2023 MLB Cy Young award: Yankees ace Gerrit Cole finally wins first, Blake Snell scores second with Padres win
Both winners dominated their respective American and National League finalists
By: R.J. Anderson
Major League Baseball handed out more hardware on Wednesday night with the announcement of the 2023 Cy Young Award winners. New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole claimed the American League honors unanimously, while Blake Snell (formerly of the San Diego Padres) was deemed the National League’s top pitcher. For those unfamiliar with the process, these awards are voted on by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Their ballots are cast after the regular season and before the start of the playoffs. Already this week, MLB and the BBWAA have handed out the Rookie and Manager of the Year Awards. Here is the remaining schedule

Domingo German authors perfect game as Yankees top Athletics
In an up-and-down season that has included a suspension and a sub-.500 record headed into Wednesday’s start, German was masterful against the last-place Athletics, mixing his pitches, keeping his defense busy and engaged and posting nine strikeouts along the way.
German’s effort was the fourth perfect game in franchise history, and across MLB, it’s the first perfect game since Seattle’s Felix Hernandez delivered one on Aug. 15, 2012.
The first pitcher born in the Dominican Republic to pitch a perfect game, German also became the first player in MLB history to reach that feat after allowing 10-plus runs in his previous start, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. He joins Don Larsen (1956), David Wells (1998) and David Cone (1999) as Yankees pitchers to achieve the milestone. Larsen’s gem came in Game 5 of the 1956 World Series against the Brooklyn Dodgers.

WWE Professional Wrestling recently featured Action Park mock up movie “Action Point” star Johnny Knoxville who although won the match had to pin Sami Zayn by tying him to the table.
No help from other stars with Knoxville who were mercilessly pounded by Sami Zayn.
Either way the Action Park Championship Title if there was one goes to Sami Zayn who outperformed Knoxville with his “Bloodsport” style tactics.
Any star coming from Action Park to the WWE probably got what he deserved anyway, including tagging Sami Zayn with the humiliating loss of Johnny Knoxville who had to cheat to win.
Now the new name in town is Sami Zayn taking a piece of the Johnny Knoxville promotion status to the WWE with the ruthless beating of Knoxville.
Zayn has also just helped the “Bloodline” led by Roman Reigns, Tribal Leader, who is collecting titles by enlisting Prize Fighter Kevin Owens to back him for the Tag Team Championship win.
The titles kept in the “Bloodline” story for Roman Reigns were lost by other Tribe Members The Uso’s who were feeling pressure from Reigns to bring them more titles have now given them up to Prize Fighter Kevin Owens and Billy Zayn for the “Bloodline”.
The Uso’s I assume are now moving on in the tribe to seek bigger titles for themselves now that Zayn has finally pulled his weight in the WWE by enlisting Kevin Owens to help compete for Reigns by winning more titles for him and the “Bloodline” by now giving him access to the Prize Fighting Circuit for his title collections through the new alliance between Sami Zayn and Prize Fighter Kevin Owens.

OPINION: Failed Government Programs Lead To No Change In Police Response

OPINION:
Jason MacKenzie – internetnews.press
Another mass shooting in the United States and again we get the same thing, no new government response.
A failed government from a failed country, the economy is all obsolete products, covid based sales market full of scams and poor quality and now this, years of political talk and “gun control” and things have gone backwards.
What have we learned?
The local police can not control every random shooter, politicians running on the platform have totally failed.
Heading out of the 1980’s and 1990’s from political leaders in the Ronald Reagan era we never received much from their successors who left us with no housing marked, no new commercial products, failed computers full of spam that have to update everyday, obsolete products and multiple billing across one service – internet.
I mean how many devices do you need a bill for that only use one service anyway?
Total scam.
The last political group and their financial backers just never got it done, no products or customers in business to back their candidate for political change.
In the end it fell to us, University Graduates with no work to fire them.
As you can see that is what happened, the police just can’t get there every time people – that was the end of thirty years of politics, now it’s finally back to the status quo.
Hopefully in the future new political candidates can run on a platform that is not obsolete so we can have something to buy and vote for with our money, until then we’ll just have to spend it on something different.

