DTOP approves proposed 35% discount on traffic fines

By THE STAR STAFF

The Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTOP by its acronym in Spanish) supported a measure Thursday, during a public hearing in the House of Representatives, proposing a 35% discount on traffic fines. The initiative aims to encourage the expedited payment of penalties related to AutoExpreso tolls, expired placards and administrative infractions.

Rep. José “Cheito” Hernández Concepción, who chairs the House Transportation Committee, initiated the evaluation process for House Bill 602. The bill also proposes a 100% discount on accrued interest and surcharges on fines. Additionally, drivers who enter into a payment plan will receive a 50% discount on those interest payments and surcharges.

Hernández Concepción emphasized the importance of approaching the amnesty initiatives thoughtfully to ensure

their completion. He announced that further public hearings will be held once the report from the Legislative Assembly Budget Office is received, but said he wanted to kick off the process now with the goal of approving it this year.

DTOP Associate Secretary Marcos García noted that no new fines related to the AutoExpreso system have been issued since April 2022, meaning only fines issued before that date will qualify for the proposed discounts. He recommended that the legislation clearly state that any AutoExpreso-related discounts apply to tickets and that the toll charges owed must be paid in full.

“Any citizen who opts for a payment plan for AutoExpreso fines must pay the total amount of tolls owed at the time of requesting the payment plan, while the fines can be paid according to the existing provisions,” García said. “This is crucial, as the Highway and Transportation Authority has obligations to the various concessionaires managing the toll roads.”

Hernández Concepción noted that the last similar incentive approved by the Legislative Assembly was in 2016. That amnesty lasted 180 days, benefiting 152,000 individuals and generating $44.5 million in revenue for the island treasury.

Data presented by the DTOP during the hearing indicated that, as of February 2022, there were some 129,000 unpaid fines, predominantly related to expired stickers. Those violations currently amount to $53 million and are included in the agency’s budget for the upcoming fiscal year as accounts receivable.

Typically, the agency generates between $80 and $90 million in annual revenue from electronic ticket payments. García also clarified that traffic fines issued by municipalities and the revenue from those tickets do not belong to the DTOP, and therefore the bill should include such a clarification in its language.

DNER secretary witnesses fatal attack on caiman in Manatí

atural and Environmental Resources (DNER)

Secretary Waldemar Quiles Pérez reported on Thursday an incident that occurred last Sunday in which a citizen fatally attacked a caiman on Highway PR-686, kilometer 4.1, in the Laguna neighborhood of Manatí.

“While I was driving to a family activity, I observed a citizen brutally attacking a caiman in front of a woman and a child,” Quiles said in a written statement. “I stopped immediately and reported the situation to the Commissioner of the [DNER] Ranger Corps.”

The citizen, accompanied by the woman and the child, fled the scene in a minivan after the DNER chief witnessed the incident. Quiles said he provided the vehicle information, including the license plate number, to initiate the corresponding investigation.

The caiman, some three and a half feet long, died the same day as a result of the attack, a veterinarian confirmed. Quiles thanked the Ranger Corps and the Manatí Municipal Police for their work, reiterating his commitment to appear as a witness in court proceedings.

The investigation is being led by Officer Héctor Maisonet of the Manatí Municipal Police. The case was filed under complaint number 2025-2-047-002871.

Alarm raised over arrears owed by Family Dept. to centers for elderly

By THE STAR STAFF

The Federation of Long-Term Care Institutions (FICPRO by its acronym in Spanish) is deeply alarmed by the substantial payment arrears from the island Family Department, which it says are critically undermining the operations of facilities dedicated to the care of older adults.

FICPRO President Jonathan Morales Adorno has revealed that many centers are burdened with debts of up to two years, exceeding $2 million. Some facilities are claiming debts of $40,000, $70,000, and even $90,000. Others have contended with late payments since 2020, illustrating a severe and ongoing crisis.

“The cycle repeats itself,” Adorno said in a statement issued Thursday. “In 2023 alone, the Department of Family Affairs owed approximately $4 million to long-term care facilities housing seniors.”

Adorno stressed that the delay has led to serious financial instability for many of the 587 FICPRO-affiliated institutions, which are struggling to meet their obligations and ensure the high-quality, continuous care that island seniors deserve.

The amounts owed are indispensable, he said, for sustaining operations and fulfilling contractual commitments related to food services, 24-hour care, professional staff payroll, and essential utilities, including water, electricity, telephone and gas.

Adorno demanded that the government fulfill its financial duties. “Given the urgent crisis affecting abandoned seniors, it is only fair that providers receive prompt payment for the essential services rendered,” he said. “Children who abandon their parents are just as irresponsible as the government when it delays payments for our essential care, love, food, protection, and safe housing for thousands of seniors.”

Before the hurricane season, long-term care facilities must strictly comply with Law 88 of April 14, 2018 (Service Provision Guarantee Law), which mandates that facilities have a reliable power source capable of continuous operation during power outages and maintain sufficient fuel supplies for at least

Federation of Long-Term Care Institutions President Jonathan Morales Adorno

20 days post-disaster. Additionally, they must stock essential medications and basic necessities for this duration, and have a water cistern with adequate capacity for at least five days.

Adorno emphasized that institutions do not receive assured monthly payment dates from the Family Department, severely impeding their ability to manage finances effectively based on their budget and projected income.

“The inefficiency of this payment process by the Department of Family Affairs jeopardizes the functioning of our institutions and, even more critically, the quality of life of our seniors,” he said.

Adorno, on behalf of the organization he leads, called

for the immediate settlement of outstanding debts and the establishment of clear protocols to ensure effective monthly payments within the first five days of the succeeding month. FICPRO also called on all stakeholders to take decisive action to resolve this critical situation.

According to Family Department data, the agency subsidizes the care of more than 5,807 seniors placed in various centers across the island, all of whom risk losing essential assisted care services if the issue remains unaddressed, Adorno said.

Separately, in response to growing concerns about the safety and well-being of seniors housed in senior living facilities in San Juan’s House District 2, Rep. Ricardo “Chino” Rey Ocasio Ramos announced Thursday the introduction of a resolution ordering a thorough investigation into the conditions at the residential centers in question.

The initiative, filed by Representative Ocasio Ramos, seeks to ensure that the facilities have adequate emergency plans, sufficient resources, and the necessary infrastructure to respond effectively to natural disasters, especially during hurricane season.

“The well-being and safety of our seniors must be a top priority,,” the lawmaker said. “Recent experience during weather events has shown us that there is still much room for improvement in the nursing homes of District 2, where more than 1,000 people reside who deserve protection and dignified care.”

“We must act responsibly and urgently to ensure these centers are better prepared for any emergency,” he added. “We cannot allow a lack of resources or planning to put the lives of vulnerable people at risk.

The resolution directs the House Committee on Senior Citizens and Social Welfare to carry out a series of actions, including visits, interviews and requests for information from the nursing home administrations. The main objective is to evaluate their emergency plans, the operation of their facilities, the availability of backup equipment such as power plants and cisterns, and their response capacity in a crisis situation.

With DNA lab automation, ICF to triple sample processing capacity

By THE STAR STAFF

The Institute of Forensic Sciences (ICF) will begin the implementation phase of its DNA laboratory automation project in June, which will triple its evidence sample processing capacity, ICF Executive Director María Conte Miller announced Thursday.

“Automating laboratory work allows DNA analysts to triple the number of samples processed compared to conventional manual methods,” Conte Miller said in a written statement.

The QIAcube Connect device will reduce sample processing time from 18-24 hours to 2.5 hours. Additionally, the QIAgil-

ity device can process up to 96 samples in a single cycle, shortening preparation time from 3 hours to just 45 minutes.

The new tools will be used in cases of sexual assault, homicide, robbery, and for DNA database samples (CODIS), according to Mireya Hernández Arroyo, the ICF’s forensic DNA supervisor.

Conte Miller said the project will standardize processes, reduce reagent usage, and ensure service continuity, resulting in a more agile and efficient operation.

Currently, the laboratory has 14 DNA analysts, six technicians, and three managers in charge of sample management. Equipment validation and staff training are already underway as part of the implementation.

