Filip Gustavsson shakes off slow start to lift Wild to thrilling win over Devils

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 22:58:40 GMT

NEWARK, N.J. — Filip Gustavsson didn’t look himself on Tuesday night at the Prudential Center. He was fighting the puck and couldn’t seem to catch anything cleanly with his glove hand. His positioning in the crease proved to be his saving grace as pucks at least continued to bounce off of his pads.“I thought I played with two blockers out there today,” Gustavsson joked. “I asked (goaltending coach Freddy Chabot) if he’s found my glove yet.”As the game between the Wild and the New Jersey Devils wore on, however, Gustavsson slowly found his rhythm between the pipes. He made a few big saves to get himself going and started to look like the star goaltender he has been for the Wild all season long.In the end, Gustavsson stood on his head down the stretch to force overtime, and the Wild earned a thrilling 2-1 win as Matt Boldy scored the game-winner with 1.3 seconds left in the extra session.MATT BOLDY IS THE HERO!!!!!#MNWILD | #NHL pic.twitter.com/8Qzp...

New bill would eliminate limits on reducing old, low-level felonies to misdemeanors

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 22:58:40 GMT

Senator Lola Smallwood-Cuevas (D-Los Angeles) has introduced a bill that would eliminate the deadline to apply for reducing old low-level, non-violent felony convictions to misdemeanors. The bill would take away the limit that was approved by voters in 2014 under Proposition 47 and would enable Californians with low-level felonies to move past more than 5,000 permanent restrictions on their lives. Proposition 47 changed the penalty for simple drug possession and five petty theft related crimes from a felony to a misdemeanor. There are more than 40,000 different permanent restrictions on people with felony convictions nationwide, including restrictions on available jobs, housing and education. The bill would also ensure that those eligible to reduce an old felony on their record to a misdemeanor will have the opportunity to do so. “An old conviction on a person’s record often does not reflect the reality of who someone is and what they have accomplished,” sai...

CNBC: si tuviste COVID-19 antes de vacunarte, podrías tener menos inmunidad de lo que crees, según estudio

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 22:58:40 GMT

Las personas que contrajeron COVID-19 antes de ser vacunadas tuvieron una respuesta inmunológica más débil a las inyecciones que aquellas que nunca tuvieron el virus, lo que potencialmente las dejó menos protegidas contra la reinfección, muestra una nueva investigación. Cofinanciado por los Institutos Nacionales de Salud, el estudio publicado el lunes desafía investigaciones anteriores que sugerían que una infección anterior por COVID-19 mejoró la respuesta inmune de un individuo vacunado, un fenómeno conocido como inmunidad híbrida, que algunos científicos creen que brinda la mejor protección contra la reinfección. En el estudio, investigadores de la Universidad de Stanford analizaron cómo las células inmunitarias que se encuentran en la sangre llamadas células T CD4+ y células T CD8+ responden a la infección y vacunación por covid. Esas células trabajan juntas para producir una respuesta inmunitaria que puede ayudar a defenderse del virus, matando a otras células que han sido infe...
