NEW YORK (AP) — Tiger Woods may not have won the Masters golf tournament, but his stirring return from injury was certainly a winner for the television networks following him.
CBS’ final round coverage of the venerable tourney on Sunday averaged 10.17 million viewers, the highest for any golf telecast since the corresponding day in 2019 — the last time Woods won the coveted green jacket, the Nielsen company said.
ESPN’s coverage of the first two rounds of the Masters averaged 3.3 million viewers, the most for its Master’s coverage since 2018, the network said.
ESPN’s viewership peaked at 4.6 million just as Woods was finishing up his second round on Saturday, Nielsen said.
CBS led the broadcast networks last week in prime time, averaging 4.2 million viewers. ABC had 3.6 million, NBC had 3 million, Fox had 1.7 million, Univision had 1.4 million, Ion Television had 1 million and Telemundo had 860,000.
Fox News Channel led among the cable networks, averaging 2.32 million viewers. TBS had 1.52 million, TNT had 1.2 million, HGTV had 1.17 million and ESPN had 1.13 million.

Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen's marriage has officially come to an end. On Oct. 28, the former couple announced that, after more than a decade together, they'd finalized their divorce.
From meeting on a blind date, to having two children, to dealing with Deflategate, to a retirement... and an unretirement, the pair has had their share of ups and downs over the years.
Keep reading for a full rundown of Brady and Bündchen's romance.
Late 2006
A year after Bündchen ended her five year-long romance with Leonardo DiCaprio, and the same year that Brady called it quits with Bridget Moynahan, his girlfriend of three years, the model and NFLer were set up on a blind date by friends.
"I think the one phone call that changed my life was my friend Ed, who called me one day and he said, 'I have this girl and I think you should call her,'" Brady told WSJ. Magazine in September 2021. "I ended up calling her and it ended up being the love of my life."
For Bündchen, going on that blind date was not the easiest decision.
"For some reason, everyone thought they needed to find me a boyfriend, so it was actually my third blind date. The other two were dinners, and I was stuck there for an hour and a half thinking, 'When can I get out? Where's my food?'" she recalled during an October 2018 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. "The third blind date was actually Tom. I was like, 'That's it. I'm not going on anymore blind dates.' And I figured, let's meet for a drink because a drink can take three minutes or two hours."
Immediately after meeting, though, Bündchen was sold on Brady.
"The moment I saw him, he smiled and I was like, 'That is the most beautiful, charismatic smile I’ve ever seen!'" she told Vanity Fair in March 2009. "We sat and talked for three hours. I had to go home for Christmas, but I didn’t want to leave. You know that feeling of, like, you can’t get enough? From the first day we met, we’ve never spent one day without speaking to each other."
Brady was likewise enamored, telling Howard Stern in April 2020, "Obviously, I thought she was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. [My plans] changed for the better because I found a wife and a woman that I saw myself with for the rest of my life."
2007
Amid the start of Bündchen and Brady's romance, Brady learned that his ex, Moynahan, was pregnant.
"It was definitely a surprise for both of us," Bündchen admitted to Vanity Fair in 2009. "In the beginning you’re living this romantic fantasy; you’re thinking, 'This can’t be true, it’s so good!' And then, Whoops -- wake-up call! We were dating two and a half months when he found out, and it was a very challenging situation. Obviously, in the beginning, it’s not the ideal thing."
Eventually, though, Bündchen came to view the situation as "a blessing."
"Otherwise I don’t think I would have known what he was made of, and he wouldn’t have known what I was made of. I wouldn’t have seen the integrity in him -- the way he was a good person through all the times," she said. "I was like, 'You have the heart in a good place!' It made me feel more in love with him; it made me realize who he was. Our relationship has become so much stronger, and I think I wouldn’t be as certain as I am today if it weren’t for that."
When John Edward Thomas Moynahan arrived later that year, Bündchen was quickly smitten with her eventual stepson.
"He’s a little angel -- the sweetest, most cuddly, loving baby. I feel blessed to have him in my life," she said. "I understand that he has a mom, and I respect that, but to me it’s not like because somebody else delivered him, that’s not my child. I feel it is, 100 percent. I want him to have a great relationship with his mom, because that’s important, but I love him the same way as if he were mine. I already feel like he’s my son, from the first day.”
2008 - 2012
The couple made their red carpet debut at the 2008 Met Gala, which came just eight months before Brady popped the question to Bündchen.
"When he proposed to me he made up this whole story how my apartment was flooding, and I ran over there to fix the situation," Bündchen told Voguein June 2018. "When I got there the whole apartment had candles and rose petals everywhere, and then he went down on his knees to propose."
"I was like, 'Get up!' because he just had surgery and had three staph infections," she added. "I'm like, 'What are you doing?' He's like, 'I gotta go on my knees.' I'm like, 'No, no, no. Get up, please!' So, here we are."
Their wedding followed just two months later, with an intimate ceremony at a Catholic church in Santa Monica with only the couple's parents and Brady's son in attendance.
"We planned it in like ten days, and it was perfect," Brady told GQ in November 2009. "We went back to the house and I barbecued aged New York strips. We had champagne, a cake, some ice cream. It was a great night."
"I think you always have this idea that weddings need to be 200 people and you invite everybody, and I'm all for it if people want to do that, but I think there was really something special about just having our parents there," he added.
Bündchen agreed, telling Vanity Fair, "I don’t like parties. I prefer something more intimate, just for the closest people."
"My idea of that is you have a partner who’s got your back. When I’m weak, you can be strong; when I’m strong, you can be weak. That’s what I believe marriage is," she told the outlet. "Loving someone, you want to grow with them, share with them, share the same values, the same feelings about things, the same beliefs... I feel grateful because I have a lot of love in my life. I found the person I’m sharing my life with. I have a good man."
In April that same year, the couple threw another wedding in Costa Rica. It included 40 people, extended family only.
"The thing about it is, the day's for you," he told GQ. "It's nothing personal against anybody, but it's not about them. It's about what you and your wife need for that day."
Even amid newlywed bliss, though, Brady's career was already impacting how much time he spent with his new wife.
"We find time to spend together, but Gisele understands the job requirements," he said. "I get some time with her on my day off, Tuesday, and then Wednesday, Thursday, Friday nights. Probably after wins I'm more with her. After losses, I don't think much of anything other than the game."
The couple's first child, Benjamin, joined the fold in December 2009, followed by their daughter, Vivian, three years later.
2015
Rumblings of marriage issues between the pair seeming first circulated in 2015 when Brady was a part of the Deflategate scandal. At the time, it was alleged that Brady ordered game balls to be deflated and was eventually suspended for four games.
Brady addressed his potential marital woes during an interview with a Boston radio station that year, Us Weekly reported.
"We're in a great place. I'll just say that. I'm a lucky man. I've been very blessed with support from my family and certainly her," he said at the time. "There's no bigger supporter than I have than her and vice versa. I've been very blessed to have an incredible relationship with my life partner. I don't think anything would ever get in the way of that."
2018 - 2021
It was three years later when retirement rumors started to circulate around the quarterback. Bündchen told WSJ. Magazine in April 2018 that she's "entitled to have my concerns because my husband is the father of my children" and "if you don’t have your health, what do you have?"
Even with her apparent worries for Brady's health, Bündchen told the outlet that retirement is totally Brady's decision.
"It wouldn’t be fair any other way. He’s so focused right now. He has a laser focus on just winning and being the best, and I said, 'You know what? This is what you’re doing right now in your life, and you need to feel complete in it, because if I’m the one who comes and says something and then you make a decision based on something that I said... he’d resent it," she said. "I would never in my life, ever [make that decision for him]. I want him to be happy."
The next month, during an appearance at the Milken Institute Global Conference, Brady admitted, according to ESPN, that his wife and kids get "the short end of the stick in my life."
"Football is year-round for me. It's a lot of thought, a lot of energy and emotion put into it, but I need to invest in them, too. My kids are 10, 8 and 5. They're not getting younger, so I need to take time so I can be available to them, too," he said. "I've really spent the last two or three months doing those things, and I think I'm really trying to fill my tank up so that when I do go back, I can go back and I think I'll actually be, in my mind, a better player, a better teammate, because I'll be really rejuvenated."
The next year, Brady told Men's Health that his wife "is not really into sports."
"She’s like a kite flying in the sky, and I’m kind of tethering her," he said. "Sometimes I have to hold on hard. But she knows I’m always there for her."
In an April 2020 interview with Howard Stern, Brady addressed how Bündchen "didn't feel like I was doing my part for the family" when she gave her interview to WSJ. Magazine.
"She felt like I would play football all season and she would take care of the house, and then all of a sudden when the season would end, I'd be like, 'Great, let me get into all of my other business activities. Let me get into my football training,'" Brady said, "and she's sitting there going, 'Well, when are you going to do things for the house? When are you going to take the kids to school and do that?'"
"And that was a big part of our marriage," he continued. "I had to, like, check myself. Because she's like, 'I have goals and dreams too. It's not just doing this and this. You better start taking care of things at the house.'"
It was the next month that Brady announced he was leaving his longtime team, the New England Patriots. Though retirement rumors continued to swirl, he revealed in March 2020 that he wouldn't be leaving the league, but would be joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
On Brady's Let's Go podcast the next year, he admitted that "it's definitely a challenge" to juggle football and family.
"My wife handles a lot of the responsibilities of the house during football season," he said. "I try to balance them out a little more in the off-season, although a lot of times I still don't think I do a great job of that. She kind of does, honestly, the things that are necessary for the kids, their school, their routines and so forth."
During another episode of his podcast later that month, Brady once again spoke about the sacrifices Bündchen has made since retiring from the runway in 2015.
"My wife has held down the house for a long time now. I think there's things that she wants to accomplish. She hasn't worked as much in the last 10, 12 years just raising our family and kind of committing to being in a life in Boston and then moving to Florida," he said. "But that's an issue, and it's a very difficult issue to reconcile without just saying, 'Hey, it's time to retire.' And I think we're coming to the end here too, so I don't want to miss any of the kids' stuff."
February - March 2022
In February 2022, Brady officially announced his retirement from the NFL. In a lengthy Instagram post explaining his decision, Brady wrote about his family.
"To my wife, Gisele, and my children Jack, Benny and Vivi, you are my inspiration. Our family is my greatest achievement," he wrote. "I always came off the field and home to the most loving and supportive wife who has done EVERYTHING for our family to allow me to focus on my career. Her selflessness allowed me to reach new heights professionally, and I am beyond words what you mean to me and our family."
In a tribute to her husband, Bündchen wrote that she was "so proud" of Brady and "in awe of your dedication, and of everything you have achieved."
"I know how excited you are about the next chapter of your life," she wrote in part. "Watching you work so hard in your football career and seeing the dedication you are now putting into all your new endeavors is incredibly inspiring. There is nothing you can’t achieve. I have always been here for you, you know that, and I’m as excited as you are for what the future holds!"
It turned out that what the future held was an unretirement.
"These past two months I've realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands," Brady tweeted less than two months after announcing he was leaving the league. "That time will come. But it's not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I'm coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa."
At the time, Bündchen supported her husband, commenting on Instagram, "Here we go again! Let's go lovvvey! Let's go Bucs!"
May 2022
Amid news of Brady's NFL return, the athlete admitted to ET that being "so driven to succeed in football" has "taken me away from other important priorities, which are my kids, my wife."
"She's really held it down for our family," he said. "I'm super grateful that she really committed so much of her time the last 14 years to make sure everything was so stable at home, so I could go live my dream. I look back at my parents, and my dad and mom did the same thing for me."
"I do feel, maybe, some guilt that I haven't been able to do that in the same way for my kids, but I'm doing the best I can do," he added. "I'm trying to be really conscious and aware of that, and then when I do have the time to spend with them, I'm really present."
Bündchen spoke about her relationship with Brady in an interview with British Vogue later that month.
"I don't think relationships just happen; it's never the fairy tale people want to believe it is," she said. "It takes work to be really in sync with someone, especially after you have kids. His focus is on his career, mine is mostly on the kids. And I'm grateful that he lets me take the reins when it comes to our family. He trusts my decisions."
September 2022
As football season quickly approached, rumors of marriage issues between the couple began to circulate. At the time, Peoplereported that Bündchen "wasn't thrilled" with her husband ending his retirement from professional football, which she was initially "so happy" about, according to the outlet.
Rumors of a rift between the couple ramped up after Brady was excused from practicing with the Bucs to "deal with some personal things."
Brady returned to practice after also missing two preseason games, and addressed his 11-day absence from the team, telling reporters, "Everyone has different situations they're dealing with, and we all have unique challenges to our lives. I'm 45 years old, man."
"There's a lot of s**t going on, so you just have to try and figure out life the best you can," he added. "You know, it's a continuous process."
Bündchen did not attend his first game of the season, but did support him on social media. Shortly thereafter, she told Elle about her "concerns" over Brady's career.
"This is a very violent sport, and I have my children and I would like him to be more present," she said. "I have definitely had those conversations with him over and over again. But ultimately, I feel that everybody has to make a decision that works for [them]. He needs to follow his joy, too."
Then, a source told ET that the couple was living separately as they figured out what was next for their relationship.
"Gisele has been telling Tom for a while he needs to spend more time with the family and after he retired, she thought she was getting what she asked for," the source said. "Once Tom decided to go back to the NFL she was devastated. Gisele is very hurt."
"Gisele is upset with Tom and wants some space right now," a second source added. "She is getting pushed to her limit. She has always supported Tom and has been there for him, but she is over it. She doesn't think Tom has been himself lately."
October 2022
In October, Page Six reported that Brady and Bündchen had each retained divorce lawyers.
"Rumblings of marital issues between Tom and Gisele began towards the end of the summer, and more recently, things have gotten worse and more serious," a source told ET shortly thereafter. "They haven't been in a good place."
"Gisele feels like Tom has chosen his career over his family and she is tired of it," the source added. "She also has her own dreams and aspirations and doesn't want to have to keep putting her goals on hold. They are weighing their options for their future as a family and thinking about what next steps might look like."
Later that month, Bündchen was photographed without her wedding ring.
"Tom isn't taking things well," a source told ET after the photo of a ringless Bündchen surfaced. "He wants to reconcile and was still holding out hope that they could work things out."
"He is extremely hurt and misses Gisele being by his side," the source added. "He feels abandoned in a way. He loves his family, but also wants to continue his career. He feels like he is in a tough spot."
The source added that "Gisele has hired a divorce attorney to discuss her future plans."
"At this point, it's more of her decision to move things forward in this direction," the source told ET. "Things are a bit difficult, both personally within their family, and because they both have huge assets."
Brady then attended a wedding solo and stepped out without his wedding ring. Just over a week later, the couple filed for divorce.
"Gisele and Tom worked on the terms of their settlement with a mediator," a source told ET after the filing. "It has all been worked out and they agreed to joint custody of their children."
Bündchen and Brady each spoke out shortly thereafter, posting similar statements to their Instagram Stories.
"We arrived at this decision amicably with gratitude for the time we spent together," Brady wrote in part. "We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way. We will continue to work together as parents to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve."
"My priority has always been and will continue to be our children whom I love with all my heart," Bündchen noted in her statement. "... The decision to end a marriage is never easy but we have grown apart."
A source then told ET that Bündchen felt "she needed to put her and her kids first" and had "had enough."
"Gisele has been working with her healer to stay in a place of peace and come to terms with her marriage ending," the source said. "Tom and Gisele have love for one another, but Gisele knew she had to put herself and her family first over football."
Meanwhile another source close to the couple told ET that "Tom is and always has been a devoted father, he has always put his kids and family first."
"While yes, he is on the road for games and trains in between, no other husband or father gets six months off a year to be totally devoted to their family. He is always with his family in between games and traveling," the second source says. "In this divorce, as per his statement, they arrived at this situation amicably, and the children remain at the center of their world. They will continue to co-parent and work together to ensure they receive the love and support needed."

4-year-old girl’s mysterious symptoms lead to cancer diagnosis
IOWA CITY, Iowa (KCRG/Gray News) - A 4-year-old Iowa girl is recovering from a rare type of brain cancer that specialists found after she began experiencing several strange symptoms.
In most ways, Scarlette Wheelock is like any other 4-year-old: she loves her stuffed toys, coloring and spending time with her mom. But unlike most 4-year-olds, she is recovering from brain cancer.
Her mother, Ashley Huebner, visited many different doctors after Scarlette started experiencing mysterious symptoms. She would get sick every morning, was unable to swallow food and her face began drooping.
Unfortunately, doctors seemed baffled by Scarlette’s case.
“They just diagnosed her with acid reflux. And I’m like, ‘She’s 4, so that’s weird,” Huebner told KCRG. “At that point, I’m like, ‘What is going on?’”
That’s when the family was referred to the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics, and Huebner’s worst fears were confirmed: Scarlette had a mass on her brain. It turned out to be a rare type of cancer.
“I was scared, but I knew I couldn’t show that because then she was going to get scared,” the mother said.
Many medical providers have never seen a case like Scarlette’s, which is why the team who treated her says there was a delay in diagnosis. In her unique case, a team of specialists acted fast to remove the tumor.
“All members of our team have their area of expertise, and we work together to come up with the best way to take care of our patients,” said Dr. Maggie Seblani, a hematologist-oncologist.
Huebner was grateful for the team.
“I never felt like I had to be thrown around different places. They all just came to me,” she said.
Scarlette’s tumor is now 70% gone and continues to shrink, thanks to the fast actions of the specialists. It’s a positive outcome that until this time last year, her mom wasn’t sure was possible.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than February 10, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts, about Twist's business and operations. Specifically, as alleged in the November 15, 2022 Scorpion Capital report, defendants overstated the commercial viability of Twist's synthetic DNA manufacturing technology while engaging in accounting fraud and using unsustainable pricing to inflate the company's true financial condition and prospects. As a result of defendants' wrongful acts and omissions, and the significant decline in the market value of Twist's common stock, members of the Class have suffered significant damages.
To join the Twist class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=10241 mailto:or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

PARIS (AP) — France on Thursday called for the “immediate release” of seven French nationals detained in Iran, denouncing an “unjustifiable and unacceptable” situation.
The French “hostages” in Iran include 35-year-old Louis Arnaud, foreign ministry spokesperson Anne-Claire Legendre said.
Arnaud was arrested Sept. 28 as he was traveling in Iran “for touristic reasons,” Legendre said. He is being detained in “very difficult conditions” in Tehran’s Evin prison, where France’s ambassador to Iran met with him on Dec. 11, she said.
The French government had not previously made Arnaud’s name public, Legendre said.
Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna discussed the detained French nationals in a phone call with Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Hossein Amirabdollahian, the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs said.
“We are especially worried about Bernard Phélan given his health condition,” Legendre said. The foreign ministry has said the French-Irish citizen, who has been detained in Iran since October, needs “appropriate medical care that is not provided” in prison.
Iran has detained a number of foreigners and dual nationals over the years, accusing them of espionage or other state security offenses and sentencing them after secretive trials in which rights groups say they are denied due process.
The families and support committees of Arnaud and other French people imprisoned in Iran, including Fariba Adelkhah, Benjamin Brière and Cécile Kohler, said they were organizing a Saturday gathering in Paris to draw attention to their cause.
Doctors Without Borders has organized a separate event in Paris that day to show support for Belgian national Olivier Vandecasteele. The aid worker, who worked for the nongovernmental organization for many years, was arrested in Tehran in February 2022.
Doctors without Borders said the conditions of his detention are putting Vandecasteele’s life at risk. | 2023-01-27T13:01:06+00:00 | krqe.com | https://www.krqe.com/news/world/ap-france-urges-release-of-7-nationals-jailed-in-iran/ |

(NEXSTAR) — It takes money to save money, apparently.
Bargain shoppers have long touted the savings they allege to accrue by purchasing their gargantuan boxes of granola bars or unwieldy packs of toilet paper at Costco. But before Costco members even set foot inside the store, their wallets need to be prepared to bear the immediate burden of buying in bulk — which sometimes means plunking down a more substantial dollar amount.
Recent data from Numerator, a market-research firm headquartered in Chicago, had suggested that the average Costco shopper spends just over $100 per visit for a total of around $3,000 per year, according to updated 2023 data first reported by Business Insider. Numerator data shared with Nexstar also appears to indicate that Costco’s average transaction is approximately double the average Target or Walmart transaction, which hover at around $50 and $54 bucks respectively, per the company’s findings.
But Numerator’s spending estimates relied on data provided by the firm’s own Receipt Hog app, meaning those “averages” are based only a small percentage of total Costco transactions.
So, how much does the average Costco actually spend?
The actual average transaction amount, per Costco shopper and per visit, is closer to “roughly $150 per order,” a representative for Costco told Nexstar, citing past earnings calls.
Costco’s own data suggests the average spend-per-visit has been growing too, with increases of 6.9% and 1.9% during the periods covered in Costco’s two most recent earnings reports, respectively.
The average Executive member — i.e., a Costco member who pays for the $120 Executive membership rather than the $60 Business of Gold Star membership — “spends more and shops more” than other types of customers, Costco CFO Richard Galanti added in a March earnings call.
Despite the membership fees and relatively large per-visit transactions, most Costco shoppers also appear to feel the perks are worth the cost. Membership renewal rates are at “all-times highs,” Galanti recently noted, with around 68.1 million paid memberships as of the last quarterly report.
It remains to be seen whether those renewal rates will remain high when Costco’s membership fees ultimately increase once again. Historically, the retailer has raised the Gold Star annual price between every five or six years, and the last membership hike took effect in June 2017.
“In our view, it’s a question of when, not if,” Galanti said during the March call. “And so we’ll let you know.” | 2023-03-26T14:39:44+00:00 | fox59.com | https://fox59.com/news/national-world/how-much-does-the-average-costco-shopper-spend-per-visit-costco-reveals-the-answer/ |

