As they played the tree-studded course on the banks of the Potomac River, Graham assured Trump that Senate Republicans had his back on the formal impeachment inquiry underway in the House. But Graham’s principal message that day focused on Iran—namely the need to punish the Islamic Republic militarily for what Trump and many others believe was its drone-and-cruise-missile attack on two major Saudi Arabian oil facilities two weeks earlier....

Kyle Heyen, a former police officer who is also the founder of Detector Dogs International, told Newsweek on Friday that cadaver dogs are able to detect human body odor through water and wouldn’t normally miss it. But, there were some contributing factors as to why they weren’t able to detect the body earlier in the search. The FBI on Thursday confirmed that the remains found belonged to Laundrie, Gabby Petito’s fiancée, based on dental records that matched those of the 23-year-old....

“This is all actually pretty new,” Aaron Peacock, PhD, director of molecular biology at Microbac Laboratories, Inc, tells Verywell. “It hasn’t really been done on a regular basis…most of these companies that are doing wastewater [testing] are our utility companies, so they’re in cities or counties, or they’re utility districts, and they’re heavily regulated.” Peacock was not involved in testing the University of Arizona’s dorm sewage, but Microbac Laboratories is currently working with other colleges and universities to test their wastewater for SARS-CoV-2 viral count....

Specific testing is done in people who are seriously ill with a suspected West Nile infection but is only rarely done in those who have the mild flu-like form of the disease. Viral Detection Examining blood or body fluid for the West Nile virus itself is accomplished with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, which can identify actual viral RNA. However, PCR testing is not always useful for diagnosing the virus in humans....

Manager Juan Carlos Osorio said at a news conference Monday that the starting XI he chooses will show a desire to win. But how exactly will that look? Below, Goal takes a look at three potential lineups. Remember, there are a number of absences from the squad originally called in. Hirving Lozano and Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez didn’t travel to Honduras with the team, Lozano because of an injury and Chicharito because of a personal matter....

That’s what happens when you total 386 yards and five touchdowns in a 49-37 win at Michigan State. Not that the speculation hasn’t already started. You know, Barrett and Braxton Miller, who is rehabbing from season-ending surgery on his throwing shoulder, can’t both start at quarterback next season for the Buckeyes. When it comes to Urban Meyer, you can’t help but wonder if he can actually devise a way to somehow make that possible....

In Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the court will consider a 2018 Mississippi law that forbids abortions after 15 weeks on the grounds that a fetus at that stage is viable outside the womb. Jackson Women’s Health Organization successfully argued to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that a fetus is not viable at 15 weeks and the court blocked the law. The Supreme Court will now decide whether “all pre-viability prohibitions on elective abortions are unconstitutional....

As soon as Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota and Bryce Petty closed the book on their great campus careers, they took their next full-time job — preparing for their ultimate job interview. They just did it in an unusual way — by training right next to each other. In the short time after the 2014 college football bowl season and before this week’s 2015 NFL Combine in Indianapolis, the soon-to-be rookie passers took their respective crash courses....

I remember how I felt during the years leading up to the rape–invulnerable, tough, fearless. I traveled overseas because I wanted to push past the boundaries of my small New Jersey town. I left my first boyfriend at home–I remember how thrilling it was a few months before to discover love and sex. I had just finished my freshman year at college. Life was impossibly wonderful. Then, one week into my trip, two men dragged me into a field, beat me with a club and took turns raping me....

“When I was working hard, raising my family, you were busy drinking yourself and your family into the ground. Why don’t you tell us how many times you got behind the wheel of a car with a few drinks under your belt? Where I come from, we call that a drunk. “When I was serving in the U.S. Senate, your own father’s government had to investigate you on the charge that you’d swindled a bunch of old people out of their life savings by using insider knowledge to sell off stocks you knew were about to drop....

In a statement, the HBCU located in Washington, D.C. said it has been working with the FBI to address the incident and restore operations after the cyberattack, “but please consider that remediation, after an incident of this kind, is a long haul – not an overnight solution.” The physical campus will only be open to essential employees on Tuesday, and the campus Wi-Fi is expected to remain down until the school determines “the best and safest path to stand it up....

The team, led by Radek Klanica, from the Institute of Geophysics, Czech Academy of Sciences, used a range of geophysical techniques to take new measurements of the cave. A survey in 2016 found the cave to be at least 475.5 meters (1,560 feet) deep. However, at this time the optic communication cable that was used to measure the cave prevented them from going any deeper, Science magazine reports. In a study published in JGR: Earth Surface, researchers have now reported the cave goes far deeper than was once thought—around 1km....

New York City Police Department (NYPD) Commissioner Keechant Sewell said at a press conference that the unidentified woman and 7-year-old boy were pronounced dead after being pulled out of the river by first responders. While authorities have yet to release details regarding the incident, Sewell said it could have been worse. “This is a tragic day for New Yorkers,” said Sewell. “Indeed, it may have well been worse were it not for the incredible effort by not only our own extraordinary first responders but also the swift response from New York Waterway ferries who rescued nine additional people from the water....

She tries to touch a similar nerve in her new book, “Pigs at the Trough: How Corporate Greed and Political Corruption are Undermining America’’ (Crown). Who’s to blame for the “lunatic excesses’’ of the ’90s that left portfolios in ruins? She says “the awful truth is that the corporate tricksters have pillaged the U.S. economy’’ and paid “legal bribes’’ to make politicians look the other way. Well, yes. Huffington spends much ink touring the hall of shame of fallen CEOs and their $6,000 shower curtains (in one of her quizzes, you can link a CEO to “slime mold’’)....

Over the last few days, protests have occurred in Prague, Czech Republic; Tbilisi, Georgia; Paris and Lyon, France; Bratislava, Slovakia; Frankfurt and Munich, Germany; Vilnius, Lithuania as well as in other towns and cities.

The question of “who is the whitest” came up in the opening minutes of the debate held on the campus of the University of South Carolina, where hundreds of concerned white male voters gathered to hear the candidates speak. “Not only am I the whitest male in this race, I am the whitest male named Thompson in this race,” said former Wisconsin governor Tommy Thompson in an apparent reference to former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson, who is poised to become the eleventh white male vying for the GOP nod....

Mikhail Benyash told the Financial Times, in an article published on Friday, that since he said he would defend 12 national guardsmen who were fired for refusing to go to war in Ukraine, about 1,000 people have contacted his team. All 12 have filed wrongful dismissal suits. “A lot of people don’t want to go and fight,” Benyash told the newspaper. According to human rights lawyer Pavel Chikhov, Captain Farid Chitav, and 11 of his subordinates were members of Rosgvardia—the National Guard which mainly has a policing role in Russia—and refused to enter neighboring Ukraine on February 25, saying that the orders were “illegal....
