Cavs’ Darius Garland’s answer to getting bullied by Knicks in Game 1: ‘Punch first and see what the refs do’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:35:07 GMT

CLEVELAND — Implying that his team was bullied by the Knicks, Darius Garland said the Cavs should approach Game 2 with more recklessness.In other words, foul first and ask questions later.“The refs let us play a lot. So we hit first and see the refs react,” Garland said. “Instead of being punched in the face and just laying down to it. I think that’s the mentality we have to have. Go punch first and see what the refs do, see if they blow the whistle or not. Just set the tone for the game with it.”In the process of falling in Game 1 Saturday, 101-97, the Cavs lost all the intangible battles: points off turnovers, rebounding, fastbreak points, second-chance points, etc.It was a physically dominating performance from New York, especially down the stretch as it grabbed every important loose ball.The experience was eye-opening for Garland, who, like many of the Cavs, was making his first postseason appearance.“The physicality was definitely the d...

New Twitter settings could hinder timely storm warnings: National Weather Service

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:35:07 GMT

(The Hill) – The National Weather Service (NWS) is warning that Twitter’s limit on automated tweets could hinder its ability to post timely storm and other weather updates. The NWS Tsunami Warning Center and several other local NWS offices tweeted out posts alerting their followers that the platform’s new restrictions could prevent them from being able to post all updates about weather events that they normally would. The weather accounts often post several times per day when one or multiple severe weather events are happening. But Twitter reportedly announced last month that it is planning to limit the number of free automated tweets to 1,500 per month — or the number allowed for a $100 monthly fee to 50,000 per month. This comes as one of several steps that CEO Elon Musk has taken to try to increase revenue to make up for Twitter’s shortfall. The Washington Post reported that NWS officials believe they will only be able to post 50 automated tweets in a 24-hour ...

Tornado alley is expanding — and scientists don't know why

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:35:07 GMT

(The Hill) – Tornadoes are becoming more frequent in populated parts of the United States and are often occurring as damaging clusters — a development seen in recent deadly outbreaks from Alabama to Michigan. The number, damage and deadliness of individual tornadoes has held roughly steady over the past 50 years, federal experts with the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration told The Hill. But broad shifts in the patterns of how tornadoes occur will pose serious challenges to policymakers and emergency managers across the South and Midwest — even as risks remain in the traditional heart of Tornado Alley. The role to which climate change is a factor in these shifts is unknown, and the changes in tornado behavior overall represent a major meteorological mystery. Warm winter means a powerful start to storm season — but not much else The first quarter of 2023 represented a powerful start to the year’s tornado season, with each month offering a number ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:35:07 GMT

(NEXSTAR) — Even though data shows that year-over-year rent increases are slowing, rent in most U.S. cities is still far from cheap. As reported by Rent.com in March, median national rent in February 2023 was $1,937, which was the lowest price seen in a year. Rent in February 2022, for example, was 16.5% higher than just one year earlier. Tax Day is April 18, but deadline was extended for some "Monthly rent changes fell for the fifth time in the last six months, dropping -0.25% from January to February. The dip was the smallest decrease over that span, representing only a $5 shift in the price level," Rent.com's Jon Leckie writes.So while this is is more "good" news than "bad," many renters could still be hit with a proposed rent increase when their lease is up for renewal.

Rich young Americans have lost confidence in the stock market — and are betting on these 3 assets instead

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:35:07 GMT

(Moneywise) - The stock market has long been the go-to choice for people looking to invest their money. But that could be about to change as a younger generation enters the scene.According to a recent survey from Bank of America, individuals aged 21 to 42 with at least $3 million in assets only have 25% of their portfolio invested in stocks. For wealthy investors over age 43, the allocation to equities is much higher at 55%.The recent market volatility may have something to do with these millennials' decisions."We've had a very strong run in the stock market over the last decade and are now living through volatile times. That's on the front of people's minds," says Jeff Busconi, chief operating officer at Bank of America Private Bank, in an interview.Despite the stock market's recent bounce, the benchmark S&P 500 Index is still down around 9% over the last year.Busconi adds that the younger generation of investors increasingly believes that "a traditional portfolio of stock and ...
