Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:28:35 GMT

(AP) — Kellen Moore and Vic Fangio were two of the most prominent coordinators hired during the offseason. It also happens that they get to face each other in Week 1.The first test for Moore’s Los Angeles Chargers offense will come at home on Sunday against Fangio’s Miami Dolphins defense in a matchup of playoff teams from last season.“You tend to have one or two of these in a season. And certainly, this will be a huge challenge, because Vic is one of the best defensive coaches in our entire game,” said Moore, who came to the Chargers after four years directing Dallas’ offense. “There’s an element of projecting what happens at the beginning of the season because there’s a little bit of unknown.”The Chargers spent most of the offseason getting acquainted with Fangio’s system when he was Denver’s head coach from 2019-21, while the Dolphins watched video of Dallas’ offense to figure out how that will translate to Justin Herbert and company.Chargers coach Brandon Staley came into ...

Severe storm threat tonight, storm chance this weekend

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:28:35 GMT

It’s been an active afternoon. Severe storms moved through with damaging wind, hail and heavy rain through Worcester, Middlesex and Essex counties early afternoon. The threat for severe storms continues through 11 p.m. with areas shaded in pink under that threat.You can see numerous storm reports within the past 24 hours. We’ve received many of your reports and pictures from trees down and quarter size hail. We’ve had the heat this week, and a front is in the process of dislodging that heat. In doing so it fired up storms today. The front will be slow to cross our region. For that reason, the thunderstorm risk continues this weekend. We’re also watching Hurricane Lee. Right now it’s a category 4 storm. The core of Lee is expected to stay well north of Leeward Islands this weekend. Dangerous surf and rip currents are expected to develop around the Western Atlantic through early next week. It’s still too early to determine its path beyond early nex...

In U.S., Canada’s ‘game plan’ for Trump all about stepping up the tempo of talks

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:28:35 GMT

WASHINGTON — Canada’s ambassador to Washington typically doesn’t get a whole lot of notice before the president of the United States makes a decision with the potential to reverberate beyond the country’s borders. But when President Joe Biden signed a measure to better ensure U.S. companies and workers reap the lion’s share of the benefits of American research and development, Kirsten Hillman had known about it for nearly two months.“They wanted to talk about it,” Hillman said — and in particular, make clear that it would have no impact on the “hundreds and hundreds” of bilateral collaborations that routinely happen between the two countries.  “They were the ones who reached out to us, to make sure that we understood that this wasn’t about affecting the way in which those projects take place.”Discussions ensued all through June, including an “explicit assurance” that the order would not inhibit any Canadia...

UN report says the world is way off track to curb global warming, but offers ways to fix that

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:28:35 GMT

With the world far off track on its 2015 pledge to curb global warming, a new United Nations report central to upcoming climate negotiations details how quickly and deeply energy and financial systems must change to get back on a safer path.“The window of opportunity to secure a livable and sustainable future for all is rapidly closing,” Friday’s report warned. The globe has to cut its emissions of heat-trapping gases by 43% by 2030, compared to 2019 levels, and 60% by 2035, the report said. To get there, the report said, “the phase-out of unabated fossil fuels is required,” using a phrase international climate negotiators have shied away from before. It also said phasing out the internal combustion engine would be a huge help.And the way money flows — such as investments, subsidies, loans, grants and payments for people and places hurt by warming’s extreme weather — also has to change, the report recommended. It said countries need to stop $450 billion in annual subsidies for...
