(AP) — Brayden Schenn scored in the fifth round of the shootout to give the St. Louis Blues a 2-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night.It was Schenn’s 16th game in row without a goal, but the captain found a way to make a big difference at the end.

You don’t overthink it.”Carolina’s Sebastian Aho and St. Louis’ Jake Neighbours converted in the fourth round.Nathan Walker scored in regulation to help the Blues win their second straight.

Analysis: Maryland climate plan is comprehensive but lacks short-term legislative strategy

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:19:37 GMT

By most accounts, the Maryland Department of the Environment’s plan outlining the policy actions required to dramatically reduce the state’s greenhouse gas emissions is innovative and ambitious.But the 98-page document, released during the quiet days between Christmas and New Year’s, lacks a cohesive short-term legislative strategy for how Maryland can meet its climate and clean energy goals. More importantly, it does not lay out concretely how the state can begin generating about $1 billion a year needed to implement the plan. That’s leaving lawmakers and environmental advocates scrambling to develop a battle plan less than a week before the 90-day General Assembly session.“There are some parts of the plan that are strong and some parts of the plan that are less developed,” said Josh Tulkin, executive director of the Sierra Club’s Maryland chapter. “The question is, what now?”The plan was released, on schedule, before the end of...

DeSantis’ State of the State address might be as much for Iowa voters as it is for Floridians

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:19:37 GMT

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ State of the State address on Tuesday is supposed to be about Florida’s future. Iowa, though, is more likely at the front of his mind.The speech kicking off Florida’s annual legislative session comes exactly a week before Iowa’s first-in-the-nation presidential caucuses, and DeSantis has been spending much more time in the Hawkeye State than the Sunshine State in recent weeks.So it won’t be a surprise if his sixth State of the State is as much a message to Iowa voters as it is a forecast of his continued vision for Florida.“He will definitely say the state of the state is strong. He has to at least check that box, but I suspect he’s going to use his State of the State address as his last-ditch effort to pitch to national donors and to voters in Iowa,” House Democratic Leader Fentrice Driskell said. “He’d rather be on the ground in Iowa than he would be in Florida.”It was hardly a secret DeSantis was...

Hybrid worker misses touches of old office life

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:19:37 GMT

I remember them well.One was short and slightly pear-shaped, varying shades of green with the logo of my favorite neighborhood coffee shop. Another was cream-colored and massive, 24 fluid ounces at least. The last, my favorite, was petite and hilarious, adorned with the quip “Whoops, I spent the grocery money on shoes again.”They were the coffee mugs on my desk at work. My trusty delivery system for often-caffeinated hot beverages to fuel me through the work day. The green coffee mug was ideal for everyday use. The massive vessel was clutch on days when I needed an extra jolt. And that petite, quippy cup was just right for a small cup of afternoon tea.Now, they have no home.Like many other American office workers, I no longer have a desk of my own at work. The office arrangement — in which each employee grabs an empty desk on their in-office days, and fully vacates it when they leave — is often referred to as hoteling or hot-desking.Now I, and many part-time-commuting hybrid workers...

Divorced in Nov., yet still filing jointly

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:19:37 GMT

Q. My husband and I got divorced in November.  Last week he sent me an email reminding me that I agreed to send him my W-2 when I get it.  My neighbor is an accountant. I asked her whether I need to send him my W-2 and she said no and explained that we cannot file jointly now that we are divorced. My husband thinks she is wrong.  What do you think?A. I think your accountant friend is not a divorce lawyer and therefore does not have the full picture.  When people say they are divorced, unless you work in this field or have recently been through a divorce, most people do not understand the difference between a Judgment of Divorce Nisi and a Judgment of Divorce Absolute.  The nisi period is a statutory 90-day mandatory waiting period between the granting of a divorce and the divorce becoming final and absolute.While you probably feel divorced from an emotional perspective and even a physical separation perspective, technically you are still legally married during the nisi period (you c...
