But elusive from the fray was Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who continues to try and coral support for a stimulus worth less than $500 billion—a narrow relief bill that top Senate Republicans have unsuccessfully tried to pass for months....

Mounting evidence suggests that these devices are successful in significantly improving prognosis for those with GBM. Uses As noted above, the Optune device is indicated to treat glioblastoma.

“These federal forces are beating, tear gassing and detaining my neighbors,” Wyden said. “If the line is not drawn in the sand right now, America may be staring down the barrel of martial law in the middle of a presidential election.” Wyden, a Democrat, addressed his concerns to Patrick Hovakimian, an associate deputy attorney general at the U.S. Department of Justice whom President Donald Trump nominated in May to become the new general counsel for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence....

The players met up for the second time with their last match going deep in Hobart last year which saw Schmiedlova edge Bencic for a spot in the final. Despite the defeat, the Swiss star surged in 2019, winning championships in Dubai and Moscow as well as going far at the US Open. With good prep in Shenzhen and Adelaide, the world number seven would do her best to even the series with the Slovakian....

Gauff announced herself on the international stage by stunning Williams at Wimbledon last year and the 15-year-old repeated the feat in straight sets in Melbourne on Monday. Making her Australian Open main draw debut, Gauff defeated 39-year-old former world number one Williams 7-6 (7-5) 6-3. “My mission is to be the greatest. That’s my goal, to win as many grand slams as possible,” Gauff told reporters after Williams said “the sky is the limit” for her countrywoman....

The 26-year-old will take on former World No.1 and Grand Slam Champion Garbine Muguruza for a chance to enter the third round of her home Slam for the first time in her career. And while Tomljanovic succumbed to a tame 3-6, 0-6 loss to Muguruza the last time that these two met, the Australian would fancy her chances tomorrow. And that’s mostly owing to a vulnerable opposition. Muguruza is not the force that she used to be, say two years ago and has suffered regular losses to lower-ranked opponents....

Whilst the men’s singles draw is arguably more predictable, largely due to the dominance of the Big 3, the women’s singles draw is a lot more open. Over the last decade, women’s tennis hasn’t boasted the of the ‘Golden Era’ that men’s tennis has. Serena Williams ruled the game for the majority of it unchallenged and no one posed a real threat to her consistently. Since her last title in 2017, however, the 23-time Grand Slam champion has seen her dominance vanish in front of her eyes, as other players have taken all of the spoils....

Autism strikes in childhood, but as thousands of families like the Boronats have learned–and thousands more are destined to learn–autism is not simply a childhood disorder. Two decades into the surge of diagnoses that has made autism a major public health issue, a generation of teenagers and young adults is facing a new crisis: what happens next?

Now GM has to keep moving forward–even without Kerkorian as back-seat driver. GM is farther down the road to recovery than its crosstown rivals, who are hemorrhaging billions while GM is merely losing millions. And analysts say Wagoner owes some thanks to Kerkorian for that. Sure, the two probably parted ways because Wagoner wouldn’t go along with Kerkorian’s ambitious plan to align GM with France’s Renault and Japan’s Nissan, creating a car colossus controlling a quarter of the world’s auto market....

Teams that overperform their metrics usually (but not always) regress the following season. Fast forward to 2014-15 and the Avs appear to have done that.

They remain out of a playoff spot, but by six points to the Flames as of Feb....
