California proposal would reinstate prisoners' voting rights
Los Angeles – California voters could decide whether to reinstate voting rights to people in prison on felony convictions under a newly proposed constitutional amendment.
It would be a major expansion of suffrage for incarcerated people if passed. California would join Maine and Vermont, as well as the District of Columbia, as the only states where felons never lose their right to vote, even while they are in prison, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
The California bill, introduced Monday by Assemblyman Isaac Bryan, proposes an amendment to the state constitution.
“Democracy thrives when everybody has a chance to have their voice heard," Bryan wrote on Twitter.
Two-thirds of each chamber of the state legislature must vote yes for the bill just for it to appear on the ballot as a proposition. Voters must then approve it by a simple majority for it to become a constitutional amendment.
California is currently among 21 states where felons only lose their right to vote while they are incarcerated, the conference says. The right is automatically reinstated upon release.
Some states’ laws require probation and parole to be completed for the restoration of voting rights. In other states, people incarcerated on certain crimes lose their rights indefinitely after release.
The California constitution currently disqualifies people who are incarcerated in state or federal prison from voting and restores the right upon their release. The law previously required felons to complete their parole period before getting back their right to vote; Californians approved the change to get rid of that requirement in a 2020 constitutional amendment.
Bryan, a Los Angeles Democrat and the chair of the Assembly's Committee on Elections, faces a tough sell for the 2/3rds votes. While the Legislature is controlled by Democrats, the party has conservative representatives from rural areas and major progressive policies aren't guaranteed to pass.
The committee's Republican vice chair, Assemblyman Tom Lackey, opposes the bill.
“Criminal acts should have consequences. Voting is a sacred privilege, not an absolute right of citizenship,” wrote Lackey, a Republican from Southern California, on Twitter.

Kevin Mobley grew up in South Boston, Virginia, eating macaroni and cheese made by his great-grandmother. Anna Bell lived and gardened on a couple acres of land and got milk from her own cow. He cooked with her but never wrote the recipe down. “Over the past 20-plus years, as an adult, I spent time re-creating that recipe exactly the way that it was,” says Mobley, who runs a tech company by day. Like Anna Bell, he uses English cheddar. Mobley sources milk from Working Cows Dairy in Alabama and organic wheat pasta from Italy. (“The way wheat is processed there is much closer to her time,” he says.) In 2018, when he finally nailed it, he founded Anna Bell’s Mac and Cheese. He began selling his product—rich, with just the right amount of tanginess—at Peachtree Road Farmers Market and now offers it online as well as at local retailers like Floral Park Market.
In 2020, Hyatt hotels launched a program to support local businesses struggling during the pandemic, and Mobley got the opportunity to work out of the Hyatt Regency’s kitchen downtown—which felt like a full-circle moment. Thomas Jefferson’s enslaved chef, James Hemings, created a version of mac and cheese that helped popularize the dish; now, Mobley, a Black entrepreneur, is making his great-grandmother’s recipe in the building known as the “Hotel of Hope” because it allowed leaders of the civil rights movements to gather there. “I give a lot of credit to my great-grandmother,” says Mobley. “I just think that she’s actively working in our business and that my job is just to be the hands, to be there, to do what she’s asking me to do.”

(NerdWallet) – The housing market is in grim shape. People yearn to buy but are thwarted by rising mortgage rates, unaffordable homes and an inadequate supply of properties for sale.
The hopeful news is that America has been through this before — in 1981 — and things eventually got better. The sobering news is that the early-’80s housing market stayed alive courtesy of some factors that barely exist this time around. We will have to construct a new path out of this mess.
How 2022 resembles the early ’80s
The similarities between now and then start generationally: In 1981, the oldest baby boomers were 35 years old, and that cohort was in full homebuying mode. The first millennials were born that year, and that next-largest generation has been diligently searching for homes in recent years.
Both generations were walloped by rapidly rising mortgage rates following a series of rate hikes by an inflation-fighting Federal Reserve:
- When the average interest rate on the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage reached an all-time high of 18.63% in October 1981, it had risen almost 5 percentage points in 12 months. Rates had gone up almost as fast during a spell in 1980.
- This year, when the 30-year mortgage reached 7.08% in early November, it had gone up 4.1 percentage points in 12 months. (All percentages are from Freddie Mac’s weekly survey, going back to 1971.)
The rapid climbs in mortgage rates forced would-be home buyers to skedaddle out of the market. Year-over-year existing home sales plunged 22.3% in 1980 and then another 18.6% in 1981, according to historical data from the National Association of Realtors. This year, the pace of existing home sales dropped 28.4% in the 12 months ending in October, according to the NAR.
Finally, “rate lock-in” accompanied both eras. That’s when homeowners keep their properties off the market because they want to hang onto their low-rate mortgages.
- March 1981: A real estate executive told The New York Times that home sales were being inhibited because “Nobody wants to lose their low-interest mortgage.”
- September 2022: NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun said, “Some homeowners are unwilling to trade up or trade down after locking in historically low mortgage rates in recent years.”
A big difference: The role of assumable loans
For all the similarities between the 1980s and today, there are key differences. One of them involves “assumable mortgages,” which were plentiful then and are in short supply now.
Many mortgages were assumable at the dawn of the 1980s. With an assumable mortgage, the buyer not only gets ownership of the house but takes over the seller’s home loan, too. Picture yourself trying to buy a house when mortgage rates are in the double digits. You find a home seller who has an assumable loan with an interest rate in the single digits. That home may be affordable if you can take over the loan; it might not be affordable at a double-digit interest rate.
Home sellers spotlighted their assumable loans in classified ads. “If you had an 8% loan in a 14% market, it would differentiate your house as far as salability,” says Ted Tozer, nonresident fellow with the Urban Institute’s Housing Finance Policy Center. He says “a ton” of mortgage assumptions were done in the early ’80s.
But Congress slammed the door on assumable loans in 1982. Now only a subset of mortgages are readily assumable: those insured or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Agriculture’s Rural Housing Service. Together, FHA, VA and USDA loans accounted for around 18% of mortgage origination volume in the second quarter of 2022, according to data gathered by the Urban Institute.
An era of creative financing
Assumable loans helped to keep home sales stumbling along in the early ’80s when mortgage rates were extraordinarily high. They also served as the foundation for what was called “creative financing,” which filled the gap between the purchase price and the assumed mortgage balance.
In most cases, creative financing took the form of loans to buyers from the sellers; for instance, in the form of a promissory note for a certain amount the buyer would pay the seller every month, with the buyer possibly taking out a second mortgage for the remainder of the purchase price. The arrangements had names such as “contract for deed,” “wraparound mortgage” and “lease with an option to buy.” A June 1981 Washington Post article said creative financing accounted “for more than 50% of all 1981 home resales in many parts of the United States.”
More than 40 years have gone by, and 1980s-style creative financing isn’t coming back. Lenders frowned on the ad hoc transfers of loans they had originally made and wanted to write new loans at current interest rates as properties changed hands. Consumer advocates warned of the risk to buyers and sellers of informal and unconventional schemes that could leave either party holding a worthless contract, or committed to an unsupportable payment structure.
A need for new solutions
If 1980s-era creative financing is out of the picture, will banks or Silicon Valley or home sellers come up with 2020s-style resourcefulness? Some ingenuity might be needed to keep home sales sputtering along instead of faceplanting. Maybe it will be something that already exists, but hasn’t caught on yet, such as wider adoption of accessory dwelling units, 3D-printed houses or groups of friends banding together to share ownership of homes.
Whatever happens, any predictions will look silly in hindsight. Consider the Dallas real estate agent who spoke to D Magazine in 1980, when the 30-year mortgage was above 15%. “Chances are,” he said, “we’ll never see home mortgage interest fall back into the single-digit range again.”
Thankfully, mortgage rates did eventually fall into the single digits, where they’ve stayed since 1991. Not only that, plenty of people got 30-year mortgages at interest rates below 3% just last year. History tells us that the housing market will get better, even if we go through rocky times on the way to recovery. | 2022-12-03T20:56:08+00:00 | krqe.com | https://www.krqe.com/news/national/it-has-been-this-bad-before-how-home-buyers-got-it-done-in-1981/ |
Duke University to cover tuition for NC, SC students whose families earn $150K or less
Starting this fall, Duke University will offer free tuition to students from the Carolinas whose families earn $150,000 a year or less.
Duke will also provide additional financial aid for housing, meals and books for North Carolina and South Carolina students with family incomes of $65,000 or less, the research university in Durham announced this week.
"This additional financial support for undergraduates reflects Duke’s commitment to our students from the Carolinas," Duke University President Vincent Price said in a news release. "By providing even more equitable access to a Duke education, and ensuring students have the resources they need to truly thrive while here at Duke, we will also make our campus community stronger."

The program is for all undergraduate students who qualify, Duke said, benefiting about 340 students next academic year.
"We want to make it easier for families to choose Duke," said Gary Bennett, dean of Trinity College of Arts & Sciences. "Attending college can expand a family’s opportunities for generations, and we aim to make the Duke experience as widely accessible as we can."

Duke has more than 1,000 undergraduate students from North Carolina, more than from any other state. North Carolina students represent 16% of the total student body, and an additional 160 are from South Carolina.
"This is our home, and it's where we have our most longstanding commitment," Price said. "We want families in the Carolinas to know that a Duke education can be affordable, and that we will provide support and resources so all students who are admitted to Duke can have an exceptional college experience."

This new financial aid will be funded by "university resources," the school said, and is expected to increase grant assistance to North and South Carolina students by about $2 million for the 2023-24 academic year.
Duke officials expect that number to rise to $6 million - $7 million a year as more eligible students from the Carolinas enroll in the next five years.
"We know that students with greater financial constraints are more likely to choose colleges that are closer to their homes, and that many of those students will also choose to stay closer to home after they graduate," Bennett said. "Retaining talent is critical to our region’s success; Duke’s commitment to these students is also a commitment to the North and South Carolina communities they call home." | 2023-06-21T16:32:09+00:00 | fox35orlando.com | https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/duke-university-free-tuition-students-north-carolina-south-carolina |
The Columbia High Bruins boys basketball team won two games last week to improve its record to 3-1.
The Bruins won, 55-33, over the Corbett High Cardinals (0-5) Dec. 12 at Corbett High School, followed by 54-45 win over the Hudson’s Bay High Eagles (0-6) Dec. 16 at Columbia High School in White Salmon.
The Bruins, guided by first-year Coach John Hallead, played with six of their regular varsity players in the games, as the team has been hit hard by illness.
“I guess now is the time to get that winter sickness out of the way before league contests begin,” said Hallead. “I have to give tremendous kudos to our role players for stepping up, as well as our junior varsity players we pulled up to play with the varsity this week. We really didn’t miss a beat.”
In last Friday’s home game versus Hudson’s Bay, freshman Mason Hamilton led the Bruins in scoring with 20 points and junior Dylan Nortz added 13. Columbia led 12-7 at the end of the first quarter and 28-23 at halftime. The Bruins extended their lead to 45-39 after three quarters and then outscored the Eagles 9-6 in the fourth for the final margin.
“I was pleased with our defensive efforts against a very athletic Hudson’s Bay opponent, and it was definitely a big challenge for us,” said Hallead. “We allowed them (Eagles) to have a big run in the middle of the third quarter and they briefly took the lead. Our boys held firm though and we quickly got the lead back with a 9-0 run to take the lead for good.
“Senior Spencer Karlson is usually our leading scorer, but he took on a different role. We needed him to be our ball handler and our assist guy while directing our offense. He welcomed that role and it was good to see him go out there and help us do whatever he needed to do to help us get a win.”
In the match up at Corbett, Columbia led 26-21 at halftime and then outscored the Cardinals 29-12 in the second half to pull away and get a double-digit victory.
Karlson, a 6-foot-3 forward, led a balanced offense with 16 points, seven rebounds and three blocks. Bruin senior Osvaldo Orozco scored 11 points and Nortz added 10. Columbia’s Porter Haskell, a 6-9 senior post, had eight points, 10 rebounds and five blocked shots. Orozco had a team-high nine steals.
“I was very happy with our defensive effort against Corbett,” said Hallead. “Ozzy (Orozco), Armando Celaya and Dylan are very good perimeter defenders. When they are harassing guards, other teams are forced to get the ball inside. That’s a big defensive strength for us with Porter and Spencer defending inside.”
The Bruins were seeking to get a third straight win in a non-league match up Dec. 20 against the Riverside High Pirates in Boardman (result was after the printed edition deadline). The Bruins play Dec. 27 at 4 p.m. versus the Montesano High Bulldogs (0-3) at Montesano High School. | 2022-12-21T04:56:36+00:00 | columbiagorgenews.com | https://www.columbiagorgenews.com/sports/bruin-boys-shuffle-basketball-lineup-win-twice/article_4035d0e6-80ae-11ed-bb21-2b3524b249df.html |

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) says the government might want to reconsider the size of the bank accounts it insures. Accounts are currently insured up to $250,000.
The FDIC suggests a larger limit for certain business accounts might have advantages. The recommendation comes after First Republic Bank collapsed this weekend. The bank had a large share of uninsured deposits, which can worsen bank runs. All the bank's deposits, and most of its assets, were sold to JPMorgan Chase. This transaction required a regulatory waiver as JPMorgan Chase already controls more than 10% of all U.S. insured deposits, a limit set by law for any bank merger.
NPR's Leila Fadel talks to Tomas Philipson, former acting chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, about the risks of JPMorgan Chase becoming even bigger after it took over First Republic Bank.
The interview has been condensed and edited for clarity and length.
Interview highlights
On the regulations to stop big banks from growing too big
I think the problem is that we are getting these too big to fail policies are essentially increasing concentration in the banking sector. And that's what people worry about, because that ultimately leads to lower deposit rates and higher interest rates on loans, etc.
I think FDIC, when they get into a situation when they're bailing out a bank like First Republic, they're looking at their costs a century in the future and they try to minimize those. So, it's an additional bias that they have for big players. JPMorgan is by far the largest bank in the country. It's 2.4 trillion in deposits and this is just a 3% add to their deposits of taking on First Republic.
On what it means for consumers when a bank gets this large
In any industry, when you have a lot of concentration, you have less price competition. Less price competition in the banking sector means lower deposit rates for deposits you make to them and higher rates on the interest rates that they lend out at.
On how to stop banks from failing
You can't have a fail-free banking system that's not good for competition. So I think, you know, the poor people in, you know, in the economy are protected by the FDIC. If you have less than a quarter million in deposits or cash at a bank with which, you know, covers a large share of the population, you are protected by your deposits being insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. So the question is, are you going to have a system where the rich people are also covered by regulation.

Calling it quits! The Family Chantel stars Chantel Everett and Pedro Jimeno have split.
According to court documents obtained by ET, Pedro filed for divorce from his wife on May 27. Court records show that, on the same day, a mutual restraining order was filed.
The news comes after the tumultuous deterioration of their marriage played out for fans during the current season of their TLC reality series, The Family Chantel.
The show -- which is the first spin-off series of TLC's hit show 90 Day Fiancé which follows a single couple -- has been a showcase of the former couple's marital problems throughout season 4, which premiered in early June.
During the episodes this season, Pedro has accused Chantel of being "selfish" and lazy, while Chantel has had recurring concerns regarding Pedro's close friendships with some of his female co-workers.
In a super-tease for the season, which dropped last month, the pair also discuss the possibility of separation, and get in several epic screaming matches.
Fans will likely get a chance to see what led to Pedro's decision to file for divorce and what led to the mutual restraining orders. The Family Chantel airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on TLC.

URBANA, Ill. (WAND) — Carle Health and Aetna have finalized the Aetna Medicare Advantage PPO agreement that was proposed in October.
Before such an agreement was reached, many retired State of Illinois employees would have had to switch away from their long-time providers at Carle in the new year.
“This contract was very important to our patients and the Carle Health system,” Dennis Hesch, Executive Vice President & Chief Financial, Strategy Officer, at Carle Health says. “Now, state retirees who have come to know and trust Carle can continue to count on Carle for their healthcare needs in 2023 without interruption.”
The updated contract expands the in-network status to include the Carle Health East Central Illinois (Carle Foundation Hospital, Carle Physician Group and Carle Hoopeston Regional Health Center) and Southern Illinois (Carle Richland Memorial Hospital) regions. It will take a few weeks for both Aetna and Carle to update their systems, but services covered under the Aetna Medicare Advantage PPO plan will be considered in-network by both parties on the contract effective date.
“Aetna is dedicated to providing our members with access to affordable, local, convenient care that helps them achieve better health,” said Rick Frommeyer, Senior Vice President, Aetna Group Retiree Solutions. “We are pleased to join with Carle Health in finalizing an agreement that will enable us to work together to serve the care needs of retired Illinois state employees.”

Tesla has a number of other future products under development, it teased on Wednesday, as part of its quarterly update for investors. And while there’s no guarantee we’ll get an update on persistent rumors like the affordable Model 2, some of those upcoming products may be revealed as part of a March 1 Investor Day.
With scaled-up Semi production due at the Nevada Gigafactory expansion announced this week, and a whopping 100 gigawatt-hours of additional cell production of its new 4680-format cylindrical cells due from a new factory on the complex, Tesla will have enough cells for 1.5 million light-duty vehicles, it said.
To parse that out, at about 900 kwh for the Tesla Semi battery pack and the hopes to eventually ramp production of the Semi up to 50,000 trucks per year, that leaves a lot of extra batteries—more than half of the allotment coming from the expanded plant, even if the Semi’s a hit—for other products (keep in mind the existing Gigafactory will still be supplying Fremont, and Giga Texas will have its own battery plant).
So which other products are on the horizon at Tesla, to be built with those batteries?
“I alluded to a number of future products; those future products would use the 4680,” said CEO Elon Musk, referring to what else might be built with that added battery capacity.
Hints in the numbers, maybe
If it’s any hint, Tesla suggested that 100 gigawatt-hours was enough for 1.5 million vehicles, and that allows for less than 67 kwh per vehicle. While it’s unlikely for so many Standard Range cars to return to the U.S., does that mean some much smaller or last-mile vehicles are among them?
Answers might come relatively soon. As the company hinted on Wednesday, its March 1 Investor Day might include product announcements, more info on the development of its next-generation vehicle platform, and the expansion of its manufacturing footprint, all as part of an update on the company’s roadmap.
“We have other products in development…they’re very exciting, and I think we’ll blow people’s minds when we reveal them” hyped Musk. “Tesla has the most exciting product roadmap of any company on Earth by a long shot.”
Musk hadn’t provided much detail on what that might be, until George Gianarikas of Canaccord Genuity asked whether, given the huge tax incentives afforded for commercial vehicles, Tesla was considering accelerating commercial-vehicle form factors outside the Semi.
“Well I was basically saying that, yes,” said Musk adding that he couldn’t yet provide details.
But, as the CEO often does in such interactions, he couldn’t resist providing some background.
Musk explained: “We’re always looking at what is the limiting factor for new vehicles, because for the longest time we’ve been constrained on total-cell, lithium-ion production output. And so people say, like, why not bring this other car to market at that other car market? Well, it doesn’t really help. But all you’re doing is shuffling around the batteries from one car to another.”
He added simply that it’s pointless and counterproductive, because you end up with a complex model to build without solving the battery problem.
A product that fits the cells, where they’re available
“We want a new-product introduction to match where cells are available for that new product, to use those sales without cannibalizing the sales of the other cars,” continued Musk. “That’s the actual limiting factor for any new models, not anything else really.”
Does that mean a solar product aiming to reduce dependency on batteries? A Robovan or Cybervan? A delivery vehicle? A version of the $25,000 Tesla? Or a Tesla model specifically for ride-hailing?
Maybe Tesla should make a highly configurable Robovan for people & cargo?
— Mr. Tweet (@elonmusk) July 7, 2022
Uber just last week said that it’s working with unnamed EV makers to create customized vehicles for ride-hailing and delivery, so it could for instance be the product of such a partnership.
Musk tends to get well ahead of what Tesla has actually delivered. Tesla still hasn’t delivered the Cybertruck, and it says it won’t deliver any significant numbers of them this year, with a production ramp to follow in 2024. And in a quarterly update Wednesday it didn’t provide any update on the Roadster.
Musk meanwhile revealed an added layer of complexity for the Cybertruck—that it will have Tesla’s next-generation Hardware 4 set for safety and assisted-driving features.

