UNITED STATES

Another week, another NFL officiating controversy.Week 8 of the NFL season began with the Los Angeles Rams topping the Minnesota Vikings, 30-20, on Thursday night behind Matthew Stafford’s four touchdown passes. However, it was a missed face mask penalty on Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold that had everyone talking.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMWith 1:36 remaining and the Vikings deep in their own territory, Rams defensive tackle Byron Young grabbed Darnold’s face mask as he tackled him for a safety. It gave Los Angeles two points to extend its lead to 10 points and ultimately sealed the game.Needless to say, the NFL world erupted in fury.Referee Tra Blake explained to a pool reporter after the game he could not see the face mask.PATRICK MAHOMES CREDITS HIS ‘DAD BOD’ FOR VIRAL TOUCHDOWN VS. 49ERS”The quarterback was facing the opposite direction from me, so I did not have a good look at it,” Blake said, via ESPN. “I did not have a look, and I did not see the face mask being pulled, obviously.”Blake said umpire Carl Paganelli was also blocked.”The umpire had players between him and the quarterback, so he did not get a good look at it,” Blake added. “He was blocked out as well. So that was the thing. We did not see it, so we couldn’t call it.”Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell and Darnold would not use the missed penalty as an excuse. Minnesota still had to drive the length of the field regardless of the face mask.However, it definitely would have helped.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Rep. Brandon Williams, R-N.Y., is blasting Democratic challenger John Mannion over his progressive endorsement despite the opponent painting himself as a moderate during Tuesday night’s debate. The two are battling for control of New York’s 22nd congressional district, which Democrats write off as an easy pick-up in their fight to reclaim control of the House. Williams won by one percentage point two years ago, and since then, the state legislature’s redistricting removed rural areas strongly favored by former President Trump and added the college town of Cortland. The result is a changed central New York district where voters favored President Biden by 11 points in the 2020 presidential election.

“John Mannion painted a rosy picture of his views in last night’s debate, oddly attempting to run to the political right of Congressman Williams,” Williams’ spokesperson Taylor Weyeneth told Fox News Digital Wednesday. “However, he neglected to explain why he’s running on the anti-cop, pro-Hamas ballot line for the ‘Working Families Party’ and its grotesque policies. A note for John, it’s time to put actions behind your words—denounce the WFP or admit you are an extremist willing to do anything to get elected.”

The two faced off during their third and final debate on Tuesday night. Mannion, though considered a moderate in Albany, was endorsed by the New York Working Families Party earlier this year and remains on their website’s list of backed candidates. The progressive minority party’s website says it’s committed to “defeat fascism and build progressive power,” and is reportedly linked to the larger Democratic Socialists of America, which endorses Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in New York. 2 SWING DISTRICTS IN NEW YORK SPLIT AS GOP INCUMBENTS FIGHT TO HOLD SEATSIn December 2023, the New York Post reported that the New York’s Working Families Party asked candidates seeking their endorsement for state offices to support $40 billion in tax increases, permitting migrants and non-citizens to vote and establishing more legalized drug-injection centers. Their questionnaire reportedly asked candidates, “Will you stand up for the right of all non-citizens, including undocumented New Yorkers, to vote in local and state elections, so they have a voice in the communities they live in and the schools their children go to?” 

“The WFP also asks if a candidate would back legislation or support using federal funds to provide health insurance coverage to more than 250,000 residents who are non-citizens or undocumented,” another question posed to the state candidate read, according to the Post. 

It’s not clear if Mannion faced the same questions. Fox News Digital reached out to the Mannion campaign for comment but did not immediately hear back. The Working Families Party, which also had advocated for defunding the police, has been vocal in demanding a cease-fire in Gaza and has accused Israel of carrying out “war crimes.” 

“We have to stop the global authoritarian right-wing. Trump wants to criminalize protesters for Palestine,” its account wrote in August. “He is Netanyahu’s preferred candidate, who is behind the ethnic cleansing campaign that has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians and displaced and starved millions.” NEW YORK CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE SAYS REPUBLICANS ‘FEARFUL’ OF MIGRANTS ARE IGNORANTWhile national attention has been focused on districts closer to New York City as holding the key to the balance of power in Congress, the Democratic Party has dedicated significant resources to the central New York race between Williams and Mannion, sensing one of its best chances this fall.

