No more overlooking the Kraken. Seattle crashed the playoff party at Ball Arena with a 3-1 Game 1 victory over the Avs on Tuesday.Losing the first two games of a playoff series at home can often be a death sentence. Here are three keys to Avalanche redemption in Game 2 on Thursday (7:30 p.m. MT, ESPN).1. Second-line repentance. Two of the Kraken’s three goals in Game 1 — the last two — were scored by their second line, while Colorado’s second line was on the ice. Artturi Lehkonen and Valeri Nichushkin are elite forecheckers who failed to forecheck in the offensive and neutral zones as Seattle pushed for a transition goal early in the second period. “It’s relatively easy coverage,” coach Jared Bednar said after the game. The Avalanche’s top line allowed more scoring chances, but it wasn’t responsible for any Kraken goals. (It was on the ice for Seattle’s first but had nothing to do with it.

By KIM CHANDLER (Associated Press)DADEVILLE, Ala.

Segrest said prosecutors would ask a judge to hold them without b...

Making cryptocurrencies crime-proof 

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 05:41:38 GMT

“Criminals and terrorists will soon have a hard time using Bitcoin for their schemes”, says co-rapporteur Assita Kanko who together with Ernest Urtasun from the Greens negotiated new rules on cryptoassets which will be voted on in the European Parliament tomorrow. According to Kanko, the “crypto sector has been hit by high-profile scandals and bankruptcies in the past. More and more people therefore understand that cryptocurrencies need normal regulation.”When buying and selling crypto-assets, personal data will soon have to be exchanged even for small amounts of money as this is common for bank transfers already. “However, a threshold of just €1,000, as used for bank transfers, is really quite meaningless in the world of cryptocurrencies. It is often the small amounts that hide crime. We have seen evidence of terrorist fundraising with amounts of around €100. We've seen evidence of payments to child pornography websites of 10 or 20 euros”, Kanko said in today's plenary debate. The ...

Trial begins for man accused of igniting massive 2018 California wildfire

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 05:41:38 GMT

A long-running dispute between two neighbors among the rustic cabins of Holy Jim Canyon led one of the men to intentionally ignite what became the massive Holy fire that burned through more than 23,000 acres in Orange and Riverside counties, a prosecutor told jurors on Tuesday.Alleged threats made by Forrest Clark toward his neighbor, along with potentially self-incriminating comments a raving Clark made to investigators who were looking into the source of the wildfire, are at the center of an arson trial that began Tuesday morning in an Orange County Superior courthouse in Santa Ana.Deputy District Attorney Dominic Bello told jurors that Clark threatened his neighbor hours before setting a fire “in or around” the man’s cabin. Alternate Defender Jason Phlaum countered that fire investigators quickly focused solely on Clark and carried out an inadequate investigation that failed to prove the blaze was intentionally set.Forrest Clark appears in court on Tuesday, April 18, 2023 during ...
