BERLIN (AP) — German police said Monday they’re examining the possibility of a political motive in the suspected sabotage of a railway communication system over the weekend that brought trains to a standstill across the northwest of the country.
Officials say cables were severed deliberately in a Berlin suburb and in Herne in western Germany, sites that are 440 kilometers (275 miles) apart.
Trains in the northwestern states of Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony and Bremen were halted for nearly three hours on Saturday morning. Railway operator Deutsche Bahn said that was necessary because a digital train radio system failed.
Authorities opened an investigation into suspicion of dangerous interference with rail traffic.
Police in the western city of Bochum said Monday that their state protection unit is conducting the investigation “because a political motivation is also being examined.” They didn’t elaborate on what that potential motivation might have been. | 2022-10-10T20:49:11+00:00 | mytwintiers.com | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/world-news/ap-international/ap-germany-eyes-possible-political-motive-in-railway-sabotage/ |
Two construction workers were still unaccounted for late Thursday after a massive, fast-moving fire broke out at a North Carolina construction site earlier in the day, the city's fire chief said.
Fifteen workers, including a crane operator, were rescued by the more than 90 firefighters called to the five-alarm blaze in the South Park neighborhood of Charlotte just after 9 a.m., Fire Chief Reginald Johnson said at a news conference. The crane operator was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening, Johnson said. Two workers were unaccounted for according to the construction foreman, the chief said.
The fire moved rapidly, and as crews worked to rescue all the construction workers in the building, firefighters got trapped on two occasions and had to be rescued by fellow firefighters, Johnson said.

"The men and women of this department put themselves in harm’s way and actually had to call for assistance themselves to get out of this fire. That’s how fast it was moving," Johnson said. "I’m proud of the work that we’ve done here."
Images from the scene showed tall flames and a yellow crane could be seen amid huge clouds of smoke. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department tweeted a request for people not to call 911 except in an emergency while the fire department battles the blaze.
Investigators on the scene will determine the cause of the fire, Johnson said. | 2023-05-19T23:45:24+00:00 | foxbangor.com | https://www.foxbangor.com/news/national/2-remain-missing-after-massive-blaze-at-north-carolina-construction-site/article_3845c444-8d8d-5edd-9cf3-688398eeb7be.html |
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A 36-year-old man remained jailed without bond Tuesday after authorities said he intentionally set a grass fire near the Kansas governor's mansion that burned 6 acres (2.4 hectares).
Police arrested the man, a Topeka resident, while firefighters worked Monday afternoon to put out the blaze, the Topeka Fire Department said. Authorities said the man had been seen lighting the fire.
Though the fire department needed nearly two hours to put out the fire, the blaze was contained quickly south of the governor's residence and never got closer to the mansion than between 200 yards and 300 yards (180 and 270 meters), city spokesperson Rosie Nichols said.
Gov. Laura Kelly was not at the mansion when the fire occurred.
The man has not yet been formally charged with a crime, but authorities listed the potential offense as arson. It wasn't clear whether he has an attorney yet.
The governor's mansion, known as Cedar Crest, sits on 244 acres (100 hectares) overlooking the Kansas River in west Topeka, and the grounds include hiking trails.
The home was built in 1928 by the Topeka State Journal's publisher, and he and his wife decided that upon their deaths, the state would be given the chance to use it as the governor's residence. Governors have occupied it since 1962. | 2023-02-07T21:25:26+00:00 | ourmidland.com | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/man-jailed-over-grass-fire-near-kansas-governor-s-17769705.php |
New in Town: Memento Zero Proof Lounge
When Fishers natives Shwa Hall and Max Gavin were still in their late teens and starting a recording business, they often found themselves working on their creative collaborations over laptops at local coffeehouses. But in the evenings, when those shops closed, there wasn’t a place for the under-21 duo to go. Years later, they’re tapping into a national trend toward lower-alcohol and booze-free drinks at Memento Zero Proof Lounge, with Hall matching the barista and bartending creds he’s earned at places like Noble Coffee & Tea Company and The Avenue Coffeehouse & Cafe with Gavin’s managerial savvy. Their self-described “modern gothic lounge” serving zero-proof cocktails, espresso drinks, and snacks will open this summer. 8701 E. 116th St., Fishers, mementoretail.com | 2023-06-20T12:53:09+00:00 | indianapolismonthly.com | https://www.indianapolismonthly.com/food-and-drinks/new-in-town-memento-zero-proof-lounge |
Police: Man arrested in taking of monkeys from Dallas Zoo
DALLAS (AP) — A 24-year-old man has been arrested in the case of the two monkeys taken from the Dallas Zoo after he was spotted near the animal exhibits at an aquarium in the city, police said Friday.
Davion Irvin was arrested Thursday and was charged with six counts of animal cruelty, Dallas police said. Jail records, which don’t list an attorney for him, indicate that he faces five charges of animal cruelty and that his bail was set at $25,000.
The reason for the discrepancy between police and the jail in the number of charges was not immediately clear.
Police said officers arrested him after getting a tip that he had been seen near the animal exhibits at the Dallas Aquarium.
The monkeys named Bella and Finn went missing Monday, and a cut was found in their enclosure. Police found them the next day in a vacant house south of the zoo after getting a tip.
There have been several unusual events at the zoo over the past few weeks, including other enclosure fences that were cut, the escape of a small leopard and the suspicious death of an endangered vulture.
Police said their investigation is ongoing and that further charges are possible.

WALLA WALLA, Wash. — Editor's note: The video in the player above aired on Sept. 26.
Washington State Patrol (WSP) Trooper Dean Atkinson Jr. will head home to Walla Walla after spending 10 days recovering from gunshot wounds at Harborview Medical Center.
On Sept. 22, Atkinson Jr. was shot in the face while in his patrol car. According to authorities, the suspect shot multiple rounds into Atkinson Jr.'s window. He attempted to defend himself by raising his arms and multiple bullets hit his hand.
Atkinson then drove himself to the nearest hospital and was later airlifted to Harborview.
WSP released a statement about the trooper's return home that read, in part:
"Trooper Atkinson’s road to recovery will now continue with his family, friends, and colleagues at his side in the community he serves. The outpour of community support, thoughts, and prayers for Trooper Atkinson and his family have been immensely appreciated."
WSP Trooper C. Thorson tweeted a video of Atkinson leaving Harborview. In the video, multiple troopers and other supporters gathered around the hospital exit to show their support.
In the tweet, Thorson said Atkinson's recovery is "surpassing all expectations."
A note threatening to "execute any cop or manager" was found in the home of the man who shot Atkinson. Brandon Dennis O'Neel, 37, was charged with attempted murder in the first degree, first-degree assault and attempting to elude police. Bail was set at $1 million.
O'Neel's next court appearance is scheduled for Oct. 3. | 2022-10-02T21:48:42+00:00 | king5.com | https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/wsp-trooper-shot-walla-walla-returns-home/281-6c7e942d-055d-4438-9307-f8444ed8e80b |
As U.S. clocks shift forward this weekend, many earthlings will find themselves momentarily confused about what time it is. But scientists say a far larger temporal problem is looming on the horizon: With multiple missions to the moon in the planning phase, it's time to set a Lunar time standard.
"We need to define a time on the moon," says Javier Ventura-Traveset of the European Space Agency (ESA). Without it, Ventura-Traveset warns, docking spacecraft could tumble into each other, astronauts might get lost on the lunar surface, and of course, nobody will know when they can take their lunch break.
When humans first traveled to the moon in the 1960s and 1970s, they didn't worry too much about what time to use, according to Andrew Chaikin, an author and space historian. "They set their watches to Houston time because that's where mission control was," he says. More formally, he adds, the Apollo missions used something called "mission elapsed time," which was a clock that started the second the rocket lifted off from Earth.
But in the decades since those missions, time has taken on a new importance here on Earth.
While nations set their times according to their position on our rotating ball of rock, all time zones globally are defined against single Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). UTC is set by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in Paris, France. It's created using an ensemble of atomic clocks all over the globe: they feed their times into the Parisian central laboratory, thereby ensuring that every nation ticks in synchrony to within a tiny fraction of a second.
In our modern world, that timing is essential to keeping computer networks humming and markets trading. Perhaps most importantly, time is the cornerstone of the world's global navigation systems.
Satellites – like those used for GPS – send time signals down to Earth. Because those signals arrive a fraction of a second later than the current time on the ground, the time difference can be used to determine a person's position on the planet's surface to astonishing accuracy.
Ventura-Traveset is part of a European effort to create a GPS-like system for the moon. Known as "Moonlight," the system would use a small number of satellites to create a communications and navigation network around a crewed landing site on the lunar surface.
But for it to work, both the landing site and the satellites need to know what time it is.
Currently, lunar missions use UTC like everyone else, and that might seem like the simplest solution, Ventura-Traveset says. But in fact, he believes it'll be tricky to use UTC on the moon. Part of the problem is the sheer distance between Earth and the moon, which means a timing signal from Earth would take over a second to get from earth to the moon – an eternity by the standards of today's atomic clocks.
But there's an even more fundamental problem: Einstein's theory of relativity states that time actually ticks differently in different parts of space. Specifically, the moon's lower gravity and its motion relative to Earth cause time to pass around 56 microseconds faster each earth day.
This 56 microseconds is not some abstract concept: Every day, astronauts living on the moon will age 56 microseconds more quickly than they will on Earth. That's far too small a time gap to make a difference in a human lifespan, but for navigation, that kind of time difference is enormous, Ventura-Traveset says.
To get accurate positions, "you need the level of nanoseconds," he says. In other words, the different rate of time flow on the moon means that clocks on the lunar surface cannot simply be run from Earth. Instead, he thinks a set of lunar clocks will need to be created that keep a special "moon" time.
Given the moon's proximity to Earth, Ventura-Traveset thinks that it may make sense to use some additional calculations to keep lunar time in sync with UTC, to give the illusion of continuity between the Earth and the moon. But as humans explore further into the solar system, he believes it will be necessary to create completely separate timescales. "If you are on Mars, or you are even farther away, probably you have your own time," he says.
ESA is working with NASA to figure out how to create standards for communications and navigation on the moon. In a statement, NASA told NPR that "subject matter experts throughout the international community are discussing an approach to provide recommendations to the International Astronomical Union for lunar reference frame and time systems."
Ventura-Traveset hopes ESA's proposal for a separate lunar time will ultimately be accepted by other space agencies around the world. "It's fascinating times," he muses.

CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (WBOY) — West Virginia is among the 10 states with the highest resignation rates, as a phenomenon dubbed the “Great Resignation” continues.
According to a WalletHub study from May, West Virginia came in with the sixth-highest resignation rates in the nation with 3.00% in the last month and 3.32% in the last 12 months.
The state with the highest resignation rates, according to WalletHub, is Louisiana at 3.70% in the last month and 3.52% in the last 12 months. The other states in the top five were South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi and Kentucky.
The states with the lowest resignation rates are Massachusetts (1.30% and 1.99%), New York (1.50% and 1.76%), District of Columbia (1.60% and 2.05%), New Jersey (1.70% and 2.01%) and Pennsylvania (1.70% and 2.06%).
Back in September 2022, West Virginia had a 1-month resignation rate of 4.10%.
What’s behind the high resignation rates? WalletHub says the surge started during the pandemic because workers wanted to get away from the industries most impacted by COVID-19 and the lockdowns, and at the same time, employers have been offering incentives to new hires encouraging people to switch jobs. | 2023-05-17T22:44:38+00:00 | wboy.com | https://www.wboy.com/news/west-virginia/west-virginia-among-states-with-highest-resignation-rates-study-finds/ |
HELSINKI (AP) — Lawmakers have approved a legislative reform that will ease the process of getting an abortion in Finland, which currently has the Nordic region’s strictest abortion law, dating back to 1970 and seen by many citizens as outdated.
Finland’s 200-seat Eduskunta legislature on Wednesday voted by a wide margin 125-41 in favor of a law reform that will, among other things, abolish the need for approval from two doctors to terminate a pregnancy.
Under the amended law, likely to take effect early 2023, approval from one doctor will be enough to undergo abortion.
In addition, a pregnant woman’s request for a termination will be sufficient to obtain the medical procedure without needing to provide further reasons — for instance on social and economic standing — up until the 12th week of pregnancy.
“The reform of the Abortion Act is a much-needed update to the clearly outdated legislation,” lawmaker Saara-Sofia Siren from the conservative National Coalition Party told Finnish public broadcaster YLE.
She said the reform, which enjoyed cross-party support in Parliament, is about the fundamental right of women to decide about themselves, their bodies and their lives.
The legislative reform is based on a citizens’ initiative which collected the required 50,000 signatures in 2020 for the issue to be dealt by lawmakers. | 2022-10-26T16:47:55+00:00 | cenlanow.com | https://www.cenlanow.com/health/ap-finland-reforms-abortion-law-to-replace-outdated-legislation/ |
President Joe Biden is formally kicking off his participation at a conference of southeast Asian nations on Saturday, looking to emphasize the United States’ commitment in the region where a looming China is also working to expand its influence.
Biden’s efforts at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit are meant to lay the groundwork ahead of his highly anticipated meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping — the first face-to-face encounter of Biden’s presidency with a leader whose nation the U.S. now considers its most potent economic and military rival.
The two leaders will meet on Monday at the Group of 20 summit that brings together leaders from the world’s largest economies, which is held this year in Indonesia on the island of Bali.
Traveling to Phnom Penh earlier Saturday, national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Biden will raise issues such as freedom of navigation and illegal and unregulated fishing by China with the ASEAN leaders — aimed at demonstrating U.S. assertiveness against Beijing.

Freedom of navigation refers to a dispute involving the South China Sea — where the United States says it can sail and fly wherever international law allows and China believes such missions are destabilizing. Sullivan said the U.S. has a key role to play as a stabilizing force in the region and in prevention of any one nation from engaging in “sustained intimidation and coercion that would be fundamentally adverse to the nations of ASEAN and other countries.”
“There’s a real demand signal for that,” Sullivan told reporters aboard Air Force One on Saturday. Referring to the People’s Republic of China, Sullivan continued: “I think the PRC may not love that fact, but they certainly acknowledge it and understand it.”
One new initiative related to those efforts that Biden will discuss later Saturday focuses on maritime awareness — specifically using radio frequencies from commercial satellites to better track dark shipping and illegal fishing, Sullivan said.
Biden’s visit to Cambodia — the second ever by a U.S. president — continues his administration’s push to demonstrate its investments in the south Pacific, which was highlighted earlier this year when the White House hosted an ASEAN summit in Washington, the first of its kind. He also tapped one of his senior aides, Yohannes Abraham, as the official envoy to the 10-country bloc that makes up ASEAN, another way the White House has highlighted that commitment.
ASEAN this year is elevating the U.S. to a “comprehensive strategic partnership” status — a largely symbolic enhancement of their relationship but one that puts Washington on the same level as China, which was granted the distinction last year.
Biden will begin his day in Phnom Penh by meeting with Hun Sen, the prime minister of Cambodia, the host for the regional summit. He’ll then speak at the annual U.S.-ASEAN summit and participate in the traditional family photo with southeast Asian leaders, and attend a gala dinner hosted by a parallel summit in Cambodia focusing on east Asia.
Another topic Biden will raise is Myanmar, where the military junta overthrew the ruling government in February 2021 and arrested its democratically elected leader, Aung San Suu Kyi. While in Phnom Penh, the president will discuss with other leaders how they can “coordinate more closely to continue to impose costs and raise pressure” on the military, Sullivan said, as it continues to repress people of Myanmar, which had steadily headed toward a democratic form of governance before the coup.
Biden will participate in East Asia summit meetings on Sunday, including a gathering with the leaders of South Korea and Japan, before leaving for the G-20 summit in Bali. | 2022-11-12T11:12:36+00:00 | nbcmiami.com | https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/national-international/biden-working-on-ties-with-southeast-asia-ahead-of-meeting-with-china/2907257/ |

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — A Nigerian court on Monday began its hearing on separate suits filed by the opposition to challenge the incumbent party’s victory in the country’s presidential election.
The presidential tribunal at the Court of Appeal in the capital, Abuja, heard the opening statements of lawyers representing opposition parties, which are the challenging the outcome of the February vote won by Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress.
As the court hearing began, armed security personnel blocked major access roads and prevented a handful of journalists and lawyers from entering the facility. Some protesters waved Nigerian flags and displayed placards, alleging that the electoral process was flawed.
“Why I am demonstrating is because of the anger and the pain I have as a Nigerian not allowed to express and enjoy the resources of the land,” said protester James Mike, who accused the Nigerian political class of pilfering the country’s wealth from huge mineral and crude oil resources.
Nigeria’s election commission declared Tinubu the winner of the election in a televised broadcast after he garnered 37% of the votes. But the two main opposition candidates rejected the result, questioning Tinubu’s qualification and alleging that results from the country’s 177,000 polling stations were tampered with.
Analysts and observers said that the voting on Feb. 25 was largely an improvement from Nigeria’s previous elections, but said that delays in uploading results might have given room for the figures to be tampered with.
In separate petitions, both second-place finisher Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party and No. 3 finisher Peter Obi of the Labour Party argued that Nigeria’s electoral commission violated the provisions of the law in announcing the results of the election.
Obi has said he has evidence to show he tallied the majority votes in the election while Abubakar has asked the court to disqualify Tinubu, alleging that he has a Guinean passport and therefore wasn’t eligible to enter the presidential contest under the Nigerian Constitution.
“We are telling the court that he (Tinubu) is not qualified and contrary to the law, he did not put (the election commission) on notice that he has citizenship of another country,” said Paul Ibe, a spokesman for Abubakar.
In Nigeria, an election can be invalidated only if it’s proven that the national electoral body largely didn’t follow the law and acted in ways that could have changed the result. None of Nigeria’s presidential election results has ever been overturned by the country’s Supreme Court, though analysts said this year’s vote is peculiar with the heavy deployment of technology in the electoral process.
The main opposition party has said without evidence that the ruling party is plotting to interfere with the court process, adding to tensions as the country awaits the judgment of the court while preparing for the inauguration of Tinubu as president. The court challenge though is usually a lengthy process and is expected to last for months, beyond May 29 when Tinubu is due to take over from incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari. | 2023-05-08T18:22:28+00:00 | fox44news.com | https://www.fox44news.com/news/world-news/nigeria-court-hears-oppositions-presidential-vote-challenge/ |

Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock (Ga.) and his Republican challenger Herschel Walker has the same message for their supporters Sunday: get out the vote for Tuesday’s runoff election.
During his weekly sermon at Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, Warnock alluded to his re-election effort but said he just wanted people to vote.
“The pastor dropped by this morning to tell you to use your voice,” he said. “I’m not gonna even begin to try to tell you who to vote for. I don’t care who it is.”
“I hear some dude running,” he quipped. “You gonna vote for somebody whose last name begins with a W.”
Warnock told his parishioners not to let anyone stop them from speaking, and noted that Republicans tried to block voters from casting ballots last Saturday.
“They made up some cockamamie reason,” he said. “So I prayed about it and I sued.”
Georgia’s courts ultimately ruled that state law did not prevent people from voting on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Walker held a campaign rally on Sunday along with Sens. Joe Kennedy (R-La.) and Tim Scott (R-S.C.), urging for his own supporters to cast their vote in Tuesday’s election, according to the New York Times.
“If you don’t have a friend, go make a friend and get them out to vote,” Walker told his supporters.
“Come rain, sun or shine,” he added, “we’ve got to get out there and let them know we’re sick and tired of this.”
Kennedy railed against former President Obama and the Biden administration during his speech, asking the lord to “save us from the high IQ stupid people.”
He also jabbed the media, saying journalists were so enamored of Obama that they would sign up to join the Taliban if the former president asked them to.
Warnock entered office after winning a runoff against Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) in January 2021. He narrowly beat Walker in November’s midterm, but neither candidate won a majority of votes, sending the race to a runoff.
Warnock is heavily favored in betting markets, and has maintained a slight but steady edge over Walker in recent polls.
A Warnock victory would give Democrats 51 seats in the Senate, and increase of one seat from their current majority. A victory for Walker would maintain the current status quo in the Senate, while also delivering a major win for former President Trump, who has backed the former football star’s candidacy.
More than 1.8 million Georgians have already cast their votes, representing more than a quarter of Georgia’s active voters (26.6 percent).
“Georgia has struck the perfect balance between accessibility and security,” Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said in a new release on Sunday, per CNN. “These historic turnout levels emphasize that any lawful voter who wants to cast a ballot can do so easily.” | 2022-12-05T04:15:23+00:00 | fox44news.com | https://www.fox44news.com/hill-politics/warnock-and-walker-share-same-final-sunday-message-go-vote/ |
5 things to know for Dec. 6: Georgia runoff, Hawaii volcano, SCOTUS, Flu, Ukraine
By Alexandra Meeks, CNN
If you’ve been sweating the deadline to apply for a REAL ID, you can now breathe a sigh of relief. The federal government announced an extension to obtain your updated driver’s license or identification card that will soon be required for all US air travel.
Here’s what else you need to know to Get Up to Speed and On with Your Day.
(You can get “5 Things You Need to Know Today” delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up here.)
1. Georgia runoff
It’s election day in the runoff race for the US Senate between Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker. After an impressive early voting period, voters in Georgia will head to the polls today to cast their ballots in what is expected to be a tight race, with both parties and allied groups pouring tens of millions of dollars into a contest that will shape the balance of power in the Senate over the next two years. While Democrats have already clinched control of the chamber, a victory for Warnock would give Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer a vote to spare and prevent any single lawmaker from possibly holding up the passage of legislation.
2. Hawaii volcano
Officials in Hawaii have activated the state’s National Guard as lava from the eruption of Mauna Loa steadily inches closer to a critical highway. The fountains of lava that have been shooting from the volcano over the past week are not a threat to communities or property, officials have maintained, but the direction of the flow is threatening to shutter parts of the Daniel K. Inouye Highway that links the east and west sides of the Big Island. Closing the road would lengthen residents’ commutes by hours, creating “a tremendous inconvenience,” former Hawaii Gov. David Ige told CNN. Still, many have flocked to see the rare sight of Mauna Loa spewing lava at the same time as the nearby Kilauea volcano, which has been erupting since last year.
3. SCOTUS
Conservative members of the Supreme Court appeared to side with a graphic designer who doesn’t want to work with same-sex couples on their wedding websites. The conservative justices suggested that an artist or someone creating a customized product could not be forced by the government to express a message that violates her religious beliefs. Meanwhile, supporters of LGBTQ rights and the state of Colorado — where the business is located — responded that the designer is simply seeking a license to discriminate in the marketplace. A decision in the case is expected by July. This comes as supporters of LGBTQ rights fear the 6-3 conservative majority on the high court may be setting its sights on reversing a landmark 2015 opinion that cleared the way for same-sex marriage nationwide.
4. Flu vaccine
The flu vaccine appears to be “a very good match” to the strains currently circulating, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said at a news briefing Monday. However, she noted that flu vaccinations are lagging behind the pace of previous years — even as the virus continues to intensify across the country. CDC data shows that nearly 20,000 people in the US were admitted to the hospital for flu during the week of Thanksgiving, almost double the number of admissions from the week before. There have been at least 8.7 million illnesses, 78,000 hospitalizations and 4,500 deaths from influenza this season, according to the CDC’s latest estimates.
5. Ukraine
Russia launched a fresh barrage of missiles toward Ukraine on Monday as it accused Kyiv of striking military airfields deep inside its territory. The attacks cut off water and electricity supplies in some areas amid freezing temperatures and killed at least one person, local authorities said. The port city of Odesa appears to be among the worst affected regions as officials say “all pumping station and reserve lines are without power — thus consumers don’t have water.” In Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, about 40% of people are without power after an energy facility was hit on Monday, military officials said. Despite the strikes, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has claimed a high success rate in intercepting the Russian missiles.

TORONTO (AP) — John Herdman says he will remain as Canada’s men’s soccer coach.
The 47-year-old Briton coached Canada in its first men’s World Cup appearance since 1986. He led New Zealand’s women’s team from 2006-11 and Canada’s women from 2011-18, winning Olympic bronze medals in 2012 and 2016.
“Success at this level will always invite opportunity,” Herdman said in a statement on Wednesday. “I’ve received several offers in recent months, all of which I have turned down, including an offer from New Zealand Football. … At the World Cup in Qatar, our men showed the world that they belong at that level. I’m not going anywhere. We still have a job to do, and the objective is to take this team to the next level in 2026.”
Earl Cochrane, Canada Soccer’s general secretary, confirmed Herdman is under contract through the 2026 World Cup that Canada is co-hosting with the U.S. and Mexico.
“There is no doubt how much passion and commitment John and his coaching staff have poured into our men’s national team program, taking our men from outsiders to our first World Cup in 36 years,” Cochrane said. “Everyone in our organization is committed to John and his coaching staff and he is the right person to take our country to new heights.” | 2023-02-01T20:47:55+00:00 | seattletimes.com | https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/john-herdman-will-remain-as-canadas-mens-soccer-coach/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all |

Nudists in Austria are up in arms about plans for a cable car that would pass over a popular beach on the northern edge of Vienna where clothing is optional.
The country's Austria Press Agency on Friday quoted nudist Barbara Hausjell saying she feared for her privacy if cable car users with cellphone cameras are allowed to swoop across the area.
“I don't want to end up on the internet,” the 72-year-old told APA.
Project developer Hannes Dejaco sought to reassure nudists, saying the cable cars would only pass over the beach for a short stretch. In addition, the windows could be made to turn opaque automatically, he was quoted as saying.

In the months before Lisa Parker was ousted as Baton Rouge's chief public defender, her office was roiled by investigations, accusations of favoritism and nepotism, severe tensions with state leadership and her own allegations she had suffered racial and gender discrimination, documents show.
Amid the turmoil, some in Baton Rouge's criminal justice community fear the quality of public defense for the parish's poorest defendants has suffered. And while the East Baton Rouge Office of the Public Defender prepares for the second time in two years to change leadership, the future remains uncertain for the largest criminal defense firm in the parish.
"We are getting ready to go into these very uncharted waters, and all of the chaos is not good for the system, but it’s most especially not good for the clients,” said the Rev. Alexis Anderson, a community activist and member of the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison Reform Coalition.
As the dust has settled in the week since the Louisiana Public Defender Board declined to renew Parker's contract, it is unclear when the sense of turmoil that has long pervaded the office will subside.
“The sooner that they make a decision to put someone in that spot to try and get it back together, the better off they’re going to be," said Rep. C. Denise Marcelle, a Baton Rouge Democrat. "Because right now, people don’t know what’s going on.”
'An unequal partner'
Parker, 53, stepped into the district defender role for one of the largest jurisdictions in the state in July 2021 following the departure of Chief Public Defender Michael Mitchell, who led the office for close to three decades.
Flozell Daniels, whose term on the state public defender board that appointed Parker ended in May, argues her hiring was problematic from the start. He characterized the search to replace Mitchell as "politically gamed by the state public defender and others on the board to look not at who was best qualified, but instead to give someone who was more likely to be responsive to and pay fealty to the state public defender” and a "spare" model of public defense that saves money but sacrifices clients.
State Public Defender Rémy Starns, who has offered support for Parker but later criticized her office's management, said the idea that he politically manipulated the board was "completely false."
"The board appointed Lisa Parker," Starns said. "At the time, the board’s composition was such that it created this situation."
He also categorically denied Daniels' summation of how he views public defense, emphasizing his commitment to robust representation.
Public defender board members who were active during Parker's tenure did not return an interview request, apart from Daniels. Parker also did not return a request for comment.
In the months after her arrival, Parker's office began to hemorrhage attorneys and support staff, some of whom accused Parker of a toxic leadership style. Ten months in, almost half of the office's attorneys had quit. Parker's office did not return a request for the latest numbers.
Citing that turnover, Marcelle, the state lawmaker, wrote to state leaders questioning Parker's management, later saying she should be fired. Judges publicly and privately shared concerns about Parker's leadership negatively impacting court.
“There is a lot to be said, quite frankly, about not being able to staff your office appropriately. An unequal partner is not a vigorous defense," Anderson said. "Due process is supposed to be the thing that happens when all the sides are even. When they’re not even, you run the table because you can."
The investigations
Eventually, the state public defender board intervened. Some members requested a report on Parker's office in the months before her contract was up for renewal. Starns also requested a legislative audit of her district.
The final board report, presented in a public meeting in March, showed employees continuing to leave the office nearly two years into Parker's leadership and that court officials were concerned about the dearth of attorneys.
It said Parker did not seem to understand the importance of fines and fees to fund the office, resisted a financial auditor's attempts to address internal problems and was hostile toward the state office. State staff also questioned her office's handling of a more than $167,000 settlement involving former employees, which the office failed to pay on time; Parker said she had not been made aware of it.
Another report by state staff for a site visit found that only 23 people out of a staff of more than 80 employees completed a survey, apparently out of concerns over confidentiality. For the interview portion, staff were only able to speak to nine people — among them, one of Parker's relatives and her own attorney, they later found.
"Nepotism and favoritism have also been alleged," the report says.
Around the same time that she learned of the site visit, Parker filed an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint alleging racial and gender discrimination from the board and Starns, arguing she had been targeted along with other female district defenders while trying to do her job.
Total 'dysfunction'
The current state of the public defender office "leaves many of the clients in a bad predicament,” according to Marcelle. As lawyers leave, their cases fall to the remaining attorneys, increasing the workload.
One of the state reports illuminates some of the office's challenges with fewer attorneys.
State staff found what "appeared to be the bare minimum" entered into a database that oversees cases for two attorneys at the office, with no notes regarding jail visits, initial interviews or statements.
An aggravated kidnapping case was not entered into the database, although it had been open for more than six months. In one second-degree murder case, no information had been added since May 2022 — a full year before the site visit. Another second-degree murder case hadn't been updated since August.
“What people are getting right now as a matter of public defense in Baton Rouge is not matching the best practice standards," Daniels said. "It’s not matching the golden rule approach of what would you want or need for you or your loved one, and it’s not matching what other high-performing districts are doing.”
Anderson worries about clients slipping through the cracks — sitting in jail as their cases are repeatedly continued, suffering from mental health issues, taking plea deals just to get home. She referred to the office as "dysfunctional, but critically necessary."
“Whatever happens in that office, it is not a small thing," she said. "It is a tsunami as to what kind of justice we have in this parish. To me, that is why it has got to be built up, it’s got to be strong — but it’s also got to be an effective advocate.”
Systemic problems
While Parker has drawn much of the focus and blame for the office's woes in recent years, Starns, the State Public Defender, argues some of the challenges facing the Baton Rouge office predate her, such as running an office that is not adequately funded — a concern many public defense leaders across the state have expressed.
Public defenders' offices are funded mostly through fees paid in the court system. The Baton Rouge district has seen its annual collection of conviction user fees decrease by more than $1.6 million since 2016, state public defense staff reported.
"I’m looking forward to resolving the challenges that we’ve had and having a more stable situation in the 19th," Starns said. "We know it’s going to involve more resources there and we’re going to get that under control."
Starns said he was not concerned with employees leaving the office for the first few months of Parker's tenure — that's to be expected when there is a period of transition, he said. The problem, he said, is that the office has suffered from a deficit of attorneys in the past two years.
"We need to reimagine what the office looks like going forward," Starns said. "We have good lawyers in the 19th, and they do good work. We just need more of them. We need to pay them better. We need to have a more stable environment there. Hopefully, with new leadership in the 19th, we can have that."
He declined to comment specifically on Parker's tenure, instead referring to the state staff report from March.
Building back
Parker's contract ends on June 30, leaving an opening for an interim chief and, eventually, a full-time district defender replacement.
Marcelle, who has expressed frustration the board did not remove Parker sooner, said she thinks leadership should pull Parker from the office before her contract ends, pay her severance and start fresh as soon as possible.
“It’s down to the bones in there," Marcelle said. "I kept saying, the longer y’all wait, the worse it’s going to be.”
Attorneys need to be hired — and it won't be a quick turnaround, according to Daniels.
“It takes years to replace those people and get the same performance," he said. "It takes years.”
For her part, Anderson worries that the office could end up in even worse shape when all is said and done — that history could repeat itself while the office is at its lowest. She also wonders about the people who need legal representation, and what an office in flux means to them.
"There’s a whole lot of tables that the public defender’s office needs to be sitting at from a very strong defensive model, and all that’s not going to stop while this office gets reconstituted," she said. "What happens to the clients?" | 2023-06-12T11:02:51+00:00 | theadvocate.com | https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/news/courts/inside-dysfunction-at-baton-rouges-public-defender-office/article_0eb6428e-03db-11ee-b35f-43cd6a1bb187.html |
SAN FRANCISCO – NBA Commissioner Adam Silver canceled plans to attend Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics on Monday night because of the league's health and safety protocols.
Silver typically attends all finals games.
The league did not say if Silver had tested positive for COVID-19 or been deemed a close contact of someone who had, nor released any details about his health.
Also unclear is when Silver will be able to resume attending games. Part of his role as commissioner involves handing out the league's championship trophy, which one team will be awarded either Thursday in Boston or Sunday in San Francisco.
Silver has been the NBA's commissioner since February 2014. This is the ninth championship series the league has held during his tenure, including the 2020 season that resumed inside a bubble at Walt Disney World in Florida in the early stages of the pandemic.

- From today, financial institutions, corporations, NGOs, regulators and academics can access the code behind OS-Climate's tools to support climate-aligned financial decisions
- Developed in collaboration with BNP Paribas, Allianz, Airbus, Amazon, Red Hat, Ortec Finance, and The Linux Foundation
- Supports OS-Climate's mission to provide the data and tools to enable the +$5 trillion1 annual climate-aligned investment required to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement
- Launches collaboration in building a transparently governed, non-profit public utility of climate data and analytics
NEW YORK, July 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Linux Foundation's OS-Climate, the non-profit organization providing open source data and software tools to enable the global shift to climate-aligned finance and investing, has today released for public collaboration three analytic tools critical to tackling the climate crisis.
The three tools, Physical Risk & Resilience, Portfolio Alignment, and Transition Analysis, were developed cooperatively by OS-Climate members, led by BNP Paribas, Allianz and Airbus respectively.
With today's public release, OS-Climate's tool development moves into an exciting new phase. Enabled by cloud services contributed by Amazon and Microsoft, the door opens to the global community of academic institutions, government agencies, modellers, and software developers for further powerful collaboration in building out the tools and Data Commons, a library of data and metadata suitable for use with OS-Climate's toolset.
In addition to Airbus, Allianz, and BNP Paribas, OS-Climate's financial services sector, technology sector, financial data, and 'real economy' corporate members include Amazon, BNY Mellon, EY, Federated Hermes, Goldman Sachs, London Stock Exchange Group, Microsoft, the UN-convened Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance ($10.6 trillion asset under management), Ortec Finance, Red Hat, and S&P Global.
Truman Semans, CEO of OS-Climate, said: "These tools will generate the refined data and actionable insights needed for pension funds, asset managers, and banks to rapidly align their investments and loans to net zero and resilience goals. They can be used not only by the leading members within the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) but the rest of the global financial community."
The Linux Foundation's community-led open source development approach, combined with strong, independent governance processes and methodological governance oversight, provides the transparency, trust, access and inclusion needed by all whose investment decisions impact climate change.
BNP Paribas leads the development of the Physical Risk & Resilience Tool that enables financial and non-financial stakeholders to identify and quantify risk related to climate resilience through asset vulnerability models that use probability and severity forecasting of extreme climate events.
Allianz, with support from Ortec Finance, leads the development of the Climate Portfolio Alignment Tool, which helps financial stakeholders to align portfolios at individual holdings and loan levels with the Paris Accord target temperature increase of 1.5 degrees Celsius.
The Transitional Analysis Tool developed by Airbus will enable corporations to model, test, and conduct scenario analysis for strategic climate-aligned decisions. This is the key to enabling the large-scale transition of real economy corporations toward Net Zero and resilience through climate-aligned investments in R&D, capital projects, other infrastructure and supply chains.
Commenting on its leading development role, Laurent David, Deputy Chief Operating Officer at BNP Paribas, said: "Robust and accessible data are essential to implement material climate policies and make sustainable finance credible. They are essential to allow financial institutions to set priorities, define objectives, and control their achievement. As a global financial institution, we can play a significant role in driving collaboration across the industry to help manage climate risk and increase investment in climate-aligned companies and projects. Through our collaboration with OS-Climate we can develop open source tools based on proper data far more rapidly than we could on our own. This will ultimately foster transparency and trust."
Günther Thallinger, Member of the Board of Management of Allianz SE said: "Allianz's collaboration with OS-Climate reflects our commitment to support and embed climate-aligned investments and the critical transition to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. We will continue to collaborate with a growing finance sector movement to harness the value of data that we as an industry will use to turn our commitments into real economy change."
Robert Litterman, former chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) climate-related market risk subcommittee, said: "This platform could be a real game-changer. The Linux Foundation's approach is uniquely able to build public goods that serve a wide range of public interests. This platform will accelerate innovation by commercial providers that can build on the 'pre-competitive' layers of data and technology OS-Climate is building. It also can help advance multiple goals of financial regulators for managing risk in the financial system, especially in terms of generating meaningful and comparable climate-related risk disclosures from corporations."
Margaret Kuhlow, Finance Practice Leader, WWF International, said: "Dealing with the profound and compound crises of climate breakdown and nature loss means aligning global financial flows for a net-zero, nature-positive economy. This relies on securing good, decision-grade data, which is a challenge too large for any single institution or company to tackle alone. By supporting a systematic approach to the provision of high quality, open data on climate and nature risk, and integrating that with standard financial data, OS-Climate could help accelerate the development of robust data solutions that enable financial institutions, tech companies, and commercial data leaders to contribute to a fairer, greener, more resilient future."
The tools will utilise the OS-Climate Data Commons, led by Red Hat, which will act as a public utility of corporate and other climate data and has enabled OS-Climate to significantly progress its technical roadmap announced at COP26. Development of the Data Commons, in collaboration with organizations including ClimateArc, will address the urgent need of the finance community for data that is transparent, consistent, and interoperable.

