PLEASANTON — Joseph Roberts didn’t know it, but before authorities found the dismembered body of his fiancée on the Alameda Shoreline, police had spent the past week surveilling him as he played golf, smoked cigarettes with friends and ate Mexican food.They’d listen to voicemails from another women calling him “handsome” and wishing him well, new records show.And now they were ready to arrest him on suspicion of killing Rachel “Imani” Buckner based on DNA evidence, in one of the Bay Area’s most shocking homicides in recent memory.On Sept. 6, police and the U.S. Marshals entered a Pleasanton apartment at 4857 Willow Road where Buckner and Roberts lived and immediately noticed strong indicators that they were standing inside a possible crime scene.There was an open bottle of Drano resting on the edge of a bathtub.

Preview: Killing goblins with the help of Pawns in ‘Dragons’ Dogma II’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:00:47 GMT

No goblins were spared. My level 15 Beastren fighter saw no reason for them to live. I wandered through the world of “Dragon’s Dogma II” and chopped them down along with my party of Max, a mage; George, an archer; and Sara, a thief. If we saw a goblin, we attacked it.As a fighter, I had the strength to lift a rock and throw it at them sending the creature flying. When the pitiful foe raised a shield to defend itself, I just grabbed the monster, dragged them to a ledge and tossed them into the brine. I dispatched goblins so easily that the Goblin Slayer would have approved.In the hourlong demo I played at Capcom’s TGS By the Bay event, I received a good sense of the combat in the upcoming action role-playing game. It still retains elements of the original. Most notably, Pawns play an important role. In my case, one of them named Max had knowledge the land we were traipsing and guided us as far as she knew.Players will have no shortage of ways to kill monsters ...

TOULOUSE, France (AP) — Portugal finally has some points at a Rugby World Cup.Still no win, though, for Os Lobos.They couldn’t have come closer on Saturday, conceding a game-tying try in the 78th minute and then missing a penalty with the clock in the red to settle for an 18-18 draw with big European rival Georgia in Toulouse.“We have built a base for the future,” Portugal captain Tomás Appleton said.A match that looked to have been settled by two blistering tries from Portugal winger Raffaele Storti had a thrilling climax that left both teams unsatisfied.Trailing 18-13 and having been surprisingly dominated by the Portuguese in the second half, Georgia’s grizzled set of forwards summoned up one last push with two minutes remaining and replacement hooker Tengizi Zamtaradze grounded at the back of a rolling maul to tie the score.There were barely 40 seconds left as Luka Matkava booted the touchline conversion right of the posts.Portugal’s players breathed a sigh of relief...

Russian foreign minister lambastes the West but barely mentions Ukraine in UN speech

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:00:47 GMT

United Nations (AP) — Russia’s top diplomat lashed out at the U.S. and the West on Saturday as self-interested defenders of a fading international order, but he didn’t discuss his country’s war in Ukraine in his speech to the U.N. General Assembly. “The U.S. and its subordinate Western collective are continuing to fuel conflicts which artificially divide humanity into hostile blocks and hamper the achievement of overall aims. They’re doing everything they can to prevent the formation of a genuine multipolar world order,” Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said. “They are trying to force the world to play according to their own self-centered rules,” he said. As for the 19-month war in Ukraine, he briefly recapped some historical complaints going back to the 1991 breakup of the Soviet Union but didn’t delve into the current fighting. For a second year in a row, the General Assembly is taking place with no end to the war in sight. A three-month-long Ukrainian counte...
