Manitoba bill would toughen penalties for some impaired-driving offencesSALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah judge on Wednesday dismissed a wrongful death lawsuit that Gabby Petito's parents filed against the city of Moab alleging police did not do enough during a traffic stop to protect their daughter from the man who killed her weeks later. Plaintiffs' attorney Judson Burton argued that a state law barring lawsuits against government agencies is unconstitutional and said they plan to appeal. Seventh District Court Judge Don Torgerson said he could not consider the law's constitutionality but the Court of Appeals can, KSL-TV reported. Petito's family said the dismissal was expected. "We never anticipated that this would be an easy process and look forward to the Utah Supreme Court upholding the Utah Constitution's original intent to preserve the right to recover for wrongful death claims under these circumstances," her family said in a statement. Petito, 22, was traveling the country in a converted camper van with her fiance, 23-year-old Brian Laundrie, and posting about it on social media when they were stopped by police in Moab on Aug. 12, 2021. Someone had called to report a man was slapping a woman. Police determined that Petito was the aggressor, and officers had them spend the night apart. Her parents last heard from her in late August and reported her missing on Sept. 11, 2021, after Laundrie returned to Florida alone. The search for Petito drew worldwide attention, spurring amateur sleuths to scour social media for clues. It also brought scrutiny from authorities and the media, both of which have been criticized for focusing more attention on missing white women than women of color. Laundrie was named a person of interest in the case and disappeared two days before Petito's body was found on Sept. 19, 2021, just outside Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. Authorities determined that she had been strangled. Laundrie's remains were found a month later in a wildlife reserve near his parents' house in Florida. He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after writing in a notebook that he killed Petito. An independent investigation found that Moab police made " several unintentional mistakes " when they encountered the couple. In their report investigators said Petito very likely "was a long-term victim of domestic violence, whether that be physically, mentally, and/or emotionally." Her parents, Joseph Petito and Nichole Schmidt, sued Moab Police in November 2022, seeking $50 million in damages. Burton, their lawyer, said Wednesday that Gabby Petito called them during the interaction with police and they wanted her to come home, but she assured them police would take care of things. The attorney said the parents relied on the police to handle the situation but a "grossly negligent" investigation increased the chances of their daughter being harmed. Burton said officers placed Gabby Petitio in a police car and sympathized with Laundrie, laughing with him, which could have emboldened him. He said one of the responding officers explained the risk of domestic violence, showing he understood the situation but did not respond properly. Mitchell Stephens, the attorney representing the Moab Police Department, argued for dismissal on the grounds of governmental immunity, while adding that allegations about Moab's involvement in her death are completely speculative. He said the couple left Moab together and continued traveling. He cited multiple instances where courts have not found police at fault when domestic violence escalated to murder. "Moab is not liable for criminal conduct that occurred a month later in a different state. Brian Laundrie is the cause of Gabby Petito's death," Stephens said.James Pearce Jr. burst onto the scene last year for the Tennessee Volunteers, leading the tough SEC in sacks, with 10.0. He also had a 52-yard interception return, 15 tackles for loss (TFL), and a pair of forced fumbles. His stats dipped a bit in his third and final college season in Knoxville in 2024, racking up 7.5 sacks, 13 TFLs, and one forced fumble. Despite the slight drop-off, Pearce continued to impress NFL scouts as a junior with his length, speed, and athleticism. The edge rusher cuts an imposing figure at 6’5′′ and 242 pounds, but, believe it or not, he’s lacking in strength. The biggest drawback to his game is his lack of stoutness on the line, especially when defending the run. The 21-year-old is definitely not a finished product, but he’s got enormous potential considering his frame, athleticism, and speed. He’s a first-round talent, and he could go anywhere from the low teens to the late first round. Let’s take a gander at James Pearce Jr.’s three most likely NFL landing spots. 