SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — In a story published September 22, 2023, about property insurance, The Associated Press erroneously reported that insurers must pay into a fund to provide coverage for people who can’t get coverage through no fault of their own. The fund is primarily funded by policies sold to customers. Insurers only pay into the fund if it is insolvent or to keep it from going insolvent.Source

LAS VEGAS (AP) — It didn’t take long for Saul “Canelo” Alvarez to consider Las Vegas his second home.He came here to fight Jose Cotto on May 10, 2010, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, and right away Alvarez felt the support from his Mexican compatriots.Alvarez won that fight by technical knockout in the second round, the first of many trips to Las Vegas. He is back again, this time as the unified super middleweight champion preparing to face junior middleweight champ Jermell Charlo on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena.“I think it’s the capital of boxing,” Alvarez said of Las Vegas. “I just feel (it’s) like coming home because a lot of Mexicans go there and support me. So that’s why I like fighting in Vegas, and there’s a lot of history there.”The 33-year-old Alvarez has been a big part of that history, whether it’s beating Gennadiy Golovkin twice with another fight ending in a split draw, or defeating Shane Mosley, Daniel Jacobs or Sergey Kovalev. His favo...

AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France (AP) — France captain Antoine Dupont was “doing as well as possible” six days after surgery on his facial fracture, a team spokesman said on Thursday at the Rugby World Cup.Dupont suffered a broken jaw in an illegal head-on-head tackle against Namibia and had surgery the next day. He hasn’t been publicly seen since the game.The scrumhalf is considered rugby’s best player and there are doubts whether the injury will allow him to return to the tournament. He can wear a mask, World Rugby has said.“The swelling has gone down,” France team health manager Bruno Boussagol said.“He’s having some pain that’s linked to the head injury, but which has nothing to do with the post-op. He’s doing very well. He’s in high spirits. He’s quite confident.“The plan for him is a visit to the surgeon, which is going to happen fairly quickly. It’s a post-surgery visit to assess his progress and to give the first instruction...

Delivery driver who shot YouTube prankster acted in self-defense, jury finds

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:19:02 GMT

A Loudoun County jury ruled Thursday that a delivery driver acted in self-defense when he shot a YouTube prankster who was following him around a mall food court earlier this year.Alan Colie, 31, was acquitted of aggravated malicious wounding, the most serious charge he faced in the shooting of Tanner Cook, 21, who runs the “Classified Goons” YouTube channel. Colie was, however, found guilty of unlawful discharge of a firearm in an occupied building.The April 2 shooting at the food court in Dulles Town Center, about 45 minutes west of the nation’s capital, set off panic as shoppers fled what they feared to be a mass shooting.Colie’s defense attorney, Adam Pouilliard, said during Thursday’s closing arguments that his client felt menaced by the 6-foot-5 (1.95-meter-tall) Cook during the confrontation, which was designed to provoke a reaction that draws viewers to Cook’s YouTube channel.Cook, Pouilliard said, “is trying to confuse people to post videos. He’s not...

How Gov. Polis plans to keep national parks open during shutdown

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:19:02 GMT

(NEXSTAR) – As the clock ticks closer to the looming weekend deadline, a government shutdown was looking increasingly likely Thursday. A federal shutdown could end up being bad news for hundreds of thousands of federal workers, people who rely on government assistance to pay for food, and those with a trip planned to one of the country's 425 national park sites. Since the National Park Service is largely funded through Congressional appropriations, all 63 national parks, plus hundreds of additional monuments and sites, "are at risk of closing Oct. 1" if the government doesn't reach a deal to keep the government funded, writes the National Parks Conservation Association, a group that advocates for protecting the parks.Some national parks could stay open if states decide to use their funding to keep them up and running. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has directed agencies to create plans to continue operations of the state's four national parks and federal lands. “Colorado’s beautiful nati...

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (KDVR) — There are a few ways for you to soar like a bird — you can hang glide, you can skydive (although that’s more like falling) or you can learn to fly an airplane.FOX31 took a ride with Jonathan Prichard, who's been doing just that since he was knee-high to a Piper Cub. The volunteers vital to Colorado’s state parks “When I was a little kid, I’ll say maybe 6 or 7 years old, my dad, he flew and he’d take me up when I was little. I got the bug really early," Prichard said.Starting out, Prichard put in a lot of simulator flight time in the comfort of his own home."For me, I feel I picked it up fairly quickly. Maybe because of all the flight simulation I did at home when I was little," he said.At Centennial Airport, Prichard is enrolled in Independence Aviation Flight School where he is learning to fly without looking out of the cockpit. They call it IFR: instrument flight rules.“VFR stands for visual flight rules. That means I have to maintain separation from t...
