“He’s primed to break out.” “He’s a fraud.” “He doesn’t get enough separation in route.” “He doesn’t need that much separation to win at catch point.” “He was horribly inefficient compared to his teammates.” “He was a rookie receiver in Green Bay.” Those are just a few of the major battlegrounds on the Adams front. There are educated arguments to be made for and against drafting Adams, but exactly where we’re even arguing about keeps changing....

Newsweek asked two experts —retired judge Nancy Gertner and assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin Law School Joshua Braver—to explain whether adding more justices to the Supreme Court is possible at all, how likely such a move is to succeed and why some Democrats are asking for it to happen, while others oppose it. Has The Court Been Expanded Before? The Constitution does not set a specific size for the Supreme Court, and its current number of nine justices is just a 150-year-old practice....

Research suggests migraine attacks may be longer and more severe in people with dry eye syndrome than those without it. There are also similarities in the underlying mechanisms that cause dry eyes and migraines or headaches to occur. Why Dry Eye Occurs Dry eye syndrome (also known as dry eye disease) is a complex condition involving impaired tear function and eye surface abnormalities. Dry eye syndrome is often caused by one of the following factors:...

The 2018 World Cup champions will set out to defend their title, but recent struggles have seen doubts creep in. The most recent result, a 2-0 loss to Denmark on Sunday in the September international window, saw old problems and injury concerns leave France again scratching their heads. Les Blues picked up just one win across six Nations League matches in a group with Croatia, Austria, and Denmark. They topped Austria 2-0 on September 22, but the sighs of relief didn’t last long as they fell to defeat in Denmark days later, with many of the old problems creeping back in....

In a statement released Thursday, the agency modified previous guidelines that recommended men who have had sex with men wait 12 months before donating blood, shortening the “deferral” period to three months. “The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented challenges to the U.S. blood supply,” wrote Peter Marks, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, noting the “dramatic reduction in donations due to the implementation of social distancing and the cancellation of blood drives....

Breakthrough Cases Happen Breakthrough cases occur at low levels with all vaccinations. For example, they occur in children immunized against varicella (chickenpox) and in adults immunized against the flu. In a March 2021 White House press briefing on COVID-19, Anthony Fauci, MD, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, explained that breakthrough infections are possible. “You will see breakthrough infections in any vaccination when you’re vaccinating literally tens and tens and tens of millions of people,” Fauci said....

In response, Goodell is turning to virtual reality training at Stanford University’s Virtual Human Interaction Lab. MORE: Fantasy football draft strategy | Roger Goodell meets with Josh Gordon “He came here to learn about empathy,” Stanford professor Jeremy Bailenson told Recode.net. “He really wanted to understand how to think about issues of race, issues of gender. A lot of our lab’s research is about having people think about becoming someone else, and that’s why Goodell came....

But it is becoming increasingly apparent that tackling the coronavirus challenge is going to take a huge cross-sector effort—one in which engineers have important roles to play alongside their biomedical colleagues. In the UK, this first reached public notice with the UK government’s appeal to the engineering community to urgently scale up ventilator manufacturing, eliciting thousands of offers of help from manufacturers of everything from Formula 1 cars to aircraft engines....

Speaking to Newsweek exclusively are two moms who have taken co-parenting to a new level. Michelle Ellsworth, 39, and Janica LaRae, 36, have gone against the “norm” and became the best of friends despite Janica once being married to Seth Ellsworth, 40. In 2022, a step-sibling isn’t unusual, as sixteen percent of US children live in blended families and 1,300 new 1300 new stepfamilies are formed each day according to the U....

With this condition, since the brain relies on one eye more heavily, it causes the other eye’s visual pathway through the brain not to develop properly. This affects around 3 out of 100 kids and is the most common cause of vision loss in children. Amblyopia also can cause problems or even visual impairment in adults if something happens to the better eye. The risk associated with leaving amblyopia untreated include:...

The likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City were among those to pay large sums to bolster their ranks. But no team spent more than Barcelona, who used some of their Neymar money to splash out £117 million on Philippe Coutinho, Yerry Mina and Ballou Tabla. As always, the transfer window was filled with rumours and it’s often easy to lose track of what’s going on. But let’s see how closely you were paying attention....

It’s not quite what you’re thinking, though. Yes, the research may be showing some promise (although it remains extremely experimental and unproven), but it’s pretty unlikely your physician will ultimately prescribe a vial of hookworm larvae to treat your condition. Instead, the researchers hope to learn exactly what it is about the admittedly yucky-sounding hookworm that may trigger positive changes in your small intestine, and then turn that knowledge into a non-yucky drug....

The men’s final will be played Sunday, with Roger Federer going for a record eighth Wimbledon title and 18th Grand Slam championship against 2011 winner Novak Djokovic. Kvitova outplayed Bouchard, a 20-year-old Canadian playing in her first major final, with her big serve, aggressive returns and flat ground strokes. Kvitova, the 2011 champion, put on a clinic of power tennis, ripping baseline winners off both wings and leaving Bouchard looking helpless....

Radulov, a 30-year-old goal-scoring winger, has played in the KHL since 2012, when he missed curfew and was suspended for two games of Nashville’s playoff loss to the Coyotes. MORE: NHL free agency live blog, analysis, rumors That’d be amazing enough on its own — but Shea Weber, Montreal’s return for Subban, was the captain of the Predators. The captain! And he was one of the guys that wanted Radulov to come to Nashville midseason in the first place....

Cancer Treatments That May Affect Hearing Chemotherapy from the “platinum” group, such as cisplatin or high doses of carboplatin. Platinum chemotherapy and aminoglycoside antibiotics damage sensory hair cells in the inner ear, causing sensorineural hearing loss. Most often, the effect is similar in both ears and is permanent. High doses of radiation to the head or brain, especially if the beam was directed to the brainstem or ear. Radiation to the ear or brain can cause inflammation or ear wax buildup in the outer ear, problems with fluid buildup in the middle ear, or stiffness of the eardrum or middle ear bones....

Owens shared footage of the end of an interview she did with Trump, showing she and Trump briefly chatting on screen before the former president asks for the camera to be turned off. “If my team were as unethical and dishonest as the snake @piersmorgan, we would have sensationally edited this clip of Trump to make it look like he threw a tantrum and asked the cameras to be shut off when in reality—the interview was over and we simply wanted to chat off-camera,” Owens wrote on Twitter....

The tiny rodents are eating their way through native insects, seabirds, and plants that are not found anywhere else. The findings of the study were published in the PeerJ - Life and Environment journal. The mice were introduced to the Farallon Islands, 30 miles off San Francisco, by 19th-century sailors. Their population has since soared to about 50,000, inhabiting an area roughly the size of two football fields. There is now a proposed plan by the US Fish and Wildlife Service to eradicate them....

We may never know unless the Roman Catholic Church has a change of heart. The Vatican has never had its books audited. Without some public accounting, how will parishioners feel about giving money to pay for the sins of the fathers? The Catholic Church is estimated to have spent $1 billion in the past decade defending priests charged with sexual misbehavior. It will take many millions more to settle just the lawsuits we know about....

With a photo-ready smile and a confident manner, Hillary Clinton took the same seat she occupied 12 years ago when she accompanied her husband to meet with the Washington press. He was running for president, and she was there to convince reporters that their marriage was intact despite the stories of Bill Clinton’s womanizing. Now reporters want to know if she is running for president. There were a half dozen attempts to get Clinton to say something other than her stock answer that she has no plans to run in 2004....
