Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:52:17 GMT

LONDON — The U.K.’s long-awaited semiconductor strategy has been held up again, this time by uncertainty over who will cover Technology Secretary Michelle Donelan’s maternity leave.While the EU is expected to press ahead with its own Chips Act Tuesday, business leaders are still awaiting the U.K.’s plans. The strategy is seen as crucial amid a global scramble to secure supply chains for semiconductors — used in everything from iPhones to advanced weapons — amid fears about relations with China.The government has been saying since last year that its strategy for securing semiconductor supply chains will be published “as soon as possible.” The announcement had been penciled into the government news grid for this Thursday, but has been pushed back again.The strategy has been held until No. 10 and the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology decide who will cover maternity leave for Secretary of State Donelan, a Whitehall official told POLITICO. Donelan is due this month but no...

Marathon Monday Forecast

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:52:17 GMT

It’s a big day across Massachusetts today including Patriot’s Day and the reenactment of the Battle of Lexington & Concord, the Sox game, Bruins game, and of course the running of the 127th Boston Marathon. All things considered it’s pretty decent forecast for the runners. There will be a lot of clouds today, drizzle/mist in the morning hours and a few scattered showers this afternoon. With the clouds around, temperatures aren’t going to move much today, starting about 50° and most of us only climbing to the upper 50s. There will be an east wind at 5-12 mph. Which, being an on shore wind will keep the coast a touch cooler, and for runners is a head wind for essentially the entire course. It’s not a strong headwind, but a headwind regardless.Spectators on the course will probably want to take a rain jacket especially for all of the charity runners you’re going to cheer on as the later start time in Hopkinton will really increase the likelihood ...

ASK IRA: Will Heat’s Spoelstra relent, turn to Oladipo as Herro replacement?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:52:17 GMT

Q: Victor Oladipo absolutely needs to be in the rotation next game. At the minimum, his defense against Jrue Holiday will help immensely. There is no reason why Duncan Robinson should be playing over him – JRod.A: It certainly was interesting that Victor Oladipo did not sniff the court after Tyler Herro was hurt in Sunday’s victory. But I also would not overstate Duncan Robinson’s role, considering he ultimately played just 6:26, most of it as Erik Spoelstra was attempting to wrap his mind around a rotation without Tyler. What the loss of Tyler does is limit the Heat’s shot creation. That is one thing that Tyler does as well as arguably anyone on the roster. You’re not going to get that from Duncan or Caleb Martin or Max Strus. You might get that from Vic, which leads to the next question . . .Q: Everything Victor Oladipo does on defense is canceled out by his terrible offense. You never know what he’s gonna do and he kills the momentum every time...

Ravens draft preview: Adding juice at edge rusher might be worth the squeeze

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:52:17 GMT

The calendar has officially flipped to April, which can only mean one thing: It’s time to get ready for the NFL draft.The first round begins April 27 in Kansas City, but until then, the Ravens have plenty to figure out. Most notably, their contract stalemate with star quarterback Lamar Jackson, who has requested a trade while under the $32.4 million nonexclusive franchise tag. If he gets his wish, the Ravens’ draft could look a lot different.Baltimore owns five picks: Nos. 22 (first round), 86 (third round), 124 (fourth round), 157 (fifth round) and 199 (sixth round). A blockbuster deal for Jackson would significantly increase the size of that haul, but the Ravens are guaranteed at least one additional first-rounder this year if Jackson signs an offer with another team before the draft and Baltimore declines to match it.As we get closer to the draft, The Baltimore Sun will examine which players at each position of need (quarterback, wide receiver, cornerback, defensive l...
