The warrant made public Tuesday says investigators think the woman's son, Adrian Navarro-Canales, fatally stabbed her and his brother Sept. 17 and might have stayed in the apartment for a time before fleeing. |
He was named Monday as an adult in a warrant accusing him of killing 40-year-old Elvira Canales-Gomez and 9-year-old Cesar Navarro. |
The decomposing bodies were discovered after repeated calls from a friend and a relative worried that Canales-Gomez hadn't shown up for work Wednesday and the younger boy hadn't been at school. |
The Jaguar I-PACE is powered by a 90kWh Lithium-ion battery and Jaguar claims a range of 480km. Jaguar says that the I-Pace electric SUV from 0-80 per cent in 40 minutes using 100 kW DC. This is also Jaguar's first big bet in the EV space. |
Last few years have all been about talks of electrification, investments and showcasing concept electric vehicles. Now, Tata-owned Jaguar is making some headlines as it gears up to showcase its new electric Jaguar I-Pace SUV at the upcoming 2018 Geneva Motor Show. The next big thing on wheels will be powered by batteri... |
In many ways, I-Pace marks a new beginning for Jaguar. After all, its the first all-electric production vehicle from the British marque. The design and dimensions are very similar to the concept car revealed at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show. While many concept cars never see a production light, that isn't the case wit... |
The credit for the new styling should be given to I-Pace’s electric powertrain, says Jaguar, it has allowed to take up less room than a traditional internal-combustion engine, drivetrain and transmission. Elon Musk's Tesla has already ahead in doing this and now Jaguar is ready to take on Tesla for the very first time.... |

Afghanistan will take a sense of excitement, not nerves, on to the pitch for their maiden Test match today, skipper Asghar Stanikzai says. |
Afghanistan will become only the 12th Test nation when they face India, the world's top-ranked side. But Stanikzai doesn't expect the enormity of the occasion to affect his players. |
"Are we nervous? Not at all because this is the first time I am hearing that word," said Stanikzai. "We are excited, and the people back home are excited that we are playing the number one-ranked side in our first Test." |
Afghanistan have made quick strides in white-ball cricket since their international debut in 2001. They played at the ODI World Cup for the first time in 2015 and have already qualified for next year's championship in England. |
They also reached the Super Ten stage in the World T20 in 2016 and beat eventual champions West Indies in a league match. |
"The domestic structure is now in place back in Afghanistan. Players are coming through different grades and progressing quickly. We have a young pacer (18-year-old Wafadar) to showcase in this game as well. The exciting thing about Afghanistan cricket is that there is a great young talent pool available, and it only b... |
I have been thinking about what it will be like to ride into Paris on Sunday. |
The team with the race leader traditionally gets to lead the pack onto the Champs Elysees, but after that it's just another crazy sprint. |
The final stage of the Tour de France usually is somewhat ceremonial. I've been told that in the old days, riders used to drink champagne and smoke cigars the last day. The closest we will come to that is going pretty slow for a while and talking a lot to each other. We still have to ride nearly 90 miles. |
The problem with thinking ahead is you lose some concentration and we still needed that Friday. It was the last nervous day because Saturday is an individual time trial. We shouldn't need to protect Lance Armstrong the next two days. He'll be OK unless he gets maced. |
That happened to a half-dozen guys in Thursday's stage, when a spectator sprayed some riders with what they first thought was water. They knew it wasn't when their eyes started to burn. Some people thought it was pepper gas. |
Friday was a long day mentally for most riders. It wasn't really a race as much as just another step to get to Paris. With a crosswind, there was a lot of so-called echelon riding, in which the riders don't draft behind each other but beside each other. If everyone works together, the echelon goes well, but it's human ... |
In a fast stage like this one, corners on the course can be dangerous. We had a hard right-hand turn during a downhill on a fairly narrow road near the finish, so our sporting director, Johan Bruyneel, told our U.S. Postal Service team to go to the front of the pack and stay out of trouble. |
Sometimes you want to attack before a corner, because it gets you clear of everyone else at the turn. There were a couple times Friday I thought of doing it, but I realized I would be going so fast I might wind up in the 10th row of spectators instead of getting through the turn. I'm 93rd in the overall and I want to f... |
I think making the top 15 in Saturday's time trial is definitely within my reach, but I kind of had doubts about myself Friday. Hopefully, it's just a mental thing that I will get over. |
One thing we never get over is superstitions. My roommate, Tyler Hamilton, got a new watch and then crashed two straight days while wearing it. It hasn't gone back on his wrist. This morning, when Tyler had run out of socks with the team logo, he went around asking for a pair instead of wearing the exact same kind of s... |

JUBA (Reuters) - South Sudan rebels on Monday rejected a peace plan to reinstate insurgent leader Riek Machar as vice president, saying it failed to dilute the strong power base of the country’s president. |
Machar was President Salva Kiir’s deputy until 2013, when a political disagreement between them degenerated into a war that has ravaged South Sudan ever since. |
The deal naming Machar first vice president was reached in Entebbe in talks mediated by Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni and that he and Kiir attended. It was announced on Sunday by Kiir’s office. |
