Passenger shot and killed Uber driver she believed was taking her to Mexico, police say

0

A woman accused of fatally shooting her Uber driver in Texas after falsely believing she was being driven to Mexico against her will has been charged with murder, authorities said.

Phoebe D. Copas, 48, of Tompkinsville, Kentucky, remained in El Paso County jail following her arrest June 16, the day the driver was shot, according to El Paso police and county jail records.

The family of driver Daniel Piedra Garcia, 52, said he was taken off life support Wednesday, NBC affiliate KTSM of El Paso reported.

Though Copas was initially booked on suspicion of aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury, the case was upgraded to murder after the driver died this week, according to police and jail records. Bond for Copas was increased from $1 million to $1.5 million.

An attorney assigned to defend Copas did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Detectives believe Copas was in El Paso to visit her boyfriend, according to a complaint affidavit obtained by KTSM. She was in the backseat of the Uber en route to meet him at a casino when she saw roadway signs stating “Juarez, Mexico,” which is across the border from El Paso, according to the affidavit.

Believing she was being kidnapped and taken to Mexico, Copas shot the driver, causing the vehicle, a Nissan Maxima, to strike a highway barrier and come to a stop along U.S. 54 South, police said.

Copas did not call authorities before shooting, and she didn’t summon help immediately after opening fire, the document states.

Rather, she took a photo of the injured driver and texted it to her boyfriend, detectives said in the affidavit. Then she called for help, the document states.

The boyfriend, who was not identified, went to the scene and was there as police arrived, according to the affidavit.

First responders arrived to find Piedra bleeding profusely from the back of his head, the affidavit stated. He was hospitalized in critical condition.

Multiple shots had been fired, the document states, and after Copas exited the Nissan she dropped everything she was holding, including a handgun.

“The investigation does not support that a kidnapping took place or that Piedra was veering from Copas’ destination,” police said.

In a statement about the case, Uber said it would cooperate with investigators should its help be needed, and added that it has been in touch with the driver’s loved ones.

“We are horrified by the rider’s actions,” it said.

Ana Piedra, the victim’s wife, wrote in a GoFundMe set up to help with hospital and funeral expenses that her husband was their household’s sole provider.

After doctors expressed zero hope he would survive, Daniel Piedra was disconnected from life support, she stated on the fundraising page, which was verified by the site.

Didi Lopez, the victim’s niece, told KTSM her uncle was not a criminal or a kidnapper.

“It’s so easy to go make your assumptions and just make up scenarios. But that’s not who he is,” she said. “He’s a hardworking man.”

A bond hearing was scheduled Thursday, according to a court docket for the case.

Joe Biden to announce $40B to boost high-speed Internet across U.S.

0

President Joe Biden will announce Monday the allocation of $40 billion in federal funds to distributed to states in an effort to expand high-speed Internet to every nook of the country by 2030.

The announcement will kick off a three-week “investing in America” push by the administration, in which officials will make numerous public appearances to tout the ongoing impact of Biden’s legislative agenda, including massive infrastructure projects across the nation.

About 8.5 million homes and businesses nationwide do not have Internet access, the White House said.

The newest funding will go to states with the most need as part of the Broadband Equity Access and Deployment Program — a major provision of Biden’s $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Law of 2021, in which each state could receive $100 million or more from the government to boost connectivity.

The White House said it plans to release the dollar amounts that each qualifying state could receive.

To get the funds, states will need to submit blueprints to the Commerce Department by December, explaining how the money will be spent.

State and local governments would next submit their plans to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, which would begin distributing the funds next spring.

States won’t get all the money right away, with the government allocating only 20% of the infrastructure funds during this first round of payouts as part of an 18-month rollout that will continue through the end of 2025.

The administration said it will allocate the funds using updated broadband coverage maps as more than 1 million new coverage locations have come online nationwide in the past year.

Administration officials sought to compare Biden’s efforts to the sweeping actions of the 32nd U.S. president during the Depression era.

