Kami is part of a trend that is transforming both public health and popular entertainment. From New York to New Delhi, health advocates are discovering that rock stars, cartoon characters and fictional detectives can change hearts and minds in a way that pamphlet-wielding experts never will. In rural India a popular BBC character named Detective Vijay has put a new face on HIV and AIDS by turning up positive in the course of a serial TV and radio drama....

Gen. Pervez Musharraf, who came to power in 1999, now seems to have started down the same path. In all likelihood, his days as Pakistan’s leader are numbered. Protests, which started in the legal community, have expanded to students, journalists and political activists. Individuals who hardly knew Iftikar Chaudhry, the former chief justice of Pakistan, now see him as a potential savior. Musharraf has an opportunity to break the tragic pattern of military generals clinging to power....

He found some. “Inverted World” was the audio equivalent of being lathered with VapoRub. It felt refreshing, but that eventually wore off. The album had tonal uniformity. On “Chutes Too Narrow” (Sub Pop), Mercer’s voice is more exploratory–and that’s a plus. “I have more confidence in ‘Just sing the song. Don’t worry too much’,” says Mercer. He lightens up on “Turn a Square,” writing, “Hand in hand to the grass we got it right/Just a glimpse of an ankle and I react like it’s 1805....

That’s when I decided to try a little experiment with DHEA. I had read claims that it could preserve lean body mass while boosting memory and immune function. And though no one has conducted long-term studies, I knew that side effects were rare. So after informing my doctor, I picked up a jar of 25-milligram capsules and started taking one with breakfast every morning. I didn’t get any better with names, and I had to wonder about the immunity part when I promptly developed a horrendous 10-day cold....

During the Senegal international’s spell with the Toffees U23 side, he was paired with the 20-year-old striker - a combination that produced eight goals. Now back in the senior setup with the youngster, both players were on the scoresheet in last week’s dramatic 3-2 win over Watford at Goodison Park. Niasse’s 67th minute effort halved the hosts’ two-goal deficit before Calvert-Lewin netted the equaliser six minutes after his intoduction in the 68th minute....

My sense of wonder is seriously “adulterated.” I’m too busy looking for work as a media marketing producer and raising a family. I don’t have much time for such grandiose concerns as nature. That all changed last summer when my wife, Andrea, called me outside and asked me to help keep two hopping baby birds from frying in the hot sun against the far wall of our backyard. Busy at work on my computer, I grudgingly headed to the calamity, expecting to offer a brief but effective helping hand....

The No. 15 is his college jersey at Texas A&M, which is an uncommon choice for a defensive end. “It was a friendly wager between me and my high school (defensive line) coach,” Garrett told co-host Gil Brandt and me Wednesday night on SiriusXM NFL Radio. “He challenged me to get 15 sacks a season.” Garrett now has another quest. That’s becoming the first Aggie player selected with the top overall pick in April’s draft — regardless of which team does the choosing....

Garrett posted a screenshot of the text notification to Twitter with the caption: “Yeaaa they are trying to clone me.” It marks the league’s third test issued for Garrett through Cleveland’s first seven games. Per the NFL and NFL Player Association’s 2020 Drug Testing Policy, a computer program randomly selects 10 players from each club’s active roster, practice squad list, and reserve list during the regular season. He was first notified of a test following the Browns’ 14-7 win over the host Vikings in Week 4....

Dominion Voting Systems filed a $1.3 billion lawsuit against Lindell over his repeated public claims that their voting machines fraudulently flipped votes from former President Donald Trump to current President Joe Biden during the November 2020 presidential elections. Speaking Monday morning on Steve Bannon’s War Room: Pandemic podcast, Lindell announced that Dershowitz had joined his legal team. “Alan Dershowitz told me that this will be one of the biggest cases, if not the biggest case in history for free speech, for the First Amendment,” Lindell said....

Lindell signed the quilt along with Lin Wood, a conspiracy theorist and lawyer who is supportive of Republican former President Donald Trump. The quilt was also signed by Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser pardoned by Trump for lying to the FBI.

Since then, a team at the international Gemini Observatory have managed to capture a fascinating full color image of the object....

Other lines on your hand can intersect and form “X”s. These aren’t called mystic crosses because they’re not independent. You’d interpret them when reading the lines on your palm. When you’re reading palms, you interpret the different lines and symbols together. Do a full reading on your hand to get more insight into yourself. You might just know things sometimes. Or, maybe you’re a pro at reading people or predicting what they’ll do....

The group Cause of America bills itself as “an independent, non-partisan, non-profit organization focused on election integrity,” although the group’s website features discredited claims about the 2020 election and links to articles only from right-wing news outlets like One America News Network and personalities like Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Shawn Smith, a retired Air Force colonel and president of the group, explained earlier this week that Lindell was funding the grassroots organization, during an appearance on the War Room: Pandemic podcast, hosted by former President Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon....

The Cavaliers star didn’t just tweak his pregame routine, but he switched bodies entirely with Mike Miller. It’s impressive, really, but I’m not sure what kind of effect it will have on stopping Stephen Curry and the Warriors.

Now, if only Matthew Dellavedova could switch bodies with Stephen Curry…

Napoli tweeted that "The beard is coming back to Boston!!! Couldn't be happier!!" Napoli hit .259 with 23 home runs and 92 RBIs this year in his first season with the Red Sox. 

On the Jordan brand: It seemed a natural thing to do because of the success of Air Jordans. I wanted to invest in something that will keep me in touch with the game and the fans whenever I leave. But I didn’t want to do the ordinary, like coach or report from the sidelines. I want to leave my mark without actually having to be anywhere near the court....
