Other great sources of protein include hummus, nut butter, deli meat, avocados, and Greek yogurt. You might notice that the effects of caffeine are worse if you consume it on an empty stomach so any snack is better than none. For a simple deep breathing technique, sit comfortably and close your eyes. Breathe in through your nose to the count of 4, then hold it for 4 counts. Breathe out to the count of 4 and hold it for 4 beats before inhaling again....

Jean Yancy fell ill with COVID-19 in her assisted living center, her daughters told FOX 5 Atlanta. She had been staying at the center for five years when she contracted the virus early last month. Yancy was transferred to Emory University Hospital on March 11, where she was treated for COVID-19. The hospital’s nurses helped her through the worst days of isolation. After weeks of isolation with the illness, she was allowed home on April 13, where she able to see her daughters for the first time in a while, FOX 5 Atlanta reports....
Organizations and lawmakers throughout California as well as nationally are condemning recent rhetoric by President Donald Trump describing the novel coronavirus. They say his words, intentionally or not, encourage prejudice and violence against people of Chinese or Asian descent. On Thursday a group of civil rights organizations announced the creation of a reporting center to track anti-Asian violence and discrimination in California and across the country. Assemblymember David Chiu (D-San Francisco), chair of the California Asian and Pacific Islander Legislative Caucus, told Capital & Main that the creation of the site was motivated by more than 300 recent incidents collected from media outlets and other organizations....
Standing on the steps of his lawyer’s Alexandria, Va., office in the sweltering midday sun, Hatfill, 48, proclaimed himself a “loyal American” who “had nothing to do in any way, shape or form with the mailing of these anthrax letters.” “It is extremely wrong for anyone to contend or suggest that I have,” he said. Bitterly criticizing a group of fellow scientists who for months have urged the authorities and the media to take a closer look at him, Hatfill accused the authorities and some in the media of trying to make him the “fall guy” for the anthrax attacks....
That name should sound familiar to any Simpsons die-hards who remember the 1995 episode “Marge Be Not Proud.” In it, Bart’s hoping that Marge will buy him the ultra-violent game BoneStorm; Lee Carvallo’s Putting Challenge is another title featured in the episode, as a gentler alternative to BoneStorm. Putting Challenge is actually based on an already-existing game, 1988’s Lee Trevino’s Fighting Golf for the Nintendo Entertainment System. But now fans can experience The Simpsons’ version of Putting Challenge—and all the thrills of putting and whacking your golf ball into a parking lot that come with it—thanks to this fully functional game made by Simpsons fan Aaron Demeter....
The swarms, collectively “Brood X,” are periodical cicadas that have spent almost two decades preparing for the flight, which will see them mate and lay eggs before dying—enjoying a short burst of life before the hibernation process starts anew. They will emerge in Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York , Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Washington, D.C., researchers have said....
On the surface, this election resembles the one on Nov.5, except that incumbent Ron Carey and challenger James Hoffa Jr. are bludgeoning each other like a couple of . . . Teamsters. In this campaign, “debate” consists of Carey’s calling Hoffa “a front man for the mob,” then Hoffa’s replying, no, it’s Carey who is mobbed up. “Polling” means phoning the other candidate’s supporters and shouting obscenities. “Mailings” include crude forgeries....
Surviving snow-boot makers, on the other hand, wish it would go on forever. After a string of mild winters, this year’s nasty weather has revived a sector that saw sales plummet 50 percent over the past three years. But with the bankruptcy, Kaufman missed the party. Retailers from Aspen to Ann Arbor are complaining about their depleted stocks and choleric clientele. How could a company with such a devoted following go belly up?...
The study, published in the journal Science last week, is just the latest chapter in a detective story that started six years ago, when an Australian Red Cross worker identified a pair of transfusion recipients who’d been infected by the same blood donor years earlier but hadn’t suffered any symptoms. In a 1992 report, researchers described seven such patients and concluded they shared a “nonpathogenic strain” of HIV. Now a....
As editor of U.S. news & World Report from 1976 to 1985, Marvin Stone, who died last week at 76, made the once stodgy, predictably conservative news magazine more nimble, colorful and evenhanded.
Actually, this argument would not be raging if the limit were five terms. Byrd, you see, is in his sixth. That fact, and his theory of representation-as-rapaciousness, is why he is the much-feared and extremely expensive chairman of the mighty Appropriations Committee. Byrd, 73, has not been in Washington as long as some other legislators. Not as long as Jamie Whitten, the Mississippi Democrat who chairs the House Appropriations Committee....
The agency has released its annual top 10 “Catches of 2021!” list, which reveals the 10 strangest things found and confiscated by airport security workers. In a video posted to the TSA’s Twitter account, the agency counts down to the No. 1 strangest item, accompanied by humorous quips, in an effort to remind passengers of the things they can and cannot bring with them when traveling through U.S. security checkpoints....
WOODWARD: I understand the central government in Hanoi was puzzled when the pope named you the new cardinal of Vietnam. PHAM: My three predecessors were all from Hanoi, and at first the government thought the pope had given me new authority here. I told them only the color of my robes had changed, that I have no new responsibilities as archbishop of Ho Chi Minh City. I did not mention that as a cardinal, I have new responsibilities to Rome....
The most substantial advance in the move to exert conservative influence in the courts started in 1982, with the creation of the Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies. The Federalist Society, as it is more commonly known and referred to, started as a student organization in some of the nation’s most elite law schools. The eventual Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia helped organize one of the original chapters in his role as a law professor at the University of Chicago....
Unfortunately for the madams, the FBI learned about the Circuit, too. Working off a tip from one of Maier’s clients, the Feds gradually pieced together the workings of the network. In two waves of indictments–in New Orleans in April and in Miami three weeks ago–prosecutors moved against Maier and two dozen co-defendants in 13 cities, including New York and Chicago. Maier and her mother, who was also indicted, pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges in May and will be sentenced in December....
Nearly five years ago, Carr, then 31, went to the doctor complaining of shortness of breath, pain and muscle cramps. She thought she was just overtaxed from a strenuous yoga class. Then came what she calls her “needle off the record moment.” Her doctors told her she had epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, an extremely rare form of cancer that affects the lining of the blood vessels of the liver and lungs. There is no cure....
The shop is a monument to the imagination. With the help of its elaborate props, children–and adults–can transform themselves into anything from a cow to Satan. I spot, among other things, a wall of wings for would-be butterflies and fairies and an assortment of hats and wigs that could convert any child into a master of disguise. My kids, 9 and 13, don’t even consider the wings or the wigs....
West has been saving tough cases for police and prosecutors for more than 15 years–a much-sought-after clutch witness who, by testifying in 71 trials in nine states, has helped send dozens of defendants away. But his performance as an expert witness has long been controversial. Defense lawyers call him a “snake-oil salesman” peddling “junk science” to credulous judges and juries. West has been criticized repeatedly for overstating the value of his findings and for testifying on scientific subjects in which he has little expertise–including bloodstains and wound analysis....
