MALMO, Sweden (AP) — Malmo became Swedish champion for the 23rd time on Sunday by beating title rival Elfsborg 1-0 on a second-half penalty taken by league top scorer Isaac Kiese Thelin.The win meant Malmo caught up with Elfsborg on points in the final round of the season and won the Swedish league on a better goal difference.Elfsborg missed a chance to secure the title in the penultimate round last week when they only managed a draw against last-place Varberg, which left the gap to Malmo at three points.After a scoreless first half in Malmo, the second half was delayed by about one hour after fans set off pyrotechnics that triggered the fire alarm inside the packed stadium.Malmo took the lead 11 minutes into the second half when Kiese Thelin was awarded a penalty and took it himself to score his 16th goal of the season.Malmo has the most league titles in Swedish football ahead of IFK Goteborg, which had a poor season and barely escaped a relegation playoff by scoring in second-half...

'Superbug' cases rising in Nevada over past two months: health officials

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:08:36 GMT

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) -- A "superbug" that can cause severe infections in hospital patients is on the rise in Nevada healthcare facilities.Information obtained by Nexstar's KLAS from the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services shows Candida auris, or C. auris, has been found at 42 facilities, with Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center in Las Vegas experiencing the highest levels -- nearly 500 total cases.C. auris is a fungus that is easily spread. It is one of five superbugs identified in 2019 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as "urgent." They are so-called "superbugs" because they are hard to kill with existing drugs. In 2022, the CDC reported there were 2,377 clinical cases and 5,754 screening or colonization cases -- where the fungus was present but had not caused an infection -- in the U.S. In Nevada alone, there were 384 clinical cases reported, more than any other state (California was close behind at 359). CDC warns of drug-resistant, deadly fungus: H...

The House will meet starting Monday this week, where it also needs to pass a measure that will fund the government past Friday.Greene moved to force a vote on the matter last week, which accuses Mayorkas of “willful admittance of border crossers” and says he has a duty to protect the U.S. from an “invasion.” The Georgia lawmaker also accuses the Biden administration Cabinet secretary of violating the Secure Fence Act, a 2006 law that demands perfection at the border by declaring the border operationally secure only if no people or contraband improperly enter the county. The privileged resolution requires swift action by the chamber...

Leave it to Minnesota beavers? Not if you’re a wolf.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:08:36 GMT

Beavers are influential. By cutting trees and damming streams, these rodents change the world around them, raising water levels and creating habitats for diverse plants, insects, fish and more. They are some of the world’s best-known ecosystem engineers, a term for species that produce outsize effects on their environments.Wolves are powerful. As apex predators, their facility at killing reverberates down the food web, and their direct effect on prey species may affect vegetation, other animals and even how streams flow.So what happens when an apex predator meets — and eats — an ecosystem engineer? This clash-of-titans question underlies a study published Wednesday in Proceedings of the Royal Society B that investigated how wolves affect beaver activity, and thus forest composition, in Voyageurs National Park in northern Minnesota.The study found that wolves attack beavers that strike out farther from their homes; thus they limit the extent to which beavers can down trees and transf...
