CHICAGO — Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson passed the point of no return following a 4-2 loss to Boston. That’s when he decided to replace coach Luke Richardson. “I don’t think once you cross that threshold in your own mind, you can go back,” Davidson said. “And so I crossed that point after the Boston game the other night.” The aftermath of that decision began in earnest when Chicago practiced for the first time under interim coach Anders Sorensen — a day after the Richardson move was announced by the organization. The big task for Sorensen is turning around a team that wasn’t exactly built for a playoff run this season, but one Davidson feels is better than its NHL-worst 8-16-2 record. The offensively challenged Blackhawks have lost four in a row and eight of 10 overall going into a game against Winnipeg. “I don’t believe this is a last-place group. And that’s where we find ourselves,” Davidson said in his first media session since Richardson was fired. “Do I believe we deserve better in some games that we didn’t get a point or two points out of this year? Yes. But dissect that. Why didn’t we get those points? I feel like there were things that could be cleaned up. And maybe some things kept popping up here and there that, again, probably should have been improved upon.” Richardson, 55, had a 57-118-15 record in two-plus seasons with Chicago. The coaching change comes with the Blackhawks set to host the Winter Classic on Dec. 31 against the St. Louis Blues at Wrigley Field. In a statement released by the team, Richardson said he was grateful for the opportunity to coach the Blackhawks and wished the team and its fans the best for the rest of the season. Sorensen, 49, was the head coach at Rockford in the AHL before he got the interim job, making him a familiar face for many of the Blackhawks. He was hired by the organization as a development coach ahead of the 2013-14 season. He joined the IceHogs staff as an assistant coach beginning in 2018-19. Sorensen becomes the first Swedish-born head coach in NHL history. “I think for me, I’ve been a big believer in where my two feet are is where I’m going to work and try to get better and we’ll see what happens,” Sorensen said. “Obviously, like you said, you want to strive to improve and get up to higher levels. It’s surreal right now, trying to digest.” Asked what he needs to do to secure the job long-term, a chuckling Sorensen responded: “Win games.” “We want to see progress with a lot of our younger players,” he continued. “We want to make sure we’re kind of building off this and progressing and that’s the biggest thing.” Connor Bedard’s development has always been the most important part of this season for Chicago, and it seemed as if his progress had stalled a bit with Richardson in charge — at least offensively. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 draft has five goals and 14 assists in 26 games after he had 11 goals and 10 assists at the same point last season. While he has been more responsible defensively, the 19-year-old Bedard and the Blackhawks were hoping for more offensive production in his second year. “He’s one of those guys we have to get him up the ice and get skating,” Sorensen said. “That’s when he’s at his best. We all see what he can do when the puck’s on his stick. We have to get a way for him to get the puck in motion. That’s the biggest thing right now.” Bedard called Richardson “a really good guy” and said he was sad seeing him go. But he also was looking forward to working with Sorensen. “It’s good to have the first skate and get comfortable and talk to him,” Bedard said. “It’s good we all know him a little bit from being at training camps and stuff like that, so it was a good first day.” While Bedard attracts the most attention, Chicago’s offensive trouble runs a lot deeper than its young center. The Blackhawks signed Tyler Bertuzzi and Teuvo Teravainen in free agency, and the two forwards have combined for just 11 goals and 11 assists. Chicago is averaging 2.42 goals per game, ranked No. 31 in the NHL ahead of only Nashville. The Blackhawks finished with a league-low 178 goals last season. “Everyone needs to take ownership of this,” captain Nick Foligno said. “The sad part is one person maybe takes the fall, but it’s all of us that need to be better in here. We’re excited to get to work with Anders, and I think Luke would want us to forge ahead, too. He cares a lot about this group and this organization so the best we can do is get moving ahead here and show we can be that team.”FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Josh Hoover threw for 252 yards and a touchdown and JP Richardson had 149 all-purpose yards and a 38-yard touchdown reception to lead TCU over Arizona 49-28 on Saturday. On the first play from scrimmage, Wildcats quarterback Noah Fifita was intercepted by Bud Clark. TCU scored five plays later on Trent Battle’s 4-yard run.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The original version of this piece was published in November 2019 as The Nassau Guardian observed its 175th anniversary. By Bahamian standards of longevity, The Nassau Guardian has been around since King Hammer was a hatchet, as the old saying goes. And that’s a mighty long time! Indeed the oldest continuously operating institutions in this country today are the legislature, the Anglican Church, the police force, the Baptist then Presbyterian then Methodist churches followed by (after a gap of about 50 years or so) The Nassau Guardian in 1844. From then to now, The Guardian has been an integral part of the life of The Bahamas, not only as a purveyor of pure news (if there is ever such a thing) and chronicler of our history but as a major shaper of public opinion over the past 180 years on a multitude of things, large and small. I offer some reflections on The Guardian ’s evolution over that timespan. Broadly speaking, The Guardian ’s history can be divided into: (1) the Moseley era (from the founding of the newspaper in 1844 until the mid-point of the 20th Century, give or take a few years, and (2) what might be described — unimaginatively, I admit — as the post-Moseley era (from 1955 to