Former Braves Star, NL Batting Champ Rico Carty Dies at 85
CHICAGO — It looked like the Vikings had put the game away for good on Sunday afternoon at Solider Field when a chip-shot field goal attempt from kicker Parker Romo sailed through the uprights in the final minutes. ADVERTISEMENT That made it 27-16 in favor of the Vikings with the Chicago Bears needing a miracle. They got it. After a big kick return put the Bears in very good field position, rookie quarterback Caleb Williams led an impressive drive, throwing a touchdown pass to receiver Keenan Allen to cut the deficit to 27-24. A blunder by the Vikings on the onside kick allowed the Bears to recover, then kicker Cairo Santos nailed a 48-yard field goal as time expired to tie the game at 27-27 and send it into overtime. In the extra session, veteran quarterback Sam Darnold took over for the Vikings. He went 6 for 6 passing on the final drive, setting up Romo for a game-winning field goal that helped the Vikings escape with a 30-27 win. The game looked like it was going to be a hot start for the Vikings after running back Aaron Jones got loose for a 41-yard gain. He was stripped of the ball at the goal line a couple of plays later, however, marking another missed opportunity for the Vikings in the red zone. ADVERTISEMENT That cracked the door open for the Bears, and the mobility of their rookie quarterback took centerstage. On a particular play, Williams avoided pressure from Andrew Van Ginkel off the edge, rolled to his right, then dropped a dime to D’Andre Swift along the sideline. That put the Bears in position to score, and running back Roschon Johnson found the into the end zone shortly thereafter to make it 7-0. In need of a response, the Vikings got it almost immediately when Darnold dropped back and unleashed a deep pass to receiver Jordan Addison. It was an incredible catch from Addison as he hauled it in while being dragged down from behind. On the very next play, Addison finished the drive, catching a touchdown pass in traffic to help the Vikings to tie the game at 7-7. The vibes shifted in favor of the Vikings on the following possession. ADVERTISEMENT It looked like the Bears had picked up a big gain when receiver Keenan Allen caught a ball along the sideline. After a challenge flag thrown by head coach Kevin O’Connell, however, the officials ruled that Allen did not get both feet in bounds. On the very next play defensive tackle Jerry Tillery blocked a field goal, and the Vikings kept the Bears off the board. That paved the way for the Vikings to take control as star receiver Justin Jefferson drew a 35-yard defensive pass interference penalty that put the ball in the red zone. A couple of plays later, Darnold found receiver Jalen Nailor for a touchdown to make it 14-7 in favor of the Vikings. After a punt by the Vikings, the Bears got a field goal Santos to cut the deficit to 14-10 at halftime. ADVERTISEMENT With an opportunity to take control coming out of halftime, Darnold found Addison with a perfect ball near the sideline that went for 69-yard gain. Unfortunately for the Vikings, they stalled out in the red zone, setting for a field goal from kicker Parker Romo to stretch the lead to 17-10. The biggest swing of the game came when receiver DeAndre Carter muffed a punt for the Bears, and edge rusher Bo Richter recovered the fumble for the Vikings. Not long after that, Jones atoned for his fumble with a touchdown to make it 24-10. After the Bears got a touchdown to cut the deficit to 24-16, it seemed like the Vikings put the game away with a field goal to restore the lead to 27-16. Not so fast. ADVERTISEMENT After an impressive drive by Williams helped cut the deficit to 27-24, the Bears recovered the onside kick. That set the stage for Santos to nail a 48-yard field goal to tie the score at 27-27 and send the game into overtime. In the extra session, the Vikings stepped up on defense by forcing a punt, then stepped up on offense with Darnold leading an impressive drive of his own. That set the stage for Romo and he nailed a 29-yard field goal to give the Vikings the win. ______________________________________________________ This story was written by one of our partner news agencies.