Chamber of Commerce backs bill to promote return of manufacturing firms

By THE STAR STAFF

The Puerto Rico Chamber of Commerce (CCPR by its initials in Spanish) has announced its support for the federal Medical Manufacturing Economic Development and Sustainability Act (MMEDS Act), a bipartisan measure introduced in the U.S. Congress by Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) along with Reps. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.), Jeff Hurd (R-Colo.), and Darren Soto (D-Fla.).

The legislation, originally co-authored by Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.), seeks to incentivize the return of pharmaceutical manufacturing to the United States, focusing on economically distressed areas such as Puerto Rico. Through dollar-for-dollar tax credits and other federal incentives, the measure promotes investment in infrastructure, human capital and local procurement by manufacturers of essential medical products.

“The MMEDS Act represents a historic opportunity to revitalize Puerto Rico’s manufacturing base and position the island as a leader in global pharmaceutical production,” CCPR President Luis E. Pizarro Otero said. “We join industry and allies in Congress in supporting this key initiative for our economy and national security.”

Puerto Rico, with its proven capacity in medical manufacturing operations, is emerging as an ideal jurisdiction for the benefits envisioned in the MMEDS Act. The proposed legislation would provide significant incentives to U.S. companies that operate or relocate their operations to areas with high levels of poverty, unemployment, and low labor force participation. The CCPR reaffirmed its commitment to collaborating with the private sector and legislative leaders in Washington to advance policies that enhance Puerto Rico’s competitiveness and promote sustainable economic development.

“The COVID-19 pandemic made it clear that we cannot rely on foreign suppliers for essential pharmaceutical and medical products,” said CCPR First Vice President José Julio Aparicio, who leads the chamber’s Federal Affairs Committee. “The MMEDS Act demonstrates that the federal Congress is taking proactive steps to protect the health of our citizens, strengthen the national supply chain, and encourage investment and economic development nationwide.”

Gov. Jenniffer González Colón emphasized the MMEDS Act “is an essential tool for consolidating Puerto Rico as a strategic manufacturing hub for the United States.”

“This legislation aligns perfectly with our efforts to attract investment, create jobs, and ensure that our island plays a key role in national supply chain security,” she said. “As the nation seeks to strengthen and repatriate its manufacturing capacity, Puerto Rico emerges as an ideal solution, thanks to its advanced infrastructure, technical capacity, and highly skilled workforce.”

“I deeply thank Congress members Malliotakis, Torres, Hurd, and Soto for leading this bipartisan initiative, which not only advances Puerto Rico but also guides the nation toward a more secure and competitive future,” the governor added. “I also recognize and value the support of the Puerto Rico Chamber of Commerce, whose collaboration is essential to aligning the private sector with the economic development goals promoted by this measure.”

In a recent meeting with the Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration (PRFAA) team in Mexico City, the CCPR president signed a letter endorsing the congressional bill to send to Malliotakis, expressing support for the measure. PRFAA Executive Director Gabriella Boffelli stated that “we have worked closely with allies in Congress to promote

legislation that recognizes Puerto Rico’s true potential as a center of excellence in advanced manufacturing.”

“The MMEDS Act, initially filed by the governor during her term in Congress and now led by Representative Malliotakis, represents a firm and decisive step toward that shared vision,” Boffelli said. “This proposal not only fosters sustainable economic development but also validates the talent and training of our workforce. I thank the Puerto Rico Chamber of Commerce for its institutional support and for reaffirming the business sector’s commitment to this common mission. Puerto Rico has the capacity and the will to respond to the nation’s needs. With initiatives like this, we open new opportunities for our island to play a leading role in the economic and industrial future of the United States.”

Senator proposes denying sex offenders access to diversion programs

By THE STAR STAFF

Sen. Gabriel “Gaby” González López announced on Thursday a proposal to amend Act No. 54 of 1989, with the goal of strengthening the island government’s commitment to justice and the protection of victims of sexual crimes. The initiative seeks to eliminate the possibility of individuals convicted of sexual assault from benefiting from judicial diversion programs, a measure the legislator considers essential to guarantee the safety and dignity of victims.

“Every victim of sexual assault deserves justice, not re-victimization,” González said. “Allowing those who commit these crimes to evade a rigorous judicial process and access diversion programs is an affront to victims’ rights and sends the wrong signal to those who would commit these heinous acts. Our legislation must be clear and firm in protecting those who have suffered so much.”

“Sexual violence leaves deep and permanent scars on

the lives of its victims,” the senator added. “My commitment is to those who have been violated and to the responsibility of our justice system to be unforgiving toward those who violate their integrity. This change in the law sends a strong message: in Puerto Rico, justice and the protection of human rights are priorities.”

The reality of sexual violence in Puerto Rico represents a persistent and alarming problem, González noted. Between January 2021 and December 2023, more than 2,300 cases were documented, mostly involving women and young people, many of whom are in vulnerable situations.

“The seriousness of the crimes requires that our legislation be clear and strict in its response, excluding any possibility of diverting benefits that could put the community at risk,” the Arecibo District senator said. “Our commitment is to the victims, their families, and the integrity of our justice system.

“This amendment represents a courageous and necessary step for Puerto Rico to send a strong signal against impunity for sexual crimes and ensure uncompromising justice.”

Conservative Republicans revolt over domestic policy bill, threatening its path

By CATIE EDMONDSON

Conservative Republicans in the House were in open revolt Thursday over their party’s major legislation to deliver President Donald Trump’s domestic agenda, threatening to derail the tax and budget measure over concerns that it would add too much to the deficit.

In a sign of the dissent in the party’s ranks, Rep. Chip Roy of Texas, an influential anti-spending conservative, left a meeting in Speaker Mike Johnson’s office in the Capitol meant to assuage holdout lawmakers and declared that he planned to vote against approving the legislation in the Budget Committee in a session planned for Friday.

If another Republican on the panel were to join Roy, they could block the measure from reaching the floor, upending the party’s drive to push the legislation through the House before a Memorial Day recess. A number of other conservative, anti-spending Republicans sit on the panel.

“Right now, the House proposal fails to meet the moment,” Roy said. “It does not meaningfully change spending. Plus, many of the decent provisions and cuts don’t begin until 2029 and beyond. That is swamp accounting to dodge real savings.”

The legislation would extend Trump’s 2017 tax cut and temporarily enact his campaign pledges not to tax tips or overtime pay. Cuts to Medicaid, food stamps and subsidies for clean energy would partly offset the roughly $3.8 trillion cost of those tax measures, as well as increased spending on the military and immigration enforcement.

Republicans like Roy are demanding changes to the bill, arguing that their leaders did not go far enough to cut federal spending. Some had earlier insisted that the final product add nothing to the deficit. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan group that calls for lower deficits, estimated that the bill would add roughly $3.3 trillion to the deficit over the next decade.

They are also unhappy that a number of the provisions in the legislation to cut spending — chief among them a measure imposing work requirements on childless Medicaid recipients without disabilities — would not kick in until 2029.

“On Medicaid work requirements: Start ‘em now,” Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania wrote on social media. “The American People are sick of half measures. Some of my congressional col-

reconciliation rules that protect the legislation from a filibuster in the Senate. The committee is responsible for merging the legislative proposals produced by 11 committees who have written various pieces of the reconciliation package into a single bill and sending it to the House floor through the Rules Committee.

Members of the Budget Committee don’t have the power to make any changes to the legislation at this point, but they must approve it to allow the bill to move forward.

With Democrats unanimously opposed, Republicans on the panel need almost unanimity to make that happen.

leagues want to do anything but LEGISLATE...”

Republican leaders had toiled to structure the legislation to protect their most politically vulnerable members from accusations that the party was moving to gut popular health care programs like Medicaid. They stopped short of a structural overhaul that would have made deep cuts to the program.

It is a treacherous balancing act for Johnson, who must try to appease his most conservative members agitating for deep spending cuts, and his swing-seat members who say voting for legislation taking an ax to popular federal programs would send them to an early political retirement.

He was sanguine emerging from the meeting in his office Thursday.

“Not everybody’s going to be delighted with every provision in a bill this large, but everyone can be satisfied, and we’re very, very close to that,” Johnson told reporters.

But conservatives such as Roy are not the only Republicans who have concerns about the legislation.

A small group of Republicans from New York and California are threatening to torpedo the bill over the state and local tax deduction. Others have called on Republican leaders to kill some of the most aggressive provisions in the legislation roll eliminating clean energy tax credits.

