The Foo Fighters had a special surprise in store for fans on Day 2 (Saturday, Aug. 12) at the Outside Lands festival in San Francisco.The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame act, led by Dave Grohl, brought out a special guest star to perform with them.And, no, the guest star wasn’t Steph Curry, the Warriors all-star who many people keep expecting to show up at some point during the three-day festival, which continues through Sunday at Golden Gate Park. (Curry didn’t make an appearance during fellow NBA icon Shaquille O’Neal’s set on Friday, but maybe he will perform with collaborator Tobe Nwigwe on Sunday.)The guest who appeared with the Foos on Saturday night was none other than Michael Buble.No, really. We’re being totally serious.The famed Canadian crooner, known for his stylish work on traditional pop standards and the Great American Songbook, came out onstage during the Foos’ roughly 2-hour set on the festival’s big Lands End stage.Related Artic...Mountcastle’s hit in the 10th gives Orioles a 1-0 win over Mariners, snaps Seattle’s win streak

SYDNEY (AP) — Sarina Wiegman is in a unique position at the Women’s World Cup, where she’s the only female head coach still in contention for the title.That was the case even before England advanced to the semifinals, by beating Colombia 2-1, with Wiegman also the outlier from the eight teams that reached the quarterfinals. “Of course what we hope is to get more female football coaches at the top level and the balance gets better than it is right now,” Wiegman said. “Of course males are welcome too. There are lots of males who have done a very good job in the women’s game, but if the balance is better that will also inspire other women to start coaching.”Women’s soccer is growing at pace. This World Cup has seen record attendance, rising talent from around the globe and showcased a closing of the gap between the sport’s traditional elite and emerging nations. Yet the disparity in the coaching ranks has also been laid bare. Of the 32 nations that started...Excompañera de fórmula del asesinado candidato presidencial dice que es un ‘momento inquietante’ para la región y para la democracia

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland’s ruling party wants to ask voters in a referendum whether they support accepting “thousands of illegal immigrants from the Middle East and Africa” as part of a European Union relocation plan, the prime minister said Sunday, as his conservative party seeks to stave off a challenge from the political opposition.Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced the referendum question in a new video published on social media. It indicated that his party, Law and Justice, is seeking to use migration in his general election campaign, a tactic that helped it take power in 2015.The government has previously said it wants to hold the referendum alongside the fall parliamentary election, scheduled for Oct. 15. Leaders have announced two other questions in recent days.Morawiecki said that the question would say: “Do you support the admission of thousands of illegal immigrants from the Middle East and Africa under the forced relocation mechanism imposed by the European ...4 people dead and 1 missing after explosion destroys 3 structures in western Pennsylvania

(CNN) — La segunda vuelta presidencial de Guatemala el 20 de agosto verá a una ex primera dama competir contra el hijo de un expresidente, culminando una carrera problemática que ha preocupado a los observadores sobre el futuro del país, ya que la desigualdad y la corrupción generan turbulencia política en toda la región.Sandra Torres, vista en gran medida como candidata de continuidad para el establecimiento político, competirá contra el candidato anticorrupción Bernardo Arévalo, quien desafió las predicciones al terminar en segundo lugar en la primera ronda de votación en junio.Torres ganó el 16% de la primera vuelta en junio y Arévalo obtuvo el 11,8% de los votos emitidos. Aún así, más del 24% de los votantes emitieron votos en blanco o inválidos y alrededor del 40% de los votantes registrados se abstuvieron, lo que los analistas han atribuido a los altos niveles de desencanto con el sistema electoral de Guatemala luego de que el Estado descalificara a los candidatos de la ...UK minister wants clampdown on ‘gender-neutral’ bathrooms

LONDON — U.K. developers could be required to provide separate male and female bathrooms under draft rules to be unveiled on Monday, amid claims by a U.K. minister that a move towards “gender neutral” facilities is removing the “fundamental right” to “privacy and dignity” for women and girls. Kemi Badenoch, who is Britain’s women and equalities minister, as well as business and trade secretary, said Sunday that the proposed new regulations would apply to new non-residential and public buildings.Under the proposals, which will be published in draft form on Monday, separate single-sex toilet facilities would need to be provided for men and women “and/or” a self-contained private toilet installed. “These proposals will ensure every new building in England is required to provide separate male and female or unisex facilities, and publish guidance to explain the difference, protecting the dignity, privacy and safety of all,”...Latest news
