![]() The high-stakes drama has not only sparked threats to remove GOP colleagues from the conference but also put key bipartisan working relationships in jeopardy ahead of another looming government funding deadline and prompted serious internal conversations about overhauling the House rules, further complicating any candidates’ bid to win the gavel. “And I think too many people are treating it like one.” “This isn’t a normal election,” he said of the speaker’s race. “The next speaker better figure out how to negotiate with the exotics before you become speaker because you’re sure as hell gonna have to do it after you’re speaker,” Armstrong said. Kelly Armstrong, a North Dakota Republican and a close McCarthy ally, said there are a “lot of raw nerves” and that the next speaker candidates must make clear that they will “never” allow a single GOP member to oust a sitting speaker again. But Republicans are also turning their fire on their Democratic colleagues as well, furious that they sided with Gaetz to throw the House into chaos and let McCarthy be punished for funding the government with their votes.Īnd it all comes as a GOP leadership scramble to succeed McCarthy has begun to take shape, even as rank-and-file Republicans warn the speaker candidates that there is ample work that must be done to repair the frayed relations within their badly divided conference. Matt Gaetz, the ringleader of the McCarthy rebellion. Much of the furor is directed at Florida Rep. It’s just one of many examples of the fallout from Tuesday’s stunning vote to remove the sitting speaker, which has reverberated through both sides of the Capitol and left a bitterly divided GOP scrambling to pick up the pieces. And it’s not the only repercussion she could now be facing for her career-defining moment of defiance: Sources told CNN that there’s discussion among members on the Republican Governance Group about voting to kick her out of the moderate-leaning group. Yet Mace, a Republican who could face a competitive race and will need a well-funded campaign war chest to win reelection, ultimately joined seven other GOP lawmakers and all Democrats to sink McCarthy. ![]() The warning to Mace, which was described by a source familiar with the conversation, is a sign of just how seriously the speaker drama has rankled the Republican party, with money often used as a powerful carrot – or stick – in Washington. Nancy Mace of South Carolina: If you vote to oust McCarthy, the party might not be willing to help raise money for your race. As Kevin McCarthy was on the brink of losing his speakership, some of his allies delivered a not-so-veiled threat to GOP Rep.

Teams of searchers fanned out in waves across several square miles. Fires, gas fumes and unstable buildings posed constant threats. Rescue crews had to move gingerly around downed power lines and jagged chunks of debris as they hunted for victims and hoped for survivors. “By the time we tried to get under the house, it already went over us.”Īs rescuers toiled in the debris, a strong thunderstorm lashed the crippled city. “Five minutes later, the second warning went off,” he said. Larry Bruffy said he heard the first warning but looked out from his garage and saw nothing. While many residents had 10 to 17 minutes of warning, rain and hail may have drowned out the sirens.

(AP) – Rescue crews dug through piles of splintered houses and crushed cars Monday in a search for victims of a half-mile-wide tornado that killed at least 116 people when it blasted much of this Missouri town off the map and slammed straight into its hospital. The tornado tore a path a mile wide and four miles long destroying homes and businesses.

She said ran toward the sound and witnessed the building’s underground garage collapse. Resident Sara Nir, who was in her ground floor condo at Champlain Towers South with her two children the night of the collapse, said she heard loud knocking sounds followed by a boom. Several engineers have told CNN that video of the collapse suggests the failure began near the structure’s foundation, and a 2018 survey prepared ahead of the building’s mandated 40-year certification cited problems in the pool area and the garage beneath it. Search and rescue teams had worked feverishly to locate missing residents until efforts were temporarily halted Thursday amid structural concerns about parts of the building that remain standing. In Florida, at least 24 people are dead and dozens are unaccounted for after the residential building partially collapsed last Thursday. Surfside collapse may have begun in building’s lower reaches “The building remains safe and is in no danger of collapse.” “The structural upgrade currently underway at the tower is intended to prevent further settlement, and recover some of the building’s tilt, rather than to repair damage or provide strengthening,” Hamburger said in the statement. The original foundation was built into deep sand and experts determined that nearby projects and a process known as dewatering had weakened the soil under the sinking tower. The retrofit, announced in October following years of lawsuits, hearings and accusations, will finally anchor the building to the bedrock. The piles will then be tied to the existing foundation, he said. “I can state with confidence that settlements experienced by Millennium Tower have not compromised its stability and safety.”Ī $100 million fix, set to be completed next year, involves the installation of piles into the bedrock of downtown San Francisco beneath the building, according to Millennium spokesman Doug Elmets.

