Mid-treatment Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography in Human Papillomavirus-related Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Treated with Primary Radiotherapy: Nodal Metabolic Response Rate can Predict Treatment Outcomes
Highlights • Latent and atypical distant failure pattern seen more commonly in HPV+OPC patients. • Nodal metabolic response in third week of radiotherapy predicts better locoregional control. • However, it is inversely associated with a higher risk of distant metastatic failure. • FDG PET in third week of radiotherapy may have a role in individualised adaptive therapy. • Unique tumour biology and radiation-induced immunogenicity to HPV+OPC.

After the Las Vegas Shooting, the Nation Moved On. Many Survivors Did Not.
The clatter of dishes as they’re being washed still puts Janie Scott in a tailspin. Her anxiety goes up, her heart starts pounding, and she has to leave the kitchen because the clink of metal reminds her of the sound the bullets made as they hit the festival ground pavement around her. Oct.
Después de la masacre en La Vegas, el país siguió adelante. Muchos de sobrevivientes no han podido
El sonido de los cubiertos al lavar aun asusta a Janie Scott. Aumenta su ansiedad, el corazón late más rápido y sale de la cocina porque el sonido de unos metales chocando contra otros le recuerda el sonido de las balas cuando chocaban contra el suelo a su alrededor mientras estaba en el festival.

Coreia do Norte está acionando um reator, o que poderá atrapalhar as conversas com Trump
Se o presidente Donald Trump realmente se encontrar com Kim Jong Un nos próximos meses, o que muitas autoridades americanas duvidam que aconteça, seu desafio será muito maior do que apenas convencer a Coreia do Norte a desistir de suas armas nucleares. Trump também deverá fazer Pyongyang abandonar suas fábricas, reatores e instalações de enriquecimento nuclear que produzem o combustível nuclear necessário para construir mais armas.
North Korea Is Firing Up a New Reactor. It Could Complicate the Trump-Kim Talks.
The satellite image above shows a new North Korean reactor that appears to be coming online now, after years of construction, according to analysts. It sits in the Yongbyon nuclear complex, where the North began its nuclear program in the 1960s. Today, the site boasts hundreds of buildings that lie along a loop of the Kuryong River and cover an area of more than three square miles.

How Jamie Anderson Won Her Second Straight Olympic Gold in Slopestyle
On a day filled with gusty winds and hazardous conditions, Anderson used her roll-with-it mind-set honed through years of yoga, to survive. The weather kept Anderson from executing her dream run, but she still scored nearly 7 points ahead of the silver medalist. “I felt really strong winds as soon as I dropped in and knew I kind of had to go with it and hope for the best,” she said. Her second jump was her most challenging one.
Where the Port Authority Subway Explosion Happened
An explosion occurred in the underground passageway connecting the Times Square and Port Authority subway stations in Manhattan on Monday morning, temporarily shutting down one of the busiest transit hubs in New York City during rush hour, according to the police. The suspect in the explosion, Akayed Ullah, 27, was wearing an “improvised low-tech explosive device,” said James P. O’Neill, the New York City police commissioner.
Millions Pay the Obamacare Penalty Instead of Buying Insurance. Who Are They?

How a Trump Adviser Repeatedly Sought a Meeting With Russia
Court documents released on Monday show how an adviser to Donald J. Trump’s presidential campaign, George Papadopoulos, repeatedly sought to set up a meeting between the Russian government and Mr. Trump and his campaign officials. Mr. Papadopoulos contacted the campaign at least 11 times from March to June 2016 about a potential meeting.
As Wildfires Burn in West, Ash Rides Wind High Across U.S.
Wildfires in the Pacific Northwest this summer gave rise to dangerous air quality throughout the region, and generated plumes of smoke that spread across vast swaths of North America. In July, a high-pressure system settled over the West, causing a widespread heat wave. It trapped smoke from wildfires like a lid, leaving communities with low visibility and ash-filled air. Smoke billowed into the atmosphere and traveled eastward, cutting a path across the Midwest.
Where Harvey Hit Hardest Up and Down the Texas Coast
More than 150,000 properties in Texas have been affected by Hurricane Harvey, based on preliminary estimates by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Though most of the damage is in Houston and other parts of Harris County, more than 55,000 properties in other towns were also affected by the storm. Rockport was directly in the path of Harvey as the storm made landfall on August 25. Mayor Charles J.

