The Cubs have designated reliever Tim Collins for assignment, per Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times . His 25-man roster spot's going to promising pitching prospect Adbert Alzolay , who's coming up from Triple-A Iowa. The more notable move here is the call-up of Alzolay, a 24-year-old who rates as one of the Cubs' best farmhands. Now 24, the right-handed Alzolay joined the Cubs as an international free agent out of Venezuela for just $10K in 2012. MLB.com currently ranks Alzolay fourth on the Cubs' list of prospects and notes the team's of the belief he could develop into a mid-rotation starter. Alzolay has thrived this year at the Triple-A level, where he has pitched to a 3.09 ERA/3.10 FIP with 12.94 K/9 and 1.69 BB/9 in six starts and 32 innings. However, even though key starter Kyle Hendricks is on the injured list, the Cubs aren't planning to have Alzolay join their rotation immediately. He'll instead back up No. 5 starter Tyler Chatwood , who's set to take the ball Thursday against the Mets. Collins, meanwhile, has gone back and forth between Chicago and Iowa since the club signed him to a major league deal in late March. The 29-year-old lefty has thrown 7 2/3 innings this season in Chicago, with which he has allowed three earned runs on nine hits and three walks (with four strikeouts). Collins also owns a 2.12 ERA (with a far less encouraging 5.45 FIP) and 9.53 K/9 against 4.76 BB/9 in 17 Triple-A frames this season.


Someone you could always count on. That's how the victim of a deadly shooting at a Charlotte Steak 'n Shake was described by those who knew him. His co-workers said Darnell Harris didn't back down when a man with a gun walked into his workplace on Tuesday. Police said his bravery saved lives. "He fought valiantly, and he gave his life trying to help others." His younger brother said Harris was always protecting others. "He would always step in front of me, and I'm bigger than him, he's a smaller dude, but he always had heroics to step in front of you and keep you safe." That's exactly what Harris did when a gunman walked into Steak 'n Shake on South Blvd. earlier this week. And that's where he was shot and killed, trying to protect others. A GoFundMe campaign has been set up by City Councilman Tariq Bokhari and Lending Tree CEO Doug Lebda to raise money for the family. Lebda said he'll match all donations up to $20,000. Police said Eddie Doh, a repeat, violent offender, was the man who robbed Steak 'n Shake at gunpoint, shooting Harris and another customer. Detectives said Doh had help. Kiara Murphy was arrested on the same charges Doh is facing. Police said she plotted and schemed with Doh, then dropped him off at the restaurant. "One person's driving, one person goes in. Both are guilty of the exact same offense." Police believed they also robbed East Coast Wings and Grill across town in NorthLake a few days prior. "I call 'em vampires out here. There are people out here who are just out for blood." Harris' friends and family had this to say. "Am I angry? No. Because anger and hatred is what caused this act to happen." The family is gripping to faith when everything else seems lost. "Now I don't have my brother. In the physical. But he's with me spiritually."

Memorial Day weekend brought the reopening of the world's oldest roller coaster still in operation. Leap The Dips was built in 1902 at Altoona's Lakemont Park. It was in continuous operation until the 1980s, and was refurbished and reopened in the 1990s. LehighValleyLive.com reports the park had been closed the last two seasons for repairs and reopened last Saturday. The coaster only goes 10 mph and is only 41 feet high, but thrill-seekers may like the fact that it operates without seat belts, lap bars or headrests. The National Park Service added Leap The Dips to its registry of National Historic Landmarks in 1996.

TEMPE, Ariz.   Bobby Hurley has been on the job for about a week by this point, and here's the tally: Two countries, at least five cities … and just two photographs on his desk. "I have my kids' pictures   my son and daughter," Hurley says, with a chuckle. "I don't even have my third up there yet." As he sat in his office last week   which was mostly empty, unsurprising with a brand-new tenant, save for some paperwork and some workout and practice plans   Hurley reflected on the whirlwind week which took him from a mid-major conference to the Pac-12, and from Buffalo to Tempe, an undeniable upgrade weather-wise. "I'm getting a lot of people talking about the summers and the heat," Hurley said. "I don't think, when they say that to me, that they really understand what I've been through and what it's like in January and February in Buffalo." But, obviously, sunshine is not the reason Hurley is here. He's hoping to elevate and rejuvenate an Arizona State program that reached the NCAA tournament just twice in nine years under Herb Sendek, Hurley's predecessor. Hurley believes his up-tempo style of play will excite the fan base and find success in the Pac-12; so does the man who hired him, Arizona State athletic director Ray Anderson. According to KenPom.com, Hurley's Buffalo team last year played at the 23rd-fastest pace in the nation, a particularly noteworthy stat in a season marked by sluggishness. The topics of tempo and style came up quite a bit during the interview process, which began while Hurley was vacationing with his wife in Aruba two weeks ago. "What makes him believe that he can take his style of play and be successful in the Pac-12?" Anderson said. "How does he view his style compared to others? How will his style take us to an elevated level rather than the style we've been playing? Bobby being very articulate and having a very high IQ in basketball, he spoke to that exceptionally well. "You spend time with him   he's impressive." That's partly how Hurley, 43, has quickly climbed the rungs of the college coaching ladder. In just five years, he's gone from being an assistant for his brother at Wagner (and then Rhode Island) to Buffalo and, now, to being a head coach of a Power Five program. "It's surprising that I'm here this quickly," Hurley said. "I knew what I knew about the game, and then I learned so much from my brother. It even lifted my confidence more, about what I could do. I know that I'm improving, I'm learning." Hurley said he's seen so much growth in himself during his two years at Buffalo that he believes he has plenty more room to improve, in all sorts of areas. "It's bringing the team along right, how you get better during the course of the year," said Hurley, whose father is a high school coaching legend in New Jersey. "How you train, how you practice, what you emphasize. The culture you have. The kids, too, they understood me and what I expected (the second year). ... "I just think even during the game, decisions you have to make during the course of the game, things were coming second nature more than they were my first year as a head coach." Hurley pointed to three marquee matchups he coached in this past season   Buffalo's games at Kentucky and Wisconsin, and its NCAA tournament matchup against West Virginia   as a wake-up call for him in terms of his career. "I want to be in those games," he said. "I'd always been in them as a player. That's a part of the attraction to this job." Hurley, the former Duke star, believes his playing career can be a powerful recruiting tool. He wears a national championship ring (he won two at Duke) as he tries to explain to recruits   whose parents and coaches know his name best   that he wasn't the most talented guy growing up, and that he worked hard for what he achieved in the sport. He'll pitch to prospective players that he can show them how to do the same, how to work your way up to the NBA. That's a vital piece to this puzzle   recruiting   at Arizona State, particularly with Arizona 90 minutes down the road and another storied program, UCLA, in the league, too. Hurley retained Stan Johnson from Sendek's staff because of his strong ties along the west coast; that will help. But it's still a daunting road ahead, with sky-high expectations for Hurley and a program that last reached a Sweet 16 in 1995 and has never gone past the Elite Eight. But the Sun Devils believe they've got the right coach to lead them forward, one with an incredible basketball pedigree, the right style of play and the energy to make this work. "The vision is that our basketball team with Bobby Hurley as our leader will get Arizona State not just to the point of being relevant but to the point of being a consistent challenger for conference championships and going to the Final Four with really good student-athletes," Anderson said. "That is a really big challenge, and it's aspirational, but it's who we are and what we aspire to be. That's what we're intent on doing. That's our vision."


