TORONTO (AP) — Los Angeles Angels manager Phil Nevin was suspended for one game and fined an undisclosed amount by Major League Baseball on Saturday for a postgame outburst at an umpire following a loss to the Toronto Blue Jays a night earlier.
Bench coach Ray Montgomery managed the Angels during the second game of the three-game series as Nevin served his suspension.
Nevin was seen holding up a tablet computer and yelling at plate umpire Mike Estabrook as the crew left the field after the 4-1 loss Friday night.
The umpires access their locker room through the tunnel at the end of the visitor’s dugout on the first base side of Rogers Centre.
A Toronto police officer accompanied the umpire crew as it descended the dugout steps. Montgomery had to restrain Nevin as the umpires passed through the end of the dugout.
Nevin was angry about the game-ending called third strike against pinch hitter Michael Stefanic, who entered in the ninth inning with the bases loaded after Shohei Ohtani left because of cramping in both of his calves.
“I just explained to him that I thought the pitch to Stefanic was outside,” Nevin later told reporters.
Ohtani hit his major league-leading 39th home run in the series opener — part of a streak of three homers in three at-bats over two games — before exiting early.

King Charles III and Prince William visit people queuing to see Queen's coffin
King Charles III and Prince William, the Prince of Wales, greeted members of the public queuing to see the Queen's lying-in-state on Saturday on a surprise walkabout in London.
The royals were spotted shaking hands with well-wishers near Lambeth Bridge. Prince William appeared to be in high spirits as he talked to the crowd and asked several people how long they had been waiting.
Some mourners shouted "hip hip hooray" and "God save the King" as Charles passed.
One woman held up a Paddington Bear toy to Charles; the fictional bear has become associated with the Queen since she appeared in a sketch alongside the character during her Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
People have been queuing for hours to view Queen Elizabeth II's coffin since she began lying in state at Westminster Hall on Wednesday.
The line was nearing total capacity on Saturday, the government said. At lunchtime on Saturday, the government's queue tracker said the current wait time was 14 hours.
Earlier on Saturday, Charles III visited Metropolitan Police headquarters in the Lambeth borough of London to thank police and emergency services officials involved in the planning and implementation of events since the death of the late Queen.
Monday's funeral for the Queen will be the "largest single policing event" that London's Metropolitan Police force has ever undertaken, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stuart Cundy said during a media briefing on Friday.
The Queen's grandchildren -- including Princes William and Harry -- are expected to stand vigil by her coffin later on Saturday.
On Sunday, King Charles will host a reception at Buckingham Palace for "Heads of State and official overseas guests" ahead of the state funeral for the late Queen.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan, received an invitation to that reception by mistake, a source with knowledge of what happened told CNN.
As an official state occasion, the Palace said the King would be accompanied by working members of the Royal Family only. The source told CNN that they "imagined" that an administrative error had occurred. The couple was not "disinvited" from the reception, as some media outlets have reported.
A spokesperson for the Sussexes did not comment.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A powerful storm Saturday ushered in the new year in California, with much of the state witnessing drenching rain or heavy snowfall that was snarling traffic and closing highways.
In the high Sierra Nevada, as much as 2 feet (0.6 meters) of snow could accumulate Saturday into early Sunday. The National Weather Service in Sacramento warned about hazardous driving conditions and posted photos on Twitter showing traffic on snow-covered mountain passes, where vehicles were required to have chains or four-wheel drive.
The so-called atmospheric river storm was pulling in a long and wide plume of moisture from the Pacific Ocean, and flooding and rock slides triggered by the storm closed portions of roads across northern California.
The California Highway Patrol said a section of U.S. 101 — one of the state’s main traffic arteries — was closed indefinitely south of San Francisco because of flooding. Videos on Twitter showed mud-colored water streaming along San Francisco streets, and a staircase in Oakland turned into a veritable waterfall by heavy rains.
Weather service meteorologist Courtney Carpenter said the storm could drop over an inch of rain Saturday in the Sacramento area before moving south. One ski resort south of Lake Tahoe closed chair lifts because of flooding and operational problems, and posted a photo on Twitter showing one lift tower and its empty chairs surrounded by water.
“We’re seeing a lot of flooding,” Carpenter said.
The Stockton Police Department posted photos of a flooded railroad underpass and a car that appeared stalled in more than a foot (30 centimeters) of water.
The rain was welcomed in drought-parched California, but much more precipitation is needed to make a significant difference. The past three years have been California’s driest on record.
A winter storm warning was in effect into Sunday for the upper elevations of the Sierra from south of Yosemite National Park to north of Lake Tahoe, where as much as 5 feet (1.5 meters) of snow is possible atop the mountains, the National Weather Service said in Reno, Nevada.
A flood watch was in effect across much of Northern California through New Year’s Eve. Officials warned that rivers and streams could overflow and urged residents to get sandbags ready.
Some rainfall totals in the San Francisco Bay Area topped 4 inches (10 centimeters).
The state transportation agency reported numerous road closures, including Highway 70 east of Chico, which was partially closed by a slide, and the northbound side of Highway 49, east of Sacramento, which was closed because of flooding. In El Dorado County, east of Sacramento, a stretch of Highway 50 was closed because of flooding.
Humboldt County, where a 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck on Dec. 20, also saw roadways begin to flood, according to the National Weather Service’s Eureka office. A bridge that was temporarily closed last week due to earthquake damage may be closed again if the Eel River, which it crosses, gets too high, officials said.
It was the first of several storms expected to roll across California over the next week. The current system is expected to be warmer and wetter, while next week’s storms will be colder, lowering snow levels in the mountains, said Hannah Chandler-Cooley, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Sacramento.
The Sacramento region could receive a total of 4 to 5 inches (10 to 13 centimeters) of rain over the span of the week, Chandler-Cooley said.
“Strong winds could cause tree damage and lead to power outages and high waves on Lake Tahoe may capsize small vessels,” the weather service in Reno said.
Avalanche warnings were issued in the backcountry around Lake Tahoe and Mammoth Lakes south of Yosemite.
On the Sierra’s eastern front, flood watches and warnings continue into the weekend north and south of Reno, Nevada, where minor to moderate flooding was forecast along some rivers and streams into the weekend.
In Southern California, moderate-to-heavy rain was falling Saturday. The region will begin drying out on New Year’s Day and the Jan. 2 Rose Parade in Pasadena should avoid rainfall.
Another round of heavy showers were forecast for Tuesday or Wednesday, the National Weather Service in Oxnard said.

Long-overdue book returned to library after 47 years
LAKE ELMO, Minn. (WCCO) - A checked-out book finally made its way back home to a library in Minnesota 47 years later.
“It would have been in the 629 section,” Karen Rodricks said.
She pointed out where the “Chilton’s Foreign Car Repair Manual” used to be at the Lake Elmo branch of Washington County Libraries.
“Diesel repair book, too, in here so,” she said.
For decades it was missing from the shelves, until earlier this month when it arrived by mail. And inside the front of the cover, there was a handwritten note.
“In the mid-1970s, I was living in Lake Elmo and working on an old Mercedes Benz,” the note said. “A few months later I moved, and apparently the book got packed up in the move.”
The anonymous sender didn’t include a return address but explained why it was never returned.
“My apologies to anyone in Lake Elmo who was working on an old Benz in the last 47 years,” the note said. “I probably can’t afford the overdue charge, but I will send you enough for another book.”
Along with the note, $200 in cash was also included.
“This is the prize: the note,” Rodricks said.
It was the story behind this book’s journey that was more valuable to Rodricks than the cash inside.
Washington County Libraries no longer charges overdue fees, and they have other copies of the manual at other branches. So that money will be put be reinvested back into the Lake Elmo Library.
“The library always needs money, and we probably will put it towards books,” Rodricks said.
In a time when everything is digital and libraries don’t get as many people renting physical copies, it was nice for them to see a stranger remind them how much they care.
“That just shows how much he values the library,” Rodricks said.
Unfortunately, the book is not in good enough condition to lend out again, but the library did save the note of its journey back home.

PHILADELPHIA – U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg will visit the site in Philadelphia on Tuesday where an out-of-control tractor-trailer hauling gasoline flipped over on an Interstate 95 off-ramp, caught fire and destroyed a section of the East Coast’s main north-south highway.
One body was pulled from the wreckage.
Buttigieg was scheduled to meet with city and state officials and to discuss how the U.S. Department of Transportation can help rebuild the roughly 100-foot-long section of I-95, the agency said.
For now, I-95 will be closed in both directions for weeks as the summer travel season starts, upending hundreds of thousands of morning commutes and disrupting countless businesses.
The elevated southbound portion of I-95 will have to be demolished, as well as the northbound side, officials say.
The driver of the tractor-trailer was feared dead, although the coroner has yet to identify the victim. Pennsylvania State Police said a body was turned over to the Philadelphia medical examiner and coroner but did not identify the remains or respond when asked whether they belonged to the driver.
Authorities say the driver was headed northbound, navigating a curving off-ramp when the vehicle went out of control and landed on its side, rupturing the tank.
The damaged I-95 segment carries about 160,000 vehicles daily, believed to be the busiest roadway in Pennsylvania, state officials said.
PennDOT rated the 104-foot span as in good condition earlier this year, with another inspection set for 2025.
It could take weeks, at least, to replace it.
In California, a similar situation happened with a highway ramp in Oakland. It was replaced in 26 days, Joseph L. Schofer, a retired professor of civil and environmental engineering from Northwestern University, said.
In Atlanta, an elevated portion of Interstate 85 collapsed in a fire, shutting down the heavily traveled route through the heart of the city in March 2017. It took authorities there 43 days to replace it, Schofer said.

BERLIN (AP) — Long periods of sunshine took solar power generation in Europe to a record high this summer, helping reduce the need for gas imports, according to a report Thursday.
Energy think tank Ember said the European Union generated 12% of its electricity from solar power from May to August, up from 9% during the same period last year.
Electricity generated from photovoltaic installations narrowly topped the share provided from wind or hydropower, while coming in just below that produced from burning coal.
Ember said that without the 99.4 terrawatt hours of electricity provided by solar, the EU would have had to buy 20 billion cubic meters of gas, costing about 29 billion euros (nearly $29 billion) during the four-month period.
The Netherlands and Germany, not known for their sunny climates, had the highest share of electricity from solar, followed by Spain.
Poland saw the biggest increase in solar power generation compared with 2018, increasing installed capacity 26-fold, the report said.
“The solar records set this summer helped keep the lights on and reduced the EU’s now critical gas consumption, providing short-term relief to the soaring cost of energy,” its authors said.
With Europe trying to wean itself off Russian gas because of the war in Ukraine, and high fossil fuel prices expected to last for years, they urged governments to ensure solar power use can expand further, including by removing regulatory hurdles.
The authors noted this would also help the EU achieve its climate goal, saying solar power — which provides much less electricity in the winter months — would need to increase up to nine-fold by 2035 for the bloc to meet the emissions targets set in the 2015 Paris accord.

Fourth annual National Dual Mission Summit elevates the success of colleges and universities that offer an intentional blend of undergraduate programs and blend skills-training with liberal arts to address growing workforce needs
GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo., Oct. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Amidst steep declines in enrollment, a growing number of colleges and universities are embracing an emerging and promising model. So-called dual mission institutions offer an intentional blend of stackable, undergradute programs and pair degree programs with workforce-relevant certificates and training. Graduates of all backgrounds, often in rural parts of the country, earn valuable credentials along with the skills they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving labor market. Today, an estimated 400 colleges and universities operate as dual mission institutions.
"A growing number of Americans view getting a job and earning a college degree as at-odds. Dual mission institutions, are challenging that false dichotomy," said Dr. Carrie Besnette Hauser, president and CEO of Colorado Mountain College, host of this year's convening. "We offer learners – regardless of age, background or educational sequening – a one stop shop to pursue career-relevant pathways and credentials along with degrees that ready them for what will likely be multiple careers over their lifetimes."
With major underwriting support of Lumina Foundation, the National Dual Mission Summit will be held from November 2 to November 4 in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The convening will bring together national, federal and state-level postsecondary education leaders and policymakers, including Colorado Governor Jared Polis and former U.S. undersecretary of education Dr. Ted Mitchell, who now leads the American Council on Education which is undertaking a major initiative to re-think the 50-year old Carnegie Classification System of higher education institutions.
"Lumina Foundation is proud to support emerging models in postsecondary education, particularly when those models prioritize educational equity and offer pathways that are closely aligned with local and regional workforce needs," said Jamie Merisotis, president and CEO of Lumina Foundation. "At a time when the nation's learners are more diverse and come to postsecondary education with experience, skills and knowledge, we commend the nation's dual mission institutions for their open-access orientation and their willingness to put learners on a path toward economic prosperity."

Narcan nasal spray maker aims for over-the-counter price of less than $50
By Katherine Dillinger, CNN
Emergent, the maker of the opioid overdose antidote Narcan, said in a statement Thursday that it is aiming for an out-of-pocket price of less than $50 for its nasal spray product now that the US Food and Drug Administration allows for over-the-counter sales.
Public interest groups such as government agencies, nonprofits and first responders pay less than $50, on average, for a kit of two 4-milligram doses, the company says. The wholesale price is $125 per kit. “A goal for the out-of-pocket retailer price is to be consistent with our public interest pricing … although retail price is set by individual retailers.”
In an April 6 letter to Emergent, Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut asked the company to respond by Thursday with “the affordable OTC Narcan list price that your company intends to set.”
“Currently, your product is reported as having a wholesale price as high as $120 for two doses, with significant variation in price depending on location and insurance coverage. Individuals without insurance — about one fifth of people with opioid use disorder are uninsured — will be forced to bear the full cost. Even individuals with insurance and low co-pays can struggle to afford Narcan,” he wrote. “I ask you to commit to work with public health experts, addiction specialists, and community activists to develop and determine a list price for OTC Narcan that makes it affordable and accessible for those who need it most.”
In a response letter Thursday, Emergent emphasized the importance of continued federal funding for substance abuse treatment and prevention programs, including opioid response initiatives that distribute Narcan, and for private insurers, Medicare and Medicaid to consider their coverage of the medication.
Emergent aims to have Narcan available online and in stores by late summer.
Harm-reduction experts have said the price of naloxone, the overdose antidote medication in Narcan, has inhibited its accessibility for people who need it most and will probably still be out of reach for many, despite a potential price drop with OTC availability.
Dr. Rahul Gupta, director of the White House’s Office of National Drug Control Policy, said when the FDA approved OTC naloxone last month that the administration is asking Emergent to keep the price low.
“We’ve got to make sure that these life-saving medications, as well as treatment, is accessible across no matter where you live, rural or urban, rich or poor,” he said.
Narcan works by blocking the effects of opioids on the brain and restoring breathing. For the most effectiveness, it must be given as soon as signs of overdose appear.
The drug works on someone only if there are opioids in their system. It won’t work on any other type of drug overdose, but it won’t have adverse effects if given to someone who hasn’t taken opioids.
Each kit contains two doses in case the person overdosing does not respond to the first dose. However, Emergent says most overdoses can be reversed with a single dose. The product can be administered to anyone, even children and babies.
More than a million people have died of drug overdoses in the two decades since the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began collecting that data. Many of those deaths were due to opioids. Deaths from opioid overdoses rose more than 17% in just one year, from about 69,000 in 2020 to about 81,020 in 2021, the CDC found.
Opioid deaths are the leading cause of accidental death in the US. Most are among adults, but children are also dying, largely after ingesting synthetic opioids such as fentanyl. Between 1999 and 2016, nearly 9,000 children and adolescents died of opioid poisoning, with the highest annual rates among adolescents 15 to 19, the CDC says.
About 1.2 million doses of naloxone were dispensed by retail pharmacies in 2021, according to data published by the American Medical Association — nearly nine times more than were dispensed five years earlier.

Which large food storage containers are best?
Buying food in bulk seems like a great way to save money and prepare for the future, but what happens when that bulk food gets home to the pantry? Improper food storage can lead to spoilage, waste and money down the drain. The best large food storage containers can handle bulk quantities of pantry staples like flour, sugar, rice and other grains, keeping them fresh and tasty for months (or even years).
If you are looking to purchase a set of large food storage containers with locking lids and labels, the Vtopmart Extra Large Tall Airtight Food Storage Containers is a good choice.
What to know before you buy large food storage containers
Capacity
How much will you need to store? Many large food storage containers aren’t actually as big as you will need to store large amounts of food. Consider that a 25-pound bag of flour needs a large food storage container that is at least 6 quarts and choose your capacity accordingly. Look for containers with openings that can also accommodate a scoop to remove the quantity of food you need without moving the container.
Number of containers
The number of large food storage containers you use depends on what you’re storing and the size of your family. If you routinely stock up on dry goods like flour, sugar, rice and oats, you’ll need food storage containers for each of those. If you are a serious baker who only needs large quantities of flour, you’ll need fewer than the family looking to stock up for long-term emergencies.
Wet vs. dry storage
Most large food storage containers are used for storing Dry Goods, but what if you need to store large amounts of wet food? First, you’ll need a refrigerator or freezer space large enough to accommodate your food container, but you’ll also need a large food storage container that can be used with wet food. This means the lid should seal against leaking, and the container itself should be made only of BPA-free plastic or glass.
What to look for in quality large food storage containers
Airtight lids
Oxygen is the enemy of long-term food storage. Airtight lids on large food storage containers are critical. Some of these lids use clips or sealed plastic locking clamps. Others have a pop-up feature on the lid that also creates a vacuum seal. Lids that seal properly also keep moisture out of dry goods. This prolongs the shelf life of your food as well.
Material of the container
Large food storage containers come in a variety of materials, but the most economical and common one is plastic. Opaque plastic blocks sunlight and can prevent spoilage for long-term food storage, but most households find that clear plastic works best for their needs. Clear plastic also makes it easier to see what’s in your large food storage container.
While glass containers are also clear, they are very heavy and don’t make sense in households with children where broken glass might be an issue. Metal large food storage containers are also an option, but again you cannot see what’s inside quickly.
If you do choose plastic large food storage containers, make sure that lids and the container itself are all BPA-free.
Labels
No matter if you choose clear or opaque plastic, metal or glass, labels are a convenient way to tell sugar from salt at a distance. Look for reusable labels.
How much you can expect to spend on large food storage containers
The most affordable way to acquire a collection of large food storage containers is to buy them in a set. High-quality sets start at around $40. If you purchase one large food storage container at a time, they will range in price from $20-$40 each.
Large food storage container FAQ
When do you replace large food storage containers?
A. Large food storage containers used to store dry food only have an incredibly long shelf-life. You’ll only need to replace them if you see scratches in the container or cracks in the rubber seal of the lid.
If you are storing wet food, look for any discoloration or odor coming from the container. This is a sign that it is time to replace it.
Which size container do you need?
A. Look for a large food storage container that fits what you’re storing with very little space at the top. You want as little oxygen as possible in the container itself.

Thursday’s news of USC and UCLA joining the Big Ten Conference as early as 2024 stunned the college sports world.
The prospect of two elite athletic programs teaming up with the nation’s most powerful Power Five conference might be the most anticipated merger since Joe Walsh joined the Eagles.
Did the Eagles really need Walsh to crank out hit after hit?
No, but they immediately turned out the granddaddy of all classic rock albums, “Hotel California,” and became better than ever with Walsh.
Ditto the Big Ten, which didn’t need USC or UCLA to prove its worth in the world of college sports but became exponentially greater with both schools as members.
What it means for the college football landscape will be the subject of intense speculation the next several weeks and months leading into September.
The idea of two super-conferences — the Big Ten and SEC — dominating the sport and leading to the extinction or irrelevance of the remaining three power conferences seems to be the most likely outcome, at least according to experts who somehow missed out on the biggest story of the year until it actually happened.
Oklahoma and Texas ignited the gold rush last year when the two most prominent Big 12 schools announced their decision to bolt to the SEC. Surely we haven’t seen the last “name” school eschewing tradition to join one of the super conferences and share the TV booty. And when that happens, the poor get poorer.
But who knows?
Maybe the Big 12, ACC and Pac-12 can survive as minor conferences. There certainly are enough networks and streaming services for everyone to get a share of the TV pie, even if it’s a sliver compared with the wheelbarrows full of cash the Big Ten and SEC will be raking in under their current and future contracts.
One of the biggest questions is what happens with Notre Dame, the only college football program that doesn’t need to share with the others because it’s freaking Notre Dame.
The Irish never needed to join a conference because NBC airs all of their home games in a deal that runs through 2025. They’ve had a national following for more than a century and have been doing just fine as an independent, making it to the College Football Playoff without having to win a conference title.
But according to Notre Dame’s agreement with the ACC, the Irish are obligated to join the conference if they decide to give up their independent status before 2036. That’s a long way from now, especially with the rapid alteration of the college sports landscape.
And if Clemson, Miami and another team bolt the ACC for the SEC, as some have predicted, the future of the conference would be in severe jeopardy.
The obvious choice for Notre Dame would be the Big Ten — the Irish would fit perfectly with the Ohio States, Michigans and USCs of the college football world. This has been discussed since Nebraska and Penn State joined the Big Ten, but the Irish didn’t need the Big Ten and kept the status quo.
Times change, and Notre Dame soon might have no choice but to join a conference. But why would the SEC let Notre Dame get away without making an offer that its president, Rev. John Jenkins, couldn’t refuse? If USC and UCLA are good fits for the Big Ten, why wouldn’t Notre Dame be comfortable in the SEC?
Perhaps coach Marcus Freeman could even affect a Southern accent like his predecessor, the chameleon-like Brian Kelly, who took LSU’s money and suddenly began sounding like he was shucking crawdads on the bayou. A Notre Dame schedule with games against LSU, Alabama and Georgia every season would be just as appetizing as a Big Ten schedule, and the SEC’s dominance proves it’s by far the best football conference.
While we await the fallout from the USC and UCLA exodus, we also mourn the loss of the Rose Bowl as the preeminent New Year’s Day bowl game. The tradition already took a hit when they played the 2021 Rose Bowl at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. No one seemed to blink when the “granddady of ‘em all” wasn’t played in Pasadena, Calif., so maybe no one will mind if USC were to play Washington State of the revamped Pac-6 Conference in the 2025 Rose Bowl.
College football can survive anything, no matter the unending competition for the biggest haul from universities that were built to provide education for students rather than entertainment for the masses. When it comes down to it, the game-day experience — including the marching bands, cheerleaders, fight songs, stadiums, age-old rivalries and newer traditions such as the “Jump Around” singalong in Madison, Wis. — make every fall Saturday a day to look forward to.
Changes always have been part of the game and always will be.
In the words of the House of Pain anthem performed at every Wisconsin game: “Get used to one style and yo and I might switch.”
Jump around, America. Jump around.

