If you want to be in the NBA, it helps to be, among other things, excellent at the playing of basketball.If you want to be in the NBA draft, basketball skills aren’t required.There is a group of 18 people who are officially “draft eligible” for Thursday’s festivities at Barclays Center in New York, and they have one thing in common: They will not be getting drafted. The NBA has them on what it calls the B List — “unknown individuals,” officially. All that is required is fill out the necessary paperwork to enter the draft, a process that has allowed some with no real basketball ability to apply.It’s a phenomenon that’s not new. It’s gone on for nearly a half-century; some do it and generate attention, others have stayed quiet. It’s gimmicky, sure, but the rules are clear: If someone meets the general criteria laid out by the NBA, then they can become “eligible” for the draft.A law student from Florida named Jordan Haber is one of this year’s ...Trevor Williams outduels Miles Mikolas in rain as the Nationals cool off the Cardinals, 3-0

SANTIAGO — Manuel Araya, quien fuera chofer del Nobel de Literatura chileno Pablo Neruda y que por décadas afirmó que el poeta fue envenenado antes de exiliarse, murió producto de un aneurisma, se informó el miércoles.Araya siempre cuestionó la versión oficial de que la muerte de Neruda ocurrida el 23 de septiembre de 1973 -12 días después del golpe militar- se debió a complicaciones de un cáncer de próstata con metástasis.El conductor falleció la víspera, a los 77 años, por un aneurisma que lo mantenía hospitalizado luego de sufrir problemas cardiovasculares el 12 de junio, informó el miércoles el Partido Comunista, en el que Neruda militó toda su vida. ¿Murió enfermo o lo envenenaron?

DENVER (AP) — An eclectic crowd of thousands — podcasters, vendors, startups, seekers — swarmed a psychedelics conference in Denver this week to experience everything from a dimly lit hall packed with kaleidoscope art and a wide-ranging lineup of speakers from a former Republican governor to NFL star quarterback Aaron Rodgers.The conference, put on by a psychedelic advocacy group, took place months after Colorado’s voters decided to join Oregon in decriminalizing psychedelic mushrooms. While it’s a sign of growing cultural acceptance for substances that proponents say may offer benefits for things like post-traumatic stress disorder and alcoholism, medical experts caution that more research is needed on the drugs’ efficacy and the extent of the risks of psychedelics, which can cause hallucinations.