JERUSALEM — Israel is set to advance plans for the construction of 4,000 settler homes in the occupied West Bank, the interior minister said Friday.
If approved, it would be the biggest advancement of settlement plans since the Biden administration took office. The White House is opposed to settlement growth because it further erodes the possibility of an eventual two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked, a staunch supporter of settlements, tweeted that a planning committee would convene next week to approve 4,000 homes, calling construction in the West Bank a “basic, required and obvious thing.”
Israel’s Haaretz newspaper reported that the Civil Administration, a military body, would meet Thursday to advance 1,452 units, and that another 2,536 units would be approved by Defense Minister Benny Gantz.
The Defense Ministry referred questions to COGAT, the military body in charge of civilian affairs in the occupied West Bank. COGAT did not immediately respond to requests for comment. There was no immediate comment from the U.S. Embassy.
Israel captured the West Bank in the 1967 Mideast war and has built more than 130 settlements across the territory that are home to nearly 500,000 settlers. Nearly 3 million Palestinians live in the West Bank under Israeli military rule.
Earlier this week, Israel’s Supreme Court upheld an expulsion order that would force at least 1,000 Palestinians out of an arid region in the southern West Bank where they say they have been living for decades. The military declared the area a firing zone in the early 1980s.
The Palestinians want the West Bank to form the main part of their future state. They view the expansion of settlements as a major obstacle to any future peace deal because they reduce and divide up the land on which such a state would be established. Most of the international community views the settlements as illegal.
Israel’s current government is split between parties that oppose and support settlements. As a compromise, it has ruled out any major peace initiative or any move to formally annex parts of the West Bank. Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, a former leader of the main settler council, is opposed to Palestinian statehood.
Israel approved the construction of 3,000 settler homes in October despite a U.S. rebuke. Authorities have, however, paused some especially controversial projects in the wake of strong U.S. opposition.
Settlement construction can only be approved after a long bureaucratic process, and it was unclear how soon construction crews would be able to break ground on the 4,000 homes if they get a green light. The process also provides the opportunity for Israeli officials to pause or delay such projects. | 2022-05-06T17:01:31+00:00 | abqjournal.com | https://www.abqjournal.com/2496302/israeli-minister-touts-plans-to-approve-4000-settler-homes.html |
LAMPASAS, Texas (FOX 44) – UPDATE: The City of Lampasas issued an update Friday morning after a water main in Kempner ruptured and led to a Stage 5 Emergency Water Conservation for the city.
The City said that, as planned, the Kempner Water Supply Corporation started isolating the water line in the vicinity of the main break. This shut off the supply of water to Lampasas.
Kempner Water Supply crews and contractors finished preparation of the pipe, and will be placing shoring for repairs. Additional materials, including pipe, were being delivered on Friday morning, and the repair contractor is scheduled to be on site at noon.
Staff from the Lampasas Fire Department and Kempner Fire Department are standing by due to the nature of the work and the depth of the repair.
The City said that this is a “critical time” because the Lampasas water supply is not being replenished while repairs are being made. It is estimated that the water storage could last approximately 24 hours. Citizens are urged to conserve water.
The City also said that once repairs are made, it will take additional time to bleed and fill lines and tanks. The City has secured water to be made available when and if needed. Staff are prepared to implement contingency plans.
This is a developing story. FOX 44 News will have more information as it becomes available. | 2023-07-28T16:50:52+00:00 | fox44news.com | https://www.fox44news.com/news/local-news/lampasas-county/lampasas-water-supply-shut-off-as-repairs-being-made/ |
Volatile mortgage rates are changing what some potential home buyers can afford from week to week, requiring a smarter way to shop
- Zillow's new app filter allows shoppers to search for homes by a range of all-in monthly mortgage costs instead of list prices.
- Updated mortgage rates feed into the filter, meaning search results will stay within a shopper's budget, regardless of how rates or prices move.
- Monthly mortgage costs rose by $431 over the past year, often swinging by more than $100 per month.
SEATTLE, April 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Zillow® has a new way to shop that helps buyers navigate a rapidly changing market and find homes that fit their monthly budget. The new filter shows homes within a range of all-in monthly costs, instead of list prices. This monthly cost includes principal and interest, as well as estimates for insurance costs, taxes and HOA fees, clarifying a chief source of confusion for buyers.
Shoppers can use the monthly payment filter now on the Zillow app.
Last year's drastic rise in mortgage rates sent monthly costs for home buyers skyrocketing — nearly $700 more than the year before in recent months — and are now $431 higher than in March 20221. High rates combined with record-breaking home appreciation have nearly doubled monthly mortgage costs since 2020.
Rates are also extraordinarily volatile. Home prices nationwide started falling in June and flatlined this year, but shifting mortgage rates often swung costs by more than $100 month to month.
"Shoppers looking at list prices struggle to figure out what they can really afford, because the mortgage rate is what makes or breaks a monthly payment. Adding in costs like taxes, insurance and HOA fees can quickly bust a shopper's budget," said Amanda Pendleton, consumer finance expert at Zillow Home Loans. "This new search tool does the math, so shoppers can confidently jump into finding a home they love and can afford."
Shoppers can start with Zillow's linked affordability calculator, entering their down payment amount, income and debts to estimate the monthly mortgage cost they can afford. Then they enter their monthly budget range into the filter to start shopping. Updated mortgage rates feed into the filter, showing homes and hiding others to keep shoppers on budget as rates and price cuts change the monthly payment math.
A new survey from Zillow Home Loans finds that the most difficult financing activity among prospective home buyers is understanding all costs associated with a mortgage payment, followed by figuring out how much home they can afford, and researching mortgages and rates.
"Fast-rising mortgage rates last year pushed monthly costs up with unprecedented speed, dragging affordability to its lowest point in more than 20 years," said Orphe Divounguy, senior macroeconomist at Zillow Home Loans. "Beyond the high costs, volatile mortgage rates have made it extremely difficult to plan and budget to buy a house."
The new filter — coming soon to Zillow.com — is the latest Zillow technology helping buyers navigate a challenging affordability landscape. Down payment assistance that's built into listings — letting shoppers see what's available for them where they are looking — as well as mortgage and affordability calculators, can all help buyers make sense of the fast-moving market.
Although typical home values peaked in June before tapering off, mortgage rates that reached 20-year highs later in the year caused monthly mortgage payments to peak in October, Zillow data shows.

MOSCOW (AP) — The U.S. ambassador to Russia said Monday that she was able to visit the Wall Street Journal reporter who was detained more than two weeks ago on charges of espionage.
Ambassador Lynne Tracy said that she visited Evan Gershkovich in Moscow's Lefortovo Prison, notorious for harsh conditions, and “he is in good health and remains strong."
It was “the first time we’ve been permitted access to him since his wrongful detention more than two weeks ago,” she said on Twitter. “We reiterate our call for his immediate release.”
Gershkovich, 31, his employer and the U.S. government all deny he was involved in spying.
Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said last week that a possible prisoner exchange for Gershkovich could take place, but only after his trial is completed. No date has been set for that.
It’s not clear how long the investigation could last, but other espionage cases have lasted for a year or more.
In December, American basketball star Brittney Griner was exchanged for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout following her trial and conviction on drug possession charges. She had been sentenced to nine years in prison and ended up spending 10 months behind bars.
Another American, Michigan corporate security executive Paul Whelan, has been imprisoned in Russia since December 2018 on espionage charges that his family and the U.S. government have called baseless.
Gershkovich could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
Russia’s Federal Security Service arrested Gershkovich in Yekaterinburg, Russia’s fourth-largest city, on March 29. He is the first U.S. correspondent since the Cold War to be detained in Russia for alleged spying.
The service accuses Gershkovich of trying to obtain classified information about a Russian arms factory. | 2023-04-17T15:57:12+00:00 | daytondailynews.com | https://www.daytondailynews.com/nation-world/us-ambassador-visits-reporter-accused-by-russia-of-spying/ZOPTEIXJRNAKVFXCPUU4GIFQ5E/ |

HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii lawmakers failed to pass a bill that would have made tourists help pay for the protection of the state’s forests and wildlife even though the idea has widespread public and political support.
Lawmakers in the Democratic-controlled House and Senate did not resolve their differences over the measure’s details in time for a deadline at the end of this year’s legislative session, which concludes Thursday.
The measure would have required tourists to pay for a yearlong license or pass to visit state parks and trails. Revenue would have paid for the maintenance and protection of parks, coral reefs, forests and wildlife such as dolphins.
About 10 million visitors come to Hawaii each year, while the state’s population numbers just 1.5 million. Many travelers like to hike in the state’s forests, snorkel over its coral reefs and view wildlife, all of which stress the environment.
A bill that passed in the Senate would have set the license fee for tourists at $50, but the House deleted the dollar amount. During the past week, lawmakers discussed appropriating $360,000 for five full-time state employees to implement the plan but failed to reach a final agreement.
Testimony overwhelmingly favored a bill. The governor and House and Senate leaders backed the concept. A 2022 public opinion survey conducted by the Hawaii Tourism Authority showed broad support for charging visitors to access state parks and trails.
Democratic state Sen. Chris Lee said the bulk of the discussion at the Legislature had to do with how to have visitors pay for upkeep, improvements and protection of parks and natural resources but not whether to do so.
“I don’t think the bill failed to pass on the merits of the legislation and of the idea that we ought to be leveraging visitors to pay for these things,” Lee said. “I think it was more the question of how and when.”
He expects the bill to come up for consideration again next year and for lawmakers to come together to pass it. He said there’s an appetite for steps that will reduce the effects of tourism on the environment and cut costs for residents.
A spokesperson for Democratic Gov. Josh Green said his administration views the bill’s failure as an opportunity to have a more comprehensive discussion on managing tourism.
“With all the feedback we’ve received from this year’s legislation, we are optimistic that we can develop a detailed bill for the next session that will ensure a more sustainable future for our keiki,” said Makana McClellan, using the Hawaiian word for children.
Carissa Cabrera, project manager for the Hawaii Green Fee, a coalition of nonprofit groups supporting a fee, said the bill got farther this session than previous iterations have in the past and had more support than ever before.
“Just because the bill has died, the idea is not dead,” she said. | 2023-05-03T21:20:15+00:00 | wate.com | https://www.wate.com/news/national/ap-us-news/hawaii-lawmakers-fail-to-pass-annual-park-fee-for-tourists/ |
A former federal prosecutor fired by former President Trump on Monday condemned what he described as “unprecedented” political interference in his work during the Trump administration.
Former U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman, who served as the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan, said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” that the Trump-era Justice Department pressured him to indict former Obama White House counsel Greg Craig before the midterm elections and prosecute former Secretary of State John Kerry.
“I’ve never seen anything like that before, and I was a junior prosecutor in the Southern District in the early 90s and I’d never seen anything like that,” Berman told host George Stephanopoulos.
“People who have been in the office for 40 years never saw anything like that. It was unprecedented and scary,” Berman added.
The interview came one day before Berman is set to release his book, titled “Holding the Line.”
Trump fired Berman in June 2020 after he refused to resign, leading to what Berman described on Monday as a “noisy” departure that included him issuing a press release. Then-Attorney General William Barr accused Berman of choosing “public spectacle over public service” at the time.
Berman’s firing came after he began investigating Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal lawyer and so-called fixer. Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to campaign finance fraud and other charges.
On ABC, Berman said the Justice Department attempted to get him to remove mentions of “Individual-1” in the charging documents, which were references to Trump.
“They were unsuccessful in that venture, and they were unsuccessful in every attempt to politically interfere with our office,” Berman said. “We held the line in every instance.”
He also said Trump’s Justice Department pressured him to prosecute John Kerry for his Iran-related conduct.
The pressure came one day after Trump issued two tweets attacking Kerry over the Iran nuclear deal, which he helped negotiate as Obama’s secretary of State, Berman said. Trump claimed Kerry violated the Logan Act, which bans private citizens from negotiating with foreign governments without permission from the administration.
Around the same time, Trump withdrew the United States from the agreement.
“The statute they wanted us to use was enacted in 1799 and had never been successfully prosecuted,” Berman said on ABC. “So in about 220 years this criminal statute was on the books, there were no convictions.” | 2022-09-14T13:30:22+00:00 | pahomepage.com | https://www.pahomepage.com/hill-politics/fired-federal-prosecutor-pressure-from-trump-allies-unprecedented-and-scary/ |
Biden, EU leader to discuss proposal on electric vehicles
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen are set to unveil on Friday a plan that the White House hopes will help turn the page on the ongoing spat between the U.S. and European Union over electric vehicle tax credits.
Biden and von der Leyen are expected to agree to open negotiations between the U.S. and the EU on a deal that could boost the use of European minerals critical in the production of electric vehicle batteries that are eligible for U.S. tax credits through Biden’s roughly $375 billion clean energy law that passed last year, according to administration officials. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity ahead of the leaders’ meeting.
Biden and von der Leyen are also expected to use their Oval Office meeting to discuss Western coordination to support Ukraine in the war against Russia, joint efforts to decrease Europe’s dependence on Russian fossil fuels and the Biden administration’s growing concerns that China is considering providing weaponry to Russia for use in the war.
The Treasury Department said in a statement that an agreement “with like minded partners” could help provide a measure of “security and stability by ensuring the United States and allies and partners are not reliant on China for critical minerals.” White House officials are hopeful that an agreement with the EU can be reached in a matter of weeks.
Von der Leyen and other European leaders have voiced opposition to incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act that Biden signed in August that favor American-made electric vehicles. The legislation stipulates that for U.S. consumers to be eligible for a tax credit of up to $7,500 on their EV purchase, the EV’s battery must largely contain minerals from the U.S. or a country with which the U.S. has a free-trade agreement. Additionally, 50% of components in batteries must be manufactured or assembled in North America by 2024, with that percentage rising gradually to 100% by 2028.
“Getting on the same page on the effort to diversify supply chains on electric vehicle batteries is an important step for U.S.-EU relations, and any steps that avoid a subsidy war are meaningful,” said James Batchik, assistant director of the Europe Center at the Atlantic Council. “That said, a resolution will depend on the details of any future agreement.”
Biden stood by the policy that favors American EVs when French President Emmanuel Macron, a critic of the legislation, visited Washington late last year. Biden, however, acknowledged “glitches” in the legislation and said there were “tweaks we can make” to satisfy allies.
Ensuring access to critical minerals has been top of mind at the White House as administration officials aim to promote American electric vehicle manufacturing and other clean energy technologies.
Biden last year announced he was using the Defense Production Act to boost production of lithium and other minerals used to power electric vehicles. Experts said the move by itself is unlikely to ensure the robust domestic mining the Democratic president seeks as he promotes cleaner energy sources.
Biden’s order directed the Defense Department to consider at least five metals — lithium, cobalt, graphite, nickel and manganese — as essential to national security and authorizes steps to bolster domestic supplies.
The U.S. and the EU have remained largely in lockstep throughout the Russian war, coordinating sanctions against Moscow and the delivery of weaponry to Kyiv. The leaders are expected to use Friday’s Oval Office meeting to spotlight that Western unity.
Biden is also expected to raise U.S. intelligence findings that show that China is considering sending weapons to Russia to help prosecute the war in Ukraine.
The White House says Beijing has yet to deliver weapons to Russia but is more seriously weighing the prospect as Russia has burned through ammunition in a conflict that has gone on much longer than Russian President Vladimir Putin anticipated.
European nations have had a less adversarial relationship with China than the U.S. has, but the dynamic has been evolving since the start of the war.
This week the Dutch government announced it would join the U.S. in imposing export restrictions aimed at limiting China’s access to materials used to make advanced processor chips. In a speech before the German parliament last week, Chancellor Olaf Scholz called on China to “use your influence in Moscow to press for the withdrawal of Russian troops, and do not supply weapons to the aggressor Russia.”
A European official, who was not authorized to comment publicly and insisted on anonymity, said that Western allies are taking seriously U.S. warnings that China could be edging toward sending Moscow arms, because many of the publicized U.S. intelligence findings throughout the war have proved to be true.
The official, however, noted that reputational — and potential economic — costs of providing weapons to Russia seem to outweigh any benefits for Beijing.

corook was having a bad day.
After reading a slew of hate comments online directed at their gender identity and how they dressed, the 28-year-old Nashville-based musician needed cheering up, so they and their partner turned to what they do best: music.
"My girlfriend was supporting me and wanted to do something to make me feel better and decided: 'Let's write a song about it, let's make like a really weird song. Because you know, I love that you're weird and it's wonderful that you're weird. So what's the weirdest idea that you can come up with?'
"And so I said, 'I think if I were a fish I think that all of the weird things about me would be cool,' and she was like, 'that's weird, let's do it.' "
The result is the hit song "if i were a fish."
Originally a 49-second TikTok, corook (also known as Corinne Savage) goes on to sing about rocks and socks, followed by the question that started it all: "Why's everybody on the internet so mean?"
corook explains that the lyrics came from a moment of vulnerability as they were coming to terms with their gender identity and feeling out of place.
"I was obviously going through a lot, personally, of accepting the fact that I'm non-binary. ... I think it's hard to not fit into a box whenever everybody kind of wants to be able to define you simply."
Living outside of the box is also something corook does musically.
"I don't really have a genre," the musician says. "Like, I love making music. I love making songs that tell a story. And some of them sound more like a [singer] songwriter, and some of them sound more like a pop tune."
Their blend of styles shines on "if i were a fish." While the original TikTok recording was written on just a guitar, the full length version features guitar, percussion, and corook's favorite instrument, the kazoo.
The musical mixture adds to the song's positive spin on a tough situation, a practice corook is known for bringing to their music.
"I think that using an upbeat tone to talk about something serious is kind of my specialty. ... And whenever I figured out that I could do that in music, it just felt like a really big missing puzzle piece for me," they say.
And "if i were a fish" is resonating with audiences. With over 7 million streams on Spotify, the song has become a self-acceptance anthem.
"I think it's an interesting thing that I wrote the song from a place of like, 'I don't fit in, I don't have a community. I don't feel like people get me' and then to have a response of millions of people say, 'I get you and I want more of this, and I feel this way, too,' " corook says.
"I think that has been profound, not only as a musician in my career, but just as a human being. It has been really healing to be seen and heard by so many people."
You can hear "if i were a fish" on corook's forthcoming EP serious person (part 1) out June 2.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United States and its allies urged the U.N. Security Council on Monday to condemn North Korea’s unlawful ballistic missile launches, but China and Russia blamed the U.S. for escalating tensions with stepped-up military exercises targeting Pyongyang.
At the emergency meeting, U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the council that the United States will propose a presidential statement, saying at a minimum all 15 members should be agreeable to condemning the North’s unprecedented missile launches, to urging Pyongyang to comply with U.N. Security Council sanctions resolutions, and “to engage in meaningful dialogue.”
A presidential statement from the Security Council requires the support of all its members, including North Korea’s closest allies, China and Russia.
Thomas-Greenfield said the United States condemns North Korea’s firing of two short-range ballistic missiles Monday following the launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile Saturday “in the strongest terms” as “flagrant violations” of the council’s ban on the country’s ballistic missile launches.
The launches and North Korea’s threatening rhetoric are undermining international peace and security, Thomas-Greenfield said.
And she warned the council that its silence and failure to condemn the North’s missile activities “leads to irrelevance.”
But Pyongyang’s allies China and Russia countered that what’s needed now is dialogue between North Korea and the Biden administration, a de-escalation of military exercises, an easing of sanctions on North Korea, and approval of a resolution they circulated in November 2021 aimed at resolving the situation on the Korean Peninsula.
That resolution urges the Security Council to end a host of sanctions against North Korea and calls on the U.S. and North Korea to resume dialogue and consider taking steps to reduce tensions and the risk of military confrontation including by adopting a declaration or peace treaty formally ending the 1950-53 Korean War. The war ended with an armistice, leaving the peninsula technically in a state of war.
China’s Deputy U.N. Ambassador Dai Bing said joint U.S.-South Korean military exercises “on a higher level and a bigger scale,” the deployment of U.S. strategic assets, and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg’s high-profile visit to Seoul and Tokyo two weeks ago, are “”highly provocative” to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, “and aggravate a sense of insecurity.”
“Since the U.S. has repeatedly expressed its willingness to unconditionally engage in dialogue with the DPRK, it should take tangible steps to start and maintain a dialogue,” he said. “Exclusively pursuing and piling on sanctions will only lead to a dead end.”
Russia’s deputy ambassador Dmitry Polyansky told the council North Korea is responding with missile tests to “the unprecedented military maneuvers in the region under the United States umbrella which are clearly anti-Pyongyang in nature.”
Japan’s U.N. Ambassador Kimihiro Ishikane, whose country called the emergency meeting, told the council that Saturday’s ICBM fell in the Japan’s exclusive economic zone just 200 kilometers (124 miles) from Hokkaido, where people could see it falling from the sky.
“I assume we can all imagine how terrifying it must have been to see a missile flying to you,” he said, stressing that it endangered vessels and aircraft and was “an act of intimidation and threatening by force.”
To those who contend that Security Council meetings provoke North Korea “and hence we should remain silent,” Ishikane retorted that remaining silent “will only encourage rule-breakers to write the playbook as they like.”
After the council meeting, Thomas-Greenfield, read a statement on behalf of 10 council nations and South Korea, surrounded by their ambassadors, strongly condemning the latest missile launches and urging the other five council nations to join in condemning “the DPRK’s irresponsible behavior.”
The 11 countries — Albania, Ecuador, France, Japan, Malta, Mozambique, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, U.S. and South Korea — “remain fully committed to diplomacy and continue to call on the DPRK to return to dialogue,” the statement said.
“But we will not stay silent as the DPRK advances its unlawful nuclear and missile capabilities, threatening international peace and security,” their statement said. | 2023-02-21T17:02:57+00:00 | cbs42.com | https://www.cbs42.com/news/international/ap-us-urges-un-to-condemn-north-korea-china-russia-blame-us/ |
LOGANSPORT— An Indiana business owner who builds Batmobiles believes a group of deputies from California made the trip to the Hoosier state to raid his shop last month as a favor for the sheriff's friend.
"The raid was not an investigation, it was not an interrogation. It was with an agenda," said Mark Racop who owns Fiberglass Freaks.
Fiberglass Freaks is the only place in the country you can get a Batmobile built that is licensed and approved by DC comics.
They specialize in 1966 Batmobile models.
Racop says he was 2 years old when he fell in love with Batman. His passion has since grown tenfold.
Now a pastor, he still has love for the dark knight. "I fell in love with the music, the action, the color, everything about it. But especially the Batmobile," said Racop.
Racop tells WRTV he built his first ever Batmobile when he was 17 years old. Since then, he and his team have built over two dozen, and they currently have nine more in the works.
Investigators traveled from California to Indiana all to raid the fabrication shop on July 19th.
WRTV is working with ABC's San Francisco team trying to find out what is behind the raid.
The raid was conducted by the San Mateo Sheriff's Department in California.
"I was treated like a criminal," said Racop. "They sent my workers home, they wouldn't let a delivery come in with parts, it was crazy."
Several people believe the trip is a case of a California sheriff doing a favor for a friend, according to ABC7, and that it all stems from the purchase of the $210,000 Batmobile ordered by a man named Sam Anagnostou from California.
Racop says the man missed a $20,000 payment on his vehicle and then disappeared.
"He disappeared on me for 9 months on me, he didn't make his payment," said Racop.
After Anagnostou missed the payment, Racop moved his car to the back of the line to be finished. Which meant Anagnostou wouldn't get his Batmobile for a year and a half or two.
Racop says that infuriated Anagnostou, who filed a complaint with police in California, but the San Mateo District Attorney didn't bring criminal charges.
Anagnostou also filed civil suit alleging breach of contract and fraud, but a judge dismissed that case.
ABC7 in San Francisco discovered Anagnastaou asked his friend, the Sheriff of San Mateo County, to intervene. It wasn't long after that that the sheriff sent a lieutenant, a sergeant, and two deputies over 22,000 miles across the country to Racop's garage.
But it isn't just about the trip, the allegations being made have Racop frustrated.
"To have this as an attack on my moral character is unbelievable," Racop said. "Everyone else on the planet has said that this is ridiculous."
ABC7 obtained receipts showing the trip cost the San Mateo Sheriff's department more than $10,000.
Racop's bank account has been frozen, and he has been charged with two felony's in California including obtaining money by false pretenses and diversion of construction funds.
Obtaining money by false pretenses can come with a jail sentence of up to 10 years.
"It's sad and angering both at the same time, it's multiple emotions simultaneously," said Racop.
Racop has to travel to California to appear in court. "I am out there to say two words, not guilty," said Racop.
Until then, Anagnastou's Batmobile, which has since been fully paid for, will sit.
That's because no work can be done during litigation.
Racop says, just like batman, he is prepared to fight. "They under estimated me, they underestimated the power of the Batmobile, and they underestimated their own department."
Racop will be in court in about two weeks. | 2022-08-04T19:53:56+00:00 | wrtv.com | https://www.wrtv.com/news/local-news/california-sheriff-sends-team-to-logansport-to-raid-batmobile-shop-allegedly-at-request-of-friend |

