Continúan los esfuerzos de búsqueda de un sumergible desaparecido en el Océano Atlántico norte. Cinco personas se embarcaron en una expedición para recorrer los restos del Titanic el domingo. Pero el buque de investigación canadiense Polar Prince perdió contacto con el sumergible de 21 pies conocido como Titán después de una hora y 45 minutos. Un oficial de la Guardia Costera de EEUU dijo el martes por la tarde que al Titán le quedan aproximadamente 40 horas de oxígeno, lo que significa que el suministro podría agotarse el jueves por la mañana temprano.

CROMWELL, Conn. (AP) — Nathan Grube, the tournament director of the Travelers Championship, used to worry about the years when the U.S. Open took place on the West Coast.Many of the world’s top golfers would make a decision to take a break the week following the major or head to Europe to begin preparing for the Open Championship, rather than travel across the country to play at TPC River Highlands in Connecticut.But this year, in response to LIV Golf, the Travelers was elevated to one of 17 so-called “designated” PGA Tour events, with a much bigger purse and a near mandate for top golfers to play, giving the tournament the guarantee of a strong field.“I can tell you with certain confidence that I probably wouldn’t have been here even though I love the tournament so much,” Masters champion Jon Rahm said Tuesday. “With that said, they’ve done a great job making players comfortable. Having a charter flight always makes it a lot easier, maybe not for the best two or three p...Las expediciones turísticas del OceanGate al Titanic son reales, y son peligrosas

(CNN) — Solo un puñado de personas ha visto los restos del Titanic en persona, porque muy pocos tienen lo que hace falta para visitarlos: recursos económicos, acceso a expertos y la voluntad de aceptar el importante riesgo que implica para la seguridad.Pero para quienes estén dispuestos a pagar, la empresa de turismo e investigación OceanGate Expeditions ofrece misiones de ocho días que permiten a los clientes explorar el Titanic a casi 4.000 metros bajo la superficie del océano en embarcaciones submarinas de fibra de carbono y titanio con sólo cinco plazas.

DENVER (AP) — Months after Colorado’s voters decided to join Oregon in decriminalizing psychedelic mushrooms, Denver will host a conference this week put on by a psychedelic advocacy group bringing together an unlikely cohort of speakers — including an NFL star, a former Republican governor and a rapper.The conference and the thousands expected to attend it is an indication of the creep, or perhaps leap, of cultural acceptance for psychedelic substances that proponents say may offer benefits for things like post-traumatic stress disorder and alcoholism. Still, medical experts caution that more research is needed on the drugs' efficacy and the extent of the risks of psychedelics, which can cause hallucinations. Psilocybin, other psychedelics, officially decriminalized in Colorado NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who’ll soon debut with the New York Jets after years with the Green Bay Packers, has been open about his use of ayahuasca in the past and is slated to speak Wednesday.

(The Hill) – Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) is forcing a House vote on impeaching President Biden over his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border and immigration policy, making a surprise privileged motion Tuesday evening that will require House floor action on the matter this week.Walking off the House floor on Tuesday, Boebert said that while House GOP leadership was aware she would make the privileged motion, the date of further action was still being scheduled with leadership. A notice from House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) on Tuesday indicated that Democrats will make a motion to table the resolution when it comes up for a vote on the floor, a procedural move that would block the resolution from coming to the floor for a vote. Rep. Lauren Boebert files for divorce from husband Boebert’s impeachment resolution, which she introduced earlier this month, includes two impeachment articles: one for abuse of power, and another for dereliction of duty.In the first ...Suspect steals CSP patrol car, dies in crash

Police arrested a suspected accused of assaulting a man on board an Amtrak trolley. According to Miami-Dade Police, Shevon Gooden, 27, entered a trolley at the Amtrak station, located at 3861 NW 21 St., Tuesday afternoon. When Gooden was in the trolley, he began to raise his voice and started speaking in a nonsensical language. The driver of the trolley, Sanchez, 65, asked Gooden to calm down, which only made him more irate. Gooden then started to focus his anger towards Sanchez and began closing the distance between them. Fearing for his life, Sanchez exited the trolley, but Gooden started to follow him. Gooden held a shiny metal object and continued to speak in a nonsensical language towards Sanchez. He then struck Sanchez with a closed fist on his shoulder. After he struck Sanchez, Gooden walked away but was taken into custody by responding officers. Gooden was transported to Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center and faces charges of battery on a person 65 or older. Durin...West wants to look the other way on UAE money laundering

BERLIN — Germany, the U.S. and several other Western countries are pushing a global money-laundering watchdog to give the financial system in the United Arab Emirates a clean bill of health despite persistent indications that the country remains a haven for illicit transactions, according to European oversight officials and others familiar with the matter. The Paris-based Financial Action Task Force (FATF) placed UAE on its so-called gray list, effectively a shot over the bow of wayward financial jurisdictions, in March 2022, citing serious deficiencies in UAE’s measures against sanctions evasion, terror financing and other crimes. The designation, which put the country just one step away from FATF’s dreaded “blacklist,” was a significant reputational blow to the Middle East’s largest financial center and also threatened to impair the country’s long-term credit ratings, though that has yet to happen. The long-term risk to UAE’s status as a business center i...Latest news
