7+ hour, 17+ min ago (183+ words) RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - The Nevada Homeland Security Commission has approved the Fuel Resiliency Committee created by Governor Joe Lombardo. The Fuel Resiliency Committee will operate under the HSC and will be charged with strengthening the state's preparedness, security and long-term planning related to fuel supply. Lombardo floated the proposal back in October in response to what he felt were vulnerabilities in the state's fuel system. Lombardo says the state is heavily dependent on refinery capacity in California, as well as a limited number of pipelines serving Nevada's population centers and infrastructure. The committee was approved on Tuesday and will begin work immediately. "Nevada cannot afford to be reactive when it comes to fuel security," said Governor Joe Lombardo. "Today's successful approval of the Fuel Resiliency Committee ensures our state will take a proactive, coordinated approach to understanding our risks, strengthening…...

14+ hour, 38+ min ago (608+ words) Megaphones blasted out chants that echoed across a chilly Codman Hill on Monday night as some 40 ralliers aired their objections to a Boston Public School proposal that would eliminate both the high school grades and a transition program for older students at Dorchester's Henderson Upper School. The protester group, which included students, parents, and teachers, gathered on Croftland Avenue before a presentation from district officials that was set for Monday evening in the school auditorium.

One speaker was Dr. William Henderson, the retired founder of the school and an early adherent to full-inclusion programs, who urged BPS officials to re-consider the move. "You all have done a great job over the last several years on creating quality inclusion," said…...

19+ hour, 43+ min ago (1834+ words) Mark Pope had seen enough. That was a true statement well before Kentucky took the Rupp Arena court Tuesday night for what turned out to be a 103-67 victory over North Carolina Central, one of the lowest-rated teams in college basketball and the sixth overmatched opponent that the Wildcats have run off their home court this season. Pope wasn't happy before, during or after this 36-point win. It didn't do anything to change the narrative around his UK basketball team, a group that has feasted on cupcakes while going 0-4 against quality opposition. The second-year Kentucky coach has worn heartache on his sleeve after those losses, but his demeanor during the course of the defeats " mostly positive with his players, often stoic amid the onslaughts " rubbed a vocal portion of the UK fan base the wrong way. Why doesn't Pope show more…...

No scene exemplified this shift better Tuesday night than a near-30-second sequence in the first half. Backup UK forward Brandon Garrison " he lost his starting job after five games, giving way to freshman Malachi Moreno " put forth little resistance guarding North Carolina Central's Khouri Carvey, who proceeded to convert a point-blank layup. On the ensuing possession, Garrison coughed up the ball in the paint. NCCU's Ryan Archey came up with the ball, then passed ahead to teammate Kyric Davis. All the while, Garrison leisurely made his way up the court " jogging at best, loafing at worst. As soon as Davis slammed it home, Pope called timeout. He met Garrison before the 6-foot…...
