Inside the secretive committee wiring Europe’s finances

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:02:09 GMT

It’s a tale of intrigue, improbable friendship and backroom deal-making that gets to the heart of where political power in the EU really lies.And it concerns one of the bloc’s most secretive — yet influential — bodies, and two of its leading members who have just been booted off it.You’ve probably not heard of the body, and you’ve almost certainly never heard of the pair of officials, yet a clearer example of power-behind-the-throne you’re unlikely to find. Backstage, the strings they pulled helped steer the bloc through choppy economic waters.The twin departures of the Italian and German senior treasury officials, Alessandro Rivera and Carsten Pillath, leave a gap at the center of EU decision-making at a time when governments are battling record inflation, facing a potential banking crisis, and bickering over how to change EU spending rules.Rivera and Pillath sat on the Economic and Financial Committee, and its smaller eurozone-only cousin, the Eurogroup Working Group.

Div. 1-2 baseball preview: Defending champs Milton still rule

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:02:09 GMT

As Milton gears up to defend its Div. 2 state title, Brendan Morrissey is seeing the same poise in his club he saw from a year ago.While the Wildcats graduated the likes of Charlie Walker, Brian Foley, and Shea Donovan, they are still the clear favorite in Div. 2 as the 2023 MIAA baseball season gets underway. Elon-bound junior left-hander Tommy Mitchell and two-way standout Owen MucHugh front the rotation while Jimmy Fallon and sophomore budding star Scott Longo spearhead the lineup.“I’ve been impressed with our mindset so far coming into the season. It’s really no different than last year,” Milton coach Brendan Morrissey said. “Our guys know they have the talent to get to where we want to get to, but they also have a lot of work to do to get there.”The Div. 2 state finalist from a year ago, King Philip, will be in contention to finish the job this time around. Brendan Senjac is one of the best pure hitters in Eastern Mass and when healthy, Tommy...

San Diego gas prices expected to rise

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:02:09 GMT

SAN DIEGO -- Gas prices are on the move again as experts warn of the summer gas demand expected just around the corner.“The gas price average in San Diego is now $4.90 for a gallon of regular unleaded. That is 3 cents higher than a week ago, it’s 3 cents less than a month ago,” said Doug Shoupe from the Auto Club of Southern California. Price increases are happening just as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), the conglomerate of oil producing nations, is cutting oil production, sending prices higher as well.   California Lottery players win $1 million each from scratcher games “They are going to cut back on supply and so when supply is reduced there's not as much of it out there and that tends to drive up prices,” said Alan Gin from University of San Diego’s Knauss School of Business. While it sounds like prices are going to soar, signals in the economy are slowing and Gin says U.S. oil producers are pumping more oil than ever into the U.S. market. “...

Why do Jerusalem tensions fuel regionwide unrest?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:02:09 GMT

JERUSALEM (AP) — It’s become something of a grim, springtime tradition in the Holy Land. Israeli police fire tear gas and rubber bullets at Palestinians stockpiling rocks and fireworks inside one of the most bitterly disputed holy sites on Earth. The violence ripples across Israel and the occupied West Bank, and militants from as far away as Gaza and Lebanon respond with rockets.Similar tensions in 2021 boiled over into an 11-day Gaza war. Violence at the holy site in 2000 ignited a five-year Palestinian uprising and a fierce Israeli military crackdown across the occupied territories. One of the first major outbreaks of Jewish-Arab violence occurred in Jerusalem’s Old City in the spring of 1920, in what became known as the Nebi Musa riots.What is it about Jerusalem? What is it about the hilltop compound in the heart of the Old City known to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary and to Jews as the Temple Mount?WHY IS THE JERUSALEM HOLY SITE SACRED TO MUSLIMS AND JEWS?The Noble S...

Mikko Rantanen’s hat trick completes Avalanche’s first 50-goal season in 20 years, as Avs beat Sharks

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:02:09 GMT

Mikko Rantanen has reiterated for weeks that the individual achievements don’t matter to him. Not true, said Jared Bednar. The Avalanche coach noticed Rantanen has been “squeezing his stick a little tight” in recent games.The chances kept piling up, but the results weren’t as frequent.“You’re going to think about it It’s human nature,” Bednar said last Saturday after Rantanen scored his 49th goal. “You’re at 48. You’re not thinking about it when you’re maybe at 40, 39. … I don’t want him to have it in his head. But I think now he can taste it.”Once he finally got it, there was no looking back.With a game-tying goal in the first period of a 6-2 win over the Sharks, Rantanen became the Avalanche’s first 50-goal scorer in a season since Milan Hejduk in 2002-03. Then Rantanen scored twice more by the halfway point of the second period, becoming the first Avs player ever with three hat tricks ...
