Sacks Parente golf executive chairman buys $5,010 in stockChelsea 5-1 Southampton (5 Dec, 2024) Game Analysis - ESPNWASHINGTON – Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was blocked Wednesday from quickly advancing a bill that would allow local law enforcement agencies to track aerial drones, ensuring Congress won't act this year on the mysterious drone sightings that have bewildered residents of New Jersey and across the eastern U.S. Schumer, a New York Democrat, sought to speed a bipartisan bill through the Senate by seeking unanimous consent on the floor, but Sen. Rand Paul , a Kentucky Republican, objected to its passage. Recommended Videos “The people in New York and New Jersey have a lot of questions, and they’re not getting good enough answers,” said Schumer. “The utter confusion surrounding these drone sightings shows that the feds can’t respond all on their own.” Schumer has also called for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to deploy better drone-tracking technology to identify the drones and their operators. The Senate bill would have also enhanced some federal agencies’ authority to act on drones, as well as started a pilot program to allow states and local authorities to disrupt, disable or seize a drone without prior consent of the operator. “This bill would ensure that law enforcement has the technology needed to quickly and clearly identify exactly what the reported sightings of drones across the country actually are,” said Sen. Gary Peters, a Michigan Democrat who sponsored the bipartisan bill. National security officials have said the drones don’t appear to be a sign of foreign interference or a public safety threat. But they can’t say with certainty who is responsible for the sudden swarms of drones over parts of New Jersey, New York and other eastern parts of the U.S. Some U.S. political leaders, including Trump, have called for much stronger action against the drones, including shooting them down. Paul, the Kentucky Republican who often advocates for limiting governmental powers, said that he was objecting because it is not clear there is a threat that warrants urgent action. He said the bill would “expand federal authority to intercept communications and disrupt drone activity — powers that raise serious concerns for Americans' privacy, civil liberties, and Fourth Amendment protections against unwarranted search and seizure.”
Heinrich Haarberg will continue to venture away from being a full-time quarterback, and it’s created an opening for Nebraska to pursue another arm out of the transfer portal. The NU coaching staff has “made a commitment to Heinrich that we would let him explore some other positions,” Matt Rhule said Wednesday. Haarberg was the Huskers’ starting quarterback for most of 2023 and has played sporadically this season. He relieved Dylan Raiola when he was injured against UCLA and has added a wrinkle to Nebraska’s offense as an occasional running threat and gadget player. It leaves the Huskers’ quarterback room in flux with freshman Daniel Kaelin entering the portal and Jalyn Gramstad’s future uncertain. Four-star prospect TJ Lateef will soon join the team and an already-young position group. “If we need to get a third guy to be in that room, then we would do it,” Rhule said. “We probably will, and Heinrich obviously gives us some flexibility.” People are also reading... Rhule works through roster trim In recent days, players have walked into Matt Rhule’s office, asking for help with the next stage of their football careers. Parents have texted him as they try to guide their kids through an unprecedented time in college sports. Next season, football rosters will be limited to 105 players. Nebraska, equipped with a robust walk-on program, will have to trim its roster. “We’ve got (general manager) Sean Padden in there making tapes for kids,” Rhule said. “I hate that. I hate that.” The evolution into a new era has already begun. Jimari Butler, James Williams and Princewill Umanmielen are among players planning to enter the transfer portal when it opens. With 20 new recruits joining the program, there are still lots dominoes left to fall over the offseason. “I tried to warn everyone there would be a lot of attrition and a lot of scary attrition, but it’s all part of what has to happen right now,” Rhule said. “I think as we move forward it’ll be a little bit more normalized ... but I’m just telling you this is like nothing we’ve ever seen before. It’s just completely different this year than it was.” Photos: Nebraska football vs. Iowa on Black Friday — Nov. 29 Nebraska players, including Jacob Hood (center), turn to wave during the "Hawkeye Wave" on Friday in Iowa City.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Former Temple basketball standout Hysier Miller sat for a long interview with the NCAA as it looked into concerns about unusual gambling activity, his lawyer said Friday amid reports a federal probe is now under way. “Hysier Miller fully cooperated with the NCAA’s investigation. He sat for a five-hour interview and answered every question the NCAA asked. He also produced every document the NCAA requested,” lawyer Jason Bologna said in a statement. “Hysier did these things because he wanted to play basketball this season, and he is devastated that he cannot.” Miller, a three-year starter from South Philadelphia, transferred to Virginia Tech this spring. However, the Hokies released him last month due to what the program called “circumstances prior to his enrollment at Virginia Tech.” Bologna declined to confirm that a federal investigation had been opened, as did spokespeople for both the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Philadelphia. ESPN, citing unnamed sources, reported Thursday that authorities were investigating whether Miller bet on games he played in at Temple, and whether he adjusted his performance accordingly. “Hysier Miller has overcome more adversity in his 22 years than most people face in their lifetime. He will meet and overcome whatever obstacles lay ahead," Bologna said. Miller scored eight points — about half his season average of 15.9 — in a 100-72 loss to UAB on March 7 that was later flagged for unusual betting activity. Temple said it has been aware of those allegations since they became public in March, and has been cooperative. “We have been fully responsive and cooperative with the NCAA since the moment we learned of the investigation,” Temple President John Fry said in a letter Thursday to the school community. However, Fry said Temple had not received any requests for information from state or federal law enforcement agencies. He vowed to cooperate fully if they did. “Coaches, student-athletes and staff members receive mandatory training on NCAA rules and regulations, including prohibitions on involvement in sports wagering," Fry said in the letter. The same week the Temple-UAB game raised concerns, Loyola (Maryland) said it had removed a person from its basketball program after it became aware of a gambling violation. Temple played UAB again on March 17, losing 85-69 in the finals of the American Athletic Conference Tournament. League spokesman Tom Fenstermaker also declined comment on Friday.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California, home to some of the largest technology companies in the world, would be the first U.S. state to require mental health warning labels on social media sites if lawmakers pass a bill introduced Monday. The legislation sponsored by state Attorney General Rob Bonta is necessary to bolster safety for children online, supporters say, but industry officials vow to fight the measure and others like it under the First Amendment. Warning labels for social media gained swift bipartisan support from dozens of attorneys general, including Bonta, after U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy called on Congress to establish the requirements earlier this year, saying social media is a contributing factor in the mental health crisis among young people.

