Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz’s campaign has seized on Democratic opponent John Fetterman’s silence on debates to continue attacking Fetterman for supposedly hiding from voters.
Oz has agreed to five debates, including one scheduled in less than two weeks, but Fetterman, who suffered a stroke on May 13 and only returned to the campaign trail earlier this month, has yet to commit to any debates.
“John is up for debating Oz and contrasting his plan and record with Dr. Oz so that Pennsylvania voters can get a real sense of where the candidates stand, but not on Oz’s desperate terms and timeline,” said Rebecca Katz, a Fetterman campaign senior advisor.
“This is just an obvious attempt to change the subject during yet another disastrous week for Dr. Oz,” Katz said.
So far, Oz has agreed to debates sponsored by:
- KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh, Sept. 6
- WFMZ-TV in Allentown and the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce, Sept. 9
- Nexstar, which owns several TV stations in the state, on Oct. 5
- Fox 29 in Philadelphia with Spotlight PA, date to be determined
- WGAL-TV in Harrisburg, date to be determined
In addition to an Aug. 12 rally in Erie, Fetterman, the state’s lieutenant governor, made an appearance earlier this week at a United Steelworkers rally in Pittsburgh, but he did not take any questions from reporters.
“Dr. Oz has agreed to five debates. John Fetterman has agreed to zero debates,” said Brittany Yanick, Oz’s communications director, in a statement on Monday.
“If John is too sick to debate and is concerned he cannot stand in front of cameras for more than 10 minutes, then he should just say so,” Yanick said. “We’re sure voters would understand and so would we.”
On Wednesday, the Oz campaign stepped up its efforts, releasing a statement that included a Twitter post by Fetterman during the Democratic primary.
“Debates are an important part of this primary,” Fetterman wrote, committing to three televised debates.
I agree! https://t.co/yiovryNQqX
— Dr. Mehmet Oz (@DrOz) August 23, 2022
Oz’s campaign also dug up tweets from Fetterman’s primary opponents -- state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta and U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb of Allegheny County – razzing Fetterman for missing debates.
Late Wednesday, Oz made an appearance on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show during which she played a clip of Fetterman’s address to steelworkers with the chyron reading, “Fetterman mumbles and stumbles through speech.”
“The question we’re asking is a legitimate one,” Oz told Ingraham. “Are you hiding because you don’t want to talk about your radical views or is it because your health is such a problem? And, if it’s the stroke you had that’s causing issues, come talk to us. Let’s figure out some way that we can have a debate.” | 2022-08-25T22:25:12+00:00 | pennlive.com | https://www.pennlive.com/news/2022/08/oz-pounces-on-fetterman-for-not-committing-to-any-debates-come-talk-to-us.html |
Despite supply chain issues that have affected the entire auto industry, Volkswagen claims to have reached a delivery goal for its ID-family electric cars early.
VW on Monday said it had passed 500,000 global deliveries of ID models since the first European-market ID.3 hatchbacks were handed over to customers in October 2020. It claims to have reached this goal a year earlier than originally planned, with 135,000 vehicles on order still yet to be delivered.
U.S. deliveries are a small portion of that, but local assembly of the ID.4 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, brings VW closer to the “EV for millions” mantra it’s espoused since the electric crossover’s launch. The ID.4 is the only ID model currently sold in the U.S.; Europe also gets the aforementioned ID.3, as well as the ID.5, while China gets the ID.6.
All of these models are based on the MEB platform, which is the heart of VW’s push for volume EV production. And it’s already updating the platform for faster charging, longer range, and higher power.
VW plans to launch 10 new EVs by 2026. For the U.S., that will include the ID.Buzz electric van, which is scheduled to arrive here in 2024 well after its European launch, as well as a premium electric flagship sedan previewed by the ID.Aero concept. An affordable model with a base price of under 25,000 euros ($25,825 at current exchange rates) is also planned, but hasn’t been confirmed for the U.S.
VW said it will produce only EVs in Europe from 2033, and expects EVs to make up 70% of its European sales by 2030. Targets for the U.S. and China are lower; VW is targeting a market share of “more than 50%” EVs by 2030.

Along with being a pastor, I also drive a school bus. It would take another article, or a book, to cover the many heartwarming and heartbreaking situations I have encountered with my student passengers. Recently, a 9-year-old girl boarded my bus one morning, and I could tell she was upset. “What’s wrong? Is there anything I can do?” I asked.
“We’ve been kicked out of our apartment.” She said, as she wiped tears from her eyes.
“I am so sorry to hear that.” I said. “Have a seat and let’s get you to school.” She sat down and we finished picking up the other students. I later spoke with the teacher who assists at the school bus stop and told her what had happened. The next day I found out the little girl and her family were staying with friends.
This scenario is a microcosm of what takes place every day. Even as I write this, someone is being evicted, is hungry, has overdosed, or experienced a form of personal tragedy. The needs all around us can seem overwhelming.
People are also reading…
Consider Jesus’ words in Matthew 26:11: “The poor you will always have with you.” Our Lord’s words have always been true, but I cannot recall a time when they were more apparent than today. I think about the little girl on my bus, now homeless, and countless others like her.
I have reached a point where I spend less time thinking about what leads people to homelessness, drug addiction, alcoholism, and toxic relationships and instead examine what can be done for them right now. I have talked with many people in these situations, so I know how they got there. The question becomes then, how I can help? How can I help empower them to get their lives back on track? Someone is liable to ask why help them at all. They made their bed, now let them lie in it, right? My Christian faith and my conscience will not allow such a casual dismissal of human need. As Jesus’ followers, Christ compels us to act. What can we do? First, we begin with compassion. Jesus never condemned people for being in the circumstances they were in, but rather he reached out to them with hope and healing. As a gospel song once said, “Don’t tell them Jesus loves them until you’re ready to love them too.” Also, homeless shelters and agencies that help people in our communities always need volunteers.
Someday, I will stand before God. I desire to hear the Lord say, “I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.” (Matthew 25:35–36)

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) ordered flags at the U.S. Capitol to be flown at half-staff to honor Queen Elizabeth II, who died on Thursday at the age of 96.
“Speaker Pelosi has ordered the flags at the U.S. Capitol to be flown at half-staff due to the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II,” Pelosi spokesperson Drew Hammill wrote on Twitter.
The royal family announced the queen’s death on Twitter Thursday afternoon after Buckingham Palace earlier that day said she was “under medical supervision” following evaluation because doctors were “concerned for Her Majesty’s health.”
“The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow,” the royal family wrote.
Elizabeth assumed the role of queen in 1952, when she was 27 years old, after her father’s death. Her reign spanned 15 prime ministers and 14 U.S. presidents, the first being Harry Truman. She met 13 of the 14 American leaders, with the exception of Lyndon Johnson.
In May 1991, Queen Elizabeth delivered an address to a joint meeting of Congress, becoming the first British monarch to address the legislative chambers.
A number of congressional lawmakers released statements on Thursday mourning the queen’s loss.
“Today, Americans join the people of the United Kingdom in mourning the sad passing of Queen Elizabeth II,” Pelosi wrote in a statement. “Over her seven decades on the throne, Her Majesty was a pillar of leadership in the global arena and a devoted friend of freedom. On behalf of the United States Congress, I extend our deepest and most sincere condolences to the Royal Family during this sad time.”
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in a statement said, “The British people’s loss is the entire world’s loss.”
“Elaine and I extend our deepest sympathies to the Royal Family and to the many millions of people across the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth, and the entire world who have drawn reassurance and inspiration from her historic reign, sterling character, and shining example,” he added. | 2022-09-08T23:35:49+00:00 | localsyr.com | https://www.localsyr.com/hill-politics/pelosi-orders-capitol-flags-at-half-staff-to-honor-queen-elizabeth/ |

MANCHESTER, Vt., June 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Former Governor Mike Huckabee and Huck PAC today announce their endorsement of Myers Mermel for U.S. Senate in Vermont. In offering his endorsement, Governor Huckabee cited Mermel's commitment to fighting high taxes, inflation, high gasoline prices, and high food prices.
"I am pleased to endorse Myers Mermel for the U.S. Senate in Vermont. I have known Myers for fourteen years. He worked on my 2008 campaign, and we even took a trade trip to Japan together to meet with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. He is the only conservative I have endorsed in New England so far this cycle because he is the only conservative capable of beating the Democrat party there. He is the clear conservative choice in Vermont."
"As one who had to run in a state dominated by Democrats (91% of elected officials in AR were Democrats when I ran), I know that you need to run with innovative ideas and be a different kind of conservative that focuses on solving real problems. Myers can be trusted to do this. He is a new kind of conservative."
"I ask that all conservatives unite behind Myers because he is our only chance to defeat Peter Welch and his ultra-liberal democrat policies. We cannot afford to split the conservative vote in the primary, nor can we afford to vote for liberal Republicans who will not advance our values. We need to vote to stand squarely behind Myers in the primary so he can take the fight to Peter Welch and win. Myers has the intellect, wisdom and experience needed to be a great Senator."
"Myers is a strong defender of the Second Amendment for all Vermonters. I know this from the times we have hunted ducks together. Myers is also a strong supporter of law enforcement and will ensure resources are available for them to hire more officers and continue to keep Vermonters safe in the face of rising crime and the removal of resources from the police."
"Governor Mike Huckabee embodies the conservative principles and values that I have defended over my lifetime," said Myers Mermel. "In my campaign and if I am elected to be Vermont's next Senator, I will continue to challenge failed liberal policies which have brought us severe inflation, excessive federal debt, crushing federal regulations, and a likely recession. I will limit the size and scope of government spending, while offering solutions to make Vermont a job creator not a job exporter. I'm grateful for Governor Huckabee's support and for his efforts in fighting back against an ever-expanding federal government and its inflationary spending."
Myers Mermel received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Vermont, a Master of Arts in American History from Columbia University, and a Master of Divinity from Yale University. He has had a thirty-five-year career in commercial real estate finance and banking. For more information on Myers Mermel and his campaign for Senate, visit www.myersmermel.com

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Having just come off an incredible, award-winning run for her starring performance in the dramatic short film Apart, Together, actress, singer & lyricist, Shavvon Lin, has announced her new single "Enough for Love" will be released on September 9th, with her full EP soon following.
Reminiscent of '90s R&B, Lin's sensual and melodic vocals soar over a tranquil beat as she tackles lyrics pertaining to relationship insecurities.
Hardly a novice to the music scene, Lin lent her vocal talents for a handful of songs featured in China's hit TV series, First Half of My Life, and furthered her musical efforts on a collaboration with rap group Straight Fire Gang for the song, "24 Years". As a solo artist, Lin's first official release was her 2020 single, "Love Me Later," an explosive future bass anthem that showcased a promising taste of what was to come from Shavvon Lin as a pop artist. The song was part one of an additional upcoming EDM trilogy EP releasing later this year.
Although music is currently taking a front seat, the talented Asian beauty is equally as passionate about her acting career. In 2021, Lin won eight Best Actress awards at prestigious film festivals across the globe for her poignant and nuanced performance in Apart, Together. This included the Independent Shorts Awards, the London Independent Film Awards, and the New York Indie Shorts Awards.
Tackling the complex topic of China's controversial one-child policy, Apart, Together finds Lin playing the lead role of Yiru, a Chinese teenager who travels to America in search of her long lost sister.
Born in Guangzhou, China, Shavvon Lin moved to Los Angeles at the age of 18 to study film and communications at UCLA. She made her film debut in the independent short, False Awakening (2014), and later went on to star in A Better World (2015), Alibi (2016), and Good Night Butterfly (2017).
Apart from a thriving acting and singing career, Lin enjoys writing and is the co-editor and translator of the book series, New Wave of Acting.
Be sure to watch Shavvon Lin's acting reel.
To interview Shavvon Lin, contact Eileen Koch of EKC PR, a full-service Branding, Marketing and Public Relations firm at 310-441-1000 or eileen@ekcpr.com.

(KTLA) — Pop star Pink is the latest singer to have a fan throw an object on stage during her performance.
Over the weekend, Pink headlined the British Summer Time Hyde Park Festival.
During her performance of “Just Like a Pill,” a fan tossed a baggie with a note that indicated the contents inside were of the person’s dead mother.
A video of the interaction was posted to Twitter, with the caption that read “Someone gave their mother’s ashes to Pink. I need y’all to have boundaries, like girl what?”
In the video, you can see the singer squatting down to pick up the baggie and holding it up asking “Is this your mom?” With a shocked look on her face, she quickly responded by saying “I don’t know how I feel about this!”
She then slowly walks the bag to the front of the stage, behind the speakers, as an uneasy look washes over her face. The “So What” singer is seen shaking out her fingers to clean her hands discreetly.
People on social media immediately weighed in.
“She handled it well cause I’d definitely be mad that someone handed me their mom’s ashes,” one user tweeted. “I just saw another video of a guy coming out to his mom in front of Bebe Rexha so yes boundaries! I understand why some celebrities are standoffish now.”
“Maybe that was her mom’s request, mom probably was a die-hard fan,” tweeted another user.
The incident comes a week after singer Bebe Rexha received a black eye after a fan threw a cell phone at her while performing in New York City. A day later, pop star Ava Max was slapped by a stage-jumping fan during a Los Angeles show. Max said via Twitter “he slapped me so hard that he scratched the inside of my eye.”
Less-threatening artist-audience interaction has become increasingly common, with artists like Harry Styles and Beyoncé helping fans make baby announcements during their current tours.
As of Tuesday, Pink had not discussed the ashes incident, though she tweeted favorably about the outcome of the Hyde Park show, saying, “These reviews are crazy. I don’t even know what to say other than I am humbled and grateful. I love doing this with all of you. It is my life and my love and I am grateful beyond belief.” | 2023-06-27T19:25:14+00:00 | pix11.com | https://pix11.com/news/us-world-news/fan-throws-moms-ashes-at-pink-onstage-i-dont-know-how-i-feel-about-this/ |

The International Criminal Court on Friday issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin and another Russian official involving allegations of war crimes around the unlawful deportation of children from Ukraine to Russia.
The arrest warrant likely marks one of the first charges against Putin for war crimes in Ukraine, part of a global effort to hold the Russian president and the Russian Federation accountable for atrocities beginning with the full-scale February invasion.
An arrest warrant was also issued for Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova, commissioner for Children’s Rights in the Office of the President of the Russian Federation, who the ICC alleges “bears individual criminal responsibility” for the forced deportation of Ukrainian children from Russian-occupied territory to Russia.

Get ready for a close encounter of the celestial kind. On the afternoon of Jan. 26, the tiny asteroid 2023 BU will whiz only about 2,175 miles (3,500 km) from the Earth's surface. Before you bolt from your chair to get your affairs in order, know that the flyby will be perfectly safe. Even if by some chance the asteroid did strike the planet, it's so small — only about 16 feet across (3 meters) — it would shatter to bits in the atmosphere.
Small, automobile-size objects like 2023 BU are numerous and impact the planet about once a year . Crashing into the atmosphere at tens of thousands of miles an hour, they fragment and sometimes reach the ground as meteorites. These stones from space are eagerly sought by scientists and enthusiasts alike. In fact, on Jan. 21, hundreds of people across Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas reported a brilliant fireball that fortuitously dropped meteorites a few miles south of Muskogee. Coincidentally, that was the same date that amateur astronomer Gennadiy Borisov discovered 2023 BU.
When closest to Earth, the asteroid will fly over the ocean west of the southern tip of South America. Just prior to that it should be visible through a small telescope in dark skies over Namibia and South Africa, traveling at some 21,000 miles per hour (9.3 km/sec). Although Earth's gravity will change the object's orbit, it's moving much too quickly to get "sucked in" by the planet's gravity. After passing by safely, 2023 BU will obediently follow its orbit around the sun.
Still, it will be a close shave. Consider that the geosychronous satellites — the ones that relay communications and data around the globe — are located in a belt around the Earth some 22,200 miles (37,000 km) away. 2023 BU will briefly come 10 times closer. The audacity! Astronomer Gianluca Masi plans to live stream the the encounter on virtualtelescope.eu starting at 1:15 p.m. Central Time on Jan. 26. Stop by for a look if you can.
While few of us will directly see this car-sized rock, you can look at a different one with just a pair of binoculars. Pallas , the third largest asteroid known with a diameter of 318 miles (512 km), is sailing through the constellation of Canis Major the Big Dog this month. Sailing might be an exaggeration. More like creeping. Each night it moves about half-a-full-moon diameter to north-northwest, an amount easily noticeable in 8x or 10x binoculars or in any telescope.

Pallas shines at magnitude 7.6 or about the same as the planet Neptune. While you can't see it with the naked eye, binoculars will show it as a faint star from outer suburban areas and the countryside. German astronomer Heinrich Olbers discovered the object in March 1802 and named it for Pallas, an alternate name for Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom.
The asteroid spins on its axis once in 7.8 hours and circles the sun every 4.6 years. Its orbit is steeply inclined to the solar system plane, the reason Pallas lies so far from the ecliptic , the path the planets, sun and moon follow through the zodiac constellations.
While we're on the topic of the ecliptic, the waxing moon marches ever higher above the western horizon this week. As it does it will encounter each planet in turn. On Wednesday, Jan. 25 the banana crescent will be in conjunction with the planet Jupiter and make a beautiful sight at dusk. No telescope needed.

World Cup host nation Qatar said Tuesday it will count emissions produced from daily flights ferrying fans during the tournament between the Gulf emirates toward the event’s overall carbon footprint.
Qatar claims the monthlong tournament kicking off Sunday will be “carbon neutral,” but environmental experts have questioned how rigorous its plan to count and offset all the event's emissions is.
There had been questions in recent months when airliners including Qatar Airways and FlyDubai said they would increase the number of daily flights between Doha and nearby Gulf cities to transport thousands of fans spending the night outside Qatar.
The host nation is smaller than the U.S. state of Connecticut and does not have enough hotel rooms to accommodate the tournament's more than 1.2 million expected fans.
Qatar’s environment minister Sheikh Faleh bin Nasser bin Ahmed bin Ali Al Thani told The Associated Press that the emissions of the daily flights would be counted.
Speaking in Egypt at the U.N. climate conference, Sheikh Faleh said he was certain Qatar would “lead the standard” in achieving a climate-friendly sporting event.
Qatar is one of the world's top exporters of liquefied natural gas. Last year, it outlined a national climate change action plan aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2030.
Sheikh Faleh told delegates at the COP27 meeting that Qatar would continue “working to translate these ambitions to facts.”

AMARILLO, Texas (AP) — A gunman shot three people, including two first responders, at the Tri-State Fair & Rodeo in Texas before he was shot and wounded by sheriff’s deputies, authorities said.
Just before 11 p.m. Monday, a man opened fire on Potter County deputies working off-duty at the fair in Amarillo, Potter County Sheriff Brian Thomas said.
Thomas said the “male suspect opened fire on the deputies, striking a deputy and an off-duty firefighter, also working at the fair, and a bystander.” Deputies returned fire, wounding the suspect.
The deputy, firefighter and bystander were transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, authorities said. The gunman was taken to the hospital with injuries that were described as life-threatening.
Thomas did not identify any of the victims or the suspect. He did not offer a motive for the shooting, which is being investigated by the Texas Rangers.

New data shows that many parents of school-aged children believe that technical advances can make school buses safer, more efficient, and better for the environment
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Zūm, the leader in modern student transportation, today released its first annual commissioned survey, the Student Transportation Report Card: A Parental Review, which found that when it comes to the school bus system, parents in America are most concerned about their child's safety during a ride (34%), followed by COVID-19 infections (18%) and the lack of tracking and visibility (10%). At a time when transparency and agility rule the day in other industries, school busing has been slow to modernize. The majority of respondents (64%) agree that today's school bus system is antiquated and in need of technical advancements to make it safer, more efficient, and better for the environment.
Parents have become accustomed to having information and personalization available at the tips of their fingers. From apps that keep track of a child's healthcare updates, to phones and tablets that allow parents to tailor and monitor what their kids can watch. Yet, they still have little to no visibility into the school bus ride their children take five days a week.
"Zum's vision for the future of student transportation is infused with flexibility, efficiency and transparency. The survey results revealed that two in three parents with school-aged children think that knowing if and when their child got on or off their school bus should be as easy as knowing if and when a package was delivered," said Ritu Narayan, CEO and founder of Zum. "We remain steadfast in our mission to modernize student transportation with tech-driven solutions, and this research reinforces the need for an entirely new and reimagined school bus experience for our kids, families, drivers and districts."
In addition to their child's safety during a ride topping the list of parents' concerns about the school bus system, according to the research, parents worry about their child's experience on the bus, with 41% of respondents saying they were most concerned about bullying and fighting.
Additionally, parents are still reeling from the pandemic, with nearly half (48%) of respondents noting that they are very or extremely concerned about COVID-19 infection and spread on school buses.
Student transportation is the largest mass transit system in the U.S., with 27 million students traveling twice a day. Yet, the traditional system is often the cause of inefficiencies across districts as well as inequity among students. Parents noted the following changes would be a welcomed change to the system:
- Rethinking routing: Fifty-eight percent of respondents surveyed think school bus commute times are unnecessarily long for school-aged children. More than half (55%) of respondents believe that inefficient routes and lack of resources cause kids to sit on the bus for too much time each day, and nearly half (48%) agree that long commute times on school buses are harmful to school-aged children's mental health and wellbeing.
- Building flexible schedules: More than half (53%) of respondents say school bus systems do not provide working parents with enough flexibility for their child's pick-up and drop-off schedules.
Transportation accounts for the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S., with over 90% of the nation's 500,000 school buses running on diesel. These buses emit noxious exhaust, and 45% of respondents are very or extremely concerned about environmental issues that stem from diesel school bus fumes creating harmful air quality for students and communities. Another 51% believe that children who ride the school bus have a health risk due to their exposure to diesel exhaust and harmful pollutants created by the bus. To improve on school transportation's sustainability efforts, more than half (54%) of respondents agree that electric vehicles and electric school buses should replace diesel-polluting school buses.
"As a mother myself, I know the feeling of frustration with having no control or visibility into the means of transportation responsible for providing kids the access they need to get their education," Narayan continued. "Improving upon the largest flaws in the student transportation experience before, during and after the ride to meet the needs of today's kids, parents, school districts and drivers remains the driving force at Zum."
The full commissioned survey, 2022's Student Transportation Report Card: A Parental Review," is available at https://www.ridezum.com/state-of-student-transportation-2022/
All data found within this report is derived from a survey by Zum conducted online via survey platform Pollfish from April 28-30, 2022. In total, 3,500 adult American parents with school-aged children were surveyed.
Zum has reimagined student transportation, the nation's largest mass transit system. Our integrated end-to-end cloud-based platform provides a modern service for school districts purpose-built around the needs of kids and the expectations of their families. Zum provides one seamless, real-time interface for parents, drivers, schools, districts, administrators, and operators, to transport children safely and with increased visibility and personalized care. Our multi-sized vehicle approach includes an electric vehicle-first commitment, reduces student commute times by up to 20%, and coupled with our marketplace, delivers added fleet efficiency and optimization. We have been driving the industry forward since 2015, and with more than 8 million miles completed to date.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Several Virginia incumbents prevailed over challengers in Tuesday’s primary election, but two of the state’s most controversial political figures — Democratic Sen. Joe Morrissey and Republican Sen. Amanda Chase — lost their party’s nomination.
Morrissey, a political centrist and increasingly rare Democrat who supports limits on abortion access, lost to former state legislator Lashrecse Aird, who centered her campaign on her unapologetic, “100%” support for abortion rights.
“Joe’s been here too long. It’s time for new blood,” said Gail Coleman, 62, who voted for Aird Tuesday afternoon in suburban Richmond.
Chase, a right-wing firebrand who has served in the Senate since 2016 and embraced falsehoods about the 2020 presidential election, was edged out by Glen Sturtevant, a lawyer and former member of the chamber seeking a political comeback in the red-leaning suburban Richmond district.
Dozens of other races took place around the state, including in some swing districts that will help determine the balance of power in the General Assembly in the general election. Virginia, where the Legislature is currently politically divided, is one of the few states that holds its legislative races in odd-numbered years. With its unusual calendar and quasi-swing state status, the state’s results are often closely watched for hints of voter sentiment heading into the following year’s midterm or presidential cycle.
Both parties and both chambers had competitive contests on the ballot, and an unusually high number of sitting officeholders faced serious challenges in an election season upended by new political maps.
This year marks the first cycle in which legislative candidates are running in districts created during the redistricting process that ended in late 2021. The new maps were drawn by outside experts without regard to incumbent protection. That’s contributed to a wave of retirements by many of the General Assembly’s veteran lawmakers and diminished the name-recognition advantage for incumbents, some of whom ran in almost entirely new districts.
The losses by Chase and Morrissey will add to the already lofty turnover.
In another high-profile race, Democrat L. Louise Lucas, a veteran legislator, knocked off another incumbent, fellow Sen. Lionell Spruill. The race in the heavily Democratic Hampton Roads seat was one of only two featuring current officeholders from the same chamber running against one another. It was marked by particularly sharp personal attacks lobbed on social media and in TV ads.
Lucas, who has served in the Senate since 1992, campaigned as a fighter. She donned boxing gloves in some ads, promising to take on Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin.
“MOMMA SAID KNOCK YOU OUT!” she tweeted.
In a contentious Republican contest for a southwest Virginia House seat, freshman Del. Wren Williams defeated fellow Del. Marie March. In northern Virginia, former CIA officer Russet Perry secured the Democratic nomination in a Senate seat expected to be a key battleground in the general election.
Elsewhere, incumbents easily cruised past challengers. Democratic Sen. Lamont Bagby handily defeated Katie Gooch in a Richmond-area race, and Sen. Dave Marsden defeated Heidi Drauschak, who was backed by the big-spending advocacy group Clean Virginia.
In a Charlottesville-anchored seat, Democratic Sen. Creigh Deeds fended off a spirited challenge from Sally Hudson, a member of the House of Delegates. Deeds, a respected advocate on mental health issues, campaigned as a pragmatic progressive, arguing that his experience and relationships in Richmond would be a boon to his constituents, an argument echoed by other incumbents.
Other competitive contests had not yet been called late Tuesday, including matchups in northern Virginia featuring Democratic incumbents facing off against progressive challengers. Sens. George Barker, Jeremy McPike and Chap Petersen were all seen as having some degree of vulnerability.
Among Republicans, Chase was the only Senate incumbent to face a challenge Tuesday. She campaigned as a champion of gun rights and other conservative values. She also persistently repeated former President Donald Trump’s falsehoods about widespread fraud in the 2020 election.
Although Chase had campaigned with Youngkin after unsuccessfully seeking the party’s nomination for governor herself in 2021, Youngkin did not endorse her in the race. Nor did he wade into an eight-way Senate contest in the Shenandoah Valley won by farmer Timmy French.
But the night went especially well for other candidates the governor backed. All of the seven on the ballot Tuesday won their nomination contests. The three others in competitive races he backed had won party-run nominations earlier.
In the central Virginia Senate nomination contest with Morrissey, Aird was powered to victory with the help of an unusual number of legislators and members of the state’s congressional delegation who endorsed her. She also far outspent Morrissey, who ran a scrappy operation with no official campaign manager.
A disbarred attorney with a long history of personal and professional controversies, Morrissey has long supported some abortion access but in recent years had expressed a willingness to vote with Republicans to enact stricter limits.
Until this race, Morrissey had time and again overcome personal controversies to win elected office. As he campaigned for office this year, he faced allegations of mistreatment and physical abuse by his decades-younger estranged wife, which he strenuously denied.
Despite those headwinds, many observers were unwilling to count him out because of his long-established reputation as an effective grassroots campaigner who takes care of bread-and-butter issues for constituents. Morrissey conceded to Aird.
Aird, who works in higher education administration, will head into the general election season as the favorite in the blue leaning district south and east of Richmond.
In a statement, she thanked voters for refusing to “accept the status quo.”
“In Richmond, I’ll be a firewall for our reproductive rights in the face of Republican extremists who think they have the right to make decisions about our own bodies,” she said.

