By Melissa Clark, The New York Times Poaching eggs in a simmering tomato sauce is a classic path to a quick, meatless meal. Be it an oniony shakshuka or chile-flecked eggs in purgatory, the mix of tangy-sweet tomatoes swirled with runny egg yolk is a perennial crowd-pleaser, as welcome on the table for a steamy Easter brunch as it is for a cozy dinner on any chilly evening. My latest take on this saucy combination was born on one of those blustery nights, when the idea of adding warm spices such as cinnamon, cardamom and turmeric to the tomatoes struck…

By DAVE SKRETTA (AP Sports Writer) KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The future of the Royals and Chiefs in Kansas City was being shaped Tuesday as residents of Jackson County, Missouri, voted on whether to extend a sales tax to help to pay for a new downtown ballpark and major renovations to Arrowhead Stadium. In what is expected to be a close ballot measure, voters were being asked to essentially replace the existing three-eighths of a cent sales tax that has been paying for the upkeep at the Truman Sports Complex — the home of Kauffman and Arrowhead stadiums for…

Deion Sanders is no longer the only member of the Colorado football staff with a gold jacket. CU’s head coach has hired good friend and fellow Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Sapp as a graduate assistant. Sapp, a dominant defensive tackle during his playing days, was introduced to the team at a meeting on Sunday. Sapp told the team he was a “senior quality control analyst,” but CU confirmed to BuffZone on Monday that he has been hired as a graduate assistant. Sapp, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2013, is currently enrolled in graduate level…

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Colorado Avalanche’s chances of winning the Central Division took a significant hit after a dud Monday night against one of the worst teams in the NHL. Alex Nylander, who was playing for Pittsburgh’s AHL team five weeks ago, scored twice to help a depleted Blue Jackets lineup to a 4-1 victory against the Avs. Colorado began the night three points behind the Dallas Stars for the top spot in both the Central and the Western Conference and with a game in hand. But the Avalanche wasted it with a sluggish night against the last-place team in…

By DOUG FEINBERG (AP Basketball Writer) ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Caitlin Clark put up another sensational performance to carry Iowa to its second straight Final Four. The Hawkeyes’ superstar guard, whose record-breaking exploits have brought unprecedented attention to women’s basketball, made nine 3-pointers and finished with 41 points and 12 assists as Iowa knocked defending national champion LSU out of the NCAA Tournament with a 94-87 victory on Monday night. “It’s amazing to be back in the Final Four.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Iowa’s Caitlin Clark tied a women’s NCAA Tournament record Monday night by hitting nine 3-pointers, many from well beyond the arc, in Iowa’s 94-87 win over LSU in the Elite Eight. Clark made her ninth 3 midway through the fourth quarter, tying the mark set by Purdue’s Courtney Moses in 2012 and later matched by UConn’s Kia Nurse in 2017. The Iowa star quickly broke a tie with UConn’s Diana Taurasi for career 3-pointers in March Madness with her first one. When she hit her seventh 3, Clark passed Oklahoma’s Taylor Robertson for the most in…

By LEA SKENE and TASSANEE VEJPONGSA (Associated Press) BALTIMORE (AP) — The U.S. Coast Guard has opened a temporary, alternate channel for vessels involved in clearing debris from the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, part of a phased approach to opening the main shipping channel leading to the vital port, officials said Monday. Crews are undertaking the complicated work of removing steel and concrete at the site of the bridge’s deadly collapse after a container ship lost power and crashed into a supporting column. On Sunday, dive teams surveyed parts of the bridge and checked the ship, and…

Record Store Day returns to independent outlets on Saturday, April 20. Most record stores are independent now, unless you purchase your vinyl at Target. It’s a day designated to encourage you to deplete your wallet in exchange for limited-edition rarities, but it’s been said such an activity can be therapeutic. Who am I to argue? I understand the excitement surrounding the possession of a rare object, especially if that object transports you. This year’s Record Store Day features a treasure trove of archival jazz-related releases, and a few of genuine historic significance. The following titles will also be available on…

Coach Prime promised a sequel that would be bigger and grander than the original. And when it comes to putting on a spring game at CU, he sounds ready to deliver. The Buffs announced Monday morning details for their highly-anticipated spring game at the end of April. As expected, the game is only a part of what could best be described as a festival weekend, a celebration of all things Deion Sanders, CU and Ralphie dubbed “Black and Gold Weekend.” The spring game will be held in late April — April 27, at 1 p.m. at Folsom Field — as…
