This year is shaping up to be a bad one for measles as already, the U.S. has counted more than 200 cases in 11 states — including about 70 in an outbreak in the Pacific Northwest.
BEAUREGARD, Ala. (AP) — The youngest victim was 6, the oldest 89. Relatives said one extended family lost 10 members.
The 23 people killed in the nation’s deadliest tornado in nearly six years came into focus Tuesday with the release of their names by the coroner.
They included 6-year-old Armando Hernandez Jr., known as “AJ,” torn from his father’s arms two days after singing in his first-grade class musical; 10-year-old Taylor Thornton, who loved horses and was visiting a friend’s home when the twister struck; and Jimmy Lee Jones, 89, who perished along with his wife of six decades, Mary Louise, and one of their sons.
“Just keep those families in your prayers,” Lee County Coroner Bill Harris said, two days after the disaster.
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Appearing a day after his rival returned home to a tumultuous welcome, President Nicolas Maduro denounced his opponents in a speech Tuesday at a military ceremony but did not refer by name to opposition leader Juan Guaido. The man who says he is the rightful president, meanwhile, escalated his campaign to topple Maduro with an appeal for support from state unions, long reliant on government handouts.
The dueling scenes, evidence of the rift in a country in crisis, came as Venezuelans and the world awaited the next moves of two adversaries maneuvering for an edge in what could be a protracted struggle. The Maduro government’s decision not to move against Guaido upon his return to Venezuela on Monday reflects the intense pressure Maduro faces and, possibly, a calculation that restraint is the best tactic for now.
Still, Maduro was defiant during a ceremony marking the sixth anniversary of the death of his predecessor and mentor, Hugo Chavez, belittling a “minority of opportunists and cowards.” He said government supporters would hold a rally on Saturday, a “day of anti-imperialism” in his words, and a counter to U.S.-backed Guaido’s plans to hold nationwide protests the same day.
Maduro also pinned medals on members of the security forces involved in a crackdown on Guaido’s failed Feb. 23 attempt to bring humanitarian aid into Venezuela from Brazil and Colombia. Maduro has described the attempt, backed by the U.S. and its allies, as part of a plot to overthrow his government.
Hours earlier, Guaido said police officials were among those at a meeting that he held with leaders of public employee unions, which rely heavily on subsidies from Maduro’s government to get by in a country suffering from hyperinflation and shortages of food and other necessities.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A mind-altering medication related to the club drug Special K won U.S. approval Tuesday for patients with hard-to-treat depression, the first in a series of long-overlooked substances being reconsidered for severe forms of mental illness.
The nasal spray from Johnson & Johnson is a chemical cousin of ketamine, which has been used for decades as a powerful anesthetic to prepare patients for surgery. In the 1990s, the medication was adopted as a party drug by the underground rave culture due to its ability to produce psychedelic, out-of-body experiences. More recently, some doctors have given ketamine to people with depression without formal FDA approval.
The Food and Drug Administration approved Spravato as a fast-acting treatment for patients who have failed to find relief with at least two antidepressants. Up to 7.4 million American adults suffer from so-called treatment-resistant depression, which heightens the risk of suicide, hospitalization and other serious harm, according to the FDA.
The drug will cost between $590 and $885 depending on the dosage and before various insurance discounts and rebates.
There have been no major pharmaceutical innovations for depression since the launch of Prozac and related antidepressants in the late 1980s. Those drugs target the feel-good brain chemical serotonin, and can take weeks or months to kick in.
NEW YORK (AP) — Bernie Sanders was minutes away from walking onto a Brooklyn stage last weekend to launch a second presidential campaign that he insisted would be all about the future. The problem: Some of his allies were still fighting Hillary Clinton.
Shaun King, the activist and writer who was introducing the Vermont senator, hinted at what might have been had Sanders won the 2016 Democratic nomination.
“In 2016, like so many of you, I campaigned hard for Bernie to be president. And to this day, I still believe that he would have beaten Donald Trump,” King told a cheering crowd gathered on a snowy college lawn and waving signs with the same logo that Sanders’ campaign used in 2016.
The 2020 Democratic primary may be in full swing, but the bruising 2016 contest between Sanders and Clinton never ended for some. In the opening days of Sanders’ latest campaign, Clinton’s supporters have warned that he will drag the party to the extreme left and have threatened to reveal unsavory details about him. Sanders and some of his backers have been strikingly dismissive of the first woman to be a major party’s presidential nominee. In the process, the entire Democratic field risks getting bogged down in the last campaign instead of positioning themselves to beat President Donald Trump.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — From children clamoring for tossed strands of beads, to revelers dressed up as “blind referees” poking fun at the NFL, to high school bands marching down the street, people in New Orleans celebrated Fat Tuesday with flair and fun.
