He also suffered over the years from heart ailments and prostate cancer.Under his ownership, AC Milan won 29 trophies, including eight Serie A titles and five European Cups.“All of the things I work on are profane. But Milan is sacred,” Berlusconi once said. “I remember when my dad would bring me to the stadium and I didn’t pay for a ticket because I was so small. So I repeat, Milan is a matter of love.”Berlusconi was the ultimate “presidente” in an era when Italian soccer was still a family-run business commanded by powerful men,...

Monsoon season to begin in Colorado, Southwest US

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:39:23 GMT

SAN DIEGO (KSWB) -- The Southwest U.S. monsoon season officially begins this week, which impacts parts of California, Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. According to the National Weather Service, June 15 through Sept. 30 is the recognized time period for severe weather in the geographic region. California’s second-largest reservoir reaches 100% capacity A monsoon explainedOftentimes, when we think of monsoons we associate them with torrential downpours and mudslides. Though this isn't necessarily inaccurate in some areas of the world, what describes a monsoon is more simple: the shifting of the season to summer. The word monsoon actually comes from the Arabic word mausim, which means “season.” So, a monsoon isn't an individual thunder or rainstorm, but rather a large-scale weather pattern that causes summer thunderstorms, NWS explained. They are caused by a seasonal shift in the winds. Why do winds shifts? Well, NWS says the temperature of the land and the temperature o...

Tory feud deepens as Rishi Sunak slaps down Boris Johnson

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:39:23 GMT

LONDON — British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak hit back Monday at his successor-but-one Boris Johnson amid a bitter Conservative Party row over Johnson’s bid to put his allies in the House of Lords.Sunak told an audience at London Tech Week that Johnson “asked me to do something that I wasn’t prepared to do because I didn’t think it was right” — a reference to clearing a list of names Johnson had hoped to elevate to the unelected second chamber.Johnson dramatically quit as an MP on Friday, taking aim at a parliamentary probe into his conduct in the Partygate affair and blasting Sunak’s leadership of the Conservative Party. The pair have plenty of bad blood between them, with Sunak dealing a mortal blow to Johnson’s government last year by quitting as his top finance minister.The latest feud centers on Johnson’s resignation honors list, which allows a departing prime minister to appoint people to the second chamber and gift them titles.

Chicago baseball report: Seiya Suzuki’s balancing act for Cubs — and why White Sox aren’t looking at AL Central standings

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:39:23 GMT

The Chicago Cubs can at least find some joy in that they won’t have any more three-city trips the rest of the year.Their 10-day West Coast trip to San Diego, Anaheim and San Francisco — culminating with a 13-3 loss to the Giants for a 4-6 record on the swing — did not yield the momentum needed as they claw their way back into the division.As for the White Sox, it was a tough week injury-wise. Eloy Jiménez left the second game of Thursday’s doubleheader against the New York Yankees with left lower leg discomfort. The initial prognosis was the outfielder could miss four to five games. Sunday, the Sox placed reliever Liam Hendriks on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation. An update on his status is likely by Tuesday.Every Monday throughout the season, Tribune baseball writers will provide an update on what happened — and what’s ahead for the Cubs and Sox.Seiya Suzuki’s balancing act with plate patience and called strikesSei...

Trump and his allies escalate attacks on criminal case as history-making court appearance approaches

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:39:23 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump and his allies are escalating efforts to undermine the criminal case against him and drum up protests as the former president braces for a history-making federal court appearance this week on dozens of felony charges accusing him of illegally hoarding classified information.Trump’s Tuesday afternoon appearance in Miami will mark his second time in as many months facing a judge on criminal charges. But unlike a New York case some legal analysts derided as relatively trivial, the Justice Department’s first prosecution of a former president concerns conduct that prosecutors say jeopardized national security and that involves Espionage Act charges carrying the threat of a significant prison sentence in the event of conviction.Ahead of his arraignment, Trump ratcheted up the rhetoric against the Justice Department special counsel who filed the case, calling Jack Smith “deranged” and his team of prosecutors “thugs” as he repeated with...
