American Idol is the latest show to come back from being rebooted with its upcoming 16th season, so we have all that you need in order to watch the show online or from your mobile devices.

Now, I know this could be a bit confusing for people, including longtime fans, especially longtime fans, but the new season will air on ABC, not Fox. Because at the end of things, in one way or another, we will all belong to the House of Mouse.

Just like last time, people from all over the country will fight to become the next Kelly Clarkson. Auditions were held in August and 23 cities were visited to try and find the next big talent. Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie are set to serve as judge, with who else but Ryan Seacrest set to serve as host. iHeartRadio DJ Bobby Bones will also serve as a mentor for the Top 24 this season.

American Academy McAllister Institute Incident: Full Story & Must-See Details

A recent cheating scandal has impacted the American Academy McAllister Institute, a Manhattan mortician school, known informally as the “Harvard of Mortuary Schools,” with the news set to impact funeral homes throughout New York, in what is said to be a “widespread conspiracy.”

What happened?

The state Health Department last week filed charges against seven teachers, including the president and CEO Mary Margaret Dunn. According to the allegations, students were given special aid to help cheat on exams through emails divulging test information sent from teachers.

The scandal is said to have come out of a five-year investigation, after an unidentified student notified the examining board conference that “very specific and direct answers to the National Board Exam” were sent in an email, according to Fox News.


What happens now?

Due to the scandal, the passing scores of more than 300 AAMI graduates have been disqualified by the International Conference of Funeral Service Examining Boards. In addition, the state Bureau of Funeral Directors is said to have informed almost 100 New York morticians that they must perform one of two options to avoid having theirlicense invalidated: re-sit and pass the exam by June 30, 2018, or apply for an extension by the end of the year.

Despite the scandal, some have spoken out in defense of the school, claiming their actions were intended to address a shortage of workers in the modern mortuary industry. According to Fox News, Robert Ruggiero, the executive director of the Metropolitan Funeral Directors Association, called the investigation a “witch hunt” and issued the following statement:

“The industry is already short-staffed by 30 percent. This action will only compound the problem. There is limited number of funeral directors already straining to accommodate the public caseload.”

Police and firefighters are dealing with fire at Maroush Restaurant, a Lebanese street food eatery complete with music and belly dancing, said to be on Britain’s busiest high street impacting four floors of office blocks. According to sources, five fire engines and 30 firefighters were in attendance at the scene.

What happened?

The London Fire Brigade has issued the following statement on Twitter:

“Firefighters are tackling a fire in a restaurant on Vere Street, Marylebone, central London. The restaurant’s ducting (ventilation system) is alight – more to follow.”

According to The Sun, a description of the scene could be read as follows:

“Onlookers took photos of a firefighter trying to tackle the blaze just off Vere Street in the middle of the afternoon.”

“Thick smoke could be seen billowing over the West End streets where shoppers stopped to look at the fire, which began just before 4pm today.”

Places close to the fire included a Brazilian embassy and a Pret a Manger store on the other side.

WWE Fastlane 2018: Results, Live Updates & Must-See Highlights

WWE Fastlane is coming up fast! The superstars of ‘SmackDown Live’ have arrived at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. Tonight is the very last pay-per-view on the road to WrestleMania 34. Expect a night of fast-paced action, feauting “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles putting his WWE Championship on the line in a much-anticipated six-pack challenge. Can Styles overcome the odds and topple five of SmackDown‘s top superstars, in a match which includes “The Doctor of Thuganomics” John Cena?

We might see history tonight. If Cena wins the six-pack challenge then he’ll become a 17-time world champion, surpassing the record set by 16-time world champion “Nature Boy” Ric Flair.

But maybe tonight’s not the night for either Styles or Cena. Maybe it’s time for “The Lone Wolf” Baron Corbin to rise to the occasion and grab hold of WWE gold. Or maybe tonight will be the night of “The Yep Movement,” with either Kevin Owens or Sami Zayn capturing the WWE Championship on route to WrestleMania. Or could it be The Showoff’s time to shine, meaning “The Ziggly One” Dolph Ziggler is WrestleMania-bound with the WWE Championship in hand.

WWE Fastlane 2018 Kickoff Show


Kickoff Show: Mojo Rawley, Shelton Benjamin, and Chad Gable vs. Tye Dillinger, and Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango)

Gable and Breeze start off. Gable immediately drops Breeze who tags in Fandango who’s looking to mock his opponent. Fandango puts on Gable’s amateur wrestling head-gear, circles around the ring, and then tags in Breeze. Gable allows Breeze to mount him, which doesn’t turn out favorably for the former Olympian. Breeze rides him like a horse, which freaks out Gable. A distracted Gable eats a drop kick. All hell starts breaking loose between teams, and Dillinger and Fandango clear the ring.

