DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Armed assailants seized and later let go of a tanker linked to Israel off the coast of Yemen on Sunday before being apprehended by the United States Navy, officials said. Two ballistic missiles fired from Houthi-controlled Yemen then landed near a U.S. warship aiding the tanker in the Gulf of Aden, raising the stakes amid a series of ship attacks linked to the Israel-Hamas war.Yemen’s internationally recognized government blamed the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels for the attack, though the rebels in control of the capital, Sanaa, did not acknowledge either the seizure or the missile attack. The attackers seized the Liberian-flagged Central Park, managed by Zodiac Maritime, in the Gulf of Aden, the company, the U.S. and British militaries and private intelligence firm Ambrey said. The U.S. military’s Central Command said in a statement early Monday that its forces and allies, including the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Mason, responded...

(Courtesy Teffiney Worthy)A woman who lost one dog earlier this year in the tragic flooding at District Dogs is asking for help after an armed robber stole her new puppy Saturday afternoon.“It’s very traumatizing, you know.

College not the only path to successful future

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:33:39 GMT

Despite a growing sentiment against college and its high sticker prices, getting a bachelor’s degree is still worth it: In 2021, the median earnings of 25- to 34-year-olds with a bachelor’s degree were 55% higher than those who only completed high school, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.But a traditional college degree isn’t the only ticket to a well-paying career and rewarding life.“The number of alternative pathways that are available is expanding dramatically. It’s no longer, ‘I have to go to a four-year school,’” says Mark Schneider, director of the U.S. Education Department’s Institute of Education Sciences. Increasingly, he says, hiring managers focus on skills rather than degrees.Many of these alternative pathways are more affordable than a bachelor’s degree, too. To build the skills necessary for a successful and potentially lucrative career, consider these six routes.1. Community collegeYou can earn an associate degree in just two years at a ...

Joel Kinnaman is beyond words in ‘Silent Night’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:33:39 GMT

If ever there was a movie with the most appropriate title, it would easily be this week’s “Silent Night.”For this high-octane, extremely violent revenge thriller from the Hong Kong master John Woo (“Hard Target,” “Face/Off”) is exactly that: A “silent” movie with not one word of dialogue.Joel Kinnaman (“The Suicide Squad,” “For All Mankind”) stars as Godluck, a regular guy playing with his son on Christmas Eve when tragedy strikes. The boy is killed, Godluck, seriously wounded, is left unable to speak. The two victims might as well be trash left in the gutter by the speeding car.Like “John Wick,” “Taken” and others, Godluck becomes an avenging angel bent on take-no-prisoners revenge.For Kinnaman, 44, “Just taking away the sound doesn’t really give you a good movie.”Showing up without any lines to learn meant a different kind of preparation. “Actually” Kinnaman said in a Zoom interview, “it made me understand pretty quickly that when you remove one element – that there will be ...

Editorial: Are generic drugs too cheap for their own good?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:33:39 GMT

More than 90% of prescriptions in the U.S. are filled with generic drugs. These cheaper alternatives to branded medications have expanded access to care for millions of Americans while saving the health system hundreds of billions of dollars a year. While the prices of branded drugs have skyrocketed in recent years, generics prices have been falling steadily.For patients, this sounds like unqualified good news. Yet there’s a downside if prices fall too low: In recent months, major manufacturers have declared bankruptcy and scaled back production. Hundreds of generic drugs are now in shortage, including lifesaving cancer treatments and medicines for premature babies.How can prices for in-demand products fall too low? As ever when it comes to the U.S. health care market, the answer isn’t straightforward.The Hatch-Waxman Act, passed in 1984, laid the groundwork for the modern generics industry. One of its greatest achievements was establishing a regulatory regime in which generic drugs...
