Woodward (WWD) Stock Trades Up, Here Is Why
BURLINGTON — Iowa’s state gambling regulators will hear arguments on a petition filed seeking to scuttle efforts to build a new casino in Cedar Rapids, but will not pause its review and decision on granting a Linn County casino license. The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission met Thursday morning in Burlington at Catfish Bend Casino. The commissioners unanimously directed racing and gaming staff to set a briefing schedule and hear arguments on a petition filed by Riverside Casino & Golf Resort and the Washington County Riverboat Foundation, the nonprofit affiliate and gaming license holder for the casino, seeking a declaratory order stating the state gaming commission lacks authority to issue a new license for a Cedar Rapids casino. The petition challenges the validity of the 2021 public referendum that authorized gambling in Linn County, which could prevent Linn County receiving a casino license. The petition was filed Nov. 8, and the commission had 30 days to respond under Iowa Code, with options including answering, declining or setting a schedule for further information. Commissioners ultimately agreed to set a schedule for hearing legal arguments from both sides before making a decision. Additionally, the commissioners rejected a request by Riverside Casino to pause the process on a Linn County casino license while the commission considers the petition. Commissioners cited insufficient grounds and procedural requirements, and stated it’s their intent to hear legal arguments from both sides before its Feb. 6 meeting, when the commission expects to vote on the Linn County license. “We ultimately have to decide whether the various criteria to issue a license had been done,” Commissioner Alan Ostergren said. “And so we can't avoid this question, which is going to have to be decided in one format or another, one time frame or another, and I have the preference of setting a briefing schedule so that we ensure that we give the Linn County folks the full opportunity, if they choose to participate in the process, to present the best legal arguments that they have,” he said. “And then to allow our petitioner to provide a reply document. There may be other parties who want to submit legal arguments to us.” In 2013 and 2021, Linn County residents passed referendums authorizing gaming in the county. The 2021 vote permanently authorizes gaming in the county. Des Moines attorney Mark Weinhardt, on behalf of Riverside Casino and its nonprofit affiliate, contends the 2021 ballot measure contained language that failed to comply with Iowa Code. Weinhardt, in his petition to the state gaming commission, argues the 2021 public measure approved by Linn County voters didn’t authorize the commencement of gambling, but instead simply extended gaming provisions from a 2013 referendum. The ballot measure stated: “If approved by a majority of voters, operation of gambling games with no wager or loss limits may continue.” The state, though, has never licensed gambling games in Linn County. “Accordingly, there were no games that the voters could authorize to ‘continue,' ” the petition states. “A proposition requiring approval or defeat of the continuation of gambling games is not a proposition that authorizes the origination of gambling games in the county,” according to the petition. It also argues the public referendum did not seek approval of all gambling games, but rather a subset of them — games “with no wager or loss limits.” Weinhardt, in his filing, argues that does not comply with statutory language that requires voters to approve “gambling games” without any voter-imposed limits. “And because there has not been compliance with Iowa Code 99F.7, the IRGC is prohibited from issuing any license for gambling games in Linn County,” according to the petition. Asked why Riverside Casino and its nonprofit affiliate are challenging the validity of the 2021 referendum now, as opposed to when it was approved three years go, he said, “The licensing decision is the appropriate time to talk about whether the license is appropriate and valid.” Anne Parmley is president of the Linn County Gaming Association, the charitable arm of the Cedar Rapids Development Group, the proposed developers of the Cedar Crossing Casino. Parmley and other backers of the proposed Cedar Rapids casino say the petition is a delay tactic to prevent Linn County from benefiting from a gaming operation, which would support the city and county through taxes and betterment funds, and provide $6.3 million annually to nonprofits. Parmley, speaking to The Gazette, said she was pleased with the commission’s decision. “We understand their need and desire to reflect on the information in front of them,” Parmley said. “ ... I am confident, personally, that Linn County voters knew exactly what they were voting for and voted to support a second time around gaming in Linn County — and have come out in droves yesterday to explain why it is so important to Linn County to have this opportunity.” Delaying the commission’s vote, she said, would have given those opposed to