ST. LOUIS - Reverend Larry Rice says he wants to reopen the New Life Evangelistic Center. It has been closed for the last six years after numerous building code violations and overcrowding at the shelter.“We want to be a church open from 8:30 to 4:30 daily, providing a wide variety of services to everyone and anyone who are homeless,” Rice said.In March 2017, the City of St. Louis revoked the shelter’s permit due to over-occupancy and building code violations. The Board of Building Appeals upheld that decision.Rice said he has spent thousands of dollars on upgrades and is asking the city to allow him to reopen the basement, first and second floors. Crews investigating fatal 3-vehicle crash in north St. Louis In the future, he said he hopes to provide internet service to help people find jobs, a free store, and showers.

The Rockies were thrown out twice at the plate Monday night. It used to be that something like that would be the death knell for them on the road.But not for these Rockies, at least not at this particular point and time.They’ve emerged from the All-Star break playing solid baseball. Their 10-6 win over Washington at Nationals Park improved their record to 6-3 since the break, including a 3-1 mark on the road.The formula: excellent work from the bullpen and timely hits, particularly home runs.Colorado utilized another bullpen game Monday night, and five pitchers, led by “opener” Jake Bird (two scoreless innings, one hit allowed) and Karl Kauffmann (one run over four-plus innings on two hits), squashed the Nats.At least until Washington scored five runs over the last two innings. Right-hander Gavin Hollowell faltered in the eighth, giving up a two-out, three-run homer to Jeimer Candelario. Hollowell walked CJ Abrams and plunked Lane Thomas to set up Candelario’...

Israeli doctors reveal Netanyahu’s chronic heart problem only after implanting pacemaker

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:21:40 GMT

JERUSALEM (AP) — After undergoing emergency surgery to implant a pacemaker, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, 73, made a video appearance from a hospital near Tel Aviv. Wearing a crisp dark suit, he grinned and declared energetically that he felt “great, as you can see.”But the Sunday photo-op failed to reassure Israelis, who were shocked to learn the same day that their longest-serving prime minister had concealed a long-known heart problem. The admission was a stark contrast to the image of a fully healthy, energetic leader that Netanyahu has gone to great lengths to bolster. A week after a fainting spell, Netanyahu was urgently fitted with a pacemaker to control his heartbeat. Only then did staff at the Sheba Medical Center reveal Sunday night that Netanyahu has for years experienced a condition that can cause irregular heartbeats.Until Sunday, the cardiologists had publicly played down concerns, saying the prime minister was dehydrated and describing his heartbeat as “c...
