DALLAS (AP) — Delta Air Lines will be able to continue operating flights at Dallas Love Field for another six years, under a settlement approved by the city council. The agreement, which passed without debate this week, appears to end a long court fight over gates at the city-owned airport near downtown Dallas that is dominated by Southwest Airlines. Delta has shared one of the airport’s 20 gates with Southwest since 2014, and currently uses it for up to five daily flights between Dallas and Atlanta. Southwest, which subleased the gate from United Airlines, has tried to remove rival Delta for several years. Southwest controls 17 other gates. Airlines have fought over Love Field because it is more convenient for many travelers than DFW Airport, 16 miles away, and because a law passed by Congress in 2006 capped Love Field at 20 gates. Dallas officials commissioned a study that suggested expanding Love Field, KXAS-TV in Dallas reported.

There are only two days left in the first round of All-Star voting and two Astros – second baseman Jose Altuve and designated hitter Yordan Alvarez – are starting to look like locks to advance to phase two of the process, which begins next Tuesday and runs for three days. After the first round of voting, which ends at 1 p.m. Thursday, the top two vote-getters at each position - and top six outfielders - will advance to the second phase with fans choosing among the finalists at each position. Voting, which selects the starting position players in the All-Star Game, is ongoing at MLB.com . Altuve and Alvarez are the leading vote-getters at their positions. Alvarez has 1.37 million votes, which puts him more than 400,000 votes ahead of the Angels’ Shohei Ohtani and more than 850,000 votes ahead of the Blue Jays’ Danny Jansen, making Alvarez all but certain to advance to the next phase of voting. Altuve, who has 1.25 million votes, doesn’t have quite as safe of a lead. He’s more … [Read more...] about Astros’ Jose Altuve, Yordan Alvarez still on track to be All-Star voting finalists

The made in India Maruti Suzuki S-Presso has been crash tested by Global NCAP under its Safer Cars for Africa programme. The Suzuki S-Presso is exported from India to African markets, and is the one tested. It has scored three stars for adult occupant protection and two stars for child occupant protection. The Maruti Suzuki S-Presso had previously been crash tested by Global NCAP in November 2020. That was also a made-in-India car - but one that was on sale in India. At the time the car had scored zero stars for adult occupant protection and the same for child safety. The S-Presso back then adhered to then Indian legal requirements of just a driver-side airbag. The lack of basic passive safety equipment, as well as an unstable structure had led to its poor showing.

After a year of sitting on the bench, John Wall is finally going to get back to playing basketball. The five-time All-Star guard reached an agreement with the Rockets on a buyout of the final year of his contract, and reportedly will sign a deal to join the Los Angeles Clippers. Wall was set to make $47.4 million from the Rockets, but reportedly agreed to accept about $40.9 million instead. Wall will make up that money by signing a deal with the Clippers for about $6.5 million, according to multiple reports . The Rockets acquired Wall and a first-round pick from the Washington Wizards in a trade for Russell Westbrook, who had a similarly overpriced contract, in 2020. Wall had a good first season in Houston, averaging 20.6 points and 6.9 assists in 40 games.
