While we don’t know all the answers yet, we do know the players who graduated from “fantasy sleepers” to “must-owns” (Matt Jones, Karlos Williams); the backups who possibly became starters (Devonta Freeman, Mike Davis); and the breakout players who look like they could be for real (Eric Ebron, David Johnson). The waiver wire is always a weekly roller coaster, so we’re here to offer advice on the best players to pick up heading into Week 3....

As usual, DraftKings’ prices are a bit more variable. That makes it easier to create three-player stacks or high-end two-player stacks. That said, FanDuel still offers some solid options, and savvy DFS players can take advantage of pricing inefficiencies on each site. MORE WEEK 5 DFS: Best values | Lineup Builder This week, there aren’t as many good running back/defense stacks as usual. It’s looking like a pass-heavy game slate, so most of our recommended stacks will involve quarterbacks and their pass-catching weapons (WR or TE)....

It is estimated that one in nine adults in the U.S. has symptoms of cognitive decline, experiencing confusion and memory loss as they get older. Eventually, this decline can continue to the point where people can no longer care for themselves, eventually developing Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. But age-related cognitive decline can be slowed down. Daily multivitamins Multivitamin use may help slow cognitive decline in older adults, a three-year study into dementia prevention has found....

“Pokemon” is a “Frankenstein” parable. An evil scientist has found a fossil of the great Pokemon Mew and extracted DNA. In a gloomy underwater lab, he creates a fearsome clone called Mewtwo. Mewtwo has issues. “These humans care nothing for me,” he gravely intones. “Am I just an experiment?” Apparently, he’s not just the world’s strongest Pokemon–he’s the most existential. Mewtwo turns psycho and invites people who train Pokemon to his storm-racked castle....

Disney takes liberties with the 17th-century legend, but “Pocahontas” is certainly true to current pedagogy. The British are ill shaven and greedy for gold, while the Indians, led by Chief Powha-tan (Russell Means), are gentle and wise, know all about nature, have family values and have even invented lacrosse. Look, up until now, Disney’s most memorable American Indian was Princess Tiger Lily; the company owes them one. Alan Menken’s music is inflated, and Stephen Schwartz’s lyrics are stilted; but this is a gorgeous-looking movie with a star worth cheering for....

From around the 12th century B.C., civilizations across the Eastern Mediterranean started to collapse. Cities were destroyed and the region was plunged into disarray. At this point, it is believed that a mystery group of seafaring people swept through the region, attacking places like Canaan, Syria and Egypt. Until now, it was unclear whether the cultural upheaval was driven by internal issues, or from the movement of people into new territories....

The latest find is called Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba (“basal family ancestor”). His appearance remains a mystery: with neither a skull nor intact limb bones to guide them (only a toothy jawbone, hand and foot bones, fragmentary arm bones and collarbone), all scientists can tell is that he was the size of today’s chimps, Haile-Selassie reports in the journal Nature. He found the first fossil on Dec. 16, 1997, as he walked across ancient sediments exposed by erosion....

“We urge Russian authorities to take all necessary actions to ensure his safety and health,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Wednesday. “We consider Mr. Navalny’s imprisonment on trumped-up charges to be politically motivated and a gross injustice.” Navalny, a fierce critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, is on a hunger strike in protest of the poor medical care he’s received in the prison where he’s been held since his arrest earlier this year....

With 70 percent of precincts reporting, Biden won the state with 33 percent of votes. Senator Bernie Sanders came in second with 27.3 percent, while Warren trailed behind in third with 20.9 percent. The Massachusetts senator, who on Saturday suffered a loss in South Carolina, is experiencing a low point in her candidacy after failing to secure good results in any of the first four contests ahead of Super Tuesday....

During his recent primetime address at the Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, Biden made some of his most direct attacks on the MAGA movement, describing the agenda as being “extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.” The president also told Americans that MAGA Republicans will attempt to “take this country backwards” if elected in the midterms by bringing in policies such as restricting abortion access across the country....

That is, the strategy uses public safety to justify leftist domination of both public policy and the public discourse, enforcing the regime’s ideology at the point of a government gun. It comes against the backdrop of the Woking of the defense, national security and intelligence apparatuses, the executive branch more broadly and society itself, whereby those who run afoul of progressivism are deemed bigoted and dangerous—and therefore liable to be purged....

The poll, conducted by Quinnipiac University, surveyed 1,332 registered voters from June 11 to 15. Among respondents between the ages of 18 and 34, 58 percent said they would vote for Biden if the presidential election were held today, while 31 percent favored Trump. The survey also found that Biden is holding a lead over Trump nationally. Forty-nine percent of respondents said they would vote for the former vice president, while 41 percent chose Trump....

The new package is part of the Biden administration’s commitment “to advancing prosperity, security, and freedom for both Israelis and Palestinians in tangible ways in the immediate term,” as Blinken put it. And for Palestinians, it could not have come at a more urgent time. UNRWA is responsible for the education of 500,000 Palestinian children. It provides health care and food to millions more. And it has been on the brink of financial ruin....

The poll, which was conducted by Third Way and David Binder Research, found Biden leading Trump by 11 points among suburban voters in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. According to the poll, 50 percent of respondents said they’d “definitely” vote for Biden, while 39 percent said the same for Trump. Among those remaining, 4 percent said Trump but still may change, 4 percent said Biden but still may change and 1 percent said someone else....

The former vice president’s lead over Trump has been consistent throughout Morning Consult’s presidential polling, the tech company said, but his advantage increased over the last month as the coronavirus pandemic and protests in response to the death of George Floyd dominated the news cycle. As the U.S. set record single-day highs of new COVID-19 cases, Trump’s approval rating hit an 18-month low, according to Real Clear Politics data. Another poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports showed the president’s approval rating among Republicans is also on the decline....

Congress is not sitting on its hands. On Tuesday, Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, took to the Senate floor to condemn the 2015 deal and the Biden administration’s rush to return to it. He argued that the deal allows the clerical regime to continue building its nuclear capacity: “This is exactly why I was so concerned over the JCPOA framework of leaving the vast majority of Iran’s nuclear program intact....
