A Houma resident will appear on a nationally televised game show tonight, one she's loved for as long as she can remember. |
Stephanie Toups, 28, is one of three contestants participating in tonight's episode of “Wheel of Fortune,” a game show that's been around since 1975. |
Contestants take turns trying to solve a word puzzle and win cash and prizes determined by spinning a giant brightly colored wheel. |
Toups' episode was filmed in July in Los Angeles in front of a live audience. It airs at 6:30 p.m. on Fox 8. |
She's not allowed to say whether she won, so you'll have to tune in to find out how she fared. |
Toups' appearance on the show was part luck and a whole lot of patience. |
The administrative assistant for Complete Network Management of Houma said she registered online and then got an invitation to try out at an April taping in New Orleans. |
Toups' sister, Glenda, tagged along for the July 14 filming. |
As much as 1062 megawatts (MWs) of electricity have been added to the country’s national grid as Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today inaugurated six power plants and nine grid substations. |
The premier opened these power plants and grid substations through a videoconferencing from her official Gono Bhaban residence in Dhaka this morning. |
Through the same function, Sheikh Hasina also launched the power supply to Sandwip upazila in Chattogram through submarine cable, the first of its kind in the country, and cent percent electrification in 12 upazilas. |
The six power plants inaugurated by the prime minister are Sirajganj 282MW Simple Cycle Power Plant, Bhola 225MW Combined Cycle Power Plant, Chandpur 200MW Power Plant, Ashuganj 150MW Power Plant, Rupsha in Khulna 105MW Power Plant, Julda in Chattogram 100MW Power Plant (3rd unit). |
The nine grid substations are Ramganj, Barishal (North), Baroiyerhat, Shikalbaha, Jaldhaka, Sunamganj, Bianibazar, Rangamati and Matarbari. |
The 12 upazilas which came under cent percent power coverage are Harinakundu, Thakurgaon Sadar, Baliadangi, Goalanda, Kalukhali, Bamna, Lakhai, Shaistaganj, Ajmiriganj, Bahubal, Melandah and Islampur. |
According to officials of the power ministry, a total of 306 upazilas have so far been brought under cent percent electricity coverage. |
Of them, cent percent electrification was inaugurated in 263 upazilas, while it will be launched in the rest of 43 upazilas by June this year, the officials said. |
PM’s Energy Adviser Dr Towfik-e-Elahi Chowdhury, State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid Bipu spoke at the function. |
Power Division Secretary Dr Ahmad Kaikaus gave an overview on the overall development in the power sector, while PM’s Principal Secretary Dr Nojibur Rahman moderated the function. |
Dr Kaikaus said as many as 92 per cent people have been brought under electricity coverage as the country achieved capability of producing 20,854MW electricity. |
“Bangladesh has now been turned into a power surplus country from a deficit one thanks to inauguration of 100 new power plants over the last 10 years,” he said. |
Former ministers and Awami League senior leaders Tofail Ahmed and Engineer Mosharraf Hossain, former state minister Mirza Azam, ex-deputy minister Abdullah Islam Al Jakob and parliament members of the concerned areas were present at Ganabhaban. |
The teen who was hounded and ultimately killed by alleged Texas school shooter Dimitrios Pagourtzis told her parents she was afraid the creep would hurt her — and that if he did, she’d “haunt him forever,” her dad said. |
Shana Fisher, 16, had the chilling premonition just two weeks before she was gunned down — along with seven other students and two teachers at Santa Fe High School. |
“Shana told her mother two weeks ago he was going to come and kill her,” her dad, Timothy Thomas, told the Daily Mail. |
The girl’s mother, Sadie Rodriguez, recounted to multiple outlets how the twisted Pagourtzis, 17, went after her daughter for four months — until Fisher ultimately told him to cut it out in front of their class, a week before his rampage. |
“I know he had pestered her to go out with him. She kept telling him no. For one, he supposedly already had a girlfriend. And two, she just didn’t have feelings for the boy,” said Thomas, 41. |
The high school junior told her parents Pagourtzis was going to try to kill her, the dad said. |
Thomas, who split with the teen’s mom and remarried 13 years ago, said he recently reconnected with his daughter and watched her grow into a “beautiful, smart” young woman who dreamed of becoming an artist. |
“I believe my daughter has moved from here to heaven, those thoughts are what’s keeping me going,” he said. |
The distraught dad wondered how none of Pagourtzis’ teachers saw the shooting coming. |
