Jackson Olson had the full support of his girlfriend, Maggie Sajak, for his Dancing With the Stars debut. Olson, 28, kicked off the Tuesday, September 15, premiere with a Savannah Bananas-themed cha-cha to “Wannabe” by the Spice Girls alongside pro partner Emma Slater. At the end of the duo’s high-energy routine, the cameras cut to Sajak, 31, in the front row. Olson, who scored a 15 out of 30 for the number, has been dating the Wheel of Fortune correspondent since April. “It’s really cool because we’re obviously living very different lives right now on the opposite side of the…

Yves here. If headlines are any guide, it seems the epic and sustained heat over the summer and in part of the US shook a lot of the general public out of its climate complacency. Nevertheless, some may be looking for silver linings where they can be found. One is that this year’s super El Nino is expected to reduce Atlantic hurricanes. Jeff Masters warns that this year’s break is not likely to continue. By Jeff Masters, Ph.D., who worked as a hurricane scientist with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters and later founded Weather Underground, where he served as its chief…

The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee launched an investigation into Donald Trump Jr.’s relationship with a Russian oligarch who paid for much of Trump Jr.’s wedding earlier this year. Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., sent two letters on Monday to the White House and Trump Jr. requesting records related to Trump Jr.’s financial relationship with the oligarch, Umar Kremlev. “The secretive, close relationship between the son of a sitting U.S. President and a member of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s inner circle raises serious national security and public corruption concerns,” Garcia wrote.

Towards the end of Lanterns’ fifth episode, I had to double-check with myself that this wasn’t the finale of the first season. It probably easily could have been, but nope, we have three more episodes to go. But until then, we got a very action-heavy episode that wrapped up quite a lot of plot points in the 2016 plotline.

Unfortunately for him, the car sparked and exploded…

I’m going to keep doing my job —…

Missed tackles are always a little bit tough to diagnose. Did the defender mess up? Did the offensive player create the missed tackle? A lot of times it’s a little bit of both. Whatever the cause, on Monday night in Kansas City, missed tackles were the primary reason the Chiefs blew the doors off the Denver Broncos. The guys creating those missed tackles were predominantly the Chiefs’ two new running backs, Kenneth Walker and Emmett Johnson.Walker was a revelation early and often in this game. His 60.9% tackle avoid rate was second in Week 1, trailing only Bucky Irving. His…

WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Administration is opening applications for a pilot program designed to shorten the amount of time it takes for drugmakers to begin testing their products in humans, the agency announced Tuesday.  The pilot was first announced in June as part of Operation TrialBlazer, the Department of Health and Human Services initiative that pledged to shorten the FDA’s drug approval timelines and help the U.S. compete with the rapidly accelerating biotechnology industries in countries like China and Australia. STAT Plus: FDA to lower number of trials required for approval of drugs, other medical products “Too often, the…
