The accusations from Cuomo came in a lengthy post on his official website in which he hit back at criminal charges filed against him by Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple for allegedly groping a female aide. Cuomo called the charges an “unprecedented move,” and accused Apple and James of working together. “Tish James publicly praised [Apple’s] actions, using it to validate her sham report while announcing a run for governor the same day!...

While treatment with synthetic thyroxine (T4), called levothyroxine, is the standard of care for hypothyroidism, for certain patients, combining T4 with triiodothyronine (T3)—another thyroid hormone—may be a reasonable approach. This, however, is not without debate within the medical community. The Standard of Care (T4) The guidelines-approved treatment for hypothyroidism is thyroid hormone replacement with a once-daily dose of synthetic thyroxine (T4), also referred to as L-thyroxine or L-T4. Besides a generic form, levothyroxine is also available in the United States under the brand names Synthroid, Levoxyl, Tirosint, and Unithroid....

The Windies already had the series wrapped up going into Sunday’s finale in Grenada, and they were again dominant in St George’s. Ireland captain Andy Balbirnie led by example with 71 while Andy McBrine gave the innings late impetus with an unbeaten 25. However, the tourists were bowled out for 203 as leg-spinner Hayden Walsh (4-36) and Oshane Thomas (3-41) starred with the ball for the Windies. That target proved well within the reach of the Windies in a rain-affected chase, which saw them pursue a revised target of 197 from 47 overs....

First photos of the model portray the RZ as a close relative of the Toyota BZ4X and, by default, the Subaru Solterra. Its design was first previewed in the Lexus LF-Z Electrified concept, which made its debut earlier this year. The RZ will make its way to market as the company’s second electric vehicle (EV) but the company’s first EV to be sold in America (the UX 300e was only for the China market)....

For more than a month the ACLU has been searching for a librarian who doesn’t want to cooperate and is willing to serve as a test case in the courts. “This statute trumps protections in place in 49 of 50 states, with consequences that could evoke images of Big Brother,” says the ACLU’s Gregory T. Nogeim. But librarians may be too good at keeping quiet. In February 2002, just a few months after the law’s passage, the University of Illinois Library Research Center anonymously surveyed more than 1,000 public libraries....

I have supported Aston Villa since the age of 7, when I was shown a Premier League table during the middle of the 2008/2009 season, and told that they were based in Birmingham. I’m Irish, but have family who are from the city, and when I had visited there, I loved it. Hence, I was sold. 2007-2010: Oh what a time! The hardest thing to believe at the time was that Villa were sitting pretty at 3rd in the standings, behind only Liverpool and Chelsea, and one place ABOVE Manchester United....

With lens replacement surgery, also known as refractive lens exchange or clear lens extraction, as the name suggests, it’s all about the lens. The lens is the part of the eye that refracts light onto the light-sensing retina at the back of the eye. When the light does not land in quite the right place with your lens, one strategy is to replace this lens with an artificial lens that can fix the issue....

New Orleans was without its best on-the-ball defender in Jrue Holiday and best rim protector in Anthony Davis. Those absences gave Leonard an opportunity to use the Pelicans’ up-tempo pace against them by going strong to the basket early and often. Leonard scored 31 points and the Toronto Raptors snapped a two-game skid with a 127-104 victory over undermanned New Orleans on Friday night. “I got a lot of buckets in transition, easy layups, even wide-open shots, and that probably got me going a little bit,” Leonard said....

Chicago media reporter Robert Feder stated that Les was found dead in his Elk Grove Village home. News of his death was shared by David Haugh on The Mully and Haugh Show. David said that Grobstein was a good friend to those he had never met, and although people liked to imitate him, he had a unique personality. He also added that Les knew everything about Chicago sports and was interested in talking about them....

Actually, the differences between them may be more relevant. The only two words about domestic policy in Kennedy’s Inaugural Address were “at home”–added at the last minute. He saw even the issue of civil rights as mostly a matter of how it would be viewed overseas. Clinton, though more personally interested in foreign policy than people think (he first came east from Arkansas to study it), sees his presidency mostly in domestic terms....

On Tuesday, the school board moved to fire 496 of the district’s approximately 73,000 workers. Most of the staff had probably been on leave since mid-October, when LAUSD employees were supposed to have gotten their first dose at minimum, according to the Los Angeles Daily News. The second dose was required by November 15. Of those fired, 418 were employees with no credentials but important staff, like instructional aides, cafeteria workers, custodians and others....

“I can’t take them anymore. Let the backlash begin,” writes a disaffected former fan in The Richmond Times Dispatch. After a recent “Friends” puff piece by the “Today” show’s Matt Lauer–“It’s a lovefest on the set!”–two local New York anchors could barely contain their boredom. “Fascinating story,” said one. “I was hanging on every word,” her deskmate giggled. You know things are bad when people from your own network are taking potshots....

Following months of fanfare, Burton was seen stepping up to the lectern during the final week of July, as the high-profile search for a permanent replacement for the late Alex Trebek drew to its (then) conclusion. And when it was announced that the show’s then-executive producer Mike Richards had landed the coveted role, Burton’s supporters decried him being overlooked for a position they felt he was born to take on....

True, the numbers of people who altered their phones are minuscule compared with the 1 million users who’ve bought iPhones so far. But just as a 17-year-old made international headlines a few weeks earlier when he was among the first to unlock the iPhone, the media jumped on tales of woe from iPhone lovers who were off the hook permanently. (The solution offered by one Apple PR person—buy another iPhone—seemed gratuitously cruel....

Mark Barthel, who works with Robert Lewandowski’s agent Cezary Kucharsky, has revealed that the 28-year-old is set to extend his stay at the Allianz Arena. Mou more like Wenger every day “It won’t be long until he signs,” Barthel told kicker. Lewandowski’s current contract expires at the end of 2019, but Bayern are eager to see the Poland international extend his deal, after he was linked with a move away....

With all the commotion about Ewan McGregor coming back to play the titular character of the upcoming miniseries Obi-Wan Kenobi, it makes sense that Neeson would want to make his return to Star Wars as well. After all, Revenge of the Sith concluded with the suggestion that Obi-Wan Kenobi would spend his time in exile learning how to return from the netherworld of the Force from Qui-Gon Jinn. RELATED: Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Grand Inquisitor, Explained...

McManus argues, most recently in the current issue of Card Player Magazine , that the Iranians actually invented poker, or a game quite close to it, which over the centuries made its way to France, across the Atlantic to New Orleans, then up the Mississippi with riverboat gamblers. His basic point is that chess, where all the pieces are visible on the board, is not a very useful metaphor for Middle Eastern politics the way the Persians play the game....

Turkey last month signed a memorandum of understanding offering to send troops to back the embattled Government of National Accord as the rival forces of Libyan National Army leader Field Marshall Khalifa Haftar laid siege to Tripoli. Following an emergency gathering, the Council of Ministers “unanimously agreed” to accept the offer “for security and military cooperation” between the GNA and Turkey, according to the GNA. Stations such as the Qatar-based Al-Ahrar TV and Al Jazeera outlets as well as Saudi Arabia’s Al Arabiya first reported the news, citing sources within the GNA....

Business Insider’s report indicates Stadia’s streaming technology is being pitched and licensed to gaming publishers and companies as “Google Stream,” utilizing the same technology powering Stadia’s library. Considering other games have implemented their own proprietary streaming versions (like Hitman 3 or Control on Nintendo Switch), it makes sense Google would attempt to sell its technology to any publisher interested in a streaming version of its game outside of any publishing fees associated with the Stadia storefront....
