This comes about a week after FedEx formally asked team owner Dan Snyder to change the name. FedEx is a primary sponsor of the team, and holds the naming rights to FedEx Field, where Washington plays. That same day, Nike removed all apparel from its website that included the word “Redskins.” Apparel from every other NFL team remained. “Dan Snyder and Coach Rivera are working closely to develop a new name and design approach that will enhance the standing of our proud, tradition rich franchise and inspire our sponsors, fans and community for the next 100 years,” the team said in a statement....

After being planted in soil, garlic blossoms into a white bulb. The inside of the bulb contains sulfur compounds, which is how the herb gets its distinct smell. In its early history, Egyptians used to bow down and idolize garlic as a god, according to National Today. And now, food lovers use garlic to punch up flavors in bland dishes. This writer also believes you need garlic for another particular purpose....

The yearly social media event—conducted by park rangers at Katmai National Park and Preserve, located on 4 million acres in Southwestern Alaska—marks the end of summer season and the high point of the bears’ pre-hibernation weight before they sleep throughout the winter months. And the 5-year-old event has never been more popular. Members of the park’s Facebook page gather to guess upon the weights of two bracketed bears per day, picking their favorite among the ursine competitors, until October 8....

You don’t have to understand why it’s spelled the way it’s spelled or pretend to understand why it’s pronounced the way it’s pronounced, but Coach K is Duke’s legendary head coach. You have to get it right if you cover the sport. Every time. No excuses. It’s K-R-Z-Y-Z-E-W-S-K-I. Two Zs with a Y sandwiched between, after an R. And all that following a K. Yeah, I don’t get it, either, but I can spell it in my sleep....

There’s a possibility the show had too much to love up, considering it both stars Carell and was co-created by him and Greg Daniels, the sitcom whiz involved with several iconic shows, including NBC’s beloved version of The Office. Much to the dismay of Dunder-Mifflin die-hards, Space Force’s humor is different from The Office, and Michael Scott is nowhere to be found. Carell plays a similarly tone-deaf character who leads America’s new military branch, Space Force....

This year’s National Team is featured in NBA 2K17 while the Dream Team is included as part of the pre-order bonus. It still remains unclear whether the teams will be utilized in any way other than “Play Now” games, but, given that no additional news has been provided and with the release date nearing, unfortunately it’s starting to look like that’ll be all there is for them. MORE: Seattle, you’re in luck!...

A sparking outlet in a bedroom caused an electrical fire that broke out in Salisbury, Maryland on Tuesday in a two-story apartment building, causing damage to at least two of the eight units. Fortunately, there were no casualties or major injuries, though it could have taken a turn for the worst if it had not been for 11-year-old La’Prentis Doughty. Doughty managed to get himself out of the burning building before realizing that his two-year-old sister, Loyalty, was still inside, according to WBOC....

After disclosing on Tuesday he has a 10-year-old son, Walker confirmed to The Daily Beast on Wednesday night that he has another son, aged 13, as well as a now-adult daughter, whom the public did not know about. The GOP candidate said he fathered his daughter when he was about 20 years old and a star running back on the University of Georgia’s football team. Until this week, Walker, who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump, had said he had a 22-year-old son but did not publicly mention the other children....

Catering to kids is critical for family restaurants to succeed. But that doesn’t mean every meal has to be a fry-fest. More and more parents, worried about the alarming rise in childhood obesity, are seeking alternatives to kids’ traditional greasy grub. And chefs in luxury hotel and family-resort restaurants are increasingly willing to comply, tailoring children’s menus to include attractive, nutritious dishes that appeal both to fickle parents and to finicky kids....

The 29-year-old opted to go to the second tier of the Scottish League in the second half of the 2016-17 campaign and team up with Neil Lennon’s men on loan after failing to secure regular playing time in Brendan Rodgers’ squad in the Premiership. Ambrose who signed a two-year deal with the Easter Road Stadium outfit this summer, revealed that he considered his family and the Hibs gaffer who was his boss at Celticn before making the big decision last season....

HS causes sudden eruptions of abscesses (boils) and nodules on the skin near hair follicles. These are intensely sore and result in abnormal pigmentation and scars. The abscesses most commonly occur around skin folds in the armpits, groin, abdomen, and breast areas. This can make movement and basic activities very difficult. While there is no cure for HS, there are treatments to slow progression and help minimize flare-ups (times when symptoms worsen)....

While atrial fibrillation is not life-threatening, it can lead to serious cardiovascular conditions, like stroke or heart failure. Certain dietary patterns, including those that emphasize omega-3 fatty acids, are often linked to better cardiovascular health and are even recommended for patients to reduce their risk of heart disease—guidance that the new research brings into question. What the Study Found A new meta-analysis published in the journal Circulation found that omega-3 supplements were slightly associated with a higher risk of AFib....

The average U.S. retail gasoline prices have risen by about 30 percent since the start of the year, according to data collected by analysts at RBC Capital Markets. The national average price per gallon for unleaded gas is currently $4.18 at the time of publication. These prices are affecting how Americans spend time on the road, including how they ride their motorcycles. Motorcycle sales site Cycle Trader recently surveyed 2,209 shoppers on the effect of the high prices....

A. Eating disorders such as bulimia are common among female high school athletes, of whom an estimated 30- to 60-percent struggle with food. Bulimia is generally not a food issue but rather a self-esteem issue. Athletes with eating disorders tend to believe they are not good enough. Hence, if your daughter is bulimic, your best bet is to remember food is the symptom, not the problem. Try to focus on unhappiness as the problem and out-of-control eating as the symptom....

That’s it. There wasn’t much support or suggestions on how we could transition a semester’s worth of content that’s done in a classroom to an entirely “remote” experience. It illustrated the lack of innovation and investment in the college classroom that’s been plaguing universities for years. Colleges have historically not invested in IT. One study indicated that less than 5 percent of an annual college budget goes to technology....

The country has also recorded 71 deaths, the highest figure since July 1. The number of new confirmed cases is a sharp increase on Monday’s figures, when 4,044 positive tests were reported. It is the first time the seven-day rolling average has exceeded 6,000 cases a day. The latest figures come after Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed the country was going through a second wave of the COVID-19 virus that has so far claimed the lives of over 42,000 people in the U....

Chantelle Doyle, 35, was surfing on Saturday morning when she was attacked by the 10-foot great white. Doyle’s husband, who was named by local media as Mark Rapley, jumped off his surfboard onto the shark, which he punched repeatedly until it released its grip and he was able to take her to shore. “This fella paddled over and jumped off his board onto the shark and hit it to get it to release her and then assisted her back into the beach,” said Surf Life Saving NSW chief executive Steven Pearce, adding, “Pretty full on, really heroic,” he added, the Sydney Morning Herald reported....

Shalit has made a career of cataloging the degradations of our culture while championing crusades of virtue. Her first book, “A Return to Modesty,” argued that chastity was hot—and informed readers she intended to remain a virgin until her wedding night. Shalit says she was inundated with letters and e-mail from girls dismayed by cultural pressure to be “bad.” She began a Web site, ModestyZone.net—there are at least a dozen similar ones today—and started collecting information from 3,000 e-mail exchanges between 1999 and 2006....
