MORRISTOWN, N.J. (AP) — Henry Cejudo marched to the stage for a faceoff with his opponent and punted a pillow printed with an image of Aljamain Sterling into the crowd.As the days moved closer to their bantamweight title bout, hostilities finally started to flare much more than their awkward docile exchange earlier in the week inside a New Jersey hotel.The two UFC fighters were filmed making small talk when they bumped into each other ahead of Saturday’s main event fight at UFC 288. Sterling — who once made a rather suggestive comment where Cejudo could stick his Olympic gold medal — told his challenger he appreciated him taking the fight.Cejudo simply replied he’d been training hard and wished the champ luck.Maybe the fighters need a trash talk boot camp.Sterling, the 135-pound champion since 2021, caught Cejudo (16-2) by surprise when members of his crew filmed the meeting.“I don’t like it. This is personal, You can’t do that,” Cejudo said later, laughing. “I just think he wants t...

Colorado isn't the only state thinking about state-controlled land use

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:26:54 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- It isn't just the Centennial State. Colorado's land use bill is the local example of a zoning policy discussion happening in state legislatures across the nation. The original bill would have preempted local land control, requiring 30% of single-family zoned land to be rezoned for denser development. Representatives heavily amended the bill, however. Instead, the bill would create a state board to review land use issues. House members debate drastically changed land-use bill Across the country, the measures seek some kind of pressure valve for housing prices, which have mushroomed in price in the last decade and particularly in the West. As with Colorado's bill, some are bipartisan. Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oregon, Utah, Virginia and Washington have each considered some kind of state control measure in the last five years, according to a policy analysis group Lincoln Institute o...

New king? Canadians don’t care

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:26:54 GMT

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is heading to London with a delegation that includes Inuit and Indigenous leaders, superstar youth and a Canadian astronaut who’s heading to the moon.  Canada couldn’t care less.Actually, it’s worse than that. A majority of Canadians in every region would actually vote to eliminate the monarchy, according to timely new polling from Abacus Data, In Quebec, where provincial lawmakers recently abolished an obligatory oath to the king, that number is 82 percent.Pollster David Coletto says the results should not be a surprise — any goodwill toward the monarchy was exclusive to Queen Elizabeth II, affection that is not transferable. “With her passing, that reason to show any respect for the institution is gone,” Coletto told POLITICO. “Canada has changed a lot in the past 20 years. Generational change and immigration from non-European countries means the monarchy is so much less relevant.”Canada’s national television networks will star...

BRUSSELS — A deal struck just a week ago between the EU executive and the bloc’s Eastern frontline states to clear a massive grain glut is already falling apart, and with it, the bloc’s unity in supporting Ukraine in the face of Russia’s war of aggression.The April 28 deal essentially had two elements: The first was a temporary ban on imports of Ukrainian wheat, maize, rapeseed and sunflower seed that would allow some respite for the group of five Eastern countries — Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Romania — to clear the backlog.The second was to facilitate the transit of Ukrainian produce across the territory of the five countries, enabling shipments to continue to third countries — particularly those in the Global South that have faced disruptions to supplies, and rising hunger, as a result of Russia’s invasion last year and blockade of Ukraine’s main Black Sea export route.Poland has led calls to distribute the surplus in the form of humanitarian aid:...
