The Panthers announced Tuesday that Newton is being placed on injured reserved. Though surgery is not being considered, the 2011 No. 1 overall pick, who has been dealing with a Lisfranc injury, will now miss the rest of the regular season. “For the past seven weeks, Cam has diligently followed a program of rest and rehab and still is experiencing pain in his foot,” Carolina general manager Marty Hurney said....

Newton had completed nine of his 16 passes for 119 yards and had rushed for 16 yards over seven carries by the time he was replaced by Jarrett Stidham with just over 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Much like the rest of the Patriots offense, Newton endured a dismal night in Los Angeles, throwing a crucial interception in the second quarter and being sacked four times for the second time this season since the Patriots lost 18-12 at home to the Denver Broncos in Week 4....

The demand for “respect” is a direct attack on academic freedom because it is restrictive, subjective and vague. “Respect” can be taken to imply appreciation; it probably rules out mockery, and certainly rules out anything that the target claims to be offensive. We should not be expected to respect patently false opinions on matters like vaccination or climate change where there’s established scientific knowledge. Nor should the university demand respect for political or religious identities....

“Same pain. Same disgust,” Wake told the Palm Beach Post following a 30-17 loss to the Titans. “Same fury. It boils inside you. It doesn’t get any easier. Unfortunately, I’ve experienced it too many times. I want to win. Poop still tastes the same, no matter if it was the first time you tasted it.” MORE: Week 5 Power Rankings His frustration is understandable: Wake has never suited up for a playoff game, nor has he seen a winning season in his NFL career....

Nicolas N’Koulou and Vincent Aboubakar’s second half strikes handed the Lions their fifth African title, despite Mohammed Elneny putting Hector Cuper’s men ahead at the Stade de l’Amitié. Cameroon will face world champions Germany, Chile and Australia in Group B of the preliminary round of the championship. Hugo Broos’ men begin their campaign against Copa America kings Chile at the Spartak Stadium, Moscow on June 18. Four days later, they face Australia in St....

Speaking to Giles Hattersley for British Vogue marking her 75th birthday, Camilla—who married Charles in 2005—said that the media scrutiny and general antipathy towards her during the 1990s was “not easy” to deal with but that “you’ve got to get on with life.” The interview is Camilla’s first for the British fashion bible, which famously featured Diana on its cover four times over the course of her married life....

Five years ago violence stained the historic election campaign that produced South Africa’s first black president. The vote followed months of bloodletting between militants from Nelson Mandela’s ANC and the Zulu-dominated Inkatha Freedom Party, led by a rival, Mangosuthu Buthelezi. That rivalry faded when Mandela brought Buthelezi into his administration. Now another campaign has begun. Two weeks ago Mandela announced that voters will select his replacement on June 2. Another landslide victory for the ANC will put Deputy President Thabo Mbeki in the top job....

This article will explain what you should expect interms of potential out-of-pocket costs if you’re enrolling in a new health plan that starts mid-year. Since deductibles are so expensive, requiring payment of the full annual deductible if you enroll after part of the policy-year is over makes it less likely you’ll reach your deductible that year. In this case, you’ll be less likely to reap the benefit of having your health insurer start to pay post-deductible benefits when you have claims....

How else to explain the gravity-defying feat of the dollar? By all economic logic, the dollar should fall when the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates. But as any American tourist knows, the greenback has been firming up against the euro and the yen despite six rate cuts this year. European and Asian investors are using their savings to buy American bonds even though they can get higher interest rates in their own countries....

The serology test, which requires a blood sample, can determine if a person has antibodies to the new coronavirus in their system. This indicates if they were ever infected with the virus even if they were asymptomatic and didn’t receive the nasal swab test that confirms if a person is presently infected. Since it’s believed that a person will have some sort of immunity to the virus for at least a few months after recovering, officials claim the antibody test could be key in easing restrictions....

Navigation through the various features is via a novel system centered on a clickable “select wheel” that moves a silvery cursor up or down a slim bar, like an elevator moving through a shaft. It’s dead simple to master, but a little slow. The real acid test was whether the Kindle was capable of transporting a reader into that trancelike zone where the world falls away. My suspicion, since I’ve had a Sony Reader (which uses the identical E Ink technology), was that it would, and I was right....

Still, for the Magic brain trust — team president Jeff Weltman and general manager John Hammond — the sight was rousing. Embiid is a sweet-shooting center with a deft passing touch who also can dominate defensively. Weltman and Hammond envision Bamba, in due time, becoming something similar. “I said to Jeff,” Hammond recalled, “‘It’s going to be interesting to see in about five years from now.’ He’s not as naturally big and thick as Joel, but just see who he is five years from now....

A July study published in the journal Infectious Diseases and Therapy looked at the use of a povidone-iodine (PVP-I) nasal antiseptic solution to combat SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. In a controlled lab environment, PVP-I killed SARS-CoV-2 in 15 seconds. The researchers did not explore the use of the product in the human mouth and nose. Samantha Frank, MD, a resident at UConn Health in Connecticut who has studied PVP-I, says that iodine-based antiseptics have already been used in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses and nasal cavity)....

What Makes a Good Blood Donor? In order to donate blood, a person usually must be in good general health, be at least 16 years old (usually), and weigh at least 110 pounds (50 kilograms). This is not because of any concerns about the blood but more out of concern for the donor. A person who is not well might be further compromised by giving blood. When people with chronic illnesses such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are experiencing symptoms, losing blood is not desirable and may even make things worse....

Chelsea become Conte’s blazing inferno Can’s current contract expires in 2018, having arrived from Bundesliga outfit Bayer Leverkusen. But the 22-year-old Germany midfielder said discussions are already underway regarding a new deal. “Yes, the club have spoken to my agent,” Can said. “The talks are going very good. “I have one-and-a-half years left. I am still under contract and it is my agent’s work [to sort it out]. I am very happy here at Liverpool....

Amash, a staunch critic of President Donald Trump, formally left the Republican Party and declared himself an independent on July 4, 2019. The conservative lawmaker, who briefly considered seeking the Libertarian Party’s presidential nomination, also voted alongside House Democrats to impeach Trump in December 2019. In July, Amash officially confirmed that he would not seek re-election. Now, the race to replace him appears close—despite Amash representing a district that historically leans Republican....

For many people, the fragrances and chemicals in certain shampoo may cause an allergic reaction, with symptoms that range from sneezing to contact dermatitis (dry, itchy, and irritated scalp). This article will explore the specific causes of an allergic reaction to shampoo, the signs and symptoms, and how to treat it. What is an Allergic Reaction? When an allergen (an outside element) like pollen or dust enters the body, it causes the immune system to react....

Still, given the news out of Redmond, Wash., this week it’s hard not to see the fake Jobs’s point: Microsoft is relaunching the Zune—its clunky flop of an iPod competitor—this holiday season. They unveiled two new redesigned players in hopes of making inroads in the portable media device market, introduced a revamped software client, and launched a social networking companion Web site. (Without a trace of irony, the first band they selected to feature on their social site is called VHS or Beta....

He’d better. With Hillary Clinton up by as much as 30 percent nationally, the Obama campaign increasingly views Iowa, the only place where Obama polls within 10 points of Clinton, as a must-win proposition—and young Iowans like Sand as a key to victory. In a recent memo, campaign manager David Plouffe wrote that Obama, who often talks about generational change and typically leads Clinton among citizens under 30, will perform better than expected in Iowa solely because “pollsters heavily under-represent” young voters—a “hidden vote” composed of Obama’s “core support … There’s no doubt that we’re going to bring new people to the caucuses,” he tells NEWSWEEK....