Tensions between the US and Iran are at their highest level in years after Tehran shot down an American drone on Thursday. The confrontation has raised fears that a conflict between the two countries would quickly spiral into a wider war that could consume the entire region. Here's a look at how we got here. Why is this happening now? The roots of the latest Iran-US crisis go back to 2018, when US President Donald Trump walked away from the Iranian nuclear deal, one of the signature achievements of his predecessor Barack Obama, and reimposed harsh sanctions on the country. Iran has since threatened to exceed enrichment limits allowed under the nuclear deal and is accused by the US of taking actions across the Middle East, designed to put pressure on the Trump administration. The downing of the US drone is just the latest in a series of provocations between the two nations. The US has also blamed Iran for explosions on two oil tankers last week on one of the world's most vital strategic shipping routes, the Strait of Hormuz , as well as on four commercial ships off the coast of the UAE last month. Iran has categorically denied responsibility for the ship attacks. Relations between the two nations appeared to take a dangerous turn on Monday, when the Trump administration announced the deployment of 1,000 additional troops and extra military resources to the Middle East. Washington said it was in response to "hostile behavior by Iranian forces that threaten United States personnel and interests across the region." The Strait of Hormuz -- which is only 21 miles wide at its narrowest point -- is the only way to move oil from Persian Gulf producers to the world's oceans, which is why the attack on the two ships in the nearby Gulf of Oman was such a concern. Tensions in the area affect oil prices and if the strait were closed due to the threat of ongoing attacks, it could dramatically impact the world economy. What happened with the drone? On Thursday, Iran's Revolutionary Guard said it had shot down an "intruding American spy drone" after it entered into the country's territory. While the US confirmed a drone had indeed been brought down, the Trump administration insists the incident occurred in international airspace over the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran's downing of a US drone was a warning that the Iranian army forces are capable of countering any "foreign aggression," the head of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps Major General Hossein Salami said. He released a strongly worded statement Thursday saying the nation did "not want war with any country," but it was "completely, and totally, ready and prepared for war." This sentiment did not go down particularly well with Trump, who tweeted that "Iran made a very big mistake." However, the President later downplayed those words, calling the shootdown "a new wrinkle, a new fly in the ointment" and that he found it "hard to believe it was intentional." Both Washington and Tehran continue to argue over the location of the downing, with Iran maintaining it was shot down over its territory. Foreign Minister Javad Zarif tweeted a timeline of the incident Thursday, which included coordinates of where he says the drone was targeted. The US countered Iran's claims with its own coordinates, suggesting the drone had instead been flying in international airspace -- at a point around nine nautical miles southwest of Iran's coordinates. Why is everyone talking about international waters and airspace? The precise location of where the US drone was shot down has become a key point of contention. Iran is likely to be able to legally justify its response in shooting down the drone if it had indeed violated sovereign airspace, especially if it was engaging in "spying and information gathering." It could then use the justification of self-defense -- walking a fine line between sending a signal to the Trump administration, while also avoiding military retaliation. "The Iranians are clearly trying to demonstrate their ability to defend themselves and to deter further American action. They probably assumed that by targeting a drone, they could send that message at minimal risk," said CNN's military analyst John Kirby , a retired Navy Rear Admiral. How close is the US to war? Trump is now caught between Republicans demanding a response to the downing of the drone, and congressional Democrats warning that the president could lose control of the situation and lead the US into war. Overnight Thursday, Trump abruptly called off military strikes against Iran after previously approving them in retaliation for the drone shooting. "We were cocked & loaded to retaliate last night on 3 different sights," Trump tweeted on Friday. "10 minutes before the strike I stopped it." Causing so many casualties, he added, would not have been "proportionate to shooting down an unmanned drone." The US military targets would have been a limited set of Iranian radars and missile batteries, a US official with direct knowledge of the matter told CNN, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the information. No US weapons had been launched when the decision was made to call it off. The New York Times first reported the aborted strikes. What would the conflict look like? The last time the US went to war in the Middle East was 2003 in Iraq. But a war with Iran would likely look different, with Iran possibly using its networks of regional proxies to target the US and its allies far from Tehran. While by every conventional military metric the US would outgun Iran, America's biggest vulnerability is regional stability and the cost to the global economy -- which is what Iran is counting on. While the US may be able to count on Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates if it wanted to act on recent tensions with Iran, it won't find many other eager volunteers, CNN's Ben Wedeman reports. The Trump administration alienated European allies by walking away from the Iran deal last year. The French and Germans in particular are unlikely to back military action, and the United Kingdom -- consumed by Brexit -- probably won't have the appetite either, says Wedeman. Even with the help from Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, the US won't come near to the firepower and political support President George W. Bush was able to muster in his "coalition of the willing" during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Meanwhile, Iran has plenty of potential resources at its disposal, including Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen and an array of militias in Iraq. Tehran may also be able to call on its close ties with Syria, after helping to keep President Bashar al-Assad in power.


TALLAHASSEE, Fla.   More than a year after last year's Valentine's Day shooting in Parkland that shocked the state and blurred party lines in the state Capitol, the Florida Senate passed a follow-up bill that has become increasingly partisan because of its expansion of a program that would allow classroom teachers to be armed. It succeeded on a 22-17 vote. Although the vote count isn't far off from last year's 20-18 vote, Tuesday's vote fell much more along party lines. Only one state senator, Anitere Flores, a Republican from Miami, kept it from being a complete party-line passage when she voted against the bill with all the Democrats. The 54-page proposal, Senate Bill 7030, cleared the floor with its most contentious piece intact: an expansion of the "Guardian" program created last year that would allow teachers to volunteer to carry guns after undergoing screening and training by a sheriff's office. Under the current law, educators who "exclusively perform classroom duties" are not eligible to participate in the program   a carve-out that was added as a compromise to Democrats and then-Gov. Rick Scott, who opposed allowing teachers to have guns on campus. Democratic state Sen. Lauren Book of Plantation, who served on the post-Parkland commission charged with reviewing the government failures that led to the deadly shooting, spoke for more than 20 minutes on the Senate floor Tuesday, sometimes through tears, about how conflicted she felt about her vote. She ultimately voted against it. "Outside of this role (on the commission) I'm a mom who recently began dropping off my own kids off at school. I always figured I'd tear up because of how sweet and cute they are," she said. "I never imagined tears streaming down my face because I'm afraid of what might happen to them. "I must, at the urging of my community, vote no today, but it's an exceedingly, exceedingly painful vote," Book added. In the Senate's earlier hearing of the bill last week, Democrats unsuccessfully tried to amend the bill to get the teachers piece removed. "The (Parkland) kids came here to this Capitol … what resonated about their coming here was the fact that they said, 'Do not arm my teacher.' And here we are, creating a pathway to arming teachers," said Democratic state Sen. Darryl Rouson of St. Petersburg. This debate has also highlighted differences stemming from Florida's geography, as Republicans representing rural areas such as state Sen. Dennis Baxley of Ocala, repeated concerns about how quickly school shooting can unfold. "I have schools that are 20 minutes away from anybody coming," he said. "There needs to be somebody there that is prepared to act in the first three minutes." Meanwhile, Democrats, many of whom represent major cities, emphasized the abundance of guns in their communities, a concern that has particularly haunted the Legislative Black Caucus since last year. "In my district, there are children that are living with gun violence every day outside of school. The school is a safe space for them," said Democratic state Sen. Oscar Braynon of Miami Gardens. "Let's not inject this into that safe space for these children." Despite earlier hopes expressed by at least one Democrat that they could make a deal with Republicans, their efforts failed. Braynon, however, did succeed in getting two amendments adopted that would require schools to report every time armed staff or school law enforcement officers are disciplined or fire their gun, and for that information to be published annually. Republican state Sen. Rob Bradley of Fleming Island said the bill was being unfairly politicized, especially when a Democrat brought up the National Rifle Association's support for the idea of arming teachers during debate last week. "I even heard the NRA boogeyman mentioned … Has anyone heard from the NRA on this? I haven't. This is not about gun rights," he said. "This is about keeping our children safe and when all other things fail, that there is a last line of defense." Other than the piece related to arming teachers, the bill also includes a slew of other follow-ups to last year's law, most of which are supported by lawmakers of both parties. Those include specifics on how schools should implement mental health services for their students and clarifies districts' shared responsibility to help ensure charter schools have armed security. The bill also would create a standardized "threat assessment" tool for schools to keep records of students they feel may pose a "behavioral threat" to themselves or others.     ©2019 Tampa Bay Times (St. Petersburg, Fla.)