Alzheimer’s Association Iowa Chapter looking to get more funding for dementia care specialists
SIOUX CITY (KTIV) - On Monday, Jan. 30 the Alzheimer’s Association Iowa Chapter will be speaking in front of the state’s legislature. Their goal--- to get more critical funding for Iowa to have dementia care specialists.
The funding would allow the state of Iowa to have six certified dementia care specialists. This would allow personalized assistance working with local agencies to set up a plan for those suffering from the difficult disease. Other states have adopted such programs, but as of now, Iowa does not have the specific position available.
“I see them as kind of the glue for the whole situation, they bring all the things together, once they get their feet wet, and they can figure out, you know, who can do what and what services are out there that can be very beneficial,” said Larry Studt, an Alzheimer’s Association Advocate.
Studt is an advocate involved with the push for more funding, and says he saw the process work when his wife went through dementia in Wisconsin and they had dementia care specialists. He says the help can be critical to a family.
“They also help organize and help you get around the services, you may or may not need, for example, Meals on Wheels, if that’s something that might be beneficial,” said Studt. “Or in our case, they got us in touch with a local organization that had caretakers that could come in and, and be with my wife while I was at work during the day.”
The Alzheimer’s Association Iowa Chapter is having its advocacy day on Monday as they look to provide awareness.

Tenor saxophonist and flutist Zoh Amba blends dazzling proficiency with the divine through free jazz. Taken from her latest album, O Life, O Light Vol. 2, "Dance of Bliss" is an otherworldly symphony contained within three players: Amba, William Parker on upright bass and gralla (a double-reeded Catalan woodwind) and drummer Francisco Mela. The 19-minute track is in a constant state of forming and reforming — with undeniable skills the trio deliver and discard ideas as quickly as they arise. Amba and Parker shift from simple intervallic motifs on horn and bass to extended, rapid lines. Mela might win MVP for keeping things in consistent and forward motion with his percussive commentary. Once Parker shifts from bass to gralla, the band neutralizes the preceding foundational ideas to fully lift the veil: vocal yelps are heard and then fade in the freeform flow and, near the song's end, Parker plucks out a dense ostinato bass figure as Amba emits a sad cooing, even weeping, through her horn. It's a tender and unsettling closer for "Dance of Bliss," opting for sheer emotionality and vulnerability that plays like pure honey in the rock.

The military plays a vital role in our community and is why Bossier Parish is especially proud that five of its schools are among the first in Louisiana to receive state designation as Purple Star Schools.
Legislation was passed over the summer to give schools throughout the state the opportunity to meet a set of criteria to be deemed Purple Star Schools, signifying they meet a high standard when it comes to providing support and various services to military children and their families.
More than 26-hundred military-connected students attend Bossier Schools and today, Purple Star School banners were presented at Parkway High, Benton and Cope Middle Schools, Benton Intermediate and Kingston Elementary.
The Bossier Chamber of Commerce also designated the five schools as Military Community Champions.
The schools will be recognized next Thursday at the Bossier Parish School Board meeting and on April 19th before the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education in Baton Rouge.
Holly George is the Military Services Liaison for Bossier Schools.
“This allows the parents to know when they come to the Bossier Parish School Board, these schools are ready to meet the needs of their students and ready to work with them for the transition,” George said. “It’s a large criteria to become a Purple Star School and we are excited that we have some of the first ones in the state.”
Meantime, five other Bossier Parish schools have received state approval for Purple Star School designations and are awaiting official recognition. | 2023-01-13T00:37:16+00:00 | bossierpress.com | https://bossierpress.com/five-bossier-schools-receive-purple-star-designation/ |

Officials talk about recent vacant house fires
JACKSON, Tenn. — Two vacant houses in the City of Jackson both caught fire recently. A fire marshal talked about if there was any relation between the two fires.
“The two house fires we had had been the same vicinity in midtown on Dancy Street and Pleasant Street. The one on Dancy, it was boarded up to the best of the owner’s ability, but they still gained entry to it. There was evidence of separate fires being started for warmth on the first floor,” said Jackson Fire Marshal Lamar Childress.
The fire marshal says there are protocols for keeping these vacant homes safe, and how they work to avoid things like the past two fires from happening.
“Anytime we identify vacant properties, we refer them to the City of Jackson Housing and Codes Department for a follow up. According to the fire code, the owners of the property are supposed to keep them secure and boarded up,” Childress said.
We asked officials if these house fires caused a sense of urgency to identify vacant houses in order to try and limit the amount of these occurrences.
“It does. It does. As that situation arises, it does kind of say, ‘Hey, maybe we need to put this up to the forefront.’ Instead of looking at other code violations, lets look at what we can concentrate on: vacant houses. You know, in all of our areas, I can send them out in all of our district and say lets focus on these vacant houses because it seems to be a trend,” said Building Official Greg Rowland.
This will remain a concern for the Jackson Fire Department while the temperatures are still cold.
Fire officials say both of these house fires seem to be caused by people breaking in to find shelter for the night.

JEANERETTE, La. (KLFY) – A Louisiana family can no longer live in their home due to unwanted visitors taking over.
Annie Lively said she has not been able to stay at her home in Jeanerette because thousands of honeybees have made a nest for their colony inside the house.
Lively said she woke up one morning and saw they were inside the house.
For nearly a decade, Lively has lived in her home raising her family. She said the neighbor across the street noticed numerous bees in a tree near Lively’s home long before Lively moved in.
“I never started seeing them until like two or three years ago,” Lively said. “[My neighbor] said it has been going on with this tree in the back of the house.”
Lively said she has tried to get help from the city, but they have not been able to get the bees from the home. Nexstar’s KLFY spoke with Jeanerette Mayor Carol Bourgeois who said he and his department have done everything they can do to help with Lively’s situation.
“We are pretty limited as to what we can actually do,” Mayor Bourgeois said. “We reached out to the contacts that we had as far as someone that might have been a trained professional.”
Lively is asking for help from anyone who can get rid of this bee colony to allow her and her family to continue living where they have for the past 10 years.
Bees and other pollinators, which are vital to the world’s food production, are threatened worldwide.
If you have honeybees inside your home, the American Beekeeping Federation suggests contacting a local beekeeper, who may be able to remove them without killing the insects. Unless you are experienced, you should not try to do it yourself. | 2023-05-11T01:09:49+00:00 | qcnews.com | https://www.qcnews.com/nexstar-media-wire/thousands-of-honeybees-take-over-louisiana-home/ |
Biden says US government knows 'with certainty' that Austin Tice has been held by Syrian government
President Joe Biden on Wednesday declared that the U.S. government knows "with certainty" that American journalist Austin Tice has been held by the Syrian government and called on Damascus to cooperate on efforts to release him after 10 years of captivity.
"We know with certainty that he has been held by the Syrian regime," Biden said in a statement. "We have repeatedly asked the government of Syria to work with us so that we can bring Austin home."
"On the 10th anniversary of his abduction, I am calling on Syria to end this and help us bring him home," the president said, adding that the "Tice family deserves answers, and more importantly, they deserve to be swiftly reunited with Austin."
The government of Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad has not publicly acknowledged they are detaining him. Tice, a freelance journalist and Marine Corps veteran, was detained at a checkpoint near Damascus in August 2012 while reporting on the war in Syria.
Debra Tice, Austin's mother, told CNN on Thursday, her son's 41st birthday, she is happy the president mentioned his name and that it is a sign the administration is ready to negotiate his release.
"I'm just so glad that President Biden has said Austin's name publicly," Debra Tice told CNN's John Berman on "New Day." "I think that it's an indication from the president that the United States government is ready to engage with Syria to bring Austin home."
In a separate statement Wednesday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the administration "will continue to pursue all available avenues to bring Austin home and work tirelessly until we succeed in doing so."
"We continue to demand that Syrian officials fulfill their obligations under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations to acknowledge the detention of Austin and every other U.S. national held in Syria, a responsibility under international law and an important step in securing their release," Blinken said.
Another American, Majd Kamalmaz, was detained at a checkpoint in Damascus in February 2017 and has not been heard from since.
Biden met with Austin Tice's parents, Marc and Debra, in early May. Following that meeting, Marc Tice told CNN's Jake Tapper in an interview on the "The Lead" that Biden told them "he supported the efforts that are underway and other efforts that may create positive movement" to get Austin home.
"One of the efforts underway is pushing to get engagement and engagement that sustained," between the U.S. and Syria, Marc Tice said at the time. The two nations do not have diplomatic relations.
In his statement Wednesday, Blinken said that "Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs Roger Carstens will continue to engage with the Syrian government in close coordination with the White House, Hostage Recovery Fusion Cell, and our team here at the State Department."
Carstens secretly traveled to Damascus and met with Assad regime officials in 2020 under the Trump administration. In May of this year, he met with Abbas Ibrahim, a top Lebanese security official, in Washington "to discuss U.S. citizens who are missing or detained in Syria," State Department spokesperson Ned Price said at the time. Ibrahim, the chief of Lebanon's General Security Directorate, has played a role in securing the release of American detainees in the past, including Sam Goodwin from Syria and Nizar Zikka from Iran. | 2022-08-11T15:47:53+00:00 | wesh.com | https://www.wesh.com/article/austin-tice-captive-syria-10-years-biden-comments/40869905 |
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Heavy, wet snow — part of a storm system that spawned tornadoes in the Houston area — has covered roads, vehicles, houses and buildings Wednesday from central and northern Indiana into much of southeastern Michigan.
About six inches of snow was expected to fall on the Detroit area, while four inches was reported before noon in eastern Indiana, just southwest of Fort Wayne, said Maddi Johnson of the National Weather Service in northern Indiana.
The storm on Wednesday was expected to bring damaging winds to parts of Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas, forecasters said. Winter weather advisories stretched from southern Missouri to Maine, with areas of New England expected to see 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 centimeters) of snow, the National Weather Service said.
Fort Wayne, Indiana, has seen numerous crashes due to the snowfall on the roads.
“People are sliding off exit ramps on the highways,” Johnson added. “They’re just driving too fast for the conditions.”
Just north of Indianapolis, some power outages were reported in Hamilton County as the wet snow accumulated on power lines, said meteorologist Gregory Melo with the weather service’s Indianapolis office.
Indianapolis had recorded 2.8 inches by about 11:30 a.m. Wednesday and while the snow was still falling it was expected to end by early afternoon. Total snowfall amounts were projected to range from 5 to 8 inches to the north and northeast of Indianapolis by mid to late afternoon.
“This is one of the first big snowfalls we’ve had,” said Scott Cabauatan, deputy director of public services in Wayne County, which includes Detroit. “This snowfall poses a concern from the aspect that it’s a wet, heavy snow versus a lighter snow.”
Cabauatan said crews will roughly clear on one regular pass just under 5,000 lane miles of roadway. “We will have right around 100 pieces of equipment and operators working” at any given time to salt and clear roadways of snow and ice, he added.
Snow also is in the forecast for late in the week and over the weekend. “We’re anticipating many days on end of working here and being in the trucks,” Cabauatan said.
Schools and businesses remained closed Wednesday in parts of Oklahoma, which saw snowfall totals of between 1 and 6 inches (3 and 15 centimeters) across central and eastern parts of the state. More than 160,000 homes and businesses were without power Wednesday morning in northern Arkansas and southern Missouri after heavy snow fell in the Ozarks a day earlier.
On Tuesday, forecasters issued a rare tornado emergency for the Houston area as the storm system moved through the heavily populated area. Substantial damage was reported in cities east of Houston, but there were no reports of injuries.
In Louisiana, three people suffered “mild to moderate injuries” when their mobile homes were flipped or destroyed after a tornado hit the Morel Lane area north of Baton Rouge, the Pointe Coupee Parish Sheriff’s Office said.
In Texas, several businesses in Pasadena, east of Houston, sustained major damage, including the city’s animal shelter.

(The Hill) — Former Secretary of Education Betsy Devos believes that the department she once led should be abolished.
Devos, who spent four years as the education secretary during the Trump administration, made the remarks at the inaugural “Moms For Liberty” summit on Saturday, according to the Florida Phoenix.
“I personally think the Department of Education should not exist,” Devos told the mostly conservative crowd in Tampa, Fla.
Devos was a leading proponent of “education freedom” during her time in office, promoting vouchers to allow families to choose their children’s schools.
In a speech in 2020, she said, “I fight against anyone who would have government be the parent to everyone.”
“Moms For Liberty” is a conservative group that rose to national prominence for its objection to children wearing facemasks at school during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The local news outlet also reported that summit attendees were given tips on how to recruit, promote, and endorse conservative school board candidates.
Devos is not the first conservative figure to suggest nixing the federal agency charged with overseeing schools. A group of GOP House members backed a bill last year seeking to abolish the Department of Education.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) introduced the bill in February 2021, with co-sponsors including Reps. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), and Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.).
“Schools should be accountable,” Massie said in a statement at the time. “Parents have the right to choose the most appropriate educational opportunity for their children, including home school, public school, or private school.”
Devos’s remarks come as schools have become a central battleground for politicized culture wars, with Democrats and Republicans battling over issues such as critical race theory, LGBTQ rights, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) campaigned on a pledge to give parents a louder voice in schools, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis drew national blowback with his signing of a bill barring teachers from discussing sexual orientation or gender identity in grades K-3. | 2022-07-18T12:54:46+00:00 | wcia.com | https://www.wcia.com/news/national/trump-education-secretary-says-department-of-education-should-not-exist/ |
FORT DODGE — North Linn delivered just one big blow against Clarksville Wednesday in a 1A state softball semifinal at Harlan Rogers Sports Complex.
Unfortunately for the Indians, Jersey Peyton's two-run home run in the first inning held up as the Lynx scored a 2-1 victory over the Clarksville on the Kruger Seeds Field.
North Linn was limited to just two hits the rest of the night by Clarksville's Cailyn Hardy, but the Indians were held to just three off of Lynx senior Ellie Flanagan.
Clarksville’s lone run came in the fifth when a Mollie Bloker single scored courtesy runner Lauren Keim. Rachel Borchardt had a double and Katie Kampman collected the Indians other hit.
Hardy was able to bounce back quickly from her costly pitch in the first inning and allowed just three base runners over the final five innings. Head coach Katie Burman took full responsibility as the pitch caller for allowing the Lynx to pull ahead early.
People are also reading…
“That was really the only time they kind of threatened us, they had base runners on, but that two-run home run was what did it and that was my pitch calling, so blame it on me,” Burman said.
Along with an instant turnaround from Hardy, the Indians defense stepped up for the rest of the game to limit Lynx base runners.
Freshman outfielder Paige Kampman and sophomore second baseman Claire Lodge played with a sense of urgency all night and were part of a crew that got the nod from Hardy as one of the better defenses she’s played with in her career.
“They’ve been huge all year, definitely one of the best defenses Clarksville’s ever seen. They always limit the errors and have my back.” Hardy said.
North Linn will matchup against Martensdale-St. Marys in the championship game on Friday who they lost to 6-2 in the third place match last season. This will be the Lynx fourth state title appearance in five years, with championships in 2019 and 2021 in Class 2A.
Head coach Chad Spore is excited for the rematch and to see how both his ace Flanagen and the Blue Devils veteran Campbell German will fair after another year of experience under their belts.
“I think both pitchers are a year better and it should be a great game,” Spore said.
Although Clarksville had been in the state title game three of the last four seasons, Burman attested that earlier in the year they didn’t see themselves making it this far. While a shot for third place wasn’t their end goal, her message to the team was to attack the next best result to end the year on a positive note.
“Third place is going to feel really good on Friday so that’s what we’re working for,” Burman said. “We still get to play it in the same atmosphere, and that’s what we have to start focusing on which we wouldn’t have dreamed of at the beginning of the season.”
A win against Wayne in the third-place contest Friday at 6 p.m. on the Iowa Central Field would also give Clarksville 30 wins on the season, a mark they also reached in 2019 when they finished runner-up with a 33-2 record.
The Indians graduate four seniors Hardy, Borchardt, Jenna Myers and Cori Brase.
Among some of their tremendous achievements, the group was part of a program that won the Iowa Star North title seven for the seventh year in a row.
Other marks set by Indian players this year saw Emmalee Manwarren break the school mark for hits in a season (57), while Hardy established the new mark for career triples (11). | 2023-07-21T19:07:53+00:00 | wcfcourier.com | https://wcfcourier.com/sports/high-school/softball/clarksville-indians-ighsau-state-softball-semifinals-katie-burman/article_26cb19fe-26b7-11ee-8dd1-f39ad447ce20.html |

