Record participation in 5K at MS race & walk at Muñoz Rivera Park

By THE STAR STAFF

The 12th edition of the PR MS Walk, a family event held at Luis Muñoz Rivera Park in San Juan, concluded with unprecedented success on Sunday.

The event, organized by the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation of Puerto Rico as part of awareness activities during the month dedicated to the fight against the disease, had as its main objective raising awareness about multiple sclerosis and its impact on the island population.

The event was divided into two parts. The first consisted of a 5-kilometer race, which started at 7:30 a.m. and in which, for the first time, more than 1,000 people participated.

“We had never reached this number,” said Lourdes Fernández, executive director of the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation of Puerto Rico. “The time we had the most was

in 2020 and it was 800.”

The second part of the event, which started at 8 a.m., was a 3K walk, in which about 3,000 people participated.

The general population, family members, caregivers and health professionals, especially neurologists, and patients participated in the competition, despite everything involved in finishing a 5K race.

“We always have patients who run in the 5K even though it is difficult for them, because of fatigue, because of their symptoms, because of the sun, because of the heat,” Fernández said. “And this year we also had 34 patients who met the goal. We’ve never had that number. It had always been in the 10 or 15 range, but not 34.”

It was clear on Sunday how well the event has been received by both the general population and the medical community that stands in solidarity with patients.

“It’s an event that demonstrates the effort that all these patients make to complete their walk, much owing to their pride,” Fernández said. “So it’s a motivational event that, at the end of the day, the participants leave very satisfied knowing that we’ve raised awareness, … that we’ve made known what the disease is and all the difficulties that it implies, because it’s a complex disease.” Puerto Rico is estimated to have the highest prevalence rate of multiple sclerosis, a condition of the nervous system that affects the brain and spinal cord, in Latin America and the Caribbean, affecting nearly 5,000 patients.

Law enacted allowing blind students equal access to College Board

By THE STAR STAFF

Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia has signed Senate Bill 1209 into law, which aims to ensure that blind students have equal opportunity access to the College Board exam.

The bill’s author, Senate Vice President Marially González Huertas, said the legislation represents significant progress in the recognition and respect of the rights of people with visual disabilities in the educational field.

“It is a priority for this public servant to guarantee that blind students can access standardized exams in a manner adapted to their needs and offer them the tools to achieve their academic and professional goals,” González Huertas said.

The new Law 50-2024 amends the “Law on Equal Opportunities and Access to Higher Education” to include

a new article that establishes the rights of blind students and guarantees they have the opportunity to take the College Board exam using the braille reading and writing system, enlarged print, readers and note-takers, or any other technological assistance that allows them to take the exam in an adapted manner.

“The support for this legislation, which has already become law, represents our commitment to our students and equal opportunities,” the senator said. “This law is an advance toward a more equitable and accessible educational system for all.”

The legislation, which Sens. Keren Riquelme Cabrera and Albert Torres Berríos co-authored, had the support of the Department of Education, the ombudsman for people with disabilities and the governor.

For the first time, more than 1,000 people lined up in the 5-kilometer race at Sunday’s PR MS Walk held at Luis Muñoz Rivera Park in San Juan.

Oversight board says Puerto Rico revenue outlook is uncertain

By THE STAR STAFF

Puerto Rico revenues, which saw a boom after the pandemic and the injection of federal funds, saw a decline in fiscal year 2024, which began last July, the Financial Oversight and Management Board said in a recent mid-year financial report.

“This is a sign that revenues may have slowed and a reminder that the revenue outlook is uncertain,” said Robert Mujica, the oversight board’s executive director. “The government will need to prioritize any additional spending to ensure the Commonwealth can afford commitments in the long term.”

The mid-year report provided a detailed

analysis of Puerto Rico’s fiscal position in the first half of the current fiscal year 2024 and potential risks to the financial projections in the Fiscal Plan for Puerto Rico. The report is based on financial data available through Dec. 31, 2023.

General Fund revenues have grown since the pandemic but plateaued in the previous fiscal year which ended in June 2023. Receipts for last December were below projections for the current year and showed a year-over-year decline. For the first month this year, actual revenues were below projections and last year’s collections.

For the year to date, cumulative General Fund revenue has surpassed the forecast by $540 million and last year’s revenue by about $400 million. October 2023 accounted for about 50% of the year-to-date outperformance, which may represent a lagging impact from tax year 2022 because final payments for extension filers were due in October 2023, the oversight board said.

General Fund expenditures year to date were $111 million below the same period last year and $900 million below forecast, primarily due to delays in recording $355 million of

expenditures and an additional $350 million of differences in the timing of when expenditures were being incurred compared to the forecast.

Cash balances increased but most cash remains allocated for specific purposes and certain spending is not yet reflected in the Treasury Single Account balance, and cash balance remains limited when considering the economic uncertainties and financial risks.

Risks include the uncertain long-term outlook regarding Medicaid federal funds and additional commonwealth contributions to fund disaster relief projects due to inflation-based cost escalation and match requirements.

The mid-year report also incorporates additional risks that have recently emerged, including the implementation of OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) Pillar 2 conforming tax legislation globally and recent legislation impacting spending or revenues. In the second quarter, the island Legislature continued its trend of passing or enacting at least eight pieces of legislation amounting to a total estimated unfunded annual cost between $10 and $26 million, the oversight board pointed out.

Lawmaker files bill ordering PRITS to create app to report abuse

By THE STAR STAFF

Individuals who are victims of abuse, whether children or adults, will be able to report their situations confidentially through an app if legislation filed by Rep. José “Che” Pérez Cordero becomes law.

Recently, the at-large legislator introduced House Bill 2054 calling for the Puerto Rico Innovation and Technology Serrvice (PRITS) to create a new application for mobile phones so victims can confidentially report situations of abuse and sexual assault.

The new app, called the “Cuéntamelo” digital platform, also allows the victim to request assistance from the Puerto Rico Police Bureau (PRPB) and other relevant agencies.

“An important element of technology is that it allows a channel of communication and citizen expression under strict confidentiality parameters,” Pérez Cordero said in a radio interview. “These spaces allow children, young people, adults and the elderly to confidentially express a complaint or situation to which they were exposed or know of a person who was exposed. This application fills a need so that

the minor can express confidentially whether she was a victim or knows someone who was a victim of abuse or sexual assault. This offers greater security to the victims, our children, who are the future of Puerto Rico.”

The bill would authorize the central government through PRITS to develop an application whose operational function is a system

to report a situation of abuse confidentially and request assistance from the PRPB and other relevant agencies.

The complaint received by the police must be handled confidentially. The relevant authorities would investigate the complaint reported by the emergency system in the application, taking the appropriate measures to

safeguard the confidentiality of the process. Citizens would have free access to the application through mobile devices such as cell phones and tablets, the lawmaker said in a radio interview.

“We have to be proactive because for every case of abuse or sexual assault that comes to light, dozens, if not hundreds, remain in the dark, and that is what we seek to avoid,” Pérez Cordero said. “This application allows the minor to tell of their case or that of a friend or family member, with the assurance that it will be confidential. In these times we live in, this is an invaluable tool.”

In 2022, Puerto Rico had more than 19,000 total referrals for child abuse and neglect. Of those, 8,450 were referred for investigation.

According to the PRPB, the average number of domestic violence cases reported in Puerto Rico exceeds 600 per month.

In addition, at least 10% of adults aged 60 and older will experience some form of elder abuse in a given year, with some older adults simultaneously experiencing more than one type of abuse.

FEMA allocates $2 million in funding to restore historic food markets

By THE STAR STAFF

Four marketplaces located in Las Piedras, San Juan and Vega Baja will undergo renovations with nearly $2 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

The allocations seek to foster and promote the plazas, which are of great significance to the municipalities and their communities.

In general, the plazas will undergo repairs to lighting, security and roof membranes, in addition to replacing doors, air conditioners, signs and windows.

“The personal service and the variety of products and services, in addition to the sense of tradition and familiarity of the people, are part of what makes Puerto Rico’s marketplaces unique,” said FEMA’s Federal Disaster Recovery Coordinator in Puerto Rico José G. Baquero. “For FEMA it is important to be part of their revitalization, as they promote the economy of the municipalities through small merchants and are meeting points for locals and tourists”

One of the projects in the allocation is the Héctor A. Joy Sandín Marketplace in Vega Baja, with over $876,400 to repair three of its facilities: the Market Plaza, an annex and the Public Car Terminal. Hazard mitigation measures such as the replacement of roof panels with water-resistant ones are part of an allocation of over $39,000.

The repairs will help root vegetable vendors like Osvaldo Camacho Alicea receive their customers in a safer and more comfortable area.

Camacho Alicea spent part of his child-

hood working in the former marketplace with his father, Marcelo Camacho Martínez, who had a root vegetable stand.

“In 1967 my dad brought me to work with him and I stayed until 1975. I had no vacations or holidays; I had to be with him working. I didn’t like the work, but he said to me, ‘If you don’t study, I’m going to give you a college that you won’t have to pay for.’ I graduated from high school, went to Chicago and in 1983 I returned to Puerto Rico, to this day,” Camacho Alicea said.

For him, marketplaces are important and, although he confessed that the number

of customers has decreased over the years, he thinks that the tradition should continue. In fact, he still keeps in his stall the bus horn that he used to sell root vegetables around the neighborhoods.

Luis R. Pérez Santos, the executive assistant in charge of the Office of Protocol, Calendar and Communications in Vega Baja, pointed out that people still visit the marketplace because it has everything they could need.

“The people’s hospitality and the type of business here, which no longer exist in the urban centers, such as greengrocers, lottery

salespeople, the hair salon, the flower shop; all that and obviously a cafeteria that is legendary,” he said. “You will find the best stuffed potatoes there.”

In the municipality of San Juan, two plazas received a total of over $718,500 for repairs. They are the Rafael Hernández Marketplace in Río Piedras, built in 1956, which has been awarded $672,000; and the Santurce Marketplace, built in 1912, with over $46,000.

Miguel Ángel Orta Vélez, the executive officer in charge of the Santurce Marketplace, said the marketplace tradition is still alive. He noted that the plaza has evolved and has become a place recognized worldwide for its artistic and cultural events, and receives nearly 400,000 visitors each year.

“The Plaza has survived despite the proliferation of other spaces that sell food,” he said. “The tradition of people coming to the square to eat prepared foods and search for their root vegetables, fruits and vegetables, it remains here.”

Orta Vélez also emphasized that for the merchants this is their way of life.

“Some of them have been here for 30 or 40 years and many of them are the children of those who were originally here in the plaza,” he said.

