NorCal softball regionals: St. Francis shrugs off shaky start against SRV and advances

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:48:00 GMT

MOUNTAIN VIEW – One error plus a wild pitch equaled an unhappy head coach to start St. Francis’ softball game against San Ramon Valley. Three days after the home team lost the Central Coast Section Open Division final 4-0 to Hollister, Mike Oakland’s Lancers looked just as shaky as the team that had been shut out in the title game during the first two batters of the game. But with ace pitcher Kate Munnerlyn in top form, the Lancers sandwiched popups in between a swinging strikeout to swerve out of danger’s way in the top of the first. The Mountain View school went on to run-rule SRV 10-0 in five innings and advanced to the second round of NorCal Division I play, where the defending champions will host Central-Fresno.“It wasn’t our best start, but what I liked about it was that we didn’t panic,” Oakland said. “We stayed composed and got out of it.” St. Francis’ Kate Munnerlyn (8) pitches against San Ramon in the fourth inning at St. Francis High School in Mountain View, Calif.,...

La politique, ce n’est pas seulement pour “gonfler son carnet d’adresses”, estime François Hollande

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:48:00 GMT

Pas touche à la Haute autorité pour la transparence de la vie publique : c’est, en substance, le message d’anniversaire adressé par le président François Hollande aux détracteurs de l’institution qu’il a fait naître il y a dix ans, dans les remous de l’affaire Cahuzac.L’organe de la déontologie des responsables publics, bâti sur les cendres d’institutions qui avaient failli à prévenir l’un des plus retentissants scandales politiques de la décennie, a pris du relief depuis sa création “extrêmement douloureuse”, selon les termes de François Hollande, qui a donné une interview exclusive à POLITICO. La soixantaine de collaborateurs de la Haute autorité sont en effet chargés de veiller au contrôle des mobilités vers le privé des ministres et de leurs collaborateurs, à la transparence des déclarations d’intérêts des élus avant et après leur mandat, ou encore à la bonne tenue d’un registre des activités de lobbying. Ils pourraient même, à terme, se mêler de contrôler les conflit...

En France, la culture du pantouflage fait de la résistance

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:48:00 GMT

“Est-on allés trop loin dans la régulation des conflits d’intérêts ?”, s’interrogeait Cédric O en préambule d’une tribune, publiée en janvier dans Le Monde. Avec cette ode au pantouflage, l’ancien secrétaire d’Etat au numérique s’est fait le porte-voix d’un discours de plus en plus fréquent dans les couloirs des ministères : la culture de la transparence et les mesures visant à prévenir les conflits d’intérêts ne seraient pas un remède, mais un poison pour la vie politique.En creux, c’est aussi une remise en question directe de l’action de la Haute autorité pour la transparence de la vie publique (HATVP), qui publie aujourd’hui son rapport annuel et fête ses dix ans d’existence.Conçue comme une réponse au scandale de fraude fiscale déclenché par l’ancien ministre du Budget Jérôme Cahuzac, la HATVP exerce un contrôle en trois temps des responsables politiques. Elle examine leurs situations patrimoniales, doit prévenir les situations de conflits d’intérêts au moment de leur prise...

Chicago White Sox offense picks up Lucas Giolito with a 5-run 4th in a 7-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:48:00 GMT

The Chicago White Sox had just taken a three-run lead.They needed a shutdown inning in the fifth. Lucas Giolito did just that, striking out Taylor Ward and Mike Trout and getting Shohei Ohtani to fly out to right.Giolito was the winning pitcher as the Sox defeated the Los Angeles Angels 7-3 on Tuesday in front of 22,135 at Guaranteed Rate Field.But he gave credit to the offense.“The real story is that the offense did such a wonderful job picking me up,” Giolito said. “The first inning I give up a run, put us in a hole. They immediately answer back, tie it up, it’s a brand-new game. The fourth inning, I give up two and then they immediately answer back.“They prevented (shutdown innings) from happening twice, which gets the momentum directly back to our side, so all the credit to them. I didn’t pitch well enough to deserve a win next to my name. They just did their thing and I was able to kind of grind through five innings.”Romy Gonzalez playe...
