Serbs cooperating with Croats? Only months ago such an unholy alliance would have been unthinkable, even in the Balkans, where political ties, like cease-fires, are routinely made and broken in the same week. Croats and Serbs have been on opposite sides of three particularly brutal conflicts in the past 50 years. Lately, though, they have found a common enemy: the Muslims. It’s no coincidence that SerbCroat military collaboration comes on the heels of a joint proposal by Belgrade and Zagreb to partition Bosnia along ethnic lines-in effect, creating Greater Serbia and Greater Croatia, while leaving two land-locked Muslim enclaves....

The study, which was published by the Science journal on Thursday, suggest that the conference held by Biogen, was a “super spreading event early in the pandemic.” Dozens of different academic and medical organizations helped conduct the study, including the Broad Institute of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. From February 26 to 27, Biogen held a conference at the Marriott Long Wharf hotel, and according to the study, shortly after, “Public health investigation with contact tracing identified approximately 100 cases associated with this conference, raising suspicion that a superspreading event had occurred there....

Tsarnaev was convicted in 2015 after he and his brother Tamerlan set off two bombs at the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon. Three individuals were killed in the blasts, including an eight-year-old boy. At least 264 people were injured in the explosions. Tsarnaev’s death penalty was reversed after a panel of three judges found that the original judge in the trial did not properly vet jurors for biases against Tsarnaev....

The 26-year-old is one of four NBA players who will take part in the National COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma Project, an experimental treatment that doctors hope could help high-risk patients recover from the virus. According to a memo obtained by ABC News, the NBA has written to the physicians of the 30 franchises on Sunday to encourage players who have recovered from COVID-19—the disease caused by the new strain of coronavirus—to take part in the treatment....

“I think it’s terrific, and we’ve got some work to do,” Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker told the Boston Herald. Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker; Boston Mayor Martin Walsh (Getty Images) And one not without questions. Take, for example, these comments from Boston radio station WEEI’s website: Yes, the Red Sox are in their most successful era since Babe Ruth wore their flannels. The Celtics aren’t close to their best, it’s true, and the Bruins are in a middling NHL season....

Young sustained the concussion and whiplash in a car accident before last month’s NBA draft. The Celtics chose the 6-foot-6 swingman 17th overall with its second first-round pick — Boston selected Oklahoma State guard Marcus Smart sixth overall with the first — but held Young out of practices and the competition for rookies and free agents in Orlando. Young said Tuesday that he was cleared to practice a “few days ago”, adding that the scary rear-end collision showed him “how fast things can change....

The 2017 release of Justice League is compromised mostly of Snyder’s footage and Whedon’s edits, with occasional re-shoots scattered throughout. Whedon was certainly an odd choice for Snyder’s replacement on the film. With their pick, the studio confirmed that they would be trying to take Justice League in a different direction than Snyder had originally imagined. It would be nearly another four years before Snyder’s fans got to see his vision for the film....

Bottas clinched pole after qualifying on Saturday, ahead of Ferrari’s Vettel, while Hamilton was third fastest but will start the race from eighth due to a penalty for a gearbox change. At the Austrian GP three years ago, Hamilton finished second having started from ninth on the grid, and the three-time world champion remains optimistic of a similar performance this time around as he attempts to close the 14-point gap between himself and Vettel atop the standings....

The 146th-ranked Canadian who played the Wimbledon final four years ago but has since suffered through season after season of disappointment and a tumbling ranking, spent more than two and three-quarter hours in overcoming two-time Roland Garros semi-finalist Bacsinszky. The Swiss who once stood ninth in the world, missed the entire clay and grass season after tearing her right calf muscle during a match warm-up in Rabat last spring....

The mass shooting left 10 people dead, including one police officer, named as 51-year-old Eric Talley by Boulder Police Chief Maris Herold. Talley was an 11-year old veteran of the Boulder Police force and was the first officer to respond to the shooting, Herold said. He was a father of seven, according to Talley’s father. Police said the gunman, who wasn’t identified publicly, was injured in the violence, but they did not provide any more information....

Eddie Howe’s men had thrown away a three-goal lead to draw with Arsenal in their last home game, but here the boot was on the other foot as Benik Afobe secured a hard-earned point with an 82nd-minute strike. Bournemouth were the better side throughout but found themselves behind to goals from Christian Kabasele and Troy Deeney, both from corners. Although Josh King levelled the scores at 1-1 shortly after half-time, it looked as though the hosts’ poor defending from set-pieces would prove costly....

All of these bold choices give the PI7 a very “business casual” vibe. The price point certainly plays a role in that perception. That they are positioned for the wealthy business person. But, even the Bluetooth earbuds’ most clever feature points toward consumers who are often on the road for work. These earbuds can use their charging case to connect to places that only have a 3.5 mm audio jack—like an airplane....

Bowyer, who led a combined 36 laps the last three seasons, took the lead away from stage-two winner Ryan Blaney on lap 285 and led the final 215 laps for his first win since the 2012 Bank of America 500 — 190 races ago. The only caution flag of the afternoon at the half-mile Virginia track flew on lap 384 when Austin Dillon got into the rear of Jamie McMurray, sending the number one car into the wall....

After Argentina defender Nicolás Otamendi posted a video of locker room celebrations following his country’s 2-0 win over Mexico in the FIFA World Cup, Alvarez took exception and has come out fighting on Twitter. Argentina’s captain, Messi, can be seen joining in chanting and as the camera pans around he appeared to touch a Mexican jersey on the floor in front of him, while taking off his boots. This was seen as an act of disrespect by Alvarez—a multiple world champion in four weight classes, from light middleweight to light heavyweight—who then shared his anger on social media....

Take a look at the interview: Chris Eubank Jr. was so impressed by Brook’s performance that he called him out immediately after his fight. Eubank Jr. was with the broadcast team when he called ‘Special K’ out. Although Brook did seem interested in the fight, he did not confirm or deny anything. He spoke about how he would have to sit down with his family and make a decision on his future....

The two British brawlers have been involved in a feud over the past few months, and it all comes to a head on Saturday. The bad blood spilled over into the press conference, and both men seemed confident heading into their Cardiff clash. Heading into the bout, Chris Eubank Jr. is a heavy favorite. However, that didn’t stop Williams from alleging that ‘Next Gen’ lacks confidence going in. His proof being that his foe arranged a rematch clause in their contracts....

‘The Problem Child’ is currently an undefeated professional pugilist, having begun his journey in the ring in 2020. In building a 5-0 record, he’s defeated former MMA champions Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley. Ahead of a proposed August return to the ring, he’s been praised by figures such as Oscar De La Hoya. The former world champion even believes Paul could become a world champion down the line. The 25-year-old later noted that he’s beaten champions in sparring....
