ST. LOUIS - A St. Louis man pleaded guilty Friday to a second-degree murder charge in a man's shooting death several years ago, which stemmed from drug debt.

Can you get a refund for poor in-flight Wi-Fi?

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 02:42:16 GMT

For many frequent flyers in 2023, functional Wi-Fi has become a critical in-flight amenity. Many travelers demand access to the cloud while they’re, well, in the clouds.But sometimes, the Wi-Fi is no good. It takes three tries to reload a page, or the connection cuts out right when you've found what you were looking for.That's frustrating enough for passengers on airlines like JetBlue that offer complimentary Wi-Fi, or for those who get free in-flight Wi-Fi through their airline elite status or an airline-branded credit card. But it’s most brutal for the people who pay specifically for in-flight Wi-Fi yet receive a service that hardly serves them at all. 7.6 magnitude earthquake strikes off the southern Philippines; tsunami warning issued I had a faulty Wi-Fi connection on a United Airlines flight in September from San Francisco to Orlando. On U.S. domestic flights, United sells Wi-Fi service for either $8 or 800 miles for MileagePlus members and $10 for everyone else. I opted to ...

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 02:42:16 GMT

(BCN) -- California is failing to provide a high-quality education to students in the juvenile justice system by not addressing the inadequacies of academic data collection practices, according to a recent report from the national Youth Law Center. Current collection practices, the report authors argue, do not accurately measure student needs and outcomes."A failure to design better metrics would be a disastrous choice on the part of California stakeholders to keep these students out of sight and out of mind," the report's authors wrote. Biden says HIV/AIDS strategy needs to confront inequity The report, "Out of Sight, Out of Mind," is a follow-up to a 2016 report that similarly found the state to be failing in its mission of providing students in juvenile detention with high-quality education via its disproportionate representation of multiple student populations, high rates of chronic absenteeism, low high school graduation rates, inaccurate or incomplete data, and more.The most...