3) Atlanta Falcons The most obvious landing spot for James Pearce Jr. is the team with the fewest sacks in the NFL: the Atlanta Falcons . They’ve managed just 26 sacks all year, and their 60.2 pass rush grade on PFF is the 3rd-lowest in the league. Their 20.8 pressure rate is also tied for the 8th-lowest in the NFL. But more than that, is that the sum of their pass rush might actually be greater than its parts. They don’t have any players with more than 5.0 sacks this year. Kaden Elliss leads the way with 5.0, but he’s never been known as a pass rusher. Arnold Ebiketie has regressed after a promising sophomore campaign in 2023. Matthew Judon has looked every one of his 32 years of age in his first year in the ATL. They need a shake-up on the outside, and an athletic freak like Pearce Jr. could be exactly what they need. Atlanta is likely to pick in the No. 11 to No. 20 range in the first round, so the Volunteers star should be available if they choose to draft him. 2) Philadelphia Eagles This era of the Philadelphia Eagles has often been characterized by a seething pass rush. They nearly broke an NFL record with 70 sacks in 2022, and since 2015 they’ve got 427 sacks, 2nd-most in the league over that 10-year span. However, they were in the bottom half of the league in 2023, with 43 QB takedowns. Through 15 games in 2024, they’ve got 40 sacks, good for 10th, but their 18.6 pressure rate is 5th-worst in the NFL. Their 104 pressures are also the 6th-fewest across the league, so there are some worrying underlying metrics behind that solid sack total. Josh Sweat is a quality player, but the jury is still out on second-year man Nolan Smith. Even if both of those guys work out, in this day and age, you need three quality pass rushers to get to the QB consistently. The Eagles will be picking somewhere in the 20s (if not later), so James Pearce Jr. should be in their range. When a team has as few holes as Philly, always add to the pass rush. 1) San Francisco 49ers The San Francisco 49ers are a lot like the Eagles in that much of their identity lies in getting to the QB. They’ve got one of the single greatest edge rushers in the game in Nick Bosa. Leonard Floyd is also a reliable sack artist on the edge, though at 32 years old age is going to catch up to him at some point. One would think. But behind those two, there’s no quality on the edge. The 49ers have some decent players, but they lack depth along the defensive line. In a 2025 draft class with at least a half dozen first-round talents on the edge, this could be the time for the 49ers to bolster their pass rush again. San Francisco has been eliminated from playoff contention. However, they’ve won enough games to be in the James Pearce Jr. range in the draft, most likely in the mid-teens. Pearce is still a raw talent, so it would be a perfect fit for him to develop and ply his trade behind a consummate professional like Floyd and a guy like Bosa who has similarly freakish athleticism.Charles Schwab Investment Management Inc. increased its stake in Olin Co.

Christmas lights have seen many upgrades over the years, such as bright LEDs and automatic timers. But the latest light strings go way beyond that: App controls , built-in mics and sensor technology let you program light patterns, sync lights to your favorite Christmas songs -- and plenty more surprise presents. So when you're ready to upgrade your holiday decorations (including year-round options) with supersmart lighting options, here are the picks to start with. Special note: If you're looking for a time to buy, now's the time! Many of these lights are currently on sale for Black Friday weekend and Cyber Monday , so you can save money on the admittedly expensive smart LEDs. Govee Christmas String Lights 2 Govee's lights can do it all -- literally. Length : 66 to 328 feet Govee's smart string light upgrades are among the best, with several design changes we particularly like. These lights -- which have Matter support and work with Google Home or Alexa -- ditch the hanging bulbs for a string light design, making them a whole lot easier to place in a holiday tree, wrap around a wreath and so on. Plus, the app has serious smarts, with 130 preset modes as well as shape mapping technology for complex DIY options and a surprising AI feature that will try to auto-customize the lights based on texts, snippets of audio music or image prompts so you can really have fun. If you want to take the season to the next level, there's a music mode using built-in mics to sync up to nearby holiday tunes. Note that you can pick a color for the LED string itself, with green being the best option to hide the lights in a tree or bush. They're also weather-resistant and outdoor-ready, so they can fit into any holiday