Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:00:43 GMT

In a welcomed relief for drivers across South Florida, the ongoing gas shortage crisis appeared to be gradually easing up. According to recent reports, more drivers are finally finding fuel, and lines at gas stations are starting to become shorter, with more gas available for purchase.While there are still a significant number of gas stations without fuel, the news is not all bad. In Sweetwater, Mayor Orlando Lopez and City Commissioner Ian Vallecillo have teamed up with E-Z Fill Gas to bring a fuel truck to Ronselli Park, located at 250 S.W. 114th Ave.Residents can breathe a sigh of relief as the gas tanker will be available at the park at 9:30 a.m. on Friday, providing much-needed gasoline to those who need it the most.The flooding interrupted the supply chain out of Port Everglades, making it difficult for tanker trucks to refuel gas stations. The situation was exacerbated by panic buying, which caused some gas stations to run out of fuel completely. With most terminals at Port E...

Dominic Raab latest in long line of sackings and storm-outs under Britain’s Tories

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:00:43 GMT

LONDON — Sackings and dramatic resignations used to be relatively rare in British politics. Not any more.Dominic Raab’s resignation as deputy prime minister and justice secretary amid a bullying investigation marks the third dramatic Cabinet departure from Rishi Sunak’s government — even though Sunak has been prime minister for under six months.These events were once a rarity. Analysis by the Institute for Government think tank shows that ministerial resignations outside reshuffles have become far more common as the Conservatives’ current 13-year-stretch in government has carried on, when compared to the decades under Tory and Labour governments between 1979 and 2010.Including the four Conservative prime ministers forced out since 2010, a total of 39 Cabinet ministers have — outside of a reshuffle — either been sacked, quit with a pop at the government, or resigned in disgrace. Here’s POLITICO’s reminder of each and every last one of them. The coalition...

ASK IRA: Is slow and small any way for Heat to try to win a playoff series?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:00:43 GMT

Q: We play small to get slower. That’s pathetic. – Rodney.A: Such is the reality of a roster that is largely unathletic. It’s not as if adding Max Strus or Duncan Robinson to the starting lineup in place of a lumbering big man necessarily makes the Heat any fleeter. Just smaller. Small ball typically means a faster pace, an injection of quickness, steals, transition, scoring. That simply is not the case with the Heat, which tends to be a double whammy, while also playing small. And even other smaller options are sampled, it is with older players such as Kyle Lowry and Victor Oladipo, who clearly have lost a step over the years.Q: Winning one game this series was our ceiling this season. – Kelly.A: And it well might be, in light of Wednesday night’s thrashing. For now, the focus is on getting one more. The best bet likely will be emulating something close to what the Bucks accomplished in Game 2, and win it over the top, with over-the-top 3-point shootin...