“Just like Franklin Delano Roosevelt delivered electricity to every home in America through his Rural Electrification Act, the announcement is part of President Biden’s broader effort to deliver investments, jobs, and opportunities directly to working and middle-class families across the country,” the White House said in a Monday statement.

Earlier this month, the government announced $930 million in new infrastructure projects that aim to “close the digital divide for everyone in America” by expanding middle mile high-speed Internet infrastructure across 35 states and Puerto Rico.

The White House also launched a program to help more people, including families in the poorest sectors of the country, afford Internet access.

The Online For All campaign will feature grass-roots organizations and corporate entities working with the Department of Education to help families pay monthly Internet service costs as “research indicates that approximately half of the remaining qualified Americans are not aware of the program,” the White House said previously.

In February, Vice President Kamala Harris called high-speed Internet a “basic necessity” in announcing a $175 million fund in helping secure Internet access at the nation’s 61 Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

Altogether, the Biden administration expects to spend more than $90 billion to expand affordable Internet access, with another $25 billion provided through the American Rescue Plan to boost connectivity in many economically challenged regions.

4 volunteer crew members begin 378-day stay inside 1,700 square foot habitat at Johnson Space Center

0

Starting Sunday night, a team of four volunteers will spend the next year inside a 1,700 square foot 3-D printed habitat at Johnson Space Center.

The team is simulating what it would be like to live on the planet Mars, and they started their adventure just after 6:30 p.m. Houston time.

So, what’s this for?

Four intrepid scientists began their year-long mission, living as if on Mars so that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, could learn about how humans would fare during extended space travel.

Among the challenges to rehearse? The distance between the planets-which averages roughly 140 million miles.

“When we go to Mars someday, there’s going to be up to a 22-minute delay each way,” Dr. Suzanne Bell, a Behavior Health and Performance Laboratory lead at Johnson Space Center, said.

“So Mission Control won’t even hear about a problem until 22 minutes after it’s occurred. This requires the crew to work with unparalleled levels of autonomy, and they’ll have to problem solve on their own,” she said. “They’ll have to determine what they elevate back to Mission Control and wait 44 minutes for the response. And so that’s exactly one of the things we’re trying to replicate.”

The experiment is called CHAPEA, which stands for Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog. Bell says they were very selective in who they chose for the mission, as nearly 4,000 people applied. But only four will live in isolation for a year.

“We’ve specifically chosen people that we hope to succeed together very carefully screened, and really clear that they have the ability to work on teams,” Bell said. “And so our objectives are really about optimizing that human health and performance.”

Un robot está peinando el fondo del mar en busca de restos de la implosión del submarino Titán mientras comienza una investigación multinacional

0

Un robot está peinando el fondo del mar en busca de restos de la implosión fatal del sumergible Titán mientras las autoridades de EE.UU. y Canadá desvían su atención de la búsqueda y el rescate a la investigación de lo que condujo al desastre marítimo y buscan establecer si se violó alguna ley.

La Guardia Costera de EE.UU. convocó a una Junta de Investigación Marina para investigar la implosión, el “más alto nivel de investigación que lleva a cabo la Guardia Costera”, anunció este domingo el investigador jefe de la Guardia, el capitán Jason Neubauer.

La junta trabajará para determinar la causa de la implosión catastrófica y las muertes, así como para hacer recomendaciones “para aplicar sanciones civiles o penales según sea necesario”, dijo Neubauer.

Por ahora, los investigadores están dando prioridad a la recuperación de escombros del lecho marino. Los expertos militares encontraron restos del sumergible a unos 500 metros de la proa del Titanic el pasado jueves, dijo anteriormente la Guardia Costera de EE.UU.

“Mi objetivo principal es evitar que ocurra algo similar haciendo las recomendaciones necesarias para mejorar la seguridad del dominio marítimo en todo el mundo”, dijo Neubauer este domingo.

