This Cleveland Browns season has not gone anywhere close to according to plan, or approached even the most reasonable of expectations. Not only is Deshaun Watson out for the season, but even a Week 12 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers — in blizzard-like conditions, can mask a 3-8 start to a season that began with legitimate playoff aspirations but now appears earmarked for a last-place finish in the AFC North. Yet, despite being on track to miss the playoffs, it appears that it will be status quo for the Browns in 2025. According to a report from Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, the Browns plan on bringing back both head coach Kevin Stefanski and general manager Andrew Berry. “Just to reiterate,” Breer wrote in his Monday column . “And this was true before the game, the Browns are planning to go forward with Berry and Stefanski, barring something cataclysmic unfolding over the next six weeks.” There had been a belief that Stefanski may be on the hot-seat. However, if the Browns wind up keeping their options open at quarterback this offseason, Cleveland could be in position to snag one of the top incoming rookies which would give the veteran head coach the opportunity to hit the reset button both on his tenure and the Browns’ rebuild.

WASHINGTON — After decades of inaction, federal transportation officials have moved ahead with requiring new technologies to reduce crashes and fatalities involving large trucks. But the incoming administration could install a red light to block their efforts. At issue are proposed new rules by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to require large trucks to be equipped with automatic emergency braking systems and devices to limit their speeds. But advocates fear that such long-awaited progress to improve safety could end when Donald Trump replaces Joe Biden in the White House next month. Not only did Trump promise to reduce regulation but incoming Vice President JD Vance, while in the U.S. Senate, co-sponsored legislation to block the proposal requiring truckers to use speed limiters. "We are very nervous that safety-oriented rulemakings will be watered down or pulled altogether," said Zach Cahalan, executive director of the Truck Safety Coalition. After all, seven months after Trump took office the first time, his Transportation Department dropped efforts to require trucking companies and railroads to test employees for sleep apnea if symptoms were observed, even as the National Transportation Safety Board named reducing driver fatigue as one of its most-wanted safety improvements. "We want to hope for the best but based on the last time the Trump administration was in the White House, they did not advance safety regulations," said Harry Adler, principal at the Institute for Safer Trucking. The trucking industry gave 86% of its $13 million in campaign contributions to Republicans, including $1.2 million to Trump's campaign, according to the research group OpenSecrets. The 150,000-member strong Owner-Operators Independent Drivers Association already has let the new administration know of its opposition to speed limiters. "We look forward to working with the Trump administration and congressional allies to advance a pro-trucker agenda, which includes expanding truck parking, stopping unworkable environmental mandates and preventing a dangerous speed limiter mandate," OOIDA President Todd Spencer said. Cahalan said he "would not be surprised if the incoming administration chose to pull" the proposed rule on speed limiters, saying he expected it to be "on the chopping block." President Joe Biden and Congress pivoted to traffic safety after the pandemic led to a spike in highway deaths as motorists sped along near-empty roads. Fatalities in truck crashes nationally grew by 48% from 2013 to 2022, from 3,981 to 5,936. Pennsylvania reported a 19% increase during the same period, from 155 to 185. The 185 fatalities in the Keystone State in 2022 were the eighth highest in the nation, according to the Truck Safety Coalition. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg in January 2022 used some of the money in the bipartisan infrastructure law for a new National Roadway Safety Strategy that called for using new technology, adjusting speed limits, changing road design and signage, and improving responses from medical personnel to stem the increase in traffic-related deaths. Safety rules In the law, Congress demanded certain new safety rules, including automatic emergency braking on trucks heavier than 10,000 pounds. The final braking rule is scheduled to be released in January, the same month Trump takes office. Trump could let the rule take effect or possibly propose weaker regulations. Meanwhile, NHTSA estimated that the proposed braking rule would prevent more than 19,000 crashes, save 155 lives, and prevent 8,814 injuries every year. A formal process to develop a rule on speed limiters is scheduled to begin in May. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety said that in truck crashes on roads where the speed limit was identified, almost 40% of deaths in 2019, about 1,500 fatalities, occurred when the posted speed limit was 65 mph or higher. Adler said he hoped the rise in fatalities might be enough for the Trump administration to let the proposed rules take effect. "At a time when truck crash deaths are at some of their highest levels ever, we hope the data will encourage the administration to move ahead," he said. Long time coming Both rules have been decades in the making. The National Transportation Safety Board first recommended automatic emergency braking and speed limiters in 1995. The Transportation Department first said in 2011 that it would look at speed limiters, and proposed a rule requiring them in 2016. Automatic emergency braking joined the agenda in 2015. Safety advocates acknowledge that there could be some delays as the new administration puts its people in place, but said they would not let up on their efforts to see the new safety standards