Once inside his car, Price allegedly attempted to force a kiss on the woman and grabbed her throat when she pushed him away. Documents say the woman told police he became "incredibly angry," and his demeanor completely changed. According to documents, Price then drove the woman to a North Seattle parking lot and did "donuts" with his car before attempting to kiss her again.

The president has ordered federal lands and forests to be turned over to the logging industry to """protect our national security""" https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/03/trump-national-forest-executive-order The kicker is that he's using the pretense of it reducing fire risk, when in reality it's going to reduce the ability of forests to hold water and make those areas significantly drier. It's going to destroy those ancient ecosystems and they will be gone forever. Go while you still can!

Headed to Cozumel for 5 days soon and wondering if I should exchange some dollars to pesos or can I just do everything there with dinero Americano? Are there any risks or advantages to exchanging some or not exchanging? Yeah I know this sounds naive but I haven't been further than a couple of border towns in over 30 years.

Wally, I presume you shorted this one too? Cheeky bugger. Nickel trading will resume on the London Metal Exchange on Wednesday, over a week after being suspended amid a historic short squeeze, after the tycoon at the center of the crisis reached a deal with his banks. Xiang Guangda, whose large short position roiled the market last week, has secured a standstill agreement to avoid further margin calls, reducing the risk that the squeeze is repeated when the market reopens. In a notice to members on Monday evening, the LME said that bank support for Xiang’s Tsingshan Group Holding Co. “could suggest that the potential for further disorderly conditions may be mitigated.” https://finance.yahoo.com/news/lme-reopen-nickel-market-march-200706173.html ETA for a better link: Yet the day before, the market had started to unravel, with prices rising by a stunning 66% to $48,078. Now, the traders watched with a mixture of horror and grim fascination as the price went vertical. Already at an all-time high by 5:42 a.m., it lurched higher in stomach-churning leaps, soaring $30,000 in a matter of minutes. Just after 6 a.m., the price of nickel passed $100,000 a ton. The spike was driven in large part by a short squeeze centered on Chinese tycoon Xiang Guangda, who had amassed a big wager that nickel prices would fall through his company Tsingshan Holding Group Co. On Monday, a week after trading had been suspended, Tsingshan announced a standstill agreement from JPMorgan Chase & Co. and other banks that would allow it to maintain its short position. The LME said nickel trading would resume on Wednesday. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-14/inside-nickel-s-short-squeeze-how-price-surges-halted-lme-trading

Graduating this May moving back home for work. Only bars I've gone to are Kirby Icehouse and a couple random bars in Midtown. Where should I be going in Houston as a new grad? What places have good weekday or weekend specials? For reference, mainly looking at inner-loop and West Houston.

Austin Shuffield is his name. Bartender (well was) at High And Tight in Deep Ellum. This happened in Deep Ellum. I saw this video released a few nights ago and it has since blown up. Has gone viral all over the country. While he was in jail for the the little he was, his Facebook page was blasted. A lot of his page was public. His last post he made reached over 11,000 new comments since anyone could comment. They raided his whole Facebook page with comments.His friend list also went from over 900 friends to about 660 before he deactivated it. His bond was only $2,000. Seems low for having a gun in your hand and causing assault. Her lawyer and other activist groups and pushing for multiple felony counts being charged. Right now, it's just 3 misdemeanor charges. You can search his name Austin Shuffield and tons will pop up. The video released by the news stations is not the full video. It does not capture what happened leading up to him punching the shit out of her. The unedited version you can see the gun he had in his hand. This is the unedited version. Article below...

