Frank R. James, 62, was taken into custody about 30 hours after the carnage on a rush-hour train, which left five victims in critical condition and people around the city on edge. “My fellow New Yorkers, we got him,” Mayor Eric Adams said. James was awaiting arraignment on a charge that pertains to terrorist or other violent attacks against mass transit systems and carries a sentence of up to life in prison, Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said. In recent months, James railed in online videos about racism and violence in the U.S. and about his experiences with mental health care in New York City, and he had criticized Adams’ policies on mental health and subway safety.

Trump will headline an evening rally at the Delaware County Fairgrounds in Delaware, north of Columbus, on April 23 — certainly to stump for U.S. House candidate Max Miller, his pick for the 7th Congressional District, and perhaps for U.S. Senate or governor choices he is yet to make. The county, a GOP stronghold, appears to have been at least the Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose announced Tuesday that 71,296 absentee ballots have been requested so far by-mail or in-person, down more than 40% from the 171,954 that had been requested at this point four years ago. He said 11,935 votes have been cast statewide so far, less than a fifth of the 63,253 that had been cast at this point in 2018. The downturn follows a monthslong redistricting fight that had left the fate of the primary in limbo until the 11th hour, as well as amid Trump’s own continued questioning of the integrity of U.S. election systems and their role in a 2020 election he Trump team’s third choice. A fair board in Portage County — part of the Akron metro area where Miller is locked in a four-way primary — declined a permit request for the event, as did the fairgrounds in nearby Canfield. Incumbent U.S. Rep. Bob Gibbs withdrew from the 7th District race last week, making Miller an expected frontrunner. News of the rally comes as early voting figures suggest turnout in the populous Midwest battleground, which Trump won twice by more than 8 percentage points, may be severely depressed this year. falsely claims was stolen.

That was the question before the Ohio Supreme Court during a Wednesday hearing, as the court debates whether streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu are covered by a state law that would require them to pay to play. The argument is similar to one in several other states, where cities are trying to force streaming service companies to pay cable operator fees. At issue in Ohio is the state’s 2007 Video Service Authorization law, which directed the state Commerce Department to determine what entities must obtain permission to physically install cables and wires in a public right-of-way. Companies deemed video service providers must pay a fee to local governments under that law.

The state is siding with the streaming companies, contending that Ohio’s law only covers companies building infrastructure to carry cables. Attorneys for Maple Heights argue that nothing in the 2007 law requires a video service provider to own or physically access wireline facilities in public rights-ofway to be subject to video service provider fees. Without that equipment, streaming services “could not deliver their video programming to their subscribers,” Justin Hawal, an attorney representing Maple Heights, said in a December court filing. The “modest 5% video service fee” is not burdensome but instead represents a small return on billions of dollars in benefits that the streaming services receive nationwide from network infrastructure, Hawal said. Justices seemed skeptical of Maple Heights’ arguments, in particular questioning whether the argument was even one for the court to decide. Cleveland contend that streaming services are subject to the fee because their content is delivered via the internet over cables and wires. In Tennessee, the state Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments next month brought by Knoxville against Netflix and Hulu. A similar case brought by the city of Creve Coeur is pending in Missouri. In 2020, four Indiana cities sued Netflix, Disney, Hulu, DirectTV and Dish Network to require them to pay the same franchise fees to local governments that cable companies must pay. In related lawsuits brought in Arkansas, California, Nevada and Texas, Netflix and Hulu won their arguments last year that they can’t be treated the same as video providers. Streaming companies argue their distribution method is different from traditional video providers. They also say in the Ohio case, it’s up to the Commerce Department to label them a video service provider, a process they say can’t be done Though Trump endorsed Renacci in a failed bid to unseat Democratic U.S. Sen.

With a missed conversion attempt, the referee blew full time leaving the game tied at 12 apiece. In game two against Taylor, Spanish soccer convert Alberto Gonzalez Del Rio made a suberb hit on the opening kickoff only for the referee to deem it a high tackle and issue a yellow card.

He underwent surgery Watson in a stunning deal last month with the right after the season and Browns general manager Houston Texans, said the team was not upfront Andrew Berry publicly indicated the team was with him. planning to bring May“I feel disrespected 100% because I was told field back as the starter while privately investione thing and they completely did another,” May- gating whether to add Watson, accused by two dozen massage therapists in Texas of sexual assault and harassment. When Mayfield learned of the Browns’ interest, he demanded a trade. Watson, who initially turned down Cleveland, then changed his mind, waived his no-trade clause and signed a record-setting $230 million fully guaranteed contract. While still upset over the way it was handled, Mayfield, the No. 1 overall pick in 2018, said he’s at peace with his time with the Browns. “I really, truly honesty have no regrets of my time in Cleveland of what I tried to give that place,” he said. “True Clevelanders and true Browns fans know that, and that’s why I can walk away from the whole situation feeling like I did it.” Mayfield remains on Cleveland’s roster as the team tries to work out a trade. The tricky part for the Browns is that he’s due to make $18.8 million, and there aren’t many teams willing to take on that salary. As his performances worsened last season, the 26-year-old Mayfield acknowledged he spent too much time caring about how he was being treated. He said a break from social media helped, but it was hard to block out everything. Diamond Falcons broke once more with another 1-run inning in the bottom of the third.

