the flow of NFL news slows down just enough on a Saturday morning to allow us to catch up on some of the things we may have missed From Shedeur Sanders to Jeff Ulbrich to the aftermath of the draft to unresolved issues between teams and current players to everything else that has been going on interesting tidbits have taken a nosedive into the cracks as it relates to a story that has been simmering for a while before blowing up in the aftermath of Bill Belichick’s recent book-tour interview with CBS As more and more non-sports media outlets have focused on the question of whether and to what extent Belichick has allowed a personal relationship to commandeer his professional exploits here’s something that was reported by Page Six of the New York Post Remember the Dunkin’ commercial that debuted during the Super Bowl standing next to him while behind Ben and Casey Affleck Jordon Hudson “forced her way in but Bill saw it as a way for her to get paid,” the Post reports “People said they’ve never seen anything like it.” It meshes with an earlier report from Pablo Torre of Meadowlark Media who said Hudson used her influence as his “de facto agent” to leverage an appearance in the commercial The story from the Post meshes with other chatter than had been churning on the grapevine for weeks Hudson reportedly “demanded” to be listed as an executive producer for the now-scrapped Hard Knocks series featuring North Carolina football she wanted to review the “dailies” of the show as it was being recorded She reportedly told the NFL Films executives to “treat her with respect or they wouldn’t get to use [Belichick’s] IP.” It all contributed directly to NFL Films’ pivot from the deal being essentially done on a Friday to being over and done by the following Monday The decision to abandon the project prevented North Carolina football from enjoying the exposure that would come from being featured in the HBO series Which is a prime example of why this story has staying power By not just blurring but obliterating the lines between a personal relationship and a professional relationship Belichick’s uncharacteristic actions (in comparison to a half-century of coaching in the NFL) are impacting the entire North Carolina program that publicity seems to be helping (at most) one and only one person A Division of NBCUniversal DISCLAIMER: This site and the products offered are

time She was enchanted by the centuries-old wood plank floors had once been the altar for a wedding between a renowned environmentalist—who grew up in the house—and his bride The attic ladder had long ago surrendered its rungs to stacks of pored-over books in a delightful display of literary dishevelment curated by the environmentalist’s mother an antiques dealer and the late matriarch of a family rooted in the house for more than 70 years to streamline—and safeguard—the heritage estate we had to remind the contractor that preserving the farmhouse’s character was important,” says Larson of the old moldings and well-trodden wood planks that were spared in the two-year renovation he couldn’t figure out where the entrance was—a stone path didn’t lead to the formal front entry framed in Greek Revival trim typical of old Hudson Valley farmhouses The original living room fireplace from 1815 served as the altar when a renowned environmentalist—who grew up in the house—was married here Though it’s not the oldest hearth in the home (the dining room fireplace was built in the 1790s) it remains a meaningful symbol of continuity anchoring family gatherings past and present Restoring a clear sense of arrival—long muddled by too many doors and confusing paths—was a priority along with untangling awkward architectural flow resulting from a vortex of bathrooms and relocating the kitchen to frame sweeping views of the meadows and Catskills beyond Other additions—like a sunroom and rear porch—also capture this bucolic idyll And the library’s fathomless blue-black is an inky neutral with gravitas befitting the literary pursuits of the resident author and the writers she hosts for farmhouse retreats A hallway in blueprints but a library in spirit its book-lined walls home to leather-bound volumes left by the former owner A custom desk at the threshold of the living room also serves the library “I like finding clever ways to make things work,” says the designer a custom console in the dining room can expand to accommodate larger gatherings and the Frem Røjle Roundette table placed in a tight corner of the living room seems to seamlessly—and space-savingly—absorb its matching chairs Such gradual reveals also speak to Chused’s skillful layering of textures and patterns across different cultures and eras A custom living room sofa is upholstered in durable yellow corduroy apropos of life on a farm; sunroom pillows in an indigenous Filipino textile nod to the homeowner’s heritage; and in a secret powder room hidden behind a swiveling bookshelf straight out of an Agatha Christie plot twist mustard-striped Temple Studio wallpaper is the backdrop for the former homeowner’s Federalist-style mirror patriotically topped with an eagle figurine By incorporating select pieces left behind by the previous family Chused’s design feels collected but not cobwebby Another beloved holdover—a star-shaped light—was according to the late matriarch’s granddaughter casting just enough glow for tiptoeing through the hallway in the wee hours Architect Doug Larson reestablished the formal front entrance restoring symmetry and flow to the Greek Revival–trimmed façade Originally built in the 1790s and expanded over centuries the house now balances historic character with clarity a newly built red barn adds flexible living space The other side of the primary bath features a custom black steel vanity that offers a bit of edge to offset the room’s farmhouse charm. Stacked Scallop mirrors by Richard Haining This powder room—hidden behind a swiveling bookshelf—is wrapped in mustard-striped wallpaper from Temple Studio. The vintage mirror was left by the previous homeowners.