La operación de salvamento se produce cuando quedan dudas sobre el diseño del sumergible, los materiales utilizados en su construcción, qué causó la implosión y cuándo ocurrió exactamente.

El Titán llevaba 1 hora y 45 minutos en su descenso hacia los restos del Titanic en el fondo del océano el domingo antepasado cuando perdió el contacto con su nave nodriza, lo que dio inicio a una operación multinacional de búsqueda y rescate de un día de duración en el Atlántico Norte que finalizó el jueves con el descubrimiento de sus restos.

¿Cómo fue la implosión del submarino Titán que exploraba el Titanic?

La investigación de la Guardia Costera de EE.UU. es una de varias que se encuentran actualmente en curso. Las autoridades de Canadá también encargadas de investigar el incidente revisarán las grabaciones de voz de la nave nodriza del sumergible, el Polar Prince, dijeron funcionarios canadienses.

Investigadores canadienses abordaron el Polar Prince este sábado “para recopilar información del registrador de datos de viaje del buque y otros sistemas del buque que contienen información útil”, dijo este sábado Kathy Fox, presidenta de la Junta de Seguridad en el Transporte de Canadá. Un registrador de datos de viaje almacena el audio del puente del barco.

Mientras tanto, la Real Policía Montada de Canadá (RCMP por sus siglas en inglés) está investigando si “posiblemente se hayan infringido las leyes penales, federales o provinciales”.

“No hay sospecha de actividad delictiva per se, pero la RCMP está tomando medidas iniciales para evaluar si seguiremos ese camino o no”, dijo el superintendente de la RCMP, Kent Osmond, en una conferencia de prensa el sábado.

Las autoridades estadounidenses y canadienses también han estado realizando entrevistas en el puerto de St. John’s, Canadá, donde el Polar Prince regresó el sábado con sus banderas a media asta.

“Este caso ha sido extremadamente complejo, ya que involucró una respuesta coordinada internacional, interagencial y del sector privado en una región del océano implacable y de difícil acceso”, dijo este domingo el contralmirante de la Guardia Costera de EE.UU. John Mauger, comandante del primer distrito de la Guardia Costera.

La Guardia Costera anunció que la embarcación sufrió una “implosión catastrófica”, matando a todos los pasajeros a bordo.

Los tripulantes de la embarcación eran el CEO de OceanGate Expeditions, Stockton Rush; el empresario británico Hamish Harding; el buceador francés Paul-Henri Nargeolet; y el empresario nacido en Pakistán Shahzada Dawood y su hijo, Suleman, que eran ciudadanos británicos.

¿Qué está pasando en el fondo del océano?

El mismo vehículo operado por control remoto que encontró el campo de escombros del sumergible la semana pasada ahora está involucrado en la operación para recuperar restos del Océano Atlántico, según un comunicado de Pelagic Research Services, visto por primera vez por CNN, este domingo.

El Odysseus 6K, un vehículo operado por control remoto, estaba en el lecho marino en su cuarta inmersión desde que llegó al sitio de rescate de Titán este domingo, según un comunicado de Pelagic Research Services, visto por primera vez por CNN, el domingo.

La compañía agregó que las capacidades de carga pesada de Odysseus “se han utilizado y continúan utilizándose” en la misión de recuperación de Titán, pero no confirmó si se habían recuperado los escombros y refirió a CNN a la Guardia Costera de EE.UU., que lidera la investigación sobre el esfuerzo de implosión y recuperación.

El capitán Neubauer se negó a dar detalles sobre la operación de recuperación este domingo, pero dijo que “los recursos están en el sitio y son capaces de recuperar los restos”.

El pasado jueves por la mañana se encontraron cinco piezas importantes diferentes de escombros del sumergible, dijeron las autoridades. Cada extremo del casco presurizado se encontró en un lugar diferente, según Paul Hankins, director de Operaciones de Salvamento e Ingeniería Oceánica de la Marina de EE.UU.

