MADRID (AP) — Carlos Alcaraz made sure he wouldn’t be among the top seeds being upset at the Madrid Open on Tuesday, playing well from the start to secure his spot in the quarterfinals with a 6-1, 6-2 win over Alexander Zverev.After both second-seeded Daniil Medvedev and fifth-seeded Andrey Rublev lost their fourth-round matches at the clay-court tournament, Alcaraz cruised past 13th-seeded Zverev to stay on track to defend his title at home.It was a rematch of last year’s Madrid final, which Alcaraz also comfortably won against the former two-time champion in the Spanish capital.“For me it’s amazing to play the level that I played today,” Alcaraz said. “I feel really good right now and this match gives me a lot of confidence.”Alcaraz didn’t concede any break opportunities against Zverev and converted on four of the 10 break chances he had.

NUEVA YORK — La soledad generalizada en Estados Unidos plantea riesgos para la salud comparables a fumar una docena de cigarrillos al día, y cuesta miles de millones de dólares anuales a la industria de salud, indicó el martes el director de Salud Pública de Estados Unidos al declarar una nueva epidemia de salud pública.En torno a la mitad de los adultos estadounidenses dicen que han experimentado soledad, dijo el doctor Vivek Murthy en un reporte de 81 páginas de su oficina.“Ahora sabemos que la soledad es un sentimiento común que experimenta mucha gente. Es como la sed o el hambre. Es una sensación que nos transmite el cuerpo cuando falta algo que necesitamos para sobrevivir”, explicó Murthy a The Associated Press en una entrevista. “Millones de personas en Estados Unidos sufren en la sombra, y eso no está bien. Por eso emití este aviso para retirar el velo sobre una lucha que experimenta demasiada gente”. Millonario busca novia que lo acompañe en su viaje a la Luna ...

Cities with the worst commute in Colorado

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:23:44 GMT

DENVER (Stacker) — When the COVID-19 pandemic made millions of Americans remote workers, it also abruptly ended many of the commutes that bookend the workday. As some of those workers return to the office, conversations around the drawbacks of commutes have become more intense. For a while, those workers enjoyed more time in the morning and evening that wasn't spent simply traveling to and from work—an unpaid portion of the day that ate up time and energy. And it's not a small amount of time, either: Pre-pandemic, the average commute in the U.S. was a hair over 27 minutes one way, according to Census Bureau data. It was a record high. Cumulatively, 27 minutes each way translates to 54 minutes a day, or four-and-a-half hours per week. That's 18 hours a month and 216 hours a year spent commuting. Top 10 cities with the most expensive homes in Colorado Those who commute know it's not particularly idyllic. While a very small portion of workers live in the ideal scenario—a short, walka...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Apple and Google are teaming up to thwart unwanted tracking through Bluetooth devices that were created to help people find lost keys, keep tabs on luggage or to locate other things that have a tendency to be misplaced or lost.The two companies behind the iPhone and the software that powers Android phones on Tuesday submitted a proposal to set standards for combatting secret surveillance on Apple’s AirTag trackers and similar gadgets.

 (CNN) — A Minnesota judge found former Minneapolis police officer Tou Thao guilty of aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter for his role keeping bystanders back in the May 2020 killing of George Floyd, according to court documents filed Monday.In a 177-page verdict, Judge Peter Cahill wrote that Thao “actively encouraged his three colleagues’ dangerous prone restraint of Floyd” contrary to his training that the positioning could cause fatal asphyxia.“Like the bystanders, Thao could see Floyd’s life slowly ebbing away as the restraint continued,” Cahill wrote in the verdict. “Yet Thao made a conscious decision to actively participate in Floyd’s death: he held back the concerned bystanders and even prevented an off-duty Minneapolis firefighter from rendering the medical aid Floyd so desperately needed.”The decision marks the end of a series of state and federal trials for the four former officers involved i...
