Emily Manley's path to covering Missouri politics

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:55:39 GMT

ST. LOUIS – You've seen her cover some of the biggest stories in Missouri. Emily Manley is the Missouri Chief Capital Bureau reporter for Nexstar Media, and her job is to cover state politics. She works for eight stations in different parts of the state, and has been in this role for more than three years.Why did you want to become a journalist?Manly became interested in journalism after first developing an interest in meteorology in the fourth grade. Her fascination with weather led her to watch Dave Murray on FOX 2 in St. Louis and create forecasts using markers on her bedroom mirror."I would pretend that I was pointing to the weather and talking to myself," said Manley. "This continued in the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. I was the weird middle schooler who would make sure I was home in time, so I could watch the CBS Evening News. I loved that people got to tell other people's stories. So then, when I got to high school, it switched a little bit more into sports."She develo...

Laguna Beach looks to muzzle excessive barking

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:55:39 GMT

"Inconsiderate" dog owners have been put on notice by the city of Laguna Beach, as the City Council on Thursday defined what qualifies as excessive barking and banned "walking" dogs while riding a bicycle or e-bike. To clarify what a nuisance is, the council approved an ordinance that defines excessive barking as either 30 straight minutes or 60 minutes total over a 24-hour period, the Orange County Register reported.The definition of nuisance was nebulous in the past, the council heard from Jim Beres, a Laguna Beach Police Department administrator overseeing animal control, who likened it to "having a speed limit with no defined speed limit."“It was based on how many people were complaining or willing to appear before a hearing officer to testify and provide evidence that a dog, at a certain location, is a nuisance," he said. "That creates a different standard because what constitutes a violation at one location in North Laguna could be different in South Laguna. That’s what some p...

San Francisco-bound United flight’s plunge toward the ocean was caused by pilot error, NTSB says

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:55:39 GMT

By Pete Muntean | CNNA 2022 incident where a United Airlines flight came within 748 feet of crashing into the Pacific Ocean was caused by pilot error, federal investigators say.In a just-published final report, the National Transportation Safety Board pins the cause of United Airlines flight 1722’s dive on “the flight crew’s failure to manage the airplane’s vertical flightpath” after an apparent “miscommunication” between the two pilots over the position of the plane’s wing flaps.The incident took place about one minute after the Boeing 777 departed Hawaii’s Kahului Airport in heavy rain and turbulence on December 18, the NTSB said. The flight with 271 passengers on board continued on to its destination San Francisco without further issue, investigators said.The NTSB said statements from the flight crew revealed confusion over the setting of the 777’s flaps, which are typically extended for takeoff and retracted incrementally during climb out.“When the airplane reached the accelerat...

By Natasha Bertrand | CNNThe Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States is probing a secretive company that has been buying up land around a key Air Force base in Northern California, sources familiar with the matter and a California lawmaker told CNN.The ongoing review by CFIUS, an interagency panel chaired by the Treasury Department that is tasked with examining the national security implications of foreign investments, has not been previously reported.But it comes as several California congressmen have raised concerns about the hundreds of millions of dollars worth of land bought up in recent years in Solano County, by Flannery Associates, a limited liability company registered in Delaware whose owners are publicly unknown.“They’re right at the fence line with Travis Air Force Base, on three sides of the fence,” Rep. John Garamendi, a California Democrat whose district includes the base, told CNN.Flannery is not required by Delaware law to disclose its owners. Attorneys...

Projecting the (Karlsson-less) Sharks’ 23-man roster: Better team or better lottery odds?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:55:39 GMT

The San Jose Sharks have added seven new forwards with NHL experience since the end of last season. They’ve also changed the look of their defense corps and didn’t re-sign the goalie who appeared in 91 games over the past two years.So, are they any better, or did they give themselves a better chance at winning next year’s draft lottery?Certainly, the Sharks are a long shot to make the 2024 playoffs, given the question marks they have on defense and in net. The forward group is deeper and has a chance to be more dynamic than it was in 2022-23, although it could be a few more years before another prolific goal-scorer like Timo Meier is on the roster.rRight now, the only expectation Sharks general manager Mike Grier has for his group is to compete hard and build on the culture he feels they started to establish last season, even as they finished with a 22-44-16 record for 60 points — fourth-fewest in the NHL — with a 9.5 percent chance of winning the draft lottery.The...

High school football 2023 preview: DAL Foothill Division

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:55:39 GMT

DIABLO ATHLETIC LEAGUE FOOTHILL DIVISION(Predicted order of finish)No. 1 CAMPOLINDO Coach: Kevin MacyRecord in 2022: 12-1What to expect: Despite losing QB Dashiell Weaver and receiver Robbie Mascheroni to graduation, the Cougars remain the pick to win another DAL Foothill title. After that, things get dicey. Because of the NCS’s competitive equity model, Campo moves up to D-I this season – with big boys De La Salle, Pittsburg and Clayton Valley – after winning the D-II title in 2021 and reaching the D-II final last season. Longtime Campo coach Kevin Macy hopes the NCS rethinks the model, noting that his small-school program is being punished for its success. Leading Macy’s team this season will be players such as senior S James Giordani, senior WR Scott Lyon and senior WR/DB Tim Daugherty. Senior LB/FB James Erickson and senior CB Jake Spencer are two others expected to have an important presence. “Last year’s team lacked depth,” Macy said. “This year’s team will have no...
