Round Rock bills itself as the Sports Capital of Texas, but the wonderful city near Austin is much more. So is the Round Rock Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Its friendly staff of leaders did a terrific job hosting the 2016 NCTTA Championships in the Lone Star State. And they will once again roll out the red carpet to 250-plus table tennis players, coaches, volunteers & fans at the 2018 games.

The same high level of enthusiasm combines nicely with fantastic hospitality. Читать дальше...

Amazon's comedy-drama "Mozart in the Jungle," set in the New York symphony world, won two Golden Globes, including one for star Gael Garcia Bernal.

If you turned off Friday night's Cavaliers-76ers game, you missed one of the NBA season's most dramatic comebacks and a highlight-reel dunk by LeBron James.

The soon-to-be Duke star has a bushel full already.

RJ Barrett’s trophy case is filling up this spring, but he probably won’t mind one more: Barrett won the 2018 MaxPreps National Player of the Year.

There’s some nice video here as well. Duke fans will enjoy it.

The other day Duke’s recruiting class, pictured here, said they were trying to come up with a cool nickname. It’s old school and all but we like the Fearsome Foursome.

Jeff Green. Wow. Jeff Green.

Here are the player grades for the Cavaliers in their loss to the Sixers.

LeBron James: A

LeBron may have taken the first half off, but he put it into maximum overdrive for the second half, posting a 44-point triple-double and leading the Cavs back from down 30 to have a chance to tie the game at the end. Never take him for granted.

Jeff Green: A

Go ahead and call April 6th the Jeff Green Day. Green easily had his best game as a Cavalier... Читать дальше...

• Attorney General Jeff Sessions ramped up calls to criminally prosecute immigrants who cross illegally into the US.

• Sessions said he was ordering U.S. attorneys offices near the Southwest border to prioritize bringing cases against first-time offenders.

Thousands of Palestinians protested along Gaza’s sealed border with Israel on Friday, engulfing the volatile area in black smoke from burning tires to try to block the view of Israeli snipers.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Steny Hoyer, who has been eyeing the top spot in the House of Representatives for more than a decade, has been traveling through Republican-friendly corners of western Wisconsin this week. One reason he was doing this may be because House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi is not welcome in Trump country. Hoyer, the Maryland centrist and perpetual leader-in-waiting in the House of Representatives, was on a mission to woo blue-collar voters and help his party win back control of the House.

KHUZAA, Gaza Strip — Thousands of Palestinians protested along Gaza’s sealed border with Israel on Friday, engulfing the volatile area in black smoke from burning tires to try to block the view of Israeli snipers and cheering a Hamas strongman who pledged that the border fence will eventually fall.

The Boston Globe

• The Boston Globe newspaper published a mock front page on April 10, 2016, as commentary arguing against then-candidate Donald Trump's presidential campaign.N
• Nearly two years later, that mock front page turned out to be eerily prophetic.
• Some of the fictional headlines on the page that read, "Deportations to begin" and "Markets sink as trade war looms," are eerily similar to what is happening in the present day under the Trump administration.

The Pilatus Bank issue was “a very big problem”, the Malta Financial Services Authority’s new chairman, John Mamo, told a parliamentary committee yesterday. Prof. Mamo admitted he knew little more than any layman on the matter. “I followed the situation developing closely and I agree that it is a very big problem. However, I cannot say if the MFSA acted correctly because I simply do not know,” he said during a hearing of the Public Appointments Committee. A lawyer and entrepreneur, Prof. Mamo, who...

I personally think the time has come where you have to weigh up the positives/negatives of having Finn in the 13. His in game kicking game has been nothing short of rubbish so far this year and his goal kicking just about okay. He's got it upstairs but it is starting to hurt us in attack with how slow he is physically in my opinion. I think it's time we started looking to the future and blooding Hampshire - the boy needs to be getting games and I think he deserves a shot all things considered. Читать дальше...

Reference is made to the article entitled ‘Policy on sick leave “needed”’ (March 31) and the editorial ‘A healthy sick leave policy’ (April 5). It must be pointed out from the onset that there was no change in sick leave policies or in the procedure for claims for sick leave benefits. The only change which has come into effect is that, in order to simplify matters, the blue certificate does not need to be submitted to the Department of Social Security in cases where sick leave is less than three days.
