Franklin VNA & Hospice to hold free advanced care planning walk-in session

NEW YORK — Henry Lutovsky emerged from the visitors’ clubhouse wearing an unbuttoned Yankees jersey with his No. 59 on the back. A gift from the Pinstripe Bowl. The Nebraska offensive lineman considers whether Saturday has made him a Yankees fan. Then he nods. “I don’t even watch baseball,” the blocker from eastern Iowa said. “But I am now.” From the venue of one of Major League Baseball’s most iconic teams, Lutovsky had curses on his mind. Not the one with the Bambino or the Billy Goat, but the one he’d heard about Nebraska football for four seasons. The bowl drought. The run of consecutive losing seasons. All of it seemed especially made-up as the Huskers celebrated a 20-15 win over Boston College on a soaked field. “This group didn’t believe in that curse,” Lutovsky said. “We showed it — we made it to a bowl and we won it. I think this is great momentum to carry into the offseason. This is something we can work to achieve again and do better than again next year.” People are also reading...

And the coming offseason of work can finally be about building on something instead of starting something different. Luke Lindenmeyer shrugged. If anything, an afternoon at the Pinstripe Bowl made him less sure about what Nebraska tight ends could do next season. “I have no idea,” the third-year player from La Vista said Saturday from the bowels of Yankee Stadium. “That’s the best part.” The 6-foot-3, 250-pounder finished with the best production of his college career — two catches for 22 yards — while blocking and lining up all over the soggy field. Of his five career catches, four have come in the four games since offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen took over in early November. Lindenmeyer suddenly moves toward the front of a position group stuffed with intrigue. Thomas Fidone still has one more year of eligibility after two straight seasons as a regular starter. Meanwhile, Heinrich Haarberg is continuing his transition from quarterback to tight end while former four-star prospect Mac Markway — who abruptly left LSU for NU early in fall camp — may also be a factor in his return from a torn ACL. Former No. 2 tight end Nate Boerkircher this month transferred to Texas A&M while reserve AJ Rollins also left the team. Nebraska has not put an emphasis on targeting tight ends in the portal. The emergence of Lindenmeyer — as displayed Saturday — is one reason why. “Ever since I came here I’ve been working,” Lindenmeyer said. “I came in as a walk-on and it still kind of feels like I’m a walk-on — I still have more to prove. When (Holgorsen) came in he saw how hard I work and how I can fit in his offense. He just put me in places where I can fly.” Get local news delivered to your inbox!'Flawed and broken' system: Are for-profit insurers why Americans lack health care?

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Isaiah Johnson scored 21 points as Portland State beat Wofford 79-74 at the Cream City Challenge in Milwaukee on Sunday. Johnson had nine rebounds for the Vikings (3-3). Jaylin Henderson scored 18 points, shooting 6 for 12, including 4 for 10 from beyond the arc. Qiant Myers finished 5 of 8 from the field to finish with 10 points, while adding six rebounds and six assists. The Terriers (2-5) were led by Dillon Bailey, who posted 20 points. Corey Tripp added 17 points, five assists and two steals for Wofford. Kyler Filewich also had 10 points and six rebounds. NEXT UP Portland State plays Saturday against Utah Tech at home, and Wofford hosts North Alabama on Sunday. ___ The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by and data from . The Associated PressDespite a roster overhaul and a general lack of Division I experience among the squad, the Colorado men’s basketball team has shown significant signs of progress since tipping off the season seven weeks ago. It’s been a home-heavy slate so far, too. Yet few people have witnessed the Buffaloes’ early growth in person. After the Buffs capped nonconference play with a win against Bellarmine on Saturday, head coach Tad Boyle pivoted from a question about a boisterous crowd spurred by an Alamo Bowl sendoff for CU football and an appearance by Travis Hunter’s Heisman Trophy to comment on the state of the program’s attendance through nonconference play. Simply put, there have been plenty of available seats at the CU Events Center. And at the dawn of the NIL era in college basketball, it’s a concern on the forefront of Boyle’s mind. “Quite frankly, I think the core of our fan base for the basketball program has been very loyal and good. But if people think that the nonconference attendance is going to allow us to be successful in the Big 12 as we move forward, unless it changes, they’re sorely mistaken. We’ve got to fill this thing up. Starting December 30th,” Boyle said after the Bellarmine win. “(Bellarmine) was a step in the right direction. (Saturday) was a great day to honor the football team and Travis and Shedeur. Had no problem with that at all.” Boosted by the festivities surrounding the football team, the attendance of 7,684 against Bellarmine was the second-highest of the season at the Events Center. Through eight home games, the Buffs are averaging just 6,435 fans. That’s currently on pace to mark the lowest average attendance of the 15-season Boyle era, although attendance figures are certain to climb with the marquee matchups on the way in Big 12 play, beginning with CU’s league opener against No. 3 Iowa State on Monday (7 p.m., CBS Sports Network). The Buffs host four other teams ranked in this week’s AP Top 25 in No. 7 Kansas (Feb. 24), No. 15 Houston (Feb. 8), No. 17 Cincinnati (Jan. 15) and No. 25 Baylor (Feb. 22). In the five top 25 games played at the Events Center since the mostly fan-less COVID season of 2020-21, attendance has averaged 9,554. The Buffs host two other teams currently receiving top 25 votes in West Virginia (Jan. 12) and Arizona State (Jan. 28), and CU hosts another big-draw matchup with BYU on Jan. 21. The attendance of 8,913 for BYU’s previous visit on Dec. 12, 2015, hasn’t been topped in a non-Colorado State nonconference home game since. Yet while attendance certainly will rise in January and February, the early returns have continued a recent box office trend for the Buffs. Following the COVID season, the Buffs averaged 7,141 fans in the 2021-22 regular season, at the time the lowest since an average of 6,900 in Boyle’s first season of 2010-11. CU then averaged a Boyle-era low 6,752 in 2022-23. Last year’s NCAA Tournament team pushed that average attendance figure back up to 7,531, but even the home win against CSU three weeks ago drew only 9,143 fans. That’s over 1,900 under capacity at the Events Center and nearly 900 fewer than the attendance for CSU’s previous visit two years ago. “I would like to see this place sold out every night,” Boyle said. “Like it is in Ames, Iowa. Like it is in Lawrence, Kansas. Like it is in Waco, Texas, and all the places that we’re going to play. If it is, it is. If it isn’t, it isn’t. There’s nothing I can do about it. My job is to get our team better.”Daughter fatally shot in Mahomet tweeted about alleged killer being outside house (copy)

