3 things learned in during low-scoring Gators spring game

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:20:45 GMT

Florida’s spring game got off to a shaky start Thursday night and did not improve much offensively.The Gators failed to score during the opening quarter of an Orange and Blue game for the first time since 2012. The Orange team’s 10-7 win was the lowest-scoring spring game since the school began to keep records in 1996.The previous low was 13-10 in 2011, offensively challenged Will Muschamp’s first season in Gainesville.An encouraging effort on defense and a vanilla offensive game plan played a role Thursday.Quarterback Jack Miller III said the Gators essentially ran, “Day 1 install.”Whatever the case, the offensive slough did not inspire confidence as coach Billy Napier ended his second spring in Gainesville and pushed to move past a 6-7 2022 season.A reported crowd of 42,000, including 2022 quarterback Anthony Richardson, Super Bowl winner Carlos Dunlap and Mike and Maurkice Pouncey, dwindled as the night went on.Here are 3 things learned:1.

Beigel tallies in OT to give Foxboro the victory

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:20:45 GMT

After a tumultuous final 10 minutes that saw alternating goals on nearly every possession, Foxboro and Cohasset entered overtime. Nearly a minute into the extra time, Foxboro’s Val Beigel gained possession. The junior, who to that point had four goals in the game, fired the ball into the back of the net to give her Warriors (6-0) a 9-8 nonleague victory. “It didn’t feel real,” Beigel said. “We all worked so hard as a team, and just being able to execute on that last move meant everything.” The Skippers (3-3) did not trail at any point in the game until the sudden death dagger. Head coach Billy Bitter said that despite the final, he learned a lot about his team. “That’s the beauty of sports in general,” Bitter said. “No one team going into the game is better, and I give all the credit in the world to Foxboro. We have a lot to work on but I have all the confidence in the world in this team.” The Skippers started out with three straight goals, and led 4-1 until...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:20:45 GMT

SAN DIEGO – For those who operate an Airbnb within the city of San Diego and have yet to register their property, time is running out.Ahead of the May 1 deadline, Airbnb partnered with a city to host a workshop educating hosts on the new requirements.“This has been a hot topic for a long time. This ordinance has come and gone over the last decade so now we’re finally ready to implement,” said Matt Wood, Short-Term Residential Occupancy Program Manager, with the Office of the City Treasurer.All hosts are required to register with the city, to obtain a license and update listings with that license number by May 1. Anyone not in compliance risks regulatory actions.“That could be issuance of verbal warnings, notice of violations, or penalties or fines from the code enforcement team. All listings specifically for hosting platforms will be removed after the May 1 implementation date if you continue to operate without a license,” Wood said.

SAN DIEGO -- A class action lawsuit filed by 17 San Diego State University female student-athletes against the university for violating Title IX is moving forward in favor of the plaintiffs, according to attorney officials.The decision allows all of the female student-athletes to pursue all or some of their claims for equal athletic financial aid, equal treatment and retaliation, Bailey & Glasser, LLP said in a news release Thursday. The ruling is the first in the nation to hold that female student-athletes deprived of equal financial aid can sue their schools for damages, per officials.“This is a major step forward for women and against sex discrimination at SDSU and nationwide,” said Arthur H. Bryant of Bailey & Glasser, LLP, in Oakland, CA, lead counsel for the women. “When we filed these claims, I said SDSU seemed to be aiming for the Title IX sex discrimination trifecta.

Warsaw Ghetto uprising survivor honored on 80th anniversary

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:20:45 GMT

JERUSALEM (AP) — Tova Gutstein was born in Warsaw the year Adolf Hitler took power in Germany. She was 10 years old when the Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto launched the first act of collective defiance against the Nazis in Europe. Now 90, she is among the few remaining witnesses of the ghetto uprising — and a vanishing generation of Holocaust survivors — as Israel marks the 80th anniversary of a revolt that has shaped its national consciousness.On Monday night, Gutstein will be one of six Holocaust survivors honored by Israel as torch-lighters in its annual ceremony at the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem. She said the horrors are still seared in her mind.“Over 80 years have passed, and I can’t forget it,” Gutstein told The Associated Press at her home in central Israel.Israel’s Holocaust Memorial Day, marked with solemn ceremonies in schools and workplaces nationwide, begins at sundown on Monday. Theaters, concerts, cafes and restaurants close and television and radio broadcas...

Mississippi city faces tough road rebuilding after tornado

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:20:45 GMT

ROLLING FORK, Miss. (AP) — The scent of the Mississippi Delta’s soil took hold of Charlie Weissinger’s psyche at an early age, and he has chased it ever since.Weissinger, 37, works at a bank to support his farming addiction in Rolling Fork, where his family has grown cotton, corn, soybeans, rice or wheat since 1902.“It’s something about the lifestyle, of being able to watch something that you’re able to create from start to finish,” he said. ”It’s so strange that you can do everything right, and then Mother Nature can take it away. And so it’s a constant battle of man’s will versus Mother Nature, of trying to see how well you can do in the face of adversity.”Weissinger’s farm was mostly spared when a deadly tornado tore through Rolling Fork last month as it carved a path of destruction through parts of western and northern Mississippi. But many in the predominantly Black farming community weren’t as fortunate. The twister killed 13 of Rolling Fork’s rou...
