Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. at Kyle Field in College Station, Tex. The game will be televised on CBS. It’s the only matchup between ranked teams in Week 10. Auburn (6-2) still has a chance to win the SEC West, but they need this road victory to keep those hopes alive. Quarterback Bo Nix has guided the Tigers to a pair of division victories against Arkansas and Ole Miss, and the Tigers have exceeded expectations under first-year coach Bryan Harsin....

TikTok users participating in the challenge would impersonate a Holocaust victim as if they were in heaven and explain how they died. While “crucial” to share victims’ stories as a means of commemoration and education, role playing as a victim isn’t the way to do it, the museum said in a statement, calling it “indeed hurtful and even considered offensive.” Some of the videos in the TikTok challenge are “dangerously close” or “beyond the border of trivialization of history and being disrespectful to the victims....

Kruse scored in the 13th minute for VfL Bochum in their home clash with Heidenheim overnight, following on from his winner against Darmstadt last weekend. Unfortunately, Heidenheim equalised shortly afterwards and found a winner in the 73rd minute, but Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou will be noticing Kruse’s impressive form ahead of their upcoming World Cup playoff against Syria.

The country entered its fourth lockdown of the pandemic on Monday after the average daily deaths from the virus tripled in recent weeks and intensive care units in the more severely affected states started to reach capacity. While details of Schallenberg’s mandate have yet to be announced, experts have theorized that only certain age groups or employees may be subject to the requirement. Italy has sought to increase vaccinations among its own population by requiring workers to show health passes, which can be obtained by showing proof of vaccination, a recent negative test or evidence of recent recovery from the virus, in order to enter their places of employment, AP reported....

Ordinarily it pays to be circumspect when a study links a toxic chemical to human disease, especially when that link rests solely on animal experiments. But a study released this evening in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences caught my eye. It was led by neuroscientist Michael Merzenich of the University of California, San Francisco, who has done pioneering research on neuroplasticity, the ability of the brain to change (for good or ill) in response to experience....

For a driver that has won the past two races during NASCAR’s west coast swing, the odds may appear to be somewhat attractive considering he was as low as 9-to-5 last week at Phoenix. The wide 2-mile layout of Fontana has been much harder for Harvick to conquer than Phoenix has been, but he hasn’t won in Las Vegas either. The best betting strategy for this week is to pay close attention to what happened at the 1....

Jussi Jokinen scored the first one, in 2009 for the Hurricanes vs....

Just over one year later, and that statement no longer holds true, as MacKinnon and the Avalanche were crowned Stanley Cup champions on Sunday night. Colorado defeated Tampa Bay in six games of the finals, stopping the two-time defending champions from a historic three-peat.

Some nursing careers require no degree, while most require an associate’s degree, bachelor’s, master’s degree in nursing, or other advanced degree. Even doctorate level degrees are available for nurses. As a nurse, your degree and your job responsibilities greatly affect your earning power. Your location, hours, and experience also impact your salary. Below are some average salaries for a variety of nursing careers. Licensed vocational nurses (LVN) and licensed practical nurses (LPN) are some of the lowest-paid nursing roles, but that is due to the fact that the educational requirements are less than most other types of nurses....

An avulsion fracture of the fifth metatarsal, also called a “pseudo-Jones fracture,” is the most common type of fifth metatarsal fracture. The fifth metatarsal is the bone that runs from the midfoot to the base of the small toe on the outside of the foot. An avulsion fracture of the fifth metatarsal occurs where a tendon attaches to the bone at this point (the peroneus brevis tendon). When an avulsion fracture occurs, the tendon pulls off a tiny fragment of bone....

A 4-1 thumping at Watford on Monday, in which Tiemoue Bakayoko was sent off inside half an hour, followed a 3-0 home defeat at the hands of Bournemouth. Chelsea were beaten in the Carabao Cup semi-final by Arsenal last month and have only won one of their last five Premier League matches, the champions now sitting a point above fifth-placed Tottenham in the battle for Champions League qualification. Despite the pressure intensifying on Conte, Azpilicueta backed Chelsea to refocus ahead of a Champions League last-16 clash with Barcelona, the first leg of which is at Stamford Bridge on February 20....

Diego Costa’s goal proved the difference as the Blues beat Middlesbrough 1-0 at the Riverside Stadium to go top of the league at the end of a match week for the first time since they won the league in May 2015. Antonio Conte’s men kept their sixth successive clean sheet in the Premier League, but had to battle for the points against a committed Middlesbrough side, and Azpilicueta believes that being top will give him and his teammates even more confidence....