North Carolina Tar Heels point guard Coby White is one of the most talented guards in the 2019 NBA Draft class. Although he is overshadowed by names like Ja Morant and Darius Garland, White would be a steal for any team in the lottery. Here's a look at his strengths and weaknesses: Strengths White, 6-foot-5, 185 pounds, averaged 16.1 points per game on 42.1 percent from the field in the 2018-19 collegiate season. The best part of White's game is his scoring ability. If you want to use the badge term in NBA 2K, White is microwave : He can get a shot off at any point. Further, with his height, he can usually see over the top of his defender. In the modern-era NBA, he's also tall enough to play other positions along the perimeter. Weaknesses White didn't really shoot the three-ball well in college, finishing his sole season at North Carolina with 35.3 percent made three-pointers. In this day and age, nearly every player needs to shoot well from three, but point guards in particular are expected to be long-distance marksmen. Lastly, White needs to do a better job at being a playmaker offensively. His decision-making needs to improve. White's prospects in Boston Overall, White is oozing tons of potential and the cons that he has are very workable. White would be an excellent fit to Boston's young core because he can be a valuable scorer, especially off the bench. If the Celtics lose Terry Rozier, White can help fill the void of Rozier's production pretty easily, at least scoring-wise. With the 14th pick in the draft this June, White should be in consideration for the Celtics. He has more pros, than cons in his game.

Video by Sports Illustrated The Golden State Warriors punched their ticket to the NBA Finals on Monday night, setting up their fifth consecutive trip to the championship series. As they await their Eastern Conference opponents, Golden State will have time to rest up, get healthy, and scout their potential opponents. Of course, a lengthy layoff also means there's plenty of time to analyze and dissect the storylines that will surround the Warriors when the Finals tip off. Here are five to keep in mind ahead of and during the 2019 NBA Finals. 1. Injuries to their star players Much of the talk during the lengthy layoff between the Western Conference Finals and NBA Finals will surround the status of two of Golden State's star players. Kevin Durant is expected to play a part in the Finals , while the jury remains out of DeMarcus Cousins. Despite the conjecture in the past week, the Warriors are better off with Durant, especially if they face the powerful Milwaukee Bucks in the Finals. Even if one or both players play in the Finals, it's worth asking how effective they'll be   the layoff will have been lengthy, and it's vital that they're both at full strength and able to contribute. 2. Will Stephen Curry stay hot? At least individually, Curry benefited from Durant's absence more than any other Warriors player, scoring 36.5 points per game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The team's movement-oriented approach simply suits him perfectly. Curry is plenty good enough to dominate a game with or without Durant on the floor, and whomever they face in the Finals won't have had to deal with anyone quite like him. If he's at his best, they will be very hard to beat no matter what. 3. Draymond Green's newfound focus Green may be the heart and soul of the Warriors, but he's also been known for his emotions, temper and inability to avoid confrontations with referees, especially when it's not in his best interests. Against Portland, however, he was on his best behavior and played a dominant series, crediting Durant for helping inspire his turnaround . The question is whether Green will be able to keep that behavior up, especially in a series that should be tougher for Golden State and put them up against more adversity. If Green has truly turned a corner, it's great news for the Warriors, because the Western finals showed what a fully-focused Green is capable of. 4. Strong depth contributions When two key players miss an entire series, even for a team as talented as the Warriors, someone has to step up. Against Portland, that involved Kevon Looney averaging 10 points a game and coming up with a double-double in the decisive Game 4, or the likes of Alfonzo McKinnie joining the first unit to post a +24 in just over 21 minutes of Game 3. Even if their roles are diminished in the Finals, it will be vital to watch what these players do. The stars will need brief rests, and if these depth players can even maintain the status quo when they're in, it's a huge win for Golden State. 5. The end of an era At some point during the Finals, the Warriors will play the final game at Oracle Arena ahead of their move to the new Chase Center next season. The occasion will be drowned out by the fact that it will be the Finals, and the team probably won't be particularly focused on it, but the Warriors will want to depart their old home on a high. It could also be the end of Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant as Warriors, with both set to hit free agency this summer. One or both may yet be retained , and the focus has been good enough that it's been largely drowned out as a storyline. But it will be in the back of many minds when watching Golden State compete in their fifth straight NBA Final. Related slideshow: NBA playoffs 2019 (Provided by imagn)


The Broncos have added a punter to the roster. PFT has learned, via a league source, that the team has signed Justin Vogel to their 90-man roster. Vogel signed with the Packers after going undrafted in 2017 and spent that season as the team's punter. He was released in May 2018 after the Packers drafted JK Scott and then failed to make the Browns after being claimed off waivers. Vogel spent a month with the 49ers this offseason as well. Vogel averaged 44.4 yards on 71 kicks during his rookie season. Colby Wadman took over as Denver's punter last season after Marquette King was injured. He averaged 44.7 yards per kick and is the only other punter on the Broncos roster. UPDATE 1:23 p.m. ET : Per multiple reports, the Broncos have waived kicker Taylor Bertolet in a corresponding move. That leaves Brandon McManus as the only kicker on the roster.


U.S. women's national soccer team star Megan Rapinoe is far from interested in taking part in the ceremonial trip to the White House, if the United States wins the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, according to comments she made to soccer magazine Eight by Eight. "I'm not going to the f****** White House," she said after being asked if she's excited about the idea of going to the White House, which was once a custom of professional and national sports teams to celebrate a championship. But since President Donald Trump took office in 2017, visiting the Whit House has become a topic of controversy for many sports teams, perhaps most prominently with the Golden State Warriors after they won the NBA title in 2017. And instead of going to the White House after they won the title in 2018, the Warriors met with former President Barack Obama when they went to Washington, D.C. After delivering her feelings about the visit with an expletive, she doubled down, saying again that she's not going to the White House, but then offering a slightly different take. "We're not going to be invited," Rapinoe, who is from Redding, Calif., told the reporter, who seemed incredulous at the notion that the team wouldn't be invited to the White House. "I doubt it," she added. Rapinoe was scolded by Trump on Tuesday after it was noticed that she's decided to remain silent while the U.S. national anthem is played at 2019 World Cup matches. She's hardly the first U.S. athlete who has declined a visit to the White House before even receiving one. Danny Green, the Toronto Raptors shooting guard who is from New York, said a visit to the White House now that the Raptors are NBA champs is a "hard pass." Earlier this month, Rapinoe told Yahoo Sports that she is "a walking protest when it comes to the Trump administration," because of "everything I stand for." In 2016, she was also one of the first athletes outside of football to publicly support Colin Kaepernick's protests of police violence against people of color. The U.S. women's national soccer team will play France in the quarterfinals of the knockout stage of the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup on Friday. Drew Costley is an SFGATE editorial assistant.

First off, let me start by saying, "AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA." The Jay Glazer report from earlier stated that the "NFL has zeroed in on a locker room attendant [with the] Patriots who allegedly took balls from officials locker room to another area on way to field. Sources say they have interviewed him and additionally have video. Still gauging [sic] if any wrong doing occurred with him but he is strong person of interest." It was poorly phrased and was laden with heavy words and implications of pending guilt. Pro Football Talk has more to add on the subject : First, per a league source, the other "area on way to field" is a bathroom. The bathroom consists of one toilet and one sink and a door that locks from the inside. Second, according to the same source, the person carried two bags of balls into the bathroom: the 12 balls to be used by the Patriots and the 12 balls to be used by the Colts . Third, from the same source, the evidence comes from a surveillance video that was discovered by the Patriots and given to the NFL early in the investigation. Fourth, again from the same source, the video shows the employee in the bathroom for approximately 90 seconds. So this video was actually of the Patriots staffer going to the bathroom for 90 seconds- clearly not enough time to perfectly deflate 12 footballs- and the footage was submitted by the Patriots themselves. The whole argument is grasping as straws at this point. Now it's just funny.


