Colorado’s highest-grossing restaurant was granted an 11th-hour reprieve Wednesday that will allow it to continue serving alcohol while it appeals a decision to suspend its liquor license.
Timberline Steaks & Grille, in Concourse C at Denver International Airport, was scheduled to lose its license for one month beginning Thursday, due to three violations. But Denver District Court Judge Jill Dorancy stayed that decision until a hearing can be held July 25.
“The temporary restraining order is necessary to protect the business and plaintiff’s ability to earn money, even if the amount of monetary damage is difficult to ascertain at this time,” the judge wrote Wednesday, after an expedited hearing.
Dorancy noted that Timberline has more than 150 employees who would be impacted by the license suspension because they would lose gratuity from alcohol sales.
“The harm to plaintiff as evidenced by the testimony is that Timberline Steaks and Grille would lose between 30 to 40 percent of their sales, and plaintiff may also lose employees,” she added.
Rod Tafoya, president of Mission Yogurt Inc., which owns Timberline, testified Wednesday. In a statement after, he called the order “a welcome reprieve” but “only temporary.”
“We’re very grateful that the judge recognized the harm the final decision from the Department of Excise and Licenses would impart on our staff, and we continue to believe that the suggested penalty far outweighs the potential harm created by the former team member’s mistake,” he said.
Tafoya added, “We will continue to do what we can to minimize the impact on the team, and consistently work to offer the best in training and technological safeguards to ensure issues like this don’t happen in the future.”
Denver’s Department of Excise and Licenses declined to comment on the judge’s ruling.
Tafoya and the restaurant’s attorney have argued that the department’s punishment does not fit the crime. On Nov. 12, a waitress working her first day on the job served a Coors Light to a police cadet who was younger than 21 after looking at his driver’s license. The waitress and a waiter training her were fired. The restaurant has said it was a simple mistake.
The Department of Excise and Licenses, on the other hand, has noted that this was Timberline’s third violation in 15 months.
On Aug. 12, 2020, a waitress at Timberline served an underage police cadet a beer after looking at his license, which had “Under 21” printed in red ink. Under a settlement agreement, the restaurant paid a $4,500 fine in lieu of having its license suspended for four days.
On April 9, 2021, a 20-year-old police cadet ordered two Coronas. Again, a waitress asked for his driver’s license and again the cadet showed a license with “Under 21” printed on it but was served the beer anyway. Timberline’s liquor license was suspended for 15 days.
Airport records show Timberline earned $6.3 million in gross sales in the first five months of this year. It routinely ranks among the top 100 highest-grossing independent restaurants in the country on an annual Restaurant Business Magazine list. In 2019, it was 69th with annual sales of $14.7 million. In 2020, it was 74th with $14.4 million. It pays 16 percent of its sales to DIA.
Timberline is represented by attorney Steven Perfrement of Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner.

CLEVELAND (WJW) – The FOX 8 I-Team has obtained new video from the investigation into the hit and run that killed Cleveland firefighter Johnny Tetrick.
This comes to light as the people closest to the firefighter are speaking out.
His family worried one day he would lose his life on duty, but the new video shows police taking the first steps toward justice.
Cleveland Police body camera video shows the moment officers say they found the killer’s car.
As an officer looked it over, you can hear him say, “Looks like there’s some booze bottles in there.”
Meanwhile, Kris Tetrick, the firefighter’s dad said, “I begged him to retire because it was such a dangerous occupation.”
“My last phone call with him, I asked him why he was still on the job at 51,” his daughter, Falon, said. He said he wanted all of us to have health insurance through college.”
“My dad was the most selfless person anyone could ever know,” his daughter, Regan, added. “They (firefighters) lost a brother. We lost a Dad.”
Johnny Tetrick’s father and daughters spoke out while standing with his fellow firefighters from Station 22.
Last Saturday, investigators say, Johnny Tetrick was hit and killed while picking up debris from an accident on I-90.
“He was the rock on his crew. He really helped keep everyone together,” firefighter Dan Zudic said.
Zudic and other firefighters broke down while talking about their fallen first responder.
The new police video also shows the arrest of Leander Bissell. Police carried him to a patrol car. A report shows Bissell was arrested while naked.
Investigators say he’d been driving drunk, hit the firefighter and sped off. We’ve learned police believe Bissell was alone in his car at the time of the hit and run.
He faces charges, but Cleveland and Bratenahl police are still putting together a case. Detectives are even asking about what that driver had been up to before the hit and run.
Johnny Tetrick’s daughters made it clear that they want justice, but based on the family’s deep religious faith, they also are not pressing for the maximum punishment for the suspect.
“My dad, he’d want us to forgive,” said Regan Tetrick.
“He still has value as a human being, and just because he did a bad thing does not mean we hate him,” Eden Tetrick said.
The family members and firefighters from Station 22 consider themselves part of the same family. To all of them, the firehouse is home. Johnny Tetrick spent so many hours there.
“This is our family. We grew up here. We came here for birthdays and Christmases and everything,” Falon Tetrick said.
“He was a great cook,” Firefighter Robert Schwind pointed out. “His mom taught him to make Korean dishes.”
Johnny Tetrick followed in the footsteps of his father, also a career firefighter.
The family hopes a huge crowd of strangers will show up at the funeral to say goodbye and thank you.
While there are still many questions about the suspect, there is no question about the heart of a firefighter killed in the line of duty.
His daughters say he always had a smile on his face, even to the end.
“When we went to say ‘goodbye’ at the hospital, he was smirking,” Falon Tetrick said. | 2022-11-24T19:17:21+00:00 | wdtn.com | https://www.wdtn.com/news/ohio/new-video-released-from-deadly-hit-and-run-as-firefighter-tetricks-family-speaks-out/ |

15-year-old suspect in Raleigh shooting remains in ‘grave’ condition: Official
Posted/updated on: October 16, 2022 at 3:29 pm(RALEIGH, N.C.) -- The teenager suspected in the fatal shootings of five people in Raleigh, North Carolina, is still in "grave" condition, a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation into the mass shooting told ABC News.
The 15-year-old was taken into custody with life-threatening injuries following a standoff with police last Thursday after the shootings occurred, according to a memo issued by the Department of Homeland Security and obtained by ABC News. It's not clear whether the suspect's injuries were self-inflicted, the memo said.
The teen, who has not been named, is still in the hospital in critical condition with life-threatening injuries, the official said on Sunday. While the investigation into whether the suspect's injuries are the result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, detectives believe responding police fired at the suspect, so officer-involved-shooting protocols are being followed, the official said.
Raleigh Police Chief Estella Patterson will file a five-day report to the Raleigh city manager on Oct. 20, which will include a detailed outline of the events during the shooting, Julia Milstead, public information officer for the city of Raleigh, told ABC News.
The report will include details on the suspect's injuries and the type of weapon that was used in the shooting, Milstead said.
Five people were killed and two injured during the shooting, which took place in the vicinity of the Neuse River Greenway Trail in Raleigh, authorities said.
The crime scene spans over 2 miles, Patterson said. Among the victims were an off-duty police officer and a relative of the suspect, the official said. A police dog was also injured but is expected to recover, the official said.
The suspect first shot two people in the streets of the neighborhood before fleeing toward the nature trail, where he opened fire, killing three more people and wounding two others, Patterson told reporters during a news conference on Thursday.
Detectives are continuing their effort to piece together a possible motive for the shooting, the official told ABC News. A search of his juvenile records has not revealed a criminal history, the official added.
Officers searched the suspect’s home on Friday and so far have not found any social media footprint for the suspect, the official said, adding that investigators are going through handwritten material.

(NEXSTAR) – The national mental health crisis hotline, 988, is experiencing an hourslong, systemwide outage Thursday.
The issue started roughly around 10 a.m., according to the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, and is impacting all calls.
“The 988 lifeline is currently experiencing a service outage, we are actively working to address the outage, we also understand you may be in crisis and need services immediately,” a recorded message states.
Veterans are encouraged to call (877) 267-6030 or call any Veteran’s Affairs facility and press 7.
“If you’re in crisis and you need support, text 988 or chat with us online at 988lifeline.org/chat,” the organization wrote on its website.
The Department of Health and Human Services, which oversaw the launch of the three-digit lifeline earlier this year, is in communication with the contractor that supports the line, HHS spokeswoman Sarah Lovenheim said in a tweet Thursday.
“We’ve taken immediate action to ensure alternative 988 channels are available to the public,” Lovenheim tweeted. The outage had been ongoing for several hours Thursday, she said.
The 3-digit telephone number connects callers with a national network of local crisis centers and provides free and confidential support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to anyone experiencing a suicidal crisis or emotional distress.
Intrado, the telecommunications provider for the service, could not immediately be reached for comment. In a statement on its website, the company said it is “experiencing an incident that is impacting production across numerous systems” and is “working diligently to restore service.”

Stocks fell broadly in morning trading on Wall Street Tuesday ahead of a key decision on interest rates by the Federal Reserve.
The S&P 500 index fell 1.3% as of 10:14 a.m. Eastern. More than 95% of stocks and every sector in the benchmark index lost ground as traders wait to see how far the Fed will raise interest rates at its meeting that ends Wednesday.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 393 points, or 1.3%, to 30,629 and the Nasdaq fell 1%.
U.S. crude oil prices fell 2.5% and weighed down energy stocks. Hess fell 2.2%.
Bond yields edged higher. The yield on the 2-year Treasury, which tends to follow expectations for Fed action, rose to 3.97% from 3.95% late Monday and is hovering around its highest levels since 2007.
The 10-year yield, which influences mortgage rates, rose to 3.58% from 3.52% and is trading at its highest levels since 2011.
Stocks have been slumping and Treasury yields rising as the Fed raises the cost of borrowing money in hopes of slowing down the hottest inflation in four decades. The central bank’s aggressive rate hikes have been making markets jittery, especially as Fed officials assert their determination to keep raising rates until they are sure inflation is coming under control.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell bluntly warned in a speech last month that the rate hikes would “bring some pain.”
The Fed is expected to raise its key short-term rate by a substantial three-quarters of a point for the third time at its meeting on Wednesday. That would lift its benchmark rate, which affects many consumer and business loans, to a range of 3% to 3.25%, the highest level in 14 years, and up from zero at the start of the year.
Wall Street is worried that the rate hikes could go too far in slowing economic growth and push the economy into a recession. Those concerns have been heightened by data showing that the U.S. economy is already slowing and by companies warning about the impact of inflation and supply chain problems to their operations.
Ford fell 8.8% after slashing its third-quarter earnings forecast because a parts shortage will leave it with as many as 45,000 vehicles unfinished on its lots when the quarter ends Sept. 30. Last week, FedEx and General Electric warned investors about damage to their operations from inflation.
The U.S. isn’t alone in suffering from hot inflation or dealing with the impact of efforts to fight high prices.
Sweden’s central bank on Tuesday raised its key interest rate by a full percentage point to 1.75%, catching almost everyone off guard as it scrambles to bring down inflation that was measured at 9% in August.
Consumer inflation in Japan jumped in August to 3%, its highest level since November 1991 but well below the 8% plus readings in the U.S. and Europe. The Bank of Japan is set to have a two-day monetary policy meeting later this week, although analysts expect the central bank to stick to its easy monetary policy.
Min Joo Kang, senior economist, South Korea and Japan, at ING Economics noted inflation remained relatively low in Japan. Energy prices were rising, but not as much as in the U.S. or some parts of Europe. Housing prices haven’t risen and household income have remained stagnant.
Rate decisions from Norway, Switzerland and the Bank of England are next.
Markets in Europe were mostly lower, while markets in Asia gained ground.

