Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:54:22 GMT

In the 136th meeting between the two sides, Boston Latin defeated Boston English, 19-6, at Harvard Stadium. With the win, Latin improves to 83-40-13 and halts a two-year losing skid in the nation’s longest continuous football rivalry.Quarterback August Groh rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries. Running back Eric Power added 42 rushing yards, a rushing touchdown and fumble recovery touchdown.“It was a great team effort. I had to run out of the pocket a few times and my guys knew scramble drill. We just gave it our all. These last two years have been rough on us,” said Groh.Latin started the contest with a rush from Power who lost a fumble, allowing English to take over at the Latin 22. The Latin defense held firm and forced an English turnover on downs. On the ensuing drive, Power fumbled again on their opening play, giving English another chance at a score from the Latin 19. Once again, the Latin defense refused to budge and Power made up for earlier mistakes, recoverin...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:54:22 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS — An Illinois jury ruled this week that several major egg producers conspired to limit the U.S.’s supply of eggs in order to raise prices in a case stemming from a federal lawsuit originally filed 12 years ago.Several large food manufacturing companies including Kraft Foods Global, Inc. and The Kellogg Company alleged in the lawsuit originally filed in 2011 that producers used various means to limit the U.S. domestic supply of eggs to increase the prices of eggs and egg products during the 2000s. The time frame of the conspiracy was an issue throughout the case; jurors ultimately determined damages occurred between 2004-2008.A jury unanimously delivered its verdict Tuesday in the Northern District of Illinois and damages will be decided in a trial scheduled for next week.The suppliers include the family company of an Indiana egg farmer running for the U.S. Senate in the state.Attorneys for the four egg suppliers named in the lawsuit did not immediately return phon...

Will Zach LaVine be traded before the deadline? What should the Chicago Bulls get in return? 6 trade rumor mill questions.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:54:22 GMT

It’s been a week since the first report of Zach LaVine’s openness to a trade out of Chicago cracked open the future of the season for the Bulls.This a new season of change for the Bulls, who could be entering the early stages of yet another rebuild just three years after starting a new project centered around LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vučević.Let’s take a look at the top questions surrounding the latest cycle of trade rumors:1. Will a trade happen soon?It depends on what is meant by “soon” — but the short answer is no.The Bulls need to wait until mid-December to see a full spread of offers from teams throughout the league. This waiting period is mandated by free-agency rules which prohibit players from being traded until Dec. 15 or three months after the date of their contract signing, whichever comes later. Due to this latter clause, some players will not be available until January.It looks most realistic to expect the Bulls to e...

Municipalities say $600 billion in infrastructure needed to build 5.8 million homes

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:54:22 GMT

OTTAWA — The Federation of Canadian Municipalities says new research it commissioned finds municipalities would need $600 billion in infrastructure funding to help build 5.8 million homes by 2030.That’s the number of homes the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corp. says Canada needs to build to restore affordability.Canadian municipalities are voicing their disappointment that the federal Liberals didn’t include a new infrastructure funding model in its fall economic statement this week, despite the prime minister promising one would come in the fall. The federation held a news conference in Ottawa today to call on the federal government to convene provincial, territorial and municipal leaders to discuss a new funding framework that takes economic and population growth into better account. The fiscal update that Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland presented earlier this week included few new housing policies, as the Liberal government acknowledges the pressure that high infl...

Pierre Poilievre says he has a plan to tackle hate — but without touching free speech

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:54:22 GMT

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he has a plan for how he would tackle a rise in hate-motivated crimes reported since the start of Israel-Hamas war, but it doesn’t involve touching what protesters say. Poilievre presented what he called “common sense Conservative measures” during a press conference at a Toronto synagogue today, including re-evaluating Canada’s terrorism threat level and creating an anti-hate network for faith communities. Jewish Canadians have reported a sharp rise in antisemitism and violence against synagogues and schools since Hamas militants’ surprise attacks in southern Israel on Oct. 7. Muslim communities have reported a similar uptick in violence, as Israel continues to wage war in the Gaza Strip in retaliation for the attacks. Politicians and Jewish advocacy groups have raised concerns about chants and signage at protests that they fear could incite violence, and they have also raised the alarm about a rise in ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:54:22 GMT

BANGKOK (AP) — Myanmar ’s military-controlled government said Thursday that almost half of more than 250 cargo trucks stranded by fighting against ethnic minority armed groups near the northeastern border with China have been destroyed in a fire caused by bombs dropped by drones.Maj. Gen. Zaw Min Tun, spokesperson of the ruling military council, said in a statement phoned to state television MRTV that trucks parked in a compound near a trade zone in Muse township caught fire after drones belonging to ethnic armed organizations launched an attack at about 9:45 a.m. on Thursday.The action was one of the most dramatic, and in terms of property damage, most extensive since the self-styled Three Brotherhood Alliance of the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army, the Ta’ang National Liberation Army and the Arakan Army launched a coordinated offensive in northern Shan state on Oct. 27. The trucks are used to carry goods to and from China.Zaw Min Tun said about 120 of 258 trucks, which w...

Liberals, Tories argue over carbon pricing in update to Ukraine trade agreement

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:54:22 GMT

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says his party didn’t vote against having a free-trade agreement with Ukraine, but is instead rejecting a bill that promotes carbon pricing.The House of Commons is debating government legislation that implements a negotiated update to an existing trade deal between Canada and Ukraine. It also adds a new environmental chapter in which both countries agree to “promote carbon pricing.”Ukraine has had a price on carbon in place for years, and its ambassador is urging Canada to pass the legislation to help lay the groundwork for an economic recovery when Russia ends its invasion.Conservatives unanimously voted against sending the bill to committee on Tuesday, despite all other parties approving it, and Poilievre says it’s “cruel” to hold Ukraine to a carbon tax as it tries to rebuild from a war.Liberal House leader Karina Gould says the Tories are abandoning Ukraine and not taking climate change seriously.T...
