LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) — Lionel Messi skipped Argentina’s last practice session on the eve of a World Cup qualifying match in Bolivia.The 36-year-old Inter Miami striker left Argentina’s match against Ecuador late last week complaining of fatigue, which could impact coach Lionel Scaloni’s selections for Tuesday’s match in challenging conditions at La Paz’ altitude of 3,000 meters.Scaloni told a news conference Sunday that he could leave a decision on Messi until a few hours before the match.During Monday’s training, Messi sat on a chair close to Scaloni and watched his teammates practice.

California fast food workers to get $20 minimum wage under new deal between labor and the industry

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 02:20:32 GMT

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Most fast food workers in California would be paid at least $20 per hour next year under a new bill in the state Legislature aimed at ending a standoff between the industry and labor unions over wages and working conditions. California’s minimum wage is already among the highest in the country at $15.50 per hour. The bill, filed Monday with the blessing of both labor unions and the fast food industry, would increase the minimum wage to $20 per hour for workers at restaurants in California that have at least 60 locations nationwide — with an exception for restaurants that make and sell their own bread, like Panera Bread.The bill will impact about 500,000 fast food workers in California, according to the Service Employees International Union, which has been working to unionize fast food workers in the state. They include Ingrid Vilorio, who works at a Jack In The Box in the San Francisco Bay Area. She said the raise will help her family, who until recen...

We knew that we needed to come in and set the tone right from the jump.”The 49ers (1-0) led 20-0 before allowing the Steelers to gene...

Orioles open key homestand with 11-5 rout of Cardinals led by Cedric Mullins’ go-ahead grand slam

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 02:20:32 GMT

Cedric Mullins waited for the pitch to break, then turned and unloaded. As the ball floated high through the air, some fans flung their arms up, unable to wait until it dropped over the right field fence.With one swift swing, Mullins had doubled the Orioles’ run total and given them an 8-5, fifth-inning lead over the visiting St. Louis Cardinals in the first of a seven-game homestand. The next inning, rookie Gunnar Henderson added on himself by hammering a 422-foot solo shot — his 25th home run of the season.On a night when Orioles starter Dean Kremer had a poor showing, the Orioles shined everywhere else: The offense picked up the slack, the bullpen — which remains without injured closer Félix Bautista — took care of business, and the defense was strong, highlighted by an outstanding diving catch by defensive replacement Austin Hays in the eighth.With the 11-5 victory, the Orioles improved to 91-52 and lowered their magic number to clinch a playoff spot...
