Bear cub snatched from family by selfie-snapping fools is ‘thriving’ in refuge center
She’s getting her bearings. The black bear cub that was ripped from a tree by ignorant selfie-snapping fools earlier this month is “thriving” at a North Carolina animal refuge center. The orphaned bruin has spent the past two weeks recuperating at the Appalachian Wildlife Refuge under the watchful care of a dedicated team — and has even made a new friend since being torn away from its family in the wild. “Following a time to adjust to being in our care, she was introduced to another orphaned cub that arrived previously. Both cubs are thriving and doing well in care,” Savannah Trantham,...
How Rangers plan to stay sharp during layoff before facing Hurricanes
The official dates and times for the first games of Round 2 are anyone’s guess as Round 1 wraps up around the NHL, but the Rangers have established season-long habits that should benefit them while they await their second-round series against the Hurricanes. Whether it’s four, five or more days of practice, the Blueshirts will continue to foster the competitive aspects of their on-ice sessions that have kept them game ready on a day-to-day basis. “I think we approach it how we’ve approached every practice,” Braden Schneider said after the Rangers returned to the ice Wednesday morning following two days off in...
Chili’s and Applebee’s woo inflation-weary diners as fast food prices continue to climb
It’s a soar point. Fast food lovers have been watching helplessly as the price of a burger and fries climbs ever higher — combo quaffers in NYC are now paying as much as $13.89 plus tax for a Big Mac pack, not to mention a whopping $13.99 for a Whopper meal at some local Burger King locations. Are they looking for their fix at the wrong restaurant chains? Chili’s seems to think so. The Dallas-based home of the baby back (baby back, baby back, baby back) rib may traditionally have been considered a pricier sit-down upgrade over the usual quick and...
Ryan Garcia tested positive for PED before his win over Devin Haney
Boxer Ryan Garcia is at the center of another controversy after multiple reports have indicated that he tested positive for the performance-enhancing substance Ostarine prior to and on the day of his win over Devin Haney in April at Barclays Center. The tests were taken by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association before the fight, but the results weren’t known until later, ESPN reported. Garcia can request his B-sample be tested within 10 days, but the revelation from the test throws his majority decision victory over Haney into question. Additionally, Garcia’s A-sample tested positive for 19-Norandrosterone, but that is unconfirmed until more analysis is done,...
Unruly United passenger must pay $20K for diverting Newark-bound flight, threatening to ‘mess up plane’
An unruly and “physically aggressive” passenger aboard a United Airlines flight has been ordered to pay the company more than $20,000 after his behavior forced the pilot to divert the Newark-bound plane to Maine. Alexander Michael Dominic MacDonald, of England, must fork over $20,638 in restitution to United for the March 1 incident in which he threatened to “mess up the plane,” a federal judge ruled last Thursday. The 30-year-old, who has been in custody since his in-air outburst, was also sentenced to time served and will be sent back to the UK by US Immigration officers, according to the sentencing...
Yankees’ DJ LeMahieu closing in on resuming baseball activities — again
BALTIMORE — Wednesday marked one week since DJ LeMahieu was shut down for at least a week to receive treatment on his non-displaced foot fracture. While the Yankees veteran infielder has not resumed baseball activities just yet, that could be coming soon. “Not yet, but I know today he came in ‘feeling great,’ ” manager Aaron Boone said before the Yankees’ 2-0 win over the Orioles on Wednesday night at Camden Yards. “Are we at a week? So I’m sure I’ll get on the report here today or [Thursday] that that’s probably starting to happen.” The 35-year-old LeMahieu had started a rehab assignment...
Trump to address ‘Libertarian Party concerns’ at group’s national convention
Former President Donald Trump will address “Libertarian Party concerns” later this month at the group’s national convention in Washington, DC, the party announced Wednesday. “Libertarians are some of the most independent and thoughtful thinkers in our Country, and I am honored to join them,” Trump, 77, said in a statement. The Libertarian Party’s unprecedented decision to give the presumptive Republican nominee for president a platform at the third-party group’s 2024 nominating convention will allow Trump to court voters beyond his GOP base. “We all have to remember that our goal is to defeat the Worst President in the History of the United States,...
Kristaps Porzingis could miss Celtics’ second-round series as injury lingers
The Celtics rolled into the second round of the NBA playoffs, as expected, but they might have to play that series without a key piece. Kristaps Porzingis, who is dealing with a calf strain, missed the Celtics’ 118-84 series-ending Game 5 victory over the Heat and could now miss the team’s second-round series, according to TNT’s Chris Haynes. On Tuesday, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported Porzingis was “expected to miss a minimum of several games.” Heat vs. Celtics Game 5 prediction: NBA playoffs odds, picks, best bets Porzingis, 28, hurt himself in Game 4, sustaining the non-contact injury in the second quarter, as he...
Mets’ Carlos Mendoza goes ballistic on umpire over ‘bulls–t’ controversial game-ending call
Carlos Mendoza was furious over the call that ended Wednesday night’s Mets game at Citi Field, which ended in a 1-0 loss to the Cubs. Pete Alonso was thrown out trying to tag up to score a run that would have tied the game on a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth, but a relay throw reached Cubs catcher Miguel Amaya just as Alonso was sliding in. Ex-Mets prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong gets clutch RBI to propel Cubs It looked as if Alonso had been able to sneak his hand in just he was tagged. But home plate umpire Charlie Ramos called Alonso...
