DEAR ABBY: A guy at work, “Leon,” is my age, very friendly and down-to-earth. When we’ve worked together, we have had great conversations, and he has told me a lot about his girlfriend who he’s been with for years.I feel guilty knowing this because Leon is having an affair with a girl here at work who’s almost a decade his junior, and they’ve started getting very brazen about it.He tells people he’s tempted by her but would not cross the line. The girl, however, tells very different, detailed and personal stories about their rendezvous.Related ArticlesAdvice | Dear Abby: What the bridesmaid told me sent my wedding stress off the charts Advice | Dear Abby: I walked into the bedroom and I can’t forget what I saw Advice | Dear Abby: My friends’ comments about my wedding are hurting my feelings Advice | Dear Abby: The team is shunning me because I stood up for my wife Ad...Palestinian group says Israeli airstrike targeting its positions in eastern Lebanon has killed five fighters, wounded 10

PARIS (AP) — French Sports minister Amelie Oudea-Castera said Wednesday that Novak Djokovic’s political message about Kosovo was “not appropriate” and warned the former top-ranked Serb player that he should not do it again.Speaking on TV station France 2, Oudea-Castera said French Open director Amelie Mauresmo spoke with Djokovic and his entourage to insist on the principle of “neutrality” on the field of play. “When it comes to defending human rights and bringing people together around universal values, a sportsperson is free to do so,” she said. But Oudea-Castera added that Djokovic’s message was “militant, very political” and “must not be repeated.” Djokovic has drawn criticism from Kosovo’s tennis federation after offering his thoughts on clashes in northern Kosovo between ethnic Serbs and police and NATO peacekeepers.After a first-round victory in Paris on Monday, Djokovic wrote in Serbian on the lens of a courtside TV camera: “Kosovo is the heart of Serbia.

It’s been nearly a decade since there was this much hype surrounding the Spanish Grand Prix.The last time the Formula One crowd in Spain had such high hopes of celebrating a victory by Fernando Alonso — the country’s biggest racing idol — was back in 2013, when the two-time champion was driving for Ferrari.Alonso went on to win that race in Barcelona, but since then has never been in a realistic position to make it to the top step of the podium again at home. That was his last win in F1 anywhere, and the last by any Spaniard in the local race.The 41-year-old Alonso arrives revitalized with an Aston Martin team that is one of the surprises of the season and has been running near the top from the start. Alonso has five podium finishes in six races so far, and is coming off a season-best second-place finish in Monaco last weekend.“One step higher than any other podium this year, but we’re still aiming for one step (higher) hopefully in the future races,” Alonso said. “Barcelona i...Corea del Norte dice que el lanzamiento de un satélite fracasó y planea intentarlo de nuevo

Seúl (CNN) — El intento de Corea del Norte de poner en el espacio un satélite militar de reconocimiento fracasó este miércoles al averiarse la segunda etapa del cohete, informó la estatal Agencia Central de Noticias de Corea (KCNA), que añadió que Pyongyang planeaba realizar un segundo lanzamiento lo antes posible.“El nuevo cohete vehículo de satélite, Chollima-1, se estrelló en el Mar Occidental al perder la propulsión debido a un arranque anormal del motor de la 2ª etapa después de que la 1ª etapa se separara durante el vuelo normal”, dijo KCNA.Según el informe, “la fiabilidad y estabilidad del nuevo sistema de motores” era “baja” y el combustible utilizado “inestable”, lo que provocó el fracaso de la misión.La Agencia Nacional de Desarrollo Espacial de Corea del Norte dijo que investigaría el fallo “urgentemente” y llevaría a cabo otro lanzamiento tras nuevas pruebas, informó KCNA.Corea del Norte asegura que está l...Aitana Bonmatí aims for 2nd Women’s Champions League title with Barcelona

SANT JOAN DESPÍ, Spain (AP) — When Barcelona midfielder Aitana Bonmatí was the only girl playing on her village’s soccer team, she quickly learned that she would have to fight for the game she loved.That character-forging experience has helped the 25-year-old Bonmatí lead her team to a fourth Women’s Champions League final in five years. On Saturday, the Spanish club will face German team Wolfsburg in Eindhoven for the title.Back in her younger days, her opponents weren’t the source of trouble. It was her own teammates.“I was the only girl and I remember having lots of fights. The boys had a hard time accepting that a girl could play soccer,” Bonmatí told The Associated Press recently in an interview at the stadium where Barcelona’s women play most of their games. “It was like ‘I can’t step on a girl,’ or ‘How can a girl play ahead of me?’“But I don’t blame those boys, it was an issue of education and society as a whole,” she said about her childhood in Sant Pere d...Virginia comedians compete in contest to find America’s Funniest Veterans & Military Spouses
