The moves come as coronavirus, or COVID-19, has spread across the world and is now considered a global pandemic. MORE ON COVID-19: March Madness | Events in U.S. | Events in Canada Columbus Blue Jackets Less than a day after Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine recommended “no events with spectators other than the athletes, parents, and others essential to the game” for indoor events, DeWine said on March 11 that he would issue an order to that effect....

While we don’t know exactly where the next storm will hit, the Gulf Coast—home to the top five oil refineries in the United States and several major ports—is a good bet. A direct hit there is a direct hit to gas prices, supply chains and Americans’ wallets. The American people are under tremendous strain from a two-year string of crises, from a virus pandemic to war in Ukraine. The result is record-high gas prices, inflation rates not seen in 40 years and unprecedented supply-chain disruptions—including shortages of goods as essential as baby formula....

Teachers are being stretched thin. Most are being asked to ensure students follow safety protocols while catching up on 18 months of learning loss. All the while, they need to be prepared to transition their lessons to remote instruction at any minute. Managing this added pressure caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has not been easy for educators. “I’ve never seen this kind of stress,” Goetz tells Verywell. “It’s a stressful profession in general, but people are panicking, breaking down, and wanting to leave the profession altogether....

Three days after Bears quarterback Jay Cutler passed Luckman as Chicago’s franchise leader in touchdown passes (138), Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick threw two in Thursday’s game against the Bills to surpass the Hall of Famer on another all-time list. Fitzpatrick’s 31-yard touchdown pass to Eric Decker in the fourth quarter was the 138th of his career, good for most all time by an Ivy League quarterback. MORE: Week 10 NFL Power Rankings | Jets’ Ryan Fitzpatrick may undergo thumb surgery Friday...

It works by binding to penicillin-binding proteins of bacteria. These bacteria are essential to the creation and maintenance of bacterial cell walls. If left alone, bacteria can rapidly multiply in the body and cause harm. Amoxil inhibits these penicillin-binding proteins so that susceptible bacteria are unable to continue replicating, killing the bacteria. This action is known as bactericidal killing. Amoxil comes in various formulations. It is commercially available through prescription only as capsules, extended/immediate-release tablets, chewable tablets, and suspensions....

The National Response Center (NRC), which is staffed by the Coast Guard and notifies other agencies of disasters for quick responses, received two early calls about the spill. The first was from an anchored ship that noticed a sheen on the water on Friday evening. Six hours later, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported spotting a possible oil slick on satellite imagery, according to reports by the California Office of Emergency Services....

When met by the press after playing his first match for Selangor upon his return to his boyhood club, against MISC-MIFA on Wednesday, Malaysia captain Amri Yahyah was posed several questions regarding the national team. The 36-year old player was reluctant to comment extensively on the recent hiring of new Malaysia head coach Nelo Vingada, whose appointment was announced by the Malaysian FA (FAM) on Monday, claiming that he is unsure whether he will still be in the new boss’ plans....

The engineering manager, who is based in Oakland, California, was seen clocking up her fifth consecutive win during Tuesday’s episode of the show, earning her $170,400 in total winnings and securing a place in the Tournament of Champions. But on Monday night’s installment, the Ohio native revealed that her then three-win streak left her one victory behind beating the record of someone she knows personally. Raising the topic, host Ken Jennings asked: “You’re an impressive Jeopardy!...

Government officials, humanitarians and business executives have batted this question around for years, but last week Yusuf Hamied came up with an unequivocal answer. The chairman of Bombay pharmaceutical firm Cipla announced that the company would provide AIDS cocktails to be distributed through Medecins sans Frontieres, the nonprofit health organization, for a mere $350 a year for each patient. Cipla stipulates only that MSF administer the drugs free of charge....

That was six years ago, and Ana (not her real name) has yet to return to Mexico. Now 35, she has climbed through the ranks of the service economy from laundrywoman to maid to a successful broker for illegal cleaning women. Last year Ana made $50,000, and because her business is off the books, the money is tax-free. Such success has not come without a price. Ana cannot go home....