the casino more time to push through legislation to reimpose a ban on new casino licenses in the state. Some lawmakers have said they intend to file a casino moratorium bill that would block new gaming licenses when the Iowa Legislature convenes Jan. 13. Iowa lawmakers in 2022 passed a two-year moratorium blocking new gaming licenses but failed to extend the pause this year before the legislative session adjourned in April. The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission is scheduled to vote on whether to approve the Cedar Crossing Casino in early February, giving lawmakers little time — roughly 18 days — to pass and have Gov. Kim Reynolds sign the moratorium before the racing and gaming commissioner plan to vote on a Cedar Rapids casino license. This rendering shows the Cedar Crossing Casino & Entertainment Center proposed for the former Cooper’s Mill site in northwest Cedar Rapids. The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission is considering whether to issue a gaming license so the casino can be built. (Peninsula Pacific Entertainment, Linn County Gaming Association) Gaming commissioners heard from more than 100 speakers on Wednesday voice their support and opposition to a Linn County casino license during a public hearing in Cedar Rapids. Most spoke in favor of the casino. Opponents warned a new facility would cannibalize revenues from other Iowa casinos and dilute, not increase, the state’s gambling market. Casino operators and business, government and nonprofit leaders from Davenport, Dubuque, Waterloo, Cedar Falls, Riverside and the Meskwaki Nation said Iowa’s gaming market is saturated. Wes Ehrecke, president of the Iowa Gaming Association — which represents Iowa’s 19 licensed casinos — said all the Iowa casinos support a moratorium on new casino licenses in the state. Supporters, including local nonprofits, businesses and union members, argued that the proposed casino would boost the local economy, create jobs, support community projects and enhance the quality of life by attracting more tourists and providing more entertainment options. Iowans for Common Sense, which promotes itself as a grassroots coalition, has launched a campaign asking Iowans to oppose the casino, inviting residents to sign a petition supporting a statewide moratorium on new casinos. Cedar Rapids Mayor Tiffany O’Donnell questioned the grassroots nature of the effort and suspects Iowa casino operators are behind it. “This is a well-funded campaign that is, really, not surprisingly backed very well by rich casino operators playing out their case against what they call cannibalization,” O’Donnell told state gaming commissioners Wednesday during a site visit to the proposed Cedar Rapids casino location. “The rest of us call it competition.” O’Donnell on Wednesday asked the commissioners for a “fair shot” at opening a casino, arguing Linn County residents “want this,” as evidenced by their passage of gambling referendums in 2013 and 2021. In between Dave & Buster's screen-lit aisles and makeshift arenas, it's not unusual to see groups of friends competing with each other. At each of the arcade chain's more than 222 franchises throughout the country, there's just about every kind of friendly physical and virtual game—Hot Shots basketball, Skee-Ball, air hockey, billiards, virtual car racing, and shooting—to master. And that is just the beginning. ATS.io mapped how gambling is entering arcades across the United States and the implications for these two industries. In a partnership with technology company Lucra, Dave & Buster's announced in April 2024 that it plans to allow customers to bet on its arcade games through a social wagering channel on its app. The gamification software will accommodate peer-to-peer digital cash bets on "skill-based" games, otherwise defined as "recreational activities for which the outcome is largely or entirely dependent on the knowledge, ability, strength, speed, endurance, intelligence of the participants and is subject to the control of those participants," Lucra chief operating officer Michael Madding told the New York Times . In the process, loyalty members will be able to digitally wager on each other's recreational abilities, earn various rewards, and unlock exclusive perks, effectively merging sports betting and arcade fandom together. "This new partnership gives our loyalty members real-time, unrivaled gaming experiences, and reinforces our commitment to continuing to elevate our customer experience through innovative, cutting-edge technology," Simon Murray, senior vice president of entertainment and attractions at Dave & Buster's, said in the company's initial press release. The decision to enter the betting fray is the latest example of an arcade or casino investing in gamification to capitalize on the exponential growth of gambling. As of May 2024, close to 40 states have legalized sports betting, which achieved record revenues ($10.9 billion) in 2023, according to the American Gaming Association, thanks to maturation across existing and newer markets, such as Massachusetts and Ohio. In the same year, more traditional