Mickay Katsuta also known as Michay Katsuta and Mick, 36, was charged with aggravated assault as a third-degree felony, a magistrate’s complaint filed in Superior Court of Guam states. According to documents from the AG’s office, Katsuta has several prior convictions starting in 2011. He was convicted on a 2011 misdemeanor assault charge. Ten years later in 2021 he was charged with possession of an open container in a motor vehicle and was convicted on those charges. The next year in 2022 he was charged with criminal mischief and possession of a Scheule II controlled substance and later convicted on those charges. Earlier this year he was charged with family violence and later convicted of the charge. Katsuta faces five years in prison for the new aggravated assault charge. According to court documents, police were called to New Palms Market in Dededo around 4:22 p.m. Dec. 21 in response to a call about a man with a machete. At the scene, officers observed a man carrying a machete and matching the description aired out by dispatchers. The man, later identified as Katsuta, was detained by officers at the scene. Police met with a man who said Katsuta was yelling “What’s up? What’s up?” while drinking beer. The man said Katsuta began to approach him as he was walking toward his vehicle. When Katsuta was less than two feet away from the man, Katsuta swung the machete at the man’s head, only missing it by inches, documents state. The man said he felt the machete blade on his shoulder, the complaint states. Police viewed surveillance footage from New Palms Market and observed Katsuta swinging a machete at the man’s head so closely it appeared from the footage as if the machete made contact with the man’s head, the complaint states. Katsuta was then arrested and transported to the precinct. He was committed to Department of Corrections on a $5,000 cash bail. The footage was widely shared on social media along with messages about other attacks happening at other stores. The surveillance video shows a man with a machete swinging at another man in a store’s parking lot. The 9-second video shows the attacker swinging at a man with the machete as he is walking to his car and the man dodging the attack. The man with the weapon continues to follow the other man before the video ends. GPD spokesperson Officer Berlyn Savella said rumors circulating on social media about other attacks have not been verified as factual, but police are looking into the viral messages. “The Guam Police Department confirms that the video circulating is related to an isolated incident. We encourage the public to rely on vetted and confirmed information to avoid unnecessary panic and chaos within the community,” Savella said. Should anyone have any information related to this incident or other crimes, contact Guam Police Dispatch at 671-475-8615 through 8617 or send information to Crime Stoppers where a person’s identity remains anonymous and information is kept confidential.

I've spent the past several years extensively testing PC components and without a doubt, the 990 Pro M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD is one of the picks you can make, even if you're using a PCIe 5.0 motherboard. While it's normally quite expensive, you can get the . This model doesn't come with a heatsink, but you can spend an extra $10 and select that option. While it's a PCIe 4.0 SSD (so heat isn't as much of an issue as it is with faster PCIe 5.0 SSDs), in my testing, the heatsink definitely helped keep the drive's performance stable during heavy workloads. As such, definitely pick the heat sink option if you don't have a built-in heatsink on your motherboard. Today's best Samsung 990 Pro SSD deal More about this Samsung 990 Pro SSD deal The major reason why this PCIe 4.0 drive is so expensive at MSRP is that its sequential read and write speeds are pushing up against the very limit of what the PCIe 4.0 interface on a motherboard can handle. With this 32% Newegg discount, however, you can get it for one of the lowest prices I've seen for this drive. Rated for read speeds up to 7,450 MB/s and write speeds up to 6,900 MB/s, there's very little headroom left for the 7,500/7,000 MB/s read/write maximum for the PCIe 4.0 standard. In my , I found that the drive does, effectively, reach these speeds for a pretty common setup for most prosumer users and gamers. If you're still using a PCIe 4.0 system, this is probably the fastest drive you'll ever be able to use (and it is incredibly fast!). Even better, this drive will also work with your PS5 console, and can get upwards of 7,000 MB/s read speeds, which makes it fantastic for loading game content quickly.It’s a milestone for stoners. New York is set to hit the $1 billion mark in cannabis sales since the legal market launched two years ago, state officials tell The Post. “These numbers clearly indicate that New York is open for business. There’s strong momentum behind the market right now,” said John Kagia, policy director for the state’s Office of Cannabis Management. Pot sales hit $863.9 million as of last week — and they could top the billion-dollar mark by the end of December, regulators say. The state surpassed $500 million in sales in August. The market has ramped in recent months after a rocky rollout marred by lawsuits, a massive illegal market and enormous backlogs in the awarding of retail licenses issued by the often-criticized understaffed and overwhelmed OCM. The turmoil and hiccups delayed the state’s timeline to develop the new legal market for marijuana. Gov. Kathy Hochul ordered a management shake-up after a scathing report she commissioned in May issued blunt criticism of how the regulatory agency was run, and 64 new staffers were hired. OCM currently employs 213 full-time workers, said OCM rep Taylor Randi Lee. There are now 245 licensed retail weed outlets, up from 41 stores at the end of 2023. Retail sales of weed have generated $22 million in combined tax revenues for local governments, including $7.9 million to New York City, according to state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli’s office. More than $16.6 million in tax revenue from the pot business also flowed to the state treasury through June and is on pace to double last year’s total Kagia said beefed-up enforcement and the padlocking of illegal pot shops under a new law approved by Hochul and the state Legislature had a big and immediate impact on boosting the bottom line of licensed cannabis retailers. Sales more than doubled — soaring 105% — among cannabis retailers that were in business before “Operation Padlock” took place in the spring and afterward, a survey by OCM found. Hochul’s office claimed the pot market is now reaching new highs. “Thanks to Governor Hochul’s leadership, more than 1,000 illegal dispensaries have been shut down, and the legal market, nearing $1 billion in sales, is booming,” said Hochul spokesman Miguel Arreola. “Her policies have helped transform the industry, increase revenues for local businesses, and spur reinvestments in the communities most harmed by historical wrongs — all while building the most equitable cannabis market in the nation,” the Hochul rep added. But social-justice advocates complain that too few licenses have gone to operators in communities disproportionately impacted by the war on drugs when marijuana was considered a crime — 5% of those set aside for the “equity” market and 2.5% overall. Still, Kagia said, “Any kind of conclusion is entirely premature. We still have a huge number of licenses to issue.” He said the cannabis agency has instituted a better and more accountable licensing process, such as making a staffer ” a point of contact” responsible for handling an applicant or licensee. More staff is being added to reduce the backlog of applications, too, Kagia said. An analysis by LeafLink, an online platform where pot retailers buy their cannabis from wholesalers, said New York has turned the corner and is now an emerging market primed for growth. “It’s clear New York is moving past some of its initial challenges and is on the path to meeting the lofty expectations that surround this market,” said LeafLink Vice President for Policy Rodney Holcombe. “Similar to other new markets, more work needs to be done to make sure businesses have the environment and proper tools at their disposal to run their businesses efficiently.” New York can only go up. A recent study said it could support 1,000 new pot stores . The LeafLink report shows New York is a cellar-dweller compared to other states that have legalized cannabis. Oklahoma, for example, has 1,900 licensed pot shops. New York currently has 245. There’s also data on pot sales per resident: Alaska is tops with $350 per resident, and Michigan has sales of more than $300 per person. New York sales are under under $50 per resident, about half of even neighboring New Jersey — even though both states legalized pot around the same time. One Downtown Manhattan pot retailer said high times are ahead. “New York’s cannabis market is certainly beginning to take off, especially here in New York City where the appetite for regulated, high-quality products is growing in tandem with efforts to curb the illicit market,” said Vanessa Yee-Chan, owner and founder of Atta Dispensary at 52 Kenmare St., the first weed retailer to open in Chinatown. “Since our grand opening nearly two months ago, our customer base has consistently grown, and we’ve had to increase the frequency in which we place purchase orders for certain products to ensure we are keeping things in stock.”

