Transfer window winners & losers After coming through the youth ranks at Anfield, Gerrard became a Liverpool legend during his 17-years as a professional with the Reds. Gerrard bid an emotional farewell at the end of the 2014-15 season and spent 18 months in MLS with LA Galaxy, before it was announced last week that he would return to Liverpool as a full-time academy coach. The Reds revealed Gerrard would “serve as a coach at the youth complex in Kirkby, operating in a wide-ranging role in the professional development phase of young players”....

A few years ago Bandini might have served as a prime example of the hot workplace trend: high-achieving women who were “opting out,” quitting high-paying, sought-after jobs to raise children, care for aging parents or just escape from the chaos that often accompanies dual-income coupledom. Feminists decried the trend as a step backward, while skeptics questioned whether the statistics really showed women to be quitting in vast numbers. But lately, the debate over “Why Women Quit” has taken a subtle turn....

Travel Tips When Flying First, do not check your CPAP machine as baggage. It is important that it not become damaged during transit, and the only way to ensure this is to keep it with you as a carry-on bag. According to the Department of Transportation (DOT), medical devices such as CPAP are not counted as one of your carry-on or personal items, so you should not be worried about carrying it with you....

The authors analyzed data from the ZOE COVID Symptom Study, a mobile application in the U.K. where users can report infections and log symptoms to help researchers study COVID-19 cases. They found that individuals who were fully vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines are almost 50% less likely to develop long COVID than unvaccinated individuals should they get infected by the virus. The September study, published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, demonstrates that the two-dose vaccine series provides significant protection against severe and symptomatic disease....

The NFL is still the most popular sports league in the United States, drawing the highest TV ratings by far. Its revenues climbed above $9 billion last year and the Super Bowl between Seattle and Denver in New Jersey will be the most watched television program of the year. MORE SUPER BOWL: Odds | Weather plan | Eli the ticket man The AP-GfK poll was released Saturday. Last year, 56 percent of people polled said they were NFL fans, and that number dropped slightly to 49 percent this year....

The British socialite denies grooming underage girls for her former lover to abuse between 1994 and 1997. She is currently detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center, in Brooklyn. Ahead of her trial in July, Bobbi Sternheim wrote to the Manhattan Federal Court warning that Maxwell was losing weight and hair as she faced “punitive” conditions. In the letter, Sternheim wrote: “The conditions under which she is detained are punitive, unwarranted, deleteriously impacting her ability to prepare her defense, and interfering with counsel’s ability to provide the legal representation to which she, and any other detainee, deserves....

Giannis Antetokounmpo delivered a performance for the ages as the Bucks beat the Suns 105-98 in Game 6 in front of a raucous crowd at Fiserv Forum. It was Milwaukee’s first championship since 1971. Phoenix’s wait for a maiden NBA title will continue for another 12 months at least after the Suns squandered a two-game lead in the NBA Finals. Antetokounmpo finished with 50 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks—and scooped the NBA Finals MVP award....

The Bucks, who are eyeing a first NBA championship since 1971, suffered disappointment in the playoffs last season, going out in a 4-1 Eastern Conference semifinals series loss to the Heat. Their exit came after they had finished the regular season with an NBA-best 56-17 record. The postseason blow prompted speculation over the future of Antetokounmpo, who has been named NBA MVP two straight years and can become a free agent at the end of the 2020-21 season, when he will be eligible for a supermax extension....

The iceberg, which has an area of nearly 600 square miles, finally broke away from the 490-foot-thick Brunt ice shelf in Antarctica sometime between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM ET on Sunday. This “calving,” as the break-away of icebergs is known, came after years of cracks naturally forming on the ice sheet. The final blow occurred when a crack called Chasm-1 fully broke through the entire layer of ice....

