Pope Francis Dies at 88 years old

April 21, 2025

Joshua McElwee reporting for Reuters, “He was 88, and had suffered a serious bout of double pneumonia this year, but his death came as a shock after he had been driven around St. Peter’s Square in an open-air popemobile to greet cheering crowds on Easter Sunday.”

To choose for his successor, CNN reports “Cardinals from around the world must gather for the conclave in which Francis’ successor is selected. It typically takes between two and three weeks for a pope to be chosen, though it can stretch slightly beyond that if cardinals struggle to agree on a candidate.”

Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Pope Francis is the successor of Pope Benedict XVI after he resigned on February 28 2013. Bergoglio was elected via papal conclave on 13 March. He chose Francis as his papal name in honor of Saint Francis of Assisi. Pope Francis is “the first pope from the Society of Jesus (the Jesuit Order), the first from the Americas and the Southern Hemisphere, and the first born or raised outside Europe since the 8th-century Syrian pope Gregory III.”

Pope Francis was the 266th Pope of the Catholic Church, according to the official list maintained by the Vatican in the Annuario Pontificio (Pontifical Yearbook).

Warriors steal Game 1 in Houston, Curry and Butler Combine for 56 Points (95 – 85)

April 21, 2025

The Golden State Warriors drew first blood in their Western Conference Playoffs series against the Houston Rockets, securing a hard-fought 95-85 victory in Game 1 at the Toyota Center on Sunday night. Led by stellar performances from Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler III, the seventh-seeded Warriors upset the second-seeded Rockets, seizing crucial home-court advantage in the process.

Curry, who uncharacteristically struggled in a recent regular-season loss to Houston, was back to his dazzling best. He poured in a game-high 31 points on an efficient 12-of-19 shooting, including five three-pointers, while also grabbing six rebounds. Butler, in his playoff debut for the Warriors after a mid-season trade, provided invaluable support with 25 points, seven rebounds, and six assists. Brandin Podziemski made big plays down the line and was the 3rd leading scorer for the Warriors with 14 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.

The Warriors built a commanding 23-point lead in the third quarter, and appears to be running away with the game. However, the young and resilient Rockets fought their way back, lead by Alperen Sengun, who led Houston with 26 points and nine rebounds. A floater by Amen Thompson cut the Warriors’ lead to a mere three points (76-73) with just 6:33 remaining in the game.

But just when the Toyota Center crowd sensed a potential comeback, Curry responded with a timely three-pointer, to extending the Warriors’ lead back to 82-75. Clutch plays from Curry, Butler and Podziemski in the closing minutes kept the Rockets at bay.

This victory marks the 100th career playoff win for Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who now ties Larry Brown for sixth-most playoff wins in league history.

Game 2 of the best-of-seven series will be this Wednesday night in Houston. The Houston Rockets will try to even the series before going to Golden State, while the Warriors will aim to take a commanding 2-0 lead before going back home.

Google updates Google Maps to include West Philippine Sea

April 16, 2025

Google Maps has updated its maps to make the label “West Philippine Sea” (WPS) more visible for the waters west of the Philippines. This has been praised in the Philippines as it reinforces their claim over this part of the South China Sea.

Before, the WPS label might have been harder to see. Now, it’s clearer even when zoomed out. Filipino leaders and the military see this as important recognition of their rights, especially after the 2016 international court ruling that favored the Philippines over China’s broader claims in the area.

Under Administrative Order No. 29, the Philippines officially named this area the West Philippine Sea in 2012, covering 200 miles Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in the West Philippine Sea. While China still calls it the South China Sea and disagrees with the international court’s decision, many Filipinos view Google’s update as a positive step in raising global awareness and acknowledging their sovereignty.

In a press release by the Philippines Government, Senate Majority Leader Francis ‘TOL’ Tolentino said “Growing global recognition for WPS represents a victory for all Filipinos. It is also an affirmation of the correctness of the Philippines’ current policy to assert its sovereign rights in line with international law and multilateralism.” Tolentino is the principal author of the landmark Philippine Maritime Zones Law (Republic Act 12064).

Beyond the stat sheet, Butler brought grit and hustle to the game, an aspect the Warriors were missing before they traded for him.

The Warriors were able to build a 20-point lead early in the game and appeared to be on their way to an easy win, but the Grizzlies managed to cut the lead to just 3 points by the end of the 3rd quarter, even taking a 1-point lead at the start of the 4th quarter.

Curry managed to make two consecutive three-pointers with less than 2 minutes remaining in the game. Even after a couple of turnovers by the Warriors, the Grizzlies were unable to capitalize and take the lead with less than 3 minutes to play.

The Warriors took over the game after Curry made all four of his final free throws, giving Golden State a 5-point lead to end the game.

Desmond Bane led the Grizzlies with 30 points, shooting 5 of 8 from beyond the arc, along with 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Ja Morant, who twisted his ankle early in the game, added 22 points, and Jaren Jackson Jr. also added 18 points and 6 rebounds.

The Golden State Warriors will not get their much-needed rest and will face the Houston Rockets in the 1st Round of the Western Conference Playoffs this Sunday, April 20th.