One of those second-generation merchants is Jorge Luis Otero. For nearly 60 years, his father was in charge of the stall that he now manages. For Otero, it’s not only about the importance of cultural heritage, but also about offering good prices and a pleasant experience to the visitor, “so that they are satisfied and come back.”

No sign of hunter missing on Mona Island

By THE STAR STAFF

The Bureau of Emergency Management and Disaster Administration Commissioner Nino Correa Filomeno announced on Saturday that the search for the hunter who disappeared Feb. 21 on Mona Island would be suspended.

“The disappearance of the hunter will continue to be under investigation by the Criminal Investigations Corps (CIC) of the Police Bureau, who have been working on this case from the beginning in conjunction with the different municipal, state and federal agencies,” Correa Filomeno said. “Four rescuers and six cave experts returned today, joining the more than 100 rescuers, cave experts and hunters who went to carry out active search work in that place in the past 18 days.”

“At the moment, no clues have been found that would

help us find his whereabouts. It is appropriate to review the maps with the police and, if we find any evidence for which we must return, we would send rescuers and personnel back to Mona Island to continue the active search,” he added. “In the meantime, we continue to establish work plans according to the search patterns already made. “At NMEAD, we never close searches until we find the whereabouts of the person we are looking for. In this and other cases, the police investigative work continues, in conjunction with the information gathered by NMEAD and the other agencies.”

Correa Filomena said that any hunter or cave expert who has participated in the search should report the information they have been able to collect to NMEAD and/or the Department of Natural and Environmental Resources so that they can record it on the maps and continue identifying points of interest.

A hunter went missing on Mona Island on Feb. 21. Search and rescue efforts since then have come up empty.

A $2 million allocation from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for renovations at four “plazas de mercado” seeks to foster and promote the markets’ significant role in municipal and community life.

Biden signs legislation to extend funding for critical departments

By PETER BAKER

President Joe Biden signed a $460 billion spending package Saturday to avert a shutdown of critical federal departments even as lawmakers continue to wrestle over a financing blueprint for many other agencies more than halfway into the current fiscal year.

The president finalized the legislation before leaving his home in Wilmington, Delaware, to fly to Atlanta for a campaign rally. It will extend funding through the rest of the fiscal year, ending Sept. 30, for about half of the government, including the departments of Agriculture, Energy, Justice, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Veterans Affairs.

But the rest of the government, including the Pentagon and the Homeland Security Department, remained on short-term life support, facing the prospect of running out of money by March 22 unless Congress and the president can agree on a plan. In his short tenure, Speaker Mike Johnson has made clear his desire to avoid a shutdown, even to the point of relying on Democratic votes, but the path ahead remains tricky.

In a statement issued by the White House, Biden made no mention of the outstanding issues but simply expressed his gratitude to eight congressional leaders for defusing the crisis over the first half of government.

The $460 billion legislation, which packaged six of the 12 annual spending bills, was passed on lopsided bipartisan votes in the House on Wednesday, 339-85, and in the Senate on Friday, 75-22, just in time to beat a midnight deadline when funding was set to lapse. Biden ordered preparations for a partial shutdown to halt until he could sign the bill Saturday.

The measure will largely hold the funding of the affected agencies to the levels in the debt limit and spending deal negotiated last year by Biden and Johnson’s predecessor, Kevin McCarthy, keeping domestic spending relatively flat outside of certain veterans’ programs.

While Republicans managed to insert some relatively modest policy provisions into the package, their most polarizing demands were rejected. Among the policies Republicans failed to include in the spending package was a move stripping funding for a new rule by the Food and Drug Administration allowing the abortion drug mifepristone to be distributed through the mail and at retail locations.

“Thank you,” he wrote, naming the eight “for their leadership.”

Congress now has 13 days to figure out the six remaining spending bills unless it votes to give itself more time — a challenge for Johnson, who is under enormous pressure from hard-liners in his conference to hold out for deeper spending cuts in domestic programs, even though he has an extremely narrow majority.

At rally in Atlanta, Biden attacks Trump by name

By NICHOLAS HEHAMAS

At his State of the Union address on Thursday, President Joe Biden attacked former President Donald Trump, the likely Republican presidential nominee, but he never said his name.

On Saturday, at a campaign rally in Atlanta, Biden felt no such restraint. He lashed out directly at Trump, who was holding his own rally 90 minutes to the northwest, where Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga. — who interrupted the president during his address to Congress — was one of the speakers.

“Here’s a guy who’s kicking off his general-election campaign up the road with Marjorie Taylor Greene,” Biden said near the beginning of his speech. “It can tell you a lot about a person who he keeps company with.”

Biden then criticized Trump for hosting Viktor Orban, the leader of Hungary, at his Mar-a-Lago club, in Palm Beach, Florida. on Friday, saying that the two men shared similar autocratic tendencies.

“When he says he wants to be a dictator, I believe him,” Biden said of the former president.

For Biden, the rally offered the chance to prove

that his high-volume, high-energy State of the Union performance was no fluke. Dogged by questions about his age, Biden delivered a loud and lively 20-minute speech before a crowd of several hundred people at an event space inside an Atlanta warehouse, the day after putting on a similar showing outside Philadelphia. Earlier Saturday, his campaign released an ad in which Biden poked fun at his age.

At a competing rally in Rome, Georgia, Trump struck back, assailing the president’s strikingly political State of the Union address and calling it an “angry, dark, hatefilled rant.” He then made fun of Biden’s stutter, slurring his words in a mocking imitation.

Georgia is a key battleground state, and Biden won it by fewer than 12,000 votes in 2020. On Tuesday, the state will hold its Democratic and Republican presidential primaries, although the results are all but a foregone conclusion. Biden and Trump are almost certain to be the nominees. Still, both are struggling to tame rebellious wings within their parties.

In the Republican nominating contests, Trump has shown signs that he is struggling in moderate, suburban areas. On the Democratic side, Biden has faced a grow-

ing protest-vote movement from those angry over his support for Israel in its war in the Gaza Strip.

On Saturday, the president got a reminder of that outrage when a protester interrupted his speech, shouting “Genocide Joe” before the crowd’s chants of “Four more years!” drowned the man out and security removed him. Such protests have been a regular disruption at Biden’s public appearances, and the incident seemed to throw the president off, if only for a moment.

He was soon back to taking shots at Trump.

One line of attack he did not pursue, however, was the former president’s criminal indictments. Georgia is one of the four jurisdictions where Trump is facing charges, having been accused in an indictment last year of orchestrating a “criminal enterprise” to reverse the results of the state’s 2020 vote.

Biden has been notably silent about his rival’s legal woes — which Trump has said, without evidence, are politically motivated — even when the setting would seem to invite such an attack. His rally Saturday took place just a few miles from the Fulton County Jail, where last year Trump was booked and had a glowering mug shot taken.

In combative speech filled with insults, Trump vilifies Biden and migrants

By MICHAEL GOLD

Early in his remarks at what was effectively his first campaign rally of the general election, former President Donald Trump on Saturday blasted President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address as an “angry, dark, hate-filled rant” that was more divisive than unifying.

Then, in the nearly two hours that followed, Trump, speaking in Rome, Georgia, used inflammatory language to stoke fears on immigration, and repeated his false claim that the 2020 election was stolen from him.

The former president, who faces four criminal cases, called the press “criminals.” And he mocked Biden’s stutter and revived a litany of grievances against political opponents, prosecutors and television executives.

Trump told thousands of his supporters gathered at the rally that “everything Joe Biden touches” turns to filth, although he used an expletive to describe the result. “Everything. I tried finding a different word, but there are some words that cannot be duplicated.” (He used the word, or a variant, at least four times in his speech.)

The former president’s speech in Georgia, a key battleground state that he narrowly lost in 2020, underscored that Trump is not likely to temper the ominous and at times apocalyptic vision that has animated his campaign, even as his last remaining Republican rival has dropped out and the general election has come into focus.

As he has in the past, Trump insisted that the biggest danger facing the United States was his political opponents, whom he labeled “the threat from within,” a turn inward that has alarmed experts for its similarity to language used by totalitarian leaders.

But in a speech replete with digressive rants, Trump reserved some of his most incendiary rhetoric to vilify migrants crossing the border illegally. Much of his speech was focused on immigration, an issue that he and his advisers have signaled will be central to his efforts to defeat Biden and return to the White House.

While vowing to expand his crackdown on immigration, Trump described the continuing surge of migrants across the southern border as “the agony of our people, the plunder of our cities, the sacking of our towns, the violation of our citizens and the conquest of our country.”

Trump also took aim at Biden’s policies on immigration, in part by using the Georgia setting to blame his rival for the death of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student who was killed in the state last month by, according to authorities, a Venezuelan migrant who had entered the country illegally and had been released on parole.

Trump met with Riley’s parents before taking the stage, and the Trump campaign distributed signs at the rally with Riley’s photograph. During his speech, Trump accused Biden of neglecting the surge of migrants at the border, which he called a “deadly invasion that stole precious Laken’s beautiful American life.”

Trump often broadly casts those crossing the border

illegally as violent criminals. “The migrants are hurting people,” Trump said. “They talk about the beautiful dream of migrants. It sounds so nice, you know, like in a fairy-tale book. But some of these people are monsters.”

Border authorities, including some who worked for Trump, have said that most of the migrants who cross the border are members of families fleeing violence and poverty.

But Riley’s death has become a flashpoint in the nation’s heated debate over immigration policy, in part because it seems to adhere to Trump’s long-stated belief that violent men are flooding across the border to harm Americans.

“He was an illegal migrant, and he shouldn’t have been in our country, and he never would have been under the Trump policy,” Trump said of the man accused of killing Riley.

Trump also attacked Biden for expressing regret that he used the word “illegal” to describe the man accused in Riley’s death during an exchange at the State of the Union address on Thursday.

The speech that Trump gave on Saturday was his first since Biden repeatedly attacked him and his policies in his State of the Union address. “Joe Biden should not be shouting angrily at America,” Trump said. “America should be shouting angrily at Joe Biden.”

But his critiques moved toward personal insults.

At one point, Trump slurred his words and pretended to stutter in a mocking imitation of the president, who has dealt with a stutter since childhood.

It was one of several such attacks Trump lobbed during the event. Of former television anchor Megyn Kelly, with whom Trump sparred during his first presidential run, he said “may she rest in peace.” While talking about the success that his time on “The Apprentice” had brought NBC, he called Jeff Zucker, the network’s former chief executive, an “idiot.”

Trump also denigrated a number of prosecutors and judges involved in the criminal cases and multiple civil lawsuits in which he is entangled. He spent a considerable amount of time attacking Fani Willis, the district attorney prosecuting him over his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss in Georgia.

Trump called Willis “corrupt,” referring to allegations that she benefited financially after becoming romantically involved with a lawyer whom she hired on the case.

