Before the weekend, Siena was on a five-game losing streak and was able to snap it but took a step backward and now have a sour taste in their mouths from Sunday's loss to The Mount. Head Coach Carmen Maciariello believes it's time to turn the page and look ahead to regroup for their next challenge. Obviously, I thought the crowd was great. Guys sensed tremendous energy Friday night I thought we played extremely hard, I thought we won a ton of fifty-fifty balls, we made more winning plays in particular some of the play of our younger guys, obviously most of our guys are younger," said Maciariello.

Ask Amy: Yoga friendship is out of alignment

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:32:06 GMT

Dear Amy: I made friends with “Bruce” at a yoga class about 10 years ago.We’d meet for classes and then grab dinner.I moved away about a year into the friendship, and we lost touch.Just before the pandemic, Bruce was visiting the city where I lived and looked me up.We grabbed dinner and he told me he had no close friends (his previous friends had ghosted him) and that he had considered suicide.I told him to get in touch any time, and that he was welcome to visit. I also told him to seek help.He took me up on the offer and started visiting every two or three months (including on Christmas and for his birthday) — and stayed for two or three days each time. We didn’t have much to talk about. Bruce was fussy and demanding and frankly, I hated the visits, but I felt responsible.He also complained nonstop about his family and coworkers. It sounded like he’d also complained to them about me.Now I’ve moved back to the city where Bruce still lives. He’s made more friends, is closer to ...

On 4 December, the European Commission approved the addition of the Turkish table olive ‘Edremit Körfezi Yeşil Çizik Zeytini' to the register of Protected Designations of Origin (PDO) and ‘Maraş Tarhanası', a Turkish fermented food, to the register of Protected Geographical Indications (PGI).‘Edremit Körfezi Yeşil Çizik Zeytini' (pictured) is a table olive obtained from the Edremit variety, one of Türkiye's most popular varieties, by scratching and brining Edremit olives.Olive cultivation has a long tradition in the Edremit Gulf region.

There is no human intervention or chemical treatment during the fermentation of the olives. Therefore, the production process lasts at least six months after...

Bridge: Dec. 5, 2023

A woman member of my club approached me, wearing a look of exasperation.“Nobody told me,” she said, “that when you get a husband, the ears are sold separately.”“What happened?” I sighed.“We defended four spades in the morning duplicate,” she told me, displaying today’s deal. “I led a low heart against four spades. My husband was East. He took the ace and shifted to his singleton club. South won and led a trump to dummy’s queen.”MAKING FIVE“My husband took the ace and … returned a heart. Declarer won, drew trumps and ran the clubs, making five. I told my husband that he could easily beat the contract, and he acted as if he didn’t hear me. Maybe he needs a hearing aid.”The problem may not be hearing-related. East needs to know where West’s entry lies (assuming she has one). West might have either the king of hearts or the ace of diamonds. To find out, East ducks the first trump and wi...

Analysis: NFL’s Week 13 featured a phalanx of flags, curious non-calls and strange sideline squabble

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:32:06 GMT

While college football fans debate the merits of keeping unbeaten Florida State out of the playoffs because of a key injury and disqualifying Georgia following the Bulldogs’ first loss in 728 days, the NFL can preen over a postseason bracket that’s determined on the field itself.By the players and the coaches.OK, sometimes by the officials, too.An NFL season chock full of erratic enforcement of the rule book reached bedrock in Week 13, which kicked off with Dallas’ 41-35 win over Seattle in a rare Thursday night shootout that featured a phalanx of flags to go with its plethora of points.Sunday’s pair of marquee afternoon attractions featured crucial calls and non-calls alike as the two teams with the league’s longest active winning streaks both lost.In Houston, the Texans had a scoop-and-score wiped off by a quick whistle in their crucial 22-17 win over the Broncos, but they also got away with an obvious pass interference that denied Denver an early tou...

Analysis: As the NBA’s eyes are on Las Vegas, the Spurs and Pistons have a long road ahead

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:32:06 GMT

There was so much promise six weeks ago. San Antonio was reveling in the debut of Victor Wembanyama, the No. 1 pick who arrived with amazing fanfare. Detroit had a new coach in Monty Williams — just two years removed from taking Phoenix to the NBA Finals — and a roster featuring five top-five draft picks from the last five years.The Spurs started 3-2 and had a 21-point lead in the third quarter of their sixth game. The Pistons started 2-1, the only thing keeping them from a 3-0 start was a missed straightaway jumper by Cade Cunningham at the buzzer of their opener in Miami. So much promise, for both teams.And nothing since. Nothing.As the inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament winds down its quarterfinal round Tuesday and prepares to move amid the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas for its Final Four — capped Saturday by the awarding of a new trophy and the winning team’s players splitting about $8 million — the Spurs and Pistons are at the other end of the spectrum, mired already at the bo...
