Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:35:00 GMT

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Former Germany captain Dzsenifer Marozsán said Monday she is retiring from international soccer before this year’s Women’s World Cup because she is still feeling the effects of a serious knee injury.The 30-year-old midfielder scored the winning goal in the 2016 Olympic final as Germany beat Sweden 2-1.

Kansas and Alabama are no strangers to playing for national championships.For the Jayhawks, another high-expectations trip to March Madness is a rite of spring.

1-minute garlic pan sauce transforms spicy chicken traybake

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:35:00 GMT

When you’re roasting food, air circulation is everything. That’s why we prefer low-rimmed baking sheets over roasting pans. They accelerate cooking and boost browning in our weeknight traybakes.But in some instances, a bit of crowding on the pan can be beneficial, such as in this spicy chicken alla diavolo from our book “Tuesday Nights Mediterranean,” which features weeknight-friendly meals from the region. After tossing bone-in, skin-on chicken parts with ample red pepper flakes and thyme, we arrange the meat in a circle around eight whole, peeled garlic cloves.The chicken roasts in a 475 degrees F oven until deeply browned, but the cloves in the center are protected from scorching in the high heat. Instead, they soften and sweeten — perfect for mashing into a paste to mix with the chicken’s juices for a savory sauce that is ready in just a minute. Mixing lemon zest and peperoncini into the sauce gives it an extra kick.Adding broccoli to the pan makes it a complete one-pan di...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:35:00 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — President Joe Biden on Monday told U.S. residents the nation’s financial systems are sound, following the swift and stunning collapse of two banks that prompted fears of a broader upheaval.“American can have confidence that the banking system is safe,” he said from the Roosevelt Room before a trip to the West Coast. “Your deposits will be there when you need them.”U.S. regulators closed the Silicon Valley Bank on Friday after it experienced a traditional bank run, where depositors rushed to withdraw their funds all at once. It is the second largest bank failure in U.S. history, behind only the 2008 failure of Washington Mutual.In a sign of how fast the financial bleeding was occurring, regulators announced that New York-based Signature Bank had also failed.The president, speaking from the Roosevelt Room shortly before U.S. markets opened, said he’d seek to hold those responsible and pressed for better oversight and regulation of larger banks. And he promised no losse...