Farewell Hudson's Bay - America's oldest company files for bankruptcy after 355 years in business Hudson’s Bay is about to disappear. We’re sorry to start the article in such a blunt way but that’s the reality: the oldest company in North America (founded in 1670) is about to close its doors forever And this isn’t just a business story it’s the closing of a chapter in the history of our continent but time and technology have wiped out everything you once knew they’ve noticed the market was changing they’re on the verge of declaring bankruptcy and even though they only own six stores (with all that they once were…) a judge has given them a deadline until early May if they don’t want to be forced to liquidate the company completely It all started back in 1650 with two French explorers Pierre-Esprit Radisson and Médard de Chouart who in the 17th century arrived loaded with valuable furs from Hudson Bay And there the Hudson’s Bay Company was born They didn’t just trade in furs: they administered territories that today are part of Canada through so-called company-states whose main goal was to conquer land in order to set up trade HBC operated as an almost colonial monopoly a court ruling opened the door to competition the British government paid them 300,000 pounds to recover those lands and the company was forced to reinvent itself It left the fur business behind and focused on retail Hudson’s Bay managed to stay strong after that transformation HBC became a symbol of modern consumerism and the new Canadian middle class and with it everything we know: online shopping and other platforms that bring everything to your door with just one click closed their stores in Europe and the United States the situation became so unsustainable that only six stores survived and the loss of its territorial empire… is about to fall due to something as cold as the lack of attention from the digital consumer The internet didn’t just change how we shop: it also changed who survives in this market HBC hasn’t been the only one to suffer the change in consumer habits. Many brands that defined an era ended up falling for not adapting in time. The story of Hudson’s Bay reminds us that no legacy, no matter how long, guarantees the future. Constant innovation is the only thing that keeps you going Hudson’s Bay will go down in history as yet another business legend One that began with explorers and unfinished maps… and ended defeated by a browser window… Lower Hudson Valley residents are in for more rain May 5, with possible isolated thunderstorms throughout the week, the National Weather Service says bringing at least 1 to 2 inches of rain to the area High temperatures are expected near 61 degrees and wind gusts could reach up to 25 miles per hour throughout the day lohud in our schools: New Rochelle elementary school students explore science in outdoor class Temperatures are expected to dip near 56 degrees Wind gusts between 10 and 25 miles per hour could also cause downed power lines and tree debris another 1 to 2 inches of rain could accumulate after 11 p.m The National Weather Service says evening commuters could also see patchy fog conditions after 8 p.m According to a risk map issued by the NWS Monday areas of the Lower Hudson Valley could face an elevated risk of excessive rainfall into Tuesday morning such rainfall could lead to scattered flash floods "Most vulnerable are urban areas, roads, small streams, and washes," the NWS said Monday morning Patchy fog is expected to linger Tuesday morning and could persist throughout the day High temperatures Tuesday could reach near 64 degrees more showers and a chance of thunderstorms is likely before 2 a.m Low temperatures could drop to around 56 degrees Showers are expected to continue Wednesday until the afternoon making way for a dry and partly sunny Thursday until showers resume Thursday evening Hudson Westbrook is a rising country music artist who has already seen quick success in his career He tells RFD-TV’s Digital Team that he is learning how to be present Watch his full exclusive interview here All Rights Reserved.

Do Not Sell My Personal Information one particular store comes to embody the place in which it is set Hudson Home looks like a curated collection of beautiful home furnishings and décor But scratch beneath the tastefully gilded surface Hudson Home represents the culmination of a lifetime devoted to interior design and a dedication to supporting the regional design community Hudson Home was founded by Richard Bodin and Greg Feller in 2005 Feller was (and still is) an interior designer with an affinity for architectural history; Bodin had spent most of his career managing complex marketing initiatives for financial services firms The pair’s blend of talents and skills proved to be just the cocktail that Hudson—and its growing community of artists and discerning home buyers who have flocked to the region in the 20 years since the now-iconic store first opened—were thirsty for Not only is Hudson Home a store at which you can shop a carefully curated collection of home goods—it’s also an interior design trade showroom meaning other designers who’ve made their home north of NYC can stop by to browse and order from a wide selection of furniture And stop by they do: Hudson Home regularly welcomes designers from throughout the Northeast who don’t want to travel all the way to Manhattan to find high-quality products “We’ve been able to bring in design resources that previously couldn’t be found in the area,” Feller says “We’re pleased to make those same resources available to other designers so they can enjoy what the area has to offer and still have access to a broad range of top design brands close to home We feel uniquely qualified to serve other designers because we are designers and we work hard to make doing business easier for them.” the “Hudson” half of the name is equally as important as the “Home” half There are still no chain or mass retailers on Warren Street There is just such a creative force here with a substantial appreciation for history and uniqueness.” Feller and Bodin are stretching their wings creatively as well as geographically working with clients and designers in Albany They’re also using their silver anniversary as an excuse to refresh their brand identity and website If you haven’t been in a while—or ever—it may be time for a visit we’ve been doing more full-scale renovations and more multi-generational projects,” says Feller the creative force behind the brand’s interior design branch We love our clients and feel very much a part of their families.” Stories you've missed since your last login: Recommended stories based on your interests: It was 45 years ago I attended a charity reception at a West City Park B&B which has passed through several owners since At the time there was a circa 1900 map of Colorado’s Front Range mounted on the staircase wall “Denver Water Board Dam Site” on the South Platte I marveled Denver’s ruling leaders had been looking so far ahead to meet future demand It would be another decade before the Two Forks damsite rose to public attention Sometime during the first part of the 20th century the water board began to lease fishing camp homesites to Denver’s blueblood families most of the town of Deckers is located on land originally acquired for this reservoir Visiting the Castle Marne B & B several years ago the map had vanished or been moved elsewhere The boom or bust character of Denver’s urban growth had finally caught up with supply which had been augmented by Lake Dillon in Summit County and its trans-mountain diversion from the Blue River It was time to consider a major expansion of storage at the south end of the metroplex The politics of Colorado water had long been controlled by the rule