The New York Democrat is calling on the Department of Homeland Security to immediately deploy special technology that identifies and tracks drones back to their landing spots, according to briefings from his office. Schumer’s calls come amid growing public concern that the federal government hasn’t offered clear explanations as to who is operating the drones, and has not stopped them. National security officials have said the drones don’t appear to be a sign of foreign interference. “There’s a lot of us who are pretty frustrated right now,” said Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, on Fox News Sunday. “The answer ‘We don’t know’ is not a good enough answer.” President-elect Donald Trump posted on social media last week: “Can this really be happening without our government’s knowledge? I don’t think so. Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down.” Certain agencies within the Department of Homeland Security have the power to “incapacitate” drones, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Sunday. “But we need those authorities expanded,” he said, without saying exactly how. The drones don’t appear to be linked to foreign governments, Mayorkas said. “We know of no foreign involvement with respect to the sightings in the Northeast. And we are vigilant in investigating this matter,” Mayorkas said. Last year, federal aviation rules began requiring certain drones to broadcast their identities. It’s not clear whether that information has been used to determine who is operating the drones swarming locations in New York and New Jersey. Mayorkas’ office didn’t immediately respond to questions about whether they’ve been able to identify drones using this capability. Schumer is calling for recently declassified radar technology to be used to help determine whether an object is a drone or a bird, identify its electronic registration, and follow it back to its landing place. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Sunday said federal officials were sending a drone detection system to the state. “This system will support state and federal law enforcement in their investigations,” Hochul said in a statement. The governor did not immediately provide additional details, including where the system will be deployed. Dozens of mysterious nighttime flights started last month over New Jersey, raising concerns among residents and officials. Part of the worry stems from the flying objects initially being spotted near the Picatinny Arsenal, a U.S. military research and manufacturing facility and over Trump’s golf course in Bedminster. Drones are legal in New Jersey for recreational and commercial use, but they are subject to local and Federal Aviation Administration regulations and flight restrictions. Operators must be FAA certified.ebag418.com games 。

Giants face challenge in hosting Ravens, trying to end 8-game skid

Two KC-area companies land on Deloitte Technology Fast 500DALLAS -- The Hilton Anatole has become Major League Baseball's top destination this week as teams converge for the winter meetings with writers, agents and even some fans circling the vast lobby floors. The biggest offseason news came down Sunday night, when the New York Mets and star free agent slugger Juan Soto reportedly agreed on a 15-year, $765 million deal, which would be the largest contract ever given to a professional athlete. That was a key talking point when managers started meeting with the media on Monday. Nationals manager Dave Martinez reflected on when he was Soto's first manager in the big leagues back in 2018. "This kid, he was different," Martinez said. "The ball comes off his bat differently. The way he approaches the hitting was way different than a lot of kids I've seen. But the one thing that I always remember about him, the first conversation I had, the first thing that came out of his mouth when I asked him what motivates him, what drives him, and he just came out and said, 'I love baseball.' Truly you can see it in him. He loves playing the game." The Red Sox were among the clubs in the mix for Soto. Boston manager Alex Cora didn't get into specific details, but he enjoyed the organization's pursuit of the four-time All Star. "It was fun in a way, you know, to get to know people and players of that status," Cora said. "It's amazing. The kid, he gets it. He gets it. Let me put it that way." Royals manager Matt Quatraro, meanwhile, spoke about the impact such a monumental contract may have on smaller market teams in order to compete in today's market. "We have to be creative. We have to put the best 26 guys on a roster or the best 40 guys on a roster, not the best one or two," Quatraro said. "At the end of the day, you have a chance to compete against those guys. Soto is going to hit four to five times a night. Those are impactful at-bats, but there's other ways to combat that with a full 26-man roster." Sasaki Posted Outside of the Soto reaction, Monday's other main storyline - at least going into the afternoon hours - centered on Japanese ace right-hander Roki Sasaki officially being posted. The 23-year-old phenom is available to sign as a free agent from Tuesday through 5 p.m. ET on Jan. 23. The rumor mill was churning with plenty of speculation and talk about where Sasaki might sign. He was just one of many big-name players being discussed on Monday. The list of top free agents behind Soto includes pitchers Corbin Burnes and Max Fried and infielders Alex Bregman, Pete Alonso and Christian Walker. On the trade front, much attention is being placed on White Sox left-handed starter Garrett Crochet. It was a relatively quiet Day 1 through the standard working hours, although things are always subject to change at meetings of this nature. Tito is Back Terry Francona joked that his desire to manage again resurfaced when his daughters went on a 10-day trip to Europe. "I watched the grandkids. That was the one day I thought maybe I'll go back to baseball," Francona said, laughing. All joking aside, Francona said it simply happened that when the Reds reached out, the timing felt right. He's healthy and refreshed as he's set to enter his 24th season as a manager. "I had a really good year and maybe I just needed that," Francona, 65, said. "Then, when these guys called, it just felt right." Honoring Mays The winter meetings kicked off with MLB announcing that its annual charity auction during the event would help revitalize Willie Mays Park in the late Hall of Famer's hometown of Fairfield, Ala. At a news conference, April Brown, MLB's senior vice president of social responsibility and diversity, said the vision for the project includes access for all levels of players, from youth leagues to advanced levels. "This effort will not just be MLB alone," Brown said. "We have the blessing of so many connected to his legacy and that have the mission to instill the love of our game that Willie had to all of the youth in the area growing up in the neighborhood where he grew up." The auction, which features items from every major league club, runs through Thursday. --Drew Davison, Field Level Media

