On a rare two-game skid, No. 24 Arizona faces Davidson
For another year local residents can be entered for a chance to win prizes just by supporting local Berthoud businesses. The Shop Local program will be returning to Berthoud businesses starting Saturday and running until late December, a program meant to get people out in town and enjoying their favorite local shops. Walt Elish, business development manager for Berthoud, said the program initially grew from the pandemic. He said that during the height of the pandemic, Berthoud residents were frequenting local shops more often but that ended up shifting. “When COVID winded down we looked at it and said ‘what else can we do to really support our downtown businesses during the holidays?’” he said. “We came up with this program.” Starting Saturday and running until Dec. 22, shoppers can bring a receipt from a local Berthoud storefront showing a purchase of more than $10 to one of three drop-off locations; a name and phone number must be written on the back of the receipt. Those receipts will then be entered into a pool of other entries and drawn each week for prize winners. While shoppers can submit as many receipts as they want, they will be limited to one prize per weekly drawing. Winners will receive one of 40 $75 gift cards with the grand prize being a $500 gift basket filled with products from Berthoud businesses. Some shoppers were ahead of the game Monday, like Berthoud resident Brooke Coats who stopped into Wishful Living along Mountain Avenue. She said she was in buying a gift for the host of a “Friendsgiving” party and decided to shop at the downtown store. She said while she has only been in the shop a few times, but likes the “little gifts” they offer. She also said she enjoys coming down to shops like Wishful Living to support “our little hometown.” “I want to give to the places near me,” she said. Connie Skinas, a manager at the store, said places like Wishful Living give customers “the right amount of personal attention” and a more personalized shopping experience. She also said programs like the Shop Local program are great for downtown shops. “Any small businesses (loves) having people come in, even if it’s just to window shop,” she said. “This is one way the town can directly say thank you to our downtown Berthoud business for being in Berthoud, for investing in Berthoud,” Elish said of the program. “We want to encourage Berthoud residents to come downtown and not only shop during the holidays, but throughout the course of the year. Through this incentive program for ... it will maybe bring people downtown who might not normally come downtown and see the benefits and see the products our businesses have and it will entice them to come back.” Receipts can be dropped off at the utility bill drop box or blue drop box at the front desk of the Berthoud Town Hall, 807 Mountain Ave., or at the Berthoud Recreation Center, 1000 Berthoud Parkway. Drawings will be held on Dec. 9, 16 and 23 with winners notified by 5 p.m. on each drawing day; prizes can be picked up between 7 a.m. and 5:15 p.m. Monday through Thursday at Town Hall. The winner of the gift basket will be drawn from all entries on Dec. 23. Elish said while the program is not exclusive to Berthoud residents, winners will have to come to Berthoud to pick up their prizes.

Leicester famously toasted their improbable Premier League success in 2016 with an impromptu bash at Vardy’s house. But the venue for last April’s party was not at the striker’s abode, but at Maresca’s house when the players turned up unannounced at 2am. Maresca recalled: “The best present I had from last season was when we got promoted and they arrived at my home. All the team. “This showed the connection between the players; they could go for a party at a different place but they all arrived at my home. It was a fantastic connection and I will always be thankful for them. “I was at home celebrating with my staff and my family and about two o’clock in the morning all the squad was there. We celebrated all together. Last night at Enzo’s 🏡 💙 pic.twitter.com/dqP8BFsDn3 — Leicester City (@LCFC) April 27, 2024 “When I was a player and I won things I never thought to go to the manager’s home. That shows the connection.” Similarly to when they clinched the Premier League crown, Leicester were not actually playing when they found out they were promoted after Leeds lost at QPR. “To be honest I was at home watching the game and when it finished all the staff came over – and later the players,” added the Italian. “They didn’t knock on the door, they were in the garden and knocked on the window. What time did they leave? I don’t remember.” Vardy might not be having a party at the end of this season but he is still banging in the goals at 37 and Maresca rates the striker even more highly than England’s two top goalscorers – Harry Kane and Wayne Rooney. “People don’t realise how good he is,” added Maresca. “I know England have been quite lucky because of Kane and Rooney, this type of striker, they are fantastic. “But Jamie is, if you ask me, the best one.” Maresca returns to the King Power Stadium for the first time with Chelsea on Saturday, but he will be without captain Reece James due to a hamstring problem.
