When his younger brother, who was similarly moody, killed himself in 1999, Antonioni, then 40, decided to seek help. For three years, he clandestinely saw a therapist, paying in cash so there would be no record. He took antidepressants, but had his prescriptions filled at a pharmacy 20 miles away. His depression was his burden, and his secret. He couldn’t bear for his image to be any less than what he thought it should be....
Kristin Smart, 19, of Stockton, California, went missing in May 1996 after returning to her dorm at California Polytechnic State University campus in San Luis Obispo. The case received widespread attention from Chris Lambert’s Your Own Backyard podcast dedicated to investigating Smart’s disappearance, which he began in September 2019. The last person who was thought to have seen Smart alive was Paul Flores, 44, who was also a freshman at the time, when he offered to walk Smart back to her dorm....
Is this a clear-cut case of sexual discrimination? Sure–if Oncale were a woman. But he isn’t, and that’s the rub. Oncale’s federal sex-discrimination suit against Sundowner was dismissed by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. Oncale was treated outrageously, the court agreed, but it concluded that under federal law there’s no such thing as a man sexually discriminating against another man. This week the U.S. Supreme Court will hear Oncale’s appeal, and its decision in this legal thicket could decide an issue that’s starting to reverberate in the workplace....

Common Causes The causes of meningitis vary, although the most common causes are bacterial or viral infections, which you can catch by being around infected individuals through respiratory droplets. Other types of infections can occur as well, and they are more likely among people who do not have healthy immune systems, although infectious meningitis can affect anybody. Know, however, that although certain infections can cause meningitis, it is, in fact, an uncommon complication....
Garland’s name became a trending topic after a clip of Cruz making the remarks circulated on Twitter. Cruz was speaking against legislation introduced by a group of Democratic lawmakers last week, led by Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.). The bill would add new justices to the Supreme Court, with the likely practical effect of changing the ideological balance of court, something opponents have often referred to as “court packing....
Argentina arrived in Barcelona on May 31, with the location picked to make main man Lionel Messi feel at home. However, the team’s short stay in the city has been shrouded in controversy and commotion. Initially, the Argentine media complained of too much free time given to the players, while there were no press conferences at all during the entire trip. Argentina had been set to fly off to Israel on Thursday for their final friendly before travelling to Russia, but amid mounting pressure due to the political situation in the Middle East and threats to Messi in particular, the game was called off....
The meeting with their Catalan neighbours at Camp Nou is the first of three games in eight days for the league leaders, with a trip to Las Palmas and a potentially crucial showdown with Atletico Madrid to come next week.

Barca head to the Bernabeu to take on their old rivals with an 11-point lead from Madrid in the Liga table, Barca sitting six points clear from second-placed Atletico Madrid.

And Messi, who missed out on this year’s Ballon d’Or to Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo, is keen for Barcelona to go into the winter break on a high....

Messi opened the scoring with a brilliant free-kick at RCDE Stadium on Saturday, with Ernesto Valverde’s men looking to open up a three-point lead atop the table. That goal took him up to 10 for the season in the league, making him the first player to enter double figures in 13 consecutive La Liga seasons.

Messi 15/4 to be CL top scorer Messi, however, helped to break the deadlock with a corner that found Sergio Busquets’ head 49 minutes into the encounter.

‘Rooney has reached the end at Man Utd’ Messi is returning to the scene of his last goal against Madrid in the hope that he can arrest his current six-game Clasico goal drought. On that occasion, in March 2014, Messi netted a hat-trick to help his side to a memorable 4-3 victory against a ten-man Madrid side. Since then, however, Messi has found it much tougher and even failed to find the net in last season’s 4-0 rout of Madrid at the Bernabeu after coming on as a second-half substitute following his return from a long-term lay-off....

Kevin Pillar is one tough cookie. The Mets outfielder took a 94 mph fastball directly to the face in Monday night’s game vs. the Braves. He immediately went down, bleeding profusely from the nose, as the ball rocketed in the opposite direction. He got up and walked off under his own power after the training staff came out, though he was removed from the game. The Mets tweeted that he was at the hospital getting a CT scan....