But an official of Machar’s SPLM-IO rebel group said on Monday it was not acceptable. |
Puok Both Baluang, SPLM-IO deputy spokesman, said the rebels should appoint two of the four vice presidents envisaged under the Entebbe deal and Kiir’s grip on power should be loosened further. |
“We will not fall only for the position of the First Vice President in this negotiation. We are focusing more on structural and institutional issues to constrain Kiir’s regime both in the executive and legislature,” he said. |
It was not clear if Baluang was speaking on Machar’s behalf, and the SPLM-IO leader could not immediately be contacted for comment. |
SPLM-IO is the largest of the rebel groups fighting Kiir’s government, and militants allied to it control several areas close to the capital Juba. |
The agreement on Machar’s position would have marked a potential breakthrough in new efforts mediated by regional leaders to end the war, which has primarily been fought along ethnic lines between Kiir’s Dinka and Machar’s Nuer groups. |
It has killed tens of thousands and devastated the economy of Africa’s youngest nation. |
A similar power-sharing deal in 2015 failed the following year after Machar returned to the capital and disagreements quickly developed, reigniting fighting. |
On Friday, government and opposition signed an agreement on security arrangements that followed on from a ceasefire deal last month, but the truce has been frequently violated by both sides. |
ISLAMABAD: National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal has said the anti-graft watchdog has sent a clear message to both the new and old rulers that “you reap what you sow”. |
“Bureaucracy is the backbone of the government and if it develops any fault, therapy becomes necessary,” said the NAB chairman while addressing a gathering at the Aiwan-e-Sadar on Sunday. |
“An aggressive propaganda had been launched against NAB to spread discontent, but the ones who committed corruption will have to face accountability. If asking questions about your source of income is a crime, we shall continue doing this,” said Iqbal. |
He clarified that everyone was interrogated without hurting their self-respect. |
“When a question is asked, they should answer it. One should not get touchy unnecessarily,” he said. “Those who had a 70cc motorcycle now have towers in Dubai. It is not an insult if NAB asks where these towers came from. |
Iqbal said those who were involved in creating propaganda against NAB should understand that “people know who is behind it”. |
Iqbal complained about NAB being dragged into politics and criticised for hours in parliament. |
He said it was beyond his understanding as to why the business community was afraid of NAB. |
He advised the propagandists to spend energy on their cases rather than on propagandas against NAB. “This way you can defend better,” he added. |
“Rail engines, ships and airplanes are missing. Everyone is doing whatever they want. It is not unfair if NAB asks where the ships and airplanes are?” he said. Refuting reports of differences with the incumbent government, he said he was not against the government nor in cahoots with it. |
“The conviction rate of NAB cases is 70 per cent and not 7.0 per cent,” he clarified, adding that he had requested the government to contact NAB for any information instead of contacting those who were facing references and investigations. |
“I had asked the government to ask those who are not wanted by NAB so that they can give an independent opinion. I wonder if the authorities did not like this courage and the newspapers ran stories that government authorities are not happy with me. I think there is no need to be angry and the government should keep a b... |

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - Think about this for a minute, when you visit a restaurant and order a drink do you use a straw or prefer to sip without one? |
A few environmental organizations are questioning if these pieces of plastic are really necessary. |
"Straws, cigarette butts, plastic bags, those are part of the top five items, plastic water bottles," said Plastic Ocean Project Outreach Coordinator Tricia Monteleone. "Those are some of the things people just absent mindedly leave behind." |
After finding hundreds of straws along a one mile stretch of beach, Wrightsville Beach Keep It Clean teamed up the Plastic Ocean Project and Surfrider Foundation to cut down on the mindless wasting. |
"We want to certify local restaurants to say they're not going to serve straws unless they're requested," Monteleone added. "We're starting it here and it's blowing up!" |
If you're going out to eat anytime soon, you'll likely run into this "no straw initiative." |
More than 20 area restaurants have signed up since it started earlier this year with several more waiting to become an official ocean friendly establishment. |
"It's been received very well," commented Oceanic Manager Scott Fagan. "Most guests when you explain exactly what it is and what the purpose of it is they get behind it and get very excited." |
A lot of times people kind of stop and think it's interesting and they may ask a question," Blockade Runner Environmental Coordinator Feletia Lee said. "All of our servers are educated and let them know we just don't have plastic straws here on the property. I'd say 100 percent of the time people are very thankful we'r... |
Patrons are happy and restaurants are cutting down on trash -- a win-win for everyone involved. |
"If I had to put a number on it I'd say we're using about 60 percent less right now and I think that number will grow," Fagan added. |
One of the first participants of this movement, the Blockade Runner, is even taking things a step further with environmentally friendly paper straws to still give customers an option, yet without the consequences since these dissolve naturally within four to five hours if they happen to end up in our waterways. |
