YELLOWKNIFE, Northwest Territories (AP) — Air evacuations were to begin Thursday to move residents in the capital of Canada’s Northwest Territories out of the path of wildfires that neared the city of 20,000 people.People in the four areas of Yellowknife at highest risk should leave as soon as possible and residents in other areas have until noon Friday to leave, the Northwest Territories government said. Only those who don’t have the option of leaving by road should register for the flights out, officials added. People who are immunocompromised or have a condition that puts them at higher risk were encouraged to sign up.“I want to be clear that the city is not in immediate danger and there’s a safe window for residents to leave the city by road and by air,” Shane Thompson, a government minister for the Territories, told a news conference.The fire was burning about 17 kilometers (10 miles) outside the city.

(CNN) — Alrededor del 80% de las controvertidas boyas fronterizas instaladas en el río Grande por la iniciativa fronteriza del gobernador de Texas, Greg Abbott, conocida como Operación Lone Star, se desplegaron en territorio mexicano, según un expediente judicial federal.La Comisión Internacional de Límites y Aguas (IBWC, por sus siglas en inglés), una entidad que administra los tratados de límites y aguas entre EE.UU. y México, realizó un estudio de las boyas flotantes y el Departamento de Justicia de EE.UU. presentó los hallazgos al tribunal como parte de su demanda en curso contra el estado de Texas.El Departamento de Justicia presentó la demanda el mes pasado exigiendo la eliminación de las barreras fronterizas y pidió a la corte que bloqueara cualquier futura construcción de barreras flotantes.López Obrador critica las “inhumanas” boyas antimigrantes que Texas desplegó en la frontera con MéxicoDe acuerdo con los hallazgos de la encuesta, Texas desplegó una cad...Column: Chicago Cubs can survive even if Marcus Stroman doesn’t return from his mysterious rib injury
Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 04:36:36 GMT
In any other year, Marcus Stroman’s potential season-ending rib cartilage fracture would’ve had Chicago Cubs fans crying, “Why us?”But this has been a season unlike any other in recent Cubs history, a roller-coaster ride that no one could’ve seen coming back in spring training. They buried themselves on June 8 in Anaheim, Calif., falling 10 games under .500, only to bounce back into contention in the National League Central and wild-card race.Though the Cubs were only three games over .500 entering Wednesday’s City Series finale against the White Sox, which the Cubs won 4-3 on a three-run, walk-off home run by Christopher Morel, the atmosphere in Wrigleyville matched the giddiness of the summer of 2015, the turning point of Theo Epstein’s vaunted rebuild.So if anyone is worried the possible absence of Stroman for the final seven weeks of the season has spoiled the Cubs’ chances of making a postseason run, they mostly have kept their th...Dean Kremer bests Manny Machado, but Padres top Orioles, 5-2, in rubber match: ‘Just had that one bad inning’

Five years later, determining the winner of the Manny Machado trade is a matter of nuance. The Los Angeles Dodgers reached but lost the World Series after the Orioles parted with the star infielder amid his final season before free agency. The Orioles certainly would have liked to have done better in the deal, but even though only one member of Baltimore’s five-player return is still with the organization, he’s provided more value by himself than Machado did for the Dodgers.Right-hander Dean Kremer was not the centerpiece of that July 2018 trade, but he’s grown into that role for Baltimore, partly by default. The other four prospects the Orioles received in that trade never amounted to much for them, but with four more years of team control beyond this season, Kremer has posted 3.4 wins above replacement for Baltimore, according to Baseball-Reference — topping Machado’s 2.5 with Los Angeles — and developed into a reliable starter.He showed as much...Heavy rain in Germany causes flooding and leads to flight cancelations in Frankfurt
