There are a few names that pop into my head when I think of the sport of BMX and its legends. Besides Gary Turner, Bob Haro is one of the first to pop into my noggin. And he’s not done yet. Recently, he announced a new frameset for his brand, IKONIX Bikes. It’s called the FS1 and it looks to be a modern take on a Haro freestyle frame The frame and fork are limited to a run of 100 units You can even pick what serial number you want between 1 and 100 There will be a 50% deposit needed to reserve the number you want As long as it’s not number 1 through 16 So if you have a certain number you want to nail down Did you know that Bob Haro was one of the stunt riders in the iconic BMX chase scene in the movie E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial? No? Well, it’s pretty cool. Check it out HERE let’s talk about IKONIX Bikes before jumping into the details of the FS1 and arguably the inventor of BMX Flatland Freestyle IKONIX combines Bob’s innovative spirit and long-time experience to deliver premium bicycles and accessories IKONIX aims to provide a product that will stand up to the performance needs of today’s riders The launch of the FS1 frameset marks the beginning of IKONIX Bikes and they have a full lineup of BMX products including more IKONIX bikes and apparel that is set to be released this Summer and each will be built with 100% chromoly steel The frame features signature hydroformed down and fork tubes Bob says it’s “an homage to my first freestyle bike but fully modern.” The first 100 frames will be numbered with a special signature plaque The FS1s are supposed to ship “no later than August 15 when you will be charged the remaining balance You will receive regular updates on the production of your FS1 IKONIXBikes.com Ron Frazelle is the Cycling Lifestyle Editor for Bikerumor he has been writing about bicycles and the cycling way of life for 7+ years Frazelle is an avid cyclist of all disciplines Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_2" ).setAttribute( "value" This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

Riding the Rivette in this paint scheme felt like an act of defiance. Only a few folks seemed to dig the paint scheme, and they all seemed to have fond memories of Haro’s peak decades ago I’m not sure anyone expected the company most associated with mag wheels and chromed BMX frames from the 80s to come out with a new road bike, much less a new gravel bike to match I think this Rivette is better than it has any right to be perhaps the defining characteristic of the Haro Rivette road bike isn’t necessarily how it rides or the value for money in this build especially I think it’s the name on the downtube that works its darndest to define this latest road bike I’m not sure anyone else would do that paint scheme.” this bike is more than the name on the downtube Haro says that the Rivette was designed completely from the ground up using the expertise of its road product director, Lasse Norman Leth (nee Norman Hansen) There are some serious accolades behind the name as a multi-time Olympic track cycling medalist and pro cyclist up until recently You don’t need to be an Olympian to design a bike but it certainly gives it some credibility with the paint ensuring the bike looks far from generic The head tube doesn’t have the narrowness of many a modern race road bike and while the fork has a capped end hiding the dropout A look at the downtube reveals a fairly big downtube taking advantage of that T47 threaded bottom bracket area Take a look behind that and the chain stays are similarly beefy to boot It all looks quite impressive from first glance A closer look reveals some interesting touches The area that the seat post wedge uses to clamp against the seat post is smaller than I would like and the M5 bolt it uses might encourage some overtorquing of the wedge itself Bar widths seem properly modern for folks looking for a fast road bike going narrower than you’d think in just about every size And tire widths are wider than you’d think too While the drive side of the front dropout is covered and hid away there’s a SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) a somewhat uncommon choice on road bikes with chainstays as short as this It should prove to offer simple derailleur hanger replacement at local bike shops Haro calls this version of the Rivette the ‘Top Shelf’, which nets a Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 drivetrain, Vision Metron 45 SL wheels, a Blktec one-piece carbon bar and stem, a top-end Selle San Marco saddle, and a pair of 30 mm wide Vittoria Corsa Pro Control tires Its all befitting a bike called the Top Shelf so long as you’re looking for something that leans toward being a racier road bike The Rivette is defined by its long front end When paired with the 62 to 58 cm trail figures across sizes the Rivette geo chart promises handling that isn’t quite as razor-sharp as a race bike That longer front center is paired with relatively short 408 mm chainstay figures easily one of the shortest chainstay lengths of any bike with a SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) Keeping it short should result in a bike that feels responsive under pedaling If you dig riding with a low setback or zero-setback seat post you’ll probably love the geometry of this Rivette Other things of note here are that Haro offers the Rivette in six sizes (from 48 cm to 61 cm) You’ll likely need to consider sizing down as the 51 cm bike seen here was decidedly on the big side of things compared to other bikes in that size The pick of the bunch has to be the Rivette Carbon 3 with its 105 Di2 drivetrain and carbon wheels It uses the same frame as the other models but brings in a two-piece handlebar and stem and RED models still fill the spec sheet for the price they don’t stick out quite as much as the 105 Di2-equipped bike It is worth noting that while the Rivette Carbon 1 and Rivette Carbon 2 use a compact 50-34t chainring and 11-34T cassette combo the Rivette Top Shelf and Rivette LTD bikes use decidedly racier gearing but a concession that the user base is a bit different between the build kits I don’t think the Haro Rivette is at the same level as the best road bikes out there It doesn’t quite have the balanced smoothness of a Cannondale Supersix Evo or Trek Madone 8 It’s not quite as light as the Specialized Tarmac and it doesn’t have that same endless feeling of speed that the likes of a Canyon Aeroad has It checks just about every box you can think of on a spec sheet and the bike itself feels generally ready for