American Airlines grounded all of its U.S. flights for about an hour Tuesday morning after a glitch of its flight operations system, leading to widespread flight delays. Flight-tracking website FlightAware showed at least a few dozen American Airlines flights delayed Tuesday morning, including five whose departures from the Washington area’s Reagan National Airport were pushed back more than 90 minutes, and nine delayed an hour or more at American’s hub, Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. American reported a “technical issue” affecting all flights in a 6:37 a.m. social media post. Less than an hour later, a pilot on an American Airlines flight from Washington to Chicago told passengers around 7:35 a.m. that the issue had been resolved, and a spokesperson for the Federal Aviation Administration said around 8 a.m. that the ground stop had been lifted. The company later said the ground stop was caused by a technology issue with one of its vendors, which impacted the system it uses to release flights. “We sincerely apologize to our customers for the inconvenience this morning,” the airline said in a statement. The airline told pilots that there had been a systemwide outage of its Flight Operations System, said Dennis Tajer, a spokesman for the Allied Pilots Association, a union representing American Airlines pilots. The system handles flight planning, dispatch, weight and balance data, he said. The system, which American has used for many years, “is at the heart of everything we do ... everything feeds out of it,” Tajer said, adding that one pilot was asked to take all passengers off the flight and reboard them because the system lost their information. When the ground stop was first implemented, more than a dozen American Airlines flights were waiting at National, even as planes from Southwest, United and other rival airlines took off. American Airlines passengers fretted about missing connecting flights and holiday gatherings. After the ground stop was lifted, airline staffers scrambled to load bags, deice planes and complete other tasks that pushed some flights’ estimated departure back more than two hours. Passengers complained about being rebooked for connecting flights, with some pushed to Christmas Day. “It’s all hands on deck as our team is working diligently to get customers where they need to go as quickly as possible,” American Airlines said in a statement. As of 11 a.m., less than 36 percent of American Airlines flights systemwide were departing on time, while about 59 percent were leaving within an hour of their scheduled departure, Tajer said. “[The outage] happened at the worst part of the day, but getting a resolution so early in the day is a real relief,” Tajer said. “These are all indications that the system is recovering and we are not seeing a major cascading failure.”Jimmy Carter, the 39th U.S. president, has died at 100

AgriLife: Leave leaf litter alone for overwintering insectsEach week The Sunday Times speaks with State MPs ahead of the March election. This week we speak with Labor MP for Nedlands, Dr Katrina Stratton In 2012, my partner Steve was killed in a motorbike accident. He clipped a kerb and he was thrown from his bike. My children, Cate and Oliver, were 3 and 9 when that happened. Steve was out for a ride at night. I was in bed, when police came to the door to essentially wake me up to a very different life. The person who taught me about courage was my grandmother, Marjorie Stratton, who lost two of her four children — and despite those losses, she loved with great ferocity. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. I have two amazing children, and I got out of bed every day for them. Steve would be so proud of the young people Cate and Oliver have become — kind, loving, protective and respectful. But I also had the most beautiful support from my family, my mum and dad, Richard and Jenny, and my dear mother-in-law, who has since passed away. Mum and Dad sold their house in Subiaco and moved in around the corner from the kids and I in Nedlands. They’ve been close by to help with the kids and juggling my various roles. It changes shape. It never leaves you. I will miss Steve every day for the rest of my life. I had a good experience with love. Not everyone can say that. If it (love) comes to me again that would be lovely but if it doesn’t, I have a lot of love in my life with two amazing kids and friends and family. Road fatalities take me back to that knock on the door. Your life is forever changed. Behind every news story, every report of a road death, there is another family that has got that knock on the door and their lives changed forever and thrown into a whole new world that they didn’t want. That your split-second decisions — to not wear your seatbelt, to look at your phone while you are driving, and get into the car when you have one too many drinks, to drive when you are tired, to speed — those split-second decisions that you make will have an impact on your family across the generations. Social