Justin Rose the last bastion of Europe’s old guard as new wave sweeps through Ryder Cup team

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 12:31:13 GMT

GUIDONIA MONTECELIO, Italy (AP) — As the only 40-something playing at this Ryder Cup, Justin Rose has come a long way from being that 17-year-old amateur in a baggy red sweater who holed out for eagle to finish tied fourth in his first British Open in 1998.With age comes experience and that’s what Rose is providing in the European team room, offering what he describes as an “open-door policy” for the four rookies as they attempt to glean what makes the Ryder Cup so special.“If I just make them feel comfortable enough that they want to ask a question,” the 43-year-old Rose said Wednesday, “let’s hear it and I’ll do my best to give some type of perspective.”The last two years of his Ryder Cup journey have given Rose plenty of that.Missing the 2021 matches at Whistling Straits after failing to earn a captain’s pick was a big jolt to a player who had featured in every Ryder Cup since 2008, earning a 60.25 win percentage along the way.It’s a proud record that’s among the very best of all...

Deion Sanders still winning in Black community after first loss at Colorado

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 12:31:13 GMT

One of Trevon Hamlet’s core memories from attending the University of Colorado is living on campus his freshman year and being able to count on one hand how many Black people he’d see in a day.Hamlet, who played lacrosse at Colorado from 2014-19 and still lives in the area, was the only Black person on his team in a school where African-American students made up less than 2% of the population. He said a lot of those Black students were athletes.Four years after Hamlet graduated, Colorado’s student makeup doesn’t look much different. But football coach Deion Sanders has turned the Boulder campus into an unexpected cultural phenomenon, where the vivacity and early success of the team has forced the attention of even those who don’t watch college football, with a lot of most support coming from the Black community. “There’s so much Blackness that’s involved in this, and it’s the biggest story in the country,” Hamlet said. “Although you have standard supporters f...

Ruling that Boulder King Soopers shooting suspect is competent for trial set to be debated

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 12:31:13 GMT

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — A hearing begins Wednesday to determine if the man accused of killing 10 people at a Colorado supermarket in 2021 is mentally competent to stand trial.Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 24, was found mentally competent by experts at the state mental hospital in August, but his defense attorney Kathryn Herold asked for the determination to be debated in court.Judge Ingrid Bakke was required to schedule the two-day hearing that will include testimony but denied Herold's request for another evaluation from the mental hospital. Bakke's ruling could come as soon as Thursday. New memorial for King Soopers shooting victims Herold argued at the time that Alissa, who has schizophrenia, is not competent and cited the psychiatric evaluations describing him as “profoundly mentally ill.”Schizophrenia can shake someone's grasp on reality, potentially interfering in a legal defense in court. Mental competency to move toward trial entails Alissa being able to understand court proceeding...

New ‘supercontinent’ could wipe out humans and make Earth uninhabitable, study suggests

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 12:31:13 GMT

(CNN) — The formation of a new “supercontinent” could wipe out humans and all other mammals still alive in 250 million years, researchers have predicted.Using the first-ever supercomputer climate models of the distant future, scientists from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom predicted how climate extremes would intensify after the world’s continents merge to form one supercontinent, Pangea Ultima, in around 250 million years.They found it would be extremely hot, dry and virtually uninhabitable for humans and mammals, who are not evolved to cope with prolonged exposure to excessive heat.Researchers simulated temperature, wind, rain and humidity trends for the supercontinent and used models of tectonic plate movement, ocean chemistry and biology to calculate carbon dioxide levels.They found that not only would the formation of Pangea Ultima lead to more regular volcanic eruptions, spewing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and warming the planet, but the sun would a...

The Relentless Rain to Continue

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 12:31:13 GMT

South Florida remains stuck in a soggy stretch of weather this week as deep, tropical moisture gets steered in from the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico and gets trapped across the state.This will lead to higher than normal rain chances at a 70% chance through Saturday. The liklihood for rain along with the potential for heavy rain means the risk for flooding will exist each and everyday in spots.Through the rest of this week, expect to see rounds of rain and thunderstorms at any point in the day. Given how unsettled this pattern is with no notable weather features nearby, it’s difficult to pinpoint when exactly we’ll see the rain but chances do look to be the highest during the afternoons and overnights.The positive with the added cloud cover the rest of this week is that temperatures won’t be too hot. Instead, it will be near-normal into the upper 80s with some pockets of low 90s for areas that don’t see much rain.Then during this weekend, some changes arri...

KORNIDZOR, Armenia — The former leader of Nagorno-Karabakh’s Armenians has been detained by Azerbaijani forces as he attempted to escape the war-ravaged region alongside tens of thousands of civilians.In a statement shared with state media on Wednesday, Azerbaijan’s border guard service said it had arrested Ruben Vardanyan “as a result of the vigilance of military personnel” as he attempted to cross the internationally recognized border into Armenia. A photograph of the bearded Russian-Armenian oligarch being escorted by officers has since been published.Moments earlier, Vardanyan’s wife, Veronika Zonabend, shared an impassioned plea with POLITICO in which she confirmed her husband was blocked from leaving the exclave, alongside an estimated 42,500 people who have fled their homes in the past three days. “Ruben has stood with the Arsakh people during the 10-month blockade and has suffered with them in their struggle for survival,” she said.V...
