The third-year running back was impressive in limited action in 2020, rushing 145 times for 625 yards and two touchdowns in 13 games (five starts) as a rookie after being drafted in the second round out of Florida State. But Akers missed most of the 2021 campaign because of a torn Achilles, and though he made a miraculous comeback late in the season and during the team’s Super Bowl run, he was still far from 100 percent....

The miscreant, oft seen masquerading as the Panthers quarterback when he isn’t murdering the sanctity of the news conference, had the nerve to risk health and trespassing charges. Why? To play with some adorable kids. AKA to be a monster. MORE: A history of Cam’s celebration moves | Cam Quiz: Love or hate him? According to WSOC, Newton asked permission to hop the fence and toss football with seventh graders at the Community School of Davidson — a school located 21 miles due north from Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte....

Geoff Cameron enjoyed an outstanding Copa America last summer and looked ready to be the anchor of the U.S. defense for the foreseeable future, but a knee injury has kept him on the sidelines since the fall. If he can’t recover in the coming weeks, Arena will need to look elsewhere to fill the void. Omar Gonzalez and Steve Birnbaum are the top contenders to step in and start in the March World Cup qualifiers....

Adidas saw its stock price plummet as it faced pressure to cut ties with the rapper — who legally changed his name to Ye last year — after a string of controversial incidents, a number of which were targeted at the Jewish community. The sportswear company today confirmed to Newsweek it had ended its partnership with West, which saw him make billions for the company since 2015 through his Yeezy line of sneakers and clothes....

Ohio State’s passing game is a concern that coach Urban Meyer recognizes. The Buckeyes need to establish a consistent vertical attack, just like 2015. That was the biggest nitpick from No. 2 Ohio State’s 38-17 victory against Indiana at Ohio Stadium on Saturday. J.T. Barrett completed just 9 of 21 passes for 93 yards and a TD and an interception. MORE: Ohio State-Indiana box score “It was just an awkward game,” Meyer said....

Can these orthodox Catholics really sink Rudy? The prevailing wisdom is that a candidate needs a majority of Catholics to win the general election, but since they voted overwhelmingly for Kennedy in 1960, the question of what Catholics want in a politician has become murky. Today “Catholics are divided by income level, political affiliation, socioeconomic status,” says R. Scott Appleby, a historian at Notre Dame. “There is still a Catholic vote, but it’s getting harder and harder to identify....

What You Should Know About Cranberries Cranberries, also known by the scientific name Vaccinium macrocarpon, are a fruit that can be cooked in many ways in savory or sweet dishes. Cranberries are mainly native to the northeastern part of Canada and the United States. Initially used for food and fabric dyes, cranberries were once used to treat infected wounds. The health effects of cranberries have been studied for several conditions, including their effects on heart health, prevention of dental caries (cavities), urinary tract infections, and stomach ulcers....

Bitcoin is Only One Crypto Application Bitcoin is the most popular and well-known crypto protocol, and it often gets used as short-hand for the entire crypto-economic sector. Yet Bitcoin is only one of thousands of crypto-networks, applications and protocols made possible by the blockchain—the game-changing technology that allows two parties to verify a transaction without the need of a trusted third party. The Ethereum blockchain, for example, has enabled hundreds of new lending and investing apps, like Compound, and spawned companies like Orbit, which allows individuals to buy and sell solar power....

Since early on in his presidency, Trump has toyed with the idea of pardoning himself and his family. Speculation that he would do so has intensified in recent days after Democrats aided by a handful of Republicans successfully impeached him. In his final weeks in office, Trump has issued a series of pardons and commutations to allies. Pundits believe that list could be expanded to include members of his immediate family—and even the president himself....