Montreal Wins Second Place
SPORTS: Montreal wins second place in Stanley Cup Finals.
Emotional Brendan Gallagher says he takes nothing from ‘moral victories’ after Montreal Canadiens’ loss in Stanley Cup Final
TAMPA, Fla. — Brendan Gallagher wore the Montreal Canadiens‘ Stanley Cup Final loss on his face. There were the red welts on his cheeks, battle scars from intense confrontations with the Tampa Bay Lightning through five games. There were his red and puffy eyes, still visible under a pulled-down hat.
“Sorry,” said Gallagher, as one of the team’s most garrulous players searched for words after Montreal’s 1-0 defeat on Wednesday night resulted in a 4-1 series win for Tampa Bay. “It’s hard right now. We’ve got so many players who worked their entire career to get to this point. It’s a tough pill to swallow.”
The Canadiens were the surprise of the Stanley Cup playoffs. They rallied from a 3-1 deficit to eliminate the Toronto Maple Leafs in the opening round of the North Division playoffs. They swept the Winnipeg Jets in the second round. They sent the Vegas Golden Knights home in six games, after the Knights had eliminated the regular season’s best team, the Colorado Avalanche. All of this after Montreal finished with the 18th-best record in the NHL. No one expected much from the Canadiens — expect for the Canadiens.
“I take nothing out of moral victories,” Gallagher said. “At the start of the year when we sat down as a group, our goal was to be here. We expected to be here. Regardless of what people thought of our team, expectations were to win this series.”
The Lightning proved too much in the end. Their victory in Game 5 to claim their second straight Stanley Cup followed a gutsy overtime win by the Canadiens in Montreal to avoid the sweep. But the Canadiens couldn’t buck two playoff trends for Tampa Bay: The Lightning moved to 15-0 over the past two postseasons after a loss; and goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy pitched a shutout for the fifth straight time in a series clincher for the Lightning.
The Canadiens stood and watched Tampa Bay’s players flood the ice as the horn sounded, flinging their sticks and gloves to celebrate the championship.
“It’s not fun to watch someone else do what you want to do. Whether you’re watching on TV or standing on the bench, it’s the same feeling,” Montreal goalie Carey Price said.
Price was the team’s most valuable player through three rounds. He finished the Stanley Cup Final with an .882 save percentage, although he stopped 29 of 30 shots in Game 5.
“I don’t think I played well enough at the start of the series,” Price said when asked what the difference in the series was for Montreal.
Canadiens captain Shea Weber quickly corrected him.
“I don’t think that’s the case at all,” he said. “We weren’t good enough in front of Carey.”
It was just another example of the teamwork that exemplified this run for Montreal.
“There’s a lot more talented teams,” Gallagher said. “There’s no team that’s stronger as a group and with the resiliency that we showed.”
Interim coach Dominique Ducharme thinks the journey to the Final will benefit the Canadiens in the long run.
“We grew as a team a lot. We gotta use that the right way. We want to make it back here,” he said, “but with a different result.”

