Both coaches were asked about their thoughts on that resurrected showdown in 1986, which Michigan won 26-24 in Columbus. Harbaugh backed up that guarantee for Bo Schembechler. Meyer watched from the sideline as an assistant coach under Earle Bruce. MORE: No words needed for Michigan-OSU rivalry Thirty years later, Harbaugh returns as Michigan’s coach to Ohio Stadium with Meyer at the helm for Ohio State. It’s 10-1 vs. 10-1 and No....

In most people, sustained or repeated pain is perceived as diminishing. For example, when they put on a tight pair of pants, it may be a little painful at first, but then the pain fades away. If the dentist pokes at healthy gums multiple times, the first poke will hurt the worst and subsequent ones will hurt less. That’s because pathways in the brain and spinal cord kick in to block the sensation of pain....

“When I started medical education, I expected to come out as an empowered and informed queer provider. But medical education then and even now can be biased, stigmatizing, and even offensive towards LGBTQ+ communities,” Nowaskie tells Verywell. “At the same time, I was trying to find my own doctor who I felt understood me and my needs as an LGBTQ+ person, and all I could find were blogs and word-of-mouth referrals....

In the year since Harris and Klebold took the lives of 12 students and a teacher at Columbine High, the families of the victims have begun to emerge from the shock of their terrible grief. Many of the families have pulled together to form a quiet support network, meeting monthly for potluck dinners. They’ve united in a cause, raising $3.1 million to replace the school’s bullet-pocked library. Yet in private, each family has been left to answer the question that Daniel Mauser’s father, Tom, says ate at him in the weeks after the shooting: “How are you going to get on with your life?...

Firefighters were dispatched to a wildfire, dubbed the Sam Fire, at 4:07 p.m. Arriving on the scene, Los Angeles County Fire Department said an estimated four acres was ablaze, which they later categorized as a second-alarm brush fire. Video published by local news site KTLA shows large quantities of air being sucked into a vortex-like fire tornado. Filmed by helicopter, a man can be heard describing the fire tornado as “the biggest one I’ve ever seen....

Several reports have emerged of residents in the area witnessing a bright flash of light and hearing a loud bang at around 8:55 p.m. local time on Monday, KMOV reported. St. Louis City Scanner Traffic said it had received multiple reports of a “bright light and boom” from Troy all the way to St. Peters. Furthermore, the incident was also captured by a handful of webcams and home security cameras....

Now, that fury is bubbling over into an open rage. On Wednesday, the Times’s Peter Kilborn sent out a blistering e-mail to more than a dozen colleagues and the two top editors on the national desk. “Bragg’s comments in defense of his reportorial routines are outrageous,” Kilborn wrote. “I hope there is some way that we as correspondents, alone or with the support of the desk, can get the word out there, within The Times and outside, that we do not operate that way....

The next, you’re one bad loss away from losing your job. Welcome to the world of Bo Pelini, the Nebraska coach, who after seven years of consistently staying ahead of the pink slip, might not make it past this season in Lincoln. MORE: 10 potential playoff-wrecking teams | Playoff rankings | Bowl projections All it took was a record-breaking performance last weekend from Wisconsin tailback Melvin Gordon, and the reality that Pelini’s Nebraska’s teams are good enough to make you hope – but never good enough to make it happen....

The new SUV is one of the first steps of the Lexus Electrified vision, which will expand its selection of hybrids, plug-ins and BEVs, with an aim of offering a full slate of BEVs in all categories by the end of the decade. Lexus says that five years after it plans to sell 100 percent BEVs globally. “We believe that Lexus should continue pursuing the creation of exciting cars while respecting nature and the global environment to achieve a carbon-neutral society,” said Takashi Watanabe, chief engineer, ‘Lexus Electrified,’ Lexus International in a press release....

