Venerable coaches lead Steelers and Seahawks into key Week 17 matchup

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:56:30 GMT

SEATTLE (AP) — On the list of the NFL’s winningest coaches, Pete Carroll and Mike Tomlin are linked by proximity and success.Carroll ranks 13th all-time with 180 wins between the regular season and the playoffs. Right behind him is Tomlin, with 179 victories.Despite being among the league’s longest-tenured coaches, the two have met only four times previously heading into Sunday’s matchup between the Steelers and the Seahawks.Even though their teams have rarely crossed paths, there’s a healthy respect between the two leaders.“He’s a really good man,” Carroll said. “They’ve had the good fortune of having him for years; 16 years and never had a losing season. That’s a pretty good mark, that’s hard to get that done. I have the ultimate respect for him.”This fifth matchup between the coaches is arguably the most important to date because of what is at stake. Both teams have playoff hopes, although the path for Seattle is clearer.The Seahawks (8-7) need wins over the Steelers ...

Biden administration hands Louisiana new power to expand carbon capture projects

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:56:30 GMT

The Biden administration is handing Louisiana regulators new power to attract and approve carbon capture projects at a time when the state’s influential energy sector wants to make the Gulf Coast a hub for the rapidly expanding industry.Louisiana will be able to issue permits for wells that store carbon dioxide, a critical component of carbon capture and removal technology. In all but two other states, the Environmental Protection Agency is responsible for permitting. Proponents of the change say it will speed up approvals of new projects that are critical for reducing climate-warming greenhouse gas emissions.Environmental groups had opposed the move, doubting that a state home to a concentrated stretch of oil, gas and petrochemical plants commonly called “cancer alley” is capable of proper industry oversight and protecting residents. The EPA said the Louisiana agreement includes safeguards to protect poorer, often majority-Black communities that live near those facilities — and tha...

Maine bars Trump from ballot as US Supreme Court weighs state authority to block former president

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:56:30 GMT

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Maine’s Democratic secretary of state on Thursday removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot under the Constitution’s insurrection clause, becoming the first election official to take action unilaterally as the U.S. Supreme Court is poised to decide whether Trump remains eligible to continue his campaign.The decision by Secretary of State Shenna Bellows follows a ruling earlier this month by the Colorado Supreme Court that booted Trump from the ballot there under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. That decision has been stayed until the U.S. Supreme Court decides whether Trump is barred by the Civil War-era provision, which prohibits those who “engaged in insurrection” from holding office.The Trump campaign said it would appeal Bellows' decision to Maine's state courts, and Bellows suspended her ruling until that court system rules on the case. In the end, it is likely that the nation's highest court will have the final sa...

Maine bars Trump from ballot as U.S. Supreme Court weighs state authority to block former president from elections

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:56:30 GMT

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Maine’s Democratic secretary of state on Thursday removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot under the Constitution’s insurrection clause, becoming the first election official to take action unilaterally in a decision that has potential Electoral College consequences.While Maine has just four electoral votes, it’s one of two states to split them. Trump won one of Maine’s electors in 2020, so having him off the ballot there should he emerge as the Republican general election candidate could have outsized implications in a race that is expected to be narrowly decided.The decision by Secretary of State Shenna Bellows follows a December ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court that booted Trump from the ballot there under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Colorado is a Democratic-leaning state that is not expected to be competitive for Republicans in November.Bellows found that Trump could no longer run for his prior job because ...

Boston City Council ‘not serious about public safety’: outgoing president Flynn says

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:56:30 GMT

Outgoing City Council President Ed Flynn said the vote to block $13.3 million in federal counter-terrorism funding for the metro region showed the council was “not serious about public safety,” an attitude he hopes will shift with four new members.Flynn, who had been pushing last week for an emergency meeting to reconsider the funding should the mayor fail to refile the federal grant by the end of the year, has since backed off of that last-ditch effort in 2023.“I wasn’t able to mobilize my colleagues together to assemble for a meeting,” Flynn told the Herald. “There wasn’t any support for it. So, I’m committed to working with the mayor in January to get this passed.”Flynn, whose two-year term as the body’s president ends this month, is now seeking a new vote on the matter by the end of January, after four new councilors are sworn into office. Mayor Michelle Wu, through a spokesperson, has already stated her intention to refile the grant in the new year, after the council turns over...