Gable gains the upperhand before the break and drops Breeze once again. Shelton Benjamin is in solid control of Tyler Breeze as we return from the break. Breeze tries fighting out, but gets dropped by Benjamin. Gable gets the tag, and they double-team the dazed Breeze.

Mojo Rawley continues the assaults against a hurt Tyler Breeze. But Tye Dillinger breaths a breathe of fresh-air into the match, and scores the win for his team.

Tye Dillinger, and Breezango defeats Mojo Rawley, Chad Gable, and Shelton Benjamin


Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Rusev

Today was definitely not Rusev Day, although he did push Shinsuke Nakamura to the limit. Nakamura controlled the early portion of this match, having the big man reeling at almost every moment. During the mid-way point, Rusev turned the tide and put the punishment on “The Artist” Nakamura. Rusev looked strong, imposing and dominant. He also looked like he was going to put away Nakamura with The Accolade.

Shinsuke Nakamura battles back and tries to take out Rusev with a Kinshasa, but Rusev turns that around into a massive kick. Nakamura looks finished until he musters up a comeback and finally ends what could have been Rusev’s Day with a real Kinshasa strike.

Shinsuke Nakamura defeats Rusev


WWE United States Championship match: Bobby Roode (c) vs. Randy Orton

“The Viper” Randy Orton and “The Glorious One” Bobby Roode had an incredibly competitive match. Roode and Orton trade control of the contest. After a long back-and-forth encounter, Roode goes sailing off the top rope and into an RKO outta nowhere.

Post-Match: Randy Orton celebrates in the ring with the U.S. title. “The Modern Day” Maharaja Jinder Mahal comes out and assaults Orton. Bobby Roode makes the save and drops Mahal. He then turns his attention on Orton and puts the beat-down on “The Viper.”

Without further ado, here is your very own unmarked bracket for you to slave over for the next few days. (click here for the pdf)

Although there are always the overconfident participants that wholeheartedly believe that they have the most prestigious and stellar brackets of the year, those individuals would be wise to exercise some haste when making their final selections. While excelling in a given March Madness pool is almost always a crap shoot, this year, in particular, will be extremely chaotic considering the plethora of competitive programs that exist in this beloved sport.

So, good luck fellow college basketball aficionados and opportunistic bracket analyst, you’re going to need it.

A helicopter reportedly carrying several people crashed in New York City’s East River, while rescue officials are arriving at the site. With the crash happening near Roosevelt Island around 7 P.M.; it is also believed that the chopper is upside down in the water. At this time, the fate of the people onboard the helicopter is currently unknown.

What happened?

According to The New York Post, various witnesses have given the following accounts of the crash:

“It looked like it was completely submerged,” he said. “It couldn’t have been any longer than 5 minutes.”

“We heard it hit the water, and then automatically, it drowned.”

“It landed to the side, and then it flipped over, and then for about a minute and a half, no one came out of the water, so all of us immediately called 911. And then we saw one guy climb onto the raft.”

On Twitter, New York City press secretary Eric Phillips said that Mayor Bill de Blasio had been briefed on the incident:

“Mayor just got a briefing. NYPD and FDNY divers already on the scene and in the water.”

The pilot managed to escape from the helicopter and climb aboard a raft but the five other people were still trapped inside, upside-down.

Police have already deployed two divers to fetch those who were onboard; it is believed that at least one person was taken to Bellevue Hospital. The FAA has said that it is currently investigating the crash.

UPDATE: There are at least two confirmed deaths related to the crash; this was confirmed by Phillips on Twitter:

“The Mayor was just briefed by the police and fire commissioners. At least one survivor, at least two fatalities. Divers are still in the water.”

Each victim worked for The Pathway Home at the Veteran’s Home of California, which provides counseling services to veterans sufferring with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

“They lived their lives selflessly to serve others,” said Yountville Mayor John Dunbar. “Each of them brought energy, vitality, personality to their jobs and that’s so critical when we’re talking about supporting our veterans.”

Dunbar also called the three victims, “beautiful people.”

A helicopter crashed into the East River at 90 St in Manhattan, New York, injuring 5 people. The helicopter was reportedly a “tour helicopter” carrying several people. Initial reports indicate that two people have been killed as a result of the crash.

