Kazakhstan asked Russia to send troops as the nation faces unrest and violent protests sparked by a hike in gas prices. On Friday, Blinken told reporters that officials have “questions about the nature” of Kazakhstan’s request, and added that it would seem that the “Kazakh authorities and government certainly have the capacity to deal appropriately with protests—to do so in a way that respects the rights of protesters while maintaining law and order....

Several states, including North Dakota, Wyoming and Louisiana, are revisiting potential marijuana legalization efforts, including second considerations of how tax revenue and enforcement tactics should differ between the legalized use of CBD, cannabidiol and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) products. But data published by Invisibly’s Realtime Research survey of 1,087 U.S. adults found the public is largely unaware of key differences between the various cannabis cousins. More than two-thirds, 68 percent, said they didn’t realize there was any difference between the non-psychoactive CBD and the psychoactive THC component found in marijuana....

On Monday and Tuesday, equipped with large posters of Americans who they said would lose their health care should the Supreme Court overturn the ACA, Democratic senators of the Senate Judiciary Committee pressed on Barrett to protect the law in both their opening remarks and lines of questioning. However, six of the 10 minority members have previously expressed interest in replacing that same Obama-era health care system with Medicare for All....

NEWSWEEK: How did you conduct the study? Eric Campbell: It’s based on a survey of 1,662 practicing physicians in late 2003 and 2004. We focused on six specialties—family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics, cardiology, general surgery and anesthesiology. We also looked at whether these doctors worked in hospitals, universities, HMOs, group practice or solo or two-person practice. And we looked at gender. Were you surprised at the findings? I was surprised at the sheer percentage of physicians who have financial relationships with the drug industry....

In a September study published in JAMA Ophthalmology, researchers examined people hospitalized in China for COVID-19. Fewer of these patients wore glasses for extended daily use compared to the general population. Researchers believe the lower rate of COVID-19 in eyeglass wearers might be because lenses encourage less eye rubbing. If the virus lives on their hands, this could potentially serve as a barrier from COVID-19 infection through the eyes....

The Vera Institute of Justice found there was a record 14 percent drop of incarcerations during the first half of 2020, down from 2.1 million people to 1.8 million. The declining rates didn’t last long—numbers of people incarcerated are already rapidly increasing as restrictions ease with the dropping cases of COVID-19. Not only did the pandemic reveal the unnecessary incarceration of thousands in the States, but it exacerbated the unique struggles women were already facing in custody and highlighted the essential reform needed for women vulnerable to the criminal justice system....

Nikki Manning, 30, was arrested and charged after deputies received reports of possible child abuse in a Greenville, North Carolina, home dating back to October. The toddler was taken to Vidant Medical Center where medical staff noticed the child had multiple fingernails and toenails missing. “Hospital staff alerted the Pitt County Department of Social Services due to finding multiple serious injuries on the child, to include the loss of multiple fingernails and toenails,” a statement from Pitt County Sheriff’s Office read....

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) said Melissa Towne claimed to have killed her child at Spring Creek Park in Tomball on Sunday. According to Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, preliminary information suggested the child—possibly 5 or 6 years old—was stabbed by her mother and that the victim was transported to a nearby hospital shortly afterward. An April Texas State Child Fatality Review Team Committee report found there were 2,851 child deaths due to “external causes, including accidental deaths, homicides and suicides” between 2017 and 2019....

Lung, about 300 kilometers west of Katmandu, lacks running water, electricity and phone service. But there is no shortage of 50-year-old political ideology. Maoist rants are considered old-think in neighboring China. With some consternation, Beijing officials have stressed that they have nothing to do with Nepal’s Maoists. But don’t tell that to the villagers in Lung. The rally seemed straight out of Mao Zedong’s Long March–complete with the traditional musical instruments (such as bulbous drums and curved trumpets) and song-and-dance troupes....

Mkhitaryan joined United from Borussia Dortmund for a transfer fee in the region of €40 million, but initially struggled to live up to the high expectations at Old Trafford. ‘Mkhi absence cost Utd seven points’ He has broken into the starting XI in recent weeks, though, and Mourinho has praised the 27-year-old’s attitude. “We bought him because I asked the club to do it, because I liked the player and analysed him,” said the Portuguese....

Asked about Ferdinand’s comments, Mourinho told reporters: “I respect Rio. He was a big guy in my club....

After 12 years, the Reagan-Bush revolution appears to be in its Final Days. Staffers have not exactly draped black crepe over the White House, but within the West Wing can be heard the whine of axes grinding and the churn of Xerox machines cranking out resumes. Barring the greatest performance in the history of presidential debates on Monday night, the appearance of a terrible ghost from Bill Clinton’s past, or an act of God, George Bush seems fated to be a one-term president....

It's not only that the world has caught up to Tiger. It has passed him at a high rate of speed and he is receding in the rear-view mirror even as we speak. "To sit here with the U.S. Open trophy," Kaymer said, sitting there with the U.S. Open trophy late on Sunday night, "is . . ." A loss of words. Thinking . . . ". . . very, very happy....

Jackson had asked if I’d like to spend a day as an extra to get a new perspective on filmmaking. First came the costume, including thermal underwear, brown robe, leather vest and rough green cape, all of it draped on me by kindly crew members. (Among my many firsts was having a man say, “Hitch up your skirts for me?”) Then the makeup: a beard and mustache made out of yak hair and dirt for my face, though no blood, despite my request....

The Black Cats are rooted to the foot of the Premier League table, with Moyes yet to taste a top-flight victory at the helm. His position has come under increasing pressure and last weekend’s 2-0 loss at Stoke City, which was also winless, represented a new low. But the former Manchester United boss has received backing from the board room ahead of Saturday’s trip to West Ham. “It’s been a turbulent start,” Bain told the club’s website....