People in three continents gathered Tuesday to watch one of the most stunning astronomical events possible: A solar eclipse.
The partial solar eclipse was visible from much of Europe, northern Africa, the Middle East and western Asia, Timeanddate says. This is the second solar eclipse of the year, neither of which were visible from the U.S.
Read on for photos and more information on the rare sight — and the next time you could see a solar eclipse in the U.S.
Solar eclipses happen when the moon passes between Earth and the sun, darkening the sky. NASA says the next total solar eclipse visible from North America will happen on April 8, 2024.
People on Mexico's Pacific coast will be the first to see totality (the brief moment when the moon completely eclipses the sun). The path of the eclipse will head through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.
Sure, it's a couple years away, but NASA has information on the time of totality in cities on the path. People watching from outside the path of totality may get to see a partial eclipse.
There's also an annular solar eclipse -- where a fiery ring of sun is visible around the moon -- expected on Oct. 14, 2023. It will begin in Oregon, crossing the Western U.S. to Texas.
Other contiguous U.S. states will see varying degrees of the eclipse, with the moon blocking about 10% of the sun for people as far as Maine. See NASA's map here.
Not soon enough? It's no solar eclipse, but the last total lunar eclipse we'll see for three years is happening in November. NASA says this "blood moon" will be visible in the early hours of Nov. 8 across North and Central America. See timing and maps here. | 2022-10-25T14:36:52+00:00 | kagstv.com | https://www.kagstv.com/article/news/nation-world/photos-2022-solar-eclipse/507-ba1e8e3b-adcd-4570-9a24-82a38a7fcfca |
- Latest research published in The Lancet Oncology: suggests bladder side effects were experienced half as often with CyberKnife SBRT as with conventional linear accelerator delivered SBRT two years after treatment
- Almost 20 years of global clinical data: shows the non-surgical CyberKnife platform provides excellent disease control with low rates of toxicity for men with prostate cancer
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Accuray Incorporated (NASDAQ: ARAY) announced today that results of the PACE-B – Prostate Advances in Comparative Evidence – trial were published in The Lancet Oncology, a leading global peer-reviewed oncology journal. As previously reported, the trial indicates that two years after treatment, patients treated with the company's CyberKnife® robotic radiotherapy platform, when compared with conventional linear accelerators, have a lower incidence of late grade two or higher bladder toxicities, which are associated with prostate cancer stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) treatments. This is the most recent data highlighting the benefits of the platform which has been used in the treatment of prostate cancer for almost 20 years.
Chief Investigator Professor Nicholas van As, Medical Director and Consultant Clinical Oncologist at The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, and Reader in Precision Prostate Radiotherapy at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, said: "At The Royal Marsden and the ICR we are focused on developing smarter, better and kinder treatments for people with cancer. This includes harnessing innovations in radiotherapy technology, such as SBRT, to target tumours more effectively and improve patient outcomes and, thanks to funding from The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, we have two state-of-the-art CyberKnife machines in the hospital.
"Radiotherapy can sometimes cause challenging bladder problems for men with prostate cancer, including passing urine more regularly and cystitis. These interesting new results suggest SBRT through CyberKnife can be delivered with similarly low levels of side effects as standard radiotherapy, which is typically given to patients over four to eight weeks, over a much shorter time period.
"So far, the findings from this study are promising and, over the next few years, we will analyze the long-term side effects and outcomes of SBRT. We hope this trial will eventually change practice and enable us to deliver curative treatment over fewer days, sparing patients numerous hospital visits."
In 2020, more than 1.4 million men worldwide were diagnosed with prostate cancer1. While it is typically a slow-growing and manageable disease, long-term treatment-related side effects can affect patients' physical and mental well-being for the rest of their lives. Technology that can minimize the risk of these side effects is key. The PACE data are noteworthy because they signal that men treated with CyberKnife SBRT are less likely to experience long-term side effects that can impact them over the course of their lives than men receiving conventional linear accelerator delivered SBRT.
SBRT treatments involve the delivery of very high doses of externally administered radiation over a small number of sessions, offering convenience for patients, compared with conventional radiation therapy which requires substantially more treatment sessions. In the PACE trial, SBRT was delivered in 5 sessions while conventional radiation therapy was delivered in 20 or 39 sessions.
"Clinicians using the CyberKnife® System pioneered prostate SBRT and are responsible for the publication of the vast majority of scientific studies on this treatment modality. The system is the only radiation therapy device supported by years of published clinical follow-up with a large number of patients, and these studies show that using the CyberKnife instead of conventional linear accelerators for prostate SBRT reduces significantly pain and urine frequency which have a real impact on daily activities," said Jean-Philippe Pignol, M.D., Ph.D., chief medical & technology officer at Accuray. "As the adoption of SBRT (ultra-hypofractionated radiotherapy) for the treatment of prostate cancer continues to grow, we anticipate that CyberKnife SBRT will become an increasingly important part of a hospital's program for the treatment of low- and intermediate-risk, and recurrent disease, especially since prostate patients represent a large volume of radiotherapy indications."
What makes the CyberKnife® System unique is that it is the only fully robotic radiation delivery system. The robotic design, coupled with real-time imaging, enables the system to deliver a maximum dose of radiation directly to the tumor from potentially thousands of unique angles with sub-millimeter precision. The system does this by using the Accuray proprietary artificial intelligence (AI)-driven Synchrony® technology to track and adapt for tumor or patient movement during treatment to minimize radiation exposure to healthy organs and tissues.
This capability is especially important when treating prostate cancer, because the prostate gland can move as much as 10 mm in as little as 30 seconds in an unpredictable manner, often caused by normal patient bodily functions such as filling of the bladder, gas in the bowel, or even slight patient movement during the procedure. In addition, the prostate is surrounded by sensitive organs and tissues.
About the PACE-B Trial
The PACE trial data provides level 1 clinical evidence – the strongest level of evidence on which to guide practice changes. PACE-B is a prospective, randomized trial conducted in 35 centers in the UK, Canada and Ireland, comparing five-fraction stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to conventionally fractionated or moderately hypofractionated external beam radiotherapy (CFMHRT) for localized prostate cancer. The PACE-B trial is funded by Accuray, sponsored by The Royal Marsden and coordinated by the ICR-CTSU at The Institute of Cancer Research, London. Of the 874 patients enrolled, data up to two years on 844 patients treated with radiotherapy were analyzed; 414 receiving SBRT and 430 standard radiotherapy. Forty-one percent of men treated with SBRT in the study received treatment using the CyberKnife platform.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan came to power 20 years ago riding a wave of public outrage toward the previous government’s handling of a deadly earthquake.
Now, three months away from an election, Erdogan’s political future could hinge on how the public perceives his government’s response to a similarly devastating natural disaster.
“It is going to be a big challenge for Erdogan, who has established a brand for himself as an autocratic figure but an efficient one that gets the job done,” said Soner Cagaptay, a Turkey expert at the Washington Institute and the author of several books on Erdogan.
The aftermath of a massive earthquake isn’t the only parallel to the election of 2002. Back then, Turkey was in the midst of a financial crisis that was punishing its economy.
Today, Turkey’s economy is being hammered by skyrocketing inflation, and Erdogan has faced widespread criticism for his handling of the problem, which has left millions of poor and middle class people struggling to make ends meet.
Erdogan’s political rivals have already begun criticizing his government’s response to the earthquake, saying that over the course of two decades he failed to prepare the country for the inevitable. Experts point to lax enforcement of building codes as a major reason why this week’s quakes were so deadly. But with less than 100 days before the election, Erdogan’s rivals have yet to put forth a candidate to run against him.
The memory of how Bulent Ecevit, the late prime minister, was undone by his poor handling of financial and natural disasters two decades ago must be on Erdogan’s mind as he tries to contain the twin problems he faces today, analysts say.
The 7.8-magnitude earthquake that struck on Feb. 6 was followed nine hours later by another powerful quake, killing more than 24,000 people in both Turkey and Syria.
The devastation spreads across a wide swath of Turkey, affecting 10 provinces in the country’s southeast, and it has strained the ability of domestic and foreign crews to quickly execute rescue efforts. In the first few days after the quake, Turkish television and social media showed people waiting helplessly beside piles of debris in frigid conditions, or using their bare hands to claw through rubble.
“We’ll still have to see the outcome of the relief efforts, whether subzero temperatures continue, casualties increase, whether international assistance which is flowing could make a difference,” said Cagaptay.
Erdogan, who toured the region this week, conceded shortcomings in the initial stages of the response but insisted that everything was now under control.
“If the disaster response is strong, the ruling administration will be rewarded, likely in the polls — if it is poor, the opposite,” Timothy Ash, an analyst at BlueBay Asset Management in London, wrote in an email.
Ecevit blamed the poor response after the 1999 quake that killed some 18,000 people on the vastness of the destruction. Similarly, Erdogan said the response to this week’s quake — which he described as the “strongest in the history of this geography” — has been hampered by winter weather and the destruction of a key airport, making it difficult to quickly reach people trapped in the rubble.
“It is not possible to be prepared for such a disaster,” Erdogan said, promising that “we will not leave any of our citizens uncared for.”
While the bumpy quake response so far hasn’t been great for Erdogan’s reputation, analysts say there is time for him to turn things around before the election set for May 14.
“He has the levers of state at his command and Turkish politics was hardly a level playing field before the earthquake,” Hamish Kinnear, Middle East and North Africa analyst for risk-intelligence company Verisk Maplecroft, said in an email.
Right after the quake, Erdogan declared a three-month state of emergency, giving him the power to “lavish public spending” in those areas, said Kinnear, who believes an Erdogan victory is still likely.
Erdogan has promised to donate 10,000 Turkish lira ($530) to people affected by the quake and to subsidize their rent. On Friday he said an additional 100 billion lira ($5.3 billion) would be allocated for post-quake efforts.
In the last presidential and parliamentary elections in 2018, Erdogan and his alliance for parliament overwhelmingly won in seven of the 10 provinces devastated by this week’s earthquakes. And in recent years he has pushed through changes that eliminated checks and balances between different branches of government, concentrating more power within the presidency.
In Turkey, freedom of expression is limited and the government largely controls the media, which has meant television stations mostly show scenes of “miracle rescues,” while appearing to censor scenes of hardship.
In the face of crushing inflation, Erdogan has increased the minimum wage, pensions and civil-servant salaries. While these steps may have been popular with voters, others have earned him severe criticism.
For example, he has insisted on fighting inflation by repeatedly lowering interest rates to stimulate growth — a strategy that mainstream economists around the world have said only makes the problem worse.
For now, all eyes are on the earthquake response.
In the hard-hit city of Adiyaman, Ahmet Aydin, a resident who lost six relatives as well as his home, his shop and his car in the earthquake, complained about the slow emergency response. But he said he would never stop supporting Erdogan — highlighting the Turkish leader’s potentially lasting appeal.
“We trust our president,” Aydin said. “He would never leave us alone, he would never leave us hungry or thirsty. May Allah protect him.”
Erdogan’s political rivals tell a different story.
This week, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the leader of Turkey’s main opposition party, blamed the devastation on Erdogan’s two-decade rule.
“Let me be very clear; if there one person responsible for this process, it is Erdogan,” Kilicdaroglu said in a video address. “For 20 years, this government has not prepared the country for an earthquake.”
He also accused the government of misspending taxes imposed in the wake of the 1999 quakes that were intended to prepare the country for future disasters.
As the death toll continues to rise with each passing day, Erdogan says the country’s leaders should strive to be above the political fray.
“This time is one of unity and standing together,” he said on Wednesday. “I cannot tolerate how in a time like this such filthy and negative campaigns are led for the sake of basic, political interests.”

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Grigor Dimitrov was about to serve at Wimbledon when two environmental activists jumped out of the stands at Court 18 and disrupted his match by scattering orange confetti and puzzle pieces on the grass. His initial instinct Wednesday? Get involved and try to stop them.
“But then I also realized,” the three-time Grand Slam semifinalist said, “that’s not my place to do that.”
Instead, security guards hauled away the woman and man wearing T-shirts from Just Stop Oil — an organization that wants the British government to stop new oil, gas and coal projects — and the two were arrested “on suspicion of aggravated trespass and criminal damage,” according to the All England Club.
The next contest on that same court, best known as the site of John Isner’s 2010 victory over Nicolas Mahut in the longest match in tennis history, was also interrupted by another man from that same environmental group. He was corralled by two security guards and was arrested, too, the club said.
“Obviously it’s not pleasant,” said Dimitrov, a 32-year-old from Bulgaria who is seeded 21st in the men’s bracket and ended up beating Japanese qualifier Sho Shimabukuro 6-1, 6-2, 6-1. “In the end of the day, there is not much you can do. I think everyone in a way did their part as quick as possible.”
The second match that was affected was British wild-card entry Katie Boulter’s 7-6 (4), 6-2 win against Daria Saville of Australia. Boulter and Saville helped clean up the debris before their match resumed.
As it happened, a rain delay came as the court was cleared after the interruption of Dimitrov’s match.
He said he did not feel threatened by what happened.
But Dimitrov did acknowledge there is a sense of vulnerability for players.
“You’re just out there, in a way,” Dimitrov said. “And also: The security are checking the bags when (people) are entering the grounds, but you just never know what the person might do.”
The All England Club coordinated with London police and other agencies to increase security for this year’s tournament, in part as a result of protests at other major sports venues in Britain this year.
“Based on what has happened at other sporting events, and on the advice from our key partners, we have reviewed our security plans, which have now been uplifted for The Championships accordingly,” All England Club operations director Michelle Dite said last week.
“We have plans in place to mitigate the risks working in partnership with specialist agencies and the Metropolitan Police and should an incident occur, the appropriate specialist teams will respond,” Dite said.
Her comments came a day after people representing Just Stop Oil briefly disrupted play about five minutes after the start of a cricket match between England and Australia in London. Players from both teams intervened when the protesters attempted to spread orange powder on the field.
Earlier in June, protesters held up the England cricket team bus briefly during the test against Ireland in London. Activists also have targeted Premier League soccer matches, the Premiership rugby final at Twickenham, and the world snooker championship in Sheffield this year.
“I guess, in some ways, it would be a bit of a distraction if it was going on during the match, but I also understand the importance, too, sometimes, of people being able to protest for things that matter for them. And especially anything related to the climate,” said American Danielle Collins, who won her first-round match at Court 17 on Wednesday. “This is a real thing that we’re dealing with, and I feel like not enough people are aware of those issues and have enough education around it.”

LONDON (AP) — Books about Britain’s imperial past and the human face of the present-day refugee crisis are among the finalists for Britain’s leading nonfiction book award, the Baillie Gifford Prize.
The shortlist announced Monday includes Harvard professor Caroline Elkins’ hard-hitting “Legacy of Violence: A History of the British Empire” and Irish journalist Sally Hayden’s “My Fourth Time, We Drowned: Seeking Refuge on the World’s Deadliest Migration Route.”
Four books by British writers are also among the finalists for the 50,000 pound ($55,000) prize.
They are Jonathan Freedland’s true Holocaust story “The Escape Artist: The Man Who Broke Out of Auschwitz to Warn the World;” Anna Keay’s “The Restless Republic: Britain Without a Crown,” which charts Britain’s brief period as a republic in the 17th century; Polly Morland’s “A Fortunate Woman: A Country Doctor’s Story;” and Katherine Rundell’s poetic biography “Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne.”
Journalist Caroline Sanderson, who is chairing the judging panel, said the six books “are marvelously wide-ranging, in terms of setting, era, and the creative approaches on display. But however different the canvas, all have enthralling human stories at their heart.”
The Baillie Gifford Prize recognizes English-language books from any country in current affairs, history, politics, science, sport, travel, biography, autobiography and the arts.
Last year’s winner was Patrick Radden Keefe’s “Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty,” an expose of the family that helped unleash the United States’ opioid epidemic.
The winner of the 2022 prize will be announced on Nov. 17 at a ceremony in London. | 2022-10-10T20:11:33+00:00 | valleycentral.com | https://www.valleycentral.com/news/international/ap-international/ap-books-on-empire-migrant-crisis-up-for-baillie-gifford-prize/ |
Heroes Luncheon recognizes those who step up in disasters
JACKSON, Tenn. — On Wednesday, the Midsouth Chapter of the Red Cross hosted their eighth annual Heroes Luncheon to recognize volunteers doing great things in their community in times of need.
“There are so many people that do wonderful things. There are 110 volunteers in the Midwest chapter. So it’s hard to select just one because everybody gives up themselves, but it’s so great to be able to honor those today,” said Karen Utley, the Board Chair for the American Red Cross.
The Red Cross recognized three West Tennesseans and awarded them for their efforts, including Uniformed Hero of the Year, Volunteer of the Year, and a 20 Year Distinguished Service recipient.
This year’s recipients are:
- Uniformed Hero of the Year — Jason Hypes (Weakley County)
- 20 Year Distinguished Service Recipient — Dave Brumley (Madison County)
- Volunteer of the Year — Lenora McMeekin (Gibson County)
“We get recommendations, and each and every one of them that has been chosen and that will be awarded today is because of the work that they’ve done,” Utley said.
They say it is important to honor those who step up in times of need, and they hope others will be inspired to step up by their actions.
“Every county that we serve, all 14 counties, it’s so important that when disaster happens, you need hometown people there trying to help their friends and neighbors,” Utley said.
The Midsouth Chapter of the Red Cross says they are thankful for all of their volunteers and say thank you for being a role model for others.
“Thank you for being role models to other people in the community so that we can see the difference that can be made by an individual stepping up to help their fellow man,” Utley said.
The Red Cross says congratulations to their award recipients, and they want to thank you for continuing to help the community in times of need.

GASTONIA, N.C. (WJZY) – A manhunt is underway in North Carolina for a man accused of shooting his neighbors, one of whom is a 6-year-old girl.
Robert Louis Singletary, 24, is believed to be responsible for shooting and injuring several people around 7:45 p.m. Tuesday, according to the Gaston County Police Department. He should be considered “armed and dangerous,” the department said.
The mother of the 6-year-old victim told Nexstar’s WJZY that the suspect started shooting after a child walked into his yard to retrieve a basketball that a group of kids had been playing with nearby.
“I heard the ‘pow, pow, pow, pow,’ and I thought it was fireworks,” said Ashley Hilderbrand, the mother of a shooting victim. “Then I heard the ‘pow, pow, pow,’ and everybody started yelling, ‘Get in the house!'”
Hilderbrand’s daughter Kinsley White was struck in the cheek, and White’s father William was shot multiple times.
“And when [William] went to the ground, the guy continued to shoot,” Hilderbrand said. “He didn’t care who he shot, who he killed.”
Authorities said the adult victim was rushed to the CaroMont Regional Medical Center with serious injuries. The other shooting victims were later taken to hospitals in Charlotte for further treatment.
“The juvenile that was shot, as well as the second adult that was grazed by a bullet, have been treated and released,” Gaston County Police Chief Stephen M. Zill said Wednesday.
Kinsley White spoke with WJZY after her release from the hospital.
“He came out with a gun, he started shooting,” she said. “Hope my daddy is okay.”
Gaston County Police have obtained warrants on Singletary. He’s facing several charges: four counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury, and a count of possession of a firearm by a felon.
A Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police helicopter was searching the area in what is considered to be an “extensive search.” Authorities were asking neighbors to stay indoors.
“I want to say to the people of Gaston County — this sort of violence will not stand,” Chief Zill said.
Singletary is described as a 6-foot-2 man with brown eyes and black hair, weighing 223 pounds.
In December, Gastonia Police charged Singletary in the brutal assault of his 21-year-old girlfriend with a mini sledgehammer. They also said Singletary kept the victim inside his apartment and did not allow her to leave for over two hours. At that time, the man faced charges of assault with intent to inflict serious injury, kidnapping, and communicating threats. He was in the Gaston County jail on a $250,000 bond.
“My number one priority as chief is to make sure each and every one of our citizens are safe,” Zill continued. “Every person in every part of our county deserves that same opportunity, and it is our priority to make that a reality.”
The Gaston County Police had not yet disclosed whether the suspect had been located as of Thursday morning. Anyone with further information is asked to contact Det. J. Brienza at 704-866-3320 or Crimestoppers at 704-861-8000. A Crimestoppers reward of up to $1,000 is available for information pertinent to the investigation. | 2023-04-20T16:15:03+00:00 | mytwintiers.com | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/national-news/girl-6-shot-after-basketball-rolls-into-neighbors-yard-in-north-carolina/ |
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Kevon Looney rushed his first try, not realizing he had a little time. Then he tipped in the game-winner as the final buzzer of the second overtime sounded. He got swarmed in celebration.
The durable big man who played every game last season and all of them so far in this one delivered a career-high 21 rebounds with two in the final 2 seconds, Klay Thompson scored a season-best 54 points, and the Golden State Warriors held off the Atlanta Hawks 143-141 on Monday night.
Looney laughed when asked if he had ever scored the game-winning basket — “not a walkoff game-winner.”
“I rushed the first one I didn’t think I had that much time, but I saw I had more time so I took my time on the second one and I was able to make it,” Looney said.
Trae Young tied the score on a floating layup with 8.2 seconds remaining before the Warriors’ final chance. Young made four crucial free throws late in the first OT and finished with 30 points and 14 assists.
Looney also had 14 points and five assists. Draymond Green made his only 3-point attempt of the game with 43.8 seconds left in the last OT and finished with 13 rebounds and 11 assists.
Thompson shot 21 for 39 and his 10 3-pointers matched a season high — and his 54 were six off his career-best scoring outing of 60 accomplished in three quarters on Dec. 5, 2016.
“He just made shot after shot and play after play, he was incredible,” coach Steve Kerr said.
Thompson hit a go-ahead 3 with 18 seconds left in the first overtime after his tying 3 with 1:55 to go in the initial extra period.
Thompson recently began ignoring social media, slowing things down to be more patient and has found his form from back in 2019 before surgeries on his left knee and right Achilles that sidelined him more than 2 1/2 years.
He is nearing the first anniversary of his return to the court, on Jan. 9.
“It’s better than good, amazing,” he said. “Those moments where you have the ball with the game on the line down the stretch and your teammates trust you, those are what you really live for as a competitor, as a basketball player. It was hard to see those at times during the rehab process.”
Donte DiVincenzo corralled a crucial offensive rebound then knocked down a tying 3-pointer with 0.6 seconds remaining in regulation to send the game into OT after Thompson and Jordan Poole had each missed from long range the same sequence.
The undermanned defending champions run their season-best winning streak to five games with a sixth straight home victory.
Reigning NBA Finals MVP Stephen Curry danced in delight at outcome after missing his ninth straight game with a partially dislocated left shoulder.
Poole’s 3 put Golden State ahead 129-126 with 1:35 left in the first OT. He finished with 28 points, six rebounds and five assists coming off a 40-point performance in a 118-112 win against Portland on Friday night.
John Collins scored 21 of his 25 points after halftime and dished out 13 assists as the Hawks roared back after trailing by as many as 21 in the first half. Dejounte Murray also scored 25 to go with 10 rebounds and seven assists.
All five Atlanta starters scored in double figures and six players in all, including Bogdan Bogdanovic’s 21 off the bench.
De’Andre Hunter returned from a three-game absence with a sprained left ankle to scored 17 points for the Hawks, who lost their fourth straight. Atlanta rallied in the third to tie the game at 95 heading into the fourth.
Golden State is 17-2 at Chase Center and 5-0 on its current eight-game homestand that matches the longest in franchise history.
INJURED WARRIORS
Jonathan Kuminga joined the injury report with a sprained right foot that swelled up after Friday’s game. He is using a walking boot.
Center James Wiseman sat out a second straight game after he rolled his left ankle during a 3-on-3 scrimmage following the morning shootaround Friday.
All-Star Andrew Wiggins missed his 14th game, dealing with an illness again that came on the heels of being sidelined by tightness in his right upper leg.
JaMychal Green is out of the league health and safety protocols but now dealing with an infection in his lower right leg.
TIP-INS
Hawks: Atlanta shot 2 of 16 from deep in the first half to fall behind 70-53. … C Clint Capela sat out for the seventh time in eight games with a bruised right calf. … The Hawks are 0-3 on the road vs. the Western Conference.
Warriors: Veteran Andre Iguodala, yet to play in a game this season, scrimmaged with the G League squad earlier in the day at Chase Center.
UP NEXT
Hawks: At Sacramento on Wednesday night.
Warriors: Host Detroit on Wednesday night.

