The U.S. power grid, much of it built nearly a century ago, is being strained by storms, floods and heat waves fueled by climate change even as electric vehicles and artificial intelligence are boosting power demand, Granholm told reporters in a call. In 2021, the Texas grid collapsed during a cold spell, killing more than 200 people and leaving millions of homes without power. The projects will help bring more than 35 gigawatts of new electricity onto the grid from wind and solar and other renewable power and invest in 400 microgrids, or self sufficient energy systems, the Department of Energy (DOE) said. It was the first round of selections under the broader $10.5 billion grid resilience and innovation partnerships program managed by DOE. In southeastern Pennsylvania, PECO Energy (PECI.UL) will boost grid reliability and resilience through substation flood mitigation, replacing aging infrastructure, and deploying battery systems for backup power.

☆ The Ivy League donor backlash is a PR nightmare, and that’s the point

Donors understand as well as anyone that pulling their funds won’t inflict significant financial damage on Ivy League institutions, which boast huge endowments, my colleague Nathaniel Meyersohn reports. But he said that financial threats from donors were not the right solution to influencing universities’ positions on these issues. At 5 million subscribers paying $3.99 a month, Snapchat+ is set to earn around $239 million in annual revenue. Still, analysts are intrigued by Snap’s user growth, especially for a company that’s been around for over a decade. “In my view, there’s significant value for a company that’s growing its installed base at this level,” said Angelo Zino, senior equity analyst at CFRA Research.

Donors often give for specific purposes — facilities, faculty research, technology on campus, athletics, scholarships and financial aid for low-income students. The Wexner Foundation said it’s breaking off ties with Harvard University, alleging the school has been “tiptoeing” over Hamas’ attacks. Lawrence Summers, the former president of Harvard and US Treasury Secretary, has criticized the “morally unconscionable” student statement and Harvard leaders’ response. But he said that financial threats from donors were not the right solution to influencing universities’ positions on these issues. Organizers of the Palestine Writes festival denied that it embraced antisemitism, according to UPenn student newspaper The Daily Pennsylvanian.

☆ Mediterranean diet and exercise reduce dangerous belly fat, study says
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-18 | by ( Sandee Lamotte | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

In addition to a loss of overall body fat, participants in the study lost dangerous visceral belly fat, which could lead to diabetes, heart disease and stroke. If visceral fat is about 10% of your body’s total fat mass, that’s normal and healthy, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Too much visceral fat, however, can create inflammation, contributing to chronic disease. A lower-calorie Mediterranean diet could include proteins such as salmon, chicken breast and tuna, as well as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes and olive oil. However, “only participants from the intervention group decreased grams of visceral fat mass,” while visceral fat mass remained unchanged in the control group, according to the study.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson will have season-ending shoulder surgery, coach Shane Steichen said Wednesday. Richardson, the fourth overall pick in the April NFL draft, suffered a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder at the end of a short run against Tennessee on Oct. 8. He stayed down for several minutes before walking slowly to the team’s medical tent, his right shoulder drooping. Richardson did not return to that 23-16 victory and went on injured reserve last week. He threw for 577 yards, three TDs and one interception while completing 59.7% of his throws in four games.

Since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger, those two teams were the only ones ever to go undefeated during the regular season. Jets stun Eagles for Philly’s first defeatThe New York Jets had been down on their luck and the Philadelphia Eagles were undefeated and slowly improving after a slow start. Jets head coach Robert Saleh was blunt in his assessment after the game about the impact his defense was having on opposition teams. Frank Jansky/Icon Sportswire/Getty ImagesBills survive scareIt wasn’t convincing, but the Buffalo Bills maintained their strong start to the season with a narrow 14-9 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday night. “It’s an ugly win, but it counts the same as a pretty win,” Bills star Allen told NBC’s Melissa Stark after the game.

The Eagles (5-1) got one more chance to win when they got the ball back, but the defense stiffened — as it had all game. Hurts finished 28 of 45 for 280 yards and one touchdown but had three picks against a Jets defense that was missing starting cornerbacks Sauce Gardner and D.J. By rule, only the player who lost the ball could recover the forward fumble in the end zone, so it was ruled that it was the Jets' ball on the 1. The Eagles took advantage of some poor tackling by the Jets in the second quarter.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The New Hampshire presidential primary filing period starts Wednesday, a ritual unruffled by either a changing of the guard or changes to the nominating calendar elsewhere. They need only meet the basic requirements to be president, fill out a one-page form and pay a $1,000 filing fee. But he wouldn’t be the first reelection-seeking incumbent missing from the primary ballot: President Lyndon Johnson won the 1968 Democratic primary as a write-in, though a shockingly strong-second place showing by Sen. Eugene McCarthy helped push him out of the race. Scanlan, who served as deputy secretary of state for 20 years, said he was excited to welcome candidates starting Wednesday. “That was Bill’s style, and he was really, really good at it.”

Hamas was surprised by the success of its attack in Israel, a Hamas leader told the Associated Press. Hamas' attacks show Israeli intelligence failed to predict an offensive from Gaza, experts said. "We were surprised by this great collapse," Ali Barakeh, a member of Hamas' exiled leadership, said, per the news agency. On Saturday, Hamas fighters launched a surprise sea, air, and ground offensive that seemingly caught Israeli intelligence off guard , according to military analysts. Shortly after Hamas launched its attack, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared a "state of war," with the stated goal of eliminating the militant group.

☆ Supreme Court tax case could have sweeping federal policy effects, experts say

As the Supreme Court starts a new term, experts are closely watching a case that could have sweeping effects on the U.S. tax code, including corporate revenue and future wealth tax proposals. The plaintiffs are fighting taxes on earnings that weren't distributed to them by arguing about the definition of income, which could have broader implications, according to policy experts. Designed as a transition tax, the legislation required a one-time levy on earnings and profits accumulated in foreign entities after 1986. While the 16th Amendment outlines the legal definition of income, the Moore case questions whether individuals must "realize" or receive profits before incurring taxes. It's an issue that has been raised during past federal billionaire tax debates and could affect future proposals.

New York CNN —Corporate America is breathing a sigh of relief after lawmakers narrowly avoided a chaotic shutdown of the federal government. Business leaders and economists had warned a shutdown would have hurt the economy by causing vast uncertainty, significant disruptions and hurting confidence. But then House Speaker Kevin McCarthy abruptly shifted course and moved to pass a bill with support from Democrats. The Chamber commended lawmakers who voted to keep the government open on a bipartisan basis and called for Congress to finish the job. Gardner noted that there will likely be a move to remove McCarthy as speaker and another potential budget standoff ahead of November 17.

☆ UK house prices fall by 5.3% in 12 months to September - Nationwide
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-02 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

LONDON, Oct 2 (Reuters) - British house prices in September were 5.3% lower than a year earlier, matching their fall in August which was the biggest annual drop since 2009, figures from mortgage lender Nationwide showed on Monday. In month-on-month terms, prices were unchanged in September after a 0.8% fall in August, Nationwide said. Britain's housing market has slowed as borrowing costs mount, but the fall in house prices so far remains much less marked than their jump of about 25% between the start of the coronavirus pandemic and September last year. The combination of rising wages and lower house prices and mortgage rates would probably improve affordability in the housing market over time although it was set to remain subdued in the interim, he said. Transaction volumes for flats were holding up better than other property types, possibly reflecting how prices for smaller homes did not rise as much during the pandemic, Nationwide said.