anything on the road I feel like the reason one chooses the Rivette over the competition is its value for money There’s nothing lacking on this Dura-Ace-equipped bike but even the 105 Di2-equipped bike has about everything one could want from a road bike An equivalent build from the big brands is more expensive and the same goes for the Canyon Aeroad and Ultimate both of which cost more and have alloy wheels rather than carbon I don’t think the Rivette has any one standout characteristic I mean that in the best way possible; it’s just very well-rounded There’s hardly any perceivable flex when riding and the classic “push your foot against the pedals” test for bottom bracket stiffness shows the frame to be surprisingly stout If you’re heavier-set or you dig a particularly stiff frame I wouldn’t call the bike necessarily uncomfortable as a result of its stiffness There’s not a ton of smoothness in the bars or the seat post Haro’s decision to spec a 30 mm wide tire front and rear is a great mix for this bike It balances out that stiffness with good small bump compliance We suspect more road bikes in the near future will adopt 30 mm tires What surprises about this bike is how the longer front center seems to affect the bike in the real world The long front center results in a bike means the front wheel feels at its best the faster it goes; there’s lots of stability here but it doesn’t quite have the turn-in of the race road bikes out there It also means the bike really feels at its best on long where it feels quite stable and unbothered by cracks in the road I didn’t find it so long that it couldn’t corner at speed I think this bike’s handling is better suited for a road racing-type situation but I wouldn’t hesitate to race in a criterium with it I suspect you’ll appreciate how the Rivette handles I’m a fan of the Blktec one-piece carbon bar here I like the backsweep of the tops which felt natural and a comfortable place to be on an extended climb The drops could perhaps a bit more comfort but I dig the out sweep and flare in the lower area Haro specs a 38 cm wide bar on my size 51 cm bike which is bang on for what most folks looking at this build will want I found the seat post needed the max torque figure as well as a huge helping of carbon paste to prevent it from creaking The paint felt rough in a couple of small places but that’s not the first time I’ve experienced that on a modern bike The computer mount–a universal shape with tons of adjustability to its length–was more than twice the weight of the computer mounts found on the Black inc Aero Barstem and Roval Rapide Cockpit The same goes for the Selle San Marco Shortfit Carbon FX saddle and it happens to work well with the bars I like to use there isn’t much to complain about here so long as you dig the paint scheme the Rivette is also available in a gold and black color with a huge block text Haro logo I’m not sure how much value there is in the Haro name at least for the people who I think would really dig the core elements of this bike conquering BMX with the first freestyle BMX frame Bike companies tend toward muted and simple schemes because that’s what sells on the floor I did find a few people with whom this bike seemed to click They were around for Haro’s hayday and they rode the fast race road bikes that are popular today The Rivette seemed to really appeal to them but only once I showed them the more muted rose gold and black colorway Haro says it’s planning an alloy version of this bike as well as a time trial bike in an effort to really get back into racing Here’s to hoping Haro can find a new group of people the brand really resonates with The question I regularly came away from with the Haro Rivette is why I would want to spend anything more The bike might lack the ultimate polish of the best road bikes out there This Dura-Ace build feels like great value for money as it checks every box I could want from a road bike in 2024 I really think the things I liked the most about this bike–its excellent chassis stiffness the stable handling–are all preserved in the 105 Di2 bike I think I’d spend more because I want a brand I resonate with the bike you ride can be a vanity play at some level I suspect I’d want a brand that feels like it comes closer to my values on the bike Regardless of how you feel about the brand What’s it like to be an American cyclist living in France Watch to get professional road cyclist Joe Dombrowski’s view Jose Antonio Haro Reyes successfully defended his Ph.D and he completed his bachelor's degree in Animal Science at Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina (UNALM) in Peru "Role of microbial dysbiosis on the anti-colitic activity of 3-deoxyflavonoids and 3-hydroxyflavonoids" Jose's research aimed to find out if human microbiota from patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) could prevent or enhance the anti-inflammatory activity of dietary flavonoids in an IL-10 KO mouse model The study results suggested that human-associated microbiota impacted the anti-inflammatory activity of dietary flavonoids in an individual-dependent way This means that the unique microbial composition of each individual could potentially allow or limit the activity of flavonoids Jose's advisor was Dr. Lavanya Reddivari. Other members of his gradate committee included Dr. Bruce Hamaker, Dr. Tim Johnson, and Dr. Kee-Hong Kim Jose says he chose Purdue Food Science because "Purdue is prestigious in the field and one of the top 100 universities in the world." Jose recommends Purdue Food Science to prospective graduate students research facilities and possibilities of networking are key elements of the program that will provide the skills and connections needed for professional success the international student environment provides a unique experience for culture exchange in a widely diverse community." Jose received a couple of awards during his time at Purdue Food Science including the B.J Liska Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award from Purdue Food Science and 2nd place in the 2023 Young Investigators Underrepresented in Nutrition Award from The American Society for Nutrition Jose is working as Principal Researcher at the Caprine Project at INIA in Peru he is collaborating with researchers on studies related to nutrition in caprine production systems He is also designing a project to research bioactive compounds from unconventional animal food sources how they improve the nutritional and functional quality of animal products for human consumption Trouble with this page?

