ABOUT YOUNGBLOOD
Dean Youngblood was raised by his father, Blane, on a diet of toughness and hockey. When Dean is invited to join the Hamilton Mustangs, he travels to Canada from Detroit where his skill commands respect and his arrogance earns him fast enemies. Coach Chadwick, resentful of being saddled with such a toxic player, keeps Dean benched game after game. Dean’s frustration builds, culminating in a violent outburst involving rival goon Carl Racki that costs the Mustangs a significant win.
As Team Captain Sutton takes him under his wing, Dean begins to buck Blane’s teachings and his growing maturity spurs a relationship with Jessie – Coach Chadwick’s daughter – who gives Dean a run for his money on and off the ice. His newfound resolve draws the ire of Racki, who provokes Dean during a game by attacking and seriously injuring Sutton. As the final game of the playoffs approaches, so does his showdown with Racki and Dean’s choice as to what kind of man he wants to be.

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / January 13, 2026 / General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA‑EMS) has successfully integrated a dual‑instrument payload onto a GA‑150 satellite for NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s Total and Spectral Solar Irradiance Sensor‑2 (TSIS‑2) mission. This milestone extends the decades‑long continuous record of solar irradiance, a dataset critical to advancing scientific understanding of how solar variability influences the Earth system and its atmosphere.
GA-EMS advances TSIS-2 mission, integrating dual-instrument payload onto its GA-150 satellite set for sun-synchronous orbit to gather high-quality continuous data to monitor environmental changes and atmospheric variances from space.
GA‑EMS designed and manufactured the GA‑150 satellite at its Centennial, Colorado facility, where payload integration was completed. The work included performance checkouts and instrument alignment. Building on these milestones, the company has received an Authority to Operate (ATO) under NASA’s risk management framework, underscoring operational readiness. A full spacecraft test will be conducted to verify end‑to‑end communications and overall system performance going into 2026.
Unlike its predecessor, TSIS‑1, which operates aboard the International Space Station, TSIS‑2 will fly as a freestanding mission on a dedicated GA‑150 satellite. This independent platform will allow TSIS‑2 to collect uninterrupted measurements in sun‑synchronous orbit, ideal for satellite missions gathering high‑quality data to monitor weather, environmental changes, and atmospheric variances from space.
"Integrating the TSIS‑2 payload onto the GA‑150 is a significant milestone for our team and the mission," said Scott Forney, president of GA‑EMS. "The dedicated GA‑150 platform will help ensure NASA receives the high‑quality data this mission is designed to deliver."
The dual‑instrument payload, developed under a separate NASA Goddard contract awarded to the University of Colorado Boulder’s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP), includes the Total Irradiance Monitor (TIM) and Spectral Irradiance Monitor (SIM). These sensors contribute to continuous and vital long‑term data measurements necessary for quantifying the sun’s influence on Earth’s ozone layer, atmospheric circulation, clouds, and ecosystems throughout extensive solar energy cycles.
"Building on the outstanding success of the TSIS-1 mission, which has delivered the most accurate and stable measurements of the total and spectral solar irradiance since its 2017 launch, the TSIS-2 mission will allow our team at LASP to continue to improve this essential continuous solar data record," said Erik Richard, Ph.D., LASP principal investigator for TSIS-2. "Leveraging LASP’s long-standing leadership in solar irradiance measurements and instrument calibration, and in close partnership with NASA and General Atomics, we are proud to deliver the total and spectral solar irradiance monitors that will extend this irreplaceable time-series with unprecedented accuracy for the global scientific community."

Trustpoint Xposure Analysis Reveals How AI Tools Are Selecting One Company Instead of Many

Why AI Answer Engines Are Replacing Comparison With Elimination in Competitive Search
POST FALLS, ID / ACCESS Newswire / January 12, 2026 / Trustpoint Xposure, the only AEO-certified PR agency in the United States, released a new analysis explaining how AI tools are fundamentally restructuring competitive visibility. Unlike traditional search engines that present users with pages of options, AI answer engines increasingly generate a single synthesized recommendation, eliminating side-by-side comparison.
This shift represents a structural change in how discovery works. Rather than encouraging exploration, AI systems aim to reduce cognitive load by presenting what they determine to be the most authoritative answer. As a result, businesses are no longer competing to appear among options; they are competing to be selected at all.
When an AI system chooses one company as the answer, that company receives disproportionate visibility, while alternatives are frequently excluded from the decision process altogether.
Why AI Systems Narrow Results So Aggressively
AI systems are designed to reduce uncertainty. To accomplish this, they prioritize entities that demonstrate consistency across trusted environments rather than those making isolated claims. This includes structured AEO signals, corroborated third-party validation, and authoritative media placement that reinforces credibility over time.
Unlike human users, AI does not evaluate branding or persuasion. It evaluates patterns. When information about an organization appears repeatedly, consistently, and without contradiction across high-trust sources, AI systems gain confidence in reusing that entity as the answer.
Trustpoint Xposure is currently the only PR agency in the United States that has completed formal AEO certification and applies that certification through direct media access and AI answer validation.
This positioning explains why AI tools increasingly favor a single validated entity rather than presenting multiple competing options.
The Compounding Effect of AI Selection
Trustpoint Xposure’s analysis shows that once an organization becomes the default answer, AI systems tend to reuse that selection repeatedly across future queries. This creates a compounding effect in which authority reinforces itself, making displacement increasingly difficult over time.
Because AI models learn from their own outputs when reinforced by consistent external signals, early selection often leads to long-term dominance. Visibility becomes self-sustaining as long as the underlying authority signals remain stable.
What This Means for Businesses Competing in AI Search
For organizations asking how do I rank first in AI search, the implications are clear. Incremental optimization, short-term tactics, and surface-level online presence improvements are no longer sufficient. Success now depends on building durable authority through structured AEO, consistent media placement, and long-term reputation management.
AI visibility is not earned through volume. It is earned through validation. Businesses that fail to align with how AI systems evaluate trust risk will be excluded entirely from AI-generated answers, regardless of their historical performance in traditional search.
As AI tools continue to shape how decisions are made, being recognized as the one is becoming the defining factor in competitive visibility.