So what, I would retort - to myself, of course – dismissing them as mere claims or simply bragging. My regard for such claims as lacking in modesty, and even meaning, still lingers, but not as strong as it used to be. Experience over the years has made me less definite about condemning others for boasting. Rwanda has taught me that there is something in the claims after all. In the last thirty years, I have seen a lot of genuine and consequential firsts that have softened my attitude and checked my indignant and curt retorts. The word ‘consequential’ is responsible for that thaw. These firsts have to be of consequence to earn that position. There have been quite a few of these in the last several years. Just last week, I came across another first for Rwanda. The New Times reported on Friday, December 20, that the construction of the country’s first social re-integration centre, commonly known as a “Halfway Home” is nearing completion and is expected to begin operation in February 2025. The Halfway Home is designed to assist inmates nearing the end of their sentence to reintegrate into the community, the paper reported. This in itself was good news and worth noting. But it was the report that this was the first in Africa that caught my attention. According to Therese Kubwimana, Acting Director of Public Relations and Media at the Rwanda Correctional Services (RCS), it is the first such facility on the continent. Many of you might have missed this Halfway Home ‘first’. It is not the sort of headline grabbing glamour news. Nor that of a global event that would have the whole world pay attention. It was local, about prisoners re-entering society. Not a big deal, even boring. It happens all the time everywhere. That was bound to happen, coming so soon after another first: the FIA General Assembly and Prize Giving ceremony in Kigali and President Paul Kagame’s official announcement of Rwanda’s bid to host Formula One Grand Prix. This had the glamour, global reach and headlines. It even drove some commentators into a frenzy. Some applauded but others, the usual crowd of naysayers, condemned. The Halfway Home was not such news. Yet it is one of the most consequential initiatives in creating a society that is whole, where even those who transgress and have been kept away from their communities can be helped to renter them as smoothly as possible. That may include learning about what has happened in their absence, how to live in normal society again, acceptance of what they have done, It is a good example of Rwanda’s approach to justice and crime and punishment.. Those who err are not treated as outcasts that must be shunned, but as citizens who went astray and can be helped to get back into the fold. That philosophy is reflected in the name of what in other places is called a prison service. Here it is a correctional service. Prisons are correctional centres. Inmates, persons to be rehabilitated. The Halfway Home is therefore the final stage on the rehabilitation journey. Of course, crime must be punished. First, because it is wrong and second, to deter others from committing them. Punishment, however, should not be retributive or intended to destroy, but corrective, meant to build. People who break the law are human beings and Rwandan citizens and cannot be disowned. Helping them to reintegrate into society is one way of reclaiming them and is a social responsibility. This idea of justice is not new in Rwanda. We saw it in the Gacaca courts that tried thousands of perpetrators of the genocide against the Tutsi in 1994. They had to answer for their crimes but also be helped to reconcile with society and live in it again as normal people. Perhaps this Halfway Home not being picked up by many, especially those who have made it their task to denounce every Rwandan initiative may not be a bad thing. It may not suffer the same barrage of denunciation as the F1 Grand Prix bid and other great things happening in this country. But do not count on it. Negative critics of most things Rwandan are not driven by real faults they find in them, but rather by a dislike for anything positive coming out of here and a desire to see the country remain poor and backward. For this they will invent any reason. The favourite one currently is the accusation that Rwanda does these things in order to wash its tarnished image. That image and its laundering, of course, only exist in their wishes. The treatment of prisoners as human beings deserving equal opportunity and not as criminals should actually earn praise, especially of the human rights brigade. But it won’t because it disproves their claims of mistreatment in our correctional centres. No matter. Rwandans do not need approval or validation of their choices.", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Joseph Rwagatare" }, "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "The New Times", "url": "https://www.newtimes.co.rw/", "sameAs": ["https://www.facebook.com/TheNewTimesRwanda/","https://twitter.com/NewTimesRwanda","https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuZbZj6DF9zWXpdZVceDZkg"], "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "/theme_newtimes/images/logo.png", "width": 270, "height": 57 } }, "copyrightHolder": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "The New Times", "url": "https://www.newtimes.co.rw/" } }
