No Comments on SpeedSeries news | Cheating insinuation rocks Trans Am

Turtle Wax Trans Am Series leader Nathan Herne has denied suggestions his team, Garry Rogers Motorsport, is cheating its way to a championship win.

Suspicions were raised by rival competitor Jon McCorkindale following the most recent SpeedSeries round at Queensland Raceway in which all three races were won by Herne.

The Ford Mustang he drove, and identical cars out of the same stable, exhibited roof flexing at high speed.

It is thought that the flexing of the roof gives the cars an aerodynamic advantage over the less popular Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger.

“Spot the difference,” wrote McCorkindale on social media, with a side-by-side image of his and Herne’s car.

“[Don’t worry] I love the innovation Garry Rogers Motorsport, but we are watching you.”

Death in custody of young Aboriginal man Mr Yeeda was likely preventable, WA coroner finds

No Comments on Death in custody of young Aboriginal man Mr Yeeda was likely preventable, WA coroner finds

A 19-year-old Aboriginal man’s death would likely have been prevented if multiple state authorities had not failed to arrange a life-or-death medical appointment, according to the WA state coroner.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised that this story contains an image of a person who has died.

Mr Yeeda, whose first name is being held for cultural reasons, died on May 3, 2018 at the West Kimberley Regional Prison near Derby.

The Miriuwung Gajerrong man was six weeks away from being released when he died from rheumatic heart disease after a game of basketball at the facility.

“He was looking forward to life,” said his mother Marlene Carlton, who released a written statement through the National Justice Project.

“He wanted to do his time so he could come out and live with his dad on a station and work with horses.”

According to the state coroner’s findings released this week, Mr Yeeda had rheumatic heart disease and had a referral to see a cardiologist about getting heart surgery.

However, an appointment for Mr Yeeda was never made.

Surgery likely would have prevented death

Based on an inquest held in September, the WA coroner concluded the young man would likely have been told he needed urgent heart surgery if he had made the appointment.

“If Mr Yeeda had undergone aortic valve replacement surgery, it is likely that his death would have been prevented,” a summary statement from the coroner said.

The coroner added that the WA Country Health Service bore the ultimate responsibility for the referral not being actioned, while the Department of Justice missed an opportunity by not having a computer-based tracking system to make sure urgent prisoner referrals were not missed.

“The WA Country Health Service feels deeply for the deceased’s family,” a spokesperson for the service said.

“While we can never replace their loss, we are working closely with all concerned on the recommendations outlined by the coroner.”

The Department of Justice said it acknowledged the findings of the coroner.

“All deaths in custody are taken seriously and systems and processes will be reviewed in light of the coroner’s recommendations,” the department said in a statement.

WA Cardiology also missed a number of opportunities to assist, according to the coroner.

The service has been contacted for comment.

Coronar’s recommendations

The coroner recommended that the Department of Justice work together with the country health service to improve the exchange of information about the status of referrals, and address tracking system delays created by a lack of resources in the department.

The third and final recommendation was for the department to investigate the feasibility of creating a list that would alert prison officers if an inmate was unfit for sport or work.

Mr Yeeda had been in custody for about one year when he died, having been taken into the facility on May 5, 2017.

He required regular medication and monitoring for heart damage he experienced as a young child, when he had rheumatic fever.

He had surgery for an aortic valve repair when he was a child but it was not a cure for his rheumatic heart disease.

Mr Yeeda was supposed to have monthly penicillin injections but was occasionally resistant to having them.

Arrangements for Mr Yeeda to have heart surgery had previously been made in 2015, but those surgeries were canceled because consent had not been provided by him, or on his behalf.

“However, the fact that there had been no past consent did not mean there would be no future consent,” the coroner wrote.

According to the findings, Mr Yeeda had agreed on December 5, 2017 to see the visiting cardiologist but the appointment was not made.

He died about five months later.

Ms Carlton said her son’s death should have been prevented.

Concerns about racism, lack of cultural care

“There was a lack of communication between the prison and me – if anything happened to him, they should have called me, but they didn’t,” Ms Carlton said.

“There should be a better system to monitor their [the inmates’] health, and they need people in the prison who understand Indigenous culture and health [requirements].”

