The film chronicles a high-school production of Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town.” What makes this production special is that it’s the first play in 20 years put on by the students of Dominguez High School in infamous Compton, Calif. It’s a school where nothing matters but basketball, where all the students are African-American or Hispanic, where there is no money for the show, no stage in sight, and rehearsals have to be conducted in the cafeteria....

The Dodgers first baseman/outfielder finished the series 5 for 25 with a home run, one double, four RBIs and three runs scored. MORE: The Dodgers are National League champs — Get your gear here Looking beyond the numbers, Bellinger came up with two massive hits in the series: the Game 4 walkoff single that scored Manny Machado and knotted the series at two games apiece; and a two-run home run in Game 7 that put the Dodgers ahead in the second inning after they had fallen behind in the first....
The Los Angeles Dodgers didn’t do much in the offseason. They didn’t need to. In the first two seasons of ownership by the Guggenheim Baseball Management Group, the Dodgers shook up the National League West with a free-spending approach that not only saw them address short-term issues with free-agent signings and trades, but also look at the future with major investments into scouting and player development. So the past offseason was a good time to step back and let the parts settle into place....

According to the Los Angeles Times, Kershaw (11-2, 1.79 ERA) threw 60 pitches in a bullpen session Wednesday. He is expected to face hitters in a simulated game Saturday at Dodger Stadium....
Because, by looking solely at the bottom line, it was easy to say the Cardinals dominated the Dodgers. They left the Gateway to the West with a commanding 2-0 series lead, and they knocked off LA’s two best starters in moving two wins away from their fourth trip to the World Series in the past 10 years. Maybe we missed the truth of what really happened in St. Louis. Yes, the Cardinals’ pitching and defense were exceptional and yes, the Dodgers squandered opportunities with Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke starting and yes, the St....
Many of the former president’s most fervent admirers believe that it does. In the throes of a second impeachment crisis, Trumpian true believers remain painfully sensitive to disparagement from media, academia, Hollywood, Democratic power brokers and other left-leaning elements of the American establishment. They still recall when Hillary Clinton, at a decisive moment of the 2016 campaign, dismissed the core of Trump’s base as a “basket of deplorables.” By deriding Trump as a grifter and a demagogue, these sneering elites also seem to disrespect the hardworking, patriotic MAGA multitudes who gave him their votes, sent him their small-dollar contributions and even, on January 6th, trekked to Washington to overturn an election their leader falsely insisted he had won....
Doubling up on the flu shot and COVID-19 vaccine can protect against both viruses. But is it still safe to get them on the same day? Anne Hause, PhD, MSPH, a CDC researcher who led the study, wrote in an email to Verywell that getting two vaccines at once introduces a higher amount of antigens than a single shot, likely causing the immune system to be more reactive. However, the side effects from flu shots and COVID-19 vaccines tend to be mild and resolve quickly, Hause said, and the CDC continues to recommend getting the shots together if eligible....

It’s cats, not dogs, that are said to possess nine lives, but Peter, a rescue pup from Utah, might be the exception to that rule. Not that anyone would begrudge this particular canine’s seemingly supernatural ability to evade serious injury, given the heartbreak he’s been through. An estimated 30 percent of animals entering shelters have been surrendered by their owners, according to the Stray Animal Foundation Platform. Peter’s owners didn’t even do that, though....

Jasper, a Chihuahua mix, lives at the Front Street Animal Shelter in Sacramento, California.

The reality television personality—whose given name is Duane Chapman—was a major figure in the search for the 23-year-old who had been missing for a number of weeks while wanted by the FBI in connection with the murder of his fiancée, Gabby Petito. “The positive ID of Brian Laundrie’s remains gives some measure of closure to this case, if not to Gabby’s family who will likely now never know what truly happened,” Chapman said in a statement to Newsweek....
