This supercharged V6 custom Gullwing hides an SLK AMG under its distinctive bodywork The Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing is one of the most iconic cars in automotive history. Its distinctive design and world-class engineering made it a force to be reckoned with on and off the race track. Today the machine is a living legend with all surviving examples coveted by collectors   so imagine our shock when we saw a highly modified 300SL at SEMA. YouTuber Hoonigan AutoFocus visited John Sarkisyan, the creator of a car we initially thought was sacrilegious. Did he really restomod such a historic vehicle? Thankfully not, instead opting to create a mould and forge a fibreglass body. It's very well executed and initially had us convinced it was genuine bodywork. Subtle riveting was added to give the car more motorsport-inspired detailing, along with a large set of polished alloy wheels. More on Mercedes-Benz Ex-Beatles Mercedes 500 SEL AMG is your ticket to ride Could This Be The Most Immaculate Mercedes-Benz 280SE Coupe? Its lowered stance is the first thing that gives this car away as being far from faithful to the original. John wanted a car that featured the handsome looks of the Gullwing classic, but more modern performance. Using a Mercedes-Benz SLK 32 AMG donor car, its running gear was transplanted into this creation. Some parts are genuine 300SL, such as the original Gullwing glass and grille that cost some $30,000 to obtain. The interior is far from original, however, its design does hark back to the 1950s car. Its original bucket seats were reupholstered to match the vivid blue hue of the cabin, while you'll spot more modern Mercedes switchgear. What's in the trunk? A liquor bar of course! Under the hood is the SLK's supercharged V6 engine, but finished with beautiful copper detailing. Power output is around 350-horsepower with the car said to be potent enough to qualify for 0-60mph in under 5 seconds. Capable of turning its Toyo Tires into smoke in an instant, this custom build is mighty impressive. John Sarkisyan is well known for is work customising Porsches, but we bet he has had plenty of interest from others in awe of his Gullwing. Source: YouTube


Pro Football Focus (PFF) has a wealth of advanced statistics and player grades at their disposal. With over a decade of data at their disposal, PFF has analyzed a full generation of NFL football players, which provides them the opportunity to do some very fun assessments of who performs best against who. That's exactly what they've done - releasing a list of 32 "team-killers" . The objective? To highlight which individual player over the last 13 years has allocated the single highest cumulative grade against each of the NFL's 32 franchises. Shouldn't be too hard for the Dolphins, right? Tom Brady has torched them in Foxboro for almost 20 years. Not so fast, Dolphins fans. Brady hasn't swept the Dolphins since 2012, the Dolphins have logged the most interceptions (61) against Brady of any NFL franchise and only two teams in Brady's career with more than 5 contests against him have forced a lower cumulative passer rating than the 92.1 he has against the Dolphins. Instead, Dolphins fan can rest easy - the team's nemesis has rode off into the sunset of retirement. Former Patriots cornerback Asante Samuel was designated as the Dolphins' team-killer. "Few cornerbacks can claim to be better playmakers than Samuel, who always seemed to be around the football. Simply put, the Dolphins would have been better off throwing the ball into the ground than targeting him. Samuel allowed a passer rating of just 30.2 on throws into his coverage against Miami. He forced incompletions on five of his 32 targets while intercepting another two." - Ben Linsey, Pro Football Focus Samuel retired after the 2013 season, logging 11 seasons in the NFL and 51 career interceptions. Two of those interceptions came at the Dolphins' expense - but he allocated 13 passes defensed against Miami, a higher figure than any other team in the league.

Saving On the Cost of College Whether you choose an Ivy League school or your own state university, the answer to the question, "How much does college cost?" is simple: College is expensive. Here are some creative ways to pay for college: Go to a public university. Every public college on this list is less expensive than every private school, even for out-of-state students. Consider spending the first two years at a community college. Then transfer to a four-year institution to get your bachelor's degree. Your diploma will still have the four-year school's name on it, but it will have cost a lot less. Apply for outside scholarships. There are many scholarships available that may be earmarked for students who live in a certain area or who are pursuing a certain type of degree. Search for scholarships you may be eligible for and apply for all of them. Research a reciprocity program. If your state university doesn't offer the program you want to major in, you may be able to get in-state tuition at a school in a nearby state. Ask if your state university has reciprocity with the school you're interested in. Work at the school your child wants to attend. This one requires some advance planning, but some colleges offer free tuition to the children of their employees, assuming they meet the admission criteria. Getting a job at an elite school can save you a lot of money when it's time for your children to enroll. Keep reading to find out four more tips for paying less for college tuition .

The Falcons already announced they were going cashless. The new stadium in London that will host NFL games is going to be cashless. Now Hard Rock Stadium is considering going cashless for the 2020 Super Bowl. This is not some kind of gimmick. Cash is no longer going to be king at NFL stadiums. The current explanation is that cashless concessions make things more efficient. It's a smooth process. Take out the card, insert the chip - or swipe even though that's dying too - and you're on your way. You don't have to dig through your pockets for change. The folks working the concession stands don't have to take time to give you the correct change. It's quick, easy, painless and most people use cards anyway. Of course, there's another reason for teams wanting to go cashless and it's not about efficiency during games. It's a lot easier to track customer buying habits when they are using a payment form that creates reams of data. Teams will be able to create consumer profiles based on their buying habits. It gets even better for teams if they can convince fans to use their phones to purchase products. Some NFL stadiums are already equipped with beacons that use Bluetooth technology that tracks where fans are in the stadium at a specific time. This can help with layouts or strategies on where to put higher-selling concessions which can include beverages, food, shirts, hats and everything else people shell out cash for during games. This type of technology can benefit fans - so don't get scared that Big Brother is tracking us all during games - by offering discounts or giving fans deals. Imagine buying a hot dog and a beer during the end of the first quarter every game you attend. Teams can take that data and send an offer to your phone where you can get a certain percentage off a beer and a hot dog and they can time it right when you usually buy said beer and hot dog. That's pretty good for fans and the team. So expect more stadiums to go cashless for the efficiency - and all the other stuff mentioned - as we move forward. Teams will eventually want us to pay with our phones or through their app as the technology becomes more accepted and used in general society. That's just what's going to happen.