George Newhouse, the principal solicitor and director of the National Justice Project, said more needed to be done to ensure culturally safe health care in prisons.

“The coroner has failed to address the systemic racism in WA’s justice and healthcare systems which led to Mr Yeeda’s death,” Mr Newhouse said.

Professor Juanita Sherwood, a Wiradjuri woman and board member of the Congress of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives, said prison staff should have followed national guidelines for managing rheumatic heart disease.

“These guidelines are easily accessible, and prison and health staff should have known better because we all know it’s a big issue for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities that needs to be managed well,” she said.

“The lack of treatment and follow-through reveal a negligent treatment of Mr Yeeda.”

No Comments on An OnlyFans model is accused of murder in her boyfriend’s fatal stabbing

An OnlyFans model who fatally stabbed her boyfriend in Miami was arrested in Hawaii on Wednesday and is expected to be charged with second-degree murder, authorities said.

In a statement, the Hawai’i Police Department said a warrant was issued for the arrest of Courtney Clenney, 26, alleging second-degree murder with a deadly weapon.

Clenney was taken into custody in the killing on April 3 of Christian “Toby” Obumseli while in rehabilitation for substance abuse and post-traumatic stress disorder, said her lawyer, Frank Prieto, confirming comments first reported by The Miami Herald.

She was being held at the East Hawai’i Detention Center and was expected to make a first appearance in local district court Thursday, the department said. She will eventually be extradited to Florida.

The 11th Judicial Circuit State Attorney’s office said it would announce charges Thursday in connection with Obumseli’s slaying.

The Miami Police Department has previously described Obumseli’s death as a domestic violence-related incident that involved a physical altercation and ended with a stabbing.

In a statement, Prieto, who has previously described the couple’s relationship as “clearly toxic,” said he was “completely shocked” at Clenney’s arrest because of “the clear evidence of self-defense in this matter.”

“Obumseli attacked her and choked her that evening,” he said. “Courtney had no choice but to meet force with force.”

A lawyer for Obumseli’s family did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

A cousin of Obumseli has previously said the family has “no cause to believe that this was a case of self-defense,” adding: “Toby was raised by a very strong family, with strong morals, strong values. He does not come from that.”

Clenney appeared on OnlyFans under the name Courtney Tailor and has 2 million followers on Instagram.

Microsoft claims Sony pays for ‘blocking rights’ to keep games off Xbox Game Pass

No Comments on Microsoft claims Sony pays for ‘blocking rights’ to keep games off Xbox Game Pass

Microsoft has claimed Sony pays for “blocking rights” to stop developers from adding their content to Xbox Game Pass. The explosive claims are part of documents (Word doc) filed with Brazil’s national competition regulator and part of a review of Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

“Microsoft’s ability to continue expanding Game Pass has been hampered by Sony’s desire to inhibit such growth,” claims Microsoft in an August 9th filing to the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE), as translated from Portuguese. “Sony pays for ‘blocking rights’ to prevent developers from adding content to Game Pass and other competing subscription services.”

Does this mean Sony is evil and Microsoft is casually out here revealing some dastardly business practices? The reality is likely to be a little more complicated on both sides. Sony could simply be paying for exclusive rights for its own streaming services, or it may have clauses in some publishing contracts that prevent some games it publishes from being published on rival subscription services.

It’s not clear exactly what Microsoft is referring to here, but contracts for publishing games can be complex, particularly when rights for streaming and subscription services are involved. Documents filed in the Epic Games v. Manzana trial last year revealed Microsoft had been considering lowering the revenue split for PC games “in exchange for the grant of streaming rights to Microsoft.”

If Microsoft had proceeded with its plans, that could have led to the company securing exclusive streaming rights on some games, preventing them from being available on rival streaming services. It all depends on how publishing contracts are written, and both Microsoft and Sony regularly secure game exclusives that involve timed releases, console exclusivity, and lots of marketing dollars.

Microsoft is attempting to convince Brazil’s CADE regulator that it should waive through the company’s proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion. While the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is analyzing documents from Microsoft on its acquisition in the US, that correspondence is private. That’s not the case in Brazil, where its competition regulator offers up public documents that provide unique insight into the business competition between Microsoft and Sony.

