EMA said the request comes after the agency evaluated evidence, including eight U.S. reports of serious cases of unusual blood clots associated with low blood platelets, where one case proved to be fatal, after taking the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. “Healthcare professionals and people who will receive the vaccine should be aware of the possibility of very rare cases of blood clots combined with low levels of blood platelets occurring within three weeks of vaccination,” the EMA said....

The Texans exacted revenge for their AFC wild-card loss to the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday with a 19-12 victory at NRG Stadium. The Houston defense led the way, forcing three fumbles for a little payback after the Chiefs forced five Texans turnovers in their playoff win. It was the Kansas City defense that dominated last January in a 30-0 Chiefs victory in the first round of the playoffs. Texans defensive end J....

Senior Grant Milton sustained the injury during The Woodlands High School’s playoff game Saturday. He was rushed to the hospital and needed emergency surgery. A GoFundMe page was started to help Milton’s family with medical costs, which is where Watt donated the $10,000. “If there’s anything that I can do to help, please let me know. Sending my best wishes to Grant and the entire Milton family.” Watt wrote with his donation....

On Sunday, as the rest of us battled a pandemic, racism, and police brutality, Rowling decided to take issue with a public health notice for being overly inclusive: She’d prefer the article to explicitly say “women,” even though not all women menstruate (including post-menopausal women and trans women), and not all who menstruate are women (non-binary people, trans men). Besides, anyone who can read understands the article’s target audience....

The world was very different then. Women were denied the right to vote in many states. Five months earlier, the 18th Amendment to the Constitution had outlawed the production, importation, transportation and sale of alcoholic beverages in the United States. Putting matters in perspective for sports fans, Harvard finished in the top spot that year in five college football national championship polls. Babe Ruth led the major leagues with 29 home runs....

Duncan played 25 of Newcastle’s 27 matches in his maiden campaign with the Jets, with the 24-year-old keeping two cleansheets and conceding 43 goals in his first season as a number one goalkeeper. His previous best campaign in terms of league appearances was in 2013-14 when he played six A-League games for Perth Glory. Moss swaps Phoenix for Jets In fact, Duncan had made just 10 senior appearances in his career before this season....

Nicklaus tweeted that Trump “has delivered on his promises” and will “bring the American Dream to many families across the nation who are still trying to achieve it.” MORE: Jack congratulates Tiger on Medal of Freedom The 80-year-old Golden Bear said he is willing to look past Trump’s Twitter habits — he said he has chided Trump personally about them — and focus instead on policy. “This is not a personality contest,” Nicklaus wrote....

Golf legend Jack Nicklaus can attest to that.

Robinson, the player who broke Major League Baseball’s color barrier in 1947, is featured in Trump’s commercial campaign titled “Say What You Will About America.” His image only appears for a few seconds, and his name is not mentioned within the ad itself. “We’re insulted and demand that his image be removed!” Robinson stated on Twitter. The image was taken by photographer Bob Sandberg for Look Magazine in 1954. It features Robinson in a Brooklyn Dodgers uniform....

As a law student, Judge Jackson used her law review note to argue that community notification requirements for sex offenders are unconstitutional and overly punitive. She concluded: Speaking of rhetoric, statements issued by various progressive organizations and elected officials after Judge Jackson was nominated all repeated some version of the claim that she will give “a voice to the voiceless and the vulnerable.” But just as her law review note failed to mention victims of sex crime even once, her answers to questions from Republican senators about her record on sentencing child pornography offenders were deeply unsatisfactory....

“There’s some healing that needs to happen…so I’m bringing myself to the Red Table.” Many are excited for this confessional, and want it to happen ASAP. When this “healing” will happen remains unclear. During a conversation with the The Breakfast Club co-host Angela Yee about his new album, The Product III:stateofEMERGEncy, Alsina made the major allegation, and noted how Will gave them “his blessing.” “I actually sat down with Will and had a conversation due to the transformation from their marriage to life partnership that they’ve spoken on several times,” he claimed during the interview, which he uploaded to his YouTube Channel June 30....

As Paul is going through the NBA’s health and safety protocols for a reported positive COVID-19 test, the Phoenix point guard wasn’t allowed in the building. Suns forward Jae Crowder, though, believes Paul was cheering on teammates in an interesting way: By texting brother CJ Paul, who operated as a CP3 proxy during the game, shouting game advice to Phoenix players from the sideline. “Jae Crowder told me he suspects Chris Paul was texting his brother CJ during the game because CJ was yelling out strategy points from the sideline,” ESPN’s Rachel Nichols tweeted....

According to Ryan O’Halloran of the Florida Times-Union, Marrone was seen at Everbank Field in Jacksonville.

Despite starting 2-6, Jacksonville is not only in the conversation but controls its fate in the AFC South. Part of the reason is the Titans’ rapid collapse, but another part is how quickly Trevor Lawrence has progressed under first-year coach Doug Pederson. Even if the defense is undermanned, Pederson has his team believing it can make an unexpected run just like this franchise did five years ago. A win over the Jets on Thursday night only strengthened its position....

Jacksonville punched its ticket to the postseason following a come-from-behind 19-16 win over Tennessee in the de facto AFC South Championship game last week. In the win, the Jaguars’ defense stepped up in the most pressing moments, scoring a go-ahead TD on a 37-yard fumble return by Josh Allen. On top of that, Jacksonville’s defense won on early downs and held Derrick Henry to just 3.6 yards per carry. The offense couldn’t finish drives, though, and another offensive output like the one put forth on Saturday will most likely result in a one-and-done showing for the Jags....

Tennessee enters Saturday’s winner-take-all game on a six-game losing skid, most recently falling to the Cowboys 27-13. Their Week 17 matchup was more of a dress rehearsal for QB Josh Dobbs, who will make his second straight start with the Titans in need of a stable signal-caller following Ryan Tannehill’s ankle injury. Tennessee opted to rest a fair amount of their starters, most notably bell-cow RB Derrick Henry (hip). Assuming he’s healthy, Henry is likely to receive a massive workload with the Titans’ season on the line given he rushed for 121 yards on 7....

Okafor, the 6-10 big man from Whitney Young High in Chicago that many believe is the No. 1 player in the class of 2014, cut down his list of schools in late May to eight: Arizona, Baylor, Duke, Illinois, Kentucky, Kansas, Michigan State and Ohio State. RECRUITING CENTRAL: News and analysis on the best players from class of 2014 Okafor has said that he and Jones will be playing together as collegians, and Okafor’s AAU coach, Mike Irvin, believed that a likely destination is Duke, based on the amount of effort coach Mike Krzyzewski has put into recruiting the Chicago star....
