SAN DIEGO (AP) — A “rock star” doctor who tested tens of thousands of people for COVID-19 in the pandemic’s early months in a badly-stricken California desert community has pleaded guilty to misbranding cosmetic drugs, authorities said Thursday.Dr. Tien Tan Vo acknowledged in a plea agreement that none of the injectable botlinium toxin, or lip fillers, used by his Imperial Valley clinics from November 2016 to October 2020 were approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, federal prosecutors said.Vo, who endeared himself to patients for his boundless energy to contain the virus’ spread, admitted purchasing most of the cosmetic drugs from the operator of a “med spa” in Mexicali, Mexico, who smuggled them into the United States without declaring them. Vo said he received $100,767 for services performed with unapproved drugs and devices.As part of his plea agreement, the 47-year-old doctor agreed to return the payments and pay a fine of $201,534.

CHICAGO — Another piping plover nesting season has come and gone at Montrose Beach bird sanctuary. Because of the work of conservationists, the incredible love story of piping plovers “Monty” and "Rose” continues.At sunrise one recent morning, photographer and birder Matthew Dolkart, 39, was there to photograph the beloved birds. Athletes defined by determination – not disabilities – compete in Chicago Triathlon “This is kind of the spot where you’ll see most of the shore birds resting in the morning or even during the day,” he said. “They’ll be foraging at the shoreline.”Surrounded by only the beach and the birds, we’re listening for a low-pitched peep. That is Imani: Chicago’s piping plover, the offspring of Montrose beach’s namesake lovebirds Monty and Rose. The couple first nested at the beach in 2019.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Anderson junior receiver Ed Small hauled in three touchdown passes in the first half to help fuel the Trojans to a 42-0 win in the 22nd Taco Shack Bowl over McCallum on Thursday at House Park.It's the Trojans' 12th Taco Shack Bowl victory and their second consecutive blowout win after taking the game 49-3 last year.

It was more like the Low Keys at Grandstand opener

Do the Black Keys still want to be the Black Keys?That was one takeaway from the Ohio blues rock duo’s opening night performance Thursday at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand in front of a crowd of 6,621. Much like their previous two local shows, Target Center gigs in 2014 and 2019, guitarist/vocalist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney turned in a solid, but utterly unspectacular, performance that sped by in a mere 80 minutes. Auerbach produced monster riff after monster riff, while Carney pounded the drums with impressive force and skill. Problem is, they did so with little excitement, let alone any real soul.The pair spent their first 15 years together knocking out records, touring heavily and eventually catching the ear of rock radio, which turned the likes of “Tighten Up,” “Lonely Boy” and “Gold on the Ceiling” into big hits. And, yup, all three made Thursday’s set list. They took a much-needed hiatus in 2015, but felt tired when they returned to action in 201...Unplanned detour turns deadly
