WORCESTER -- For the second year in a row, the Bishop Feehan High girls soccer team lost in the MIAA Division 1 state final, losing to Wellesley 3-1 at Worcester State University. The loss caps a year where the Shamrocks went 17-3-3, facing tremendous adversity going back to before the season had started. The Shamrocks endured a head coach suspension before they had hit the field, endured injuries, and were counted out well before another run to the title - which saw them pick up wins over Boston Latin, Franklin (in penalty kicks), Needham and previously defending champion Natick in overtime.

Forthright and fearless, the Nobel Prize winner took pot-shots at former prime minister Tony Blair and ex-US president George W Bush among others. His death came after repeated bouts of illness in which images of the increasingly frail former president failed to erase memories of his fierce spirit. Democrat James Earl “Jimmy” Carter Jr swept to power in 1977 with his Trust Me campaign helping to beat Republican president Gerald Ford. Serving as 39th US president from 1977 to 1981, he sought to make government “competent and compassionate” but was ousted by the unstoppable Hollywood appeal of a certain Ronald Reagan. A skilled sportsman, Mr Carter left his home of Plains, Georgia, to join the US Navy, returning later to run his family’s peanut business. A stint in the Georgia senate lit the touchpaper on his political career and he rose to the top of the Democratic movement. But he will also be remembered for a bizarre encounter with a deeply disgruntled opponent. The president was enjoying a relaxing fishing trip near his home town in 1979 when his craft was attacked by a furious swamp rabbit which reportedly swam up to the boat hissing wildly. The press had a field day, with one paper bearing the headline President Attacked By Rabbit. Away from encounters with belligerent bunnies, Mr Carter’s willingness to address politically uncomfortable topics did not diminish with age. He recently said that he would be willing to travel to North Korea for peace talks on behalf of US President Donald Trump. He also famously mounted a ferocious and personal attack on Tony Blair over the Iraq war, weeks before the prime minister left office in June 2007. Mr Carter, who had already denounced George W Bush’s presidency as “the worst in history”, used an interview on BBC radio to condemn Mr Blair for his tight relations with Mr Bush, particularly concerning the Iraq War. Asked how he would characterise Mr Blair’s relationship with Mr Bush, Mr Carter replied: “Abominable. Loyal, blind, apparently subservient. “I think that the almost undeviating support by Great Britain for the ill-advised policies of President Bush in Iraq have been a major tragedy for the world.” Mr Carter was also voluble over the Rhodesia crisis, which was about to end during his presidency. His support for Robert Mugabe at the time generated widespread criticism. He was said to have ignored the warnings of many prominent Zimbabweans, black and white, about what sort of leader Mugabe would be. This was seen by Mr Carter’s critics as “deserving a prominent place among the outrages of the Carter years”. Mr Carter has since said he and his administration had spent more effort and worry on Rhodesia than on the Middle East. He admitted he had supported two revolutionaries in Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo, and with hindsight said later that Mugabe had been “a good leader gone bad”, having at first been “a very enlightened president”. One US commentator wrote: “History will not look kindly on those in the West who insisted on bringing the avowed Marxist Mugabe into the government. “In particular, the Jimmy Carter foreign policy... bears some responsibility for the fate of a small African country with scant connection to American national interests.” In recent years Mr Carter developed a reputation as an international peace negotiator. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his commitment to finding peaceful solutions to international conflicts, his work with human rights and democracy initiatives, and his promotion of economic and social programmes. Mr Carter was dispatched to North Korea in August 2008 to secure the release of US citizen Aijalon Mahli Gomes, who had been sentenced to eight years of hard labour after being found guilty of illegally entering North Korea. He successfully secured the release of Mr Gomes. In 2010 he returned to the White House to greet President Barack Obama and discuss international affairs amid rising tensions on the Korean peninsula. Proving politics runs in the family, in 2013 his grandson Jason, a state senator, announced his bid to become governor in Georgia, where his famous grandfather governed before becoming president. He eventually lost to incumbent Republican Nathan Deal. Fears that Mr Carter’s health was deteriorating were sparked in 2015 when he cut short an election observation visit in Guyana because he was “not feeling well”. It would have been Mr Carter’s 39th trip to personally observe an international election. Three months later, on August 12, he revealed he had cancer which had been diagnosed after he underwent surgery to remove a small mass in his liver. Mr Obama was among the well-wishers hoping for Mr Carter’s full recovery after it was confirmed the cancer had spread widely. Melanoma had been found in his brain and liver, and Mr Carter underwent immunotherapy and radiation therapy, before announcing in March the following year that he no longer needed any treatment. In 2017, Mr Carter was taken to hospital as a precaution, after he became dehydrated at a home-building project in Canada. He was admitted to hospital on multiple occasions in 2019 having had a series of falls, suffering a brain bleed and a broken pelvis, as well as a stint to be treated for a urinary tract infection. Mr Carter spent much of the coronavirus pandemic largely at his home in Georgia, and did not attend Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration in 2021, but extended his “best wishes”. Former first lady Rosalynn Carter, the closest adviser to Mr Carter during his term as US president, died in November 2023. She had been living with dementia and suffering many months of declining health. “Rosalynn was my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished,” Mr Carter said in a statement following her death. “She gave me wise guidance and encouragement when I needed it. As long as Rosalynn was in the world, I always knew somebody loved and supported me.”