Video by WMUR Manchester CONCORD, N.H. (AP)   A driver for a transport company who has a history of traffic arrests pleaded not guilty Tuesday to seven counts of negligent homicide in a collision with a group of motorcyclists on a rural highway. Volodymyr Zhukovskyy, 23, was ordered to remain in preventive detention, with a judge saying his driving record poses a potential danger to the public and himself. The plea was entered by Zhukovskyy's attorney Melissa Davis in Coos County Court in Lancaster, New Hampshire. Zhukovskyy remains behind bars there. Davis didn't immediately return calls seeking comment. The Dodge pickup Zhukovskyy was driving was towing a flatbed trailer and collided with the motorcycles in Randolph early Friday evening, investigators say. He was driving erratically and crossed the center line, according to criminal complaints released Tuesday. A survivor of the crash said the trailer wiped out most of the bikers behind him. Zhukovskyy was arrested Monday morning at his home in Massachusetts and handed over to New Hampshire authorities after a court appearance that day. Jury selection is scheduled to begin Nov. 8, with the trial running through December. Connecticut prosecutors say Zhukovskyy was arrested May 11 in a Walmart parking lot in East Windsor Walmart after failing a sobriety test. Zhukovskyy's lawyer in that case, John O'Brien, said he denies being intoxicated and will fight the charge. Additionally, Zhukovskyy was arrested on a drunken driving charge in 2013 in Westfield, Massachusetts, state records show. He was placed on probation for one year and had his license suspended for 210 days, The Westfield News reported. Zhukovskyy's father, who goes by the same name, told the Boston Herald that his son is a Ukrainian national and has permanent resident status in the U.S. The younger Zhukovskyy's court file includes a letter dated Sunday from a deportation officer from Immigration and Customs Enforcement requesting details on his 2017 heroin and cocaine convictions. Records from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration indicate that the company Zhukovskyy was driving for at the time of the motorcycle crash, Westfield Transport, has been cited for various violations in the past two years, MassLive.com reported. Phones rang unanswered at the company. The owner has previously said he was cooperating with the investigation. The crash victims were members or supporters of the Marine JarHeads, a New England motorcycle club that includes Marines and their spouses and ranged in age from 42 to 62. Four were from New Hampshire, two from Massachusetts and one from Rhode Island. JarHeads president Manny Ribeiro, who survived the crash, said he just remembers an "explosion" and the trailer from the truck wiping out most of the bikers behind him. The crash would not have been so deadly, he said, if not for the trailer. After the crash, Ribeiro recalled seeing Zhukovskyy "screaming and running around" in the road before authorities arrived and took him away. The dead were identified as Michael Ferazzi, 62, of Contoocook, New Hampshire; Albert Mazza Jr., 59, of Lee, New Hampshire; Desma Oakes, 42, of Concord, New Hampshire; Aaron Perry, 45, of Farmington, New Hampshire; Daniel Pereira, 58, of Riverside, Rhode Island; and Jo-Ann and Edward Corr, both 58, of Lakeville, Massachusetts.

The best moment so far in the 2019 MLB All-Star Game in Cleveland is something that needs to become a thing in all MLB games. I'm talking about how Fox Sports had Atlanta's Freddie Freeman mic'd up during his first-inning at-bat against Houston's Justin Verlander. Because it was so gosh darn fun. Freeman stepped to the plate and told Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez that he was mic'd up. We then got to listen as Freeman asked Joe Buck and John Smoltz if a close pitch really was a strike (they correctly said it was) and then got to hear a fun exchange between Freeman and Verlander, that had Verlander yelling at him to swing the bat. This was fun: Introducing your in-game All-Star reporter: @FreddieFreeman5 ! #ChopOn pic.twitter.com/HiQzzDRNc2 - Atlanta Braves (@Braves) July 10, 2019 And those were some nasty pitches by Verlander.

Gary Woodland, who won a thrilling U.S. Open at Pebble Beach G.L., was one of the many equipment free agents at the start of the year. When he started considering potential deals, he looked at four different manufacturers, but things quickly fell in place with what some might have felt was an unlikely contender: Wilson. "I played Vegas, then Mexico, and then I did a lot of testing after Mexico," Woodland said at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, where the deal was announced. "I had a bunch of stuff sent in a bunch of drivers, a bunch of irons, and I just fell in love with the [Wilson] irons. And that was the big deal. … Then the deal came together pretty quickly from there." The irons, a prototype at the time, eventually became Wilson's Staff Blade model, a forged muscle-back iron. Woodland, who took out a Wilson prototype utility iron to add the Staff Blade 3-iron on Sunday, uses KBS C-Taper 130 X shafts and Golf Pride Tour Velvet full cord midsize grips on the irons. And when he says he "just fell in love" with the irons, he meant it. "With Wilson it was just the one set. This is the first ones they sent, so that was easy." For the week Woodland finished second in greens in regulation at Pebble Beach G.L. en route to a three-shot win over Brooks Koepka. Woodland also made a golf ball change earlier in the year. Although having some success with Bridgestone's Tour B X ball, Woodland who had played Titleist's Pro V1 in the past tried the company's new Pro V1 model and liked the ball's lower flight, high spin and speed. He asked for some of the balls at the Masters and then played it for the first time in competition at the Wells Fargo Championship without a formal agreement. Also among the non-contracted clubs in Woodland's bag were a Ping G410 Plus driver and Ping G410 LST fairway wood the latter with which he hit that crucial second shot on the par-5 14th hole that led to a birdie and upped his cushion to two shots. Woodland also finished T-5 in driving distance with the driver, which although stated at 9 degrees loft is actually closer to 7 degrees after the adjustable hosel was moved to the big-minus position. The driver is 44.75 inches in length with an Accra RPG 472 M5+ shaft tipped two inches. The movable weight is in the neutral setting and the swingweight is a hefty D-5. And now he has a pretty hefty title as well: U.S. Open champion. What Gary Woodland had in the bag at the U.S. Open Ball: Titleist Pro V1 Driver: Ping G410 Plus , 9 degrees 3-wood: Ping G410 LST , 14.5 degrees Irons (3-PW): Wilson Staff Blade Wedges: Titleist Vokey SM7 (52, 58 degrees); TaylorMade Milled Grind Hi-Toe (64 degrees) Putter: Scotty Cameron by Titleist GSS putter


The Vancouver Canucks have had quite the interesting offseason so far, highlighted by the retirement of Roberto Luongo placing more than $3M of cap recapture penalties on their books. To combat that, the team will buy out Ryan Spooner to open up some more cap space for potential free agent signings and new contracts for their own RFAs. While Vancouver has been routinely linked to free agent defenseman Tyler Myers , Rick Dhaliwal of Sportsnet reports that the team is currently "still in the mix" for Gustav Nyquist as well. Nyquist, 29, was acquired by the San Jose Sharks at the deadline and fit in quite well with them, scoring 22 points in 39 games including a solid postseason. Even with the good fit, he may end up being too pricey for the them to retain after they made Erik Karlsson the highest-paid defenseman in the league and need to get Timo Meier under a new deal. That opens him up for a bidding war on the open market as one of the top second-tier free agent forwards, something Vancouver is obviously interested in. Coming off a four-year $19M deal signed with the Detroit Red Wings in 2015, Nyquist is undoubtedly looking for a raise on the $4.75M cap hit he carried last season. After recording a career-high 60 points his market won't be small, and there has been plenty of speculation on where that might lead him. Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet suggested recently that the Columbus Blue Jackets may be a fit, which would make sense given Aaron Portzline of The Athletic's reporting (subscription required) that they have been focused on free agent forwards. If the Canucks do get involved with Nyquist, they're going to have to make sure they don't overextend themselves while Brock Boeser is still without a contract. The 22-year old forward should be getting a healthy raise on whatever deal he signs, and he is much more important to the team's future than a free agent forward who will be 30 before the season begins.


