Mike Krzyzewski, Bobby Knight friendship ended after 2015 incident

Mike Krzyzewski played point guard for legendary coach Bobby Knight at Army, before serving as his assistant at Indiana. Coach K would eventually take over at his alma mater, before turning Duke into a college hoops power rivaling—and eventually surpassing—Knight’s at Indiana.Throughout his career, Krzyzewski has given a fair share of credit to Knight for helping launch his career, while also distancing himself stylistically from his former mentor. A new book on Coach K by New York Post columnist Ian O’Connor that will be released later this month details how the relationship between the two college basketball legends deteriorated over the last few decades, coming to a head at a 2015 event thrown to honor the 50th anniversary of Knight’s first team at Army.An excerpt pu...

Penguins star Crosby, 34, nets 500th career goal

PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby scored his 500th career goal Tuesday night, the second player in franchise history to do so.Crosby broke a 1-1 tie with the Philadelphia Flyers 16:34 into the first period, scoring on the power play with an assist from Evgeni Malkin. The Penguins won in overtime, 5-4.Perhaps it was fitting that Malkin was represented in Crosby's goal, as the two superstars have been at the forefront of a franchise resurgence, leading the Penguins to three Stanley Cup titles since the two entered the league."You look back at different things over the last 17 years, and that's a memory I'll always hold close," Crosby said. "With Geno assisting, with it being at home against Philadelphia, knowing the history of those two teams -- and getting the win a...

BREVARD, Fla. — A marvel of modern science, David Bennett continues to defy odds, surviving more than a month after his pig heart transplant.On Sunday, Bennett sat up in bed and meekly sang “America the Beautiful” as Jhené Aiko belted out her rendition prior to Super Bowl LVI. Bennett, who received a genetically modified pig heart during a transplant on Jan. 7, is recovering at the University of Maryland Medical Center.“The heart is doing great. We have several cardiologists trying to find any fault in it but they have not been able to do it,” said lead surgeon Dr. Muhammad M. Mohiuddin, Professor of Surgery and Director of the Cardiac Xenotransplantation Program at the University of Maryland School of Medicine . “The heart is contracting vigorously as it should. It has shown no sig...

Patrik Nemeth replaced in Rangers’ lineup with rookie Zac Jones

Defenseman Patrik Nemeth, who missed the final four games before the All-Star break because of a personal matter, was put back on the Rangers roster but did not dress for Tuesday's game against the Boston Bruins at Madison Square Garden. Zac Jones took his spot in the lineup, playing on an all-rookie third defense pair with Braden Schneider Nemeth, a 6-4, 230-pound veteran, practiced all four days after the Rangers returned from the break on Friday, and partnered with Schneider each of the last three. But the Rangers recalled Jones from AHL Hartford on Saturday, and at that point coach Gerard Gallant said he wasn't certain whether the team would have Nemeth ...

Arkansas Senate rejects push for Texas-styled abortion ban

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas' majority-Republican Senate rejected a push Tuesday for an abortion ban modeled after Texas' restrictive law, with abortion opponents divided about emulating their neighbor's approach as they await a key ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court.The Senate rejected resolutions that would have allowed lawmakers to take up legislation banning abortion except to save the life of a mother in a medical emergency. Like Texas' ban, the measure would be enforced by private citizens filing lawsuits.Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who has signed several major abortion restrictions since taking office in 2015, has said lawmakers should wait and see how the Supreme Court rules on a 15-week ban in Mississippi. Justices have signaled that ruling, expected l...

Daniel Theis happy to be back in the middle of Celtics’ plans – The Boston Globe

“I’m happy and grateful to be back,” the 29-year-old Theis said Tuesday morning. “I wouldn’t say shocked, I was kind of relieved, happy. Houston just didn’t work out for me like I planned it.“For me, in my mind, if I get traded, I want to come back here. I’m just happy to be back here. Looking forward for the rest of the season.”Former president of basketball operations Danny Ainge traded Theis to the Bulls along with Javonte Green on March 25 for the express purpose of getting under the luxury tax. The Celtics’ defense suffered and it was an unpopular deal among his teammates.Theis then signed a four-year, $36 million deal with the Rockets this past summer. The club tried to pair Theis with center Christian Wood, but started the season 1-16. Theis played sparingly over the next six wee...

Centro de Desarrollo de la Mujer Dominicana: Educación pre-escolar gratuita y de buena calidad

 El Centro de Desarrollo de la Mujer Dominicana (DWDC, por las iniciales de Dominican Women’s Development Center) es una organización comunitaria del Alto Manhattan que ya tenía dos años de existencia cuando se estableció nuestra Hispanic Federation, en 1990. Su misión original consistía en contribuir al empoderamiento de la mujer dominicana en nuestra ciudad, y promover la igualdad de género y la justicia social. Aunque hoy en día el Centro presta una gama más amplia de servicios, y a que hace tiempo que no se limita a la comunidad dominicana, sus objetivos fundamentales no han variado.  “Todavía existe mucha desigualdad en la sociedad y muchas injusticias contra nosotras las mujeres, especialmente las que somos inmigrantes, de color, y de bajos ingresos”, explica Rosita R...

“El estafador de Tinder”: 5 trampas que usan los embaucadores románticos (y cómo evitar caer en ellas)

En el exitoso documental de Netflix “El estafador de Tinder” (The Tinder Swindler), 3 mujeres describen cómo fueron engañadas por el estafador convicto Simon Leviev (quien nació como Shimon Hayut) después de conocerlo en la aplicación de citas. La película ofrece un relato detallado y profundamente personal de cómo Leviev usó Tinder para conectarse con sus víctimas y, en última instancia, estafarlas por cientos de miles de dólares. He estado investigando el fraude romántico durante más de una década. He escuchado las historias dolorosas y traumáticas de cientos de víctimas. Si bien cada historia es única, existen factores comunes y algunas lecciones generales que podemos aprender. El documental es un poderoso ejemplo de lo que puede salir mal, pero ¿qué nos enseña ...
