Pacquiao’s comeback falls short as Barrios retains WBC welterweight title in majority draw

July 19, 2025

Manny Pacquiao lost by majority draw to Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight title. One judge gave Barrios a narrow 115-113 win Saturday. Pacquiao, recently inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame, was attempting to reclaim the title at age 46 after nearly four years out of the ring. The pro-Pacquiao crowd booed the decision. Barrios, now 29-2-2, retained his title despite criticism of his performance. In the co-main event, Sebastian Fundora dominated Tim Tszyu, retaining his WBC super welterweight title after Tszyu didn’t continue past the eighth round.

July 19, 2025

Napheesa Collier sets a scoring record in the WNBA All-Star Game, leading her team to victory over Team Clark. The game, filled with 4-point shots and minimal defense, broke the previous scoring record for an All-Star Game. This year’s event also highlighted ongoing collective bargaining agreement negotiations, with players wearing shirts demanding fair pay. Caitlin Clark, sidelined by injury, served as an ambassador for the weekend. The game featured unique rules like a 20-second shot clock and live substitutions. Rookies Paige Bueckers, Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen made history as the largest rookie group since 2011. Celebrities and WNBA legends attended.

Memory cafes at the National Comedy Center ignite laughter and connection for dementia patients

July 19, 2025

The National Comedy Center has begun hosting regular “Memory Cafes,” inviting people with conditions like dementia and Alzheimer’s through the western New York museum to share laughs and connection. The Alzheimer’s Association estimates more than 7 million older Americans are living with Alzheimer’s dementia, and an even higher number of people care for them. Memory cafes have emerged around the world as a way to connect and support individuals and caregivers. The National Comedy Center held its first one earlier this year. Comedy Center staff say they heard from caregivers that loved ones with memory loss became more communicative while walking through the displays.

Officials in a Texas hill country community pummeled by deadly flooding on July 4 say just three people remain missing, down from nearly 100. The announcement comes after people who had previously been reported missing have since been accounted for. The reduction in the number of people on the missing list comes as the search for victims entered its third week. It is a significant drop from the more than 160 people officials previously said were unaccounted for in Kerr County alone.

Braves closer Raisel Iglesias, who hadn’t given up a run in 15 appearances, took the loss. Luke Weaver earned the win with 1 2/3 scoreless innings in relief.

July 19, 2025

Georgia Amoore went to an international basketball camp at the 2019 Final Four and was seen for one of the first times by Virginia Tech coaches. That led to a scholarship at the school where the Australian guard eventually led the Hokies their first Final Four four years later. Now the Washington Mystics rookie is an instructor at a Basketball Without Borders, which is in its third year, that’s connected to the WNBA All-Star Game this weekend.

Family of a man crushed at an Atlanta homeless encampment sues the city

July 19, 2025

The family of Cornelius Taylor, a homeless man killed when a bulldozer crushed his tent during an encampment sweep, has sued Atlanta. The lawsuit, filed Friday, accuses city employees of failing to check tents for occupants before clearing the area. Taylor, 46, died from severe injuries, including a broken pelvis and internal bleeding. The sweep was conducted ahead of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. Advocates have criticized the city’s approach to homelessness, calling it inhumane. The family seeks damages and accountability, urging leaders to treat homeless people with dignity. Atlanta officials have not commented on the lawsuit.

Denny Hamlin vows 23XI Racing will go on, answers will come in December in court battle with NASCAR

July 19, 2025

NASCAR race team owner Denny Hamlin remained undeterred in the wake of another setback in court, vowing “all will be exposed” in the scheduled December trial as part of 23XI Racing’s federal suit against the auto racing series. A federal judge has denied a request from 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports to race with charters while battling NASCAR in court. This decision means their six cars will compete as open entries at Dover this weekend and Indianapolis next week. The teams argue this move risks their businesses, as charters guarantee race spots and base payouts.

Officials are confirming Saturday that a tenth person has died after the fire that tore through an assisted-living facility in Massachusetts last weekend. Bristol County District Attorney Thomas Quinn III says that 66-year-old Brenda Cropper died Friday at a hospital. Quinn says she had been in critical condition all week. The fire erupted Sunday evening, leaving some residents hanging out windows of the three-story facility screaming for help. The cause remains under investigation, but Quinn’s office says it does not appear suspicious. Fire officials say the blaze started in a room on the second floor.

