By MICHAEL R. SISAK, ERIC TUCKER, JENNIFER PELTZ and WILL WEISSERT (Associated Press)NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump surrendered to authorities Tuesday at a Manhattan courthouse ahead of his arraignment on criminal charges stemming from a hush money payment to a porn actor during his 2016 campaign.Trump himself described the experience as “SURREAL” as he traveled from Trump Tower to a lower Manhattan courtroom, where he was to face a judge as the first former president in American history to be criminally prosecuted.A stone-faced Trump entered the courtroom shortly before 2:30 p.m. without saying anything.The arraignment, though expected to be brief and procedural in nature, amounts to a remarkable reckoning for Trump after years of investigations into his personal, business and political dealings. The case is unfolding against the backdrop not only of his third campaign for the White House but also against other investigations in Washington and Atlanta that might yet ...

They dropped to second place behind the Dallas Stars (42-21-14, 98 points) via the tiebreaker on Monday night and the Colorado Avalanche 45-24-6, 96 points) are right behind with two games in hand.The good news for the Wild is as of Tuesday afternoon, according to Tankathon, they have an easier strength of schedule than both the Stars and the Avalanche down the stretch.Here a look at games left for each team:Wild (five games): Pittsburgh Penguins, St. Louis Blues, Chicago Blackhawks, Winnipeg Jets, Nashville PredatorsStars (five games): Philadelphia Flyers, Vegas Golden Knights, Detroit Red Wings, St. Louis Blues (twice)Avalanch...

Trump’s surrender at courthouse creates New York spectacle

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 05:22:54 GMT

By BOBBY CAINA CALVAN and DEEPTI HAJELA (Associated Press)NEW YORK (AP) — A small park built on a site that was once a swampy, sewage-filled pond was ground zero for the frenzy surrounding former President Donald Trump’s surrender Tuesday at a courthouse in Lower Manhattan.Hundreds of onlookers, protesters, journalists and a few politicians swarmed into the confines of Collect Pond Park across the street from the criminal courthouse where Trump was to be arraigned. Trump entered the courthouse surrounded by Secret Service agents and out of view of demonstrators gathered in the park. The crowd was small, by the standards of New York City protests, which routinely draw thousands. And fears that unruly mobs might force police to shut down swaths of the city proved to be unfounded, with security measures mostly disappearing within a couple of blocks.But within the park and the surrounding sidewalks, there was plenty of chaos.Metal barricades separated Trump supporters from a...

Coloradans wrestle with the public water versus private land conundrum regularly. Stream access laws aim to protect property owners from — among other things — outdoor enthusiasts trespassing on private land to fish in the public water. It leaves swaths of river nearly untouched, but a new company is working to connect private landowners with anglers in a mutually beneficial relationship.RareWaters fashions themselves as the “Airbnb of fly fishing.” The company, launched in 2020, connects landowners with river access to fly fishers eager to find a stretch of river less crowded than somewhere publicly accessible.“Public watersheds (are) getting a little overcrowded, overpressured and overrun, which isn’t good for the fish, it’s not good for the habitat, and not good for the water,” said Denver-based RareWaters founder Brenden Stucky. “And it’s not good for the angling experience. So we’re trying to kind of flip the script and provide special experiences at an affordable rate.”A...
