Cats by nature adore investigating anything aromatic, meaning they will nudge against a bouquet, give it a sniff, and maybe nibble some to see if they taste as good as they smell. So, are roses toxic to cats and why is your kitty so drawn to them?...

Unfortunately, Friday won’t be another chapter in their rivalry. Even without Curry, Friday’s matchup between Golden State and Portland should be a fun one. The Warriors got off to a slow start after Curry suffered his shoulder injury, but they’ve won three straight games. They’re now only one game behind the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference standings. Will Golden State’s streak continue? Or will Lillard cool off one of the hottest teams in the NBA?...
In The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer oncologist Siddhartha Mukherjee describes the Greeks preoccupation with fluid mechanics, spurred by a “revolution” in irrigation and “culminating with Archaemedes discovering his eponymous laws in his bathtub.” “This preoccupation with hydraulics also flowed into Greek medicine and pathology. To explain illness—all illness—Hippocrates fashioned an elaborate doctrine based on fluids and volumes, which he freely applied to pneumonia, boils, dysentery, and hemorrhoids,” Mukherjee writes....
THE NEW BLUE SUPREMES? If you want to know what makes the Supreme Court really tick, especially during case-decision season, there’s no better person to turn to than David A. Kaplan. David formerly covered the high court for Newsweek—and is the author of the national best seller, The Most Dangerous Branch: Inside the Supreme Court in the Age of Trump. A few days before the court was expected to rule on abortion rights, I asked David for his take on conservative judges being perceived as traitors to the cause—Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Neil Gorsuch—after two recent controversial decisions....

The House of Worth was a French house of high fashion that specialized in haute couture. The house was founded by designer Charles Frederick Worth in 1858. His designs dominated Parisian fashion during the second half of the 19th century, and inspired the (beautifully) sketched meme. As stylish as these six women are, they all have their own baggage and quirks. Twitter users flocked to social media and considered which of the ladies of the House of Worth they were most like during lockdown....
That lack of window dressing, what you might call substance, is exactly what’s making Lucky controversial. A half-million copies of the test issue hit newsstands last month and, if Conde Nast sells enough, it probably will launch in the fall. That may thrill shoppers, but for some in the magazine business, Lucky is the most egregious example yet of a trend in which magazines are becoming glorified catalogs. “I think it’s a sad commentary on magazines,” says media consultant Martin Walker....
And at the back of the positive feat, the 29-year-old midfielder insists nothing is given yet as they set sights on compounding the woes of the Super Eagles, whose campaign took off in an underwhelming manner. “Now we need to focus on Nigeria”, Gunnarsson told media. “We can’t dwell on that game now, if we don’t focus on Nigeria and don’t get a result there, then that point is no use for anyone....
Brazil had Pele, Portugal have Cristiano Ronaldo, but no other country can name two men that dominated their eras like Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona. Even without Messi or Maradona, Argentina have always possessed a dangerous goal threat, from the top scorer at the 1930 World Cup, Guillermo Stabile, to the present day. But which of Argentina’s talented finishers scored the most goals? And who has scored the most on the biggest stage at the World Cup?...

The Dolphins gave Arian Foster a contract after his workout Monday, as Foster works his way back from a torn Achilles suffered against, yup, Miami in Week 7 of last season. The ‘Fins will hope to get comparable production out of Foster to what they got from Reggie Bush - the similarly fragile running back who signed with the Dolphins in 2011, also after a season cut short by a right leg injury....
He won a race this year. At Daytona. He drives for Richard Petty. He made the Chase. MORE: Drivers curious about Stewart grand jury case | N.H. picks | Who should Richard Petty hire as new driver? But forgive them if they don’t know how to pronounce his name.

The order marks the latest action President Joe Biden’s administration to oppose Republican governors who are seeking to prevent mask mandates or trying to use federal funding to support their political agendas rather than pandemic recovery.

The Republican governor funneled $163 million into one grant program that was available only to schools without mask requirements....
Republican candidate Jerry Sheridan hosted the demonstration to a crowd of around 40 at his home on Sunday, according to a report from The Arizona Republic. Despite the name, “skunk water” does not contain liquid from any smelly animals, but instead is made to produce an unpleasant odor from ingredients including yeast and baking soda. Four volunteers wearing shower caps and goggles performed their best imitations of disobedient protesters while standing in front of Sheridan’s horse stables, reportedly shouting things like “we have a right to protest” and “we aren’t going anywhere....

Alexis Sanchez, 30, who had served in Afghanistan, was killed on October 27—days before he had planned to surprise his 2-year-old son by dressing up as Spiderman for Halloween, his ex-wife Alexis Tueller told The Gazette.
