Kane scores again, Tottenham loses 3-1 to Brentford in Premier League

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:32:49 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Harry Kane scored a goal and lost the game in perhaps his final home appearance for Tottenham.The England captain, who again has been linked with an offseason move away from Tottenham, curled home after an indirect free kick in the eighth minute only for Bryan Mbeumo to score twice and set up another goal in the second half for Brentford in its 3-1 win in the Premier League on Saturday.Tottenham might now struggle to qualify for any European competition for next season, having come into the game in seventh place — the division’s only qualifying spot for the third-tier Europa Conference League.Brentford stayed in ninth place but is only one point behind Tottenham ahead of the teams’ final games of the season next weekend.Kane’s 28th league goal this season was perhaps his best of the campaign as he picked out the top corner with a 25-meter shot after Dejan Kulusevski rolled the ball backward with the sole of his foot at a free kick. It put Kane eight g...

Chesapeake mansion, an architectural ‘milestone,’ wants the nation to see it

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:32:49 GMT

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — When Horatio Sharpe, the colonial governor of Maryland, started work on Whitehall in the 18th century, the story goes that he hoped the palatial villa on the Chesapeake Bay would win his beloved’s heart. Alas, the young woman fell for Sharpe’s friend and personal secretary instead.But Whitehall’s most recent owners now hope to woo the American people — and perhaps tap Uncle Sam for some help keeping it up.Long overshadowed by grander and more accessible cousins such as Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, Whitehall could become a main attraction in the proposed Chesapeake National Recreation Area, according to lawmakers and others pushing for the federal designation.The Annapolis site would offer visitors a jumping-off point to explore the bay’s paradoxical history as the birthplace of American democracy and slavery. The National Register of Historic Places lists it as “a major milestone in American architectural history,” too, because of the scale and quality of a c...

Peony farm reopens for flower picking and picturesque scenery

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:32:49 GMT

WAYNESBORO, Va. (AP) — It might be a good time to smell the flowers.Shenandoah Peonies has opened for its second season. Located on the outskirts of Waynesboro off Stuarts Draft Highway near Troyer’s Fruit & Produce Farm, there are only a few signs along the roadside navigating customers to the farm, where the flowers are laid out in rows in the fields and bloom bright and beautiful beneath the hot sun.The peonies have been blooming quickly for over a week and are planted by Jelte Tjalf, a Dutch-born tulip farmer, and his wife, Tip, with the help of some friends. Originally from Holland, Netherlands, Tjalf said his home country is known for tulip flowers and agriculture due to the mild climate. He moved to the Lyndhurst area to work at a nearby tulip farm.The couple initially created the peony farm to plant wholesale peonies for grocery stores but soon discovered competing with large corporations was too difficult.“Plus, it’s boring, the wholesale industry,” Tjalf said. “Because...

More states are requiring patients to give consent for medical students performing pelvic exams

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:32:49 GMT

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A new batch of states are looking to legislate the level of informed consent when it comes to medical students performing pelvic exams for educational purposes on unconscious patients. At least 20 states already have consent laws for this practice. Montana’s governor signed a bill in April, Missouri has legislation that needs the governor’s signature to become law and Ohio lawmakers are also considering it.Colorado lawmakers want to go a step further, with Democratic Gov. Jared Polis expected to sign a bill that one bioethicist calls the broadest she’s seen — and says may go too far — due to a requirement of naming the involved students ahead of time and introducing them to the patients.Proponents “see the Colorado bill as a model we hope other states will pass,” said Elizabeth Newman, public policy director at the Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault, which testified in favor of the legislation.It’s hard to track and quantify how often medical students ar...

Russia warns West sending F-16s to Ukraine ‘carries enormous risks’: TASS

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:32:49 GMT

The West’s effort to potentially send modern fighter jets to Ukraine “carries enormous risks,” Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko warned on Saturday, according to Russian state news agency TASS.The minister’s comments in an interview with TASS come in the wake of the U.S. getting behind a joint international effort to train Ukrainian pilots to use modern fighter aircraft including F-16s. This could also pave the way to eventually send advanced Western combat jets to Ukraine, according to a senior administration official. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed the U.S. decision in a tweet on Friday, saying that it “will greatly enhance our army in the sky.” He added that he counted on discussing “the practical implementation of this decision” at the G7 summit in Hiroshima, Japan. “We can see that Western countries continue to stick to an escalation scenario, which carries enormous risks for them,” Grushko said in the interview. “In...

For Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, contract extensions loom over poor playoff performances

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:32:49 GMT

Six-hundred and thirteen million dollars.That’s the dollar amount it’s projected to cost the Boston Celtics to retain both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown when they become contract extension-eligible over the next two summers.Or at least it was the ticket price before Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat reduced Boston’s franchise cornerstones to ash, stealing Games 1 and 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals via back-to-back late-game Celtics collapses.And with both Tatum and Brown struggling in crunch time — also known as money time — both look like potential poor investments if the second-seeded Celtics cannot capitalize as heavy favorites against a Heat team down both a former Sixth Man of the Year (Tyler Herro) and a former All-Star (Victor Oladipo).Yet it’s the fashion with which the meltdowns occurred that’s most concerning for a Celtics team now projected to come up short in consecutive legitimate championship runs. Tatum, for example, is only...

SAN DIEGO (Border Report) -- Drivers with the "Red and Black" taxi group in Tijuana blocked as many as eight traffic lanes leading into the San Ysidro Port of Entry disrupting the Friday morning commute for many who cross the border daily.The drivers say they are trying to pressure Baja California's governor into helping them solve a work dispute with the city of Tijuana, which has told the drivers that soon, they won't be able to pick up fares along the heavily traveled Aguacaliente-Díaz Ordaz Boulevard.The city of Tijuana and the state of Baja California are in the process of creating a mass-transit line with 34 stops along the length of the boulevard to serve the public.Both have said having the taxis share the road is not practical and would generate a lot more congestion.
