MARBLEHEAD - A school committee member from Beverly has spoken out against her colleagues after Beverly and Marblehead committees said they are not closer to a deal. School committee member speaks out Kimberley Coelho from Beverly's school committee spoke out against her colleagues on social media on Saturday. She says that what she has seen from her fellow committee members is "disgusting" and forced her to speak publicly. "What is abundantly clear is some [committee members] do not want to settle a contract. Instead, feel more concerned about breaking the union's spirits and dividing our community. I feel the legal advice of our counsel is wrong and only delays reopening schools. With all of this nonsense, what kind of school community will remain?" Coelho is a mother of two students in the Beverly Public School system. She said that she ran for the committee to advocate for students, parents, and educators and to make sure that Beverly was "one of the best districts in the Commonwealth." "I encourage my fellow elected leaders in Beverly to stand up to this madness and implore the Mayor to settle a fair contract with the BTA this weekend. Please let us get our children back to school, our educators back to work, and our families and communities on the path of restoration and healing," Coelho said on Facebook. "It's weird not having school" Standing in the freezing rain Saturday, Marblehead teachers rallied for a 12th day and showed their support for their students for the annual Powder Puff football game. "I miss my students a lot, that's why we are here to support our powder puff girls that just went to go play football," said Marblehead special education teacher Laura Weiss. "We want to be here for them. We want to be back at school with them." The Gloucester School Committee said Friday it reached a tentative agreement with the union on a new contract and students and teachers will be back in class on Monday. But teachers are still on strike in both Beverly and Marblehead. "It's weird not having school," said Drew DePhillips, a junior at Marblehead High School. "You're so used to that routine and waking up, and going, seeing your teachers, seeing their faces. It's just sad to see what they're going through." Marblehead School Committee leaders maintain the union's asks are still unaffordable. "It's really really simple. We are asking for fair and equitable wages, a modern family leave, and safe schools," said teacher Connor Ryan. "The mood is high. Everyone is resolute. We are out here until we get a fair contract." Governor Maura Healey on teachers strikes Governor Maura Healey released a statement about the ongoing strikes in Marblehead and Beverly. She said that she had spoken to everyone involved and thinks an agreement will be reached this weekend. "If they don't reach that agreement, they should ensure that students can return to the classroom on Monday while these negotiations continue," Healey said in a statement. "It is unacceptable that students have been out of school for over two weeks. It's hurting our young people, parents and families above all else. Students need to be back in school on Monday." She said that negotiations must continue during the weekend and that she would be requesting updates from the districts. "Our young people need to be back in school," Healey said. Negotiations still unresolved In Beverly, the school committee began its 16th day of mediation. The primary sticking points are salaries, paid parental leave, family sick leave, and increasing pay for paraprofessionals. The Beverly School Committee said if a deal is not reached by Sunday at 6 p.m., they will be forced to begin a state-led fact-finding process which could take months to resolve. "Throughout this process, we have attempted to balance what our educators have requested with what is possible both for the financial health of our City and what the district needs to be able to successfully educate our students," said the Beverly School Committee in a statement. "So Gloucester, I am so happy that our union siblings over there were able to settle a contract fair and just," said Beverly teacher Kris Melanson. "I know that that can happen here and I know that can happen in Marblehead too. It's time for a school committee to stop playing games, start getting to the table, and let's resolve this thing." School leaders in both communities have said students will potentially have to make up missed days of school during February and April vacations.

Oliver Glasner declared Crystal Palace are on the right path after they finally broke their away duck with a 1-0 win at Ipswich. Jean-Philippe Mateta struck in the second half with the only real piece of quality in a nervy encounter between two struggling teams. It is now two wins and three draws from the last six matches for Glasner’s side, whose winter revival is gathering pace nicely following a sticky start to the campaign. “I feel very happy, we’re all very pleased with the result, it was not the best performance but the result was more important,” said the Eagles boss. “Most of the time we controlled the game and we scored an amazing goal, a fantastic finish from JP. “We had more chances to decide the game but we couldn’t, but I think the win was well deserved. “We didn’t give them any chances from open play and with a clean sheet you can always take the win. “It’s a big win. Now it’s not time to sit back and relax but to keep going. In four days we face Manchester City. We stay humble. There are still many things to improve but we are on the right path.” Ipswich looked the likelier to score as a low-key first half drew to a close and were denied by a point-blank save by Dean Henderson from Harry Clarke’s near-post header. Shortly after the interval Wes Burns got clear down the right and lifted an inviting cross towards Liam Delap, whose header was straight at Henderson. However, from out of nowhere Palace conjured up a lightning counter-attack to go ahead on the hour. Eberechi Eze led the charge before feeding Mateta, who surged forward with a couple of stepovers before brushing off the attention of Jacob Greaves and finishing superbly past Arijanet Muric. It was the French forward’s sixth goal of the season, and his first away from Selhurst Park. Back came Ipswich with Leif Davis fizzing in another cross for Delap, who somehow mistimed his jump and completely missed the ball from six yards. As time ticked down Greaves looped a header against the far post, with the rebound just eluding substitute Ali-Al Hamadi. “Frustrating night,” said Town boss Kieran McKenna. “It was a tight first half, we weren’t fantastic in terms of the flow of the game and didn’t create as many opportunities as we wanted. But having said that neither did our opponents. “In the second half we conceded a really poor goal and that proved decisive. We can do better than we did tonight.”