and mid-infrared light with the NIRCam and MIRI instruments provide detailed clues about how young stars form and how their jet activity affects the environment around them A chance alignment in this direction of the sky provides a beautiful juxtaposition of this nearby Herbig-Haro object (located within our Milky Way) with a more distant Protostars are young stars in the process of formation that generally launch narrow jets of material These jets move through the surrounding environment in some cases extending to large distances away from the protostar Like the water wake generated by a speeding boat the arcs in this image are created by the fast-moving jet slamming into surrounding dust and gas This ambient material is compressed and heats up then cools by emitting light at visible and infrared wavelengths the infrared light captured here by Webb highlights molecular hydrogen and carbon monoxide The galaxy that appears by happenstance at the tip of Herbig-Haro 49/50 is a much more distant spiral galaxy It has a prominent central bulge represented in blue that shows the location of older stars It also displays hints of 'side lobes,' suggesting that this could be a barred-spiral galaxy Reddish clumps within the spiral arms show the locations of warm dust and groups of forming stars In the image background there are many more galaxies at further distances including galaxies that shine through the diffuse infrared glow of the nearby Herbig-Haro object [Image description: Angled from the upper left corner to the lower right corner of the image is a

BMX roots fleshing out its product line with new aluminum-framed full suspension mountain bikes last year and new e-bikes and other adult models being introduced at Sea Otter next month At the CABDA West trade show that opened here Wednesday Haro is showing some new models while also promoting a program that locks in pre-tariff pricing on its Shredder coaster-brake juvenile bikes for retailers who commit before the end of March Haro, which is about 48 years old, began its transition about 24 months ago, adding new staff as it expanded its product line all at a time when the retail bike industry has been struggling with oversupply and declining margins "We joke that nobody likes pushing a boulder uphill more than Haro Bikes," said James Ayres, who has been with Haro since 2007 and was promoted to director of North American sales in 2023 Ayres said Haro has slowly added back some U.S dealers who left the brand during the pandemic either new or returning to the brand," Ayres said The brand also has been adding new dealers in Europe as its expanded its line Haro introduced a line of high-end carbon road and gravel bikes last year which it supports in part by sponsoring domestic road racing athletes and teams "The goal was to fill in the range to be a complete supplier at the performance level," Haro's Chief Marketing Officer Megan Tompkins told BRAIN in an interview in early March one of the things that we discovered very quickly was that we needed to show how legitimate we were in that category," Tompkins added "So we've put a lot of emphasis on bringing on some really legit teams across the country." the BMX community grew concerned the brand was moving away from its roots But the company said it remains committed to BMX and plans a major refresh of its BMX line this July "It was never in place of what we've internally referred to as 'Haro 1.0,'" said Ayres the goal with this entire initiative that we've embarked on over the last 24 months was solely to become a more well-rounded line To be a player in categories where we had never played before but not to forsake anything that we've built a foundation on." to be hit with increased tariffs this year which will mean increased wholesale pricing The company is moving some more production out of China to Malaysia and Taiwan but also offering retailers the opportunity to lock in wholesale pricing on Shredders at pre-tariff pricing if they commit to a program by the end of March we're going to have to pass some of this tariff burden along to the retailer and ultimately along to the end user," said Ayres 'pre-book,' because that has become a dirty word in the industry right now 'if you order now we will grandfather you in to pre-tariff wholesale pricing,'" he said He said the program offers up to keystone margins on "bread-and-butter" bikes It allows retailers to structure shipments between April 1 and Sept allowing them to set up for the holiday season at the current pricing He said the program will help dealers combat some expected consumer sticker shock later this year "We see these insane deals finally slowly starting to dry up (across the industry) and then when you mix in this tariff implication we're really going to be telling consumers but now you're paying 25 or 30% more for it then you would have a year ago .. I feel like there's going to be a bit of a system shock that the general public is going to go through .. Haro's Shredder Margin Stretcher program shows wholesale pricing and MSRPs increasing from 9-17% on April 1 The new pricing structure puts dealer margin at about 42% on these models while locking in the current pricing and selling at the new MSRP would produce margins of 47-50% Download the 2019 Industry Directory Read the 2021 Sales Training Guide Please select what you would like included for printing: Copy the text below and then paste that into your favorite email application earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from Florida State University She dedicated her career to pediatric nursing at the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta adventurous and courageous person who would bring a smile to anyone that was in her presence she was definitely a woman of her own mind and spending quality time with her family.       Funeral services will be 3 pm  The family visitation will be from 2 pm until service time  Burial will follow in the Rose Lawn Cemetery with Rose Lawn Funeral Home directing  The family is requesting memorial donations be made to Mrs Sandra's Haro's Zelle account or Apple Pay 850.816.5567 in Christine's name  The donations will be used to purchase books for the Navarre High School Library  The books purchased will be the Percy Jackson series and the Harry Potter series.         Christine is preceded in death by her GG Nell Mort       Surviving Christine are her devoted parents Florida; her best friend Kimi Stuckey of Zama California; numerous aunties and uncles from Florida and California and an outpouring of love from her cousins      Christine peacefully passed away surrounded by her loving family and devoted friends.  Enter your phone number above to have directions sent via text This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply Service map data © OpenStreetMap contributors a global leader in media intelligence and communications solutions today announced the sale of its Help A Reporter Out (HARO) platform to Featured.com Originally launched in 2008 and acquired by Cision through its merger with Vocus in 2014 HARO provided a long-standing service connecting journalists with expert sources The sale of HARO reflects Cision's continued focus on strengthening and investing in its core product suite "Cision confirms that it no longer offers the Help A Reporter Out or Connectively services as part of its product suite," said Jim Daxner Chief Product Officer & Head of Strategy at Cision "We are focused on advancing our core platforms — CisionOne and PRN — which are critical to delivering powerful integrated communications solutions for our customers."