WASHINGTON (AP) — It's a deal no one in Washington claims to really like. But after weeks of negotiations, President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy have struck an agreement to raise the debt ceiling and avert a potentially devastating government default.
The stakes are high for both men — and now each will have to persuade lawmakers in their parties to vote for it. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said last week that the United States could run out of cash to pay the bills and default on its obligations if the debt ceiling is not raised by June 5.
The ultimate agreement, hammered out by Biden, McCarthy and a small group of their deputies, is a two-year budget deal that would essentially hold spending flat for 2024, while boosting it for defense and veterans, and capping increases at 1% for 2025. It would suspend the debt limit until January 2025, after the next presidential election. Republicans had insisted on reducing spending and had passed their own bill with much larger cuts last month.
The package would also make policy tweaks, including by adding work requirements for some food aid recipients and streamlining an environmental law that Republicans say has made it harder to build energy projects.
Takeaways from the deal, and from the negotiations that led up to it:
McCARTHY’S DELICATE BALANCING ACT
Ever since McCarthy won the House speakership on the 15th ballot in January, it was clear that the debt ceiling negotiations would be his first and perhaps biggest test.
Known more for strategy than policy, McCarthy has had a challenge that seemed almost insurmountable, with a narrow majority and a sizable group of hard-right conservatives certain to oppose anything he negotiated with Biden. And he could still find himself in the middle of a crisis if too many in his caucus revolt when the House votes on the package this week.
Through it all, the Californian has exhibited his typical laid-back vibe, projecting confidence about the bill and its success. He said Sunday that he will win a majority of Republicans on the bill and some Democrats.
In a conference call on Saturday night, McCarthy said, more than 95 percent of the members in his conference “were overwhelmingly excited about what they see.”
But some House Republicans were publicly slamming the deal, arguing it did too little to cut the deficit. Rep. Dan Bishop of North Carolina tweeted a vomit emoji, complaining that some Republicans on the call were praising the speaker for getting what he said is “almost zippo in exchange” for the debt-ceiling hike.
BIDEN’S RELUCTANT COMPROMISE
For months, Biden and his aides had a mantra: There would be no negotiation on the debt limit. But then he negotiated anyway.
It’s not where Biden, a veteran of the nasty 2011 debt-limit battle that saw the nation’s credit rating downgraded for the first time in history, wanted to be. But it was a likely scenario — with a Republican-controlled House that had made it clear from the start that it would not raise the borrowing authority under a Democratic president without extracting spending curbs or other policy concessions.
There was no way Biden, who is running for re-election next year, would want a historic default on his watch.
Biden has continued to insist that he was negotiating on the budget, not the debt ceiling. But pushed by a reporter Sunday evening who noted that was precisely what Republicans were seeking in exchange for lifting the debt limit, the president seemed to break from his talking point.
“Sure, yeah,” Biden said, chuckling slightly. “Can you think of an alternative?”
Now he will have to sell it to House Democrats, who must vote for it in big enough numbers to make up for defecting Republicans. Many progressive members in the House have appeared skeptical of the deal, but they remained mostly quiet over the weekend as they waited for more details.
But the deal won early praise from another key Democratic group. The New Democrat Coalition, which has roughly 100 members, praised Biden as having negotiated “a viable, bipartisan solution to end this crisis.”
LONG-SOUGHT GOP POLICY
Republicans were able to win some policy changes they have sought for years, however modest, including on food aid. The bill would raise the age limit for existing work requirements in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamps. It would also create a new agency to develop and streamline environmental reviews that Republicans have complained about for decades.
The new work requirements for able-bodied SNAP recipients without dependents would phase in by 2025 and expire by 2030. And a provision pushed by Biden would take some vulnerable recipients — like veterans and the homeless — off work requirements entirely. But Republicans made clear that pushing more people to work in exchange for government benefits was a major victory for them, even if mostly symbolic.
The bill also would amend the National Environmental Policy Act and designate “a single lead agency” to develop environmental reviews, in hopes of streamlining the process.
Republicans had hoped for a much broader permitting package that would make it easier to build and develop energy projects. But Louisiana Rep. Garret Graves, a McCarthy ally who was one of the negotiators, said the bill brings “transformational changes into the permitting and environmental review process” for the first time in four decades.
SENATE QUIET, WAITING TO CLOSE
McCarthy has said the House will vote on the package Wednesday. If passed, it will then head to the Democratic-led Senate where leaders will have to get agreement from all 100 members to speed up the process and avert a default by next Monday.
The White House briefed Democratic senators Sunday and McCarthy briefed Republicans. But most senators remained quiet on the deal as they waited for the full text and to see if McCarthy can navigate it through the House.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky cut themselves out of the negotiating process early on, saying it should be a negotiation between the White House and McCarthy.
McConnell issued a statement supporting the legislation on Sunday but some in his caucus have criticized it. The two leaders will have to navigate any potential objections over the coming week as they seek to win full support to move quickly on the deal.
“With Republicans like these, who needs Democrats?” tweeted Utah Sen. Mike Lee on Saturday, aligning himself with the House Republicans who say the deal is not conservative enough.

The Warriors could face a diminished version of the Sacramento Kings in Wednesday’s crucial Game 5 of their first-round playoff series.
Kings guard De’Aaron Fox reportedly injured a finger on his shooting hand in Sunday’s loss to the Warriors, putting his status for Game 5 and beyond in question.
The All-Star guard fractured the tip of his left index finger in the fourth quarter of the Warriors’ 126-125 win that tied the series at two games apiece, The Athletic reported Monday.
Fox will be listed as doubtful for Wednesday’s game in Sacramento, according to several reports. The Kings are holding out hope that he’ll play, according to ESPN. If he does, he’ll need to wear a protective covering over his finger.
Fox appeared to injure his finger with 4:35 left in the game when he drove past Jordan Poole and drew a foul, then attempted a post-whistle layup over Kevon Looney, who swiped at the ball. Their hands appeared to collide and Fox was subsequently spotted shaking his left hand before grabbing it.
He remained in the game and finished with 38 points, nine rebounds and five assists.
Fox has been one of the Warriors’ greatest challenges of this first-round matchup. He’s averaged 31.5 points, seven assists, six rebounds and 2.5 steals in the first four games of this best-of-seven series. The inaugural Clutch Player of the Year is shooting 44.7% from the field and 34.2% from deep over the first four games.
After Fox scored 21 points in the first half of Sunday’s game, Warriors assistant coaches Chris DeMarco and Dejan Milojević suggested giving Draymond Green the task of guarding the nimble 25-year-old in the second half.
Fox went 3-for-8 from the field with Green as his primary defender on Sunday, per NBA player tracking data. Green and Stephen Curry teamed up to get a crucial stop in the game’s final possession, with the two Warriors stars bottling up Fox and forcing him to pass the ball to Harrison Barnes, who missed the potential game-winning shot.
“Fox is a great player, man. He’s incredible,” Green said after the game. “He continues to get better, and any time you draw the assignment to go guard the other team’s best player, you appreciate the opportunity, and I definitely did.”
The news of Fox’s injury swung the betting markets, as the Warriors went from 1.5-point underdogs for Wednesday’s game to 4-point favorites, per Caesars Sportsbook. Their odds to win the series also jumped from -180 to -250 at DraftKings.
Golden State has struggled all season on the road, but Game 5 presents an opportunity to buck that trend, as the Warriors enter following two straight wins to even the series. Golden State would need to win at least one game on the road to move on to the Western Conference semifinals.
The Kings are 4-5 without Fox this season.

Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy-led updates to community guidance seek to assist trial sponsors in the clinical development of safe and effective therapies for the treatment of Duchenne, Becker, and related dystrophinopathies over the entire spectrum of the disease.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD), a nonprofit organization leading the fight to end Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Duchenne), announced the submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of a significantly revised version of the community draft guidance on Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Becker muscular dystrophy, and related dystrophinopathies. The initial community draft guidance was submitted by a consortium of stakeholders under the coordination of PPMD in July 2014. This revision is provided to reflect scientific progress, patient-focused drug development studies, published clinical trials, and related relevant information compiled over the 8 years subsequent to the last submission, and is now provided for consideration by the FDA.
"PPMD thanks the FDA for their receptive response to our original 2014 submission, in which the Duchenne and Becker community collaborated to develop and submit to the FDA the first-ever patient advocacy-initiated Duchenne Guidance for developing therapies. This effort was intended to help accelerate drug development. In 2018, the FDA followed by issuing its own Duchenne Guidance, as the drug development pipeline continued to expand," said PPMD's Founding President & CEO, Pat Furlong. "Since the original submission, a lot has changed. Our community has experienced regulatory successes with five drug approvals, as well as difficult disappointments with several study terminations. As the field has evolved, so has our understanding and learnings about what to do differently. For this reason, PPMD initiated an update to the 2014 Guidance, so that new knowledge and experience from clinical studies can be applied moving forward. We have also requested that the FDA officially open a new docket for this revised community guidance initiative to allow for broad public attention and commentary."
This current submission builds upon the previously submitted community guidance, again using some of FDA's guidance format practices, which was assembled by working groups including recognized clinical trial investigators, disease experts, patients, caregivers, industry scientists, and other interested stakeholders. The community guidance update process has taken over a year to compile, assess, and integrate extensive new material to capture contemporaneous scientific, clinical, and care developments to inform the revision content.
The new version includes updates to sections of the 2014 document as well as additional original sections covering cardiac, gene therapy, and informed consent sections for the FDA's consideration. The updates also build upon various ongoing exchanges with regulators and other experts over the past 8 years.
"Our intent is unchanged from the 2014 community guidance endeavor; that is to lay out a structure for companies developing therapies, so that they may clearly understand the disease, what is important to patients, and what is required by regulatory agencies to determine the safety and effectiveness of a therapy, as well as the patient-focused views of benefit expectations and risk tolerance of our community," said Ryan Fischer, PPMD's Chief Advocacy Officer. "We've made a great deal of progress since the first guidance and recognized the need to revisit the landmark document to ensure it reflects both scientific and procedural progress, including the new sections covering advancements in cardiology and gene therapy. This is expected to help drive innovation in Duchenne, Becker, and related dystrophinopathies as well as carve a path toward our ultimate goal of accessible therapies for all patients."
The process of updating the Community Guidance has involved over 100 stakeholders including patients, caregivers, clinicians, researchers, drug companies, genetic counselors, and regulatory experts. This unprecedented effort brought together the leading experts in Duchenne serving on working groups in the following areas:
- Benefit-Risk Preferences and Patient Experience
- Biomarkers
- Diagnosis
- Cardiac
- Gene Therapy
- Natural History, Trial Design, Outcome Measures
Two advisory boards were also involved in the update overseeing the process and commenting on each section of the Guidance; A Pharmaceutical Advisory Board comprised of 21 companies currently developing therapies for Duchenne and Becker, and a Community Advisory Board that included 20 Duchenne partner organizations.
Duchenne is a genetic disorder that slowly robs people of their muscle strength. Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD) fights every single battle necessary to end Duchenne.
We demand optimal care standards and ensure every family has access to expert healthcare providers, cutting edge treatments, and a community of support. We invest deeply in treatments for this generation of Duchenne patients and in research that will benefit future generations. Our advocacy efforts have secured hundreds of millions of dollars in funding and won five FDA approvals.
Everything we do—and everything we have done since our founding in 1994—helps those with Duchenne live longer, stronger lives. We will not rest until we end Duchenne for every single person affected by the disease. Join our fight against Duchenne at EndDuchenne.org. Follow PPMD on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

The owner of Helping Hands for Furry Paws animal rescue in Butler County, Ohio, was issued an arrest warrant after a raid of her home led to the discovery of nearly 120 dogs, 30 of which were found dead in freezers on Friday.
The remaining 86 dogs were taken to the Animal Friends Humane Society of Butler County for evaluation and treatment.
Rescue owner Rhonda Murphy had been hospitalized and, at the time of publication, had not been taken into police custody.
Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones said the conditions were some of the worst ever seen by sheriff's deputies and dog warden investigators.
"Five sets of puppies. No food," Jones said. "This one was nursing other pups, and you can see ribs hanging out, so, pretty nasty stuff."
SEE MORE: Why are custody battles over pets on the rise?
The conditions at Helping Hands for Furry Paws were completely different from Cincinnati Animal Care. Volunteers spent Saturday afternoon beautifying the property as 40 to 50 employees, like Ray Anderson, work daily to care for roughly 8,000 animals who pass through their facility annually.
"A lot of folks, they don't know the difference between a shelter and a rescue," Anderson said.
He said rescues can range from large operations dealing with hundreds of animals to a single person housing a couple of dogs off the street, but a person attempting to surrender their pet may never know what they're dealing with if they don't do their due diligence.
"Go some place where you can actually see the living conditions of the animals," Anderson said. "If someone is telling you they'll meet you at the Ikea parking lot or some other public space versus seeing how the animal is living, that would be a red flag for me."
If a person can't make a trip to see a property with their own eyes, Anderson suggested doing thorough research online.
He said reputable rescues should be posting recent pictures or videos of multiple animals around their facility, and the same should be true for any rescue's social media presence.
"Really, that's the big thing," Anderson said, "transparency."
Anderson said amateur rescues that get out of control usually start with the good intentions of helping animals in need, but become too much to handle.
He said shelters exist to help people before it reaches that point, and suggested people reach out to their local shelter before it reaches the point of criminality.

Cowboys for Trump cofounder found not guilty of campaign finance charge
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Cowboys for Trump cofounder Couy Griffin was found not guilty Wednesday of a misdemeanor charge of failing to register a political committee at a trial in southern New Mexico.
The verdict from a 12-member jury capped a two-day trial in Alamogordo, the community where Griffin served as an Otero County commissioner until he was banished from office last year for his role in the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.
The dismissed charge against Griffin carried a potential punishment of up to a year in prison and a $1,000 fine.
Jurors deliberated for more than nine hours before delivering the verdict. The decision interrupts a string of adverse legal decisions for Griffin, who remains barred from elected office under a judge’s decision upheld by the New Mexico Supreme Court in February.
Griffin said in a text message that he felt “blessed to be judged by a jury of peers” in his home community and has “never felt as vindicated.”
In 2019, Griffin forged a group of rodeo acquaintances into the promotional group called Cowboys for Trump, which staged horseback parades to spread President Donald Trump’s conservative message about gun rights, immigration controls and abortion restrictions.
Griffin invoked free speech protections in declining to register and disclose donors to Cowboys for Trump, while expressing concern that financial contributors might be harassed.
In closing arguments Wednesday, prosecutors argued that Griffin used Cowboys for Trump to explicitly link political advocacy to appeals for online donations, while flouting registration and financial disclosure requirements for political committees that are designed to ensure transparency and fairness in elections.
They said Griffin was a politician in his own right who clearly advocated for Trump while the president was a candidate for reelection, and that Griffin also promoted political positions on border enforcement, gun rights, abortion and more.
But the jury wasn’t persuaded. Defense attorney Jonathan Miller portrayed Griffin as “just a guy who rides a horse” and tried to do the right thing by registering Cowboys for Trump as a for-profit corporation and notifying donors that they cannot deduct donations from taxes.
Miller, a public defender, said Griffin’s intention was to speak boldly and openly about common sense convictions and national pride — without yielding to government control through the regulation of nonprofit groups.
“He shouldn’t be punished for showing his pride in his country,” Miller said.
Griffin’s attorney also accused state campaign finance regulators of bias and singling out Cowboys for Trump for enforcement.
Since early 2020, Griffin has resisted pressure to register the group as a political committee, including filing an unsuccessful petition with the 10th District Court of Appeals.
The secretary of state’s office initially prevailed in a June 2020 arbitration decision that ordered Cowboys for Trump to register as a political committee, file expenditure and contribution reports and pay a fine of $7,800. Griffin never complied with the agreement.
Griffin was previously convicted in federal court of a misdemeanor for entering restricted U.S. Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, without going inside the building. Last year, he became the first elected official to be banished from elected office in connection with the attack on the U.S. Capitol building, which disrupted Congress as it was trying to certify President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory.
While still a county commissioner, Griffin joined with Republican colleagues in refusing to certify results of the June 2022 primary election based on distrust of the voting systems used to tally the vote, even though the county’s election official said there were no problems. The board ultimately certified the election on a 2-1 vote with Griffin still voting no based on a “gut feeling.”

Deputies: Intoxicated driver ran over pedestrian, fled
MUNCIE, Ind. — Deputies allege a rural Parker City man was intoxicated when he drove over a pedestrian and then fled from the scene.
Clifton David Griffis, 28, was arrested late Saturday on preliminary counts of driving while intoxicated resulting in serious bodily injury, leaving the scene of a crash, possession of a narcotic drug, criminal recklessness and possession of marijuana.
A deputy that evening was sent to a reported domestic disturbance at a home on Northwood Drive, at a Parker City address but in eastern Delaware County.
A woman at that scene said Griffis had driven away in her minivan. That vehicle a short time later was found parked along Ind. 32, with Griffis walking nearby.
More:Delaware County man charged with DWI in crash that severely hurt wife
He was returned to the Northwood Drive residence, where authorities were told Griffis had earlier drove over a man reported to be his girlfriend's stepfather.
That man was described as "in extreme pain," with dirt marks on his hooded sweatshirt and athletic pants. He said Griffis had backed over him as he tried to persuade him not to leave in the woman's minivan.
The victim was taken by ambulance to IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital, and later told investigators he likely had torn leg ligaments.
According to an affidavit, Griffis became upset after being returned to his home and repeatedly head-butted a deputy's patrol car. He also maintained he was unaware the other man had been run over by the vehicle.
A breath test measured Griffis' blood-alcohol content at 0.176. In Indiana, motorists with a BAC of 0.08 or higher are considered intoxicated.
After a blood sample was taken at the hospital, Griffis was delivered to the Delaware County jail, where an officer reported finding two tablets of methadone hydrochloride, an opioid medication, in the Parker City man's socks.
He continued to be held in the jail on Wednesday under a $24,500 bond.
In 2020, Griffis was convicted of attempted robbery and carrying a handgun without a license in Delaware County courts.

Two Livingston Parish sheriff's sales have been canceled, part of the continuing fall out from a Christmas cyberattack on a third-party vendor that stores data for the parish Clerk of Court's office.
Clerk of Court Jason Harris said the office uses a software system from Cott Systems, based in Columbus, Ohio, to host their data off-site, in the cloud, on multiple servers. Livingston has worked with the company, which hosts systems across 21 states, for over a decade.
Over Christmas, the system was apparently breached, prompting a shutdown to protect the data and launching a system-wide review to identify what, if any, information had been compromised, Harris said.
For several weeks now, the e-search function that allows people to search for public records on the clerk of court's website has been down.
In a social media post, the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office announced that the sheriff's sales scheduled for Jan. 18 at 10 a.m. and Feb. 15 at 10 a.m. were canceled because of fallout from the cyberattack.
"The attack has impacted 25 Louisiana Clerk of Court Offices as well as 300+ counties in multiple states," the post says. "In order to provide the correct and required documents, information will not be readily available for the Sheriff’s Sale on January 18th or February 15th. We apologize for the inconvenience and look forward to seeing you on March 15."
The post added that the office "We will hold sales on movables only as regularly scheduled on Jan. 18."
Harris said the office was finally up and running internally Tuesday, though the external e-search function for public records was still unavailable for the public. Harris does anticipate that function will return soon, however.
He emphasized that if people need help accessing documents to call the clerk's office, as they will likely be able to locate the files currently unavailable to the public. Employees were working late into the night to catch up on the backlog.
"Some of the files are still in boxes because we’ve been manually recording them for a couple of weeks," he said.

Which rain gear is best for tailgating?
Spending some time outdoors with some friends before the big game or other event is always enjoyable, though sometimes the weather can put a damper on your tailgating party. However, a little rain doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll need to cancel your plans.
By investing in some reliable and durable rain gear, you can stay dry and comfortable even when the weather isn’t in your favor. From equipment like canopies and umbrellas to rain jackets and waterproof accessories, tailgating in wet weather can still be a fun and rewarding experience.
Tips for tailgating in the rain
Find the right spot
Location matters, especially when tailgating in inclement weather. While you won’t always have much control over where you can park your car, if possible look for an area that is fully or partially covered. You’ll also benefit from setting up on higher ground, just in case the rain starts to collect and pool in lower areas.
Bring extra clothing
If you do happen to get wet, having a spare set of dry clothes handy will ensure you aren’t stuck in damp, cold and uncomfortable layers all day long. Don’t forget to pack an extra pair of socks, too.
Consider your food options
Grilling and tailgating go hand in hand, but if the weather really isn’t cooperating, you might want to opt for prepared or prepackaged foods that won’t require any outdoor cooking. Try to avoid grilling or having an open flame under a canopy or tent, as it can damage the material and pose safety risks.
Watch the weather
Tailgating in some light or moderate rain showers may not be an issue, but you should always keep an eye on any potential storm warning. If you notice any thunder, lightning or strong winds, your safest bet is to wait it out in your car or reschedule if necessary.
Have an alternative plan
Even if you plan accordingly and have all the right gear, you still can’t always be certain what nature will throw your way. If you find the rain is just too hard or there is a potential for hazardous conditions, it is always a good idea to have a backup plan for you and your friends.
What you need for rainy tailgating
Canopy
ABCCANOPY Outdoor Easy Pop-Up Canopy Tent
A must-have item for rainy tailgating parties is a sturdy pop-up canopy. This affordable option will allow several people to comfortably sit and relax while out of the rain, and can also be used for shade and UV protection on sunny days. Available in different colors and sizes, the optional sidewalls add even more protection when the winds pick up.
Sold by Amazon
Chair
Sport-Brella 3-Position Recliner Chair With Removable Umbrella
A comfortable chair is essential for any proper tailgating get-together. This reclining Sport-Brella model not only features convenient cup holders, storage pouches and a built-in bottle opener, but also sports a detachable umbrella, offering both rain and sun protection for maximum versatility.
Sold by Amazon
Umbrella
Totes Signature Clear Umbrella
Sometimes the best rain protection is as simple as a classic umbrella. This Totes clear umbrella has a unique dome shape and uses transparent material so you can stay dry without obstructing your view. It is also windproof, so you won’t have to worry about a strong gust turning the umbrella inside out.
Sold by Amazon
Rain jacket
Columbia Men’s Watertight II Jacket
For full waterproof protection while tailgating before the big game, the Columbia Watertight II Jacket is a reasonably priced and reliable option. The lightweight and packable design doesn’t lack any critical features, as this jacket includes an adjustable hem and cuffs, along with a waterproof hood.
Sold by Amazon, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Backcountry
Marmot Women’s PreCip Eco Jacket
The Marmot PreCip Eco is a durable and trusted option for use in even the hardest downpours. With underarm vents for added breathability, fully sealed seams and the ability to pack down into its own pocket, this recycled nylon jacket is a no-brainer for anyone spending time outside in the rain.
Sold by Backcountry and Amazon
Poncho
Frogg Toggs Ultra-Lite2 Poncho
Some people prefer to use a poncho over a rain jacket simply because they cover more body area and in some cases can allow for more breathability. This Frogg Toggs waterproof and windproof rain poncho is available in a variety of colors and features an adjustable hood, side snaps and stuff sack for easy storage.
Sold by Amazon and Dick’s Sporting Goods
Hat
Outdoor Research Storm AscentShell Rain Cap
Wearing a waterproof cap can add an extra layer of rain protection so you can stay dry from head to toe. This model from Outdoor research uses a breathable design, shedding the rain without causing too much sweat or moisture build-up underneath. It also sports a Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50+ rating, allowing it to double as a sun hat.
Sold by Backcountry and Amazon
Waterproof blanket
Brawntide Large Outdoor Waterproof Blanket
Rainy weather, especially during fall tailgating, usually means colder temperatures. This waterproof blanket utilizes a soft fleece underside and polyurethane-coated exterior, keeping the rain off and your body toasty warm. You can even use it directly on the ground as a waterproof picnic blanket.
Sold by Amazon
Waterproof speaker
Is it really a proper tailgating party without some good music? With an IPX7 rating, the JBL Flip 5 Bluetooth speaker is able to withstand submersion in up to one meter of water for up to 30 minutes, so you can play your favorite tunes no matter how hard it’s raining. It also features up to 12 hours of playtime, meaning you can enjoy the premium sound quality all day long.
Sold by Amazon
Cooler
Every tailgating party needs a quality cooler to keep the food fresh and the drinks ice-cold. The Coleman Xtreme 5 cooler sports an exterior made from a heavy-duty plastic, which will provide ample rain protection while keeping all of the contents protected and easy to access. Plus, you can even use it as extra seating: The lid has a 250-pound weight capacity.

Woman hospitalized after picking up $1 bill at McDonald’s
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - A Kentucky couple is speaking out after the wife claims she overdosed on fentanyl after picking up a dollar bill at McDonald’s.
Renee Parsons said picking up a dollar bill Sunday afternoon at a McDonald’s in Nashville, Tennessee, landed her in the hospital. She believes it was a fentanyl-laced dollar bill, and she had a bad reaction.
“It is like your body is just shutting down,” she said.
Renee Parsons and her husband Justin, of Lexington, Kentucky, were on their way to a work conference in Dallas with two of their children when they stopped at McDonald’s.
“As I was walking inside, there was a dollar on the floor just hanging out, so I picked it up, not thinking anything of it,” Renee Parsons told WSMV.
Within 10 minutes after picking up the dollar, she said her body went numb. She said she could barely talk or breathe before passing out.
“She hadn’t said anything for a while, then she said, ‘Justin, I am sorry. I love you.’ Then she just quit talking,” Justin Parsons said.
The family drove to St. Thomas Ascension Hospital. Paperwork there showed Renee Parsons had an accidental drug overdose.
The couple believes the dollar she picked up was laced with fentanyl. Her husband said he even started to feel symptoms after his wife touched his arm.
“What I do know is how I felt, what happened. It can’t be made up,” Renee Parsons said.
WSMV talked to Dr. Rebecca Donald, a fentanyl expert at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, about the incident.
“I think it is really unlikely the substance this lady got into her system is fentanyl based on the symptoms she had,” Donald said.
Donald is an assistant professor of anesthesiology and pain medicine at Vanderbilt. She said skin-to-skin contact is not a way people are exposed to drugs at levels that would cause them harm.
“It is much more likely for her to have a reaction if she had inadvertently rubbed her nose and exposed that drug to some of the blood vessels in her nose or licked her fingers or rubbed her eyes,” she said.
Donald said it is possible for the drug to get aerosolized and inhaled.
“That would take more of a volume of drug or quantity of drug,” she said. “It is certainly not impossible for that to happen, but one would think it would be a significant amount that you could see it on the hands and dollar bill to get into the air system.”
Donald said someone’s medical history and medications they are taking may also contribute to symptoms. She said fentanyl contaminating anything is a safety threat and could be life-threatening.
Police responded to the hospital on Sunday. A spokesperson told WSMV that officers did not see any sort of residue on the dollar bill, but it was not tested for fentanyl since no one is being charged.
Police are still going to destroy the dollar bill.
Last month, the Perry County Sheriff’s Office said there were two separate incidents in which meth and fentanyl were found in folded dollar bills on a gas station floor. Police said this is not an issue they are seeing in Nashville.

