Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:05:01 GMT

(CNN) — Renee Martray of South Carolina has severe and permanent corneal scarring resulting in vision loss. She says it’s like trying to peer through eyeglasses that have been dipped in oil.Nancy Montz of Ohio developed a corneal ulcer, spent three weeks in the hospital and lost vision in her left eye.Carla Oliva of Florida developed a severe eye infection and, when treatment failed, had to have her right eye removed. She’s now legally blind.The women said their problems began after they used EzriCare Artificial Tears, which is part of a US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and US Food and Drug Administration investigation into a multistate outbreak of a rare strain of bacteria.EzriCare said in a statement last month that when it learned of the investigation January 20, it was not aware of any testing that definitively linked the outbreak to its product.“Nonetheless, we immediately took action to stop any further distribution...

Nets fall apart in crunch time vs. Cavs, 5-game losing streak has team facing reality of play-in tournament

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:05:01 GMT

Dorian Finney-Smith said one word: “oof.”Joe Harris took a deep breath.Mikal Bridges said he didn’t have an answer for the question.By the 2:30 mark of the fourth quarter of Thursday’s matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Nets felt they had deserved to win.And by the time the clock struck 0.7 — after Donovan Mitchell rebounded his own missed free throw, and the ball miraculously found Cavs’ guard Isaac Okoro wide-open for the game-winning three — the Nets officially found themselves in play-in tournament territory.The Nets led by 10 with 6:19 to go in the fourth quarter and held an eight-point lead with just over two minutes left. They folded under a series of turnovers that gave the Cavs easy offense in transition, wiping away what the team felt was 45 minutes of good basketball.“I felt like we deserved to win that game because we did a lot of good things throughout the course of the night. Now we have to let that game go and ...

Bruins notebook: This weekend could be a tone-setter for B’s

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:05:01 GMT

The Bruins’ back-to-back games this weekend had appeared to be a pivotal two-game set for months. They will play the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday (1 p.m.) at the Garden and then travel to Carolina to play the Hurricanes on Sunday (5 p.m.).But the importance of these two games has changed. Standings-wise, Saturday’s game does not matter much at all. The B’s have all but sewn up the Atlantic Division (a win on Saturday or a regulation loss by Toronto will clinch the Atlantic). Meanwhile the Bolts won’t be caught from behind by Florida and their hopes of catching Toronto for second-place are dimming.Psychologically, however, a game against a potential second round opponent at this point in the season is not a throwaway.Neither team wants to lay an egg in this situation and, to be honest, both clubs could stand to manufacture a good performance. The B’s are riding a five-game win streak but have needed superb goaltending performances from Linus Ullmark a...

Summer travel is likely to remain hot this year, so book early

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:05:01 GMT

Travel last summer was, in a word, wild.Pent-up “revenge” travel combined with relaxed restrictions caused a surge in demand. High fuel prices and limited airline capacity drove up costs, with overall travel prices increasing 17% over pre-pandemic levels by June 2022, according to NerdWallet’s Travel Price Index.What about this summer? Will weakening demand lead to lower prices and thinner crowds? It’s not looking likely, according to travel experts.“We aren’t seeing any dip in demand,” says Hayley Berg, lead economist at Hopper, a travel booking platform. “It seems incredible that the demand could be sustained, but we’re not seeing any weakness right now.”It seems that Americans’ appetite for revenge remains unsated. And that could lead to another wild ride this summer.No relief from high pricesPrices for flights, car rentals and hotels may have peaked last year, but they haven’t come down much.Overall trip prices remained 15% higher in January 2023 compared with January 2020...

Michigan 1st state in decades to repeal ‘right-to-work’ law

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:05:01 GMT

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan, long known as a mainstay of organized labor, on Friday became the first state in decades to repeal a union-restricting law known as “right-to-work” that was passed over a decade ago by a Republican-controlled Legislature.The state’s “right-to-work” law had allowed those in unionized workplaces to opt out of paying union dues and fees. Its repeal is seen as a major victory for organized labor with union membership reaching an all-time low last year. “Today, we are coming together to restore workers’ rights, protect Michiganders on the job, and grow Michigan’s middle class,” Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said in a statement Friday after signing the legislation.The second-term governor also signed legislation restoring a prevailing wage law that had been repealed by Republicans in 2018. It requires contractors hired for state projects to pay union-level wages.Repealing the “right-to-work” law, enacted in 2012, had long been listed as a top...
