Clinton suffered another wave of dispiriting losses against Sen. Barack Obama. He beat her in Virginia 64 to 35 percent, in Maryland 61 to 35 percent and in the District of Columbia 75 to 24 percent, according to incomplete returns. These trouncings give Obama a perfect 8-0 record against Clinton in the primaries and caucuses held since Super Tuesday. He walks away with most of the 171 delegates that were at stake in the Potomac Primary and moves on to next Tuesday’s contests–Wisconsin and Hawaii–with a fresh jolt of momentum....

Nathaniel Hafer, PhD, an assistant professor of molecular medicine at UMass Chan Medical School, said the variants we are now seeing may behave differently, but the part of the virus that antigen tests detect hasn’t changed. “The important thing to recognize there is that many of the mutations are in the spike protein. That’s obviously important for immune evasion and how our body can recognize and fight off the virus,” Hafer told Verywell....

While there are prescription drugs which are very helpful with these symptoms, alternative treatments have, in some cases, been shown to be helpful with several of the symptoms associated with cancer treatment. Does ginger help with chemotherapy-induced nausea? If so, what type of ginger? Should ginger be used alone or with conventional treatments? Ginger and Health Ginger has been touted for its health benefits for thousands of years and has long been used in China as a medicinal practice to reduce nausea....

Tax preparer David Stone of Santa Clarita, Calif., remembers when he’d barely see one or two home-office deductions a year. Now, roughly 40 percent of his small-business clients file them and pick up big tax savings. “Sometimes I make them take it,” he says. What makes the deduction so juicy? All those write-offs–everything from plush carpeting to built-in bookcases to a percentage of the utility bills to a portion of the home itself, which can be depreciated....

Can I Keep My Phone Number With VoIP? You have used a phone number for years and many people recognize you or your company through it, and you don’t want to abandon it for a new one. Switching to VoIP means changing phone service providers and also phone numbers. Can you still use your existing landline PSTN phone number with your new VoIP service? Will your VoIP service provider allow you to keep your existing phone number?...

I have read that having two antivirus can create problems, so I want to deactivate McAfee, without uninstalling it because it is the original and Avast is not. Please help, so that I don’t face problems.

Iacocca said he’s not interested in a full-time job. No problem: while Lee plays the public role in bringing back customers, the task of flying the carrier to profitability could rest with Gerald Greenwald. Greenwald, 57, was Chrysler’s vice chairman until 1990. And he knows plenty about airlines: after leaving Chrysler when Iacocca refused to designate a successor, he headed an unsuccessful union-backed effort to buy United Airlines. He’s also a director of the aircraft-leasing giant GPA Group-a useful connection for TWA, which urgently needs to modernize its ancient fleet....

Saturday Night Live star Davidson, 28, had been scheduled to take the flight with Jeff Bezos’ company on March 23, which would have put him in the company of previous celebrity space tourists William Shatner and Michael Strahan. However, it was announced on Blue Origin’s verified Twitter account on Thursday that a rescheduling of the flight date to later in the month has meant that Davidson can no longer be one of the six crew members....

Russell Wilson threw the third interception of his night with just over a minute left in overtime, allowing the Cardinals to set up the winning field goal, which Zane Gonzalez duly converted to give Arizona a 37-34 win. It was an unusually wayward performance from Wilson, who had last thrown multiple interceptions in a regular season game in Week 1 of the 2018 season and had been intercepted more than twice in the same game only three times in nine seasons....

In the wake of LeBron James declaring himself the “best (basketball) player in the world”, ESPN asked several athletes and coaches from different sports if James was the greatest athlete in the world. Spieth agreed he was, but threw Johnson and Cam Newton into the discussion.

Newton’s start to the season was put in doubt last week, when he suffered a foot sprain early in the team’s preseason game against the Patriots. However, the injury doesn’t appear to be too severe. Rivera told reporters Tuesday that there is “no doubt in my mind” that Newton will be ready to start. “Everything he’s been doing, everything he’s done is exactly what he needed to,” Rivera said. “And we’re at the point now where, you know, it’s just a matter of time before we start our official prep for the Rams....

The Panthers announced Monday that their quarterback has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Texans as he continues to recover from a foot injury. “What Cam needs right now is time and rest for his foot. We want him at 100 percent when he’s ready, so there’s no exact timetable for his return,” coach Ron Rivera said in a release. “At this point, we’re going to go forward with Kyle (Allen) as our starter....

PHOTOS: The star power of Cam Newton on camera The Panthers star, with his No. 1 cap and all, in a photo shared by USA Water Polo was shown using his powerful quarterbacking arm for aquatic good. The picture was taken at the USA Water Polo Training Center in Los Alamitos, Calif. We doubt the player on the receiving end of Newton’s throw had ever encountered the velocity an NFL arm can produce....

Carolina’s QB1 smoothly delivered a long ball to wide receiver Curtis Samuel, who was running free in the secondary, on Thursday. The completion, practice or not, had to look really good to a team and fan base that watched Newton struggle to throw deep during the Panthers’ second-half collapse last season. The Charlotte Observer’s Brendan Marks estimated the ball traveled 35 to 40 yards in the air. Judge for yourself:...

But then came Thursday, with chilling news of a terror plot in Great Britain, and suddenly it was clear that Lieberman would not go gently. “If we just pick up like Ned Lamont wants us to do,” he warned a campaign crowd, “get out by a date certain, it will be taken as a tremendous victory by the same people who wanted to blow up these planes.” Hawkish Joe was back: early polls showed him leading Lamont in the general election....