Dean McCullough's tears have been sneered at by some celebrities who insisted he "wasn't scared" when he was asked to role-play a mummified body and get buried up to the thigh in sand while having meal-worms thrown into his make-shift "sarcophagus". There's been even worse to come for the tearful I'm A Celebrity contestant, who couldn't stand being submerged in sand, as he seemed to receive a very icy rebuttal from Ant McPartlin on tonight's episode. The BBC Radio 1 star, who was nominated for a further trial, exactly as fans had predicted, attempted to crack a joke to relieve the tension. Turning to Ant and Dec, he exclaimed: "Well, well, well. We need to stop meeting like this. I've told you I didn't want another date!" While Declan Donnelly gamely laughed along, Ant gave a blank stare in his direction instead. Fans took to social media to address the apparent snub, with one writing: "Ant hates Dean so much omg his face says it all." A second agreed: "Ant can’t stand Dean. you can tell." A third viewer chimed in: "Ant literally looks like he hates Dean." Meanwhile, poor Dean's attentions might be more focused on the horrors of the trial ahead, after being nominated for the terrifying Jack and the Screamstalk trial. Tulisa made an unsuccessful attempt to reassure him, insisting that the trial wouldn't necessarily be "critter-related". Fortunately for her, she's exempt for "medical reasons" - and the public voted Dean to take on the responsibility. The BBC star has already attracted negative attention for being too theatrical during previous trials, as some refuse to believe that he's scared. He screamed, cried and almost hyperventilated his way through the infamous sarcophagus trial, prompting Strictly pro Ola Jordan and fellow dance champ husband James Jordan to debate on Twitter whether he was "acting". Ola claimed: "I don’t believe one bit that he was scared of that #ImACeleb." James then shot back: "I’m sure he’s a lovely guy but needs to work on his acting skills massively otherwise he will come across a bit fake as he’s definitely trying to play the game." Dean, who recently opened up about his battle with "hidden homelessness" , opted out of the trial after just two stars, yelling the code-word, "I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!" as he begged to be released. The decision made him less than popular with his hungry campmates, who'd been struggling alongside him in the jungle - and now fans are certain that Ant is acting frosty too.

S.Africa's Breyten Breytenbach, writer and anti-apartheid activist‘I actually did not know this’: Woman reveals little-known trick to make the traffic light go by fasterIf the planned Blue Line light-rail extension were built today, riders would step off at the final stop in northern Brooklyn Park to acres of farmland and empty fields. While Target’s eight-story corporate campus sits next to the planned station north of Hwy. 610, much of the surrounding land remains vacant. City leaders are working to change that by the time the light rail is expected to offer service and connect the northwest suburb to downtown Minneapolis in 2030. Brooklyn Park has hired a firm to study how best to guide development in the northwestern part of the city, where 700 acres, much of it privately owned, are undeveloped and not hooked up to city utilities. City leaders are planning for part of the project — about 245 acres north of Hwy. 610 at the interchange with Hwy. 169 — to become a biotech district, essentially a hub for medical and health technology companies. Officials also expect housing and mixed-use development to be built on the site. “You should not have a city with 700 undeveloped acres located near a metro center like Minneapolis or St. Paul,” Mayor Hollies Winston said. “It’s kind of unheard of because of that proximity and the ability to build industry and development that can connect to that city. We’re behind the eight ball on this, so we’re moving quickly.” The Legislature this past session approved the biotech district and granted the city the authority to issue bonds and leverage other tools for development. Winston said a next step will be seeking tax increment financing for the district. Erin McDermott, a senior planner with the city, said Brooklyn Park and the surrounding area already hosts many medical manufacturers and suppliers, and officials hope to build on that network. The goal is to attract up to 10,000 new jobs and open as many as 3,000 housing units, although no potential tenants have been announced. A separate study will explore developing the biotech district. Winston said a main goal is increasing the city’s tax base, saying that Brooklyn Park takes in less commercial property tax revenue than some nearby cities of similar size. “We have to close that gap so we can afford our city and slow the rise of property taxes long term,” he said. The mayor said officials are looking to expand on programs that connect residents with educational opportunities that lead to jobs in the medtech field, and tackle workforce disparities. He also sees the need for more market-rate housing in the city that has more affordable housing units than many of its neighbors. He believes more restaurants and retail will follow as the other development comes along, which he expects to also be driven by the light-rail extension. “The northwest suburbs have been underinvested in for quite some time,” Winston said. “We took on this affordable housing, and now we’re following up decades later saying we created opportunities for young families. And now we need the economic piece so people can break this generational chain of poverty and move on with a great education and career.” Meanwhile, city leaders are exploring how to guide development of the broader 700-acre property, including how to zone the area and build out streets and utilities. Brooklyn Park, with more than 86,000 residents and counting, has seen more growth moving toward its northern edge. The broader site, McDermott said, is partly owned by private residents, Target Corp. and Scannell Properties, which developed the industrial business park to the east. She said city leaders are speaking with property owners about potential development. McDermott expects the consultant firm creating the nearly $300,000 northwest area plan, Bolton & Menk, to present to the City Council next month with a few scenarios for the site. The city would then undergo a lengthy planning process including public engagement sessions and environmental studies. She hopes planning can be completed by the end of 2025 so some construction can be completed in time for the Blue Line’s expected opening in 2030.Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's pick for intel chief, faces questions on Capitol Hill amid Syria fallout
