By MARC LEVY HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania conceded his reelection bid to Republican David McCormick on Thursday, as a statewide recount showed no signs of closing the gap and his campaign suffered repeated blows in court in its effort to get potentially favorable ballots counted. Casey’s concession comes more than two weeks after Election Day, as a grindingly slow ballot-counting process became a spectacle of hours-long election board meetings, social media outrage, lawsuits and accusations that some county officials were openly flouting the law. Republicans had been claiming that Democrats were trying to steal McCormick’s seat by counting “illegal votes.” Casey’s campaign had accused of Republicans of trying to block enough votes to prevent him from pulling ahead and winning. In a statement, Casey said he had just called McCormick to congratulate him. “As the first count of ballots is completed, Pennsylvanians can move forward with the knowledge that their voices were heard, whether their vote was the first to be counted or the last,” Casey said. The Associated Press called the race for McCormick on Nov. 7, concluding that not enough ballots remained to be counted in areas Casey was winning for him to take the lead. As of Thursday, McCormick led by about 16,000 votes out of almost 7 million ballots counted. That was well within the 0.5% margin threshold to trigger an automatic statewide recount under Pennsylvania law. But no election official expected a recount to change more than a couple hundred votes or so, and Pennsylvania’s highest court dealt him a blow when it refused entreaties to allow counties to count mail-in ballots that lacked a correct handwritten date on the return envelope. Republicans will have a 53-47 majority next year in the U.S. Senate. Follow Marc Levy at twitter.com/timelywriter

After Trump’s Project 2025 denials, he is tapping its authors and influencers for key rolesPOET Stock Hits Over 2-Year Highs Fueled By New Manufacturing Deal: Retail Cheers

Mother’s Grace for HPSL Golconda 1000 GuineasMarket Alert: Actelis Networks Lands Expansion Orders for Washington DC Transportation Department Multi-Billion Dollar PartnerDonald Trump has described the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) as a “green scam” and vowed to repeal it after he returns to the White House in January. This is bad news for sectors such as electric vehicles (EV) and wind power, which have been major recipients of the Biden administration’s signature $369 billion energy transition legislation. But some of the “new green deal” money has also been channeled to the US industrial base, such as the $75 million allocated for an upgrade of Constellium’s aluminum rolling mill in West Virginia. Will this too be clawed back? It seems unlikely because when it comes to rebuilding US industrial capacity and cutting the country’s critical minerals dependency on China, there is remarkable cross-party consensus. Indeed, it was then-President Trump who in 2020 declared the country’s “undue reliance” on “foreign adversaries” for critical minerals a national emergency. Trump in his second presidency is unlikely to reverse the drive to metallic self-sufficiency. He may even prove to be an accelerator. Investing in America Both the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Department of Defense (DOD) have pumped billions of dollars into rebuilding US metals capacity. The DOE has largely channeled funds to EV battery inputs such as lithium, manganese and graphite. The DOD has sprinkled the cash far more widely, targeting a spectrum of esoteric elements ranging from antimony to zirconium, including an unidentified “critical material” incongruously described as essential both for “the protection of human lives” and ammunition packaging. The Biden administration boasts that thanks to government largesse companies have announced $120 billion in investment in domestic battery and critical minerals capacity. Yet most of that investment has been concentrated on the downstream part of the supply chain. Seventeen new US battery plants have been announced since the IRA came into effect in July 2022, boosting pipeline capacity by 68% through 2030, according to research house Benchmark Mineral Intelligence. When it comes to investing in the metals needed to supply those gigafactories, most of the projects receiving federal funds are those looking to enhance existing recycling capacity. New primary smelting projects remain conspicuous by their absence. Century Aluminum has been awarded a potential $500 million to build a new aluminum smelter but there has been no update since the original announcement in March. Even the DOD’s high-priority rare earths processing venture with Australia’s Lynas Rare Earths has run into trouble. Earthworks at the Seadrift site in Texas have been put on hold due to problems getting a wastewater permit, Lynas said in its latest quarterly report. Stuck in the ground New smelting capacity needs new mines to supply it and that’s where the US minerals investment boom is still struggling to build momentum. Most of the funds committed to the mining sector have been directed at lithium, both for new mines such as Lithium Americas’ Thacker Pass and multiple projects experimenting with direct extraction technology. South32’s Hermosa zinc-manganese project in Arizona is a non-lithium stand-out, qualifying for both DOD and DOE funds and the first mine to qualify for the Fast-41 accelerated permitting process. Many others, however, remain mired in the country’s tortuous permitting process. The Biden administration has struggled to reconcile its desire to produce the metals needed for the green energy transition with its environmental credentials. Big copper projects such as the Pebble mine in Alaska and the Twin Metals project in Minnesota have been killed off. Trump has already promised to reverse Biden’s 20-year ban on mining in the Superior National Forest in Minnesota in “about 10 to 15 minutes” of taking office. That in itself won’t be a green light for the Twin Metals project, which would still have to get state permitting sign-off, but it’s a sign that the Trump administration won’t be hobbled by the green-on-green cabinet conflict that characterized the last four years. Focus on China A new Trump administration is also likely to take a much tougher line on critical metal imports from entities linked to China. Talon Metals has been allocated funds by both the DOD and DOE to progress its Tamarack nickel project in Minnesota and explore for more resource in the state. It’s a tough time to be in the nickel business, though, as a mining boom in Indonesia has crushed prices and forced many existing operators out of business. Most of Indonesia’s nickel capacity is controlled either directly or indirectly by Chinese entities, which has not stopped US carmakers such as Ford from joining the Indonesian nickel rush. Price has trumped politics when it comes to securing a key metal for EV batteries. Depending on the structure of the joint venture between Ford, Vale and China’s Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt, the nickel from the new plant in Indonesia could even count as IRA-compliant and qualify for federal EV subsidies. Such sourcing ambiguity seems unlikely to survive the Make America Great Again focus of a new Republican administration. Indeed, every sign so far is that Trump 2.0 will double down on the US minerals self-sufficiency drive, even if it means accepting that not all of the IRA funds are a “green scam”.

