There was getting the franchise quarterback signed to a long-term contract in drama-free fashion. There was building a roster for 2017 that has all the earmarks needed to win a Lombardi Trophy. This is the type of work that should have gotten Dave Gettleman a contract extension. Instead, he was fired. In an NFL offseason of shocking moves involving general managers — led by John Dorsey’s ouster in Kansas City last month and John Lynch’s hiring in San Francisco despite having no front-office experience — Gettleman’s dismissal Monday by Carolina takes the cake....

Florida finished with the best record in the NHL, going 58-18-6 en route to the top seed in the East and the Presidents’ Trophy. It owns the most dangerous offense in the league and is looking for the franchise’s first playoff series win since 1996. On the other side is a Capitals team that has mostly been forgotten about in a loaded Eastern Conference. They ended the season as the second wild-card team and are looking for their first playoff series win since winning the Stanley Cup in 2018....

The Role of the Lymph System The human body has an elaborate system of vessels and nodes that move a fluid called lymph to the tissues in the body. The lymph system is a major contributor to the body’s immune system, acting as a filter of sorts for foreign particles. Lymph fluid is made of water, salts, plasma proteins, and white blood cells. The lymph fluid from the intestine and liver is called chyle and contains more proteins and fats....

Solutions for Daycare for Deaf/HOH One solution for school-age children is a school-age child care program. Such programs may provide interpreters. One year my child had an interpreter/provider at the school-age child care program, but when school started, there was no interpreter/provider available. For younger children, child care is a real challenge. When my child was younger and attended a regular daycare center, there were no interpreting services available. Fortunately, the time spent in that daycare was brief....

The player in that spot has to be intelligent and versatile....

Fred Guttenberg told Newsweek that Bennett’s comment “pushes for the possibility of gun violence” and is just the latest example of why people should not be able to openly carry firearms in public. Bennett, a gun rights advocate, made the comment on Twitter after an appearance at Ohio University’s campus in Athens, Ohio, on Monday. She claimed that her visit had “started a riot”—which campus police denied. “I will absolutely be returning to @ohiou’s campus again, and next time I’ll bring an army of gun owners for an open carry walk through campus,” she later added on Twitter....

The website became popular among Republican politicians, conservative personalities and supporters of President Donald Trump in recent months by pitching itself as being a “free speech” alternative to mainstream services, primarily Twitter. Tolerance of Parler disappeared after January 6, when a large mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., a siege that claimed five lives. Citing a potential to incite violence, its app was pulled from Apple and Google’s stores and remains inaccessible at the time of writing....

People familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal about the Mercers’ ties to Parler—an American microblogging and social networking service launched in 2018 that has a significant user base of Trump supporters.

And it was a player on loan from Inter, Federico Dimarco, who scored a spectacular long-range goal to hand Parma its first win in the topflight after a fairytale rise through the divisions.

Pakistan are the only team without a loss in the T20 World Cup 2021. They have played five games, having won all of them quite convincingly. Only Afghanistan gave them a bit of competition until the penultimate over. The Men in Green beat India, New Zealand, Namibia and Scotland by big margins. Interestingly, five different members of the team have won the Player of the Match award so far, which speaks volumes about their overall contribution collectively as a team....

Batsman Babar is to lead his country in white-ball cricket for the 2020-21 season, the Pakistan Cricket Board confirmed on Wednesday when announcing the new list of central contracts for the upcoming campaign, which begins on July 1.
