(CNN Español) —  Xóchitl Gálvez, quien será la candidata de la oposición a la presidencia de México, aseguró en “Conclusiones” de CNN que a Claudia Sheinbaum, su contrincante por el partido oficialista Morena y aliados, “le va a costar mucho desmarcarse de los errores del presidente”.Según la senadora por el Partido Acción Nacional (PAN), si Sheinbaum no ha sido crítica con Andrés Manuel López Obrador es porque “sabía que la decisión de ser candidata pasaba por el mandatario”, dijo a Fernando del Rincón.López Obrador respalda la candidatura de Sheinbaum y pide a Ebrard “apoyar la transformación”La opositora también criticó que la exjefa de Gobierno de la Ciudad de México haya “permitido que su jefe político, el presidente, tome acciones que afectan a las mujeres” sin levantar la mano. Algo que para Gálvez es una prueba de que “una cosa es ser mujer y otra cosa es estar del lado de las mujeres”.El 31 de ago...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Jawhar Jordan and Jamari Thrash each scored two touchdowns, and Louisville used a slew of explosive plays to dominate Murray State 56-0 on Thursday night for its first shutout in nearly three years. Six days after rallying past Georgia Tech 39-34 in Jeff Brohm’s coaching debut, the Cardinals (2-0) were never challenged by the FCS-level Racers (1-1) in the home opener.Louisville led 28-0 at halftime, with Jack Plummer threading a crossing pass to Thrash for a 73-yard scoring play and Jordan shaking a defender near the left sideline in a 72-yard TD run.Louisville set the tone with chunk plays on its first possession as Kevin Coleman made an incredible one-handed catch for 30 yards on third and 11. Plummer later hit a wide-open Jordan for 32 yards to the 12, and Thrash took a pitch on the next snap and dashed untouched for the TD to cap a six-play, 76-yard drive.Jordan, Louisville’s top rusher last season with 815 yards, carried seven times for 135 yards, includi...

ATLANTA (AP) — Ronald Acuña Jr. hit two of Atlanta’s five home runs, Matt Olson increased his major league-leading total to 47 and the Braves beat slumping Adam Wainwright and the St. Louis Cardinals 8-5 on Thursday night.Acuña raised his season total to 34 homers with his third multihomer game this season and the 12th of his big league career. Olson homered for his fourth straight game, and Michael Harris II and Travis d’Arnaud also went deep for major league-best Atlanta (91-48), which leads second-place Philadelphia by 14 games in the NL East.“A great teammate, has all the intangibles,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said of Olson. “Everything is off the charts.”Max Fried (7-1) allowed three runs and six hits in six innings, improving to 5-0 in his last seven starts. He is 5-0 in his career against the Cardinals.“I was a little surprised after the first two innings I got through six,” Fried said. “It is never ideal when your offense gives you a 3-0 lead to give it right...

Colombia gana por la mínima a Venezuela y comienza con buen pie su camino al Mundial

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:02:16 GMT

(CNN Español) –– El partido que disputaron Colombia y Venezuela este jueves en Barranquilla, por la primera fecha de las eliminatorias sudamericanas al Mundial de 2026, tuvo todos los ingredientes de las primeras citas: mucho nerviosismo, poca claridad (en el caso de Colombia, para encontrar la forma de plasmar en el terreno la idea de juego del seleccionador Néstor Lorenzo), escasa compenetración y varias equivocaciones que se pudieron pagar caro. Pero los cafeteros tenían enfrente a Venezuela, la única selección de Conmebol que todavía no ha podido asistir a un Mundial y que demostró que aún le falta mucho para dar ese paso.Colombia tenía una deuda consigo misma. La selección quedó afuera de la última Copa del Mundo por errores propios. La falta de gol ––encadenó siete partidos sin anotar en el camino a Qatar 2022–– condenó a sus muy buenos futbolistas a mirar el Mundial por televisión. Quizás por eso Lorenzo no quiso perder tiempo. Después de una primera parte en la que Venezuela...

‘Sitting in Bars with Cake’ falls flat

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:02:16 GMT

Based on a book by Audrey Shulman and adapted by Shulman, the mediocre effort “Sitting in Bars with Cake” memorializes a pastime known as “cake-barring.” That is, going to bars with a cake for fellow bar-goers to sample, especially men. I did not know it was a thing. But according to “Sitting in Bars with Cake,” a Prime Video effort featuring Yara Shahidi of TV’s “Black-ish,” Odessa A’zion (“Hellraiser”), Bette Midler and Ron Livingston, it is.In the film, Shahidi and A’zion are Los Angeles best friends Jane and Corinne, respectively. Jane bakes delicious cakes while avoiding applying to UCLA or USC law school as her lawyer parents (Navid Negahban and Adina Porter) desperately want. Corinne works in a music agency across from the iconic Capitol Records building as an assistant to the powerful, legendary and seemingly terrifying agent Benita (Midler). Corinne longs to be promoted to junior agent and keeps pitching ideas to Betina, who shoots down Corinne’s lat...

Editorial: Herald endorses Jerome King, John FitzGerald for City Council

Call it coincidence or karma, but the trio of Boston City Councilors embroiled in recent scandals are all up for re-election this fall. We’ve weighed in on the races for District 5 (Ricardo Arroyo, incumbent), and District 6 (Kendra Lara, incumbent), and we complete the hat trick with Tania Fernandes Anderson, running for her District 7 seat.Fernandes Anderson made her mark by admitting to violating the state’s conflict of interest law by hiring her sister and son to paid positions on her staff. She agreed to pay a $5,000 fine.The State Ethics Commission said in July that Fernandes Anderson appointed her sister and son to full-time positions in 2022, her first year on the City Council. She also chose to increase their salaries, and in the case of her sister, award a $7,000 bonus.Her oops-apology came in a tweet: “I messed up and should have paid attention to those training videos.”The ethical edict of not hiring relatives and giving them raises should be a moral given.It...

Millard: ‘Flash mob’ retail theft closes stores, funds cartels

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:02:16 GMT

“This is crazy,” said Noel Escobar as he pulled out his mobile phone and started filming thieves ransacking the Nordstrom store at Topanga Mall in Los Angeles.His video showed a gang in masks and hoodies breaking open glass displays and grabbing clothes, purses and luxury goods. The band of thieves barged out of mall doors while a security guard watched nearby.“This is nuts,” Escobar muttered as they fled.The scene is hardly unique in America in 2023. Near Charlotte, N.C., hammer-wielding thugs recently bashed in a Kohl’s jewelry display in broad daylight. In Glendale, Calif., 30 robbers committed a “flash mob burglary” at a Yves Saint Laurent store, stealing $300,000 in merchandise.All told, shoplifting mobs and smash-and-grab robbers are costing retailers $100 billion in losses in what law enforcement calls organized retail crime (ORC). Shoplifting today isn’t teenagers sticking a few beers in their jackets or stealing party supplies at the Food King. Instead, many robberies are e...
