California State University cancels in-person classes for fall

California's state university system, the largest in the United States, canceled classes on Tuesday for the fall semester because of the coronavirus pandemic, while Los Angeles County said its stay-at-home order was likely to be extended by three months.

The announcements on the West Coast came after the country's top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, told Congress that lifting the sweeping lockdowns could touch off new outbreaks of COVID-19, which has killed nearly 81,000 Americans and devastated the economy.

"Our university, when opening without restrictions and fully in person, as is the traditional norm of the past, is a place where more than 500,000 people come together in close and vibrant proximity with each other on a daily basis," Chancellor Timothy White said in a statement.

"That approach, sadly, just isn't in the cards now."

Los Angeles County Health Director Barbara Ferrer added her own grim forecast, saying stay-at-home curbs for 10 million residents, including the city of Los Angeles, would probably remain in place, in some form, for another three months.

"While the Safer at Home orders will remain in place over the next few months, restrictions will be gradually relaxed," under a planned reopening of the local economy as the outbreak ebbs, she said.

Her remarks came after California Governor Gavin Newsom said restaurants in parts of the state could again begin allowing diners inside under modified conditions and outdoor shopping malls could be permitted to open for curbside pickup.

Offices in parts of California can also open with some limitations, Newsom told a daily news briefing. But his latest plan for restarting the world's fifth-largest economy keeps nail salons, tattoo parlors, and fitness clubs closed.

"It's a mistake to overpromise what re-opening means," said Newsom, a Democrat who was the first governor to issue statewide stay-at-home orders and has been more cautious in relaxing them than counterparts in other states.

Earlier, Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told a US Senate panel that prematurely ending restrictions on commerce and social life could have dire consequences.

"I think we're going in the right direction, but the right direction does not mean we have by any means total control of this outbreak," Fauci said during the three-and-a-half-hour hearing.

He urged states to follow health experts' recommendations to wait for clear signs of improvement, such as a significant decline in new infections, before reopening.

"There is a real risk that you will trigger an outbreak that you may not be able to control and, in fact, paradoxically, will set you back, not only leading to some suffering and death that could be avoided but could even set you back on the road to try to get economic recovery," Fauci said.

The COVID-19 respiratory disease caused by the new virus has already infected more than 1.3 million Americans and killed at least 80,976, according to a Reuters tally.

That toll is projected to climb significantly in the coming months.

The latest forecast from the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) is for more than 147,000 deaths from COVID-19 by early August, up nearly 10,000 from the last projection, as social distancing is increasingly relaxed, researchers said.

Broadway actor Nick Cordero wakes from coma

A Broadway actor who had his right leg amputated while fighting Covid-19 has woken up from a medically induced coma, his wife has revealed.

Amanda Kloots said it was "a miracle" that husband Nick Cordero was on the road to recovery.

The Canadian actor, who was nominated for a Tony Award for the Bullets Over Broadway musical, has been in hospital in Los Angeles since the end of March.

Kloots has been posting regular updates about the 41-year-old's condition.

A fundraiser set up to support the couple and their young son Elvis has raised more than $500,000 (£407,000).

Cordero was initially admitted to hospital on 30 March after being diagnosed with pneumonia and later tested positive for coronavirus.

According to his wife, he went into septic shock while in hospital, had two "mini-strokes" and had blood clotting complications that resulted in his leg being amputated.

Speaking on Instagram on Tuesday, Kloots said her husband was "extremely weak" but was "following commands which mean his mental status is coming back".

Cordero's other theatre credits include stints in Waitress, Rock of Ages, and the musical version of A Bronx Tale.

Khloe Kardashian not pregnant with Tristan's baby

I don’t go on social platforms much these days AND this is one of the main reasons as to why I stay away. The sick and hurtful things people say. I am disgusted by so many things I am seeing. SMH people swear they know everything about me. Including my uterus. Sick.

— Khloé (@khloekardashian) May 13, 2020

Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson do NOT have another bun in the oven, despite lots of speculation otherwise ...

