It was a fun night out for Miami Heat fans in North Bay Village, until it wasn’t.The watch party hosted by the Heat at Shuckers, Wednesday night, was a road rally with a little bit of deflation at the end, when the hometown team lost to the New York Knicks 112-103 in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.But before the last buzzer, revelers were clearly excited to be at the waterfront restaurant.“It’s amazing. I’m so glad I came,” said a woman.The players may have squared off against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden, but the Heat bash brought the closest thing to experiencing the team live to vivid life.The Heat’s PA announcer was at the party.

Dans les coulisses de l’IPS, l’indicateur qui secoue la mixité à l’école

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:08:21 GMT

Le monde de l’éducation est familier des classements en tout genre, pourtant rarement un indicateur aura autant fait parler de lui : l’indice de position sociale (IPS), qui mesure le niveau social des élèves et établissements français, est au centre d’intenses débats depuis sa publication contrainte et forcée par le gouvernement.Pap Ndiaye, ministre de l’Education nationale, qui a convoqué jeudi 11 mai les recteurs et directeurs académiques pour leur fixer des objectifs en matière de mixité sociale, a lui-même utilisé l’indicateur ces derniers mois.Ce n’était pourtant pas gagné d’avance : j’ai obtenu la publication de l’IPS en octobre 2022 après trois ans de procédure, grâce à une décision du tribunal administratif.“Vous avez mis un sacré bazar mais c’est bien”, me remercie Emmanuel Constant, vice-président socialiste du conseil départemental de Seine-Saint-Denis. “C’est une publication précieuse”, se félicite Grégoir...

Editorial: Elizabeth Warren, Maura Healey hitting the road for Biden

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:08:21 GMT

Politicians are fond of saying that they were elected to do the “peoples’ business.”The question is, just what people are we talking about?Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Gov. Maura Healey are ostensibly in office working for Bay Staters. But the Democratic lawmakers just got a side hustle: making the campaign rounds for Pres. Joe Biden as he seeks re-election.This goes well beyond endorsements. As The Hill reported, the Biden-Harris 2024 campaign on Wednesday announced its national advisory board, which will be chaired by former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and include, among others, Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker (D-N.J.).Also in the mix of 50 Democrats, Gov. Healey.The Supersized Squad is expected to act as surrogates for the campaign, fundraise and traverse the country to boost President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.The board will “participate in regular media interviews, assist with fundraising efforts and events, leverage their ne...

Porter: In the war on drugs, fentanyl will win

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:08:21 GMT

So let’s say the United States labels Mexican drug cartels terrorist organizations, like so many Republicans are demanding. Let’s say it deploys “cyberwarfare” and missile strikes against its kingpins, declares war against the cartels and sends troops across the border, whether the Mexican government agrees or not.Then what?Here’s what: Fentanyl keeps killing Americans; in 2023 more than in 2022; in 2024 more than in 2023. You can follow the trend.The war on drugs has always been, at best, a pointless approach to the nation’s epidemic of substance abuse. More likely, it has exacerbated the crisis, pushing traffickers into more powerful, and lucrative, narcotics with which to lure vulnerable Americans into addiction.The arrival on scene of fentanyl, easily cooked in a makeshift kitchen, so compact that a couple of pickup loads can serve the entire U.S. market, has blown up the farce. The GOP’s bloodlust does not change the reality that fentanyl, in the words of John Walsh of the Wash...

‘Book Club: The Next Chapter’ should be shelved

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:08:21 GMT

BOOK REVIEW“Book Club: The Next Chapter”Rated PG-13. At the AMC Boston Common, AMC South Bay and suburban theaters.Grade: DFilms as bad as “Book Club: The Next Chapter” are a rare breed these days. Badly written, badly acted, a sequel to a bad movie (“Book Club,” 2018), how did “The Next Chapter” get made? One can only blame it on the ego and apparent clout of the film’s producer-director-co-writer Bill Holderman (“Book Club”) and its storied and notably aged cast.This includes Jane Fonda, Diane Keaton, Mary Steenburgen, Candice Bergen and several other actors not as much in demand as they were in their 1970s and 1980s heydays. Notably worse than “80 for Brady,” “Book Club: The Next Chapter” uses as its kickstart a ”White Lotus”-like, long-deferred trip to Italy by West Coast book club members Vivian “Viv” (Fonda), a supposedly ageless beauty on the verge of getting married to the Dorian Gray-like Arthur (Don Johnson).Viv and her fellow members and best friends Carol (St...

Dear Abby: Three’s a crowd for man and his parents

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:08:21 GMT

Dear Abby: I am a 30-something single gay man. My parents are older and have a strained marriage. They no longer have a relationship but stay together. I live with them because of money issues, and they sometimes need assistance. I do not have the ability to bring friends or dates over, and I feel as if my mental health is being affected because of this, among other things.I own the house we live in, but because my folks are helping me, I feel I can’t tell them to leave. They irritate me to no end, and I feel awful about that. What can I do to encourage them to leave me alone? — Frustrated in PennsylvaniaDear Frustrated: You and your parents are all adults. In a sense, your relationship with them now is its own “marriage of convenience.” You are overdue for a frank conversation with your parents about boundaries and privacy. You should be able to entertain friends, and your folks should give you the space to do it. You should also care less what they think ab...

San Diego County addresses looming impacts as end of Title 42 nears

SAN DIEGO - The San Diego County Board of Supervisors addresses the end of Title 42 and the looming local impacts as thousands of migrants eagerly await to land in U.S. soil. San Diego County bracing for what's to come with the impending end of the COVID-era policy initiated by the Trump Administration during the dawn of the pandemic. “We don’t know where we are with the numbers that we’ll have, I think there’s a lot of misinformation about what can and cannot happen," Chairwoman Nora Vargas said. Part of the meeting Wednesday included the county's outreach to handle the surging influx calling for long-term solutions in a letter to the Biden Administration. "What I’m trying to share with you is that as a County we’re going to do what we can to coordinate and work with the federal government, so they understand the impact it’s having on all of us," Vargas said. “We need to be able to increase the migrant shelter capacity, that’s our message to the federal government.” Man who caugh...