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — When Georgia cornerback Javon Bullard left TCU wide receiver Derius Davis all alone for a 60-yard catch in the first quarter, it seemed as if the Bulldogs’ secondary was in for another long night.
Instead, led by Bullard’s standout performance than earned him defensive most valuable player honors, the defensive backs for Georgia smothered quarterback Max Duggan, wide receiver Quentin Johnston and the Horned Frog’s high-octane passing game on Monday night.
“Man, we hold ourself to a high standard,” Georgia cornerback Kelee Ringo said. “In the past, there’s been kinks in certain parts of our game that we haven’t been able to do that, and I feel like today we were able to do that.”
Georgia allowed 152 yards through the air in its 65-7 win that secured a second straight national title. Duggan was 14 of 22 passing, finding Johnson for one reception for three yards. Davis had five catches for 101 yards and most of it came on TCU’s lone play longer than 25 yards.
Ringo said the breakdown when the defense tried to adjust to an audible but didn’t communicate the new call in time. How they responded to the gaffe is what stood out to Ringo.
“That just shows how short-minded we are, and we had an excellent mentality,” he said.
Bullard had two interceptions and recovered a fumble in the first half. The sophomore had never picked off a pass in his previous 27 college games.
“Javon, he’s a baller, man,” Ringo said. “He showed flashes of that throughout the entire year consistently, and I’m glad he was able to show more of that today.”
NO MILLER
TCU’s Emari Demercado, who grew up within walking distance of SoFi Stadium, got the start at running back after Kendre Miller was ruled out.
Miller suffered a sprained MCL to his right knee late in the first half of the Horned Frogs CFP semifinal victory over Michigan in the Fiesta Bowl. He went through pregame warmups with a bulky brace on his right knee, but did not appear to be running normally.
Demercado, who finished with 59 yards on 14 carries, knew he would be the lead back when he saw how much Miller was still limping.
“He’s been trying, just getting treatment and stuff, but he has a bright future ahead of him so there was no point in him risking it,” Demercado said of Miller, who rushed for 1,399 yards and 17 touchdowns this season.
RECORD BREAKING
In addition to smashing TCU, Georgia also demolished the record book for the culmination of the four-team playoff.
The Bulldogs scored the most points, besting Alabama’s 52 in 2021, and the 58-point margin of victory obliterated the previous mark of 28, shared by Clemson in 2019 and the Crimson Tide two years later. They also had the highest-scoring first quarter (17 points), first half (38) and third quarter (14).
Quarterback Stetson Bennett tied LSU’s Joe Burrow with six total touchdowns. Bennett had four scoring passes and two runs, equaling Burrow’s five passing and one rushing in 2020.
Bennett joined an eclectic collection of quarterbacks with multiple touchdown runs in BCS or CFP title games.
Craig Krenzel had two in Ohio State’s upset win over Miami in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl, and Vince Young had three to help Texas defeat Southern California in the legendary 2006 Rose Bowl.
COME BACK, STETSON
Georgia coach Kirby Smart’s 10-year-old son, Andrew, probably summed up how Bulldogs fans feel about Bennett exhausting his eligibility after going 29-3 as a starter and winning two national titles.
Smart asked his son why he was crying, only to find out it was because Bennett is leaving.
“I said, ‘He’s 25 years old. He’s got to go,’” the elder Smart said. | 2023-01-10T13:23:19+00:00 | wcia.com | https://www.wcia.com/news/national/georgia-sets-scoring-records-as-it-dominates-tcu-65-7-for-back-to-back-titles/ |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Pierce Brosnan has attempted to write about himself many times, but it’s through painting that the artist truly feels he can fully express himself.
“(The artwork) is biographical. I’ve tried to write the memoirs, and it’s so boring. It’s just having to dig into the head and the heart and the memory of life. And so these paintings definitely have a history of who I was, where I was, when I was,” said the actor.
Brosnan is publicly unveiling his most vulnerable role yet, hosting his first solo art exhibition — which runs through May 21 in Los Angeles. Titled “So Many Dreams,” it’s a collection of paintings and drawings that the actor created between the 1980s and present day.
Painting isn’t a new pandemic hobby or venture that the actor is just now tackling head-on. Although best known for playing James Bond and starring in other classics, Brosnan began pursuing the visual arts as a young boy living in Ireland.
He would later move to the United States, landing where he would land the lead role on NBC’s “Remington Steele,” which made Brosnan into a global household name and one of the most coveted actors in Hollywood.
“I found myself living here, and I was strongly influenced by the L.A. artists of the early 80s. I had a certain desire and wish and a want to paint. I had the money to afford the art supplies, the canvas, the brushes,” Brosnan said. “I bought all these wonderful, wonderful art supplies, and they just ended up in a cupboard.”
It wasn’t until 1987, when Brosnan’s late wife, Australian actor Cassandra Harris, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer that Brosnan would dust off his painting supplies and began to use the art form as an emotional release and comfort for him and Harris.
“One night, I got up, and I just started painting. I started painting with my fingers,” said Brosnan, recalling how he would would paint while Harris recovered from chemotherapy treatments. She died in 1991, but the actor has kept that first work, titled “One Dark Night” and it hangs in the exhibit.
Primary colors stretch across a smudged black painted canvas and one can almost see the frustration and release that Brosnan must have felt. “I went to the canvas to explore that dark rage, that kind of fractured pain that I had. But the color came out. And so the color balance to whatever that inner life was,” he said.
While pops of bright colors factor prominently in Brosnan’s art, he says he doesn’t wish to categorize his collection.
“Someone else can categorize it. It’s not up for me to define it. It’s the audience. It’s they who want to criticize or celebrate the work,” he said.
Brosnan credits his wife, journalist and documentarian Keely Shaye Brosnan, for giving him the courage and push to publicly display his art.
Many of Brosnan’s paintings are a result of drawings that he creates while chatting on the phone.
“My wife, Keely, bought these pads that sit by the phone with her initials, my initials. And soon as I am on a phone call, or I’m doing business, and I have a morning of calls. The pad is there, and the drawings just happen. They just show themselves, so they have a mystery.”
A wall of the exhibit features the drawings, many of which are faces that pop into his mind or photographs that he comes across. “I look at that, and I think, who is this person. ’Who is this man? What is the meaning of these images,” said the actor.
Brosnan’s first solo exhibit, thanks to a push from Keely and perfectly timed around the actor’s 70th birthday on Tuesday, is a celebration of his work and the dreams he’s fulfilled during his time.
“It’s my own birthday gift to myself to have the courage to say, come and see my artwork,” he said. “I still have so many dreams. I have fulfilled coming to America. Creating a career for myself was a big dream and a gamble, and it paid off. ‘So Many Dreams’ is a love story. It’s a love story of women who have influenced my life and my children and the art form that I make as an actor,” he added.
The exhibit has helped Brosnan see the totality of his work and he says he can now “work my way out of the weeds and trying to define it and trying to grow as an artist, as a painter.”
Brosnan wants to branch out into other art forms, ceramics, pottery, sculpture and even wood carvings.
“This is definitely a transitional moment in my life as an actor, as an artist … and that fills me with an exhilaration of expectations and desires and wants. And we shall see where the wind takes us.”
But Brosnan does have one solution to his failed attempts at writing a memoir.
“I think a book of paintings would be nice. It would be a coffee table book with a painting and then 500 words or more about that period in time, that person. That kind of that appeals to me.” | 2023-05-19T06:55:29+00:00 | siouxlandproud.com | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/entertainment-news/ap-pierce-brosnan-unveils-deeply-personal-paintings-in-1st-solo-art-exhibit/ |
PEACH SPRINGS, Ariz. (AP) — Garnett Querta slips on his work gloves as he shifts the big rig he’s driving into park. Within seconds, he unrolls a fire hose and opens a hydrant, sending water flowing into one of the plastic tanks on the truck’s flat bed.
His timer is set for 5 minutes, 20 seconds — when the tank will be full and he’ll turn to the second one.
The water pulled from the ground here will be piped dozens of miles across rugged landscape to serve the roughly 700,000 tourists a year who visit the Grand Canyon on the Hualapai reservation in northwestern Arizona — an operation that is the tribe’s main source of revenue.
Despite the Colorado River bordering more than 100 miles of Hualapai land in the canyon, the tribe can’t draw from it. Native American tribes in the Colorado River basin have inherent rights to the water, but the amount and access for a dozen tribes hasn’t been fully resolved, not for decades.
The 1922 Colorado River Compact that divided the water among states didn’t include a share for tribes. Now that the river is shrinking because of overuse, drought and human-caused climate change, tribes want the federal government to ensure their interests are protected.
EDITOR’S NOTE: This is part of a collaborative series on the Colorado River as the 100th anniversary of the historic Colorado River Compact approaches. The Associated Press, The Colorado Sun, The Albuquerque Journal, The Salt Lake Tribune, The Arizona Daily Star and The Nevada Independent are working together to explore the pressures on the river in 2022.
A water settlement pending in Congress would give the Hualapai Tribe the right to draw river water, plus $180 million to pipe it to tribal communities and the main tourist center at Grand Canyon West.
“It was the best of a bad deal,” said Phil Wisely, the tribe’s public services director. “And the thing is, I don’t think we could get a better deal, especially now.”
The Colorado River can no longer can meet the needs of the 40 million people and $15 billion agriculture industry that depend on it. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation recently announced that Arizona, Nevada and Mexico would see deeper cuts to their water supply in 2023. The agency also is asking seven Western states to find a way to conserve more.
LONG-STANDING RIGHTS
The 29 tribes in the Colorado River basin are in fact among the river’s most senior water rights holders, a determination often tied to the date the federal government established a reservation. Tribal water rights — once they’re fully resolved — could add up to about one-quarter of the river’s historic flow, according to the Water & Tribes Initiative.
Unlike other water users, tribes don’t lose access to water when they don’t use it. A 1908 U.S. Supreme Court decision known as the Winters Doctrine says tribes have the right to enough water to establish a permanent homeland. Often, tribes give up potentially huge water claims in exchange for an assured supply and federal funding to deliver it.
To the northeast of Hualapai, the Ute Indian Tribe has Colorado River tributaries flowing on its reservation east of Salt Lake City. While the tribe has secured some rights, not everyone agrees on how much more it should receive, delaying a settlement for decades.
Ute Indian Tribe leaders say they’re tired of reiterating that the federal government needs to protect tribal interests, a duty laid out in treaties and other acts.
“Until you start to deal with the inequities or the injustice, you can never really have any momentum going forward,” said Shaun Chapoose, chairman of the Ute Business Committee.
“You’re not resolving that. And they are in a position to do that, they are the federal government.”
The situation of both the Hualapai and Ute Indian Tribe highlights the frustration of Native American leaders across the basin that although their rights may not be quantified, they are real.
Other tribes that have secured water rights have pitched in to help their neighbors amid the prolonged drought by conserving water in key reservoirs along the Colorado River. Some lease or exchange water, and use it to sustain the environment, sometimes creating revenue for themselves.
But Jay Weiner, who represents tribes in water settlements, said it would be unjust to continue to rely heavily on tribes when they haven’t had access to the water as long as states in the basin.
“The tribes have already front-loaded and sacrificed by the fact that the basin has been able to use huge amounts of water that tribes have rights to over the past 100 years,” Weiner said.
In a statement to The Associated Press, the Interior Department did not say how tribal water rights, which are federal rights, would be protected as the river’s flow decreases. It said it is working with tribes that are affected by drought.
HAULING WATER ON HUALAPAI LAND
Querta’s job is a grind but he’s well-suited for it — analytical, quick and goal-oriented. He takes meticulous notes on water levels and quality as he fills the tanks that ensure tourists at Grand Canyon West have water.
The truck takes a beating on the gravel and dirt road on multiple round trips of more than 30 miles most days. The side mirrors and back windows that rattled loose are held together by red duct tape. Querta keeps tools on hand for minor repairs. Major ones or illness can put him out of commission.
He was out for two weeks because of COVID-19 last year and had no replacement.
“I didn’t mind because I didn’t want anybody to mess up my truck or my tanks,” said Querta. “I take care of this truck like it’s mine.”
Once he’s filled the tanks on the truck bed, the water is sent through a pipeline from just outside of Peach Springs to Grand Canyon West. The tourist center is crucial. Revenue from it funds tribal programs for the elderly, public works, the cultural center, scholarships and other social services. The main attraction is the Grand Canyon Skywalk — a horseshoe-shaped glass bridge that gives tourists a view of the Colorado River 4,000 feet below.
There is not a drop to spare at Grand Canyon West. A restaurant that overlooks the Grand Canyon has waterless urinals in the restrooms and faucets with sensors. Customers are served bottled water and food in disposable containers with plastic utensils, cutting out most of dish washing.
Even if the Hualapai eventually get water from the Colorado River, those practices will stay in place, said operations manager Alvaro Cobia-Ruesga.
“We see what’s going on, we have to conserve water for our future,” he said.
The tribe has long planned to expand Grand Canyon West with a store, fire and police station, housing and elementary school to serve tribal members who ride a shuttle up to five hours round trip daily from Peach Springs and surrounding communities to their jobs there.
But without a secure source of water for Grand Canyon West, it won’t happen, said tribal Chairman Damon Clarke. Under the settlement pending in Congress, the tribe would be responsible for building out the infrastructure to deliver water.
“One of the biggest things with our settlement is hope for the future and getting this not for us at this time but for the generations ahead,” Clarke said.
Part of the reason the Hualapai Tribe did not prioritize discussions on water rights long ago is because tribal members believed that water came with their land, said Rory Majenty, board chairman of the Grand Canyon Resort Corp. that oversees Grand Canyon West.
“We took things for granted,” he said. “Like you knew you were going to eat, you knew the sun was going to come up. Tomorrow is another day.”
The settlement has its critics, including Hualapai rancher Clay Bravo. He said the tribe should wait, negotiate a better deal and develop groundwater resources at the same time. He’s not satisfied with a lower priority water right that he equates to crumbs, given the Hualapai Tribe has been on the land since time immemorial.
“How can we run a race and come in first and get the fourth-place trophy?” Bravo said, leaning against a pickup truck on a rocky road overlooking an old water well that was contaminated with radium.
Even with secure water rights, tribes can’t always fully put the water to use because they lack infrastructure. A pipeline eventually will reach the southwestern portion of the Jicarilla Apache Nation in New Mexico through another tribe’s water settlement to boost economic development in the region. Jicarilla Apache has leased water it already has access to for energy production, recreation and conservation, and to benefit threatened and endangered fish. Tribes in the Phoenix area have leased water to nearby cities.
The Colorado River Indian Tribes, whose reservation sits along the river bordering Arizona and California, doesn’t have the legal authority to lease its water, though a bill is pending in Congress to authorize it.
“It’s our sovereignty and beneficial rights of our water — the full beneficial rights of our water,” said tribal Chairwoman Amelia Flores. “We want to lease, we don’t want to sell our water, and that’s the difference.”
WHAT IS JUST?
The Ute Indian Tribe wants that same ability. The tribe asserts rights to 550,000 acre-feet. (An acre-foot is enough water to serve two to three U.S. households annually). A settlement negotiated 30 years ago recognizes about half of that.
“Utah’s position is that’s the number we’re comfortable with, and we think that does more than enough to satisfy the claims of the Utes,” said Utah deputy state engineer Jared Manning.
But the tribe hasn’t ratified the settlement. The Utes have sued in federal court over access to water. A judge ruled in one case last year that the tribe waited too long to bring its claims against the federal government and Utah.
Daniel McCool, professor emeritus at the University of Utah, said the larger question is whether the Ute Indian Tribe has been treated justly and whether funding for water diversions have been on par with non-Native American interests.
“There’s a reason why the tribe doesn’t have much water and why almost all the water in the region is being used by white people,” said McCool, who studies tribal water rights. “Look at who got the money, the Central Utah Project. Who got the water? Ask yourself that and ask, ‘does this look fair to you?’”
It’s a question tribal members have posed for decades, whether the first inhabitants of what’s now the U.S. should have anything but the oldest, most secure water rights. Inevitably, others will lose water they’ve grown accustomed to using as tribes gain access to it.
“People have been taking our water. Are they taking it legally or illegally?” Majenty said.
“The argument from the other side is it’s capitalism, free enterprise. That’s where they got us. Ownership is where it’s at. Until you have a piece of paper, it’s not yours.”

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Small and midsize business (SMB) CEO confidence posted incremental quarterly gains in Q4 2022, according to the latest CEO Confidence Index from Vistage, as SMB leaders' expectations for hiring and profit grew.
Vistage, a CEO coaching and peer advisory organization, has measured SMB CEOs' sentiment on a variety of economic and business factors each quarter since 2003. In Q4 2022, the Vistage CEO Confidence Index continued to trend upwards reaching 75.3, up from 73.4 in Q3 2022 and 69 in Q2 2022; however, this recording is 22.9% below Q4 2021 largely due to continued uncertainty about the length and depth of a potential recession.
"As economic uncertainty persists, business leaders are shifting their focus to areas they have more control over, such as hiring and retention," said Joe Galvin, Vistage's chief research officer. "Despite fears of potential recession, unemployment has stayed at near-record bottoms and the job market has proven its resiliency. In the new year, we can expect hiring to remain a priority for CEOs, and begin to see some degree of stabilization after the unprecedented turbulence of 2022."
- 60% of SMB CEOs plan to increase hiring in the year ahead (up from 52% in the prior two quarters, but below last year's 76%)
- 61% report hiring challenges are impacting their ability to operate at full capacity
- For the first time the proportion that say it is easier to hire (28%) is greater than those that report it harder to hire (20%) compared to the start of 2022 (52% reported no change)
- 87% already have or are planning to invest in automation technology in order to reduce the labor burden
- For those having trouble hiring–
- 43% of SMB CEOs anticipate higher profits in the year ahead (up from 38% in Q3 2022 and 32% in Q2 2022, but below last year's 51%)
- 58% expect increased revenues in the year ahead (up from 54% in Q3 2022 and 52% in Q2 2022, but below last year's 74%)
- 70% of SMB CEOs intend to increase prices for their products or services in the year ahead
- 88% reported they are currently offering higher wages to new hires compared to wages offered for similar roles one year ago
- When asked about which effects of inflation are impacting their business:

Giannis and other notable players are on the injury report for Friday night
The Milwaukee Bucks won’t have Giannis Antetokounmpo and several other notable players Friday night when they host the Memphis Grizzlies, who can take the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference with a victory.
Milwaukee already wrapped up the No. 1 seed in the NBA and home-court advantage throughout the playoffs with its 105-92 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night.
The injury report released Thursday lists Antetokounmpo as out with a sore right knee. Other Bucks unavailable to play are: Jrue Holiday (rest), Khris Middleton (sore right knee), Brook Lopez (rest), Grayson Allen (sprained right ankle) and Pat Connaughton (sprained right ankle).
Middleton left the Bulls game after hurting his knee. An injury to his right knee had caused Middleton to miss 19 straight games earlier this season.
Allen will be missing a third straight game after hurting his ankle Sunday in a 117-104 triumph over the Philadelphia 76ers. Antetokounmpo and Connaughton didn’t play against the Bulls.
Memphis (50-30) has a two-game lead over Sacramento (48-32) for second place in the West with two games left in the season, but the Kings own the tiebreaker. Denver took the No. 1 seed in the West on Wednesday.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Members of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity partnered with Chiavetta's to offer free chicken dinners at Johnnie B. Wiley Sports Pavilion on Sunday afternoon.
The fraternity says they are disheartened by the May 14 mass shooting, where 10 people were killed and three more wounded, and added that they wanted to bring people together, in unity.
Priority was given to those directly impacted by the Tops shooting, but the whole community was welcome to come together for a hot meal.
"Sunday is typically a day of celebration, rest and fellowship," David M. White of Omega Psi Phi said. "Today we are recognizing the first responders and volunteers that have been working all week, families of the victims, and then those in the local community, just to offer some uplift and cause of celebration as we really begin the healing process."
The sports pavilion is still offering free groceries and counseling for anyone who is in need. | 2022-05-23T00:51:32+00:00 | wgrz.com | https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/special-reports/buffalo-mass-shooting/free-chicken-dinners-offered-to-help-buffalo-heal/71-d00bc2f0-8214-4d91-a53d-ec0f3249371c |
UK headquartered payments fintech, posts strong growth at home and abroad
Strong results reflect Moneycorp's unique ability to deliver specialist, international currency payments
LONDON, May 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Moneycorp, one of the world's leading payments fintechs, today publishes its results for the full year 2021 and a trading update for the three months ended 31st March 2022.
"We are delighted to announce a very strong set of 2021 results. The investments we have made to refocus the business as an international, digitally enabled payments provider, have resulted in significant growth and market share gains, with 84% of income now derived from B2B payments and banking services.
"We remain focused on our strategy to grow our position as a world-leading digital payments platform by capitalising on the strength of our technology, high-quality service, transparent pricing and cost-efficient operating model.

Mark Horgan, Chief Executive
Group FY financial metrics*
* Continuing operations only, excluding retail
** Trading volumes represents flow measured as single leg transaction volume
Full year 2021 highlights
- Significant growth in EBITDA, excluding retail, up 38% to £36.74m, with the most significant EBITDA growth derived from Financial Institutions Group (FIG) operations in EMEA (up 77%) and International Payment Services in North America (up 35%).
- The Group continues to digitalise its client solutions, with approximately 61% of international payment transactions completed via either the Group's online payments platform or mobile app. During the year, the Group completed a significant data centre migration, now employing Microsoft Azure, to improve scalability and security.
- Following the strategic decision taken in 2020 to exit retail operations, the Group has now closed all bureau de change operations with the closure of the last remaining retail branch at Gatwick Airport in April 2022.
Group Q1 2022 financial metrics*
* Continuing operations only, excluding retail
** Trading volumes represents flow measured as single leg transaction volume
Q1 2022 highlights
- Strong quarterly result, with momentum demonstrated in 2021 carrying into 2022. Q1 Group EBITDA up 70% year-on-year to £14.84m reflecting client demand for specialist international payment services at a time of significant currency volatility and supply chain disruption.
- An improving year-on-year EBITDA margin of 31% as a result of an increase in trading income, prudent cost management with continued investment in the Group's core capabilities, technology and support function.
- Strong performance across all business areas, with significant market share gains supported by on-going investment in product innovation and proposition development to provide a best-in-class offer to clients.
- Increased volumes in international payments driven by growth in both new and established underlying business, particularly in North America, the UK and EU. The significant increase in volume has outpaced deal count, leading to a 25% increase in average transaction values.
- The Group continues to build its banking capabilities through Moneycorp Bank, offering a one-stop international payments solution for clients trading foreign exchange, holding cash on deposit or spending on prepaid cards, and is underpinned by a multi-currency single IBAN account. The contribution of Moneycorp Banco de Cambio has also increased as a result of strong spot transaction volumes and increasing market share in Brazil, albeit from a small base, with strong year-on-year growth in this market.
- The Group's FIG division, which utilises Moneycorp Bank's membership of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's (FRBNY's) Foreign Bank International Cash Services (FBICS) programme, continues to see strong demand for US dollars, amongst other low-volatility currencies, as investors and market participants reduce their risk appetite in response to global geopolitical tensions.
- The Board has reviewed all clients and transactions and can confirm full compliance with all applicable international sanctions with regards to the war in Ukraine. The Group is no longer offering trades for currency pairs with Russian Ruble (RUB) or Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH) and there are no remaining exposures to these currencies. All payments and transactions to any parties on sanction lists, in any currency, have been suspended indefinitely.
Outlook
Moneycorp continues to perform well against its key metrics, with revenue and EBITDA growth underpinned by its strong and resilient business model. We continue to see significant increase in demand from SME clients and financial institutions that require a trusted, scale partner to provide sophisticated currency solutions for their businesses around the world. Notwithstanding the uncertainty caused by the war in Ukraine and macro-economic headwinds, the Group expects growth to continue for the remainder of the year as it further enhances its existing offer to clients and expands into new products and markets.

