Daily Item

The Sunbury Daily, established in 1872, and The Evening Item, which started in 1893, came together on July 1, 1936. The Daily Item was published five afternoons a week and was owned by the Dewart family along with local investors until April 15, 1970, when it was acquired by Ottaway Community Newspapers. Under Ottaway's ownership, the newspaper underwent modernization and improvements. In 1979, they installed new printing presses and later, in the late 1980s, added Saturday and Sunday morning editions. In 2001, the publication expanded further by purchasing The Danville News.

DALLAS — The Colorado Avalanche had a chance to take complete control of this series. That chance slipped away into the Texas night. Colin Blackwell, who didn’t play in Game 1, scored with 2:14 left in overtime of Game 2 of this Stanley Cup Playoffs first-round series to give the Dallas Stars a 4-3 victory on Monday night inside American Airlines Center. The series is now tied 1-1, with Game 3 is Wednesday night at Ball Arena. kAm“*@F H2?E E@ H:?

1 day ago | dailyitem.com | Gabrielle Starr

BOSTON — It took three hours and 14 minutes, and the Red Sox emerged victorious over the visiting Seattle Mariners 8-3 on Tuesday night. Brayan Bello didn’t exactly dominate in his season debut, but backed by an effective Red Sox defense, he made it through five innings with only one run on the board. It was the team’s seventh consecutive start of at least five innings and no more than two runs allowed. kAm%96 #65 $@I C:89E\92?56C H6?E 7:G6 :??:?8D 2?5 2==@H65 @?6 62C?65 CF? @?
State Bar of California admits it used AI to develop exam questions, triggering new furor

1 day ago | dailyitem.com | Jenny Jarvie

Nearly two months after hundreds of prospective California lawyers complained that their bar exams were plagued with technical problems and irregularities, the state's legal licensing body has caused fresh outrage by admitting that some multiple-choice questions were developed with the aid of artificial intelligence. The State Bar of California said in a news release Monday that it will ask the California Supreme Court to adjust test scores for those who took its February bar exam.
Marcus Hayes: NFL draft: Eagles trading tight end Dallas Goedert would be crazy

1 day ago | dailyitem.com | Marcus Hayes

PHILADELPHIA — As the draft approaches Thursday, I do not understand the general indifference in Philadelphia surrounding the possibility of the Eagles trading Dallas Goedert. He is an elite tight end as both a receiver and as a blocker. There should be anger. Outrage. Incredulity. For a team rebuilding, or a team without a proven quarterback, this might make sense.
Pirates announce new details on Paul Skenes bobblehead distribution

1 day ago | dailyitem.com | Justin Guerriero

Apr. 23—The Pittsburgh Pirates are still working through logistical details regarding the arrival and distribution of additional Paul Skenes bobbleheads stemming from the original promotional giveaway Saturday at PNC Park. But on Wednesday, the club reached out to fans, particularly those who scanned into PNC Park seeking one of the coveted Skenes National League Rookie of the Year bobbleheads but left empty-handed due to the initial allotment of 20,000 running out. kAm!:C2E6D 492:C>2?
SF Giants fall to 0-2 in new City Connects with blowout loss to Brewers

1 day ago | dailyitem.com | Evan Webeck

SAN FRANCISCO — The first iteration of the Giants’ City Connect uniforms weren’t an instant hit, but they won over fans by winning in them. Safe to say, the black, orange and purple “Remix” versions unveiled this season will have to survive on style alone. The Giants certainly weren’t winning any style points with their play Tuesday in an 11-3 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. kAm%96J 4@>>:EE65 2 A2:C @7 6CC@CD 2?5 2==@H65 E96 qC6H6CD E@ 32E 2C@F?5 :? 2? 6:89E\CF?

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration last year gave an extra $5 million to a network of anti-abortion crisis pregnancy clinics and asked it to run advertisements opposing a proposed abortion amendment, the group confirmed Wednesday. But the Florida Pregnancy Care Network’s board chose not to run those types of ads, the network’s executive director, Rita Gagliano, said in a statement Wednesday. kAmx?DE625[ E96 @C82?:K2E:@?

Prairie birds - including Illinois’ dapper bobolink - in steep decline, study says

1 day ago | dailyitem.com | Nara Schoenberg

CHICAGO — The dapper black and yellow bobolink likes the Chicago area so much he flies here every spring from South America — a journey of about 6,000 miles. By no means depleted, the plucky visitor goes on to dazzle the females of his species with a high-energy courtship display in which he soars over wildflower-studded fields, flapping his wings rapidly and singing a bright, burbling tune. kAmx?
