Birdie: Rory McIlroy Here we go again. Mr. Thursday opened with a 66 to grab the first-round lead at Hoylake and continue a trend of going low in the first round. McIlroy didn’t make a bogey and missed several other mid-range chances that could have given him a bigger edge after Day 1. Of course, everyone will be waiting to see if he can buck another trend and not suffer a setback in the second round, where his scoring average has been nearly five shots worse in 2014....
The British prime minister told nurses at the surgery in London: “There’s all these anti-vaxxers now. They are nuts, they are nuts.” It comes as the government announced that it wanted 30 million people to get a flu jab, as it draws up plans to alleviate pressure on the National Health Service (NHS) in case of a second wave of COVID-19 cases during the winter.

Amid the ruin caused by the hurricane, a bridge in Lucedale, Mississippi, collapsed earlier in the week resulting in the deaths of two people. Ida, which has been downgraded to a tropical depression, continued to cause devastation as it made its way north this week, as at least 46 people have been confirmed dead due to the effects of the storm in New Jersey, New York, Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania, according to The Independent....
The singer, 39, has filed to be released from a conservatorship which, for the last 13 years has seen her father Jamie Spears in charge of decisions concerning her professional and personal life, as well as her finances.

Broadcast reporters were also advised to maintain social distancing guidelines when conducting in-person interviews, although speaking with anyone who could potentially be exposed to coronavirus was discouraged. “Assignments to hotspots should be avoided, and most employers are following this rule,” the guidelines read. “If assigned to go into a hotspot, you must be provided a haz-mat suit, respirator and proper training.” Newsweek reached out to SAG-AFTRA for comment. “Reporters should not conduct in-person interviews with individuals who are known to have been exposed or have been diagnosed with COVID-19,” the guidelines continued....

Classification and Characteristics of BAC Since the term bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) is still used, most of what is described here will be done in the context of the older diagnosis....
But at just 27 in his playing prime, Rodgers-Cromartie hinted there’s a chance he doesn’t play another NFL down after Super Bowl XLVIII.

It’s hard to give them that honor when they don’t know who their quarterback will be next year. Even if they knew — and if they knew it was the legendary incumbent who turns 40 next month and missed nearly half the season with plantar fasciitis — that wouldn’t help. It won’t matter much, though, as long as they can keep the No. 1 defense in the NFL, the one that neutralized MVP Cam Newton and his Panthers offense in Sunday’s Super Bowl, intact....

That would put the offer between the league’s most lucrative contract for a receiver — Calvin Johnson’s $16.2 million per year deal with the Lions — and the second-biggest contract: Mike Wallace’s five-year deal with the Vikings that averages $12 million a year and includes $30 million in guarantees.

Both clubs enter the season hoping their defenses can step it up after tough endings to 2014. The Broncos added cornerback Aqib Talib, defensive end DeMarcus Ware and safety T.J. Ward in free agency, while the Colts struck deals with inside linebacker D’Qwell Jackson and defensive lineman Arthur Jones. The Broncos and Colts can score, but can get the stops they need when their offenses can’t carry the day? A total nearing eight touchdowns and extra points suggests there is convincing to be done....

Nigeria doesn’t offer the comparative symbolism to the U.S. civil-rights movement that made the fight against apart-held in South Africa so galvanizing for African-Americans. “This is not a Nelson Mandela situation,” says Molefi Kete Asante, chairman of the African-American Studies Department at Temple University. For Randall Robinson, executive director of TransAfrica, the influential U.S.-based lobbying group that launched the new Nigeria campaign in March, the decision to challenge Nigeria was a compelling one-regardless of race....