In Mannion, a former school teacher and two-term state senator, Democrats have a candidate they’re betting can appeal to swing voters. He has substantial support from labor unions, opposes abortion restrictions and has staked out a centrist position on changes to the state’s bail laws.Williams, meanwhile, has sought to frame Mannion as a liberal masquerading as a centrist.”He has all of the credentials of the far left, but he’s going to pretend to be a Republican here for a couple of weeks, and with a wink and a nod and hoping that the Democrat base either forgives him or doesn’t notice,” Williams said, according to the Associated Press. Williams, who grew up in Texas, served as a U.S. Navy submarine officer, then was a tech entrepreneur before starting a truffle farm in central New York, has spent much of the campaign trying to recapture the dynamic that helped him win a close race in 2022.That year, Republican candidates in New York outperformed their national colleagues by capitalizing on a public backlash against changes in the state’s bail laws. The changes restricted the practice of requiring many people accused of nonviolent crimes to pay money in order to get released from jail while they await trial.Mannion was not in office when those bail changes passed, but he did back legislation that subsequently gave judges more discretion on whether to jail a person before trial, a change many progressives resisted but that moderates argued was necessary, according to the AP. The race started off mostly cordial but became increasingly caustic in the final stretch.

One of the most distinctly American cuisines in the world will soon have a museum to celebrate its place in the culinary landscape. Dedicated to all things barbecue, the Museum of BBQ is scheduled to open in Kansas City, Missouri, in the spring of 2025. It will showcase everything from the different elements of the cuisine to the distinct flavors of each regional variation.Food writer Jonathan Bender is co-founder of the Museum of BBQ alongside Kansas City chef Alex Pope, owner of the Local Pig restaurant.KANSAS CITY HOME TO AMERICA’S BEST BARBECUE, CHEFS CLAIM: ‘OUR VARIETY MAKES US UNIQUE'”If you could take the basic elements of barbecue and the regions of barbecue and turn them into experience, have the ability to literally walk through those things as you learn about them, I loved that idea of a story coming to life in a physical space,” Bender told Fox News Digital of his inspiration for what’s being billed as the world’s first barbecue museum. (See the video at the top of this article.)The immersive experience will feature 10 interactive installations dedicated to the elements and regions of barbecue, along with a gift shop featuring rubs, sauces and barbecue-themed goods.Museum visitors will follow two storytelling trails, the first describing the elements of barbecue to see how a pitmaster turns a favorite cut of meat into a delicious dish.”You get the opportunity to walk through and have your senses be tickled,” Bender said. “You can learn why smoke and rub and spice and wood and fire all impart flavor into barbecue.”Visitors will then travel through the main American regions of barbecue – from the Carolinas and Memphis to Texas and Kansas City – discovering how each location has developed its individual flavor and style.”I think we have these beautifully distinct regions of American barbecue, each of which will claim their natural right as the epicenter or headquarters of barbecue,” Bender said. FRIED BOLOGNA SANDWICH IS BOTH COWBOY ‘COMFORT FOOD’ AND ‘FIVE-STAR DINING'”But to discover some of the subtle differences between Memphis and Texas and the Carolinas and, of course, Kansas City, where this is headquartered — I thought it was an opportunity to take a deeper dive while we are together into one of these really neat American culinary traditions.”There will even be a pit stop for guests to jump into an oversized crock of “barbecue beans” — that is, a ball pit with balls that are shaped like beans, a classic barbecue side dish.Located inside the Crown Center in downtown Kansas City, the museum is just above Burnt End BBQ, named for the city’s iconic barbecue dish.Bender said the Kansas City establishment serves “all of the classics.”SURPRISING SECRETS OF THE PERFECT SANDWICH, FROM A COOKBOOK AUTHOR AND SOCIAL MEDIA STAR”You can get brisket and pulled pork and burnt ends, [those] crispy little bits of barbecued gold from the tapered edges of the brisket,” Bender said. “So, what’s great there is, you can come learn about barbecue. We’ll have a few small surprises when we open. But if you really want to sit down and enjoy barbecue, your journey can start right downstairs.”With many regions vying for the distinction of best barbecue, why was Kansas City selected to serve as the home of the museum? For one, it’s the city where Bender has been living and writing about barbecue for the better part of two decades.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER”But perhaps more importantly beyond my experiences, barbecue is intrinsically linked with Kansas City’s history because of the stockyards and the railways kind of coalescing here,” Bender said. “So, there is this tremendous rich tradition of barbecue here, which also tends to be a melting pot in some of the other distinct regions.” Kansas City is also home to the American Royal World Series of Barbecue, which it claims to be the largest barbecue competition in the world.Although the museum won’t open until next year, visitors of the Crown Center can already get a sneak peek of what to expect with a miniature installation near the museum’s entrance.For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyle”A large part of this is about teaching people about where barbecue currently is but then also encouraging them to play around with barbecue on their own,” Bender said. That includes being “a friend in that space who can recommend some things, teach you some things and then share the joy.”

