Question: in restaurants to offer customers plastic straws without first being asked . Since introducing his bill last week    Democratic Assemblyman Ian Calderon  has been the target of scorn from critics who call  his  proposal " absurd " and an overreach of government . " It really is a reasonable measured approach that I think will make a difference  "  Calderon  told ABC News on Monday about  his  proposed bill . California State Asssembly  He  explained that when  he  sent the proposal to the state legislative rules committee   health and safety code penalties were automatically tacked on   making it a misdemeanor punishable by six months in jail and a $ 1   000 fine for dine - in restaurants caught offering plastic straws without being requested . " I didn ' t actually ask for penalties  " Calderon said . " They were more or less prescribed to my bill by the code section ." But critics immediately jumped on him . Assemblyman Travis Allen   a Republican candidate for governor of California   asked people on his campaign Facebook page to protest the bill by flooding Calderon ' s office with plastic straws . California State Assembly " Instead of tackling the real issues   today ' s California Democrats are more interested in giving jail time to waiters offering their customers the convenience of having a straw  " Allen told ABC News on Monday . " This is one absurd bill   but it highlights how ridiculous the California Democrats have gotten . This is clearly the last straw ." Paul Preston said such laws are the reason he co - founded a movement to break up the state and form a New California   where regulations aren ' t overbearing and discouraging to businesses . " It ' s absolute lunacy  " Preston told ABC News of  Calderon  ' s bill . " They are criminalizing everything we do . It ' s over the top ."  Calderon  brushed off the bashing   saying an estimated 500 million plastic straws are used every day in the United States and most are just used once and discarded .  He  said plastic straws and stirrers were the sixth most common items collected during California Coastal Cleanup Days between 1989 and 2014 . " We need to create awareness around the issue of one - time use of plastic straws and its detrimental effects on our landfills   waterways and oceans  " Calderon said . STOCK PHOTO / Getty Images He said he ' ll work to get the bill ' s language rewritten so that no one fears going to jail or paying hefty fines for handing out plastic straws . He said he expects the bill to reach Gov . Jerry Brown ' s desk for approval in about two months . " Nobody is going to jail   nobody is going to be getting a $ 1   000 fine  " said Calderon   adding that the bill does not affect fast - food restaurants or grocery stores . He said critics like Allen are " grasping at straws " by saying such legislation is hurting businesses in California . " It ' s a ridiculous argument  " he said . Sharokina Shams -- a spokeswoman for the California Restaurant Association   which represents more than 20   000 restaurants in the state -- told ABC News her group is taking a wait - and - see approach on  Calderon  ' s bill . " The association will study the bill ' s potential impacts and consult with its membership before taking an officials stance on the bill  " said Shams   adding that  Calderon  ' s proposal " is preferable to an outright ban on straws ." Matt Davis   a spokesman for the national environmental group Clean Water Action   said Calderon ' s proposal makes sense . " It ' s great he ' s doing it  " Davis told ABC News . " It does reduce the amount of straws that restaurants are giving out and that ' s a good thing ." He said cities such as Alameda   California   have passed local straws - on - request ordinances and that many restaurants have saved money by not having to provide so many straws . He compared it to the plastic shopping bag ban passed by California voters in 2016 or water - on - request ordinances used to combat the state ' s drought   saying people got used to it . In New Jersey   too   local businesses have been participating in an initiative to reduce plastic straw use . And it has dramatically reduced the number of straws the companies are giving out   according to the Montclair Local . A local eatery said it was using about a tenth of the straws it had previously used on a monthly basis   from 6   800 straws to 650   the paper reported . Back in California   Davis said Calderon ' s concerns that plastic straws are fouling up the ocean are real . " There is going to be more plastic in the ocean than there are fish by 2050  " Davis said   citing a study by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation that was presented to the World Economic Forum in 2016 . He said that plastic breaks down into minute particles that fish mistake for food . " I don ' t want plastic in my sushi  " he said .

Answer: Ian Calderon


Question: Sayfullo Saipov  29  who arrived in the U.S. from Uzbekistan in 2010   entered the plea in U.S. District Court in Manhattan in connection with the Oct. 31 vehicle attack.
After the attack  investigators say  Saipov  told them  he  was inspired by watching Islamic State propaganda videos and that " he  felt good about what  he  had done " NPR's Joel Rose reports.
 His  court-appointed lawyer declined to comment after the hearing.
Days later  President Trump tweeted that  Saipov  "SHOULD GET DEATH PENALTY!" and perhaps be sent to U.S. military's detention center at Guantanamo Bay  Cuba. As The Washington Post has noted  the president's "off-the-cuff remarks seemed to risk complicating matters for federal prosecutors."
After  Saipov 's plea on Tuesday  his court-appointed attorney  David Patton  declined to comment on the case  according to Reuters.
In the attack   Saipov  is alleged to have driven a rented Home Depot pickup onto the bike path along the West Side Highway  mowing down people until the vehicle collided with a school bus. After the crash   he  allegedly jumped out of the truck yelling "God is great" in Arabic.
Even so  authorities reportedly believe  Saipov  was a "lone wolf."
Reuters says Saipov's sister  Umida Saipova  told the news agency in a phone interview earlier this month from Tashkent  Uzbekistan  that she believed her brother had been "brainwashed." Reuters says it also interviewed an Uzbek acquaintance of  Saipov  living in Ohio  Mirrakhmat Muminov  who said that  Saipov  became religious after moving to the United States in 2010.

Answer: Sayfullo Saipov


Question: "Yes  we've raised a lot of capital but we've had a great use for those funds " said Petrohawk Chairman and CEO Floyd Wilson.
 In that time the company took its acreage in the Haynesville and grew it to become a top producer of natural gas from the tight  cement-like shales that until recent years were considered too expensive to drill. And almost single-handedly Petrohawk made the rest of the world aware of the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas  becoming the dominant player there.
 to become a top producer of natural gas from the tight  cement-like shales that until recent years were considered too expensive to drill. And almost single-handedly Petrohawk made the rest of the world aware of the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas  becoming the dominant player there.
 All told  Petrohawk has gone from being a firm with 4 trillion cubic feet equivalent of gas reserves and a $3 billion market capitalization in December 2007 to 34 tcf in reserves and a $7 billion market cap. With the scale also has come greater efficiency: Petrohawk went from 25 000 wells to 5 000 in that same time.
 Kinder Morgan Chairman and CEO Rich Kinder said the Petrohawk deal will let his company benefit from what he sees as a long  steady future of shale gas production.
 Tuesday's deal takes Petrohawk's existing 170-mile natural gas gathering and processing system and turns it into a stand-alone joint venture with its own employees  executive team and board of directors. That transition will happen over the next six months.
 The system will expand to 375 miles by the end of the year anchored by years of production from Petrohawk's wells. It could grow further if other producers hook into it.
 Co. analysts said they liked the higher-than-expected price Petrohawk got for the joint venture. And Tudor Pickering
 Holt analysts were positive on news that Petrohawk would cut $50 million in gas drilling costs because of improved operational efficiencies  while increasing oil production from South Texas holdings.
 Shares of Petrohawk were up 57 cents Tuesday  or 2.5 percent  to close at $23.18. Shares of Kinder Morgan were down about 73 cents  or about 1 percent  to close at $66.50.

Answer:
Petrohawk
