If you ever receive a piece of spam that says it comes from Bruceh.com, I want to assure you that we do NOT ever send out any spam to anyone. Some of the e-mail addresses, such as for the webmaster used to be on this site and over the years, spammers have harvested those addresses and now they are used as the phony "From" addresses in their spam. Occasionally, you may receive an e-mail that your anti-virus warns you about that also looks like it comes from Bruceh.com. The newer mailer viruses get their bogus "From" addresses directly from the address books and browser caches of infected computers. This means that if someone infected with a virus happened to have been visiting Bruceh.com, then our address might end up in the from field. I have tried to make sure that all e-mail addresses have been removed from this site, even in the old pages so I hope one day this will stop. The spammers had years of access to the addresses on this site, so I won't hold my breath, however.

The historical data pages (year picks, pick stats, and pair pick stats) have been updated to use a responsive design. The old SuperLotto pages (1991-2000) will not be updated and will remain static HTML.

The latest picked lotto number ticker that appears on this page and the lotto page has been updated to use Javascript instead of Java.

The main four pages have now been redesigned in a responsive format and uploaded. There might be a few glitches, but I'll be working to stabilize things. Please try them out on your mobile device and let me know if you see any weirdness.

The first couple pages have been redesigned to use a responive layout and are being tested in a local environment. I should be able to take some pages live soon.

There won't be any need for a separate mobile site anymore as we are going responsive. What does responsive mean you might ask. It means the site will automatically adjust for the device you are viewing it on. Fonts should remain readable and you shouldn't ever have a left/right scroll bar unless you get the window down below 320 pixels horizontally. Even the smallest smartphone screens are usually at least 320 pixels wide. I've been wanting to make this change for a long time and finally have some time to do it. Not to mention that Google won't even index the site anymore if it's not mobile friendly. I'll be updating the site incrementally starting with the 4 main pages from the menu.

While I still love Java as a programming language, it seems to be more troublesome than it is worth to keep the Java applets on here. It's almost as if the browser folks have declared war on Java. Firefox disables the java plugin if it's too far out of date. A lot of times you have to go through a lot of confirmations just to run a java applet, and even after doing all that, the browser still might not let you run it. My graph of picked lottery numbers is a good example.

So, it's time to make a change and convert the couple Java applets I had on here to javascript. I'll start with the ticker that shows the current winning numbers for SuperLottoPlus and Mega Millions. Then I'll work on the graph applet.

As world leaders prepare to gather in New York for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) this week, a growing number of flashpoints across the Middle East are raising concerns about a wider regional escalation, from renewed fighting between Saudi Arabia and the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen to fresh warnings exchanged between Washington and Tehran.

Why are the Houthis and Saudi Arabia back at the center of regional tensions?

A dramatic Houthi offensive in Yemen has emerged as one of the most significant developments heading into UNGA.

The Iran-backed group has seized key territory in recent weeks, including a strategically important island in the Red Sea and coastal areas overlooking the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a crucial maritime chokepoint linking the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. US and Gulf officials have expressed growing concern that the Houthis are seeking to establish greater control over the waterway, which is vital to global trade and energy shipments.

Despite receiving increased US intelligence and targeting support, Saudi Arabia has struggled to halt the Houthi advance. CNN reported Friday that Gulf and American officials are increasingly doubtful Riyadh can reverse the Houthi gains on its own.

The fighting has intensified sharply in recent days. Saudi Arabia accused the Houthis of targeting Mecca, Islam’s holiest city, while the Houthis claimed they shot down a Saudi F‑15 fighter jet over Yemen. On Saturday, the group also claimed missile and drone attacks on “sensitive” sites in Riyadh and an Aramco oil facility in Yanbu.

The latest exchanges underscore fears that Yemen is becoming an increasingly important front in the broader regional confrontation involving Iran.

Why are US embassies warning Americans?

Amid the worsening security environment, the US State Department and several US diplomatic missions have urged Americans in the region to exercise increased caution.

On Saturday, the State Department warned that the conflict “has the potential to escalate rapidly” and advised heightened vigilance.

