Bullet narrowly misses toddler in car seat in road rage shooting "My high school administration and superintendent have said 'no' twice. However, there are NO WRITTEN policies that state otherwise. I will not allow my culture, heritage, and nationality to be shut down from being represented. This goes for my current classmates' cultures as well as future graduate classes," Peña explained in the petition."Comparing the Mexican flag to the Nazi or a Confederate flag fall under the nationally banned flags due to hate symbolism.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KXRM) — Five-year-old Layton Williamson battled kidney cancer from 2 to 3 years old during the COVID-19 pandemic. "It's a cancer that affects your kidney and they had to take his kidney and his tumor out," Dylan Williamson, Layton's father said. "He has one kidney on his left and then it had metastasized all the way to his lung; they call it Stage Four because it metastasized so far."Amid the pandemic, Layton underwent radiation near his heart and chemotherapy for about a year. During his battle, Layton was chosen as a Make-A-Wish Colorado kid. Arvada Police warn of vehicle linked to several property thefts "I think even though he's the middle child, he kind of acts like the oldest in a lot of ways because he had to grow up fast," Dylan said.

Hero saves runaway stroller from traffic

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 20:20:45 GMT

(CNN) – A terrifying scene involving an out-of-control stroller turned into a hectic moment for a good Samaritan. The scene unfolded at a carwash nestled along a busy Southern California roadway. Surveillance video shows a woman fall and lose control of a baby in a stroller. She struggles to get up as the winds push the stroller to the busy road. That’s when Ron Nessman went from a complete stranger, to a hero. “I didn’t have time to even think about it. You just react,” Nessman said. Nessman rushed over and caught the runaway stroller just before it entered the bustling roadway. He returned the stroller to the woman who was waiting to hug her sudden, speedy savior. “I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I did nothing. I’m just glad I realized it and was on it,” he said.

Kokuban

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 20:20:45 GMT

Rue Belliard, 180What’s good? If you’re looking for a taste of Kyoto in Brussels, this is a good place to start. Kokuban delivers relatively authentic Japanese flavors and choices: The Tonkotsu ramen contains a warming pork broth with a fragrant, rich taste; cold soba, which is perfect for summer; signature gyudon rice covered with a thin layer of nicely marinated beef; tuna salad and the like. (Just don’t expect sushi dishes — they’re not on the menu here.) And don’t miss the ice-cream trio if you have extra appetite for dessert.What’s not? You can’t make reservations for groups smaller than six here — which means you’d better arrive before 12:30 p.m. to grab a table if you’re here for an important meeting. Service could be better during lunch hours, and seating can become overcrowded. In terms of food, there are complaints on other review pages about the sheer amount of noodles in a ramen bowl — a fair assessment but, to be fair, it would’ve been the same cas...

Harvest

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 20:20:45 GMT

Pl. du Samedi, 14What’s good: As a climate reporter at POLITICO, I was charmed by the idea of a restaurant adjusting its menu to the season and making a point to use local produce and ingredients, and couldn’t wait to check out Harvest. Our meal began with a freshly baked baguette, butter (we’re still in Belgium after all) and a mix of vegetables. The starter was a delicate glazed aubergine served with smoked eels, coulis of watercress, citrus jelly and squash seeds. My non-veggie dining partner loved their Iberico pork secreto main course, which came blended with a white wine sauce, young potatoes, grilled zucchini, shallots pickles and kumquat.The dessert — a revisited Opera cake accompanied by generous diplomatic cream and covered in hazelnut pralines, pomegranate jelly and chocolate ganache — will linger in your dreams for days. Food aside, the care demonstrated by the waitress in describing the food and concept made for an extra treat. What’s not: I wasn’t convince...

Mi Tango

Rue de Spa, 31What’s good? Mi Tango offers great steaks and wine right from Argentina, a hotbed of carnivorous cuisine. Mi Tango serves Latin America’s finest, from empanadas to original meat dishes like Lomo or Chorizo served with sides of vegetables, salad and hand-cut potatoes, to dulce de leche topped desserts. It’s a rare find in this town, where Latin American cuisine seems to be mainly represented by Mexican food, according to our Argentinian waitress Agustina Lopez. The burger is a special treat, containing delicious smoky meat and sauce. For those looking for a low-carb option, there are a variety of salads on the menu and the spinach tortellini with truffle cream is a delicious option for veggies, given that Argentina is known for the cultural influence of its large Italian community. What’s not? If you are looking for empanadas that leave you with juice dripping down your arms you might be disappointed. These were a touch dry. Vibe: The small restaura...
