In a 10-4 vote, with one abstention, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended that the vaccine again be approved for all adults, deciding that the benefits outweighed the risks.The panel suggested that a warning label should be added to warn consumers of the rare blot clotting disorder that caused the single-dose vaccine to be temporarily suspended on April 13. “We need as many people to be vaccinated as possible in order to reach community immunity and put the pandemic behind us,” ACIP member Henry Bernstein, a Zucker School of Medicine pediatrics professor, said during the meeting, according to ARS Technica....

PSG have no chance of Coutinho The 20-year-old midfielder starred as part of the Spain team that reached the final of the European Under-21 Championship in Poland last month, where he was named player of the tournament. Ceballos was also linked to Barcelona but Madrid appear to have beaten their rivals to get their man, with Haro confirming his club are in talks with the La Liga champions to bring the transfer to a conclusion....

The Gunners went ahead through Alex Iwobi after only three minutes, but the match swung Rennes’ way when Benjamin Bourigeaud levelled after Sokratis Papastathopoulos got a second yellow card 41 minutes in. An own goal from Nacho Monreal put the home side ahead at Roazhon Park, before Ismaila Sarr headed home in the 88th minute to give the Ligue 1 side a solid advantage in the last-16 tie. And Cech concedes Arsenal will be up against it if they want to turn things around....

Cyborg has two fights left on her UFC contract, and she’s stated on numerous occasions that she intends on transitioning to boxing and wants to face Breakhus. She made those intentions clear when she attended the fight 18 days ago. MORE: SN pound-for-pound rankings — There’s a new P4P king Cyborg’s never competed in an amateur or professional boxing, but told Yahoo Sports that she would need four-to-six months of boxing training to be ready for Braekhus....

As previously reported, a scene in the upcoming mockumentary, which has the full title Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, has a scene that shows Giuliani lying on a bed in a hotel room, lying on the bed, and reaching into his pants with Borat’s 15 year-old daughter Tutar (played by Maria Bakalova, who is 24), who is posing as a journalist for a conservative outlet....

New York Attorney General Letitia James announced Friday that Batali, Bastianich and their management company will pay $600,000 to at least 20 former employees who were sexually harassed while working at their Manhattan restaurants Babbo, Lupa and the now-closed Del Posto. They will also have to revise all training materials in their restaurants and submit reports to the attorney general’s office every six months to certify that they are complying with the settlement agreement....

In fact, a recent ESPN report points out at one point Irving may have been part of the solution for Boston. According to ESPN’s Jackie MacMullan, there were a number of situations where the six-time All Star tried to mend the issues facing the team, including early in the season when he encouraged teammates to share the ball and pass more often. MacMullan even enlisted former Cedric Maxwell, who now serves as the team’s radio analyst, to highlight the other problems facing the Celtics....

Lawson, a former WNBA star who has served as an analyst for ESPN and the Wizards, has received interest for on-court coaching opportunities in the past but didn’t act on them. ESPN reported, citing unidentified sources, that she couldn’t turn down the opportunity to coach with Brad Stevens. She will fill the role left by Micah Shrewsberry, who accepted an assistant coaching job at Purdue this summer. Lawson, 38, played at Tennessee where she helped the Lady Volunteers make it to the Final Four three times before she was drafted fifth overall in 2003....

MORE: Greatest Celtics ever | Stevens goes from ‘clueless’ to coaching elite | Latest NBA mock draft Assets One of the surprises of the second half of this season was just how well the Celtics played, considering they’d undergone a player dump in the first three months of the year and sure appeared to be in asset-collection mode. Thus, the first asset listed should be coach Brad Stevens, who got his sea legs in his second season and was able to get players to buy into his style of play....

Boston maintained their unbeaten run with a 110-99 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday. The Celtics erased a 16-point deficit as Boston now enjoy their fight-longest winning streak, four behind the 2008-09 team. Jaylen Brown had a career-high 27 points for the Celtics, while the Hawks were led by Dennis Schroder’s 23 points. The Warriors rallied to beat the 76ers 124-116 after conceding 47 first-quarter points. Two-time MVP Stephen Curry scored 20 points on his own in the third quarter which was more than the 76ers could score as a team (15)....

One document is called the PDB, the President’s Daily Brief. The congressional report contains details of PDBs provided to Bush (and top national- security aides) prior to 9-11. The PDBs included warnings about possible attacks by Al Qaeda. (One PDB was given at the presidential ranch in Crawford, Texas, on Aug. 6, and dealt with the possibility that Al Qaeda might hijack airplanes.) But an administration review committee overseen by CIA Director George Tenet has refused to declassify anything that even refers to the existence of PDBs–though they are described on the CIA’s own Web site (www....

Markram made a flawless 152 before the beleaguered Australians fought back with four late strikes as South Africa finished on 313 for six on the best batting pitch of a series which South Africa lead 2-1. Markram, though, was the star on a day when players and spectators alike seemed to have tried to move on from the controversy and bad feeling which resulted in three Australian players, including sacked captain Steve Smith, being banned and banished for ball-tampering in the third Test at Cape Town last weekend....

The study emphasized the widening gulf between compensation given to employees and CEOs at the country’s top firms. While inflation-adjusted CEO compensation has risen 940 percent since 1978, worker compensation had only increased 11.9 percent, the report said. Its findings highlight the decades-long bifurcation of CEO and employee pay, which in 1965 was at a much lower ratio of 20-1. The analysis included figures for compensation when stock options were immediately realized and when they were granted....

You would need a big table, and it’s an almost-impossible task to limit that reservation to just 10 monuments to the sport. Sporting News tried anyway. We conducted a poll of 54 voters — comprised of former players and media members from across the country — and asked for their top 10 players of all time. Players were given points from 10-1 based on that vote (first place received 10 points, 10th place received one)....

Coach Shankarlal Chakraborty made three changes in the Bagan starting XI from the previous game. Azharuddin Mullick and Shilton Paul came back replacing Nikhil Kadam and Shibin Lal. Thanks to his goal in the last match against Railway FC, Shilton D’Silva got his maiden start for the team in place of Surchandra Singh. The Mariners looked confident in their approach from the very beginning of the match. They dominated proceedings but conceded the first goal in the 14th minute against the run of play....

Trailing 2-0 after the first three batters of the game, Chacin threw seven solid innings and Hernan Perez homered among his three hits, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a 7-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Thursday night in a matchup of first-place teams. NL Central Division-leading Milwaukee won its fourth game in a row to go 17 games over .500 (52-35) for the first time since July 1, 2014, when the Brewers were 51-34....

The Rexburg Police Department confirmed the discovery of the human remains via a press release obtained by Fox 10 News reporter Justin Lum. The police did not confirm any other information about the remains, just that “autopsy results are pending” and that they were working to notify family members once the remains have been properly identified. In another tweet, Lum shared two criminal complaints filed by the state of Idaho against Daybell, in which he is charged with two counts of “destruction, alteration or concealment of evidence....

Mahomes couldn’t allay those worries even by staying on the field, albeit with a heavy limp. Though it was clear he didn’t want to leave the game, it became necessary for trainers to diagnose and treat him before he could return to play (which he did, in the second half). What nearly spelled disaster for Kansas City turned into a surprising moment for backup Chad Henne: The veteran quarterback entered in the final minutes of the first half and led a touchdown drive for Kansas City before halftime, completing 5 of 7 passes for 23 yards and a touchdown to tight end Travis Kelce....
