Warning over hiking apps after 'virtually identical' rescues on Vancouver North ShoreCongressional schedule for 2025 is set with Senate releasing its calendar
WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader-in-waiting John Thune plans to have the chamber in session for 10 straight weeks to start 2025. That’s according to the Senate’s 2025 legislative calendar released by the South Dakota Republican on social media Thursday. The calendar has senators in session for five days a week for most of the year, which, if adhered to, would be a change in the chamber’s current flow of usually eschewing Friday votes. The Senate is expected to have a busy start to the year with hearings and votes on President-elect Donald Trump’s announced nominees. Republicans have also begun to plot out their legislative agenda for two budget reconciliation packages – one to address border, defense and energy-related priorities, plus a sweeping tax package. Lawmakers will also likely have to pass a long-term spending bill in the first few months of the year, with Congress expected this month to extend government funding into March. Both the Senate and the House, which released its calendar Wednesday , will convene on Jan. 3 as required under the Constitution, when the new Congress will be sworn in. After the 10 straight weeks in session, with a break on Feb. 17 to observe Presidents Day, the Senate is set to take its first recess the week of March 17, when House lawmakers will also be off. But that would be the House’s third weeklong break of the year, following recesses the last week of January and the week of Presidents Day. As usual, both chambers have scheduled a two-week recess around the Easter and Passover holidays, which fall in mid-April. Weeklong recesses are scheduled around Memorial Day and July 4, while the House is also expected to be out of session for a week around Juneteenth. Both chambers will be out for the traditional August recess. After Labor Day, lawmakers are set to return to Washington for three work weeks in September, with a scheduled recess the week of Sept. 21 for Rosh Hashanah. That would come a week before the fiscal year ends at the close of the month, when Congress faces a funding deadline. Both chambers are scheduled to be in session on Sept. 29 and 30. In the last quarter of the year, the Senate calendar has a weeklong recess in mid-October for Columbus Day, while House lawmakers are set to return that Tuesday. Both chambers are scheduled to recess for two weeks in November, one for Veterans Day and another for Thanksgiving. The Senate is slated to wrap up its work for next year on Dec. 19, a day after the House. ©2024 CQ-Roll Call, Inc., All Rights Reserved. Visit cqrollcall.com.

(NYSE: QBTS) Names New Board Of Directors Member As Stock Price Hit 52-Week HighJaipur: The chrysanthemum exhibition returned to Rajasthan University after a gap of two years. The 38th Chrysanthemum Exhibition that was inaugurated on the varsity campus by Deputy Chief Minister Premchand Bairwa on Saturday features more than 5,000 plants of more than 30 varieties of this flower. The last exhibition in 2022 showcased 3,700 plants across 45 varieties. "This event will certainly encourage floriculture , promote innovation in the agricultural sector, and raise environmental awareness among students and the community. The variety of flowers and advanced agricultural techniques displayed here will inspire many," said Bairwa in his address at the inauguration ceremony. Jaipur MP Manju Sharma, Civil Lines MLA and RU syndicate member Gopal Sharma, and Vice-Chancellor Alpana Kateja were also present at the inauguration ceremony. The exhibition will be open to the public from 10am to 4pm daily till Dec 9. After the exhibition concludes, the plants will be sold. This year, the price has been set at Rs 150 per plant, which is Rs 50 higher than last time. "Chrysanthemum is a Chinese flower and lacks the essence of Indian culture. I hope RU will focus in future on introducing gardens with flowers that reflect Indian heritage. While it is commendable that the university is maintaining its traditions, there is much room for improvement," said Gopal Sharma. RU has been hosting the chrysanthemum exhibition since 1996.