it could be forced to flow uphill toward money an increasingly potent environmental lobby emerged to resist runaway suburban sprawl joining Mountain Bell to cope with the 40,000 homes that couldn’t order telephones as housing outstripped the company’s switching capacity A joke circulating then accused the newcomers of suffering from "Last Man Syndrome" demanding put up the fence and keep any more immigrants out!” Stay up to speed: Sign up for daily opinion in your inbox Monday-Friday Neither lengthy waits for dial tone nor the threat of water rationing deterred this onslaught of young families an "environmental roundtable" led the charge to prevent the Two Forks dam and reservoir They were quietly aided by those Denver Bluebloods many members of the Wigwam Club near Deckers The secluded cabins along one of the few gold medal trout fisheries in North America had been in their families so long they had forgotten the properties were leased they were rooting for adverse possession over decades In an irony that will become apparent shortly the environmental roundtable advocated for the expansion of the Gross Reservoir in Boulder County as a preferred alternative Bush Environmental Protection Agency killed the Two Forks proposal it wasn’t entirely clear whether its veto was exercised on the basis of scientific findings or rumored lobbying pressure from the wealth property owners/lessees who had so generously donated to the president’s 1988 campaign Then Colorado Senator Tim Wirth brokered an agreement to construct the far smaller Strontia Springs dam and reservoir on the South Platte just upstream from the Chatfield flood control reservoir as a holding basin for a pre-treatment Denver water supply The Hayman and Buffalo Creek fires in the early 2000s funneled charred debris into this containment requiring an initial dredging and another soon to come The Denver Water Board began to consider raising the Gross Reservoir Dam as a north side holding facility with its application to the Army Corps of Engineers submitted in 2002 The need for additional storage became acute following alternating floods and extended droughts in the basin The permitting process and subsequent lawsuits launched by many of the same environmental groups that supported just such a project 20 years earlier dragged on until 2022 Since the Gross Reservoir also produces hydroelectric power which will be substantially expanded as part of the proposed dam expansion the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) finally ordered the water board to commence construction in 2022 All state and federal permits had been approved This did not prevent a lingering legal squabble advanced by a handful of litigation predators who claim the Corps of Engineers failed to consider every conceivable option They never requested an injunction to stop construction as the water board spent $314 million dollars to complete nearly 70% of the project Federal Court Judge Christine Arguello found in their favor and halted work late last year A hearing is scheduled later this week (May 6) to determine how or whether to proceed The water board believes they should  be allowed to complete the construction as a matter of public safety The plaintiffs extracted a $100 million settlement from the Northern Integrated Supply Project (NISP) which will retain water from the Poudre for Fort Collins Greeley and other northern Colorado municipalities There’s little doubt they covet another bonanza extracted from Denver Water lending a whole new meaning to "greenmailing." As the Gazette newspapers editorialized this is a group that is good at what they do — throwing sand into the gears of government and any additional mitigation expenditures required by the court will not be paid by some anonymous water board They will be paid by you and I and our fellow ratepayers There has to be some obligation to restore rationality to our permitting processes Several recent books tackle the issue of “Why Nothing Works” by Marc Dunkleman and notably “Abundance” by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson There are only so many regulatory hurdles projects should have to clear and once cleared the courts should ratify those decisions What possible expertise could Judge Arguello have to determine whether the new Gross Dam can safely be left partially finished I once joked the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) has become the employer of last resort for the college graduate children of the middle class Their search for error can prove never ending The Golden Gate Bridge and the Empire State Building were completed in less than two years a century ago New York City is now five years into its effort to site public toilets Colorado is more than 30 years into discussing a transit alternative connecting the Front Range to its mountain resorts Add another 10 years for permitting and then 10 more for construction of a guideway and those who first proposed the rapid transit link we all know is needed will have passed away without ever taking a ride Miller Hudson is a public affairs consultant and a former Colorado legislator Email notifications are only sent once a day Colorado Politics is published both in print and online Our website features subscriber-only news stories daily designed for public policy arena professionals Member subscribers also receive the weekly print edition of our award-winning newspaper containing outstanding features and news stories Secure your subscription to Colorado’s premier political news journal You can be in the know right alongside Colorado’s political insiders Your browser is out of date and potentially vulnerable to security risks.We recommend switching to one of the following browsers: Sign up for the Slatest to get the most insightful analysis if she decides her next move is starting an MLM Host Tony Dokoupil was interviewing Belichick the former longtime coach of the New England Patriots and the current coach of the University of North Carolina’s football team at which point Hudson forever altered the trajectory of her life and ours with one little phrase: “We’re not talking about this.” It was Hudson’s attempt to shut down the conversation only no one was quite sure why she felt the need to be so intense so soon CBS revealed her full outfit of an oversize Navy sweatshirt and almost flesh-colored leggings in other shots from the interview—we’ll need those for the Halloween costumes If interview chaperoning isn’t her strong suit, Hudson has plenty else on her plate anyway: Perhaps she could step back and focus on her real estate holdings or “Trouble Cub Enterprises,” the mysterious company she calls herself the CEO and founder of I sense that we’ve really only scratched the surface she’ll continue to occupy the spotlight for many years to come she is already making up for in star quality Aparne Pande appears on CNN to discuss the rising tensions between nuclear neighbors India and Pakistan Subscribe to Hudson’s newsletters to stay up to date with our latest content See more subscription options is set to feature condos and a luxury hotel when it opens in 2027 Hudson’s Detroit broke ground in 2017 at the former site of the historic J.L known for its high-end athletic and athleisurewear and accessories is expected to open its downtown location this summer Its only other Michigan location is at Somerset Collection Mall in Troy [READ MORE: Alo Yoga takes ‘sanctuary’ at Mall of America] "Detroit is brimming with purpose and Alo's dedication to wellness and community complements the city's vibrancy and growth,” said Naumann Idrees Bedrock’s senior VP of leasing in a statement on LinkedIn “As the inaugural retail tenant at Hudson's Detroit we welcome Alo and embrace this as a significant moment for the city."