Which white gaming chair is best?
Once upon a time, you had to struggle to get comfortable in front of a computer. If you were lucky, you had a rigid office chair. But as computer components evolved, so did gaming chairs. There’s now a plethora of styles, models and brands, and many have additional functions akin to those of the seats in luxury vehicles.
If you want to look as elegant as ever and feel great while doing so, the Dowinx Gaming Chair With Massage Lumbar Support is an excellent choice.
What to know before you buy a white gaming chair
The color doesn’t improve your gaming
It shouldn’t come as a shock that a white gaming chair doesn’t improve your play. But there are other benefits that come with a white chair, such as blending in with neutral colors and making it easy to spot dirt. White is often paired with black or gold trimming, giving it an elegant look that won’t date quickly.
There’s a style for every gamer
The beautiful thing about gaming chairs is that there are types to suit most playing styles. You might be more of a traditionalist, with an upright office chair. Or if you generally play console games, you might find a recliner or rocker more comfortable. The best gaming chair for you is the one in which you feel at home and that won’t cause strain on your back.
Price should be a consideration
Gaming chairs vary wildly in price. Set yourself a budget and try to stick within the boundaries. Consider whether you really need leather trim, an added footrest or compatibility with vibration technology. Sure, it’s great to have the best, but at the end of the day, you’re just going to sit in it. And the most expensive chairs aren’t always the best.
What to look for in a quality white gaming chair
Padded upholstery
One of the most important aspects of any chair — not just those for gaming — is comfort. It could be the most expensive, elaborate chair in the world, but if it’s not comfortable, you won’t be satisfied. A good-quality gaming chair has thick padding on the seat and back support through a lumbar cushion. Most chairs tilt several degrees if you want to grab a quick nap, but the armrests are rarely more than hard foam.
Adjustability
Another sign of a good-quality gaming chair is adjustability. A rigid chair is uncomfortable, as you can’t adjust your backrest’s angle or the seat’s height. However, high-quality chairs can rotate 360 degrees, you can adjust the height and tilt angle, and you can lock them in place if you don’t want the rocking motion. The armrests can generally also swivel a few degrees, and slide forward and back.
Build quality
Not only do you want to be comfortable, you also don’t want to end up on the floor. It rarely happens, but gaming chairs can come apart and break due to inferior materials. Critical components such as the seating frame and backrest hinge are metal in good-quality gaming chairs. The fabric in these chairs also feels more luxurious and won’t peel after a while. This is a common issue with fake leather fabrics as the colored coating pulls loose.
How much you can expect to spend on a white gaming chair
The average price of a white gaming chair largely depends on the manufacturer. A basic model with the usual functions retails for $70-$80. However, a leather chair with elaborate trimming and thick foam padding sells for $200-$300.
White gaming chair FAQ
Are white gaming chairs shipped fully assembled?
A. No, they’re usually shipped in flat-pack boxes. While all the tools and screws are included, you must assemble them yourself. This isn’t as complex as it sounds, as instructions are included.
Do you get white gaming chairs with RGB lighting?
A. RGB lighting has become hugely popular with gaming accessories, but it hasn’t infiltrated gaming chairs as much. With that said, some white gaming chairs do have an RGB lighting strip down the sides, and you can sync music or gaming sounds.

NEW ORLEANS, May 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Could your medication lead to erectile dysfunction (ED)? Is ED a sign of future health risks? Can lack of sleep cause ED? What is the long-term prognosis after the first-ever penis transplantation surgery in the U.S.?
Researchers will be presenting these ED study findings at the 117th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA). Petar Bajic, MD, assistant professor of urology at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University, will moderate a press session featuring the following four abstracts at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans on May 14, 2022, at 1 p.m. CT.
Uday Mann, MD, of the University of Manitoba, investigated the association between erectile dysfunction and future cardiovascular disease and found that men with ED are at a substantially higher risk for major adverse cardiac events (MACE). "Erectile Dysfunction is an Independent Risk Factor for Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events"
It is well known that erectile dysfunction is a side effect of certain medications, while its association with other drugs is less recognized. Elie Kaplan-Marans, MD, of Maimonides Medical Center, employed a national pharmacovigilance database to assess which medications most frequently associated with ED, information that men prescribed those drugs would want to know. "Medications Most Commonly Associated with Erectile Dysfunction: Evaluation of the Food and Drug Administration National Pharmacovigilance Database"
After performing the first successful penis transplant in the United States in May of 2016, a multidisciplinary team co-led by Dr. Curtis Cetrulo, Jr. and Dr. Dicken Ko, of Harvard University and Brown University, respectively, has for the first time demonstrated the physiology of the observed erectile function and the reconstitution of innervation of the allograft in this five-year patient follow up. "Erectile Function 5- Years Following Successful Penis Transplantation"
In this large national claims analysis, Pranjal Agrawal, a medical student at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, found that various sleep disorders are strongly associated with erectile dysfunction and low testosterone levels. "Sleep Disorders and Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders Are Associated with Significantly Higher Rates of Hypogonadism and Erectile Dysfunction - A U.S. Claims Database Analysis"
"Erectile dysfunction has substantial implications for men's overall health. These studies shed important new light on the potential causes and effects of ED. Not only can the condition have both psychological and physical health consequences, ED also provides critical signals of other serious medical conditions that may otherwise go undetected," said Dr. Bajic. "Unfortunately, despite the fact that up to 30 million men in the U.S. are affected by ED, shame and embarrassment prevent many from discussing the condition with their physicians, resulting in missed opportunities for more effective and preventive care."
About the American Urological Association: The 117th Annual Meeting of the American Urological Association takes place May 13-16 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans. Founded in 1902 and headquartered near Baltimore, Maryland, the American Urological Association is a leading advocate for the specialty of urology and has nearly 24,000 members throughout the world. The AUA is a premier urologic association, providing invaluable support to the urologic community as it pursues its mission of fostering the highest standards of urologic care through education, research and the formulation of health policy.

What are the steps to renew an existing learner's permit? | Ask the DMV
Q: I'm a social worker employed by Rhode Island Student Assistance Services (RISAS) currently working as the Student Assistance Counselor at Smithfield High School.
Learning to drive is a hugely exciting milestone for many of our students, and questions around permits and licensing come up fairly often.
One of my students (under 18, who successfully completed driver's education remotely while it was still being offered) recently realized that their learner's permit had expired within the last month. My student is eager to renew their permit but is unsure how to proceed.
Are there any resources you could share with me that outline the steps to renew an already existing permit that has expired?
— Meg S.
A: Limited Instruction Permits, age 16 to 18, and Learner’s Permits, age 18 and older, may be renewed for two additional one-year periods. If a full Operator’s License has not been obtained after these renewals, then the permit holder will be required to pass the knowledge exam again.
To renew a permit, the holder must fill out the “License/ID/Permit Application” or the LI-1 Form. This form can be found on our website, www.dmv.ri.gov, under the “Forms” tab and “License Forms.” The fee for someone under 18 to renew their permit is $12.50; the fee for someone 18 and older is $7.50. A permit can be renewed in person by making a reservation at any of our branches — or AAA if they are a member — by making a reservation.
Instructions on how to make a reservation can be found on the front page of our website. Be sure to follow all the directions to the very end to receive a text or email reservation confirmation. Show this reservation to the security at the door of our branches, and you will be allowed into the branch to complete the transaction.
This transaction can be done by mail or by dropping off the paperwork. Complete the LI-1 form and provide a signed check made out to the DMV or a telephone number where we can call and get credit card information. We will process the transaction and send back the renewed permit and a receipt.
If the application is going to be mailed in with payment, please send it to the Cranston DMV, 600 New London Ave., Cranston, RI 02920.
If you are going to drop off the paperwork and payment, please use the Drop Box located in the foyer of our branches. Drop Box hours are the same as the branch hours. Branch locations and hours can also be found on our website.
An active permit is required to take the road exam. Our website can be referred to for information or to help answer questions.
Chuck Hollis is assistant administrator of the Rhode Island Division of Motor Vehicles.

U.S. markets were close to flat before the bell Wednesday as results of the U.S. midterm elections continued to come in with control of Congress hanging in the balance.
Futures for the benchmark S&P 500 were 0.5% lower, and futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average also dipped 0.5%.
Shares of Facebook's parent Meta rose more than 4% in premarket after the social media giant said it is laying off 11,000 employees, about 13% of its workforce. The cuts at Meta, whose revenue has declined for two straight quarters, come just a week after widespread layoffs at Twitter under its new owner, billionaire Elon Musk.
With votes from the U.S. midterms still being counted across the country, Republicans remained hopeful to win control of Congress. But Democrats showed surprising strength, defeating Republicans in some competitive races despite expectations that inflation and President Joe Biden's low approval ratings would drag the party down.
The elections could determine how much is done in the next several years in Washington, and possibly beyond. If Republicans gain control of at least one house of Congress, standoffs with the Democratic White House could stymie progress on legislation.
Bitcoin slumped to around $17,465 overnight, its lowest level in almost two years. Most of the cryptocurrency sector followed bitcoin's slide, one day after the world's biggest crypto exchange, Binance, said that it plans to buy its rival FTX Trading in what amounts to a bailout.
Shares of publicly traded companies with heavy exposure to crypto were also down in premarket after falling sharply on Tuesday. Coinbase was down 5% before the bell, while Robinhood Markets fell 2% and MicroStrategy slid 6%.
In Europe at midday, Germany's DAX had fallen 0.5%, while both the CAC 40 in Paris and the FTSE 100 in London shed 0.3%.
Chinese shares declined after weak inflation data provided further evidence of weakening demand in the world’s second-largest economy.
China's government reported consumer price inflation eased to 2.1% in October from 2.8% in September. Producer price inflation (PPI) dropped into deflationary territory, falling to minus 1.3% from 0.9% in October, the 21st straight month in an even stronger sign that the No. 2 economy is slowing.
“China inflation data printed a rather gloomy picture, with PPI remaining deflationary and CPI much weaker than expected, pointing to waning demand,” Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management said in a commentary.
In Asian trading, Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 index slipped 0.6% to 27,716.43 after the Cabinet on Tuesday approved a 29.1 trillion yen ($190 billion) supplementary budget to fund planned economic stimulus for the world’s third-largest economy.
Hong Kong’s Hang Seng lost 1.2% to 16,358.52 and the Shanghai Composite index shed 0.5% to 3,048.17.
In Seoul, the Kospi gained 1.1% to 2,424.41, while Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.6% to 6,999.30.
A more important milestone for markets this week than the election may be Thursday's report on inflation, which will affect the interest-rate hikes the Federal Reserve is pushing through to get it under control.
By raising rates, the Fed is intentionally slowing the economy by making it more expensive to borrow money. High rates also tend to drag down prices for stocks and other investments while raising the risk of a recession.
The Fed has already hiked its key overnight rate to a range of 3.75% to 4%, up from virtually zero in March, and more investors are expecting it to top 5% next year.
A softer reading than expected on Thursday could give the Fed leeway to loosen up a bit. Economists expect the report to show a continued, slight moderation from a peak set during the summer. But a worse-than-expected reading could have the opposite effect.
In other trading Wednesday, U.S. benchmark crude oil slid $1.45 to $87.46 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Brent crude, the international pricing standard, lost $1.50 to $93.86 per barrel in London.
The dollar inched up to 145.78 Japanese yen from 145.65 yen. The euro fell to $1.0045 from $1.0076.
Tuesday on Wall Street, the S&P 500 rose 0.6%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 1%. The Nasdaq composite gained 0.5%.

U.S. military forces around the world will no longer be required to get the COVID-19 vaccine, after the mandate was lifted under an $858 billion defense spending bill passed by Congress and signed into law Friday by President Joe Biden.
The department has 30 days to work out the details for rescinding the mandate. The Pentagon said Friday that in the meantime the military services would pause any personnel actions, such as discharging troops who refused the shot, and all troops would still be encouraged to get vaccinated and boosted.
Biden had opposed the Republican-backed provision, agreeing with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin that lifting the mandate was not in the best interests of the military, according to White House officials. But he ultimately accepted GOP demands in order to win passage of the legislation.
The contentious political issue, which has divided America, forced more than 8,400 troops out of the military for refusing to obey a lawful order when they declined to get the vaccine. Thousands of others have sought religious and medical exemptions.

The new law effectively ends those exemption requests, but questions remain about whether any limited restrictions may continue for troops on specific missions or assigned to areas of the world where vaccination is still required.
Austin, who instituted the mandate last August after the Pfizer vaccine was approved by the Food and Drug Administration and as the coronavirus pandemic raged, was staunch in his desire to maintain it insisting the vaccine was necessary to protect the health of the force. And he and other defense leaders argued that for decades troops, particularly those deployed overseas, have been required to get as many as 17 different vaccines. No other vaccine mandates were affected by the new law.
But Congress agreed to rescind the mandate, with opponents reluctantly saying that perhaps it had already succeeded in getting the bulk of the force vaccinated. Roughly 99% of active-duty troops in the Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps had gotten the vaccine, and 98% of the Army. The Guard and Reserve rates are lower, but generally are more than 90%.
U.S. & World
After signing the defense bill on Friday, Biden said in a statement that certain provisions “raise concerns,” but overall it “provides vital benefits and enhances access to justice for military personnel and their families, and includes critical authorities to support our country’s national defense, foreign affairs, and homeland security.”
The bill includes about $45 billion more for defense programs than Biden had requested and roughly 10% more than last year’s bill as lawmakers looked to account for inflation and boost the nation’s military competitiveness with China and Russia. It includes a 4.6% pay raise for servicemembers and the Defense Department’s civilian workforce.
According to U.S. officials, the department will take at least some of the next 30 days to work out the details of rescinding the vaccine mandate and decide what specific orders will come from Austin and what, if any, flexibility he will leave to service secretaries and chiefs.
Defense officials familiar with the ongoing discussions said there have been high-level meetings on the issue with some spirited discussions, and that service leaders have made it clear that they want clear, specific guidance and for everyone to implement the new directive the same way.
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations, said the department is reviewing legal and medical advice as they figure out how to mitigate any potential health risks in military missions.
Austin, however, could leave some decisions to the services -- including whether they can require vaccines in some circumstances, such as certain deployments overseas. In recent public comments, Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro suggested that rescinding the vaccine mandate could divide the service into two classes of people: those who can deploy and those who can’t.
Military officials vividly recall the overwhelming crisis of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, the Navy aircraft carrier that was knocked out of duty and sidelined in Guam for 10 weeks in early 2020 as the emerging virus swept through the ship. More than 1,000 crew members eventually became infected, and one sailor died.
Military leaders worry that if troops begin to refuse the vaccine in large numbers, similar outbreaks could occur. The risk is particularly high on small ships or submarines where service members are jammed into close quarters for weeks or months at a time, or on critical combat missions, such as those involving special operations forces that deploy in small teams.
What appears clear is that the department won’t be forced to bring back service members who refused the vaccine and were discharged for failure to obey an order. An amendment to require their reinstatement with back pay failed to pass.
According to data compiled by the military as of early December, the Marine Corps leads the services with 3,717 Marines discharged. There have been 2,041 discharged from the Navy, 1,841 from the Army and 834 from the Air Force. The Air Force data includes the Space Force.
What’s not clear is if the services, who are facing recruiting challenges, will want to allow some service members to return, if they still meet all necessary fitness and other requirements.
Lawmakers argued that ending the mandate would help with recruiting. Defense officials have pushed back by saying that while it may help a bit, a department survey done during the first nine months of this year found that a large majority said the mandate did not change the likelihood they would consider enlisting. | 2022-12-25T01:30:09+00:00 | nbcchicago.com | https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/national-international/congress-ends-covid-19-vaccine-mandate-for-us-troops/3030444/ |

Europe broils in heat wave that fuels fires in France, Spain
LA TESTE-DE-BUCH, France (AP) — A heat wave broiling Europe spilled northward to Britain and fueled ferocious wildfires in Spain and France. French authorities evacuated thousands of people and scrambled water-bombing planes and firefighters to battle flames the Monday. Two people were killed in the blazes in Spain that the country’s prime minister linked to climate change. That toll comes on top of the hundreds of heat-related deaths reported in the Iberian peninsula, as high temperatures have gripped the continent in recent days and triggered wildfires from Portugal to the Balkan region. Climate change makes such life-threatening extremes less of a rarity.
Economics of war: Pain for Europe now, later for Russia
Europe is feeling the pain from Russia's war in Ukraine. Mounting pressure from high energy prices is driving record inflation and raising the likelihood of a plunge back into recession. An energy crisis fueled by European reliance on Russian natural gas has spread through the economy. Food banks in Italy are feeding more people, dairies wonder how they will pasteurize milk and the euro has sagged to a 20-year low against the dollar. While Europe struggles, Russia has stabilized its currency and inflation through a fortress economy built to withstand international sanctions. But economists say that picture is misleading and Russia has bought itself long-term economic stagnation by launching the war.