Shohei Ohtani made history on Thursday by becoming the first designated hitter in baseball history to win a Most Valuable Player award. The Dodgers' star claimed was a unanimous selection in winning his first National League MVP award, and the second of his career, following his first season in Los Angeles. More news: Dodgers, Red Sox Talking to Same Two Free Agent Starters: Report Ohtani became the first player to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a single season, a feat he accomplished with a historic 6 for 6, three-homer, 10-RBI game Sept. 19 in Miami . He finished with 54 home runs and 59 stolen bases while hitting .310 and leading the Dodgers to the World Series. New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor finished second in the MVP voting, collecting 23 of the 30 votes from the Baseball Writers' Association of America, and Ketel Marte of the Arizona Diamondbacks finished third. " I think this MVP, I'm just representing the Dodgers ," Ohtani said through his interpreter, Matt Hidaka, after accepting the award live on MLB Network. " It was just a complete team effort. I wouldn't have been able to receive this award if it weren't for my teammates. If my teammates weren't there, if we didn't play as a team, we would not have gotten to the playoffs or won the World Series. I'm representing the team receiving this award." Ohtani was unable to pitch in 2024 while he rehabilitated his right elbow from surgery at the end of the 2023 season. That did not deter him from leading the Dodgers' offense as a DH — first as their number-2 hitter, then out of the leadoff slot for the second half. Here are the final vote totals for the NL MVP pic.twitter.com/Hm9omu42yg What was he most proud of? "The ultimate goal from the beginning was to win a World Series, which we were able to accomplish," Ohtani told the MLB Network panel.

He signed a landmark 10-year, $700 million contract with the Dodgers in Dec. 2023. Now he's won an MVP award unanimously three times. More news : Dodgers Will Consider Juan Soto in 'Unlikely' Event: Report In addition to his historic 50-50 season, Ohtani led the National League in on-base percentage (.390), slugging (.646), OPS+ (190), RBIs (130), runs (134) and Wins Above Replacement (9.2, according to Baseball Reference). No full-time DH had ever compiled 9 WAR in a single season. For more MLB news, visit Newsweek Sports .

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — A rare win as a double-digit underdog came just in time to let the Dallas Cowboys believe their playoff hopes aren't completely gone in 2024. Cooper Rush probably will need three more victories in a row filling in for the injured Dak Prescott for any postseason talk to be realistic. The thing is, the Cowboys (4-7) could be favored in two of those games, and already are by four points as an annual Thanksgiving Day host against the New York Giants (2-9) on Thursday, according to BetMGM. Not to mention the losing record at the moment for each of the next four opponents for the defending NFC East champions, playoff qualifiers each of the past three seasons. The Cowboys have a chance to make something of the improbable and chaotic 34-26 win at Washington that ended a five-game losing streak. “Behind the eight ball,” Micah Parsons said, the star pass rusher acknowledging the reality that Dallas hadn't done much yet. “Let’s see how we can handle adversity and see if we can make a playoff run. But we got a long way to go.” It was a start, though, powered in part by the best 55 minutes from the Dallas defense since the opener, when the Cowboys dismantled Cleveland and looked the part of a Super Bowl contender. The last five minutes for the Dallas defense against the Commanders looked a lot like most of the nine games after that 33-17 victory over the Browns. Which is to say not very good. Jayden Daniels easily drove Washington 69 yards to a touchdown before throwing an 86-yard scoring pass in the final seconds to Terry McLaurin, who weaved through five defenders when a tackle might have ended the game. The