Separately, the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia issued a security alert restricting travel by US government personnel to the cities of Taif and Yanbu without special authorization.

The warnings come as officials monitor the possibility of additional attacks involving Iran, Iranian-aligned groups and US partners in the region.

What are Iran and Trump saying?

Iran’s central military command said Sunday it had received information suggesting the United States, with support from regional partners, could be preparing new military action against Iran.

In a statement carried by the semi-official Tasnim News Agency, Iran warned that any new US attack would trigger sustained strikes on US bases and interests across the region. Tehran also warned that countries assisting such operations would be considered parties to the conflict.

There have been no publicly reported US strikes on Iran for more than two weeks.

US President Donald Trump, meanwhile, further raised tensions with remarks indicating major decisions on Iran may be approaching.

Speaking to Fox News, Trump said he was in “deciding mode” and that “very big things” could happen soon. According to Fox correspondent Trey Yingst, Trump outlined three possible outcomes for Iran: a deal with Washington, increased economic pressure or military action.

At the same time, Trump said his administration remains in contact with the Houthis and is still avoiding direct US military involvement in the group’s conflict with Saudi Arabia.

Which Middle East leaders will be at UNGA?

Regional diplomacy is expected to be dominated by discussions on Iran, Yemen, maritime security and energy markets.

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan is leading a delegation, while Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain are all sending senior representatives.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is also expected to attend the General Assembly after the Trump administration approved travel for a core Iranian delegation.

“Consistent with our host country obligations, the core delegation from the Iranian regime will be able to attend UN General Assembly High Level Week,” a State Department spokesperson said Thursday.

With fighting intensifying in Yemen, threats escalating between Washington and Tehran, and energy markets remaining sensitive to disruptions, many diplomats arriving in New York see this year’s General Assembly as taking place under one of the most volatile Middle East security environments in recent years.

An ICE officer shot and seriously wounded a Venezuelan man Sunday afternoon as he was delivering food in Austin, Texas, his lawyer said.

The man was taken to a local hospital and was “in serious but stable condition” after being shot in the torso, Austin-Travis County EMS Chief Robert Luckritz said at a news conference earlier.

The White House referred NBC News to the Department of Homeland Security for comment. A spokesperson for the DHS, the federal agency to which Immigration and Customs Enforcement belongs, said in a statement late Sunday that the man was stable and was in federal custody pending removal from the U.S.

Immigration attorney Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch identified him as Wilber Rafael Garcés Perez, 28.

He entered the country illegally under the Biden administration and had a final order of removal, the DHS spokesperson said, adding that Homeland Security Investigations, with help from the FBI, will lead an investigation into the shooting.

The shooting occurred around 1 p.m. in North Austin.

Texas Department of Public Safety spokesperson Sheridan Nolen said the agency received a request for assistance from ICE for a vehicle pursuit involving a blue Toyota Corolla.

A social media video verified by NBC News captures the sound of tires screeching followed by a person exiting a dark-colored SUV as a blue sedan is stopped next to it, both vehicles facing one another.

At least three gunshots are heard as the person approaches the sedan and runs up to it as it slowly lurches forward. The video shows the person standing next to the sedan’s driver’s side as it stops in front of an intersection. The sedan also appears to be damaged on the passenger side.

The shooting occurred before DPS troopers arrived at the scene, Nolen said.

“Once they arrived, DPS Troopers immediately began assisting partner law enforcement agencies in performing medical treatment on the driver of the Toyota Corolla,” she said in a statement.

Lincoln-Goldfinch, who is representing the man, said lawyers for the hospital where he was treated indicated he had been released, though she wasn’t sure at the time to whom.

The hospital, Dell Seton Medical Center at The University of Texas, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Lincoln-Goldfinch said she was with his wife at the hospital earlier, hoping to get information on his condition, but they were escorted from the premises.

“We are deeply concerned that his wife and family have not been permitted to see him and have not received a meaningful update regarding his current condition or whereabouts,” Lincoln-Goldfinch said in a statement.

The man, who lives in Austin, is a DoorDash driver who was in the middle of a delivery when he was shot, Lincoln-Goldfinch said. In an email, a company spokesperson confirmed Garcés Perez was making a delivery at the time, adding that DoorDash is investigating and would not release more information “at this time.”

