People who believe we’re headed for a recession should remember that investing is counterintuitive. In a full-fledged recession, savvy investors are buying into stocks. “You must be present to win,” says Curt Rohrman, a fund manager for USAA. Stock turnarounds can be swift and unpredictable. Miss the best 2 percent of days in the market and you can cut your average returns from 19.87 percent to 1.9 percent, says University of Missouri professor John Stowe....
The answer might not be as simple as you think. The Division III standout Marpet caught people’s attention after posting a surprisingly fast 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine. In fact, he was only one-tenth of a second slower than Winston’s 4.97.

Ultimately, you can only afford so many contrarian picks on slates like this, and certain “chalk” picks are hard to avoid. For this slate, Cam Akers and even Devin Singletary might be those guys. Singletary can be faded (though we don’t), but Akers is almost a must-play. If you fade him and he struggles, you’ll be in great shape, but that’s a big risk, especially with so few high-upside backs available....
Bivol (21-0, 11 KOs) was back in the ring for his first outing since defeating pound-for-pound king Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and faced a very different problem in the form of hulking Mexican southpaw Ramirez, who carried a 44-0 record into the ring. The fighters clashed in centre-ring after a fiery exchange at the end of round one, but any suggestions of a barnburner proved to be misplaced as Bivol immaculately went through his repertoire to win a unanimous decision by margins of 118-110 and 117-111 (twice)....
When Omicron first hit in late 2021, the FDA said that antigen tests do detect the variant but that the tests may have reduced sensitivity. Researchers have been trying to figure out how well rapid tests spot an Omicron infection. They’ve concluded that while at-home COVID tests can pick up Omicron variants—including BA.5—there are some key steps that people need to take to get an accurate result. If a COVID test has low sensitivity, it means there’s a higher chance it will give a negative result to people who are sick (false negative)....
Fried, who earlier this year announced her intention to challenge Governor Ron DeSantis during the state’s next gubernatorial election, said the Florida Department of Health has “a significant number” of tests that she said “are set to expire imminently.” She noted that the tests’ exact expiration dates were unknown, which she attributed to DeSantis’ “lack of transparency throughout this pandemic.” Citing the recent rise in new virus infections in Florida because of the spread of the Omicron variant, Fried called upon DeSantis to release the stockpile of tests she said the health department has and distribute them to governments in the state’s counties and cities....
Although you cannot get your family covered by Medicare, your family life plays a role in how much you will pay for Medicare. Underage Children Being Raised by Medicare Beneficiaries In 2010, the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) allowed young adults under the age of 26 to remain on their parents’ health plans. The problem? This provision does not extend to Medicare. That can put many families on the hook for paying out of pocket for other sources of health care....
It doesn’t matter whether you get tested at one of your local free STI testing clinics or at your healthcare provider’s office. However, there generally are ways to protect your privacy. STIs are classified as reportable diseases for a reason. Because most of them can only be transmitted through sex, it should (in theory) be possible to stamp the treatable STIs out of existence through reporting and contact tracing. The problem is that these diseases are so often asymptomatic that it can be difficult to locate everyone who is infected and help them to find treatment....
Throughout most of Western history, the Devil was both familiar and feared. Jesus was tempted by him. Saint Anthony wrestled with him. Luther mocked him but trembled in his presence. For the Puritans of New England, Satan was never just a metaphor for evil: he was Evil personified, an intimate cosmic presence transcending individual sins and sinners. In Milton’s “Paradise Lost,” his story achieved the status of a Western classic....
In the viral clip, shared on TikTok on Monday by the dog’s owner under the username tiannuh_, the Doberman can be seen walking towards his owner all excited carrying a hatchet before being told off. The hilarious footage comes with a caption that says on behalf of the dog: “Hey you! frow dis,” followed by his owner’s answer: “Lincoln that isn’t a stick!” According to the Humane Society Naples, dogs love playing fetch because it’s instinctive for them....
Jason Lance, a radiologist from Ogden, Utah, attempted to reach the summit of the tallest mountain in North America in May. The Associated Press reported that Lance teamed with another man court documents named “A.R.” to climb the West Buttress route. When A.R. began to show signs of altitude sickness, Lance reportedly left him with another climbing group to try to summit alone, taking A.R.’s satellite communication device with him....
Grade 1: The nipple protracts easily when you apply light pressure to the areola. When pressure is released, the nipple maintains its projection, rather than retracting immediately. Grade 1 inverted nipples are unlikely to interfere with breastfeeding, though you still may have cosmetic concerns. There is little to no fibrosis (excess connective tissue) in Grade 1 inverted nipples. Grade 2: The nipple protracts when pressure is applied, though not very easily, and retracts as soon as pressure is released....
Dr. Paul Marik worked at Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) since 2009, where he held the positions of professor of medicine and chief of pulmonary and critical care medicine. He also had privileges in the intensive care unit at Virginia’s Sentara Norfolk General Hospital. Marik announced his resignation from the school in a Tuesday news release put out by the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCCA). Marik said in the statement, “This was not an easy decision to make, but I felt it was time to focus my attention and energy to other interests in both academia and public health....
The Dodgers are the first team to have at least a 36-6 record since the 1942 Cardinals: They look to capture their first World Series since 1988, and perhaps make success over a random span of 42 games look a little less arbitrary. Note: This list doesn’t include the successes of National Association or American Association baseball teams — only squads that would eventually join the American League or the National League later on....
MORE: Are these aces broken? | Watch Puig hang over 1,168-foot tower The Dodgers outfielder stayed in the batter’s box, admiring his long drive to right field in the sixth inning, until it bounced off the outfield wall, turning what he assumed was a home run into a very long single — and a one-way ticket to the bench. “In my opinion, he should have been on second base,” Roberts told reporters after the game (via Dodgers....
For the record, the Los Angeles Dodgers won the game 3-1 with a dominant performance from Clayton Kershaw and Scott Van Slyke's two-run homer in the fourth inning.

What’s new In recent years, the Dodgers have earned a reputation as being "Yankees West." They have shown a fondness for a particular brand of conspicuous consumption (i.e., Big Money for Big Names). So it’s a little surprising when you realize that their biggest move of the offseason was extending Clayton Kershaw’s contract. Granted, that contract made Kershaw baseball’s first $30 million man, but you expected the Dodgers to snag a Masahiro Tanaka here and a Robinson Cano there, maybe topping things off by drastically overpaying a reliever they don’t really need....
Coming into the game, Brandon Lowe was 6 for 61 (.098) this postseason, but he broke out in a big way in Game 2. Lowe got things started for Tampa Bay with a solo shot in the first inning. Then, after Joey Wendle delivered a two-out, two-run double in the fourth, Lowe added a two-out, two-run homer in the fifth to give the Rays a 5-0 lead. While the Rays’ offense was sizzling early, Blake Snell was cooking on the mound....
The Red Sox staff did its best to stifle Dodgers bats, and stifle them they did: the Dodgers scored three runs off Boston starter Chris Sale in just over four innings of work, and would score just one run over the next five in the 8-4 loss. Manny Machado’s three-RBI night just wasn’t enough for the Dodgers, who left a small village on the basepaths in the game. It was the heroics of pinch-hitting Eduardo Núñez which sealed the win for Boston — Núńez hit a three-run bomb in the seventh to push Boston to an 8-4 lead, which they would not relinquish....
