And to hear both sides tell it, CB Bucknor was rotten Tuesday night. MORE: Umps might be mic’d up to explain reviews Bucknor had the plate for the Nationals-Braves game in Atlanta. Let’s just say his strike zone judgment was . . . impaired, especially on this Jayson Werth at-bat. The arguments about camera angles/strike zone technology being misleading don’t hold water here. That’s just not good work. FOSTER: CB Bucknor proves MLB umps essentially have jobs for life...

THC is psychoactive, meaning that it affects your mood, perception, and other mental processes. It produces the “high” effects of marijuana. CBD is not psychoactive. It won’t get you high, but it can still have side effects, like making you feel relaxed. In 2018, the Farm Bill was signed into law. It removed hemp (a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant) and derivatives of cannabis with low levels of THC (0....

Diane Fillion’s security camera recorded the incident and shows her come into the frame waving a large stick. The video then shows her dog run directly past her followed by a large bear. The bear then directs its attention to Fillion and knocks her down. After thrashing the stick at the bear, she was able to get back on her feet while also keeping hold of the stick. The bear then ran back into the yard and climbed into a tree....

In a new interview, CD Projekt Red Co-Founder Adam Kicinski spoke openly about his studio’s projects. From Gwent to Cyberpunk 2077, Kicinski offered teases about the future of these titles and some introspective thoughts regarding their successes and failures. But of course, the key focus was whether or not CD Projekt might ever deliver The Witcher 4, to which Kicinski gave a pretty definitive, “No.” As Kicinski explains, Geralt’s adventure was always envisioned as a trilogy and that trilogy concluded with the release of The Witcher 3 and its two expansions....

Kate Woodworth, MD, a pediatrician at the CDC said during the meeting that “extensive experience” with non-COVID-19 vaccines has shown that the ability of a vaccine to create an immune response, along with potential side effects “are generally similar when vaccines are administered simultaneously as when they are administered alone." Previously, the ACIP recommended that COVID-19 vaccines be given alone, with a minimum of 14 days before or after for any other vaccine to be given, “to better understand any adverse reactions,” Woodworth said....

The CDC released the findings of the study on Thursday and noted that the percentage of the U.S. population with COVID antibodies increased significantly after the vaccine rollout began. The Delta variant has seen a surge in cases in the U.S. and though it is difficult to know with certainty when the first Delta cases hit the country, reports indicate the variant was in the U.S. by May at the latest....

In North Carolina, the vaccination clinic at the PNC Arena in Raleigh put vaccinations of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine on hold. Out of 2,300 shots administered at the arena by UNC Health, 18 people had reactions to the shot within 15 minutes of receiving it. Four were taken to the hospital for evaluation, while the rest has minor reactions. According to CDC one of these vaccine recipients experienced an allergic reaction....

This year alone, the CDC has recorded 1,003 cases of salmonella across the U.S., including two deaths. The agency’s suggestions include always washing your hands with soap and water after touching backyard poultry, not letting chickens inside the house and setting aside a separate pair of shoes to wear while taking care of backyard birds. The most unusual line in the CDC advisory, though, warns owners not to “kiss backyard poultry or snuggle them and then touch your face or mouth....

Jackson hit an amazing last-second half-court shot to beat the Perth Wildcats 89-87 in an NBL matchup between arch-rivals. MORE: Curry wins 3-point shootout | Zach LaVine wins dunk contest The miracle shot came after the Wildcats’ Jermaine Beale sank two free throws to give Perth a one-point lead with only seconds on the clock. No stranger to half-court shots, Jackson hit a 60-foot shot at the buzzer to lift Cleveland State over then-No....

Singer Billie Eilish accused Trump of “destroying our country and everything we care about.” Actor Zach Galifianakis “refused to host President Trump on [his] talk show.” Singer-actress Jennifer Lopez used her Super Bowl halftime performance to push back on Trump’s immigration policies. And singer Christina Aguilera “is an Obama-supporting Democrat and a gay rights supporting liberal.” The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services vetted 274 celebrities, and the documents that House Democrats obtained from contractors show notes were made on their political views, including those who are supportive of Trump or have not spoken publicly about politics, alongside more typical vetting notes, including arrests and assault allegations that could create negative attention....

The focus of the case himself apparently also found it difficult to stay away from the cameras. NEWSWEEK has learned that Bryant’s lawyer, Pamela Mackey, almost quit when he attended the ESPY Awards three days before charges were filed. She had instructed him to stay away, believing his appearance would seem disrespectful. (The lawyers and Bryant’s family–the star himself was reportedly “in denial”–knew that charges were imminent.) He and his wife remained at the awards until the lawyer sent Bryant’s bodyguards to retrieve him....

King Rashford conquering Europe in Zlatan’s absence A second-half Marcus Rashford free-kick saw United claim a 1-0 win on Thursday, giving them the upper hand in the last-four tie. Berizzo retains belief in his team to get the job done in the second leg, having scored at least once in every away Europa League game this season. “We will have to go and score a goal as we did other times,” he told beIN Sports....

Hearts had lost only three at home so far this season, but were blown away by the runaway leaders, who took the lead through Sinclair after 24 minutes when he fired into the roof of the net from an acute angle after fine interplay with Patrick Roberts. The forward doubled his tally three minutes later with a sharp finish to give Celtic a stranglehold on the match, before Stuart Armstrong and Roberts wrapped up victory with second-half efforts....

Celtic managed a 0-0 draw in their second leg match against IF Elfsborg, which was enough to see them go through to the play-offs of Champions League, after winning their first leg match 1-0 at home. After a quiet first half, with very few chances created, the best opportunity fell to Joe Ledley when he failed to convert a loose ball coming from a deflected free-kick of Kris Common....

Boston lost star guard Kyrie Irving, along with forward Al Horford, in free agency this summer but acquired Kemba Walker in a sign-and-trade with the Hornets. Stevens addressed the team’s recent moves when he met with reporters Tuesday. “Anytime you go through a year like we went through, where you don’t necessarily meet expectations, there’s probably going to be some change,” Stevens said, via The Boston Globe. Irving, who ended up signing with the Nets, had a rough stint in Boston....

Boston is emerging as a “stealth” suitor for Hornets guard Kemba Walker, according to the New York Times. Walker has told The Athletic during the offseason he would make Charlotte his first priority in free agency but he will have plenty of teams interested on the open market. The Lakers are reportedly interested in the guard as they traded away Lonzo Ball in the reported Anthony Davis deal and will likely not re-sign Rajon Rondo, who inked a one-year contract with the team last season....

Miami, the No. 1 seed in the East, dispatched Atlanta and Philadelphia in the first two rounds of the NBA Playoffs. Jimmy Butler has been the driving force behind the Heat’s success, as the All-Star forward is averaging 28.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 2.1 steals this postseason. Boston eliminated Brooklyn and Milwaukee on its way to the Eastern Conference Finals. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have carried the Celtics throughout the postseason, but they have gotten plenty of support from role players like Al Horford, Marcus Smart and Grant Williams....

While in conversation with Jorge Sedano on The Chael Sonnen Show, the 44-year-old discussed why Chikadze should face Max Holloway next. He also admitted that the Georgian was a bit too hopeful calling out ‘Blessed’ for a fight before his encounter with Barboza. However, having proved his mettle against the veteran Brazilian, Sonnen claimed that a fight against Max Holloway seems extremely enticing. How would Giga Chikadze fare in a fight against Max Holloway?...