By TOM KRISHER, Associated Press DETROIT (AP) — For a second time, a Delaware judge has nullified a pay package that Tesla had awarded its CEO, Elon Musk, that once was valued at $56 billion. On Monday, Chancellor Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick turned aside a request from Musk’s lawyers to reverse a ruling she announced in January that had thrown out the compensation plan. The judge ruled then that Musk effectively controlled Tesla’s board and had engineered the outsize pay package during sham negotiations . Lawyers for a Tesla shareholder who sued to block the pay package contended that shareholders who had voted for the 10-year plan in 2018 had been given misleading and incomplete information. In their defense, Tesla’s board members asserted that the shareholders who ratified the pay plan a second time in June had done so after receiving full disclosures, thereby curing all the problems the judge had cited in her January ruling. As a result, they argued, Musk deserved the pay package for having raised Tesla’s market value by billions of dollars. McCormick rejected that argument. In her 103-page opinion, she ruled that under Delaware law, Tesla’s lawyers had no grounds to reverse her January ruling “based on evidence they created after trial.” On Monday night, Tesla posted on X, the social media platform owned by Musk, that the company will appeal. The appeal would be filed with the Delaware Supreme Court, the only state appellate court Tesla can pursue. Experts say a ruling would likely come in less than a year. “The ruling, if not overturned, means that judges and plaintiffs’ lawyers run Delaware companies rather than their rightful owners — the shareholders,” Tesla argued. Later, on X, Musk unleashed a blistering attack on the judge, asserting that McCormick is “a radical far left activist cosplaying as a judge.” Legal authorities generally suggest that McCormick’s ruling was sound and followed the law. Charles Elson, founding director of the Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware, said that in his view, McCormick was right to rule that after Tesla lost its case in the original trial, it created improper new evidence by asking shareholders to ratify the pay package a second time. Had she allowed such a claim, he said, it would cause a major shift in Delaware’s laws against conflicts of interest given the unusually close relationship between Musk and Tesla’s board. “Delaware protects investors — that’s what she did,” said Elson, who has followed the court for more than three decades. “Just because you’re a ‘superstar CEO’ doesn’t put you in a separate category.” Elson said he thinks investors would be reluctant to put money into Delaware companies if there were exceptions to the law for “special people.” Elson said that in his opinion, the court is likely to uphold McCormick’s ruling. Experts say no. Rulings on state laws are normally left to state courts. Brian Dunn, program director for the Institute of Compensation Studies at Cornell University, said it’s been his experience that Tesla has no choice but to stay in the Delaware courts for this compensation package. The company could try to reconstitute the pay package and seek approval in Texas, where it may expect more friendlier judges. But Dunn, who has spent 40 years as an executive compensation consultant, said it’s likely that some other shareholder would challenge the award in Texas because it’s excessive compared with other CEOs’ pay plans. “If they just want to turn around and deliver him $56 billion, I can’t believe somebody wouldn’t want to litigate it,” Dunn said. “It’s an unconscionable amount of money.” Almost certainly. Tesla stock is trading at 15 times the exercise price of stock options in the current package in Delaware, Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas wrote in a note to investors. Tesla’s share price has doubled in the past six months, Jonas wrote. At Monday’s closing stock price, the Musk package is now worth $101.4 billion, according to Equilar, an executive data firm. And Musk has asked for a subsequent pay package that would give him 25% of Tesla’s voting shares. Musk has said he is uncomfortable moving further into artificial intelligence with the company if he doesn’t have 25% control. He currently holds about 13% of Tesla’s outstanding shares.