BARCELONA, Spain — (AP) — Pop star Shakira is facing more trouble from Spain’s tax office after a court near Barcelona said Thursday that it had agreed to open an investigation into a second case of alleged tax fraud by the Colombian singer.
Shakira is already set to face trial at a date to be determined for allegedly failing to pay 14.5 million euros ($13.9 million) in taxes on income earned between 2012 and 2014. The entertainer has denied any wrongdoing.
Now, a Spanish judge has agreed with state prosecutors to probe two possible cases of tax fraud by Shakira from 2018. The court said it had no information on how much money was in question.
Both cases are being handled by a court in the town of Esplugues de Llobregat, near Barcelona.
The first case that is set to go to trial hinges on where Shakira lived during 2012-14. Prosecutors in Barcelona have alleged the Grammy winner spent more than half of that period in Spain and should have paid taxes in the country, even though her official residence was in the Bahamas.
Shakira, whose full name is Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, has been linked to Spain since she started dating the now-retired soccer player Gerard Pique. The couple, who have two children, lived together in Barcelona until last year, when they ended their 11-year relationship.
Spain has cracked down on soccer stars like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo over the past decade for not paying their full due in taxes. They were found guilty of evasion but both avoided prison time thanks to a provision that allows a judge to waive sentences under two years in length for first-time offenders.

Associated Press/Report for America
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — In Mississippi’s capital city, where intermittent periods without running water have become a fact of life for residents, a new disruption to the long-troubled water system persists just days before lawmakers are set to arrive for the state’s 2023 legislative session.
Amid frigid weather that upended infrastructure across the Deep South, pipes in Jackson broke and the city’s water distribution system failed to produce adequate pressure. Crews have spent days working to identify leaks, but pressure still hasn’t been fully restored and a boil water notice remained in place Friday.
City leaders said the water system remains vulnerable to weather-related disruptions, and Jackson-area legislators face the prospect of returning home from the Capitol building each evening without access to water in their homes.
Democratic state Rep. Ronnie Crudup Jr., who has represented south Jackson since 2019, was preparing for the Legislature’s upcoming return to session on January 3. Then, on Dec. 24 — just three months after a breakdown in Jackson’s water system left many in the city of about 150,000 without water to drink, cook, bathe and flush toilets — it happened again.
On Christmas Eve, after the last of Crudup’s running water went down the drain, his spirits sunk along with it.
“I’m normally very optimistic in pretty much all situations, but this latest water situation is getting the best of me,” Crudup wrote in a Dec. 26 social media post. “Y’all pray for me and my Jackson neighbors. I know if I’m struggling, others are also.”
Local officials are contending with an “old, crumbling system that continues to offer challenge after challenge,” said Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba. The city’s latest water woes follow a 2021 winter storm that left people without running water for days after pipes froze. The water system partially collapsed again in late August after flooding overwhelmed one of the city’s water treatment plants.
In early September, Crudup could have often been seen handing out cases of bottled water as the late summer sun baked the parking lot of the New Horizon Church, which his father, Rev. Ronnie Crudup Sr., founded in 1987. His t-shirt of choice during those long afternoons was emblazoned with the motto he applied to the task at hand: “Embrace the grind.”
On September 15, water pressure was restored to most of the city and the citywide boil water notice was temporarily lifted, only for issues to resume three months later. Crudup began to feel the burden of successive periods in which a basic necessity became a scarce resource for his family and his constituents.
“As a man, how am I to take care of my family in the midst of this? As a political leader, how do I serve my constituents? All of my feelings were internalized and I didn’t have any method of getting all that out,” Crudup told The Associated Press.
After Crudup’s brother saw his Dec. 26 social media post, he picked up the phone with a set of questions.
“Why are you frustrated? Why are you feeling this way?” Crudup recounts his brother asking. “By him asking the right questions, I was able to talk myself through it.”
Crudup said he wants Jackson’s residents, some of whom spent the Christmas holiday looking for a place to shower, to avoid what he called “internalizing the burden.” At New Horizon Church, Crudup works closely with his father, and together they’ve talked through the strain of seeing their neighbors at the mercy of an unreliable water system.
“You’ve got a lot of children who aren’t brushing their teeth and all these other things. Particularly dealing with a lot of the least of these who don’t have the kind of resources he or I, or other people have, it weighs on him,” Crudup Sr. said. “And we do talk about that.”
The $600 million in federal money that Jackson is set to receive for its water system has the potential to “revitalize a whole lot of the economic circumstances,” that have hindered necessary structural repairs, Crudup Sr. said.
Ted Henifin, the manager appointed by the U.S. Department of Justice to help fix the long-troubled water system, said he intends to make substantial progress over a one-year period on a list of projects that will protect the city from future disruptions.
Until then, Crudup Jr. said he will encourage Jackson residents to talk through their frustrations, just like he did.
“People are really stepping in to help their neighbors, not only physically but mentally,” he said. “We know there will be better days ahead, it’s just about making it through this last point.”

(NEXSTAR/WXIN) – Disney+ began streaming its first-ever R-rated content over the weekend, debuting the superhero flicks “Deadpool,” “Deadpool 2” and “Logan” on the streaming platform Friday.
All three films, produced by 20th Century Fox, are based on characters from Marvel Comics — but they wade into much more violent and sexual territory than most Disney-produced Marvel films would dare.
“Hurry and stream your copy of Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and Logan on @DisneyPlus starting this Friday, before someone comes to their senses and they go back in the vault forever,” the official account for the “Deadpool” film franchise tweeted in response to the news.
Previously, Disney+ had focused on family-friendly content, including only films with PG-13, PG or G ratings in its streaming library. Even some of those films, which may have included negative depictions of certain cultures or racist stereotypes, were accompanied by an additional disclaimer warning viewers of problematic content.
For instance, “The Aristocats” is preceded by an advisory because of a “racist caricature of East Asian peoples,” and “Peter Pan” got one because its portrayal of Native Americans “reflects neither the diversity of Native peoples nor their authentic cultural traditions,” the Walt Disney Company explained.
In other cases, certain content was censored — including Daryl Hannah’s nude buttocks in “Splash,” which were digitally covered up when they appeared on Disney+.
Disney+, however, began paving the way for more mature content back in March, according to Deadline, by expanding “into TV-MA/R territory by updating its existing Parental Controls in the U.S.” Along with the new parental controls, Disney+ added several Marvel series to its library, including the TV-MA-rated “Daredevil,” “Jessica Jones” and “Luke Cage,” among other Marvel series that were previously on Netflix, the outlet reported.
While the streaming service’s newest content might delight “Deadpool” and “Logan” fans, one group decidedly not so delighted includes the Parents Television and Media Council, which claims that Disney+ broke its “promise” to parents.
“While Disney+ points subscribers to its parental controls, the mere presence of R-rated and TV-MA rated content violates the trust and sensibilities of families,” Tim Winter, the organization’s president, said in part in a statement released Friday. “What took decades to build is now taking mere months to erase.”
The stars of “Deadpool” and “Logan,” meanwhile, had a bit of a different take.
Hugh Jackman, the star of “Logan,” posted a picture of him and “Deadpool” star Ryan Reynolds hugging on the set of the latter, with the caption, “Thank you @disneyplus for adding brothers-in-arms @deadpoolmovie and #Logan as the first R-Rated movies on the platform. While your choice is questionable, we’ll take it.”
Reynolds also responded on social media, sharing a comical post that suggested several other “family-friendly” Disney films — including “Bambi,” “Old Yeller” and even “The Lion King,” are much more gruesome than they might seem.
“We’re supposed to announce Logan and Deadpool will soon be the first R-Rated movies on Disney+,” Reynolds wrote. “But we all know some Disney movies should already be rated R for irreversible trauma.” | 2022-07-26T15:43:09+00:00 | wnct.com | https://www.wnct.com/entertainment-news/disney-adds-3-r-rated-movies-to-platform/ |

As a Korean American adoptee raised in Oregon by a white family, Nicole Chung spent years knowing nothing of her biological family. But after she became pregnant, she began the search for her birth family. That journey has inspired much of her writing.
That's how she described her experience on NPR in 2018, in an interview about her debut memoir, All You Can Ever Know, which narrates her adoption journey and highlights the challenges she faced growing up as an adoptee in rural America.
In her latest memoir, A Living Remedy, Chung not only recounts the death of her adoptive parents but also explores the challenges of healthcare access and equity.
Both parents faced different health emergencies without insurance coverage, placing financial strain on the family.
"I remember after my father died, and where some of this book came from, was just this rage that I felt at how young he died — at 67, after years of not being able to access the type of medical care he really needed, after literally having renal failure and being denied disability," Chung told NPR's Steve Inskeep.
Her father died before her debut book was published in 2018. Two years later, her mother died of cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic. For Chung, not being able to be with her mother as she died — due to pandemic conditions — exacerbated her sadness and guilt.
Chung lays bare the complicated, often unpredictable nature of grief; how it shapes the way we remember and honor those who have died. For instance, the stories about her father in her memoir are largely conveyed through the lens of her mother, who was the storyteller. She reckons with how her grandmother managed to outlive her son, despite encountering major health challenges of her own during the tumultuous 1960s and 70s.
As a college student, Chung says she used her powers of observation both as a defense mechanism and to help her gain understanding of difference. In her writing, she employs these same skills to explore her personal experiences of grief and guilt, without rushing to conclusions or definitive answers.
Chung's memoir, which released on April 4, is an exploration of loss, belonging, and identity. The book ends on a note of forgiveness and empathy, reflecting her personal growth as an adult orphan and a writer.

Interview excerpts
On the circumstances surrounding Chung's adoption
I was born very prematurely in Washington State in the early 80s to a Korean immigrant family. They had moved to the U.S. just a couple of years before I was born, so I was the first member of that family born here. And because I was born so early, the doctors were predicting a lot of medical problems, several disabilities. They told my birth parents that I would probably never live independently and might need constant care. And my birth parents were recent immigrants; they worked 14 hours a day at their small business. They had other children at home, and they had no health insurance.
On the relationship between her adoptive parents' health problems and their inability to access healthcare
There was definitely a connection because we were often as a family, uninsured or underinsured when I was growing up. And this is another thing I knew but didn't really think about that. There were years I would go to the doctor or the dentist, and there were years where I didn't.
I didn't necessarily think about it too much until these health emergencies started accumulating – my father's diabetes and the medications he needed, and my mother's cancer, and then a series of other health issues that actually went untreated for quite a while. My mother had a costly operation when I was in high school, and that was not covered. My father had a lot of ongoing medical issues as well. And so every time that happened, you know, quite often those bills would go on a credit card, and it took many years for them to pay off, ultimately bankrupting them.
On her experience of being isolated during the pandemic and writing her memoir
My approach to writing this book, I just really had to be so patient. And I think the most important thing for a writer is curiosity. And so even though a lot of these memories or these losses hurt to revisit, I was also genuinely, deeply curious about what it would be to examine them through writing.
In my first book, I knew the beginning, middle, and end of that story, but for this memoir, that actually wasn't the case. I ended up writing and rewriting a great deal. Initially, the book was not going to focus on my mother's death as well, but while I was working on the book, she got a terminal cancer diagnosis. And I'd never intended to write a chapter that took place during the pandemic because I did not know that would happen, and everything would change.
But at that point, of course, I'm thinking about readers. I'm thinking, what do they need to know or understand in order to care, to grasp the stakes, to be kind of brought along in this story? And how will it help them perhaps think about or relate to their own lives, their own losses, their own loved ones?
On how she's coping with the loss of her parents
Now I'm doing okay. I have learned how to be okay. And I've learned how to show myself more grace partly through the experience of writing this book. And I think I have a lot more patience for my own humanity than I used to — my own limitations. I am doing much, much better than I thought I would be.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday voted 220-209 to reject the U.S. Fish and Wildlife’s decision to list the northern long-eared bat as endangered.
The bat is found in more than 30 states including Ohio. Its numbers are dwindling because of a fungal disease called white-nose syndrome which affects bats that hibernate. The fungus looks like white fuzz on bats’ muzzles and wings.
According to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, northern long-eared bats inhabit the state’s forests and woodlands in the summer. Between November and March, they hibernate in caves and abandoned mines.
ODNR says they nestle in small holes and crevices, often near other species that include little brown bats, big brown bats, eastern small-footed bats, and tri-colored bats. Since the 2011 discovery of the fungus in Ohio, some of the state’s northern long-eared bat populations have declined 97 percent, ODNR says.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) Director Martha Williams told a Senate committee her agency is trying to find a vaccine that will keep bats from getting the disease and trying to conserve existing bats so they’ll be around when they find a solution for white-nose syndrome.
“I think we’ve made some progress, but we certainly haven’t solved it,” said Williams.
FWS Deputy Director Stephen D. Guertin told another committee that white-nose syndrome has spread across approximately 79% of the species’ entire range and is expected to affect 100% of the species’ range by the end of the decade.
“Data indicate white-nose syndrome has caused estimated declines of 97 to 100% in affected northern long-eared bat populations,” said Guertin “Given the increasing threat of this disease, the bat now meets the definition of an endangered species, i.e., in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range.”
Republicans argue that putting the bats on the endangered species list won’t fight the fungal disease killing the bats and would instead hamstring developments and increase regulatory burdens in places where the bats are found.
U.S. Rep. Bruce Westerman, an Arkansas Republican who chairs the House Natural Resources Committee, said that adding the bats to the endangered species act would force more than 3,000 projects in his home state to obtain additional permits. He said it would affect forest management efforts to prevent wildfires, as well as projects like roads, bridges and pipelines.
“With this decision, the Biden administration is punishing small businesses, farmers, foresters, energy producers, those who transmit electricity because this would impact the ability to clear fallen timber off of off of power lines,” added the chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, Pennsylvania Republican Glenn Thompson. “It’s just extensive the impact here to cover the cost of something they have no control over.
Democrats said the resolution is intended to undermine the Endangered Species Act.
“Let’s remember we work for the American people and not these industry polluters,” said Arizona Democratic Rep. Raúl Grijalva, the top Democrat on the National Resources Committee.
All Ohio Republicans backed rejecting the bat’s endangered status, while the state’s Democrats voted to keep it.
The measure passed the Senate in May by a 51 to 49 margin, with support from all the legislative body’s Republicans, as well as Democrats Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Joe Manchin of West Virginia.
Neither legislative body passed it by a margin sufficient to override the presidential veto the Biden administration has promised.
“Bats are critical to healthy, functioning ecosystems and contribute at least $3 billion annually to the U.S. agriculture economy through pest control and pollination,” said a statement from the Office of Management and Budget. “Overturning this rule would risk extinction of a species. Overturning protections for the northern long-eared bat that are rooted in science would undermine America’s proud wildlife conservation traditions and risk extinction of the species.” | 2023-07-27T20:46:23+00:00 | cleveland.com | https://www.cleveland.com/news/2023/07/house-of-representatives-rejects-endangered-status-for-ohio-bat-species.html |
SEATTLE — Crab fishermen are at a loss after Alaska canceled harvest season for two types of crabs over population concerns.
For the first time ever, the Bering Sea snow crab harvest is closed, and for the second consecutive year, the Bristol Bay red king crab harvest is as well.
The closure will result in fewer King and Snow crabs showing up on the menu, but the biggest impact is being felt by fishermen.
Being a fisherman isn’t a 9-5 job, it’s a lifestyle, often spanning generations.
“My husband is a 5th generation fisherman. His mom grew up in Ketchikan,” said Bri Dwyer who is a Commercial Fishing Industry photographer and storyteller. Her husband Captain Sean Dwyer is featured on the TV show Deadliest Catch.
“That type of lifestyle takes a certain type of person and a certain type of drive that’s really inspiring,” said Bri Dwyer.
Sean Dwyer is currently in Alaska finishing up filming. The family found out with everyone else this week that their crabbing season in the Bering Sea could be nonexistent.
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game announced the cancelations on Monday. The department said the harvests were closed over concerns about long-term conservation and the sustainability of crab stocks.
“There’s a small Bairdi season, a little over 2 million pounds and we need to see if it makes sense for our boats,” said Bri Dwyer. The Dwyers are part of the two to three vessels equipped to catch that species of crab of the 60-vessel fleet within Alaska Bering Sea Crabbers (ABSC).
“Many of them are small family businesses, second and third-generation fishermen and they are losing their jobs, it’s simply devastating," said Executive Director of ABSC Jamie Goen.
Goen said she understands the shut down takes pressure off the stock, but she isn't seeing it applied to other sectors.
“As fishermen, we are stewards of the resource and the oceans and we do care tremendously," said Bri Dwyer.
Goen told KING 5 that the crab supply will be able to bounce back, but the generational fishing businesses won’t. They’re asking for emergency relief like that given to farmers if there’s a crop failure.
This news trickles down to coastal communities, processors and local markets.
“Once we get into the holidays I’m not sure we’ll have enough King Crab to supply the holidays,” said John Speltz who is the owner of Wild Salmon Seafood Market.
The news makes fisherman families wonder if they will be passing on their legacy to the new generation.
“At the end of the day, we’re fishermen,” said Bri Dwyer. | 2022-10-13T03:35:26+00:00 | king5.com | https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/alaska-cancels-snow-king-crab-season/281-ca6e3fff-4217-4a4c-b7f3-df61edb752ad |

