Judy and Ed Craine have parked their vehicle on the carpad in front of their home for the past 36 years before receiving a complaint. But recently, the couple received a $1,542 fine for parking on the carpad, with an additional threat of a $250-per-day fee if they didn’t move their car. “To all of a sudden to be told you can’t use something that we could use for years....
Desiree and Jeff Jolly parked their Honda sedan in the Russian Hill neighborhood, on the corner of Union and Larkin streets. When they returned, photographs showed, the red line had been painted alongside their car, with gaps left around the wheels. “We came out and we were walking up from the store and I noticed the ticket on my car,” Desiree Jolly told local news station ABC7. “If it was warranted I don’t have a problem with it but this seems unfair to me....

In a post shared on Mumsnet’s Am I Being Unreasonable (AIBU) subforum, where its poll received at least 214 votes, user Grimed asked: “AIBU to feel angry at my parents for not wanting to spend time with my children?” The user said the parents “barely know” their grandkids, who will be adults soon. The grandparents see them a couple of times a year and allegedly “show no interest whatsoever.” According to the user, the grandparents never ask after the grandkids or do any phone or video calls with them....
On Tuesday, a judge in the Superior Court of New Jersey’s Appellate Division overturned Bellator’s injunction against Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, which now allows the former UFC light heavyweight champion to fight on Saturday’s UFC 186 against his original opponent, Fabio Maldonado. Instead of the fight taking place in the 205 weight class, the bout will take place at a catchweight of 215 pounds. “We are happy with the decision from the New Jersey Court allowing Rampage to fight in Montreal this Saturday night,” UFC President Dana White said on ESPN’s Sportscenter....
The file-sharing boom, in which 60 million Americans have grabbed free music on the Net, involves epochal clashes. Status quo business models versus risky progress. Copyright hawks against public-domain geeks. What the Mullens can’t figure out, like many of their fellow defendants, is how they wound up on the front lines. Why would an industry sue its customers? And why them? “We’re doing it to get our message out,” says RIAA president Cary Sherman....
Courtois, 26, produced his best performance for Madrid in a 0-0 derby draw with Atletico in LaLiga on Saturday. But the former Chelsea shot-stopper has been questioned early in the campaign, with his footwork criticised. However, Courtois dismissed those critics, telling Belgofut: “I’m not bad with my feet. “I may not be among the best, but I’m certainly not bad either. Sometimes I miss a long ball but I dare to play with my feet....
Minnesota missed out on the playoffs by virtue of their 24-10 loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 17, with wide receiver Thielen accounting for just 38 of quarterback Cousins’ 132 passing yards in an uncharacteristically quiet performance. The pair’s frustrations boiled over towards the end of the first half when Cousins and Thielen could be seen arguing over an incompletion as both vented their anger. However, the two men insisted the discussion was actually productive and not indicative of a bigger issue, with Cousins having failed to lead the Vikings to the post-season in his first campaign of an eye-watering $84million, three-year contract....
Judges in Jefferson County are issuing court orders to hold COVID-19 patients who don’t stay at home liable for their actions, WHAS11 reported. According to the station, the Louisville Metro Public Health and Wellness Department has the authority to issue an “order of isolation” under state law, which a circuit judge can approve or deny. If the order is served, officers from the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections then place a GPS monitoring device on the patient, who could be arrested or face charges if they break the terms of the order....
The United States has become the epicenter of the outbreak and on Tuesday had more than 368,000 cases.

Tuesday’s briefing is scheduled for 5 p.m. EST, the standard time for the daily update. On TV, C-SPAN will broadcast it live on C-SPAN 1, as well as on its website and C-SPAN Radio....
Scientists from Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health used advanced computer simulations to mathematically model the spread of the novel coronavirus for a paper published in the journal Science. The novel coronavirus, known as SARS-CoV-2, emerged in Wuhan, China, toward the end of 2019 and rapidly spread across the country and, subsequently, internationally. “Efforts to contain the virus are ongoing; however, given the many uncertainties regarding pathogen transmissibility and virulence, the effectiveness of these efforts is unknown,” the researchers wrote in the paper....
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says it is bracing for a surge in the abandonment of animals such as snakes and bearded dragons as higher electricity bills start landing on people’s doormats in the United Kingdom. But as owners struggle to afford keeping their costly ultraviolet (UV) and heat lamps on, reptile shop owner Charles Thompson has already seen a spike in dumped reptiles....
Costa followed up Kevin Gameiro’s opener to keep up Atletico’s fine recent form, although a first-half incident was sharp in his focus post-match. The Spain striker was clumsily felled by Unai Nunez in the area, but referee Jose Luis Gonzalez waved away appeals, prompting furious protests from Costa that eventually saw him booked. Atletico have not been awarded a penalty in domestic competitions this season, and Costa was in suitably conspiratorial mood after the game....

But some Democratic strategists and former staffers of the independent senator’s unsuccessful 2016 White House bid suggest that such anxieties are perhaps oversimplified, and the passion that exists among Sanders supporters could be the key to uniting the party behind a nominee and unseating the president. “It’s a false choice,” Rich Pelletier, the national field director and deputy campaign manager for Sanders in 2016, told Newsweek. “Bernie has said that health care is a human right and that it should not be in the hands of profiteers....
Musk finalized his purchase of the social media platform Thursday after months of negotiations with the company. Musk has rumored firing a large swath of Twitter’s staff and intends to abolish the lifelong bans the company previously initiated, allowing individuals such as former President Donald Trump to return to the social media platform. Some conservatives have criticized Twitter by alleging the platform censors right-wing views, and now that Musk has indicated plans to lessen the restrictions, it is unclear how candidates will use the platform to their benefit....
It's a possibility, writes James Fink of Buffalo Business First. Jacobs was mentioned in a piece discussing several potential suitors for the team. He's best known to non-Bruins fans as the owner most publicly responsible for the lockout and the guy Ryan Miller screamed at (reportedly) during negotiations. And hey, he's also a Buffalo native: Jacobs, 74, has a net worth of $2.7 billion and his company, Delaware North Cos....
And one that made headlines called for Texans to be allowed to vote on whether or not to secede from the United States. The measure asks state lawmakers to pass a bill in its next session “requiring a referendum in the 2023 general election for the people of Texas to determine whether or not the state of Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation.” Another section of the proposed platform states that Texas “retains the right to secede from the United States....
