Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:57:51 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is investigating a 22-state salmonella outbreak that has infected people.So far, 15 people have been hospitalized and no deaths have been reported. CDC interviews with sick people and traceback data show that onions processed at Gills Onions may be the source of the outbreak. Gills voluntarily issued a recall of its bagged, precut onions at the center of the investigation. The recalled items include diced yellow onions, diced celery and onions, diced mirepoix, and diced red onions. RECALL: Kroger bagged collard greens may have listeria contamination The products recalled had use-by dates in August 2023, so they are no longer for sale in stores.

The way in which his bank account will expand soon has not hit Jaden McDaniels quite yet.Perhaps that’s why he celebrated the signing of his five-year, $131 million contract extension this week with a meal at Olive Garden — no offense to the affordable Italian restaurant chain.“It’s a life-changing thing,” McDaniels said. “It’s a huge number, as big a number as I’ve ever seen. I’m happy to have it.”McDaniels’ representation and the Timberwolves came to terms on the deal hours ahead of the NBA’s extension deadline Monday.

Wild let top line find its own mojo

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:57:51 GMT

When Wild coach Dean Evason and his staff discussed breaking up their top line, at least temporarily, it wasn’t because they didn’t believe Ryan Hartman, Mats Zuccarello and Kirill Kaprizov weren’t working hard.Or, really, not having any success.The chief complaint was an old one: Too much superfluous passing in the offensive zone, and not enough help in the defensive zone. But the line had a combined 15 points in the team’s first five games and was creating chances, just not capitalizing on them the way Evason and his coaches knew they could.In 2021-22, the line combined for 105 goals and 252 points. Last season, despite Kaprizov missing a month and Hartman limited to 59 games, they combined for 77 goals and 179 points. So, the Wild weren’t about to rush into anything.“There’s a process of speaking individually, then talking to them as a group,” Evason said on Monday. “It isn’t just their line.”The patience paid immediate dividends on Tuesday, when Ryan Hartman scored a hat trick a...
