En la frontera nevada entre Nueva York y Canadá, la oficina del alguacil local está pidiendo a la Patrulla Fronteriza de Estados Unidos que ponga más personal detrás de lo que los lugareños llaman una crisis creciente: la cantidad de cruces fronterizos ilegales en el área durante los últimos cinco meses es casi 10 veces más que en el mismo período del año pasado, y los que cruzan la frontera corren peligro de morir congelados.Del 1 de octubre al 28 de febrero, alrededor de 2000 migrantes cruzaron la frontera entre Canadá y New Hampshire, Vermont y Nueva York hacia el sur a través de los bosques, en comparación con solo 200 cruces en el mismo período del año anterior.

Winderman’s view: Is the Omer Yurtseven era flaming out, as Heat fall?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:16:40 GMT

Observations and other notes of interest from Saturday night’s 113-99 loss to the Chicago Bulls:– It’s almost as if Heat coach Erik Spoelstra merely is looking to buy time in the absence of sidelined center Cody Zeller, who is recovering from a procedure for the nasal fracture sustained last Saturday in Orlando.– This time, after three ineffective minutes in his initial stint, second-year Omer Yurtseven did not return in the first half, with Kevin Love instead shifted to center when Adebayo took his second break of the game.– Then, when starting center Bam Adebayo took his first break of the second half, it was Haywood Highsmith entering for the first time, instead of Yurtseven.– Even with Love also out of the game at the time.– In other words, Spoelstra was more willing to go with a front line of Highsmith, Jimmy Butler and Caleb Martin than tempt the fates with Yurtseven.– Only grabage time saw a return of Yurtseven.– With Zell...

Silicon Valley Bank collapse concerns founders of color

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:16:40 GMT

In the hours after some of Silicon Valley Bank’s biggest customers started pulling out their money, a WhatsApp group of startup founders who are immigrants of color ballooned to more than 1,000 members.Questions flowed as the bank’s financial status worsened. Some desperately sought advice: Could they open an account at a larger bank without a Social Security Number? Others questioned whether they had to physically be at a bank to open an account, because they’re visiting parents overseas.One clear theme emerged: a deep concern about the broader impact on startups led by people of color.While Wall Street struggles to contain the banking crisis after the swift demise of SVB — the nation’s 16th largest bank and the biggest to fail since the 2008 financial meltdown — industry experts predict it could become even harder for people of color to secure funding or a financial home supporting their startups. SVB had opened its doors to such entrepreneurs, offering opportunities t...
