Looters ransacked businesses on Monday, including the Macy’s department store in Herald Square. Officers arrested approximately 700 people overnight Monday despite a curfew set in place by Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. “Effective immediately, all full duty uniformed members of the service RDO’s [regular days off] are cancelled,” read a memo sent to all NYPD commanding officers Tuesday, according to the New York Post....

The latest tally of 105 new deaths, which occurred Monday, was announced during Governor Andrew Cuomo’s daily news briefing, during which he said COVID-19 hospitalizations and new cases were also continuing to decline throughout the state. During the state’s peak in early April, thousands of deaths were reported on a daily basis. “The number is down dramatically from where it was in the first place, but it’s still painfully high,” Cuomo said of the latest death reports....

It’s important to stipulate that it is impossible to get such a list “right.” The New York metropolitan area has too many all-time great athletes and city legends for this project, which is why there is a companion piece you absolutely need to check out. Maybe that’s the more accurate collection. It’ll be worth having the debate. The guiding forces for this list were on-field success and cultural importance to the New York City/northern New Jersey region....

Michael Barbaro, host of the Times’ The Daily podcast, reportedly leant on multiple journalists who were critical of the newspaper’s handling of the Caliphate scandal. The Times launched an investigation of its own reporting when it emerged that one of the Caliphate’s central figures had lied about his supposed role as an Islamic State fighter and executioner in Syria. Folkenflik said he and at least three others were pressed privately by Barbaro to “temper their critiques” of the Caliphate controversy....

The 20-year-old woman, identified as V. Nivedha, and her husband G. Perumalsamy, 24, were visiting relatives in Uthangarai in the state of Tamil Nadu over the weekend, The Hindu newspaper reported. The couple, both from Bargur in Krishnagiri, were married last month. The newlyweds and the groom’s 20-year-old sister Yuvarani stood alongside three teenage siblings in waist-deep water near the Pambar Dam to pose for a picture. One of them, a 14-year-old boy named Santosh, slipped and dragged his sisters Sneha, 18, and Kanniga, 19, as well as the newly married woman and the groom’s sister into the water....

“Japan has decided not to send senior officials to the Beijing Olympics in February — a move that will align it with the U.S. diplomatic boycott over China’s alleged human rights abuses,” MSNBC producer Kyle Griffin wrote in his tweet. Griffin is a senior producer of The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell, one of the network’s primetime news discussion programs. His tweet referred to Japan’s decision to join the U....

Virginia’s election was called for Glenn Youngkin, a Trump-endorsed Republican, following a competitive election cycle that saw McAuliffe’s initially strong lead narrowing over the last several weeks. Youngkin, the former co-CEO of the private equity firm the Carlyle Group, has not held public office before but has now become the first Republican governor elected in Virginia in more than 10 years. The last Republican elected to the position was Robert McDonnell, who won office in 2009 and served from 2010 to 2014....

Everything we are used to seeing in what President Trump calls “Fake News” existed by 1972. The parallels are amazing—and are part of why I decided to spend so much time analyzing 1972 and 2020 as similar patterns of conflict. The current New York Times overt shift from smearing President Trump with Russian collusion (which collapsed) to smearing President Trump with allegations of racism were all foreshadowed by the universal elite media hostility to President Nixon a half century ago....

By handing the GOP a slim congressional majority–the smallest in the House in decades–the American people got the check on Bill Clinton that they seemed to want. They also got something else they wanted: a Congress that will consider only small,’ incremental programs, nothing on the order of 1995’s HillaryCare or 1995’s “Contract With America.” Gingrich knows he can’t be the grandiose figure he was two years ago. Musing on Election Day, he said he had to “slow down and assess,” and his advisers say they will try-probably without much success-to make him more “warm and fuzzy....

Mnuchin said Republicans want to start with a $1 trillion spending goal for the next economic recovery bill, which Mnuchin referred to as “CARES 4.0.” The bill comes after months of record spending by Congress as legislators battled to keep American businesses and workers afloat during the shutdowns the coronavirus pandemic caused. “We’re focused on starting with another trillion dollars,” Mnuchin said. “We think that will make a big impact....

Neymar produced a dazzling display as PSG thumped Bordeaux 6-2, scoring a sensational free-kick and a penalty either side of an assist for Edinson Cavani. PSG 9/2 to win Champions League Meunier was also on target – along with Julian Draxler and Kylian Mbappe – as Unai Emery’s side handed Bordeaux their first defeat of the Ligue 1 season. However, having been held to a goalless draw at Montpellier last weekend, the Belgian right-back was unwilling to get carried away by their latest result....

When throwing an eclectic mix of personalities and temperaments into one giant melting pot, it is inevitable that tempers will occasionally fray. dabblebet: Get the latest PL title odds There have been countless examples of that happening down the years, with Barcelona the latest in a long line of clubs to have seen the boundaries of acceptable behaviour blurred in the heat of the moment.

New Jersey State Police Superintendent Pat Callahan said during a virus briefing Monday that last week saw the most officer deaths in a single week years. In total, 23 officers died—22 of the deaths were related to the virus. While he does not know the vaccination status of the officers who died, he said he believes vaccine hesitancy has played a role. “I do think the reluctance to get vaccinated has contributed,” he said....

It’s a pitch–made by a high-octane group of New Yorkers trying to bring home the 2012 Summer Olympics–that’s gained new urgency since September 11. Their effort, begun in 1998, cleared an important hurdle a few weeks ago when New York made the short list of American cities–Houston, San Francisco and Washington are the others–from which the U.S. Olympic Committee will choose a single winner next November. The U.S. entry will then compete against other countries for the 2012 Games....

Bet on Roma to win Serie A The midfielder was touted as a potential signing for Serie A rivals Inter, as coach Luciano Spalletti said the Nerazzurri were working on a deal to sign him. Nainggolan has also been heavily linked with a move to England, as Chelsea, who made an approach last summer, and Manchester United reportedly held an interest. However, Roma president James Pallotta insisted a deal had been agreed when the club had talks with Nainggolan over a week ago and it has now been made official....

This being the week after Labor Day, I am aware that the principal dress code, or lack of one, on most people’s minds has to do with whether it is really appropriate for a 14-year-old to head off for the first day of school with magenta hair, pierced eyebrows, shredded jeans and a safety pin through her nose. But that would actually be a close question compared with some of the open-and-shut cases that arise from airborne travel, especially in summer....

It binds to the NMDA receptors in the brain, which are believed to play a role in Alzheimer’s disease, to decrease abnormal brain activity.

It was supposed to be UConn’s Shabazz Napier contending with his opponent’s infuriating defense at the game’s decisive moment. Instead, it was Florida trying desperately to catch up after misspending its early command of the game, and it was Wilbekin with Napier in his grill trying to manufacture an opportunity for the Gators. Napier did not budge. Wilbekin faked once. He still didn’t budge. Wilbekin faked again, and this time he found Napier smacking at the ball and knocking it loose, and by the time Napier recovered it and sent it ahead to backcourt partner Ryan Boatright the Huskies were on their way to a fourth NCAA championship game since 1999 — but the first of a new regime....