And even if the House can clear the legislation, a number of Republican senators have been unsparing in their criticism of the bill and suggested they would want to impose significant changes.

But first, the legislation must clear the

Budget Committee.

The panel’s role is mainly procedural but very significant for complying with the special

Any attempt to skirt the committee could lead to trouble in the Senate even if the House were to approve the bill. The reconciliation rules require that the measure be a product of the Budget Committee for it to qualify for a majority-only vote. Working around the Budget Committee could violate that rule and allow Democrats to filibuster the legislation, effectively killing it.

Kennedy, defending downsizing, clashes with Democrats in tense hearings

By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. delivered a defiant defense this week of his drastic overhaul of federal health agencies, insisting to members of Congress that he had “not fired any working scientists” and was “not withholding money for lifesaving research” despite evidence to the contrary.

In back-to-back appearances before House and Senate committees, Kennedy, a longtime critic of vaccination, also made clear that he did not think the health secretary should be in the business of making vaccine recommendations. He ducked questions about whether, if he had young children today, they would be inoculated against measles, chickenpox or polio.

“I don’t think people should be taking advice, medical advice from me,” the health secretary said.

After weeks of controversy about his plans for autism research, Kennedy also testified Wednesday that federally funded studies should focus solely on identifying “environmental toxins” — a term that Kennedy’s critics say is code for vaccines.

“I’m told that there was a 20-to-1 research ratio for genetic causes over the past 20 years,” he said, adding: “I believe that was because they did not want to look at the environmental exposure because they were scared. So I don’t think we should be funding that genetic work anymore.”

Kennedy had come to Capitol Hill, his first appearance there since becoming health secretary, to promote President Donald Trump’s budget for the next fiscal year. But his testimony devolved into a series of fiery exchanges with Democrats, who wanted to talk about the mass layoffs and cuts to research funding he has already imposed.

Engineered in part by Elon Musk and his team at the Department of Government Efficiency, the remake of the health department includes cutting 20,000 jobs — one-fourth of the health workforce. It also collapses entire agencies, including those devoted to mental health and addiction treatment, and emergency preparedness, into a new, ill-defined “Administration for a Healthy America.”

Democrats charged that in making the cuts, Kennedy had usurped the power of Congress. Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, the top Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee,

pointedly directed him to language in the Constitution that gives Congress the power of the purse.

“You have an obligation to carry out the law and to implement what the Congress has done,” she said sharply. Kennedy insisted that if Congress gave his agency money, he would spend it. DeLauro shook her head, looking disgusted.

“Unbelievable,” she said. “Unbelievable.”

Kennedy clashed openly and angrily with Democratic lawmakers on both sides of the Capitol. He showed little hesitation in telling them they were wrong, and engaged in a heated back-and-forth that is unusual for any witness, much less a Cabinet secretary coming to Congress to ask for money to run his agency.

“I don’t know if you understand this or whether you are just mouthing the Democratic talking points,” Kennedy said to Rep. Josh Harder, D-Calif., who asked about cuts to Medicaid.

The health secretary testified that while Trump’s budget cuts would be “painful,” they were necessary to ease the federal government’s $2 trillion deficit.

Some of Kennedy’s statements did not comport with the facts. He told the Senate health committee that no current vaccines except those for COVID-19 had been tested against placebo. That prompted the committee chair, Sen. Bill Cassidy , R-La., who had left the room, to return to correct him.

“The secretary made the statement that no vaccines except COVID have been evaluated against placebo,” Cassidy said. “That’s not true. A rotavirus, measles and HPV vaccines have been.”

Kennedy’s assertion that he has “not fired any working scientists” flies in the face of reality. Hundreds of scientists from the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration have lost their jobs as part of his plan to overhaul the Department of Health and Human Services.

The Trump administration has also frozen or canceled scores of research grants at academic institutions, many of them from

the National Institutes of Health, which falls under Kennedy’s purview. Columbia University alone has experienced significant cuts to more than 300 federal grants, many of them for medical research.

Trump has published only the broad outlines of his budget plan, which calls for deep cuts to the NIH and the CDC. In written testimony submitted to the committee, Kennedy said the cuts would save money “without impacting critical services.”

The budget blueprint, the statement said, “recognizes the fiscal challenges our country faces today, and the need to update and redirect our investments to meet the needs of a rapidly changing world.”

Republicans largely praised Kennedy, but their questions revealed that they, too, were somewhat uncomfortable with his changes. In the House, several asked about projects in their districts. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, R-Tenn., who represents candy manufacturers, worried aloud that Kennedy’s plan to rid the food supply of certain petroleum-based dyes would cost his constituents money.

In the Senate, Cassidy called on Kennedy to articulate “a clearly defined plan or objective.” Cassidy voted to confirm Kennedy despite intense misgivings about his views on vaccines. He had asked Kennedy to testify about the job cuts at the health department last month, but the secretary did not appear.

“Much of the conversation around HHS’s agenda has been set by anonymous sources in the media and individuals with a bias against the president,” Cassidy said. “Americans need direct reassurance from the administration, from you, Mr. Secretary, that its reforms will make their lives easier, not harder.”

That may be a tall order. A recent poll by KFF, a nonpartisan health policy research organization, found that a majority of the public opposed major cuts to staffing and spending at the nation’s health agencies. A majority of Americans said the Trump administration was “recklessly making broad cuts to programs and staff, including some that are necessary for agencies to function.”

What to know about the Newark Airport problems

By NIRAJ CHOKSHI

Newark Liberty International Airport has faced many disruptions in recent weeks. Technology outages, air traffic controller shortages and runway construction at the busy New Jersey hub have led to scores of canceled and delayed flights.

The Federal Aviation Administration says it’s trying to improve the situation, including with software and hardware upgrades. On Wednesday, it met with airline executives to discuss how to run things smoothly by reducing the number of flights at the airport during any given hour.

In a Senate hearing on aviation safety Wednesday, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said the agency had had a “multiyear failure to keep pace with technology and staffing needs.”

What’s going on with staffing?

Air traffic control facilities nationwide have not had enough controllers — the professionals who guide planes into and out of airports — for years, a result of employee turnover, tight budgets, long training times and other factors.

There are only 22 certified controllers employed to serve Newark, which is about a third shy of the staffing target of 38, according to the FAA. The agency also employs five supervisors and nearly two dozen controllers and supervisors in training. Ten trainees can do at least some work without extra supervision, the agency said this week.

Tight staffing has at times disrupted operations at Newark. For several hours Monday, for example, limited staffing forced the FAA to prevent flights bound for Newark from leaving other airports. Those delays averaged an hour and 40 minutes and lasted as long as nearly seven hours. For part of the evening, as few as three air traffic controllers were working when the staffing target was 14.

The air traffic controllers for Newark were moved over the summer to Philadelphia from an office in Long Island, New York, where controllers still guide planes to other New York airports. The hope was that by moving the Newark operations to a more affordable area, the agency might have an easier time recruiting controllers.

But 16 of the controllers working on Newark flights are expected to return to Long Island in July 2026. Replacements are being prepared, and training classes are filled through next summer, the FAA said Tuesday. Because of the complicated nature of the work, it can take a year or more to train controllers at other facilities to handle traffic at Newark, one of the busiest airports in North America.

What’s going on with runway construction?

Since April 15, one of Newark’s three runways has been closed for construction. That has caused one to four flight cancellations per hour, peaking during the busy afternoons and evenings, according to the FAA. Arrival delays have also been common. The construction is expected to continue through June 15 and resume on weekends from September through the end of the year.

At the same time, the Philadelphia air traffic control facility has twice had brief, but concerning radar outages that made it impossible for controllers to locate the planes they were guiding.

The first of those outages left controllers rattled, with some taking leave to recover from that stress. Both outages were caused because a telecommunications line failed. A backup line was in place, but software for that line also failed, overwhelming the backup, officials said this week.

“I don’t believe there was a heightened significant danger to the flying public,” Franklin McIntosh, the FAA’s deputy chief operating officer, told senators Wednesday.

What is the FAA doing?

On Friday, the FAA installed a software upgrade that it said would help prevent outages. The agency is also working to add a third telecommunications line. And, on Wednesday, agency officials and airline officials met in Washington to discuss limiting flights at the airport.