Measles outbreak in central Ohio ends after 85 cases, all among children who weren't fully vaccinated
A measles outbreak in central Ohio that sickened 85 children has been declared over, officials at Columbus Public Health announced Sunday. None of the children died, but 36 were hospitalized.
The outbreak of measles infections, which was first reported in early November, spread among children who were not fully vaccinated and was mostly driven by a lack of vaccination in the community. Among the 85 cases, all but five were ages 5 and younger.
Measles cases in central Ohio emerged quickly in November and early December, but the number of new cases being identified appeared to slow during the winter holidays. Local health officials waited until no new cases were reported within 42 days -- or two incubation periods of the measles virus -- before declaring the outbreak over.
Health officials fought the outbreak by "sounding the alarm," including being transparent about the state of the outbreak, informing the public about how easily the measles virus can spread and promoting the importance of getting young children vaccinated against the virus, said Dr. Mysheika Roberts, health commissioner for the city of Columbus, who led the outbreak response.
"In addition, we've had family members of individuals who have been infected with measles who have been very vocal and said they made a mistake -- they should have gotten their child vaccinated. And I think that has helped as well," she said.
Experts recommend that children receive the measles, mumps and rubella -- known as the MMR -- vaccine in two doses: the first between 12 months and 15 months of age and a second between 4 and 6 years old. One dose is about 93% effective at preventing measles if a person comes into contact with the virus. Two doses are about 97% effective.
In the United States, more than 90% of children have been vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella by age 2, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Measles was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000, and since then, most cases in the U.S. have emerged in communities with low rates of vaccination against the virus.
Even if a disease is eliminated, outbreaks can still occur if an unvaccinated person travels to or from a country where the disease is still common, becomes infected and brings it back to the United States, introducing the virus into a community. That traveler can transmit measles to anyone who is unvaccinated.
"While we expect importations of measles cases into the United States to continue, the risk for measles for the majority of the population would still remain low," the CDC says on its website. "That is because most people in the United States are vaccinated against measles."
How health officials stopped outbreak in its tracks
When the outbreak began, the CDC sent a small team to Columbus to assist with tracking measles cases and pinpointing how the virus was spreading. Once a new case was identified, health officials worked quickly to determine who had been in contact with that person, whether the contacts were vaccinated against measles and, if not, whether they had been infected.
About 90% of unvaccinated people who are exposed to measles will become infected, according to Columbus Public Health, and about 1 in 5 people in the U.S. who get measles will be hospitalized.
"Altogether, we had six CDC people helping us at one point in time on the ground, and that was very effective," Roberts said. "I think that really helped us slow the progression of this virus in our community."
She added that the outbreak took Columbus Public Health officials off-guard.
"We've had low vaccination rates for MMR in our community for years, but we've never had a measles outbreak like we have now. So it did take us by surprise," Roberts said.
There was not one single community or demographic of people within central Ohio that was at an increased risk of measles infections or had low vaccination rates. Rather, small pockets of communities where families decided not to get their children vaccinated were influenced by "false information that was distributed about the MMR vaccine being associated with autism," Roberts said, and that's what drove the outbreak.
'One of the most contagious viruses that we've identified'
Measles can spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes or shares germs by touching objects or surfaces. Even after an infected person leaves a room, measles virus can live for up to two hours in the air.
Symptoms can include fever, cough, runny nose, watery eyes and a rash of red spots. In rare cases, it may lead to pneumonia, encephalitis or death.
Making sure children get the recommended MMR vaccinations as part of their routine childhood immunizations can help reduce their risk of measles, said Dr. Tanya Altmann, founder of Calabasas Pediatrics in California and author of "Baby & Toddler Basics," who is an adjunct clinical professor at Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
"Measles is one of the most contagious viruses that we've identified, and if one person has measles and there's somebody unvaccinated around them, there's a 90% chance they're going to get it," she said, adding that all of the children infected during the measles outbreak in Ohio were all not fully vaccinated.
"It really just takes one unvaccinated person to travel into a community, and they can have a measles outbreak if there isn't a high enough vaccination rate in that community," Altmann said. | 2023-02-06T02:31:05+00:00 | kcra.com | https://www.kcra.com/article/measles-outbreak-ohio-children-unvaccinated/42767487 |
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — After four years of rising destruction in Brazil’s Amazon, deforestation dropped by 33.6% during the first six months of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s term, according to government satellite data released Thursday.
From January to June the rainforest had alerts for possible deforestation covering 2,650 square kilometers (1,023 square miles), down from 4,000 square kilometers — an area the size of Rhode Island — during the same period last year under former President Jair Bolsonaro. This year’s data includes a 41% plunge in alerts for June, which marks the start of the dry season when deforestation tends to jump.
“The effort of reversing the curve of growth has been reached. That is a fact: we reversed the curve; deforestation isn’t increasing,” João Paulo Capobianco, the Environment Ministry’s executive secretary, said during a presentation in Brasilia.
Capobianco noted that full-year results will depend on a few challenging months ahead. Still, the data is an encouraging sign for Lula, who campaigned last year with pledges to rein in illegal logging and undo the environmental devastation during Bolsonaro’s term. The former far-right leader weakened environmental authorities while his insistence on development of the Amazon region resonated with landgrabbers and farmers who had long felt maligned by environmental laws. They were emboldened, and Amazon deforestation surged to a 15-year high.
Thursday’s deforestation data comes from a system called Deter, managed by the National Institute for Space Research, a federal agency. It is an initiative mainly focused on detecting real-time deforestation. The most accurate deforestation calculations come from another system called Prodes, with data released only annually.
“Bottom line, we are prioritizing environmental law enforcement,” Jair Schmitt, head of environmental protection at Ibama, Brazil’s federal environmental agency, said in a phone interview with The Associated Press.
However, the continued shortage of personnel means the task hasn’t been easy, he said. Many Ibama agents retired and weren’t replaced during Bolsonaro’s administration, reflecting his effort to defang environmental authorities. Lula has committed to restoring the workforce, but the number of Ibama’s enforcement agents remains at its lowest in 24 years. For the entire country that is bigger than the contiguous U.S., there are just 700 agents, with 150 available for deployment.
Ibama has also strengthened remote surveillance, where deforestation is detected through satellite imagery, according to Schmitt. By cross-referencing with land records, it is possible to identify the owner of the area in many cases, leading to an embargo that restricts access to financial loans and imposes other sanctions.
Another strategy has been to seize thousands of illegally raised cattle within embargoed areas. It is effective because it inflicts immediate punishment, whereas fines are rarely paid in Brazil due to a slow appeals process, Schmitt said.
Rodrigo Agostinho, the head of Ibama, noted in the presentation Thursday that the value of fines imposed in the first half of the year jumped 167% from the 2019-2022 average, and the agency embargoed 2,086 areas — up 111%.
“We started the year with a lot of difficulty because of everything we inherited, reorganizing all the enforcement teams, environmental protection, reactivating tech systems,” said Agostinho.
Improved deforestation data also reflect the change in rhetoric coming from the top, said Schmitt. Whereas Bolsonaro openly criticized Ibama and advocated for the legalization of deforested areas, Lula has said he will rebuild law enforcement and promised to expel invaders from protected areas. Experts say the mere expectation that a land-grabbed area will eventually be regularized has historically been one of deforestation’s biggest drivers.
It may be premature to celebrate the reversal in deforestation’s trend, however. According to satellite monitoring, there were 3,075 fires in the Amazon in June alone, which marks the beginning of the dry season — the most since 2007. The jump is due to the clearing of areas deforested in the second half of 2022, Schmitt said. In the Amazon, fires are mostly man-made and occur after clear-cutting of the forest.
With El Niño looming, which typically brings less rain and higher temperatures to the Amazon, Ibama has doubled its budget for fighting forest fires and increased the scope of its fire squads by 17% for the most critical period, typically July to October. Approximately half of the 2,117 temporary firefighters are Indigenous peoples.
The Amazon rainforest covers an area twice the size of India and holds tremendous stores of carbon, serving as a crucial buffer against climate change. Two-thirds of it is located in Brazil.
Next month, Lula will preside over a meeting in Belem, bringing together heads-of-state from all Amazonian nations to discuss means to effectively cooperate in the challenging region. Lula has promised to end net deforestation in Brazil’s Amazon by 2030. His four-year mandate, his third term, ends two years earlier.
To achieve this, law enforcement alone will not be enough, says Adevaldo Dias, a rubber-tapper leader who presides over the Chico Mendes Memorial, a non-profit organization that assists traditional non-Indigenous communities in the Amazon.
“It is necessary to invest in sustainable productive chains under community management, such as managed pirarucu (arapaima) fishing, Brazil nuts, vegetable oils, and açai,” he told the AP. “This will help revitalize and expand these chains, generating decent income for those engaged in conservation efforts within their territories.”
Ibama’s Agostinho also stressed his agency’s efforts within Indigenous territories, particularly the land of the Yanomami people where thousands of illegal gold miners — seeking to carve out a living — invaded during Bolsonaro’s term.
Their activities contaminated waterways and sickened local people, and Lula’s government has spent months expelling most of them. Some remain, however, working at night to avoid being caught, Agostinho said.
“We are very content with the result so far,” he said. “We know the fight isn’t over, we will continue doing this work.”

NASA accepting proposals to build next lunar rover to explore moon
NASA is currently accepting proposals to build the next-generation Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV) that will allow astronauts to further explore the south polar region on the moon during the Artemis missions.
The plan calls for astronauts to study and sample more of the lunar surface using the LTV. The agency wants to contract the vehicle rather than owning it outright.
"We want to leverage industry’s knowledge and innovation, combined with NASA’s history of successfully operating rovers, to make the best possible surface rover for our astronaut crews and scientific researchers," Lara Kearney, manager of NASA’s Extravehicular Activity and Human Surface Mobility program, said in a news release.
RELATED: China launches new crew for space station with goal to put astronauts on moon before 2030
NASA said the LTV will function like a cross between an Apollo-style lunar rover and a Mars-style uncrewed rover. The idea is that the rover will be able to operate LTV remotely to transport cargo and scientific payloads between landing sites. They also want the rover to operate on its own without astronauts at times.
The rover must carry two suited astronauts, accommodate a robotic arm or mechanism to support science exploration, and survive the extreme temperatures at the lunar South Pole.
NASA hopes to use the new rover with astronauts starting with Artemis V in 2029. Before that, NASA wants the rover unmanned to conduct commercial activities once it lands on the lunar surface.

Proposals are due July 10, 2023. The contract is set to be awarded in November 2023.
As part of the Artemis missions, NASA named the four astronauts who will fly around the moon late next year, including the first woman and the first African American assigned to a lunar mission.
The four astronauts will be the first to fly NASA’s Orion capsule, launching atop a Space Launch System rocket from Kennedy Space Center no earlier than late 2024. They will not land or even go into lunar orbit, but rather fly around the moon and head straight back to Earth, a prelude to a lunar landing by two others a year later.
The mission’s commander, Reid Wiseman, will be joined by Victor Glover, an African American naval aviator; Christina Koch, who holds the world record for the longest spaceflight by a woman; and Canada’s Jeremy Hansen, a former fighter pilot and the crew’s lone space rookie. Wiseman, Glover and Koch have all lived on the International Space Station. All four are in their 40s.

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — A Virginia-based conservative christian advocacy group was turned away from a local restaurant just an hour before their reservation last week.
A representative of the Family Foundation said he was frustrated after the group was turned away from Metzger Bar and Butchery last Wednesday. The group claims it all has to do with their religious beliefs.
According to Todd Gathje, Director of Government Relations for the Family Foundation, one of the owners of Metzger called a representative of the Family Foundation about an hour before the reservation time, saying that the group would not be dining in the restaurant.
“We’ve had events at restaurants all over the city and never encountered a situation like this,” Gathje said. “It’s no secret that we are very much engaged in the public policy debate on a number of controversial issues. But we never expected that we would be denied service at a restaurant based on our religious values or political beliefs.”
For businesses like restaurants, federal and state laws do not allow discrimination based on protected classes such as race, religion, sex and more, as defined by the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
It’s not yet clear if this incident falls under one of those protected classes.
In a Facebook post the following day, Metzger’s wrote that they “have very rarely refused service to anyone who wished to dine with us.”
However, they added, “We have always refused service to anyone for making our staff feel uncomfortable and unsafe and this was the driving force behind our decision.”
They noted that many staff members were LGBTQ or women and that they believed the Family Foundation “seeks to deprive women and LGBTQ+ persons of their basic rights in Virginia.”
Gathje has previously written for the Family Foundation about a stalled effort in 2021 to remove an unenforceable provision of the Virginia Constitution — invalidated by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2015 — that defines marriage as between one man and one woman, saying that removing it would open the door to “polygamous, incestuous, kinship or even child marriages.”
Gathje said he thought it was unfair of the restaurant to deny service over the group’s religious beliefs.
“It was a very intolerant message being conveyed,” said Gathje.
The family foundation said they are open to the possibility of a sit down so that something like this never has to happen again.
“We would welcome an opportunity to have a discussion with them,” Gathje said. “Meet with them in a private setting where can have a heart-to-heart about some of the issues.”

KRAMATORSK, Ukraine (AP) — Maryna Havrysh struggled to hold back her tears as she helped a group of volunteers load her elderly parents into an evacuation van in Kramatorsk, near the front line of Russia’s war on Ukraine.
Her 84-year-old father, Viktor Mariukha, was carried by stretcher out of the house, while her mother Lidia, 79, held a cane as volunteers held her under each arm.
As the couple left the home they had shared for nearly 70 years to begin a journey to a care home in western Ukraine, their daughter offered them words of comfort.
But when the van's sliding door closed, Maryna burst into sobs.
“I understand that this will be the last time that I ever see them,” said Maryna, who decided to remain in Kramatorsk with her husband to continue working. “You see their age, I can’t give them the proper care.”
The evacuation of Maryna’s parents, carried out by volunteers with a Ukrainian aid group, came days after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued an order to all those remaining in the country’s embattled Donetsk region to evacuate as soon as possible as Russian forces press deeper into the region.
“The more people leave Donetsk region now, the fewer people the Russian army will have time to kill,” Zelenskyy said.
Even as the August weather remains warm in eastern Ukraine, authorities are also preparing for the cold months of fall and winter, when they fear that many of the roughly 350,000 residents still inside Donetsk may not have access to heating or electricity, or even clean water.
On Tuesday, Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister, Iryna Vereshchuk, said that a train carrying evacuees from Donetsk had arrived that day in central Ukraine, representing the start of what authorities are describing as a compulsory evacuation effort that would take 200,000-220,000 out of the province by fall.
On the outskirts of Kramatorsk, which has undergone frequent Russian shelling, volunteers have set up a collection point for gathering evacuees who are then transported to the nearest working train station in Pokrovsk, 50 miles (85 kilometers) to the southwest.
As she struggled to board the van bound for the train station, Valentyna Abramanovska, 87, carried only a black-and-white photograph of her mother and sister taken nearly 50 years ago on the Sea of Azov, a memento of her life to carry with her.
“God help me, God help me,” she repeated as she crossed herself with trembling hands. “I think I’m going crazy.”
Abramanovska said she’d been terrified after the bombings in her village became “a nightmare,” and was persuaded by her daughter to leave.
She still has childhood memories, she said, of German soldiers who occupied Ukraine during World War II. But for her, the experience of Russian bombardment has been far worse.
“They are beasts, jackals. God forgive me for what I’m saying,” she said. “How is it possible? They are killing children.”
While the government’s order to evacuate has convinced some of those left in the Donetsk region to flee, others are resistant.
Nina Grandova’s third-floor apartment in Kramatorsk was damaged by Russian shelling in July, and her disabled husband, Yurii, has been living in the building’s dingy basement since the Russian invasion began on Feb. 24.
Yet she said they have no plans to leave, and has been collecting firewood in the yard of her building to cook over in winter.
She is willing to sign a document required by authorities declaring that those who stay take responsibility for their own lives, she said.
“I have nowhere to go, I have to take care of my husband,” she said. “What will happen will happen.”
After being transported to the train station in Pokrovsk, hundreds of evacuees climbed onto the sweltering train ahead of a several hours’ journey west to the city of Dnipro.
Standing on the platform with her young daughter, Viktoria, a young mother from the eastern city of Bakhmut, said the danger posed by shelling and the prospect of a winter without heating had convinced her to flee.
“We already have problems with electricity and no gas, so I think families with children will be the first to leave,” she said.
Moments before the train lurched into motion and toward the west, an air raid siren pierced the air.

WASHINGTON >> Former President Donald Trump is claiming that nine documents seized by the FBI from his Florida residence are his personal property — but the Justice Department says they are official records that should be deposited with the National Archives, according to a new letter to the special master who is overseeing a review of the materials.
The letter, filed Thursday by the Justice Department, describes disputes over ownership and executive privilege claims involving a batch of 15 records that have undergone early review. It likely foreshadows larger fights to come over the main bulk of roughly 13,000 documents and other materials FBI agents took from Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s club and residence, in a court-authorized search in August.
The materials from the initial tranche that Trump maintains belong to him include six packages submitted to him when he was president supporting requests that he grant clemency to pardon-seekers; two documents related to his administration’s immigration policies; and an email addressed to him from a person at a military academy, the letter said.
But the Justice Department, in its letter, scoffed at the notion that any of those materials belong to Trump. It cited the Presidential Records Act, which says all documentary materials created or received by a president, his staff or his office in the course of official activities are government property that should go to the National Archives when a president leaves office.
Of the pardon packages, for example, the Justice Department wrote: “Those requests were received by plaintiff in his capacity as the official with authority to grant reprieves and pardons, not in his personal capacity.”
The dispute stems from a decision by Judge Aileen Cannon in Florida’s Southern District to grant Trump’s request that she intervene in the Justice Department’s inquiry into whether he had unlawfully kept classified records at his estate and obstructed the government’s repeated efforts to retrieve them.
Surprising legal experts, Cannon, a Trump appointee, imposed an injunction temporarily blocking criminal investigators from using any of the documents. She also appointed the special master, Judge Raymond Dearie of the U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, to review any claims that they were Trump’s personal property or protected by attorney-client or executive privilege.
The letter, addressed to Dearie, described the documents in broad strokes because the list is technically still sealed. However, because the list was mistakenly filed on the public docket before being taken down and copies were posted online, it is possible to see with greater detail what files are in dispute.
The letter said that Trump is also claiming that four of the 15 documents should be withheld from investigators under executive privilege. They include the two immigration policy documents, which Trump’s team said were predecisional materials, and two documents about meetings he was to approve and certain questions he had been asked.
The Justice Department argued that Trump “cannot logically assert” executive privilege over the two immigration policy documents at the same time he claims they are personal property, saying “only official records are subject to assertions of executive privilege.”
That dispute appeared to shed light on a comment that Dearie made in a telephone conference with the parties earlier this week. Complaining that the Trump legal team had not offered much substance to explain its claims, he noted a document that the lawyers had claimed was both personal property and protected by executive privilege.
“Unless I’m wrong, and I’ve been wrong before, there’s certainly an incongruity there,” Dearie said at the time.
The Justice Department, which has appealed Cannon’s order, argues that a former president cannot use executive privilege to keep executive branch materials from executive branch criminal investigators.
In its letter, the department said that Trump’s team has relied on a 2012 ruling in claiming that their client owns the materials. In that case, a district court judge rejected a lawsuit by a conservative group that wanted to force the National Archives to challenge an earlier decision by former President Bill Clinton to designate as his personal property a set of interview tapes.
Trump’s legal team has cited that case in public filings as well, arguing that the ruling means presidents have “extraordinary discretion” to designate materials in the White House as their property. In the public filings, the lawyers have not argued that he deemed any of the documents as his property before leaving office, however.
The Justice Department noted that Trump had offered “no evidence that he in fact designated” the disputed documents as personal records while in office. And, it wrote, neither the 2012 ruling nor any other by a court “has suggested that otherwise presidential records may be rendered personal by fiat.”

ATP incubated and built Ascidian with $50 million in Series A funding
Pioneering RNA exon editing platform expands therapeutic possibilities to treat diseases not addressed by today's gene editing technologies
Lead program targeting ABCA4 retinopathy moves toward IND
RNA medicines expert Romesh Subramanian, Ph.D., joins Ascidian as President and CEO; ATP Chief Scientific Officer and Venture Partner Michael Ehlers, M.D., Ph.D., to serve as Board Chair
NEW YORK and BOSTON, Oct. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ATP, a leader in life sciences venture capital, today announced the launch of Ascidian Therapeutics, a biotechnology company built and developed by ATP and funded with a $50 million Series A financing. With a focus on treating human diseases by replacing mutated exons at the RNA level, Ascidian's technology enables therapeutic targeting of large genes and genes with high mutational variance while maintaining native gene expression patterns and levels. This approach is designed to provide the durability of gene therapy while reducing risks associated with DNA editing and manipulation. Ascidian is advancing its lead program for ABCA4 retinopathy in IND-enabling studies while it progresses its pipeline of programs in ophthalmology, and neurological, neuromuscular, and rare diseases.
Romesh Subramanian, Ph.D., formerly founder and CEO of Dyne Therapeutics, is Ascidian's President and Chief Executive Officer. Michael Ehlers, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of ATP and a Venture Partner at the firm, was founding CEO of Ascidian and led its incubation; he will become Chair of Ascidian's Board of Directors.
"I am excited to join Ascidian because the company's technology truly has the potential to rewrite RNA. This will enable us to expand the therapeutic potential of RNA medicines for patients who are awaiting breakthroughs," Dr. Subramanian said. "Ascidian has the capability to redefine the treatment of genetic diseases by editing exons at the RNA level. Using this approach, we can replace genes too large to package into a viral vector as well as genes with high mutational variance, all of which are currently beyond the reach of gene and base editing approaches."
Ascidian's platform deploys high-throughput molecular biology in tandem with cutting-edge computational biology. A single Ascidian RNA editor can replace multiple mutated exons simultaneously, without modifying DNA, thereby limiting the risk of off-target DNA edits and expression of transgenes in off-target cell types. Moreover, the technology does not require the introduction of exogenous enzymes, reducing the risk of immunogenicity.
"ATP built Ascidian because we believe that rewriting RNA has the potential to fundamentally transform the fields of RNA therapeutics and gene editing by addressing the underlying causes of disease," Dr. Ehlers said. "We are thrilled to welcome Romesh at this critical time in Ascidian's growth as we advance our lead program toward the clinic and expand our pipeline with programs aimed at bringing novel treatments to patients in need."
Ascidian's technology is based on RNA trans-splicing, a phenomenon observed in multiple organisms, including ascidians—ancient ancestors of vertebrates—which deploy trans-splicing to re-engineer their transcriptome. As applied by Ascidian, RNA trans-splicing enables excision of disease-causing exons and their replacement with wild-type exons in a single reaction to treat disease.
IND-enabling activities are under way for Ascidian's lead program targeting ABCA4 retinopathy, including Stargardt disease. Stargardt disease is the most common form of inherited macular degeneration and affects approximately 30,000 individuals in the United States alone. Stargardt disease is caused by mutations in the ABCA4 gene which can lead to progressive retinal degeneration and vision loss, typically beginning in childhood and young adulthood.1
More than 900 mutations across the ABCA4 gene have been found that cause Stargardt disease.2 These mutations result in varying degrees of protein expression and disease severity. Diseases caused by ABCA4 loss of function are examples of genetic disorders that cannot be addressed by standard gene replacement, given the large size of the gene, or by base editing, due to the high mutational variance of the affected gene.
Ascidian presented data earlier this year at the 25th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy showing that sub-retinal administration of one of its ABCA4 exon editors resulted in expression of full-length ABCA4 protein in non-human primates.3
The company has demonstrated excision and replacement of mutated RNA exons with wild-type RNA sequences in multiple genes and cell types, and is advancing programs in ophthalmology, and neurological, neuromuscular, and rare diseases in preclinical studies.
Dr. Subramanian joins Ascidian from Dyne Therapeutics, which he founded, and where he served as Chief Scientific Officer and CEO. Prior to Dyne, he co-founded Translate Bio (formerly RaNA Therapeutics), which was acquired last year by Sanofi.

MONTEREY PARK, Calif. (AP) — The police chief in the California city where 20 people were shot — 11 fatally — at a ballroom dance hall defended his decision not to warn the public for hours that a killer was on the loose, saying Wednesday he didn’t have enough information to effectively alert residents.
Monterey Park Chief Scott Wiese said police in the region were alerted and it didn’t make sense to send out a warning at night to residents in the predominantly Asian American city even after learning the suspect may have targeted a nearby dance club after the massacre.
“I’m not going to send my officers door to door waking people up and telling them that we’re looking for a male Asian in Monterey Park,” Wiese told The Associated Press. “It’s not going to do us any good.”
The shooting at Star Ballroom Dance Studio at 10:22 p.m. Saturday occurred just an hour or so after tens of thousands of people attended Lunar New Year festivities in the city. The public wasn’t notified of the mass shooting for five hours, raising questions about why an alert wasn’t sent to people in the area.
Huu Can Tran, 72, who was said to frequent the dance hall and fancied himself as an instructor, carried out the shooting with a submachine gun-style semi-automatic weapon with large capacity magazine, authorities said.
Tran fled in a white van before officers arrived at the scene of chaotic carnage and about 20 minutes later he entered another dance hall in nearby Alhambra, where an employee confronted and disarmed him during a brief struggle.
Chris Grollnek, an active shooter expert, said police never should have waited so long to warn the public about the possible threat posed by a gunman at large. The city had access to an automated alert system and even putting out a little information would have been better than nothing.
“They should have gotten the word out sooner,” Grollnek said. “I think everybody’s lucky he didn’t make it to a third location.”
Wiese, who had been sworn in as chief two days before Saturday’s shooting, said he quickly learned about the second incident at the Lai Lai Ballroom but it wasn’t immediately clear the two were connected.
Patrol officers in Monterey Park and Alhambra traded details of their two incidents, prompting investigators to look into a potential connection, Wiese said.
“We put that together pretty quickly but we still had very limited information,” he said.
Wiese said they were piecing together information from some 40 witnesses — many of whom didn’t speak English — and didn’t want to broadcast incorrect information. He said that notifying other local, state and federal agencies gave them the ability to get the word out.
A sheriff’s official confirmed the fatalities to the AP shortly before 2:36 a.m. Sunday but it wasn’t until roughly an hour later — some five hours after the shooting — that law enforcement first mentioned a suspect was at-large.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said his department’s decision to release information was “strategic” but promised a review of the timeline.
“When we started putting out public information, the priority was to get this person into custody,” Luna said Monday. His department, which is handling the investigation, hasn’t released information about the shooting since Monday.
The first news conference about the shooting was held Sunday morning by a sheriff’s captain. Several hours later, Tran was found dead in his van from a self-inflicted gunshot, authorities said. A handgun was found in the vehicle.
The slayings during what should have been joyful Lunar New Year celebrations sent ripples of fear through Asian American communities that were already dealing with increased hatred and violence directed at them.
Less than 48 hours later, a gunman in Northern California shot eight fellow farmworkers — killing seven — at mushroom farms in Half Moon Bay. The shooter was of Chinese descent and most of the victims were Asian.
Outside the locked gates of Star Dance Studio, a popular venue for older Asian Americans, a memorial grew higher Wednesday with mounds of bouquets and balloons. Hundreds of people carrying flowers, candles and incense showed up for a vigil.
Marlene Xu gathered with fellow dancers by a row of flower-framed photos of the victims. Xu said she danced at Star Dance Studio four times a week and when she heard about the shootings, spent an entire day and night in tears.
“It’s hard for us because it’s a part of my life — it’s like a part of your life is gone,” she said.
Sabine Slome, who works as a pharmaceutical representative in the city, wept after paying her respects and leaving behind flowers.
“I just pray that we will learn from this,” she said. “It’s just heartbreaking. How many more shootings?”
Hearts were scribbled in pink and red chalk in the parking lot where the first victim was killed in her car.
“Monterey Park I hope you know how loved you are,” a message read.
Vice President Kamala Harris, dressed in black, visited the memorial in the dance studio parking lot Wednesday before heading to a senior center to talk to relatives of the victims.
Harris paused in front of each of the large, rose-framed placards that contained photos or names of the victims. She placed a large bouquet of yellow and white flowers alongside scores of others.
Speaking briefly to reporters, Harris relayed sentiments on behalf of President Joe Biden and called for stricter gun control laws.
“Tragically we keep saying the same things,” Harris said. “Congress must act.”
“Can they do something? Yes. Should they do something? Yes. Will they do something? That is where we all must speak up,” Harris said.
Pope Francis was among those offering condolences, saying in a message to the Los Angeles archbishop that he “implores the divine gifts of healing and consolation upon the injured and bereaved.”
Wiese said he’s seen a lot during his three decade career, but some of the first officers on the scene were rookies who had never faced such carnage and the trauma will be hard to forget.
Paramedics were loading the wounded into ambulances and treating others inside when the chief arrived. There were bodies every 10 feet: some slumped over tables, others sprawled on the dance floor.
“It’s hard to put words to it,” he said. “It takes your breath away when you see it. And it kind of burns the image into your brain.”

