The question noted he is on the verge of his 100th career victory in the NFL, and it asked how best to describe his performance to date: Great success 2. Above average 3. Below average 4. Great failure Now, Twitter polls are unscientific, but they’re superior to, say, the call-in voting for “Dancing With The Stars.” You can only vote once unless you’ve got multiple Twitter accounts. You have to see the poll to be included, and you have to click to vote, but such a large volume of respondents gives us an idea there is some weight to the results....

The Cincinnati Bengals had three defenders covering Johnson in the end zone, yet somehow, Johnson came down with the football.

Lions general manager Martin Mayhew told reporters Wednesday that Johnson's knee surgery was a relatively minor arthroscopic procedure. Johnson missed two games last season because of his knee ailment. He finished with 1,492 yards receiving and 12 touchdowns, earning a spot on The Associated Press NFL All-Pro team for a third straight year. Johnson pulled out of the Pro Bowl because of his injuries and was replaced by Chicago's Alshon Jeffery....

In a video titled, “My Side of the Story,” on his YouTube channel, Newton told his father, Cecil Newton Sr., that while he would have been ready to backup Mac Jones, he thought the rookie QB “would’ve been uncomfortable” with Newton as the backup. “The reason why they released me is because, indirectly, I was going to be a distraction,” Newton said. “Just my aura. And that’s just — and I told you this off camera — that’s my gift and my curse....

Annan is taking a lot of heat for abandoning a destitute nation. Without question, Cambodians need an accounting for their past–desperately. But don’t blame Annan, who had to protect his own institution. A courtroom farce with U.N. assistance would serve only to increase Cambodia’s frustration while damaging the United Nations. Instead, put the blame where it belongs: on Cambodia’s astutely manipulative leader, Prime Minister Hun Sen. Hun Sen has never wanted a fair tribunal–though he would accept a sham trial to increase international aid....

During halftime of Sunday’s Eagles-Chiefs game, a camera guy ran across the field and right into a dancing cheerleader. She never saw him coming: MORE: Tony Romo is calling plays before they happen again Thankfully she appeared to be OK after taking the brutal hit. She even kept on dancing. Impressive.

The one-year, non-guaranteed deal brings Cousins back in action for the first time since last season. The four-time All-Star played in 41 games during the 2020-21 season, 25 coming with the Houston Rockets with the other 16 coming with the LA Clippers. He played a situational role for the Clippers in the postseason, averaging 7.6 points and 2.0 rebounds in 8.3 minutes per game, making seven appearances.

There are also a few STIs that you can become immune to after vaccination or infection, but they are the exception rather than the rule. Knowing more about which STIs fit into which categories cannot only help you better monitor your health, but protect the health of your sexual partner(s).

As Newsweek previously reported the Geminids, one of the year’s most spectacular meteor showers, peaked on Monday night and Tuesday morning. But the shower, which kicks off on December 4, doesn’t end until Friday. At its peak, the Geminids, visible in both hemispheres but clearer in the Northern Hemisphere, can yield as many as 120 meteors per hour according to NASA. The space agency’s Solar System Exploration website recommends that the Geminids are best viewed during the night and predawn hours, adding that as they begin at between 9 and 10 p....

However, anyone can vote in the midterms, as long as they are registered. They don’t have to be affiliated with a political party. The midterms on November 8 will determine which party controls Congress, as well as governor offices and state houses across the country. The election will probably influence how successful Joe Biden’s agenda will be — if the Republicans win back Congress from the Democrats, the president will face an uphill battle trying to pass key legislation....

The former fighter pilot, who is running for Senate against Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, has taken to flying herself around the state to meet with leaders and potential voters. On Thursday alone she’ll visit three different counties, one by car and two by plane. It’s part of her campaign’s plan to “compete everywhere and take no votes for granted,” a strategy that has become their bible following a closer-than-anticipated Democratic primary in late June....

But one question that deserves greater prominence at the hearings—and which has not been a big part of the public discussion over his nomination to date—concerns his managerial competence. If confirmed, Mukasey will take over a massive and complex federal bureaucracy suffering from low morale, an exodus of top talent and a series of investigations into the conduct of its leader. Does 18 years on the federal bench qualify him to tackle the challenge?...

The NIH was once flush with money. Its budget doubled between 1998 and 2003 on the strength of enthusiastic support in Congress. Universities responded, hiring faculty and starting ambitious projects with the expectation that they’d be able to finish them. But in 2003, the Iraq War began—and the agency’s annual budget stopped growing, peaking at around $29.2 billion. Since 2003 the budget has remained flat; according to a recent article in the journal Science, “This year will be the fourth in a row that the budget of NIH, the wealthiest research agency in the world, has not kept pace with biomedical inflation....

Awareness of the risk of syphilis is important because the number of cases in the United States doubled between 2014 and 2019. It rose another 6.8% in 2020.

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), former President Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and President Joe Biden have all been accused of being too old to hold office. Additionally, the trend of inexperienced celebrities converting their fan bases to voter bases increases the likelihood that suspicions of presidential fitness will continue to be a common topic of political conversation. Having a large social media following or being a partisan political figure isn’t demonstrative of a person’s competency....

WHO–along with the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, the World Lung Foundation and Johns Hopkins University–is hoping to change that by promoting a new program it calls MPOWER, a package of six tobacco-control policies it is urging all governments to adopt. NEWSWEEK’s Karen Springen discussed the plan with Jonathan Samet, chair of the department of epidemiology and director of the Institute for Global Tobacco Control at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and Heather Wipfli, project director of the Institute for Global Tobacco Control....
