HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – A rescued and rehabbed green sea turtle, or honu, is heading home.
The Hawaii Marine Animal Response (HMAR) is inviting the public to see a turtle release at Fort DeRussy at 10 a.m. Saturday.
The nonprofit said that it recommends arriving at around 9:30-9:45 a.m. The release will take place near the beach volleyball courts on the Diamond Head side of the beach.
HMAR said the honu, dubbed OA-195, was found with a deep fishing line entanglement around its front flipper. It was brought to the HMAR Care Center for rehab and treatment and was recently cleared to return to the ocean.
Organizers remind the public to be respectful of the turtle by giving space to the release area and HMAR staff, helping ensure a calm and smooth release to the ocean.

The Croatia men’s water polo team secured a convincing 19–13 (3–2, 2–3, 8–2, 6–5) win over Montenegro to finish fifth at the World Championships in Singapore.
Ivica Tucak’s squad defeated Montenegro for the second time at this tournament, closing out their campaign with five wins overall. Unfortunately, a single quarterfinal loss to an energetic Hungarian team meant Croatia had to settle for fifth place.
The turning point came in the third quarter. Croatia pulled away with a dominant 8–2 run, including two mini-surges of 3–0 and 5–0.
The first two quarters were tightly contested, with no team taking a real advantage. Montenegro led 6–5 at halftime. But Croatia roared back in the third, scoring three unanswered goals to go up 8–6. Montenegro briefly equalized (8–8), but two goals from Konstantin Kharkov reignited Croatia’s momentum. Luka Bukić, Marko Žuvela, and Loren Fatović capped off a decisive 5–0 run to extend the lead to a game-breaking 13–8.
Žuvela led the charge with five goals, Bukić added four on perfect shooting, and Kharkov chipped in three. Goalkeeper Marko Bijač recorded eight saves. Montenegro’s top scorer was Filip Gardašević with three goals.

Athletes' Salaries
However, pay gaps still exist when comparing the salaries of male and female sports stars. Case in point? There were no women on Forbes‘ 2025 list of top 50 highest-paid athletes. Alex Morgan—who retired from soccer in 2024 after playing her last game with the San Diego Wave—came in at No. 16 on the outlet’s […]


However, pay gaps still exist when comparing the salaries of male and female sports stars. Case in point? There were no women on Forbes‘ 2025 list of top 50 highest-paid athletes.
Alex Morgan—who retired from soccer in 2024 after playing her last game with the San Diego Wave—came in at No. 16 on the outlet’s ranking of highest-paid female athletes last year. The publication estimated the World Cup champ earned $600,000 on-field and $7 million off-field (scoring some solid endorsement deals) in 2024.
And while there have been strides to bridge the pay gap (with U.S. Soccer becoming the first federation to equalize FIFA World Cup prize money for the country’s women’s and men’s national teams), there is still a long way to go until it’s a more equitable playing field.

Should Twins be interested in Severino?
I think a great “soft sell” move would be the Twins trading 1 or 2 of Martin, Julien, Miranda to Oakland for Luis Severino. Severino is having a perceived bad year, He actually has value. His split are solid away from that minor league ballpark the As play in, with an ERA of 3.03 on […]


I think a great “soft sell” move would be the Twins trading 1 or 2 of Martin, Julien, Miranda to Oakland for Luis Severino.
Severino is having a perceived bad year, He actually has value.
His split are solid away from that minor league ballpark the As play in, with an ERA of 3.03 on the road vs. 6.68 at home. while he is not a strikeout machine, he i slimiting hitters to a .212 avg on the road vs .303 at home. Giving up .820 OPS at home but just .605 on the road.
He just signed a 3 year $67M deal this past offseason. Part of the reason for that is the league mandate that Oakland had to spend to a certain threshhold.
I am sure MLB woudl frown on them just trading to slash salaries after that mandate, but they couldnt block a deal based on “baseball sense”
So lets say Twins send 1-2 of Julien, Martin, Miranda to Oakland for Severino where Twins take on 100% of remaining salary this year, but Oakland retains 50% the next 2 years.
That would basically mean the Twins get Luis Servino on a 2 year deal (after this year at an average of $12M per). 2 years at $24M total would be a great sign as a FA signing of a pitcher of Severinos potential!!
If we get the “away” version of Severino for that money that is a STEAL!!!
Oakland is not contending this year, and most likely nto until they move to Vegas which is still not until 2028. There is ZERO need to have Severino on the roster, and he wouldn’t have been if they weren’t forced to spend.
Would Severino be better than… Paddack? Zebby? Fest? Bullpen Game? I think so!!
and next year with a rotation of Lopez, Ryan, a potentially healthy Ober, Severino, would be a great base for a new ownership group to play with.
And none of Martin, Julien, Miranda, etc will be part of the future anyways.
Build for the future without “selling” now.
