Contrario a lo que muchos creen, Alfredo Angulo no está retirado. No pelea desde hace casi cuatro años, pero en su regreso este fin de semana entrará a una modalidad similar al boxeo, pero sin guantes. A sus 41 años, Angulo decidió firmar con Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) debido a que conocía a uno de los ejecutivos en su carrera como boxeador. BKFC hará su debut en Los Ángeles en el evento KnuckleMania 4, que se celebrará este sábado, 27 de abril, en el Peacock Theater en L.A. Live en una función que será transmitida en Pago por Evento (6 p.m.). El mexicano enfrentará a Jeremiah Riggs, con un récord de 2-2 en BKFC. En el combate estelar será en peso mediano con Mike Perry (4-0), un expeleador de UFC, enfrentando al excampeón mundial de peso mediano de la BKFC Thiago Alves (2-0), un veterano de UFC. La última contienda de boxeo de Angulo fue en 2020 cuando sufrió una derrota por decisión unánime ante Vladimir Hernández en el entonces Microsoft Theater de Los Ángeles. Antes de eso había vencido a Peter Quillin el

NEW YORK —  “Illinoise,” a hallucinatory dance musical based on Sufjan Stevens’ 2005 concept album “Illinois,” offers a fitting end to a Broadway season that seemed happiest when operating beyond conventional assumptions and practices. Whether the piece — I hesitate to call this delicate hybrid a show — is more dance than musical is not all that important. Let the theater award categories stretch to accommodate new forms and visions. The production, which was at the Park Avenue Armory earlier this season, has arrived at the St. James Theatre in the role of deus ex machina, rescuing Broadway from its hidebound habits. All the elements of a musical are to be found in “Illinoise.” The music, blending indie folk, alt rock and chamber pop, creates space for collective reflection. The lyrics — poetic shards that blur the line between the personal and the historic, the symbolic and the idiosyncratic, the living and the dead — swirl from the recesses of inner life. The choreography translates this interior struggle into athletic grace. Admittedly, the book by playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury and director and choreographer Justin Peck is

I have badly underestimated Donald Trump. Thursday was the day that his justices — it turns out that they are indeed his justices on the Supreme Court, just as he claimed — got it through my thick head: Trump is not just competent but masterful. He is not just capable, he is supreme. Because Trump is clumsy at his alleged crimes, surrounding himself with flagrant thugs, telling obvious lies, leaving prolific trails of damning evidence, offering ridiculous defenses for indefensible conduct, I had long concluded that he is incompetent at crookery along with his other manifest failings. That’s true as far as it goes. But for all his mad greed and compulsive lawlessness, for all his sleaze and stupidity, crime is ultimately not Trump’s game. Trump is nothing like a master criminal. But he is a master of something far more sinister and complex: corruption. Crime is a largely private endeavor. Corruption is public. It seeps into the muscle and sinew of democratic society and institutions; it devours from within. The Supreme Court, drunk on arrogated power, cut loose from rudimentary ethics , has been

I’ve lived and/or worked in 10 states scattered across the country. Arizona was and remains the most complicated. The same state that elected the first openly gay mayor of a large U.S. city is also the state that did not want a federal holiday for Martin Luther King Jr. Opinion Columnist LZ Granderson LZ Granderson writes about culture, politics, sports and navigating life in America. Perhaps the cultural pendulum swings so drastically because the population shifts depending on the time of year — shoutout to you snowbirds. Whatever the season, though, Arizona is not a liberal epicenter like New York. To get news like we saw this week — where an Arizona grand jury indicted 18 allies of Donald Trump , including Mark Meadows and Rudolph W. Giuliani, over their efforts to overturn the 2020 election — takes more than dislike of Trump or Republicans. It takes facts. And it should be no surprise to find that kind of evidence in Arizona, where election denial arises from a long history of other racist power grabs. Let’s think back to 2020 in Arizona, even before the