FOXBORO, Mass. — Jerod Mayo’s walk back to the locker room was slow. It was an eerie evening here. Foggy, dark, foreboding. Even though his tenure has only lasted 16 games, Mayo’s done this walk several times, the sulked retreat to the locker room after a performance that felt like rock bottom only for a new low to arrive. Advertisement But this one feels different. This one really has to be rock bottom. The kind that leads to change. For weeks, the New England Patriots have signaled to every NFL insider with a cell phone that they really wanted Mayo to return for a second season as head coach. Robert Kraft had made Mayo the hand-picked successor to all Bill Belichick built. They knew he’d have learning moments as a first-time head coach. But they really wanted it to work out. Essentially, the message was this: Just don’t make the Patriots an embarrassment, and you’re back for Year 2. This one though — Los Angeles Chargers 40, Patriots 7 — leaves no doubt. The Patriots are an embarrassment. They’re 3-13. They haven’t scored 30 or more points in 44 straight games. They’ve surrendered at least that many six times this season alone. They hadn’t lost six in a row since 1993 — now they’ve done it twice this year. For a second straight season, they’re going to finish with a sub-.300 winning percentage, something they haven’t done since they were the AFL’s Boston Patriots. All of which is to say more simply: It’s time. Time for change. Time for Kraft to admit this has all been too much too soon for Mayo, and set sights on hiring Mike Vrabel to be the Patriots’ new head coach. GO DEEPER Patriots' offseason priorities: A look at the team's shopping list for free agency Kraft’s plan seemed a reasonable one once upon a time. Mayo seemed a natural successor to Belichick. He played for him and was lured into coaching by him. He could take Belichick’s core beliefs and pair them with a more modern approach. It seemed like it had a chance to work. And what a story it would’ve been. But 16 games in, it’s painfully obvious that Mayo is in over his head. Perhaps it wouldn’t be this simple if the crop of available coaches was a group without any ties to the Patriots who may not even consider a franchise that’s been in the wilderness since Tom Brady left five years ago. Advertisement What should make it an easy decision for Kraft is that the fix is obvious. One of the two best available coaches is a Patriots Hall of Famer, a tough, no-nonsense guy who could both be a bridge to the glory years while yielding optimism about what’s to come in Foxboro. In short, what Mayo was supposed to be. Another way to look at it is this: The best case is that Mayo turns things around, gets buy-in from players, and with more talent on his roster, yields the kind of culture Vrabel built in Tennessee while getting the most out of his teams. But if that’s the hope, why not just hire Vrabel? There’s no guarantee most years that other free-agent coaches would have any interest in the Patriots. But Vrabel would. He could return to the franchise where he became a three-time Super Bowl champion as a driving force of the first dynasty. And, importantly, he has a good relationship with Kraft. The Pats owner wined and dined Vrabel during the Tennessee Titans’ bye week last year when Vrabel was inducted, rolling out the red carpet as a thank you for all Vrabel meant to the Pats (and maybe as an apology for trading him in 2009), which at the time irked some back in Tennessee watching Vrabel bask in all things Patriots. Even if the Patriots’ job wouldn’t be all that intriguing to some coaches, that’s not the case with Vrabel. At this point, what’s the argument for bringing back Mayo? Just that Kraft once saw a lot of promise in him and they owe it to him to give him a chance with a better roster? Is that enough to let Vrabel go elsewhere, then potentially have to make a switch next year if things don’t work out and have to search through a new crop of available coaches who don’t have ties to the Patriots? That path would mean changes to Mayo’s coaching staff, potentially swapping out his offensive and defensive coordinators. Alex Van Pelt’s offense has been really bad, and somehow DeMarcus Covington’s defense has been even worse. On national TV Saturday, the Chargers had 428 yards to the Patriots’ 181. They had 29 first downs to the Patriots’ 11. They had the ball for more than two-thirds of the game. Advertisement Back at the bye that started this month, the mandate to Mayo and his coaching staff seemed obvious. Just don’t become a trainwreck at the end of the season. Show some improvement here and there even if it doesn’t add up to a bunch of wins. But in the three games since then, the Patriots have been blown out by the Arizona Cardinals, blew a 14-point lead to the Buffalo Bills, and been blown out by the Chargers. Everything about the latest one was embarrassing. Ladd McConkey, the rookie receiver they didn’t want in the second round, torched them for 94 yards and two touchdowns — outproducing the combined season-long effort from the receivers the Patriots drafted instead (Ja’Lynn Polk and Javon Baker). The defense was gashed and lost their best player (Christian Gonzalez) to injury. The offense stunk and got Drake Maye smoked a few times. Even the odd parts of this team that don’t really matter are embarrassing, like Mayo telling the broadcast crew before the game that they were going to start Antonio Gibson at running back to send a message to Rhamondre Stevenson ... only to then start Stevenson. “Coach’s decision,” was all Mayo could muster three different times when pressed on the move. At this point, he’s a coach without answers. Maybe if he had another year to be a mentee under Belichick this could’ve worked out. Or maybe if Eliot Wolf’s draft class hadn’t been a total disaster outside of Maye then Mayo could yield more production with a better roster. Instead, Gillette Stadium was dotted by empty seats Saturday, an uncomfortable reminder of where they’re at. Kraft invited Maye’s family to watch the game from his suite high above the 50-yard line. At this point, it’s obvious the Patriots feel they have their franchise quarterback. They owe it to him to surround him with better players — and, based on the last 16 games, better coaches. Advertisement The hope was that Mayo would get better as the season went on and he learned the ropes of a new job. His team would reflect that improvement. Instead, the Patriots found a new rock bottom on an afternoon where an uncomfortable reality set in. It’s time to make another change at head coach. (Top photo: Kathryn Riley / Getty Images)
