Peterson was one of the most dominant running backs of all time. He was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the 2007 NFL Draft, following a run at Oklahoma. He set an NFL record his rookie year for the most rushing yards in a single game (296). A seven-time Pro Bowler, Peterson tore his ACL and MCL in 2011. In 2012, he had a season to remember, rushing for 2,097 yards....
The findings, published today in Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, are the result of the largest-ever U.S. pediatric study of its kind. Researchers defined “off label” as the use of a specific drug in a patient younger than the Food and Drug Administration-approved age range. While some drugs, like acetaminophen, were found to be rarely used off label, powerful sedatives like Propofol, Midazolam and Fentanyl, says Shah, were commonly prescribed....
A new study published in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine shows that while vaccine adherence is increasing among adults, there are still significant gaps that can be linked back to four factors: socioeconomic status (SES), health insurance, education level, and race/ethnicity. What the Study Looked At The study included self-reported responses from 31,539 adults over the age of 18 in the United States as part of the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS)....
It’s not just the clever catch phrase emblazoned on the front of Adam Cole’s shirt when he made his highly anticipated AEW debut on Sunday night — it’s the wave of American wrestling’s future. All Out 2021 was, arguably, All Elite Wrestling’s best ever PPV, with the flagship event delivering on every match in one of the best cards it has put out since its inception. If the wrestling quality isn’t enough of an indicator, in just a few short years of the company’s existence, owner Tony Khan is doing something that any normal, sane, well-functioning business does: Listening to its customers....
The shot-stopper was in inspired form as he kept the hosts at bay, making 10 saves. The victory ensures Zoran Mamic’s team cannot finish outside the top two in Group C. “All the players contributed to the win especially goalkeeper Khaled Eisa who delivered a great performance but that is not strange for someone of his calibre,” Abdulrahman said after the encounter. “I hope he continues his good form for our remaining fixtures,” he added....
The win sealed a 3-2 aggregate win for the Philippine side who had lost the first leg in Singapore 1-2. Ceres knew that they had to score goals quickly in the game and came out all guns blazing at home. They grabbed the lead on the night as early as in the second minute when Iain Ramsey’s cross was volleyed home expertly by Porteria from close range. A shell shocked Home United gave Ceres a chance to double their lead in the 14th minute when Abdil Qaiyyim handled another Ramsey cross inside the area....
Pittsburgh Steelers AFC North Odds (13/10) AFC Title Odds (5/1) Super Bowl Odds (11/1) The Steelers were tied for fourth last year in scoring offense (26.4 PPG), but were still one of the best UNDER teams at 12-6. The offense did most of its damage through the air with Ben Roethlisberger and company, with running back Le’Veon Bell suffering a season-ending knee injury in early November. Bell is expected to be ready for Week 1 and that’s important as the passing game lost a big piece with the year-long suspension of receiver Martavis Bryant....
That isn’t going to happen after a shocking loss to Equatorial Guinea in group play. Even without that loss, the new world-record streak would not have been possible according to FIFA’s official statistics. The longest ever national team unbeaten streak currently sits at 37 games, set recently by an Italy team that went three years without a loss from 2018 to 2021. Prior to its loss to Equatorial Guinea, the Algerian federation claimed that its undefeated run stood at 35 matches, just three away from setting a new record....
Mohammad, who asked that only his first name be used to protect his children, received a death threat two years ago from the Taliban during a work conference in California, forcing him to stay in the United States and seek to bring his wife and two sons, 9 and 11, to America. The conference he was attending was part of his job on a U.S. government-funded project in Afghanistan....
Throngs of people have rushed to the airport in the hopes of fleeing Afghanistan after the Taliban’s rapid takeover of the country. Evacuation flights are being conducted on a first-come, first-served basis, and government officials estimate that tens of thousands of people, including families, are trying to leave the country. Mohammad Naim has been at the airport with his family for four days, waiting for his chance to catch a flight out of Kabul....
The U.S. placed a hold on the doses, which are currently detained at a plant, following suspicions of contamination at a Baltimore factory. Nkengasong said there will be more transparency on the “findings from the manufacturing site” by the end of the week. Following lagging vaccine shipments throughout the continent exacerbated by the J&J hold, the Mastercard Foundation announced Tuesday it would funnel $1.3 billion in purchasing and providing doses for residents of Africa....
Through all the trials, tribulations and breakthroughs, Dreamers have been told that our time was coming. That Congress would soon deliver a permanent fix. Instead of waiting passively for that day, we stood up; we spoke out; we organized. And through each opportunity afforded to us, we have proven that when Dreamers and other immigrants have chances to succeed, we gratefully seize those opportunities. When Texas and California passed in-state tuition legislation in 2001, thousands of Dreamers went to college, graduated and started their careers....
After news of “Operation Varsity Blues” broke in March, California legislators introduced several bills aimed at reforming the admissions process and leveling the playing field. Assemblymember Phil Ting’s bill, AB 697, which require colleges to share information about their admissions process, was approved by the State Assembly on Tuesday. The bill was then sent to Newsom, who will have until October 13 to act on it. If signed into law, it would go into effect on January 1....
While the group frequently targeted President Donald Trump and lawmakers aligned with him in the run-up to the election, it is now pivoting to focus on those facilitating his recent behavior. It comes as Trump’s campaign persists with a raft of lawsuits and his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani claims there is more legal action to come. “We are back in the fight, we will hold people to account,” Reed Galen, an independent political strategist and one of the Lincoln Project’s co-founders, told Newsweek....
According to the Dallas Morning News, Morris had countered Baylor’s offer with a five-year, $24.5-million offer that Baylor did not accept. Morris, who is 7-17 in two seasons as coach of the Mustangs, then told his staff he was staying with SMU, which is working on a contract extension for him through the 2022 season. MORE: Tracking the 2016 coaching carousel Per ESPN, Morris’ rejection leaves the Bears courting Dykes, who is 19-30 in four seasons at Cal but runs a similar “Air Raid” offense the Bears used with success under Art Briles....
Those who have fond memories of Chuck E. Cheese (or those who just like the idea of being able to see a giant mouse mascot without having to go to Disney) have been commiserating on Twitter about what’s next for the long-standing franchise. On Tuesday, “#WhatsNextForChuckECheese” started trending on Twitter, with fans sharing ideas for how the hundreds of stores and thousands of employees could continue operating in a social-distancing and internet-obsessed climate....
