This gene poses a threat to the medicine colistin, a last-resort antibiotic that can be used when other drugs fail. Mobile colistin resistance, or MCR, genes have been detected in the U.S. before in samples collected from hospital patients. However, scientists have now identified a version of the gene in a sewage sample from a wastewater treatment plant in Georgia. The researchers, from the University of Georgia, say this indicates that “MCR genes might be becoming established in the USA....

LEVY: There’s been a lot of rumors about your departure, including a story that Microsoft president Steve Ballmer wanted you out. MYHRVOLD: Steve had nothing to do with this. Two years ago, I told Bill I was thinking about taking a leave of absence, or doing something radically different, because I wanted to spend my time in a different way. Bill didn’t want me to do it, but said that if I waited another two years I could have an honorable discharge....

After enduring such an experience, Rose, who suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee Friday, should be able to ensure his next comeback doesn't take a similar tone. Because he is expected to have the medial meniscus in his right knee reattached in a Monday surgery, Rose could miss the remainder of the Bulls' season. That alone is enough to get the meme machine churning with new caricatures of Rose....

Despite the fact they broke up years ago, they’re both back in the news after Guilfoyle recently ripped into her ex-husband, suggesting he “ain’t making it to the White House.” Speculation is rife that Governor of California Newsom is eyeing a run for the presidency, but sitting president Joe Biden stands in his way. To understand the context behind Guilfoyle’s comments about her ex, here’s Newsweek’s summary of the relationship timeline between the two....

Maria Shriver, the journalist niece of the former president and the cousin of his son, on Tuesday shared to Twitter a segment from MSNBC anchor Brian Williams that described followers of the conspiracy as “lost souls,” while urging viewers to remember the losses of the Kennedy family instead of showing “pity” for QAnon “cult members or conspiracy theorists.” “Well said, Brian Williams,” Shriver tweeted alongside a video clip of Williams....

The assault team, including investigators from the FSB, the domestic successor to the Soviet KGB, searched the premises for documents and videotapes. First they said they were seeking evidence on the alleged misdeeds of a former Finance Ministry official. Then they said they were investigating Media-Most itself, looking into charges of privacy violations and possible tax irregularities. Gusinsky, who flew back from Israel to manage the crisis, accused Putin of using Soviet-era tactics....

Perhaps appropriately enough, a muted 90 minutes in Lisbon even had the feeling of a testimonial game as Benfica kept their hold on the Primeira summit with a straightforward victory. United set to sign Lindelof Playing alongside grizzled Luisao as the left side of the Portuguese champions’ centre-back pairing, Lindelof played a slightly more advanced role than his captain, who swept up Rio Ave’s rare incursions into Aguila dangerzone. Neither Benfica nor their star defender were unduly troubled in the game, as the visitors only managed their first shot on target as the clock ticked towards the hour mark....

Will Western countries ever stop selling weapons to potential enemies? It didn’t take long. At the Singapore arms fair two weeks ago European arms manufacturers were boasting that their systems had been “combat-tested” in the gulf war. But this was a war that provided a caricature of the danger of the international arms trade: it was the Soviets and the West who sold Saddam Hussein the weapons which enabled him to build up the world’s fourth biggest fighting force....

Does the pandemic demand a rethink of our attitudes toward growth, both demographic and economic? Is perpetual growth really a guarantor of human well-being? Can we create by fiat an endless future of unlimited human numbers and activity? At what point should hubris make some concessions to humility? “We are as gods,” Stewart Brand wrote in 1968 at the opening of his Whole Earth Catalogue, “and might as well get good at it....

Awarded to the players, coaches and other members of the winning team, the Super Bowl ring has become an iconic part of the game itself. Production on the rings doesn’t begin until after the Super Bowl. The design phase can take up to eight weeks, and then it takes another 4-6 weeks to make the rings. LOVE, HATE & PLENTY OF -GATES The many twists of the Patriots’ dynasty timeline...

This scene would be just another unfortunate moment in the private collapse of a once widely admired public man. But it has taken on new significance to Senate and Justice Department investigators who have moved beyond the original charges–that the Oregon senator sexually harassed female staffers–to look at possible criminal violations. Senate Ethics Committee documents question whether Packwood “may have improperly solicited financial support for his wife.” A spokesman for Packwood refused to comment on the divorce....

Some of those subjects included the Brooklyn Bridge and the man who built it, John Roebling (The Great Bridge); the creation of the Panama Canal (The Path Between the Seas); the biggest year in American history, which was not 1619 (1776); the American brothers who got to man-powered flight first (The Wright Brothers); a flood (The Johnstown Flood); and three American presidents (Truman, Mornings on Horseback: The Story of an Extraordinary Family, a Vanished Way of Life and the Unique Child Who Became Theodore Roosevelt and John Adams, which became an award-winning HBO series)....

Except for the Green Berets, who have already moved out to provincial cities, most of the U.S. Army invasion force still sits in downtown Port-au-Prince. The Herbies remain in charge almost everywhere else. The U.S. Army has a methodical mind-set: first set up a base, and then go kick ass. I applaud meticulous preparation, but damn, I wish the brass hats would move faster and send foot patrols into the slums....

A grim exercise, some might say, to compile what amounts to an index of suffering and, in some cases, death. And I admit that on the page my list reads like a cold collection of clinical terms. But I have faces to go with all of those diseases, and names and stories, too. I have laughs to go with the tears. So will you, when you make your own list....

Vouchers are still very much of an educational experiment, affecting perhaps .1 percent of American schoolchildren. Only a couple of cities–Milwaukee and Cleveland–have large-scale programs. Polls show that most whites are indifferent to vouchers and are satisfied with their public schools. But vouchers are popular with some poor African-Americans and Hispanics eager to get their kids out of bad schools. This year a $200 million foundation set up by billionaire Ted Forstmann offered scholarships to allow 40,000 poor children to attend private school....

The fax was the work of Philip Zelikow, the commission’s executive director, a University of Virginia historian who had been poring over records of the Pearl Harbor inquiries for months. Those probes, Zelikow believes, are the clearest blueprint for the 9/11 panel’s work. “This is what happens when you hire historians,” joked commission chairman Thomas Kean. A White House aide says it is “fatuous” to say the Leahy photo forced the White House to capitulate....

On March 9, 171 Penn State University alumni and fans boarded a Celebrity Infinity cruise ship for a five-day trip to benefit the Special Olympics. The group departed from Port Miami, and stopped along the way at Key West and Cozumel, Mexico. Originally, 198 people were scheduled to be on the cruise; some people were sick, but 16 canceled out of fear. Celebrities onboard include Sue Paterno, the widow of former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno; NFL Hall-of-Famer Franco Harris, and NFL star running back and College Football Hall-of-Famer Lydell Mitchell....