Cowboys kept a 27-26 lead thanks to Austin Seibert's second missed extra point, and withstood another blunder when Juanyeh Thomas returned an onside kick recovery for a TD rather than slide and leave one kneel-down from Rush to end the game. Dallas will have to remember it did hold a dynamic rookie quarterback's offense to 251 yards before the madness of the ending in the Cowboys' biggest upset victory since 2010 at the New York Giants. That one was too late to save the season. This one might not be. “We needed it,” embattled coach Mike McCarthy said. “It’s been frustrating, no doubt. We’ve acknowledged that. We’ve got another one right around the corner here, so we have to get some wins and get some momentum.” Rush ended a personal three-game losing streak with his best showing since the previous time he won as the replacement for Prescott, who is out for the season after surgery for a torn hamstring. The 117.6 passer rating was Rush's best as a starter, and the NFL's second-worst rushing attack played a solid complementary role with Rico Dowdle gaining 86 yards on 19 carries. KaVontae Turpin's electrifying 99-yard kickoff return did more than lift the Cowboys when it appeared an 11-point lead might get away in the final five minutes. It eased the worst day of special teams for Dallas since John Fassel took over that phase four years ago. Suddenly struggling kicker Brandon Aubrey had one field-goal attempt blocked and missed another. Bryan Anger had a punt blocked. For the second time in five games, Aubrey's attempt to bounce a kickoff in front of the return man backfired. The ball bounced outside the landing zone, putting the Commanders at the 40-yard line to start the second half and setting up the drive to the game's first touchdown. CB Josh Butler, whose NFL debut earlier this season came five years after the end of his college career, had 12 tackles, a sack and three pass breakups. The pass breakups were the most by an undrafted Dallas player since 1994. Rookie LT Tyler Guyton, who has had an up-and-down season with injuries and performance issues, was benched immediately after getting called for a false start in the fourth quarter. His replacement, Asim Richards, could be sidelined with a high ankle sprain that executive vice president of personnel Stephen Jones revealed on his radio show Monday. Veteran Chuma Edoga, who was the projected starter at Guyton's position before a preseason toe injury, was active but didn't play against the Commanders. He's awaiting his season debut. The status of perennial All-Pro RG Zack Martin (ankle/shoulder) and LG Tyler Smith (ankle/knee) will be a question on the short week after both sat against Washington. Stephen Jones indicated Smith could be available and said the same of WR Brandin Cooks, who hasn't played since Week 4 because of a knee issue. TE Jake Ferguson may miss at least a second week with a concussion. The short week might make it tough for CB Trevon Diggs (groin/knee) to return. 75% — Rush's completion rate, his best with at least 10 passes. He was 24 of 32 for 247 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. His other game with multiple TDs and no picks was a 25-10 victory over Washington two years ago, when he went 4-1 with Prescott sidelined by a broken thumb. There's some extra rest after the short week, with Cincinnati making a “Monday Night Football” visit on Dec. 9. The next road game is at Carolina on Dec. 15. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

The 6-foot-2 senior guard, in his first season at TCU after spending the past two at Arizona State, is scheduled to have surgery Tuesday in Dallas. Collins leads the Horned Frogs (5-4) with 11.2 points and 4.4 assists per game. He also averages 4.4 rebounds per game.

Collins played 31 games as a freshman for Michigan's NCAA Sweet 16 team in 2021-22 before transferring to Arizona State. He started all 32 games last season for the Sun Devils, averaging 13.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. He could potentially get another college season through a medical redshirt.

