LOS ANGELES - With coronavirus cases rising in parts of Europe and Asia, scientists worry that an extra-contagious version of the omicron variant may soon push cases up in the United States too.Experts are also keeping their eyes on another mutant: a rare delta-omicron hybrid that they say doesn't pose much of a threat right now but shows how wily the coronavirus can be.The U.S. will likely see an uptick in cases caused by the omicron descendant BA.2 starting in the next few weeks, according to Dr. Eric Topol, head of Scripps Research Translational Institute."It’s inevitable we will see a BA.2 wave here," he said.One reason?

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. - Whale watchers off the coast of Southern California had an unforgettable encounter with gray whales — one the excursion company called its "most epic" of all time. On Monday, passengers on a Newport Coastal Adventure tour boat near Newport Beach were cruising along the water at sunset when a pair of giant gray whales stopped to check out the small vessel for more than 45 minutes. Video shared by the company showed the gray whales calmly rolling, bobbing and even raising their tails out of the water next to the boat, much to the delight of the tour group. The whale watchers are also heard excitedly reacting as the curious creatures blew from their blowholes."The encounter lasted for over 45 minutes as the whales were rolling, spy hopping, and became extremely interested in our boat and passengers onboard," Jessica Roame, Newport Coastal Adventure’s education manager, said in an email, who added that this behavior is referred to as "mugging."The unique interaction happened about two miles offshore from the Newport Beach coastline, Roame said.Roame emphasized the fast raft boat’s engines were off and the boat holding 15 people was drifting during the encounter. "It’s important to stress that during this time in the year, boaters should be cautious when boating in the ocean, and keep a sharp eye out for migrating gray whales because they are on the move all along the coast right now," she said.

COVID-19 restrictions ease and many Manitobans return to the office after two years of working from home, a segment of the population might be quietly suffering from the lifestyle change — our pets.According to dog trainer Amanda Quinn, any change in routine can really throw them off, especially when they’re used to having their owners around full-time.“All of a sudden, it’s a big change just to up and leave your dog for eight hours a day,” Quinn, who works with Dumbledogs canine performance centre, told 680 CJOB’s The Start.“They don’t understand if they haven’t built up to it.” Winnipeg Animal Services overflowing with dogs looking for new homes Quinn said one way owners can help their pets acclimatize to the change in routine is to leave their dog in a kennel or a puppy-proof room for a few hours at a time, eventually building up to a full day.Many dogs, she said, are so used to being able to hang out with their working-from-home humans day in and day out that a sudden shift isn’t good for their mental health.“(People) kept the dog by their feet all day, and now they’re up and gone, and the dog is (thinking), ‘Where’s my mom? Where’s my dad?’“It causes them extreme stress, and I think that’s where a lot of people are today.”Quinn said those who aren’t comfortable leaving their pets home alone or in a kennel can always have a dog service check on them, or sign them up for doggy daycare.“Personally, I kennel my dog when they’re young, and there’s kennel games to make it a good time and a happy place.“Not everyone thinks that’s a safe place — but what if that (destroyed) garbage bag was your couch? What if that garbage bag was an electric cord? You want your dog safe.” Coronavirus — Dogs could benefit from Manitoba’s

Her sentencing is scheduled for September after Balwani's trial is complete.While Holmes was the public face of the company that falsely claimed its technology could run a complex array of tests with only a drop of blood, Balwani managed many of the company's day-to-day operations.He oversaw the testing lab and prosecutors say he was instrumental in the decision to secretly use modified third-party analyzers after the company's so-called Edison analyzers proved to be plagued with problems. The ex-lovers were indicted together, but their trials were separated after Holmes' defense team accused Balwani of abusing her and controlling her decisions at the company.Balwani's attorney's have denied he abused Holmes. His trial was set to begin in February but was pushed back as the Omicron variant of the coronavirus surged. Opening statements were again delayed last week when Judge Edward Davila said a juror was exposed to someone with the virus. AdvertisementEvan Sernoffsky is an investigative reporter for KTVU.