Florida First Senior Home Care Announces Name Change to CareGivers of America
SAN FERNANDO LANDMARK Petronila “Pette” Jorolan (top right), daughter of Everybody’s Café founders Benito and Carmen Santos, bridges the knowledge and skills to her son Pocholo, the third-generation heir to the restaurant that serves Kapampangan dishes. Benito, a blacksmith, made the frames still displayed at the restaurant along the old MacArthur Highway in the City of San Fernando, Pampanga. —Tonette T. Orejas and Billy Ruellos Danan CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, PAMPANGA, Philippines — If parking scarcity is any measure of popularity, then Everybody’s Café—a charming old restaurant with an inclusive name—seems to be a perennial favorite. Crowds gather, especially at lunch and dinner, drawn by its proud tagline: “The Home of Authentic Kapampangan Cuisine.” Founded in 1946 as the country was rebuilding from World War II, the restaurant was established by Benito Santos and Carmen Nogoy. Back then, Everybody’s Café began humbly, serving just two noodle dishes—“pancit luglog” and “mami”—with no formal menu to speak of. “The kitchen, I was told, was efficient. The broth just varied in quantities for the soup and the sauce,” recalled Pocholo “Poch” Jorolan, 48, the third-generation heir who lived with his grandparents until he was 2 years old. Benito and Carmen, who was more the entrepreneur, chose the name so “everybody can dine.” In postwar years, relations and social links were being restored. The original location of the 78-year-old restaurant was beside the San Fernando town hall where the children of firemen played. Benito, a skilled blacksmith who apprenticed at Arte de Español, crafted tables and chairs from wrought iron and salvaged materials from the then Clark Air Base of the United States Air Force. He also created metal frames for mirrors and prayer paintings. Remarkably, these items, along with Benito’s 1939 Columbia bicycle, are still in use at the restaurant’s current location. The native dishes that became staples of Everybody’s Café emerged from the couple’s habit of “sharing” their own meals with customers straight from the kitchen. “That’s how the turo-turo (pointing) style began,” explained Jorolan. In this dining style, dishes are displayed behind glass panels, and customers simply point to the viand or “pagmayumu” (dessert) they want. While Carmen managed finances and handled purchases, her sister Liling (Leonora Nogoy Bamba) focused on public relations, often inviting people to “try our home-cooked food.” Another sister, Toring (Victoria), oversaw the kitchen operations and cooking. Family members—nephews and nieces—served as food servers and assistants. By 1967, Benito had built a combined home and restaurant along MacArthur Highway (then known as Manila North Road), the region’s main thoroughfare. Ahead of his time, Benito erected a fiberglass signboard for the restaurant and installed air-conditioners in the dining area—one of the first establishments in San Fernando to do so. “When people were asked where they were going to eat, they’d say, ‘ketang aircon (in the air-conditioned place),’” Jorolan shared. The restaurant’s basement became a popular venue, hosting events for up to 400 guests, as remembered by Petronila “Pette” Santos, the Santos couple’s daughter and Jorolan’s mother. Unfortunately, the basement was buried under lahar after Mt. Pinatubo’s eruption in 1991, and it remains unreclaimed to this day. Before their passing in 1991 and 1996, respectively, Benito and Carmen established core values for the business. “Treat employees well. Pay them fairly. Provide them with free meals. Pay suppliers on time. Source locally,” Pette, now 72, recalled in quick succession. For instance, “kamaru” (mole crickets), a local delicacy, was once sourced from Magalang, Pampanga. Today, most of the supply comes from Concepcion, Tarlac, near the Magalang border. Pette remains hopeful that the supply will continue to thrive, noting that the pandemic has given the soil some respite. Pette believes Everybody’s Cafe has a bright future because her eldest son, Jorolan, is deeply passionate about Pampanga’s culture. STEWARD Pocholo “Poch” Jorolan, who now oversees Everybody’s Café, the restaurant founded by his grandparents, says he’s “more than a COO (child of the owner).” —Tonette T. Orejas Jorolan, who studied entrepreneurial management at the University of Asia and the Pacific, has immersed himself in the business, learning both the culinary and operational aspects of the restaurant. Joking about his role, Jorolan said: “I’m more than a COO (child of the owner).” Pette, as the second-generation steward, sees herself as a bridge to help Jorolan become a “good caretaker” of the legacy left by the founders. Jorolan has embraced his responsibilities with enthusiasm, learning to cook and even launching food tours in 2008 at the request of friends. These tours, held three to five times a month, are inspired by Patis Tesoro’s “Viaje del Sol.” As a modern torchbearer, Jorolan has introduced innovations like blast freezing to maintain the quality of dishes when reheated. Since 2008, he has been selling Everybody’s Cafe specialties every Saturday at Salcedo Market in Makati City. Jorolan also values the role of social media in connecting with the younger generation. He finds joy in seeing elderly patrons bring their grandchildren to the restaurant, preserving the tradition of family meals and storytelling. Subscribe to our daily newsletter By providing an email address. I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . At home, Jorolan instills these values in his children, Alexa and Carlos, teaching them the concept of “mumuli” (coming home) to nurture a sense of belonging and an appreciation for the distinct flavors of home.