He also repeated his false contention that he won in Georgia in 2020, maintaining that he had done nothing wrong when he called state elections officials, insisted that he had won Georgia and asked Georgia’s secretary of state to “find” the votes he needed to win.

“Perfect phone call,” Trump said, “other than we challenged the honesty of this election. This election was rigged.”

Army investigators search for answers after helicopter crash that killed 3

Emergency responders at the site of a helicopter crash near La Grulla, Texas, not far from the border with Mexico, on March 8, 2024. Three people were killed and one was critically injured after a helicopter carrying National Guard members and a Border Patrol agent crashed in southern Texas on Friday while following people who were crossing the border with Mexico, officials said. (Verónica G. Cárdenas/The New York Times)

By ADEEL HASSAN and CAROL ROSENBERG

Army investigators on Saturday headed to the site where a military helicopter crashed in southern Texas the previous day, killing two National Guard soldiers and a Border Patrol agent.

A third National Guard soldier in the helicopter was seriously injured, accord-

ing to Gen. Daniel R. Hokanson, chief of the National Guard Bureau. The names of those onboard may be released Sunday, the National Guard said.

The personnel were on a flight that was considered a routine mission near Rio Grande City supporting federal border operations, according to Joint Task Force North, the unit of the U.S. Defense Department that works with federal law enforcement agencies on

the border.

The crash, which occurred in La Grulla, a small city of roughly 1,400 people in Starr County about 110 miles west of South Padre Island, was unrelated to Operation Lone Star, the border program led by the state of Texas.

The flight was “providing monitoring and detecting capabilities along that sector of the border,” Maj. Ryan Wierzbicki, a spokesperson for Joint Task Force North, said by email. All three people killed had been deployed to the southwest border since October, he said, adding that no one on the ground where the helicopter crashed was injured.

The investigation is being handled by the Army’s Combat Readiness Center at Fort Novosel, Alabama, formerly called Fort Rucker. The center, which deals with all Army aviation accidents, sends investigators and subject-matter experts to what the Army categorizes as “class A accidents,” or those that result in deaths, severe injuries and property damage of at least $2 million, or ones involving destroyed or missing Army aircraft.

Jimmie Cummings, a spokesperson for the readiness center, said investigators will take measurements at the site and recover the black box. The investigation can last weeks, he added, and typically involves examining the aircraft’s maintenance records and medical and personnel records of crew members.

The aircraft was a UH-72 Lakota, Joint Task Force North said. That model has served as the Army’s light utility helicopter since 2006, according to Airbus, the manufacturer.

President Joe Biden mourned the victims in a statement on Saturday. “These brave Americans dedicated their lives to protecting our nation,” he said, adding, “Our gratitude is profound, and their sacrifice will never be forgotten.”

The crash comes amid heightened scrutiny and political tensions involving the border, federal immigration policy and Texas’ attempts to stem the number of migrant crossings.

Overall, more migrants were caught crossing the southern border in the past year than in any other year since at least 1960, when the government started keeping track of the data. There were more than 2.4 million apprehensions in the 2023 fiscal year, which ended in September, and that represented the third record-setting year in a row.

In a brief video of the scene obtained by Reuters, a smoldering heap of twisted metal is shown in an open field under an overcast sky, as what appears to be emergency workers run toward the aircraft.

The helicopter was patrolling the border and following people who were crossing into the United States illegally when it crashed, said Judge Eloy Vera, the top local official in Starr County.

Three of the people onboard were men and one was a woman, Vera said, adding that the Border Patrol agent had been stationed in Rio Grande City.

The number of people crossing into the United States from Mexico declined by 50% in January from December, which had a record nearly 250,000 people, Customs and Border Protection said. But crossings typically dip in January.

Rio Grande City is about 15 miles west of La Grulla and has a population of 14,000. The city is the largest in Starr County, which had been a frequent crossing point for migrants.

The Trump administration had constructed steel segments as a border barrier to deter and redirect unauthorized crossings. The work stopped after President Joe Biden took office, but he has since reversed course. Separately, the state of Texas has also been slowly building its own barrier.

Toyota’s hybrid-first strategy is delivering big profits

In today’s high-tech, high-stakes auto industry, fortunes can change quickly, and there’s no better example of that right now than Toyota Motor.

Not long ago, it looked as if Toyota had fallen dangerously behind in electric vehicles. Tesla, the electric car pioneer, has grown rapidly and become the world’s most valuable automaker. Seeing Tesla’s success, other companies, such as General Motors and Ford Motor, concluded that large numbers of consumers were poised to switch to batterypowered cars and trucks and began investing tens of billions of dollars to catch up.

Toyota, however, was more deliberate — or lethargic, its critics would say. It has introduced just two fully electric models in the United States so far, betting that its gaselectric hybrids and plug-in hybrid vehicles, which it has become known for, would remain popular and were sufficient to address climate change for now.

Amid all the enthusiasm for electric vehicles in the past few years, it seemed Toyota just didn’t get it.

“I was shocked when I first heard about Toyota’s strategy because I could see what Tesla was doing,” said Earl Stewart, a Toyota dealer in Lake Park, Florida, who also enjoys driving his Tesla Model S.

But in the past six months, sales of electric vehicles have slowed, and American car buyers looking to cut their fuel bills and tailpipe emissions have been flocking to hybrids. Now Toyota’s sales are booming, and the company is reporting huge profits.

“It’s not the first time Toyota has proved me wrong, and it won’t be the last, either,” Stewart said.

Toyota’s sudden strength is a reminder of how profoundly the auto industry is changing. Developing technologies including electric vehicles, advanced microchips and software are turning what was once a steady, slow-moving sector into a dynamic industry in which even fast-moving and well-run manufacturers can be knocked off course.

Toyota, a Japanese company, is the world’s largest automaker; it sold more than 11 million vehicles in 2023, more than six times as many as Tesla. The company climbed the ranks of the industry slowly over a half century, first exporting small cars to the United States, then building factories across

the South and Midwest, adding a luxury brand and expanding into the segments dominated by its Michigan-based rivals, like full-size pickup trucks.

A few times along the way, Toyota has bucked the industry’s conventional wisdom.

The introduction of its upscale Lexus brand, in 1989, seemed like a risky bet until it zoomed ahead of BMW and Mercedes-Benz in sales.

Twenty-one years ago, Toyota introduced the Prius, a small car with a compact gasoline engine and an electric motor powered by a battery.

The combination allows the Prius to go 50 or more miles on a gallon of gas, and a plug-in hybrid model can make short trips without using any gasoline.

Other automakers dismissed the car as a curiosity, but the Prius was a hit, and before long GM, Ford and others developed their own hybrids.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk scorns hybrids, saying it makes no sense to have two propulsion systems under the hood. Consumers don’t seem to care. Toyota offers more than two dozen hybrid or plug-in hybrid models, and they make up almost 30% of its sales, much higher than at most other automakers.

Last year in the U.S. market, Toyota sold 2.2 million vehicles — more than every auto-

Martinez/The

maker except GM.

In January and February, Toyota’s U.S. sales rose 20%, powered by an 83% rise in sales of its hybrids and plug-in models.

“We’re not saying EVs are not a good solution to carbon emissions,” said Jack Hollis, executive vice president of Toyota’s North American arm. “They are. They’re just not the only solution, and a lot of our customers have been telling us they want choice — hybrids, plug-ins and EVs.”

The strategy is paying off. In the ninemonth period starting last April, Toyota made $27 billion in profit, roughly double its earnings from the same period a year earlier. By comparison, Tesla’s $15 billion profit in 2023 was about 19% higher than its 2022 figure.

Investors have taken notice. The stock market now values Tesla at less than half its peak market capitalization of $1.2 trillion in November 2021 in large part because its sales are growing more slowly and the profit it makes on each car has been falling. Over the same period, Toyota’s valuation has risen by roughly a third, to about $400 billion.

Mike Ramsey, an analyst at the research firm Gartner, said Toyota’s hybrid strategy is strong and based on long-term logic, but shifts in technology or the market could undermine the company’s future performance

and standing.

“Toyota seems to swing between dullard and genius, depending on the current state of thinking about technology,” he said. “But no matter what, they still seem to sell more cars and trucks than anyone else.”

Electric vehicles have so far failed to win over many car buyers because they are generally more expensive than combustion or hybrid models even after taking into account government incentives. The challenges of charging electric vehicles, worries about range and their performance in cold weather have also caused some people to hesitate.

Hybrids don’t face many of those issues. Some hybrids cost only a few hundred dollars more than similar gasoline cars — a premium that owners can quickly recoup in fuel savings. In addition, regular hybrids never have to be plugged in.

Plug-in hybrid models, some of which can travel on just electricity for more than 40 miles and have a gasoline engine for longer trips, have much smaller batteries than electric vehicles and can be recharged relatively quickly. But these vehicles, which make up a small part of the market, may not be as beneficial financially or environmentally when driven long distances on just gasoline.

Toyota has plans to significantly increase hybrid production and sales. A hybrid version of its Tacoma pickup is rolling out. A redesigned Camry sedan, due this spring, will be available only as a hybrid.

The company will offer a range of electric vehicles, too, said Hollis, the Toyota executive. About 30 models will arrive by 2026, when Toyota hopes its U.S. electric vehicle sales will have risen to about 1.5 million vehicles a year. Last year it sold about 15,000.

In Florida, new Toyotas that arrive at Stewart’s dealership in South Florida barely hit the lot before they are sold. At the beginning of March, he had only about 150 vehicles in inventory, down from the 500 he used to carry before the pandemic.

That hasn’t deterred customers who have become accustomed to waiting months after ordering vehicles. At one point last year, he had 1,300 vehicles on order, and customers for all of them.

“I’ve been selling Toyotas since 1975, and business is better than ever,” he said. “People are lining up to buy from me.”

Battle for White House comes into sharper focus for Wall Street

Investors fixated on earnings and monetary policy are starting to factor in another variable that could sway markets this year: the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

In his State of the Union address on Thursday, U.S. President Joe Biden proposed raising corporate taxes, whereas his opponent, Republican candidate Donald Trump, signed a 2017 law that slashed taxes on companies and the wealthy. Biden also boasted of U.S. economic progress under his tenure.

It is difficult to gauge how asset prices could be swayed by these proposals and whatever else the presidential candidates may put on the table in coming months. The winner is likely to face a narrowly divided Congress that would make it difficult to push through legislative changes.

That has not stopped some strategists from assessing how the political outlook could coalesce with other factors that have been driving markets. These include excitement over the business potential of artificial intelligence and shifting expectations of how soon the Federal Reserve might ease monetary policy. The S&P 500 index is up about 7.4% year-to-date and stands near a record high.

