Philadelphia Flyers re-sign Noah Cates to 4-year contract extension after career season
The Philadelphia Flyers have re-signed center Noah Cates to a four-year contract with a $4 million annual average value, general manager Danny Briere announced Tuesday. Cates is the latest in a string of restricted free agents the Flyers have reupped. Cates, who was scheduled to become an RFA on July 1, is coming off a career-high 16-goal season in which he established himself as one of the club's leaders. The 26-year-old forward finished the 2024-25 season with 37 points and averaged 15:53 of ice time with a plus-3 rating, which was second on the Flyers. Cates has 102 points in 235 career games since being drafted in the fifth round of the 2017 NHL draft. Cates is the third RFA-to-be that the Flyers have re-signed this offseason. Last week, the orange and black re-signed Tyson Foerster to a two-year, $7.5 million extension and defenseman Helge Grans to a two-year, $1.575 million deal. Cam York, a 2019 first-round draft pick, forward Jakob Pelletier and minor-league forwards Zayde Wisdom and Elliot Desnoyers are the team's remaining RFAs. Last month, the Flyers hired Rick Tocchet as their new head coach. When introducing Tocchet, a member of the team's Hall of Fame, Briere said he viewed the 61-year-old as their "long-term solution." By signing Cates to a four-year deal rather than a bridge deal, it's safe to say the Flyers' front office views the center as part of the rebuild's finished product. The Flyers have 11 selections, including seven in the first two rounds, in the 2025 NHL draft coming up at the end of the month.

AI recruiting is all the rage — as employers hand the screening of new hires over to robots: ‘Seemed insane'
It's the rise of the robo-recruiters. Employers are turning to artificial intelligence to screen potential new human hires. AI recruiting software is increasingly subbing in for actual people during preliminary interviews — with a fake person quizzing candidates and inquiring about their skills, before delivering their findings to managers. Replacing recruiters with AI technology to screen new hires is becoming popular with employers. Jacob Lund – 'A year ago this idea seemed insane,' Arsham Ghahramani, co-founder and chief executive officer of Toronto-based AI recruiting startup Ribbon, told Bloomberg. 'Now it's quite normalized.' Companies say the goal is to ultimately make the interview process more efficient and accessible for candidates — without needing human recruiters to be online all day. For employers, particularly those hiring at high volume, the switch can save hundreds of hours of manpower per week. For others who've seen a dramatic rise in candidates employing AI to answer interview questions, they're simply meeting the market where it's at. Canadian nonprofit Propel Impact, a social impact investing organization, said the rise of the use of ChatGPT for application materials had become widespread. 'They were all the same,' Cheralyn Chok, Propel's co-founder and executive director, told Bloomberg. 'Same syntax, same patterns.' Recruiters at companies hiring at high volumes can spend hundreds of hours a week screening candidates. Atstock Productions – The shift comes as a majority of Americans polled last year by Consumer Reports said that they were uncomfortable with the use of AI in high-stakes decisions about their lives. The implementation of using AI to interact with job candidates on screen has been in the works for years at this point, according to Bloomberg. 'The first year ChatGPT came out, recruiters weren't really down for this,' HeyMilo CEO Sabashan Ragavan said. 'But the technology has gotten a lot better as time has gone on.' But with all things tech, it's not always 100% glitch-free. Some TikTok users have posted their experiences with AI recruiters, with one in particular going viral when her interviewer at a Stretch Lab in Ohio malfunctioned and repeated the phrase 'vertical bar pilates' 14 times in 25 seconds. 'I thought it was really creepy and I was freaked out,' she told 404 Media in a recent interview about the AI interviewer, powered by startup Apriora. 'I didn't find it funny at all until I had posted it on TikTok, and the comments made me feel better.' Aaron Wang, Apriora's co-founder and CEO, claimed that the error was due to the model misreading the term 'Pilates,' Bloomberg reported. 'We're not going to get it right every single time,' he said. 'The incident rate is well under 0.001%.'

Canadian wildfire smoke could affect several sensitive groups, AHN pulmonologist says
The haze Pittsburgh-area residents will see in the sky on Tuesday is coming from wildfires in Canada. Blown by the current prevailing winds, that smoke is a point of concern, especially for the vulnerable. While the smoke may have come a long way, somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,300 miles, the distance hasn't diminished the threat. "You know the people with bad COPD or asthma, or people who have underlying lung disease for other reasons, those are the folks I really worry about," said Allegheny Health Network pulmonologist Dr. Tariq Cheema. What about the general population? "Children and older adults. That's the population." Dr. Cheema says that what you see is what you breathe. "Especially with these particles and smoke, you know, they can sometimes embed in your lungs, and then it irritates the lungs, and then you start coughing. You start coughing up all that stuff," Dr. Cheema said. Even if you don't have chronic lung issues, we're all breathing the same haze or smoke. "You'll just kind of feel like the air is heavy. Some people may have an irritant, they'll start coughing, a dry cough, just like you would be exposed to, like at a barbecue, or you're exposed to somebody else smoking around you," Dr. Cheema said. The coming rain could bring relief. What can you do if you're in one of these vulnerable groups? "Stay indoors, if you can. Keep the air conditioning on, keep the windows closed. If you do have to go outside, wear a mask, an N95 if you have one. If not, even a regular mask will do." While the amount of smoke right now is fairly light, it's building and settling in. The rain can't come soon enough.
