But Adam Kilgore, the Nationals beat writer for the Washington Post, reports that Ripken doesn’t appear to be a likely candidate for the opening . Ripken’s baseball credentials and local ties are obvious—he spent his 21-year Hall of Fame career playing for the Baltimore Orioles—but he doesn’t have any managerial experience, on any professional level. Speculation about Ripken as a possible replacement for the retiring Davey Johnson ramped up when outfielder Jayson Werth endorsed him for the job in the final week of the regular season, and Ripken himself has talked about being open to the possibility of managing at this point in his life, without specifically addressing the opening in Washington....

Swallowed Air Some people habitually swallow air, called aerophagia. They’re usually unaware they do this, and the cause is often anxiety-related. The gas swallowed is composed mainly of oxygen and nitrogen. Most of the oxygen is absorbed by the mucous lining of the gut or is used up by colon bacteria, with very little ending up in flatulence. Nitrogen, on the other hand, is poorly absorbed by the mucous lining and most of the swallowed nitrogen ends up in flatulence....
The Natural Solutions Foundation, along with self-proclaimed “Vitamin Lawyer” Ralph Fucetola and his business partner Dr. Rima Laibow, were ordered to stop distributing a nano silver treatment that they claimed could treat or cure COVID-19, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on Tuesday.

The suit alleged that nano silver products were sold by the company despite not being “generally recognized by qualified experts as safe and effective to prevent, treat or cure COVID-19....
She’s not talking up the joys of sauce moutarde. Goldberg is trying to replicate the glue that allows these bivalves to stick to rocks in even the roughest seas. Chemists have yet to synthesize an adhesive that can withstand such conditions, but a glue that works in water would do wonders for shipbuilding, to say nothing of dentistry. Last week Goldberg was in Boston, along with 3,800 other material boys and girls, for the annual meeting of the Materials Research Society....
Some believe it shifted from questionable to doubtful when the 49ers signed Malcolm Smith to a free-agent deal and then drafted Reuben Foster.

Lynch and Shanahan, though, called shenanigans on the Bowman trade rumors Thursday with a joint statement issued to NBC Sports Bay Area....
