Ukraine awaits US missile system after latest Russian strike

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:52:23 GMT

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The death toll from Russian missile strikes on eastern Ukraine’s city of Sloviansk rose to 11 Saturday as rescue crews tried to reach people trapped in the rubble of an apartment building, Ukrainian authorities said.Ukraine’s air force said the country would soon have weapons with which to try to prevent attacks like the one Friday. The delivery of the Patriot air defense system promised by the U.S. was expected in Ukraine sometime after Easter, Ukrainian air force spokesperson Yuriy Ihnat said.The primarily Orthodox Christian country is preparing to observe Easter on Sunday. Speaking Saturday on Ukrainian state TV, Ihnat declined to give a precise timeline for the arrival of the defensive missile system but said the public would know “as soon as the first Russian aircraft is shot down.”A group of 65 Ukrainian soldiers completed their training at Oklahoma’s Fort Still Army Post last month and returned to Europe to learn more...

Still Boston Strong: Sister of bombing survivor running to support center for trauma patients

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:52:23 GMT

As Danielle Reny Larrow neared the Boston Marathon finish line in 2013, she heard the first bomb go off.“I had a feeling something might have happened to my family because I knew where they were planning on standing, which was close to where I’d seen the first explosion,” she said.Then the second bomb went off right where her sister, Gillian, her parents, her grandmother and her then-boyfriend – now husband – were standing.“My thoughts shifted immediately to my family because I knew where they were standing,” Reny Larrow said. “I was very, very scared for them.”They were all injured in the blast before being rushed to the hospital. Her sister Gillian had suffered the worst. However, it would be hours before Reny Larrow heard from her family.“Ultimately connected with my mother, who told me that my sister had been very gravely injured and was on the way to the operating room to help try to salvage her legs,” Reny Larrow said.Gillian spent several weeks at Brigham and Women’s Hospital...

Mike Lupica: Knicks are really good but still a star player away from being a title threat

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:52:23 GMT

The last time the Knicks were even close to big ideas at this time of year was 10 years ago next month, when Carmelo Anthony went down the baseline and tried to throw down a dunk against the Pacers in Game 6 in Indianapolis. The Knicks were playing for their season that night, down three games to two, but trying to get themselves a chance at a Game 7 at the Garden. And a chance to play the Eastern Conference finals against LeBron and the Heat, against whom they had won three of four games that year.Carmelo was the leading man the Knicks needed that season, until he wasn’t, meeting Roy Hibbert at the rim.The Knicks had won 54 games that year under Mike Woodson, one of the most under-appreciated coaches in the history of the franchise even if the genius Phil Jackson didn’t see things that way later. Carmelo was No. 3 in the MVP voting, J.R. Smith, bless his heart, was Sixth Man of the Year, and Jason Kidd had the ball.There were a lot of role players you don’t rememb...

Dave Hyde: Heat and Panthers go into playoffs armed with slingshots against No. 1 seeds

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:52:23 GMT

Everyone else on the Miami Heat should pick up Jimmy Butler and Max Strus and carry them into Milwaukee for giving them a chance to re-write the conclusion to this season and, with it, their own personal standing in it.After the Heat’s play-in win Friday night set up Sunday’s Game 1 in Milwaukee against the Bucks, the talk around the Heat began with Butler’s big-game impact and ended with Strus’s big night. They were something. They were everything, actually.Nobody talked about Bam Adebayo’s shrinking offense against taller players.Nobody talked how Tyler Herro was oddly content to work the fringes of the game.Nobody talked about the lack of a bench or how no one’s untouchable anymore on this team, as Heat president Pat Riley surely knows for whenever this cold offseason comes. And it’s coming, isn’t it?Butler and Strus each scored 31 points Friday, each had game-tilting moments in the closing minutes as the Heat staved off what would ...

US dollar scarcity threatens Bolivia’s ‘economic miracle’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:52:23 GMT

LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) — Sofia Andrade, a lawyer, chose over the past month to withdraw all her dollar savings from the bank as the US currency became scarce on the streets of Bolivia. “I prefer to have them at home,” she said. “I fear they won’t let me withdraw them later.”Like her, many Bolivians are withdrawing their dollar deposits or rushing to buy the US currency amid increased concern about Bolivia’s economic fragility, a marked change for a country that for more than a decade experienced what many called an “economic miracle” amid strong growth, record exports, low inflation, a fixed exchange rate and subsidized gasoline.The scarcity of the greenback, which opposition politicians attribute to the Central Bank running out of hard currency reserves and the government blames on speculation, means that for the first time since 2011, a parallel market for the U.S. dollar has emerged that charges slightly more than the official price. When the shortage began earlier this year, hundr...
