Red Rocks explains how it warns people of severe weather Samantha was with her sister Mollie waiting for Louis Tomlinson. They described the wait for one weather delay before the concert was cleared to start. Mollie said just a few moments later there was another weather delay in place, then within two minutes the hail started. “We were in the corner standing with cardboard over our heads," Mollie said. "We kind of just stood there and hoped for the best."Hail blankets the ground at Red Rocks Amphitheatre during a delayed Louis Tomlinson concert.

Christophe Béchu, l’équilibriste de la sobriété foncière

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:08:11 GMT

Le ministre de la Transition écologique et de la Cohésion des territoires, Christophe Béchu, est “au banc” ce vendredi 23 juin à l’Assemblée, pour finaliser l’examen de la proposition de loi sénatoriale sur la mise en œuvre de l’objectif “zéro artificialisation nette”. Un texte au parcours semé d’embûches, pour lequel le ministre a dû se battre jusqu’au sein du gouvernement.Le sujet a en effet été l’objet d’une joute feutrée entre Béchu, soucieux de s’affirmer sur un dossier au cœur de son portefeuille, et Bruno Le Maire, chantre d’une réindustrialisation gourmande en terrains constructibles. Le locataire de Bercy a trouvé des alliés de circonstances chez les LR, qui sont montés au front à l’Assemblée comme au Sénat. A l’arrivée, Béchu a toutefois réussi à conserver l’essentiel : tous les projets industriels seront bien pris en compte dans la loi mais les limites imposées par l’objectif de non-...

Goldberg: Why it’s a bad idea to long for the ‘good old days’

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:08:11 GMT

Nostalgia, a term that originated as a medical diagnosis for Swiss mercenaries suffering from homesickness, is the sorrowful longing for a lost past. An April Pew survey found that nearly 6 out of 10 (58%) Americans think the country was better off for people like them 50 years ago. For Republican and Republican-leaning respondents, nostalgia for the early 1970s reached 72%.Americans have always had a thing for the “good old days.” The problem is that what — or when — constitutes the “good old days” is a constantly moving target. It often seems to be about five decades earlier from right now.Karlyn Bowman studies public opinion at the American Enterprise Institute. She found that in recent surveys, the 1980s and 1990s are starting to supplant the 1950s as the new “good old days.” You can see evidence for this all over the place in popular culture, from the remakes of old sitcoms to original offerings such as “Stranger Things̶...

Chicago Bulls make draft night trade to select Tennessee’s Julian Phillips with No. 35 pick

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:08:11 GMT

The Chicago Bulls injected some life into a sleepy draft night on Thursday by making a late-night trade to acquire Tennessee product Julian Phillips with the No. 35 pick in the NBA Draft, according to a report by Shams Charania.The Bulls sent a pair of future second-round picks to the Wizards to acquire the pick, according to the report. The Wizards had previously traded with the Boston Celtics for the No. 35 pick.A lengthy forward at 6-foot-8, Phillips impressed at the draft combine with his 7-foot wingspan and 43-inch vertical, the highest of all attendees. The forward carved out his draft stock on the strength of his defense — an extremely similar resume to 2022 first-round draft pick Dalen Terry, who averaged only 5.6 minutes last season.Phillips repeats a familiar set of pros and cons for the Bulls: a strong defender who uses his physicality efficiently but struggles to shoot the ball. He shot 41.1% from the field and only 23.9% from behind the 3-point arc during his sing...

Cast propels hip-hop comedy ‘World’s Best’ to winner’s circle

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:08:11 GMT

A delightful throwback to Disney’s great, original, live-action films of the past, “World’s Best” is the story of a New Jersey, middle-school-aged boy who goes to high school for math class because he is that smart when it comes to numbers and equations. But what Prem (rhymes with “name”) Patel (standout Manny Magnus) really wants is to become a hip-hop sensation like his late father Suresh (actor and rapper Utkarsh Ambudkar of TV hit “Ghosts”). Modest and terrifically executed by cast and crew, the film is a terrific piece of entertainment. When we first meet curly-haired, bespectacled Prem, he’s participating in a “Mathylimpics” contest and helping his team win right on the buzzer. He is reminded of one of his father’s mottoes, “The best never rest.” But it’s just a dream.Rising at 6 a.m., Prem gazes at images of Leibniz, Newton and Ramanujan on his ceiling. Prem’s mom Priya (Prunam Patel, also TV’s “Ghosts”) encourages his math studies an...

2023 NBA Draft: Nets select Noah Clowney 21st, Dariq Whitehead 22nd

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:08:11 GMT

They kept their picks after all. Which means a subsequent deal could be imminent.The Nets held consecutive late first-round picks in Thursday’s NBA Draft and were expected to package picks Nos. 21 and 22 in an attempt to either move up in the draft or put together a trade package for an impact player or another star.They did neither.Instead, the Nets selected Alabama’s freshman stretch four Noah Clowney 21st overall, then took Duke’s 3-and-D forward Dariq Whitehead with the ensuing pick.Brooklyn’s front office clearly put an emphasis on floor spacing. The Nets also prioritized size, and they got both in their back-to-back first-round picks on Thursday night.Clowney has stretch-four potential at the NBA level. He led Alabama in rebounding 14 times last season and made the 2022-23 SEC All-Freshman Team while converting at a 28.3% clip from downtown. The volume was more noteworthy than the percentage: Clowney attempted an average of more than three threes per ga...

With the first pick, the “Wemby Draft” went according to plan. We’ll see if Victor Wembanyama’s career follows suit. Wembanyama, the giant Frenchman, shook Adam Silver’s hand in a dark green suit and officially joined the San Antonio Spurs. The process was drawn out by the NBA to achieve maximum airtime for ESPN, with the Spurs requiring the full five minutes for the pick.Then the clock started on the real drama, with Michael Jordan making his final pick as Hornets owner at No. 2. Here were the top-4 picks from Thursday’s draft:1.
