To be fair, though, even after its electrifying debut against Washington on the first Monday night of 2013, Kelly’s Eagles still needed half the season to settle into its groove. It may take less time this year. Or maybe more. MORE: Top images of Week 1 | Eagles LB Alonso makes acrobatic, one-handed INT But this time, the team that was lauded as all Kelly’s, as fully his creation composed of “his kind” of players, was not ready for its debut....

The poll shows that 49 percent of likely U.S. voters approve of Trump’s job performance while 49 percent disapprove. The remaining 2 percent of answers were not reported by the poll. According to Rasmussen Reports, the poll asked a total of 1,500 likely U.S. voters their opinions on Trump’s performance while in the White House via telephone and an online survey. The margin of sampling error for the poll is +/- 2....

Despite less travel in the past year due to the pandemic, car sales have increased by 9 percent in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 due, in part, to the lack of social distancing possible in public transportation. Although one-person trips provide isolation, there are more cars on the road, increasing traffic congestion and the demand for fuel. “The statistics in the past 1.5 years show that the overall traffic is down by about 10 percent due to the reduced commute traffic by working remotely....

It’s the latest episode of the internet doing weird things, but the TikTok trend claims it is a “healthy alternative” to the popular carbonated drink. It comes after one woman, who dubs herself the “balsamic vinegar girl” was shown the recipe by her pilates instructor. Now, internet users are trying it themselves and reactions are split. Amanda Jones introduced the drink to TikTok in a video that now has almost 6 million views....

No one likes to wait. But if holding out for another year leads to a better deal, then that’s certainly the right approach. Our two countries have the potential to strike a top-notch agreement that sets the standard for future international trade pacts and puts the rest of the world on notice. Negotiators would be wise to use this extra time to secure state-of-the-art intellectual property and market access protections for American innovators....

The internal report was written by Dr. Deborah Birx, coordinator of the White House coronavirus task force, according to The Washington Post, which obtained the report. “We are entering the most concerning and most deadly phase of this pandemic … leading to increasing mortality,” Birx wrote in the report, according to The Post. “This is not about lockdowns—It hasn’t been about lockdowns since March or April. It’s about an aggressive balanced approach that is not being implemented....

Think about that forecast again: $200 by 2010. Even at $112, the closing price last week, oil is transforming the world. Americans are switching to small fuel-efficient cars, and all manner of alternative energies are becoming economically viable. Forgotten regions like Canada’s Alberta province are awakening as frontier boom provinces. On the downside, energy prices are a major driver of the food price inflation that is now producing riots, and toppling leaders, across the developing world....

Your favorite time of year, when that one annoying person you know from high school posts a Facebook status update, which is about 4,000 words long about why 2017 sucked and how they’ll change in 2018. Well, I’m here to extend that to all 30 teams in MLB. 2017 was a great year for some and OK for others, but heading into the 2018 season, every team should have a goal....

“We’ll see,” James told New York Magazine. “If [Cuomo] wants to talk about his record, I would be more than happy to expose his record.” Cuomo is preparing to make a political comeback now that the criminal investigations into allegations of sexual misconduct by the former governor have crumbled in the months following his resignation from office. On Monday, Cuomo unveiled a new ad called “Politics vs. the Law” in an effort to clear his name, pointing to “the rejection of the Attorney General’s findings by five separate District Attorneys as well as expose revelations of the prosecutorial misconduct behind her report,” according to a press release from his team....

Omar Wilks, an eight-year veteran firefighter at the FDNY, alleged that he was punished for 30 days and reassigned for speaking out against using brutal tactics on civil rights protesters and attempting to “change the culture of discrimination,” the New York Daily News reported Tuesday. The 13-page lawsuit was filed in Brooklyn against the city, FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro and five other department officials. In the court filing, Wilks claims that his supervisor instructed him and other firefighters to “assist in controlling protesters by using the fire truck’s water hoses” during widespread demonstrations after the police killing of George Floyd in May 2020....

The survey, released Tuesday by the Siena College Research Institute, found that Cuomo has a 56 percent approval rating. This follows the January report by New York Attorney General Letitia James that found his administration undercounted nursing home deaths by the thousands. That approval rating is just one point off the 57 percent rating he received in January and is the same as the rating he received in November, according to the institute....

Two girls, aged 10 and 11, and a bus monitor face charges in the case. The two minors have been charged with second degree harassment. Additionally, the 11-year-old was charged with third degree assault as a hate crime. All the defendants are white. According to WWNY, a parent complained to police that her daughter was a passenger on a school bus when she was assaulted. She was also the subject of racially-motivated language....

“The [total] number of hospitalizations appears to have hit an apex,” Cuomo said at his daily coronavirus briefing where he displayed that the current number of hospitalizations is at 18,654. New York City has 64 percent of COVID-19 hospitalizations while Long Island has 22 percent. Intubations were negative 26 Friday, a decrease that the governor called a good sign. The governor had originally called for 140,000 beds and 30,000 ventilators based on projections....

A group of 17 health care professionals, including doctors and nurses, sued the state of New York for violating their Constitutional rights by not allowing religious exemptions for the state’s vaccine mandate, arguing against it in a lawsuit Monday. “The same front line health care workers hailed as heroes by the media for treating COVID patients before vaccines were available, including the Plaintiffs herein, are now vilified by the same media as pariahs who must be excluded from society until they are vaccinated against their will,” the lawsuit said....

The 26-year-old joined the Major League Soccer outfit from Finnish side HJK Helsinki in 2016. Despite having a splendid start, the former Asante Kotoko left-back suffered a dip in form after hurting his leg against Portland Timbers in July 2016. Although he recovered fully last month, he couldn’t make a single appearance for the senior side in the just-concluded season, featuring only two times for the junior team in the United Soccer League....

“We’re at about 15 percent of the uniform force is out sick,” Shea said during a Facebook live Q&A. “I can tell you that translates into, the most up to date numbers, over 5,600 people out sick.” Shea’s comments come at a time where New York has become the U.S.’s coronavirus epicenter, with over 67,000 confirmed cases, according to a tracker provided by Johns Hopkins University. There have also been over 1,300 deaths in the state related to the coronavirus, which causes the respiratory disease COVID-19....

The deal was struck after Oren-Pines sent a single tweet to President Donald Trump claiming that he could provide ventilators for the coronavirus pandemic. On March 27, Trump tweeted that Ford and General Motors should “START MAKING VENTILATORS, NOW!” Oren-Pines responded to Trump, writing, “We can supply ICU Ventilators, invasive and noninvasive. Have someone call me URGENT.” After Oren-Pines failed to deliver, Heather Groll, a spokesperson for the New York Office of General Services, told Buzzfeed that that the contract had been “terminated” and “a bulk of the money was returned to the state....

The three-day moving average of daily new cases in the state was 1,371 on October 5, a 68 percent increase from the figure reported two weeks ago, when it was at 814.71 on September 22, according to the latest report Tuesday by JHU. In New York City, 4,005 cases were recorded in the past seven days since October 6, while 5,242 infections were reported in the rest of the state (excluding New York City) in the same 7-day period, according to the latest report Tuesday from the U....

The New York City Board of Elections (BOE) announced late on Tuesday that they had mistakenly included 135,000 test ballots in their first tabulation of ranked-choice votes in the Democratic mayoral primary. The BOE was forced to retract results released earlier on Tuesday that showed Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams’ lead narrowing to just two points over former Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia. Some social media users linked the BOE error to unfounded claims about the 2020 presidential election, suggesting the mistake in New York could be framed as a justification for accusations of mass voter fraud....