Texas state police launch internal review of Uvalde response
UVALDE, Texas (AP) — The Texas Department of Public Safety has launched an internal review over the slow response to the Uvalde school massacre. The review, announced Monday, comes after a damning new 80-page report released over the weekend by the Texas House revealed wide failures by all levels of law enforcement. The findings put more than 90 state troopers at Robb Elementary School during the May 24 tragedy. Texas DPS Director Steve McCraw has previously called the law enforcement response to the shooting an “abject failure.”
Prosecutor recalls coldness, cruelty of Parkland gunman
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A prosecutor says the gunman who attacked the high school in Parkland, Florida, in 2018 should be executed. Prosecutor Mike Satz on Monday described to 12 jurors the cold, calculating way Nikolas Cruz mowed down his victims, including returning to some as they lay wounded to finish them off. Cruz pleaded guilty in October to murder and attempted murder in the deaths of 14 students and three staff members at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The 23-year-old is contesting only his sentence. The jury will decide whether he is sentenced to death or life in prison without parole. The case is expected to last for four months.
Police laud actions of man who killed Indiana mall attacker
GREENWOOD, Ind. (AP) — Authorities say a gunman who shot five people at a suburban Indianapolis shopping mall, killing three of them before a shopper shot and killed him, was a 20-year-old local man who was apparently facing eviction. Greenwood Police Chief James Ison said at a news conference Monday that Jonathan Sapirman, of Greenwood, began firing after leaving a bathroom at the Greenwood Park Mall shortly before it closed Sunday evening. He says Sapirman continued shooting people until 22-year-old Elisjsha Dicken, of Seymour, shot and killed him. Authorities say Dicken was shopping at the mall with his girlfriend and that he acted heroically. Ison says investigators are still trying to determine a motive, but that Sapirman's relatives say he was facing eviction.
GOP establishment steps up push to block Trump ally in Ariz.
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey has already helped block one of former President Donald Trump’s allies from winning the Republican nomination for governor in a crucial battleground state. Now Ducey is part of a burgeoning effort among establishment Republicans to lift up little-known housing developer Karrin Taylor Robson against former television news anchor Kari Lake. What once looked like an insurmountable lead for Trump-backed Lake could end in a more competitive finish on Aug. 2. On Monday, former Vice President Mike Pence endorsed Robson, underscoring the divide between the GOP establishment and Trump. Both Pence and Trump will campaign in the state on Friday for their candidates.
US Rep. Hice fights subpoena in Georgia election probe
ATLANTA (AP) — U.S. Rep. Jody Hice is fighting a subpoena seeking to have him testify before a special grand jury that is investigating whether former President Donald Trump and others illegally tried to interfere in the 2020 general election in Georgia. Hice's lawyer said in a court filing that the subpoena orders the Republican congressman from Georgia to appear before the special grand jury in Atlanta on Tuesday. That filing seeks to have the matter heard in federal court rather than in a state superior court. Hice was one of several GOP lawmakers who attended a December 2020 meeting at the White House in which Trump allies discussed various ways to overturn Joe Biden’s electoral win.
Fauci expects to retire by end of Biden's current term
WASHINGTON (AP) — Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert, says he plans to retire by the end of President Joe Biden’s term in January 2025. Fauci, 81, became director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in 1984 and has advised seven presidents. Fauci said on CNN Monday that he doesn't have a specific retirement date in mind and hasn’t started the process. Fauci was thrust into the national spotlight at the height of the coronavirus pandemic under then-President Donald Trump, who suggested the pandemic would “fade away,” promoted unproven treatment methods and vilified scientists who countered him.
Q&A: Jordan Peele on the dreams and nightmares of 'Nope'
NEW YORK (AP) — There’s little in contemporary movies quite like the arrival of a new Jordan Peele film. They tend to descend ominously and mysteriously, a little like an unknown object from above that casts an expanding, darkening shadow the closer it comes. “Nope,” the writer-director’s third film, is nearly here. And after Peele’s “Get Out" and “Us,” the closely-kept-under-wraps “Nope” brings a new set of horrors and unsettling metaphors. In an interview, Peele says his movie is “an answer to the way Hollywood began.” “Nope” opens in theaters Friday.
Pitch clocks, shift limits, larger bases in MLB's future
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Major League Baseball is considering a pitch clock for next year along with shift limits, larger bases and restrictions on pickoff attempts. A clock experiment in the minor leagues cut the average this year to 2 hours, 37 minutes from 3 hours, 4 minutes at a similar point for non-clock games last year. The average time of nine-inning MLB games increased from 2 hours, 43 minutes in 2003 to 3 hours, 13 minutes in 2020 before dropping to 3 hours, 2 minutes so far this season. An 11-person competition committee with six management representatives, four players and one umpire will make the decisions. Limited use of robot plate umpires is possible as early as 2024. | 2022-07-18T22:07:59+00:00 | wcfcourier.com | https://wcfcourier.com/news/national/ap-news-summary-at-5-44-p-m-edt/article_51be5fac-7aca-52ed-8008-0b10195b4988.html |
Last year, TechForce Foundation released a report that might have been alarming to some.
The report said that there is an annual demand for 258,000 new automotive technicians nationwide, but only 48,000 graduates from technician programs.
With an aging workforce that might be nearing retirement age, that could spell big trouble for consumers who already are dealing with longer wait times for service or maintenance on their cars.
In light of that, Ford announced on March 30 that it is unveiling $1 million in scholarships for students who want to become automotive technicians.
The effort hopes to help low-income students obtain a two-year certification program in Arizona, Georgia, Illinois and Texas.
The scholarship is open to current and future students who are enrolled in post-secondary auto or auto and diesel technician training programs in the greater Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas and Phoenix areas.
Ford hopes to expand the program nationally depending on its success.
Funds will be distributed in $5,000 increments to help with tuition, tools, transportation and living expenses.
Applications for the scholarships are due by June 30. | 2023-04-05T16:46:03+00:00 | local10.com | https://www.local10.com/features/2023/04/05/new-initiative-unveiled-for-aspiring-mechanics-to-help-with-industry-wide-shortage/ |
8,000+ resilient native trees and shrubs to be planted, and 50,000 + seeds to be dispersed with the help of 500 Malibu-based volunteers and workers.
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarins, in partnership with The Malibu Foundation and the National Park Service, joined forces again for the third annual community Replant Love event at iconic Paramount Ranch. The mission: to advance biodiversity by replanting more than 8,000 native trees and plants lost in the Woosley Fire in 2018 on the weekend of the event—for a total of 21,000+ plants in the ground since the inaugural Replant Love event in 2019. This beats the records for the most trees and plants planted in a single day in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, the record currently held by Replant Love 2021.
Supported by community and global leaders representing various industries—including Orlando Bloom, Josh Brolin, Evelin Weber, Melissa Reidhead, Lucas Petry, Rachel Roberts, Erin Murphy, Linda Thompson, Talia Jackson, Emma Kenney, and Blake Gray. Malibu native lifestyle brand, Malibu Sports Club, supplied the Replant Love 2022 shirts and hats, and founders Isela and Valeria Noire also showed up to plant trees. Boxed Water and Jennifer's Paletas kept volunteers hydrated and refreshed. Local food trucks, Tres Compas and Kalamaki, prepared meals for all volunteers and staff. Replant Love 2022 was produced by Eventors, and the National Park Service provided onsite support to educate proper planting to all volunteers to ensure a high plant survival rate. Evelyn Weber, chair of the Malibu Foundation, said, "A great impact can be made by a holistic approach of private corporations, public institutions, and government coming together for a common cause."
Following the Woolsey Fire, the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreational Area (SMMNRA) became overrun with over 300 non-native, highly flammable, invasive plant species that are pushing out native vegetation. With the help of park staff and volunteers, an effort is being made to combat their spread to help prevent future fires and preserve the fragile ecosystem in the Malibu region.
Clarins—a brand that has been rooted in nature for more than 65 years—shares the same environmental values with the Malibu Foundation, to preserve and protect biodiversity. In addition to planting trees and shrubs, volunteers at Replant Love spread sunflower seeds—a key ingredient in several Clarins skincare products, and a plant native to SMMNRA.
Paramount Ranch is an integral part of Hollywood's history, and an iconic backdrop for decades of film production, generating hundreds of TV shows and commercials. After purchasing a portion of the original Paramount property in 1980, the National Park Service revitalized the movie ranch. Television productions at Paramount include The Mentalist, episodes of the X-Files, Hulu's Quickdraw, and most of HBO's hit series Westworld.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut state representative and a wrong-way driver were both over the legal limit for alcohol when they were killed in a highway crash in January, according to government officials and state police.
Middletown Democrat Quentin Williams, 39, died in the early morning hours of Jan. 5 as he returned home from Gov. Ned Lamont's inaugural ball in Hartford. His car burst into flames after it was struck head-on by the wrong-way driver on Route 9 southbound in Cromwell.
The other driver, Kimede Mustafaj, 27, of Manchester, had a blood-alcohol level that was nearly twice the legal limit of 0.08, according to a toxicology report obtained by local media. Mustafaj also had THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, in her system, the report says.
State police said Wednesday that the full accident report was not yet publicly available because it was still being reviewed. Authorities have placed full blame for the crash on Mustafaj.
State House Speaker Matt Ritter told lawmakers and Capitol reporters Tuesday that the state public safety commissioner, James Rovella, notified him that toxicology tests showed Williams was over the legal limit.
Ritter said he had not seen the report and it wasn't clear what exactly Williams' blood-alcohol level was. He said the news did not take anything away from Williams' stature as a dedicated public worker and rising political star.
“He was an incredible person and his legacy is, you know, to us ... the same legacy that he created and established ... with the work that he did in Middletown and for the state of Connecticut," Ritter said.
The crash happened just hours after Williams was sworn in for a third term, shocking and saddening family, friends and colleagues. Before being elected to the legislature, Williams served as Middletown’s city treasurer. | 2023-05-10T15:15:15+00:00 | lmtonline.com | https://www.lmtonline.com/news/politics/article/report-lawmaker-wrong-way-driver-both-dui-in-18090815.php |
OCEAN CITY, N.J. (AP) — Opponents of offshore wind projects are suing New Jersey and the Danish wind energy developer Orsted over a lucrative tax break the state approved for the company, saying it is illegal because the law was written to benefit only one entity.
The lawsuit was filed Thursday by two residents’ groups that are opposed to offshore wind projects and three electricity customers from Ocean City who seek to overturn the law. They say it gives Orsted about $1 billion in tax relief for one of the two windmill projects it plans to build off the state’s southern coast.
The state Legislature passed a bill allowing Orsted to keep federal tax credits that it was obligated to pass along to ratepayers. In applying for permission to build the project, called Ocean Wind I, Orsted had promised to return such credits to customers.
Lawmakers who narrowly approved the bill said the aid was needed to help Orsted deal with inflation and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“If we don’t figure out a solution, this doesn’t get done in New Jersey,” Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy said after signing the bill on July 6. “Either we get this bill done and the industry thrives here, and the jobs that are associated with it, or it goes somewhere else.”
Bruce Afran, a lawyer representing two groups who brought the lawsuit — Protect Our Coast NJ and Defend Brigantine Beach — said the state is not permitted to enact laws that benefit only one party.
“The Legislature’s giveaway of federal tax credits to Orsted benefits a single company in violation of the New Jersey Constitution,” he said. “In New Jersey, laws that favor a single private party are generally unconstitutional.”
Neither the governor’s office nor Orsted immediately commented Friday on the lawsuit, which was filed in state Superior Court in Mercer County.
Almost immediately after the tax break for Orsted was approved, another company that also has approval for an offshore wind project in New Jersey said it, too, wants a tax break.
Atlantic Shores said it wants government assistance to build its own wind farm off the southern New Jersey coast, warning that the project is “at risk” without additional financial assistance from the government.
Murphy said he is “open-minded” toward the Atlantic Shores’ request. Atlantic Shores is a joint partnership between Shell New Energies US LLC and EDF-RE Offshore Development LLC.
In a letter to lawmakers before the bill was approved, a state office representing the interests of utility customers said the bill would boost Orsted’s profits “and will result in higher prices being paid by ratepayers.”

MINNEAPOLIS, June 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases supported by the Parsemus Foundation found a 41% reduction in Long COVID rates among people who used metformin at the time of COVID infection. The trial also saw a 42% reduction in emergency room visits, hospitalizations, or death among COVID-19 patients who started metformin treatment.
In the COVID-OUT study, researchers from multiple academic institutions tested the effectiveness of three generic medications—metformin, ivermectin and fluvoxamine—in adults who had been diagnosed with COVID-19 within the last three days. The randomized, quadruple-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial was the first in the country to study whether these medications could prevent severe outcomes and Long COVID. The trial found that people who took metformin within seven days after the onset of COVID symptoms were 41% less likely to experience Long COVID than those who had placebo—with a 63% reduction if metformin was started within four days.
"The results of this study are important because Long COVID can have a significant impact on people's lives," said Carolyn Bramante, MD, principal investigator and an assistant professor at the University of Minnesota Medical School. "Metformin is an inexpensive, safe and widely available drug, and its use as a preventive measure could have significant public health implications."
Previous data suggested that metformin's anti-inflammatory and anti-infectious properties could treat COVID-19 infection. The antiviral effect was confirmed in a recent analysis of the viral load of COVID-OUT study participants, which is currently available as a preprint. Researchers reported a 3.6-fold decrease in the SARS-CoV-2 virus level in people who received metformin instead of placebo.
Three years into the pandemic, more than 6.8 million people worldwide have died of the virus, and countless people still suffer from Long COVID. As the first COVID treatment proven to reduce Long COVID in a randomized controlled trial, metformin is safe, accessible and low-cost. Metformin is also one of the most commonly prescribed medications in the United States and globally, taken by more than 150 million people each year. This new treatment option is especially important for the approximately one in three patients who cannot take Paxlovid (Pfizer's groundbreaking COVID treatment) because of conflicting medications or health conditions.
"Access to affordable COVID treatment is a global justice issue. We hope the U.S. and other nations update their guidelines to include metformin as a treatment option for people with COVID-19," added Elaine Lissner, founder and trustee of the Parsemus Foundation, a research funder part of the nonprofit coalition funding the trial. "This would be the first universally available treatment, giving more people a tool to combat the disproportionate impact of this disease."
The Parsemus Foundation works to create meaningful improvements in human and animal health and welfare by advancing innovative and neglected medical research. The foundation has supported rigorous clinical studies on the effectiveness of existing medications to treat COVID infection, including enrollment support and bilingual outreach for the University of Minnesota's COVID-OUT trial.

School closes after dozens of spiders found; teacher, student suffers bites, principal says
MANITOWOC, Wis. (WBAY/Gray News) - Officials say spiders have forced a middle school to close in Wisconsin after a teacher and a student were bitten.
WBAY reports Wilson Middle School has been closed after dozens of yellow sac spiders were found on campus this week, according to the school’s principal.
On Thursday, a student’s arm reportedly became itchy and swollen after she brushed a spider off her arm while she was in class.
School officials said a teacher was also bitten by a spider and needed medical attention for swelling, itching and pain.
According to a letter sent to parents from Wilson Middle School Principal Cory Erlandson, a school nurse treated the student for the bite.
The principal’s letter cited the Pennsylvania State University Department of Entomology, saying that yellow sac spider bites are not lethal, but they can be very painful at the outset and resemble an allergic reaction.
On Friday, Valley Pest Control was working to eradicate the spiders. A note was posted at the school regarding pesticides being used at the campus amid the closure.
Erlandson said classes were expected to resume on Dec. 12 but also urged parents to continue to monitor their children for any spider bite symptoms.
The school’s principal cited the Mayo Clinic recommending those to seek medical care if they have severe pain, a growing wound at the bite site, or problems breathing or swallowing.

(NEXSTAR) – Taco Bell is holding up its end of the deal after promising to bring back a discontinued item of its fans’ choosing.
In March, Taco Bell announced plans to resurrect one of two items from its not-too-distant menu: the Beefy Crunch Burrito, made with seasoned beef, sour cream, rice and Fritos Flamin’ Hot corn chips; or the Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco, which comes in a taco shell seasoned with Doritos Cool Ranch flavoring.
After nearly a million votes, Taco Bell announced Thursday that the Beefy Crunch Burrito came out on top, with 59.9% of the vote.
“It’s a great day for our movement as devoted Beefy Crunch Burrito fans everywhere have made their voices heard,” Richard Axton, the founder of a so-called “Beefy Crunch Movement” on social media, said in a press release issued by Taco Bell.
The item, which was previously a fixture of the Taco Bell menu from 2010 to 2018, will be available for a limited time starting sometime in early August, according to Taco Bell.
Taco Bell last ran a similar promotion between September and October 2022, asking fans to vote on resurrecting either the Enchirito, a smothered burrito item, or the Double Decker Taco. The Enchirito won out, securing 62% of the votes (around 765,000 votes in total) as well as a spot on the Taco Bell menu in November of that year.
Taco Bell did not say whether there were plans to offer the Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco (2013-2019 during a separate promotion, nor whether the chain had plans to bring back any other discontinued Taco Bell items. | 2023-04-13T19:40:30+00:00 | kxnet.com | https://www.kxnet.com/news/national-news/taco-bell-to-resurrect-discontinued-item-after-fans-vote-to-bring-it-back/ |

The Vigo County School Board will conduct a public hearing on two proposed general obligation bond issues totaling $12.2 million Monday.
One bond issue for $6.1 million would be for high school infrastructure improvements.
It would be combined with $18 million in federal ESSER funds to complete HVAC and plumbing work at Terre Haute North, Terre Haute South and West Vigo high/middle school.
The district has been working with Schmidt Associates to develop a plan to address HVAC and plumbing issues at those schools.
ESSER dollars will be used for the HVAC, and general obligation bond dollars for related plumbing issues.
The second bond issue, also for $6.1 million, would go for district-wide maintenance projects including roofing, paving and HVAC as well as technology or equipment needs.
It is a continuation of the district’s general obligation bond program, which started in 2017. Bond proceeds are used to offset the impact of property tax caps; the losses are now more than $7 million annually.
The board will meet at 6 p.m. in the administration office conference center, 501 Olive St., West Terre Haute.
During the regular meeting after the public hearing, the board will consider the following new business:
• A realignment of staff involving Covered Bridge Special Education District and VCSC staff.
• VCSC calendar revisions.
• Latch key program proposals and a recommendation. Proposals are from the Terre Haute Children’s Museum; CASY; YMCA of the Wabash Valley; and a joint proposal from the Terre Haute Boys and Girls Club/Camp Navigate. | 2023-05-22T02:04:12+00:00 | tribstar.com | https://www.tribstar.com/news/local_news/vcsc-board-to-conduct-hearing-on-12-2m-proposed-bond-issues/article_43e9a27a-f698-11ed-8fd7-fb47ac368d09.html |
Man charged in 20-plus ‘swatting’ calls in US, Canada
SEATTLE (AP) — U.S. authorities on Thursday said they arrested a Washington state man who made more than 20 “swatting” calls around the country and in Canada, prompting real emergency responses to his fake reports of bombs, shootings or other threats.
Ashton Connor Garcia, 20, of Bremerton, used voice-over-internet technology to conceal his identity as he placed the calls last year — and he treated them as entertainment, broadcasting them on the social media platform Discord, federal prosecutors said.
He faces 10 felony counts filed in U.S. District Court in Tacoma, Washington, that could bring up to a decade in prison. Court records did not immediately indicate if Garcia had an attorney who might speak on his behalf.
“Every time Mr. Garcia is alleged to have made one of his false reports to law enforcement, he triggered a potentially deadly event — sending heavily armed police officers to an address where they mistakenly believed they would confront someone who was armed and dangerous,” Seattle U.S. Attorney Nick Brown said in a news release. “Fortunately, no one was hurt, but the unpredictable and terrifying dynamic these calls created for Mr. Garcia’s alleged victims cannot be overstated.”
Garcia’s arrest came as a spate of threats and false reports of shooters have been pouring into schools and colleges across the country, unnerving officials, parents and students who are already on edge about actual school shootings — including at a private Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, this week.
Computer-generated calls on Wednesday made hoax claims about active shooters in Pennsylvania, and a day earlier, nearly 30 Massachusetts schools received fake threats.
Garcia is not accused of having sent SWAT teams to schools. Instead, prosecutors say, in several cases he collected personal information about his victims and threatened to send emergency responses to their homes unless they turned over money, credit card information or sexually explicit images.
Law enforcement entered some of the homes with guns drawn and detained people inside, authorities said.
In other cases, he called in fake bomb scares for the Fox News station in Cleveland, Ohio, on July 28 and for a flight from Honolulu to Los Angeles on Aug. 23. In another instance, he is accused of threatening to bomb an airport in Los Angeles unless he received $200,000 in Bitcoin.
The indictment does not indicate how investigators identified Garcia as a suspect.
Garcia placed the calls to agencies in California, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Washington and Edmonton, in Alberta, Canada, the indictment said.
Authorities have warned that such hoaxes can prove deadly. In 2017, a police officer in Wichita, Kansas, shot and killed a man while responding to a hoax emergency call. This month, the city agreed to pay $5 million to settle a lawsuit, with the money to go to the two children of 28-year-old Andrew Finch.

FLINT Systems announces the release of the first linguistic based AI Detection tool – a web app that creates a unique linguistic fingerprint and applies forensic linguistic methodologies to detect Contract Cheating and AI generated text.
NEW YORK, March 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- FLINT Systems is releasing the first linguistic tool designed to detect whether a document was authored by its attributed author. Unlike other AI detection tools, FLINT technology applies forensic linguistic methodologies to create a digital linguistic fingerprint of an individual's writing style. It then creates a linguistic fingerprint of the document at question and compares the two. Testing results showed that when documents were created by anyone other than the individual who submitted the document, FLINT Systems correctly identified in over 80% of the cases.
"For several decades we have been developing and applying forensic linguistic methodologies to identify the authors of documents" says leading expert, FLINT Systems Chief Linguistic Officer, Professor Robert Leonard, a pre-eminent forensic linguist, whose clients include the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit, Joint Terrorism Task Force, Director of National Intelligence, NYPD, UK's MI-5 and Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), Apple, Facebook, and the Prime Minister of Canada. Leonard's methodologies have been accepted by federal and state courts across the nation. "We have been working for several years to automate these well-established methodologies to correctly identify whether a text was authored by a machine or by a specific human."
AI authorship tools, such as ChatGPT, Jasper, ParagraphAI or Toolbaz, are making it easier for individuals to automatically generate documents and texts, and then masquerade as the authors of these documents. A recent survey by Intelligent.com found that 30% of college students have already used tools like Chat GPT on their homework assignments. Even more alarming is that over 60% said they plan to use these tools.
Some AI based authorship detection tools, such as GPTZero, have already been developed to counter this phenomenon. Their approach is complicated by the high likelihood that authors will do some level of editing on the AI generated documents, thus making this approach to detection more error prone.
By applying linguistic fingerprinting technology, the FLINT System can correctly identify when an individual did not author the document, regardless of whether or not there are elements of humanly developed texts interwoven into the AI document.
"We all have our individually unique writing style writing, inserting a single space or multiple spaces between sentences, repeating typos, capitalizing sentences differently" explains Jonathan Barsade, Co-CEO of FLINT Systems. Barsade continues that "Applying hundreds of linguistic features, statistical analysis and technology processes, we are able to create a linguistic fingerprint of individuals, and just like police who use a comparison of fingerprints to identify individuals who were at a crime scene, FLINT Systems applies the linguistic fingerprint to identify whether a document was authored by the individual, an AI bot, or some mixture."
"The unique strength of the FLINT toolbox is in the integration of multiple methodologies and technologies," states Ted Gutierrez, Co-CEO of FLINT Systems.
About FLINT SYSTEMS
FLINT SYSTEMS (flintai.com) was founded to automate the process of Authorship Determination. It has developed its software platform to enable businesses, institutions, and law enforcement to analyze whether a certain document of questioned origin shares likely common authorship features with other documents of known origin applying standard linguistic rules and patterns. The evaluated features include linguistic phenomena of various kinds, including grammatical patterns, punctuation and word usage. Statistical analysis is then applied to evaluate the features, applying weighted values that are determined by the commonality and rarity of each feature. The more rare the feature, the more value that is associated with it, suggesting higher likelihood of unique document identification and commonality. Flint's key areas of focus are: Authorship Attribution, Contract Cheating, and Threat Assessment. The system is a fully automated software solution, reducing time and costs required for running analysis. The user controls variables ensuring that the analysis fits the particular goals for individual cases. Reports provide detailed reasoning, not just black-box binary responses, so that a realistic, well established, understanding of authorship probability is developed.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Malaysian officials on Thursday condemned a Singapore-born stand-up comedian who mocked Malaysia and made fun of the 2014 disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 during a skit in the United States.
Jocelyn Chia posted her act on social media, sparking outrage in Malaysia and prompting Singapore officials to quickly apologize. Chia made crude remarks about Malaysia, which she said lagged far behind Singapore after the two separated in 1965.
She joked about Malaysian airplanes not being able to fly, drawing gasps from the audience. Chia continued: “Why? Malaysian Airlines going missing not funny, huh? Some jokes don’t land.”
Flight MH370 was carrying 239 people from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing when it vanished on March 8, 2014, and is presumed to have crashed in the far southern Indian Ocean.
Malaysian Foreign Minister Zambry Abdul Kadir said Chia’s act “showed a total lack of sensitivity and empathy” toward Malaysians and the victims’ families.
“This video also clearly depicts behavior that is contrary to the values of Asian countries that are known for their manners and morals,” he said in a statement.
Singapore Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan took to Twitter on Thursday to apologize. He said he was appalled by Chia’s “horrendous statements” and that Chia doesn’t speak for Singaporeans.
“We treasure our ties with family and friends in Malaysia, and are sorry for the offense and hurt caused to all Malaysians,” he said.
Singapore officials said Chia was no longer a citizen. The Singapore Straits Times reported she is now a U.S. citizen. Following the backlash, the video appeared to have been removed from some of Chia’s social media but could still found on some sites.
A Malaysian social news portal, the World of Buzz, reported that Chia was defiant. She had posted earlier on social media in response to criticism that “people take jokes way too seriously,” it said. Chia added that “tragedy + time = comedy” and said that the joke was acceptable as it has been long enough since the incident, the site reported. Her comments were later inaccessible.
Scattered pieces of debris that washed ashore on African beaches and Indian Ocean islands indicated that MH370 likely crashed in a distant remote stretch of the ocean. But a government search by Australia, Malaysia and China failed to pinpoint a location. And a second, private search by U.S. company Ocean Infinity found no sign of a possible crash site. | 2023-06-09T05:06:52+00:00 | everythinglubbock.com | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/entertainment-news/malaysia-singapore-slam-comedian-for-offensive-joke-over-mh370-plane-disappearance/ |
(WSVN) - More than 200 Cuban migrants have been returned to the island since Tuesday following over a dozen interdictions off the coast of South Florida, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
Officials on Saturday said crews have stopped 14 different groups at different locations over the past five days.
All 203 migrants were given food and medical attention before they were sent back.