Oregon officials are investigating after 14 people reportedly died from suspected heat-related illnesses in a week.
The Oregon State Medical Examiner's Office said the official cause of death is still under investigation, the Associated Press reported.
CNN reported the deaths occurred in Multnomah, Umatilla, Marion, and Clackamas Counties.
The most recent death was reported on Saturday, the news outlet reported.
The AP reported that seven suspected heat-related deaths happened in Multnomah County.
Health officials in King County said in a news release that three suspected heat-related deaths occurred between July 26 and 31.
The AP reported that the rising temperatures prompted Portland officials to open emergency overnight shelters and cooling stations.
The National Weather Service issued an excessive heat warning that went into effect across the state last week as temperatures soared well into the 90s and low 100s.
According to climate experts, the Associated Press reported that the Pacific Northwest is dealing with historically rare heat spells, which they suspect are possibly due to fueling climate change.
Last July, a total of 800 people died in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia during a heat wave, the AP reported. | 2022-08-02T21:39:19+00:00 | tmj4.com | https://www.tmj4.com/news/national/oregon-officials-investigating-after-14-suspected-heat-related-deaths-reported |

NEW YORK — No, Jameson Taillon had never done it before. Yes, it would have happened in the most intense moment of the Yankees’ season. And, yes, they were really going to go through with it.
“Oh,” Taillon said, “I was going in.”
The Yankees were planning to use Taillon, who has never pitched in relief, to enter in the ninth inning if Clay Holmes faltered against the Guardians in Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Tuesday night.

It didn’t come to that. Holmes locked it down as Taillon watched and the Yankees nabbed a 4-1 victory.
Still.
“We were willing to try it there,” pitching coach Matt Blake said.
Before the game, Taillon said that he was “not afraid” to enter in the middle of an inning though all of his 143 career appearances over six seasons have been starts.
In the ninth, lefty reliever Wandy Peralta got a groundout to start the inning. Then manager Aaron Boone went to Holmes, who hit Andres Gimenez with his first pitch. But Holmes settled down, getting Will Benson ground out and then No. 9 hitter Myles Straw to fly out to end it.
Blake said that the Yankees were confident in Taillon against the top of the Guardians’ order. Blake mentioned how leadoff man Steven Kwan and No. 2 hitter Amed Rosario aren’t hitters who swing often outside of the strike zone. The pitching coach said that Taillon’s ability to throw strikes against them would have worked in the Yankees favor. Lou Trivino and Miguel Castro each were healthy and also options, Blake said.
Earlier in the day, the Yankees announced that key reliever Scott Effross needed Tommy John surgery that would knock him out for the playoffs and likely for the 2023 season.
Blake said the Yankees wouldn’t have been scared to use Taillon.
“But, ‘What’s this going to look like?’ For sure,” Blake said. “Just put a lot of faith into who he is. He’s really steady and you just know he’s going to control his heart rate and he’s going to be able to throw the ball over the plate. We were willing to take a chance there, and we would bet on the character that he was going to hold his own.”

Here are five more Yankees takeaways:
Donaldson’s home run blunder: The Yankees made sure not to criticize Josh Donaldson for mistaking a single for a home run in the fifth inning. Leading off the frame, Donaldson lifted a fly ball against starting pitcher Cal Quantrill. It soared to the right-field corner. Donaldson acted like it was a home run, jogging slowly to first base and high-fiving first base coach Matt Chapman. But the ball bounced off the top of the wall. Oscar Gonzalez threw it back into the infield, and a confused Donaldson was thrown out by a mile trying to slide back into first base. “It’s a unique one down that line like that,” Boone said. He later added, “I’m glad it didn’t come back to hurt us.” Anthony Rizzo said he “for sure (thought) it was a home run. It was a weird play. It’s the second time it’s happened to him this year.”
Matt Carpenter and the outfield: At Tuesday’s workout, Matt Carpenter (broken left foot) shagged balls in the outfield during live batting practice under the supervision of third base coach/outfield coordinator Luis Rojas. Carpenter told the Yankees he felt OK after it. Boone has said that he’s going to be very cautious about using Carpenter in the outfield, but it seems like Carpenter has given them a green light to use him in a pinch. Carpenter also worked out at first base.
Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s rebound: Kiner-Falefa made an error in the second at-bat of the game, botching a grounder up the middle that would have been a tough play even if he had nabbed it with Rosario’s speed. But the shortstop rebounded to make several nice plays, including a force out and throw on an inning-ending double play against Rosario in the seventh. He also ripped a single to the corner and hustled to third base on an error in the at-bat just after Donaldson’s non-home-run mistake. Kiner-Falefa then scored the go-ahead run on Jose Trevino’s sacrifice fly ball to center field.
Gerrit Cole’s sweet sendoff: After giving up a run over 6 1/3 innings, Cole was treated to loud applause as he walked off the mound. “it was very special for me,” he said. “It was very special. You know, the game’s not over. You’ve got a lot -- I left with traffic (on the bases). So it’s not the most comfortable time to acknowledge the crowd, but I certainly felt it and appreciated it. I thought they were in every pitch tonight, and what a wonderful experience to have them behind us.”
Taxi squad: Several players working out at Double-A Somerset were around for the game, including catcher Rob Brantly, outfielder Estevan Florial, Double-A infielders Jesus Bastidas and Andres Chaparo and reliever Matt Minnick. They’re also staying in Somerset.

