Serbia moves into World Cup semifinals by beating Lithuania, which had just topped the U.S.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:53:22 GMT

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Lithuania beat the U.S. at the 1998 world championships, then failed to medal. Lithuania then beat the U.S. again at the 2004 Olympics, then failed to medal.And history will repeat itself at this World Cup.Bogdan Bogdanovic scored 18 of his 21 points in the first half and Serbia topped previously unbeaten Lithuania 87-68 in the World Cup quarterfinals on Tuesday — a result that means Lithuania cannot medal in Manila this weekend. The best Lithuania can do now is fifth place.It continues a peculiar jinx for Lithuania, which is 3-8 all-time against the U.S. at the senior men’s national level — and has turned those three wins into exactly zero medals. Lithuania was playing less than 48 hours after beating the U.S. 110-104 to close out second-round play in Manila.Serbia (5-1) will play Canada or Slovenia in Friday’s semifinals. The Canada-Slovenia quarterfinal game is Wednesday; the loser plays Lithuania (5-1) in the consolation playoffs Thursday. Teams cannot...

Nationals Notebook: Home stretch starts with a sweep at home

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:53:22 GMT

Labor Day was the final marking post of the baseball season as teams prepared for the final kick to the postseason (or as we sometimes see, be kicked to the curb).And after posting their first winning month since June of 2021, it looked as if the Washington Nationals had a chance to, if not make the postseason, at least continue to make noise. They got to face a struggling Miami that was teetering — going 13-25 since the All Star break — and they were home.Actually, upon further review, getting swept by the Marlins in D.C. shouldn’t have come as a complete surprise.First off, the Nats were 2-7 against Miami entering the four-game series. And second, this is one of six MLB teams that has a worse record at home than on the road. The select club the Nationals are in is an intriguing bunch: two teams that led their divisions entering Sunday’s games (Houston and the Orioles), two that were scraping on the fringes of the Wild Card chase (Cincinnati and Toronto) and two sub-. 5...

Kenya’s leader says climate change is eating away Africa’s GDP, calls for talks on global carbon tax

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:53:22 GMT

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Climate change is “relentlessly eating away” at Africa’s economic progress and it’s time to have a global conversation about a carbon tax, Kenya’s president declared Tuesday as the first Africa Climate Summit began.“Those who produce the garbage refuse to pay their bills,” President William Ruto said.The African continent of more than 1.3 billion people is losing 5% to 15% of its GDP growth every year to the widespread impacts of climate change, according to Ruto. It’s a source of deep frustration in the region that contributes by far the least to the global problem.The summit’s opening speeches included clear calls to reform the global financial structures that have left African nations paying five times more to borrow money than others, worsening the debt crisis for many. Africa has more than 30 of the world’s most indebted countries, Kenya’s cabinet secretary for the environment, Soipan Tuya, said.The U.S. government’s climate envoy, John Kerry, acknow...

DENVER (KDVR) -- A family from Thornton is asking for help finding the driver they believe struck their loved one on a motorcycle in a hit-and-run crash on Saturday.

I’m mad for somebody to be careless and not care and not to stop to see if he was OK and even call 911. Other bystanders had to do it. That’s what makes me so angry," Soto's daughter Andrea Garcia said. The family said Soto doesn't remember anything about the crash other than going through a green light. The next thing he knew, he was in the hospital. "It’s the worst feeling in the world. It’s the scariest thing ever to have to deal with especially when you are being c...

DENVER (KDVR) -- In August, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston announced a preliminary list of 11 potential sites for short-term housing for those experiencing homelessness.According to the mayor, these locations are publicly and privately owned or are owned by the city, the Colorado Department of Transportation, or the Department of Housing.The sites will be evaluated and vetted over the next couple of weeks before they are opened, with a goal to get 1,000 unhoused people inside by the end of the year.However, not everyone is on board with the locations.