He's being called out for being a dirty old man: I felt him get closer to me from behind. He leaned further in and inhaled my hair. I was mortified. I thought to myself, “I didn’t wash my hair today and the vice-president of the United States is smelling it. And also, what in the actual fuck? Why is the vice-president of the United States smelling my hair?” He proceeded to plant a big slow kiss on the back of my head. My brain couldn’t process what was happening. I was embarrassed. I was shocked. I was confused. There is a Spanish saying, “tragame tierra,” it means, “earth, swallow me whole.” I couldn’t move and I couldn’t say anything. I wanted nothing more than to get Biden away from me. https://www.thecut.com/2019/03/an-awkward-kiss-changed-how-i-saw-joe-biden.html NOT SO FAST In a Medium post released late Sunday, Stephanie Carter addressed a viral photo in which Biden had his hands on her shoulders and appeared to be whispering in her ear during the swearing-in ceremony for her husband in 2015. “As the sole owner of my story, it is high time that I reclaim it — from strangers, Twitter, the pundits and the late-night hosts,” Carter wrote. “I won’t pretend that this will be the last of that picture, but it will be the last of other people speaking for me.” Carter said Biden had hugged her because he sensed she was “uncharacteristically nervous” and leaned in to thank her for letting her husband serve in the Obama administration. The then-vice president, she added kept his hands on her shoulders “as a means of offering his support”. “But a still shot taken from a video — misleadingly extracted from what was a longer moment between close friends — sent out in a snarky tweet — came to be the lasting image of that day,” Carter added. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2019/apr/01/donald-trump-latest-news-mueller-report-border-politics-live

https://www.foxnews.com/sports/nike-investigation-abuse-mary-cain-alberto-salazar Nike has announced an internal investigation into allegations of “emotional and physical abuse” leveled against disgraced world-class track and field coach Alberto Salazar this week in an op-ed by former Olympic hopeful Mary Cain. Cain, 23, opened up about the abuse she experienced after joining the Nike-backed running program “The Oregon Project” in 2013 in a video Op-Ed published in the New York Times. “I joined Nike because I wanted to be the best female athlete ever. Instead I was emotionally and physically abused by a system design by Alberto and endorsed by Nike.” Cain described how her “dream come true” quickly turned into a nightmare when, at just 16-years-old, she was body-shamed and pressured to be “thinner and thinner and thinner.” Not quite at the level of "Dirty old Bastard," but still.

Never travelled out of the US so doesn't know how to prepare for using foreign currency. She wants to know if she should load up on Brit coin here and take it? Exchange once there? What about fees etc.. for using her US debit card/credit card? Staying 7 days, also isn't sure about what that is going to cost if being done on a tight budget so thoughts on that would be appreciated too. TIA, no pics, big hoots.

At this point I think it is inevitable and possibly even can be accomplished without historic bloodshed as has happened before in large-scale American realignments. Sensible ex-Republicans like so many of y'all on this board join forces with centrist Dems for a moderate middle party. This would be the fulcrum. On the left you'd have the People's Party and on the right you'd have the "Patriots." Middle party has to make deals with these two -- hopefully, most of these would be with the left, as this People's Party would just be an irrational rage vehicle. I know there are a million hurdles in the way of this happening but again, what we have now is not sustainable. The divisions among the Dems are kind of dormant now, but they are almost as deep as those among the old GOP guard and the MAGATs, which is going full on Whig Supernova right now. Like slavery before it, the Internet is a stress test the Constitution is failing. It's fucking cliched as hell now, buuutttt: Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. I do believe you could have a party with both Mitch and Joe Biden on the same team. I would not be a member of that party, but I don't think it would be as bad a party as either partisan centrist Dems or partisan moderate Repubs fear. That's the strong principled party I'd like to see and snipe at from the left. And it would isolate and contain the CHUDS into a fringe party with almost no financial backing save what they could raise on their own.

Phil steel seems to think so. TX/OU at the top, with Iowa state and tcu following closely behind Phil seems to think tcu at 7 in vegas is a lock on the over. Also thinks Baylor is a lock at 8 wins. Baylor at 8 wins. Wow. Tech gets confused at 5 wins. Kansas teams win 6 combined. Okie light wins 6, maybe 7? Discuss.

