By Susie Blann and Elise Morton | Associated PressKYIV, Ukraine — The head of the Russian private military contractor Wagner claimed Thursday that his forces have started pulling out of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine and handing over control to the Russian military, days after he said Wagner troops had captured the ruined city.Yevgeny Prigozhin, a convicted criminal and Wagner’s millionaire owner with longtime links to Russian President Vladimir Putin, said in a video published on Telegram that the handover would be completed by June 1. Russia’s Defense Ministry didn’t confirm this and it wasn’t possible independently to verify whether Wagner’s pullout from the bombed-out city has begun after a nine-month battle that killed tens of thousands of people. Prigozhin said his troops would now rest in camps, repair equipment and await further orders.Ukraine’s deputy defense minister, Hanna Maliar, said Thursday that regular Russian troops had replaced Wagne...

Kurtenbach: LeBron James to the Warriors is a fun but terrible trade idea

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 20:21:54 GMT

LeBron James to the Warriors?I‘ve heard worse suggestions than the Warriors bypassing the half-measures and going all-in on old guys.But that doesn’t mean it should — or will — happen.Even if the Warriors are keen to trade Andrew Wiggins, Jordan Poole, and Jonathan Kuminga for James — and that’s what it would take — Golden State would need to know how much James could play for them.Two years?One season?Intermittently at best?That last option seems most likely.Time waits for no man — not even the self-proclaimed king.James reportedly played the season’s final three months with a torn tendon in his foot. Anyone who watched him in the playoffs could see his left foot causing him problems. James even wore a 2005 edition of his signature Nike shoes — the LeBron II — in the Lakers’ series against the Warriors, as it undoubtedly provided more support and protection than the minimalist LeBron 20 sneakers Nike designed for him this past season.LeBron wears his t...

Want an authentic home? Channel grandma

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 20:21:54 GMT

This week I came down with a severe case of nostalgia. The word, from the Greek nostos (return home) and algos (pain), perfectly captures the bittersweet agony we feel when we long to return to the place we grew up. And can’t.What tripped this recent bout was a series of exercises design psychologist Toby Israel recommends in her new book “Designing-Women’s Lives: Transforming Place and Self” (ORO Editions, $30). Notably, Israel believes you can go home again — by design. If we want to channel the best from the past and not repeat the worst, we should reflect on the homes we knew growing up.“Everyone accepts that our family of origin influences the partners we choose and how we parent,” she explains over the phone, “but no one talks about how the physical home environment affects us. There again, we either model what we grew up with or do the reverse because we didn’t like it.” Minimalists are often the product of cluttered homes.Soon I am following her exercises, writin...

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Padraig Harrington didn’t intend for the PGA Championship to be a tuneup for the senior version a week later.It could be turning out that way.Harrington shot 8-under 64 in the first competitive round at the new Texas headquarters of the PGA of America for an early two-shot lead at the Senior PGA Championship on Thursday.The 51-year-old Irishman finished 7 over at Oak Hill with an 8-over 43 on the front nine Saturday. Par instead on that wayward nine would have meant a top-20 finish, but Harrington didn’t see it that way.“I was at least a week short in preparation,” Harrington said. “I felt I was getting into it last week, but I wasn’t there. I need to do a better job when I’m away from tournaments. So, last week it definitely helped me get where I am today, no doubt about it.”Japan’s Katsumasa Miyamoto shot 66, and Alex Cejka, Charlie Wi and Richard Green were another two shots back among the early finishers at PGA Frisco’s Fields Ranch E...

Premier League’s relegation battle goes down to the wire on final day

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 20:21:54 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — One way or another, the Premier League will lose two teams with rich histories when the fight for survival reaches its conclusion on Sunday.Everton, Leicester and Leeds all face a nervous final day of the season when their places in English soccer’s top division will be at stake.Everton has spent 69 years in the top-flight and is hoping for another dramatic rescue act, having narrowly avoided relegation last season.Leicester was the architect of arguably the most unlikely title triumph — winning the Premier League as a 5000-1 underdog in 2016 — but has to hope Everton drops points at home against Bournemouth to stand any chance of climbing out of the relegation zone.Leeds, meanwhile, has only been back among England’s elite for the past three years, but has a storied past, with its team of the late 1960s and 70s winning multiple trophies during that era. At the turn of the century it was a Champions League semifinalist.Two of the three will joi...