Se espera que las misiones de vehículos operados a distancia continúen durante una semana más, según Jeff Mahoney, portavoz de Pelagic Research Services.

Cualquier intento de recuperar algo del campo de restos justificará una operación más grande en conjunto con Deep Energy, otra compañía que ayuda con la misión, porque los escombros probablemente serán demasiado pesados para que el ROV de Pelagic los levante solo, dijo Mahoney a CNN el viernes pasado.

Se examinarán piezas del sumergible mientras los investigadores tratan de entender por qué implosionó.

La Marina de EE.UU. dijo que detectó una señal acústica consistente con una implosión el domingo en el área general donde el sumergible se zambullía cuando perdió la comunicación, dijo a CNN un alto oficial de la Marina.

Se determinó que el sonido “no era definitivo”, dijo el funcionario, y los esfuerzos multinacionales para encontrar el sumergible continuaron como una operación de búsqueda y rescate antes de que se encontrara el campo de escombros.

La embarcación usó materiales que “simplemente” no funcionaron, dice una experta

Mientras se mapea el campo de escombros y se recolectan las piezas del sumergible, los expertos plantean preguntas sobre el diseño del Titán.

Una revisión de CNN del material de marketing de OceanGate, las declaraciones públicas hechas por Rush y los registros judiciales muestran que incluso cuando la compañía promocionó un compromiso con las medidas de seguridad, rechazó los estándares de la industria que habrían impuesto un mayor escrutinio en sus operaciones y embarcaciones.

Un exempleado que trabajó brevemente para la compañía como técnico de operaciones estaba preocupado por el grosor y la adhesión del casco, dijo, hablando con CNN bajo condición de anonimato.

“Esta era una empresa que ya estaba desafiando mucho de lo que ya sabemos sobre el diseño sumergible”, dijo el jueves a CNN Rachel Lance, ingeniera biomédica de la Universidad de Duke que ha estudiado los requisitos fisiológicos de supervivencia bajo el agua. Señaló que algunos de los materiales de diseño de la embarcación “ya eran grandes banderas rojas para las personas que han trabajado en este campo”.

La experta dijo que las combinaciones no convencionales de materiales utilizados en el Titán, incluida la fibra de carbono, planteaban riesgos de seguridad porque “en el transcurso de presurizaciones repetidas, tienden a debilitarse”.

“Esto no es exactamente lo que, en mi opinión, sería una innovación porque esto ya es algo que se ha intentado y simplemente no funcionó”, dijo.

Cuando el experto en sumergibles Karl Stanley estaba a bordo del Titán para una excursión submarina frente a las costas de las Bahamas en abril de 2019, sintió que algo andaba mal con el sumergible cuando se escucharon ruidos fuertes y envió un correo electrónico a Rush, el director ejecutivo de OceanGate Expediciones, haciendo sonar la alarma sobre sospechas de defectos.

“Lo que escuchamos, en mi opinión… sonaba como una falla/defecto en un área que estaba siendo afectada por tremendas presiones y siendo aplastada/dañada”, escribió Stanley en el correo electrónico, del cual CNN obtuvo una copia.

Cuando se le pidió un comentario sobre el correo electrónico de Stanley, un portavoz de OceanGate le dijo a CNN que no podían proporcionar ninguna información adicional en este momento.

El cofundador de OceanGate, Guillermo Sohnlein, instó a la gente a no apresurarse a juzgar la implosión. “Hay equipos en el sitio que todavía recopilarán datos durante los próximos días, semanas, tal vez meses, y pasará mucho tiempo antes de que sepamos exactamente qué sucedió allí”, dijo Sohnlein a CNN el viernes. “Así que me animaría a que pospongamos las especulaciones hasta que tengamos más datos para continuar”.