The USL is adding promotion and relegation in two years. In addition, they are going to the proper soccer calendar of AUG-MAY. The USL final already drew better TV ratings than the MLS final. You can buy in to the semi-pro USL League 2 for $75,000 and work your way up to top flight soccer. With a $500M buy in to MLS, no owner wants to risk relegation. MLS will continue to try and fit a square NFL peg in an international soccer round hole and get left in the dust. Eric Wynalda has some good podcasts on it if you want a deep dive into the topic. They’re also on the Golz TV YouTube channel.

Ha. I just heard this on KLBJ. In HTown. http://abc13.com/hpd-officer-to-woman-pretend-like-were-going-to-shoot-you/3499764/ HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A viral video involving Houston police officers is now under investigation after an officer was recorded ordering four individuals to exit a vehicle. In a video recorded by Denee Harris, an officer can be heard over the loudspeaker saying, "Hands up! Put your hands up. Over your head! Pretend like we're going to shoot you." "Why would he say that?" Harris said in the video. Another officer confiscated one of the passenger's crutches, throwing it on the ground, and an officer can be seen driving the vehicle away from the scene. Harris is heard commenting in the video, and later told Storyful News, "I was so scared. I didn't know how it was going to end." The reason for the traffic stop and detentions were not immediately clear. HPD told Eyewitness News that they are aware of the video and are looking into the video and circumstances of it.

This cop is the rule not the exception. The victim's friend recorded the incident, but if you don't have a dash cam, you're an idiot. We focus a lot on death row cases (understandably so) but how many innocent people do you think went to jail or prison on smaller shit like this? I'm betting thousands upon thousands. An award-winning Louisiana sheriff's deputy won't face criminal charges for fabricating DUI arrest. A Louisiana sheriff found no criminal activity related to a deputy who fabricated facts on a police report to arrest a man for DUI two years ago. St. Tammany Parish sheriff's deputy Bryan "Ricky" Steinert admitted to cutting and pasting the facts from a previous arrest report to arrest a man named Ryan Held. And he would have gotten away with it had it not been for Ryan Held's friend who video recorded the traffic stop, showing Held flawlessly passing a field sobriety test. But Steinert claimed Held was unable to walk a straight line nor keep his balance when he was told to raise one foot, which was why he had to charge Held. And despite admitting to fabricating a report, which is against the law, St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Randy Smith allowed Steinert to resign on May 11, 2017. St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Randy Smith Less than a month later, he was hired by the Red River Parish Sheriff's Office, only to get fired in March 2018 after reports of his fabricated arrest surfaced, according to the Advocate. "I've never in my career had any write up or any disciplinary actions," Steinert had claimed in his job application to become a Red River Parish sheriff's deputy. Steinert's downfall began the night he pulled Heyd over on January 16, 2016. According to WWLTV.com: The video along with the fabricated report prompted District Attorney Warren Montgomery to drop the DUI charges against Heyd. It also led to an internal investigation within the department where Steinert admitted to fabricating the narrative in his report. But the sheriff found that his actions were not criminal and closed the investigation, allowing the deputy to resign in 2017. “We would have to look at it as a criminal matter to decide whether we were going to pursue charges or let another agency look at it so there's no conflict,” but Smith said that has not been done in the Steinert case, “I didn't see it as a criminal act. I'm the hiring and firing authority as the sheriff. I make those decisions to whether we open up an internal investigation.” The IA report ends by saying, "This case is considered closed." The district attorney has identified at least two dozen other cases that are now in jeopardy because of Steinert’s actions. Montgomery has since recused his office from the case and has forwarded the results of the investigation to the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office for review. Heyd has filed a federal lawsuit over his arrest claiming his civil rights were violated. Read more about that here. Steinert's aggressive and unlawful approach to law enforcement not only earned him a Deputy of the Year award in 2016, he was also featured on A&E reality TV show “Live PD” that same year. https://www.themaven.net/pinacnews/police-brutality/video-saves-man-from-false-dui-charges-deputy-admits-to-fabricating-report-Ab72nQBUnEOKZUeLtj4cbw/

