Shortly after news broke that Shaq Lawson, the team’s first-round draft pick, will undergo shoulder surgery this week and may be sidelined for up to six months, comes word that one of their top offensive threats has a broken foot.

Adulhem was revolutionary in the Alzheimer’s field because the drug cleared plaque in the brain believed to contribute to the disease. So the drug slowed progression of the disease, not just managing the symptoms, Biogen said. The new drug came at a steep price as patients were expected to pay an average of $56,000 annually for treatment. Biogen announced that starting next month, Aduhelm will cost $28,200 per person for a person of average weight....
The effectiveness of biologics in treating certain diseases and conditions has been beneficial for patients. However, because they are a newer class of medications, and there may not be as much evidence available on use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, there can be some concern for parents.

White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows told reporters on Wednesday that it was “very thoughtful” and “very meaningful” to see Republicans and Democrats coming together to put forth a stimulus package. Unveiled on Tuesday, the package provides funding for a number of measures included in the bipartisan CARES Act, such as unemployment and another round of stimulus checks. While it may seem like an indication of the two sides of the political aisle coming together for relief after weeks of stalled talks, Meadows wasn’t confident it was reflective of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s position....

As of Thursday morning, the website was inaccessible with visitors being met with an error message when they tried to gain access. According to CoinDesk, a news website specializing in cryptocurrencies, a pop-up message appeared on the site earlier on Thursday that asked visitors to send money to a Bitcoin wallet.

To test whether loss of inhibition might explain racist and ethnic slurs, psychologist William von Hippel of Australia’s University of Queensland measured how well people of different ages could halt unwanted speech. Volunteers were given paragraphs containing distracting words within the text and were asked to read them aloud—without speaking the distracting words. (Imagine reading this story aloud but skipping words beginning with “s.”) Differences in inhibitory control matched differences in the frequency of racist speech....
Entering play Tuesday night, Boston is right in the thick of the Presidents’ Trophy race with Tampa Bay, Nashville and, shockingly, Vegas. The Bruins won just six of their first 17 games, but are 21-3-4 since, including a 12-0-3 run in their past 15 games. They have not lost a game in regulation since Dec. 14 and are exhibiting all of the traits you expect to see from a Stanley Cup contender....
Black and Latino groups are mobilizing to try to win those two Senate seats in an incredibly challenging political environment. Organizers who spoke with Newsweek acknowledge the challenge of winning two Senate seats while facing the full power of the Republican Party, but they say Joe Biden’s Georgia win—the first time a Democrat did so in 28 years—was also an unlikely outcome. “The fact that Georgia turned blue was due to unprecedented enthusiasm and turnout in Black communities,” BlackPAC Executive Director Adrianne Shropshire told Newsweek....

The ESPN cameras followed the wicked-looking cat as it scooted across midfield with a scowl, all the way to the end zone. Both teams looked rather lethargic before the black cat appeared, with the Giants scoring their lone touchdown before the feline-to-goal-line scat. The Cowboys found new blood afterwards, scoring a touchdown and a field goal to take a 13-12 lead....

A spokesperson for the embassy told The Washington Post that U.S. Ambassador Harry Harris decided to remove the BLM banner after he had it displayed for two days. The spokesperson said Harris decided to remove the BLM flag out of concern that it could cause a “misperception” that taxpayer dollars were being directed to the organization. “The ambassador decided to put the Black Lives Banner up to communicate a message of solidarity with Americans concerned with racism, especially racial violence against African Americans,” the spokesperson told the Post....
