Arts Fort Worth, which managed the facility at 1300 Gendy St. for 22 years, will continue to manage the city’s public art and grant programs as well as serve as a resource for artists and other arts organizations within the community. The building was first constructed in 1954 with new additions in 1966 and 1976. “We’ve been able to do a lot of really meaningful things through this physical space,” said Wesley Gentle, executive director and president of Arts Fort Worth. “Those things have been tied to this physical space, and so much of the next step for us is taking that same energy ... (and) motivation for our community and doing it in a way that isn’t rooted in one spot.” Arts Fort Worth announced it would vacate the building in July, shortly after one of its anchor subtenants, KWC Performing Arts, abruptly announced its closure . The city-owned building is in need of roughly $30 million in repairs , which Arts Fort Worth would be responsible for, according to its lease agreement. Continuing operations there would not be financially sustainable, Gentle said last summer. City officials have explored different options for redeveloping the building. After issuing a request for proposals, hosting public presentations and announcing two finalists, the city ultimately decided not to move forward with either plan in May. The future of the building is still uncertain, but Mayor Mattie Parker assured residents at a 2023 City Council meeting that the location would continue to serve the arts community. Several artists and longtime Fort Worth residents paid homage to the center during a Dec. 6 open house event hosted by Arts Fort Worth. Artist Val Hunnicutt hopes that the building, which once housed the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, can be preserved. “It’s hard to think about not having it here,” she said. The mixed media artist said she always looked forward to Historic Fort Worth Inc.’s annual show when it was still hosted in the space, often creating new work for the occasion. Likewise, professional pianist and art collector Cynthia Ann Miller has fond memories of the space. “I don’t think I missed any of their shows when they had the whole place filled with art, and you could walk in for free and enjoy yourself,” she said. Miller has reverence for all of the wonderful things that happened there, she continued, but she wants people to look at this change as an opportunity. “It will not be the same,” she said. “It will be better. We will learn and we will grow.” During a presentation to attendees, Gentle shared how Arts Fort Worth is planning to better serve residents across the sprawling city. By hosting an arts summit at Texas Wesleyan University in March, Arts Fort Worth hopes to reach more people from the Poly neighborhood while also highlighting the resources that recently opened on the Eastside like Easyside , TUBMAN Gallery and Kinfolk House . “We do want to see you continue to pop up in other parts of town because then we have a different audience and it’s, you know, usually you have some people that’ll travel to find the resources they need, but oftentimes for any number of reasons, right?” Gentle said. “You just physically can’t get there. The time of day doesn’t work. When we move around, it’s easier to meet people where they are.” The space is one where many artists made their stage debut or participated in their first gallery show, and it has many meaningful memories for Gentle as well, he said. He remains hopeful that Arts Fort Worth will continue to make an impact moving forward. “It’s going to be a process, and I’m excited for the process. I hope more people get excited to join us and be a part of it because it’s only as good as the team that we’re working with, the partners you’re working with,” Gentle said.

Trump promises 'hell to pay' in Middle East if hostages are not released before he takes officePhotographer at snowy Bills-49ers game wows NFL fans with dedication in freezing conditions

