NEWSWEEK: A primary treatment for gonorrhea no longer works in more than 13 percent of cases surveyed by the CDC. What about the other 87 percent? Should those patients keep taking quinolones, or do the CDC’s new recommendations apply to them as well? John Douglas: For all practical purposes, the new recommendation affects everybody. The reason is that most of the time patients don’t know what strain they have. The old clinical tests for gonorrhea, where you grow bacteria in a culture and see what it takes to kill it, could tell you whether a strain was resistant or not....

Dry eye occurs due to a lack of adequate tear production or it can also occur when tears are absorbed too quickly. Because tear production tends to diminish as you get older, dry eye is more common in people over 50 years old. Frequent Symptoms For some people, dry eye symptoms are mild and feel like a speck of sand in the eye, or stinging or burning that doesn’t go away....

And that quarterback better be more than just a thrower. Look at every big game involving ranked teams and see where the position has clearly evolved. Even pro-style Alabama, with its power run and throw off play action philosophy, has given in. If you’re playing quarterback for an elite program, more than likely, you’re dual-threat. Auburn has Nick Marshall, and on the other side Saturday night, LSU moved this week to freshman Brandon Harris....

That's what makes this whole ordeal with now former Oregon tight end Colt Lyerla so intriguing. Not because of Lyerla's value to the team, but because of how it could impact a team built to win it all. For the first time since he took over as coach at Oregon in January, Mark Helfrich is dealing with drama. "We've moved on," Helfrich says. "It's not about any single one of us, myself included....

In June, it was reported U.S. intelligence had concluded a Russian unit had offered the Taliban payments of up to $100,000 for each U.S. or allied soldier killed. The Illinois senator, who is the only vice-presidential contender to have military combat experience, was asked by ABC News whether she believed the allegations of bounties being offered. “I believe it is very credible, yes, it is something that would be consistent with how our adversaries act,” she told the Powerhouse Politics podcast....

Turns out, the Wolfpack were just as dangerous on the court. MORE: NCAA basketball scoreboard | SN’s All-American teams It took until N.C. State missed a half-court heave at the buzzer before Duke (23-9, 12-7 ACC) sealed a 92-89 thriller Wednesday afternoon, escaping to the next round in the ACC Tournament and avoiding another perplexing loss in a bafflingly underachieving season. The Wolfpack — the No. 12 seed and only 5-13 in conference in the regular season — got its final chance when Duke’s Luke Kennard (team-high 22 points) missed the front end of a one-and-one with 1....

For instance, the band—Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Andy Taylor and Roger Taylor—would be holed up in hotels under aliases and stalked by their predominantly female fans camping downstairs. It got to the point where O’Regan himself received phone calls in his hotel room from those fans hoping to connect with a band member. “If you wanted to find the band, you’d phone the top few hotels and you asked for me,” O’Regan recalls to Newsweek with a laugh....

The Durant-Anthony showdown between the NBA's top two scorers was canceled because of Anthony's sprained left ankle, so the Thunder had the Christmas spotlight all to themselves while winning for the 10th time in 11 games. Westbrook finished with 14 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists in his first triple-double of the season and seventh of his career. Serge Ibaka added 24 points on 10-of-14 shooting. Amare Stoudemire scored a season-high 22 points, and Tim Hardaway Jr....

FedEx Cup leader and world No. 1 Johnson carded an even-par 70 to claim the outright lead at 13 under through 36 holes in Atlanta on Saturday. Johnson was tied for the lead alongside world No. 2 and BMW Championship winner Jon Rahm heading into the second round at East Lake. But Johnson, The Northern Trust champion, stood alone atop the leaderboard in the FedEx Cup playoff finale following four birdies and four bogies on a mixed day as Rahm could only shoot a 74....

The bunker in question was so run-down that it resembled an old cart path more than a sand bunker. Add in the fact that people were standing in this hazard, and it was about 40 yards off the fairway, and it’s hard to blame Johnson for the error that kept him out of a playoff.

It wasn’t because he was nervous. It wasn’t because he was superstitious. It certainly wasn’t because he was unaware. No, the reason he didn’t watch the final out fall into right fielder Kyle Tucker’s glove was much more simple, and much more pure: He had to write down the scoring of the final play on his scorecard.

First, though, I have my own mea culpa. In the winter of 1996, I tracked down the survivors of one village in the Srebrenica enclave. Most were women and children deported by the Bosnian Serbs, who then killed all the men and boys they could find. At the time there was no solid evidence of this, and the Serbs hotly disputed it. So I thought if I found every family from this one village, Lehovici, and brought them together, their cumulative story would be compelling and moving proof....

I’ve never been the type of player that has to do something illegal to win. It’s upsetting.” Howard said he’s not doing anything he hasn’t done in the past — or that other players aren’t doing. “I’ve been using the spray for the last five years,” he said....
