Matt Joyce has missed the A’s race into contention, spending most of the past three months on the disabled list with a back strain. Now, Joyce is heading out on a rehab assignment, going to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday - but don’t expect that the veteran left-handed hitter will supplant either of the outfielders brought up in his absence. Nick Martini and Ramón Laureano have both proven to be valuable, and Joyce will rejoin the A’s when rosters expand in September. ... Читать дальше...

SAO PAULO — While jailed former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has long insisted he can run for Brazil’s presidency again despite a criminal conviction, legal experts say his path is extremely narrow and unlikely to happen. And his Workers’ Party risks missing the deadline to register an alternative candidate if it pushes his case for too long. The party defiantly registered da Silva’s candidacy in October’s election to much fanfare Wednesday, despite his conviction for corruption and money laundering last year ... Читать дальше...

TILOS, Greece — When the blades of its 800-kilowatt wind turbine start turning, the small Greek island of Tilos will become the first in the Mediterranean to run exclusively on wind and solar power.

SEOUL — Lee Soo-nam was 8 the last time he saw his older brother. Sixty-eight years ago this month the boy watched, bewildered, as his 18-year-old brother left their home in Seoul to escape invading North Korean soldiers who were conscripting young men just weeks after invading South Korea to start the Korean War. An hour later, his brother, Ri Jong Song, was snatched up by North Korean soldiers near a bridge across Seoul’s Han River. Lee always assumed Ri died during the three-year... Читать дальше...

Though its box office opening wasn’t a record breaker like “Black Panther,” Jon M. Chu’s “Crazy Rich Asians” had the same impact on Asian-American moviegoers that the Marvel blockbuster had on African-Americans, filling a demand for representation that had long been ignored in Hollywood. As the film steamed towards a strong $34 million five-day opening — among the best for a romantic comedy this decade — Asians who saw the film took to social media to express their gratitude to Chu, Constance Wu...

CINCINNATI - The Giants were on their way to another one-run day, their third in a row in one of the most hitter-friendly structures in the majors. Then they caught a break when the first baseman dropped the shortstop’s throw, enabling the Giants to sneak a couple of unearned runs in the seventh inning. Sunday’s 11-4 loss at Great American Ball Park completed a three-game sweep by the Reds and sent the Giants’ season deeper into a tailspin. It served as yet another... Читать дальше...