New Jersey health officials reported another 2,340 COVID-19 cases and 10 confirmed deaths on Thursday. The state’s average number of daily cases continues to increase, the data shows.
The statewide rate of transmission was 1.61 on Monday, up from 0.88 on Friday. The Department of Health has not released any updated data on the state’s rate of transmission since Monday.
A transmission rate below 1 is an indication that the outbreak is declining, because each new case is leading to less than one additional case. A transmission rate of 1 means the number of cases have leveled off, while anything above 1 indicates the outbreak is expanding.
New Jersey’s seven-day average for confirmed positive tests is 1,787, up 26% from a week ago and up 35% from a month ago.
The CDC now considers Bergen County to have “high” community levels of COVID-19. Mercer County has “low” community levels, while the remaining 19 counties in the state are considered “medium.”
There were 1,280 patients with confirmed or suspected coronavirus cases reported across 70 of the state’s 71 hospitals as of Wednesday night. One hospital did not report data. Of those hospitalized, 142 are in intensive care and 52 are on ventilators.
The statewide positivity rate for tests conducted Nov. 26, the most recent day for which data is available, was 10.96%.
The CDC considers positivity rates above 10% to be “high.” New Jersey’s statewide positivity rate is substantially lower than its peak of 40.83% on Jan. 1 during the height of the omicron variant.
TOTAL NUMBERS

Nearly 80 Korean War Veterans to Attend Reception that Honors Veterans of the
Battle of Chosin Reservoir and are known as 'The Chosin Few'
ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- StarKist Co., which is headquartered in Reston, VA, and its parent company, Dongwon of Seoul, South Korea, was proud to sponsor a luncheon today for more than 80 Korean War veterans.

GENEVA (AP) — The organizer of the Eurovision Song Contest said Friday that it will start talks with the BBC on possibly holding next year’s event in the U.K. after concluding that it can’t be held in Ukraine. Kyiv said it disagreed with the decision and called for “additional negotiations.”
The event is traditionally staged by the previous year’s winner. Last month, Ukrainian band Kalush Orchestra won the 2022 contest, pushing Britain into the runner-up spot thanks to a surge of popular votes from viewers. The win buoyed Ukrainian spirits amid the Russian invasion.
Ukraine’s public broadcaster, UA:PBC, has staged the event twice before, in 2005 and 2017. The European Broadcasting Union said it had carried out “a full assessment and feasibility study” on the possibility of it doing so again.
It said the contest is one of the world’s most complex television productions and needs 12 months of preparation time.
The contest’s governing board “has with deep regret concluded that, given the current circumstances, the security and operational guarantees required for a broadcaster to host, organize and produce the Eurovision Song Contest” under the event’s rules cannot be fulfilled by the Ukrainian broadcaster, the EBU said in a statement.
It said it shares the broadcaster’s “sadness and disappointment that next year’s Contest cannot be held in Ukraine.”
“It is our full intention that Ukraine’s win will be reflected in next year’s shows,” the EBU said. “This will be a priority for us in our discussions with the eventual hosts.”
In a statement, Ukraine’s Culture Minister Oleksandr Tkachenko, UA:PBC’s supervisory board chairman and the country’s three Eurovision winners to date pushed back against the decision, arguing that holding the contest in Ukraine would send a “strong signal” of support.
“We will demand to change this decision, because we believe that we will be able to fulfill all the commitments we have made,” the statement said. “That is why we demand additional negotiations on hosting Eurovision 2023 in Ukraine.”
The BBC said in a statement that “clearly these aren’t a set of circumstances that anyone would want,” but that after the EBU decision “we will of course discuss the BBC hosting the Eurovision Song Contest.”
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s spokesman, Jamie Davies, said “Ukraine’s victory in the Eurovision Song Contest was richly deserved” and Britain had hoped to see next year’s event held in the winning country.
If that proved impossible, he said, “we would welcome the opportunity to work closely with Ukraine and the BBC to host it here in the U.K.”
He said Britain would ensure the event reflected “Ukraine’s rich culture, heritage and creativity.”

Yung Miami usually posts enticing pictures on her social media when she’s not rocking out on stage or slaying like the fashion diva she is on red carpets. This weekend was no different as the “Good Love” rapper took to her Instagram to show off her butt-length blonde tresses. The hot pictures showed Yung Miami taking a selfie of the back of her hair in a luxurious bathroom mirror. The artist wore a thong lingerie look, and her blonde mane swept her exposed derrière. Also included in the carousel of pictures were Yung Miami showing off her body in the lingerie, a tweet from a fan that read, “I love cares I wanna be caresha,” and a video that captured the “Take Yo Man” lyricist’s body and hairstyle in motion. Yung Miami captioned the post, “Blondes have more fun.” And, of course, her followers ate the pictures up!
Yung Miami continued her blonde hair flex with another Instagram post she captioned, “dump! ” that included the Caresha Please host in a pink short set, another thong lingerie look, and photos and videos of the star having fun and twerking by herself and with fellow group member JT and a sitting courtside at a basketball game.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — The defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs held their first full-squad workout of training camp Sunday under a bright sunny sky and without All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones.
Coach Andy Reid says he’s not worried yet about the absence of his star lineman, who has yet to report for camp.
“We’ll just see how things go here down the road,” Reid said following Sunday’s practice. “There had been communication, we’ll see where it goes from here and we’ll take it. If you’re not here, we just keep moving, and that’s how we roll. We don’t worry a lot about that. We let it take care of itself and we got great people working on that.”
Jones has yet to report to camp as he seeks a new contract. The 29-year-old is due to make $19.5 million in base salary this season and carries a salary cap hit of almost $28.3 million.
The Chiefs are also motivated to renegotiate his contract. The NFL Players Association public salary cap report Sunday showed the club with just more than $1 million in available cap space.
General manager Brett Veach prefers maintaining a balance of 5 to 10 million in cap space during this time of the year. Hashing out a new long-term extension with Jones would keep him in Kansas City beyond the 2023 season while providing the club with much-needed salary cap relief.
Jones is seeking a new deal that would make him the second-highest-paid player in the league at his position.
Aaron Donald of the Los Angeles Rams currently leads defensive tackles with an annual average salary of $31.67 million. There’s a big gap, however, between Donald and the No. 2 highest-paid tackle, Quinnen Williams. The New York Jets signed Williams to an extension earlier this month averaging $24 million per year.
That leaves a sizable target zone in which a new extension for Jones might fit. His absence from camp suggests the two sides remain far apart in negotiations, and Reid hinted at a change in tone when asked about his communication with the star defensive tackle.
“It’s been good up to just a bit ago,” Reid said. “They’re doing their thing, we’re doing our thing. And we’ll just see where it goes from there.”
While the Chiefs have handed out large contracts to superstars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, Mahomes is currently the seventh-best-paid quarterback at $45 million per year and Kelce ranks No. 3 among tight ends at $14.3 million per season.
Club chairman and CEO Clark Hunt said Sunday he’s not focused on where players rank in salary. He also trusts Veach to make the right decision.
“We really don’t think about it in the context of who’s the highest-paid player in the league, we think about in the context of the Kansas City Chiefs, and what’s best for the organization, not only this year but as we go forward,” Hunt said.
“One of the challenges in the National Football League is the salary cap. And it makes it tough to keep a championship team together. That’s something that Brett and his staff have really focused on. I think they’ve done a fantastic job.”
Daniel Wise, who entered the NFL from Kansas as an undrafted free agent in 2019, stepped into Jones’ place Sunday with the team’s starting defense. Wise has never had a sack in 17 games in the NFL. Jones, meanwhile, has 65 sacks since 2016, trailing only Donald (83) among defensive tackles during that time.
Safety Justin Reid said he’s excited to see young players such as Wise get an opportunity to showcase their skills. The absence of Jones isn’t a distraction, he added.
“He’s a professional, let him do his thing,” Reid said. “I’m focused on the guys here taking care of the (defensive back) room making sure that our young guys are ready to play.”
Middle linebacker Nick Bolton said the leadership of Jones is one thing the team will miss in his absence during camp.
“(It’s) most definitely one of the things I know he brings to the table,” Bolton said. “But again, at the same time, we’re working with the guys we got here, we’re going to come in every single day, put our best efforts forward. And when it gets here, we’ll make sure everybody’s up to speed and competing with him.”
NOTES: Wide receiver Kadarius Toney tweaked his knee returning a punt during warmups and was held out of the remainder of practice as a precaution. Rookie offensive tackle Wanya Morris suffered a hamstring strain Friday during the team’s rookie camp and did not practice Sunday. … Starting running back Isiah Pacheco wore a yellow non-contact jersey Sunday as he returns from offseason surgeries on his shoulder and hand. He did not take part in the 11-on-11 scrimmage Sunday. “We’ll just see where he’s at,” Reid said. “As he goes, he’s got that, you got to kind of watch it, because he’s got that personality, where he’s 100 miles an hour on every play, that’s the reason we put the yellow jersey on him. So he doesn’t do anything crazy to himself, but yet, he wants to stay in football shape, especially for that position, that running back position.”

WASHINGTON, July 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Danaher Corporation (NYSE: DHR) (the "Company") today announced results for the second quarter 2023. Net earnings refer to net earnings attributable to common shareholders.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2023 net earnings were $1.1 billion, or $1.49 per diluted common share and non-GAAP adjusted diluted net earnings per common share were $2.05.
Revenues decreased 7.5% year-over-year to $7.2 billion, with a 7.0% non-GAAP core revenue decrease (due primarily to the impact of lower COVID-19 revenue), including 2.0% non-GAAP base business core revenue growth.
Operating cash flow for the second quarter was $1.9 billion and non-GAAP free cash flow was $1.6 billion.
The Company provides forecasted sales only on a non-GAAP basis because of the difficulty in estimating the other components of GAAP revenue, such as currency translation, acquisitions and divested product lines.
For the third quarter 2023, the Company anticipates that non-GAAP base business core revenue will be down low-single digits year-over-year. For full year 2023, the Company anticipates that non-GAAP base business core revenue growth will be up low-single digits year-over-year.
Rainer M. Blair, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are pleased with our second quarter results which met our expectations, despite a more dynamic operating environment. Our team's consistent execution, paired with better-than-expected performance in our Life Science and Diagnostics businesses, including stronger respiratory testing revenue, helped offset softer demand in bioprocessing."
Blair continued, "We're confident about the bright future ahead for Danaher. The unique combination of our talented team, differentiated portfolio and balance sheet optionality—all powered by the Danaher Business System—provides a strong foundation for creating shareholder value while helping to meaningfully improve human health."
Danaher will discuss its second quarter results and financial guidance for the third quarter and full year during its quarterly investor conference call today starting at 8:00 a.m. ET. The call and an accompanying slide presentation will be webcast on the "Investors" section of Danaher's website, www.danaher.com, under the subheading "Events & Presentations" and additional materials will be posted to the same section of Danaher's website. A replay of the webcast will be available in the same section of Danaher's website shortly after the conclusion of the presentation and will remain available until the next quarterly earnings call.
The conference call can be accessed by dialing 800-245-3047 within the U.S. or by dialing +1 203-518-9708 outside the U.S. a few minutes before the 8:00 a.m. ET start and telling the operator that you are dialing in for Danaher's earnings conference call (Conference ID: DHRQ223).

This information is presented for reference only. A complete copy of Danaher's Form 10-Q financial statements is available
on the Company's website (www.danaher.com).
Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Measures
Each of the non-GAAP measures set forth above should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing Danaher Corporation's ("Danaher" or the "Company") results that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, help our investors:
- with respect to Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Common Share, understand the long-term profitability trends of our business and compare our profitability to prior and future periods and to our peers;
- with respect to core sales and related non-GAAP sales measures, identify underlying growth trends in our business and compare our sales performance with prior and future periods and to our peers; and
- with respect to free cash flow and related non-GAAP cash flow measures (the "FCF Measure"), understand Danaher's ability to generate cash without external financings, strengthen its balance sheet, invest in its business and grow its business through acquisitions and other strategic opportunities (although a limitation of free cash flow is that it does not take into account the Company's debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures, and as a result the entire free cash flow amount is not necessarily available for discretionary expenditures).
We expect overall demand for the Company's COVID-19 related products to continue moderating as the pandemic has evolved toward endemic status. We believe certain demand for the Company's products that support COVID-19 related vaccines and therapeutics (including initiatives that seek to prevent or mitigate similar, future pandemics) and COVID-19 testing will continue, though that demand will likely be uncertain and will vary from period to period. At the beginning of 2022, the Company believed that on a relative basis, the level of ongoing demand for products supporting COVID-19 testing would be subject to more fluctuations in demand than the level of demand for products supporting COVID-19 related vaccines and therapeutics, due in part to expected COVID-19 case levels, vaccination rates and use of therapies. However, as a result of lower vaccination rates and the spread of less severe variants of the virus, 2022 demand for the Company's products supporting COVID-19 related vaccines and therapeutics fluctuated and declined more than anticipated at the beginning of the year. Therefore, beginning with the first quarter of 2023, we have revised the definition of "base business core sales growth" on a basis that not only excludes revenues related to COVID-19 testing but also excludes revenues from products that support COVID-19 related vaccines and therapeutics. We believe this adjusted definition of "base business core sales growth" provides more useful information to investors by facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our financial performance and identifying underlying growth trends in the Company's business that otherwise may be obscured by fluctuations in demand for COVID-19 related products.
Management uses the non-GAAP measures referenced above to measure the Company's operating and financial performance, and uses core sales and non-GAAP measures similar to Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Common Share and the FCF Measure in the Company's executive compensation program.
The items excluded from the non-GAAP measures set forth above have been excluded for the following reasons:
- With respect to Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Common Share:
- With respect to adjusted average common stock and common equivalent shares outstanding, Danaher's Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock ("MCPS") Series A converted into Danaher common stock on April 15, 2022 and the MCPS Series B mandatorily converted into Danaher common stock on the mandatory conversion date of April 17, 2023 (unless converted or redeemed earlier in accordance with the terms of the applicable certificate of designations). With respect to the calculation of Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Common Share, we apply the "if converted" method of share dilution to the MCPS Series A and B in all applicable periods irrespective of whether such preferred shares would be dilutive or anti-dilutive in the period. We believe this presentation provides useful information to investors by helping them understand what the net impact will be on Danaher's earnings per share-related measures once the MCPS convert into Danaher common stock.
- With respect to core sales related measures, (1) we exclude the impact of currency translation because it is not under management's control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends, and (2) we exclude the effect of acquisitions and divested product lines because the timing, size, number and nature of such transactions can vary significantly from period-to-period and between us and our peers, which we believe may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult.
- With respect to the FCF Measure, we exclude payments for additions to property, plant and equipment (net of the proceeds from capital disposals) to demonstrate the amount of operating cash flow for the period that remains after accounting for the Company's capital expenditure requirements.
The Company provides forecasted sales only on a non-GAAP basis because of the difficulty in estimating the other components of GAAP revenue, such as currency translation, acquisitions and divested product lines. Additionally, we do not reconcile adjusted operating profit margin (or components thereof) to the comparable GAAP measures because of the difficulty in estimating the other unknown components such as investment gains and losses, impairments and separation costs, which would be reflected in any forecasted GAAP operating profit.

New Real-World Evidence Highlights AMGEVITA® Utilization, Treatment Satisfaction and Persistence in European Patients
New Data From First-in-Class Treatment TAVNEOS®, Evaluating Renal Function Among Adults Living With Severe Active ANCA-Associated Vasculitis
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., Nov. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) today announced that clinical and real-world data across its broad portfolio of established treatments and pipeline assets will be presented at the annual American College of Rheumatology Convergence (ACR), taking place in Philadelphia on Nov. 10-14, 2022.
Among 25 abstracts, noteworthy presentations will include real-world evidence for AMGEVITA®* (adalimumab), underscoring treatment satisfaction and persistence in German patients with rheumatic diseases. Additional data will highlight utilization in European patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis.
Other research highlights include data on TAVNEOS® (avacopan) in severe active anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis, notably an oral presentation on evaluation of recovery of renal function among patients with baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at or below 20; renal function is impaired in the majority of people with the disease. Additionally, two real-world evidence posters report on the effects of Otezla® (apremilast) on cardiometabolic parameters in patients with psoriatic disease.
"Given the uptake of biosimilars, we are looking forward to presenting real-world evidence data from the experiences of patients using AMGEVITA, since it was approved in Europe four years ago," said David M. Reese, M.D., executive vice president of Research and Development at Amgen. "The breadth of data being presented reflects our deep commitment to driving innovation in inflammatory diseases."
*AMJEVITA™ outside the US is marketed as AMGEVITA. AMJEVITA is currently not available commercially and will not be commercially available in the United States until on or after January 31, 2023.

ABOUT AMJEVITA® (adalimumab-atto) in the U.S.
AMJEVITA is a biosimilar to adalimumab, an anti-TNF-α monoclonal antibody. The active ingredient of AMJEVITA is an anti-TNF-α monoclonal antibody that has the same amino acid sequence as, and is highly similar to, adalimumab. AMJEVITA will be delivered in prefilled syringe and autoinjector presentations to support dosing in each of the approved indications.
AMJEVITA is not currently available commercially. This not an offer for sale. The following information is derived from the approved label.
AMJEVITA is indicated, alone or in combination with methotrexate or other non-biologic DMARDs, for reducing signs and symptoms, inducing major clinical response, inhibiting the progression of structural damage, and improving physical function in adult patients with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis.
AMJEVITA is indicated, alone or in combination with methotrexate, for reducing signs and symptoms of moderately to severely active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis in patients 4 years of age and older.
AMJEVITA is indicated, alone or in combination with non-biologic DMARDs, for reducing signs and symptoms, inhibiting the progression of structural damage, and improving physical function in adult patients with active psoriatic arthritis.
AMJEVITA is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms in adult patients with active ankylosing spondylitis.
AMJEVITA is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms and inducing and maintaining clinical remission in adult patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease who have had an inadequate response to conventional therapy, and reducing signs and symptoms and inducing clinical remission in these patients if they have also lost response to or are intolerant to infliximab.
AMJEVITA is indicated for inducing and sustaining clinical remission in adult patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who have had an inadequate response to immunosuppressants such as corticosteroids, azathioprine, or 6-mercaptopurine. The effectiveness of adalimumab products has not been established in patients who have lost response to or were intolerant to TNF blockers.
AMJEVITA is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy, and when other systemic therapies are medically less appropriate. AMJEVITA should only be administered to patients who will be closely monitored and have regular follow-up visits with a physician.
IMPORTANT U.S. SAFETY INFORMATION
SERIOUS INFECTIONS
Patients treated with AMJEVITA are at increased risk for developing serious infections that may lead to hospitalization or death. Most patients who developed these infections were taking concomitant immunosuppressants such as methotrexate or corticosteroids.
Discontinue AMJEVITA if a patient develops a serious infection or sepsis.
Reported infections include:
- Active tuberculosis (TB), including reactivation of latent TB. Patients with TB have frequently presented with disseminated or extrapulmonary disease. Test patients for latent TB before AMJEVITA use and during therapy. Initiate treatment for latent TB prior to AMJEVITA use.
- Invasive fungal infections, including histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, candidiasis, aspergillosis, blastomycosis, and pneumocystosis. Patients with histoplasmosis or other invasive fungal infections may present with disseminated, rather than localized, disease. Antigen and antibody testing for histoplasmosis may be negative in some patients with active infection. Consider empiric anti-fungal therapy in patients at risk for invasive fungal infections who develop severe systemic illness.
- Bacterial, viral, and other infections due to opportunistic pathogens, including Legionella and Listeria.
Carefully consider the risks and benefits of treatment with AMJEVITA prior to initiating therapy in patients: 1. with chronic or recurrent infection, 2. who have been exposed to TB, 3. with a history of opportunistic infection, 4. who resided in or traveled in regions where mycoses are endemic, 5. with underlying conditions that may predispose them to infection. Monitor patients closely for the development of signs and symptoms of infection during and after treatment with AMJEVITA, including the possible development of TB in patients who tested negative for latent TB infection prior to initiating therapy.
- Do not start AMJEVITA during an active infection, including localized infections.
- Patients older than 65 years, patients with co-morbid conditions, and/or patients taking concomitant immunosuppressants may be at greater risk of infection.
- If an infection develops, monitor carefully and initiate appropriate therapy.
- Drug interactions with biologic products: A higher rate of serious infections has been observed in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients treated with rituximab who received subsequent treatment with a TNF blocker. An increased risk of serious infections has been seen with the combination of TNF blockers with anakinra or abatacept, with no demonstrated added benefit in patients with RA. Concomitant administration of AMJEVITA with other biologic DMARDs (e.g., anakinra or abatacept) or other TNF blockers is not recommended based on the possible increased risk for infections and other potential pharmacological interactions.
MALIGNANCY
Lymphoma and other malignancies, some fatal, have been reported in children and adolescent patients treated with TNF blockers including adalimumab products. Postmarketing cases of hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL), a rare type of T-cell lymphoma, have been reported in patients treated with TNF blockers including adalimumab products. These cases have had a very aggressive disease course and have been fatal. The majority of reported TNF-blocker cases have occurred in patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis and the majority were in adolescent and young adult males. Almost all of these patients had received treatment with azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine concomitantly with a TNF blocker at or prior to diagnosis. It is uncertain whether the occurrence of HSTCL is related to use of a TNF blocker or a TNF blocker in combination with these other immunosuppressants.
- Consider the risks and benefits of AMJEVITA prior to initiating or continuing therapy in a patient with known malignancy.
- In clinical trials of some TNF blockers, including adalimumab products, more cases of malignancies were observed among TNF-blocker-treated patients compared to control patients.
- Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) was reported during clinical trials for adalimumab-treated patients. Examine all patients, particularly those with a history of prolonged immunosuppressant or PUVA therapy, for the presence of NMSC prior to and during treatment with AMJEVITA.
- In adalimumab clinical trials, there was an approximate 3-fold higher rate of lymphoma than expected in the general U.S. population. Patients with chronic inflammatory diseases, particularly those with highly active disease and/or chronic exposure to immunosuppressant therapies, may be at higher risk of lymphoma than the general population, even in the absence of TNF blockers.
- Postmarketing cases of acute and chronic leukemia were reported with TNF blocker use. Approximately half of the postmarketing cases of malignancies in children, adolescents, and young adults receiving TNF blockers were lymphomas; other cases included rare malignancies associated with immunosuppression and malignancies not usually observed in children and adolescents.
HYPERSENSITIVITY
Anaphylaxis and angioneurotic edema have been reported following administration of adalimumab products. If a serious allergic reaction occurs, stop AMJEVITA and institute appropriate therapy.
HEPATITIS B VIRUS REACTIVATION
Use of TNF blockers, including AMJEVITA, may increase the risk of reactivation of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in patients who are chronic carriers. Some cases have been fatal. Evaluate patients at risk for HBV infection for prior evidence of HBV infection before initiating TNF blocker therapy. Exercise caution in patients who are carriers of HBV and monitor them during and after AMJEVITA treatment. Discontinue AMJEVITA and begin antiviral therapy in patients who develop HBV reactivation. Exercise caution when resuming AMJEVITA after HBV treatment.
NEUROLOGIC REACTIONS
TNF blockers, including adalimumab products, have been associated with rare cases of new onset or exacerbation of central nervous system and peripheral demyelinating diseases, including multiple sclerosis, optic neuritis, and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Exercise caution when considering AMJEVITA for patients with these disorders; discontinuation of AMJEVITA should be considered if any of these disorders develop.
HEMATOLOGICAL REACTIONS
Rare reports of pancytopenia, including aplastic anemia, have been reported with TNF blockers. Medically significant cytopenia has been infrequently reported with adalimumab products. Consider stopping AMJEVITA if significant hematologic abnormalities occur.
CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE
Worsening or new onset congestive heart failure (CHF) has been reported with TNF blockers. Cases of worsening CHF have been observed with adalimumab products; exercise caution and monitor carefully.
AUTOIMMUNITY
Treatment with adalimumab products may result in the formation of autoantibodies and, rarely, in development of a lupus-like syndrome. Discontinue treatment if symptoms of a lupus-like syndrome develop.
IMMUNIZATIONS
Patients on AMJEVITA should not receive live vaccines. Pediatric patients, if possible, should be brought up to date with all immunizations before initiating AMJEVITA therapy. Adalimumab is actively transferred across the placenta during the third trimester of pregnancy and may affect immune response in the in utero exposed infant. The safety of administering live or live-attenuated vaccines in infants exposed to adalimumab products in utero is unknown. Risks and benefits should be considered prior to vaccinating (live or live-attenuated) exposed infants.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most common adverse reactions in adalimumab clinical trials (>10%) were: infections (e.g., upper respiratory, sinusitis), injection site reactions, headache, and rash.
Please see full AMJEVITA Prescribing Information, including Medication Guide.

