As the country looks forward to mass electrification, it cannot afford this kind of bottleneck with the grid. This problem becomes especially acute when you consider EVs. Electric cars are here. Perhaps you even own a Tesla. EVs are on the road, but the infrastructure to support their mass adoption is, it seems, nowhere to be found. Fortunately, I predict the country is still a solid decade away from this presenting a major problem: even if every new vehicle were electric tomorrow, it would take ten years for gas-powered vehicles to be replaced....

Mexican prosecutors charge that Andrade–with help from Trevi–persuaded numerous parents to turn over their daughters. Then, they allege, he gained psychological control over the girls and forced them to have sex with him. Criminal complaints have been filed by Karina’s parents and by two women in Mexico City who describe themselves as victims. Last fall, Trevi denied any wrongdoing and dropped out of sight. Andrade, who hasn’t been seen in public since 1997, has never responded to the charges....

There is an emerging consensus that government has an interest in, and a right to attempt, behavior modification among those who are sunk in dependency on public assistance. So there is a need to know more about what government can legitimately do to nurture in citizens the character traits requisite for personal independence. There is a less sentimental and less politically timid assessment of what constitutes “caring.” Americans are recurring to the Victorian distinction between the “deserving” and “undeserving” poor....

In fact, with an annual salary of $60,000, Hyundai employees are among the highest-paid blue-collar workers in Korea, and make just a bit less than the average salary of their compatriots in Detroit. Hyundai, the world’s sixth-largest automaker, is also plagued with many of the same problems that have driven American auto giants like GM and Ford to the brink of solvency in recent years. Hyundai’s profits declined 35 percent last year, the first time since 2000....

There's no real way around that. The Indians went 49-15 (a .766 winning percentage) against the six AL teams that finished under .500 this season -- the Astros, White Sox, Twins, Mariners, Blue Jays and Angels. They went a combined 12-27 (a .308 winning percentage) against the other four AL teams that made the playoffs. MORE: Postseason schedule | Playoffs photo gallery | Linemakers Those are numbers. They're facts. They're not a condemnation, not a roundabout way of saying the Indians didn't deserve to play in the 2013 postseason....

And so he did. The United States might be delinquent in its payment of dues to the United Nations, said Helms, but it was not a “deadbeat nation.” It was “nonsense” to think that the country would stand by and accept that the international criminal court could assert jurisdiction over Americans. International law–“quote, unquote,” added the senator–“has been used as a make-believe justification for hindering the march of freedom.” If the United States, as it did during the Reagan years, decided to “lend support to nations struggling to break the chains of tyranny,” that was its own, inherently legitimate business....

Four years later, following a series of frustrations that have roiled fans and Romanian government leaders alike, the issue is popping up again–at an especially inopportune time for U.S. officials. Newspapers throughout Romania last week were plastered with headlines announcing the musician’s family’s intention to protest what they see as the “insultingly” poor U.S. management of both VanGoethem’s court martial and a subsequent civil suit at the April 2-4 NATO summit in Bucharest, where President Bush, who arrived in Romania late Tuesday night, is hoping to shore up his foreign-policy legacy....

First he got punched by Bearcats forward Octavius Ellis. A few minutes later, Hammons forgot the golden rule of sports: “Always keep your head on a swivel.” It’s a teachable moment, really. Nobody likes getting hit in the face.

The Athletic reported the AAF was forced to look for fresh investment last week to avoid the prospect of missing payroll. Carolina Hurricanes majority owner Tom Dundon stepped in to provide a $250 million commitment. Dundon, who who acquired a majority stake in the Hurricanes for $420 million in January 2018, on Tuesday was announced as the new chair of the AAF’s board of directors .

But Hernandez is not detached from that conversation, no matter how much the NFL wishes it could detach from him.

The Yankees slugger established in his rookie campaign in 2017 that he was one of the game’s best power hitters when he launched 52 home runs, a then-rookie record. Judge reached 200 home runs in only 671 career games, the second-fastest player to reach the milestone. Now, he has achieved a historic milestone. Judge’s home run on Sept. 28 in Toronto tied Roger Maris’ American League single-season record. How many home runs does Judge have, and what is his pace this season?...

New York’s success to this point in the season has come in spite of an injured list that has oftentimes spilled onto a second page. However, the one name that looms largest on that list — Aaron Judge — is taking plenty of steps in the right direction. What’s the latest on Aaron Judge’s injury? Judge, with five home runs, 11 RBIs and a .925 OPS in 20 games, was injured during an at-bat in the sixth inning in a game against the Royals on April 20, but is checking off boxes left and right in the last few weeks of his rehab....

Who was that friend? Yankees bullpen catcher Jason Brown’s father, John. Here is Judge’s moment with Brown, a retired school teacher, and coach who lives in the Los Angeles area: “I missed him when we were in Anaheim, saw him on the field and ran over and wanted to say a quick hello to him and his family and kind of told him I would get one tonight and the wind was blowing right and I was able to do it," Judge explained to the New York Post about his pregame conversation with Brown....

It will also keep him out of commission a minimum of 10 days, until at least Nov. 13, as per the NFL’s COVID protocols. That’s because, despite preseason comments that suggested otherwise, Rodgers is unvaccinated, per a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.

Rodgers came through on his quasi-guarantee that the Packers would “run the table,” winning their final six games and making the playoffs as NFC North champions once again. The capper was Sunday night’s 300-yard, 4-TD performance in Green Bay’s 31-24 division-clinching win in Detroit. Since the fun began on a Monday night in Philadelphia in Week 12, that’s 15 TD passes to 0 INTs to go with 6-0. Rodgers’ final numbers were very familiar and league MVP-like: 40 TDs and 4,428 yards with only 7 INTs, none since Week 10....

Rodgers will be in the stands for Saturday’s game between No. 9 Oklahoma State and No. 15 Kansas. He told Sporting News he considered watching a game at KU as something he wanted to do now that he had the time. He said he has been a basketball fan for years and attended the 2008 NCAA Tournament Midwest Regional in Detroit, when the Jayhawks escaped Davidson in the Elite Eight and went on to win the championship for the third time....

Over 175,000 people have watched the moment Henry Friedman, 32, saved Morgan, the senior dog, in Mexico. The video posted by @keepingfinn has racked up more than 32,000 likes since it was posted on October 21. Morgan is now in San Diego awaiting adoption. Speaking to Newsweek, Henry, the content creator, explained he discovered the 12-year-old dog through social media. He told Newsweek: “His story is what people mean when they say ‘we don’t deserve dogs....

Dream on. It almost certainly won’t happen. The practical and political problems of jettisoning the income tax are so daunting that, once they become understood, the appeal of alternatives may fade. Radical reform would take a sledgehammer to the tax code’s complexity; but its fatal weakness is that much of the complexity flows from popular provisions–the mortgage interest and charitable deductions, for example. The only way to abolish the IRS is to rename it....
