TORONTO (AP) — Shohei Ohtani will start Game 7 of the World Series for the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Toronto Blue Jays, showcasing the two-way star on the mound in the sport’s biggest game.Starting Ohtani makes more sense for the Dodgers than using him in relief.Under a rule adopted for the 2022 season, pitchers who start games in the batting order can remain in the game as a designated hitter after leaving the mound. If Ohtani would start the game only as a DH and then would take the mound, the Dodgers would lose their DH and pitchers would…

I grew up in Nara, Japan, surrounded by fruit trees, farms, and generous neighbors who would bring us baskets of freshly picked strawberries, watermelons, persimmons, figs, and pretty much anything that was ripe on their farm.Fruit was part of the seasons, traditions, celebrations, and even medicine. As a nutritionist, I still believe that fruit is one of the most powerful tools we have for supporting health and longevity. Plus, it tastes incredible.While I’m obsessed with all fruit, here are the five I always keep in my kitchen for a long and healthy life.1.

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Nigeria’s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is pushing back after his U.S. counterpart designated the West African country “a country of particular concern” for allegedly failing to rein in the persecution of Christians.In a social media statement on Saturday, Tinubu said that the characterization of Nigeria as a religiously intolerant country does not reflect the national reality.“Religious freedom and tolerance have been a core tenet of our collective identity and shall always remain so,” Tinubu said. “Nigeria opposes religious persecution and does not encourage it. Nigeria is a country with constitutional guarantees to protect citizens of all…

With no endgame in sight, the U.S. government shutdown is expected to roll on for the unforeseeable future, injecting more uncertainty into an already precarious economy.The monthlong closure has halted routine federal operations, furloughed around 750,000 federal employees and left others working without pay. Funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, lapsed after Friday and airports have been scrambling with flight disruptions.Democrats seek an extension of expiring tax credits that have helped millions of people afford health insurance, while Republicans say they won’t negotiate until the government is reopened.Americans, meanwhile, are divided on who’s to blame.

KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — Rescuers and aid workers fanned out across Jamaica on Saturday to distribute food and water and reach communities still isolated four days after Hurricane Melissa hit the island.Essential relief supplies are now rolling into hurricane-stricken St. Elizabeth and Westmoreland, most of which had been cut off by fallen concrete posts and trees strewn across roads. But in some parts, people were forced to dip buckets into rivers, collecting the muddy water for everyday use, while others have been eating coconuts and roasting breadfruit.Social Security Minister Pearnel Charles Jr. was among several convoys of emergency responders en…
