The Miami Heat have hit their first bit of adversity this season, coming off two straight losses while the team patiently awaits the returns from their All-Star duo of Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro. Although they are making progress, the Heat need to prepare for a little while longer without them. Their depth needs to prove that they can keep things afloat in the meantime, and they are in a perfect opportunity to bounce back for Monday night's matchup.
Jack Hu, an organizer of the anti-casino movement and lifelong resident of Flushing, alleged the committee only voted in support of the casino because members "took lobbying dollars from Metropolitan Park." He said the developer "manufactured consent" from the committee and made it appear as though the community is fully in support of the casino despite the overwhelming opposition demonstrated during the Nov. 16 protest.
Earlier this month, Bloomberg reported that Mayor Eric Adams was planning to stack the Rent Guidelines Board with a bevy of his own appointees on his way out of office in an effort to block Zohran Mamdani's agenda to freeze rent for rent-stabilized tenants.

Brewster's No Kings rally Saturday drew more than 4,000 people, bringing almost twice as many protesters to GOP Representative Mike Lawler's district than its June event in Mount Kisco did. It was the largest rally in Brewster's history. Nationally, rally co-organizer Indivisible announced that these events drew 7 million people, also twice the June number.

The Knicks are stocked with talent but also are laden with expectations with fans desperate for the team to make the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999.

There are two ways a doctor can treat a patient. He or she can of course prescribe medicine or solutions of any kind. You go in with a janked elbow, the doctor can offer an X-ray and medication and the whole kit and caboodle.
