Medical Examiner Questioned on Homicide Ruling in Freddie Gray’s Death

A medical examiner who performed the autopsy on Mr. Gray said his death would not have been ruled a homicide if he had been driven to a hospital when Officer William G. Porter says he suggested so.

The jury will decide.

Medical attention was not prompt.
Required restraints (seat belts) were not used.

Science

Skinnier and Chillier

Feeling cold more often after losing weight probably has to do with a loss of insulating body fat, but medical problems could also be a factor.

Low physical activity also can leave one cold.

"There is no commercially available vaccine."

CPR Survival Rates Can Differ Greatly by City

Improvements remain underused in practice. As a result, survival rates after cardiac arrest vary as much as 500 percent across the country.

Trust and Money at Core of Crucial Paris Talks on Climate Change

Whether governments can be trusted to do what they say they will do is the question that will determine whether a Paris climate change accord has teeth.

Sooner is better.  As soon as you can is best.

Panthers Secure Division Title and Remain Unbeaten

The Carolina Panthers clinched the N.F.C. South with a 41-38 victory over the Saints in New Orleans.

"EAGLES 35, PATRIOTS 28 Najee Goode scored on a blocked punt, Malcolm Jenkins returned an interception 99 yards for a touchdown, and Philadelphia held on for an improbable road victory.
Darren Sproles returned a punt 83 yards for the Eagles’ second special-teams touchdown, giving Philadelphia a 21-point lead, but New England came charging back, with Tom Brady throwing for a score and then, after an onside kick, running the ball in from the 1 to cut the gap to 7 points with three minutes left.
New England’s second onside kick failed, but the Patriots forced a third-down fumble to give Brady one more chance. The rally fell short when Brady’s passes bounced out of his receivers’ hands.
The Patriots are now on a regular-season losing streak for the first time since 2012."
