Ryder Cup in Rome stays right at home for the Europeans. The US loses its seventh straight in Europe

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:35:53 GMT

GUIDONIA MONTECELIO, Italy (AP) — Europe won back the the Ryder Cup on Sunday, just like it always does before its raucous crowd, with Rory McIlroy leading the way and Tommy Fleetwood delivering the decisive point to extend its dominance over the Americans on home soil.The outcome was never seriously in doubt at Marco Simone. Europe started the final day with a five-point lead. McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Viktor Hovland and Tyrrell Hatton put the Europeans on the verge of the cup, forcing the Americans to win the remaining five matches on the course.Just like everything else this week, there was little chance of that.McIlroy was still fired up over what he perceived to be bad behavior by Patrick Cantlay’s caddie on the 18th green the previous evening. He won his match to cap a 4-1 week and was Europe’s top scorer for the first time in the Ryder Cup.And then Fleetwood hit a signature shot on the signature hole, a drive to 25 feet on the reachable 16th. Rickie Fowler hit into the w...

OPINIÓN | Dejé de beber un año, pero puede que no lo haga para siempre

Nota del editor: Jemal Polson, quien escribió este ensayo, es productor de medios sociales en CNN desde Londres.(CNN) — En un principio no era algo que tuviera intención de hacer a largo plazo.Abstenerme del alcohol durante un par de semanas o incluso un mes no era nada nuevo para mí. Sin embargo, solo era cuestión de tiempo que volviera a beber, con la ansiedad y el remordimiento posteriores que a menudo duraban días.Conocía la clave para aliviar estos problemas. Cómo dejar de llenar los espacios en blanco con las peores ideas imaginables sobre lo que podría haber hecho o lo que podría haber pasado la noche anterior. Pero francamente estaba en negación.Dejar de beber por tiempo indefinido era un salto demasiado grande para mí. Pero en octubre de 2022 supe que tenía que romper el ciclo.Después de despertarme en demasiadas ocasiones con un recuerdo borroso de la noche anterior, comencé mi viaje hacia la sobriedad tras ver este artículo de CNN Wellness, que casualmente se public...

England will prepare for Rugby World Cup quarters against Samoa and welcome back Curry

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:35:53 GMT

LE TOUQUET, France (AP) — England will give free-again flanker Tom Curry a chance to start the Rugby World Cup anew against Samoa next weekend.Curry has completed a two-game suspension and tackle school.“Tough for him (with the ban) but he has reacted really well and got stuck into his training and looked really good,” England attack coach Richard Wigglesworth said on Sunday.“I don’t think he will hold much back. He is all action, he is as fit as a fiddle, and that is the way he plays. He has multiple actions in-game where he affects the game. I think we will get the best of Tom Curry in terms of him getting straight into it from the start so absolutely delighted to have him back.”Captain Owen Farrell, who had to miss England’s first two matches because of his own suspension, said of Curry, “I’m sure he can’t wait to show what he can do.“He is in a good place I think. I don’t think there’s too much revving up Tom can do anyway — he’s p...

Huge but glum: Poland’s opposition puts a million people on the streets

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:35:53 GMT

WARSAW — Poland’s opposition held an enormous rally in Warsaw and other cities on Sunday — claiming more than a million people took part — but the mood two weeks ahead of the election is grim rather than triumphant.That’s because the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party has been holding on to a significant lead in the polls. POLITICO’s Poll of Polls has PiS at 38 percent while Civic Coalition, the main opposition grouping, is at 30 percent.The Million Hearts march called by Donald Tusk, a former prime minister who heads the Civic Coalition, was supposed to lift the spirits of opposition supporters and show them that PiS — in power since 2015 — can be beaten.“The impossible has become possible, when I see this sea of hearts, when I see these hundreds of thousands of smiling faces, I feel that this turning point in the history of our homeland is approaching,” Tusk told the crowd in Warsaw.But the mood among the thousands of people streaming through the hear...

Ukrainians are fighting with all their courage and capacities, and if we want th...

September ends with more heat and little rain

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:35:53 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- The final numbers for September 2023 are in and—no surprise here—the month was much warmer than normal. The heat dome, that center of upper-level high pressure, maintained its stranglehold over our area for much of the month.90°-highs were recorded 27 times, with a much-too-hot 11 of those reaching triple digits. The hottest temperature in September was 107° on the Sept. 7. Those highs of greater than 100° ended during the weekend of September. Only three days had a high below normalSo, for 2023, there were 80 days ... 80! ... where the high at Camp Mabry made it to 100° or more. The record book will show that 2023 had the second most highs in three figures, topped by the 90 that baked this area in 2011.You may remember that back in May our team made its prediction of how many days triple digits would be reached. If you don't the guesses ranged from 33 days to 44 days. We all missed badly. September 2023 will also have the distinction of being the second warmest wi...