“You get a sense (investors) ... have a lot on their plates right now, and politics is starting to come into that,” said Paul Christopher, head of global market strategy at Wells Fargo Investment Institute. “Even though everyone knows the candidates, it’s going to be a pretty close race so it’s very difficult to predict the outcome.”

Opinion polls show Biden, 81, and Trump, 77, closely matched. While the U.S. economy is performing better than most high-income countries, Americans overall give Trump better marks in polls for economic issues.

Biden on Thursday proposed to increase to 21% a 15% corporate minimum tax on companies reporting over $1 billion in profit that he won as part of 2022 clean energy legislation.

He also promised to renew his “billionaire tax” proposal, which would impose a 25% minimum tax on income for Americans with assets of more than $100 million.

However, “it’s going to be difficult for any tax policy proposal to pass by either side because it’s going to come down to party lines,” said Larry Tentarelli, chief technical strategist for Blue Chip Daily Trend Report.

Regardless of the election outcome, fiscal policy will likely be among the first items that the next administration tackles, Wells Fargo analysts wrote.

A Republican sweep would likely mean that the 2017 tax cuts would be extended at the cost of higher inflation, while a Democratic sweep would lead to higher taxes on higher-income households and corporations, the firm noted.

The S&P 500 has notched an average gain of 15.5% in years that a president has sought re-election, CFRA data going back to the end of World War II showed. That compares to an overall average annual return of 12.8% in that period.

At the same time, election years come with their share of volatility. Analysts at BofA Global Research noted earlier

MOST ASSERTIVE STOCKS

this month that, in previous election years, the Cboe Volatility Index has risen by an average of 25% from the second quarter to November.

Volatility tends to fall after election day with uncertainty removed, the firm said. The bank recently increased its target on the S&P 500 to 5,400, from 5000.

October futures on the Cboe Volatility Index - which encompass options contracts that extend until the middle of the following month - were recently trading some 2.6

points higher than the September futures, suggesting investor wariness regarding election-related market swings.

Historical trends may favor Biden as well. Since the emergence of Super Tuesday in 1976, year-to-date gains in the S&P 500 ahead of the primary have coincided with the president’s political party winning the election 80% of the time, LPL Financial data showed.

The firm noted, however, that the S&P 500 has lately been rising along with Trump’s standing in national polls.

“This economy is doing well - and we will see whether Biden gets credit for it,” said Jeff Buchbinder, chief equity strategist for LPL Financial.

The market also had to digest plenty of near-term economic data to gauge the Fed’s monetary policy trajectory.

With Haiti in chaos, a humanitarian crisis is rapidly unfolding

By FRANCES ROBLES, DAVID C. ADAMS and ANDRE PAULTRE

Dr. Ronald LaRoche has not been able to cross into dangerous territory to inspect the hospital he runs in Haiti’s Delmas 18 neighborhood since it was ransacked by gangs last week, but a TikTok video he saw offered clues to its current condition: It was on fire.

He learned from neighbors and others who dared venture into gang territory that Jude-Anne Hospital had been looted and cleared of anything of value. It was the second hospital he has had to close.

“They took everything — the operating rooms, the X-rays, everything from the labs and the pharmacies,” LaRoche said. “Imagine! They are taking windows from hospitals! Doors!”

Haiti is in the throes of an uprising not seen in decades. As politicians around the region scramble to hash out a diplomatic solution to a political crisis that has the prime minister, Ariel Henry, stranded in Puerto Rico and gangs attacking police stations, a humanitarian disaster is quickly escalating. The food supply is threatened, and access to water and health care has been severely curtailed.

André Michel, an adviser to the prime minister, said Henry has refused to resign, and has demanded that the international community take all necessary measures to ensure his return to Haiti.

The United States and Caribbean leaders have been trying to convince Henry that to continue in power is “untenable.” An international security mission led by Kenya has been stalled. The United States has offered to finance the mission but showed little interest in sending troops of its own.

While gangs expand their territory and band together in concerted attacks against the state, millions of people throughout the country are caught in the middle. Many are afraid to leave their homes for fear of getting caught in the crossfire. They are hungry. They are running out of clean water and gas. They are desperate.

“Around me, everyone is running,” said LaRoche, who packed up and closed three more medical facilities to avoid more looting. “Women, children and elderly have bags on their heads, and by foot, they are fleeing. It is a war zone.”

Gangs that in the past year have spread throughout the country joined forces last week to attack state institutions, releasing

thousands of prisoners. They are demanding the resignation of Henry, who was prevented from returning to Haiti as violence surrounded the airport and grounded all flights.

The chaos has left people to protect themselves as best they can.

“The biggest fear is stray bullets,” said Nixon Boumba, 42, a Haiti-based consultant to American Jewish World Service, an international aid and human rights organization.

Last weekend, he called the motorcycle taxi driver he uses on a regular basis to go shopping. “He told me, ‘I can’t come now. My brother was hit by a stray bullet,’” Boumba said.

The driver’s brother was struck in the stomach and is recovering at a hospital. The daughter of another friend was hit in the jaw by a bullet on the campus of the city’s main public university, he said.

Blondine Tanis, 36, a radio broadcaster who was kidnapped for ransom in July by people on her street who then sold her to another gang that held her for nine days, said the violence in Haiti was nothing like she had seen before. She compared it to the 1991 coup that led to three years of military rule, but she was a baby then.

“There are young kids in the streets with heavy automatic weapons,” she said. “They shoot people and burn their bodies with no remorse. I don’t know how to qualify that. I ask myself what happened to this generation. Are they even human?”

Tanis said she has applied to enter the United States through the Biden administration’s humanitarian parole program.

As the security situation worsens, so

does the food insecurity. Nearly 1 million of Haiti’s 11 million people are on the brink of famine, according to the U.N. About 350,000 of them are on the run, living on the streets, in tent cities or in overcrowded schools as gangs invade their neighborhoods.

Most people now only leave their homes to do essential things, like go to the bank or shop for food and water. They take advantage of a lull in the violence to buy groceries. But experts fear that stocks will soon begin to dwindle as more and more goods pile up on the docks, because transportation by road is too dangerous and gangs have seized ports.

One person described the scene at a supermarket Saturday as a “carnival,” because so many people spent hours in line to stock up on supplies. Zanmi Lasante, a health organization affiliated with Partners in Health, which has worked in Haiti for decades, said it has enough fuel to run its generators for about a week.

Doctors Without Borders had to increase its hospital bed capacity from 50 to 75 as more and more people unable to access the closed public hospital showed up with gunshot wounds. One patient arrived at 3 p.m. for treatment of a gunshot wound from that morning. He died minutes later, said Dr. James Gana, who treats patients and helps run the clinics.

Doctors Without Borders recently reopened an emergency medical clinic in the city center after it had been closed for several months because gang members had removed patients from an ambulance and then killed them in front of the organization’s staff. Blood and oxygen supplies are running low.

“We are going very soon to have shortages of everything,” said Jean-Marc Biquet, head of mission for Doctors Without Borders in Haiti. “There is no more petrol in the petrol stations. People are selling fuel in small buckets, and nobody knows where that fuel is coming from.”

With no supply of clean drinking water, there is an increased risk of cholera, he said.

Julio Loiseau, a community activist in Port-au-Prince, said that with the power out, groceries spoil quickly, when you can find them.

“To have bread, one needs to get in line very early in the morning,” he said. “The only bread factory cannot cover its demands because of supply scarcity. My supplies ran out.”

Jean-Martin Bauer, country director in Haiti for the U.N. World Food Program, noted that the financial situation for many people is especially precarious because it has been too dangerous for people to go outside to work, and many people make their money on a day-to-day basis.

“What’s going on in Haiti is a protracted episode of mass hunger,” Bauer said. “This is probably one of the causes of what’s going on. We know hunger is related to instability and is a breeding ground for conflict, a breeding ground for strife and mass migration.”

Frantz Louis, 35, a security guard who was waiting for his shift Saturday, said that like many Haitians, he feels Haiti has “completely collapsed.”

“The best solution for a young person for now is to leave the country,” he said. “If you want to stay in your country and you can’t eat and you can’t go where you want, what other choice do you have?”

Louis said he wondered what the gangs’ end game is. “Do they have an ideology?” he asked.

US military enters a new phase with Gaza aid operations

By HELENE COOPER and ERIC SCHMITT

The United States has a history of using its military to get food, water and other humanitarian relief to civilians during wars or natural disasters. The walls of the Pentagon are decorated with photographs of such operations in Haiti, Liberia, Indonesia and countless other countries.

But it is rare for the United States to try to provide such services for people who are being bombed with tacit U.S. support.

President Joe Biden’s decision to order the U.S. military to build a floating pier off the Gaza Strip that would allow aid to be delivered by sea puts American service members in a new phase of their humanitarian aid history. The same military that is sending the weapons and bombs that Israel is using in Gaza is now also sending food and water into the besieged territory.

The floating pier idea came a week after Biden authorized humanitarian airdrops for Gaza, which relief experts criticized as inadequate. Even the floating pier, aid experts say, will not do enough to alleviate the suffering in the territory, where residents are on the brink of starvation.

Nonetheless, senior Biden officials said, the United States will continue to provide Israel with the munitions it is using in Gaza, while trying to deliver humanitarian aid to Palestinians under bombardment there.

So the Pentagon is doing both.

For decades the Army Corps of Engineers, using combat engineers, has built floating docks for troops to cross rivers, unload supplies and conduct other military operations. Maj. Gen. Patrick S. Ryder, the Pentagon spokesperson, said Friday that the Army’s 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary), out

of Joint Base Langley-Eustis, near Norfolk, Virginia, would be one of the main military units involved in the construction of the floating pier for Gaza.

The dock will be built and assembled alongside an Army ship off the Gaza coast, Ryder said. The ship will need armed escorts, particularly as it gets within range of the coast, Defense Department officials said, adding that they are working through how to ensure its protection.

Ryder acknowledged that neither the airdrops nor the floating pier would be as effective as sending aid by land, which Israel has blocked. “We want to see the amount of aid going via land increase significantly,” Ryder said. “We understand that is the most viable way to get aid in.”

But, he added, “we’re not going to wait around.”

The United States will work with regional partners and European allies to build, fund and maintain the corridor, officials said, noting that the idea for the project originated in Cyprus.

On Thursday, Sigrid Kaag, the U.N. humanitarian and reconstruction coordinator for Gaza, welcomed the Biden announcement. But, speaking with reporters after briefing the Security Council, she added, “At the same time I cannot but repeat: Air and sea is not a substitute for land, and nobody says otherwise.”

The Biden humanitarian efforts in Gaza so far “may make a few people in the United States feel good,” Robert Ford, a former U.S. ambassador to Syria, said in an interview. But, he added, “this is applying a very small Band-Aid to a very big wound.”