More electric vehicles means less gas tax revenue: How this impacts New York's budget

More electric vehicles means less gas tax revenue: How this impacts New York’s budget
Electric vehicles are more popular than ever, with 21% of new car sales in the United States being either electric, hybrid, or plug-in hybrid models. One of the unintended consequences of this consumer trend is the effect on gas tax revenue.
Every gasoline and diesel sale in the U.S. includes a small added tax. This tax is used to fund state transportation budgets, highway maintenance, and infrastructure projects. As a result of more EVs on the road, the amount of revenue generated by the gas tax is decreasing. This has created interesting financial repercussions, and a variety of solutions are being adopted to help.
Using fuel tax data from the Department of Energy and consumer EV trends from the Alternative Fuels Data Center, CheapInsurance.com analyzed the economic impact of the changing transportation landscape on New York and what’s being done to remedy the situation.
Nationwide EV adoption trends
Millions of Americans are choosing to purchase electric vehicles over traditional gas ones. The reasons include reduced charging costs compared to gas, lower emissions, and tax incentives.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics reported that, in 2024, there were 1.2 million electric vehicle sales and 1.6 million hybrid electric vehicle sales. This is up from 238,000 EV sales and 455,000 hybrid-electric sales in 2020. This upward trend is likely to continue.
CheapInsurance.com
A state-by-state breakdown
New York by the numbers
– Gas tax rate: $0.25
– 2023 total EV registrations: 131,300
– Energy expenditure per capita: $3,756
– EV registrations per 100k residents: 622.2 (#22 highest)
Top 5 states with the highest EV registrations per 100,000 residents
California – 3,025.6
Washington – 1,805.4
Hawai’i – 1,685.9
Oregon – 1,421.9
Colorado – 1,404.7
Bottom 5 states with the lowest EV registrations per 100,000 residents
Mississippi – 110.4
North Dakota – 111.7
West Virginia – 143.6
Louisiana – 164.6
South Dakota – 169.3
A look at gas tax revenue loss in key EV states
The states with the highest EV registration numbers per 100,000 residents have the most significant loss in gas tax revenue. The number of EV vehicles on the road compared to gasoline vehicles is still quite low, so impacts are not being strongly felt yet. However, many states are predicting substantial losses in their gas tax revenue over the next decade.
In California, for example, the Mineta Transportation Institute predicts that there will be a 64% loss in revenue from 2025 to 2040. In this study, researchers considered eight different scenarios, each with a different rate of how many EVs are purchased, how many people in the state drive, and how many personal vehicles get registered. Results used 2024 inflation-adjusted numbers.
Budget impacts on state transportation departments
Millions of dollars in losses will have a severe impact on state highway and transportation departments if left unaddressed. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 2024 data pulled from the National Association of State Budget Officers states that gas tax revenue accounts for 35.9% of state transportation department revenue nationwide.
Without this revenue, several impacts will be felt:
Deficits in highway and road maintenance
Slower completion of infrastructure projects
Less development and expansion
Higher vehicle maintenance costs for the general population
How states are responding and planning for the future
States are recognizing that action needs to be taken to secure transportation budgets. Pew Research Center reports that many states are suffering from budget gaps and are having difficulty completing projects like bridge repairs.
To tackle the issue of reduced gas tax revenue, many states have begun taking measures and implementing programs that will generate revenue from electric vehicles instead.
EV registration fees
The most significant way that governmental bodies have buoyed transportation department revenue is with EV registration fees. These fees are charged at the initial time of registration and on an annual basis.
Other states are opting for a road usage fee. In Hawai’i, EV owners are given the option to pay an annual, per-mile usage fee instead of a large registration fee. This is currently set at $0.08/mile, up to $50/year.
Oregon offers a similar program, called OReGO. California is also experimenting with its own pilot program.
What changes are needed on the road ahead?
It’s clear that policy change is needed to address the compounding loss in gas tax revenue as a result of widespread EV adoption. The amount of revenue that will need to be replaced is unclear, however, especially with an anticipated decline in EV demand due to the federal tax incentives ending.
Regardless, state agencies and the federal government will need to prioritize alternative methods for generating revenue. This could be through registration fees, road usage programs, or other revenue-generating systems that are put into place. It’s likely that the EV marketplace will continue to grow and that more households will begin replacing their gas vehicles, so prompt change is needed in the coming years.