(NEXSTAR) – Southwest Airlines announced a new policy Thursday the company hopes will help make travel more flexible amid the ongoing pandemic (and yet another surge of the coronavirus). The airline said flight credits will now be without expiration dates.
The new policy will automatically apply to flight credits issued after Thursday (July 28). Customers with existing credit on their accounts also benefit, and don’t need to do anything – the credit will automatically transition to the kind that doesn’t expire. (If you got credit for a change of plans a few years ago that went unused and expired on July 27 or earlier, you’re out of luck.)
The credit in customers’ accounts will say it expires on Dec. 31, 2040, but that’s just a “placeholder expiration date” until the airline’s systems can be upgraded, the company said in a press release.
“Beginning today, July 28, 2022, Southwest Customers will begin seeing a placeholder expiration date of December 31, 2040, on valid flight credits ahead of additional work later this year that will update technology systems to altogether remove expiration dates on flight credits.
The airline teased the policy on Twitter before making it official, saying, “One like and we’ll eliminate expiration dates on all current and future flight credits.”
Less than a minute later they made it official: “Okay fine, we were gonna do it anyway.”
Southwest said it is the only U.S. airline to introduce such a policy.
You’re eligible for credit anytime you cancel a flight more than 10 minutes before its scheduled departure, the fine print in Southwest’s announcement on flight credits reads. | 2022-07-28T22:52:09+00:00 | siouxlandproud.com | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/national-news/southwest-airlines-says-flight-credits-will-last-forever/ |
The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV will achieve an EPA-estimated range of 450 miles in base work truck (WT) form, the automaker said Friday in a press release.
Chevy mentioned a 400-mile range when the Silverado EV was first shown at the 2022 CES, but “extensive development and testing unlocked the increased 450-mile range,” a spokesperson from the automaker said in a statement. That figure remains an estimate for now, with full EPA testing to come closer to the truck’s on-sale date.
Aimed at fleet buyers, the Silverado EV WT will be available in both 450-mile and 350-mile guises. Chevy said it’s still on track to start deliveries of WT models in spring 2023, as scheduled, meaning the first deliveries should occur soon. A Silverado EV RST First Edition model aimed at retail customers will launch this fall. The Silverado EV (and its GMC Sierra EV sibling) will be built at General Motors’ Orion Assembly plant, which currently builds the Chevy Bolt EV and EUV, with a full production ramp-up scheduled for 2024.
The Silverado EV features the same “structural sandwich” construction as the GMC Hummer EV, as well as a version of that truck’s Watts to Freedom (WTF) mode called Wide Open Watts (WOW) enabling up to 664 hp and more than 780 lb-ft of torque from a dual-motor powertrain in some models, with 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds. Chevy previously quoted a maximum towing capacity of 10,000 pounds, with up to 1,300 pounds of payload.
The Silverado EV also brings back the Chevy Avalanche’s midgate, along with a large frunk and PowerBase system with up to 10 power outlets and output of 10.2 kw—beating the Ford F-150 Lightning’s 9.6 kw. DC fast charging at 350 kw beats the Ford as well, but it remains to be seen how the Chevy’s cold-weather charging performance measures up.
Chevy initially said Silverado EV WT models would start at $39,900 but hasn’t issued a pricing update recently. Ford has raised Lightning prices multiple times, to the point where the fleet-oriented Lightning Pro model now starts above $60,000. Strong demand for electric trucks could cause Chevy to do the same.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Hydroelectric turbines may stop turning. Las Vegas and Phoenix may be forced to restrict water usage or growth. Farmers might cease growing some crops, leaving fields of lettuce and melons to turn to dust.
Those are a few of the dire consequences that could result if states, cities and farms across the American West cannot agree on how to cut the amount of water they draw from the Colorado River.
Yet for years, seven states that depend on the river have allowed more water to be taken from it than nature can replenish. Despite widespread recognition of the crisis, the states missed a deadline this week to propose major cuts that the federal government has said are necessary.
And again, the government failed to force harsh decisions and stopped short of imposing the cuts on its own, despite previous threats to do so.
Any unilateral action from federal officials would likely move conversations from negotiating tables to courtrooms and delay action even longer.
The river, which cascades from the Rockies down to the deserts of the Southwest, quenches the thirst of 40 million people in the U.S. and Mexico and sustains a $15 billion-a-year agricultural industry.
But for a century, agreements governing how it’s shared have been based on faulty assumptions about how much water is available. With climate change making the region hotter and drier, that discrepancy is becoming impossible to ignore.
Lake Powell and Lake Mead, the two largest reservoirs that hold Colorado River water, have fallen to dangerously low levels faster than anyone expected. The decline threatens to disrupt hydroelectric power production and water sent to cities and farms.
Though everyone agrees the stakes are high, states and the U.S. government have struggled to reach a consensus on what to do.
People have “been hoping to stave off this day,” said Felicia Marcus, a former top water official in California, which holds the largest right to the river’s water. “But now I think we can’t expect Mother Nature to bail us out next year. The time for some of these really hard decisions is now.”
The river is also tapped by Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Mexico and some tribes.
For years, officials have issued warnings about the state of the river, but also reassured people that the system won’t crash. That two-part message was front and center this week, when the states failed to meet a deadline set by the Bureau of Reclamation for them to propose 15% to 30% cuts to their water use.
As the deadline passed Tuesday, the potentially dramatic moment amounted to a shrug. Officials said they still have faith the states will reach a deal if given more time.
Visiting California the next day, Reclamation Commissioner Camille Touton repeatedly dodged questions about what might happen next. She’s given no specifics about what the bureau’s more aggressive actions might look like, or when they might happen.
The federal government, she said, “is ready to move forward on our own.” But officials “will continue to talk to everybody about what the process is.”
Not everyone is satisfied with that approach.
“I’m asking them to at least lay out very clearly how that threat will be imposed,” Southern Nevada Water Authority General Manager John Entsminger said.
Entsminger and his counterparts in Arizona, Utah and California, as well as local officials in and around Phoenix, also repeated what has become a common refrain: They said they were gravely concerned about river’s future, yet wanted to reassure their water users that the river won’t stop flowing imminently.
“This is not a situation where people should be concerned about, you know, water running out in days or weeks or even months. But it’s very clear that this entire river system is experiencing something that’s never happened before,” said Wade Crowfoot, California’s natural resources secretary.
The cuts would force hard decisions about who has to live with less. Water bills could rise as states tap other sources and adopt technology such as wastewater recycling to make up the difference.
In some places, officials have voluntarily implemented strict conservation measures, including limiting lawn watering and paying farmers not to plant fields, even banning new water hookups. The climate legislation signed Tuesday by President Joe Biden provides $4 billion that could be used to pay Colorado River users to cut back, but it’s not clear how that would work.
The river’s shrinkage has inflamed tensions between Rocky Mountain states and their downstream neighbors over who should shoulder the burden. It also pits growing cities against agricultural regions.
In Pinal County, Arizona, Kelly Anderson grows specialty crops for the flower industry and leases land to alfalfa farmers whose crops feed cattle at nearby dairy farms. He expects about half of the area to go unplanted next year, after farmers in the region lose all access to the river.
Though farmers use most of the water, they have less wiggle room to conserve than cities, which can more easily recycle water or tap other sources. The river is a lifeblood in places like California’s Imperial Valley, which grows vegetables like broccoli, onions and carrots. Water shortages could send ripple effects throughout the food system.
States aren’t the only ones at the table. Native American tribes hold some of the oldest water rights and occupy a unique position in negotiations because the federal government is required to protect their interests.
The Colorado River Indian Tribes along the Arizona-California border have contributed water to boost Lake Mead in the past. They could be called on again.
“Our senior rights do not mean we can or should sit on the sidelines,” Colorado River Indian Tribes Chairwoman Amelia Flores said. “We won’t let this river die.”
Upper basin states — Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming — argue that they shouldn’t face cuts because they historically haven’t used all the water they were promised a century ago.
They want to protect their share in anticipation of population growth and haven’t pursued policies that save water as much as states like Arizona and Nevada.
Zach Frankel, executive director of the Utah Rivers Council, said many in the Rockies cling to an erroneous belief that their water rights are safe, cuts will continue to hit their downstream neighbors and one wet winter could reverse the river’s decline.
“If we don’t agree about what the crisis is, we’re not going to have the impetus to come up with a solution,” he said.
Arizona, Nevada and California say they’re willing to put water or money on the table, but so far that hasn’t been enough to yield an agreement.
A growing chorus of veteran officials and environmental advocates say both the states and the federal government are sending muddled messages by stressing the gravity of the situation yet delaying meaningful action.
James Eklund, an attorney and former director of the Upper Colorado River Commission, said the shrinking reservoirs present an opportunity to rethink how to manage the river and incentivize conservation — if only officials will take it.
Bureaucrats, he said, continue to think they can postpone changes. The problem is “that doesn’t really work here because no action means we’re driving toward a cliff.”

Mississippi deputy who died in the line of duty among names added to National Police Memorial
National Police Week is observed from May 11-17.
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - The nation is paying tribute to fallen officers this week in Washington D.C. as the country marks National Police Week.
A deputy who died in the line of duty in Mississippi is among the 563 names being added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. Jefferson Davis County Sheriff’s Deputy Thomas Patrick Barnes died in a car crash while responding to a call in 2021. Barnes left behind a wife and family.
“When someone has fallen in service of others that sacrifice should never be forgotten. That is what gives us the quality of life we enjoy,” said Patrick Yoes, National Fraternal Order Of Police President.
Yoes believes National Police week is an opportunity for families of fallen officers to find common ground and comfort amidst their shared tragedies.
“There’s so many emotions families go through trying to make sense of the senseless, struggling with this new reality and coming here and interacting with people who are feeling the same pain. You know they laugh, they talk, they cry,” he said.
National Police Week takes place every year in May. In 1962, President John F Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week as National Police Week.
Due to COVID-19, this is the first time in two years the event is being held in person.
Many events including a police unity bike ride and a memorial concert are being held to honor those who lost their lives.
A candlelight vigil will be held at the National Mall on Friday.
A wreath laying ceremony takes place Sunday at the memorial.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A House oversight panel on Tuesday subpoenaed gunmaker Smith & Wesson for documents on the manufacture and sale of AR-15-style semi-automatic rifles after its CEO refused to appear for a hearing on the firearms frequently used in mass shootings.
The House probe found that five major gunmakers took in a combined total of $1 billion in revenue from the weapons over the last decade, and they were at times marketed as a way for young men to prove their masculinity even as they became a “weapon of choice” for mass shooters.
A mass shooting that killed seven people and injured three dozen others at a July 4 parade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park was carried out with Smith & Wesson’s M&P 15 semi-automatic rifle.
CEO Mark P. Smith originally agreed to testify last week before the Committee on Oversight and Reform along with the heads of two other companies, but pulled out five days before, Democratic Chair Carolyn Maloney of New York said in a statement. The company also hasn’t provided all the information and documents, including data about the sales of its AR-15-style firearms, asked for in its investigation into gun manufacturers, she said. The subpoena also seeks the Massachusetts company’s internal communications around mass shootings.
The company didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
The hearing with gun executives came shortly before the House passed legislation to revive a ban on certain semi-automatic weapons, including the AR-15, the first vote of its kind in years. But the measure is expected to stall in the Senate, with Republicans solidly opposed.
Gunmakers say the weapons themselves aren’t to blame for mass shootings, which are on the increase but rare overall. Gun-rights supporters argue the firearms are also popular with many people who buy them for self-defense and have a right to own them under the Second Amendment. | 2022-08-03T02:22:14+00:00 | wnct.com | https://www.wnct.com/news/national/house-panel-subpoenas-gunmaker-for-data-on-rifle-sales/ |
Several major U.S. oil companies face a growing number of environmental lawsuits, some of which are five or more years old due to the fossil fuel companies’ legal delays. This is because Exxon Mobil, Suncor and Chevron believed they would stand a better chance of winning in federal court. However, an April 24 U.S. Supreme Court ruling stated that the proper venue for these lawsuits is the state courts. Plaintiffs include the state of Rhode Island and municipalities in California, Maryland, Colorado and Hawaii.
Several California cities alleged in a joint statement that oil companies knew the dangers of fossil fuels, but “deceived and failed to warn customers about it, even as they continued pocketing trillions of dollars in profits.”
Exxon’s own records indicate predictions that its products would cause climate change. But state and local governments have had to pay for damages and for climate mitigation and adaptations.
On the opposing side, major oil companies have hired public relations firms — veterans of defending the tobacco companies — to help them in their campaign.
With this new ruling, we can expect more lawsuits against the oil companies and perhaps now banks will decide that lending to fossil fuel companies is a bad investment — leading to a better environment for all of us.

Police in a Florida park fatally shot an armed woman who “ambushed” them as they were searching for a suspect in a drug investigation, officials said.
The shooting happened around 10:30 p.m. Thursday at Tom Brown Park in Tallahassee. Tallahassee police officers and a Leon County sheriff’s deputy responded to the park after receiving a report that the drug suspect they were looking for, a man, was seen there, according to a department news release Friday.
While at the park, they encountered a second man with the suspect, who officers recognized as making previous threats to law enforcement, as well as the woman who was an associate of the second man. The second man was detained while the woman walked away, but she returned a short time later firing a rifle, the Tallahassee Police Department said in a statement.
Fearing for their lives, the officers and deputy returned fire and she was struck. She was taken to a hospital, where she died.
No police officers were injured and there is no threat to public safety, the police department said. | 2023-05-27T18:57:22+00:00 | winknews.com | https://winknews.com/2023/05/27/police-in-florida-say-they-fatally-shot-armed-woman-who-ambushed-them-in-park-2/ |
PITTSBURGH, May 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Advanced Leadership Institute (TALI) is pleased to announce that their signature program, the Executive Leadership Academy – delivered in partnership with Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) – is expanding nationally! This year marks the five-year milestone of the Executive Leadership Academy (ELA), and the expansion is an exciting next step for the Institute.
"I am encouraged that this endeavor we embarked upon five years ago has been so successful and is positively impacting our participants, their companies, and the broader community," says Evan Frazier, President and CEO, The Advanced Leadership Institute. "The Executive Leadership Academy has been instrumental in addressing an important need to promote Black leadership diversity, and we are eager to continue building on this critical work through the National program."
The National Executive Leadership Academy is a competitive program preparing Black leaders from across the country for national and global executive advancement. While The National Academy will have the same powerful punch as the Executive Leadership Academy, it will be delivered in a hybrid format to accommodate participants from different cities and regions. Programming will include three months of online instruction, plus two, one-week in-person sessions at CMU's Tepper School of Business in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Additionally, cohort members will receive intense training on topics, such as "Defining Your Leadership Brand," "Resilience for Executives of Color," "Global Management and Strategy," "Building Networks of Influence," and more.
Each year, experienced Black leaders with at least 10 years of experience are selected to participate. Unmatched in its approach, the Executive Leadership Academy addresses unique challenges that Black professionals face in the workplace. In addition, cohort members benefit from executive mentors and executive coaches to help merge academic instruction with real-world applications.
Since TALI's inception, 154 professionals have completed one of its two leadership programs—the Executive Leadership Academy or Emerging Leaders Program. Of these 154 professionals, 104 are Executive Leadership Academy alumni. As of 2022, approximately 90% of Executive Leadership Academy alumni expressed personal and professional growth as a leader after completing a TALI program. Additionally, 87% of the 2019 and 96% of the 2020 alumni were promoted or assumed higher responsibilities within a 2-year period. Through the National Executive Leadership Academy, TALI will aim to maintain and build upon these successes.
"Since TALI's inception, all our participants have had an incredibly positive experience," says Haakan Jonsson, Chairman and President, Covestro; TALI Corporate CEO Council Member. "As a long-standing partner, we're thrilled to have the opportunity to offer this experience to our employees outside of the region through the national program."
"We are continuously inspired by our partnership with TALI. The Executive Leadership Academy reinforces our commitment to corporate diversity by allowing us to engage and retain Black talent," says Nicole Theophilus, EVP & CHRO, Wabtec Corporation; TALI CHRO Council Member.
"We are excited that our ongoing commitment to TALI has yielded such great results. This persistent effort to build diversity and inclusive leadership is an important key to our company's success," says Eric Boughner, Chairman of BNY Mellon Pennsylvania and Chair of the BNY Mellon Foundation of Southwestern Pennsylvania; TALI Vice Chair.