For years, coming-of-age movies have delighted audiences due to filmmakers’ abilities to capture the experiences that accompany adolescence. John Hughes’ highly quotable films and some of Steven Spielberg ’s magnificent movies are prime examples. There are so many great entries in the genre, though some that may get overlooked are those told from the perspective of African Americans. There are plenty of great Black-led movies that focus on the joys and pitfalls of growing up, and we’re going to discuss 12 that deserve your time. Cooley High (1975) Quite frankly, Michael Schulz’s Cooley High is one of the most underrated coming-of-age films of all time. The Chicago-set film primarily focuses on two best friends (played by the great Glynn Turman and Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs), who ponder their futures while engaging in teenage shenanigans amid their senior year of high school. Within this thoughtful tale are themes of loyalty, ambition, and masculinity, among others. And be warned: this film will make you laugh, but it’ll have ripped your heart out by the time it ends. Stream Cooley High on Tubi. Stream Cooley High on Pluto TV. Boyz N The Hood (1991) The late John Singleton is still remembered for a number of his films, but Boyz n the Hood arguably stands at the top of its filmography. His gripping early ‘90s flick about three young men growing up in South Central Los Angeles oozes authenticity and manages to convey both a sense of edginess and warmth. This critically acclaimed film is even more impressive when you consider that this is Singleton’s directorial debut. It also features great performances from Laurence Fishburne , Cuba Gooding Jr., Ice Cube and more. Stream Boyz n the Hood on Netflix. Menace II Society (1993) I’d certainly argue that, in some circles, Menace II Society doesn’t receive the level of recognition that a movie like Boyz n the Hood is privy to. This film tells the story of a South L.A. teen and his friends, as they navigate their violent and drug-heavy surroundings. Although the movie, which is helmed by the Hughes Brothers, includes a considerable amount of violence, it doesn’t feel like it’s injected into the narrative without purpose. Honestly, it’s not pleasant viewing, but it’s a film that does indeed need to be seen. Stream Menace II Society on Tubi. Crooklyn (1994) Spike Lee’s talent shines through in more than a few of his movies, but that’s especially true with a production like Crooklyn . One of the best Black Family movies available to watch, it focuses on a 9-year-old girl as she faces life’s ups and downs alongside her family in 1970s Brooklyn. It’s a flick that can generate some solid laughs, but there’s also a level of thoughtfulness, as it chronicles the world through the eyes of a precocious child. The solid script and keen direction help make this one of Lee’s most socially relevant films . Rent/Buy Crooklyn on Amazon Prime Video. Eve’s Bayou (1997) Eve’s Bayou is another film that deserves a bit more recognition. If you haven’t seen this Southern delight, know that it’s about a well-off Black family living in 1960s Louisiana, with the titular 10-year-old Eve Batiste serving as our eyes and ears. What writer/director Kasi Lemmons presents is a sweet and affecting story about youth and loss of innocence, and the fact that it centers around a Black family with money was something of a novelty years ago. And, of course, it’s all anchored by Jurnee Smollett’s winning performance as the endearing Eve. Stream Eve’s Bayou on Peacock. Stream Eve’s Bayou on Pluto TV. The Wood (1999) It’s very hard not to chuckle or smile when you’re taking in a movie like The Wood . Director and co-writer Rick Famuyiwa has produced some excellent films, but this is a movie I could watch over and over . The 1999 dramedy chronicles the bonds between three best friends, as the film flips from the present (in which one pal is about to get married) and the past (which involves the trio’s teen years in Inglewood). Famuyiwa’s steady direction helps generate humor and heart as do the performances of the top-notch cast of actors. Stream The Wood on Tubi. Stream The Wood on Amazon Prime Video. ATL (2006) An entertaining gem of the early 2000s, ATL is yet another film that presents a coming-of-age story from a specific lens. This is a fantastic film starring a rapper , as it sees T.I. playing a high school senior pondering his future while hanging out with his friends and watching over his younger brother. Director Chris Robinson effectively balances humor with the more dramatic elements within the narrative. The story may not break the mold, but the A+ cast adds a great deal to a movie that’s about love, loyalty and skating. Stream ATL with Starz. Rent/Buy ATL on Amazon Prime Video. Girlhood (2014) Céline Sciamma’s Girlhood feels fresh, in part because it’s set to the backdrop of Paris and is firmly (and lovingly) wrapped up in French culture. Yet the film, which is about a poor teen girl who befriends a clique of young ladies, feels very universal. This critically acclaimed piece of work not only taps into the experiences of teen girls but also has a bit of social commentary to convey as well. It’s a well-done film, and what’s really appreciated is that Sciamma chose to tell the story with Black leads when she could’ve chosen not to. Buy/Rent on Amazon Prime Video. Dope (2015) Years after directing The Wood , Rick Famuyiwa returned to the coming-of-age sphere with the eclectic comedy, Dope . What we have here is a funny and somewhat earnest tale about a high school senior and his two friends dodging thugs following a chance encounter with a drug dealer. The film truly fires on all cylinders, especially when it comes to the humor. What truly makes this film a novelty, though, is that it’s one of the best films to chronicle the experience of being a Black nerd (which is something I know a lot about). Stream Dope on Tubi. Moonlight (2016) If we’re to be honest, there are definitely people who remember Best Picture winner Moonlight for the on-air Oscars debacle. That should in no way overshadow the sheer magnitude of Barry Jenkins’ film, though. Viewers follow Chiron, a poor Black child from Liberty City throughout three stages of his life. The ultimate result is a firmly directed, beautifully shot and powerfully acted film about masculinity, sexuality and self-acceptance. You’ll want to have your tissues ready for this one, too, as the ending sneaks up on you. Rent/Buy Moonlight on Amazon Prime Video. The Water Man (2020) Chances are you probably haven’t seen or even heard of The Water Man , given it flew under the radar during the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Should that be the case, then you may want to rectify that, as actor David Oyelowo ’s directorial debut is very sweet. At the center of the story is an 11-year-old boy who seeks to cure his mother’s cancer by finding a magical being. There’s plenty of wonder and warmth to be found in this movie, and Oyelowo deserves a lot of credit for making such a good movie on his first attempt as a director. Rent/Buy The Water Man on Amazon Prime Video. We Grown Now (2023) A film that’ll truly warm your heart is We Grown Now , which comes from writer/director Minhal Baig. Set in the ‘90s, the film focuses on two, grade-school-aged best friends named Malik and Eric. Audiences are offered a peek into the boys ’ time growing up in the Cabrini-Green housing complex, where life proves to be difficult and unpredictable. While there are sad moments within the film, it’s ultimately a story about optimism and resilience. There are moments when the two characters yell, “We exist,” and I’m glad this film does, too. Stream We Grown Now on Netflix. So, as you can see, there are some excellent coming-of-age films headed by stellar Black talent, and there are even more out there. I can’t recommend the films that have been discussed enough. So, do yourself a favor and check out this collection of fine films, and others.Yankees slugger Aaron Judge wins his second AL MVP award after leading MLB with 58 home runs
Believe it or not, Cowboys might have hope yet after chaotic win at WashingtonNew Jersey Real Estate Attorney Christine Matus Releases Comprehensive Article on Real Estate Law in New Jersey 11-26-2024 11:22 PM CET | Politics, Law & Society Press release from: ABNewswire New Jersey real estate attorney [ https://matuslaw.com/real-estate-attorney/ ] Christine Matus of The Matus Law Group has released an insightful article on real estate law in New Jersey, shedding light on the intricacies of real estate transactions and the legal considerations that buyers, sellers, and business owners should be aware of. The article provides a comprehensive overview of the laws governing real estate in the state and emphasizes the importance of legal guidance in handling these transactions. In the article, New Jersey real estate attorney Christine Matus emphasizes the significance of understanding real estate law for anyone involved in buying, selling, or leasing property. "A property transaction is more than a financial decision-it's also a legal one," Matus explains. "Without the proper knowledge or guidance, individuals risk making costly mistakes that could affect their investment, their family's future, or their business operations." The New Jersey real estate attorney further notes that the state's real estate laws are nuanced, covering everything from property rights and contracts to zoning, environmental regulations, and property taxes. "Each transaction is unique," she says, "and the legal aspects can vary widely. Having clarity about the law helps protect interests and ensures the transaction proceeds smoothly." Matus's article explores several key areas of New Jersey real estate law, including residential real estate transactions, commercial property regulations, and the intricacies of property tax appeals. Each of these areas requires careful attention to detail and a thorough understanding of the legal framework. Residential real estate transactions in New Jersey involve multiple steps, starting with an offer and culminating in the closing. The process includes contract negotiations, inspections, appraisals, title searches, and mortgage approvals, all of which carry legal implications. "A residential real estate purchase agreement is a legally binding document that outlines the terms of the sale," Matus explains. "It's essential for both buyers and sellers to fully understand this agreement before signing. Having an attorney review the contract during New Jersey's three-day attorney review period can make a significant difference in protecting one's interests." The article delves into the complexities of commercial real estate law, which encompasses zoning regulations, lease agreements, and land use