Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:41:54 GMT

Southern California’s JuJu Watkins says she is trying not to get caught up the considerable expectations that have accompanied the start of her college career.“I don’t worry too much about what other people think I should do or how they think I should approach the game,” Watkins told reporters at the Pac-12 Media Day event. “Just always thinking of my goals and how I plan to approach the game. Ultimately the team goal is to win, and that’s what I’m focused on.”That approach has worked wonders for her so far. Watkins was named the USA Today high school player of the year.

Bayern coach waiting on Upamecano and Goretzka’s fitness to fill hole in defense for ‘Klassiker’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:41:54 GMT

MUNICH (AP) — Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel is facing a tense wait to see whether Dayot Upamecano or Leon Goretzka can return from injuries in time to fill a hole in defense for Saturday’s “Klassiker” at Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga.Tuchel’s plans for the game were thrown into disarray when central defender Matthijs de Ligt injured his knee in Wednesday’s 2-1 upset loss at third-division Saarbruecken in the German Cup. It remains to be seen whether Upamecano or Goretzka can return in time to partner Kim Min-jae in the center of the four-man back line. Upamecano hasn’t played since the French center back injured his hamstring on Oct. 8, while Goretzka needed surgery last month on a fracture in his hand and would have to play wearing a piece of protective equipment.Tuchel said Bayern will decide “very, very late” as the club weighs up the players’ fitness and the importance of the Dortmund game against any effect on the other nine games before ...

RABAT, Morocco (AP) — Archaeologists have unearthed more ancient ruins of what they believe was once a bustling port city near the capital of modern-day Morocco, digging out thermal baths and working class neighborhoods that the country hopes will lure tourists and scholars in the years ahead.On Friday, researchers from Morocco’s National Institute of Archaeological Sciences and Heritage presented new discoveries made this year at Chellah — a 1.2-square-mile (3.15-square-kilometer) UNESCO World Heritage Site with a footprint almost five times the size of Pompeii.Scholars believe the area was first settled by the Phoenicians and emerged as a key Roman empire outpost from the second to fifth century. The fortified necropolis and surrounding settlements were built near the Atlantic Ocean along the banks of the Bou Regreg river. Findings have included bricks inscribed in neo-Punic, a language that predates the Romans’ arrival in Morocco.The main excavation site has been closed for...

How much rain and snow did Colorado get during the 2023 water year?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:41:54 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado entered a new water year on Oct. 1, and now we are getting a look at how extremes like the wet and stormy spring of 2023 impacted the whole year. Unlike a calendar year that starts over each January, the water runs from Oct. 1 through Sept. 30. During that time, most of the country saw abnormally warm temperatures. Across the United States, the 2022-2023 water year is now officially the 17th warmest on record. In Colorado, temperatures weren't quite as extreme. Record keeping goes back to 1896, and this year, Colorado reported its 60th warmest year. While this is a pretty middle-of-the-road ranking, it is the coolest Colorado water year since 2010.Along with temperatures, the end of the water year is also a time to look at precipitation. Colorado saw the 31st wettest year, out of 128 since record keeping began. In portions of Weld, Morgan, Boulder, Adams, Denver, Arapahoe, Washington, Elbert, Douglas, and El Paso counties there was record amounts of ...
