After obtaining rights to Daraprim in 2015, Vyera raised the price from $17.50 to $750 per pill. This left some patients paying as much as $16,000 in co-payments. The lawsuit also accused Vyera of preventing competitors from making a cheaper generic version of the drug, creating a “a web of anticompetitive restrictions.” The drug is used to treat toxoplasmosis, a disease resulting from infection with Toxoplasma gondii, a common parasite....

Because of all the external factors that go into fantasy baseball rankings – position scarcity, category scarcity, injury worries, etc. – it’s really impossible to make a comprehensive set of overall rankings; however, that’s the default setting in all draft rooms. Sure, you can sort by position (or name, or category…), but the players higher up in the window right in front of your face are undoubtedly going to command more attention....

We looked across 10 leading publications to prove it. The Bulldogs were No. 1 across all 10 sites, but the surprises started at No. 2. Michigan is the consensus No. 2 ahead of Alabama and Ohio State. The Wolverines and Crimson Tide were ranked No. 2 by four sites apiece. The Buckeyes were ranked No. 2 by one site. The rest of the list gives you a good idea of the baseline for the preseason polls heading into the 2023 season....

The nightmare scenarios involve a computer attack on systems like telecommunications, electricity or water supplies. “Increasingly there are components on the electric-power grid and the natural-gas pipeline network that are controlled remotely via the Internet,” says Jeffrey Hunker, dean of the Heinz School for Public Policy and Management. Juice could be cut off and energy supplies halted. Hacking into the electronic-funds-transfer network would exact an inestimable economic toll. The threats are real....

What we are gonna do is … collaborate. Computer-generated music will, says computer scientist Raymond Kurzweil, “respond to our physical movements or even our emotions, which the computer-based system … could detect from the subtelties of our facial expressions or perhaps even our brain waves.” Interactive literacy works are being created in which “the reader determines the story’s outcome by controlling its branching of events.” Digitized films, writes Richard Lanham in “The Electronic Word,” “can now be released with alternative outtakes, or alternative endings from which each viewer will assemble a private ideal version at home....

Nostalgic for a period he never knew, Korshunov recently took a tiny step back in time. Last October, St. Petersburg revived a Soviet-era institution called the druzhina–civilian patrols that help the police by maintaining order and reporting other citizens’ suspicious behavior. A few weeks ago Korshunov signed up. Now, decked out in a green vest and a red armband, he’s earning about $20 a month while he gets his university education and does his part to make Russia wholesome again....

The playwright is set to host Significant Others, a non-fiction podcast that shines a spotlight on people behind well-known historical figures. “I’ve probably absorbed a lot, just from living with Conan for the last 20 years,” Liza told Newsweek, when discussing her thoughts on hosting a podcast for the first time. Her comedian husband Conan has recently embarked on a surprise turn in his career as his own podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, has become an international success....

While events like last summer’s Copa America Centenario, which took place in the United States with a mix of teams from both confederations, were positive for both organizations and may be replicated, Moggio said, rumors about a union between the two groups won’t come to fruition at this time. Zola: Spector returning to MLS “Cooperation with CONMEBOL is very important in every way. We saw with the success of the Copa America that it was an all-around success for CONCACAF as well as for CONMEBOL,” he told ESPN Digital....

Sure, CONCACAF World Cup qualification sees countries from three different subregions competing for the same prize, one of three guaranteed spots in the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. And, yes, the culture — both sporting and otherwise — can be quite diverse. But when we look at the trio of games that get qualification rolling again after the first two matchdays, there are plenty of similarities among the six nations still remaining in the hunt for tickets to Russia....

After requesting a congressional hearing to review the daily fantasy industry, the New Jersey Democrats have asked the Federal Trade Commission to implement precautionary measures to protect users on daily fantasy sites from being subject to unfair play after it was revealed the daily fantasy sites’ employees may have had an unfair advantage.

Lamont, like the governors of several other states and cities, ordered the closure of bars, restaurants, gyms and movie theaters on Monday morning. Speaking to CNN on Monday as well, the Democratic governor said he and the leaders of other states had “stepped up” to tackle the crisis, suggesting there was a lack of leadership from the federal government. “Look, I don’t know where the federal government was. We should have been doing this, you know, eight weeks ago,” he said, discussing the lack of testing for coronavirus nationwide....

Laying on the ice early in the second period, it looked to many fans as if McDavid was mumbling the words “it is broken,” referring to his knee, which was later reported as an injury to his posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) that would not require surgery — great news for the Oilers faithful. Although their season was over without a playoff bid, the question of the 22-year-old forward’s recovery timetable still loomed large....

The options inside the Octagon include these three enticing fights: — A rematch with interim featherweight champion Jose Aldo, whom McGregor knocked out in 13 seconds at UFC 194 in December to become at the time, the undisputed titleholder. — A fight against lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez, who said McGregor isn’t a “championship fighter.” MORE: Lesnar dares McGregor to come to WWE — A trilogy fight against Diaz.

The Russian president’s decree to partially mobilize his nation’s population for the war has brought international condemnation, nationwide protests and an exodus of Russians desperate to flee the country. The conscription order affects reservists and ex-military personnel with “certain military specialties and relevant experience.” While the Russian military said that those studying full time would not be called up, mobilization officers reportedly arrived at a university in the nation’s far east to enlist students....

Even if Trump loses in the end, his performance ought to prompt some soul-searching for Democrats who expected Biden to win in a landslide; this election was not a resounding national rejection of whatever it is Trump stood for. But it should raise even more questions for conservatives who supported him in hopes of moving the GOP in a more “Trumpist”—meaning a populist or nationalist—direction. Numerous right-of-center writers and thinkers spent Trump’s term interpreting 2016 as a new model for conservative politics....

A month ago, part of the stadium in Sao Paolo, where the World Cup opener is to be held, collapsed, taking the lives of two construction workers. According to the report, the worker fell 115 feet from the roofing structure and was rushed to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

First-half goals from Dejan Lovren and Jordan Henderson, the latter’s strike a superb dipping effort from distance, proved enough for Friday’s visitors to Stamford Bridge, with Diego Costa’s subsequent response proving in vain for Chelsea. Former Italy boss Conte was frustrated by defensive lapses in the buildup to both Liverpool goals and was asked in his post-match news conference if the absence of veteran defender Terry, out with an ankle injury, had proven significant....

Following Chelsea’ Carabao Cup semi-final exit at Arsenal on Wednesday, Conte again bemoaned the lack of options at his disposal to echo his complaints from the summer. Conte’s gripes during the previous transfer window strained the relationship between the Italian and the board, only for those issues to be put to one side once the season kicked off. However, with the 2017-18 season increasingly looking like it will not be one to remember after last year’s impressive Premier League title win, the cracks are beginning to reappear....
