In the city that popularized “The Process” in the NBA, the Orioles displayed Monday night the continued success of their rebuild.Dean Kremer, acquired in the 2018 trade that sent Manny Machado to the Los Angeles Dodgers, pitched brilliantly. Jordan Westburg, drafted in the first round of the 2020 MLB draft, hit his first career home run. And, most pivotally, Colton Cowser — picked in the first round of the 2021 draft — hit a ninth-inning double to score 2019 second-round selection Gunnar Henderson.The Orioles beat the Phillies, 3-2, improving to an American League-best 62-38 and moving 2.5 games ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL East.In the 2010s, the Philadelphia 76ers became known for their emphasis on rebuilding when the pro basketball team suffered through several losing seasons while they collected draft picks. They have now put together six straight playoff appearances — although they’ve yet to reach the conference finals in that span.Th...

New San Diego task force aims to end patient assault toward health care workers

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:43:23 GMT

SAN DIEGO -- Workplace violence in the health care industry has skyrocketed across the country and San Diego leaders are looking at ways to help keep employees at local providers safe.A recent study found that nearly 40% of health care workers cited experiencing workplace violence within the last two years. That trend holds true here in San Diego, with data from Scripps Health showing at least one staff member is harmed on the job by a patient every day across the provider's locations. SDG&E customers could see reduced rates next year “The most dangerous thing I do every day, in my entire life, is walk into that building," Dr. Roneet Lev, an emergency room physician at Scripps Mercy Hospital in Hillcrest, shared with FOX 5 while outside the campus. Lev was once attacked on the job by a patient. She described the incident as a nearly inevitable fate, with her 30 years of experience in the industry. “They called the SWAT team after that incident and it was scary," Lev continued....

Two teachers called out far-right activities at their German school. Then they had to leave town.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:43:23 GMT

BURG, Germany (AP) — Two teachers in eastern Germany tried to counter the far-right activities of students at their small town high school. They counseled bullies who threatened to beat up immigrant classmates. They gave more lessons about their country’s Nazi past. They invited in a Black rapper to talk about mutual respect.None of it helped. In desperation, Laura Nickel and Max Teske wrote a public letter in which they described an atmosphere of intimidation at Mina Witkojc School in Burg. They reported students greeting each other with the Nazi salute, scratching swastikas on their desks and playing music with racist lyrics in the hallways. “Teachers and students who openly fight against far-right students and teachers fear for their safety,” the two said in the letter they sent to local newspapers. “The problem has to be recognized and openly fought. Schools should be places free of fear, full of open-mindedness and safety for everyone and cannot provide a home for t...

Youth coach hopes Women’s World Cup raises soccer’s profile for Maori people in New Zealand

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:43:23 GMT

HAMILTON, New Zealand (AP) — When New Zealand kicked off in the Women’s World Cup opener against Norway last weeek, just three of the 23 Football Ferns traced their roots to the Indigenous Maori people.By contrast, when the Kiwis hosted the Women’s Rugby World Cup last year, more than half of the players on its 30-person championship team were Indigenous.The sport of soccer sits far behind rugby in the national consciousness of New Zealand, and Maori representation in coaching is even smaller by comparison. But a youth coach is among those leading the charge to change the landscape of soccer in New Zealand, and sports more broadly for the Maori people.Tarena Ranui is one of the leading youth coaches in New Zealand and the 2019 junior coach of the year. She works at Ngaruawahia High School, a mostly Maori school 20 minutes outside of Hamilton in the Waikato region.Until a year ago, the school had no air conditioning or heating. Buckets collected rainwater from leaky roofs. The 45-yea...

South Korea’s Casey Phair becomes the youngest ever World Cup player at 16 years and 26 days of age

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:43:23 GMT

SYDNEY (AP) — Throughout South Korea’s Women’s World Cup opener against Colombia on Tuesday, players stayed loose behind the goal. Early in the 78th minute, one player broke away from the group. Casey Phair, at 16 years and 26 days, stepped onto the field and became the youngest player to do so in a World Cup — women’s or men’s.“Going on, I was really, really nervous,” said Phair, who has an American father and a South Korean mother and was raised in the United States. “It was a scary moment, but then going on and running around, I think it just settled in.”The record previously was held by the late Ifeanyi Chiejine, who was 16 years and 34 days old when she played for Nigeria in the 1999 Women’s World Cup.In the 17 minutes she spent on the field in South Korea’s 2-0 loss, Phair was near the ball at all times, competing with Colombian players for possession every chance she got.“She deserved the chance to play,” South Korea’s head coach Collin Bell said. “She...

Anger grows in Ukraine’s port city of Odesa after Russian bombardment hits beloved historic sites

ODESA, Ukraine (AP) — Tetiana Khlapova’s hand trembled as she recorded the wreckage of Odesa’s devastated Transfiguration Cathedral on her cellphone and cursed Russia, her native land.Khlapova was raised in Ukraine and had always dreamed of living in the seaside city. But not as the war refugee that she has become.In only a week, Russia has fired dozens of missiles and drones at the Odesa region. None struck quite as deeply as the one that destroyed the cathedral, which stands at the heart of the city’s romantic, notorious past and its deep roots in both Ukrainian and Russian culture.“I am a refugee from Kharkiv. I endured that hell and came to sunny Odesa, the pearl, the heart of our Ukraine,” said Khlapova, who has lived in the country for 40 of her 50 years.Her neck still has a shrapnel scar from the third day of the war, when her apartment was hit. On Day 4, she fled to Odesa.Now, she’s making a quick trip back to her place in Kharkiv to grab winter clothes so she can wait...