Montana's VA director will leave her position following months of oversight concerns
Victoria Traxler
The Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) announced Thursday it’s replacing Montana’s VA Health Care System Director. | 2023-07-21T23:57:23+00:00 | mtpr.org | https://www.mtpr.org/tags/duane-gill |
Mahalo for supporting Honolulu Star-Advertiser. Enjoy this free story!
The U.S. Coast Guard Foundation will be hosting “Tribute to the 14th Coast Guard District” Sept. 23 at Nico’s Upstairs, an event that’s expected to bring local leaders and top service brass to an increasingly busy area of Coast Guard operations.
Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Linda Fagan and District 14 Commander Rear Adm. Michael Day are expected to attend, along with other Coast Guard personnel and community leaders. Coast Guard District 14, headquartered in Honolulu, is the largest of the service’s operating districts, spanning 14 million square miles of land and sea.
Coast Guard members assigned to the district are tasked with providing search and rescue services to Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, as well as responding to requests for help from Pacific island nations that often have limited resources of their own.
“Men and women of this U.S. Coast Guard district have a heroic, vital mission that covers an incredibly vast area,” said the Coast Guard Foundation’s Susan Ludwig in a news release announcing the event. “The service members of the Fourteenth District inspire us every day with their bravery and dedication, and so it is a great privilege for us to be able to honor them.”
In recent years, policymakers have pushed for an increased Coast Guard presence in the region as concerns about illegal fishing have become a topic of discussion in national security circles.
In 2020, Fagan’s predecessor, Adm. Karl Schultz, wrote in a report that illegal fishing had supplanted piracy as the top security threat on the high seas, warning that “this exploitation erodes both regional and national security, undermines maritime rules-based order, jeopardizes food access and availability, and destroys legitimate economies.”
Much of the renewed attention on illegal fishing has focused on China’s distance fishing fleet. By far the world’s largest, it benefits from government subsidies that allow vessels to stay out longer and collect much more fish than its competitors. But there are also other concerns for military leaders.
In joint report released in December 2020, the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard warned that China “deploys a multilayered fleet” that includes “naval auxiliaries disguised as civilian vessels.” Australian and U.S. Navy vessels have reported being followed by mysterious Chinese vessels.
In December, District 14 responded to a request from Palau to assist in tracking Da Yang Hao, a Chinese survey vessel that Palau said illegally entered its waters in late November. A Coast Guard HC-130 Hercules based out of Barbers Point flew to Palau and made radio contact with Da Yang Hao’s crew, which told the Americans they were waiting out a storm.
Before coming to Palau, the ship had been spotted moving through the maritime territories of India, the Philippines and Malaysia.
But it’s not just Chinese vessels that the Coast Guard is chasing. Documents obtained by the Honolulu Star-Advertiser earlier this year showed that in 2020, District 14 personnel intercepted Taiwanese vessels illegally fishing in Guam waters. And in February 2020, a Taiwanese fishing vessel attacked a much smaller Honolulu- based tuna longliner just on the edge of Hawaii waters.
In 2019, the Coast Guard Foundation hosted its tribute to District 14 at the Bishop Museum, where celebrity chef Roy Yamaguchi was among those preparing meals. Local Hawaii chefs and Coast Guard culinary personnel will be preparing the meals for this year’s event.
Individual tickets start at $450 with different rates for groups and sponsors.

BELLEAIR, Fla. -- Allisen Corpuz is closing out a solid rookie year on the LPGA Tour, and now the Hawaii native has a chance to make it even better at the Pelican Women's Championship.
Corpuz made four birdies in a six-hole stretch in the middle of her second round Saturday and had another 5-under 65, giving her a one-shot lead going into the final round of the penultimate LPGA Tour event of the year.
Right behind Corpuz is a group of top contenders, making that one-shot lead feel even smaller.
Maja Stark of Sweden, who starred at Oklahoma State and earned LPGA Tour membership with a co-sanctioned win in Northern Ireland this summer, had eight birdies at Pelican Golf Club -- none on the par 5s -- for a 63.
She was one shot behind along with Lexi Thompson (67) and Maria Fassi of Mexico, who followed her career-best 62 with a hard-earned 69 that left the 24-year-old in position to win for the first time and qualify for the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship.
Corpuz, twice an All-American while at Southern California and a Curtis Cup player, didn't make a bogey until her final hole at the par-3 ninth.
She was at 10-under 130.
The tournament has been cut short to 54 holes because of heavy rain from Tropical Storm Nicole that washed out the opening round.
The Pelican Women's Championship is the final event for the leading 60 players in the CME Race to the Globe to qualify for the final event, which has a $7 million purse with a record $2 million for the winner.
Fassi is at No. 72 and needs a strong week to advance. She was in a three-way tie for second going into the final round, which would be enough.
But so many players are in contention.
Nelly Korda (66) and Carlota Ciganda (68) were two shots out of the lead. Twelve players were separated by four shots going into the final round.
"I think that I have to play good golf tomorrow to come out at the top. It doesn't matter if you're playing in the last group or a few behind," Fassi said. "I think if you post a good round, that's all really I can do. I'm just happy that I'm in contention. I'm happy we're even having this conversation."
About the only one missing was Lydia Ko, who played her final 11 holes in even par and had to settle for a 69. That left her seven shots behind -- with 26 players ahead of her. Ko could have wrapped up LPGA Player of the Year with a victory.
Now it starts with Corpuz going for her first win in her rookie season.
"Just had a good year so far and kind of want to end the season on a good note," Corpuz said. "Trying to put myself in position for tomorrow, and, yeah really happy that I can be where I am."
Korda and Thompson have yet to win on the LPGA Tour this year -- for Thompson, the drought goes back three years. Both won on the Saudi-funded Aramco Team Series on the Ladies European Tour this year, Korda in Spain, Thompson in New York.
A year ago, they were part of a three-way playoff at Pelican that Korda won with a birdie. Now it's a mix of major champions and rookies and a sprint to the finish.
"Experience helps, but at the same time, golf is such a crazy game. Anybody can have their days out there and bring their A-game," Thompson said. "That's what you never know about it. Every day can be different. There are so many great players out here. You have to play your top-notch game every time you tee it up and you have to make birdies and shoot low, especially if the weather is going to be nice." | 2022-11-13T08:08:02+00:00 | espn.com | https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/35016018/allisen-corpuz-shoots-65-1-shot-lead-pelican-women-championship |

Arthur-Lovington-Atwood-Hammond Knights (boys)
Coach: Lyle Dorjahn (fourth season).
Fall 2021 finish: Team placed second in the Class 1A state meet.
What is your outlook for the 2022 Knights?
Dorjahn: "We're short on numbers. Those that are with us are fast and motivated to continue our team's recent successes. Summer workouts have been good.
"As usual, our group's goal is to be running our best during postseason. We have several meets to serve as measuring sticks of progress (First to the Finish, St. Joseph-Ogden, Patriot Invite).
"Capable achievements and milestones include attempting to win the Lincoln Prairie Conference championship again (fourth consecutive) and gunning for another regional trophy (fourth consecutive). We hope to be among the leaders at IHSA state championships."
Who are some athletes that will be integral to your team's success?
Dorjahn: "Our top five athletes include senior Logan Beckmier, a returning all-stater who placed 13th in 2021; seniors Lyle Adcock and Jacob Adcock, top-50 state finishers in 2021; senior Connor Edmonds and sophomore Caden Binder. Note that the five athletes mentioned are the entire boys' roster."
Who are departing athletes from the previous season that will be important to replace?
Dorjahn: "Key departures include Jace Green, who is running at Western Illinois, and Jacob Duzan."
Centennial Chargers (girls)
Coach: Laura Koterba-Buss (21st season).
Fall 2021 finish: Team placed 12th in a Class 2A sectional; Brooklynn Sweikar qualified for the 2A state meet individually, placing 95th.
What is your outlook for the 2022 Chargers?
Koterba-Buss: "My outlook for the 2022 team is filled with hope for a fun and competitive group. I believe we have the personnel to be as competitive as we have been in recent years.
"My goals for the season are for team members to report that they had fun and will return next year on their exit questionnaire, and to qualify the team for the sectional meet. I think we are capable of qualifying for sectionals as a team."
Who are some athletes that will be integral to your team's success?
Koterba-Buss: "For our team to be competitive throughout the season and qualify for the sectional meet, the following student-athletes will need to stay healthy and progress throughout the season: juniors Sweikar, Annika Blackburn and Kaylee Sweikar, sophomore Nicole Granger and freshmen Josie Potter and Molly Pate. We will need Granger and Pate to step up consistently in the five and six spots. Sophomore Grace Elrick and freshman Alaina Kimble are in the mix for fifth and sixth runners."
Champaign Central Maroons (boys)
Coach: Steven Kesler (fourth season).
Fall 2021 finish: Team placed 27th in the Class 2A state meet.
What is your outlook for the 2022 Maroons?
Kesler: "We have a strong group of upperclassmen and some very talented young runners as well. Seven out of our top eight runners from last season are returning from a team that went to state, so we have a very positive outlook. We are healthy at this time, and for the most part our guys had great summers. We are excited for the opportunity to compete and believe we can have a tremendous season if we stay the course.
"I would really like to see us take Twin City this year. Beyond that, it would be nice to move up from our fifth-place finish at Big 12 last year. We really want to be in the top two or three this year and believe we can compete with the best in our conference.
"To be honest, I do think this team is capable of achieving a lot. But I want to guard some of that optimism at this point in the season. I know that if one or two guys get hurt, our outlook changes. We are deeper this year, but I'm still not ready to speculate too much about what this team could accomplish. I do think we will see some nice team finishes at our invites along the way, and hopefully good success in the postseason as well."
Who are some athletes that will be integral to your team's success?
Kesler: "Peter Smith is a senior with a personal record of 15 minutes, 58 seconds. He's a great leader and hard worker who sets the example every day at practice.
"Fynn Bright is a junior with a PR of 16:22. He has great potential and could really put it all together this season and see great improvement.
"Jakob Riley is a sophomore with a PR of 16:40, run two weeks ago at Detweiler at Dark. He's incredibly dedicated and hardworking and never skips a rep. He had a huge track season, and we're looking for big improvement from him.
"Caleb Mathias is a freshman with a PR of 16:42, run two weeks ago at Detweiller at Dark. He's very talented and pushes the older guys at practice. He was a state champ in the mile at Edison.
"Nick Bonn is a senior with a PR of 16:49. He had a great track season and a big summer, and we're looking for him to drop significant time as well.
"Cooper Sweet is a senior with a PR of 16:52. He has been healthy so far and had a really good summer. We're hoping he can put together a great senior year. Great kid and leader of this team."
Who is a departing athlete from the previous season that will be important to replace?
Kesler: "Our lone varsity senior last year was Victor Smith. He was a great influence on his teammates and a much-needed dose of maturity for us. I am definitely going to miss his presence this year, but we have a strong group of seniors who have done a nice job so far of following in his footsteps."
Mahomet-Seymour Bulldogs (girls)
Coach: Jama Grotelueschen (third season).
Fall 2021 finish: Team placed 24th in the Class 2A state meet.
What is your outlook for the 2022 Bulldogs?
Grotelueschen: "We graduated eight runners from last year, five of whom had some varsity exposure throughout last season. We are young, but we have the individuals to progress nicely throughout the season and hopefully peak at the most-opportune time. I believe it will be a year of tremendous growth for our team and for many individuals as well.
"We strive to help our athletes achieve their full potential as runners. We love individual personal records. I am excited about the possibilities this year, to see who steps up and really surprises. A team goal is always to make the state meet. If we do make it, it is my hope that we capitalize on being there this year.
"We had so many experienced runners last year, we started off the season full throttle. This year, I believe it will be more of a slow build. But I ultimately believe we can earn a state berth and improve upon last year's finish."
Who are some athletes that will be integral to your team's success?
Grotelueschen: "Ava Boyd is a junior with a PR of 18 minutes, 44 seconds. She has worked relentlessly this summer. She is primed for her best season yet.
"Chole Bundren is a sophomore with a PR of 19:02 who ran in our top two to three all year last year. She has a natural ease to her running. Having the experience from last year will help her tremendously this year.
"Callie Jansen is a senior with a PR of 19:21. She had her best season as a junior. She is determined to end her high school career on a high note.
"Lauren Bednar is a junior with a PR of 21:19. She was improving every race last season. She had a good summer of running and is looking stronger than ever.
"Morgan Waisath is a sophomore with a PR of 21:40. She was on a roll last year before she dealt with an illness the second half of the season. I'm excited to see what she can do when she is 100 percent.
"Ava Jansen is a sophomore with a PR of 19:44. She had an amazing freshman season before an injury sidelined her. She is a determined athlete and is improving every day.
"Hadley Grotelueschen is a freshman and top-five runner last year for Mahomet-Seymour Junior High, which placed 12th at state. She has a 2-mile PR of 13:05. She has benefited from the increased mileage of summer high school running and has wonderful teammates pushing her to get better."
Who are departing athletes from the previous season that will be important to replace?
Grotelueschen: "We had eight amazing senior leaders that fostered such a positive culture for our program. All eight competed all four years of high school, which is almost unheard of these days. Elizabeth Sims, who was all-state her freshman year and all-conference all four years, was a tremendous asset to our program. Emily Bednar, Grace Lietz, Klein Powell, Delaney King and Chole Allen all had a significant number of varsity races over their career and were all wonderful role models for our younger runners."
Tuscola Warriors (boys)
Coach: Neal Garrison (first season).
Fall 2021 finish: Team placed seventh in a Class 1A sectional; Jackson Barrett and Josiah Hortin qualified individually for the 1A state meet, placing 55th and 59th, respectively.
What is your outlook for the 2022 Warriors?
Garrison: "Our boys' team missed qualifying for state by one place last year. Our runners hope to improve from where they were last year, so that they can be a similar team in the end to what they had last year. Our team lost six runners due to graduation. This was a significant portion of our team. Our regional and sectional meets have some of the toughest single-A teams in the state each year. Teams like Monticello, St. Joseph-Ogden, Arthur-Lovington-Atwood-Hammond, Unity, Shelbyville, St. Thomas More, Robinson and Uni High, to name a few, have all earned state trophies over the years in cross-country. They have established cross-country programs with excellent coaching. It will be a real challenge to beat any of these programs, to be able to advance to the sectional meet or state meet. However, I think our boys have a chance to qualify for the sectional meet this year.
"My main goal for this team is to get them ready for next year (the 2023-24 season). This year I just hope to get to know my runners and have them leave the season genuinely enjoying running. It would be nice if I can support and encourage each runner to run their lifetime best this season.
"Last year, this team qualified for the sectional meet. The team lost a significant number of strong runners to graduation. This will make it harder for our team to be as strong as it was last year. However, I think the boys have a goal to try to qualify for the sectional meet this year."
Who are some athletes that will be integral to your team's success?
Garrison: "I haven't gotten a chance to meet all of the runners on the team yet. However, these seven runners stand out as having a good chance of being in our top seven this season: senior Mason Veach, juniors Barrett, Hortin, Will Foltz and Bryce Graves, and sophomores Aaron Hegarty and Xander Neamtu.
"Jackson, Will, Bryce, Aaron, Josiah and Mason are all returning runners to our team. I believe their previous cross-country experience will really benefit the team. Xander is joining our team for the first time. Xander has shown strong character and work ethic this summer."
Who are departing athletes from the previous season that will be important to replace?
Garrison: "Our team lost Thomas Brown, John Hegarty, Mason Holmes, Jacob Middleton, Riley Nolan and Logan Wallace. Nolan and Wallace are a big losses, as they were both an important part of our sectional-qualifying team. They will be hard to replace."
Uni High Illineks (girls)
Coach: Rachael Brewer (third season).
Fall 2021 finish: Team placed ninth in the Class 1A state meet.
What is your outlook for the 2022 Illineks?
Brewer: "Uni cross-country hopes to have a great season, but we have some large holes to fill on our varsity squad. We lost five of our top seven athletes from last year. As of right now, only three of the athletes on the girls’ team ran consistently this summer. We will need some of our underclassmen to step up in a huge way of we want to qualify for the state meet as a team.
"We always have the goal of qualifying our team for the Class 1A state cross-country meet in November. If we are unable to do that we, want to qualify as many individuals as possible for the meet.
"Based off our first few days of practice, we have a lot of work to do. Kate Ahmari looks to be in great shape along with Kara Mathias and Edie Hoganson, but everyone else has a lot of work to do. If we can get a strong top five, I think we will have a successful season. But that is going to require some underclassmen or first-year cross-country athletes to make some huge improvements."
Who are some athletes that will be integral to your team's success?
Brewer: "Ahmari, Mathias and Hoganson. From there I am really up in the air. I hesitate to even list any other names because we have a huge drop-off after Edie."
Who are departing athletes from the previous season that will be important to replace?
Brewer: "Cadi Hu, Stefania Dzhaman, Erin Smith, Madeleine Keenan and Maxine van der Donk are all departing athletes from our team. All of these athletes were integral in helping us place ninth at state last season. Kate and Kara are our only returning varsity runners. Edie was our number eight athlete all last season, so she does have some experience running at larger meets."
Unity Rockets (girls)
Coach: Kara Leaman (eighth season).
Fall 2021 finish: Team won the Class 1A state championship.
What is your outlook for the 2022 Rockets?
Leaman: "We are coming off a summer of consistent work, showing a strong commitment to the upcoming season, where we look to be strong competition for area and state-wide teams.
"I'm looking forward to seeing how our younger runners fit into the varsity fold this season. We have the IESA Class 2A individual champion joining us as a freshman, Mackenzie Pound. In addition, we have several sophomores who have made big strides since last season. Integrating this talent into the pack of the returning varsity juniors will be at the top of our goal list. We want to push and pull each other to be our best in November.
"We like to think positive and aim high, so placing top three at the state meet is a target we shoot for. We have leaders who understand the value of the process, and shorter-term goals are always important, too. We have some key area races we always look forward to like the Chrisman Cow Chip to kick off the season and the Spartan Classic a few weeks into September, and we want to win these big invitationals.
"We’ve never had more than two runners make top 25 at state. This may be our year."
Who are some athletes that will be integral to your team's success?
Leaman: "Junior Olivia Shike is our lone all-stater from last year (19th) and is a leader on and off the course. She is involved and competes in many extracurricular events with much success, and naturally pours herself into her teammates.
"Junior Erica Woodard set the 3,200-meter school record last track season, running 11 minutes, 3 seconds. She is coming off a successful track season and solid summer mileage increase. We hope to see her more consistently up front in the big invites this season.
"Cross-country is second to basketball for junior Reagan Stringer, but she is talented and strong once we get her full-time in the fall. I have no doubt she can help us late in the season when we need her most.
"Sophomore Emily Decker was part of our 3,200 relay that placed fourth in the Class 1A state meet last track season. She has been progressing this summer and looks to be one of our scoring varsity runners.
"Pound was the state champion at the IESA 2A cross-country meet last year. She has put in a great summer, and we look forward to seeing her compete at the next level."
Who are departing athletes from the previous season that will be important to replace?
Leaman: "Harper Hancock really come through for us at the 2021 state meet. She ran a monumental race and took 30th, as our number three runner. Malia Fairbanks was anywhere from the number one to number five runner for us last year. She is a person who makes things happen, and we will miss her enthusiasm and leadership."
Urbana Tigers (boys)
Coach: Zach Boehmke (first season).
Fall 2021 finish: Team placed 19th in the Class 2A state meet.
What is your outlook for the 2022 Tigers?
Boehmke: "The boys from Urbana are coming off a state-qualifying year for the first time in 50 years. We lost three important pieces of that team. However, our four remaining pieces are better runners after another year of experience and are supplemented by guys that are ready to rise to the challenge of qualifying once again. Because we are so junior-heavy, we know that this is the first of two years of growth, which should hopefully culminate in something special. We want to be able to compete locally and retain our Twin City title, but we also want to hold steady in the larger meets. If we can work our pack average down to 16 minutes and 15 seconds, which would require a decent but doable amount of growth along with a couple surprises thrown in, we should be right back to where we were last year as a top-20 team in the state.
"This is a team looking to compete and get back to the state meet. With few seniors, this is a team that is only going to get better over the course of this season and next. We will be pack-centric, and the strength of that pack is going to ultimately guide where we end up this season. Our goals are to also nail the basics: show up for each other, work with a collective focus and give our best efforts when needed.
"Fortunately, we have last year’s team as a pacesetter for us, so we know what to look for at each step of the way. The regular season is going to be our time to gain experience and grow as a pack and team. Champaign Central is going to be tough competition this year, so in a small meet like Twin City we hope to be pushing them for the title. In our larger meets (Peoria Invitational, Richard Spring), strong packs can be favored, so we hope to be in the top 10 to 15 of 2A schools in those meets. Conference will be tough, but a top-three position at the conference meet would be a great result this year. From there, we hope to match or exceed our results from last year (third at regional, fourth at sectional). A state qualification would be a positive harbinger for the future.
"The team hasn’t qualified for state in back-to-back years since 1970-71, which would make 51 years if we are able to replicate that feat."
Who are some athletes that will be integral to your team's success?
Boehmke: "Julio Angrave is our sole senior. He ran through injury most of last season, causing him to miss sectionals. In spring and summer, he dropped significant time off his 800 and 1,500, bringing our 3,200-meter relay to its first state finals appearance in school history and the Vipers Track Club to a number two placing in the country. He has a large potential for improvement in cross-country.
"Junior Brian Allison showed huge improvements last season to become a tough, dependable number three guy. He missed most of track season with a stress reaction, but is healthy and ready to show improved form this coming season.
"Junior Hudson Coady committed to running year-round in the spring when he chose to run track. He was the number six guy last year, but has shown true racing stripes this past season and is ready for a breakout season in cross-country.
"Sophomore Mohammad Amrani is a newcomer to cross-country. He fell in love with distance running during track. He ran a 5-flat mile at the end of the season. He has been super dependable and put in big miles this summer.
"Junior Michael Allison was our most-improved runner last cross-country season. He dropped three minutes to join our scoring five. After a minor injury in the spring, he had some of his best racing yet and has put in his most consistent summer.
"Junior Parker Schroeder is another guy who broke out this past spring. He has the best finishing kick on the team and has put in consistent miles this summer. He would take pressure off the top five if we see a big drop this spring.
"Sophomore Dereje Jahiel has a ton of potential. We're hoping he can latch on to the pack and provide some support to the top seven."
Who are departing athletes from the previous season that will be important to replace?
Boehmke: "Sam Lambert is the number three 3-miler in Urbana High history, and a three-time state finalist. His personality will be missed, but his legacy left a huge impression on our boys.
"Park Mitchell is another top-25 3-miler in Urbana High history, and a three-time state qualifier. He was the vocal leader of the boys last year.
"Emmanuel Lokango was always a sage for younger athletes to go talk to. He came through when it mattered with a 45-second PR at state.
"Christian Berry and Jonathan Sanchez-Huanca were two boys who were imperative to the growth of our team." | 2022-08-21T15:07:13+00:00 | news-gazette.com | https://www.news-gazette.com/sports/2022-prep-cross-country-season-preview-closer-look-at-a-few-area-programs/article_723cdd0a-dd3c-523a-bc26-af3561a01b9a.html |
The victims included four grocery store employees as well as six customers, several of them regulars at the store, according to the Buffalo Police Department and those who knew them.