An Array of Legal Challenges Have Stopped Four of the Eight Planned Executions in Arkansas
While one of the eight inmates scheduled to be executed this month in Arkansas was put to death last night as planned, four others, highlighted in bold below, have had their executions effectively stopped as a result of multiple lawsuits filed by the eight men in recent weeks. The suits relied on a variety of legal theories, and in some cases were filed by a single inmate, while others were filed by more than one of the inmates. ?
The Legal Battle Over Arkansas’ Plan to Execute Seven Men in 10 Days
Arkansas has scheduled executions of seven inmates in quick succession because the state’s supply of midazolam, one of the drugs used in its procedure, is set to expire at the end of April. Hearings end on Thursday in a lawsuit arguing that the pace of the executions and the use of midazolam are unconstitutional. A decision is expected before the first scheduled execution on Monday.
Mapping the Targets of the American Military Attack on Syria
On Thursday, the United States launched an attack on Al Shayrat airfield in Syria. President Trump said the airbase was targeted for its role in a chemical weapons attack on the town of Khan Sheikhoun that killed more than 80 civilians two days earlier. A total of 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched from two Navy warships in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. The missiles were aimed at Syrian fighter jets and other infrastructure, but did not target any areas that might have chemical weapons.
The Interpreter
French Presidential candidate Marine Le Pen at a rally in Saint-Raphaël last week. Dmitry Kostyukov for The New York Times What Do We Mean by ‘Populism,’ Anyway? After Wednesday’s newsletter, our inboxes were flooded with questions about populism. Reader Felipe B., for instance, asked whether it was reasonable to put the Philippines’ Rodrigo Duterte, France’s Marine Le Pen and America’s President Trump into the same “populist” basket. It’s a good question.
When Blizzards Go Bust: How Recent Snow Forecasts Have Fared
When the piles of snow predicted for New York City failed to materialize on Tuesday, it wasn’t the first time. Since 2008, five of the six largest snow forecasts for Central Park overestimated the snowfall by more than four inches — and one by more than 16. In a statement on Wednesday, the National Weather Service explained that warm air entered the developing storm, changing snow to sleet and rain, and resulting in lower snowfall accumulation.
Muslim Refugees Were Admitted at a Lower Rate During Trump’s Refugee Ban
During the week when President Trump’s refugee ban was in effect, refugees were allowed in on a case-by-case basis. Just 15 percent of the 843 refugees who were admitted during this time were Muslim, compared with a weekly average of 45 percent in 2016. Only two refugees were allowed in from the seven Muslim-majority countries affected by President Trump’s travel ban. About 1,800 refugees from these countries had arrived in the United States every week on average since 2016.
How Beyoncé Could Make Grammy History Tonight
Note: The first and second Grammy Awards were both held in 1959. Awards from the second ceremony are shown in 1960. Beyoncé has received 62 Grammy nominations in her career, more than any other female artist. With 20 wins under her belt, and nine nominations this year, she could become the most awarded female artist ever if she wins eight awards at tonight’s ceremony. Country singer Alison Krauss currently holds the record with 27 awards.
ISIS Attacks Outside Its Self-Proclaimed Caliphate
While the Islamic State claimed responsibility for the deadly attack outside the British Parliament, it is too early to say what level of contact, if any, the attacker had with the group’s operatives. More than 40 attacks have occurred since September 2014 outside of the Islamic State’s self-proclaimed caliphate* that have been claimed by the group. Counterterrorism officials have divided these attacks into three broad categories: directed, enabled and inspired.

Column: 10 percent of Florida adults are ineligible to vote. Why?
One of every 40 American adults cannot vote in November's election because of state laws that bar people with felony convictions from casting ballots. Experts say racial disparities in sentencing have had a disproportionate effect on the voting rights of blacks and Hispanics. A report by the Sentencing Project, a nonprofit organization focused on criminal justice reform, estimates that 6.1 million Americans will not be allowed to vote next month because of these laws.

Nick Kyrgios’s Explosive Forehand
Nick Kyrgios of Australia delivers one of the most explosive forehands in the modern game. He begins by pointing the tip of the racket toward his opponent. He rotates his arm back, stretching his shoulder muscles as far as possible. Like other top modern players, he turns his shoulders well past perpendicular to the net. Winding his torso results in remarkable body rotation towards the ball.
Russian Doctor Explains How He Helped Beat Doping Tests at the Sochi Olympics
Security was tight at the Sochi antidoping laboratory during the day. But it lapsed at night, when tainted urine samples were swapped. Grigory Rodchenkov, the antidoping laboratory director, said that each night a sports official sent him a list of athletes whose samples needed to be swapped. Athletes also sent photos of their doping control forms to help identify which urine sample were theirs. Upon receiving a signal, usually after midnight, Dr. Rodchenkov went to Room 124.
How the Rest of the Delegate Race Could Unfold
Here are some ways the Republican and Democratic nominating contests could unfold. Adjust the sliders to see how the outcomes can change. Each line in the charts represents one possible outcome. Including his win in Indiana tonight, Donald J. Trump has won 26 out of the 44 contests so far, and we estimate that he’ll end up with 1,013 delegates when the night is done. Ted Cruz’s departure from the race leaves a bloc of voters that could go to Mr. Trump or John Kasich.

As Doors Close, Syrian Refugees Despair
As the crisis worsened this summer, some wealthy nations took steps to accommodate more refugees, but those efforts have not met the need. The United States said it would increase the number of refugees it would take annually to 100,000 from 70,000, but that change would only happen in 2017. Germany has already received more than 570,000 migrants this year, many of them Syrian, but that is far fewer than the number in Syria’s neighboring countries.
Trump Remains Center Stage at 2nd G.O.P. Debate
As in the last debate, Donald J. Trump had more speaking time than any other candidate. Efforts by the moderators to encourage the candidates to engage each other contributed to the imbalance; 80 percent of their questions mentioned the views of another candidate and nearly a third of questions mentioned Mr. Trump, giving him multiple opportunities for rebuttal. Mr. Trump both dished out and received the most attacks of the 11 candidates onstage.

Maps of the Protest Sites in Hong Kong
In late November, hundreds of police officers seized control of Argyle Street and cleared encampments in a two-day confrontation with protesters. The police attempted to clear the site on Oct. 17 but were met with thousands of protesters who forced the officers to withdraw. Earlier in October, groups of criminal gangs attacked protesters in a failed effort to scatter them. No encampments remain, but some protesters still gather here.
Treating Ebola: The Hunt for a Drug
The World Health Organization has said that it is ethical to use unproven drugs in the current epidemic. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration has granted expanded access to several experimental drugs for use on Ebola patients. The drugs prevent replication of Ebola virus and the vaccines work by triggering an immune response.