According to The Federal Aviation Administration, the Eurocopter AS350 “went down” near Roosevelt Island around 7 p.m. EST, adding that the chopper went upside down in the water. A witness speaking to the New York Post said that the helicopter disappeared beneath the water “in minutes.” Another witness said that one person was seen being pulled from the water onto a raft.

Rescue operations are currently underway. The FAA said they investigating the accident.

At this time, it is not clear what caused the crash or the extent of the injuries. It is believed that at least 6 people were on board at the time of the crash.

via ABC 7:

“We were having dinner and we noticed a red helicopter going full speed towards the water. It almost looked very surreal and next thing we know it’s approaching the water slowly and then it just completely crashed and then sunk. Immediate reaction was to call 911,” said eyewitness Arineh Nazarian.

The Post reports that there are only two Eurocopter AS350’s registered with the FAA in the tri-state area — both to the New Jersey parent company of tour operator Fly Liberty Charters.

The FAA said that the National Transportation Safety Board will work to determine the probable cause of the incident.

Dodd married his partner of 40 years, Anne Jones, the Friday before his passing.

According to Telegraph, Holmes released the following statement:

“He passed away in the home that he was born in over 90 years ago. He’s never lived anywhere else. It’s absolutely amazing.”

“With Ken gone, the lights have been turned out in the world of variety.

“He was a comedy legend and genius.”

“He asked Anne if she wanted to marry. They got the registrar and were married in the house on Friday.

“He died two days later on Mother’s Day. Anne is obviously very upset. They had been together for 40 years.

“It’s a love story to beat them all.”

Dodd is arguably best known for his characters, the Diddy Men, puppet characters who are based on beings from Merseyside mythology. Known for his comedic work, especially based on the classic music hall tradition, He was knighted in the 2017 New Year Honours for services to entertainment and charity.

Earlier this year, Dodd was the subject of false death reports, believed to be connected to chest infection treatments; the comedian’s publicist later confirmed that these reports were untrue.


What is Sir Ken Dodd’s official cause of death?

At this time, Sir Ken Dodd’s official cause of death is unknown to the public.

What happened?

Police found Anderson’s body after receiving a call to check on her during last Friday during the afternoon.

As a senior nursing student at the Binghamton University, Anderson was expected to have graduated in May. Originally from Westbury, New York, she also worked on campus as Jazzman’s Cafe.

On Twitter, reporter Briana Smith issued the following statement on the case:

“Binghamton police here at 23 Oak Street. Crime scene unit was here earlier today. I spoke to some residents who say college students live there, and they are always friendly. They also say this is an unexpected scene for the neighborhood.”


What do we know about the suspect?

At this time, police believe the aforementioned person of interest had a previous relationship with Anderson. According to WBNG-TV. he is described as “a male nursing student enrolled at Binghamton University.” In addition, police also confirmed that Anderson’s death was not random, occurring at a home off campus.

Police also confirmed he left the United States after Anderson’s death, although he may have since returned to the country. At this time, his name was not revealed by police. An international manhunt has been instigated by police to find him.

UPDATE: Police later identified the “person of interest” as Orlando Tercero.


Reactions to Anderson’s passing on social media

In light of Anderson’s passing, the school issued the following statement on Facebook:

“The Binghamton University community is deeply saddened to learn of the death of senior nursing student Haley Anderson, whose death is being investigated by the Binghamton Police Department. There is no threat to public safety at this time. The investigation is continuing at this hour.

“At just 22 years old, Haley’s life was tragically taken. Due to the unexpected nature of these events Haley’s family is not financially prepared for the costs of a funeral. Much like there are no words to describe the magnificent person we lost, there is no way to describe the way her family feels. She left behind a mother, a father, a younger sister, and a community that is still struggling to cope with her loss. If you can find it in your heart to help her family in this time of great sadness, any donations will be greatly appreciated and go directly to covering the cost of her funeral expenses.”


College Basketball Power Rankings 2018: Final Rankings

0

March Madness Basketball

Before fans and pundits can debate the merits of where every team that made the NCAA Tournament was placed in the March Madness bracket, there are still the last set of rankings to view in comparison to the seeding of the tournament. While national rankings may not matter in the grand scheme of things as it pertains to the postseason, they at least give some insight into how some of the more well-known and respected programs rightfully or wrongfully fared when they were ranked for the March Madness extravaganza. When all is said and done, the following power rankings are simply a badge of honor with which to proclaim some type of success for excelling during the regular season.


