By most measures, the U.N. flunked the Bush test. The Security Council spoke of serious consequences, but refused to support the war. In the president’s terms, the U.N. was now irrelevant. Yet there was President Bush again on Tuesday, standing by the same green marble. On the sidelines, his diplomats were pressing for U.N. help to rebuild Iraq while Bush made his own case. Rather than irrelevent, the United Nations he described in his speech is doing “vital and effective work” in Iraq....

The idea of crawling out from under the covers and heading to “Camp Sanderson” for intense hour-long offseason sessions with Jon Sanderson, Michigan’s strength and conditioning coach, and teammate Caris LeVert wasn’t exactly appealing when his whole body ached and he would have rather stayed in bed at least a few more minutes. In those bleary-eyed moments, Stauskas always returned to the darkest hour of his college basketball career and found ample motivation....

The film, titled Reflect, features a character named Bianca who struggles with body dysmorphia. In the short film, Bianca practices ballet through broken mirrors, symbolizing overcoming her low self-esteem. The short was created by Walt Disney Animation Studios and sparked some online discourse, as some argued that the film was encouraging “an unhealthy lifestyle even more rather than addressing the issue,” one user on Twitter wrote. “There’s an obesity problem in our country which costs our NHS millions of pounds every year,” user @leebrianfielder tweeted....

The Valley wants out, and leaders there have petitioned an obscure government agency with a comedy-club acronym to call an election for November so Angelenos can decide whether this marriage can be saved. Taking the Valley’s lead, two other sections–Hollywood and the harbor area–are petitioning LAFCO (Local Agency Formation Commission) for elections that would split them from the city, too. If secession succeeds, a metropolis of 3.7 million could be sliced in half overnight....
Now it’s time for the awkward record scratch: In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a burgeoning, bloated group of Yankees fans who really, really want you to believe that DJ LeMahieu was the 2019 AL MVP. If the finalists for the voting prove anything, it’s this: That is not the case. The three AL MVP finalists didn’t feature any surprises — the Angels’ Mike Trout, the Astros’ Alex Bregman and the Athletics’ Marcus Semien....
Previous scientific thought has suggested dogs can respond to their owner crying, purely through the sounds. A study in 2019 said dogs manipulate their facial expressions to better communicate with humans. However, other discussions have suggested dogs can go even further to notice their owners’ anguish. Do Dogs Know When You’re Sad? A study in 2016 from the University of Lincoln, U.K., suggested dogs can recognize human emotions. In the research, 17 domestic dogs listened to sounds paired with images in different combinations, showing positive or negative emotional expressions....

No. Waking head injury patients every hour or so was the standard assessment tool many years ago, but treatment has changed with technology like computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners. Even today, however, it’s easy to see how waking head injury patients (not necessarily keeping them awake) seems to be their ticket to survival. Glasgow Coma Scale One low-tech tool that we still use to assess head injury patients is called the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), which measures the brain’s ability to function....
Back-to-back losses for the Steelers (11-2) have put them behind Kansas City in the race for the AFC’s No. 1 seed.

Am I different? Yeah. Deep down, you know you want to wear wider bottoms; you’re just not secure enough… Do I do my hair with a weed whacker? I admit it.' On the House floor the day he was expelled. When I walk on the floor for the final execution I’ll wear a denim suit. I’ll walk in there like Willie Nelson, John Wayne, Will Smith, “Men in Black,” James Brown....
The 47-year-old Trabuco Canyon, Calif., woman took one look at the plastic face mask, the long tubing and the whirring motor that ran all night and decided there were worse things than a few snuffles and snorts. As far as she was concerned, the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machine—known as a CPAP—was a threat to her 22-year marriage. “Things were great in the bedroom,” Peterson said. “Then there was this thing strapped to his head....
The video, which can be seen here, shows a uterus and the cancerous cervix attached to it and has been viewed more than 80,000 times at the time of writing. “I see what a disease can do, what it can do when left for a long time,” Paweł Ziora, the pathologist who shared the video, told Newsweek over email. “What I find hard to stand is that some of those diseases could be caught much, much earlier, causing much less damage....
Donahue bounded to the front of the theater just like he did back in the day, his full head of gray hair making him instantly recognizable along with his signature enthusiasm. He’d never made a movie before, but three years ago, as he stood by the bedside of a wounded Iraqi vet recovering from a spinal injury, he determined that the American people should see this. He recalled the iconic picture from the Vietnam War of the naked child running from napalm....
