The journalist, Thein Zaw, 32, was taken into custody with a number of others on Saturday morning in Yangon, the country’s largest city. The arrest happened as police charged toward protesters gathered at the Hledan Center intersection, which has become a meeting point for demonstrators who then continue protesting elsewhere in the city.
Jenna Staiti scored 30 points, Maya Caldwell added 27, both career highs, and No. 17 Georgia pulled away from Florida for a 95-80 win on Sunday. Combined with No. 19 Kentucky's loss to Ole Miss, Georgia secured a top-four seed and a double-bye in next week's Southeastern Conference tournament. There were seven ties and 12 lead changes, the last coming when Que Morrison made two free throws and Caldwell followed with a layup to give the Lady Bulldogs a 51-48 lead midway through the third quarter.

Feb. 28—Think back to a simpler time, when life was precedented and flattened curves were hit for non-grim milestone home runs, and imagine if I had told you: The Mud Hens will open their season with a six-game series against a team from Nebraska in front of a capacity crowd of 3,000 or so masked fans at Fifth Third Field. You would have said the universe had gone mad. Today, it represents a ...
The show returned to the ice...with some suspiciously high marks.
The recent power outage across the US left millions of households in several days of blackout during the freezing cold weather. As power outages are happening more and more frequently, home batteries are becoming more and more popular for backup power supply since home batteries are emission-free, quiet, require no maintenance and little cost to use. However, home batteries selling on the market are expensive, priced higher than gas generators.
Feb. 28—About two hours before tip-off on Saturday, Toledo men's basketball coach Tod Kowalczyk climbed each step on the south side of Savage Arena, all the way up to Row 28 before sitting in a gold chair back seat in quiet thought for 20 minutes. Perhaps he was pondering the possibilities of the day because four hours later, the Toledo Rockets clinched a share of the Mid-American Conference ...
Feb. 28—A familiar scene played out at Savage Arena on Saturday afternoon: the University of Toledo women's basketball team rallying in the second half, only to come up on the wrong side of the scoreboard. The Rockets fell victim to superb shooting by Ball State, which shot 50 percent from the field and 3-point range, connecting on 12 of 24 attempts from beyond the arc, en route to an 88-77 ...
Feb. 28—Olivia Rebout capped off another successful season by winning two medals at the WIAA Division 1 state gymnastics meet Saturday at Wisconsin Rapids.

Feb. 28—Tricia Cullop gazed into a computer screen for the umpteenth time during a season that's gone off-script. The Toledo women's basketball team had just suffered its 10th loss in 14 games, this time at Eastern Michigan after the Rockets squandered a first-half lead and missed several free throws in the fourth quarter. Anguish was evident in her piercing eyes. Optimism was heard in her ...
Feb. 28—While, at times, the wind might be blowing 40 miles an hour and whipping snow into freestyle curvy architecture across the landscape, and the elements can throw daggers of Arctic cold fronts and unexpected warming trends with a reckless abandon that only Mom Nature understands, life is very different just a couple of feet down. There, under the ice that will seal the surface of a lot ...
Six recent studies suggest that people who've already come down with COVID-19 might not need to get a second vaccine dose.
Gareth Bale turned back time for Tottenham, while Chelsea and Manchester United seemed happy just to play out time. Bale looked like the star player who left Tottenham for Real Madrid in 2013 as he scored twice in the club’s 4-0 win over Burnley, prompting Spurs manager Jose Mourinho to pronounce him “better than ever" though still not suitable to start week-in, week-out. While Bale found his form, Harvey Barnes had his good run cut short by a knee injury in Leicester's 3-1 loss to Arsenal.
Feb. 28—When we think of politicians, the typical descriptors are of the "one word" or "one issue" variety — Democrat, Republican, pro-this, pro-that, anti-another thing, Whig, Bull Moose, or whatever. We see it in their campaign advertising and maybe are reminded of it throughout the term they serve. If we are lucky enough to see them in action, perhaps a chance will arise for them to exhibit ...

Feb. 28—Luddites, supposed followers of General Ned Ludd, a fabricated name for their movement, were skillful cloth manufacture artisans in England, who in the early 1800s resorted to violence against the newly developed mechanized looms that threatened their livelihood. The term has evolved to denote individuals who resist technological advancement for any reason, often having nothing to do ...

Feb. 28—WILLIAMSBURG — Brent Faber will more than meet his target opening date of April. He just had the wrong year. When Faber began renovating the former laundromat at 3953 Bunker Hill Road to create Stone Hound Brewing Company in early 2020, he targeted an opening date of April at the earliest, but certainly by Memorial Day. Things didn't go as planned because the COVID-19 pandemic didn't ...
