The first big workout came when lifting the two giant boxes the Max Trainer M9 arrived in and positioning them where I wanted the exercise equipment to live. It took 35 minutes to unbox the parts you see in the photo below and—despite its initially looking daunting—the M9 only took about 2 hours to build. Bowflex had offered to have someone come help with the installation; and separately, a couple of helpful reps called to offer assistance over the phone....

Lawyers who threaten journalists don’t always score points. But the stakes are high in the swirl of publicity around the maker of Lancome lipsticks and Paloma Picasso perfumes. For about three years, the $7 billion company has been vilified for alleged Nazi ties, anti-Semitic policies and adherence to the Arab boycott. Jean and David Frydman, two Franco-Israeli brothers who are suing L’Oreal after a business deal gone sour, sponsored the Times ad to keep the pot boiling....

Last week the National Guard held riot-control exercises. And since early January the LAPD has run “civil disorder” training for every member of the force. The cops are taught the use of less-than-lethal weapons, including rubber bullets and a new Mace-like spray. They’re also trained in crowd dispersal and victim rescue. On Feb. 9 the city council voted $l million for new riot gear.

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Brendan Smith kneed Marchand in Game 3 of their playoff series on Tuesday night. That's not allowed. Marchand, though, tried to go the extra mile to draw the call — and in the process, he seemed to forget which part of his body was supposed to hurt. Watch Marchand get hit in his left leg, then grab the right. Whoooooops. It shouldn't surprise or anger anyone to see stuff like this; it's the playoffs, gamesmanship is real and Marchand has pulled off this maneuver in the past....

Pitt played Fauci during the episode’s cold open—and began his cameo by noting how popular the medical expert has become....

Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side had seen their Scottish Premiership title defence hopes dented by a 2-1 loss to Celtic at Ibrox on Sunday and they endured another frustrating night in Portugal on Thursday. Ruiz’s goal five minutes before half-time proved the difference as he rifled the ball home from just inside the box after Leon Balogun had misjudged a cross from Iuri Medeiros and allowed it to bounce past him....

The brainstem is the region of the brain that physically and functionally connects higher-level brain activity with the rest of the body. It is also the control center for several life-sustaining functions, such as breathing and heart regulation. The brainstem is located deep in the brain and extends down towards the back of the head, right where the skull and the spine meet. A brainstem stroke is the result of the interruption of blood flow within small arteries in the back of the neck and brain, such as the basilar artery, the right or left posterior inferior cerebellar artery, or the right or left vertebral artery....

The Pistons point guard, one of the more active and accessible players in the league online, didn’t come looking for trouble, but he definitely accepted and ended it when a fan hopped in his mentions, trying to play him. MORE: Remembering David Stern | Brandon Jennings shares gruesome pictue of achilles Here’s how it played out. He tried the wrong one.

Upon closer inspection, however, there’s something odd about them. What is it, exactly? Mason pauses, allowing his visitor a few moments of puzzlement. His boyish face and calm demeanor are reassuring in a molecular biologist whose specialty is tampering with food. A few years ago he was inserting foreign genes into plants to make them better able to resist drought when a colleague suggested a more exciting possibility: why not find genes that would make common, edible plants produce vaccines against a human disease?...