Fast forward to the next day after seeing the spongy moth caterpillars I noticed that I had a few marks on my skin that looked like “bites” I thought to myself that I was somewhat nice to these invasive pests and they still marked themselves on me It’s possible that these pests don’t actually bite but their hairs can cause irritations to people if touched It’s been about a week now and I still have their “love bites” markings on my skin but they appear to be going away I also saw posts from Hudson Valley residents sharing pictures of them in Facebook groups and where they are located I used to think that stink bugs were annoying but as for this summer I’ll take them over these spongy moth caterpillars Besides telling the spongy moth caterpillars to go away and how they’re not welcomed here Hudson Valley residents wrapped their trees with burlap bands and others used sprays that would help reduce these pests while also protecting the area. I wanted to share my experience with you especially if you’re dining out in the Hudson Valley and notice these tiny caterpillars at your table.  I’m looking forward to outdoor dining at some of our favorite places The warm weather also brings us the return of outdoor concerts reopening of hiking trails and locally owned ice cream stands Ladybugs and butterflies are more than welcome to come around and hang out Let’s all enjoy the start of spring and celebrate that brighter days have finally arrived in the Hudson Valley What furry friends or insects are you looking forward to seeing in the Hudson Valley Gallery Credit: Allison Kay, WRRV's Facebook Page, Gallery Credit: Allison Kay Now that spring has sprung within the Hudson Valley, we’ve been noticing the return of our furry friends and certain insects.\nRead More 101.5 WPDH shared that information describing these invasive pests 2025 3:53 PM EDTBill Belichick just wants to talk football but the rest of the world is talking about his 49-year a source close to his adult children is weighing in The University of North Carolina football coach is father to daughter Amanda, 41, and sons Stephen, 38, and Brian, 37, whom he shares with ex-wife, Debby Clarke Belichick. Fans have heard from Stephen's wife Jennifer Schmitt, who criticized Hudson for not acting professional during Belichick's CBS Sunday Morning interview "Publicists act in a professional manner and don’t 'storm' off set delaying an interview," Schmitt wrote in response to comedian Nikki Glaser's comment on the Instagram post for Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman's Dudes on Dudes podcast Bill Belichick and Jordan Hudson attend Michael Rubin's 2025 Fanatics Super Bowl Party at The Sugar Mill on February 08 Mike Coppola/Getty Images Now, an insider is telling People what the NCAA coach's kids think "His children want the best for their dad but like most family members they hope this is a good choice for him," the source claimed They also confirmed that the romance is "real" and not some PR ploy as Hudson is somewhat of an old soul "She is the kind of person who has a plan and is diligent about sticking to it," the insider praised the former cheerleader for having Belichick's best interests at heart "She is young but mature beyond her years.” A Page Six source has greater concerns about Belichick's "brand" in the wake of backlash “It’s amateur hour and it’s showing,” the insider alleged “They don’t know what they are doing and trying to control everything He’s handed off the ball to her.” There may be some help on the horizon though as Belichick is reportedly looking for outside PR help to tamp down the negative headlines, per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.

disorder of things You might think—as the earth rots with the weight of humans on this precarious ball teasing a self-induced armageddon an American dismantling of democracy—that life’s natural tendency is toward entropy But when I look at the patterns of nature, the spirals of Fibonacci number sequences that form as if by elegant magic in every pinecone and round of petals and from the micro of snail shells to the macro swirl of galaxies if possibly more conceptual and comfortable the older I get the more inclined I am to love organization and prefer each item paired with its own designated container Rather than organically winging it which seems to me like a recipe for disaster nothing pleases me more than a well-arranged spreadsheet and a checklist getting reduced Is there a balance or a preference between assembly and destruction Is there any room for fitted bedsheets in the secret code of all things I remember so distinctly the time in my childhood when they was still the question if the universe was open or closed expanding or collapsing—and yes these were the topics of our dinner conversations fueled by shows like Nova and my dad’s subscription to Scientific

importance How small in the scheme of things were my brother and I we were rendered ever tinier: the universe is indeed expanding and not only that but the expansion is accelerating In the same way it feels as if our technological leaps are surpassing us at an ever-quickening pace and will other elements we can’t fathom (dark matter/energy) and the powerful suck of gravity pull the messy universe back into some discernible shape someday I was curious if for every entropy in nature there is an equal opposite ectropy could that be the counterpoint of the ebb and flow of this circle of cycles For a term that can barely be found in science there is at least some “art” on the matter of ectropy Director Jordan Schulz’s short film (20 min), Ectropy: Chaos to Order a member of the Timeless Presence species who struggles to see his potential the Artist faces existential challenges and immense pressures as they paint the fabric of nature and shown here in the trailer This Ectropy film starring the “Artist” is no standalone but just the first of a trilogy that proceeds to creation and ends in entropy, from PRWeb.com which calls it a “cinematic masterpiece” but admittedly is just quoting the movie’s own press release: “Ectropy” is an exploration of the universe’s explosive genesis drawing inspiration from The Big Bang Theory The narrative unfolds as the enigmatic “Artist,” tasked with shaping the cosmos encounters Mother Nature in the mystical days of the universe’s infancy they embark on a profound journey of self-discovery and creativity highlighting the interplay between creation and Creator [Artist Daniel] Winn’s philosophy of “Existential Surrealism” profoundly shapes the thematic essence of the film the approach examines life’s fundamental questions and the nature of existence itself the award-winning short film entitled “Creation,” which serves as the second installment The trilogy is slated to conclude with “Entropy from Order to Chaos,” expected to go into production in 2025 which will depict the inevitable decline back into chaos and complete the cycle of cosmic existence Despite what feels here like purple prose in a woo woo English essay Among praise for “cosmic symphony,” “cinematic brilliance,” and “maestro of visual storytelling…that surpasses conventional storytelling methods,” the writers describe a unique multi-sensory weave of images of the work of Darren Aronofsky in The Fountain and its tree of creamy regenerative life From 37Magazine Winn’s philosophy uses visual language to explore the concept of duality emphasizing that the absence of opposing factors would render our existence meaningless painting and film that delves into the profound