The ruling went directly against the wishes of the twins’ parents. Known only as devout Roman Catholics from the small Mediterranean island of Gozo, they have said all along that they do not want medical intervention. “This is not God’s will,” they wrote the court. “Everybody has the right of life, so why should we kill one of our daughters to enable the other one to survive?” Backed by powerful members of the Catholic clergy, they will almost certainly appeal the decision to Britain’s House of Lords....

Levees, flood walls, and other, “hard,” forms of flood protection are popular. Their construction is backed by billions of dollars in the bipartisan infrastructure bill, with more funding available in other federal legislation. These structures can be effective, providing a predictable way to reduce risks from rising waters, surging seas, and raging rivers. Levees also create an appealing mix of jobs, including white-collar positions in engineering, and blue-collar jobs in construction....

Not only are both Bhutto and Musharraf incapable of delivering what they are promising each other after months of secret, back-channel dealings that have been promoted by the United States and Britain, the agreement, if it is struck, may prove to be more divisive and destabilizing than unifying. “This deal is bound to promote confrontation and divisiveness,” says retired Pakistani Army Lt. Gen. Talat Masood. “It’s counterproductive to the objectives of moderation and national reconciliation that the U....

The Azzurri’s final hopes of participating in the finals next summer were extinguished on Monday as they drew 0-0 with Sweden at San Siro to complete a 1-0 aggregate defeat which sends the Scandinavians to Russia instead. Napoli 23/20 for Serie A title Ventura’s short-lived tenure has now come to an end after he became the first Italy coach since Alfredo Foni in 1958 to fail to lead his players through the qualification process....

Meteorites containing water are probably not scarce, Zolensky says. But by the time researchers get their hands on the rocks, minerals that trap the water have dissolved away, and the water has evaporated. Worse, some researchers destroy the aqueous evidence by cutting meteorites open with rock saws and water. “I’m betting this isn’t such a rare find; it’s just that people have been mistreating their meteorites,” Zolensky says. Of course, Zolensky’s team did get a bit lucky....

Anderson Lee Aldrich, 22, is accused of killing five people and injuring more than a dozen others before being wrestled to the ground inside Club Q in Colorado Springs on November 19. Aldrich, who attorneys say is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns, began firing indiscriminately with an AR-15-style rifle as soon as they entered the club, according to an arrest affidavit written the day after the shooting and unsealed on Wednesday evening....

On Tuesday, it was reported Philadelphia had signed center Andre Drummond to a one-year deal, uniting him with rival Joel Embiid. This feud between the two talented big men dates back several years to Oct. 23, 2017, when Embiid said that Drummond doesn’t play any defense, a remark Drummond responded to on Twitter. The two continued a back-and-forth for a while, with Drummond saying that Embiid couldn’t play back-to-back games and Embiid saying that he owns “a lot of real estate in [Andre Drummond’s] head” and that he was “on my way to build more....

The Portuguese only took over at the Russian Premier League side in March after parting company with Tottenham in December 2013. Villas-Boas has made a strong start to life with Zenit, which is a point ahead of Lokomotiv Moscow for the Russian Premier League lead with four games remaining. Zenit's performances under Villas-Boas have led to speculation that he could leave the Saint Petersburg club. Barcelona has been touted as a potential destination for the 36-year-old following a season of relative struggle for the Catalan club that has put coach Gerardo Martino's future in doubt....

But there was a price to pay for her sanity: the healthier she became, the more she grieved for her five children, whom she drowned in her Houston home two years ago. Two weeks ago Yates suffered a major psychotic setback–her second relapse since being sentenced to life in prison in March 2002. Delusional, Yates is apparently trying to kill herself by refusing to eat, says Houston attorney George Parnham, who visited Yates on Sept....
