US to lift most federal COVID-19 vaccine mandates next week

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:12:17 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration will end most of the last remaining federal COVID-19 vaccine requirements next week when the national public health emergency for the coronavirus ends, the White House said Monday.Vaccine requirements for federal workers and federal contractors, as well as foreign air travelers to the U.S., will end May 11. The government is also beginning the process of lifting shot requirements for Head Start educators, healthcare workers, and noncitizens at U.S. land borders.The requirements are among the last vestiges of some of the more coercive measures taken by the federal government to promote vaccination as the deadly virus raged, and their end marks the latest display of how President Joe Biden’s administration is moving to treat COVID-19 as a routine, endemic illness.“While I believe that these vaccine mandates had a tremendous beneficial impact, we are now at a point where we think that it makes a lot of sense to pull these requirements do...

Heat preparing for all scenarios with Jimmy Butler (ankle) questionable for Game 2

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:12:17 GMT

Erik Spoelstra looks tired. Pink eyes, body hunched.It’s less than 24 hours after his Miami Heat stole Game 1 at Madison Square Garden with a 108-101 victory over the Knicks on Sunday. Forty-three minutes into the victory, Spoelstra’s best player, Jimmy Butler, came up limping after turning his ankle on a drive to the rim.Butler played through the pain, limping up and down the court in intermittent spurts. The limp grew more significant in the locker room postgame, and by the time the star forward began to get dressed, his ankle had swollen to the size of a baseball. His teammate, Kyle Lowry, joked Butler went down with the injury as if he’d been shot.The Heat star responded as a trainer taped his ankle: He hadn’t turned it this bad in quite some time.Butler’s status remains uncertain for Game 2, a must-win for a Knicks team that wants to retain some semblance of home-court advantage this series, and make no mistake: he is the engine that gives the eigh...

Anna Wintour defends honoring Karl Lagerfeld at 2023 Met Gala, despite controversial remarks

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:12:17 GMT

By Karu F. Daniels, New York Daily NewsWhen it comes to this year’s Met Gala, Anna Wintour prefers to focus more on the art than the artist.The longtime Vogue magazine editor said that despite Karl Lagerfeld’s controversial commentary, his work deserves to be honored at the annual event she’s presided over since 1995.The theme for this year’s star-studded fete, which benefits the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, pays tribute to the late German designer, who died in 2019 at 85.“Karl was provocative, and he was full of paradoxes,” Wintour told Gayle King on CBS Mornings Monday. “And I think sometimes he would say things … to shock, and not necessarily things that he believed in.”English magazine editor Anna Wintour and Swiss tennis player Roger Federer, look at items of Karl Lagerfeld on display during the press preview of The Costume Institute’s exhibition titled Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty, at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on May 1, 2023. ...

Mets edged by Braves in Game 1 of doubleheader

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:12:17 GMT

Pitching help is on the way for the Mets, but it can’t come soon enough.Calling up Denyi Reyes to make a start was always a gamble. There have always been questions about whether or not his stuff could play at the big league level and the Mets thought he possessed the traits to be able to start.Reyes (0-1) was used as an opener Monday in the first game of a doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves and he put the Mets in a hole right away. The Mets were nearly able to overcome it, coming within one run of tying the game in the sixth inning. But Sean Murphy hit his second home run of the game in the seventh inning off right-hander Jeff Brigham to doom the Mets in a 9-8 loss at Citi Field.Weather postponements left the Mets’ bullpen in a good spot and they were able to lean on Stephen Nogosek, who was activated from the injured list before the game, to pitch the Mets back into the game after Reyes gave up five earned runs over the first and second innings. He recorded only t...

The average mortgage payment being offered to buyers in Massachusetts is the third highest in the nation, according to data compiled by LendingTree.The analysis looked at mortgage offers on the company’s platform across all fifty states. The national average came in at $2,317. The average in Massachusetts was $3,021, behind only Hawaii and California at $3,696, and $3,399 respectively.“Unfortunately even as the housing market cools and prices fall in some areas, mortgage payments are likely to remain steep for most new buyers, at least compared to where they were over the pandemic,” LendingTree’s Senior Economist and report author, Jacob Channel.  “This is because mortgage rates are poised to remain relatively high for some time while prices aren’t likely to drop drastically in most parts of the country.”Galvin levies $2.5M fine in securities caseA Missouri broker-dealer will be required to pay a $2.5 million fine and more than $700,000 in restitution after allegedly fai...
