The same body recently recommended anxiety screening for all adults 64 and under. Naturally, screening almost the entire U.S. population for anxiety could increase the number of anxiety diagnoses by tens of millions, as an estimated 10 percent of Americans have but are unaware of their anxiety. Though there’s nothing wrong with receiving a diagnosis, the reality is that 150 million Americans live in federally designated mental health professional shortage areas....

Throughout the pandemic, Chris Cuomo hosted his brother numerous times on his CNN program, Cuomo Prime Time, in order to discuss COVID-19 issues in New York. The state was initially the epicenter of the nation’s coronavirus outbreak. Now, Andrew Cuomo’s administration is under fire for underreporting the numbers of COVID-positive patients placed into statewide nursing homes and for underreporting the COVID-related deaths in those homes as well. Chris Cuomo’s primetime interviews were widely derided because they largely did not get into the substance of New York’s COVID response, but rather discussed personal matters....

The Rio 2016 Olympic bronze medalist netted his side’s second and third goal in the game to snatch the maximum points and ease their relegation fears at the Osmanlı Stadium. Musa Cagiran put the home team in front in the 27th minute from the spot but Soner Aydodu grabbed the visitors’ equaliser nine minutes later. Four minutes into the second half, Umar scored to recover the vital lead for the hosts but Aydodu levelled matters from the spot on the hour mark for Okan Buruk’s side....

Palestinians have been saying this for decades, and in recent years, even some leading Israeli human rights organizations have started using the word apartheid to describe their government’s systems of oppression. Last year, Human Rights Watch, one of the best-known American human rights organizations, similarly accused Israel of apartheid. Amnesty International following suit this week has solidified the human rights community’s emerging consensus on Israeli apartheid. The most important consequence of this consensus is that it lays to rest the false but popular notion of an “Israeli-Palestinian conflict” between two equal sides....

King–who has been met with sharp criticism for bringing up the sexual assault allegations brought against Bryant in an interview with his friend Leslie–has said that she is “mortified” about the backlash. In 2003, Bryant was accused of raping a 19-year-old woman in Colorado. The case was dismissed after the woman refused to testify in court, but the allegations nevertheless impacted Bryant’s reputation. Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash in California on January 26 along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and several other people....

The stand-up comic (and new mom) came in 7th on Forbes’ list, with the magazine reporting Schumer having earned $21 million 2018 from her Netflix comedy special Growing and her stand-up tour. In 2017, Schumer became the first (and only) female stand-up comic to ever make Forbes’ list. Both her comedy special and tour followed her path towards first-time motherhood and all the hilarious new realities happening in her life because of it....

Berlant spent a couple years co-editing “Our Monica, Ourselves: The Clinton Affair and the National Interest” (NYU Press) with Duggan, an associate professor of American studies and history at New York University and a longtime scholar and activist around issues of sexual politics. The book contains 18 essays that link the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal to patterns in American and global public life. Highlights include “Moniker,” which looks at the incident through a prism of Monica Lewinsky’s Jewishness; “The Face That Launched a Thousand Jokes,” a study of why Americans were so quick to make fun of Linda Tripp; and “Sex of a Kind,” in which the author revisits the discomfort broadcast journalists clearly felt when discussing the more tawdry details of the story....

The Iraq that Khalilzad leaves behind (to take up a post as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations) is a fundamentally different place than the one he parachuted into in the summer of 2005. Then, Khalilzad was hailed as a possible savior–the strong-arming diplomat that could put the U.S. back on track in Iraq. He had spent the previous 18 months wrangling with warlords in Afghanistan, where he was born, so it didn’t seem that far-fetched....

America’s new profile in central Africa has given rise to wild tales. One rumor on the street in Burundi last summer had a U.S. aircraft carrier patrolling landlocked Lake Tanganyika. Another claims that precious minerals lie beneath the Kivu region in eastern Zaire, where the Rwandan-backed rebels have just carved out a sphere of influence–and repatriated hundreds of thousands of refugees, pre-empting a big international relief effort. Recent visits by Rwandan President Paul Kagame to London, Washington and Israel have fed suspicions that he may have sought a green light to move on Zaire through rebel proxies....

