The Centers for Disease Control might agree with her: it reports that 325,000 people are hospitalized every year with foodborne illnesses. Will that number spike now that consumers are responsible for more of their own airline meals and portion sizes almost mandate that you take some home? Don’t worry about it–just go wash your hands.

Last week marked the 30th anniversary of Sports Interactive’s first soccer management simulator, Championship Manager. The British studio was making games under the Eidos umbrella before splitting with the now-Square-Enix-owned publisher in 2004. Since Eidos kept the naming rights, the developer teamed up with Sega on a new series, which started with Football Manager 2005. The success of that game prompted the Japanese publisher to outright acquire Sports Interactive in 2006, which eventually allowed it to corner the soccer management simulation niche....

Eat District in Boca Raton, Florida, recently introduced a new server named Bella. Developed by Pudu Robotics, she is touted as providing “an unprecedented food delivery robot experience.” She debuted this week to Eat District patrons, who reportedly loved the new waiter. “I thought that was really cool how the robot served the food,” one patron told local news station WPBF 25. Another commented on how the robot was able to efficiently deliver food to their table without error....

The former employee, Brandon Gonzalez, posted a photo of the receipt and said on Twitter: “Yesterday I was at work and my boss, Hole in the Wall co-founder Sam, thought it’d be funny to change the ‘Blackened’ wings to ‘I Can’t Breathe’. Attention Miami locals do not support this disgusting establishment. I quit today. #BlackLivesMatter” Gonzalez told NBC Miami more about the name change: “You’re pretty much joking about the BLM moment, you think it’s a joke that George Floyd was saying ‘I can’t breathe’ an x amount of times like you think that’s funny?...

When torrential rain flooded the city Friday afternoon, the Peace River crested at more than 25 feet (25.36 at one point, although the final number was not available)—breaking the record of 25 feet—set in 1912—by several inches. The river flooded almost 5 feet more from Ian than when Hurricane Irma hit in 2017. The excessive water from Ian crumbled roadways and formed giant sinkholes. The area remains flooded days after the hurricane passed....

The nation’s best team, the nation’s most talented team, began the season going through the motions, and the next thing you know, was down 17 on the road to a team that struggled with three cupcakes to begin the season. There’s no way N.C. State should have had a 17-point lead on the ‘Noles; no way N.C. State should have led the game in the second half and had an opportunity to end FSU’s unbeaten run....

Pinellas County arrest records allege Lisa Anne Matteson, 58, was intoxicated Friday afternoon when she twice grabbed a woman’s buttocks and made lewd sexual comments. When the husband of the female passenger confronted Matteson about repeatedly grabbing his wife, she replied by paraphrasing a line President Donald Trump recently directed toward several Democratic congresswomen of color. “You should go back to the country you came from,” she allegedly told the woman’s husband, according to the police report....

At the recently concluded press conference, it was confirmed that the boxing Hall of Famer will lock horns with one of the biggest stars in Japanese MMA. The number of rounds, length of the rounds and rulesets will be revealed at a later date. The bout itself will serve as a launching point for the newly announced RIZIN Fight Pass streaming platform. Watch the full press conference below: Since his last professional fight against Conor McGregor back in 2017, ‘Money’ has participated in three exhibition bouts....

A world champion in five different classes, Mayweather retired with an unblemished 50-0 record after defeating UFC star Conor McGregor in 2017. The 44-year-old had previously retired in 2007 after stopping Britain’s Ricky Hatton in 10 rounds to retain the WBC and The Ring welterweight titles, before returning to the ring in July 2009. Mayweather retired for a second time in 2015, after defeating Andre Berto by unanimous decision to retain the WBA, WBC and The Ring welterweight titles....

Mayweather’s fight with Manny Pacquiao is being deemed as the biggest ever. Whether that’s true or not is up for debate. The sum, however, is another story. There’s no denying that both fighters set to profit generously from this bout, but Mayweather especially. MORE: Fight time and odds | How to watch the fight | Expert, celeb picks There are multiple reports of what the fighter will receive, but it’s been estimated between $150-200 million....

While scoffed at by many, Mayweather commented the fight was possible. McGregor put up a poster on Sunday fueling more speculation. You have a better chance of winning last week’s $429 million Powerball than seeing Mayweather vs. McGregor. First, the UFC won’t release “Notorious” from his contract nor allow him to compete in another sport. UFC president Dana White wouldn’t allow Ronda Rousey to wrestle at April’s WWE Wrestlemania, so there’s no way he would allow his biggest box office attraction to do something outside his company....

Who Should Get a Flu Shot The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says everyone over 6 months old should get one. It’s even more important if you’re at high risk for serious complications from the flu, if you have frequent exposure to the general public (healthcare workers, emergency personnel, etc.), or if you are a caregiver in close contact with high-risk individuals. For seasonal flu, high-risk groups include:...

The authors of the paper, published in the journal Physics of Fluids, estimate that when the lid is left up during flushing, between 40 to 60 percent of aerosol particles in the bowl reach above the seat—potentially leading to “large-scale virus spread.” To carry out their study, the scientists looked at existing literature on the conditions of commons toilets and the air cloud caused by their flush mechanism to create a computer simulation....