NEW YORK — Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin will use the $10 million given to online fundraising campaigns by well-wishers after his on-field collapse to fund his own nonprofit, the Chasing M's Foundation.
The decision, first shared with The Associated Press Monday, begins the 25-year-old's plan for the unprecedented outpouring of support that he received after his heart stopped following a tackle during a "Monday Night Football" game in January.
“We have been very deliberate and intentional about taking our time to set my charity up properly,” Hamlin said in a statement. “I’m excited to begin sharing news about programs we are creating to impact a generation of youth and give back to others.”
That people continue to give weekly, if not daily, to the fundraiser is just one measure of the emotional power and connection that Hamlin has with so many. So far, they've given more than $9 million to a GoFundMe campaign and nearly a million to a second online fundraiser set up by The Giving Back Fund, a nonprofit which helps athletes and celebrities manage their charitable giving, according to Kelley Denny, a spokesperson for Hamlin's charity.
Hamlin’s marketing representative said in January that his family had arranged for The Giving Back Fund to act as a fiscal sponsor for the funds given to GoFundMe, which allowed Hamlin's team to fundraise as a charitable entity. At the time, Hamlin's team said the millions given to the GoFundMe would eventually be transferred to The Giving Back Fund, but they have not been.
Last week, the news outlet Sportico reported on turmoil within The Giving Back Fund in part sparked by the question of whether gifts to Hamlin’s GoFundMe are charitable donations. Marc Pollick, CEO of The Giving Back Fund, disputed the accuracy of Sportico’s reporting in a statement and said the organization’s leadership “has always operated ethically, appropriately, and legally.”
“My charity is not connected to the challenges being faced by the leadership of The Giving Back Fund,” Hamlin said in the statement, adding, “Donors will have full tax-exempt status.”
Hamlin first started Chasing M’s Foundation in May 2020 when he was still a student playing with the University of Pittsburgh and applied last month for retroactive tax-exempt status, according to Denny. It was incorporated as a nonprofit in Pennsylvania.
Experts say the question of whether the donors can claim a tax deduction for what they gave to the GoFundMe after his injury may depend on decisions by the IRS. Philadelphia attorney Don Kramer, who edits the website Nonprofit Issues, said the IRS has the discretion to retroactively recognize Hamlin's nonprofit as tax exempt. That's despite the fact, Kramer said, the cut off for applying for retroactive status is usually 27 months after an organization is founded.
Few donors to Hamlin's GoFundMe will likely have a significant interest in claiming a tax deduction for their gift. Because of changes in the tax law made in 2017, only those who itemize their taxes, around 11% of filers, may claim deductions for charitable contributions.
“I think the public needs to be educated a little bit more on checking whenever they give money and if they really think they’re giving it tax deductible,” said Lisa Delpy Neirotti, director of sport management programs at George Washington University School of Business. She encouraged GoFundMe to distinguish more clearly between fundraisers that are set up by tax exempt organizations and those that are not.
GoFundMe confirmed that they continue to hold the funds given to Hamlin’s campaign and said that fundraisers specify when they benefit charitable organizations.
Records filed with the Pennsylvania Secretary of State show that Hamlin applied on May 1 to update Chasing M’s articles of incorporation, including its mission. Chasing M’s Foundation will support “the aspirations of youth and community members through sports, education” and other activities and “promote health and safety in sports through CPR & AED training.”
Neirotti usually advises athletes to partner with major organizations that are already working on the causes that they care about, instead of starting their own nonprofit. But she said, the windfall of having millions of dollars all at once is unusual.
“With that amount of money, you really could put it into a endowment that will last forever, long beyond his playing days," she said of Hamlin.
Since being released from the hospital, Hamlin has teamed up with the American Heart Association for a campaign to teach a simple version of CPR. He's also met President Joe Biden at the White House and advocated for access to defibrillators in schools with Congressional leaders. In April, Hamlin announced that he wanted to return to playing and has been cleared to practice with the Bills.
Lora Golke, who leads donor engagement at the Arizona Community Foundation, said that many athletes and their families often underestimate the amount of work that it takes to run a nonprofit or foundation and the expertise and knowledge that is required.
“You have to remember, at the same time, he’s an athlete and is supposed to be doing his job. His job is not philanthropy,” Golke said. Her organization started a sport and philanthropy center in order to provide advice to former athletes who settle in the state and to its major teams about how they can make a difference in that community.
In his first public statements posted in a video to social media on Jan. 28, Hamlin thanked those who had given money to the fundraiser but added that, “I know that it isn’t enough just to be thankful. This is just the beginning of the impact that I wanted to have on the world and with God’s guidance I will continue to do wonderful and great things.” | 2023-05-09T13:53:52+00:00 | wfmynews2.com | https://www.wfmynews2.com/article/news/nation-world/damar-hamlin-millions-raised-charity/507-ef0395b0-1b21-4965-8188-c0cebdb86690 |
There have been scores of memoirs and analyses written about the events we call "Watergate," but none captures the early days of that era-defining White House scandal quite like All the President's Men.
Its authors were two Washington Post reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, whose reporting helped a "third-rate burglary" — which took place 50 years ago on June 17, 1972 — become a national obsession.
Both in their 20s at the time, they seized on a suspicious story about a bungled break-in at the Democratic Party headquarters in Washington during the presidential campaign of 1972. Over a matter of weeks, they found themselves following a trail of evidence all the way to some of the most powerful men in the federal government — ultimately including President Richard Nixon.
Nixon would resign in August 1974. Several of his most senior staffers went to prison, many others had their reputations destroyed. Nixon's Republican Party would need the better part of a decade to recover.
In the years thereafter, Woodward and Bernstein became part of the nation's shared memory and the folklore of the period. They also came to personify a sea change in American journalism.
And now, All the President's Men is back. The publisher, Simon & Schuster, has issued a commemorative edition to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the burglary this week (although the original version of the book itself did not appear until two years later).
The new edition is more than an artifact or a prompt for nostalgia. It coincides with the televised hearings of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. And to underscore the connection, the authors have included a fresh, 15-page foreword explicitly linking Nixon and former President Donald Trump.
"As reporters," they write, "we had studied Nixon and written about him for nearly half a century, during which we believed with great conviction that America would never again have a president who would trample the national interest and succeed in undermining democracy through the audacious pursuit of personal and political self-interest. And then along came Trump."
In that statement, Woodward and Bernstein, now in their 70s, sum up what many Americans have found incomprehensible about Trump. Seven presidents had taken the oath since Nixon and each had shown respect for the lessons of Nixon's fall. They knew the moral of the story, the meaning of the cautionary tale that was Watergate. And then along came Trump.
Entering the time warp
Woodward and Bernstein profess amazement that, after half a century, another president came along who was willing to jettison whatever conscience he had, and whatever respect for the rule of law, in an effort to stay in office.
Nixon condoned, and then tried to conceal, an array of covert campaign operations designed to cripple potential opponents in his re-election year. Trump, having lost his re-election bid, decided to insist instead he had won "in a landslide" and to declare the election "rigged" or "stolen." Beyond these pronouncements, he engaged in a series of apparently illegal acts — urging elected and appointed officials to break the law or rewrite the Constitution — to overturn the election results and remain in office.
Woodward and Bernstein perceive a personality pattern in these presidents, noting that both Nixon and Trump "had been outsiders, given to paranoia, relentless in their ambition, carrying chips on their shoulders."
But going beyond such characteristics in common, Woodward and Bernstein write that Nixon and Trump "created a conspiratorial world in which the U.S. Constitution, laws and fragile democratic traditions were to be manipulated or ignored, political opponents and the media were 'enemies,' and there were few or no restraints on the powers entrusted to these two presidents."
The foreword also includes an anecdote about Woodward sitting down with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in December of 2019, 12 days after Trump's first impeachment by the U.S. House. Rather than discuss the articles of impeachment, Trump shows his guest a video of his 2019 State of the Union address, dwelling on the TV "reaction shots" of various prominent Democrats. "Hate! They hate me! See the hate!" Trump shouts, inches from Woodward's ear.
The emphasis on the word hate also prompts the authors to recall Nixon's famous valedictory on the day he resigned: "Always remember, others may hate you — but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself." The authors call this "a blinding moment of self-understanding."
Controversies and myths
As long as they have been household names, Woodward and Bernstein have had their critics and controversies. Was their work for The Washington Post actually responsible for Nixon's disgrace? And did their Watergate stories change the course and character of American journalism?
The publicity for the new edition of All the President's Men includes several hyperbolic blurbs of the kind one associates with movie ads. One from Time magazine hails "the work that brought down a presidency...perhaps the most influential piece of journalism in history." A quote from a former managing editor of The New York Times reads: "Maybe the single greatest reporting effort of all time."
This sort of hagiography has always made the authors themselves uncomfortable. W. Joseph Campbell, a communications professor at American University (and a former newspaper reporter) has disputed the importance of the Post in the Watergate saga. In his 2010 book, Getting It Wrong: Debunking the Greatest Myths in American Journalism, Campbell credits Woodward and Bernstein for their work in the critical weeks and months when few others were focusing on it.
But in the end, he argues, Nixon's edifice was dismantled by intrepid public servants in all three branches of government who did their jobs and held him accountable. Woodward has made much the same point in interviews and appearances over the years.
He and Bernstein also acknowledge this on the second page of the new foreword: "Nixon's illegal conduct was gradually exposed by the news media, the Senate Watergate Committee, special prosecutors, a House impeachment investigation, and finally by the Supreme Court."
What most deserves respect in All the President's Men is the reporters' gritty and painstaking process. They had little to go on, many doubters and an imposing wall of resistance to overcome. The message is that great journalism takes time and patience, frequent self-examination and perhaps even admissions of error along the way.
The point is to persist and to penetrate and ultimately to expose. In the end, the countless phone calls that yield nothing lead to the contacts that produce the story. Tiny brush strokes fill the canvas until a portrait emerges.
How much did they change journalism?
Turning to the impact of Woodward and Bernstein on their profession, generations of journalists have been admonished to emulate their best traits — to be dogged, fearless and so on. Surely they elevated the aspirations of the craft, giving a generation of reporters a model for taking on all kinds of powerful institutions and individuals.
But there has also been a long-running critique of their reliance on unnamed sources, which some say has helped to erode the public's faith in the news media in general and political journalism in particular.
Woodward has written a shelf's worth of best sellers (21 and counting). Bernstein has added six books and been a featured contributor on CNN. Both have relied on sources they do not always name or identify. And for better or worse, that practice has become far more common and acceptable in legacy media; unnamed sources are far more acceptable in far more media outlets today than they were before Watergate.
There is no question this has allowed many more stories to be told, but also no question it is often cited by survey respondents who say they have "lost faith" or lessened faith in the news media as a result.
Are the advantages of allowing at least some unnamed sources concrete enough to justify the loss of some confidence in some portions of the audience?
It is a judgment that news organizations and their audiences ultimately make for themselves. But we can expect Woodward and Bernstein to be cited in the arguments pro and con for some time to come.
Speaking as one who applied to journalism school in year All the President's Men was first published, it is hard to imagine the intervening decades without it — or without the institution of "Woodward and Bernstein."

PITTSBURGH – The man charged in the deadliest attack on Jewish people in U.S. history has lost another bid to get the death penalty removed as a possible punishment.
With jury selection underway at the federal trial of Robert Bowers, a judge ruled Tuesday against a defense motion that challenged the government's pursuit of the death penalty.
U.S. District Judge Robert Colville said in his decision that Bowers' defense team “fails entirely to establish a basis upon which the court could conclude that the government has arbitrarily sought the death penalty in this case.”
Bowers, of the Pittsburgh suburb of Baldwin, is charged with 63 criminal counts in the killings of 11 worshippers on Oct. 27, 2018, at the Tree of Life synagogue building where three congregations had gathered. The charges include 11 counts of obstruction of free exercise of religion resulting in death and 11 counts of hate crimes resulting in death.
Prosecutors say Bowers made antisemitic comments at the scene of the attacks and in earlier online forums.
More than 100 potential jurors have been questioned by prosecutors and the defense through the first seven days of jury selection, with a heavy focus on their views on a potential death sentence. The process was set to resume Wednesday.
Bowers’ attorneys already offered a guilty plea in return for a life sentence without parole, but prosecutors refused and are seeking the death penalty, a move most of the victims’ families support. Most of the juror questioning by Bowers’ attorneys has focused on jurors’ views on the death penalty.
In a legal filing last month, Bowers' lawyers argued the Justice Department lacks “a discernible, principled basis" for seeking death against Bowers but not for defendants in comparable cases. The defense also objected to the procedure by which the government considered Bowers' request to reconsider its pursuit of capital punishment.
Colville agreed with the Justice Department's argument that Bowers failed to account for the differences between his case and the other cases for which the government did not seek the death penalty.
The synagogue massacre case has already spanned two presidencies.
Republican President Donald Trump, who was in office at the time, declared the killer should “suffer the ultimate price” and that the death penalty should be brought back “into vogue.” Federal executions resumed during Trump’s presidency after a 17-year hiatus, and 13 federal inmates were put to death during his last six months in office.
Democrat Joe Biden indicated during the 2020 campaign he would work to end the federal death penalty, but critics say he has done nothing to make that happen. He has put in place a moratorium in order to study current policies and procedures. However, that has not prevented his federal prosecutors from pursuing a death sentence for Bowers. | 2023-05-03T13:57:49+00:00 | ksat.com | https://www.ksat.com/news/politics/2023/05/03/judge-synagogue-massacre-suspect-can-face-death-penalty/ |
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Turkey's president visited the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday to pay respects to the federation's late ruler and congratulate his successor, deepening a rapprochement between the countries after a bitter rivalry in the wake of the 2011 Arab uprisings.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan praised Abu Dhabi's ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on his elevation to power after nearly a decade as de facto leader. From a gleaming reception hall at Abu Dhabi airport, he offered condolences on the death of the long-ailing late President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Turkish government said.
In a scene unthinkable just a decade ago as ties between the countries frayed over Turkey's support for Islamist groups around the Middle East, Erdogan pulled Sheikh Mohammed in for a big hug.
Erdogan's trip on Tuesday marks his second to the UAE this year as Turkey, diplomatically isolated and in desperate need of foreign currency and investment, seeks to mend fences with old foes — including most recently with Saudi Arabia.
Since the coronavirus pandemic and American pullback from the region, the UAE similarly has shifted its foreign policy, seeking detentes with rivals as bloody wars it helped fuel in Yemen and Libya hit a deadlock and Iran races ahead with its nuclear program.
During Sheikh Mohammed's visit to Ankara last fall, the UAE pledged $10 billion to push investment into Turkey. Ahead of Erdogan's first state visit to the UAE in nine years in February, the countries agreed to a currency swap equivalent to nearly $5 billion. Trade volumes surged over 54% last year compared to 2020.
It's a stark turnaround from the aftermath of the 2011 popular uprisings. Gulf Arab states seethed at Turkey's embrace of the Muslim Brotherhood, which they consider a terrorist group. Turkey and the UAE competed for influence across the region, backing opposing sides in Libya's civil war and in a Saudi-led boycott of Qatar.
Erdogan was just the latest dignitary to jet to oil-rich Abu Dhabi to pay his respects. In a dramatic display of the UAE's influence abroad, an extraordinary array of presidents, prime ministers and princes has descended on the sheikhdom over the past few days to offer tribute and praise the succession. | 2022-05-17T18:07:21+00:00 | sfgate.com | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Turkish-president-in-UAE-to-pay-respects-17178922.php |

