Developing in the blink of an eye, the storm unleashed pure fury in the night–roaring winds, driving rain and unbelievable, incessant pounding of hailstones, some the size of softballs. The hail battered roofs and walls, crashed through windows and flew through the entire width of houses, carrying comets’ tails of glass shards, rain and debris with it. Battering rural Cheyenne County in the panhandle of Nebraska, the hail, tornado and high winds left behind staggering damage and destruction....

Let’s talk a little two-loss chaos. A total of 15 Power 5 schools have two losses entering Week 11. That crowded field includes Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Baylor, Penn State, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, Utah, Washington State, Colorado, Auburn, Texas A&M and Florida. MORE: SN’s Midseason All-Americans Some have been talked about more than others, like Wisconsin. Others haven’t been talked about much, like Minnesota. Yet the Gophers will have just as much say in the Big Ten race over the next three weeks....

The duo have been ripping up the league since 2015, making the game look easy at times. The success they’ve had in the regular season, where the two have combined for five Art Ross Trophies in the last six seasons, is finally translating over into postseason play. McDavid gets his shine as the game’s best player, and rightfully so. Between his speed, puck-handling ability and his shot, there is no one in the game like him....

If the Bengals beat the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC championship game Sunday, then Burrow will have a chance to inch closer to a standard no player has ever accomplished. Burrow continues to pile up accomplishments in his third NFL season. He won the national championship and the Heisman Trophy at LSU. He was the No. 1 pick in the 2020. He’s on the fast track to a second Super Bowl appearance, and he will be in the NFL MVP conversation for years to come....

It also helped the Ramblers’ cause that they had one of the most popular figures of the tournament on their side. It wasn’t any player. It was Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt. Sister Jean is the team chaplain for the Loyola Chicago basketball team. She has served in that role since 1994 and is beloved by the players that have come through the program. She is a huge basketball fan and possesses a great deal of knowledge about the sport....

This can cause erosions on the bone, invade the bone and bone marrow, and destroy surrounding structures—including the joint capsules and tendons. All of this can cause inflammation and pain that only adds to the effects of an already painful condition. Why Pannus Forms In RA, joints are infiltrated with inflammatory cells and proteins, such as cytokines. Research suggests that immune cells, including interleukin 1beta (IL-1b) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), may be involved in pannus formation....

Think of the podcast thusly: the medium became nearly synonymous with lockdown. A podcast could provide the chatter, hustle, bonhomie, reportage, gripping storylines — anything really — that formed a simulacrum of the outside world we were denied for nearly 18 months. The format allows artist freedom, yet its consumption was anodyne and gentle as listening to talk radio — but without the distressing interruption of deeply troubling news headlines on the hour....

After diagnosis, it is important that you monitor the effects of your condition so you will be able to quickly recognize complications or signs that it could be worsening. Self-Checks/At-Home Testing You should regularly check for signs of progression or complications if you have polycythemia vera. It will also be beneficial if the people who you live with are familiar with the complications, as well, so they can call for emergency help if you need it....

Like anything good and useful, there must be a balance in how radiation is used. Smart patients understand what radiation is, how it is used medically, the risks and rewards, and the benefits and dangers of using radiation for their medical care. What Is Radiation? Radiation is a form of energy that occurs naturally and may be harnessed to use more intentionally. Radiation is not unlike electricity, which occurs naturally in the form of lightning or static electricity, but can be harnessed to run equipment or just to turn on the lights....

Born in 2013, George is the eldest child of Prince William and Kate Middleton. The prince was born third in line to the British throne after his grandfather, Prince Charles, and William. As such, if he takes the throne after William’s reign, he will accede as King George VII. Since the birth of their children, both William and Kate have tried to keep their children out of the public eye as much as possible, releasing regular photographs in exchange for the British tabloid press’ agreement that intrusive images captured by members of the paparazzi would not be published....

The seven-year-old royal had a late night watching his country’s dream of a first international trophy in 55 years fall to the cruelest sword: defeat in a penalty shoot-out. The third in line to the throne cheered as England went 1-0 up in just two minutes, a record in a European Championship final, but saw Italy impose themselves and equalise in the second half. Finally, at close to 11pm U....

This isn’t anything new or rare. In fact, it’s quite common. Alabama’s James Burnip is currently one of 56 Australian punters in the FBS who were trained at ProKick Australia. The academy has grown to the point where it’s a vital piece of the college football landscape, and players who have never played a down of American football before entering college are influencing programs (and championships) across the nation....

It also matches two teams that were involved in sign-stealing scandals from their championship years: the Astros and Red Sox. The thread between the two is current Boston manager Alex Cora. Cora was the Astros’ bench coach in 2017, when Houston won the World Series. The team was later found to have used advanced technology to steal signs during the regular season and postseason.

Ukrainian officials may continue to push the West to provide more military hardware but their efforts in the battlefield have been helped in no small part by the contribution of Russia. Accounts abound of Russians simply abandoning military vehicles, as well as other armored vehicles, howitzers and ammunition, during their retreat from Kharkiv last month. British defense officials said this week that during the war, Kyiv’s forces had captured at least 400 main battle tanks (MBTs) from the Russians, as well as 650 other armored vehicles....

The Jets coach has worked with one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time in Peyton Manning. He has coached Jay Cutler, a man with some of the best arm talent the NFL has seen in the past two decades. But what Sam Darnold did during the the Jets’ preseason matchup against the Falcons was something on which Gase had never laid eyes. “Yeah, the throw to Quincy (Enunwa) — I don’t know that I have seen many that were better in my career,” Gase said....

A senior who has worked 40 quarters (10 years) in Medicare-taxed employment may get their hospital insurance (Part A) premiums for free but they will pay at least $170 per month for medical insurance (Part B) premiums in 2022. That is the case if they are in the lowest income bracket, earning less than $91,000 per year as an individual or less than $182,000 as a couple. Those in the highest tax bracket will pay as much as $578 per month....

How does this artificial light, especially when viewed at night, potentially impact our sleep? Learn how light at night affects our body’s circadian rhythm and whether it might contribute to insomnia and difficulty awakening. In addition, consider ways to reduce light exposure and counteract its effects. How Modern Technology Changed Life and Sleep It is hard to imagine a time before artificial light existed. It is such an integral part of our lives that we consider ourselves deeply inconvenienced when we lose power in a storm....

Speaking during a livestream at a meeting of the Space Studies Board and Board on Physics and Astronomy on Wednesday, the founder and CEO said SpaceX will aim to launch Starship 12 times in 2022 according to Space.com—marking a significant step in the development of the huge Mars-bound rocket. Starship has been in development for a while, with prototypes having conducted a flurry of high-alitude flight tests earlier in 2021 which largely ended up in smouldering wreckages....

While we have just 18 more episodes left with the central family in This Is Us, there is hope that we may get more from the story on the big screen. Since it launched in 2016, This Is Us has been nominated for countless awards, winning four Primetime Emmys along the way. The core members of the Pearson family are all returning — Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore, Sterling K. Brown and Chrissy Metz—but it’s Justin Hartley who’s got fans excited for a possible movie adaptation of This Is Us....

That all came to a screeching halt when Kansas City was routed by Tampa Bay 31-9 on Sunday. The Chiefs were denied a chance to repeat as Super Bowl champions and Mahomes failed to get his second consecutive ring at age 25. He was shell-shocked in his worst game as a professional and in what will go down as one of the most legendary team defensive performances in NFL history, right up there with the 1985 Bears, 2000 Ravens and 2002 Buccaneers....