VANCOUVER, BC, May 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Improving the driving experience of drivers and passengers has been one of the directions of innovation in the automotive industry for many years. To address motion sickness and driving fatigue, automakers are working to develop a variety of technologies, aiming to provide users with experiences beyond expectations. Recently, the EmeTerm Anti Fatigue & Car Sickness Wristband, developed by WAT Medical for the automotive industry, has won the 2023 IF Design Award in Germany and the IDA Award in the United States for its aesthetic, innovative, and intelligent design.
WAT Medical develops innovative self-care medical devices that feature targeted neuromodulation technology. With over a decade of innovation, more than 70 patents worldwide, and advanced R&D and design centers in North America, WAT Medical expands its outreach toward creating automotive grade neuromodulation products.
This will be a multidisciplinary project involving medicine, engineering, materials science, and computer technology. The objective is to prevent fatigue driving and motion sickness, using 470 nm blue light and PC6 electrical stimulation, respectively. While blue light has been understood to suppress melatonin secretion and negatively impact the circadian rhythm, this could precisely be used to avoid driving fatigue by reducing drowsiness and promoting wakefulness. Multiple studies have shown that this improves alertness and response time. With the right application, it could potentially reduce the chances of automobile accidents.
EmeTerm is already an FDA-cleared device developed as a safe and effectively alternative to medicine for motion sickness. The device avoids unwanted medical side effects and unpredictable drug interactions. Available in more than 30 countries and has been accepted by multiple medical insurances in the US, EmeTerm aims to provide users around the world with a more comfortable, safe, and fun travel experience.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Denmark’s government said Friday that a temporary ban on mink breeding will expire Jan. 1, allowing mink production to resume in the country but at a ”significantly reduced” level than before the coronavirus pandemic.
The government nearly two years ago ordered a cull of millions of minks and banned their farming to minimize the risk of the small mammals retransmitting the virus to contain a mutated version that could spread to people.
At first the ban was set to expire at the end of 2021 but was extended for a year. As of Jan. 1, it will again be permitted to keep mink in Denmark.
It was not immediately clear whether there would be a cap on the number of animals per farm. There will be limits on the number of people allowed to visit farms, and farmers will be required to register the names of visitors.
The Environment and Food Ministry said health officials now think “there is a limited risk to public health by resuming significantly reduced mink production and by introducing infection prevention measures.”
The government said the decision to lift the temporary ban was based on an assessment by the Statens Serum Institut, a government agency that maps the spread of diseases in Denmark.
Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Minister Rasmus Prehn and institute officials plan to meet later Friday with representatives of the Danish mink industry to “review the infection prevention measures for the industry.”
The government said veterinary and health authorities have drawn up a model with requirements for handling COVID-19 in mink herds that breeders must “implement and comply with in order to be able to keep mink again after the turn of the year.”
“There are absolutely no good reasons to reopen large mink farms with millions of animals crammed in small wire cages until they are killed for their fur,” said Britta Riis, head of Animal Protection Denmark. “It is bad for the animals, the environment and the climate.”
“Keeping mink in the existing cages is not acceptable,” she said and added that several European countries have either banned or are phasing out mink farming. On Thursday, Latvia became the latest country to ban mink farming from 2028.
Denmark was one of the world’s main mink fur exporters, producing an estimated 17 million furs per year. Kopenhagen Fur, a cooperative of 1,500 Danish breeders, accounts for 40% of global mink production. Most of its exports went to China and Hong Kong.
The 2020 decision to wipe out Denmark’s entire captive mink population stirred strong controversy, particularly as the necessary legislation for such a drastic move was put in place more than a month after the cull had started.
In June 2022, a Parliament-appointed commission harshly criticized the Danish government for its decision to cull millions of healthy mink. The report said Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen had been “grossly misleading” during a 2020 press conference when she announced that all mink — infected and healthy animals alike — should be culled. The report also criticized other top Danish officials. | 2022-09-23T22:41:41+00:00 | cbs4indy.com | https://cbs4indy.com/health/ap-health/ap-denmark-to-allow-significantly-reduced-mink-production/ |

As Russian troops wage a ferocious house-to-house fight for control of strongholds in eastern Ukraine, a parallel battle is unfolding in the top echelons of military power in Moscow, with President Vladimir Putin reshuffling his top generals while rival camps try to win his favor.
The fighting for the salt mining town of Soledar and the nearby city of Bakhmut has highlighted a bitter rift between the Russian Defense Ministry leadership and Yevgeny Prigozhin, a rogue millionaire whose private military force known as the Wagner Group has played an increasingly visible role in Ukraine.
Putin’s shakeup of the military brass this week was seen as a bid to show that the Defense Ministry still has his support and is in charge as the troubled conflict nears the 11-month mark.
Prigozhin declared Wednesday that his mercenary force had captured Soledar, arguing the prize was won exclusively by Wagner. The Defense Ministry waited until Friday to announce its capture, saying that it became possible thanks to air and artillery strikes and airborne forces’ maneuvers. A Ukrainian army spokesman denied that, saying Kyiv’s troops were still in Soledar.
The Defense Ministry initially didn’t mention the private contractor, but after Prigozhin accused the military of “constantly trying to steal Wagner’s victory,” it acknowledged his group’s “courageous and selfless action” to storm the city.
The 61-year-old Prigozhin, who was known as “Putin’s chef” for his lucrative catering contracts and was indicted in the U.S. for meddling in the 2016 presidential election, has expanded his assets to include Wagner, as well as mining and other spheres. He has scathingly criticized the military brass for blunders in Ukraine, saying Wagner was more efficient than regular troops.
He has found a powerful ally in Chechnya’s leader Ramzan Kadyrov, who has deployed elite troops from his southern Russian region to fight in Ukraine and also assailed the military leadership and the Kremlin for being too soft and indecisive.
While both have pledged loyalty to Putin, their public attacks on his top generals openly challenged the Kremlin’s monopoly on such criticism, something that Russia’s tightly controlled political system hadn’t seen before.
In the reshuffle announced Wednesday, the Defense Ministry said the head of the General Staff, Gen. Valery Gerasimov, was named the new chief of Russian forces in Ukraine, while the former top commander there was demoted to Gerasimov’s deputy after only three months on the job.
The Washington-based Institute of the Study of War saw the reshuffle as an attempt by the Kremlin to “reassert the primacy of the Russian Ministry of Defense in an internal Russian power struggle,” weaken the influence of its foes, and send a signal to Prigozhin and others to reduce their criticism.
Prigozhin and his allies have repeatedly criticized Gerasimov, the main architect of the Russian operation in Ukraine, and held him responsible for military defeats.
Russian troops were forced to retreat from Kyiv after a botched attempt to capture the Ukrainian capital in the opening weeks of the war. In the fall, they hastily pulled back from the northeastern Kharkiv region and the southern city of Kherson under the brunt of a swift Ukrainian counteroffensive.
The former commander in Ukraine, Gen. Sergei Surovikin, directed the retreat from Kherson, the only regional center captured by Russia, and was credited for shoring up command and increasing discipline in the ranks. But a Jan. 1 Ukrainian missile strike in the eastern town of Makiivka killed scores of Russian troops and tainted his image.
Political analyst Tatiana Stanovaya observed that Gerasimov’s appointment marked yet another attempt by Putin to resolve his military problems by shaking up the brass.
“He is trying to reshuffle the pieces and is therefore giving chances to those who he finds persuasive,” she wrote. “But in reality, the problem is not with the people, but with the tasks at hand.”
Stanovaya argued that Gerasimov could have asked for “carte blanche in the heat of verbal battles against the background of some very tense discussions.” For Putin, ”this is maneuvering, a tug-of-war between Surovikin (and sympathizers like Prigozhin) and Gerasimov,” she added.
Gerasimov, who began his military career as a Soviet army tank officer in the 1970s, has been chief of the General Staff since 2012 and was seen at the start of the conflict in February sitting next to Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu at a very long table with Putin. His appointment to directly lead the forces in Ukraine drew stinging comments from some Russian hawks.
Viktor Alksnis, a retired Soviet air force colonel who spearheaded botched attempts to preserve the USSR in 1991, noted that Gerasimov had overseen the action in Ukraine even before his appointment.
“This decision reflects the understanding by our political and military leadership that the special military operation has failed and none of its goals has been fulfilled in nearly a year of fighting,” Alksnis wrote on his messaging app channel. “Replacing Surovikin with Gerasimov will change nothing.”
Mark Galeotti, who specializes in Russian military and security affairs at University College, London, said the appointment handed Gerasimov “the most poisoned of chalices” as he now will bear direct responsibility for any more setbacks.
“Gerasimov is hanging by a thread,” Galeotti said in a commentary on Twitter. “He needs some kind of win, or a career ends in ignominy. This may well suggest some kinds of escalation.”
Galeotti also warned that frequent reshuffling of Russia’s generals could erode allegiance in the officer corps.
“If you keep appointing, rotating, burning your (relative) stars, setting unrealistic expectations, arbitrarily demoting them, that’s not going to win loyalty,” he said.
Prigozhin, meanwhile, has taken advantage of military setbacks in Ukraine to expand his clout by making the Wagner Group a pivotal element of the Russian fighting force, augmenting the regular army that has suffered a heavy attrition.
Ukrainian officials alleged Wagner contractors have suffered massive losses in the fighting in Soledar and Bakhmut, advancing “on the bodies of their own comrades.”
Once convicted of assault and robbery, for which he served time in prison, Prigozhin in recent months went on a tour of Russia’s sprawling network of penal colonies to recruit inmates to join Wagner’s forces to fight in Ukraine in exchange for pardons.
He recently released a video showing about 20 convicts allowed to leave the ranks of fighters after a half-year on the front line, while also making clear that anyone breaking ranks will face brutal punishment.
Footage posted in the fall showed a Wagner contractor being beaten to death with a sledgehammer after allegedly defecting to the Ukrainian side. Despite public outrage and demands to investigate the incident, authorities have turned a blind eye to it.
Observers have warned that by giving Prigozhin a free hand to run Wagner as a private army governed by medieval-style rules, the government has effectively planted dangerous seeds of possible upheaval.
“In the end, there is chaos and the expansion of violence -– extrajudicial and illegal,” predicted Andrei Kolesnikov, an analyst with the Carnegie Endowment.

BOSTON (AP) — Anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. launched his longshot bid to challenge President Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination next year.
Kennedy, a member of one of the country’s most famous political families who has in recent years been linked to some far-right figures, kicked off his campaign in Boston on Wednesday and likened his campaign to the American revolution.
“My mission over the next 18 months of this campaign and throughout my presidency will be to end the corrupt merger of state and corporate power that is threatening now to impose a new kind of corporate feudalism in our country,” Kennedy said.
Self-help author Marianne Williamson is also running for the Democratic nomination. Biden has said he’s planning on running again but has not formally announced a campaign. He’s expected to have a glide path to the nomination, with much of the Democratic establishment behind him.
Kennedy, a nephew of President John F. Kennedy and the son of his slain brother Robert F. Kennedy, repeatedly referenced both of them during his lengthy speech Wednesday.
Kennedy Jr. was once known most as an environmental lawyer who worked on issues such as clean water. But over the past nearly two decades, he’s become one of the leading voices of the anti-vaccine movement. His work has been described by members of his own family and public health experts as misleading and dangerous.
His efforts intensified after the pandemic and development of the COVID-19 vaccine, and an AP investigation in 2021 showed he had linked up with anti-democratic figures and other groups. He has appeared at events pushing the lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen and with people who cheered or downplayed the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
A photo posted on Instagram showed Kennedy backstage at a July 2021 Reawaken America event with former President Donald Trump’s ally Roger Stone, former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and anti-vaccine profiteer Charlene Bollinger. All three have promoted the lie about the 2020 election being stolen.
Kennedy has been a guest on Infowars, the channel run by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, and on the “War Room” podcast hosted by longtime Trump ally Steve Bannon, where he promoted his bestselling 2021 book, “The Real Anthony Fauci,” in which he accused the U.S.’s top infectious disease doctor of participating in “a historic coup d’etat against Western democracy.”
The AP documented how Kennedy and his anti-vaccine group, Children’s Health Defense, had capitalized on the COVID-19 pandemic – raking in funding and followers in the U.S. and abroad, and doubling its revenue from 2019 to 2020. Researchers have found that the group is among the most influential spreaders of anti-vaccine misinformation, and the AP found traffic to its website had soared.
In the second year of the pandemic, Children’s Health Defense continued its huge growth, according to a more recent filing with charity regulators in California. Revenue more than doubled from $7 million in 2020 to $16 million in 2021.
Facebook and Instagram removed the accounts of Children’s Health Defense for spreading misinformation.
Kennedy has repeatedly invoked Nazis and the Holocaust when talking about measures aimed at mitigating the spread of COVID-19, such as mask requirements and vaccine mandates. He has apologized for some of those comments, including when he suggested that people in 2022 were worse off than Anne Frank, the teenager who died in a Nazi concentration camp after hiding with her family in a secret annex in an Amsterdam house for two years. | 2023-04-19T23:04:19+00:00 | wate.com | https://www.wate.com/news/national/ap-us-news/anti-vaccine-activist-rfk-jr-launches-presidential-campaign/ |

Shares were weaker in Asia on Friday, tracking a decline on Wall Street following mixed earnings reports from big companies and more signals the U.S. economy may be slowing.
Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 index edged 0.1% to 28,638.24. The Kospi in Seoul dropped 0.8% to 2,542.72. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng gave up 0.6% to 20,274.42.
The S&P/ASX 200 in Sydney lost 0.3% to 7,337.40, while the Shanghai Composite shed 0.5% to 3,349.56.
On Thursday, the S&P 500 fell 0.6% to 4,129.79 after drifting listlessly earlier this week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.3% to 33,786.62, while the Nasdaq composite dropped 0.8% to 12,059.56.
Tesla weighed heavily on the market for a second straight day on worries about how much profit it’s making on each of its electric vehicles. It dropped 9.7% after reporting revenue for the first three months of the year that fell short of analysts’ expectations as it repeatedly cut prices on its models.
Several banks also dropped after reporting weaker profits and revenue than expected, including KeyCorp and Zions Bancorp. The spotlight has been particularly harsh on smaller and mid-sized banks amid worries their customers may pull out deposits following the second- and third-largest U.S. bank failures in history last month.
Zions fell 4.9%, and KeyCorp dropped 2.7%. Truist Financial fell 3.8% after reporting weaker profit than expected.
AT&T sank 10.4% after it reported slightly weaker revenue than analysts forecast, though profit squeaked past expectations. Analysts also pointed to weaker cash flow than some expected. It was the worst day for its stock in two decades and its second-worst since late 1983.
In the bond market, yields fell following a couple of reports on the U.S. economy.
Slightly more workers filed for unemployment benefits last week than the week before, a potential signal that a still-strong job market is starting to soften under the weight of much higher interest rates. The number of continuing claims for jobless benefits also rose to the highest level since November 2021, according to Rubeela Farooqi, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics.
A separate report said that manufacturing trends in the mid-Atlantic region weakened by much more than economists expected.
They helped drag the yield of the 10-year Treasury down to 3.53% from 3.59% late Wednesday. The two-year yield, which more closely tracks expectations for the Federal Reserve, fell to 4.14% from 4.25%.
The Fed has intentionally been trying to cool the economy by raising interest rates in hopes of reining in high inflation. It’s an effective but blunt tool that slows the broad economy, raising the risk of a recession and hurting prices for investments.
The housing market was one of the first sectors to bend under the weight of much higher interest rates, as mortgage rates quickly climbed. A report on Thursday said sales of previously occupied homes slowed in March but remain above its bottom hit at the start of this year.
Wall Street’s losses Thursday were offset by big gains from companies whose earnings topped analysts’ expectations.
Lam Research, a supplier for the semiconductor manufacturing industry, rose 7.2% after it reported profit and revenue for the latest quarter that beat Wall Street’s forecast.
Steel Dynamics climbed 4.9%, homebuilder D.R. Horton gained 5.6%, casino operator Las Vegas Sands rallied 3.7% and steelmaker Nucor rose 5.5% after all also reported stronger profit for the latest quarter than expected.
The majority of companies have been topping profit forecasts so far in the early days of this reporting season.
Analysts were forecasting this would mark the sharpest drop in S&P 500 earnings per share since the pandemic was pounding the economy in 2020. Profits are under pressure as inflation remains high, interest rates are much higher than a year ago and portions of the economy slow.
In other trading, benchmark U.S. crude oil lost 13 cents to $724 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It declined $1.7 to $77.37 per barrel on Thursday.
Brent crude, the international pricing standard, shed 16 cents to $80.93 per barrel.
The U.S. dollar fell to 133.95 Japanese yen from 134.24 yen. The euro weakened to $1.0966 from $1.0970.

NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. government took extraordinary steps Sunday to stop a potential banking crisis after the historic failure of Silicon Valley Bank, assuring depositors at the failed financial institution that they would be able to access all of their money quickly.
The announcement came amid fears that the factors that caused the Santa Clara, California-based bank to fail could spread, and only hours before trading began in Asia. Regulators had worked all weekend to try and come up with a buyer for the bank, which was the second largest bank failure in history. Those efforts appeared to have failed as of Sunday.
In a sign of quickly the financial bleeding was occurring, regulators announced that New York-based Signature Bank had failed and was being seized on Sunday. At more than $110 billion in assets, Signature Bank is the third-largest bank failure in U.S. history.
The Treasury Department, Federal Reserve and FDIC said Sunday that all Silicon Valley Bank clients will be protected and have access to their funds and announced steps designed to protect the bank’s customers and prevent more bank runs.
“This step will ensure that the U.S. banking system continues to perform its vital roles of protecting deposits and providing access to credit to households and businesses in a manner that promotes strong and sustainable economic growth,” the agencies said in a joint statement.
Regulators had to rush to close Silicon Valley Bank, a financial institution with more than $200 billion in assets, on Friday when it experienced a traditional run on the bank where depositors rushed to withdraw their funds all at once. It is the second-largest bank failure in U.S. history, behind only the 2008 failure of Washington Mutual.
Some prominent Silicon Valley executives feared that if Washington didn’t rescue the failed bank, customers would make runs on other financial institutions in the coming days. Stock prices plunged over the last few days at other banks that cater to technology companies, including First Republic Bank and PacWest Bank.
Among the bank’s customers are a range of companies from California’s wine industry, where many wineries rely on Silicon Valley Bank for loans, and technology startups devoted to combating climate change.
Sunrun, which sells and leases solar energy systems, had less than $80 million of cash deposits with Silicon Valley Bank as of Friday and expects to have more information on expected recovery in the coming week, the company said in a statement.
Stitchfix, the popular clothing retail website, disclosed in a recent quarterly report that it had a credit line of up to $100 million with Silicon Valley Bank and other lenders.
Silicon Valley Bank began its slide into insolvency when its customers, largely technology companies that needed cash as they struggled to get financing, started withdrawing their deposits. The bank had to sell bonds at a loss to cover the withdrawals, leading to the largest failure of a U.S. financial institution since the height of the financial crisis.
Yellen described rising interest rates, which have been increased by the Federal Reserve to combat inflation, as the core problem for Silicon Valley Bank. Many of its assets, such as bonds or mortgage-backed securities, lost market value as rates climbed.
Sheila Bair, who was chairwoman of the FDIC chair during the 2008 financial crisis, recalled that with almost all the bank failures during that time, “we sold a failed bank to a healthy bank. And usually, the healthy acquirer would also cover the uninsured because they wanted the franchise value of those large depositors so optimally, that’s the best outcome.”
But with Silicon Valley Bank, she told NBC’s “Meet the Press,” “this was a liquidity failure, it was a bank run, so they didn’t have time to prepare to market the bank. So they’re having to do that now, and playing catch-up.” | 2023-03-12T23:33:34+00:00 | pix11.com | https://pix11.com/news/us-world-news/us-government-silicon-valley-bank-clients-will-get-funds/ |

The Red Sox have a proud outfield tradition. Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski, and Jim Rice are Hall of Famers whose retired numbers hang on the façade in right field. There’s a chance Dwight Evans will join them someday.
Then you have what has transpired the last few years.
The Sox traded Mookie Betts and Andrew Benintendi and it wouldn’t be much of a surprise if they met up in the World Series this season.
Signing Hunter Renfroe dulled some of that pain. He had 31 home runs and 96 RBIs for a playoff team last season and was signed for another year at an affordable $7.6 million.

