According to The Associated Press, public health departments have begun community outreach programs like holding events in schools and sending messages in different languages to provide education and reassurance about the safety and effectiveness of the COVID vaccine. In addition to limited information from states, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not compile racial breakdowns. In places where age and race vaccination data is available like, Michigan, Connecticut and Washington, D....

The annual military parade marks the country’s defeat of Nazi Germany, and during a recent press conference, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko stated that they couldn’t cancel the parade because doing so would create fear of the virus among the country’s population. “I must say that we cannot cancel the parade. We simply cannot. I thought about it for a long time. Of course, this is an emotional, profoundly ideological thing,” Lukashenko said, according to The Guardian....

In 2019, the Gun Violence Archive (GVA) found that there were 417 mass shootings over the course of the whole year in the U.S. But in 2020, there has already been 562 mass shootings with six weeks left until the end of the year. The number also comes as a huge rise compared to mass shooting numbers from the last five years. The GVA recorded 269 in 2014, 335 in 2015, 382 in 2016, 346 in 2017 and 337 in 2018....

LAS VEGAS– Tiger Woods hasn’t won a major since 2008, but that reality means nothing to bettors. They’ve made Woods the biggest risk for the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook in Masters futures. Woods is listed at 40-to-1 odds, his highest odds ever for a major, and despite the liability oddsmaker Jeff Sherman is staring at, he doesn’t seem inclined to move Woods down anytime soon just because of his poor form....

Both are former players turned beginner managers, both are trying to make it in New York. In April, their jobs were more or less the same: connect and contend. The Yankees brought Boone in to replace a grizzled Joe Girardi despite falling one game shy of the World Series; Callaway took the reigns from Terry Collins with the Mets still hopeful that their window had not yet closed. The Yankees, presumed juggernauts entering the season, began the Boone era on a pedestrian 9-9 note....

However, it’s not always completely clear where the next daily Lost Sector will be located. It’s an issue that’s plagued fans for some time. Bungie has opted to keep the location of each Lost Sector off of the Director map interface. So, much like Xur, you’ll have to set out in search of the Lost Sector if you want to take part in it. Further, to jump into any Legendary Lost Sector or Master Lost Sector challenges, you must be at power level 1,500....

Defendant Eric Rivera Jr. wasn't handcuffed but came willingly to talk to authorities in Fort Myers in November 2007, a Miami-Dade police detective testified. At first, the now 23-year-old told investigators he stayed home all weekend and maybe caught a movie with his girlfriend. As authorities pressed, he said he had a bad memory and that everything was foggy, said lead investigator Juan Segovia. When authorities walked another defendant by the room where Rivera was being questioned, Rivera grew noticeably anxious, Segovia said....

The chair had been reserved for Appaloosa Management, an A-list private-equity player that was leading a group of hedge funds providing $2.55 billion of the bailout money. But like a prospective homeowner getting cold feet, Appaloosa’s absence signaled it was backing out of the deal. In a letter sent just hours earlier, Appaloosa accused Delphi of scuttling the deal by, among other things, giving former parent General Motors too much influence....

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer said they will implement a “water restart plan” from Wednesday so people can wash their hands during the COVID-19 outbreak. The outbreak has so far seen more than 116,000 cases across the world. The plan will see the state of Michigan pay the $25 reconnection fee for those who either are at risk or already had their water cut off due to non-payment....

The latest entrant into the primary field told Chuck Todd on NBC’s Meet the Pressyesterday that he was “not crazy” about support from super PACs but said he would not ask one to stop supporting his candidacy. He also said he would like the sources of money funneled into any super PAC independently campaigning for his candidacy to be “fully disclosed.” A super PAC can spend limitless sums on promoting a candidate but must do so independently, meaning they cannot directly donate to, or coordinate with, a campaign without breaking the law....

Yep, you heard that right. Then-Devils general manager Ray Shero fired John Hynes on Dec. 3 and tapped assistant Alain Nasreddine to take over as interim head coach. Nasreddine has led the team to a 19-16-8 record and according to LeBrun has a real shot at keeping the job. MORE: Who is Alain Nasreddine? A little over a month after Hynes was let go, Gallant was fired by Vegas on Jan....

The parody Twitter account, which has more than 771,000 followers, posted “Anybody up for an epic party?” and the hashtag “#DevinNunesIsAnIdiot” shortly after the announcement broke on Monday. The Republican congressman announced that he will be retiring from the House of Representatives to begin his new role as Chief Executive Officer of Trump Media & Technology Group [TMTG] in January 2022. The Devin Nunes’ Cow also posted a picture of the 48-year-old along with the caption: “Awarded for bravery in the face of hostile internet cows,” as well as retweeting a number of other messages gleefully celebrating Nunes’ departure from the House....

Smith dominated the competition in 2020, with 117 receptions for 1,856 yards and 23 TDs in 13 games. The one concern about how high he should go in the first round on April 29 is the fact he weighs 170 pounds at 6-1, or what’s considered to be around 20 pounds short of the NFL ideal. But that seems to be an unfair criticism for an otherwise complete wideout with no holes in his game....

Such was the case Sunday when Cowboys Pro Bowl receiver Dez Bryant took a swing at teammate Tyler Patmon. MORE: Best and worst of Jerry Jones | Hockey fights make Cowboy kerfuffle look like horse play The altercation took place on the sideline after a completion to tight end Jason Witten.

Initially setting up as 7,340-yard course, with tree-lined fairways and water coming into play on five of the holes, you’ll hear a lot about precision off the tee and with the irons this week. Ten players in this week’s field have won here over the past 12 years, including Retief Goosen, who has won it twice (2003, 2009). Players who finished in the top 10 last year weren’t the top drivers, with only one ranking in the top 100 in total driving....

Smith was tossed for having two dark, sticky spots on the inside of his mitt that were detected after he completed the eighth inning against the Phillies. Smith told reporters those spots were caused by dirt. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo told reporters that Smith told him the spots “were a result of the rosin bag.” “If I cheated, I would own up to it. But they’re, I guess, saying I cheated, and just by doing that it drags my name through the mud,” Smith said in a postgame Zoom call with reporters....

As a result, they were able to replenish their farm at a time when the big league roster is performing above expectations — currently around .500 and still in the NL postseason race. With the help of so many young additions, they could theoretically open a new contention window soon after this one closes or simply extend their run of success, avoiding a harsh rebuild in the process. “The impact that this many quality picks can have on a system is exciting,” team president Derrick Hall told USA Today....

David Dimbleby, who presented Panorama in the 1970s, has spoken of his belief that although he understands concerns raised by Prince William over the interview after details emerged that Diana may have been deceived during attempts to secure access to her, this does not negate the entire undertaking. “I understand Prince William’s objections and the problem with how the interview was achieved,” the broadcast veteran told Britain’s Radio Times, “but I don’t believe Diana was coerced into giving it....

Vice President ‘Confidence in His Bearing’ He was an unassuming man, our 38th president, and few have ever risen so high with so little guile or calculation. Even in the three decades since he left office, he was not the sort to ponder his legacy, to brood over his place in history. Jerry Ford was always a striver–never working an angle, just working. He was a believer in the saying that in life you make your own...
