MUNICH (AP) — England captain Harry Kane said Sunday that he may need time to adapt to German football following a loss in his first game for Bayern Munich and won’t “panic” if he isn’t scoring.Kane came on as a 64th-minute substitute in a 3-0 defeat to Leipzig in the German Super Cup on Saturday after being confirmed as a Bayern player earlier in the day.“Obviously, I’ve spent my whole career, my whole life, in England and in the Premier League so it might take a bit of adapting to get used to a new league,” he said.“For me it’s just about settling in, as comfortable as possible, understanding the different types of teams, the way I have to play and adapt. I’ve done that throughout my whole career, whether it’s with Tottenham or the national team and I’ll do that here.”Bayern is next in action in the opening game of the Bundesliga season against Werder Bremen on Friday.

But on Saturday, a library in Silver Spring, Maryland, was booming with the music of DJs celebrating Montgomery County’s “Vinyl Day.”The event was hosted at Brigadier General Charles E. McGee Library. It’s a vinyl record sale at its core, but a special anniversary celebration gave it a special twist that was every music lover’s dream.“This year is a little different because we are celebrating the DJ and 50 years of hip-hop culture,” said event organizer Jaime Flores, Assistant Director for Programs and Outreach with Montgomery County Public Libraries.“What folks may not know is that we have world champions who live in this area, who compete in the DMC, which is like the Olympics, but for DJs,” Flores said.“There’s a cash prize today for the best turntablist in the mid-Atlantic,” he added.Montgomery County libraries partnered with several educational institutions, music scho...

Amid surge in kids entering Fairfax Co. child welfare system, nonprofit seeks volunteers

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 11:04:33 GMT

A dramatic increase in kids entering the child welfare system in Fairfax County, Virginia, has led a nonprofit organization to ask for volunteers — especially those who identify as Black, Hispanic and Spanish speaking.More than 230 kids entered the county’s child welfare system between July 2022 and June 2023 — a 138% increase from the group’s last fiscal year, according to a recent news release from Fairfax Court Appointed Special Advocates, also called CASA.The nonprofit expects this need for services to keep growing. Darcy Hubbard, the group’s executive director, said other local agencies and the county’s Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court agree “all of our systems are overwhelmed and that families in our community are in crisis.”“I think it is fair to say that we are all a bit different coming out of the COVID lockdown than when we went in,” Hubbard said. “The families we work with were hit the hardest and continue to struggl...

Orioles’ Gunnar Henderson ‘coming into his own’ as AL Rookie of the Year favorite thanks to aggressive play style

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 11:04:33 GMT

Ahead of the Orioles’ series against the New York Mets, Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde was asked about the youngest player on his team.In his answer, Hyde said the word “love” five times to describe how he feels about rookie Gunnar Henderson. He loves the 22-year-old’s “passion,” his “energy,” his “emotion.” But there’s a tiny aspect of Henderson’s game that Hyde doesn’t love.When he grounds out, he always sprints down the first base line trying to beat the throw, lunging as he approaches first base and forcefully slamming his foot attached to his 220-pound frame on first base.“That drives me nuts,” Hyde said.Those moments, though, are a result of an aggressive play style that has allowed Henderson to find his groove and turn his season around.“He just plays so hard. He’s so awesome,” Hyde said with a smile. “I just want to see him hit the base a little easier, honestly....

Pakistani security forces kill 2 insurgents in shootout after attack on a convoy

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 11:04:33 GMT

QUETTA, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistani security forces killed two insurgents in a shootout Sunday after a military convoy was attacked with small arms and hand grenades in the city of Gwadar in the restive southwestern Baluchistan province, the military said.The military made no mention of claims by the Baluchistan Liberation Army, a separatist group, that the daylight attack targeted a convoy of Chinese engineers accompanied by military vehicles, and that it lasted for hours.The military said there was no harm to civilians or security forces. Baluchistan has been the scene of a low-level separatist insurgency for over two decades. Separatists initially demanded a share of the wealth in the province, which is rich in gas and minerals, and later called for separation from Islamabad. Chinese companies operating in Gwadar and other parts of Baluchistan have been targeted in the past by Baluch insurgents. Pakistani forces claim to have largely quelled the insurgency but attacks still take pl...
