The San Jose Sharks placed veteran forwards Oskar Lindblom, Jacob Peterson, and Ryan Carpenter on waivers Friday, likely clearing the way for forward William Eklund and Thomas Bordeleau to be on the team’s 23-man roster for the start of the regular season.NHL teams have 24 hours to claim either Lindblom, Peterson, or Carpenter. If one or more of the players clear waivers, the expectation is they will be assigned to the San Jose Barracuda, the Sharks’ AHL affiliate.Lindblom, 27, is in the second year of a two-year, $5 million deal he signed with the Sharks in July of last year as a free agent.Per CapFriendly, if Lindblom clears and is assigned to the AHL, he’ll continue to count $1.35 million against San Jose’s cap.Peterson, 24, was qualified as a restricted free agent by the Sharks and signed to a one-year, two-way deal worth $775,000 at the NHL level. Carpenter, 32, received the same contract when he signed with the Sharks as a free agent in July.Although the Sharks wer...Mailbag: Marquee Big Ten matchups on the West Coast, Pac-2 legal affairs, CFP access, Hotline coverage plans and more

In the battle of space-minded billionaires, Elon Musk has paved the way with SpaceX as Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has had to play catchup with his company Blue Origin. The first launch of a pair of satellites for Amazon set for Friday could prove to be both a boon for the future of Blue Origin and also give Musk some serious competition for one of SpaceX’s money-making ventures.The duo of test internet-providing satellites are the first for Amazon’s Project Kuiper. The Project Kuiper Protoflight is scheduled to launch on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s Space Launch Complex 41 with a two-hour launch window that opens at 2 p.m.Space Launch Delta 45 forecasts an 70% chance of favorable weather conditions for launch, and 85% in the event of a 24-hour delay.Amazon has plans to launch 3,236 of the satellites, with the majority flying from Cape Canaveral on either Bezos’ Blue Origin New Glenn rockets or ULA’s new Vulcan Centaur rockets, which will ...Deadly flood in northern India was feared for years

By Ashok Sharma and Sibi Arasu | Associated PressNEW DELHI — Hundreds of rescuers dug through slushy debris and fast-flowing, icy water Friday in a search for survivors after a glacial lake overflowed and burst through a dam in India’s Himalayan north, a disaster that many had warned was possible for years.The flood began in the early hours of Wednesday, when water overflowed a mountain lake. It smashed through a major hydroelectric dam downstream and then poured into the valley below, where it killed at least 41 people, carrying bodies kilometers (miles) away, and forced thousands to flee their homes.It wasn’t clear what triggered the deadly flood, the latest to hit northeast India in a year of unusually heavy monsoon rains. Experts pointed to intense rain, and a 6.2 magnitude earthquake that struck nearby Nepal on Tuesday afternoon, as possible contributors.But the disaster also underscores a climate dilemma that pits local environmental activists who say dams in the H...Police find dozens of bodies at funeral home under investigation

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A federal judge in North Dakota has denied a request from supporters of congressional age limits to temporarily allow out-of-state petition circulators as they seek to advance their proposed ballot measure.U.S. District Court Judge Daniel Hovland on Thursday said their request for a preliminary injunction “will be addressed in due course” and after North Dakota’s secretary of state and attorney general, who are named in the federal lawsuit, have been able to respond and a hearing can be held.The measure’s backers sued over state constitutional provisions and laws that require that initiative petition circulators be North Dakota residents. Out-of-state petition circulators are currently subject to misdemeanor penalties of up to nearly a year’s imprisonment, a $3,000 fine, or both. Hovland denied a requested temporary restraining order, which is a short-term, more immediate block than a longer-lasting preliminary injunction.“In this case, it appears b...Solicitar la FAFSA podría ser más fácil en el 2024: Mira cómo
