Fans, many wearing Clark shirts and jerseys, lined up nearly two hours before tip waiting to get in.They weren’t disappointed. “The crowd was incredible,” Clark said. “There were a lot of little girls, most I’ve seen in a long time. We don’t get to come out to the east coast much. It’s really special the cheer I got when I ran on the court. Some moments you’re never going to forget.”From deep 3-pointers to 30-foot bounce passes that led to layups, the reigning AP Player of the Year made her presence felt on the court and drew loud cheers nearly every time she touched the ball.She had nine points,...

Miembros de grupos de extrema derecha. Expolicías. Un nadador olímpico ganador de la medalla de oro. E infantes de Marina en servicio activo.Ellos están entre los cientos de personas que han sido declaradas culpables en el enjuiciamiento masivo por el motín del 6 de enero de 2021, en los tres años transcurridos desde que la atónita nación presenció en vivo por televisión el ataque al Capitolio de Estados Unidos.El tribunal federal de Washington sigue inundado de juicios, audiencias de declaración de culpabilidad y sentencias derivadas de lo que se ha convertido en la investigación penal más grande en la historia del país. Y la búsqueda de sospechosos está lejos de haber terminado.“No podemos reemplazar los votos y la deliberación con violencia e intimidación”, dijo el jueves a los periodistas Matthew Graves, fiscal federal para el Distrito de Columbia. “Puso en peligro a mi familia”: Mike Pence lanza fuertes críticas contra Donald Trump por el asalto al Capitolio ...

¿Argentina en venta? La polémica tras el decreto de Milei que elimina el límite para que los extranjeros compren tierras

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:15:26 GMT

(CNN Español) —  El decreto de necesidad y urgencia (DNU) que emitió el presidente de Argentina, Javier Milei, el 21 de diciembre, incluyó la derogación de la llamada Ley de Tierras, que bajo el argumento de la soberanía nacional establecía un límite a la compra y posesión de tierra por extranjeros. Esto ocurre mientras continúan las presentaciones judiciales contra ese megadecreto, una de las cuales logró frenar con un amparo el capítulo referido a las reformas laborales.La Ley 26.737 de Protección al Dominio Nacional sobre la Propiedad, Posesión o Tenencia de las Tierras Rurales fue promulgada en diciembre de 2011 a instancias de la entonces presidenta Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. Establecía que los extranjeros no podían tener más del 15% de las tierras del país, de una provincia o de un municipio. Pero, además, como Argentina es un país agroexportador, con la soja como principal cultivo y exportación de las últimas décadas, les prohibía poseer más de mil hectáreas de las...

Health officials call for community help amid blood supply shortage

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:15:26 GMT

A blood shortage has health officials asking donors in the D.C. area to step up.“Not only are we challenged from a collection and donor perspective, but we do see increases in blood use this time of year as well,” said Sean McCleary, vice president of professional services with Inova Health System.McCleary says the not-for-profit health organization has less than a day’s worth of O-negative supply, the universal donor type, which is used in a lot of trauma incidents, like gunshot wounds and injuries from car crashes.“We really are in a critical status when it comes to blood supply for our patients,” McCleary told WTOP. “We use it in a lot of our trauma care here in the Inova Health System.”He said traumatic occurrences are actually up so far in the month of January, right as donations are dwindling. He also adds January is already a tough month for collections to begin with.“Sixty-five percent of the population is eligible to donate bl...

Rishi Sunak previously questioned controversial Rwanda asylum plan: BBC

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:15:26 GMT

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak previously expressed doubts on a controversial program to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda, the BBC reported on Saturday.Sunak when he was Chancellor of the Exchequer attempted to convince then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson to scale back a migration scheme before a deal was signed with Rwanda in April 2022, the BBC said, citing documents seen by the media outlet. The Conservative government led by Johnson in 2022 proposed a hardline plan to deport undocumented migrants to Rwanda in a bid to dissuade people from crossing the English Channel. Sunak — who became prime minister in October 2022 — has made the immigration program a top priority, despite it being knocked down in the U.K. Supreme Court on human rights grounds. But the BBC reported it has seen “No. 10 documents” dated March 2022 indicating that Sunak had been uncertain about the plan. Sunak “is refusing to fund any non-detained accommodation, eg Greek-style receptio...

A starring role for NASA in Biden’s push to end cancer

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:15:26 GMT

Two hundred and fifty miles above Earth, astronauts on the International Space Station have embarked on an audacious mission: curing cancer.Because cells age faster in the absence of gravity, they’re using the atmosphere on board to conduct experiments that could speed development of treatments.The efforts could aid President Joe Biden’s so-called cancer moonshot — a plan to cut the cancer death rate in half over 25 years, a goal that would be easier to hit with rapid development of new drugs. But supporters, including NASA, will need to persuade a cost-conscious Congress to back research by funding public-private partnerships and to help a transition to commercial space stations.Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly interested in space to develop and improve drugs, and to extend their patents.“We’re right on the cusp of some major new developments,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson told POLITICO. “They’ve got a full-time laboratory with all of the instruments and dedicated crew t...

Column: Before we turn attention to a pivotal Chicago Bears offseason, a look at 10 developments from the 2023 season

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:15:26 GMT

A news-filled Chicago Bears season ends Sunday with a trip to Lambeau Field, where the Green Bay Packers have a playoff bid on the line.After that the Bears will quickly turn the page to what could be a seismic offseason at Halas Hall.General manager Ryan Poles already knows he owns the No. 1 pick in 2024, and the first order of business will be announcing the future of coach Matt Eberflus and his staff. The team’s improvements since November surely help Eberflus, but there is one final piece to the evaluation puzzle before attention turn to free agency and the draft.What does Poles plan to do with his picks? Will he choose to build around quarterback Justin Fields or chart a path with a rookie and a roster that’s far better than most teams have when choosing a passer at No. 1? The clearest options are to keep Fields and trade down for even more picks or to choose a quarterback with the top pick.Before we go headlong into the biggest Bears offseason since … the pre...
