Jason Dolan, 45, of Wellington, Florida, served with the United States Marine Corps prior to taking a job as a security guard at the Four Seasons resort in Palm Beach. As a member of the Oath Keepers, he said he worked to “defend the Constitution” by serving the group in its targeted recruitment of current and former police and military members. Dolan is the third Oath Keeper to plead guilty to conspiracy charges for his involvement in the riot....

In an op-ed published Tuesday in The Wall Street Journal, Vincent wrote, “Major League Baseball can’t become a weapon in the culture wars, a hostage for one political party or ideology.” He continued, “It can’t be only for the rich or the poor, nor can it only be for one race, as it was until 1947. Baseball must always stand above politics and its dark elements of corruption, greed and sordid selfishness....

The Patriots (2-4) lost 33-6 to the 49ers (4-3) and Newton didn’t play in the fourth quarter as Jarrett Stidham closed out the game. Newton will start for New England in Week 8 at Buffalo, but Garcia said Newton shouldn’t show up in a flashy outfit while he’s struggling. “There’s nothing good going your way,” Garcia, who played for the 49ers for part of his NFL career, said on NBC Sports Bay Area’s 49ers postgame show....

One day after Oregon and Florida State square off in the Rose Bowl, NFL Network will air its first-ever college-centric episode of “A Football Life,” focused on the 2006 Rose Bowl. It’s at the front of the line for the greatest college sporting events ever, but NFL Network still unearths a lot of great nuggets with interviews from those in and around the game, including Matt Leinart, Vince Young, Snoop Dogg, Matthew McConaughey and more....

So instead of worshiping at the shrine of the Dow, let’s look at something that matters. Among other things, the market’s performance this year shows just how unpredictable stocks really are, how much the highs rely on corporate bloodlettings (like last week’s ATL&T job massacre) and how those highs hide big dives taken by some once hot products. Stocks and bonds have confounded most of last year’s prophets by having an amazingly good 1995....

After a third volley of rockets in less than a week were fired from across Israel’s volatile northern border with Lebanon on Wednesday, a spokesperson for the Palestinian Hamas movement embraced the attack, along with a recent strike from Syria nearly a week ago, as part of a mutual struggle against Israel and its territorial claims. “We welcome any resistance against the Israeli occupation wherever and whenever it is carried out,” a Hamas spokesperson told Newsweek....

Obama’s success owes a lot, of course, to his message–the promise to pass Democratic policies by rallying a “coalition for change.” But watching Obamamania over the past few weeks, I’ve become convinced that there’s something more subtle at work, too. It’s not just the message and the man and the speeches that are swaying Democratic voters–though they are. It’s the way the campaign has folded the man and the message and the speeches into a systemic branding effort....

To address these concerns, Verywell spoke with infectious disease experts from all over the country. Concern #1: The vaccine was developed so fast. It must have been rushed and therefore isn’t safe....

Dr. John Heywood, professor emeritus of mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has been doing research on the internal combustion engine since the 1960s....

“The only thing I want to say to end the story is that yes, I made mistakes in the past on the touchline,” the Portuguese said. “Yes, I will make less, but I think I will still make a few.” However, Mourinho then added: “But what never happened to me and will never happen is to be suspended for match-fixing.” That last line sparked a furious response from Conte, who labelled Mourinho “a little man” for bringing match-fixing into the argument....

That might be why Cooper, 25, publicly reminded the world Thursday he wants “to be a Dallas Cowboy for life,” a sentiment he told 105.3 FM The Fan in Dallas he thinks about almost every day. “Everything — the facility, I love it here in Frisco (Texas),” Cooper explained. “Just the aura of being a Dallas Cowboy, I mean, you can’t beat it.” Even with the Cowboys facing multiple tough decisions beyond what to do with Cooper, there’s a good chance the receiver will get his wish....

If the laparotomy is emergent—for example, for internal bleeding from a car accident or for a perforated bowel—preparatory strategies are focused on the medical team administering life-saving therapies (e.g., blood products or fluids). If the laparotomy is scheduled—for example, to diagnose suspected ovarian cancer or to evaluate chronic abdominal pain—then careful preparation, including stopping smoking and certain medications prior to surgery, is important for optimizing the patient’s healing and recovery process....

Dolberg was one of the stars of the Ajax side that reached the final of the Europa League only to be beaten by Manchester United, and the manner in which the 19-year-old burst onto the scene is something that Duelund hopes to replicate as he prepares for the European Under-21 Championship with the national side. Man City closing in on Dani Alves “I know Kasper very well having played with him from the U16 to U19 for Denmark, and I am so happy for him for his success with Ajax....