General Election 2024: Will independents snap up a record number of seats?
Tonight, BBC audiences were glued to their seats as they watched who would be the last couple to leave before the live final in Strictly Come Dancing : The Results. Couples that remain in the running include Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell, JB Gill and Lauren Oakley, Pete Wicks and Jowitza Przystal, Tasha Ghouri and Aljaž Škorjanec, and Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola. The first two couples announced for the final were Chris and Dianne and Sarah and Vito, while Tasha and Aljaž were told they were have to dance again. Strictly host Claudia Winkleman sat down to interview Sarah and Vito after the news was announced, and things quickly turned emotional. Claudia asked Sarah what she wanted to say to Vito following their success in the competition, which caused her to break down in tears. "You believe in me and I'm so grateful, because I couldn't have got here with anybody else and you put so much work into our routines. "You are so meticulous about everything and you contantly - even when you're not in the rehearsal room - you're thinking about things and you're sending me messages... "I'm so grateful to you," she added tearfully, as Vito interjected: "I said to you in the beginning that my way of teaching is like a mirror. So if I do what I do, I just mirror who I have in front of me, and you deserve all of this." Sarah let out a sob, as a similarly tearful Claudia admitted: "I've gone! I did not expect that." Last night, fans called on BBC bosses to make major changes to the show next year after professional dancer Lauren dazzled once more with her celebrity partner JB. Lauren has been stepping in for Amy Dowden, who had to withdraw from the competition earlier on in the series after sustaining a foot injury. Since then, JB has received accolades from fans for his seamless transition to dancing with Lauren, all while keeping Amy in his thoughts. On social media, many viewers insisted Lauren should be given a permanent spot in the competition last year, with one pleading: "That was a fabulous routine from JB and Lauren. Please please please don't bench Lauren next year. She's brought JB on by leaps and bounds this year." Another fan gushed: "I hope Lauren gets a partner next year. She's brilliant!" While a third viewer emphatically stated: "I don't want to see Lauren without a partner at the start of a series ever again!!" (sic) Strictly Come Dancing: The Final airs next Saturday at 6pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
Daily Post Nigeria EPL: Can’t cry about it — Arteta on Arsenal’s 1-1 draw at Fulham Home News Politics Metro Entertainment Sport Sport EPL: Can’t cry about it — Arteta on Arsenal’s 1-1 draw at Fulham Published on December 8, 2024 By Ifreke Inyang Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said they cannot “cry about” the 1-1 draw at Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday. Arteta, however, insisted his team deserved to take all three points. Raul Jimenez opened the scoring for the hosts in the first half before William Saliba levelled in the 52nd minute. Speaking after the match, Arteta said: “Gutted that we didn’t win it. We fully deserved to win it. That’s the quality of the opposition, so you cannot cry about it. We generated all the chances but it’s so difficult to attack.” Arsenal had 70 per cent possession and VAR denied Bukayo Saka what would have been a late winner.