Don’t tell that to Daley Perales, the trainer of Mayweather’s next opponent. Mayweather faces Deji, KSI’s brother, in Dubai on November 13. Although Deji just earned his first boxing win against Fousey, Perales sees a lot in Deji that can make him a serious threat to Mayweather. “Deji’s got better feet, better movement [than Mikuru Asakura]. So a very smart game plan is needed,” Perales told Mirror. “You have to be smart where you choose your battles with Floyd because you don’t want to get in a toe-to-toe war with him; he’s experienced and knows how to make you miss and make you pay for that miss....

the soon-to-be-anointed Democratic presidential nominee was relaxed. “Now,” he said, “I’m ready for next week.” But was he? Riding the wind was easy compared with the task Kerry faced when he sat down on his porch: figuring out how to use his acceptance speech on Thursday night in Boston to win the trust of voters. Writing in his angular script on legal pads, Kerry mixed his ideas with those of three speechwriters and a dozen kibitzers....

Last season, like this, Sadio Mane’s early-season form prompted optimism that Liverpool could mount a viable title challenge. Against Arsenal in August 2016, and against the same club a year later, Mane found the net to cap off irresistible attacking displays as the Reds shredded one of their title rivals. However, last term, like this, Mane’s progress has been cut off at the knees. During the 2016-17 campaign, after adapting seamlessly to life at a higher level after swapping Southampton for Anfield, he travelled to Gabon for the Africa Cup of Nations, and the Reds’ decline in his absence ended any title talk....

The answer to that is complicated, according to health experts. While the vaccine does offer protection against COVID-19, it doesn’t ensure complete safety. Experts say even after vaccination, people will need to take safety precautions. The Vaccine Protects Against Most Severe Cases Both the Moderna and the Pfizer vaccines have efficacy rates over 94%, but even with this high percentage of immunity, vaccinated people could still contract COVID-19. According to Ramin Ahmadi, MD, MPH, chief medical officer for GMED Global LLC, the vaccine protects against the worst infections....

Symptoms of pouchitis can include: more frequent and urgent bowel movementsabdominal crampingrectal bleedingfever Pouchitis typically responds to treatment with antibiotics but can recur in about two-thirds of patients. About 10% of patients experience recurring pouchitis that does not respond to antibiotic therapy. These recurring bouts of pouchitis can cause a decrease in the quality of life for people with a j-pouch. Getting treatment for pouchitis, especially in the period right after surgery, is very important....

“There is an urgent need for the international community to put aside politically motivated aspirations and join efforts to help the Syrians rebuild their country heavily damaged by the war,” the Russian embassy in Washington told Newsweek. “There is always room for cooperation between Russia and the U.S. in Syria.” To do so would necessitate overcoming a rivalry that dates back to the Cold War and remains rife with bad blood over opposing interests and dueling accusations of wrongdoing at home and across the globe....

Using sunscreen in a tanning bed will prevent the bronzing of your skin that you are after. In addition, sunscreen is only effective at blocking natural ultraviolet (UV) rays and not the artificial ones emitted by tanning bed bulbs, which are sometimes stronger (and more dangerous) than the sun. This article reviews the risks of indoor tanning, including skin cancer and premature aging, the base tan myth, and proven sun protection strategies....

It’s a battle far too many are losing. Alcohol abuse costs this country a staggering $185 billion a year in everything from lost workdays to drunken-driving accidents–more than all illegal drugs combined. Six million Americans persistently misuse alcohol, and 8 million more are addicted; 100,000 will die this year from alcohol-related causes. Hospital charts are littered with the complications of chronic heavy drinking–heart disease, stroke, liver failure. Those who are still fighting spend years in and out of treatment, unable to kill the cravings that wreck their lives and, too often, the lives of those close to them....

Actually, it's three bonuses. The games are so good this week, we expanded from 10 games to 13. The big one: No. 1 Alabama at No. 4 Auburn. Who would of thought we'd even be entertaining the notion that the Tigers could upset the Crimson Tide when the season started? Auburn was coming off a 3-9 season, but first-year head coach Gus Malzahn has the Tigers 10-1 and believing in miracles....
