“England has played well. But always they have fallen short at the last moment. It is a good team always. Pakistan and India are two teams that can defeat anyone. Australia is another great team. So, I think there are 4-5 teams that have the potential to win 2019 World Cup,” Richards said. Asked about the West Indies, he said the team has not shown the best form in recent years and hoped it would reach the top again....

“About two-thirds of all new HIV infections in the U.S. occur in gay and bisexual men, which represents one of the largest disparities in existent public health,” Demetre Daskalakis, director of the CDC’s Division of HIV Prevention, said in a Tuesday CDC medical briefing about the report. Gay and bi men accounted for 66 percent of all new HIV infections in 2019. Despite that, the number of new HIV infections among gay and bi men actually decreased by 8 percent over the last decade, according to a newly released CDC Vital Signs report, which dives deeply into issues surrounding a single disease....

During his professional wrestling career, Benoit worked for such major promotions as Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), and the World Wrestling Federation/World Wrestling Entertainment (WWF/WWE). Among other accolades, Benoit is a two-time world champion: a one-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, one-time World Heavyweight Champion (tied for third longest reign in history)....

So far this cycle, Barack Obama’s political opponents have called him a lot of things: Muslim, elitist, unpatriotic and–least flattering of all–“Barry.” But during today’s John McCain townhall in the Sheraton’s Royal Poinciana Ballroom here in sunny Miami, a middle-aged Cuban-American woman–“trained,” she said, “as a psychologist”–stood up and compared Obama to (ahem) Cuba’s retired Communist dictator Fidel Castro. “I’m seeing the same dreamy-eyed look as I saw among the Cuban youth 50 years ago, unquestioning all of the things that Senator Obama is saying and isn’t saying,” she said....

Scrolling through Twitter, I felt the tangible rage of my fellow reproductive justice colleagues and thought about all the people (read: men) who told us for years that abortion would never be taken away from American women, and we were all just being “hysterical.” The irony of being dismissed because of alleged hysteria is not lost on me. In fact, it’s the core argument of my book, The Pain Gap: How Sexism and Racism in Healthcare Kill Women, in which I urge women to redefine the term....

Harris, who was the first Black American, South Asian American and woman to be Vice President, entered the House chamber on Wednesday to applause before quickly taking the hand of the waiting Pelosi and then elbow-bumping her. House Speaker Pelosi is no stranger to breaking the glass ceiling, becoming in 2007 the first woman to sit on the same dais as a president, when former President George W. Bush addressed Congress....

To walk into an opera house is to defy both the hyperelitist strictures of Samuel Beckett (who called it “a hideous corruption” of music because it imposed the specificity of language on an abstract and “immaterial” flow of notes) and the Bronx cheers of Bugs Bunny (nobody who’s ever seen “What’s Opera, Doc?” will ever get rid of the image of Bugs with Brunnhilde’s braids). And last week it felt particularly distracting to walk across the plaza of Manhattan’s Lincoln Center and toward the Metropolitan Opera....

Here’s a comprehensive USA Today article on the mental health needs of women veterans: The overarching theme of the piece shows an increasing awareness of gender-specific issues women face both in the combat zone and on the home front. A look at the numbers presented: –More than 182,000 women have been deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan, or surrounding regions–about 11 percent of U.S. troops who have served there. –7,500 women (mostly nurses) served in Vietnam; 41,000 women deployed during the Gulf War....

Acquiring Oshie, along with free-agent signee Justin Williams, means that the Capitals overhauled their top six forwards — and really, their top nine. Oshie, like several other Caps forwards, can play center or wing. Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, Oshie, Williams, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Marcus Johansson, Andrei Burakovsky — those are seven skilled players. Fitting them in with Jason Chimera, Brooks Laich and others should sound pretty good if you’re a Caps fan....

Fielders have been rarely known to be inattentive during top level games such as these, and this is definitely the first time a player has been seen leaning on a fence instead of going for a regulation catch. After the visitors had declared overnight at 7-303, the inexperienced hosts were 3-169 in response when play was abandoned on day two due to rain – the highlight of the day being Jerome Taylor’s howler....

The Biden administration has already set ambitious goals for electrification, pursuing a half a million EV charging stations nationwide by 2030 despite having only a little over 50,000 currently installed. And while the federal government has allocated more than $7.5 billion to expand EV charging infrastructure, public investment and expansion alone just won’t cover the estimated $15 billion it will take to reach the president’s target. In order to best bridge this rather overwhelming gap, it is imperative that the U....

Gambhir has heaped praise on the Indian captain for becoming the fastest player to cross the 12,000 ODI-run mark in international cricket. Another feather in Virat Kohli’s cap During the third and final ODI against Australia at Canberra, Virat Kohli became the fastest batsman to cross the 12,000-run landmark in one-day cricket. Virat Kohli went past another India legend Sachin Tendulkar to achieve the milestone. While the Master Blaster needed 300 innings to cross the 12,000-run mark in the 50-over format, the current Indian captain got there in 241 innings....

Following Steve Smith’s involvement in the 2018 ball-tampering scandal in Cape Town, Aaron Finch was appointed captain in white-ball cricket while Tim Paine was given the reins in the longest format. Matthew Wade, who replaced the injured Finch in the second T20I, acknowledged that the team is full of leaders who successfully co-exist. Furthering the point, the wicketkeeper-batsman weighed in on Steve Smith getting back the Australian captaincy. ‘I almost feel like I restarted my career a couple of years ago,’ says Matthew Wade Matthew Wade was axed from Australia’s Test and T20 sides ahead of the 2017-18 Ashes, and the status didn’t change for two years....

Matthew Wade, who is leading the side in the absence of Aaron Finch, got his team off to a great start. Australia finished the powerplay at 59/1, and although their captain was dismissed in the 8th over for a 32-ball 58, they didn’t lose momentum. Glenn Maxwell played a brisk cameo in which he hit two sixes, while Steve Smith turned over the strike before unleashing a couple of big hits himself against Yuzvendra Chahal in the final 5 overs....
