WASHINGTON , Dec. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NASA Administrator Bill Nelson will fly in aircraft manufacturer Electra's EL2 Goldfinch experimental prototype aircraft on Sunday, Dec. 8 . Members of the media are invited to speak with Nelson and Electra leaders just prior to the flight at 11:45 a.m. EST at Manassas Regional Airport in Manassas, Virginia . Electra designed the experimental aircraft with the goals of reducing emissions and noise and connecting new locations for regional air travel, including underserved communities. Media will be able to view and film the flight, which is set to feature ultra-short takeoffs and landings with as few as 150 feet of ground roll. The flight also is set to include a battery-only landing. Media interested in participating must RSVP to Rob Margetta at robert.j.margetta@nasa.gov . NASA's aeronautics research works to develop new generations of sustainable aviation technologies that will create new options for both U.S. passengers and cargo. Agency-supported research aims to provide industry providers like Electra, and others, data that can help inform the designs of innovative, greener aircraft with reduced operating costs. NASA investments have included projects that explore electrified aircraft technologies, and work that helped refine the electric short-takeoff and landing concept. The agency's work with private sector aviation providers helps NASA in its effort to bring sustainable solutions to the American public. In November, NASA selected Electra as one of five recipients of its Advanced Aircraft Concepts for Environmental Sustainability 2050 awards, through which they will develop design studies and explore key technologies to push the boundaries of possibility for next-generation sustainable commercial aircraft. These new studies will help the agency identify and select promising aircraft concepts and technologies for further investigations. https://www.nasa.gov/aeronautics/ View original content to download multimedia: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/nasa-invites-media-to-administrator-flight-in-electra-hybrid-electric-aircraft-302324434.html SOURCE NASA

Cooperation or Competition? On Nov. 7, Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory message to President-elect Trump that said: “A stable, healthy, sustainably developing China-US relationship fits with the common interests of the two countries and with the expectations of international society. I hope the two sides will keep to the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation, strengthen channels of dialogue, improve control over differences, expand mutually beneficial cooperation, and move down the road of correctly getting along in a new period, with prosperity for both countries and benefits to the world.” Subsequently, other Chinese sources, as well as Xi in his final meeting with President Biden at the APEC summit on Nov. 16, repeated this line of thought: China wants more rather than less cooperation with the US. An article in the People’s Daily the day after Xi’s message by Zhong Sheng (The Bell), an authoritative editorial collective, reinforced it, saying: “Win-win cooperation is the trend of the times and should be the bottom line of China-US relations.” The writers reminded readers of China-US economic interdependence: “Today, China is the third-largest export market for U.S. goods, and the US is China’s third-largest trading partner. Over 70,000 US companies invest and operate in China, and exports to China alone support 930,000 US jobs. Last year, 1,920 new US companies were established in China, and 80 percent of US companies in China plan to reinvest their profits this year.” The commentary cited achievements of China-US cooperation in diplomacy, finance, climate change, and military-to-military communication. Thus, wrote Zhong Sheng, “whether promoting world economic recovery or resolving international and regional hotspot issues, China-US coordination and cooperation are needed.” Coordination and cooperation are very unlikely to be realized, however, because of probably insuperable obstacles each country has set. The second Trump administration will not merely reject engagement, as Biden’s did; this time around, relations with China will be on a much steeper slope. Under Trump, we will no longer hear about “managing” relations or looking for shared interests. US officials are unlikely to repeat promises to China to uphold the One-China policy and not seek to change China’s system. Stabilizing the US-China relationship, which drew praise from Xi at his final meeting with Biden — "The [China-US] relationship has remained stable on the whole,” Xi said — will no longer be important to Washington. There are several already clear reasons for this conclusion: Trump’s announced determination to impose very high tariffs on Chinese goods, his appointment of China hawks to key national security positions, the bipartisan hostility toward China in Congress, China’s high unfavorable rating in American public opinion, and the advice Trump has received from previous appointees in the Project 2025 report. Moreover, as I discuss below, Trump, unlike Biden, will not be distracted from his China policy by overseas conflicts. As for China, the emphasis on points of actual and potential collaboration with the US is just one piece of its America policy. Xi qualifies cooperation in important ways — by saying that the US must have a “correct strategic perception” of China, must adhere to the three principles mentioned in Xi’s message to Trump, and must choose between “partnership or rivalry.” Those qualifications aim at specific elements of US policy: security alliances directed