Phillies’ ace Nola loses no-hitter in 7th, wins game 8-3 over Tigers

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 20:58:48 GMT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Aaron Nola’s strikeout total was up — the Phillies’ ace would tie his career-high with 12 — and so was his pitch count. As Nola delivered with two outs in the seventh inning, and a shot at baseball history still on the line, manager Rob Thomson wasn’t sure just how much longer he would let the right-hander go.“I wouldn’t have chanced his health just for that,” Thomson said.Nick Maton took care of Thomson’s no-no call when the Tigers’ third baseman put one into the second deck for their first hit of the game.No worries. Trea Turner’s best game with the Phillies and a shutdown effort from the bullpen kept the game in control and preserved Nola’s finest outing of the season.Nola took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, Turner homered twice for the first time with the Phillies among his four hits to lead Philadelphia to its third straight win, 8-3 over the Detroit Tigers on Monday night.Nola (5-4) fanned 10 and had fac...

Bernardo transfer to be reviewed after backlash

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 20:58:48 GMT

Correctional Services Canada (CSC) says it will review its decision to move Paul Bernardo from Millhaven Institution to medium security La Macaza Institution in Quebec after outrage in the wake of the decision.Bernardo, who was a serial rapist eventually turned murderer with his then wife Karla Homolka, has been serving a life sentence since 1995 with no chance at parole for 25 years. He has spent the last decade at Millhaven and before that was at Kingston Penitentiary. Last week, CSC announced that Bernardo was being moved from the maximum security prison, drawing ire from the public and politicians alike. In a statement on Monday afternoon, the CSC apologized for any pain caused by the decision and said it would be reviewing the transfer.“The Correctional Service of Canada takes its work very seriously. Decisions are taken with utmost care for public safety and victims rights, and follow the rule of law,” the statement reads.“First, we want to acknowledge that ...

Loved ones still searching for answers in restaurant double homicide

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 20:58:48 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Loved ones are still searching for answers after two employees were killed inside the American Elm restaurant in Denver back in April.  Emerall Vaughn-Dahler and Ignacio Gutierrez Morales were shot inside the restaurant on 38th and Raleigh in the West Highlands. So far, no suspects have been arrested. FOX31 has checked almost daily with police but has been given no suspect description and no hint of a motive, something Emerall’s husband, Andrew Dahler, said has been frustrating.“It’s absolutely frustrating. It’s something that I think about daily,” Dahler said. “This person hasn’t been caught. We don’t have any answers at all.” Aurora woman’s apartment shot up in the middle of the night It's fueling not only frustration but thoughts of fear. “It’s something that’s been more of a daily occurrence. Opening the door and not knowing if someone is going to be there looking for me," Dahler said. “When you have no answers, you just don’t know how to feel. T...

Editorial: Sununu an example for GOP Trump opponents

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 20:58:48 GMT

The GOP owes New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu a note of thanks for his wise decision in the runup to the 2024 presidential election.He decided not to run.It’s not that he doesn’t have the goods, Sununu remains popular in N.H. because he’s a sharp, concise thinker who gets things done. He has a 61% job approval rating and just won re-election to a fourth term. In a contest not overshadowed by Donald Trump and Joe Biden, he’d be a standout.But 2024 is all about the rematch, and it’s a smart politician who knows not to waste his energy, time, money and the voters’ patience.Remember the full-on scrum that was the Democratic candidate lineup in 2020? The debate stage looked like a chorus line, until one by one, the hopefuls dropped out. Whether it was lack of funds or poor polling numbers, they just couldn’t go the distance, leaving supporters to switch lanes when their candidate left the field.We don’t need a repeat of that, yet it seem...

Stock market today: Asian stocks rise after Wall St retreats on concern economy weakening

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 20:58:48 GMT

By JOE McDONALD (AP Business Writer)BEIJING (AP) — Asian stock markets rose Tuesday after Wall Street fell on concern the U.S. economy may be weakening following a report that showed growth in service industries slowing. Shanghai, Tokyo and Hong Kong rose. Sydney retreated. Oil prices declined.Wall Street’s benchmark S&P 500 index lost 0.2% on Monday after an industry group’s index of activity in construction, hospitality and other services fell to a three-year low in May. That conflicted with hopes raised by data last week that showed unexpectedly strong hiring in May, suggesting a potential U.S. recession brought on by interest rate hikes might be farther away.“Weakness is emerging and that should be more noticeable in the coming months,” said Edward Moya of Oanda in a report.The Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.2% to 3,237.89 and the Hang Seng in Hong Kong advanced 1.1% to 19,310.53.The Nikkei 225 in Tokyo gained 0.4% to 32,350.58 after governmen...

Cowen: Would you let Elon Musk implant a device in your brain?

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 20:58:48 GMT

Elon Musk’s Neuralink received approval last month from the Food and Drug Administration to conduct human clinical trials, which one former FDA official called “really a big deal.” I do not disagree, but I am skeptical that this technology will “change everything.” Not every profound technological advance has broad social and economic implications.With Neuralink’s device, a robot surgically inserts a device into the brain that can then decode some brain activity and connect the brain signals to computers and other machines. A person paralyzed from the neck down, for example, could use the interface to manipulate her physical environment, as well as to write and communicate.This would indeed be a breakthrough — for people with paralysis or traumatic brain injuries. For others, I am not so sure.There are other ways of augmenting my intelligence with computers, most notably the recent AI innovations. It is true that I can think faster than I can speak or type, but — I’m just not in tha...

Solomon: Refusal to recall airbags puts consumers at risk

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 20:58:48 GMT

ARC Automotive, a Tennessee-based company, is refusing to recall 67 million air bag inflators, despite a request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to do so.After an eight-year investigation, the NHTSA concluded that ARC inflators have a safety defect that creates an unreasonable risk of death and injury.The agency demands that ARC recall the inflators because they could explode and hurl shrapnel. The company has argued that the recall demand exceeds the agency’s legal authority and that auto manufacturers, not equipment manufacturers like ARC, must do recalls.The company could be heading for a legal battle with auto safety regulators.If ARC rejects the recall, the NHTSA might arrange a public hearing and file a lawsuit to compel the company to issue a recall. Consequently, the company may face legal penalties and be obligated to provide compensation or pay fines to individuals affected by faulty airbag inflators.The penalties for violating federal safety regula...

Dear Abby: Parents not on agenda when daughter visits ‘home’

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 20:58:48 GMT

Dear Abby: My adult daughter is single and lives alone. She lives five hours away but manages to visit every two months or so. The problem is, when she comes home, we hardly ever see her. She’s mostly at her cousin’s house. During her most recent visit, we saw her a total of one hour a day the five days she was here — just enough time for her to come over, change clothes and leave again. She even sleeps there most nights.I have asked her to spend more time with us, but we just end up arguing. She goes on vacation with them every year, but when I suggest we go on a family vacation, she always says, “I don’t have money for that.” I love her, but I’m beginning to feel used. Whenever she needs something, I’m the one she calls.We have always butted heads, but my husband and I are getting older, and he has some health issues. I wish she would spend more time with him. I realize she wants to be with her friends when she’s here, but no o...
