On Tuesday night, the Dodgers agreed a blockbuster trade for Boston Red Sox right fielder Mookie Betts, in exchange for outfielder Alex Verdugo. According to The Athletic, the Dodgers also acquired left-hander David Price from the Red Sox, while L.A. sent starter Kenta Maeda to the Minnesota Twins. The Twins, in turn, flipped reliever Brusdar Graterol to Boston. Betts won the 2018 World Series with the Red Sox and was named American League MVP....

Conte has tried a number of different combinations up front since the last international break and that is partly due to a hectic fixture list. However, he is also chopping and changing because he is still looking for the right attacking formula, as Chelsea have been guilty of wastefulness in recent weeks. Eden Hazard is being used as a false nine again, with Pedro and Willian feeding off him in a front three, because, after a great start to his Stamford Bridge career, summer signing Alvaro Morata has looked tired of late....

Only one other set of champions - Leicester City - had ever lost their opening game the season after lifting the title and Antonio Conte will point to a lack of options and signings in the transfer window as an excuse for the shock defeat. Chelsea 14/1 to win the Champions League Gary Cahill went in high and with a straight leg on Steven Defour to earn a 14th-minute red card that, admittedly, had a huge influence over the match but the Chelsea of last season would have found a way to dig in and at least earn a draw....

A nonprofit organization called Students for Concealed Carry on Campus would like to change that. The group, whose 12,000 members nationwide include college students, faculty and parents, champions legislation that would allow licensed gun owners to carry concealed weapons on campus, in the hope that an alert and well-trained citizen could stop a deranged shooter before he or she could do serious damage. According to the National Conference on State Legislatures, 13 states are currently considering some form of “concealed carry” legislation aimed at campuses....

More than 65 healthcare institutions have already established vaccine mandates for employees, including notable names like the Mayo Clinic Health System and Duke University Health System. A survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation in April found that about 48% of frontline healthcare workers were still not vaccinated against COVID-19, even though they are among the first groups of people to be offered the vaccine back in December. This is in stark contrast to the 96% vaccination rate among practicing physicians, as reported by the American Medical Association (AMA)....

Why such a stir? Last month PBS aired a documentary based largely on Snell’s research. The film, “Taken for a Ride,” alleges that GM conspired to destroy the trolley industry in the 1940s. GM shot back at PBS, calling the film “an electronic cheap shot.” There will be harsher words when Snell’s book arrives. Among his allegations: that GM collaborated with the Nazis. A GM spokesman hasn’t seen the manuscript–nor has NEWSWEEK–but he dismisses what he’s heard about Snell’s work as “old, discredited myths” and calls the Nazi charge “totally false and irresponsible....

A new poll from Suffolk University/USA Today found Trump to be narrowly ahead of the Democratic candidate in a head-to-head matchup. Forty-one percent of voters said they’d back the president compared with 39 percent who would vote for whoever ends up being the Democratic Party’s nominee. Ten percent of voters said they would support a third-party candidate. The survey also showed that support for Trump in the 2020 election had actually increased from a similar poll conducted in August....

A Customs and Border Protection spokesperson provided Newsweek with the following comment: “On January 10, 2022, at approximately 4:45 a.m., U.S. Customs and Border Protection [CBP] components along with our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners responded to a maritime smuggling event involving a large group of migrants that made landfall near Ocean Reef in Key Largo, Florida.” “The investigation regarding this incident remains ongoing,” the spokesperson added....

The Wikileaks founder spent seven years in the Ecuadorian embassy prior to his arrest in April and first-person accounts of those that have seen him since claim he is fighting for his life. Those accounts—in addition to the finding by the U.N.’s Nils Melzer that Assange was “exposed to psychological torture”—prompted a letter requesting urgent medical treatment addressed to the British home secretary, Priti Patel. “We write this open letter, as medical doctors, to express our serious concerns about the physical and mental health of Julian Assange,” the letter read....

Five people have been arrested on various charges relating to the theft of 82 guns, but officials have been able to recover only a handful. ​​"I’ve got 24 years in LAPD, ex-military, secret clearance and I have to wait 10 days to get a new firearm and these guys are going into these containers with no locks and getting guns," Capt. German Hurtado told the Los Angeles Times. “These guns were unguarded, unprotected....

Researchers analyzing anti-vaccine ads running in late 2018 and early 2019 found more than half were posted by two groups—the World Mercury Project and Stop Mandatory Vaccination. Both these groups are run by private individuals—the former by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., son of Robert F. Kennedy and Ethel Skakel. “The average person might think that this anti-vaccine movement is a grassroots effort led by parents, but what we see on Facebook is that there are a handful of well-connected, powerful people who are responsible for the majority of advertisements,” lead author Amelia Jamison, a faculty research assistant in the Maryland Center for Health Equity, said in a statement....

The poll, which was conducted by Monmouth University, found 54 percent of Americans disagreeing with the bill going into effect, while 39 percent of respondents said they agreed with the Supreme Court’s decision. Across different political party affiliations, the poll found 73 percent of Democrats disagreeing with the decision while 62 percent of Republicans say they agree. The bill, also known as the Heartbeat Act, went into effect earlier this month, and prohibits abortions in the state after the sixth week of pregnancy....

In the journal Science, a team headed by J. Craig Venter of the Institute for Genomic Research argues that the hardy organism and others like it make up what amounts to a third branch on the tree of life. Known as Archaea, for their ancient heritage, these microbes share traits with organisms in each of the two previously recognized biological ““domains’’ into which life has been divided according to its complexity....

However, Waller is also the fourth NFL player this offseason to be suspended for a year, all for substance-abuse violations … all at least believed to be marijuana-related. Two days before Waller, ESPN reported that former Bill and Steeler Karlos Williams got the one-year ban. Less than two weeks ago, it was former Brown and Steeler Justin Gilbert. Right after last regular season ended, it was the Cowboys’ Randy Gregory....

The team was tested in its first match, recording a 1-1 draw against Scandinavian opponents, before recording a 2-0 win over France four days later. Head coach Vlatko Andonovski will be mostly satisfied too, as he saw his team respond well to a subpar display against Sweden, had a chance to test out new tactical looks and likely narrowed down his roster even further ahead of the Olympics this summer....

While Fifa’s bid evaluation Task Force is expected to announce if both bids have satisfied criteria to be eligible to contest on May 29, the jostling for the votes have climaxed with few key electors yet to pronounce their allegiance. “The Task Force charged by Fifa to evaluate both the North American and Morocca 2026 Fifa World Cup bids will make its verdict on the eligibility of both files to progress to Fifa congress on May 29,” Sky Sports News quoted the Morocco bid as saying....

World Cup forward Chris Wondolowski and national team camp rookies Keegan Rosenberry and Taylor Kemp were among the players left out of Arena’s squad for the friendly, which will be played at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego. Jordan Morris and Juan Agudelo made the cut ahead of Wondolowski, who at 33 might be at the end of his national team career. Morris, 22, is fresh off winning an MLS Cup, while Agudelo, 24, is enjoying a career renaissance with the New England Revolution....