BEIRUT (AP) — An attack with drones hit a compound run by American troops and U.S.-backed Syrian opposition fighters in eastern Syria on Monday, the U.S. military said, adding that there were no casualties or damage.
The military said the attack took place in the vicinity of al-Tanf base near where the borders of Syria, Jordan and Iraq meet. There was no claim of responsibility for the attack.
U.S. and coalition troops are based at al-Tanf to train Syrian forces on patrols to counter militants from the Islamic State group. The base is also located on a road serving as a vital link for Iranian-backed forces, stretching from Tehran all the way to Lebanon.
The military statement said coalition troops in coordination with opposition fighters — known as Maghaweir al-Thowra — “responded to an attack by multiple unmanned aerial systems in the vicinity of al-Tanf Garrison" on Monday morning.
It said the troops successfully engaged one of the drones preventing its impact while a second one detonated within the opposition forces' compound, “resulting in zero casualties or reported damage.” The other attempted drone strikes were not successful, it added.
Maj. Gen. John Brennan, the commander of Combined Joint Task Force, condemned the drone strike. “Such attacks put the lives of innocent Syrian civilians at risk and undermine the significant efforts by our Partner Forces to maintain the lasting defeat of ISIS,” he said, using an acronym for the Islamic State group.
The attack occurred hours after Israeli airstrikes on western and central Syria killed three soldiers, wounded three others and caused material damage.
A Syrian opposition war monitor, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the Israeli strikes hit Syrian army positions where Iran-backed fighters are based.
Drone attacks on al-Tanf have been rare.
In October last year, U.S. officials said they believe Iran was behind a drone attack that month in al-Tanf saying at the time that they believe that the attacks involved as many as five drones laden with explosive charges. It said the drones hit both the U.S. side of al-Tanf garrison and the side where Syrian opposition forces stay.
The October attacks came days after an Israeli airstrike on central Syria. | 2022-08-15T11:15:18+00:00 | lmtonline.com | https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/US-Drone-attack-targets-US-base-in-Syria-no-17373762.php |
Vince Dooley, the Hall of Fame coach who led the Georgia Bulldogs to six Southeastern Conference titles and the 1980 national championship, has died at the age of 90, the school announced in a statement Friday.
Dooley worked at the University of Georgia for 41 years as head football coach and athletic director, retiring on June 30, 2004.
He took the Bulldogs to 20 bowl games during his 25 seasons as head coach, during which he amassed a record of 201-77-10. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1994.
The university honored Dooley in 2019 by adding his name to the field of 95,000-seat Sanford Stadium, which has been home to the Bulldogs since 1929. In addition, there is a statue of Dooley being lifted by players from the 1980 national title team at the entrance of the Vince Dooley Athletic Complex.
He was in attendance as the Bulldogs defeated Alabama to win the program's second national championship in January 2022.
Current Georgia coach Kirby Smart called Dooley's death "heartbreaking" in a tweet Friday.
Our family is heartbroken by the death of Coach Dooley. He was one of a kind with an unmatched love for UGA! He and Barbara embraced my family from day one. He will be missed in our community, university, and in college athletics.
— Coach Kirby Smart (@KirbySmartUGA) October 28, 2022
At age 32, Dooley joined Georgia in 1964 after spending eight seasons as an assistant at Auburn, where he was the Tigers' captain during his playing days. He told ESPN in 2019 that his hiring wasn't a popular decision, especially when Georgia fans realized that their new coach with the first name Vince was not Vince Lombardi.
"I can't say that I was the most well-received coach who has ever been hired," Dooley said in 2019. "When I look at those credentials, there's no way as an administrator that I would've hired myself. A 31-year-old freshman coach at a rival school? Now suppose you had to hire somebody at an institution like Georgia and say this is the coach."
In 1980, led by running back Herschel Walker, the Bulldogs started a four-year run during which they went 43-4-1 and won three straight SEC titles. Dooley won numerous national coach of the year awards as Georgia cemented the 1980 national championship with a 17-10 win over Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl to cap a 12-0 season.
Walker won the Heisman Trophy in 1982.
Dooley retired as head coach in 1988 to become athletic director, leading a program that won 18 national championships and 80 SEC titles during his 25-year run in that role. He is a member of the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame and Georgia Sports Hall of Fame.

New Scotch celebrates the famous Glasgow distillery of Port Dundas, launching with the release of 75 limited edition Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare available on BlockBar.com
NEW YORK, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnnie Walker, the world's number one Scotch Whisky1 , is excited to offer whisky lovers the opportunity to own an extremely limited edition Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Port Dundas Master Set. To bring the Master Set to collectors globally, Johnnie Walker partners with BlockBar.com (the world's first direct to consumer NFT marketplace for luxury wine and spirits) and Vayner3 (the Web3 consultancy under the umbrella VaynerX, founded by serial entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk).
Experience the full interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/players/English/9084151-johnnie-walker-blue-label-ghost-and-rare-series-with-exclusive-nft-drop/
The limited edition Johnnie Walker Ghost and Rare series is crafted using irreplaceable "ghost" whiskies and other incredibly rare expressions from the unparalleled Johnnie Walker reserves used to create the award-winning Johnnie Walker Blue Label. This latest release explores the character of exceptional and rare whiskies from one of world's most famous Grain Whisky distilleries, the Glasgow "ghost" distillery of Port Dundas.
This renowned distillery, nestled on the banks of the Forth and Clyde Canal, shipped its distinct scotch from Glasgow to ports across the world for nearly 200 years. Built in 1811, Port Dundas became a whisky blending powerhouse known for its distinctive sweet and delicate grain character before it closed in 2010.
In commemoration of the fifth installment and first Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare release from Master Blender Emma Walker, collectors can secure 1 of 75 limited edition Ghost and Rare Port Dundas Master Sets exclusively available on BlockBar.com. The Master Sets feature a physical 1L bottle with signature by Emma Walker; the NFT bottle (digital version of the bottle); a unique digital art piece by award-winning generative AI artist and photographer, Ivona Tau; and access to an exclusive virtual storytelling experience with Emma Walker and Ivona Tau where they will share their inspiration behind their respective masterpieces. Those who burn their NFT will have priority access to the next Diageo drop on BlockBar.com.
Ivona's NFT art in this Master Set draws inspiration from the vital element and force of nature, water, and builds upon her "Under the Waves" project. Her process consisted of multiple stages of AI to create 75 unique NFTs that capture the juxtaposition between the constant flow of water and the water tamed within each bottle of Ghost and Rare Port Dundas. Each of the 75 NFTs will differ, making them as rare as the whisky itself.
Ivona Tau says: "It's incredible to see global brands like Johnnie Walker investing in digital creators to bring visibility to our work. I am proud to have had the opportunity to collaborate with Johnnie Walker and share my artistic vision of this limited-edition whisky release with communities in Web3."
The exclusive Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Master Sets are a celebration of Port Dundas' legacy, the incredible craftsmanship of Johnnie Walker Master Blender Emma Walker and the Web3 cultural revolution.
The Johnnie Walker team of expert whisky makers, led by Johnnie Walker Master Blender Emma Walker, handpicked the most distinctive expressions of maturing whisky from Port Dundas for this new limited edition. Walker chose a small number of distinctive, aged whiskies from the Johnnie Walker reserves, all matured in two different wood types to add depth and layers to the blend. Ghost and Rare Port Dundas features a touch of creamy vanilla notes from whiskies aged in second fill American oak casks and subtle wood spice from scotch matured in first fill highly charred American oak casks.
"Port Dundas was, in its day, one of the finest Grain Whisky distilleries in the world and the rare expressions that we have chosen from our reserves are some of the most distinctive it has ever produced. Their slow maturation allows the sweet and delicate Grain character to blossom," Emma says. "These rare whiskies highlight the distillery character of Port Dundas, perfectly showcasing the wonderful depth of flavor that this Grain Whisky brings to Johnnie Walker Blue Label. It's incredible character inspired us to create something truly extraordinary that pays proper tribute to the whisky makers of this storied Glasgow distillery."
To complement the fragrant wood spice character of Port Dundas, Emma and her team hand-selected two other "ghost" whiskies from the distilleries of Cambus and Brora[2] before combining these with other very rare scotch from five iconic distilleries. Creamy, wood notes from Port Dundas embrace the vanilla and soft smoke from the "ghost" whiskies of Cambus and original stocks of Brora. Other very rare whiskies from Cameronbridge and Glenkinchie reveal notes of spiced apples alongside Clynelish, Dailuaine and Auchroisk, bringing aromas of peaches and berries.
This exclusive NFT opportunity follows the successful Web3 campaigns for the launch of Johnnie Walker Masters of Flavour 48-Year-Old and the Johnnie Walker VeeFriends Gift Goat collaboration earlier this year.
In celebration of the pioneering achievements of Emma Walker and Ivona Tau, Johnnie Walker is creating more opportunities for women to achieve their goals with a dedicated business grant through IFundWomen - the go-to funding marketplace for women-owned businesses. IFundWomen is an ongoing partner in the Johnnie Walker 'First Strides' initiative, which aims to celebrate and enable people and organizations moving culture forward.
"For our second NFT release, we chose to create the Ghost and Rare Port Dundas Master Set because it allows us to take the consumer into the Johnnie Walker world, beyond the tasting of whisky, and explore our iconic, rare reserves," says Sophie Kelly, Senior Vice President of Whiskies, DIAGEO North America. "As a leader in whisky innovation and a champion of collective progress, Johnnie Walker will continue to foster meaningful relationships with consumers by championing the creators and community leaders in Web3. Stay tuned for more exciting collaborations on the horizon."
"BlockBar unlocks exclusive access to some of the scarcest liquids in the world and we're proud to be partnering with one of the most iconic whisky brands for the launch of its Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ghost and Rare Port Dundas," says Dov Falic, BlockBar co-founder & CEO. "One of our missions at BlockBar is to support women in wine, spirits and web3 so we're also delighted to support IFundWomen through this collaboration."
"We are thrilled to partner with Johnnie Walker and the broader Diageo portfolio, as the company continues their journey in Web3, focusing on empowering creators and building exclusive community experiences that speak to their heritage, craftsmanship, and authenticity," said Avery Akkineni, President of Vayner3.

President Biden on Saturday pledged the federal government's full support for reconstruction efforts in Pennsylvania after a portion of Interstate 95 near Philadelphia collapsed last weekend.
The president delivered remarks at the Philadelphia airport after taking an aerial tour of the damage on I-95, where a tanker truck caught fire below an overpass causing the collapse last weekend. A delegation of Pennsylvania officials was with the president, including Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro, senators Bob Casey, D-Pa., and John Fetterman, D-Pa., and Rep. Brendan Boyle, D-Pa., who represents the Philadelphia area.
"I want to say that we're with you. We're going to stay with you until this is rebuilt, until it's totally finished," Biden said.
"There's no more important project in the country right now as far as I'm concerned."
PHILADELPHIA I-95 COLLAPSE: HUMAN REMAINS FOUND AT WRECKAGE SITE, FAMILY IDS TRUCK DRIVER
The collapse is snarling traffic in Philadelphia as the summer travel season starts, upending hundreds of thousands of morning commutes, disrupting countless businesses and forcing trucking companies to find different routes.
VIDEO CAPTURES DIP IN ROAD MOMENTS BEFORE PHILADELPHIA I-95 COLLAPSE
One body was pulled from the wreckage. The resulting fire caused the collapse of the northbound lanes of I-95. The southbound lanes were compromised by the heat from the fire, authorities say.
Construction crews began work on building a temporary roadway after debris from the collapse was demolished days ahead of schedule, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said Friday.
Biden praised those who worked quickly to clear debris and said $3 million in federal emergency funds were immediately made available to offset the cost of repairs.
"This is just a down payment," Biden said. "We'll be getting a lot more federal funding out the door in the coming weeks."
PHILADELPHIA I-95 COLLAPSE: GOV SHAPIRO SAYS 1 PERSON POSSIBLY TRAPPED IN VEHICLE; BIDEN BRIEFED ON DISASTER
Shapiro said Saturday that, with assistance from the federal government, I-95 will be reopened within the next two weeks.
"We are going to get traffic moving again thanks to the extraordinary work that is going on here by these union trade workers," Shapiro said.
Fetterman spoke as well, comparing the moment to when he and Biden visited a collapsed bridge in western Pennsylvania last year.
"He promised to make sure that any resources that they needed and any help and support — and guess what? And guess what? That bridge was rebuilt less than a year well, well in front of time and again," the senator said.

Biden said the federal government will reimburse Pennsylvania "100%" of the costs during the first 200 days of reconstruction and 90% afterward. The president said more than 150,000 vehicles use I-95 daily, including 14,000 trucks.
"It's critical to our economy. It's critical to our quality of life," Biden said. "We're going to continue to do everything within our power to get this back open as quickly and easily as possible, not leaving until it's done."

HOUSTON - Maddox Redden is a budding entrepreneur with a big heart.
His Houston-based business, Grateful Ground Farm, grossed over $2,000 in sales this fall. The 13-year-old Redden’s principal cash crop is pumpkins, grown on his family’s farm. He said his specialty pumpkins — giant white Polar Bears, warty Knuckleheads, multi-colored Speckled Hounds and many more — sprout from seeds gathered from far and wide.
“We basically have an exotic pumpkin patch,” he said. “We order seeds from the Johnny Seed catalog. They come from everywhere — China, Italy, Japan — all kinds of countries.”
Like any good entrepreneur, Redden puts part of his pumpkin proceeds aside (he’s saving for his first truck), but he also gives a generous part of it away to his church, and to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. He said St. Jude is close to his heart for a reason.
“My grandfather always loved St. Jude, and he donated money to them every year,” Redden said. “He died of cancer, and now I’m keeping the tradition. I have a friend at school who has cancer, and I made my donation this year in honor of her.”
Besides his cash donation to St. Jude, Redden buys items from the St. Jude Christmas catalog to share with family and friends.
“I buy stuff for people from the catalog,” he said. “They have all kinds of stuff. I always buy a Christmas ornament for our family, and I get a stuffed animal for somebody.”
Redden, who is a seventh-grader at Tupelo Christian Preparatory School, started his business when he was just 6 years old. He said his first crop was grown for love, not for profit.
“I started out with sunflowers because my mom loves them,” he said.
Soon, Redden was peddling his surplus sunflowers in front of his mom’s beauty salon, The Beauty Boutique, in Houston.
“I’d sell them for a dollar apiece,” he said. “Then I started selling them at the farmer’s market and at the florist’s. That’s when I got into pumpkins.”
Redden still raises sunflowers, but he said they’re more profitable in the field than at the florist’s.
“I still raise sunflowers for my mom,” he said. “But the field where we grow them is such a popular photo spot, we decided to start charging people for pictures.”
Redden said he tries to provide his customers with a pumpkin for every taste and every budget.
“I’m the salesman,” he said. “I always ask people, ‘What are you looking for?’ Our smallest pumpkins are 50 cents each, and some of our giant Polar Bears sell for $25 or more.”
Like all farmers, Redden is in an ongoing battle with invasive weeds and insects. He said a couple are especially tough to deal with.
“Our biggest problem is pigweed,” he said. “It attracts army worms, and the army worms go for the pumpkins.”
Redden’s father, Jason, is a lieutenant field supervisor with the Mississippi Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. He said he leaves Maddox in charge of most of Grateful Ground’s heavy lifting, and only steps in when absolutely necessary.
“Maddox does almost everything,” he said. “I take care of spraying the chemicals, and that’s about it. On the weekends, we’ll load up the trailer and take a load of pumpkins to sell on the square in Houston.”
While he enjoys being an agricultural entrepreneur, Maddox said he’s thinking of other options for his future.
“I’m leaning toward being an engineer, or something in the ministry,” he said. “Maybe a preacher or a missionary.”
Wherever his future takes him, Maddox said country life suits him best.
“There’s a few good things about living in the city,” he said. “But overall, the country is better.”

MORA COUNTY, N.M. (KRQE) – A documentary is in the works to showcase the devastating disaster caused by the Hermit’s Peak-Calf Canyon Wildfire.
When the Hermit’s Peak-Calf Canyon Wildifre spread through the communities in Northeastern New Mexico last year, it quickly became the state’s largest wildfire in recent history.
Scott Campbell and David Luis Leal Cortez knew the public needed to see what was happening in real-time.
“We’re trying to do a film that encompasses as much as we can in the time that we have,” said Cortez.
The two producers collaborated on what is becoming the documentary ‘Mora is Burning.’ It showcases the massive wildfire that was sparked by a federally prescribed burn, the ongoing damage it left, and the frustration residents in the area still have.
“We also are hearing a lot of distress about the federal response in the aftermath of the fire, particularly, in regards to recovery,” said Campbell.
The filmmakers want the residents to feel heard.
“To have an opportunity to relate their experience both of the fire, of the floods, of the response, and of the ongoing aftermath, what the impacts are going to be,” said Campbell.
Scott and David are still collecting interviews and research, but in the meantime, a trailer of the film will be aired later this month at the Santa Fe Film Festival in Santa Fe.
“We didn’t enter; we weren’t even prepared to enter anything,” said Cortez.
Organizers knew it was an important story to tell.
“It’s going to be a thrill to be included in with such stellar people,” said Campbell.
Giving the community a sneak peek at what they’ve seen as the story continues to unfold. Showcasing disaster, loss, and a tale of resiliency.
“This is how you respond to disaster as a community and how you move forward,” said Campbell.
The trailer will air at the Santa Fe Film Festival on February 19. The full film won’t be ready until this coming fall. | 2023-02-12T22:23:24+00:00 | krqe.com | https://www.krqe.com/news/new-mexico/filmmakers-to-show-trailer-for-hermits-peak-calf-canyon-wildfire-documentary/ |
Doctors have a message for vaccine-weary Americans: Don’t skip your flu shot this fall — and seniors, ask for a special extra-strength kind.
After flu hit historically low levels during the COVID-19 pandemic, it may be poised for a comeback. The main clue: A nasty flu season just ended in Australia.
While there’s no way to predict if the U.S. will be as hard-hit, “last year we were going into flu season not knowing if flu was around or not. This year we know flu is back,” said influenza specialist Richard Webby of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis.
Annual flu shots are recommended starting with 6-month-old babies. Flu is most dangerous for people 65 and older, young children, pregnant women and people with certain health problems including heart and lung diseases.
Here’s what to know:
REVVED-UP SHOTS FOR SENIORS
As people get older, their immune system doesn’t respond as strongly to standard flu vaccination. This year, people 65 or older are urged to get a special kind for extra protection.
There are three choices. Fluzone High-Dose and Flublok each contain higher doses of the main anti-flu ingredient. The other option is Fluad Adjuvanted, which has a regular dosage but contains a special ingredient that helps boost people’s immune response.
Seniors can ask what kind their doctor carries. But most flu vaccinations are given in pharmacies and some drugstore websites, such as CVS, automatically direct people to locations offering senior doses if their birth date shows they qualify.
Webby advised making sure older relatives and friends know about the senior shots, in case they’re not told when they seek vaccination.
“They should at least ask, ‘Do you have the shots that are better for me?’” Webby said. “The bottom line is they do work better” for this age group.
If a location is out of senior-targeted doses, it’s better to get a standard flu shot than to skip vaccination, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
All flu vaccines in the U.S. — including types for people younger than 65 — are “quadrivalent,” meaning they guard against four different flu strains. Younger people have choices, too, including shots for those with egg allergies and a nasal spray version called FluMist.
WHY FLU EXPERTS ARE ON ALERT
Australia just experienced its worst flu season in five years and what happens in Southern Hemisphere winters often foreshadows what Northern countries can expect, said Dr. Andrew Pekosz of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
And people have largely abandoned masking and distancing precautions that earlier in the pandemic also helped prevent the spread of other respiratory bugs like the flu.
“This poses a risk especially to young children who may not have had much if any previous exposure to influenza viruses prior to this season,” Pekosz added.
“This year we will have a true influenza season like we saw before the pandemic,” said Dr. Jason Newland, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Washington University in St. Louis.
He said children’s hospitals already are seeing an unusual early spike in other respiratory infections including RSV, or respiratory syncytial virus, and worries flu likewise will strike earlier than usual — like it did in Australia.
The CDC advises a flu vaccine by the end of October but says they can be given any time during flu season. It takes about two weeks for protection to set in.
The U.S. expects 173 million to 183 million doses this year. And yes, you can get a flu shot and an updated COVID-19 booster at the same time — one in each arm to lessen soreness.
FLU SHOTS OF THE FUTURE
The companies that make the two most widely used COVID-19 vaccines now are testing flu shots made with the same technology. One reason: When influenza mutates, the recipes of so-called mRNA vaccines could be updated more quickly than today’s flu shots, most of which are made by growing influenza virus in chicken eggs.
Pfizer and its partner BioNTech are recruiting 25,000 healthy U.S. adults to receive either its experimental influenza shot or a regular kind, to see how effective the new approach proves this flu season.
Rival Moderna tested its version in about 6,000 people in Australia, Argentina and other countries during the Southern Hemisphere’s flu season and is awaiting results.

T.J. Ducklo, a former White House aide and the national press secretary for President Biden’s 2020 campaign, will join Biden’s reelection campaign as a senior communications adviser.
Ducklo will be based in Delaware and officially join in mid-July, the campaign confirmed to The Tennessee Lookout. Ducklo is the chief communications officer for Nashville Mayor John Cooper (D).
After the 2020 campaign, Ducklo was hired as deputy press secretary in the White House before resigning in February 2021 amid controversy over threats he made to a reporter.
He warned then-Politico reporter Tara Palmeri in an off-the-record conversation that he would “destroy her” if she published a story about his then-relationship with a reporter for Axios, Alexi McCammond, Vanity Fair reported. Ducklo also reportedly made misogynistic comments and accused Palmeri of being “jealous” of their relationship.
When there was talk of Ducklo joining the campaign in May, some Biden allies pushed back on the idea. Michael LaRosa, the former press secretary to first lady Jill Biden, accused the president’s team of being “tone-deaf” “in the post #MeToo, anti-bulling world,” Politico’s West Wing Playbook reported. But others, such as senior adviser Anita Dunn, defended him to Politico and said he took responsibility for his mistake.
The Biden campaign has announced other hires this week in the communications office.
Michael Tyler, the former national press secretary at the Democratic National Committee, will be its communications director. He is slated to start on the campaign full time at the beginning of next month.
And Rob Flaherty, Biden’s digital director, is expected to join the campaign after departing the White House this week, The Associated Press reported.
The communications team already includes Kevin Munoz, former assistant press secretary at the White House, who is now a spokesperson for the campaign.
Biden officially launched his reelection campaign in April through a video message. | 2023-06-16T19:54:02+00:00 | mytwintiers.com | https://www.mytwintiers.com/hill-politics/ex-white-house-aide-ducklo-to-join-biden-campaign/ |
Focused on green buildings, renewable energy and clean transportation, commitment deepens the bank's support of clients transitioning to a low-carbon economy
PITTSBURGH, Jan. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (NYSE: PNC) announced today the expansion of its environmental finance commitment to $30 billion. The bank initially announced in August 2021 a commitment of $20 billion over five years in support of environmental finance. Since then, PNC has completed $9 billion in environmental financing for its customers.
This commitment is an extension of PNC's ongoing support for its customers as they transition to a low-carbon economy, and is complementary to the bank's Community Benefits Plan, which pledges $88 billion in loans, investments, and other financial support to bolster economic opportunity for low- and moderate-income (LMI) individuals and communities, people and communities of color, and other underserved individuals and communities.
"PNC continuously assesses ways in which we, as a financial institution, can support our clients' ambitions as they work toward their own climate transition goals," said Michael P. Lyons, head of Corporate & Institutional Banking. "The expansion of our environmental finance commitment is a natural next step as client demand increases."
The $30 billion environmental finance goal is comprised of the following pillars which may evolve over time:
- Green Buildings – loans for buildings that meet third party-recognized standards or certifications, including LEED and ENERGY STAR.
- Renewable Energy – financing for renewable energy production and transmission, including wind, solar, geothermal and hydropower.
- Clean Transportation – financing for zero and low emissions vehicles, electric vehicle charging stations, and zero and low emissions passenger or freight/rolling stock.
- Environmental sustainability-linked bonds and loans which align to third-party frameworks such as the Green Bond Principles, and loans linked to environmental Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) or those with designated environmentally sustainable use of proceeds.
As a result of its recent integration of BBVA USA's footprint, PNC is also planning to establish new, ambitious, science-aligned environmental targets for its operational footprint, including further reducing carbon emissions, and energy and water consumption. These new targets will use a base year of 2022 – the first full year of combined PNC and BBVA USA operations – and will be announced as part of PNC's Corporate Responsibility Report to be published this year.
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is one of the largest diversified financial services institutions in the United States, organized around its customers and communities for strong relationships and local delivery of retail and business banking including a full range of lending products; specialized services for corporations and government entities, including corporate banking, real estate finance and asset-based lending; wealth management and asset management.

