A mosquito sample from Long Island has tested positive for Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) as concern about the virus has grown, especially after an otherwise-healthy 41-year-old man died as a result of it recently. The New York State Department of Health informed officials in Suffolk County that a mosquito sample collected on Aug. 28 in the Connetquot River State Park Preserve in Oakdale tested positive for EEE, officials said Friday.

Saturday’s loss is extremely disappointing on its own, but when the bigger picture is examined, it’s just the latest example of Pittman being unable to close out tight games. Since Pittman took over the program in 2020, one-score games have been his kryptonite. Aside from a magical 2021 season that saw Arkansas go 9-4, Pittman’s record in games decided by eight points or less is a paltry 3-13. Five seasons into the Pittman era, the lack of wins in clutch situations isn’t just an unfortunate coincidence, but rather an appalling pattern that continues to crop up every season. Let’s not mince…

The No. 3 Texas Longhorns walked into Ann Arbor and absolutely owned The Big House on Saturday afternoon. The 31-12 drubbing of defending national champion No. 10 Michigan had college football pundits solidly behind Texas as a title contender in 2024. Ex-Longhorn running back Bijan Robinson, now with the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons, concurred and posted on X during the game to take a jab at Michigan’s on-field woes. The Wolverines couldn’t seem to get anything going on offense — turning the ball over three times and finding the end zone only once — while the defense just could not stop…
Announcement comes as Venezuela faces growing diplomatic isolation following election that opposition says was stolen.The government of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has ended Brazil’s authority to represent Argentine interests in the country, in the latest example of post-election tensions. The decision would halt Brazil’s stewardship of Argentina’s embassy in Caracas, which currently shelters six Venezuelan opposition members seeking asylum. In a statement on Saturday, Maduro’s government said that the decision was effective immediately, arguing, without proof, that assassination attempts were being planned within the diplomatic facility. Maduro and his allies have sought to crack down on opposition members, following a…
Murder charges filed against the father of a 14-year-old boy accused of a Georgia school shooting follow the successful prosecution of two parents in Michigan who were held responsible for a similar tragedy at a school north of Detroit. Is it a sign of a crackdown on parents accused of gross negligence when it comes to kids and guns? Could public outrage lead to more prosecutions or changes in law in other states, too? “It’s a matter of looking at the relationship between what the child says and does and what the parent knows about what the child says and…
