Tippett was asked how he would imagine the season would resume, trying to look back at notes he took during the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season as a guide. He said this is a different situation since he knows the players already. “It’s not as if it’s a new season, but you’re going to have to get up and going pretty quickly,” Tippett said. “I look at our team, driven by the core players there, I think we can get up and running pretty quickly....
Poile's Nashville Predators on Wednesday sent Hendricks, a 32-year-old bottom-sixer on a long-term deal, to the Oilers for goalie Devan Dubnyk, who's a pending free agent and, at minimum, a good fill-in for Pekka Rinne. It's an obvious win for Nashville, who still have too many third- and fourth-line forwards and certainly didn't need Hendricks. The Oilers, apparently, think they need him — they've been on a quest to get tougher, and Hendricks fits at least that bill....

The comments were made during a meeting of the House Public Health Committee on Wednesday while the committee was considering several anti-abortion bills. “This is a cause of even greater import because it deals with innocent, unborn life,” Olsen said, comparing the cause of abortion to Great Britain’s fight to end slavery.

The Mariners will head north to McDonald Jones Stadium sitting ninth in the A-League table and start Round 21 five points adrift of sixth-placed Western Sydney Wanderers. Newcastle are seventh and three points behind Western Sydney, and Okon reckons neither Central Coast nor the Jets can afford to lose this weekend if they want to finish the regular season in the top six and qualify for the finals. “It comes at a time for both clubs where if they have any hopes of making the finals, it’s a game that both teams will want to win,” Okon said on Friday....

Dr. George Hodel was a charismatic but domineering Hollywood physician. His son claims that the doctor, who died in 1999, had an affair with Short before killing her–and may have committed a dozen other unsolved murders, covered up by the LAPD. (As a specialist in venereal diseases, his son says, Hodel kept files so embarrassing as to make him untouchable by the law.) In 1949, he was tried for incest with Steve’s half sister; he was acquitted, and the family dismissed her as a pathological liar....
