At one time in her career, that thought would have frightened the former Stanford and current Chicago Stars star. But now, Press feels comfortable with herself and her game, and is ready to play.

While picking a running back early is commonplace (unless you’re a fan of the Zero-RB strategy), picking the right one can sometimes be tricky. In recent seasons, we’ve seen the likes of David Johnson and Todd Gurley go early, only to disappoint their owners. Last year, injuries left some disappointed by the performance of Saquon Barkley, the No. 1 overall pick in most leagues. That’s what makes this year’s choice between Barkley and Christian McCaffrey for the No....

A few hours after trading for a power bat in Trey Mancini, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported Houston has acquired veteran catcher Christian Vazquez from the Red Sox. The Astros made it official moments later. After the trade was reported, Vázquez seemed shell shocked when speaking with the media. A Red Sox spokesman eventually stepped in to relieve the catcher from sorting through his feelings in real-time. The Astros have now added two strong contributors to their lineup at the deadline as they look to make a push for their fourth World Series appearance in the last six seasons....

United, the third-largest airline in the world, announced Thursday that it had grounded 112 Christmas Eve flights out of an abundance of caution, as cases of Omicron continue to skyrocket across the country. “The nationwide spike in Omicron cases this week has had a direct impact on our flight crews and the people who run our operation,” the airline said in a statement. “As a result, we’ve unfortunately had to cancel some flights and are notifying impacted customers in advance of them coming to the airport....

Yet as other parts of the world continue to be hammered by COVID chaos, I have been astonished at how little criticism of China there has been. After all, not only can we be pretty sure that this virus came from a laboratory in Wuhan; we can be certain that the Chinese authorities covered it up while their people continued to fly all over the world. As the saying goes, “China lied, people died....

The heatwave that parched the U.S. last summer has had an impact on tree farms, leading for the new plantings to not grow as much as expected. The American Christmas Tree Association has warned that supply chain issues and weather problems will mean that trees will be in short supply, so they’re recommending that those hoping to secure a real tree to buy earlier and expect to pay more this year....

What Is Fatigue? Fatigue refers to a sensation of exhaustion during or after usual daily activities or a lack of energy to begin these activities. Most people have fatigue at one time or another in their lives. Fatigue may result from exertion, lack of sleep, or acute illnesses (such as colds). Fatigue is not extreme or persistent, in such cases. Instead, it generally goes away after getting more rest or recovering from acute illness....

In particular, professional sports on TV in America. “There is so much said and written about this pandemic on a daily basis that it becomes difficult to sort things out,” Norris wrote in a recent column. “But observing the unfolding social experiment that is the return of professional sports in the midst of a pandemic can serve as a teachable moment for all of us.” The column was titled “Return of Televised Professional Sports Is More Than a Game,” and it dives into various opinions of different sports writers from various outlets....

The Ciba-Geigy Corporation From 1952-1990, the Ciba-Geigy Corporation (since acquired by BASF) operated a dye manufacturing plant in Toms River. Waste products from the plant were either stored in 47,000 drums or were treated and pumped through a pipeline to the Atlantic Ocean. In 1980, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection required Ciba-Geigy to begin groundwater monitoring and drum removal at the plant site. In 1983, the Toms River site was placed on the U....

“As I was talking about this law, I heard over and over and over again, mostly from black women, the very real discrimination and how they are made to feel inferior because of their natural hair, which they take very much pride in. That impedes their ability to be their best selves and live up to their full potential. And we can do something about that,” said Councilman Chris Seelbach, the person behind the ordinance....

Speaking to CNN’s Jim Acosta on Sunday, Obergefell, who was the plaintiff in the 2015 Supreme Court case that legalized same-sex marriage, said that he felt the court’s recent ruling on abortion should concern everyone in the U.S. Obergefell also reflected on comments recently made by Thomas regarding addressing other court rulings and the threat he believes this posed to same-sex marriage and intimacy. “In future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, & Obergefell,” Thomas said in a concurring opinion to the court’s decision overturning Roe v....

With her 10th pro bout, she’s eyeing boxing history, period. Or better yet, herstory, her way. Shields faces Ivana Habazin at the Dort Federal Event Center in her hometown of Flint, Mich. on Saturday night with the vacant WBO junior middleweight title on the line. On Wednesday afternoon, the WBC also agreed to sanction the bout for its vacant women’s junior middleweight championship, making two titles up for grabs this fight....

An 8 p.m. curfew was put in effect in anticipation of further violent protests in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where Floyd died Monday. A video circulated after his death appearing to show Floyd pinned to the ground by police who ignored his pleas for help. Curfews were also in place in St. Paul and neighboring suburbs, while the National Guard was also deployed in an attempt to control crowds. Protesters continued to march through the city despite the measures, although more dramatic scenes emerged in other locations throughout the country....

Benzema reaches 50 CL goals Karim Benzema scored in the 28th minute to give Madrid the lead, before adding another shortly into the second half. But Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang pulled one back and Borussia Dortmund equalised through Marco Reus in the 89th minute to dampen the spirits of the home crowd and seal first place for the German side. Before the match, there had been talk as to whether it would have been better to finish first or second in the group, with dangerous teams like Manchester City and Bayern Munich potentially in wait for the side that topped the sector....

That's because Australia, fabled in story and song as the Land Down Under, may be responsible for injuries to Dogers ace Clayton Kershaw and others, according to one Dodger. OK, the unnamed player didn't exactly blame the entire continent. But he did tell the Los Angeles Times he suspected his team's trip to play the Diamondbacks at Sydney Cricket Ground on March 22 and 23 may have played a role in injuries to Kershaw and reliever Brian Wilson....

Inflammatory breakouts respond well to benzoyl peroxide cleansers, which can reduce bacteria responsible for acne. If you are using any acne treatment medications, like Retin-A or BenzaClin, cleansing with medicated products may not be a good idea. Instead, use a mild cleanser such as Cetaphil. Whatever cleanser you choose, it should leave your skin clean but not too tight, dry, itchy, or red. Feeling overwhelmed? Ask your dermatologist or esthetician to recommend a few....

“We want to be helpful,” said George Bush. But his administration has its own money problems, and it still thinks extensive aid to Moscow would be wasted. A key presidential adviser described the latest Soviet economic-reform plan as “a Rube Goldberg contraption that will collapse in the first crosswind.” Bush could help in other ways. He is inclined to extend a waiver that allows Moscow to receive U.S. trade credits....

Speaking with CBS’ Dennis Dodd last week, the 50-year-old revealed he had flown to his house in Florida with a private plane last month and was considering repeating the trip as a family holiday for Easter. While South Carolina, where Swinney is based, isn’t among the states to have issued a shelter-in-place order, his admission went down like a lead balloon as millions of Americans have been told to limit their non-essential travel and adhere to social distancing measures as the country battles with the coronavirus pandemic....