Lincoln-Goldfinch told Telemundo Austin that her priority, and that of the man’s family, is to find him and verify his condition.

“The main focus now is figuring out how and where he is, that he’s OK, and then we’ll be looking for justice,” she said.

DHS has not provided any information about whether the ICE agent involved was wearing a body camera or if the man was the target of an operation or has any criminal background other than an immigration violation.

Austin Mayor Kirk Watson said the Austin Police Department was not involved in the incident.

Police Chief Lisa Davis said a “small foot pursuit” had occurred and that Austin police investigators were on the scene. Davis added that she was in contact with Homeland Security Investigations and other state law enforcement agencies.

“A person being shot on the streets of Austin by someone purporting to be law enforcement, particularly when it’s ICE, is something that causes me to be unhappy and angry,” Watson said at the news conference. “While I’m unhappy and I’m angry about it, I’m not surprised at all.”

U.S. Rep. Greg Casar, D-Texas, demanded an independent investigation, the release of body camera footage and “accountability for any ICE officer who broke the law.”

“Over and over, ICE has shot people and then lied about what happened. We can see the lies with our own eyes. We will demand truth, transparency and accountability,” he said in a post on X.

In a letter addressed to DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin and Acting ICE Director David Venturella, Casar insisted on receiving a Congressional briefing by Sept. 28.

James Talarico, who is running as the Democratic candidate for one of Texas’ U.S. Senate seats, said he is “closely following” reports of the shooting, and requested an investigation and all available footage.

U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, demanded “full accountability.”

“Trump has allowed ICE to flood our streets and put our communities in harms way again and again,” he said in a post on X.

In reaction to the shooting, the League of United Latin American Citizens — the largest Latino civil rights organization in the U.S. — called on Congress to establish an independent oversight of immigration enforcement.

Watson said he has asked for the city of Austin to be involved in any forthcoming investigations so that the police department can “be in a position to offer clear third-party eyes and expertise”

In a statement, the Travis County District Attorney’s Office requested to be “co-equal partners in the investigation” and to receive cooperation from the federal government.

Protesters who gathered at the site of the shooting on Sunday afternoon and evening, next to an elevated stretch of Highway 183, shouted anti-ICE slogans in English and Spanish. Some carried signs that said, “Stop ICE murder,” “Moms against ICE” and “Abolish ICE.”

One woman, who said she has lived in Austin for 33 years, told NBC News earlier Sunday that she has never witnessed an incident like this and it “broke my heart.”

The protest was punctuated with the sounds of drums, and someone could be heard saying, “They don’t want you to be here” via loudspeaker.

Late Sunday night, the gathering roiled with tension, and Texas Department of Public Safety troopers responded by deploying tear gas and, in some instances, tackling protesters.

Protesters had dispersed and troopers appeared to have exited the area by 11 p.m. local time.

The shooting comes two months after an ICE officer fatally shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national, in Houston during an attempted traffic stop to conduct an immigration arrest. DHS has said Salgado Araujo was in the country illegally and attempted to run over agents, but it has not provided evidence of its claims.

Patrick Clancy said he felt he had no purpose after his three children were killed.

"There was a time where I didn't think I would live to see my 35th birthday," Clancy, 36, said in an interview with 60 Minutes. "And I was completely fine with it."

His interview with correspondent Ross Douthat comes after his ex-wife's mistrial earlier this month. The court has yet to determine whether Patrick's ex-wife, Lindsay Clancy, will be retried for the killings of their children: 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan. It also comes as Patrick and his wife, Rachel Danis, face intense public scrutiny, becoming the subjects of online suspicion and speculation on social media.

What happened after Callan was born

In October 2022, five months after Callan's birth, Patrick said Lindsay told him she had gone a few nights without sleeping.

Over the next two months, Lindsay made repeated emergency room visits. She admitted herself to a program for patients with postpartum depression and was discharged after a day of treatment. Lindsay was also prescribed an escalating number of prescription drugs.