Solid State Relay Market Revolutionizing Circuit Control with Energy-Efficient Solutions

Article content As injuries begin mounting a quarter of the way into the season, the Edmonton Oilers were hoping to get Darnell Nurse back in the lineup Saturday against the visiting New York Rangers. The veteran blueliner missed the previous three games after taking a vicious hit to the head from Toronto Maple Leafs forward Ryan Reaves on Saturday. A repeat offender, Reaves was suspended for a fourth time as the league handed down a maximum five-game penalty after Nurse was left dazed and bloody after taking a shoulder to the helmet while playing a puck that went in behind the Oilers net on the way to a 4-3 overtime loss. Also missing Viktor Arvidsson and Zach Hyman from their top-six forwards, the Oilers had gone with an 11-and-seven formation to carry an extra defenceman, calling up Josh Brown from the Bakersfield Condors of the American Hockey League. The Oilers went 1-2 in Nurse’s absence to enter Thursday’s game one game above .500 (10-9-2). “He’s a heartbeat back there for us, a guy everybody looks to,” Oilers forward Adam Henrique said following the morning skate at Rogers Place, which included Nurse. “I think he was playing fantastic before the injury and doing a lot of small things that I think sometimes can get overlooked. “We’ll wait to see what happens, but it will certainly be nice to have him back in the lineup at some point soon.” Sooner rather than later. And that goes for all injuries, if the team had its way. “He’ll be fresh and he plays big minutes and contributes as a big part of the team,” said fellow defenceman Brett Kulak. “It’s not just like calling someone and slotting them in for some minutes, he’s a big part of the team. “I think everything kind of happens around him, so it will be good to have him back.” And not just in his regular role on the second defensive pairing, but also on special teams, including an Oilers penalty kill that has begun to find its legs as of late, having gone a perfect 13-for-13 over the previous six games and not allowing a goal. “It’s a major adjustment, he plays all situations and a lot of minutes, everyone has to chip in and play more,” Kulak said. “It’s a different dynamic without him in the lineup. “He’s an incredible player and does a lot of great things.” In other words, the Oilers are finding out just how tough Nurse is to replace. “First of all, he plays 22-25 minutes a night, he’s good at transporting the puck, getting it out of the zone and the biggest thing is just how much area he covers defensively,” said head coach Kris Knoblauch. “To play against him, there’s not much room. One, because of his quickness. And two, his reach. And if you do get into a battle with him, he’s so incredibly strong that he could push somebody off the puck. “So, it’s difficult to play against him.” Thursday’s game was part of the NHL’s Hockey Fights Cancer fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Institute. As part, the Oilers had special nameplates above their lockers, with the words: “I play for,” followed by a blank. Kulak chose to dedicate the game to the memory of a late uncle. “Uncle Randy, he was my mom’s brother and he passed away to lung cancer when I was younger,” said Kulak, who was born and raised in Edmonton. “I forget what age I was when he passed away, I was pretty young. But I’ve still got some good memories of him. “One thing he always said was he was going to be my agent when I grew up and made the NHL, so that was kind of fun. I’m still sure in a way he’s up in heaven doing his job for me.” Kulak is holding up his end of the bargain, too, realizing his childhood dream of making the big league. And it certainly didn’t hurt having someone early on in the process think he could do it. “Definitely, it’s another stepping-stone along the way,” he said. “To see an adult that you look up to believe in you like that, it just kind of makes the dream feel a little more possible.” E-mail: gmoddejonge@postmedia.com On Twitter: @GerryModdejonge
