HOUSTON (AP) — Eugenio Suárez homered twice with three RBIs and J.P. Crawford added a solo shot to lead the Seattle Mariners to a 5-1 victory over the Houston Astros on Thursday night.“Home runs work and we saw it tonight,” Seattle manager Scott Servais said. Suárez connected off Ronel Blanco (2-1) to make it 2-0 in the second and Crawford’s homer put Seattle up 3-0 an inning later. Suárez, who also doubled, made it 5-1 with his second home run to start the ninth and give him 14 career multi-homer games.“To start this series with a win was very important to us,” Suárez said. Seattle starter George Kirby (8-7) allowed six hits and one run in 6 2/3 innings to help the Mariners win for the fifth time in six games.Servais praised his players for their effort after the Mariners arrived at their hotel at 5 a.m. Thursday morning following a game in San Francisco on Wednesday night.“Guys are dragging and a ton of credit to our team to show up today,” he said. “Energy was good knowing that y...

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Xiyu Janet Lin and Hyo Joo Kim had rounds that matched the beauty at Pebble Beach, each of them with a 4-under 68 on Thursday to share the lead in the first U.S. Women’s Open held at one of America’s most famous courses.With only mild wind and a marine layer over the Monterey Peninsula that kept temperatures in the 50s, this was the gentle version of Pebble Beach. This also is a U.S. Open, and it didn’t take much to take a toll, especially at the top.The top four players in the world ranking were a combined 22-over par. Jin Young Ko, the No. 1 player in women’s golf, and Lilia Vu, who won the first LPGA major of the year, each shot 79.Rose Zhang, the 20-year-old Stanford sensation who won in her pro debut last month, wasted a good start with a double bogey on the eighth hole that slowed her momentum. She didn’t make a birdie the rest of the way, and had to chip on her last four holes — one of them from the wrong side of the g...

Something Coloradans were hearing frequently in reference to Nuggets' MVP Nikola Jokic and Nuggets' star Jamal Murray. Nikola Jokic back in Serbian hometown to watch family’s horses compete Jokic achieved 10 triple-doubles in the 2023 NBA Playoffs and was the first player in NBA history to record 30-plus points, 20-plus rebounds and 10-plus assists in a Finals game, NBA.com said.According to NBA.com, Jokic is now the seventh player to have two triple-doubles in the same Finals.

Pisani-Ferry : “J’attends de voir si le plan de financement du gouvernement est crédible”

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:36:51 GMT

PARIS — Un pied dedans, un pied dehors, Jean Pisani-Ferry sait jouer de son aura d’économiste respecté pour faire bouger les lignes.Architecte du programme d’Emmanuel Macron en 2017, l’économiste, dont la relation avec le chef de l’Etat a connu des hauts et des bas, est récemment revenu dans la lumière avec sa proposition de contribution exceptionnelle sur le patrimoine des plus aisés pour financer la transition écologique.Écartée d’emblée par l’exécutif — à l’exception d’une réaction d’abord hésitante du ministre de la Transition écologique Christophe Béchu —, la proposition a malgré tout produit son petit effet, y compris du côté de l’aile gauche de la majorité.La proposition de Jean Pisani-Ferry et de sa coautrice, l’inspectrice générale des finances Selma Mahfouz, repose sur une conviction largement partagée dans la classe politique : l’idée que l’enjeu de l’équité sera crucial dans l’effort massif qui s’annonce pour adapter l’économie du pays comme les modes de vie des Français...

Donna Mills crafts a new villain in ‘V.C. Andrews Dawn’ on Lifetime

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:36:51 GMT

Donna Mills, a touchstone of glitzy, over-the-top ‘80s television like “Knot’s Landing,” is back in Lifetime’s latest female-centric Saturday night movie “V.C. Andrews Dawn.”V.C. Andrews is the pen name of the late Cleo Virginia Andrews, best known for steamy familial sagas like “Flowers in the Attic.”  Andrews, who had often used a wheelchair and crutches, was 63 when she died in 1986 but her estate has continued to thrive.Ghost writer Andrew Neiderman has written all VC Andrews books since 1987-88.“Dawn” from 1990 is the first of a trilogy about the wealthy, socially prestigious and cutthroat Cutler family.  It’s also the first series (which now number in the dozens) to be written by Neiderman, although “Dawn” was begun by Andrews.Teenaged Dawn (Brec Bassinger) is at the center of “Dawn.”  She soon learns the Longchamps are not her real parents; she is a Cutler.  At private school Dawn discovers her talent and dreams of a singing career.Mills, 82, stars as Lillian Cutler, a ruthle...

Albert: Without action on TSA shortages, summer travel is a bust

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:36:51 GMT

In several key East Coast hubs, staffing is an issue. Due to Transportation Security Administration staffing shortages at key airports, travelers will face longer lines, which will cause missed flights and missed connections throughout the system and may contribute to a more nightmarish travel and vacation season.Earlier this year, the Federal Aviation Administration said East Coast airports will be the hardest hit, with delays to rise by 45% when compared with those last summer. Staffing shortages and rising consumer demand are driving the problem. Last summer, New York-area airports reported more than 40,000 flight delays, which amounted to the highest yearly percentage of delayed flights in seven years, Business Insider stated in a March article.More than 20% of flights are arriving late, on average, and currently, 1% to 2% of flights are being canceled. Passenger volumes at TSA security checkpoints are equal to or are exceeding pre-pandemic levels, but airports still don’t have ...
