Each fan can make their own decision. Organizers expect more than 40,000 to fill Nissan Stadium on Saturday, clearly expecting a game of some significance. And Mexico manager Juan Carlos Osorio is with them, and not only because losing one of these October matches, Saturday against New Zealand and next week against Panama, would throw his already-shaky job security into total turmoil. “I think these two matches are going to be very important for everybody, he said at a news conference Friday....

There were surely plenty of potential employers who took notice of Osorio at the World Cup, and with the amount of global praise that was heaped on him for his tactical work in Russia — which included defeating Germany — there is no denying that his profile has grown exponentially in a short amount of time. Is the U.S. one of those teams who took notice? Newly appointed USMNT general manager Earnie Stewart hasn’t officially started his job yet, but it’s a safe bet he watched the World Cup and saw what Osorio was able to do with the Mexican team, in a job that has chewed up and spit out a long list of past coaches....

The malleus, incus, and stapes—commonly referred to by their shapes as the hammer, anvil, and stirrup, respectively—form an interconnected chain from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window, which separates the middle ear from the inner ear.

The ossicles carry that vibration to the cochlea, a fluid-filled inner-ear structure that converts the message to electrical signals that are processed by the brain....

The researchers discovered the most complete specimen to date of an animal known as Elpistostege watsoni — which is thought to be a midway point between fish and land vertebrates — according to a study published in the journal Nature. “Elpistsostege is a kind of ancient lobe-finned fish that lived 380 million years ago, which our paper reveals is closer to the first amphibians — part of a group of four-limbed vertebrates known as tetrapods— than any other known fish, alive or extinct,” John Long, an author of the study from Flinders University in Australia, told Newsweek....

That movie, of course, had a spectacular twist ending, and grossed nearly $700 million worldwide. More than that, though, “The Sixth Sense” proved that even in summertime moviegoers did not need to be pummeled or condescended to....
