Janet Szlyk, Lighthouse president and chief executive officer, cited a confluence of factors that led to the program’s end, such as funding constraints, lower participation and staffing challenges that emerged during the pandemic. She said the Lighthouse offers a total of 40 programs, and nothing else was cut.
“Ted Lasso,” which returns for a second season on Apple TV+ next month, finds rich comedic tension in the relationship between a team and the media that covers it. Jason Sudeikis stars as an eternally upbeat American managing an English football (soccer) team — a sport he’s never coached! at any level! — and the show mines all kinds of humor from these press events. James Lance plays reporter Trent Crimm, and if his urbane swoop of hair didn’t immediately peg him at Ted’s kind-sorta nemesis, his introduction does, as he stands up and lists the many reasons Ted is unqualified for the job. “Is there a question in there?” Ted gently asks. Yeah, comes the response: “Is this a (blanking) joke?” In the pub, fans are watching this unfold on TV, and one bloke turns to his friends: “I love journalists.” Back in the press room, it’s pandemonium: “Can you even name any footballers?!” a reporter asks. “Who won the league last year?” says another. Ted’s ears are ringing and finally the team’s owner (played by the great Hannah Waddingham) steps in: “You must forgive my fellow countrymen,” she says. “Somewhere over the last few years we seem to have abandoned all sense of manners and hospitality.” Turning to the assembled media: “My, my, aren’t you a salty bunch.”
After Northwestern hired Collins in March 2013 to be its head coach, Krzyzewski brought Scheyer back to Durham in a special assistant role.

“My mindset in those at-bats is easy: Just try to produce,” Abreu said through an interpreter during a conference call Wednesday, before the scheduled game against the Indians was postponed because of rain. “Since I was in Cuba, I learned if you’re third, fourth or fifth in the batting order, you have to produce and you have to produce in those moments. I like those moments, I like to be in those moments and that day was a good day for me.”
“You go back to last year and our home record (19-14), and I remember around here (people saying), ‘Oh, why aren’t you playing well at home?’ ” Rizzo said. “Well, we were used to 30,000, 40,000 people screaming and drinking beer snakes in the bleachers and going crazy, and then we just have empty seats.
From roughly 1800 to the mid-1830s, the Natchez Trace saw heavy traffic from soldiers, Kaintucks, animals, wagons and more. Stands, or inns, sprang up to serve the travelers, along with ferries, stores and other services. Yet a trip along the heavily used federal road was far from a pleasant stroll. “Hardships of journeying on the Old Trace included heat, mosquitoes, poor food, hard beds (if any), disease, swollen rivers, and sucking swamps,” reads one interpretive sign, noting that “a broken leg or arm could spell death for the lone traveler.”
