Kyle Wilder authoring greatest comeback yet

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:08:29 GMT

On a late September afternoon, Chelmsford senior Kyle Wilder asked a question no 17-year old should ever have to utter.“Am I going to die?”Now nearly two months later Kyle is at home with a semblance of peace, using the same qualities that built him into a varsity quarterback to overcome a life-altering two weeks and find hope in his future.“Always believe and never give up,” Kyle said. “I always believed and I never gave up and I am here today smiling.”Kyle was always the quarterback of Chelmsford’s future. A commensurate role model for his teammates, Kyle is defined not by bravado or flamboyance but rather a calm, kind-spirited nature filled with internal resilience. His first varsity pass as a freshman late in the season was a touchdown. In his sophomore and junior campaigns the team went 8-3 and last year hosted a state tournament game. Yet his senior year never made it past week three.On Friday Sept. 22, Kyle made a rare appearance on d...

Turn Thanksgiving leftovers into a knockout meal

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:08:29 GMT

Let’s admit that Thanksgiving Day leftovers, though familiar and comforting, are boring. But with the roasting, toasting and simmering already done, they make a blank canvas for the adventuresome cook.Leftover turkey is perfect in a hearty soup or stew, whether or not you simmer up your own stock. Take turkey pho, the gingery Asian noodle soup. It’s quick and light, a slurpable warming meal in a bowl (see recipe).My grandmother’s traditional stuffing is so fussy, I repurpose every crumb — top it with fried or scrambled eggs for brunch or turn it into a savory bread pudding. It inspired the mushroom croquettes (see recipe).Mashed potatoes, spiked with chopped jalapeño and topped with Cheddar, make a lush potato gratin. Add them to soups and stews to give them body or use them to top turkey and vegetable shepherd’s pies.Curried sweet potato bisque dispatches what’s left of the candied side dish. Just whir those sweet potatoes with coconut milk and your fa...

Kerrigan: Biden’s IP waiver disaster for small businesses

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:08:29 GMT

The Biden administration is considering giving away ground-breaking American technologies to China, India, and other countries — yes, for free. This giveaway would ravage the small businesses that drive innovation in the United States, and crush the economy in the process.The give-a-away would waive aspects of the World Trade Organization’s (WTO’s) Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, or TRIPS Agreement, which sets global shared standards for intellectual property (IP) protection. Last year, with the Biden administration’s blessing, the WTO waived certain commitments in the TRIPS Agreement for COVID vaccines. Not a single shot can be attributed to that action. Now, the Biden administration may double down on failed policy, and potentially expand the waiver to COVID therapies and tests.An expanded IP waiver would have disastrous consequences for the life sciences sector, and by extension small businesses. Nine out of 10 U.S. phar...
