She quickly became one with her treatment, deeply interested in all that was going on around her. A terrific patient, Eloise was always willing and able to help. “Can I flush my line?” was a common request. I remember one night, early in her treatment, when we took a late-night stroll around our wing at Children’s Hospital.

All that changed one winter when I strapped on a pair of skates and stepped onto the ice rink. I was working as an intern at Wolf Ridge, an Environmental Learning Center (ELC) near Silver Bay, in northern Minnesota. Not much comes easily in that part of Minnesota, especially during the long, frigid winter months. The folks who call this area home are determined to enjoy the weeks of minus-30-degree temperatures in the winter as well as the heat of summers....

Previous studies have linked food deserts to increased risk of heart disease and food swamps to higher rates of obesity. But there are limitations when it comes to studying and implementing effective policies to expand food and nutrition access. Opening new grocery stores in food deserts doesn’t always offer the solutions researchers might expect. For example, a 2014 report from the National Institutes of Health found that bringing a new grocery store to a low-income, low-food access neighborhood in Philadelphia didn’t significantly change diet quality for the residents....
Garrett, the first overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, was handed a new five-year deal by the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday that is believed to include $100 million in guarantees — the most ever for a defensive player. Although the pass rusher has been productive in Cleveland, recording 30.5 sacks across his three seasons, his most notable act on an NFL field so far came last November in an ill-tempered rivalry game against the Pittsburgh Steelers....
“I have all the evidence of the machines. Look at it. We’re getting more everyday. It’s going to the Supreme Court.

The animal was found in January by Christina Eyth, a local resident of Adams County. Eyth took it into local animal shelter Wildlife Works—but experts there were unable to determine its species.

On February 14, Wildlife Works announced that the animal’s DNA was 100 percent coyote....

Recently, Lindell has repeatedly expressed hope that his legal fight with Dominion would be taken “all the way to the Supreme Court.” Lindell announced the new lawsuit during a livestream Monday on Frankspeech.com, his social media network that has failed to launch twice. “MyPillow sued Dominion today for $1.6 billion,” he said. “It’s not about the money, it’s about our First Amendment rights of free speech.

Moustakas, 29, and Holland, 31, each made successful returns this year from serious injuries — a torn ACL in Moustakas’ case and a torn UCL in Holland’s case.

Speaking at an event in Duryea, Pennsylvania, Monday, Pence discussed the U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement that aims to boost North America’s economy and “create more balanced, reciprocal trade that supports high-paying jobs for Americans.” The vice president said Trump has managed to succeed where the former administration had not in terms of protecting manufacturing jobs, also touting “the man who wrote The Art of the Deal” as driving a hard bargain on trade to secure the best deal for American workers....
So, with the team trailing 10-6 at halftime, Mike Tomlin was faced with a decision. Would he stick with Mitch Trubisky or would he turn to rookie Kenny Pickett at quarterback? Tomlin ultimately decided to give Pickett a chance.

This translates to roughly 36 million people–not just fringe extremists but your office mate, mail carrier or soccer coach.