![]() He’s a capable receiver who will more than likely run a 4.4 40-yard dash. I love the running backs that go in this round, especially Isreal Abanikanda who should be rising in rookie drafts. This is the round where it starts getting questionable with picks and feels like once you’re halfway through, it’s time to throw darts. Getting Mims in the second is as comfortable as I’m getting. I have them in a similar category, but Smith is a hell of a lot better. His frame is a little small (5’11, 182lbs) but I felt the same way about DeVonta Smith, and look what he’s doing in Philadelphia. Well, it didn’t carry over at Ole Miss as he split time with rising star Quinshon Judkins.įinally, one of my favorite players in this round to keep an eye on is Marvin Mims. The one I fear the most is Zach Evansbecause he left TCU because he wasn’t the lead running back. The running backs here are great pieces that we all want a piece of. Kayshon Boutte had a down season at LSU, but at this time of year to get him this low just seems like a steal of the draft who could return high-end WR2 value depending on the landing spot. What he was able to do at North Carolina with Drake Mayewas crazy for his size. Seeing Josh Downshere at the top of the second round just seems like highway robbery off the bat. I know we don’t know the landing spots yet, but here with the talent available I like the overall layout. Here, the depth currently at wide receiver and running back is great. In most seasons, going into the second round of rookie drafts is usually when dart throws start. We all chase that first-round tight end that’s drafted in the first round as tight ends are the headache of all fantasy football positions. Michael Mayer is the top prospect at the tight end position in the 2023 draft class and to see him here at the back end of the first round should come as no surprise. Both have been rumored to be not only first-round picks but Levis has been projected many times in the top-10, while Richardson has been top-20. Whereas Smith-Njigba produced in his sophomore season with Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave, it can be justified.Īlbeit, the two surprises you may see here are quarterbacks Anthony Richardson and Will Levis. Personally, I have Jordan Addison as my WR1, but to each their own, I won’t knock it. While to no surprise is Jaxon Smith-Njigbathe WR1 in this class. Of course, Stroud and Young are highly valued based on the NFL mock drafts that our own Cannon Brisco has been producing. Robinson is labeled as a “generational talent” and if you get someone like him, the immediate return on value is so much higher than C.J. Bijan Robinson has been the first pick in the Majority of drafts I have been running. Round 1Ībove all, the top-3 in a Superflex draft are interchangeable. Interested in joining a mock draft?

Monster Hunter Tris online mode takes place in the bustling Loc Lac City. I am new to Dolphin and I tried to play Monster Hunter Tri with my Xbox 360 controller. Fans don’t pour hundreds of hours into this game gawping at ecosystem AI – motivation stems entirely from the lure of bigger, pointier sticks, and bigger, nastier monsters to be poked. Give us a sword twice our height and of course we’ll smack the nearest living thing. Monster Hunter Tri trades entirely on your desire to hit big ’orrible creatures with big ’orrible weapons. Only in our version, Neill then pulls out a rocket launcher and nails the nearest brontosaurus. Stepping out onto the mountain plateau and seeing the island stretch out takes the breath away – think Sam Neill eyeing Jurassic Park for the first time.

Whatever I need to maintain forward movement in every work-stream of a project. They can be abstract or they can be an atomic task. Many of them are proxies for actual project deliverables and goals. These aren’t tasks, they are mile markers on a long journey. I review this each day and update as milestones are achieved or changed.įrom this map I drill down into the milestone goals I set for myself each week and see how I’m doing. Each category needs to make some amount of progress from week to week. I capture every major work-stream of a project. 4 I’ve been using iThoughts as my 50,000 foot navigational chart. Sometimes a task manager is the wrong thing for managing tasks. By necessity their systems narrow my vision to “next actions.” The only alternative is to see a huge list of all possible actions over a project or group of projects. I find the extremely narrow focus of every task manager to be stifling. But after two years of managing a sprawling project, it’s clear there is never enough time for these deep-cleaning reviews. With enough time for in depth reviews, this could be fine. I constantly have next actions but large categories of work are still not progressing. But, when projects are very big it creates a blind spot for me. How do we know when projects are stalled? With systems like Getting Things Done I look at my next action list. Without the right level of focus I end up just staring at my feet, hoping that I’m headed toward my destination. To my dismay, most productivity systems keep me focused on the granular day to day work. As a project grows it naturally develops sub-projects, short term milestones, teams, and intertwined dependencies. I manage big, long-running projects professionally.

Pistola remained on Instinct for the final MLG Reach event - the MLG Winter Championship 2012, where they would place 2nd, losing to Status Quo in the finals. Things began to look worse for Instinct when they finished only 6th at MLG Orlando 2011, but they came roaring back at the 2011 MLG Providence National Championships, defeating Warriors in the finals to win the biggest prize of the year. At MLG Raleigh 2011, Instinct was defeated in a very close finals matchup by Infamous. They lived up to their name, winning MLG Columbus 2011 dropping only a single game, and winning MLG Anaheim 2011 without dropping any games at all. Following this, Pistola and OGRE2 left Final Boss to join forces with Roy and Lunchbox on Instinct, a roster which would be referred to by fans and commentators as "the God Squad".

Pistola remained on Triggers Down with Neighbor having replaced Heinz to start the 2010 season. ![]() A huge source of controversy during the event was a malfunction with Hysteria's Xbox 360 during the WB Semifinals against Classic when Hysteria was about to seal the game in TD's favor. Triggers Down went into the 2009 MLG Orlando National Championships with all the momentum in the world, but placed only 5th at the event.

MudVayne was then replaced by Cloud to form the Ambush roster which would stick together for the next three events, placing 5th at MLG Toronto 2008, 4th at MLG Dallas 2008 and 7th at the 2008 MLG Las Vegas National Championships. After replacing Eli and Gun_Shot with Heinz and NeXuS, Pistola and Ambush improved on their placing, finishing 4th at MLG Orlando 2008. With the initial roster of Pistola, Eli, Gun Shot and MudVayne, Ambush placed 10th at MLG San Diego 2008, Pistola's highest placing to that point. Following Meadowlands, Pistola left Are You Ready to join Ambush, the team with which he would begin to build his 4v4 name. It looked to be more of the same for Pistola, with a 29th placing at MLG Meadowlands 2008. Pistola started off the 2008 Halo season as a member of Are You Ready with BLUEFIR3, DrumMeR and MioFF. ViciouS failed to make any significant impact in the 4v4 scene, with their highest confirmed placing being 19th at MLG Chicago 2007.
