Warriors notebook: Jonathan Kuminga feels empowered by vets’ support

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:58:10 GMT

HOUSTON — Jonathan Kuminga doesn’t need any help in the confidence department, but the 20-year-old still finds comfort in knowing that he has his teammates in his corner. Whether it be Andre Iguodala pulling him aside during timeouts to point out something he saw that Kuminga didn’t or Draymond Green patting Kuminga on the back when he makes a mistake, the 20-year-old feels empowered by the veterans on his team to play freely and aggressively.“Just knowing that not just the coaches but your teammates got your back, I think that’s super important,” Kuminga said Monday after shootaround. The veterans “hype you up if you do something wrong and keep telling you, ‘Don’t worry about it, just next play.’ And that’s super important to have around.”Their support has helped Kuminga become a bright spot in what has otherwise been an underwhelming season for Golden State. Kuminga has established his spot in the WarriorsR...

'Perfect storm' led to bizarre Baby Brandon kidnapping in San Jose, defense says

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:58:10 GMT

SAN JOSE, Calif. (KRON) -- Jose Portillo fell in love and began dating his first girlfriend when she asked him to commit an unthinkable crime: kidnap a stranger's 3-month-old baby, his defense attorney said Monday. Portillo, 28, met and fell in love with a manipulative older woman, Yesenia Ramirez, not long after he moved to San Jose. Ramirez, 43, already had an estranged husband and a boyfriend, but she convinced Portillo that she loved him too, and he should help her kidnap Baby Brandon from his grandmother's home. On Monday, a Santa Clara County judge sentenced Portillo to serve five years in prison for snatching the baby on April 25, 2022, and Ramirez to serve more than 13 years for masterminding the bizarre plot. Baby Brandon showed up for his kidnappers' preliminary hearing on Aug. 2, 2022. (KRON4 image) A love triangle between Portillo, Ramirez, and Ramirez's boyfriend was detailed as the motives behind a crime that shocked their community and set off a frantic search for the...

Braves make apparent SS decision; Díaz focusing on Reds role

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:58:10 GMT

The Atlanta Braves have apparently decided who will replace the departed Dansby Swanson as their starting shortstop. It’s not who most people expected it to be. Vaughn Grissom and Braden Shewmake were optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday. That leaves utility infielder Orlando Arcia as the likely replacement for Swanson, who left the Braves in free agency during the offseason for a $177 million, seven-year deal with the Chicago Cubs. Atlanta announced the moves involving Grissom and Shewmake after a 6-5 exhibition win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Grissom, who had been widely anticipated to be Swanson’s successor, went 3 for 4 in the game with an RBI and run scored, raising his batting average to .371 in 12 games this spring. Arcia appeared in only one game at shortstop for the Braves last season, when he made 43 starts at second base and hit .244 in 67 games overall. He hasn’t been a primary shortstop since starting 59 games in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season for ...

By: Robbie MacKay, Queen’s University, Ontario and Lisa Macklem, Western UniversityPaul Langlois, a guitarist for Canada’s The Tragically Hip, was more than unhappy when recently alerted via Twitter that his band’s music was heard at a Conservative campaign event with Pierre Poilievre, and in a series of tweets he resolved to stop it.However, shortly after Langlois’s tweet, the band issued a statement clarifying that the venue in question was licensed by the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN), a Canadian performance rights organization.The statement noted it meant “the venue pays a fee to ensure artists and musicians are compensated appropriately when music is played on site. As such, specific permissions were not required in this case.”The statement also said:“It is (and has always been) our expectation that brands, political parties or public figures wishing to use our music for a campaign first seek our approval.”There is a distinction betw...