Is Outlook down? Thousands of Microsoft 365 users report outage issuesSUNBURY — Shikellamy students had the opportunity to listen to a 23-year-old New Jersey genealogist who helped the state police solve the oldest cold case in the state. Shikellamy Police Chief Shawn Williams was able to get Eric Schubert, now of Lancaster, to speak to the law enforcement club last week about how he helped troopers, including Williams, a retired corporal in the state police, solve the 57-year-old cold case of 9-year-old Marise Chiverella by matching DNA to a deceased suspect. Chiverella was found dead March 18, 1964, in a strip mine pit, near Hazleton, Luzerne County, police said. State police said James Paul Forte, 38, a bartender with a history of sexual assault, kidnapped the child, then raped and killed her. Police said Forte died of natural causes in 1980. Police said Forte, who was 22 at the time of the murder, had no known connection to the little girl or her family. State police said the girl left her home on March 18 and was taken by Forte. The case remained open for 57 years and thanks to Schubert, a DNA match was discovered and it was a perfect match to Forte whose DNA was discovered on the child's body. Generations of state police investigators pursued Marise’s killer — more than 230 members of the department were involved in the probe at one time or another — but Forte’s name did not come up until 2020. By that time, new DNA technology had established a distant family connection to Forte, and Schubert, a college student at the time and expert in genetic genealogy who had volunteered to work the case, put together an extensive family tree that helped investigators narrow their suspect list. Schubert told Shikellamy students on Friday he began researching genetic genealogy when he was 8 years old. In early 2020, Schubert said he saw newspaper articles on the case and offered his assistance to Pennsylvania State Police. Troopers said they checked into Schubert’s background and discovered he had helped other law enforcement across the country in cold cases. Schubert was introduced to the case and met Williams who had been working with the Luzerne County District Attorney’s Office in 2019, with Deputy District Attorney Dan Zola and several other state troopers. After narrowing down the suspect list, Forte's body was exhumed from a cemetery near Hazleton and DNA was taken, police said. "This was a great opportunity for me that I don't really get," Schubert said about speaking to the students inside the Shikellamy High School auditorium via Zoom. "They were so interested in everything and I loved it because I remember sitting in their seats and listening to people speak who inspired me." Williams said more than 100 students participated in the session. "The Law Enforcement Club presentation by Eric Schubert was extremely interesting and on point," he said. "Not only did we discuss a cold case homicide and his involvement in solving the case but Eric also related his life successes and career pathway to a generation of students closer to his age. Eric's story, to get where he is, was very inspirational to our students. His mindset is to not let anything or setbacks stand in your way, that was his message." Williams said the presentation also utilized technology. "It was important to open up this presentation to not only law enforcement members but to science-minded individuals in our school. We included Mrs. Katie Wolfgang's honors biology class and they were in attendance for this presentation," Williams said. Assistant Principal Stephen Hafele said it was a great learning experience for students. "It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to have an in-depth look into some of the methods to solving crimes," he said. "The genealogical methods shared by Eric and the connection to science was great for our Honors Biology students to make real-world connections to what they are learning."