The humanitarian aid will probably be gathered in Larnaca, Cyprus, some 210 nautical miles from Gaza, officials said. That would allow Israeli officials to screen the shipments first.

While the temporary port will initially be military-run, Washington envisions it eventually being commercially operated, the official said.

Officials did not go into detail about how aid delivered by sea would be transferred from the coast farther into Gaza. But the assistance will be distributed in part by Spanish chef José Andrés, founder of the nonprofit World Central Kitchen, which has served more than 32 million meals in Gaza.

A U.S. Army official said that typically in these operations, a large vessel sits off the shore of the desired location, and a “roll-on-roll-off discharge facility” — a big floating dock — is constructed next to the ship to serve as the holding area. Cargo driven or placed on the dock is loaded onto smaller Navy boats and moved toward a temporary pier or causeway anchored ashore.

Two diplomats briefed on the plans said the port would be erected on Gaza’s shoreline slightly north of the Wadi Gaza crossing, where Israeli forces have erected a major checkpoint.

The central problems, however, remain unsolved. Aid officials say that delivering supplies by truck is far more efficient and less expensive than bringing them to Gaza by boat. But trucks are still unable to deliver goods amid Israeli shelling and ground fighting, which is fierce in southern Gaza.

The 1,800-foot, two-lane temporary causeway is built by Army engineers, flanked by tugboats and driven, or “stabbed,” into the shore. Cargo aboard the smaller Navy boats can then be driven onto the causeway and onshore.

And delivering assistance by sea may not prevent the chaos that has accompanied deliveries.

More than 100 people in Gaza were killed last month, health officials there said, when hungry civilians rushed at a convoy of aid trucks, leading to a stampede and prompting Israeli soldiers to fire at the crowd.

Ryder insisted on Friday that the military could build the causeway and stab it into the shore without putting any American boots — or fins — on the ground in Gaza. He said it would take up to 60 days and about 1,000 U.S. troops to move the ship into place from the East Coast and to build the dock and causeway.

After the ship arrives offshore, it will take about 7-10 days to assemble the floating dock and the causeway, a Defense Department official said.

“This is part of a full-court press by the United States to not only focus on working on opening up and expanding roads via land, which of course are the optimal way to get aid into Gaza, but also by conducting airdrops,” Ryder said.

The floating pier will allow for the delivery of “upward of 2 million meals a day,” he said. The Gaza Strip has a population of about 2.3 million people.

The U.S. military has airdropped aid in the Middle East and South Asia during previous conflicts, even during wars in which the United States was directly involved.

In 2014, President Barack Obama ordered military aircraft to drop food and water to tens of thousands of Yazidis trapped on a barren mountain range in northwestern Iraq. The Yazidis, members of an ethnic and religious minority, were fleeing militants who were threatening genocide.

In 2001, President George W. Bush ordered British and American troops striking the Taliban in Afghanistan to airdrop daily rations to civilians trapped in remote areas of the country.

On Saturday morning, U.S. military cargo planes dropped emergency aid into Gaza for the fifth time in recent days. U.S. Central Command said in a statement that American C-130 aircraft had dropped bundles with parachutes containing 41,400 meals and 23,000 bottles of water.

Rains are scarce in the Amazon. Instead, megafires are raging.

By ANA IONOVA and MANUELA ANDREONI

By this time of the year, rain should be drenching large swaths of the Amazon rainforest. Instead, a punishing drought has kept the rains at bay, creating dry conditions for fires that have engulfed hundreds of square miles of the rainforest that do not usually burn.

The fires have turned the end of the dry season in the northern part of the giant rainforest into a crisis. Firefighters have struggled to contain enormous blazes that have sent choking smoke into cities across South America.

A record number of fires so far this year in the Amazon has also raised questions about what may be in store for the world’s biggest tropical rainforest when the dry season starts in June in the far larger southern part of the jungle.

Last month, Venezuela, northern Brazil, Guyana and Suriname, which encompass vast stretches of the northern Amazon, recorded the highest number of fires for any February, according to Brazil’s National Institute of Space Research, which has been tracking fires in the rainforest for 25 years. Fires also burned across Colombia’s Andes highlands, as well as parts of that country’s Amazon territory.

The fires in the Amazon, which reaches across nine South American nations, are the result of an extreme drought fueled by climate change, experts said.

The region has been feeling the effects of a natural weather phenomenon known as El Nino, which can worsen dry conditions that were intensified this year by extremely high temperatures.

That has made the rainforest more vulnerable to fast-spreading blazes, said Ane Alencar, the science director at the Amazon Environmental Research Institute in Brazil.

“The climate is leaving forests in South America more flammable,” she said. “It’s creating opportunities for wildfires.”

As countries continue to burn fossil fuels and the planet reaches the highest average temperatures measured by scientists, a grueling year of fires is expected around the world. Severe blazes have already ravaged large parts of the United States and Australia, and a worse season is forecast for Canada, where more acres burned last year than had ever been recorded.

Another year of devastating fires could be especially damaging in the Amazon, which stores vast quantities of carbon di-

oxide in its trees and soil. It is also home to 10% of the planet’s plants, animals and other living organisms.

If deforestation, fires and climate change continue to worsen, large stretches of the forest could transform into grasslands or weakened ecosystems in the coming decades. That, scientists say, would trigger a collapse that could send up to 20 years’ worth of global carbon emissions into the atmosphere, an enormous blow to the struggle to contain climate change.

Once this tipping point is crossed, “it may be useless to try to do something,” said Bernardo Flores, who studies the resilience of ecosystems at the Federal University of Santa Catarina in Brazil.

In January, wildfires burned almost 4,000 square miles of the Brazilian Amazon, an almost fourfold increase from the same month last year, according to Mapbiomas, a collective of climate-focused nonprofit organizations and research institutions.

In February, more than two-thirds of the fires in Brazil have occurred in Roraima, the country’s northernmost state.

zon, said Erika Berenguer, a senior research associate at the University of Oxford and at Lancaster University.

This ecosystem, known for its wideopen grasslands and a rare population of wild horses, overlaps with several protected areas, including the Yanomami Indigenous reserve, where illegal mining and forest destruction have led to a humanitarian crisis.

After months of scarce rains, dense rainforest that is typically too humid to catch fire has also become more susceptible to flames.

In Roraima, the fires have now spread to protected forests and Indigenous lands in the southern region of the state, according to Haron Xaud, a professor at the Federal University of Roraima and a researcher at Embrapa Roraima, an institute monitoring the fires.

While fires are common in drier boreal forests in Canada and other parts of the Northern Hemisphere, they do not naturally occur in the much-wetter Amazon rainforest. Tropical forests are not adapted to fires, Xaud said, “and degrade much faster, especially if the fire becomes recurrent.”

They have burned homes and subsistence crops in several Indigenous villages, leaving a thick haze over rural areas and creating hazardous air quality in the state’s capital, Boa Vista.

As a result of the prolonged drought, the vegetation in this part of the Amazon has become “combustible,” Alencar explained. “Roraima is like a barrel of gunpowder right now.”

Researchers say that most of the fires sweeping through the region were initially set by farmers using the “slash and burn” method to allow new grass to grow on degraded pastures or to fully clear recently deforested land.

Fueled by the dry conditions and searing temperatures, many of these fires burn out of control, spreading miles beyond the area that was originally set ablaze.

“Fires are contagious,” Flores said. “They modify the ecosystem they pass through and increase the risk for neighboring areas like a virus.”

In Roraima, the blazes have mostly burned areas within the Lavrado, a unique savannalike region nestled within the Ama-

Some of the wildfires started by humans in the Amazon have grown into “megafires,” typically defined as blazes that burn more than 100,000 acres of land or that have an unusually significant effect on people and the environment. These kinds of fires, Flores said, will become more frequent as the planet warms and deforestation damages the Amazon’s ability to recover.

Environmental factors are already changing the Amazon. Dry seasons are becoming longer, and average rainfall during those periods, when rains diminish but do not stop altogether, has already dropped by one-third since the 1970s, Berenguer said. That has made El Ninos increasingly dangerous.

“When you have all of these factors together, you have the conditions for a perfect storm — the perfect firestorm, that is,” Berenguer said.

The fires in the Amazon region have had a striking effect on carbon emissions. In February, wildfires in Brazil and Venezuela emitted almost 10 million tons of carbon, the most ever recorded for the month and about as much as Switzerland emits in a year, according to data from Europe’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service.

“The question is whether the forest can recover before the dry season, whether the Amazon can recharge its batteries,” Alencar said. “Now it all depends on the rains.”

By DAVID BROOKS

I’ve been crisscrossing the country almost constantly over the last five months. When I ask people about politics, the feeling I hear most often is exhaustion. People are just tired out from the endless national crises, their dread of the 2024 presidential campaign, the ugliness of it all. Many people I talk with seem passive, discouraged and are trying, mostly in vain, to shut out the political noise. It’s almost as if people have been so beaten down by the last decade, they’ve lost the selfconfidence to wish for more.

In these circumstances, I turn to two leaders who knew something about projecting hope in exhausting times: Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt. They offered two very different versions of national self-confidence.

Churchill’s strongest sense was his romantic attachment to Britain’s past. At a time when it was fashionable to scorn the pompous Victorians and dismiss the ancient grandees like the first Duke of Marlborough, Churchill believed in the whole pageant of British history with the enthusiasm of a schoolboy. In the stentorian 18th-century cadences of historian Edward Gibbon and essayist Samuel Johnson, he painted a heroic portrait of that nation of shopkeepers and saw Britain’s current troubles in light of its glorious past.

In 1940, his romantic vision gave moral shape to contemporary terrors. Under his guidance, the British people came to see themselves as the phlegmatic and resolute defenders of their island home, the latest in a great line of underdog warriors. His invocations of their common past

united a class-riven nation.

His confidence was not of the plucky, upbeat type. He offered instead blood, toil, tears and sweat. Like many pastminded people, his sensibility was tragic, aware that history is a procession of depravity, conflict and war, and that no generation is spared its traumas. But his historical frame of mind did give him an unshakable sense of who Britons were and what Britons must do.

He was not built to be a bobber and weaver, to shimmy in tune with passing trends. His confidence had a defensive but stalwart nature — to stick oneself down, to never waver, to be willing to fight on forever and ever, to project a rocklike firmness that turned out to be contagious. In a magnificent 1949 essay on Churchill, Isaiah Berlin noticed that Churchill idealized his fellow Brits with such intensity that he lifted “a large number of inhabitants of the British Isles out of their normal selves and, by dramatizing their lives and making them seem to themselves and to each other clad in the fabulous garments appropriate to a great historic moment, transformed cowards into brave men, and so fulfilled the purpose of shining armor.”