A majority of voters oppose impeaching and removing President Trump but a strong majority of Democrats are in favor of doing so, according to the latest Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll survey. The survey found that a plurality of voters, 43 percent, favor no action against the president, including 44 percent of independents. Thirty-seven percent support impeaching and removing the president. Sixty percent of Democrats say the president should be impeached and removed, but only 36 percent of independents are in favor. Twenty percent of voters say Trump should be censured by Congress. The new poll, which was conducted after special counsel Robert Mueller's statement on Wednesday, has several other warning signs for Democrats agitating to begin impeachment proceedings against Trump. Sixty-eight percent of voters said Democrats in Congress should accept Mueller's finding that there was no criminal conspiracy and 65 percent said Democrats should accept Attorney General William Barr's conclusion that the president did not obstruct justice. Sixty-three percent of voters said the investigations into Trump are hurting the country. Fifty-eight percent of voters said it's time for Congress to turn the page on the Russia investigations. That could be a tough sell for the Democratic base, as a plurality of Democrats, 25 percent, said impeaching Trump should be the top priority for the Democratic majority in the House, followed by 18 percent who said the party should focus on shoring up ObamaCare and 14 percent who said Democrats should prioritize stimulating the economy. "The public is growing unusually weary of investigations into President Trump and any effort to mount significant new investigations carries a significant risk of blowback for the Democrats," said Mark Penn, the co-director of the Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll survey. Related video: Democrats want more investigations, voters list health care key issue, CBS News polling finds (CBS News) Mueller reignited the impeachment debate this week with his surprise appearance at the Justice Department, where he said charging Trump with a crime was "not an option" and seemed to push the matter to Congress. But Mueller, who did not come to a conclusion in his report about whether the president had committed a crime by seeking to obstruct justice, refused to exonerate the president on the obstruction front.. "If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so," Mueller said. Trump lashed out at Mueller and House Democrats, calling the special counsel "highly conflicted" and describing impeachment as "a dirty, filthy, disgusting word." On the question of collusion, 47 percent in the poll agreed that Mueller did not find evidence of a criminal conspiracy, compared to 35 percent who said he did find evidence of wrongdoing. But the public is split on the question of obstruction, with 42 percent saying Mueller found evidence and 41 percent saying he didn't. Meanwhile, Barr continues to face blowback for his claim that the FBI and CIA "spied" on the Trump campaign. Critics say that's a loaded term and that there was sufficient justification for intelligence agencies to use undercover operatives and other surveillance methods to track some Trump campaign officials. The public is split 50-50 on the question of whether there was "spying," but 52 percent said the surveillance was fair and legal. Fifty-three percent of voters said bias played a role in the FBI opening an investigation into Trump and 52 percent said the investigation was an effort to undermine the president. "America is split on whether their was 'spying' on the Trump campaign but a slight majority says the investigation of Trump was an effort to undermine of block him," said Penn. The Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll online survey of 1,295 registered voters was conducted from May 29 to May 30. The Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll is a collaboration of the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard University and The Harris Poll. The Hill will be working with Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll throughout 2019. Full poll results will be posted online later this week. The Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll survey is an online sample drawn from the Harris Panel and weighted to reflect known demographics. As a representative online sample, it does not report a probability confidence interval.

It appeared to be a painful start to the week for the stock market, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbling more than 470 points at the open on Monday. Yet Carolyn McClanahan , a certified financial planner, in Jacksonville, Florida, received no calls from worried clients. "There's always something that's troubling the stock market," McClanahan said. The issue this week? Fear of a trade war erupting after Trump said in a Sunday afternoon Twitter post that the current 10% tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods will rise to 25% on Friday . He also threatened to impose 25% levies on an additional $325 billion of Chinese goods "shortly." "It's the least worry our clients have," said McClanahan, the founder of Life Planning Partners . (The Dow has since erased more than half its losses and was down about 200 points by early afternoon). McClanahan attributes her and her clients calm to their previous discussions about risk. "How much risk do you need and want to take?" she said she asks them annually. "We focus on what the client's life goals are. You can't control the market." Investors who make decisions in response to the president's volatility should brace for whiplash, said James W. Paulsen , chief investment strategist of the Leuthold Group, an investment research firm in Minneapolis. "This is a man-made crisis that was created by a Trump trade tweet, and it can be ended by a Trump trade Tweet," he said. Concerns over whether someone's stocks are over- or under-valued are often needless, said Mark Hebner , president of Index Fund Advisors, which manages $2.7 billion. "With roughly 10 million buyers and sellers every day, the market is setting the fair price all the time so going forward they're positioned to get the fair return," Hebner said. That reality, of course, is why more people are now investing in index funds today rather than picking individual stocks. Recent research from Morningstar found that in 2018 just 38 percent of active U.S. stock funds fared better than their passive peer funds. "This trading game doesn't help investors," Hebner said. (McClanahan said her firm transitioned to only passive funds in 2009, after the active funds did worse in the financial crisis.) Advisers should remind any jittery clients that "news is random," and that "buyers and sellers react to that news so that the new price positions the buyer to get a fair return," Hebner said. He provided an easy-to-imagine example: If you wanted to make sure you were selling your house at a fair price, you might call an appraiser who would look at three similar houses to see what they sold for. "We're looking at three houses that sold to determine whether your house sells properly," Hebner said. "There are 10 billion shares of security traded every day. You don't think they come to a fair price? Give me a break." Advisers should point their clients to the important indicators beyond grabby headlines, Paulsen said, including muted inflation , and the recent positive earnings and productivity reports. "The odds of that winning still seem bigger than the odds of a 3 a.m. Tweet storm taking us down," he said. Still, advisers can use market dips to help their clients manage their expectations, Paulsen said. "Even if you're bullish like I am, I don't think you're max-bullish anyway, just because of the fact that we're going to have a record-setting long recovery , and we're at full employment ," he said.

