jh nn gaming People in urban communities of the Bay Area are likely already used to the screech of tires that can signal the presence of a nearby . Although this aspect of car culture is native to Northern California, police are cracking down on them due to the dangers and inconveniences posed. Sideshows are informal, and often illegal, car shows where drivers perform tricks in front of a crowd, often taking place in vacant parking lots or even in wide street intersections. Some . According to San Jose Deputy Police Chief Brandon Sanchez, the term “sideshow” was a spin-off of “high-siding,” when a person sits on the passenger side window of a car while someone else was driving. The term evolved as high-siding became a spectator sport into sideshows. Oakland native and Northeastern University professor Mario Hernandez said that sideshows were based in a masculine, muscle car culture around classics like Ford Mustangs, Chevrolet Camaros and Dodge Chargers. Although some people showed off their cars by washing them before an event, sideshows also attracted drivers with older, junkier cars, he said. There was a DIY aspect to the culture, with people hooking up amps and wires through their car. “It’s an extension of yourself in a lot of ways, because it’s like you put time and energy and money into it,” Hernandez said. Sideshows commonly include racing and driving donuts with the doors open. An infamous and dangerous trick is ghost-riding, which is when someone exits a car while it is in drive and stands or dances in the street alongside the moving vehicle. Hernandez said another common sight is people sticking out of the sunroof as someone else drives. Sideshows in the Bay Area have taken place at all times of the day and night, sometimes running into the early hours of the morning. Although young people participating and watching sideshows in the past kept their activities to abandoned or unused areas, like parking lots, University of Redlands professor Jennifer Tilton said local businesses and city leaders complained about tire tracks in the street and the noise in the late evening and early morning hours caused by drivers, large crowds and loud music, leading to police cracking down. Aside from the danger posed by the stunts performed by drivers, Sanchez said violence has been increasing around sideshows. He gave examples of stolen vehicles, assaults and people in the crowd carrying guns and shooting them off into the air. He also pointed to looting and vandalism of storefronts near intersections where sideshows occur. While the crackdowns pushed some events into neighborhoods and smaller street intersections, other sideshows moved to large arteries, like Stevens Creek Boulevard and Winchester Boulevard, which interrupted the flow of traffic. When police came to bust drivers, the resulting car chase became a part of the thrill and added to the danger. Additionally, because sideshows would attract large crowds, Sanchez said it can take “almost a small army” to break up the activity, which puts a strain on the police’s resources when they are needed elsewhere. For as long as sideshows have existed, expression and enforcement has been a cat-and-mouse game between promoters and police. People driving in sideshows can be charged with a misdemeanor offense such as reckless driving, and face a number of penalties, including fines, jail time, vehicle impoundment or driver’s license suspension. In some California cities, including San Jose and Oakland, , jail time, probation or community service. Since the early 2000s, Oakland has passed a series of laws criminalizing sideshows, enabling police to seize involved cars and ticketing people for watching them. The Oakland Department of Transportation introduced a pilot program in 2021 intended to curb sideshow activity: One part included building curb extensions and traffic islands to reduce the number of intersections where a sideshow could take place, and another focused on modifying street surfaces with different materials, like steel plates, to deter sideshow activities in a low-cost way. In San Jose, Sanchez said the police use a variety of strategies to find and break up sideshows and their organizers, leading to a “nice downward tick” in sideshow activity in the South Bay city. They monitor social media to find out when and where a sideshow might occur and schedule more officers on duty, if possible. They also also use license plate reader cameras and other intelligence to identify promoters, spectators and the cars they drive. Because sideshows can quickly move from intersection to intersection, Sanchez said they also share information with other Bay Area jurisdictions to identify drivers and vehicles. “What we’ve tried to do in San Jose is try to bring some awareness to sideshows, the violence that actually comes with it,” Sanchez said. Related Articles Sideshows first started coming onto the scene around the late 1980s and early 1990s, said Tilton. One of the most notable places where sideshows took place was the Eastmont Mall parking lot, she said. Formerly a car factory in the early 20th century, the location provided jobs for working class people. But as East Oakland integrated in the late 1960s, the predominantly white community in the area moved out to the suburbs, taking their businesses and their capital with them. The mall — built in the early 1980s to serve a burgeoning population of mostly Black middle class residents — was on the decline by the end of the decade, leaving young people without a major recreational outlet. Tilton said the young people in East Oakland, specifically young Black people, at the time told her that there was “nothing to do in East Oakland” and there were “no spaces in which they were welcome.” So, sideshows were born out of their boredom and lack of public space where they could come together. And in the early days, it was seen as a positive thing young people could do with their time as an alternative to getting involved in the drug market.

