Before getting to the heart of the issue, let’s dispense with the familiar bad motives at either extreme. Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott was his usual subtle self. He described the bill, which will subject Mexican truckers to various insurance and inspection requirements before they enter the United States, as “anti-Mexican” and “anti-Hispanic.” It’s touching to see Lott emerge as a champion of the rights of minorities, but his transparent aim here is to give the Democrats a little taste of their own medicine....

On November 9, 2006, Dr. Margaret Chan, a physician from Hong Kong, was appointed to her first five year term, having garnered majority of support from the World Health Association—the nations who vote on top appointments to the WHO. Just two days earlier, George W. Bush’s Republican party had been hammered in midterm elections, losing both houses of Congress for the time since 1992. The Iraq war was heading south quickly, and in response Bush threw controversial Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld over the side, an acknowledgment that Iraq was a debacle....

Welcome to Spinsylvania (population: 2). The outcome of today’s long-awaited Keystone State primary wasn’t, in the end, decided at the ballot box—even though Clinton posted a gritty 55-45 victory over her rival from Illinois. Clinton wasn’t expected to close the gap of 150 pledged delegates and 800,000 popular votes separating her from Obama—and she didn’t. Obama wasn’t expected to overcome Clinton’s 20-point head start in the polls, or her inherent demographic advantages—and he didn’t....

Jean-Yves Le Drian issued the warning Friday as European foreign ministers met in Brussels to try and save the JCPOA, France 24 reported. The Obama-era deal placed limits on Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.

From the porch of the Crayola yellow–stucco Bwindi Bar, I leaned back in my plastic patio chair clutching a cold Nile beer. I watched as women swathed in geometric-patterned skirts rode sidesaddle on the back of motorbikes, and soldiers cycled down the street on battered old Trek bicycles. Around 4 p.m., a dust-covered Star Link coach came to a grinding halt out front for its daily passenger pickup for the 12-hour trip to Uganda’s capital city, Kampala....

Beating Barca was bittersweet, says Alves Alves spiced up Saturday’s match by remembering the last Champions League final between Madrid and Juventus, which the Spanish side won in 1998 thanks to a solitary strike from Predrag Mijatovic. “That goal was offside,” he said in Friday’s pre-match press conference. Replays of the goal seem to suggest he was right, although none of those show the position of Gianluca Pessotto, who seconds earlier had been standing close to the corner flag and may have played the former Yugoslavia striker on....

For obvious reasons, this almost never happens deliberately. Usually, the situation occurs when an infected person might forget to properly wash their hands after using the toilet.

Self-Checks It is impossible to diagnose an ependymoma without diagnostic testing. Many symptoms of ependymoma are similar to those of other medical issues. Also, symptoms can take months to years to develop. Symptoms depend on the type of ependymoma and where it’s located in the body. However, since ependymal tumors grow within the brain or spinal cord, compression due to the growing size of the tumor may eventually cause noticeable symptoms....
