BOSTON — A’s starting pitcher JP Sears took a no-hitter into the fifth inning on Sunday. However, Oakland, as the case has often been this season, still took home the loss.Sears had allowed just an unearned run thanks to one of three A’s errors, but the Red Sox rallied against Oakland relievers, scoring the eventual game-winner in the eighth inning when Masataka Yoshida homered off reliever Ken Waldichuk (2-6) for a 4-3 win.The loss was the A’s fourth straight as they were swept by the Red Sox, who have won eight of their last nine games.

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 04:03:46 GMT

A third year student at Kingston’s Royal Military College (RMC) is planning to bike the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route in an effort to raise money for the Canadian Armed Forces’ (CAF) program Soldier On.Brooke Baker will be taking on the 4200 kilometre trail that spans from Canada all the way into Mexico, with 200,000 total feet of vertical climbing along the route. She aims to make the trip in 3 weeks, which will mean riding about 200 kilometres per day to meet that goal. The journey is a goal that Baker says she’s had for some time and had sort of been looking for the inspiration to kick start it.She said that hearing about the work of Soldier On and partnering with them seemed like a good reason to go.“I thought it would just be the perfect combination to raise money for a good cause,” Baker said.Soldier On is a CAF program that focuses on aiding the recovery of ill and injured veterans and CAF members through sport, recreational, and creative acti...

Taylor Swift proves Song of the Summer doesn’t have to be new

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 04:03:46 GMT

Is Taylor Swift cheating in the Song of the Summer race? Probably. Is that OK? Probably. Does her hacking of the Song of the Summer “rules” open the field to a flood of awesome potential contenders? Absolutely.Some background: Morgan Wallen’s thoroughly mediocre “Last Night” looks like a lock for the title (three months at No. 1). But Swift is mounting a furious, late-entry challenge with “Cruel Summer.” The twist is “Cruel Summer” originally came out on Swift’s 2019 LP “Lover” and was only released as a single last month.Of course, last summer Kate Bush nearly took the title with a four-decades old song (see the resistance of “Running Up That Hill”). So this summer, let’s let Swift and her four-year-old song give “Last Night” some much needed competition. But if “Cruel Summer” gets a shot at the title, so do a whole bunch of other underappreciated jams and lost gems from years past. Which ones? Glad you asked.“Emotion,” Carly Rae Jepsen, 2015 – Jepsen is the most under-appreciated ...

Vocational training offers many benefits for students

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 04:03:46 GMT

Earning a four-year degree is one path toward a rewarding career. However, that path is not the only one available. Enrolling in a vocational program can provide students with the skills necessary to engage in high-demand and well-paying jobs.Vocational school, often referred to as “trade school,” can be an advantageous route for many people who are looking for an alternative to college. In 2020, the National Center for Education Statistics said a four-year private college cost around $50,300 for a student living on campus, while a four-year public college was roughly $24,300 annually. A 2018 poll from The Learning House, a skills training and coursework company, found 35% of students said tuition and other fees were their primary concerns when choosing college programs.Trade schools can cost three times less than other schooling, making them more palatable to young people concerned about the high costs of college. Career and Technical Education programs number around 1,...
