Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 18:06:24 GMT

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Jack Swarbrick will step down as Notre Dame’s athletic director next year after a 16-year run in which he helped the school maintain the football program’s independent status amid unprecedented realignment by some of the top conferences in the nation.Notre Dame announced Thursday that NBC Sports chairman Pete Bevacqua will succeed Swarbrick. Bevacqua, a 1993 Notre Dame alumnus, will join the university July 1 as a special assistant to the president for athletics before takin over the athletic department sometime in the first quarter of 2024.“It speaks volumes about Notre Dame and Father Jenkins’ leadership that we can implement such a well-conceived succession plan and attract someone of Pete’s talent and experience,” Swarbrick said. “I have worked closely with Pete throughout his time at NBC and based on that experience, I believe he has the perfect skill set to help Notre Dame navigate the rapidly changing landscape that is college athletics today, an...

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 18:06:24 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Jack Draper will miss Wimbledon because of a shoulder injury that forced him out of the French Open.The 21-year-old British player said Thursday he needs time to recover from his latest injury setback.At Roland Garros last Monday, Draper retired from his first-round match against Tomas Martin Etcheverry while trailing by a set and 1-0.The 6-foot-4 left-hander, who is ranked 55th, had hoped to make his third appearance at the All England Club next month.“It’s clear my shoulder is going to need time and rehab to get back to where it needs to be,” Draper wrote on Instagram. “My team and I have made the difficult decision to miss the grass court season this year.”In March at Indian Wells, Draper retired from his fourth-round match against Carlos Alcaraz because of a stomach muscle injury. A hamstring injury ended Draper’s run to the third round of last year’s U.S. Open.“I guess in this sport there are so many ups and downs but this one is tough to take,” ...

Kosovo complains of biased western envoys in talks with its former foe Serbia

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 18:06:24 GMT

PRISTINA, Kosovo (AP) — Kosovo’s prime minister on Thursday complained of bias against his country from the United States and the European Union and tolerance of what he called Serbia’s authoritarian regime.Prime Minister Albin Kurti said his Cabinet took a different stance. “We insist that behaving well with an autocrat doesn’t make him behave better. On the contrary,” he said. The U.S. and EU envoys for the Kosovo-Serbia talks — Gabriel Escobar and Miroslav Lajcak respectively — “come to us with demands, with requests of the other side,” he said in an interview with The Associated Press.Ethnic Serbs recently clashed with Kosovo police and then the NATO-led KFOR peacekeeping force, leaving 30 soldiers and over 50 Serbs injured and provoking fears of a renewal of the region’s bloody conflicts.After the soldiers were injured last week, NATO said it would send an additional 700 troops to northern Kosovo.The clashes grew out of an earlier confrontation after ethnic Albanian candidates ...

Karolina Muchova beats Aryna Sabalenka at the French Open to reach her first Grand Slam final

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 18:06:24 GMT

PARIS (AP) — Unseeded Karolina Muchova reached her first Grand Slam final at the last place she expected, saving a match point and using a stirring comeback to grab the last five games despite dealing with leg problems for a 7-6 (5), 6-7 (5), 7-5 victory over No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka at the French Open on Thursday.Sabalenka, who won the Australian Open in January, was a point from finishing off the topsy-turvy, three-hour-plus semifinal at 5-2 in the third set but then collapsed, dropping 20 of 24 points down the stretch.It was tough to decide which was more stunning: that Sabalenka lost — or the way she lost. In Saturday’s title match, Muchova will meet either No. 1 Iga Swiatek, the defending champion, or No. 14 Beatriz Haddad Maia. Their semifinal was scheduled for later Thursday.At No. 43, Muchova is the fourth-lowest-ranked women’s finalist in French Open history.And the way she managed to get there was rather remarkable. “I just tried to keep fighting and it worked,” Muchova said....

DENVER (KDVR) -- Boulder County Sheriff Curtis Johnson tried to hold back tears as he talked about the cause of the Marshall Fire and the impact it had on the community in a press conference on Thursday. Johnson's home was one of the more than 1,000 structures that were destroyed in Colorado's most destructive wildfire."With every home that burned that day, people lost everything. All their possessions, family heirlooms were turned to ash," a visibly emotional Johnson said. "I share in that loss, as I lost my home to the Marshall Fire."Johnson said he gets a little emotional talking about the fire and the impact it's had on his family. "We are rebuilding our home, we are focused on the future, and knowing and having been exposed to all the elements and all the things that were happening that day, and watching that fire progress across our county, I know that ultimately sometimes really bad things happen," Johnson said. "And I was caught up in that and my home was lost, but I'm movin...

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 18:06:24 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- A little over 17 months after the Marshall Fire devastated communities across Boulder County, investigators released that there were two likely causes.Those combined causes were: Embers from a residential burn that was started on Dec. 24, 2021, as well as hot particles that were likely discharged from an Xcel Energy power line 2,000 feet away.

Insufficient or no evidence of crimes in either likely causeDistrict Attorney Michael Dougherty stressed that lack of evidence was the main reason charges were not filed."The law and ethical rules for prosecutors require us to only file charges when there's evidence of a crime," he said, "and when that evidence can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law."

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 18:06:24 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- Despite widespread public safety concerns, a few Denver metro suburbs are ranked some of the nation's safest - if you can afford to live there. Financial adviser site SmartAsset analyzed federal and county-level data of 370 suburbs within a 15- to 45-minute drive of the nation's 100 largest cities. These included violent crime rates, property crime rates, vehicular mortality rates, drug poisoning mortality rates and share of the population engaged in excessive drinking. Marshall Fire caused by residential burn and Xcel power line, sheriff says Castle Rock is the tenth-safest suburb in the nation, despite its property crime levels.Castle Rock has some of the best safety stats in the nation. It has the 29th lowest violent crime rate, the 17th lowest vehicular mortality rate and the 23rd lowest drug overdose rate. However, it has the 173rd lowest property crime rate - slightly better than the national average but not by much. At the tenth safest, Castle Rock is cons...

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 18:06:24 GMT

PARKLAND, Fla. (AP) — An off-duty police officer who was at Florida’s Parkland high school during the 2018 massacre testified Thursday at the trial of the deputy accused of not stopping the shooter, describing how he mistook gunshots for fireworks before realizing what was happening and approached unarmed.Coral Springs Sgt. Jeffrey Heinrich, testifying for a second day for the prosecution, said he initially thought the shots were coming from in or near the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High classroom building where the 17 murders occurred. But it wasn’t until he interviewed a wounded student several minutes after the shooting started that he knew for certain.He conceded that he never got within 200 yards (182 meters) of where former Broward Deputy Scot Peterson had taken cover on the opposite side of the building and never saw the deputy.What Peterson, 60, heard and saw on Feb. 14, 2018, is the key issue in the trial. He is charged with failing to confront shooter Nikolas Cru...
