New York lost its season finale to Philadelphia, 34-26 on Sunday, but just like he’s been the entire second half of the season, the wide receiver was a big winner. He tied his short-career high with 12 receptions and set his new best for yardage, 185 — hard to do given he had 130-plus yards in five other games. Add in the touchdown he also scored against the Eagles, and these are the first-rounder from LSU’s final totals: 91 catches, 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns — in just 12 games....

The beef jerky, produced by the Legacy Food Company, contains sesame oil, which is an allergen that has been omitted from the label, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said. The items were produced between July 20 last year and May 14, 2021. The following products are being recalled: 10-lb. packages containing “N4 Vua Kho Bo Curry Beef Jerky. “10-lb. packages containing “N8 Vua Kho Bo Flank Steak Beef Jerky Fish Sauce....

Christian Grasland said he delivered the nest of hornets to a municipal building in Mauron, in the Brittany region of northwest France, to “raise awareness” about Asian hornets. The insect is the largest member of the wasp family and conservationists have warned that the invasive species’ existence in Europe could have a devastating impact on local honeybee populations. They were first introduced to Europe in 2004, when they are believed to have entered France via cargo....

In the view of nearly everyone on the ground along the Albania-Kosovo border, the KLA has been decimated by the Serb onslaught. Serb forces have driven out the ethnic Albanians who supported the guerrillas, destroyed food stocks, pushed the fighters back into small pockets of resistance and blocked the guerrillas’ supply routes, say KLA sources. “In most of Kosovo the ethnic cleansing is complete,” said one KLA commander called Llirak , reached by satellite phone in the eastern region of Kosovo....

An awful lot of us would be only too happy to see him go. After a decade of war and ever-growing austerity, the majority now finally wants to see Milosevic out of office. But it’s an apathetic majority. Sixty percent, according to an opinion poll last month, fear that the worst is yet to come, most of them believing that Slobo will not step down even if he is defeated at the elections now scheduled for next year....

The bailouts were timed to reassure foreign investors who are lining up to buy into China’s murky financial industry, even before it’s clear just what is for sale. Under its agreement to join the World Trade Organization, China is opening banks, brokerages and insurance companies to foreign investors for the first time. When China Life Insurance went public last month, it put $3 billion in shares on sale, and got offers for $80 billion....

His motivation for the move isn’t hard to understand. Around the same time Abe was in India, 6,500 troops from Russia, China and four Central Asian countries converged on the Siberian city of Chelyabinsk to show off their own armed prowess. The “Peace Mission 07” exercise was held under the auspices of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO)—a group formed by Beijing and Moscow in 2001 that is ostensibly dedicated to combating terrorism....

This model has seemed good for business–Chinese trade with Africa skyrocketed from $10.6 billion in 2000 to $40 billion last year (for perspective, U.S.-Africa trade is now about $60.6 billion). The don’t-ask, don’t-tell approach held special appeal for regimes of dubious character. Sudan’s strongman, Omar al-Bashir, must have been cheered by Hu’s stop in Khartoum on February 2, when he gave the dictator a $13 million interest-free loan for a new palace and forgave a $70 million debt....

If you’re going through menopause and having hot flashes, you might be looking for a way to relieve or even prevent the uncomfortable, disruptive symptom. If you’re in the midst of a hot flash, working up a sweat at the gym is probably the last thing you’d expect to make you feel better. However, according to new research, being sedentary might make your hot flashes more frequent. Hot Flashes During Menopause Imagine feeling comfortable one moment, then experiencing a wave of heat overcoming your body the next....

Japan appeared as though they were ready to shock the world after scoring two goals within four minutes from Haraguchi and Innui. LIVE STREAM: Watch the 2018 World Cup on fuboTV (7-day free trial) Twenty minutes after the second goal was scored, Belgium began to look lethargic and scared that their World Cup dreams were over. Manager Roberto Martinez then sent in two large subs — Marouane Fellaini and Nacer Chadli — to start launching balls forward....