About Systemic Lupus Erythematosus & AMG 592 (efavaleukin alfa)
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that can impact multiple organ systems. Efavaleukin alfa is an IL-2 mutein Fc fusion protein. It is being investigated for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, including SLE.
About ENBREL (etanercept)
ENBREL is a soluble form of a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor with a clinical efficacy and safety profile established over 20 years of collective clinical experience. ENBREL was first approved in 1998 for moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis. ENBREL was approved in 1999 to treat moderate-to-severe polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis, in 2002 to treat psoriatic arthritis, in 2003 for the treatment of patients with ankylosing spondylitis, in 2004 to treat moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in adults, and in 2016 the moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis indication was expanded to include patients 4 years or older. Prescription ENBREL is given by injection.
ENBREL U.S. Important Safety Information
Patients treated with ENBREL are at increased risk for developing serious infections that may lead to hospitalization or death. Most patients who developed these infections were taking concomitant immunosuppressants such as methotrexate or corticosteroids or were predisposed to infection because of their underlying disease. ENBREL should not be initiated in the presence of sepsis, active infections, or allergy to ENBREL or its components. ENBREL should be discontinued if a patient develops a serious infection or sepsis. Reported infections include: 1) Active tuberculosis (TB), including reactivation of latent TB. Patients with TB have frequently presented with disseminated or extrapulmonary disease. Patients should be tested for latent TB before ENBREL use and periodically during therapy. Treatment for latent infection should be initiated prior to ENBREL use, 2) Invasive fungal infections, including histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, candidiasis, aspergillosis, blastomycosis, and pneumocystosis. Patients with histoplasmosis or other invasive fungal infections may present with disseminated, rather than localized, disease. Antigen and antibody testing for histoplasmosis may be negative in some patients with active infection. Empiric antifungal therapy should be considered in patients at risk for invasive fungal infections who develop severe systemic illness, and 3) Bacterial, viral, and other infections due to opportunistic pathogens, including Legionella and Listeria.
The risks and benefits of treatment with ENBREL should be carefully considered prior to initiating therapy in patients 1) with chronic or recurrent infection, 2) who have been exposed to TB, 3) who have resided or traveled in areas of endemic TB or endemic mycoses, or 4) with underlying conditions that may predispose them to infections such as advanced or poorly controlled diabetes. Patients should be closely monitored for the development of signs and symptoms of infection during and after treatment with ENBREL, including the possible development of TB in patients who tested negative for latent TB prior to initiating therapy.
Lymphoma and other malignancies, some fatal, have been reported in children and adolescent patients treated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockers, including ENBREL.
In adult clinical trials of all TNF blockers, more cases of lymphoma were seen compared to control patients. The risk of lymphoma may be up to several-fold higher in RA patients. The role of TNF blocker therapy in the development of malignancies is unknown. Cases of acute and chronic leukemia have been reported in association with postmarketing TNF blocker use in RA and other indications. The risk of leukemia may be higher in patients with RA (approximately 2-fold) than the general population. Melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) have been reported in patients treated with TNF blockers, including ENBREL. Periodic skin examinations should be considered for all patients at increased risk for skin cancer. In patients who initiated therapy at ≤ 18 years of age, approximately half of the reported malignancies were lymphomas (Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma). Other cases included rare malignancies usually associated with immunosuppression and malignancies that are not usually observed in children and adolescents. Most of the patients were receiving concomitant immunosuppressants.
Treatment with TNF-blocking agents, including ENBREL, has been associated with rare (< 0.1%) cases of new onset or exacerbation of central nervous system demyelinating disorders, some presenting with mental status changes and some associated with permanent disability, and with peripheral nervous system demyelinating disorders. Cases of transverse myelitis, optic neuritis, multiple sclerosis, Guillain-Barré syndromes, other peripheral demyelinating neuropathies, and new onset or exacerbation of seizure disorders have been reported in post marketing experience with ENBREL therapy. Prescribers should exercise caution in considering the use of ENBREL in patients with preexisting or recent-onset central or peripheral nervous system demyelinating disorders.
Cases of worsening congestive heart failure (CHF) and, rarely, new-onset cases have been reported in patients taking ENBREL. Caution should be used when using ENBREL in patients with CHF. These patients should be carefully monitored. Rare cases of pancytopenia, including aplastic anemia, some fatal, have been reported. The causal relationship to ENBREL therapy remains unclear. Exercise caution when considering ENBREL in patients who have a previous history of significant hematologic abnormalities. Advise patients to seek immediate medical attention if they develop signs or symptoms of blood dyscrasias or infection. Consider discontinuing ENBREL if significant hematologic abnormalities are confirmed. Reactivation of hepatitis B has been reported in patients who were previously infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and received concomitant TNF-blocking agents, including ENBREL. Most reports occurred in patients also taking immunosuppressive agents, which may contribute to hepatitis B reactivation. Exercise caution when considering ENBREL in these patients.
Allergic reactions associated with administration of ENBREL during clinical trials have been reported in < 2% of patients. If an anaphylactic reaction or other serious allergic reaction occurs, administration of ENBREL should be discontinued immediately and appropriate therapy initiated. Live vaccines should not be administered to patients on ENBREL. Pediatric patients, if possible, should be brought up to date with all immunizations prior to initiating ENBREL. In patients with exposure to varicella virus, temporarily discontinue ENBREL and consider prophylactic treatment with Varicella Zoster Immune Globulin. Autoantibodies may develop with ENBREL, and rarely lupus-like syndrome or autoimmune hepatitis may occur. These may resolve upon withdrawal of ENBREL. Stop ENBREL if lupus-like syndrome or autoimmune hepatitis develops. The use of ENBREL in patients with Wegener's granulomatosis receiving immunosuppressive agents (e.g., cyclophosphamide) is not recommended. Based on a study of patients treated for alcoholic hepatitis, exercise caution when using ENBREL in patients with moderate-to-severe alcoholic hepatitis.
The most commonly reported adverse reactions in RA clinical trials were injection site reaction and infection. In clinical trials of all other adult indications, adverse reactions were similar to those reported in RA clinical trials. In general, the adverse reactions in pediatric patients were similar in frequency and type as those seen in adult patients. The types of infections reported in pediatric patients were generally mild and consistent with those commonly seen in the general pediatric population.
The use of ENBREL in patients receiving concurrent cyclophosphamide therapy is not recommended. The risk of serious infection may increase with concomitant use of abatacept therapy. Concurrent therapy with ENBREL and anakinra is not recommended. Hypoglycemia has been reported following initiation of ENBREL therapy in patients receiving medication for diabetes, necessitating a reduction in anti-diabetic medication in some of these patients.
Please see ENBREL full Prescribing Information.
About EVENITY® (romosozumab-aqqg)
EVENITY is a bone-building humanized monoclonal antibody. It is designed to work by inhibiting the activity of sclerostin, which simultaneously results in increased bone formation and to a lesser extent decreased bone resorption. The EVENITY development program includes 19 clinical studies that enrolled more than 14,000 patients. EVENITY has been studied for its potential to reduce the risk of fractures in an extensive global Phase 3 program that included two large fracture trials comparing EVENITY to either placebo or active comparator in nearly 12,000 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Amgen and UCB are co-developing EVENITY.
EVENITY® U.S. Indication
EVENITY® is indicated for the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at high risk for fracture, defined as a history of osteoporotic fracture, or multiple risk factors for fracture; or patients who have failed or are intolerant to other available osteoporosis therapy.
The anabolic effect of EVENITY® wanes after 12 monthly doses of therapy. Therefore, the duration of EVENITY® use should be limited to 12 monthly doses. If osteoporosis therapy remains warranted, continued therapy with an antiresorptive agent should be considered.
EVENITY® Important U.S. Important Safety Information
POTENTIAL RISK OF MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION, STROKE AND CARDIOVASCULAR DEATH
EVENITY® may increase the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke and cardiovascular death. EVENITY® should not be initiated in patients who have had a myocardial infarction or stroke within the preceding year. Consider whether the benefits outweigh the risks in patients with other cardiovascular risk factors. Monitor for signs and symptoms of myocardial infarction and stroke and instruct patients to seek prompt medical attention if symptoms occur. If a patient experiences a myocardial infarction or stroke during therapy, EVENITY® should be discontinued.
In a randomized controlled trial in postmenopausal women, there was a higher rate of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), a composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction and nonfatal stroke, in patients treated with EVENITY® compared to those treated with alendronate.
Contraindications: EVENITY® is contraindicated in patients with hypocalcemia. Pre-existing hypocalcemia must be corrected prior to initiating therapy with EVENITY®. EVENITY® is contraindicated in patients with a history of systemic hypersensitivity to romosozumab or to any component of the product formulation. Reactions have included angioedema, erythema multiforme, and urticaria.
Hypersensitivity: Hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema, erythema multiforme, dermatitis, rash, and urticaria have occurred in EVENITY®-treated patients. If an anaphylactic or other clinically significant allergic reaction occurs, initiate appropriate therapy and discontinue further use of EVENITY®.
Hypocalcemia: Hypocalcemia has occurred in patients receiving EVENITY®. Correct hypocalcemia prior to initiating EVENITY®. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of hypocalcemia, particularly in patients with severe renal impairment or receiving dialysis. Adequately supplement patients with calcium and vitamin D while on EVENITY®.
Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (ONJ): ONJ, which can occur spontaneously, is generally associated with tooth extraction and/or local infection with delayed healing, and has been reported in patients receiving EVENITY®. A routine oral exam should be performed by the prescriber prior to initiation of EVENITY®. Concomitant administration of drugs associated with ONJ (chemotherapy, bisphosphonates, denosumab, angiogenesis inhibitors, and corticosteroids) may increase the risk of developing ONJ. Other risk factors for ONJ include cancer, radiotherapy, poor oral hygiene, pre-existing dental disease or infection, anemia, and coagulopathy.
For patients requiring invasive dental procedures, clinical judgment should guide the management plan of each patient. Patients who are suspected of having or who develop ONJ should receive care by a dentist or an oral surgeon. In these patients, dental surgery to treat ONJ may exacerbate the condition. Discontinuation of EVENITY® should be considered based on benefit-risk assessment.
Atypical Femoral Fractures: Atypical low-energy or low trauma fractures of the femoral shaft have been reported in patients receiving EVENITY®. Causality has not been established as these fractures also occur in osteoporotic patients who have not been treated.
During EVENITY® treatment, patients should be advised to report new or unusual thigh, hip, or groin pain. Any patient who presents with thigh or groin pain should be evaluated to rule out an incomplete femur fracture. Interruption of EVENITY® therapy should be considered based on benefit-risk assessment.
Adverse Reactions: The most common adverse reactions (≥ 5%) reported with EVENITY® were arthralgia and headache.
EVENITY® is a humanized monoclonal antibody. As with all therapeutic proteins, there is potential for immunogenicity.
Please see EVENITY® full Prescribing Information, including Medication Guide.
About Otezla® (apremilast)
Otezla® (apremilast) is an oral small-molecule inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) specific for cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). PDE4 inhibition results in increased intracellular cAMP levels, which is thought to indirectly modulate the production of inflammatory mediators. The specific mechanism(s) by which Otezla exerts its therapeutic action in patients is not well defined.
Since its initial FDA approval in 2014, Otezla has been prescribed to more than 700,000 patients worldwide.
Otezla® (apremilast) U.S. INDICATIONS
Otezla® (apremilast) is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with plaque psoriasis who are candidates for phototherapy or systemic therapy.
Otezla is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with active psoriatic arthritis.
Otezla is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with oral ulcers associated with Behçet's Disease.
Otezla® (apremilast) U.S. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Contraindications
- Otezla is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to apremilast or to any of the excipients in the formulation
Warnings and Precautions
- Hypersensitivity reactions: Hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema and anaphylaxis, have been reported during postmarketing surveillance. If signs or symptoms of serious hypersensitivity reactions occur, discontinue Otezla and institute appropriate therapy
- Diarrhea, Nausea, and Vomiting: Cases of severe diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting were associated with the use of Otezla. Most events occurred within the first few weeks of treatment. In some cases, patients were hospitalized. Patients 65 years of age or older and patients taking medications that can lead to volume depletion or hypotension may be at a higher risk of complications from severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. Monitor patients who are more susceptible to complications of diarrhea or vomiting; advise patients to contact their healthcare provider. Consider Otezla dose reduction or suspension if patients develop severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting
- Depression: Carefully weigh the risks and benefits of treatment with Otezla for patients with a history of depression and/or suicidal thoughts/behavior, or in patients who develop such symptoms while on Otezla. Patients, caregivers, and families should be advised of the need to be alert for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidal thoughts or other mood changes, and they should contact their healthcare provider if such changes occur
- Weight Decrease: Monitor body weight regularly; evaluate unexplained or clinically significant weight loss, and consider discontinuation of Otezla
- Drug Interactions: Apremilast exposure was decreased when Otezla was co-administered with rifampin, a strong CYP450 enzyme inducer; loss of Otezla efficacy may occur. Concomitant use of Otezla with CYP450 enzyme inducers (e.g., rifampin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine, phenytoin) is not recommended
Adverse Reactions
- Plaque Psoriasis: The most common adverse reactions (≥ 5%) are diarrhea, nausea, upper respiratory tract infection, and headache, including tension headache. Overall, the safety profile of Otezla in patients with mild to moderate plaque psoriasis was consistent with the safety profile previously established in adult patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis

Hypocalcemia may worsen with the use of Prolia®, especially in patients with severe renal impairment. In patients predisposed to hypocalcemia and disturbances of mineral metabolism, including treatment with other calcium-lowering drugs, clinical monitoring of calcium and mineral levels is highly recommended within 14 days of Prolia® injection. Concomitant use of calcimimetic drugs may worsen hypocalcemia risk and serum calcium should be closely monitored. Adequately supplement all patients with calcium and vitamin D.
Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (ONJ)
ONJ, which can occur spontaneously, is generally associated with tooth extraction and/or local infection with delayed healing, and has been reported in patients receiving Prolia®. An oral exam should be performed by the prescriber prior to initiation of Prolia®. A dental examination with appropriate preventive dentistry is recommended prior to treatment in patients with risk factors for ONJ such as invasive dental procedures, diagnosis of cancer, concomitant therapies (e.g., chemotherapy, corticosteroids, angiogenesis inhibitors), poor oral hygiene, and co-morbid disorders. Good oral hygiene practices should be maintained during treatment with Prolia®. The risk of ONJ may increase with duration of exposure to Prolia®.
For patients requiring invasive dental procedures, clinical judgment should guide the management plan of each patient. Patients who are suspected of having or who develop ONJ should receive care by a dentist or an oral surgeon. Extensive dental surgery to treat ONJ may exacerbate the condition. Discontinuation of Prolia® should be considered based on individual benefit-risk assessment.
Atypical Femoral Fractures
Atypical low-energy, or low trauma fractures of the shaft have been reported in patients receiving Prolia®. Causality has not been established as these fractures also occur in osteoporotic patients who have not been treated with antiresorptive agents.
During Prolia® treatment, patients should be advised to report new or unusual thigh, hip, or groin pain. Any patient who presents with thigh or groin pain should be evaluated to rule out an incomplete femur fracture. Interruption of Prolia® therapy should be considered, pending a risk/benefit assessment, on an individual basis.
Multiple Vertebral Fractures (MVF) Following Discontinuation of Prolia® Treatment
Following discontinuation of Prolia® treatment, fracture risk increases, including the risk of multiple vertebral fractures. New vertebral fractures occurred as early as 7 months (on average 19 months) after the last dose of Prolia®. Prior vertebral fracture was a predictor of multiple vertebral fractures after Prolia® discontinuation. Evaluate an individual's benefit/risk before initiating treatment with Prolia®. If Prolia® treatment is discontinued, patients should be transitioned to an alternative antiresorptive therapy.
Serious Infections
In a clinical trial (N= 7808) in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, serious infections leading to hospitalization were reported more frequently in the Prolia® group than in the placebo group. Serious skin infections, as well as infections of the abdomen, urinary tract and ear were more frequent in patients treated with Prolia®.
Endocarditis was also reported more frequently in Prolia®-treated patients. The incidence of opportunistic infections and the overall incidence of infections were similar between the treatment groups. Advise patients to seek prompt medical attention if they develop signs or symptoms of severe infection, including cellulitis.
Patients on concomitant immunosuppressant agents or with impaired immune systems may be at increased risk for serious infections. In patients who develop serious infections while on Prolia®, prescribers should assess the need for continued Prolia® therapy.
Dermatologic Adverse Reactions
In the same clinical trial in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, epidermal and dermal adverse events such as dermatitis, eczema and rashes occurred at a significantly higher rate with Prolia® compared to placebo. Most of these events were not specific to the injection site. Consider discontinuing Prolia® if severe symptoms develop.
Musculoskeletal Pain
Severe and occasionally incapacitating bone, joint, and/or muscle pain has been reported in patients taking Prolia®. Consider discontinuing use if severe symptoms develop.
Suppression of Bone Turnover
In clinical trials in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, Prolia® resulted in significant suppression of bone remodeling as evidenced by markers of bone turnover and bone histomorphometry. The significance of these findings and the effect of long-term treatment are unknown. Monitor patients for these consequences, including ONJ, atypical fractures, and delayed fracture healing.
Adverse Reactions
The most common adverse reactions (>5% and more common than placebo) in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis are back pain, pain in extremity, musculoskeletal pain, hypercholesterolemia, and cystitis. The most common adverse reactions (> 5% and more common than placebo) in men with osteoporosis are back pain, arthralgia, and nasopharyngitis. Pancreatitis has been reported with Prolia®.
In women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, the overall incidence of new malignancies was 4.3% in the placebo group and 4.8% in the Prolia® group. In men with osteoporosis, new malignancies were reported in no patients in the placebo group and 4 (3.3%) patients in the Prolia® group. A causal relationship to drug exposure has not been established.
The most common adverse reactions (> 3% and more common than active-control group) in patients with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis are back pain, hypertension, bronchitis, and headache.
The most common (per patient incidence ≥ 10%) adverse reactions reported with Prolia® in patients with bone loss receiving ADT for prostate cancer or adjuvant AI therapy for breast cancer are arthralgia and back pain. Pain in extremity and musculoskeletal pain have also been reported in clinical trials. Additionally, in Prolia®–treated men with nonmetastatic prostate cancer receiving ADT, a greater incidence of cataracts was observed.
Denosumab is a human monoclonal antibody. As with all therapeutic proteins, there is potential for immunogenicity.

About TAVNEOS® (avacopan)
TAVNEOS (avacopan), approved by the FDA as an adjunctive treatment for adults with severe active ANCA-associated vasculitis, is a first-in-class, orally administered small molecule that employs a novel, highly targeted mode of action in complement-driven autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. While the precise mechanism in ANCA-associated vasculitis has not been definitively established, TAVNEOS, by blocking the complement 5a receptor (C5aR) for the pro-inflammatory complement system fragment known as C5a on destructive inflammatory cells such as blood neutrophils, is presumed to arrest the ability of those cells to do damage in response to C5a activation, which is known to be the driver of ANCA-associated vasculitis.
U.S. PRESCRIBING INFORMATION
TAVNEOS (avacopan) is indicated as an adjunctive treatment of adult patients with severe active anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (granulomatosis with polyangiitis [GPA] and microscopic polyangiitis [MPA]) in combination with standard therapy including glucocorticoids. TAVNEOS does not eliminate glucocorticoid use.
IMPORTANT U.S. SAFETY INFORMATION
Contraindications: Serious hypersensitivity to avacopan or to any of the excipients
Warning and Precautions
Hepatotoxicity: Serious cases of hepatic injury have been observed in patients taking TAVNEOS, including life-threatening events. Obtain liver test panel before initiating TAVNEOS, every 4 weeks after start of therapy for six months and as clinically indicated thereafter. Monitor patients closely for hepatic adverse reactions, and consider pausing or discontinuing treatment as clinically indicated (refer to section 5.1 of the Prescribing Information). TAVNEOS is not recommended for patients with active, untreated and/or uncontrolled chronic liver disease (e.g., chronic active hepatitis B, untreated hepatitis C, uncontrolled autoimmune hepatitis) and cirrhosis. Consider the risk and benefit before administering this drug to a patient with liver disease.
Serious Hypersensitivity Reactions: Cases of angioedema occurred in a clinical trial, including one serious event requiring hospitalization. Discontinue immediately if angioedema occurs and manage accordingly. TAVNEOS must not be re-administered unless another cause has been established.
Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Reactivation: Hepatitis B reactivation, including life threatening hepatitis B, was observed in the clinical program. Screen patients for HBV. For patients with evidence of prior infection, consult with physicians with expertise in HBV and monitor during TAVNEOS therapy and for six months following. If patients develop HBV reactivation, immediately discontinue TAVNEOS and concomitant therapies associated with HBV reactivation, and consult with experts before resuming.
Serious Infections: Serious infections, including fatal infections, have been reported in patients receiving TAVNEOS. The most common serious infections reported in TAVNEOS group were pneumonia and urinary tract infections. Avoid use of TAVNEOS in patients with active, serious infection, including localized infections. Consider the risks and benefits before initiating TAVNEOS in patients with chronic infection, at increased risk of infection or who have been to places where certain infections are common.
Adverse Reactions: The most common adverse reactions (≥5% of patients and higher in the TAVNEOS group vs. prednisone group) were: nausea, headache, hypertension, diarrhea, vomiting, rash, fatigue, upper abdominal pain, dizziness, blood creatinine increased, and paresthesia.
Drug Interactions: Avoid coadministration of TAVNEOS with strong and moderate CYP3A4 enzyme inducers. Reduce TAVNEOS dose when co-administered with strong CYP3A4 enzyme inhibitors to 30 mg once daily. Monitor for adverse reactions and consider dose reduction of certain sensitive CYP3A4 substrates.