approvals. These aspects are crucial for business owners and developers looking to acquire or modify commercial properties. "Zoning and land use regulations can significantly impact the value and usability of a property," Matus explains. "Whether one is seeking a zoning variance or managing redevelopment projects, understanding the legal requirements is essential for success." Additionally, commercial lease agreements require careful negotiation to protect the rights of both landlords and tenants. The article outlines key considerations, such as lease terms, rent escalation clauses, and dispute resolution mechanisms. Property taxes are another important area of focus in the article. Matus explains that property taxes in New Jersey are based on assessed property values, which can sometimes be higher than the property's actual market worth. "If someone believes their property has been overvalued, they have the right to file a property tax appeal," Matus notes. "This process requires gathering evidence, such as comparable property sales or independent appraisals, and presenting the case to the appropriate tax authority." She adds that strict deadlines and procedural requirements make it vital to have legal representation during the appeals process. "A successful property tax appeal can result in significant savings, but it requires careful preparation and adherence to the law," she says. Throughout the article, Matus stresses the importance of working with a knowledgeable real estate attorney to handle the details of property transactions. From contract preparation to dispute resolution, an attorney's responsibility is to protect clients' interests and ensure all legal requirements are met. For individuals and business owners in New Jersey, real estate transactions are significant financial and legal undertakings. Whether buying a first home, leasing commercial space, or appealing property taxes, having a knowledgeable attorney on one's side can make all the difference. About The Matus Law Group: The Matus Law Group is a trusted New Jersey law firm with a strong focus on real estate law, estate planning, and special needs planning. Led by Christine Matus, the firm has decades of experience assisting clients with residential and commercial property transactions, contract negotiations, zoning issues, and property tax appeals.

Southwest states certify election results after the process led to controversy in previous yearsNo. 24 Arizona is coming off consecutive defeats for the first time in the Tommy Lloyd era when it faces undefeated Davidson on Wednesday to begin the Battle 4 Atlantis in Paradise Island, Bahamas. Arizona (2-2) lost at Wisconsin 103-88 on Nov. 15 and followed that with a home loss against Duke 69-55 on Friday. The Wildcats have dropped 15 spots in the Associated Press Top 25 poll in two weeks. Arizona's record is .500 this early in a season for the first time since it was 3-3 to start the 2017-18 schedule. "I've got work to do, so let's get to work," said Lloyd, in his fourth year as Arizona's head coach. "Let's see where we're at in a month, and if we're still struggling, you know what I'll do? I still got work to do, but I'm gonna get to it." Arizona shot 39.6 percent from the field against Duke, and just 26.1 percent (6 of 23) from 3-point range. The Wildcats were outrebounded by 43-30 and their 15 turnovers led to 19 points. Jaden Bradley led Arizona with 18 points and KJ Lewis added 12. Preseason All-American Caleb Love had eight points on 3-of-13 shooting from the field, including 1-of-9 from 3-point range. Arizona made only one field goal in the last 5:39 as Duke pulled away after its lead was trimmed to six points. "We didn't play great," Lloyd said. "Now we need to take a step back and figure out why. Are there some schematic problems? Are there some problems with how our personnel is kind of put together? "We got to figure out what our certainties are, and the things we have to have, and then over the course of the next couple of days, if there's adjustments we need to make, we need to figure out what those are." Davidson is 4-0 after a 15-17 record last season, in which it lost its last six games to put an end to postseason hopes. A 93-66 win over visiting VMI on Friday followed a 91-85 win at Bowling Green and 76-70 victory over visiting East Tennessee State. The two wins by 10 points or fewer are important because Davidson was 6-12 in such games last season. It was 4-11 in games decided by five points or fewer. "The goal (is) to get better," Davidson head coach Matt McKillop said after the season opener. "We talk about fighting to win every possession. I think we had to figure out what that really felt like with the lights on." Davidson made 13 shots from 3-point range in the win over VMI. Reed Bailey had 23 points, eight rebounds and six assists. Bobby Durkin added 19 points, including 17 of them and a career-best five 3-pointers in the first half. Bailey leads Davidson in scoring (19 points per game) and rebounding (7.8). Durkin is shooting 57.9 percent (22 of 38) from the field and 54.2 percent (13 of 24) from 3-point range. By contrast, Arizona's Love is shooting 32 percent (16 of 50) from the field and 21.4 percent (6 of 28) from beyond the arc. Bradley leads Arizona with 15.5 points per game. He is shooting 50 percent (24 of 48) from the field and is 35.7 percent (5 of 14) from 3-point range. --Field Level Media
