WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Victoria Azarenka said it “wasn’t fair” that she was booed at Wimbledon after her loss to Ukrainian rival Elina Svitolina on Sunday.Azarenka, who’s from Belarus, had just lost a third-set tiebreaker and — knowing that Svitolina does not shake hands with Russian and Belarusian players after matches in protest of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — walked directly to the umpire to shake hands.The two-time Grand Slam champion also seemed to give a slight wave to Svitolina, who won 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 (9).But as she gathered her equipment and began walking off No. 1 Court — where the crowd had been rooting for Svitolina — boos rained down.“I can’t control the crowd. I’m not sure that a lot of people were understanding what’s happening,” Azarenka said, suggesting the crowd had been drinking. “It wasn’t fair. It is what it is. What can I do?”It wasn’t clear if fans thought Azarenka snubbed Svitolina, but the Belarusian shook her head as she walked of...Boil water advisory lifted for Hawthorn Woods, Kildeer in Lake County

Ukraine's possible entry may be the biggest challenge

WASHINGTON (AP) — As the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues with no end in sight, NATO's much-celebrated unity faces fresh strains when leaders gather for their annual summit this week in Vilnius, Lithuania.The world’s biggest security alliance is struggling to reach an agreement on admitting Sweden as its 32nd member. Military spending by member nations lags behind long-standing goals. An inability to compromise over who should serve as NATO’s next leader forced an extension of the current secretary-general's term for an extra year.Perhaps the most difficult questions are over how Ukraine should be eased into NATO. Some maintain admitting Ukraine would fulfill a promise made years ago and be a necessary step to deter Russian aggression in Eastern Europe. Others fear it would be seen as a provocation that could spiral into an even wider conflict."I don’t think it’s ready for membership in NATO," President Joe Biden told CNN in an interview that aired on Sunday. He said joining NA...Possible proof of oldest human-occupied site found in Oregon, dating back over 18K years

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — An Oregon field research team believes it has uncovered evidence that indicates humans roamed the state at least 18,000 years ago. This could be proof of North America’s oldest human-occupied site yet.Since 2011, the Bureau of Land Management and the University of Oregon’s Museum of Natural and Cultural History Archaeological Field School have partnered to excavate the Rimrock Draw Rockshelter near Riley, Oregon.According to the BLM, archaeologist Patrick O’Grady led the team that had a major discovery back in 2012. The archaeologists unearthed camel teeth fragments that were initially hidden by volcanic ash from a Mount St. Helens eruption roughly 15,000 years ago.The researchers also found an orange agate scraper with bison blood residue in 2012, and an additional scraper later in 2015. Experts with the BLM said the "natural layering of the rockshelter sediments" hints that the scrapers date back even further than the volcanic ash and camel teeth.After cond...Do we have some summer time heat coming?

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 17:09:16 GMT
By Emily Fleischaker, The New York TimesA co-worker recently used the phrase “spiritually out-of-office” to describe the vibe of summer. That slowing-down feeling applies to weeknight cooking, too. It’s hot. It’s vacation season. I say it’s normal to crave a few extra shortcuts and a little more time on the couch.Below are some ideas (should I call them confessions?) to alter recipes when cooking dinner feels like scaling a 6-foot wall. A note of warning: These recipes simply won’t be as delicious as initially written. But they will still be much better than ordering overpriced takeout, and can help you manifest the lazy summer you deserve.1. Spicy Corn and Coconut SoupA good corn soup is creamy and naturally sweet; an even better corn soup is spicy, refreshing and addictive. In this recipe, it’s the combination of shallots, garlic, ginger, chiles and coconut milk, rather than heavy cream or butter, that makes the soup at once cooling and rich. It’s a dinner in a bowl (and a vegan o...‘Suspicious’ fire breaks out at Los Angeles City Hall

Arson investigators are looking into what caused a “suspicious” fire to break out at Los Angeles City Hall on Saturday night. According to the LAFD, firefighters responded to City Hall – located at 200 N. Main Street in downtown L.A. – around 8 p.m. Preliminary reports indicated that an object was apparently thrown into the building, causing the fire to start. Fire crews arrived on scene and responded to an activated alarm on the second floor of the building. A sprinkler helped contain most of the fire, LAFD said. "LAFD firefighters found evidence that the fire was started suspiciously,” a spokesperson for the LAFD confirmed to KTLA.

SAN FRANICSCO — Camilo Doval and Alex Cobb are going to the All-Star Game, but the horse the Giants rode in on is Logan Webb.If the Giants are going to do any postseason damage in 2023, it will be Webb anchoring the rotation as the No. 1 starter. Webb looked the part of the dominant postseason pitcher he was in 2021 Sunday, shutting out the Colorado Rockies 1-0 Sunday at Oracle Park.A festive crowd of 36,050 on a partially overcast day was treated to Webb’s first shutout and complete game after 95 previous starts.Heading to the mound in the ninth to a standing ovation, Webb (8-7) finished things off by striking out Kris Bryant (on appeal), Ryan McMahon and Elias Diaz to finish it off.Webb finished with 10 strikeouts, no walks and threw 103 pitches, 75 of them strikes in a game that was over in an hour and 56 minutes.The Giants scored against Colorado starter and hard-luck loser Kyle Freeland on a home run by J.D.
