The NHL and the NHL Player Association reached an agreement Friday night to move forward on a plan to resume the season, starting with a 24-team playoff. The season was suspended on March 12, as most teams had completed roughly 70 games of an 82-game schedule. The regular season was set to conclude in April, with the 16-team Stanley Cup Playoffs extending into early June. The resumption plan calls for 24 teams to participate in a playoff, while the bottom seven clubs would effectively have their seasons finished."The Executive Board of the National Hockey League Players¡¯ Association (NHLPA) has authorized further negotiations with the NHL on a 24-team return to play format to determine the winner of the 2020 Stanley Cup,¡± the NHLPA said in a statement. ¡°Several details remain to be negotiated and an agreement on the format would still be subject to the parties reaching agreement on all issues relevant to resuming play."Earlier this week, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said that the season could resume with games being played in centralized locations. This would eliminate the need for travel and additional exposure to the coronavirus among players and team personnel. Bettman said that access to tests will remain a key issue in resuming the NHL season. 1282

Thanks to social media and the help of people in Georgia ¨C police say two dine and dashers have been caught ¨C and claim they¡¯ll make it right.¡°It breaks your heart,¡± said Lisa Ritter, the manager at Big Daddy¡¯s Oyster Bar and Pub in Peachtree City, Georgia.Ritter says two people came in days before Christmas, spent hours at a table, racked up a huge tab, then took off.¡°If you can¡¯t afford to go out and eat, it¡¯s bad enough you don¡¯t get tipped well enough, waitresses only make .13 an hour, and it¡¯s really bad that they dine and dash,¡± Ritter added.She says this isn¡¯t the first time this has happened, and it probably won¡¯t be the last¡­but says it really hurts business.¡°We have to still pay for it,¡± Ritter said.Peachtree City police say the bill was more than 0, and they asked the community for help identifying the dine and dashers.¡°After we posted some photos on Facebook, we received an overwhelming response from numerous people providing identification information,¡± said Lt. Matthew Myers with the Peachtree City Police Department.Lt. Myers says they have been in contact with the alleged thieves and adds that you can face many criminal charges if you walk out on a bill.He also says it¡¯s not uncommon for establishments to make the server foot the bill.¡°There are instances where the waitresses have to pay for it, because if you¡¯re not checking on your tables, if you¡¯re horsing around, I could see that happening,¡± added Ritter.This time, they didn¡¯t make the waitress pay, but Ritter says the waitress was still stiffed.¡°She was very upset and crying,¡± Ritter said, ¡°They had been here for like four hours, that¡¯s her tip¡­that would have been like a tip.¡±Police say the dashers have contacted Big Daddy¡¯s and offered to make it right.That is yet to be finalized. 1803

The European Union has hit Google with another big antitrust fine, the third in a series of billion-dollar penalties the US tech giant has faced for hindering competition.The European Commission on Wednesday ordered Google to pay €1.5 billion (.7 billion) for abusing its dominant position in online search advertising."Google has cemented its dominance in online search adverts and shielded itself from competitive pressure by imposing anti-competitive contractual restrictions on third-party websites," Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said in a statement.The tech company has now been fined €8.2 billion (.3 billion) in total by Europe over the past three years.EU regulators have taken a much more robust approach to Big Tech companies than their US counterparts, especially when it comes to competition, data protection and tax issues.Google has already been fined in two previous EU antitrust cases.The Commission ordered the company to pay €4.34 billion (.9 billion) in July 2018 for unfairly pushing its apps on smartphone users and thwarting competitors.In 2017, it imposed a €2.4 billion (.7 billion) fine on Google for using its search engine to steer consumers to its own shopping platform.The company said in a blog post Tuesday that it was making further changes to its service based on "feedback" from the European Commission.It has started testing a new format that provides users with direct links to comparison shopping sites. It will also ask new and existing Android users in Europe which browser they'd like to use. 1555

The most distant world ever explored 4 billion miles away finally has an official name: Arrokoth.That means ¡°sky¡± in the language of the Native American Powhatan people, NASA said Tuesday.NASA¡¯s New Horizons spacecraft flew past the snowman-shaped Arrokoth on New Year¡¯s Day, 3 ? years after exploring Pluto. At the time, this small icy world 1 billion miles (1.6 billion kilometers) beyond Pluto was nicknamed Ultima Thule given its vast distance from us.¡°The name ¡®Arrokoth¡¯ reflects the inspiration of looking to the skies,¡± lead scientist Alan Stern of Southwest Research Institute said in a statement, ¡°and wondering about the stars and worlds beyond our own.¡±The name was picked because of the Powhatan¡¯s ties to the Chesapeake Bay region.New Horizons is operated from Johns Hopkins University¡¯s Applied Physics Lab in Laurel, Maryland. The Hubble Space Telescope ¡ª which discovered Arrokoth in 2014 ¡ª has its science operations in Baltimore.The New Horizons team got consent for the name from Powhatan Tribal elders and representatives, according to NASA. The International Astronomical Union and its Minor Planet Center approved the choice.Arrokoth is among countless objects in the so-called Kuiper Belt, or vast Twilight Zone beyond the orbit of Neptune. New Horizons will observe some of these objects from afar as it makes its way deeper into space.___The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives 1436