Mardi Gras season began Jan. 6 and featured weeks of parades, fancy-dress balls, king cakes and generalized frivolity citywide. Fat Tuesday is the culmination of Carnival. The festivities kicked off in Tuesday’s pre-dawn hours with the Northside Skull and Bone Gang in skeleton costumes waking people to celebrate the day. The fun continued throughout the day and across the city with parades, costumes and balls.
After rainy weather affected some parades Sunday, Tuesday dawned cold but sunny. People — some of whom came out before sunrise to stake a good spot along the parade route — bundled up under multiple layers. Lorenzo Bridgewater of Slidell, Louisiana, got out at about 4:30 a.m.
“I doubled up my jeans, doubled up my socks. I’m wearing a sweater underneath this and underneath that a thermal with a shirt over it. So I’m pretty layered up,” he said.
The six students who died on June 16 when the balcony collapse in Berkeley, CA.
Landlords are refusing to rent to Irish students who have gone to Berkeley California to work for the summer on J-1 visas. Last year six Irish students died when a balcony collapsed in Berkeley during a party.
The six students were also on the J-1program. Berkeley has always been a popular accommodation spot and students usually work across the bay in San Francisco.
Many of the young Irish denied housing have expressed their anger to Irish media outlets about the banning because of the balcony incident and the general reputation for partying that Irish students have.
Reporter Richard Chambers of Irish radio station Newstalk talked to students who complained bitterly about discrimination.
Paraic from Limerick and his friends were due to rent an apartment in the Library Gardens area, where the six students died, but were denied.
He stated, “We got three places sorted. The three all fell through.
“The main reason for that is because we’re Irish.
“We had an apartment secured in Library Gardens, where the students were staying last year. Had everything sorted, deposit ready to go.
Students grieve the deaths of Irish students in Berkeley in 2015.
Another student, Emma Kelly, said she was refused by a landlady who also told her to stay away from balconies.
She told the "Pat Kenny Show" it had become very difficult to get accommodation if you were Irish, “I went up to one lady and asked her would she sub-let her house for seven students, and she asked me was I Irish.
“She said no way would she hire her house out to the Irish again over what happened last year.
Many other students have experienced similar problems after the high profile deaths of the six Irish students last summer.
The rotted balcony which was a group of Irish students tragically fall last summer.
Irish students Eoghan Culligan, Niccolai Schuster, Lorcan Miller, Eimear Walsh, Olivia Burke, all 21, and 22-year-old Irish-American Ashley Donohoe died in the awful events of June 16, 2015 when a balcony they were standing on at a party collapsed. The story was a massive one in Ireland and America.
A subsequent investigation found the students blameless and stated categorically the balcony was not overcrowded but that its wooden supports had rotted. Seven other Irish students suffered serious injury.
Ironically, Berkeley is called after Irish Bishop George Berkeley, a leading philosopher born in Kilkenny.
KEM Cetinay has been confirmed as the new reporter for next year's Dancing On Ice.
The Love Island star, 22, is set to take over online reporting duties from Jordan Banjo, who presented the backstage rink segment last year.
The reality star made it to the semi-finals earlier this year with skating partner Alex Murphy and will now be on the other side of the rink to get all the behind-the-scenes gossip.
In October, The Sun Online revealed that the ITV favourite was undergoing a massive shake-up for the upcoming series – as they scrapped the backstage rink with Jordan and replaced "at least three or four" professional skaters with new faces.
The show will also see Torvill and Dean return to the ice to perform for fans.
Insiders told The Sun Online at the time that while popular judge Ashley Banjo will return, his brother Jordan won’t present the backstage rink segment despite being a huge hit with viewers.
"Jordan was brilliant, but there have been changes to his schedule that mean he’s unavailable to film next year, so he’ll be axed from the format," said the source.
"There will be a lot of new faces on the ice, too. Ale Izquierdo, who skated with Max Evans in this year's show, won't return, neither will Melody Le Moal, who was partnered with Lemar.
"Show bosses are bringing in new professionals to shake things up."
Dancing On Ice recently announced the full line-up of celebrity skaters including Gemma Collins, Love Island's Wes Nelson, X Factor star Saara Alto, Neighbours actor Mark Little and former Strictly pro James Jordan.
Karen Barber will return as head coach, with Jason Gardiner on the judging panel, as well as Torvill and Dean.
Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield will also return to present the show.
Guinness Nigeria Plc is championing community development initiatives meant to promote economic development and better society. This, the firm is doing through developmental projects and campaigns.
Guiness Nigeria Plc is not only empowering farmers with credit facilities, access to market and training but also supporting campaigns on responsible drinking in the interest of the society.