While rumors and reports started swirling Wednesday morning saying Khloe was pregnant with the NBA star's child, our sources tell us that's not the case.

Sources close to Khloe tell AMpmFUN ... she is NOT pregnant and the rumor mill started simply because eagle-eyed fans noticed she was posting a lot of pink flowers recently, which they mistook as a sign of another daughter on the horizon.

Fans also noted a lot of the photos and videos Khloe's been posting on social media are from the waist up or throwback pics ... but we're told it's not a sign she's actually expecting.

As you know ... Khloe and Tristan have one child together already, True Thompson, who recently celebrated her 2nd birthday.

It sounds like things are good between Khloe and TT, even though they don't live under the same roof ... our sources say they've been seeing each other from time to time during Cali's stay-at-home order because of their daughter, and the family celebrated Mother's Day together.

Khloe's still a mother of one ... and that's not changing any time soon.

WWE superstar Becky Lynch announces pregnancy

WWE superstar Becky Lynch will have a new challenge to grapple with later this year -- parenthood.

Lynch, 33, whose real name is Rebecca Quin, is one of the top attractions in World Wrestling Entertainment and is the longest-reigning women’s champion in the WWE’s Raw division, holding the belt for 398 days, ESPN reported. On “Raw,” a weekly pro wrestling show, Lynch announced she and fiance Seth Rollins are expecting their first child in December, People reported.

Lynch, in an emotional segment of the show, said she was giving up her title, which will now go to Asuka, who won Sunday night’s Money in the Bank match.

“You go and be a warrior, 'cause I’m gonna go be a mother," Lynch said before embracing Asuka.

"You go and be a warrior, 'cause I'm gonna go be a mother."

“I’ve always, always wanted kids,” Lynch told People. “I’m just so career-focused that it became one of those things that, when you’re chasing a dream for so long, I always wondered, ‘Am I going to get around to it? Is it going to happen for me?’”

Lynch, a native of Limerick, Ireland, began wrestling for the WWE promotion in 2013. She won the Raw and SmackDown Women’s Championship belts in 2019 when she beat Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair in a Triple Threat match at WrestleMania 35, CNN reported. It was the first women’s match ever to headline WWE’s biggest annual event.

Lynch and Rollins, 33, went public with their relationship in May 2019 and announced their engagement three months later, People reported.

Why Your Coronavirus Stimulus Check Isn’t Here Yet

Nearly a month after IRS deposited the first round of coronavirus stimulus checks into Americans’ bank accounts, Uncle Sam still hasn’t paid everyone what they’re due. As of last Friday, the IRS had sent out 130 million payments of roughly $200 billion. That leaves some 20 million U.S. residents waiting for their cut of relief funds. Here’s a quick primer on who is entitled to relief under Congress’s recently passed CARES Act, why you might not have received your check yet, and what you can do to make sure the IRS eventually gives you what you’re owed.

Who is eligible for a stimulus check (and how large should that check be)?

If you file your taxes as an individual and earned less than $75,000 a year (as measured by adjustable gross income), you are entitled to a $1,200 check. Those who earned between $75,000 and $99,000 are still entitled to some relief. But the dollar value of their checks will decline by $5 for every $100 they earned above $75,000.

If you file your taxes as a married couple (or are married and do not file taxes) and earned less than $150,000, then you’re eligible for a $2,400 check. As with individuals, those who earned between $150,000 and $198,00 are still entitled to some relief, but the size the check declines as your income goes up.

If you are unmarried but file your taxes as head of your household, you should get the full $1,200 check so long as you earned below $112,500. Those who earned under $136,500 will receive checks of lesser value.

Finally, families who earned less than the income cap are entitled to a $500 payment for each child in their care.

Why some eligible Americans still haven’t received their checks (and what they can do about it).

