BREAKING NEWS Alert!

A Florida woman who brought her golden doodle to a groomer was horrified when the dog inexplicably came back with neon pink ears and Day-Glo green eyebrows. Graziella Puleo of Lake Worth in Palm Beach County took Lola, her golden retriever-poodle mix, to the nearby Amore’s Pet Salon last week to get her fur combed, her teeth brushed and her nails trimmed. Puleo told The Post she took one look at Lola and confronted the salon’s owner, Raquel Adams, who refunded her $150. When Puleo walked the dog later, she was surrounded by a gaggle of young girls who were laughing at her pooch. “I felt more embarrassed than my dog feels,’’ she said. She said she later found injuries on Lola’s “privates,’’ as well as her ear, which were bleeding. Lola became infected and had to go to a vet, she said. Lola’s teeth and nails appeared untouched. Adams did not answer her phone last night. The dog’s unwanted neon makeover was first reported by the Palm Beach Post. Credit: Source link The post F...

“The Price Is Right” is a game show everyone knows. We watched as children with our parents. Our children watched with us. And every show magically culminates in an epic Showcase Showdown. Well, maybe it isn’t so epic, especially in today’s times, because the showcase often is a collection of stuff you wouldn’t want and one thing you do. Maybe the prizes include an oven you don’t need, a Jet Ski you already have, scuba-diving apparel you would never use and … a new car! That big prize in your fantasy football showcase is a running back. There aren’t enough for everyone. Running backs get hurt more often, meaning you need depth. Many share the backfield, meaning there are few marquee options. They are highly coveted in free agency, meaning in-season replacements are difficult to acquire. So landing some in the draft is how win the showcase. The first couple of rounds are easy. You grab the best ones available when there isn’t a blockbuster wide receiver still on the board. We aren’t...

Big payment companies face revolutionary pressures from the development of digital money. Mastercard, which is partnered with Facebook on its Libra cryptocurrency announced in June, is now putting together its own cryptocurrency team. “Do you have the desire to work at the cutting-edge intersection of payments and cryptocurrencies?,” Mastercard asks in a recruitment listing. Those hired will “monitor cryptocurrency ecosystem trends” and “develop new products and solutions.” Mastercard is doing this because “it wants to be known as more than a card company; it wants to be a technology company,” said Ted Rossman, an analyst with CreditCards.com. Another card expert called it “a smart move.” Bill Hardekopf, chief executive of LowCards.com, said Mastercard “sees there’s a lot of activity in this area. Even if it isn’t going to offer its own cryptocurrency, they know it’s important to have people who understand the subject.” Many other big companies are partnered in Facebook’s Libra,...

September is almost upon us, and with that, most fantasy baseball owners will flip their attention to the minor league call-ups we have been expecting to see for some time now. The A’s are likely to bring up Jesus Luzardo, the White Sox have a hot prospect in Luis Robert, and the Astros are finally expected to deliver us Kyle Tucker. But while the rest of your league fights for rookie supremacy, you easily can steal a victory by rooting through the discarded players currently being overlooked. Whether you need speed or power, saves or strikeouts, there is still something for everyone without having to fight your best friend for a kid who could flop just as easily as he could succeed. If it is power you covet, we’re seeing plenty of that on display right now — and no, it isn’t just coming from Cincinnati’s Aristides Aquino. Royals outfielder Jorge Soler continues to rake, and though he is normally a sink-or-swim type of hitter, he has shown tremendous consistency here in the second h...

The world’s most notorious creep met his maker just over a week ago in what has officially been ruled a suicide. But many still doubt that finding. And that’s not the only question surrounding convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Known as a filthy rich bon vivant and money man, he was in reality merely a performer, a fraud of the highest and most heinous type. Epstein managed to creep his way into some of the highest places in the world on the back of a meticulously made-up mosaic of phony accolades by holding himself out as some sort of a mathematical savant — a financier extraordinaire. But the vagaries of his past are the things that make those in the know spot a fraud. Believed to be a “Wall Street guy,” Epstein worked at Bear Stearns for just over four years before essentially being thrown out. And there isn’t any legend to how he made his fortune. When I asked around Wall Street, nobody could point to the great market or trading calls Epstein made — because there most likel...

Former vice president Dick Cheney is set to headline a high-dollar fundraiser for President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign and the Republican Party on Monday. Cheney, who served two terms as George W. Bush’s veep, has reportedly been critical of Trump’s foreign policy behind the scenes. But in 2016, as Trump bulldozed the party establishment on his way to the nomination, Cheney was one of the first top Republicans to come out in favor of his presidential campaign. The former veep will appear with his daughter, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), at a luncheon in Jackson, Wyo., the Washington Post reported Saturday. First Daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, both presidential advisers, will also attend, along with White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney. The invitation designates all three as “special guests,” not as campaign surrogates, to avoid running afoul of a federal law prohibiting administration officials from the campaign trail. In March, Cheney reportedly lit into ...

This interview was short, even by Bill Belichick’s standards. The Patriots coach, who Saturday released a statement on Josh Gordon’s conditional reinstatement into the NFL on Friday, wasn’t about to elaborate any further on the situation during New England’s preseason game against the Tennessee Titans. Take a listen here to the brief halftime interview with Steve Burton of WBTZ TV in Boston: In case you’re curious, this was the full statement from Belichick: “For the past eight months, Josh’s situation has been entirely a league matter. When Josh returns to our program, we will evaluate the entire situation and do what we feel is best for Josh and the team.” Commissioner Roger Goodell notified Gordon that on Sunday, the Patriots receiver can rejoin the team for meetings and conditioning and individual workouts. After that, according to a league statement, “Subject to appropriate progress on clinical care and other arrangements, he will be permitted to participate in team activitie...