Earlier this year, Cision folded the classic HARO into Connectively Cision did not respond to a request for comment about changes to the product raise a glass and say goodbye to what it was,” he said of the email He never anticipated receiving more than 2,000 replies many of them urging him to bring back HARO in his own style Then his fate was sealed when his girlfriend came up with the perfect name: HERO, or Help Every Reporter Out “I’ll never forgive her for this,” he joked Shankman wants you to know that he never wanted to revive HARO “On the premise that you can’t go home again,” he said wistfully He’s relaunched his daily emails under the HERO banner He attributes that success to both the simplicity of the idea — “email is the killer app and always has been” — and the trust that his audience has in him “People know me well enough or trust me to know that I’m not going to start charging,” Shankman said  “I’m not going to start calling you 10 times a day and ask you to buy other services And that’s all I’ve ever done.” If people feel inclined to help, he does request donations to Best Friends Animal Society or The NYC Mayor’s Alliance for Animals But for all practical intents and purposes But Shankman said he has already received several sponsorship offers he said he’s learned a lot in the 14 years since he sold HARO the attraction of selling a company for the sake of selling a company making a few bucks isn’t as strong,” he said he wants it to be one that has a place for him to join and grow He’s currently working on tools to limit people who might exploit HERO to get free products while preserving access to journalists of all stripes it’s clear that this is a labor of love for him who still speaks optimistically about trying to go home again if I come back and I can help make journalism and public relations a more symbiotic and beneficial relationship for both Learn more about today’s media landscape during PR Daily’s Media Relations Conference Allison Carter is editor-in-chief of PR Daily.

Using the NIRCam and MIRI instruments onboard the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have produced a high-resolution image of Herbig-Haro object 49/50 (HH 49/50) which is located about 630 light-years away in the constellation of Chamaeleon Webb observed Herbig-Haro 49/50 in high-resolution near- and mid-infrared light with the NIRCam and MIRI instruments Herbig-Haro objects are small bright patches of nebulosity associated with protostars in star-forming regions These structures were first observed in the 19th century by the American astronomer Sherburne Wesley Burnham but were not recognized as being a distinct type of emission nebula until the 1940s The first astronomers to study them in detail were George Herbig and Guillermo Haro Herbig-Haro objects are formed under very specific circumstances — when hot gas ejected by a newborn star collides with the gas and dust around it at speeds of up to 250,000 kmh (155,000 mph) the basic configuration is usually the same: twin jets of heated gas ejected in opposite directions from a forming star “When NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope observed it in 2006 scientists nicknamed HH 49/50 the Cosmic Tornado for its helical appearance but they were uncertain about the nature of the fuzzy object at the tip of the ‘tornado’,” said Webb astronomers in a statement Webb provides a different visual impression of HH 49/50 by revealing fine features of the shocked regions in the outflow uncovering the fuzzy object to be a distant spiral galaxy and displaying a sea of distant background galaxies.” HH 49/50 is part of the Chamaeleon I Cloud complex one of the nearest active star-forming regions “This cloud complex is likely similar to the environment that our Sun formed in,” the astronomers said “Past observations of this region show that the HH 49/50 outflow is moving away from us at speeds of 100-300 km per second and is just one feature of a larger outflow.” “Webb’s NIRCam and MIRI observations of HH 49/50 trace the location of glowing hydrogen molecules as the protostellar jet slams into the region.” The new Webb observations probe details on small spatial scales that will help astronomers to model the properties of the jet and understand how it is affecting the surrounding material similar to a water wake created by a speeding boat point back to the source of this outflow,” the researchers said scientists suspect that a protostar known as Cederblad 110 IRS4 is a plausible driver of the jet activity.” “Located roughly 1.5 light-years away from HH 49/50 “Class I protostars are young objects (tens of thousands to a million years old) in the prime time of gaining mass.” “They usually have a discernible disk of material surrounding it that is still falling onto the protostar “Scientists recently used Webb’s NIRCam and MIRI observations to study this protostar and obtain an inventory of the icy composition of its environment.” “These detailed Webb images of the arcs in HH 49/50 can more precisely pinpoint the direction to the jet source but not every arc points back in the same direction.” there is an interesting outcrop feature (at the top right of the main outflow) which could be another chance superposition of a different outflow related to the slow precession of the intermittent jet source.” this feature could be a result of the main outflow breaking apart.” “The galaxy that appears by happenstance at the tip of HH 49/50 is a much more distant “It has a prominent central bulge represented in blue that shows the location of older stars.” “The bulge also shows hints of side lobes suggesting that this could be a barred-spiral galaxy.” “Reddish clumps within the spiral arms show the locations of warm dust and groups of forming stars.” “The galaxy even displays evacuated bubbles in these dusty regions similar to nearby galaxies observed by Webb as part of the PHANGS program.” “Webb has captured these two unassociated objects in a lucky alignment.” the edge of HH 49/50 will move outwards and eventually appear to cover up the distant galaxy.” You are using an outdated browser.