Here is what's known about the victims so far:
Ruth Whitfield, 86
Ruth Whitfield, one of the victims of the shooting at a Tops supermarket in Buffalo, NY, is seen in an undated family photo, May 15, 2022.
Ruth Whitfield was returning home from visiting her husband in a nursing home when she stopped by Tops to pick up groceries -- "a daily ritual," her son, Garnell Whitfield, told ABC News Sunday morning.
Ruth Whitfield was in the store when the gunman opened fire and was among the 10 who died in the shooting, Garnell Whitfield, a former Buffalo fire chief, said.
Garnell Whitfield described his mother's devotion to her family, especially her husband, whose health has been declining over the past eight years.

"She was there just about every day, taking care of him, making sure he was well cared for by the staff, washing, ironing his clothes, making sure he was dressed appropriately, making sure his nails were cut and clean and shaved," he said. "All of that. Every day."
Even as her own health began to weaken, Ruth Whitfield still tried to visit her husband each day, taking days off only when she felt too debilitated to make the trip, her son said.
After suffering "a very difficult childhood," when she became a mother, Ruth Whitfield "was all about family," Garnell Whitfield said.
"And she rose above it, and she raised us in spite of all of that, being very poor," he said. "She raised us to be productive men and women."
Roberta Drury, 32
Roberta Drury, one of the victims of the shooting at a Tops supermarket in Buffalo, NY, is seen in an undated family photo, May 15, 2022.
Roberta Drury, a regular at Tops, was a "vibrant and outgoing" woman who could "talk to anyone," her sister, Amanda Drury, told ABC News on Sunday.
Roberta Drury was born in Cicero, New York, about 150 miles east of Buffalo, and moved to the city in 2010 after her oldest brother, Christopher Drury, received a bone marrow transplant there to treat his leukemia.

She helped him run his restaurant, The Dalmatia, and care for his family, Amanda Drury said.
"She was always willing to help and laugh," Amanda said over text.
Aaron Salter, 55
Buffalo police officer Aaron Salter, Jr., who died shooting in the May 14 Buffalo, NY, is seen in an undated photo obtained on May 15, 2022.
Aaron Salter, a retired Buffalo Police officer, was killed after he confronted the gunman, who entered the store wearing military fatigues, body armor and a tactical helmet.
Salter was working as a security guard and shot the assailant, Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph A. Gramaglia told ABC News on Sunday. But the bullets had no effect due to the bulletproof vest the suspect wore, and the gunman returned fire, striking Salter.
Gramaglia described Salter as a "true hero" who undoubtedly saved more lives during the encounter.
"He went down fighting," Gramaglia said. "He came in, he went towards the gunfire. He went towards the fight."
One Tops employee, a mother of seven, told ABC News Sunday that if it hadn't been for Salter, she and her 20-year-old daughter, who was working at the register, would not have known the gunman was headed in their direction.
When she saw Salter pull out his weapon, they knew they had to run, and they both made it out alive, she said.
Salter was a "beloved" employee of Tops, several years after he retired from the police department.
"He took on a responsibility to protect the customers and the employees in the store," Gramaglia said. "And he did exactly what he signed up for."
Heyward Patterson, 67
Heyward Patterson one of the victims of the May 14 shooting at a Tops supermarket in Buffalo, NY, is seen in an undated family photo, May 15, 2022.
Deacon Heyward Patterson was shot while inside his truck in the parking lot of the supermarket, Pastor James Giles told ABC Buffalo affiliate WKBW.
Patterson's family described him to the station as a loving person. He leaves behind a wife and daughter.
Pearl Young, 77
Pearl Young, 77, died in the Buffalo, New York, mass shooting on Saturday, May 14, 2022.
Pearl Young, an Alabama native, spent the final years of her life teaching children as a substitute teacher in the Buffalo School District and was heavily involved in her church community, her sister, Mary Craig, told ABC News.
"She loved her students, and they loved her back," a statement from her family read.
Craig described Young as "such a beautiful, sweet woman."
"We're all in shock and disbelief," she said of the family.
Young leaves behind two sons and a daughter, Craig said.
Young was described in the statement as a missionary who would be "truly missed."
"Missionary Pearl Young was a worshipper and loved God. She loved her children, her family, and her Good-Samaritan COGIC church family," the statement read. "She was a true pillar in the community."
Geraldine Talley, 62
Geraldine Talley (right), 62, was killed in a mass shooting at a Buffalo, New York, grocery story on Saturday, May 14, 2022.
In her final moments, Geraldine Talley, who'd come to Tops Family Market Saturday afternoon for a few items, sent her fiancée down an aisle to retrieve something off a shelf.
Before they could reunite, an armed suspect entered the supermarket and opened fire. Her fiancée survived the massacre.
Talley's last moments were described to ABC News by Kaye Chapman-Johnson, her younger sister, who was not at the store with the couple.
"I am so angry, just devastated. This is so hard for our family right now," she said in an off-camera interview. "Our sister, we had so many plans together, so many plans, and everything has just been stripped away from us.
"Our lives will definitely never be the same again."
Two years older, Talley, 62, was Chapman-Johnson's "best friend," her sister said. "We talked every day."
Talley was one of nine siblings and was "an amazing sister, mother, aunt," said Chapman-Johnson. "She just was truly an amazing woman. And I'm going to miss her dearly."
Talley's death has left her family "destroyed," added her sister. "I'm hoping that we can all move on."
Celestine Chaney, 65
Geraldine Talley (right), 62, was killed in a mass shooting at a Buffalo, New York, grocery story on Saturday, May 14, 2022.
Celestine Chaney, 65, of Buffalo, was a mother and grandmother of six, The Buffalo News reported.
She was shopping with her older sister, JoAnn Daniels, when she was shot, according to the newspaper.
"She was a breast cancer survivor and she survived aneurysms in her brain, and then she goes to Tops and gets shot," her sister told The Buffalo News.
Chaney's son, Wayne Jones, told the newspaper, "If people's moms are still around, just don't be too caught up in social media and the world to pick up the phone and talk to your mom or your dad."
Katherine Massey, 72, of Buffalo
Katherine "Kat" Massey was a civil rights activist who worked tirelessly to improve Buffalo's Black community, The Buffalo News reported.
The Buffalo News said Massey wrote for local publications the Buffalo Challenger and Buffalo Criterion, and that she often wrote letters to The Buffalo News.
"She was unapologetic about making sure our community was not ignored," Massey's friend, former Erie County Legislator Betty Jean Grant, told the The Buffalo News. "We lost a powerful, powerful voice."

(AP) — The wait for news has been agonizing for families from Mexico to Honduras whose relatives were being smuggled through south Texas this week.
Now they hope for what before would have been dreaded — capture by the Border Patrol, even hospitalization — anything but confirmation that their loved ones were among the 53 migrants who died inside a sweltering trailer in Texas. Then again, at least they would know. For now parents re-read last messages, swipe through photos, wait for a phone call and pray. | 2022-07-03T02:09:41+00:00 | kurv.com | https://www.kurv.com/in-a-small-village-prayers-and-hope-for-missing-migrants/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=in-a-small-village-prayers-and-hope-for-missing-migrants |

NEW YORK (AP) — Salman Rushdie’s agent says the author has lost sight in one eye and the use of a hand as he recovers from an attack from a man who rushed the stage at an August literary event in western New York, according to a published report.
Literary agent Andrew Wylie told the Spanish language newspaper El Pais in an article published Saturday that Rushdie suffered three serious wounds to his neck and 15 more wounds to his chest and torso in the attack that took away sight in an eye and left a hand incapacitated.
Rushdie, 75, spent years in hiding after Iran’s Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a 1989 edict, a fatwa, calling for his death after publication of his novel “The Satanic Verses,” which some Muslims consider blasphemous. Over the past two decades, Rushdie has traveled freely.
Hadi Matar, 24, of Fairview, New Jersey, has been incarcerated after pleading not guilty to attempted murder and assault in the Aug. 12 attack on Rushdie as he was being introduced at the Chautauqua Institution, a rurally located center 55 miles (89 kilometers) southwest of Buffalo that is known for its summertime lecture series.
After the attack, Rushdie was treated at a Pennsylvania hospital, where he was briefly put on a ventilator to recover from what Wylie told El Pais was a “brutal attack” that cut nerves to one arm.
Wylie told the newspaper he could not say whether Rushdie remained in a hospital or discuss his whereabouts.
“He’s going to live ... That’s the important thing,” Wylie said.
The attack was along the lines of what Rushie and his agent have thought was the “principal danger ... a random person coming out of nowhere and attacking,” Wylie told El Pais.
“So you can’t protect against it because it’s totally unexpected and illogical,” he said.
Wylie told the newspaper it was like Beatles member John Lennon’s murder. Lennon was shot to death by Mark David Chapman outside his Manhattan apartment building Dec. 8, 1980, hours after the singer had signed an autograph for Chapman.
In a jailhouse interview with The New York Post, Matar said he disliked Rushdie and praised Khomeini. Iran has denied involvement in the attack.

An earlier version of this report had an incorrect spelling of Salman Rushdie’s first name.

MUNCIE, Ind. — A Muncie woman is accused of letting loose an aggressive dog that attacked two people outside her rural home last week.
Braquelle Lynn Rutherford, 22, was arrested on Friday by the Delaware County Sheriff’s Department on charges of criminal recklessness and battery. She’s being held in jail on a $15,000 bond.
According to court documents, one of the two victims accused Rutherford of purposely siccing an aggressive dog on the pair due to Rutherford being upset with them for trying to talk her into going to rehab for a drug problem on May 25.
The victim told police that Rutherford told the duo to leave or her dog “was going to maul them.” The victim told police she and the second victim, Rutherford’s mother, were outside when Rutherford opened the door while holding the aggressive dog by the collar.
The victim claimed Rutherford let go of the collar and that the dog then attacked both women.
According to deputies, one of the victims was covered in blood and bleeding heavily from the head as a result of the dog attack. The woman also had blood on her thigh and hand from the dog bites.
Rutherford told police she didn’t let the dog loose on purpose but did warn the two women to leave because she was letting out her dog and it was aggressive.
According to court documents, Rutherford told police she let the aggressive dog out of the cage “to prevent them from coming back into her home” but said the dog “busted out the door and attacked them.”
Rutherford claimed she did not let the dog out with intentions to harm anyone, however.
A witness told police the two women were outside on Rutherford’s lawn when “all of the sudden” Rutherford and the dog burst from the front door. Rutherford reportedly shouted at the two to get to the car, but the dog rushed forward and attacked the women.
The witness said Rutherford tried to get the dog off of the victims and was bitten as well by the animal.
Rutherford told police she had adopted the dog from an Indianapolis rescue and had been trying to train it, but knew the animal was aggressive. | 2023-05-31T19:01:44+00:00 | cbs4indy.com | https://cbs4indy.com/news/indycrime/muncie-woman-accused-of-letting-loose-aggressive-dog-that-attacked-2-women/ |

A local restaurant is being sued over claims it overserved alcohol to a Valley man who later crashed his car and drowned in a canal. The family of 30-year-old Jesus Angel Romo is alleging Buffalo Wings and Rings in Weslaco continued to serve Romo drinks even after he had become “obviously intoxicated.” The lawsuit was first reported by the McAllen Monitor.
Romo had been at the sports bar Monday evening January 16th. He was reported missing the next day. On Wednesday, his vehicle was found in a ditch just north of Donna.
Authorities searching the area then found Romo’s body in some water a short distance away. His family’s lawsuit names the Buffalo Wings and Rings franchisee in Weslaco as well as Cincinnati-based BWR. If the company and the restaurant are found liable, they could be fined and the restaurant could lose its liquor license. | 2023-02-07T18:51:10+00:00 | kurv.com | https://www.kurv.com/local-restaurant-sued-over-mans-apparent-alcohol-related-death/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=local-restaurant-sued-over-mans-apparent-alcohol-related-death |

Advertisers benefit from both Sharethrough's ad enhancement technology, as well as Adelaide's attention metrics
MONTREAL, March 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Sharethrough, one of the top global independent omnichannel ad exchanges, and Adelaide, a leader in attention-based media quality measurement, announced a partnership to offer attention-based curated inventory. This initiative further demonstrates Sharethrough's focus on improving the attentive quality of all ads through research, enhancements, and technology integrations. Thanks to the partnership, Adelaide will be able to measure millions of impressions across Sharethrough's inventory and generate an AU (Attention Unit) rating for each placement. Adelaide's AU is a precise measure of a placement's likelihood of driving attention and impact. The offering will be available to all Sharethrough customers through high-AU PMPs (private marketplace), enabling them to easily secure high-quality, attentive media.
Attention is key for advertisers, but it has long been a challenge for the industry. In fact, according to data from Sharethrough, 76% of viewers do not pay active attention to ads. In teaming up with Adelaide, Sharethrough aims to provide even more value to the attention enhancing tools that the company currently offers.
Through this curated inventory, advertisers get the best of both worlds. They will benefit from Sharethrough's ad enhancement technology, which improves attention by supplementing ad creative with features such as dynamic captions for digital video or CTV enhancements, including dynamic QR codes, sports tickers, and countdowns. They will also benefit from targeting high-AU media. Adelaide's AU is generated by a machine learning algorithm tuned to proxy outcomes from brand lift to sales. High-AU PMPs allow advertisers to secure inventory with a greater probability of capturing attention and driving results.
"Over the years, Sharethrough has built research-backed products built to improve attention and comprehension while respecting the user experience," said JF Cote, CEO of Sharethrough. "Through this partnership with Adelaide, we'll deliver an ad experience that is overall more enjoyable for the consumer, but also helps advertisers reach their attention goals."
"We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Sharethrough to curate high-attention marketplaces. By using Adelaide's attention data, Sharethrough is empowering publishers to monetize their content more effectively and enabling advertisers to buy higher-quality placements with greater precision," said Marc Guldimann, CEO of Adelaide. "This is a significant step toward creating a more transparent and fair advertising ecosystem, where attention is the new currency."
This partnership comes on the heels of the launch of Sharethrough's CTV ad enhancements, designed to address the ongoing attention challenge by providing viewers with information they would otherwise get on their phones within the ad itself.
Sharethrough is one of the largest global ad exchanges by scale with over 40 billion daily display, video and native impression requests, with integrations on mobile, desktop and Connected TV.

Which chaise lounge cushion is best?
A chaise lounge is a long reclining chair that may have arms and be upholstered. It is the Americanized version of the classic French chaise longue, invented by furniture makers so the wealthy would have a place to rest without having to retire to their bedrooms.
These days, chaise lounges made for indoor use tend to be upholstered, and those made to be used outdoors are not. Outdoors, the choice of many is to add cushions to make it a more comfortable place to relax. If you are looking for a comfy cushion that rolls up so you can take it to the beach, check out the Classic Accessories Storigami Water-Resistant Chaise Lounge Cushion.
What to know before you buy a chaise lounge cushion
Whether you’re relaxing poolside, on the patio or under a tree, a chaise lounge is a great place to stretch out your legs and fully recline. Outdoor chaise lounges are generally made of wood, metal or plastics durable enough to stand up to sun, rain and the elements. You can make your chaise more comfortable by adding a layer of padded cushions built to withstand the elements as well as your lounge chair does.
Made for outdoor use
Cushions for outdoor chaise lounges need to be able to resist sun, rain, winds and harsh weather.
-
Water-resistant cushions are a must unless you plan on taking in your cushions every night or every time it looks like it might rain.
-
Fade-resistant cushions are a good choice if your cushions are exposed to lots of sunlight.
-
Tie-down cushions are good to have if your outdoor area is windy.
Width
- Single seat: Match the width of your cushions with the width of your chaise. Most chaise lounges are about two feet wide. If your chaise has arms, make sure your cushion fits between them.
- Double seat: These lounges made for two to sit side by side are at least twice as wide as single chaises and sometimes even more than that. Double-width cushions are as unwieldy as twin mattresses, so look for a set of two single cushions that fit the dimensions of your lounge chair.
What to look for in a quality chaise lounge cushion
How your chaise hinges
Most outdoor chaise lounges have adjustable backs so you can sit upright for reading or lie flat for a relaxing nap. Look for cushions that are also hinged so they stay in contact with your entire chaise as you adjust the seat back from one position to another.
Attached or loose?
-
Tie-ons: Cushions that attach to your chaise stay in place and won’t blow away.
-
No tie-ons: Cushions that do not attach are easier to move around, flip over, take indoors or put in the car and take to the beach.
Length
Most chaises are 72 to 80 inches long. Cushions that overhang the ends are better than cushions that are too short.
Pillows
As long as you’re getting comfortable, think about adding an outdoor pillow or two to your chaise lounge cushions. Choose pillows to provide support and comfort for your head, neck and lumbar region, and make sure they’re made for outdoor use.
How much you can expect to spend on a chaise lounge cushion
Most full-sized cushions range from $50-$150. Better fabrics, better padding and better construction make the difference.
Chaise lounge cushion FAQ
If I leave them outdoors all the time, won’t all cushions fade?
A. The longer any materials stay out in the sun, the more their colors fade. Better dyes that completely penetrate the fabric last much longer than more inexpensive dyes that color only the fibers’ surface.
Can I buy a machine-washable cushion for outdoors?
A. Most outdoor cushions do not have a removable cover. The padding and the exterior shell are one unit that won’t fit in your washer. The best way to keep outdoor cushions clean is to wipe away dirt and droppings as quickly as possible, using a soft, damp cloth.

Happy happy Wednesday. We have a much cooler day on tap but we are tracking a few showers and storms. Most of the area will see mostly cloudy conditions with a few spotty showers around. The southern part of the viewing area has the best chance to see a few storms this afternoon and some storms could produce a downpour. In areas that do see rain, expect to see temps fall into the 60’s.
As we kick off the fall season, highs will be perfect for a fall day with highs in the mid 60’s. Lows will fall into the upper 40’s .
We are also tracking showers for Friday afternoon into the evening hours so be prepared for a wet Friday night. Temps rebound back into the mid 70’s this weekend with mostly sunny skies. | 2022-09-21T11:24:33+00:00 | ourquadcities.com | https://www.ourquadcities.com/uncategorized/possible-showers-for-the-last-day-of-summer/ |
Mom’s prank to scare toddler twins backfires when they befriend skeleton instead
WESTON, Conn. (Gray News) – A mom in Connecticut tried to scare her twin toddlers with a prop skeleton, but they made a new friend instead.
A video posted on Instagram by mom Cami Boehme shows her twins Ivy and Jack encountering the skeleton dressed in black and gray rags.
Jack can be heard saying, “I wanna hold your hand,” as he grabs hold of his sister.
Ivy, however, walks right up to the skeleton. Jack, nervous, tells her, “Don’t touch, don’t touch.”
Ivy shakes the skeleton’s hand and says, “I meet you,” which her mom notes is Ivy’s way of saying, “Nice to meet you.”
In the video’s caption, Boehme said that she was surprised by her twins’ response.
“I thought they’d peek in, see her and come back to me (I was right outside the door waiting after I told them to go see her). But they went right in and had a whole conversation with her — even shook her hand,” she wrote. “I love that Jack was a little more cautious — even asking to hold Ivy’s hand and warning her not to touch — but Ivy was just no fear [and] treated it like a little social introduction.”
Boehme said her twins “never cease to amaze me.”

Apple
Apple products are expensive, but we’d love to see Prime Day offer discounts on the best ones, including iPhones, iPads, AirPods, Apple Watches and MacBooks.

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Capella Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: CMIL) (OTCQB: CMILF) (FRA: N7D2) ("Capella" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has applied for an Exploration Reservation ("Perho") covering an area of 50 sq km over the Eräjärvi Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum ("LCT") pegmatite field in southern Finland. The Perho Reservation (VA2022:0056 and shown in green in Figure 1) covers the former Seppälä lithium mine and lies adjacent to the former Viitaniemi and Juurakko feldspar-quartz(-lithium) mines, which are reported by the Finnish geological survey ("GTK") to have ceased production in 1965 and 1935, respectively. Significantly, more than 70 pegmatite dykes, enriched in B, Be, Li, Nb, Sn and Ta, are reported from the area (Eilu 2012, Lahti 1981, Aviola 2004). Little modern systematic exploration for lithium deposits has been undertaken in the area.
The new Perho Reservation has been applied for by local subsidiary Cullen Finland Oy, which is currently owned 70:30 by Capella and ASX-listed Cullen Resources Ltd (ASX: CUL). Cullen Finland Oy is also owner of the Katajavaara-Aaeknus gold-copper project in the highly-prospective Central Lapland Greenstone Belt.
Figure 1. Perho reservation over the Eräjärvi LCT pegmatite field.
Eric Roth, Capella's President and CEO, commented: "The application for the Perho Reservation over the Eräjärvi lithium pegmatite field has the potential to provide Capella with further exposure to the metals required for Europe's green energy transition and energy storage. LCT pegmatites are important global sources of lithium, cesium, and tantalum as well as other by-products. In conjunction with our high-grade copper-cobalt assets in Norway, the Company is well placed to participate in the global electrification and decarbonization process. I look forward to keeping the market updated on progress at Perho".
The technical information in this news release relating to the Perho lithium project has been prepared in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements set out in NI 43-101, and approved by Eric Roth, the Company's President & CEO, a Director, and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101. Mr. Roth holds a Ph.D. in Economic Geology from the University of Western Australia, is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM) and is a Fellow of the Society of Economic Geologists (SEG). Mr. Roth has 30 years of experience in international minerals exploration and mining project evaluation.

