Leonard helps Duke stun No. 9 Clemson 28-7 in a lopsided ACC opener

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 01:28:13 GMT

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Riley Leonard broke loose from a tackler and sprinted to the open for a 44-yard touchdown that highlighted Duke’s tough and physical performance that shocked ninth-ranked Clemson 28-7 in Monday night’s season opener for both teams.Jaquez Moore added a 9-yard scoring run by beating multiple defenders to the near pylon on the right side in the fourth quarter for the Blue Devils (1-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), giving them an unexpected two-touchdown lead in a game they largely controlled in spite of numerous miscues.That’s because Duke thrice held up after Clemson had pushed inside the 10-yard line — even to the 1 on two of those possessions — to hold the Tigers scoreless. The Blue Devils blocked two field goals and twice forced fumbles in those critical near-the-goal-line moments. And they made Clemson work to move the chains instead of moving the ball in chunks under new offensive coordinator Garrett Riley.In short, the Blue Devils made the...

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 01:28:13 GMT

Montgomery County, Maryland, is sounding the alarm for homeowners, as the county and state see an avalanche of reports of home improvement scams.“It’s just overwhelming how many complaints we are receiving,” said Eric Friedman, director of Montgomery County’s Office of Consumer Protection.Friedman said the scams don’t involve small projects, such as getting ripped off after ordering a new fence or window. Rather, they are usually big projects that cost a lot of money.“We’re talking about tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars that consumers are paying upfront for all different kinds of home improvement work,” Friedman said.In many of these cases, so-called contractors show up to a person’s home and offer to do projects for them. They will say they have leftover materials from another project they are doing nearby and offer a deal to work on your home.Friedman said there are also those called “woodchucks” — people who get you to hire them to trim trees, and t...

(CNN Español) –– El presidente de Colombia, Gustavo Petro, dijo en su cuenta de X que jamás ha “recibido un diagnóstico de síndrome de Asperger”. Petro responde así a las declaraciones que su hermano Juan Fernando Petro ha brindado a varios medios, en las que afirma que un psicólogo los diagnosticó a ambos con la misma condición.El mandatario colombiano agregó en su mensaje: “Es imposible que nos hayan diagnosticado ese síndrome cuando éramos niños porque esa enfermedad solo empezó a diagnosticarse en 1994, cuando tenía 34 años de edad, y dejó de estar en los tratados de diagnósticos en el 2013, porque la ciencia la rechazó como una enfermedad específica”.La controversia llega justo después de que algunos dirigentes de oposición en Colombia han pedido que el presidente Petro se someta a exámenes médicos, tras su ausencia en varios eventos oficiales.El síndrome de Asperger es una condición que se ubica dentro del espectro autista. Se suele diagnosticar cuando una persona menor de eda...

Editorial: Gender reveal party tragedies mount – they must stop

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 01:28:13 GMT

Gender reveal parties have come a long way from releasing pink or blue balloons and frosting cupcakes. They’ve escalated to using smoke bombs and pyrotechnics to announce the “big reveal,” resulting in injuries, wildfires and death.They need to stop.On Sunday, a gender reveal party in Mexico featured a pilot releasing pink smoke from his plane. According to a video posted online, the plane’s left wing appeared to separate from the fuselage as it flew away from the group of people below.The plane crashed, and according to reports, the pilot died after being taken to a hospital.This wasn’t the only tragedy to stem from a gender reveal.A Southern California couple set off a smoke bomb at their Sept. 5, 2020 gender reveal.

Millard: Biden’s union subsidies clash with green agenda: experts

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 01:28:13 GMT

President Biden told an audience of unionized workers in Philadelphia in July month that his drive for green energy means jobs for them.“A lot of my friends in organized labor know: When I think climate, I think jobs. I think union jobs,” Biden said.But for climate activists, “union jobs” can mean “more carbon and less green energy.”And that, some economists say, is the contradiction at the center of the administration’s policy of spending billions on green energy projects and paying incentives to meet higher “prevailing wage” mandates.“It’s obviously a terrible strategy,” National Right to Work Committee Vice President Greg Mourad said. “They’re trying to shut down the vast majority of the workforce to help out Joe Biden’s union buddies who spent $2 million to get him elected.”Just 6% of the private-sector labor force belongs to a union.Biden acknowledged the Inflation Reduction Act was misnamed, saying it was “the single-largest investment in climate action in American history.” T...
