On Wednesday, the parents at Peace Valley Charter School in Boise, Idaho were notified that students would no longer be required to wear masks, even though the Delta variant is spreading rapidly across the state. On August 16, the school’s executive board voted to mandate masks for students and staff members in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention requirements. The mask mandate was canceled after the school board’s governing council decided to hold a separate virtual meeting with several doctors, including pathologist Dr....

Although it might be a relief to hear that your tremor isn’t caused by PD, it doesn’t necessarily make the tremor less annoying. For some people, essential tremor comes and goes and hardly bothers them. For others, essential tremor is so bad that tying shoes or eating with utensils is nearly impossible. Recognizing Essential Tremor Unlike a Parkinsonian tremor, essential tremor is usually (but not always) bilateral—that is, it affects both sides at once....

Web merchants liked the idea, for customer authentication. But the ID could also help data warehouses create detailed profiles of Web users. Intel said it would ship the chips with the ID feature inactive, but privacy groups weren’t placated. Their fear: Web merchants will insist on your enabling the ID feature as a condition of doing business.

Far from bringing peace to the Middle East, however, a significant escalation of demonstrations shaking Iran or any major foreign intervention could end up empowering an even greater enemy—the Islamic State militant group. The organization better known as ISIS rose up years ago from the death and destruction ravaging Iraq and Syria and the jihadis have since sought to tap into movements battling the Iranian government from within, and make good on external forces pushing the country toward implosion....

And maybe it will get B1GGER, if it can find members who fit the conference profile and add to its athletic reputation in the same way as UCLA and USC. Those two will be announced soon as the 15th and 16th Big Tenners, and the conference all but literally will stretch from coast to coast. It is five miles from the UCLA campus to the Pacific Ocean. Rutgers is 38 miles from Point Pleasant Beach....

Toronto reached the finals for the first time in franchise history this season and will enter Game 6 against the Warriors on Thursday at Oracle Arena with a 3-2 series lead. If the Raptors fall in Golden State, they’ll have another chance to close it out at home Sunday. Title-winning teams are typically invited to the White House. But, would the Raptors receive an invitation, even though they’re based in Canada?...

Answer by Jonathan Brill , Patriots fan No, it will still be Montana . Before making my case I should note that although I watched Montana growing up and have always been a Niners fan, Brady’s is the only jersey I own, I’m an unapologetic Pats fan, and Brady is probably my favorite current player. When I saw this question, three other questions immediately popped into my head: Having their careers laid out in front of me, which would I draft?...

I was surprised by the nearly unanimous responses from these liberal, moderate and conservative alums, and I wondered why none of them thought to “look into this” themselves. I also asked myself why Jackson would get into the middle of such a debate when he is in his 60s. Was he ego-tripping, or did he anticipate that younger folks like these former students would be reluctant to get involved?...

“Insulation is key, both on the body, and in shelter/home,” Scott Oeth shared via email. Oeth is a lifelong outdoorsman and considered a master naturalist who owns the wilderness guide company Bull Moose Patrol. Much of his training for camping in extreme cold translates to dealing with freezing temperatures indoors. Keeping your neck and head warm is particularly important, he said, and suggested improvising a scarf or headwear with a sweater, towel, or even a pair of extra pants....

In a 249-198 vote, delegates decided against calling on the association to promote legislation which would permit local school boards to implement armed teacher programs at their schools. A separate resolution calling on the association to advocate for legislation promoting the use of school resource officers was approved. Illinois law does not explicitly authorize district employees to carry weapons in school, nor does it delegate the authority to make such a decision to local boards....

We need to call this what it is: Immigrant First Human Resources. And it’s a disgrace. Immigrant First HR practices lack patriotism, whether they are implemented in Black-led northern sanctuary cities or white-run rural America. Yet this is not the first time Mississippi’s agriculture businesses have found themselves on the wrong side of the equation about immigration and anti-Black American racism, even in these modern times. Recall that during a 2019 immigration enforcement raid, President Trump’s administration discovered over 700 jobs where Black Mississippians had been replaced by illegal aliens in seven of Mississippi’s poultry plants....

Even though President George W. Bush is keeping a wary distance from the recall, the Republican Leadership Council, a Washington, D.C., political-action committee that supported Bush in 2000, has endorsed Schwarzenegger and last week began making plans to buy air time for ads supporting him. Schwarzenegger’s path got easier Saturday, when conservative rival Bill Simon quit the race. The Bushies denied any direct role. But Bush political guru Karl Rove is known to favor Schwarzenegger, and GOP Rep....

The statement on Friday continued Republican efforts to repaint the attempted insurrection as a mere political protest, the arrestees as “political prisoners” and the committee investigating the day’s events as a partisan smear campaign. “Representatives Cheney and Kinzinger are participating in Democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate public discourse, and they are both utilizing their past professed political affiliation to mask Democrat abuse of prosecutorial power for partisan purposes,” the RNC’s statement said, in part....

The debate will be moderated by Fox News’ Chris Wallace and cover a variety of topics, including the Supreme Court, the COVID-19 pandemic and recent protests in American cities. One question that many viewers will be asking, according to recent polls, is whether the candidates’ are mentally fit for the job. While Biden has a well-known history of gaffes, Trump’s public statements have raised concerns about his mental health....

Most notably, Trump praised Putin’s invasion into Ukraine as “genius” and “wonderful” in Tuesday’s broadcast of the conservative talk radio program The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Trump also referred to Putin as “tough” and patriotic. “I went in yesterday, and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius.’ Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine…as independent,” Trump said. “Oh, that’s wonderful. I said, ‘How smart is that?...

Catholic leaders in the U.S. introduced the proposed work, titled “The Mystery of the Eucharist in the Life of the Church,” as a “teaching document” about Communion, also referred to as the Eucharist. The document would not create a national policy on which U.S. politicians can or cannot receive Communion, the USCCB said ahead of the vote. The USCCB’s gathering this week in Baltimore follows a virtual conference in June, during which the assembly decided it would begin drafting the Eucharist document....
