NEW YORK (AP) - Cities and towns along the East Coast scrambled to prepare for a bout with heavy snow and damaging winds after forecasters issued blizzard alerts for communities from Maryland to Massachusetts. The National Weather Service warned that once the storm intensifies Sunday it could prove significantly more severe than projections made just a few days ago.

The weather service said the storm could begin as rainfall in some places before worsening. The weather service warned that the storm, with gusts up to 55 mph (80 kph), could cause whiteout conditions that “will make travel treacherous and potentially life-threatening.

The goal of the “analog lifestyle” trend is to wean people off constant digital connectivity by doing tangible activities that help a person reclaim their time. Experts say these feelings are coinciding with the advent of the internet, digital media and this concept of 24/7 access. How is the ‘analog lifestyle’ trend different? AdvertisementNot surprisingly, the analog lifestyle is being adopted by young adults and younger generations as a way to be more mindful, more intentional.

CryptoCity is one example of how Trump’s foreign policy is benefitting a venture-capital fueled private city and “network state” movement. The billionaire first backed the Seasteading Institute — an organization promoting ocean colonization — and then VC firm Pronomos Capital, an early investor in Próspera. In 2022, crypto investor Balaji Srinivasan took the tech-futurist and land-hungry movement to the next level, coining the idea of the “network state.” A network state refers to an online community that pools capital, forms a blockchain “nation,” and then crowdsources land and exploits legal exemptions to build para-national territories. This is because even small pockets of U.S. territory could pave the way for venture capitalist interests in private jurisdiction development under the “network state” rubric. Praxis is a particularly extreme player in the network state movement.

Some specific exports to the U.S., like automobiles and steel, aren’t affected by the U.S. high court decision. Those that are affected will likely now be covered by a new 10% tariff imposed by an executive order Trump signed Friday. Trump announced Saturday morning that he would raise the tariff to 15%. Advertisement“I note that President Trump, a few hours ago, said he had reworked some measures to introduce new tariffs, more limited ones, but applying to everyone,” Macron said. The policy swoons in the United States over the last year have made many global business leaders cautious, as they struggle to forecast and see investment take a hit.

(AP Photo/Jae C. Hong)LOS ANGELES (AP) — UCLA was having a very bad week, staggering to blowout losses on the road, where coach Mick Cronin angrily — and he later admitted wrongly — ejected one of his own players at Michigan State. Winners of 14 of 16, the Illini built a 23-point lead while shooting 54% from the floor and 53% from 3-point range. “I was worried before the game,” Cronin said. “Even when we went down big, we were still connected as a team in the huddles,” Dent said. The Bruins (18-9, 10-6 Big Ten) were coming off consecutive 20-plus point defeats for the first time since the 1944-45 season.

It’s the heart of the offseason, with a couple more weeks left until free agency kicks off. That makes it a prime time to dive into the history of the Atlanta Falcons and, of course, argue about it. Today, we’re going to kick off a series of articles and votes for the Falcons all-century team. We’ll go position-by-position, one to two a day, and try to come up with a starting lineup and direct backups who should be considered the best of the best for the Falcons from 2000-2025. We’ll kick off voting later this week, but in the meantime, feel free to start building your own all-Falcons lineup.

MILAN — The spectacular Olympics of American Jordan Stolz ended on a bit of a down note Saturday, whereas his teammate Mia Manganello capped her speedskating career on a high. The 21-year-old from Wisconsin had already won gold in the 500 and 1,000 meters, and a silver in the 1,500 heading into Saturday's race. However, Bergsma held onto the lead he built and became the oldest Olympic speedskating champion in history. Instead, the pack held back and the two skaters in the lead widened the gap. In the women's race, Manganello, in the final contest of her career, won bronze behind Dutch gold medalist Marijke Groenewoud and Canada's Ivanie Blondin.

Black and his family had already been searching for a goldendoodle since September, and had been approved by the rescue months before he met Jet Blue.
