But now, a reprieve. PBS started production last week on a 90-minute conclusion to the series, to air Oct. 11. The final episode “ties up the loose ends,” says John Falsey, who produced the show with his partner, Joshua Brand. (The two have been luckier with “Northern Exposure.”) After the conclusion, PBS will re-air all 39 original episodes. Falsey and star Sam Waterston both say “Fly Away” was able to last as long as it did largely because of viewer support and viewer mail....

Teixeira came into the season with a new diet and workout plan that has helped vault him into the American League MVP discussion with 24 home runs and 65 RBIs in 87 games. If it were up to Rodriguez, the Yankees first baseman would walk away with some hardware at the end of the season.

Milwaukee landed right-handed pitcher Bowdien “Buddy” Derby and catcher Jacob Nottingham in the deal. MORE: Fantasy Source: Key players on new teams Davis, 28, batted .247/.323/.505 with 27 home runs and 66 RBIs in 121 games last season. In 2014, his first full season in the bigs, he belted 22 homers in 144 games.

His modesty masked whopping profits. Working from a computer in his bedroom, Lebed made hundreds of thousands of dollars trading stocks online. Unfortunately, not all of it was legal, according to the SEC. Last week the agency brought and settled civil fraud charges against Lebed saying he used the Internet to manipulate stock prices in a scheme that netted him more than a quarter of a million dollars. The SEC says Lebed used online chat rooms to drive up the price of 11 stocks he owned, a practice known as “pumping and dumping....

He will never get it. In three of the most significant decisions of this term, which ended last week, the Supreme Court ruled that employees like Murphy, who can function normally when their impairments are treated, do not qualify for protection under the 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). Advocates for the disabled say the rulings strip millions of protection from bias. Ecstatic corporate managers say it stems a growing tide of unnecessary lawsuits....

Cuomo’s intermittent objections to Trump’s handling of COVID-19, as well as national protests, date back to early April. But his comments at the DNC’s virtual opening evening were some of the governor’s most direct, with Cuomo labeling the Trump administration “dysfunctional and incompetent” in light of the United State’s ongoing virus outbreak. “In many ways, COVID is just a metaphor,” Cuomo said during his remarks at the convention. “The virus attacks when the body is weak and when it cannot defend itself....

“I didn’t want to risk the team a medal because they worked way too hard for my screw ups,” she said, adding, “I think we’re a little too stressed out.” Simone Biles participated in one event at the 2021 Olympics’ women’s gymnastics team final on Tuesday before exiting the floor. She bailed out of the vault she attempted, logging a 13.766 score before exiting the floor with a trainer....

Justice Department officials called it the largest single seizure of illegal automatic weapons in U.S. history. The complaint unsealed last week implicated 14 people – and drew a seamy portrait of Chinese brokers happy to create false paperwork and transship weapons through third countries. That was powerful ammo for those in Congress who would punish China for its rampant piracy of U.S. films and software and its transfer of nuclear technology to Pakistan....

Economists say that helps explain Spain’s enduring economic boom. The onetime laggard is now a European pace-setter. These days Spain accounts for a third of all the jobs created in the European Union. Unemployment has plunged–down from a peak of 25 percent to barely 8 percent today–while growth is running substantially above average. So what’s bothering Madrid? To businesses elsewhere–think France or Germany–Spain looks like a model for the job-creating flexibility they crave at a time when EU unemployment stubbornly hovers around 9 percent....

Both sides of the Atlantic are now experiencing border-crossing upticks, albeit on different timelines. The redux of Europe’s 2015 migrant crisis unfolding in the Canaries began months before COVID, and the oscillating volume of arrivals since has fluctuated based on the interplay of lockdown-induced youth unemployment in Morocco, Senegal and Mauritania, perceived largesse of welfare and job opportunities in Europe and an asylum system that leaves member states trapped between the fair demand to spread inflows across the EU27 and the uncompensated costs they’re left to incur while Brussels fails to react....

