Their comments echoed the minutes from the Fed’s last meeting in January, released Wednesday. The minutes showed that most central bank officials were concerned about the risk that moving too fast to cut rates could allow inflation to rise again after it has declined significantly in the past year. Only “a couple” of policymakers worried about a different risk: that keeping rates too high for too long could slow the economy and potentially…

  Kirk Cousins has carved out a nice career for himself since entering the NFL in 2012. The former fourth-round pick was drafted to the same team as one of the biggest prospects of his class, Robert Griffin III. After Griffin’s hype fizzled out, Cousins took over and even became a Pro Bowl selection for Washington in ’16.

Only about 5 percent of Americans get the recommended amount of daily fiber, which is about 30 grams a day. The enzyme Zya is developing comes from a family called inulosucrases, and is naturally made by a strain of bacteria found in the human microbiome that’s capable of converting sugar to fiber in the gut environment.