Congress put the IRS in charge of dispersing the coronavirus relief payments, and the IRS can distribute those payments most easily to Americans who have already provided the agency with their banking information in order to receive a tax refund as a direct deposit. Thus, the first round of payments was issued to the subset of eligible Americans who requested and received direct-deposit tax refunds in 2018 and/or 2019.

According to a CBS MoneyWatch analysis of IRS numbers, West Virginia has seen the highest percentage of taxpayers receive their stimulus and New Jersey has seen the lowest. That discrepancy, CBS notes, “likely comes down to residents’ income, tax filing status and bank account information.”

The best bet for those hoping to get a check sooner rather than later is to enter their bank account information on the IRS’s “Get My Payment” tool. The deadline to do so is Wednesday at 12 p.m. For those who miss the deadline or prefer paper checks, relief will start arriving later this month, the IRS said. “Afternoon Wednesday, the IRS will begin preparing millions of files to send to (the Bureau of Fiscal Services) for paper checks that will begin arriving through late May and into June,” the agency said in a press release Friday.

Why you may be getting the message “Payment Status Not Available” when trying to use the IRS’s “Get My Payment” tool.

Many Americans have reported getting this frustrating message when attempting to check on the status of their aid checks. The Washington Post last month reached out to the IRS about the problem, which told the paper that users could hit this wall for any of the following reasons:

• You aren’t eligible for a payment.

• Your payment is based on your status as a Social Security, disability, Veterans Affairs, or Railroad Retirement beneficiary.

• In this case, the IRS will use your SSA or RRB Form 1099 payment information.

• Your payment information isn’t available on the “Get My Payment” tool.

• You have not filed a 2018 or 2019 federal tax return. You filed your 2019 return, but it hasn’t been fully processed.

• You used the non-filers tool, but the information you entered is still being processed. There’s a problem verifying your identity when answering the security questions.

Some suggestions for getting past this problem include typing your address in all caps, using periods after abbreviations in your address, and finding an old tax return to ensuring you’re typing in the same address that IRS used to mail your return.

Why your check may have been too small.

If you are a parent or guardian who receives Social Security retirement, survivors, disability, or SSI benefits, you may have received a $1,200 boost to your benefits but no accompanying $500 payment for each of your children. In order to access those child benefits, you will need to use the tool for non-filers at IRS.gov and input the Social Security number or Adoption Taxpayer Identification Number of each of your dependents.

Singer Bryan Adams slammed as racist for post blaming 'bat eating' people for coronavirus

Reports of targeted attacks against Asians and Asian Americans have grown with the coronavirus pandemic and many expressed concerns that Bryan Adams' "hateful language" will add to their marginalization.

Canadian singer Bryan Adams is being criticized as racist for social media posts in which he blamed "bat eating" people for the coronavirus.

"Tonight was supposed to be the beginning of a tenancy of gigs at the @royalalberthall, but thanks to some f------ bat eating, wet market animal selling, virus making greedy bastards, the whole world are now on hold, not to mention the thousands that have suffered or died from this virus," Bryan Adams wrote on Instagram and Twitter Tuesday, alongside a video of him performing his song "Cuts Like a Knife."

Bryan Adams added that his message "to them other than 'thanks to a f------ lot' is gone vegan."

Though Adams has since deleted his tweet and appears to have disabled commenting on his Instagram post, his rant sparked immediate backlash online, with "Bryan Adams" and "Bryan Adams racist" trending on social media Tuesday.

"Now that I see #BryanAdams trending because he's a racist f---wit, I am a lot happier that I converted his concert t-shirt into my first ever homemade respiratory mask," one person tweeted.

"Well, I didn't have #BryanAdams being a screaming racist on my 2020 #StoptheMadness Bingo card," wrote lawyer and media consultant Katie Phang.

Reports of targeted attacks against Asians and Asian Americans have grown with the coronavirus pandemic and many expressed concerns that Bryan Adams' "hateful language" will add to their marginalization.

"Bryan Adams' racist xenophobic tirade has been up for 10 hours now," tweeted Dr. Wing Kar Li, a Canadian-based neuroscientist. "Damage has been done."