work to me is inherently political. We work with people where systems aren’t working for them, or are impacted by poverty, violence and other issues. Politics to me was a natural progression. I am incredibly grateful to Mark McGowan. I wouldn’t have won Nedlands had it not been for his leadership (during COVID) and that of Roger Cook who was Health Minister during that time. When Dr Sally Talbot announced she was retiring I was given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to move to the Legislative Council. My social work background means I have a broad policy interest, and I think being in the Council — if I’m elected — will be a very good fit for me. We did the extension at Shenton College. And the children’s hospice, Sandcastles. That’s something I am really proud of. Sick and dying children will go there for respite. Families will be able to stay together. I’d say, ‘If you dare, put yourself in the shoes of those parents and imagine that if you had to face the worst possible thing that any family could face, a dying child, you’d want to be in an environment that was entirely focused on you and your child’. Maintaining good quality public education, which is why I’m proud of the expansion of Shenton College and the second stage opening of Bob Hawke College. Climate change is another big concern for people in Nedlands. It’s what social workers call a wicked problem. There is no one solution. It starts at home. We have to stop our boys listening to Andrew Tate (American social media identity and misogynist). We have to teach all our kids to engage in respectful relationships and what that looks like, as well as addressing the hard end — police responses, refuges and crisis support. We need to have women’s refuges where they are needed — like in the inner city. I will wear my high heels until my feet refuse. The 18th century widow Clicquot defied tradition and the law to create what is now this delicious champagne but hers is also a story of reinvention and becoming your true self in the face of tremendous loss, or grief. Given my background, I’d love to be the minister for the prevention of family and domestic violence, women’s interests, and communities. But minister (Sabine) Winton is doing an amazing job. Genuine. Approachable. Experienced. Omnishambles.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes continues to build great chemistry with his tight end — just not the one you might think. Mahomes threw two touchdown passes to Noah Gray for the second straight week as the Kansas City Chiefs held off the Carolina Panthers 30-27 on Sunday. A week after losing at Buffalo, the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs (10-1) maintained their position atop the AFC. Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content.

The digital coin’s price has more than doubled year-to-date, inching closer to the $100,000 threshold and increasing the implied value of all bitcoin in circulation to almost $2 trillion. With a friendly White House, a buyer spending billions, and new financial products launching, there’s reason to think it could stay there. Donald Trump’s U.S. presidential election victory heralds an administration that has enthusiastically embraced crypto. During his campaign, the president-elect touted ideas like creating a strategic bitcoin reserve, support for “miners” who create new coins, and firing the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler, who has pushed back against exotic schemes. Already, Trump’s team has met with industry executives to discuss creating a White House job focused on cryptocurrency policy, Bloomberg reported. That could nix litigation against cryptocurrency purveyors, or speed crypto-friendly legislation, further solidifying bitcoin’s incursion into traditional finance. Under the first Trump administration, U.S. traders gained access to regulated products like futures and options contracts. In early 2024, exchange-traded funds run by giants including BlackRock that track the spot price won approval, and now collectively hold $85 billion in digital assets. Following their roll-out, which opened crypto up further to retail buyers, bitcoin’s price spiked. The latest novelty is options trading on those ETFs, which began Wednesday for BlackRock’s BLK.N iShares Bitcoin Trust IBIT.O, drawing $2 billion in volume that day alone, according to Bloomberg. A derivatives market could smooth bitcoin’s famed volatility, while pulling in buying from market makers. It also helps that there’s a $100 billion buyer with a seemingly inexhaustible appetite in MicroStrategy MSTR.O. The company owns about 1.6% of all bitcoin and said in October that it would raise $42 billion over three years to buy more. The market, for now, is eagerly feeding the beast: on Wednesday, MicroStrategy priced $2.6 billion of bonds bearing zero interest that can convert into stock. Others are joining in. Some 78 companies together hold more than $80 billion in bitcoin as treasury assets, according to data from BitcoinTreasuries.net. They may be encouraged by MicroStrategy’s example. Its shares, despite effectively being a bet on bitcoin, have outperformed the currency’s vertiginous rise. This is, to be clear, a moment of extreme hype, and “crypto winters” have crushed bitcoin’s price before. Yet it’s also a perfect storm of political and financial support. Now more than ever, the hype cycle might become self-sustaining. Source: Reuters (Editing by Jonathan Guilford and Streisand Neto)