No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from those we project. Discovery or identification of new product candidates or development of new indications for existing products cannot be guaranteed and movement from concept to product is uncertain; consequently, there can be no guarantee that any particular product candidate or development of a new indication for an existing product will be successful and become a commercial product. Further, preclinical results do not guarantee safe and effective performance of product candidates in humans. The complexity of the human body cannot be perfectly, or sometimes, even adequately modeled by computer or cell culture systems or animal models. The length of time that it takes for us to complete clinical trials and obtain regulatory approval for product marketing has in the past varied and we expect similar variability in the future. Even when clinical trials are successful, regulatory authorities may question the sufficiency for approval of the trial endpoints we have selected. We develop product candidates internally and through licensing collaborations, partnerships and joint ventures. Product candidates that are derived from relationships may be subject to disputes between the parties or may prove to be not as effective or as safe as we may have believed at the time of entering into such relationship. Also, we or others could identify safety, side effects or manufacturing problems with our products, including our devices, after they are on the market.
Our results may be affected by our ability to successfully market both new and existing products domestically and internationally, clinical and regulatory developments involving current and future products, sales growth of recently launched products, competition from other products including biosimilars, difficulties or delays in manufacturing our products and global economic conditions. In addition, sales of our products are affected by pricing pressure, political and public scrutiny and reimbursement policies imposed by third-party payers, including governments, private insurance plans and managed care providers and may be affected by regulatory, clinical and guideline developments and domestic and international trends toward managed care and healthcare cost containment. Furthermore, our research, testing, pricing, marketing and other operations are subject to extensive regulation by domestic and foreign government regulatory authorities. Our business may be impacted by government investigations, litigation and product liability claims. In addition, our business may be impacted by the adoption of new tax legislation or exposure to additional tax liabilities. If we fail to meet the compliance obligations in the corporate integrity agreement between us and the U.S. government, we could become subject to significant sanctions. Further, while we routinely obtain patents for our products and technology, the protection offered by our patents and patent applications may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by our competitors, or we may fail to prevail in present and future intellectual property litigation. We perform a substantial amount of our commercial manufacturing activities at a few key facilities, including in Puerto Rico, and also depend on third parties for a portion of our manufacturing activities, and limits on supply may constrain sales of certain of our current products and product candidate development. An outbreak of disease or similar public health threat, such as COVID-19, and the public and governmental effort to mitigate against the spread of such disease, could have a significant adverse effect on the supply of materials for our manufacturing activities, the distribution of our products, the commercialization of our product candidates, and our clinical trial operations, and any such events may have a material adverse effect on our product development, product sales, business and results of operations. We rely on collaborations with third parties for the development of some of our product candidates and for the commercialization and sales of some of our commercial products. In addition, we compete with other companies with respect to many of our marketed products as well as for the discovery and development of new products. Further, some raw materials, medical devices and component parts for our products are supplied by sole third-party suppliers. Certain of our distributors, customers and payers have substantial purchasing leverage in their dealings with us. The discovery of significant problems with a product similar to one of our products that implicate an entire class of products could have a material adverse effect on sales of the affected products and on our business and results of operations. Our efforts to collaborate with or acquire other companies, products or technology, and to integrate the operations of companies or to support the products or technology we have acquired, may not be successful.

Renowned jazz pianist Ramsey Lewis dies at 87
CHICAGO (AP) — Renowned jazz pianist Ramsey Lewis, whose music entertained fans over a more than 60-year career that began with the Ramsey Lewis Trio and made him one of the country’s most successful jazz musicians, has died. He was 87.
Lewis is revered in jazz circles for 1960s hits like “The In Crowd,” “Hang on Sloopy” and “Wade in the Water.” He earned three Grammy awards and seven gold records. The trio’s first record in 1956 was “Ramsey Lewis and the Gentlemen of Swing.”
Lewis died Monday in his sleep at his Chicago home, according to his son, Bobby Lewis.
“He was just at peace,” Bobby Lewis told The Associated Press on Monday night. “Most people say when they met dad that he was a class act. He was that way even through his last breath.”
Ramsey Lewis described his approach to composing and performing in a 2011 interview with the AP.
“Life is a solo, and it continues,” Lewis said, sitting at the dining room table in his downtown Chicago home. “I just know that when I put my hands on the piano it’s going to flow.”
Lewis first took piano lessons at age 4. He spent his early days in Chicago using his gospel and classical roots to create his own jazz style in the many neighborhood venues that hired young jazz musicians.
“It gave us a lot of opportunity to try our ideas and learn what it means to perform in front of an audience,” Lewis said as he was named National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master in 2007. He accepted the award from his mentor and fellow Jazz Master, pianist Billy Taylor.
During his career, Lewis performed with musical stars such as Aretha Franklin, Tony Bennett, Al Jarreau and Pat Metheney. Lewis had more than 80 albums to his credit — three dozen of them with Chicago-based Chess Records. He toured around the world and performed at the 1995 state dinner that then-President Bill Clinton hosted for President Fernando Henrique of Brazil.
“I believe that my father — his love for the piano and his passion for the piano and how he coveted this love and how he protected it — that gave him longevity,” Bobby Lewis said. “He recognized the gift God had given him.”
The Chicago native began composing large-scale musical works later in his career. His first was an eight-movement piece for Chicago’s Joffrey Ballet. He also completed a tribute to President Abraham Lincoln — “Proclamation of Hope: A Symphonic Poem by Ramsey Lewis.”
Lewis also hosted radio shows in the 1990s and 2000, including “The Ramsey Lewis Morning Show, on WNUA-FM and the syndicated “Legends of Jazz with Ramsey Lewis.” In 2007, he hosted “Legends of Jazz with Ramsey Lewis,” a weekly program that aired on public television stations nationwide.
The show’s creators said it was the first time jazz was featured on a weekly basis on network television in 40 years. It featured jazz greats and up-and-comers.
Lewis also spent time working on behalf of charities that brought music to young people.
“Ramsey’s passion for music was truly fueled by the love and dedication of his fans across the globe,” his wife, Janet Lewis, said in a Facebook post. “He loved touring and meeting music lovers from so many cultures and walks of life. It was our family’s great pleasure to share Ramsey in this special way with all those who admired his God-given talents.”
Brett Steele, whose Tampa, Florida-based Steele Management represented Lewis since 2011, said Lewis spent the last year of his life working on his memoirs which are completed and scheduled to be published next year.
In addition to his wife and son, Lewis also is survived by daughters Denise Jeffries and Dawn Allain; two other sons Kendall Kelly Lewis and Frayne Lewis; and a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

A 67-year-old woman charged with a hate crime in 2020 for striking a Black man in Winnetka after telling him “you need to go back where you’re from” pleaded guilty to a lesser charge this week and was sentenced to probation and ordered to completed an anti-racism course, officials said Thursday.
Irene Donoshaytis, 67, pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor battery at the Skokie courthouse on Oct. 19, and was sentenced to one year of probation, $519 in court costs and was ordered to completed an anti-racism course, prosecutors said. In exchange for Donoshaytis’ guilty plea, prosecutors dropped the more serious hate crime change.
The plea deal comes a little more than two years after Donoshaytis confronted a Black cyclist attempting to use a public Winnetka pier in August 2020 and told him he did not belong there, then hit him twice on the arm, prosecutors said.
They said Donoshaytis confronted the Skokie resident, his friend and his cousin, stating that they were not allowed to be near the Winnetka pier at 720 Tower Road. All three members of the group are Black, prosecutors said. They said white cyclists who were in the area were not confronted.
The group was relaxing at the pier after a 15-mile bicycle ride when they were approached by Donoshaytis who said, “This is America. This is America, you can’t do this. I’m from Winnetka. You need to go back where you’re from,” said prosecutors.
Donoshaytis then approached a Winnetka Park District employee to complain about the group’s presence, and the Skokie man began recording her with his phone, said prosecutors.
They said the employee told Donoshaytis that the cyclists were sitting on public property and that a beach pass was not required. Donoshaytis disagreed, then turned to the cyclist and asked, “Are you crazy? What, you want to kill me? No? It feels like it,” she’s recorded as saying.
“Why would I want to kill you? Is it because I’m Black?” the man replied.
“Yes,” Donoshaytis said.
At that point, the employee offered to get a supervisor and Donoshaytis is seen moving quickly toward the man’s phone, and the video shakes and cuts off, prosecutors said. They said the man said Donoshaytis hit his arm twice, leaving a bruise. Winnetka police responded and Donoshaytis was later arrested.

Pakistan's Supreme Court has ruled that former Prime Minister Imran Khan's arrest earlier this week was "illegal" and that he should be released immediately.
The announcement came a day after a court announced that Khan can be held for eight days.
Khan was arrested on Tuesday, accused of corruption.
Since his detention, violent clashes erupted across several major Pakistani cities, where pro-Khan supporters denounced the powerful army. On Wednesday night, some protesters tried to set a police station ablaze in the capital city of Islamabad. Others, in rare defiance, publicly questioned the military's role in the day-to-day running of the country.
Amid the chaos, the military accused what they called "evil elements" of inciting attacks against security installations and accused protesters of wanting to push Pakistan into "a civil war."
Police said on Thursday that at least 10 people had died and 2,000 had been arrested.
Khan's Tehreek-e-Insaaf party called his arrest an "abduction" and vowed to challenge it. But Pakistan's Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said Khan was arrested in relation to a case filed in Pakistan's anti-corruption court, which Khan had not attended. Other party leaders have been arrested this week as well.
The political turmoil comes as the country continues to be mired in an economic crisis. Analysts warn that hopes are eroding that the South Asian nation can get a much-needed rescue package from the International Monetary Fund.

Whether you’re an experienced outdoor adventurer with an interest in pushing the limits or a novice camper looking to build out their arsenal of gear and safety equipment, a bear-proof cooler can help increase your peace-of-mind — and more importantly, protect your food, since the last thing you want to do is to wake up after a night of camping only to find that your precious sustenance has been strewn about by wildlife. Furthermore, bear canisters are required at many National Parks, including some of the most and least popular parks, such as Yosemite and Gates of the Arctic National Park. While investing in a bear-proof cooler can protect your food and allow you to follow the rules in the beautiful, but fragile, national park system, finding the right one can be a challenge due to the sheer number of options available and the technical jargon associated with highly-rated models.
What is a bear-proof cooler?
Bear-proofing isn’t as simple as it sounds. The animals have become quite adept at discerning where human food is located over the years, especially as camping becomes more popular and accessible. Modern bear-proof coolers must have a rotomolded, or a similarly strong exterior construction, such as heavy gauge aluminum, a locking lid with internal hinges that a bear can’t reach, and finally some amount of air-tight sealing that helps decrease the smell of the coolers contents (although bears' noses are so sensitive that no cooler can completely hide your supplies from them). As you can imagine, bear-proof coolers, and even their non-cooling counterparts, bear-proof canisters and bags, tend to be heavy and large. In the case of coolers, they are also rigid, and therefore can be difficult to pack, especially for longer trips.
Why you should consider a bear-proof cooler
First and foremost, bears are thought to have the strongest sense of smell in the entire animal kingdom. In fact, their sense of smell is so strong that experts have only been able to estimate that it’s seven times stronger than that of a bloodhound, which has a sense of smell that is roughly 1,000 times stronger than ours. It’s safe to say that if you’re camping anywhere remotely close to bears, they can probably smell you. Because of this, it’s recommended that you don’t try and DIY bear-proof your gear using the traditional method of suspending it in the air on a tree branch; it’s nearly impossible for this to be effective.
Also, bringing a bear-proof cooler on your next trip doesn’t just protect you. If you’re bringing a cooler with you, you probably have food that needs to be refrigerated, which means that it isn’t likely to be found in nature. Bears follow their noses, and while your food may seem like a great midnight snack for a wandering black bear, it’s important to note that your food can also cause them great harm. A recent study published in Scientific Reports found that eating human food can shorten a bear's lifespan and even counteract the benefits of hibernation.
Furthermore, once a bear gets a taste for human food, it will often become increasingly assertive and aggressive in its search for more. Sadly, this often means that park rangers have to euthanize it before it becomes too aggressive and begins to seriously threaten the safety of human visitors. All in all, bear-proof coolers help protect the user as well as the wildlife and environment the user has the fortune to experience and explore.
What to look for when shopping for a bear-proof cooler
Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee (IGBC) certification
The IGBC, which was founded in 1989, is perhaps the most important thing to look for when purchasing a bear-proof cooler. While the IGBC has a number of programs, their bear-proof certification is the industry gold standard because of how rigorously tested each IGBC certified product is. Each IGBC certified product is subjected to a live grizzly bear test which consists of placing food on the inside (and sometimes the outside) of the container, and then placing that container in an nenclosure with multiple bears with varying degrees of experience with containers. IGBC testers will monitor the situation inside the enclosure for 1 hour, and if by that time the container remains closed, intact and 100% functional, it will have passed the test and earned its certification.
Buyer beware, however: always make sure to check the IGBC list of certified products because there are a number of coolers and containers on the market that falsely claim to have an IGBC certification. Be especially wary of companies that claim to offer “USDA certification,” which is a sneaky way to make customers think their product is IGBC certified because USDA is the parent organization of the IGBC.
Material
It’s honestly not worth your time to try to make your cooler completely odorless thanks to the fact that their sense of smell is roughly 7,000 times stronger than ours. However, we do have materials that can withstand powerful slashes or grinding chomps. Keep an eye out for rotomolded coolers, because they tend to have a favorable durability-to-weight ratio. Heavy gauge aluminum is also a great choice because it crushes, rather than cracks. However, aluminum doesn’t offer the same insulation properties as coolers made from rotomolded plastics. If you’re looking for a soft-sided cooler, try and get something that’s made from a durable, tear resistant fabric, such as ballistic polyester.
Adaptable Design
No two camping trips are the same, and the best bear proof coolers will feature adaptable designs that allow them to meet the changing needs of whatever environment it’s in. For example, be on the lookout for coolers that have space for additional, external padlocks as well as an integrated locking system. Or, you may want to invest in a cooler that floats if you’re interested in traveling by land and water. Make sure to consider convenience features as well, such as a padded shoulder strap for longer hikes or even wheels and an extendable handle so you can roll your cooler like a suitcase.
Frequently asked questions about bear proof coolers
Is there a difference between bear-proof and bear-resistant?
No, these terms can be used interchangeably for coolers that have an IGBC certification. The IGBC uses the term bear-resistant, but these products are more commonly referred to as bear-proof in the wider camping and outdoor communities. However, if the product you are looking at isn’t IGBC certified, the company may use “bear-resistant” to avoid potential complaints about poor product quality or, on the other hand, use “bear-proof” to convey a level of quality that guarantees a bear cannot gain access. Keep in mind that no commercially available cooler, even those with IGBC certifications, is guaranteed to prevent all bears from gaining access.
What else can I do to help prevent bears from coming to my campsite?
Keep anything that has a strong odor, such as deodorant or soap, in bear proof canisters. Also, make sure to keep any trash or food waste in a bear resistant container. It should go without saying, but never, under any circumstances, bring food or sweet smelling items into your tent. Cook your food away from your sleeping area, and try to change out of the clothes you cooked in before heading to bed.
In the incredibly unlikely event that your prevention measures aren’t as effective as you’d like, you need to be prepared: Make sure to pack both bear spray and to know what bears you're likely to encounter and be familiar with the safety precautions that are specific to them.
How much do bear proof coolers cost?
Unfortunately, bear proof coolers aren’t exactly cheap. Capacity and brand are the main two determinants of price. Expect to spend around $200 for entry level coolers that offer a great value, such as the 28 quart Basecamp Class from Cordova Outdoors, and upwards of $500 for large high-end models from name brands, such as the YETI Tundra 105.

German government mulls stake in Dutch grid operator TenneT
BERLIN (AP) — The German government says it is considering taking a stake in Dutch grid operator TenneT, which has a large footprint in Germany. Germany already has a minority stake in rival grid operator 50 Hertz and Economy Minister Robert Habeck said Wednesday there were talks with TenneT too. Habeck declined to provide details on the talks but said he considers it “politically wise and necessary” for the state to support the creation of vital public infrastructure such as transmission networks. TenneT operates electricity grids across a large swath of Germany. Those transmission lines are crucial for Germany’s plans to completely shift its power production from fossil fuels to renewable energy by 2045 at the latest.

Simon, Reichenstein bring more than 55 years of litigation experience
DALLAS, Oct. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Two longtime and accomplished business litigators have joined Meadows, Collier, Reed, Cousins, Crouch & Ungerman LLP in Dallas, further strengthening the firm's extensive capabilities in complex commercial litigation.
Craig Simon is a skilled trial lawyer who has represented clients ranging from large public companies to individual entrepreneurs in high-stakes litigation and arbitration across the nation. In a legal career that spans more than 30 years, Mr. Simon has proven adept at successfully prosecuting and defending a wide range of business disputes, including cases involving financial, accounting and valuation issues, bankruptcy and insolvency-related claims, and trade secret and noncompete litigation. He has been repeatedly recognized as one of the Top 100 Lawyers in Texas by Thomson Reuters' Super Lawyers, on the list of the Best Lawyers in America every year since 2016, and among the Best Lawyers in Dallas by D Magazine for nine consecutive years.
Paula Reichenstein has a broad-based litigation background, with experience representing clients in several national and high-profile "bet-the-company" cases as well as a range of contract, business tort and product liability claims for both plaintiffs and defendants. This work has often hinged on the development of novel legal theories or the application of existing laws in unconventional ways. Ms. Reichenstein's practice spans state and federal court as well as appellate work.
"We're honored to have these two distinguished attorneys join our firm, bringing a reputation for excellence and record of success for their clients," says the firm's managing partner, Anthony Daddino. "We're entering an increasingly dynamic time for litigation across virtually every business sector, and their experience and counsel will be invaluable."
Both Mr. Simon and Ms. Reichenstein join the firm from Loewinsohn Deary Simon Ray LLP in Dallas, and each previously practiced for many years in the Dallas office of Jones Day.
Mr. Simon earned his law degree magna cum laude from Southern Methodist University's Dedman School of Law and holds both master's and undergraduate degrees in accounting from The University of Texas in Austin.
Ms. Reichenstein received her law degree cum laude from The University of Texas School of Law, and her undergraduate degree from Colorado State University.
Attorneys with Meadows, Collier, Reed, Cousins, Crouch & Ungerman bring both dedication and experience to clients' legal matters.

Registered voters in Cache County should receive their General Election ballots in the mail by Thursday, if they haven't already.
On the front of the document, voters will find a host of federal, state and county offices up for election.
On the back are two propositions — the Cache County Open Space Bond and the Cache County Recreation, Arts, Parks, and Zoos (RAPZ) Tax Reauthorization.
Cache County Council members voted to put the Open Space Bond on the ballot during their July 26 meeting, letting the voters decide whether to enact the bond even though several of the members themselves are opposed.
If county residents vote for the proposition, it will allow Cache County to pay up to $20 million in general obligation bonds to "protect scenic vistas, preserve open lands near valley gateways, add trails and trail connectivity, and maintain agriculture, waterways, and wildlife habitat.”
The proposition states the county council is to choose which projects receive bond funding “based upon recommendations of an Open Lands Board and subject to periodic independent audit commissioned by the county.”
The bond will be funded through a small increase in property taxes for the next two decades. The Cache Open Space website states a prediction of the cost.
“The bond will cost $2.24 per month for a median household value of $429,000,” the website says. “Businesses will be impacted $0.90 per month per $100,000 FMV (fair market value).”
If voted for, Proposition 2 will renew the county’s RAPZ tax, a 0.1% sales tax that — according to a May 20 Cache County press release — was initially enacted in 2002.
“From 2002 through 2022, organizations in Cache County have been awarded more than $26 million for projects that support recreation, arts, parks, and the zoo,” the press release states. “Three cities, North Logan, Hyde Park and Nibley, have utilized $2 million in RAPZ funds to develop brand new parks as part of an exchange program.”
The release also says RAPZ funds can “be used to fund the operating expenses of private nonprofit organizations to operate as botanical or cultural organizations.”
The county’s website shows that $1,632,250 of RAPZ funding was distributed to local cultural organizations or facilities, recreation facilities and Zootah at Willow Park in 2022 alone. Organizations who receive the money must apply and have their requests approved by the county council.
Early voting runs from Nov. 1 through Nov. 4 during the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Voters can deposit their ballots in ballot boxes in the parking lots of the Hyde Park, Hyrum, Logan, Nibley, North Logan, Providence, Smithfield, Mendon and Newton City Offices. They can also be deposited at the clerk’s office, in the parking lot of the Cache County Administration Building, or at select post offices and community centers. A full list of ballot box locations is available on the county’s website. Ballots must be deposited by 8 p.m. on Nov. 8.
Those who would rather vote in person can do so Nov. 1 through Nov. 4 at the Cache County Administration Office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or Nov. 8 at 490 S. 500 West in Logan from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Individuals who meet voting requirements but have not yet registered can do so online or by mail by October 28. Folks can also register during in-person voting.

Professional golfer Bernhard Langer continued his philanthropic efforts as he made a substantial donation toward the recent 2022 First Tee Broward Club Drive.
John Linn, who was named First Tee Broward Volunteer of the Year for 2021, and Veteran Outreach coordinator Jack Bloomfield, made a personal visit to Langer’s residence in Boca Raton to pick up over 600 clubs including iron sets, woods, wedges and putters, some of those used in many of his worldwide victories over his 50-year career.
Langer is a member of the Golf World Hall of Fame and has won 119 tournaments across the globe, including the 1985 and 1993 Masters.
Langer, who now plays on the Champions Tour, has been a member of 10 European Ryder cup teams and was the captain of the 2004 Ryder Cup team for Europe.
“I have to give special thanks to Bernhard,” Bloomfield said. “Many of the clubs that are donated to our chapter help support our youth programs and veterans programs.”

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Dubai again is planning for the takeoff of flying taxis in this futuristic city-state on the Arabian Peninsula, offering its firmest details yet Monday for a pledged launch by 2026.
Since 2017, the commercial capital of the United Arab Emirates has offered promises to launch flying taxis in the city already home to the world’s tallest building and other architectural wonders. A series of different types and companies have cycled through those promises as well, most timed to be included at Dubai’s annual World Government Summit, which saw this year’s edition begin Monday.
Dubai’s ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, announced the relaunched flying taxi program on Twitter Sunday. This time, Dubai highlighted the six-rotor electric flying taxi made by Joby Aviation of Santa Cruz, California, in the promotional video.
The inclusion of Joby Aviation, rather than the Chinese-made EHang 184 and XPeng X2 or the German-made electric Volocopter all previously displayed in Dubai, wasn’t explained by Emirati officials. Joby aircraft featured at a stand at the World Government Summit on Monday.
“We’re excited about the opportunity and actively exploring the possibility,” said Oliver Walker-Jones, a spokesman for Joby Aviation.
Ahmed Bahrozyan, an official in the emirate’s Roads and Transport Authority, similarly told the state-owned Dubai Eye radio station on Monday that “it’s early days” for the plan.
“We haven’t yet signed with any partners yet,” he said.
Another difference in this year’s promise on flying taxis is the release of specifics about the program. The city plans four “vertiports” by Dubai International Airport, the world’s busiest for international travel, downtown Dubai, the manmade Palm Jumeirah archipelago and Dubai Marina. Those points will include two launching pads and four charging points for the flying taxis.
“We believe those are attractive areas with business hubs and tourist hubs that could generate considerable demand,” Bahrozyan said.
The pricing for the flying taxis “will be in the range of a limousine service in Dubai, maybe slightly higher,” Bahrozyan said. The RTA describes limo services rates as “at least 30% higher than taxi fares” in the city. Taxis have a minimum fare of around $3.25 and charge $0.50 a kilometer.
Another departure from earlier plans include the RTA planning to have piloted flying taxis at first, rather than autonomous ones as previously discussed. Dubai officials described the taxi as having a pilot with four seats for passengers on board, which match Joby’s electric flying taxi. However, Bahrozyan said tests would continue with autonomous flying taxis as well.
The Joby prototype can fly over 240 kilometers (150 miles) before needing a charge — something which would put Abu Dhabi and other areas of the country within range. It takes off and lands vertically, while its rotors tilt forward in flight. It has a maximum speed of 320 kph (200 mph).
Joby Avation Inc., which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, was at $4.20 a share before trading Monday. Its major shareholders include Intel Corp., while Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines also has invested.
The video posted by Sheikh Mohammed’s Twitter account also included the logo of London-based Skyports Infrastructure, which also refers to its support projects as “vertiports.” The company already is testing its “vertiport” model outside of Paris and is working with Joby. Skyports did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Opening the skies to flying taxis would add to the “Blade Runner” skyline of Dubai, while also easing the real-world grind of daily traffic that’s only worsening as its population booms to over 3.5 million people.
Rush hour on Sheikh Zayed Road, a dozen-lane artery running down the length of the Dubai, alternates between dense gridlock and sports-car slalom. Over 1.8 million Dubai-registered vehicles ply its roads, not counting those crowding in from the United Arab Emirates’ six other sheikhdoms.
There’s also the desire to move away from carbon-belching gasoline and diesel vehicles as the UAE will host the upcoming United Nations COP28 climate talks later this year. That’s even as the Emirates hopes to expand its production of crude oil ahead of a promised “carbon-neutral” future by 2050. Meanwhile, Dubai hopes to have a quarter of all cars on its roads be driverless by 2030.

LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak held talks with Benjamin Netanyahu in London on Friday as protesters shouting “Shame!” In Hebrew demonstrated against the Israeli leader’s right-wing policies and his plans to overhaul the country’s judiciary.
Netanyahu had to pass by hundreds of protesters waving Israeli flags and waving signs calling for the defense of Israeli democracy as he arrived at 10 Downing St. for talks that focused on the war in Ukraine and concerns about Iran’s nuclear program.
Sunak also raised Netanyahu’s controversial judicial reforms, which have sparked mass protests in Israel and beyond. One placard in London read: “We are Israelis and Jews living in the U.K. demonstrating against Prime Minister Netanyahu, who is leading a judicial coup turning Israel into a dictatorship.”
Some women protesting outside Downing Street wore red robes and white caps inspired by “The Handmaid’s Tale,” a novel and TV series set in a dystopian future. Similarly clad demonstrators have become fixtures of the mass protests roiling Israel.
Sunak “stressed the importance of upholding the democratic values that underpin our relationship, including in the proposed judicial reforms in Israel,” the British leader’s office said in an official readout of the meeting.
Netanyahu’s proposals would give his government more control over judicial appointments, weaken the Supreme Court by limiting judicial review of legislation and allow Parliament to overturn court decisions with a simple majority vote.
He arrived in London as protesters in Israel blocked roads and clashed with police. The planned judicial system overhaul have ignited the biggest protests in the country’s history amid rare dissent from people throughout Israeli society, including military reservists, navy veterans, high-tech businesspeople and former officials.
Netanyahu’s right-wing government has also been criticized for its hard-line policy toward Palestinians, including recent comments by a government minister who denied the existence of the Palestinian people and their right to self-determination.
Sunak “reiterated our support for two-state solution,” and Britain’s view that Israel’s West Bank settlements are illegal and ”contrary to the cause of peace,” spokesman Jamie Davies said.
“Israel is a vital international partner for the United Kingdom, and the prime minister was visiting London, and this was an important opportunity to talk about issues that matter to both countries, whether that’s the threat of Iran, Russia, new trade and investment … as well as peace and stability in the Middle East,” Davies said.
Netanyahu’s office said the two leaders discussed the rapidly advancing nuclear program of Israel’s archenemy, Iran, as well as “deepening strategic cooperation in security, intelligence and economic fields.”
As thousands of people took to the streets across Israel on Thursday, Netanyahu, who is on trial for corruption, defiantly pledged to proceed with the judicial overhaul, hours after his coalition passed a law making it harder to remove him from office.
Rights groups and Palestinians say Israel’s democratic ideals have long been tarnished by the country’s 55-year, open-ended occupation of lands the Palestinians seek for an independent state and the treatment of Palestinian Israeli citizens, who face discrimination in many spheres.
Netanyahu pushed back his departure to Britain until 4 a.m. Friday to deal with the political crisis.

Officials confirm death of Jeffrey Epstein mentor Hoffenberg
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Medical examiners confirmed Friday that convicted Ponzi schemer and Jeffrey Epstein mentor Steven Hoffenberg was the person found dead in a Connecticut apartment earlier this week.
Hoffenberg, 77, is believed to have died at least seven days before his body was found Tuesday in Derby by police, who responded to a request to check on his welfare, authorities said. He had to be identified through dental records because of the decomposition of his body, police said.
His cause of death is pending toxicology test results. An autopsy showed no signs of trauma, and there were no indications of a struggle or forced entry at the apartment, officials said.
Epstein, the disgraced financier who killed himself in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on allegations he sexually abused dozens of girls, worked for Hoffenberg’s bill collection company, Towers Financial Corp., in the late 1980s, when prosecutors said the Ponzi scheme began.
Hoffenberg, who once tried buying the New York Post, ended up getting busted in one of the country’s largest frauds. He admitted he swindled thousands of investors out of $460 million and was sentenced in 1997 to 20 years in prison. He claimed Epstein was actually the architect of the scheme, but Epstein was never charged.
He was released from federal custody in 2013, according to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons. It was not immediately clear how he ended up living in a small apartment in a multifamily home in Derby, about 12 miles (19 kilometers) northeast of Bridgeport.
Gary Baise, one of Hoffenberg’s friends and lawyers and a former acting deputy U.S. attorney general, said Hoffenberg and Epstein had a “special relationship” and Hoffenberg said Epstein was the smartest person he knew when it came to money.
Baise said Hoffenberg also was very intelligent, which may have contributed to his downfall.
“He was too smart for his own good,” Baise said in a phone interview Friday. “He thought he could get away with his Ponzi scheme but he could not. He did not have self-control. He always thought he was smarter than the next guy and that was one of his problems. ... But he was a good man.”
Baise, who said he had not had contact with Hoffenberg for several months, said he wasn’t surprised by his death because Hoffenberg did not appear to be taking good care of himself.
Police in Derby were asked to do a welfare check on Hoffenberg on Tuesday by a private investigator for a woman who identified herself as close to Hoffenberg and a sexual abuse victim of Epstein’s, Derby police Lt. Justin Stanko said. The investigator said the woman had not heard from Hoffenberg for five days, and that was unusual, Stanko said.
Hoffenberg briefly took over the New York Post in 1993 while bidding to own it. The Post reported that Hoffenberg funded the paper for three months and rescued it from bankruptcy. His efforts to buy the paper were derailed by civil fraud allegations by the Securities and Exchange Commission that led to the criminal prosecution of the Ponzi case.

Governor Livingston-New Providence plays with a chip on its shoulder.
It can be seen as ironic that after winning a state championship last season and being just as good this season, that Governor Livingston-New Providence feels like they have something to prove to its competition.
But it does. It wants to prove that it’s here to stay, and here to stay on top. It also wants to prove that this season it can get the job done to win a title after falling short in both the Union County tournament and the McInnis Cup.
Nominate your game changer now in one of 18 categories decided by fans.
• Learn more and make a nomination!
On Tuesday night it got one step closer to defending that state title, as the top-seeded Highlanders defeated eighth-seeded Toms River South-East 4-1 in the quarterfinal round of the NJSIAA Public C tournament at Warinanco Sports Center, in Roselle.
Governor Livingston-New Providence, No. 17 in the NJ.com Top 20, put up a near perfect second period when it scored three goals in just under seven minutes to quickly pull away from Toms River South-East (14-5-4).
All of the scoring in the second period came on the doorstep of goal off of rebound opportunities created by relentless offensive zone pressure by the Highlanders (14-5-4). Brian Kramer scored early on in the second at 14:36, before Jackson Benward at 9:17 and Ryan Siksnius at 7:52 gave the Highlanders some breathing room.
“We scout all of our opponents, and getting pucks in deep and creating lots of chances was one of our focuses coming in,” Kramer said. “Most of these goals in the playoffs are going to be dirty goals. It’s going to come down to who’s hungrier in front of the net. We have to win those battles if we want to win.”
“It’s huge to get those opportunities and to convert them,” coach Greg Jensen said. “You’ve got an opportunity on the doorstep with the puck on your stick, you’ve got to find a way to bury that, which we did.”
Not being afraid to get to those dirty areas, cause havoc and create turnovers at the blue lines, and play with a physical mindset are what the Highlanders are hyper focused on this deep into the postseason, and they are added reasons as to why it continues to play with a purpose.
The Highlanders know that it’s going to get everyone’s best shot, and it cannot afford to back down even for just a second. After having already fallen in its two prior opportunities to win a title this season, it can’t run from what’s coming at them and has to go all in.
“We’re hungry,” Kramer said. “We’re hungrier than ever. Coming into this season we set our goals on winning all three cups, but we’re down to just the one. We want to show the state that last year wasn’t a one-year thing. We’re here to stay. Our program is way more involved than it was in the past and we’re going to be the top dogs for a while, and we’re here to prove that.”
The Highlanders dominated play to open the game, as Kramer had an opportunity on a breakaway just 11 seconds in, but Chase Witt was able to make the save. The Highlanders had at least four other prime scoring opportunities, some coming on two-on-ones, in the game’s opening six minutes, but each time Witt was able to come up with a save or the shot went just wide.
Witt would go on to make 35 saves on 39 shots faced for the Raiders.
At 9:04 of the first period, the Highlanders finally cashed in on an opportunity as Brandon Cuccaro scored on the power play goal to give the Highlanders a 1-0 lead.
Toms River South-East began to find its legs after that though, and just over two minutes later during a scrum in front of the net Ryan Fortunato capitalized on a rebound to tie the game at 1-1, which is where it stood going into the second period.
It was clear that after Fortunato’s goal that Toms River South-East was driving more play and creating turnovers, but the longer it waited to score again the more that it allowed the Highlanders another opportunity to take over.
Fast forward to the start of the second period when Kramer scored just 24 seconds in to give the Highlanders the lead for good. Benward’s rebound goal came after a couple of cycles around the net and a shot from the slot, and Siksnius’ goal came right off of a face off after a long period of sustained offensive pressure.
“We took momentum right back and quickly,” Jensen said. “Everyone responded well coming out in the second and did everything needed to get the win.”
As the clock ticked down and the pressure grew for Toms River South-East, the Raiders began to tighten up and committed several penalties, which took away valuable time that it needed to attack offensively.
“It’s tough coming into [GLNP’s] building,” Raiders coach Jason Verdon said. “We did everything we could to fight them. We did come back and matched them, but the power plays and penalties… the penalty kills were where we fell short. We’re not really built to have to deal with a lot of penalties. We got hurt on the power plays. They have a very strong power play, and three goals in the second was the difference.”
After suffering two losses in pursuit of a championship, Governor Livingston-New Providence is doing everything in its power to capitalize on the opportunities that it has left. To be able to go back-to-back with state championships would be the ultimate prize in the long journey that it’s taken just to get back to this point.
Its next step will come less than 24 hours after its quarterfinal win, as it’s set to face off against fifth-seeded Verona-Glen Ridge in the semifinals on Wednesday at 4:30 at Mennen Arena in Morristown.
“I’m kind of happy about playing again so soon,” Kramer said. “I hate waiting. I get more nervous waiting to play so I’m happy to get right back at it tomorrow.”
Another test is quickly approaching, and the Highlanders are eager to show that it’s here to stay on top for a bit longer.

NEW JERSEY (PIX11) — Paper coupons could be a requirement in New Jersey under a bill being proposed by a state Assembly member.
Many stores have pivoted to digital coupons in recent years. Advocacy groups, such as Consumer World, have called for other options. Assemblyman Paul Moriarty, head of the Assembly Consumer Affairs committee and sponsor of the bill, agreed.
“I think there’s an unfairness in the marketplace if companies are offering discounts to people who have computers and Wi-Fi and smartphones, but aren’t offering them to people who might be marginalized and do not have those same resources,” he said.
Moriarty plans to introduce his bill Thursday. He said there could also be room for stores to offer discounts at checkout if customers ask for it.
“My focus is on getting discounts to people who need those discounts the most,” Moriarty said.
About a quarter of adults with household incomes below $30,000 a year don’t own a smartphone, Pew Research published in 2021 found. Around 40% of adults with incomes in that range also don’t have a desktop or laptop. The digital divide also impacts certain age groups. Around 39% of adults 65 and older don’t own smartphones, Pew found.
“It is unfair that large segments of the population cannot avail themselves of publicly advertised prices when there are ways for stores to easily make these offers available to the digitally-disconnected,” Consumer World founder and editor Edgar Dqorsky wrote in a November open letter to supermarket industry leaders.

HOT SPRINGS — The Hot Springs boys thrive on pushing the ball in transition and racking up easy baskets.
Sturgis Brown responded by stopping the ball and forcing the Bison to play in the half court Friday at Case Auditorium.
The Bison and Scoopers battled back and forth early and entered halftime tied.
Sturgis stood strong down the stretch though and surrendered just six field goals in the second half to secure a 54-45 road win.
“I thought we just guarded well and they had a hard time scoring,” Sturgis coach Derris Buus said. “I felt that if we could keep them in the half court, and not give up points off transition, then our odds were better. And then they had to guard us longer in the half court as well.”
It marked the Bison’s (15-1) first loss of the season and the second-straight victory for the Scoopers (6-8).

Hot Springs head coach Aaron Noteboom said Sturgis defended well and that his team struggled to match up with the size of their opponent.
“After the game we talked to the guys about learning from this experience,” he said. We have to move on from this experience and try to get better because we need to make a big run here late in the season.”
Hot Springs returns to action at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at St. Thomas More.
Ryan Heinert led the way for the Scoopers with 16 points including 10 points in the fourth quarter to help keep the Bison at bay. Dysen Peterson also finished in double figures with 14 points.
“We shot the ball extraordinarily well from the free throw line there,” Heinert said. “We did a good job attacking the basket. I thought we played really, really well and under control. It's just nice to come out with the win.”
In the first quarter, Sturgis stormed out to a 10-0 lead. But Hot Springs closed the period on a 16-3 run in five minutes, 43 seconds to take a 16-13 lead after one.
The Scoopers limited the Bison to two field goals in the second and the teams entered the break tied at 20-20.
Sturgis allowed one Hot Springs field goal in the third quarter to take a three-point advantage into the fourth.
The Scoopers took control in the fourth and claimed a nine-point road win.
Sturgis returns to action at 7 p.m. Saturday as it hosts Belle Fourche at West Gym.
Bison girls outlast Scoopers
HOT SPRINGS — The Hot Springs girls trailed Sturgis Brown by a pair with just over three minutes to play Friday at Case Auditorium.
But the Bison responded on defense and held the scoopers scoreless for the final three-plus minutes to secure a 39-36 home victory.
“When we help early and play as a team, we're generally pretty solid on defense,” Hot Springs coach Mike Remington said. “When they started getting to the paint, and into the middle, we struggled to recover.”
Maggie Pruess led all scorers with 22 points and helped pick up Hot Springs when the baskets came at a premium.
“All of us are able to do that,” Pruess said. “It just takes one person to go out and start scoring and that momentum just motivates the team to get going.”
Sturgis (1-13) returns to action at 6 p.m. Tuesday as it travels to Red Cloud.
Hot Springs (7-9) is back at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday to host Edgemont.

- 59% 1-year overall survival and 32% 2-year overall survival in patients with prior Venetoclax treatment
- 52% 1-year overall survival and 19% 2-year overall survival in patients with a TP53 mutation
- 75% measurable residual disease negativity achieved in heavily pretreated, high-risk relapsed or refractory patients
- Actimab-A + CLAG-M was well tolerated with a manageable safety profile
NEW YORK, Dec. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: ATNM) (Actinium or the Company) a leader in the development of targeted radiotherapies, today highlighted high rates of Complete Remission (CR/CRi) and rates of measurable residual disease (MRD) negativity with improved overall survival in its Actimab-A CLAG-M combination trial in high-risk patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) acute myeloid leukemia (AML). These data were detailed in an oral presentation at the 64th Annual ASH Meeting & Symposium being held December 10-13, 2022 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The trial enrolled patients with intermediate and adverse cytogenetics including over 50% with a TP53 mutation and significant prior treatment with a median of 2 lines of therapy and over 57% having prior Venetoclax based therapy. The addition of Actimab-A to CLAG-M was well tolerated with expected toxicities.
Dr. Sameem Abedin, Assistant Professor at Froedtert & Medical College Wisconsin and Principal Investigator of the Study, commented, "The high rates of MRD negativity and strong survival outcomes, especially in the TP53 mutant and Venetoclax treated patients, is highly encouraging and represents a significant improvement compared to available therapies for these patients. The patients enrolled on this trial have very difficult to treat AML and a dismal prognosis with an expected survival of 2 to 3 months or less. They also have very limited treatment options. High rates of 1-year survival are rare in these patients and 2-year survival is rarely achieved. With Venetoclax treatment becoming standard of care, it is critical that we find a therapy for the high percentage of patients who do not respond or relapse and therapies with better outcomes for all relapsed or refractory patients. Outside of this novel clinical trial, these patients would not have been considered for CLAG-M treatment as it would not be expected to have this type of effect in patients who had failed venetoclax based on our considerable prior experience with this regimen. Importantly, the combination was well tolerated with manageable toxicities and enabled a significant number of patients to proceed to transplant. These data support advancing the Actimab-A CLAG-M combination in a registration enabling study."
Dr. Avinash Desai, Actinium's Chief Medical Officer, commented, "As a first-in-class targeted radiotherapy, Actimab-A represents a novel treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory AML. Its differentiated mechanism of action attacks leukemia cells with a radioactive payload that the cancer cells have never been exposed to, which we believe is driving improved outcomes in these heavily pretreated and adverse cytogenetic patients. The high rates and deep remissions evidenced by the 75% measurable residual disease negativity are exciting and support the hypothesis of this combination. We are thrilled to show improved survival, especially in the TP53 mutant and Venetoclax treated patients who have dismal outcomes with expected survival of less than 3 months and few, if any, treatment options. With enrollment of this study complete, we look forward to leveraging the strong survival, MRD negativity and complete remission results to rapidly establish an efficient development and regulatory strategy."
- MRD negativity was 75% in patients achieving CRc, assessed by multiparametric flow cytometry.
- Patients received a median of two lines of prior therapy (Range: 1 – 5 lines)
- 57% received prior treatment with Venetoclax
- 67% of patients had adverse cytogenetics, 52% had TP53 mutations
- 52% of patients had secondary AML or treatment related AML

NEW DELHI (AP) — Voters in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat cast ballots Thursday in crucial local elections, a vote that is seen as a barometer of his ruling Bharatiya Janata Party’s popularity ahead of a 2024 general election in India.
The polls are the first of two phases of voting in the western state that Modi ruled as chief minister for over a decade before he led his ruling Hindu nationalist party to victories in national elections in 2014 and 2019.
A second round of voting will take place Monday before votes are counted Dec. 8.
Modi’s party remains popular despite criticism of inflation and unemployment and is expected to emerge victorious. Most pre-election surveys and several political analysts have predicted that it will win a majority of the 182 seats in the state for a record seventh time in a row, defeating the main opposition Congress party and new entrant Aam Aadmi Party.
The BJP has been in power in Gujarat, a state of more than 60 million, since 1995.
Modi and dozens of top leaders of his party have been campaigning in Gujarat and voters will go to the polls a month after the collapse of a suspension bridge in the town of Morbi killed 135 people. The disaster angered people across the state but analysts say it won’t dent BJP’s popularity in the polls.
India’s main opposition Congress party is hoping to revive its fortunes and regain some popularity in the state. In October, the party elected a new president, a move that was seen to shed its image as a family dynasty. In September, Rahul Gandhi, its most prominent leader, launched a cross-country unity march across Indian cities, towns and villages to rejuvenate the party and win the people’s support. But analysts say neither event will help the party electorally during the Gujarat polls.
Meanwhile, the BJP is facing a tough challenge from the Aam Aadmi Party, which has ruled the capital, Delhi, since 2015. Earlier this year, it swept polls in the northern Punjab state by overthrowing the Congress party.
Aam Aadmi Party, which grew out of a nationwide anti-corruption movement in 2012, has been a force to reckon with in Delhi. Since its surprise win in the Punjab state, the party has been trying to strengthen its presence across the country. A strong showing in Gujarat could indicate whether the party could appeal voters during the 2024 general election, mainly at the expense of the Indian National Congress party that has struggled since 2014.

Finley Peter Dunne’s fictional Chicagoan Mr. Dooley once said, “Sure, politics ain’t bean-bag. ‘Tis a man’s game, an’ women, childer, cripples an’ prohybitionists ‘d do well to keep out iv it.”
This by-now trite judgment — politics is not for the fainthearted — certainly described democracy in East Cleveland, Ohio, when William Fambrough tried to participate in it last year. As the fragrance of this year’s political squabbles dissipates, consider his experience as the object of a city government’s harassments.

DENVER — A Colorado mother accused of plotting to kidnap her son from foster care after her teen daughter said she started associating with supporters of the QAnon conspiracy theory was found guilty of conspiracy to commit second-degree kidnapping on Friday.
Jurors also found Abcug guilty of a misdemeanor count of child abuse. She is scheduled to be sentenced in October.
Her son, now 10, is still in foster care and has not had serious health problems since being removed from Abcug, according to prosecutors.
Abcug’s lawyers suggested that a drug prescribed to treat the seizures was responsible for at least some of the boy’s health problems. Doctors had begun weaning him from the medication before he was removed from Abcug’s custody.
Abcug moved her family to Colorado in the fall of 2017 at the suggestion of a doctor in Florida in hopes that neurologists at Children’s Hospital Colorado could find out what the cause of his health problems were.
Abcug testified that after her son was removed in May 2019 she was extremely anxious and reached out on social media for help getting her son back. She told jurors she ended up meeting members of a group that said it was working on reforming the family court system and offered to help her get her son back legally. She said it turned out to be a scam with members interested in stealing money raised online to help parents who had lost custody of their children.
She did not describe the group as being involved with QAnon but said she heard references to the conspiracy theory by people she met through her activism online.
Many QAnon supporters believe former President Donald Trump was fighting enemies in the so-called deep state to expose a group of satanic, cannibalistic child molesters they believe secretly runs the globe.
Around this time, Abcug posted on social media that social workers took children to sell them and sent them to other countries for adoption.
The conspiracy theory was not a main issue in the trial, which focused more on detailed testimony from medical providers and educators about Abcug’s medical history.
Abcug said she heard references to QAnon in passing in talking to people she met online. Rubber bracelets with a phrase used by QAnon supporters, Storm Is Upon Us, as well as a website known for posts about QAnon printed on them were found in Abcug’s home, according to police.
Abcug’s daughter, who was 16 at the time, told authorities she was concerned because her mother had been talking about a raid on the foster home for several months and that she believed people were going to be hurt because those involved believed her brother was wrongfully taken from his home, according to Abcug’s arrest affidavit. Her daughter also told them her mother had allowed a military veteran she believed to be armed to sleep on their couch to provide security, it said.
Abcug said the group she was working with arranged to send the man to protect her after the lock of her back sliding door was found broken. He has been been identified by police but has not been charged. In response to a question from the jury, she acknowledged she had never met him before she allowed him to stay with her.
Abcug said she bought a gun around this time because she feared for her safety but never made it to an appointment for a training class and has never fired it. Police found the appointment listed on the house’s whiteboard calendar when Abcug’s daughter was also removed from the home after reporting her concerns.
After her daughter was removed, Abcug said the man providing security coordinated with others to take her to a “safe house” and implied that she was held against her will. Abcug said her phone was taken from her and she was held for three months in a hotel.
Abcug was arrested in Montana on Dec. 30, 2019.