President & CEO
Capella is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of quality mineral resource properties in favourable jurisdictions with a focus on high-grade copper(-zinc-cobalt) and gold deposits. With respect to base and battery metals projects, the Company's current focus is on i) advancing its recently-acquired Hessjøgruva project and the adjacent Kongensgruve and Kjøli projects in the northern Røros copper mining district of central Norway, as well as ii) the discovery of further high-grade VMS-type deposits in a district-scale land position around the past-producing Løkken (Løkken Verk District) copper mine. The recent Perho reservation application over the Eräjärvi pegmatite field is ultimately expected to provide the Company with further exposure to battery metals, including lithium, cesium, and tantalum.
The Company's precious metals focus is on the discovery of high-grade gold deposits on the Katajavaara-Aakenus JV in Finland, its active Canadian Joint Ventures with Prospector Metals Corp (TSXV: PPP) at Savant (Ontario) and Yamana Gold Inc. at Domain (Manitoba), and its 100%-owned Southern Gold Line Project in Sweden.

Darius Slay was never officially released by the Philadelphia Eagles on Wednesday, and a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that the Pro Bowl cornerback is "expected to stay with the Eagles. It's not final, but that's the way it is looking right now."
On Wednesday night, Slay indicated in a tweet that he would be returning.
Back like I never left!!! Run it back 🦅
— Darius Slay (@bigplay24slay) March 16, 2023
Slay, who turned 32 in January, is entering the final year of his three-year, $50 million deal. He was slated to make a base salary of $17 million in 2023 with a cap hit of over $26 million, per Spotrac.
The Eagles acquired Slay from the Detroit Lions in 2020 in exchange for a third- and a fifth-round pick. He has made the Pro Bowl each of the past two years and had three interceptions and 14 passes defended this past season.
He was a key part of a defense that led the league in pass defense (179.8 yards per game), helping Philadelphia to a 14-3 regular season mark en route to an appearance in Super Bowl LVII.
A five-time Pro Bowl selection, Slay has 26 interceptions, 133 passes defended and 533 tackles in his career.

EXPLAINER: What will it take to get Brittney Griner home?
Now that WNBA star Brittney Griner has been convicted of drug possession and sentenced to nine years in prison, attention turns to the prospect of a prisoner swap between the United States and Russia that could get her home.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken went public with that possibility last week, revealing in an unusual announcement that the U.S. had made a "substantial proposal" aimed at securing the release of Griner and another jailed American, Paul Whelan.
With her court case concluded and her sentence pronounced, such a deal — assuming one can be reached with the Russians — is Griner's best chance of being freed early.
Though the guilty verdict was seen as a foregone conclusion, the imposition of a sentence her lawyers decried as far longer than average could give the U.S. extra impetus to strike a deal palatable to Russia as soon as possible. And the formal end of the court case could be the opening both sides need to forge a diplomatic resolution, too.
A look at what's at stake:
What did the U.S. offer?
Blinken did not specify the terms other than to describe the offer as substantial and something that he intended to discuss with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
A person familiar with the situation said that the U.S. offered to release Viktor Bout, a convicted Russian arms dealer serving a 25-year prison sentence on charges that he conspired to sell tens of millions of dollars in weapons to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia — an organization classified by Washington as a narco-terrorist group.
The officials did wind up speaking by phone last Friday, the highest-level known contact between the two sides since Russia invaded Ukraine. The two are also in Cambodia for meetings involving foreign ministers of Southeast Asian countries.
What has been the Russian response?
Minimal, at least in public. Blinken did not provide details after his call with Lavrov about his response. The Russians, for their part, gave no hint about their interest in the offer, other than a statement chiding the U.S. to pursue the Americans' freedom through "quiet diplomacy, without releases of speculative information."
On Monday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the Russian government had responded in a "bad faith" manner with an offer that U.S. officials did not regard as serious. She did not elaborate, though CNN reported last week that the Kremlin also wanted the release a former colonel from one of its spy agencies who was convicted of murder in Germany last year.
Would there be a precedent for a prisoner swap?
In many ways, yes — and a recent one too. In April, Russia traded Marine veteran Trevor Reed, convicted of a physical altercation with police in Moscow, for Konstantin Yarosheknko, a Russian pilot imprisoned for a cocaine trafficking conspiracy.
But that involved a Russian with far less notoriety than Bout, a former Soviet air force officer who once inspired a Hollywood movie and who earned the nickname the "Merchant of Death" over allegations that he supplied weapons used for civil wars in countries around the globe. He has adamantly maintained his innocence.
And there's not much recent precedent, at least by the U.S. government, for public discussions of prisoner swaps until after the deal is done and planes are in the air. That's what made Blinken's announcement from the State Department briefing room all the more striking.
On one hand, it seemed intended to communicate to the American public that the administration will do whatever it needs to do to bring home wrongfully detained Americans.
But such a public overture also risks weakening the administration's negotiating hand to the extent it makes the U.S. look overly desperate for a deal, or that it signals to other countries that it is willing to meet potentially unreasonable demands.
So will the deal take place?
It's hard to say, but the contact between Blinken and Lavrov does suggest more progress than has ever been made before and reinforces the idea that the two countries are willing to maintain communication at a time of extraordinary tensions related to Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
Griner is the most prominent American detained by a foreign country. She is a two-time Olympic gold medalist detained since February when police said they found vape cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage at an airport in Moscow.
And though some Republicans including former President Donald Trump have come out against a deal, the conviction and sentence will only ramp up pressure on the administration to reach an agreement that can get her out soon.
"Today's sentencing of Brittney Griner was severe by Russian legal standards and goes to prove what we have known all along, that Brittney is being used as a political pawn," tweeted Lindsay Kagawa Colas, Griner's agent.
She said getting a deal done for Griner and Whelan, a Michigan corporate security executive imprisoned on an espionage conviction he and his family says is baseless, may be difficult but it is "urgent" and the "right thing to do." The U.S. government also regards Whelan as wrongfully convicted. It seems unlikely the administration would agree to a swap that didn't also include him.
For their part, Russian authorities have suggested that they regarded a conviction as basically a prerequisite for a prisoner swap.
On Thursday, President Joe Biden again urged Russia to release Griner immediately.
"My administration will continue to work tirelessly and pursue every possible avenue to bring Brittney and Paul Whelan home safely as soon as possible," he said in a statement. | 2022-08-05T19:17:30+00:00 | wisn.com | https://www.wisn.com/article/what-will-it-take-get-brittney-griner-home/40811170 |

The chasm historically separating the baseball talent between Santa Fe and Albuquerque appears to be shrinking.
Starting this week, a group of 11- and 12-year-olds aims to prove just how close the sides have gotten in recent years.
On Saturday at Ragle Park, the Santa Fe Little League All-Stars hammered visiting Los Alamos, 16-2, in the championship game of the District 1 Tournament. It sends Santa Fe into the Majors Baseball State Tournament for the second straight year.
The boys in blue will open play this Friday against eight other district champs in Albuquerque, looking to win a state title that brings bragging rights to whichever team goes into the next round of competition. The state champ heads to regionals in Waco, Texas. The winner there represents the U.S. Southwest in the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa., in August.
With that final step would come national recognition, local immortality and — let’s face it — something a whole lot cooler than anyone could possibly predict.
“It’s all about wanting it, and this team works together; they all have the need to win,” said SFLL’s Maximus Marquez. “We play next week. I think we’ll do good.”
Marquez started on the mound in Saturday’s game, tossing one scoreless inning while going 4-for-4 at the plate. Santa Fe never trailed after Marquez scored the game’s first run in the top of the first.
After Los Alamos cut Santa Fe’s lead to 4-2 after two frames, Santa Fe left-hander Finnegan Evans took over. He worked three perfect innings, striking out seven of the nine batters he faced while his teammates scored six runs in each of the fourth and fifth innings.
Evans ended it with consecutive strikeouts to end the fifth to send Santa Fe onto state.
While the odds of reaching the sport national’s penthouse are considerably long, Santa Fe’s climb to the top of New Mexico’s mountain is getting more realistic with every step. SFLL more than doubled in size this summer, mushrooming to over 800 players as it moved its base of operations to Ragle.
“The gap [is] shrinking,” said Santa Fe Little League board member Javier Vigil. “The league is as healthy as it ever has been, and the kids — the talent level of the kids for softball and baseball — it’s getting so much better. Kids are starting to see that we can compete with the teams [in Albuquerque].”
One man with perspective is Francisco Guerra, the outgoing administrator for District 1. For two decades, he has served as the head of the Santa Fe-area baseball and softball leagues. He’s served nearly 40 years in some capacity as a coach, board member or administrator.
Holding back the emotion as he spoke following a postgame ceremony to honor his work, Guerra said the challenges Little League has faced over the last decade or so had some people rightfully questioning its long-term viability. The rapid emergence of club ball and rival leagues siphoned significant numbers away from Little League.
Toss in the year-long hiatus caused by COVID-19 and the contraction of Santa Fe’s three separate leagues into one, and there were times it seemed as if Little League was going the way of the dinosaur.
“To see it recovering brings me such joy,” he said, pausing to look over at the Santa Fe players as they posed for photos. “It’s the smiles on the kids’ faces that I’ll remember most. The coaches, the parents, the umpires — they’re all part of this, but it’s really about the children. We’ve given them a safe place to have fun and enjoy playing the game, so if you’re asking me what my favorite memory will be, that’s it. Just the smiles.”
There were plenty of those during Saturday’s game. SFLL mashed 20 hits against two Los Alamos pitchers over five innings. Abel Fresques, Victor Corral and Julian Rodriguez (flashy red, silver and blue metallic helmet and all) each had three hits.
Not to be overlooked was diminutive No. 8 hitter Bode Mack — the fashion king with his knee-high pants that showed off striped blue stirrups with red sanitaries underneath — who had a pair of hits that included the classic Little League “home run” that started as an infield single and ended with him crossing the plate seconds later with the game’s final run.
Coach Luke Cordova wrapped up a postgame chat with his club by talking about what’s coming up next week, reminding them Saturday’s win was just one part of the journey that is bringing a measure of respect back to Santa Fe’s baseball community one game at a time.
“We had three weeks to put this team together and build what we have,” he said. “I like what we’ve got. There isn’t a weak bat in our lineup, and these kids, a lot of them have plenty of baseball experience this summer. It’s been fun and next week, we’ll be ready.”
Notes
Game details: Santa Fe batted around in consecutive innings, sending 11 batters to the plate in the six-run fourth and 10 to the dish in the six-run fifth. They had a combined 15 hits in the two frames.
At one point Evans, who also played on last year’s state-bound All-Star team, fanned five straight batters after Los Alamos scored its only two runs in the bottom of the second. Santa Fe’s pitchers retired the final 10 batters they faced, ending any suspense.
Field(s) of Dreams: Vigil said SFLL’s move to Ragle Park is just the start of a baseball and softball resurgence in Santa Fe.
He said there’s a $3 million plan in place to completely refurbish the entire park. The vision is to have four fields completely turfed within the next two to three years, a plan that would transform Ragle into one of the state’s premier destination spots for youth baseball and softball.
“Imagine Santa Fe having a regional tournament here,” he said. “It’s time for this city to have something nice, something we can all be excited about.”
Team updates: Santa Fe Little League softball had a good Saturday, with three teams winning games to continue their progress through their respective state tournaments.
The 8-10 team beat Albuquerque’s South Valley Little League, 14-12, in its opening game Saturday morning in Carlsbad. It will play Silver City at 8 a.m. Sunday in the tournament’s second round. In the Juniors division, Santa Fe beat Deming, 8-3, while its Intermediate division team beat Clovis 14-4.
Friday night, Santa Fe Little League’s Majors softball team beat Taos 14-1 in the opening round. | 2022-07-10T07:31:09+00:00 | santafenewmexican.com | https://www.santafenewmexican.com/sports/santa-fe-state-tournament-berth-shows-little-leagues-growth-in-city/article_e00700ce-ffd3-11ec-8a77-77aa7931f280.html |
Veteran defenseman Erik Johnson is signing with the Buffalo Sabres on a one-year deal, sources told ESPN.
The deal is for $3.25 million, per sources, and includes a $1.25 million signing bonus. The Colorado Avalanche decided no to re-sign Johnson, who was their longest-tenured player and helped them win a Stanley Cup in 2022.
Johnson was grateful to spend 15 years with one team, but looked forward for a new opportunity and wanted to stay on a competitive team where he had a chance to win again.
A rugged, 6-foot-4, 225-pound veteran defenseman, Johnson, 35, returned from his Stanley Cup-winning season with the Avalanche to play 63 games in the final year of his deal.
Johnson finished with just eight assists, but still managed 17:15 time on the ice, as the Avalanche battled injuries on the blue line all season. Johnson posted a rare goal in the postseason, scoring against the Seattle Kraken in Round 1, but Colorado's title defense ended there, via a seven-game loss to the second-year club.
The end of Johnson's deal meant an awful lot of salary-cap relief for Colorado. It was a seven-year contract that carried a $6 million average-annual value, and the defenseman figured to net significantly less on this summer's open market.
With available defensemen are at a premium this year, Johnson was expected to draw interest as an even-strength third-liner who was a first-round pick of the St. Louis Blues back in 2006. | 2023-07-01T17:29:22+00:00 | espn.com | https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/37944833/sources-sabres-sign-erik-johnson-1-year-325m-deal |
An attorney representing two parents who sued conspiracy theorist Alex Jones over his false claims about the Sandy Hook massacre said Thursday that the U.S. House Jan. 6 committee has requested two years' worth of records from Jones' phone.
Attorney Mark Bankston said in court that the committee investigating the attack on the U.S. Capitol has requested the digital records.
The House committee did not immediately return a request for comment.
A day earlier, Bankston revealed in court that Jones' attorney had mistakenly sent Bankston the last two years’ worth of texts from Jones’ cellphone.
Jones' attorney Andino Reynal sought a mistrial over the mistaken transfer of records and said they should have been returned and any copies destroyed. That request was denied.
He accused Bankston of trying to perform “for a national audience.” Reynal said the material included a review copy of text messages over six months from late 2019 into the first quarter of 2020.
Attorneys for the Sandy Hook parents said they followed Texas' civil rules of evidence and that Jones’ attorneys missed their chance to properly request the return of the records.
"Mr. Reynal is using a fig leaf (to cover) for his own malpractice,” Bankston said.
Rolling Stone, quoting unnamed sources, reported Wednesday evening that the Jan. 6 committee was preparing to request the data from the parents’ attorneys to assist in the investigation of the deadly riot.
A jury in Austin, Texas, is deciding how much Jones should pay to the parents of a child killed in the 2012 school massacre because of Infowars' repeated false claims that the shooting was a hoax.
Last month, the House Jan. 6 committee showed graphic and violent text messages and played videos of right-wing figures, including Jones, and others vowing that Jan. 6 would be the day they would fight for President Donald Trump. | 2022-08-04T16:42:31+00:00 | wsfltv.com | https://www.wsfltv.com/news/national/alex-jones-attorney-asks-for-mistrial-after-texts-mistakenly-sent |
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The Netherlands is moving to stop central government employees having apps including popular video sharing service TikTok installed on their work phones, amid concerns over data security.
Countries including the United States and Britain, as well as the European Union ‘s executive branch, have banned the use of TikTok on government staff phones over fears that its Chinese owner, ByteDance, could share user data with the authoritarian government in Beijing.
“For civil servants employed by the national government, it is immediately discouraged to have apps from countries with an offensive cyber program against the Netherlands and/or Dutch interests installed and used on their mobile work devices,” the government said in a statement Tuesday that did not identify TikTok by name. The new policy came after lawmakers asked whether it was possible to ban central government staff from using the app on work devices.
The advice follows an assessment by national intelligence agency AIVD that warned that apps from such countries — which include China, Russia, North Korea and Iran — “carry a heightened risk of espionage.”
A law China implemented in 2017 requires companies to give the government any personal data relevant to the country’s national security. There’s no evidence that TikTok has turned over such data, but fears abound due to the vast amount of user data it collects.
Alexandra van Huffelen, the Dutch minister for digitalization, said in a statement that the new policy “goes beyond discouraging one application. We opt for a structural solution that central government officials can trust in their work in a digital world.”
The government said it is planning to move quickly to set up all mobile devices given to central government staff “in such a way that only pre-permitted apps, software and/or functionalities can be installed and used.”
The decision comes two weeks after the Dutch government angered Beijing by announcing that it is planning on imposing additional restrictions on the export of machines that make advanced processor chips, joining a U.S. push that aims at limiting China’s access to materials used to make such chips. | 2023-03-21T23:38:09+00:00 | everythinglubbock.com | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/technology-tuesday/ap-technology/dutch-govt-staff-discouraged-from-apps-such-as-tiktok/ |

PHOENIX (AP) — Spencer Dinwiddie scored a season-high 36 points, Dorian Finney-Smith added 18 points and 12 rebounds, and the Dallas Mavericks beat the Phoenix Suns 99-95 on Thursday night despite losing All-Star guard Luka Doncic to a sprained ankle early in the game.
Dinwiddie's hot shooting helped the Mavs thrive without Doncic, who limped to the locker room early in the first quarter and didn't return. The veteran guard shot 10 of 18 from the field, including 5 of 6 on 3-pointers. He also made 11 free throws.
The Mavs led the entire second half but Suns guard Chris Paul made a layup with 19.7 seconds left to cut the deficit to 96-95. The Mavs were able to close it out by making their free throws in the final seconds.
Dinwiddie made tough shots all night, including a long 3-pointer with a few seconds left in the third quarter to give the Mavs a 76-69 lead going into the fourth. He banked in another 3 with 3:32 left that put them up 95-86.
Cam Johnson and Paul led the Suns with 22 points apiece. Deandre Ayton scored 19 points and grabbed 20 rebounds, but made just 6 of 20 shots. Paul added 10 assists.
The Mavs pushed to a 54-48 halftime lead. Dinwiddie led all scorers with 20 points before the break while Johnson had 13 for the Suns.
The Mavericks snapped a six-game losing streak against the Suns in the regular season, though they beat Phoenix in the Western Conference semifinals in seven games in last year's playoffs.
Phoenix had its four-game winning streak snapped.
DONCIC HURT
Doncic played just three minutes before limping to the locker room during a timeout. The 23-year-old, who was voted an All-Star for the fourth straight season earlier Thursday, came into the game averaging 33.8 points, 9.1 rebounds and 8.6 assists.
He was trying to make a move close to the basket against Johnson, but stepped on Mikal Bridges’ foot before passing the ball and limping away. Dallas coach Jason Kidd called for a timeout and the 6-foot-7 guard slowly made his way to the locker room.
TIP-INS
Mavericks: F Maxi Kleber (hamstring) and F Christian Wood (thumb) were out.
Suns: Guards Devin Booker (groin), Cameron Payne (foot) and Landry Shamet (foot) were out. ... Hosted their 52nd straight sellout. ... Coach Monty Williams used 13 players.
UP NEXT
Mavericks: Travel to Utah on Saturday.
Suns: Travel to San Antonio on Saturday.

Study reveals key findings on workforce mobility from more than 2,100 frontline employees
CHICAGO, July 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Cara Collective, a leader in poverty alleviation, is proud to announce the release of a national study on upward mobility for frontline employees: Bridging the Advancement Gap: What Frontline Employees Want—and What Employers Think They Want. The study was led by Cara Collective's expansion arm, Cara Plus, thanks to analysis from McKinsey & Company and with support from Walmart.
Bridging the Advancement Gap is one of the largest national studies on frontline worker upward mobility. More than 2,100 frontline employees and 300 employers of various sizes, industries, and geographies were surveyed around topics including what frontline workers care most and least about with career advancement, employer misconceptions around opportunities for mobility, and how the COVID pandemic impacted frontline worker priorities, among others.
Key findings include insights on the priorities of frontline worker advancement such as opportunity for growth and better alignment of pay and skills. The study also shows stark differences between what resources frontline employees believe are available versus what their employers report, while also offering strategic, concrete actions employers can take.
"When we started exploring how to strengthen frontline worker upward mobility, we knew we had to start with frontline workers themselves," said Sara Wasserteil, Managing Director of Expansion & Integration at Cara Collective. "Lifting up their experiences and priorities – and juxtaposing those alongside what employers perceive is happening in the workplace – provides a starting point for how we can close the advancement gap for frontline workers, and strengthen equity when it comes to who does and doesn't advance in the workplace."
In addition to drawing out trends from frontline workers across diverse industries and demographics, the report also uplifts themes from populations that have historically been given limited access to economic opportunity and mobility. This includes employees without a four-year degree, those who have been justice system-involved, and those who have been impacted by homelessness or recovery. The findings will illuminate how employers can better advance into these often-untapped talent pools.
"What we found when we looked at these populations, is that they are highly motivated to advance in their careers, and yet often have fewer opportunities to get ahead," added Wasserteil. "If employers are willing to rethink who they hire and how they invest in them, they can unlock a highly motivated workforce ready to stay and grow in their firms. For example, as evidenced by this study, individuals who have been impacted by the criminal justice system advanced at a greater rate than any other demographic – across race and gender."
The study furthers the work of Cara Plus' inclusive employment portfolio, which helps corporations drive actionable change to hire and cultivate talent that has been historically sidelined from economic opportunity. The work leverages parent-organization Cara Collective's 30-year history connecting untapped talent to more than 13,000 jobs at 70% same-firm, one-year retention rates.
Bridging the Advancement Gap: What Frontline Employees Want—and What Employers Think They Want can be read in its entirety at www.caracollective.org/frontline.
As an entity of Cara Collective, Cara Plus engages companies and nonprofits across the nation to build, launch, and grow workforce solutions so that people experiencing poverty can find and keep quality employment. Since our launch, Cara Plus has worked with more than 20 companies and 50 nonprofits in 24 states to adopt and adapt our methodology and create more inclusive employment pathways around the country. To learn more, please visit www.caraplus.org.
Cara Collective seeks to fuel a courageous national movement to eradicate relational and financial poverty. Through our four entities – Cara, Cleanslate, Cara Connects, and Cara Plus – we engage job seekers, employers, and other organizations across the country to break the cycle of poverty through the power and purpose of employment. Since 1991, we've helped more than 8,000 people get placed into more than 13,000 jobs and get started on their path to real and lasting success. To learn more, please visit www.caracollective.org.