home plan. We also like how affordable they are compared with many options. Philips Hue Festavia String Lights If you want lights that can serve for any holiday event, Festavia is right for you. Length : 100 to 500 bulbs If you're tired of taking different kinds of holiday lights out for each event and then putting them away again, the Philips Hue Festavia lights are made for every holiday event. The indoor/outdoor light string can become any color with the Hue app, right down to each LED to set up the exact theme you want. Add in a Hue Bridge ($60, supports all Philips Hue smart lighting) and you can enable an automatic music sync too. These lights work with Alexa , Google Assistant, and Apple Siri . Nanoleaf Essentials Matter Holiday String Lights Nanoleaf has a few unique tricks for easy holiday setups. Length : 300 bulbs This Nanoleaf string has many vaunted smart features, including Matter with support for Apple Home/Siri , Google Home and Amazon Alexa, plus music syncing. It also has an in-line controller for folks who may not want to mess with a new app during decorating. But our favorite feature by far is the Screen Mirror on PC: Download the Nanoleaf app and you can make the lights immediately mirror whatever colors are on your computer screen, allowing for really creative setups. Twinkly 200-foot Strings Twinkly has some of the best extra-long light strings. Length : 26 to 200 feet If you hate chaining light strings together to cover a sizable spot in your home, we suggest Twinkly's extra-large 200-foot LED string, which gets it all done in one go. The indoor/outdoor lights sport 750 LED bulbs, along with Alexa/Google Assistant support. The app is a bit more limited than some, but that's a great fit for those who just want to set basic colors and timers with some easy light mapping -- without creating headaches. You can add a Twinkly mic ($30) , sold separately, to help with music syncing. Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights Pro Govee's permanent lights could be the perfect holiday light solution for some homeowners. Length : 100 to 200 feet Are you the type who hates to take Christmas lights back down again and finds they "accidentally" get left up year-round? Make it official with this elite Govee installation. Made especially for your eaves but flexible with placement, these lights adhere bulb by bulb for a permanent display. They can provide everyday lighting, then switch to holiday themes and synced flashing when the season rolls around. The lights are cuttable and spliceable for placement or repairs, and they even work with the Govee motion sensor to activate when people draw near. To learn even more about your smart lighting options, make sure to check out our guide to the best overall smart lights , top indoor smart lighting tips and the best smart plugs that can give even the dumbest Christmas lights smart features. Oh, and if you're annoyed at LED lights dying out all the time, we've got a guide on exactly why that's happening .American Electric Power Co. Inc. stock outperforms competitors on strong trading dayAs artificial intelligence (AI) companies, creatives, and copyright holders clash, Canada’s has teamed up with another early-stage music technology startup to build what it says will be a “completely legal and licensed” AI song generator. The company has partnered with India-based to develop the new service, which will combine Musical AI’s rights management platform with Beatoven.ai’s AI song generation software. They say the AI song generation model, which they plan to launch in the second half of 2025, will be trained on over three million songs, loops, samples, and sounds—all with permission from and compensation for rights holders. AI has : this partnership comes amid . Many musicians have against more predatory applications of AI to music, while others have the technology as a tool for supporting their work. Meanwhile, some of the companies powering the creation of AI songs have from record labels alleging that they have scraped copyrighted songs to train their models without consent. “Generative AI is already playing a significant role in music creation,” Musical AI co-founder and CEO Sean Power told BetaKit over email. “Rather than fighting it, we believe that it’s important to lead by example in creating tools that honour artists’ contributions and compensate them fairly.” Beatoven.ai is among the growing group of AI companies that help users generate full songs based on text, audio, and video prompts. It has gathered traction as a tool for making royalty-free background music for videos, podcasts, audiobooks, games, and other uses: Beatoven.ai claims it has helped over 1.5 million users create more than six million tracks to date. It claims to provide