What does one do on their last day as a ballerina? Gillian Murphy jumped off a cliff (gracefully)

July 19, 2025

After a career of nearly three decades, one of America’s most celebrated ballerinas is hanging up her pointe shoes. American Ballet Theatre’s Gillian Murphy joined the company at 17 and is retiring at age 46. Noted for her technical abilities as well as her longevity, Murphy chose to go out with one of the most challenging roles in all of ballet: the dual swan queen role in “Swan Lake.” She performed for a cheering crowd Friday night at the Metropolitan Opera House, where fellow dancers feted her onstage afterwards in a blur of bouquets, hugs and glittery confetti.

Playing the All-Star Game at home creates special feeling for Kelsey Mitchell, Indiana Fever players

July 19, 2025

Indiana Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell spent last week tamping down the All-Star excitement. First, she had to play some crucial games. She finally had a chance Friday to show how she felt about playing Saturday’s game on her home court. Her eyes opened wide, the trademark grin stretched across her face and the words started flying out of her mouth. Not all home All-Star Games are created equal. Just ask some of the players who’ve been there and done that. But for the eight-year veteran who finally made her first playoff appearance last year, this one will be special.

Gene therapy maker Sarepta tells FDA it won’t halt shipments despite patient deaths

July 19, 2025

Drugmaker Sarepta Therapeutics says it won’t comply with a request from U.S. regulators to halt all shipments of its gene therapy. The Food and Drug Administration made the request Friday after the confirmation of a third death receiving one of its treatments for muscular dystrophy. The company’s decision not to comply is highly unusual. The FDA says officials met with Sarepta executives and requested the halt in sales. Sarepta says in a statement that its scientific review showed no new safety concerns for younger patients with Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy. The company said it plans to keep the drug, Elevidys, available for those patients.

How a federal monument’s new welcome center in Maine honors Native Americans

July 19, 2025

A new welcome center at the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument in Maine tells the story of the land from the perspective of its original inhabitants — the Native Americans who comprise the Wabanaki Confederacy. The $35 million center was funded by private philanthropy led by Burt’s Bees founder Roxanne Quimby, who bought more than 87,000 acres of logging company land and donated it to the National Park Service. In Penobscot, the name of the center atop Lookout Mountain means “as far as the eye can see.” The Penobscot Nation’s historian says the collaboration should be a template for projects involving Native Americans.

Immigration arrest outside Oregon preschool rattles parents

July 19, 2025

Parents at a preschool in Oregon are reeling after immigration officers arrested a father in front of the school. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrested Mahdi Khanbabazadeh this week as he was pulling out of the preschool’s parking lot in Beaverton. Witnesses and ICE say officers broke a car window to arrest him. Khanbabazadeh is a 38-year-old chiropractor and citizen of Iran. ICE says it detained him because he overstayed his visa. His wife says he has always maintained lawful status. The company that oversees the Montessori school says the event is deeply upsetting. It comes as immigration officials have dramatically ramped up arrests across the country.

With gavel in hand, Trump chisels away at the power of a compliant Congress

July 19, 2025

When House Speaker Mike Johnson gifted to President Donald Trump the gavel used to enact the Republicans’ tax breaks and spending bill, it was a memorable moment at the White House. The image from the bill signing on Independence Day underscored the symbolic transfer of political power from a compliant Congress to the White House during Trump’s second term. Since Trump’s return to office in January, the Republicans in control of Congress have shown an unusual willingness to give the president of their party what he wants. And that poses a risk to Congress, an equal branch of government but one the Founding Fathers placed first in the Constitution.

Trump’s pace of early travel largely mirrors Biden’s, but with more sports events and golf

July 19, 2025

Moving at the “speed of Trump” is one of the White House’s favorite phrases, but when it comes to presidential travel, Donald Trump’s pace is about the same as that of his Democratic predecessor, Joe Biden. By his six-month mark in office on July 20, Trump will have made 49 trips to 14 states and seven foreign countries. That’s not far off from Biden’s pace. The Democrat made 45 trips to 17 states and three foreign countries early in his presidency during the pandemic. Trump’s second-term travel is also less prolific than his first, at least in terms of visiting different parts of the United States.

EPA eliminates research and development office, begins layoffs

July 19, 2025

The Environmental Protection Agency said Friday it is eliminating its research and development arm and reducing agency staff by thousands of employees. The agency’s Office of Research and Development has long provided the scientific underpinnings for EPA’s mission to protect the environment and human health. The EPA said in May it would shift its scientific expertise and research efforts to program offices that focus on major issues like air and water. The agency said Friday it is creating a new Office of Applied Science and Environmental Solutions that will allow it to focus on research and science “more than ever before.″ Once fully implemented, the changes will save EPA nearly $750 million, officials said.