ApJ, in press; arXiv: 2412.07523 Undated handout photo of Lois Anne Haro, who was kidnapped, raped and murdered in 1988. (Courtesy of Tony Haro) Tony Haro had just gotten home on a cool October evening in 1988 and found a note from his wife, Lois Anne Haro, saying she had left around 7 p.m. for the Pasadena Plaza to buy a gift for a friend’s baby shower the next day. The note instructed her husband not to put the ice cream back in the fridge; she was going to be right back to make an ice cream pie. But the tub had melted completely. It was 9 p.m. The melted ice cream was the first in a flood of traumatic recollections that recently washed over Tony as he sat in the front row of a courtroom gallery for the Los Angeles Superior Court retrial of Ronald Anthony Jones, one of the men who had been convicted of kidnapping, raping and murdering his wife nearly 36 years ago. Jones and his co-conspirator, Marvin Trone, abducted Lois from the mall, then drove her around Pasadena, sexually assaulting her repeatedly in her car before taking her to a secluded area by the freeway and shooting her once in the head, killing her. Jones was arrested the next day after he was spotted driving Lois’ car, according to trial testimony. He was found with a bullet in his jacket pocket similar in caliber to the one Lois was shot with and had gunpowder on his hands, prosecutors said. He had Lois’ credit cards, pocketbook and wallet at his house. His semen was found on her clothing at the scene. Undated handout image of Tony and Lois Anne Haro. (Courtesy of Tony Haro) For more than three decades, Jones sat in prison for the crimes. He challenged his conviction in state courts, but his appeals were denied. But in 2021, his murder conviction was overturned by a federal judge who found that the 1991 trial was “incurably tainted by race-based discrimination” due to the prosecution’s exclusion of Black jurors. The prosecution was able to get rid of 12 jurors without explanation. It used four of those to exclude the only eligible Black jurors. Jones’ trial came as race relations in Los Angeles were reaching a boiling point. Jones and his co-conspirator were Black, and their victim, Lois, was white. Jones’ trial occurred just weeks after video of the Rodney King beating was released. One of the Black jurors who was removed from the pool by the prosecution even said she had a stepson who was in the car with King before his beating. Thirty years after he was convicted, Jones’ case was reopened. But even his current defense attorney acknowledged Jones was far from innocent. Jones, now 54, does not deny much of what he’s accused of. He admits to kidnapping, rape and participating in Haro’s murder. “Mr. Jones has taken responsibility for every horrific, inhumane thing that he did when he was a stupid 19-year-old man in 1988,” said Jones’ attorney, Ilya Alekseyeff, in her closing arguments to jurors Thursday. But what he does not admit to is pulling the trigger. At the heart of the two-week trial was the small but key detail that led to his death sentence after his conviction in 1991. Jones disputed that he was the triggerman that night, and he denied that he intended throughout the abduction to kill Haro. “They really don’t have a case. They don’t have evidence Mr. Jones is the one who killed Ms. Haro,” Alekseyeff told jurors. California But Caryl Chessman’s death penalty conviction dominated the debate about capital punishment for years Jones was asking the jury to find him not to have been the triggerman — one of the special circumstances allegations against him his sentence could be reduced from capital punishment to imprisonment for 25 years to life “It’s a seldom seen yet sometimes highly persuasive tactic for [the] defense to admit almost all culpability,” said Josh Ritter a defense attorney in Los Angeles not involved in the case “The hope is that admitting culpability will garner some trustworthiness with the jurors and that they will essentially buy into the defense theory that while he admits criminal culpability it isn’t as far as the prosecution is alleging.” Ritter noted that the distinction Jones’ attorney was trying to make for the jury could lead to a considerably different sentence If Jones is not convicted of the special circumstances for being the triggerman If the special circumstances are found to be true they are playing with house money to an extent He’s just looking for an opportunity to one day see the outside of the prison,” Ritter said The prosecution maintained it had proof that Jones was the shooter Jones denied being the shooter and claimed he was holding the gun for his accomplice He also said the gunpowder found on his hands could have been from a BB gun His attorney told jurors during closing arguments that the admission was a lie Jones was simply telling them exactly what they wanted to hear,” Alekseyeff said “The prosecution did not rule out Trone as the killer.” they returned with a verdict: guilty of first-degree murder with four special circumstances including an enhancement of principal armed with a gun But it could not agree on whether he was the one who shot Lois Haro when he was found to be the shooter and sentenced to death he faces a mandatory sentence of life without the possibility of parole That’s the same sentence Trone received in 1992 after being found guilty of murder, robbery and sexual assault with special circumstances. “Justice has finally been served for Lois Haro and her family. This verdict is a crucial step in bringing closure to a case that has weighed heavily on the hearts of her loved ones and our community for more than three decades,” Dist. Atty George Gascón said. For his part, Tony Haro just wanted to go home. Tony Haro, whose wife, Lois Anne Haro, was murdered in 1988 after being