Manila: The Philippines Vice President Sara Duterte said she has contracted an assassin to kill the president, his wife and the House of Representatives speaker if she herself is killed, in a brazen public threat that she warned was not a joke. Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin referred the “active threat” against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr to an elite presidential guards force “for immediate proper action”. It was not immediately clear what actions would be taken against the vice president. Vice President Sara Duterte’s threat was taken seriously, though she later tried to walk back the remarks. Credit: AP The Presidential Security Command boosted Marcos’ security and said it considered the vice president’s threat, which was “made so brazenly in public”, a national security issue. The presidential security force said it was “coordinating with law enforcement agencies to detect, deter, and defend against any and all threats to the president and the first family.” Duterte, a lawyer, later tried to walk back her remarks and said they were not an actual threat but only an expression of concern over an unspecified threat to her own life. “If I expressed the concern, they will say that’s a threat to the life of the president?” she said. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr and his wife Louise Araneta. Credit: AP “Why would I kill him if not for revenge from the grave? There is no reason for me to kill him. What’s the benefit for me?” Duterte told journalists. Under the Philippines penal code, such public remarks may constitute a crime of threatening to inflict a wrong on a person or his family and is punishable by a jail term and fine. The Philippines Constitution says that if a president dies, sustains a permanent disability, is removed from office or resigns, the vice president takes over and serves the rest of the term. Marcos ran with Duterte as his vice-presidential running mate in the May 2022 elections and both won with landslide victories after a campaign calling for national unity. The two leaders and their camps, however, rapidly had a bitter falling-out over key differences, including in their approaches to China’s aggressive actions in the disputed South China Sea. Duterte resigned from the Marcos cabinet in June as education secretary and head of an anti-insurgency body. Like her equally outspoken father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, the vice president became a vocal critic of Marcos, his wife Liza Araneta Marcos and House Speaker Martin Romualdez, the president’s ally and cousin, accusing them of corruption, incompetence and politically persecuting the Duterte family and its close supporters. Her latest tirade was set off by the decision of House members allied to Romualdez and Marcos’ to detain her chief of staff, Zuleika Lopez, who was accused of hampering a congressional inquiry into the possible misuse of her budget as vice president and education secretary. Lopez was later transferred to a hospital after falling ill and wept when she heard of a plan to temporarily lock her up in a women’s prison. In a pre-dawn online news conference, an angry Sara Duterte accused Marcos of incompetence as a president and of being a liar, along with his wife and the House speaker in expletives-laden remarks.

Credit: Getty When asked about concerns over her security, the 46-year-old suggested there was an unspecified plot to kill her. “Don’t worry about my security because I’ve talked with somebody. I said, ‘If I’m killed, you’ll kill BBM, Liza Araneta and Martin Romualdez. No joke, no joke,’” the vice president said without elaborating and using the initials many use to call the president. “I’ve given my order, ‘If I die, don’t stop until you’ve killed them.’ And he said, ‘Yes,’” the vice president said. Amid the political divisions, military chief General Romeo Brawner issued a statement assuring that the 160,000-member Armed Forces of the Philippines would remain nonpartisan “with utmost respect for our democratic institutions and civilian authority”. “We call for calm and resolve,” Brawner said. “We reiterate our need to stand together against those who will try to break our bonds as Filipinos.” Rodrigo Duterte, Marcos’ predecessor and the vice president’s father, was behind a police-enforced anti-drugs crackdown as a city mayor and later as president that left thousands of mostly petty drug suspects dead in killings that the International Criminal Court has been investigating as a possible crime against humanity. The former president denied authorising extrajudicial killings under his crackdown but has given conflicting statements. He told a public Senate inquiry last month that he had maintained a “death squad” of gangsters to kill other criminals when he was mayor of southern Davao city.

TORONTO — The Grey Cup-champion Toronto Argonauts signed American running back Kevin Brown on Friday. The five-foot-nine, 205-pound Brown rushed for 522 yards on 101 carries in 12 games last season with the Edmonton Elks. He added 22 catches for 138 yards before finishing the ’24 campaign on the CFL club’s practice roster. In 2023, Brown ran for 1,141 yards and four TDs with Edmonton. He also had 28 receptions for 222 yards and a touchdown. Brown, 28, spent three seasons with the Elks, running for 2,149 yards (six-yard average) and five TDs. He added 74 catches for 536 yards and a touchdown in 37 regular-season games. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 13, 2024. The Canadian PressThe children's hospital said it was working with the National Crime Agency after the data was stolen and posted on the dark web Alder Hey Children's Hospital is working with the National Crime Agency after data was stolen and illegally posted online. Alder Hey confirmed on Thursday, November 28 that it was aware data from systems shared by the children's hospital and Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust had been hacked and shared online. Technology trade magazines have reported that a cyber criminal operation called the INC Ransom group claims to have stolen the data. It's been reported that the group have published screenshots of data on the dark web that contains the personal information of patients, donations from benefactors and procurement information. The children's hospital said: "We are aware that data has been published online and shared via social media that purports to have been obtained illegally from systems shared by Alder Hey and Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust . We are working with partners to verify the data that has been published and to understand the potential impact. "We are taking this issue very seriously and are working with the National Crime Agency as well as partner organisations to secure our systems and to take further steps in line with law enforcement advice as well as our statutory duties relating to patient data." Alder Hey said the incident was not linked to issues seen at Wirral University Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust earlier this week. The Wirral trust - responsible for Arrowe Park Hospital, Clatterbridge Hospital and Wirral Women and Children's Hospital - was the victim of a cyber attack on Monday, November 25. Hundreds of appointments were cancelled and staff were forced to manually record notes as the systems holding records were down. In an update yesterday the hospital trust said it expected the issues to continue over the weekend with some procedures postponed. However, the Wirral trust said people were advised to continue to attend scheduled appointments unless told otherwise. Despite the data breach, Alder Hey - which treats more than 450,000 patients a year making it one of Europe's busiest children's hospitals - said its services continue to operate as normal and "patients should attend appointments as usual". Infosecurity Magazine reported INC Ransom had posted on its data leak site that it had obtained large-scale data patient records, donor reports and procurement data for 2018-2024 from the children's hospital. ComputerWeekly added the cyber group claimed in March this year to have stolen data concerning over 140,000 clinical and back-office staff across the NHS in Scotland.

