COVID-19 cases in Florida have increased dramatically in recent days, but Orange Bowl organizers said the stadium will be at full capacity with no mask mandates in place and tailgating permitted in the parking lots.

The ape, named Paguh by the team that rescued him, was found with 24 air rifle pellets in his body. Conservationists working for the Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA) discovered the injured orangutan last week, during a patrol in Gampong Teungoh, a village in Aceh province, near the tip of the island. Paguh is thought to be around 25 years old. “This orangutan was found on the local resident plantation walking on the ground,” reads a statement from the Orangutan Information Centre (OIC) on November 22, 2019, published on Facebook....

The Klamath County Sheriff’s Office said that it would cite or even arrest people who defied orders to “go now” in areas immediately threatened by the fires, the Associated Press reported.

KGW reported that Hayes presented the kids with the bus, nicknamed the Grandfather Express, a few days before Christmas. The family goes all out every holiday season, according to Hayes, but this year the patriarch wanted to help the kids with an issue they’d been dealing with since starting school. “I thought, gee whiz, maybe there’s some way that I can give them a memory that will last all their life,” he told the station....

Linebacker Noah Sewell bowed at midfield. Puddles the mascot waved goodbye to the 100,482 fans in attendance. Oregon players made a mad dash for the end zone where a smattering of neon green jerseys were waiting. No. 12 Oregon upset No. 3 Ohio State 35-28 at Ohio Stadium on Saturday, and the Ducks revelled in the release. An hour later, quarterback Anthony Brown tried to find the words.

While it sounds innocent enough, you can watch for yourself and decide. Brown was one of several football players throwing snowballs at cars and drivers as snow covered the Oregon campus late last week. (He's also seen here dumping snow on a fellow student.) Ironically, Oregon's athletic department still has this video of fun in the snow up. Brown has 10 catches for 123 yards this season. The Ducks face Texas in the Valero Alamo Bowl....

Schoop sustained the injury after tripping over Red Sox first baseman Mike Napoli on Friday. But the rehabilitation period shouldn’t be too long. Ryan Flaherty will take over at second base. So far this season, Schoop is batting .259/.310/.630 with three home runs and seven RBIs. Infielder Jimmy Paredes has been activated from the DL in Schoop’s place. Paredes had an impressive spring hitting .364/.368/.636 with seven doubles, a triple, two homers and 12 RBIs....

In the first inning, the 30-year-old pitcher made a no-look snag on a Chris Coghlan comeback shot that is arguably one of the best plays of the season.

Bob Bradley fired from Swansea job Rawlins brought professional soccer to Orlando in 2010 when he moved the Austin Aztex to Florida. He oversaw the club’s move from USL to MLS in 2015 and helped the team secure a new downtown stadium, which will open in 2017. “The opening of the stadium in March is the final piece in the jigsaw puzzle. With the stadium complete I have accomplished all that I promised the community of Central Florida when I arrived in Orlando in 2010," Rawlins said in a club release....

The forward started and played 61 minutes in Canada’s 2-1 win over Curacao on Tuesday in Montreal....

In reality, hardware removal is probably not the most difficult surgery—complex spine surgery, correction of congenital deformities, reconstruction of damaged joints—are all difficult, time-consuming surgical procedures. However, hardware removal surgery often lulls the unsuspecting surgeon, and patient, into thinking the surgery will be quick and easy. While it may turn out to be simple, hardware removal surgery has the propensity to be much more challenging than anticipated. Why Remove Hardware?...

Osorio has to assemble a squad not only for June’s Confederations Cup but also needs to put together an entirely different team for July’s Gold Cup, with most clubs unlikely to release players for both tournaments. But despite the strain on players, Osorio said that Mexico’s pool can produce the 46 players that will be necessary to make up two completely different squads. “Without a doubt we’re going to have two competitive teams for the tournaments this year,” Osorio said Wednesday after a 1-0 friendly victory over Iceland....

In the final seconds, with the goaltender pulled and Toronto Maple Leafs’ forward Auston Matthews seeking a hat-trick on opening night, Brannstrom showed off his no-quit attitude, hustling back to prevent Matthews from accomplishing his feat. Unfortunately for Brannstrom, Matthews’ feat wasn’t the issue, but rather his feet were. With Matthews tied up, the Toronto forward went to the ice with his skates high in the air, clipping the defenseman in the face....

In the scanner, the participants were shown a grey circle 30 times in a row. Next, they were presented with a visual stimulus, a grey cross, of different lengths, or auditory stimulus of white nose of a fixed length, and were asked how long they lasted....

All this is occurring amid our recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and burdensome increases in the costs of gas and food. At a time when we can ill afford it, 200,000 people are crossing the border monthly disappearing into our country, while the government does all it can to welcome even more immigrants through legal means. Our legislators seem committed to betting on foreign workers rather than developing a talent pipeline of native-born Americans....