Nicole whips 100-mph gust at NASA's moon rocket on Kennedy Space Center launch pad
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Even before making landfall, Hurricane Nicole produced nearly 90-mph wind gusts on Florida's Space Coast, where NASA's Space Launch System rocket is on the launch pad awaiting its mission to the moon.
NASA managers decided earlier this week to leave the 322-foot-tall moon rocket and Orion spacecraft at Kennedy Space Center Launch Pad 39B, where it has been since the rollout on Nov. 4.
Nicole made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane with 75-mph winds around 3 a.m. near Vero Beach, Florida, about 70 miles south of Kennedy Space Center.
Earlier in the week, NASA said the National Hurricane Center forecast for Nicole was within the margin the SLS rocket is certified to withstand.
WHAT IS NASA'S ARTEMIS 1 MISSION GOING TO DO?
"Current forecasts predict the greatest risks at the pad are high winds that are not expected to exceed the SLS design," NASA wrote in a blog post. "The rocket is designed to withstand heavy rains at the launch pad and the spacecraft hatches have been secured to prevent water intrusion."
According to NASA, the SLS can remain at the launch pad with peak winds up to 74.1 knots (85 mph) at 60 feet up.

Around 2 a.m., an 86-mph wind gust was recorded on a lightning tower near the Kennedy Space Center launch pad – exceeding the SLS certification – according to the National Weather Service. After landfall, a 100-mph (87-knot) gust was recorded at Pad 39B.
Weather sensors are mounted to the three towers that create the launchpad's lightning protection system. All three sensors recorded wind gusts well above the engineering threshold NASA said SLS is built to withstand.
Hours after Nicole's landfall, the launch towers continued to report sustained winds of around 60 mph.

After the threat of Nicole has passed, engineers will need to inspect the $4 billion rocket and Orion spacecraft for any damages.
NASA moved its next Artemis 1 launch attempt to Nov. 16 to allow more time to assess the rocket and launch facility. | 2022-11-10T16:10:50+00:00 | fox6now.com | https://www.fox6now.com/news/hurricane-nicole-sls-moon-rocket-launch-pad |
When I set foot in the cavernous Georgetown Steam Plant, it was like entering a time machine. The hulking tanks, pipes, and rows of gleaming pressure gauges all seem plucked from a steampunk Tumblr page. “Are these stairs up to code?” I joked to my friend as we ascended rickety wooden steps to the upper level. Dusk light cast the brass railings in shades of gold.
The steam plant is one of Seattle’s best-kept secrets. Built in 1906, just as Seattle’s population was skyrocketing, the plant once powered our electric streetcar system. But as Seattle shifted to hydropower, it soon became obsolete. When the Duwamish River was rerouted in 1911 to allow for larger ships, the plant lost easy access to its water source. It was ultimately decommissioned in 1977, and declared a National Historical Landmark in 1984.
Today, the space is an arts and education hub, with year-round circus, dance, and photography shows. On Saturday, May 13, local photographer and School of Art + Art History + Design professor Eirik Johnson’s show “Leviathan Rising” debuted there. It will be on display through Sunday, May 21, and is free and open to the public.
His exhibition uses the distinct moods of the steam plant to its advantage. The main turbine hall, with its high ceilings and echoey acoustics, is the ideal venue for Johnson’s sound piece. With its rumbling, pulsating tones, his score evokes industrial activity.
Visitors may be surprised, then, to learn that it’s actually composed of recordings from beneath the Duwamish River. Johnson spurs the visitor to step back in time once again and reflect on the river’s original path.
On the plant’s upper level, visitors cross a slender bridge to reach the dark, shadowy boiler room. In this more intimate space, Johnson has projected his gorgeous, beguiling photographs. It’s impossible to resist the urge to stick your head in the coal shoveling holes and shout, “Hello?”
Having read about the project beforehand, I played a game with friends, asking them to guess what the photos depict. Most were totally stumped. With their swirling patterns and hues of burnt orange, cyan, and teal, the photos look more like abstract art than, well, photos. Forgive me for spoiling the answer: These are, in fact, the hulls of boats docked on the shores of the Duwamish. The buildup of rust, salt, and other debris create otherworldly colors and shapes.
One of the joys of “Leviathan Rising” is letting your imagination run wild and spin interpretations. To me, these pools of rust evoke flowers, while deep scratches look like claw marks. Either way, you won’t look at boats the same way after seeing these photos.
The art and steam plant have a symbiotic relationship, each informing the other. One woman wondered, as she poked her head into a dusty office, “Is this part of it?” Indeed, it’s hard to tell what’s art and what isn’t. Johnson’s work thrives off of just this kind of synthesis, marrying the industrial with the graceful. Whether you’re a STEM major or an arts kid, “Leviathan Rising” is a must-see.
More information on the Georgetown Steam Plant and “Leviathan Rising” can be found on their respective websites.

(The Hill) – Home price growth over the past decade drastically increased the wealth of homeowners across all income levels, according to a new report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR).
NAR’s report found the value of homes middle-income homeowners purchased rose by more than $122,000 since 2012 — a gain of 68 percent. Low-income and upper-income homeowners accumulated $98,900 and $150,800 in higher home values, respectively.
Homeowners who lived in some of the nation’s most expensive metros, like San Jose, Calif., saw the largest gains. In the San Jose metro, low-income owners have accumulated nearly $630,000 in the last decade, and middle-income owners gained $643,000, according to the report.
For the report, NAR used the American Community Survey’s Public Microdata Sample to estimate the homeownership rate and the median home value of homes owned across the income spectrum and racial and ethnic groups at the national and metro level.
“This analysis shows how homeownership is a catalyst for building wealth for people from all walks of life,” said Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist. “A monthly mortgage payment is often considered a forced savings account that helps homeowners build a net worth about 40 times higher than that of a renter.”
Among racial and ethnic groups, Asian homeowners accumulated the largest wealth gain at $239,430. Black homeowners experienced the smallest 10-year gain at $115,430.
The report also showed that alongside wealth gains, homeowners’ mortgage debt declined by 21 percent over the same 10-year period, and owners who refinanced during the pandemic boom when mortgage rates hit historic lows may have paid off an even greater amount of their mortgages.
Mortgage rates increased by more than 2 percentage points from the pandemic lows while the Federal Reserve battled inflation with a string of interest rate hikes. After reaching more than 7 percent in the fall, the 30-year fixed mortgage rate is down to 6.27 percent after four straight weeks of declines. | 2023-04-18T18:06:07+00:00 | kxnet.com | https://www.kxnet.com/news/national-news/middle-income-households-gained-122000-in-home-value-after-decade-of-soaring-prices-analysis-finds/ |

BOISE, Idaho — A fourth-down interception by Gabe Hunter sealed the deal for Boise State Friday, as the Broncos knocked off Utah State 42-23 at Albertsons Stadium.
Considering his 2022 performance, its fitting Taylen Green ended the contest with a 91-yard touchdown run on the next play to give Boise State a perfect 8-0 record in Mountain West play and senior day victory.
After jumping out to a 21-0 lead, Boise State (9-3, 8-0 MW) found itself up just 28-23 prior to the heads-up play by Hunter, Green's scamper and a interception returned for six by Seyi Oladipo.
The Broncos have now won seven-straight over the Aggies (6-6, 5-3 MW) and are heading to the Mountain West Championship at home Saturday, Dec. 3 at 2 p.m. MT.
KTVB's three instant takeaways from Friday's win:
1) Skinner ejection creates energy
Early in the first quarter, Boise State standout safety JL Skinner had his senior day cut short on a targeting call. Skinner drilled a Utah State player who caught a pass in the middle of the field on a fake punt.
The was questionable, and resulted in Skinner's ejection. The senior was visibly frustrated on his way to the sideline as he talked to head coach Andy Avalos and defensive lineman Scott Matlock.
Although disappointing for Skinner, the ejection sparked a run for Boise State after both teams punted three times to start the contest.
With Skinner out, and his strong safety backup Alexander Teubner also out Friday, Tyreque Jones moved from the nickel spot to cover the back end. Seyi Oladipo filled in at nickel.
On Utah State's first 25 plays of the game, the Aggies totaled just 33 yards.
Six plays after the ejection, Utah State missed a field goal to break the 0-0 deadlock after the ball hit a lineman. From there, Boise State slammed the gas pedal, using the Skinner loss as motivation.
On the Broncos' next offensive possession, Taylen Green and Co. marched 65 yards in nine plays to score the first touchdown of the game on a six-yard touchdown pass to Eric McAlister.
Avalos seemed calm and more concerned with assuring Skinner after the questionable targeting call. However, when McAlister found the end zone to ignite Albertsons Stadium, Avalos was fired up.
Spencer Danielson's defense limited Utah State to a total of three yards on its three drives following Skinner's ejection. The hard-hitting safety continued to support his teammates from the sidelines of Albertsons Stadium.
Skinner will be available for the entire Mountain West Championship next week against Fresno State, since his ejection came in the first half of Friday's game.
2) McAlister continues to standout
Roughly one month ago, McAlister was yet to have a reception in 2022. Entering the season, he was not even listed as a top-six wide receiver on Boise State's two-deep depth chart ahead of the opener at Oregon State.
The Texas native grabbed his first pass on Oct. 22 against Air Force, picking up 44 yards and igniting the engine. Fast forward 30 days, and McAlister – along with the No. 1 X wideout, Billy Bowens – are playing a massive part in Boise State's success.
During the Broncos' three-game stretch of Colorado State, BYU and Nevada, McAlister tallied six receptions for 151 yards and a touchdown.
On the first score of the game from six yards out, McAlister confidently reeled in a six-yard touchdown in the back right corner of the end zone on a nice pass from Green.
Green found the second-year freshman receiver for another score less than 10 minutes later. With McAlister between two defenders in the middle of the end zone, Green trusted his guy on a 25-yard toss.
McAlister's second touchdown put the Broncos up 21-0.
Latrell Caples also got in on the scoring action between the McAlister touchdowns. Caples burned his defender down the middle of the field, allowing Green to air it out on the 50-yard hookup.
It could be more than just the Skinner ejection, but considering the way the blue and orange rolled in the second quarter, the Broncos were fired up for their senior safety.
Boise State defensive coordinator Dirk Koetter seemed to smell blood in the water with the Broncos on a roll. Prior to the first McAlister score, Koetter dialed up a deep ball that saw Green and Bowens connect for 41 yards.
On the Broncos' third scoring drive, Green found Matt Lauter for 29 yards. On the next play, Green aired it out deep to Bowens again, drawing a pass interference that gave Boise State the ball across midfield.
Green iced Friday's win with a 91-yard touchdown carry, the longest in Boise State history. The second-year freshman finished 14-of-23 with 220 yards and four touchdowns through the air.
3) Schramm, Simpson and Scott shine
Prior to kickoff Friday, the following Broncos were ruled out:
Cade Beresford (OL), Michael Callahan (DL), Stefan Cobbs (WR), Will Ferrin (K/P), Herbert Gums (DT), Cord Kringlen (OL), Ezekiel Noa (LB), Riley Smith (TE), Alex Teubner (S), Demitri Washington (EDGE), Zion Washington (S) and Cole Wright (WR).
After giving up just 108 total yards in the first half, the missing pieces started to show for Boise State. The Aggies muscled their way back into the game, going for 195 total yards and 10 points in 15 minutes.
During the third quarter, defensive end Ahmed Hassanein left the game with an injury and the explosive Tyreque Jones went down early in the fourth quarter.
With a reshaped squad looking to move forward to next week's title game, Boise State's linebackers stepped up to lead the way.
Fifth-year senior DJ Schramm was all over The Blue Friday, racking up a team-high 14 tackles, including four tackles-for-loss. Without Noa by his side, Schramm made sure his presence was felt often.
Schramm also came up with a three-yard loss as Utah State neared the end zone on third down late in Friday's game.
Norwalk, Calif., native Andrew Simpson also stepped up against the Aggies, taking a page out of Skinner's book with a handful of hard-hitting tackles and a pass breakup.
Simpson, a second-year freshman, tallied nine solo tackles and eight total. He added a sack and two tackles-for-loss to stuff the stat sheet.
Notables:
- Jones was eventually carted off the field. At the end of Friday's game, the Broncos were down to Bryce Cleave at safety, a redshirt freshman walk-on player.
- George Holani did not appear in the fourth quarter against the Aggies. Holani was seen with ice on his shoulder on the sideline after reaching for the goal line on a 27-yard carry.
- For the second time in a row against Utah State, Matlock scored a touchdown on a reception in the end zone. The 1-yard score was a perfect play for senior day.

ST. MARY PARISH, La. (KLFY)– A St. Mary Parish couple says they are tired of literally living next door to pigs.
For the past 18 years, the Aucoins have been battling odors, flies and pig waste spilling onto their property.
And for the past six years they have been legally battling to find a solution to fix it and say they just want a better quality of life.
Andrew Aucoin and his wife Peggy live near the Bayou Teche and say their lives have been turned upside down ever since their next-door neighbor built a hog pen.
“The Landrys started using their property for agricultural purposes and primarily to raise hogs on their property and to sell feed,” Aucoin said.
Over an 18-year span, three hog pens have been built causing waste, chemicals and pig urine to flow on their property and into the Teche.
Megan Terrell, an environmental attorney representing the Aucoins, said her clients reached out in 2016 to different agencies requesting help because their neighbors were violating multiple laws.
“So around 2016 the state agencies department of environmental quality and the department of natural resources, came out to the property and cited the Landry’s for violating the state water quality laws, the state solid waste laws, and for purposes of one of the hauled pins that was built in a wetland habitat and cited them for violation of the coastal use laws.” Terrell said.
On behalf of her clients, Terrell said she filed a motion for summary judgment to have the Landrys’ operation shut down to give the Aucoins temporary relief until a trial is set, but the motion was denied.
Instead, she said, the Aucoins will continue living in their current conditions until they appear before a jury.
“So we will be allowed to move forward with a jury trial,” Terrell said. “We’ll decide whether we also want to appeal the judge’s ruling from today.”
Terrell said they are concerned not only about the exposure to chemicals and waste, but the water being contaminated by what it is being allowed to run into it.
“That is certainly our argument that the operation should be shut down,” she said. “And then the Aucoins can go outside and have you know, family and friends over in their backyard. Which they’ve been unable to do for several years now.” | 2023-04-14T17:49:53+00:00 | cenlanow.com | https://www.cenlanow.com/state-news/st-mary-parish-couple-says-neighbors-hog-pens-creating-hazard/ |

Father reacts to 11-year-old son’s stabbing, allegedly by another student
PERTH AMBOY, N.J. (News 12 New Jersey) - An 11-year-old fifth grader is hospitalized after a fellow student - a sixth grader - stabbed him with a household knife following a dispute.
School officials said it happened Wednesday afternoon just as classes were dismissed.
The victim’s family wants to know how a middle school student smuggled a knife into school without getting caught.
Smailyn Jimenez won’t be returning to his classroom at Samuel E. Shull Middle School in Perth Amboy any time soon.
He just underwent surgery Thursday evening at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick after being stabbed while walking home from school.
His father Juan Jimenez, trying to hold back the tears, said that even though his son is making progress, doctors say it would take him about three years to recover.
He said his son was stabbed twice in the abdomen and that one of the veins to his heart was damaged.
He alleged the attack was unprovoked by a sixth and a seventh grader from the same school who followed his son right after dismissal around 2:40 p.m. and that it happened two blocks away from his home.
Jimenez said his boy was walking alone.
According to authorities, an 11-year-old sixth grader was taken into custody Wednesday night and is currently housed at the Middlesex County Juvenile Detention Center.
He was charged with juvenile delinquency for crimes that, if committed by an adult, would be attempted murder, aggravated assault and weapons charges.
Based on the police investigation, it appears to be an isolated incident as the minor acted alone in the perpetuated crimes.
Smailyn’s family is the demanding justice and that the second boy they allege was involved in the stabbing is also held accountable.
The board of education’s attorney issued a statement on behalf of the school district, saying, “As a school community, we are devastated by this senseless act of violence. The school administration has reached out to the family to provide support.”
Jimenez said he is thanking a good Samaritan who, after seeing Smailyn bleeding, picked him up, put him in her car and spotted an ambulance passing by.

HOUSTON (AP) — Abraham Toro pinch-hit for injured All-Star Julio Rodriguez and delivered a two-run single with two outs in the ninth inning as the Seattle Mariners rallied past the AL-West leading Houston Astros 5-4 on Saturday night.
Rodriguez was hit on the back of the hand as he swung at a pitch in the top of the eighth inning. He struck out, but played in the field in the bottom half of the inning before being lifted in the ninth.
Seattle manager Scott Servais said Rodriguez would get X-rays later Saturday.
“He did not feel comfortable with a bat in his hand,” Servais said. “So, we’ll pray that it is not broke.”
The 21-year-old Rodriguez, who was 0 for 4 with three strikeouts, has 18 homers and 57 RBIs and is batting .274 in his rookie season.
The Mariners beat Houston for the first time since June 8, snapping a five-game losing streak to the Astros.
Ryan Pressly (3-3) entered the ninth inning having converted 21 of his 24 save opportunities this season. Pressly gave up two runs on two hits, walked one and struck out two in the loss in his first blown save since June 23, which came against the New York Yankees.
“He’s somebody that is generally aggressive, so I know he likes to attack the zone,” Toro, who played parts of three seasons with Houston, said of Pressly. “I was already swinging from the get-go.”
Astros manager Dusty Baker added: “He has been a thorn in our side since we traded him over there. It was a big hit that he got tonight.”
Erik Swanson (2-0) pitched a scoreless eighth inning and earned the win, and Paul Sewald recorded his 13th save in 16 attempts.
“We’ve had some crazy come-from-behind wins, crazy games since I’ve been here,” Servais said. “This one may be near the top of the list with all the stuff that happened and where we’re at.”
Seattle starter Chris Flexen set down eight straight batters at one point, but didn’t figure in the decision. Flexen allowed two runs on three hits with four walks and a strikeout in 5 1/3 innings. It was his third no-decision in his last eight starts.
Aledmys Diaz led off the fifth with a solo homer to left field. Diaz has hit three home runs in the last two games and nine for the season. Diaz finished 3 for 3 with two RBIs.
Trailing 3-2 in the seventh, Houston rallied with back-to-back doubles by Martín Maldonado and Jose Altuve and a single from Yuli Gurriel for a 4-3 lead.
Seattle pushed across three runs on singles from Eugenio Suárez and Adam Frazier, and a fielder’s choice by J.P. Crawford in the first as Valdez hit two batters in the frame.
Valdez settled in after the first and allowed three runs on five hits, walking one and striking out seven in seven innings. It marks his majors-leading 18th quality start and his 17th straight, the second-longest streak in Astros history.
“It was big for me being able to bounce back from something like that,” Valdez said. “Just showing the intensity and the focus that I can have after having a rough inning being able to pitch the rest of the game.”
HELMET HURT
Seattle’s Sam Haggerty was hit in the forehead by his thrown helmet after he failed to bunt in the ninth inning and tossed his gear in frustration. The helmet bounced back up and hit him in the head.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Mariners: LHP Tommy Milone was placed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday with a cervical muscle strain. As a result, LHP Brennan Bernardino was selected from Triple-A Tacoma and OF Marcus Wilson was designated for assignment. … OF Dylan Moore left Saturday’s game with back spasms.
UP NEXT
Mariners: George Kirby (2-3, 3.50 ERA) is set to make his first start against the Astros on Sunday to close out the four-game series. Last time out, Kirby got a no-decision against Texas, giving up no runs on two hits and striking out four in five innings.
Astros: Jake Odorizzi (4-3, 4.25 ERA) is slated to start Sunday, looking to get back on the winning side. Odorizzi’s last win came on July 10, at Oakland. Last time out, Odorizzi was tagged for six runs on seven hits in a loss to the Athletics.

In honor of the upcoming July Fourth holiday, one chain of gas stations has decided it wants to give its customers a little freedom from financial stress at the pump due to the record-high prices we’re all seeing.
Sheetz, which operates more than 640 locations in the United States, across the mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions, announced on June 27 that it had lowered the price of gas to $3.99 a gallon for unleaded fuel at its locations through July 4. Drivers who are able to use E85 fuel, which contains a higher concentration of ethanol and is designed for eco-friendly flexible fuel vehicles, will save even more with a price of $3.49 per gallon during the promotion.
While some individually owned gas stations have made similar moves to lower prices for their customers during the recent hike, Sheetz’s company-wide markdown seems to be the first large-scale effort to help ease consumers’ economic strain.
Finding a Sheetz gas station near you, whether you’re staying close to home or hitting the road soon, is as easy as going to the company’s official station location search and entering an address, state, or ZIP Code. From there, you can plan your gas stops to align with a Sheetz location to save a little money.
Gas Prices Not Stopping July 4 Travel
As of June 27, AAA reports the national average price for a gallon of unleaded gas is $4.89.
“Today’s national average of $4.89 is nine cents less than a week ago, 30 cents more than a month ago, and $1.80 more than a year ago,” AAA said in its weekly report released on June 27.
Yet, even with gas prices still taking a big bite out of people’s budgets, AAA predicted a record number of travelers hitting the road for the July 4 holiday weekend: nearly 48 million people will travel at least 50 miles from home between June 30 and July 4, with 42 million of those travelers heading out on vacation via car. Overall, AAA said these numbers are a 3.7% increase from 2021’s statistics and almost back to the levels seen in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
“The volume of travelers we expect to see over Independence Day is a definite sign that summer travel is kicking into high gear,” said Paula Twidale, senior vice president, AAA Travel in a June 21 statement. “Earlier this year, we started seeing the demand for travel increase and it’s not tapering off. People are ready for a break and despite things costing more, they are finding ways to still take that much-needed vacation.”

DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) — Egypt, host of the next United Nations summit on climate change, will push countries to make good on their pledges to sharply reduce greenhouse gas emissions, facilitate “non-adversarial” talks on compensation to developing countries for global warming impacts and allow climate activists to protest, said the incoming president of COP27.
In an interview Monday with The Associated Press, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, who is also the president-designate of the next annual Conference of the Parties, to be held in November in the Red Sea resort city Sharm El-Sheikh, called the overall goal “implementation.”
Shoukry said the last summit, held last year in Glasgow, Scotland, finalized many commitments made during the Paris Agreement in 2015, which aimed to reduce emissions aimed at limiting global warming to 1.5 Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) since pre-industrial times.
“The commitments and the pledges now have to be implemented in all sectors of the climate change agenda, whether it’s in adaptation, mitigation or finance, loss and damage,” said Shoukry, who was attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
In recent years, many developing nations and activists have increased long-standing calls to establish a fund to compensate poor countries for devastation brought about by climate change, disproportionately caused by rich countries because of past emissions.
The call was rejected during last year’s summit. Many supporters of the idea, often called “loss and damage,” hope to make progress on it in November. Their arguments could get a boost by the symbolic significance of this conference being held in Egypt, a developing nation in North Africa.
“We hope that the discussion (on loss and damage) is comprehensive, but it is non-adversarial,” said, Shoukry, adding that there should be a recognition among all countries “that we are all in the same boat and for us to succeed, we all have to succeed.”
Shoukry said protests would be allowed during the conference. Egyptian authorities crack down on demonstrations not sanctioned by the government and retain the right to cancel or postpone any protests, leading activists to wonder what, if any, demonstrations would be able to happen, a common occurrence at previous COPs.
“We are developing a facility adjacent to the conference center that will provide them the full opportunity of participation, of activism, of demonstration, of voicing that opinion,” said Shoukry. “And we will also provide them access, as is traditionally done on one day of the negotiations, to the negotiating hold itself.”
Protests at global U.N. climate conferences often fill the streets with floats and banners and go on for days. The protests as well as booths and press conferences outside the official facilities make up a conference of their own, although they are not where critical language on carbon commitments is hammered out.
Shoukry said during meetings in Denmark earlier this month around climate pledges he invited protesters who were outside to speak with him. He called the meeting “productive” and that Egypt’s climate goals lined up with those of many protesters.
“We recognize their impact, their determination, their commitment to keep us all honest as governmental representatives and parties that we should not be delinquent and rising to the occasion and dealing with this very important issue,” he said.
Ahead of hosting the conference, Egypt has been racing to launch many agreements around renewable energies. In March, Egypt and Norway signed an agreement for several projects around green hydrogen and building green infrastructure projects in African countries. Egypt and clean energy company Scatec also signed a $5 billion memorandum of understanding to establish a plant in the Suez Canal area for producing green ammonia from green hydrogen. Such deals come on the heels of years of steady investment in wind and solar technologies.
Shoukry said Egypt was relying as much as possible on renewable energy in the building of several new cities, including a new administrative capital east of Cairo. Critics have called it a “vanity project,” but the government has said it’s necessary to absorb Cairo’s booming population, expected to double to 40 million people by 2050.
Shoukry said a rapid shift to renewable energies presented enormous opportunities for investors, a common argument of proponents. When asked whether fossil fuel companies could or should be part of the transition to renewable energies, an argument made by oil and gas companies, including many at the Davos conference, Shoukry disagreed.
“I can’t say that fossil fuels are part of the solution. Fossil fuels have been the problem,” he said. “We might see in gas a transitional source of energy with certainly less emissions. But I think we have to really move quickly to the net zero goal and we have to apply ourselves more effectively in new technologies, in renewable energy.”

