The hearing took place after more than a week of protests swept through the U.S. in response to the death of George Floyd, a black man who died while in police custody in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25. Though some protesters have worn face coverings in recognition of official health guidelines established during the pandemic, the preventative action was not universal, as photos displayed during the hearing demonstrated. Some individuals in large crowds, such as beachgoers, have also been photographed without masks....

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia declined an emergency request by a group of Realtors and landlords to lift the new moratorium, issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on August 3 as millions of Americans remain behind on their rent amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The ban temporarily halts evictions in counties with “substantial and high levels” of COVID-19 transmissions. About 90 percent of the U....

“Children who are medically complex, who have serious genetic, neurologic, metabolic disorders, and with congenital (since birth) heart disease might be at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19,” the CDC says. At the beginning of the pandemic, children were thought to be at a lower risk for contracting the virus compared to adults. Kelly Fradin, MD, a board-certified pediatrician and author of Parenting in a Pandemic: How to help your family through COVID-19, tells Verywell that this misconception can be attributed to the substantial testing shortages at the time....

CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky signed off on the recommendation, announced at approximately 7:45 p.m. Eastern Time, marking the first opportunity in the U.S. for children under 12 to receive the vaccine.

Nearly two-thirds of the American Indian/Alaska Native and Black/African American study participants tested positive for HIV, as did one-third of the Hispanic/Latina transgender women surveyed, compared to 17% of White transgender women. The CDC is calling it one of the most comprehensive surveys of transgender women in the U.S. “These data provide a clear and compelling picture of the severe toll of HIV among transgender women and the social and economic factors—including systemic racism and transphobia—that are contributing to this unacceptable burden,” Demetre Daskalakis, MD, MPH, director of CDC’s Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention said in a statement....

Aspen has always mixed snow with stars. Jon Bon Jovi, Kurt Russell, Goldie Hawn, Elle Macpherson, Vanna White and Michael Eisner were all there. And Jack Nicholson joined Ed Bradley, Reggie Jackson and a hundred or so other luminaries at the most exclusive New Year’s Eve bash in town, at Freedom–the club so cool it doesn’t even have a sign out front. Old movies played inside (“Goldie loved “The Wizard of Oz’, " says the owner), and jeans were the dress of choice....

According to Scott Gorelick, founder and CEO of Concrete Real Estate, bigger is better—especially when it comes to acreage. “Celebrities are all looking for a big land grab,” Gorelick, who has worked with Grammy Award winners, Academy Award winners, executives of Fortune 500 companies and more, told Newsweek. “As properties continue to increase in price, celebrities like Adam Levine and Chris Pratt and Ashton Kutcher and Ellen DeGeneres are all heading to Carpinteria, just south of Santa Barbara along the coast, for large-scale properties with amazing amenities and tons of off-the-beaten path privacy....

The Heat struck first with a comeback win in Game 1, only for the Celtics to respond with a dominant Game 2 victory. In Game 3, Miami made its mark early but almost ran out of gas, as Boston’s comeback attempt from 26 points down fell just short. While the Heat hold a 2-1 series lead, they’ve only won two of a possible 12 quarters in the series: the third quarter of Game 1 and the first quarter of Game 3....

Well, they did, but it was interrupted by a pretty intense basebrawl between the two in-state rivals. This isn't the first collegiate basebrawl of the season, that honor goes to Florida State and Florida. But that was a mere scuffle compared to this. Central Arkansas went on to win the game, 5-4 in 11 innings.

It was a walk in the park for the Red and Golds who blew away their underprepared opponents. Southern Samity were no match for the giants. Khalid Jamil fielded an unchanged starting XI from the previous match. Right winger Laldanmawia scored the opening goal of the match taking advantage of a misunderstanding between the Southern Samity defenders. Rakesh Masih passed back to defender Dalraj Singh who completely misjudged it. Ralte got hold of the ball and comfortably found the back of the net....

Joseph Biden, Jr. Immigration is not listed as a priority issue on the campaign website of Sen. Biden (D-DE). As chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Biden has focused efforts on the problems in Iraq. He said in November 2006 that Mexico’s corruption, inequality, and its “erstwhile democracy” (AP) are to blame for illegal immigration. Along with most of his colleagues in the Senate, Biden voted for the Secure Fence Act of 2006, which authorized the construction of a 700-mile fence on the border of the U....

Joseph Biden, Jr. Although Sen. Biden (D-DE) initially supported the war in 2002, he has become one of its fiercest critics in the Senate. With Leslie Gelb, president emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, Biden proposed a five-point plan (PDF) for the future of Iraq. The plan calls for a federalized Iraq with three regional governments (Kurd, Sunni Arab, and Shiite Arab) and a centralized government for management of “truly common interests” like oil and border defense....

Hedrick says it’s a feeling that top athletes get, whether it’s an Olympic gold medal, a Super Bowl championship, a world record or anyone who reaches the top of their craft. It’s a feeling of both emptiness and loneliness. It’s a dejection of friendships and sometimes not understanding how to be a better father or mother, or even a better daughter or son. It’s something he rarely talks about when recounting his prowess as an athlete who eventually glided into the National Speed Skating Hall of Fame....