questions about the meaning of life and the intricacies of human existence His art is known for its deep philosophical underpinnings that weaves in deep concepts of existentialism All of this artistry seems to exhibit the artist attempting control of controllable No matter the premise of the movie ultimately moving toward chaos the artifice of the enterprise of conveying that theme prevails documenting the chaos in an attempt to fathom it and making pretty treatises about it in images Ectropy is a fairly new concept and there’s very little of it to be found, at least on the Internet. According to a tiny bit of research posted at the Georgia Institute of Technology: The word “ectropy” means a general increase in organization It appears to have been developed by Willard V Quine in response to the Twenty-first Anniversary Symposium of the Council for Unified Research and Education in 1969 The above quotation appears on page 83 of the following source: That book is an expansion of the aforementioned 1969 symposium The term “ectropy” is used in several places in the book and is contrasted not only with “entropy” but also with the coined term “atropy,” which is used to describe circumstances in which the degree of organization remains constant Entropy seems to be the basket that science puts its eggs or in, or more specifically physics. Rather than a mix of ectropy (order), atropy (stasis), and entropy (disorder), they calibrate the spectrum between organization and disorder as just more or less entropy. From FS Blog: This tendency towards disorder is a fundamental law of physics Here’s the kicker: Disorder is not a mistake; it is the default Your house doesn’t clean itself—it takes energy and effort to maintain order In The Great Mental Models The constant battle against entropy is the driving force behind much of what we do The constant struggle between order and disorder is the source of change and progress.” Entropy was conceived much sooner than its counterpart ectropy by Rudolf Clausius Clausius studied the conversion of heat into work He recognized that heat from a body at a high temperature would flow to one at a lower temperature This is how your coffee cools down the longer it’s left out—the heat from the coffee flows into the room But if you want to heat cold water to make the coffee you need to do work—you need a power source to heat the water From this idea comes Clausius’s statement of the second law of thermodynamics: “Heat does not pass from a body at low temperature to one at high temperature without an accompanying change elsewhere.” Clausius summarized the concept of entropy in simple terms: “The energy of the universe is constant The entropy of the universe tends to a maximum.” not according to the positive march of our increasing wisdom and experience but by the dismal accrual of our unraveling: The increase of disorder or entropy is what distinguishes the past from the future That according to our contemporary geniuses like Hawking the tendency naturally is only ever toward increasing disorder to find the meaning of life amidst this mess and meaninglessness to impose order where maybe there isn’t any to use this energy to impose some semblance of good To invent concepts like “good” and “beauty” Disorder is not a mistake; it is our default Imagine a world with no entropy—everything stays the way we leave it that would also be a world without innovation When people talk about eternal life in heaven In The Information: A History, a Theory, a Flood and put our rooms in order… We propagate structure (not just we humans but we who are alive) We disturb the tendency toward equilibrium It would be absurd to attempt a thermodynamic accounting for such processes but it is not absurd to say we are reducing entropy Bit by bit … Not only do living things lessen the disorder in their environments; they are in themselves circulatory systems and metabolic pathways—miracles of pattern and structure It sometimes seems as if curbing entropy is our quixotic purpose in the universe Where do you fall on the spectrum between organized and disorganized along with religion’s “heaven” and a romantic comedy’s absurd ability for every bow to be tied ectropy itself might fall in the basket of endearing human inventions designed to simply soothe us on this dizzying ride to oblivion and website in this browser for the next time I comment © 2025.

However, it seems that having a (reportedly) pushy young girlfriend isn’t that bad for business. The Art of Winning is currently No. 1 in Amazon’s “Sports Biographies” category, and No. 6 in the more general “Sports” category, behind five different works of sports smut (four hockey Even if Belichick had hired the greatest publicist of all time By submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice and to receive email correspondence from us Password must be at least 8 characters and contain: you’ll receive occasional updates and offers from New York The coach has gone from the football field to the gossip pages with his May to December relationship It’s an extraordinary turnaround in his career Football has never known a control freak like Bill Belichick the Nixonian figure who ran the New England Patriots as if their facility was a CIA black site But four months into Belichick’s new coaching tenure there is a stunning lack of clarity about who’s actually in charge That’s not to say that Belichick didn’t have anything to recommend him for UNC win a record six Super Bowls as Patriots head coach But so far the most discussed figure in the program isn’t a player Hudson isn’t some trailblazing football careerist she’s slated to compete in the Miss Maine USA pageant later this month alongside the competition’s first transgender entrant – a political football this story is nowhere near ready for.) As the coach tells it the romance started on a 2021 flight from Boston to Miami with Belichick (then 69 years old) striking up a conversation with Hudson (20 at the time) as she was reading a book called Deductive Logic for an undergraduate philosophy class “Thanks for giving me a course on logic!” Belichick gushed in an autograph inside the book “Safe travels!” (Who knew the coach was a fan of exclamation points!) But even as Hudson emerged as a prominent figure in Belichick’s professional life it didn’t seem as if she would interfere with Belichick’s mission to make UNC a football power This article includes content hosted on embed.bsky.app We ask for your permission before anything is loaded as the provider may be using cookies and other technologies Typically when May-December relationships become gossip fodder the scrutiny falls hardest on the older party Even though Tom Brady and other former Pats have been publicly supportive of the coach’s new girlfriend there’s still reason to believe Belichick is the passenger in this relationship viewers were shocked to see Belichick appear on camera in a tattered Navy sweatshirt – which was taken less by internet critics as an extension of the coach’s well-known dishevelled dress sense than evidence of spousal neglect (Also: was the Tar Heels team shop closed?) demanding to be copied on email correspondence to steer strategy even though she is not employed by the university Hudson is said to have advised UNC’s social media team to promote the accomplishments of defensive coordinator Stephen Belichick instead of stating what many believe – that he got to where he is because he’s Bill’s son Hudson is even mentioned in the acknowledgements for Belichick’s book while Kraft – the owner he won