enacted. "A truck crash doesn't count what political affiliation you are," said Peter Kurdock, general counsel for Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, an alliance of consumer, health, law enforcement and insurance industry groups. "There's really a very strong compelling case, whatever your view on regulations, this is a rulemaking that can save a lot of lives and makes a lot of sense." (c)2024 the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Solid-state batteries are poised to revolutionize the car industry, and Honda is inching closer to putting them in their cars, far ahead of many automakers. These types of batteries differ in their makeup from other types, and those differences are an advantage. They're more energy dense, meaning they can store more energy in the same amount of space, or the same amount of energy in a smaller footprint. Solid-state batteries are generally considered safer because they don't use a liquid electrolyte that can leak or catch fire. And, they perform better in high temperatures, which enables faster charging. Honda just completed its first solid-state battery demonstration assembly line (covering approximately 295,000 square feet) at its plant in Tochigi, Japan, to test its mass production process for assembling the batteries. The line has special equipment to verify each production process, including weighing and mixing of materials, coating and roll pressing of assemblies, formation of cells, and construction of the modules. Honda will also be looking at the costs of assembling these new batteries, which, besides the advantages above, are also less expensive to produce. With its roll-pressing technique, similar to how liquid batteries are made, it can increase the density of the solid layers and make continuous pressing possible. The bonding of the electrodes is faster too with the company trying to reduce production time per cell. Honda is also working to reduce the indirect costs of production, including power consumption even though the necessary temperature of building as solid-state batteries are less finicky during production (and usage). The automaker's aim in reducing costs is to pass the saving onto the customer. This could result in the price of battery-electric vehicles reducing to the price of those with other powertrains. Because of its enormous size and widely varying power and off-road equipment in addition to passenger vehicles, Honda plans to amortize the cost of these solid-state cells over millions of units. Though the new battery technology is not set for mass production until the second half of the 2020s, Honda has been working on it for more than a decade. The company says that because of that early research it was able to produce the demonstration line quickly, and is making progress in material selections. "Replacing engines that have been supporting the advancements of automobiles to date, batteries will be the key factor of electrification. We believe that advancement of batteries will be a driving force in the transformation of Honda," Keiji Otsu, President and Representative Director of Honda R&D said in a press release. "Now, the start of operation of our demonstration production line for our all-solid-state batteries is in sight, and we can say that we have reached an important milestone for Honda and the country of Japan. We will continue taking on challenges to launch our mobility products equipped with our all-solid-state batteries as quickly as possible so that Honda can offer new value to our customers." Honda is just one of many automakers in different phases of researching and developing solid-state batteries. BMW and Nissan both have joint development agreements with a U.S.-based battery company Solid Power, with plans to introduce these types of batteries in vehicles before the end of the decade. Stellantis is an investor in Factorial, a company that plans produce an electric Dodge Charger Daytona demonstration car with solid-state batteries by 2026. Volkswagen, Toyota and others have their own deals and have made similar promises on their own timelines.The ever-fluctuating graph of Tesla’s share price resembles the wild highs and lows of a cutting-edge video game’s story arc.

Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister, nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to lead the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), withdrew his name from consideration on Tuesday. In a post on X, Chronister described the nomination as "the honor of a lifetime." "Over the past several days, as the gravity of this very important responsibility set in, I’ve concluded that I must respectfully withdraw from consideration. There is more work to be done for the citizens of Hillsborough County and a lot of initiatives I am committed to fulfilling," Chronister continued. "I sincerely appreciate the nomination, outpouring of support by the American people, and look forward to continuing my service as Sheriff of Hillsborough County." Following Chronister’s withdrawal, rumors began circulating on social media that his nomination was suggested by Pam Bondi, Trump’s pick for attorney general. "I have a feeling Pam Bondi was part of this recommendation to Trump. She should be pulled as well if that is true," one person claimed on X. Another wrote, "Potential that Pam Bondi recommended him. If true, not a good look for her." A third person commented, "Pam Bondi needs to have her nomination withdrawn over that recommendation." As of now, these rumors remain unconfirmed. Pam Bondi replaced Matt Gaetz as Trump's attorney general nominee after Gaetz withdrew his candidacy. A former Florida attorney general, Bondi is the first woman to hold that role in the state. Announcing her nomination, Trump said, "For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans - Not anymore. "Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again. I have known Pam for many years - She is smart and tough, and is an AMERICA FIRST Fighter, who will do a terrific job as Attorney General!"