Time for Herman to Crank up this Offensive....Just like BlowU Game Defense got exposed by Okie Lite. Wheeler & Locke were on the bench a lot during the final 3-4 games of B12 Season in 2017. Gonna need more points to beat West Virginia, Tech and Iowa State..... Part of Scipio's write-up discusses this below.... "If you're interesting in assessing primary blame as to why Texas lost in Stillwater, look to the defense and some key mistakes on special teams. Refer to that sentence if you mistake any criticisms here for a defense of the Texas defense. If you concede the defense struggled and want to win the game anyway by exploiting a vulnerable and coverage predictable Cowboy defense, the Texas offense has to learn not to waste possessions. Four of the first six UT first half possessions encompassed 14 plays for a total of 22 yards. Times of possession? 1:20, 1:02, 1:02, 1:04. Including three failed possessions in a row after a score on the opening series while running tempo. While Texas did score 14 first half points, they had the ball on 7 individual first half possessions starting at the UT24 or better. So now we need to factor in pace and opportunity. A score on 28.6% of possessions against a Big 12 average defense just won't cut it - particularly when five of those possessions were effectively useless and didn't alter field position positively. Our offense played OSU about as well as Kansas did. By trying to focus on "ball control" and putting a natural cap on our offensive production with the kinds of routes our WRs were running (look at the early low reward/high risk far hash routes we had Ehlinger throwing) and a running game less interested in potentially gashing OSU's run blitzes, but in grinding away 2-3 yards at a time, Texas prevented itself from keeping the ball (or scoring points) and exposed a hapless Texas defense again and again. Real ball control involves moving the ball. Not purposefully capping big play opportunity. And ball control shouldn't be your goal against a feast-or-famine defense to begin with. We seemed to get this against OU and forgot it against OSU. This was the kind of early grind approach Texas needed to avoid and that it happened while OSU was ringing up the Texas defense with 31 1st half points was unfortunate. The idea that Texas is good enough to manhandle an opponent at the point of attack and impose their will just doesn't hold up to the season evidence. When Texas took advantage of fine pass protection and threw the ball aggressively down the field, good things happened. Long gains, pass interference penalties and, yes, moments of an effective running game. It also opened up everything underneath. There's a tendency in analyzing close games to forget wasted early possessions as attention narrows on the 4th quarter and the final few possessions. 35 points should be enough to win a game in a vacuum and that's exactly the kind of platitude we tend to spout after a loss when we're (rightfully) pissed at the Longhorn defense, but it wasn't enough to win this game, against this opponent. And Texas was fully capable of scoring more than 35 points against this opponent. So evaluate them to that standard, not some notion of 1980s football. The final UT possession to narrow the lead to 3 points was also a frustrating rendition of the two minute drill. First, the QB should have more than one play at a time called so that they're not looking to the sideline and burning play clock. Second, you have to snap the moment you're set - particularly when the clock begins to run again after 1st down. Third, everyone has to run to get lined up. Fourth, 4-6 yard check downs in the middle of the field are fool's gold. You're playing clock, not the opponent. Any yardage gain less than 10 yards that doesn't go for a first down or doesn't end out bounds is a waste of opportunity and clock. You shouldn't even have a receiver standing there as an option unless the Cowboys have a ghost town in the middle of the field. They didn't. So you're effectively suckering your own QB. You also want to preserve time outs for the defense, so clock the ball rather than allow 25 seconds to tick off - you'll still have 3 downs. Texas burned 3:58 (we started with 5:44 on the clock) on that drive to go 75 yards and there were at least two instances where the play clock burned 20-25 seconds between plays. 3:58 represented UT's longest TOP for the game. By contrast, Texas's otherscoring drives were all 3:13 or less. Even one minute more on the clock means Texas doesn't have to onside kick (21% success rate) with sub 2:00 on the clock. Orlando's defense made that point moot, but I'd like to see the process played out correctly. "

Well, just a second there, professor. We, uh, we fixed the glitch. So he won't be receiving a paycheck anymore, so it'll just work itself out naturally.
