In one scene of the trailer, Mando the Mandalorian, played by Pedro Pascal, is secretly watched by a hooded-figure who some fans thought was Rosario Dawson. However, that mysterious being is actually WWE wrestler Sasha Banks, and the confusion over the two actors caused quite the stir on social media shortly after the trailer dropped. “Lmao everyone on confusing Sasha Banks for Rosario Dawson in the new Mandalorian trailer,” one person wrote on Twitter....

Silver suggested the NBA was no closer to make a decision on when the season may resume or whether it will have to be canceled instead. “Based on the reports that we got from varied outside officials, current public health officials … we are not in a position to make any decisions,” Silver said in a conference call with media on Friday, which followed a video conference meeting with the NBA’s board of governors....

For what it’s worth, in the 18 runnings of the Preakness between 1979 and 1996, only four Derby winners got the job done at Pimlico, and so on into the mists of time. Still, no matter how the history is dissected, there is a segment of racing’s number-crunching community that insists the past can be taken as prelude when it comes to predicting the outcome of something as chaotically organic as a Thoroughbred horse race....

Now Gerstner is trying to buff his image with a book about how he turned IBM around. Like its author, the book is unusual, starting with its cover. Look at it. Normally, a star author like Gerstner looks you straight in the eye. But Gerstner is staring off the cover, and you see a lot of desk and window. This would get an F in Cover Design 101. What happened?...

Al Smith in 1924, so wonderfully oblivious to Wisconsin and Prohibition, was indeed what a future New York governor, FDR, called him, “the Happy Warrior.” Perhaps Smith’s provincialism-a trait of city slickers, especially New Yorkers-protected his happiness. When, four years later, he got nominated he got shellacked. New York’s current governor is the Grumpy Non-Warrior (so far; God may phone any day now). He spent last week aggrieved, denying he said what a tape recording proved he said about offering territorial concessions to Iraq....

The study published in the journal JAMA involved 252,745 women from four separate U.S. cohorts who were aged 57 on average. 38 percent said they applied powders such as talcum, baby or deodorizer to their genital area. Of those, 10 percent had used it long-term, which the team defined as at least 20 years. A further 22 percent administered it frequently, meaning at least once per week; once per week in the past year; or often between the ages of 10 and 13....

What lessons should we take away from this episode? Obviously, we should salute Colorado’s public-health officials. Their timely recognition of this outbreak likely prevented additional cases. But there’s a larger lesson: recalls are no panacea. While such actions are important, do they alter the risk regarding E. coli O157:H7 infection and our food supply? I’m afraid the answer is no. Most people desperately want to believe that someone else will look out for them....

Given four-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo had, rather remarkably, also been heckled by a small minority of the Santiago Bernabeu after missing a good chance during the second half, it was clear that the natives are restless right now. Isak - the Swedish sensation who rejected Real However, Zidane could be forgiven for thinking that his troops were entitled to a degree of sympathy. This, after all, is the same side that had broken Barcelona’s unbeaten record by avoiding defeat for 40 games before they eventually succumbed to Sevilla just over 10 days ago - and are still two points clear at the top of the Primera Division having played one game fewer than the Rojiblancos....

They ran out of gas, in spectacular fashion, with a lot of help from an inspired, aggressive and fearless Notre Dame team. The fourth-seeded, unranked Irish — defending tournament champions — erased a 16-point second-half deficit, forced overtime, and held on to knock the Blue Devils out, 84-79, at Verizon Center on Thursday afternoon.

NxGn: The top 50 teenage talents unveiled Messi scored twice in Sunday’s 4-2 La Liga victory over Valencia at Camp Nou, following up a first-half penalty with a low strike after the break. That double took the Argentina international’s goalscoring tally to 41 for this season, continuing his run of passing 40 in every year season since 2009-10. Luis Enrique was in awe of Messi’s latest accomplishment after the match and reiterated how much he will be missed by Barca after his playing days are over....

Melania Trump announced the move on Twitter Tuesday, calling it a “historic ‘Head of State’ auction,” along with a list of the items up for bid and linked to MelaniaTrump.com. The items up for auction include a hat from her personal collection worn during her time in the White House as well as a painting of her and a non-fungible token (NFT) featuring the painting of her. The hat, created by Herve Pierre was worn by Trump in 2018 during the official French State Visit....

The 2017-18 Lakers were a pleasant surprise. Not much was expected of a team coming off a 26-56 campaign with rookies like Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma and Josh Hart getting heavy minutes. In the eyes of many Lakers fans, last year’s season was a success, showing just how far the franchise has fallen in recent years.

Welcome to Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt’s house, as it is described, in slightly less lurid terms, in Doris Kearns Good-win’s new biography, “No Ordinary Time” (759 pages. Simon & Schuster. $30). Her account of the Roosevelts in wartime is a delicious read. At the same time, Goodwin, who has written studies of Lyndon Johnson’s presidency and the Kennedy family, offers a historical perspective on questions of character and leadership, as well as the role of the press, that has relevance to our more uncertain and prurient age....

Drogba out against Red Bulls The 35-year-old made his first appearance in over six weeks when the Blues suffered a 2-1 EFL Cup defeat to West Ham on Wednesday, the veteran defender having recovered from an ankle problem. Terry had been an unused substitute for Chelsea’s previous two matches and is expected to be back on the bench when Conte’s men travel to play Southampton on Sunday, with the Italian not giving the long-serving center back any special treatment....

Here are some options that may help: While too much immobilization is not a good idea, often the best way to do this is to temporarily stop or reduce the activities that cause you pain.

The move, approved Monday, protects sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, pregnancy and natural hairstyles from discrimination including within all companies with public and private employers. It also prevents discrimination against customers and those who visit public places of service. Religious organizations do not have to abide by the new LGBT protections ordinance.

When North Carolina blocked an expansion of Charlotte’s nondiscrimination ordinance it prompted a backlash that cost the state billions of dollars....
