NFL legend Deion Sanders -- or "Coach Prime," as commentators have taken to calling him -- was hired to revive the flagging fortunes of the University of Colorado Buffaloes football team. It started off well enough in 2023, with a bevy of players that Sanders had imported from other schools...

So, positive takeaways from Kamala Harris' first sit-down interview since becoming the de facto Democratic presidential nominee: She didn't barf on herself. Always a plus. Also, to be fair, there were no rambling computer loops about being unburdened by the past, no moments where she falsely claimed she visited the...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued an alert regarding Oropouche Virus Disease, also known as ‘sloth fever.’ “#Oropouche, a virus spread by infected biting midges & some mosquitoes, was identified in 21 U.S. travelers who recently traveled to Cuba. Clinicians should be aware of travel-associated cases & how to request testing for suspected cases,” the CDC wrote.

Recent reports of outbreaks in areas without previous endemic transmission, fatal cases, and vertical transmission associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes have raised concerns about human health risks. What is added by this report? As of August 16, 2024, a total of 21 Oropouche virus disease cases among U.S. travelers returning from Cuba have been reported. Most patients had self-limited illness. At least three patients experienced recurrent symptoms after resolution of the initial illness. What are the implications for public health practice? Clinicians and public health jurisdictions should be aware of the occurrence of Oropouche virus disease in U.S. travelers and request testing for suspected cases. Travelers should prevent insect bites when traveling, and pregnant persons should consider deferring travel to areas experiencing outbreaks of Oropouche virus disease. Some X users scoffed at the CDC’s alert, saying it’s the latest illness for the public health agency to fearmonger. BEWARE: SLOTH FEVER!

The disease is spread primarily through bites from midges and from some mosquitoes. Symptoms of the disease include headache, fever and muscle aches and joint pains, but the virus is rarely fatal. There is no indication that the virus is spreading in the U.S. but health officials are warning doctors to be on the lookout for infection in travelers coming from Cuba and South America. Most patients returning from Cuba reported their symptoms between May and July. Overall, three patients were hospitalized, and no deaths were reported, the CDC said in its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. A dire economic crisis in Cuba has made it difficult to control the spread of Oropouche. Frequent power outages mean many sleep with windows open during the hot Caribbean summer. Few Cubans have access to insect repellents, and fumigation efforts have been stymied by fuel shortages.

Foot Locker announced it will relocate its headquarters from New York to Florida. The footwear retailer and Fortune 500 company will call St. Petersburg home by late 2025. The company said the move would “enable increased collaboration among teams across banners and functions, while also reducing costs,” Fox Business reports. Foot Locker is lacing up and leaving New York. Corporate headquarters will move to St. Petersburg, Florida in 2025, according to the firm's 2Q earnings release pic.twitter.com/lfGlObF5x0 — Oshrat Carmiel (@OshratCarmiel) August 29, 2024 Fox Business reports: The retailer already has a “very meaningful commercial and executive team presence” in St. Petersburg, according to CEO Mary Dillon. The company won’t be requiring relocation for workers, she told analysts and investors. “Historically, that was originally the headquarters of Champs Sporting Goods,” Dillon also told analysts and investors. “We have a large concentration of folks there already, and we think it’s a great place for us to continue to grow and do business and continue to attract top talent.” Meanwhile, Foot Locker’s corporate presence in New York City will be “limited” in the future. Dillon said the HQ relocation to the Sunshine State was “going to continue to give us better opportunities, both for further collaboration across the business and there’s some financial benefits over time as well.” Foot Locker ditching NYC for St. Petersburg, Florida to cut high costs: ‘Efficiencies’ https://t.co/Pvkf15pjA0 pic.twitter.com/KVEQhnJ6JC — New York Post Metro (@nypmetro) August 29, 2024 Another exit: Foot Locker to relocate headquarters from New York to Floridahttps://t.co/j0Y5OdtZlM — FOX Business (@FoxBusiness) August 30, 2024 Per St. Pete Rising: As part of the move, Foot Locker will also open a Global Technology Services (GTS) Hub in Dallas, Texas to “accelerate technology delivery and cross-functional collaboration,” according to the company. The announcement ends yearslong speculation over whether the company would move to St. Petersburg. The retailer was rumored to be eyeing a move to the Sunshine City in 2021 when the St. Petersburg City Council approved $475,000 in financial incentives for an unnamed Fortune 500 company dubbed Project Athena. To receive the incentives, the company would need to bring 300 new jobs to St. Petersburg and pay an average wage above $120,000 per year.