A man was arrested Thursday night outside of a crowded town hall event with 2020 presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren after he allegedly got into a dispute with members of a local group that supports President Donald Trump . The man, who Tempe police declined to name, was arrested for "assault and disorderly conduct for confronting another subject at the event," said Detective Greg Bacon, a public information officer for the police department. The group of Trump supporters included about five men and women who all said they were part of AZ Patriots, a Republican group which describes itself as "citizen journalists and fearless activists" on its Facebook page. They wore red "Make America Great Again" hats and T-shirts displaying the name of their local organization. Jennifer Harrison, one of the group's leading members, said the man who was arrested "lunged" at them and "tried to grab a phone" from her partner's hand as they were escorted out of the event by security, about halfway through Warren's speech at the Marquee Theatre. Harrison told reporters once the man and her group were removed from the venue, he saw her and tried to "strike" her with his fists. "It was very garden-variety 'he said, she said,'" Tempe Police Sgt. Kevin Renwick told ABC News. "This is just people behaving badly. Absolutely it was appropriate and lawful the way the security removed him." Reporters were not allowed to talk to the man, who was detained by police in handcuffs. Before the group was removed, Harrison was live-streaming the event and shouting chants during Warren's speech, including, "climate change is a hoax." Climate change, which the U.N. calls "one of the greatest challenges of our time," plays a key part in Warren's speech at campaign events. The candidate did not react to chants while on stage. "We were just standing there recording," said a woman with AZ Patriots who declined to give her name. When security came over, "all we wanted was to do was get out," she said. The group was told it was being disruptive and was led out. Near the back of the venue, a small concert hall located near Arizona State University, the man who was arrested moved toward the group of Trump supporters and shouted at them. The man was abruptly taken into the lobby, where he was pushed onto the ground and pinned down. At least six members of the event security staff then forcefully dragged the man, who did not appear to cooperate with attempts to bring him outside, across the lobby by his arms and legs. "It never looks pretty, but sometimes that's the way to do it unfortunately," Renwick said. Tempe police provided security at the venue throughout the evening. The campaign said around 2,000 people attended and 1,500 waited outside, unable to get in. The Warren campaign declined to comment on the arrest and directed reporters to the Tempe Police Department. It was Warren's first trip to the state. Her visit came on the heels of the second Democratic debate and an endorsement from Rep. Raul Grijalva, who represents the Phoenix area and endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders in 2016.


BOISE, Idaho (AP)   A law lowering from 21 to 18 the age limit for carrying a concealed handgun within city limits in Idaho without a permit or training went into effect Monday. The law passed by Idaho lawmakers and signed by Republican Gov. Brad Little aligns gun laws in urban areas with rural areas where those 18 and older can already carry a concealed handgun. About a half dozen other states have similar laws allowing 18-year-olds to carry concealed guns without a permit. That's one of more than 300 new or amended laws passed by Idaho lawmakers earlier this year. Backers of the new gun law said the change will protect law-abiding citizens from accidentally breaking the law when they travel across a county and enter city limits. Opponents said there's a big difference between rural Idaho and urban Idaho and not allowing persons age 18 to 20 to carry a concealed handgun in urban areas is reasonable to prevent accidental shootings and shootings resulting from altercations. Another new law requires motorists to slow down and move over when approaching tow trucks and maintenance vehicles parked along roadways with lights flashing. Lawmakers also increased fines for motorists unlawfully passing a loading or unloading school bus. A first-time offense went from $100 to $200, with fines escalating from there. Another new law requires public libraries to filter access on their internet servers so that obscene and pornographic material can't be accessed. The estimated cost is up to $2,500 per library, but possibly much less depending on the type of system. Lawmakers also approved broadening the definition of abuse involving child victims sustaining head injuries. The change removes the term "subdural hematoma" to determine abuse and replaces it with head and brain injuries. A subdural hematoma is defined as blood collecting outside the brain. Backers say using broader wording is consistent with other descriptions of injuries involving child victims. In another change to Idaho law, bounty hunters must now wear badges and notify county sheriffs of their intentions before attempting to apprehend someone. The new law also requires that bounty hunters be 18 or older, be a citizen or legal resident of the United States, not be mentally ill as defined in Idaho law, and not be a fugitive from justice. Backers said the legislation is needed following several incidents involving bounty hunters who opened fire and on at least one occasion put at risk an innocent person. The laws will also apply to bounty hunters from other states entering Idaho. The state's nearly 50-year-old mining laws also received an update that was backed by the Idaho Mining Association. Backers said the update was needed to protect the viability of Idaho mining from federal litigation, federal regulation and those opposed to mining. Those opposed said financial mechanisms intended to make sure companies pay for the cleanup costs of abandoned mines could leave Idaho taxpayers with cleanup bills if a company declares bankruptcy. A state board that pays a federal agency to kill wolves that attack livestock and elk, and that would have ended without lawmaker action, was extended indefinitely and remains in effect. Several news conferences also took place on Monday involving new statutes or designations from this year's Legislature. Little dedicated U.S. Highway 20 as the Idaho Medal of Honor Highway. Idaho's portion of the highway is part of a larger plan to have the entire highway that begins in Newport, Oregon, and ends in Boston receive the designation. Meanwhile, Democratic Rep. Melissa Wintrow and former Democratic Rep. Hy Kloc got the first "pet-friendly" license plates. Money from license plates will go to pay for spaying or neutering pets owned by low-income families.


MIAMI, FL   Dozens of South Florida high schools in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties rank among the best in Florida, according to new rankings from U.S. News & World Report. Separate from the publication's annual ranking of the best high schools in the country   published in April   the best high schools by metro area rankings released on Wednesday analyze how schools compare to each other in the same region. SEE ALSO: U.S. News Best High Schools 2019: Florida Schools Make List U.S. News said it used the same methodology to compile the metro-area rankings as it did for the national rankings. Metros areas were matched to their corresponding core-based statistical areas as defined by the government. The U.S. Census Bureau says metro areas and micropolitan areas (which have a population of between 10,000 and 50,000) are collectively referred to as core-based statistical areas. U.S. News said a single one of these statistical areas may include parts of multiple states. "We've heard from students, parents and school officials that they're interested in seeing how their school compares with others in the community," Robert Morse, chief data strategist at U.S. News, said in a news release. "With these new rankings, residents in more than 900 metro areas nationwide can see which local schools are succeeding at educating and graduating their students."

