“President Trump: We’re sorry that you decided to come to Maine, but since you are here, could you do us a favor? Resign,” the editorial board at the Portland Press Herald wrote in an op-ed published Friday morning. The newspaper pointed to Trump’s lack of leadership amid the coronavirus pandemic, record unemployment, and nationwide protests for racial justice as reasons for him to abandon his post as commander in chief....

He replied: “Always appreciate your support. Thank you man. Let’s talk soon.” A simple yes would have been more functional, from my standpoint. The Holtmann style, though, is to remain subtle and composed.

Gallup released new polling on Wednesday, showing that just about a third (33 percent) of American adults expressed “a great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence for prominent U.S. institutions. The polling was conducted from June 1 to July 5 with a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percent. Notably, the survey found that just 12 percent of respondents expressed confidence in Congress, with voters of both major political parties expressing skepticism toward the nation’s legislative body....

United were on top for long periods at the bet365 Stadium and appeared to be on course to win when Romelu Lukaku put them 2-1 ahead just before the hour mark, adding to Marcus Rashford’s first. Man United 9/2 to beat Basel 2-0 But Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, who opened the scoring just before the break, added a second five minutes after Lukaku’s goal and that proved to be enough to secure a point....

I was walking my dog last week when I bumped into a neighbor who was also walking her dog. As the two animals played, we walked together, when suddenly my neighbor started sneezing and coughing. Naturally, I became anxious, put some distance between us, and wrapped my scarf around my nose and mouth. In between splutters she nonchalantly informed me, “Oh, it’s okay! I don’t have COVID; it’s just a cold....

Right before I entered my class at the University of California, Berkeley on Monday, I saw the news that California will lift COVID-19 mask mandates indoors for people who are fully vaccinated on Feb. 15, 2022. As someone who lives with vasculitis, this news disturbed me. Vasculitis is an autoimmune disease that involves inflammation of the blood vessels. Sometimes my condition causes my oxygen saturation level to drop to the 70% range (when it should be around 95% to 100%) due to inflammation around my lungs....

With the famed Claret Jug up for grabs, Hovland and McIlroy are knotted at the top of the leaderboard. The pair dazzled in Round 3, posting matching 6-under 66s to wrest the lead from the two Camerons, Australian Cameron Smith and American Cameron Young, who both faltered after strong starts to the tournament. McIlroy mentioned the need to play “boring golf,” making sure not to extend himself too much, especially not after making birdie or, in one case, eagle....

The relationship between war and economic prospects has never been straightforward. A case can be made that it was World War II, with its impact on manufacturing production, that pulled the United States out of the Great Depression. The requirements for supplying U.N. forces during the Korean War gave Japan the boost it needed to recover from total devastation in 1945. On the other hand, the Vietnam War had a number of negative effects, having ushered in a decade of both high inflation and economic stagnation in most of the Western world....

If you believe the conventional wisdom–which seems reflected in the stock market’s recent rise–the recession is almost over. The Blue Chip Economic Indicators, a newsletter, surveys 53 forecasters and finds that about 70 percent think the recession will end no later than April. The latest average forecast predicts 0.4 percent growth in the gross domestic product (the economy’s output) in the present quarter. By the fourth quarter, GDP should expand at a respectable 3....

For Opus Dei–Latin for the Work of God–the ceremony represents the Vatican’s highest seal of approval for an international organization that critics regard as a secretive, almost Masonic sect within the Catholic Church. Under John Paul II, Opus Dei has replaced the Jesuits in papal favor. Its members hold offices throughout the Vatican bureaucracy, including the pope’s press spokesman, and its wealth and influence have silenced most opponents in the Roman Curia....

It’s not the community. Corvallis was rated the 6th-best college town by Livability.com in its 2012 survey. It’s not even the athletic department, not entirely. The football program produced top-25 finishes in half of the past eight seasons and the baseball team won the College World Series back-to-back in 2006 and 2007. Through at all, though, Oregon State has stunk at basketball. That’s actually the kind way of putting it....

Portland took the lead in the 15th minute. Jack Jewsbury bombed down the right wing to latch onto a pass and whipped a cross in. Ryan Johnson exploded from seemingly nowhere to put a perfect header past Marcus Hahnemann at the near post. Portland's second came in the 67th minute. A nice passing move found Kalif Alhassan on the right flank. He cut inside and picked out Darlington Nagbe's run across the box, and the Liberian took a lovely first touch to get away from Djimi Traore before finishing at the near post....

Examples of orthotics that your PT may prescribe include: Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO): This is a device that encloses the ankle and foot and does not extend above the knee. It is commonly used for foot drop, when weakness of the anterior tibialis muscle prevents you from lifting your foot and toes up off the floor. Cervical brace: This rigid plastic device encircles the neck and supports the chin and the back of the head....

Watching closely: the world’s Paralympic movement, for which Pistorius was a standard bearer. Pistorius is relevant to sports only as a runner who uses prosthetic lower legs. Next up: sentencing phase, which begins Oct. 13. Pistorius, 27, could face 15 years in prison. It’s also possible Pistorius could go free, according to one British news outlet. How? It’s his first offense, albeit of major gravity, and South Africa’s court system leaves a felon’s sentence to the judge’s discretion....

Reeva Steenkamp was shot with bullets designed to expand on impact and cause maximum damage, Prof. Gert Saayman testified after he identified the type of bullet from fragments in Steenkamp's skull. Saayman's testimony was not broadcast or reported live on Twitter by journalists because of its explicit content under an order from Judge Thokozile Masipa. However, journalists were allowed to report the testimony without directly quoting the witness's words. The double-amputee runner, hunched over on a bench, vomited when he heard the description of Steenkamp's wounds, prompting Masipa to briefly halt the testimony to ask chief defense lawyer Barry Roux to attend to his client....