What you need to create a beautiful fall dining space
When you are spending hot days enjoying the sunshine, it may not seem like fall is right around the corner. However, temperatures will drop and the leaves will start to turn before you know it.
Depending on where you live, the change in season means breaking out a new wardrobe and changing the decor around your house. If you like to decorate and enjoy a festive table, there are many ways to get your dining area fit for fall entertaining.
Ideas to consider when purchasing fall table decor
Fall details
While a centerpiece can make table decor pop, coasters, napkin holders, glasses and fall-themed dishes can help bring everything together.
A simple fruit bowl can be a great starting point for fall decor. Artificial apples, pumpkins or pinecones help create a seasonal atmosphere, and they are long-lasting, so you don’t have to worry about your centerpiece dying. If you’d like a floral centerpiece, fall flowers or fake baby’s breath can look great on any table.
Candles are a nice touch any time of year, and pumpkin-scented candles capture the spirit of the season. Flameless candles are a great choice if you don’t want an open flame, especially if you have pets or kids running around.
Holiday themes
For a simple fall theme, plan your decor around the fall holidays, Halloween and Thanksgiving. Halloween decor can be an especially fun choice if you have a house full of kids who will get into the spooky spirit of the season. Investing in Halloween decor that can be used year after year will help make decorating easy.
If you’d like to have a more minimalist scheme, consider sticking to solid colors when picking out tablecloths, plates and napkins. Choosing holiday colors, like black and orange, can create an understated, yet festive feel.
When November hits, Thanksgiving decorations become more popular. Choosing earthtone decorations in colors like brown, red and orange will capture the traditional Thanksgiving feel. These decorations fill the time between Halloween and Christmas, and they keep the house festive all season.
Accessorize the rest of your house
Once you get your table looking the way you want it, you can turn your attention to the rest of your house. Fall signs and wreath sets can liven up your wall or front door, while fall-themed pillows and blankets for the couch add flair to the rest of the house.

Rasmus and Nicolai Hojgaard become first twins to compete at The Open
3 Min Read
The brothers hope the Ryder Cup is next
Written by The Associated Press
HOYLAKE, England - A couple of kids had just gotten the autographs of Nicolai and Rasmus Hojgaard beside the 18th tee at Royal Liverpool when they looked at each.
“Who is who?” one said of the first set of twins to play at The Open.
The other shrugged his shoulders and laughed.
Ask Nicolai, and he says he has a slightly thinner face than his brother. He has shorter hair at the moment, too.
Otherwise, there’s barely anything to distinguish the 22-year-old Danes.
Their trajectory in golf isn’t dissimilar, either.
They both turned professional in 2019 and were soon winners on the DP World Tour. They even won on consecutive weeks in August-September 2021, another first on the tour for a pair of brothers.
Now they are sharing the same stage in the major championships. And it was quite the sight Wednesday as they walked side by side down the 18th fairway as the sun peeked out from behind the clouds, both with their right hands in their pockets and their parents -- Ole and Tina -- just behind.
“It’s special,” Nicolai said after finishing his last practice round before The Open starts, “but it’s one thing to play together and another to compete.
“We are good enough to compete and that’s our goal -- we will do our best this year and come back the next years and try to do our best. It’s cool to be the first twins here but it would be even cooler if we did something on the golf course as well.”
Rasmus is ranked No. 84 and has four wins, all on the DP World Tour and with the most recent coming on home soil at the Made in HimmerLand event this month. Nicolai was there in Farso for the one of the most heartwarming moments of the season and among the first to congratulate his brother next to the 18th green.
“When we were younger, we were fighting,” said Nicolai, who is ranked No. 106 and splits his time between the PGA TOUR and the DP World Tour. “Now we can cheer for each other like you saw in Denmark.
“I was out there celebrating with Ras and he has done the same for me. We are trying to win every time against each other when we play but at the same time we cheer each other on if one of us performs really well.”
They call each other best friends as well as brothers and they had some fun Wednesday, especially when they lined up next to each other and attempted a series of shots out of a deep greenside bunker on the par-3 17th.
“We had a little game going on, which was fun for a bit of tension,” Nicolai said.
They had different paths to qualifying for The Open, with Rasmus knowing for a while he was in the field -- as a top-30 finisher in last year’s Race to Dubai -- and Nicolai only securing his spot with a top-10 finish in the Genesis Scottish Open on Sunday.

They also were both in the field for this year’s PGA Championship -- Nicolai tied for 50th and Rasmus missed the cut -- but the ultimate goal is to play together in the Ryder Cup.
“If it happens this year or it happens next time, it doesn’t matter,” Nicolai said. “I think it will happen at some point. We’re not trying to chase it too much. We’re doing our work and hopefully good golf takes care of most things.”
When The Open was last held at Hoylake -- in 2014 -- Italian brothers Edoardo and Francesco Molinari both finished in the top 15. | 2023-07-21T01:57:12+00:00 | pgatour.com | https://www.pgatour.com/article/news/latest/2023/07/19/rasmus-and-nicolai-hojgaard-become-first-twins-to-compete-at-the-open-royal-liverpool |
Southern Baptists refuse to take back megachurch because it has women pastors
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Southern Baptist Convention has refused to welcome Saddleback Church back into its fold, rejecting an appeal by the California megachurch over its February ouster for having women pastors.
Southern Baptist church representatives at their annual meeting here also rejected a similar appeal by a smaller church, Fern Creek Baptist of Louisville, Kentucky, which is led by a woman pastor.
The results of the Tuesday votes were announced Wednesday morning on the concluding day of the the two-day annual meeting here of the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, whose statement of faith asserts that only qualified men can serve as pastors.
The convention hall packed with about 12,000 Southern Baptists was quiet after the announcement, appearing to have listened to the earlier urging by SBC President Bart Barber for them to show restraint.
“I know sometimes there are churches where people wind up in biblical divorce,” he said. “But we don’t throw divorce parties at church. And whatever these results are, I’m asking you, behave like Christians.”
Saddleback had been the denomination’s second-largest congregation and until recently was widely touted as a success story amid larger Southern Baptist membership declines.
With the 9,437-1,212 vote, delegates rejected an appeal by Rick Warren, the retired founding pastor of Saddleback and author of the best-selling phenomenon, “The Purpose Driven Life.” Warren had urged Baptists to agree to disagree “in order to share a common mission.”
“Messengers voted for conformity and uniformity rather than unity. The only way you will have unity is to love diversity. We made this effort knowing we were not going to win,” Warren said at a news conference after the results were announced.
Church representatives also voted 9,700-806 to deny an appeal by a smaller congregation, Fern Creek Baptist Church of Louisville, Kentucky, which has had a woman pastor for three decades but came under heightened scrutiny this year.
Warren and the Rev. Linda Barnes Popham, pastor of Fern Creek, made their final appeals to Southern Baptists here on Tuesday during the denomination’s annual meeting.
Warren has been a lifelong Southern Baptist, and the church he founded being removed from the denomination was something he might have never expected even though he has pushed the boundaries for several years now, said Scott Thumma, a sociology of religion professor and director of the Hartford Institute for Religion Research.
“It’s pretty clear (from his speech Tuesday) that Warren did not think the SBC was going to reinstate Saddleback,” he said. “But, he’s had a platform to say what being Baptist means, what the Scripture says about women in ministry, that Southern Baptists are under a big tent and what is means to exclude any congregation. This is all probably more symbolic.”
Following the vote results, Warren issued a critique of the direction of the SBC that contributed to Saddleback’s ejection.
“There are people who want to take the SBC back to the 1950s when white men ruled supreme and when the woman’s place was in the home. There are others who want to take it back 500 years to the time of the Reformation,” he said. “I say we need to take the church back to the first century. The church at its birth was the church at its best.”
In February, the Southern Baptist Convention’s Executive Committee voted to oust the two congregations, along with three others that chose not to appeal, for having women pastors.
All Baptist churches are independent, so the convention can’t tell them what to do, but it can decide which churches are “not in friendly cooperation,” the official verbiage for an expulsion. The SBC’s official statement of faith says the office of pastor is reserved for qualified men, but this is believed to be the first time the convention has expelled any churches over it.