The Detroit Lions hiring Matt Patricia to replace Jim Caldwell was no big secret but who was going to fill his coaching staff was very much an unknown. Coming off a 2018 Super Bowl run, Patricia was hired late in the offseason and with the majority of coordinators and position coaches having already signed on with other teams, it put him at a big disadvantage in assembling his staff for his inaugural year. With the pickings slim, Patricia went conservative and kept a majority of the previous coaching staff, including moving George Godsey to his natural spot at quarterbacks coach and retaining David Walker as the running backs coach. With no playoffs his first season, Patricia got an early start in the offseason to look for coaches who meshed with his philosophies. In addition to new offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, Patricia was able to bring in two highly respected position coaches to breathe new life into the Lions offense, Sean Ryan as the quarterback coach and Kyle Caskey as the running back coach. Let's take a closer look at the Ryan hire and what his role in the Lions offense will be this season. #Lions hire Sean Ryan as quarterbacks coach: https://t.co/gp2qX7IZmC pic.twitter.com/eIc2QPggRY - Detroit Lions (@Lions) January 30, 2019 It seemed like Stafford and Godsey never really saw eye-to-eye, possibly playing a role in Stafford's down season and eventually leading to Godsey's dismissal from the team. To replace Godsey, the Lions were able to pluck Ryan from the Houston Texans bringing an experienced pair of eyes to help not only Stafford but the entire offense. Ryan has had a successful run in developing quarterbacks starting with Eli Manning back in New York and most recently with Deshaun Watson in Houston. Ryan has held numerous roles in the NFL through his career including wide receivers coach for both the Giants and Texans. With his ample experience at multiple positions, Ryan received numerous offensive coordinator interviews this past offseason, speaking volumes to how highly touted Ryan has become in the league. Fortunately, those teams went in another direction giving the Lions a coach who could elevate the quarterback play in the Motor City. Many would argue Stafford had one of his worst seasons as a pro recording only 3,777 yards, a career low through a full season, playing with a broken back and seeing many of his offensive weapons taken away from him via trade or injuries. Having gone through three quarterback coaches in four seasons, Stafford is no stranger through coach transitions and he is already making a strong impression on Ryan. New #Lions QB coach Sean Ryan on his initial impressions of Matthew Stafford: "He's known for his arm talent so that's very obvious. Very natural passer. But I like his leadership, he's really a smart player, I think he's a good communicator. I've been very impressed so far." - Chris Burke (@ChrisBurkeNFL) June 3, 2019 The backup quarterback situation for Detroit last year was very uninspiring, to say the least. Rolling with only Matt Cassell to back up Stafford was something straight out of a horror movie. If Stafford was going to miss any time, any hopes would go down the drain for any sort of competitive nature. This time around the Lions wised up and signed, in many eyes, an upgrade at backup quarterback in Tom Savage . Now, Savage won't dazzle everyone, but he is someone who could realistically keep the Lions competitive if Stafford were to miss a week or two. Additionally, Savage played in Houston while Ryan was the quarterback coach, so the two are quite familiar with one another. That connection is already paying benefits and Savage might have already locked up the backup spot before training camp has even started. Ryan knows what he is getting in Stafford calling him one of the more natural passers in the league with effortless throws, strong accuracy, and classified his arm as rare. Stafford surely has the skill set and intellect to pick up any nuances Ryan might give him. As long Stafford is willing to listen to Ryan's advice, the seasoned coach will know how to get the most out of Stafford possibly bring back the gunslinger we all fell in love with. Add in the Savage/Ryan familiarity, and Ryan is expected to rejuvenate the quarterback play in Detroit and build a fierce environment that could help the Lions get over that playoff hump.

After the goals and excitement of the first round of group stage games, Wednesday's action saw more cagey affairs, with France dramatically winning on a controversial penalty kick. Heres a roundup of Wednesday's FIFA 2019 Women's World Cup action. [MORE: Women's World Cup news ] France 2-1 Norway Les Bleus survived a scare as they defeated Norway in Nice. Norway was the brighter of the two nations to start, putting one shot wide in the opening minutes and and having a header from a corner kick saved off the line. However, France came out flying in the second half and Amel Majri delivered a ball that was smashed home by Valerie Gauvin less than a minute into the half. Norway was given a lifeline as Wendie Renaud inexplicably failed to clear a cross, instead side-footing it into her own net in the 54th minute. However, France kept pushing and were rewarded as the VAR saw a foul in the box missed by referee Bibiana Steinhaus, leading to a penalty kick. Eugenie Le Sommer stepped up to the penalty spot and calmly finished into the corner to take France on to six points in Group A. Germany 1-0 Spain For the second consecutive match, Germany didn't look like the world beater that made it one of the top five teams in the world. And yet, Die Manaschafft picked up another three points. Scoring on a loose ball in the box, Germany held off Spain to move to the top of Group B with six points from two games. Sara Dabritz snuck in and deflected a goal-line clearance across the line in the 42nd minute, which proved to be the difference. Lucia Garcia looked to have drawn a penalty kick in the 87th minute but the referee, and VAR, waved away the appeals. Nigeria 2-0 South Korea Nigeria kept itself in the conversation to move on to the next round with a big win over South Korea in Grenoble. The Super Falcons were on the front foot all game long and the attacking pressure directly led to the first goal of the match in the 29th minute, an own goal off the foot of Do-Yeon Kim. The African nation kept pushing for more and finally saw another breakthrough as the speedy Asisat Oshoala scored to make it 2-0 in the 75th minute, effectively knocking South Korea out of the competition, with no points or goals from their first two games. Nigeria meanwhile is tied with Norway and if the standings stay the same, they could potentially advance in third place.


The Houston Rockets are reportedly prioritizing Jimmy Butler this summer . Pretty much up against the luxury tax, the only way general manager Daryl Morey and Co. can make this work is by talking the Philadelphia 76ers in to a sign-and-trade for Butler. Even then, other pieces would have to be moved in order for Houston to fit Butler's likely max contract. According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, that includes the Rockets offering up Clint Capela, Eric Gordon and P.J. Tucker to other teams in separate trades. Reporting w/ @ZachLowe : Houston's offering Clint Capela, Eric Gordon and PJ Tucker individually to teams w/ space to absorb salary. Rockets trying for best available first-rounder for any of those three, hoping to redirect pick to Philly in pursuit of Jimmy Butler sign-and-trade.   Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 26, 2019 The goal here would be to both shed salary and acquire draft capital that could entice Philadelphia in a potential sign-and-trade deal. Sure this all seems to far-fetched, but we've seen Morey work his magic in more ways than one over the course of his Rockets career. It's not yet known if Philadelphia would consider a sign-and-trade deal should it become clear that Butler isn't interested in re-signing.


