WASHINGTON — Cientos de estadounidenses huyendo de dos semanas de combates mortales en Sudán, llegaron el sábado al puerto del país africano en el primer desalojo operado por Estados Unidos, tras completar la peligrosa travesía terrestre escoltados por drones armados.Aeronaves no tripuladas estadounidenses, que durante días han observado las rutas de desalojo terrestre, proporcionaron vigilancia armada a un autobús que trasladaba entre 200 y 300 estadounidenses a lo largo de 500 millas (800 kilómetros) a Puerto Sudán, un lugar de relativa seguridad, informaron funcionarios estadounidenses.Estados Unidos, que no tenía funcionarios en tierra para el desalojo, ha sido criticado por los familiares de los estadounidenses atrapados en Sudán por inicialmente descartar cualquier evacuación operada por Estados Unidos de los 16,000 estadounidenses que se calcula que están en Sudán y quieren salir. Sumergidos en el terror: miles evacúan Sudán, mientras otros buscan refugio ...

Stars moving on, motivated by payback for hit on Pavelski

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 08:08:31 GMT

Dallas got the best payback against the Wild for their hit on Joe Pavelski in the series opener. The Stars are going to the second round of the NHL playoffs.“The immediate reaction of your group is everyone wants revenge,” first-year Stars coach Pete DeBoer said. “We wanted to try and get the temperature down on that, as quickly as we could, and get our focus back. The best thing we could do for Pavs is win the series and let him play again.”Their 38-year-old center will get to do that, against either Colorado or Seattle, after the Stars wrapped up their series with a 4-1 win in Game 6 Friday night in Minnesota.“Go back to my third-line duties now,” veteran center Tyler Seguin said after his four power-play goals in the series. Once Pavelski went into concussion protocol after Game 1, Seguin joined the top line with Roope Hintz and Jason Robertson in the series against the Wild. The only Stars player who has won a Stanley Cup, Seguin also had a more prominent role on the power play....

Dean Kremer’s struggles continue as Orioles drop doubleheader opener to Tigers, 7-4

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 08:08:31 GMT

Dean Kremer allowed three earned runs or fewer in his final 10 outings of a breakout 2022 season. His search for that level of consistency continued Saturday.In the Orioles’ 7-4 loss to open a doubleheader with the Detroit Tigers, Kremer gave up five runs and a career-high 11 hits in five innings. In five of his six starts, he has allowed at least four earned runs and now has a 6.67 ERA despite all but one of his outings coming against teams that entered Saturday with losing records.“So far, it’s been frustrating,” Kremer said. “I feel like my stuff is continuously getting better, command of it also slowly getting better, but just got to find a way to miss more barrels.”Those struggles now include the Tigers (10-15), who the Orioles (17-9) had beaten in each of their first four matchups. Detroit went to work early on ending that skid, scoring a run and loading the bases on a walk and three hits softer than 71 mph, the last of which was a slow roll...

How Tom Thibodeau helped create the Jimmy Butler monster that Knicks now must stop

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 08:08:31 GMT

Brian Scalabrine was summoned to Tom Thibodeau’s office in 2012 and the coach was fuming about a spot on ESPN Radio in Chicago.“He’s like, what the f—k are you doing going on the radio, giving them bulletin board material to use against Jimmy Butler?” Scalabrine, then a forward under Thibodeau with the Bulls, recalled to the Daily News. “He’s like, ‘You want to do radio interviews?’ I can make that happen tomorrow. You can do nothing but radio interviews.’”The subject of Scalabrine’s interview was Butler’s breakout stretch as a rookie midseason, when Luol Deng was injured and Butler, the 30th overall pick out of Marquette, helped the Bulls beat the Jazz, Knicks and Heat.Those performances awakened Scalabrine to the intensity and competitive spirit of Butler, the traits that carried the small forward to a certain Hall of Fame induction and, beginning with Game 1 on Sunday at Madison Square Garden, a second-...
