SAN FRANCISCO — Outfielder Mitch Haniger is not expected to make his Giants debut this homestand, manager Gabe Kapler said before the team’s home opener at Oracle Park on Friday.Their highest-priced free-agent addition is more likely to make his debut during the club’s upcoming trip to Detroit and Miami starting April 14, Kapler said. However, Haniger said that he is still in the early stages of his rehab and will require a rehab assignment before he’s ready to join the big-league club.Haniger suffered an oblique injury in spring training and was placed on the 10-day injured list to start the season. He said Friday that back tightness interrupted his progress and provided a minor setback.“My back locked up for me right around the time the team left (spring training), so I had to put things on hold for a while,” he said. “But now I’m just kind of building up baseball activities and hopefully will start ramping things up here.”He said he had to get some medication to...

To Help End the Yemen War, All China Had to Do Was Be Reasonable

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 06:49:33 GMT

The war in Yemen looks like it’s coming to an end. U.S. media reported on Thursday that a cease-fire extending through 2023 had been agreed to, but those reports also included Houthi denials. On Friday, Al Mayadeen, a generally pro-Houthi Lebanese news outlet, reported optimism from the Houthi side that the deal is real and the war is winding down. Reuters later on Friday matched Al Mayadeen’s reporting, confirming that Saudi envoys will be traveling to Sana’a to discuss the terms of a “permanent ceasefire.”What’s startling here is the apparent role of China — and complete absence of the U.S. and President Joe Biden — in the deal-making.“Biden promised to end the war in Yemen. Two years into his presidency, China may have delivered on that promise,” said Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. “Decades of militarized American foreign policy in the Middle East have enabled China to play the role of peacemaker while W...

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 06:49:33 GMT

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Seven women who have sued to challenge the admission of a transgender woman to their sorority at the University of Wyoming can’t remain anonymous in court, a judge has ruled in a case highlighting tension over belonging for transgender people in the least-populated state.The women must refile their lawsuit with their real names by April 20, U.S. District Judge Alan Johnson in Cheyenne wrote Thursday. “The bottom line is this. Lawsuits are public events, and the public, especially here, has an important interest in access to legal proceedings,” Johnson wrote. “Plaintiffs may not levy serious accusations without standing behind them.” The seven women identify themselves only as “Jane Does” in their lawsuit filed March 27 accusing Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority of breaking its own rules while admitting the transgender woman last fall. The sorority national office pressured the University of Wyoming chapter to violate those rules, the lawsuit alleges....
