BRUSSELS (AP) — European Union leaders struggled Tuesday to paper over their differences as a cacophony of opinions and reactions marred the bloc’s response to the Israel-Hamas war.But they did claim to be united behind Israel’s right to defend itself within the bounds of international law.Since the Palestinian militant group Hamas attacked southern Israel on Oct. 7, triggering the latest Gaza war, with over 4,000 dead on both sides, France has banned on pro-Palestinian demonstrations and the number of antisemitic acts has risen.Germany has ramped up security. It’s offered military help to Israel and promised to crack down on support for Hamas at home. Low-level rallies have been held in other EU countries. Both the the 27-nation bloc and the United States consider Hamas to be a terrorist organization. EU officials, meanwhile, have sent mixed messages about sending aid to the Palestinians. The bloc is their biggest aid donor and provides around 10% of the Palestini...

Maryland highway agency cited for ‘serious violation’ connected to crash that killed 6 highway workers

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:12:34 GMT

Traffic control signs were not posted near the work zone where six highway workers were killed along Interstate 695 in Baltimore County, Maryland, in March.Maryland’s Occupational Safety and Health Office cited the State Highway Administration with a “serious violation,” which according to the report is a violation “where there is a substantial probability that that death or serious physical harm could result.”The report, issued Sept. 21, also stated that the failure to place signs near the work zone near Woodlawn left the work crew there exposed to “struck-by hazards.”There are no penalties associated with the citation.George Simmers, a former Maryland State Highway engineer who retired from the agency in 2011, said he was stunned by the finding.“To have no signing? I mean, that is ridiculous,” he said. “It really is.”Simmers was also critical of the configuration of the work zone along the section of I-695 near Wood...

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — For a conference with teams about to scatter in all directions, the Pac-12 sure looks rosy at the moment.Overall attendance is up around the league through the halfway mark ( thanks, Deion Sanders ). Ratings, too, are booming (tip of the cap to Sanders again). The league also has six teams in the Top 25, including No. 5 Washington in a great position to earn a place in the College Football Playoff. The Pac-12 even has a chance at a second straight Heisman Trophy winner (Washington QB Michael Penix Jr. is among the favorites ).Of course, there’s Sanders again, the Colorado coach who wins these days even when his team doesn’t. Less than a day after the Buffaloes’ colossal collapse against Stanford, “ Saturday Night Live ” did a parody of Sanders with the actor in the skit decked out in Colorado gear and sunglasses. Now that’s prime marketing for the school.The conference remains on quite a roll even as it’s about to wave goodbye to most of...