Ron DeSantis tours the Texas border ahead of rolling out his immigration platform

0

Amid sagging national poll numbers, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis toured part of the Texas border Sunday as he prepared to roll out new immigration policy proposals and justify sending hundreds of his state’s personnel to help manage a migrant influx.

DeSantis spokesman Andrew Romeo said the campaign plans to shift in coming weeks from highlighting his success in Florida to taking more direct aim at what it sees as President Joe Biden’s failures.

“Joe Biden’s open border policies have destroyed our sovereignty,” Romeo said.

On Monday, DeSantis will release his plan to secure the border, which will be the first formal campaign policy of his presidential run.

DeSantis has increasingly attacked his main rival, former President Donald Trump, on immigration. But so far, those jabs have failed to gain traction: A new NBC News national poll found 51% of Republican primary voters picked Trump as their first choice in the race for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, while DeSantis drew just 22%. Trump has widened his lead since DeSantis’ glitch-filled campaign launch last month.

On Friday, DeSantis reiterated a typical part of his stump speech in his remarks at the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference in Washington, D.C.

“I will finally be the president to bring the issue of our open southern border to a conclusion,” he said. “On day one, we declare a national emergency. We mobilize all the assets, including the military.”

The Trump campaign, meanwhile, responded by listing what it says are more than 100 “major reforms” related to immigration that were instituted during his administration, including a high number of deportations and implementation of the pandemic-era border restriction known as Title 42.

On Friday, Trump told the audience of Christian conservatives at the conference that he would sign an executive order ending automatic citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants.

“We had the most successful and strongest border in American history,” Trump said.

DeSantis made a separate border trip this month to Arizona, but that was billed as an official state visit, not a campaign stop. This visit to Texas will include a stop at a Veterans of Foreign Wars hall Monday to speak with voters.

In May, DeSantis announced that he would send 1,100 personnel to the Texas border. More than 400 members of the Florida National Guard are deployed there; they’re spread across roughly 500 miles from Eagle Pass to Brownsville, said Amelia Johnson, a deputy director with the Florida Division of Emergency Management.

DeSantis’ office announced this month that the Florida teams had encountered more than 5,800 undocumented migrants and helped the Texas Department of Public Safety with more than 190 arrests, in cases including felony charges connected to drugs, weapons and human smuggling.

Qatar sovereign wealth fund buys stake in Washington’s NBA, NHL and WNBA teams

0

Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund is buying a roughly 5% stake in the parent company of the NBA’s Washington Wizards, NHL’s Washington Capitals and WNBA’s Washington Mystics as part of a $4.05 billion deal, a person with knowledge of the sale said Thursday.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the agreement between the Qatar Investment Authority and Monumental Sports & Entertainment had not been announced.

It is believed to be the first time the government of Qatar is investing in U.S. professional sports. Sportico first reported the transaction, saying it is the first time any sovereign wealth fund has bought into ownership of an American team.

It is not Qatar’s first big foray into major sports. The Middle Eastern country last year hosted soccer’s World Cup for the first time, helping FIFA reach a record revenue level because of booming ticket and hospitality sales.

Qatar Sports Investments has owned majority control of French soccer club Paris Saint-Germain since 2011. The same group agreed in October to buy a 22% stake in Portuguese club Braga.

Getting into a top U.S. market, even as a minority partner, is further expansion of Qatari reach into the sports world.

NBA spokesperson Mike Bass said the league’s Board of Governors decided in November to allow “passive, non-controlling, minority investments in NBA teams by institutional investors, including university endowments, foreign and domestic pension funds and sovereign wealth funds, subject to a set of policy guidelines adopted at that time.” All investments fitting that bill require league review and NBA Board approval.

“The NBA Board is currently reviewing a potential investment by QIA in Monumental Sports & Entertainment, the parent company of the Washington Wizards, among other sports properties,” Bass said. “In accordance with the policy, if approved, QIA would have a passive, minority investment in the team, with no involvement in its operations or decision-making.”

NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly told the AP the league had already approved the investment.