Amid the ongoing insurance crisis in California, Allstate said it would resume selling new policies in the Golden State should regulators adopt proposed regulatory changes to make it easier for insurers to raise rates. “If the regulations were in effect today, we would begin selling new homeowner insurance policies tomorrow,” Gerald Zimmerman, senior vice president of government relations for Allstate, said in a public hearing, Bloomberg reported. “Let me repeat that: As soon as we can use catastrophe modeling and incorporate the net cost of reinsurance into our rates, we will be open to business in nearly every part of California.” State Farm to non-renew 72,000 policies in California Catastrophic models is a risk management tool used by insurance companies, businesses and regulators to assess the potential losses caused by a catastrophic event. The company confirmed the news to KTLA in a statement. “We’re working with the California Department of Insurance to improve insurance availability in the state. Once home insurance rates fully reflect the cost of providing protection to consumers, we’ll be able to offer home insurance policies to more Californians with timely rate

The woman who was driving her boyfriend when he shot and killed a 6-year-old boy on the 55 Freeway in 2021 pleaded guilty to a felony and a misdemeanor in connection to the shooting on Friday, according to prosecutors. Wynne Lee, 26, of Costa Mesa pleaded guilty to a felony for accessory after the fact and one misdemeanor count of having a concealed firearm in a vehicle. She was sentenced to the maximum of three years for the felony and one for the misdemeanor. Since she’d been on court-ordered at-home confinement since June 21, 2021, her sentence resulted in credit time served, granting her release. The Orange County Office of the District Attorney cited state law that allows defendants on court-mandated house arrest to accrue credit. Prosecutors were angered by the law that allowed Lee to be granted her release without serving time behind bars. “Her behavior is despicable and I, along with our entire Orange County community, am outraged that the state Legislature continues to water down our laws to give criminals charged with egregious crimes break after break,” said Orange County District Attorney

By Michael Roppolo Updated on: April 26, 2024 / 3:09 PM EDT / CBS News Deputies’ bodycam video captured the dramatic moment Thursday when two officers — and their K9s — arrested a double murder suspect in a wooded area near Florida’s Gulf Coast.  Angel Gabriel Cuz-Choc was found hiding less than two miles from where his girlfriend, Amalia Coc Choc de Pec, 36, and her daughter, 4-year-old Estrella Pec Coc, were found dead less than 24 hours before.  Shortly after his arrest, Cuz-Choc confessed to both murders, officials said. The three had arrived from Guatemala about three months ago, reports CBS affiliate WTSP. The victims were found stabbed to death Wednesday afternoon at a mobile home in Dover, Florida, according to the station.  Authorities were called after the little girl was found dead inside the home — with her mother found in the backyard, lying “in her own puddle of blood,” according to Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister. Investigators believed a bloody handprint, found on the side of the mobile home, came from the woman fighting for her life. “I am taken back by

The cause is under investigation. The Iran-backed Houthis have brought down two other MQ-9s since November, the first in early November and then another in February. Each drone costs roughly $30 million, according to the Congressional Research Service.  The drones flying off the coast of Yemen are part of the U.S. military’s efforts to help defend commercial and military ships against ongoing attacks by the Houthis.  File: A MQ-9 Reaper drone flies by during a training mission at Creech Air Force Base on November 17, 2015, in Indian Springs, Nevada.

Graff was Trump’s confidant and gatekeeper from the late 1980s until he became president in January 2017, and left the Trump Organization in 2021. Stationed outside Trump’s office in Trump Tower, she handled his phone calls and schedule, engaging with those coming and going from meetings. Prosecutors are expected to ask her to verify the authenticity of a variety of documents that they will enter as exhibits in the case. Her turn on the witness stand comes after the conclusion of testimony by Donald Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer. Over the course of four days, Pecker detailed his involvement in a “catch and kill” scheme to acquire the rights

A Monrovia-based nursing home chain and its executives have agreed to pay more than $7 million to settle COVID-19-related false claims allegations, it was announced Friday. ReNew Health Group LLC, ReNew Health Consulting Services LLC, and two corporate executives agreed to the settlement with federal and state prosecutors for knowingly submitting false Medicare Part A claims for nursing home residents, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. To conserve hospital beds during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services waived the requirement that a person must have had a hospital stay of at least three days — signaling an acute illness or injury — before reimbursing for skilled care in a nursing home. The federal government and the state of California alleged that the defendants knowingly misused this waiver by routinely submitting claims for nursing home residents when they did not have COVID-19 or any other acute illness or injury, but merely had been near other people who had COVID-19, the DOJ said. Under the settlement, the defendants will pay $6,841,727 to the United States and $242,273 to the state of California
