Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:58:19 GMT

La acción de la Corte Suprema el viernes con respecto a un fármaco clave utilizado en los abortos con medicamentos puede hacer que muchas mujeres se pregunten: ¿Qué significa esto para mí?El viernes, la corte preservó el acceso a la mifepristona, que se usa en la forma más común de aborto en los EEUU, al rechazar las restricciones de la corte inferior mientras continúa la demanda.La acción de la corte deja sin cambios el acceso a la mifepristona al menos hasta el próximo año, mientras se desarrollan las apelaciones. Mientras tanto, los médicos, las clínicas y los proveedores de telesalud están tomando medidas para garantizar que aún puedan ofrecer servicios de aborto en el futuro.Para los pacientes, ha habido confusión “sobre si pueden o no acceder a sus citas”, dijo la Dra. Becca Simon, médica de medicina familiar en Pensilvania que realiza abortos. “Estamos tratando de calmar a la gente”.¿ESTÁ DISPONIBLE EL TRATAMIENTO HABITUAL CON DOS MEDICAMENTOS?Sí. Las personas aún pueden obte...

Jokic has triple-double, Nuggets beat Wolves for 3-0 lead

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:58:19 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Nikola Jokic had his seventh career triple-double in the playoffs with 20 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists for the Denver Nuggets, who fended off the Minnesota Timberwolves 120-108 to take a 3-0 lead in the first-round NBA playoff series Friday night.Michael Porter Jr. had 25 points and nine rebounds and Jamal Murray added 18 points and nine assists as Denver withstood another dashing performance by Minnesota's Anthony Edwards to send a loud crowd of white-shirt-wearing fans home from another frustrating postseason loss.Game 4 is here Sunday night. Coach Prime’s spring game to preview fresh-look Colorado Edwards scored 36 points to raise his series total to 95, Karl-Anthony Towns had 27 points after totaling only 21 points over the first two games and Rudy Gobert had 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Wolves, but a defensive lapse here and a rushed 3-pointer there was enough to seal their fate against a well-rounded Nuggets team that's finally healthy enough fo...

MSG crowd rattles misfiring Cavs in big Knicks playoff victory

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:58:19 GMT

It was sometimes ugly, sometimes beautiful and overall dominant from the Knicks.New York didn’t win style points Friday night but dominated where it mattered most — on the scoreboard — riding a resurgent RJ Barrett and an energized crowd to a 99-79 victory to take a 2-1 series lead.The Cavs shot just 36.8 percent on the evening, with Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein agreeing that the visitors were rattled by the raucous Garden fans.“Yeah, I think coming into a crowd like this, not many people are used to it,” Hartenstein said. “Madison Square Garden, the playoffs especially. I’ve been in a couple series now. Nothing was like it.”Garland, the Game 2 hero, looked especially flustered, missing (shield your eyes, children) 17 of his 21 attempts. The Cavs managed the fewest points of any team in any game of the 2022-23 season.Much of Cleveland’s poor production was about the Knicks’ swarming defense. Their active hands and ...

Lowry: Trump is the moderate dominating ’24 race

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:58:19 GMT

Back in 2016, the most moderate Republican candidate in the race was Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who lost everywhere except his home state.Perhaps the most moderate candidate in the field as of this moment is Donald Trump.If you want a Republican who won’t cut spending or start foreign wars, Trump is still your man.Added to this now is clearly a discomfort with the fight over abortion in the post-Roe environment.Trump’s main line of attack against Ron DeSantis is from the left. He’s hitting the Florida governor hard for his past support for reining in Social Security and Medicare.He’s also called the governor’s culture-war clash with Disney “so unnecessary” and “a political stunt,” while not entering the fray in the conservative war with Bud Light.Of course, Trump’s personal power is such that he’s made loyalty to himself the standard for being considered right wing — orthodox conservatives who reject Trump are more ...