ROMEOVILLE, Ill. (AP) — The man suspected of shooting a police officer in suburban Chicago has been charged with another crime while the shooting is investigated, local police said.
Samer Hernandez, 29, has been charged with armed robbery in connection with a vehicle theft that occurred May 20, Romeoville Deputy Police Chief Brant Hromadka said Thursday night.
Police said Thursday that Romeoville Police Officer Dominic Thielman, 32, was shot while investigating the vehicle theft around 12:15 a.m. earlier that day. He was shot in a shoulder and is listed in stable condition at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, Hromadka said.
Hernandez faces possible shooting charges, pending the completion of an investigation by an outside law enforcement agency, Hromadka said.

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — The “Tiger King”‘ is throwing his hat in the ring for president.
Joseph Maldonado-Passage, better known as “Joe Exotic” or the “Tiger King,” is currently serving a 21-year federal sentence after being convicted on multiple charges. He said he isn’t going to let that stop him from running for the nation’s top office.
Maldonado-Passage launched a new campaign website, with a personal message: “Thank you for your interest in my Campaign. Yes, I know I am in Federal Prison and you might think this is a joke but it’s not. It is my Constitutional right to do this even from here.”
“So put aside that I am gay, that I am in prison for now, that I used drugs in the past, that I had more then one boyfriend at once and that Carole hates my guts. This all has not a thing to do with me being able to be your voice. The best thing you have going for supporting me is that I am used to fighting my whole life just to get by. I am broke, they have taken everything I ever worked for away, and it’s time we take this country back,” he wrote on the campaign site.
In 2018, the former owner of the Greater Wynnewood Animal Park was indicted by a federal grand jury on two counts of murder-for-hire.
Prosecutors say Maldonado-Passage gave a person $3,000 to travel from Oklahoma to Florida to carry out the murder of big cat activist Carole Baskin and “allegedly agreed to pay thousands more after the deed,” said the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Oklahoma.
A grand jury also indicted Maldonado-Passage on an additional 19 counts of wildlife charges, including the violation of the Endangered Species Act and Lacey Act. Prosecutors say he shot and killed five tigers in October 2017 to make room in cages for other big cats and sold tiger cubs to raise money.
He was also accused of falsifying records relating to the tigers, lions and a baby lemur that were purported to be donated or transported for exhibition but were actually sold.
The intended target of the hit was Baskin, a chief critic of Maldonado-Passage. Baskin successfully sued Maldonado-Passage for trademark infringement in 2011 and was outspoken about the treatment of animals at the park.
Maldonado-Passage attempted to have his conviction overturned but lost his appeal in 2022. | 2023-03-15T16:47:06+00:00 | pahomepage.com | https://www.pahomepage.com/news/tiger-king-announces-2024-presidential-bid/ |
In his long career as a U.S. senator, Joe Biden has sat through his share of lengthy speeches.
But sitting in the Oval Office on Tuesday, President Biden seemed a bit out of practice. During a meeting with Mexico's Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Biden at turns smirked, grimaced, fidgeted, and took notes as the Mexican president launched into remarks that went on for more than half an hour.
Some 20 minutes into his remarks, López Obrador said he was getting ready to conclude. Biden broke into a big grin and laughed.
Speaking through an interpreter, the populist leader touched on everything from Franklin D. Roosevelt's migrant policies, to the relative costs of American and Mexican gasoline, to lithium mining, and the need for broader, more predictable migration policies.
Biden made a point to tell his counterpart that he agreed with many of López Obrador's broad points, that "our nations share close ties, family, and friendship." Biden said policy differences between the two were often exaggerated by "overhyped headlines."
Biden also touted cooperation between the two nations on targeting drugs — specifically fentanyl — as well as on tackling the root causes that lead people to migrate from Central and South America to Mexico and the United States
But López Obrador's visit to the White House came immediately on the heels of the Mexican president's boycott of the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles last month. López Obrador refused to attend the U.S.-hosted conference because the Biden administration did not invite authoritarian governments of Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. That decision – and the White House's frantic scramble to reverse it – cast a shadow over much of the summit.
And while not overtly hostile, some of López Obrador's comments to Biden touched on politically embarrassing topics, like the high price of gasoline in the United States.
"While we're waiting for prices or gasoline to go down in the United States," López Obrador said at one point, "we have decided that it was necessary for us to allow Americans who live close to the border ... to go and get their gasoline on the Mexican side at lower prices."
López Obrador's administration recently began subsidizing gasoline prices.
The Mexican president ended his remarks with a call for more, and more formalized, migration policies. "It is indispensable for us to regularize and give certainty to migrants that for years have lived and worked in a very honest manner," he said.
"I know that your adversaries the conservatives are going to be screaming all over the place," López Obrador added, deploying phrasing he often uses to describe critics of his administration. "Even to the heaven they're going to be yelling."
Indeed, Republicans have seized on high numbers of migrants trying to cross the U.S. border as they criticize Biden's policies.
"We need to work closer together," Biden said after López Obrador concluded. "The thrust of what you're saying, I agree with."
The two leaders continued meeting behind closed doors after their 45 minutes in front of reporters.
More diplomacy and meetings await Biden later this week: Late Tuesday, he leaves for a trip to Israel and Saudi Arabia.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — LSU coach Brian Kelly is promoting senior defensive analyst John Jancek to special teams coordinator and outside linebackers coach.
“John is a veteran SEC coordinator who possesses a great deal of knowledge as it relates to the scheme we teach,” Kelly said Tuesday, alluding to Jancek’s previous stints as a defensive coordinator at Georgia and Tennessee. “He’s earned this opportunity.”
Jancek fills the spot vacated by Brian Polian, who is remaining at LSU in a managerial role overseeing the roster and monitoring the transfer portal.
LSU was plagued early last season by a handful of special teams failures, from a critical blocked extra point kick in a season-opening, one-point loss, to several fumbled punt or kick returns.
During three decades of coaching at the college level, Jancek also has been part of Kelly’s staffs at Grand Valley State and Central Michigan.
Jancek said he loves Kelly’s “vision and the way he leads the program.”
In addition to Georgia and Tennessee, Jancek’s coaching career also included stints at Kentucky, Cincinnati, South Florida and Colorado State.
Before reuniting with Kelly in 2022, Jancek was a defensive quality control assistant at Georgia, where he was part of the 2021 national title team.
Jancek grew up in Muskegon, Michigan. He played defensive line at Grand Valley State from 1986-1990.

BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand’s Constitutional Court ruled Friday that Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha can remain in his job and did not violate a constitutional provision limiting him to eight years in office.
Opposition lawmakers had petitioned the court to decide on their contention that Prayuth, who took power as army commander in a 2014 coup, had violated the eight-year limit for prime ministers that was included for the first time in Thailand’s 2017 Constitution.
Prayuth officially became prime minister in a military government in August 2014, and was named prime minister again after a 2019 election. Using 2014 as a starting date, he would have reached his legal limit last month.
He and his supporters argued that the countdown for the term limit should begin when the current constitution came into effect in April 2017, which would allow him to serve until 2025 if he is returned to office after the next general election.
The nine-member court ruled in a 6-3 vote that because the constitution came into effect after Prayuth had already taken power, the term limit did not apply to the time he had previously served, since the constitution did not specify it could be applied retroactively.
The court’s decision had been widely expected, since it has generally ruled in the government’s favor in a series of political cases. The judiciary, especially the Constitutional Court, and the military are strong defenders of the country’s conservative establishment, whose most important pillar they consider to be the monarchy,
Prayuth will still face a political reckoning early next year when Parliament’s four-year term expires and a new election must be called. His popularity ratings are low, with critics saying he has mishandled the economy and botched Thailand’s initial response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2020, tens of thousands of people took to the streets to demand that Prayuth and his Cabinet resign, while also calling for the constitution to be amended and the monarchy to be reformed. Several confrontations between the student-driven protest movement and authorities turned violent. Activists threatened new protests if the court favored Prayuth, raising fears of more unrest.
The protest movement was weakened by COVID-19 restrictions and repression from the government, and only about 30 people answered a call to demonstrate Friday in central Bangkok, shouting insults as they listed to the court’s verdict over a loudspeaker.
Chai-amorn Kaewwiboonpan, a musician and veteran activist also known as Ammy, said the ruling was no surprise.
“I think tomorrow the people will come out on the streets, and hopefully we will have a lot of people,” he said.
Prayuth paid his respects to the court on his Facebook page and thanked those Thais whom he said had given him good wishes and encouragement since the court took up the case.
“It was the opportunity for me to realize that I must spend the government’s limited remaining time to follow up and push several important projects that I have initiated, and complete them for the country’s progress and our children’s future,” he said, highlighting infrastructure development.
Last month, the Constitutional Court temporarily suspended Prayuth from carrying out the prime minister’s duties pending its ruling. The senior deputy prime minister in his Cabinet, Prawit Wongsuwan, became acting prime minister while Prayuth retained his concurrent position of defense minister.
Had Prayuth been forced out Friday, power would have been ceded to a caretaker government with limited executive powers, assembled from the current Cabinet, that would have sat until Parliament elected a new prime minister.
The eight-year term limit was meant to target former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, a populist billionaire who was ousted by a 2006 military coup but whose political machine remains powerful. The army in 2014 also ousted the government of Thaksin’s sister, Yingluck Shinawatra, who was forced from office shortly before the takeover by a controversial court decision.
Thailand’s traditional conservative ruling class, including the military, felt that Thaksin’s popularity posed a threat to the country’s monarchy as well as their own influence. The courts have been stalwart defenders of the established order and ruled consistently against Thaksin and other challengers.

Once they get past affordability, the lack of available homes becomes buyers' biggest challenge this spring
- Buyer activity is down from last year's busy pace, but also is tracking below 2019 levels as elevated mortgage rates and low inventory constrain buyer activity
- New listings are significantly lower than they were prior to the pandemic as sellers hold on tight to attractive mortgage rates
- Both Baltimore and Washington, D.C., metros see slight median home price declines
NORTH BETHESDA, Md., April 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A paradoxical picture is emerging in the Mid-Atlantic region's housing market as spring home buying gets under way, according to the Bright MLS March Housing Report released today. Elevated mortgage rates continue to erode buyers' purchasing power, and low inventory in most markets restrained market activity. On the other side of the coin, homes are still selling fast and about one-third of homes sold over asking price throughout the region last month.
While home sales will continue to ramp up, data points to a relatively subdued spring housing market in the face of economic uncertainty, volatile mortgage rates and limited inventory. Price growth has slowed, but the tightness in supply continues to put pressure on buyers. The market may begin to look more balanced in the second half of 2023, but there will be a lot of variation across local areas.
Showing activity, an indicator of what is to come in the market, is down year-over-year (-27.6%), and pending sales are down 25.4%. Although active listings were 26.9% higher than a year ago, new listings were down 29.4%. There is still just over one month of supply across the Mid-Atlantic market. The median sales price in the region was $368,000 in March, a relatively flat increase of just 0.8%.
"Home sales and showings are lower than a year ago, indicating a slow market, but there is more to the story in the Mid-Atlantic," said Bright MLS Chief Economist Dr. Lisa Sturtevant. "Relatively high mortgage rates and a lack of inventory has cooled what is typically the start of the spring housing market. However, at the same time, interested buyers are still finding the market competitive. Sellers who price their homes realistically are still seeing multiple offers, and homes are selling fast."
Sturtevant added, "Based on this scenario, we are seeing a housing market that is fast paced on a transactional level. At the same time, sellers should still be ready to expect buyers to ask for things like home inspections and closing cost assistance, unheard of during the pandemic market."
Philadelphia metro: Low inventory keeps competition high among smaller buyer pool
Philadelphia home shoppers faced less competition in March than the typical start to the homebuyer season. However, the metro's lack of available homes kept the market competitive, fueling higher home prices and quick sales among a smaller pool of buyers.
The median home price in the region in March rose 5.5% to $324,995, still below the national median home price of $363,000, but nearly 30% higher than three years ago. A typical home in the metro spent 13 days on the market, four days longer than a year ago, but nine days faster than in February.
Pending home sales rose in the Philadelphia metro area for the third consecutive month. However, the 6,396 homes that went under contract in the metro during March was 25.4% lower than a year ago. Showings were up slightly month-over-month, but down nearly 27% year-over-year.
Active listings were up nearly 23.7% year-over-year, while the number of new listings coming onto the market in March was down 25% compared to last year at this time. At the end of March, available inventory was 40% lower than it was four years ago, while new listings were at their lowest level in two decades.
According to Sturtevant, higher home prices and mortgage rates will keep some buyers on the sidelines, making this spring home buying market more subdued than in recent years. At the same time, the lack of available homes for sale will keep the competition high among those looking to close on a home. Although buyers may have more leverage when it comes to negotiating, sellers will continue to have the upper hand unless there is an influx of new listings.
Baltimore metro: Has home price growth reached a tipping point?
Home prices in the Baltimore metro declined in March for the first time since 2018. The metro's median home price fell 1.5% year-over-year to $335,000, marking an end to a 53-month growth streak in which prices appreciated by nearly 30%.
Like the rest of the Mid-Atlantic, the number of available homes for sale across the metro remains limited, with just over one month of supply. However, some markets in the Baltimore metro area experienced a bigger run up on prices during the pandemic housing market, which could explain the slight pullback on home prices in March.
The typical seasonal increase in housing market activity resulted in higher closed sales and showing activity and a decline in days on market compared to February, but the uptick was below the typical start to the spring home buyer market. On a year-over-year basis, closed sales, new pending sales and showings were down 24.8%, 27.9% and 30.6%, respectively.
Homes continue to sell fast in the Baltimore region, spending a median of 10 days on market, an indication that although there are fewer buyers in the market, there is competition for the limited number of homes for sale.
In addition to affordability, a lack of inventory in the Baltimore market limits the number of available choices for buyers. In March, 35% fewer homes were listed for sale compared to a year ago, keeping active listings nearly 60% below 2019 levels.
According to Sturtevant, despite a slight decrease in home prices in March, buyers shouldn't expect to see significant price declines in the coming months. While affordability will limit the number of buyers, there will still be stiff competition due to a lack of homes for sale. Sellers interested in listing their homes will continue to benefit from the home price appreciation they have benefited from in recent years.
Washington metro: More space doesn't garner the same premium as it did during the pandemic
Higher mortgage rates and record-high home prices set the stage for a slower than normal start to the spring home buying market in the D.C. region in March. Home prices are still rising in some local markets across the region, but the median home price fell for the second time in four months, primarily driven by price declines among single-family detached homes. The median home price in the region was $545,000, down 2.0% from a year ago. Despite the price dip, the median price in the Washington, D.C., metro area is still about 14% higher than it was three years ago.
In a sign of a slower market, closed sales, new pending sales and showings were all down nearly 30% from a year ago.
Buyers who remain in the market are finding limited choice, with inventory roughly half (51%) of what it was in March 2019. The number of new listings is still far below what would be seen in a typical spring housing market. Another nod toward the intensity of the market is the pace at which homes are selling. The median days on market was nine days in March, down from 20 in February and 30 in January.
According to Sturtevant, the lack of new listings is countering lower buyer activity and keeping the market competitive for those who are trying to buy in the Washington metro. However, high home prices and rising affordability challenges could be putting a ceiling on home sales transactions this spring. Prices may fall further in the region, but the very limited inventory will keep any declines modest.

Padres’ Tatis Jr. suspended 80 games for violating MLB’s PED policy originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea
San Diego Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. has been suspended 80 games without pay for violating Major League Baseball’s performance-enhancing drug policy, the league announced Friday.
“The Commissioner of Baseball announced today that SD Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. has received an 80-game suspension without pay after testing positive for Clostebol, a PED substance in violation of MLB’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program,” the release said.
The suspension is effective immediately and will keep Tatis sidelined through the beginning of next season. He will be ineligible for the postseason if the Padres maintain their standing.

“We were surprised and extremely disappointed to learn today that Fernando Tatis Jr. tested positive for a performance-enhancing substance in violation of Major League Baseball’s Joint Prevention and Treatment Program and subsequently received an 80-game suspension without pay,” the Padres said in a statement. “We fully support the Program and are hopeful that Fernando will learn from this experience.”
The MLB Players Association also released a statement on behalf of Tatis, where he stated he “inadvertently took a medication to treat ringworm that contained Clostebol.” Tatis later wrote, “After initially appealing the suspension, I have realized that my mistake was the cause of this result, and for that reason, I have decided to start serving my suspension immediately.”
The news comes as a huge blow to the Padres’ title hopes this year. Just a few weeks ago, the Friars acquired Juan Soto in a blockbuster trade with the Washington Nationals to bolster the lineup that also includes six-time All-Star Manny Machado.