abducted from a mall in Pasadena. (Ringo Chiu / For The Times) He lives in Grants Pass, Ore., where he works as a therapist, focusing on trauma and grief. He and Lois did not have kids together, and Haro is now remarried and has two adult daughters. “Lois’ murder turned my life upside down. The trials of Jones and Trone in the 1990s were just excruciating. It was devastating. It was hard to function,” he said while awaiting the verdict. The retrial of Jones was different, but it still brought up all his past pain. “I know trauma lives in your body; my body just remembers everything. So when I’m in there and the rest of the family too, we all get triggered. This is just replaying everything that happened,” he said. When the jury found Jones guilty of first-degree murder, Haro said, Jones’ family members went up to him in the courthouse and apologized for the loss of Lois and for having to endure another trial. “I’m very relieved,” he said, “and hope I never have go through this again in my lifetime.” Noah Goldberg covers Los Angeles City Hall for the Los Angeles Times.

I’m having a really fun time on this bike. Quick confession, I’ve been “almost” exclusively riding rigid mountain bikes for close to ten years. I say almost because from 2018 through 2020 I did enjoy my RSD Middle Child until I got the itch during the pandemic to sell it and build something different and geometry that is both comfortable and aggressive at the same time I’ve made a few small component upgrades When I choose to ride a bike with suspension my choices always seem to turn to hardtails It means a little more concentration on the trail as picking your line on a descent becomes a little more important This makes it fun for me the same way a fully rigid MTB would Although this FOX fork that’s spec’d on the Saguaro does make it more comfortable while doing it The Haro Saguaro hardtails come in three spec levels – Saguaro 3 the 2 retails for $2399 and the 1 retails for $3999 (tested) All of the bikes seem to have smart specs and are a good value for the money The electronic SRAM GX Transmission 12-speed drivetrain was fairly easy to set up It obviously won’t have any cables to replace or adjust easy-to-set-up FOX fork adds to the bike’s simplicity let’s go over a few more of the great components this bike was spec’d with Even though this bike is spec’d really well I’ve got this bike for a long-term review and will also use it to review other parts in the near and not-so-near future The very first thing I replaced, before I even rode the bike were the Kenda Tires. I replaced them with a set of Teravail Kessels in the 29×2.6 flavor with the “durable” tan wall casing I think Tan walls always make a bike look better The second thing I replaced was the saddle. I replaced it with one of my favorite “modern” saddles, the Ergon SM Pro Mens in the M/L size I say “modern” because I usually ride the Brooks B17 exclusively… but the B17 won’t work well in this application On to the grips. Although I am a big fan of just about everything WTB does, I didn’t care for the Wavelength grips that came stock on the Saguaro 1. Along with Ergon’s saddles, I am a big fan of their grips. I swapped in the Ergon GE1 Evo Factory in the Frozen Moss/Oil Slick color I added a Spurcycle Original Bell to the cockpit as well I need a bell on a lot of trails that I ride there is no other bell on the market like this one Lastly, the unsung heroes of all of the gear I use are my K-Edge computer mounts. They very rarely get mentioned and are always there doing what they are supposed to do, without a complaint or issue. So, of course, I added my K-Edge Gravity Top Cap Mount The colors are Metallic Green (tested) and Matte Mauve I’ve found the first couple of rides on the Haro Saguaro 1 refreshingly familiar it’s been a while since I’ve ridden a bike with a slack front end and decent front suspension As someone who prefers to ride steel bikes I found myself very conscious of the way the frame rode on the first few rides I was pleasantly surprised that I didn’t notice any overt harshness in the rear end Although it’s early in the review period there’s been none of that crazy harsh ride that I remember aluminum frames to dish out the Saguaro 1 rides like you’d expect a hardtail would I like the way this bike handles with the 29″ wheels The FOX 36 Performance Elite fork helps a lot with that that being said when compared to the 27.5 RSD Middle Child I had I find the Saguaro 1 much more capable and nimble there is a 1.5-mile descent that has a few chunky rocky sections and the Saguaro 1 bulldozed right through it where I clocked 34.1 MPH….like buttah it’s a hardtail and there were parts of the trail the bike seemed to stay planted and stable the bike never felt like it was going to bounce or skip offline With the 210mm front rotor and the 180mm rear rotor stopping power is on hand and very present The levers have a quick reach adjustment by just twisting the dial right behind the lever It reminded me of the kick-ass ol’ Avid Speed Dial Levers Due to the reach and longer front end and bigger wheels it seems to be a lil’ bit hard to pull the front end up over some obstacles even though it’s on the heavier end of the spectrum at 34lbs The terrain I am riding it on the most is around our new house up in the mountains It’s very rocky at times with a lot of loose over hard pack I still have yet to find a lot of places to ride here I am excited to get it down the mountain on familiar trails I know I haven’t talked about the electronic SRAM GX Transmission yet and I don’t think I will until the full review as it’s way too early for me to make a final judgment call What I will say is that on the 3 or 4 rides I’ve done on the SRAM GX I will say setting it up with the app was pretty neat The shift pod is unnatrual and awkward to use Maybe I could get used to it…again too early to tell But we’ll dive into that after a bit longer on the product I’m very excited to have this bike and to run it through its paces over the next few months @hibye–just don’t charge the ‘transmission’ haha Zino Haro is the co-founder and cybersecurity lead of Youth for Privacy an organization that

