Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey, S Marcus Williams, LT Ronnie Stanley active vs. Steelers; RT Morgan Moses out

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:56:19 GMT

The Ravens will try to complete an AFC North road sweep Sunday in Pittsburgh, and they’ll do as healthy as they have been since the start of the season.Five players are back this week, including left tackle Ronnie Stanley and safety Marcus Williams, neither of whom has played since Week 1 with knee and pectoral injuries, respectively. Cornerback Marlon Humprhey is also back after being out since undergoing foot surgery in mid-August.Others returning are wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr., who had been out since suffering an ankle injury in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals, and Rashod Bateman, who missed last week’s game against the Cleveland Browns with a hamstring injury.But Baltimore (3-1) will be without right tackle Morgan Moses (shoulder), who had played in 134 straight games, the third-longest active streak in the NFL. Being without Moses could be problematic, with the Steelers’ T.J. Watt one of the best pass rushers in the NFL. Patrick Mekari or Daniel...

German conservative opposition seen winning 2 state elections, with far-right making gains

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:56:19 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s center-right opposition was set to win two state elections on Sunday at the halfway mark of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s unpopular national government, according to exit polls, which showed gains for a far-right party.Germany’s national interior minister, who had faced an uphill struggle in a bid to become governor of her home region, appeared headed for a heavy defeat.About 9.4 million people are eligible to vote for the new state legislature in Bavaria and around 4.3 million in neighboring Hesse, a region that includes Germany’s financial capital, Frankfurt. Both states are led by the country’s main opposition Union bloc, made up of the Christian Democratic Union and the Bavaria-only Christian Social Union.Exit polls for ARD and ZDF public television showed the CSU, which has led Bavaria since 1957, on course to extend that run with support of around 37% — little changed from five years ago and around 20 points ahead of its nearest...

150-year-old Florida Keys lighthouse illuminated for first time in a decade

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:56:19 GMT

ISLAMORADA, Fla. (AP) — A 150-year-old beacon that helped guide ships through the treacherous Florida Keys coral reefs before GPS, sonar and other technology made it obsolete is shining again as part of a national effort to save historic lighthouses that have dotted the U.S. coast for more than a century.An Islamorada community group that is spending $6 million to restore and preserve the Alligator Reef Lighthouse turned on its new solar-powered lights on Saturday to remind the public about the effort.“Alligator Lighthouse was lit in 1873 and it stayed lit until about 2013, and then it went dark for 10 years,” said Rob Dixon, the executive director of Save Alligator Lighthouse, which took over the lighthouse’s title in late 2021. “And now our Statue of Liberty is lit once again.”The lighthouse is named after the USS Alligator, a Navy schooner that ran aground on the reef in 1822 and sank. Alligator and five other aging lighthouses off the Keys were important maritime navigatio...

A workforce crisis is damaging families’ access to therapies for babies with developmental delays

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:56:19 GMT

CHICAGO (AP) — Alexander watches Paw Patrol with fervor, bowls his baby brother over with hugs and does everything with gusto.What the 3-year-old West Chicago toddler can’t do yet is speak more than a few words. His balance is wobbly and he isn’t able to let his preschool teachers know when he’s hurt or scared.When his mother, Hilda Garcia, had him tested, the youngster qualified for five therapies through a U.S. program dedicated to treating developmental delays in babies and toddlers — treatment designed to help Alexander develop the tools he needs to thrive. The relief she felt in identifying what he needed was short-lived. The federally mandated Early Intervention program is plagued by chronic staffing shortages nationwide, leaving thousands of desperate parents frustrated: They know their children need support, they’re aware of proven therapies that could make a difference, but they have to wait for months to get the help they need.After 14 months of phone calls, hours of resea...
