Q: At what point does Erik Spoelstra accept the fact that it was a mistake signing Kevin Love and take him out of the rotation? He has played enough games to see if he has a thing left. – Joel.Q: Ira, make it stop. Victor Oladipo doesn’t know when enough is enough. He’s Dion Waiters. If he misses his first eight, he thinks he’ll make the next eight. But he won’t. – Andy.A: I grouped these two for a reason, with the reason being that if you remove someone from the rotation, you have to replace them with someone. With Caleb Martin thriving in reserve, if you don’t start Kevin Love at power forward, then who? (And we know Erik Spoelstra isn’t going to start two big men). Haywood Highsmith? And now that you’re starting Tyler Herro, if you don’t have Victor Oladipo as your spark off the bench, then who? This has been a flawed roster from the start. And when the Heat had the flexibility to make moves at the buyout deadline, power...Anti-Trump GOP voters mostly loyal in 2022, but not entirely

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Lauren Boebert’s grip on Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District didn’t seem in question heading into last year’s midterms. But in the end, the congresswoman who gained a national reputation as a combative member of the “Make America Great Again” movement won reelection by just 564 votes. “This was supposed to be a slam dunk for the Republican candidate, the way the district is designed,” said Don Coram, a former state senator who unsuccessfully challenged Boebert in the GOP primary last June. Boebert’s near miss was emblematic of the difficulties Republicans confronted in 2022 and may face again in 2024. While former President Donald Trump holds a tight grasp on much of the GOP base, there is a notable minority of Republican voters who do not consider themselves MAGA members.Most of them, as faithful Republicans, backed GOP candidates in 2022, AP VoteCast shows. Still, the extensive national survey finds these Republicans mad...How to watch (and stream) the 2023 Oscars

NEPTUNE, N.J. (AP) — Coastal communities around the world are adding a tropical twist to shoreline protection, courtesy of the humble coconut.From the sands of the Jersey Shore to the islands of Indonesia, strands of coconut husk, known as coir, are being incorporated into shoreline protection projects.Often used in conjunction with other measures, the coconut material is seen as a cost-effective, readily available and sustainable option. This is particularly true in developing countries. But the material is also popular in wealthy nations, where it’s seen as an important part of so-called “living shorelines” that use natural elements rather than hard barriers of wood, steel or concrete.One such project is being installed along a section of eroded river bank in Neptune, New Jersey, about a mile from the ocean on the Shark River. Using a mix of a federal grant and local funds, the American Littoral Society, a coastal conservation group, is carrying out the $1.3 million project ...Oil giant Saudi Aramco makes a historic $161B profit in 2022

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Oil giant Saudi Aramco reported Sunday earning $161 billion last year, claiming the highest-ever recorded annual profit by a publicly listed company and drawing immediate criticism from activists.The monster profit by the firm, known formally as the Saudi Arabian Oil Co., came off the back of energy prices rising after Russia launched its war on Ukraine in February 2022, with sanctions limiting the sale of Moscow’s oil and natural gas in Western markets. Aramco also hopes to increase its production to take advantage of market demand as China reenters the global market after lifting its coronavirus restrictions. That could raise the billions needed to pay for Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s plans to develop futuristic cityscapes to pivot Saudi Arabia away from oil. However, those plans come despite growing international concerns over the burning of fossil fuels accelerating climate change. Meanwhile, higher energy prices already have ...In post-Roe world, college coaches search for middle ground

The conversation Cecile Landi never imagined she’d feel compelled to have with the gymnasts she coaches came abruptly last summer, shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.Landi, who competed for her native France at the 1996 Olympics before going into coaching with her husband, Laurent, gave her athletes a brief, heartfelt message: I’m here for you no matter what.“I literally will do whatever they need me to do (if they get pregnant), even if I guess it puts me in trouble,” said Landi, who coaches in Texas, a state with one of the country’s strictest abortion bans.For Landi, whose athletes have included seven-time Olympic medalist and five-time world champion Simone Biles and 2020 Olympic silver medalist Jordan Chiles, having a public conversation about such a private matter is part of her evolving role.“It’s just way more than coaching, the relation we have with the athletes, talking to them about everything,” she said.Landi’s holistic approach to her job reflec...RCMP gifts musical ride horse to King Charles ahead of upcoming coronation

STANLEY BRIDGE, P.E.I. — A week into the Prince Edward Island election campaign, there has been plenty of talk about health care and housing. But after post-tropical storm Fiona pounded the Island last fall and heightened fears about rising seas, some observers are questioning why climate change is not front and centre on the campaign trail.Scientists say tropical storms like Fiona that form in the southern Atlantic and head north to the Canadian coast are likely getting more intense as the planet warms. Phyllis Carr, whose Carr’s Oyster Bar in Stanley Bridge, P.E.I., suffered minor damage from Fiona, has seen the shoreline change over the years. To her, climate change is “definitely” one of the most important issues this election.“The amount of erosion that we have in our area is crazy, and on Prince Edward Island as a whole. And how are we going to rebuild?” she asked in an interview last week. “People who own places on the shoreline, how are th...‘Welcome to Lviv’: Ukrainian city ready for ‘brave’ Canadian tourists

LVIV, Ukraine — Two women sit at a table near the front door of a small, nondescript bar in western Ukraine. Speak the password, and they will escort you to a closet, inside which is a staircase that leads down to a stone cellar. As they descend, they’re greeted with bass music from the chic restaurant below. It’s decorated with modern art installations that represent Ukrainian independence and the Russian occupation. On the menu is elevated traditional Ukrainian cuisine. All the ingredients and beverages are sourced from within the country.The speakeasy restaurant in the thriving entertainment district of Lviv is an astonishing sight; certainly not what most people associate with a country at war. Ukrainian leaders say one of the best ways for Canadians to support the embattled country’s economy is to pack their bags and come see it for themselves. “If you’re brave, welcome to Lviv,” says mayor Andriy Sadovyi, spreading his arms wide to gesture t...Latest news
