In a coronavirus press briefing on Monday, Republican Governor Doug Burgum announced that the state has amended an order so that infected but asymptomatic health-care workers can continue working due to a major shortage of staffing in hospitals. Burgum said the extraordinary amendment came from interim State Health Officer Dirk Wilke, and at the request of hospital administrators. “This applies only to positive COVID-19 health-care workers who do not have symptoms, and they’re allowed only to work with patients in COVID-19 units who have the virus,” Burgum said during the briefing....

But the 5-10 Blazer out of UAB had a different kind of eye-opening measurable Thursday when he weighed in at only 156 pounds. MORE: Top prospects at each position | Mock Draft | Combine schedule He isn’t just the lightest of wideouts in 2015. Nelson is the lightest draft prospect at the Combine in 13 years, since a similar receiver/return man, Kansas State’s Aaron Lockett, tipped the scales at 155 in 2002....

He is 70 years old, he has been embedded in the public consciousness for more than 50 years — as he told the Nevada parole board commissioners himself Thursday, he’s been a big name since he was 19 — and it feels like everybody in America knows every possible thing about him. In fact, it feels like we know too much, and if one image stuck after an end date for his nine-year prison sentence was set, he is what he is, and what he always has been....

Answer by Dave Hogg, Covered the Pistons since 1990 I don’t think there’s ever been a basketball player who has ever been as focused on things other than scoring as Dennis Rodman.

Alexis is too good for Arsenal The 21-year-old, who made his La Liga debut last year, is due to undergo surgery next Tuesday. Athletic president Josu Urrutia and club medical chief Jotxean Lekue held a press conference on Friday, at the behest of the player, in which they confirmed the diagnosis and expressed their admiration for the player’s positive approach. “During the day [on Thursday] Yeray had medical tests which detected a tumour in one of his testicles,” Lekue said....

The Atlantic Division champion in each of the last two seasons missed the playoffs entirely the year prior to their title. That trend bodes well for the Lightning, undeniably one of the NHL’s most gifted teams fresh off finishing a single point shy of the postseason last spring in spite of months of misfortune. Tampa Bay, fully healthy, is a favorite to take the crown in 2017-18 for the that reason, but it won’t be without competition....

Diego Godin had seemingly salvaged Atletico a draw 20 minutes from the end, but Messi broke the hosts’ hearts with a late goal to make Diego Simeone’s men rue their missed opportunities and put Barca top of the table ahead of Real Madrid’s trip to Villarreal. Atletico boss: We’re trying to sign Messi! Things should have been far better for Atletico, though, as they looked as fluid as they have all season during the first half and carved out a series of strong chances, with Yannick Carrasco, Godin and Antoine Griezmann all going close....

The Blaugrana have a perfect record of nine wins out of nine in all competitions since losing the Supercopa de Espana but have not played either Madrid club since. They will make the trip to Atleti’s new digs for the first time looking to put nine points between themselves and Diego Simeone’s men. TV CHANNEL & LIVE STREAM In the UK, the match will be available to watch live on television on Sky Sports Football or by stream via Sky Go....

The Difference Between Atopy and Allergy Most of us are acquainted with the term “allergy.” We understand that it is an exaggerated body reaction to an external irritant. Allergies cover a broad range of reactions. Atopy, on the other hand, refers to a genetic predisposition to diseases in which IgE antibodies are produced in response to even limited exposure to environmental triggers that don’t typically bother other people. Thus, all atopic reactions are allergies, but not all allergies involve atopic responses....

The Bears defense was the unfortunate victims of several controversial penalties on Monday, which led to multiple scoring drives for Minnesota. The first occurred in the first quarter, when Deon Bush was called for a suspect unnecessary roughness penalty when defending tight end Tyler Conklin. The result of the play should have been an incomplete pass on third down, but officials’ interference allowed the drive to continue. MORE: Bears vs....

On Saturday, tens of thousands of Republican delegates in Virginia will cast ballots to determine the party’s nominees for state governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general as part of the so-called “unassembled convention.” In addition to Chase, GOP candidates to replace Democratic Governor Ralph Northam include businessman Pete Snyder, former House speaker Del. Kirk Cox, retired Army Col. Sergio de la Peña, and former executive Glenn Youngkin. In an interview on Real America’s Voice, Chase, an ardent supporter of former President Donald Trump, vowed that a full audit will take place if she loses the GOP gubernatorial nomination....

The procedure, which was performed over the summer, went unreported and was not made public. Including this surgery, Stoudemire has now gone under the knife three times in the past 12 months. One positive for Stoudemire, who spent most of the summer under restriction, is that the surgery was not considered major, according to the Daily News. Truth be told, any procedure is major for Stoudemire at this point, considering he only played 29 games last season and had surgery on his right knee in October and left knee in March....

The Foxes winning in such dominant fashion will no doubt have filled him with glee, but there is no less desirable state for a professional footballer than not being able to play. That 5-2 evisceration of the Citizens at the Etihad Stadium was the first of (at least) 12 Premier League matches the Nigeria international will be forced to miss on account of a groin injury. Beyond further burnishing Jamie Vardy’s healthy recent record against City and aggravating Pep Guardiola’s already frayed nerves, Sunday’s result was instructive in that it answered a long-standing question and, in doing so, demonstrated Leicester’s immense growth....

The centre-back has been at Atleti since he was seven and has gradually played an increased role for the capital side since debuting for the first team in 2015. Simeone believes the France Under-21 international is capable of becoming one of the game’s best. “He’s an amazing player with a huge future,” Simeone told L’Equipe. “He makes my decisions very difficult because I have Filipe Luis at left-back and Diego Godin in the middle – two extraordinary players....

Some of those features have been available on previous e-book devices, notably the Sony Reader. The Kindle’s real breakthrough springs from a feature that its predecessors never offered: wireless connectivity, via a system called Whispernet. (It’s based on the EVDO broadband service offered by cell-phone carriers, allowing it to work anywhere, not just Wi-Fi hotspots.) As a result, says Bezos, “This isn’t a device, it’s a service.” Will the Kindle and its kin really take on a technology that’s shone for centuries and is considered the bedrock of our civilization?...

In the company statement shared with CNN Business, a Facebook spokesperson announced, “Due to concerns related to coronavirus, our company and employees will not be participating in SXSW this year.” In an video interview conducted on March 3, 2020 with Austin’s KXAN.com, Mayor Steve Adler mentioned the online petition from Change.org to cancel this year’s SXSW festival. Though the petition has more than 42,000 signatures, any decision to cancel SXSW will be based on the information given to him by the City and Travis County health officials....

After the eight-episode drama aired on the British channel ITV, American audiences started watching the first season run on PBS’ Masterpiece. Though the last episode aired on PBS in January, notable fan groups, such as #sanditonsisterhood, have been keeping hope alive when it comes to finding a new home for their favorite show....

The website hosting giant argued in response to a lawsuit submitted in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington by Parler on Monday that the social media platform failed to remove content that “threatens the public safety, such as by inciting and planning the rape, torture, and assassination of named public officials.” AWS said Parler’s lawsuit was “no more than a meritless claim for breach of contract” and claimed it first contacted the site in mid-November 2020 and reported more than 100 examples of content “advocating violence” over the next seven weeks....

He swears that he hasn’t asked new boss Roger Penske nor team president Tim Cindric about the possibility. Ambrose is leaving NASCAR to drive in his home country of Australia for Penske, who is taking over 51 percent over the existing Dick Johnson Racing that already competes in V8 Supercars. “I’m fully engaged in making this work in Australia,” Ambrose said during a teleconference Monday night. “My focus is entirely on that....
