Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:42:39 GMT

(CNN) — An air cargo container carrying more than $15 million in gold and other valuables disappeared from Toronto’s Pearson International Airport Monday, and police are still trying to find out who is behind the high-value heist.The aircraft was unloaded and cargo was taken to a holding facility early Monday evening, “as per normal procedure,” said Stephen Duivesteyn of Peel Regional Police at a Thursday news conference at the airport.Then, “this high-value container was removed by illegal means from the holding facility,” he said.Police would not say whether security cameras captured the heist, which airline company transported the container or who owns the container.“What I can say is that the container contained a high-value shipment, it did contain gold but was not exclusive to gold and contained other items of monetary value,” said Duivesteyn, estimating the contents are worth about $15 million ($20 million Canadian dollars).Poli...

A story of atonement: Former Heat player Meyers Leonard’s path from anti-Semitic slur to rabbinical embrace as Miami’s playoff opponent

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:42:39 GMT

This was not how Meyers Leonard envisioned his return.Foremost, because he never wanted to leave.And yet in the wake of the shame of a single unfortunate, hurtful, ignorant moment two years ago, the former Miami Heat center returns with the Milwaukee Bucks for NBA playoff games in Miami as a study of one of the core tenets of the very culture he unwittingly disparaged.As a study in atonement.“Judaism is about second chances,” Rabbi Pinny Andrusier, director of the Chabad of Southwest Broward, told the South Florida Sun Sentinel this week when asked about Leonard. “We have Yom Kippur once a year.”As in the religion’s Day of Atonement.“But our prayers, for those unfamiliar, every single morning we acknowledge that during this day, in the morning since last night, in the afternoon since this morning, we might have done something to offend a fellow person or God,” Andrusier said. “We’re always asking for forgiveness.”As did Leo...

Young core of Orioles’ rotation displaying potential amid scoreless streak: ‘Bright futures ahead’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:42:39 GMT

Through the first few weeks of the season, the Orioles were being carried by their offense.Long balls by Ryan Mountcastle, consistent production from Adley Rutschman and frozen ropes from Austin Hays and Jorge Mateo were keeping the Orioles afloat as the club’s pitching staff, mostly its rotation, floundered.Not anymore.The Orioles, winners of three straight for the first time this season, haven’t allowed a run in 26 consecutive innings behind their young core of starting pitchers: Grayson Rodriguez, Kyle Bradish and Dean Kremer.“I think it’s baseball. You’re not gonna throw a shutout and score 10 runs every game,” Bradish said Wednesday after he pitched six scoreless innings in Baltimore’s 4-0 win over the Washington Nationals. “To be able to pick up the offense, when they’re going through a little lull — or vice versa — I think that just makes for a good team.”The young core, which could even include Tyler Wel...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:42:39 GMT

The upcoming schedule does not provide much relief for the Chicago White Sox., who have limped to a 7-12 start.First is the Tampa Bay Rays, who at 16-3 have the best record in baseball. Their season-opening winning streak ended at 13 on April 14 with a 6-3 loss to Toronto. The Blue Jays, who took two of three in that series, are 11-8 and trail the Rays by five games in the loaded American League East.The Rays and Blue Jays are up next for the Sox.“It’s definitely a challenge,” Sox manager Pedro Grifol said after Wednesday’s 5-2 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. “But we’ve got to play baseball. It doesn’t matter who we are playingagainst. A Major League Baseball game is a Major League Baseball game. We just have to go out there and prepare and compete.”The six-game trip begins Friday with the first of three against the Rays at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla.“They’re good teams but we’ve faced other good teams,...

Calling beer Champagne leaves French producers frothing

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:42:39 GMT

BRUSSELS (AP) — The guardians of Champagne will let no one take the name of the bubbly beverage in vain, not even a U.S. beer behemoth.For years, Miller High Life used the “Champagne of beers” slogan. This week, that appropriation became impossible to swallow.At the request of the trade body defending the interests of houses and growers of the northeastern French sparkling wine, Belgian customs crushed more than 2,000 cans of Miller High Life advertised as such.The Comité Champagne asked for the destruction of a shipment of 2,352 cans on the grounds that the century-old motto used by the American brewery infringes the protected designation of origin “Champagne.”The consignment was intercepted in the Belgian port of Antwerp in early February, a spokesperson at the Belgian Customs Administration said on Friday, and was destined for Germany. Belgian customs declined to say who had ordered the beers.The buyer in Germany “was informed and did not contest the decision,” the trade organiza...
