By LAURAN NEERGAARD U.S. regulators on Tuesday authorized a COVID-19 booster shot for healthy 5- to 11-year-olds, hoping an extra vaccine dose will enhance their protection as infections once again creep upward.

Screen capture is the quickest way to share your work or current page with anyone. Though there are many screen capture desktop tools (and we previously did a post on that), but if your work is mostly done on a web browser, then the best option would be to go for a screen capture browser…

Mike McDaniel and his coaching staff seem to be setting the tone for the type of team they want the Miami Dolphins to become during the team’s first organized team activity session open to the media — which was far more physical than expected.

Kershaw received an epidural injection to…

The first Miami Dolphins practice of organized team activities open to media on Tuesday revealed a new motivational tool coach Mike McDaniel is using in offseason drills. If a player is named the team’s practice player of the day, at the next day’s practice he gets to be the team DJ, deciding what songs will…

Q: Don Brennan of Chino asked if “the rules have changed” to allow semi trucks and vehicles pulling trailers to drive in the No. 2 lane on a four-lane freeway with a carpool lane. “I see it happening a lot lately and it pretty much turns the road into a one-lane freeway,” Brennan said, adding…

The Matt Harvey story has taken another sad turn. On Tuesday, Major League Baseball announced that Harvey has been suspended for 60 games without pay for “participating in the distribution of a prohibited Drug of Abuse in violation of Major League Baseball’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.” In February, Harvey testified in court that…

It has largely been described as the Miami Heat’s meaningless season finale, often along the lines of “The Miami Heat won six consecutive games to secure the No. 1 playoff seed in the Eastern Conference before losing their meaningless regular-season finale.” It turns out, a month after the fact, the 125-111 April 10 loss to…

As night falls during the hot turbulent summer of 1989, two men slip into the darkened fields of England to manufacture strangely inspired artworks that transfix and baffle the nation.  The two conspirators, one a former soldier of the Falklands War and the other an eccentric wanderer, devise vast elaborate crop circles in the wheat…

Johnny Cueto pitched several big games at Kauffman Stadium, topped by a World Series start for the Kansas City Royals in 2015. The right-hander was back at the ballpark — and back in the majors — Monday with the Chicago White Sox. He was terrific in his Sox debut, allowing two hits with seven strikeouts…

The nation’s two hottest political issues in this election year are inflation and abortion. The sharp spike in gasoline prices and other costs of living has undermined President Joe Biden’s popularity and Republicans see it as the key to retaking control of Congress. Worried about losing Congress, Democrats hope that adverse reaction to the U.S.…

Andrelton Simmons’ return to the Chicago Cubs couldn’t have come at a better time. Simmons endured a frustrating rehab from right shoulder soreness, something he never had experienced in his 11-year big-league career before it sidelined him during spring training. But with second baseman Nick Madrigal already on the injured list, shortstop Nico Hoerner’s move…
