(CNN Español) — La Federación Mexicana de Fútbol (FMF) anunció este lunes que Diego Cocca deja de ser el entrenador de la selección mayor masculina de México, en un proceso que apenas duró unos meses. Asimismo, se anunció la salida de su cuerpo técnico y de un alto dirigente de la FMF.La decisión de la FMF —dada a conocer por su presidente, Juan Carlos Rodríguez Bas, en un video en redes sociales— ocurre luego de que la selección mexicana perdiera la semifinal de la Nations League 2022/2023 de la Concacaf ante Estados Unidos el jueves y tras ganar 1-0 a Panamá en el partido por el tercer lugar de esta competencia.La derrota contra Estados Unidos acrecentó la reciente crisis de la selección mexicana mayor, que viene de un fracaso en el Mundial de Qatar 2022 (no pasó de la fase de grupos por primera vez en décadas) y que no le gana a EE.UU. desde 2019.Tras la Nations League, México tiene el compromiso de disputar la Copa Oro de la Concacaf, en donde debuta el domingo 26 de junio...

Opinion: Homeless people deserve the same right to their belongings that we all have

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:17:05 GMT

By: Nicholas Blomley, Simon Fraser UniversityMost of us take our belongings for granted. It’s only when we mislay or lose them that we reflect on their value. Our stuff is not only useful, it also holds our memories and identities. It connects us to others.For most of us, thankfully, permanent loss is unusual. We assume that our belongings will be with us. This is because we have control over them, and the spaces we keep them in, like our homes.But many people struggling with homelessness don’t have such a secure relationship with their possessions. Homeless people in cities like Vancouver, Toronto, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C, San Francisco and elsewhere are frequently uprooted, brutalized by authorities and have their belongings confiscated.Incidents that make it into the news are not one-off events. Rather, they’re part of a system that results in homeless people’s belongings constantly being taken from them, legally and illegally, by private and government officials.Those of us...

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez vocalizes vision for presidency following campaign announcement

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:17:05 GMT

Miami’s Mayor Francis Suarez officially declared his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election last week and has since been actively promoting his platform, focusing on key issues that he believes make him a suitable candidate for the highest office in the land.In an interview with 7News Monday afternoon, the 45-year-old discussed his vision for the country and outlined his primary concerns, which include the national deficit, immigration, and the United States’ relationship with China.

Loneliness and social isolation linked with a higher risk of early death, study finds

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:17:05 GMT

(CNN) — If you’re lonely or socially isolated, you might have a higher risk of early death, according to a large new study.There have been many studies on the associations between social isolation, loneliness and the risk of dying early, but some results have been controversial or mixed, according to the paper published Monday in the journal Nature Human Behaviour. Those conflicting results could be due to research only focusing on a specific group or region, said Turhan Canli, a professor at Stony Brook University in New York state. Canli wasn’t involved in the study.The new paper, however, is a meta-analysis of 90 studies that had examined the links between loneliness, social isolation and early death among more than 2 million adults. Study participants were followed for anywhere from six months to 25 years.People who experienced social isolation had a 32% higher risk of dying early from any cause compared with those who weren’t socially isolated. Participants who report...

Jonathan Eig wrote ‘King: A Life’ about Martin Luther King Jr. — the man this time, instead of the myth

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:17:05 GMT

Christopher Borrelli | Chicago Tribune (TNS)CHICAGO — The air-conditioned tour bus with tinted windows stopped outside Bright Star Baptist Church in Bronzeville and out came several dozen congregants from the Anshe Emet Synagogue of Lakeview. They moved slowly up the sidewalk and concrete steps of the church. Before anyone reached the doors, welcomes erupted, like the clamor from a surprise party. “I assume you’re here for Jonathan Eig?” a Bright Star parishioner asked.“That’s right, and all this,” a grinning elderly woman said, waving at the growing line queuing up behind her to get in, “is what you would call the Jonathan Eig Fan Club.”They laughed.You would also call this a decent part of the congregation at Eig’s synagogue. They came here the other day because the North Side resident and acclaimed biographer was about to publish “King: A Life,” the first major biography of Martin Luther King Jr. in 40 years. Bright Star and Anshe Emet have had a kind of sister-congregation...

Obi Toppin is worth monitoring during trade season

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:17:05 GMT

The clock is starting in earnest on Obi Toppin.The power forward has wowed fans with his electric dunks, but remains on the end of any rotation featuring Julius Randle, leaving Toppin as one of the main Knicks to monitor as trade season approaches.Toppin, the eighth overall pick in 2020, is eligible for a contract extension before the season. If the sides don’t reach an agreement by the October deadline, Toppin becomes a restricted free agent next summer.Then the Knicks risk losing him for nothing, or a lot less than what could be retrieved in a trade before that point.It wouldn’t make sense for either side to sign a new contract as long as Toppin is Randle’s backup. With Randle’s workload consistently high, Toppin’s averages in minutes (15.7), points (7.4), rebounds (2.8), assists (1.0) and field-goal percentage (44.6%) all fell last season. On offense, the 25-year-old became more of a spot-up 3-point shooter with the reserves. A source said Toppin was...

When I retire next month and go on Medicare, what are our options for getting her health coverage until she turns 65? Is there some kind of Medicare coverage for dependent spouses?Need InsuranceDear Need,Unfortunately, Medicare does not provide family coverage to younger spouses or dependent children when you qualify for Medicare.