the present). The Moseley era (1844 –1955) The dominant figure in The Guardian ’s Moseley era was not its founder and first editor, Edwin Charles Moseley, but rather his granddaughter, Miss Mary Moseley (she died a spinster with neither chick nor child). About 20 years ago, in a piece I wrote on the July 1926 hurricanes, I described Mary Moseley (1878-1960) in these terms: No other woman, before or since, has exercised such influence on public opinion in The Bahamas. Moseley was a woman of many parts, not all of them in harmony with each other. She was (in no particular order) an exemplar of Victorian virtue; a true patriot and staunch supporter of the British Empire (she had received an MBE while in England for services to convalescing British soldiers in World War I); a racial bigot; a woman of great compassion for the poor and needy; doyenne of Bahamian journalists; walking encyclopedia of Bahamian history; publisher and editor of the very first Bahamas Handbook in 1926; pioneering advocate for environmental conservation and civic beautification; and among other social positions, a leading light of the Bahamas Chapter of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire to which none but the cream of white society dared beg admittance. She was, for certain, an immensely gifted writer with a distinct leaning towards the use of lyrical prose even in her news stories. One striking example would be furnished in her description of the July 1926 hurricane as it was preparing to barrel into Nassau, observing how: “.... the mighty silk cotton trees which with almost uncanny insight promptly shed their leaves and stood gaunt and stripped for battle against the awful strokes of the gale.” Of greater consequence, Moseley was the local media’s voice for what Aaron Burr would have called in his time the “best blood of the country”. She was convinced that it coursed through the veins of the two dominant and closely-leagued political figures of the early 20th Century Bahamas: the speaker of the House of Assembly and the leading member of the legal profession, Harcourt Malcolm (with whom Moseley shared a close friendship and a consuming passion for Bahamian historical research), and Sir George Gamblin, the local head of the Royal Bank of Canada and, next to Malcolm, the most influential member of the House of Assembly. This pair constituted the twin-head of the local political aristocracy (soon to be joined by A.K. [Sir Kenneth] Solomon). Making no apologies for it, Mary Moseley was their most formidable promoter and ardent defender. The Guardian , however, was not all about local politics and international affairs. Thrice weekly, it also covered the births, christenings, betrothals, marriages, anniversaries, scholastic achievements, travels, soirees, amusements, sporting and recreational activities and the illnesses and deaths of the ruling class. Moseley’s Bahamas, as perceived through the lens of The Guardian , was strictly upper crust and, even more so, lily-white. Back then if you wanted to get caught up on what colored folk – 80-85 percent of the population – might be up to in their social lives, you would have to read The Tribune. Moseley had no time for such trifles. The Guardian in the Moseley era became increasingly conservative and uncompromisingly supportive of the racialist policies of the local oligarchy, especially from the 1930s. (By contrast, its nemesis, the Nassau Daily Tribune, under Etienne (later Sir Etienne) Dupuch, was the crusader-in-chief for social reform, racial equality and liberal causes generally, all while maintaining a steadfast loyalty to crown and empire). It was ironic that The Guardian should have cast itself in this rearguard role, considering its genesis. The founder of the newspaper, the first of the Moseleys in The Bahamas, had emigrated from England to work for The Argus, an unabashedly racist and inflammatory newspaper which, under its editor, George Biggs, had been the most outspoken and virulent of the local proponents for the retention of slavery in the run-up to Abolition in 1834. The story that has come down, and there is no reason to think it apocryphal, is that the original Edwin Moseley was so revolted by the racism of The Argus that he declined to take up his appointment, becoming a teacher instead at the recently established King’s College (under the auspices of King’s College, London). Located just off East Street and East Hill Street where the Royal Victoria Hotel would later be established, the school was an intriguing, if ultimately unsuccessful, social experiment for its time, with its consciously non-racial admissions policy and its racially balanced group of shareholders and board of directors. But that is a story for another time. Suffice it to say here that after a few years teaching, E.C. Moseley (as he was referred to) segued into the journalistic career that would occupy the rest of his working life, all of it at The Guardian. Despite the liberalism on race that was evident at the founding of The Guardian , it would not endure. Under Mary Moseley, The Guardian would become ever more dismissive of all the talk about (and later the outcry from certain quarters for) the curtailment of racial discrimination in the body politic and in the society at large. Moreover, it resolutely supported the maintenance of the status quo in relation to virtually all things political and social. To the end, Mary Moseley remained a creature of 19th Century arch-conservative thinking. (Note: Mary Moseley deserves a full-length biography. She was a remarkable lady, especially for her times and considering - ironically again - the systemic discrimination against women that was a mark of those times. In the meantime, those interested in learning more about her should refer to the short monographs written about her a while back by Ruth Bowe [now Madam Justice Ruth Bowe-Darville]; James Lawlor and the late Benson McDermott, himself a former editor of The Guardian) . The post-Moseley era (1955-present) The beginning of the post-Moseley era saw The Guardian falling into the hands of a group that made it no secret that its singular mission was to preserve and perpetuate