After showing Trump enduring loyalty through controversies, investigations and impeachments, in the last six weeks Pence has tried to uncoupled himself from the former president, taking actions to move out of Trump’s shadow. The rift between the two has been clear since June 2021, when Pence said for the first time that he will likely never see eye to eye with the former president on the violent mob of Trump supporters which attacked the Capitol on January 6....

Lip service about the importance of “our fans” — especially by commissioner Rob Manfred — was followed over and over by evidence that fans just didn’t rate very high on the negotiation priority list, if they were even there at all. By now, you know the basic tenets of the neglect: The lockout was put in place on Dec. 2 and MLB didn’t make a proposal for 43 days. When the owners did make proposals, there was no movement toward what any rational being could construe as an attempt to make anything other than a my-way-or-the-highway deal....

Sarver’s statement comes a week after he was suspended for one year and fined $10 million by the NBA for “workplace misconduct and organizational deficiencies.” The league commissioned an independent investigation into Sarver’s behavior following an in-depth report by ESPN’s Baxter Holmes early in the 2021-22 season. The investigation found that Sarver used “racially insensitive language; unequal treatment of female employees; sex-related statements and conduct; and harsh treatment of employees that on occasion constituted bullying....

That's what the NHL fined the Colorado Avalanche's new, crazy coach on Thursday for his outburst the night before, when he nearly pushed over a glass partition separating his bench from the Anaheim Ducks. His target was Bruce Boudreau, but that's barely relevant. After the game, Boudreau said Roy was yelling at the Ducks players, so he approached the partition. Coach Roy, your response? "What Boudreau said was all lies....

As of the week ending on November 4, the U.S. had 106.263 million barrels left in stock, the equivalent of 26 days of supply according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA). That means that, in the unlikely scenario in which all U.S. refineries across the country were to suddenly shut down, the country would have enough diesel to cover 26 days. The latest data shared by the EIA shows that diesel inventories have been slightly replenished compared to a month ago, when news that the U....

Additionally, there are some tests that can help confirm the diagnosis. Samples of saliva or cells obtained from inside your mouth can detect evidence of the virus or the immune cells that fight it. Imaging tests can identify some of the complications of mumps. Self-Checks/At-Home Testing If you or your child has not received the immunization for mumps, there is a risk of becoming sick with the infection. And sometimes people who have been vaccinated can be at risk of contracting the infection if they become immunocompromised....

Over the years, there have been many research studies that have proven the benefits of oatmeal in lowering cholesterol levels. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is convinced. Oatmeal was one of the first foods to carry the heart healthy distinction on its label because of promising research findings. How Oatmeal Helps It is thought that the oat fibers in the oatmeal mix with cholesterol in the small intestine, then bind to the cholesterol molecules and carry it out of the body instead of it being absorbed into the blood....

Understanding Your Risks Based on Your Body Weight As Americans and people throughout the world consume more calories and engage in less physical activity, the number of people who are overweight and obese continues to grow. This jeopardizes health in obvious ways as obesity has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. It also may have surprising consequences that may correlate with the degree of obesity. The most commonly used measure to correlate weight and height is the body mass index (BMI)....

The Raiders, previously based in Oakland, California, beat the New Orleans Saints in their first home game at the Allegiant Stadium. “It’s our pleasure to welcome the Raiders to fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada,” Flowers said before the half-time performance. “I think we have just the song for the occasion.” And yes—they did play “Mr. Brightside.” You can watch the performance here. Flowers began trending on Twitter during the performance, with many commenting on how well the 39-year-old Nevada native is aging....

Health-related misinformation is rampant on social media—a phenomenon that’s only worsened throughout the pandemic. But some experts are taking matters into their own hands and using their online platforms to share essential information within their communities while debunking myths related to health and wellness. Arizona-based OB-GYN Ali Rodriguez, MD, is doing just that. Rodriguez, who has 1.4 million followers on TikTok (as well as large followings on Instagram and YouTube), uses her platform to answer questions, discredit misinformation, and share important tips related to reproductive health....

Following the removal of his security, military honors, and patronages as part of his royal exit, the prince has opened up in a number of high-profile media appearances about his motivations for leaving and the strained state of affairs with his family back home. While Harry appears to have decided to keep an open dialogue about his family since 2021, the royals have adopted their default “no comment” defense of “never complain, never explain....

After a three-year hiatus, of sorts, Madden, 50, is doing just that—and he’s not letting himself be rattled by critics. In the mid-’90s, Madden was a rock star to millions of young women who couldn’t get enough of his affordable bejeweled platforms and big-toed clogs. The college dropout who’d gotten his start peddling shoes on Long Island was Manhattan royalty, holding court in his SoHo flagship and sitting courtside at Knicks games....

Though far from risk-free, the blood supply is now safer than ever. Thanks to universal screening for the AIDS virus (HIV), the odds of getting infected from a transfusion are less than one in 40,000. Yet the task of testing and tracking 6 million units of blood each year has overwhelmed the Red Cross’s antique administrative system. Last year a federal investigation found that the organization had failed to inform the government of hundreds of potentially dangerous clerical errors....

To determine the severity of your psoriasis, a healthcare provider will assess three things: The percentage of skin affected The characteristics of the lesions (referred to as plaques) The impact of the disease on your daily life Levels of Psoriasis Based on Body Surface Area Arguably, the most important factor in assessing the severity of psoriasis is the amount of skin involved. This will not only direct which treatment options are appropriate, but it can also provide insights into the emotional effects of the disease....

Alongside skateboarding, three new sports join the Tokyo 2020 roster: surfing, karate and sports climbing. Baseball and softball are making their return to the competition after a 13-year absence.

In total, 80 skateboarders from 26 countries are scheduled to compete—40 men and 40 women. We break down how the skateboarding competition works, and when it is broadcast....

But Wright is not the warrior he expected to be or that he was first trained to be. When he became a young infantry officer out of West Point in 2000, he entered an Army whose mission was to win wars by overwhelming force. This was the Army that blasted its way into Baghdad in less than three weeks in the spring of 2003. It is also the Army whose guns-blazing tactics helped fuel an angry insurgency, and that quickly became bogged down—worn, bloodied and baffled—by IEDs and street fighting in Iraq....

I understood his sentiments. The thought of signing up for military service in post-Vietnam America evoked images of dope-smoking teenagers wandering the jungle. The “praise the Lord and pass the ammunition” days of World War II just didn’t seem realistic in 1989. I thought of military enlistment as custom-made for boneheads not bright enough to further their education, or talented enough to do anything else. If that was the case, then I fit the mold at 19....
