Tim Anderson came up in a big spot Sunday against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field.Facing flamethrower Jhoan Duran with two outs, Zach Remillard on third and the game tied in the 10th, Anderson lined a run-scoring double to the gap in right-center.While the Chicago White Sox couldn’t hold on, losing in 12 innings, the hit was signature Anderson.The shortstop has had a productive second half, hitting .366 with four RBIs in his last 10 games.“Just feeling more like myself and trying to get back to what I normally do,” Anderson said Tuesday.He went 1-for-4 with a run in Tuesday’s 7-3 loss to the Cubs in the City Series at Guaranteed Rate Field.Anderson has six multihit games since the All-Star break and nine in his last 20 games.“His all-around game has been better,” manager Pedro Grifol said Friday in Minneapolis. “The ball is jumping off his bat.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The City of Angels, a metropolis of freeways and traffic, has a newly discovered species named in its honor: The Los Angeles Thread Millipede.The tiny arthropod was found just underground by naturalists at a Southern California hiking area — near a freeway, a Starbucks and an Oakley sunglasses store. About the length of a paperclip but skinny as pencil lead, it’s translucent and sinuous like a jellyfish tentacle. The creature burrows four inches below ground, secretes unusual chemicals and is blind, relying on hornlike antennas protruding from its head to find its way. Under a microscope, the millipede with its 486 legs and helmet-like head resembles a creature in a Hollywood monster film. “It’s amazing to think these millipedes are crawling in the inner cracks and crevices between little pieces of rock below our feet in Los Angeles,” said entomologist Paul Marek of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute. He was part of the research team that included scientists...WNBA’s Riquna Williams barred from Aces after felony domestic violence arrest in Las Vegas

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The scientifically discredited practice of so-called conversion therapy, which aims to “convert” LGBTQ+ people to heterosexuality or traditional gender expectations, is now banned for minors in Michigan under legislation signed Wednesday by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. Michigan becomes the 22nd state to outlaw conversion therapy, which state lawmakers defined as any practice or treatment by a mental health professional that seeks to change an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity. That does not include counseling that provides assistance to people undergoing a gender transition.Whitmer, who is the mother of a member of the LGBTQ community, said in a statement that banning the “horrific practice,” of conversion therapy was necessary to making Michigan a place “where you can be who you are.” She signed an executive directive in 2021 prohibiting the use of state and federal funds for conversion therapy on minors.An estimated 15% of LGBTQ minors in Michigan ...New Mexico lifts debt-based suspensions of driver’s licenses for 100,000 residents

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico’s motor vehicle division has lifted the suspension of driver’s licenses for more than 100,000 residents under new anti-poverty legislation, officials announced Wednesday.Bipartisan legislation signed by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham in March called for an end to the widespread practice of suspending driver’s licenses for failure to pay a fine or failure to appear in court. At least 23 other states have taken similar steps to end debt-based suspensions of driver’s licenses that can make it harder for individuals to pay off debts and care for their families.The New Mexico law does not apply to commercial driver’s licenses nor suspensions for other reasons related to dangerous driving or accumulated traffic violations.License suspensions also have been cleared for more than 160,000 out-of-state drivers with New Mexico citations, the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department said in a news release.
