LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kiké Hernández walked into Dodger Stadium, rode the elevator downstairs and passed the display cases of gleaming trophies on his way to the clubhouse.He was back on familiar turf for the first time in three years.“It’s weird to be here,” Hernández said Wednesday, a day after being traded by the Boston Red Sox to the NL West-leading Dodgers. “It feels like it’s been forever, but at the same time it feels like it was yesterday that I was here.“There’s so many emotions that I don’t even know how to put them all into words.”Three years after helping the Dodgers win the World Series during the pandemic-delayed 2020 season, Hernández was in their starting lineup at second base for the series finale against Toronto.The utilityman, who turns 32 next month, is hoping for a career revival in Hollywood.Hernández struggled at the plate and in the field for the Red Sox, who are fourth in the AL East.

The US is requiring more planes to have accessible restrooms, but change will take years

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:11:56 GMT

Some new planes eventually will be required to have lavatories big enough to be accessible to wheelchair users, a change that disability advocates have sought for many years.The U.S. Department of Transportation issued a long-awaited final rule on the subject Wednesday.Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said the new rule will give travelers in wheelchairs “the same access and dignity as the rest of the traveling public.”The rule will only apply to new single-aisle planes with at least 125 seats, such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. The restriction means that smaller regional jets used on hundreds of flights a day for the major airlines won’t be covered. Also, airlines won’t be required to retrofit current planes, so the number of planes with larger lavatories will grow slowly over time. The requirement for at least one accessible lavatory will apply to planes ordered 10 years or delivered 12 years after the rule takes effect this fall, except for future models of...
