Trump is scheduled to visit Owens & Minor, a medical equipment company in Allentown in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley. The company has been selected by the federal government to produce some 600 million N95 respirator masks over the next year and a half.

The announcement comes after a conference call of the league’s Board of Governors on Friday. “After a lengthy review process, the American Hockey League has determined that the resumption and completion of the 2019-20 season is not feasible in light of current conditions," Andrews said....

Bryan’s attorney Kevin Gough filed a request for a hearing on the matter in Glynn County Superior Court in Georgia on December 31, First Coast News reported. Gough wrote that 51-year-old Bryan has had “uncontrolled” high blood pressure since his arrest and detention last year, despite treatment at the Glynn County Detention Center. “He has already seen a cardiologist, and is medicated, but the sporadic checks of his blood pressure regularly reflect blood pressure in excess of 180/100,” Gough wrote....

Former District Attorney Jackie Johnson on Thursday was indicted on charges of violation of oath of a public officer, and could potentially face up to five years in prison.

Johnson was also charged with obstruction of a police officer, which is a misdemeanor that is punishable to up to 12 months in jail....

Fucci, 14, is accused of stabbing Bailey more than 100 times on Mother’s Day. The Florida teen was arrested the next day and charged with second-degree murder. Prosecutors have since upgraded the charge because of evidence that indicated premeditation. A dozen reports from investigators and the medical examiner were released Wednesday by the Seventh Judicial State Attorney’s Office. The documents include more information about the night Bailey was killed and the days that followed, including police interviews with family and friends....

Fucci appeared confused and disoriented on a video feed from the Duval County jail during a pre-trial Wednesday court appearance. In the video, obtained by News4Jax, the teenager sits alone in a room before picking up a phone while looking around aimlessly and rocking back and forth. “I won’t let you demons take my soul,” Fucci is heard muttering at one point. “Please don’t let the demons take my soul....

According to The Gazette — which learned of the incident from an Air Force official speaking on condition of anonymity — West Point cadets removed the gyrfalcon from a colonel’s home as part of Army-Air Force prank week. While the animal was being kept in the cadets’ care, it reportedly suffered an injury to a wing. The same official said Aurora’s injury could necessitate its euthanization.

The host shared the find on her TikTok channel, @thevrconsultantsultans, after she went to the property, in the Poconos, Pennsylvania, earlier this December. “They threw away gold,” the onscreen caption says. The property is “The Cozy Cabin,” as advertised on Blue Penguin Properties. The description does state: “We offer a fully equipped kitchen stocked with cooking essentials in addition to all dishes, utensils and cookware.” The woman, called Jenny Radick, told the camera: “Are you ready for how bougie were your last AirBnB guests, lake house edition?...

The bill, which he is calling the “Safe Travels Act,” would also require all airport and Amtrak employees and contractors to show proof of vaccination or submit to weekly COVID testing. “Requiring airport and Amtrak travelers and employees to provide a proof of COVID vaccine or negative test is just common sense,” Representative Beyer said in a press release. “These are easy steps we can take to make travel safer, as companies like United have already demonstrated with responsible policy changes....

Man Utd star to miss final due to tattoo The centre-back is just 17 years and 285 days old, and has progressed through the club’s youth ranks. Starting off with the Under-18 side, de Ligt has since played at Under-19, Under-21 and senior level, making 22 appearances for the first-team. The defender has scored three goals, and will hope to add to that tally as the Dutch side go in search of glory against Jose Mourinho’s men....

The 29-year-old took the first set against Elena Rybakina, before dropping the next two in a 4-6 6-2 6-3 defeat. Tomljanovic had defeated some quality opponents during her run to the quarters, knocking off the likes of Barbora Krejcikova and Jil Teichmann. But speaking to the media after her exit from Wimbledon, the first question she was asked was about her former partner Nick Kyrgios, who is set to face court in August over assault allegations....

Gore responded to the Monday publishing of a “deafening” United Nations climate change report which bluntly stated that human activities are “unequivocally” causing Earth’s temperature to rise. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC, released perhaps its most urgently worded report which warned that some current man-made damage to the Earth might become irreversible in a matter of years. The report and numerous activists, including Gore, have stressed the need for immediate worldwide decarbonization....

PSG claimed an emphatic 3-0 win in Paris on Wednesday as former boss Carlo Ancelotti’s return to the French capital ended miserably thanks to Edinson Cavani and the world’s most expensive player. Neymar 14/1 to be CL top scorer After a spat over penalty-taking duties Cavani and Neymar renewed their strike partnership, and both stars were on target against the Bundesliga champions following Dani Alves’ second-minute opener at Parc des Princes....

At last, it seemed, they knew. For nearly a year, the question loomed: had bin Laden been killed in the devastating U.S. bombing campaign, or had he somehow managed to escape and lie low, possibly in the lawless border region between Afghanistan and Pakistan? Some audio experts said the sound quality on the tape was too poor for a 100 percent match. But technical analysts at the secretive National Security Agency believe it would have been almost impossible for even the most skilled Qaeda hoaxter to convincingly cut and paste the message together from bits of old bin Laden speeches and broadcasts....

It can blame the fact its defense — ravaged by injuries all season and down four key contributors against the Tigers — is the youngest and most inexperienced ever under Nick Saban. It can blame the fact it was without star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who was lost for the season against Mississippi State. It can blame a controversial last-second Auburn field goal before halftime, which proved the final difference in a wild Iron Bowl....

Only, this wasn’t a penalty. Fitzpatrick smacked Francois a full step inside the lines before lowering his shoulder, and the refs picked up the flag.

After an offseason crystallized by the replay of Clemson’s Deshaun Watson-to-Hunter Renfrow in last year’s College Football Playoff championship game, No....

We’ll run down the list of honorable mentions. That list includes Clemson, which beat Louisville 77-16 and rushed for 492 yards. Michigan limited Penn State to 186 total yards in a 42-7 drubbing, and likely will move into the top four in the next set of College Football Playoff rankings. West Virginia went for two and the win, Notre Dame won by 10 at Northwestern and Georgia won the SEC East....

One of the more entertaining parts is when a caller by the name of Phyllis calls to talk about Alabama. One can imagine her disappointment after her team lost to Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl. On the bright side, she does sound encouraged. The loss stung to Alabama fans, but the Crimson Tide are good and won’t be going away anytime soon. MORE: Amazing bowl photos | FSU players’ cars vandalized | Oregon gets Ohio State...

According to a release (via tidesports.com) from athletic director Bill Battle, the school is working to erect statues for the program’s two Heisman winners, former running backs Mark Ingram and Derrick Henry. MORE: Heisman odds heading into Rivalry Week The school did not announce a timetable for when the statues would be finished. They will be placed along the school’s “Walk of Champions” outside Bryant-Denny Stadium. The school already has statues for its national championship-winning coaches (including current coach Nick Saban) and a pair of unnamed players with the numbers “18” and “92” — representative of the football program’s inaugural year — in the same area....
