Protective masks can get uncomfortable, especially after hours and hours of time in surgery. Your face itches. Your glasses fog up. It gets stuffy. But I always kept mine on, not just because it was the rule—but because I had a responsibility to keep my patients safe. As an anesthesiologist, my duty was to make sure people were comfortable, and in as little pain possible, during what was often among the most vulnerable moments of their life....

The pair previously exchanged words during the second half at the bet365 Stadium when Mourinho appeared to enter Hughes’ technical area, before tempers appeared to be calmed. But Mourinho walked straight past Hughes at full-time and did not entertain the possibility of a handshake with the former United star, who has had similar problems with Manuel Pellegrini and Tony Pulis in the past. “It [the handshake] didn’t happen,” Hughes told BBC Sport....

Navigating the present and charting the future requires being well informed by the past. Thus, a racially just United States of America requires a deep examination of how centuries of racial inequities have propelled injustices and imbalances in our nation’s educational, criminal justice, economic, health care and other social systems. Still, those who are viscerally advocating CRT also risk overlooking the past when it comes to setting a path forward....

‘Donnarumma has cost AC Milan €100m’ The 18-year-old USA international midfielder is one of the hottest prospects in Europe but does not plan to move away from Dortmund for quite some time – and never to their great rivals, who in the past have signed the likes of Mats Hummels, Robert Lewandowski and Mario Gotze (who has since returned). “I couldn’t do that,” he told Penn Live. Meanwhile, he has also said that he is not planning an immediate move to the Premier League, where Liverpool have been attributed with an interest....

Man Utd’s future bright under Mou There were doubts as to whether the 35-year-old could live up to the high expectations in the Premier League after impressing in Ligue 1, Serie A and LaLiga in the earlier stages of his career. Ibrahimovic has wasted little time in winning over his critics, though, scoring 16 goals in 25 appearances in all competitions. “Zlatan is a revelation for England, but not to the rest of the world,” Raiola told talkSPORT....

Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Kernodle’s boyfriend Ethan Chapin were found dead in an off-campus rental house in Moscow on November 13. More than a month on, mystery still surrounds the killings with police still yet to identify a suspect or make an arrest. As the tiny college town remains on edge, the case has fueled an army of online sleuths who have taken to discussing the case’s details on forums including Facebook and Reddit....

The governor made the announcement on social media. On Twitter, Little wrote he had informed state employees on Wednesday morning they can take advantage of the deal while getting the “safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine.” He posted the same message on Facebook, though he also included two additional sentences. The lines read: “I encourage private employers to consider offering their employees the same benefit. The COVID-19 vaccine is our best tool to protect jobs, strengthen our workforce, and save lives....

Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden said Monday all 24 eligible cities and 44 counties in the state agreed to sign up for the settlement against Johnson & Johnson and the three biggest drug distribution companies, AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health and McKesson. The state previously joined the settlement back in August and could have received a minimum of $64 million from the settlement. However, Governor Brad Little and Wasden opened up the settlement and allowed for local governments to join....

The Foxes were on the front foot in the opening exchanges and benefitted from an Iheanacho moment of brilliance to get the curtain raiser. The forward skillfully beat two defenders to lay the crucial pass for Jamie Vardy who slotted past Lukasz Fabianski. The 21-year-old created a chance for Mali youngster Diabate to mark his bow with a goal but his ferocious strike was met with equal quality from Fabianksi....

He left the Saturday game with two hits on four plate appearances, but he made it count. The heavy-hitting Davis stepped to the plate as a pinch hitter in the bottom of the ninth to face J.J. Hoover with the Mets trailing 3-2. Then this happened. Your browser does not support iframes. Pinch-hit walk-off grand slams are rather rare.

Casillas departs Real having amassed 725 appearances since making his debut away to Athletic Bilbao in 1999, and is expected to be replaced in Rafael Benitez’s side by Manchester United keeper David de Gea.

The ad—showing a black student in class with the title “Slave for sale (Naperville)"—was first posted on Craigslist, but quickly circulated among students at Naperville Central High School in Naperville, Illinois, on social media, ABC7 reported. The post sparked outrage among African American students at the school and their parents and prompted an investigation by school officials. Veronica Lewis told ABC7 she wasn’t surprised by the post because her own son had experienced racial bullying from other students at the school....

The Fighting Illini roared back to take a 69-68 lead in the waning seconds of regulation on their home floor. They needed one more defensive stop to secure victory. That’s when a series of disastrous events struck the hosts. First, Illinois allowed a putback dunk with that gave Michigan State a one-point edge with 6.6 seconds left. Then, leading scorer Ayo Dosunmu suffered a scary leg injury trying to beat the buzzer at the other end....

The IMF Executive Board said in a Friday release that the account had been approved “at the request of several IMF member countries.” The organization said that the account would “channel donor resources in the form of grants and loans” that could help stabilize the economy of the war-torn country, while donors would “benefit from the IMF’s tested infrastructure to quickly deliver authenticated payments.” Ukraine may receive its first large donation through the account from the government of Canada, which played a key role in the creation of the account and has pledged a loan of 1 billion Canadian dollars, or approximately $796 million in U....

But many buyers of these cards are being ripped off to the tune of millions of dollars a year. Some cards fail to deliver the promised minutes. Others tack on confusing fees that may not be listed in the microscopic print on the back of the card. Still others round up each call to the nearest three-minute mark. “Sometimes they give you all the minutes. Sometimes they don’t. Then you have to switch to a new card,” said Augusto Revolorio, a Miami Beach grocery stocker....

Rules outlined in a draft resolution by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) Monday originally showed the proceedings will slightly differ from the Clinton trial. They were later altered in Democrats’ favor, though the timeline remained compressed so that the arguments could conclude in just days. “The McConnell rules seem to be designed by President Trump, for President Trump, simply executed by Leader McConnell and Senate Republicans,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N....

Surgical complications can involve infections, persistent pain, inadequate wound healing, and joint stiffness. When you are planning to have hip or knee replacement surgery, it’s important to consider whether you are ready to take the steps that can help prevent complications. People who have a body mass index (BMI) of more than 40 are at a higher risk of post-operative infection and have a higher likelihood of requiring revision joint replacement surgery....

Who are the “potential co-conspirators” left unnamed and immunized in Epstein’s 2007 non-prosecution agreement, negotiated by Trump’s disgraced former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta? Why did Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance’s prosecutors intervene in an effort to downgrade Epstein from his Level 3 sex offender status, then fail to enforce—along with the NYPD—the court-mandated check-ins Epstein spurned? What are Epstein’s connections to the intelligence community? There is always the possibility that our institutions defer to the rich as a matter of course; that Epstein’s treatment is only a particularly grotesque form of business as usual....
