“Alien Nation” in fact does an admirable job of explaining the unintended consequences of the immigration act of 1965, which eliminated the pro-European bias in previous U.S. policy. But the law also led, quite unexpectedly, to much higher levels of immigration, virtually all of it from Latin America, the Caribbean and Asia. Critics say the law’s emphasis on kin-ship–awarding visas to relatives of immigrants who are already here-has produced “chain migration” by millions of extended families from the Third World....

While this may seem like a strange or unpleasant concept, it is important to remember that the body requires bacteria to digest food. Bacteria also helps maintain the normal movement of food and stool through the gut. Reasons for a Fecal Transplant In a normal digestive system, the hundreds of different bacteria that make up normal flora work to maintain balance, keeping any one bacteria from overgrowing. The balance, however, is a delicate one....

The police team, which has lost a couple of key players who had figured in their title triumph last year, overcame some early resistance to chalk up their first win in two matches. Meanwhile, ONGC, one of the title favourites, recorded their second straight win by thumping Jind (Haryana) 96-59, to stay on course. In the women’s section, South-East Central Railway overcame a resurgent Kerala 79-68 while Tamil Nadu got past Chattisgarh 64-57 and Maharashtra made light of Andhra Pradesh with a 89-41 score line that accurately reflected their dominance....

Federer had not played since losing his Wimbledon quarter-final to Kevin Anderson last month but showed no signs of rust as he cruised to a 6-4 6-4 victory. Leonardo Mayer awaits in the third round and Federer feels confident about the hard-court season. “I felt good in that first match, to be honest, walking out, hardly any nerves,” Federer said. “I think I knew what I wanted to do, what I had to do....

However, like much of the U.S., fast food restaurants can alter their opening hours or even shut completely on Christmas Day, making it important to plan ahead. And to complicate matters further, outlets in some chains will shut while others remain open on December 25. We have compiled the Christmas Day opening hours of some of America’s most popular fast-food restaurants, from KFC to Krispy Kreme. Please note, while Newsweek has contacted all the restaurants featured in this article, some have yet to respond, so please confirm the opening times with your local branch before making the trip....

According to his teammates, Buccaneers QB Jameis Winston has “toned up a little bit” and is no longer the pot-bellied gunslinger we remember coming into the NFL as the No. 1 overall pick last year.

Thirty years later, Sheridan has released “In the Name of the Father,” which makes it clear he knows precisely where England is. “Father” is a corrosive indictment of the British judicial system. It is the brutal–and true–story of the “Guildford Four,” a group of apolitical layabouts whom British authorities allegedly tortured and convicted for IRA bombings they knew nothing about. In particular, it’s the story of a scruffy Belfast petty thief named Gerry Conlon, who was imprisoned along with his fragile, devout father, Giuseppe....

Fauci, a heavy favorite at 4/5 early in the day and dropping to even odds at post time, couldn’t close enough ground down the stretch from the No. 3 position and finished second in the five furlong race for 2-year-olds. Garoppolo, from the No. 1 spot, faded fast in the five-horse contest. The winner was Prisoner, who had the second-best post odds at 6/5 working from No. 2 and trained by three-time Belmont Stakes winner Todd A....

John Pulcastro, a supervisory analyst at the Pittsburgh FBI, described how Pittsburgh has become a “hub” for the far-right and neo-Nazi groups during a “When Hate Hits Home” Zoom presentation presented by the Cyril H. Wecht Institute. “It’s important to understand that it is here,” said Pulcastro, via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Pulcastro warned that groups such as Patriot Front—described as an “image-obsessed organization” who rehabilitated the “explicitly fascist agenda” of Vanguard America with extremist patriotism by the Southern Poverty Law Center—are among those holding events and recruiting in the city....

During the filming of 1982’s Blade Runner , Ridley Scott and Harrison Ford had repeated run-ins on the set. Eventually, it got to the stage where Ford went above the director’s head and complained to the studio, resulting in the executives making changes to the final film without Scott’s involvement. Hollywood is filled with stories such as these: directors feuding with actors; actors becoming more powerful than the directors; and even actors conspiring to have directors fired or replaced....

Under pressure from conservatives such as Jesse Helms, the FCC has been increasingly hostile to “shock radio” in recent years. Last year it fined Infinity $6,000 after one of Stern’s guests played the piano with his penis. But last week’s fine upped the ante. “This is the first skirmish in a war against that trash,” says Terry Rakolta, head of Americans for Responsible Television, the group that lobbied for even harsher remedies....

Many of the drugs that are available to treat severe cases of plaque psoriasis are biologics that are injected or administered intravenously. These can be expensive and often require patients to routinely visit a provider to be treated and monitored. Even oral immunosuppressant options can increase the risk of infection and other undesirable side effects....

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is recalling certain Sportmix products after batches were found to contain potentially fatal levels of aflatoxin. Aflatoxin is a toxin produced by mold that can grow on corn and other grains used as ingredients in pet food. Symptoms can include sluggishness, loss of appetite, vomiting, jaundice, and diarrhea. Pets may also suffer liver damage but not show symptoms, the FDA said. Both cat and dog food products are among those being recalled....

Though hand sanitizer is commonly recommended to help keep your hands clean while in public—or even inside your home—so many of them have been discovered to have methanol, which can be toxic if either ingested or infiltrated wrongly through skin. For people wanting to continuously stay clean, the FDA and CDC recommend that you wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds—as needed, or several times a day—and to practice good hygiene....

This year’s field of talented 3-year-old thoroughbreds competing at Louisville’s iconic Churchill Downs this Saturday, May 4 (6:50 p.m. ET post time on NBC) will hope they leave with a chance to win all three jewels of horse racing’s Triple Crown — just like Justify in 2018.
