WVU baseball to face in-state rival Marshall

West Virginia baseball is expected to face Marshall today with first pitch set for 6 p.m. at Jack Cook Field in Huntington. The game is expected to be streamed on ESPN+. The use of the word expected is on purpose because this is the second time this season that WVU was scheduled to play the Thundering Herd. On March 4, the Mountaineers were supposed to face their in-state rival, but that was canceled due to the weather. This isn’t a makeup of that game, and the weather could be a factor again with rain in the forecast. But if the game does get played, it should be an exciting ...

Stocks rally as Trump hints end to war

NEW YORK (AP) — A cautious relief flowed through financial markets Monday after President Donald Trump said the U.S. has talked with Iran about a possible end to their war. Oil prices eased, and stock prices jumped on Wall Street following severe losses taken elsewhere in the world before Trump’s announcement. The price for a barrel of Brent crude fell 10.9% to settle at $99.94, down from nearly $120 at one point last week, after Trump said the United States and Iran held productive talks the last two days “regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the ...

When a friend’s ‘help’ feels like a put-down

Dear Annie: I’m having a problem that feels small, but it’s starting to make me dread seeing someone I care about. One of my closest friends has gotten into the habit of “correcting” me in public. If I tell a story, she interrupts to adjust a detail. If I mention a restaurant, she jumps in with the exact neighborhood and the chef’s name. If I pronounce a word slightly wrong, she repeats it back the right way with a smile that’s supposed to be playful. At first, I brushed it off. She’s smart and she has always been a little particular. But lately, it feels constant, and ...

It’s like trying to throw and catch with the same hand at the same time. It takes patience to stay ready to “catch” until you’ve learned. Once you learn, you’ll have something relevant to “throw.” ARIES (March 21-April 19). The secret to keeping your brightness is not filling every hour with responsibility. You need time to explore, to play, to follow a random curiosity just because ...

Hints From Heloise

Consuming psyllium-husk fiber Dear Heloise: Some readers prefer fiber pills, but I like to take a different route. I am 75 and have been taking psyllium-husk fiber for about 15 years to start my day. Each morning, I put 2 scoops of psyllium into a blender with 2 cups of low-sugar diet fruit juice, plus fresh fruit like berries or a banana. Sometimes I even add a little tofu for protein. I blend everything well and drink it right away. Psyllium thickens quickly, so don’t let it sit in the glass. Also, take care when swallowing because thick fiber can stick in your throat if you sip ...
