Final Four: At Florida Atlantic, it’s not ‘F-A-Who?’ anymore

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 08:03:44 GMT

HOUSTON (AP) — Nobody will ever mistake Tobacco Road for 777 Glades Road, which is the address of one of history’s most unexpected Final Four party crashers.But there, across the street from a strip mall anchored by a Whole Foods in the upscale retirement town of Boca Raton, Florida, sits one of the fastest-growing, most-diverse college campuses that very few basketball fans had heard of until this month. Florida Atlantic University has barreled its way onto the sport’s biggest stage, adding “Final Four” to a hoops resume that, until now, could have been scribbled down on the back of a cocktail napkin.It’s one of those unique situations where the little guys — in this case, the ninth-seeded Owls, anchored by 7-foot-1 center Vladislav Golden out of Russia – aren’t so little. But even with the 21,000 or so students on its main campus, the school president – at least for now — doesn’t want anyone mistaking FAU for anything other than an underdog.“Our basketball program is sort of...

Greece’s prime minister makes border wall an election pledge

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 08:03:44 GMT

THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) — Greece’s prime minister promised Friday to extend a wall across all of the country’s land border with Turkey as he campaigned for the country’s general election. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who called the May 21 election earlier this week, is expected later in the day to sign his center-right government’s decision to nearly double the length of the existing steel border wall over the next year. The wall currently spans 37.5 kilometers (25 miles), and the government plans to extend it by 35 kilometers over the next 12 months. More than 100 kilometers of wall will be added to that by 2026, government officials said. Border security remains a high-profile issue in Greece due to long-standing disputes with Turkey and a mass migration of refugees and migrants into the European Union during 2015-16 that largely was triggered by war in Syria and Iraq.Mitsotakis and other officials accused their political opponents from the left-wing Syriza pa...

Bulgaria heads to 5th election in 2 years, but 6th may loom

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 08:03:44 GMT

SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — Bulgarians are heading to the polls on Sunday for the country’s fifth general election in two years, amid concern over the war in nearby Ukraine, political instability, and economic woes in the European Union’s poorest member.Pollsters expect that voter fatigue and distrust in the will of politicians to fight corruption will result in a low turnout and a fragmented parliament, which will once again face an uphill battle to form a stable government.Any hesitation to go to the polls could be additionally fueled by a series of recent bomb threats that led to the closure of hundreds of schools set to host polling stations for Sunday’s vote.Cyber security experts attributed the threats to hacker groups engaged in hybrid attacks most likely linked to Russia, and said they were aimed at plunging Bulgaria into a state of fear and reducing voter turnout.Despite the basic consensus that Bulgaria should continue to be part of the European Union and NATO, there is d...

The goal of the two-day event is to try to find homes for 47 goats, which is well more than are usually housed on the property. “In the winter of 2022, we seized close to 100 goats from a single property in Dighton—and some were pregnant,” said Mike Keiley, MSPCA-Angell director of adoption centers and programs. “So, we ended up with more than 100 goats, many of which still need homes.”“Prior to that, we generally never had more than a couple with us, and they were always adopted quickly,” he added. “We’ve never had a fee-waived adoptathon for goats, but they’ve been successful finding homes for small animals in the past, so we’re employing the same method here in order t...
