After leading for all but one possession through three quarters, a Lakers turnover triggered the Pelicans and led New Orleans to a 131-126 win. The Lakers controlled the game until a disastrous five seconds to end the third quarter. The Pelicans quickly went on an 11-2 run to start the fourth to lead by six. LeBron James scored 27, leaving him 36 points away from breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all-time scoring mark, and Westbrook, who was questionable until game time because of an illness, had 15. The Lakers went 2-3 on their road trip, the loss to New Orleans snapping the Pelicans’ 10-game losing streak.

By Libor Jany | Los Angeles TimesLOS ANGELES — A Los Angeles police SWAT officer who was caught on body-camera video telling his colleagues “happy hunting” before a fatal police shooting last spring has received a two-day suspension following an internal investigation, according to Los Angeles Police Department disciplinary records. His remark was made while preparing with other SWAT officers to surround a man named Leron James, who was armed with a handgun and had barricaded himself in a downtown L.A. apartment building. Moore later ordered a 10-year review of the unit’s operations to determine whether “any potential problems or patterns” existed in how its members used force. The controversial report, published last July, concluded that SWAT officers used force in only a small fraction of deployments between 2012 and 2022 — no force was used in 1,245 of the 1,350 incidents, the report found. ©2023 Los Angeles Times.

A memorial to soldiers of the Confederacy has no place on county property. Given the painful past associated with the Civil War, Minor’s stance is correct. Removing the statue won’t change history; the county should leave it alone. Perhaps putting the statue in a museum is OK, but destroying it is the wrong approach. There are strong feelings on both sides of the issue.

Russia has violated the New START treaty cutting long-range nuclear arms by refusing to allow on-site inspections and rebuffing Washington’s requests to meet to discuss its compliance concerns, the U.S. State Department said in a report sent to Congress on Tuesday. The lack of inspections has also made it harder to verify the number of warheads Russia has deployed under the accord, the State Department added. The finding comes amid concerns that the sharp tensions over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine may endanger prospects of cooperating on arms control and negotiating a follow-on agreement that would take effect after the New START treaty expires in 2026. The Biden administration is eager to preserve the New START treaty, which is the last major agreement regulating the nuclear competition between the two sides, and is pressing Russia to correct the violations. “There is a clear path to re-compliance here, and we continue to strongly value the treaty,” said a senior State Department official.

Astronomers have discovered 12 new moons around Jupiter, bringing its total count to 92, the most of any in our solar system. Astronomers have discovered 12 new moons around Jupiter, putting the total count at 92—more moons than any other planet in our solar system. The MPC estimates that nine of the most distant of the moons have orbits that exceed 550 days, Space.com stated. Sheppard believes that due to the small size of the moons, they were formed after collisions broke them apart into smaller objects, Sky and Telescope noted. Sheppard also believes there are more moons around Uranus and Neptune but their distance from our planet makes observing possible new moons difficult.

So when telemarketers pop in on New Jersey phones, they can't yada, yada, yada or give people the "it's me." The legislation has been dubbed the "Seinfeld" bill because of a famous scene from the 90s sitcom, where Jerry Seinfeld answers a phone call from a telemarketer. "My law requires the telemarketers to Give You Phone Number in the first 30 seconds of the call," he tweeted. "New Jerseyans should know who they’re talking to on the phone and what’s being sold to them by telemarketers," Bramnick said. The bill doesn't stop short in requiring telemarketers to be transparent only on phone calls.
