Like many MMA fans, UFC president Dana White found himself screaming at a screen during the conclusion of the UFC 275 main event between Jiri Prochazka and Glover Teixeira.

White did not make the trip overseas as he stayed in the U.S. for his son’s 21st birthday celebration in Miami, but he still tuned in for what turned out to be a… Source link

The plan follows a similar strategy as those for adult and older kids’ vaccinations, including making doses available at pharmacies, hospitals, doctors offices and health clinics. “The Administration’s vaccination program for America’s youngest children will focus on addressing the specific needs of this age group and their… Source link

The Chicago White Sox are willing to pay pitcher Dallas Keuchel to sit at home and do nothing. The team designated Keuchel and his $18 million salary for assignment Saturday. Keuchel started eight games for the White Sox in 2022. He has a 7.88 ERA in those starts. Given Keuchel’s struggles, it’s unlikely he will get claimed, or that the White Sox will find a trade partner for the left hander. Once Keuchel clears waivers, the White Sox will likely release him. The White Sox are still on the hook… Source link

The Guardians first baseman had a massive night on Monday against the Chicago White Sox as Cleveland rallied from an 8-2 eighth-inning deficit for a 12-9 win in extra innings. Naylor finished the night 3 of 5 at the plate with eight RBI, including a grand slam in the ninth inning that tied the game at 8-8.

The Salton Sea, California’s largest lake, is best known for increasing salinity and receding shoreline over the course of multiple decades that led to the health crisis and a massive die-off of the area’s wildlife. That is changing as a White House push to rid cars of fossil fuels and a global hunt to source critical minerals for electric vehicle batteries is recasting the region 160 miles southeast of Los Angeles as an El Dorado for the country’s hopes to tackle climate change. “This is… Source link

After recently overhauling a “glitch” in the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the Biden administration is now addressing another issue plaguing the American health care system: medical debt. On Monday, Vice President Kamala Harris announced the administration’s four-step plan aimed at increasing consumer protections for Americans billed for health care costs. These measures include holding medical providers and debt collectors “accountable for harmful practices,” reducing the role medical debt… Source link

Now, he sits on the boards and invests in tech… Source link