"What we decided to do here is not only remove the plastic straws, but we also removed all of those one use plastic items from here at the hotel," commented Lee. "We've reduced our waste by 22 percent, which is awesome!" |
Of course, if you really would like a straw, the restaurants will still be able to provide you with one. |
They say it's more about starting the conversation to keep our environment clean. |
Plastic Ocean Project has future plans to create a point system so the establishments can essentially "compete" with one another to become the most ocean friendly. |
Philly’s still stuck in traffic. Here are 5 fixes from around the world. |
Why is Philly stuck in traffic? |
Cities around the world have figured out how to ease congestion. Here are five fixes for Philly. |
Just try traveling in a straight line for any distance in Center City Philadelphia. |
Moving, by any means, requires navigating around myriad obstacles: jaywalkers, construction fencing, an illegally parked delivery truck. Sometimes, all these things at once. |
The Inquirer dispatched a team of reporters, photographers, and videographers in December to bike, bus, walk, and drive along Chestnut and 15th Streets, two of Center City’s busiest thruways. One reporter tagged along on a UPS delivery route. |
Each had a different perspective on what caused the most frustration, with fingers justly pointed at every kind of traveler. People on foot bemoaned construction crews, a driver complained about careless pedestrians, and a bus passenger noticed how cars' sloppy parking seriously hindered public transit. |
More people, more construction, more drivers, and more businesses all contribute to the morass. Center City added 16,558 jobs from 2008 to 2017 in a place where almost 60 percent of workers commute by car. Nearly 7,000 vehicles a day travel Chestnut Street east of Broad Street, up 17 percent since 2011, according to th... |
Since 2007, Philadelphians are spending more hours hung up in traffic, a 2015 study from the Texas A&M Transportation Institute found. |
Eli Salim unloads cargo from his UPS truck in Center City. |
Many big cities are facing the same pressures, so we reached out to planners, city officials, and transit experts worldwide to explore what they are doing to manage congestion. Philadelphia is only now experimenting with ideas that are commonplace elsewhere. In part, that’s because traffic here still isn’t as bad as in... |
London reduced the number of car commuters by establishing a congestion tax. |
Copenhagen, Denmark, and Cambridge, Mass., redesigned streets so vehicles, bikes, and pedestrians can safely share the road. |
Paris took big delivery trucks off the streets by encouraging warehouse development where the trucks could off-load packages to smaller vehicles, including cargo bikes. |
New York City sped up buses by dedicating lanes and streamlining ticketing and loading on thoroughfares like 34th Street. |
Washington D.C. keeps pedestrians safer through strict rules that reduce sidewalk closures near construction sites. |
Some solutions are natural fits for Philadelphia, while others may be harder to adapt. Some would require major financial investments, while others would task city government with shifting policy in a big way. None of the solutions is a silver bullet, and some examples show how successful policy can falter without main... |
The roads ringing City Hall are jammed nearly every morning as car commuters exit I-676, transit riders emerge from buses and subway tunnels, and impatient pedestrians jaywalk. |
“You really can’t stop car congestion, except for one tool, which is congestion pricing,” said Jeff Speck, a Massachusetts-based city planner who has written about street management. |
Philadelphia is the 16th worst U.S. city for hours spent in traffic annually. |
Congestion pricing is a fee charged to vehicles traveling into or within a predetermined area of a city at certain hours of certain days. The goal is to discourage people from driving into a city’s busiest areas and turn to public transit instead. |
London established an 8.1-square-mile congestion-pricing zone almost 16 years ago, enforced by nearly 200 cameras. The fee is £11.50 daily from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, the equivalent of more than $15. Drivers can pay in advance of entering the zone or the day after for an additional £2.50, or about $3.30. Drivers... |
$15 fee charged from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays. |
Congestion zone enforced by nearly 200 cameras. |
Traffic thinned, public transit use grew, and delays dropped by 30 percent in the first three years of the program, according to the British think tank Centre for Cities, though reports from the city note congestion has been increasing again despite the fee. The £1.9 billion in net revenue (about $2.5 billion) raised t... |
London tried to expand the zone, but public criticism forced the city to scale it back in 2010. The city resolved another major criticism of its program last year when it approved an end to the exemption for ride-share vehicles that will go into effect in April. |
Traffic goes past 'C' signs on the road marking entry into the central London Congestion Charging zone at London's Marble Arch. |
Philadelphia’s traffic woes may not yet warrant this significant a solution, said Barry Seymour, executive director of the DVRPC. If Philadelphia wanted to explore congestion pricing, it would need state approval, and lawmakers could resist what amounts to a new tax. Some commuters, particularly suburbanites, may not h... |

Philadelphia’s first taste of congestion pricing might come in the form of an added fee for Uber and Lyft vehicles operating in the city’s busiest areas at certain times, Puchalsky said — something New York City is already doing. |
Riding a bicycle through Center City shows that cars rule Philadelphia’s roads. Chestnut and 15th don’t have bike lanes in Center City, and on 13th Street, which does, the lane is often filled with obstacles like delivery trucks and construction. Philadelphia planners hope to reclaim street space from cars for other us... |