The Seattle Seahawks kicked off the first day of the team's mandatory minicamp with the return of one of their starting players. Defensive tackle Jarran Reed, who underwent a sports hernia surgery in April, participated in some early drills on Tuesday. "That's the first chance he's had to get back out there," coach Pete Carroll said after practice. "He's been working a lot and conditioning on the side to make sure he's coming along. But just the fact that he was out there, it was fun to see him out." For Seattle last season, Reed logged 50 combined tackles and 10.5 sacks. While Reed enjoyed a limited return Tuesday, fellow defensive lineman Ezekiel Ansah, who the Seahawks signed this offseason, remained a spectator on the sidelines. Carroll explained that while Ansah's shoulder is healing nicely, the team doesn't expect to rush him back anytime soon , including training camp, set to start at the end of July.

Are you wondering how to finance your first car? Here are some tips to help you get moving. 1. Know your credit options. As a first-time car buyer, you may have little to no credit history. So you'll likely pay more than the rock-bottom rates you've seen advertised at dealerships . You can get better deals when you take some extra time to build up your credit, before shopping for a car. You can also find deals by making finance companies compete for your business. Compare sample interest rates online. You can use Auto Blog for this, and get actual quotes from banks and dealerships. Then, see who can beat the lowest rate. 2. Keep your loan term short. A longer-term loan will make your monthly payments low, but it could cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars more in interest. You could also get stuck paying off a car that's worth less than what you owe on it. Try to keep your loan term short. No more than 60 months, preferably less. You'll save money in the long run. Of course, one way to avoid high monthly payments is to buy a less expensive car. 3. Know your budget. To figure out what you can afford, work backward from your desired monthly payment, and see the total car price . And, if you're purchasing a used car in order to save some dough, be sure to budget for more than the price. Used cars may have maintenance needs, and little to no warranty left. So you want to be covered. 4.Put at least 20% down. There are many benefits to putting more money down at purchase. You'll pay less in interest on the loan, you'll have lower monthly payments overall, you'll qualify for financing more easily, so the lender is assuming less risk. You'll offset depreciation on the vehicle, which is even more important with used cars. And if the car gets totaled in an accident, you'll owe less to pay it off. You can also save money by paying off all taxes and fees at the time of purchase, instead of rolling them into your monthly payments, and paying interest on them. 5. Find someone willing to co-sign your loan. You'll have an easier time getting financing if you can find someone with good credit to co-sign your loan, meaning they agree to pay it off if you can't. Keep in mind that your co-signer will be on the hook for payments if you default. Follow these tips for financing your first car purchase, and you'll be on your way to some shiny new wheels.

(Bloomberg) -- Beyond Meat Inc., the maker of vegan chicken and beef substitutes backed by some of the biggest names in food and technology, is seeking to raise as much as $184 million in its initial public offering. The company plans to sell 8.75 million shares for $19 to $21 each, according to a filing Monday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. A listing at the top of that range would give the company a market value of about $1.2 billion based on the shares to be outstanding after the offer, according to its filing. The company is one of several makers of plant-based meat substitutes or lab-grown meats that have attracted high-profile backers. Its investors include Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates and actor Leonardo Dicaprio, as well as former McDonald's Corp. chief executive officer Don Thompson. Beyond Meat's biggest stakeholders are venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers LLC, which owns 16 percent of the company, and Twitter Inc. co-founder Ev William's Obvious Ventures with 9 percent, according to its filings. Tyson Foods Inc., the largest U.S. meat producer, is accelerating development of its own alternative-protein products and is also a backer of Beyond Meat. Tyson has invested in Jerusalem-based Future Meat Technologies and, along with Gates, Richard Branson and Cargill Inc., is an investor in Memphis Meats, a cultured meat producer. More Protein Four-fifths of respondents in a Cargill survey said they were interested in plant-based or alternative sources of protein. More than two-thirds said they intended to maintain or increase their consumption of animal protein in the next year, according to the survey conducted in U.S., Brazil, the Netherlands and Vietnam and released Monday. Beyond Meat, founded in 2009 and initially focused on a frozen-chicken substitute, has taken advantage of vegan diet preferences to go more mainstream. Now, it's best known for the Beyond Burger, which is made to "look, cook and taste like traditional ground beef," according to its filings. Its products are sold by grocers such as Kroger and Whole Foods, as well as appearing on restaurant menus for TGI Friday's and A&W Canada. The El Segundo, California-based company's latest filing shows its 2018 loss shrank, while its revenue more than doubled for the second year in a row. Last year, it lost $29.9 million on revenue of $87.9 million compared with a 2017 loss of $30.4 million on revenue of $32.6 million. The offering is being led by Goldman Sachs Group Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Credit Suisse Group AG. The company has applied to list on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol BYND. --With assistance from Emily Chasan.

Beneath a banner photo showing a line of tanks entering Tiananmen Square, a small, bipartisan protest in Westlake Park on Tuesday marked the 30th anniversary of a massacre in Beijing that snuffed out democracy in China. "Thirty years ago I was in Tiananmen Square, many thousands of people were on the street," recalled Jane Jin, chair of the Chinese Democracy and Human Rights Alliance. "They were everywhere, along the walls and looking out from balconies. People wanted democracy, the freedom to say what they wanted to say." Westlake Park has an eerie connection to the events of 1989, in that twice Seattle has laid out the red carpet for Chinese Communist Party leaders, and put them up at the nearby Westin. When China's senior leader Deng Xiaoping came to Seattle in 1979, local Maoist demonstrators gathered in the park to claim Deng had sold out Chinese communist ideals. RELATED: Journalists covering violence beaten, detained It was Deng, 10 years later, who ordered reluctant generals of the Peoples Liberation Army to send their troops into Tiananmen Square. When China's president/strongman Xi Jinping came to Seattle in 2015, staying at the Westin, his security ordered that Falun Gong demonstrators not be seen or heard from Xi's suite. The closest they managed to come was Westlake Park. The Seattle business leadership kowtowed to Xi. Sen. Henry Jackson actually put an arm around Deng during his visit. Embracing is apparently not the Politburo's favored form of greeting. With the 1989 massacre, however, voices in Washington's congressional delegation were heard. Rep. John Miller led a march (nicknamed "the Long March") on the Chinese embassy in Washington, D.C. Sen. Slade Gorton wrote legislation permitting Chinese students to stay in America. Gorton, 90, was at Westlake Park on Tuesday. mourning what he called "a double tragedy," loss of a chance to bring "the blessings of liberty" to China and the uncounted thousands of deaths of the country's young people. "We gather here to renew our dedication to their cause," Gorton said. Of those who stayed, "they strengthened the United States by their service." "The Peoples Republic of China has substituted arbitrary rule for the rule of law," Gorton said. RELATED: Hong Kong activists hold Tiananmen candlelight vigil The Chinese government started by hosing down the blood in Tiananmen Square, and has worked diligently to wipe out all remains of the 1989 protest. Tiananmen Square is both a tourist attraction and one of the most carefully monitored places on earth. The Chinese government has brought millions out of poverty, but has denied freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and freedom to publish. "Let's face it, they are exchanging our economic freedom for your political freedom," Wu'er Kaixi, who was 21 and a leader in the democracy protests, told CBS News. He has lived in exile for 30 years and been unable to see his parents. The government recognizes the charisma of Wu'er Kaixi to this day. It has turned back the 1989 protest leader when he tried to return to China, and surrender to authorities. The government has prohibited Urghur parents in northwest China from naming their offspring after him. The protest at Westlake Park showed an easy going democracy, of a sort from which President Xi was shielded during his 2015 visit. The Communist Party leader spent most of his time with American politicians and local billionaires. The Raging Grannies, omnipresent at leftist protests, sang old civil rights and labor songs. A musical group called the Anti-Fascist Marching Band brought cool jazz to the cause of Chinese democracy. China has a "wonder potential," Gorton said, if its citizens ever become citizens of a "free and equitable" country.