1. Virginia Cavaliers

While the Cavaliers inability to score more than 70 points in a game consistently could do them in during the tournament, they proved emphatically that their crushing defense is more than capable of shutting down prolific offenses. Combined with their superb coaching, the Cavaliers have the discipline and intelligence to dissect their opponents weaknesses and win it all by the end of the tournament.


2. Villanova Wildcats

Although their defense looked decidedly better during the Big East tournament than it had during the regular season, the Wildcats need to prove that they can stifle opponents that are more competitively dynamic. However, if their offense is able to get open looks consistently, their uninspired play on defense may not matter much if they are able to score 80 points or more against their opponent.


3. Gonzaga Bulldogs

Terrific on offense and defense, the Bulldogs will only fall in the tournament if they commit unforced errors down the stretch of a tight game. Without any noticeable weaknesses to speak of, the Bulldogs will be an extremely tough out in the tournament if their underrated athletes are able to perform exceptionally well on both ends of the court.


4. Michigan State Spartans

Although you could still make a case for the Spartans being the favorites to win the National Title based on their talent alone, it’s been their inconsistencies when it comes to shooting and maintaining possession of the basketball that is a serious cause for concern. If this program fails to play tough against a prolific shooting team in Bucknell, the Spartans could very well be forced to exit the tournament early yet again.


5. Kansas Jayhawks

Unselfish and potent offensively, the Jayhawks once again look like an elite program that could win it all by the end of the tournament. Unfortunately, their lackadaisical defense could leave them open to being upset if their offense goes through a brief cold spell against a strong defensive unit that is capable of shooting high percentage shots.


6. Cincinnati Bearcats

Even when their offense struggles mightily, the relentless defense of the Bearcats consistently prevents the opposition from receiving extra opportunities as they are proficient at blocking shots and garnering rebounds off of the defensive glass. If they can maintain their scoring average of 75 points per game, the Bearcats will be a difficult out for their respective opponent.


7. Michigan Wolverines

Arguably the hottest team going into the tournament, the Wolverines were highly productive on both offense and defense down the stretch of the regular season. If they can be a bit more tenacious when it comes to snatching rebounds off of the glass (33.3 RPG), their strong defensive presence combined with their clutch outside shooting abilities will be more than enough to get them to the Final Four this year.


8. Duke Blue Devils

In order for Duke to make the most of its talent-laden roster, they need to cut back on the silly turnovers (13 TPG) while getting the most of their big men when it comes to garnering rebounds off of the offensive glass. Assuming the Blue Devils capable zone defense can be effective, this program has everything and more to succeed and ultimately win a National Title.


9. North Carolina Tar Heels

If the Tar Heels are able to churn unabated, they have a fantastic chance of winning it all again by the time April 2nd comes around. Despite lacking the size of teams from years past, the Tar Heels are impressively one of the best rebounding teams in college basketball, which is vital to their being particularly deadly and unstoppable on a consistent basis.


10. Purdue Boilermakers

Despite having several tenacious athletes and a beast of a human being in Isaac Haas, the Boilermakers are actually a relatively anemic rebounding team (35 RPG). This is not to say that the Boilermakers are doomed to fail. In fact, when they are able to move the ball swiftly and effectively, they have plenty of playmakers, the most notable of whom are Vincent Edwards and Carsen Edwards.


11. Xavier Musketeers

Losing to Providence in the Big East tournament, the Musketeers confirmed the fears of anyone that had the bold idea of picking them to go far in March Madness: their defense is a serious liability. As great as their offense is, it will not matter much if they cannot prevent their respective opponents from scoring 70 points or more in a given contest.


12. Arizona Wildcats

Although the ease with which the Wildcats ran through their conference tournament may inspire some individuals to dub them a Final Four favorite, their lingering issues on defense have to be a cause for a concern for a program that is otherwise incredibly talented. However, given how productive and efficient their offense is on a consistent basis, they may be able to overcome their weaknesses on defense and overcome the controversy surrounding their program by playing tough in the tournament.


13. Tennessee Volunteers

While the Volunteers are not an electric team offensively, they are a relentless and determined defensive unit that does more than enough to allow their shooters to eventually find their rhythm. If Tennessee can score at least 70 points per game in the tournament, they will have a great chance of making it to the Elite Eight if not farther during March Madness.


14. Wichita State Shockers

Although the Shockers undoubtedly possess one of the most efficient and productive offenses in the country, their uninspired play defensively has been to their detriment on more than one occasion. If they can attack the glass with inspired zeal, they may be able to overcome their worrisome defensive issues.