Mets lose heartbreaker to Cubs after controversial play at plate for final out: ‘Wrong call’
For eight innings, the Mets grew frustrated with bats that would not awaken. For the final inning, the frustration was redirected to a ruling from the MLB Replay Center that “cost us a game,” manager Carlos Mendoza said. Pete Alonso was thrown out at the plate in a chaotic finish to a 1-0 loss to the Cubs on Wednesday at Citi Field, where 22,485 fans, one manager and one clubhouse were upset at the league’s interpretation of what constitutes blocking the plate. MLB teams were sent memos, pictures included, this spring concerning the league’s push to enforce base obstruction. Those memos, Mendoza said,...
Jim Palmer goes scorched earth on umpire over horrific strikeout call: ‘Shouldn’t be umpiring’
MASN broadcaster Jim Palmer won’t be on umpire C.B. Bucknor’s Christmas card list any time soon. Not after the former Baltimore star pitcher tore into the MLB ump during the Orioles’ 4-2 win over the Yankees on Tuesday night at Camden Yards. Palmer, a Hall of Fame pitcher, is not a fan of the officiating styles of Bucknor and that only intensified during the first inning of the second game of a four-game set between the AL East rivals when Yanks pitcher Nestor Cortes threw a low pitch that was called a strike. The low strike three call on Gunnar Henderson set Palmer...

Anti-Israel UCLA protesters request shields, helmets, vegan and gluten-free donations after violent campus clash
The anti-Israel protesters hunkered down on the grounds of the University of California, Los Angeles put out a bizarre list of requested donations Wednesday — with some “urgent” items that seemingly indicate the mob is preparing for battle. Skater helmets, shields, wood for barriers and elbow and knee pads were among the much-needed tools requested by the school’s Students for Justice in Palestine to sustain its so-called UCLA Palestine Solidarity Encampment. The mini-tent city — which erupted in chaos Tuesday night when agitators tried to infiltrate the grounds — also asked for a medical stockpile, food and sleeping bags in a Google...
Luis Gil’s career-best night lifts Yankees to win over Orioles
BALTIMORE — One way to combat the Yankees only scoring two runs? Not giving any up. Luis Gil made that look easy Wednesday night, turning in the best start of his young career by shutting down the Orioles and lifting the Yankees to a 2-0 win at Camden Yards. Gil pitched into the seventh inning for the first time in his big league career, throwing 6 ¹/₃ scoreless innings and giving up just two singles and a walk while striking out five. The 25-year-old right-hander outdueled former NL Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes, making Oswaldo Cabrera’s two-run home run in the fifth inning...
NYC’s ‘worst landlord’ indicted for tenant harassment weeks after being jailed over building violations
The Big Apple’s so-called “worst landlord” Daniel Ohebshalom has been indicted for allegedly harassing rent-regulated tenants with “unlivable” conditions to drive them out of units so he could sell the buildings to make a buck, prosecutors said. The latest legal trouble for Ohebshalom came barely a month after he was locked up over hundreds of violations at just two of his Manhattan properties. He was charged Wednesday by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg over a pattern of alleged tenant abuse dating back years — which consisted of forgoing maintenance until units fell apart, withholding heat and hot water during...
Derek Harper, Greg Anthony know firsthand how ‘difficult’ Knicks’ task is after painful loss
The memories came flooding back for Derek Harper. The frustration. The anguish. The heartbreak. Harper was in Los Angeles preparing to work Game 5 of the Clippers-Mavericks opening-round series as Game 5 of the Knicks-76ers series was unfolding. As Tyrese Maxey forced overtime with seven of his 46 points in the final 25.1 seconds of regulation and the Knicks failed to close it out in overtime, Harper couldn’t help but think back to May 7, 1995, the day Reggie Miller scored eight points in 8.9 seconds. “It was all negative thoughts, really surreal going over it again,” the former Knicks point guard recalled...
Rangers-Hurricanes a familiar rivalry with plenty of new twists
The only reason why the Rangers’ upcoming second-round series against the Hurricanes headlines as a rematch of their 2022 clash is because of the roster similarities. Otherwise, the two years that have passed offer up a much different matchup. One that can’t be compared to the Blueshirts’ seven-game triumph two seasons ago, which unfolded under different circumstances and resulted in the club’s first trip to the Eastern Conference final since 2015. This time around it is a guaranteed postseason spectacle between the two Metropolitan Division powerhouses. Two clubs who are well into a tug-of-war for conference supremacy that is expected to continue for...
Gerrit Cole not throwing off mound yet as Yankees take it slow with ace
BALTIMORE — The Yankees’ daily Gerrit Cole updates have all been positive lately as he continues to work through his throwing progression. While the team has been adamant about not putting a timetable on when the reigning AL Cy Young winner might return from the elbow nerve inflammation and edema that he experienced midway through spring training, the calendar flipped to May on Wednesday and Cole has still not advanced to throwing off a mound. That could happen as soon as this weekend, when the team returns home from a seven-game road trip, but even if that is the case, it has...

Jevon Porter was arrested on suspicion of DWI at 1:31 a.m. on April 27 in Boone County, Missouri, per Missouri State Highway Patrol records. Porter, 20, was released on a summons.
