SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert lost his bid for a perfect game against the Texas Rangers when Marcus Semien led off the seventh inning with a single.Gilbert had been overpowering against one of the top offenses in baseball Monday night.

Josh Jung’s long fly to center field was tracked down by Julio Rodriguez for the second out of the fifth.

Montevideo toma agua más salada ante la sequía y falta de reservas en embalses

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:10:33 GMT

(CNN Español) –– Pese a estar ubicado sobre una de las mayores reservas de agua dulce del mundo, Uruguay sufre desde hace un par de semanas problemas desabastecimiento de agua potable en su capital.El agua sigue fluyendo por las cañerías, pero desde hace varios días su sabor es más salado por el exceso de sodio, lo cual generó quejas de los usuarios y preocupaciones de salud entre los médicos.¿A qué se debe este cambio? A que, ante el déficit hídrico y la escasez de agua dulce en el río Santa Lucía y en sus embalses por la sequía que sufre el país, la empresa estatal Obras Sanitarias del Estado (OSE) decidió empezar a partir del 26 de abril a realizar una mezcla diferente del agua disponible. Eso supone tomar una parte del agua de una fuente más cercana al río de la Plata, el estuario que recibe aguas oceánicas saladas.“Decidimos en el día de hoy empezar a mezclar en forma diferente (…) El agua ‘aguas abajo’ puede tener mayor salinidad, pero nos vemos obligados a que por lo menos la...

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Joey Wiemer has made more of an impact with his glove than with his bat thus far in his rookie season.But the Milwaukee Brewers outfielder showed Monday night just how much potential he has to produce at the plate.Wiemer and Willy Adames hit three-run homers to back Freddy Peralta’s strong pitching and the Brewers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 9-3.Wiemer rebounded from a tough road trip by going 2 of 3 with a career-high four RBIs.“When I get my feet under me, I’ll get going,” Wiemer said. “It’s a hard game and it humbles you quick.”The Brewers have won their last two games after losing six straight. Milwaukee ended its longest skid of the young season Sunday with a 7-3 victory at San Francisco.Chris Taylor hit a two-run homer in the ninth for the Dodgers, who lost for just the second time in 10 games.Wiemer has played great defense and made a seamless transition when a shoulder injury to fellow rookie Garrett Mitchell caused him to shift his primary position fro...

Colorado passes property tax bill

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:10:33 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — The 2023 legislative session is officially wrapping up and with it comes the passage of several bills, including a potential fix to high property tax bills. Republicans walked out of the House in the session's final hours, upset with the Democrats’ bill on property taxes.House Minority Leader Mike Lynch, R-Wellington, issued a statement in response."For 120 days, our minority caucus came to the House Chamber with the intention of collaborating despite not having a seat at the table and being told to wait outside while real decisions were being made inside. Invoking rarely — if ever — used rules doesn’t just silence us, it takes away the opportunity for the people we represent to hear what we have to say.By walking out in protest, we sent a message to the Majority, who are mostly Metro area Democrats, that our state includes much more than the concrete and steel parts of Colorado. Our voices - that fill the Front Range and the Western Slope — deserve to have...

Reform or die? If the US gets its way, the WTO might do both

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:10:33 GMT

GENEVA — The United States put the World Trade Organization into intensive care by single-handedly killing off its highest court four years ago — in so doing endangering the global rules-based trading system.Now Washington is — ever so quietly — floating the idea of a new-look appeals process that could help get the WTO off life support. And that is leading some trade diplomats in Geneva to question whether the patient would survive the operation that Joe Biden’s administration has in mind.“It’s reform or die,” one senior Geneva trade diplomat told POLITICO, setting out the scale of the task before the WTO and its director-general, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.“[Major powers] are contesting the norms, they are pushing the rules. And if we don’t accommodate and adjust and find a way to keep the big players in the system, then … we do fade into irrelevance,” they added.The creation of the WTO in 1995 represented the high-water mark of globalization and the liberal world order follo...
