The Alabama House of Representatives passed the final version of Senate Bill 9 with a 75-27 vote, before it was later approved in the Senate by 23-2 on Thursday. The bill will now be sent to Alabama Governor Kay Ivey, who is expected to sign it on Friday. “Given that the Legislature has been debating proposals all week aimed at sending a strong, powerful message against the overreaching Biden vaccine mandate, the governor will review these bills tomorrow morning [November 5] with the goal of signing them into law tomorrow afternoon,” Gina Maiola, communications director for Ivey, told AL....

Many teams have enjoyed taking Alabama players in the NFL Draft during that time, but few have done it as frequently as the Patriots. The Patriots have made selecting players out of Alabama a priority in recent seasons. They have taken four players from the school in the last three drafts, and three have turned into either starters or rotational players. Indeed, the Patriots have had success recently in their Alabama investments....

Not after snowmobiles were the only way to drive to work. Not after an unscheduled plane ride for a “home” game that isn’t. Not after most players left their families behind, some still buried under the 6 feet of snow that pummeled western New York last week. Not after almost a full week without practice. MORE: ‘Free’ tickets only $125 a pop, thanks to scalpers | GALLERY: Crazy Buffalo storm photos...

Alas, when that historic battle occurred, the Americans won. For many Chinese, the defeat rankled; local resentment against the United States still simmers in the wake of NATO’s bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade. Although the final took place before sunrise in Beijing, the city’s police appeared ready for trouble, congregating in unusual strength not far from the U.S. Embassy. The streets remained quiet. Nationalist rancor aside, though, the Chinese women inspired deep admiration among the country’s growing ranks of fans....

Based on characters appearing in Marvel Comics, Agatha: Coven of Chaos is a spin-off from Marvel Studios’ WandaVision, which portrayed Wanda Maximoff and Vision living a quiet suburban life in Westview, New Jersey until a series of eerie sitcom-related happenings reveal that there’s something much more sinister at play than a quiet retirement from the events of the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe. Despite a short overall runtime, the show was a success and saw many fans latch onto the villainous character Agatha Harkness, with a spin-off centered on her being announced soon after in October 2021....

In an interview during the Trent Bridge match, Kohli had opined that it is the responsibility of players to keep Test cricket alive by producing quality cricket. Writing in his column for ESPN Cricinfo, Ian Chappell recommended: With the plethora of limited-overs contests and T20 leagues springing up across the globe, many cricket experts fear for the future of Test cricket. Ian Chappell agreed that new formats are only cluttering the cricketing schedule....

West Ham, coached by former City manager Manuel Pellegrini, frustrated the hosts for almost an hour at Etihad Stadium as the exertions of winning the English League Cup after extra time on Sunday perhaps took their toll. But substitute Bernardo Silva reinvigorated the City attack after coming on as a substitute and the Portugal forward earned the penalty that Aguero tucked away for his league-leading 18th goal of the season....

Badu, who is on loan from Italian side Udinese, featured throughout for the Green Crocodiles at the Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium. Paul Le Guen started the Balck stars anchorman alongside Nigerian international Mikel Agu in front of his back four as they came up against Emmanuel Adebayor and fellow Ghanaian Joseph Attamah. Super Eagles defender Willian Troost-Ekong also started for Bursaspor.

The victory took Nigeria to the top of Group F with eight points after four games with Kenya, almost virtually out of contention, on two points. Nigeria, who were crowned African champions earlier in the year beating outsiders Burkina Faso in the Africa Cup of Nations final, have a two point lead over Malawi, who were disappointingly held 0-0 at home by Namibia on Wednesday. Both sides entered the match weakened as the Nigerians had clocked up 20,000 air miles in a round trip that saw them play Mexico before going back to a training camp in Germany and then arrived in Nairboi via Addis Ababa....

Researchers from Harrisburg University announced in 2020 that they had developed facial recognition software that could predict whether someone would be a criminal....

In case you didn’t know Markram had missed a major chunk of cricket lately after he punched the wall in frustration post a dismal performance against India at Pune in October 2019. Subsequently, he fractured his wrist, meaning that he played a bit-part role in the Mzansi Super League.

Despite her Grammy-winning couplets about missed opportunities and wayward souls, Mann is not one of the desperate characters in her songs. Somewhere between 1999’s “Magnolia” soundtrack and her 2005 concept album, “The Forgotten Arm,” Mann’s cool factor tripled, catapulting her from mere champion of the indie music spirit to the embodiment of modern literate songwriting. Perhaps “Forgotten Arm”’s story about an alcoholic Vietnam vet and his “kind of white trash” girlfriend proved too dramatic for critics and fans alike, or maybe the ensuing hoopla about her finely crafted verse threatened to overshadow the importance of her melodic gifts....

Suarez ’never imagined’ dream Liverpool move In the 72nd minute of the game at Lindenstadion in Hippach, the 20-year-old midfielder lay down on his back inside the Bremen half in clear discomfort.
