C.W. Bush = In rare prime-time press conf, tries to play Gary Cooper, but everybody knows he’s Quick Draw McGraw. Allies = For Old Europe it’s not about disarming Iraq but containing the U.S. The victim? U.N. credibility. Khalid - Qaeda chief faces torture, execution. Even worse: Joey-Buttafuoco-with- a-hangover mug shot. Supremes - Life without parole for stealing videos not cruel and unusual punishment? More “Les Miz” than “1776.” Dole/ Clinton + First time history, second time farce....

Officer Eddie Colbert is facing a 15-day suspension without pay and 45-day probation. He then will be required to attend the anger management classes once he returns to work, The Vicksburg Post reported. The incident occurred Sunday when Colbert and five other officers were called to a disturbance in downtown Vicksburg. The video, originally posted to Facebook and shared with Jackson’s 16 WAPT News, shows Colbert throwing the suspect, John Dolley, to the ground....

The Selecao is aiming to win a ninth continental title and bringing a 12-year wait for a major trophy to an end—Confederation Cups don’t count—in the process. Brazil has won the Copa America each of the four times it has hosted it and is the heavy favorite ahead of Sunday, having yet to concede a goal in the tournament. The hosts eliminated Argentina in the semifinals and have lost just once in the last 31 matches, when they were knocked out by Belgium in the quarterfinals of the 2018 World Cup....

Asthma is a chronic lung condition causing inflammation in the airways and restricting the flow of air. COPD is a condition involving the restriction of large airways and the breakdown of air sacs. COPD makes it more difficult for air to flow through the lungs and makes the exchange of gases less effective. Respiratory conditions like these are often chronic. Still, if you have one of these conditions, there are some changes you can make to help strengthen your lungs....

The mega bust took place across 12 properties on the party island of Ibiza on August 29, with 12 people arrested so far. The suspects are accused of crimes against public health, illicit possession of firearms, and belonging to a criminal organization. Meanwhile, cops in Colombia arrested two alleged members of the gang after they arrived in the country apparently to negotiate with drug producers. Along with the alleged gang members, police in Spain seized 28 pounds of pink cocaine....

The 33-year-old right-hander has been diagnosed with an internal oblique strain and will be shut down from throwing, the team announced Tuesday. Kluber will be re-evaluated in two weeks and his time frame to “return to game activity is to be determined.” Kluber suffered the injury during a rehab start with the Triple-A Columbus Clippers last weekend and left the game after just one inning. He was reportedly scheduled to throw 75-80 pitches in the matchup but instead threw just 20, walking a pair of batters without giving up a hit or a run....

Sometimes referred to as “ring around the pupil,” this condition is known as corneal arcus. More specifically, it is called arcus senilis in people in their 60s and up and arcus juvenilis in younger people. Corneal arcus may appear as an arc above or beneath the cornea. Or it may form a ring around the cornea. While it is often considered benign, evidence suggests that it may be predictive of heart disease in younger people....

The tests were administered to 1,000 members of the New York City Fire Department (FDNY), including emergency medical technicians, and 1,000 members of the New York City Police Department (NYPD). Initial results showed about 17 percent of those tested at FDNY carried coronavirus antibodies, as did 10.5 percent of those at NYPD. Of all 2,000 people sampled, about 16 percent tested positive overall. Cuomo said the state would administer another 1,000 antibody tests to transit workers employed by the MTA, State Police and Department of Corrections and Community Supervision before the end of the day on Wednesday....

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told Agence France-Presse last Wednesday that the Western military alliance planned “no cancellation of exercises” related to the spread of the COVID-19 disease across Europe. However, a week later, host nation Norway called off Cold Response 20, a maneuver being conducted alongside the larger Defender-Europe 20 exercise that was supposed to send 20,000 U.S. troops to Europe in their largest deployment there in a quarter-century....

The stark conclusions come from a research team at Columbia University which examined a New York Times database of known cases and linked it with Census Bureau data on commuting patterns and other data that were available through March 13. The study found the virus was spread mostly by those who were unaware they are infected, or only displaying mild symptoms and that each infected person spreads it to an average of 2....