Great lunch recipes are in this Fareway cooking Segment
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG) -Whitney Hemmer shares two delicious wraps in this week’s Fareway Cooking Segment.
We have two different wraps today and the first one is a twist on the classic BLT. So, I still used tomato mayonnaise and bacon, but I changed up my lettuce to arugula. I also added avocado for some heart healthy fats and also for a nice creamy texture. Plus, when you put it in a wrap versus a sandwich, it changes it up just enough so you can use what you have on hand, but you’re not getting bored with using those same ingredients again.
Next, I have a bean and cheese wrap and the beauty of this one is really in its flexibility. This one is great if you really need that fast lunch or dinner. So for our protein and fiber source here we are using refried beans. I think refried beans are really underestimated. If you don’t want to use refried beans, you could use any canned bean that you like and just mash them down, but I make it easy here and just go with the prepared refried beans. Again, that is our protein and our fiber source. Add your favorite salsa or pico, which is where the majority of your flavor is going to come from, so make sure you are using one that you really enjoy. Also add some lettuce, shredded cheese and Greek yogurt, or sour cream. All of the ingredients here are kind of optional, and you can add them in the amounts that you or your kids want.
If you want to make the wrap ahead of time while meal prepping, always wrap it in some clear plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for a few days, and then you have lunch or dinner ready to go. If you want more recipes or any other information you can head to fairway.com.

‘Rocky Top’ singer Bobby Osborne dies at 91
HAZARD, Ky. (AP) — Bluegrass musician Bobby Osborne, who helped popularize the song “Rocky Top,” died early Tuesday, according to a statement from the college where he worked. He was 91.
Osborne and his brother Sonny made up “The Osborne Brothers,” and their version of the song “Rocky Top” in 1967 became an official state song of Tennessee, his website said. Osborne was a member of the Grand Ole Opry and the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame.
“To say he was a legend falls short of the impact he had on all of us,” said Paul Schiminger, interim executive director at the International Bluegrass Music Association. “An innovative musical pioneer, Bobby set and held the gold standard for bluegrass vocals.”
While Osborne and his brother will be remembered by many for the song “Rocky Top,” Schiminger said that barely scratches the surface of the many songs they recorded and performed.
A native of Hyden, Kentucky, Osborne taught at the Hazard Community and Technical College’s Kentucky School of Bluegrass and Traditional Music in Leslie County for several years.
In January, he received the Governor’s Awards in the Arts for his dedication to sharing Kentucky’s rich history in the arts around the world.
Osborne was still performing and teaching last year when he told WYMT-TV that “as long as I can open my mouth and sing, I ain’t going to quit.”
Hazard Community and Technical College President Jennifer Lindon said the school was deeply saddened to learn about Osborne’s death.
“He was a pioneer in the bluegrass music industry and a champion for Eastern Kentucky,” she said.

Got a voice filled with gloom?
The Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe want you to be front and center at this year’s 98th Annual Burning of Zozobra.
Follow in the footsteps of Zozobra voices of the past, which include Wyatt Davis, Harold Gans, Rod McNamara, Kenn Garley, Michael Ellis and Anthony Michaels-Moore.
Auditions will be held in person starting at 10 a.m. July 9, at the Scottish Rite Center, 463 Paseo de Peralta in Santa Fe.
“People come to Santa Fe from all over the world to witness the Burning of Zozobra,” says Ray Sandoval, Zozobra event chair. “Young or old, male or female, new to Zozobra or a seasoned fan, we can’t wait to find an amazing voice to bellow a scary growl and wicked laugh to make Santa Fe’s favorite monster come to life.”
According to Sandoval, the auditions are on a first-come, first-serve basis.
“If you are chosen as the voice of Zozobra, you will work with the Zozobra team to learn the flow of the pageant so that you’re able to work in sync with the animation team that makes Zozobra’s mouth move,” Sandoval says. “Kiwanis sends a Zozobra-sized THANK YOU to Anthony Michaels-Moore who generously stepped up to lend his voice to Zozobra during the two challenging years of the pandemic. It was an honor and a privilege to have his talent onsite as he gifted Zozobra with such wicked laughter.”
Sandoval says the Kiwanis is also hosting the National Anthem Competition for this year’s event.
In-person auditions will be held from 1-4 p.m. July 9, at the Scottish Rite Center, 463 Paseo de Peralta in Santa Fe.
Tryouts will also take place on a first-come, first-serve basis.
A first runner-up will be selected as an alternate and will be required to attend both the rehearsals and the event in case the National Anthem Singer should be unable to perform.
In addition, the first runner-up will be given the opportunity to sing the National Anthem at the 2022-23 New Year’s Eve on the Santa Fe Plaza. The Second-runner up will sing the National Anthem at the City of Santa Fe’s 2023 Fourth of July celebration.

Officials discussing security in case of Trump indictment
NEW YORK (AP) — Law enforcement officials in New York are making security preparations for the possibility that Donald Trump could be indicted in the coming weeks by a Manhattan grand jury and appear in a courtroom in an investigation examining hush money paid to women who alleged sexual encounters with the former president, four law enforcement officials said Friday.
There has been no public announcement of any timeframe for the grand jury’s secret work, including any potential vote on whether to indict the ex-president.
The law enforcement officials, who were not authorized to speak publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said authorities are just preparing in case of an indictment. They described the conversations as preliminary and are considering security, planning and the practicalities of a potential court appearance by a former president.
Trump’s lawyer, Joseph Tacopina, had no comment.
The grand jury has been hearing from witnesses including former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, who says he orchestrated payments in 2016 to two women to silence them about sexual encounters they said they had with Trump a decade earlier. Trump denies the encounters occurred, says he did nothing wrong and has cast the investigation as a “witch hunt” by a Democratic prosecutor bent on sabotaging the Republican’s 2024 presidential campaign.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office has apparently been examining whether any state laws were broken in connection with the payments or the way Trump’s company compensated Cohen for his work to keep the women’s allegations quiet. | 2023-03-17T21:31:09+00:00 | mynorthwest.com | https://mynorthwest.com/3859770/officials-discussing-security-in-case-of-trump-indictment/ |

If you want to step up your game this Thanksgiving, try making your own pie crust! This recipe results in the butteriest, flakiest crust, which is perfect for any kind of pie.
Ingredients
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
4 tablespoons ice cold water
Directions
In a medium deep mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the butter, and cut into the flour using a pastry blender, leaving large chunks of butter remaining. Stir in the water with a spatula until the dough starts to come together.
Shape the dough into a disk and chill in the fridge until firm and cold, at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days.
Let the dough sit at room temperature for up to 10 minutes, or until slightly pliable.
Roll the dough out on a generously floured work surface. Keep turning the dough after every roll to ensure it doesn’t stick to the counter and is of even thickness. Use your hands to cup the edges of the dough to keep it smooth and prevent cracks. Add additional flour to the dough, the counter, and your rolling pin as needed. Roll out into a 12 to 14-inch circle, depending on how deep your pie tin is.
Gently roll the dough up and around the rolling pin then unroll and drape over a 9-inch pie tin. Gently press into the pie tin, being careful to avoid stretching it to fit. Use scissors or a knife to trim the excess dough, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Fold the overhang under itself and crimp or flute.
Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
If the pie recipe calls for a prebaked shell, preheat the oven to 350°F. Line the chilled crust with foil pressed gently into the bottom and sides, leaving an overhang to protect the edges of the crust from burning.
Fill the crust with pie weights, rice, or dried beans. Place on a rimmed baking pan. Bake until cooked through and golden brown, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven, and carefully remove the foil and pie weights. If the bottom of the crust is too pale, return to the oven to brown for a few minutes longer. Let cool on a cooling rack. | 2022-11-01T15:30:11+00:00 | pahomepage.com | https://www.pahomepage.com/home-for-the-holidays/the-homemade-pie-crust-recipe-you-have-to-try/ |

(AP) - Apple appears poised to unveil a long-rumored headset that will place its users between the virtual and real world, while also testing the technology trendsetter’s ability to popularize new-fangled devices after others failed to capture the public’s imagination.
After years of speculation, the stage is set for the widely anticipated announcement to be made Monday at Apple’s annual developers conference in a Cupertino, California, theater named after the company’s late co-founder Steve Jobs. Apple is also likely to use the event to show off its latest Mac computer, preview the next operating system for the iPhone and discuss its strategy for artificial intelligence.
But the star of the show is expected to be a pair of goggles — perhaps called “Reality Pro,” according to media leaks — that could become another milestone in Apple’s lore of releasing game-changing technology, even though the company hasn’t always been the first to try its hand at making a particular device.
Apple’s lineage of breakthroughs date back to a bow-tied Jobs peddling the first Mac in 1984 —a tradition that continued with the iPod in 2001, the iPhone in 2007, the iPad in 2010, the Apple Watch in 2014 and its AirPods in 2016.
But with a hefty price tag that could be in the $3,000 range, Apple’s new headset may also be greeted with a lukewarm reception from all but affluent technophiles.
If the new device turns out to be a niche product, it would leave Apple in the same bind as other major tech companies and startups that have tried selling headsets or glasses equipped with technology that either thrusts people into artificial worlds or projects digital images with scenery and things that are actually in front of them — a format known as “augmented reality.”
Apple’s goggles are expected be sleekly designed and capable of toggling between totally virtual or augmented options, a blend sometimes known as “mixed reality.” That flexibility also is sometimes called external reality, or XR for shorthand.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has been describing these alternate three-dimensional realities as the “metaverse.” It’s a geeky concept that he tried to push into the mainstream by changing the name of his social networking company to Meta Platforms in 2021 and then pouring billions of dollars into improving the virtual technology.
But the metaverse largely remains a digital ghost town, although Meta’s virtual reality headset, the Quest, remains the top-selling device in a category that so far has mostly appealed to video game players looking for even more immersive experiences.
Apple executives seem likely to avoid referring to the metaverse, given the skepticism that has quickly developed around that term, when they discuss the potential of the company’s new headset.
In recent years, Apple CEO Tim Cook has periodically touted augmented reality as technology’s next quantum leap, while not setting a specific timeline for when it will gain mass appeal.
“If you look back in a point in time, you know, zoom out to the future and look back, you’ll wonder how you led your life without augmented reality,” Cook, who is 62, said last September while speaking to an audience of students in Italy. “Just like today you wonder how did people like me grow up without the internet. You know, so I think it could be that profound. And it’s not going to be profound overnight.”
The response to virtual, augmented and mixed reality has been decidedly ho-hum so far. Some of the gadgets deploying the technology have even been derisively mocked, with the most notable example being Google’s internet-connected glasses released more than a decade ago.
After Google co-founder Sergey Brin initially drummed up excitement about the device by demonstrating an early model’s potential “wow factor” with a skydiving stunt staged during a San Francisco tech conference, consumers quickly became turned off to a product that allowed its users to surreptitiously take pictures and video. The backlash became so intense that people who wore the gear became known as “Glassholes,” leading Google to withdraw the product a few years after its debut.
Microsoft also has had limited success with HoloLens, a mixed-reality headset released in 2016, although the software maker earlier this year insisted it remains committed to the technology.
Magic Leap, a startup that stirred excitement with previews of a mixed-reality technology that could conjure the spectacle of a whale breaching through a gymnasium floor, had so much trouble marketing its first headset to consumers in 2018 that it has since shifted its focus to industrial, healthcare and emergency uses.
Daniel Diez, Magic Leap’s chief transformation officer, said there are four major questions Apple’s goggles will have to answer: “What can people do with it? What does this thing look and feel like? Is it comfortable to wear? And how much is it going to cost?”
The anticipation that Apple’s goggles are going to sell for several thousand dollars already has dampened expectations for the product. Although he expects Apple’s goggles to boast “jaw dropping” technology, Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives said he expects the company to sell just 150,000 units during the device’s first year on the market — a mere speck in the company’s portfolio. By comparison, Apple sells more than 200 million iPhones, its marquee product a year. But the iPhone wasn’t an immediate sensation, with sales of fewer than 12 million units in its first full year on the market.
In a move apparently aimed at magnifying the expected price of Apple’s goggles, Zuckerberg made a point of saying last week that the next Quest headset will sell for $500, an announcement made four months before Meta Platform plans to showcase the latest device at its tech conference.
Since 2016, the average annual shipments of virtual- and augmented-reality devices have averaged 8.6 million units, according to the research firm CCS Insight. The firm expects sales to remain sluggish this year, with a sales projection of about 11 million of the devices before gradually climbing to 67 million in 2026.
But those forecasts were obviously made before it’s known whether Apple might be releasing a product that alters the landscape.
“I would never count out Apple, especially with the consumer market and especially when it comes to finding those killer applications and solutions,” Magic Leap’s Diez said. “If someone is going to crack the consumer market early, I wouldn’t be surprised it would be Apple.”

CEDAR FALLS — For the first time in four years, twins Baylee and Sydney Petersen will hit the court wearing the same colors.
However, this time their mother, Northern Iowa head volleyball coach Bobbi Petersen, will be their coach.
“It is really cool,” Bobbie said. “It is a very unique opportunity—especially when you thought it would not be an opportunity…It is an awesome opportunity.”
The duo led the Dike-New Hartford volleyball team to three state titles in 2014, 2016 and 2017 before starting their collegiate volleyball careers albeit at different schools.
Sydney left behind the cornfields of Iowa for a chance to play at a national volleyball powerhouse, the University of Texas, where she played in one NCAA Final Four. Meanwhile, Baylee made the decision to stay close to home and play at UNI for Bobbi.

Yet, after four years with the Longhorns, Sydney made the decision to return home and join the Panthers for her final year of eligibility.
“At Texas, I was kind of homesick,” Sydney said. “Now that I get to be back here—kind of in my hometown—it is just amazing to be back.”
Sydney previously told The Courier that she did not originally plan to use her last year of eligibility nor did she immediately choose UNI once she entered the transfer portal.
However, since choosing to return to the Cedar Valley, Sydney said she does not regret the path she took.
“I have really loved my decision,” Sydney said. “I am glad I made it. I was not going to, but I am glad I chose to play volleyball again—especially at this amazing school.”
Knowing her sister planned to explore her options in the transfer portal, Baylee said she did not anticipate Sydney would become a Panther at first.
“I was really excited,” Baylee said. “I did not know she was coming back right when she entered the portal. But, after I talked to her, I knew she was planning on coming back. I am super excited, super excited for my last season to play with her.”
Although Sydney’s transfer did not happen automatically, Baylee said her sister fits in seamlessly in the purple and gold.
“I feel like she has always had that [UNI volleyball player] attitude growing up here,” Baylee said. “It is a lot different than down in Texas. She has been here all summer and she got to go overseas with us so she has become really close with the team too.”
With Sydney back in Cedar Falls, the trio sits less than a week away from the start of their first and final season together.
According to Bobbi, the Panthers are the ‘right group to accept’ Sydney’s decision to join the team which she said helps her enjoy the opportunity.
“I am looking forward to this group as a whole,” Bobbi said. “So, it makes the time that I get to have on the court with Baylee and Sydney extra special. I probably need to do a better job embracing what it is. You just try to ‘Okay, just go on to the next thing, but—no—this is a unique experience. Make sure you enjoy that opportunity.’”
With the 2022 season marking their final collegiate season, Baylee and Sydney also pointed to the team, in addition to playing with their twin sister, as their cause for excitement.
“We went through it all in high school,” Baylee said. “I have not played with her in four years…I am really excited to go through it with this whole team.”
“It has been amazing to be playing with Baylee again,” Sydney said. “I have played with a lot of these girls before…This team is so special. To be able to be coached by my mom has been awesome to.”
Sydney also added that playing for the Panthers helps her accomplish another one of her dreams when the Panthers host Western Michigan in the UNI Tournament on September 9.
“I am so excited,” Sydney said. “I have goose bumps. It has always been a dream of mine to play in the McLeod Center. I have watched tons of games in here—never played one.” | 2022-08-21T11:30:28+00:00 | wcfcourier.com | https://wcfcourier.com/sports/college/uni/volleyball/keeping-up-with-the-petersens-trio-excited-for-first-final-season-together/article_46921172-5107-58c8-95f1-d3af4c61777e.html |
BERLIN (AP) — Authorities in Norway have euthanized a walrus that had drawn crowds of spectators in the Oslo Fjord after concluding that it posed a risk to humans.
The 600-kilogram (1,320-pound) female walrus, known affectionately as Freya, became a popular attraction in Norway in recent weeks, despite warnings from officials that people should refrain from getting close and posing for pictures with the massive marine mammal. Freya liked to clamber on small boats, causing damage to them.
Walruses are protected and as recently as last month officials said they hoped Freya would leave of her own accord and that euthanasia would be a last resort.
Norway’s Directorate of Fisheries said Freya was put down early Sunday “based on an overall assessment of the continued threat to human safety.”
“Through on-site observations the past week, it was made clear that the public has disregarded the current recommendation to keep a clear distance to the walrus,” it said. “Therefore, the Directorate has concluded, the possibility for potential harm to people was high and animal welfare was not being maintained.”
The head of the directorate, Frank Bakke-Jensen, said other options — including moving the animal elsewhere — were considered. But authorities concluded it wasn’t a viable option.
“We have sympathies for the fact that the decision can cause a reaction from the public, but I am firm that this was the right call,” Bakke-Jensen said. “We have great regard for animal welfare, but human life and safety must take precedence.”
Atlantic walruses normally live in the Arctic. It is unusual but not unheard of for them to travel into the North and Baltic Seas. Another walrus, nicknamed Wally, was seen last year on beaches and even a lifeboat dock in Wales and elsewhere. | 2022-08-14T22:06:26+00:00 | everythinglubbock.com | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/national/norway-puts-down-freya-the-walrus-that-drew-crowds/ |
Federal prosecutors: Man who threatened to kill CDC head pleads guilty to charges
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A Mississippi man who threatened to kill Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky has pleaded guilty to making threats in interstate commerce, federal prosecutors announced Monday.
Robert Wiser Bates, 39, of Ridgeland, threatened to kill Walensky in voicemails left in July 2021 at the CDC headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, court records said.
Bates admitted to making the threatening calls in an interview with agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, according to a news release from office the U.S. Attorney Darren J. LaMarca. He also said he would kill Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and chief medical adviser to the president.
In August, a West Virginia man was sentenced to three years in federal prison after he sent emails threatening Fauci and another federal health official for talking about the coronavirus and efforts to prevent its spread.
Bates is scheduled to be sentenced on March 7. He faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Bates’ attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

NEW YORK (AP) — For years, Miguel and Carlos Cevallos made a living by drawing posters for neighborhood nightclubs, taco trucks and restaurants in Queens, painting in the businesses’ basements or on their tables and attracting clients by word of mouth.
Until an Instagram account changed a lot of that.
Now, hip Brooklyn ice cream shops and Manhattan retro diners wait their turn to get one of the brothers’ colorful signs. They’re in demand in San Francisco music stores, national restaurant chains, bars in Belgium and bakeries in South Korea.
It doesn’t matter that the brothers are more than 80 years old or that the two, born in Ecuador and raised in Colombia, speak limited English. They have embraced their new customers and draw all day in the Manhattan apartment they have shared for nearly 20 years.
“Destiny is like this. Sometimes one finds success later in life,” Carlos Cevallos said recently, while sipping a tea in an empty Manhattan diner. Dressed in suits and ties, as they are every day, the brothers shared a muffin.
Recent commissions have come from a bagel shop in Manhattan’s Little Italy neighborhood, a newsstand in Manhattan’s West Village, an Oregon-based restaurant chain and a Los Angeles pop-up veggie burger shop. NYCgo, the city’s official guide for tourists and New Yorkers, recently asked the brothers to draw Queens’ iconic Unisphere, the giant metal globe built for the 1964 World’s Fair.
“They have a special touch, so nice and colorful,” said Marina Cortes, manager of the West Village diner La Bonbonniere. The brothers’ “Breakfast All Day!” sign is displayed on the restaurant’s terrace.
“A Life Without Anything Good, Is Bad” reads a poster the brothers drew for Van Leeuwen Ice Cream. “Daily Special. Pick Any Two Sandwiches and Pay For Both!” reads another they did for Regina’s Grocery on Manhattan’s Lower East Side.
Done with acrylic paints, the Cevallos brothers’ playful, childlike posters have big letters and a nostalgic look. Miguel does the drawings and Carlos the coloring, together crafting about six posters per week.
The brothers field five to 20 requests weekly for their work.
The family moved from Ecuador to Colombia to follow an uncle who was a Catholic priest and worked in Bogota. Used to drawing since they were kids, Carlos, Miguel and their oldest brother, Victor, opened an art studio and poster shop in Bogota’s Chapinero neighborhood.
Victor moved to New York in 1969, and Carlos joined him in 1974. For years, they worked at a studio in Times Square until rent increases prompted a shift to Queens.
In the 1980s, they drew posters that announced performances at a Queens club called La Esmeralda.
“They would pay so little per poster. It was sad,” Carlos said. The posters featured such artists as Mexican singer Armando Manzanero and Chilean Lucho Gatica.
Miguel, meanwhile, took care of their mother until she died at age 101. He moved to New York in 2005 to join his siblings. Victor, a mentor to his younger brothers, died in 2012.
Eventually, Aviram Cohen, who builds and installs audiovisual art at museums, saw the brothers’ posters in Queens and tracked them down to request one for his wife’s new yoga studio. In 2018, he opened their Instagram account, @cevallos_bros, which became a lifeline for the brothers after the coronavirus pandemic hit.
“I did it out of admiration for their work, and after meeting them, I understood that it would all disappear. Most of the businesses would throw away the posters,” said Cohen, 42. “I felt strongly that different kinds of people and subcultures could enjoy their art.”
He was right. The account now has more than 25,000 followers and has become an archive of their work, as well as a source of orders.
“I just love their story,” said Happy David, who manages the Instagram accounts of La Bonbonniere and Casa Magazines, a Manhattan newsstand for which she has also commissioned the brothers’ work. It reminds her of signs seen in her native Philippines.
In a digital world, “a lot of people are going back to craft,” David said. “We want to connect, and we want to feel that there are hands that made these.”
When asked whether they plan to retire soon, the Cevallos brothers answer with a quick “no.”
Where do they get their energy from?
“We eat healthy,” they respond with a smile. | 2022-09-03T15:10:14+00:00 | seattletimes.com | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/octogenarian-brothers-make-popular-hand-drawn-posters-2/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world |
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Economists are baffled by a wider-than-usual divergence between long-term mortgage rates and the yield on the benchmark U.S. government bond that is driving a sharp rise in borrowing costs and helping to torpedo the U.S. housing market this year.