I see an American analogue to Churchill’s historic sensibility in Abraham Lincoln’s rhetoric during the Civil War: “Our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” And I can imagine a contemporary American leader putting our current crises in the frame of the constant and similar crises of our own national past — the populists versus the coasts, the struggles for racial justice, America’s unasked-for role as leader of the free world. I can imagine a contemporary leader with a similarly weathered but undaunted confidence in our institutions and our ideas, a leader with an acute awareness of our own national identity — the nation of the future; the beacon of democracy; the nation that, with its unbounded dynamism and immigrant drive, manages to overcome the recurring tumult caused by its own idiocy and iniquity, and in the end energizes the world.

The second very different model of confidence was projected by Churchill’s great friend FDR. Berlin wrote that Roosevelt stood out for “his astonishing appetite for life and by his apparently complete freedom from fear of the future; as a man who welcomed the future eagerly as such, and conveyed the feeling that whatever the times might bring all would be grist to his mill.”

Roosevelt looked forward with such optimism, such an assumption of abundance, such a faith in progress that he saw present difficulties as stumbles on the path to the sunlit uplands to come.

While Churchill’s political gift was steadfastness, Roosevelt’s was nimble dexterity. He relished improvisation, trying multiple things at once even if they did not fit together. His untroubled confidence in his own and his nation’s power rested upon an exceptionally sensitive awareness, conscious and unconscious, of his own milieu, his intuitive anticipation of how public opinion would flow, how events would unfold.

It’s as if he had antennae that could feel the minutest vibrations across the political world.

Berlin writes, “This feeling of being at home not merely in the present but in the future, of knowing where he was going and by what means and why, made him, until his health was finally undermined, buoyant and gay; made him delight in the company of the most varied and opposed individuals.” In Roosevelt’s self-confident vision, a nation enduring depression and then war was nonetheless illuminated by the brilliance of its future days. He never lost that faith.

You may doubt it in these gloomy years, but I think even today’s America could produce a leader of FDR’s buoyancy. We have by far the strongest large economy on earth. We have by far the most innovative technical centers, the greatest centers of learning and the mental and spiritual resources brought by millions of striving immigrants. We have more talent in America today than ever before. We need somebody who can name those strengths and connect them to our children’s future.

We’re floating upon a pessimism bubble. The underlying realities do not justify the bearish mood that Donald Trump feeds and then feeds off of. We need a leader who can counteract Trump’s sour and grievance-ridden patriotism with a vaster and more generous patriotism, drawing on the glorious inheritance left by our ancestors and lured by FDR’s buoyant faith in what’s to come.

The Panama Canal redrew the world’s map. A novel explores the lives it changed.

By CELIA McGEE

As far back as Cristina Henríquez can remember, there has always been the Panama Canal. She visited it every summer on family trips. Later it became standard fare she studied in high school: the engineering feat connecting two oceans, a formative adventure in American expansionism, an early notch on Teddy Roosevelt’s belt.

The questions, however, didn’t occur to her until she was older: Whose lives, and deaths, lay behind a project so massive it redefined countries and redrew the world’s map?

“I grew up going to the canal, but I didn’t know what I was seeing,” Henríquez said. “I understood that it was the most salient association most people have with Panama, but I wanted to go inside it, in a different way.”

Her new novel “The Great Divide,” shifts the focus to those uprooted, displaced and also enticed by the shipload with advertisements like the one she found to open the book, out March 5. “2-year contract,” it reads. And, “Free lodging and medical care.” “Work in paradise!”

That there was work was true. That it would be paradise was not, at least not for those who hacked, blasted, shoveled, dredged and carved 51 miles through mud, rock, jungle, cyclic violence, the miasma of deadly insect-borne disease and a piece of the Continental Divide.

Henríquez lives outside of Chicago, but on a recent visit to New York she stood, head craned back, in the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Hall at the American Museum of Natural History. She was scanning “The Building of the Panama Canal,” a monumental mural painted in the 1930s and an official version of the past, bursting with allegory, symbolism and clusters of historical figures. It celebrates the deal Roosevelt’s government struck with a newly independent Republic of Panama in 1903: In exchange for $10 million and an annual payment of $250,000, the United States won the right to establish the Canal Zone, a sovereign territory that stretched 5-miles-wide on either bank.

“It’s amazing how it tells history,” Henríquez said. “But what interested me was the humanity.”

Henríquez has spent much of her career placing figures where before there were none. Thanks to her father’s roots in Panama, her fiction — starting with her 2006 debut collection “Come Together, Fall Apart”— has inflected American writing with stories set there, as well as telling those of immigrants hoping

for a bid at the American dream.

Her last novel, “The Book of Unknown Americans,” published in 2014, centered on an urban Delaware apartment building where a Panamanian family (and the trials of immigration) play a vital part. Her 2009 novel, “The World in Half,” about a young American who goes in search of the Panamanian father she’s never met, continued the theme of dividedness that runs through her work as inexorably as the geographical similes she uses for the shifting tectonic plates of human relationships.

Communications are severed, voices left unheard, understanding breaks down — between parents and children, husbands and wives, lovers and lovers, and above all, wary Americans and hopeful newcomers, those rich in resources and those robbed of them. This positions her, said critic Oscar Villalon, in the company of such authors as Edwidge Danticat, Junot Díaz and Francisco Goldman, “who write about places inextricably tied to American history, giving us a better understanding of what that history really is.”

But until “The Great Divide,” Henríquez hadn’t really tackled history any earlier than her memory

could carry her.

The 1980s — and in particular the final days of Panamanian strongman Manuel Antonio Noriega — darkened her writing with marauding military gangs known as Dignity Battalions and citizens forced to eat toothpaste rather than starve, as American warships readying to invade clouded the horizon.

“I remember how tense phone calls with my relatives in Panama were during the Noriega years,” she said. Her grandfather Pantaleón Henríquez Bernal had been a prominent figure in Panamanian politics, a journalist and a well-known writer whose short story collection “Cuentos de acá y de allá (Tales from Here and There)” became a staple of Panamanian fiction.

A young Henríquez was entranced by the room where her grandfather wrote on the second floor of a house overlooking Panama Bay, while downstairs her grandmother prepared food for anyone who might stop by. The locale inspired the opening scene of “The Great Divide.”

“I didn’t speak Spanish as a kid,” said Henríquez, who would finally study it in college, at Northwestern University. “So I was always watching. All that time just observing was part of why I became a writer. I would fill in the blanks for myself, which is what fiction writing is, isn’t it?”

But writing historical fiction meant more: delving into the fault lines of incident, tracing networks of railroads and mosquito types, learning the particulars of a fishing reel, a cooking skillet, a dance step or a new world order secretly bankrolled by Wall Street.

“The Great Divide” took Henríquez 10 years to complete. She read voluminously on the subject. A classic like David McCullough’s “The Path Between the Seas,” which includes the spectacular French failure that preceded the American venture, “is unmatched in its exploration of the historical and political forces that were at play,” she said. “But I was always looking for more.”

She never knew whom she would encounter along the way, but “Everyone,” she wrote in a notebook she kept close as she worked on the novel, “must have a heartbeat.”

A majority of the canal’s workforce was AfroCaribbean, primarily recruited from Barbados and its decimated sugar cane economy. Henríquez started the novel, she said, with just two characters. Ada is a young Barbadian stowaway intent on earning money to send home to her ailing sister, and Omar is a fisherman’s son who takes a job on the canal in defiance of his father and their way of life.

From there Henríquez fanned out into an interconnected panorama she keeps rich in back stories — about Omar’s father adrift in regrets; a fishmonger’s wife facing the loss of her ancestral village; an unhappily married young American couple embedded in the effort to eradicate malaria; a gifted seer wrapped in magical realism; a Jamaican John Henry figure; and the white crew boss he squares off against.

The novel braids in events actual and imagined as earth is moved toward the final irony that the canal and its system of locks, ostensibly aimed at promoting peace among nations, was finished the same year as the outbreak of World War I.

Yet the novel remains at all times intensely personal, said Lan Samantha Chang, the director of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, who taught Henríquez as a student there. “For very talented writers the exploration into their craft is more than learning technique,” Chang said. “It has to do with such questions as ‘Where do I come from? What is the nature of my background?’ Before she came to Iowa, the fiction Cristina wrote was primarily set in the U.S.”

That changed after Henríquez came across a used copy of Sandra Cisneros’ “The House on Mango Street” and its sketches of immigrant life in a secondhand bookstore. It awakened in her a Latina identity and encouraged her to interpret historical

occurrences through her own fictional language and sense of place. (Noting the bond between the two writers, Jenna Bush Hager made “The Great Divide” and the 25th-anniversary edition of “The House on Mango Street” a joint pick for her March book club.)

Surprises kept toppling off history’s shelf. The most shocking, Henríquez said, was “how rigid and pervasive segregation was.” In a system that hewed most closely to the institutionalized racism of the American South, the Black labor force and its sprinkling of Latin American and Mediterranean laborers was strictly separated from the white world — paid in silver and known as “the silver people,” while white Americans and Europeans, or “the gold people,” were paid in gold.

There were separate commissaries, medical facilities, places of worship and housing: the “gold people” occupying higher ground in airy homes screened against the tropical climate’s ills, the “silver people” in shanties or abandoned rail cars. Lines drawn like this would reverberate for Henríquez’s modern-day immigrants, sometimes with deadly consequences.

This past summer Henríquez, with her family, took a boat the length of the canal for the first time. Long accustomed to viewing it from the visitor’s center at the Miraflores Locks, in Panama City, she was moved by the different perspective.

“On the boat you’re only inches away from the concrete on either side,” she said. “It’s incredible to know who poured it.”

Odysseus moon lander heads into a cold lunar slumber

By KENNETH CHANG

Soon it will be time to say, “Good night, moon lander.”

On Feb. 22, Odysseus, a privately built robotic lunar lander, became the first U.S. spacecraft to set down on the moon in more than 50 years, and the first nongovernmental effort ever to accomplish that feat.

But like the Homeric Greek hero it was named after, the lander has not had an easy journey with a neat, happy ending. The spacecraft encountered a series of nearcalamitous challenges, almost lost its way, then landed crookedly.

During a news conference, Intuitive Machines, the Houston-based company that built Odysseus, said the spacecraft continued to operate, but that it would be put into a planned shutdown within a few hours.

Despite everything that did not work quite right, Steve Altemus, the chief executive of Intuitive Machines, called the mission “an unqualified success.”

Odysseus achieved its main objective, Altemus said, which was “to touch down softly on the surface of the moon, softly and safely, and return scientific data to our customers.”

