4+ min ago (447+ words) When a friend offered me two spare tickets to the sold-out Oasis concert, I jumped at the chance. Then I realized I'd have to choose which of my twin sons to take. To make it fair, I sent both the same message: "Who wants to see Oasis with me? I can only take one of you." Of course, Charlie replied instantly, as they're his favorite band. We had a year until the concert, and Charlie spent it playing Oasis constantly. Most nights, I'd hear him belting out Oasis songs from the shower. I didn't anticipate the concert to be one of my most memorable experiences. Our general admission tickets meant arriving early to get a good position close to the stage. We showed up at 5:30 p.m. for the 8:45 show, both wearing the Oasis jerseys I'd bought the day before. People had…...

Years after Jets kicker Nick Folk was nicknamed that by Ryan when he was the Jets head coach and Folk was in his first stint with the team, Folk rammed a low, driving 56-yard game-winning field goal on the last play of the game to deliver the Jets a stirring 27-24 victory at MetLife Stadium. The Falcons had taken a 24-17 lead on a 9-yard scoring pass from Kirk Cousins to former Giants receiver David Sills V with 8:46 remaining in the game. On the play, Jets cornerback Ja'Sir Taylor was completely deked by Sills, who'd caught the ball in the right flat. For Sills, who spent 2021-22 with the Giants, he scored his first NFL touchdown last week and Sunday was his second. The Jets tied the game at 24-24 with 1:53 remaining in the fourth…...

10+ min ago (939+ words) Baya Bouzar, an actress and singer known as Biyouna whose guttural voice, sharp tongue and fierce independence " onscreen and off " incarnated, for generations of Algerians, their struggles in a country torn by civil war and repression, died on Tuesday at a hospital in Algiers. She was 73. Her death from lung cancer was announced by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune of Algeria, who said she "left behind a legacy of sincerity and spontaneity in acting and successful cinematic works, earning her widespread appreciation." Official recognition came to her from the seat of Algeria's autocratic power, but there were also hundreds of fans at her funeral. Ms. Bouzar, with her instantly recognizable physiognomy " prominent nose, black eyes and jet-black hair " was a hero in the working-class Algiers neighborhoods from which she had sprung. Biyouna stayed. But from 1994 to 1996, she ceased singing and acting, under…...

The emails reveal mounting warnings about the asylum seeker whose erratic conduct raised alarms long before the attack that jolted Washington on Wednesday, the eve of Thanksgiving. The previously unreported concerns offer the clearest picture yet of how he was struggling in his new life in the United States. West Virginia National Guard Spc.
