MANILA, Philippines -- A Chinese coast guard ship and one of its militia vessels separately bumped a Philippine coast guard ship and a military-run supply boat Sunday off a disputed shoal in the South China Sea “in dangerous, irresponsible and illegal actions,” Philippine officials said. They did not say if there were injuries or damage from the two incidents off the Second Thomas Shoal that the United States, a longtime treaty ally of the Philippines, immediately condemned. The Philippine government also condemned the latest confrontation in “the strongest degree” and called it a violation of Manila’s sovereignty. The Chinese coast guard said the Philippine vessels “trespassed” into what it said were Chinese waters “without authorization” despite repeated radio warnings, prompting its ships to stop them. It blamed the Philippine vessels for causing the collisions. "The Philippine side’s behavior seriously violates the international rules on avoiding collisions at sea and thr

CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio -- As Jadarrius Rose drove his 18-wheeler through rural Ohio, a simple missing mudflap caught the highway patrol’s eye. The trip ended with a police dog’s powerful jaws clamping down on Rose even as he tried to surrender. As he stood with his hands up beside the highway on July 4, at least six law enforcement officers surrounded him at a distance, one calling forcefully to the K-9 handler: “Do not release the dog," highway patrol video shows. Nevertheless, a Belgian Malinois is seen on the video either breaking free or being set loose. At first, the animal seems confused, racing past Rose toward officers at the far end of the truck, then turning back and running for Rose, then 23. By then the trucker is on his knees, hands still high, as an officer shouts, “Get the dog off of him!” That day, Rose joined a long list of Black Americans attacked by police dogs, a history well documented by journalists, academics and filmmakers. Investigations into such cases ha

This timeframe is the prime opportunity for the roster to start meshing and for individual players to earn a spot on the team and roles within the rotation. The five-game preseason slate that took place this month was a glimpse into what the Thunder co

This week’s Current Climate , which every Saturday brings you the latest news about the business of sustainability. Sign up to get it in your inbox every week. The world may be close to hitting an “irreversible solar tipping point.” Getty Images A new report from analyst firm Ember has found that for over half of the world’s economies, fossil fuel use peaked at least five years ago. Consequently, carbon emissions from these countries have also fallen–20% over the past decade. According to the report, these 107 countries represent 38% of global energy demand and many of them have seen a decline in greenhouse gas emissions despite growth in that demand. “We are on the cusp of a new era of fossil decline in the global power sector,” Dave Jones, the firm’s global insights lead, said in a press release. A big part of the reason for this has been the decreasing costs of renewable energy sources , which have an advantage of not requiring fuel and therefore don’t have their ongoi

Bruce Arena New England Revolution sits on the sideline while coaching the New England Revolution ... [+] during a game at D.C. United's Audi Field on September 27, 2020. Getty Images A juicy — if probably unlikely — possibility emerged on Friday afternoon in the form of reporting from The Athletic and ESPN , saying that recently resigned New England Revolution manager Bruce Arena is candidate for the vacant D.C. United job. The link is intriguing for a lot of reasons. Arena’s career as arguably the greatest American manager began at the pro level with D.C. when he guided the Black-and-Red to the first two MLS Cup titles ever contested in 1996 and 1997. Presently, both the club and the coach find themselves at low points. D.C. doesn’t appear to have much of a short- or long-term vision after parting with most-recent manager Wayne Rooney. Meanwhile, Arena resigned from the New England job after an investigation into alleged inappropriate remarks, apologizing for his behavio

You know things are hot when celebrities are signing term sheets. While helpful, it’s not their money that’s propping up the food-tech ecosystem. So the question here is this: Do VCs have the fortitude to continue supporting the more than 150 startups seeking to design a cell-cultured analogue to cheap meat? Perhaps the better question is: Should they? “Gone are the days of big rounds,” says Anthony Chow, cofounder of Agronomics, a publicly listed sustainability fund, which has invested in several cultivated meat startups, including Blue Nalu, Mosa Meat, Meatable, and China-based CellX. For example, Blue Nalu is pursuing what some call “the Holy Grail” of animal flesh—bluefin tuna. The San Diego-based startup closed a series B funding of $33.5 million this October. Chow says that surely would have been bigger in a better market. Venture capital is not moving like it was in the last decade. “I expect we’ll see more down rounds and some of that is a natural readjustment to valuation

The U.S. Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, draws about 440,000 fans over three days. Clive Mason - Formula 1/Formula 1 via Getty Images Although Miami and Las Vegas grab the headlines, this weekend’s U.S. Grand Prix will outdraw both races—and it continues to pick up speed. T he debut of the Miami Grand Prix last year set a Formula 1 record in the United States with an average viewership of 2.6 million. This year, all eyes are on another American addition to the F1 calendar, the Las Vegas Grand Prix, which will hit the Strip next month and become—in the words of one series executive —“the home of Formula 1 in the U.S.” Lost in the shuffle has been the race that, in many ways, is sitting in pole position, with ten more years of history, a far larger crowd and claim to the name “U.S. Grand Prix.” That would be the series’ stop in Austin, Texas, which had a rocky few years financially after coming onto the scene in 2012 but is expected to draw three-day attendance this weekend in line

SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic may get to space differently, but they agree on one thing: The industry needs more time in the so-called learning period on commercial spaceflight that is set to expire January 1. State of play The House held a  hearing  in July on extending the FAA’s “learning period” for commercial spaceflight and Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) introduced a bill in September that would extend the rulemaking moratorium for another eight years.  The Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee held its own hearing this week on the topic with representatives from the three companies flying private citizens to space. Here are some of our biggest takeaways: Fund the FAA Multiple officials said the FAA will need more money and staff to establish and enforce regulations on the commercial spaceflight industry. Congress needs to double the funding for the FAA’s Office of Commercial Space Transportation licensing division, and give the agency more power

(Photo by Tim Nwachukwu/Getty Images) Getty Images The Philadelphia Phillies are trying to return to the Major League Baseball World Series. The Phillies lost the 2022 World Series to the Houston Astros. Last year, the Phillies had a very difficult road to navigate on their way to facing the Astros on MLB’s biggest stage. The Phillies defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in the Wild Card Series. The Phillies defeated the Atlanta Braves in the National League Division Series. The Phillies then defeated the San Diego Padres in the National League Championship Series. The Phillies then lost to the Astros, 4-2, in the World Series. Clearly, the Phillies exceeded expectations in 2022. Now the cal

On a site next to a sawmill in Waverly, Virginia , a startup takes sawdust and offcuts from the mill and heats it up to turn it into biochar, a material that can store carbon for hundreds or thousands of years. The project, which recently began operating, will capture a little more than 10,000 metric tons of CO2 each year. Microsoft will buy the carbon removal credits as part of its plan to become a carbon negative company . [Photo: Restoration Bioprojects] It’s one of a growing number of biochar production plants. The potential is big: A new study calculated that if biochar production scales up as much as possible globally, it could capture as much as 3 billion metric tons of CO2 a year, or 6% of global emissions. Here’s how it works. [Photo: Josiah Hunt/Pacific Biochar] What is biochar? When organic waste (like wheat stalks or manure from a farm, or sawdust from forestry) is heated up to extremely high temperatures without oxygen, it turns into a charcoal-like material
