It was 1979 when Sugarhill Gang first uttered the words “I said a hip, hop, the hippie to the hippie to the hip hip hop-a you don’t stop the rock.”And they haven’t stopped booging to the beat ever since. In fact, they’re playing at Gulfstream Park this Saturday.Deco caught up with the crew to reminisce about the start of it all.Can’t talk about hip-hop without “Rapper’s delight”.Sugarhill Gang just celebrated the 40th anniversary of their hit song.For member Master Gee, there was no way to know they started something by just saying the words “hip-hop.”Master Gee: “When we created ‘rapper’s delight’ and at that point there were no categories for our music. And it was just still R&B groups. We thought the record was going to be good, yeah, the record was going to be successful but we had no idea it was going to launch a global phenomenon.”But most importantly, it opened up the rap world...

With Holiday, Porzingis in Boston and Harden trying to leave 76ers, Celtics the best of the Atlantic

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:17:03 GMT

When James Harden was twice scoring 40 points against Boston in last season’s playoffs, it was easy to picture a championship in Philadelphia’s future.Now it’s hard to picture a future at all between Harden and the 76ers.The only Atlantic Division team with the look of a champion at this point is the Celtics, who the Sixers had down and nearly out five months ago.With Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis arriving in Boston to join Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, the Celtics should easily be the class of the division and maybe even once again the entire Eastern Conference after falling one game shy of the NBA Finals in 2022-23.The New York Knicks should be back in the playoffs, the Brooklyn Nets could be and the Toronto Raptors, under a new coach, will try to bounce back after missing them.The question mark is Philadelphia, at least until the saga with Harden has played out.The 76ers opted not to give him a contract extension after he struggled in the final two g...

He worked as a nurse at the facility from 2010 until 2018, interacting with women in custody who either sought medical treatment or worked in the prison’s medical unit.

Kansas agency investigated girl’s family 5 times before she was killed, a report shows

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:17:03 GMT

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Child welfare officials investigated the family of a 5-year-old Kansas girl five times in the 13 months before she was raped and killed, but couldn’t confirm allegations of neglect or drug use by her mother, and the family repeatedly declined offers of help, a report released Tuesday showed. The report by the state Department of Children and Families said in one case, the agency confirmed that the mother wasn’t properly supervising Zoey Felix, but the girl was placed with her father and because of that, “No safety concerns were identified.” After receiving allegations in late August of drug use and lack of utilities in the home, child welfare officials made seven failed attempts to reach the family over the next month.On Oct. 2, Zoey died after fire crews couldn’t resuscitate her at a gas station. Neighbors believe Zoey and her father had been camping in a grove of trees on a vacant lot nearby. Mickel Cherry, a 25-year-old homeless man, is charg...

Canada Pension Plan board says Alberta pension exit consults are biased, manipulative

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:17:03 GMT

EDMONTON — The board of the Canada Pension Plan says Alberta’s consultation with its citizens on quitting the CPP is not a straightforward fact-finding exercise but rather a biased manipulation of public opinion.Alberta Finance Minister Nate Horner, in response, says he welcomes all feedback but says the CPP is not an innocent bystander given the disproportionately large share of assets it accrues from his province.The CPP launched its criticisms of Alberta’s pension exit public survey and advertising campaign in a letter Tuesday to Jim Dinning, the heading of a panel collecting public input on whether Alberta should leave the CPP. “We respectfully want to flag to you as head of the panel some troubling elements that in our view undermine the transparency, fairness, and integrity of the consultation process that has been put forward to the public so far,” Michel Leduc, the senior managing director of the CPP Investment Board, writes to Dinning.Leduc focuses on the government’s onlin...

DENVER (AP) — The remains of at least 189 people have been removed from a Colorado funeral home, up from an initial estimate of about 115 when the decaying and improperly stored bodies were discovered two weeks ago, officials said Tuesday.The remains were found by authorities responding to a report of an “abhorrent smell” inside a decrepit building at the Return to Nature Funeral Home in the small town of Penrose, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) south of Denver. All the remains were removed from the site as of Oct. 13, but officials said the numbers could change again as the identification process continues.The updated count comes as families who did business with the funeral home grow increasingly concerned about what happened to their deceased loved ones. Local officials said they will begin notifying family members in the coming days as the remains are identified.There is no timeline to complete the work, which began last week with help from an FBI team that gets deployed to mas...
