The excitement for spring planting is building at a feverish pitch and many are wondering what they can do to add more pop to the landscape. The answer just may be ColorBlaze coleus, and I am not just talking a dab. A dab is precisely how many of you have looked at coleus. One little coleus here should do just fine. This prevalent thinking means we are under utilizing a terrific bedding plant, one that will be looking showy literally for months. In my Georgia zone 8 garden, I am pretty much guaranteed 200 days of award-winning performance. By awards, I’m talking about a bunch. The 18 varieties...

CHICAGO — The Punisher turns 50 this month. Normally, when anybody turns 50, you want to congratulate them. But the Punisher outlived his welcome somewhere during the Reagan administration. He is an artifact of a time when Americans could still agree broadly on what was right or wrong, moral or criminal. He should have died decades ago, and yet there he is, every day, glowering. Probably, you don’t know you’re looking at him. He’s cultural white noise to many and a cultural dog whistle to others. He stares at you from T-shirts and tattoos and, most noticeably, those little stickers on the back...

If you’re swiping on dating apps for hours, you’re not alone — and a new lawsuit claims it’s by design. Dating apps such as Tinder and Hinge are intentionally addictive, a class-action lawsuit filed in federal court in California on Valentine’s Day claims. Hidden algorithms push users to stay on the apps and “gamify dating” — counterintuitive to the apps’ intended purpose to help people find connections and form relationships, six plaintiffs contend in the lawsuit. “The truth is the apps are designed to be addictive,” according to the filing. “Match’s business model depends on generating retur...

MIAMI — While the ex-premier of the British Virgin Islands remains locked up in Miami after being convicted of cocaine smuggling, a federal judge still cannot figure out how to resolve doubts raised by a couple of jurors about their guilty verdicts nearly two weeks ago. U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams said this week that she wants both sides — federal prosecutors and defense attorneys who are at loggerheads — to return to her courtroom on March 7 with a potential legal solution to the seemingly intractable problem. “From the start, this has been an unusual case in many respects,” William...

Here’s a quick, colorful and filling veggie dinner. It’s made with walnuts that are toasted in the skillet before the other ingredients are added giving a little crunch while the mushrooms add an earthy flavor and meaty texture. I used cremini mushrooms. They’re very similar to portobello mushrooms, but in a different stage of maturity. HELPFUL HINTS: Any type of mushroom can be used. Any type of pasta can be used. COUNTDOWN: Place water for pasta on to boil. Assemble ingredients. Start the ragout. While the ragout cooks, boil the pasta. SHOPPING LIST: To buy: 1 container cremini or portobello...

GILROY, Calif. -- On a recent morning in Gilroy, Corporal Bobby Griffith and Officer Cameron Helms stood at the edge of a wooded area, texting a woman who lived in an encampment hidden among the trees. Soon after, Toni-Jo Napihaa lumbered out of the woods, enthusiastically greeting both officers with a hug. Helms and Griffith were checking in on Napihaa and her fiancé, Paul Lumbard. The officers had previously told them to move as part of a cleanup on Fish and Wildlife land, and wanted to make sure that none of the couple’s belongings were left at the encampment. They talked for a bit, and the...

What began as the largest wind project ever proposed in Washington — the Horse Heaven Hills wind farm — will likely soon be cut to a fraction of the original vision. Why? Because more than 100 of the turbines, which could stand taller than the Space Needle, might pose a danger to a little-known and endangered species in the Tri-Cities area: the ferruginous hawk. To protect the hawk, Washington's Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council, or EFSEC, will consider removing more than half of the project's proposed turbines, marking a victory for ecologists who petitioned for the changes but a substa...

RICHMOND, Va. — Free bus rides have made life easier for Melvin Wilson, a 28-year-old Richmond resident who was on his way to his warehouse job on a recent morning. His only worry is that fares, which once ate up $60 or more of his monthly pay, might come back and go even higher, making it harder for him to afford to get to work. “It could throw a lot of people like me out of their comfort zone. I think people would lose their jobs over this, especially if it happened too fast,” said Wilson, who was waiting with other riders at a downtown transfer station on a cold, sunny day earlier this mont...

As sports stadiums built in the 1990s show their age, many professional sports teams are looking for new facilities — and public money to pay for them. “We are just in the heating up phase of the next stadium construction wave,” said J.C. Bradbury, a Kennesaw State University economics professor who has researched the issue. “That’s part of the reason why you’re seeing a lot more stadiums happen.” Across the country, pro sports teams are gearing up to improve or build new stadiums and arenas. In Chicago, both the NFL’s Bears and the MLB’s White Sox are exploring moves. Baseball’s Cleveland Gua...

CHICAGO -- When Lincoln University administrator Antoinette “Bonnie” Candia-Bailey took her own life last month, the news broke the internet, a family friend said in a eulogy during homegoing services in Joliet, Illinois. People had a lot to say about the death of the 49-year-old Chicago native who was the Missouri school’s vice president of student affairs: She was a conduit, a convenor and, most passionately, an advocate, said her friends, family and colleagues. The abundance of national headlines, social media posts, essays, tributes and video conferences that ensued created a torrent of em...
