Toronto has several players who could have value on the market, including sluggers Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion. But Cafardo indicates veteran LHP Mark Buehrle, "given his ability to pitch in either league at a high level and to work quickly and effectively," could be the real prize if the Jays decide to sell. Buehrle has been of the team's few bright spots this year. He's 5 -1 with a 2....
Early Attempts Fail to Generate Consumer Support Disposable hearing aid technology is still in its infancy and not without its challenges. One of the early entrants into the marketplace was the Songbird disposable hearing aid which boasted an average lifespan of around 400 hours (roughly 16 days). With the Songbird, you no longer needed to worry about batteries. You would simply order a new one when the old one failed and pop it into your ear without any fuss or bother....
While styes can be caused by bacteria infecting an eyelid gland or eyelash follicle, good hygiene usually keeps these at bay. Stopping these from spreading to someone else is as simple as avoiding sharing towels, pillowcases, or makeup with someone with a stye. Such a stye, sometimes spelled sty and also known medically as a hordeolum, is a painful, red bump that can appear on either the inside or the outside of your eyelid....
For many who are pro-choice, there is a difference between answering the question of when life begins scientifically and answering it morally. No one seriously doubts that the newone (my hopefully less ideologically loaded term for the “fetus” or “unborn child” or “prenatal human organism”) is, biologically, alive and human—science tells us that. The issue for many pro-choice advocates is that “being merely biologically alive isn’t what matters: it’s having a story, a biography, a ’life’ in that sense....
GameStop Winners, Losers and Winner/Losers: The story still has legs. Ignore columnists who tell you the day trader crusade is a blip. There are hearings in the House of Representatives coming up on February 18—and I would guess some action on the Senate side at some point. The CEO of Robinhood, for instance, will be grilled about his firm’s controversial trading restrictions on GameStop, AMC, Tootsie and other day trader favorites....
Sales of new single-family houses in May were 10.7 percentage points above the revised total of 629,000 in April, when new home sales plunged 16.6 percent month-on-month to their lowest level since April 2020, as costs continued rising for both home builders and potential buyers. May’s new home sales were still 5.9 percent below the May 2021 estimate of 740,000. Why Are New Home Sales Stalling? First-time buyers are being squeezed out of the market, as a combination of soaring mortgage rates, the limited inventory available, soaring inflation and record-high home prices—34 percent higher now than two years ago—is hitting them hard....
And the feeling is widespread. Families earning any where between $20,000 and $200,000 call themselves “middle class” and feel themselves on a financial treadmil Gingrich declared himself “middle class” last week, explaining why he found it hard to turn down a $4.5 million book contract. Middle class is a state of mind, not a financial statement: the sense of frustration expands to fill the pocketbook allotted to it. And there are good reason why middle-class malaise per sists, and won’t be cured by a tax break or an upswing in the economic cycle....
Flu vaccines come in the form of shots and the FluMist nasal spray. The CDC recommends that most people over six months of age get a flu vaccine each year. Unfortunately, many people opt not to for a variety of reasons, from misinformation about flu shot effectiveness to concerns about possible health risks, side effects, or allergies. Most common side effects, such as a low-grade fever or a sore arm, shouldn’t stop you from getting your annual flu shot....
Within Argentina, Cristina Fernàndez de Kirchner’s presidential bid will be seen as the latest in a series of important roles assigned to women throughout the tumultuous history of the Perónist movement. Juan Domingo Perón’s fiery second wife Evita mobilized fanatical support for the onetime general among the country’s working classes before leukemia took her at 33 in 1952; Perón’s third wife Isabel succeeded him as president upon his death in 1974....
Sampaoli found himself in the eye of the storm when a video circulated of him being stopped by the authorities in a routine traffic check in the early hours of December 24. The ex-Sevilla man was returning from his daughter’s wedding in his hometown Casilda, Santa Fe province when he was pulled over, and quickly became enraged at the situation. “You earn 100 pesos (roughly £4) a month, idiot,” he yelled at the officer, while onlookers later had to restrain him as the argument continued....
