Veteran Aubameyang in vintage form and lifting Marseille back up Ligue 1 ladder

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:41:31 GMT

MARSEILLE, France (AP) — Considered past his use by date, former Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has recaptured his best form and lifted Gennaro Gattuso’s resurgent Marseille back into the French league race.Aubameyang was whistled at by Marseille fans last month when they were losing patience during a lackluster goalless draw at home. Since then, the 34-year-old Gabon striker has been scoring for fun and silenced his critics with spectacular goals.He had seven goals in four games in all competitions before Marseille’s Europa League game against Brighton late Thursday.That impressive form has driven the Mediterranean club up to sixth place in the Ligue 1, nine points behind second-placed Nice. Paris Saint-Germain has a four-point lead at the top going into this weekend’s round.Marseille is unbeaten in its last four matches, including three consecutive wins. Marseille hosts Clermont on Sunday at Stade Velodrome. PSG is at Lille, and Nice visits Le Havre.Gattuso was a ...

CAIR-Florida urges DOE probe into firing, student expulsion amid free speech debate

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:41:31 GMT

The Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Florida) is demanding a U.S. Department of Education (DOE) investigation into the dismissal of Dr. Maha Almasri, a tutor, and the expulsion of her 10th-grade son. Pine Crest School took these actions after critical social media posts by the tutor regarding Israel’s actions in Gaza.CAIR-Florida emphasizes the need for a thorough DOE investigation into what they consider unjust actions by Pine Crest School. According to CAIR-Florida attorney Omar Saleh, the issue transcends religion. “This is not a Muslim issue, it is a constitutional issue when a school administration takes retaliatory measures against an innocent student because his mother made non-violent, non-disruptive comments on her social media platform that criticized atrocities against innocent civilians in Gaza. Pine Crest administration unfortunately can’t stand to hear it because it ‘makes others uncomfortable’,” he said in a press re...

Cold Is One & Done

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:41:31 GMT

A bit of chill is in the air this morning as temps start off in the 20s with wind chills in the teens. Overall, it’ll be a chilly day, although with a lot of sunshine, it’s an easy cold day to handle. With highs in the mid to upper 30s, we’ll run a few degrees below average for the time of year. A warm front slides through without much in the way of clouds/precip overnight, shifting the wind direction back to the southwest. With a new wind direction, we get a new air mass tomorrow. Despite the early morning chill, temps rise quickly, through the 40s and into the lower 50s for many. With a good amount of sunshine, it’ll be a beautiful end to the workweek. The weekend is just a shade cooler, back in the mid to upper 40s Saturday and near 50 Sunday. Saturday will be the brighter of the two days as I expect a lot of clouds on Sunday. Those clouds foreshadow the next storm to run up the eastern seaboard, providing the next round of heavy rain and gusty winds. Whil...

Trump returns to Iowa as he ramps up campaigning in early nominating states

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:41:31 GMT

(CNN) — Former President Donald Trump’s closing argument to Republican voters began to take shape in an Iowa speech on Wednesday ahead of next month’s Iowa caucuses.The front-runner for the Republican nomination sought to galvanize Iowa Republicans by keeping the focus on defeating President Joe Biden, while also swiping at his two leading primary opponents, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who trail far behind him in polls both in Iowa and nationally.The Iowa event – ahead of visits later in the week to New Hampshire and Nevada, which hold Republicans’ second and third nominating contests – came as Trump holds a commanding lead in primary polls and is looking to blunt any of their momentum less than five weeks before voting begins. His campaign speech followed a positive legal development for him, with a federal judge pausing an election interference case that could delay the start of a trial, which is currently schedule...