at the “China threat,” military and political support of Taiwan, and denial of semiconductor and other high-tech exports to China. US presidents, Donald Trump least of all, have not been moved by appeals to principle. Nor have they been open to “correcting” their perceptions of China to suit Beijing. Nevertheless, it is worth examining where room for a China-US deal might exist. A major caveat is in order, however: We have to recognize that Donald Trump’s modus operandi centers, as Bob Woodward has said in his various books on Trump, on fear and winning. In Trump’s transactional framework, the “art of the deal” is to instill fear in the opponent, never fold, and focus on winning. And winning means getting a “good return on investment,” not compromising for short-term gain and most certainly not hoping to promote trust. In his first administration, Trump had to deal with advisers who were not all in on Trump’s style — policy managers who valued diplomacy as an alternative to confrontation. Now, with few guardrails to restrain Trump, he will dominate the policy making scene as never before. His appointments of loyalists, some of whom are viscerally hostile to China and others of whom are vastly inexperienced, virtually ensure that Trump’s word will be unquestioningly followed. We have three early signs of the China hawks’ intentions. In the House of Representatives, the Republicans’ “China Week” agenda — an agenda put forward in October 2024 that basically calls for decoupling from China in multiple ways, including in trade, investment, educational exchanges, and scientific collaboration — is being readied for approval with some Democrats’ support. And the bipartisan U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission’s annual report to Congress recommends even more provocative steps, such as revoking China’s bilateral free trade privileges; barring the import of technologies from China; and creating a Manhattan Project to achieve artificial intelligence capable of surpassing human cognition. A third sign comes from Project 2025, which Trump has disavowed even though many of its authors once worked for him. Among them are Kiron K. Skinner, who labels China "the defining threat"; Christopher Miller, who writes that China is “a challenge to American interests across the domains of national power" and an imminent threat to Taiwan; and Peter Navarro, author of books on the China threat. Navarro’s Project 2025 chapter includes this warning: “The clear lesson learned in both the Obama and Trump Administrations is that Communist China will never bargain in good faith with the U.S. to stop its aggression. An equally clear lesson learned by President Trump, which he was ready to implement in a second term, was that the better policy option was to decouple both economically and financially from Communist China as further negotiations would indeed be both fruitless and dangerous ... ” What might a good return on investment look like to Trump? Since his top priority is trade, he would aim at a major increase in Chinese purchases of US goods to reduce the trade deficit (even though that didn’t work the first time around) and improved conditions for US investments, all while retaining sharp restrictions on advanced technology exports to China. In return, Trump might be willing to lower US tariffs on Chinese imports. He also might induce Xi by promising to reduce US arms aid and high-level visits to Taiwan, though he might get pushback from strongly pro-Taiwan officials such as Marco Rubio (nominated for secretary of state) and Mike Waltz (nominated for national security adviser). Trump would be far less interested in making a deal on China’s military aid to Russia, climate change, scientific and other exchanges, or human rights. Some of those issues are important to some Republicans, but they rank low (if at all) among Trump’s priorities. Nor would strategic issues that have bipartisan and Pentagon concern necessarily get Trump’s attention: the South China Sea disputes (including protection of Philippines ships), US security coalitions in Asia (the Quad and AUKUS), and competition with China in the Pacific island microstates. In Trump’s mind, these involvements soak up US resources and risk unacceptable levels of commitment. But they could be bargaining chips. Trump might be willing to backtrack on US security commitments in Asia, bilateral and multilateral, if a winning commercial deal proved attainable. If the "art of a deal" proves illusory, Trump may seek to weaponize tariffs. But China might, as happened in Trump’s first term, prefer a trade war to giving in to Trump's demands. In my previous writings , I offered several reasons why the threat of very high US tariffs will not work with the Chinese. They're ready this time, and have already taken measures to deal with the tariff threat, such as by shifting export markets to the Global South and Europe. We’re at a point in US-China relations where deal making is going to be very difficult even in the best of circumstances. Mutual trust is very low, and once Trump takes over, initiatives to “get along,” as the Chinese say, will not be offered. Consequently, it will not take much to derail diplomacy altogether, as happened after the spy balloon incident in February 2023 or, in November 2024, China’s rejection of a meeting between defense ministers because (China said) of a US arms sale to Taiwan. Chinese proposals for deeper cooperation will be used to demonstrate that they are the reasonable party and that the Americans are as unpredictable as they are untrustworthy. And China will use that argument to try driving a wedge between the US and its allies in the European Union and East Asia.