How did Arrow Schmidt Peterson Motorsports ensure it overcame the setback of James Hinchcliffe's accident in qualifying last Saturday? With slick organization and determination, as competition director Billy Vincent explains to David Malsher. One of the Arrow SPM drivers, Marcus Ericsson, made it onto the grid without problem in 13 th , and the rookie excelled again in the penultimate practice for the Indy 500, held on Monday, with the cars in race-level downforce and with race-level turbo boost. This time it wasn't so much his speed that caught everyone's eye but his avoidance of a major accident. This two-hour practice session the day after qualifying weekend is traditionally the time for drivers to run in packs, trying to replicate typical race conditions, feeling how their car will handle in 'dirty air'   that is to say, in the wake of a car or a cluster of cars up ahead. As well as that, they will gauge how much fuel they can save while sitting in the draft as well as the speed gains from getting that tow along the straights. This way they will know how and when they should time their passes. In effect, it looks like a race, with swarms of cars heading down the front straight at 225mph-plus, changing lines, ducking and diving, and with the pack expanding and contracting in a concertina of color and noise. On one lap, as Ericsson was pitching his #7 Arrow SPM Honda into Turn 1, up ahead his compatriot and fellow rookie Felix Rosenqvist of Chip Ganassi Racing was being passed on the inside by the Andretti Autosport car of Ryan Hunter-Reay. Off line, Rosenqvist suddenly felt his car pushing up the track toward the outside wall, and eased off the throttle. At those speeds, and with drag-inducing downforce on the cars, merely backing off the gas is enough to make an Indy car slow as if the driver has hit the brakes. Former F1 driver Marcus Ericsson has adapted well to his first oval experience at the most daunting oval of all. Photo by: Phillip Abbott / LAT Images Spotting that the Ganassi car ahead was looming larger at an alarmingly rapid rate, Ericsson also lifted off the throttle, at which point his car twitched sideways. He got back on the throttle and steered into the slide, and kissed the wall's outside SAFER barrier with his right-rear tire, leaving a dirty black rubber mark on the white paint, and drove straight back to the pits. There the #7 Arrow SPM crew checked the car over, realized he hadn't done any damage to the suspension, so light had been the contact, and sent him right back out in order to keep his confidence high. Marcus had come through another major oval challenge with flying colors, for had he overreacted to Rosenqvist's slowing car, he could have spun in front of a large pack of his peers, with disastrous consequences. Oriol Servia is another driver who had a drama-free run in qualifying, despite the Team Stange Racing's partnership with Arrow SPM being a new one and despite not having raced an Indy car for a year. The veteran grabbed 19 th spot on the 33-car grid, six places ahead of the Meyer Shank Racing with Arrow SPM entry piloted by INDYCAR Grand Prix star Jack Harvey. James Hinchcliffe, as seems to be his destiny at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, had a more torrid, heart-in-mouth time. He had enjoyed a steady rather than spectacular week of practice, but as he explained here on Motorsport.com , he had always been planning to focus on raceday setups. Yes, it's great to set a banner lap speed, but with the Indy 500 comprising 200 laps of the famed 2.5-mile course, it's more important to have good balance and confidence-inspiring handling over the long haul than to strive for pole position and then sink like a stone as soon as you're battling through the dirty air caused by peers or backmarker traffic. Nonetheless, Hinchcliffe expected to be comfortably able to qualify on the Saturday, but the weather had other plans for him. Direction and strength of wind has always been a factor at Indy. Drivers coming off Turn 4 will often look up at the windsock on the scoring pylon and the flags on the infield buildings to check which way the gusts are blowing, to know how their car might be affected heading into Turn 1, or down the back straight to Turn 3. Even back in the days when Indy cars were front-engined roadsters, the gusts encountered while making the transition from headwind through crosswind to tailwind   or vice versa   going into Turn 2 could have a bad effect on a car already at the limit of adhesion. More trials and tribulations for Hinchcliffe at Indy, but he and the Arrow SPM team persevered and got on the grid. Photo by: Scott R LePage / LAT Images When it came time for Hinchcliffe to qualify the #5 Arrow SPM Honda, he had completed his warm-up lap and was into his first flying lap   Indy grid positions are decided by the average lap speed on a four-lap run   when he came into Turn 2, appeared to push a little wide, probably due to a wind gust. As he eased the throttle, suddenly the car spun, because at those speeds there is barely any time   and hardly any steering lock   to correct such a vicious lateral movement. In an instant the car had pounded the wall and the chassis was damaged beyond immediate repair. James was checked at Indy's medical center, released and cleared to drive, but he would now need to use the team's spare car. Cue Billy Vincent and the Arrow Schmidt Peterson Motorsports team readying its spare car, which a week earlier had been James' road course car, the one in which he had competed in the INDYCAR Grand Prix. "It's a case of expecting the unexpected, especially on ovals when the accidents are generally at higher speed, so any incident is likely to involve more car damage," Vincent tells Motorsport.com. "You've always got to have enough spares and enough crew available to recover from anything at least once. "On the Monday of practice week, the goal is to get your cars through the Tech Inspection line before they close, so after the Grand Prix, we pull those engines and install them in the superspeedway cars. We did that with all four cars   the two Arrow cars, the Meyer Shank car and the Team Stange car. Then we also start to convert the road course cars into spare superspeedway cars, and we do a bit more each day: the crew have a calendar on the wall with a daily goal. By the end of Tuesday they should have the front suspension converted, on Wednesday the rear suspension should be converted, the fuel cell should be converted, and so on. The target is that by the end of Thursday, all Indy Grand Prix cars have been converted to Indy 500 backup cars." This workload is all in addition to running up to seven hours of track time each day with the primary superspeedway cars, and making changes to them as required… "Yeah, and sometimes luck is against you," says Vincent. "You'll have a crash in practice and suddenly that becomes the priority. But luckily for us, we had a clean week and so we were able to reach our target." There is not, however, a limitless supply of engines, so until a spare car is called upon, it sits without power unit. It is therefore quite amazing that following Hinchcliffe's shunt, the spare was fitted with an engine, went through tech inspection and rolled back out to pitlane in little more than two hours. That gave the team enough time to get the car back in line for James to make three more qualifying attempts that day. The best of these was a 226.956mph four-lap-average   less than 0.3mph shy of making the Top 30 locked in for the Saturday session. It's Sunday afternoon, and the spare #5 Arrow SPM Honda   note the 'T' next to its number   is pushed down pitlane prior to Hinchcliffe's ultimately successful bid to bump his way back onto the grid. Photo by: Michael L. Levitt / LAT Images It meant a nervous night for the entire Arrow SPM crew who were faced with a Sunday spent battling five other cars for the last three remaining slots on the grid. They checked and rechecked the body-fit of the #5T   T is the designation given to spare cars   since aerodynamics and handling are the crucial factor at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Just a tad more drag could be the difference between making the show and not making the show, and the margins were finer this year than ever before. This is the closest-packed field in 103 years: the difference between pole-winner Simon Pagenaud and slowest qualifier Pippa Mann was just 2.748mph. Given Hinchcliffe's storied relationship with IMS, he had ample reason to sleep badly that Saturday night. Could he really be staring down the barrel of another failed attempt to qualify for The Greatest Spectacle in Racing? Well yes he was   but this is when team effort and a gutsy attitude from the driver will pay off. Come Sunday in the Last Row qualifying shootout he produced an average of 227.543mph and he was onto the grid. "The Indy 500 is a big deal, right?" says Vincent with charming understatement. "We've been preparing cars for this race since last October. Each car, although it's a spec chassis with spec bodywork, has its little differences, little things that are unique. So in the off-season, there's a group within the crew who will volunteer to do bodywork fitment for a particular chassis. So the front and rear mechanics become bodywork specialists to make sure every part of the body is as streamlined as possible, no joins that can cause drag. At every seam, the panels have to be completely flush with each other. These guys are covered in dust all winter but they take extra-special pride in what they do and it pays off." Indeed it did last Sunday. The team breathed a collective sigh of relief. "It was quite calm," said Vincent, "because we felt prepared. There was an incident and, boom, we knew what to do, how to do it, and we executed. I mean, I know we get three days of regular practice and then one day [Fast Friday] of qualifying practice, but if the team is in a good place, if it's functioning as it should, you really shouldn't be using those days for testing. That's all been done in the winter with your windtunnel testing, your testing on the seven-post shaker rig, and the organization of the big parts like assigning gearboxes, shocks and dampers, and so on, for each car. So when something occurs like what happened to James, there shouldn't be a reason to panic. Like I said, you should be prepared to deal with anything at least once." So all that extra practice time for the Indy 500 is unnecessary? James and Marcus flying in formation with Scott Dixon of Ganassi and their Meyer Shank Racing with Arrow SPM teammate Jack Harvey, as they learn their cars' behavior in simulated race runs. Photo by: Scott R LePage / LAT Images "Well, no," replies Vincent, "but the fundamentals of the car should be in place, so you're not really testing big-ticket items. That track time you get should be all about fine-tuning, and obviously with how close the field is now, that's a big deal. You'll be keeping an eye on your competitors, seeing what they're doing, and if you see something that seems to work for them, you may want to try it. Maybe you haven't tried it before or maybe you tried it and it didn't work for you in theory, but it may now be working in reality for someone else, so perhaps you want to re-evaluate it. "But it's also really easy to get caught out doing that, chasing something that someone else had instead of following your own program. It's easier with a talented rookie like Marcus to just follow a really rigid plan to get him up to speed, and not go chasing off in different directions: the priority is to get the new guy comfortable with ovals, and that's worth far more than any tiny little gain on the speed charts. "But with a veteran like James, the temptation is to think, 'Well, he already knows what he's doing, so let's start experimenting with his car.' We might try something quite radically different and it may pay off, but if it doesn't, you can waste too much time back in the garage changing everything back to how it was. Throw in changes in wind direction or strength, changes in track temps and downtime for rain, and suddenly you can find all those extra practice hours are drifting away without really making progress." Vincent, ex-Team Penske, ex-Andretti Autosport, is a major asset to Arrow SPM because he rolls with the punches and accepts whatever circumstances are hurled the team's way by Fate throughout the NTT IndyCar Series' 2.5-week spell at Indianapolis Motor Speedway each May. He's not old, but he is a veteran. Like everyone in Gasoline Alley, though, he will now start to feel that knot of tension ahead of Memorial Day Weekend and the world's biggest race held in front of the biggest one-day crowd in sports. There are just 90 more minutes of track time, on Friday   Carb Day   to hone the car to perfection. Then the anticipation will ramp up a little more and a little more until on Sunday it explodes into an addictive blend of cannon blast, drums, bagpipes, last post trumpet calls, Back home again in Indiana , balloons, the national anthem, flyovers, and 'Drivers, start your engines.' Indianapolis Motor Speedway on the final Sunday in May. There's truly nothing like it.

