For me, Thursday represented two big steps. Giant steps. Long-, long-awaited steps. After dropping our kiddo off at daycare, I drove a couple hours down Interstate 44. At a drive-thru vaccination site on a Phelps Health Center parking lot in Rolla, Mo., I got my second dose of the Pfizer vaccine at 9:53 a.m. MORE: O’s Trey Mancini, who beat cancer, receives standing ovation in return to Camden Yards...

During a meeting with energy officials, Putin said that approving the pipeline could help shave down high European energy prices and help even out the markets. “This new additional route will certainly help stabilize prices on the European markets,” Putin said. “It would undoubtedly impact prices on the spot market, and consumers in the countries that use the Russian gas will immediately feel it.” Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak also argued last week that the delays in approving Nord Stream 2 were depriving Europe of additional gas supplies, Reuters reported....

The commentary, published Thursday by the official Korean Central News Agency, did not specify exactly what remarks it was responding to, but referred to comments made “some time ago” and when he “dared to slander the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK,” an acronym for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, North Korea’s official name. The outlet added that the legislator’s “mud-slinging is a politically-motivated provocation to the DPRK as it represented the perspective of the conservative lawmakers on the DPRK, not just his own personal view....

The National Weather Service (NWS) issued tornado warnings in Lorain, Medina, Summit, Stark, and Wayne counties after the NWS radar indicated rotation in the clouds. According to the NWS radar, the storms reportedly caused winds gusts up to 70 miles per hour and some areas experienced large hail. According to the NWS, at around 10 p.m. on Tuesday, severe thunderstorms moved through Ottawa, Lucas, Wood, Erie, and Sandusky counties, with reports of wind gusts of 60 miles per hour and ping pong-sized hail....

The company, officially known as Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings or NCLH, says it plans to restart cruises from Florida ports on Aug. 15, but would not be able to sail from Florida unless a judge reverses the law. Norwegian requires all passengers to be vaccinated. “The result would be a devastating, unrecoverable loss for everyone—not only for NCLH’s business but also for tens of thousands of passengers, employees, and stakeholders who all benefit from NCLH resuming safe operations as planned,” the lawsuit says....

Now if you’re looking for someone to fix the one thing that has gutted Florida’s football program since Tim Tebow left Gainesville after the 2009 season, then McElwain might be the sexiest, splashiest move the Gators could have made.

A week after beating No. 1 Clemson, the second-ranked Irish shook off upset-minded Boston College 45-31 on Saturday with the help of 21 second-quarter points. The result is further proof Notre Dame (8-0, 7-0 ACC) is built like a College Football Playoff team — and perhaps a national championship contender. Last week’s 47-40 double-overtime thriller against Clemson wasn’t a fluke. Neither was the response to that victory. MORE: Indiana’s B1G opportunity...

The third-seeded Fighting Irish came into this game as the favorites, but they didn’t cruise to victory. The Huskies gave them everything they had, but it just wasn’t enough.

Salmon? As psychiatric regimens go, it may sound fishy. But in a new book called “The Omega-3 Connection,” Stoll argues that fish oils–with their high content of polyunsaturated, omega-3 fatty acids–may help a range of psychiatric disorders. The brain is an astonishing 60 percent fat, and it needs omega-3s to function properly. In the last century, however, Americans have drastically reduced their intake of these oils, as we moved to diets based on processed foods....

Much of the world is locked down, isolated in households and communities, renewing and deploying the age-old and time-tested techniques of personal, social, surface and environmental hygiene, which all depend on the availability of clean water—an essential resource often scant where it is needed most. In Africa, the virus has spread to dozens of countries within weeks. Governments and health authorities across the continent are striving to limit widespread infections....

He has been on the butt end of any number of basketball epithets — ballhog, chucker, black hole — but perhaps that has not been his fault. Perhaps he has been a dime-dropping playmaker all this time, merely trapped in the body of a guy plenty capable of a 5-for-17 shooting night. “I feel that I’m a point guard,” Crawford said Monday night. “That’s other people that listed me at shooting guard....

Music Business Worldwide reports that the feature will incorporate Spotify’s “Brand New Music for You” pop-up ad, which informs users of new releases based on their listening habits. The music streaming service will only allow record labels to ping frequent listeners or fans who have followed an artist. Premium users will be able to disable notifications. In a press release about the service, Spotify advertised, “We will let artist teams pay to sponsor these recommendations, giving them power to tell their listeners on Spotify—across both our Free and Premium tiers—about their latest release....

The National Security Council (NSC) issued a statement confirming that the texts suggesting that President Donald Trump will enforce a two-week period of national quarantine within the next 72 hours after evoking the Stafford Act are a hoax. “There is no national lockdown,” the NSC tweeted. “The Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] has and will continue to post the latest guidance on COVID-19.” The message, which claims to be from someone’s “friend in the military,” advises people to stock up on two weeks worth of supplies and to forward the text onto other people to warn them too....
