GALLOWAY, N.J. (AP) — Dani Holmqvist shot a career-best 7-under 64 on Friday to take a one-shot lead over Jenny Shin and Chinese rookie Yan Liu after the first round of the ShopRite LPGA Classic.Two-time ShopRite winner Anna Nordqvist and Georgia Hall were in a group of five two shots off the lead in the 54-hole event on the Bay Course at Seaview, close to the casinos in Atlantic City.Having Holmqvist in front is a surprise. The 35-year-old Swede, who has never won on tour, had missed the cut in all five events she played this year. She had five birdies and an eagle playing in the afternoon groupings. She has two previous 65s, one here in 2018.Holmqvist said she’s had a slow start to the season and hasn’t played enough to get herself into a rhythm. Being in front is a good feeling though.“That’s what we all strive to do,” she said. “Some weeks you’re better than others, and some weeks you feel like you’re losing. So it’s fun to actually come up on top for you once. This ...Colombian president says 4 children lost in the jungle were found alive after surviving a plane crash 40 days ago

Taking out the trash is getting more complicated for some folks in Maryland.Mandatory organics composting is on the way to the city of Laurel, according to an ordinance approved by the mayor and city council last month. The city says Laurel will be the first municipality to make composting a requirement.The composting law takes effect on July 1, 2025, leaving plenty of time for residents to get used to the idea and for the city to work out all the kinks on its end. The city said it will step up information and education campaigns to ensure everyone is ready to regularly separate organic waste from their other trash.City Environmental Programs Manager Michele Blair said the path to this law started four years ago with a composting pilot program.“We started out with 200 people in 2019. We then grew the program, doubled it and now we’re well into reaching 500 residents,” Blair says.Right now, the city borders on 30,000 residents and about 7,000 single family and town homes that t...Quién es Jack Smith, el hombre clave detrás de la acusación contra Trump

WASHINGTON – Detrás de la imputación del expresidente Donald Trump por los papeles clasificados hallados en su mansión de Mar-a-Lago hay un hombre clave, Jack Smith, que antes de ser designado como fiscal especial para investigarlo ejercía como fiscal de La Haya para crímenes de guerra en Kosovo.Su nombre dio un salto al primer plano de la esfera pública el pasado noviembre, cuando el fiscal general de Estados Unidos, Merrick Garland, anunció que le encargaba las pesquisas sobre la implicación de Trump en el asalto al Capitolio del 6 de enero de 2021 y sobre la sustracción de los documentos clasificados, caso por el que el exmandatario afronta ahora 37 cargos penales.Smith, que acaba de cumplir 55 años, empezó su carrera en 1994 como asistente del fiscal de distrito del condado de Nueva York y cinco años más tarde pasó a ser el ayudante del fiscal federal para el Distrito Este neoyorquino.

TORONTO (AP) — Carl Yuan moved into position to turn around a forgettable rookie year on the PGA Tour, shooting a 5-under 67 in cool, rainy conditions on Friday to take a one-shot lead at the midway point of the RBC Canadian Open.Two-time defending champion Rory McIlroy gave himself a chance heading into the weekend at Oakdale. He shot 67 and was three shots back of Yuan’s two-day total of 9-under 135.“I felt like I putted pretty well (Thursday). But iron play was better, wedges were definitely better, got it in play a little more off the tee,” said McIlroy, who had never seen the course before the opening round. “So yeah, it was a better, more solid round.”Corey Conners, seeking to become the first Canadian to win his national open since 1954, shot 69 and was one shot back. Joining him were Tyrrell Hatton — who shot 64 to set the course record for Oakdale’s composite routing — C.T.

DENVER (KDVR) — A judge on Friday rejected a challenge to the Colorado property tax relief plan set to go before voters this fall.Proposition HH would lower property tax rates for the next 10 years and backfill local government revenues with surplus tax money — funds normally refunded to Coloradans under the Taxpayer Bill of Rights. Mayor-elect Mike Johnston announces transition team Conservative group Advance Colorado and 12 counties sued over the effort.

DENVER (KDVR) -- Near Interstate 70 and Colorado Boulevard, on the East side of Denver, a small retention pond normally sits empty — but not this year. Historic rainfall has left inches of standing water throughout much of the pond, and with it, a perfect habitat for mosquitos.“An area like this might not be on our radar in previous years,” Brian Tietze said. "In previous years, it'll rain and dry up back to dirt, not even mud. But not this year."Tietze is a public health investigator for Denver's Department of Public Health and Environment, which is committing extra resources to mosquito control this spring.