RIDGELAND, S.C. (AP) — Just about everyone was in the mood to celebrate except for Rory McIlroy.
It had been eight years since McIlroy played the week before the Masters, so he decided to skip the Match Play and instead go to the Texas Open to get into a competitive mood going into Augusta National.
Instead, he missed the cut by two shots, and that wasn’t the worst of it. For reasons he can’t recall, McIlroy had to wait until the next morning to get home to Florida. He was staying in a massive hotel on site at the TPC San Antonio.
“I guess there was some party on Friday night and I was feeling pretty bad,” McIlroy said. “Got back up to my hotel room and went to order room service and they said it will be a two-and-a-half hour wait. So I basically missed the cut, went to bed on an empty stomach and I was like, ‘Let’s just wake up tomorrow and start again.’”
Moments like that are what made Sunday so sweet. He seized on his opportunity to return to No. 1 in the world by winning the CJ Cup in South Carolina, completing what he refers to as a “journey” that had multiple starting points and stops along the way.
One of them was the Texas Open. It wasn’t the only cut he missed this year, but he was No. 9 in the world and the road back felt just as long as when he was as low as No. 16 only eight months earlier.
“If someone had told me on the Friday night of the Valero Texas Open when I missed the cut that I would be world No. 1 by October, I would have asked them what they were smoking,” McIlroy said. “It’s just been a wild six months.”
The final stop was more significant than he realized.
McIlroy first reached No. 1 in the world by winning the Honda Classic in 2012, back when his curly locks had no hint of a few gray hairs, two years before Tiger Woods had the first of his five back surgeries.
On Saturday, he spoke on the eve of the final round at Congaree, when he had a one-shot lead, about the excitement level of achieving a goal for the first time that he could never get back again. Still, this might be no less special under the circumstances.
The previous seven times McIlroy had returned to No. 1, he had never been outside the top 10 for so long — 15 consecutive weeks last fall.
He was on top of golf at the end of 2019 when he won the FedEx Cup for the second time and ended the year beating Xander Schauffele in Shanghai in the HSBC Champions. He started 2020 with four consecutive top 5s and had a chance to win them all, playing in either the last group or penultimate group in all of them.
And then the COVID-19 pandemic shut down golf for three months, the fans didn’t return for a year and McIlroy struggled to regain his swagger.
He lost the No. 1 ranking to Jon Rahm at the Memorial in July of 2020. He fell as low as No. 16 a year later and the road back looked longer than it really was.
The starting point was the CJ Cup in Las Vegas a year ago, which at least got him back into the top 10 in the world. In 24 events worldwide, he won four times and had 16 finishes in the top 10.
The CJ Cup in South Carolina was his sixth straight top 10.
Chasing No. 1 is difficult enough. Fall out of the top 10 and it can seem even harder, even though it’s a thin line among the top 20 players.
“It’s fractions you’re talking about,” McIlroy said. “Sometimes you can feel further away than you actually are. But again, that’s the great thing about this game. You’re only a couple of weeks away from feeling really good about yourself and getting some good finishes and getting some momentum on your side.
“It didn’t concern me that I dropped out of the top 10 for a couple of weeks last year, but again, being used to the position in the world of golf that I am, it probably made me feel further away than I actually was.”
Since the world ranking began in April 1986, only three other players have been at No. 1 longer than McIlroy — Woods (683 weeks), Greg Norman (331 weeks) and Dustin Johnson (135 weeks). McIlroy begins his 107th week this year, and the way he’s going, it might stay that way for at least the rest of the year.
McIlroy always says staying at No. 1 can be tougher than getting there. He might make an exception this time. From a bad Ryder Cup to his lowest world ranking since turning 21, from not being able to order room service, this felt like a long time coming.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Delegations from Russia and Ukraine are among those meeting in Australia this week to decide the future of Antarctica’s pristine waters.
Conservationists say new marine protected areas and rules to prevent overfishing are desperately needed, but that Russia could use its veto-like powers to once again block progress.
Achieving the required consensus for action among this diverse group of 27, which also includes China, the United States and the European Union, has always been an immense challenge.
And when two of the members are at war — and relations between China and many Western nations have deteriorated — consensus looms as an even bigger obstacle. Just this month, Russian bombing in Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, partially destroyed Ukraine’s Antarctic research center.
Yet despite the enormous political hurdles, some remain hopeful that scientific arguments will win through. The U.S. is paying more attention to the region under President Joe Biden, and this year has sent a relatively high-level delegation led by Monica Medina, an assistant secretary in the State Department.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Medina said Antarctica was “a really fragile, crumbling part of the planet that needs all our help to withstand the challenges we face with climate change.”
The meeting in Hobart in the Australian island state of Tasmania is the first in-person gathering of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resource in three years, after the COVID-19 pandemic kept meetings online.
It comes as New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern makes a rare visit by a world leader to Antarctica, to see firsthand the scientific research taking place and to mark the 65th anniversary of New Zealand’s Scott Base.
The two-week meeting in Hobart began Monday with a mass walkout when the Russian delegates started speaking. Kostiantyn Demianenko, who is leading the Ukrainian delegation, said they were grateful for the international support and that Russia had no right to be at the table.
“A state that kills the civilian population, destroys the air and ground civilian infrastructure of another country and defiantly violates the basic provisions of international law should definitely be limited in its right to participate in the activities of international organizations such as CCAMLR,” he wrote in an email.
Still, he acknowledged, Russia remained a member of the group.
He said that back home, Ukraine was trying to rebuild its National Antarctic Research Center in Kyiv, although ongoing drone attacks made that difficult.
“Cracks in the walls, broken windows, destroyed equipment led to the impossibility to use these facilities for work,” he wrote.
Russia’s delegation did not respond to a request for comment.
Medina said the U.S. backed the walkout because it condemns the war in Ukraine, but it remains hopeful for progress in Hobart.
“Right now, Russia is blocking consensus on adoption of three MPA (marine protected area) proposals, but China is as well,” Medina said. “So we are here trying to work through the issues with both countries. Not one-on-one necessarily, although we will be trying with the People’s Republic of China to work through the issues informally.”
She said Russia had been using what amounts to its veto power to block progress not only in Hobart but at a number of international forums.
“It can block consensus. That is a huge impediment to our ability to move forward on some things here, but other things do go ahead in a sort of ordinary course of business,” Medina said.
Some hope the group could make progress on other agenda items, including new rules on krill fishing and reaching agreement on fishing for valuable Antarctic toothfish, marketed as Chilean sea bass.
Andrea Kavanagh, who directs the Pew Bertarelli Ocean Legacy Project’s Antarctic and Southern Ocean protection work, said the problem with krill fishing around Antarctica has been that it’s almost all concentrated in one small area.
She said the depletion of the small, shrimp-like creatures affects predators including seabirds, penguins, seals and whales. She said the fishery doesn’t necessarily need to be reduced, just spread out.
Kavanagh said Norway is the biggest fisher of krill, which is used for human health supplements and feed for aquariums and salmon farms.
“It’s not a food security issue,” Kavanagh said. “Krill is used for luxury products.”
Russia last year used its veto-like powers to reject the toothfish catch limits proposed by the commission’s scientists. That led to Britain taking its own action by issuing licenses without CCAMLR approval, putting it offside with many other members.
Medina said Britain had been trying to sell some of the toothfish in America but the U.S. had refused to buy it. But she said it was not up to the U.S. to tell Britain to stop its fishing.
She said Britain’s fishing was “within the bounds of what had been permitted in the past, and should not in any way be controversial other than the fact that Russia has blocked it.”
One bright spot of the meeting so far has been that discussions with China appeared to have been more positive than in previous years, said Kavanagh. It was also helpful to have high-level support from the U.S. and resume face-to-face discussions, she said.
She pointed out the group had managed before to get Russia on board, back in 2016 when it created a marine protected area twice the size of Texas in the Ross Sea.
Countries should not interpret consensus as a veto power, Kavanagh added, but rather should offer counterproposals so everyone works toward a compromise.
But in recent years, she said, “nobody’s offering counterproposals that are legitimate. It’s all just ‘No.'” | 2022-10-27T08:02:29+00:00 | myfox8.com | https://myfox8.com/international/ap-international/ap-russia-may-again-block-antarctic-marine-protections/ |
MILWAUKEE (AP) — They overcame the ravages of a hurricane to win a national title at their old school.
Now former Loyola New Orleans teammates Zach Wrightsil, Myles Burns and Brandon Davis are aiming for one more improbable achievement as they attempt to make the leap from their NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) program and succeed at the NCAA Division I level.
Burns is at Mississippi, Davis at Texas State and Wrightsil at Marquette.
“I’ve always known I could play at this level,” said Wrightsil, a 6-foot-7 forward. “That was never a question in my head.”
The NAIA doesn’t keep track of how many players transfer from one of its schools to the NCAA Division I level. But the moves Burns and Wrightsil are making seem particularly rare as they go straight to one of the six major conferences.
None of the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big 12, Big Ten, Big East, SEC and Pac-12 schools that responded to an Associated Press survey could recall an example of their school adding a player directly from the NAIA.
Boston College forward CJ Penha Jr. began his college career at NAIA program Taylor University but transferred to NCAA Division II school Trevecca Nazarene before coming to the ACC with the Eagles.
“I personally believe that I’m more than capable of playing on this level,” said Burns, a 6-7 forward.
Stacy Hollowell, who coached Loyola to the NAIA championship, says there is talent at that level. He cites as an example EJ Onu, who was at NAIA program Shawnee State from 2017-21 and now plays for the NBA G League’s Memphis Hustle.
Hollowell believes the three former Loyola players can fare well at their new schools.
He remembers how Davis’ arrival last season gave Loyola what it needed to win a national title after falling short a year earlier. He believes Burns and Wrightsil both have the athleticism to thrive in a high-major program.
“What people don’t understand is they have a high-major will to win,” said Hollowell, who now works as Ole Miss’ associate athletic director for men’s basketball. “You can’t really quantify that by watching a guy. You’ve got to kind of be around him and feel that out, I think.”
Hollowell was around those guys enough to understand what they went through last year.
When Hurricane Ida hit New Orleans in August 2021, the storm ripped off a corner of the roof of the Loyola building that housed the basketball court.
Loyola practiced in Dallas for a couple of weeks while much of New Orleans was without power. After the players returned to campus, Loyola played home games at other local colleges. The players would practice whenever there was an open time slot, sometimes as early as 5 a.m.
A local convention center donated a court to Loyola that it used on campus as a temporary floor for some home games starting in January.
“We basically lost everything, so that brought us together,” Davis said. “When we played other teams, we had a common goal – not to let the stuff we’d been through hinder us from winning games.
They went 37-1 and won the school’s first national championship since 1945. Earlier in the season, Wrightsil scored 26 points, Burns 18 and Davis 11 in an exhibition victory over NCAA Division I program New Orleans.
Wrightsil was named the NAIA player of the year. Burns was a second-team NAIA All-America selection and Davis earned honorable mention. Burns also won the Marques Haynes Award for having the most steals of any player in any level of college basketball.
Their success led to NCAA Division I offers. They couldn’t pass up the opportunity.
“I’ve definitely had dreams of playing at a big Division I school,” Burns said. “Every basketball player I think wants that.”
Now they’re adjusting to the jump in competition.
Burns noted that most NAIA programs don’t have the athletic big men he will face in just about every SEC game. All three former Loyola players talked about dealing with additional time demands.
Wrightsil had to play catch-up after having arthroscopic knee surgery in June. He played just six minutes and scored two points Monday in Marquette’s season-opening 79-69 victory over Radford.
“I would definitely advise anyone following our team to watch how much better Zach is in November than he was in October and how much better he is in December than November and so on,” Marquette coach Shaka Smart said. “He’s going to keep getting better as he gets accustomed to this level.”
Burns and Davis were both in the starting lineups Monday for their new teams. Burns had nine points and six rebounds in 30 minutes as Ole Miss defeated Alcorn State 73-58. Davis, a 6-1 guard, played 25 minutes and had two points and five rebounds in Texas State’s 83-61 loss at Washington State.
The three former teammates are sharing advice on how they can succeed at their new schools.
“They’re going through their bumps and bruises just like I am,” Wrightsil said. “It’s been a really fun ride just being able to talk with them about it because we’re all in the same boat, coming from that level to an all-new level.”

Wife of ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ star John Schneider dead at 53
HOLDEN, La. (AP) — Alicia Allain Schneider, filmmaker and wife of ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ star John Schneider, has died at the couple’s home in south Louisiana.
Alicia Allain Schneider died Tuesday, news outlets reported. She was 53. A cause of death was not provided.
John Schneider announced his wife’s death in a Facebook post Wednesday.
“My beautiful Smile is pain free, living in her new body alongside Jesus,” Schneider, 62, wrote. The actor-singer-producer often referred to his spouse as “my Smile.”
John Schneider, who operates John Schneider Studios in Holden, asked for privacy but encouraged fans with photos of the couple to post them in the comments section.
“Lastly … hug those you love tight and let them know how you feel. We always did,” he said.
Alicia Allain Schneider worked as John Schneider’s manager before they married in 2019 at the barn on the studio property.
“This is a time of unimaginable sorrow for me. Grief is much too small a word. I’ve heard it said that ‘with great love comes great sorrow.’ I had no idea what that meant until now,” he wrote in another post Thursday.
Schneider’s former “Dukes” co-star, Tom Wopat, expressed his sympathy in a Facebook post as well.
“I didn’t get any details, but I don’t need any to be aware of the pain and loss that John’s dealing with,” Wopat said. “My thoughts and prayers are with him, along with the thoughts and prayers of the entire Dukes nation. Alicia was a force in his life and his career, and she will be missed …”
Alicia Schneider, a native of Brusly, had numerous producing and acting credits to her name. The pair also developed and produced many film projects including “Anderson Bench,” “Like Son,” “Christmas Cars” and, most recently, the American flag-focused “To Die For.”
In addition to her husband, she is survived by a daughter and other relatives. Services, which are pending, will be private.

France midfielder Paul Pogba will miss the World Cup in Qatar after failing to recover from knee surgery, his agent said on Monday.
Pogba underwent an operation in September, but his agent said that, after a medical review, the midfielder would not yet return to the Juventus squad or join up with France for the World Cup, which takes place from Nov. 20 to Dec. 18.

"Following yesterday and today's medical review in Torino and Pittsburgh, it is extremely painful to inform Paul Pogba will still need recovery time from his surgery," agent Rafaela Pimenta said.
"For this reason, Paul will not be able to join Juventus squad before the World Cup break nor the French national team in Qatar. If wishful thinking would change things, Paul would be playing tomorrow."
The 29-year-old has not played a single minute for Juventus this season since rejoining the club from Manchester United on a free transfer in July.

Juventus released a statement on Monday that read: "Paul Pogba, in light of the recent radiological examinations performed at J|Medical and the consultation carried out in Pittsburgh by Prof. Volker Musahl on the evaluation of his knee, needs to continue his rehabilitation program."
The news is a huge setback for reigning world champions France, who will also be without Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante for this year's tournament.
Pogba was one of France's most influential players in their 2018 World Cup triumph, scoring in the final victory over Croatia as they won the trophy for the second time. | 2022-10-31T17:56:40+00:00 | espn.com | https://www.espn.com/soccer/france-fra/story/4786965/france-star-paul-pogba-ruled-out-of-world-cup-after-knee-surgery |
Report: Ukraine world’s 3rd biggest arms importer in 2022
By JARI TANNER
Associated Press
HELSINKI (AP) — A Swedish think tank says Russia’s invasion of Ukraine that led to a substantial flow of military aid to Kyiv made Ukraine the world’s third largest importer of arms in 2022. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, or SIPRI, reported that from 1991, when Ukraine became independent amid the fall of the Soviet Union, until the end of 2021, Ukraine imported few major arms. But Moscow’s invasion on Feb. 24 last year markedly changed that and Ukraine became the third biggest importer of major arms in 2022 after Qatar and India, SIPRI said, citing a report with new data on global arms transfers. | 2023-03-13T15:05:46+00:00 | localnews8.com | https://localnews8.com/news/ap-national-business/2023/03/13/report-ukraine-worlds-3rd-biggest-arms-importer-in-2022-2/ |

LANHAM, Md. (WBOY) — A West Virginia University ROTC cadet gave his mom a very special Mother’s Day gift this year when his commissioning ceremony was held in the hospital right before her death.
Senior Army ROTC Cadet Christian Arevalo, 23, was preparing for his graduation from West Virginia University and commissioning ceremony last week when he received a call to return to his home in Maryland as quickly as possible because his mother, who was battling advanced-stage cancer, didn’t have much time left.
Although he was scheduled to be commissioned as a second lieutenant the next day, Arevalo hopped in a car and went to the hospital, even though it would cause him to miss his commissioning, an important rite of passage in every Army officer’s career, according to a Facebook post by the WVU Army ROTC. “He never doubted the decision,” said the post, “and notified LTC David Sherck, professor of Military Science, of his intentions to pass on commissioning to be with his mother.”
On Thursday, 18 of Arevalo’s classmates were commissioned in the WVU Mountainlair without him, which didn’t sit right with LTC Sherck, said the post. Early the following day, Sherck drove nearly four hours from Morgantown to Lanham, Maryland to Doctors Community Hospital where Arevalo’s mother, Rosa Gonzalez, was in the ICU.
In an intimate ceremony in his mother’s room, Arevalo was commissioned in front of a small group of his closest family and friends, receiving his gold lieutenant bars and becoming 2nd LT Arevalo.
The first thing he did as an officer was bend down and give his mother a kiss on the forehead.
“When I think of Christian, there’s one word that comes to mind, and that’s reliability,” said LTC Sherck in the Facebook post. “It’s a great testament to Christian that when we did peer reviews, his peers universally acknowledged that we always know he’s going to be there and he always gets results. He’s really given it his all over the last four years. We owed it to him to get out here to make this happen for him and his family.”
On Mother’s Day, only days after the ceremony, Arevalo’s mother died. The recent college graduate and his two sisters set up a GoFundMe to cover the cost of his mother’s funeral; in the first 24 hours, the GoFundMe raised more than $8,000.
“The three of us were by her side the entire time until the end. This experience has left us broken and empty. We love our mother so much and would love to give her a funeral as special as she was,” the siblings wrote online.
If you would like to donate, the link is available here.
Arevalo will report for Basic Officer Leadership Course later this year, according to the WVU ROTC, and will then begin a three-year term as an Army Transportation Corps officer. | 2023-05-18T01:09:16+00:00 | cbs4indy.com | https://cbs4indy.com/news/national-world/rotc-grad-commissioned-in-mothers-icu-room-before-her-passing-on-mothers-day/ |

Penn State is hiring VCU’s Mike Rhoades to be its new men’s basketball coach, a person involved in the decision told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the seven-year contract for Rhoades still needed final approval from the school’s board of trustees, which was scheduled to meet later Wednesday.
Rhoades, a Pennsylvania native, will replace Micah Shrewsberry, who was hired away by Notre Dame last week. Shrewsberry, an Indiana native, was at Penn State for two seasons, leading the Nittany Lions to the NCAA Tournament this season.
Rhoades, 50, is 176-113 in six seasons as head coach at VCU, including three NCAA Tournament bids. He also spent three seasons at Rice, going 23-12 in the final year with the Owls before returning to VCU.
He was an assistant at the Richmond, Virginia, school from 2009-14 under then-head coach Shaka Smart.

WASHINGTON (AP) — One handshake, one hug and one selfie at a time. If President Joe Biden could greet every American this way, longtime allies say, his approval ratings would soar.
Biden has never been at his best in big speeches, where his delivery can be stilted, his stories sometimes meandering. It’s the end of his speech that often marks the beginning of Biden’s favorite part of an event — the rope line, in the parlance of political operatives. He whirls around, scans the crowd and zeroes in on his first target for a one-on-one connection.
It might be with someone like Tim Eichinger, a Milwaukee brewery owner who asked Biden a question during a TV town hall 20 months ago, and has since had a one-on-one videoconference with the president and seen Biden send a couple of letters to his grandson.
It might be a small child — Biden likes to carry some cash so he can discretely slip kids a few dollars and encourage them to buy ice cream. It might be someone who stutters — they come in for special attention from the president.
After Biden gave a speech on student loans on Friday at Delaware State University, there were plentiful handshakes and photos with the students on stage. Last Tuesday, at a Democratic National Committee event in Washington, Biden invited one audience member backstage for a private photo, autographed some of the abortion rights signs that participants had been waving and mugged in a handful of selfies.
Aides say the 79-year-old has perfected his selfie arm, the products of which are widely shared on social media.
At an August event for Maryland Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wes Moore, Biden spent more than 75 minutes across three different rooms greeting people after the speechmaking had ended. He drew cheers when he grabbed hold of a high school drum major’s baton and then posed with it for a photo before the marching band.
It’s all part of an approach Biden has largely perfected through decades of glad-handing in his home state of Delaware, whose population is just over 1 million and was about half that when Biden was first elected to the Senate in 1972.
Scaling that kind of personal politicking to the presidential level has been a challenge, first as Biden campaigned for the Oval Office in the COVID-19 pandemic that curtailed his public engagements and now that he’s in the White House, where the demands on his time — and the security — are greater.
The hard fact, politically, is that one-on-one warmth and empathy only go so far. They helped him forge bipartisan bonds in the Senate but from the White House, most voters, most of the time, only see the president in scripted or staged moments. Biden aides have sought out ways to show voters the president’s private interactions, with behind-the-scenes videos of some of the encounters, even if they are unlikely to ever have a chance at one themselves.
Still, Biden insists that time be built into his schedule so he can interact with people at his events — such encounters seem to energize him and help inform his policymaking.
There can occasionally be awkward moments, too, such as when a presidential quip lands poorly, that in today’s partisan environment are often broadcast online by his political rivals. But they are outnumbered by the positive interactions that have defined Biden’s career and tested the stamina of his aides.
“He outlasts us,” White House deputy chief of staff Jen O’Malley Dillon told The Associated Press of Biden’s penchant for spending 30 minutes, an hour, sometimes longer shaking hands.
“He’s going to take as much time as he wants,” added Stephen Goepfert, Biden’s former personal aide, or “body man.”
The president, whose poll ratings have risen in recent months but remain in negative territory, has held relatively few large political events in the leadup to midterm elections. Many Democratic candidates don’t see a Biden appearance as a plus. Aides say his schedule — and the size of his audiences — will pick up as his party pivots to get-out-the-vote efforts.
But don’t expect the small encounters to go away.
Biden, aides said, seems to detect when someone may be going through a personal or family crisis — perhaps informed by his own experiences with grief and challenge: the death of his first wife and daughter in a car crash, the loss of his son to cancer, his recovery from a pair of life-threatening brain aneurysms, a decades-long struggle to overcome a stutter.
“He just instinctually knows how to show up for what that person needs in whatever way that is,” said O’Malley Dillon.
Goepfert followed steps behind Biden at hundreds of events during the campaign and in the White House before he left in August. “I’ve seen him comfort people who were in tears talking about their personal hardships, console somebody who’s recently been diagnosed with cancer, honor a veteran servicemember with a handshake and one of his challenge coins, and also give a young person money for ice cream just for sitting through the speech — and all in the same rope line,” he said.
As Biden works his way through a crowd, he’ll often summon an aide to take someone backstage for a photo, collect their information for follow-up, or jot down the phone number of a loved one who couldn’t be there for a surprise call from the president.
In his armored limousine after an event, Biden “is ready to follow up with the people he met, and he’s already making those phone calls,” said Goepfert.
Those fleeting encounters sometimes evolve into enduring relationships.
Before he became president, Biden would frequently give out his cell phone number to young people looking for advice overcoming the speech impediment. Now that he’s in the Oval Office, Biden is still in touch with many of them by phone, and sends taped feedback and words of encouragement from Air Force One.
Thirteen-year-old Brayden Harrington’s speech about how candidate Biden coached him to overcome his stutter was an emotional highlight of the 2020 Democratic National Convention.
Another 13-year-old boy, Ryan, from Arlington, Virginia, continues to trade texts and video messages with Biden through staff after meeting the president at a 2019 rally. Ryan, whose mother asked that his last name not be used, said Biden has “helped me be brave” and join his school’s choir.
On another occasion, a brief Biden encounter with France’s deputy ambassador about their shared connections to Ireland yielded a touching letter to the diplomat’s “over the moon” son.
Annie Tomasini, director of Oval Office operations, and her staff track Biden’s interactions and coordinate the phone calls and letters that often follow rope line meetings. Some of these relationships have been going more than a decade.
“He takes those engagements, and they stay with him,” Tomasini said, adding that they are reflected in Biden’s policy goals.
“It really drives how he comes back and says, ‘Hey, listen, guys, we need to focus on these pieces’,’’ she said. His staff has gotten used to inquiries about specific issues that Biden hears about from Americans on the rope line or whom he’s met when leaving church.
“It just truly is who he is,” said O’Malley Dillon. “He’s been in many of the shoes that the American people are in.”
Eichinger, co-owner of Black Husky Brewing in Milwaukee, hadn’t thought much about it when Biden promised to follow up on a question he asked the president during a cable news town hall. He got a call a couple of days later from Ashley Williams, deputy director of Oval Office operations, looking to put him in touch with Biden’s economic staff for a briefing and to schedule a Zoom with Biden that ended up lasting 30 minutes.
“I said I really didn’t expect them to do that,” Eichinger recalled. “She said ‘No, that’s not how he is. When he says something, he expects us to follow up and to keep that relationship going.’”
Eichinger and his family later toured the White House over Christmas, and Biden sent his school-aged grandson a letter praising his violin playing after Williams showed him a video that Eichinger had sent.
“I’m just one of 330 million people out here,” Eichinger said. “They continue to feel that what I have to say is important.”

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cinedigm (NASDAQ: CIDM) and Bloody Disgusting, the team behind the mega-slasher box-office hit Terrifier 2, are back at it again with plans to release its visceral new horror film The Outwaters in theaters this February.
A throwback to the early days of the found-footage genre, Cinedigm and Bloody Disgusting are releasing The Outwaters in theaters beginning February 9. The buzz around the film has been growing steadily since its successful festival run and culminated when its teaser trailer was shown ahead of Terrifier 2, this past October. Following its theatrical run, the Company plans to release The Outwaters exclusively on its horror streaming service as a SCREAMBOX Original.
The chaotic and disorienting feature was called "a rare gift in horror" and "something [viewers] haven't seen before" by Nightmarish Conjurings and described as "a straight-up descent into insanity" by Nightmare on Film Street.
Written and directed by Robbie Banfitch, The Outwaters takes viewers off the beaten path and into their own nightmares. The film plays out over three memory cards found in a sun-drenched section of the Mojave Desert. The footage within is that of a foursome, who set out to make a music video while camping, led by a charismatic LA filmmaker. Their trip starts out uneventful, though their peace is occasionally disrupted by unexplained sounds, vibrations, and unnatural animal behavior. Then one night everything changes, sending the foursome on a mind-bending trip through terror.
During its festival run, the film took home the Jury Prize for Best Feature at the Unnamed Footage Festival and won Best Feature at The Dead of the Night Film Festival. The film also received rave reviews at these festivals, in addition to Panic Fest, The New Jersey Film Festival, Irish Film Institute Horrorthon and the Chattanooga Film Festival, placing The Outwaters at the top of horror fans must watch lists.
"It's been a longtime dream to make a 'scary movie,'" said Banfitch. "I'm grateful that people will have a chance to watch The Outwaters on the silver screen. Because we need that. All of us. Somehow, terror feels good in a place like this."
The Outwaters stars Banfitch, Angela Basolis, Michelle May, Scott Schamell and Leslie Ann Banfitch and features original music by Salem Belladonna. The film was produced by Beau J. Genot and Banfitch with Robert Abramoff serving as the executive producer.
Official Synopsis: Memory cards unearthed in a remote stretch of the Mojave Desert tell the story of four travelers who vanished during a sun-drenched camping trip. One night, everything changes when the foursome is sent on a mind-bending voyage of unrelenting terror into a world of darkness that no human was ever meant to see.

