Gwyneth Paltrow won't recoup attorney fees in ski crash suit

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:06:44 GMT

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Gwyneth Paltrow will not recoup the attorneys' fees she paid to successfully defend herself against a lawsuit from a 76-year-old retired optometrist who claimed she was at fault for crashing into him at a posh Utah ski resort in 2016.In a ruling published on Saturday, a Utah judge said attorneys for Paltrow and Terry Sanderson had agreed to drop the matter of Paltrow's attorneys' fees. District Court Judge Kent Holmberg's final judgement did not detail why the matter of attorneys' fees that Paltrow sought in her 2019 countersuit was dropped.The judgement affirmed the jury's unanimous verdict finding Terry Sanderson — the man who collided with Paltrow — to be “100% at fault," awarding Paltrow the $1 she sought in a countersuit. It also said Sanderson would not appeal the verdict, effectively ending a protracted legal battle seven years after the two crashed on a beginner run near the base of Deer Valley Resort in Utah.Representatives for both...

The Arctic is becoming foggy as sea ice melts

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:06:44 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) — For decades now, sea ice in the Arctic continues to melt as our climate continues to warm from greenhouse gas emissions. As sea ice and snow melt, less solar radiation is being reflected back into space and is instead now absorbed at the surface.This is called a 'Positive Feedback Loop' where warming causes ice to melt and then that melting causes further warming. Because of this, the Arctic is actually warming roughly two times faster than the rest of the globe.One "benefit" of sea ice loss however has been the increased amount of cargo ships that have been more freely able to sail through the Arctic as shipping channels open. The Trans-Arctic route for example runs from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean through the Arctic Ocean. This used to be a nearly impossible route without heavy icebreakers attached to the ships. But now with less and less sea ice, Trans-Arctic shipping has increased, tremendously reducing travel time, increasing shipping time and reducing the...

Marine who volunteered in Ukraine, survived rocket attack: ‘I would do it again’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:06:44 GMT

In the dark, there was a staccato beat of sound — a thundering, unplaceable boom. Then there was the pain, sudden and unyielding.Giovanni Roman was hit.It was just before midnight on a frigid February evening in the eastern Donetsk region of Ukraine when the 29-year-old Marine veteran from Garden Grove, California, was struck by an enemy Russian rocket while inside a Humvee on the frontlines.Blood soaked through his vest. Pain electrified him. The impact shattered part of Roman’s skull, claimed his right eye, and jettisoned shrapnel into his arm and hand. But somehow, Roman stayed awake. He remembers it all.“I’ve always believed as a man you should be willing to die for something,” Roman said. “I have no problem dying helping someone out and helping the defenseless — and that is exactly what was going on there.”The hours leading up to the attack were as normal as they could be in the embattled country, where Roman volunteered twice as a medic and soldier.On a second trip that began ...

Joel Eriksson Ek logged less than 20 seconds of ice time in the playoffs.After making his highly anticipated return in Game 3 of the first-round series between the Wild and Dallas Stars, the 26-year-old center left the ice midway through the first shift.Though it was clear at that time that Eriksson Ek played through a major injury, he confirmed Monday that he suffered a broken leg while blocking a shot in an April 6 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. He had surgery on his fibula shortly after leaving Game 3 against the Stars.Asked how helpless of a feeling it was to leave the ice, Eriksson Ek hung his head in disappointment before answering.“It sucks,” he said. “You play a whole season and then right before playoffs you get hurt.”He suffered the broken leg blocking a slap shot from Penguins star Evgeni Malkin. The pain took over immediately and even if Eriksson Ek knew he probably wasn’t going to be 100 percent in the playoffs, he attacked the recovery p...
