The Ottawa Senators stand on the Bifrost looking at oblivion as their mystical run to the playoffs now seems endangered, to put it nicely. And the Montreal Canadiens would love nothing better than to escort them out.

For as long as anyone can remember, Europe’s great cities have tolerated–even cherished-their derelicts. Generations of French writers and lyricists, for example, have dedicated folk songs and popular novels to the clochards of Paris. But today the affection is waning. From Milan to Manchester, homelessness has grown into a problem too big to romanticize. Drug addicts, immigrants, former psychiatric patients, unemployed youths, abandoned senior citizens and an emerging class of new poor have all joined the colorful dropouts of the past....
The disorder occurred as thousands gathered at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the heart of Jerusalem’s walled Old City for early morning prayers on Friday. The Palestinian Red Crescent emergency service said at least 152 Palestinians had been injured as a result of the clashes. Israeli police said on Twitter they were responding to people who were throwing rocks and fireworks at officers, three of whom were injured after getting hit with the stones....
The unidentified man, thought to have been aged in his 60s, died in his car in the detached garage of his home near Elsberry, Missouri. Word spread quickly among thieves in the area, according to Lincoln County Sheriff Rick Harrell. “Once the information got out within that group of people that they took full advantage of the situation and ransacked both properties, in fact, for anything they could find of value,” Harrell told Fox2....
While there is no doubt that more cases will continue to emerge in the months ahead, it’s not too late for America to prevent a second wave of COVID-19, according to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and member of the White House COVID-19 task force. Speaking to Newsweek, Fauci says: “It’s in our hands. We can prevent a second wave if we respond to the inevitable infections we’ll see in the fall and winter....
Speaking to Today’s Savannah Guthrie on Thursday morning, Fauci said he was part of the team at the White House that was developing the vaccine plan. A Phase I trial is underway for a potential vaccine and the next step would be to do a Phase II trial to determine if it works and is safe. If the vaccine proves to be a viable option in the Phase I trial, the administration won’t wait for results from the Phase II trial to start producing the vaccine, according to Fauci....
During a Thursday interview with CBS This Morning, Fauci, who serves as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was asked if he could “envision” that Americans would be at beaches and holding social gatherings like normal by summertime, based on current modeling of the coronavirus pandemic. The public health official expressed cautious optimism that this could be possible. “It can be in the cards and I say that with some caution,” Fauci said, “because as I said, when we do that, when we pull back and try to open up the country…we have to be prepared that when the infections start to rear their heads again that we have in place a very aggressive and effective way to identify, isolate, contact trace and make sure we don’t have those spikes that we see now....
It all starts with the obvious captain choice in Michael Thomas. We surround him with a Saints-heavy roster construction, as it seems likely New Orleans will show up in prime time at the Superdome. But we’re also getting in on the Indianapolis passing and rushing games to have some involvement in any possible gameflow.

The hip-hop artists can be seen sporting Mexico jerseys in the newly released video for Future’s “Used to This,” featuring Drake. The video comes one week out from the U.S. national team’s clash with Mexico in Columbus, Ohio, to open the final stage of World Cup qualifying in CONCACAF. You can check out the full video (which does include some profanity) below!
You’re up close and personal with the players, oftentimes interacting with them every once in a while, and you start to feel a bit entitled. Add that to the fact that you probably paid good money for those tickets and you really can start to feel like Ari Gold in Entourage. “I paid two grand for these seats, I’ll get out there and launch a 3 if I want.”...
The Canadian rapper joked in an Instagram post that his new music had leaked as he directed fans to listen to the songs on his record label’s Soundcloud account and watch the video on YouTube. The music video for When To Say When, directed by Theo Skudra, shows the rapper filming on the Marcy Projects in Brooklyn. For Chicago Freestyle, he’s seen in a dark recording studio. The release led to “When To Say When” and “Chicago Freestyle” trending on Twitter as fans took to social media to share their views on the new tracks....
Instead of examining the fact that not all rappers write 100-percent of their own lyrics, lets dive right into the track, which is of course has two big sports references. (WARNING: Audio contains graphic language) Not only is the cover of the track a picture of Blue Jay slugger Joe Carter celebrating his iconic World Series-winning home run in 1993. Carter’s home run lifted the Blue Jays over the Phillies, Meek Mill’s hometown baseball team....
But, as evidenced by his jump shot, or lack thereof, during warmups at Kentucky’s midnight madness celebration, he’s not very good at playing, himself. Earlier Saturday, the multi-platinum rapper showed softball isn’t his game either.

After some time with the DreamBot L10s, the product surprised me in a number of ways. On the one hand, I’ve been impressed with its ability to navigate my home and create detailed maps, complete with furniture and flooring types. On the other hand, it hasn’t been reliable in how well it actually cleans the floors—an obvious problem for this particular type of product. If the DreameBot L10s wasn’t such a premium-priced device it might warrant less scrutiny of its cleaning skills....
The trouble is, ““The Peacemaker’’ thinks it has a mind. (As proof of its seriousness, it dispenses with a star romance.) It’s the first studio movie to touch upon the war in Bosnia, but it does this so meretriciously that you wish it had stuck to fantasy. Most egregious is its piano-playing Serb villain, to whom the movie attempts to give tragic depths by showing us his daughter’s death by snipers....
Gleason, who competed for the Saints from 2000-06, became a New Orleans hero with his 2006 blocked punt in the first Saints game at the Superdome since Hurricane Katrina. He was diagnosed with ALS in 2011. Following the diagnosis, Gleason started a foundation that raises money for treatment of ALS patients. According to its website, the charity has raised nearly $10 million. He now uses a wheelchair for mobility and eye-tracking computer software to communicate with a computerized voice....