Toy manufacturer Hasbro confirmed a limited edition set of the table-top game would be released with the 22 players wearing Arsenal and Chelsea colours to commemorate this weekend’s clash. The iconic Subbuteo box has also been given a makeover with female players now taking centre stage on the packaging. Marzena Bogdanowicz, the FA’s head of marketing and commercial for women’s football, said: “This new, all-female Subbuteo set is a reflection of the rapid growth that women’s football is seeing in the UK right now....

The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS)—the largest single mass of ice on Earth, covering about 98 percent of the southern continent—is currently losing mass. And the rate at which this mass loss is contributing to sea-level rise is increasing. The AIS is encircled by floating, sea-based ice shelves that surround the continent and help hold the land-based ice shelves in place. Data has shown that in recent years, these floating ice shelves that surround the AIS are thinning—likely as a result of ocean warming or changes in ocean circulation....

President Joe Biden will not be joining his wife for the ceremony, making the Japan excursion her only solo trip abroad as first lady so far. A state of emergency was declared in Tokyo following a rise in COVID-19 cases. The state of emergency will be in place through August 22, two weeks beyond the scheduled closing date of the Olympics, August 8. The Japanese government has said that the games, which were postponed last year due to the ongoing pandemic, will be held without crowds of spectators....

Phexxi, developed by biopharmaceutical company Evofem Biosciences, is considered an “on-demand” type of birth control, meaning you only use it when you need it. The contraceptive is scheduled for release in early September. How Does It Work? Like spermicides, Phexxi needs to be inserted vaginally before sex. But unlike spermicides, which block the entrance to the cervix and slow down sperm so they’re not powerful enough to reach the egg, Phexxi works by changing the pH of the vagina during sex to prevent pregnancy....

Still, the numbers aren’t pretty. An average of 6.9 million people tuned into ABC, NBC and CBS to watch the affair each of the four nights, down a dramatic 40 percent from four years ago, even as party leaders and the media gave the first-ever virtual political convention high marks. The drop in the audience came despite the fact that roughly 16 fewer hours of content was available in 2020 compared with 2016, so the audience was presumably less fragmented this time around....

The Phillies are also going to play baseball, apparently. So, what can be expected in 2015? Here are five predictions, including exclamation points, because this Phillies season will need a little bit of pizazz.

On July 19, off the coast of the Netherlands, three beaked whales were present very close to a beach, requiring local residents to form a human barricade and ward the whales away from the shore and the risk of becoming stranded, according to the SOS Dolphin Foundation. “Despite the fact that the species is a deep-sea whale and does not have a particularly good chance in the North Sea, we hope that the animals will be able to leave the North Sea again,” said SOS Dolphin Foundation in the caption of a social media post sharing a video of the whales....

Ronaldo hat-trick inspires Madrid derby win The 31-year-old has reached double figures in the Champions League in each of the last five seasons, leading the scoring charts with a record 17 strikes en route to La Decima in 2013-14 and then 16 as Madrid claimed the trophy again last season. That tally included 11 in the group stages as Ronaldo ran amok against Malmo (six goals in two games) and Shakhtar Donetsk (five in two), plus strikes home and away to Roma in the last 16 and a hat-trick in the quarter-final second leg versus Wolfsburg as Los Blancos overcame a 2-0 deficit from the first match....

Here are five players we are very excited to watch in 2021. Dylan Carlson, Cardinals Sometimes, you just need to take a breath. Carlson might not have wanted a breath last summer — he was sent back to the Cardinals’ alternate site after posting just a .458 OPS with five RBIs in his first 23 big league games — but the breath was nevertheless necessary. Carlson was brought back up to the big club in early September, and in his 11 starts to the end of the shortened regular season, the switch-hitting rookie posted a ....

Chances are there will be a few new playoff teams this season, and probably a new Super Bowl champion. The Patriots were the last team to repeat in 2004 and 2005. The Jets and Falcons looked like playoff teams for part of the season last year but were unable to finish. The Bills and Raiders are close to being playoff contenders, but they’re not quite ready to make a push for the Super Bowl....
