On November 8, “out of an abundance of caution” By Heart voluntarily recalled two batches of By Heart Whole Nutrient Infant Milk during an investigation into an infant botulism outbreak by the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. On November 11, the company expanded its recall to include all batches of ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula cans and Anywhere Packs nationwide.

According to the FDA, as of Friday, Nov. 14, a total of 23 infants with suspected or confirmed infant botulism diagnoses and confirmed exposure to ByHeart Whole Nutrition infant formula (various lots) have been reported from 13 U.S. states. No deaths have been reported so far, but all 23 infants have been hospitalized, the agency said.

Stephen and Eulanie Dexter of Flagstaff, Arizona, and Michael and Hannah Everett of Richmond, Kentucky, filed suit in federal court against Byhart after their babies contracted the rare and potentially fatal disease. Both families claim that Byhart was the direct cause of their infant’s botulism.

The Gamecocks’ lead steadily narrowed, and the Aggies took the lead for good on EJ Smith’s 4-yard touchdown run four minutes into the fourth quarter. At that point, a reversal was a foregone conclusion. South Carolina was now falling apart in a classic A&M second half barrage.

The 27-point comeback was the largest in school history. Since 2004, SEC teams are 0-286 when trailing by 27 points or more.

A win over the Siamcocks doesn’t change the numbers for the SEC Championship. That path still goes through a Black Friday showdown with No. 10 Texas and will be influenced by results in other conferences, which will determine how many teams end November with a league loss.

A Texas State Trooper stationed near the Kyle Field tunnel has been “relieved” of game-day duty following an incident with Nick Harbaugh and several South Carolina players during the Gamecocks’ Week 12 road game at No. 3 Texas A&M.

The “shoulder collision” incident occurred at Kyle Field near the end of the first half after an 80-yard touchdown pass from Lanoris Sellers to Nick Harbaugh, with South Carolina leading 27-3. After Harber entered the end zone, the Shamcocks wide receiver continued to run into the tunnel, where he grabbed the back of his leg, prompting several teammates to check on Harber. When they returned to the scene, the officer put Haber on his shoulder and yelled at him.

“We are aware of an incident involving a DPS member within the Northeast Tunnel. He has been relieved of duty on game day,” Texas A&M Police Department said on its official X (formerly Twitter) account.

In an essay for the Sunday Times published on November 13, 99-year-old Van Dyke opened up about the physical decline he experiences in his daily life, from problems with his legs to poor eyesight. He added that he has difficulty maintaining concentration in group conversations and frequently complains about his hearing aids.

“It’s frustrating to feel diminished in the world, both physically and socially,” he wrote. “I get invitations to events and gig offers in New York and Chicago, but I have to decline those trips because they take a lot out of me. Almost all my visits with people have to take place at my home.”

Still, the ‘Mary Poppins’ star is determined to live a long and healthy life as she approaches her 100th birthday on December 13, revealing that she tries to hit the gym three times a week.

Bettors on prediction betting sites such as Polymarket and Kalshi appear to be skeptical.

President Trump recently hinted at the possibility of checks from tariff revenue. On Nov. 9, he posted on Truth Social that “everyone will receive a dividend of at least $2,000 per person (except for high earners!).”

Three days later, on November 12, White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt was asked about dividends and echoed the president’s support for them. “The White House is fully committed to making that happen, and we are currently considering all legal options to make that happen.”

President Trump floated the idea of ​​dividend rebates in July, saying that tariff revenue “could lead to some rebates, but the big thing we want to do is pay down the debt.”

Powell will host “SNL” for the first time on Nov. 15, the same weekend that his latest film, “Running Man,” is released. For Powell, a longtime fan of the show, it was like a late-night wish he’d had since childhood.

“I’ve wanted to do this like my whole life,” Powell told USA TODAY. “There is no stage I could have dreamed of more than Thirty Rock.

“This is truly a symbolic rite of passage and I really can’t wait.”

Of the 25 teams ranked in the U.S. LBM Coaches Poll, 23 are scheduled to play games this weekend, including a total of two games in the SEC’s top 10 that could shake up the entire 12-team field. No. 4 Alabama (8-1, 6-0 SEC) will play No. 10 Oklahoma State (7-2, 3-2 SEC), and No. 5 Georgia (8-1, 6-1) will play No. 10 Texas (7-2, 4-1).

Another important matchup is No. 9 Notre Dame vs. No. 23 Pittsburgh, which is attracting enough attention that ESPN’s “College GameDay” is returning to Pittsburgh for the first time in 20 years.

As has been the case all season, any team could be on alert on Saturday. Penn State nearly defeated No. 2 Indiana last week, but No. 14 Vanderbilt avoided an upset by Auburn in overtime.

Judah Cohen, a research scientist and climatologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), said in an email to USA TODAY that the atmosphere is at a “critical crossroads” and what happens in November could be a “crossroads” for the rest of the winter.

Weather models suggest that the stratosphere could suddenly warm up, causing a counterintuitive cooling effect on the Earth’s surface.

If the phenomenon of “sudden stratospheric warming” actually occurs, cold weather and snow could soon arrive in many parts of the country.

Cohen said the developments will determine how the often-misunderstood polar vortex affects U.S. weather and how cold air from the north is guided by La Niña weather patterns.

It won’t be long until the cold and snow returns. AccuWeather’s long-term experts share what this winter will look like in the U.S.

An “extraordinary and unique event” may be underway

Mr. Cohen described a series of events that could soon occur. The stratosphere above the North Pole suddenly warms, pushing cold air south toward the United States.

This is called “sudden stratospheric warming” (SSW) and is “the biggest type of disruption that can occur in the polar vortex,” Cohen said.

“It is named after the dramatic warming that occurs in the polar stratosphere (warming near the North Pole can exceed 100 degrees in just a few days),” he said. “Warming causes the polar vortex to move much further south than normal.”

If the stratosphere suddenly warms, November would be the first such event since accurate satellite recording began, he added.

There were two known events in the pre-satellite era: November 1958 and November 1968.

“I tend not to rely on stratospheric data before satellite data was available,” Cohen says. Therefore, if a stratospheric warming event were to occur, “it would be an unusual, even unique phenomenon.”

Girl vs Polar Vortex?

If Cohen’s scenario comes true, the polar vortex would have a major impact on future weather, but as meteorologists have previously said, La Niña also has a big impact.

The relationship between the two is complex. There are no clear winners and losers as to which weather patterns will dominate the winter.

Rather, the polar vortex weather pattern largely influences the degree of coldness, Cohen said, and La Niña effects help direct that coldness.

Overall, Cohen believes that “the behavior of the polar vortex will be more influential in determining whether the U.S. experiences cold weather.”

Does cold air reach the ground?

Cohen said a key question about our weather is how strongly stratospheric warming will affect weather at the surface and in the troposphere. If the warming phenomenon were to have a strong impact on the jet stream and our weather, we would see an extended period of cold and snowy weather starting sometime in December, he said. It could also be extended into early January, “significantly increasing the likelihood of an even colder winter in the United States.”

“I believe that a weaker or short-circuited coupling between the polar vortex and the jet stream could lead to an overall warmer climate across the United States for the foreseeable future, greatly increasing the likelihood that the U.S. winter will be generally mild to very mild.”