While construction is underway, the agency plans to limit flights to 56 per hour, split evenly between arrivals and departures. That will restrict operations through next month, but not significantly, according to a New York Times analysis of flight schedules from Cirium, an aviation data firm.

The limit would then rise to 68 flights per hour, from midJune through late October. That would be a big decrease on many summer afternoons, when the number of flights currently scheduled can reach the high 70s or low 80s, according to the Cirium data.

United Airlines would be affected the most because it operates about 70% of the flights at Newark, which is one of its eight airport hubs. But if the FAA limits help to stabilize operations at the airport, it will be worth it, Andrew Nocella, United’s chief commercial officer, said at a company event in New York on Tuesday.

Nocella described the cap at 68 flights per hour as “a great outcome.”

“Hopefully, as we get through the summer and into the fall, when staffing with the FAA improves, we can increase the number,” he said. “But the most important thing is to make sure when you head out to Newark that you can get on your aircraft and you know it’s going to go and it’s going to go on time.”

Just months ago, Newark’s operations were not far behind those of other major New York-area airports. Over the 12 months that ended in January, 77% of Newark’s departures were on time, compared with 78% at Kennedy International Airport and 80% at LaGuardia Airport, according to federal data. Over that period, 76% of flights arriving at Newark were on time, compared with 77% at JFK and 79% at LaGuardia.

Wall Street ends mixed; Cisco rallies while UnitedHealth tumbles

Wall Street stocks ended mixed on Thursday, with gains in Cisco Systems following an upbeat forecast, while UnitedHealth tumbled after a report of a criminal investigation into the insurer.

The S&P 500 this week has further recovered from a deep selloff in April triggered by U.S. President Donald Trump’s global trade war, as investors bet Washington will reach deals to roll back steep tariffs that economists worry will drive up consumer prices.

“People think there are going to be deals, so they are just getting ahead of that, and they don’t want to be short stocks. ‘Deal anticipation’ is what I’d call it,” said Dennis Dick, a trader at Triple D Trading.

Cisco Systems jumped after the networking company raised its annual forecast, driven by the artificial intelligence boom.

UnitedHealth Group plunged to a five-year low after the Wall Street Journal reported the U.S. Department of Justice was conducting a criminal investigation into the company for possible Medicare fraud. UnitedHealth said it had not been informed of a criminal probe by federal prosecutors.

Rival health insurers Humana and Molina Healthcare also declined.

Walmart eased after the heavyweight retailer warned it would start raising prices later this month due to tariffs, even after its first-quarter U.S. comparable sales beat expectations.

Rival retailer Amazon dropped and weighed on the Nasdaq.

Walmart declined to provide a second-quarter profit outlook, joining other companies across sectors that have tweaked or pulled their forecasts, signaling that corporate America is hunkering down due to tariff-related uncertainty.

According to preliminary data, the S&P 500 gained 21.89 points, or 0.37%, to end at 5,917.59 points, while the Nasdaq Composite lost 35.47 points, or 0.19%, to 19,111.34. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 277.87 points, or 0.66%, to 42,328.93.

The S&P 500 remains about 4% below its record high

Earlier in the day, data showed U.S. retail sales growth slowed in April, while a separate report showed producer prices unexpectedly fell last month. That followed a relatively tame consumer price reading earlier in the week.

“We’re still waiting for that inflation pop. It’s not here yet, but we’re still waiting,” said John Augustine, chief investment officer of Huntington National Bank.

Private equity firm Thoma Bravo has sold its remaining stake in Nasdaq for approximately $3.4 billion in two separate transactions, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Thursday.

A block of approximately 25.5 million shares was divested on Tuesday, sold to JPMorgan for $80.68 each, according to the source.

Earlier, the PE firm had sold 17.33 million shares at $77.90 each on May 7, 2025, trade, raising $1.35 billion, a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission last week showed.

Nasdaq and Thoma Bravo declined to comment.

In 2023, Nasdaq struck a $10.5 billion cash-and-stock deal to buy fintech firm Adenza from Thoma Bravo, giving the PE firm a sizeable stake in the transatlantic exchange operator.

Trump’s pledge to the Middle East: No more ‘lectures on how to live’

By VIVIAN NEREIM

When President Donald Trump declared from the stage of an opulent ballroom in Saudi Arabia that the United States was done nation-building and intervening, that the world’s superpower would no longer be “giving you lectures on how to live,” his audience erupted in applause.

He was effectively denouncing decades of American policy in the Middle East, playing to grievances long aired in cafes and sitting rooms from Morocco to Oman.

“In the end, the so-called nation builders wrecked far more nations than they built,” Trump said Tuesday, during an address at an investment conference in the Saudi capital of Riyadh. “And the interventionalists were intervening in complex societies that they did not even understand.”

He urged the people of the region to chart “your own destinies in your own way.”

Reactions to his speech spread swiftly on mobile phone screens in a Middle East where the American invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan — and more recently, U.S. support for Israel as it intensifies its war in the Gaza Strip, which is on the brink of starvation — are ingrained in public consciousness and criticized by monarchists and dissidents alike.

Sultan Alamer, a Saudi academic, joked

that Trump’s remarks sounded like they came from Frantz Fanon, a 20th-century Marxist thinker who wrote about the dynamics of colonial oppression. Syrians posted celebratory memes when Trump announced that he would end American sanctions on their war-ravaged country “in order to give them a chance at greatness.”

And in Yemen — another country mired in war and subject to American sanctions — Abdullatif Mohammed implied agreement with Trump’s notion of sovereignty, even as he expressed frustration with U.S. intervention.

“When will countries recognize us and let us live like the rest of the world?” Mohammed, a 31-year-old restaurant manager in the capital, Sanaa, said when asked about the speech. U.S. airstrikes pounded his city under both former President Joe Biden and Trump, targeting the Iran-backed Houthi militia, until Trump abruptly declared a ceasefire this month.

“Who is Trump to grant pardons, lift sanctions on a country, or impose them?” Mohammed said. “But that’s how the world works.”

Trump’s remarks came at the start of a four-day jaunt through three wealthy Gulf Arab states: Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. He was focused in large part on business deals, including more than $1 trillion in investment in the United

States pledged by the three Gulf governments.

But his address in Riyadh made clear that he had broader diplomatic ambitions for his trip. He expressed a “fervent wish” that Saudi Arabia follow two neighbors, the Emirates and Bahrain, to recognize the state of Israel. (Saudi officials have said that will happen only after the establishment of a Palestinian state.) He said he had a keen desire to reach a deal with Iran over its nuclear program, adding that he “never believed in having permanent enemies.”

And on Wednesday, he met the new leader of Syria, Ahmad al-Sharaa — a former jihadi who led a rebel alliance that ousted the brutal strongman Bashar Assad. Trump posed for a photograph with al-Sharaa and the Saudi crown prince in an image that dropped jaws in the region and beyond.

“Dude, what happened is truly unbelievable,” said Mohammed, the Yemeni restaurant manager.

Trump’s address was a sometimesrambling speech that lasted more than 40 minutes.

In Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam, he neglected to mention that he has said before that “Islam hates us” and that the Quran teaches “some very negative vibe.” Instead, he praised the kingdom’s heritage.

His friendliness in front of the Saudi crowd stood in contrast to Biden’s chillier approach to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the de facto Saudi ruler who directed a yearslong bombing campaign in Yemen and has overseen a widespread crackdown on dissent while drastically loosening social restrictions. When Biden visited Saudi Arabia, he said that he told the crown prince he believed he was responsible for the 2018 killing and dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist critical of the crown prince.

Trump instead heaped plaudits on the Arabian Peninsula and Crown Prince Mohammed, calling him an “incredible man.”

“In recent years, far too many Ameri-

can presidents have been afflicted with the notion that it’s our job to look into the souls of foreign leaders and use U.S. policy to dispense justice for their sins,” Trump said.

His remarks left some Arab listeners worried about what the potential evaporation of American pressure over human rights violations could mean for their countries.

Ibrahim Almadi is the son of a 75-yearold American-Saudi dual national who was arrested in the kingdom over critical social media posts; his father was released but is not allowed to leave Saudi Arabia. In an interview, Almadi said he had hoped Trump would speak to Saudi officials about his father’s case during his visit — and that he had tried without success to reach out to officials across his administration. He sees it as the type of human rights violation that previous U.S. administrations would have pressed Saudi officials on.