A Pasadena woman who was almost home after going to the gym was abducted and sexually assaulted early Tuesday morning, police said. The woman had just left Fitness Connection in the 3900 block of Spencer Highway when a man began following her in a green Ford Mustang, according to the Pasadena Police Department. The Mustang had a dark-colored primer on the front bumper, police said. As she pulled up to her home, the man ran up to her, forced her in the back of the Mustang at gunpoint and drove off with her, police said. He then drove to an area in the 2000 block of Lamar, where he sexually assaulted her before fleeing, police said. Detectives described the man as being between 18 and 22 years old and between 5 feet, 2 inches and 5 feet, 4 inches tall. He is skinny, was clean shaven and wore gray slick sweatpants and a black cotton hoodie, police said. Anyone with information is urged to call Pasadena PD Detective J. Stephens at 713-475-7896.

It may have been just one of a number of egregious missed calls in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final, but the NHL Department of Player Safety has decided a high hit that was not called a penalty on the ice is deserving of a one-game suspension. After a hearing with St. Louis Blues forward Ivan Barbashev this morning, Player Safety has announced that he will be suspended for Game 6 for an illegal check to the head of Boston Bruins counterpart Marcus Johansson . This is was just one of two missed high hits on Bruins players in the game, as defenseman Torey Krug also took a shot from forward Zach Sanford. That's also not even including an obvious hold, again on Krug, and a blatant slew foot on Noel Acciari that lead to the Blues' game-winning goal. Boston would likely trade this Barbashev suspension for a correct call in any of those situations. This is also now the second suspension for the Blues in this series, as Barbashev's fellow fourth-liner Oskar Sundqvist was suspended for Game 3 after boarding Matt Grzelcyk, an incident that has since left the defenseman sidelined. While St. Louis has undoubtedly played a physical game in the city, one that has won the Blues the war of attrition thus far against the Bruins, it's not unfair that some fans feel they have been headhunting. However, the two suspensions are really more of an indictment of the officiating. Two suspendable offenses in this series have totaled just two minutes of on-ice penalties. Player Safety has had to step in to make the proper calls for them, even if just for the optics of appeasing frustrated fans   and the Bruins.


Real Madrid host Villarreal at the Bernabéu this Sunday in a game between La Liga's third and 14th placed teams, as Madrid look to end their dreadful season on a high. Zidane's Los Blancos crumbled to a meagre 1-0 loss away from home against Rayo Vallecano last Sunday. This result now puts them adrift at third place in the league, ten points clear of fourth placed Getafe, nine points behind second placed rivals Atletico Madrid, and a whopping 13 points behind first placed Barcelona. With Madrid having already secured Champions League qualification this year, this game is purely to boost morale. They face an underdog in the form of Villarreal, who sit at 14th in the league, only five points clear of the relegation zone. Since being knocked out of the Europa League by Valencia, Villarreal's form has slowly been improving, and a win against Madrid could help save their season. Here's the side Zidane could field for this encounter. Goalkeeper & Defenders Thibaut Courtois (GK) - The Madrid number one spot has been highly contested over the course of this season, and Courtois will be looking to stake his claim. Having played in 25 games in La Liga, keeping only eight clean sheets and conceding 31 goals, he has a lot to improve upon. Daniel Carvajal (RB) - Like many of Real Madrid's star, Carvajal has struggled for form this season. Raphael Varane (CB) - The 26-year old Frenchman has had an incredible past year, winning the World Cup, the Champions League and being put in the FIFPro World XI for 2018. This season he's been one of Madrid's most reliable defenders, playing 30 of Madrid's 35 La Liga games. Nacho (CB) - The gap that Sergio Ramos has left in Madrid's back-line can't be understated, but this 29-year old Spaniard will be hoping it's his time to prove he's worthy enough to be playing in the Real Madrid shirt. Marcelo (LB) - Marcelo is one of the greatest left backs in world football, but has largely struggled this season. Midfielders Toni Kroos (CM) - The ex- Bayern man has been at the Bernabéu now for five years, and has proven himself to be one of the world's greatest defensive midfielders. His set piece and dead ball skills are unrivalled, and his ability to prevent and then simultaneously kick-start counter attacks, make him a deadly threat. Casemiro (CM) - Casemiro is the anchor of the Real Madrid midfield, and his partnership with fellow Brazilian, Marcelo, has made it almost impossible for players to break through down the left flank. One of Madrid's unsung heroes, and without him they look lost. Luka Modric (CM) - One of Madrid's highest capped players this season with 32 games played in La Liga out of a possible 35, last year's Ballon d'Or winner is irreplaceable. His technical ability and immense passing range, makes him a nightmare for any team he comes up against. Forwards Isco (RW) - Isco had fallen out of favour at Real Madrid until Zidane's re-arrival at the Bernabeu. With Benzema out injured, Isco could start out wide. Gareth Bale (ST) - Bale hasn't had enjoyed a particularly fruitful season but will be hoping to finish it off well. He's played 29 matches for Madrid in La Liga and created 11 goals, Bale is equally dangerous with the ball at both feet and his aerial prowess allows him to tower above defenders. Vinicius Junior (LW) - The 18-year old Vinicius Jr is back from injury and looks set to find his way back into the starting XI this weekend.


NASCAR announced that the appeal for Niece Motorsports will be heard at 9 a.m. ET Wednesday. The Gander Outdoors Truck Series team took the checkered flag first with driver Ross Chastain on Sunday at Iowa Speedway only to have the victory taken away when the truck failed inspection after the race . Brad Moran, managing director of the Gander Outdoors Truck Series said after the race: "We have a procedures and rules in place, trucks are restricted on their ride heights at the front and rear of the vehicles. Unfortunately, the 44 (Chastain's truck) was low on the front, extremely low. "We have a process of what happens at that point. They do get an opportunity to roll around. They put fuel in the vehicle, they air the tires. Give them at least five to 10 minutes. Check them a second time. Unfortunately, the 44 did not rise on the front at all." The team stated it would appeal and blamed "minor damage during the event" for the truck being too low. When NASCAR announced before this season that winning vehicles that didn't pass inspection would have the win taken away, series officials also announced an expedited appeals process. That will allow the appeal to be completed this week before the Truck Series races this weekend at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway. Unlike other appeals, where a team or individual can appeal a penalty and then appeal again if they lose the first appeal, there is just one appeal hearing in an expedited matter.


