Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 18:54:28 GMT

Kevin Costner has made it clear in new legal documents that he wants his estranged wife Christine Baumgartner to pack up and leave the family home, but the documents don’t say whether he also expects his three minor children to leave the house and go live with their mother or stay with him.In documents obtained by TMZ, the 68-year-old “Yellowstone” actor cites a prenuptial agreement that Baumgartner signed before their 2004 marriage, which states that she has 30 days to pack up her belongings and vacate their home in the event of a divorce.Actors Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner and their children Hayes Logan Costner (L), Cayden Wyatt Costner (C) and Grace Avery Costner attend the world premiere of Disney’s ‘McFarland, USA’ at the El Capitan Theatre, February 9, 2015 in Hollywood, California.

House Democrats Refuse to Say Whether They Support Cluster Bomb Shipments to Ukraine

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 18:54:28 GMT

Rep. Adam Smith, the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, said recently that he is keeping the door open to sending cluster munitions — widely banned around the world due to their track record of maiming and killing civilians — to Ukraine. In a May interview with Politico, Smith said that the advantage of cluster munitions “is we have a lot of them. To the extent that we’re unable to provide sufficient ammo in other areas, they could certainly fill that gap.” He also framed the munitions as a potential way to end a conflict with no end in sight. “If our cluster munitions could bring the war to a conclusion sooner, it’s something I’m open to,” Smith said. This followed comments Smith made a week earlier at a Council on Foreign Relations event where he similarly described the pros and cons of sending cluster munitions to Ukraine. Ukraine has asked the United States to provide it with cluster bombs, which Russian troops have deployed against Ukrainian civilians...

Driver whose car vaulted over tow truck says: ‘I thought I was going to die’

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 18:54:28 GMT

VALDOSTA, Ga. (AP) — A woman whose car was captured on video vaulting into the air over a tow truck and crashing onto a Georgia highway says she’s recovering after spending two weeks in a hospital and undergoing several surgeries.“I don’t really remember much, but I know that I thought I was going to die,” Tanaijsha Bruton told WALB-TV in an interview Tuesday. “It hurts really, really bad. I felt everything.”A Lowndes County sheriff’s deputy was responding to an earlier wreck May 24 when his body camera recorded Bruton’s sedan flying into the air after driving up the ramp of a flatbed tow truck, which had stopped in the highway’s opposite left lane. The car soared 120 feet (37 meters) before landing upside down, according to a police report. It struck another vehicle and tumbled end over end before coming to rest.“When I go to sleep that’s pretty much what I dream about,” 21-year-old Bruton said. “It just replays over and over.” Bruton was h...

Reds prospect Elly De La Cruz still soaring after incredible big league debut

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 18:54:28 GMT

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — There may have been 30 people inside Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday with a view of the field, including a couple of workers who were busy hosing off seats hours before the game, yet all would occasionally turn to see where the ball landed when they heard the crack of the bat.Inside the cage, hat flipped backward a la Ken Griffey Jr. and with a left-handed swing nearly as sweet, was the hottest thing to hit baseball in quite some time. Elly De La Cruz pounded ropes into the stadium’s massive alleys and soared shots that rattled around in the outfield seats or splashed into the stadium fountains.An hour later, De La Cruz finally walked toward the visiting dugout with a few of his Cincinnati Reds teammates.It was 2:58 p.m. First pitch was still more than four hours away.Rarely do players widely considered baseball’s top prospect exceed expectations from Day 1. But even rarer is a talent like De La Cruz, the 21-year-old switch-hitting infielder whose first wee...

Florida heads to College World Series with deepest pitching staff since lone national title

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 18:54:28 GMT

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida coach Kevin O’Sullivan sifted through his desk this week in search of decade-old notebooks from previous trips to the College World Series.The pages contain countless reminders about how to handle days, maybe even weeks, in Omaha, Nebraska. Build in downtime. Make sure everyone has fun. Gather the team together at the end of each night.Solid tips, for sure. But the most important pointer didn’t need to be jotted down anywhere: bring pitching, lots of pitching. It shouldn’t be an issue for Sully and the Gators this time around.Second-seeded Florida (50-15) has its most talented collection of arms since winning the program’s lone national title in 2017, a staff so deep that O’Sullivan could face daunting decisions about when to use standout sophomore Jac Caglianone and highly touted freshman Cade Fisher.“There’s no perfect or complete team. Everybody’s got strengths, everybody’s got weaknesses,” O’Sullivan said. “We had to work awfully hard to figure o...