Ratcliffe said that the client lived on a cattle farm. Rather than relying on a public water supplier, the property received water from an underground pump via a borehole. “The customer has had years of intermittent soakaway issues and backfilling problems…probably due to the age of the system, as it’s not on mains drainage,” Ratcliffe told Newsweek. “The toilet age is unknown, but going off the overall state of the house, I guess it’s at least 10 years old,” he said....

In an interview with NEWSWEEK, the ship’s captain, John Bennett, said it took his 25-man crew two hours to land the beast, which surfaced barely alive, eating a hooked fish that was being reeled in. “Being alongside a creature that big is just awesome,” he said. The adult male squid is being donated to research, and scientists are eagerly waiting for it to thaw so they can examine it before it goes on display at New Zealand’s national museum in Wellington....

Wildfires along the West Coast, from Oregon to California, turned the sky orange over San Francisco and Oakland, sites of Oracle Park and the Alameda County Coliseum, respectively. A nighttime feel smothered the Bay Area during daytime hours. Suffice it to say, these are not images of ballparks at sunset, but rather at sun blockage. Both games were played to a conclusion; the Giants routed the Mariners 10-1 and the A’s defeated the Astros 3-2 on a walk-off hit by Ramon Laureano....

First, Daboll decided to go for it on fourth-and-8 from the Eagles’ 40 on the team’s first drive of the game. The offense failed to convert. Then, with his team trailing by three touchdowns early in the fourth quarter, Daboll decided to punt on fourth-and-6 from the Giants’ 42 against a run-heavy team capable of taking time off the clock. Daboll answered for both decisions after New York’s 38-7 NFC divisional round loss....

The Giants rookie took just two at-bats to blast a home run in Boston. His Hall of Fame relative, in attendance Tuesday, took six games to achieve the same task. Mike Yastrzemski’s reception and long ball to center field created a memorable evening for two teams otherwise not playing for much this September. While he is almost certainly not bound for the MLB success of Carl Yastrzemski, he now has a capstone for his impressive 2019 campaign....

Sweet Carl line, indeed. “I was just excited being able to do that before friends and family,” Mike Yastrzemski said afterward (via The Assocated Press). “The crowd reactions, all night, were incredible. I can’t thank them enough for being supportive.” Yastrzemski turned around a 95.8 mph fastball from Nathan Eovaldi, hitting it into the center-field bleachers. Translation: not a cheapie. Even Eovaldi appreciated the moment. “Yeah, it’s cool,” he said....

However, New York Giants general manager Jerry Reese isn’t convinced his star wide receiver played through those injuries. “I don’t know about that,” Reese said during his press conference at the NFL Scouting Combine, via Newsday. “I think he’s trying to be a hero. I don’t think you can play with two [tears in your] hamstring and run fast like that.” Reese insisted that if Beckham did have two tears in his hamstring, he would not have played in the Pro Bowl....

The Eagles are tied with Dallas atop the division but have not looked good the past two weeks. Quarterback Nick Foles is struggling with accuracy on intermediate and long throws, running back LeSean McCoy can’t seem to get untracked, and the linebacking corps is banged up. Philly was fortunate to escape with a home win after building a 34-7 lead over the Rams last week. The line: Eagles -3 (even), Total: 50...

Neither view is quite right: the United States profits far more from its engagement with the world than its citizens recognize. And it’s far more benevolent than outsiders think. Aside from managing the endgame in Iraq, therefore, the greatest foreign-policy challenge facing President George W. Bush in the next 18 months—and the toughest job his successor will confront—will be how to convince everyone else that things really aren’t that bad, and that desperate measures to change course would be unnecessary and unwise....

The question is goofy. Ferretti has a decades-long career and has won multiple titles while Almeyda is only beginning his time on the bench. But such is Chivas’ popularity that the 43-year-old still won the poll, and for 80 minutes they looked right. Yedlin returns home to train with Sounders Chivas controlled the match. Almeyda’s decision to start Michael Perez next to Jose Juan Vazquez in the center of the midfield looked genius....
