news. Five people have been sickened by a parasite
in New Hampshire, with health officials investigating
whether drinking natural spring water is the
cause. The New Hampshire Department of Health
and Human Services reported five cases of Giardia
identified in late August. Four of the affected
individuals drank from a spring on Old Franconia
Road in Bethlehem, while investigators are still
determining the source for the fifth case. Officials
urge anyone who drank from the spring to be alert
for symptoms such as diarrhea, stomach cramps,
nausea, gas, and dehydration. The property owner
has proactively shut off the water, as untreated
water from natural sources can harbor harmful
germs. Now on to sports. The rematch of last
season's ASC divisional round game between the
Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills did not disappoint
last night on Sunday Night Football, as quarterback
Josh Allen led the Bills to overcome a fourth
-quarter 15 -point deficit and win 41 -40. The
game shifted in Buffalo's favor when Ravens running
back Derrick Henry fumbled on Baltimore's 38
-yard line with three minutes and 10 seconds
left. allowing Buffalo to recover. Allen completed
a four -play drive, culminating in a touchdown
run with one minute and 58 seconds remaining.
The Ravens failed to score on their next possession,
leading to a game -winning 32 -yard field goal
by veteran kicker Matt Prater. Allen finished
the game with 394 passing yards and two touchdowns.
while Lamar Jackson had two touchdowns and 70
rushing yards. In local sports. Yesterday afternoon
at Chase Field in Phoenix, the Red Sox beat the
Deepaks 7 -4. Whitlock earned the win with six
innings, three strikeouts, and one earned run
allowed. Sogard delivered a late two -run double
to break the tie in the ninth. Chapman earned
his 29th. save with four strikeouts in a scoreless
inning. The Sox tallied eight hits and made zero
errors while leaving five runners on base. The
Red Sox record improved to 79 -65. Tonight, the
Red Sox face the Athletics at Sutter Health Park
in Sacramento for Game 1 of a three -game series.
Garrett Crochet at 14 -5 with a 2 .67 earned
run average. We'll catch against Luis Morales,
3 -0 with a 1 .5. First pitch is at 10 .05 under
clear skies. Moving on to the Pats, or should
we? For a Patriots team expecting a big turnaround,
this loss felt like more of the same. Patriots
coach Mike Vrabel removed his headset as the
Raiders got into victory formation. On his first
day of the job, he set a reasonable bar for his
tenure, aiming to be good enough to take advantage
of bad football from opponents. But the debut
of the Vrabel era was underwhelming, as a mediocre
Raiders team defeated the Patriots 20 -13. The
hard truth is that these Patriots did not look
all that different from previous years. Second
-year quarterback Drake May struggled with inconsistency.
and the offense averaged only 4 .9 yards per
play. Drake may finish the game 30 for 46, with
287 yards passing, a touchdown, and an interception.
Next week, the Pats head down to Miami to see
if they can final it in top news. Influencers
have described propranolol as a magic pill that
eases nervous jitters in various settings, with
prescriptions rising, especially among young
women. As Erica Fisher prepares for her wedding,
she considers taking a beta blocker. She notes
that many have had a good experience with the
medication. Propranolol, approved by the Food
and Drug Administration in 1967, is now the fastest
-growing pill for stressful situations, increasing
prescriptions by 28 % since 2020. It reduces
physical anxiety symptoms, although it is not
FDA approved for that purpose. While generally
non -addictive, propranolol carries risks, including
fainting from low blood pressure. In business
news, oil tycoons are betting big on Donald Trump
and it is paying off. The administration is opening
land to drilling, rolling back environmental
restrictions, and hobbling renewable energy,
despite a drop in crude prices. Millionaire Harold
Hamm celebrated Trump's election, having donated
tens of millions of dollars, believing in a pro
-fossil fuel agenda. The administration is approving
new gas export terminals and proposing to remove
environmental regulations. While hotel prices
hover near $62 a barrel, executives see the turbulence
as a price worth paying for their agenda. Environmentalists
are alarmed, claiming these moves will fuel climate
change and increase energy costs for consumers.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is unchanged over
the weekend at just over $111 ,000. Ethereum
is down 1 % to just over $4 ,300. And XRP is
up 3 % to $2 .88. Moving on to a more local vibe.

Let's talk tech. Google is warning its 2 .5 billion
Gmail users to enhance their security. While
there are claims that users should change their
passwords due to a breach, this is only partly
accurate. The actual advice is to stop using
passwords entirely. The breach originated from
Salesforce, where hackers obtained business -related
Gmail data, but no credentials were stolen. Phishing
and impersonation attacks have surged, with Google
noting that these tactics account for roughly
37 % of successful account takeovers. Users are
advised to switch to passkeys and enable two
-factor authentication for better security. In
a world of constant breaches, vigilance remains
crucial. And in entertainment news, get ready.

alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the
day. And today... Our quote comes from the American
