McGowan Falls might not be very large, but it is one of the most picturesque waterfalls in midwestern Ontario. But wear and tear on the associated dam from holding back frazzle ice over the past 20 years has taken its toll, say the owners of the Upper Durham Dam, the Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority (SVCA). “This dam cannot hold up to the pressures of that ice applying itself to the top of the dam. And three different engineering reports have confirmed that indeed, it is a safety hazard to continue to operate in that way,” said Erik Downing, general manager with the SVCA. Those reports say damage from holding back that winter ice and water have caused “severe concrete damage” to the dam, which “poses a risk of structural failure.” So, the SVCA will pull the flashboards and stoplogs that hold that ice and water back each winter, allowing for a free-flowing river. That’s caused concern for the local mayor, Kevin Eccles. He said he’s worried about safety of a different kind. The safety of the community of Durham. In 1997, when the stoplogs and flashboards were also removed, the town almost flooded after frazzle ice plugged up the Saugeen River flowing through the middle of town. Durham Upper Dam, seen on Nov. 28, 2024. (Scott Miller/CTV News London) “In 1997, it was as close to a disaster as you can get. We came very close to even losing the bridge over Highway 6, and the dam,” said Eccles. After that, in 2006 as a pilot project, the flashboards and stoplogs were kept in Durham’s upper dam during the winter to control the frazzle ice buildup. It appeared to work, so going back to the way it was before 2006 with no dam controls for the frazzle ice has Eccles worried about a repeat performance of 1997, or worse. “By not doing it the way it has been done with the boards in, I'm not sure that it would be a unique situation, to flood the whole town at this point in time,” said Eccles. Frazzle Ice near the Durham Upper Dam. (Source: Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority) Downing said they can no longer ignore the engineering reports from 2021, 2022, and 2024 that say the dam is in danger of failure if the winter boards stay in. “This dam cannot hold up to those forces. There's three structural engineers reports that say that the dam is at risk if we continue in this way, and it has seen significant damage over the last 20 years,” said Downing. “The liabilities of changing the operations I don't think have been thought through totally yet. I'm hopeful that there’s a change in mindset from both the Conservation Authority and the Ministry of Natural Resources, for the protection of the community here in Durham,” said Eccles.

Shares of the Santa Clara, California-based company rose more than 8% in extended trading following the results. The stock hit a record high during Tuesday's trading session. Marvell's shares have risen nearly 60% this year as Wall Street pours billions of dollars into AI-linked stocks, placing huge bets on the future of genAI technology. Shares of larger competitor Broadcom have rallied about 50% this year. Demand for advanced chips that can support the complex processing needs of genAI has soared as companies race each other to develop the most sophisticated models. The company forecast fourth-quarter revenue of $1.80 billion, plus or minus 5%, compared with analysts' average estimate of $1.65 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. While the market for AI processors is dominated by Nvidia, Big Tech has been vying to reduce its dependence on the chip leader's supply-constrained semiconductors, which has helped companies such as Marvell. Marvell said on Monday it had expanded its partnership with Amazon.com and entered into a five-year agreement with the tech giant's cloud unit, which includes supplying custom AI products. Revenue in Marvell's data center segment grew 98% to $1.10 billion in the third quarter from a year ago. Its total quarterly revenue was $1.52 billion, beating estimates of $1.46 billion. The company expects its AI revenue to triple to more than $1.5 billion this year and hit $2.5 billion for the next fiscal year, CEO Matt Murphy had said at a company event in April. Revenue derived from custom AI chips alone could be between $2.5 billion and $3 billion in 2025 for Marvell, with optical equipment adding another $1.5 billion to $2 billion to AI revenue, Jefferies analysts had said in a note in October. On the other hand, customers in the company's other end-markets such as wireless carriers have been working to drive down chip inventory after excessive buying during the pandemic resulted in a supply glut. Marvell forecast an adjusted gross margin of 60% for the fourth quarter, compared with estimates of 61%. A significant share of Marvell's revenue is now derived from custom AI chips as AI-linked demand rises. The company's custom chips typically carry lower margins than its off-the-shelf products, known as merchant products. Marvell's enterprise networking segment posted a 44% fall to $150.9 million in revenue, while that of the company's carrier infrastructure unit declined 73% to $84.7 million. The company recorded adjusted earnings of 43 cents per share in the third quarter, compared with estimates of 41 cents.

He was 100. Login or signup to continue reading A Democrat, he served as president from January 1977 to January 1981 after defeating incumbent Republican President Gerald Ford in the 1976 US election. Carter was swept from office four years later in an electoral landslide as voters embraced Republican challenger Ronald Reagan, the former actor and California governor. Carter lived longer after his term in office than any other US president. Along the way, he earned a reputation as a better former president than he was a president - a status he readily acknowledged. His one-term presidency was marked by the highs of the 1978 Camp David accords between Israel and Egypt, bringing some stability to the Middle East. But it was dogged by an economy in recession, persistent unpopularity and the embarrassment of the Iran hostage crisis that consumed his final 444 days in office. In recent years, Carter experienced several health issues including melanoma that spread to his liver and brain. Carter decided to receive hospice care in February 2023 instead of undergoing additional medical intervention. His wife, Rosalynn Carter, died in November 2023, at age 96. He looked frail when he attended her memorial service and funeral in a wheelchair. Carter left office profoundly unpopular but worked energetically for decades on humanitarian causes. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 in recognition of his "untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development." The 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty, based on the 1978 Camp David accords, ended a state of war between the two neighbours. Carter brought Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin to the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland for talks. Later, as the accords seemed to be unravelling, Carter saved the day by flying to Cairo and Jerusalem for personal shuttle diplomacy. The treaty provided for Israeli withdrawal from Egypt's Sinai Peninsula and establishment of diplomatic relations. Begin and Sadat each won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1978. By the 1980 election, the overriding issues were double-digit inflation, interest rates that exceeded 20 per cent and soaring gas prices, as well as the Iran hostage crisis that brought humiliation to America. These issues marred Carter's presidency and undermined his chances of winning a second term. On November 4, 1979, revolutionaries devoted to Iran's Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini had stormed the US Embassy in Tehran, seized the Americans present and demanded the return of the ousted shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who was backed by the United States and was being treated in a US hospital. The American public initially rallied behind Carter. But his support faded in April 1980 when a commando raid failed to rescue the hostages, with eight US soldiers killed in an aircraft accident in the Iranian desert. Carter's final ignominy was that Iran held the 52 hostages until minutes after Reagan took his oath of office on January 20, 1981, to replace Carter, then released the planes carrying them to freedom.