AP Sports SummaryBrief at 4:56 p.m. ESTHAVANA, Cuba – The Trump-Rubio duo has shaken the Cuban regime to its core. They were overly confident that Kamala Harris would replace the barely-feared Joe Biden in the White House, bringing a few more years of that silly game of the “unblocked blockade.” A relaxation of sanctions, sprinkled with excessive niceties, has allowed the communists to reap massive benefits, as the ambiguities, loopholes, and cracks in the embargo have undoubtedly been the biggest boon for those who don’t need to produce anything because they’ve grown accustomed to living off scams, handouts, extortion, corruption, and double standards. Now, as dreaming does indeed cost dearly, they have awakened in the midst of what could be the worst political scenario for those who have designed a “socialist economy” built on mass emigration, remittances, and over a hundred offshore companies—many of them based in the United States—focused on imports to the island, online sales, and parcel delivery. Above all, however, these companies operate as a silent influence network, always ready to act on the “combat order.” Cubapack: GAESA’s MIPYME Operating in Miami This setup, more political than economic, was designed by Cuban intelligence with the dual purpose of generating money while also cultivating pro-dictatorship allies among American businessmen, politicians, academics, and intellectuals. But this scheme could now be at risk of collapse—or at least dispersion or neutralization—if someone like Marco Rubio, an expert on Cuban affairs who will soon have the power to make more effective decisions, places it squarely in his line of vision as a critical target to provoke the implosion of Castroism, which grows weaker every day due to internal power struggles born from systemic corruption. Confident in the power of its repressive apparatus, Castroism is increasingly convinced that neither an internal rebellion, no matter how strong, nor pressure from opposition groups (inside or outside the country) will be able to topple it—so long as no one cuts the umbilical cord stretching from Miami to Havana, carrying everything the dictatorship needs to sustain and strengthen itself. With the election of the current Florida senator to his new position, there are growing opportunities for U.S. policy toward Cuba to focus objectively on the regime’s neuralgic points and finally break out of the prolonged standstill that has allowed the regime not only to profit from what should be bleeding it dry but also to ideologically infiltrate the U.S. political system. This includes attempts to influence elections on one hand and to compromise national security on the other. This is even more alarming considering that in the last 10 years, Castroism has worked to solidify itself as the main unconditional ally of Russia and China—a reality the Biden administration has downplayed, despite the fact that this cooperation has extended into the military domain. This includes submarines and fleets docked in Havana Bay, troop exchanges, Cuban military training in Moscow, weapons and combat equipment upgrades, and, most critically, the establishment of military support protocols in case of social unrest or armed conflicts. Not since the so-called “October Crisis” or “Missile Crisis” of the 1960s has the United States faced such a dangerous situation regarding Cuba’s alliance with Russia. And never before has Washington’s response to what is indisputably a direct threat been so tolerant—not to say “weak.” The administration has ignored what are not speculations but facts, openly reported by official Russian and Cuban media, as well as additional undisclosed details that can be easily verified through the frequency and level of exchanges, the composition of delegations, and the high-ranking military officials leading them. Marco Rubio and the Key to Castroism’s Implosion Marco Rubio, as the head of U.S. diplomacy and a knowledgeable expert on these dangers, as well as on the role played in favor of the dictatorship by Cuban regime influence groups in Florida—led by those “businessmen” who have thrived on the cracks in the “embargo” (and by a large portion of the recently arrived “renewed” immigrants who have taken advantage of a migration policy that does not distinguish between repressors and refugees)—will soon hold the key to triggering the mechanism for implosion. He will also have the power to put a stop to what is not just a silent invasion but a guerrilla war that began long ago—perhaps when OFAC first issued a license in favor of any frontman.
