 The backlash against electric scooters shows some sign of waning as cities that cracked down on the startups begin thinking maybe they aren't so bad after all.Cities across the country moved aggressively to rein in, and even shut down, companies like Bird and Lime when hundreds of scooters filled their streets and cluttered their sidewalks seemingly overnight earlier this year. Many impounded the scooters. Some levied fines.Yet some cities are softening their stance as they realize scooters can play an integral role in easing congestion, reducing pollution, and bolstering public transit. And the startups, having watched companies such as Uber be penalized for antagonizing municipal governments, are willing to play nicely if it means expanding their market.Austin, Texas, offers a case in point. The city found itself inundated with Bird's sleek black scooters in April. Lime flooded the city with its bright green scooters a short time later."The human response would be, shake off the gloves and let's go. Let's fight this. You just disrupted my city," Jason JonMichael, assistant director of Austin's smart mobility program, told CNNMoney.Instead, city officials talked things over. As it happened, they'd been planning a dockless bikesharing program. Their plan called for eventually adding scooters to the mix, so they decided to work with the companies to make it happen, JonMichael said.Rather than issue a cease and desist letter -- an approach some cities took -- Austin warned the companies that it would confiscate scooters blocking sidewalks. And city officials set to work crafting an ordinance governing a permitting process for scooter services, including speed restrictions and fees for operating.Today you'll find 2,000 scooters all over Austin. People love them so much -- each scooter is ridden nearly 20 times daily -- that their batteries often go dead by noon, JonMichael said. And it's making life better in the city, too. JonMichael said people are taking fewer solo trips in cars, which means less congestion and pollution.The city reviews each company's performance every six months, reserving the right to revoke the license of anyone who isn't playing by the rules. That's got the startups working hard to stay in the city's good graces by offering discounted rides to low-income residents and developing tools that allow people to report bad behavior by anyone zipping along on a scooter.City officials now see scooter and bikeshare firms as allies in their efforts to improve quality of life and expand transit options. The startups are "bringing to the table discussions about developing a roadmap to deploy transportation that from the get-go has equity and access for all built into it," JonMicheal said.Bird hopes to broker a similar alliance in its hometown of Santa Monica, California. The company launched in September 2017 and followed the ridesharing playbook that says it's better to seek forgiveness than permission. Bird launched without proper business licenses, and in February agreed to pay the city 0,000 in fines to settle a criminal complaint.Despite the trouble, Santa Monica officials wanted electric scooters to stay given their focus on multi-modal transportation and carbon-light living. The city gave Bird and Lime conditional permits while it worked to set up a 16-month pilot program. Earlier this month, the Santa Monica government ranked applicants to its scooter program, and Bird placed 10th."That was a real wake-up call. This is a fantastic business, and there's a lot of competitors who want to do it," Dave Estrada, the Chief Legal Officer at Bird told CNNMoney. "It really helped us take a good look at how we were doing operations and how we can best serve cities."That explains why Bird on Wednesday announced several concessions intended to curry favor with Santa Monica and other cities. It will let cities designate no-go areas where people can't ride or park scooters. It will grant cities the option to convey the rules of the road and other safety tips in messages users see before riding off. And it will share data that will help cities understand how people are using its scooters.Bird went so far as to resubmit its Santa Monica application earlier this month, to be more appealing to the government. At the city's request, it has begun limiting the speed of its scooters to 5 mph on the beach path, and in Palisades Park, two areas that have been controversial. It also plans to send text alerts to riders who stray into areas where cities don't want scooters.A lingering challenge for the industry is sidewalk riding, which irritates many pedestrians. The scooter companies instruct customers to ride in bike lanes, but bike lanes are rare and sometimes customers still choose sidewalks. Bird is exploring ways to discourage sidewalk riding, by automatically detecting with sensors when a scooter is on a sidewalk.It may not be popular with every rider, but the startup has realized that cities are its customers too."We started understanding that we had one customer, the rider," Estrada said. "Now we really understand a lot better that customers include cities and people who don't ride Birds." 5222

CHULA VISTA, Calif. (KGTV) - A report of two men going door to door in a Chula Vista neighborhood with a COVID-related offer is raising alarm bells. The knock at the door came just past 6:30 p.m. Friday. Two men, their masks pulled below their mouths, were standing outside Anna's home near Southwestern College."Can I help you?" she is heard asking in her Ring doorbell video.Anna's question gets an odd reply."We're looking for the queen of the castle," said the man at the door.Moments later, the man at the door makes his pitch."We're going door to door doing COVID testing. Have you been tested?" he asks.Anna, an ICU social worker, sensed something shady."I work at a hospital. No, no, no. Goodbye!" she exclaimed in the video.Just 10 minutes prior, the man who was standing back in the video, was at the home of neighbor Alice Segobia with a different offer."He asked about new metering that was coming. Asked if I was the homeowner. I lied to get him out of the house, said I didn't own my home," said Segobia.Segobia also abruptly said goodbye, so she never found out what he was after. But minutes later, the other man's COVID-19 test offer is one James Lee of the Identity Theft Resource Center is familiar with. He points to reports of door-to-door COVID testing scams a month ago, especially in the Midwest. Often, there is a promise of a test that never happens."What they're really after is personal information ... It ends up someone divulging credit or debit card information and nothing ever arrives," said Lee."To prey on people's fears at this time and to take advantage of them is a horrible thing to do," said Anna. Anna did call police, but the men were gone by the time the officers arrived.Anyone who encounter a similar door-to-door offer is asked to call Chula Vista Police at (619) 691-5151. 1829

 A federal judge has ruled that the White House must immediately restore CNN reporter Jim Acosta's hard press pass, the Associated Press reports.Judge Timothy J. Kelly, a Trump appointee, made the ruling on Friday morning.CNN sued the White House earlier this week after the White House revoked Acosta's pass due to a Nov. 7 incident during a White House press conference in which a White House staffer attempted to grab a microphone from Acosta as he attempted to ask a follow-up question. President Trump had told Acosta multiple times he wanted to give another reporter the opportunity to ask a question.More on this as it develops. 653

(AP) — U.S. health officials have allowed emergency use of a second antibody drug to help the immune system fight COVID-19. It's an experimental medicine that President Donald Trump was given when he was sickened last month. The Food and Drug Administration on Saturday authorized use of the Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. drug for people with mild-to-moderate symptoms. Tests of the drug are continuing, but early results suggest it may prevent hospitalization and emergency room visits. Use is allowed for adults and children 12 and over who are at high risk of severe illness from COVID-19 because of age or certain other medical conditions. 652

"In the early morning hours of July 29, 2019, Mineral County Sheriff's Deputies assisted agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation in a search of a residence located in Walker Lake, Nevada.

Mineral County Sheriff Randy Adams stated that 'Mineral County Deputies supported FBI agents by obtaining a search warrant for a unit in a triplex located in at Walker Lake. As this is an ongoing investigation, we are not able to comment further at this time.'" 594
