This hideous story unfolds in “The Deadly Deception,” produced by Denisce DiIanni, which PBS will telecast this week on “Nova.” How, it asks, “could this experiment have happened?” In a galvanizing hour that includes interviews with survivors and scientists, it offers grim answers. These patients, says University of Wisconsin historian Dr. Vanessa Gamble, “weren’t going to question the government doctors … Who’s going to speak for them?” Certainly not some of their doctors....

“Jerusalem is the city of eternity, a city that has been reunified,” Israeli President Ezer Weizman pointedly told the pontiff just after his plane landed in Tel Aviv. By then, Palestinian officials had already floated a giant balloon decorated with a large Palestinian flag over their headquarters in the holy city. “The pope’s visit is proof of the Palestinian rights over Jerusalem,” declared PLO official Faisal Husseini. While many around him raised their voices to score points, the pope often sought out quiet places to offer prayers and to bear witness....

We’re still a few hours away from the race and plenty can change, but here are odds we’ll be updating throughout the day. Wagering on horse racing is different than traditional sports betting, where you’re up against a sportsbook or the “house” — this is parimutuel, so betting action by the players determines the actual prices, not an oddsmaker. The bettor is playing against his fellow bettors. MORE: Preakness contenders | Preakness live blog | Pimlico’s toilet runs...

Sporting News received copies of the documents and text messages through a open records request. MORE: Teague resigns | Minnesota one of eight thrilling matchups The first woman said she was seated next to Teague at a group gathering during which he was “friendly and appropriate” as the evening began. After Teague asked if the women were single, she said, she thought of a friend to set up with Teague for a future date and showed him a Facebook picture of the friend....

The study, published on September 6 in the British Medical Journal, evaluated the number of prediabetes patients developing type 2 diabetes from 2000 to 2015. Researchers found that annually, 7% of prediabetes patients went on to develop type 2 diabetes. From 2010 to 2015, researchers noticed a reduction in the number of people with prediabetes developing type 2 diabetes. “This reduced conversion from NDH [non-diabetic hyperglycemia, or prediabetes] to type 2 diabetes appears to be more indicative of a lower threshold for NDH diagnosis criteria and more people of lower diabetes risk being diagnosed, rather than an increased rate of diet and lifestyle changes reducing conversion to type 2 diabetes,” Dione Milauskas, MS, RDN, LD, a registered dietitian in Kentucky specializing in prediabetes nutrition, tells Verywell....

Some guys might downplay the experience because, y’know, they’re trying to be cool and all, but being selected by either the fans, their peers or a manager is a rewarding feeling. Some guys get there all the time; others not so much (did you know Corey Kluber didn’t make his first All-Star team until two years after he won his Cy Young award?). It’s such an imperfect selection process, but we’re not going to talk about that right now....

Nick Evans, snake rescuer and founder of KZN Amphibian & Reptile Conservation, wrote about the encounter in a Facebook post. He said that over the weekend of October 30/31, he captured four black mambas. The largest one was a pregnant female measuring 8 feet in length. He was called to a property in the KwaZulu-Natal province after a family noticed a large black mamba going under the paving of a walkway near a front door....

Along with her unborn child, Bawili, 39, was killed on Sunday while sitting in her living room around 2 a.m. The investigation into her death is still ongoing, but the family doesn’t believe Bawili was the intended target because she had “no issues with anybody in the city,” according to WDRB. Bawili reportedly arrived in America from the Democratic Republic of Congo almost six years ago. She had recently moved to Louisville from Florida....

The woman, identified by the first name Tatev, told Reuters she began to experience contractions while walking to the Los Angeles Convention Center on Thursday, when Judge Cormac J. Carney was set to naturalize around 3,200 citizens from 114 countries. She refused to go to the hospital until she was sworn in, so Carney performed an impromptu naturalization ceremony with her before the official event started. Tatev, who was scheduled to give birth to her second child by caesarean section this week, said when she returned home and rested, the contractions subsided....

Indeed they wouldn’t, and nor would most people. General Gul’s basic message is that Osama bin Laden is innocent, and that the attacks on New York and Washington were an Israeli-engineered attempt at a coup against the government of the United States. He rattled off the proof: “You must look inside. F-16s don’t scramble in time, though they had 18 minutes after the first plane hit the World Trade Center....

The 2017-18 campaign has seen the on-field referee consult with a colleague regarding key decisions in FA Cup games and the Carabao Cup final, with mixed results. Critics have pointed to the amount of time often taken to reach a decision, while the lack of communication with fans inside the stadium has also been a sticking point. Liverpool’s FA Cup fourth-round defeat at home to West Brom in January saw a number of long delays as the officials made their rulings and Reds boss Jurgen Klopp believes the process needs to be perfected before it can be introduced full-time....

A total of 17 Premier League games have already been called off and clubs are seeing more positive tests come back for staff and squad members. These are the latest updates on the developing situation around the league and the Premier League’s rules regarding COVID-19 postponements.

Ozil: I want to stay at Arsenal The 30-year-old left back signs a three-year deal with the South Coast club, joining former team-mate Pascal Gross at the Amex ahead of the 2017-18 Premier League campaign. “Markus is someone we have been aware of for some time,” Brighton boss Chris Hughton told the club website. “I am pleased we have managed to complete the transfer at this stage, and he is now able to join us for the second half of the week....

Antonio Conte’s side were in businesslike form once again at London Stadium, with Eden Hazard bolstering his case to be the PFA Player of the Year with the first goal before Diego Costa made the Blues’ lead comfortable. Chelsea have exactly what Arsenal need Manuel Lanzini pulled one back late on but did not threaten the result and Chelsea are once again 10 points clear of second-place Tottenham. But what has really changed in the standings as a result of this weekend’s action?...

The Spain international kept cool under serious pressure at Anfield, making fives saves to preserve Manchester United’s clean sheet as Liverpool peppered his goal with shots throughout. JOE GOMEZ | LIVERPOOL Another standout performer in Liverpool’s 0-0 clash with Manchester United at Anfield, Gomez made three tackles and two interceptions to preserve a clean sheet for Jurgen Klopp’s notoriously porous defence. JOEL MATIP | LIVERPOOL Another of Jurgen Klopp’s charges who can pat himself on the back following months of scrutiny, Matip recovered possession a more-than-respectable 10 times against Manchester United, more than any other Liverpool player....

But the terms “low-income” and “middle class” are subjective. To clarify, premium tax credits are normally available for people with household incomes as high as 400% of the poverty level—that amounted to $103,000 for a family of four in the Continental U.S. in 2020. But for 2021 and 2022, the American Rescue Plan has removed the upper income cap for subsidy eligibility, meaning that some households with income well above 400% of the poverty level can qualify for premium subsidies....

Tips to Make the Experience as Painless as Possible Guardians need to be aware that not all dentists are trained to work with kids on the autism spectrum. Pediatric dentists are more likely to be a good choice, but even then it’s well worth your time to ask around for recommendations, interview the dentist, and visit the practice. Questions to ask include Do you work with kids with disabilities? How do you handle children’s anxiety?...

Radiation Therapy for Breast Cancer The timing and purpose of radiation can vary depending on whether you have a lumpectomy or mastectomy. Radiation therapy after a lumpectomy usually begins several weeks after surgery, and is used to eliminate any remaining cancer cells in the breast or armpit area. Radiation therapy is done less often after a mastectomy, but may be done if positive lymph nodes are found during surgery or other reasons....
