Fuel shortages prompt rationing, event cancellations in Cuba

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:45:20 GMT

Associated PressHAVANA — Cuba’s fuel shortages have increased dramatically with authorities suspending activities, including a concert by the country’s national symphony, as well as rationing gasoline sales and moving some universities’ classes online.Cubans have experiences shortages of all kinds of goods amid the recent economic crisis but the cancellation of activities because of fuel shortages had not been reported previously.

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Mets have turned Max Scherzer’s suspension into a fashion statement.With the team just back from a West Coast trip, new Mets T-shirts that read “Sweat and Rosin” showed up in the clubhouse Tuesday before New York’s series opener against Washington.One rested on reliever Tommy Hunter’s chair, right next to Scherzer’s locker.“I don’t know who brought ‘em in, how they got there,” Mets manager Buck Showalter said. “I’m not in the T-shirt policing business — but I could be.”Scherzer was suspended for 10 games by Major League Baseball last week following h is ejection for having a foreign substance on his hand while pitching in a game at Dodger Stadium.The three-time Cy Young Award winner insisted the substance umpires found too sticky was simply his sweat mixed with rosin — a legal substance for pitchers, if applied properly.Scherzer initially challenged the suspension but dropped his appeal hours later, saying the Mets urg...

Elevation is the main reason Denver won't see snow. Here's why

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:45:20 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- If you have looked at the forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday, you might have noticed one thing: The Denver metro area is expected to see mainly rain or flurries with no accumulation, while other areas are slated to get significant snow accumulation.Why is that?Pinpoint Weather Meteorologist Jessica Lebel said the key is elevation.Why it is going to snow in some places and rain in others?Lebel said the higher the elevation, the colder it gets.Denver sits at around 5,280 feet above sea level, which is certainly higher than most cities across the nation. However, Lebel said to see snow in this storm, you need to be at an elevation of 6,000 feet or higher. Is Denver seeing less snow than normal? While these higher elevations can most clearly be seen in the mountains, in the area south of the metro -- between Denver and Colorado Springs -- the elevation is also higher.For example, in Monument, the elevation is just under 7,000 feet. This means that it is colder than it...
