China delayed the annual meeting of its legislature Monday as a result of the outbreak, the first time it has done so “in recent memory,” according to The New York Times. The move marks a “significant blow” to the leadership as the country grapples with controlling the public health crisis from the virus, the newspaper reported.

Though most Italian-Americans are liberals, “they’re all proud of me,” conservative Justice Antonin Scalia tells the authors. Scalia’s implicit question is: why do blacks not feel the same way about Thomas? Why can’t Americans accept and celebrate him? For a country desperately trying to rid itself of a legacy of prejudice and discrimination, such questions are anything but trivial. That Thomas is even on the court says much about how America has changed....

Atletico’s win moved them to within six points of leaders Barcelona, who host Levante on Sunday, and kept them two points clear of third-placed Valencia, who are on 37 points after coming back from an early deficit to beat Girona 2-1 thanks to a first-half Janos Ramalho own goal and Daniel Parejo’s penalty three minutes after the break. Costa, playing his first La Liga game since rejoining Atletico from Chelsea following the end last week of the Spanish club’s transfer ban, had already been booked for a foul in the 62nd minute with the hosts 1-0 up through Angel Correa when six minutes later he met a low cross to double his side’s lead and spark wild celebrations....

Scientists hope that a fentanyl vaccine would stop the drug from entering the brain, blocking its “high” and interfering with its ability to produce deleterious symptoms, overdoses, and death. So far, the vaccine has yielded promising results in rodent studies, but it has yet to be tested in human clinical trials. “Our vaccine produces antibodies and allows the body to eliminate the drug. If there isn’t a vaccine on board, fentanyl is allowed to get across the blood-brain barrier and stimulate brain circuitry involved in the euphoria of fentanyl, which is very reinforcing,” Colin Haile, MD, PhD, lead researcher on UH’s fentanyl vaccine, told Verywell....

A new Siena College/New York Times poll released on Monday found that the share of voters who said economic concerns were the most important issue facing the country has leaped eight percent since July—the highest increase among any voting issue. And those inflation and recession fears spelled good news for Republicans, who were overwhelmingly favored by voters worried about the economy. However, polling conducted by Civic Influencers, a nonprofit focused on youth voter registration, found that the economy ranked as the fifth most important issue for youth voters, with 31 percent saying it was in the top five and only 10 percent ranking it as their number one concern....

“Over the course of American history, we have seen inflection points where policymakers had the courage to think big and act big to address long-standing flaws in the prevailing economic landscape,” Yellen said in remarks before the National Association for Business Economists. “We face a similarly significant moment today where Congress can think big and act big to decisively send us down a better path.” The $3.5 trillion initiative, along with a $1 trillion bipartisan bill, would bring improvements to roads, passenger and freight rail systems, and bridges that Yellen said have been “in disrepair and unsafe for decades....

Four Democrats on the House Energy and Commerce Committee detailed their request Thursday that the NIH turn over communications between the agency and the NFL. “We’re just trying to get to the bottom of it, because we do think that this research is very important,” said Rep.

Understanding Connected Cars A connected car is simply any car that is linked to the internet with the intention of making life easier—linking people and services. The level of this connectivity is increasing daily, and now that cars are connected, manufacturers must decide what we want them to do. The fully connected car will consist of four main components: telematics (the integration of info technology and telecommunication), safety, consumer services and commerce—allowing drivers to interact with their route, their money and the people around them....

Fuel prices around the nation have increased for over a year, but prices spiked after President Joe Biden announced an import ban on oil from Russia on Tuesday in response to the ongoing invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24. On Wednesday, Connecticut recorded a record of $4.41 a gallon, surpassing the state’s previous record of $4.39 which was set in July 2008.

They squared off during Friday’s weigh-in/posedown in front of a screaming throng. Mendes in particular looked ready to throw hands.

A fan pointed out on Twitter that McGregor has headlined seven out of the 10 highest-selling PPVs in UFC history. The Irishman responded by saying that he, in fact, has eight (including Conor McGregor-Donald Cerrone) and is planning to take the two remaining spots to make it a clean sweep. In the process of interacting with the fan, McGregor revealed he has two fights remaining on his UFC contract. When another Twitter user contested McGregor’s claims, the Irishman insisted that his numbers were correct....

Now, HBO is rebooting the franchise for its streaming service HBO Max, with a new series that may finally capture the dark majesty of the DC Comics star. Here’s all we know so far about Constantine. When is the release date of the new Constantine TV show? The announcement of HBO’s new adaptation only came in April 2021, so it looks like it will be at least the first half of 2022 before we get to see the character return to our screens....

The Blues have struggled to keep place with the Premier League’s top four in recent weeks, but they started to make up ground on Spurs as they beat Burnley on Thursday – 48 hours after Mauricio Pochettino’s men were held by Brighton and Hove Albion. And while Conte acknowledges it will be difficult to catch their London rivals, he insists there remains “the possibility”. “There is a gap between us and Tottenham – we are talking about five points and there are four games to go,” he said ahead of facing Southampton, who they beat 3-2 in the Premier League last weekend, in the FA Cup semi-finals....

Luis Suarez scored twice as Barcelona came from behind to beat Conte’s side in their Champions League Group F encounter on Wednesday. Inter were much the better side in the first half and led thanks to an early goal from Lautaro Martinez, but Conte was unhappy with some of the decisions Slovenian Skomina gave against his side. The 50-year-old had a number of exchanges with Skomina during the game as he vented his frustration on the touchline....

Conte says Man Utd are still in title race The Blues coach is famously energetic in training and during matches, but he and some members of his coaching staff like to stay in shape by going for runs around the training ground at Chelsea’s state of the art facility. And such an exercise kept the Italian from the media for almost 20 minutes on Friday as they waited to quiz him in the build up to Sunday’s visit to Turf Moor....
