The attack happened outside the island’s University Hospital Center as police attempted to escort the director and other staff to safety. The director lost consciousness for a short period during the incident, and the crowd ripped the deputy general director’s clothes, the hospital said, adding that urine was thrown at both of them. An executive assistant’s vehicle was also extensively damaged, officials said. “These deliberate abuses are unacceptable and intolerable,” Alexandre Rochatte, Guadeloupe’s prefect, said in a statement....

According to ESPN, Xenith, has decided to end its relationship with Brown. “We look forward to seeing the Xenith Shadow worn by football athletes at all levels of play this fall,” the company said in a statement.

“The surfaces in the Chicago facilities are the worst I’ve ever been around, I’m just gonna be honest with you,” Rolle told the New York Post. “I slipped on the surface, I wasn’t even running, I was just kind of shuffling and slipped.” MORE: Ranking all 31 NFL stadiums | Bears’ first-round picks since 2000 He echoed those comments during an appearance Monday on the “Spiegel and Goff Show” on 670 The Score....

FOX 17 reported on Thursday that the man is from “out of town and doesn’t want to be identified.” The news station noted that the victims of the flooding in Middle Tennessee include a toddler, a man who attempted to save a drowning elderly woman, two 7-month-old twins, and a woman who was swept away when she tried to warn neighbors. In the wake of the flooding in Tennessee, which began on Saturday, many have been raising funds for the families of victims who died in the disaster....

Domestic terrorists had never before used the diabolical tactic of a delayed second bomb, long part of the playbook in Belfast and Beirut. But otherwise the attack looked all too down home. The larger explosive “was a “bubba bomb’ “–the kind of crude, black-powder weapon most commonly built so far by right-wing radicals, one investigator told NEWSWEEK. The first question, he said, is whether the new nail bomb matches one used in the July 27 bombing at Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park....

Just two weeks after Jacques Nasser lost his job as Ford’s CEO, Ron Zarrella today announced he is resigning as head of General Motor’s North American car business to become CEO of Bausch & Lomb, the eye-care company he came to GM from seven years ago. Zarrella’s departure comes just three months after GM CEO Rick Wagoner recruited the highly regarded former Chrysler president Bob Lutz to become the General’s product czar....

Hamilton’s hopes of claiming a fifth successive win at Silverstone were severely dented when he made a poor start from pole on Sunday, before being hit by the Ferrari of Raikkonen at turn three. The reigning world champion recovered impressively to claim second behind Sebastian Vettel, with Raikkonen - who was handed a 10-second penalty as a result of the incident - ultimately taking third. After the race, Mercedes team principal Wolff was quick to reference the fact Valtteri Bottas was taken out by Vettel on lap one of last month’s French Grand Prix....

The guessing may finally be over. Writing in the journal Science last week, researchers at the National Institute of Al- lergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) identified a previously unknown coreceptor, a cell-surface appendage that they’ve dubbed ““fusin.’’ Their findings suggest that although HIV can’t invade cells by means of the CD4 receptor alone, it readily infects those displaying both CD4 and fusin. ““We would have been happy just to know what the cofactor was,’’ says virologist Edward Berger, who led the team....

Both the Bucks, the number one team in the East, and the Celtics – the team many thought would be number one by season’s end — started out sloppily, likely shaking off the All-Star break cobwebs. But they both came alive in the fourth quarter, swapping big defensive plays and clutch baskets to trade the lead several times in the final few minutes. Giannis Antetokounmpo, who scored 30 and had 13 rebounds, made the play of the game down the stretch, chasing down Jayson Tatum to emphatically block a layup....

Speaking to Game Informer, Anthem lead producer Mike Gamble spoke about BioWare’s decision briefly, saying, “The romantic stuff, we’re moving away from that for Anthem.” Instead, Gable says BioWare will focus on something like will likely fit better into the online world of Anthem much more naturally: friendships. It’s funny that in describing friendships they mention the Garrus scene, which was a key part of FemShep’s romance with Garrus. Still, the messaging is clear....

Fauci, who is director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), told CBS’ Face the Nation on Sunday that it was “too soon to tell” if people could gather for Christmas and emphasized the need to get the number of COVID-19 cases down. However, Fauci clarified those remarks during an appearance on CNN on Monday where he said the comments had been “misinterpreted” and encouraged Americans to have a “normal Christmas....

The huge sum, which is said to be part of a 50-50 purse split between the heavyweight fighters, will be the largest payday Joshua has received in a career that has made the Londoner a multi-millionaire. It is also around 20 times more than Joshua earned for his first world title shot, when he beat Charles Martin in April 2016. How much money has Joshua landed from his previous fights?...

In speaking with Sporting News last month before his fight vs. Luis Ortiz, Wilder didn’t feel confident the fight would happen because Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn doesn’t want it to happen. The longtime promoter not only disagrees with Wilder’s assessments but says his fighter wants to settle the score with the American heavyweight. MORE: SN’s boxing pound-for-pound rankings — Which heavyweight makes the top 10? “There’s no one in the world of boxing than Anthony Joshua wants to fight more than Deontay Wilder,” Hearn told Sporting News....

The France international has admitted that his primary focus is to tone his muscle and that is one of the main reasons he looks to avoid weight training while he is in the gym. “In truth, I don’t really enjoy doing weights in the gym too much – I don’t do an awful lot of it, really. I do a little bit just for muscle tone more than anything, but not a huge amount,” Martial told United’s official website....

In a video shared to Telegram on Monday, Witcher said hospital officials asked him to leave his post in the emergency room after he took three patients off of remdesivir—a COVID-19 medication approved by the FDA—and replaced it with ivermectin—an anti-parasite medication that has not been approved for the treatment of COVID-19 by the FDA. “I was aware I was going against the hospital policy on ivermectin but still felt like, as the treating physician of these patients, that I had that option,” Witcher said in the video, reviewed by the Sun Herald newspaper....

Anticholinergic drugs can be beneficial in treating a wide array of health conditions ranging from allergies and depression to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and Parkinson’s disease. However, given the extent of anticholinergic effects, these drugs can affect the body negatively too. Side effects of anticholinergics include blurred vision, impaired coordination, and bowel leakage, to name a few. Long-term use is linked to dementia. This article discusses different anticholinergic drugs, how they work, and how they are used....

Because that’s it, that’s the story. Yes, the Stars had goals from depth players like Joel Hanley and Joel Kiviranta, but when you’re facing a high-powered team like the Lightning in the Stanley Cup Final, you need your goaltender to be at the top of his game. And Khudobin was as he backstopped Dallas to a 4-1 Game 1 victory on Saturday. “He’s been a rock for us all playoffs,” said Blake Comeau, who had an assist on Jason Dickinson’s empty-netter late in the third....

The 22-year-old was the exclamation point on a summer during which new Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag attempted to upgrade the squad in the hope of injecting new life into a club coming off its worst Premier League finish. Alongside bringing in Christian Eriksen and Real Madrid’s Casemiro, Ten Hag raided his former club Ajax, for Lisandro Martinez and Antony. Martinez has enjoyed a solid first month in Manchester, but Antony faces the prospect of performing under the pressure of a £90....