For instance, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) data showed that Nigeria had about 11 million motor vehicles at the third quarter of 2017.
Around 3,000 car accidents occur every day around the world mainly due to alcohol abuse and human errors like use of phones when driving, disobeying traffic light and signs, impatient drivers , over speeding, bad roads, tires, driving under exhaustion among. This led to 12,077 road accidents of which 5,400 persons died in 2015.
Guinness Nigeria, as part of their corporate strategy for reducing alcohol-related road crashes, has set ambitious responsible drinking targets and is committed to measuring and reporting on every programme. The firm promotes the Diageo and United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) partnership which has been running globally but will be implemented in Nigeria.
The UNITAR Road Safety Conference, recently held in Abuja served as an outlet to discuss solutions and share best practices and learnings on road safety legislation. It was also meant to look at regulation that will help address the issues of road safety in the country.
At the event were Minister for Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, Executive Director of UNITAR, Nikhil Seth, Managing Director of Guinness Nigeria Plc, Baker Magunda, and over 100 local and international experts and stakeholders. The stakeholders introduced plans to unveil major road safety engagements to reduce traffic death and injuries and improve road safety both globally and in Nigeria during the conference.
The partnership with UNITAR and Federal Government will deliver a high-visibility drink driving enforcement campaign in Lagos. It will involve the training of Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) officers in planning, running and evaluating road-side breathalyzer checkpoints using the model created by renowned expert Othon Sanchez; who successfully ran a sustained drink drive campaign in Mexico City which delivered a 40 per cent reduction in crashes and fatalities. The objective of the three-year campaign is to increase awareness and knowledge among drivers about the risk factors associated with drink driving and also curb alcohol-related fatalities.
The programme Sanchez, a former police chief of Mexico City and a founder of “Conduce Sin Alcohol Programme” delivered a reduction in drinking and driving related crashes and fatalities. The training aims at addressing drinking and driving and the commitment to the “Drive Dry” campaign – meaning driving without alcohol consumption in the hope of reducing fatalities on the road; is the model that will be adopted by Guinness Nigeria and effected through the partnership with UNITAR and The Ministry of Transportation. It is also to note that the initiative by Sanchez was also in partnership with UNITAR and Diageo and yielded results across Africa, Asia and Latin America.
The target for Guinness Nigeria is to ensure that as a corporate organisation there is a strategic plan to achieve the United Nation’s Global Goals and support WHO’s programmes on health. With UN, road safety targets have been included in the final text of the new Sustainable Development Goals adopted by UN member states in New York. A specific stand-alone target in the Health Goal is to reduce road traffic fatalities by 50 per cent by 2020 and a target on sustainable urban transport in the cities.
Guinness Nigeria is also engaging other stakeholders to curb the scourge of road crashes, in Nigeria. It launched the Annual Ember Months Campaign in partnership with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) to sensitize drivers on the dangers of drink driving especially during the end of the year through the festivities; to the New Year, when vehicular movements on the roads are usually high. The Annual Ember Months Campaign by Guinness Nigeria has been ongoing for 14 years and has garnered much impact.
THE NEW YORKER both the Gazans and the refugees, Pal- estinians all, consider themselves a damn sight better than the Egyptians. They;" are more frequently literate, owing, in t the case of the older ones, to the school system set up under the British Palestine Mandate and, in the case of the young- er ones, to the very superior schools- by Middle Eastern standards-that have been maintained by UXRWA since. I heard several spontaneous testimonials to the former occupants, among them, "The Egyptian soldiers took off their shoes so they could run faster," "Only the Palestine Regiment [recruIted from refugees] fought-that's why it had all the casualties," and even (if the speaker was sure his interlocutur wasn't an Isra- eli) "All the fedayeen were refugees. Do you think an Egyptian would dare go across that line?" On the night of the Egyptian surrender, a mob looted the enormous, hideous new palace of the Egyptian governor, stripping even the plumbing from the bathrooms and the pipes from the walls; when I saw it, the palace was as naked as a corncob after a Rhode Island Methodist clam- I bake. Refugees also chopped down a ( . million young trees-the total product f I: of a cherished UNRWA afforestation plan-because the rumor started that the Israelis would cut off UNRWA ra- tions and that there would consequently be no more kerosene for cookIng. It was a wild evening. WHILE there was a prospect that the United Nations would take the Strip over for an appreciable perIod, a good deal of anti-Egyptian sentiment- even in the presence of known Egyp- tian informers-was audible. "Maybe we wi!] be a free state, like Switzerland or Monaco," one old dignitary sug- gested hopefully. For Gaza does have dignitaries.

It was a nice week for special teams.
