To take back the chamber, the GOP needs to net at least 19 or 20 seats in November. To do so, they will target 30 districts that are currently held by Democrats but that voted for Donald Trump during the 2016 election. That includes more than a dozen districts where he bested Hillary Clinton by more than six points. The Republican National Committee (RNC) will also set up shop in several blue states that have competitive House races: California, Illinois, Nebraska, New Jersey and New York....

According to a poll conducted by the USC Dornsife Center’s for Economic and Social Research, 53 percent of respondents said they’d vote for the former vice president, compared with 40 percent that chose Trump. The poll noted that in 2016, “Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and Trump were roughly even among suburban voters.” The poll surveyed 6,240 suburbanites from August 11 to 29 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points....

Usually, around this time of year, children flock to their local malls to meet Santa and offer up their last-minute Christmas wishes. Given social-distancing protocols in most states, such an event will be non-existent this year. In fact, one visit from Santa in a nursing home in Belgium was said to have resulted in 75 cases of COVID-19 earlier this month, Newsweek previously reported. In November, Dr. Anthony Fauci announced that the big man in red is immune to the virus and will be able to carry out his duties as planned....

The Note 5 Story With the new Galaxy Note 5, Samsung dumped its premium leather and polycarbonate at last. The tacky design interface of the previous Note variants is now replaced by glass and metal. The Edge+ reminds us of the Galaxy S6 and comes with a 5.7-inch Quad HD display and the classic Note stylus. The software has received a new update as well, but the Note 5 makes the stylus more interesting....

Nike’s in the first year of an eight-year, on-court apparel licensing deal with the league, and teams are releasing images as they unveil new jerseys. Gone are the traditional designated “home” and “away” uniforms. Instead, the good folks in Beaverton, Ore., are outfitting each team with a white and primary color uniform as well as an alternative. Teams can wear what they want, when they want in their own building, given they coordinate with the visiting team so they don’t clash....

Robotics Robotics is a medtech field ripe for the application of modular thinking. One example the industry has seen thus far is Medtronic’s Hugo, a robotic-assisted surgery system designed to “make more possible.” Medtronic sees the Hugo as a way to completely change the robotic-assisted surgery paradigm through modular design. Notably, Hugo technology was purpose-built for compatibility with many of the technologies currently used in both laparoscopic and open procedures. Hugo features modular robotic arms that are easily movable and easy to deploy across an entire hospital system....

Inner Ear Autoimmune Causes Autoimmune diseases that affect the inner ear are not all well understood, however, they generally involve components of the immune system (immune cells or antibodies) which for unknown reasons begin to attack the structures that make up the inner ear. There are several theories about how this happens but this usually occurs in relation to another co-existing autoimmune disorder such as:   Allergies (most often food-related) Cogan’s syndrome Systemic lupus erythematosus (thought to be common but hearing loss may also be related to side effects of medications used to treat this illness) Sjogren’s syndrome (sometimes called dry-eye syndrome) Rheumatoid arthritis (controversial) Ankylosing spondylitis Ulcerative colitis Granulomatosis with polyangiitis Scleroderma Psoriatic arthritis Behcet’s disease Relapsing polychondritis (common)...

If you see "J. Shuttlesworth" in a Miami Heat No. 34 jersey guarding "Кириленко" in a No. 47 Brooklyn Nets jersey Friday night, don't be alarmed. They're still Ray Allen and Andrei Kirilenko. The Heat and Nets have unveiled their lists of "nickname jerseys” that the teams will wear when Miami visits Brooklyn.

John Wall scored 16 in his postseason debut. Marcin Gortat added 15 points and 13 rebounds, and the fifth-seeded Wizards pulled out the victory even though they looked like they were ready to be blown out. They cut a 13-point deficit to one in the third and trailed by three going into the fourth, before outscoring Chicago 18-6 over the final six minutes to come out on top in their first playoff appearance since 2008....

They’ve also allowed two goals apiece, and now a pair of ties has the United States looking at what must improve before the Women’s World Cup in June. Tobin Heath scored off her own rebound in the 67th minute, and the United States tied England 2-2 on Saturday in the SheBelieves Cup. “It’s just frustrating,” Megan Rapinoe said. “I feel like there was a lot more in the game for us....

TMZ also reported that McDonald hit her head during the fall and was rushed to the hospital. Reportedly, an EMT nurse in the audience ran onto the stage to provide her with first aid. Later, paramedics arrived at the venue and tended to the comedian. A few hours later, McDonald posted a video of her apology to the audience who attended the show. In the video, which she made from the emergency room at the hospital, the California native said:...

Many people have decided to forgo the demo to save themselves from spoilers and for that reason I’ll keep this post mostly spoiler free and speak to the gameplay and story telling ability the title offers. The beginning of the demo is a tutorial which introduces you to the basic controls and movement system. To allow for movement separate from “head motion” the left analog stick controls where you look and the R2 button controls walking speed....

The heckling occurred near the end of Biden’s speech as the president discussed bipartisan agenda items he hopes to tackle in the year ahead. He spoke of how military service members are exposed to “burn pits,” which are waste dumps that create toxic smoke from burning medical and hazardous materials, jet fuel, ammunition and other items. “When they came home, many of the world’s fittest and best-trained warriors were never the same....

1. George Rogers, RB He's the only Heisman winner in the program's history (1980). His 5,204 career rushing yards remain the school record by far. His jersey is just one of four to be retired by the university. One of the streets that leads to Williams-Brice Stadium is named after him. Yep, George Rogers is still the man in Columbia long after helping place USC (as the Gamecock faithful call their team) on the college football map....

The Raw Tag Team Champions made their way to the ring first before they were then followed out by the team of Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. Rollins and Ziggler started the match-up with a number of technical exchanges as the two men got a feel for one another. Ziggler got the upperhand but it was Rollins who got the tag to Dean Ambrose who got the first near fall of the match....

Senua’s world is completely experienced by the player through the character’s psychosis. Ninja Theory, the developer of Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, created a title in which the story of the Pict warrior was told with careful consideration of and advocacy for real people suffering from mental health illness and the prejudice that often results. Senua’s story was filled with tragedy long before the loss of Dillon, as her mother suffered from the same psychosis and was burnt at the stake by her tribe because of it....

TV Can Time Travelers Teach History? An educational cartoon should be an oxymoron. And creator Dave Wasson insists that “Time Squad,” which debuts June 8 on the Cartoon Network, is, at most, “the C-student’s take on history.” Still, fans can’t help but learn a little from the time-traveling adventures of the three main characters: Time Cop Buck Tuddrussel, the brainy robot Larry 3000 and Otto Osworth, an 8-year-old orphan who loves to learn....
