Tee Martin, a ‘quarterback guy’ who now coaches them for the Ravens, has already built trust with Lamar Jackson

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:16:33 GMT

The Ravens’ offseason has been a sea of change. Quarterback Lamar Jackson got a new contract, and Baltimore got a new offensive coordinator and a cadre of new wide receivers.But there’s also a familiar face among all that restructuring.Tee Martin, who spent the past two seasons as Baltimore’s wide receivers coach, was named quarterbacks coach in February, taking over for James Urban.For Martin, it’s a return to his natural position — he quarterbacked Tennessee to a national championship in 1998. But with it also comes a certain degree of scrutiny as he tries to help Jackson return to the form that earned the quarterback the NFL Most Valuable Player award in 2019.“You’re coaching a quarterback who’s different than a lot of … other quarterbacks,” Martin said last week during voluntary organized team activities, which conclude this week in Owings Mills before mandatory minicamp begins next Tuesday. “[It’s] very sim...

Atlanta project decried as ‘Cop City’ gets funding approval from City Council

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:16:33 GMT

ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta City Council early Tuesday approved funding for the construction of a proposed police and firefighter training center, rejecting the pleas of hundreds of activists who packed City Hall and spoke for hours in fierce opposition to the project they decry as “Cop City.”The 11-4 vote just after 5 a.m. is a significant victory for Mayor Andre Dickens, who has made the $90 million project a large part of his first term in office, despite significant pushback to the effort. The City Council also passed a resolution requesting two seats on the Atlanta Police Foundation’s board. The decentralized “Stop Cop City” movement has galvanized protesters from across the country, especially in the wake of the January fatal police shooting of Manuel Paez Terán, a 26-year-old environmental activist known as “Tortuguita” who had been camping in the woods near the site of the proposed project in DeKalb County. For about 14 hours, residents again and again took to the podium to slam ...

Athletics move to Las Vegas, film tax credit proposal in flux as Nevada Legislature adjourns

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:16:33 GMT

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Even as Nevada lawmakers adjourned their four-month legislative session, a plan to help build a stadium for the Oakland Athletics in Las Vegas is still in flux.The future of the contentious bill is now uncertain after the Democratic-controlled Legislature did not advance it before the midnight deadline as Monday turned to Tuesday. The proposal could potentially be considered in a special legislative session at a date to be determined later, where lawmakers would later vote on it. Lawmakers also failed to pass one of the five major budget bills that included over $1 billion to fund capital improvement projects that fund state public works and construction, which would also likely be considered for a special session. The measure faltered in the Senate as they ran out of time for a second vote after party disagreements lasted until the midnight deadline. In a statement at 1 a.m., Republican Gov. Lombardo said he would call a special session later Tuesday mornin...

Ukraine brands Russia ‘terrorist state’ to open hearings in case against Russia at top UN court

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:16:33 GMT

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — A top Ukrainian diplomat called Russia a “terrorist state” Tuesday as he opened his country’s case against Moscow at the United Nations’ highest court and accused Russia of blowing up a major dam in southern Ukraine.Anton Korynevych was addressing judges at the International Court of Justice in a case brought by Kyiv against Russia linked to Moscow’s 2014 annexation of Crimea and arming of rebels in eastern Ukraine in the years before Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022. Ukraine wants the world court to order Moscow to pay reparations for attacks in the regions, including for the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 that was shot down by Russia-backed rebels on July 17, 2014, killing all 298 passengers and crew.Korynevych said that with Moscow unable to beat Ukraine on the battlefield, “it targets civilian infrastructure to try to freeze us into submission. Earlier today, just today, … Russia blew up a major dam located in Nova Kakhovka,...

White House website highlights infrastructure as Biden pushes policy wins

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:16:33 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House on Tuesday is launching a website to map and track tens of thousands of infrastructure projects and private manufacturing investments, an effort by the administration to show the positive impact of its policies on the U.S. economy to a skeptical public.The site, Invest.gov, documents roughly 32,000 infrastructure projects and more than $470 billion worth of investments in the production of electric vehicles, batteries, computer chips, biotech, clean energy and other sectors. President Joe Biden is seeking reelection in 2024 by trying to show how his policies are reshaping the U.S. economy to address climate change and compete with rivals such as China.Natalie Quillian, deputy White House chief of staff, said the site shows that Biden’s agenda is “underway and working.”“We want people to be able to see what’s happening in their communities,” Quillian said. U.S. adults have generally given Biden poor reviews on his economic leadership. Jus...

German factory orders dipped again as 2nd quarter started

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:16:33 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — German factory orders, an important indicator for Europe’s biggest economy, dipped in April after a big drop in March, official figures showed Tuesday. The data pointed to a disappointing start to the second quarter.The Economy Ministry said orders were down 0.4% compared with the previous month. That followed a painful 10.9% drop in March. Economists had expected an increase in April, but the ministry said the figure was influenced in part by fluctuations in bulk orders.While domestic orders were up 1.6% in April, there was a drop in foreign demand — particularly in orders from elsewhere in the 20-nation eurozone, which were 2.7% lower.The orders data followed the release on Monday of lackluster export figures for April. They showed exports increasing by 1.2% on the month after a 6% drop in March.In late May, Germany’s national statistics office said that the economy shrank in the first three months of this year, marking the second consecutive quarter of c...