the hegemony of the local oligarchy which was at that time coalescing into what would soon become the United Bahamian Party. That The Guardian was in this period essentially a propaganda tool for this group, the soon-to-be ancient regime, is not a matter for serious debate. Moreover, the racist policies of The Guardian became even more blatant than they had been in the Moseley Era. Indeed, Sir Etienne Dupuch, in his autobiography, "The Tribune Story” wrote: “Even as late as 1961, The Guardian emphasized in an advertisement in ‘Editor and Publisher’ that it ‘reaches practically 100% of the WHITE population of The Bahamas” (the word “White” really was in caps). Following the achievement of Majority Rule in 1967 under the Progressive Liberal Party (which both The Guardian and the Tribune had found common cause in vigorously opposing), a non-Bahamian/non-resident group headed by a wealthy American, John Perry, bought T he Guardian . They would continue to hold the majority stake for the ensuing 35 years or so until selling out to its present Bahamian owners about 22 years ago. In the post-Majority Rule part of the post-Moseley era to date (longhand for saying from 1967 to the present), it is, I think, fair to say that The Guardian has, for the most part, placed itself in the middle of the political road in its editorial policy notwithstanding that there have been extensive periods within that time swath when it was routinely dismissed by some as being joined-at-the-hip to the FNM or, if not that, biased towards the party in power. Speculation in the latter regard was no doubt fueled by a cynical perception that the Perry Group and later the present owners saw The Guardian as a business opportunity and/or as a support apparatus for their other, more consequential, business interests rather than a furnace to stoke any crusading zeal over the burning issues of the day that they might otherwise have had. Competing for government contracts for the printing of the official Gazette and the like was also seen by some, post 1967 until the '90s at least, as giving rise to a need to curry favor with the party in power by leveraging a neutral or perhaps only mildly critical editorial policy. Whether there is a kernel or two of truth in that is likely never to be known. It’s not something that lends itself to easy confession nor is it the kind of stuff that ends up in tactful memoirs. Be that as it may, looking at The Guardian today, it is fair, I think, to pronounce the following verdict: It is more balanced and objective in its editorial policy and news coverage than it has ever been before. It’s an equal opportunity exposer and slayer of the corrupt and the incompetent, the pompous and foolish alike, no matter which party is in power. Conversely, there is, in my estimation, no shortage of editorials praising the soundness of new ideas and the goodness of men and women when they do good, no matter which side of the political aisle (or wherever else) they might spring from. Some others may see it differently. I do not. Moreover, in terms of the width and breadth of its non-news subjects, The Guardian is today a far more interesting publication than ever before. Moreover, the social and racial snobbery that disfigured the newspaper in the Moseley Era and first decade of the Post-Moseley Era is long gone. If it is indeed correct that today's Guardian should be characterized in the way I have suggested in the last two paragraphs above, what better footing can there be for the nation’s oldest newspaper as it both celebrates its 180th anniversary and launches itself towards the ever-nearer milestone of its bicentenary in 2044. Congratulations and best wishes!

This release was published on openPR.Mikaela Shiffrin's bid for a milestone 100th alpine World Cup victory was on hold after the US superstar crashed out of the Killington giant slalom won by Sweden's Sara Hector on Saturday. Shiffrin, already the owner of the most World Cup victories in history, was poised to claim a once unimaginable century after topping the first-run times. She looked on course for the win when she crashed heavily in the second leg and Sweden's Olympic gold medaallist Hector emerged with the victory with a total of 1min 53.08sec. Shiffrin, whose mistake rounding a turn caused her to lose her balance and slide through a gate, lost one ski and careened into the catch-fencing. She was taken from the course on a sled, offering a wave to fans on her way. The extent of any possible injuries she might have suffered was not immediately known. "Mikaela took the sled down and is currently being evaluated," USA Ski & Snowboard said in a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter. "More info to come, but take solace in the fact that she asked about her splits." Shiffrin, 29, already has 13 more World Cup wins than the most successful man, Ingemar Stenmark, and 17 more than the second woman, compatriot Lindsey Vonn. Needing three wins to hit 100 to start the season, she bagged her 98th and 99th career titles with back-to-back slalom wins in Levi, Finland, and Gurgl, Austria. That gave her a chance to complete her century in front of home fans in Killington, not far from where she attended Burke Mountain Academy as a youngster. Shiffrin -- who has won six slaloms at Killington but never a giant slalom -- was greeted by ecstatic cheers as she crossed the finish line of the first leg atop the times. She was 17-hundredths of a second ahead of Hector after the second sector of her second run. But her day ended not in celebration but in the 21st "Did Not Finish" in her 274 career starts. Vonn, who has just announced plans to come out of retirement, posted on social media: "Hope @MikaelaShiffrin is OK." Hector was delighted with her win, while sympathetic to Shiffrin. "I'm very happy, after going through a difficult period," she said. "Obviously, I'm very sad for Mikaela who was skiing so well. "I saw her fall. My heart goes out to her," she added. Croatia's Zrinka Ljutic finished second, 54-hundredths of a second behind Hector, and Switzerland's Camille Rast was third, 1.05 seconds back. The women are scheduled to race a slalom on Sunday. bb
