Fluctuating levels of hormones are normal among this age group, but they can lead to some challenges even for seasoned parents. Symptoms of strep throat include a sore throat, fever, headache, swollen glands in the neck, and sometimes white patches in the throat. These can also be symptoms of viral infections, though, so it’s important to see a healthcare provider if you think you might have strep. They can do an exam and swab the throat to test for the bacterium causing strep throat....

Hubbard, who will take part in the women’s +90kg category, has attracted criticism from Australian weightlifting chief Mike Keelan, who believes she has an unfair advantage. But Games chief executive David Grevemberg said: “It’s very, very clear that Laurel is eligible to compete as a woman in accordance with the existing rules and we respect that right for her to compete.” He added: “We’re fully supportive of athletes who are eligible to compete and this is an athlete who has competed in other International Weightlifting Federation competitions and we look forward to the success of all athletes competing....

Among them were Commonwealth Games gold medallists Sathish Kumar Sivalingam, Ragala Venkat Rahul and Punam Yadav and 2012 London Olympics bronze medallist Gagan Narang. In Gold Coast, earlier in April, Sathish bagged the gold medal in Men’s 77kg with a lift of 313kg. It wasn’t anywhere near his best but it was enough to guarantee a second CWG gold medal. Rahul bettered his silver-winning performance at Glasgow as he bagged the gold in Men’s 85kg with a lift of 338kg....

While the country is nearly two months into administering vaccines, a Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) poll conducted between January 11 and 18 among 1,563 adults found the majority of participants are confused about the process: 60% said they did not have enough information about when people like them will be able to get the vaccine. 55% said they didn’t have enough information about where they will be able to get the vaccine (60% Black and Latino respondents; 50% of White respondents)....

While the near-record number of open jobs has held steady, data shows that hiring slowed in the past two months. A Labor Department report released earlier in October showed that the unemployment rate fell from 5.2 percent to 4.8 percent last month. The change was due in part to more Americans finding jobs, but also because 180,000 fewer people searched for positions in September, meaning that they weren’t considered unemployed, AP reported....

For Dowling, desperate times call for desperate measures. In a significant departure from Vatican teaching, he recently became one of the first Catholic bishops to call for the church to lift its ban on condoms so that they could be used in the “fight for life” against a pandemic that has infected 4.7 million South Africans. Not surprisingly, Dowling’s stance has ignited controversy among the region’s Catholics. The debate will come to a head next Tuesday, when church leaders meet at a plenary session of the Southern African Catholic Bishops Conference (SACBC) in Pretoria....

Yes, he's been strong this year, but remember how bad he was last year at Richmond, where it was alleged that David Gilliland gave up some spots on the track just so Logano could finish well enough to make the Chase? The allegation never was proven but there was no doubt that Logano struggled to a 22nd-place finish and barely made the Chase. Logano had never won a short-track Cup event until Saturday night and he was able to go from fourth to first in the final nine laps, as Matt Kenseth, Brad Keselowski and Jeff Gordon tusseled ahead of him....

Paraguay are on a high having entered the Round of 16 with an all-win record. They have an impressive tally of scoring 10 goals in the three round robin matches, making it crystal clear that the South Americans have a potent strike force. If their mental toughness was on display in the come- from-behind win against New Zealand, Paraguay have been ruthless against Turkey and Mali in the first round....

When Olson was reported missing on Thursday, police were told that the 6-year-old was taken by another individual. However, the last time he was seen by anyone outside his family was on April 30, the last day he attended school, according to Houston police. “It’s cause for concern,” Kese Smith, a public information officer for the Houston Police Department, told Newsweek when asked about the lapse in time from when he was last seen at school and the last time family members say they saw him....

Depending on the exact issues involved, someone with CAKUT might have a condition that only causes symptoms later in life. On the other hand, a more serious problem could cause a life-threatening issue from infancy. Although many people are more familiar with other kinds of congenital abnormalities (like congenital heart issues), congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract are the most common kind of congenital birth defect, affecting roughly 1 in 500 babies born....

A severe diaphragmatic hernia can allow an entire organ or organs to slip in to the chest, through the hole or defect. In most cases, a diaphragmatic hernia is an emergency, requiring immediate surgical treatment. This is because the heart and lungs have difficulty filling and providing the body with oxygen because of the crowding of the chest cavity. A newborn with this type of hernia may have lips that appear bluish, due to a lack of oxygen....

The meeting between the No. 24 ranked Aggies and the Crimson Tide is one of the four top-25 ranked matchups of the weekend, but is also the more lopsided of the quartet....

Once again, the top five teams remained intact after a mostly uneventful weekend: No. 1 Alabama, No. 2 Notre Dame, No. 3 Clemson, No. 4 Ohio State and No. 5 Texas A&M. Florida, who remained steady as the second team out heading into Week 15, suffered a stunning upset against LSU, giving the Gators their second loss and likely ending any Playoff hopes they might have had. That said, they only fell one spot in the rankings, setting up the potential for a play-in upset over the Crimson Tide....

The Horned Frogs in particular face a precarious situation ahead of the final three weeks of the regular season. Any loss by TCU could spell the end of its CFP hopes, which are kept alive by its status as a potentially undefeated Power 5 conference champion. Tennessee followed TCU at No. 5 overall; the Volunteers have perhaps the easiest path to the Playoff, needing only wins over South Carolina and Vanderbilt in their final two games to head into conference championship weekend with an 11-1 record....
