LOS ANGELES (AP) — Health officials in Southern California are warning people to avoid eating raw oysters from parts of Mexico after more than 200 people recently fell ill with suspected cases of norovirus. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has reported more than 150 suspected cases of gastrointestinal illness linked to raw oysters, while in San Diego County, health officials said Thursday that they had 69 confirmed and probable cases. That was based, at least in part, on the findings of an investigation conducted by San Diego County health officials. The California Department of Public Health warned consumers that raw oysters harvested from those locations may be contaminated with the norovirus, which can cause diarrhea, vomiting, nausea and stomach pain. The norovirus cases included both restaurant patrons and consumers who bought oysters at shops and ate them at home.

ESTERO, Fla. (AP) — If one was to break down Florida Gulf Coast’s scoring so far this season by position, this would be the mathematics:— 0% from guards. The Eagles have 16 players on their roster, and every one of them is listed at the same position: shooter. Some may seem like guards, some may have post moves like forwards or centers, but the Eagles just classify everyone the same way. There have been seven instances in Division I women's basketball history where a team finished a season with at least 393 made 3's. “And then we were like, ‘We’ll just put shooter.’ Most of our kids are really good shooters and for other kids, it’s aspirational.

Milei will take office on Dec. 10 after beating ruling Peronist coalition Economy Minister Sergio Massa.

☆ Wealthy buyers are flocking to Florida to rebuild mansions where modest homes were destroyed by hurricanes

Rich buyers have the funds to rebuild mansions that are more likely to survive future storms. Fort Myers Beach, Florida, has seen an influx of new buyers following Hurricane Ian last year. The storm killed 21 people and washed away a third of the homes and businesses located on the skinny sand strip that makes up Fort Myers Beach, many of which were modest, middle-class homes. Candy Rahn, 69, told the outlet she and her husband were forced out of Fort Myers after Ian when her uninsured cottage was destroyed. The wealthy companies and people who swoop in to buy up empty lots in Fort Myers Beach are in some ways helping disaster survivors by padding their pockets with thousands of dollars.

Sara Gardiol, president of the Confederation of Rural Associations of farm province Santa Fe, said that statements from both appeared to be little more than empty words. "It is a very difficult moment for Argentina, but critical situations can also provide opportunities," he said. "I hope that this opportunity allows us to recalibrate things, to talk with the different actors, but also to make sure things are clear and concrete."

Presidential candidate for La Libertad Avanza Javier Milei looks on during a presidential debate on October 01, 2023 in Santiago del Estero, Argentina. Argentine dollar-denominated bonds were broadly lower Monday after the country's presidential election threw up another surprise result and spelled more uncertainty ahead. Economy Minister Sergio Massa of the ruling Peronist coalition took 36.6% of Sunday's first-round vote, ahead of radical libertarian Javier Milei on 30%, while center-right candidate Patricia Bullrich received 23.8%. It means Massa and Milei will now go head-to-head in a run-off vote on Nov. 19. Financial stocks opened lower before trimming losses, while U.S.-listed stocks of Argentine firms including argicultural business Cresud were lower.

[1/3] Argentina Presidential candidate Sergio Massa of Union por la Patria party attends the presidential debate ahead of the October 22 general elections, at the National University of Santiago del Estero, in Santiago del Estero, Argentina October 1, 2023. Under Argentine law, two mandatory debates have to be held before the 22 October presidential election, where Argentine voters will be presented with radically different visions for the future. With growing skepticism among voters, the debate on economy, education, human rights and "democratic coexistence" took place with a pre-established format and strict rules that allowed little time for candidates to elaborate their points. On education, all candidates supported public education and on human rights they maintained their differences on the recent history of Argentina. The second debate addressing security, work and "human development, housing and environmental protection" will be held next Sunday in Buenos Aires.

Jan 19 (Reuters) - A U.S. labor board official is seeking a rare order requiring Starbucks Corp (SBUX.O) to collectively bargain with workers at a Florida store, even after they voted against unionizing by a nearly two-to-one margin. Workers at the Estero, Florida store voted 21-11 in May against forming a union amid a nationwide organizing campaign that has involved hundreds of Starbucks locations. The campaign, Starbucks Workers United, has won elections at more than 260 U.S. stores and has lost about 70 elections since late 2021. The regional director is asking the board to issue a "bargaining order" forcing Starbucks to recognize and bargain with the union at the Estero store. Starbucks is facing similar claims in a pending case involving a Buffalo, New York store where workers voted against unionizing in 2021.
