BRIAN REED I didn't feel great after I gave Hamza a hard time for going off on Richy Thompson, the British humanist. And truth is, it wasn't the first time I'd done something like that, where I called him out for crossing lines I thought he shouldn't be crossing as a journalist. The first time was early on in our working together. [PHONE RINGING] HAMZA SYED Hey. BRIAN REED Hey, Hamza. How's it going?

Daniel C. Lynch, a computer networking engineer whose exhibits on networking equipment helped accelerate the commercialization of the Internet in the 1980s and 1990s, died Saturday at his home in St. Helena, Calif., at age 82 years old.His death was confirmed by his daughter Julie Lynch-Sasson, who said he was suffering from kidney failure.In the mid-1980s, when the Internet was still the domain of academia and government, Lynch was a computer facilities manager who played a key role in the early years of data networking. Although the Internet was very small and limited to non-commercial use, Lynch was convinced of its greatest commercial potential.Daniel C. Lynch in an undated photograph.

In the years before war and hunger disrupted daily life in Yemen, Mohammed Abdullah Yousef used to sit down after a long day of fasting during Ramadan to a large plate of food. His family dined on meat, falafel, beans, fried savory pastries and the occasional store-bought crème caramel.This year, the Islamic holy month looks different for Mr Yousef, 52, a social studies teacher in the coastal town of Al Mukalla. He, his wife and their five children break their fast with bread, soup and vegetables. Earning the equivalent of $66 a month, he fears his salary sometimes slips out of his hands in less than two weeks, largely to pay grocery bills.“I'm struggling to make ends meet,” Mr. Yousef said in an interview, describing how even before Ramadan he began skipping meals to stretch his me...

A troubled heart pump that has now been linked to 49 deaths and dozens of injuries worldwide will be allowed to remain in use, despite the Food and Drug Administration's decision to issue a warning about the risk that it could perforate a wall of the heart.Tiny Impella pumps, about the size of a candy cane, are threaded into blood vessels to take control of the heart's work in patients undergoing complex procedures or life-threatening conditions.The FDA said the device's manufacturer, Abiomed, should have alerted the agency more than two years ago, when the company first posted an update on its website about the perforation risk. Such a notice, the FDA added, would have led to a much broader official warning to hospitals and doctors.The warning is the latest in concerns raised...

The contest for the city hall presidency in Istanbul, Turkey's largest city and economic dynamo, is in many ways between one man who is on the ballot and another who is not.The first is incumbent Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, a rising star in the political opposition who won a surprise victory in 2019 and is widely seen as a potential presidential contender.The second is President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who decades ago was mayor of Istanbul and, after Imamoglu's victory, wanted to bring his hometown back under the control of the ruling Justice and Development Party.The outcome will be decided by Sunday's municipal elections, which in many ways will determine Turkey's political future.A victory for Erdogan's party would allow him to reclaim the political and financial clout of ru...

The phone woke Doug Nordman at 3 in the morning. A surgeon was calling from a hospital in Grand Junction, Colorado, where Mr. Nordman's father had arrived in the emergency room, incoherent and in pain, and then lost consciousness.Initially, staff thought he was suffering a heart attack, but a CT scan found that part of his small intestine had been perforated. A surgical team repaired the hole, saving his life, but the surgeon had some questions.“Was your father an alcoholic?” he asked. Doctors found Dean Nordman malnourished, with his peritoneal cavity "filled with alcohol."The younger Nordman, a military personal finance author who lives on Oahu, Hawaii, explained that his father, 77, had long been a classic social drinker: a scotch and water with his wife before dinner, which was...
