The latest Associated Press Top 25 poll confirmed LSU and Alabama as the first and second-ranked team in the nation on Sunday, even though neither took the field in Week 10. Saturday afternoon’s matchup in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, will be the first time the two top teams in the AP Poll meet in the regular season since 2011, when LSU was No. 1 and Alabama was No. 2. Both teams are expected to occupy the first two spots in the College Football Playoff rankings, when the CFP Committee publishes its first ranking on Tuesday, November 6...

The defending champions extended their winning run to 20 games in Week 5 with a 21-20 road victory against North Carolina, but that wasn’t enough to retain top spot in the Associated Press Top-25 poll. The Tigers dropped to No. 2 behind Alabama for the first time this season, fueling debates over whether they deserved the No. 1 spot to begin with. Clemson’s relatively weak schedule—No. 19 Wake Forest is the only ranked opponent left for the defending champions—could make its quest to reclaim top spot complicated, but Tigers coach Dabo Swinney insisted he wasn’t too concerned by external pressure....

The girl was sent to work as a maid for her aunt and her husband, Joseph Adoyi, last year, according to a Foundation for Investigative Journalism (FIJ) Nigeria report.

Arsenal 10/3 to beat Chelsea A vast number of those travelling fans found their way into home sections of the stadium, with the confusion causing kick-off to be delayed by an hour.

A legislative panel on Monday held a hearing on the “Vote Without Fear Act,” a bill sponsored by Democratic legislators who say it’s needed to allow voters to safely cast their ballots in response to what they say is the daunting and increased presence of gun-toting observers.

Kelly can be with the team during the Colts’ offseason workouts and through the preseason, but he can’t participate with the team for the first two weeks of the regular season, ProFootballTalk notes. NFL Network notes Kelly’s suspension is connected to an incident that happened while he was with the Broncos. He was arrested in October on trespassing charges for walking into a couple’s home after 1 a.m. local time, sitting on their couch and “mumbling incoherently....

Brissett has been the Colts’ starter this year after Andrew Luck’s unexpected retirement on the eve of the season, leading the team to second in the AFC South with a 5-3 record. But Indianapolis will have to cope without Brissett against the lowly Dolphins, who claimed their first win of the campaign against the New York Jets last time out. The 26-year-old, who has 14 touchdowns to just three interceptions and 1,649 yards passing for the season, injured his knee in last week’s defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers....

Not that he’s all that bad. Remember, it was just seven months ago that Woods began his year not knowing how his game would respond to four back surgeries that limited him to 19 starts on the PGA Tour and kept him out of the FedEx Cup playoffs since 2013. Not only did he make it to the PGA Tour’s version of a postseason, he starts The Northern Trust at No....

Did he hesitate? Did he wilt under the weight of hundreds of millions of eyes trained on TV screens around the world? Mbappe doesn’t do doubt. With a touch as delicate as anything seen at the Bolshoi, he simply nudged the ball forward, sizing up the goal. The natural shot with his right foot from the edge of Croatia’s box would have been to aim right. Too easy. Mbappe doesn’t do easy....

Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of service people have developed unexplained ailments since returning from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia two years ago. The symptoms–skin rashes, memory loss, along with chronic fevers, aches and fatigue–have grown so familiar they’re now referred to as gulf war syndrome. The military and the Veterans Affairs Department (VA) originally dismissed the soldiers’ complaints, suggesting they’re psychological at root. But the problem is now getting serious attention. A subcommittee of the House Veterans Affairs Committee held an emotional hearing on gulf war syndrome this month....

A COPD trigger is anything that causes you to have a flare-up of symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, or fatigue. While we often think of triggers as particles we breathe in, they may also include changes in temperature and environment. Since COPD symptoms can vary by type, frequency, and severity, you need to identify the triggers that affect you as an individual. By doing so, you can avoid exacerbations, retain lung function, and enjoy a better quality of life irrespective of the stage of your disease....

Stage IV is considered the most severe form of COPD and is characterized by severe shortness of breath (dyspnea). At this stage, your medications won’t work as well as they used to, simple tasks will leave you breathless, and you will have an increased risk of lung infection and respiratory failure. Because COPD is irreversible, this stage of the disease is often referred to as “end stage COPD.“ This doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to treat the condition....
