The Premier League club managed to keep the Brazil attacker from Barcelona in the off-season, but the LaLiga giants are reportedly chasing Coutinho again in January. Ahead of his side’s FA Cup derby clash against Everton on Friday, Klopp insisted the ongoing saga would have no impact on the rest of his squad. “They are professional football players. Sometimes they are in the middle of the story and sometimes they are sat next to the guy in the dressing room who is in the middle of the story,” the German told UK newspapers....

Increasingly, the Democratic party establishment turns over its reins to members of the Squad and other socialist-progressive elected officials to be the party’s voice on significant issues that affect millions of people. But for a party that barely kept control of the House—thanks to voter perceptions that it has veered so far to the left as to become unrecognizable—that’s an odd decision. Consider the recent controversy over whether the CDC would continue to ban evictions, or even cancel rent for those who claim to be impacted by COVID-19....

For years, we have studied the skills executives utilize to lead their organizations. The COVID-19 pandemic gave us our first opportunity to examine the impact of a crisis on a global scale. We surveyed over 3,026 executives worldwide in partnership with The Official Board, a global corporate directory of medium and large companies. Thirty percent of respondents were based in the United States, with the remainder representing 120 countries from every continent, except Antarctica....

“[The risk] is pretty heightened in a restaurant situation,” Curtis White, PhD, a microbiologist, indoor air-quality expert, and the chief technology officer of ViaClean Technologies, tells Verywell. “You’re going to remove the mask to eat.” What the Report Found CDC researchers interviewed 314 adults who received a SARS-CoV-2 test in July about possible virus exposure in the 14 days leading up to their symptom onset. All adults were experiencing symptoms at the time of testing, but the sample size included 154 people who had tested positive and 160 individuals in a control group who had tested negative for COVID-19....

“The situation we’re in now is largely because we haven’t been able to get the vaccine that we need,” said Brad Hazzard, New South Wales’ state health minister. Surges have been breaking out across Australia, causing nearly half the population to be placed under lockdown last week. Sydney and its surrounding area remain the only part of the country still in lockdown. For more reporting from the Associated Press, see below:...

While lucky Cowboys fans in Los Angeles will get free frozen treats and grooming gear delivered by Murray, he’s also getting revved up for the Cowboys’ upcoming training camp, which kicks off in nearby Oxnard, Calif., on July 24. Murray talked to Sporting News about his summer off the field and his expectations for him and his team this season.

The longtime Cowboys tight end shocked everyone when he stepped away from a cushy gig in the “Monday Night Football” booth to strap his helmet back on and rejoin Dallas. Now back at field level, Witten is finding new ways to motivate himself at age 37. He said a recent trip to Duke with a few teammates included a dinner with hall of fame basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski. During the meal, Krzyzewski told a story from his USA basketball days that resonated with Witten....

Gregory, who was originally handed a four-game suspension in February for a violation of the NFL’s substance abuse policy, had another 10-game suspension tacked on due to an unspecific additional infraction. He has already started his four-game suspension, and adding 10 more games will keep him out through Week 14. It is unclear whether Gregory violated the substance abuse policy by failing or missing a test. Despite being a highly-touted pass rusher out of Nebraska, Gregory, a second-round pick in 2015, recorded just 11 tackles and zero sacks last season in Dallas....

The Dallas Cowboys quarterback has two options: undergo surgery, known as the Mumford procedure, which involves shaving a portion of clavicle, or the more conventional method of having a plate installed.

Of course, everything’s bigger in Texas, so expect this upcoming season of HBO’s long-running behind-the-scenes look at NFL training camp should be a real doozy.

Though Smith was easily one of the most talented players in the draft, his playing status was in doubt, not just for this year, but his entire career. Smith suffered nerve damage in his left leg while playing for Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl last year, which had many wondering if he’d ever play again. The first step was getting that pesky nerve to re-activate, then he had to re-gain his form and strength....

In the past, discussing medical issues and getting medical advice over the phone was not reimbursed by insurance or billed to patients. Recently, some private insurance companies have begun to pay for patient-to-provider phone calls, especially when the calls are prolonged and when medical decisions are made. Nevertheless, you may be billed for the whole cost, or you may have to pay a co-pay. While you shouldn’t hesitate to call your doctor, you should familiarize yourself with your doctor’s policy and your insurer’s policy about phone calls and online correspondence....

The original game launched in 2010 on the Xbox 360 and instantly became a cult hit. While it may struggle to keep up with modern titles in terms of graphical, audio and quest design – it will be an excellent primer for the brand new title that launches in a couple of weeks. Crackdown 3 has been a long-anticipated title (and you can find out all the details surrounding the game right here) and Microsoft is making the original game available by way of apology for taking such a long time to bring this one to market....

The ex-Inter man passed former record-holder Juninho as he levelled the game at the Britannia Stadium, scoring his 30th goal in the top-flight. ‘If Ozil stays, Ramsey will go’ Juninho had previously seen his mark equalled in Coutinho’s last Premier League run-out, when he hit the net against Bournemouth. The former Atletico Madrid and Celtic man, now retired, scored his goals in three separate spells for Middlesbrough. Coutinho, however, may soon face competition from a team-mate for the record....
