Americans feel gloomy, almost desperate, about the future of the economy, and there is no one better able to express-or play to-those fears than Cuomo. Anguished in private, Cuomo at the podium speaks with the urgency of anxious times. “I have not seen an economy as menacing as this one,” he said last week. “Yet Washington sits there and says, ‘Everything is great. We won the war.’ I don’t think that the country understands how bad the economy is....
After finding a willing donor–sometimes a friend or family member of the patient, sometimes a stranger who is paid for her help–doctors prepare both women for the transfer. The donor receives hormonal treatments to increase the number of eggs produced during her menstrual cycle. The recipient gets a different hormone regimen to prepare her womb for pregnancy. When the donor starts to ovulate, the doctors insert a needle through her vaginal wall to extract eggs from her ovaries....
A fall of successful counteroffensives—a surprise and lightning drive through Kharkiv Oblast followed by a long-awaited, more gradual liberation of all the land west of the Dnieper river including the city of Kherson—have given way to muddy and relatively static trench warfare along much of the front.

O’Leary is one of the Seminoles’ favorite targets in the passing game. He had 47 catches for 614 yards and six TDs. The senior tight end had four TDs in Florida State’s last three games. That’s a blow for Jameis Winston and the Seminoles, for sure. In an on-field interview just before kickoff, FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said that O’Leary was good to go.
The scene left millions of Peruvians in stitches. As of the weekend there was still no sign of the quarry, the sacked intelligence chief Vladimiro Montesinos, 56, once the president’s closest counselor. And, tellingly, Montesinos’s strongest allies remained in control of the Army. That amused few Peruvians. Observers remarked that the president was either unwilling or unable to touch Montesinos and his men–impotent or afraid. “He is trying to show people he’s still in charge,” says magazine columnist Fernando Rospigliosi, “but people don’t believe him anymore… Fujimori is losing his grip....

Another tale of holiday hooliganism in the Algarve? Not quite. The disputants in this particular incident were all under 5. The kid-size truck is a permanent fixture at the entrance to Porto Pirata, a lavish playground complete with swimming pool, auto racetrack, basketball court, miniature-golf course, climbing frames and a Lilliputian restaurant filled with checked tablecloths and tiny picnic tables. The truck-inspired conflict was quickly and calmly resolved by a squad of professional child minders....
Their owner Kayleigh Ann Amison, a 27-year-old paramedic from Staffordshire, England, captioned the video: “Never a dull moment. I don’t know what’s funnier? Ruby with the zoomies or Richmond who’s just sitting there getting jumped on repeatedly without even trying to move. I love them so much.” One user commented: “That was an unprovoked attack”. Some dog owners might be slightly concerned to see their pets frantically running around the room, only to collapse in a heap, however, it’s nothing to be worried about....
The Blancos were given a stoppage-time penalty that has divided football fans over whether it was deserved, which Cristiano Ronaldo scored following Gianluigi Buffon’s red card for protesting the decision.

“Chris and Roberta Laundrie do not know where Brian is,” Laundrie’s parents said in a Monday statement issued through their lawyer Steven P. Bertolino. “They are concerned about Brian and hope the FBI can locate him.” “The speculation by the public and some in the press that the parents assisted Brian in leaving the family home or in avoiding arrest on a warrant that was issued after Brian had already been missing for several days is just wrong,” the statement continued, Fox News reported....