CSL to access late-stage next-generation mRNA platform technology, enabling development of vaccines for COVID-19, influenza, multi-pathogen pandemic preparedness and other respiratory pathogens
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Dec. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CSL Limited (ASX:CSL; USOTC:CSLLY) today announced that its subsidiary, CSL Seqirus, finalized its global collaboration and license agreement with Arcturus Therapeutics Holdings Inc ("Arcturus Therapeutics"; NASDAQ: ARCT). The agreement grants access to Arcturus Therapeutics' late-stage self-amplifying mRNA (sa-mRNA) vaccine platform technology, which recently reported results from a large COVID-19 Phase III vaccine efficacy study, meeting its primary and secondary endpoints of prevention of infection and severe disease with a favorable safety and tolerability profile.
The agreement was announced last month and under the terms of the agreement, Arcturus Therapeutics will receive an upfront payment of US$200 million and will be eligible to receive further payments dependent upon the achievement of certain development and commercial milestones along with royalties/profit sharing on future product sales.
"This agreement provides CSL with an opportunity to strengthen and accelerate our goals for the next generation of mRNA vaccines and underscores our commitment to pursuing new and innovative ways of protecting public health," said CSL Chief Operating Officer Paul McKenzie. "This is a significant leap forward with a demonstrated platform that will allow us to further explore influenza-adjacent therapies."
Under the agreement, CSL will have the exclusive license to Arcturus' next generation mRNA technology in the fields of influenza, COVID-19 and other respiratory viral diseases, and a non-exclusive license in the multi-pathogen pandemic preparedness field with the right to turn exclusive.
"Like gene therapy for rare diseases, sa-mRNA is a disruptive technology that is on the leading-edge of innovation, when it comes to vaccine development," said Dr. Bill Mezzanotte, Head of R&D and Chief Medical Officer, CSL. "Next-generation mRNA technology serves as one of our strategic scientific platforms at CSL and in our evaluation of Arcturus, we saw the right external innovation to strategically complement our in-house next-generation mRNA capabilities and reinforce our longstanding leadership in influenza."
About COVID-19
COVID-19 is a disease caused by a virus named SARS-CoV-2 and is highly contagious.1 COVID-19 may cause respiratory symptoms – ranging from mild symptoms to life-threatening severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus.2 During the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been over 95 million confirmed cases of the disease and over 1 million deaths in the U.S.3 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends COVID-19 vaccination for everyone ages six months and older in the U.S. for the prevention of COVID-19.4 It is recommended to stay up-to-date on COVID-19 vaccination by completing a primary series vaccination and receiving the most recent booster dose recommended for them by the CDC.4
About Seasonal Influenza
Influenza is a common, contagious seasonal respiratory disease that may cause severe illness and life-threatening complications in some people.5 Influenza can lead to clinical symptoms varying from mild to moderate respiratory illness to severe complications, hospitalization and in some cases, death.5 Because transmission of influenza viruses to others may occur one day before symptoms develop and up to five to seven days after becoming sick, the disease can be easily transmitted to others.5 Estimates from the CDC report that during the 2019/20 influenza season, there were an estimated 405,000 influenza-related hospitalizations in the U.S.6 The CDC recommends annual vaccination for individuals aged six months and older, who do not have any contraindications.7 Since it takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body that help protect against influenza virus infection, it is recommended that people get vaccinated before influenza begins spreading in their community.7 The CDC recommends that people get vaccinated by the end of October.7
About Pandemic Influenza
Pandemic influenza is a contagious airborne respiratory disease that is unpredictable in timing and severity.8 The risk of influenza-associated morbidity and mortality is greater with pandemic influenza than with seasonal influenza because there is likely to be little or no pre-existing immunity to the virus in the human population.9 Four influenza pandemics have occurred over the past century, with the 1918 pandemic being the most severe in recent history, estimated to have killed up to 50 million people worldwide.10 According to the CDC, a novel influenza A virus such as the highly pathogenic avian A(H5N1) strain can cause severe disease and have a high mortality rate.11 If the influenza A(H5N1) virus were to change and become easily transmissible from person to person while retaining its capacity to cause severe disease, the consequences for public health could be severe.8

HELENA — State lawmakers have voted to enact two bills dealing with the Montana State Hospital into law, over Gov. Greg Gianforte’s objection.
On Thursday, the Montana Secretary of State’s Office released the results from the latest set of veto override polls, where lawmakers have been voting by mail on whether to accept or overturn Gianforte’s vetoes on recently passed bills.
Two-thirds of House members and two-thirds of Senate members are required to override a veto. House Bill 29 and Senate Bill 4 each met that threshold.
HB 29, sponsored by Rep. Jennifer Carlson, R-Manhattan, requires the state to begin transferring patients out of MSH if their primary diagnosis is Alzheimer’s disease, dementia or traumatic brain injury. The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services will need to find new community placements for those patients by 2025.
Gianforte said in a letter announcing his veto that HB 29 “fails to offer a realistic mechanism” for transitioning these patients to new placements. He called the 2025 deadline “unworkable.”
SB 4, sponsored by Sen. Jen Gross, D-Billings, requires DPHHS to share reports about allegations of abuse and neglect at MSH with Disability Rights Montana, the organization with the responsibility of protecting and advocating for Montanans with disabilities.
In his veto letter, Gianforte said the bill had technical issues and didn’t sufficiently protect the right to privacy because it prohibited redacting information from the reports.
So far, Gianforte has vetoed 25 bills passed during the Legislature’s 68th session. Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen is conducting polls for 19 of those.
However, the Legislature didn’t get a second chance to weigh in on one broadly supported bill – and now that’s led to legal action.
This week, two separate lawsuits were filed in state district court against Gianforte and Jacobsen. They argue that the timing of Gianforte’s veto of Senate Bill 442 deprived lawmakers of their opportunity to decide whether to override the governor’s action.
“What happened with SB 442 is the veto came in in such a manner that it hit the Legislature in the sort of no-man's-land,” said Constance Van Kley, litigation director for Upper Seven Law.
Upper Seven Law is representing Wild Montana and the Montana Wildlife Federation, two conservation groups that backed SB 442. The Montana Association of Counties, another organization that supported the bill, filed a second lawsuit. Both are set to be heard in Lewis and Clark County.
SB 442, sponsored by Sen. Mike Lang, R-Malta, went through several changes during the session. In its final version, it would have used 20% of marijuana revenues to help counties fund construction and repair of rural roads. It would also have increased the share of funding that goes toward wildlife habitat improvement projects and allowed some of that money to go toward other conservation work. Significantly more funding would also have gone toward a state account that provides assistance for veterans and their surviving spouses and dependents.
Supporters of the bill said they saw the finished product as a model of how various stakeholders can work together for a good outcome. It ended up passing the bill with support from 130 of 150 legislators.
However, Gianforte vetoed the bill, sending it back to the Legislature on the same day they officially sent it to his desk. In a letter, he said it was inappropriate to use ongoing state funding to support a local responsibility like roads and the bill would create a “slippery slope.” He also identified technical concerns with the way it was written.
The veto came on May 2 – the last day of the session, shortly before the Senate adjourned on a surprise sine die motion. The plaintiffs argue that the veto was never officially announced on the Senate floor, so senators didn’t have a real opportunity to override it.
“The Legislature followed the process that it was supposed to follow, and the full Senate did not know of this veto prior to adjournment,” said Van Kley.
According to the Montana Constitution, the governor must return a vetoed bill to the Legislature with an explanation. The Legislature’s joint rules say that, when the House or Senate receives a veto message, the presiding officer must read it into the record. After that, a member can call for a vote to override the veto.
If the Legislature is not in session, the governor must return the bill to the Montana Secretary of State. If more than two-thirds of the House and Senate supported the bill, the Secretary then polls lawmakers by mail to see if they want to override the veto.
In this case, the Secretary of State’s Office said the Governor’s Office never sent them information on the veto, so they had no way of conducting an override poll.
“When the governor refused to correct that action and then to return the veto with the reasons to the Secretary of State, then it's very clear that that is a deliberate choice to deny the Legislature the power of override,” Van Kley said.
Wild Montana and MWF asked the court to direct Gianforte to submit the veto to Jacobsen, and to direct Jacobsen to then conduct a poll. The Montana Association of Counties asked for the same step – or for the court to order that Gianforte’s veto was invalid and that SB 442 should become law.
Plaintiffs argued that, if this veto goes unchallenged, not only will a widely popular bill not get a chance to go forward, but it will also create a loophole that governors could use in the future to keep the Legislature from having a chance to override.
“There certainly will be those opportunities if this particular action is not corrected,” Van Kley said.
A spokesperson for Gianforte’s office said they generally don’t comment on ongoing litigation, but they pointed back to the governor’s initial objections to SB 442.
The first successful veto override of this year came last week, on House Bill 693, sponsored by Rep. Bill Mercer, R-Billings, says a public agency can’t refuse to disclose public information simply because it may be part of litigation. Gianforte said in his veto message that it “encourages trial lawyers with deep pockets to abuse the Right to Know, giving them an unfair advantage.”
Five other bills have failed to receive enough votes to override Gianforte’s veto:
· House Bill 33, sponsored by Rep. Steve Gist, R-Great Falls, would have allowed county commissioners to start civil proceedings if a local government board member failed to comply with a requirement.
· House Bill 37, sponsored by Carlson, would have required DPHHS to get a warrant before removing a child from their home and family “unless the child is likely to experience sexual abuse or physical abuse in the time that would be required to obtain a warrant.”
· House Bill 423, sponsored by Rep. Amy Regier, R-Kalispell, would have revised Montana’s laws for compensation to people who were wrongfully convicted, including shifting financial responsibility for that compensation from the counties to the state.
· House Bill 748, sponsored by Rep. Katie Zolnikov, R-Billings, would have removed local governments’ ability to pass zoning restrictions for the purpose of promoting “morals” and replaced it with one for promoting “separation of incompatible uses of property.”
· House Bill 828, sponsored by Rep. Ed Buttrey, R-Great Falls, aimed to provide additional financial support for Montana ambulance providers by allowing them to charge themselves a fee and use the money as a match to bring in more federal dollars.
The last set of veto override polls currently in progress is set to wrap up on June 20.
In 2021, Gianforte vetoed 16 bills. One of them was successfully overridden.

Deadly police shooting in Louisiana reportedly happened after loud music call
SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA/Gray News) - The officer involved in Friday night’s deadly shooting at a Shreveport apartment complex has now been placed on administrative leave.
Alonzo Bagley, 43, was shot and killed Friday night in an incident involving police at the Villa Norté Apartments on Fullerton Street.
A spokesperson for the family said Monday it all started with a neighbor calling police because the music was too loud in Bagley’s apartment. He said Bagley and his wife were both inside when police arrived. The family spokesperson goes on to say that, at some point, Bagley ran from police and then was shot.
On Monday, Shreveport Police Department Chief Wayne Smith announced the officer involved in the fatal incident, identified as Alexander Tyler, has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation, which Louisiana State Police is conducting.
Tyler was hired by Shreveport Police Department in May of 2021.
On Monday morning, members of the city council, the police chief, the mayor, and several pastors held a news conference and prayed for the family.
Louisiana State Police held a news conference Monday afternoon to update the community on the case. Superintendent Col. Lamar Davis first offered his prayers and condolences to the Bagley family and the citizens of Shreveport, saying these incidents “break your heart” when they occur.
Davis said police was called out Friday night to investigate the officer-involved shooting. He said preliminary info shows at 10:51 p.m. Friday, two officers responded to the apartment complex in reference to a domestic disturbance. They encountered Bagley inside the apartment. Davis said Bagley got onto the balcony of the apartment from the back door, jumped down onto the ground and ran away from the officers.
That’s when Tyler began chasing Bagley. Davis said Tyler saw Bagley after coming around a corner and fired one shot. Bagley was hit in the chest. Police said the officers began to render medical aid. Bagley was taken to Ochsner LSU Shreveport, where he later died.
Davis said no weapons were found near Bagley or on his person. He’s asking the community to remain patient as the state police conducts its investigation, which will include reviewing body and dashcam footage; he did not give a timeline on when that footage might be released to the public.
Davis said they’re still conducting a number of interviews to determine what happened; he said they have not yet interviewed Tyler. Davis also said the coroner’s office or a lab will have to determine if Bagley was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident.
Meanwhile, Bagley’s family has obtained legal representation. Haley & Associates will represent the family in any dealings going forward. Attorney Ron Haley says he believes “accountability will result in consequences in both civil and criminal courts.”
“We are committed to normalizing safe communities, where the lives of law enforcement professionals and residents are both valued,” the law office said in a statement released Monday afternoon.

The Company has rebranded its recently acquired remittances business to Inter and plans to expand its Super App services in US, in addition to offering cross-border transactions
BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil, Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Inter&Co (Nasdaq: INTR), a leading digital bank offering financial and non-financial services to more than 20 million customers in Brazil and US, announced today that USEND, a US fintech company specializing in remittances, that was recently acquired, is now rebranded Inter.
Inter offers its services to a growing client base of more than 150,000 customers across 40 states in the US. As a digital money transfer platform, it facilitates cross-border payments securely and quickly through its App.
Today, Inter's remittances business services are currently available for cross-border payments originating in the United States, Brazil, and Canada, to more than 60 destination countries. Inter also offers a global account to Brazilian customers living abroad that need an account in US dollars. With the rebranding, clients will have an improved interface and navigability. The fintech also plans to offer some of the capabilities and products its Super App in Brazil already has, including e-gifts, cashback and a marketplace.
"With the launch of the international account for Brazilians, we are revolutionizing once again the way people transact with banks. Our customers are now able to hold an account in a foreign currency, allowing for greater freedom as they travel, shop abroad or consume services. They transfer funds from their local accounts to the US-dollar account all within seconds in one single app. This model will soon be replicated for our US-based customers, expanding the revolution to the US market," said Inter CEO, João Vitor Menin.
Inter's expansion plan in the US will focus on further consolidating its remittances and cross-border payments for Brazilians living in the US and those traveling abroad, as well as expand to other underserved immigrant populations. "We know the Brazilian customer very well and Inter's U.S. strategy will target this market first. Next, we will offer our remittances product to other immigrants, and the international account to US residents. US customers will gain access to many of the features of Inter's Super App, including gift cards, cashback, shopping, along with banking and investments. We are very excited to introduce our successful Super App to the US market," stated João.

"It was my big dream. You know, it's still unfolding. I get to play with great guys," he said. "It's just a great life I lead."

- Company has initiated Phase I/II AFFINITY DUCHENNE™ trial of RGX-202
- Company also enrolling newly active observational screening study, AFFINITY BEYOND, evaluating AAV8 antibody prevalence in boys with Duchenne
- Commercial-scale cGMP material from the REGENXBIO Manufacturing Innovation Center to be used in the clinical trial
- RGX-202 is a potential one-time AAV Therapeutic for the treatment of Duchenne and includes an optimized transgene for a novel microdystrophin and REGENXBIO's proprietary NAV® AAV8 vector
ROCKVILLE, Md., Jan. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- REGENXBIO Inc. (Nasdaq: RGNX) today announced that the Phase I/II AFFINITY DUCHENNE™ trial of RGX-202 for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Duchenne) is now active and recruiting patients. RGX-202 is designed to deliver a transgene for a novel microdystrophin protein that includes the functional elements of the C-Terminal (CT) domain found in naturally occurring dystrophin. RGX-202 uses REGENXBIO's proprietary NAV® AAV8 vector.
AFFINITY DUCHENNE is a multicenter, open-label dose evaluation and dose expansion clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and clinical efficacy of a one-time intravenous (IV) dose of RGX-202 in patients with Duchenne.
Additionally, REGENXBIO is recruiting patients in the AFFINITY BEYOND™ trial, an observational screening study. The primary objective is to evaluate the prevalence of AAV8 antibodies in patients with Duchenne up to 12 years of age. Information collected in this study may be used to identify potential participants for the AFFINITY DUCHENNE trial and potential future trials of RGX-202.
"I am pleased that we are now able to initiate the trial for RGX-202 and also begin enrollment activities in our AAV8 antibody screening study," said Kenneth T. Mills, President and Chief Executive Officer of REGENXBIO. "The RGX-202 program is a key piece of our '5x'25' strategy to have five AAV Therapeutics either on the market or in late-stage development by 2025. We look forward to continuing to work closely with the Duchenne community as we advance a highly differentiated product candidate developed with the potential to improve muscle strength and motor function in boys with Duchenne."
"Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a devastating disease and there are still unmet therapeutic needs," said Aravindhan Veerapandiyan, M.D., a principal investigator in the study and Director of the Comprehensive Neuromuscular Program, PPMD Certified Duchenne Care Center, and Co-Director of the Muscular Dystrophy Association Care Center at Arkansas Children's Hospital. "Gene therapies, like RGX-202, have the potential to impact the progressive nature of Duchenne."
REGENXBIO has manufactured additional clinical supply of RGX-202 in its in-house Manufacturing Innovation Center using the NAVXpress™ process platform. Located in REGENXBIO's 132,000 square foot headquarters in Rockville, MD, the Manufacturing Innovation Center is designed to meet global clinical and commercial regulatory standards, and includes two independent bulk drug substance production suites, a final drug product suite and integrated quality control labs. REGENXBIO is one of only a few gene therapy companies worldwide with a cGMP facility capable of production at scales up to 2,000 liters.
Additional information can be found on clinicaltrials.gov for AFFINITY DUCHENNE and AFFINITY BEYOND.
In the dose evaluation phase of the trial, six ambulatory, pediatric patients (ages 4 to 11 years old) with Duchenne are expected to enroll in two cohorts with doses of 1x1014 genome copies (GC)/kg body weight (n=3) and 2x1014 GC/kg body weight (n=3). After an independent safety data review for each cohort, a dose expansion phase of the trial may allow for up to six additional patients to be enrolled at each dose level (for a total of up to nine patients in each dose cohort).
The trial design also consists of thorough safety measures informed by the Duchenne community and engagement with key opinion leaders, including a comprehensive, short-term, prophylactic immunosuppression regimen to proactively mitigate potential complement-mediated immunologic responses, and inclusion criteria based on dystrophin gene mutation status, including DMD gene mutations in exons 18 and above. Trial endpoints include safety, immunogenicity assessments, pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic measures of RGX-202, including microdystrophin protein levels in muscle, and strength and functional assessments, including the North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA) and timed function tests. Initial trial sites are located in the U.S., with additional sites in Canada and Europe expected to follow.
AFFINITY BEYOND is an observational screening study. The primary objective is to evaluate the prevalence of anti-adeno-associated serotype 8 (AAV8) antibodies in participants with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. AAV gene therapies are delivered via viral vectors that are not known to cause disease in humans. For AAV gene therapies delivered systemically, it's important to screen patients for antibodies to the vector. This observational study is intended to help inform future clinical research in Duchenne.
RGX-202 is designed to deliver a transgene for a novel microdystrophin that includes the functional elements of the C-Terminal (CT) domain found in naturally occurring dystrophin. Presence of the CT domain has been shown in preclinical studies to recruit several key proteins to the muscle cell membrane, leading to improved muscle resistance to contraction-induced muscle damage in dystrophic mice. Additional design features, including codon optimization and reduction of CpG content, may potentially improve gene expression, increase translational efficiency and reduce immunogenicity. RGX-202 is designed to support the delivery and targeted expression of genes throughout skeletal and heart muscle using the NAV AAV8 vector, a vector used in numerous clinical trials, and a well-characterized muscle-specific promoter (Spc5-12).
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Duchenne) is a rare genetic disorder, caused by mutations in the gene responsible for making dystrophin, a protein of central importance for muscle cell structure and function. Duchenne primarily affects males with approximately 1 in 3,500 to 1 in 5,000 males affected worldwide. The absence of functional dystrophin protein in individuals with Duchenne results in cell damage during muscle contraction, leading to cell death, inflammation, and fibrosis in muscle tissues. Initial symptoms of Duchenne include muscle weakness that is often noticeable at an early age, with diagnosis typically occurring by 5 years of age. Over time, individuals with Duchenne experience progressive muscle weakness and eventually lose the ability to walk. Respiratory and heart muscles are also affected, leading to difficulty breathing and the need for ventilator assistance, along with the development of cardiomyopathy. There is presently no cure for Duchenne.
REGENXBIO is a leading clinical-stage biotechnology company seeking to improve lives through the curative potential of gene therapy. REGENXBIO's NAV Technology Platform, a proprietary adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene delivery platform, consists of exclusive rights to more than 100 novel AAV vectors, including AAV7, AAV8, AAV9 and AAVrh10. REGENXBIO and its third-party NAV Technology Platform Licensees are applying the NAV Technology Platform in the development of a broad pipeline of candidates, including late-stage and commercial programs, in multiple therapeutic areas. REGENXBIO is committed to a "5x'25" strategy to progress five AAV Therapeutics from our internal pipeline and licensed programs into pivotal-stage or commercial products by 2025.

ROME (AP) — Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni unveiled her right-wing government’s plans to crack down on people smugglers following a Cabinet meeting she led Thursday in the southern town near the beach where a wooden boat packed with migrants broke apart 11 days earlier, killing scores and leaving many missing.
By holding the meeting in Cutro, Calabria, instead of the capital, Rome, Meloni said she was stressing her resolve to “combat the slavery of the Third Millennium.”
She announced that her Cabinet had approved a decree establishing a new crime — people smuggling that results in death of migrants — punishable by up to 30 years in prison, an exceptionally stiff sentence for crimes involving facilitating illegal immigration.
According to details of the approved decrees, provided by Meloni’s office Thursday night, the punishment for the death of a sole migrant could bring up to 24 years in prison.
Many of the dead and survivors in the Feb. 26 tragedy had fled Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and Syria, hoping to join family members in Italy and other Western European countries.
Earlier this week, a 72nd body was recovered from the shipwreck. The overcrowded boat smashed into a sandbank just off Steccato di Cutro beach, started taking on water and splintered apart.
Eighty people survived, many of them staggering ashore on the beach after swimming from the wreck. Dozens are still believed to be missing because survivors said the boat had set out from Turkey with around 180 passengers.
“Our task is to find solutions to the problem, and today, as I said, the best way to honor those victims is to do what one can so that this tragedy isn’t repeated,” Meloni said.
The Cabinet decree must be converted into law by Parliament, where Meloni’s right-wing coalition holds a comfortable majority.
The decree also empowers Italy to pursue smugglers even if the crimes are committed “outside our national borders,” Meloni said.
Justice Minister Carlo Nordio told reporters that Italy will affirm its jurisdiction in cases where a deadly shipwreck, or other loss of life or injury to migrants, happens in “waters not under anyone’s (territorial) control.” That will apply when the smugglers’ vessel is headed to Italy.
The same decree will be wielded against those who finance the operations behind the smuggling, Nordio said.
Opposition politicians quickly criticized the government for failing to establish a more robust system of humanitarian corridors, so those fleeing war and persecution wouldn’t turn to people smugglers.
Instead, in a move apparently aimed at satisfying business lobbies that support Meloni’s government, her Cabinet approved devising a system that would facilitate foreigners trained abroad in programs recognized by Italy to obtain jobs as migrants as well as for seasonal farm workers.
Meloni said her government also intended to establish quotas for legal entrance by migrants “from those countries which work with Italy to crack down on traffickers and educate their citizens on the risks” of embarking on smugglers’ unseaworthy vessels.
Opposition leaders and humanitarian groups have decried the Italian authorities’ decision not to quickly dispatch coast guard rescue boats after a Frontex patrol aircraft spotted the wooden vessel about 40 nautical miles (72 kilometers) off Calabria’s coast hours before the pre-dawn wreck in rough seas.
Frontex is the European Union’s border and coastal protection agency.
Pressed by reporters, Meloni in Thursday stuck by her interior minister’s account to lawmakers earlier this week that Frontex — in its communication to Italian authorities late Feb. 25 — hadn’t indicated any sign of distress.
“We’re talking about a boat that navigated for three days and … never had a problem,” the premier said. ”It arrived in front of the Italian coast, 40 meters (yards) away. There wasn’t and there couldn’t have been any sign of a possible shipwreck” in the offing, she contended.
Meloni blamed the smugglers for waiting for an opportune moment to disembark the passengers and elude Italian authorities. Instead, the boat rammed the sandbank.
Prosecutors in Calabria are investigating whether Italy should have launched rescue operations following the aerial sighting by Frontex.
Meanwhile, hundreds more migrants have stepped ashore on the southern island of Lampedusa in recent days.
Many arrived without needing rescue. Italy’s coast guard and border police boats plucked dozens of others to safety this week in the central Mediterranean. Among them were 45 migrants, including five newborns, rescued on Wednesday, and 38 saved by the coast guard after their boat sank in Malta’s rescue sector.
In another Italian coast guard operation, 20 migrants were saved when their boat ran into trouble after setting out from Sfax, Tunisia, and a woman’s body was recovered, Italian state television said.
By Thursday afternoon, more than 1,300 migrants had reached Lampedusa by sea in the past few days.
Dozens of townspeople turned out on Thursday in solidarity with migrants in Cutro, a town of 8,000, which closed schools and cordoned off the area as part of security for the Cabinet meeting.
So far, the body of a migrant from Afghanistan has been buried in Calabria, that of a Tunisian victim was sent to Tunisia, a victim from Afghanistan was transported to Germany while four bodies were sent back to Pakistan. On Wednesday, seven bodies were transported to Bologna’s Muslim cemetery, while still others were prepared to be sent to Germany and Afghanistan.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Tom Brady was excused from training camp on Thursday, the first day of what Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said was a planned, 11-day absence from the team to address “personal things.”
Bowles said the 45-year-old quarterback’s break from practice was arranged before camp began, adding that Brady won’t return until after the Bucs’ preseason game at Tennessee on Aug. 20.
“Tom has been excused today. … He’s going to deal with some personal things. This is something we talked about before training camp started. We allotted this time because he wanted to get in and get chemistry with the guys with two weeks of training camp, knowing he wasn’t going to play the first two (preseason) games,” Bowles said after the Bucs concluded two days of controlled scrimmages against the Miami Dolphins.
Tampa Bay opens the preseason Saturday night against the Dolphins. The Bucs will also travel to Nashville for two days of practice ahead of their game against the Titans.
Backup quarterbacks Blaine Gabbert, Kyle Trask and Ryan Griffin will share snaps during Brady’s absence.
“He didn’t want to take away reps from Blaine, Kyle, as well as Griff, as far as going into these next two games. That’s something he can handle,” Bowles said. “We trust him. We talked about it. It was scheduled way before training camp.”
Brady, who retired in February only to change his mind six weeks later, was also excused from practice for personal reasons last Friday — two days after getting a scheduled day off for his 45th birthday.
Bowles said his confidence level is “pretty high” that Brady will be in the lineup for next month’s regular-season opener at Dallas.
“Per our conversation, I’m not worried,” Bowles said.

