PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea (AP) — The United States signed a new security pact with Papua New Guinea on Monday as it competes with China for influence in the Pacific.Papua New Guinea’s location just north of Australia makes it strategically significant.

Cooler… For Now

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 16:15:50 GMT

After a beautiful finish to the weekend with temps in the mid to upper 70s, we’ll take a couple steps back today as some cooler ocean air moves in, especially at the coastline. As we stay dry, winds do turn to the northeast, providing the chilly breeze along the coast. Temps this afternoon hold in the upper 50s at the coast and warm into the mid 60s inland. Tonight, it’ll be cooler as lows head back into the 40s. Tomorrow, while we’ll keep it coolest at the coast, it’ll be a bit milder overall for everyone as coastal temps warm to near 60 and inland temps run up to near 70 as mostly sunny skies win out. Wednesday is the warmest of the workweek days as highs top off in the upper 70s. We’ll increase the clouds in the afternoon and as a cold front slices through Wednesday evening, showers are possible. On the other side of that front, cooler air pours back in Thursday with highs in the 60s. Longer range… the long weekend forecast becomes a bit more c...

Maura Healey was a basketball star at Harvard.Before that she was an outstanding player at Winnacunnet High School in Hampton, New Hampshire.She also played professional basketball for a team in Austria for two years after she graduated from Harvard.It was an experience she used successfully in television ads and interviews during her campaigns for attorney general and then for governor.There is hardly a story written about Healey, the state’s first openly gay governor, that does not mention her basketball background.Back then, though, at high school and at Harvard in 1990-1992, Healey, played with and competed against girls and women, and not biological men.One wonders how Healey would have made out if playing point guard back then had she had to go against a 6-foot-4-inch tall biological man identifying as a woman who outweighed her by a hundred pounds. Healey on her tallest day was listed at 5-feet-6-inches.“I never realized how short I was,” she said in a later interview. “...
