Medical emergencies during commercial airline travel can be a frightening experience, but most situations are well-treated by other passengers and flight attendants, in collaboration with consulting physicians on the ground. A University of Pittsburgh study published in the New England Journal...
A simple lab-based skin test which eliminates the risk of adverse reactions to new drugs, cosmetics and household chemicals has been developed by a Newcastle University, UK team. It uses real human skin and immune cells to show any reaction such as a rash or blistering indicating a wider immune...
For the first time since Forbes began tracking the value of football clubs in 2004, Manchester United are not the world's most valuable team. Coincidentally, that title has gone to the club that controversially knocked them out of the Champions League this season — Real Madrid. And though there...

When the San Francisco Giants won the World Series two years ago, Pablo Sandoval couldn't escape from Bruce Bochy's Pandahouse. Not leaving the bench in the first two games, he did see action in Game 3 — getting three at-bats, striking out once and hitting into a double play. He didn't see the...
5. Jonathan Dwyer, Pittsburgh Steelers. He's a round-ish running back in a Steelers uniform, so it's easy to compare him to Jerome Bettis, but I don't know that it can be avoided. It wasn't just that he looked like Bettis, either. The Steelers got to hand the ball to a mauler with nifty feet and...
5. Chad Henne, QB, Jacksonville Jaguars. I guess you could view Henne as an MVP if you're concerned much about Blaine Gabbert's feelings. Because after watching a half of Henne, the people of Jacksonville may better appreciate Gabbert's special brand of mediocrity, or at least prefer it to...
Typically I assume El Camino's are more valuable than Sprints. However the 1971 Sprint was the first year GMC made them and they only made 1,030 of that year. So does the rarity of this year make it more valuable than Chevy's same-year model? (assuming both are in the same condition of course)

Alex Mack, Center/Guard, Cleveland Browns. On extra point and field goal attempts, lines are packed really tightly together, so it's not uncommon for the leg of Alex Mack, who plays to the left of long snapper Ryan Pontbriand on the field...

John Fox, Head Coach, Denver Broncos. Every good coach will adapt to the talent he has (or doesn't have), but how many NFL coaches are willing to go to a completely different offense in the middle of the season -- one that's different than...

Tim Tebow, Quarterback, Denver Broncos. It's just a thought, but given what we saw in the Dolphins/Giants game Sunday, maybe last week's Broncos win was more indicative of the Dolphins inability to close than it was of a magic quarterback...

Steven Jackson, Running Back, St. Louis Rams. Watching Jack go nuts on the Saints felt really good. Remember when Steven Jackson used to have days like this pretty regularly, and it was so admirable, because the Rams so clearly had nothing...
Pretty much everyone involved in the Seahawks/Browns game. Seattle quarterback Charlie Whitehurst leads the parade, with his 12-of-30, 97-yard performance. The Seahawks were able to amass just 137 total yards on the day, and the worst thing about that is their opponent only beat them by three...
Darrelle Revis, Cornerback, New York Jets. Not only did Vincent Jackson get trapped on Revis Island, but the smoke monster there treated him like he was Mr. Eko. Jackson had just 15 yards and one catch on the day, and he's one of the toughest covers in the league. Revis is extraordinary. Not...
The prostate-specific antigen test, commonly known as the PSA test, is valuable in predicting which men should have biopsies and which are likely to be diagnosed with low-risk prostate cancer, a Mayo Clinic study has found. The findings were released during a meeting of the North Central Section...

Tom Brady, Quarterback, New England Patriots. It's not going to go in Tom Brady's scrapbook as one of his prettiest games, but when he got the ball back with 2:31 to play, needing a score, was there any doubt what was about to happen? The...

Alex Smith, Quarterback, San Francisco 49ers. This could be Frank Gore, too, as some ridiculous tackling helped him to a 127-yard rushing performance, but how many chances am I going to have to put Alex Smith on this list? 21-of-33 for 291...

Mark Sanchez and Joe Flacco, Quarterbacks, New York Jets and Baltimore Ravens. I went back and forth all night; Sanchez or Flacco, Sanchez or Flacco. In the end, I decided there was room for both. Not for the harm they did to their teams...
