LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Russian man who flew on a plane from Denmark to Los Angeles in November without a passport or ticket told U.S. authorities he didn’t remember how he got through security in Europe, according to a federal complaint filed by the FBI. Sergey Vladimirovich Ochigava arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on Nov. 4 via Scandinavian Airlines flight 931 from Copenhagen. A U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer could not find Ochigava on the flight manifest or any other incoming international flights, according to the complaint filed Nov. 6 in Los Angeles federal court. He was charged with being a stowaway on an aircraft and pleaded not guilty in a Dec. 5 arraignment. A trial was scheduled for Dec. 26. A federal public defender representing Ochigava, who remained in custody Tuesday, didn’t immediately return a phone message from The Associated Press seeking comment. The flight crew told investigators that during the flight’s departure, Ochigava was in a s...

Willy Wonka has fascinated and maybe even creeped out a generation or two after a lot of generations had a lot of sweet teeth. But the magician and chocolate maker is back in a new prequel musical.The incredibly talented Timothee Chalamet is Willy now.I met him and the rest of the cast in Beverly Hills to talk sweets and get sweet.Tmothee Chalamet is Willy Wonka.But in “Wonka,” this Willy isn’t as dark as the iconic original, from 1971’s “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.”Tmothee Chalamet: “This is the Willy before whatever happens, and that’s where my curiosity lies. Because something happens to this guy, I don’t know what it is, to make him what we see in the Gene Wilder film, sort of darker, as you put it, and disturbing and sort of without empathy sometimes.”Or even in Johnny Depp’s 2005 take.Tmothee Chalamet: “This guy is the opposite.

Ramping Rain and Winds

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:50:08 GMT

A familiar Christmas song says “the weather outside is frightful” (you know the rest). However, instead of “let it snow” south Floridians will have to settle for rain and, potentially, a lot of it. Some on-and-off showers will return to the area by Wednesday. That’s just the start of a soggy-type pattern setting up for the remainder of the week. At the core of the rainy stretch is a developing area of low pressure. This disturbance is forming in the southern Gulf of Mexico and will draw more moisture into our region as the week continues. Next, the low will head to the east and northeast, squarely aiming for the Florida Peninsula. The exact track is important in determining which parts of Florida get the most rainfall in the days ahead. However, it’s worth noting that even on its projected path (cutting across central, or north central Florida) there will be a large slug of heavy rain overall. The National Weather Service issued a statement...
