SAN DIEGO — Taking the mound Thursday afternoon for his third career Opening Day start, Logan Webb could look behind him and see a new center fielder, Jung Hoo Lee. He could shift focus and see Nick Ahmed at shortstop, turn his head slightly and Matt Chapman at third base next to him. Straight ahead, Bob Melvin looked on from his new perch on the top step of the third-base dugout. And yet, in a 6-3 loss to the Padres, who could blame Webb for feeling a little déjà vu. The Giants’ ace was lights-out, putting whatever ailed him this spring in the rearview mirror while retiring the Padres in orde ..read more

Noah Bierman | Los Angeles Times (TNS) WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris looked up from prepared remarks in the White House’s ornate Roosevelt Room this month to make sure the reporters in the room could hear her clearly: “Nobody should have to go to jail for smoking weed.” Harris’ “marijuana reform roundtable” was a striking reminder of how the politics have shifted for a onetime prosecutor raised in the “Just Say No” era of zero-tolerance drug enforcement. As President Biden seeks badly needed support from young people, his administration is banking on cannabis policy as a potential ..read more

By Gretchen McKay, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Spring weather is here, and I’ll bet you can’t wait to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. My bike is already at the ready in the backseat of my car, awaiting the days when I can hop onto a bike path or trail after work and ride with the wind on my face and setting sun in my eye. Spring is also a good idea to have a few hand-held meals like these easy Mexican meat-and-potato empanadas waiting in the fridge. When it’s time to eat, all you have to do is throw them into the oven for a few minutes to reheat. If the thought of making fresh dough scares you ..read more

Made with the support of the event’s namesake organization and said to be inspired by true stories, “The Beautiful Game” focuses mainly on fellas comprising the English club and their coach, a former professional star player.

They endure the emotional torture of having to hold their child down as the clinician sticks them with one vaccine after another. “The first shots he got, I probably cried more than he did,” said Remy Anthes, who was pushing her 6-month-old son, Dorian, back and forth in his stroller in Oakland, California. “The look in her eyes, it’s hard to take,” said Jill Lovitt, recalling how her infant daughter Jenna reacted to some recent vaccines. “Like ..read more

People are living longer. Here’s how to stay current on the topic of aging
Monterey County Herald: Breaking News, Sports, Business, Entertainment & Monterey News
by Helen Dennis
4h ago
The topic of aging seems to be everywhere and relevant to almost every aspect of life. That was not the case in the mid-1970s when I started in the field. Being a newcomer at the time, I decided to get a sense of what was considered newsworthy and important by tracking age-related happenings in the print media. I clipped articles from four daily newspapers and occasional periodicals, cut and pasted them (literally) on a sheet of paper, noted the source and date, punched three holes in the single sheet of paper and inserted the sheet into a three-ring binder. (Yes, this is history.) In addition ..read more
