By HYUNG-JIN KIM (Associated Press)SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea said its attempt to put the country’s first spy satellite into orbit failed Wednesday, an apparent embarrassment to leader Kim Jong Un over his push to boost his military capability in the protracted security tensions with the United States and South Korea.The statement published in state media said the rocket carrying the satellite crashed into waters off the Korean Peninsula’s western coast after it lost thrust following the separation of its first and second stages. It said scientists were examining the cause of the failure.The rocket was launched about 6:30 a.m. from the northwestern Tongchang-ri area, where North Korea’s main space launch center is located, the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement. South Korea’s military said the rocket had “an abnormal flight” before it fell in the waters. It also said it bolstered its military readiness in close...

Mets Notebook: Buck Showalter dealing with ‘challenge’ of providing playtime at crowded third base

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:53:11 GMT

Third base is getting a little crowded.The Mets are currently carrying three third basemen, and while two of the three have roles that don’t always require them to man the hot corner, it’s still a curious predicament that begs some questions about playing time.Brett Bay, Mark Vientos and Eduardo Escobar are all sharing some time at third base. Baty handles the position on most days because the Mets see him as their third baseman of the future. Vientos doesn’t really have a position right now other than a part-time designated hitter, but he did play one game at third over the weekend in Denver against the Colorado Rockies.It was Escobar who was at third base and batting ninth Tuesday when the Mets opened a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citi Field. The Mets have been using Baty, one of the club’s top prospects, against left-handers more often, but with Ranger Suarez on the mound, the Mets turned to Escobar, who is 3-for-5 with a double,...

CARLSBAD, Calif. -- Dozens of students at Carlsbad High School staged a walkout Tuesday morning in protest over Carlsbad Unified School District's refusal to fly the Pride flag at its headquarters during Pride month.“I felt that it was an attack to LGBTQ+ students in Carlsbad, and all-around the district, for them to try to push back voting to raise the flag, and they made excuse after excuse saying, 'oh, well, we have to consult with legal team,'" one student told FOX 5.The vote, they say, was announced last-minute and without district-wide input. It comes after controversy erupted last week in the district when a video surfaced of Carlsbad High School Assistant Principal Ethan Williams speaking to members of his church about the district's Strategic Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging plan.  Carlsbad High assistant principal shares opposition to district ‘diversity, equity, inclusion’ efforts “It shouldn't be as big of a deal as it is for someone who i...

NEW YORK (AP) — A third man has been charged in the 2002 shooting death of Run-DMC star Jam Master Jay, prosecutors said Tuesday, marking the latest movement in a case that languished for years.Federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York filed a superseding indictment on Tuesday, charging Jay Bryant, 49, in the death of Jason “Jay” Mizell, known professionally as Jam Master Jay. Two other men, Ronald Washington and Karl Jordan Jr., had previously been indicted in August 2020 for the death of Jay. The hip-hop trailblazer was shot in the head in his studio on Oct. 30, 2002.
