There was no immediate update on his injury status.A redshirt senior, Travis scored on a 2-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and later connected with Keon Coleman on a 58-yard touchdown pass as Florida State took a 17-3 halftime lead.Travis completed 14 of 23 passes for 186 yards, distributing passes to six receivers, in the first half. He now has 86 combined touchdowns in his Florida State career, extending his school record.

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Qatar’s Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani is withdrawing his offer to buy Manchester United, a person with knowledge of the process told The Associated Press on Saturday. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because of confidentiality restrictions. Sheikh Jassim had been one of the leading contenders to complete a takeover of the storied soccer club, which was put up for sale last year. Along with British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, the Qatari banker was one of only two bidders to publicly declare their intention to buy out United owners, the Glazer family. But almost a year since bids were invited for the 20-time English league champions, Sheikh Jassim has informed the Glazers he is withdrawing his offer, the person said. The person said Sheikh Jassim’s bid was almost double United’s current market valuation of $3.2 billion. Ratcliffe’s offer remains in place, although it has been reported that he is prepared to accept a mi...Argentina reaches Rugby World Cup semifinals after coming back twice to beat Wales

MARSEILLE, France (AP) — Argentina came from behind twice to beat Wales 29-17 and reach its third Rugby World Cup semifinal on Saturday.The underdog Pumas were 10-0 down in the first half then 17-12 behind going into the last quarter.They regained the lead thanks to a freshened pack which overpowered Wales for replacement prop Joel Sclavi to barge over for their first try in the 68th minute. Emiliano Boffelli’s extras made it 19-17.Matias Moroni then pulled off a try-saving tackle on Louis Rees-Zammit with six minutes to go, and three minutes later new flyhalf Nicolas Sanchez intercepted Wales’ Sam Costelow and scooted 50 meters to secure victory for the Pumas.Their first semifinal since 2015 next Friday in Paris will be against Ireland or New Zealand, which met later Saturday.Only five weeks ago, the Pumas started the World Cup by losing to 14-man England in the same Stade Velodrome.

All options are on the table when it comes to envisioning the future of the dilapidated Clifford Playground in Roxbury, according to officials overseeing a redesign process.“When we’re looking at park designs, it’s not made in a bubble. There are so many things that go into the decisions,” said Lauren Bryant, a project manager leading the effort for the city.“There are City of Boston priorities, in terms of things like climate resiliency,” Bryant said during a meeting last week, ” … and then there’s community input which is a huge part of what we are here for,” .Residents and advocates have long called on officials to address Clifford Playground’s disorderly state, as the 8-acre recreational space festers with needles, human feces and other trash. The city has said it’s responded with increased clean ups, and police frequently monitor the area.But those efforts have only gotten so far.

An illegal immigrant facing multiple rape charges was allowed to walk out of court after federal immigration agents were denied a request to interview him first, the Herald has learned.That same suspect had a driver’s license permit from the RMV, a law enforcement official said.Elgin Antonio Bamaca Zacarias, a 30-year-old citizen of Guatemala, is now in federal custody awaiting a deportation hearing.He was arrested in Lynn after being arraigned — and released — on two counts of rape, three counts of assault to rape, and one count of assault and battery on a pregnant victim.“These crimes, which include multiple charges of rape and assault and battery on a pregnant victim, are deeply disturbing,” said Todd Lyons, director of the Boston field office of ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO). “ERO Boston is committed to apprehending and removing immigration violators who present a threat to public safety.”It’s not known when and how Zaca...K-pop group TOMORROW X TOGETHER on their new album, working with Anitta and the Jonas Brothers

LOS ANGELES (AP) — In 2019, when the K-pop group TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT for short) first debuted, they were best known as the first BigHit Entertainment boy band since BTS. Those days went as quickly as they arrived.The quintet of Yeonjun, Soobin, Taehyun, HueningKai, and Beomgyu are one of the most influential contemporary K-pop groups, lovingly referred to as “K-pop’s voice for Gen Z” for their high-concept, relatable albums and their fearless genre eclecticism. No two records are the same, but the accolades are many. Last year, TXT made their U.S. debut at Lollapalooza, the famed festival in Chicago. This year, they became the first ever K-pop group to headline it, a few months after their album, “The Name Chapter: Temptation,” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. On Friday, the TXT story continues, and they will release another album, “The Name Chapter: Freefall.” There’s a very specific, whimsical mythology behind it: “Temptation” centered on a narra...‘Ring of fire’ eclipse moves across the Americas, bringing with it cheers and shouts of joy

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.. (AP) — First came the darkening skies, then the crescent-shaped shadows on the ground, and finally an eruption of cheers by crowds that gathered Saturday along the narrow path of a rare “ring of fire” eclipse of the sun.It was a spectacular show for millions of people across the Americas as the moon moved into place and the ring formed. There were hoots, hollers and yelps for those with an unfettered view in Albuquerque, where the celestial event coincided with an international balloon fiesta that typically draws tens of thousands of spectators and hundreds of hot air balloon pilots from around the world.They got a double treat, with balloons lifting off during a mass ascension shortly after dawn and then the eclipse just hours later. Some pilots used their propane burners to shoot flames upward in unison as the spectacle unfolded.“It’s very exciting to be here and have the convergence of our love of flying with something very natural like an eclipse,” said Allan ...Latest news