six titles with – was left out Stephen’s wife called Hudson’s conduct in the CBS interview “unprofessional”.) Belichick even lets Hudson on the field for football practices which he has historically kept off-limits to outsiders What’s more, you can’t help wondering if he is indeed making this scene as a pretext to get out of his Tar Heels deal and leave them hanging just as he did the New York Jets (In an effort to prevent history repeating the Tar Heels included a $10m buyout clause in his contract.) Only this much is clear: Belichick has already proven to be a far bigger headache than Mack Brown – the 72-year-old former national championship winner who was thought to be too old and dull to remain in the job They say it’s never too late to start over in life But Belichick’s college try has already become exactly the all-consuming off-field distraction that he once so famously disdained Maybe the threat of Hudson taking over is why NFL teams ultimately passed Belichick over At the very least it’s the kind of concern the old Bill would’ve red-flagged if it had come up with a player on his radar When Belichick was in his New England heyday you would’ve been hard pressed to find much information about the day-to-day status of his team we didn’t really meet Belichick’s kids until they started working for him.) All of which is to say: he’s the last coach you’d expect to suddenly lose control over the narrative Belichick’s inability to separate the personal from the professional when it comes to his relationship with Hudson doesn’t just bode ill for the North Carolina program It’s a sign that Belichick may in fact be losing his grip Hudson looks for all the world to be the one calling the shots but its not the end for Hudson Valley Falafel Falafel is a popular Middle Eastern street food consisting of fried balls or patties made from ground chickpeas and sometimes fava beans. They are typically served in pita bread with a variety of toppings like tahini sauce I remember going to Hudson Valley Falafel at 260 North Rd Poughkeepsie, back when it was called Falafel Town even when they changed the name to Hudson Valley Falafel a couple of years ago Their diverse menu has always featured vegan and vegetarian options and Falafel have always been a hit with customers I always enjoyed the atmosphere as well in the cozy little restaurant Hudson Valley Falafel took to social media over the weekend to announce that Sunday evening would be the last night that they would be open in the restaurant They thanked customers for the best memories laughs and support but assuring that it is not the end for Hudson Valley Falafel we will still be catering and you will still be able to order through DoorDash / GrubHub & uber eats We will be posting all the details very soon stay tuned and join us on our new journey Restaurant may have closed, but its not the end for Hudson Valley Falafel.\nRead More Hudson has amassed an $8 million real-estate portfolio since she began dating the 73-year-old football coach And people say that the age of the girlboss is over Though the Daily Mail was first to the story, it was fleshed out by some enterprising reporters at realtor.com, who were more than ready to jump on the biggest celebrity real-estate news since Bennifer selling their mansion Hudson purchased three multifamily homes in the Boston area in December 2023 she reportedly bought two Dorchester townhouses on December 1 one for $2.2 million and another $2.3 million The first home has a four-bedroom apartment currently available to rent for $5,000 says that it has a “condo quality white shaker cabinet kitchen with white quartz counters stainless appliances with a large island.” There are also “hardwood floors throughout except in the fully tiled bathrooms.” Realtor.com also speculated that Hudson had spent some time renovating the apartment pointing to a line in the listing that references the “beautiful” updates that have been made to the unit Hudson purchased a $3 million multifamily home in Boston’s rapidly gentrifying Roxbury Crossing neighborhood with 15 bedrooms and 8.5 bathrooms spread across three apartments a description noted that the building was “generating a rental income of $17,675 a month.” On the paperwork for these three properties Hudson reportedly listed her address as a two-bedroom cottage in Harwich a home she bought for $610,000 in October 2023 the mortgages for all four of her properties were paid off within a week of each other in January of this year By submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice and to receive email correspondence from us.

"Old men can now date far younger women. We like that. It’s hot!" joked James Austin Johnson as Donald Trump Saturday Night Live/YouTube; Kevin Mazur/Getty 10:30 am UTC • 6 minFresh off her viral CBS Sunday Morning cameo On Tuesday, the 24-year-old girlfriend (and evident media consigliere) of North Carolina head football coach Bill Belichick posted a screenshot of an email her beau sent earlier this month to several people in his inner circle Hudson made a promise that a “full statement” would be released later in the day The email seemed at least loosely related to the CBS interview debacle—because it was about Belichick’s gripes with the tone of the media coverage of his forthcoming book The Art of Winning: Lessons From My Life in Football That book had been the subject of his interview … until Hudson’s interjection during a question about the beginning of their relationship drew the focus elsewhere It might be time to wonder whether Hudson is the adept PR mind she’s positioning herself as none of this book promo tour makes any sense Perhaps the statement Hudson has promised to release or the video she seemingly teased in the second slide of her Instagram post with what looked like a still from a surreptitiously recorded conversation but the only reason I can think of for why Hudson would share Belichick’s email now is that it will help explain why they were so upset during that incredibly awkward interview Belichick’s main concern seems to be making sure that his book is framed by the media covering its release as a respectable how-to guide for those looking to succeed in any leadership field He seems to kind of think it’s a business book He name-checks billionaire hedge funder Ray Dalio and author Suzy Welch and cites the growth of the Patriots’ franchise value during his time as head coach as a career accomplishment before bringing up his six Super Bowl titles A Dozen Questions About Bill Belichick’s Relationship With Jordon Hudson The email recipients are Hudson; “David”; “Jofie,” who could possibly be Simon & Schuster vice president Jofie Ferrari-Adler; “Michael”; the literary agent Richard Pine; and Berj Najarian Belichick’s longtime right-hand man during his Patriots tenure who is currently the chief of staff for Boston College football Najarian’s inclusion on the thread caught my eye given that his old role under Belichick was essentially the one Hudson and the person you have to go through to get access to Bill it looks like some of these people are in his inner circle but all of them are involved in the promotion of the book So is Hudson’s point in posting the email that she’s trying to dictate what sort of coverage Belichick and the book get in the future and that the reason for her outburst at CBS was that interviewer Tony Dokoupil had strayed from questions about football and leadership ArchiveWe’ve been around since Brady was a QB So many questions and so many attempted answers Let’s survey the