15. West Virginia Mountaineers

With their full-court press defense looking far better during the Big 12 Conference tournament, the Mountaineers have the recipe for success to go far in the NCAA Tournament. With point guard Jevon Carter being the vocal and fearless leader for his team on offense and defense, the Mountaineers possess the intangibles and physical grit to take down any opponent that makes the fatal mistake of underestimating them.


16. Houston Cougars

Despite losing to Cincinnati in the American Conference tournament, the Cougars should not be underestimated during March Madness as they possess a highly physical defense and a fearless athlete in Rob Gray that can single-handedly lead his team to victory. They rarely win pretty, but Houston’s insatiable competitive nature combined with their boundless stamina is ideal for a grueling tournament format.


17. Ohio State Buckeyes

Scrappy defensively, the Buckeyes are disciplined when holding opposing offenses to minimal opportunities. Offensively, the Buckeyes are proficient at taking high percentage shots near the basket and should be in great shape to make a run in the tournament if Keita Bates-Diop is playing at a high level.


18. Auburn Tigers

When the Tigers bully their opponents on the glass (38.2 RPG) and make their shots consistently they are extremely difficult to stifle for an extended period of time. However, when their usually productive offense breaks down, they are incapable of rallying defensively against opportunistic opponents. While the Tigers should not be taken lightly, their over-reliance on their shooters to carry them to victory could be a problem if they have to face a disciplined defense in the tournament.


19. Clemson Tigers

As great as the Tigers are defensively (65.8 PAPG), they struggle to block out some of the more prolific three-point shooters in the half court. However, the Tigers do have some tenacious defenders in Marquise Reed and Gabe DeVoe, both of whom will need to be particularly vigilant when they take on a defensive minded New Mexico program in the tournament.


20. Texas Tech Red Raiders

Limping their way into the postseason, the Red Raiders have looked like a shell of themselves defensively. Worse still, their unimpressive offense has been unable to carry the load and is susceptible to being intimidated by some of the more stout defenses in college basketball. While the Red Raiders possess the talent to go far in the tournament, they need to be able to overcome some recent adversity to really shine when it matters the most.


21. Kentucky Wildcats

Winning the SEC tournament was vital to elevating the confidence of the youngest team in college basketball, which could not have come at a better time. However, the Wildcats inability to shut down their opponents when they are down from a scoring perspective is a bit of a concern, especially during March Madness.


22. Nevada Wolfpack

Losing to San Diego State in the Mountain West Conference tournament, the Wolfpack made it abundantly clear that they cannot win against reputable opponents when their offense becomes stagnant. Luckily, the Wolfpack are a strong outside shooting team (39.8 3P%), an advantage that they will need to rely on consistently if they hope to make some noise in the tournament.


23. New Mexico State Aggies

One of the better programs in the tournament that you have never heard of, the Aggies boast one of the most efficient defensive and rebounding units in college basketball (63.8 PAPG, 41.5 RPG). Although they struggle mightily when it comes to shooting the basketball, the Aggies could pose a problem for a Clemson program that is reliant upon the three-point shot to score consistently.


24. Miami Hurricanes

With their offense improving noticeably down the stretch of the regular season, the Hurricanes simply need their capable yet inconsistent defense to be rock solid if they hope to go far in March Madness. Even more importantly, Miami needs to be at least average from the free throw line if they hope to win tight defensive grudge matches in tournament play (66.3 FT%).


25. Creighton Blue Jays

Although the Blue Jays have been fairly poor from a defensive standpoint, their offense could very well be their saving grace in their first-round matchup with Kansas State in the NCAA Tournament. If Marcus Foster can be the prolific and dynamic shooter that he was during the regular season (49 FG%, 42.2 3P%), the Blue Jays could be a surprisingly adept competitor in March Madness.

Although the first round of March Madness is nearly here to binge in all of it’s stress-filled and intense glory, there are actually a few play-in games to view before the madness officially commences. While some of these initial affairs may not be the most exciting affairs to watch, some of these programs have been known to persevere through both this initial contest and ultimately during the actual tournament. Even though some may view the following programs as being overrated or receiving preferential treatment for getting in over their mid-major competitors, they will at least have to prove that they belong as part of the main field by winning on an important albeit less notable stage. If nothing else, these four contests are enjoyable if for no other reason than to appease college basketball fanatics until the all-day extravaganza of competitive tournament play starts shortly after these contests.
