Powell had been fully vaccinated and was being treated at the at Walter Reed National Medical Center where he passed away. “We have lost a remarkable and loving husband, father, grandfather and a great American,” the family said in the statement. The 84-year-old, who held the distinction of being the first African-American Secretary of State, was being treated for multiple myeloma—a cancer of a type of white blood cell called plasma cells—which compromised his immune system, a spokesperson said, as reported by The New York Times....

Now the calorie numbers are right there next to the price of each item, in the same size type. And some of those numbers are less than appetizing. For example, a large cookie (Triple Chocolate Chunk) at Starbucks can cost you 610 calories—that’s more than the 540 calories in a Big Mac. Starbucks began posting calorie counts in their pastry cases weeks before the health department officials hit the streets to issue citations....

But these tranquil nap times are sometimes punctuated by periods when the pet appears to mimic their masters and start to ‘dream’. This can involve dogs beginning to breathe irregularly, waving their legs in the air and occasionally emitting an energetic growl all while supposedly fast asleep. But what does this behavior mean and does it suggest pups really do dream? If so, what do dogs dream about? Newsweek asked the experts....

Now that Pacquiao is aligned with the most reclusive person in the sport, we break down what it all means in the grand scheme of things.

Minnesota reached this game with its improbable wild-card win in New Orleans, fueled by the dominance of running back Dalvin Cook and the clutch play of quarterback Kirk Cousins. If the Vikings were to upset the 49ers as seven-point road underdogs in the divisional playoffs, and if the Titans were to do the same to the Ravens on Saturday night, Minnesota and Tennessee would become the the first pair of No....

Although the Crimson Tide escaped the Gators with a close 52-46 win before making their run at another national title, Florida coach Dan Mullen is taking a different approach to match Alabama’s electric offense this season. Since losing Heisman Trophy finalist Kyle Trask to the NFL, along with top receivers Kyle Pitts and Kadarius Toney, Mullen is faced with the challenge of making weapons out of starting quarterback Emory Jones and freshman backup Anthony Richardson....

Neither the Black Knights (5-6) nor Midshipmen (4-7) are eligible to play in the postseason this year. (Army’s record includes wins vs. two FCS opponents; only one can be counted toward bowl eligibility.) Saturday’s game will be the final one of the season for both service academies and the final competition for a handful of future military officers whose college football careers will end. That gives this game even greater importance....

As the Cowboys prepare for the matchup at 11-1, the Bears will fight for a playoff spot at 10-2. Baylor dropped one spot in the College Football Playoff rankings this week since they earned a 27-24 victory against unranked Texas Tech on Nov. 27. Baylor’s defense allowed 262 passing yards and failed to make a fourth-down stop during their final regular-season game. However, they recovered two fumbles and allowed freshman quarterback Blake Shapen to lead the Bears’ offense for his first start....

The Bears and Texans both came into the season in the midst of a rebuild, with new head coaches entering the fray to try and turn around their fortunes. After both teams showed promising signs in Week 1, they lost their Week 2 matchups to reset expectations for the year. For Chicago, a rainy season-opening win over the 49ers sparked excitement for the season ahead. A debut victory for head coach Matt Eberflus over a San Francisco team expected to make a playoff run was an impressive way to start the campaign....

The Black and Yellows won the reverse fixture 3-0 at Signal Iduna Park and should be favored in this matchup, but don’t count out Wolfsburg, whose defense could make this a difficult game. Led by American center back John Brooks, it runs a tight ship at the back, allowing the third-fewest goals (31) in the league this season. There’s a lot at stake for both teams. While Dortmund is fighting to catch Bayern Munich at the top of the table, Wolfsburg is battling for sixth place to claim the last Europa League qualification spot....

The Pistons finally broke their losing streak as they bested the Celtics 96-93 on New Year’s Day. Detroit came out with conviction and hammered the Celtics, leading by 21 points at one stage in the game. Jerami Grant led the team on the offensive end with 24 points, and Mason Plumlee was a beast on the boards with 17 rebounds. The Pistons will face an uphill battle as the Celtics will be eager to return the favor and draw their season series 1-1....

On the other side, will we get the Chargers who put up 41 on the Steelers? Or the team that was stymied by the Broncos last week to drop to 6-5, a game out of the AFC West behind the Chiefs? While Justin Herbert’s arm talent is beyond reproach, he had another multi-interception game last week, his third of the season. While he’s thrown for 300+ yards six times this season (the Chargers are 4-2 in those games), he’s proven to be prone to mistakes....

The Milwaukee Bucks might have their work cut out, as there is a possibility that the Detroit Pistons may not have rookie Killian Hayes available for this game. The Pistons, who have had a rough start to their NBA campaign, will look to grab only the second win of their season. Detroit Pistons: Team news The Detroit Pistons have had an injury-plagued campaign so far; rookie Killian Hayes is the latest casualty and will be out for an unknown time due to a labral tear in his right hip....

MORE: Dolphins-Bills live updates The Dolphins leave behind sunny South Beach for snowy Orchard Park on Saturday night, as Mike McDaniel’s squad continues their playoff push vs. the AFC East-leading Bills. It’s been a rough few weeks for the Dolphins and Tua Tagovailoa: Miami is on a two-game skid, and their high-powered offense has been held to 17 points per game in their last two appearances.

The Lions and Eagles make for a pair of the NFL’s most interesting squads for the 2022 season. The Eagles outperformed expectations in 2022, while the Lions were just about in line with what people were expecting. This year could prove to be more of the same, just with some heightened expectations. Nick Sirianni earned praise for his ability to squeeze a very good season out of passer Jalen Hurts, and now with an added offensive weapon in A....

For the final time in the 2021 Formula 1 season, sprint qualifying is taking place this weekend. For the top two drivers in the Formula 1 driver’s championship table, that means a lot.

Kambosos made his pro debut in 2013 at the age of 19. An Australian, WBA-PABA, and WBA Oceania lightweight champion, Kambosos beat Mickey Bey and Lee Selby in ‘19 and ‘20. After multiple postponements due to COVID-19 and contract disputes, Kambosos faced off against Teofimo Lopez in November ‘21 for the WBA, IBF, WBO, and The Ring lightweight titles. Kambosos dominated against the young champion, beating him via split decision....

Torino are currently in 18th place in the Serie A table and are dangerously close to the bottom of the table. The away side is in desperate need of a string of positive results and will look to move out of the relegation zone this month. Juventus, however, will pose a stern test to Torino this weekend. Juventus managed to quell some of its fans’ woes with a 3-0 victory against Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League but will need to improve in the Serie A....

Despite the win, the Cavs have not been the same of late without guards Collin Sexton and Darius Garland. They lost 100-90 in their game versus the Milwaukee Bucks on the weekend. On the other hand, the Grizzlies are coming off a win against the Brooklyn Nets last Friday. They withstood a deluge from Caris LeVert, who had 43 points for the game. The Grizzlies will hope to carry the momentum of that win to this game....

Since joining the Spartans in 2020, Tucker has led Michigan State to two straight wins over Harbaugh’s Wolverines, including Michigan’s only loss last season en route to a playoff berth. While making college football’s biggest tournament undoubtedly assuages a Halloween loss, there’s no question the thought of beating Michigan State and Ohio State in the same season is tantalizing to the Wolverines. Michigan is coming off by far its most impressive win so far this year, a 41-17 drubbing of Penn State at the Big House....