SCARLET: After college I took a trip around Europe. I was hitchhiking from Munich to Paris and I got picked up by someone who started talking about the Cinematheque. So I went. The programming was completely surreal. You could have a Japanese monster movie followed by an MGM musical or a silent Russian film. I started coming day after day. It was hypnotic… You can place that in the context of what the French had done decades before with jazz....

The American Football Conference has now won eight of the last 10 Super Bowls and has not lost a season series with the NFC since 1995. The Bears were certainly game, but, despite a yeoman defense, no match for Indy. Chicago remains at least a quarterback short of the AFC elite. It really didn’t require all that much prescience to write— as I did after the Colts came back from 18 points down against the Patriots in the AFC championship game—that fans had already witnessed the real Super Bowl....

But he does have one distinction: He was the first player born on Christmas day to play in the major leagues (yes, the National Association counts). Since Jewett's brief career, 66 other men with Dec. 25 birthdays have played in the bigs, including three Hall of Famers and a number of All-Stars. As Sporting News' Christmas present to you, here is our ranking of the 10 best players born on Dec....

On Monday’s episode, Hostin, 53, said she felt like the Republican party is the “Trumplican party at this point.” The lawyer cited research that suggests 80 percent of Republicans identify former President Donald Trump “as the party,” adding that it’s a “party of white supremacy, it’s a party of fascism,” and “it’s a party of all the things that are counter to our democracy.” Hostin noted that she has “issues” with Navarro, 50, being a part of the organization when she’s a “Latina woman” who immigrated to the U....

Like genital herpes, anal herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Anal herpes is usually transmitted by anal sex but, in some cases, can also be transmitted through oral sex. Studies have shown that most people who get HSV will not develop symptoms (or have only mild symptoms) but can still pass the virus to others without knowing it. This article looks at the causes and symptoms of anal herpes and describes how this common STI is diagnosed, treated, and prevented....

Iraq THREAT: Saddam Hussein’s minions are known to be working on nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. Iraq is trying to rebuild its missile industry, and United Nations arms inspectors still have not been allowed back into the country. Although a few broken-down Palestinian groups are based in Baghdad, Iraq seems to have backed away from supporting terrorism. OPTIONS: Washington is pressing for the return of the U.N. inspectors. It is also beginning to examine the possibilities for unilateral military action....

The nasal bones along with the frontal processes of the maxilla make up one of three nasal vaults, known as the bony vault. Because this area of your nose is the thickest, it is used to support other structures of the nose like your nasal septum. Anatomy The nose is one part of your body that does not necessarily follow any standard sizes. While you may physically stop getting taller during your adolescent years, your nose does not stop growing throughout your lifespan....

The Egyptians commonly sacrificed and mummified these birds between 665 B.C. and 250 A.D. in honor of the god Toth—who was often depicted as a man with the head of an ibis. A small number of ibises lived in temples and were worshipped as real-life incarnations of Toth—the god of justice, wisdom, magic and the moon. The birds were subsequently mummified after their natural death. Ibises that were sacrificed before being mummified have been found stacked floor-to-ceiling along miles of catacombs at major historical sites in Egypt....

The effects of sea level rise and habitat loss are already being felt around the world, but another threat is beginning to stir beneath the surface. Permafrost is land that has remained completely frozen for two or more consecutive years. The world’s oldest permafrost, found in Siberia, has been frozen for over 650,000 years. Around 1,700 billion tons of carbon are thought to be sequestered in this frozen soil, which is released into the atmosphere as the permafrost thaws....

In a study published in PLOS One, researchers led by Ehud Galili, of the University of Haifa, Israel, say this represents the oldest known coastal defense system in the world and a feat of engineering with “extensive effort invested by the Neolithic villagers in its conception, organization and construction.” At the time the settlement existed, sea levels were rising as global temperatures warmed following the end of the last ice age....