U.S. House seat vacated by Katie Hill is up for grabs in Tuesday’s special Election

The race to see who will fill the House seat left vacant when former Democratic Rep. Katie Hill resigned last year amid controversy will soon be decided with a special election taking place Tuesday.

The congressional district — California’s 25th, which encompasses parts of Los Angeles and Ventura counties and spans suburban and rural areas — is being fiercely contested.

Democrat Christy Smith, a state assembly member, faces off against Republican Mike Garcia, a businessman and Navy veteran who has never before held political office.

The special election will decide who serves out the remainder of what would have been Hill’s first term in office. But whatever the outcome, there will be a rematch. That’s because Smith and Garcia are also running as candidates for a November general election that will determine who holds the seat in the next session of Congress.

The seat went from red to blue when Hill won in 2018. Democrats want to keep the seat, but the party faces more challenging terrain now that Hill no longer holds the seat with an incumbent advantage. Republicans, meanwhile, are hoping to win back what they lost by flipping it back to red.

In a sign of how competitive the race has become, the non-partisan Cook Political Report moved the race from “lean Democratic” to “toss up” in April.

Losing the seat would be a blow to Democrats, and Republicans would be sure to seize on any victory as they fight to try to win back the House majority in the fall.

One Democratic strategist told CNN that national Democrats have long viewed the seat as more difficult to win during a stand-alone special election than during a November election either for a congressional midterm or with a presidential candidate on the ballot, in part because they would expect higher Democratic voter turnout when other high-profile races were taking place at the same time.

“It’s a red seat in a special election, a purple seat during a presidential primary and it trends more blue in a November election, especially with a presidential candidate at the top of the ticket,” the strategist said.

Once a rising star in the Democratic Party, Hill announced last year that she would resign from Congress amid an ethics probe into allegations that she engaged in an improper relationship with a congressional staffer. Hill denied having a relationship with her congressional staffer, but did admit to a relationship with a campaign staffer before taking office.

Another factor adding uncertainty to the race is the fact that it is taking place during the coronavirus pandemic.

Voting amid the pandemic has become a flashpoint with President Donald Trump, who has endorsed Garcia, weighing in to claim without evidence that the election is “rigged.” Trump has further claimed that a voting booth system was installed “in a highly Democrat area,” despite the fact that the election was “supposed to be mail in ballots only.”

It’s not true, however, that the special election was intended to take place exclusively with mail-in ballots.

In March, California’s Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order requiring vote-by-mail ballots to be sent to every registered voter in the district. But the order also “authorized and encouraged” election officials to make in-person voting opportunities available. There will be limited opportunities for in-person voting with multiple locations accessible to voters starting on May 2 through election day.

Los Angeles County election officials recently announced that a vote center would open up in Lancaster, California. Nearly a quarter of Lancaster voters are black, and Democrats argued that the absence of polling locations in that part of the district disenfranchised voters of color.

But Democrats weren’t the only ones calling for a vote center in the area. A press release from the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder and County Clerk announcing the news specifically said that the request to add the center came from the Lancaster mayor, who is a Republican elected official.

California Secretary of State Alex Padilla, a Democrat, said in a statement, “Trump’s lie filled Twitter tantrum is a dangerous preview of the General Election, where he will seek to delegitimize any election results he does not like. Expanding vote-by-mail and providing ample in-person voting locations during a pandemic isn’t a partisan issue — it’s the right thing to do to protect voting rights and public health.”

Garcia tweeted on Saturday that Smith and her Democratic allies “are desperate and trying to change the rules to steal an election,” adding, “We can’t let them succeed!!”

“Mike Garcia has made it clear from the start that he is in lockstep with Donald Trump and will put Trump’s needs before the district, leaving CA-25 residents to ‘fend for themselves,'” Kunal Atit, Smith’s deputy campaign manager, said in a statement.

“Now he is working with the President to weave baseless conspiracy theories to disenfranchise African American and Latino voters and cast doubt on the integrity of our election. This behavior shows just how out of touch he is with our values,” he added.