and regulated casino slots and table games at brick-and-mortar establishments grossed a record $49.4 billion in revenue. That doesn't even mention the soaring estimations for the fantasy sports market, which projects to reach $56.36 billion in 2030 , according to a report by Grand View Research. "A lot of these new skill games are riding the wave of the sports betting and fantasy sports boom," Daniel Wallach, a gaming law and sports betting attorney, told ATS.io. "If fantasy sports is a legal game of skill, and it falls outside the gambling prohibitions under state law, then that could potentially apply to myriad other skill games. That's what Dave & Buster's is banking on." Still, there are potential consequences and uphill battles. Over the last couple of years, numerous "adult arcades" attempting to circumvent state laws with gambling games have been raided by authorities—namely in Florida, where slot machines are illegal unless they're at casinos or pari-mutuels. Depending on the state and how Dave & Buster's plans to operate its social wagering, the chain may also face legal hurdles. But according to Wallach, as long as an arcade isn't acting as "the house" and setting odds, "in most jurisdictions, the peer-to-peer product is, legally, the path of least resistance." In a post-pandemic world, finding new ways to attract and retain customers has become paramount for big entertainment venues. Until about a decade ago, publications were still delivering eulogies for the arcade, which struggled to compete with home video game consoles. In a 2013 story for The Verge , author Laura June argued: "The economics aren't there anymore, the community support never was, and, of course, gaming companies make a killing in the home—almost none are even producing cabinets anymore." To reinvent themselves, many arcades have introduced more hospitality elements and virtual/augmented reality opportunities, hoping newer social technology might lure customers back. Along with casinos installing slots that incorporate video game elements like storytelling and competition, they've also taken hints from sports betting companies like DraftKings and FanDuel, gamifying their mobile experiences by presenting various "challenges" or "missions" or "bonuses" that can incentivize players to stay active on an app and increase their chances to win prizes. Some arcades, like Galloping Ghost Arcade, based in Brookfield, Illinois, have pivoted the other direction, leaning into nostalgia to fuel their niche customer base. According to owner Doc Mack, the venue—which hosts about 80,000 customers a year—doesn't supply any food or beverage service, has close to 900 different games, and charges a $25 flat rate so customers don't pinch their quarters. "We have tried to really go with an old-school approach to it. Our games kind of speak for themselves," Mack told ATS.io. "You don't have to pitch anything else to make these games iconic or make people want to play them." Unlike Dave & Buster's, he says, which phases old games out, Galloping Ghost prides itself on classic arcade options that don't cater to online opportunities. Considering the scope and intention of his business, gamification only makes sense for a certain size operation looking to draw in more casual customers. "I think it's great to try to innovate and bring new things to it," Mack said. "If you operate that big at this point, maybe you just try to do anything you can to figure out a new revenue opportunity." Considering Dave & Buster's is one of many arcade entertainment franchises that cater to families, underage gambling has become a concern. Legislators such as Illinois state Rep. Daniel Didech have spoken out about the lack of safeguards preventing kids and teenagers from betting themselves. Lucra says its betting services are only intended for adults 18 and up, and that the average contest size is around $5 or $10. But without being regulated—a reason the American Gaming Association declined to comment for this story—the chain opens itself up to more scrutiny. "State regulation can provide an important consumer protection element that would otherwise be missing from unregulated albeit legal activity," Wallach said. "Maybe the answer is to regulate rather than prohibit." Whether or not it finds initial success, Wallach believes this venture into arcade peer-to-peer betting is likely to gain imitators. Consider venues such as Topgolf and PingPod (a fully automated table tennis space), which have already gamified some of their experiences and contain inherent head-to-head competitions. Meanwhile, on Lucra's list of clients is a pickleball ratings system and a tennis app that allows players to compete against each other for real money. According to Lucra, its app has created 1 million unique contests and collected more than $20 million of handle. It seems like just the beginning. "There's much more skill gaming out there at commercial venues than you may even realize," Wallach said. "There's no reason why this concept can't be imported to those types of recreational activities." Story editing by Carren Jao. Copy editing by Tim Bruns.

