Rare white bison born in Wyoming

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:46:08 GMT

EVANSTON, Wyoming (KSTU) — A new white bison calf was born at Bear River State Park in Evanston earlier in May, attracting the attention of hundreds of visitors.Just an hour and a half away from Salt Lake City, this sighting has captured the attention of many Utahns — like the White family, who are no strangers to rare occurrences, including raising spontaneous triplets.The Whites, with their four kids, including the three triplets, embarked on a Memorial Day weekend trip to Bear River State Park upon hearing about the presence of two white bison and a newborn calf.“We packed some binoculars and thought we’d have to be looking for them in the hills, but it turns out they’re right across the fence and right off the freeway. We saw them driving in,” Michael White said. “Apparently, it’s not an albino buffalo; it’s actually genetically a white buffalo.”Bear River State Park is home to three white bison. The first two were acquired i...

How the Orioles brought Yennier Cano’s ‘beautiful’ breakout to Baltimore

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:46:08 GMT

Within the span of half an hour on Aug. 2, 2022, Yennier Cano’s life changed twice.First, his wife, Arianny, told him she was pregnant. Cano had longed to be a father, and to that point, the couple’s efforts to have a child had been fruitless. The joy of the news was jolted by a phone call, one to inform Cano that the Minnesota Twins had traded him to the Orioles.In summarizing his initial reaction to the trade, Cano offered an expletive, a word he felt captured both his bewilderment and disappointment at leaving behind the only major league organization he knew. Almost 10 months later, he views both events as blessings. Cano and Arianny’s son, Cristopher, was born in early March, and with Baltimore, Cano has broken out as perhaps baseball’s best reliever despite coming into this season an unknown 29-year-old with previously disastrous results in the major leagues.The gifts in his personal and professional lives follow an odyssey in which he nearly quit baseb...

Canadian researchers find brain inflammation in patients with long COVID

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:46:08 GMT

Leslie Ann Coles knew “almost immediately” something was wrong after her COVID-19 infection in January 2021. The filmmaker from Woodbridge, Ont., had never had writer’s block in her life — but she couldn’t find the words to make revisions to a screenplay she’d been working on. “It was really, really frightening,” Coles said.Her emotional state changed too. “I’ve never in my life suffered from depression,” Coles said. “My friends refer to me as the eternal optimist.”But her usual passion for life and work had waned, leaving her feeling “apathetic, for lack of a better word,” she said. Researchers have been trying to understand what causes the many symptoms of long COVID, including neurological issues suffered by an estimated hundreds of thousands of Canadians like Coles. Now, a team led by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) has found physiological evidence of brain inflammation in peop...

Republicans get their IRS cuts, but Democrats say they expect little near-term impact

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:46:08 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans are seeking to make good on their campaign promise to rein in the IRS with cutbacks built into the debt ceiling and budget cuts package moving through Congress.The bill rescinds $1.4 billion given to the federal tax collector in the Democrats’ health and energy package that was approved last year on party line votes. The White House says the debt deal also includes a separate agreement to take $20 billion from the IRS over the next two years and divert those funds to other nondefense programs.Democrats expended a lot of political capital to get the IRS more money last year. They faced an onslaught of campaign ads, many of them misleading, about the expected hiring of 87,000 “new agents” to target low- and middle-class Americans. Now, Biden administration officials are offering assurances that the spending cuts secured by Republican negotiators will have minimal impact on the agency’s operations over the next few years. The agency is on cours...

The United States has no official relations with Taiwan but has extensive informal ties and multibillion-dollar annual trade.“The United States should stop any form of official exchanges with Taiwan, refrain from negotiating agreements with Taiwan that have sovereign connotations or official natu...