Lance Trover, a spokesman for the Garcia campaign, said in a statement, “The differences between Mike Garcia and Christy Smith couldn’t be more clear – Mike is a former Navy fighter pilot and small businessman who wants to lower taxes, while liberal Assemblywoman Smith hasn’t met a tax she didn’t want to raise on Californians.”

The Garcia campaign has promised that the Republican candidate would “defeat socialism,” work to “build the wall,” and “enact term limits to get rid of career politicians.”

In his endorsement of Garcia, Trump has said that he “Loves our Military, and Vets,” is “Strong on Crime, the Border, and Second Amendment” and “has my Complete and Total Endorsement!”

The Smith campaign, meanwhile, has sought to closely tie Garcia to the President while condemning Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Smith has been endorsed by a number of high-profile Democrats, including former President Barack Obama, former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and more.

Justice Department dropping case against Michael Flynn

WASHINGTON — In an abrupt about-face, the Justice Department said it is dropping the criminal case against President Donald Trump's first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, abandoning a prosecution that became a rallying cry for the president and his supporters in attacking the FBI's Trump-Russia investigation.

The action Thursday was a stunning reversal for one of the signature cases brought by special counsel Robert Mueller. It comes even though prosecutors for the past three years have maintained that Flynn lied to the FBI in a January 2017 interview about his conversations with the Russian ambassador.

Flynn admitted as much, pleading guilty before later asking to withdraw the plea, and he became a key cooperator for Mueller as the special counsel investigated ties between Russia and Trump's 2016 political campaign.

Thursday's action was swiftly embraced by Trump, who has relentlessly tweeted about the "outrageous" case and last week pronounced Flynn "exonerated," and it is likely to energize supporters of the president who have taken up the retired Army lieutenant general as a cause.

Trump praised Attorney General William Barr for abandoning the prosecution of Flynn.

"Bill Barr is a man of unbelievable credibility and courage and he's going to go down on the history books," Trump told "Fox & Friends" on Friday.

Trump said that if Barr had been his first attorney general, there would never have been a Russia probe.

"He would have stopped it immediately," Trump said.

Democrats, however, have complained that Barr is excessively loyal to the president.

"Attorney General Barr's politicization of justice knows no bounds," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said. She accused Barr's department of "dropping the case to continue to cover up for the president."

Shortly before the filing was submitted, Brandon Van Grack, a Mueller team member and veteran prosecutor on the case, withdrew from the prosecution, a possible sign of disagreement with the decision.

After the Flynn announcement, Trump declared that his former aide had been "an innocent man" all along. He accused Obama administration officials of targeting Flynn and said, "I hope that a big price is going to be paid." Going further, he said of the effort to investigate Flynn: "It's treason. It's treason."

In court documents filed Thursday, the Justice Department said that after reviewing newly disclosed information and other materials, it agreed with Flynn's lawyers that his interview with the FBI should never have taken place because his contacts with the Russian ambassador were "entirely appropriate."

The U.S. attorney reviewing the Flynn case, Jeff Jensen, formally recommended dropping it to Barr last week, the course of action publicly recommended by Trump, who appointed Barr to head the Justice Department.

Barr has increasingly challenged the federal Trump-Russia investigation, saying in an interview last month that it was started "without any basis." In February, he overruled a decision by prosecutors in the case of Roger Stone, a longtime Trump friend and adviser, in favor of a more lenient recommended sentence.

Jensen said in a statement that he "briefed Attorney General Barr on my findings, advised him on these conclusions, and he agreed."

The department's action comes amid an internal review into the handling of the case and an aggressive effort by Flynn's lawyers to challenge the basis for the prosecution. The lawyers cited newly disclosed FBI emails and notes last week to allege that Flynn was improperly trapped into lying when agents interviewed him days after Trump's inauguration.

None of the documents appeared to undercut the central allegation that Flynn had misled the FBI.

