Tiger Woods officially out of PGA Championship

(AP) — Tiger Woods is officially out of the PGA Championship. Ditto for Phil Mickelson, who has played only one LIV Golf event this year as he copes with a family health matter and withdrew shortly after the list of 154 players was announced Tuesday for Aronimink Golf Club. And the big surprise was Dustin Johnson, who was extended one of the special invitations to the PGA Championship next week despite his eligibility running out last year. "Very excited," Johnson said from LIV Golf Virginia, "I want to play in all the majors. I feel like my game is still good enough to compete ...

Celtics rout 76ers

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Joel Embiid's surprise return only 17 days after having an appendectomy fell flat and did nothing to help the 76ers stay competitive with Boston. Embiid had 26 points and 10 rebounds in 34 minutes, a gutsy effort in his latest return from injury that wasn't enough to overcome the Celtics in their 128-96 Game 4 win over Philadelphia on Sunday night for a 3-1 lead in their first-round playoff series. Embiid — who received a roaring ovation in pregame introductions — wasted little time scoring in his first game since April 6. The two-time NBA scoring ...

How to spot and help someone in a mental health crisis

(AP) — Experts wish more people spotted the signs earlier: feeling overwhelmed, not feeling "like yourself," shifts in sleep, behavior and mood.

Retired husband is rewriting house rules

Dear Annie: My husband retired eight months ago, and ever since then, our home has felt less like a place to relax and more like a company he has decided to manage. After years of leaving early, coming home late and barely noticing whether the bath towels matched, he is suddenly very interested in how everything is done and has strong opinions about all of it. He has started announcing new “house rules” as though he is issuing office memos. Shoes may no longer be left by the door. The dishwasher must be run only at night. Lunch should not be eaten in the den. The mail must be ...

Hints From Heloise

Trying out fruits at the grocery store Dear Heloise: I read your column in the Journal Gazette of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Jim R., in Houston, wrote about people who are eating produce that they haven’t purchased. But there is another view on this issue. Purchasing grapes, for example, without tasting them, often leads to sour grapes — literally.
