In search for cause of Hawaii’s wildfires, lawyers probe power lines

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:11:51 GMT

By Mark Chediak and Jef Feeley | BloombergWhile the cause of the deadly Maui fires remains under investigation, lawyers are sending experts to the island to look into utility power lines as being a possible source of ignition.Attorneys with Watts Guerra, Singleton Schreiber, and Frantz Law Group said they have been collecting evidence, interviewing eyewitnesses and reviewing reports that indicate that damaged power infrastructure owned by Hawaiian Electric Industries Inc. created the spark for the flames.“All evidence — videos, witness accounts, burn progression, and utility equipment remaining — points to Hawaiian Electric’s equipment being the ignition source of the fire that devastated Lahaina,” said Mikal Watts, a Puerto Rico-based plaintiffs lawyer at Watts Guerra who has won millions of dollars in settlements in other wildfire cases, including against California utility giant PG&E Corp.Hawaiian Electric said it doesn’t have information on what caused the fires, according t...

Rocked by hazing scandal, Northwestern hopes Braun can help steady program

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:11:51 GMT

EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) — David Braun had no idea just how much his life would change when Pat Fitzgerald hired him to be Northwestern’s defensive coordinator in January.Steadying a program rocked by a hazing scandal wasn’t part of his job description. It is now.Braun finds himself leading a Big Ten team as the interim coach after Fitzgerald got fired last month with the program embroiled in a hazing and abuse scandal. “Is it crystallizing that I’m the head coach? I would say no,” Braun said. “That’s gonna take some good time. Interesting context and circumstances … but what I can say is the opportunity to get back with this group, with this staff, with this team and to get back to football has been just a great opportunity for us to get back into a certain level of routine.” The Wildcats were already reeling after going a combined 4-20 the past two seasons while going 1-8 in Big Ten play both years. They were 1-11 overall in 2022 and didn’t win...

Purdue Boilermakers hoping Hudson Card can be their next ace at the ‘Cradle of Quarterbacks’

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:11:51 GMT

Hudson Card thinks he can become Purdue’s new ace.Those inside the program are firm believers, too.First-year coach Ryan Walters raves about Card’s mobility, receivers like Card’s arm strength and accuracy, and now, after just a few months on campus, the Boilermakers are going all-in on the former Texas star emerging as the next big thing at the “Cradle of Quarterbacks.”“I think that was part of the reason that made me want to come here — they produce quarterbacks who go to the league,” Card said. “That’s something I want to end up eventually doing. It’s really cool to be a part of that, and, hopefully, I can carry on the tradition.”The roll call includes names such as Len Dawson and Bob Griese, Gary Danielson and Jim Everett, Drew Brees and Kyle Orton, and most recently Aidan O’Connell, the walk-on now in his first training camp with the Las Vegas Raiders.At 6-foot-2, 210 pounds, Card has prototypical size.

Mel Tucker and Michigan State hope to bounce back from a lost season marred by suspensions

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:11:51 GMT

Mel Tucker is among the highest-paid coaches in college football, cashing in on a surprising season two years ago at Michigan State.The school is hoping to get a better return on its investment this season.The Spartans were 5-7 in 2022, losing their last two games to fall short of being bowl-eligible, and a melee in the Michigan Stadium tunnel marred the entire year.“Oftentimes you have to get kicked in the face before you can be great,” Tucker said. ”We have a chip on our shoulder. No one was happy with the way the season unfolded, especially there the last couple games. It was very disappointing. We’re just hungry.”Tucker inherited a shaky program when he replaced the retired Mark Dantonio and it showed during a 2-5, pandemic-shortened season and in the following NFL draft when the program didn’t have one player selected for the first time in 80 years.“That goes to show you the state of the depth and talent in the program,” Tucker said.With the help of breakout star running ...

Minnesota turns its offense over to Athan Kaliakmanis, after the QB’s promising head start

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:11:51 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — For the first time in five years, Minnesota’s starting quarterback is different than the previous season opener. The good news for the Gophers is the guy they call the “Greek Rifle” got a head start. Athan Kaliakmanis started five games in 2022 for program stalwart Tanner Morgan, a switch that was equal parts injury fill-in and on-the-job training.“My confidence has always been there, no matter what has happened or what the situation has been like,” Kaliakmanis said. “But I think my teammates also helped me with that. Even when I wasn’t in or I wasn’t playing, I always acted like I was the guy, so I kind of practiced.”The native of Antioch, Illinois, has three years of eligibility left following a redshirt freshman season with mixed results. After a daunting debut as a starter in a 45-17 defeat at Penn State, Kaliakmanis finished well against rival Wisconsin by going 19 for 29 for 319 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions for the program’s hig...
