Free Press journalists nationally recognized for child-care investigation
Their investigative series on Manitoba's child-care system has earned two Free Press journalists top honours. Reporters Jeff Hamilton and Katrina Clarke received national recognition at the Canadian Association of Journalists awards this weekend, taking home this year's McGillivray Award for investigative journalism as well as gold in the written news category. They were chosen as winners by a panel of current and former journalists out of a record number of entries — 540 — from news publications and broadcast stations across the country for work produced in 2024. 'The McGillivray jury concluded that Hamilton and Clarke's exposé of the many cracks in Manitoba's child-care system bore all the hallmarks of excellent investigative work — it brought clarity to complex subjects and used vivid personal examples to convey systemic flaws,' the Canadian Association of Journalists stated in a news release Sunday. Clarke and Hamilton worked on the six-part series for months. It highlighted opportunities for change at the provincial level to make Manitoba's child-care system more accessible, transparent and safe. Wednesdays A weekly look towards a post-pandemic future. 'The Free Press greatly appreciates the national recognition for Jeff and Katrina's journalism and our commitment to investigative reporting,' Free Press Editor Paul Samyn said.

Dell execs sound alarm with consumer comments
Jeff Clarke was feeling the love. Clarke, vice chairman and chief operating officer of Dell Technologies (DELL) , was giving analysts the rundown on the tech company's first-quarter report. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter The report included a backlog of orders for confirmed artificial intelligence systems valued at $14.4 billion. "We love where the backlog is," Clarke said during the Round Rock, Texas, computer maker's earnings call. "It's healthy." He said Dell was off to a good start "but we have much in front of us." Related: Veteran trader makes bold move with Palantir, Rocket Lab and SoFi "The customer deployments that we have in front of us are large, they're complex, they have very detailed scheduled deliveries," Clarke said. "There's lots of dependencies on this. We've talked about this business being lumpy and nonlinear." While AI momentum remained strong, he said, "given the scale of these opportunities, variability and timing and choices around technology, the inherent nonlinear nature of demand and associated shipments is likely to persist." Bloomberg/Getty Images Dell's fiscal-first-quarter earnings missed Wall Street expectations, but the revenue number beat estimates and the forecast for the current quarter was stronger than Wall Street expected. Clarke told analysts that Dell executed very well in the quarter, "achieving growth across our core markets." Demand for AI-optimized servers was "exceptionally strong," he said.

"We had over $12 billion in AI orders this quarter alone, which will drive significant revenue growth and EPS," he said. Still, Clarke said "the consumer market remains challenged." "Consumer revenue declined 19% and the industry pricing remained competitive," he said. Yvonne McGill, Dell's chief financial officer, said the company was expecting "subseasonal performance in traditional server and storage, our larger profit pools that provide scale, as customers evaluate their IT [spending] for the year given the dynamic [macroeconomic] environment." "We saw strong performance across small and medium business and large enterprise," she said. "In consumer, the demand environment remains soft and profitability remains challenged." McGill said Dell was focused on executing within the Client Solutions Group to capture the Microsoft (MSFT) Windows PC refresh. Clarke said that while the PC refresh remains behind prior cycles, "we are seeing indicators that the installed base is upgrading to new Windows 11 PCs, many of them AI PCs." Dell is one of AI-chip maker Nvidia's (NVDA) primary vendors, and the U.S. Department of Energy said its Doudna computer, due in 2026, will use technology from the two tech companies. The computer, named for the Nobel Prize-winning scientist Jennifer Doudna, who made key Crispr gene-editing discoveries, will be housed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, Calif., Reuters reported. Dell shares are down nearly 35% from a year ago and off 3.4% this year. Several investment firms issued research reports after the company reported its results. Bank of America Securities raised its price target on Dell to $155 from $150 and affirmed a buy rating on the shares. Earnings came in at the low end of guidance due to modest tariff impacts to margins at Client Solutions and slightly weaker growth from Intelligent Security Systems, the company's video-management and -analytics software solutions, the investment firm said. Related: Nvidia CEO turns heads with stern warning about China AI market At "the highest level," B of A said Dell could deliver significantly higher AI server revenue over the next two years of greater than $30 billion with strong upside to EPS with momentum in AI servers picking up. JP Morgan raised its target on Dell to $125 from $111 and maintained an overweight rating, according to The Fly. AI-server demand and orders in Q1 as well as greater than typical deployment expectations for Q2 "were the bright spot in an otherwise subdued outlook," JP Morgan wrote. Dell's traditional Enterprise demand drivers are softer and driving incremental caution into the back half of the year, the firm said. TD Cowen analyst Krish Sankar boosted the firm's price target on Dell Technologies to $125 from $120 and reiterated a hold rating. He called the $12 billon of April-quarter AI-server orders and expected July-quarter AI shipments of roughly $7 billion key positives. The macroeconomic environment might present a modest headwind for traditional server and consumer demand while tariffs and commodity costs are inflationary factors.

Home sweet homer: Athletics rookie Denzel Clarke's 1st major league HR comes in his native Toronto
Published May 31, 2025 • 1 minute read Oakland Athletics' Denzel Clarke, a native of Toronto, takes an at-bat against the Blue Jays during the seventh inning at the Rogers Centre on May 29, 2025 in Toronto. Photo by MARK BLINCH / GETTY IMAGES This weekend is turning into quite a homecoming for Denzel Clarke. The Athletics' 25-year-old rookie hit his first major-league home run Saturday, going deep at Rogers Centre in his hometown of Toronto. Clarke told reporters last week he expected 150-200 friends and family to attend the four-game series, and he's given them plenty to cheer so far. After going 1-for-19 with 15 strikeouts over his first six games as a big-leaguer, he singled twice and recorded his first major-league RBI in an 11-7 loss Friday night. He also made a flashy defensive play when he leapt at the centre field wall to rob Alejandro Kirk of a home run in the fourth inning.

Clarke hammered Fisher's first pitch 406 feet into the left-field seats for a 5-4 lead. Clarke, the cousin of Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Josh Naylor and Cleveland Guardians catcher Bo Naylor, played college baseball at Cal State Northridge and was a fourth-round draft pick of the Athletics in 2021. He was playing at triple-A Las Vegas when he was called up to the majors on May 23. RECOMMENDED VIDEO Toronto & GTA Crime Columnists Ontario Columnists

'Missed opportunities' to prevent baby's death
A baby boy "almost certainly would not have died when he did" if his rare heart condition had been diagnosed, an inquest has found. Archie Squire suffered heart failure just days after his first birthday and died in November 2023 after more than 10 visits to the Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother (QEQM) Hospital in Margate. Sarah Clarke, area coroner for North East Kent, concluded that there was "no doubt" that an earlier diagnosis of a congenital heart defect would have "altered the outcome" of his care. Tracey Fletcher, chief executive of East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust (EKH) said it was "truly sorry that we did not identify Archie's condition earlier". Ms Clarke also echoed a report by East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust, which highlighted "missed opportunities" that could have prevented his death. Delivering her conclusion, Ms Clarke recorded Archie's cause of death as heart failure and congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA). Ms Clarke added: "There is no doubt that earlier recognition and diagnosis of Archie's underlying heart condition would have altered the outcome. "I am not saying what that outcome would have been. He almost certainly would not have died when he did." New and more robust systems had been put in place by the trust since Archie's death, Ms Clarke added. Speaking directly to Archie's family, Ms Clarke praised them as an "absolute credit to each other". Follow BBC Kent on Facebook, on X, and on Instagram.