Did Ronald Reagan Help Or Abandon The South Bronx?
Is SAP Part Of The Data Breach?
A first hand account by Jason Mackenzie
Internet Blogger & Death Metal Band
LINK: www.internetnews.press
I have gotten to thinking that my story of the events of the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks I have been blogging about has been coming to a conclusion.
Working in business after 9/11 I am now beginning to think that 9/11 is the server data breach when the World Trade Center fell, when they lost the old computers in New York City with the financial server information on them.
This includes companies like SAP who may have been penetrated with scams after the attacks with other people running their scam servers on Wall Street.
SAP began in 1973 and went public on Wall Street on November 4, 1988 after the development of front end systems such as Windows which allowed previous software systems such as Univac in the 1960’s and 1970’s who ran government software on punch card systems and magnetic punch card tape drives.
In 1971 Xerox left the computer hardware manufacturing industry and hired IBM to switch their computer systems to IBM and part of their compensation for the payment to IBM was for the software migration was the original SAP software which they acquired for a credit of $80,000.
Later The Gazelle System I believe which became Windows was purchased by Microsoft for $50,000.
When the SAP software project was cancelled by IBM several of their engineers decided to leave and start SAP.
SAP the new software ran on the Windows front end which replaced the Univac magnetic punch card tape and punch card system.
Essentially, government computers ran Univac owned by Remmington-Rand Corporation at the time which is the non copyrightable part of SAP because it is University Computer Science work for research labs for companies like Remmington-Rand.
SAP is just the Windows software patch on the front end today.
An even worse event than 9/11 was several years earlier with the burning of the South Bronx in New York City.
Now I am thinking that this could also have been a data breach in the 1970’s during the Univac period when government computers could have been stolen during the burning of the South Bronx.
Conspiracy theorists note…the Bin Laden family was one of the contractors who rebuilt the South Bronx and the Projects in the 1980’s in New York City.
Later the construction team was linked to the 9/11 Terrorists attacks at the old World Trade Center.
All signs that both events are part of the data breach South Bronx and 9/11, when scams penetrated government computers from all over the world during the outages.
SAP R/3 launched in 1992 and I began University in 2001, my first week of University was the 9/11 Terrorist attacks in New York City and is the Class Of 2005 grad year.
In University I did all my work on SAP and Project Management and began doing my certifications in 2005 after graduation, by the time I finished my certifications in 2008 I was assaulted for my projects on a Toronto Stock Market Company and had to quit and turn them into the SEC.
Now I think the scam I was assaulted by was also part of the data breaches I mentioned above.
After this I was illegally evicted from my house with fake court papers which were thrown out and wrongfully arrested, during my arrest my house was robbed and I had to move.
I won in court and now they all owe me a settlement for home invasion on the stock market to steal my SAP Server work and wrongful arrest.
Now apparently they are saying that SAP is still not finished and projects like mine which were ahead of them have left the industry.
It looks like today after the events of the burning of the South Bronx and the 9/11 terrorist attacks that the government and business computers were breached and filled full of scams.
Then they put the work order out to the Universities like Harvard and St. Francis Xavier saying $150,000 salaries to build a $150,000,000 computer system and they didn’t have the money to pay the grads.
Now it all just looks like a scam and the main software is Remmington-Rand anyway from the old Univac System which also ran on Battleships in World War Two.
Leading to more example that the attacks on the South Bronx and World Trade Center could have been targeting Remmington-Rand Univac Systems and used that and the development of SAP after the Data Breaches.
Right now the Data Breach is so bad in Halifax that they are making you get lawyers to file free forms for file corrections and refuse to take them in front of lawyers.
Now I have taken this issue as a complaint and information to my local Halifax Senator and Speaker of the Floor in Ottawa and copied the news about the issue so they can know what is happening.
Hopefully the Senators and the News here in Canada will help to speed some of this up and clear up some of these issues.
At Legal Aid in Halifax they told me they couldn’t help me with these issues and advised me to contact the local government because it was beyond their scope, which I decided not to because that is who I am suing and instead I took it too the local Halifax Senator and Speaker Of The Floor in Ottawa with the News so hopefully they can resolve it.
So to me this story seems to look like it’s starting to wrap up now with the impact of how the attacks on the South Bronx and 9/11 are affecting us today during those potential data breaches.
RELATED: LA WEEKLY – Did Grindcore Legends Terrorizer Rip Off an Unknown Canadian Band?
Grindcore band Terrorizer formed here, and their 1989 debut World Downfall was extremely influential. After 2006’s reunion album Darker Days Ahead guitarist Jesse Pintado passed away, but the rest of Terrorizer has a new album, Hordes Of Zombies, out February 28th.
Now weirdly, and out of nowhere, an unknown Canadian grindcore group called Collapse has filed is threatening to file a plagiarism lawsuit against them and their label, Season of Mist, claiming a passage in Terrorizer’s song “Subterfuge” is lifted from a Collapse song titled “Mechanisms Of Oppression.” We call bullshit.
First off, Collapse’s guitarist/vocalist Jason McKenzie has been sending around press releases, claiming that if the release of Terrorizer’s new album isn’t canceled, they’ll sue. It reeks of a publicity stunt; still, that in itself doesn’t mean there isn’t validity to their claims.
Exploring The Grand Canyon From Home
With the Grand Canyon National Park testing the first phases of reopening, access to the vast network of canyon trails and park amenities remain mostly off-limits. But behind the scenes, the folks at the Grand Canyon Conservancy (the official nonprofit partner of the Grand Canyon National Park) have been hard at work thinking up ways to keep the public connected to our state’s most prized natural treasure.
“We were looking for things to do during the shutdown—how could we bring the park to them? There were videos and there was web content that we wanted to do, but being a nonprofit it’s hard because those things take time and money,” Mindy Riesenberg, director of marketing and communications for the Grand Canyon Conservancy, said.
Enter the Arizona Lottery. Originally committed to sponsoring scholarships for the Canyon Field School before it was canceled due to the pandemic, the state lottery stepped up and donated $50,000 to the conservancy to help make its virtual dreams a reality.
As a result of the donation, GCC has been able to launch a 20-episode web series, Grand Canyon Moments, which explores the geology and history of the park, inviting astronomers, tribal elders and other experts to share their expertise in the two- to three-minute vignettes.
“This generous gift from the Arizona Lottery will allow Grand Canyon Conservancy to bring Grand Canyon National Park to those who have been to the park before and are longing for another trip and those who have always wanted to visit,” Theresa McMullan, GCC’s chief executive officer, said in a press release. “Grand Canyon Moments is a way for us to provide education about the canyon’s rich natural and cultural history while the park is closed and will continue to be an educational resource after it reopens .”
Over the past 40 years, the Arizona Lottery has donated more than 4.2 billion dollars toward education, environmental conservation and other public service organizations within the state.
“The Arizona Lottery has been funding efforts to preserve Arizona’s unique wildlife and landscapes, through the Heritage Fund, for over a quarter century. There is no landscape more iconic to Arizona than the Grand Canyon,” Arizona Lottery Executive Director Gregg Edgar said. “By sponsoring this video series, Arizonans of all ages will learn more about the Grand Canyon, developing within them a deeper appreciation for this natural wonder of the world and a desire to protect it for generations to come.”
Grand Canyon Moments features an original score by musicians Alexis Marsh and Samuel Jones. The web series is being produced by Bristlecone Media’s Ryan Christensen in collaboration with the conservancy’s own Riesenberg.
“I knew Ryan and I knew I could trust him. Since I have a background in documentary film, I’d worked with him on the Grand Canyon In Depth nine-part series and a video about the Desert View Watchtower and the preservation of the murals there,” Riesenberg said.
The first three episodes of Grand Canyon Moments have already aired, featuring dark skies with astronomer Tyler Nordgren; Ribbon Falls with Octavius Seowtewa, head medicine man for the Zuni tribe; and an episode on the canyon’s many springs with Museum of Northern Arizona curator Dr. Larry Stevens.
“This has been a blessing in disguise for our marketing team,” Riesenberg said. “It has really allowed us to show what we can bring to the table. It gave us a chance to do the things we had always wanted to do yet had kept on the back burner.”