“They are normalizing my dad’s case, which is not normal,” he said of the Trump administration.

A White House spokesperson did not answer questions about whether the president or his aides had raised human rights issues with Saudi officials. Asked about the reaction to his address, the spokesperson, Anna Kelly, said, “The president has received widespread praise for his speech.”

Abdullah Alaoudh, a member of a Saudi opposition party in exile and the son of a prominent cleric imprisoned in the kingdom, called the speech a public relations stunt for the benefit of Crown Prince Mohammed.

He added that he found it ironic that Trump was praising a Middle East built “by the people of the region” when he was speaking to an audience dotted with foreign billionaires and “in front of an authoritarian leader who has brutally silenced all dissent.”

In the ballroom in Riyadh, Trump received a standing ovation.

José “Pepe” Mujica did not have much use for Uruguay’s three-story presidential residence, with its chandeliers, elevator, marble staircase and Louis XV furniture.

“It’s crap,” he told me last year. “They should make it a high school.”

So when he became president of his small South American nation in 2010, Mujica decided he would commute from his home: a cluttered, three-room shack the size of a studio apartment, crammed with a wood stove, overstuffed bookcases and jars of pickling vegetables.

Before his death on Tuesday, Mujica lived there for decades with his lifelong partner, Lucía Topolansky — herself a former vice president — and their three-legged dog, Manuela. They farmed chrysanthemums to sell in local markets and drove their sky blue 1987 Volkswagen Beetle to their favorite tango bars.

There was no reason, he said, that a new job should require a move.

That meant that, after sitting side-by-side with Barack Obama in the Oval Office or lecturing world leaders on the dangers of capitalism at the United Nations, Mujica would fly home in coach to a life resembling that of a poor farmer.

It was a political masterstroke. His presidency failed to accomplish all of its economic goals. But his austere lifestyle made him revered by many Uruguayans for living like them, while giving him a platform in the international press to warn that greed was eroding society. He insisted it was truly how he wanted to live, but he also recognized that it served to illustrate that politicians had long had it too good.

“We have done everything possible to make the presidency less venerated,” Mujica told my New York Times predecessor in South America, Simon Romero, in 2013, sharing with him a gourd of mate, the herbal drink passed back and forth over conversation in this part of the world.

I visited Mujica at his same home last year. He was bundled in a winter coat and wool hat in front of a wood stove, frail and hardly able to eat as a result of radiation treatment for a tumor in his esophagus. But facing a journalist who could spread his ideas to the world for perhaps one of the final times, he held court for nearly two hours, expounding on how to find purpose and beauty in life and how, he told me unprompted, “humanity, as it’s going, is doomed.”

He also explained why he believed that the trappings of elected office — the palaces, the servants, the luxury jets — were the opposite of what democracy was supposed to be about.

“The cultural remnants of feudalism remain — inside the republic. The red carpet, the bugles when the feudal lord came out of the castle onto the bridge. All that remains,” he said. “The president likes to be praised.”

He recalled a visit to Germany while he was president. “They put me in a Mercedes-Benz. The door weighed about 3,000 kilos. They put 40 motorcycles in front and

another 40 in back,” he said. “I was ashamed.”

The international press nicknamed him the world’s “poorest president,” noting his net worth was $1,800 when he took office. Mujica detested the moniker and often quoted Roman court-philosopher Seneca: “It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor.”

It would be hard to find a more striking contrast to President Donald Trump, who has made living a gilded life central to his identity. In our interview, three months before the election, Mujica repeatedly brought up Trump. “It seems like a lie — a country like the United States having a candidate like Trump,” he said. “Democracy at the height of a doormat.”

Mujica entered politics in the 1960s as a bank-robbing leftist guerrilla. His group, the Tupamaros, gained notoriety for their violence. Mujica said they tried to avoid harming civilians, but added that the leftist struggle sometimes required force.

After escaping prison twice, he was imprisoned for 14 years under Uruguay’s military dictatorship, much of his sentence spent in solitary confinement. Trapped in a hole in the ground, he said, he befriended rats and a small frog to survive psychologically.

He was released as Uruguay reestablished democracy and was eventually elected to Congress, drawing attention for showing up to work on a Vespa. In 2009, voters made him president of the nation of 3.3 million.

Under Mujica, Uruguay decriminalized abortion, legalized same-sex marriage, pushed into renewable energy and became the first nation to fully legalize marijuana. Yet many of his goals, like significantly reducing inequality and improving education, fell victim to the realities of politics.

But as news of his death spread Tuesday, people across the world remembered him not for his policies. It was his humility that was his legacy.

Earlier this year, his political protégé, a former history teacher named Yamandú Orsi, took office as Uruguay’s new president. He has commuted to work from his family home, and Uruguay’s presidential mansion has mostly remained empty.

Trump’s third-term jokes deserve a serious response

By THE EDITORIAL BOARD

When Republicans took control of Congress in 1947, they were still angry that President Franklin D. Roosevelt had won a fourth term in 1944, and they set out to pass a constitutional amendment to limit future presidents to two terms. John Jennings, R-Tenn., stood on the House floor and said a 22nd Amendment was necessary to prevent a dictator from taking over the country.

“Without such a limit on the number of terms a man

may serve in the presidency, the time may come when a man of vaulting ambition becomes president,” Jennings said on Feb. 6, 1947. Such a man, backed by a “subservient Congress” and a compliant Supreme Court, could “sweep aside and overthrow the safeguards of the Constitution,” he said. Without such a law, a president could use the office’s great powers to tilt the political system in his favor and win repeated reelection. Eventually, that president could come to resemble a king, effectively unbound by the Constitution’s checks and balances.

In the decades after the country ratified the 22nd Amendment in 1951, members of both parties occasionally chafed against its restrictions, but no sitting president openly talked about evading it — until recently. Jennings’ warning on the House floor now looks prophetic: President Donald Trump is a man of vaulting ambition. Congress is largely subservient to his agenda. And he keeps mentioning the idea of a third term.

“I suspect I won’t be running again unless you say, ‘He’s so good, we’ve got to figure something else out,’” he said shortly after being reelected in November. Though Republicans in the room chuckled at the time, he said in March that he was “not joking” and that “there are methods which you could do it.”

This past weekend, he seemed to both step back from the idea and reiterate it. “It’s something that, to the best of my knowledge, you’re not allowed to do,” Trump told NBC News. But then he once again claimed that the decision was his to make. “Well, there are ways of doing it,” he said. All the while, his website continues to sell “Trump 2028” merchandise, including baseball caps for $50 apiece and $36 T-shirts that proclaim, “Rewrite the rules.”

It may be that this talk is mostly a tactical attempt to ward off the stigma of being a lame duck. Congressional Republicans have responded partly by gently disagreeing and partly by downplaying the idea as a joke. “Not without a change in the Constitution,” Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., the majority leader, told reporters in March. He added, “I think that you guys keep asking the question, and I think he’s probably having some fun with it, probably messing with you.”

But Trump’s third-term fantasizing is more dangerous than this response suggests, and it deserves more forceful pushback. He has a history, after all, of using seemingly outlandish speculation to push ideas he genuinely favors — such as overturning an election result — into mainstream discourse. He tests boundaries to see which limits are actually enforced. Even when he backs away from a provocation, he often succeeds in raising doubts about those limits. His behavior is consistent with a president who indeed wants to serve a third term, if not more, and who keeps raising the idea in the hope of getting Americans comfortable with it.

More broadly, Trump has repeatedly demonstrated his disdain for constitutional checks on a president’s

power. He has ignored parts of judges’ rulings, deported immigrants without due process and tried to eliminate the 14th Amendment’s grant of birthright citizenship through an executive order. All of this behavior suggests that he would prefer to wield power without limits.

The appropriate response from the rest of the political system — especially from Republican members of Congress, governors and others — is not to laugh off his musings. It is to assert the clarity of the law: Trump is barred from serving a third term, period.

The 22nd Amendment, to be specific, says no person shall be “elected” to the office of president more than twice, but it doesn’t say that no president shall serve more than twice. This has long led to an academic parlor game: Could a term-limited president run as a vice president and then be handed the Oval Office when his running mate resigns? Trump has said that is one method by which he might return as president.

