President Mahmoud Abbas delivered the warning in a long, prerecorded address to the U.N. General Assembly. His speech was unusually harsh, and accused Israel of “apartheid” and “ethnic cleansing.” Abbas has long been committed to a two-state solution and said he was willing to negotiate final borders over the coming year. However, if Israel did not end its occupation of territories seized in the 1967 war, he would no longer grant it recognition as a country....

Palliative care encompasses the whole self, caring for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of patients and their families. It provides relief from pain and other symptoms of illness such as fatigue, nausea, shortness of breath, and loss of appetite. The goal is to prevent and relieve these symptoms so you can get on with daily life. Palliative Care vs. Hospice Care The terms “palliative care” and “hospice care” cannot be used interchangeably....

Palliative care is often confused with hospice care, which is comfort care for patients who only have a few months or less to live. While palliative care may be given as someone nears death, it has a broader scope and may also be given at diagnosis, during treatment, and/or after treatment to help patients with chronic or life-threatening illness, such as cancer and HIV/AIDS. This article explores the elements of palliative care along with the types of treatments that may be involved....

Anderson was ejected from Sunday’s Panthers vs. Rams game by his new coach, Steve Wilks. The veteran receiver was sent packing in the fourth quarter after he got into multiple spats on the Panthers’ bench. IYER: Ranking the 5 best landing spots for Panthers’ Christian McCaffrey The most notable spat came in the first half when Anderson went after Panthers receivers coach, Joe Dailey, on the sideline. Anderson got into his coach’s face, and that prompted a shouting match between the two....

Sam Darnold might not be the best rushing quarterback in NFL history, but he now has a mark that stands alone. Darnold rushed for a pair of scores on Sunday against the Cowboys, which makes him the first quarterback to rush for five TDs in the first four games of the season, according to Elias Sports and ESPN Stats & Info. The performance is evoking memories of Cam Newton, whose 70 rushing touchdowns are the most by any primary QB in NFL history....

Those voices of the Panthers’ Spanish radio broadcast carry on a wind of change reaching far corners of the Carolinas — and the world. A perfect storm of circumstance bringing black and blue to a new fan base. Luis’ weighted words slide in like low rumbles of thunder between Jaime’s flashes of lightning — soccer-style celebrations that strain the mic and break the internet. SPECIAL REPORT: NFL and race: 50 years later | Defending against Cam Newton hypocrisy...

There’s a chance the standout defensive end, put on the exempt list as he awaits a jury trial in his domestic-violence related assault case, may already have played his last down for the team. Given his status as an unrestricted free agent-to-be playing on a current one-year franchise tender of $13.116 million guaranteed, he was set to price himself out of Carolina next March, anyway. After the Panthers deactivated Hardy for the Week 2 home game against the Detroit Lions, Carolina’s pass rush and defense as a whole didn’t miss a beat....

WATCH: Jesse Winchester elbows Chris Kelly (GIF) No penalty was assessed on the play in the first period of the Panthers' 4-1 road loss. The suspension will cost Winchester $9,231.

It’s not so much that the Panthers dropped a tight 2-1 shootout decision to the Lightning in Tampa in their regular season opener Saturday night, but the Panthers lost Luongo to a right knee injury midway through the second period. The Panthers did not practice on Sunday and did not provide an update on Luongo, but the team did place him on Injured Reserve. After practice on Monday, Panthers coach Bob Boughner told reporters that Luongo will miss 2-4 weeks because of the injury, but surgery is not required....

The Panthers released Smith and also waived running back Elijah Holyfield and cornerback Kevon Seymour to make room on the team. Smith notched 17 receptions for 190 yards and two touchdowns in his lone season with Carolina in 2018. The eight-year veteran started six games for the Panthers last year, but it appears the team’s receiving corps is deep enough to move on without him in 2019. Holyfield, son of boxing legend Evander Holyfield, is an undrafted rookie out of Georgia....

Last week, Jakob Ondrey, a software engineer and CPS parent, tweeted a detailed account of the district’s alleged “intentional” underreporting of COVID cases among students and school staff. While CPS addressed the change in reporting on Friday—and doubled down on the new method again after the weekend—Ondrey believes the district owes the school community an apology for making the change quietly, especially at a time when COVID safety has been heavily debated within the district....

Allegheny County police issued arrest warrants for 37-year-old Sara Gerwig and 35-year-old Thomas Wolfe Monday. Authorities said the two turned themselves in on Wednesday and were released later the same day. Newsweek previously reported that the 13-year-old boy was arrested on December 14 and charged with criminal homicide and being in possession of a firearm as a minor in the November 22 shooting at the family’s home in Penn Hills, Pennsylvania....

The Associated Press reported how those in the committee hearing in Boise did not react when they saw Bailey Nielsen stand in silence with an AR-15 slung over her shoulder while her grandfather, Charles Nielsen, argued why the law should allow those visiting the state to carry concealed handguns within the city limits. Charles Nielsen said she had been using weapons since she was five and so was an example of someone who knew how to handle firearms responsibly....

In a just country, the shooter would receive the death penalty. The punishment fits his crimes, would be a small salve to the victims’ families, and would serve as a deterrent to future would-be mass shooters. Though the shooter, who will remain unnamed here, had already pled guilty and been tried and convicted of 17 counts of murder, for the last three months, a jury has listened to harrowing testimony in the sentencing portion of the trial....

Nikolas Cruz shot and killed 17 people and injured 17 more at Marjory Douglas Stoneman High School in Parkland, Florida, in 2018. The act is the deadliest high school shooting in United States history. The victims included 14 high school students and three members of the school’s teaching staff. Cruz, 23, pleaded guilty Wednesday to 17 counts of murder, along with an additional 17 counts of attempted murder, saying in a statement to the court that he was “very sorry for what I did....

Parler markets itself as a haven for free speech, and its hands-off approach to content moderation has made it popular with conservatives, far-right groups and conspiracy theorists, including people who subscribe to QAnon, which is listed as a domestic terrorist threat by the FBI. Before Parler went offline, a QAnon propaganda video calling for a “great reawakening” in the U.S. ahead of the January 20 inauguration started gaining traction on the site....

Born as a spontaneous eruption of wild, underground drug parties, rave culture has become big business. From Barcelona to Reykjavik, 21 million European youths hit the clubs each week, and go on the road each summer seeking out the perfect rave in places like Ayia Napa, Cyprus or Ko Phangan, Thailand. Around 2 million land in Ibiza, packing club floors as large as 7,000 square meters. By sheer numbers, it was perhaps inevitable that raves would come out of the alleys and into superclubs, and that the clubs would evolve into corporations....

In a now-viral tweet from Monday, TSA officers at San Antonio International Airport said they found the weapon that day. The TSA Southwest post added: “It was undeclared, as required when traveling with firearms or weapons.” In the photo, a large weapon could be seen resting in a case alongside two olive green bags. While the TSA did not mention what model the weapon was, NBC5 and other media outlets described it as appearing to be a shoulder-fired Carl Gustaf recoilless rifle....

At the Anaheim, California, event, which was held earlier this month, Smith spoke about how he has seen the Southern Baptist denomination change in the past decade, and he called particular attention to the racism he said he has seen from some members. According to the pastor, some Southern Baptists “lost their minds” when “a Black man was elected president,” referring to Barack Obama’s historic victory in 2008. “I don’t mean agree about politics or policy or nothing,” said Smith, who is Black....
