Radon, a toxic gas that often lurks in basements, is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the US. 7 Investigates recently found rainfall hitting New England is making the threat posed by radon even worse.“My situation could be anyone’s situation,” said Lindi Campbell, a lung cancer survivor.Campbell was stunned when she found out her childhood bedroom in her parent’s basement may have made her sick.  “We played down there,” she said. “We watched TV down there.”Years after moving out, Campbell was diagnosed with lung cancer. She had never smoked.She had the bedroom tested for radon, a naturally occurring odorless and colorless gas that forms when uranium in rock and soil break down. The gas seeps into the lower levels of homes through foundations.“That exact room tested 21.6 picocuries which is the toxicity level equivalent to smoking 40 cigarettes a day,” Campbell said.7 Investigates found one in four Massachusetts homes has high radon levels.Experts...

Senate unveils stopgap bill in bid to avert shutdown, setting up showdown with the House

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:27:17 GMT

(CNN) — With just days to go before the government runs out of money, the Senate has unveiled a bipartisan stopgap bill in a bid to avert a shutdown – but there’s no guarantee that it will be able to pass in the House.The release of the Senate bill, which was negotiated on a bipartisan basis, sets up a stark contrast – and a showdown – with the House, where the Republican majority faces deep divisions and the demands of hardline conservatives have been highly influential in driving the agenda as a shutdown looms.The two chambers are now on a collision course as the House voted Tuesday night to advance a package of appropriations bill that are dead on arrival in the Senate and would not avert a government shutdown.House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has little room to maneuver with only a narrow majority. Hardline conservatives have railed against the prospect of a short-term funding extension and many oppose additional aid to Ukraine, two major obstacles to finding...

Everyone’s always showing me a lot of love and respect and especially when it’s your hometown and where you grew up, it obviously means a ton, if not a little bit more so.“I‘ve been so grateful to play for the fan bases in ge...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:27:17 GMT

Kyle Bradish isn’t viewed as an American League Cy Young candidate, but he pitched like one Tuesday.Gunnar Henderson, meanwhile, is the AL Rookie of the Year front-runner, and he hit like it Tuesday.Bradish twirled eight shutout innings, Henderson hit a leadoff home run and the Orioles held on to beat the Washington Nationals, 1-0, and lower their magic number to win the AL East to two.The shutout victory at Camden Yards over the local foe was the third in as many games this season.

In the early days of the commercial sports autograph boom, a fellow Hall of Famer sidled up to him and told him that he was signing way too many free autographs, which was lowering his value on the memorabilia circuit.Brooks just went on signing. He didn’t have anything against making a few dollars off his signature, but he clearly did have something against saying no to anyone who met him on the street and wanted it.That’s why just about every self-respecting Orioles fan has one and remembers the time and place when Brooksie flashed his homespun Brooksie smile and said “Sure, kid” — just like the guy in that famous Norman Rockwell painting.Robinson died Tuesday, his family said in a joint statement with the Orioles.
