The blazes began on Sunday in the Table Mountain National Park, prompting the evacuation of hikers from the area. The park said in a statement that the original fire was first reported at 9 a.m. local time on Sunday. Subsequently, around 130 firefighters were dispatched to fight the fire, with more joining the effort over the course of the day as the blaze spread. Park officials said that the fires grew quickly, in part, thanks to high temperatures, low relative humidity and strong winds....

Beyond the Beltway, the state of the nation’s economy is issue No. 1. But from the White House to Capitol Hill, Washington seems paralyzed on matters vital to the nation’s economic health. On taxes and banking, energy and even unemployment benefits, the combination of a fractious Congress, a disengaged administration and the intractable demands of interest groups has brought action to a halt. Things have gotten so bad that senators are hiring lobbyists to move legislation, while the House conducted much of last week’s business by voice vote to avert controversy....

Bush said he couldn’t imagine planes being turned into missiles and flown into buildings, a statement that, if he read the newspapers, he would realize had been rescinded by his national-security adviser. That scenario was routinely envisioned, though on a lesser scale than 9/11, whenever there was a high-profile event, like the Olympics or a visit from the pope, former FBI director Louis Freeh testified this week. Bush also clings to the fiction that finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq is still a prospect, citing the recent discovery of mustard gas buried on a turkey farm in Libya....

The film, written and directed by Josh Trank of Chronicle (2012) fame and Fantastic Four (2015) infamy, focuses on “the untold story” of Capone later in his life.

It followed widespread outrage from the soccer community — and what they saw as a weak initial stance from the governing bodies. The first proposal was to allow Russian teams to compete, but not in Russia, not with the national flag or with the national anthem, and not under the name of “Russia.” Perhaps unsurprisingly, Russia appealed this across-the-board ban — and had continued to hope for a place in this year’s World Cup via the playoff route....

Adebayo suffered a torn Ulnar Collateral Ligament in his right thumb against the Denver Nuggets last week and the big man is expected to miss between four and six weeks, which is sure to be a trying period for the Miami franchise who are expected to be among the contenders in the Eastern Conference. NBA League Pass: Sign up to unlock live out-of-market games (7-day free trial) Following a 124-102 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, who were without Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Heat are now 1-2 without their All-Star big man in the lineup....

The poll showed that 52 percent of likely voters would cast a ballot for Biden, while 42 percent would vote for Trump. In Wisconsin, where protests are ongoing since the shooting of Jacob Blake in August, Biden polled at 50 percent while Trump polled at 44 percent. Arizona, Ohio, Iowa, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida—accounting for 95 electoral college votes in total—are the states which are a toss-up if the election was held today....

I used to have a program for the Amiga call Aural Visual, written by a fellow name Dan Egloff in Atlanta. It was about 30 years ahead of its time.

According to Jacob Lorinc of The Toronto Star, Justice Geoffrey Morawetz has granted permission to utilize an injunction to forcibly remove protesters from the bridge. The injunction’s draft is expected to be presented around 5 p.m., with it taking effect at 7 p.m. local time. The injunction comes hours after Ontario Premier Doug Ford officially declared a state of emergency for Ottawa, labeling the protest as a “siege” that he says is taking the city and its citizens hostage....

“It’s not a punishment. Every player wants to play, wants to be on the ice. That’s normal. We have 28 guys right now, and they all want to be on the ice,” Ducharme explained. “We like KK. He played the 75 (total) games this year, he’s been showing good progression, he had a good stretch in the playoffs. It doesn’t mean that (because) he’s not playing tonight he won’t be back....

“It’s really fun to see the guys enjoying themselves in the dressing room. They deserve it,” assistant coach Luke Richardson said postgame. Richardson is serving as head coach with Dominique Ducharme (COVID-19) out. “It’s hard to put into words how proud we are of them but they deserve it, and they’re not done yet. They still have fire in their eyes and are already talking about [the final].” The Canadiens took a long road to get to this point, and that was just in 2021....

Led by the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, an international group of researchers has shed new light on how cancer thrives. Previous studies have shown how cancer cells can sense the stiffness of the environment they are in, from hard bone and tough muscle to soft, fatty tissue. They found that cancer cells have a “sweet spot” of stiffness, neither too hard nor too soft, where they can move faster....

Some well-known cancer ribbons include the pink ribbon for breast cancer and the purple ribbon for pancreatic cancer. This article lists cancer ribbon colors, the cancers they are meant to represent, and associated awareness months. Sometimes, many different ribbons are combined together to represent all cancers.