VENICE — Three years ago, a historic rush of water surged into this city, inundating restaurants and churches, tossing boats onto streets, and leaving Venetians distressed about a future with ever more extreme events. But this past week, one of those events arrived — a tide nearly as large as 2019’s — and residents barely noticed, aside from some wind and rain. The city was spared from disaster.
That’s because of a $6 billion engineering project designed to protect Venice from mass flooding and the exhausting cycle of cleanup and recovery. The lagoon city’s inlets are now guarded by 78 rectangular metal barriers, each the height of a five-story building, that are pumped with air and raised from the sea floor any time high waters threaten it.
It’s a landmark climate change solution, one requiring 30 years of planning and 20 years of construction, that has reduced fears of Venice turning into a modern-day Atlantis.
“A great satisfaction,” said Giovanni Zarotti, the technical director for the Consorzio Venezia Nuova, a consortium of construction companies that operates the barrier system. “Because we have in our hands the fate of something priceless.”
But for one of the world’s most fragile cities, there is a difference between being protected and being saved.
The system that safeguards Venice could become stressed with even a 30-centimeter sea-level rise, its operator says — something that middle-of-the-road projections indicate could come by mid-century. With luck, and if major nations dramatically cut back emissions, the MOSE, as the system is known, could yet work for 100 years as designed, scientists say. But more dire scenarios would trim the system’s life span by decades.
The result is that a just-reinforced city remains vulnerable in the longer term.
“50 years, 100 years — somewhere between those two dates,” said Pierpaolo Campostrini, the director of a research consortium that studies the Venetian lagoon. “That doesn’t mean the MOSE is not useful. But we know it’s temporary.”
Many low-lying and jeopardized parts of the world don’t have the resources to properly defend themselves against rising seas, flooding and other extreme events. But Venice’s experience shows the challenges of adaptation even when little expense is spared. Italy has made it a national mission to safeguard Venice, a maze of Middle Ages treasure built improbably over 118 islands. Although some of the project’s difficulties have been specific — a corruption scandal in 2014 led to a wave of arrests and personnel changes — one of the lessons is more universal: It’s hard to aim a big, slow project at faster-moving science.

Viewed up close, the scale of the MOSE is stunning. The yellow barriers, end-to-end, span nearly a mile and are operated in part from an artificial island that workers liken to a concrete fortress. A day-long Washington Post tour included a walk through underwater tunnels used for maintenance and inspection — a hidden world of air compression pipes and dials just three miles from the campanile and cupolas of old Venice.
In contrast with the permanently visible dams and dikes constructed in places such as the Netherlands, the raisable gates of the MOSE are hidden away on the sea floor. That allows the lagoon on most days to operate as normal. Ships can come and go. And crucially, so can the tides, with saltwater from the Adriatic helping to flush out the lagoon and prevent it from becoming a fetid petri dish.
But there is a downside to the project’s inherent concept, which was finalized in the 1990s, an early age of climate science: It was designed to be used infrequently. Eventually, rising seas will force the MOSE to operate so regularly that it becomes a semi-permanent seal, altering the lagoon’s environment, preventing the flow of marine traffic, and straining the system itself, which needs regular maintenance. The only question, among operators and scientists, is when that tipping point will come.
For now, the MOSE is being used only sparingly, usually in the winter, when higher winds tend to build storm surges across the Adriatic. Each use costs roughly $300,000, with workers dispatched to the artificial island, as patrol boats cordon off maritime traffic.
But if the seas rise even 30 cm, the MOSE would be raised one day in every three or four. Zarotti said that would stress the system, making it hard to perform maintenance and interfering with maritime traffic. Asked if the MOSE would be sustainable at a 30-cm rise, he said: “The way I see it, no.”
And if seas rise 60 cm — a scenario that’s well within play for 2100 — the MOSE would be used up to 500 times per year. More dire projections for 2100 suggest a sea rise beyond one meter. By then, the lagoon would be closed essentially year-round.
Alberto Scotti, the engineer who is often described as the father of the project, said the MOSE could be stretched to operate with a 60-cm rise, but it would require some novel steps — such as raising some barriers but not all, sacrificing a degree of protection to allow the lagoon to more regularly breathe.
Another step, he said, would involve increasing the threshold for when the system is deployed. In other words: Venice would need to acquiesce to low-level inundation.
“Today nobody can accept the idea of a few centimeters of flooding after spending so much money,” Scotti said. “But in the future? By then, other cities along the Adriatic will have already been lost.”
—
In so many instances through history, Venice has found ways to defy its precarious environment. The earliest engineers figured out how to construct buildings on mud flats, using wooden posts as foundations. Experts during the Renaissance orchestrated a monumental plan to divert rivers that were spilling sediment into the lagoon and risked turning water into land. Three centuries ago, workers built up barrier islands with impermeable rocks, improving them as natural storm walls.
But Venice’s margins for survival have gotten narrower.
Compared with 150 years ago, the average water level is 32 cm higher. That’s partly because of melting ice sheets and rising oceans. But it’s also because of a catastrophic decision in the 1950s and 1960s, in which groundwater was pumped from underground aquifers for industrial purposes — a move that caused Venice to sink roughly 12 cm.
In a city so close to sea level, those centimeters matter profoundly.
Before the introduction of the MOSE, the once-per-decade floods of a century ago had begun to happen four times per year. Of the city’s 20 biggest recorded high-water events, 11 occurred since 2000.
The iconic Piazza San Marco, ringed by the Gothic Doge’s palace and a gilded basilica dating back to 1063, rarely took on water through most of its history. Now, even with the MOSE activated on the most extreme days, the piazza — which also happens to be Venice’s lowest-lying point — floods about 100 days per year.
“You no longer need exceptional weather to cause this,” said Alvise Papa, the director of Venice’s weather prediction service.
As Papa walked into the piazza during the high tide of midmorning, seagulls lapped up water, and little lakes spread around the legs of outdoor cafe tables. Tourists walked in tight lines along high-rise planks, while a few, in waders, posed for photos.
By design, flooding is tolerated in up to 12 percent of the city. The MOSE is intended to kick in on days the water is forecast to top 110 cm above “level zero” — the mean level from the late 1800s, when Venice first started keeping records.

“At 75 cm the flooding starts in the piazza and by 95 everything is covered,” Papa said.
Smartphone apps, using his center’s data, showed high water marks for each of the next few days.
On this day: 90 cm.
The following day: 95.
The little inundations, ebbing as the tide recedes, do little to disrupt life in the city. But they are damaging nonetheless, leaving behind salt crystals that can devastate the ancient buildings. Mario Piana, the restoration expert in charge of Basilica di San Marco, describes a treasure that has been aging on super-speed, with accumulated salt breaking down plaster, chipping away at walls and damaging mosaics and irreplaceable marbles from Byzantium.
With the barriers only used for higher-water events, the basilica was recently forced to build protection of its own: Its exterior is now fenced off by a glass barrier, reaching chest high, and extending two meters underground. Water in the piazza now stops at the basilica doors.
—
There are other projects too — many completed, some not — designed to supplement the MOSE. The Consorzio Venezia Nuova has worked to restore salt marshes and strengthen the barrier islands, adding new sand formations and breakwaters. In much of the city, pavement has been raised to 110 cm, the MOSE activation level.Soon, workers will begin similar elevation work in Piazza San Marco.
But those are relatively modest projects.
Scientists and other experts on the lagoon say the MOSE has forestalled serious exploration of bigger ideas.
“Whatever was seen as an alternative to the MOSE — canceled!” Campostrini said. “Officials always said, let’s finish the MOSE first. Then think about what comes next.”
Even now, the MOSE is not technically finished. It has been operating for two years in experimental mode. Engineers say they are still completing the last backup systems. The project is expected to be officially wrapped up next year.
But given the potential limits on its life span, some experts say it’s already necessary to begin considering successor solutions.
Among the long-term proposals, the most prominent calls for the injection of seawater into aquifers deep underground. Such injections, performed at various boreholes that would be created throughout town, could raise Venice some 20 to 25 cm — in effect wiping away 150 years of sinking and sea change, said Pietro Teatini, one of the hydraulic engineers behind the idea.
Similar injections have been used by energy companies for gas storage, and to help mitigate sinking or otherwise raise land under population centers such as Tokyo and Taipei.

Scientists who spoke to The Post were highly divided about the idea for Venice. One called it “terrible” and worried about how the city’s surface could be raised evenly. Yet others said the idea might work. Testing would first need to be performed on a small scale.
“We presented the idea — I really don’t remember, 15 years ago,” Teatini said. “What happened? They said, okay, seems good, but please wait. The official [government] answer was: Wait.”
Such a system, if it ever came to pass, could work in tandem with the MOSE. But Georg Umgiesser, an oceanographer who has spent 40 years modeling the rising waters of the lagoon, said he anticipates that Venice will be eventually forced into a cruder method to block the seas: a permanent wall. When delivering seminars to students or at scientific conferences, he includes a slide saying that it’s not a matter of if, but when.
A sea wall would transform the lagoon in ways Venetians have been adamantly against. The waters around the city would turn into a brackish lake. Fishing habitats would be jeopardized. So would the entranceways to ports. The city would need to find a new way to keep the water clean.
Umgiesser, the director of CNR-Ismar, an Italian national research council, said that “nobody wants to hear about this idea right now.”
Maybe, he said, some yet-unknown technology can stave off what he feels is inevitable.
Barring that, he said, “there will be no other idea that can save Venice.” | 2022-11-26T10:21:32+00:00 | washingtonpost.com | https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solutions/2022/11/26/venice-floods-mose-barrier-climate/ |
Global Artists Avril Lavigne, Mai Kuraki, Apocalyptica, Chinese Top Virtual Idol Luo Tianyi and More Join the Celebration
SHANGHAI, Jan. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Bilibili Inc. ("Bilibili" or the "Company"), an iconic brand and a leading video community for the young generation in China, held "The Most Beautiful Night of 2022" on December 31, 2022 - its fourth consecutive New Year's Eve Gala - to celebrate the New Year holiday with its users and the young generation. The peak popularity index of the livestream reached 330 million.
This year's audio-visual spectacular featured well-known international and Chinese artists, as well as popular Bilibili creators, presenting innovative shows with diverse flavors from China and abroad. It showcased the most beloved characters, music, and stories from animation, comics, games (ACGs), films, and TV shows that resonate with China's Generation Z and Millennial audiences.
Bilibili's New Year's Eve Galas are not just about gathering the hottest celebrities, they also focus on presenting and reinterpreting iconic cultural elements that have deeply impacted the young generation throughout their lives, as well as the hottest topics from the Bilibili community over the past year.
"I hope that Bilibili can become an important part of China's youth culture, and continue to grow alongside our young users," said Carly Lee, vice chairwoman of the board of directors and chief operating officer of Bilibili.
Fusion of Global Cultures and Arts
With the aim to promote cross-cultural communication among the young generation globally, the 2022 celebration featured a fusion of global cultures and arts by several famous international and Chinese artists, including Canadian pop star and Grammy Awards winner Avril Lavigne, who performed her hits such as Girlfriend and Complicated; and Finnish symphonic heavy metal band Apocalyptica with a medley of familiar tunes from the classic Japanese anime such as Yu-Gi-Oh!, Fairy Tail, One Punch Man and JOJO. Mai Kuraki, Jay Park, Henry Lau (Liu Xianhua), Jackson Wang, G.E.M, and Zhou Shen also appeared on the show. "The Most Beautiful Night of 2022" was broadcast live in mainland China and was available to audiences overseas.
The "cross-cultural communication" wouldn't be complete without a fresh interpretation of traditional Chinese culture. As more Bilibili users, content creators, and the young Chinese generation have begun to embrace their heritage, the Gala also reinterpreted traditional Chinese culture elements through creative performances.
For example, Chinese famous sunray (suona) player Yazhi Guo and four Bilibili creators performed music with this unique traditional instrument alongside China's Golden Jazz Big Band and a Chinese folk orchestra to fuse the melodies of traditional Chinese and western instruments for a mix of popular Jazz and Blues music, traditional Beijing Operas, and Chinese folksongs.
Shows related to the ancient classic texts The Classic of Mountains and Seas and the four great classical Chinese novels were also presented by famous Chinese singers and dancers to commemorate the masterpieces. Wing Chun martial art which was promoted and popularized by Bruce Lee, was choreographed for the stage by Shenzhen Opera and Dance Group.
Vivid Cultural Icons and IPs
Bilibili, a leading multicultural community for the young generation, curated this year's lineup with some of the most classic and trending cultural icons, paying tribute to content that has deeply impacted the young generation since their teenager years. Using advanced illumination technologies, the celebration presented an immersive and stunning stage that anchors its young audiences.
The Gala was greatly inspired by the booming popularity of Chinese anime among young fans. The most iconic IP was The Three-Body Problem anime series with singer G.E.M. performing the theme song, Wallfacers, which has welcomed countless Chinese sci-fi lovers into the story's imaginary universe. The adaptation of Liu Cixin's titular Hugo Award-winning sci-fi trilogy is the biggest hit on Bilibili this year, with a record of over 100 million views on its release day.
2022 marks the 100-year anniversary of the birth of Chinese anime, and Bilibili has been dedicated to bringing Chinese anime to a global audience. As of June 2022, the company has released 35 Chinese anime titles in over 200 countries and regions, and launched some titles on top streaming platforms including Netflix and Funimation. "The combination of Chinese aesthetics, values and modern art expression makes Chinese anime an essential carrier of Chinese culture to the world," said Lee.
Henry Lau partnered with Bilibili creator for a video mashup mix-cut show presenting 24 top-ranking or upcoming Chinese anime series on Bilibili, such as Link Click, Incarnation, and The Legend of Luo Xiaohei. Another video mashup mix-cut show showcased memorable anime and characters created by Shanghai Animation Film Studio, one of the most historical animation studios in China which produced a series of classic animations the young generation grew up with, such as Havoc in Heaven and Black Cat Detective.
Other featured acts with well-known cultural icons and IPs include:
- Nostalgic soundtracks by Japanese singers Mai Kuraki, Show Wesugi, and Ayumi Miyazaki woke Generation Z and Millennials' childhood memories with classic anime including Detective Conan, Slam Dunk, and Digimon.
- Luo Tianyi, a popular virtual idol among young Chinese, joined with popular Bilibili Vocaloid producers to celebrate the 10th anniversary of her debut.
- Forty of Disney's most iconic characters, from Mickey Mouse, Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde in Zootopia, Elsa and Anna in Frozen, to the latest "superstar" in China Linabell the fox, presented a Winter Magic show.
- Superb mashup performances of Chinese and Western symphony orchestras for Genshin Impact and Assassin's Creed immersed fans in the beloved games.
- Minecraft - the top gaming IP that received the most fan creations - was recreated in "pixel style" on stage.
- A classic popular rhythm game Audition Dance Battle Online was recreated with re-life dancers.
- A medley of background music from classic PC games, such as Chinese Paladin: Sword and Fairy, DNF and Crazy Arcade also won over the hearts of grown-up gamers.
Innovative Interactions with Users during the Show
In addition to the popular live commenting function, or "bullet chats", Bilibili also introduced a more engaging and innovative experience for its audience during the show, becoming the first gala featuring interactive games online, including five performances that allowed audience to play games along with the rhythms and beats by clicking with their fingers or twisting their phones.
With nearly 333 million monthly active users, Bilibili has become China's young generations' go-to platform for high-quality content and entertainment, and its New Year's Eve Gala is one of the most iconic cultural celebrations for China's young generation. The first Gala in 2019 was an instant hit after its launch, reaching a livestream peak popularity index of 85 million and exceeding 310 million in 2021. With its dedication to creating the richest content ecosystem and most interesting interactions, Bilibili is positioned to increasingly satisfy the diverse interests of its young user group.

By JENNA FRYER
AP Auto Racing Writer
AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Ross Chastain skyrocketed to motorsports infamy for wall-riding his way into NASCAR’s championship race with a video-game style move that has overshadowed the finale and his fellow title contenders.
With that comes a ton of pressure on the eighth-generation Florida watermelon farmer and journeyman NASCAR driver who once took a side gig driving a motorhome to races just to earn extra cash.
This year, his first with second-year team Trackhouse Racing, has been the breakout the 29-year-old has long been chasing. Chastain’s decision to slam his Chevrolet into the Martinsville Speedway wall and ride it into the fourth and final playoff spot just might have made him the fan favorite in Sunday’s winner-take-all finale at Phoenix Raceway.
In his 151st career Cup start, Chastain will race for his first championship.
“There are nerves and there’s anxiety and there is fear of failure. How cool is it that I’m getting to experience this?” he said. “In the moment, it’s not pleasant, the nerves. I wish they would go away.”
The field is stacked.
Christopher Bell has been red-hot with two walk-off wins in a pair of playoff elimination races to advance to his first championship. Bell is the only Toyota driver in the field.
Joey Logano is Ford’s only representative but will try to give Roger Penske both the NASCAR and IndyCar championships in the same season. Will Power won the IndyCar title for Team Penske in September and the organization has never won both championships in the same season.
Logano, the 2018 champion, is aware of what he can deliver for his boss. Penske celebrated his 85th birthday in February when Austin Cindric won the Daytona 500 for the team.
“I know that is on the line. The goal is still the same, whether the IndyCar guys won the championship or not,” Logano said. “We need to do our side of the job. It would be obviously a little cherry on top of the weekend to be able to say we’ve won both.
“Probably makes the championship party a little better. Bigger, for sure.”
And then there’s Chase Elliott, the 2020 champion who began a streak of two consecutive Cup championships for Hendrick Motorsports. Kyle Larson was eliminated in the first round, so Elliott in his Chevrolet is Hendrick’s only shot at winning three straight Cup titles.
NASCAR’s most popular driver won the regular-season crown and led the Cup standings most of the year. But he’s had a mediocre playoffs and only won at Talladega — his career-high fifth win of the season.
“He’s had some situations where the car wasn’t as good as we thought it would be, and he was frustrated,” Rick Hendrick said. “You run good at Phoenix, you’ve won that race, you’ve won the championship. He’s excited. He’s ready. We’ll just put any of the bad luck or inconsistencies we’ve had leading up to this race behind us because it’s all about Sunday.”
Elliott is the favorite to win both the race and the title, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
The driver among the four contenders wins the title. Only Elliott and Logano have raced in the championship finale before. Chastain had never before made the playoffs, and Bell made it to the second round in last year’s playoff debut.
Logano, at 32 years old, is the oldest driver in the championship.
“I think you look at the Cup Series specifically, there’s a youth movement in NASCAR,” NASCAR President Steve Phelps said. “We saw that youth movement a couple years ago kind of start to take hold and take root. But you need to win, right? It’s one thing to have young drivers come into our Cup Series, but could they win? They’ve proven again and again and again this year that they can.”
SPLIT TITLE
An anomaly in the standings this year could produce the first split driver and owner championships of NASCAR’s modern era.
It’s happened twice before in the Cup Series: Joe Weatherly won the driver title in 1963, while Wood Brothers Racing won the team title. In 1954, Lee Petty won the driver title and Herb Thomas won the owner title.
At Phoenix in the season finale, Kyle Larson could split the championships.
Why is it important?
NASCAR’s owner points determine the financial payouts from the points fund.
So should Larson, who was eliminated from the playoffs in the second round, defend last year’s Phoenix victory, then the No. 5 for Chevrolet would win the owner title for Rick Hendrick. The driver championship would go to the highest-finishing driver of the four contenders, and if that is Elliott, then Hendrick would win both titles.
“An ideal situation is if we could go out and run one-two and get them both,” Hendrick said. “We’re not going to approach the race any different than we have any week. Both cars are going to try to win. We’ll just go out and do the best we can and see where it all ends up. We’re going to try to race to win with both cars. That’s the plan.”
STATE OF THE SPORT
Two of NASCAR’s top executives gave an update on the state of the industry, addressing everything from the revenue model teams have called broken to officiating and the new Next Gen car.
NASCAR President Steve Phelps did not rule out expanding the stock car series “north and south of the border” as news of next year’s street race in Chicago has driven interest from multiple cities.
The charter system in place with teams expires at the end of the 2024 season and ownership last month complained that NASCAR’s business model no longer financially works for them. Phelps said the system has been successful and works for NASCAR, but could not guarantee it will survive negotiations with teams.
“The charter system, although not perfect, has worked really well,” Phelps said. “We have people out there that want to get charters who are both in the sport and are outside of the sport that can’t get them right now because the teams are holding them. Do I think we’ll extend the charters? I do. Do I think it’s a good thing for the sport? I do.”
NASCAR’s television package with Fox and NBC Sports also expires in 2024 and that deal likely needs to be completed before team owners can negotiate a new charter agreement.
“I’m not sure where the future’s going to be with respect to our media partners,” Phelps said. “I do know that it will go through NBC and Fox. Whether there are additional folks that want to come bid and we get to that particular point, I have no idea. I do know there is a significant amount of interest in NASCAR from those that are not our incumbents. That’s a good thing for our industry.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Two people have been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of rapper PnB Rock and Los Angeles police were searching Wednesday for a third suspect they warned should be considered armed and dangerous.
The Philadelphia artist, whose real name is Rakim Allen, was gunned down Sept. 13 at a South LA restaurant while eating with his girlfriend. A robber approached their table and demanded items from the rapper, according to investigators.
A minor under the age of 18 and a woman were taken into custody Tuesday, according the Los Angeles Police Department. The minor could face a murder charge and 38-year-old Shauntel Trone was arrested on suspicion of being an accessory to murder, a police statement said.
A third suspect, 40-year-old Freddie Lee Trone, remained at large, said LAPD Capt. Kelly Muniz.
“He should be considered armed and dangerous,” police said in the statement. “If you see him, you are urged to call 911 for immediate assistance.”
The statement included a photo of Trone but no additional details about him.
Detectives believe a social media post may have tipped Rock’s killer to his location, police said in the days after the shooting. Rock’s girlfriend had posted the location and tagged the rapper in an Instagram post that has since been deleted.
The robber took some items from the victim and fled in a car that was waiting in the parking lot, police said. No one else was injured in the shooting and Rock was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Rock was best known for his 2016 hit “Selfish” and for making guest appearances on other artists’ songs such as YFN Lucci’s “Everyday We Lit” and Ed Sheeran’s “Cross Me” with Chance the Rapper. His latest song, “Luv Me Again,” was released Sept. 2. | 2022-09-29T04:30:18+00:00 | cbs42.com | https://www.cbs42.com/entertainment/ap-entertainment/ap-los-angeles-police-id-suspect-in-shooting-of-rapper-pnb-rock/ |
BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union on Wednesday unveiled a plan to provide Ukraine with around 18 billion euros (dollars) in financial aid next year in regular payments to help the war-ravaged country keep its energy and health care facilities running as well as to fund salaries and pension schemes.
The EU’s executive branch, the European Commission, said the aid would involve loans with extremely favorable terms worth around 1.5 billion euros every month, possibly starting in January. Ukraine would not have to reimburse the funds for at least a decade and EU member countries would cover the interest costs.
The International Monetary Fund estimates that Ukraine will need 3-4 billion dollars each month in 2023. The 27-nation EU’s contribution will be matched by the United States, while other donors and financial institutions are expected to plug the gap.
“Ukraine needs our help,” said Commission Executive Vice-President Valdis Dombrovskis as he unveiled the plan. He said the government in Kyiv needs “stable and predictable” funding. At the same time, the EU expects it to better tackle fraud and corruption and strengthen the rule of law.
The commission intends to borrow the money on capital markets using the combined weight of the 27 countries to secure more favorable terms. Some of the effort would involve restructuring part of the EU’s long-term budget, and this requires the unanimous approval of member countries.
Dombrovskis urged EU countries and the European Parliament to approve the plan before the end of the year, so that the first loans can be provided in January. “It needs to be decided quickly, 2023 is approaching fast and Ukraine’s financing needs are urgent,” he said.
The EU has been accused of being too slow to deliver funds to Ukraine, even though it has earmarked more than 19 billion euros for the country since Russian forces invaded in February.
Hungary’s foreign minister, Peter Szijjarto, said this week that his government would continue to provide financial support on a bilateral basis but that it opposes allowing the EU to take out credit to help Ukraine. Dombrovskis said he would work with Hungary to try to overcome its objections.
The EU intends to provide an additional 2.5 billion euros to Ukraine this month, and 500 million more in December. | 2022-11-10T01:28:35+00:00 | ourquadcities.com | https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/international/ap-eu-eyes-cheap-loan-plan-for-stable-ukraine-funding-in-2023/ |
PHOENIX (AP) — Police in Phoenix are looking for a driver who fled the scene after a man in a wheelchair was struck and killed by a vehicle on a residential street northeast of downtown.
Police say they responded to the hit-and-run accident that claimed the life of a pedestrian near 48th Street and McDowell Road at about 6:30 p.m. Saturday.
The victim was identified as 40-year-old Jeremy Ortiz. Police say the driver left the area and has not been identified. An investigation was continuing on Sunday. | 2022-11-27T18:21:04+00:00 | lmtonline.com | https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/Man-in-wheelchair-struck-killed-in-Phoenix-17613799.php |
MT. WASHINGTON, N.H. (WPRI) – New Hampshire’s Mount Washington, the highest peak in the Northeast, recorded the coldest wind chill in the history of the United States on Saturday morning when an arctic air mass hit New England.
The Mount Washington Observatory recorded a new, record-low air temperature of -46.9 degrees Fahrenheit as of Saturday morning at 4:10 a.m, according to overnight summit conditions.
The previous record daily low of -32 degrees Fahrenheit was set in 1963.
The previous wind chill record was shattered overnight, when wind chills dropped to -108.4 degrees at different points on Friday night and Saturday morning. The previous record was -102.7 degrees Fahrenheit.
“Winds will also remain elevated Saturday morning, with wind speeds ranging from 100-115 mph with gusts up to 135 mph,” the observatory wrote in a summit forecast on Saturday. “Strong winds and harsh cold temperatures will continue to produce dangerously low wind chill values, with wind chill values remaining at 100 below to 110 below Saturday morning.
The record-cold temps come amid what experts call a “generational Arctic outbreak” throughout the Northeast, a branch of the National Weather Service (NWS) told CNN.
On Saturday morning, dangerously cold temperatures remained, along with wind chills that dropped to -45 to -50 degrees Fahrenheit in many areas. On Sunday, however, the frigid temperatures in the region are expected to move out, and possibly rise to the 40s.

