Nationals Notebook: Fighting for fourth and foiled by Philly

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:41:00 GMT

For one brief shining moment, the Washington Nationals climbed out of fifth place thanks to their 8-7 win Friday night against Philadelphia, only to slide back into the cellar with losses in the next two games.Sunday’s 11-3 drubbing highlighted how far the Nats have to go before they leave the NL East basement behind for good.“You know, I think we have a very competitive team on this side,” Joey Meneses said through an interpreter after the series finale. “Unfortunately, there was one big inning for them that just kind of opened the game and the floodgates but I think that compared to them we’re a very good team as well.”The Phillies pounded five home runs, with their leadoff hitter Kyle Schwarber (remember him?) and their number nine batter Drew Ellis each blasting a pair.The Nats currently rank 29th in the majors with 46 homers, meaning they have to grind offensively, and scored 13 runs on 28 hits over the weekend.“It’s not very easy...

(CNN) — Nikki Haley, exgobernadora de Carolina del Sur y aspirante presidencial republicana de 2024, criticó duramente a los principales candidatos del partido en un foro en vivo de CNN en Iowa este domingo.El expresidente Donald Trump, exjefe de Haley cuando se desempeñó como embajadora ante las Naciones Unidas, se equivocó, dijo la aspirante presidencial, al defender las acciones de sus partidarios en el Capitolio de EE.UU. el 6 de enero de 2021, un hecho que calificó como un “día terrible”.El gobernador de Florida, Ron DeSantis, dijo Haley, es hipócrita al gastar el dinero de los contribuyentes en una batalla legal con Disney por lo que comenzó como un acuerdo de política.“¿Todas estas cosas de vendetta? Hemos recorrido ese camino”, dijo Haley, en un golpe de dos por uno a ambos rivales.La precandidata republicana defendió contundentemente la participación de Estados Unidos en la guerra de Ucrania con Rusia, una ruptura tanto con Trump como con DeSantis.Y se refirió con fre...

No longer in the days of ‘Baywatch:’ local aquatic centers struggle to staff new lifeguards

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:41:00 GMT

Staffing struggles have hit many industries across the U.S. — including community pools, which are scrambling to hire lifeguards for the summer season.The American Lifeguard Association, which is based in Vienna, Virginia, says about half of the nation’s 309,000 public pools will be forced to close their doors or reduce hours if more lifeguards aren’t hired and trained this summer. But the pool season has already begun.Cynthia Brown, the aquatic coordinator of the Greenbelt Aquatic Center, told WTOP that, in addition to young adults, she is also reaching out to people who used to be lifeguards and those that have applied in the past and may still be interested.“It’s been very tough. It’s just not a job that people are looking for anymore,” she said. “When we were younger, children looked up to being the lifeguard. We had TV shows; we had ‘Baywatch.’ We had all of these TV shows that made us look like the real hero. And it’s not l...

Estrogen-only pills used as HRT raised blood pressure in study. Experts weigh in

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:41:00 GMT

(CNN) — People who use estrogen-only pills during menopause were more likely to be diagnosed with high blood pressure than those using patches or creams, a new study found. However, doctors who treat menopause say estrogen-only pills are rarely prescribed for high-risk patients, and the overall benefits of hormone replacement therapy far outweigh the risks for many patients.Hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, can be given as estrogen only, progesterone only or estrogen plus progesterone, to combat symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, chills, night sweats, sleep problems, mood changes and vaginal dryness and pain during sex. Most of the time, the dual formation uses progestin, a synthetic version of progesterone.People taking estrogen-only pills during menopause were 14% more likely to be diagnosed with high blood pressure than those using estrogen-only patches, the study found. When compared to people using estrogen-only vaginal creams or suppositories, those taking the...

BRUSSELS — Belgium is opening an investigation into whether weapons it sent to Ukraine have been used by pro-Ukraine Russian paramilitaries to launch attacks in Russia’s Belgorod region, Prime Minister Alexander De Croo said Monday.“We have asked our intelligence and military services to analyze this,” De Croo told public broadcaster RTBF, after an investigation from the Washington Post released over the weekend showed that members of pro-Ukraine Russian volunteer groups carried Belgian-made SCAR assault rifles during an assault on Russian towns.“We are asking the Ukrainians to clarify the situation,” De Croo said, adding he was not able to confirm the information.“But the rule is clear: Our weapons that are provided to Ukraine are naturally [intended] for defensive purposes of the Ukrainian territory,” De Croo added.In January, Belgium approved its largest military aid package to Ukraine to date, worth €90 million.