An expert in such transactions said sports are part of Qatar’s nation-branding and public diplomacy strategy and that this move aligns with that strategy.

“Part of that strategy includes purchasing, sponsoring or buying equity in international sports organizations in Western markets, especially in central cities,” said Dr. Yoav Dubinsky, instructor of sports business in the Lundquist College of Business at the University of Oregon. “From a political standpoint, it means further legitimizing Qatar as a business partner in the West, including in the heart of American politics.”

Dubinsky added in an email to the AP that the size of the stake would likely limit the impact Qatar can have on the teams, unlike the control of Paris Saint-Germain. That would fit with the NBA’s definition of a passive, minority investment.

Government and QIA officials in Qatar, which hosts the forward headquarters of the U.S. military’s Central Command, declined to comment when reached by the AP. It has used its natural gas wealth to raise its profile internationally while also facing a yearslong boycott by regional countries over a political dispute.

Qatar’s potential purchase also renews questions that followed it during the FIFA World Cup, which include concerns over its human rights record when it comes to LGBTQ+ rights and its treatment of laborers in the country.

Neighboring Saudi Arabia has also moved into U.S. sports. Its sovereign wealth fund, which funded the upstart LIV Golf series, has agreed to a business partnership with the PGA Tour, sparking similar concerns.

Ted Leonsis, who has owned the Capitals since 1999 and been majority owner of the Wizards since 2010, is the founder, managing partner and CEO of Monumental. The company lists 20 other partners on its website, including Laurene Powell Jobs and Washington Nationals owner Mark Lerner.

Monumental also owns the Capital City Go-Go of the G League and Capital One Arena in Washington and recently took over the media outlet formerly known as NBC Sports Washington, now Monumental Sports Network.

Elon Musk y Mark Zuckerberg: ¿Por qué los dos magnates se retaron en Las Vegas?

0

Elon Musk dijo “si esto es real, lo haré” y propuso el octágono de la UFC de Las Vegas como sede para enfrentarse a Mark Zuckerberg.

¿Quién ganaría en una pelea en jaula en Las Vegas entre Elon Musk y Mark Zuckerberg? Si hay que creer en las publicaciones en las redes sociales de los jefes tecnológicos multimillonarios, es posible que pronto lo descubramos.

Musk, que compró Twitter en octubre, planteó la idea en respuesta a los planes de Meta Platforms Inc. de lanzar un servicio de la competencia.

El fundador de Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, la décima persona más rica del mundo según los datos recopilados por Bloomberg, luego publicó en Instagram una captura de pantalla de los comentarios de Musk con la leyenda: “Envíame ubicación”.

En tuits posteriores, Musk, el hombre más rico del mundo, dijo “si esto es real, lo haré”. Propuso el octágono de la UFC de Las Vegas como sede y, en broma, describió su entrenamiento típico (lanzar a sus hijos por el aire) y su técnica de combate: acostarse sobre la gente en una maniobra que él llama “La morsa”.

Usuarios comparten memes de la pelea Musk vs. Zuckerberg

Zuckerberg también compartió recientemente detalles de su régimen de acondicionamiento físico, incluido el éxito en un torneo de jiu-jitsu y completar el “desafío Murph”: correr una milla, 100 dominadas, 200 flexiones, 300 sentadillas y otra milla, mientras usa un Chaleco con peso de 20 libras, en 40 minutos.

Meta se negó a comentar más. Twitter no respondió de manera significativa a una solicitud de comentarios.

Elon Musk es quien siguió publicando tuits sobre el tema, con emojis referentes a la posible pelea contra Zuckerberg.

Mientras, en Twitter los usuarios comparten memes de cómo sería este enfrentamiento y también han expresado por quién apostarían o quién sería el ganador.

Uno de los factores que toman en cuenta es que Zuckerberg lleva varios meses bajo entrenamiento y ha participado en torneos de artes marciales en Silicon Valley.
