The 21-year-old will not join his teammates as they depart for Europe to play their final preseason game in Switzerland on Sept. 30 and the Flyers’ season opener against the Blackhawks in Prague on Oct. 4. Patrick has been sidelined all training camp with what was originally called an “upper-body injury,” though he has skated on his own throughout the preseason. The Flyers have reportedly been aware of the issue since the early summer and Patrick will take medication to try to mitigate the condition....

MORE: Longest postseason streaks in sports | Stanley Cup playoff schedule Before the current NHL season, Snider told the Philadelphia Inquirer his cancer had returned, but he did not want his condition publicized. Instead, he wanted the focus to remain on the Flyers. Snider was an executive with the Philadelphia Eagles when he and Jerry Wolman, the owner of the NFL franchise, worked to bring an NHL expansion team to Philly for the 1967-68 season....

“We do not have a full count yet,” said Ferndale City Spokesman Riley Sweeney in an interview with the Herald, “although I’ve found two this morning.” Patriot Front’s involvement was not confirmed by Sweeney. “I agree that it seems more than circumstantial,” Sweeney said, “but I don’t want to speculate about an ongoing investigation.” Patriot Front propaganda was first discovered in Ferndale in July on utility poles after a parade which featured a float flying a Confederate flag....

Kansas City’s World Series formula wasn’t surprising. The Royals bullpen pitched 539⅓ innings last season, the most by any team to make the postseason. Collectively, Royals relievers allowed a measly .211 batting average against, leading to a 2.72 bullpen ERA.

Much of the effort is focusing on completing big construction projects. Workers are doing 16-hour shifts to build the city’s largest hotel, the Hilton Americas-Houston; the transit authority reported that it will be “challenging” to get all the cars it needs for a light-rail line that will go from downtown to Reliant Stadium; much of the road construction on 120 city blocks should have been done in June. (All projects will be completed, say city officials....

FOOTWEAR: THE SOLE OF SEXINESS NO ONE EVER CALLED CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN’S STILETTOS SENSIBLE BY DANA THOMAS Jennifer Lopez drapes languidly across the December cover of Harper’s Bazaar tacked to the bulletin board in Christian Louboutin’s Paris headquarters, kicking up her scarlet-soled silver strap sandals. “She looks so great there, doesn’t she?” asks the 39-year-old French shoe designer. “She’s by far the best.” The feeling is mutual. Louboutin’s towering creations, Lopez says, are her “biggest weakness....

The deal, facilitated by President Donald Trump’s administration, has been a long time coming, and could be the first domino to fall in Gulf states normalizing ties with historic enemy Israel. A new generation of leaders in the Gulf could help redefine Israel’s role in the region, though at the cost of any lingering hope of Palestinian statehood. The UAE and its de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed, were the first to take the Israel leap, though states like Bahrain and Oman could soon follow suit....

White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Wednesday confirmed Biden would stick to the campaign promise he made in February 2020 before the South Carolina primary. Republican politicians and conservative commentators flooded Twitter with reactions suggesting Biden is more interested in shoring up his political base than finding the best qualified candidate. Republican senators who will vote on the nominee have already raised alarms about Biden’s unnamed pick. Senator Rick Scott, a Florida Republican heading the party’s efforts to retake the Senate, said in a tweet that Democrats will be forced to “walk the plank in support of a radical liberal with extremist views....

THOMAS: What’s your latest project? STARCK: My new project is to do projects, not products. I am trying to free myself from the cycle of producing material goods and respond to market demands differently. How so? By saying “no.” We’ve always been strict, but now we are even more so. We have never worked for arms companies, spirits, tobacco, games, religion, and now for oil companies–with all the wars over oil–and companies that launder money....

Coleman is a tinkerer with no real job and, from the look of his scrawny frame, no real nutritional sense, either. He is one of about 30 Austin-area technophiles and artists who put together robots for fun, calling themselves the Robot Group. Other such groups dot the country: hobbyists from Boston to Palo Alto gather to show off their home-brewed creations and collaborate. They try to push the technical envelope, to spread their love of science, and maybe even cobble together the next Apple Computer in their garage....

The cars with the issue may have unusual handling or a misaligned rear wheel because of the fractured rear toe link, which can reduce steering control and increase the risk of a crash, the Associated Press reported. The recalled vehicles include Explorers manufactured between 2013 and 2017, approximately 676,152 of which are in North America. The company said it had received reports of six injuries in relation to the fracture, the Associated Press reported....

Forensic nursing was launched as a specialty in the 1970s, when it became clear that hospital emergency rooms didn’t have the resources to deliver proper treatment to rape victims. Violated women were assigned low priority because medical staff didn’t regard their cases as urgent when compared with, say, a heart-attack victim—and physicians weren’t enthusiastic about caring for patients for whom they were probably going to have to testify in court....

Matos toned down his rhetoric last week. As part of a clemency deal offered by President Clinton, Matos and 11 other members of the radical Puerto Rican independence group, the Armed Forces of National Liberation (FALN), signed statements renouncing violence. At the weekend, all but one of the inmates were free. But questions about why Clinton released them–over the objections of top law-enforcement officials–are still growing. An overwhelming majority of Congress denounced the deal and scheduled hearings this week....

Jeff Garcia went after Kimes, following comments she made on ESPN’s “First Take” about Garoppolo, in an Instagram comment that has since spread to Twitter. What did Kimes say? It was nothing extreme. She simply pointed out that though the 49ers have upset both the Cowboys and the Packers during the postseason, the victories are coming in spite of Garoppolo. The fact that there are people out there given a platform to talk about something that they have never done is hilarious and that’s how you have to look at her, she’s a joke!...

Former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay isn’t among Miller-Keyes’ fans. Lindsay, who starred on The Bachelorette in 2017, aired her feelings about Miller-Keyes on PeopleTV’s Reality Check Monday. They weren’t all positive. The former Bachelorette commented on Miller-Keyes’ back-and-forth between Connor Saeli and Dean Unglert. Throughout the Bachelor In Paradise season, Miller-Keyes seemed swept up in a relationship with Unglert. When Saeli walked onto the beach, though, she changed her tune. Miller-Keyes claimed she’d wanted to meet Saeli on the show....

The 61-year-old declined to speak on Baylor’s ongoing sex scandal — in which victims allege football players committed 52 rapes over a four-year period while Briles was coach — but did reflect on his future in coaching. MORE: Court filings show Briles, tried to hide players’ wrongdoings According to AL.com, Briles told reporters at the clinic he wanted to coach for 10 more years, at any level, saying he wants to “be able to do what I’ve done all my life again, which is coach football and be around young people and help young people....

“C’mon, Texas! As a former resident of Austin & a lifelong Longhorn, I know that Texans have a well-deserved reputation for calling out BS, especially when shoveled by a snake oil salesman like Donald Trump,” Brennan wrote. “Send him packing. Vote Biden.” Brennan has openly criticized Trump in the past. In September, the former CIA director called Trump an “absolute abomination” following the release of Bob Woodward’s book on the current administration titled “Rage” and interview tapes showed the president stating that the coronavirus was “more deadly” than the flu....