Instead, Chaim Bloom traded Renfroe to Milwaukee for two prospects and the more expensive Jackie Bradley Jr.
Bradley has a .564 OPS, the prospects have turned out to be suspects and Renfroe blasted a two-run homer at Fenway on Saturday to help the Brewers beat the Sox, 9-4.
That’s 13 losses in the last 16 games for the Sox. They have been outscored by 73 runs in those games.
Most of that can be blamed on injuries. But Tinkertoy roster construction has played a big role, too.
Renfroe hasn’t been as productive as he was last year, but his 17 home runs would be second on the Red Sox.
Outside of left fielder Alex Verdugo, the Sox seem to be running a tryout camp as they compensate for injuries.
The right fielder on Saturday was Jaylin Davis, a career .183 hitter claimed off waivers in April.
He was pinch hit for in the eighth inning by Franchy Cordero, the terror of Triple A who has hit .221 over parts of six major league seasons.
The center fielder was Jarren Duran. He hit .329 with an eye-popping .909 OPS in his first 18 major league games this season. He has hit .136 with a .386 OPS in 18 games since while committing a series of mental errors.

Duran drew a walk leading off the first inning on Saturday, then was picked off by lefthander Eric Lauer.
Lauer has 22 pickoffs over five seasons in the majors, second only to Atlanta’s Max Fried. But Duran was caught so flat-footed he didn’t bother to dive back to the bag.
Alex Cora was careful not to be too critical after the game.
“[Lauer] got him. It’s just a good move and [Duran] froze and he was going to be out,” the manager said. “That’s not like hustle or whatever. He just got picked off.”
But Duran also has thrown to the wrong base, failed to back up plays and lost a fly ball in the lights for an inside-the-park grand slam and didn’t chase it down.
Cora acknowledged that part of his game needs to be cleaned up.
“We talk about it,” he said. “We went over that pick. The guy has a great move and in that situation you don’t want to get picked off. He’s still learning; he’s still young. It’s part of the process.
“The fact that he’s here is because we needed him at that point. There’s going to be some great days and there’s going to be some tough days. Us as a coaching staff, we’ve got to keep preaching and keep talking and showing him stuff and teaching him the game.”

It comes back to roster construction. The Sox traded Renfroe and tried to replace him in right field with an amalgam of Bradley, Cordero, and infielder Christian Arroyo. Once Kiké Hernández was lost to a hip injury, the structure fell apart. Now the coaches are left teaching Duran on the fly.
“He was in Triple A for a reason, right? To get more at-bats and more innings and play. Kiké gets hurt and he’s the guy here,” Cora said.
Ideally, the Sox would have sent Duran back to Worcester on Saturday night with instructions to focus harder on the nuances of the game if he wants to return.
Instead he’ll probably be back in center field against the Brewers on Sunday. Hernández hasn’t played since June 7 because of a hip strain. He had a platelet-rich plasma injection two weeks ago and the hope is that will allow him to play again this season. When Hernández returns and how often he’ll be able to play isn’t certain.
As one of the worst months in team history comes to end, the Sox appear delirious.
“For us as a team, I think we’re doing a lot of things right,” said Nick Pivetta, who allowed four runs over five innings. “I think where we’re at right now, there’s a lot to build on.”
A lot of things right? Well, there is one good thing, at least.
There have been so many Brewers fans at Fenway Park this weekend that their cheers drown out the boos from Red Sox fans.

In June we will graduate from Montana’s medical school and begin our careers as resident-physicians in training. For the past 50 years, WWAMI, Montana’s public medical school partnership, has been growing the next generation of physicians to serve local communities. We want all Montanans to take pride in this homegrown approach and say thank you for your support.
The WWAMI program is a four-year medical school right here in Montana operated through a partnership between Montana State University and the top-ranked University of Washington School of Medicine. The acronym stands for the five states that make up the collective program — Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho. Montana WWAMI admits 30 students per year, most of whom are like us — born and raised right here in Montana with commitments to return to the state to practice medicine. The program also prioritizes students who plan to practice primary care and even designates nearly half of each entering class to a rural medicine track.
One of the strengths of the program is its connection with the University of Washington, which is ranked No. 1 in the nation for both primary care and family medicine education. As Montana WWAMI students, we train in both Montana and Seattle, bringing back the academic rigor of UW to our hometowns and throughout the state.
People are also reading…
Because of the academic strength of Montana WWAMI, we are well poised to take residency positions at some of the most well-respected training programs in our chosen specialties. And after residency, which is three to seven years of mandatory training after medical school for new physicians, we are planning to return to our home state to practice.
The quality of medical training in and for Montana matters. The residents training now will be caring for our communities, our children, our parents and will relieve current doctors caring for our state. Montana might be rural and small in population, but we all deserve access to world-class health care. And WWAMI delivers.
As a public medical school, Montana WWAMI is not motivated by profit or other interests, and its students, like us, have a track record of becoming in-state physician leaders for the past 50 years. New private or for-profit medical schools may bring in more medical students, most of them from out of state, but they are unlikely to return to practice in Montana after having to do their clinical training elsewhere. Students in these new programs will have significantly more debt than Montana WWAMI grads, which matters as our state's cost of living continues to climb.
WWAMI focuses thoughtfully on quality before quantity. The mission is providing sustainable, top-notch medical training to future Montana physicians. The WWAMI program is simply unbeatable in quality, mission and service to Montana. And it’s made up of Montanans, like us, planning to be your future physicians. The program has been diligently serving our state for 50 years, for that we say thank you, and let’s support and grow Montana’s medical school for the next 50 and beyond.

Earlier this month, Twitter launched Twitter Blue for its iPhone app – and everyone was confused.
For $7.99 a month users would have access to special features like editing tweets and the blue check that had previously been used to prove that an account was official. The service was part of CEO Elon Musk's plan to generate revenue after acquiring Twitter in October for $44 billion, but the plan quickly backfired.
The tech company quickly suspended the service after a rise in false impersonations, including a costly one to Eli Lily, but there are still accounts that have the blue tick due to their subscription. Here's how to spot the difference:
As of now, all the blue checks still look the same so when you see a tweet with a verified mark next to it you'll want to head to the profile of the person who posted the tweet.
Get South Florida local news, weather forecasts and entertainment stories to your inbox. Sign up for NBC South Florida newsletters.
What does an official verified account look like?
Tap on the blue check next to their name and one of two messages will pop up.
If the account went through the previous method of becoming "official," it will say, "This account is verified because it's notable in government, news, entertainment, or another designated category."
What does a Twitter Blue verified account look like?
If not, you will see, "This account is verified because it's subscribed to Twitter Blue."
On Tuesday, Elon Musk tweeted that they will be relaunching the subscription on November 29th. There is no word if the pop-up messages will change but until then, this is the best way to weed out official sources from subscribers. | 2022-11-18T16:41:39+00:00 | nbcmiami.com | https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/tech/how-to-spot-the-difference-between-an-official-and-paid-blue-check-on-twitter/2912281/ |
Investment led by Trailhead Capital to ramp up Mad Capital's operations, expand their farmer ecosystem, and transition more acres into regenerative organic farmland.
BOULDER, Colo., Dec. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mad Capital, an impact-focused lender that offers equitable, flexible funding for organic and transitioning farmers, announced today that they've raised a $4M Seed round, led by Trailhead Capital.
"Regenerative agriculture aspires to work with nature, rather than against it," said Phil Taylor, co-founder of Mad Capital. "Mad Capital is a bold reimagination of financing in nature's image, empowering farmers to create farm ecosystems that are good for the Earth and good for humanity."
"Our goal is to finance 10 million acres of farmland by 2032. We are thrilled to have expanded our investor community and now have the resources to continue backing farmers who are transitioning more land to regenerative organic production", added co-founder Brandon Welch.
Conventional and industrial agriculture are responsible for the ongoing degradation of our soil, massive greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity loss, and chemical laden foods. Regenerative organic farming is a rising movement that addresses these challenges by working with nature to maximize the health of soil, people, and animals. However, many farmers struggle to convert to regenerative organic because traditional banks are largely unwilling to supply transition financing.
"In the coming year, we'll turn our focus to building out our network of mission-aligned capital partners and launching our second Perennial Fund, with a goal of financing an additional 100,000 acres of farmland in 2023," commented Brandon Welch.
Mad Capital manages innovative pools of capital that offer farmers flexible and customized financing to help them thrive during the organic transition period. Their inaugural fund, the Perennial Fund, blends debt funds with traditional financing to create one-of-a-kind capital stacks for their farmers to accelerate their transition. Without this custom working capital, farmers often take a financial hit during the standard three year period it takes for farms to regenerate their ability to produce a consistent crop yield.
Mad Capital's funds are supported by a global cadre of investors that believe this model can scale worldwide, such as Patagonia's venture capital fund Tin Shed Ventures, Silverstrand Capital, Homecoming Capital, and 38 others.
"This is an amazing team with an amazing opportunity in front of it," said Mark Lewis, Managing Partner at Trailhead Capital, an investment firm focused on regenerative agriculture. "Mad Capital is working to determine how do we optimally reward the stewards that are doing the most noble and regenerative work? That is the question we aim to address and innovate on."
Other participating investors in the Seed round include Bonaventure Capital, Homecoming Capital, Impact Assets, One Small Planet, Pelican Ag, Lacebark Investments, and 17 others.
Mad Capital is working to prove the viability of regenerative organic agriculture as an asset class that can provide consistent yield in the face of an uncertain macroeconomic environment. Over time, Mad Capital plans to securitize their regenerative organic farm loans to scale the growing industry while helping capital partners meet their climate and sustainability goals.

Mad Capital is a specialty finance company that provides customized, one-stop credit to regenerative organic and transitioning farmers. Mad Capital offers farmers operating, equipment, and infrastructure loans, as well as mortgages, working capital, and transitional loans.

SINGAPORE (AP) — Singapore on Wednesday executed a Malaysian man convicted of drug smuggling after a court dismissed a last-minute challenge from his mother and international pleas to spare him on grounds he was mentally disabled.
Nagaenthran K. Dharmalingam, 34, had been on death row for over a decade after he was found guilty of trafficking about 43 grams (1.5 ounces) of heroin into Singapore. The city-state's government has said its use of the death penalty for drug crimes is made clear at the borders.
Nagaenthran’s family and social activists confirmed the execution Wednesday.
“On this score may I declare that Malaysia is far more humane,” his sister, Sarmila Dharmalingam, said. “Zero to Singapore on this.”
Nagaenthran’s supporters and lawyers said he had an IQ of 69 and was intellectually disabled, and that the execution of a mentally ill person was prohibited under international human rights law.
Singapore courts cited psychiatrists' testimony that he was not mentally disabled and had understood his actions at the time of his crime.
“Nagaenthran Dharmalingam’s name will go down in history as the victim of a tragic miscarriage of justice,” said Maya Foa, director of nongovernmental organization Reprieve.
“Hanging an intellectually disabled, mentally unwell man because he was coerced into carrying less than three tablespoons of diamorphine is unjustifiable and a flagrant violation of international laws that Singapore has chosen to sign up to,” she said.
Nagaenthran and his mother filed a motion Monday arguing that it was unconstitutional to proceed with his death sentence and that he may not have been given a fair trial because the chief justice who presided over his appeals had been the attorney general when Nagaenthran was convicted in 2010, which the filing alleged could be a conflict of interest.
The court dismissed the motion, describing it as “frivolous.”
His family said Nagaenthran’s body will be brought to their hometown in Malaysia's northern state of Perak for a funeral.
Singapore had halted executions for two years because of the COVID-19 pandemic before resuming them with the execution of a drug trafficker in March.
Anyone found with over 15 grams (0.5 ounces) of heroin faces the death sentence in Singapore, although it can be reduced to life in prison. Attempts to reduce Nagaenthran's sentence or obtain a presidential pardon failed.
Malaysia’s leader, European Union representatives and global figures such as British business magnate Richard Branson called for Nagaenthran’s life to be spared and used the case to advocate for ending capital punishment.
Human rights group Amnesty International said in a statement that Nagaenthran's hanging “highlights the deep flaws of the death penalty in Singapore and the horror of its continued use.”
“The execution of Nagaenthran is a disgraceful act by the Singapore government – ruthlessly carried out despite extensive protests in Singapore and Malaysia and an outcry across the world,” said Amnesty International’s Asia-Pacific regional director Erwin van der Borght.
According to activists, another Malaysian, Datchinamurthy Kataiah, is scheduled to be executed in Singapore on Friday. He was convicted of smuggling 45 grams (1.5 ounces) of heroin from Malaysia. Singapore doesn’t formally announce its hangings.

SHANGHAI, June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mojia Biotech, a Shanghai-based leading bio-manufacturing company dedicated to sustainable development and carbon neutrality, announced the completion of an $80 million Series B Financing. The funds will be used to commercialize its Viridimin™ brand of animal-feed additives, scale up manufacturing capacity for Aliphane™ series of bio-based materials, advance its product pipeline and expand its global R&D capabilities.
Temasek led the round, with participation from LYZZ Capital, Sento Investment, existing investors Bits x Bites and Asia Green Fund, and other investors.
For over a century, the petrochemical industry has created an abundant chemical universe for daily life and industrial applications. While significantly enhancing our living conditions, the petroleum-based manufacturing processes have also caused tremendous environmental and social challenges, such as greenhouse gas emissions and environmental pollutions. To promote sustainable development, the world is under pressing needs to embrace a much greener and safer supply of chemical and materials, either by feed-stock switch toward renewable carbon sources, or by manufacturing process redesign incorporating the latest advances in synthetic biology.
With its proprietary platform for enzyme and metabolic engineering, Mojia Biotech is committed to transforming the chemical and polymer space. In the past few years, Mojia Biotech has developed innovative pathways to produce Viridimin™ brand of Vitamin B5. Compared to the prevailing approaches, Mojia's patented bio-process not only consumes less energy and emits less wastes, but also ensures a more stable supply of Vitamin B5 because of frequent production disruptions caused by tightening environmental regulations in China. Mojia is planning to bring this state-of-art facility into commission in June 2022.
The second product that Mojia Biotech aims to bring to the market is Aliphane™ series of biopolymer products, which is extremely versatile and has great potential in coating and adhesive applications.
Ansen Chiew, co-founder of Mojia Biotech, says: "Over the last decade, we have established a comprehensive R&D platform combining biology, chemistry, engineering and polymer sciences,
accumulated hands-on experiences in large-scale bio-production and built strong global commercialization capabilities. Our green technology is a prove that it is possible to address environmental pollution associated with traditional chemical industry yet achieving cost advantage and performance supercity. We greatly appreciate visionary and like-minded investors like Temasek, Asia Green Fund, Bits x Bites and LYZZ Capital in supporting our mission for sustainable development and carbon neutrality."
Joseph Zhou, managing partner of Bits x Bites, says: "Sustainable ingredient manufacturing is a pillar for a thriving green economy. And with the recent delays and shortages in the global supply chain highlighting the importance to reduce reliance on raw material imports, we see huge potential for Mojia Biotech to apply its technology across different chemical ingredients , and to become a leader for next-generation green chemical production. "
Bo Bai, Chairman and Founder of Asia Green Fund, says: "Chemical bio-manufacturing is one of today's most dynamic fields in the chemical industry. With its R&D activities and cross-disciplinary innovations, Mojia Biotech has effectively tackled issues such as long processes, high energy consumption and environmentally polluting by-products. We are pleased to work with Mojia Biotech to promote green and cost-leading innovation in chemicals and new materials."

WEST FELICIANA PARISH, La. (BRPROUD) – The Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections says a Louisiana State Penitentiary inmate is dead after he was found unresponsive in his cell Friday morning.
According to public safety officials, Tyler Ashpaugh, 28, was found in his cell around 6:40 a.m. as a corrections officer was making routine rounds. After Ashpaugh failed to respond, the staff opened the cell and Ashpaugh was sent to the infirmary where he was later pronounced dead.
Ashpaugh pleaded guilty to manslaughter in 2018 for his alleged involvement in a murder-for-hire plot, according to court documents.
Ashpaugh was requested to be housed as a pretrial inmate since September 2015, according to the DPSC. Officials added that Ashpaugh was originally held at Dixon Correctional Institute until January 12, 2021, but was transferred.
An investigation has been launched into his death. No other details were released. | 2023-01-27T22:25:31+00:00 | ktalnews.com | https://www.ktalnews.com/news/state-news/louisiana/angola-inmate-allegedly-involved-in-2015-murder-for-hire-plot-dies-in-prison/ |
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Malaysia’s king met with lawmakers Wednesday and will next consult other royal families in a continuing search for a prime minister after inconclusive general elections that saw the rise of Islamists sparked anxieties in the multiracial nation.
Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim’s Pakatan Harapan, or Alliance of Hope, topped Saturday’s poll with 82 parliamentary seats, but failed to reach the 112 needed for a majority. Former Prime Minister Muhyiddin’s Malay-centric Perikatan Nasional, or National Alliance, won 73 seats. The hung parliament renewed a leadership crisis in Malaysia that saw three prime ministers since 2018.
The biggest winner was the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, the hard-line ally in Muhyiddin’s bloc, with 49 seats — more than double what it won in 2018. Known as PAS, it backs Islamic Shariah law, rules three states and is now the single largest party.
As the contest for the top job drags on, police have tightened security as posts on social media warned of racial troubles if Anwar’s multiethnic bloc wins. Malay Muslims form two-thirds of Malaysia’s 33 million people, who include large ethnic Chinese and Indian minorities.
National police chief Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani said Wednesday that security has been tightened at strategic locations nationwide to ensure public safety and order. Police have earlier warned of stern action against social media users fanning racial and religious sentiments.
A group of civil society and rights organizations said they detected a coordinated attempt on social media to promote Muhyiddin’s bloc and demonize Anwar and one of its Chinese-dominated allies, the Democratic Action Party, or DAP. Islamic stalwarts have often used DAP as a bogeyman to warn Malays of Chinese political dominance if Anwar’s bloc wins.
The group said in a statement that the posts blamed DAP for causing violence in 1969 that left hundreds dead, mostly Chinese. An affirmative action program that gives privileges to Malays in jobs, housing and education was introduced after the 1969 unrest to give them more opportunities to narrow the wealth gap with the business-minded Chinese.
“The posts then evolved into videos containing images of weapons and guns, with messages warning the Malay majority to beware of DAP and Pakatan Harapan. They also threatened a return of racial unrest,” the group said. Short video app TikTok reportedly said it has zero tolerance against any form of hate speech and violent extremism and will remove content that violates its community guidelines.
King Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah proposed a unity government after meeting the two leaders Tuesday but Muhyiddin rejected the idea. The monarch Wednesday met leaders from the third largest bloc, the alliance led by the United Malays National Organization, as well as another influential bloc from Borneo island.
UMNO President Ahmad Zahid Hamidi told the Malaysiakini online news portal that the king requested his National Front to be part of a unity government during the meeting. He said the alliance’s decision-making body and its 30 lawmakers who won in the polls will hold more talks Wednesday evening. The National Front had earlier said it will support neither leader and remain in opposition.
The palace in a statement said Sultan Abdullah will meet Thursday with royal families from nine states to consult them on the deadlock. Malaysia’s hereditary state rulers, who take turns as the country’s king every five years under a unique rotation system, are highly regarded by the country’s Malay majority as the guardians of Islam and Malay tradition.
“Our country’s future is valuable and we have to plan it carefully,” the king said in the statement as he appealed for calm.
Anwar’s reformist alliance won 2018 elections that led to the first regime change since Malaysia’s independence from Britain in 1957. But the government collapsed after Muhyiddin defected and joined hands with UMNO to form a new government. Muhyiddin’s government was beset by internal rivalries and he resigned after 17 months. UMNO leader Ismail Sabri Yaakob was then picked by the king as the prime minister.
Many rural Malays fear they may lose their rights with greater pluralism under Anwar. Fed up with corruption and infighting in UMNO, many opted for Muhyiddin’s bloc in Saturday’s vote. | 2022-11-23T12:00:20+00:00 | cbs4indy.com | https://cbs4indy.com/news/national-world/ap-international/ap-malaysian-king-searches-for-pm-to-end-deadlock/ |