Genevan physicians analyzed results from 669 study participants, including healthcare workers and hospitalized patients. The study found that a loss of taste or smell was common early on. At the 30- to 45-day mark, 32% of the 669 participants reported at least one or more symptoms—meaning persistent symptoms are present in at least one-third of COVID-19 cases. Among those symptoms were: FatigueLoss of taste or smellShortness of breathCough Growing List of Persistent Symptoms According to Jacob Teitelbaum, MD, a board-certified internist and fibromyalgia expert based in Hawaii, that growing list of long-term symptoms also includes insomnia, widespread pain, brain fog, and palpitations....

I walked into the family enclosure where a donkey, several goats and some chickens watched my arrival. I saw my mother under the shade roof attached to the cooking hut; she was with my sister Aysha and with several other women of the village; they were all in mourning. Mother looked very old now. Her hair was matted with the earth of grieving. She wore dark clothing, a dark shawl over her old head....

Ramsey appeared to slip on the 3G pitch as he controlled the ball in stoppage time, and was replaced by Wigan Athletic’s Emyr Huws after receiving treatment. The Estadi Comunal d’Andorra la Vella surface passed laboratory tests before it was deemed playable for its first competitive fixture, but both teams struggled to get to grips with the artificial grass. Two goals from Gareth Bale proved the difference, with the Real Madrid man curling in a fine free kick nine minutes from time to secure an unconvincing victory, but that was overshadowed by Ramsey’s late injury....

Not far at all, it turns out. Bob McGinn, a veteran journalist who has covered the Packers for four decades, reported in The Athletic that Rodgers’ relationship with general manager Brian Gutekunst has become so fractured that Rodgers referred to the GM as “Jerry Krause” in group chats with his teammates. MORE: Where are Packers in SN’s latest NFL Power Rankings? Rodgers is angry with Gutekunst about several personnel moves over the past few seasons, enough so that McGinn’s reporting confirmed the player’s intent not to return to the Packers as long as Gutekunst remains in charge of personnel....

The Packers quarterback’s placement on the COVID-19 list earlier this season proved to be a catalyst for a hectic November: Rodgers came under fire for his deceptive comments regarding his vaccination status, though the quarterback didn’t help matters in press conferences that followed. Rodgers spent the minimum time on the COVID list, missing just a single game after contracting the virus in early November, but inflammatory remarks by Rodgers — and a few battles with the media that followed — the time dealing with the aftermath has been anything but minimum....

The chief meteorologist for ABC News appeared on DWTS back in 2016 alongside pro Val Chmerkovskiy. The pair placed third in the reality TV competition, with deaf model Nyle DiMarco and pro Peta Murgatroyd crowned as the season 22 winners. Despite not finishing in the top spot, there were no hard feelings. “I felt so satisfied with Nyle winning. I believe in him and I believe in what he is going to do for the world with this,” Zee told reporters at the time....

Ablation can be done with surgery or with less invasive techniques, such as laser treatment. It is used to treat a variety of medical conditions, from nearsightedness to certain heart issues. It can also be used to address certain cosmetic concerns, such as uneven skin texture. This article reviews the possible uses for ablation and how each procedure is performed. How Is Ablation Performed? Ablation is performed in a hospital or healthcare provider’s office....

Republicans may be ascendant on Capitol Hill, but they’ve grown skittish about abortion. Several forces have combined to push the issue to the margins in the last two years: extremist rhetoric at the Republican National Convention in Houston; President Clinton’s appointment of Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the Supreme Court, strengthening the majority that upheld Roe v. Wade in 1992, and a series of violent attacks on abortion clinics and doctors....

Officers arrested the 26-year-old on charges of “intentionally and knowingly” causing the abortion, sparking international backlash against Texas’ stringent new abortion restrictions. In September, the state government passed Senate Bill 8, banning any abortion starting at six weeks into a pregnancy, when many women don’t even know they’re pregnant. “She miscarried at a hospital and allegedly confided to hospital staff that she had attempted to induce her own abortion and she was reported to the authorities by hospital administration or staff,” Rickie Gonzalez, founder of abortion assistance group La Frontera Fund, told Reuters on Saturday....