“If they are smart enough to teach our kids, they should be smart enough to see when something is badly wrong with someone,” he said. |
One question is how much any single supporting player — even someone with his depth of experience and breadth of network — can do to influence what’s poised to become the most intense, expensive, consequential and nationally galvanizing confirmation battle in decades. |
Part of the answer lies in defining expectations for the “chief sherpa,” the universally adopted but totally informal title for the volunteer job Kyl has signed on to for the next several months. Like the Tibetans who assist climbers up the bewildering and onerous topography of the Himalayas, a confirmation sherpa is s... |
Brett Kavanaugh knows one version of the drill, having endured almost three years of senatorial delay and dispute before securing confirmation in 2006 to his current position, as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. |
But the polarized partisanship of the Senate has intensified substantially in the past dozen years, no more so than in the judicial wars. And fights over Supreme Court seats are far more fierce and multifaceted than struggles for spots on the lower courts. |
The judicial demeanor Kavanaugh has developed at the D.C. federal courthouse, and the political acumen he honed before that as a senior White House official, may need to be tweaked for the unique nature of the contentious campaign ahead in the Capitol. |
So his memories of earlier courtesy calls in the offices of ambivalent or even hostile senators, and hours parrying questions in the Judiciary Committee, can certainly stand to be refreshed and updated by an experienced guide — someone adept at managing campaigns that eliminate potential pitfalls and capitalize on all ... |
Kyl certainly seems to fit the bill, and can also act as advance man and media messenger for a nominee who’s expected to say nothing at all in front of the cameras during his visits with individual senators, and not much that’s headline-worthy at his hearing. |
This will be the third sherpa assignment for Kyl, 76, a premier Washington rainmaker at the white-shoe law and lobbying firm Covington & Burling since 2013, when his retirement took effect after three terms as a senator from Arizona. He prepared Seattle hotelier Gordon Sondland, confirmed last month as ambassador to th... |
Kyl is part of a lengthening roster of prominent former GOP senators who have taken the Supreme Court lead sherpa role. A few months after losing re-election in New Hampshire, Kelly Ayotte escorted Neil Gorsuch on visits with more than 70 senators before his confirmation last year. Indiana’s Dan Coats, now director of ... |
For Kyl, the assignment began Monday night in the East Room, when he took the seat next to Judiciary Chairman Charles E. Grassley of Iowa just before President Donald Trump announced who Kyl’s “client” would be for the next several months. He was at Kavanaugh’s side a few hours later (along with Vice President Mike Pen... |
By that time, one of Kyl’s lobbying clients, the conservative Judicial Crisis Network, had unveiled a 30-second TV spot touting Kavanaugh’s biography and a $1.4 million initial advertising buy in the home states of four centrist Democrats seen as potential votes for confirmation: Joe Manchin III of West Virginia, Joe D... |
The group had spent almost 10 times as much to lobby for Gorsuch’s confirmation, including $215,000 to Covington & Burling when Kyl was assigned to work the Senate corridors on the network’s behalf. |
In May, he was hired to pursue another cause dear to the right — exposing signs of left-leaning political bias at influential media organizations. Weeks after founder Mark Zuckerberg testified before an often hostile GOP Congress, Facebook brought Kyl aboard as an adviser to examine claims that the social media behemot... |
Kyl has been studying the Hill’s evolving culture since he was a teenager, because his father John H. Kyl spent more than a decade starting in 1959 as a Republican congressman from Iowa. |
But the younger Kyl moved to Arizona and decided to make his life there, practicing law in Phoenix and running the city’s Chamber of Commerce before winning an open House seat in 1986. He won an open Senate seat eight years later. |
By the end of his Senate run, Kyl was regarded as a brainy player on a broad array of issues — from foreign policy and weapons systems to taxes and immigration — whose persuasiveness behind closed doors could shape a consensus position within an ideologically factionalized caucus. In public, meanwhile, his lawyerly foc... |