*Microsoft previously considered obtaining streaming rights for PC games in exchange for better revenue sharing.*

Documents from Brazil’s CADE have been analyzed by Xbox and PlayStation fans over the past week, with posters on ResetEra highlighting the juicy parts. The regulator has been asking Sony and other Microsoft rivals about the Activision Blizzard acquisition. Sony previously responded to Brazil’s regulator claiming that it would be difficult for other developers to create a franchise that rivals Activision’s Call of Duty and that it stands out “as a gaming category on its own.”

Naturally, Microsoft disagrees, and Ubisoft, Riot Games, Bandai Namco, and Google have all highlighted competition to Call of Duty in the form of apex legends, Battlefield, PUBGand more.

Microsoft also claims that adding Activision Blizzard content to Xbox Game Pass will actually increase competition somehow. “The inclusion of Activision Blizzard content in Game Pass does not impair the ability of other players to compete in the digital game distribution market,” claims Microsoft in one document, where the company also argues it increases the competition thanks to “high-quality content at lower immediate costs.”

Sony hasn’t responded to this particular point yet, but at $9.99 per month for Xbox Game Pass, it’s easy to imagine consumers picking that option to play titles like Call of Duty instead of paying $60 or more to purchase and own the game.

Call of Duty has been at the heart of competition fears for Microsoft’s proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

Microsoft also argues that not distributing games like Call of Duty at rival console stores “would simply not be profitable” for the company. Microsoft has previously made it clear it will keep Call of Duty on PlayStation. Microsoft says a strategy of not distributing Activision Blizzard games on rival consoles would only be profitable if the games could attract a high number of players over to the Xbox ecosystem, resulting in revenue to compensate for losses from not selling these titles on rival consoles.

Whether Microsoft’s claims about “blocking rights” are accurate, it wouldn’t be the first time Sony has used financial incentives to block game developers. Sony held back PS4 cross-platform play for years and implemented a crossplay revenue share for publishers that wanted to enable crossplay in their games.

Sony’s cross-platform revenue share forced publishers to pay Sony a royalty whenever PlayStation players contributed more than a certain percentage to the bottom line of a cross-platform game to “offset the reduction in revenue” from Sony enabling crossplay. Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney testified last year that Sony was the only platform holder that required this compensation for crossplay.

We’ve reached out to Sony to comment on Microsoft’s claims and to Microsoft to clarify what Sony allegedly blocks. We haven’t heard back from either company yet, and we don’t expect either will comment on these explosive details. But we’ll be watching the documents from Brazil’s CADE carefully in the coming days to see if or how Sony responds to Microsoft’s claims.

Olympic swimmer Scott Miller hit with more drug, meth, charges

No Comments on Olympic swimmer Scott Miller hit with more drug, meth, charges

Olympic swimmer Scott Miller has been hit with a raft of fresh offenses three months after he was put behind bars when he was arrested at his Sydney home over his role in an alleged drug syndicate.

The 47-year-old was arrested at his Rozelle home in February last year following a police investigation into the supply of more than $2 million – or at least 4kg – worth of ice.

He has remained behind bars since his arrest and has since pleaded guilty, but in May this year he was hit with multiple new charges relating to another drug matter.

Police allege the former Olympian directed a “criminal group” between April 2020 and October 2021 from Haberfield, in Sydney’s inner west.

According to court documents, Miller allegedly “knowingly took part in the manufacture of 1kg of methylamphetamine, which is not less than the large commercial quantity”.

It is also alleged he supplied 3kg of the drug, conspired with two co-accused to manufacture “a large commercial quantity” of meth and did “knowingly direct the activities of a criminal group”.

He was hit with six charges while already behind bars where he is awaiting sentence, including manufacturing or producing a prohibited drug, supply prohibited drug, two counts of conspire to commit an offence, knowingly direct activities of a criminal group and knowingly take part in manufacturing or producing a prohibited drug.

Neither Miller or a defense lawyer appeared when the matter was mentioned in court on Thursday, where Magistrate Daniel Covington was told a DPP prosecutor was making a detention application.

