Former Astros GM Luhnow buys Spanish soccer club Leganés
MADRID (AP) — An investment group led by former Houston Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow has bought Spanish soccer club Leganés. “We will do all we can to improve this club,” Luhnow said in Madrid on Thursday after purchasing the second-division team for an undisclosed sum from prior owners Victoria Pavón and Felipe Moreno. Leganés is a modest club based in a neighborhood of southern Madrid. The team finished 12th in the 22-team second division last season. Two years ago, Luhnow and Astros manager AJ Hinch were suspended for one year by Major League Baseball after it was found that the team engineered a sign-stealing scheme using electronics during Houston’s run to the 2017 World Series title and again in the 2018 season. They were both subsequently fired in January 2020. An investigation by Major League Baseball revealed no evidence that Luhnow was involved in or aware of the sign-stealing scheme. Luhnow also has denied any involvement in the scheme. Luhnow heads Blue … [Read more...] about Former Astros GM Luhnow buys Spanish soccer club Leganés

In Key Breakthrough, US Doctors Identify Promising Drug Combination for Covid-19 Treatment
With countries struggling to contain the coronavirus epidemic, a possible drug combination developed by physicians in Kansas City could emerge as a key breakthrough. Doctors are employing two drugs in combination — hydroxychloroquine (HC) and azithromycin (AZ) — to treat Covid-19 patients, writes Dr Jeff Colyer in an article for the Washington Post. The course of medical treatment being used was reported in a recently conducted open-label trial in Marseille, France, which was subsequently updated on March 26, and which the doctors may further modify, the article said. For the usage of HC, there exist two pieces of evidence backing its efficacy in Covid-19 treatment — in vitro or test tube studies and field-based clinical studies. Post the SARS outbreak that erupted in 2002, a coronavirus linked to the one that causes Covid-19, an in vitro study conducted by physicians from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recognised chloroquine (a relative of HC) as an attractive … [Read more...] about In Key Breakthrough, US Doctors Identify Promising Drug Combination for Covid-19 Treatment

Noem on Dobbs SCOTUS Decision: ‘Today Is a Wonderful Day’
Friday on FNC’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) called the ruling in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling “good news” and explained how her state of South Dakota’s trigger law would go into effect. According to Noem, penalties for performing an abortion are aimed at abortion providers and do not punish mothers. Partial transcript as follows: INGRAHAM: Governor, great to see you tonight. Now, yours is one of the few states making abortion illegal immediately with few exceptions. Your response to those, including the President today, who said it puts women’s lives in jeopardy. NOEM: Well, Laura, let’s remember that today is a wonderful day. Today is a day of good news, something that many people have waited many, many years to have happen that lives would be saved.