To add to the frenzy, it just so happens that the years building up to 2012 mark an unusual astronomical alignment, one so rare it occurs only in 30 out of every 26,000 years. During this period, the Sun will make its annual crossing of the galactic equator—the plane that bisects the Milky Way as it appears in the sky—on the same day as the winter solstice. So what does all this mean?...

Hip-hop services are popping up all over. Lawndale Community Church in Chicago packs the house with its rap-inspired version. The leaders of Minneapolis’s Sanctuary Covenant Church do hip-hop services six times a year to boost youth attendance. In Tampa, the Rev. Tommy Kyllonen’s Crossover Community Church gained 10 times as many congregants when it started using hip-hop in youth outreach programs. Holder has developed “The Hip Hop Prayer Book,” inspired by the Book of Common Prayer, which he wrote with help from dozens of rappers, musicians and poets....

What would Buddha do? Drinking liquor, eating meat and, in general, spending huge sums on sensual indulgence would seem to conflict with the core Buddhist tenets of simplicity, vegetarianism and moderation. The Buddha wasn’t all that into cruising, either. “Men and women meeting each other without pure intentions violates mindfulness trainings,” says True Virtue, a fully ordained nun in Thich Nhat Hanh’s Vietnamese Zen tradition, at the Green Mountain Dharma Center in Vermont....

“Maybe [if I had] put a bigger stamp on coming over and beating Phil Davis more convincingly, but other than that, [no],” said the reigning light heavyweight champion when asked about his first 18 months with the company, which produced a 4-0 record and a spot in the final of the World Heavyweight Grand Prix this weekend at Bellator 214. “I came over, won the belt in Madison Square Garden, defended the belt against a tough opponent (Linton Vassell), finished him, [scored a] 15-second knockout (against Muhammed Lawal) and then dominated one of the best heavyweights in Bellator who would probably be fighting for the heavyweight title if this tournament wasn’t going on (Matt Mitrione), so it’s going great right now....

While the UFC was running a show in Sunrise, Florida (that may or may not have been called UFC Fort Lauderdale), Bellator MMA broke out the big guns for a star-studded event at “The Shark Tank” (SAP Center) in San Jose, Calif. featuring a pair of championship fights, a two-time title challenger, two former champions facing off against one another and one of the most electric prospects on the roster returning to action....

The fight took place in Saitama, Japan at Rizin 14 and was contested inside a ring, with the vacant Rizin bantamweight title hanging in the balance. While the rule set allowed for kicks to the head of a grounded opponent, it also limited elbow strikes, a staple of the Bellator champion’s arsenal. Join DAZN and watch Bellator 222 on June 14 Despite starting well, Caldwell would fall to the former UFC flyweight, who has morphed into one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world since his release, as Horiguchi made him pay for leaving his neck exposed on a takedown attempt early in the third round, securing a fight-ending guillotine choke....

Lucas Perez out for six weeks A ginger cat became an instant hit within football circles when an image emerged showing the feline looking like it was stepping up to take a free kick. And it appears Bellerin has been taking tips from the cat, with the Arsenal fullback posting a photo of him recreating the now infamous ‘Catinho’ stance.

The Linemakers: History against Pharoah | Horse-by-horse breakdown While his high cruising running style is exactly what it takes to win the Belmont, American Pharoah will be tested for the lead by Materiality and that could present problems for jockey Victor Espinoza in managing the Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner down the backside. Espinoza also figures to be challenged in the timing of his move.

“I’d be the first to admit I wasn’t a good teammate early in my career,” Roethlisberger told Bleacher Report. “With time, you understand you can’t keep being a selfish player or person.

He was carted off the field to be evaluated, but re-entered the game on the game’s final drive, helping put his team in field goal range for the 18-16 win. Still, Roethlisberger didn’t attempt any intermediate or long passes, and seemed unable to use his full throwing motion....