Patrick said he struggled to help his wife navigate the medical system and did not know how to manage a postpartum illness.

"I think mental illness has this ability to be tragically deceptive," he said.

December was the low point, Patrick said. "It was a big struggle for her — just a huge lack of sleep, deep, deep depression, intrusive thoughts."

Lindsay checked herself into McLean Psychiatric Hospital on New Year's Eve. She was treated for depression and released days later, making it home in time to celebrate Cora's birthday on Jan. 7.

The deaths of Cora, Dawson and Callan

Less than three weeks later, Patrick said he came home from an errand to find Lindsay lying in the backyard, her throat and wrists cut, paralyzed after jumping from an upstairs window.

He said he found his children strangled in the basement. Cora and Dawson were dead. Callan was airlifted to Boston Children's Hospital.

"I really thought there was a chance that Callan would live," Patrick recalled. "I remember just thinking, 'Just give me one. Just give me one kid, and I would raise him as best I could, and I would give him the best life I possibly could. I'd tell him about his brother and sister.' And I was holding out hope for that."

Callan's heart kept beating for four days.

"I got to hold him. I got to lay down next to him. And he died in my arms," Patrick said.

Patrick Clancy forgives his ex-wife

In the days after the tragedy, Patrick wrote tributes to each of his three children and decided to publicly forgive Lindsay.

"I saw headlines that said, you know, 'Killer Mom,' and 'Baby Murderer,' 'Monster.' And none of them were accurate," Patrick said. "I think if people said, 'She did a horrible thing,' I think everyone could agree with that. …But I believe that it was her mental illness that caused that." So I shared those words."

Lindsay never asked for forgiveness, but Patrick said he gave it to her. They've both brought medical malpractice lawsuits against health care providers who treated Lindsay. Some have denied wrongdoing, and others have yet to respond to the claim.

Patrick said he thinks he "did the best I could with what I had at the time. And I live with the outcome. I live with it every day."

Patrick said he realized he could no longer stay in Duxbury and moved to New York City that April, seeking anonymity.

Trial in court — and in the court of public opinion

In July, Lindsay Clancy's trial began. Her lawyers argued she was suffering from dangerous postpartum psychosis and couldn't be held criminally responsible for her actions.

The trial became a national obsession – generating furious arguments about the relationship between mental illness and criminal fault, how the medical system fails mothers and how men and women understand one another.

Patrick testified and found himself at the center of an online swarm of sleuths and influencers dissecting every detail of the case, developing theories that portray him as uncaring, unfaithful and even the murderer of his children.

"It's painful to see. And it makes it difficult to be in public and it's possible that some of those people, after seeing lie after lie after lie, they start to believe it and that's what we're left with," he said.

One of the catalysts for the theories about Patrick was his apparent stoicism on the witness stand. Patrick said that testifying was difficult for him and that he had a "massive, traumatic" panic attack on the second day of his testimony.

"They put me in an ambulance," Patrick said. "They offered me some medication, but I said, 'I don't want it, because I want to go back and I want to finish this so I can be done with this.' And I went back and I finished the testimony."

Lindsay's trial ended with a hung jury earlier this month.

Moving forward

Patrick says reaching out to survivors and experts in the field of postpartum health has helped him move forward. He remarried this April to Dr. Rachel Danis, a fertility doctor in New York City.

Danis said the pair met in January 2024 in a New York City run club and got to know each other over coffee.

"Pat pulled out his phone to pay, and I noticed this adorable photo of children as the wallpaper," Danis said. " I just asked, 'Who are those cuties?' And Pat said, 'Those are my kids.' And then I think I asked if they live in Massachusetts, and Pat said, 'They died.' And this is just at the cashier."

Danis said she tried to "take some of the weight from Pat."

"I can't bring his kids back," she said. "But if I can honor them and allow Pat to grieve but also just continue to honor them in the present, it, I guess that's all I can do."

The pair are starting a family, and Patrick is preparing to one day tell his future child about their older siblings, Cora, Dawson and Callan.

"I think every parent can agree, you have different relationships with your kids, but they're all your kids," he said. "And I can't wait to tell them about their brothers and sister."