The Biden administration said Monday it is approving the huge Willow oil-drilling project on Alaska's petroleum-rich North Slope, a major environmental decision by President Joe Biden that drew quick condemnation that it flies in the face of the Democratic president's pledges to slow climate change.
The announcement came a day after the administration, in a move in the other direction toward conservation, said it would bar or limit drilling in some other areas of Alaska and the Arctic Ocean.
The Willow approval by the Bureau of Land Management would allow three drill sites, which would include up to 199 total wells. Two other drill sites proposed for the project would be denied. Project developer ConocoPhillips has said it considers the three-site option workable, and company chairman and CEO Ryan Lance called the order "the right decision for Alaska and our nation."
Houston-based ConocoPhillips will relinquish rights to about 68,000 acres of existing leases in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska.
The order, one of the most significant of Interior Secretary Deb Haaland's tenure, was not signed by her but rather by her deputy, Tommy Beaudreau, who grew up in Alaska and has a close relationship with state lawmakers. She was notably silent on the project, which she had opposed as a New Mexico congresswoman before becoming Interior secretary two years ago.
Climate activists were outraged that Biden approved the project, which they say put his climate legacy at risk. Allowing the drilling plan to go forward would be a major breach of Biden's campaign promise to stop new oil drilling on federal lands, they say.
However, administration officials were concerned that ConocoPhillips' decades-old leases limited the government's legal ability to block the project and that courts might have ruled in the company's favor.
Monday's announcement is not likely to be the last word, with litigation expected from environmental groups.
The Willow project could produce up to 180,000 barrels of oil a day, create up to 2,500 jobs during construction and 300 long-term jobs, and generate billions of dollars in royalties and tax revenues for the federal, state and local governments, the company said.
The project, located in the federally designated National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, enjoys widespread political support in the state. Alaska Native state lawmakers recently met with Interior Secretary Deb Haaland to urge support for Willow.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, said Monday the decision was "very good news for the country."
"Not only will this mean jobs and revenue for Alaska, it will be resources that are needed for the country and for our friends and allies," Murkowski said. "The administration listened to Alaska voices. They listed to the delegation as we pressed the case for energy security and national security."
Fellow Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan said conditions attached to the project should not reduce Willow's ability to produce up to 180,000 barrels of crude a day. But he said it was "infuriating" that Biden also moved to prevent or limit oil drilling elsewhere in Alaska.
Environmental activists who have promoted a #StopWillow campaign on social media were fuming at the approval, which they called a betrayal.
"This decision greenlights 92% of proposed oil drilling (by ConocoPhllips) and hands over one the most fragile, intact ecosystems in the world to" the oil giant, said Earthjustice President Abigail Dillen. "This is not climate leadership.''
Biden understands the existential threat of climate change, "but he is approving a project that derails his own climate goals,'' said Dillen, whose group vowed legal action to block the project.
Christy Goldfuss, a former Obama White House official who now is a policy chief at the Natural Resources Defense Council, said she was "deeply disappointed'' at Biden's decision to approve Willow, which would produce more than 239 million metric tons of greenhouse gases over the project's 30-year life, roughly equal to the combined emissions from 1.7 million passenger cars.
"This decision is bad for the climate, bad for the environment and bad for the Native Alaska communities who oppose this and feel their voices were not heard,'' Goldfuss said.
Anticipating that reaction among environmental groups, the White House announced on Sunday that Biden will prevent or limit oil drilling in 16 million acres in Alaska and the Arctic Ocean. The plan would bar drilling in nearly 3 million acres of the Beaufort Sea — closing it off from oil exploration — and limit drilling in more than 13 million acres in the National Petroleum Reserve.
The withdrawal of the offshore area ensures that important habitat for whales, seals, polar bears and other wildlife "will be protected in perpetuity from extractive development," the White House said in a statement.
The conservation announcement did little to mollify activists.
"It's a performative action to make the Willow project not look as bad," said Elise Joshi, the acting executive director of Gen-Z for Change, an advocacy organization.
Alaska's bipartisan congressional delegation met with Biden and his advisers in early March to plead their case for the project, while environmental groups rallied opposition and urged project opponents to place pressure on the administration.
City of Nuiqsut Mayor Rosemary Ahtuangaruak, whose community of about 525 people is closest to the proposed development, has been outspoken in her opposition, worried about impacts to caribou and her residents' subsistence lifestyles. The Naqsragmiut Tribal Council, in another North Slope community, also raised concerns with the project.
But there is "majority consensus" in the North Slope region supporting the project, said Nagruk Harcharek, president of the group Voice of the Arctic Iñupiat, whose members include leaders from across much of that region.
The conservation actions announced Sunday complete protections for the entire Beaufort Sea Planning Area, building upon President Barack Obama's 2016 action on the Chukchi Sea Planning Area and the majority of the Beaufort Sea, the White House said.
Separately, the administration moved to protect more than 13 million acres within the petroleum reserve, a 23-million acre chunk of land on Alaska's North Slope set aside a century ago for future oil production.
The Willow project is within the reserve, and ConocoPhillips has long held leases for the site. About half the reserve is off limits to oil and gas leasing under an Obama-era rule reinstated by the Biden administration last year.
Areas to be protected include the Teshekpuk Lake, Utukok Uplands, Colville River, Kasegaluk Lagoon and Peard Bay Special Areas, collectively known for their globally significant habitat for grizzly and polar bears, caribou and hundreds of thousands of migratory birds.

Ukrainian forces retake Russian-held territory near Kharkiv
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian forces in the northeastern Kharkiv region have retaken portions of Russian-held territory there as a Ukrainian counteroffensive in the south has drained some of Moscow’s resources in the area, according to a report released Wednesday.
Ukrainian forces in the Kharkiv region are “likely exploiting Russian force reallocation” to areas near the occupied city of Kherson in the south “to conduct an opportunistic yet highly effective counteroffensive” in the province, Washington-based think tank Institute for the Study of War said.
Ukrainian forces likely used “tactical surprise” to advance at least 12 miles (20 kilometers) into Russian-held territory in the Kharkiv region on Wednesday, recapturing approximately 155 square miles (400 square kilometers) of ground, the report said.
Vitaly Ganchev, the Moscow-backed mayor of the town of Kupiansk in a Russian-occupied area of the Kharkiv region, said Thursday that authorities had begun evacuating women and children from the town and nearby areas because of relentless Ukrainian shelling.
In his nightly video address on Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also reported success in the Kharkiv region but didn’t provide details on its scope.
“This week we have good news from the Kharkiv region. You have probably already seen reports about the activity of Ukrainian defenders, and I think every citizen feels proud of our warriors,” Zelenskyy said.
The gains came as Ukraine continued to mount a counteroffensive in the southern Kherson region, where the Ukrainian military is trying to retake territory from the Russians and has claimed the recapture of an unspecified number of towns.
Ukraine’s ongoing operations near Kherson have forced Russian forces to shift their focus to the south, the Institute for the Study of War report said, enabling Ukrainian forces to launch localized but highly effective counterattacks near Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city.
Zelenskyy’s presidential adviser, Oleksiy Arestovych, also spoke of Ukrainian gains near Kharkiv late Wednesday, saying they would help disrupt supplies to Russian forces in the area and potentially lead to their encirclement.
Meanwhile, tensions continued to simmer around Europe’s largest nuclear power plant where Ukraine and Russia have accused each other of threatening a nuclear disaster by shelling near the facility.
The towns of Nikopol and Marhanets, which face the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant across the Dnieper river, had come under Russian shelling overnight that left apartment buildings, a school, some industrial facilities and power lines damaged, said Valentyn Reznichenko, the governor of the Dnipropetrovsk province.
“The nuclear threat isn’t abating because of Russia’s mad actions and we need to consider all possible scenarios, including the worst one,” Reznichenko said in televised remarks.
The head of the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, has warned that “something very, very catastrophic could take place” at the Zaporizhzhia plant and urged Russia and Ukraine to establish a “nuclear safety and security protection zone” around it.
The fear is that the fighting could trigger a disaster on the scale of the Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine in 1986.
Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk urged residents of Russian-occupied areas near the power plant to evacuate, adding that Ukrainian authorities have urged the Russians to set up humanitarian corridors to evacuate local residents but received no response.
“The Russians are continuing to blackmail the Ukrainians and the entire world,” Vereshchuk said. “The Russian state engages in nuclear terrorism, setting the first such precedent in the history of mankind.”
Ukraine’s Enerhoatom company that oversees the country’s nuclear plants said that the Zaporizhzhia plant’s workers were continuing repair works on Thursday to restore at least one of seven power lines to the plant, which has continued to operate with only one of six reactors operating to power the cooling system’s pumps.
Enerhoatom’s chief Petro Kotin said that the IAEA’s proposals to improve safety at the plant can only be implemented if Russian troops leave and are replaced by a peacekeeping contingent.
IN OTHER DEVELOPMENTS:
— Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed agreement on Thursday with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s complaint that most of the grain from Ukraine’s reopened ports have gone to richer parts of the world. Putin said this week that practically all of the grain exported from Ukraine under a deal brokered by Ankara and the United Nations that lifted Russia’s blockade on Ukrainian ports had gone to European Union nations instead of poorer countries. Speaking in Zagreb, Croatia, on the last day of his three-day Balkan tour, Erdogan said that Turkey wished for the grain “to be delivered to really poor countries,” and urged the shipment of food and fertilizers from Russia to begin soon.
— Norway said Thursday it will donate approximately 160 Hellfire missiles to Ukraine as well as launching pads and guidance units. During a meeting in Germany, Norwegian Defense Minister Bjørn Arild Gram said his country would also supply Ukraine with night vision equipment, adding that Kyiv had requested the weapons.
— The chief of the Ukrainian military, Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyy, acknowledged in an article published Wednesday that explosions and fires at air bases in the Russian-annexed Crimean Peninsula last month were caused by a “successful series of rocket strikes on Crimean air bases.” It marked the first official acknowledgement of responsibility for the attacks by Ukrainian authorities. Zaluzhnyy gave no details of the attacks.
— Ukraine’s presidential office said that at least 10 people were killed and another 15 were wounded by Russian shelling over the last 24 hours.

NOTE: This story will be updated later.
Emma Schwarzenbek has steadily improved as Westfield’s season has progressed and she put together her best performance when her team needed it most.
The freshman scored to put the ninth-seeded Blue Devils on the board in the first quarter and buried the game-winner in double overtime to secure a 3-2 win against eighth-seeded Livingston in Livingston in the first round of the NJSIAA North Jersey, Group 4 tournament.
It was the freshman’s first two-goal game of her career and it doubles her season total to four.
Schwarzenbek’s first goal was desperately needed, as it was Livingston jumping out to an early 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Sarah Ferdinand and Gianna Altieri.
Schwarzenbek was given a penalty stroke and scored with a high shot to the top left corner and Westfield was back in it.
Despite owning an 11-1 advantage in corners in the first half, Westfield couldn’t find the equalizer.
It finally arrived with 5:52 to go in the game when Julia Schneider found the back of the cage.
That was it for regulation and one overtime. Then Schwarzenbek took the spotlight and scored the game-winner 1:02 into the second overtime.
Westfield will now take on top-seeded Montclair in the quarterfinals on Friday.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah Democrats pulling hard to defeat Republican Sen. Mike Lee took the unusual step Saturday of spurning a party hopeful to instead get behind an independent, former presidential candidate Evan McMullin.
Democrats were swayed by calls from prominent members who said McMullin, a conservative who captured a significant share of the vote in Utah in 2016, was the best chance to beat Lee in the deeply conservative state that hasn’t elected a Democratic U.S. senator for more than 50 years.
“I want to represent you. I’m committed to that. I will maintain my independence,” McMullin told Democratic delegates.
Lee also faced two GOP challengers at his party’s nominating conventions. He handily won in front of the right-leaning crowd with over 70% of the vote. But those candidates will still appear on the primary ballot because they used the state’s other path to the primary ballot and gathered signatures.
Former state lawmaker Becky Edwards garnered about 12% of the vote Saturday. Former gubernatorial deputy chief of staff Ally Isom came in third.
Lee’s relationship with former president Donald Trump has been front and center since CNN reported on text messages showing that the senator was involved in early efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, though Lee later pivoted and voted to confirm the election results after no widespread fraud emerged.
“I did my job,” Lee said about the messages. “I did my job the way that I’ve always promised I would go about doing my job.”
McMullin is a former CIA officer ran for president in 2016 and made inroads in the deeply conservative state where where many GOP voters had reservations about then-candidate Trump. Lee himself cast a protest vote for McMullin, though he later became as staunch Trump ally, and the former president has endorsed him.
A Democrat ran for the nomination, Kael Weston, but the pro-McMullin camp ultimately convinced party delegates to nominate no one, clearing the path for the independent as much as possible. His supporters included prominent Democrats like former Congressman Ben McAdams.
“I know Evan. I trust Evan,” McAdams told delegates during the contentious debate, framing McMullin as the best possible chance to unseat Lee in a state where Republicans outnumber Democrats 4-to-1.
Republican Party Chair Carson Jorgensen took aim at the Democrats’ decision, arguing it showed a weakness in the other party’s platform. “We as Republicans, now’s our time to shine,” he said. “I don’t know if everyone quite understands the gravity of this.”
Also Saturday, moderate Republican Congressman John Curtis was forced into a primary, coming in second in a crowded field that included a challenger who brought in longtime Trump confidant Roger Stone. The effort didn’t carry candidate Jason Preston beyond the first round of voting, however. | 2022-04-24T21:53:27+00:00 | texomashomepage.com | https://www.texomashomepage.com/news/political-news/utah-democrats-choose-independent-as-candidate-for-us-senate/ |
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — If Riqui Puig is the LA Galaxy’s best hope to help turn around a dismal season, he certainly put on a great display in their biggest game of the year.
The Spanish midfielder had a goal and an assist as the Galaxy defeated Los Angeles Football Club 2-1 on Tuesday night before an MLS record crowd of 82,110 at the Rose Bowl.
The 18th edition of the LA rivalry known as El Trafico broke the previous mark of 74,479, set last year when Charlotte FC played its first home game against the Galaxy. It was originally scheduled for Feb. 25 as the showcase game on the first day of the MLS regular season, but it got postponed due to heavy rain and wind in Southern California.
“The atmosphere was amazing. We came here and won. It was a spectacular match,” Puig said through an interpreter. “I’m a player who likes to play these big games with a lot of pressure and fans.”
The Galaxy called the Rose Bowl home from 1996-2002, until they moved into their own stadium. Coach Greg Vanney was a player during the first six seasons and acknowledged he felt a rush of memories as the bus pulled in before the game.
“For me personally, to be back here and see it full shows how far the league has come. It was an incredible atmosphere,” he said.
Puig, who is used to playing big games after spending four seasons with Barcelona, assisted on Tyler Boyd’s goal in the 26th minute and then had the go-ahead score in the 73rd minute for the Galaxy, who are unbeaten in their last six matches with two wins and four ties.
It was only Puig’s second goal of the season. He will need to provide more highlights like Tuesday’s performance if the Galaxy are going to rebound from an awful start and make the playoffs. Puig is considered the Galaxy’s top scoring threat after Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez had season-ending knee surgery on June 23.
“Given the moment and the stadium and amount of people, he was outstanding. He plays at a different speed,” Vanney said.
LAFC’s goal came from Ilie Sanchez in the 57th minute. The defending MLS Cup champions have dropped three straight and five of seven.
LAFC is tied with Seattle for second place in the Western Conference and is three points behind surprising St. Louis FC.
“It was a great atmosphere all around. We’re disappointed we couldn’t get a win, but when you are chasing the game it is difficult,” LAFC coach Steve Cherundolo said.
Douglas Costa was near midfield when he sent a pass up the left side, where Boyd chased it downfield. Boyd then delivered a centering pass as Puig outran LAFC midfielder Timothy Tillman and put it past goalkeeper John McCarthy for his first goal in 12 games. His previous one came on April 22 against Austin.
LAFC evened it 1-1 off a set piece. Tillman delivered a corner kick toward the near post and Sanchez put a perfect header past Galaxy goalie Jonathan Klinsmann, who came in at halftime after Jonathan Bond injured his hamstring.
The Galaxy struck first in the 26th minute when Boyd took a pass from Puig, spun away from Erik Duenas near the left side of the box and blasted a right-footer into the top right corner.
LAFC appeared to tie it in the 84th minute, but Carlos Vela was called offside.
“This game felt like it should, a real game that matters to the 82,000 here and in LA. At times it was not the best football, but it was an exciting and passionate match,” Cherundolo said.

WASHINGTON — Lionel Messi says he is coming to Inter Miami and joining Major League Soccer.
After months of speculation, Messi announced his decision Wednesday to join a Miami franchise that has been led by another global soccer icon in David Beckham since its inception but has yet to make any real splashes on the field.
That likely will soon change. One of Inter Miami's owners, Jorge Mas, tweeted out a photo of a darkly silhouetted Messi jersey shortly before the Argentinian great revealed his decision in interviews with Spanish news outlets Mundo Deportivo and Sport.
It was widely believed that Messi eventually would choose to play for Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, following fellow great and his longtime rival Cristiano Ronaldo to a nation where some clubs now are funded by the state’s sovereign wealth fund. Going back to Barcelona, a storied franchise that he spent most of his career with, was another possibility.
But in the end, he made the call that surprised many. Messi is joining MLS.
The Argentina great, fresh off winning the World Cup in December, was essentially a free agent after bidding adieu to Paris Saint-Germain.
Messi's announcement of a move to MLS is a major boost for American soccer, which has attracted superstars like Pele, Beckham and Thierry Henry over the years, but signing Messi was believed to require something creative from both the league and the Miami team.
A Tuesday report from the Athletic reported the potential deal to bring Messi to MLS involved contributions from the league's two biggest commercial partners.
The most recent post on Messi's Instagram account was on May 28 and shows him playing for PSG. He won't be there next season, that's for sure. He played his last game — to a backdrop of jeers — for the French team on Saturday.
When will Messi play his first game in MLS?
It's not yet known when Messi will make his Major League Soccer debut.
But even before Messi announced his decision Wednesday afternoon, reports led to ticket prices soaring across the MLS for games featuring Inter Miami. | 2023-06-07T19:51:44+00:00 | kagstv.com | https://www.kagstv.com/article/news/nation-world/lionel-messi-mls-inter-miami-decision/507-c0d30ec4-0410-4c2d-8f6b-b251fa7f79b7 |

After an exciting 69-65 victory over Dayton on Sunday, the Gators women’s basketball team will host Presbyterian Tuesday at 6 p.m. This is the second time in program history the Gators will take on the Blue Hose. The last time this matchup occurred was in Nov. 2019, with Florida coming out on top 60-46.
Meet us at the O’Dome 😤🔥🐊
🆚 : Presbyterian College
📍 : Gainesville, Fla.
⏱ : 6 p.m.
📺 : https://t.co/PRWiDQCCRP

📻 : https://t.co/UE2GgkFBbC#GoGators pic.twitter.com/v0yjB28Q5a— Gators Women’s Basketball (@GatorsWBK) December 6, 2022
A Promising Start
The Gators hold an 8-1 record through nine games to start the season. If the team stays on this track, they could potentially have their best start to the season in program history. Back in 2015, they opened with a 12-1 record. Florida’s most impressive start was in 2008-09, when they began the season winning 15 of their first 16 games. Most notably, the team is nearing it’s 800th win overall during 49 years of program existence. If the Gators come out with a win tonight, they will stand at 797 wins. There are 12 other SEC women’s basketball programs who have reached this goal. Tennessee and Georgia are leading the pack with 1,401 and 1,018 wins, respectively.
Key Tactics
It’s obvious that the Gators have sharpened their defense this season. Nine games in, the team averages 21.33 forced turnovers per game, which is second in the SEC and 35th nationally. Contributing to this is the five games in which the team forced over 20 turnovers. This was most noticeable in their first game of the season against Florida A&M. The team forced the Rattlers to rurn the ball over 28 times back on Nov. 7. With an average of 10.4 steals per game, Florida ranks fifth in the SEC and 58th in the nation.
Exceptional Players
The Blue Hose will have to contain senior guard Nina Rickards, who posted her career best in points and rebounds on Sunday against the Flyers. She put up 24 points for the Gators adding 11 rebounds. Sophomore guard Alberte Rimdal looks to top her record of 19 points, which added to the Gators win against Furman this season.

The strategic move creates a solution for local, small-and medium-sized businesses that are tired of being priced out of the healthcare system and provides access to affordable healthcare plans
SALT LAKE CITY, April 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Redirect Health, a platform that creates and manages healthcare solutions and products that meaningfully improve access and affordability for businesses and employees, today announced its collaboration with Kroger/Smith's, a leading national grocer and pharmacy chain that provides convenient and affordable pharmacy services across the state and includes a direct contract with the local health system and hospitals.
A kick-off event for local brokers and business owners will be held on Tuesday, April 11 at 6:00 p.m. at 3000 Triumph Blvd. in Lehi, Utah. The dinner event will feature a live Q&A session featuring case studies from local business owners and brokers, as well as include expert speakers and presentations about price transparency, health insurance savings, and access to affordable prescriptions and vital procedures from hospitals, urgent care centers, and more.
"Out-of-pocket costs, deductibles, and premium costs are rising at alarming rates, and SMBs are feeling the squeeze," said Dr. David Berg, CEO and Co-Founder at Redirect Health. "As we continue to prioritize the needs of communities and local doctors and hospitals across the US, we are proud to be collaborating with Kroger/Smith's in Utah to show brokers and SMBs why creating simplicity in the healthcare market is vital. Redirect Health's affordable healthcare plans are designed with employees in mind and allows business owners to offer a healthcare option that provides their employees with premium, deductible, and out-of-pocket relief that results in a healthier, happier, more efficient workforce."
SMBs are constantly being priced out of the healthcare system, one that comes with limited access and yearly double-digit premium increases. Brokers are the interface of small business communities, and they are tired of traditional health care plans that are simply too unattainable for their clients, resulting in employees that cannot afford to opt into their plan and lowering overall participation rates.
"Redirect Health shares our common goal of providing accessible healthcare to residents of the Salt Lake region," said Jaime Montuoro, PharmD, Division Health Leader for Smith's. "Through this collaboration, Redirect Health customers can conveniently pick up their prescriptions at any of our pharmacies throughout the state. Our pharmacists and pharmacy technicians provide exceptional customer service and tools to support optimal medication use, including affordability of prescriptions. We are looking forward to offering quality care to small- and medium-sized businesses in the area."