WASHINGTON, DC — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed long-awaited nationwide rules which would drop allowable levels of toxic “forever chemicals” known as PFAS in drinking water to trace amounts.
As proposed, the new rules would require utilities to treat drinking water if the individual chemicals PFOS and PFOA are measured above 4 parts-per-trillion (ppt) or a mixture of four other PFAS chemicals exceeds a calculated threshold.
Activists celebrated the proposed limits as a milestone in the fight to protect public health. Water providers were less enthusiastic, warning that the proposed limits will be expensive to comply with and may force rate hikes in some communities.
The EPA announced the rules Tuesday, March 14.
“EPA’s proposal to establish a national standard for PFAS in drinking water is informed by the best available science and would help provide states with the guidance they need to make decisions that best protect their communities,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan, who made the announcement in Wilmington, North Carolina.
The EPA said it anticipates finalizing the proposed limits by the end of 2023. Public comment is opening on the proposal, which comes about a week after the new limits cleared a review by the White House Office of Management and Budget.
Under the proposal, public water systems must monitor for all six individual PFAS compounds. If testing shows detections above the limits, they must notify the public and take steps to reduce the contaminant levels in treated, finished water.
In addition to the 4-ppt limits on PFOS and PFOA, the chemicals PFHXS, PFNA, PFBS, and HFPO-DA (commonly known as GenX) would not be allowed to exceed a low, 1.0 “hazard index” calculation based on their cumulative mixture amounts in water samples.
The proposed regulation is more stringent than any comparative standards set by any U.S. state, including Michigan. It represents the first proposed enforceable national standard for a contaminant in drinking water in decades.
The EPA says the regulations, over time, will “prevent thousands of deaths and reduce tens of thousands of serious PFAS-attributable illnesses.”
The limits, known as Maximum Contaminant Levels, or MCLs, follow new advisory levels issued last year which allow for virtually zero exposure in drinking water due to updated studies which indicate the chemicals pose a greater danger to human health than previously thought.
The 2022 advisories — which are set at the parts-per-quadrillion level, an order of magnitude below the new MCLs — prompted concern among water providers worried about the prospect of treating water to contaminant levels below which lab equipment can reliably measure.
The formal standards proposed this week are set higher than last year’s advisory levels because the EPA must consider the economic feasibility of compliance with its rules.
Nationally, it could cost roughly $38 billion to remove enough PFAS to meet a strict EPA rule limiting them to where they can’t be detected, according to an estimate prepared by engineering consultant Black & Veatch for the American Water Works Association (AWWA), an industry group. There also will be ongoing costs for filter material and testing.
The consultant study estimated that 4% to 12% of water providers nationally would need to treat for PFAS, according to the Associated Press.
The EPA estimated the annual cost for compliance at $772 million collectively among water providers across the nation, compared against a broader economic benefit of $1.2 billion.
The agency says it will work to help smaller utilities, particularly in poor or rural communities, comply with the new rules using money from the new infrastructure law.
In Michigan, water utilities are ahead of the curve on both testing and compliance due to the passage of state specific MCLs in August 2020, according to water industry leaders. Those rules remain in place after surviving a legal challenge from chemical manufacturer 3M in state court last year.
“We all have a benchmark,” said Bonnifer Ballard, director of the Michigan AWWA chapter. “There are a lot of states that have no idea what they are getting into. Love it or not, in Michigan we’ve done the work. We know where the baseline is and where we need to go.”
Michigan regulates seven PFAS compounds in drinking water: PFNA (6-ppt); PFOA (8-ppt); PFOS (16-ppt); PFHxS (51-ppt); GenX (370-ppt); PFBS (420-ppt); PFHxA (400,000-ppt).
For the past three years, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE) has been collecting PFAS test results from utilities on a monthly-to-quarterly basis and developing treatment plans for systems with elevated detections.
In a statement, EGLE said it “welcomes” the proposal “as a step toward a more unified and consistent approach to addressing PFAS compounds nationwide.”
EGLE is reviewing EPA’s numbers and methodology to help inform the ongoing evaluation of Michigan’s current and future standards, said EGLE spokesperson Hugh McDiarmid.
“It is too soon to say at this point what this means for Michigan’s standards, but the state is closely watching federal action around PFAS and will monitor the proposed EPA standards as they navigate the rule-making and final approval process,” McDiarmid said.
With a federal standard lower than Michigan’s limits on PFOS and PFOA, the “differences will have to be recognized and processes will have to change,” said Ballard.
“Systems will work to comply,” Ballard said. “There are definitely going to be some systems which have more challenges doing that than others.”
In Kalamazoo, a large groundwater-based system which serves 190,000 people in several communities, compliance with state MCLs has already resulted in the decommissioning of two water pump stations due to PFAS detections and the construction of enhanced treatment at a new station.
James Baker, Kalamazoo public services director, said a new well station off East Michigan Ave. is being constructed with multi-step treatment to filter iron and manganese from raw water before it’s put through granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration and ion exchange to remove PFAS compounds that threaten the aquifer where the station sources its water.
The new pump station, No. 5, is near a known contamination site along the Kalamazoo River and is estimated to cost between $15 million and $20 million when finished, Baker said.
Iron and manganese must be removed from the water before it goes into PFAS treatment or the minerals will clog the PFAS filters, Baker said.
Kalamazoo uses a decentralized system of well stations; some of which feature individual treatment that feeds finished water directly into the distribution system. Some stations are more than 100 years old. Kalamazoo has 13 operational stations and installing full-scale PFAS treatment on each could cost upwards of $200 million, Baker said.
“Public utilities are supported by ratepayers and, ultimately, this may become a ratepayer expense,” Baker said. “We hope to understand what some of the federal (funding) opportunities might be and whether we can apply those here in Kalamazoo.”
Nationally, water industry consultants characterized the EPA move as an effort by the Biden administration to tackle an “easy target” when it comes to reducing PFAS exposure as opposed to targeting exposure through food, clothing, cosmetics and carpet.
“We’re not defending the pollution — it shouldn’t be there. But we’re left to deal with this,” said Mike McGill, who runs the water communications firm WaterPIO.
“The polluters are not lining up to write those checks.”
The American Chemistry Council, a trade group representing chemical manufacturers which has fought attempts to regulate PFAS, criticized the proposed rules.
“We have serious concerns with the underlying science used to develop these proposed MCLs and have previously challenged the EPA based on the process used to develop that science,” the ACC said in a statement.
On the activism front, the EPA move was lauded by environmental groups and elected officials who have pushed for more stringent regulations on the chemicals. Democrats from Michigan such as Sen. Gary Peters, and U.S. Reps. Dan Kildee and Debbie Dingell issued statements applauding the proposal, as did groups like the Sierra Club and Natural Resources Defense Council and The National Ground Water Association.
“Today’s announcement by the EPA is historic progress,” said Scott Faber, a vice president at the Environmental Working Group (EWG). “More than 200 million Americans could have PFAS in their tap water. Americans have been drinking contaminated water for decades. This proposal is a critical step toward getting these toxic poisons out of our water.”
Tony Spaniola, a metro Detroit attorney who co-chairs the Great Lakes PFAS Action Network, called the new limits “an important milestone in the fight to protect public health” that will “save lives in impacted communities on the front lines of the PFAS crisis.”
“This is an A+ decision by the Biden Administration for front line communities,” Spaniola said. “We urge that the proposed drinking water standards be adopted and implemented with all deliberate speed.”

Michigan's Roman Wilson has touchdown overturned in call that stuns social media
After struggling to get going in the first quarter, the Michigan Wolverines in their College Football Playoff semifinal matchup against TCU finally got the play they needed — until officials overturned it in a ruling that stunned social media.
Officials called back a 51-yard touchdown pass from J.J. McCarthy to Roman Wilson in the second quarter of the Fiesta Bowl, saying that Wilson was down at the 1-yard-line after receiving the throw. However, it appears that Wilson bobbled the ball until crossing the goal line, only gaining control of the ball when it was across the goal line.
Live updates: Michigan vs. TCU
While replays do not show Wilson definitively scoring a touchdown, they also do not show Wilson definitively not getting into the end zone. Officials did not offer an explanation for why Wilson's touchdown was ruled back, and on the very next play, Michigan (13-0) gave the ball to Kalel Mullings, who fumbled a handoff to give TCU (12-1) the ball at their own 20 and keep the Wolverines' deficit 14-3.
Twitter users were mystified as to why the call was overturned.

Mitsubishi adds a plug-in version of the popular Outlander crossover SUV for the 2023 model year, while it keeps changes small to the rest of its compact lineup.
Despite a down year across the industry, the Mitsubishi Outlander three-row SUV continues to break sales records for the small but once esteemed import brand that launched in the U.S. in 1981.
The subcompact Mirage and Outlander Sport small crossover get minor updates for 2023 to try and stave off a sales slump, but even with record-high new car prices the brand’s budget vehicles aren’t carrying the same weight as in years past.
Mitsubishi will inject some life across the lineup by honoring its rally car roots with limited edition Ralliart models launching early in 2023. All five models except for the Mirage G4 sedan will sport rally-inspired body graphics and white paint with a contrasting black roof.
Here’s what else is popping for Mitsubishi in 2023.
2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV
– The plug-in hybrid variant of the seven-seat SUV gets redesigned to follow in the footsteps of the Outlander gas model. Redesigned for 2022, the value-oriented Outlander remains as one of the only affordable three-row SUVs with a plug.
– Riding on a gas platform shared with the Nissan Rogue, the 2023 Outlander PHEV employs a larger 20-kwh battery pack that gets an estimated 54 miles of electric range on the generous WLTP global emissions testing protocol (EPA estimates would peg it at about 47 miles). That nearly doubles the outgoing model’s electric range. Mitsubishi also claims it will have a larger gas tank.
– A dual-motor all-wheel-drive system comes standard but pricing and specs won’t be announced until September.
– Redesigned last year, the Outlander three-row SUV adds a 40th Anniversary limited edition model, as well as ES, SE, and SEL trims.
– Base SE models now get power-folding side mirrors.
– A black roof option can be ordered from the factory.
– AWD comes standard on every grade.
– New 18-inch wheel designs, and new headlight and fog light designs.
– Starting price of $26,840, including a $1,345 destination fee.
2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
– AWD comes standard on every grade.
– Otherwise, the small crossover carries over.
2023 Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback and Mirage G4 sedan
– The efficient but coarse budget car ditches the 5-speed manual option for a CVT across the board.
– Prices increase to $17,290 for the Mirage hatch and $18,290 for the Mirage G4, including a destination fee of $1,045. That’s an increase of $250 from the 2022 Mirage ES with a CVT.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Bills safety Damar Hamlin, who is still recovering after going into cardiac arrest on the field in Cincinnati two weeks ago, cheered via Twitter from home Sunday during Buffalo’s wild-card playoff home game against the Miami Dolphins.
“My heart is with my guys as they compete today!” Hamlin tweeted less than hour before kickoff.
“Supporting from home as I focus on my recovery. Nothing I want more than to be out there with them!” Hamlin posted, along with a video of himself greeting fans during the Bills’ last game against Miami, which was on Dec. 17.
A person with direct knowledge of the player’s schedule had told The Associated Press on Sunday that Hamlin planned to attend the game in person. He later said those “plans may have changed.”
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because Hamlin has kept his schedule and recovery private since being released from a Buffalo hospital on Wednesday.
Hamlin visited teammates at the Bills’ stadium on Saturday but has not been seen in public since being rushed off the field in Cincinnati in an ambulance on Jan. 2. He spent more than a week in the hospital, much of the time in critical condition.
His occasional tweets during the game Sunday included a first-half shoutout to his replacement, Dean Marlowe, after he intercepted a pass from Miami quarterback Skylar Thompson.
Charged up fans were eager to blunt the memory of Hamlin’s collapse, when the 24-year-old from the Pittsburgh exurb of McKees Rocks stood up after making a tackle against the Bengals, then fell backwards, landing motionless on the turf at Paycor Stadium.

