Giuliani, son of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, formally announced his bid for governor on Tuesday. The 35-year-old had indicated in April that he was planning to enter the 2022 race. However, Giuliani’s odds of becoming the next governor of New York stand at 33/1, Betfair, an online gambling company that operates the world’s largest online betting exchange, has told Newsweek on Tuesday. These odds mean the implied probability of Giuliani winning the election is just 2....

The Colts have been cautious with Luck, who suffered a strained calf this spring. Colts general manager Chris Ballard revealed Tuesday that Luck also has a high-ankle injury. He’s missed all but three practices in training camp. With time running out before the season opener, head coach Frank Reich told reporters Wednesday he wants to decide by next weekend whether Luck or backup Jacoby Brissett will be the opening-game starter....

The Colts quarterback resumed throwing late last week and did so again at Wednesday’s practice, though it has yet to be determined if he will be healthy enough to suit up for Sunday night’s showdown against the Steelers in Pittsburgh.

Yang explained in an October 4 blog post that he changed his voter registration from Democrat to Independent and described the experience as “strangely emotional.” He joined the party in 1995 to vote for Bill Clinton’s re-election at the age of 20. During those years, Yang said he was a “staunch Democrat” and helped organize and fundraise for politicians like John Kerry, Barrack Obama and Bernie Sanders. He voted for Hillary Clinton against Donald Trump in 2016 and when the Republican won, Yang said he was surprised and “took it as a red flag and call to action....

Yang, whose upstart candidacy brought ideas such as a universal basic income to the national stage last year, is not included on the official list of speakers at the DNC event Monday through Thursday next week. Despite there being a crowded field of Democratic hopefuls who announced running in 2019, Yang and Tulsi Gabbard are the only candidates who were still in the race through at least January 2020 and not set to speak next week....

The entrepreneur’s net favorability score—the share of potential Democratic primary voters who view him positively minus those with unfavorable views—jumped seven points after the Los Angeles debate, according to Morning Consult. As a result of the post-debate boost, Yang now has a net favorability score of 34 percent, putting him in fourth place and a point ahead of Pete Buttigieg on 33 percent. Prior to the debate, Morning Consult polling between December 9 and 15 found Buttigieg three points ahead of Yang on favorability, with a 30 percent net positive rating....

Lurking in the Google Play Store since 2017—collectively downloaded more than 470,000 times—the applications posed as ways to increase device performance by cleaning or deleting files, but in reality covertly infected devices to conduct ad fraud, according to Trend Micro. Experts from the cybersecurity company said the malicious apps could even attempt to compromise a user’s Facebook and Google login details. “The cybercriminals behind this campaign can use the affected device to post fake positive reviews in favor of the malicious apps, as well as perform multiple ad fraud techniques by clicking on the ads that pop up [in the software when it is opened],” the team said....

Dalton’s 2.0 QB rating was lower — significantly lower — than the average price per gallon for gas in all 50 states. The closest? South Carolina at $2.69. In fact, Dalton’s QB rating was so low, it dipped below the national average per gallon to a level that hasn’t been seen since mid-2009.

The former world No. 1 hasn’t played a singles match since a first-round loss to Roberto Bautista Agut at the Australian Open in January, with Murray undergoing resurfacing surgery on his right hip shortly afterward. He made his comeback in doubles action alongside Feliciano Lopez at the Queen’s Club Championships — the pair won the competition — and Murray has played in two more tournaments since while also linking up with Serena Williams in the mixed doubles at Wimbledon....

That word can best sum up the unrelenting Chiefs offense, and now Andy Reid can add it to his vocabulary thanks to a somewhat unexpected turn of his Super Bowl celebration. Reid finally captured a Super Bowl win after a decades-long odyssey, and the Chiefs did it in style with a 31-20 comeback victory in Miami. This calls for celebration of the highest order, and Reid did it in signature Reid style....

Lincecum was stellar in his start against the A’s on June 18, his first since last June. But the wheels fell off for the right-hander, culminating Friday when he allowed six runs in 3 1/3 innings against Mariners as his ERA ballooned to 9.16 over nine starts.

According to Bleacher Report, Maddon is expected to be announced as Los Angeles’ manager “a day or two” after his interview Monday. The report cites one source as saying, “It’s a fait accompli, isn’t it?” MLB Network reported Maddon’s interview went “very well.” Not only is Maddon a front-runner to land the role, but Los Angeles is the manager’s first choice, as well. The move would make sense considering Maddon spent a collective 31 years with the organization as a player and a coach, most recently as its bench coach from 2000-05....

So why am I working in a biomedical research lab that uses animals in its experiments? No, I am not an infiltrator from the so-called “animal rights” movement. I love what I do, and I get angry when I hear the terrible things animal-rights groups like People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals say about me and my colleagues and how we supposedly treat laboratory animals. If you buy into the stories of some animal-rightists, I am the last person you would expect to find working at an animal research lab....

There are four motions of your ankle: dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, inversion, and eversion. Several muscles attach near your ankle and help it move. Your ankle also has ligaments that attach one bone to another. These ligaments help prevent excessive motion around your ankle joint. If you sprain your ankle, one or more of these ligaments becomes overstretched, leading to ankle pain and limited functional mobility. Repeated ankle sprains can lead to an unstable ankle joint....

Kendrick, who plays the title role, opened up to People about how she felt when she first received the screenplay for Alice, Darling. She explained that her representative sent the script because he knew of Kendrick’s recent encounters with “emotional abuse and psychological abuse.” The role resonated with her. “It felt really distinct in that I had, frankly, seen a lot of movies about abusive or toxic relationships, and it didn’t really look like what was happening to me,” Kendrick said....

Beatty gave cautious, minimalist quotes in each case and has since gone silent. Privately, sources say, he is making and taking calls in a world of politics he actually knows very well; he’s been close to Democratic campaigns going back to Robert F. Kennedy in 1968. With no full-throated liberals in the race (and none with the star power of a Jesse Jackson), activists say they are telling Beatty to run....