The U.S. labor market added 5 million jobs in March, slightly lower than the previous month, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Tuesday. March's numbers were down from 5.1 million job openings in February. The job openings rate for March was 3.4 percent, which was little changed for the total private and government sectors. There were fewer jobs available in health care and social assistance but the report found an increase in the arts, entertainment and recreation industries. Job openings were little changed in all four geographic regions of the country. The number of job openings has increased over the last 12 months, especially in professional and business services, health care and social assistance, and accommodation and food services. Job openings decreased over the year in mining and logging. March hires came in at 5.1 million, little changed from February. The hires rate was 3.6 percent in March. There were 5 million total separations in March, also little changed from the previous month. The separations rate was 3.5 percent. Separations includes quits, layoffs and discharges, and is also known as turnover. Click here for the latest on the markets.

A 34-year-old San Francisco-based entrepreneur has a surprisingly high balance: 10,308,398. That's not his checking account balance or the amount of debt he owes   it's the total number of credit card reward points he currently has across over a dozen cards. Chris Hutchins   a former Google employee and owner of Grove , a financial planning company   started playing the credit card points game in college, and more than a decade later, he's finally reached his dream of having more than 10 million points. "It's been an evolving goal," Hutchins tells CNBC Make It. "When I first started I wanted to get a million." Hitting seven digits only spurred him on more. For the last five years, he's been steadily working toward the next milestone, which he officially hit this month. That's not to say he never spends down the reward points he, along with his wife, Amy, have been carefully accumulating. His points total across all of their cards does fluctuate month to month, especially when the couple is planning their latest travel adventure. Racking up credit card reward points is not just about hitting the big number, Hutchins says. The rewards allow him to indulge in the one thing he loves but would never otherwise splurge on: travel. Over the years, Hutchins and his wife have taken trips to Europe, India, Egypt, Japan, and even Bora Bora last year, all using credit card points. "With credit card rewards, the magic is finding the thing that you care about that you can use them to maximize it," he says. And not all the points are used to jet to exotic locales. Hutchins says he cashed in points for a flight to Denver last month because it was a better deal. Yet despite spending his rewards, he still racks points up at a higher rate than he spends them, hence the current 10.3 million total. Hutchins admits his credit card usage is "extreme." The average person has about three credit cards. But Hutchins is not average. He has 16 credit cards and a credit score of 817, while Amy also has several cards in her name, too. Related video: A beginner's guide to credit card rewards How he got started gaming credit card rewards First, there was just a single card: a United Airlines credit card Hutchins got in college. "I was like, 'Man every time I spend a dollar I get a mile, and if I get enough credit card points I could fly somewhere for free,'" Hutchins reminisces, saying that he's loved traveling his whole life. "I think my love for travel is what drove this. I thought: 'Wow, I don't have a lot of money, but if I maximize my points I can go on these trips and I don't have to pay for them.'" In 2005, while in college, Hutchins cashed in his points and flew to Europe on a whirlwind summer vacation with his then-girlfriend/now-wife, Amy, which included stops in France, Italy and Spain. After the 2008 financial crisis, Hutchins co-founded Milk, a mobile app incubator in San Francisco, which was acquired (and Hutchins was hired) by Google in 2012. From there, his wallet, and his interest in the credit card points game, grew exponentially. 'When I was working at Google, I would be the first person to volunteer to pay for the happy hour we are hosting for our team or plan the off-site that we're taking and book the venue," Hutchins says, adding that he was always volunteering to spend money when he would be reimbursed. "I think that's the source of a lot of point maximization." The crazy things he does for points Over the years, Hutchins has developed some creative hacks to score the biggest bang for his buck. For example, he buys Whole Foods gift cards at OfficeMax because he has a business credit card that gives 5 points for every dollar spent at office supply stores. What really accelerated Hutchins' points total was some extreme party planning. "In the last eight years, I've had plenty of friends decide to get married and every single time there was a bachelor or a bachelorette party, I volunteered to help plan it," he says. That meant paying upfront for trips to Cabo, Mexico, for example, which was a goldmine of points when you've got 15 people who need round-trip flights for $200 to $300 a pop, plus hotel rooms or a luxury rental house on the beach. And, of course, Hutchins put each one of those purchases on credit cards (such as American Express Platinum, which provides 5 points for every dollar you spend on flights) and was reimbursed later by his friends. It might sound risky but with one exception, Hutchins says he can't remember his friends ever flaking out on paying him back. The only big hiccup was his bachelor party in Cartagena, Colombia. The group flew Spirit Airlines, and the airline canceled its service to the city during the trip so nobody had flights home. Because everyone all had to get back to work, they all had to purchase new flights on other airlines, rather than waiting for the rebooked flight Spirit offered days later. "There was some contention about paying ... but eventually I got paid back," he says. When all tallied, Hutchins says he easily earned 35,000 to 40,000 points for each bachelor party. "I've probably done that 10 to 15 times," he says. His bachelor party weekends have slowed down in recent years, and Hutchins admits that now he generates more points through his business