The tournament—tennis’ second-biggest in the U.S. behind only the U.S. Open—was due to begin on Monday in California but tournament organizers have opted to postpone it instead. “We are prepared to hold the tournament on another date and will explore options,” tournament director Tommy Haas said in a statement. The field this year included Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal—the world No. 1 and No. 2 in the men’s tournament—23-time Grand Slam winner Serena Williams, former U....

One of the areas that scientists are witnessing a big difference is in air quality. It seems that the pandemic is already leading to huge reductions in air pollution in those regions that have been significantly affected by COVID-19—such as China and Italy—as industry, aviation and other forms of transport grind to a halt. “Air pollution levels as observed by satellite are showing drastic improvements in many areas that have been undergoing restrictive quarantines due to COVID-19,” Peter DeCarlo, an Associate Professor of Environmental Health Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, told Newsweek....

“Although the COVID-19 crisis is, in the first instance, a physical health crisis, it has the seeds of a major mental health crisis as well, if action is not taken,” the brief states. “Psychological distress in populations is widespread. Many people are distressed due to the immediate health impacts of the virus and the consequences of physical isolation.” In addition to the mental stress created by the spread of the coronavirus and physical isolation, the brief says, many people across the globe are affected by economic turmoil, frequent rumors about the outbreak and even the uncertainty about the future after the pandemic....

Since the overturn of Roe v. Wade last summer, more and more companies are choosing not only to incentivize abortion, but to disincentivize their employees to have kids. These corporations are implicitly encouraging their female employees to end the lives of their own children. Working mothers should be accommodated and encouraged by their employers. Companies that slash family benefits, or encourage their employees towards abortion through company policy, should be penalized by workers and customers....

Baksheesh in Egypt, dash in Kenya, mordida in Mexico – corruption is everywhere, and ancient: Mercury probably ran a crooked messenger service on Mount Olympus. Anti-corruption laws are just as old: ““Neither shalt thou take bribes,’’ God told Moses, ““which blind the wise and pervert the words of the just.’’ But in the last year the politics and economics of graft have absorbed businessmen and policymakers to an extent rarely seen before....

Costa was left out of Spain’s Euro 2016 squad by former coach Vicente del Bosque, but returned to the starting XI as Julen Lopetegui’s first World Cup qualifying campaign at the helm kicked off with an 8-0 demolition of Liechtenstein. The Brazil-born striker scored two goals in that match and has done enough to keep hold of his place for this week’s clash between two giants of European football....

Alabama rolled over the Spartans, 38-0, thanks to 28 second-half points and a dominant defensive effort from start to finish. The Tide have already opened as a 7-point favorite over Clemson in the national title game.

Experts agree that vaccinations are the best way to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, but it’s also known that vaccinated people can still transmit the virus. The University of Pennsylvania researchers are hoping that their chewing gum will give people a low-cost way to further prevent COVID-19 from spreading. “This gum offers an opportunity to neutralize the virus in the saliva, giving us a simple way to possibly cut down on a source of disease transmission,” Henry Daniell, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine and leader of the research, told Penn Today....

Bill Belichick turns 66. Tom Brady turns 41. New England coordinators Matt Patricia and Josh McDaniels reportedly are taking new jobs and Rob Gronkowski didn’t commit to his future after the Patriots lost 41-33 to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 52 on Sunday. That’s going to lead to the same-old conjecture that the New England dynasty is done, but that can’t be true until somebody from the AFC steps up and ends that dominance....

Abrams, a voting rights activist, nearly won the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race and was instrumental in Democrats winning two Senate seats in the runoff, giving them control of Congress. While currently focused on passing voting rights legislation, Abrams has expressed the desire to serve as president of the United States and hasn’t entirely ruled out a 2024 bid. Only one elected president, Franklin Pierce, has lost his party’s nomination and it’s customary for incumbent presidents to secure their party’s nomination without a fight....
