Water valve cover on Las Vegas Grand Prix course halts first practice of the weekend

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Tempers flared at the Las Vegas Grand Prix after the first practice of the $500 million race was halted nine minutes into the session Thursday night because Carlos Sainz Jr. ran over a water valve cover that badly damaged his Ferrari. The FIA said Sainz hit the concrete frame around the cover. It took another 11 minutes for the governing body to call all cars off track so it could inspect the entire circuit. The start of a second practice scheduled for midnight Thursday was delayed, and Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur raged that the “just unacceptable” incident would keep Sainz from participating. But Sainz was ready to practice after Ferrari replaced the entire chassis and other components, which the FIA ruled would be a 10-place grid penalty for Sainz. As the moderator of a post-practice news conference attempted to ask Vasseur about the “bigger picture,” Vasseur refused to change the topic. “I’m not sure the topic for me today. We had a very tough FP1 that ...Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake boys cross-country team reflects on record-breaking season

BURNT HILLS, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- The word "dynasty" can get thrown around pretty loosely sometimes. But there's no better way to describe a Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake boys cross-country team that claimed a seventh straight NYSPHSAA Class B championship last Saturday - the longest streak of state titles for any boys cross-country team in New York history.

"We really didn't talk about the record," said head coach Chip Button, who's in his 33rd year at the helm of the program. "We didn't do it last year. Or...I didn't do it last year. And one person on the starting line (Saturday)…actually mentioned it," Button said with a smile to his team laughing next to him. "It was the only time it was mentioned all weekend until afterwards. Saturday's meet was by far...the most emotional of any of 'em. It was beyond belief about how I felt afterwards."Senior Matt Windecker has been part of three of those champions...Saints aim to bounce back after dropping two straight

“You know what Plato said about wisdom?” a club player asked me. “He knew he was wise because he knew that he knew nothing.”“A cogent observation.”“And you know how he knew that? Because his wife told him.”My friend had played at today’s four spades. He took the king of diamonds, led a trump to his hand and returned a club toward dummy.“West played low. I thought he might have grabbed the ace if he had it, so I played the jack. East took the queen, and I lost to the A-K of hearts and ace of clubs. Down one.”PASSED HAND“My wife said I should have guessed right in clubs. She said East was a passed hand and was marked with the jack of diamonds. Part of the time he would hold the A-K of hearts, and then he couldn’t have the ace of clubs. That wisdom was too subtle for me. Maybe Plato would have understood it.”I suppose North had a point.

Eighteen years ago, Anne Shimabukuro of Potomac, Maryland, realized something was off with her body when she began having stomach pains when she ate.“I realized that something was wrong when I was feeling nauseous after eating, and then the pain would last all day,” she said.The pain in her stomach would last for three days and be followed by a limp when she walked. The limp caught the eye of her relatives who then urged Shimabukuro to go see a doctor. She went to her OB-GYN who, during a sonogram, found something small on her pancreas.Further testing revealed a frightening diagnosis: stage one pancreatic cancer.“When I heard that it was pancreatic cancer, it was just a shock,” Shimabukuro recalled.According to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, or PANCAN, for which Shimabukuro volunteers, the illness is caused by abnormal cells in the pancreas that grow and divide out of control.While the tumors that it creates can be benign, others can be malignant.In the United States, the dis...Así son las propuestas económicas de Massa y Milei: ¿cómo se comparan?

(CNN Español) — La segunda vuelta del 19 de noviembre en Argentina no sólo define quién será el próximo presidente, sino también qué rumbo tomará el país. Si bien es cierto que las propuestas pueden alterarse en cualquier caso cuando se trata de gobernar, Massa y Milei evalúan diferentes caminos para lograr el desarrollo económico del país, en un contexto de alta inflación, aumento de la pobreza y contracción de los salarios.Ejes centrales y comparaciónMassa propone un programa basado en el equilibrio fiscal, el superávit comercial, un tipo de cambio competitivo y un desarrollo con inclusión. Esos son sus principales postulados. Milei no discrepa en el orden de las cuentas públicas, pero impulsa concretamente para lograrlo un fuerte recorte del gasto público en una primera etapa.Massa entiende que el superávit comercial se logra a partir de venderle al mundo todo lo que Argentina puede producir. En este punto, Milei apuesta por una apertura unilateral del comercio internaciona...Latest news