Arian Foster was a four-time Pro Bowler and led the NFL in rushing in 2010. He’s calling it a career after eight seasons. PHOTOS: Best images from Week 7 Foster made the announcement Monday night, releasing a statement on Twitter via Uninterrupted, saying his “ambition and body are no longer on the same page.” Signed by the Texans in 2009 as an undrafted rookie from Tennessee, Foster’s career was often plagued by injuries....
Arizona and Florida have done the most to take up this challenge to diversify schools. Both states have seen strong gains in overall academic performance—as well as large achievement gains for low-income students, students with disabilities and minority students. Back in the early 1990s, both states had student bodies that were more than 60 percent white and scored very poorly on national exams. Today both have “majority-minority” student populations and much higher academic achievement....
The Coyotes acquired the 34-year-old forward from Colorado in exchange for Kevin Connauton back in June. They were looking to bring in not only a player who could provide much-needed offense, but add depth and a veteran presence to the locker room. MORE: Coyotes’ Michael Grabner talks overcoming adversity, self-doubt As Soderberg prepared to suit up for his third NHL team, there weren’t nerves or concerns over adjusting to a new locker room after spending four years with the Avs and finding stability — there was excitement....
“It is time for the far left to respect our judicial system, and it is time for administrators at ASU to stand up for the rule of law and protect their students from these thugs,” Matt Salmon, former U.S. representative, said in a statement Monday. The protest was organized by four student organizations at the school, concerning the fact that Rittenhouse testified during his November trial that he was a college student taking online classes provided at the university, which was confirmed by ASU at the time....
The results of the audit, conducted by the firm Cyber Ninjas at the behest of the GOP-controlled state Senate, were released on Friday and showed that Biden beat former President Donald Trump by an even larger margin than in the official vote count. Regardless, Borrelli insisted that the Maricopa County audit showed there was an Arizona election “cover up” during a Monday interview on former Trump adviser Steve Bannon’s War Room: Pandemic podcast....
Rogers joined Zak Paine on a Saturday live stream on the RedPill78 podcast where they both pushed claims the 2020 Presidential Election was somehow stolen from Donald Trump. The Republican Senator, who last month earned herself an endorsement from Trump for her ongoing claims of election fraud, praised Paine for promoting baseless allegations of widespread fraud. During the podcast, Rogers said: “Kudos to you Zak, because you are keeping the flame alive of our First Amendment....
Edwards on Monday named Jayden Daniels the starter, making him the first true freshman to start at quarterback at Arizona State, according to the Arizona Republic. His backup will be another true freshman: Joey Yellen. “It says a lot about him and his ability right now to do some things we feel real good about,” Edwards said of Daniels. “That’s how we’re going to roll.” It’s how Daniels has rolled since he was a freshman at Cajon High School in San Bernardino, California, and was named starting varsity QB....
“I was so appalled and disgusted,” Chinenye Okudoh, an African-American student at ASU, told AZcentral.com. “I just felt completely hurt. A lot of the comments are, ‘What’s the big deal? It’s just a black face.’ What they don’t understand is that there is a major history behind blackface. ASU has a tradition of “blackout” games and students are encouraged to wear all black clothes to coincide with the team’s black uniforms....
The movie star and former governor of California posted a heartfelt 9-minute video in which he addressed Russian soldiers, Russia’s citizens and President Vladimir Putin directly. In the social media video, which can be seen here, Schwarzenegger told the soldiers invading Ukraine that they had been lied to by the Russian government, and dispelled myths that the Ukrainian government is filled with Nazis. He reminded them that the United Nations voted almost unanimously that Russia was the aggressor in the war....
The Terminator star and former governor of California released a video on Twitter on Sunday encouraging fans to “listen to the experts, ignore the morons” and “stay at home as much as possible” in the midst of the current coronavirus outbreak wreaking havoc on the U.S. and several other countries. “See, the important thing is that you stay at home, because there’s a curfew now. No one is allowed out, especially someone that is, like, 72 years old....
