San Jose Sharks’ struggles: What are owner Plattner’s thoughts on the rebuild?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:41:02 GMT

SAN JOSE – San Jose Sharks owner Hasso Plattner keeps close tabs on the organization and was no doubt aware of how badly his team was outclassed last week in losses to the Vancouver Canucks and Pittsburgh Penguins.“Obviously, to lose the way we have lost,” Sharks general manager Mike Grier said Monday, “I’m sure it’s been alarming to him.”Grier, though, said he’s been in regular contact with Plattner and has his support as the Sharks go through an extended rebuild for one of the few times in their history. San Jose, which has a 0-10-1 record going into Tuesday’s game with the Philadelphia Flyers, has multiple needs to address and is all but assured of missing the playoffs for a fifth straight season.Plattner, a titan of the tech industry who was worth $16.2 billion, per Bloomberg, as of Monday, keeps a low profile when it comes to the Sharks and in recent years has opted to issue statements about the team through press releases rather than speak publicly.

(CNN) — Un memorando de entendimiento firmado por la primera ministra de Italia, Giorgia Meloni, y el primer ministro de Albania, Edi Rama, allana el camino para que Italia construya centros de detención de inmigrantes en Albania en la primavera de 2024, según la conferencia de prensa conjunta que ambos ofrecieron el lunes en Roma.Los centros, que se construirán en los puertos albaneses de Shengjin y Gjader, “cumplen plenamente la Unión Europea y el derecho internacional”, afirmó Meloni durante la rueda de prensa.Un centro será para el desembarco y procesamiento de inmigrantes rescatados por barcos en el mar, y el segundo albergará a inmigrantes que cumplan los requisitos para solicitar asilo en la UE. Se desconoce qué sucederá con quienes no califican, pero el gobierno de Meloni se ha centrado en la deportación inmediata como medida disuasoria. La deportación inmediata no está permitida dentro de la UE debido a los estatutos de derechos humanos que permiten a todo...

Movie Review: In David Fincher’s ‘The Killer,’ an assassin hides in plain sight

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:41:02 GMT

It’s a noir staple to open with a bit of narration, but once the nameless hit-man protagonist of David Fincher’s “The Killer” starts gabbing, he doesn’t stop.As Fincher’s assassin (Michael Fassbender) awaits his target from a high, unfinished floor in a Paris building that looks out on the home of his mark, his inner monologue runs with a smooth, affectless monotone. His musings are a mix of professional tips (“Anticipate, don’t improvise”), nihilistic existential observations (“Most people refuse to believe that the great beyond is anything more than a cold, infinite void”) and sincere self-reflections (“I’m not exceptional, I’m just apart”).That last line is the most telling one. “The Killer” is a terse, minimalist thriller in the cool, cold-hearted tradition of Jean Pierre Melville’s “Le Samouraï.” But while its methodical and solitary assassin acts and moves like cunning killers we’ve seen before, he blends into a modern background. He doesn’t wear a trench coat or fedora; he dr...