Sudan's war is 'deepening and widening' a famine crisis, hunger monitoring report saysATLANTA (AP) — Jalen Johnson scored 28 points and the Atlanta Hawks closed out a four-game homestand, winning a third straight contest, 120-110 over the Miami Heat on Saturday. Trae Young added his 22nd double-double of the season, with 11 point and 15 assist, and De'Andre Hunter scored 26 points in his 14th consecutive game with at least 15 points coming off the bench. Tyler Herro scored 28 points and dished out 10 assists and Bam Adebayo added 17 points and 10 rebounds. It was the Heat's fourth game in a row without star Jimmy Butler , who sat out for what the team called “return to competition reconditioning.” Takeaways Heat: Miami lost despite five players finishing with double-digit point totals. The Heat shot 44.4% from the field, but it wasn't enough to overcome a Hawks team that hit over half of its shots, 51.2% from the field. Hawks: Johnson has been on an offensive tear in his last two games. He finished two points shy of his single-game career high of 30 points, set in his last game, on Thursday against the Chicago Bulls. Hunter also finished just one point shy of his single-game career high of 27 points. Key moment After a close first half that featured nine lead changes, Atlanta seized control early in the second half. With five minutes to go in the third quarter, Atlanta’s Garrison Mathews and Hunter hit back-to-back 3s to give Atlanta an 81-72 lead, their biggest of the night, and forcing a Miami timeout. Key stat Young finished one assist shy of a franchise single-game record for assists against the Miami Heat, set by Mookie Blaylock in 1993.

In response to statements on recent verdicts by military courts, the Foreign Office (FO) on Tuesday said that the judgments were made under a law enacted by the parliament and in line with the ruling of the Supreme Court of Pakistan. In a statement, FO spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said: “Pakistan is fully committed to fulfilling all its international human rights obligations.” She said that Pakistan’s legal system is consistent with international human rights law, including provisions of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). “It has remedies of judicial review by the superior courts and guarantees promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms.” The spokesperson added that Islamabad believes in constructive and productive dialogue to promote principles of democracy, human rights and the rule of law. “We remain fully committed to implementing our commitments under the GSP Plus Scheme and core international human rights conventions.” The FO spokesperson said that they would continue to engage with their international partners including the European Union to uphold the international human rights law, without any discrimination and double standards. The military court last week sentenced 25 individuals involved in the attacks on state installations during the violent protests of May 9, 2023. The violent protests broke out after Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan was taken into custody in a graft case. In turn, scores of party workers were arrested and more than 100 civilians are facing military trials. However, the Khan-founded party maintained that it had no role in the incidents involving military installations, including the attack on the General Headquarters (GHQ), and has called for a judicial probe into last year's events. Following the verdict, the European Union, United Kingdom and the United States expressed concerns over the recent sentencing of civilians by the military courts. Earlier today, the US expressed "deep concern" over the conviction of 25 civilians in a military tribunal in Pakistan, claiming the military courts lacked judicial independence, transparency, and due process guarantees. In a brief statement issued today, US Department of State Spokesperson Matthew Miller said that the Washington continued to call on Pakistani authorities to "respect" the right to a fair trial and due process, as enshrined in the country's constitution. The UK also urged the federal government to uphold its obligations under the ICCPR. "Military courts lack transparency, independent scrutiny and undermine the right to a fair trial," a Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office spokesperson said in a statement issued on Monday. However, the spokesperson said, the UK respects Pakistan’s sovereignty over its own legal proceedings. The EU was the first to react on the matter, expressing concern over the sentencing of 25 accused by a military court, saying that the verdicts were seen as inconsistent with the obligations that Pakistan has undertaken under the ICCPR. "In line with article 14 of ICCPR, every person is entitled to a fair and public trial in a court that is independent, impartial and competent, and has the right to adequate and effective legal representation," said a statement issued by the EU's European External Action Service. Furthermore, it said, article 14 also stipulates that any "judgement rendered in a criminal case shall be made public". Under the EU's Generalised Scheme of Preferences Plus (GSP+), beneficiary countries, including Pakistan, have voluntarily agreed to implement effectively 27 international core conventions — including the ICCPR — in order to continue benefitting from GSP+ status, the statement added.