relationship that has dominated the headlines this week Hudson was born in Hancock, Maine, a speck on the map of 2,500 people best known as the home of Wild Ray’s “Chainsaw Sawyer Artist Live Show.” She has said on social media that she hails from several generations of fishermen “As the daughter of displaced fishermen, I care to use my voice to protect the fleeting tradition and heritage of Maine fishing families, to prevent others from going through the same plight as what mine had to go through,” Hudson wrote on Instagram, where she has nearly 100,000 followers. Sports Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots have parted ways after a 24-year tenure during which he led the franchise to six Super Bowl wins in nine appearances After graduating, Hudson was employed for a year as social media ambassador for the clothing company Rebel Athletic She said she met Belichick in 2021 and they began dating two years later The interview proceeds with a shot showing Hudson seated at a desk in front of a monitor a few feet from Belichick and Dokoupil. “You have Jordon right over there, everybody in the world seems to be following this relationship,” Dokoupil said, with the camera locked on Hudson seated off the set. “How did you guys meet?” Hollywood Inc. 30 interview with the “CBS Mornings” co-host led to a rare rebuke during an editorial meeting “We’re not talking about this,” Hudson loudly blurts out before Belichick can respond It was one of several instances where Hudson interrupted the interview The incident was unexpected — shocking, even — because for at least two decades, Belichick was the master of stonewalling reporters steering interviews and giving snarky responses to questions he didn’t appreciate Does he suddenly require someone to come to his rescue or did that particular question touch a nerve with Hudson Dokoupil: “I have to ask about Robert Kraft … 24 years together, six Super Bowls. Unless I’m wrong, he’s not in this book. How come?” Belichick: “He’s not. Well, again, it’s about my life lessons in football, and it’s really more about the ones I experienced directly.” Dokoupil: “He’s not even in the acknowledgment section.” Patriots owner Robert Kraft and coach Bill Belichick express their gratitude Dokoupil: “Do you feel like you were treated with dignity and respect when you were let go by Robert Kraft?” it was a mutual decision for us to part ways.” “I don’t think this is fantastic, but it probably will hype the book, which is clearly the ongoing theme here,” Belichick’s email starts. “This is about what I expected from the media. “We went through how important it was for me to put ‘I f— up’ in the book, and of course, that is the feature of this article — which is mostly about admitting mistakes and talking about a Super Bowl mistake. I am fine with putting mistakes in the book, but I am certainly not surprised that of 260+ pages, that is what they would highlight. “I have, at times reluctantly, gone along with the title, cover, and language in the book. I am not going to be the conductor of a hype train in the book promotion — we have enough hype to work with. I hope we can get on the same page in promoting the book authentically.” NFL: Bill Belichick loosens up on girlfriend’s Twitter account Belichick later Wednesday released a statement through North Carolina saying the CBS interview was “selectively edited” and suggested a “false narrative.” He also said that he “clearly communicated” with his publicist at Simon & Schuster that promotional interviews would focus only on the book’s contents that expectation was not honored during the interview,” Belichick said in the statement CBS later released a statement saying that the agreement was for a “wide-ranging interview.” “There were no preconditions or limitations to this conversation,” the statement read “This was confirmed repeatedly with his publisher before the interview took place and after it was completed.” Hudson and Belichick were seated next to one another on a flight from Massachusetts to Florida in February 2021. Their meeting was documented through photographs of them and of his autograph on the then-21-year-old’s “Deductive Logic” college textbook Tom Brady was a good sport during his Netflix celebrity roast but did not appreciate Jeff Ross’ joke that referenced Robert Kraft and a massage you used to talk about Foxborough High School when we sucked But now I know why you were so obsessed with Foxborough High School: You were scouting your new girlfriend.” Added Brady: “When somebody asked me which [championship] ring was my favorite my favorite is that Ring camera that caught Coach Belichick slinking out of that poor girl’s house at 6 a.m The Athletic obtained emails through an open records request that document Belichick requesting that Hudson be copied on certain correspondence at North Carolina The 44 pages of emails address his concerns about social media attacks and the optics of hiring his son Hudson is not an employee of the university “It is really worth emphasizing the point that Steve has the experience of being a COLLEGE defensive coordinator and will bring a plethora of knowledge to the coaching staff,” Hudson wrote of the former defensive coordinator at the University of Washington Hudson’s involvement included a request that staff scrub negative comments about Belichick on the football page of the university website “Is there anyone monitoring the UNC Football page for slanderous commentary and subsequently deleting it / blocking users that are harassing BB in the comments?” Hudson asked Feb Entertainment & Arts On the heels of her crushing performance during the Roast of Tom Brady at Netflix Is a Joke the comedian roasts herself in time for her new special “Someday You’ll Die” on HBO May 9 responded by shading her father-in-law’s girlfriend: “Publicists act in a professional manner and don’t ‘storm’ off set delaying an interview,” wrote Schmitt The Athletic also reported that Hudson “played an instrumental role” in stopping the production of a “Hard Knocks” docuseries on the North Carolina program this fall only a few days after an agreement had been reached In a December 2024 email to North Carolina officials Hudson identified herself as the chief operating officer of Belichick Productions although the Athletic could not find evidence of the company’s existence NFL Films was scheduled to begin filming March 1 the NFL sent an email to North Carolina’s counsel confirming that showmakers “will not proceed with the production of the Belichick project.” Hudson seemed to brace herself in December for something like this current kerfuffle writing on her Instagram Stories: “Nothing changed for us in 2024 except for ‘public knowledge’: yet I can’t wait to take punches for you in 2025 Your illusion of righteousness only fuels my authenticity.” A different view was articulated by Athletic columnist Steve Buckley, who wrote Wednesday: “If the plan here was to portray Belichick as cool, what with his social media-savvy girlfriend fending off the old-school, on-set question asker, then the plan failed. Belichick instead came across as somebody who needed saving. And it’s hard watching this interview while defending Belichick as the ever-vigilant micromanager who misses nothing. “Will this interview inspire the biggest and best recruits to take their talents to Chapel Hill? Doubt it. Will it help get Belichick back on the radar for a head coaching job in the NFL? That’s looking less likely. “There used to be a Bill Belichick ‘brand.’ Grumpy. Rumpled. Genius.

