More businesses in MN and elsewhere requiring teens to be chaperoned, curbing their independence

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:24:57 GMT

PARAMUS, N.J. — Jennifer Sepulveda used to drop off her 14-year-old son, Jorden, at the local mall on a Friday or Saturday night, where he would catch a movie with his friends and then hang out afterwards at the food court or elsewhere.Not anymore.Starting April 18, Garden State Plaza in Paramus, New Jersey — the second largest mall in the state — is requiring anyone under 18 years old to be accompanied by a chaperone at least 21 or older on Fridays and Saturdays after 5 p.m.The move, according to the mall, follows “an increase in disruptive behavior by a small minority of younger visitors.” That included a reported brawl in the food court last year and a fight in March that brought swarms of policemen to the center but ended up being a smaller altercation than initially reported.Sepulveda of Passaic, New Jersey said she was fine with the new policy.“On Friday and Saturdays, it’s just been a madhouse,” she said on a recent Friday night while shopping for Mother’s Day gifts with Jord...

Review: Duran Duran kicks off North American tour at BottleRock Napa Valley

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:24:57 GMT

Simon Le Bon was feeling a bit lost.It seems that there had been several revisions made to the setlist earlier in the day and the Duran Duran vocalist didn’t get the finalized document.“We got to version No. 7 or 8,” he remarked to the crowd. “And I got version No. 6.“Now, I really don’t know what song we are doing next.”The situation was quickly resolved and turned out to be the only hiccup in what was an otherwise pretty much flawless opening night of Duran Duran’s 2023 North American tour on Saturday (May 27) at BottleRock Napa Valley.The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group — which also was scheduled to perform on Sunday at SAP Center in San Jose — delivered a thrilling 100-minute set that nicely balanced the big hits with deep cuts and new songs.Duran Duran certainly wasn’t holding anything back at the start of the show, opening this headlining set on the festival’s big Verizon Stage with two of the new wave ba...

Verstappen wins Monaco GP to extend F1 championship lead; Alonso 2nd ahead of Ocon

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:24:57 GMT

MONACO (AP) — Formula One champion Max Verstappen’s lights-to-flag victory at the Monaco Grand gave the Red Bull driver his fourth victory of the season and extended his championship lead to 39 points over teammate Sergio Perez on Sunday.Spanish veteran Fernando Alonso was a season’s best second for Aston Martin as he collected a fifth podium in six races, albeit 28 seconds behind Verstappen, while Frenchman Esteban Ocon secured third place and a rare podium for Alpine.Red Bull has won all the races so far.“It’s super nice to win it in the way we did today with the weather and everything to stay calm and bring it home,” Verstappen said.For most of the race, he coasted on a dry and narrow track where overtaking is the hardest in F1.But an incident-free race in Monaco is rare and heavy rain played havoc with about 20 of the 78 laps left. Some drivers had pitted for the wrong medium tires shortly before the downpour and slid around. “It was incredibly slippery,”...

Unofficial results in Turkey’s presidential runoff split in early counting

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:24:57 GMT

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Preliminary, unofficial results from Turkey’s state Anadolu news agency showed incumbent President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ahead with 67% of ballot boxes counted, while a competing news agency gave a slight lead to the opposition candidate in a presidential runoff that will decide whether the country’s longtime leader stretches his increasingly authoritarian rule into a third decade.Anadolu showed Erdogan at 55%, and his challenger, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, at 45%.Meanwhile, the ANKA news agency, close to the opposition, showed the results at 51% for Kilicdaroglu and Erdogan at 49%, with 69% of ballot boxes counted.The outcome could have implications far beyond Ankara. Turkey stands at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, and it plays a key role in NATO.Erdogan’s government vetoed Sweden’s bid to join NATO and purchased Russian missile-defense systems, which prompted the United States to oust Turkey from a U.S.-led fighter-jet project. But it also helped broker a crucial...

He finished on 13 under par overall.His round began badly after making a double-bogey 6 at No. 2 when his tee shot found the water, but he recovered with back-to-back birdies from No. 6 and then came home in 32.“It was a battle with myself,” Larrazabal said. “I didn’t play well. I managed myself out there, holed a few great putts on the front nine and did my best to keep myself in position, then three birdies in the last four.“To win golf tournaments, you have to make birdies at the end. It doesn’t matter how fast you run...