His move from the African country in 2018 was anything but easy, but he was lucky to have a friend pulling him forward from middle school into his senior year with the Raptors. Stephen Thomas, his fellow wrestler, tapped into Kaboré’s competitive side, convincing him to join track, then football, and ultimately wrestling. “If it wasn’t for him, I don’t even think I would have picked up sports. He might not admit it, but he was one of my first friends I made in America,” Kaboré said. “I did not know anything about wrestling. I didn’t even know what wrestling was. I was like, ‘Oh, okay, I’ll try it out.’ I mean, he told me football was going to be fun and football was kind of fun. “Our first day of practice (freshman year), it felt like the worst thing I’ve done in my life. I don’t know what it was. My whole body, my lungs were burning. I almost cried as I was walking out of the wrestling room. It was really hard. If that’s what I have to go through every day, I don’t think I want to do this.” His first trial in the sport ended in error, but Thomas wouldn’t let it go. Over the course of the next year, he wore Kaboré down. “Well, see, I’m really persistent,” Thomas said. “I would come over to his house. We would practice doing athletic stuff because we like trying to do back flips. And then every 10 minutes, I’d be like, ‘Hey, you should definitely join wrestling.’ ‘Oh, yeah, wrestling is pretty cool.’ ‘Actually, you saw this move this guy, the fighter, did in here? Oh, that’s all wrestling right there.’ ‘You can unlock all these cool things if you just do wrestling.’” It wasn’t the only thing he helped his friend learn to love — and survive. “I taught him how to run. One day we were just racing, and, well, I find out he can’t run for nothing. He was pretty athletic and looked insane, but he couldn’t run. It was weird. It was like it was the first time he’s ever ran in his life. He kind of went off like this.” Thomas paused to demonstrate, running down the hall outside the gym with his arms flailing. “His arms weren’t coordinated, and he ended up tripping and almost knocking himself out on a brick wall. I had him walk through the steps, and after a while, he got pretty good. He found his own rhythm. He learned how to run himself. He probably doesn’t even remember me teaching him all that wrestling, just knowing that he fell and damn near lost his life.” Now, as Kaboré enters his third and final season on the mats, he’s preparing to take on another challenge — competing in the 215-lb. weight class at just 190 lbs. Last season, the grappler paved his own path toward the Class 4A state tournament at Ball Arena, but met a swift exit. He took it all in stride, focusing on just four moves to push him to a 23-16 record. He said that he practiced the double blast, single leg, sweep single and high seat until it all became second nature. He opened this season with a loss to Holy Family’s Camden Austin, but quickly corrected course to defeat opponents from Greeley West, Fossil Ridge and Eaglecrest. The hardship only hardened him for his athletic prowess on the mat. When Kaboré first arrived in the U.S., as only a middle schooler, certain things struck him as odd that he’d never thought about before. Waking up to eat breakfast, and later lunch, was foreign to a child that could only rely on dinner every day. In Burkina Faso, his large, extended family lived in a compound-style house. Here, they lived in an apartment, where his father often turned on Moana to help his kids learn English. Kaboré thanked the island-themed kid’s movie for helping him assimilate a bit faster to American life, just as one of its characters, Maui, said “you’re welcome” right back. That doesn’t mean it was an easy transition to start. “It felt like I was an outcast because I couldn’t express myself,” Kaboré said. “I could just look at people and maybe give head shakes or maybe say ‘hello,’ ‘thank you.’ That was all I could say, so it was definitely pretty hard.” Kaboré was fluent in French and Dyula, a West African language spoken primarily in Burkina Faso, Mali and the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire. He said he often had to watch the way his teachers’ mouths moved to decipher what they were saying, and struggled in his schooling. But as his English improved, so did his confidence. The shy, reserved middle schooler turned into a high schooler so social and confident that he had to teach his wrestling coach, Chris Blair, how to say “shut up” in Dyula. Blair has been with Kaboré from the beginning of his high school athletics experience. “In track, I just thought that he just didn’t want to listen,” Blair explained. “And then as I got to know him over the summer, it was like, no, he does listen. He just doesn’t know what we’re saying. For me, it just took me understanding that he just needs things said multiple times, different ways, and just kind of work with him on it.” Kaboré said that in his final season, he’s working toward placing as high as he can at the state tournament come February. He knows it won’t be easy battling guys 25 lbs. heavier than him, but if his life has taught him anything, it’s that he knows how to rise above the most challenging circumstances. The Raptors, in general, are better off for it. “He’s an awesome leader,” Blair said. “He’s gone through so much to get to the point where he’s at — language barrier, new sport, new country. But he’s one of the best leaders that we have, not only in wrestling, but he was awesome in football. He’s always smiling, always positive, always loving to be engaged with the group.” View a list of Prep sports and high school teams we cover.
