Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:11:22 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- After a long, five-year separation, both gargoyles tasked with guarding baggage at Denver International Airport have been reunited.DIA posted about the reunion, which was made possible by the reinstallation of the east side gargoyle.The two statues are part of "Notre Denver," by Terry Allen. They have been part of the airport since it first opened in 1995, but construction in the Great Hall forced one of them into storage. Colorado lawmakers ask TSA for answers on long security wait times The cast bronze gargoyles sit inside suitcases, and DIA said they watch over the baggage claim areas to ensure the safe arrival of baggage. The airport addressed rumors about the gargoyles -- as well as other conspiracies about DIA -- and said the two gargoyles love passengers and, perhaps more importantly, are not evil.

The conference is expected to vote later in the evening to select a new nominee.Republicans are under intensifying pressure to find a new leader as the House remains in a state of paralysis, and the GOP remains unable to govern without a speaker.

Source: Craig Breslow accepts Red Sox offer, will head up baseball ops

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:11:22 GMT

The Red Sox offered “the smartest man in baseball” the top job, and he accepted.A source echoed Alex Speier’s and Michael Silverman’s report in the Boston Globe on Tuesday evening: the club offered Craig Breslow the job as head of baseball operations and he accepted.Breslow had two stints with the Red Sox during his 11-year Major League career. He was instrumental to the 2013 championship, anchoring the bullpen with a career-best 1.18 ERA over 61 regular-season appearances. He made 10 relief appearances during that year’s postseason, including nine scoreless outings (eight consecutively).In his post-playing career, the 43-year-old found a different way to impact a franchise’s pitching; as the Cubs’ assistant general manager and vice president of pitching, he’s transformed their farm system into a well-oiled arms development machine.For the Red Sox, who seek new leadership but want much of their internal structure to stay the same, Bres...

Danvers holds off Gloucester, 1-0, in fierce field hockey battle

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:11:22 GMT

DANVERS – The hard-earned Northeastern Conference title already belonged to the Danvers field hockey team, but a 1-0 win over next-best Gloucester on Tuesday completed some much-desired, unfinished business.Maddie Chase’s goal on a corner with 13:47 to play marked the only offense, putting the Falcons (13-2-2) ahead despite getting their first shot-on-goal of the game about 30 seconds before.It was a pleasant reward for a tenacious defensive effort, which staved off a loaded Fishermen (12-3-2) attack that controlled play for most of the first three quarters. Gloucester didn’t let up, but goalie Megan McGinnity (six saves) and the Danvers defense in front of her were equally resilient.Considering the tie in the first matchup, and that the Fishermen rank higher in the Div. 3 power rankings, it was a meaningful win.“Gloucester is such a huge competitor in the NEC, and it just is always great to have a win against them,” Chase said. “It feels a little different to go undefeated in the N...
