The study in question involved 90 participants around the age of 28, who drank more than the recommended amount of alcohol in the U.K., where the study was conducted, but hadn’t been diagnosed with a disorder. The men drank at least 40 units per week in mostly beer and the women 30, and were therefore at risk of developing alcohol use disorder. The research was carried out over three days, with around ten days between the first and last sessions....

“Is it warm, or is it just my nerves?” she asked him. “Both,” he said, laughing. Rossides was there for the debut of the largest agency launched to date in the history of the government–the Transportation Security Administration, which that morning began its rollout of federal security agents to replace the private guards that had screened (and often not screened) passengers at the nation’s 429 airports. Rossides, who oversees training and quality-control programs at TSA, listened as the supervisor went over a checklist with his squad....

Hi everyone! I am leaving Ft. Bragg (thank goodness) on Tuesday or Wednesday and heading to, of all places, Ft. Knox. I will stay there for a week or less, doing some “Cultural Awareness Training” and then some digital battlefield software training. After this, I am headed for Ft. Hood, Texas, to draw equipment and weapons. I have been assigned to a “Mobile Transition Team”, meaning I will be living with and training an Iraqi Army Battalion, along with three other Americans....

Hollywood is generally assumed to be a bastion of political liberalism, but when movie characters find themselves unintentionally pregnant, one of two things happens: they keep the baby, or they conveniently miscarry. “Juno” is the only film in recent history in which the protagonist seriously considers termination. Upon learning of her pregnancy, Juno (Ellen Page) makes an appointment to, as she deadpans, “procure a hasty abortion.” But on the day of the procedure, a schoolmate protesting outside the clinic tells Juno her fetus already has fingernails....

Ali OPENING NATIONWIDE: Dec. 25 Ratings based on a 1 to 5 scale Muhammad Ali didn’t play by the rules, and neither does Michael Mann’s honest, richly detailed, gorgeous movie about him. An uncompromising look at 10 tumultuous years in the champ’s life–from his first fight with Sonny Liston in ‘64 to his battle with George Foreman in Zaire to regain the title that had been stripped from him when he refused to fight in Vietnam–“Ali” goes out of its way to avoid Hollywood biopic cliches....

U.S. officials say the Russians agreed in 1991 to reduce the number of agents in the United States by as much as half. But between 1993 and 1997 the number rose by one third, almost to cold-war levels. Clinton administration aides also raised the issue but got nowhere and probably would have ordered a similar expulsion, sources say.

More than half of the 3.9 million pregnant women in the United States will nevertheless take this blood test, and 125,000 will undergo an amnio. But the popularity of the tests belies their shortcomings. First and foremost: neither the blood-screening test nor amniocentesis can be done before the second trimester. Amnios performed earlier than 15 weeks into pregnancy put women at higher risk of miscarrying, leaking amniotic fluid and delivering a baby with a severe clubfoot....

The tale of Guirola’s survival while more than 700 others died–many of them middle class and a few newly affluent, caught in the landslide below her–is also a story of El Salvador’s tragic modern history. Until 1979, when leftist guerrillas began fighting a civil war against the U.S.-backed government, 14 families owned most of El Salvador’s land. They ran the country as their private fiefdom. Amelia Guirola, like her mansion on the hill, is a symbol of those days....

I’ve always enjoyed good health, despite a mastectomy 15 years ago. But I do have a genuine fear of becoming incapacitated by a serious accident or illness. For me, the fear has not so much to do with dying but with remaining alive and dependent on others for my care. I’ve always been fiercely independent–my hair has never been touched by a hairdresser, for instance. My family knows that when I die, I want to be cremated....

The proposal has ignited significant debate around the globe in recent times, with fans, coaches, players and entire continental governing bodies taking sides. It’s an idea that is believed to be supported by 166 of the 210 member associations of FIFA, according to an ESPN report from last year. And Infantino has said that he believes the majority of associations would vote for it, though no vote has been scheduled....

The documentary was executively produced by two highly-respected sports journalists Kevin Armstrong and Dan Wetzel. Both are prominent throughout the three one-hour episodes and provide a deep depth of knowledge of both Hernandez the person and the trials that gripped America in 2015. In addition to Armstrong and Wetzel, the documentary spoke to a number of people who interacted with Hernandez. From those who knew him personally, such as former Patriots teammates Leigh Bodden, Ryan O’Callaghan and Jermaine Wiggins, to those who were involved in his criminal cases, such as attorneys and criminal experts....

MORE: Aaron Hernandez timeline Judge E. Susan Garsh said that there was “credible evidence” that the juror attended more Patriots games than she stated on the questionnaire, and that she has talked about the case outside of the courtroom, according to the Boston Globe. Garsh said that the juror posed “a substantial risk” to the fairness of the trial after it was disclosed that the juror said it would be hard to convict Hernandez without a weapon....

Judge, at 6-7, 282 pounds, isn’t just hitting long balls. Like King Kong swatting planes over the Empire State Building, he’s smacking towering blasts worthy of his massive frame, at Yankee Stadium and well beyond.

Can Judge keep the gavel pounding on his legendary debut past the All-Star Break?...

Rodgers claimed in a segment during his radio show on ESPNWisconsin on Thursday that the injury was “due to the poor surface” when the Packers played the Buccaneers on Dec. 21. Still, the Packers crushed the Bucs, 20-3. To add, Rodgers previously suffered a shoulder injury at Tampa Bay, totaling two injuries in three games.

“I think it goes against the league stance on player safety,” the Packers quarterback said, via ESPN.com. MORE: Tracking NFL training camp injuries | Packers training camp in photos The new rule states PATs in 2015 and beyond will be snapped from the 15-yard line and kicked from the 33-yard line, while two-point conversion tries will still be snapped from the 2-yard line. Defenses can also now score on returns of any kind....

Jones has never had a quarterback as good as Rodgers, and Rodgers has never had as good of a receiver as Jones. Sure, they played with some really good counterparts, but none as elite as each other. Even if they only played in the same offense one season, they could break single-season records and bring a team into immediate contenders for next season’s Super Bowl. What’s the best landing spot for them?...

In an interview with Axios, Blyth was reported as saying, “OK, millennials. But we’re the people that actually have all the money.” The quote was used in an article detailing the annual revenue generated by the AARP, which is in excess of $174 million yearly through advertising in its two magazines, its video studio and digital advertising. “We’ve created a media presence almost from the year we were founded in 1958,” Blyth said....

John and Katharine McClain checked the shed after their dog, Archie, started sniffing and barking around it on Saturday morning in Livingston, Texas. Inside, they found a terrifying sight—a baby girl lying on the ground between a file cabinet and a motorcycle. “I turned around and told my wife, ‘Call 911. There’s a baby in there,’” John told local news station KTRK-TV. “She was like, ‘Huh?’ She said, ‘What are you talking about?...

Wambach, 35, was arrested at 2:02 a.m. local time on Sunday and charged with misdemeanor DUI after running a red light. Police reportedly administered a field sobriety test that Wambach failed and she was taken to a local jail.