Airlines are selling thousands of seats on Boeing’s still-grounded 737 MAX aircraft, betting the planes will be cleared to fly by the time they’re scheduled to take off. American and United are among the airlines that plan to use them for more than 32,600 flights later this year, according to the Sunday Times of London. A British tourist said he felt like a “guinea pig’’ when he learned his American Airlines flight to the Caribbean would be on one of the planes. When he bought his ticket, he was assured another jet would be used, and said the airline refused to refund his fare. The planes were taken out of service after two fatal crashes in a few months. A “travel intelligence specialist’’ told the Times carriers have begun to reintroduce the planes into upcoming schedules.

The movie “Good Boys,” is shattering box office expectations. The film could make a total of $20.8 million on opening weekend, Variety reported. Friday night’s premiere brought in $8.3 million alone in ticket sales. Apparently, experts only expected a yield of $12 to $15 million, says the entertainment source. “Good Boys” is now the first R-rated comedy to come in number one since 2016’s “The Boss.” Variety says that if ticket sale numbers stay on this trend, “Good Boys” could be the best original comedy opening of the year. Produced by comedy kings Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg, the movie stars 12-year-olds despite its mature rating. ”Good Boys” tells the hilarious tale of three middle school boys who get into trouble after they’re invited to their first kissing party. Jacob Tremblay, Keith L. Williams and Brady Noon play the leads. Many will recognize Tremblay from his critically acclaimed role in the 2015 drama “Room,” in which he starred alongside Brie Larson. The flick was ...

A South Dakota woman who recently gave birth to triplets said she didn’t discover she was pregnant until she went to the hospital with what she thought were kidney stones. Dannette Giltz, of Sturgis, gave birth to the siblings Aug. 10. Giltz told KOTA-TV in Rapid City that despite having two other children, she did not know she was 34 weeks pregnant. She says that when she started having pains, she thought it was from kidney stones, which she has had before. Doctors told her she was actually in labor with multiple babies. The triplets, about 4 pounds each, were born within four minutes. Their names are Blaze, Gypsy and Nikki.

At the beginning of training camp, the Giants sported matching T-shirts with the phrase “All Ball” written across the back, alluding to the team’s message of always taking care of the football. Giants coach Pat Shurmur, however, said his team didn’t honor that mantra in their 32-13 victory over the Bears on Friday night. “We did a lot of things well. We improved a lot of the things that were a focal point last week, but some things popped up that we need to correct,” Shurmur said on a conference call Saturday afternoon. “I thought we were loose with the football. We dropped a punt, we had a chance at an interception which we didn’t get, we did cause a couple of fumbles, which was good, but on the flip side, Daniel Jones had two fumbles, Rod Smith had one, we had three drops and then Eli [Manning] had a little exchange problem. “That was not up to our standards. Those are all correctable, every one of those, and those are the things that we will continue to focus on as we go through...

There have been a lot of things the Yankees have accomplished this year that got a lot more attention, and that’s as it should be. They are on a 108-win pace, after all. They are on a collision course with the sport’s other behemoths, the Astros and Dodgers, in the fight to win a 28th championship for the most decorated of all franchises. Still, when the Yankees beat the Indians on Friday night, it was their 82nd win of the season. And that means that for a 27th straight year, the Yankees will post a winning record. Now, as with most things the Yankees do when measured against their vast history, that actually isn’t all that impressive. The 1925 Yankees — hurt by Babe Ruth’s various gastrointestinal (and other) issues, finished 69-85. The 1965 Yankees, who rather famously all got old at the same time, checked in at 77-85. And in the 39 seasons connecting those two years, the Yankees posted winning records in every single one. It seems like winning more games than you lose ought to ...

Authorities in Las Vegas have decided not to bring charges against Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott over a May 19 incident, according to TMZ Sports. Security guard Kyle Johnson had pressed charges against Elliott over an incident at the Electric Daisy Carnival at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Elliott’s camp accused Johnson of extortion in a statement released to the NFL Network after the charges were made. TMZ has aired video footage of the incident in which Elliott is seen leaning against a security guard, who fell to the ground when the metal railing behind him toppled over. Elliott was handcuffed and briefly detained by Las Vegas police around 3 a.m. before being released. The gossip site reports that police and prosecutors decided against bringing charges after reviewing the incident together, citing police documents. The NFL announced on July 3 that Elliott will not be disciplined for the incident. Commissioner Roger Goodell determined there wasn’t a violation of the ...

As you prepare for your fantasy football drafts, you’re going to get a whirlwind of advice: Bulk up on running backs and wide receivers early, be sure to wait on a quarterback, grab yourself an elite tight end within the first few rounds. Before you start trudging through all the tips and helpful hints, you need to decide what type of player you are. Are you conservative and prefer to stick to the basic blueprint the majority of the industry offers, or do you like to shoot for the moon? Do you prefer to play it safe or do you stare high-risk moments in the face and flash your teeth? These questions will be immediately answered by how you feel about drafting Ezekiel Elliott and Melvin Gordon. The running back position got a huge slap in the face last season when Steelers RB Le’Veon Bell sat out the entire year in a contract dispute. That has now paved a similar path for two of the top five players at the position this season. Elliott and Gordon, in their respective fourth and fifth y...
