The NBA Players Association has agreed to a plan to resume play, with a 22-team tournament acting as the league’s postseason. When the season would resume isn't exactly clear.The NBA and Commissioner Adam Silver are expected to formalize the agreement next week, the league said. Silver previously said that it plans on utilizing ESPN’S Wide World of Sports facility in Orlando, Florida. The MLS is also expected to utilize the facility starting next month for a six-week tournament featuring the entire league. "The Board of Player Representatives of the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) has approved further negotiations with the NBA on a 22-team return to play scenario to restart the 2019-20 NBA season. Various details remain to be negotiated and the acceptance of the scenario would still require that all parties reach agreement on all issues relevant to resuming play," the NBPA said in a statement.As America’s pro basketball and soccer leagues have hammered out plans on returning to play, MLB and its union are still in negotiations on how to play out the 2020 season. The league and players are far apart on deciding both the length of the season, and revenue sharing. It is unclear if there even will be a 2020 MLB season based on the disagreement. 1287

The first case of Wuhan coronavirus has been confirmed in the United States, the CDC said Tuesday.According to the CDC, the patient had returned from a visit to the Wuhan province of China on Jan. 15. The virus, which causes respiratory illnesses, including pneumonia, has now infected 300 people around the world and killed six people in five countries. Most of those cases occurred in Hubei province of China and other eastern Asian countries.Initially, scientists believed that the virus only spread from animals — including camels, cats and bats — to people. On Tuesday, the CDC said there's now a "growing consensus" that there is "limited" person-to-person contraction of the virus.The CDC began screening for the virus at international airports in San Francisco, New York and LAX last week. The CDC will begin testing for the virus at airports in Atlanta and Chicago this week.Correction: An earlier version of this story mentioned the sickened person had died. A person has only been infected with the disease and is still alive. 1049

The alleged victims of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein are angry they will not get the opportunity to face in court the man they say raped them as girls."We have to live with the scars of his actions for the rest of our lives, while he will never face the consequences of the crimes he committed, the pain and trauma he caused so many people," Jennifer Araoz, who accused Epstein of raping her when she was 15, said in a statement.The multimillionaire hedge fund manager's death from an apparent suicide Saturday in his cell ends the criminal case against him, but what does that mean for his accusers' quest for justice?Authorities have said they will continue to investigate Epstein's alleged actions, and US Attorney General William Barr said Monday the case "will continue on against anyone who was complicit with Epstein." At the same time, legal experts say the civil cases against Epstein, and anyone connected to the allegations in the case, will continue."It is a shame that Epstein will not face justice, and the survivors in this case will not have the satisfaction of his conviction," Scott Berkowitz, president of RAINN -- one of the largest anti-sexual violence organizations in the nation -- told CNN. "However, reporting has made clear that there were others who aided and abetted Epstein in his crimes, and we hope that the US attorney will continue to pursue those individuals. Epstein's death should not let them off the hook."Two unnamed accusers asked a federal judge to roll back a nonprosecution agreement that Epstein reached in 2008 in Florida, which provided immunity to his alleged co-conspirators, according to a court document filed Monday in 1691

The Humane Society of the United States went undercover, investigating animal testing at one of the largest contract research organizations in the world. Officials found dozens of beagles and hounds that were force-fed fungicides to test a new pesticide product at a lab in Michigan.The undercover video is hard to watch. "In some cases, the animals are forced to ingest substances either by putting a gel capsule down their throats or with a tube,” Kathleen Conlee, vice president of Animal Research Issues at the Humane Society of the United States, can be heard saying in the undercover video. For some, it’s hard to fathom. However, Conlee says this kind of animal testing happens more often than we think. "There are about 60,000 dogs at about 350 facilities in the United States right now, and I think the public is very shocked to learn that it's at that scale,” Conlee says. And that's just dogs. Conlee explains when you factor in all animals, the number being used for testing is closer to 25 million per year. "That's warm-blooded animals that doesn't include fish, reptiles, amphibians," she explains. In this case out of Michigan, 36 beagles were being used to test pesticides for a company called Dow Chemical Company. It’s a practice that is not against the law. "The company is doing legal activities,” Conlee says. “Nothing illegal was happening." Often times, Conlee says federal agencies like the FDA and EPA request animal tests to approve products or provide funding for experiments. Most recently, the U.S.D.A. was under fire by a separate animal watchdog group for alleged "kitten cannibalism,” where they report experiments involving feeding kittens to dogs. These are practices Conlee says should stop."We're going to be calling on these agencies to change their practices,” she says. 1826