Engineers toiled over the weekend, trying to speed up the communications with Odysseus and retrieve data.

The timeline for how long the mission might last shifted several times.

Originally, it was to last nine or 10 days, until the sun set on the solar-powered spacecraft. But with Odysseus lying at an angle, its solar panels were not in the ideal orientation to collect sunlight and generate power.

The company suggested earlier this week that dwindling power might end lander operations on Tuesday. Then, on Tuesday, it said the vehicle could hang on for as long as 20 additional hours. Wednesday’s announcement added a few more.

“Odie will sleep after that,” Altemus said, using the lander’s nickname.

On Wednesday, the story of how Odysseus got to the ground without crashing into pieces became even more incredible.

Intuitive Machines had already dis-

In an undated image provided by Intuitive Machines, via NASA TV, a new view of the Odysseus lander during the final moments of its landing on the moon on Thursday, Feb. 22, 2024. The commercial spacecraft’s builder, Intuitive Machines, released new images from the moon’s surface as the company described plans to try to wake it up in two to three weeks. (Intuitive Machines, via NASA TV via The New York Times)

closed that the laser instrument on Odysseus for measuring its altitude during descent was not working. Safety mechanisms to prevent the lasers from firing accidentally on Earth had never been removed.

In the hours before landing, engineers hurriedly rewrote guidance software on Odysseus to use altitude readings from a more advanced but still experimental laser device that NASA was testing on this flight.

But the programmers overlooked one spot in the software that needed to be updated, and the spacecraft’s computer ignored the altitude data. Thus, during the landing descent, Odysseus did not know precisely how high above the moon’s surface it was. However, it was able to make guesses of its altitude based on its horizontal speed calculated from camera images and measurements of accelerations in the spacecraft’s velocity.

“It’s the first time anybody’s flown this algorithm, and it exceeded expectations, because we lived to tell about it,” Altemus said.

Last Thursday, it was not immediately evident that Odysseus had arrived in working order.

For several anxious minutes after the time of landing passed, flight controllers at

Intuitive Machines waited for a radio signal from the lander to confirm that it had reached its destination in the moon’s south pole region. When the signal was detected, it was faint, indicating that the spacecraft’s antennas were pointing away from Earth.

The next day, Intuitive Machines officials disclosed that Odysseus had toppled over after hitting the ground harder than planned. Instead of making a perfectly vertical landing, Odysseus had still been moving sideways as it touched down.

Altemus showed a photograph taken at the moment of landing.

“This is a picture of Odie on the surface of the moon, touching down with its engine firing,” he said. “You see here, the landing gear, pieces broken off there on the left of the image.”

Intuitive Machines was never able to fully overcome the communications slowdown caused by the misdirected antennas, and NASA, which paid Intuitive Machines $118 million to take six instruments to the surface of the moon, did not gather as much scientific data as it had hoped. But the mission was not a total loss.

Tim Crain, the chief technology officer at Intuitive Machines, said Odysseus had sent back 350 megabytes of science and engineering data.

Crain also described other glitches suffered by Odysseus, including a startracker that initially failed to track stars and an engine that appeared to be unbalanced, as well as arriving at the moon in the wrong orbit. Each time, Intuitive Machines engineers found workarounds.

For NASA, the partial success provided some validation for its strategy of relying on entrepreneurial companies to deliver its instruments, rather than building and operating the spacecraft itself.

“We now have that evidence” that such missions can work, said Joel Kearns, the deputy associate administrator for exploration in NASA’s science mission directorate.

Odysseus might wake up in a few weeks when the sun rises again. Crain said it was likely the solar panels would still be able to generate power, but the rest of Odysseus may not make it through the two weeks of lunar night when temperatures drop to about minus 250 degrees Fahrenheit.

“The No. 1 limiter we face is the batteries,” Crain said. “That chemistry does not respond well to deep cold.”

The batteries, computer and radios on Odysseus were not tested to determine if they would still work after a long chill.

But they might. A Japanese lunar lander, also solar-powered, revived over the weekend after it made it through lunar night.

How red wine lost its health halo

By ALICE CALLAHAN

In a 1991 segment of “60 Minutes,” CBS correspondent Morley Safer asked how it could be that the French enjoyed highfat foods like pâté, butter and triple crème brie yet had lower rates of heart disease than people in the United States.

“The answer to the riddle, the explanation of the paradox, may lie in this inviting glass,” Safer said, raising a glass of red wine to viewers.

Doctors believed that wine had “a flushing effect” that prevented blood clot-forming cells from clinging to artery walls, Safer said. This, according to a French researcher who was featured in the segment, could reduce the risk of a blockage and, therefore, the risk of a heart attack.

At the time, several studies had supported this idea, said Tim Stockwell, an epidemiologist at the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research. And researchers were finding that the Mediterranean diet, which has traditionally encouraged a glass or two of red wine with meals, was a heart-healthy way of eating, he added.

But it wasn’t until the “60 Minutes” segment that the idea of red wine as a virtuous health drink went “viral,” he said. Within a year after the show aired, red wine sales in the United States jumped 40%.

It would take decades for the glow of wine’s health halo to fade.

How our understanding of alcohol and health has evolved.

The possibility that a glass or two of red wine could benefit the heart was “a lovely idea” that researchers “embraced,” Stockwell said. It fit in with the larger body of evidence in the 1990s that linked alcohol to good health.

In one 1997 study that tracked 490,000 adults in the United States for nine years, for example, researchers found that those who reported having at least one alcoholic drink per day were 30% to 40% less likely to die from cardiovascular disease than those who didn’t drink. They were also about 20% less likely to die from any cause.

By the year 2000, hundreds of studies had reached similar conclusions, Stockwell said. “I thought the science was in,” he said.

But some researchers had been pointing out problems with these kinds of studies since the 1980s, and questioning if the alcohol was responsible for the benefits they saw.

Perhaps moderate drinkers were healthier than nondrinkers, they said, because they were more likely to be educated, wealthy and physically active, and more likely to have health insurance and eat more vegetables. Or maybe, these researchers added, it was

because many of the “nondrinkers” in the studies were actually ex-drinkers who had quit because they had developed health issues.

Kaye Middleton Fillmore, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, was among those urging more scrutiny of the research.

“It is incumbent on the scientific community to assess this evidence carefully,” she wrote in an editorial published in 2000.

In 2001, Fillmore persuaded Stockwell and other scientists to help her sift through the previous studies and reanalyze them in ways that could account for some of these biases.

“I’ll work with you on this,” Stockwell remembered telling Fillmore, who died in 2013. But “I was really skeptical of the whole thing,” he said.

As it turned out, the team found a surprising result: In their new analysis, the previously observed benefits of moderate drinking had vanished. Their findings, published in 2006, made headlines for contradicting the prevailing wisdom: “Study Puts a Cork in Belief That a Little Wine Helps the Heart,” The Los Angeles Times reported.

one patients might have heard from their doctors for years, Cho acknowledged. But the consensus has shifted.

No amount of alcohol is safe, the WHO and other health agencies have said, regardless of whether you’re drinking wine, beer or liquor.

So is wine out?

When counseling her cancer patients, Jennifer L. Hay, a behavioral scientist and health psychologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, said that many are “absolutely shocked” to learn that alcohol, including wine, is a carcinogen.

In a 2023 study, researchers surveyed nearly 4,000 U.S. adults and found that only 20% were aware that wine could cause cancer — compared with 25% who knew that beer could, and 31% who knew that liquor could.

Cho’s cardiology patients are often surprised when she suggests that they should cut back on alcohol, including wine.

“They’re like, ‘What? I thought it was supposed to protect against heart disease,’” she said.

Red wine does contain compounds called polyphenols, some of which can have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

“It upset an awful lot of people,” Stockwell said. “The alcohol industry took huge steps and spent a lot of money to counteract this rather awkward message that was coming out.” Within months, an industryfunded group had organized a symposium to debate the research, and invited Fillmore.

In notes Stockwell saved, Fillmore wrote that the discussion was “hot and heavy, such that I felt like I needed to get my shoe off, banging it on the table.”

And when two conference organizers published a summary of the symposium that said that “the consensus of the conference” was that moderate alcohol consumption was associated with better health, Stockwell said Fillmore “was furious” that her views weren’t represented.

Since then, many more studies, including one Stockwell and his colleagues published in 2023, have confirmed that alcohol is not the health drink it was once believed to be.

In 2022, researchers reported graver news: Not only was there no cardiovascular benefit to drinking alcohol, it could even increase the risk of heart issues, said Dr. Leslie Cho, a cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic.

Today, more and more research shows that even one drink per day can increase your chances of developing conditions like high blood pressure and an irregular heart rhythm, both of which can lead to stroke, heart failure or other health consequences, she said.

And alcohol’s links to cancer are clear — something the World Health Organization has been stating since 1988.

That’s a very different message from the

But no studies, including decades of research on one polyphenol called resveratrol, have definitively linked the amounts that you get from red wine to good health, Cho said. And there’s no good evidence that wine is less harmful than other types of alcohol, she added.

“That can be really hard to hear,” Hay acknowledged. Whenever she tells people that she studies the risks of alcohol, “a pall falls over the room,” she said.

Hay and other researchers are not suggesting a “prohibition” on alcohol. She just wants people to be informed about the risks.

And for most people, it’s fine to enjoy a glass of wine every now and then, Cho said.

But it doesn’t help your heart, she said. “It’s just time to let go of that belief.”

By CHRISTINE CHUNG

As most air travelers can attest, the experience at an airport’s security checkpoint can be far from serene. There are many rules — often shouted by Transportation Security Administration officers — about what you can bring with you, how to array your belongings and where to stand. Lines can be painfully long and anxieties sky high. And throughout the process, there are security officers.

But at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, a new kind of security screening, unveiled by the TSA on Wednesday, is led by the passenger themselves.

The system, which uses video monitors, facial recognition software and body scanners, is not about shaving time off the travel journey, but about improving the overall passenger experience, said Christina Peach, a deputy assistant administrator for requirements and capabilities at the TSA.

“Individuals want to be able to complete the screening process at their own pace and with minimal interaction with our officers,” she said.

The new pilot program officially opens to the public Monday. Here’s what to know.

Where is it and who can use it?

The self-service screening process, which is only available for travelers with TSA PreCheck clearance, will be available at two security lanes within the “Innovation Checkpoint” at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. (The airport tests emerging technologies and new processes at six “Innova-

tion Checkpoint” lanes.)

Traditional security screening will continue to be available for passengers.

How does the screening work?

As a traveler approaches the security lanes, a screen will display instructions about how to arrange personal belongings in bins and what possessions to remove (electronics and belts, for example). With a camera feature on a small tablet, facial recognition technology will be used first to verify your identity.

