He hit the 100-point mark in his 53rd game and finished with 105 points in 56 games, 21 points ahead of teammate Leon Draisaitl, the league’s No. 2 scorer.

McDavid, whose strong play helped the Oilers clinch second place in the North Division, previously won the Hart Trophy in 2016-17 and won the player vote in 2016-17 and 2017-18.

'Counting On' canceled by TLC as Josh Duggar's child pornography trial gets postponed

0

TLC has canceled the reality show “Counting On” following Josh Duggar‘s indictment on child pornography charges earlier this year.

The network’s vice president of publicity Nikki Lichterman confirmed to USA TODAY Tuesday that TLC will not produce additional seasons of series, which began in 2015.

“TLC feels it is important to give the Duggar family the opportunity to address their situation privately,” Lichterman added.

The Duggar family rose to fame with the TLC show “19 Kids and Counting,” which chronicled the personal lives of Arkansas parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and their children. TLC canceled “19 Kids and Counting” in 2015 following a sexual abuse scandal involving the couple’s eldest son Josh, who later also admitted to a porn addiction and cheating on his

Investigators battling time, weather and fire to gather DNA to identify Surfside condo collapse victims

0

Emergency crews at the site of a collapsed South Florida condo aren’t just battling summer weather, smoldering fire and dangerous debris in their race to find 149 unaccounted-for victims. They’re fighting time, heat, water and other factors that will make it harder to identify the dead.

The longer the search takes, the more likely it is that human remains will have decomposed significantly, making DNA identification more challenging, experts say.

On Tuesday, searchers completed the sixth day of painstaking work since the collapse. Officials say they consider it a rescue mission, not a recovery. However, no one has been found alive since Thursday amid the piles of broken and pulverized concrete, twisted metal, and dangling debris.

US justice department’s battle to extradite Meng Wanzhou from Canada has taken a fresh turn as lawyers for Huawei’s chief financial officer claimed that internal emails and bank documents prove there is no grounds to extradite her to the US.

The US accuses Huawei of using a Hong Kong shell company called Skycom to sell equipment to Iran in violation of US sanctions. It says Meng, 48, committed

House to vote on bill to remove Confederate statues from the Capitol

0

WASHINGTON: The House on Tuesday will vote on a bill that would remove Confederate statues from the U.S. Capitol, including a bust of a former Supreme Court chief justice.   

The legislation would require states to remove and replace any statues honoring members of the Confederacy in the National Statuary Hall Collection in the Capitol by prohibiting “persons who served as an officer or voluntarily with the Confederate States of America or of the military forces or government of a State while the State was in rebellion against the United States” from the collection.

The House passed similar legislation last year, but it stalled in the Republican-controlled Senate. It faces a greater chance of passage now that Democrats hold the majority.
