Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:14:43 GMT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — New Jersey rookie Luke Hughes was clobbered from behind, and he clutched his left arm on a hit that got a Flyers forward tossed. Hughes appeared in agony as he hunched over and skated to the locker room. The defenseman was even examined for a concussion.Hughes turned out fine — his head, his arm and especially his shot.Hughes took a perfect pass from older brother Jack Hughes — not quite the brotherly love Philly needed — and scored 28 seconds into overtime, leading the Devils to a 4-3 win over the Flyers on Thursday night.“I thought he showed a lot of determination,” Devils coach Lindy Ruff said. “We didn’t know if he was gonna get back, he took one heck of a hit. So to get back, play the way he did, compete the way he did, I don’t think he was 100 percent, but wanted to the finish the game.”Luke Hughes — who said the hit was just a brief stinger — took a bow as he skated into the waiting mob of Devils teammates.“Resilient win for our guys,” Hughes said.Alexande...

Bennet: US must disincentivize migrant-smuggling gangs Some Democrats say there should be limits to the funding, although no specifics have been shared. Certain lawmakers argue if the U.S. gives Israel more money, then Israel would have to agree to certain rules about how it moves forward in its war with Hamas.U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet said on "Colorado Point of View" this week that he has not been on board with conditions on military funding in the past, but he said he hasn't made a final decision yet. "Israel has to meet the highest standards in the course of this war, and they’re going to have to try to do everything they can to avoid killing civilians," he said.

Pilote, l’appli pour suivre les réformes qui a fait flop

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:14:43 GMT

Insuffler les méthodes du privé dans la gestion de l’Etat : c’était l’objectif de Pilote, une application de pilotage des réformes voulues par Emmanuel Macron.L’idée de l’outil est de réduire chaque réforme prioritaire du gouvernement à deux ou trois indicateurs, et de suivre leur avancée sur un tableau de bord. Avec des indicateurs disponibles par département ou au niveau national, et pouvant être analysés depuis l’Elysée jusqu’aux préfectures, en passant par les ministères.Pilote a été conçue à partir de 2020 et sa mise en œuvre initiale a été confiée à Capgemini. Mais sa première version n’était pas complètement au point. Selon plusieurs témoignages, l’application accumulait les bugs et les défauts, tant et si bien qu’une nouvelle version vient de sortir, intégralement réalisée par l’administration, a appris POLITICO auprès de plusieurs utilisateurs.La direction interministérielle de la transformation publique (DITP) justifie le recours à un cabinet de conseil par le besoin ...

‘Silent Night’ a violent winner from John Woo

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:14:43 GMT

The revenge thriller “Silent Night” marks the return of the great Hong Kong filmmaker John Woo (“Bullet in the Head,” “Hard Boiled,” “Face/Off”) to the U.S. in 20 years. Set in downtown Los Angeles, the dialogue-free film wastes no time in blasting off. We see Joel Kinnaman’s Brian Godluck, an electrical repairman, running down an alley chasing after gang members, whose four-wheeled shootout with another vehicle has taken the life of his young son with a stray bullet.Brian wears a blood-stained reindeer sweater with a bulging nose at his stomach. His face is a mirror of grief and vengeance. Instead of white doves, “Silent Night” gives us a single red balloon as a symbol of the soul that has been prematurely snatched at Christmastime. Brian catches up with the perpetrator (Harold Torres) and smashes his windshield only to be shot in the throat and deprived of his voice.The silence at the heart of “Silent Night” is only verbal. We hear everything else, especially the physical vi...
