Jake Allmendinger, 31, a deputy at the Gallatin County Sheriff’s office and a father-of-three, died on Saturday night after attending the call in the Bridger Mountains on Fairy Lake Road. He and partner Deputy Ryan Jern responded to the call at roughly 6 p.m., but before arriving, their Chevy Tahoe started to slide backwards on the icy road. It was then that Allmendinger left the vehicle—presumably in an effort to stop the vehicle, although this was not confirmed—before he was dragged under the chassis of the large 5,000-pound car....

Madrid move top thanks to late Morata strike It was something that had looked likely after Karim Benzema scored the opener after only seven minutes, but this was another poor performance from Los Blancos and there were jeers from the home fans at halftime with the scores level at 1-1. There had been chances prior to the interval for both Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, but Sabin Merino had taken advantage of some dreadful defending at the other end and the match was very much in the balance....

According to a new study published in the Obstetrics & Gynecology Green Journal, the number of emergency room visits women made for fibroids jumped from 28,732 in 2006 to 65,685 in 2017. While the research found that the number of ER visits increased, the admission rate for people with fibroids in 2017 decreased to 11.1% from 23.9% in 2006. The researchers say that this decline in hospital admissions suggests that the visits for fibroids could have been addressed in an alternative, non-emergency setting....

Commitment-phobic good-time girl Christina Walters (Diaz) is thrown off her stride when she falls for the charming Peter (Thomas Jane) at a club. “The Sweetest Thing” shows some charm initially, but the minute Christina and her pal Courtney (Applegate) hit the road in pursuit of Peter, director Roger (“Cruel Intentions”) Kumble’s movie abandons all sense for scatology, maggots and strained, amateurishly executed slapstick about urinals and oral sex. The movie is R-rated, which means that those who might laugh at these jokes will have to sneak in....

Coronavirus cases have been on a downward trend since its peak last month due to the Omicron variant, with data from Reuters showing that the number of cases is only 9 percent of the amount recorded on January 14.

Unfortunately, with legal, language, and recertification barriers cited as common constraints, these individuals often struggle to access the labor market. In a report released last year, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees highlighted the importance of “employment and employability to successful integration” into the society of the host country. For refugees, “successful economic adjustment remains one of the most pressing challenges,” the report said. That said, with President Joe Biden’s commitments to welcome an additional 75,000 Afghan and 100,000 Ukrainian refugees, the United States is in increasing need of programs to connect newcomers with stable, well-paying jobs....

Since the outbreak began, there have been over 524,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the U.S., according to a tracker maintained by Johns Hopkins University. President Donald Trump warned that this week and potentially next will be particularly tough and it’s possible–according to the most recent projections from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME)–that 60,415 people could die from COVID-19 by August 4. Every death is more than a statistic–it’s a face, as New York Governor Andrew Cuomo phrased it, and 60,000 people is still a significant loss of life....

The new survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) is the first to identify gender differences in seeking care during the pandemic, as well as highlight the many nuances to the disparity....

Zidane and his men head to the Principality Stadium to face Juventus on Saturday as defending champions and newly-crowned La Liga kings. One of Madrid’s favourite sons has been instrumental in dethroning Barcelona and putting the club on the verge of becoming the first in history to retain the European crown in its current format.

Two major explosions erupted at Iran’s nuclear plant Natanz in July 2020 and most recently in April, Iran blamed Israel for the incidents. When Mossad’s outgoing chief Yossi Cohen was asked by the interviewer where he would take them if they could travel to Iran’s nuclear facility, Cohen said “to the cellar” where “the centrifuges used to spin.” “It doesn’t look like it used to look,” Cohen said in an indication that Israel could potentially be behind the attacks but he did not outright confirm it....

The relaxed rules for indoor venues and schools come as COVID-19 cases in the United States dropped significantly since peaking earlier in the winter during the Omicron surge. But the CBS News-YouGov poll found that most Americans still support mask requirements for indoor venues. In total, 56 percent of respondents said they believe their states should have mask mandates in place....