Russia prepares to annex occupied Ukraine despite outcry
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia is poised to formally annex areas of Ukraine where it has military control after referendums there reportedly endorsed Moscow’s rule.
But the ballots were widely discredited and earned the Kremlin no relief Wednesday from international pressure over its assault on its neighbor.
Pro-Moscow administrations of all four occupied regions of southern and eastern Ukraine said Tuesday night that their residents voted to join Russia in five days of Kremlin-orchestrated balloting.
According to Russia-installed election officials, 93% of the ballots cast in the Zaporizhzhia region supported annexation, as did 87% in the Kherson region, 98% in the Luhansk region and 99% in Donetsk.
Russian-installed officials in those occupied regions said Wednesday they would ask President Vladimir Putin to incorporate them into Russia. It wasn’t immediately clear how the administrative process would unfold.
Western countries, however, dismissed the ballots as a meaningless pretense staged by Moscow in an attempt to legitimize its invasion of Ukraine launched on Feb. 24.
The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, said late Tuesday that Washington would propose a U.N. Security Council resolution to condemn Russia’s “sham” vote.
The resolution would also urge member states not to recognize any altered status of Ukraine and demand that Russia withdraws its troops from its neighbor, she tweeted.
The European Union’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, also weighed in on the ballots, on Wednesday calling them “illegal” and describing the results as “falsified.”
“This is another violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty (and) territorial integrity, (amid) systematic abuses of human rights,” Borrell tweeted.
In Kyiv, Ukraine’s foreign ministry blasted the ballots as “a propaganda show” and “null and worthless.”
“Forcing people in these territories to fill out some papers at the barrel of a gun is yet another Russian crime in the course of its aggression against Ukraine,” a foreign ministry statement said.
It asked the EU, NATO and the Group of Seven major industrial nations to “immediately and significantly” step up pressure on Russia through new sanctions, and significantly increase their military aid to Ukraine.
The EU also expressed outrage over the suspected sabotage Tuesday of two underwater natural gas pipelines from Russia to Germany and warned of retaliation for any attack on Europe’s energy networks.
Borrell said Wednesday that “all available information indicates those leaks are the result of a deliberate act,” even though the perpetrators haven’t so far been identified.
“Any deliberate disruption of European energy infrastructure is utterly unacceptable and will be met with a robust and united response,” Borrell said in a statement on behalf of the EU’s 27 member countries.
The war in Ukraine has brought an energy standoff between the EU, many of whose members have for years relied heavily on Russian natural gas supplies, and Moscow.
The damage makes it unlikely the pipelines will be able to supply any gas to Europe this winter, according to analysts.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s military and a Washington-based think tank said Wednesday that Russia is sending troops without any training to the front line.
Moscow has struggled to hold the line against Ukraine’s recent counteroffensive and has ordered a partial mobilization to replenish its ranks. The effort is causing unrest, however, amid a reluctant public.
In a daily briefing, the Ukraine military’s general staff said 1st Tank Regiment of the 2nd Motorized Rifle Division of Russia’s 1st Tank Army has received untrained new troops.
The Ukrainian military also said prison convicts are arriving in Ukraine to reinforce the Russian lines. It offered no evidence to support the claim, though the Ukrainian security services have released audio of allegedly monitored Russian phone conversations on the issue.
The Institute for the Study of War think tank cited one online video by a man who identified himself as a member of the 1st Tank Regiment, visibly upset, saying that he and his colleagues wouldn’t receive training before shipping out to the Russian-occupied region of Kherson in Ukraine.
“Mobilized men with a day or two of training are unlikely to meaningfully reinforce Russian positions affected by Ukrainian counteroffensives in the south and east,” the institute said.
The U.K. ministry of defense said Ukraine’s counteroffensive, which has inflicted some humiliating defeats on Moscow’s forces, is advancing slowly.
It said Russia is currently putting up a stouter defense.
In the eastern Ukrainian region of Donetsk, which is partially occupied by Moscow, Russian fire killed five people and wounded 10 others over the last 24 hours, said Pavlo Kyrylenko, the head of the local military authority.
Authorities in the southern Ukrainian city of Nikopol said Russian rockets and artillery pounded the city overnight.
The city, across the Dnipro River from Russian-occupied territory, saw 10 high-rises and private buildings hit, as well as a school, power lines and other areas, said Valentyn Reznichenko, the head of the local military administration, said.

Thank you for the article “On Boston Common, demonstrators call for justice and freedom in Iran” by John Hilliard (Metro, Sept. 25). As members of a global community, we all have a stake in Iran’s uprising against the Iranian fascist theocracy, which has been in place since 1979. In addition to continuing coverage of local events in the Boston area, we also need more coverage of the uprising itself. Especially in the context of Iran’s Internet restrictions, please remember the role of the Fourth Estate and journalism’s explicit capacity of advocacy and implicit ability to frame political issues. Countless deaths of Iranian people may go unreported if the rest of the world is not carefully watching.

California teen’s body found in reservoir
August 22, 2022 - 3:48 pm
TRUCKEE, Calif. — A body found in a Northern California reservoir is believed to be that of 16-year-old Kiely Rodni, who went missing weeks ago after attending a large party at a Sierra Nevada campground, authorities said Monday.
Nevada County Sheriff Shannan Moon told a press conference that the body had not been identified yet but “we believe it is our missing person.” The body was found when the teen’s submerged car was located, but officials offered no theory of how it ended up in the water.
Rodni’s family thanked the searchers for their help in a statement Monday and said they would be grieving privately.
“While we accept this sadness cast under death’s shadow, the rising sun shines light upon us, reminding us not to mourn our loss, but to celebrate Kiely’s spirit and the gift that we all received in knowing her,” the Rodni-Nieman family wrote in the statement. “Kiely will surely remain with us even though we will not get her back.”
Divers search for teen
Volunteer divers with a sonar-equipped group called Adventures with Purpose said they found Kiely Rodni of Truckee on Sunday inside her car, which they said came to rest upside down under about 14 feet of water in Prosser Reservoir, about 55 feet offshore.
Adventures with Purpose search members Doug Bishop and Nick Rinn briefly described the search in a Facebook livestream Monday morning. Rinn said they were limited in the scope of details they could release. The Oregon-based group says it has solved more than 20 missing persons cases using sonar and search-and-rescue techniques for its dive team.
Bishop said they put two sonar boats in the water at 10:40 a.m. and by 11:15 a.m. Rinn detected an object with sonar technology. Bishop said he was able to confirm it was a vehicle. Rinn put on his gear and conducted the dive to examine the car.
“Once we confirmed it was indeed Kiely’s vehicle we immediately notified family, law enforcement and (the teen’s) dad and grandpa were on scene within minutes,” Bishop said.
Ann Riordan, a longtime Truckee resident and family friend, said she had been holding out hope and joined in the search every day she wasn’t working.
“It’s probably one of the worst things that’s happened in this community in the 45 years I’ve lived here,” she said.
Nevada County sheriff’s Capt. Sam Brown said the law enforcement task force now needs to determine how and why Adventures with Purpose divers found Rodni’s body despite searches in the area by the task force. He said it was not yet clear whether the volunteer group had better equipment or advanced training — or both — that the sheriffs’ offices and other agencies may not have.
Brown also noted among changed conditions the reservoir’s water level has dropped as much as 4 feet since Aug. 6.
“In hindsight, everything looks 20/20,” Brown said. “The reality is, it’s not that simple. It is pretty complex and it’s tough.”
Brown did not say whether police believe she drove into the lake or could have been a victim of foul play. An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday.
The area has curvy roads, and photos of the area where the car was pulled out of the reservoir show a wide expanse of bare shoreline that appears to gradually slope toward the water.
Last seen near campground
Rodni was last seen alive Aug. 6 near the Prosser Family Campground in Truckee, attending a party with hundreds of young people, authorities have said. The campground is at the reservoir in the Sierra Nevada, about 165 miles northeast of San Francisco.
Her friend, Sami Smith was at the party with her and said Rodni had been planning to spend the night at the campground.
“I know that she wasn’t in the right mindset or state to drive. And if she were to have driven, she wouldn’t have made it far,” Smith told KOVR-TV.
Friends and family feared she had been kidnapped. Her phone had been out of service since the party, and her 2013 silver Honda CR-V had not been found.
Marine units from three local sheriff’s offices searched the reservoir. The search grew to a wide area of California and Nevada and involved at least 16 local, state and federal enforcement agencies.
Shane Weinreis, president and dive officer of Montana-based U.S. Water Rescue Dive Team, said such searches are akin to looking for a needle in a haystack.
“It’s not uncommon for agencies and teams to do a search and not find anything and then another team comes in and does find something,” he said.
Rodni’s car probably traveled 75 feet (22.8 meters) from the shoreline on the day it went into the reservoir -– a long distance for divers to cover initially, Weinreis said.
But as the water level dropped several feet the shoreline expanded, meaning the distance in the water to the car, decreased to a more reasonable distance.
“If divers were searching from the shore, it would have been easier for them to be searching now versus when they first started,” he said.
Dozens of family and friends also searched and offered a $50,000 reward. Authorities did not know Monday if Adventures with Purpose would receive the reward.
Group lauded
Officials praised Adventures with Purpose, but said the group’s success was based on information that law enforcement shared with them, including maps and cellphone ping locations.
Yet Brown said he did not think the task force had been officially notified that the group had discovered Rodni’s car.
“I think we reached out to them after we read it online,” he said.
Adventures With Purpose announced on Facebook that divers had located Rodni just before 2:30 p.m. Sunday. The group’s YouTube page, which has nearly 2.5 million subscribers, features heavily edited videos of their cases, as well as footage of dives for underwater treasure, missing cars, boats and guns. The “episode” featuring Rodni’s case will be uploaded within a week or so, Bishop said Monday.
The team provides its services to families for free but relies on donations, sponsorships and merchandise purchases for funding.
But the group considered taking legal action in 2020 after the team found the body of Ethan Kazmerzak, an Iowa man who had been missing since 2013, and wanted to collect the $100,000 reward. It was not immediately clear whether a lawsuit was ever filed.
“We understand that the resource we provide with our unique skill set is rare and it is an honor to help agencies and families all across the nation,” Bishop said Monday. “We will be working together with authorities here to share this knowledge over the next couple of days.” | 2022-08-23T01:20:25+00:00 | reviewjournal.com | https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/nation-and-world/california-teens-body-found-in-reservoir-2627735/ |
ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistani police are investigating officers after violence at a march to mark International Women’s Day in Islamabad, a spokesman said Thursday. Three constables have been suspended from duty for misusing their authority.
Hundreds of people gathered in a central area of the city to mark the occasion on Wednesday, amid tight security. Organizers said the event was aimed at seeking rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Some conservative groups last year threatened to stop similar marches by force.
The demonstrators faced strong resistance from police, who charged at them with batons as they tried to enter the rally area, which was blocked off by shipping containers.
“The constables involved in the baton charge have been suspended from their duties on charges of misuse of authority,” Islamabad police spokesman Taqi Jawad said.
There was no official order to use force against rally-goers, and the officers involved in the violence “acted in the heat of the moment,” he said.
The inspector general of Islamabad Police, Akbar Nasir Khan, has ordered an inquiry into three constables and there is an investigation to see if more officers were involved in the violence. A report will be submitted in the coming days, according to Jawad.
Islamabad police apologized Wednesday to the women’s march protesters for the “unacceptable use of violence.” It said police stood in solidarity with the rally participants and their struggle for the protection of women’s rights.
Academic and gender studies expert Dr. Farzana Bari, one of the protest’s main organizers, condemned the violence.
She suffered scratches to the face and a ligament injury to the hand after being pushed by police onto barbed wire.
She said officers failed to protect women on the internationally observed day.
“Police baton-charged us and two transgender people who suffered injuries were shifted to hospital due to bleeding,” she told The Associated Press. “The police earlier issued us warnings to call off the march in view of the possible attacks by religious fanatics, however (they) indulged in violence themselves.”
In the eastern city of Lahore, Punjab Police on Wednesday registered a case against former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s political party after one of his supporters died at a rally. The case is based on a complaint about the death.
Police used water cannons and fired tear gas to disperse Khan’s supporters, with more than 40 arrested for defying a government ban on holding rallies in the city.
Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, or PTI, blamed the police for the death of its activist in the security crackdown near the former premier’s house in an upscale part of Lahore.
A spokesman for Punjab police Agha Ehtesham denied Thursday that officers were responsible for the death. He blamed the casualty on stone-throwing protesters.
The inspector general of Punjab Police, Dr. Usman Anwar, has set up an inquiry committee to investigate the matter, said Ehtesham.