So much of the talk about Georgia last year focused on a defense that produced five NFL first-round draft picks.
The Bulldogs’ defense showed no sign of dropping off against No. 11 Oregon, but it was the offense that was front and center statistically in a 49-3 win Sunday.
The No. 3 and defending national champion Bulldogs became the second team in 15 seasons to score a touchdown on its first seven possessions against a ranked opponent.
The seven TD drives ranged from six to 12 plays, the first six under the direction of quarterback Stetson Bennett. Backup Carson Beck was in the game for the seventh. The streak ended when they went three-and-out on their first full series of the fourth quarter.
Last year Ohio State reached the end zone on its first seven drives, all in the first half, against then-No. 9 Michigan State.
BLOCK THAT KICK
FBS kickers have been pretty much automatic on extra points, having converted 571 of 580 this season. Of the nine misses, three were blocked — none bigger than Shyheim Brown’s deflection of Damian Ramos’ try on the final play of Florida State’s 24-23 win over LSU on Sunday.
In the past 20 years, according to Sportradar, no previous one-point game involving an FBS team had ended with the winning team blocking an extra point with no time left in the fourth quarter.
Kickers for Baylor and Akron also had extra-point tries blocked over the weekend.
SCORING EXPLOSION
Appalachian State’s 40 points in the fourth quarter of its 63-61 loss to North Carolina were the most by a team in a quarter since BYU hung 42 on Massachusetts in the second in 2019 and most by a team in a fourth quarter in 20 years, according to Sportradar.
According to Stats Perform, Saturday marked the first time an FBS team scored at least 60 points and lost and an FBS scored fewer than 10 points and won on the same day. Iowa turned a field goal and two safeties into a 7-3 win over South Dakota State.
ROCK CHALK RUN
Kansas heads to West Virginia this week with a shot of confidence from some of its offensive feats, albeit against Tennessee Tech of the Championship Subdivision.
The Jayhawks’ average of 9.9 yards per carry was their highest in a game since at least 2000. Their 297 rushing yards were their most since they had 508 against Rutgers in 2018.
Kansas’ won 56-10, scoring its most points in an opener since 1912 and most in a home game since a 76-39 win over Nebraska in 2007.
RULE OF 70
Wisconsin, in a 38-0 win over Illinois State, was the first FBS team in four years to have a run, pass and interception return of at least 70 yards in the same game.
Braelon Allen’s 96-yard touchdown against Illinois State was the longest run from scrimmage in program history, John Torchio set a school record with a 100-yard interception return and Chimere Dike turned a short pass into a 74-yard gain for the longest completion in quarterback Graham Mertz’s career.
Middle Tennessee was the previous team with 70-yard plays three different ways, doing it against Old Dominion in 2018. No Big Ten team had done it since 2003.
‘AIR’ AIR FORCE
Haaziq Daniels put the air in Air Force on his first pass attempt of the season.
The Falcons, whose triple-option offense has had a run-pass ratio of nearly 90-10 the past two seasons, scored their first touchdown in a 48-17 win over Northern Iowa on Daniels’ 80-yard pass to Dane Kinamon.
Air Force faced third-and-12 from its 20 when Daniels scrambled to his left and threw to Kinamon, who had his defender beat by 5 yards and caught the ball in stride.
It was Air Force’s longest pass since Daniels’ school-record 92-yarder against Colorado State last year.

MIAMI (AP) — Win Game 1, lose Game 2, win Game 3.
The Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat have followed the same path to 2-1 leads in their respective first-round series — and on Monday night, both will hope to break that win-one-lose-one trend and grab command of their matchups.
The seventh-seeded Lakers play host to the second-seeded Memphis Grizzlies in Game 4 of their Western Conference series, while the eighth-seeded Heat — who lost Victor Oladipo for the season in Saturday’s win — play host to the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks in Game 4 of that Eastern Conference matchup.
“You have to respect championship DNA. They have it,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said of the Bucks on Sunday. “They have guys that have been through the battle, have been through the wars. It’s not like they’re going to get sick at sea because they’re down 2-1. They’ll just go and focus on doing what they have to do to try to get tomorrow and that’s what our focus is as well. It’s competition. You got to put yourself out there and do we have to do.”
The Bucks are waiting to see if Giannis Antetokounmpo — who bruised his lower back in the first half of Game 1, then didn’t play in Games 2 or 3 — can play Monday. The Bucks didn’t practice Sunday, but Antetokounmpo did some on-court work in an effort to determine what he might be able to do in Game 4.
“He is the constant. He is the key and he always wants to make himself available,” Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said Sunday.
No final decision is expected on Antetokounmpo until Monday.
Miami used a 19-0 early run to take control of its win on Saturday night. The Lakers — quite possibly steamed a bit by some comments Memphis’ Dillon Brooks made about LeBron James — left no doubt right away, grabbing a 38-9 lead to open the game.
“I don’t need to make statements,” James said.
Correct, but he and the Lakers made one anyway — and they can make an even bigger one with a win on Monday.
“The way our guys fought for quarters two, three, and four showed a lot of great resiliency,” Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said, noting that his team erased most of the 29-point deficit and made things a bit interesting before losing 111-101. “We’ve got to learn and get better from this. Adversity’s going to get the best out of us.”
BUCKS AT HEAT
Miami leads 2-1. Game 4, 7:30 p.m. EDT, TNT.
— NEED TO KNOW: This is the 12th time that a No. 8 seed has taken a 2-1 lead over a No. 1 seed in this playoff format; the higher seed rallied to win in seven of the previous 11 such situations.
— KEEP AN EYE ON: The 3-point line. Milwaukee has made 125 3-pointers in seven games against Miami this season — outscoring the Heat by 123 points in that span from beyond the arc. But the Heat have won four of the seven games so far.
— INJURY WATCH: Milwaukee is waiting to see if Antetokounmpo (lower back contusion in Game 1) can play or will sit a third consecutive game. He has played 53 of a possible 336 minutes against Miami this season. Oladipo (torn left patellar tendon in Game 3) is out for the rest of the season for Miami, as is Tyler Herro (broken right hand in Game 1). Jimmy Butler (bruised glute in Game 3) indicated that he will play Monday.
— PRESSURE IS ON: Milwaukee. Going down 3-1 to Butler and the Heat would be a bad plan, even for a No. 1 seed.
GRIZZLIES AT LAKERS
Los Angeles leads 2-1. Game 4, 10 p.m. EDT, TNT.
— NEED TO KNOW: The Grizzlies had the second-worst road record among the NBA’s 16 playoff teams, and they started horrifically in their road playoff opener. After falling behind by 29 in the second quarter of Game 3 and managing to get within only nine before losing, Memphis faces the prospect of a 3-1 series deficit, something this franchise has never overcome.
— KEEP AN EYE ON: Brooks. The Grizzlies’ self-appointed bear-poker avoided suspension for poking James in a sensitive place in Game 3, but Brooks was playing terribly even before he got ejected. His performative aggression is comical and detrimental unless he can contribute something positive.
— INJURY WATCH: Ja Morant’s sore right hand didn’t stop him from dropping 24 of his 45 points in the fourth quarter of Game 3. He shrugged off the pain afterward, saying he simply has to play through it.
— PRESSURE IS ON: Memphis. A huge series deficit would be daunting, but the Grizzlies also need to show their resilience and to demonstrate their depth after relying solely on Morant’s brilliance to make up any ground in Game 3.

The fallout from this week’s destructive atmospheric river storm has forced California park officials to keep many national and state sites completely or partially closed into the weekend — and possibly longer.
California State Parks seems to have taken the brunt of the damage.
In all, 46 state parks are totally closed, while 49 are partially closed as of Saturday morning. The long list of completely inaccessible parks includes popular Bay Area spots like Portola Redwoods State Park, Butano State Park, Pescadero State Beach, Big Basin Redwoods State Park, Samuel P. Taylor State Park, Angel Island State Park and Tomales Bay State Park.
Statewide, five parks sustained "significant" damage in this week’s storms:
- Along the Central Coast, half of the pier at Seacliff State Beach collapsed into the ocean and campgrounds were washed away. The pier was connected to the famous SS Palo Alto, known as the "cement ship," sitting in Monterey Bay in the town of Aptos for nearly a century
- At Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, a tree fell on Pfeiffer Bridge
- Richardson Grove State Park and Standish-Hickey State Recreation Area, both just north of Leggett, are closed due to "significant" tree damage and power outages
- In Southern California, the parking lots, park road and multi-use trail at Bolsa Chica State Beach (between Long Beach and Huntington Beach) are closed to the public because of "flooding and debris from high tide and large surf"
"State Parks would like to thank the public for their patience as we continue to evaluate the impacts from the winter storm," a California State Parks spokesperson told SFGATE in a statement late Friday. "Our goal is to reopen the parks as soon as it is safe to do so — for the public and employees."
Officials don’t yet "have a full assessment of the storm impacts at this time," and the closure list is changing by the day.
In far Northern California, officials at Redwoods National and State Parks continue to assess damage through the weekend with the goal of completely reopening closed areas by Monday, if not earlier.
"The southern end of our park got hit hard,"park guide Mike Poole told SFGATE. "We are just clearing up the debris the best that we can."
There’s a lot of it. Trees "are down everywhere," he said. (How many trees and what type are not yet clear.)
Across the park, many closures are in effect: The Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway, Elk Prairie and Gold Bluffs Beach Campgrounds, Howland Hill Road and Davision Road remain closed through the weekend. The Kuchel Visitor Center and Bald Hills Road are being "assessed for potential reopening," while the park’s "Hike and Bike Day" on Saturday has been called off.
The torrential rains, landslides and high winds wreaked havoc on the forests, prompting Poole to issue a warning for sightseers planning a trip to the parks this weekend: "This is not the best time to visit Redwood National and State Parks."
Other California national parks are dealing with similar weather-related effects.
At Pinnacles National Park, the famous Balconies and Bear Gulch caves remain closed until further notice "due to dangerously high water levels and forceful flow in the caves." Officials have also warned of delayed travel, whiteout conditions and road closures at Lassen Volcanic National Park and Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.
In the Bay Area, some parks have reopened, and some are still closed as damage assessment continues. Check Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Midpeninsula Regional Open Space, East Bay Regional Parks and Sacramento Regional Parks for the latest. | 2023-01-07T12:59:11+00:00 | sfgate.com | https://www.sfgate.com/california-parks/article/many-California-state-parks-remain-closed-storms-17700997.php |

People showed up at convenience stores, groceries and gas stations across the country on Halloween hoping to find their own treat: a chance at Monday night’s massive $1 billion Powerball jackpot.
Among them was Janice Turner, one of a steady stream of people — some wearing costumes — buying Powerball tickets at an outdoor kiosk in midtown Manhattan.
“I’m hoping to be the next billionaire,” Turner said. “I think it’s going to be lucky Halloween.”
In the same line was Scott Henyan, who was already making plans for a jackpot win.
“I would definitely retire, finish my house, probably buy another house, maybe buy a couple of nice cars, take a nice vacation,” he said. “And then probably set all my friends and family up for the rest of their lives and travel the world, you know, do whatever I wanted.”
In Houston, 60-year-old Candy Dumas, a real estate home stager, said she came to a Super K Food Store because of the high payout.
“If I am the lucky winner tonight, the first thing I’m going to do is give some to my church, for sure,” Dumas said. “The second thing would be to buy a home for my children. That’s what I want to do to help my family for sure.”
Guru Redey, a clerk at the store, said people come to the store from miles away because it has a history of selling large jackpot winners and people like to dream of owning expensive things they can’t afford.
Dozens of people, including Orelia Pearson, lined up Monday to buy tickets at the Bluebird Liquor Store in Hawthorne, California, which also has a reputation as being a lucky store.
“It’s a good spot to come,” Pearson said. “And when it’s a good spot to come, you’re supposed to come and play and have your mind on it and be positive and things will happen for you.”
And Sally Tanner said she would give much of her winnings away after buying herself a house and paying off her son’s college costs.
“We’re going through a recession right now,” Tanner said. “The economy sucks, so I would be a giver. I’m a giver, but I will keep some for us. I guess my cup will be full, but when it overflows, I’ll bless others.”
The jackpot soared after no one matched all six numbers in Saturday night’s drawing. It’s the fifth-largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history. The biggest prize was a $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot won by three ticketholders in 2016.
No one has hit all six numbers since Aug. 3, a testament to how slim the odds are of winning the jackpot: 1 in 292.2 million.
Monday’s huge jackpot comes less than two years after another lottery reached the $1 billion mark. A ticket matched all six numbers drawn Jan. 22, 2021, in the Mega Millions lottery to win the $1.05 billion dollar jackpot.
Massive lottery jackpots have become more common in recent years as lottery officials have adjusted game rules and ticket prices to pump up the top prizes. The most recent tweak came in August, when Powerball officials added an additional drawing day — going from two drawings a week to three — in an effort to build larger prizes and boost sales.
Although the odds of winning are meager, the chances of someone — or even multiple players — coming up with the winning numbers is growing. That’s because as the jackpot grows, more people pony up to play.
The $1 billion jackpot prize is for winners who opt to take the full amount piecemeal over 29 annual payments. Nearly all winners opt for a lower cash payment, which for Monday’s drawing would be an estimated $497.3 million.
Once a winning ticket matches the drawing, the Powerball jackpot starts over again at $20 million and continues to grow each drawing until it is won.
Powerball is played in 45 states, as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

2-year-old boy suffered abuse for most of life before final beating, authorities say
HOUSTON (KTRK) - Authorities in Texas say a child suffered continuous physical abuse before he died in May.
Extended family members shared that they were devastated to hear about 2-year-old Daniel Escamia’s death.
According to the Wharton County Sheriff’s Office, he was found beaten with his body enduring continuous physical abuse.
The boy’s mother, Rebecca Lynn Hart, is currently in jail. She has been charged with capital murder. The child’s father, Eddie Escamia, has been charged with child endangerment with bodily injury.
According to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Daniel’s young life was dotted with abuse and neglect investigations, with the first coming soon after he was born. The department confirmed a March 2020 allegation of neglect after the baby tested positive for drugs.
A year later, allegations of physical abuse and neglect were neither substantiated nor disproven, but in April of this year, authorities said the risk assessment for Daniel and his two siblings was high.
Two weeks later, the boy died.
According to the family services report, Daniel had unexplained injuries all over his body the day he died.
The department confirmed he had not been fed and was forced to sleep in a closet by himself in a filthy home. His brother and sister were removed from the house.
Previously, the parents were given family-based safety services. Investigators said the two people who were supposed to protect him did not.

The best kids’ outdoor games
If you’re looking for fun activities to keep children occupied, invest in a few outdoor games. They help children stay active and give them a chance to build other essential skills. This includes sportsmanship, turn-taking and hand-eye coordination. Best of all, several outdoor games for children are all-ages-friendly so that adults can partake in them, too.

What should I know before buying outdoor games for children?
- Space: Children should have ample room to play games without bumping into objects or other players. Some outdoor games, such as horseshoes or ring toss, have smaller footprints and can be set up almost anywhere. This includes decks, patios or garages. Other games, such as flag football, require considerable space for safe play. For that reason, they’re better suited for open spaces like backyards or parks.
- Age group: Like other toys and games, outdoor games indicate their intended age groups. This isn’t only for safety reasons, either. Many outdoor game sets have age-specific equipment for easier handling. Some tee-ball sets, for example, are for babies and toddlers. These have shorter tees and lighter, smaller bats. Regular tee ball sets, on the other hand, have full-size equipment suitable for teens and adults.
- Safety: It’s essential to make sure you’re buying sets with safe equipment. On many occasions, that means choosing quality over price. For example, it’s better to invest in a quality wood croquet set with a smooth solid finish to avoid splinters. Other outdoor games include soft game pieces, such as foam bean bags or rubber balls, so they don’t hurt players if they’re hit with them.

WASHINGTON – It’s been more than a year in the making and has seen plenty of ups and downs. Now, a Democratic economic package focused on climate and health care faces hurdles but seems headed toward party-line passage by Congress next month.
Approval would let President Joe Biden and his party claim a triumph on top priorities as November’s elections approach. They have not forgotten that they came close to approving a far grander version of the bill last year, only to see Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., one of their most conservative and contrarian members, torpedo it at the eleventh hour.
This time, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has crafted a compromise package with Manchin, to the surprise of everyone, transforming the West Virginian from pariah to partner. The measure is more modest than earlier versions but still checks boxes on issues that make Democrats giddy.
Here's what they face:
WHAT'S IN IT?
The measure would raise $739 billion in revenue over 10 years and spend $433 billion. More than $300 billion would be left for trimming federal deficits.
Those are meaningful cuts in red ink. But they’re tiny compared with the $16 trillion in new debt the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates will accumulate over the next decade.
The package would save consumers and the government money by curbing prescription drug prices, and it would subsidize private health insurance for millions of people. It would bolster the IRS budget so the tax agency can collect more unpaid taxes.
The plan would foster clean energy and offshore energy drilling, a balance demanded by Manchin, a champion of fossil fuels. It also would collect new taxes from the largest corporations and wealthy hedge fund owners.
It's a fraction of the $3.5 trillion package that Biden proposed early in his presidency, which also envisioned sums for initiatives such as paid family leave and universal preschool. It's also smaller than the roughly $2 trillion alternative the House passed last November after Manchin demanded cuts then derailed the deal anyway, citing inflation fears.
___
IT'S NOW CALLED THE “INFLATION REDUCTION ACT,” BUT ...
... will it do that? It certainly could, but there are dissenters.
First, some context.
By one inflation measure the Federal Reserve studies closely, prices jumped 6.8% in June from a year ago, the biggest increase in four decades. That followed government figures showing the economy shrank anew last quarter, fueling recession worries.
“Improved tax collection, drug savings, and deficit reduction would put downward pressure on inflation,” the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget said Friday. In what passes for a rave review, the bipartisan fiscal watchdog group called the legislation “exactly the kind of package lawmakers should put in place to help the economy in a number of ways.”
“Deficit reduction is almost always inflation-reducing," Jason Furman, a Harvard University economics professor who was a top economic adviser to President Barack Obama, wrote Friday in The Wall Street Journal. He said the measure would also “reduce inflation by slowing the growth of prescription-drug prices."
A more sobering assessment came from the University of Pennsylvania's Penn Wharton Budget Model, which analyzes economic issues.
“The act would very slightly increase inflation until 2024 and decrease inflation thereafter," the group wrote Friday. “These point estimates are statistically indistinguishable from zero, thereby indicating low confidence that the legislation will have any impact on inflation."
A chorus of Republicans say Democrats' bill would be widely damaging. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., calls it “a giant package of huge new job-killing tax hikes, Green New Deal craziness that will kill American energy, and prescription drug socialism that will leave us with fewer new life-saving medicines."
___
CHANGES AHEAD
The 725-page measure will probably still change somewhat.
Schumer said this past week that Democrats planned to add language aimed at reducing patients' costs of insulin, the diabetes drug that can cost hundreds of dollars monthly.
Insulin price curbs were a highlight of Democrats' bigger package last year, including a $35 monthly cap for patients who get the drug through Medicare or private insurers. But that fell out this year as the measure was trimmed.
Sens. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, have produced a bill capping insulin's price. That measure's prospects diminished after the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated it would cost about $23 billion and actually increase the price of insulin. The two lawmakers also haven't produced the 10 Republicans who would be needed to succeed in the 50-50 Senate, where most bills need 60 votes.
It's unclear what the Democrats' new insulin language would do. Prior language that required private insurers to set a $35 monthly insulin cap may violate the chamber's rules, which only allow provisions primarily affecting the federal budget.
In addition, under the process Democrats are using to move the measure through the chamber by a simple majority, with Vice President Kamala Harris' tiebreaking vote, it would face multiple amendments in a voting session that can run through the night, and there is no telling whether some will pass.
___
PROSPECTS
Every Republican seems poised to vote “no.”
Democrats will need all 50 of their own votes in the Senate, where unpredictable Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., has yet to state her view.
Democrats can lose no more than four House votes to succeed there. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Friday that when the Senate approves the package, “We’ll pass it.”
Schumer wants Senate passage next week. He acknowledged that timeline is “going to be hard" because it will take time for the chamber's parliamentarian to make sure the bill conforms to Senate rules.
This will also take luck. All 50 Democrats, including both independents who support them, will have to be healthy enough to show up and vote.
That's not guaranteed. The latest, extremely contagious COVID-19 variant is spreading around the country. And the chamber has 33 senators who are 70 years old or more, including 19 Democrats.
Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., 77, was the latest senator to announce he'd contracted the disease. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., 82, has been out after hip surgery. Both are expected back next week. | 2022-07-30T15:37:17+00:00 | local10.com | https://www.local10.com/news/politics/2022/07/30/dems-seem-headed-finally-toward-triumph-on-climate-health/ |
FRANKFURT (AP) — Hundreds of Lufthansa flights were canceled Friday as pilots staged a one-day strike to press their demands for better pay and conditions at Germany's biggest carrier.
The airline said about 800 flights were grounded at its two biggest hubs, Frankfurt and Munich, due to the walkout. More than 100,000 passengers would be affected, it said.
Lufthansa said it had offered a one-off increase of 900 euros ($900), amounting to a 5% increase for senior pilots and an 18% increase for those starting the profession.
The pilots union Vereinigung Cockpit had called for a 5.5% raise this year and an automatic above-inflation increase in 2023. In addition, pilots are seeking a new pay and holiday structure that the airline said would increase its staffing costs by about 40%, or some 900 million euros over two years.
Strikes are a common tactic in labor disputes in Germany, where powerful unions have traditionally ensured good conditions for workers.
Germany has seen the highest inflation in decades this year amid a steep rise in energy prices. | 2022-09-02T07:47:28+00:00 | ourmidland.com | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Lufthansa-flights-grounded-as-pilots-up-pressure-17414601.php |
