The program will return at the spring meetings next year while league officials examine ways to make it more effective and efficient, Goodell said, including the potential for increased interaction between coaching prospects and general managers.

(AP Photo/Kin Cheung)Charlie Duckworth, a co-founder of Community Sauna Baths, said it all started in 2022 when he and fellow “sauna nutters” installed two small saunas — including one in a horse box — in a disused parking lot in the trendy neighborhood of Hackney.
The not-for-profit social enterprise proved so popular that it has since expanded to four sites across the capital, with two more opening soon.Charlie Duckworth, co-founder of the Hackney Wick Community Sauna Baths, poses for a photograph, in London, Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2025.

A large part of the appeal for many fans is that saunas serve as “a place of communion,” much like a pub or a church, Duckworth said.“Sauna lowers inhibitions and also gives you a feeling of mild euphoria,” not unlike the effects of social drinking, he said. “I think it’s an excellent place to socialize.”
Around the U.K., the number of public sauna sites has jumped from 45 in 2023 to 147 so far this year, according to the British Sauna Society.

Pélissier noted that Haiti’s National Police is severely understaffed — there is one officer for every 12,000 residents. He said that intelligence and counterintelligence also is greatly lacking.Jean-Michel Moïse, Haiti’s defense minister, echoed those concerns.
The military has about 1,000 members with limited training, he said.“They are unable, still now, to effectively (fight) the gangs, which are very strong, very well armed, very well financed,” Moïse said. “Haiti is on the brink of being fully controlled by criminal gangs, and we cannot allow that to happen.”
