Appeals court sides with Justice Dept. in Trump lawyer fight

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:45:31 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal appeals court on Wednesday directed a lawyer for Donald Trump to turn over to prosecutors documents in the investigation into the former president’s retention of classified documents at his Florida estate.The order is reflected in a brief notice by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The case is sealed, and none of the parties in the dispute are mentioned by name.But the details appear to correspond with a closed-door fight before a lower court judge over whether M. Evan Corcoran could be forced to provide documents or give grand jury testimony in the Justice Department special counsel probe into whether Trump mishandled top-secret information at Mar-a-Lago.Last Friday, Beryl Howell, the outgoing chief judge of the U.S. District Court, directed Corcoran to answer additional questions before the grand jury.

Some pests are apparently making the Sunshine State their new home, and experts warn residents need to be careful and take steps to avoid exposure.Dr. Lawrence Reeves, a researcher at the University of Florida, said he and his team have discovered a new breed of mosquito.“It took us maybe a year or so to pin down what exactly this mosquito was,” he said. “This is a mosquito that looks similar to mosquitoes that already occur in the state, so like, on first pass, we didn’t think too much of it. We went back to look for some other mosquitoes out of that specimen samples and noticed these guys, noticed that the looked a little bit off from what we normally expect.”The population of this new type of mosquito, Culex lactator, is exploding. It has been detected in Miami-Dade County, as well as Lee and Collier counties. Reeves said these new mosquitoes could carry a wide array of diseases.“Dengue, chikungunya and zika, those are viruses that are all vect...

Dieselgate: Three-quarters of European diesel cars ‘likely’ to have emissions-cheating devices, study finds

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:45:31 GMT

Seventy-seven percent of European diesel-powered cars produce levels of emissions that indicate the presence of an emissions-cheating device, a report by the nonprofit International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) found.Using data from 1,400 official government tests under controlled settings, the study found that 77 percent of Euro 6 diesel cars (Euro 6 being the name of the current EU emissions rules) and 85 percent of the older Euro 5 vehicles have “suspicious” test results, showing excessive emissions.The amounts of nitrogen oxide emitted by these cars during testing, the report says, indicates “the likely use of a prohibited defeat device” — i.e. software allowing cars to momentarily turn on their pollution controls while being tested.“Extreme” emission levels were found in at least 40 percent of the tests, showing that the presence of a defeat device was “almost certain” in these cases, according to the NGO.The report esti...

Mild again Thursday with some showers

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:45:31 GMT

7Weather – It was another nice day for Southern New England- especially if you were farther inland! Two of our spots that have been cooler lately, were some of our mild areas today- Worcester and Fitchburg. An onshore wind coming off the 42° ocean water kept it cooler in Boston. The filtered sunshine we saw today will give way to more clouds overnight into tomorrow. The thickening cloud cover will keep temperatures mild in the low/mid 40s to start tomorrow morning. Grab the umbrella before you head out. A sprinkle is possible in the morning, with some isolated showers later in the day. Any amounts will stay light. There will be a lot of clouds around tomorrow. After the mild start, it won’t be hard to get temperatures to the upper 50s/near 60° with a breezy southwest wind. That wind direction coming off the chilly ocean water will keep the Cape cooler near 50° once again.Here’s what the timing of the showers looks like for tomorrow…Looking ahead, Friday is o...

Jarrett Allen and Caris LeVert were packaged together in the deal that brought James Harden to Brooklyn, ushering in a super team Nets era that came to an end at the Feb. 9 NBA Trade Deadline when the front office traded Kevin Durant to the Phoenix Suns.Allen and LeVert were also a package deal in the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 115-109 victory over the Nets on Tuesday, combining for 30 points and 16 rebounds to hand Brooklyn its fourth straight loss — with an encore matchup at Barclays Center on Thursday.LeVert and Allen both expressed gratitude to a Nets organization that laid the foundation for each to blossom into star players in Brooklyn before the 2021 deal that sent Allen to Cleveland and LeVert to the Indiana Pacers.The pair of ex-Nets also each felt empathy for a Sean Marks-led front office that went all-in on star power, only to come out on the other side with more drama than playoff series victories.“It was something. I didn’t expect it to end how it did,...