However, the application was not opposed as he was already behind bars due to the prior matter where he drove drugs to Yass.

The court was told Miller pleaded guilty and is due to be sentenced on the other matter later this month in the district court.

According to police documents in relation to the matter he pleaded guilty to, Miller drove the consignment of drugs about 280km from Sydney to Yass, where he was met by another man.

The silver medallist allegedly pleaded guilty to hiding the bag, which held eight candles containing meth worth $2.2 million, in a secret compartment and left the car overnight.

Miller picked up another man the next day and the pair drove the Camry to Yass, according to police.

More than a month later, Miller was arrested at his Rozelle home on February 16.

Footage from the arrest shows a shirtless Miller with his face blurred wearing nothing but a pair of blue jeans as he slumps in a white chair around a glass table inside a sparsely furnished room.

He pleaded guilty to four offences, including two counts of supplying prohibited drugs, dealing with property proceeds of crime and participating in a criminal group contributing to criminal activity.

Miller won silver and bronze at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and was briefly married to Sydney model Charlotte Dawson.

Homicide detectives probe potential domestic violence link in fatal Ayr house fire

No Comments on Homicide detectives probe potential domestic violence link in fatal Ayr house fire

Firefighters stand stand to a burnt-out home

Detectives have launched a homicide investigation after a suspicious house fire in north Queensland claimed a woman’s life.

Acting Chief Superintendent Chris Lawson said detectives believed the fire was deliberately lit.

The 47-year-old woman suffered severe burns and died in hospital after the blaze in the rural town of Ayr on Tuesday morning.

The woman’s partner, a 65-year-old man, remains in a serious condition in the Royal Brisbane Hospital and police have been unable to speak with him.

Police attended the home for a welfare check just hours before the blaze broke out and spoke to the couple.

Acting Chief Superintendent Lawson said that interaction was now the subject of an internal police review.

“We don’t want to rule anything out at this stage and we don’t want to speculate — until we actually speak with this male [it] it is difficult for us to establish exactly what the reasoning behind the whole incident was,” he said.

“The man and woman were in a domestic relationship and there was a current domestic violence protection order protecting the 47-year-old female.

“We’re working closely with the staff at the hospital to ensure that as soon as [the man] is able to, he will be speaking with the police.”

Acting Chief Superintendent Lawson said the domestic violence order had been in place since 2018 and did not prohibit the couple from living together.

He said they had lived at the property in Ayr for about a year before the fire and were known to police.

He said officers had been called to the property before the fire.

“We received a call for a request for service and we attended the scene,” he said.

“At that stage, police received assistance from the Queensland Ambulance Service to conduct investigations into the matter that was before them, and as a result of that they left both parties at the address.

“It’s not a great result and that’s why we have the Ethical Standards Command and the CCC [Crime and Corruption Commission] overviewing the investigation into that initial interaction with the couple.”

Police have been doorknocking residents in Ayr and have urged anyone with relevant CCTV or dashcam footage to contact them.

“The Queensland Police Service has launched a homicide investigation, codenamed Operation Uniform Turmeric, in relation to this investigation,” Acting Chief Superintendent Lawson said.

“Our investigators will be looking to glean as much information from the community around the couple and what their interactions were with them.”

China overtakes the US in scientific research output | China

No Comments on China overtakes the US in scientific research output | China

China has overtaken the US as the world leader in both scientific research output and “high impact” studies, according to a report published by Japan’s science and technology ministry.

The report, which was published by Japan’s National Institute of Science and Technology Policy (NISTP) on Tuesday, found that China now publishes the highest number of scientific research papers yearly, followed by the US and Germany.

The figures were based on yearly averages between 2018 and 2020, and drawn from data compiled by the analytics firm Clarivate.

The Japanese NISTP report also found that Chinese research comprised 27.2% of the world’s top 1% most frequently cited papers. The number of citations a research paper receives is a commonly used metric in academia. The more times a study is cited in subsequent papers by other researchers, the greater its “citation impact”.

The US accounted for 24.9% of the top 1% most highly cited research studies, while UK research was third at 5.5%.

