SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea launched a short-range ballistic missile toward its eastern waters Thursday, hours after the North threatened to launch “fiercer” military responses to the U.S. bolstering its security commitment to its allies South Korea and Japan. After detecting the launch, South Korean, U.S. and Japanese militaries quickly condemned the launch that they say threatens stability in the region. It was North Korea’s first ballistic missile firing in eight days and the latest in its barrage of tests in recent months. North Korea previously said some of the tests were simulations of nuclear attacks on South Korean and U.S. targets. Many experts say North Korea would eventually want to enhance its nuclear capability to wrest bigger concessions from its rivals.

TAMPA, Fla. — Mason Marchment will return to the site of his breakout season when the Dallas Stars visit the Panthers on Thursday night. Last season, Marchment had 47 points in 54 games despite averaging just 14:07 of ice time per game, including limited action on the power play. I think his career path is really, really unique. We’re the benefactor of that because we’re getting him at the right time.”Now, in Dallas, Marchment is a fixture in the top six playing with Tyler Seguin. He is on the second power play unit, and has played in both of the Stars’ overtime games this season.

He goes straight to work; I go straight to work; and somewhere in there the dog gets fed, let out and walked. How do we rekindle the spark that we once had in a toned-down version? I’m not looking for headboard-banging nights, but how do we carve out some “us” time? I understood this woman’s plight because as every mom knows, a tired baby is a cranky baby.

GENEVA (AP) — The head of the World Health Organization said Wednesday that he expects the first doses of Ebola vaccine targeting the strain behind an outbreak in Uganda to arrive in the country next week. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said an expert committee convened by the agency had evaluated three experimental Ebola vaccines and decided they should all be tested in Uganda as part of the necessary research before being licensed. The WHO chief said efforts to slow Ebola in Uganda have been largely successful. While an effective Ebola vaccine against the Zaire strain exists, the Sudan strain is less common, and research into a possible vaccine against it has not been as advanced. Earlier this month, vaccines alliance Gavi signed an agreement with Merck to secure 300,000 doses of its candidate Ebola vaccine for use in research and beyond.

Trump, bruised by midterms, vows to bring down Biden in fresh bid for U.S. presidentWASHINGTON — Donald Trump, the twice-impeached former U.S. president, tossed his red ball cap back into the ring Tuesday — an exercise some observers say is as much about judicial self-preservation as it is a brazen display of political ambition. "America's comeback starts right now," Trump said Tuesday as he declared his long-telegraphed intention to pursue the 2024 Republican nomination. "In order to make America great and glorious again, I am declaring my candidacy for president of the United States." — He's under federal investigation for his concerted efforts to strip Biden of his 2020 victory, as well as for spiriting hundreds of documents out of the White House to Mar-a-Lago, many of them considered top secret. "Trump back in the White House places uncertainty back at the centre of the North American relationship.

The Stars filled the box to the tune of six penalties, they were tied after the second period and they lost another close game.
