#NHLPeachy #Gr8Chase @NHL #NHLStats Where to Watch Alex Ovechkin's "Gr8 Chase" for the NHL All-Time Goals Record


 As Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin competes in his 20th NHL season, he continues “THE GR8 CHASE” toward a once unimaginable feat: breaking Wayne Gretzky’s record for the most goals in League history. Ovechkin netted career goal No. 890 on Sunday and sits four goals behind Gretzky (894), and five goals shy of breaking the all-time goals record. The National Hockey League reminds fans where to watch upcoming Washington Capitals games.


* In the U.S., national Capitals games are available on ABC, ESPN, TNT and truTV. Out-of-market fans also can watch most games on ESPN+ with a subscription.

* In Canada, national Capitals games are available on Sportsnet and TVA Sports. Prime Members also can tune in to “NHL Coast to Coast” on Thursdays to witness every Ovechkin moment as it happens.

ESPN and TNT Sports will also separately produce and present OviCast, an alternate presentation for all remaining ESPN-produced and TNT-produced regular season Capitals games. Each OviCast will feature an isolated camera on Ovechkin in addition to Ovi’s record-breaking stats and information, alongside the traditional game feed.

Ovechkin scored his 37th goal of the season on Sunday – tied for the sixth most in the NHL. He has a goals-per-game rate of 0.65 this season, which puts him on pace to pass Gretzky and complete The Gr8 Chase against the Islanders at UBS Arena on April 15 (8 p.m. ET on ESPN). Ovechkin’s career average of 0.60 also has him tracking to break the record on the last day of the regular season at Pittsburgh on April 17 (7 p.m. ET on ESPN and SN).

While creating a legacy on the ice, Ovechkin also is dedicated to leaving a lasting impact on childhood cancer research. From March 5, 2025, through the remainder of his career, Ovechkin will personally donate to pediatric cancer research for each goal he scores and his donations will be matched by Monumental Sports & Entertainment!

Its neutral undertones deepen under low lighting, amplifying the warmth of firepits, string lights and evening glow to create an intimate, peaceful escape.

“Homeowners are embracing the notion of ‘slow living’ and seeking outdoor experiences that allow them to savor life’s small moments,” Kim explained. “Burnt Hickory’s rich, natural tone fosters serene, quality-focused spaces that invite a slower pace and deeper connection with nature.”

Susan G. Komen® Urges Swift Passage of Reintroduced SCREENS for Cancer Act Share

Legislation to Ensure Access to Life Saving Breast Cancer Care

Susan G. Komen®, the world’s leading breast cancer organization, today commended members of the U.S. House and Senate for reintroducing the Screening for Communities to Receive Early and Equitable Needed Services (SCREENS) for Cancer Act. The legislation is led by Representatives Joe Morelle (D-NY-25) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA-01).

The SCREENS for Cancer Act reauthorizes a critical program – the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) – that helps women across the country with low incomes who do not have adequate insurance gain access to timely breast and cervical cancer screening, diagnostic, and treatment services.

“Access to timely, high-quality screening and diagnostic services is critical for saving lives, yet far too many people—especially those without adequate insurance—face delays or are unable to access this essential care,” said Molly Guthrie, VP of Policy & Advocacy at Susan G. Komen. “The SCREENS for Cancer Act would help enable earlier detection of breast cancer when treatment options are more effective, and the prognosis is better. Komen is grateful for the leadership of Congressmen Morelle and Fitzpatrick on this legislation and urges Congress to pass it quickly.”

"Cancer has touched my family in the most personal way, and I know firsthand the fear and uncertainty that comes with a diagnosis,” said Rep. Morelle. “Far too many people—especially those in underserved communities—face barriers to lifesaving screenings that could catch cancer early and save lives. I’m proud to introduce the bipartisan SCREENS for Cancer Act with Rep. Fitzpatrick, which will expand access to breast and cervical cancer screenings, ensuring that more people get the care they need. Early detection saves lives, and no one should go without screenings because of their income or insurance status."

Since its founding in 1991, NBCCEDP-funded programs have served more than 6.4 million individuals across the country and provided more than 16.5 million breast and cervical cancer screening examinations, resulting in the diagnosis of nearly 80,000 invasive breast cancers. The program also provides public education, outreach, patient navigation and care coordination to increase breast and cervical cancer screening rates and reach underserved, vulnerable populations.

“Every year, too many lives are lost because cancer is detected too late. By modernizing and expanding the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program, we are taking a step forward in removing barriers that prevent too many women—especially those in underserved communities—from getting the screenings that could save their lives. As Co-Chair of the House Cancer Caucus, I remain committed to advancing bipartisan solutions that put prevention and access at the forefront, and I thank Rep. Morelle for his partnership in this critical initiative,” said Rep. Fitzpatrick.

This bill had widespread, bipartisan support in the 118th Congress and passed key committees in both the Senate and House of Representatives. Susan G. Komen urges the 119th Congress to pass the SCREENS for Cancer Act without delay. Immediate action is critical to make meaningful progress in the fight against breast cancer and to ensure that all Americans have access to the screenings they need for early, life-saving intervention.

Connecticut Children’s and Xerox Partner to Introduce New, Innovative, AI-driven Technologies to Pediatric Healthcare

Connecticut Children’s and Xerox are reimagining pediatric healthcare with the help of cutting-edge artificial intelligence. Through an expanded partnership with Xerox, the health system is introducing AI-powered solutions to streamline care delivery and elevate patient outcomes.

From enabling emergency department nurses to prepare more effectively for procedures to using predictive analytics to reduce heart-related risks in pediatric cancer patients, AI is already transforming how Connecticut Children’s delivers care to its patients.