China published a yearly average of 407,181 scientific papers, pulling ahead of the US’s 293,434 journal articles and accounting for 23.4% of the world’s research output, the report found.

China accounted for a high proportion of research into materials science, chemistry, engineering and mathematics, while US researchers were more prolific in research into clinical medicine, basic life sciences and physics.

The report was published on the day US president Joe Biden signed the Chips and Science Act, legislation that would authorize $200bn in research funding over 10 years to make US scientific research more competitive with China.

The Chinese embassy in the US said last month that China was “firmly opposed” to the bill which it said was “entrenched in [a] cold war and zero-sum game mentality”.

The “high impact” finding is in keeping with research published earlier this year, which found that China overtook the US in 2019 in the top 1% measure, and passed the European Union in 2015.

Papers that receive more citations than 99% of research are “works that are seen as being in the class of Nobel prize winners, the very leading edge of science”, study co-author Dr Caroline Wagner said at the time. “The US has tended to rank China’s work as lower quality. This appears to have changed.”

The US still spends more on research and development in the corporate and university sectors than any other country, the report also found. “China has the largest number of researchers in the corporate and university sectors among major countries. In the corporate sector, the United States and China are on par with each other, and both are showing rapid growth.”

“China is one of the top countries in the world in terms of both the quantity and quality of scientific papers,” Shinichi Kuroki of the Japan Science and Technology Agency told Nikkei Asia. “In order to become the true global leader, it will need to continue producing internationally recognized research,” he said.

Microsoft, CISA Warn of Actively Exploited ‘DogWalk’ Windows Bug

No Comments on Microsoft, CISA Warn of Actively Exploited ‘DogWalk’ Windows Bug

Microsoft has warned its customers that a vulnerability known as DogWalk, which affects every recent version of Windows and Windows Server, is being actively exploited by attackers.

DogWalk (CVE-2022-34713) is a high severity vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows Support Diagnostic Tool (MSDT) that can be exploited to enable remote code execution on vulnerable devices, the company says in a Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) update.

There are many such devices; DogWalk affects Windows 7, 8.1, 10, and 11 as well as several versions of Windows Server, Microsoft says in the MSRC update. More than 1.4 billion devices currently run Windows 10 or 11 alone, the company says on its website.

Microsoft does reassure Windows users that “exploitation of the vulnerability requires that a user open a specially crafted file,” which means attackers can’t just force their way onto a vulnerable system, but it’s not particularly hard to get someone to open a malicious file .

“In an email attack scenario,” Microsoft says, “an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending the specially crafted file to the user and convincing the user to open the file.” Or they could upload the malicious file to a website and just wait for someone to download it.

This update has prompted the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to add CVE-2022-34713 to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue. That means federal agencies have until Aug. 30 to patch their systems against the vulnerability.

That might not seem like a long time, especially since Microsoft released the Windows and Windows Servers patches related to DogWalk on Aug. 9 as part of Patch Tuesday. But attackers have known about this flaw in MSDT for at least 2.5 years at this point.

BleepingComputer reports that DogWalk was initially disclosed by a security researcher named Imre Rad in January 2020. Microsoft initially dismissed the report, Rad says, but now it’s finally released a fix and confirmed that attackers have exploited the flaw.

Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky boast one of the strongest marriages in Hollywood.

But some fans may not know the pair actually tied the knot just three months after going public as a couple in 2010.

‘It did happen quick and it just felt right, it made sense,’ Chris told the show when quizzed on how fast his relationship with Spanish actress Elsa, 46, progressed.

The former Home And Away actor started dating Spanish actress Elsa in early 2010, and they tied the knot in a low-key ceremony in December that year.

‘There was no great plan to any of it to be honest. We were on holiday and we said “why don’t we get married too?” And then the next minute… There probably should have been some planning but it all worked out,’ he mused.

Speaking to Hello! magazine, the Madrid-born beauty said her husband de ella has a knack for diffusing any argument with a joke.

‘We enjoy doing the same stuff and Chris has a great sense of humor and knows how to take the sting out of things,’ she said.

‘He always makes me and the kids laugh or when I’m angry, he tells a joke to lighten the mood. Humor counts for a lot. More than anything, I enjoy laughing with him.’