New Orleans guitarist Walter ‘Wolfman’ Washington dead at 79
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — New Orleans music legend Walter “Wolfman” Washington, a cornerstone of the city’s musical nightlife for decades, has died of cancer, just days after turning 79.
Washington died Dec. 22 at Passages Hospice, The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate reported.
Funeral services are scheduled for Jan. 4. at 2 p.m. at Jacob Schoen & Son Funeral Home. A benefit concert to help with medical and funeral expenses is planned for Jan. 8 at the Tipitina’s music venue.
Washington and his band, the Roadmasters, mixed blues, R&B, funk and soul, punctuating songs with his trademark howl, the newspaper reported. In director Michael Murphy’s 2005 New Orleans music documentary “Make It Funky!,” Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards bows down to Washington in tribute to his guitar style and tone, the newspaper reported.
Washington started his career backing New Orleans musical legends Irma Thomas, Lee Dorsey and Johnny Adams, who ultimately became a mentor and close friend.
“Johnny taught me a whole lot,” Washington recalled in 1999. “He’d say, ‘If you want to sing high notes, you’ve got to pay attention to how you go up there. Take your time. Don’t rush yourself. Once you get used to going up there, it will come easy.’ He played guitar, too. He’d show me how to hit notes and how to run from one note to another and pay attention to why that note fits there. He was like a dad. I could talk to him about anything.”
Washington backed Adams on several Rounder Records albums before releasing his first album with the Roadmasters, “Leader of the Pack,” for the Hep’Me label in 1981. He moved to Rounder for 1986’s “Wolf Tracks” and the subsequent “Out of the Dark” and “Wolf at the Door.” The 1991 album “Sada” was named for his first daughter.
He traveled abroad and occasionally toured domestically, but New Orleans’ nightclubs were his heart and soul. He was one of the first musicians to play in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina via generator-powered shows at the Maple Leaf.
After more than 10 years without a new album, Washington made a comeback with 2018’s “My Future Is My Past.” The album reunited him with Thomas for a duet on the old Adams song “Even Now” and earned Washington some of the best reviews of his career.
More recently, he finished another batch of eight blues-tinged songs, produced by Galactic saxophonist Ben Ellman. Washington’s manager, Adam Shipley, is currently shopping the finished album to record labels, the newspaper reported.
“For the last six or seven years, Walter got the recognition he deserved,” Shipley said. “He put out some great music, and had a great life.”
A dedicated smoker and drinker with a colorful personal life, Washington battled back from numerous health challenges over the years. Still, his March diagnosis of tonsil cancer was surprising.
Even as he underwent chemotherapy and radiation, he continued to perform, including at this year’s French Quarter Festival and New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
“Nobody could tell what he was going through,” his wife, Michelle Washington said. “He was a trooper to the end. He didn’t want people feeling sorry for him. He led an amazing life. He touched a lot of people and brought them a lot of joy.”
In addition to his wife, survivors include two daughters, Sada and Mamadou Washington, and a son, Brian Anderson. | 2022-12-28T20:39:32+00:00 | krdo.com | https://krdo.com/news/2022/12/28/new-orleans-guitarist-walter-wolfman-washington-dead-at-79/ |

About Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic, idiopathic, immune-mediated inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) of the large intestine that causes continuous mucosal inflammation extending, to a variable extent, from the rectum to the more proximal colon.1,2 The hallmark signs and symptoms of ulcerative colitis include rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, tenesmus (a sense of pressure), urgency and fecal incontinence.1,3 The disease course of ulcerative colitis varies between patients and can range from quiescent disease to chronic refractory disease, which in some cases can lead to surgery or complications, including cancer or death.2,4 The severity of symptoms and unpredictability of disease course can lead to substantial burden and often disability among those living with the disease.5
About Crohn's Disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic disease that manifests as inflammation within the gastrointestinal (or digestive) tract, causing persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain and rectal bleeding.2,6,7 It is a progressive disease, meaning it gets worse over time.2,7 Because the signs and symptoms of Crohn's disease are unpredictable, it causes a significant burden on people living with the disease—not only physically, but also emotionally and economically.5
About RINVOQ® (upadacitinib)
Discovered and developed by AbbVie scientists, RINVOQ is a selective and reversible JAK inhibitor that is being studied in several immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.8-15 In human cellular assays, RINVOQ preferentially inhibits signaling by JAK1 or JAK1/3 with functional selectivity over cytokine receptors that signal via pairs of JAK2.8
In the EU, RINVOQ is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who have had an inadequate response, lost response or were intolerant to either conventional therapy or a biologic agent.8 The use of upadacitinib in Crohn's disease is not approved and its safety and efficacy have not been established by global regulatory authorities. Phase 3 trials of RINVOQ in atopic dermatitis, axial spondylarthritis, Crohn's disease, giant cell arteritis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, Takayasu arteritis and ulcerative colitis are ongoing.9-15

U.S. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
What is the most important information I should know about RINVOQ?
RINVOQ may cause serious side effects, including:
- Serious infections. RINVOQ can lower your ability to fight infections. Serious infections have happened while taking RINVOQ, including tuberculosis (TB) and infections caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses that can spread throughout the body. Some people have died from these infections. Your healthcare provider (HCP) should test you for TB before starting RINVOQ and check you closely for signs and symptoms of TB during treatment with RINVOQ. You should not start taking RINVOQ if you have any kind of infection unless your HCP tells you it is okay. If you get a serious infection, your HCP may stop your treatment until your infection is controlled. You may be at higher risk of developing shingles (herpes zoster).
- Increased risk of death in people 50 years and older who have at least 1 heart disease (cardiovascular) risk factor.
- Cancer and immune system problems. RINVOQ may increase your risk of certain cancers. Lymphoma and other cancers, including skin cancers, can happen. Current or past smokers are at higher risk of certain cancers, including lymphoma and lung cancer. Follow your HCP's advice about having your skin checked for skin cancer during treatment with RINVOQ. Limit the amount of time you spend in sunlight. Wear protective clothing when you are in the sun and use sunscreen.
- Increased risk of major cardiovascular (CV) events, such as heart attack, stroke, or death, in people 50 years and older who have at least 1 heart disease (CV) risk factor, especially if you are a current or past smoker.
- Blood clots. Blood clots in the veins of the legs or lungs and arteries can happen with RINVOQ. This may be life-threatening and cause death. Blood clots in the veins of the legs and lungs have happened more often in people who are 50 years and older and with at least 1 heart disease (CV) risk factor.
- Allergic reactions. Symptoms such as rash (hives), trouble breathing, feeling faint or dizzy, or swelling of your lips, tongue, or throat, that may mean you are having an allergic reaction have been seen in people taking RINVOQ. Some of these reactions were serious. If any of these symptoms occur during treatment with RINVOQ, stop taking RINVOQ and get emergency medical help right away.
- Tears in the stomach or intestines and changes in certain laboratory tests. Your HCP should do blood tests before you start taking RINVOQ and while you take it. Your HCP may stop your RINVOQ treatment for a period of time if needed because of changes in these blood test results.

Fleet electrification services firm and home healthcare company partner to test electric vehicles on daily patient visits.
HOUSTON, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Merge Electric Fleet Solutions has kicked off a pilot program with Solace Pediatric Healthcare to deploy four fully electric vehicles in Solace's fleet. The Electric Vehicle Pilot Program (EVPP) is the first of its kind for Solace and will enable the home healthcare company to determine whether fully electric vehicles will meet the daily driving needs of their clinicians. Solace will apply lessons learned to optimize future fleet electrification plans.
Solace Pediatric Healthcare is the leading provider of pediatric nursing, family caregiver, occupational, physical, speech, and feeding therapy services based in the Denver metro area and beyond. Solace's current fleet includes nearly 180 vehicles, which clinicians drive to pediatric patient's homes for appointments. Merge's pilot will run for six months and offer a data-driven approach to testing electric vehicles in their fleet.
Glen Stancil, CEO of Merge, notes, "Solace is an innovative partner for Merge. They are interested not only in a more sustainable fleet, but also in the driver experience. Our analytics capabilities will give Solace real-world data on how drivers are navigating the change to electric driving and charging. We'll also discover how EVs can meet the daily driving needs of more Solace employees."
Merge provided Solace with four all-wheel drive Volkswagen ID.4s, all of which are capable of travelling approximately 240-250 miles when the battery is fully charged. Each clinician in the pilot program will be able to charge at home on a Merge-installed Level 2 or Level 1 charger, and at public DC fast charging stations. Participants were chosen to capture a representative variety of daily routes, their access to home charging options, and their enthusiasm for participating in an electric pilot program.
"For years we have been monitoring the electric vehicle market for the right time to start transitioning the fleet of over 180 vehicles. We have been waiting for the battery range, charging infrastructure and options for AWD or 4WD to be available before making the leap. It is an exciting time to be able to participate in this pilot program and learn how to best move forward with transitioning our most popular benefit, the car program, to an electric fleet. While we have been waiting for the right electric vehicles to hit the market, we have been participating in carbon offsetting for every mile driven by our fleet," said Darcie Peacock, CEO at Solace Pediatric Healthcare.
Merge uses telematics data from each vehicle to analyze utilization, charging, and use cases. Solace pilot participants will also participate in surveys to gauge their satisfaction and learnings from the EV driving experience.
As a part of the EVPP service deployment, Merge conducted in-person deliveries and training sessions with each pilot driver to ensure they are prepared to drive and charge the vehicles as they go about their daily routines. One participating clinician shared, "I'm most excited about never having to stop at a gas station during my work day. I don't know if I can ever drive another gas car. I'll never go back!"
Merge will provide Solace with data insights on vehicle utilization, charging habits, and environmental impact after the six-month EVPP service concludes. This data will enable the Solace fleet management team to build an informed, actionable, and confident plan for fleet electrification that maximizes emissions reduction and cost savings while minimizing operational risk.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Pandemic-related assistance that stopped last year helped cause a sharp increase in bankruptcy filings for people with steady incomes, experts said.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy filings, reserved for people above the poverty line but with consistent income, spiked 30 percent nationally in 2022, while all other forms of bankruptcy filings dropped, according to federal court statistics. Cuyahoga County’s numbers rose at about the same rate with a 27 percent jump.
Richard Nemeth, a Cleveland bankruptcy attorney and president of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys, said the biggest factor is likely the ending of the foreclosure moratorium in late 2021.
“Those are the kinds of events that drive people into consumer bankruptcy offices,” Nemeth said. “Because foreclosure dockets are reactivated, my guess is that’s the biggest driver causing people to seek relief from the bankruptcy courts.”
Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows people to stave off foreclosures on mortgages and repossessions of cars, among other benefits. Those who go forward with the proceedings must adhere to strict spending requirements that stipulate that discretionary money go to paying down debts.
Ohio overall saw an 18 percent increase in Chapter 13 filings. Chapter 7 bankruptcy filings, for those below the federal poverty level, dropped across the state and in Cuyahoga County.
Cuyahoga County’s 783 filings for Chapter 13 last year topped the state, above Franklin County’s 742.
Franklin County’s rate rose about 15 percent; in Summit County, the rate went up only 4.3 percent.
Chapter 13 filings are still less than the pre-pandemic era. In 2019, Cuyahoga County had 1,306 Chapter 13 filings for individuals.
Other bankruptcy attorneys who spoke to cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer said they believe the assistance that stopped in 2021 led to the increase in filings, including that mortgage lenders didn’t allow those who borrowed to make payments at the end of the mortgage.
“So all of the sudden they have these massive payments to make. That will increase Chapter 13s,” longtime bankruptcy attorney Lee Kravitz said.
Kravitz also said rising interest rates, particularly on car loans likely played a role. People can stave off repossessions by entering Chapter 13.
“The trend is going to continue because the interest rate is not coming down,” Kravitz said. “I think that’s going to force more and more people into bankruptcy. Sometimes, when you enter Chapter 13, you can cut down on the interest rate or the payments.”

BRUSSELS — NATO defense ministers gathered Thursday for talks focusing on bolstering forces and deterrence along the military alliance’s eastern borders to dissuade Russia from planning further aggression.
In response to the invasion of Ukraine, NATO says it has placed over 40,000 troops under its direct command, mainly on the eastern flank.
NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg said allies will take decisions on the scale of their posture for the the longer term “to ensure that we can defend every inch of Allied territory.”
The meeting of defense ministers came ahead of a June 29-30 NATO summit in Madrid that will seek to set a determined course for the alliance in coming years.
Germany has already announced its plans to strengthen its engagement in Lithuania, while France wants to increase its presence in Romania, where it plans to have deployed 1,000 troops reinforced with Leclerc tanks by the end of the year.
Artis Pabriks, the Latvian defense minister, said the military alliance should position larger armed forces and material in Baltic countries.
“We want an improved planning, we want a headquarters structure, we want pre-positioning of different types of equipment, so if a crisis would come we should not wait,” he said.
Discussions in Brussels will also focus on the need for more defense spending, Stoltenberg said, with the bids from Sweden and Finland to join the alliance also on the table.
Stoltenberg saluted the United States’ decision to send an additional $1 billion in military aid to Ukraine and said NATO allies are “prepared to continue to provide substantial, unprecedented support” to the country.
The latest package, the U.S. said, includes anti-ship missile launchers, howitzers and more rounds for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems that U.S. forces are training Ukrainian troops on now. All are key weapons systems that Ukrainian leaders have urgently requested as they battle to stall Russia’s slow but steady march to conquer the eastern Donbas region.
Speaking alongside Stoltenberg, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin praised the “historic decision” by Finland and Sweden to apply for NATO membership, expressing his hopes that discussions will continue to progress favorably.
Turkey has clearly voiced its opposition to the Nordic pair’s NATO accession and Stoltenberg has been working hard to try to break the deadlock. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan insists Finland and Sweden must show more respect for Turkish sensitivities about terrorism. He is refusing to budge over what he says is their alleged support for Kurdish militants. | 2022-06-16T09:27:58+00:00 | washingtonpost.com | https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/nato-ministers-discuss-boosting-eastern-flank-forces/2022/06/16/5a0bb808-ed53-11ec-9f90-79df1fb28296_story.html |
INGLEWOOD, Calif. — A Seahawks team that hoped it would have a one-two punch this season of Rashaad Penny and Kenneth Walker III was without both players as the second half began of Sunday’s game against the Rams.
Walker, who took over as the starting running back when Penny was lost for the season with an ankle injury against the Saints on Oct. 9, left the game in the second quarter with an ankle injury. After initially being listed as questionable to return, he was ruled out.
That left the Seahawks with DeeJay Dallas and Tony Jones Jr. as its running backs with Travis Homer having been ruled out before the game with knee/illness issues.
Walker limped off the field following a run for no gain at the Rams’ 4-yard line early in the second quarter.
Walker took over as the starter after Rashaad Penny was lost for the season with an ankle injury suffered on Oct. 9 at New Orleans.
Walker was the 41st overall pick in the 2022 draft and entered the game with 613 yards on the season and 555 since taking over as the starter.
Walker had 36 yards on three carries, including a 30-yarder in the first quarter, before being injured.
Seattle claimed Jones off waivers from the Saints in October, and he had no carries before Sunday’s game but had appeared in two games on special teams.

GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — Guatemala’s troubled presidential election was thrown into even greater turmoil Wednesday when the country’s top electoral tribunal confirmed the results of the June 25 vote while the Attorney General’s Office announced that the second place party had been suspended.
The seemingly contradictory moves fed more than two weeks of rising tensions and suspicions after the first round of voting, which had seemingly sent conservative Sandra Torres and progressive Bernardo Arévalo into a Aug. 20 presidential runoff.
There were immediate calls Wednesday for Guatemalans to take to the streets in protest and demonstrators gathered outside the Supreme Electoral Tribunal until heavy rain drove them away.
It was not immediately clear how the situation would play out now that yet another court had intervened in Guatemala’s electoral process, but electoral authorities said Torres and Arévalo would face each other on Aug. 20.
But Rafael Curruchiche, the special prosecutor against impunity, said in a video statement that in May 2022 a citizen reported having his signature falsely added to the signature gathering effort of Arévalo’s Seed Movement party and that the Attorney General Office’s investigation also found 12 deceased people were included on its list of signatures.
The special prosecutor said there were indications that more than 5,000 signatures were illegally gathered for the party.
Curruchiche’s statement was released while the country waited for a scheduled news conference by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal in which it was expected to certify the result of the June 25 election. The tribunal confirmed the result minutes after the prosecutor announced that the Seed Movement’s legal status had been suspended.
Guatemala’s electoral law prohibits the suspension of political parties between when an election is called and when it is held. With a second round of voting required because no candidate exceeded 50% of the vote, it appeared that the Seed Movement could not be suspended.
After the first round, losing parties had challenged the results and courts intervened to block certification of the results. Concerns grew that efforts were afoot to keep Arévalo out of contention.
This week, it appeared the demands imposed by the courts had finally been satisfied and electoral authorities said they were working toward certification of the results. But talk began to circulate on social platforms that another hurdle could be coming from the Attorney General’s Office.
The relatively new Seed Movement party had needed at least 25,000 signatures to form itself legally. Curruchiche suggested that not knowing where the party got the funds to pay signature gatherers left open the possibility of money laundering.
The details of the case were made known to the Supreme Electoral Tribunal in May, Curruchiche said.
In 2021, the U.S. government said that it had lost confidence in Guatemala’s commitment to battling corruption after Attorney General Consuelo Porras fired Curruchiche’s predecessor. Last year, the U.S. State Department added Curruchiche to its list of corrupt and undemocratic actors, alleging that he obstructed corruption investigations.
Roberto Arzu, a conservative presidential hopeful who was barred from competing for allegedly starting his campaign prematurely, called on Guatemalans to take to the streets in protest following Curruchiche’s announcement.
“This is a corrupt system’s coup,” said Arzu, son of former President Álvaro Arzú. | 2023-07-13T02:41:46+00:00 | cbs42.com | https://www.cbs42.com/news/international/ap-top-tribunal-certifies-guatemalas-election-result-minutes-after-another-court-suspends-one-party/ |

Little sign of relief expected in September inflation data
WASHINGTON (AP) — Any Americans hoping for relief from months of punishing inflation might not see much in Thursday’s government report on price increases in September.
Lower gas prices will probably reduce overall consumer inflation for a third straight month. But measures of “core” inflation, which are closely watched because they exclude volatile food and energy costs, are expected to return to a four-decade peak.
Economists have estimated that the government’s consumer price index jumped 8.1% in September from 12 months earlier, according to a survey by the data provider FactSet. That is a distressingly large gain, though below the 9.1% year-over-year peak that was reached in June.
Core prices are estimated to have risen 0.4% from August to September, slower than the previous month but still a much faster pace than was typical before the pandemic. Measured over the past 12 months, core prices are forecast to have surged 6.5%, up from 6.3% in August. That’s far above the 2% inflation that the Federal Reserve has long set as its target rate.
Thursday’s report will provide the final inflation figures before the Nov. 8 midterm elections after a campaign season in which spiking prices across the economy have fed widespread public anxiety, with many Republicans casting blame on President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats.
Inflation has escalated families’ grocery bills, rents and utility costs, among many other expenses, inflicting hardships on households and deepening gloom about the economy despite strong job growth and historically low unemployment.
As the election nears, Americans are increasingly taking a dim view of their finances, according to a new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Roughly 46% of people now describe their personal financial situation as poor, up from 37% in March. That sizable drop contrasts with the mostly steady readings that had lasted through the pandemic.
The September inflation report, whatever it shows, isn’t likely to change the Fed’s plans to keep hiking rates aggressively in an effort to wrest inflation under control. The Fed has boosted its key short-term rate by 3 percentage points since March, the fastest pace of hikes since the early 1980s. Those increases are intended to raise borrowing costs for mortgages, auto loans and business loans and cool inflation by slowing the economy.
Minutes from the Fed’s most recent meeting in late September showed that many policymakers have yet to see any progress in their fight against inflation. The officials projected that they would raise their benchmark rate by an additional 1.25 percentage points over their next two meetings in November and December. Doing so would put the Fed’s key rate at its highest level in 14 years.
Along with lower gas prices, economists expect to see that the prices of used cars tumbled in September after small declines the previous two months. Wholesale used car prices have dropped for most of this year, though the declines have yet to show up in consumer inflation data. (Used vehicle prices had soared in 2021 after factory shutdowns and supply chain shortages reduced production.)
Large retailers, too, have started offering early discounts for the holiday shopping season, after having amassed excess stockpiles of clothes, furniture and other goods earlier this year. Those price cuts might have lowered inflation in September or will do so in the coming months.
Walmart has said it will offer steep discounts on such items as toys, home goods, electronics and beauty. Target began offering holiday deals earlier this month.
Yet prices for services — particularly rents and housing costs — are remaining persistently high and will likely take much longer to come down. Health care services, education and even veterinary services are still rising rapidly in price.
“Services price increases tend to be more persistent than increases in the prices of goods,” Raphael Bostic, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, noted in remarks last week.
Rising rental costs are a tricky issue for the Fed. Real-time data from websites such as ApartmentList suggest that rents on new leases are starting to decline.
But the government’s measure tracks all rent payments — not just those for new leases — and most of them don’t change from month to month. Economists say it could be a year or longer before the declines in new leases feed through to government data.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — It’s 2022, and rapper and businessman Sean “Diddy” Combs is investing in Rochester’s cannabis infrastructure. According to a release from Cresco Labs, Combs, perhaps best known for his record “No Way Out,” is buying $185 million of assets from Cresco Labs and Columbia Care.
The deal is expected to close in 2023, according to Cresco Labs. Combs would be purchasing Rochester Columbia Care retail and production assets. The dispensary is on West Ridge Road in Rochester.
The purchase also includes assets from other parts of New York, Massachusetts, and Illinois.
“My mission has always been to create opportunities for Black entrepreneurs in industries where we’ve traditionally been denied access, and this acquisition provides the immediate scale and impact needed to create a more equitable future in cannabis,” Combs said in a statement.

DRIPPING SPRINGS, Texas – A Texas lottery player has had more luck than most, scoring a million-dollar jackpot after previously winning $20,000 in a different lottery scratch ticket game.
“I didn’t believe it,” the claimant told the Texas Lottery. “I thought there was a mistake, because I couldn’t find the 10th word. My 10th word was ‘Aha.’ I called a friend to verify. I thought if I couldn’t find the 10th word, the prize would be $20,000 instead of $1 million – which would still have been a good prize.”
The winner, who elected to remain anonymous, scratched his way to the top prize in the $1,000,000 Crossword game.
“I won $20,000 in 2008 off another scratch-off,” the claimant said in a press release from the lottery.
He told lottery officials he plans to quit his job and budget the rest of his winnings.
“If I’m frugal, I should be able to live work-free for the rest of my life,” he said.
He purchased the ticket on Feb. 21 after purchasing the ticket at the H-E-B in Dripping Springs, located at 598 E. Highway 290.
There are now three top prizes left in the lottery scratch game.
Overall odds of winning any prize in the game are one in 3.41, including break-even prizes. | 2023-03-01T15:43:43+00:00 | ksat.com | https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2023/03/01/dripping-springs-lottery-player-wins-1-million-after-previously-winning-20k/ |