musicians with “equitable compensation” for contributing their music. Enter Musical AI. Founded by Power and two other musicians with experience in tech—COO Matt Adell and CTO Nicolas Gonzalez—the startup has built rights management, licensing, and attribution tech for AI music. “Our aim was to develop a system where rights holders could securely license their music for AI training with proper attribution and compensation, and where AI companies could access high-quality data ethically and legally,” Power said. “We launched Musical AI in late 2023 after recognizing the tension between advancements in AI-generated music and the rights of musicians and record labels,” Power said. “While lawsuits against AI companies for using copyrighted music without consent were a factor (and it was obvious they were coming), our decision was largely driven by a deeper understanding of the need for a collaborative solution.” Musical AI’s software helps intellectual property (IP) holders like musicians and record labels get paid for licensing their musical data to generative AI companies. The startup aims to offer music rights holders access to new revenue streams and help them retain control over how their IP is used, while also protecting AI companies and their clients from lawsuits. Musical AI already has agreements with rights holders like Symphonic and Kanjian. To date, Musical AI has secured $1.3 million USD in equity funding as part of a pre-seed round led by Halifax’s Builder Ventures that it plans to fully close by early 2025. The round saw support from a group of angels including British musician Tommy Danvers of Ministry of Sound and Right Said Fred. The startup intends to raise seed financing during the first quarter of 2025. “We believe with this partnership, we will set the way forward for how business models need to be built in AI with the rightsholders being compensated for the data the models are trained on,” Beatoven.ai founder and CEO Mansoor Rahimat Khan said in a statement. “We have historically been adopting this model in direct partnerships with independent artists and by joining hands with Musical AI we will build a sustainable revenue-sharing model using their attribution technology.” Though this partnership with Beatoven.ai, Musical AI will provide data licensing, attribution of generated outputs, and payments to rights holders, who the company said will receive “an appropriate share” of the model’s revenue based on usage, likening it to how they are paid when music is streamed on a commercial service. This AI song generation model will be trained on the existing rights holder catalogues of Musical AI. “As musicians ourselves, we view AI as a valuable addition to the industry—one that opens up new possibilities without diminishing the role of the human at the centre of the creative process,” Power said. “It’s crucial to us that AI models respect and acknowledge the contributions of human creators, which is why proper rights management and attribution are at the core of what we do.” Power said it is up to artists and listeners to shape the future of music and AI. “Whether AI is used as tools to help song creation, or to generate background music for content, or even to create entire songs without human input—consumer preferences will drive these developments,” he said. Musical AI hopes to ensure that it is “used in a way that benefits everyone.”In Pictures: Jimmy Carter continued campaigning long after leaving power

The Cardinals have been much more productive in the pass rush with 23 sacks over the past six games. That ranks third in the NFL over that span. Key injuries Coach Mike Macdonald said he is optimistic that P Michael Dickson (back spasms) will be able to play this weekend, but bringing in another punter this week is “on the table.”.. LB Uchenna Nwosu has a chance to play this week. Nwosu missed the first four games of the season with a knee injury, then injured his thigh in his first game back in Week 5, and has been on injured reserve since. ... The Cardinals are relatively healthy. DLs Darius Robinson (calf) and Dante Stills (back) have been limited in practice this week. Series notes The Seahawks have won six straight games in the series going back to 2022. The Cardinals last won 23-13 on Nov. 21, 2021.

WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba Needs 171 yards for his first 1,000-yard season, and to become the 10th player in franchise history to reach that mark. ... Arizona has won three straight games at home. The Cardinals outscored those opponents 77-30 while scoring nine touchdowns and allowing none. ... TE Trey McBride has caught 12 passes in two straight games, which is the first time a tight end has had at least 12 receptions in two straight games in NFL history. ...
