In the controversy’s latest twist, the National Transportation Safety Board last week recommended that every baby and infant be required to sit in special child-restraint seats during airline flights. Urging the Federal Aviation Administration to adopt the proposal, NTSB chairman James Kolstad noted that “all objects must be secured during takeoff and landing, including coffee pots and luggage. And yet . . . our precious children are not.” Not surprisingly, the airline industry enthusiastically endorses such a rule....

Scientists already know that sharks do not sleep or rest in the same way mammals do. For example, some sharks must swim constantly, even during sleep, in order to keep oxygen-filled water flowing over their gills. This means they probably enter a state of “rest” rather than sleep. But a study from the School of Life Sciences at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, and the Institute of Marine Science at the University of Auckland, New Zealand has shown that sleep in sharks differs from mammals more significantly than originally thought....

Too many people in baseball are cowardly, or apathetic, or both. MORE: Latino legends of baseball | ESPN under fire for Castro tweet Even worse, they mirror us — the viewing public — almost perfectly. Indulge me first a few words on my spring break vacation because part of why Arizona was the destination rather than, say, Disneyland or skiing in Colorado, is I want my 6-year-old to love baseball the way I did back in St....

Thomas, the University of Pennsylvania athlete who entered the NCAA championships as the top seed amid a record breaking season, became the first transgender NCAA champion in Division I history after winning with a time of 4:33.24. Her appearance at the championship in Atlanta was met with protests from conservative groups and fellow athletes at the Georgia Tech complex and arrived following divisive discussions about whether she or other transgender athletes should be able to take part in competitive sports....

That’s always the first question after the College Football Playoff rankings are released, and this year is no exception after the committee put Alabama in the No. 4 spot ahead of No. 5 Ohio State. This year, we have No. 2 Oklahoma vs. No. 3 Georgia in the Rose Bowl Game and No. 1 Clemson vs. No. 4 Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. MORE: Committee chose Bama over Ohio State for right reasons...

Hill’s been known for his speed dating back to his college days at West Alabama and even before. It’s part of the reason that the 5-10 wide receiver has exceeded all expectations to become one of the top wideouts in the NFL for the Kansas City Chiefs. To say that Hill is only a speed demon is oversimplifying things, but it’s hard to watch Hill play without reaching the conclusion that Hill is indeed very fast....

Still, this wasn’t just a rock extravaganza; all of the activity was supposed to be in service of building global awareness of climate change and what to do about it. Just how Green was Live Earth, really? Large stadium concerts aren’t exactly eco-friendly, and while efforts were made to reduce energy consumption, waste and transportation, it’s unclear just how successful those efforts were. At all seven locations, wind and solar energy was purchased from local utilities to offset the energy demand....

Treatments approved for IBD fall into two categories: those for Crohn’s disease and those for ulcerative colitis. If you have indeterminate colitis, the third type of IBD, you will typically take the treatments that are approved for ulcerative colitis. Prescriptions There are several classes of drugs that may be used to treat IBD. Pharmaceutical treatments have a two-fold goal: to get a flare-up under control and into remission and to keep you in remission by preventing more flare-ups....

Juul bought the 29-story office building in June to house its then-growing workforce, but management told the Chronicle it may sell anyway considering its ongoing effort “to align the company’s organization and financial resources behind key priorities.” Among those priorities: launching Juul products in international markets while decreasing their widespread use among U.S. children, according to company statements. In the past few months alone, the vaping company parted with key leadership and cut more than fifteen percent of its workforce in a two-pronged effort to win back the trust of federal regulators and save money heading into 2020....

Tony Stewart is not that way. He has friends working for him, the people that he trusts the most. He added a new employee and trusted friend for 2014. His name? Kevin Harvick, who left Richard Childress Racing after last season and now will work for his good buddy Stewart.

The Ravens’ superstar quarterback is still in line for a big payday, and a recent report says that there are a few curveballs in negotiations, mainly in the way of fellow recently paid passers. Describing contract talks as an “uphill battle,” Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer says that the Ravens offered Jackson more money than Kyler Murray on average annual value, but the organization doesn’t want to go the fully guaranteed route in the deal....

Despite dealing with cramp, the reigning NFL MVP returned to the field late in the fourth quarter. He threw a 44-yard touchdown pass to Marquise Brown to put the Ravens 42-35 ahead with 1:51 left in the game, before setting up Justin Tucker’s winning field goal with seven seconds left in the fourth quarter after a six-play, 38-yard drive. The AFC North showdown in Cleveland featured nine rushing touchdowns, equaling the joint-most in a single game in NFL history—the previous two instances both occurred in 1922—and the combined 89 points scored made him the third-highest scoring game in Monday Night Football history....

Even those who haven’t witnessed gun violence are constantly exposed to the horrific stories, photos, and videos that emerge in the wake of mass shootings.

According to the Gun Violence Archive, there have been at least 281 mass shootings so far in 2022, resulting in 1,190 injuries and 396 deaths. Experts say living in this reality is having detrimental health effects, both mental and physical, on countless people....

The FDA approved Lyrica for fibromyalgia in June 2007, making it the first drug ever approved for this condition. Lyrica is now one of three FDA-approved fibromyalgia drugs and is the only one that isn’t classified as an antidepressant. The other medications are Cymbalta (duloxetine) and Savella (milnacipran). How Lyrica Works Fibromyalgia is believed to involve over-active nerves and dysregulation of neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) that transmit messages, including pain signals, between brain cells....

On Wednesday night, the Georgia Republican confirmed to The Daily Beast, which broke the news Tuesday about his first unknown child, that he has another son, aged 13, as well as a now-adult daughter whom the public did not know about. He said he fathered his daughter when he was about 20 years old and a star running back on the University of Georgia’s football team. Walker, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, won Georgia’s GOP primary last month, advancing into November’s general election against Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock....

Mata trudged off with a face like thunder, with coach Silvino Louro doing his best to console the playmaker in the aftermath of a very public snub. While it appeared Mourinho had laid a marker down for what may be in store, the manager later apologized publicly, insisting that it was a necessary evil as the Premier League champions bombarded his side in the air in a bid to fight back from 2-1 down....

Morgan took the interview as an occasion to indulge his ugly obsession with tearing Markle down. “I’m sorry, I don’t believe a word she said,” Morgan said, calling Markle “Pinocchio Princess” in a tweet. “I wouldn’t believe it if she read me a weather report,” he said. But though he loves to dish it, apparently this snowflake can’t take it. When Morgan’s (now former) colleague Alex Beresford had the gall to convey to Morgan, in the gentlest of terms, the general public’s exasperation with Morgan’s angry fixation on Markle, Morgan threw a little baby tantrum while on the air and lumped offset....