Patrick Mahomes will probably find a new way to celebrate a big play moving forward. The Kansas City Chiefs ' star quarterback was fined over $14,000 by the NFL for what was deemed a "violent gesture" during Kansas City's Week 11 loss to the Buffalo Bills . Here's a look at the gesture that led to Mahomes being fined. The NFL fined #Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes $14,069 for unsportsmanlike conduct (violent gesture) as he celebrated a touchdown pass last week in Buffalo ... pic.twitter.com/dXgnmYJSYp This is just the second time that Mahomes has been fined. His first fine occurred last December when he was docked $50,000 for "verbally abusing" officials doing a game that also took place during a loss to the Bills. Mahomes wasn't the only player who was fined this weekend due to a celebration that the NFL did not appreciate. Lions wideout Jameson Williams was docked nearly $20,000 for his celebration that paid homage to former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch's celebration at the end of his legendary touchdown run in the 2010 playoffs.North Carolina A&T now offers degree in artificial intelligence GREENSBORO, N.C. (WTVD) -- North Carolina A &T State University is now offering a bachelor's degree in artificial intelligence.

Courses are available both in-person and online. Some schools already offer a concentration in...UAAGI Chief Marketing Executive Lyn Buena says Lynk & Co is targeting a growing middle class Interview by Kap Maceda Aguila WHEN IT was formally launched in the Philippines last April at the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS), Lynk & Co (distributed by United Asia Automotive Group, Inc. or UAAGI) wanted to change the average car buyer’s notion that China-headquartered car marques are known for delivering value for money and hardly anything else — certainly not the characteristics associated with more premium brands. Lynk & Co leverages its affinity with the Volvo and Geely brands, being a joint venture of both. For one thing, Lynk & Co vehicles “are designed and built using advanced architectural platforms such as CMA, SEA, and BMA. These platforms allow for model scalability and adaptability in light of new energy solutions, such as translation of Lynk & Co’s designs to accommodate new electric vehicle technologies,” according to a company release. “(It is a) premium, global vehicle (brand) that ticks all the right boxes in terms of design aesthetic, safety, and modern connectivity,” UAAGI Group Managing Director and Lynk & Co Philippines Brand Head Froilan Dytianquin had said during the Lynk & Co preview ahead of the MIAS launch. Meanwhile, UAAGI Chairman Rommel Sytin said that the brand “not only elevates UAAGI’s entire auto brand portfolio, but also allows us to cater to a wider audience of Filipino motorists and their discerning tastes and preferences.” We caught up with UAAGI Chief Marketing Executive Lyn Manalansang-Buena on the sidelines of the inauguration of Lynk & Co’s fourth operational dealership — this one located along Quezon Avenue. Paramount Cars, Inc. President Jessica Lee-Sy had noted in her speech that the country today boasts 21 Chinese car brands, with more poised to enter the market. We asked Mrs. Manalansang-Buena how Lynk & Co intends to stand out in this crush of competitors, and more. Here are excerpts from our interview: VELOCITY: How do you see the industry shaping up, and how does Lynk & Co position itself differently from the other Chinese brands that are out there? What particular segment of the buying market are you eyeing? LYN MANALANSANG-BUENA : I agree it’s a crowded marketplace now, but at the end of the day, I think it has a lot to do with the product that you offer. We’re very fortunate because Lynk & Co, in cooperation with its mother company Geely, has produced very premium cars. Because of a rising middle class, a lot of people are going to want cars that are more rewarding — not just a basic tool that can get you from point A to point B. That’s exactly what Lynk & Co offers, something that will make you feel good about your purchase — (providing) an environment that you’re happy with. It’s something that I feel is a significant proposition for a new breed of middle-class workers in the Philippines. There’s a lot of discovery about brands that are not as known but offer good technology, premium environment, and safety. I think that’s a very strong proposition in terms of our lineup in Lynk & Co. What’s the timeline for growing the network? We have two dealerships that will open by the first half of next year, and our plan is to have eight open showrooms by the end of 2025, conservatively. We have partners north and south of NCR. That’s the plan: To have more presence in very specific areas where we feel the market is ready for a brand like Lynk & Co. You’re planning to release electrified options as well. Are seeing you an uptick in demand from your customers and the industry in general for electrified powertrains? Because of the distinct profile of the Lynk & Co audience, I think they’re one of the first adopters. They’re among the first to embrace new things, new technologies — so long as it makes sense, because they’re also very discerning. As long as we can make sense of that, the infrastructure is ready, the technology and after-sales are supported which is what we have in UAAGI — because UAAGI is very well known for its exceptional after-sales services across our four brands — I think yes, we are doing those steps. We are being cautiously optimistic, but we’re reading the market very well because it evolves fast. We want to make very calculated, smart moves whenever we choose a product to introduce.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Brandon Miller to go Over 18.5 Points versus the Pistons: “Brandon Miller is coming off a season-high 29 points and 11 made field goal attempts. Over the last nine games, Miller has shot at least 16 field goal attempts in eight of those and 9 or more three-pointers. The volume for Miller is here as he has taken command of being the No. 2 scoring option in Charlotte. Miller scored 19 points in the earlier season meeting with Detroit on 6-for-16 shooting, 3-for-11 from three, and 4-for-4 from the charity stripe. Those efforts could be a small reflection of how he’s been playing now, so I like Miller Over 18.5 Points against the Pistons.” Here are the best bets our model is projecting for the Pistons and the Hornets: · Moneyline : NBC Sports finds confidence in taking Detroit on the ML (-130) · Spread : NBC Sports has strong confidence in Detroit -2 on the spread · Total : NBC Sports has low confidence towards a play on the Total UNDER 221.5 points Want even more NBA best bets and predictions from our expert staff & tools?