expenses. Even when he goes out to dinner, he doesn't rush to pick up the tab for the points. "Now that I have so many points, when I go out to dinner I just let my friend pay for dinner and I pay them back," he says. "I'm at a level where getting the extra 50 points at dinner isn't going to be meaningful to my balance." Making optimization a family affair Hutchins would be a lot further from his goal without the help of his wife Amy, also 34. Since they have joint accounts and share their money equally, it made sense to get her involved in gaming the credit card rewards. That meant that Amy, who works in business development at Lyft, had to get up to speed on how to best maximize points. In the beginning, when they would go out to dinner or shop together, Hutchins would quiz his wife on the best card to use to get the most amount of points. And while it may seem overbearing, Amy says she quickly realized the benefits of making her purchases count. "It was one of those things that I was, frankly, annoyed by at first," Amy tells CNBC Make It. "But ultimately, I started seeing that our points were accruing in our accounts far more rapidly because I was making these pretty small changes." "The first moment my wife and I took a vacation and we didn't spend anything on the flights and stayed at nice hotels, I think everything changed," Hutchins says. He even typed out instructions on an index card, essentially a "cheat sheet" that identified which credit card to use for different types of purchases. "A part of me was like, 'This couldn't be more annoying,' and the other part of me was like, 'this is kind of cute,'" Amy says. But while she understands the value of points, Amy says she still doesn't want to ever go "full-fledged nuts on optimization." Instead, she leaves the bulk of the organization to her husband. "Thank god I married an optimizer so he essentially does [all the work] for me," she says with a laugh. "I joke with my friends and family that honestly, if he wasn't around, I don't know how I'd survive on my own because he's gotten so good at optimizing for me." And Hutchins really does maximize the rewards potential. He even used points to hire a videographer for his wedding. "We told our videographer we were going to the Seychelles [for our honeymoon], and she had said 'Man, there's nothing I want more than go there with my husband.'" So Hutchins stuck a deal: not only did he use points to get plane tickets for a Seychelles honeymoon for him and Amy, he used points to get the videographer and her husband tickets to the Seychelles in exchange for her working his wedding for free. "He's essentially a life hacker," Amy says, adding her husband's desire to figure out ways to live better and be more efficient goes beyond just credit cards. What it takes to maximize While he loves to game any system, particularly credit card rewards, Hutchins is the first to admit it's not exactly effortless. Hutchins still has to do a bit of work to really optimize his rewards. In fact, he has two main spreadsheets he uses to keep track of all his points across those 16 different credit cards, most of which are offered through either Chase or American Express. And of course, you have to keep spending. Currently, Hutchins estimates he spends about $90,000 a year on all his living expenses, over half of which (about $55,000) he puts on credit cards. Expenses such as the mortgage, property taxes and a dog walker are paid directly. He estimates that given his current spending across all his credit cards, he averages about 3 points per dollar, so in any given year, he's earning at least 150,000 in points. On his AmEx Gold alone, Hutchins spends about $1,600 a month and over 84% of those purchases are at restaurants, which earns him 4 points per dollar. "If you can't pay the bills at the end of the month, I would say points aren't worth it," Hutchins says. He tells people who are interested in getting into the credit card points game to make sure that they're able to get to a place with their cash flow that they're paying off their credit cards each month before they start earning the points on them because "it can get kind of costly," he says. Not only that, he has to keep up with how airlines, hotels and the credit card companies change their policies for both accruing and cashing in the points. "The deeper you go down this rabbit hole of credit card points the more time it ends up taking," he says. Living the point life And yet, points are currency, at least for Hutchins. He estimates that if he didn't maximize credit card reward points, he and his wife would likely have to work five or 10 years longer to afford to travel and save for retirement. Instead, they spend what they would normally, but because they make the points work for them, they get to reap the rewards. Since opening Grove in 2016, Hutchins says his personal travel has slowed a bit; he's now taking about two or three big trips a year. "The upside of owning a business is that you have a lot of business expenses and the downside is you have no time to take vacation," Hutchins says, adding he definitely maximizes those business purchases for points. But when he does travel, the savings from his credit card rewards are worth every second he spends optimizing them. Hutchins estimates that he saves between $15,000 to $20,000 a year that he would otherwise have to pay to do the same type of traveling. The points, he says, give him and Amy the freedom to enjoy luxuries he'd never want to spend money on. "There's no world where I would ever buy an international business class ticket with my money," Hutchins says. Even after hitting the 10 million goal, he still plans to continue maximizing his points. But he says maybe he'll start really trying to spend down that crazy balance. "I'll never stop optimizing, but at this point I'd love to never get to 15 million," Hutchins says. "I think if there's a lesson to take away from getting to 10 million, it's that nobody should ever get there, because it's just a sign that you aren't using your points." Now he just wants to take a trip and drive the number down. "One trip I really want to take is to Australia and New Zealand, primarily because I went to Australia on a free trip without my wife and so I've been getting flak for that ever since." "It's a great place to go with points because it's super far away and you need a lot of time so that's one trip I really want to take."

