FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — Patrick Cartier scored a season-high 21 points, Nique Clifford and Isaiah Stevens went a combined 8 of 9 on free throws down the stretch and No. 13 Colorado State held off New Mexico 76-68 Tuesday night in the Mountain West Conference opener for both teams.Colorado State (13-1, 1-0) opened a 17-point lead with 5:15 remaining, only to see the Lobos (12-2, 0-1) storm back and make things interesting. Clifford and Stevens ended the comeback bid at the line as the Rams won their fourth straight since a home loss to Saint Mary’s on Dec. 9.“We weren’t perfect, you’re never going to be, but I thought our guys did a lot of really good things here tonight,” Colorado State coach Niko Medved said. Stevens had 18 points and eight assists in his 131st career start. He’s one away from matching the program mark held by Nico Carvacho (2015-20). Stevens already holds school records for points (he went over 2,000 on Tuesday) and assists. Clifford finished with 12 poin...

Tim Kelley: Winter is Coming

Meteorologist Tim Kelley didn’t discover skiing until he was an adult (“I mostly wanted to chase snowstorms to the top of mountains. And then discovered how fun it was to Ski,” he shared).Now, as an avid, dedicated skier, his twitter account @SurfSkiWeather is worth following for any skier/rider who wants to not just keep up with but also understand the weather.While the recent weather has been a downer, he said, better times are ahead – and not too far away.“Canada is going to be wall to wall cold in about 10 days, with a direct dispatch from the North Pole to Canada; similar to what we saw around Halloween.”The season, from that Halloween time until just days ago, he said, was tracking like the snowy winter of 2018. Using the UVM snow stake at Stowe, he said, up until Dec. 17, all looked on track to be a super snowy early season, setting us up for a great holiday week.“And then on Monday the 18th, the world ended,” he said. That catastrophic storm caused massive flooding and damag...

New Year’s Day quake in Japan revives the trauma of 2011 triple disasters

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 01:34:35 GMT

SUZU, Japan (AP) — The powerful earthquake that shattered the peace of New Year’s Day in central Japan did not spur massive tsunamis like those that scoured the Pacific coast in 2011, killing nearly 20,000 people and forcing tens of thousands of people from their homes.The tsunamis that did roll in along the Sea of Japan, on Japan’s western coast, were mostly just a few feet high, rather than waves up to 5 meters (15 feet) tall predicted in alerts issued just after the magnitude 7.6 quake struck on Monday afternoon. But the alarms and evacuation orders, and the dozens of strong quakes that came before and after the main quake on Monday, summoned memories of the triple disasters nearly 13 years ago. ,As of Wednesday morning, local officials said 62 people were confirmed killed in the quake that struck on the coast of the remote Noto peninsula, 300 kilometers (about 185 miles) northwest of Tokyo. Searchers were combing through rubble, a task lent urgency by forecasts for heavy r...