These objects mark where gas from young stars heats up due to shockwaves. A prime example is HH 30, where gas flows out as a narrow jet from a star hidden behind an edge-on protoplanetary disc Discovered early by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope An international team used the Webb telescope to examine HH 30 closely They could study the system’s disc in multiple wavelengths by combining data from Webb and the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) ALMA’s long-wavelength data showed millimeter-sized dust grains in the disc’s central plane Webb’s shorter-wavelength infrared data revealed smaller dust grains aimed to understand dust evolution in discs like HH 30 The findings highlight that large dust grains migrate and settle in a thin layer dust grains clump together to form pebbles and planets and ALMA unveiled intricate structures within HH 30: These findings highlight HH 30 as a dynamic environment where dust grains and gas jets contribute to new planet formation This dynamic setting offers astronomers a unique opportunity to study the processes leading to planet formation © 2025 All Rights Reserved, Tech Explorist® « Back Even more baffling was the fuzzy object at its tip.  Scientists considered the fuzzy thing could be a nearby star.  The Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore which operates the Webb and Hubble telescopes for NASA said it turns out the objects aren't related at all but happen to be in the same line of sight.  "When peering out into space, we get a 2D view of a 3D universe," the institute said in a news release images will capture objects that appear close to each other in the sky but are actually at wildly different distances and are unassociated with each other." Webb's penetrating infrared gaze has now revealed the true identity of the glow as a face-on The bulge also seems to have side lobes, suggesting that this could be a barred spiral galaxy like the Milky Way.  The above video provides a fly-through visualization of the James Webb Space Telescope's view of Herbig-Haro 49/50 Bars — ribbons of stars and gas that cut across the core of a galaxy — form in spiral galaxies when the orbits of stars near the galaxy's center become erratic and stretched out Bars grow as gravity collects more nearby stars a large percentage of the stars within such a galaxy's nucleus get caught up in the bar.  As for the Harbig-Haro object, scientists believe its edge will eventually move outward and seem to cover up the galaxy, though that will take thousands of years to occur. The object is about 625 light-years from Earth in the constellation Chamaeleon But not all of the arcs point in that direction after all Another jet could be intersecting with Herbig-Haro 49/50 or the main jet might be breaking apart.  Astronomers hope the Webb observations will help them better understand how jets associated with young developing stars can affect their surroundings Phantoms defenseman Conner de Haro retrieves the puck during the team's scrimmage on Friday in Boardman Youngstown Phantoms defenseman Conner de Haro was a young up-and-comer focused on making the roster full-time de Haro is one of the team’s most experienced players and one of the few that have been here for each season that coach Ryan Ward has been at the helm “It’s super exciting,” de Haro said it’s great to be back in Youngstown and see all the fellas so it’s just nice to be back and excited to get the season going.” The defenseman became a regular in his second season with the Phantoms getting his feet wet in the USHL and watching his team win a championship all contributed to him taking that next step of growth as a player “I think it just was a lot of it was from just gaining confidence in the league and knowing I belonged (there) too,” de Haro said “That’s the hardest thing when you’re a young guy de Haro has taken on more responsibilities as one of the team’s elder statesmen One of those is driving around the younger guys “I have to drive around (Jack Hextall) and (Adam Benak) every day so I kind of got to know them well,” de Haro said and it’s nice to see the new faces and how excited they are to be here “Obviously it’s an honor to be one of (the team leaders) and I think whenever I was in their situation it was always nice to be able to talk to those guys so I’m just trying to help them out with whatever I can and trying to get them feeling comfortable and just excited to be here.” and cited current Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin as one of his favorite players to watch “I really like Miro Heiskanen from the Dallas Stars He’s a good defenseman,” de Haro said I’ve watched a lot of Brady Skjei (now with Nashville) it’s always cool to watch them play and see what they do.” The team goal is ‘Clark Cup or Bust’ but de Haro is hoping he can be a major contributor toward that goal by taking another big leap in his development like he did this past year I just want to take another step like last year and I don’t want to plateau,” de Haro said “I’ve just got to get better this year and hopefully produce more offensively and then just continue what I was doing offensively this (past) year.” with the Phantoms’ season opener set for Sept | https://www.tribtoday.com | 240 Franklin Street SE By: 5:30 am on June 26 Previous plans were filed for a 12-story apartment complex in 2019 and approved in late 2021.

