FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) — Fans who filled the massive grandstands in darkness Friday morning at the Ryder Cup nearly two hours early got what they came to see: Bryson DeChambeau cranked his driver 344 yards just short of the green and the Americans won the opening hole.And thus began perhaps the most anticipated Ryder Cup on U.S. soil, played at notoriously rowdy Bethpage Black on Long Island amid tighter security for the late morning arrival of President Donald Trump.U.S. captain Keegan Bradley showed up 90 minutes before the opening shot, grabbed a microphone to address the crowd and said, “Let’s…
The 60-homer mark remains a magical threshold in baseball.Babe Ruth was the first hitter to reach it in a season, and nobody else did until Roger Maris 34 years later. Then it was another 37 years until Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa surpassed 60 home runs in 1998, part of a power surge in which there were six 60-homer seasons between ’98 and 2001.After that, it took over two decades before New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge hit 62 in 2022. Now Seattle catcher Cal Raleigh has 60 this year, and fittingly the American League MVP race is coming down…
Dr. Mehmet Oz told CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett on “The Takeout” Thursday the Trump administration is not advising pregnant women to avoid taking Tylenol under any circumstances — as President Trump’s announcement this week about an alleged link between the painkiller and fever reducer and autism draws pushback from medical experts.Oz — a former surgeon and television personality who leads the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, an agency that is under the Department of Health and Human Services — said that if a pregnant woman develops a high fever, a doctor will likely encourage her to…
SUMENEP, Indonesia (AP) — Three health care workers rode motorbikes into the Indonesian city of Sumenep, carrying doses of measles vaccine and a list of children who needed them. With blue medical boxes in hand, they went from house to house administering the life-saving shots.The health workers on wheels are part of the regional government’s latest efforts to curb a deadly measles outbreak on Madura Island that has persisted for the past nine months. More than 2,600 children have already been infected this year and 20 have died.But efforts to stop the outbreak from spreading through the predominately Muslim population…
Two US senators have questions for Big Tech and other top companies over their use of H-1B visas amid the Trump administration’s push to slow down foreign worker hiring practices.In letters sent to 10 companies on Wednesday, including Amazon, Apple, Deloitte, and JPMorgan Chase, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and ranking member Sen. Dick Durbin said they were concerned about the use of H-1B visa workers while the tech sector experiences a “high unemployment rate.”The senators cited the layoffs the companies conducted in recent years and the number of H-1B visas they applied for in 2025.In the letter addressed…
Charlie Javice, the fintech entrepreneur convicted of defrauding JPMorgan Chase, got bad news from her New York judge — she must show up for a sentencing scheduled for Monday despite her request for more time.Defense lawyers had told the judge and prosecutors that Javice could not safely fly to New York due to health concerns that remain redacted from the public record. She had asked for what prosecutors opposed as an unspecified, “lengthy” delay.”Application denied,” her judge wrote in Thursday night’s tersely worded final denial.The judge cited “reasons given in my prior order” from Monday, when he initially denied a…

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Marvin Harrison Jr. soared above a defensive back, snagged the ball at the high point and pulled it down for a key touchdown in Arizona’s comeback attempt.The Cardinals’ second-year receiver didn’t celebrate, opting instead to kneel with an arm over the front of his helmet before jogging off the field.After the first half he had, Harrison seemed more relieved than excited about pulling down a highlight-reel touchdown.Harrison caught a touchdown pass and had a pair of key catches on Arizona’s final drive, but also bobbled a pass that led to a first-half interception in the Cardinals’…
Claims from the Trump White House about links between use of the painkiller acetaminophen – often sold under the brand name Tylenol in the U.S. – during pregnancy and development of autism have set off a deluge of responses across the medical, scientific and public health communities.As a father of a child with level 2 autism – meaning autism that requires substantial support – and a statistician who works with such tools as those used in the association studies cited by the White House, I find it useful to think about the nuances of association versus causation in observational studies.…
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks could have been shell-shocked, giving up a 14-point lead during the latter half of the fourth quarter and turning their comfortable advantage into a tie game with 33 seconds left.It looked like they might need overtime to make amends.Sam Darnold, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Jason Myers had other ideas.Darnold hit Smith-Njigba for a 22-yard gain in a last-minute response, Myers made a 52-yard field goal as time expired, and the Seahawks withstood a late rally by Kyler Murray and the Cardinals to beat Arizona 23-20 on Thursday night.“I had no doubt we were going…