Atletico Madrid faced the MLS All-Stars in the annual one-off match at the Exploria Stadium in Orlando on Wednesday and ran out comfortable 3-0 winners. Goals from Marcos Llorente, Joao Felix and Diego Costa handed Atleti the victory in the United States, but it was the Portuguese teenage sensation who stole the show in front of a full house. Los Rojiblancos opened the scoring in the 43rd minute, Llorente latching on to a delicate back heel by Rodrigo Riquelme and lashing home past All-Star keeper Andre Blake. The All-Stars had chances to equalise, but youngster Felix put the result beyond doubt, first with a wonderfully taken goal and then a delightful assist to present Costa with the chance to round off the scoring. Here are our full player ratings from the 2019 MLS All-Star game. MLS All-Stars Brad Guzan (GK) - The veteran put in a solid display and looked comfortable between the sticks until his substitution on the half-hour mark. (7/10) Graham Zusi (RB) - Performed his duties admirably and showed strong defensive discipline until his substitution at half-time. (7/10) Walker Zimmerman (CB) - A good defensive display from the Los Angeles defender, marshaling his backline authoritatively and limiting the opportunities created by Los Rojiblancos. Beaten by a wonderful back heel for the first goal. (7/10) Matt Hedges (CB) - Played well alongside Zimmerman as the pair snuffed out the threat of Angel Correa. Commanded the backline well and showed great composure during the first half. (8/10) Kemar Lawrence (LB) - Solid defensively but failed to make the most of crossing opportunities when given the chance. (6/10 ) Diego Chara (CDM) - Chara was tasked with anchoring the All-Star midfield and did a commendable job in stopping Atleti attacks and re-starting MLS advances. (6/10) Carlos Vela (RM) - Failed to make an impact during his 45 minutes and flitted in and out of the game. (5/10) Wayne Rooney (CM) - Looked at ease in midfield and performed well in the first half. Forced the Atleti keeper into a fine save with a rasping drive from distance. (7/10) Alejandro Pozuelo (CM) - Kept All-Stars play moving nicely and was heavily involved, but the midfielder was unable to provide the cutting edge required to pick apart the Atleti defence. (6/10) Nani (LM) - Struggled to get a foothold in the match and appeared rather subdued. Substituted at half-time. (5/10) Zlatan Ibrahimovic (ST) - The Swede's hold-up play was as good as ever, but failed to muster up any real scoring opportunities and had little impact on proceedings. Substituted after 30 mins. (5/10) Substitutes Andre Blake (30 mins for Guzan) - Could do little to prevent Llorente's smart finish just before half-time, and performed the remainder of his duties efficiently . (7/10) Josef Martinez (30 mins for Ibrahimovic) - Failed to make his mark in his half-hour cameo before his substitution. (5/10) Maxi Moralez (45 mins for Chara) - Replaced Chara at half-time and continued the good work by his predecessor. A solid display and plenty of slick passing from the New York City midfielder. (7/10) Romain Metanire (45 mins for Zusi) - Performed well and provided a better attacking threat down the All-Stars' right flank, but ultimately was caught out of position in the latter stages as the MLS outfit tried to get back into the game . (6/10) Nicolas Lodeiro (45 mins for Vela) - Wasted a great chance to equalise for the All-Stars when he found himself in acres of space in the box, but fired straight at Adan. Contributed little else. (5/10) Diego Rossi (45 mins for Nani) - Went close for the All-Stars with a sweetly-struck volley, but his effort crashed into the side-netting. Posed a threat throughout his half an hour on the pitch. (7/10) Mark-Anthony Kaye (45 mins for Lawrence) - Looked to be an improvement on Lawrence, as he gave an assured and steady performance and provided a great through ball which Lodeiro should have put away. (7/10) Leandro Gonzalez Pirez (45 minutes for Hedges) - Continued the good work of Hedges at the heart of the defence and managed to keep Costa quiet admirably . (7/10) Jonathan dos Santos ( 45 mins for Pozuelo) - Buzzed around the pitch with his usual energy and combined his excellent passing with a great tenacity. (7/10) Bastian Schweinsteiger (45 mins for Zimmerman) - Looked far off the pace throughout the game and was beaten all ends up by Costa in a foot race for the final goal. Disappointing contribution from the World Cup winner . (4/10) Pity Martinez (45 mins for Rooney) - Did not fill the boots of the dominant Englishman as the MLS side lost their grip in the midfield battle. Wasted several shooting opportunities. (4/10) Nick Rimando (59 mins for Blake) - Questions must be asked of the shot-stopper after he failed to keep out Joao Felix's shot, albeit an impressive finish. Did not look assured during his half an hour for the All-Stars. (4/10) Chris Wondolowski (59 mins for Josef Martinez) - Offered little to change the game when the All-Stars needed an imposing attacking presence. (4/10) Ezequiel Barco (73 mins for Rossi) - Impressed with his direct running and gave the Atleti defence something to think about for the final 15 minutes. (7/10) Paxton Pomykal (73 mins for Moralez) - Failed to make an impact in his mini-cameo for the MLS side, and looked lost for the majority of his time on the pitch. (5/10) Atletico Madrid Antonio Adan (GK) - Made a smart save to deny Lodeiro and performed the rest of his tasks with ease. Substituted after 65 minutes. (7/10)  Carlos Isaac (RB) - The 21-year-old impressed for Atleti, showing great confidence in his defensive work and also creating problems for the All-Stars going forward. (8/10) Felipe (CB) - Didn't give Ibrahimovic or Martinez a sniff at goal during his spell on the pitch, and looked exceptionally composed for Los Rojiblancos. (8/10) Mario Hermoso (CB) - The other half of Atleti's new centre back pair coped equally as professionally as his partner, and dealt with everything that was thrown at him. (8/10) Manuel Sanchez (LB) - Defensively solid like the rest of the backline, but struggled to make an impact going forward. A decent performance until his substitution on 56 minutes. (7/10) Hector Herrera (CM) - A characteristically determined and dogged performance from the Mexican, as he intercepted passes and broke up play, allowing his teammates around him to thrive from his selflessness. (7/10) Marcos Llorente (CM) - Provided great energy and creativity in the Atleti midfield and took his goal with aplomb. Looks to be a great signing for the Spanish side. (8/10) Rodrigo Riquelme Reche (CAM) - Created the opening goal with a stunning back heel which completely tore apart a stubborn All-Star defence. Constantly caused problems and looked very lively. (8/10) Juan Manuel Sanabria Magole (RW) - Sanabria provided plenty of running to worry the All-Stars defence, but was taken off before he was able to make his mark. (6/10) Angel Correa (ST) - Performed his usual role with gusto, dragging defenders out of position, but didn't get the chance to put his name on the scoresheet. (6/10) Vitolo (LW) - A typically dynamic display from the Spaniard, causing plenty of headaches down the right side of the All-Star defence. A threat throughout. (7/10) Substitutes Toni Moya (35 mins for Sanabria) - Failed to demonstrate his true qualities in his 35 minutes on the pitch. (5/10) Diego Costa (56 mins for Correa) - The Spaniard did not repeat his four-goal heroics from the Real Madrid win, but the forward did get his reward for his hard work with a well-taken finish late on. (8/10) Koke (56 mins for Herrera) - Dictated play with ease and prevented the All-Star midfield from stamping any authority on proceedings. (7/10) Thomas Lemar (56 mins for Sanchez) - The Frenchman's Atleti struggles continued as he failed to leave his mark on the game. (5/10) Sergio Camello (56 mins for Riquelme) - Failed to make an impact in his short time on the pitch. Substituted on 82 mins. (5/10) Joao Felix (56 mins for Isaac) - A star performance from Atleti's record signing, as his goal and assist changed the game completely. The teenage sensation took his goal wonderfully, collecting a pass on the edge of the box and driving a knuckleball shot beyond Rimando. He then clipped a delightful ball over the top which Costa capitalised on in typical fashion. (9/10) Kieran Trippier (56 mins for Vitolo) - Looked very steady defensively and provided his usual barrage of dangerous crosses and quality deliveries. (7/10) Saul Niguez (56 mins for Llorente) - The Spaniard put in a very well-rounded display and helped to control the tempo of the game. (7/10) Stefan Savic (56 mins for Felipe) - Filled in for Felipe excellently, reminding Simeone of his defensive qualities ahead of the new season. (7/10) Francisco Montero (58 mins for Hermoso) - The 20-year-old showed a calmness beyond his years and put in an excellent defensive performance for his side. (7/10) Renan Lodi (59 mins for Moya) - Put in an exciting display in his half-hour cameo and the 21-year-old will be pleased with his outing. (7/10) Jan Oblak (65 mins for Adan) - A solid 25 minutes from one of the world's best keepers, keeping out a dangerous free-kick and remaining calm and alert throughout the match. (7/10) Ivan Saponjic (82 mins for Camello) - Insufficient time to make any impact. (N/A)