Interest rate cut fuels increase in home sales: London-St. Thomas Association of RealtorsBut he was named Monday to the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame. "How about that, huh?" Cook said with a chuckle Monday in a phone interview. Cook, a Roanoke County resident who once served as the groundskeeper for the Salem Pirates and Salem Buccaneers, has been the field and stadium consultant for Major League Baseball since 1991. The class of 2025 for the commonwealth's sports hall of fame was announced Monday. Other names of note in the nine-person class include 1975 Martinsville High School graduate and former Detroit Tigers second baseman Lou Whitaker; college basketball television analyst and ex-University of Virginia basketball player Dan Bonner; former soccer star Ali Krieger; ex-NBA player Joe Smith; and former Ferrum football standout Ed George. The class will be inducted in April in Virginia Beach. "Pretty humbling," said Cook, who learned of his selection last month. "Wasn't expecting that one at all. To be part of that group — some pretty high rollers there. Really. really honored to be a part of it." Cook, 64, is president of the Brightview Sports Turf Division, which manages the operations for Major League Baseball's special games in the U.S. and overseas. When Major League Baseball needs to build a field for a special MLB game or tailor an existing stadium for a special game, it turns to Cook. "I enjoy sharing what I've learned over the years," Cook said. "I've been fortunate to have the same crew with me for 25 years or so, so we know what MLB needs ... and we're able to produce some pretty unique things." One of Cook's newest projects will be turning Bristol Motor Speedway into the site of an Aug. 2 game between the Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves. "Doing what we're building down in the Bristol speedway ... is going to be quite unique," Cook said. "How that's going to come together in the time we have to do it, in 30 days, is going to be fun. "The entire field's being built in the middle of pit row. To level it, we're having to bring in almost 17,000 tons of stone and gravel just to be able to build a field on top of it. ... Along with that, there's everything else (to do) — fencing, backstop, ... the bullpens, locker rooms." One of his other new projects will be getting the Tokyo Dome ready for two games between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs in March. "Whenever you do things in another country, ... they have nice parks and we've got to come in and work with them and make some changes here and there to get it to an MLB level," Cook said. Earlier this year, Cook turned the Sky Dome in South Korea into the site of games between the Dodgers and San Diego Padres. He turned a Mexico City ballpark into the site of games between Houston and Colorado. He had just 18 days to turn London Stadium into the site of games between the New York Mets and Philadelphia. Also this year, Cook helped turn 114-year-old Rickwood Field, a former Negro League ballpark in Birmingham, Alabama, into the site of a game between the St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants. "We spent a lot of time trying to keep the historical features," Cook said. "A special event." Cook helped build a ballpark next to the setting of the "Field of Dreams" movie in Iowa for a 2021 game between the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox. "There was nothing out there but corn," Cook. In 2016, Cook helped build a ballpark on an old golf course at Fort Bragg for a game between the Braves and Marlins. In 2017, he turned a minor-league ballpark in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, into an MLB-certified ballpark for a game between Pittsburgh and the Chicago Cubs. The MLB Little League Classic has become an annual event. He also helped construct baseball fields for three Summer Olympics. George will be going into the hall of fame as the recipient of the hall's Distinguished Virginian award. "I was surprised by it," George, 78, said in a phone interview. "If you've been a poor boy all your life and you come from a bad childhood experience, ... you value this stuff. ... So I'm very pleased with it." The E.C. Glass High School graduate was an offensive lineman and tight end for Ferrum Junior College in 1967 and 1968. He then played for Wake Forest and in the Canadian Football League and the NFL. He helped Montreal win two Grey Cups in the CFL and was chosen for the Canadian Football Hall of Fame. "Ferrum gave me a chance," George said. "I came from a very bad child life. I had the bad stepfather, ... got beat up a lot. Ferrum gave me a chance to go to college. "Coach Norton ... taught people what discipline was about — how to train, how to stay focused." George, a Charlottesville resident, used to work for an investment firm. "I consider myself as successful in business as I was in sports," George said. Whitaker played 19 seasons with the Tigers. He had 2,369 hits, 244 homers, 1,084 RBIs and 1,386 runs scored. The former American League rookie of the year and five-time All-Star helped Detroit win the 1984 World Series. Bonner is an analyst for ACC Network men's basketball telecasts and does NCAA Tournament games for CBS and Turner Sports. The Staunton resident used to be a commentator on ACC games for Raycom and for the ACC’s regional cable package. Smith shined at Maury High School and at Maryland before playing 16 seasons in the NBA. Krieger, a Forest Park High School graduate, helped the U.S. women's soccer team win two World Cups. The class also includes ex-Hampton High School football coach Mike Smith; Virginia Beach native and former Virginia Wesleyan basketball star Brandon Adair; and former Richmond News Leader and Virginian-Pilot sports writer Harry Minium.WASHINGTON — Matt Gaetz, who faced a torrent of scrutiny over allegations of sex trafficking and drug use, abruptly withdrew his bid to become attorney general Thursday in the first major political setback for President-elect Donald Trump since his election this month. Gaetz has consistently denied the allegations, but his prospective nomination ran into trouble in the Senate, where Republicans were deeply reluctant to confirm someone to run the same Justice Department that once investigated him for allegations of sex trafficking an underage girl even though no charges were brought.

The deal, announced on Tuesday night, will see hostilities between Israel and Iran-backed militants Hezbollah suspended for 60 days, with both sides withdrawing from southern Lebanon. Brokered by the US and France, the agreement is designed to provide a permanent end to the conflict, US President Joe Biden said following the announcement. But Israeli ministers insisted it would resume strikes on Lebanon if Hezbollah breached the terms of the ceasefire, while the deal does not affect Israel’s continuing war with Hamas in Gaza. In a statement, Sir Keir Starmer described the deal as “long overdue”, saying it would “provide some measure of relief to the civilian populations of Lebanon and northern Israel, who have suffered unimaginable consequences during the last few months of devastating conflict and bloodshed”. He said: “Now, this deal must be turned into a lasting political solution in Lebanon, based on Security Council Resolution 1701, that will allow civilians to return permanently to their homes and for communities on both sides of the border to rebuild. “The UK and its allies will continue to be at the forefront of efforts to break the ongoing cycle of violence in pursuit of a long-term, sustainable peace in the Middle East. My statement on the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanese Hizbollah. pic.twitter.com/ZAxApKpJIT — Keir Starmer (@Keir_Starmer) November 26, 2024 “We must see immediate progress towards a ceasefire deal in Gaza, the release of all hostages and the removal of restrictions on desperately needed humanitarian aid.” The announcement of the deal follows a day of intense Israeli air strikes in Beirut, with local authorities saying at least 24 people were killed in the bombardment while Hezbollah continued to fire rockets into northern Israel. Recommending the ceasefire to his cabinet, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the deal would isolate Hamas in Gaza and allow Israel to focus more on Iran, which supports both Hamas and Hezbollah and has staged attacks on Israel in recent months. Foreign Secretary David Lammy said the announcement offered “hope” and must become “a turning point that builds momentum towards a lasting peace across the Middle East”. He said: “The UK was the first G7 country to call for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Lebanese Hezbollah in September and we have worked relentlessly since with our allies and partners to apply pressure to end this conflict since. “We strongly urge all parties to use this agreement to open a pathway to a lasting peace.” While aid organisations have welcomed the ceasefire, they have also called for it to be made permanent and extended to the conflict in Gaza. Amelia Whitworth, head of policy, campaigns and youth at the children’s charity Plan International UK, welcomed news of the deal. She said: “It is essential that all parties respect this ceasefire so that vital humanitarian aid can be delivered to the children and families that desperately need it.” Ms Whitworth added: “Today’s agreement must act as a vital step towards a sustained, permanent ceasefire – both in Lebanon and across Gaza and the wider Middle East region. “The horror must stop immediately, all children deserve to enjoy their childhood free from the threat of violence.” Paras Tamang, global humanitarian director at ActionAid, echoed her comments, saying the ceasefire would provide “temporary relief” for civilians but was “not an acceptable long-term solution to the crisis”. Mr Tamang said: “Whilst air strikes may stop for a while, the fallout from these attacks will continue to be felt for years to come. “More humanitarian aid is needed to help the hundreds of thousands of people who have lost everything.” According to the UN, more than 3,700 people, including 240 children, have been killed in Lebanon since the latest round of fighting began in October 2023, while around 900,000 have been displaced.