"Sonic the Hedgehog 3" is expected to pick up where the second film left off, with Sonic and his friends facing new challenges and obstacles in their quest to save the world from the evil plans of Dr. Robotnik. Packed with thrilling action sequences, heartwarming moments, and plenty of humor, the film is sure to delight both fans of the video game series and newcomers alike.Y’all are in for a real treat today! So, from now until 11:00 AM EST, the Epic Games Store is offering one of the hottest indie games in recent years! Indeed, this is a special Christmas Eve as folks can download Dredge for free! Dredge , for the uninitiated, is a single-player fishing game with no dark, horrifying undertones at all! Nope! If you don’t believe me about Dredge ‘s popularity, let’s run the stats. Firstly, it was nominated for a multitude of “Best Indie Game” awards in 2023 — even managing to win one! Further, on Steam, it has an overwhelming reception of... well, “Overwhelmingly Positive”! But, I get it. You’re more astute than the average gamer. You aren’t easily swayed by reviews and popularity contests. You want visual evidence so you know if you’ll be spending your Christmas Eve with a quality title. Well, if none of that has convinced you to rush to the Epic Games Store? Maybe this will! Videos by VICE It’s difficult for me to offer a synopsis of Dredge without massively ruining its secrets (as I am wont to do when I get excited about a game). So, it’s time to involve the community! Let’s see if Steam can convince you to go to the Epic Games Store (ironically) and give Dredge a shot! “I’m really enjoying DREDGE. I love horror stories, but I have a hard time with traditional horror video games. The immersion can be too much and I become anxious to the point where it’s not enjoyable. DREDGE does a good job of balancing it’s spooky atmosphere and interesting story with a good mix of urgency and relaxation,” one Steam reviewer confirms! here’s why you should stop reading this and download the free epic games store offering right now “I like that I’m free to enjoy the game at a slow, safe pace. Getting caught out at sea at night isn’t an instant death sentence but there’s still enough spookiness and some OH GOD WHAT IS THAT? moments that deliver adrenaline in a slow drip that a cowardly gamer like myself can really appreciate. I’m looking forward to seeing how the story unfolds.” It’d be silly of me to tell you to go in blind so late in the article. However, don’t look at anything related to this indie all-star after you leave here. Just go to the Epic Games Store and trust me, okay? Prepare for vibes that, somehow, perfectly alternate between “genuinely terrifying” and “chill as hell.” ...If you’re like my partner and hate anything spooky from the sea (hi, Subnautica ), maybe bring a change of pants while you’re at it. (And Merry Christmas Eve/Happy Holidays!)

Check out a full Iowa scouting report that examines the Hawkeyes' offensive and defensive statistics and more ahead of their game against Nebraska. * * * Record: 7-4 Offensive yards per play: 5.7 (73rd nationally) Defensive yards per play: 5.0 (34th) Turnover margin: +11 (T-8th) Penalty yards per game: 29.7 (3rd) New Big Ten, same Iowa. The Hawkeyes have continued to play solid football in Kirk Ferentz's 26th season at the helm, hanging their hat on playing defense and running the football. They lost to the two currently ranked teams they've played and had a couple unexpected road shortcomings, but remain 5-1 at home with a number of decisive victories in conference play. Type: Run-heavy Coordinator: Tim Lester Letting go of Brian Ferentz and bringing in Lester in the offseason has paid dividends for the Hawkeyes already. The Iowa offense has returned to being a respectable unit, its 29.4 points per game ranking 55th nationally. Even with inconsistent health and quality at quarterback, an outstanding ground game has helped lead the team to some blowout wins. Type: 4-2-5 Coordinator: Phil Parker After fielding top-five units the past two years, Parker's defense has seen a slight drop. The Hawkeyes allow 17.7 points per game, fifth in the Big Ten and 12th nationally. Of course, that's still a pretty good number from the accomplished Iowa coordinator, but Michigan State and UCLA were able to break through enough for wins despite not having inspiring offensive attacks. Kaleb Johnson, running back: The nation's second-leading rusher behind Boise State's Ashton Jeanty, no Big Ten back has been in the same realm of total production as Johnson has in 2024. He's already broken Iowa's single-season rushing touchdown record and is third on the program's list for yards on the ground in a season. Jay Higgins, linebacker: Leads Iowa in total tackles (106), interceptions (4) and forced fumbles (2), while ranking third on the team in pass breakups (5). The fifth-year linebacker has done a bit of everything for the Hawkeyes. "Their players are waving at our guys — ‘Hey, have a good Christmas!’ — that was painful. That was really painful. So I don’t doubt that our guys will be ready. But their guys will be ready. It really just comes down to football." — Nebraska coach Matt Rhule on the team's loss to Iowa in 2023 "This back is fantastic, he makes people miss, and he can burst and go the distance... [Iowa's] doing a really good job, and they’ve run some people off the field just by running the football down their throat." — Nebraska coach Matt Rhule on Iowa's run game "First start as our quarterback... He played with a lot of poise, good awareness out there, made the plays we were hoping we'd make and made good decisions most importantly and protected the football." — Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz on quarterback Jackson Stratton's performance against Maryland 227: Pass attempts by Iowa this year, the least in the Big Ten. Michigan is next with 50 more. 14: Iowa's increase in points per game from last season to this one — from 15.4 to 29.4. 