During his tenure, five Supreme Court nominations came to the Hill. He voted against both of President Barack Obama’s picks, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, and before that his open ambivalence helped doom Harriet Miers, the George W. Bush choice who withdrew after too many conservatives damned her with the faintest p... |
And he once led conservative opposition to an appeals court candidate championed by several influential Senate GOP colleagues, including fellow Republican leader Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, on the grounds the nominee had expressed a willingness to consider foreign laws, not just the U.S. Constitution, in deciding cas... |
The Hillbillies win their first playoff game since the 2015 season and will host Lyndhurst next week. |
VERONA — Senior running back Nick Riggio rushed for 250 yards on 20 attempts and scored three touchdowns as No. 2 seed Verona advanced past No. 7 Dumont, 35-7, on Friday. |
Following a scoreless first quarter on a soggy field, Riggio broke through for a 39-yard touchdown run in the second quarter for the game's first points. Steven Brito caught an 18-yard touchdown pass from Cael Zebrowski and Nick Giuliano ran in for two points to put Verona up, 15-0, at the half. Riggio rushed for a 48 ... |
Verona, the No. 2 seed in the bracket, moves on to host No. 3 Lyndhurst in the sectional semifinals. One year earlier, the Golden Bears made the postseason as the No. 8 seed over the Hillbillies via a tiebreaker. Almost one year later to the day, both teams advance to the semifinals with strong run games. Lyndhurst jun... |
► With a victory on Friday against Lyndhurst, it will be the 450th victory in Verona football history. Verona football dates back to 1939 and has an all-time win-loss record of 449-277-11. |
► Of the three remaining teams in the North 2, Group 2 bracket, Verona has only previously faced one of them. Verona is 9-13-1 in 23 career matchups against Mountain Lakes, last facing the Lancers in 2008. Verona has never faced Rutherford and will take on Lyndhurst for the first time ever on Friday. |
Following the lone touchdown by Dumont before halftime, Riggio ripped off a 48 yard touchdown run in the third quarter to take back a two-touchdown lead. The Hillbillies never allowed the Huskies to get back into a rhythm. |
► Freshman quarterback Cael Zebrowski handled his first career postseason start well. Zebrowski wasn't asked to do much, but completed six of his 11 passes for 111 yards and a touchdown. The Huskies had caused 14 sacks and forced 17 turnovers during the season coming into the game and Zabrowski kept Dumont's defense fr... |
► Verona (7-2) hosts Lyndhurst (8-1) on Friday in the North 2, Group 2 semifinals. |
► Dumont (4-5) hosts Tenafly (4-5) on Nov. 22. |
Florida's search for the state's first chancellor of K-12 schools had nearly reached its end last week when the search committee decided to extend the hunt. |
Two finalists have emerged: Carmen V. Russo, the Baltimore schools' chief executive officer, and Clifford B. Janey, the former superintendent in Rochester, N.Y. |
But members of the state board of education and Florida Secretary of Education Jim Horne decided more finalists were needed for interviews, said state board spokesman Bill Edmonds. |
The search might extend into late October, he said. |
Ms. Russo has a home in Florida and was the deputy superintendent of the Broward County schools, based in Fort Lauderdale, until she left for the 93,000-student system in Baltimore two years ago. |
Florida officials want someone experienced at running a large school system for the new K-12 post. The chancellor will serve under the state's appointed education secretary, Mr. Horne, who oversees the entire "K-20" education system with the state board of education. "Florida Breaking Down Walls Between K-12, Higher Ed... |
Illinois schools that implemented an optional system of standards and assessment for learning saw improvements in their students' scores on statewide standardized tests for the 3rd, 5th, and 8th grades, according to a study commissioned by state education officials. |
The new report, which drew on a random sampling of 61 schools across the state, provides what may be the most comprehensive look to date of the link between classroom standards and success on standardized tests in Illinois, state officials and researchers who worked on the study suggested. |
The study concluded that schools that made a greater effort to use the Illinois Learning Standards in classroom instruction saw their scores on the Illinois Standards Assessment Test, or ISAT, rise for 3rd grade reading and for 5th and 8th grade mathematics. |
Scores in the other subjects within each grade saw no significant changes, said Lizanne DeStefano, a professor of educational psychology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and one of the researchers who completed the study. |
