nytimes.com/2024/04/05/nyregion/earthquake-new-york-boston-philadelphia.html
Quick Glance: Magnitude 4.8 Earthquake Rocks New York City and Northeast US
- An unusual East Coast earthquake startled millions from New York to rural New England. Over 42 million people may have felt the midmorning quake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.8.
- While causing no widespread damage, the earthquake led to evacuations in Newark, New Jersey, and infrastructure inspections across the region. Flights were diverted, trains slowed, and tunnel traffic stopped.
- Although no major damages were reported, the earthquake caused some disruptions. The area near the epicenter experienced minor effects, including the collapse of a historic site. There were also over a dozen aftershocks reported in the region.
- President Joe Biden offered assistance, while New York City reported no major safety or infrastructure issues. Engineers emphasized that New York skyscrapers are made of high-strength materials and designed to sway slowly to withstand impacts. Even the delicately placed eggs in a sculpture at a Chinatown art gallery remained unharmed during the quake.

Jrue Holiday signs contract extension with Celtics through 2028, per reports: Jrue Holiday signs contract extension with the Celtics through 2028, per reports
bostonherald.com/2024/04/10/jrue-holiday-signs-contract-extension-with-celtics-through-2028-per-reports/
Quick Glance: Celtics Extend Contract with Jrue Holiday for $135 Million over 4 Years: Sources
- The Celtics reached an agreement on Wednesday with guard Jrue Holiday for a four-year, $135 million contract extension, as confirmed by league sources. The news of the deal was initially reported by ESPN. Holiday was part of the trade last offseason where the Bucks traded him to the Celtics in exchange for players and two first-round picks. Prior to that, the Blazers acquired Holiday in a three-team deal involving player exchanges. Holiday, aged 33, boasts a two-time NBA All-Star and three-time NBA All-Defensive First Team accolades. He clinched an NBA championship with the Bucks in 2021. Throughout the 2023-24 season, Holiday is averaging 12.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game.
- Once again, the Celtics successfully negotiated a significant offseason addition into accepting a reduction in salary for an extension. Al Horford agreed to a two-year, $60 million extension following his trade to Boston in the summer, and now Holiday will forego his $37.4 million player option to kickstart an extension beginning at approximately $30 million annually. This extension provides Holiday with security well into his late 30s, while also retaining a player option post the potential salary spike from the next TV deal. Holiday promptly assumed the role of the team's defensive leader upon arriving in Boston. His adaptability and leadership in coordinating the team's defensive schemes contributed to Boston achieving the league's second-best defensive rating.