NEW YORK (AP) — The man accused of burning a woman to death inside a New York City subway train used a shirt to fan the flames, a prosecutor said Tuesday at his arraignment on murder charges. Sebastian Zapeta, 33, who federal immigration officials said is a Guatemalan citizen who entered the U.S. illegally, was not required to enter a plea and did not speak at the hearing in Brooklyn criminal court. Zapeta, wearing a white jumpsuit over a weathered black hooded sweatshirt, will remain jailed at the city's Rikers Island complex and is due back in court on Friday. His lawyer did not ask for bail. Zapeta is charged with two counts of murder, accusing him of intentionally killing the woman and killing her while committing arson. He is also charged with one count of arson. The top charge carries a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole. Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez called the attack a “gruesome and senseless act of violence” and said it would be “met with the most serious consequences.” The apparently random attack occurred Sunday morning on an F train that was stopped at the Coney Island station. The victim's identification is still pending. Authorities say Zapeta approached the woman, who may have been sleeping in the train, and set her clothing on fire with a lighter. Zapeta then fanned the flames with a shirt, engulfing her in fire, Assistant District Attorney Ari Rottenberg said in court Tuesday. Zapeta then sat on a bench on the subway platform and watched, Rottenberg said. According to Rottenberg, Zapeta told detectives that he didn’t know what happened but identified himself in images of the attack. Zapeta's lawyer, public defender Andrew Friedman, did not speak to reporters after the arraignment. A message seeking comment was left for him. Video on social media appears to show some people looking on from the platform and at least one police officer walking by while the woman is on fire inside the train. NYPD Transit Chief Joseph Gulotta said Sunday that several officers responded to the fire and one stayed to keep the crime scene “the way it’s supposed to be" while the others went to get fire extinguishers and transit workers. “Officers who were on patrol on an upper level of that station smelled and saw smoke and went to investigate. What they saw was a person standing inside the train car fully engulfed in flames,” Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said. They eventually put the fire out, but “unfortunately, it was too late,” Tisch said, and the woman was pronounced dead at the scene. Zapeta was taken into custody Sunday afternoon while riding a train on the same subway line after teenagers recognized him from images circulated by the police. A Brooklyn address for Zapeta released by police matches a shelter that provides housing and substance abuse support. The shelter did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Federal immigration officials said Zapeta was deported in 2018 but later reentered the U.S. illegally. The crime deepened a growing sense of unease among some New Yorkers about the safety of the subway system, amplified by graphic video of the attack that ricocheted across social media. Overall, crime is down in the transit system compared to last year. Major felonies declined 6% between January and November compared to the same time period last year, according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. But murders are up, with nine killings this year through November compared to five during the same period last year. There have also been several high-profile incidents, including one in September where police inadvertently shot two bystanders and a fellow officer when they opened fire on a man holding a knife in front of a train. Earlier this month, a Manhattan jury acquitted former Marine Daniel Penny in the chokehold death last year of an agitated subway rider. The case became a flashpoint in debates over safety, homelessness and mental illness on the system. Policing the subway is difficult, given the vast network of trains moving between 472 stations. Each stop contains multiple entry points and, in many stations, multiple floors and platforms. This story has been corrected to show that the name of Zapeta's lawyer is Andrew Friedman, not Ed Friedman.Kundi sees governance failure in KP
Alex Ovechkin is expected to miss 4 to 6 weeks with a broken left legBLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana closed out a historic regular season with a record-setting performance. Now, the 10th-ranked Hoosiers must play the waiting game to see if they will be in the College Football Playoff mix. Kurtis Rourke threw two of his record-tying six touchdown passes to Elijah Sarratt, Justice Ellison and Ty Son Lawton each ran for scores and the Hoosiers routed rival Purdue 66-0 to reclaim the Old Oaken Bucket — and perhaps clinch a playoff spot Saturday. “It’s been a great season, these guys have had a lot of success, the leadership has been great and it’s been a great year for Indiana,” coach Curt Cignetti said. “We’re not finished yet and we’re not satisfied.” When Cignetti was asked if Indiana earned a playoff spot, he added: “Yeah, absolutely.” Indiana (11-1, 8-1 Big Ten) extended its single-season school record for wins with No. 11 by handing Purdue its most lopsided loss in the 125-game series, breaking the previous mark of 52-7 in 1988. It was also Indiana’s largest home win in the series, surpassing the 37-0 victory in 1917 and the largest league win in school history. The only blemish: Indiana was eliminated from the Big Ten championship game when No. 4 Penn State 44-7 beat Maryland earlier in the day.

Credit: AP/Darron Cummings But that didn’t tarnish the celebration for the team with the most losses in FBS competition at 714. “It was a pretty dominant win,” Cignetti said. “I thought we really played well on defense and we missed some opportunities on offense, but it’s a rivalry game.” Purdue (1-11, 0-9) closed the season with another ugly chapter. The Boilermakers lost their last 11 games, suffered three shutouts and six losses of 35 or more points, including Saturday’s — the most lopsided loss in Purdue history, breaking the 66-7 mark set earlier this season.