Customer service chatbots can be annoying – but new advancements in technology means they are unlikely to go anywhere, according to Jess Kelly. Over the years, customers have made it increasingly clear that they do not appreciate their complaint being referred to a chatbot. Many shoppers find these bots to have incredibly limited capabilities, often leading to frustration if no alternative communication is available. Newstalk’s Tech Correspondent Jess Kelly told Moncrieff that large language models similar to ChatGPT are being used to improve this technology. “Rather than having three or four pre-programmed responses and then that’s the extent of it, they are now using the technology of the likes of ChatGPT to converse in a humanistic way ,” she said. “So, for example, if you write your very thoughtful, very specific question into that box, it’ll then understand the context. “It’ll be able to direct you based on not only the company's manual, but [also by] taking bits of information from your question.” Ms Kelly said that as advancements continue to be made, it will soon become impossible to tell if you are talking to a human or an AI assistant. “The application - and the addition of the large language model technology - will transform customer service ,” she said. “Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, I don’t know – but you will struggle to identify when you are talking to a chatbot versus a human. “Personally speaking, as a millennial who struggles to talk to people, this is my dream.” According to Ms Kelly, this technology could become incredibly useful for planning holidays and other experiences. “The big thing that it will be useful for, I think, if when you’re booking a holiday in the future,” she said. “Rather than clicking through 17 different tabs and menus and all the rest, you’ll be able to just word vomit the type of experience you want – who's going on the trip, your interests, the restaurants that you want to eat in, all the rest – and by having a conversation, your trip will be booked.” Ms Kelly said that instances of chatbots breaking and giving out nonsensical answers are becoming less and less common. Listen back here:NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — Scottie Scheffler brought a new putting grip to the Hero World Challenge and felt enough improvement to be satisfied with the result, a 5-under 67 that left him three shots behind Cameron Young on Thursday. Young was playing for the first time since the BMW Championship more than three months ago and found great success on and around the greens of Albany Golf Club, chipping beautifully and holing four birdie putts from 15 feet or longer for his 64. He led by two shots over Justin Thomas in his first competition since his daughter was born a few weeks ago. Thomas ran off four straight birdies late in his round and was a fraction of an inch away with a fifth. The big surprise was Scheffler, the No. 1 player in golf who looked as good as he has all year in compiling eight victories, including an Olympic gold medal. His iron play has no equal. His putting at times has kept him from winning more or winning bigger. He decided to try to a “saw” putting grip from about 20 feet or closer — the putter rests between his right thumb and his fingers, with his left index finger pointed down the shaft. “I’m always looking for ways to improve,” Scheffler said. Scheffler last year began working with renowned putting instructor Phil Kenyon, and he says Kenyon mentioned the alternative putting grip back then. “But it was really our first time working together and it’s something that’s different than what I’ve done in the past,” Scheffler said. “This year I had thought about it from time to time, and it was something that we had just said let’s table that for the end of the season, take a look at it. “Figured this is a good week to try stuff.” He opened with a wedge to 2 feet and he missed a 7-foot birdie putt on the par-5 third. But he holed a birdie from about the same distance at the next par 5, No. 6, and holed a sliding 6-footer on the ninth to save par. His longest putt was his last hole, from 12 feet for a closing birdie. “I really enjoyed the way it felt,” he said. “I felt like I’m seeing some improvements in my stroke.” Young, regarded as the best active player without a PGA Tour victory, is treating this holiday tournament as the start of a new season. He worked on getting stronger and got back to the basics in his powerful golf swing. And on this day, he was dialed in with his short game. He only struggled to save par twice and kept piling up birdies in his bogey-free round on an ideal day in the Bahamas. “The wind wasn’t blowing much so it was relatively stress-free,” Young said. Patrick Cantlay, along with Scheffler playing for the first time since the Presidents Cup, also was at 67 with Ludvig Aberg, Akshay Bhatia and Sahith Theegala. Thomas also took this occasion to do a little experimenting against a 20-man field. He has using a 46-inch driver at home — a little more than an inch longer than his regular driver — in a bid to gain more speed. On a day with little wind, on a golf course with some room off the tee, he decided to put it in play. “Just with it being a little bit longer, I just kind of have to get the club out in front of me and get on top of it a little bit more,” Thomas said. “I drove the hell out of it on the back, so that was nice to try something different and have it go a little bit better on the back.” Thomas said the longer driver gives him 2 or 3 mph in ball speed and 10 extra yards in the air. “It’s very specific for courses, but gave it a try,” he said. Conditions were easy enough that only four players in field failed to break par, with Jason Day bringing up the rear with a 75. AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golf