One in eight women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in their lifetime, statistics show.The diagnosis can be shocking, scary and overwhelming, leaving the patient with a long list of questions — perhaps the first of which is, “What should I do next?””Hearing the words ‘you have cancer’ is life-changing and brings with it many emotions,” Tingting Tan, MD, PhD, a medical oncologist and hematologist at City of Hope Newport Beach in California, told Fox News Digital. “Know that your feelings are perfectly normal and give yourself some time.”‘I’M A RADIOLOGIST — TO REDUCE BREAST CANCER RISK, EAT THESE 5 FOODS AND FOLLOW THESE HEALTHY HABITS’Fox News Digital spoke with breast cancer experts who have helped other women navigate this tough journey, gathering their guidance about what to do in the days and weeks after the diagnosis.Experts agree that it’s important to give yourself time to process the news.”It’s natural to want to rush into action, but taking some time and letting the news sink in is important,” Dr. Alyssa Middleton, a psychosocial oncologist in Louisville, Kentucky, and founder of MyCancerResources.com, told Fox News Digital.BREAST CANCER SIGNS, SYMPTOMS TO LOOK OUT FOR, PLUS WHEN TO SCHEDULE ROUTINE SCREENING”Allow yourself to feel the range of emotions that come with this life-altering news.”In most cases, Middleton said, oncologists will wait several weeks to begin treatment to allow time for further testing — “so there’s no need to feel panicked about making decisions today.”Once you’ve allowed yourself some time to process the diagnosis, it’s time to learn as much as you can from reliable sources.”Read the information the doctor provided about the type of breast cancer you have and the stage — a number from 0-4 that describes how big the tumor is, where it is located, and how far it may have spread from the breast,” Middleton advised.Next, it’s important to understand the typical treatments for your type and stage, which may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and/or hormone therapy.Write down all of your questions and bring them to every doctor’s appointment, Tan advised.”Those first appointments can be extremely emotional, and there may still be shock or disbelief,” she told Fox News Digital. “Writing your questions down will ensure you don’t forget them.””You aren’t obligated to inform the whole world about your diagnosis,” Middleton said. “Share the news with those who you feel need to know and who will be most supportive.”You can share as much or as little information as you like, she added. “This is your health, and you control what and how much information is shared.”Once you’ve notified your loved ones, it can be helpful to bring a friend or family member to your appointments, Tan said. “This time can be overwhelming, and you want to be sure you understand everything your doctor is explaining,” she said. “Having your support system with you for an extra set of ears can be helpful if you don’t understand something or miss something.”In your day-to-day life, it’s OK to ask for help, Tan emphasized.”Loved ones are often ready and happy to help with preparing meals, taking kids to school, or anything and everything in between,” she said.Studies have shown that getting a second opinion after a breast cancer diagnosis can be beneficial for the patient.”Second opinions can save lives,” Tan said.BREAST CANCER DIAGNOSES SPIKING AMONG WOMEN UNDER 50, NEW REPORT REVEALS”Cancer is unique, and if you are diagnosed with breast cancer, you want to see an expert who specializes in your exact type. Don’t be afraid to ask your doctor for a second opinion.”Even if you don’t switch oncologists, seeking a second opinion can provide reassurance that you have chosen the right care team and treatment plan, Tan noted. “It is essential to do this before starting treatment, as there may be additional options that you should consider,” she said.Another breast oncologist may have different recommendations on how to treat your breast cancer, Middleton agreed. “If the treatment recommendation is the same, you can decide which oncologist you feel most comfortable with and move forward with them,” she said. “If the treatment recommendation differs, you can decide which approach you prefer.”When it comes to seeking care, it’s vital to seek experts who specialize in breast cancer, Tan said.She recommends choosing an oncologist who practices at a cancer center that’s designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI).”Getting on the right treatment plan at the beginning of your journey is very important,” she said. “Physicians at academic medical centers are the most up to date on the latest treatment breakthroughs and options in the field.”Dr. Anjeanette Brown, MD, a board-certified breast surgeon at the Premier Surgical Network in New Jersey, emphasized the importance of choosing a health care professional with the proper credentials.”This person should be your ‘quarterback,’ directing the essential steps that need to be taken for proper evaluation and imaging prior to going into surgery,” she told Fox News Digital.It’s essential that the patient feels comfortable with her provider, Brown noted. “This will be a long, intense relationship, dealing with emotions and physical changes that are about to happen, secondary to surgical intervention, as well as possible medical management,” she added.THESE 17 CANCER TYPES ARE MORE COMMON IN GEN X AND MILLENNIALS, AS STUDY NOTES ‘ALARMING TREND’Dr. Lauren Ramsey, a breast cancer surgeon in Ft. Worth, Texas, specifically recommends seeing a breast surgeon (surgical oncologist) in a timely fashion — ideally a provider who has completed a specialized fellowship in breast surgical oncology. “Other doctors, such as medical oncologists and radiation oncologists, may end up playing a role — however, the breast surgeon will be able to make those referrals for you,” she said.Many women find invaluable support from other breast cancer patients and survivors. “Online groups can be a great source of support, with others who are further along in treatment sharing their experiences and supporting you in your journey,” said Middleton.”If you’re feeling overwhelmed with all the information that’s been thrown at you, you may want to wait a little while to do this,” she added.For patients who want to have children in the future, it’s important to consider this before beginning treatment, according to Middleton. “You’ll want to meet with a fertility specialist to learn about your options and make arrangements for any procedures to be done before any breast cancer treatment starts,” she advised.While a breast cancer diagnosis can seem ominous, experts agree that prognoses have improved over the decades. “Breast cancer mortality rates have dropped by 44% since 1989, thanks to early detection and treatment,” Tan said.”When breast cancer is localized – meaning it hasn’t spread outside the breast – the five-year survival rate is 99%, based on NCI data of women diagnosed with breast cancer between 2013 and 2019.”There are also more than four million breast cancer survivors in the U.S., Tan added. Exercise is recommended even with a breast cancer diagnosis, Ramsey said. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER”We recommend any form of physical activity, whether it’s light walking or a more structured exercise,” she advised. “Continue performing your usual daily activities.”Adopting a balanced and nutrient-dense diet can also help support the body during treatment and recovery, Ramsey added. “Focus on lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, whole grains and healthy fats,” she said. “Avoid sugary and highly processed foods.”It’s important to pay attention to your emotional, psychological and spiritual needs throughout a breast cancer journey, Tan advised.Brown echoed the importance of self-care.For more Health articles, visit www.foxnews.com/health”This could include a discussion with a nutritionist, giving yourself the space to accept and adjust to the diagnosis, and finding a support group or therapist,” she said. “It’s a lot, so there is no shame in reaching out to others.”

