Which is why, at that very moment, the researchers in Al Gore’s Nashville “kitchen” were in action. Working feverishly from an advance text made public minutes earlier, his war-room aides picked apart Bush’s speech and spat it back to Philly via e-mail and fax. Bush’s talk of inclusion was a sham, they charged. In fact, he was proposing budget-busting tax breaks for the rich, a dicey experiment with Social Security and a prescription-drug plan that relied on greedy drug companies and HMOs....

The outcome of the race, as well the result of a second Georgia runoff on January 5 between Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff and incumbent Republican Sen. David Perdue will determine control of the Senate in the new Congress. The GOP will be positioned to maintain its Senate majority if either Republican manages to hold on to their seat. Loeffler avoided answering questions about President Donald Trump’s claims of a “rigged” election during the debate while Perdue skipped the event altogether....

Guthrie is sitting down with Aquaman actress for her first in-depth interview since she lost the defamation case against her ex-husband. Snippets of the interview are being shown on Today before an hour-long special of Dateline airs on Friday. Depp sued Heard for defamation after she wrote an op-ed in 2018 for The Washington Post stating that she was a survivor of domestic violence. On June 1, the jury sided with Depp, though the jury also awarded Heard $2 million as part of her counter-defamation claim....

And foodies agree that once you have tasted a newly dug, homegrown potato, it is hard to return to those bought from a store. And with the days beginning to lengthen, now is the ideal time to start planning to plant some spuds of your own. Mark Lane, Gardening Expert for Stannah, and BBC Gardener’s World presenter, believes following a few simple steps can result in a bumper crop....

A major component of your anemia treatment involves managing the cause. For example, when anemia occurs as a medication side effect, the medication is typically discontinued and replaced with another one if possible. And if you have anemia due to a problem like sepsis (a blood infection), then treatment of the infection is necessary before your RBC level can be adequately restored. Home Remedies and Lifestyle In general, home remedies are only beneficial for managing anemia that is caused by a nutritional deficit related to your diet....

However, as COVID-19 spreads, there are more cases of children suffering from severe effects. In Atlanta, a 12-year-old girl who is not believed to have had any pre-existing medical conditions was said to be “fighting for her life,” after testing positive for the virus, her uncle told CNN. So far just a handful of studies have looked at how coronavirus affects children. On March 18, the NEJM published an article that included the first known death of a child....

Karim Benzema had won back-to-back Champions League titles with Real Madrid earlier in the year and was in the early stages of making it three out of three. But former England and — perhaps significantly in the context of the borderline hysterical fallout — Barcelona striker Gary Lineker was not entirely impressed. “Is it me or is Benzema a tad overrated?” the esteemed goal poacher turned reliable television anchor tweeted....

The allegation that Israel trains American officers to kneel on the necks of suspects is the sort of half-baked musing one might overhear on a university library lawn. But while such theories often originate on campuses or in the disturbed minds of people like Roger Waters—the musician made the identical claim in a recent interview with a Hamas-affiliated news agency—they rarely stay there. Such theories now have a voice in the U....

These physical functions may be present in a person who is brain dead because the physical damage is actually hidden in the brain, rather than visible on the body. Brain cells do not effectively regenerate. This makes it difficult for the brain to recover from injury. Serious brain damage can occur due to a stroke, heart attack, or head trauma. When brain cells undergo permanent damage, they cannot be replaced....

Phillips didn’t invent that celebration — he’d seen his teammate Kevin Kiermaier do it. But it was Phillips executing it on the biggest stage in the most unlikely of circumstances Saturday night. A list of why Phillips was the last position player on either roster you’d expect to have the hit that led the Rays to walk-off Game 4 could be 5,000 words long (no, this isn’t that long). But because it’s October, and because the baseball gods are hopeless romantics, and because sometimes sports need no explanation but rather just appreciation, it was Phillips delivering nonetheless....

General manager Sashi Brown, chief strategy officer Paul DePodesta and coach Hue Jackson are taking an unconventional approach for sure. That’s magnified after Thursday’s bold NBA-style trade with the Houston Texans for Brock Osweiler that netted a 2018 second-round pick and a 2018 sixth-round pick. There’s an exciting plan in place, but that still needs to include Cleveland’s franchise quarterback. MORE: NFL free agency winners, losers It might take one more year to get there, and given what Cleveland is doing that’s OK....

The monarch, 95, made the announcement on the eve of the 70th anniversary of her accession to the throne on Saturday, February 5, saying the British public should give the couple “the same support you have given me.” Charles responded to the news the following day, describing Camilla as “my darling wife,” but the duchess herself did not initially comment. Camilla reacted to the announcement for the first time on a visit to community kitchen The Nourish Hub, in West London on Thursday, Hello!...

Les Rouges are leading the final round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying by four points with three matches remaining, and there is a real possibility that Canada could qualify for its first World Cup since 1986. It’s just one win away from clinching one of three direct berths. Canada will have to wait until March to clinch a World Cup berth. A win in Costa Rica on March 24 would have Canada mathematically clear of five other teams and assured of a top-three finish and a ticket to Qatar....

But for the Red Sox and Cardinals, what went right? How did these two teams put together the kind of magical run that wins a pennant? As Red Sox pitcher Ryan Dempster said on Tuesday, "Once you get to the playoffs, the separation is a lot smaller than it was during the regular season, and each round it just gets smaller and smaller. You're talking about two great teams that have fought hard all the way since spring training and worked hard to get to where we're at....

Like Porter, Garcia envisions leaving the ring victorious....

Extrinsic factors include sun exposure, tobacco use, immunosupression, and chemical exposure, among others. Many people are unhappy with wrinkles and try to undo the work of Mother Nature by undergoing procedures like botulinum toxin injections and injection of dermal filler. Injection of botulinum toxinessentially works to paralyze the facial muscles and decrease their muscle tone thus temporarily smoothing wrinkles. Injection with botulinum toxin, however, is usually the first step in facial rejuvenation, and deeper wrinkles also need to be filled with dermal filler....

Jared Isaacman will journey to space again in a series of missions as part of the Polaris mission, announced on the Polaris Twitter account.

Just as the Inspiration 4 mission did, Isaacman says the Polaris mission will benefit St. Judes Children’s Hospital and other good causes. He also thanked the Polaris team and his crewmates. The Polaris website says the missions will culminate with the first human-crewed flight of SpaceX’s Starship craft....
