The goal is to reduce opioid deaths in the state by 50 percent in five years, a campaign promise of Whitmer’s, a goal she described as “absolutely doable. It will be tough. But we are up to this challenge, and the people of our state are expecting us to meet it.” In 2018, five people a day died from opioids in the state of Michigan; 2,686 died of drug overdoses during the year, 13 percent higher than in 2017....
The results posted by Antrim County—located in the northwest of Michigan’s lower peninsula—showed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden with more than 7,700 votes, or some 3,000 more than incumbent President Donald Trump, Interlochen Public Radio reported. In 2016, Trump easily carried the county with 8,469 votes (62.4 percent) compared with Clinton’s 4,448 votes (33.2 percent). Triston Cole, a Republican who represents Antrim County in the Michigan State House, raised questions about the results to Interlochen Public Radio....
“With them not having a game and us having a game (against California last week in Australia), we asked if they would send us their scrimmage,” Hawaii coach Nick Rolovich told reporters Tuesday ( via the Detroit Free Press ). “But they wouldn’t. … So there’s a little bit of uncertainty on our side.” Michigan players have said they watched Hawaii’s nationally televised 51-31 loss to Cal.

For each condition, methotrexate works by slowing the growth of cells—including cancer cells in cancer and skin cells in psoriasis. In rheumatoid arthritis, methotrexate helps decrease the activity of the immune system. Some medications, however, can interact with methotrexate and cause adverse effects. It’s important to be mindful of these potential drug interactions to make sure you reap the benefit of the medication and keep side effects to a minimum....
Despite what seems to be a troubled development process over at Retro Studios, with development for the game completely restarting development in 2019, some fans have had their hopes up for a Metroid Prime trilogy to release on the Switch. These hopes have been largely fueled my rumors and supposed leaks, with no official announcements or hints from Nintendo or its partners, but now, some fans seem to be harassing one of the series’ former developers....
One fan in particular, Gary Palumbo, is so fed up he created a Kickstarter campaign to put up billboards in hopes of getting new owners. Palumbo hoped to raise $5,000, and he reached that goal a week before the campaign was supposed to end.

The Mets sent reliever Bobby Wahl to the Brewers along with a pair of minor leaguers, right-handed reliever Adam Hill and infielder Felix Valerio. Broxton had four home runs, 11 RBIs and a .179 batting average in 51 games for Milwaukee last season. While he stole 23 bases in 2016 and 21 the following year, he swiped just five last season. A right-handed batter, he hit 20 homers in 2017 but struck out 175 times....

“Our brother migrants should have this information so that they won’t be deceived by human traffickers, who paint a rosy picture,” he said on Thursday. A “rosy picture” of open passage at the U.S.’ southwest border hasn’t been executed by Biden yet. He has only taken initial actions to dismantle his predecessor’s immigration policies. “Now, for example, that there is a U.S. immigration policy to regularize the situation of migrants, Mexicans and our Central American brothers, people think that now the doors are open, that President Biden is going to immediately regularize all migrants,” López Obrador said....
The mind wanders for other reasons as well. Long stretches of “The Alamo” are simply dull. You can see that the screenwriters–Les Bohem, Stephen Gaghan and Hancock–were trying for something more complex and historically accurate than John Wayne’s bloated, flag-waving 1960 version. The historical figures are never drawn in simple black and white. There’s the alcoholic but tactically brilliant Sam Houston (Dennis Quaid); Davy Crockett (Billy Bob Thornton), portrayed as a man who stands at an ambivalent remove from his own legend; the debauched, charismatic James Bowie (Jason Patric), and his rival for command of the fort, William Travis (Patrick Wilson)....

The violent kidnapping attempt was nothing new in 1970s Mexico. The Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI)– already in power for four decades–was fighting off attacks from 29 scattered leftist groups numbering about 1,800 revolutionaries. But this one had a twist. The target’s brother, Jose Lopez Portillo, was about to take power as Mexico’s president. Once in office, Lopez Portillo intensified the crackdown against violent revolutionaries, the attack on his sister fresh in his mind....

You can tell from the his performances. The versatile player, who turned 30 on Monday, has essentially gone from Mexico’s left back to its right winger in this tournament. He’s done it well, helping Carlos Vela have the freedom to sit behind center forward Chicharito but also shoring up a right side that has featured either converted center back Carlos Salcedo or 20-year-old novice Edson Alvarez behind him at right back....
The permanent memorial is planned to be built near a church where people gathered for shelter and medical aid amid the shooting. Tennille Pereira, chairwoman of a Clark County committee working on plans for the memorial, said that the finished memorial could be dedicated on the fifth anniversary of the shooting next year, AP reported.

While CSK have managed one win in their six games, MI are staring at a never-achieved-before feat of seven consecutive losses to start an IPL season right in the face. A win wouldn’t help either side climb up the rankings much, but it would serve as a welcome boost to both form and morale. CSK squandered the winning position against the Gujarat Titans (GT) in their previous game. A series of tactical blunders and some miserable death bowling from Chris Jordan ensured that the Super Kings carried no momentum forward from their win over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)....
The president refuses to lead on climate change, so the rest of us must. He has refused to support the Paris Climate Agreement—even though Americans overwhelmingly do. He refused to pay America’s bill to help fund the climate summit, so my foundation did—just as we did the previous two years. On Friday, I was glad to stand in solidarity with climate activists from across the country in Alexandria, Virginia—the place where our successful national work got its start....
