The Nationals’ Stephen Strasburg and the Mets’ Matt Harvey are the top options, but unfortunately they are facing each other. Harvey is incredibly cheap on FanDuel. Let’s take a look at the DFS MLB Playbook for Thursday April 9th:...

Bernstein, a supporter of former President Donald Trump, said that his efforts to aid post-election vote audits could lead to Biden’s removal during an interview posted to YouTube by podcast host Charles Moscowitz last week. Bernstein previously hosted a YouTube show of his own but was banned from the platform last year after calling for Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) to be “executed.” He has also called for Democrats to be “sterilized....

Let us, as Deng would have said, try to seek truth from facts. What are the facts about today’s Hong Kong? Hong Kong is one of the most successful cities in the world. With no natural resources, Hong Kong’s 6 million people have created the world’s eighth largest trading economy, equivalent to about a fifth of China’s GDP. Hong Kong boasts the seventh largest foreign-currency reserves in the world–the second highest per head....

Woods had another another uneven round Friday at Torrey Pines with four birdies, one bogey and a double-bogey, but three of those birdies came in the final five holes. It was good enough to make the cut, and it was certainly good enough to make golf fans optimistic about Tiger’s chances to compete in 2018.

A family friend confirmed to Variety that Forke passed away from cancer at home in Texas on February 25. The TV star was well-known for playing pilot Alex Lambert on the series Wings from 1992 to 1994, and she also starred in numerous TV shows and films, most notably as an attorney on the second season of ABC’s Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. Her other TV credits include sitcom Dweebs as well as Ned and Stacey and Party of Five, along with movie appearances in Disclosure and Heat....

Are you getting heat from Wall Street for your “let’s put some lipstick on this pig’’ ads? They think the ads are bad for our industry. Our view is that our industry needs to be held accountable for what are obviously widespread practices that are problematic for individual investors. I have noticed a lack of industry golf-outing invitations in my mailbox. Will the concerns about reforming Wall Street go away if the market jumps?...

Congrats on your first solo tour. How do you prepare yourself? To be physically fit is essential. I’m not obsessed with it, but as you hit your 40s, you start to pay for things. I started having back trouble and all the things that people who touch 40 know about. You’ve said live performances were traumatic. You’re looking at an audience, they’re looking at you, your mind is saying, “I hope I can remember the rest of this song....

Malle is a mesmerizing storyteller. He unfolds this disturbing, violently sexual and luxuriously appointed tale of amour fou with coolly gripping precision. But even as the movie holds you in its spell, you may not believe a word of it. For the catalyst at the dubious heart of all this primal thrashing about, the oh-so-enigmatic Anna, is a literary fantasy figure impossible to take. Seductive as Binoche is, there’s no way she can make Anna real: she’s Hart’s fantasy of a male fantasy of a femme fatale....

The suit was filed late Tuesday on behalf of Champlin Towers South victims and family members. It claims that work done on the building next door damaged and destabilized the building that already needed major structural repair. Champlin Towers, the lawsuit claims, “was an older building in need of routine repairs and maintenance, but it was not until excavation and construction began on the luxury high-rise condominium project next door” that the building became unsafe....

In a statement released on Facebook, the Tulsa Police Department said that the family had just returned home from the grocery store on Tuesday night and parked their Dodge pickup truck out front. The father opened the front door of the house, while the mother and toddler climbed out of the car. The mother told her husband that they would not be leaving home again that night. She began walking toward the house with their son, as the father went back to pull the truck into their driveway....

FAU assistant coach Matt Edwards told officials that he witnessed Pelini smoking marijuana in Key West, Fla. on Oct. 19, the Saturday of an off week for the Owls. That was echoed by another person, Allison Stewart, who also said she got a text message from the now-former Owls coach one day later in which he was "admitting that he uses drugs on occasion."

On Thursday, Katty Kay of BBC News asked Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, to respond to claims by the president that hydroxychloroquine works against COVID-19. Earlier this week, Trump retweeted messages criticizing Fauci, and a video that made false claims, including that hydroxychloroquine cures COVID-19. Fauci said: “It’s not productive or helpful for me to be making judgments on right or wrong but what I can say is what I’ve said all along, that the overwhelming body of data from trials that were well run, randomized placebo controlled trials, indicate that hydroxychloroquine is not effective in treating coronavirus disease....

Speaking to CNN correspondent Dana Bash during his latest State of the Union appearance, the leading health expert addressed potential impacts of indoor gatherings and widespread travel tied to holiday celebrations. Acknowledging the present spike in virus cases and grave fatality toll that has climbed in conjunction with it, Fauci said a “post-seasonal” surge could materialize near the start of 2021. “The reason I’m concerned, and my colleagues in public health are concerned, also, is that we very well might see a post-seasonal—in the sense of Christmas and New Year’s—surge,” said the top physician and longstanding director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)....

Compared with the summer months when America reported daily increases of about 70,000 cases, the United States is now reporting more than 200,000 cases each day. The spike in cases is pushing hospitals to the brink of their capacity, raising concerns about the ability for people to be treated, and prompting legislators across the country to impose additional restrictions on social gatherings. In June, when daily cases were around 40,000, Fauci said it was possible the country could reach 100,000 cases each day....

The Washington Post and BuzzFeed News have obtained hundreds of pages of Fauci’s emails through the Freedom of Information Act, revealing more about the early days of the pandemic. In one message, Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, replies to an email from Sylvia Burwell, believed to be the Sylvia Burwell who was health and human services secretary for three years under President Barack Obama....

“I don’t think there’s a chance you’re going to eradicate this because we’ve only eradicated one virus for humans in history and that was smallpox. Elimination is tough,” he said on Friday during a TV appearance with Neil Cavuto on Fox Business Network. “I’m not so sure we’re going to be able to do that, at least not in the near future. That’s aspirational.” “We do know that with the boosters we’re giving now, we’re not only getting a higher level of immunity, we’re getting a more breadth of immunity, which I believe may give us more duration....

Although Allure has eight offices in Michigan and others in Florida, Kentucky, North Carolina and South Carolina, more than a dozen agents and special staff arrived at the Shelby Township location at 8 a.m. Thursday morning.