In recent months, Flynn's attorneys have leveled allegations about the FBI's actions and asked to withdraw his guilty plea. A judge has rejected most of the claims and not ruled on others, including the bid to revoke the plea.

Earlier this year, Barr appointed Jensen, the top federal prosecutor in St. Louis, to investigate the handling of Flynn's case.

As part of that process, the Justice Department gave Flynn's attorneys internal FBI correspondence, including one handwritten note from a senior FBI official that mapped out internal deliberations about the purpose of the Flynn interview: "What's our goal? Truth/admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?"

Other documents show the FBI had been prepared before its interview to drop its investigation into whether he was acting at the direction of Russia. Later that month, though, as the White House insisted that Flynn hadn't discussed sanctions with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, FBI officials grew increasingly concerned by Flynn's conversations with the diplomat and kept the investigation open to question him about that. Two agents visited him at the White House on Jan. 24, 2017.

But Thursday's filing, signed by U.S. Attorney Tim Shea, says the FBI had no basis to continue investigating Flynn after failing to find illegality. It says there was nothing on his Russia calls "to indicate an inappropriate relationship between Mr. Flynn and a foreign power."

The department also contends Flynn's answers during the interview were equivocal and indirect, rather than false, and weren't relevant to the underlying investigation into whether the Trump campaign and Russia were illegally coordinating.

The memo also cites what it describes as uncertainty within the FBI over whether Flynn had lied, noting that the agents who interviewed him reported that he had a "very 'sure' demeanor" and that then-FBI Director James Comey had said it was a "close" call.

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe lambasted the new action. He said the FBI was obligated to interview Flynn "to better understand why he was talking to Russian officials." Flynn's lies, McCabe said, "added to our concerns about his relationship with the Russian government."

Flynn was among the first people charged in Mueller's investigation, pleading guilty in December 2017 to lying about conversations with Kislyak in which he encouraged Russia not to escalate tensions with the U.S. over sanctions imposed by the Obama administration for election interference.

The Hidden Love Between Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock

The two stars appeared together in the movie “ Speed” in 1994. Their chemistry in the movie was supernatural. Everyone could notice the spark between the two stars. Like the movie, their relation was going good in the backstage, and also they were adorable together.

They even liked each other. But they never dated. But Why? What really happened?

During filming, Sandra Bullock had a huge crush on Keanu. During an interview at the Ellen Show, Sandra revealed about her crush.

“I think about how sweet Keanu Reeves was and how handsome he was. It was hard, it was really… It was hard for me “ to like really be serious.“ Like, he would look at me, and I’d be like (Giggling).”

But she never dated him. Because Sandra thought her crush was one-sided. She thought Keanu didn’t see her that way. “Did you all get together?” “Did you date him?” Never dated him.”

“There’s just something about me that I guess he didn’t like.” That’s why Sandra never talked about her feelings to Keanu. But as it turns out, Keanu had a similar crush on Sandra.

Few days after Sandra’s interview, Keanu appeared on the Ellen Show. And what he said there left everyone crazy. Ellen showed Keanu what Sandra had told about him. “Did you know that she had a crush on you?” No.” She obviously didn’t know I had a crush on her either.“ Oh, Wow.”

Keanu and Sandra both had crus on each other. But both were shy and afraid to express their feelings. “She’s such a wonderful person and a wonderful actress. “ “It was nice to go to work.”

During shooting, Keanu used to take care of Sandra as a friend. He was always concerned about her well-being during action scenes.” My dress sort of kept flying up so I said”. “ Whatever you do, just keep my dress down” The whole stunt he just made sure of my dress. He was very sweet.“

But sadly, no one had the guts to make the first move. In 2006, the stars met again on the sets. They were filming the movie “The Lake House.” They were again playing as a romantic couple in that movie.

But Sadly for fans, Sandra was in a relationship at that time. Keanu and Sandra could have had an epic romance. But they never got together in real life. But you never know… In Hollywood, the future is never predictable!