A PTA-sponsored hayride in a quiet New Jersey town dissolved into chaos as police were forced to intervene after hundreds of unruly teens began fighting in a local park and causing havoc.The Collingswood Police Department shared in a Facebook post that the family-friendly Haunted Hayride in Knight Park required police to intervene after an estimated 200+ juveniles were dropped off at Knight Park in Collingswood, New Jersey.”The event was quickly disrupted by fights breaking out, largely between arriving youths, and unruly behavior,” the department said.Authorities said that the out-of-control behavior began shortly after 8:20 p.m. on Oct. 19, with the young adults “running recklessly through the crowd and cutting in line for the hay ride.”HALLOWEEN SIDE HUSTLE BRINGS MOM A FORTUNE FOR HER DECORATING ABILITIESPolice officers dispersed the rowdy kids to “ensure the safety of the families attending the event,” police said. However, it was decided there was no safe way to continue the hayride event, so the police shut the Halloween event down.TOP-SEARCHED HALLOWEEN COSTUMES OF 2024: FROM MOVIE CHARACTERS TO POP CULTURE ICONSBut, the night was not over for the wild teens. Police said that 50–70 juveniles took over local gas station, Wawa.”As officers were in the midst of dispersing the park crowds, a call was received reporting an incident at Wawa on Haddon Avenue, involving 50–70 juveniles taking over the store,” police said. “Officers were able to assist Wawa with dispersing the group of juveniles who were stealing items and causing a disturbance.”Wawa was also forced to shut down to prevent any more damage, police said.The chaos continued along through residential yards, police said.”When officers arrived at the park, they found that roughly 80 juveniles were engaged in a massive fight and were met with resistance from youths punching, kicking and pushing past the officers to continue fighting,” police said. “Some juveniles broke away from the main group and began running through nearby residential backyards.”Police officers eventually dispersed the crowd and restored order. They did not make any arrests, the department said.In a Facebook post, event staff at the Collingswood Haunted Hayride event said that the “evening was beyond what we could have expected.””Unfortunately, as everyone saw and realized, a lot of the evening was beyond what could have been expected, but with the feedback and awareness we will review and organize to determine a way to move into next year,” the hayride wrote on Facebook. “We appreciate your support and without it our event could not happen.”