Bodies change over time and sometimes that change requires attention, something men are typically reluctant to seek Shortness of Breath Men die five years sooner than women on average, and physiological differences can't explain why. Some speculate it's because men, for various reasons often including certain ideas of masculinity , are less likely to go to a doctor and ignore important changes in their health , instead chalking it up to age. Shortness of breath is one example and can be a sign of lung or health conditions. Chest Pains Most people have experienced some kind of chest pain in their lives, but it can be a sign of a serious problem and should not be ignored. Pressure, a burning sensation or tightness should be immediately looked at, particularly if the sensation moves to either or both arms, up to the shoulders, neck and jaw. Erectile Dysfunction Erectile dysfunction can be embarrassing, but it also might be a sign of a significant health condition, particularly related to the cardiovascular system. Men who have difficulty maintaining an erection during intercourse at least 50% of the time should not chalk it up to aging and ignore it. Penis Changes The size and shape of a penis changes throughout life, mostly due to fluctuating levels of hormones in adolescence, midlife and beyond. Some changes have other explanations. A penis that seems to have gotten smaller might actually be due to weight gain in midlife, which causes the belly to sag and makes the penis look smaller. A change in the curvature of an erect penis could signal a years-long buildup of a scar tissue, which can be corrected with surgery if deemed necessary. Changes to the Scrotum Men over 40 might find that their scrotum sags . This could be a sign of hydrocele, where fluid has built up around one or both testicles either because your body makes too much of the fluid or isn't draining it properly. It's often painless, but swelling or discomfort should be flagged with a doctor. Moles and Skin Spots Rates of melanoma have doubled in the last 30 years, and certain spots, moles, and bumps on the skin shouldn't be ignored, especially if they itch, cause pain, bleed, or are an unusual color. General Aches and Pains It's true, even just getting out of bed in the morning can hurt a little. Some aches and pains just come with aging. But men shouldn't ignore pain that is persistent or debilitating, decreases range of motion, is in an area of a previous injury, involves pressure and bruising, or comes with fever and chills. The pain that comes with lifting weights or after a workout, that's the good stuff. But if it becomes an issue or is too painful, that's not something to ignore. Muscle Weakening Men lose on average around 30% of their muscle mass in their lifetime, and that puts them at an ever increasing risk for falls, strains and weight gain. But lost muscle mass isn't gone forever. It can be restored (even increased!) with the right training program. Not ignoring weakened muscles can also build bone strength and help improve circulation and cardiovascular health. Fatigue Bouts of fatigue are common, especially as we age, but prolonged or frequent occurances are often ignored. Fatigue could mean any number of things, including depression, poor sleep, not enough sleep or the onset of certain conditions. Foot Pain Foot pain isn't something to be endured. It's a sign that something is off. This could mean the onset of arthritis, plantar fasciitus (heel pain), bone spurs, weight gain, a stress fracture or gout. Attributing foot pain to the inevitability of aging is a convenient way to avoid the doctor. But taking care of your feet is one key to healthful, happy (and inevitable!) aging. Urinary Problems It's easy to dismiss urinary problems as having drunk too much coffee, alcohol or water. But frequent urination, the inability to fully empty the bladder, or the sudden urge to pee can be a sign of benign prostatic hyperplasia , which is an enlarged prostate. Ignoring it won't make it go away. And it can get even worse. It's treatable with drugs or, in more extreme cases, surgery. Hearing Loss Hearing loss is very common in people as they age, but it can be subtle and its symptoms attributed to other causes. Some 38 million Americans suffer from hearing loss, and treating it, once it's diagnosed, is pretty easy. Neglecting treatment, and not getting tested, can affect a person's well-being, causing irritability, leaving them at risk for injury, even causing depression and loneliness in those who opt out of social events due to difficulty following conversations. Loneliness Isolation and loneliness can significantly lower one's quality of life. It can also be dangerous to one's health . But ignoring feelings of loneliness is something men have long been taught to do, so it's often ignored. Poor Eyesight Eyesight also changes as we age, and it can affect quality of life if it goes ignored. Regular eye exams should be part of every man's health plan. And getting glasses, including progressive lenses that have multiple prescriptions in one pair, should be a priority. Persistent Thirst Dry mouth is common as we age, but it, along with persistent thirst, can also be symptoms of more serious problems. They may be early warning signs of certain kinds of diabetes or other conditions that may require medical attention for a long, healthy life. Unexpected Bleeding Men shouldn't ignore blood in their urine or semen , which could be the sign of any number of infections, many of which are treatable with antibiotics. Whatever the cause, it likely won't go away on its own, and the earlier you can get treated, the better. Depression Men who don't get their depression treated can often become aggressive and irritable, which can ruin relationships or cause injury or harm to themselves or others. But it's not uncommon for men to ignore the signs of depression or to recognize it and not seek help. Forgetfulness There are lots of reasons people become forgetful, and it doesn't always have to do with age. Sometimes it's a lack of sleep, certain medications or stress. There can also be more serious causes, which are treatable if the forgetfulness is not ignored. These include depression, overuse of alcohol and an underactive thyroid, among others. Pain in Hands Pain in the hands and wrists isn't something you always have to live with. With a proper diagnosis and treatment, the pain often goes away. It could be carpal tunnel syndrome, De Quervain's tenosynovitis (which makes it difficult for the thumb to grasp things) or ganglion cysts, which tend to be benign but can make life difficult. Pain could also mean rheumatoid arthritis or other chronic conditions, which, while not necessarily curable, can be managed with medicines and therapies.


The Run 'n Shoot is headed back to Houston. According to the Houston Chronicle , the XFL franchise in the city is set to hire former Hawaii and SMU head coach June Jones as the team's new head coach. He joins fellow former college coaches like Bob Stoops and Pep Hamilton in the new spring football league funded by Vince McMahon and run by Oliver Luck . Jones has coached at nearly every level of the sport over the past few decades and famously used the Run 'n Shoot offense he learned as a player to help turn Hawaii into a WAC powerhouse, culminating in a Sugar Bowl bid and a host of NCAA records set back in 2007. After going 76-41 with the Rainbow Warriors over nine seasons, Jones then left for the mainland to help turnaround SMU   leading the Mustangs to four bowl games before resigning with a 36-43 overall record. The now-66 year old also had a stint as a head coach of the Atlanta Falcons and was most recently in the CFL with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats as offensive coordinator (briefly coaching one Johnny Manziel ). The XFL is set to kickoff February 8, 2020 and Jones' franchise will play their games at TDECU Stadium, the home venue of the Houston Cougars that really popularized his famous offense in the college universe.


The Boston Celtics are on the verge of one of their biggest offseasons in their team history with several free agents, namely Kyrie Irving and Terry Rozier, ready to hit the market. While it's been long-known that Irving will net a max contract from whatever team he signs with, it's possible that Rozier will command a pricey contract from teams this summer as well. Basketball Insiders' Steve Kyler reports that Rozier looks as if he'll sign an offer sheet with the Celtics while speculating the there will be a nice market for "Scary Terry." Looks like he is heading toward the Offer Sheet route… we'll see what Boston really offers. I think Terry will have a nice market. https://t.co/3KnEwHvhQI - Steve Kyler (@stevekylerNBA) June 10, 2019 Rozier will be a restricted free agent, meaning that if a team makes an offer to him that he agrees to, then the Celtics has two days to match the offer sheet. The player can sign the offer sheet during the moratorium period, which is June 30 through July 5. Once the player has signed the offer sheet and the paper work is faxed over, the team has two days to match. The 25-year-old averaged 9.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 0.9 steals per game last season while shooting 38.7 percent from the field and 35.3 percent from three point range this past season off the bench for the Celtics. However, he averaged 13.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.7 steals per game in the 14 game he started in 2018-19 while shooting 42.9 percent from the field and 40.5 percent from three.

Entering his third season in the NFL, Jamal Adams is budding into of the league's young stars. The league has taken notice to Adams' brash play and never-ending motor. He has become one of the better players at his position, so it's no surprise that he's landed on Sports Illustrated's All-25-and-Under team, which consists of top players across the league who were 25 or younger as of June 1. Andy Benoit describes Adams as "destructive near the line of scrimmage," but Adams' impact for Gang Green has been much more than that. The 23-year-old was the Jets' lone defensive representative at the Pro Bowl in 2018. He has quickly become the heart and soul of a new era of Jets football and he's made sure to let everyone know about it. Last season, Adams was named to the AP's second-team All-Pro. On the season, he had 86 tackles, 12 passes defended and 3.5 sacks. Just this past offseason, Adams has filled the role of the Jets' unofficial team ambassador. Adams played a key part in helping to recruit Le'Veon Bell to the Jets. There are few players in franchise history that have channeled the same attention on and off the field as Adams. With another statement season, Adams can make himself a household name rather than just another promising, young star. As Adams attempts to help lead the Jets to a contending level, the plan is for him to take his game to the next level as well. If he hasn't already cemented his mark as one of the best defensive players in the league, the Jets star will sooner than later.

Police in Hampton, Va., have arrested the mother of a missing 2-year-old and charged her with three counts of felony child neglect. Tomlin, 34, initially said she last saw her son, 2-year-old Noah, at 1 a.m. Monday in his bed at a mobile home park in Hampton's Buckroe Beach neighborhood. Hampton police chief Terry Sult said Friday night that they believe the toddler is dead. "Unfortunately, to date, Noah has not been found," he said. "Based on the highly coordinated investigation we believe him to be deceased. This leaves us a little bit speechless, but the search for Noah continues. We'll never give up hope."