24: Punts downed inside the opponent's 20-yard line by Iowa, the most in the Big Ten. Aug. 31 Illinois State, W 40-0 Sept. 7 Iowa State, L 20-19 Sept. 14 Troy, W 38-21 Sept. 21 at Minnesota, W 31-14 Oct. 5 at Ohio State, L 35-7 Oct. 12 Washington, W 40-16 Oct. 19 at Michigan State, L 32-20 Oct. 26 Northwestern, W 40-14 Nov. 2 Wisconsin, W 42-10 Nov. 8 at UCLA, L 20-17 Nov. 23 at Maryland, W 29-13 Nov. 29 NebraskaFORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump promised on Tuesday to “vigorously pursue” capital punishment after President Joe of most people on federal death row partly to stop Trump from pushing forward their executions. Trump criticized Biden’s decision on Monday to change the sentences of 37 of the 40 condemned people to life in prison without parole, arguing that it was senseless and insulted the families of their victims. Biden said converting their punishments to life imprisonment was consistent with the moratorium imposed on federal executions in cases other than terrorism and hate-motivated mass murder. “Joe Biden just commuted the Death Sentence on 37 of the worst killers in our Country,” he wrote on his social media site. “When you hear the acts of each, you won’t believe that he did this. Makes no sense. Relatives and friends are further devastated. They can’t believe this is happening!” Presidents historically have no involvement in dictating or recommending the punishments that federal prosecutors seek for defendants in criminal cases, though Trump has long sought more direct control over the Justice Department’s operations. The president-elect wrote that he would direct the department to pursue the death penalty “as soon as I am inaugurated,” but was vague on what specific actions he may take and said they would be in cases of “violent rapists, murderers, and monsters.” He highlighted the cases of two men who were on federal death row for slaying a woman and a girl, had admitted to killing more and had their sentences commuted by Biden. On the campaign trail, Trump often called for expanding the federal death penalty — including for those who kill police officers, those convicted of drug and human trafficking, and migrants who kill U.S. citizens. “Trump has been fairly consistent in wanting to sort of say that he thinks the death penalty is an important tool and he wants to use it,” said Douglas Berman, an expert on sentencing at Ohio State University’s law school. “But whether practically any of that can happen, either under existing law or other laws, is a heavy lift.” Berman said Trump’s statement at this point seems to be just a response to Biden’s commutation. “I’m inclined to think it’s still in sort of more the rhetoric phase. Just, ‘don’t worry. The new sheriff is coming. I like the death penalty,’” he said. Most Americans have historically supported the death penalty for people convicted of murder, according to decades of annual polling by Gallup, but support has declined over the past few decades. About half of Americans were in favor in an October poll, while roughly 7 in 10 Americans backed capital punishment for murderers in 2007. Before Biden’s commutation, there were 40 federal death row inmates compared with more than 2,000 who have been sentenced to death by states. “The reality is all of these crimes are typically handled by the states,” Berman said. A question is whether the Trump administration would try to take over some state murder cases, such as those related to drug trafficking or smuggling. He could also attempt to take cases from states that have abolished the death penalty. Berman said Trump’s statement, along with some recent actions by states, may present an effort to get the Supreme Court to reconsider a precedent that considers the death penalty disproportionate punishment for rape. “That would literally take decades to unfold. It’s not something that is going to happen overnight,” Berman said. Before one of Trump’s rallies on Aug. 20, his prepared remarks released to the media said he would announce he would ask for the death penalty for child rapists and child traffickers. But Trump never delivered the line. One of the men Trump highlighted on Tuesday was ex-Marine Jorge Avila Torrez, who was sentenced to death for killing a sailor in Virginia and later pleaded guilty to the fatal stabbing of an 8-year-old and a 9-year-old girl in a suburban Chicago park several years before. The other man, Thomas Steven Sanders, was sentenced to death for the kidnapping and slaying of a 12-year-old girl in Louisiana, days after shooting the girl’s mother in a wildlife park in Arizona. Court records show he admitted to both killings. Some families of victims expressed anger with Biden’s decision, but the president had faced pressure from advocacy groups urging him to make it more difficult for Trump to increase the use of capital punishment for federal inmates. The ACLU and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops were some of the groups that applauded the decision. Biden left three federal inmates to face execution. They are Dylann Roof, who carried out the in Charleston, South Carolina; 2013 Boston Marathon bomber ; and Robert Bowers, who fatally shot 11 congregants at Pittsburgh’s , the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S history.
