George Santos charged with stealing campaign cash, covid unemployment

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 06:55:00 GMT

CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y.  — U.S. Rep. George Santos, infamous for fabricating his life story, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges he duped donors, stole from his campaign and lied to Congress about being a millionaire, all while cheating to collect unemployment benefits he didn’t deserve.Santos said afterward that he wouldn’t drop his reelection bid, defying calls to resign.Santos’ 13-count federal indictment was a reckoning for a web of fraud and deceit that prosecutors say overlapped with the New York Republican’s fantastical public image as a wealthy businessman — a fictional biography that began to unravel after he won election last fall.Santos, 34, was released on $500,000 bond following his arraignment, about five hours after turning himself in to face charges of wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds and making false statements to Congress. He surrendered his passport and could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.“This is the b...

Some offseason dos and don’ts for rebuilding Boston Bruins

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 06:55:00 GMT

The time for the Bruins to take their medicine has arrived.GM Don Sweeney did the right thing this year. He saw the opportunity for his record-setting team and he pushed in all his chips. It was the right approach, and very wrong results.Now, the B’s are sitting without a draft pick in the first and second rounds this year, and without a pick in the first three rounds next year. They have only six NHL forwards under contract. They still have to sign goalie Jeremy Swayman. They’ve got less than $10 million in cap space.Change is coming, as Sweeney promised, as anyone with access to capfriendly.com can tell. A lot of it is going to hurt. The good news is that most of the players that they do have under contract – including David Pastrnak, Brad Marchand, Pavel Zacha, Charlie Coyle, Charlie McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm – are all legitimate difference-makers on any given night. The Bruins can remain competitive, but making the right choices of who should stay and who should wil...

Cathy Hobbs | Tribune News ServiceAs home and work have converged for many, it can be challenging to discern how to separate the two. How do you avoid having home feel like “the office” while still creating an environment that feels like home? Where is the work-life balance?Here are some recommendations for designing an ideal blend of work and relaxation under the same roof.1. Create a separate area for work. Ideally, this should be a separate room. If you can’t, creating a work “zone” that is separate and distinct from other activities will help.2. Take frequent breaks during the day. Once in the morning, once around lunch and once before the end of the day is ideal.3. Spend some time outdoors. Taking time for a breath of fresh air will help instill a sense of calm.4. Infuse soothing colors to inspire serenity. Pure white, neutrals and soothing blues are a good place to start.5. Incorporate greenery and other natural elements. Trees and plants can go a long way in helping a space f...