Annie Brobst & Raelyn Nelson kick off ‘Weed, Wine & Whiskey’ tour in Boston

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:58:19 GMT

The name of Annie Brobst and Raelyn Nelson’s tour, “Weed, Wine & Whiskey,” might provide a clue.The two women are actually mutual admirers who never met face to face before the first night of the tour, which hits City Winery on Sunday and will feature them as an acoustic duo. They share a Boston-based agent, Gary Marino, who brought the two together after guesting on a podcast that Nelson, who is also a sometime comic and actress, does about the connection between comedy and music.“We’re internet friends and we haven’t even sung together yet,”Brobst said in a group interview this week. Separately the two have very different styles; Brobst tends to be gentler and more acoustic, while Nelson is more punk-inspired. “It sounds less punk when you strip it down,” Nelson says. “You can play anything with an acoustic guitar and it’s country.”Adds Brobst, “What we bring to the table as strong women, independent artists and songwriters — that’s where we align. I think Raelyn brings ...

Editorial: Housing proposal would punish those with good credit

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:58:19 GMT

The Biden administration wants homebuyers who have good credit to cover the risks of lending to homebuyers who don’t. Congressional Republicans should stand united against this latest White House effort to erode the value of personal responsibility.The New York Post reported this week that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are prepared to overhaul the fees built into mortgages issued at private banks. The charges — known as low-level price adjustments — are based on a handful of factors and often absorbed into a buyer’s mortgage rate.Under the Biden plan, those with better credit scores would face additional surcharges while those with substandard credit scores would see fees cut nearly in half.“When absorbed into a long-term mortgage rate, the increase is the equivalent of slightly less than a quarter percentage point in mortgage rate,” the Post reported in reference to buyers with higher credit ratings. “On a $400,000 loan with a 6 percent mortgage rate, that buyer could expect their mon...

Moore: Regulatory octopus strangling U.S. economy

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:58:19 GMT

Every schoolkid knows — or used to know — that the United States has three branches of government. At least that’s what the textbooks say.But really, we have four branches of government.That’s because Congress — the legislative branch — has for decades delegated lawmaking authority to the unconstitutional fourth branch of the U.S. government: independent regulatory agencies. By some estimates, there are more than 300 of these agencies sticking their nose into every aspect of American life and business, from what kind of car you can buy to the temperature setting on your thermostat to what you can build on your own private property.Who are these regulatory czars accountable to? Who elected them?To his credit, former President Donald Trump tried to rein in the regulatory blob. He promised to rescind two regulations for every new regulation enacted while he was president. He actually repealed about five rules for every new one.But President Joe Biden LOVES to regulate.On hi...

Tsipursky: Hybrid working is key to a greener future

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:58:19 GMT

This Earth Day, it’s time to consider the positive environmental impact of hybrid working. Recent research by IWG and Arup has highlighted that working closer to home can significantly reduce carbon emissions in major cities. Embracing hybrid working models is an essential and practical step toward reducing our carbon footprint and protecting our planet.IWG and Arup’s research suggests that hybrid working can reduce carbon emissions by up to a staggering 87%, thanks to a decrease in building and transport emissions. With such significant potential carbon savings, it’s time we re-evaluate our traditional office-centric work models.The study focused on several larger cities. Atlanta led the pack with a potential 90% reduction in carbon emissions, followed by Los Angeles at 87% and New York at 82%. The research found that daily commuting to city center offices has the largest carbon footprint.A crucial aspect of reducing transportation emissions is the increased adopt...

Dear Abby: Fiance’s sister center of family’s attention

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:58:19 GMT

Dear Abby: I am marrying the most amazing man next year. We have been together for six years. I have always gotten along with his family and know they will be great in-laws. However, as time has gone by, I’ve noticed that they cater more and more to my fiance’s older sister. She’s nearly 30, but she acts like she’s 13.When she has an argument with her spouse, she calls my fiance and makes it sound so dramatic that he drops everything and runs to her rescue. Invariably, it turns out to not be as bad as she was saying. She also talks so badly about her spouse to her parents that I feel embarrassed for him. If she’s sick or home alone (her husband travels for work), she sleeps at her parents’ house with her infant son instead of staying in her own home, which is a town away.Her family does EVERYTHING for her — things that a capable adult should do for herself. Many times, my fiance and I have been on a date or spending time with each other, and...