He added, "Some of the clips make it appear as though we were avoiding the question of how we met, but we have been open about the fact that Jordon and I met on a flight to Palm Beach in 2021." On the network's part, CBS said in an April 30 response There were no preconditions or limitations to this conversation The was confirmed repeatedly with his publisher before the interview took place and after it was completed." Still, Belichick and Hudson have been open about their love story in the pass. In February, Hudson celebrated their fourth "meetiversary," sharing a picture of the logic textbook that she was reading and Belichick autographed during their first meeting "Thanks for giving me a course on logic," Belichick—who was married to Debby Clarke from 1977 to 2006—signed on the inner cover of the book Belichick also denied speculation that the former college cheerleader was "attempting to control the conversation," saying that the claim is "simply not true." "The final eight-minute segment does not reflect the productive 35-minute conversation we had," he added of his interview with Dokoupil "which covered a wide range of topics related to my career." Belichick's statement echoed an email Hudson re-posted on her Instagram April 29 in which the football icon appeared to emphasis to his publicity team the need to "get on the same page in promoting the book authentically." "I am not going to be a conductor of a hype train in the book promotion," he wrote in the email "we have enough hype to work with." While he and Hudson are keeping tight lips read on for celebs who have been open about the age gaps in their relationships "That's really the only time when age seems to be shoved in my face and I have to give an answer for it I don't really think about it that much otherwise."And Heidi—who married Tom the following year—made it clear she's going to continue living life on her terms."You have to just live a happy life without worrying too much about what people think," the supermodel continued "because worrying is only going to give you more wrinkles."  "I find it really amazing when you flip it and the guy is older no one cares and actually people like it." Sam Taylor-Johnson & Aaron Taylor-Johnson And it comes up on the outside perspective of people who don’t know us because I guess people will always...We’re a bit of an anomaly but it’s that thing: After 14 years you just think surely by now it doesn’t really matter?”Sam even pointed out her relationship with Aaron has lasted longer than her marriage to her ex-husband Jay Jopling who is about four years older than she is."So if you think of it in that way," she continued "then the age gap doesn’t really make any difference.” Michael Douglas & Catherine Zeta-Jones it wouldn’t be normal if there weren’t any ups and downs "We've never related to someone in my life better than we do And we just couldn't be happier." 'This older man wants some young bimbo with no opinions whatsoever And then that younger woman is obviously a gold digger and she obviously doesn't even care and is just like OK I hope you die and I'm gonna take all your money.'"However she's since had a change of heart."Now that I'm in that relationship and people will say those things about me regularly Why was I so judgmental about other people who are literally just finding love?'" she added "And maybe their love looks different from you but it doesn't make it not valid." "But I knew that this was an incredibly special person.” The Alfie actress and the Lift actor know not everyone understands their relationship. “I would imagine it would be complicated for anyone to get their head around," Oli put it to Vogue while referencing their 15-year age gap "but there’s been nothing but love and joy.” And frankly Sienna suggested nobody else needs to understand it.“I don’t think you can legislate on matters of the heart," she added "I certainly have never been able to." The Jurassic Park star recalled a lighthearted moment with his Olympian wife, who is 30 years his junior."I said, 'Which Beatle would I be if I was one of the Beatles?'" he remembered on The Hoda Show I think you're thinking of that.'"However Jeff noted it didn't take Emilie long to realize she meant George Harrison "So there's that kind of thing," he noted of the couple's age gap But other than their differing cultural touchpoints life together is "so far so good." Rosie Huntington-Whiteley & Jason Statham The model also doesn't feel the need to deliver a fast and furious response to any critics of her 20-year age gap with the actor."His knowledge and strength are really inspiring and attractive, and that can come with a man who's had a bit of time," she told Glamour in 2013 "We have a connection that has nothing to do with age but if you have someone at home who thinks you're the greatest person in the world As for how the American Idol alum feels about any judgment towards her nearly 35-year age gap with the composer? Probably so over it."I totally get the judgment initially, but things are never as they appear," Katharine said on Dr. Berlin's Informed Pregnancy Podcast in 2023 "And I'm in love with our love story and that's all that matters is that I'm in love with the love story." “It’s not something that I ever thought would ever happen you know I thought 30-year-olds were too young for me.” And while Kristin said she understands how “it looks to the outside world,” she insisted Mark is “not a typical 24-year-old” and that there’s more to a person than their birth year “I really think age is just a number,” she continued “It’s what you’ve been through in your life There are just so many factors that go into maturity other than age.”But months later “I just know long-term he needs to experience life,” she said on an October episode of her podcast I started to feel the age a bit just with life experience I look back when I was 24 and how much life has happened for me in between then This is when you find yourself and he needs to be able to do that.”Still she called their romance "the best relationship" of her life and expressed hope that Mark will realize their split was for the best."I know that one day he will look back and he will understand it," she added "and I actually think one day he will thank me." When the Oscar winner first started crushing on the barrister, he wasn't sure she'd feel the same way.“I liked her, but I didn’t want to jump the shark on it,” George said on The Howard Stern Show about his early romance with Amal ‘Cause I’m 17 years older than her so she might’ve thought I was grandpa.”However it turns out she liked him right back and they wed in 2014 Age is only a number for the Bachelor alum, who is 18 years older than his wife.
