FOXBORO — It’s usually frowned upon to walk up to someone and ask, “Hey, did you gain weight?”It’s not always a bad thing when addressing an offensive lineman, though. And for Patriots left guard Cole Strange, weight was an issue for the 2022 first-round pick as a rookie.But Strange looked bigger in his return to the field in Week 7 from a knee injury, and it coincided with the Patriots’ best offensive line performance by far this season in Sunday’s win over the Bills.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Source: Patriots signing former 1st-round WR to active roster New England Patriots | Callahan: The Patriots can’t take Demario Douglas off the field anymore New England Patriots | Patriots-Dolphins injury report: Tyreek Hill sits out Wednesday, Bill Belichick lists 12 injured New England Patriots | Source: Patriots re-signing Malik Cunningham to practice squad New England Patriots | Celtic...

By MARK STEVENSON (Associated Press)ACAPULCO, Mexico (AP) — Otis’ stunning transformation into a monster hurricane killed at least 27 people as it devastated Acapulco, officials said Thursday.President Andrés Manuel López Obrador went by road after the hurricane hit the iconic city on Mexico’s Pacific coast, where at least four people remained missing. He said Otis had toppled every power-line pole in the zone where it hit on Wednesday, leaving much of the city of 1 million without electricity.Otis turned from mild to monster in record time, and scientists are struggling to figure out how — and why they didn’t see it coming. With tens of thousands of residents in damaged homes without power, the toll could rise.“The people sheltered, protected themselves and that’s why fortunately there weren’t more tragedies, loss of human life,” López Obrador said.Acapulco’s municipal water system was down and López Obrador, who made it into Acapulco late Wednesday with many of h...

Manitoba premier to meet with women’s families to talk about landfill search

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:13:57 GMT

WINNIPEG — Manitoba’s recently elected premier is set to meet with the families of two slain First Nations women whose remains are believed to be in a Winnipeg-area landfill. Wab Kinew is expected to meet with the families of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran in what he calls a first step in resetting the relationship between the families and the provincial government. Before forming government last week, Kinew said a New Democrat government would search the Prairie Green Landfill for the women’s remains but stopped short of providing a funding commitment. Former premier Heather Stefanson and the previous Progressive Conservative government opposed a search of the landfill, citing safety concerns, and highlighted their refusal during the provincial election campaign. Jeremy Skibicki has been charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Harris and Myran.He also faces the same charges in the deaths of Rebecca Contois, whose partial remains were discovered in a differen...
