NEW YORK (AP) — A year from the largest World Cup ever, there has been no announcement on general ticket sales, prices for most seats, location of a draw or security arrangements as FIFA has mostly avoided disclosing details of an event set for 16 stadiums across the United States, Mexico and Canada.There is uncertainty about whether fans from some nations will be welcome — 11 of the venues are located in the U.S., where all matches will be played from the quarterfinals on.Security is a concern, too.

Defense attorney Alexander Shapiro has put further argument on the record about the defense mistrial motion, which Judge Arun Subramanian denied this morning. You’ll recall the motion was based on last week’s testimony of Bryana Bongolan, which defense attorneys said was “demonstrably” false. Shapiro accused Bongolan, a friend of Cassie Ventura’s, of perjury and said the government knew or should’ve known that the alleged balcony altercation with Combs couldn’t have occurred when Bongolan claims because Sean “Diddy” Combs and Ventura were not in Los Angeles at the time. Bongolan had testified that Combs held her over a 17-story balcony and…

All good buddy comedies come to an end. For President Donald Trump and first friend “Uncle Elon” Musk, theirs wrapped up with the same explosive fanfare upon which it started. But now their shared enthusiasm for cutting government waste has morphed into animosity for each other so deep and personal that it’s become a textbook case study in management gone wrong.In November, just after Trump’s reelection, I asked management experts if Musk could mimic his track record of juicing everything he could out of his lean companies to make the government run more efficiently. They were reluctant to doubt Musk…

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Falling behind early, parading to the penalty box and losing grip of their composure, the Edmonton Oilers find themselves in an all-too-familiar position: trailing the Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers.Not much went right for them in Game 3 on Monday night, a 6-1 blowout loss that put them down 2-1 in the series after taking the opener at home. Many of their 85 penalty minutes, the most by a team in the final in nearly four decades, came in garbage time, but there is far more concern about the mistakes that piled up to…