(WGHP) – Nolan Neal, a former contestant on “The Voice” and “America’s Got Talent,” has died at age 41, according to multiple reports.
The singer was found dead in his Nashville apartment Monday, his cousin Dylan Seals told both TMZ and People.
A medical examiner confirmed Neal’s passing to TMZ, but investigators told the outlet they’re still waiting for the autopsy results.
Neal made it to the quarterfinals on the 15th season of “America’s Got Talent,” where he performed his original song “Send Me a Butterfly.” He had also received a standing ovation from the audience during his audition when he sang an original song about his substance abuse struggles.
Neal had earlier appeared on NBC’s singing competition “The Voice,” where he was picked to be on Adam Levine’s team. He was eliminated in the knockout round.
“We are heartbroken by the passing of Nolan Neal,” reads a statement shared by the official Twitter account of “The Voice.” “His incredible talent will always be remembered. Our sincerest sympathy goes out to his family and friends during this time.” | 2022-07-19T20:41:41+00:00 | fox59.com | https://fox59.com/news/national-world/voice-americas-got-talent-contestant-nolan-neal-dies-at-41-reports/ |
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Luis Matos took a few slow steps toward first base, followed by a pair of quick hops. The Giants’ rookie wasn’t admiring his first career home run down the left field line so much as he was trying to will it to stay fair.
″I knew it had the distance to go out,” Matos said through an interpreter. ”I just wanted to make sure that it stayed fair.”
Matos’ go-ahead, two-run drive in the sixth inning provided the Giants with their biggest moment as they beat the division-leading Arizona Diamondbacks 7-6 on Saturday for their 12th win in 13 games.
Joc Pederson and Blake Sabol added two hits each as San Francisco won its second straight against Arizona to pull 1 1/2 games back in the NL West.
Like several others who have played well for the Giants after coming up from the minors. Matos was the team’s No. 4 prospect when he was called up June 14. He has scored at least once in seven of the 10 games he’s played in since then batting primarily in the middle of the order. On Saturday, Matos hit ninth.
“Really good contact hitter. It’s one of the things we’re noticing,” Giants manager Gabe Kapler said. “He’s got really good bat-to-ball skills, a really good understanding where the sweet spot is on the bat. Nice to have a hitter down at the bottom of the lineup that can do that kind of damage.”
Christian Walker extended his hitting streak to nine games with a three hits and three RBIs for the Diamondbacks. Ketel Marte added his 13th home run and two RBIs. Arizona is the only team in the majors to avoid getting shut out this season.
Taylor Rogers (4-2), the fifth of seven Giants pitchers, retired three batters in the sixth to pick up the win. Camilo Doval allowed an RBI single to Lourdes Gurriel Jr. in the ninth but struck out Pavin Smith swinging with runners at second and third for his 22nd save.
The Giants trailed 3-1 and 5-3 before tying the game with two runs in the fifth and then taking the lead for good on Matos’ milestone moment.
After Brandon Crawford’s leadoff single, Matos crushed a 2-0 fastball from Arizona starter Merrill Kelly (9-4) over the fence in left field. San Francisco’s 21-year-old outfielder, making his second consecutive start in center after Mike Yastrzemski went on the Injured List, had one hit in his previous 10 at-bats and had been picked off first base.
“(Kelly) started me with two balls and no strikes so at the moment, I knew he had to attack the zone,” Matos said. “I knew he was going to come in and give me a good pitch to hit, and that’s what I got.”
Kelly, who came in tied for the NL lead in wins, suffered his first loss in eight road starts this season. He allowed 10 hits and seven runs (five earned) in five innings.
Arizona got off to an early start with Marte’s 13th home run off opener Ryan Walker in the first but San Francisco scored a pair of unearned runs in the bottom of the inning to go up 2-1.
Diamondbacks center fielder Corbin Carroll dropped Thairo Estrada’s fly ball for an error, one batter after LaMonte Wade Jr. lined a leadoff double to right-center. It was Carroll’s first error this season and second in 31 career games in center.
Immediately after the gaffe, Pederson’s groundout drove in Wade. Michael Conforto’s double scored Estrada.
The Diamondbacks regained the lead with four runs in the fourth off reliever Keaton Winn. Jake McCarthy reached on an infield single then stole second. Geraldo Perdomo followed with a liner that Giants second baseman Estrada made a diving stop of but lost control. Marte then blooped an RBI single over Estrada into right.
The game was then halted for several moments during a video review after Marte took second on Carroll’s fielder’s choice grounder against reliever Sean Manaea. Crawford fielded the ball behind the base and appeared to beat Marte to the bag but the runner was ruled safe. San Francisco challenged but the call was upheld.
Walker, working as San Francisco’s opener for the third time in six games, allowed two hits including Marte’s home run, in one inning.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Diamondbacks: Carroll was playing in center field for the first time in a week because manager Torey Lovullo gave Alek Thomas the day off.
Giants: Reliever Luke Jackson left for unknown reasons after facing one batter in the sixth. … Optioned SS Dalton Guthrie to Triple-A Sacramento after acquiring the infielder from the Phillies earlier in the week.
UP NEXT
Diamondbacks RHP Ryne Nelson (3-4, 5.31) faces the Giants for the second time in his career in the series finale Sunday. Anthony DeSclafani (4-6, 4.38) pitches for San Francisco and is looking for his first win since May 29.

The U.S. women’s national team has not only been wildly successful on the field, the players have also been unabashedly outspoken, using their platform to advocate for equal rights for themselves and others.
The team’s efforts to secure equitable pay finally came to fruition this week. The four-time Women’s World Cup winners reached a collective bargaining agreement with U.S. Soccer that gives them the same pay as their male counterparts.
But the historic milestone wasn’t achieved just because the women filed a discrimination lawsuit in 2019 or complained to the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2016. It was decades in the making.
Former goalkeeper Briana Scurry, who started on the team that won the 1999 World Cup, said the job of a national team player is first to be a skilled player and a great teammate. But there’s always been another unspoken component.
“Part two is you have to understand that there is a standard of doing more than just being a footballer, you have to push the envelope further and further, raise the bar in terms of equality,” Scurry said. “It was so clear to all of us back then that we deserved so much more than we were getting when we were the ones winning World Cups and Olympic Games, and bringing great notoriety to soccer in this country.”
—In 1995, a year before the Atlanta Games became the first Olympics to include women’s soccer, a group of nine players, including Scurry, Michelle Akers, Mia Hamm and Kristine Lilly, sat out of a training camp in a dispute over bonuses.
—Following the team’s memorable 1999 World Cup victory at the Rose Bowl, 20 of the team’s players refused to play in a tournament in Australia. That led to the team’s first collective bargaining agreement.
Akers, who is in the National Soccer Hall of Fame, said back when the national team was founded in the 1980s, the players got a $10 per diem and had to wear their own cleats in games. They were given hand-me-down uniforms from the men’s team.
Out of necessity, it became “part of the team’s DNA” for the players to advocate for themselves off the field, Akers said.
“That’s also a part of playing for the U.S. National Team, you’re representing your country, you’re representing your family, your teammates, and you’re out there giving everything you have to be the best you can be — and that doesn’t just mean as a soccer player, it means as a person and it means how you interact and work to make the world better,” she said.
Over the years, the battles extended beyond pay.
Abby Wambach led a group of players in protesting the artificial turf fields at the 2015 World Cup in Canada, claiming — rightly — that the men’s World Cup would never be held on fake grass. The players said the game is inherently different on turf and there’s a greater risk of injury. The tournament went on as planned, but the point was made for future World Cups.
Megan Rapinoe knelt during the national anthem before two games in 2016 in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick, the former NFL quarterback who knelt to draw attention to racial inequity.
At a match in Texas this year, a number of players wore armbands that read “Protect Trans Kids” hours after Gov. Greg Abbott called for investigations into parents for seeking gender-affirming care for their transgender children, likening it to child abuse.
One of the team’s most dramatic stands for equality came in 2016, when five high-profile players — Rapinoe, Alex Morgan, Becky Sauerbrunn, Hope Solo and Carli Lloyd — filed their EEOC complaint.
Unsatisfied with the lack of response, the women filed a gender discrimination lawsuit in 2019, just a few months before the team went to France and won the World Cup, spurring chants of “Equal Pay!” from fans celebrating the victory.
The U.S. Soccer Federation settled the lawsuit with the women for $24 million earlier this year, and vowed to work with both the men’s and women’s teams to equalize pay going forward. On Wednesday, the teams announced that deals had been struck.
“We wouldn’t be where we are today without all the generations of women’s national team players that came before that decided to fight for better everything,” Sauerbrunn said. “So much credit needs to go to them and I hope that they feel pride in what they did because we wouldn’t be here without them.”
Amanda Cromwell, who played for the national team from 1991-98, appearing in 55 matches, is proud of that legacy.
“I hope these women know the players that came before them, Michelle Akers, Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy, they paved the way for this group, and we fought our battles back then with some contract issues and trying to get more,” Cromwell said. “We’ve come a long way, I’ll say that.”