Kitten severely burned in dumpster fire finds forever home after full recovery
LAS VEGAS (Gray News) – A kitten that has fully recovered after being severely burned in a dumpster fire in early May has found its forever home.
The kitten, named Savannah, was adopted Tuesday after eight weeks of recovery.
On May 3, Clark County Animal Protection Services and Animal Foundation Las Vegas teamed up to save the 4-week-old kitten from a dumpster fire.
According to Clark County officials, after burn treatment, time in an incubator, and food, Savannah went to a foster home for rest and recovery.
County officials posted an update on Savannah’s progress on May 29, saying she still had scars from her burns but was healing well. They said Savannah is playful, loves attention, and should live a happy, normal life.
On Tuesday, county officials posted a final update, saying Savannah was fully healed and adopted. While her burns prevented rescuers from knowing what color her coat was, she now shows a healthy dilute tortoiseshell coloring of gray and tan.

-- Economic analysis reveals a 14% range in credit risk costs among nine PRT insurance providers --
-- Pensioners are not currently compensated for bearing the risk of lower quality insurers because their benefits are fixed --
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NISA Investment Advisors, LLC ("NISA") released a framework to help corporate pension plans and their fiduciaries discern their "Safest Available" annuity options under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"): "Pension Risk Transfers (PRT) May Be Transferring Risk to Beneficiaries." The analysis yielded surprising results, including a 14% range in credit risk costs among nine PRT insurance providers.
With annual PRT transactions running approximately $40 billion, the disparity puts pensioners at risk of losing as much as $5 billion per year in uncompensated credit risk. A considerable challenge is that pensioners' benefits are fixed -- they are not compensated for bearing the risk of lower quality insurers.
Potential remedies include reducing the list of prospective PRT insurance providers to those that corporate pension plans and their fiduciaries can more comfortably group as all "safest available." Another solution could be to require lower quality insurers to increase benefits by an amount that provides pensioners the appropriate compensation for this forced-upon credit risk.
According to David G. Eichhorn, CFA, NISA's CEO and Head of Investment Strategies:
- "Choosing an annuity provider for a PRT requires that fiduciaries conduct an in-depth review of the insurance company's creditworthiness."
- "We believe that the readily available bond market pricing of credit risk provides fiduciaries with an extremely useful, if not outright necessary, tool to evaluate potential annuity providers."
- "In our opinion, to cavalierly ignore the collective wisdom of the multitude of market participants who seek to price credit risk daily would seem imprudent."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Average long-term U.S. mortgage rates had their biggest one-week jump in 35 years with the Federal Reserve this week raising its key rate by three-quarters of a point in bid to tame high inflation.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported Thursday that the 30-year rate climbed from 5.23% last week to 5.78% this week, the highest its been since November of 2008 during the housing crisis.
Wednesday's rate hike by the Fed was its biggest in a single action since 1994.
The brisk jump in rates, along with a sharp increase in home prices, has been pushing potential homebuyers out of the market. Mortgage applications are down more than 15% from last year and refinancings are down more than 70%, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.
Those figures are likely to worsen with more Fed rate increases a near certainty.
The Fed’s unusually large rate hike came after data released last week showed U.S. inflation rose last month to a four-decade high of 8.6 %. The Fed’s benchmark short-term rate, which affects many consumer and business loans, will now be pegged to a range of 1.5% to 1.75% — and Fed policymakers forecast a doubling of that range by year’s end.
Higher borrowing rates appear to be slowing the housing market, a crucial part of the economy. Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes slowed for the third consecutive month in April as mortgage rates surged, driving up borrowing costs for would-be buyers as home prices soared.
On Tuesday, the online real estate broker Redfin, under pressure from the cooling housing market, said Tuesday that it was laying off 8% of its workers.
Homeownership has become increasingly difficult lately, especially for first-time buyers. Besides staggering inflation, rising mortgage rates and soaring home prices, the supply of homes for sale continues to be scarce.
The average rate on 15-year, fixed-rate mortgages, popular among those refinancing their homes, rose to 4.81% from 4.38% last week. A year ago, the rate was 2.24%.

Dennis Felix Edwards 4/11/1938 - 11/21/2022 Dennis Felix Edwards passed away on November 21, 2022 at age 84.
Dennis is survived by his wife, Ruby, an older sister, Veronna and 2 younger brothers, Keith & LaMar, his 6 children, 38 of his 39 grandchildren and 45 great-grandchildren, with one more great-grandbaby due next May.
Dennis was born on April 11, 1938 to his parents Felix Henry Edwards & Viola Winger Edwards in Logan, Utah. The family moved to Ogden, Utah where Dennis was baptized at age 8. Shortly after, they moved to Torrance, California. This is where Dennis was taught the trade of shoe repair from his father. Dennis lettered in diving, swimming and gymnastics.
Dennis met Ruby Fay Preston at church in Torrance. They both attended and graduated from seminary and high school in 1956. They were married and sealed in the Los Angeles Temple on January 18, 1957. They had 4 sons and 2 daughters: Brent Dennis, DeanPreston, Robert Winfield, Jayme Duane, Denise Elaine & Laura Lynne.
As professions; Dennis worked as a turret lathe operator at Douglas aircraft and was later taught to be a roofer by his brother, LaMar. Dennis then taught his sons and son-in-law to be roofers. However, Dennis always said his favorite job was when he worked at a movie theater. He treated many to free movies & popcorn!!
In December 1988, Dennis & Ruby moved to Preston, Idaho to take care of Dennis' parents. Dennis helped, and eventually took over, his father's shoe repair business.
Dennis & Ruby served a spanish-speaking mission to Trujillo, Peru from March 2005-Sept 2006.
For the last 14 years, Dennnis has struggled with blindness. He describes these as some of the best years, because he came to rely more on his sweetheart, Ruby, to help him with most of the basics of life. As for his most cherished things in life, Dennis considered his family and his testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ to be most important. He will be greatly missed, until we meet again.
Services will be held on Saturday, December 10, 2022, at 11:00 a.m. in the Preston North Stake Center, 310 N. State, Preston, Idaho. Friends and family may call Saturday from 10-10:45 a.m. at the stake center. Memories and condolences may be shared with the family at webbmortuary.com

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is facing a fresh round of scrutiny after the third blockbuster report in less than a month links him financially to GOP megadonor Harlan Crow.
ProPublica reported Thursday that Crow, a Dallas-based real estate developer, paid thousands of dollars in tuition to a private boarding school for Thomas’s great-nephew, whom Thomas has said he raised “as a son.”
Federal ethics laws require the justices to report gifts given to a “dependent child,” but that term is defined to only include the justices’ children or stepchildren. Thomas’s allies have insisted the payment doesn’t violate the disclosure law since it was for Thomas’s sister’s grandson.
But the revelation has only added to the increasing pressure from Democrats for the justices to adopt a binding code of ethics.
“Today’s report continues a steady stream of revelations calling Justices’ ethics standards and practices into question. I hope that the Chief Justice understands that something must be done—the reputation and credibility of the Court is at stake,” Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said in a statement.
When asked during a SiriusXM interview about impeaching Thomas, however, Durbin said “no.” He noted that only one justice, Samuel Chase, had been impeached previously, and Chase was acquitted in the Senate in 1805.
“I don’t think an impeachment is in the works, particularly with the House in a political situation that it’s in today,” Durbin said on “The Briefing with Steve Scully.”
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), a Judiciary Committee member, argued the matter should be referred to the Department of Justice.
“There’s a potential criminal violation in the misreporting or failure to report certain benefits, gifts and financial transactions. There’s just a drip, drip, drip of additional information that is gravely undermining the Court, but also creating the need for a full factual investigation,” Blumenthal said.
“If [the Justice Department] fails to do so, Congress definitely has a role,” he added.
Thomas did not return a request for comment through a court spokesperson.
Later on Thursday, The Washington Post reported that Leonard Leo, a conservative judicial activist who played a key role in the Supreme Court’s rightward shift, directed tens of thousands of dollars be paid to Thomas’s wife, Ginni, roughly a decade ago.
Leo requested that she not be named in the paperwork, according to the Post. Ginni Thomas, a conservative activist herself, has long insisted that she doesn’t talk about the court’s business with her husband.
Judiciary Committee Democrats have been hamstrung on taking action regarding the court, including on a potential subpoena for Chief Justice John Roberts. He declined an invitation from Durbin to appear at a Tuesday hearing on Supreme Court ethics, noting that it is “exceedingly rare” for a chief justice to give testimony.
That could change if Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who has been absent for months due to shingles, returns and once again gives Democrats an 11-10 majority on the panel — though even then subpoenaing the chief justice of the Supreme Court would be an extraordinary step.
Thursday’s ProPublica report was the latest financial transaction involving Thomas and Crow to come to light. The investigative outlet last month reported Thomas had accepted luxury trips from Crow, including flying on his private jet, without disclosing the travels.
ProPublica also reported Crow had purchased real estate from Thomas’s mother that Thomas had an interest in.
“The definition of insanity is seeing the same Supreme Court justice violate ethics rules over and over again and expecting him to actually hold himself accountable,” Sarah Lipton-Lubet, president of Take Back the Court Action Fund, said in a statement. “How many more examples of Thomas flouting disclosure rules do our elected leaders need to see before they intervene? Thomas needs to answer for his misconduct. It’s time to subpoena him.”
Republicans, on the other hand, indicated little willingness to wade into the waters related to the justice who has served on the court for 32 years. They say this is an issue for the Supreme Court to deal with and not something that requires congressional oversight. Interfering, they argue, would go against the separation of powers.
“The Supreme Court … writes its own rules and if there is any policing of those rules to be done, I think it ought to be done by them,” Sen. John Thune (S.D.), the No. 2 Senate Republican, told reporters. “I assume the members of the Court, who I have a high level of confidence in, will make the right decisions for the justices on the Court and for the people who work at the Supreme Court in the same way as we make the rules for all members of Congress.”
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), who recently indicated that he was dismayed by reports of the ethical issues for Thomas, said the Court needs to make ethics changes.
“These revelations with regards to a number of justices, both those appointed by Republicans and by Democrats, suggest that the Court itself needs to evaluate what their disclosure rules are and ethics rules are and methods for enforcing those,” Romney said. “I presume that the chief justice will undertake that.”
Republicans have further portrayed the Thomas scrutiny as a double standard, taking aim at the ethics of the high court’s liberal justices.
They note that liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg accepted an award in 2010 from the Woman’s National Democratic Club.
They have also pointed to liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor not recusing herself when the court considered taking up two cases involving book publisher Penguin Random House, despite disclosing payments from the conglomerate for her books. Conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch, who also received payments from the publisher for his book, similarly did not recuse.

Which dog bandanas are best?
You can’t deny how cute dogs look in bandanas, which is why they’re so popular among dog owners. Dog bandanas are sized specifically for dogs and are often easier to fold and tie on your canine companion compared to bandanas made for humans.
Choosing the right bandana for your dog can seem baffling when you see how many options are out there. Remy+Roo Dog Bandanas are an excellent choice for anyone who wants easy-to-tie bandanas with contemporary designs.
What to know before you buy a dog bandana
Materials
Dog bandanas are usually made from either cotton or polyester. While cotton is more breathable, it can fade in the wash, unlike colorfast polyester. For more information on the pros and cons of these materials, take a look at the full guide to bandanas at BestReviews.
You can also find the best dog bandanas made from cooling materials to help keep dogs from feeling too hot on warm days.
Size
Most dog bandanas come in a range of sizes to suit different dogs. Bandanas with tie closures are completely adjustable so the length of the part that ties around the neck isn’t quite as important as the size of the fabric triangle, which might look too large on a small dog, even if you could adjust it to fit. Most dog bandanas will list the neck circumference they’re designed to fit, so you may need to measure around your dog’s neck or measure the length of its collar to find the right size.
Design
You can find dog bandanas in a classic bandana print, but also in a range of other designs. Some are quite contemporary-looking, which is great if you want a modern take on the bandana. Others feature popular patterns, such as plaid or polka dots. It’s even possible to buy your dog an American flag bandana.
What to look for in a quality dog bandana
Closure type
Bandanas traditionally tie closed. While the majority of dog bandanas simply tie up, some pet parents find this unnecessarily fiddly and time-consuming. Instead, some bandanas for dogs fasten with snaps, plus you can also find bandana collars that consist of a triangle of bandana material attached to a regular collar with a clip or buckle closure.
Double-sided
You can find double-sided dog bandanas with two different designs, one on each side. These are great for dog owners who aren’t sure which bandana design to pick for their canine companion, as they get two in one and can easily switch between them.
Adjustability
Some dog bandanas are more easily adjustable than others. Conventional bandanas can be adjusted to any length within the constraints of the bandana’s size. Other tie bandanas consist of a triangle of material with ties coming off the triangle, so these can only be adjusted along the length of the tie portion. The least adjustable are bandanas with snaps or bandana collars with buckle fastenings.
How much you can expect to spend on dog bandanas
Dog bandanas are often sold in bundles — expect to pay between $10-$25 for a pack of four.
Dog bandanas FAQ
Is it okay for dogs to wear bandanas?
A. Yes, it’s fine for dogs to wear bandanas — it’s no less safe than wearing a collar. Most dogs are completely happy to wear bandanas, but if your dog seems to be bothered by wearing one, remove it right away: It’s only a cosmetic accessory, so there’s no reason to use one if your dog doesn’t like it.
What does a yellow bandana on a dog mean?
A. The Yellow Dog Project is a movement to spread awareness about dogs who need space. If a dog is wearing a yellow bandana, a yellow jacket, a yellow ribbon on its leash or any other conspicuously yellow item, it may mean that it’s nervous, reactive, in training, recovering from an injury or needs space for some other reason and shouldn’t be too closely approached. Of course, some people may not know the significance of a yellow bandana and might just like the color. If your dog needs space while out and about, it’s worth trying out a yellow bandana — even if only half of the people know what it means, it’s better than nothing.
What’s the best dog bandana to buy?
Top dog bandana
What you need to know: This pack of four bandanas features cute, contemporary designs and is perfect for dogs of most sizes.
What you’ll love: You get a choice of small, large or extra-large bandanas. They’re easy to tie and adjustable to get a precise fit. Double-layered and durable, these bandanas don’t look cheap or flimsy.
What you should consider: While Remy+Roo offers other four-packs with different designs, there’s no option to customize a package, so you may end up with multiple bandanas that aren’t to your taste.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Top dog bandana for the money

Worth checking out
What you need to know: With their snap closures, these bandanas are great for dog owners who don’t want the hassle of tying a classic bandana.
What you’ll love: Thanks to their double-sided design, featuring polka dots on one side and a classic bandana print on the other, you get two unique designs from each bandana. Each pack of four contains four different colors.

CALEDONIA – A fumble on first-and-goal at the 2-yard line on the opening drive might have been enough to send the Caledonia football team into a tailspin early this season.
But the Cavaliers of November are above all that. A flu-ravaged Caledonia team (5-6) missing half its starting defense showed its mettle in Friday’s MHSAA Class 4A playoff opener against New Albany (7-4), putting the potentially critical turnover out of mind in a 21-18 win.
The Cavaliers advanced to take on Clarksdale on the road next week in the second round.
“It’s a big-time win for our football program,” Caledonia coach Michael Kelly said. Caledonia rallied from a 10-point deficit in the second quarter, scoring three consecutive touchdowns to propel itself into a double-digit lead.
The Cavaliers went two-for-one around the halftime break, scoring with 57 seconds left in the second quarter and taking the lead on Ethan Ramirez’s 2-yard touchdown run with 9:22 to go in the third.
Daniel Wilburn Jr. put Caledonia up by 11 with a 50-yard keeper in the fourth quarter.
New Albany quarterback Braden Shettles responded with a 5-yard touchdown pass to Jayden Hicks, but Caledonia got the ball back with under five minutes to go and put the game away.
The Cavaliers ran out the clock both on the game and on a promising season for the Bulldogs.
“The biggest thing about this team, I think, is their relentless effort,” New Albany coach Cody Stubblefield said. “They battled week in, week out. There was never any issue as far as us not giving great effort. They did it all year. They battled.”
New Albany made its surge in the second quarter, with Whit Robbins opening the scoring on a 27-yard field goal and Kody Atkinson adding a 36-yard touchdown run.
The Bulldogs converted multiple long fourth-down tries on their last touchdown drive thanks to impressive throws by the freshman Shettles and nice catches by wideout Jeb Bolen and running back Jareil Bowling.
“That was just guys making plays,” Stubblefield said. “They got a lot of pressure on Braden. He was able to elude it for just a minute and keep his eyes downfield and found somebody, and then the guy with great concentration made a catch on it.”
Extra Points
Turning Point: After New Albany’s second-quarter touchdown to take a 10-0 lead, Ramirez’s 47-yard run up the middle set up a score for Caledonia.
Point Man: Ramirez also blocked a 40-yard field goal and had several key plays on defense.
Talking Point: “We’ve got to get healthy. Maybe the flu will get on out of Lowndes County.” – Kelly
Notes
• New Albany was called for 17 penalties in the contest.
• Caledonia has won three of its last four, including a 34-14 win over Shannon last week to secure a home playoff game.

A new study finds the majority of coal-fired power plants in the U.S. are more expensive to operate than swapping out for solar. That’s according to the nonpartisan think tank Energy Innovation Policy and Technology.
Here & Now‘s Deepa Fernandes looks at what the findings could mean for the future of power in Kentucky, where most of the electricity comes from coal. She speaks with Ryan Van Velzer, energy and environment reporter for Louisville Public Media.

Jefferson County BOE working to overcome challenges caused by recent ransomware attack
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - The Jefferson County school district declared the recent ransomware attack an emergency as they continue working to restore their network.
This allows Superintendent Gonsoulin to take action and quickly direct funding to any issue caused by the attack.
He stresses that right now the district is working in phases and basing everything on how important the item is to the district.
“One of our first priorities was that we bring up the phones and at this particular time we have phone services at all of our schools,” said Jefferson County Schools Superintendent Dr. Walter Gonsoulin.
Right now, not all the phones are working, but every school has phone services. The technology department’s next priority - ensuring that all students will be able to take the necessary testing.
“They began to work on phases to build wireless Chromebook networks for the sole purpose of testing at each one of these schools. At this particular time, at all of our schools, we have the capability for testing to occur.”
But how much longer will this impact the school district?
“Definitely can’t give you, or wouldn’t give you a timeline because I don’t want to give expectations that might not be able to be met. I want to be clear to everyone, this is a serious matter. It is going to take time. We want to do it right but we want to do it as quickly as possible, but safely as possible too.”
The district posted daily updates last week to their website under the Public Information tab. You can find the links by clicking here.

An open race for Washington’s 30th Legislative District Position 2 seat centers on housing affordability and safety for those living in South King County.
Four candidates — the Rev. Cary Anderson, Mark Greene, Kristine Reeves and Ashli Tagoai — are vying for the seat that will be vacated by single-term Rep. Jesse Johnson, who was originally appointed to the seat vacated by Reeves in 2020, and elected to keep the seat later that year.
Johnson is not seeking reelection to represent the district, which covers much of the southern part of King County, including Federal Way, Pacific and South Auburn. Instead, the two Republicans and two Democrats will face off in the August open primary.
With record-setting gun violence in King County in both 2020 and 2021, one shared priority among candidates is public safety.
Tagoai and Greene both name public safety as their top issue facing the district and say the way to address rising crime in the area is by bolstering law enforcement by undoing police reform policies that have been implemented by the Legislature since a national reckoning with police violence that began in 2020.
“With the police reform laws, you have a lack of accountability as far as people breaking the law. You know, people criminals are a lot more involved in so I think that there needs to be a sense of accountability,” said Tagoai, a young attorney who lives in Auburn, noting her growing concern for personal safety when out running.
Specifically, Tagoai and Greene said the state should repeal one recent law that requires law enforcement to obtain probable cause before using force.
Anderson, a lead minister at Seattle’s First AME Church, noted the need for improved policing, but called for the state to support mental health and substance abuse services in preventing crime.
“We need to allow and permit the police to have the necessary tools that they need to carry out their work, but we also need to hire and bring other professionals into the realm of fighting crime and de-escalation,” Anderson said.
Anderson later noted that preventing violent crime was personal to him as a pastor who has hosted funerals for victims of gun violence and after being shot in the hip by a BB-gun last week while placing campaign signs, according to a report he filed with the King County Sheriff’s Office.
Another unifying issue for candidates is the rising cost of housing in King County, where the median cost of a single family home was up about 20% this spring over the same point in 2021. The median home price was $660,000 in Southwest King County and $780,000 in Southeast King County.
Anderson, whose church operates multiple nonprofit affordable housing developments, said the answer to housing instability and homelessness is providing more affordable housing (costing no more than 30% of a household’s income) and allowing fewer evictions.
“Right now people can’t find a place to stay with affordable rent … so they rent where they can barely afford and then get put out when they fall behind,” Anderson said.
“Much of the homelessness we have is because there were evictions when someone needed a few more days to pay their rent, and they weren’t given time to catch up,” he added, advocating for broader protections against evictions.
Tagoai, however, said the Legislature needs to protect landlords to improve the housing market, calling some recent and proposed housing reform options — like COVID-related eviction moratoria and rent control — “dramatized” and “one-sided,” too often favoring the tenant.
“So the downstream effect to that is housing providers are leaving the industry and when you take out housing options, then you have a supply and demand shift, and price increase,” Tagoai said.
Reeves, a Federal Way mother of two who served in the vacant seat from 2017-2019 before leaving to run for Congress, mentioned housing, climate change and education as top concerns for her campaign, noting she had 10 to 20 bills she would “drop tomorrow” if she got elected.
But in order to “move policy” if she’s reelected, she said she is campaigning on her approach to votes, rather than individual policy, calling upon her first term in office.
“Everyone [voting on policy] has to have an opinion on everything, and some people come in with a policy bias where they are all about one issue,” Reeves said, noting that she didn’t want to campaign on a limited number of policies.
“I will vote on a lot of issues so what I will do is commit to framing everything through the lens of educational opportunity, economic opportunity, and equity and inclusion,” she said.
Reeves also said she would prioritize systematic changes in the Legislature, aiming to make it a more welcoming environment for women and people of color.
“I was operating an institution that wasn’t built for me, by me or with my inclusion in mind,” Reeves said, recalling hearings of the part-time Legislature that would be scheduled after business hours and impact her parenting.
“We spend millions of dollars recruiting and training women and people of color to run for office, and yet we spend zero dollars helping them when they’re in office,” she added.
Greene, a perennial candidate and legal assistant by trade, did not mention housing as a priority, but rather has his sights set on a broader political shift, to “make sure that we have more respect for American constitutional values and institutions.”
Greene said he would fight against progressive policies if elected, hoping to ban abortion in most cases and prevent public schools from becoming “radicalized” through critical race theory and gender studies.
“These are minority beliefs that the Washington Legislature is advocating,” Greene said, condemning the state’s majority-Democrat lawmakers. “So we need more legislators in there that will overcome that and be the majority.”
In the last decade, Greene has run for office six times, trying to become a Congress member, Washington lieutenant governor and King County Elections director. He run for this same District 30 position twice before, losing to Reeves in the 2018 general election and not making it beyond the primary in 2020.
