Judges temporarily block Tennessee law letting state pick 6 of 13 on local pro sports facility board

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 20:58:54 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A panel of judges has blocked a new Tennessee law that would reconfigure the group overseeing professional sports facilities in Nashville by letting state leaders pick six of its 13 board members.Late last week, three judges agreed the law targeting the Nashville Sports Authority likely violates home rule protections in the state constitution by singling out Nashville and failing to require approval by local voters or two-thirds of the metro council. The temporary injunction blocks the law while the lawsuit by the city proceeds through court. The law would have taken effect Jan. 1.The ruling marks a fourth court decision against the state in the broader legal battle over laws passed by Republican legislators this year that dilute Democratic-leaning Nashville’s control, ranging from oversight of the international airport, to the size of the combined city-county metro council.Established by city officials under a corporate charter in 1995, the Nashville Sports ...

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 20:58:54 GMT

(The Hill) - The Biden administration declined to veto the ban on certain Apple Watch imports into the U.S., letting the ban officially take effect Tuesday. This means Apple will no longer be selling affected models at its stores or online. This comes as Apple faces a legal dispute over the technology the smartwatches use to run the blood oxygen feature on the devices.On Oct. 26, the International Trade Commission (ITC) upheld a January ruling that sided with the medical technology company Masimo, which in 2021 sued Apple for patent infringement at the ITC over the Apple Watch Series 6.Masimo accused the tech giant of poaching employees and stealing trade secrets related to the light-based technology for measuring blood-oxygen levels, which was first featured in the Apple Watch Series 6 smartwatch. Everyone you know sick? 9 states reach CDC’s highest level for respiratory illness Masimo originally sued Apple in federal court in 2020, but the case ended in a mistrial in M...

Broncos stock report: Too little, too late from Russell Wilson, Denver’s core players Sunday night vs. Patriots

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 20:58:54 GMT

Stock UpRB Jaleel McLaughlinThe Broncos rookie running back had 10 touches for 67 yards and looked poised to do more than that early in the game. McLaughlin has limitations, but he’s fast, he can make defenders miss and he brings a dynamic Denver’s other backs don’t have. It would be interesting over the last two games to see him take on a more significant role in Sean Payton’s offensive plan, both as a runner and a pass-catcher.WR Brandon JohnsonThe second-year man stepped in for Courtland Sutton (concussion) and played as extensively as he has all year. Johnson has been limited since returning from injured reserve several weeks ago but got 47 snaps and caught three balls for 47 yards and a touchdown, plus a two-point conversion. Johnson’s got burst, which he put on display on his 21-yard scoring grab. Depending on how Sutton progresses through concussion protocol, Denver may rely on Johnson again Sunday.TE Lucas KrullDenver might have found a useful player over the longer term in ...
