Former baseball MVP Steve Garvey joins California US Senate race, gives GOP ballot dash of celebrity

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:48:46 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Former baseball MVP Steve Garvey joined the race Tuesday to succeed the late California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, giving Republicans a splash of star quality on the ballot in a heavily Democratic state where the GOP hasn’t won a Senate race in 35 years.Garvey, 74, launched his campaign with a video lush with baseball imagery that recalled his career as a perennial All-Star who played for the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres. It also signaled he would lean toward the political center in a party dominated by former President Donald Trump, the leading GOP presidential candidate who could share the ballot with Garvey next year.“I never played for Democrats or Republicans or independents. I played for all of you,” Garvey said in the video, in which he also alluded to problems vexing the state from homelessness to crime. “It’s going to be a common sense campaign.”In an interview, Garvey said he voted for Trump in the past but had not settled on a pick in the unfold...

Why your fall allergies might be worse than spring

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:48:46 GMT

People who suffer from seasonal allergies are finding that the misery is lasting longer than it used to. Because of warmer temperatures, the pollen season is starting earlier and ending later each year.“The pollen season in D.C. is extended. It used to start in March or April and end in early October. It now starts at the end of February and goes through November — most people think because of global warming,” said Dr. Henry Fishman, an allergy and immunology specialist based in the District.“Also, in addition to noticing from experience, the national studies show the number of people with allergies has actually doubled in the last 20 years. So the season is longer and people are suffering more,” he added.The National Institute of Food and Agriculture says that not only are pollen seasons longer, research indicates the seasons carry 21% more pollen than they did in 1990.“All I know is I’m busy all day, every day,” said Fishman, who maintains...

Rose hips’ seedpods provide a pop of color in the fall and winter garden

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:48:46 GMT

The rose has long been regarded as the “queen of flowers,” revered for its fragrance and beauty. But less lauded are the orange and red hips, or seedpods, that form after the flowers fade. And that’s a shame.If they’re left on the plant, the rose hips will take center stage in autumn and provide a beautiful pop of color through the winter — or at least until the birds get them.Like every fruiting plant and tree, a rose’s blossoms will give way to fruit if left undisturbed. That fruit, the hip, contains a seed. Not all roses produce hips, however. Some modern cultivars are sterile. For the biggest, best or tastiest hips, seek out rambling, shrub and wild, non-hybrid species roses. My favorites are the North American native Rosa Virginiana’s glossy, scarlet hips, Rosa glauca’s clusters of small, deep red hips, and Rosa rugosa’s sweet hips, which are so large and round they remind me of cherry tomatoes.To improve and increase the hips your roses produce, treat plants to mon...

Keir Starmer covered in glitter by protestor as he opens Labour conference speech

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:48:46 GMT

Labour leader Keir Starmer was covered in glitter and heckled by an angry protestor as he began addressing Labour’s annual conference in Liverpool on Wednesday.In an incident that will raise major questions about the security arrangements for the leader of the U.K. opposition, a man rushed the main conference stage, shouted and poured glitter all over Starmer before being bundled off stage.As the protestor was wrestled to the ground, he shouted: “True democracy is citizen led. Politics needs an update. We demand a people’s house. We demand a people’s house. We are in crisis, we are in crisis.” Starmer — on course to become Britain’s next leader based on current polling — shrugged off the incident, removing his jacket and rolling up his shirt sleeves, before quipping: “Protest not power; that’s why we changed our party conference.”And he said of the protestor: “If he thinks that bothers me, he doesn’t know me.”Th...
