I recognize that in my zeal to do everything possible to deliver for my constituents I have in the past fallen short of my own standards and there is no excuse for that,” said Jackson Lee, who has been in Congress since 1995. “To anyone who has listened to this recording with concern, I am regretful and hope you will judge me not by something trotted out by a political opponent, that worked to exploit this,” Jackson Lee said. Sue Davis, a spokesperson for Whitmire, said the state senator’s campaign had nothing to do with the recording. Jackson Lee is one of 18 candidates vying to lead the nation’s fourth-largest city. They are seeking to replace Mayor Sylvester Turner, who has served eight years and can’t run again because of term limits.

Abreu was suspended Saturday by MLB senior vice president Michael Hill, a day after the incident. The reliever appealed, allowing him to pitch in Game 6, and the hearing was held Monday before John McHale Jr., a special assistant to baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred. He was pleased with the resolution since it allows him to pitch this postseason despite the suspension not being reduced. “That was kind of what I was hoping for when I didn’t use him in a down game two innings yesterday,” Baker said.

HOUSTON (AP) — Houston reliever Bryan Abreu has appealed the two-game suspension he was given by Major League Baseball for what the league said was intentionally throwing at Adolis Garcia of the Texas Rangers during Game 5 of the AL Championship Series. Because of the appeal, Abreu will be eligible to pitch in Game 6 on Sunday night, when the Astros can advance to the World Series for a third straight season with a win. MLB said Saturday that all six umpires decided Abreu’s pitch was intentional. Abreu, who was also fined for the incident, is one of Houston's top relievers and has a 1.42 ERA in seven appearances this postseason.

HOUSTON (AP) — The challenges facing Houston’s next mayor are familiar to many big cities: crime, crumbling infrastructure, budget shortfalls and a lack of affordable housing. “This (new) mayor comes along at a time when the city is doing well, though the city faces issues,” said Bob Harvey, president and CEO of the Greater Houston Partnership, a local business group. They highlight what they see as Houston’s failings while touting it as an international city teeming with diversity. Others in contention are former head of Houston’s public transit system Gilbert Garcia, attorney Lee Kaplan, Houston City Councilman Robert Gallegos and former council members Jack Christie and M.J. Khan. The city’s challenges are due in part to its explosive growth over the past decade.

Trump lawyer Sidney Powell has been subject to sanctions and an ongoing disbarment effort. A Texas legal ethics practitioner said this kind of case should lead to "automatic disbarment." Powell flipped on Donald Trump and pleaded guilty to six misdemeanor counts related to the 2020 election in Georgia on Friday morning. Bob Bennett, a Texas lawyer with experience defending other attorneys in disciplinary cases, believes she should finally be disbarred. Financial statements for the group say the only related-party transaction is paying an LLC owned by Powell $120,000 for rent.

ExxonMobil and Pioneer Natural Resources logos are seen in this illustration taken, October 6, 2023. After brief informal conversations earlier this year, Exxon approached Pioneer about a deal last month, the sources said. Exxon's shares were hovering near record highs, and it had a cash pile of about $30 billion. Woods had already capitalized on elevated energy prices to streamline Exxon's operations and focus on highly profitable oil and gas production. This allowed Exxon to enter the deal negotiations with its stock coveted by investors as a valuable currency.

The deal, valued at $253 a share, would be Exxon's biggest since its $81 billion purchase of Mobil Oil in 1998, years before the shale boom began. It combines the largest U.S. oil company with one of the most successful names to emerge from the shale revolution that turned the country into the world's largest oil producer in little more than a decade. Pioneer is the Permian's largest operator accounting for 9% of gross production, while Exxon occupies the No. "The combination of ExxonMobil and Pioneer creates a diversified energy company with the largest footprint of high-return wells in the Permian Basin," said Pioneer CEO Scott Sheffield. Under Sheffield, Pioneer grew through rapid-fire purchases, including multi-billion dollar deals in 2021 for DoublePoint Energy and Parsley Energy.

Known as earthworks, they were shaped by indigenous peoples who lived in the area around 500 to 1,500 years ago. Many Amazonian earthworks that predate the arrival of European colonizers are revealed in deforested areas. Heckenberger, who was not involved in the study, has conducted research in the Brazilian Amazon since the 1990s, working with indigenous peoples of the Xingu region. These findings further demonstrate that the cultural heritage of indigenous peoples in the Americas and elsewhere is “remarkably dynamic and innovative,” he added. So the scientists also mapped 937 known earthworks, instructing the model to highlight locations for potential earthworks that shared similar topographic features with previously detected sites.

In the last four years energy investors have dumped stocks in oil companies that boost capital spending, favoring higher returns over spending on costly, long-term new projects. But Exxon shares last month hit a record high of $120, lifted by returns on its oil, gas and refining businesses. 2 Permian shale oil producer, for $60 billion, signals it is ready to pay up for production after missing its own output targets in the Permian. A deal would bring Exxon to about 1.33 million barrels of oil and gas per day, the largest in the oilfield. It has good reserves, growing production, spending in check and debt at healthy levels, he said.

A civil complaint alleges that federal bankruptcy judge David Jones, who mediated the Tehum bankruptcy, is in a romantic relationship with Elizabeth Freeman, who represented YesCare in the bankruptcy. Van Deelen's case was ultimately "removed" to Jones' bankruptcy court, according to Van Deelen's complaint. The document alleges that, while working the McDermott case, Freeman was Jones' "live-in girlfriend" in a home worth more than a million dollars.

Exxon's snapshot of operating profits, delivered in a securities filing after the market close, signals a good quarter for oil companies on high oil prices and strong demand for gasoline and diesel. Exxon's oil and gas production earnings were boosted by an about 30% increase in average crude oil prices during the period. The securities filing put oil and gas operating profits at between $5.2 billion and $6.7 billion, compared to last year's $12.4 billion in its third-quarter oil and gas business. Refining also slipped to less than half the year ago's $5.8 billion operating profit. Exxon shares fell nearly 4% on Wednesday to $111.50 as oil prices tumbled on a global bond sell-off and rising interest rates.

Sept 28 (Reuters) - U.S. oil producers Exxon Mobil (XOM.N) and Hess Corp (HES.N) have withdrawn from exploring the Kaieteur block in Guyana’s deepwaters, Exxon said on Thursday, after disappointing exploration results. The exit comes as the producers focus on their larger and highly productive Stabroek block, where more than 11 billion barrels of oil and gas have been discovered so far. The companies have transferred their stakes in the block to Ratio Guyana Limited and Cataleya Energy Limited, which originally held the exploration licenses, Exxon said. A consortium composed of Exxon, Hess and CNOOC Ltd (0883.HK) control all offshore production in Guyana through the Stabroek block. Exxon and Hess were among oil companies that submitted bids in an auction for 14 other oil and gas exploration blocks.
