The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

As the University prepares for a long-term downturn in giving, interim Harvard President Alan M. Garber ’76 is leading the charge to woo back disillusioned donors. Harvard’s initial response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel infuriated many of the University’s major donors, but during the first weeks of the donor revolt, senior leadership remained optimistic that it could quickly win them back.

At BinStar, the price of items decreases throughout the work week, starting at ten dollars on Monday and dropping to just one dollar for deals after 4 pm on Friday. Then items spike to nineteen dollars on Saturday and fifteen dollars on Sunday, offering a truly dynamic shopping experience that keeps customers coming back for more.

Georgia voters kicked out incumbents, picked replacements for departing legislators and set the stage for June runoffs as well as the big show in November. Ballot casters up and down the Peach State made choices Tuesday that are already set to reshape the state Legislature, which could have an even greater effect on the average Georgian than who sits in the White House this time next year.

Rax hasn't been in Missouri for a long time. As Rax fizzled out of your community, it was probably converted into an Arby's or Fazoli's. Today, there are only a handful open in Illinois, Kentucky, and Ohio. It also doesn't appear that Rax has an official website any longer. The specialty, of course, was that roast beef sandwich. By the way, Arby's continues to do well.

Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips is no longer in Missouri but it still has two free-standing locations in Ohio. It once was a large chain across the country. I still recall the one off of 71 Highway in Kansas City, Missouri that used to be behind the once-popular Truman Corners Shopping Center. It was my mother's go-to spot for fish & chips. That was a long time ago.

With all the crazy news we hear these days, it is understandable that people might feel helpless to make a difference. It's true that you might not be able to cure the ills of the world, but you can, quite easily in fact, make a huge, positive difference in the life of a cat. Best of all--you reap the rewards too.

The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season started Saturday, and forecasters are predicting an exceptionally active season. If the National Hurricane Center’s early forecast , released May 23, is right, the North Atlantic could see 17 to 25 named storms, eight to 13 hurricanes, and four to seven major hurricanes by the end of November. That’s the highest number of named storms in any NOAA preseason forecast.

Aphids, also known as plant lice, are small, sap-sucking insects that belong to the superfamily Aphidoidea. They are one of the most common pests found in gardens and agricultural fields around the world. These tiny insects can cause significant damage to plants by feeding on their sap, which can lead to stunted growth, yellowing of leaves, and the transmission of plant diseases. Let's look at the different types of aphids, their lifecycle, the damage they can cause, and how to control and prevent infestations.

Migrant homeless encampment dwellers who have been swept from location to location by city crews finally won a reprieve Wednesday. On Wednesday, the city offered the encampment dwellers seven days of shelter instead of three, which was the original offer turned down by the campers. “It would hardly be a worthwhile respite before they would find themselves back on the streets with no support, scattered,” Housekeys Action Network Denver, or HAND, posted on Instagram.