The Orlando Museum of Art's Jean-Michel Basquiat exhibit has been a focus of nationwide fascination since it was announced. The suddenly uncovered paintings were a godsend to longtime fans of the painter, a coup for the Orlando museum and a massive win for the museum's director.
All of that soured quickly after the exhibit was first revealed. A report in the
New York Times called the painting's authenticity into question, laying out the unlikely story of their discovery and citing an expert who questioned the cardboard canvases that the paintings were done on.
Showing fake art isn't necessarily a crime, just a little embarrassing for the museum curators and authenticators. Selling fake art is fraud, though, and that appears to have piqued the FBI's interest in OMA's "Heroes and Monsters" exhibit.
The Times reported on an FBI subpoena seeking “any and all” messages between museum employees and the owners of the paintings “purported to be by artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.” They also asked for every communication between the museum and its art world experts as messages from the museum's board of trustees.
OMA leadership have maintained that the paintings are authentic and they did their due diligence in making sure they were legitimate.
"We diligently undertook a very rigorous process of research and evaluation before opening this exhibit,"
the museum said following the initial report on the exhibit. "The art has been fully authenticated by credible sources, including the person who led the Basquiat estate authentication committee; signed off by leading Basquiat historians, forensic professionals and handwriting experts. This is a regarded industry standard of evaluation and was followed intricately in our planning for this exhibit." | 2022-06-02T08:13:03+00:00 | orlandoweekly.com | https://www.orlandoweekly.com/news/fbi-investigating-possibly-fake-basquiat-paintings-at-orlando-museum-of-art-31720504 |

Lee Rose, basketball coach who led Charlotte and Purdue to the Final Four, has died
Rose spent three years as Charlotte’s head basketball coach from 1975-78
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Charlotte Observer) - Lee Rose, the head coach who led the Charlotte men’s basketball team to its lone Final Four appearance in 1977, has died, according to a spokesman for the 49ers’ athletic program.
Rose was 85. Rose spent three years as Charlotte’s head basketball coach from 1975-78, and in that time he directed the team to both the final of the 1976 NIT and then to the 1977 NCAA Final Four.
With a future standout NBA player in Cedric “Cornbread” Maxwell, the 49ers upset No. 5 Syracuse and then No. 1 Michigan to reach the Final Four, only to fall to Marquette in the national semifinals on a controversial last-second basket.
Marquette went on to defeat UNC for the 1977 national title. In Rose’s three years as the 49ers’ head coach, Charlotte boasted a 72-18 record. Known as “The Silver Fox,” Rose was named the 1977 Sporting News National Coach of the Year for his work with the 49ers.
His three Charlotte teams won 80 percent of their games and were even better than that at home, where they posted an astonishing 40-2 record during Rose’s reign.
Rose, who died Tuesday, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2015. His memory and thinking skills eroded in his final years due to the brain disorder. In a fall sometime after his diagnosis, he broke his femur and suffered spinal cord damage, which left Rose in a wheelchair in his final years.
His primary caretaker was his wife of more than 60 years, Eleanor. Still, in March 2021 he was able to conduct a brief interview with The Observer in which he reminisced about the 1977 Charlotte Final Four team.
“They were intelligent and they were very competitive,” Rose said. “And it was a pleasure to be with them, and not having any issues of anything that would have been negative. And they were really good. So I was a lucky man.” Charlotte 49ers basketball coach Lee Rose at the 1977 NCAA Tournament.
The 49ers lost in the national semifinals by two points to Marquette. Rose stayed one more year in Charlotte after the Final Four run before leaving for the head job at Purdue. He also directed the Boilermakers to the Final Four in 1980 behind future No. 1 overall NBA draft pick Joe Barry Carroll, a 7-foot center. Purdue lost to UCLA in the Final Four, but in getting there Rose became one of a handful of coaches to earn a spot in the Final Four with two different teams.
In the Charlotte region, Rose’s name was long associated with college basketball’s pre-eminent event, and his death came the day after the 2022 Final Four concluded with Kansas edging North Carolina in the final.
Not long after leading Purdue to the Final Four, Rose left the Boilermakers for South Florida, where he coached for six seasons before then finishing his coaching career out with several NBA teams as an assistant coach, including the Charlotte Hornets and Bobcats.
A Kentucky native, Rose played began his coaching career at his alma mater — Transylvania University in Lexington, Ky., where he was a 1,000-point scorer. Charlotte hired him away from Transylvania in 1975.
Rose retired in 2008 to his home in south Charlotte. In 2020, both Rose and Maxwell were named to the inaugural Charlotte 49ers athletics hall of fame class as the school honored the Final Four run of 1977. His funeral arrangements are incomplete at this time.

If art is meant to challenge conventionality, then it's no surprise when controversy follows. Though outwardly unassuming — an innocuous depiction of a Black girl reading books — the wall mural painted on the side of the United Teachers of Dade (UTD) union's headquarters in Miami Springs was, until recently, the flashpoint of small-town politics. In addition to brazen vandalism that saw the mural's main figure splashed with black paint, the mural came under fire from members of the city council because it didn't conform to the sleepy municipality's requirements for a limited color palette in the 36th Street district. Following heated debates and a contentious council vote, the teachers union prevailed. UTD was allowed to keep its public art on display for pedestrians to enjoy and reflect on the fitting Maya Angelou quotation it bears as an epitaph: "But still, like the air, I'll rise!" | 2022-06-22T16:12:05+00:00 | miaminewtimes.com | https://www.miaminewtimes.com/best-of/2022/arts-and-entertainment/best-public-art-to-survive-a-controversy-14707718 |
Gov. Kathy Hochul should sign the Fair Access to Victim Compensation Act whose purpose is to remove barriers that crime victims face in accessing compensation funding in New York State.
Victim compensation funds are both federally and state-funded money, used to help victims and survivors pay for costs associated with the harm they suffered: medical bills, essential personal property loss, burial costs of loved ones and crime scene cleanup if the offense occurred in the home.
These funds are important, advocates say, because they not only help survivors heal but they also are an inflection point in cycles of violence, and in stopping cycles of violence. Hurt people hurt people, an age-old saying, and folks are a lot less likely to commit harm and retaliation if they have money to go to therapy. They are less likely to commit crimes of survival if they are not debating between paying their medical bills and putting food on the table.
People are also reading…
Still, there are barriers to accessing this money in New York. One is that survivors must report their harm to law enforcement in order to receive funding. Some may not feel comfortable doing so, because they worry about their safety or being discriminated against. Advocates have seen examples among domestic violence survivors, immigrant victims and survivors from within Black and brown communities.
The bill introduces two alternative forms of evidence that victims and survivors can use to demonstrate to New York State’s Office of Victim Services (OVS) that they have been harmed by a crime:
A statement from a certified victim service provider such as Neighborhood Legal Services or BestSelf Behavioral Health.
An order of protection from the court.
This bill also extends to three years the amount of time allowed for a victim to make a claim with OVS. Under existing law, victims have only one year to file. It also changes the amount of time that a victim is required to report a crime to proper authorities from one week to a “reasonable amount of time.” As advocates say, some victims and survivors might still be in the hospital after just one week.
It is significant that the bill passed in both houses with bipartisan support. Among the local backers was Sen. Patrick M. Gallivan, R-Elma, who voted the bill through the Senate Corrections Committee, and voted for the bill on the floor. Gallivan is a former Erie County sheriff.
In this hot summer when gun violence is likely to soar, advocates and officials concerned about public safety hope that the governor will prioritize signing this bill to center victims and survivors.
In public discussions around public safety and healing, it is clear this bill belongs at the top of the governor’s to-do list.

CHICAGO (AP) — Emmett Till left his mother’s house on Chicago’s South Side in 1955 to visit relatives in Mississippi, where the Black teenager was abducted and brutally slain for reportedly whistling at a white woman.
A cultural preservation organization announced Tuesday that the house will receive a share of $3 million in grants being distributed to 33 sites and organizations nationwide that are important pieces of African American history.
Some of the grant money from the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund will go to rehabilitate buildings, such as a bank in Mississippi founded by a man described by Booker T. Washington as the “most influential business man in the United States,” the first Black masonic lodge in North Carolina, and a school in rural Oklahoma for the children of Black farm workers and laborers.
The money will also help restore the Virginia home where a tennis coach helped turn Black athletes such as Arthur Ashe and Althea Gibson into champions, rehabilitate the Blue Bird Inn in Detroit that is considered the birthplace of bebop jazz, and protect and preserve African American cemeteries in Pennsylvania and a tiny island off the coast of South Carolina.
Brent Leggs, executive director of the organization that is in its fifth year of awarding the grants, said the effort is intended to fill “some gaps in the nation’s understanding of the civil rights movement.”
Till’s brutal slaying helped galvanize the civil rights movement. The Chicago home where Mamie Till Mobley and her son lived will receive funding for a project director to oversee restoration efforts, including renovating the second floor to what it looked like when the Tills lived there.
“This house is a sacred treasure from our perspective and our goal is to restore it and reinvent it as an international heritage pilgrimage destination,” said Naomi Davis, executive director of Blacks in Green, a local nonprofit group that bought the house in 2020. She said the plan is to time the 2025 opening with that of the Obama Presidential Library a few miles away.
Leggs said it is is particularly important to do something that shines a light on Mamie Till Mobley. After her 14-year-old son’s lynching, Till Mobley insisted that his body be displayed in an open casket as it looked when it was pulled from a river, to show the world what racism looked like.
It was a display that influenced thousands of mourners who filed by the casket and the millions more who saw the photographs in Jet Magazine — one of whom was Rosa Parks whose refusal to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama, bus to a white man about three months later remains one of the pivotal acts of defiance in American history.
“It was a catalytic moment in the civil rights movement and through this we lift and honor Black women in civil rights,” Leggs said.
And the news follows a recent revelation about the discovery of an unserved arrest warrant of the woman whose accusation put in motion the chain of events that led to the teen’s lynching.
The house and the story of the casket highlight the risks that the remnants of such history can vanish if not protected. As recently as 2019 when it was sold to a developer, the red brick Victorian house built more than a century earlier was falling into disrepair before it was granted landmark status by the city of Chicago. And the glass-topped casket that held Till’s remains was only donated to the Smithsonian Institution because it was discovered in 2009 rusting in a shed at a suburban Chicago cemetery where it was discarded after the teen’s body was exhumed years earlier.
That discovery of the casket, which only happened because of a scandal at the cemetery, underscores how easily significant pieces of history can simply vanish, said Annie Wright, whose late husband, Simeon, was sleeping with his cousin, Emmett, the night he was abducted.
“We got to remember what happened and if we don’t tell it, if people don’t see (the house) they’ll forget and we don’t want to forget tragedy in these United States,” said Wright, 76. | 2022-07-19T16:38:07+00:00 | wate.com | https://www.wate.com/news/national-world/emmett-tills-house-black-sites-to-get-preservation-funds/ |
A number of declared and prospective Republican presidential candidates are voicing opposition to a debt ceiling deal that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) struck with President Biden this weekend ahead of a looming default deadline.
Biden and McCarthy overcame a longstanding stalemate over the deal this Saturday as the country races to avoid the June 5 cutoff, but the deal has already been criticized by a growing number of House Republicans.
The burgeoning 2024 GOP White House field added to those sentiments this week, with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis saying on Monday that “our country will still be careening towards bankruptcy” if the deal passed. Other contenders like former Vice President Pence and biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy have also railed against the deal.
Notably, however, former President Trump has not yet weighed in.
Here’s a look at what these 2024 GOP contenders have said about the debt ceiling deal:
Ron DeSantis
During an interview on “Fox & Friends,” the Florida governor, who announced his 2024 candidacy last week, slammed the deal.
“Prior to this deal … our country was careening towards bankruptcy. And after this deal, our country will still be careening towards bankruptcy,” DeSantis said.
“To say you can do 4 trillion [dollars] of increases in the next year-and-a-half, I mean, that’s a massive amount of spending. I think that we’ve gotten ourselves on a trajectory here — really since March of 2020, with some of the COVID spending, and totally reset the budget, and they’re sticking with that. And I think that that’s just going to be totally inadequate to get us in a better spot,” he added.
DeSantis’s remarks make him the highest-profile 2024 Republican contender to wade in on the deal. But one House Republican on Monday suggested the Florida governor was being hypocritical as someone who’s voted to raise the debt ceiling before.
“It’s said that you campaign in poetry, and you govern in prose. Man alive, are those comments proof of that,” Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) said in an interview on NewsNation.
“Ron DeSantis, he has voted for debt ceiling increases in the past when he’s in the House. I know those guys. They should have the flexibility to change their minds, but they should be honest with the voters that when they’ve been here in the past, they’ve raised the debt ceiling,” he added.
Nikki Haley
Haley also critiqued the deal, saying in a statement released on Tuesday: “The best way to fix Washington’s spending addiction is to elect people who have not been part of the problem.”
“Adding at least $4 trillion to America’s $31 trillion national debt over two years without substantially cutting spending is no way to run our country’s fiscal affairs. Business as usual won’t get the job done,” she added.
A press release from Haley’s campaign also used the current debt ceiling crisis to take a jab at DeSantis, pointing to the fact that the Florida governor had voted in favor of raising the debt ceiling when he served in Congress in 2018 while Trump later signed the legislation into law.
“As Congress considers once again raising the national debt limit without any major restraints on future spending, it’s worth remembering that just five years ago Congressman Ron DeSantis voted for a debt increase deal and President Donald Trump signed it into law,” the campaign press release said.
It’s the latest swipe at DeSantis from the Haley campaign; prior to his formal launch last week, Haley’s campaign rolled out an ad suggesting DeSantis and Trump were echoes of one another.
Mike Pence
Pence alleged in a statement on Tuesday that the deal between McCarthy and Biden “uses Washington smoke and mirror games to make small reforms while weakening our military at a time of increasing threats from foreign adversaries.”
“It’s time to be honest with the American people and get everybody to the table to restore fiscal integrity to our nation,” he continued. “By ignoring the drivers of our national debt and avoiding honest conversations with the American people, President Biden and the Washington establishment continue to pile the burden of debt onto the backs of our grandchildren, and the American people deserve better.”
Vivek Ramaswamy
The biotech entrepreneur also rallied against the deal in a statement on Tuesday, taking issue with the proposed reduction from the IRS budget.
“I would absolutely vote against the debt ceiling deal. Reducing the IRS budget from $80 billion to $78 billion doesn’t solve the essential problem of a corrupt administrative state – at the IRS or elsewhere,” Ramaswamy said in a statement. “We need to think on the timescales of history, not 2-year election cycles. We should stand for principles, not incrementalism or window-dressing.”
While the deal struck between Biden and McCarthy will eliminate $1.38 billion in IRS funding, a separate $20 billion that was allocated to the IRS through the Inflation Reduction Act will also be reallocated from the agency. | 2023-05-30T21:40:55+00:00 | wearegreenbay.com | https://www.wearegreenbay.com/hill-politics/heres-what-2024-republicans-have-said-about-the-debt-ceiling-deal/ |
Lamborghini has closed the order books for the Huracán, nine years after the V-10-powered supercar made its debut.
While announcing its financial results for the first quarter of 2023 this week, Lamborghini said the Huracán was sold out to its scheduled end of production.
The final version of the car was revealed late last year as the off-road-ready Huracán Sterrato. However, Lamborghini may still roll out a few special editions, similar to what happened with the Aventador after its final version was announced.
A Huracán successor with a plug-in hybrid powertrain is planned. It will be launched at the end of 2024, according to recent comments made by Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann, and rumor has it the car will rely on a turbocharged V-8 for its internal-combustion component.
Lamborghini has confirmed the car will feature the same 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission as the Aventador-replacing Revuelto supercar. The rear-mounted transmission is designed to integrate an electric motor to help the engine power the rear wheels, and one or two additional motors will likely power the front wheels of the Huracán successor, just like in the Revuelto.
The Huracán is the bestselling model in Lamborghini’s history, with more than 20,000 units sold as of mid-2022. The previous record of 14,022 units was held by the Gallardo, which the Huracán smashed after just five years on the market.
The Huracán will also have the honor of being the last production Lamborghini powered purely by an internal-combustion engine. The Revuelto already features a plug-in hybrid powertrain, and the Urus is slated to go the plug-in hybrid route in the first half of 2024.
Lamborghini has started off 2023 with record results, including delivering 2,623 cars, up 84 cars compared to the same period a year ago. The automaker also said its order books cover almost the entirety of 2024’s production.

--Siguler Guff Has a Time-Tested Strategy for Successfully Investing in Small Businesses, the Engine of the U.S. Economy--
NEW YORK, Aug. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Siguler Guff, a multi-strategy private markets investment firm with approximately $16 billion of assets under management, announced today that it has completed fundraising for Small Buyout Opportunities Fund V LP ("Fund V" or the "Fund"). Fund V was oversubscribed after five months of fundraising, exceeding its $1.65 billion target and closing above its hard cap on $1.97 billion. The Fund's re-up rate was 95%, representing a significant vote of confidence from existing investors, and is the largest small business buyout fund in Siguler Guff's history.
Through direct investments and by partnering with specialist private equity sponsors, Fund V, as has been the case in its previous four funds, will focus on investing in a diverse set of small and lower middle market companies, typically with less than $200 million in annual revenues, less than $20 million of annual EBITDA, and consistently high profit margins.
Fund V will continue to target established, often founder-led companies with niche market-leading positions where value can be created through building and growing the business. In each of its small business buyout funds, Siguler Guff seeks strong alignment of interests with the seller and management team through significant seller rollover and value-added improvements that drive superior financial performance.
Since launching its small business investment strategy in 2005, Siguler Guff has committed over $6 billion to over 800 companies across the United States, with nearly 500 realizations. Siguler Guff is currently one of the largest and most active investors in the small and lower middle market, with commitments to over 100 private equity funds and over 200 equity co-investments since its formation.
Kevin Kester, Managing Director and Co-Portfolio Manager of the Fund, and head of Siguler Guff's small business investment strategy, said, "We are pleased to have closed our fifth small business buyout fund, our largest ever, and gratified to have received such strong support from our limited partners for this exciting investment strategy that has created tremendous value for all stakeholders.
"With over 400,000 companies, representing approximately 96% of all businesses in America, small businesses are the engine that drives the U.S. economy," added Mr. Kester, who joined Siguler Guff in 2004 and founded the Small Buyout Opportunities Funds.
Jonathan Wilson, Managing Director and Co-Portfolio Manager of the Fund commented, "Over the past 17 years, we have developed a time-tested strategy for successfully investing in this important market sector through commitments to private equity funds and equity co-investments alongside small buyout fund managers and deal sponsors. We look forward to collaborating with our partners to identify, invest and build extraordinary businesses."
Drew Guff, Managing Director and Founding Partner of Siguler Guff, added, "We are proud that small business investing has long been one of Siguler Guff's core strategies. Over the years, we have cultivated strong relationships within the small business community and we maintain an unparalleled network that is the foundation of our success. We want to express our deep appreciation to our limited partners for their continued trust in this important investment strategy that has consistently generated outsized returns."

