Carlos Queiroz was fired as Qatar’s head coach just over a month before the nation hosts the Asian Cup.Queiroz, former coach of Real Madrid, Portugal and Iran, was appointed on a four-year contract in February after Felix Sanchez left the position. Sanchez was in charge at the 2022 World when Qatar, as host, lost all three games.The football federation issued a statement Wednesday saying “Queiroz’s tenure as head coach of the Qatar national team has ended amicably by mutual agreement.”“The QFA expresses its sincere gratitude to coach Queiroz for his unwavering dedication, leadership, and contributions during his tenure as the head coach of the national team.”No official reason was given for the decision, although there were concerns locally over the perceived defensive style of play adopted by Queiroz and his failure to bring young players from the country’s Aspire Academy into the senior roster.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Nikki Haley was targeted Wednesday from the opening moments of the fourth debate for Republican presidential hopefuls as time runs out for the shrinking field to shake up a race that’s been dominated by former President Donald Trump.Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis accused Haley of backing down from media criticism and biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy suggested that the former United Nations ambassador and South Carolina governor was too close to corporate interests as she gets new interest from donors. Responded Haley, “They’re just jealous.”Three of the four candidates onstage didn’t mention Trump, the overwhelming GOP front-runner, in the debate’s opening minutes. Aside from Christie, the candidates have spent more time in debates going after each other than taking aim at Trump, reflecting the view of many GOP power players that there are diminishing returns in attacking the former president given his popularity among Republicans.The c...Slajchert’s 18 lead Pennsylvania over FDU-Florham 111-57

WASHINGTON – Hace una década, el Capitolio estaba consumido por la urgencia de reformar el sistema de migración del país, impulsada en gran parte por los republicanos que sentían el imperativo político de lograr avances entre los votantes de grupos minoritarios con políticas más generosas.Pero ninguna propuesta logró convertirse en ley, y desde entonces, el centro de gravedad de Washington sobre la inmigración se ha desplazado claramente hacia la derecha, y el debate ahora está centrado en medidas destinadas a mantener a los inmigrantes fuera cuando los republicanos sienten que tienen la ventaja política.Las discusiones y el tira y afloja entre los partidos sobre cómo garantizar una vía a la ciudadanía para los migrantes indocumentados que suman más de 11 millones o un sistema modernizado de permisos de trabajo para fomentar una mayor inmigración legal son cosa del pasado. Los dreamers tendrán que seguir esperando: descartan por ahora aprobar un camino a la ciuda...19 to serve on Colorado property tax task force

BRIGHTON, Colo. (AP) — Two paramedics on trial over the 2019 death of Elijah McClain told investigators in videotaped interviews previously unseen by the public that the 23-year-old Black man had " excited delirium,” a disputed condition some say is unscientific and rooted in racism.McClain died after being stopped by police while walking home from a convenience store, then forcibly restrained and injected with ketamine by the paramedics in the Denver suburb of Aurora. Initially, no one was charged because the coroner’s office could not determine how McClain died. But social justice protests over the 2020 murder of George Floyd drew renewed attention to McClain’s case — which led to the 2021 indictment of the paramedics and three officers.
