Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:04:34 GMT

The city of New Carrollton, Maryland, has fired its longtime police chief, David Rice. Rice had led the small police department for nearly 18 years as the city’s first police chief.Mayor Phelecia Nembhard confirmed with WTOP that Rice was dismissed Tuesday for personnel reasons. The mayor declined to provide details about the dismissal, saying that city attorneys advised her not to discuss the personnel matter.Problems for Rice began late last year when the chief was prohibited from entering the police department building because of a confrontation with a city employee, who filed a restraining order against him.Mayor Nembhard said that the city would immediately advertise the open position in a search for a qualified candidate to become New Carrollton’s new police chief.Source

NHL players shrug off concerns after Barron’s skate to face

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:04:34 GMT

Morgan Barron’s stitched-up face courtesy of a skate blade in an NHL playoff game sent a shudder across the league. That doesn’t mean his fellow players are ready to cover up.Barron is currently playing with a full face cage on his helmet after he needed 75 stitches in Game 1 of his Winnipeg Jets playoff series against Vegas. Golden Knights’ goalie Laurent Brossoit’s skate blade became jammed into the space between Barron’s face and his half-visor during a scramble.The stitches run from the top of Barron’s forehead to the corner of his right eye. He came back to play in that game and has played in the three since then, too.While many players use cut-resistance socks and wristbands, they have historically met any changes to head gear with resistance. “Freak accident” was a common refrain from players when asked about Barron’s face.“Super-unfortunate event and glad the guy’s OK because that was really scary,” Edmonton captain Connor McDavid told The Canadian Press. “Any ti...

Coalition taps DOJ in fight over possible historic cemetery in Prince William Co.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:04:34 GMT

The Department of Justice is being asked to step into a battle over land that one organization says is home to the final resting place of people who lived in the Broad Run, Virginia, community of Thoroughfare.Frank Washington said his family was buried in a cemetery on the land now owned by a brewery. In a letter to the DOJ’s civil rights division claims, Washington said the continued development of the land and Prince William County not stepping in to halt the building rises to the level of a hate crime.“I feel like if this had been any other cemetery in a white community or confederate cemetery, and these things are happening, we would not be at this point two years later. There would be an outrage,” Washington said.In addition to calling for a federal probe, Washington and his organization, The Coalition to Save Historic Thoroughfare, is suing the brewery and the county after the property was sold in a tax sale two years ago.According to Washington and Qasim Ras...

Commercial lunar lander presumed lost after historic moon landing attempt

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:04:34 GMT

(CNN) — A Japanese lunar lander, carrying a rover developed in the United Arab Emirates, attempted to find its footing on the moon’s surface Tuesday — and potentially mark the world’s first lunar landing for a commercially developed spacecraft. But flight controllers on the ground were not immediately able to regain contact, prompting the company to presume the spacecraft was lost.The lander, built by Japanese firm Ispace, launched atop a SpaceX rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on December 11. The spacecraft then made a three-month trek to enter orbit around the moon, which lies about 239,000 miles (383,000 kilometers) from Earth, using a low-energy trajectory. Overall, the journey took the lander about 870,000 miles (1.4 million kilometers) through space.Touchdown was expected to occur Tuesday at 12:40 p.m. ET, which is Wednesday at 1:40 a.m. Japan Standard Time.Minutes passed as the mission control team worked to regain contact with the vehicle after an expec...

China sends top wolf warrior Lu Shaye to the dog house

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:04:34 GMT

PARIS — With friends like this, who needs enemies. Less than three weeks after French President Emmanuel Macron returned from a three-day visit to China, where he hailed “common ambitions” with Beijing, China’s top Paris-based wolf warrior lashed out — again. The outrageous diplomatic faux pas from Lu Shaye, China’s ambassador to France, where he questioned the sovereignty of former Soviet states on French television last week, was just the latest in a series of provocations. The Chinese ambassador has built a reputation for an at times flagrant disregard of diplomatic protocol, spreading disinformation and going a bit rogue on Twitter.Among the pack of China’s wolf warriors, named after nationalistic action movies depicting a Chinese army hero fighting villains, Lu was known as an alpha operator. The provocateur’s remarks on ex-Soviet states that came in response to a question on whether he considered Crimea — which was annexed by Russia in 2014 — part of Ukraine un...
