Dear Annie: I recently started a new job that I genuinely like. The people are friendly (mostly), the work is interesting and I finally feel like I may have found a place where I can stay for the long haul. But there is just one problem, and it is a big one.
The woman who sits at the reception desk smokes like a chimney, and the smell does not just stay with her.

Terry Rozier of the Miami Heat has built a respectable NBA career, averaging about 20 points per game some years.
In all likelihood, though, the Miami Heat point guard will now be remembered less for what he did on the court than as another data point in how runaway sports betting is corrupting major athletics.
Rozier stands accused of tipping off gamblers that he would leave a game early in March 2023 based on a supposed injury. This allowed his coconspirators to bet the “under” on his
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Aaron Rodgers spent the week insisting his first-ever game against the Green Bay Packers wasn’t personal. That he wasn’t looking for revenge against the team he defined for the better part of two decades.
Good thing, because there was none to be had on Sunday night in Pittsburgh’s 35-25 loss to Green Bay.
Instead, there was only reminder after reminder that while the 41-year-old Rodgers can still compete at a high level, the team that surrounds him remains very much a work in

PARIS (AP) — A vividly hued Picasso portrait of longtime muse and partner Dora Maar that had remained hidden from public view for more than eight decades sold Friday at auction for 32 million euros (about $37 million), including fees — surpassing expectations but far from the artist’s most expensive work ever auctioned.