Putin vows to press attack on Ukraine, courts India's Modi
Samarkand, Uzbekistan — Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed Friday to press his attack on Ukraine despite its latest counteroffensive and warned that Moscow could ramp up its strikes if Ukrainian forces target power plants and other infrastructure in Russia.
Speaking to reporters Friday after attending a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in Uzbekistan, Putin said the “liberation” of Ukraine's entire eastern Donbas region remained Russia’s main military goal and that he sees no need to revise it.
“We aren’t in a rush,” the Russian leader said, adding that Russia has only deployed volunteer soldiers to fight in Ukraine.
Russia was forced to pull back its forces from large swaths of northeastern Ukraine last week after a swift Ukrainian counteroffensive. Ukraine's move to reclaim control of several Russian-occupied cities and villages marked the largest military setback for Moscow since its forces had to retreat from areas near the capital early in the war.
Asked about the Ukrainian counteroffensive, Putin replied: “Let’s how it develops and how it ends.”
He alleged that Ukraine has attempted to launch attacks “near our nuclear facilities, nuclear power plants” in Russia and vowed to do “everything to prevent any negative turn of events.”
“We will retaliate if they fail to understand that such methods are unacceptable, they don't differ from terrorism,” Putin said.
Putin also sought Friday to assuage India’s concern about the conflict in Ukraine, telling Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that Moscow wants to see a quick end to the fighting and alleging Ukrainian officials won’t negotiate.
“I know your stand on the conflict in Ukraine and the concerns that you have repeatedly voiced,” the Russian leader told Modi. “We will do all we can to end that as quickly as possible. Regrettably, the other side, the leadership of Ukraine, has rejected the negotiations process and stated that it wants to achieve its goals by military means, on the battlefield.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said it is Russia that allegedly doesn’t want to negotiate in earnest. He also has insisted on the withdrawal of Russian troops from occupied areas of Ukraine as a precondition for talks.
Putin's remarks during the talks with Modi echoed similar comments he made during a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping the previous day.
China and India have refused to join Western sanctions against Russia over its war in Ukraine while increasing their purchases of Russian oil and gas, helping Moscow offset the financial restrictions imposed by the U.S. and its allies.
Putin also met Friday with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to discuss bolstering economic cooperation and regional issues, including a July deal brokered by Turkey and the U.N. that allowed Ukrainian grain exports to resume from the country’s Black Sea ports.
Speaking at the Uzbekistan summit on Friday, Xi warned his Central Asian neighbors not to allow outsiders to destabilize them. The warning reflects Beijing’s anxiety that Western support for pro-democracy and human rights activists is a plot to undermine Xi’s ruling Communist Party and other authoritarian governments.
“We should prevent external forces from instigating a color revolution,” Xi said in a speech to leaders of Shanghai Cooperation Organization member nations, referring to protests that toppled unpopular regimes in the former Soviet Union and the Middle East.
Xi offered to train 2,000 police officers, to set up a regional counterterrorism training center and to “strengthen law enforcement capacity building.” He gave no details.
His comments echoed longtime Russian grievances about the color-coded uprisings in several ex-Soviet nations that the Kremlin viewed as instigated by the U.S. and its allies.
Xi is promoting a “Global Security Initiative” announced in April following the formation of the Quad by the U.S., Japan, Australia and India in response to Beijing’s more assertive foreign policy. Xi has given few details, but U.S. officials complain it echoes Russian arguments in support of Moscow’s actions in Ukraine.
China’s relations with Washington, Europe, Japan and India have been strained by disputes about technology, security, human rights and territory.
Central Asia is part of China’s multibillion-dollar Belt and Road Initiative to expand trade by building ports, railways and other infrastructure across an arc of dozens of countries from the South Pacific through Asia to the Middle East, Europe and Africa.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization was formed by Russia and China as a counterweight to U.S. influence. The group also includes India, Pakistan and four ex-Soviet Central Asian nations of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Iran is on track to receive full membership.
On Thursday, Putin held a one-on-one meeting with Xi and thanked the Chinese leader for his government’s “balanced position” on the Ukraine war, while adding that he was ready to discuss unspecified China’s “concerns” about Ukraine.
Xi, in a statement released by his government, expressed support for Russia’s “core interests” but also interest in working together to “inject stability” into world affairs.
Li Xin, director of the Institute of European and Asian Studies of Shanghai University of Political Science and Law, noted that Beijing wants a negotiated end to the Ukraine war, adding that “China will not judge whether the special military operation of Russia is just or not.” | 2022-09-16T18:29:27+00:00 | detroitnews.com | https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/world/2022/09/16/uzbekistan-summit-russia-putin-china-xi/10395738002/ |
LOS ANGELES (AP) — I was the man in the box at the Oscars for The Associated Press.
I would stand in an opera-style balcony near the stage at the Dolby Theatre that provides a great view of the show but an even better view of the audience. I’d peer down with binoculars to provide what journalists call “color,” sprinkled into our stories as we seek to give readers a behind-the-scenes glimpse.
Hours before the telecast, an academy official with a black-belt-level credential would take me on a labyrinthine walk down hallways, through black curtains and over velvet ropes, past the Foot Locker and Sephora that make parts of the complex indistinguishable from a suburban mall, and into the box that I shared with the show’s technical crew members.
This year, the ceremony’s logistical layout will force me to work outside the box: in the media room, with the rest of the Oscars press corps. The food will be better than the nothing I normally get, but I’ll miss the box — where else could I have seen the following moments?
A DISASTROUS DEBUT
The fiasco came in my first year.
It was 2017, my first time inside the Academy Awards. I was gazing down on the audience. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway had just announced “La La Land” as best picture.
The alleged winners’ celebration soon turned to murmurs of confusion. I’m not sure anyone had ever seen as many stunned famous faces as I was suddenly looking down on after the true victory of “ Moonlight ” was revealed. The mouths of Meryl Streep, Matt Damon and Michelle Williams were all varying degrees of agape. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had on a crooked expression that, in his wrestling days, he called “the people’s eyebrow.”
“I will never see anything this crazy again if I do this for 20 years,” I thought to myself. Turned out it only took five.
BIG LITTLE DETAILS
Big moments are not generally my job. I deal in details.
From the box, I got to see who the first famous folks seated are: generally, older actors with either no need or no desire to be part of the red carpet scrum. One year it was Jane Fonda, amid a sea of empty seats. I saw an 88-year-old Christopher Plummer, the oldest-ever nominee at that point in 2018, take his spot over an hour before the last-minute scramble that accompanies the telecast’s start.
I got to see how truly long the walk from the theater’s back is for the non-famous. One year, I could hear the shouts of glee from the proud mother of a victorious sound editor, though I could barely see her even through binoculars.
Trips to the bathroom, which require the accompaniment of a show staffer and a climb past a guy who runs a big crane camera, are their own adventure, with hopes — sometimes realized — that I might end up standing silently next to the likes of Denzel Washington.
In 2017, I saw Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel passing a flask to the people in their row, clearly having the best time in the room. When Timberlake gave his show-opening performance of “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” Javier Bardem was the only one wholeheartedly dancing the entire time.
A SPIKE STORM
The crowd at the Oscars does an excellent job of playing the role of “audience.” They hit every unspoken applause cue. They rise in surprising synchrony for standing ovations. They know to stay quiet. They get back to their seats before the cameras roll.
The best audience member to watch, from my perspective, is Spike Lee. For one, he always dresses distinctively, making him easy to spot in a sea of black tuxedos that — from my perch — can make it hard to immediately tell a Brad from a Leo. And he is just as animated as when he sits courtside at New York Knicks games.
In 2019, Lee — clad in a purple suit — won his first competitive Oscar, for writing “Black KkKlansman.” His movie was also up for best picture, against the late-surging “Green Book,” a film that to Lee and many others had an archaic, simplistic take on race relations.
When “Green Book” was announced as the winner, Lee gave the kind of “the hell with this” gesture with his arms he often gives NBA referees, stormed out of his seat and headed for the back doors. With all eyes on the stage, and few others with my view, it went unnoticed by almost all others. It was the closest thing to a scoop the box has given me, and my tweet describing it was my most popular ever, by a mile.
THE SLAP AND THE SHOUTS
Five years in came the slap. Full disclosure: I did not see, with my naked eyes, Will Smith strike Chris Rock.
Tasked with pounding out a quick story, I was sitting down typing when I saw, on one of the crew monitors, Smith stride up on stage and take his swing.
In retrospect, this was a huge moment — but when it happened, few could tell it wasn’t a planned bit. The audience laughter was nervous, but laughter there was. Still, I leapt up and paid attention. The titters remained even after Smith shouted for Rock to keep Jada Pinkett Smith’s name out of his mouth.
It was only the second time Smith said it, louder and emphasizing each word — “MY. WIFE’S. NAME.” — that it became clear this was no joke. A stunned silence fell. It reminded me of being in a classroom when the students realize that the fun teacher really is mad this time.
The Academy recently apologized for not taking swifter action with Smith. They weren’t alone in not knowing how to respond. We journalists had to decide how to treat it. Was this a side story, or THE story? There was no template.
Two other AP reporters were in regular audience seats and I was glad. The vibes were too heavy for one person to weigh. A surreal pall hung over the rest of the night, with most assuming that Smith was likely to soon win best actor.
I kept my binoculars on the front row, where Smith sat. Bradley Cooper and Tyler Perry came up to Smith during breaks, as if counseling him. Both hugged him. So did Denzel Washington, who kept him in a long embrace, whispering to him throughout.
During his tear-streaked acceptance speech minutes later, Smith said Washington had told him: “At your highest moment, be careful, that’s when the devil comes for you.”
I’m hoping I can return to my own high point in the theater next year. I’ll keep an eye out for the devil.

SANTA FE, N.M. (KRQE) – The Southwest is home to a wide array of brave veterans. From the well-known Navajo Code Talkers to members of every service branch, veterans are an integral part of New Mexico’s history. Soon, veterans could receive special notice at the Bernalillo Museum.
Thursday, legislators in the House Rural Development, Land Grants, and Cultural Affairs committee considered Senate Bill 307. The bill aims to give the Bernalillo Museum $100,000 for the “Veteran Heroes of the American Southwest – Forgotten Stories from Forgotten Places” project to document veterans’ stories.
“I love this idea, and you have my full support,” Rep. Tanya Mirabal Moya (R-Tome) said during Thursday’s committee. And she noted her father was a Korean War veteran.
Other legislators spoke in favor of the project. Then, the committee voted unanimously to move the bill forward. But for the project to come to fruition, it still has to pass through several more rounds of voting. | 2023-02-09T22:13:21+00:00 | krqe.com | https://www.krqe.com/news/politics-government/legislature/bill-to-fund-veterans-documentary-project-moves-forward/ |
(The Hill) – A new study published on Wednesday found that the expanded use of telehealth services during the coronavirus pandemic was associated with a reduced risk of opioid overdoses.
Researchers from multiple federal agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) looked at data from more than 170,000 Medicare beneficiaries.
They analyzed receipts for telehealth services, medications for opioid use disorder (OUD) as well as medically treated overdoses.
The study split the observed beneficiaries into two groups — one that initiated OUD care before the pandemic and another that initiated care after the outbreak began.
When the pandemic began, concerns were raised among the medical community that stressors like the outbreak and the related stay-at-home orders would raise the risk of overdoses individuals with OUD.
The researchers found that beneficiaries in the COVID-19 pandemic group were likely to receive OUD-related telehealth care and were also more likely to receive corresponding medications.
Those who received OUD-related telehealth care were more likely to retain medical treatments for their conditions and had a lower risk of experiencing a medically treated overdose.
“The findings showed that telehealth improved the receipt and retention of MOUD, suggesting that this method of healthcare delivery may address common barriers to OUD-related treatment such as transportation and perceived stigma associated with OUD,” said Carla Shoff, a social science research analyst at CMS.
Despite these benefits, the study noted there were some irregularities in who was receiving telehealth care. Beneficiaries who were Black or lived in the South were less likely to receive telehealth services.
These findings come shortly after a study published in the International Journal of Drug Policy found that the large majority of people with OUD — 86.6 percent — do not receive the treatments they need. | 2022-09-01T17:01:49+00:00 | krqe.com | https://www.krqe.com/health/studies-research-findings/increased-telehealth-use-during-pandemic-linked-to-reduced-overdose-risk-study-finds/ |

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. (NYSE: HTA) ("HTA") announced today that its Board of Directors has established the last business day prior to the closing date of the previously announced merger (the "Merger") with Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated ("HR"), which is currently projected to be Tuesday, July 19, 2022, as the record date for the special distribution of $4.82 per share of Class A Common Stock (the "Special Distribution") to be paid pursuant to the merger agreement with HR. Pre-Merger HTA stockholders as of the record date will be entitled to receive the Special Distribution.
The Special Distribution is conditioned upon and subject to the approval by HTA and HR stockholders of the Merger and successful closing of the Merger in accordance with the merger agreement. Subject to favorable stockholder votes, the Merger is expected to close on July 20, 2022 (the "Merger Closing Date"). The Special Distribution will be paid five (5) business days following the effective time of the Merger, which is currently projected to be Wednesday, July 27, 2022. Due to the contingent nature of the Special Distribution, HTA's Class A Common Stock will trade with "due bills", representing an assignment of the right to receive the Special Distribution, beginning one business day prior to the record date, projected to be July 18, 2022, through the Merger Closing Date.
Additionally, the eligible holders of HTA's operating partnership units ("OP Units") will received an OP Unit distribution, which is on par with HTA's Class A Common Stock Special Distribution described above.
Important Information About the Special Distribution
Due to the contingent nature of the Special Distribution, as required by the rules of the NYSE, HTA's Class A Common Stock will trade with "due bills", representing an assignment of the right to receive the Special Distribution, beginning one business day prior to the record date, projected to be July 18, 2022, through the Merger Closing Date (such period of time the "Due-bill Period"). AS A RESULT, HOLDERS OF HTA'S CLASS A COMMON STOCK ON THE RECORD DATE MUST HOLD HTA CLASS A COMMON STOCK THROUGH THE MERGER CLOSING DATE IN ORDER TO BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE THE SPECIAL DISTRIBUTION. HTA STOCKHOLDERS WHO SELL THEIR SHARES ON OR BEFORE THE MERGER CLOSING DATE WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE THE SPECIAL DISTRIBUTION. PURCHASERS OF HTA CLASS A COMMON STOCK DURING THE DUE-BILL PERIOD (EVEN IF THE TRADE WILL SETTLE AFTER THE DUE-BILL PERIOD) WHO HOLD SUCH SHARES ON THE MERGER CLOSING DATE WILL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE THE SPECIAL DISTRIBUTION IN THE EVENT THAT THE MERGER IS SUCCESSFULLY CLOSED. STOCKHOLDERS THAT SELL HTA CLASS A COMMON STOCK DURING THE DUE-BILL PERIOD (EVEN IF THE TRADE WILL SETTLE AFTER THE DUE-BILL PERIOD) WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE THE SPECIAL DISTRIBUTION IN THE EVENT THAT THE MERGER IS SUCCESSFULLY CLOSED.
Due bills obligate a seller of shares of stock to deliver the dividend to the buyer. The due-bill obligations are settled customarily between the brokers representing buyers and sellers of the stock. HTA has no obligation for either the amount of the due bill or the processing of the due bill. Buyers and sellers of HTA Class A Common Stock during the Due-bill Period should consult with their broker before trading in HTA Class A Common Stock to be sure they understand the effect of the NYSE's due-bill procedures.
HTA's Class A Common Stock will begin to trade ex-dividend on the first business day after the Merger Closing Date. AS A RESULT, INVESTORS WHO ENTER INTO TRADES TO PURCHASE HTA CLASS A COMMON STOCK ON OR AFTER THE EX-DIVIDEND DATE WILL NOT RECEIVE THE SPECIAL DISTRIBUTION.

Lawyers seek data in Georgia election equipment breach
ATLANTA (AP) — A former Republican Party official in Georgia who was a fake elector in 2020 misrepresented her role in an alleged breach of voting equipment at a rural elections office two months after the last presidential election, according to a court filing.
The filing late Monday is part of a broader lawsuit challenging the security of the state’s voting machines that has been drawn into a separate investigation of former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn his loss in Georgia.
According to the latest filing, Cathy Latham helped coordinate the arrival of a computer forensics team at the Coffee County elections office on Jan. 7, 2021, welcomed them upon arrival and spent nearly all day there instructing them what to copy. That turned out to be “virtually every component of the voting system,” the court filing says. That directly refutes her testimony in a sworn deposition and her representations in filings with the court, the document states.
The filing comes in response to Latham’s attorneys’ attempt to quash subpoenas for her personal electronic devices, including any cell phones, computers and storage devices.
Robert Cheeley, an attorney for Latham, did not respond to an email seeking comment. He previously said his client doesn’t remember all the details of that day. But he said she “would not and has not knowingly been involved in any impropriety in any election” and “has not acted improperly or illegally.”
Latham said in a deposition last month that she moved to Texas over the summer. In January 2021, she was chair of the Coffee County Republican Party and was the state party caucus chair for more than 125 of Georgia’s smaller counties. Latham also was one of 16 Georgia Republicans who signed a certificate in December 2020 falsely stating that Trump had won the state and declaring that they were the state’s “duly elected and qualified” electors.
Trump in fact lost Georgia by nearly 12,000 votes to Democrat Joe Biden. The investigation into Trump’s efforts to change the results includes a phone call he made to the Georgia secretary of state suggesting he could “find” just enough votes to make Trump the winner.
The Georgia secretary of state’s office has described the copying of data from Coffee County’s election system as an “alleged unauthorized access.” It’s the latest of several suspected breaches of voting system data around the country tied to Trump allies since his election loss.
Attorney Sidney Powell and other Trump allies were involved in arranging for the copying of the election equipment in Coffee County — it is home to 43,000 people and voted overwhelmingly for Trump — as part of a wider effort to access voting equipment in several states, according to documents produced in response to subpoenas in the long-running lawsuit over Georgia’s voting machines.
Latham’s “data likely will reveal additional details about the work performed and information obtained in the breach, what was done with the compromised software and data, and the people involved in planning and orchestrating the breach, which puts voters and future elections at enormous risk,” the filing says.
An exhibit attached to the Monday filing juxtaposes quotes from Latham’s deposition with images pulled from security camera footage that appear to directly contradict her statements.
Latham said that she went to her job as a high school teacher and stopped by the election office briefly that afternoon. But the video image shows her arriving at 11:37 a.m. while time stamps on other images show her there throughout much of the day. She also said she didn’t see specific people and saw others only briefly, but the video images show otherwise.
The lawsuit that includes the fight over Latham’s personal electronic devices was originally filed several years before the 2020 election by individual voters and the Coalition for Good Governance, an election security advocacy group. It alleges that Georgia’s touchscreen voting machines are not secure and seeks to have them replaced by hand-marked paper ballots.
The Monday filing said the plaintiffs have identified multiple specific documents that Latham failed to produce in response to a previous subpoena. It seeks to have a third party make a temporary forensic copy of her devices and search for responsive documents.

UTICA, NY (WUTR/WFXV/WPNY) – World Lacrosse, the sport’s international governing body, announced on Tuesday, May 2 that the 2024 World Box Lacrosse Championships will be held at the Utica University Nexus Center next September.
Hosted by the Mohawk Valley Garden and Oneida County, the tournament will feature up to 30 men’s and ten women’s teams from around the world. It will be the first-ever international women’s box lacrosse tournament as well, while it is the sixth edition of the men’s tournament, held every four years since 2003.
“It is an incredible honor to host the World Lacrosse Box Championships in Utica. We are excited to showcase our facilities and all Utica has to offer,” Mohawk Valley Garden president Robert Esche said in a statement. “Hosting the men’s and women’s championships simultaneously will create an unprecedented atmosphere in the Adirondack Bank Center and the Utica University Nexus Center.”
This will be the first time the United States has hosted the tournament, and the second time it will be held in New York. The Onondaga Nation served as the host when the tournament was held in Syracuse in 2015.
While the Nexus Center will be hosting most of the games during the ten-day event, the Adirondack Bank Center will be hosting the opening night and gold medal games, as well as their own full slate of games.
Canada will be looking to defend their gold medal from 2019, when the host nation defeated the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. The United States placed third in the 2019 tournament. Players from the National Lacrosse League and Premier Lacrosse League – both of which host games in New York State – are also expected to play.
“The investments the county has made in the Adirondack Bank Center and the Utica University Nexus Center continue to draw premier events to our region,” Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente said in a statement. “We thank World Lacrosse for selecting us for this honor and we look forward to supporting our partners at Mohawk Valley Garden as we welcome thousands of fans from around the world to our community.”
The tournament will run from Friday, September 13 to Sunday, September 22, 2024. | 2023-05-02T23:16:50+00:00 | localsyr.com | https://www.localsyr.com/news/state-news/nexus-center-will-host-2024-world-box-lacrosse-championships/ |
French stabbing suspect charged with attempted murder as injured toddlers remain hospitalized
PARIS (AP) — French judges on Saturday handed preliminary charges of attempted murder to a man suspected of stabbing four young children and two adults in a French Alps park, an attack that reverberated across France and beyond.
The suspect is a 31-year-old Syrian refugee with permanent residency in Sweden. His name was not released.
The lead prosecutor, Line Bonnet-Mathis, told a news conference Saturday that the man was presented to investigating judges in the lakeside town of Annecy on Saturday and given charges of attempted murder and armed resistance. He is in custody pending further investigation.
The prosecutor said the victims are no longer in life-threatening condition after Thursday’s attack in and around a playground. The children, between 22 months and 3 years old, remain hospitalized.
The six victims came from four different countries: France, Britain, the Netherlands and Portugal.
The suspect, a 31-year-old Syrian political refugee with permanent residency status in Sweden, has a 3-year-old daughter and wife living in Sweden, the prosecutor said.
He was examined by psychiatrists who deemed him fit to face charges, the prosecutor said. She said that the motive for the savage attack remained unclear, but it didn’t appear to be terrorism-related.
Witnesses said they heard the attacker mention his daughter, his wife and Jesus Christ, according to the prosecutor, who said he had Christian objects with him at the time of the attack.
Police detained the suspect in the lakeside park in the town of Annecy after bystanders — notably, a Catholic pilgrim who repeatedly swung at the attacker with his backpack — sought to deter him.
French President Emmanuel Macron visited the victims and their families, first responders and witnesses Friday.
Macron said two young French cousins who were the most critically injured have stabilized, and doctors were “very confident.”
The wounded British girl “is awake, she’s watching television,” Macron added. A wounded Dutch girl also has improved and a critically injured adult — who was both knifed and wounded by a shot that police fired as they detained the suspected attacker — is regaining consciousness, Macron said.
The seriously injured adult was treated in Annecy. Portugal’s foreign ministry said he is Portuguese and “now out of danger.” He was wounded “trying to stop the attacker from fleeing from the police,” it said. The second injured adult was discharged from a hospital, his left elbow bandaged.
The pilgrim, Henri, a 24-year-old who is on a nine-month walking and hitchhiking tour of France’s cathedrals, said he’d been setting off to another abbey when the horror unfolded in front of him. The attacker slashed at him, but Henri held his ground and used a weighty backpack he was carrying to swing at the assailant.
Henri’s father said his son “told me that the Syrian was incoherent, saying lots of strange things in different languages, invoking his father, his mother, all the Gods.”
The suspect’s profile fueled renewed criticism from far-right and conservative politicians about French migration policies. But authorities noted that the suspect entered France legally, because he has permanent residency status in Sweden. Sweden and France are both members of the EU and Europe’s border-free travel zone.
He applied for asylum in France last year and was refused a few days before the attack, on the grounds that he had already won asylum in Sweden in 2013, the French interior minister said.

Twitter will no longer enforce its policy against COVID-19 misinformation, raising concerns among public health experts and social media researchers that the change could have serious consequences if it discourages vaccination and other efforts to combat the still-spreading virus.
Eagle-eyed users spotted the change Monday night, noting that a one-sentence update had been made to Twitter's online rules: "Effective November 23, 2022, Twitter is no longer enforcing the COVID-19 misleading information policy."
By Tuesday, some Twitter accounts were testing the new boundaries and celebrating the platform's hands-off approach, which comes after Twitter was purchased by Elon Musk.
"This policy was used to silence people across the world who questioned the media narrative surrounding the virus and treatment options," tweeted Dr. Simone Gold, a physician and leading purveyor of COVID-19 misinformation. "A win for free speech and medical freedom!"
Twitter's decision to no longer remove false claims about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines disappointed public health officials, however, who said it could lead to more false claims about the virus, or the safety and effectiveness of vaccines.
"Bad news," tweeted epidemiologist Eric Feigl-Ding, who urged people not to flee Twitter but to keep up the fight against bad information about the virus. "Stay folks — do NOT cede the town square to them!"
While Twitter's efforts to stop false claims about COVID weren't perfect, the company's decision to reverse course is an abdication of its duty to its users, said Paul Russo, a social media researcher and dean of the Katz School of Science and Health at Yeshiva University in New York.
Russo added that it's the latest of several recent moves by Twitter that could ultimately scare away some users and even advertisers. Some big names in business have already paused their ads on Twitter over questions about its direction under Musk.
"It is 100% the responsibility of the platform to protect its users from harmful content," Russo said. "This is absolutely unacceptable."
The virus, meanwhile, continues to spread. Nationally, new COVID cases averaged nearly 38,800 a day as of Monday, according to data from Johns Hopkins University — far lower than last winter but a vast undercount because of reduced testing and reporting. About 28,100 people with COVID were hospitalized daily and about 313 died, according to the most recent federal daily averages.
Cases and deaths were up from two weeks earlier. Yet a fifth of the U.S. population hasn't been vaccinated, most Americans haven't gotten the latest boosters, and many have stopped wearing masks.
Musk, who has himself spread COVID misinformation on Twitter, has signaled an interest in rolling back many of the platform's previous rules meant to combat misinformation.
Last week, Musk said he would grant "amnesty" to account holders who had been kicked off Twitter. He's also reinstated the accounts for several people who spread COVID misinformation, including that of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, whose personal account was suspended this year for repeatedly violating Twitter's COVID rules.
Greene's most recent tweets include ones questioning the effectiveness of masks and making baseless claims about the safety of COVID vaccines.
Since the pandemic began, platforms like Twitter and Facebook have struggled to respond to a torrent of misinformation about the virus, its origins and the response to it.
Under the policy enacted in January 2020, Twitter prohibited false claims about COVID-19 that the platform determined could lead to real-world harms. More than 11,000 accounts were suspended for violating the rules, and nearly 100,000 pieces of content were removed from the platform, according to Twitter's latest numbers.
Despite its rules prohibiting COVID misinformation, Twitter has struggled with enforcement. Posts making bogus claims about home remedies or vaccines could still be found, and it was difficult on Tuesday to identify exactly how the platform's rules may have changed.
Messages left with San Francisco-based Twitter seeking more information about its policy on COVID-19 misinformation were not immediately returned Tuesday.
A search for common terms associated with COVID misinformation on Tuesday yielded lots of misleading content, but also automatic links to helpful resources about the virus as well as authoritative sources like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Dr. Ashish Jha, the White House COVID-19 coordinator, said Tuesday that the problem of COVID-19 misinformation is far larger than one platform, and that policies prohibiting COVID misinformation weren't the best solution anyway.
Speaking at a Knight Foundation forum Tuesday, Jha said misinformation about the virus spread for a number of reasons, including legitimate uncertainty about a deadly illness. Simply prohibiting certain kinds of content isn't going to help people find good information, or make them feel more confident about what they're hearing from their medical providers, he said.
"I think we all have a collective responsibility," Jha said of combating misinformation about COVID. "The consequences of not getting this right — of spreading that misinformation — is literally tens of thousands of people dying unnecessarily."
