She’ll retire as the leading goal-scorer in USWNT history with 184.

Overview The most sought-after treatment for A-fib has been one that cures the arrhythmia with ablation. Ablation is a procedure that maps, localizes, and destroys the source of the patient’s heart arrythmia by creating scarring inside the heart to interrupt the irregular rhythm. It is performed either during an electrophysiology study (a test to assess your heart’s electrical system) or in the surgical suite. Generally, ablation is accomplished by applying radiofrequency energy (cauterization) or cryoenergy (freezing) through a catheter (a thin tube), to destroy a small area of cardiac muscle in order to disrupt the arrhythmia....
And, what do you know, Howard has been in the lineup almost every day since. So, did Amaro win a power struggle with his skipper? Sandberg said Tuesday that’s not what happened, and he insisted that Howard hadn’t lost his job. “No, the reason for the rest was for him to regroup and make some adjustments, which he continues to search for and continues to do,” Sandberg told reporters, per MLB....
The AC joint is where the acromion (the tip of your shoulder blade—scapula) meets your clavicle (collarbone). “AC” is short for “acromioclavicular,” which describes those two bones. Cartilage (flexible but tough tissue) forms a cushion between them. A thin layer of synovial fluid also helps lubricate the joint. This article will look at the sources of AC joint pain and how the discomfort can be treated and managed. What Does AC Joint Pain Feel Like?...

That’s not the plus-one college football fans are talking about. Notre Dame is a full member of the ACC in football for this season and will be able to participate in the conference championship game. The Irish bring one of the game’s biggest brands to the field, and that spices up a season where Clemson is aiming for its sixth straight conference championship.

Winning the toss, Oman sent Nepal to bat first. Batting first, Nepal were 156 all out in 45 overs. The Nepali batsmen failed to cope with the spinners of Oman. The only notable contribution from the Nepalese batting line-up came from vice-captain Gyanendra Malla who scored 26 and opener Naresh Budaayer scoring 23 runs. A. Kaleem was pick of the bowling for Oman with 4 wickets Oman, a surprise package at the ACC Premier League, achieved the target of 157 losing 8 of its wickets in 47....
Assigning blame for the East Timor carnage–and the recent deaths of three U.N. workers in West Timor–is a tricky issue for Jakarta. Reason: the Indonesian military funded and trained the militias responsible for the crimes. Many Indonesians do not think what happened in East Timor was a big deal, given the country’s violent history, and there’s been no public outcry for a trial. If there is one, it could prove hugely embarrassing....
The reason for the radical proposal is clear. “The Soviet Union is a military-procurement system gone mad,” says a veteran Western ambassador to Moscow. For more than two years, Gorbachev has unsuccessfully sought to reform the huge military-industrial complex that has monopolized Soviet manpower, technology and resources since the end of World War II. But shifting production from military to civilian use has proven nearly impossible. So far, only six of 430 defense plants targeted in a previous Gorbachev plan have actually been fully converted....
This challenging-yet-lighthearted series is unique in its emphasis on coordination; players are tasked with balancing monkeys as they roll across winding paths on a time limit. Collecting hidden bananas and building momentum to bounce off of platforms are also integral to the game flow, as this Sega arcade action applies gravity in ways that are far removed from reality – the games simply implement physics that fits in with this cartoonish adventure....
Last month Britain’s Man Booker committee awarded DBC Pierre’s “Vernon God Little” its prestigious [Pound sterling]50,000 prize. In the announcement, the novel was praised as a “coruscating black comedy reflecting our alarm but also our fascination with modern America.” The story of a high-school shooting in Texas also reflects seriously divergent literary tastes. Reviews in the U.K. and Australia, where Pierre is from, have been largely laudatory, while most American critics have found much to dislike....
Good politics and good policy often diverge–but not here. A strong economic recovery should shield the steel industry from large job losses even without tariffs, which now cover almost a third of steel imports (by value) and are as high as 24 percent. Of course, rescinding the tariffs will trigger loud protests from steelworkers, companies and their political allies. The president will be accused of reneging on his promise to provide protection until 2005....
The last time that a former president made a serious attempt at the White House was way back in 1912, when Theodore Roosevelt lost the Republican nomination to sitting President William Howard Taft. Roosevelt ran as the Progressive Party candidate, easily crushing Taft in both the popular and Electoral College vote, but losing badly to Democrat Woodrow Wilson. Roosevelt hinted at an effort in 1916 and was set to run in 1920, but died beforehand....
As more people get vaccinated, fears about the COVID-19 vaccines are reaching all-time lows. According to our latest Verywell Health Vaccine Sentiment Tracker, only 13% of our surveyed audience would definitely not agree to take a free COVID-19 shot. This is the lowest rejector number we’ve seen since starting the survey in December. But as a return to pre-pandemic life seems imminent, Americans are on the fence about something new: vaccine passports....

Campbell also described to the Times how he came to the decision to pursue football: There are two sides to the argument over whether this was a proper decision. As the Army struggles to expand, any strong recruiting effort by Campbell may truly help. At the same time, how does one go play football while his classmates go to war? Phil Carter at Intel Dump wondered how effective Campbell could actually be:...
Never before have so many structural changes in the international system occurred simultaneously. Some elements are now global–for example, economics and communications–while politics remains confined to the nation-state or is reduced to ethnic units. To make a long-term difference, the re-elected Clinton administration must envision the world it seeks to achieve. Only in that way will it be able to establish criteria for judging where it is heading. Let me focus on three areas likely to present the greatest challenges in the next century: Asia, the Persian Gulf, and the transatlantic region encompassing the NATO countries and the territory of the former Soviet bloc....
Apparently, this pesky peace agreement doesn’t fit the narrative of many Democrats, activists, boycotters, Israel bashers and Palestinian rejectionists. Some Democrats resent the Abraham Accords because the president behind them was Donald Trump, not Joe Biden. New administrations like touting their own policies, and are reluctant to recognize any lingering glory boosting their predecessor. Given current Democratic-Republican hostilities, it is not surprising that President Biden would hesitate to celebrate one of Donald Trump’s achievements....