Jimmy Carter , who followed a principled yet tumultuous single term in the White House with a post-presidency dedicated to human rights and peace advocacy, has died. At 100, Carter — who was born on Oct. 1, 1924 — lived longer than any other U.S. president and had the longest post-presidency. His grandson, Jason Carter, spoke at the Democratic National Convention and said that the former president was looking forward to voting for Kamala Harris. In 1974, not even five months after Richard Nixon resigned the presidency, Carter entered the race for the Democratic nomination as a virtual unknown. At the time, Gallup polled a list of 31 possible Democratic contenders, and Carter’s name didn’t even make the list, according to The New York Times. Then in his first and only term as governor of Georgia, Carter had even appeared on the game show What’s My Line?, to a maskless panel that had trouble identifying who he was. Carter used his political anonymity to his advantage, running as an outsider who could bring to Washington just the type of integrity and personal morality needed in the aftermath of the Watergate era. His decision to campaign heavily in the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses proved fortuitous, as he used the media attention from his unexpected showing as springboard for the rest of the nomination contests. In Hollywood, the relatively young Carter became a celebrity in his own right, forging ties with Lew Wasserman that gave him an entree into fundraising and celebrity circuit. That proved to be a lifeline at key moments in the campaign: At one point, according to The Washington Post , Carter’s campaign was so broke that Wasserman quickly organized a fundraiser that got the campaign a badly needed $200,000. After securing the nomination, Carter was initially way ahead of his rival, President Gerald R. Ford, who was hurt by his decision to pardon Nixon as well as an intra party battle with its conservative wing. The gap narrowed in the final weeks of the campaign, though, after Carter, a born-again Baptist, gave an interview to Playboy in which he said, “I’ve looked on a lot of women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times.” Carter still won the election, but by a rather narrow 297-240 electoral votes. His victory was greeted as a new era of good government in Washington — the Carter smile a contrast to the scowl of Nixon. The fact that he was from Georgia was touted as a sign of a new South, built on the rather superficial idea that the racial divisions of the 1960s were in the past. Pop culture seized on the moment with light-hearted movies like Smokey and the Bandit and TV series like The Dukes of Hazzard that generally presented the region as one of rednecks and good ole’ boys. ABC even scheduled a rural sitcom, Carter Country, that ran for two seasons. In the first line of his inauguration speech, Carter thanked Ford “for all he has done to heal our land,” but the new president signaled a shift to a center-left approach to government. In the White House, Carter shunned the pomp in favor of a more populist image: He did away with the playing of Hail to the Chief at ceremonies, and resurrected Franklin Roosevelt’s fireside chats, as he instructed Americans on conservation during the ongoing energy crisis. Even with large majorities of Democrats in the House and Senate, however, Carter’s early days in D.C. drew friction. A scandal forced a close aide, Bert Lance, from office, while the administration’s clashes with Democrats in Congress, on such things as pork barrel spending, hurt his agenda. His leadership style drew criticism for a lack of delegation. One widely shared story was that he even oversaw the schedule for play on the White House tennis court, although Stuart Eizenstat, said that Carter only wanted to ensure that he or First Lady Rosalynn Carter weren’t using it at the same time. “The notion that he micromanaged the schedule is just incorrect, but it fit in with this notion of excessive attention to detail. It was actually an act of huge generosity to his staff,” Eizenstat said at the National Book Festival in 2018. Carter’s energy policy was later seen as prescient, decades before climate change became a national priority with a solution to conserve and wean the public off of fossil fuels. The energy crisis of 1979 saw Americans again facing long lines at gas stations. Carter gave a nationally televised speech that summer, when he said that the problem was a “crisis of confidence.” “The erosion of our confidence in the future