The gap, or spread, between the 10-year Treasury yield and the average rate on a 30-year mortgage widened this year as inflation hit the highest level in decades and the Fed began raising interest rates and taking other steps aimed at taming surging prices.
This spread has historically averaged around 170 basis points a month, but between March and October it averaged about 240 basis points, according to Federal Reserve data. In October, the spread widened to 292 points, the biggest monthly gap since August 1986.
“The spread between the 10-year Treasury and the mortgage rate is exceptionally wide, abnormal,” Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors said last week. “If we had a narrowing, or say, a normal spread condition, today’s mortgage rate could be 5.7%.”

Mike Fratantoni, chief economist at the Mortgage Bankers Association, agreed: “One of the more puzzling aspects of the current environment has been the extremely wide spread of mortgage rates relative to Treasury rates."
Rates for 30-year mortgages usually track the moves in the 10-year Treasury yield, which lenders use as a guide to pricing loans. Investors’ expectations for future inflation, global demand for U.S. Treasurys and what the Federal Reserve does with interest rates can also influence the cost of borrowing for a home.
In the first week of January, when the 10-year Treasury yield averaged 1.77% and the rate on a 30-year mortgage averaged 3.22%, the spread was 145 basis points.
In the months that followed, as bond yields shot upward and mortgage rates doubled from 2021 levels, that spread increased. Last week, it was 252 basis-points wide as the 10-year Treasury yield averaged 3.75%, while the 30-year home loan rate averaged 6.27%.

And as recently as the second week of November, the spread swelled to 326 basis points as the weekly average on a 30-year mortgage climbed to a 20-year high of 7.08%.
The spread between mortgage rates and the 10-year Treasury yield has widened sharply in the past, generally in periods preceding or coinciding with recessions, as in 2000-2001 and 2008-2009, said George Ratiu, manager of economic research at Realtor.com.
Several factors are driving the wider-than-normal spread. Inflation and the Fed's wave of rate hikes has pushed up costs for banks, which are then passed along to borrowers with higher rates.
Earlier this year, the Fed also began reducing its holdings of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities, or MBS.

”What that means, practically, is there’s less money in the lending market to actually reach consumers," Ratiu said. "That also has an upward effect on mortgage rates.” | 2022-12-29T19:45:59+00:00 | seattlepi.com | https://www.seattlepi.com/business/article/Mortgage-rates-rise-has-led-to-wide-gap-with-US-17683641.php |

Japan votes in key election in shadow of Abe assassination
TOKYO (AP) — Japanese have voted in the shadow of the assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe that brought heightened security as party leaders avoided mingling with crowds and delivered messages of upholding democracy and free speech. Exit polls for Sunday's election for the parliament’s upper house showed Abe’s governing party certain to win a major victory, propelled by what is seen as a wave of sympathy votes in a country still reeling from the shock of Friday’s brazen shooting. On Sunday, police in western Japan sent the alleged assassin to a local prosecutors’ office for further investigation. A top regional police official has acknowledged possible security lapses that allowed the attacker to get so close and fire a bullet at the still-influential former Japanese leader.
Sri Lanka opposition meets to install new gov't amid turmoil
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lanka’s opposition political parties are meeting to install a new government a day after the president and prime minister offered to resign in the most dramatic day of monthslong political turmoil. Protesters stormed both officials’ homes Saturday and set fire to one of the buildings in a rage over the economic crisis. Crowds remained on the premises, splashing in the pool and lounging on beds. An opposition lawmaker says all opposition parties combined could easily muster the 113 members needed for a majority in Parliament, at which point they will request President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to install the new government and then resign. Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said he will leave office once a new government is in place.

President and PM: 2 men at heart of Sri Lankan crisis
NEW DELHI (AP) — As Sri Lanka’s crisis reached its climax this weekend, two men in the center of the turmoil brought about by the country’s economic collapse promised they would heed the call of tens of thousands of angry protesters and resign. One is President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, the last of six members of the country’s most influential family who was still clinging to power. The other is Rajapaksa’s chosen prime minister, Ranil Wickremesinghe, a seasoned opposition politician who was brought in to steer the country out of the abyss. On Saturday, after massive crowds descended on the capital, Colombo, and occupied both leaders' compounds, they agreed to step down. Rajapaksa, whose whereabouts are unknown, said he would leave office on Wednesday.
In Mideast, Biden struggling to shift policy after Trump
WASHINGTON (AP) — Joe Biden took office looking to reshape U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. But so far, he’s struggled to separate his approach from Donald Trump's. Biden is set to visit Israel and Saudi Arabia this coming week. As a candidate, Biden condemned the Trump administration’s policy on Israeli settlements in the West Bank. As president, Biden has been unable to pressure the Israelis to halt the building of Jewish settlements. Biden will meet with Saudi Arabia’s King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who U.S. intelligence officials say approved the killing of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Trump largely overlooked the kingdom’s human rights record and stepped up military sales.
Ukraine: 15 dead in rocket attack on apartment building
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — At least 15 people were killed when a Russian rocket hit an apartment building in the eastern Ukraine town of Chasiv Yar and more than 20 people may still be trapped in the rubble, officials say. The Saturday night rocket assault is the latest in a recent burst of high-casualty attacks on civilian structures. At least 19 people died when a Russian missile hit a shopping mall in the city of Kremenchuk in late June and 21 people were killed when an apartment building and recreation area came under rocket fire in the southern Odesa region this month. Russia has repeatedly claimed that it is hitting only targets of military value in the war. There was no comment on Chasiv Yar at a Russian Defense Ministry briefing on Sunday.
Anxiety grows for Ukraine's grain farmers as harvest begins
ZHURIVKA, Ukraine (AP) — An estimated 22 million tons of grain are blocked in Ukraine, and pressure is growing as the new harvest begins. The country usually delivers about 30% of its grain to Europe, 30% to North Africa and 40% to Asia. But with the ongoing Russian naval blockade of Ukrainian Black Sea ports, millions of tons of last year’s harvest still can’t reach their destinations. One local expert says that without opening the Black Sea ports, he doesn't see any solution for Ukrainian farmers to survive. That would lead to disruptions of the world's food supply, especially for developing countries in Africa.
Crypto plunge is cautionary tale for public pension funds
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The plunge in prices for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies provides a cautionary tale for the handful of public pension funds that have dipped their toes into the crypto pool. Most have done it indirectly through stocks or investment funds that serve as proxies for the larger crypto market, though a pension fund for Houston firefighters last year directly bought bitcoin and other digital currency. A lack of transparency makes it difficult to tell whether they’ve made or lost money. Not only are pension funds exposed to risks in the crypto world, so are taxpayers who potentially could have to bail them out.
Iran enriches to 20% with new centrifuges at fortified site
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran says it has begun enriching uranium up to 20% using sophisticated centrifuges at its underground Fordo nuclear plant, state TV reported, an escalation that comes amid a standoff with the West over its tattered atomic deal. Tehran’s 2015 nuclear agreement with world powers had called for Fordo to become a research-and-development facility and restricted centrifuges there to non-nuclear uses. The International Atomic Energy Agency said it had verified Iran was using a set-up that allowed it to more swiftly and easily switch between enrichment levels. The announcement on Sunday deals yet another blow to the already slim chances of reviving the nuclear deal. The talks have been at a standstill for months.
Abe's killing haunts Japan with questions on handmade guns
TOKYO (AP) — The assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has sent shudders through low-crime, orderly Japan. The 16-inch-long handmade gun confiscated from the suspect looked crude, more like a propellant made of pipes taped together and filled with explosives. A raid of his home turned up several such guns. Homemade weapons are more difficult to trace and rarely used in Japan, where most attacks involve stabbings, dousing a place with gasoline and setting it ablaze, or running haywire on the street in a vehicle. Police say strict gun control laws likely made the suspect choose a handcrafted weapon. Experts agree there were obvious lapses in Abe's security and say his guards were caught asleep while others say they became complacent in a generally peaceful nation.
Dire US labor shortage provides opportunity for ex-prisoners
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The United States' ongoing labor shortage is bad for employers but presents an opportunity for workers who often could not find jobs in rosier economic times: ex-prisoners. Special training programs in Mississippi and other states are now trying to fill some of the 11.3 million open jobs in the U.S. through “second-chance hiring” — the practice of employing people with a criminal record. Studies have shown that stable jobs are a major factor in reducing recidivism. In a 2021 survey, 53% of human resource professionals said they would be willing to hire people with criminal records — up from just 37% in 2018. | 2022-07-10T14:47:09+00:00 | wcfcourier.com | https://wcfcourier.com/news/national/ap-news-summary-at-10-25-a-m-edt/article_6efc3f74-5334-5054-be5a-7785bb8ed987.html |
Maryland political aide died after 2 gunshot wounds, one self-inflicted
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — A former Maryland political aide who failed to appear for his trial on federal corruption charges died after suffering two gunshot wounds — one of them self-inflicted — as FBI agents closed in on him in Tennessee, according to an autopsy report made public Friday.
Authorities said agents acted in self-defense, and there will be no charges against any of the agents involved.
Roy McGrath died on April 4 near Knoxville, Tennessee, after he failed to appear at Baltimore’s federal courthouse for his March 13 trial.
“One of the gunshot wounds was self-inflicted and the other gunshot wound was not; however due to a prolonged survival interval after sustaining the wounds and ultimately dying in the hospital, it cannot be determined which gunshot wound killed him, and therefore the cause of death is ‘gunshot wounds of the head’ and manner of death is ‘could not be determined,’” the autopsy report said.
Knox County District Attorney General Charme Allen said in a news release that the agent who shot McGrath was acting in self-defense.
“In this case, it is clear that agents had probable cause and a reasonable belief that McGrath posed a threat of imminent death or serious bodily injury,” Allen’s office said in the release.
The news release also provided details about what happened leading up to the FBI agents closing in on McGrath. FBI agents in Baltimore asked if Knoxville agents could arrest McGrath, and they provided a copy of the warrant, a description of McGrath’s vehicle, and information about McGrath’s location.
When agents responded, they found McGrath’s vehicle and attempted to conduct a traffic stop when the vehicle left a parking lot, according to the release. Despite the lights and sirens of the agents’ vehicles, McGrath continued to drive until he was boxed in between two other businesses.
Agents approached the vehicle and repeatedly announced, “FBI,” and ordered McGrath to put his hands out the open driver’s side window, the release said, but McGrath replied, “No,” and, “I have a gun, and it’s loaded.”
Agents saw McGrath with a handgun raised to his right temple, and the way McGrath held the handgun placed agents within the trajectory of McGrath’s gun, causing one agent to believe McGrath posed a threat of imminent death or serious bodily injury to himself and other agents, the release said.
“Simultaneously, McGrath fired his gun striking his right temple, and the agent fired one round striking McGrath’s left cheek. Agents immediately called for an ambulance. EMTs arrived and transported McGrath to the University of Tennessee Medical Center where he was pronounced dead thirty minutes later,” the release said.
McGrath, 53, served as chief of staff to former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan. He was declared a wanted fugitive after his disappearance.
After McGrath failed to appear at Baltimore’s federal courthouse on March 13, his attorney said he believed McGrath, who had moved to Naples, Florida, was planning to fly to Maryland the night before. Instead of beginning jury selection, a judge issued an arrest warrant and dismissed prospective jurors.
McGrath was indicted in 2021 on accusations he fraudulently secured a $233,648 severance payment, equal to one year of salary as the head of Maryland Environmental Service, by falsely telling the agency’s board the governor had approved it. He was also accused of fraud and embezzlement connected to roughly $170,000 in expenses. McGrath pleaded not guilty.
McGrath resigned just 11 weeks into the job as Hogan’s chief of staff in 2020 after the payments became public.
A superseding indictment in June 2022 added falsification of records to the wire fraud and theft charges, according to the Justice Department. According to that indictment, McGrath created a fake memo from Hogan that approved McGrath’s severance pay from the environmental service.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — The water was rising around her car, and Amanda Valentine thought she was going to die. She had just gotten a warning on her phone about flash flooding, and now it was all around her.
“I called my parents like, ‘I’m going to die. Like I’m going to drown. There’s no way for me to get out of this car,’” Valentine said. “And they couldn’t help me. I called 911, and they told me they couldn’t help me.”
She eventually forced the door open and got to safety.
Parts of South Florida began cleaning up Thursday after the unprecedented storm that trapped Valentine and other motorists dumped upward of 2 feet (60 centimeters) of rain in a matter of hours, caused widespread flooding, closed a key airport and turned thoroughfares into rivers. There were no immediate reports of injuries or deaths.
Residents still waded through knee-high water or used canoes and kayaks to navigate the streets Thursday in Fort Lauderdale's Edgewood neighborhood, where window screen installer Dennis Vasquez towed some of his neighbor’s belongings on an inflatable mattress to a car on dry land. He himself lost all of his possessions when water rose chest-high in his house Wednesday night.
“Everything, it’s gone,” he said in Spanish. “But I will replace it.”
In Broward County, where rains started Monday before the heaviest rains arrived Wednesday afternoon, crews worked Thursday to clear drains and fire up pumps to clear standing water.
Fort Lauderdale issued a state of emergency as flooding persisted in parts of the city. Crews worked through the night to attend rescue calls. Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport, which closed Wednesday evening, said it would not reopen until 5 a.m. Friday because of debris and flooding.
Enough water had drained by early Thursday to allow people to drive on the upper level — or departures — road to pick up waiting passengers. But the entrance to the lower-level, or arrivals, road remained closed.
Broward County schools canceled classes Thursday, including after-school and extracurricular activities, after water flooded hallways and classrooms at some schools. Service was restored on South Florida’s high-speed commuter rail, Brightline, after it briefly shut down Wednesday evening.
The Red Cross set up a staging area to help residents whose homes were flooded, providing them with blankets and coffee, officials said.
Fort Lauderdale City Hall remained closed Thursday with ground-floor flooding and no power. A tunnel carrying U.S. Route 1 under a river and a major street in downtown Fort Lauderdale was also closed, along with some ramps to Interstate 95.
Tow truck driver Keith Hickman said he saw abandoned cars “floating like boats” in the streets of Fort Lauderdale.
“There were hundreds of cars up and down here,” he said. “It was unbelievable. I have never seen cars bumper-boating each other and floating. And a truck would come by and the wake would push the cars into the other cars and they were just floating. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
In the Sistrunk neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale, 74-year-old Bobbie Ponder hiked up her dress to push her bicycle the last block to Ray’s Market to get a money order for her internet bill, only find it flooded and closed. Bags of potato chips and Cheetos floated in a foot of water as workers tried to clean up.
Ponder, who lives in a third-floor apartment, said she didn't think the flooding would be that bad until she tried to ride her bike. She was trying to keep the flooding in perspective, comparing it against tornadoes that recently hit other states, killing dozens of people.
“We are blessed — a lot of them died,” she said.
In the Edgewood neighborhood, Christopher Alfonso and Tony Mandico, neighbors for 50 years, said their homes are likely total losses.
“That storm ... just poured down on us for hours and hours and hours,” Alfonso said. Pointing to the tightly packed homes with tiny yards, he said, “All this asphalt, concrete, no grass — there was no place for (the water) to go.”
Both said the area never severely flooded until a sanitary sewer system replaced septic tanks 10 years ago, making some streets higher than others and channeling rain onto lower roads.
Shawn Bhatti, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Miami, said the region received “an unprecedented amount” of rain. The weather service was still confirming totals, but some gauges showed up to 25 inches (63.5 centimeters) of rainfall.
“For context, within a six-hour period the amount that fell is about a 1 in 1,000 chance of happening within a given year,” Bhatti said. “So it’s a very historical type of event.”

PARIS (AP) — Striker Gaetan Laborde scored the winner as Nice beat Lille 1-0 to end the northern side’s six-game unbeaten run in the French league on Sunday.
Laborde netted in the 34th minute after Hicham Bouanani intercepted a poor back pass and set him up for a first-time finish. Lille had not lost in the league since Oct. 30.
Later Sunday, league leader Paris Saint-Germain was looking to move five points clear at the top with a home win against mid-table Brest, and Corsican side Ajaccio hosted Lyon.