President Trump Delays State Of The Union Address, Reschedules
President Trump has given into pressure and rescheduled the State of the Union Address until today, also caving on border wall funding talks to temporarily reopen United States Government.
Source: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-46983349
US President Donald Trump says he will not deliver his annual State of the Union speech until after the government shutdown is over.
On Wednesday House Speaker Nancy Pelosi withdrew an invitation for him to address Congress, saying government services should fully reopen first.
The shutdown has left 800,000 federal staff without pay since 22 December.
Mr Trump wants $5.7bn (£4.4bn) to build a wall on the US-Mexico border, but newly empowered Democrats have refused.
The row over border security has led to the longest government shutdown in US history.
What did Mr Trump say?
Having initially said the speech should be “on time, on schedule, and very importantly, on location”, he conceded overnight that he could not deliver on his pledge.
He acknowledged on Twitter Mrs Pelosi’s refusal to allow Congress to host the State of the Union address until the shutdown – now in its 34th day – had been resolved.
“This is her prerogative,” he said, adding that he was no longer looking for an alternative venue but looked forward to making the speech in the near future.
Mrs Pelosi responded with her own tweet saying she hoped Mr Trump would back a bill passed by the House of Representatives to fund the agencies affected by the shutdown.

China and Russia could disrupt critical national infrastructure in the US, says intelligence report
Both China and Russia are capable of launching cyberattacks that could bring down electricity networks or hospitals, according to the latest annual US Worldwide Threat Assessment.
The threats: The 42-page report, compiled by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, cites cyberattacks, online misinformation, and election interference as the top security concerns facing the US today. It identifies China and Russia as the biggest sources of potential attacks on US infrastructure (it provides the example of natural-gas pipelines), with the ability to cause disruption for days or even weeks. The review said Russia could carry out cyber-espionage and launch influence campaigns similar to those conducted during the 2016 US presidential election, and that is “becoming more adept at using social media to alter how we think, behave, and decide.”