“Embracing advanced AI technologies allows us to give our caregivers the most precious resource of all—more time with their patients,” said Bob Duncan, Chief Operating Officer at Connecticut Children’s. “By adopting these innovative tools thoughtfully and strategically, Connecticut Children’s is reimagining pediatric healthcare, ensuring that the children and families of Connecticut and the region have access to a health system that is embracing technological advancements.”

Xerox, a long-standing partner of Connecticut Children’s, is developing AI-driven solutions for three key areas:Emergency Department Efficiency: AI-enabled recommendations will assist nurses by analyzing data from similar cases to suggest the necessary supplies and medications for common emergency cases and procedures. This technology will save time and ensure resources are even more quickly available to patients, families and physicians.
Cardiotoxicity Risk Prediction in Pediatric Oncology: Leveraging Connecticut Children’s research on the link between cardiotoxicity and pediatric cancer treatments, AI tools will allow providers to more quickly identify at-risk patients early and take preventative actions, improving long-term outcomes for young patients.
Census Forecasting: Connecticut Children’s will now leverage Xerox’s AI-driven predictive analytics to enhance census forecasting, enabling more accurate patient volume predictions, optimized resource allocation, cost efficiency, and improved patient care.

This partnership also includes Xerox becoming the sole print technology provider for Connecticut Children’s new clinical tower, opening late 2025, and expanding its role as a strategic IT services partner.

“Xerox is proud to collaborate with Connecticut Children’s to bring AI-powered solutions to life in ways that transform healthcare,” said Steve Bandrowczak, chief executive officer at Xerox. “Our work together not only enhances operational efficiency but also supports better decision-making and patient outcomes. This partnership represents a new frontier in healthcare innovation.”

As Connecticut Children’s continues to advance its vision of transforming children’s health and well-being as one team, its collaboration with Xerox exemplifies how forward-thinking partnerships and technology can create meaningful change.

"By integrating AI into our everyday processes, we’re empowering our teams to work smarter, not harder,” added Duncan. “This milestone is a testament to our shared commitment to innovation, compassion, and creating a healthier future for all children.”

#PeachysPicksQueens #ThePizzaFactory #LongIslandCity A Peachy's Pick Since 2023 Spring 2025 by Chef and Owner #EdinRedzic #DinoRedzic #ErnisBerisa and #MikeyPerez Not Only Still the First But Also the ONLY Peachy's Pick Ever in Queens

The Pizza Factory may be casual but the caliber of the Fettuccine Alfredo with Shrimp is all white tablecloth with pinkies out with the talents of Chef Edin
Owner Edin Redzic of The Pizza Factory, the First Restaurant Ever in an Outer Borough to Earn a Peachy's Pick designation
 
It's not who you know it's WHOM YOU KNOW and we knew Mover and Shaker Mayor Ed Koch!
Everyone knows his bridge, and it is the bridge to pizza in our humble opinion.  We are pretty sure he is reading upstairs and hope he joined us in spirit for this pizza.
It should speak volumes to you when Peachy raves about something outside of Manhattan because that means she actually had to leave Manhattan which has nearly everything except a beach to get there.  The Pizza Factory has pizza that is so tremendously delicious it is better than a lot of Manhattan places we've tried and better than ALL the Manhattan places we have tried and not published on.  Chef Edin Redzic does not rest upon the success of his awesome Dad Dino: he has earned it independently and everyone knows Peachy is a tough cookie.  Dino has never been to The Pizza Factory during Peachy's visits.
We always try a whole cheese pizza and this continues to thrive with the chewy, delicious crust, tantalizing sauce and inviting cheesy goodness.  This tells you the building block to all the fabulous pizzas is just the beginning.
We are very into vegetables on pizza year round but especially during Fridays in Lent.
Ricotta comes to the party in this pizza Peachy designed (but obviously did not make-she ordered) and mushrooms, spinach, tomato, onions and garlic combined for a symphony of spectacular flavor in perfect proportion.
We do not edit pictures.
The pizza is truly this gorgeous.
Don't hate it because it's beautiful.
Eat it.
Mademoiselle Peachy loves Croque Monsieur which is a way to say ham and cheese en francais mes amis.  To that end, the Ham Calzone is a culinary triumph at The Pizza Factory and it is so much fun to break apart the fresh dough and cannonball into the marinara which is an ideal companion.  It is superior to the run of the mill marinara and you want to make sure you have enough for all your little piggies (you know, the ham).  Edin may be young but he is a lot smarter than many twice his age evidenced by the brilliant item of Grilled Organic Vegetables.  This is a great addition to any pizza place menu and is robust with flavor highlighting the natural goodness of squash, carrots, cauliflower, green and red bell peppers and broccoli.   Yes you can eat pizza and be healthy. We write for the reader who wants it all.
Peachy is a devoted follower of Fettuccine Alfredo usually with Chicken.
Well we are eating fish more during lent and it is even better with Shrimp at The Pizza Factory, which as we have alluded to goes far beyond the pizza.  It's al dente exactly right and the flavoring of the sauce is pure divinity.
Everyone knows we are big on salads and from the House Salad above with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and onions to a custom salad you can design - Peachy picked broccoli, grape tomatoes and red onion- The Pizza Factory has all of your nutritional boxes checked and they listen and put the dressing on the side for Ms. Uberpicky.
And sometimes anything boys can do, girls can do better!  Assistant Manager and Cashier Danijela was a super help.
Also there are multiple fruit choices to go with your pizza and we opted for melon which was cut up FRESH.  Some places we can taste do this way before they put it out but not here: it is SUPER FRESH.
And a peachy hue too:
Whom You Know continues to Highly Recommend The Pizza Factory in Long Island City, Queens!
