Back to Work: Maybe things will be looking up COVID-wise by the summer or fall if Texas doesn’t screw everything up. But, variants aside, it’s clear there’s some light at the end of the tunnel. That means that the great debate has begun on how the-back-to-the-office thing is going to go, especially for younger folks. Full-time? Part-time? Ever? There are a few clues already. The usual tech suspects, like Facebook, are keen to let anyone work anywhere—as long as they’re not paid West Coast wages in Kansas....

“These types of tests will be a game-changer in our fight against COVID-19 and will be crucial as the nation looks toward reopening,” FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn said in a statement. The announcement comes on the heels of a July 22 study that found at-home COVID-19 test kits had comparable results to COVID-19 tests conducted at a doctor’s office. The study, published in JAMA, recruited 185 people—mostly healthcare workers—who either visited a drive-through testing site or already had a positive test result for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19....

RELATED: The Highest-Selling Call Of Duty Games, Ranked (& How Much They Sold) What goes up must come down though, and the Atari 2600 came down with a crash so hard that it almost destroyed the home console industry. This was predominantly due to the awful reception of two games that, surprisingly, both make it onto this list.

The national Pew Research Center survey of registered Democrats released Friday found Biden holds the support of 36 percent of Protestants and a whopping 44 percent of black Protestants, four times more than any other candidate. Catholic and Jewish voters also leaned toward Biden, while nearly twice as many atheists, agnostics and unaffiliated voters support either Sanders or Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. Meanwhile, religiously-unaffiliated Democrats, a broad group also referred to as “nones,” expressed overwhelming support for Sanders and Warren as their favored Democratic presidential candidates....

Iron is essential for athletic performance. It is the component of hemoglobin in your red blood cells that transports oxygen to your cells and carries carbon dioxide away. The brain also relies on oxygen transport, and without enough iron, you will find it hard to concentrate and feel tired and irritable. Iron is also needed to maintain a healthy immune system. If you don’t have enough iron you may be prone to more frequent infections....

Here is how the players fared in the ISL encounter. ATK Mohun Bagan Player Ratings Arindam Bhattacharya - 5/10 Arindam Bhattacharya did not have much to do during the match, but he was called into action on a couple of occasions. In particular, he could have dealt better with a long-range shot from Cole Alexander, and his defense played a massive part in him walking away with a clean sheet....

Cam Atkinson’s goal with 2:46 left lifted the Blue Jackets to a 5-4 victory over the Panthers on Thursday night. With traffic in front of the net, Atkinson swept the puck past goalie James Reimer, who was flat on his back during the play. The Panthers challenged for goalie interference, but the goal stood. “I wanted to do whatever it takes to help this team win, and I did,” Atkinson said....

In the last meeting between the two teams on Wednesday, the Philadelphia 76ers produced a thumping 127-83 win against an Atlanta Hawks team that was without Trae Young, Bogdan Bogdanovic and De’Andre Hunter. Barring Bogdanovic, the Atlanta Hawks, who are fifth in the Eastern Conference, will miss both Young and Hunter for this game. Seth Curry top-scored for the 76ers with 20 points, while the likes of Tyrese Maxey, Shake Milton and Furkan Korkmaz all came off the bench to score in double digits....

Alabama has been on the big stage in Atlanta quite a bit. In fact, a lot of college football’s big-time events are happening in Atlanta. That’s part of what Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl president and CEO Gary Stokan envisioned for the city 20 years ago. He wanted Atlanta to be the “capital of college football.” That tie between Atlanta and Saban — which Stokan said started at the 2000 Peach Bowl with LSU and served as the groundwork for the Tigers’ 2003 national championship run — continued with Alabama at the first Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in 2008....

After Atlanta president Darren Eales picked the first pick of the expansion draft, Minnesota United sporting director Manny Lagos elected to take the first pick in this winter’s MLS draft. Atlanta, which will be coached by Gerardo “Tata” Martino, then selected the top spot in the allocation order. Minnesota United, which has an iteration currently playing in NASL, then selected priority for NASL and USL player claims, with Atlanta left with the higher waiver and re-entry draft place (21) and Minnesota closing out with getting the higher discovery ranking....

Almiron has had two stellar years with Atlanta in MLS and will lead his team against the Portland Timbers in the 2018 MLS Cup final on Saturday. His form has attracted plenty of notice, with Premier League clubs Newcastle, Arsenal and Tottenham all linked to his services. His agent, Daniel Campos, has also claimed that the midfielder is drawing interest from “two or three clubs” in England and that “certainly Almiron will play in the Premier League....

Atleti lacked the zip and creativity in the final third to unlock this Celta defence. The same could probably be said of the Celta team, except they created a couple of clear scoring opportunities, which is more than what can be said about this Atletico attack. Ruben Blanco was definitely the busier goalkeeper and made some spectacular saves but they were largely from long-range attempts or set-pieces. Had it not been for Blanco, Atletico might well have been top of the table....

The Blaugrana will be further tested as they live for three matches without striker Robert Lewandowski, who was suspended for gestures towards an official and will miss this match plus the next two. Barcelona are coming off a wild and nervy 4-3 win in the Copa del Rey over Intercity FC that required extra time to complete. Ansu Fati scored the winning goal in the 103rd minute, sending Barcelona through past a lower-tier side with stars in their eyes....

Disorders of the AV node can cause cardiac arrhythmias, in which the heart can beat either too slowly (bradycardia) or too rapidly (tachycardia). Both bradycardia or tachycardia can produce significant symptoms. What Is the AV Node? The AV node is a tiny “button” of specialized cells (roughly 3 by 5 millimeters in diameter) located near the center of the heart. It is on the right side of the atrial septum at the junction of the atria and the ventricles....

The France star blasted home from 25 yards to stretch his side’s unbeaten run against Athletic to seven matches after the home side had come from behind to take the lead at San Mames. Koke’s cross bounced beyond Griezmann and into the far corner to give the visitors a promising start, as they looked to react to victories for top two Real Madrid and Sevilla this weekend. Athletic, however, responded with a stylish equaliser from Inigo Lekue before De Marcos powered in a header in the second half to cap one of their better performances of the season....

KINGSTON (Reuters) - Reigning Commonwealth Games 400 metres hurdles champion Kaliese Spencer denied on Wednesday that she “refused or evaded a drug test” and plans to legally challenge the assertion by the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission.

ATK have suffered three defeats from six matches this season, all of them at home. The two-time former champions will hope their forward Kalu Uche is fit to start the game.

Uche had to be stretchered off in the first-half and the team not having a proper replacement was termed as “an issue” by coach Steve Coppell ....
