Chopra broke the national record with a throw of 88.06m, while China’s Liu Qizhen (82.22m) and bronze to Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem (80....

Once food has been ingested, the GI tract transports the ingested nutrients, secretes fluids and enzymes needed for digestion, absorbs nutrients from the digested products and eliminates the indigestible remains as waste. In order to better understand how each organ in the GI tract works together and how other organs from different systems of the body work with each other, it is imperative for hepatitis patients to understand where the GI tract first starts — the mouth....

It’s almost like home, these forward operating bases, known in military jargon as FOBs. (And those whose duties do not require them to leave the base are known as Fobbits.) Clearly, the ambience is no accident. Back in Washington, D.C., the Congress and White House are heatedly debating when to bring the troops home from Iraq. But a visit to one of these FOBs seems to suggest something else: the troops are digging in for a long stay....

Lewis had an exceptional second half of the season as a complete feature back. With the Steelers’ Le’Veon Bell set to be either franchise-tagged again or locked up with a lucrative, long-term contract, Lewis is by far the top back who will hit the market in March. Before last season, Lewis was viewed as more of an elusive open-field receiver and dangerous return man. That was before he emerged from a crowded New England backfield to put up 896 yards rushing on only 180 carries (5....

Both use voice modulators as a major plot point, as both feature a cast of robots who could potentially have carried out the murder....

In the first 10 minutes of last year’s enormously popular, Emmy-winning fifth season of “24,” the show’s writers killed off two principal characters and maimed a third, leaving him mostly dead until they could finish him off a few hours later.
