OAKLAND – The Oakland A’s have had four players come off the injured list this month. A handful of others will be eligible to come off the IL in the coming days and weeks.Considering the sorry state of the A’s pitching staff, no player will be welcomed back more than right-hander and 2022 all-star Paul Blackburn, who is set to start Monday against Matt Olson and the Atlanta Braves.Blackburn might not be a savior, but his return to Oakland can’t come soon enough, especially after the A’s were blasted 10-1 on Sunday by the Houston Astros, who set a new record for the 55-year-old Coliseum by hitting seven home runs.Yordan Álvarez hit two homers, and Jake Meyers, Chas McCormick, Jose Altuve, José Abreu, and Jeremy Peña each connected on one as the Astros swept the three-game series and handed the A’s (10-45) their 11th straight loss, their longest skid in close to three decades.Luis Medina gave up Meyers’ three-run shot in the fourth inning and allowed back-to-ba...

Nuggets mural on Colfax catching attention

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:00:00 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- A local artist is paying homage to the NBA's Western Conference champion Denver Nuggets through a mural he put up on Colfax Avenue. The artist, who goes by the name I Am Detour, spraypainted the mural of Nuggets superstars Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray on a building at Colfax Avenue and Race Street. KCP’s championship pedigree was missing link in Nuggets’ drive to Finals "A lot of times the architecture in cities and communities are muted. So adding like a bright color to the wall but also something that's relevant to their lives, which the Denver Nuggets are, it's always exciting," the artist said. Nuggets merchandise sales skyrocketThe city is embracing the Nuggets' win as gear has been flying off the shelves after the team swept the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. And even some items could end up being quite valuable.“The hottest selling item is the hats that the players were wearing,” Derek Friedman, owner of Sportsfan, a sporting goods sh...

On tech, the EU doesn’t speak for Europe

Alina Polyakova is the president and CEO of the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA). Matthew Eitel is a program officer for the Digital Innovation Initiative at CEPA.The European Commission of President Ursula von der Leyen vowed in 2019 to make “a Europe fit for the digital age,” dubbing the 2020s Europe’s “digital decade.”Building on the European Union’s flagship privacy law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Brussels’s regulatory race to the top gained historic momentum over the past four years. And from digital markets to content moderation, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, computer chips and data governance, the Commission has left little on the table in terms of regulation.Bolstered by mended ties with the administration of United States President Joe Biden and increased coordination with the U.S. through the Trade and Technology Council (TTC), the von der Leyen Commission seems to have achieved the impossible in an often rancorous 27-member bloc — a...
