Saints’ Alvin Kamara, Jets’ Garrett Wilson among best bets to score in Week 9 of NFL season

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:08:54 GMT

It’s a tough bye week for some, but we still have some stellar options when it comes to scoring TDs. These are my best bets to find the end zone in Week 9.___Running BackZACK MOSS, COLTSI was tempted to put Jonathan Taylor here instead of Moss, but there are some distinctions between the two backs that have Moss here over Taylor, the main being that Moss is the preferred short-yardage back. It was Moss who punched in the score in Week 8, and it was Moss who has outscored Taylor four to one over the past four games. Taylor only logged one more carry (13) than Moss (12) in Week 8 too, so it’s not as if he’s running away with the carries. This week, they’ll face Carolina, a team that is our fifth-best matchup for opposing running backs. They’re both solid plays, but Moss has established himself as the TD go-to player in Indy with a 32.97% TD dependency.ALVIN KAMARA, SAINTSTouchdowns had been fairly hard to come by for Kamara since he returned in Week 4 until just last week, when he sco...

Stock market today: Wall Street rises after Federal Reserve holds steady on interest rates

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:08:54 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are rising Wednesday after the Federal Reserve opted against pressing the brakes even harder on Wall Streeet and the economy, at least for now. The S&P 500 was up 0.8% in afternoon trading, coming off its third straight losing month largely because of higher yields in the bond market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 156 points, or 0.5%, as of 2:15 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 1.1% higher.Indexes added to their gains after the Fed announced its decision to hold interest rates steady, which was what investors expected. It’s already yanked the overnight rate from nearly zero early last year to its highest level since 2001, above 5.25%. The big question is how long the Fed will keep the rate high before cutting it to provide financial markets more oxygen.Longer-term Treasury yields have been rising rapidly since the spring and catching up with the Fed’s overnight rate. They’ve rallied as the U.S. economy has remained remarkably ...

Live updates | Dozens of foreign passport holders and injured allowed to flee Gaza

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:08:54 GMT

Israeli airstrikes hit apartment buildings in a refugee camp near Gaza City for a second day in a row, causing many deaths and injuries, the Hamas-run government said. The toll from Wednesday’s strikes was not immediately known. Meanwhile, dozens of people with foreign passports entered the Rafah crossing from Gaza to Egypt. It appeared to be the first time that foreign passport holders have been allowed to leave the besieged territory since the start of the Israel-Hamas war more than three weeks ago. Communications and internet services were gradually being restored after the second major cut in five days, according to Paltel, the main telecommunications provider. Humanitarian aid agencies have warned that such blackouts severely disrupt their work in an already dire situation in Gaza.The Palestinian death toll in the Israel-Hamas war has reached 8,805, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza. In the occupied West Bank, 130 Palestinians have been killed in violence and I...

Don’t let the cold temps lead to a soggy mess in your home

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:08:54 GMT

Below freezing temperatures are set to return to the D.C. region on Wednesday night and with that comes an increased risk of flooding from frozen pipes.Many of the pipe bursts involve pipes that lead to the spigot outside, according to Wesley Bush, owner of Alliance Water Restoration in Chantilly, Virginia.“Hose bibs become the greatest issue as far as causing water leaks that people aren’t prepared for,” Bush said.When the pipes that supply the outdoor faucet with water freeze and expand, he said that at times leads to the pipe splitting.“As soon as it thaws out, you have full pressure that’s blowing water into your basement,” he said.To prevent this, you should winterize your home by locating the indoor shutoff valves for the water lines that lead to the outdoor faucet. Once you shut off the water using those valves, turn on the spigot outside so the water inside the pipe drains out, Bush said.Not taking this simple step can lead to thousands of dollars’ worth of...

Movie Review: A serene debut from Raven Jackson in ‘All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:08:54 GMT

Nature provides much of the soundtrack to “ All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt,” a poised and occasionally transcendent debut from writer-director Raven Jackson.The sounds of crickets and birds, flowing water and the wind in the long summer grass are only sporadically punctured by a song at a party, or a brief moment of a swelling score. These are the kind of details that make you feel immediately rooted in a place. It’s not just the nature setting on a sleep app either, or, if it is, sound supervisor Miguel Calvo ensure that it doesn’t feel like that. It’s thoughtful and precise and also lets you more fully enjoy the moments where those human-made sounds take over.This might be a lot of talk about sound design to start, but it’s also a bit of a primer on what to expect from “All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt,” which counts “Moonlight” filmmaker Barry Jenkins among its producers. Like sitting in a field for hours without a phone or a book or a companion to chat with, just the world around you,...

¿Qué es una amnistía y en qué consistiría la que aplicaría Pedro Sánchez en Cataluña?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:08:54 GMT

(CNN Español) — Que en España se forme un nuevo Ejecutivo tras las elecciones generales del 23 de julio depende, actualmente, de que Pedro Sánchez reúna los apoyos necesarios para apuntalar su investidura como presidente del Gobierno.Todavía no hay una fecha definida para que el parlamento acoja el debate donde el secretario general del Partido Socialista Obrero Español (PSOE) buscaría reunir la confianza de los miembros de la cámara, y eso se debe a que el líder socialista aún no ha culminado las negociaciones con los partidos que pueden brindar ese apoyo.Pedro Sánchez acepta la petición del rey de España para intentar formar Gobierno: ¿cuándo sería la investidura y qué necesita para lograrlo?El principal reto de Sánchez es cerrar un acuerdo con las formaciones independentistas catalanas, Junts per Catalunya y Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya, para lograr el voto a favor de sus 14 diputados en el Congreso.Sin embargo, ese apoyo sólo lo ofrecen a cambio de una ley de amnistía...

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — King Charles III on Wednesday held a private meeting with the family of the executed leader of the Kenyan rebellion against British colonial rule, a day after the monarch expressed “greatest sorrow and the deepest regret” for the violence of the colonial era.The family of Dedan Kimathi, who was hanged by the British administration, and relatives of other well-known Kenyan freedom fighters didn’t immediately comment — a change from their past outspoken calls for an apology and compensation from Britain, along with any information on the whereabouts of Kimathi’s body.The British High Commission said only that the meeting was an “opportunity for the king to hear firsthand about the violence committed against Kenyans during their struggle for independence.” Attendees included the chair of the Mau Mau War Veterans Association.Charles also visited a war cemetery in Kenya on Wednesday, laying a wreath in honor of those who fought alongside the British in t...

Turning last night’s jack-o’-lantern into compost, and other morning-after pumpkin options

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:08:54 GMT

Instead of throwing last night’s Halloween jack-o’-lantern into the trash, some industrious people are turning old, burned-out carved pumpkins into compost.Composting not only helps your garden, it also reduces food waste — including rotting pumpkins — in landfills. The U.S. Green Chamber of Commerce estimates 1.3 billion pounds of pumpkins end up in landfills each year.Here’s how to get a pumpkin ready for composting, according to the U.S. Department of Energy:Remove the candle wax, paint, glitter, ribbons and other nonorganic decorations from the pumpkin.Clean out all the pulp and seeds, because if you include them in a compost pile, new pumpkin plants will likely sprout. (If you want to plant some seeds next year, wash off the pulp, dry them on paper towels and store them in a paper bag until next planting season)Smash or cut up the pumpkin into small pieces, which speeds up decomposition.Mix the smaller pieces of pumpkin into your compost pile.
