The study, which appears in the latest issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, debunks a common myth—that wearing a tight seat belt in an accident can harm a fetus—that seems to persist despite doctors’ best efforts, according to Dr. Mark Pearlman, the lead study author and vice chair of the department of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Michigan Health System. “Patients worry because the belt goes right across their belly....
NBA League Pass: Sign up to unlock live out-of-market games (7-day free trial) Players who test positive can clear COVID-19 protocols with two negative PCR tests within 24 hours like LeBron James recently did. If not, Antetokounmpo will likely be spending 10 days in isolation away from the team without conducting physical activity. If he has to spend the full number of days in isolation, Antetokounmpo will miss the Bucks’ Christmas Day clash with the Celtics at Fiserv Forum....
At the end of June, just ahead of the opening of the free-agent period, word hit that first-year coach Jason Kidd had approached Nets ownership reportedly demanding more power, including control of basketball operations — the job held by Billy King. When that move was rejected, the Bucks requested, and were granted, permission to interview Kidd. Milwaukee, though, already had a coach, Larry Drew. It was certain that Kidd would be a candidate for that job....
What began in the offseason as a simple disagreement over a contract extension beyond this season -- and the just-as-simple decline in Freeman's productivity the last two seasons -- has turned poisonous. The poison, though, is coming almost exclusively from the Bucs toward Freeman, and as it worsens it seems they're the only ones who don't realize that they're the ones getting killed by it. PHOTOS: Looking back on the 2009 NFL Draft QB class...
The Juventus goalkeeper was in fine form as his side won 2-0 away to Monaco, taking full control of their Champions League semi-final tie. Higuain delivers for Juventus against Monaco It was Buffon’s sixth consecutive clean sheet in the competition – a club record – with saves from Kylian Mbappe, Radamel Falcao and substitute Valere Germain proving vital. And the 39-year-old insists it his cementing his reputation that drives his continued success, rather than hopes of winning the Ballon d’Or....
The veteran goalkeeper has a calf complaint, while midfielder Pjanic is struggling with a muscle strain, and both are doubts for the meeting with the Greek champions. Mario Mandzukic is fit again after missing the win over Napoli, while Gonzalo Higuain will also play, but defender Giorgio Chiellini is not in the squad for the match in Athens, leaving Allegri with some concern about his options. “Higuain will play, he’s fine physically and mentally....
Ronaldo scored a stunning overhead kick in Real Madrid’s 3-0 Champions League quarter-final first-leg win over Juventus in Turin, having earlier broken the deadlock with a precise close-range finish. The Portugal forward’s second goal earned an ovation from the home fans at the Allianz Stadium and gave Madrid a crucial advantage in the tie, before Marcelo added a third after Paulo Dybala was sent off for the Italians. Buffon could only express his admiration for Ronaldo and Barcelona star Messi in the wake of the dispiriting defeat....
HSX cofounders Max Keiser, 36, and Michael Burns, 38, made small fortunes on Wall Street in the ’80s. Keiser retired to write poetry in Paris, but a year ago he hooked up again with Burns, now an investment banker in Los Angeles. Over dinner one night they laid out the idea for the game, then spent about $500,000 to launch it. Now Hollywood’s paying attention to HSX’s ““investors.’’ ““It’s an amazing barometer,’’ says Mark Amin, CEO of Trimark....
Through the first 30 games of the 2022-23 season, Chicago sits at 12-18 and is on the outside looking in on the Play-In Tournament. Not the playoffs — the Play-In. With three former All-Stars in DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic, the Bulls are supposed to be a team with championship aspirations, but over one-third of the way through the season, they’ve been anything but. Just when it seemed like things couldn’t get worse, The Athletic’s Shams Charania and Darnell Mayberry dropped a report on Dec....
However, certain bumps do require examination by a healthcare provider. These include warts and lesions caused by sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that can be very contagious. Other non-contagious bumps may also be serious, including those caused by Peyronie’s disease and, on rare occasions, penile cancer. Even relatively harmless bumps, including pimples and cysts, may require treatment if they are unsightly or become infected if you pick at them or try to pop them....
Actually, he’s from Port Arthur, Texas, located 90 miles east of the city, but the solo emcee who made up half the seminal rap group UGK along with the late Pimp C, has served as one of H-Town’s most respected voices since his career began in the late 1980s. If you claim Houston, and Bun doesn’t vouch for you, you aren’t official. The Astros can now say they’re official. The trillest himself, has paid homage to the ALDS-bound squad with a track called “Crush City”, and drops the names of several Houston stars, including Dallas Kuechel, Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa....
Every day from now through April 20, Burger King will post a different question on its social media pages, with the solution being the promo code. Burger King will post the questions, covering subjects like math, biology, chemistry and literature, on its Twitter, Facebook and Instagram pages. Once students work out the answer, they can enter it as a promo code on the Burger King app, with a limit of one per student per day....
Causes and Risk Factors Burkholderia cepacia is a group of bacteria found naturally in wet soil and decaying plants. In the past, we used to believe that the strains of B. cepacia found in the environment were not the same as those found in people. Recent studies have proved just the opposite, confirming that the bacteria can be spread by contact with infected individuals as well as contaminated surfaces. B. cepacia rarely affects people with healthy immune systems....
According to witnesses, five or six commuters had been waiting at a stop in Ashdod for more than 90 minutes Saturday night without a bus in sight. But when one finally approached, it refused to stop—so the group stood in the street to force it to put on the brakes. Witness Schmuel Baruch told News 1 the driver slowed, but didn’t come to a full stop, and one man was forced to jump onto the front to keep from getting run over....
Jimmy Rogers Tate has been charged with distributing obscene material to a minor, a felony punishable by up to five years in prison. The 54-year-old from Palm Bay was released from Brevard County Jail on Friday on a $5,000 bond and is awaiting trial. The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office said Tate gave a ninth-grade girl a book about sexual acts between an adult man and a toddler, according to an arrest affidavit....
Wendy Alberty, 49, is accused of trapping the 32-year-old woman inside the luggage area while it was traveling to Boston, Massachusetts, on August 4. The Connecticut State Police said the passenger was able to call 911 while she was locked in the compartment. Troopers then tracked the woman using her cell phone’s pings and pulled the bus over on Interstate 84 in the town of Union, Connecticut, a few miles from the Massachusetts border....
Kyle Busch had a car that was not to his liking. Kurt Busch spun entering pit road and got a lap behind early. But they both took new tires prior to the restart with six laps remaining, with Kurt restarting 13th and Kyle restarting 14th. Kyle worked his way up to seventh and Kurt finished eighth. “I made a mistake early on trying to get on pit road trying to get all I could — it was as if I was going to pass 15 cars and get to the lead all at once,” Kurt said....
Well, maybe. But maybe not. It’s just possible that a traditional slash-the-liberals campaign-with nothing else to soften it or give a sense of optimism and energy-will seem too jagged, too desperate and too obviously beside the point to work in 1992. Polls gyrated wildly after the GOP’s Houston convention. Some had Bush gaining much ground-due, in large part, to attacks that had undermined Clinton. But NEWSWEEK’S Poll, conducted later than most others, showed that Bush had gotten not a bounce but a dribble....
Things aren’t much different here at the University of Mississippi than they were at my Christian preparatory school. Though Ole Miss is officially non-denominational, the campus has a very Christian feel. Bible studies are a dime a dozen here. Churches and thirteen Christian student organizations compete with fraternity parties for turning out large crowds. Hundreds of Bible-clutching students routinely gather in Oxford to watch a guitar-wielding worship leader carry a contemporary Christian tune....
