My problem with “Dow 36,000” has nothing to do with the fact that the Dow has fallen more than 1,000 points from its all-time high on Aug. 25. Stomach-churning, but for long-term investors, a mere blip. My problem is that even if you accept the thesis that U.S. stocks are no riskier over the long term than Treasury bonds–which I don’t–you have to torture the numbers to justify 36,000 as a reasonable price for the Dow today....
During an interview on CNN’s New Day, Fauci was asked what he thinks about states that are removing their mask mandates, such as Texas and Mississippi. “It’s [a] concern,” said Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. “We understand people’s need to get back to normal and we are going in that direction, but when you start doing things like completely putting aside all public health measures, as if you’re turning a light switch off, that’s quite risky....
MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell asked Fauci during an interview if career FDA officials are involved in a “hit job,” as the president has claimed. “No. That I can say with a good degree of certainty,” Fauci responded. “They are devoted to science to the public health and the decisions they make.… I have confidence in them.…They are very good people.” Fauci’s comments come two days after Trump tagged FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn, whom Trump appointed in 2017, in a tweet, complaining of “another political hit job” because of the agency’s plans to raise the standards for a coronavirus vaccine emergency authorization, Axios reported....
Speaking to Snapchat’s Good Luck America host Peter Hamby, Fauci was cautiously optimistic over the prospect of the NBA, NHL and MLB making a return over the next couple of months, but stressed the ongoing threat of coronavirus meant the summer would come too soon to allow fans in arenas and stadiums. “Nobody comes to the stadium,” he explained. “Put [the players] in big hotels, wherever you want to play, keep them very well surveilled....
Based on the acclaimed Valerie Martin novel, it’s the Jekyll and Hyde story told from the point of view of Dr. Jekyll’s faithful housemaid (Julia Roberts). Mary is a frightened survivor of an abusive, drunken father (Michael Gambon), and she thinks she’s found a safe haven in the scientist’s home. We know better, having seen this story before. Frears and company recast the tale as a Gothic love story in which the innocent, damaged girl is torn between her attraction to the intellectual, inhibited Jekyll and the savage, sexy Hyde (who sets off nightmares of her predatory father) – both of whom love her, though neither can consummate his attraction....
Note: If you’re newer to the EPL fantasy games, it’s a must to check starting lineups about half an hour before kickoff. Much like baseball, if a player isn’t starting, you’ll want to swap them out. All six games on this slate kick off at 10 a.m. ET Saturday. EPL DFS Oct. 19: DraftKings GPP Lineup Picks Forward: Raul Jimenez, Wolves vs. Southhampton ($7,300). We can’t stack Wolves against Southhampton without getting the Mexico international into our lineup....
Of course, to do so, you have to fade some high-upside Chiefs players, which is never fun, but if the 49ers can control the ball and limit Mahomes, then you should enjoy a profitable Super Bowl. MORE SUPER BOWL DFS: FanDuel lineup Super Bowl DraftKings Showdown Picks: Chiefs vs. 49ers CAPTAIN (1.5x points, 1.5x price): TE George Kittle, 49ers ($12,600) The Chiefs tied for the third-most receptions allowed to tight ends during the regular season, and they’ve given up a TE touchdown in each of their two playoff games....
It starts with a combo of Cleveland running backs, Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb. We pair them with Baker Mayfield and the Browns D/ST as we put our hat in the Cleveland side of the ring.

Drake’s commitment to the Wildcats stayed true this weekend when he bet $6,000 on his team to win. The Game, who isn’t a Wisconsin fan, said his top reason for picking the Badgers to win was that their school name started with a W.

The hip-hop superstar and championship-loving fan tackled the hottest topics in sports during his comedic monologue. He ripped on the partying habits of Johnny Manziel, talked about only liking championship teams, and even made a Donald Sterling joke.

After the rollercoaster of qualifying and almost not making the World Cup, Mexico is ironically now in a better position than the United States to advance from the group stage, with El Tri’s rivals - which topped CONCACAF qualifying - being drawn in Group G with Portugal, Germany and Ghana and playing in cities spread far and wide. In comparison, Mexico’s group games are all in northeastern Brazil, with fewer than 500 miles between Fortaleza, Natal and Recife....
During a recent appearance on the “Dubs Talk” podcast, the Warriors forward declared that he is the “best defender to ever play in the NBA.” Green, a former Defensive Player of the Year and five-time All-Defensive team selection, has the credentials to be in the conversation, but it’s a bold claim when you start going through the names. Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Hakeem Olajuwon, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Bill Russell, Ben Wallace — and that’s just scratching the surface....
Warriors’ forward Draymond Green continued to stir the pot when he dropped his former teammate’s name in his postgame press conference after Golden State’s Game 2 win over the Celtics. When nudged by a reporter on how the Warriors’ offensive game plan seems different in these Finals compared to their last few appearances with Durant on the roster, Green made it clear that everything has always run through superstar guard Stephen Curry....
Not Just Coffee – The Stimulating Characteristics of Caffeine First, it is important to not only blame coffee in the possible impacts on growth in children and adolescents. In the past, there was a concern that coffee could affect calcium absorption and bone growth and remodeling in children. Whether or not caffeine intake reduces calcium absorption is inconclusive. Caffeine may have other effects, however. Caffeine is a stimulant. It is found in soda pop, coffee, tea, energy drinks, and chocolate in varying amounts....
Unfortunately, it was overshadowed by widespread angst and criticism over NASCAR’s new group qualifying format. A crash in Round 1 of Sunday’s three-round session marred Daytona 500 qualifying. The format left drivers scrambling all over pit road and on the track just to get in line and in position to run a fast lap.

That’s the easy setup after seeing Jim Tressel and Brian Bosworth were selected for the College Football Hall of Fame on Friday. How could a coach who is still serving his show-cause penalty from the fallout from TattooGate at Ohio State be let in the Hall of Fame? How could a linebacker who was suspended for a failed drug test, mocked the NCAA on national television and was kicked off the team before his senior season be let in, too?...
Ranchers grow hay to nourish their herds through the winter, when snow covers the grass they normally graze. In a interview with the Associated Press, Routt County, Colorado, rancher Jim Stanko said one of his fields produced just 10 bales of hay, down from 30 last year due to historically low water levels in the Yampa River. “Everybody is gonna be selling their cows, so it’s probably smarter now to do it while the price is up before the market gets flooded,” said Buzz Bates, a rancher from Moab, Utah, who was selling 209 cow-calf pairs, or about 30 percent of his herd....
