ALMOST EVERY HIGH SCHOOL has a senior prom, but Pennsylvania’s Altoona High may be the only one that throws a seniors’ prom. Twice a year, the students decorate the gym and invite the town’s senior citizens in for a Big Band-style dance. For the last one, more than 600 retirees, including several in wheelchairs, showed up to boogie the night away–at least until 9 p.m., when the crowd tends to nod off....

The August schedule saw the club pick up just two points from three matches away from home, losing to D.C. United and having to come from behind to pick up a 2-2 draw with the Philadelphia Union in the final two matches of that road swing. “We played badly,” Miguel Almiron told Goal after the draw with the Union. “We didn’t come in off a good game, that’s the reality, and we have to accept that....

Only a catastrophic defeat against El Salvador at the Estadio Azteca on the final matchday on Wednesday could even see it risk losing the direct berth that it is currently holding. That defeat would need to be combined with a Costa Rica victory over the USA and enough goals scored in both games to overturn the goal differential tiebreaker that currently favors Mexico (+7 to Costa Rica’s +3). And even if the unlikely were to materialize, in the worst-case scenario Mexico would still land in fourth place, which would give it a spot in June’s intercontinental playoff against New Zealand or the Solomon Islands....

Tsang Chi-kin, an 18-year-old student, was shot in the chest while battling with a police officer earlier this week, as anti-government protesters marked China’s National Day with mass demonstrations. He was rushed to hospital in a critical condition, underwent surgery and was stabilized. Though he remains in hospital, police have already announced that they will charge Tsang with attacking police and rioting, the Associated Press reported. Senior police officials have defended the officer who shot Tsang, arguing the action was taken in self-defense and that the officer feared for his life....

Lam made the announcement in a recorded speech broadcast on Wednesday following talks with allies, advisers and representatives of the Chinese government in Beijing, according to Reuters. The South China Morning Post first reported that the withdrawal was imminent and that Lam hoped the move would reduce tensions following weeks of violent demonstrations. “Incidents over these past two months have shocked and saddened Hong Kong people,” Lam said. “We are all very anxious about Hong Kong, our home....

Terry Willis started walking from his home in from Huntsville, Alabama, toward the Minnesota city on June 2 after seeing the widely shared video of Floyd’s death. The video showed Floyd, a Black man, gasping for air as a white Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck for more than eight minutes on May 25. That officer, Derek Chauvin, has been charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter while three other officers who were also involved in his death are also facing charges....

In pro sports ugly usually begets uglier. And the incident in Oakland where Golden State Warriors star Latrell Sprewell assaulted his coach, P. J. Carlesimo, during a practice was plenty ugly from the start. After the coach scolded him for a lacklu ster effort, a teammate told NEWSWEEK, Sprewell ““went straight playground” on Carlesimo: ““Bitch, you’re gonna trade me or I’m gonna kill you.” Then he apparently decided not to wait for that first option, seizing the coach’s throat....

First the U.S. national team coach developed Horan as a defensive midfielder, hoping the Colorado native could fill the void left by Lauren Holiday’s retirement following the Women’s World Cup. While Horan’s raw talent was apparent, she was a square peg in a round hole. Limited to one start at the 2016 Olympics, Horan began getting minutes up top — a role the 23-year-old has extensively played in the past....

For Rozier to even be able to attempt that shot, Charlotte first needed to: — Control a jump ball at center court. — Get a timeout after Gordon Hayward gained possession but before he was tied up on the floor by Draymond Green. — Hit two game-tying free throws after Green was ejected for arguing the timeout call. Yes, the officials ran Green in that situation. MORE: Green calls out NBA for double standard with players...

The Roger Williams Mausoleum, in Rhode Island, closed around 20 years ago, after its last owner died. Footage from inside the decaying structure shows smashed tombs, open caskets with bones inside, litter, debris, graffiti and crumbling walls. “Walking into an Abandoned Mausoleum where the dead have been forgotten,” TikToker Lamont at Large captioned a video, uploaded last month. The on-screen caption simply said “the abandoned dead” and has amassed more than 5 million views, as Lamont toured the eerie crypt....

Gore acknowledged that he wrongly claimed Deputy David Faiivae overdosed from the powerful opioid after saying the officer had a near-death experience from the exposure. When Faiivae came in contact with the powdered substance on July 3 during a vehicle search, he fell to the ground and struggled to breath. Unedited body camera footage released Thursday captured Faiivae saying he had fallen on his head a few times before and might have had concussions....

Other hospitals around the country have introduced similar systems. In northern California, four hospitals banded together to form the Health Care Interpreter Network, using videoconferencing equipment to share their staff interpreters. Holy Name Hospital in New Jersey, which subscribes to a service like LAN’s, plans to equip ambulances with new units that will provide translation services at accident sites. Those who have used the videoconferencing technology say it’s a vast improvement over telephone interpreting services, which require handing the phone back and forth and can be awkward....

With intensive care unit beds filling up to between 90 percent and 100 percent capacity in some places, largely driven by the Delta variant surge, many hospitals are being forced to consider enacting “crisis standards of care,” which is considered a last resort system of prioritizing the patients who are most likely to survive in a disaster situation and rationing the dwindling hospital resources available. The entire state of Idaho has enacted “crisis standards of care” according to an announcement from the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare (DHW) on Thursday....

“We thought this would be a fun and unique way to get the word out about vasectomies for men,” Sean “Big Daddy” Porter said to Newsweek. Porter owns Daddy’s Dog’s, a hot dog restaurant in Nashville, Tennessee. “It’s a way to put the ball in the guy’s court, and will hopefully also help break the stigma that comes along with men’s health,” he said. After the fall of Roe v....

Although some mail-in ballots are still being tabulated, Trump has yet to acknowledge the projected election victory of President-elect Joe Biden. Trump’s re-election campaign has filed lawsuits in battleground states seeking ballot recounts or alleging election manipulation. Trump claimed to win a second term after the November election and accused Democrats of attempting to “steal” the election from him. The president’s claims were widely pronounced to be unsubstantiated. Clyburn told CNN host Chris Cuomo on Tuesday that the concept of state legislatures substituting Democrat electors with Republicans in order to give Trump a second term was unlikely, but had historical precedent....
