No. 20 Tulane seeks its 8th straight win when it hosts desperate Tulsa

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 13:34:33 GMT

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Living dangerously has become a habit lately for No. 20 Tulane.The Green Wave’s last three victories have come by 12 points combined despite being double-digit favorites in each game. Those results aren’t necessarily ideal for a team trying to defend its American Athletic Conference title and return to a second straight major New Year’s Day bowl game. But it was hardly cause for panic as the Tulane (8-1, 5-0 AAC, No. 23 CFP) prepared to host struggling, but desperate, Tulsa (3-6, 1-4) on Saturday.“We’d like to play our very best,” Tulane coach Willie Fritz said. “But, like I told our guys, a win is big, especially at this time of year, and we’ll take it.“It’s a hell of a lot better than a pretty loss,” Fritz added.Relatively speaking, Tulane’s football program is in the midst of a golden era. The Green Wave have won 20 of their past 23 games, including a landmark victory over USC in last season’s Cotton Bowl.That run of form compares ...

Vatican steps closer to allowing transgender people to be baptized as Catholics

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 13:34:33 GMT

In the United States, the national conference of Catholic bishops rejects the concept of gender transition, leaving many transgender Catholics feeling excluded. On Wednesday, the Vatican made public a sharply contrasting statement, saying it’s permissible, under certain circumstances, for trans people to be baptized as Catholics and serve as godparents.“It is a major step for trans inclusion … it is big and good news,” said Francis DeBernardo, executive director of Maryland-based New Ways Ministry, which advocates for greater LGBTQ acceptance in the church.The document was signed Oct. 21 by Pope Francis and Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, who heads the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. It was posted Wednesday on that office’s website.If it did not cause scandal or “disorientation” among other Catholics, a transgender person “may receive baptism under the same conditions as other faithful,” the document said.Similarly, the document said trans adults — even if...

Vikings begin transition of bringing Jefferson back; he’ll wait to play until he’s fully healed

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 13:34:33 GMT

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Justin Jefferson has resumed practicing with the Minnesota Vikings this week, a significant step toward his return to the field from a hamstring strain that caused the first absence of his stellar career.In some ways for the Vikings, it’s as if he never left.The 2022 AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year has been a constant and energetic presence on the sideline during games and in the building for meetings and walk-throughs throughout the week. The Vikings, coincidentally, have won all four games without him.“I’m just happy to be a part of this organization with so many people helping me out on and off the field,” Jefferson said. “I’m just happy that I can continue to be that leader on the team, where you can’t say that I’m just sitting at home and worrying about trying to get back. I want to be there supporting my teammates and be in there hands-on.”It’s not unusual for players on injured reserve with longer-term rehabs to largely disappear from...

Alaska judge upholds Biden administration’s approval of the massive Willow oil-drilling project

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 13:34:33 GMT

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — A federal judge on Thursday upheld the Biden administration’s approval of the Willow oil-drilling project on Alaska’s remote North Slope, a massive project that drew the ire of environmentalists who accused the president of backpedaling on his pledge to combat climate change.U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Gleason rejected calls made by a grassroots Iñupiat group and environmentalists to vacate the approval and dismissed their claims.Those groups raised concerns about planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from Willow and argued that federal agencies failed to consider how increased emissions from the project could affect ice-reliant species such as the polar bear, Arctic ringed seals and bearded seals, which already are experiencing disruptions due to climate change.The decision can be appealed.The project, located in the federally designated National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, has widespread political support in the state. But climate activists say allowing ...

Stock market today: Wall Street falls after the bond market cranks up the pressure again

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 13:34:33 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell Thursday to break one of Wall Street’s longest winning streaks in two decades after the pressure cranked higher from the bond market.The S&P 500 sank 35.43 points, or 0.8%, to 4,347.35. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 220.33, or 0.6%, to 33,891.94, and the Nasdaq composite lost 128.97, or 0.9%, to 13,521.45.Stocks had been higher earlier in the day, and the S&P 500 was on track for a ninth straight gain, which would have been its longest winning streak in 19 years. But the stock market quickly sagged under the weight of rising yields in the bond market. Treasury yields rose in the morning after a report suggested the U.S. job market remains remarkably solid. They climbed further when the U.S. government announced the results of a sale of $24 billion in Treasury bonds. And then they spurted higher after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the Fed “will not hesitate” to raise interest rates further if it feels high inflation is not ful...
