The 12-story residential Surfside building collapsed early on Thursday morning, in a matter of seconds. At least nine people are dead and more than 150 are missing. Search teams with specially trained dogs have been searching for survivors, with dozens pulled from the rubble, as reported by the BBC. The Broward Sheriff’s Office dedicated a Facebook post to Battalion Chief Nichole Notte and Dig, who have been working tirelessly to find survivors in the debris....

With his New Age musings and open wallet, Tompkins, 52, figured Chileans would decorate him for being a good guy. After a 10-year economic boom, the South American nation of 14 million has discovered environmentalism. Last year it even adopted a law encouraging private investors to create nature preserves. But Tompkins’s effort to preserve a sizable slice of paradise has stirred up a firestorm. A Roman Catholic archbishop has called him an anti-Christian pagan; a weekly magazine tags the park Tompkins’s “independent republic”; neo-Nazis are spreading anti-Semitic tracts around southern Chile and claiming that Tompkins is plotting to turn his acreage into a Jewish state–despite the fact that Tompkins is not Jewish....

Messi, Ronaldo & the Golden Shoe leaders As wonderful a cup final it was, Sunday’s Wembley clash was hardly an epic United performance. And while there was a clear difference in energy levels due to the Red Devils’ heavy workload in recent weeks at a time when Southampton have been on holiday, this was a reminder of how far United still have to come as much as it was a barometer of Mourinho’s work to this point....

The congresswoman’s office said she believed “she was exposed during protective isolation in the U.S. Capitol as a result of insurrectionist riots” and announced she received a positive rapid antigen test result for the virus in a statement made Monday. “Following the events of Wednesday, including sheltering with several colleagues who refused to wear masks, I decided to take a Covid test,” Watson Coleman tweeted. “I have tested positive.”...

The Gunners ran riot over the Belarusian Premier League champions in the Emirates Stadium with Mathieu Debuchy, Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere and Olivier Giroud all registering their names on the scorersheet. Elneny who played all of the six Europa League group stage games scored his second ever goal for Arsene Wenger’s men – after his Champions League strike against Barcelona in March 2016, thanks to Jack Wilshere’s assist. The 25-year-old who joined the north London outfit from Basel in January 2016, put the icing on the cake with his curling effort in the 74th minute....

On the flight home, Mrs. Bush says she’s bothered by her image as a traditional 1950s housewife, Harriet to George Bush’s Ozzie. “There is a certain group of reporters and columnists who want to portray me like that and really don’t know anything about me,” she says. The stereotype is derived partly because of her “women’s jobs” as a teacher and a librarian, she thinks–but “why women would not value those jobs, I don’t know....

The unidentified sailor had been admitted to intensive care in a U.S. Navy hospital in Guam on Thursday as his symptoms from COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, worsened.

Friday night’s game against the Pistons was the third that Anthony has missed due to knee soreness. It was also the first time that Fisher acknowledged that Anthony may consider sitting out the remainer of the season. “From the conversations I’ve been a part of, I think everybody is smart enough to realize, calendar wise, timing wise, that there may come a point that that’s the decision that needs to be made,” Fisher said....

J.P. Robinette was out on Fort Loudoun Lake, Louisville, Tennessee, with his dad, Joe Robinette, when they came across the “buried treasure.” J.P. 22, who made the incredible find on Monday, explained to Newsweek the water level of the lake is exceptionally low at this time of year. He said: “My dad’s line snagged on something in the water so he stepped out onto a protruding rock, maybe six feet off the shore, to try and free his lure....

There are several causes of fistulas, including abscesses, surgery, and Crohn’s disease. Symptoms depend on the location of the fistula. A fistula between the intestine and bladder, for example, may cause cloudy or bloody urine and urinary tract infections. Fistulas must be treated, but the extent of treatment needed—which can range from medication to surgery—depends on the severity.

Early signing period and redshirt exemptions? Just kidding. Realignment and expansion. We’re just three years into the College Football Playoff era and several years away the final year of the initial 12-year contract in 2025, but the topic remains as juicy as ever in 2017. MORE: Top 25 quarterbacks for 2017 Will we see another round of conference expansion and/or realignment among the Power 5 conferences? If so, which conferences and/or schools will be involved?...

The Packers and Chiefs are the favorites in the 2022 NFL playoffs, but the Buccaneers, as the NFC’s No. 2 seed, are right behind them. Tampa Bay won Super Bowl 55 as a wild card to end Brady’s first season there, but everything fell into place in their successful four-game run. That will no doubt be difficult to duplicate vs. another strong field of contenders. The Buccaneers also have their share of new challenges, balancing out the advantage of having two home playoff games before the Super Bowl this time....

Five Things we learned from Liga MX Round 4 The game also will help Osorio build a squad for the Gold Cup. With Mexico also contesting the Confederations Cup this summer, Osorio will send a group made up mostly of players not included in the strongest team.

Critics might think the title I’ll Take Your Questions Now is a tad fanciful, given Grisham never held a televised news briefing, but she is considered a “consummate Trump insider” and one of the “Trump originals,” according to The Washington Post. Her 352-page parting shot from the White House—which she quit in the wake of the January 6 riot by Trump supporters—includes choice tidbits about the former president’s conduct on the world stage and his complicated family life....
