(AP) — New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge worked out at the team’s minor league complex on Friday in another step in his comeback from a right hip strain.Speaking before New York’s game at Tampa Bay, manager Aaron Boone said Judge hit indoors, ran, threw and did defensive drills at the nearby Tampa facility.Judge is eligible to come off the 10-day injured list on Monday. He is set for another workout on Saturday, and Boone is hopeful Judge will return early next week.Left-hander Carlos Rodón is scheduled to get an injection for his ailing mid-back early next week.

Willard Middle School teachers Damon Laabs, Jennifer Griffin and Whitney Maloy. (WTOP/Scott Gelman)While recently interviewing a job candidate, Willard Middle School Principal Jeff Rounsley responded to the candidate’s question about his vision for the school.Rounsley spoke extensively about the school’s philosophy, and Jennifer Griffin, a sixth grade English teacher who’s in her second year at Willard, said the candidate was so impressed that she asked to applaud Rounsley’s response. She ultimately accepted the position, and will join his staff next year.The Virginia Department of Education recently recognized Rounsley for his ability to recruit and retain teachers and other staff, a task that has become increasingly difficult across the country in the aftermath of the pandemic.

(CNN Español) — El glaciar Perito Moreno es el único de la Patagonia argentina que goza de un equilibrio en el balance de su masa, una condición que actualmente está en riesgo, debido a que en dos años retrocedió más de 700 metros, según descubrió un reciente monitoreo.Frecuentes desprendimientos de témpanos de grandes dimensiones que caen de la pared norte del glaciar y una leve depresión en su fisonomía fueron los primeros indicios que advirtieron los científicos que hoy estudian si el glaciar más famoso de Argentina comenzó un proceso de retracción. En caso de confirmarse, buscan conocer si este proceso es irreversible.Lucas Ruiz, científico del Instituto Argentino de Nivología, Glaciología y Ciencias Ambientales (Ianigla) e investigador del Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (Conicet), encabezó las expediciones de medición del comportamiento del glaciar en relación con el clima.“En el 2021, cuando nosotros comenzamos con el monitoreo, observamos lo ...F1 drivers shrug off Red Bull dominance as Miami GP arrives

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Red Bull rolled into the first of Formula One’s unprecedented three stops in the United States undefeated and its challengers already waving the checkered flag on the championship. Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez have been so strong through the first four races that rival drivers have openly wondered if any other team will win a race this year. Boring? That’s the narrative that followed F1 to the Miami Grand Prix, a highly-anticipated event a year ago when it debuted now working through a bit of a hangover. With F1 races scheduled later this year for Austin, Texas, and Las Vegas, the early Red Bull dominance has created the perception that F1 will have a snoozer of a season that could dull the growing American interest. “What if you go to the cinema and after 15 minutes the movie is (crap), but the last hour-and-a-half is amazing?” asked Alpine driver Pierre Gasly. “I don’t think it’s fair to already make such a claim.