The Indianapolis Colts wide receiver competition is expected to be an intriguing part of training camp, especially with some in the room coming back from injury. Name: Deon Cain Position: WR Height: 6-foot-2 Weight: 202 Age: 22 Year Drafted: 2018 (sixth round) Background A product of Clemson, Cain was drafted by the Colts in the sixth round in 2018 hoping he would compete for a role in a thin wide receiver room. Unfortunately, he truly never got the chance after suffering a torn ACL in the preseason opener against the Seattle Seahawks. Cain has been rehabbing his way back from the surgery and is expected to be ready for training camp, even though it might be a little longer until he's 100% back to normal. 2019 Outlook Before his torn ACL, Cain was on the fast track to earn a solid role in the offense. The path to a significant role this year won't be as easy. He's coming off of the torn ACL, and he must battle with a deeper wide receiver corps-including the likes of Parris Campbell and Devin Funchess. Cain is an athletic wide receiver that can be used in several roles. The hope is he can work both on the outside and on the inside while providing Andrew Luck with another reliable set of hands. Bottom Line It's difficult to predict how Cain might do in 2019. We won't truly know what type of role he will get until he straps the pads on and plays during the preseason. However, he should be considered one of the candidates to be in the competition for significant roles in the room once he does return.

Any construction project requires many people: developers, engineers, architects, general contractors, demolition subcontractors, plumbers, and more. The National Association of Home Builders estimates that it takes, on average, 22 subcontractors to build a single-family home   a number that multiplies quickly with the scale of a project. But when construction mishaps arise   during a job or after   having numerous people on-board presents a big question: Who is responsible? It's a question that arose during the 2013 Philadelphia building collapse that killed six people inside the Salvation Army Thrift Store . And it's a question that a Fishtown family is grappling with after their property was irreparably damaged by a construction error in the rowhouse next door. Construction accidents, big or small, often result in finger-pointing, as lawyers and insurance companies try to determine who is at fault. For decades in Pennsylvania, developers and general contractors have been able to require subcontractors and suppliers   such people as roofers and electricians   to assume all responsibility when an accident or injury occurs. That's because Pennsylvania, unlike other states, has operated without a robust anti-indemnification law for the construction industry. Practically, according to lawyers and subcontractors in the industry, that has meant that subcontractors looking for work are often faced with a tough choice: Sign a construction contract that agrees not to hold a project's owner, general contractor, or others responsible for any damage that occurs   even if it was their fault   or walk away and risk losing out on a job. "The reason we sign these contracts is because if I don't sign, my competition will," said Geoff Furtaw, co-owner of the Norristown-based Ceilings Inc., and president of the Interior Finish Contractors Association of the Delaware Valley, which is based in King of Prussia. "... From our perspective, everyone ought to be paying for their own experience." A bill proposed in Pennsylvania may soon help make that happen. Last week, State Reps. Michael Driscoll (D., Phila.) and Todd Stephens (R., Montgomery) introduced a bill that would require parties to hold themselves responsible for the accidents and injuries they cause. According to the anti-indemnification bill, any contract that requires a subcontractor to hold another party harmless would be "unenforceable." Industry observers say that legislation like this makes the construction industry more fair   and could have big implications for mom-and-pop construction companies. Because smaller Pennsylvania subcontractors often have been required to accept liability for other parties' negligence, their insurance costs are frequently higher. Any significant liability could put a small company out of business. Plus, the bill's authors argue, higher insurance premiums typically mean higher construction costs   something that can be passed on to a consumer. "We do think [this] will help the small-business owners on a lot of levels ... [and] will keep small businesses across the state on a level playing field," Driscoll said in an interview. Stephens said: "This is about fairness and accountability. It will ensure that those who are committing negligent acts are bearing financial responsibility for the damage they have caused, rather than passing that onto an innocent third party." When that happens, Stephens continued, "There are legal costs that can skyrocket." The bipartisan bill, if passed when the legislative session resumes this fall, would join several dozen other states that prevent subcontractors from having to accept liability for another party's negligence. Up until this point, Pennsylvania's statute has offered protection to only architects, engineers, and surveyors in some circumstances. The bill by Driscoll and Stephens, as it is written, does not clearly mention property owners and developers of construction projects, or whether the statute would apply to their contracts with the people and companies that work on their sites. In interviews Monday, multiple construction and industry attorneys called the legislation significant   and something that could better hold the correct people accountable for their mistakes. "You can't contract away the responsibility for your own negligence anymore," said Carter N. Williamson, a partner at Philadelphia-based Horn Williamson. "Everybody is responsible for their own negligence." In addition, the bill   if passed   could shift the power dynamic in the industry, said James Busenlener, a lawyer with experience in indemnity cases and the managing partner of Matthiesen, Wickert & Lehrer, S.C.'s New Orleans branch office. "Most of the time, these [statutes] are enacted because legislatures are concerned that one party has too much power over one another," Busenlener said. "There's an inequity there." Representatives from two large general contracting companies based in Philadelphia did not return calls about the legislation. The bill so far has found support from multiple local and national subcontractor associations.     ©2019 The Philadelphia Inquirer Visit The Philadelphia Inquirer at www.inquirer.com Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
