Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 01:52:45 GMT

The 3M Open picked up a big commit, with international star Hideki Matsuyama committing to Minnesota’s PGA Tour stop.The Japanese standout won the Masters in 2021 and is considered one of the bigger names on the tour. He joins the likes of 2022 3M Open champion Tony Finau and Sungjae Im as premiere players committed to play at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine at the end of the month.Matsuyama is currently ranked 31st in the Official World Golf Rankings, but the 31-year-old is just 55th in the current FedEx Cup standings. Players finishing in the top 70 of the season-long standings qualify for the playoffs. Those who are in the top 50 after the first playoff event not only qualify for the BMW Championship — the second playoff event — but they also lock in their spots in next year’s lucrative elevated events.Matsuyama is likely attempting to secure his spot inside that top 50. Matsuyama played in the inaugural 3M Open, where he finished in a tie for seventh after firi...

Just in time: Blue Cross corporate and state history, literally encapsulated

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 01:52:45 GMT

Just a month before their contents would have been lost forever, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota employees stumbled upon a bit of history: two forgotten time capsules hidden in the company’s Eagan headquarters.The discovery began as facility managers were going through archives at the 442,000-square-foot building. They spotted something curious.“We discovered architectural drawings — blueprints,” said Mira LaNasa, public relations specialist at the health insurer. “They are huge booklets that take up an entire picnic table with detailed drawings of where everything is.”By chance, a manager spotted an unusual marking on one of the thousands of pages. “It indicated time capsules located at the front of the building,” LaNasa said.No one currently at the company remembered hearing about time capsules. After 50 years at the Eagan location, the company was preparing to move out of the building, forever.A manager snapped a photo of th...

As the heat wave blanketing Southern California tightens its grip, bringing triple-digit temps, many families are hitting the water to stay cool while firefighters brace for the increased risk of wildfire across the region.  At the Fontana Park Aquatic Center, families were having a blast beating the heat in the splash pad. Kyoki Nance, 10, told KTLA it was her dad’s birthday, and they came out to have some fun.  “I’m having an amazing time,” Hakeem Nance, Kyoki’s dad, said. “I’m here with the family, no better feeling.”  Fontana Aquatic Center Coordinator Jessica Barragan said the facility offers all kinds of activities for people.  “We offer recreational swim, we offer swim lessons, junior guard camp and as of right now, we are open seven days a week,” she explained.  Outside the aquatic center, however, places like Patricia Murray Park were a ghost town during the hottest part of the day.
