Patients are still in the hospital, some in critical condition and unable to move,” the humanitarian organization said. The BBC quoted a surgeon at the hospital who said that the main intensive care unit had been hit and that there was no water, food or electricity.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:10:01 GMT

Major League Baseball has 29 managerial jobs — then there’s the Chicago Cubs.Managers are hired to be fired, as the saying goes, and we’ve seen them come and go on the North Side.Joe Maddon, who was the franchise’s winningest manager in more than a century and the only one with a World Series championship since Frank Chance in 1908, didn’t get a pass. He ended the curse on Nov. 2, 2016, when the Cubs beat the Cleveland Indians in Game 7 of the World Series. But he was out a few years later.Now, after abruptly firing David Ross to bring in Craig Counsell, the Cubs are looking to get back into the playoffs for the first time since 2020, Ross’ debut season as manager.Here’s what happened with the managers who preceded Counsell in the Wrigley Field dugout.Leo Durocher: 1966-72“I just gave myself a title — manager — not head coach. I don’t mean I’m going to be a dictator. I never was. One man can’t do the entir...

Trump joins media outlets in pushing for his federal election interference case to be televised

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:10:01 GMT

Donald Trump is pushing for his federal election interference trial in Washington to be televised, joining media outlets that say the American public should be able to watch the historic case unfold. The Justice Department is opposing the effort to broadcast the trial, scheduled to begin in March, and notes that federal court rules prohibit televised proceedings. News organizations, including the Associated Press, have argued there has never been a federal case that warrants making an exception to that rule more than a former president standing trial on accusations that he tried to subvert the will of voters in an election.Lawyers for Trump, who has characterized the case against him as politically motivated, said in court papers late Friday that “every person in America, and beyond, should have the opportunity to study this case firsthand.” “President Trump absolutely agrees, and in fact demands, that these proceedings should be fully televised so that the American public can...

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A South Dakota law professor typically teaches about dense topics like torts and natural resources. But next semester, he and his fearless students are shaking things up by turning their attention to Taylor Swift. Sean Kammer wanted his legal writing course to draw on music and art to help his students reconsider legal language and craft persuasive arguments. The self-described “Swiftie” thought a focus on the cultural icon was also a way to connect with his students.Never in his wildest dreams did Kammer expect the attention that the announcement generated — the class filled up quickly and jealous alumni even reached out.“The reaction from students has been exciting,” he said. “If we can have fun while we’re exploring some of these complex theoretical problems or issues, I believe students will be inspired to think deeper and to push themselves further.”Swifties at the University of South Dakota Knudson School of Law aren’t the only ones having fun.
