OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas couple has been charged with fraudulently collecting more than $215,000 in retirement benefits on behalf of a dead relative while they concealed his body inside their home for six years. Prosecutors say Lynn Ritter and Kirk Ritter, both 61, continued depositing and spending from Carroll's bank account even while his body became “mummified” on a bed in the home he owned. Lynn Ritter is Carroll's daughter. The couple is due to appear in federal court to face several charges on Feb. 2. But bank records from that time showed checks being written from his bank account and cashed by Lynn and Kirk Ritter.

[1/5] Solar panels from SunPower are installed on residential buildings at a model home display in the Eureka Grove neighborhood of Granite Bay, California, U.S., October 5, 2021. But global solar panel prices have collapsed due to a wave of new Asian production capacity in recent months, leading many in the U.S. solar industry to worry many of these proposed factories may be uneconomical. U.S. officials have repeatedly warned that over-reliance on Chinese clean energy technology could pose a security risk similar to Europe's historical dependence on Russian natural gas. A White House spokesperson did not respond to questions about recent market challenges facing domestic solar manufacturers, but said Biden's policies had generated a huge wave of investment and were revitalizing American manufacturing. Mike Carr, executive director of the Solar Energy Manufacturers for America trade group, said factories could be delayed, extending U.S. dependence on China.

That's almost 40% of U.S. solar panel capacity, according to figures from the Solar Energy Industries Association. Political Cartoons View All 1211 ImagesIndustry jitters about a flood of cheap solar panels from overseas show how dependent on federal policy the solar industry remains. Even with that boost, solar industry leaders warn, factories will struggle to compete with a new spike in cheap Asian imports. They're again urging federal officials to investigate whether solar panels are being dumped at unfairly low prices. Politics envelops the solar industry.

The social media platform Twitter rebranded to X, Elon Musk announced last week. It's been a whirlwind week for Twitter, or X — whatever you decide to call it now. But Elon Musk, long obsessed with the idea of a brand named X, trudged on in the face of disapproval from users. He said that the risky move could inject newfound excitement and interest into the social media company. "I would never bet against Elon Musk," Carr said.

New York CNN —A combination of NASCAR equipment, recycled glass and police escorts helped reopen the repaired portion of I-95 in Philadelphia way ahead of schedule. Six lanes reopened to motorists at noon on Friday, 12 days after a bridge collapsed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Gov. Its original facility is in a town outside of Philadelphia – Filshill grew up in Northeast Philadelphia. The crew worked throughout the holiday weekend to fill the gap up to surface level using the glass, Shapiro said, thanking the Philadelphia Building Trades. Aero Aggregates used the glass in other Pennsylvania projects, including the Philadelphia Navy Yard, a press release from Shapiro said.

The company that owns the truck has been in contact with officials and is complying with state police, officials said. Buttigieg has said his agency is prepared to help local officials swiftly address the extensive disruption caused by the collapse. A view of the aftermath of the collapse of a part of I-95 highway in Philadelphia Sunday in this still image obtained from a social media video. Shortly before the collapse, Mark Fusetti was driving south on I-95 in Philadelphia and began filming when he saw plumes of dark smoke. The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority also said it added extra capacity and service to other transportation routes and was evaluating all options to assist travelers as they work around the highway collapse.

No injuries or fatalities from the highway collapse have been reported. But it remained unclear whether anyone was caught in the burning commercial tanker truck, which was carrying a petroleum-based product. The truck was still trapped under the collapsed highway Sunday afternoon, Pennsylvania Gov. Kena Betancur/AFP/Getty ImagesThe commercial tanker truck caught fire around 6:20 a.m., causing a section of the overhead northbound I-95 highway to collapse atop the truck, authorities said. “In order to accommodate travel through the city and region following the I-95 collapse, SEPTA will provide added capacity and Service.

CNN —A section of northbound I-95 in Philadelphia that collapsed after a tanker truck caught fire underneath the highway Sunday morning could take months to repair, snarling regional commutes and cutting off a major East Coast artery, Pennsylvania officials said. The commercial tanker truck, which was carrying a petroleum-based product, is still trapped under the collapsed highway, Pennsylvania Gov. The destroyed portion of the highway is “likely the busiest interstate in the commonwealth,” seeing around 160,000 vehicles daily, according to Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Secretary Mike Carroll.

The law is viewed as a watershed for domestic solar manufacturing, which has struggled for years to compete with a flood of cheap imports from China. Since passage of the IRA, companies have announced more than $13 billion in U.S. factory investments, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA). According to Treasury's proposed guidelines, the manufactured products in a typical solar energy facility would include modules, trackers and inverters. But solar cells account for about 30% of the costs of the products that make up a solar facility, making them a large piece of the puzzle. The top solar trade group, Solar Energy Industries Association, had proposed that panels assembled in the United States should qualify for the credit regardless of where the cells inside them are produced.
[1/2] Solar panels are set up in the solar farm at the University of California, Merced, in Merced, California, U.S. August 17, 2022. Their main question: will solar panels qualify if they are assembled in the United States using components made overseas? In February, top U.S. solar manufacturer First Solar Inc (FSLR.O) said it would delay further expansion decisions until Treasury releases its guidelines. A manufacturing group, Solar Energy Manufacturers for America (SEMA), said both manufacturers and developers want clear rules that will fuel growth. A potential approach could be to allow the bonus credit to apply to domestically available goods, with that standard changing over a set timeline.
A family of 6 in Buffalo was left without power and stranded on the road before Christmas. Firefighters came to rescue them and other motorists, and the family stayed at the firehouse. The oldest child got a firefighter uniform, and firefighters scrambled to get them presents. Since the family was going to spend Christmas Eve to Christmas morning at the firehouse, it was crucial that Santa was able to find them. The experience of deadly snowstorm-turned-nontraditional Christmas celebration left its mark on both the firefighters and family.