Dutch forward Thijs Dallinga scored twice for Toulouse in a 2-1 win at struggling Strasbourg.
Veteran striker Kevin Gameiro put the Alsace side ahead in the 20th, but Dallinga equalized for Toulouse five minutes later and struck again early in the second half.
Strikers Jérémy Le Douaron and Steve Mounie scored first-half goals for Brest in a 4-0 home win against bottom side Angers. Midfielders Franck Honorat and Pierre Lees-Melou scored after the break.
English forward Stephy Mavididi scored both goals as Montpellier got a much-needed 2-0 win at 19th-place Auxerre to move away from relegation trouble, and Clermont drew 0-0 at home to Nantes.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (10) runs with the ball as Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Mike Danna and defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton (98) defend during the first half of a preseason game Thursday in Kansas City, Mo.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Patrick Mahomes walked onto the field for a poignant penalty, then the Chiefs and Packers rested most of their starters in their preseason finale Thursday night, which Kansas City won 17-10 behind two touchdown passes from Shane Buechele.
The third-stringer outplayed longtime Chiefs backup Chad Henne, throwing for 166 yards with both of his scoring strikes to journeyman tight end Matt Bushman, who later left with a shoulder injury and did not return.
The Packers' Jordan Love threw for 148 yards with an interception in his final work before Aaron Rodgers takes over for the regular season. Trent Goodson ran for 28 yards and a score as he tries to win the No. 3 running back job for Green Bay.
The lasting memory Thursday night wasn't the score or a play, though, but Mahomes' penalty.
It came after the first-team Chiefs defense forced the Packers, playing their starting offensive line with Love and a host of backups, to a 3-and-out to start the game. Mahomes headed onto the field with most of Kansas City's starting offense and lined them up in a choir huddle — the old-fashioned style favored by Hall of Fame quarterback Len Dawson.
Mahomes allowed the clock to run out but the delay-of-game penalty was announced not on his No. 15 but on No. 16, the number that Dawson wore during his playing days. It was among the many tributes to the Chiefs icon and longtime NFL broadcaster, who died this week at the age of 87.
“Obviously, we’re praying for his family,” Mahomes said, “but he did so much to impact the Kansas City community and this organization. We wanted to do something, a little token to show our appreciation."
Mahomes, who had an excellent first two preseason games, never took a snap before joining Travis Kelce and other Chiefs stars on the sideline. Other starters, such as running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, were done after a couple of snaps.
Most of the work went to those competing for the last few jobs, which must be decided before Tuesday's deadline for teams to cut rosters to 53 players. Isaih Pacheco capped a strong rookie camp for Kansas City with 52 yards rushing, while veteran Ronald Jones ran for 43 yards in his last-ditch effort at securing a job.
The Packers were also sifting through the last couple of jobs, including the running back spot behind Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon. Goodson got the bulk of the work as he tries to beat out Patrick Taylor and Dexter Williams for the job.
INJURIES
Packers: WR Christian Watson (knee surgery) did not play, which means the 34th overall pick in the draft will go into the season without any NFL game action. ... S Innis Gaines and TE Alize Mack left with hamstring injuries.
Chiefs: CB Trent McDuffie, one of the Kansas City's two first-round picks, was placed in the concussion protocol in the first quarter. ... WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) caught passes from Mahomes during pregame warmups, a sign he could be ready for Week 1. Smith-Schuster has missed more than a week of practice.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A volunteer police officer responding to a report of a bee swarm was hospitalized after getting stung multiple times on his face and collapsing onto the street in a Los Angeles neighborhood.
A TV news helicopter recorded dramatic video of the attack Monday afternoon in the Encino area as the man flailed around while trying to swat the bees away. He tripped and fell, hitting his head on the ground.
The uniformed volunteer officer was treated for a fractured eye socket and bee stings to his face and eyes, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement Tuesday. He was in stable condition, the statement said.
The officer and his partner were assisting with traffic control when the attack occurred, police said.
A professional bee-removal service was called to the neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley northwest of downtown LA, the city's fire department said. | 2023-05-17T21:34:40+00:00 | daytondailynews.com | https://www.daytondailynews.com/nation-world/volunteer-police-officer-hospitalized-after-getting-stung-on-face-during-los-angeles-bee-swarm/DL26W7UC55BI7IKU4NOASNNL4E/ |
Raymond supplies offense as Red Wings down Minnesota 2-1
Detroit - Lucas Raymond was going to score goals, you figured it would simply be a matter of time.
From the Red Wings' perspective Saturday, it couldn't have come at a better time.
Raymond scored both goals as the Wings defeated the Minnesota Wild 2-1 and ended a brief two-game losing streak (4-2-2).
Raymond's second goal, on the power play, broke a 1-1 tie with five seconds left in the second period. Dominik Kubalik found Raymond open near the post and Raymond knocked the puck, along with goaltender Filip Gustavsson, into the net to give the Wings the lead.
BOX SCORE: Red Wings 2, Wild 1
Kirill Kaprizov opened the scoring just 1:28 into the game for the Wild (3-4-1), his fifth goal, finishing a two-on-one rush on goaltender Ville Husso (30 saves).
Raymond's first goal tied the score 1-1 at 16:51. Adam Erne, elevated to the top line with injuries and Michael Rasmussen's two-game suspension decimating the lineup, made a nice play in the corner to control the puck and found Raymond skating through the slot.
Raymond outwaited Gustavsson and snapped a shot under the bar, snapping a seven-game goal-less streak.

BANGKOK (AP) — Shares advanced in Europe and Asia on Wednesday after Wall Street rallied to its best day in more than three weeks as companies reported strong profits for the past quarter.
Germany’s DAX edged 0.1% higher to 13,318.21 while the CAC 40 in Paris also gained 0.1% to 6,210.15. Britain’s FTSE 100 added 0.3% to 7,317.04. On Wall Street, the futures for the S&P 500 and the Dow industrials were 0.2% higher.
On Tuesday, the S&P 500 climbed 2.8% while the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 2.4%. The Nasdaq roared 3.1% higher while the Russell 2000 surged 3.5%.
“The bear market rally looks well and truly back on track this week,” Jeffrey Halley of Oanda said in a commentary.
Investors are watching for signs that decades-high inflation may be peaking, he said, as major central bank meet and companies release another batch of corporate earnings.
The European Central Bank is expected to raise interest rates on Thursday for the first time in 11 years in hopes of knocking down high inflation.
Japan’s central bank also meets this week but is not expected to make any major policy changes.
China’s central bank kept its loan prime rate steady on Wednesday despite the latest data showing a significant slowdown in growth in the past quarter, when pandemic-related shutdowns in many cities idled businesses and other activity.
“This comes as economic reopening continues to take place albeit at a slower pace, potentially leading to some near-term wait-and-see on economic progress before delivering further cuts ahead,” Jun Rong Yeap of IG said in a commentary.
The Federal Reserve has already raised rates three times this year, and by increasing amounts each time. It will announce its next increase next week, and the only question among investors is whether it will go with another increase of 0.75 percentage points or a colossal hike of a full point.
Stocks have sagged this year on worries about rising interest rates and high inflation. Strong earnings would provide a major support for markets. But if CEOs warn about troubles ahead, another tumble may be on the way.
Tesla was among the companies due to release quarterly earnings on Wednesday.
In Asia, Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 jumped 2.7% to 27,680.26, while the Hang Seng in Hong Kong gained 1.1% to 20,890.22. In Seoul, the Kospi added 0.7% to 2,386.85. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 climbed 1.7% to 6,759.20, while the Shanghai Composite index rose 0.8% to 3,304.72.

(NEXSTAR) – After weeks of holiday treats, feasts and libations, some swear off alcohol entirely to start the year, a military march into 31 days of sobriety known as dry January. But what is a “damp” January?
“Well, damp January just means it’s a little less severe of an approach,” Shara Turner, an addiction expert and clinical director of Sabina Recovery in Tucson, Ariz., told Nexstar’s WOWK. “Maybe just cutting back a little bit, maybe just drinking on the weekends, just not completely going dry.”
While experts say cutting back on alcohol can have a number of health benefits, Turner adds that it’s important to look at one’s motivations when it comes to the monthlong challenge.
“If you’re considering leaving alcohol behind there might be a deeper issue or problem, and I always like to think that if you can’t go a whole month without an alcoholic drink there just might be another issue you need to look at,” Turner said. “I would certainly give it a shot, if it doesn’t work out and you’re having a hard time even cutting down, again that’s just a really big opportunity for you to look at some of your habits and maybe seek out help.”
Heavy drinkers should reach out to their physician before embarking on a dry or damp January, according to Alan Berki, a drug and alcohol rehab counselor with Cleveland Clinic, as withdrawal symptoms can be uncomfortable and even deadly.
For others, however, there can be a number of physical, mental and emotional benefits.
“The condition of your skin, the increased amount of energy that you have, if you’re not replacing the alcohol with candy or sweets because you may start to crave those a little more if you stop drinking, you’ll definitely experience weight loss,” said Berki.
Dr. Klayton Barrows, D.O., a family medicine physician with Seale Harris Clinic in Birmingham, has seen more people drinking heavily over the last few years, according to Nexstar’s WIAT.
“Any amount [of alcohol] less is better than any amount more, but there are amounts of alcohol that are considered harmful,” Barrows said. The CDC and National Cancer Institute have tied alcohol use to an elevated risk of several types of cancer, including mouth and throat, larynx, esophagus, colon, liver and breast.
So whether your January is bone dry, or not entirely, experts recommend remembering that even small changes are worth making. | 2023-01-11T03:16:04+00:00 | wric.com | https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/what-is-damp-january/ |
The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol unveiled criminal referrals on Monday targeting former President Trump, recommending that the Department of Justice investigate the ex-president for inciting an insurrection, conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to make a false statement and obstruction of an official proceeding.
The referrals mark the culmination of the committee’s 18-month probe of the Jan. 6 attack and the role Trump played before, during and after the riot. They are a crescendo in the panel’s central case that Trump was at the center of a conspiracy to keep himself in power.
Investigators on the committee said they decided on criminal referrals against Trump based on sufficient evidence showing that he violated various statutes: inciting, assisting, or aiding and comforting an insurrection; obstructing an official proceeding; conspiracy to defraud the United States; conspiracy to make a false statement.
Trump campaign attorney John Eastman, who crafted two memos for the campaign outlining methods to stop the certification of the election results, was also referred for obstruction of an official proceeding and conspiracy to defraud the United States.
“We propose to the committee advancing referrals where the gravity of the specific offense, the severity of its actual harm, and the centrality of the offender to the overall design of the unlawful scheme to overthrow the election compel us to speak,” Rep. Jamime Raskin (D-Md.), a member of the panel, said at Monday’s meeting. “Ours is not a system of justice where foot soldiers go to jail and the masterminds and ringleaders get a free pass.”
The recommendations themselves, however, are largely symbolic, as the Department of Justice is not required to look into referrals from congressional committees. They also come as the agency is conducting its own investigation into the Capitol riot that was recently put under the purview of an independent special counsel.
But the referrals nonetheless mark a significant escalation in the political fight between the committee and Trump, especially as the former president wages his third bid for the White House.
The Justice Department will now have to decide whether it wants to pursue any prosecution based on the panel’s recommendations. It is unclear how the agency will proceed.
Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the chairman of the committee, said he is confident the Justice Department will charge Trump.
“I’m convinced that now that our committee has released our information, they will take the information that we’ve shared with them and proceed with investigation,” Thompson told CNN in an interview following Monday’s meeting. “I have no doubt that once the investigation proceed and is concluded, if the evidence is as we presented it, I’m convinced the Justice Department will charge former President Trump.”
“No one, including a former president, is above the law,” he added.
In backing up its recommendation for an insurrection charge, the panel said Trump was “directly responsible” for summoning a mob of his supporters to Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6, encouraging them to march to the Capitol, and “further provoking the already violent and lawless crowd” when he posted a tweet just before 2:30 p.m. that afternoon criticizing Pence for not hindering the election certification, according to the executive summary the committee released.
The committee argued the tweet “created a desperate and false expectation in President Trump’s mob that ended up putting the Vice President and his entourage and many others at the Capitol in physical danger.”
“When President Trump tweeted at 2:24 p.m., he knew violence was underway. His tweet exacerbated that violence,” the executive summary adds.
The committee also points to Trump’s inaction during the riot — despite requests from his staff and family to tell his supporters to go home — and his disinclination to send security assistance to the Capitol amid the violence. The executive summary notes that a number of defendants in Capitol riot-related cases identified Trump’s claims of a “stolen election” as central to driving their activities at the Capitol.
“The committee has developed significant evidence that President Trump intended to disrupt the peaceful transition of power under our Constitution. The President has an affirmative and primary constitutional duty to act to take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” Raskin said Monday.
“Nothing can be a greater betrayal of this duty than to assist in insurrection against the Constitutional order,” he added.
For the obstruction of an official proceeding referral, the panel argued Trump was directly involved with trying to prevent or delay the counting of the Electoral College votes from a number of states, including “personally pressuring Vice President Pence relentlessly” ahead of the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress.
In that pursuit, the committee said in its executive summary Trump “acted with a ‘corrupt’ purpose,” noting that he “pushed forward anyway” with his efforts to hinder the proceedings despite knowing that Pence did not have the power to prevent certification, and that he lost court cases because of insufficient evidence of widespread fraud.
The committee also cited Trump’s involvement in plans to transmit fake slates of electors, the pressure campaigns he waged against state officials and the Justice Department, his summoning of supporters to Washington on Jan. 6 and his inaction during the riot.
“The whole purpose and obvious effect of Trump’s scheme were to obstruct, influence and impede this official proceeding — the central moment for the lawful transfer of power in the United States,” Raskin said Monday.
On the conspiracy to defraud the United States referral, the committee argued Trump “entered into an agreement with individuals to obstruct a lawful function of government,” referring to the certification of the presidential election, and that the conspirators utilized “deceitful or dishonest means,” including Trump’s “repeated lied about the election” after being told that there was no evidence of fraud that would change the election results.
The conspiracy to defraud the United States statute applies when two or more people conspire to commit offenses against the U.S. The panel named former U.S. Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division Jeffrey Clark as “a participant in the conspiracy.”
The committee’s executive summary points to the agreement Clark entered into with Trump that said if Clark was made acting attorney general, “he would send a letter to State officials falsely stating that the Department of Justice believed that State legislatures had a sufficient factual basis to convene to select new electors.” But the substance of that vow, according to the panel, was false because “the Department of Justice had reached the conclusion that there was no factual basis to contend that the election was stolen.”
The report also suggested that pro-Trump lawyer Kenneth Chesebro, Rudy Giuliani and former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows participated in the conspiracy, in addition to Clark. But after the hearing, Raskin said the committee was unable to refer people other than Trump and Eastman for investigation by the DOJ because they did not cooperate fully with the committee.
“We’re referring to Trump and Eastman, but you’ll see that when you read the report, that there are lots of other people named as actors. But we were stymied by virtue of the fact that not everybody would testify, lots of people took the Fifth Amendment,” he told reporters. “So with respect to other particular actors, like Clark or Giuliani, we just can’t say because we don’t have quite enough evidence. And we wanted to proceed in a methodical and careful way to speak to those things were we had unanimous belief that offenses had been committed.”
For the conspiracy to make a false statement referral, the committee said evidence suggests that Trump “conspired with others” to submit fake slates of electors to Congress and the National Archives.
The panel walked through the three pieces of criteria the Justice Department uses to determine whether a false statement or act is criminal, arguing that the fake elector scheme was material, that slates were provided to the Executive and Legislative Branches, and that the statement was made knowingly and willfully because Trump “relied on the existence of those fake electors as a basis for asserting that the Vice President could reject or delay certification of the Biden electors.”

DOT releases proposed rail reforms in wake of Ohio train derailment
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) -Secretary Buttigieg outlined several initiatives to make the rail industry more safe Tuesda, February 21. Some of the proposals are rules the DOT is working on, but some reforms will require cooperation from Congress and rail companies themselves.
“The railroad industry has a track record of fighting safety regulations tooth and nail,” Buttigieg said. “That’s gotta change. They have to change their posture to work with us, not against us when it comes to raising the bar, so that you don’t have the kinds of incidents that people of East Palestine are now dealing with.”
Buttigieg is calling on rail companies to replace cars meant to contain hazardous materials more frequently and to participate in a system that allows workers to report near accidents without retaliation. He is also asking Congress to increase the maximum fine the DOT can issue to rail companies.
The DOT itself is working on a rule to require two crewmembers for most rail operations and a focused inspection program for high hazard trains. Buttigieg says train derailment is a significant problem in the U.S.
“They have definitely been going down in response to rigorous safety regulations in the past, but still too high,” Buttigieg said. “Every one is one too many.”
The independent National Transportation Safety Board is tasked with investigating the root cause of the crash. The DOT is investigating if rail company Norfolk Southern committed any safety violations.

Good morning, Chicago.
Who’s Taylor Swift, anyway?
Friday night in Chicago, for the first of three sold-out shows on her Eras Tour at Soldier Field, she contained multitudes, presiding over a 200-minute extravaganza that often had the crowd of more than 60,000 devoted fans singing along to every word. Swift played an innocent dreamer, a spell-casting sorceress, a festive clubgoer, wounded confessor, seductive chanteuse, contemplative heartbreaker, poet, fearless woman, LGBTQ advocate, trendsetting fashionista and much more.
The epic concert took the form of nine separate mini sets, each aurally and visually connected to a certain album, letting the pop phenom explore nearly every facet of a 17-year recording career that currently knows no limits. There was also a brief solo acoustic portion highlighted by two “surprise” selections.
Swift paired each set change with themed wardrobes and a parade of choreographed routines featuring a squadron of dancers and, frequently, members of her backup band. She also integrated projections on a mammoth, curved, high-definition screen, as well as mobile platforms whose height and shapes fluctuated during songs.
It was a stage whose magnitude dared make Soldier Field look midsize.

Aldermen use expense accounts to pay ex-Park District official who resigned amid lifeguard scandal
Four aldermen have paid more than $48,000 out of their taxpayer-funded expense accounts to a consulting firm run by a former top Chicago Park District official who was asked to resign for his involvement in the Park District’s sexual abuse lifeguard scandal and placed on a do-not-rehire list.
Payments to a firm owned and operated by Alonzo Williams, the Park District’s former chief programs officer, began less than five months after Williams’ resignation in late 2021 after he was repeatedly cited in an independent investigation as among several Park District executives who mishandled allegations of sexual harassment and abuse in the lifeguard program.
44 tickets, one excuse: Chicago cop’s go-to alibi helps highlight troubles with police accountability
As a Chicago cop, Jeffrey Kriv was investigated numerous times over allegations of misconduct. But not until an outside agency looked into the traffic tickets he contested — and his oddly consistent excuse — did he lose his badge.
Kriv’s long and troubled history, both on the job and off, highlights the city’s persistent issues with holding problematic officers accountable.
Illinois environmentalists push for state action to protect wetlands after Supreme Court ruling rolls back federal rules
Across the country, marshes, swamps and bogs quietly soak up flood water and filter pollutants. Ecologists agree they are one of the best natural defenses against climate change.
But after a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling, more than half of the country’s 118 million acres of wetlands, according to estimates from the environmental firm Earthjustice, will effectively no longer have federal protection from developers and polluters.
U. of C. student documentary highlights university’s complicated relationship with Hyde Park community
Afternoon Briefing
It was the use of hand sanitizer, or lack of it, that sparked the creation of a 70-minute film, “The Heart of Hyde Park: Stories of Small Businesses.” So says second-year University of Chicago student Lisa Raj Singh.
She had walked into the Pan-African art and craft gallery Kilimanjaro International on 53rd Street in 2022 when owner Rose Kyoma Garrett, aka Mother Rose, pointed to the door, signaling to Singh to put on hand sanitizer before proceeding into the shop. A confused Singh eventually figured it out and lathered it on.
‘What he’s done has motivated everybody.’ Liam Hendriks’ journey from cancer diagnosis to his Chicago White Sox return.
Liam Hendriks did not want to rule out the first two months of the season.
The Chicago White Sox closer, undergoing treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma, shared those sentiments with general manager Rick Hahn in the team parking lot on the first day of spring training in Glendale, Arizona.
“I also prefaced it with the fact, ‘Look, I understand it’s a business. I’m not asking for any special treatment or anything like that,’” Hendriks said Wednesday of attempting to make a case for avoiding the 60-day injured list. “‘But if there’s a chance I don’t have to go on, I would really appreciate not going on purely for my mindset because then I have something to beat.’”

Mini reviews: GG’s Chicken Shop, Itoko and Little Goat Diner, the new all-day dining destination in Chicago
Stephanie Izard may be the best-known chef of the three who just opened a trio of new restaurants in a historic building in Chicago. Then again, the concepts are not quite new. Little Goat Diner moved from its prominent place in the West Loop to a side street in Lakeview. Next door, GG’s Chicken Shop found a permanent home in the front corner space, after starting as a virtual pandemic restaurant out of a Michelin-starred kitchen in Lincoln Park. Then there’s Itoko, which means cousin in Japanese, and actually a new concept that could be considered a junior sibling to the well-established Momotaro.
Tribune critic Louisa Chu does a mini-review on all three. | 2023-06-05T12:29:24+00:00 | chicagotribune.com | https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-aud-cb-daywatch-newsletter-060523-20230605-wynk2zatmrd4zk3yhdi5czilki-story.html |