Last holiday for Biden White House celebrates 'a season of peace and light'

Martin Marietta Materials Inc. stock falls Tuesday, underperforms marketnanamica Introduces Thermoregulating KODENSHI Wool Sweater and Vesthas been sued by investors who claim that the media conglomerate lied about potential fallout from its loss of rights. A proposed class action, filed in New York federal court on Monday, accuses WBD of mischaracterizing the impact that losing rights to regular and postseason games for its TNT network would have on its business. In August, a month after the NBA officially rejected WBD’s offer to match the rights package that it cut with Amazon, the company $9.1 billion goodwill impairment charge related to the depreciation of its TV networks, which accounts for its failure to renew its deal with the league. The company’s stock fell by nearly nine percent in after-hours trading the day the announcement was made. TNT has been a broadcast partner with the NBA since 1988, paying an annual average fee of $1.2 billion under its existing agreement with the league. Earlier this year, the NBA entered into discussions with various partners for a new round of deals after WBD failed to reach a new contract within its exclusive negotiating window. In July, the NBA announced a trio of blockbuster TV and streaming rights packages with Disney, NBCUniversal and Amazon. The lawsuit takes issue with WBD’s failure to disclose that the loss of NBA rights were likely to cause the company to significantly reevaluate its business, reflected in the massive impairment charge. It points to optimistic statements about WBD’s prospects this year from chief executive David Zaslav, who said in a February earnings calls that the company is “now on solid footing with a clear pathway to growth” and is “confident in its ability to drive sustained operating momentum and enhanced shareholder value.” In regard to the state of negotiations with the NBA at the time, he said discussions were “constructive and productive.” When an analyst noted the positive news, WBD chief financial officer Gunnar Wiedenfels responded, “It’s very easy to lose control over sports rights investments,” the lawsuit says. He added, “That’s not what we do. We’re going — we know exactly what value we assign and we stay disciplined during our discussions.” Investors take aim at “boilerplate” representations regarding WBD’s investments in securing licenses for sports programming in its impairment analysts last year. The company stated that its ability to obtain the licenses “will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations” while downplaying the risk of impairment charges, according to the complaint. “Plainly, the foregoing risk warning was a generic, catch-all provision that was not tailored to WBD’s actual known risks regarding its sports rights negotiations with the NBA,” states the lawsuit. In May, after WBD’s exclusive sports rights negotiating window with the NBA expired without a deal, Zaslav in an earnings call touted the company’s decades-long partnership with the league and its rights to match any competing offers. The lawsuit targets WBD neglecting to disclose in financial filings the increased risk of recording billions of dollars in impairment charges if it were to lose NBA rights. When WBD reported its second quarter earnings in August, Wiedenfels pointed to “sports right discussion like the one with the NBA” as a “triggering event” for the reevaluation of the company’s business. He explained, “That’s what then leads to evaluation, which in the second quarter happened to be $9.1 billion below what was on the books for the network segment.” To pursue the lawsuit, investors must prove that the defendants, who include Zaslav and Wiedenfels, knew that their statements were misleading or were acting in reckless disregard of the information known to them at the time. WBD didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. In July, WBD sued the NBA in New York state court after the league refused to accept the company’s matching offer for one of the packages in its new 11-year media rights deal. As part of a , reached earlier this month, will appear on ESPN and ABC beginning next season. TNT Sports will continue to produce the show, with the quartet of Ernie Johnson Jr., Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Shaquille O’Neal expected to remain.