The Patriots’ 27-20 win over the Texans reinforced the star status of several players while also pushing the spotlight in a few new directions.
Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski thrived, reminding the league that they remain a dynamic duo in the New England offense. Yet Gronkowski wasn’t the only player to turn a few heads in the passing game.
And when the offense was unable to ice the game late in the fourth quarter, special teams stepped up to make a big play.
Alongside the successes from Week 1 were those who struggled or – in one unfortunate case – saw the season come to an abrupt end. Here’s a look at a few players who saw their stock rise, as well as a few who saw it fall.
Ryan Allen, Jonathan Jones: With all three timeouts in hand, and the two-minute warning, Texans coach Bill O’Brien elected to kick the ball deep late in the fourth quarter as Houston trailed 27-20. The Patriots managed to convert a first down, but were stopped three-and-out over the ensuing plays.
Allen’s 54-yard punt was downed by special teams gunner Jonathan Jones inside the one-yard line. It was a perfect punt (hit with proper loft and angle to make it impossible for a return), combined with perfect coverage.
The result ensured that the Texans would have to drive the entire field to get a potential game-tying score. Given that Deshaun Watson’s end-of-game pass didn’t even reach the end zone, it again showed how every yard counts, especially on special teams.
Phillip Dorsett: The pressure was on Dorsett to deliver in Week 1 after a preseason of mounting expectations. And not only did he do so, but in a slightly unexpected way.
Known throughout his career (both in college and in the NFL) as a deep threat, Dorsett caught seven passes for 66 yards and a touchdown against the Texans. His longest catch of the day was only 14 yards. Still, that’s reason for Patriots fans to be optimistic.
Stephon Gilmore: Gilmore’s status as the Patriots’ top cornerback is well established, so he’s less of a person who moved “up” as he is someone who merely stayed at the top. His play against the Texans warranted credit beyond his (impressive) end zone interception.
As has been pointed out, the communication in the Patriots’ secondary was immediately better to start 2018 than it was a season ago. The result was a lackluster passing day from Watson, who found no wide open targets for much of the day.
While DeAndre Hopkins managed eight catches, they only amounted to 78 yards (fewer than 10 yards per catch). Gilmore wasn’t directly on Hopkins for the entire game, but he helped limit the star wide receiver when lined up across from him.
Riley McCarron: After being activated for Week 1 mostly for his ability to return punts, McCarron fumbled (and lost) a punt return in the fourth quarter. The Texans promptly made the Patriots pay for the turnover, scoring a touchdown to close within seven points. McCarron acknowledged his mistake in the postgame, but it ultimately cost him a place on the team’s roster.
LaAdrian Waddle: As starting tackle Marcus Cannon moves back into the lineup from an injury, Waddle saw 29 snaps at the position. He struggled at times blocking J.J. Watt. And while blocking one of the NFL’s premier defensive lineman is no small task, there was an appreciable gap in Waddle’s performance vs. Cannon’s.
Jeremy Hill: This obviously has nothing to do with Hill’s actual performance on the field as a running back (he contributed efficiently when given carries). And he also made a partial block of a punt. It pertains to the unfortunate injury he suffered in the third quarter, forcing his exit from the game. The result was a torn ACL, meaning that Hill will miss the rest of the season.

Lubbock police say a possibly armed man robbed an east Lubbock smoke shop Saturday night, Nov. 23.
Lubbock police officers responded to a robbery about 11:30 p.m. at the Butts and Stuff Smoke Shop at 507 E. 23rd St., according to a Lubbock Police Department news release.
Investigators believe the robber entered the store with his hands in his pockets, motioning as if he was armed with a gun, and demanded money from the clerk.
The robber fled the store westbound with an undetermined amount of money, according to the release.
UNITED NATIONS, April 11 -- That mega corporations nevertheless want to appear to be hip is, well, a symptom of cultural hegemony.
Take Reuters: their business is selling information to high frequency stock traders. In this, they underperform for example Bloomberg and its terminals.
But Reuters is hip, or wants to be. It has a social media editor, it looks at the business models of BuzzFeed, of Google allowing people to designate heirs for their data -- even of Bloomberg moving to include the tweets of some high profile economists and pundits in their terminals.
You might think that such a company, seeming to favor the free flow of information and even freedom of the press, would pause when one of its bureau chiefs was caught, via the Freedom of Information Act, lobbying to get a smaller media -- a blogger -- thrown off of a beat. But you'd be wrong.
In this case, Reuters' UN bureau chief Louis Charbonneau went so far as to threaten that if the UN did not throw Inner City Press out, for articles particularly media critique that it published, he would have no choice but to ask about transferring out of the UN to another beat at Reuters.