The Dragons raced to a 7-0 lead within the first two minutes and a costly mistake by the Redstorm on the ensuing kickoff resulted in a loose pass which allowed Tiffin to increase its advantage to 12-0 at halftime. Rio Grande came out in the second half determined to finish the day with a sense of pride and its efforts were not in vain with Spiotti scoring and converting his own try to get the RedStorm within 12-7 in the closing minutes. Unfortunately, that’s how things would end up. “While the weather gave us all four seasons in one day, the experience and learning curve from this first-ever outing in 7’s rugby will only stand to help us prepare for our next tournament in two weeks time in Wabash, Indiana,” said Rio interim head coach Adrian Pilkington. Pilkington also wished to note that two Rio players — freshman Owenn Meyer (Filer, ID) and sophomore Kiah Smith (Millfield, OH) — also lined out for Ohio Northern University due to a shortage of players.

The mask mandate is the most visible vestige of government restrictions to control the pandemic, and possibly the most controversial. A surge of abusive and sometimes violent incidents on airplanes has been attributed mostly to disputes over maskwearing. Airlines have lobbied for months to kill the requirement, arguing that effective air filters on modern planes make transmission of the virus during a flight highly unlikely. Republicans in Congress also fought to kill the mandate. Critics have seized on the fact that states have rolled back rules requiring masks in restaurants, stores and other indoor settings, and yet COVID19 cases have fallen sharply since the omicron variant peaked in mid-January. “It is very difficult to understand why masks are still required on airplanes, but not needed in crowded bars and restaurants; in packed sports arenas; in schools full of children; or at large (740) 992-2155 or fax to (740) 992-2157 www.mydailysentinel.com • gdtclassifieds@aimmediamidwest.com gdtlegals@aimmediamidwest.com (304) 675-1333 or fax to (304) 675-5234 Application Received for Air Permit General James M.

The conflict has killed untold numbers of Ukrainian civilians and forced millions more to flee. The fighting has also rattled the world economy, threatened global food supplies and shattered Europe’s post-Cold War balance. A day after he called Russia’s actions in Ukraine “a genocide,” Biden approved $800 million in new military assistance to Ukraine, saying weapons from the west have sustained Ukraine’s fight so far and “we cannot rest now.” The weapons include including artillery systems, armored personnel carriers and helicopters. Appearing alongside Zelenskyy in an ornate room in Kyiv’s historical Mariinskyi Palace on Wednesday, the European leaders — Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda, Estonian President Alar Karis, Poland’s Andrzej Duda and Egils Levits of Latvia — reiterated their commitments to supporting Ukraine politically and with military aid. “We know this history. We know what Russian occupation means. We know what Russian terrorism means,” Duda said. He said those who committed war crimes as well as those who gave the orders should be held accountable. “If someone sends aircraft, if someone sends troops to shell residential districts, kill civilians, murder them, this is not war,” he said. “This is cruelty, this is banditry, this is terrorism.” An expert report commissioned by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe found “clear patterns of (international humanitarian law) violations by the Russian forces in their conduct of hostilities.” The report was written by experts selected by Ukraine and published Wednesday by the Vienna-based organization that promotes security and human rights. The report said there were also violations by Ukraine, but concluded those committed by Russia “are by far larger in scale and nature.” Ukraine has previously acknowledged that there could be “isolated incidents” of violations and has said it would investigate. Russian President Vladimir Putin has denied his troops committed atrocities, and on Tuesday insisted Russia “had no other choice” but to invade. He said the offensive aimed to protect people in parts of eastern Ukraine and to “ensure Russia’s own security.” He vowed it would “continue until its full completion and the fulfillment of the tasks that have been set.” He insisted Russia’s campaign was going as planned despite a major withdrawal after its forces failed to take the capital and suffered significant losses. Following those setbacks, Russian troops are now gearing up for a major offensive in the eastern Donbas region, where Moscow-allied separatists and Ukrainian forces have been fighting since 2014, and where Russia has recognized the separatists’ claims of independence. �œ˜˜¦š“¤® Photos by Southern FFA | Courtesy Students interacted with many different animals at the petting Students saw chicks hatching in the livestock class. zoo.

They weren’t authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity. James was gone when officers arrived, but they soon spotted him on a busy corner nearby.

Daily Sentinel Gene Salem Senior Center: Tuesday, April 19th (101 Second Street, Point Pleasant, WV) was in handcuffs as a crowd of people looked on, witness Aleksei Korobow said. Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said authorities “were able to shrink his world quickly.” “There was nowhere left for him to run,” she said. The day before, James set off smoke grenades in a commuter-packed subway car and then fired at least 33 shots with a 9 mm handgun, police said. Police Chief of Detectives James Essig said police were told that after James opened one of the smoke grenades, a rider asked, “What did you do?” “Oops,” James said, then went on to brandish his gun and open fire, according to a witness account. At least a dozen people who escaped gunshot wounds were treated for smoke inhalation and other injuries. As terrified riders fled the attack, James apparently hopped another train — the same one many were steered to for safety, police said. He got out at the next station, disappearing into the nation’s most populous city. The shooter left behind numerous clues, including the gun, ammunition magazines, a hatchet, smoke grenades, gasoline and the key to a U-Haul van. That key led investigators to James. Federal investigators determined the gun used in the shooting was purchased by James at a pawn shop — a licensed firearms dealer — in the Columbus, Ohio, area in 2011. The van was found, unoccupied, near a station where investigators determined the gunman had entered the subway system. No explosives or firearms were found in the van, a law enforcement official who wasn’t authorized to comment on the investigation and did so on the condition of anonymity told The Associated Press. Police did find other items, including pillows, suggesting he may have been sleeping or planned to sleep in the van, the official said. Investigators believe James drove up from Philadelphia on Monday and have reviewed surveillance video showing a man matching his physical description coming out of the van early Tuesday morning, the official said. Other video shows James entering a subway station in Brooklyn with a large bag, the official said.