Then, you’ll go to a divestment station, the area by the conveyor belt where you drop

your belongings and put them in a bin. There are two stations per lane, allowing two passengers to use the lane simultaneously. Video monitors at each station will play step-by-step instructions. The aim is to get one bin per passenger, Peach said.

You’ll push your bin to the conveyor belt, which then moves the bin to be scanned. After this, you will step through a body scanner that resembles a glass box.

If a bin is flagged, it is routed down a different path and a TSA officer will conduct a search.

Once you collect your bag, you can

leave the empty bin and it will move automatically back to the stack.

Will TSA officers be nearby?

TSA personnel will still be on hand, but not as many of them will be manning the screening lanes. On any given day, there are usually between 10-15 officers working at the Innovation Checkpoint’s six lanes, Peach said.

Now, some can be remote. Passengers who need extra help can push a button to speak to an officer by video monitor, and officers will still handle security pat-downs and extra bag checks.

How long does the screening take?

It will vary, based on the individual passenger’s pace, Peach said.

When does the pilot end? Will it move to other airports?

The initial pilot is expected to run for several months. Peach stressed that it’s a prototype and that the agency will be collecting data and passenger feedback.

Some elements of the system, however, may eventually trickle out to checkpoints across the country, she said.

Will the future of security screening be one without any TSA officers physically present?

TSA officers will always be working at security checkpoints, Peach said, either standing by the passengers or working in remote screening locations.

“The officers are their most valuable assets,” she said of the government agency. “It really is having the officer as a part of the system, even if they’re maybe not as visible.”

Chris Mortensen, ESPN’s longtime NFL insider, dies at 72

By RICHARD SANDOMIR

Chris Mortensen, an award-winning sports writer who pioneered the role of the NFL insider, reporting omnivorously for various ESPN programs on trades, the draft, free-agent signings, injuries, retirements and scandals, died Sunday in Birmingham, Alabama. He was 72.

His death, at the home of his son, Alex, was announced by ESPN, which did not give a cause. In 2016, Mortensen underwent treatment for Stage 4 throat cancer. He lived in Bella Vista, Arkansas, in the northwest corner of the state.

Until he stepped away from the network last year, Mort, as he was known, dispensed news on programs such as “SportsCenter,” “Sunday NFL Countdown” and “Monday NFL Countdown,” as well as on ESPN Radio.

He was not sports journalism’s first NFL insider. Will McDonough probably had that distinction, writing authoritatively for The Boston Globe and appearing on NFL pregame shows on CBS and NBC. Mortensen was followed by a raft of rivals including Peter King, at Sports Illustrated and then NBC; Jay Glazer, at Fox Sports; Mike Florio, at Pro Football Talk; and Adam Schefter, at the NFL Network.

In 2009, Schefter became Mortensen’s partner at ESPN in reporting league news.

“When we were interviewing Adam Schefter, his biggest promoter at ESPN was Chris Mortensen,” John Walsh, a former executive editor at ESPN, said in a phone interview Monday. Mortensen did not see Schefter as his potential replacement or as a threat, Walsh added.

“Mort was the quintessential team player,” he said.

King recalled how he admired Mortensen’s prescient decision in the mid-1990s to visit the fledgling Manning Passing Academy, which was started by Archie Manning, a former New Orleans Saints quarterback, before his sons Peyton and

Eli entered the NFL. The summer camp is for youths in grades 8-12.

“Every great future college quarterback went there, and year after year Mort was there on the ground floor,” King said. “Our job was to know all the quarterbacks and get them to tell us things. Mort knew every quarterback from high school on. He was very smart about relationships.”

Mortensen and Schefter broke the news that Peyton Manning was signing with the Denver Broncos in 2012 after 13 seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. Four years later, early in his grueling monthslong cancer treatment, a hospitalized Mortensen received a call from Manning saying that he was going to announce his retirement.

Writing for Sports Illustrated in 2017, King, who retired last week, recounted the conversation between the player and the ailing journalist.

“Do you want to report it?,” Manning asked.

“I think I would,” Mortensen replied. “It’d make me feel normal again.”

In 2016, Mortensen received the Dick McCann Award (now Bill Nunn Award) from the Professional Football Writers of America for distinguished coverage of the game. He received the award at the Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony.

One of his biggest stories turned out to be erroneous. In early 2015, after the AFC championship game between the Colts and New England Patriots, he posted a tweet and an online article reporting that the NFL was investigating the Patriots for underinflating 11 of the 12 game balls by 2 pounds per square inch.

uncorrected for six months, even after a league investigation showed that only one ball had been underinflated by as much as 2 pounds psi. (He stuck with his claim that 11 balls had been involved.) Then he deleted the tweet and the article.

He later acknowledged that the deletions were a mistake.

Mortensen received a lot of criticism, some of it from Patriots fans, for his reporting in what came to be known as “Deflategate.” The league investigation led to, among other things, the suspension in 2015 of New England’s quarterback, Tom Brady, for four regular-season games without pay for not fully cooperating with the probe; a federal judge reversed the penalty.

Mortensen was less concerned about the criticism than he was about the death threats he received. “Even after I got cancer, I got some death wishes,” he told The Ringer, a sports and pop culture website and podcasting network, in 2016.

Christian Anthony Mortensen was born Nov. 7, 1951, in Torrance, California. He attended El Camino College, a twoyear school, starting in 1969. During that year, he was hired to write about sports for The Daily Breeze, also in Torrance.

He stayed there until 1983, when he moved to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, where he covered the MLB’s Atlanta Braves and the Atlanta Falcons and the NFL more broadly.

In 1987, he won a George Polk Award, one of journalism’s top prizes, for a year of investigative reporting on a scandal involving agents in college sports. He was the first sports writer to win a Polk since Red Smith received that honor in 1950.

Mortensen left the Journal-Constitution in 1989 to join The National Sports Daily, where he worked for about two years as a reporter and a columnist before the publication went out of business in 1991. He also spent time in 1990 as a reporter on the CBS Sports pregame show “The NFL Today” after McDonough left for NBC.

Mortensen joined ESPN in 1991, a time when the network was becoming increasingly reliant on NFL news and programming. He became one of ESPN’s signature reporters, showing up on network broadcasts throughout the week with nuggets of news that showed how deeply he was wired into team and league decision-makers.

Seth Markman, ESPN’s vice president and executive producer of the network’s NFL and college football coverage, said in an interview that Mortensen changed direction after returning to work from his cancer treatments.

“He focused on bigger things, the bigger picture, more context, more about why decisions were made,” Markman said. “He was still very much our conscience, and Adam and I leaned on him so much: Should we report this? Is this fair?”

Markman added that Mortensen sometimes had difficulty speaking on TV after his cancer diagnosis.

“He struggled making saliva,” Markman said. “He said, ‘You have to help me. If I get to the point where I’m being incoherent, pull me off.’ He never got to that point.”

He later clarified in a follow-up report by saying that the balls had been merely “significantly underinflated” but not necessarily by 2 pounds psi. (An underinflated ball is an easier throw.)

But Mortensen left the original tweet and online story

But after the NFL draft last year, Markman added, “he reached out.”

“He thought it was time to walk away.”

In addition to his son, Alex, offensive coordinator of the football team at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Mortensen’s survivors include his wife, Micki.

Aries (Mar 21-April 20)

Let today serve as a reminder of the importance of love, Aries. Don’t just think of it as a commodity you fight for and conquer with conniving tricks and strategic dating tactics. Realize that love is evident in how you see the world; it’s a seed in you. The more you see love in the people around you, even in the heart of a stranger, the more you’ll be blessed with its radiant light.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

You may be feeling a strong sense of guilt now because of something you did in an effort to feed your ego, Taurus. Be aware of how your actions have affected others and apologize. Guilt is basically a useless emotion that you should get rid of as quickly as possible. Don’t let this feeling keep you from opening up your heart to restore it to its original innocence.

Cancer (June 22-July 23)

Why keep fighting a fight that you know you can’t win, Cancer? Why keep trying to fool yourself and others into thinking that you have all the answers when you’re only aware of the tip of the iceberg? The mass of knowledge lies well beneath the surface. Instead of fighting, offer to surrender. At this point, others will be much more willing to quench your thirst for truth. The key for you is to listen.

Leo (July 24-Aug 23)

Anger is apt to stir inside you today, Leo, so beware of any actions that might manifest as a result of this powerful feeling. Do what you can to find the deep source of this anger. If it’s an obvious injustice, see the situation as an opportunity for change, and work to reform the policy that led to this breach of fairness and equality.

Virgo (Aug 24-Sep 23)

Show some gratitude to the people around you today, Virgo. The seat of your personality is very strong at this time, and you’re confident to your core. Mix this feeling with the service-oriented sensitivity of the day that asks us to do things for others. Keep in mind that a gesture as simple as a smile and word of appreciation can be healing for another person - and you.

Libra (Sep 24-Oct 23)

Think of today as a restorative time for yourself in which you can come to a point of greater ease and comfort, Libra. Trust yourself and the people around you. Open your eyes to the reality of the situation at hand. If you’re currently working through some major life changes, have faith that whatever happens will work out to your benefit.

Scorpio (Oct 24-Nov 22)

You may find yourself gravitating toward solid, grounded things, Scorpio, in hopes that these will provide you with the stability that you lack. A key word for you today is patience. Learn how to wait without becoming restless or grumpy. What you will discover after a while is that the stability you seek is actually sitting right there inside of you, and has been all along.

Sagittarius (Nov 23-Dec 21)

Try to come to a place of serenity today in which you free yourself from desire and jealousy, Sagittarius. It’s important that you take time to recognize the incredible growth that can spring from this position of calm and pure satisfaction. Rid yourself of the excess baggage that you cling to as some sort of support or means of comfort. The less you carry, the more you free up your arms to create.

Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 20)

The key word for you today is boundaries, Capricorn, so think for a minute about what this means to you. It’s time to have a serious talk with yourself. Set some limits and be honest about drawing the line. Your health, your state of mind, and your relationships with others all depend on your taking the initiative to know when to say no in certain situations.

Aquarius (Jan 21-Feb 19)

Make sure that you’re living consciously at this time, Aquarius. It could be that you’re going through a period of denial and simply refusing to see the truth of the situation. Open up your eyes to the world around you so you can invite in joy and compassion. Don’t be satisfied with superficial interactions that don’t really satisfy you emotionally and intellectually.

Pisces (Feb 20-Mar 20)

In some ways, today could seem like a day of reckoning for you, Pisces. You might look in the mirror and see things that you really aren’t very happy with. Perhaps you harbor a sense of shame based on past events that still linger in your mind. Don’t let this shadow of insecurity continue to dwell in your life. Work through these feelings and identify the root of the problem.
