The new Allen v. Farrow miniseries, which premiered this past Sunday, focuses on Dylan Farrow’s accusations of sexual abuse against her adoptive father, Allen.

The Packers had six while holding the Jacksonville Jaguars to 48 rushing yards on 26 attempts for a measly 1.8 yards-per-carry average. The Vikings held Tennessee’s “exotic smashmouth” ground game in check by allowing just 64 yards on 22 carries. Unfortunately for the Packers and Vikings, who play each other Sunday night at Minnesota’s new U.S. Bank Stadium, they didn’t have much success on the ground themselves.

Increasingly, physicians worry that those habits will turn out to be sedentary ones. Babies need plenty of time on their bellies to strengthen muscles for rolling over and crawling. But with the AAP telling parents to put babies to sleep on their backs to prevent SIDS, and with multitasking caregivers keeping kids in strollers and car seats while they run errands or take phone calls, babies are too sedentary. “Our lives are busier, and everybody seems to feel pinched for time,” says pediatrician Stephen Rice, chairman of the health and science policy committee for the American College of Sports Medicine....

The collective letter follows a sweeping report published by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which spells out the already irreversible impacts of climate change and a potentially dire future if drastic action isn’t taken to slow greenhouse emissions. Health leaders called on U.S. legislators to adopt immediate measures to reduce negative health outcomes associated with worsening air pollution and other effects of climate change. “Investing in infrastructure is an opportunity to protect health from climate change – particularly for underserved communities – that Congress and the nation can’t afford to miss,” the authors wrote....

Despite being close to full strength, the Heat fell in their season opener to a Bulls team that was without one of their All-Stars and is projected to be in Play-In territory. Jimmy Butler put up his usual numbers, but both Bam Adebayo and Kyle Lowry struggled offensively, combining to shoot 6-for-22 from the field. That will likely prove to be a blip on the radar for Adebayo, a 25-year-old one-time All-Star who is still chipping away at his sky-high potential....
