LIMOGES, France (AP) — Mark Cavendish will have to share the Tour de France record for most career stage wins at cycling’s biggest race. Competing in his final season, the ace sprinter from the Isle of Man who is known as “The Manx Missile,” crashed out of the race during the eighth stage on Saturday.Cavendish equaled Eddy Merckx’s record of 34 Tour stage wins during the 2021 edition, 13 years after his first success, but was not selected last year. This edition was his last chance to become the outright record-holder after he announced in May during the Giro d’Italia race that he will retire from cycling at the end of this season. The British rider had finished second in Friday’s stage when Jasper Philipsen denied the rider a 35th stage win.The 38-year-old former world champion hit the ground Saturday with 64 kilometers (40 miles) left while riding at the back of the peloton at about 45 kph (28 mph). TV images showed the veteran rider lying on the ground and then holding his ...

Nets rookie Noah Clowney shoots 1-of-9 in NBA Summer League debut

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:31:43 GMT

Victor Wembanyama found other ways to impact a game. Noah Clowney could not.It was the difference between picks No. 1 and 21 in their NBA Summer League debuts on Friday night. Both the Spurs’ Wembanyama and Brooklyn’s Clowney struggled to find the bottom of the net in their opening NBA games in Las Vegas.Wembanyama, the generational talent from France and heir apparent to Tim Duncan’s Spurs throne, shot 2-of-13 from the field and one-of-six from downtown for nine points, while Clowney, the streak-shooting stretch-four out of Alabama, shot just one-of-seven from deep and one-of-nine from the field overall for four points for the Nets in their 101-97 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.Wembanyama, however, was a dominant defensive presence for San Antonio and anchored the defense with five ferocious blocks against No. 2 overall pick Brandon Miller and the Charlotte Hornets. He also showed his abilities as a capable ball handler and facilitator, finding one of h...

Switzerland to become a net importer of cheese this year for the first time

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:31:43 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — Switzerland will import more cheese than it exports this year for the first time, according to the head of the country’s dairy association.The opening up of the Swiss milk market has put a squeeze on domestic producers in recent years, prompting some to give up, Boris Beuret told Geneva-based newspaper Le Temps in an interview published Saturday.Beuret said measures need to be taken to ensure Switzerland — famous worldwide for high-quality cheese varieties such as Gruyère and Emmentaler — can continue to produce for its own population.“If not, then we will end up importing (cheese), which would be absurd economically, socially and ecologically,” he was quoted as saying.The Associated Press

Minnesota officials say error in tax cut bill could cost taxpayers $352 million, but promised a fix

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:31:43 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota officials discovered an error in a $3 billion tax cut bill lawmakers passed this spring that could cost taxpayers $352 million over the next two years, but state leaders promised to fix it before it would take effect.The head of the Minnesota Revenue Department Paul Marquart told the Minneapolis Star Tribune on Friday that his staff caught the error when they were reviewing the nearly 400-page bill.By mistake, lawmakers used the 2019 standard deduction for the 2024 tax year without including four years of adjustments for inflation. That means most taxpayers’ standard deduction would be $1,600 smaller.Marquart said the error would cost single filers $110 and married couples $210 on their 2024 taxes. About 2.3 million returns would be affected if the law isn’t changed.Republican State Rep. Greg Davids said mistakes sometimes happen when staffers are working overtime at the end of a session to finish everything. Sometimes, lawmakers can resolve ...
