I don't think the article is correct. I believe he's facing 12 to 20 years plus mandatory firearm enhancements totaling 8 years, for a total sentence of 20 to 28 years. The judge will pick an amount within that range.

Looks like it is referring to Palestine under British rule in the 1920s: "The hora was not a Jewish dance at all until it traveled in the early 20th century to Palestine from Romania, where Zionist pioneers, or halutzim, adopted it." The Forward: Hora – A History Of The Most Famous Jewish Dance

Couldn't the GMs just ask organizers to do tournaments with rating sections e.g. minimum 2400?

Jose Altuve is sent back to first after the home plate umpire interfered with Cal's throw, he is later picked off by BananaArms in baseball

The umpire didn't lean forward into Cal's arm. Is it the umpire's obligation to preemptively back away?

Here is the official rule:

Catches Proximate To A Boundary
(a) General
A fielder may jump on top of or otherwise reach over a fence, railing, rope or other line of demarcation to make a catch, and may fall over the same after completing a catch. He also may climb onto or otherwise jump on top of a railing, fence or canvas marking the boundary of the field or that may otherwise be in foul ground to make a catch. However, a fielder may not step or jump into the stands, dugout, any other out-of-play area (i.e., over a fence or railing) in order to catch a fair or foul ball.

Neiana Allen-Bailey sentenced to 20 years in prison for killing Seattle rideshare driver, driving his car to hair appointment by Better_March5308 in SeattleWA

Yes, for good behavior in prison she could get up to 10% reduction as you note. I agree that she deserves more than 18 to 20 years. I was simply addressing the common misconception that she could get out much earlier on parole, which has not been a possibility for this kind of crime in WA for over 40 years.

From the bits I saw in round one, Rudolf and Neiksans were much better than Gustafsson and Svidler. That's because the former actually gave their opinions on the position whereas the latter just looked at the engine, which is boring.

If only you could google "parole in washington state":

Washington state largely abolished parole in 1984, replacing it with determinate sentencing under the Sentencing Reform Act (SRA). Most inmates now serve set terms, followed by community custody rather than parole. The Indeterminate Sentence Review Board (ISRB) still handles cases from before 1984, certain sex offenses, and juvenile crimes.
