☆ Bizarre weather conditions disrupt tennis match with Andy Murray on brink of defeat
  + stars: | 2024-05-21 | by ( Ben Church | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
CNN —Andy Murray has seen a lot during his glittering career, but even he looked confused at what took place during his match against Yannick Hanfmann at the Geneva Open on Monday. The three-time grand slam champion was trailing by a set and two breaks when the umpire stopped play due to an impending storm. High winds had already disrupted the match, with white pollen from the nearby park blowing over and showering the players during the second set. Having already lost the first set 7-5, Murray was irked by the conditions and complained to umpire Greg ­Allensworth during a change of ends about the decision to keep playing. Yannick Hanfmann had taken a commanding lead over Murray in the match.

☆ What to expect when Google faces the DOJ in the first major tech monopoly trial in decades
  + stars: | 2023-09-11 | by ( Lauren Feiner | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +13 min
While the trial marks the tech sector's first major anti-monopoly proceeding in decades, Google is squarely in the middle of its antitrust battles. What the trial is aboutA key focus of the trial will be on two kinds of agreements Google has made with other companies. "The cases have very compatible theories, and the core message from both is that Google's monopoly power has been abused, harming competition and hurting consumers," Weiser said. Walker wrote that the abundance of places where consumers can use online search shows that Google hasn't foreclosed competition. In addition to experts like economists, expect to see Google executives called to the stand, potentially including CEO Sundar Pichai.

☆ First Drought, Then Flood. Can the West Learn to Live Between Extremes?
  + stars: | 2023-05-31 | by ( Brooke Jarvis | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +5 min
Since New Year’s, storm after storm had pummeled the state, dropping epic quantities of water and snow. Houses and farms and dairies flooded, and people were using excavators to hastily build earthen dikes around their properties. In a valley where powerful interests had long jockeyed for access to water, the arguments were now about who would bear the flood. A froth of brown storm water started to spread toward the houses. Had someone intentionally cut the levee, jeopardizing Allensworth, not to mention someone else’s farm, to save his own?

☆ The UK blocked Microsoft's Activision deal. Here's what it means for U.S. regulators
  + stars: | 2023-04-27 | by ( Lauren Feiner | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
The U.K. Competition and Markets Authority's decision to block Microsoft's proposed acquisition of "Call of Duty" maker Activision means the U.S. does not need to stand alone in its challenge of the massive $69 billion deal. In the latest hurdle for the deal, the CMA argued the acquisition threatens to hurt competition in the nascent cloud gaming market. But it did not challenge potential competition concerns in console gaming, after saying last month that evidence from industry participants convinced the agency that the transaction wouldn't harm competition in that particular market. The FTC claimed the proposed acquisition would likely reduce competition or create monopolies in markets for gaming subscription services, cloud gaming and high-performance consoles. WATCH: Microsoft-Activision deal collapse a 'discouraging' move for Big Tech, says former FTC commissioner
☆ California Braces for More Flooding When Record Snowpack Melts

ALLENSWORTH, Calif.—Ray Strong looked up at the Sierra Nevada range in its magnificent mantle of snow—and frowned. “Once that water starts flowing, you can’t stop it,” said Mr. Strong, 66 years, as he mowed his lawn in early April in the flatlands of California’s Central Valley.
☆ A long-dormant lake has reappeared in California, bringing havoc along with it

David Swanson | ReutersPeople have worked for a century to make California's Tulare Basin into a food grower's paradise. The Tulare Basin is at the southern end of California's San Joaquin Valley — and in essence, it's a massive bowl. Before irrigators dug canals and rerouted water for farming in the late 1800s, Tulare Lake filled the bowl's lower reaches. Today, the irrigation system is designed to "use every single drop of water" that flows into the basin, Mount said. Tulare Lake refilled in 1997 and 1983 during very wet seasons.
☆ California braces for next bout of heavy rain, snow and high winds

High-wind warnings and advisories were posted for a vast region stretching from the Mexico border through Los Angeles to the San Francisco Bay area. The National Weather Service (NWS) issued an excessive- rainfall notice for much of the Southern California coast, warning of an at least a 40% chance of showers exceeding flash-flood conditions. Heavy showers began drenching the Los Angeles region before dawn and triggered some street flooding but tapered off by early afternoon. Up to 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) of rain was expected in coastal regions and valleys of Southern California, and as much as 6 inches in lower mountains and foothills, the NWS said.

☆ Analysis: Google faces greater threat of forced ad unit sale from U.S. lawsuit

[1/2] The logo for Google LLC is seen at the Google Store Chelsea in Manhattan, New York City, U.S., November 17, 2021. The complaint filed Tuesday in a Virginia federal court by the U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division attempts to compel Google to sell part of its advertising technology unit. The suit mirrors allegations in another antitrust case brought against Google in New York federal court by a Texas-led coalition of 17 states in 2020. In the states' case, a New York federal judge in September rejected Google’s bid to dismiss it entirely. Google also faces two largely parallel antitrust lawsuits by states and the federal government alleging unlawful dominance in online searching.
☆ The DOJ's antitrust case against Google is ambitious but risky

But alongside the possibility of great reward comes significant risk in seeking to push the boundaries of antitrust law. "All antitrust cases are an uphill battle for plaintiffs, thanks to 40 years of case law," said Rebecca Haw Allensworth, an antitrust professor at Vanderbilt Law School. But, Allensworth added, the government's challenges may be different than those in many other antitrust cases. Like all antitrust cases, this one is unlikely to be concluded anytime soon. "This is clearly the blockbuster case so far from the DOJ antitrust division," Francis said.
☆ Key Tests Loom in 2023 for U.S. Antitrust Enforcers

The Federal Trade Commission, in Washington, is challenging Microsoft’s proposed acquisition of videogame maker Activision. WASHINGTON—The U.S. government’s aggressive approach to antitrust enforcement faces key tests in 2023, with rulings expected in several high-profile cases against Silicon Valley technology giants. The Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission have in recent years adopted a “high-risk legal strategy” of bringing difficult cases that push the boundaries of antitrust law, said Rebecca Allensworth , a professor at Vanderbilt Law School.
