The new poll was taken on August 27-28 after the suicide bombing outside the Hamid Karzai Airport that claimed the lives of 13 U.S. service members and over 160 Afghans. The survey also found that 84 percent of Americans believe that U.S. troops should stay in Afghanistan until all Americans are evacuated regardless of the mission’s deadline this Tuesday. Additionally, 71 percent of respondents think that U.S. troops should stay until all Afghan allies who assisted the U....

Adrian Wojnarowski, who recently left Yahoo! Sports to join ESPN, found that out the hard way when he walked into a live broadcast at his new place of employment. MORE: Has Adrian Wojnarowski lost his title as king of NBA Twitter? The NBA reporter is only a few days into his time at the network, so we should probably just give him a break.

Last weekend, news broke that the Queen of England had contracted COVID-19. The 95-year-old monarch is said to be experiencing mild cold-like symptoms. According to a statement from Buckingham Palace, “Her Majesty is continuing with light duties.” While this was meant to reassure the public that she wasn’t seriously ill and would be OK, I couldn’t help but find the messaging quite sinister. Without being massively patronizing, Queen Elizabeth is an elderly woman; she’s in the age group most at risk of complications or even death from COVID-19....

That’s from “Confessions of a Winning Poker Player” via “Rounders,” but the same logic applies to fantasy football, particularly at Sporting News’ Fantasy Source. The members of our staff seldom talk about our great fantasy football conquests. But all of us know when we took it on the chin. A few examples: • That time Houston’s Steve Slaton had two fourth-quarter touchdowns against Jacksonville on Monday night in 2008, the second a 40-yard run with 2:04 remaining and the Texans already holding a 23-10 lead....

This is known as an optical illusion—something that fools the eyes into seeing something different to what has been captured. And a recent photograph of an “invisible” woman on a mountain is just that. In the snap, shared to Reddit by user Mystical_Cat, we can see a snowy ski slope flanked by tall trees. The Redditor has captioned the image, writing: “My friend learning to snowboard.” But where is the person?...

Atopic dermatitis is the most common form of eczema and affects approximately 30% of the U.S. population. Opzelura is in a class of medications known as Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors. JAK enzymes cause and promote types of inflammation in the body. Opzelura works by interfering with these enzymes, preventing inflammation that would otherwise lead to redness and itching of the skin. This same inflammation can cause vitiligo in some people....

At least four people were killed in the shooting at an office building in the city. It has been reported that a child was among the four. Another victim was severely injured and taken to a local hospital. Authorities said the suspected assailant was shot and captured by police, and then taken to hospital. No other information on the suspect has been released. Rep. Katie Porter, a Democrat who represents California’s 45th congressional district, including parts of Orange, said in a statement: “I’m deeply saddened by reports of a mass shooting in Orange County, and I’m continuing to keep victims and their loved ones in my thoughts as we continue to learn more....

JOSH HUFF … … OR BILL COSBY Bill Cosby performed in Eugene, Oregon over the weekend. We can only hope this is the start of Cosby being the model for all new Ducks uni releases going forward.

Devon Allen, the NCAA 110-meter hurdles champion and the Ducks’ leading receiver with seven touchdowns, injured his right knee on the opening kickoff of Thursday’s 59-20 Rose Bowl win over No. 3 Florida State and is expected to miss the team’s Jan. 12 showdown against No. 4 Ohio State, according to FOX Sports.

“We were very aware,” Orioles reliever Darren O’Day told reporters after the game. “It’s all over TV, and there are a lot of TVs in this clubhouse, and some of the TVs are always tuned into news. We had a pretty good idea.

Really. So does improving your nutrition. A diet high in sugar and saturated fat diminishes neurogenesis, whereas other foods increase it, including chocolate (in moderate amounts), tea and blackberries, which contain a substance called epicatechin that improves memory. Small amounts of alcohol increase neurogenesis, whereas larger amounts decrease it. Chronic emotional stress decreases neurogenesis, but stress management techniques increase it. Drugs such as nicotine, opiates and cocaine decrease neurogenesis, whereas a study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation in 1995 showed that cannabinoids (found in marijuana) increase it, at least in rats....

It is a song women have sung for years, in pop music if not so often in life: a ballad of unlimited availability and bottomless devotion. The Ronettes sang it in 1963 on “Be My Baby”; the Shangri-Las riddled it with kitschy pathos on 1964’s “The Leader of the Pack.” Written or produced largely by men, delivered by ensembles known as girl groups, this song infused rock fantasy before the Beatles wanted to hold anyone’s hand....

I was impressed by your article “The New Digital Galaxy,” on the next technological revolution (Society & The Arts, May 31). However, I was terrified. Apparently this is the end of privacy. Considering how easy it is to access information on the Internet, I would not want a machine to know about my private life and my preferences. If producers know what products we use and prefer, it limits our everyday-life choices....

MORE: Nine of the worst All-Star Game performances The American League has won the last three All-Star Games and 21 of the last 28, with 41 wins all-time against the National League’s 43.