is threatening to destroy the social and the political fabric of America.” Although he never used the word, it became to be known as the “malaise” speech, contributing to the impression that Carter’s administration was flailing. The pinnacle of his presidency came on Sept. 17, 1978, when, following 12 days at Camp David, he announced a peace deal between Israel and Egypt, with a treaty signed the following year. Broadcasters interrupted their regular primetime programming — which that night included the Emmy Awards — to cover the deal. His foreign policy successes, though, were overshadowed by the Iranian hostage crisis. In November, 1979, following the revolution that ousted the U.S. supported Shah, a group of students seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, taking 52 diplomats and citizens hostage. The resulting attempts to free the hostages consumed Carter’s presidency. A rescue attempt on April 24, 1980 failed after helicopter crashes forced the mission to be aborted. Each night, Americans were reminded of the crisis on TV, as ABC created nightly reports called America Held Hostage with Ted Koppel, the forerunner to Nightline. Despite the ongoing crisis Carter was still viewed as having an incumbency advantage going into the 1980 presidential race, but his political fortunes turned as he faced a serious primary challenge from Edward Kennedy. Although he beat him for the presidential nomination, the intra-party battle left Democrats divided. More bruising to Carter’s political fortunes, though, was stagflation, or rising inflation combined with slowing economic growth and high unemployment. A recession in early 1980 coincided with the start of Carter’s reelection campaign. On the right, Ronald Reagan secured the Republican nomination with a mix of personal charisma and an ability to connect with working class voters, who came to be known as Reagan Democrats, disaffected with the state of the economy. Although Carter and his team tried to characterize Reagan as too extreme and untrustworthy, the former actor turned in a superior debate performance, in part with just one line in response to the incumbent president’s criticisms: “There you go again.” Reagan’s landslide was a bruising defeat for Carter, who was relatively young, 56, when he left office. He sold off his peanut business, then in deep debt , to Archer Daniels Midland, and earned a generous advance for his memoirs, Keeping Faith , the first of dozens of more books. But far from retiring, Carter pursued some of the human rights policy focus of his White House tenure. He built houses for Habitat for Humanity. He tried to solve the problem of Guinea worm disease in African countries and other regions, and, with his initiative, it has been nearly eradicated. He supervised elections. At times he acted as a peace broker, as he did during the Camp David accords. More than 20 years after leaving office, in 2002, Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. “War may sometimes be a necessary evil,” Carter said in his acceptance speech. “But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn to live together in peace by killing each other’s children.” After his presidency, he and Rosalynn returned to Plains, GA, where they continued to be active members of the community. The former president’s regular Sunday school lessons at Maranatha Baptist Church became a stopping point for politicians and tourists until he was well into his 90s. In a profile in 2018, The Washington Post reported that Carter was “the only president of the modern era to return full-time to the house he lived in before he entered politics.” The Carters’ two-bedroom ranch home was assessed at $167,000, less than the cost of the Secret Service vehicles parked outside, the Post noted. James Earl Carter Jr. was born on October 1, 1924. He was raised in Plains and graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy. He left his naval career in the 1950s to focus on the family business, peanut farming. At the time, Georgia was defiant in its resistance to segregation, but Carter spoke out in favor of school integration. He entered state politics in 1962 and was elected to the state senate, in an unlikely campaign that foreshadowed his work as an international election observer. He lost the Democratic primary, but proved widespread vote fraud orchestrated by a local political boss. Among other things, 117 voters had allegedly lined up in alphabetical order to cast their ballots, a fact that Carter recounted in his 2015 book, A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety. He eventually got on the general election ballot and won. Carter ran for governor of Georgia in 1966, but lost the primary to segregationist Lester Maddox. Carter ran against in 1970 and won. Carter is survived by three sons, John William (Jack), James Earl III (Chip) and Donnel Jeffrey (Jeff) and a daughter, Amy Lynn. His wife, Rosalynn, died in November 2023. They had been married for 77 years, longer than any presidential couple.