But another amendment — the 12th — appears to rule out that possibility. Its final sentence declares that “no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of president shall be eligible to that of vice president of the United States.” Together, the two amendments make clear that Trump’s time in office cannot extend beyond his current term.

Republican politicians and conservative legal scholars often talk about the original intent of the Constitution’s authors, and that intent is crystal clear in this case. The goal of the 22nd Amendment was to restrict presidents to two terms. As Rep. Edward McCowen, R-Ohio, said during the House debate in 1947, “Eight years is long enough for a good president, and four years is too long for a bad one.”

In the decades since 1951, politicians from both parties occasionally called for the repeal of the 22nd Amendment, including Harry Truman and Mitch McConnell. But they did not argue that the amendment was unclear or could simply be evaded. They recognized that somebody who disagrees with a law should follow a legal process to change it. If Trump and his acolytes believe they have Congress and the states on their side, they are free to start a repeal campaign. What they should not do is pretend that any part of the Constitution is merely a suggestion. It’s the law.

Apagón por falla en válvula de gas deja sobre 140 mil clientes sin servicio, informa Josué Colón Ortiz

– Una falla en la válvula principal de inyección de gas natural provocó la salida de la Unidad 5 de la Central San Juan y dejó sin servicio eléctrico a más de 140 mil clientes de LUMA Energy este jueves, informó el ingeniero Josué Colón Ortiz, conocido como el Zar de Energía.

El funcionario explicó que la reserva de generación disponible, que supera los 900 megavatios, permitió restablecer el servicio de forma acelerada. “Hace unos minutos la Unidad 5 de San Juan tuvo un percance en la válvula principal de inyección de combustible, lo que ocasionó la salida de la unidad y la interrupción del servicio a los clientes”, indicó Colón Ortiz en declaraciones a periodistas.

El ingeniero precisó que la reserva en rotación era suficiente para atender la emergencia sin mayores contratiempos. “Ya bajó de 140 mil a cerca de 60

mil clientes sin servicio. Eso demuestra que la reserva fue capaz de absorber el impacto mientras se estabilizan voltajes y frecuencia en el sistema”, sostuvo.

Colón Ortiz añadió que la expectativa es que la unidad vuelva a sincronizarse en la tarde de hoy. “La planta no ha reportado daños mayores. El problema se concentró en la válvula de gas natural. Si no surgen complicaciones adicionales, la unidad podría estar operando nuevamente en las próximas dos horas”, detalló. El Zar de Energía recalcó la importancia de contar con capacidad de reserva suficiente para responder a fallas imprevistas. “Estas unidades sirven de respaldo. Cuando ocurre un evento de contingencia, es vital tener capacidad adicional para evitar interrupciones prolongadas que pueden extenderse por horas o días”, enfatizó.

Finalmente, aclaró que la válvula afectada es parte de una conversión a gas natural realizada entre 2019 y 2020, por lo que no se trata de equipos antiguos.

Instalarán torres de vigilancia en instituciones correccionales

JUAN – El secretario del Departamento de Corrección y Rehabilitación (DCR), licenciado Francisco Antonio Quiñones Rivera, anunció el jueves la instalación de torres con cámaras de vigilancia en las instituciones correccionales, con el fin de reforzar la seguridad en sus instalaciones.

“Este sistema de vigilancia permite visualizaciones en vivo y grabación de imágenes, así como otras herramientas de comunicación. El mismo tiene como fin velar por la seguridad de nuestros compañeros de trabajo, visitantes y los miembros de la población correccional”, indicó Quiñones Rivera en declaraciones escritas.

La inversión de 392,750 dólares contempla la colocación de estas to-

rres en los perímetros interiores y exteriores de las instituciones, así como en entradas, salidas y otras áreas designadas por la Oficina de Seguridad del DCR. El equipo operará con energía solar, garantizando su funcionamiento continuo incluso bajo condiciones adversas.

El secretario informó que un equipo de trabajo especializado será responsable de operar, manejar y mantener el sistema. Estas personas recibirán capacitación y deberán pasar una investigación de antecedentes como requisito para la asignación.

Quiñones Rivera destacó que la flexibilidad del equipo permitirá reubicar las torres según las necesidades de seguridad de cada institución, optimizando su uso para proteger al personal, visitantes y población correccional.

‘Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning’ review: Tom Cruise defies all

By MANOHLA DARGIS

For nearly three decades, Tom Cruise has been running, soaring, slugging and white-knuckling it through the “Mission: Impossible” series. It’s been fun, on and off, but it’s no wonder he looks so beaten up on the poster for the latest edition, “The Final Reckoning.” Cruise — who turns 63 this year — long seemed impervious to ordinary time, with a boyishness that lasted well into middle age. His early stardom had already granted him a kind of immortality. Yet as the lines on his face discreetly deepened, and he kept pushing himself to lunatic extremes in this series, it seemed as if he were challenging physical death itself.

Cruise is at it again in “The Final Reckoning” — the enjoyably unhinged follow-up to “Dead Reckoning Part One” (2023) — plunging into deep waters, hanging off an airborne plane and insistently defying the odds as well as his own mortality. It’s unclear why the title changed between the two parts. It might have been a marketing decision; dead is a bummer, of course, and the word implied that Cruise’s Ethan Hunt, an American operative extraordinaire, was heading toward the sort of bleak sign-off that capped Daniel Craig’s run as James Bond. Whatever the case, the change suits Cruise’s Ethan, whose abilities have grown so progressively super since the series began in 1996 they seem quasi-mystical.

“Dead Reckoning” ended with Ethan and his team trying to stop an artificial intelligence called the Entity that’s set on destroying Earth. (Why? Why not?) The AI’s plan is the ultimate power grab, although it also seems like overkill, given that humanity is already hurtling toward self-destruction. But the Entity’s exceedingly possible mission keeps everyone busy, including Ethan’s right-hand whizzes, Luther (Ving Rhames) and Benji (Simon Pegg), along with his love interest, Grace (Hayley Atwell), and the giddily anarchic one-woman wrecking machine Paris (Pom Klementieff). Mostly, though, the Entity’s annihilating designs mean that Ethan has to step up his game from superhero to global redeemer.

So, once more, Ethan et al. go unto the breach as they try to stop the Entity, which has thrown the world into chaos, inspired a doomsday cult and is trying to seize the world’s nukes — the usual. One of the dividends of the better big-studio productions is that they tend to be crowded with talented performers who can keep a straight face when delivering nonsense and sometimes bring feeling to the pro -

movies and the “Mission: Impossible” series. In each, his characters demonstrate extraordinary, even preposterous abilities, yet the movies only finally work because Cruise always makes sure that you see them — and him — sweat. He puts in the hard work for these diversions, and he wants you to know it, whether Ethan is baring his nearly naked body, as he repeatedly does in “Final Reckoning,” or is clinging to a biplane in midair, the rushing wind pulling his face into a Francis Bacon-style grimace.

the sight of a diverse group of male and female employees from both the government and military ready to sacrifice all for the greater good.

ceedings. So, as the clock runs down, characters enter and exit, including Angela Bassett’s tight-jawed American president and an army of appealing supporting players: Tramell Tillman, Janet McTeer, Shea Whigham, Holt McCallany, Nick Offerman and Hannah Waddingham.

This is the fourth “Mission: Impossible” movie directed by Christopher McQuarrie, who keeps the machinery well-oiled and smoothly running, even when cutting among multiple lines of action. (He shares screenwriting credit with Erik Jendresen.) Shrewdly, he often uses a similar approach when the pace slows and characters convene to explain what’s going on and why (mainly to us), cutting from one person to another, as each delivers a helpful sentence or two. This conversational turn-taking livens up all the information-heavy explanations and helps feed the forward momentum. None of it makes any sense, of course, no matter how sincerely the actors say their lines, yet everything flows.

Logic isn’t the reason movies like this exist or why we go to them, and one of the sustaining pleasures of the “Mission: Impossible” series has been its commitment to its own outrageousness. Cruise’s stunts have always been among the most outlandish and most memorable attractions in the series, which was spun off from the 1960s television show of the same title. He stepped into the role by escaping a wall of water and descending spiderlike into a luminously white, high-security vault, hanging by an unnervingly thin rope. The entire thing popped with cool stunts, striking locations, exotic doings and the sheer spectacle of Cruise’s intense physical performance.