Credit: AP/Darron Cummings Purdue went winless in league play for the fourth time since 1946, failed to beat an FBS foe for just the second time in college football’s modern era and was shut out by Indiana for the first time since 1945. The cold, snowy conditions that forced field crew members to use leaf blowers to clear the hash marks and yard lines during the first half only made the sting of this loss worse. “It was the worst performance offensively that I’ve ever seen,” embattled Purdue coach Ryan Walters said. “We couldn’t do anything. I didn’t see this coming. I thought we had a good week of practice, but when we play top-10 teams, we see how far we have to go.” Ellison's 2-yard run midway through the first quarter gave Indiana the lead. The Hoosiers made it 28-0 with three second-quarter scores — a 14-yard pass from Rourke to Ke'Shawn Williams, an 84-yard TD pass from Rourke to Elijah Sarratt and Lawton's 4-yard run. The Boilermakers never recovered. Rourke was 23 of 31 with 349 yards, becoming the third Indiana player with six TD passes in a game. Sarratt caught eight passes for 165 yards as Indiana outgained Purdue 582-67 in total yards. Boilermakers quarterback Hudson Card was 6 of 13 with 35 yards and one interception. He did not play in the second half. Takeaways Purdue: The Boilermakers added another miserable memory to maybe the worst season in school history: Giving away the Old Oaken Bucket. Now the questions begin. What went wrong? What can be fixed? Will coach Ryan Walters return for his third season? Indiana: The Hoosiers rebounded from their first loss with another good showing. Indiana fixed the blocking miscues that plagued it the previous two weeks and even though the Hoosiers fell just short of playing for a Big Ten title, they still hope to be among the expanded playoff field. Poll implications The zaniness of rivalry week could push Indiana up a few spots, though they're more interested in seeing where the playoff selection committee puts the Hoosiers. Up next Purdue: Winter workouts and spring practice. Indiana: Waits to find out its next opponent and word from the CFP committee.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Colorado secured what it said was record insurance coverage for quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter as the star duo opted to complete their college careers in the Alamo Bowl rather than sit out and prepare for the NFL draft. Colorado would not disclose the amount of insurance coverage each received, citing privacy laws. Coach Deion Sanders and athletic director Rick George both said it was the largest in college football history. “We happen to have two players that are probably going to be the first two picks of the NFL draft,” Sanders said Monday. “We all know who those two are and they have received, I think, the highest number of coverage that has ever been covered in college football. It far exceeds anyone that has ever played this game of college football.” While college programs maintain insurance policies for their athletes in case of injury, Colorado increased disability coverage for its entire roster in the Alamo Bowl. Sanders, the coach of the No. 20 Buffaloes, ensured his QB son and two-way star Hunter received larger policies since both are expected to be among the top 10 selections in the upcoming NFL draft. “It was his idea we should get disability insurance for our athletes for this game to ensure that they played and if there was some kind of injury that they would be well taken care of," George said. “So, we worked together on that. We’re excited about it. We think it’s great that all our players are playing in the game. That’s what all bowl games should be like.” Colorado (9-3, No. 23 CFP) will face the 17th-ranked BYU Cougars (10-2, No. 17 CFP) in the Alamo Bowl on Saturday. While most teams are scrambling with starters opting out of bowl games this year to enter the transfer portal or NFL draft, the Buffaloes did not lose any player on their two-deep roster. “It’s more than what I got (when he played at Kansas State),” Colorado linebackers coach Andre’ Hart said. “They gave us a helmet and said pop this on your leg and get out there and play. For them to get that (increased insurance coverage), I just think it’s beneficial. To talk about where the game is, where it’s going and how leadership is taking care of the players, I thought that’s excellent.” Shedeur Sanders completed 337 of 454 passes for 3,926 yards and 35 touchdowns this season. Many scouting services have Sanders rated as the top quarterback in this year's draft. Hunter received the Heisman Trophy as a two-way standout at cornerback and wide receiver. He had 92 receptions for 1,152 yards and 14 touchdowns and as a cornerback had four interceptions, broke up 11 passes and limited the opposition to 22 receptions on 688 defensive snaps. “They’ve taken care of us, everybody,” Colorado running back Micah Welch said. “It really means a lot to have every teammate up here. That's a big thing. What I like about Coach Prime, they’re taking care of us.” Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

One key policy initiative to watch in 2024 is the ongoing implementation of the "Long-Term Rental Apartments" program, which aims to increase the supply of affordable rental housing in major cities. Under this program, developers are incentivized to build rental properties with long-term leases and reasonable rents, providing more options for tenants in need of affordable housing. As this program continues to roll out across China, we can expect to see a significant impact on the rental market in the coming years.
