Alaska Airlines grounds all flights after a tech outage
'We are currently experiencing an IT outage that's impacting our operations. We requested a temporary, system-wide ground stop until the issue is resolved,' the Seattle-based company said in a social media post. It advised customers to check the status of their flights before heading to an airport.
The Federal Aviation Administration website indicated a ground stop for Alaska Airlines at all airports beginning shortly before 3 a.m. Monday due to an airline request. A second post on the FAA site indicated a ground stop for all Alaska mainline and Horizon aircraft, referring to an Alaska Airlines subsidiary.
The National Transportation Board last month credited the crew of Alaska Airlines flight 1282 with the survival of passengers when a door plug panel flew off the plane shortly after takeoff on Jan. 5, 2024, leaving a hole that sucked objects out of the cabin.
In September, Alaska Airlines said it grounded its flights in Seattle briefly due to 'significant disruptions' from an unspecified technology problem that was resolved within hours.

Trump's Copper Tariffs Apply to $15 Billion of Goods So Far
(Bloomberg) -- US President Donald Trump's first wave of copper tariffs will hit imports valued at more than $15 billion last year, highlighting the potential inflationary impact on American buyers. Mayor Asked to Explain $1.4 Billion of Wasted Johannesburg Funds All Hail the Humble Speed Hump PATH Train Service Resumes After Fire at Jersey City Station Details of the 50% import duties sparked turmoil in the global copper market last week — including a record slump for US futures — because Trump handed a surprise exemption to key forms of the wiring metal. But that still leaves significant trade volumes subject to tariffs. On Monday, the US Federal Register published a list of exactly what will fall under the 50% levy. It includes semi-processed products — like wires, tubes and rods — worth $7.7 billion last year, plus cabling typically used for phone or internet connections with almost the same value, according to Bloomberg News calculations. And it doesn't stop there. The White House ordered officials to come up with a plan in 90 days to slap tariffs on an array of other copper-intensive manufactured goods. Trump dramatically expanded the scope of US aluminum and steel tariffs earlier this year by adding derivative products. The US copper market is scrambling to understand the implications of Trump's tariffs, which the president said will help boost domestic output of semi-processed and copper-containing products. He stopped short of tariffs on refined metal — an omission that shocked investors but reflects deep US reliance on imports and a pushback by key American buyers, who feared the duties would drive up costs significantly. Still, the US took in at least 600,000 tons of semi-finished copper last year, according to the US International Trade Commission. About 35% came from Canada, followed by Germany, South Korea and Mexico each at less than 10%. Refined copper, spared from the levies, amounted to about 900,000 tons and was worth about $8.4 billion. Tariffs will be levied according to the value of the copper content. That means the 'semis' that are almost pure copper will attract a much higher effective duty rate than, say, internet cables where the copper wiring is only a part of the product.

Lysoway Therapeutics Awarded Grant from The Michael J. Fox Foundation to Advance TRPML1 Agonist to Treat Parkinson's Disease
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., August 06, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lysoway Therapeutics, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company developing small molecule modulators of lysosomal ion channels, today announced that it has received a research grant from The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research (MJFF). Support comes from MJFF's Parkinson's Disease Therapeutics Pipeline Program, which focuses on candidates with strong potential to slow or halt disease progression or alleviate burdensome symptoms for those living with Parkinson's disease. Lysoway Therapeutics funding of $2.93 million will support the preclinical and translational development of Lysoway's novel, highly brain-penetrant small molecule TRPML1 agonist. The study aims to investigate whether activating TRPML1 by a novel, small molecule modulator, will enhance the lysosomal membrane calcium ion channel to restore lysosomal function and help with clearance of alpha-synuclein, the protein that is linked to the disease. "We are honored to receive this generous grant from The Michael J. Fox Foundation," said Valerie Cullen, PhD, Principal Investigator and SVP of Research and Translation at Lysoway. "TRPML1 is a high value target due to its pivotal role in sensing and responding to cellular stress. By activating this ion channel, we can engage multiple beneficial pathways that restore autophagy/lysosomal homeostasis and bolster cellular resilience. Our lead development candidate is both orally bioavailable and highly brain-penetrant, offering strong potential to modify disease progression in Parkinson's Disease." Yongchang Qiu, PhD, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Lysoway Therapeutics, added "This funding underscores growing confidence in TRPML1 as a compelling target for Parkinson's disease. It will allow us to accelerate development of our lead TRPML1 agonist and to establish key biomarkers for target engagement, with the goal of initiating first-in-human clinical trials early next year." About Lysoway Therapeutics, in Cambridge, MA, Lysoway Therapeutics is a leader in developing therapeutically viable lysosomal ion channel modulators. The company is advancing a pipeline of small molecule activators targeting these channels to treat neurodegenerative diseases. Learn more at View source version on Contacts Media contact: Info@