I am currently reviewing the Saguaro 1, one of Haro’s new mountain bike offerings that launched late last year. Along with the new mountain bike offerings, they also have two new drop bar offerings. Both of these UCI-approved bikes lean towards racing, the Rivette road bike which we learned about here and the new Buzzard gravel bike which we are learning about Haro says that the Buzzard Gravel bike is “race-oriented and adventure-outfitted.” For some of you when you ride It comes in four different spec levels – Buzzard Carbon Top Shelf Let’s jump in and see what these levels offer Built on a lightweight carbon frame and fork the Top Shelf Buzzard is spec’d for the most efficient combination of both speed and technical performance Considered the “sweet spot” of the Buzzard family the Buzzard Carbon 2 fits the bill for a performance gravel bike it’s everything you need to hit any road the Buzzard 3 will let you wander without breaking the bank Vision Team Aero Gravel alloy tubeless wheels HaroBikes.com The Buzzard Carbon 2 must have that newfangled wirelss/shifterless design that’s so hot in Europe right now they’ll all creak under some circumstances I guess it’s a matter of what kind of creaking sounds best to you are the reason for an Omnes conversation with Fernando de Haro director of 'La Mañana del Fin de Semana' on Cope His book is titled "La foto de las siete menos cinco" director of 'La Mañana del Fin de Semana' on Cope (© Cope) "Very good morning to the early risers of the weekend "Since 6 a.m. we have been telling you the news of the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria. Bashar al-Assad is no longer the president". This is how his program began on December 8 Weekend Morning Fernando de Haro who can be heard on weekends from 6 to 8:30 a.m As you can see, in two and a half hours you can talk about many things. That day began with Syria. De Haro has been, and is, an international reporter, with several books and documentaries. He has also written essays, interviews, a biography on Luigi Giussani (The Momentum of a Life), and is the editor of paginasdigital.es - The title corresponds to the hour in which during the period 2018-2024 I worked in 'La Tarde' of Cope At that time this mini-section was being broadcast Now it has returned to be the 8.25 picture because I have returned to my program of origin: 'La Mañana del Fin de Semana' - Mikel Azurmendi was a fan of my commentary/description of a photo to close the program those comments were the occasion to start a precious relationship Mikel during his last years of life was a great friend he still is and the relationship continues now that he has passed away We accompanied each other on the road of life - When I started doing the program 14 years ago we all thought that this radio time was a minor moment in the programming But then we realized that there were many "weekend early risers" Many more than in other more traditional and better known radio programs There is no EGM data on the minutes of the photo But there are many people who tell me that they like that closing We aspire for the present not to disappear and become a mere memory The past only has value if it remains present That is the difference between tradition and traditionalism - It is true that the subject matter is very varied But the photographs from the newspapers or from the informative websites from which I take them are very varied it is made of children crying and laughing The common thread is the writer's gaze and the listener's gaze that sees through what he he hears I have been able to travel in the last ten years to many corners of the planet to shoot some documentaries It seems to me that to do good journalism you have to be in the place where things happen no matter if that place is a village in northern Nigeria or a street in Algeciras where an operation against drug trafficking is taking place.  I like to be on the spot to be able to understand and to be able to tell What I want is to understand and for that I need to let myself be touched - It seems to me that understanding Islam is decisive it is an emerging religion with a growing weight in Europe Islam must be distinguished from Islamism and jihadism I have seen in Iraq and Syria Daesh graffiti written in German and other European languages of young people from the Western world who went to fight with "the Caliphate" Not everything the Egyptian Christians do is intelligent But they have learned after centuries that the dream of hegemony can destroy them We live in the naivety that bad things are what happens to others it is a way of using the reason that makes us human The first impulse of any person is to make the need of others his own need - Christianity in the Holy Land is essential to understanding the nature of Christianity Christianity is an event that happened in history in a specific place and at a specific time Christianity in the Holy Land reminds us of this nature of event Subscribe to Omnes magazine and enjoy exclusive content for subscribers Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page.