Why does he keep going? Cruise has been in better, more critically acclaimed movies, but he’s most famous for — his stardom best appreciated in and signified by — the “Top Gun”

There’s vanity in Cruise’s commitment to extremes, and perhaps mania — who knows? Whatever makes him tick and inspires him to keep pushing and testing his limits is an open question, if presumably less relevant to viewers than whether the movies are actually worth seeing. “Final Reckoning” is flat-out ridiculous, but it’s a model example of blockbuster entertainment at its most highly polished, and I enjoyed it thoroughly, despite its clichés, extravagant violence and gung-ho militarism. Among other things, there is something reassuring in

Male-driven action movies often have a savior complex, with heroes who are beaten and brutalized only at last to rise vengefully triumphant. “Final Reckoning” leans hard into that familiar theme — the team faces betrayal, the fate of everyone on Earth is in Ethan’s hands — which gives the movie a quasi-religious dimension. That’s weird, no doubt, but there’s something plaintive about Ethan’s fight this time because it echoes the urgent struggles of workers in the entertainment industry (and everywhere else) to prevent their replacement by artificial intelligence. For years, Cruise has put on a very good show pretending to nearly die for our pleasure; now, though, his body really does seem on the line.

‘Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning’ Rated PG-13 for action-movie violence. Running time: 2 hours 49 minutes. In theaters.

This is the fourth “Mission: Impossible” movie directed by Christopher McQuarrie, who keeps the machinery well-oiled and smoothly running, even when cutting among multiple lines of action.

One astronaut, many cameras and 220 days of amazing images from space

By KENNETH CHANG

Don Pettit, NASA’s oldest active astronaut, returned to Earth on April 20, the day he turned 70 years old. That concluded his fourth trip to space — a busy 220 days at the International Space Station.

Like other crew members on the space station, Pettit conducted experiments, talked with students and exercised for hours to maintain his health and to stave off loss of bone density. But the most eye-catching work he performed in orbit was his photography.

Most people will never get a chance to go to space. “I could try to give them a glimpse through my imagery,” Pettit said during a news conference a couple weeks after his return.

Pettit noted that hard-core photographers always want to have a camera in hand. “I could look out the window and just enjoy the view,” he said. “But when I’m looking out the window, just enjoying the view, it’s like, ‘Oh, wow, a meteor. Oh, wow. Look at that. Man, there’s a flash there. What’s that?’ And ‘Oh, look at that, a volcano going off.’ It’s like, ‘OK, where’s my camera? I got to record that.’”

Sometimes he set up five cameras at once in the space station’s cupola module, where seven windows provide panoramic views of space and Earth. Space photography is often much like night photogra-

a crystal clear image of the Milky Way above a cloudy Pacific Ocean just before sunrise. The blue-purple glow emerges from the scattering of sunlight off nitrogen in Earth’s atmosphere.

In April, Pettit recorded a video of the ethereal rhythmic pulsations of auroras — the glowing light emitted when molecules in the atmosphere are bombarded by high-energy particles from the sun.

Sometimes the colorful lights were made by human activities, not cosmic phenomena. The green streaks in one picture are almost the same color as auroras, but they are the lights used by fishing boats off Thailand to attract squid.

With his camera pointing down at Earth, Pettit recorded lightning in the upper atmosphere above the Amazon basin in South America. For the video, the time was stretched in length to 33 seconds from about 6 seconds, revealing more structure in the flashes.

Pettit also took advantage of opportunities to capture the comings and goings of spacecraft from Earth — including a test launch of a SpaceX Starship rocket from Texas in November and the docking of a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft carrying cargo to the space station in December.

phy. Stars are dim, and exposures lasting seconds or minutes are needed to gather enough photons. But in orbit, nothing is sitting still. The space station is zooming around Earth at 5 miles per second, and Earth is also rotating.

Sometimes, Pettit took advantage of the motion for artistic beauty — lights below blurring into glowing lines, while the stars above traced arcs in the sky.

“I think these are a blend of both science and art,” Pettit wrote on the social platform X. “There is so much technogeek stuff to see, or you can simply sit back and think ‘How cool.’”

Other times, the camera was mounted on an “orbital sidereal tracker” — a homemade device that Pettit brought up from Earth that would pivot slowly to counteract the motion of the space station so that the lens remained pointed at a particular spot in the sky.

The tracker enabled a 10-second exposure to capture

During his off-duty time, Pettit also concocted fun science experiments. One showed electrically charged water droplets dancing around a Teflon knitting needle. “I want to do things in space that you can only do in space,” he said. “And I’ll worry about catching up with TV programs and things like that after I come back.”

In another experiment, he injected food coloring into a sphere of water, creating a globule that somewhat resembled Jupiter, or a very pretty marble.

Pettit also dissolved an antacid tablet within a water sphere. Without gravity to make the bubbles rise and easily escape from the water, the patterns of plop, plop, fizz, fizz are completely different in space.

He also froze thin wafers of water ice at minus 140 degrees Fahrenheit. “What would you do with such a freezer in space?” he wrote on X. “I decided to grow thin wafers of water ice for no more reason than I’m in space and I can.”

Photographing the ice wafers through polarizing filters revealed intricate crystal patterns.

Pettit is the oldest current NASA astronaut, but he is not the oldest person to go to orbit. That was John Glenn, who was the first American astronaut to circle Earth in 1962, and then flew again in 1998 on space shuttle Discovery at the age of 77.

Pettit is not even the oldest person to spend time at the space station. A private astronaut, Larry Connor, was 72 years old when he spent two weeks there in 2022 as part of a mission operated by Axiom Space of Houston.

“I’m only 70, so I’ve got a few more good years left,” Pettit said during the news conference. “I could see getting another flight or two in before I’m ready to hang up my rocket nozzles.”

This kind of sleep is essential for a healthy brain

By MOHANA RAVINDRANATH

Agood night’s sleep isn’t just about the number of hours you log. Getting quality sleep — the kind that leaves you feeling refreshed and ready for the day — is critical for a healthy brain.

People with disturbed sleep, like insomnia or sleep apnea, have a higher risk of developing dementia than those with no sleep issues. Poor sleep can harm your brain in other ways, too. One study found that people in their 30s and 40s with heavily disrupted sleep (such as frequent awakenings or movements) were two to three times more likely to test lower in executive function, working memory and processing speeds a decade or so later.

Scientists think that deep sleep and rapid eye movement (or REM) sleep are particularly influential when it comes to brain health and dementia risk. A study published in March on people with deep sleep and REM deficiencies found that the subjects’ brains showed signs of atrophy in MRI scans 13 to 17 years after the deficiencies were observed; the atrophy looked similar to what you’d find in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease.

What scientists know so far

When you’re asleep, your brain continuously cycles through four distinct phases: Two stages of lighter sleep, when your body relaxes and your heart rate and temperature drop; deep sleep or slow wave sleep, when brain activity slows; and REM, when you typically dream. The brain generally takes about 90 minutes to cycle through all four stages and then restarts the process.

Deep sleep and REM help your brain “heal itself” from fatigue and stress and consolidate memories, said Matthew Pase, an associate professor at the School of Psychological Sciences at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. In deep sleep, your brain regulates metabolism and hormones; it also acts as a “rinse” for the brain, clearing out waste. REM is when your brain processes emotions and new information you picked up when you were awake.

The two phases influence dementia risk in different ways, scientists think.

As part of the rinsing process in deep sleep, your brain flushes out amyloid proteins that are a hallmark of Alzheimer’s. Years of interrupted deep sleep and incomplete flushing — known as glymphatic failure — could hasten the onset of dementia, said Dr. Maiken Nedergaard, a neurology professor at the Uni-

Two particular phases in your nightly routine seem to play outsize roles in cognitive health. (Georgette Smith/The New York Times)

versity of Rochester Medical Center who researches the glymphatic system.

Scientists understand less about how REM is tied to dementia risk, said Dr. Roneil Malkani, an associate professor of sleep medicine at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine.

A 2017 study of more than 300 people over 60 found that a shorter amount of nightly REM sleep, and taking longer to get to the REM phase in each sleep cycle, were both predictors for dementia later in life. That could be because REM is “vitally important” for storing and processing memories, and losing that capacity both weakens the brain’s defenses against cognitive decline and can accelerate atrophy in parts of the brain that aren’t used, said Pase, who co-wrote the study.

