Tennis’ season-opening Grand Slam tournament was plunged into crisis Saturday when it was announced 47 players would be consigned to their hotel rooms for 14 days and not eligible to practice. Officials said the protocols were as a result of two passengers testing positive for the coronavirus on a flight from Los Angeles that arrived Friday morning, along with another passenger who flew in from Abu Dhabi. That affected 24 players aboard the LA flight and 23 on the plane from Abu Dhabi, while another positive test for a passenger arriving in Melbourne from Doha on Saturday morning has taken the total number of players affected to 72....

It’s important to note that music therapy is not the same as musical instruction. If your aim is to have your child build vocal or instrumental skills, you’ll need to find an instructor instead of or in addition to a music therapist. Why Music Therapy Might Be a Good Choice Music therapy may help people with autism to improve skills in areas such as communication, social skills, sensory issues, behavior, cognition, perceptual/motor skills, and self-reliance or self-determination....

Intimate correspondence like this usually doesn’t see light until long after a politician is dead and gone, or at least done with politics for good. Thompson apparently believed he had forever traded Washington for Hollywood when he agreed to put his eight years of Senate records, including personal correspondence, in a public archive at the University of Tennessee. The papers, which have gone largely unnoticed, offer an unusual glimpse at his life as a Washington fixture, and clues about how he might lead as a president—hints that might not please conservative voters who are intrigued by him but who know little about him....

Called Axiom Mission 1 or Ax-1, the mission will see four people—none of whom are currently professional astronauts—launch to space in a capsule attached to the top of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The crew consists of Michael López-Alegría, a Spanish-American former NASA astronaut who has already gone to space four times before and will serve as the mission commander; Larry Connor, a U.S. entrepreneur who will be the mission pilot; Mark Pathy, a Canadian entrepreneur and investor who will be a mission specialist; and Eytan Stibbe, an Israeli former fighter pilot and current investor who will also be a mission specialist....

The infants took a preparation of omeprazole, a drug used to treat conditions caused by excess stomach acid like heartburn. The batch was contaminated with minoxidil, a medication for baldness, according to a statement from the Spanish Ministry of Health, Consumer Affairs and Social Welfare. Manuel Fuentes of the Official College of Pharmacists of Granada explained to Granada Hoy the drugs are different to the omeprazole capsules taken by thousands of adults....

Ovitz captured the public imagination because he was an old-fashioned schmoozer-agent, the guy who made everyone think he was manipulating everything. He operated on charm and blue smoke. But at Disney–a multibillion-dollar company that markets lunchboxes to the world–this didn’t count for much. No-nonsense executives resented and resisted him. It was yet another reminder that the big entertainment companies now are run by nuts-and-bolts operating executives like Bill Mechanic of Fox, Frank Biondi of Universal, Jonathan Dolgen of Paramount....

Paul Jenkins, Mayor of the Canadian city of Bancroft, Ontario, confirmed the death of 23-month-old child Everett Smith on Monday, CBC News reported.

There’s something undeniably wholesome about watching a young child experiencing life’s simple pleasures for the first time. This is especially true when it comes to videos of young children experiencing new foods and flavors.

So, it’s hardly a surprise to see another clip of this kind garnering a lot of attention on Reddit; it’s funny, cute and tugs at the heartstrings....

The TikTok highlighting the play space is captioned, “Can you guess who the family favorite is? #grandchild #babiesoftiktok #playtown #thisiswhatdreamsaremadeof.” The viral clip shared by the baby’s mother has been viewed 16.8 million times and liked 3.3 million times since it was posted on March 15.

Qatani may not be the last witness to turn up on interrogation tapes. Another newly released document shows that the State Department permitted foreign intelligence services to question Gitmo detainees in June 2002 under the condition that the United States would record audio and video. It’s unclear how many of those tapes still exist. A spokesman for the U.S. military at Gitmo told NEWSWEEK that base officials are “not required to tape interrogations and did not routinely do so....

On the one hand, Robert Rauschenberg never seems to hurry when he’s home on Captiva Island–a densely populated winter hideaway for CEOs and celebrities off the southwest Florida coast. He smiles easily, speaks in a flannelly Texas drawl only partially blunted by his 40 years in the New York and international art worlds. He talks of looking forward to “the good old useless days.” On the other hand, Rauschenberg’s looks–thick wavy hair, slightly flattened features acknowledging his quarter-Cherokee heritage and clear hazel eyes–belie a man of 65....

In the face of this mess, a flat tax has so much appeal that I yearn to believe. But I have to sign on to the drawbacks laid out here last week by my colleagues Allan Sloan and Robert Samuelson (the plan’s numbers don’t add up; most of the tax cut goes to investors and the well-to-do; backers exaggerate the plan’s effect on growth). On the positive side, the tax on individuals is pretty clean....

Colonization occurs when microorganisms live on or in a host organism but do not invade tissues or cause damage. Colonization refers to the presence of microorganisms that can cause infection but not to the infection itself. Having these microorganisms present, however, increases the risk of infection if the right environment for infection occurs. Importance in Cystic Fibrosis People with cystic fibrosis are often colonized with bacteria, especially in the mucous and airways....

MORE: Leaderboard | Tiger Woods will not play | Tournament schedule To accommodate golf’s return to the Olympics, which start Aug. 5, the year’s final major moved from its traditional mid-August date to this week. No other major budged, of course, just the PGA. Henrik Stenson prepares for the 2016 PGA Championship.

The Cavaliers were hoping to have their second-leading scorer back for Thursday night’s game against Louisville, but Anderson has been ruled out for his eighth straight game. Anderson was averaging 13.4 points and 4.3 rebounds per game in his breakout junior season. It is still unknown whether or not he’ll be able to return for the ACC Tournament. Virginia (28-1, 16-1 ACC) is currently projected to be a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament....
