Orioles reset: With health and hard hits, Austin Hays showing what he’s capable of

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:56:15 GMT

To Austin Hays, the aspects of his game that prompted the Orioles to send him to the minors to open the 2019 season are the same ones that have allowed him to get off to a strong start four years later.There’s the improvement in plate discipline, buying into the organization’s swing decision-focused approach. An aggressive hitter, he’s worked to hone that mindset into only pitches he can do damage on. But the most significant trait that is fueling an impressive two months, Hays said, is health.After garnering a reputation as injury-prone early in his career, Hays is approaching two years since his last injured list stint, playing through severe cuts, bruises and muscles tears in that time.“I would rather go out and perform maybe at a lower level than what I feel like I can if I’m capable of playing,” Hays said. “I still feel like I can give the team a really good chance to win, even if I’m not at 100%.“I take a tremendous pride i...

Iran supreme leader says he’d ‘welcome’ full diplomatic ties with Egypt; presidency websites hacked

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:56:15 GMT

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran’s supreme leader said Monday he’d “welcome” the restoration of full diplomatic ties between Egypt and the Islamic Republic, raising the prospect of Cairo and Tehran normalizing relations after decades of strain.The comments by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei came as a series of websites linked to Iran’s presidency bore the images of two leaders of an exiled opposition group Monday, with others showing the pictures of Khamenei and President Ebrahim Raisi crossed out. Iranian state television quoted Khamenei’s comments as coming from a meeting he held with the visiting sultan of Oman, Haitham bin Tariq. Sultan Haitham’s trip to Tehran, his first since assuming power in 2020, comes as Muscat long has served as an interlocutor between Tehran and the West. There have been growing signs of Egypt and Iran potentially restoring ties, particularly as Saudi Arabia and Iran reached a détente in March with Chinese mediation after year...

‘Tony’ Yasumura reveals all about his not-naked shtick and its origins in Japanese comedy

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:56:15 GMT

TOKYO (AP) — The shtick that’s gone viral features a soccer player, a Spice Girl, James Bond, you name it, appearing to be naked, except they’re not really naked at all.The disarming sight gag by Japanese comic Tonikaku Akarui Yasumura is simple and rather silly. But its bare-all message about the deceptiveness of what meets the eye has a lot of people laughing. The recent appearance of Tony, as Yasumura is known these days, on “Britain’s Got Talent” has drawn more than 10 million views on the audition show’s YouTube account.“Do it with a majestically dignified and utterly unfounded confidence,” he told The Associated Press recently in Tokyo, of the secret to his comedy. “That gets over because what you’re doing is such nonsense.”Yasumura has been doing his trademark act for nearly a decade on TV shows and comedy houses around Japan.He stands before the audience wearing only a pink flower-patterned bathing suit and declares he will portray a certain person posing naked.T...

ZVECAN, Kosovo (AP) — Ethnic Serbs in northern Kosovo clashed with police at a municipal building on Monday as they tried to take over one of the local communes where ethnic Albanian mayors entered last week with the help of authorities.The violence was the latest incident as tensions soared over the past week, with Serbia putting the country’s military on high alert and sending more troops to the border with Kosovo, which declared independence in 2008.Kosovo and Serbia have been foes for decades, with Belgrade refusing to recognize Kosovo’s sovereignty. The United States and the European Union have stepped up efforts to help solve the Kosovo-Serbia dispute, fearing further instability in Europe as Russia’s war rages in Ukraine. The EU has made it clear to both Serbia and Kosovo they must normalize relations to advance in their intentions to join the bloc.On Monday, Kosovar police and the NATO-led Kosovo Force, or KFOR, were seen protecting the municipality buildin...

MN Legislature doubles funding for student homebuilding program

As a student at an alternative high school on St. Paul’s West Side, Ivan Sanchez hasn’t just hit the books. He’s also learned the ins and outs of mudding, painting, sanding, insulation and all the other particulars that went into building a four-bedroom, 2,000-square-foot, environmentally sustainable house that some have billed as the home of the future.The two-story structure soon will hit the market in the same neighborhood where Sanchez goes to school, with an income eligibility ceiling geared to middle-class families.“A lot of people liked the opportunity,” Sanchez, a 17-year-old student at Change Inc.’s GAP School, said while standing in front of the school project he’s spent the last year constructing from the ground up on Page Street. “I definitely did. It’s probably a career path I’ll take.”During tours last week with a host of elected officials, arguably the only person prouder of his accomplishment — w...

Ask Amy: Dating is tough; social media makes it tougher

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:56:15 GMT

Dear Amy: I am a 45-year-old divorced woman with a fairly active social media presence.After my divorce, I dated someone with no social media, so it was easy.After that ended, I met someone through a friend. He immediately suggested that we connect on Facebook.We’ve been out quite a few times and it’s been great, but he’s dating other people. That’s fine — and I’m open to seeing other people, too.I’m not even sure of my feelings for him, but seeing posts about his various dates and his active social life makes me uncomfortable.I can tell who else he’s dating from his posts.It makes me curious and jealous in a way that I don’t like.What do people these days do about social media when they’re dating, but not settled?Should I mute him? Not connect with people on social media until the relationship is serious?I know people talk about social media being toxic to teenagers, but I think the age range should be extended!What’s the protoc...
