Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Super Bowl movie trailer summons Robotnik’s mech – Polygon

Paramount Pictures gave Sonic the Hedgehog fans a peek at Sunday’s big matchup — Sonic and Tails vs. Dr. Robotnik and Knuckles the Echidna, that is — in a new trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 released Friday. A brief, mostly new “Big Game Spot” shows Sonic and Knuckles both squaring off over the Chaos Emeralds and sparring on the slopes. You may recall that Sonic is a master snowboarder and headlined not one, but three video games premised around sci-fi snowboarding. We also get a very good look at a massive Death Egg Robot, Dr. Robotnik’s giant mech suit that, like Miles “Tails” Prower, first appeared in 1992’s Sonic the Hedgehog 2, the video game. But outside of an “I understood that reference” joke that likens Knuckles to a brainwashed Bucky Barnes, Sonic superfans won’t see too ...

Kanye West Seemingly Goes After Pete Davidson Again on New Song – TMZ

7:09 AM PT -- The Kanye diss apparently doesn't have any effect on Pete ... a source close to the comedian tells us, "Pete is focusing on his relationship with Kim and making sure she feels supported, the rest is just noise." Sounds like Kanye West is stuck in the anger stage of breaking up from Kim Kardashian, and he's taking it out on Pete Davidson with a new hint of violence ... in a song, at least. Ye is featured on Fivio Foreign's new single, "City of Gods", alongside Alicia Keys. Great track ... unless you're Pete because when Ye's verse comes up, intimidation towards Pete comes flying out. We mean, how else shoul...

Almost 1 in 3 Older Adults Develop New Medical Conditions After COVID-19 Infection – SciTechDaily

Results can help anticipate the scale of future health complications and improve planning for use of healthcare resources. Almost a third (32 of every 100) of older adults infected with covid-19 in 2020 developed at least one new condition that required medical attention in the months after initial infection, 11 more than those who did not have covid-19, finds a US study published by The BMJ on February 9, 2022. Conditions involved a range of major organs and systems, including the heart, kidneys, lungs, and liver as well as mental health complications. Studies examining the frequency and severity of new conditions (sequelae) after covid-19 infection have started to emerge, but few have described the excess risk of new conditions triggered by covid-19 infection in older adul...

Cutting calories linked to gene that may help create a treatment to extend human lifespans – Study Finds

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Scientists may be on the verge of a treatment that can extend the human lifespan — thanks to a protein tied to how much you eat. This gene appears to have a connection to calorie restriction however, researchers at the Yale School of Medicine believe they can harness its benefits without the need for strict calorie counts by dieters. The team says decades of experiments in flies, worms, and rodents have revealed that cutting down on food increases lifespan. Now, the new study involving humans and mice has identified that switching off a specific gene stopped diet-induced weight gain and age-related inflammation. The discovery opens the door to developing medications that target the key protein PLA2G7. “We found that reducing PLA2G7 in mice yielded benefits that we...

Ebola persists in survivors’ brains for years, re-emerging to spread & kill – study – RT

New outbreaks may be caused by the virus hiding in the brain and reactivating in treated patients, researchers warn One of the deadliest infectious diseases on the planet, which is caused by Ebola virus (EBOV), may relapse, researchers have warned. A study, published on Wednesday and dubbed “groundbreaking” by the scientific community, has found that Ebola may be hiding in the brain of those thought to have recovered years ago following an antibody treatment. Such persistent infections in survivors make them spread the virus again, “potentially causing a new outbreak,” according to researchers.  The study was conducted by a team at the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID). Having linked some recent Ebola outbreaks in Africa...

Bucatini all’Amatriciana Recipe

A Classic Roman Dish - Bucatini all'Amatriciana Like many of you, Meg and I watched the Stanley Tucci special on CNN called Searching for Italy. In the Rome episode, he has lunch at Armando Al Pantheon to enjoy their famous rigatoni all'amatriciana, one of Rome's famous pastas. I made it a little different and call it bucatini all'Amatriciana. Of course I had to run out and buy the ingredients so we could make it at home. Not a lot of ingredients and very simple to prepare and absolutely delicious. Let's look at some of the ingredients. Bucatini Bucatini is a pasta that looks a lot like spaghetti but it is thicker and has a whole running down through the strand. My kids like to say it looks like a straw made out of pasta.  If you lived in Naples, Italy, you would call...
