On Thursday, Colorado Attorney General Phil Wesier announced that Siegfried Emme, the owner of Loveland Medical Clinic, would be fined for failing “to stop illegally marketing and overstating the effectiveness of alleged cures for COVID-19.” Ivermectin is an anti-parasite drug that is often used in animals. While some have touted it as a treatment for COVID-19, the FDA has warned that people should not use the drug for treating the virus....

Appointed head of the EPA by then-President Donald Trump, Pruitt resigned in 2018 from leading the agency in response to a string of corruption scandals. Since then, Pruitt returned to Oklahoma, where he previously served as the state’s attorney general. Senator James Inhofe’s retirement created an opening for Pruitt’s political comeback. But Oklahoma’s GOP voters had little appetite to return Pruitt to office. The most-recent vote count has Pruitt with just 5 percent of the vote in the crowded GOP Senate primary....

In the latest ESPN magazine special edition for which athletes grin and bare (nearly) all, three Colts starters — left tackle Anthony Castonzo, right guard Todd Herremans and right tackle Jack Mewhort — are featured inside. PHOTOS: NFL All-Muscle Team | ESPN Body Issue covers The reaction has been, well, interesting. While Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was deemed worthy for one of six covers, Castonzo, Herremans and Mewhort represent the taller, heavier grunts that make up most of the league....

Carson Wentz was placed on the COVID list on Tuesday, Dec. 28. The 28-year-old quarterback is unvaccinated, so under the NFL’s updated rules, he will need to quarantine for a minimum of five days before returning to the team, meaning the Colts will need to prepare as if they won’t have Wentz for this Sunday’s game, just in case. Indianapolis is currently 9-6 and are the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoff race....

A source told Sporting News that Ray “Bubba” Ventrone will fill that role on new head coach Frank Reich’s staff in Indianapolis. Ventrone had served as New England’s assistant special teams coach the past three seasons. As an undrafted college free agent from Villanova, Ventrone developed into a standout special-teams player himself while playing for New England (2005-08), Cleveland (2009-10) and San Francisco (2013-14).

They have some major obstacles to scale the next five weeks, taking them into mid-December. But considering what they’ve done since starting 0-2, and specifically what they did Sunday in the Superdome against Washington, there are fewer reasons to doubt them every day. There was even some scattered talk about the Super Bowl year of 2009 in their locker room, talk that was smartly dismissed by the veterans. It is early for that....

KOMO News reported that King was contracted to perform on the M/S Westerdam for a two-week cruise around Asia. The vessel left port in Hong Kong on February 1 with Shanghai as its next destination, but it was not allowed to dock due to concerns over the coronavirus, officially known as COVID-19. The ship was refused entry in five other countries before being allowed to dock in Cambodia. Once docked, the cruise line began returning passengers and crew to their home countries....

For Detroit, that’s no small question. In the roaring ’90s, cars have ceased to be the Motor City’s main business. Pickups, minivans and sport utility vehicles now make up almost half the automotive industry’s sales–and most of the Big Three’s profits. But after a decade of setting record after record, the truck boom may be running out of road. Minivan sales are flat, compact pickup sales are declining and though kid-carrying, grocery-hauling SUVs are still hot–some, like the Suburban, have waiting lists-they’re starting to carry rebates and incentives after years of commanding full sticker price....

The prestigious annual award, which has been both recognising and ranking the finest players on the planet since 2008, was last year presented to Lionel Messi, who inspired Barcelona to a thrilling treble triumph. After receiving the trophy, the Argentine ace told Goal: “It was a very complete year in which I enjoyed a lot of success and we reached all of our goals. “I always say that, for me, the most important awards are collective ones, the ones that recognize us as the best at the end of the season....

To say the least, it’s been a tumultuous stretch of football for Washington for the last, well, 30 years or so. From franchise ownership ineptitude to constant rebranding to Carson Wentz, the team has had to navigate some troubled waters. This season should be the start of a bit of stability. Well, at least when it comes to their uniforms. In February, the franchise in the nation’s capital officially ditched the Washington Football Team nickname and went with the Commanders moniker instead, ending a two-plus year saga of wondering what the team’s new name would be....

Under current state law, women must have two visits with a doctor, get a written statement saying it’s possible the abortion can be stopped by not taking the second pill and wait at least three days before receiving the pills. The new rule, proposed by the state’s health department and initiated by Governor Kristi Noem via executive order, would require a third doctor’s appointment where the pregnant woman is monitored as she takes the second pill....

The approval of a vaccine by the FDA doesn’t mean that it will automatically be added to the list of vaccines required for school (or covered by insurance, for that matter). In many cases, it will, but it doesn’t hurt to check just to be sure. DTaP Vaccine DTaP is a combination vaccine that protects against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough). Most children will have gotten five doses by the time they start school, including one after their fourth birthday....

Only about a third of patients with SAH have a “good result” after treatment. As if this wasn’t enough, subarachnoid hemorrhage can set off a cascade of other problems. To safeguard against these further complications, victims of subarachnoid hemorrhage are monitored in an intensive care unit after they first come into the hospital. There are four major complications to subarachnoid hemorrhage. Those complications are vasospasm, hydrocephalus, seizures, and rebleeding....

During a Wednesday appearance on the daytime TV show The View, Rice told the group of co-hosts that she believes that the riot was completely “wrong.” Joy Behar then mentioned former President Donald Trump’s rising poll numbers among Republican voters and the steady support he’s received even after the January 6 riot. “He wants to move past that, but according to what I’m reading he seems to be out of step with his own voters,” said Behar....

Cassano: Joining Real Madrid was my biggest mistake On Friday, the fixture between Deportivo La Coruna and Real Betis was called off because of the strong winds across the northwest region of Spain.