It’s also hard to tease out the “chicken and egg” relationship between sleep and dementia, and whether poor sleep definitively causes it, Pase said. Adults (particularly women) naturally spend less time in deep and REM sleep as they age. Scientists already know aging itself increases dementia risk, but dementia also tends to worsen sleep. It’s possible the two processes “compound each other,” he said.

Tips for a better night’s sleep

It’s generally difficult to target individual stages of sleep for improvement, and as you get older, experts think it may be harder to change the brain’s sleep cycles. But there’s no

downside to improving your sleep hygiene, which is an effective way to boost your sleep overall, including deep and REM sleep, Malkani said.

Getting about seven hours of sleep a night is the easiest step you can take. That gives your brain enough time to cycle through its stages between four and seven times, he said.

Research has shown that people who sleep six hours or less a night in their 50s, 60s and 70s have a 30% increased risk of dementia later in life, suggesting that it’s never too late to improve your sleep, said Bryce Mander, an associate professor of psychiatry and human behavior at the University of California, Irvine.

Having a consistent sleep and wake time can help you fall asleep more easily, said Zsófia Zavecz, a postdoctoral researcher at the Adaptive Brain Lab at the University of Cambridge.

What’s more, parts of the brain that are used heavily during the day tend to exhibit slower brain waves during sleep, so doing anything that “meaningfully engages the brain for a while,” like learning a new skill, could exhaust certain parts and increase their need for restorative, slow-wave sleep, Zavecz said.

Exercising can keep you mentally engaged and increase blood flow to the brain, which is helpful in glymphatic clearance, Nedergaard said. Minimizing stress also boosts

the process, she added.

So how do you know if you’re getting enough sleep? Wearable trackers or smartphone apps can estimate the amount of time you spend in each cycle, but Malkani said it’s more helpful to ask yourself, “How do I feel when I wake up?” And if you wake up in the middle of the night, ask “How long did it take me to fall back asleep?”

In general, setting aside enough time to sleep is the best way to ensure your brain reaches deeper stages — and depending on deficits, it may spend more time in REM or deep sleep as it cycles, Pase said. “Let the brain do its thing, and it will shuffle around as it needs,” he said.

en la responsabilidad de los mismos, sin destinarse a su extinción el precio del remate. EXPIDO, el presente EDICTO, en Carolina, Puerto Rico, hoy día 16 de abril de 2025. ALGUACIL MILDRED CASTRO, DIVISIÓN DE SUBASTAS, TRIBUNAL DE PRIMERA INSTANCIA, SALA SUPERIOR DE CAROLINA.

Manfred’s decision to reinstate Rose raises questions about what’s next

By KEN ROSENTHAL / THE ATHLETIC

The first question about Pete Rose’s reinstatement is obvious: Why did Rob Manfred, the commissioner of Major League Baseball, reverse course? Though Rose’s lawyer and oldest daughter surely made heartfelt pleas on behalf of Rose, the career hits leader, it is reasonable to wonder if pressure on Manfred from President Donald Trump had a greater impact.

If Trump did indeed help persuade the commissioner, it leads to another question: Can the president succeed in lobbying Rose into the Baseball Hall of Fame? Influencing the Hall’s committee process might be more challenging, but after Manfred’s stunning decision Tuesday to posthumously remove Rose, Shoeless Joe Jackson and others from MLB’s permanently ineligible list, who can say for sure?

Rose, who died last Sept. 30, wanted nothing more than to be enshrined in Cooperstown, but said on multiple occasions that it would never happen while he was alive. His former lawyer, Jeffrey Lenkov, and oldest daughter,

Fawn Rose, met with Manfred on Dec. 17 about taking the first step in that effort, and removing him from the ineligible list. Trump, who has been quite public in his support of Rose, met with Manfred at the White House on April 17. Manfred acknowledged Rose was a point of discussion.

The ban Rose accepted in 1989 for betting on baseball was a permanent one, not a lifetime one. Based on that language alone, Manfred could have reasonably justified extending the penalty into perpetuity. In 2022, after receiving a letter from Rose asking for forgiveness, Manfred told the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, “I believe that when you bet on baseball, from Major League Baseball’s perspective, you belong on the permanently ineligible list.”

But in a letter to Lenkov, who had petitioned Manfred for Rose’s reinstatement, the commissioner wrote Tuesday, “In my view, a determination must be made regarding how the phrase ‘permanently ineligible’ should be interpreted regarding Rule 21,” which addresses betting on baseball by people in the sport. “Obviously, a person no longer with us cannot represent a

threat to the integrity of the game.”

Did Rose’s death soften Manfred? Was the case presented to the commissioner by Rose’s lawyer and daughter singularly moving? Doubtful on both counts, considering Manfred’s resistance to reinstating Rose in the past. Only after Trump entered the picture did the commissioner do an about-face.

Manfred is nothing if not shrewd. He surely did not want to risk the president embarrassing him publicly on social media. He also probably did not want to get on Trump’s wrong side at a time when he is pushing for a direct-to-consumer streaming service for the league and the migration from broadcast to streaming by professional sports leagues is under government scrutiny. Also, while Trump is known to be pro-management, it is not out of the realm of possibility that, if sufficiently annoyed, he could threaten baseball’s antitrust exemption.

Reinstating Rose, at least in a narrow, shortterm view, comes at little cost. The Hall of Fame is the true prize for Rose’s supporters. And while Manfred sits on the Hall’s board, he can safely distance himself from whatever decision the Hall makes on Rose’s fate. As the commissioner wrote in his letter to Lenkov, “I want to emphasize that it is not part of my authority or responsibility to express any view concerning Mr. Rose’s consideration by or possible election to the Hall of Fame.”

The writers’ association never got the chance to vote on Rose. Under a rule adopted by the Hall’s board in 1991 — 1 1/2 years after Rose agreed to his ban, and the same year he would have been on the writers’ ballot for the first time — a player on the ineligible list cannot be considered for election to the Hall. Rose’s removal from that list changes nothing for the writers; his eligibility for our ballot has expired.

Now that Rose is reinstated, the way for him to gain induction is by passing muster with two Hall committees. The first is a BBWAA-appointed and board-approved Historical Overview Committee, a group that conducts an initial screening process and seemingly would rubber-stamp Rose’s candidacy to allow him a full hearing. The second is a 16-member era committee made up of Hall of Famers, executives and veteran media members.

The era committees work on three-year rotations. Without directly referring to Rose and Jackson, the Hall’s chair, Jane Forbes Clark, said in a statement that players removed from the permanently ineligible list would be classified in the Classic Baseball Era, which covers players who made their greatest impact before 1980. Thus, Rose and Jackson will be eligible for election in the winter of 2027, as part of the class of 2028.

Each of the eight candidates on an era committee ballot must receive 75% approval. Rose, then, would need 12 voters willing to overlook his past indiscretions, including his alleged sexual relationship with a girl under 16 in the 1970s (which he has denied, acknowledging the relationship but saying she was 16 at the time); his five-month prison sentence for tax evasion in 1990; and, of course, his betting on baseball.

The committee presumably would weigh not just Rose’s 4,256 hits but also the implications of electing him, the message it would send, the precedent it would set. Manfred’s decision on Rose, Jackson and other members of the 1919 Black Sox might have almost immediate ramifications. The possibility of a current player betting on baseball is hardly far-fetched. It is not all that difficult to imagine Trump calling out individual committee members, whose identities are revealed a few days before the committee meets. The president has said he would pardon Rose. But the tax evasion conviction is the only one of Rose’s issues Trump could forgive. And that is not what kept Rose out of Cooperstown, where Trump clearly feels he belongs.

Commenting on his social media platform, Truth Social, after Rose’s death, Trump described Rose, a 17-time All-Star, as “one of the most magnificent players ever to play the game.” The president added: “He paid the price! Major League Baseball should have allowed him into the Hall of Fame many years ago.”

If he were elected, Rose’s contributions to the game would finally be recognized. His family and friends would celebrate an honor they consider long overdue. And the Hall, it can be argued, would become more complete.

Our society frequently is willing to forgive misconduct by famous figures. Prominent politicians, sports and entertainment figures routinely are afforded second acts. Rose for years argued he deserved the same.
