Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:29:29 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Deandre Morrison was affectionately nicknamed "Nose” by loved ones. When saying goodbye to friends and family he'd tell them, "everything need, we got". MORE NEWS from NEWS10What they don't have now is Dandre. At 12:45 AM on June 25th, he was gunned down on the corner of Myrtle Avenue & Phillip Street. Morrison was 28. Albany Police officials say there are no updates on his murder.  This was one of ten homicides that occurred in the city of Albany this year. That number fueled a frustrated pessimism with a loved one of Morrison's who didn't want to be interviewed on camera. She passionately told NEWS10 that the south end has been violent since she was a child and things won't change. Almost all Morrison's loved ones gathered at this memorial said the South End is being neglected by city leaders. Albany police investigating two homicidesOne community activist echoing their sentiments is Pastor Charlie Muller.

That's no pizza: A wall painting found in Pompeii doesn't depict Italy's iconic dish

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:29:29 GMT

MILAN (AP) — A still-life fresco discovered recently in the Pompeii archaeological site looks like a pizza, but it's not, experts at the archaeological site said Tuesday. They noted that key ingredients needed to make Italy's iconic dish—tomatoes and mozzarella—were not available when the fresco was painted some 2,000 years ago. Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Tomatoes were only introduced to Europe from the Americas a few centuries ago, and some histories have it that the discovery of mozzarella led directly to the invention of pizza in nearby Naples in the 1700s. The image is instead believed to be a focaccia covered with fruit, including pomegranate and possibly dates, finished with spices or a type of pesto, experts said.The fresco was found in the atrium of a house in Insula 10 of Regio IX under excavation, to which a bakery was annexed, already partially explored between 1888 and 1891 and whose investigations were res...

Jordan Hicks finds groove as new Cardinals closer

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:29:29 GMT

ST. LOUIS - Winners in six of their last eight, the St. Louis Cardinals are starting to show some signs of life that have largely been missing from the 2023 campaign. A somewhat unexpected source is leading the charge in recent weeks. Flamethrower Jordan Hicks is taking advantage of his new opportunities in a Cardinals closer role. The 26-year-old has earned five saves in his last five games dating back to June 17, a stretch in which he's struck out seven, avoided a free pass and only allowed one run. RELATED - MLB Insider: Cardinals should ‘consider bold action’ before trade deadline When Hicks earned his first save of the 2023 season, it was his first in nearly four calendar years. A feast followed the famine. Hicks earned his first three saves of the season in as many days on the East Coast roadtrip. He now has two saves in back-to-back games, finish off a tough London Series against the rival Cubs and his latest Tuesday against the defending World Series Champion Astros. "Bei...

GKN Aerospace announces framework for closing Hazelwood plant

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:29:29 GMT

HAZELWOOD, Mo. - In February 2022, GKN Aerospace shocked employees and regional leaders by announcing plans to close its Hazelwood plant by the end of 2023.At the time, a company spokesperson said the plant was no longer profitable, and the company would begin a "gradual site wind-down process." GKN was once the third-largest employer in the St. Louis area, supplying plane and aerospace parts for Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and other manufacturers.Last Friday, GKN Aerospace submitted a notice to Missouri's Office of Workforce Development explaining the layoffs would occur in three phases, on Aug. 25, Oct. 6, and Dec. 31. Approximately 715 people will lose their jobs as a result.In June 2022, Representatives Cori Bush (St. Louis) and Emanuel Cleaver (Kansas City) sent a letter to the CEO of GKN Aerospace and the GKN President of Defense seeking a solution that would not involve closing the plant. Those efforts were unsuccessful.

It’s been said that the floodgates have opened on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.Since news broke that they had lost their $20 million podcasting deal with Spotify, Hollywood power players and writers for top U.S. media outlets have spoken up about how “entitled,” “lazy” and “untalented” the renegade royal couple have been — how they are “(expletive) grifters” who hoodwinked the American public into believing that they deserve accolades, millions of dollars and global influence, just because they bolted from life in the British royal family.But if people are turning on the California-based Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the couple are understandably perturbed, according to a new report by Us Weekly.
