Only two hours earlier, Montgomery County, Md., Police Chief Charles Moose had declared John Allen Muhammad, (born John Allen Williams), a 41-year-old gulf war veteran with no sniper training, and Lee Malvo, 17, “armed and dangerous” and wanted for federal firearms violations. The capture of the two black males, who federal authorities told NEWSWEEK they believe are responsible for three weeks of terror in the Washington area, may have come hours before there was another victim....

The dash, in description, is simplicity itself. ““You really don’t have time to do anything except get out of the blocks, and the next thing you know you’re at the finish,’’ says Erv Hunt, coach of the U.S. men’s Olympic track team. But in deconstruction, the race is a set of separate parts. Some coaches break the race down into as many as seven distinct phases: start, acceleration, transition, the first maximum-velocity phase, second velocity phase, speed maintenance and finish....

Types of Thrombotic Stroke A thrombotic stroke may also be called a cerebral thrombosis, a cerebral infarction or a cerebral infarct. Thrombotic strokes are divided into two categories based on the size of the area of blockage within the brain: large-vessel thrombosis and small-vessel thrombosis. Large-vessel stroke occurs in the larger blood-supplying arteries of the brain, such as the carotid artery or middle cerebral artery. Large-vessel thrombotic strokes typically cause substantial symptoms and long-term effects, such as aphasia (trouble with language) or hemiparesis (weakness of one side of the body....

Women develop this circulatory condition about twice as often as men. Though unsightly, varicose and spider veins don’t always require medical attention. When they do, sclerotherapy, injecting a solution into the vein to force blood to reroute to healthier veins, is a common treatment. In the most serious cases, surgery may be required. These veins can cause dull discomfort that may get worse as you age, but severe pain is uncommon....

Fortunately, chlamydia is a largely preventable infection. Learning how Chlamydia trachomatis behaves can give you a better understanding of what makes an infection more likely. Chlamydia Bacterium Most bacteria are capable of reproducing on their own as long as they’re in a hospitable environment—but not the type associated with chlamydia. The chlamydia bacterium must rely on its hosts (humans) to survive, much like a virus does. Essentially, chlamydia treats the insides of human cells like great big grocery stores....

Keep this in mind as you read through the wide-ranging list of causes and risk factors for ED, which includes medications, health conditions, injury, smoking, and more. Common Causes Only a healthcare provider can confirm the cause of your erectile dysfunction. Often, an underlying disease or condition is to blame (see below). But one or more of the following issues may also be at play. Age Research shows that, in general, men experience more sexual problems as the years go by....

Common Causes Although there are any number of reasons a person may develop a rash, only Group A streptococcus causes scarlet fever. Group A Streptococcus is a bacteria that commonly causes strep throat in school-age children and adults. It can also cause impetigo, which is a bacterial infection on the skin. Very rarely, some people with Group A strep infections may develop post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis—a kidney disease that occurs after strep throat, scarlet fever, or impetigo....

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also highlights Alzheimer’s as a significant cause of death, pointing out that between 1999 and 2014, deaths attributed to Alzheimer’s rose by 55%. One of the challenges in tracking deaths from Alzheimer’s is that Alzheimer’s disease is not always identified as the cause of death on a death certificate. Sometimes, the conditions that develop from Alzheimer’s are listed instead as primary on the death certificate....

According to ESPN, Smith and the Cavs have come to terms on a four-year, $57 million deal. Smith, 31, reportedly declined the team’s offer of an estimated $10-$11 million earlier in the offseason after opting out of the second year of a deal that was set to pay him $5.3 million in 2016-17. He averaged 12.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and hit 204 3-pointers in 77 starts for Cleveland....

According to The Vertical, Lue has agreed to a five-year extension worth $35 million, putting him on the same pay scale as new Wizards coach Scott Brooks. MORE: Memorable photos from Cleveland’s championship parade Having been handed the reins to the defending Eastern Conference champions at mid-season after David Blatt was fired, Lue had to learn how to take control of the team on the fly while the collective basketball world second-guessed him....

Footage taken from the scene shows the aftermath of a black car hitting a barricade on East Pine Street and 11th Avenue on Capitol Hill on Sunday, where people had been gathering to protest the death of George Floyd for the past several days.

The rapper was among those arrested, according to Luke Jones, a reporter at WREG-TV. The shooting in question occurred near Coldwater, Mississippi on Thursday around 12:43 p.m. local time. The victim’s vehicle was allegedly fired upon while traveling on Interstate 55. The vehicle then exited the highway to notify and wait for police. The victims’ associates told police that the suspected shooters had continued south on the interstate. The posse is suspected to have been heading to Biloxi where Big Boogie had a Thursday night performance scheduled....

Jones is daring Ohio State NOT to start him in 2015. Why go through the motions? Why go back to Ginn Academy in Cleveland with high school coach Ted Ginn Sr. to announce you were coming back to Ohio State next season? That’s quite a production. Then again, so was the last month. Jones had the most unprecedented three-games-and-change joyride of perhaps any third-string quarterback in college football history. He made sure Ohio State finished off Michigan....

Presenting SN's Five by Five, a quick recap in which we try to figure out exactly what we just saw by looking at five key moments during the game for each team. For the visiting Cardinals . . . 1. St. Louis hit .330 with runners in scoring position during the regular season but was just 7-for-34 (.194) during the postseason heading into Game 4. In the club's first such opportunity Tuesday, Matt Carpenter laced a double into left-center to chase home Daniel Descalso from second base in the top of the third inning....

McCarver works alongside play-by-play man Dan McLaughlin, who received less than sterling marks here for his work with Al Hrabosky in May. Adam Wainwright is on the mound for St. Louis, which enters this game at 43-36, opposed by Josh Beckett of the Dodgers, who enter this game at 44-36. FACTS AND MEMORIES During the game’s first at-bat, with Matt Carpenter at the plate, McLaughlin mentions how Beckett was the No....

Series odds: The series price took another huge swing after the Cubs made it 1-1 with a 6-3 victory in Game 2 in St. Louis. With the next two games scheduled in the Windy City, and Arrieta a heavy favorite for Game 3, oddsmakers peg Chicago as a -165 favorite to win the best-of-five NLDS, a shift from +175 following Game 1.

“Starting on June 6, several of our former employees posted reports on social media about a toxic work environment in our Chicago office,” the statement began. “Many of them centered on one of our eight co-founders, Max Temkin, who led that office. We immediately began an internal investigation.” The company announced adjustments that saw Temkin step down from his office on June 9. They also hired specialists to reform the company’s HR department for transparent hiring as well as started bias training with an outside company, the press release revealed....

The mood is uneasy in Montreal, to put it mildly. POWER RANKINGS: Rangers, Habs in a free fall A 1-6-1 record — the franchise’s worst eight-game start to a season since 1941-42 — will do that, and frustration was the cliche of choice in the Habs’ locker room following the 6-2 loss to the Ducks, their seventh in a row to a cap a three-game California trip on which they were outscored 16-5....
