Appearing on PBS NewsHour, McConnell was asked about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s recent decision to require masks on the House floor and if he would consider doing the same in the Senate. “It appears not to be necessary since everybody seems to be doing it,” McConnell said. He also noted that the Senate has “had good luck without a requirement,” as many members have been wearing masks voluntarily. “I believe just about every one of my members is wearing a mask, and we have since the first of May when we resumed,” McConnell said....

The number is a new record for the restaurant, which previously stood at 15 people in a row, reports the Journal Times. “McDonald’s is proud to support its local communities. We are honored by this record-breaking act of kindness that took place in our Union Grove drive thru and humbled that so many individuals came together to keep it going,” Rafael Luciano, McDonald’s owner operator, told Newsweek. The Union Grove McDonald’s serves around 900 customers a day, with just one of those choosing to pay it forward every day....

The chain had pulled its plastic straws in September last year and vowed to use paper ones in all its 1,361 branches across the U.K. and Ireland. The chain used 1.8 million plastic straws a day and insisted when it introduced paper straws that they there were “100 percent recyclable.” But many customers complained the paper straws made it harder to drink milkshakes and dissolved before a drink could be finished, the BBC reported....

A normal MCHC value on a CBC is typically between 32 to 36 grams per deciliter (g/dL) or 320 to 360 grams per liter (g/L). A higher or lower than normal MCHC value may indicate that you have a type of anemia, which means you have a low red blood cell count, but your healthcare provider may order more diagnostic tests to be sure. Learn about MCHC, including its importance and what may cause a high or low MCHC value....

Having been snapped up from Roma for just £36.9 million ($50m) in the summer of 2017, the Reds were considered to have secured themselves quite the bargain. Few, however, could have predicted that Salah would make quite such an impact during his maiden campaign at Anfield. Now the PFA Player of the Year, FWA Football of the Year, Golden Boot and Golden Shoe contender, Champions League finalist and potential Ballon d’Or winner, the 25-year-old has far exceeded all expectations....

With Earnhardt, a five-time winner at Talladega, maneuvering behind him, McMurray thought he was a sitting duck. And then Austin Dillon, Earnhardt's drafting partner, suddenly lost control of his car and went sailing through the air. When the caution flag flew on the final lap, McMurray knew he was home free and the winner of the Camping World RV Sales 500. "I don’t know how the last lap would have played out," McMurray said....

However, the company’s press release about the “tour” hinted that the sandwich, which typically appears around this time every year, won’t necessarily be gone for good. Instead, the nationwide availability of the McRib, which begins October 31, will be the last time for the foreseeable future that it will be offered on a set schedule across the country. In other words, McRib devotees can hold out hope that they will again find the sandwich someday in limited availability....

Rather than the usual highlights or around-the-league discussion at halftime of FS1’s broadcast of Atlanta United’s match against the New York Red Bulls on Sunday, the network took on the newly announced U.S. Soccer policy mandating its players stand for the national anthem. From there, though, Fox let its viewers down. Analyst Alexi Lalas was given 67 seconds to deliver his opinion on the matter, and he did so with aplomb....

Being an NFL TV analyst must be like being a political analyst on Election Night. You’re only as good as your last prediction. There’s always a chance you’ll look foolish on national TV. That’s what happened to Terry Bradshaw of Fox Sports with Johnny Manziel, who led the Browns to a 24-10 win over the 49ers Sunday. Unfortunately for Bradshaw, he picked Week 14 to ringingly declare he was “done” with Manziel, the former Heisman Trophy winner from Texas A&M....

Officials with the FDA said in a recent statement that the agency received reports involving dogs that were exposed to fluorouracil, and all the dogs died. “If your medicine contains fluorouracil, immediately move it somewhere out of reach of your pets and keep them from licking your skin where you’ve applied the medicine,” the release said. Pet owners are encouraged to monitor their pets and what they ingest as many foods and objects can be deadly....

Seven installments offer a million opportunities to go wrong. Bad casting. Lame special effects. Fame. Greed. Puberty. Heyman has so far managed to avoid it all. (OK, not puberty.) “I wish I could tell you it was all some great master plan,” he says. One important step: a promise he has kept for a decade. Heyman was the only serious bidder for the rights to Rowling’s book, and though he had little clout at Warner Bros....

“Today, FIFA is undergoing a profound crisis,” the South Korean said at a news conference in Paris on Monday. “Under these circumstances, the FIFA president must be a crisis manager and a reformer. FIFA needs a leader who can bring back common sense, transparency and accountability. For any successful organization to be free of corruption, it needs periodic change of leadership.” MORE: Replacements for Blatter | World Cup winners | International soccer rivalries...

That’s good news for the NBA as its leading men suck up all the oxygen in the sports media room — and bad news for the other sports leagues, which are being largely ignored as media talk all things NBA. MORE: When politics and sports mix The NFL is and will remain the clear No. 1 in the U.S. sporting world, but turn on ESPN’s “First Take” or Fox Sports 1’s “Speak for Yourself” and they’re still talking about James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Dwyane Wade and other stars nearly a month after the season ended....

“To her readers,” said NEWSWEEK Chairman and Editor-in-Chief Richard M. Smith, “she was an incomparable guide to the mysterious ways of Washington and our national political life. To many of us at NEWSWEEK, she was simply a wise, warm, witty and wonderful friend.” In Washington, Greenfield was a special presence. Her gift for fun and friendship, mingled with a supreme talent for conversation, helped lubricate the sandy gears of the capital with a civility that it has increasingly lacked....