CRYSTAL SPRINGS, Miss. (AP) — U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Agent Harold Duane Poole was waiting with his semiautomatic service rifle — and an explanation — when deputies arrived at his sprawling wooded property on a warm spring night last year and found a bullet-riddled body near the driveway.
A veteran of the DEA's military-style commando teams, Poole acknowledged he fatally shot a mentally ill neighbor just minutes after calling law enforcement to report the man was trespassing on his land – yet again – "out of his mind" and threatening him with a rock.
"I'm going to kill you!" Poole recalled Chase Brewer yelling before he responded by firing eight high-powered rounds, striking the man in the chest, gut and hip.
Sheriff's investigators were skeptical of Poole's self-defense claim from the start, reports show, mostly because he mentioned in his call for help that the trespasser was already leaving. No rock of any kind could be found. And the shooting happened 200 yards from Poole's house, near the edge of his property, prompting deputies to determine Mississippi's "castle doctrine" didn't apply.
Yet a little more than a year after Poole was arrested on a murder charge in the April 27, 2021, shooting, he has quietly returned to work as a supervisor in the DEA office a half-hour's drive north in Jackson after a grand jury this spring declined to indict him.
What happened with the case amid the farm fields and pastures of Mississippi has baffled and frustrated the slain man's family, and it's something neither local prosecutors, the DEA nor Poole himself would discuss. But interviews and hundreds of law enforcement records obtained by The Associated Press raise new questions about the justification for the shooting, how Poole avoided trial and whether DEA brass overreached to protect one of their own amid a flurry of misconduct cases in the agency.
"No citizen could have done what this DEA agent did and walked away," said W. Lloyd Grafton, a use-of-force expert who reviewed the investigative case file at AP's request.
Former DEA supervisors who examined the case for AP questioned the agency's heavy-handed involvement in the critical first hours, even though the shooting had no nexus to federal law enforcement and Poole had been off duty feeding his chickens when he first spotted the trespasser.
Multiple DEA agents responded to the crowded crime scene and one supervisor declared himself "in charge" and blocked state and local investigators from interviewing Poole for at least 48 hours, citing an unspecified policy, the law enforcement records show. Later that night, the DEA's ranking official in New Orleans called the local sheriff after deputies decided they would arrest Poole. But by that time, the federal lawman had already left the scene to seek medical treatment for being "shaken up" — telling DEA officials but not local authorities.
"They tried everything they could to get us not to charge him," Copiah County Sheriff Byron Swilley told the dead man's family the day after the shooting, according to a recording of the private conversation obtained by the AP.
"I done had people calling me all out of Virginia about this guy because he's an agent," he added, referring to DEA headquarters.
Deputies charged Poole anyway, the sheriff explained, because it was obvious the agent failed to wait for law enforcement to arrive and "took the law into his own hands."
"When it's wrong, it's wrong," Swilley added. "You take somebody's life because of a rock?"
Hours after the shooting, the U.S. Justice Department issued an internal determination that Poole was not acting in the line of duty and DEA should defer to local authorities, according to current and former law enforcement officials familiar with the case.
A former ranking DEA official said the agency was nonetheless able to show its interest in the case and have an effect.
"You just had DEA impeding and obstructing a local investigation," said Karl C. Colder, a former DEA special agent in charge who also served as the agency's deputy chief inspector.
The DEA did not respond to repeated requests for comment. The Justice Department declined to comment.
Poole's shooting case followed a series of misconduct scandals that have dogged the DEA for years.
Just weeks before, DEA brass responded to a separate controversy involving another off-duty agent, Mark Ibrahim, who posed for photos in which he flashed his DEA badge and firearm outside the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot. Ibrahim is awaiting trial on four federal counts.
And only months before that case, a once-standout DEA agent admitted conspiring to launder money with a Colombian drug cartel. Jose Irizarry was sentenced to 12 years in federal prison, joining a growing list of former agents behind bars.
Poole, 48, has been held in high regard in DEA for more than two decades, serving as group supervisor in the agency's Jackson District Office, which targets major drug trafficking cases in 32 counties in Mississippi.
Beginning in 2013, Poole traveled the world with DEA's Foreign-Deployed Advisory and Support Teams, the military-style commandos that battled drug traffickers in Afghanistan and Latin America. The so-called FAST teams were disbanded in 2017 after coming under criticism for a series of fatal shootings in Honduras that predated Poole's overseas service.
Poole chronicled some of his adventures on Facebook, sharing photos of himself in combat gear. One showed him firing an assault-style rifle somewhere in South America. "This has been without a doubt the most rewarding period of my 21 year career," he wrote in a late 2016 post before returning home to his family in Mississippi.
Poole and his neighbor Brewer, or the "guy across the street," as the agent once described him, had known each other for years and were once on such good terms that Poole invited Brewer to his cookouts.
But by the time of the shooting, bad blood had been building for months. Brewer repeatedly trespassed onto Poole's 9-acre property and even attempted breaking into the home through a bedroom window in September 2020, prompting Poole to draw his pistol, according to charging papers.
Brewer was rambling incoherently by the time deputies arrested him emerging from a creek, armed with a pistol and two pocket knives.
An avid outdoorsman and truck mechanic who lived in a trailer, the diminutive, 47-year-old Brewer was also regarded by those close to him as a miracle of modern medicine. In 1996, he received a five-organ transplant at the University of Pittsburgh that replaced his stomach, duodenum, pancreas, intestine and liver after suffering intestinal failure due to a hereditary defect.
But Brewer began spiraling following a stroke in 2019, said his mother, Andrea Breedlove. He was hearing voices, and his drug use expanded from marijuana to crystal meth. In the months before Brewer's death, his mother tried to have him committed but was told the University of Mississippi Medical Center didn't have enough beds.
"Chase had been a good, quiet neighbor for years — and then he changed," Breedlove said in an interview at her home. "He would hallucinate at times and talk to people who weren't there. He needed help."
Poole, meanwhile, grew increasingly concerned for his family's safety, and he was frustrated that his pleas to local law enforcement were going unheeded. In October 2020, a month after the attempted break-in, the agent's wife told deputies following yet another trespassing incident that Brewer had a habit of sneaking onto the property when Poole was away. Brewer, who in this instance was chased away by Poole's dog, falsely told the deputy taking him into custody that he was a law enforcement agent who "cannot be arrested," according to sheriff's records.
So it didn't take long for Poole to recognize Brewer walking up his driveway that fateful night in April 2021. At 6:57 p.m., Poole called the Copiah County Sheriff's Office non-emergency line to report the trespassing and request a deputy.
"Mr. Poole said that he went inside and got his rifle and when he came back out Chase Brewer was leaving," according to a sheriff's report.
The agent followed Brewer toward a roadway abutting his pasture, flashed his badge and ordered him to the ground. Instead, Poole told deputies, Brewer hurled a rock and said, "I'm going to kill you!" That's when Poole raised his AR-15-style rifle and fired.
Three minutes after his initial call, Poole phoned the sheriff's office again to report he shot Brewer because he had charged at him.
"Mr. Poole said that Chase Brewer was out of his mind and that he is always shooting guns just down the road at his trailer," the sheriff's report says. An autopsy detected meth in Brewer's system, a drug he was also carrying at the time of his death.
Even after arresting Poole, deputies acknowledged they did not know the full extent of the encounter, in part because the agent never provided a full statement.
Also, some members of state law enforcement second-guessed Poole's arrest. A Mississippi Bureau of Investigation agent, Dennis Weaver, told a judge in a preliminary hearing that he disagreed with the sheriff's decision to arrest Poole, even though he acknowledged he had not reviewed critical body-camera footage of the agent's statements to deputies at the scene.
It's unclear why the grand jury rejected the state's murder case, despite the sheriff's assurances to the Brewer family that he would seek "real justice."
The local district attorney, Daniella Shorter, would not talk about her handling of the case, and neither her office nor the sheriff would release the body-camera footage, citing an investigation of the case by the Justice Department's Office of Inspector General.
"To release it to the public would be counter to their efforts in the event of a prosecution by the federal government," said Elise Munn, a Copiah County prosecutor. The Office of Inspector General declined to comment.
For Brewer's family, the loss of a loved one has been compounded by the lack of answers. At the very least, they want Poole to offer an apology or condolences for his neighbor's death. But the agent, like the DEA, has remained silent.
"He wanted Chase dead, that's all there is to it," said Breedlove, Brewer's mother. "This wasn't David versus Goliath. What was he going to do with a rock?"
Jim and Donna Mueller were on a trip to Washington D.C. to celebrate their 56th wedding anniversary when they were killed by a lightning strike Thursday night outside the White House.

WASHINGTON (AP) — New day, new tunnel.
President Joe Biden is ready to showcase a $292 million mega grant that will be used to help build a new rail tunnel beneath the Hudson River between New York and New Jersey, part of a broader effort to draw a contrast between his economic vision and that of Republicans.
The money is part of $1.2 billion in mega grants being awarded under the 2021 infrastructure law. The Democratic president's trip to New York City comes on the heels of his stop Monday in Baltimore to highlight the replacement of an aging rail tunnel there, where he pledged that government spending on infrastructure will boost economic growth and create blue-collar jobs.
“When America sees these projects popping up across the country, it sends a really important message: When we work together, there’s not a damn thing we can’t do,” Biden said Monday. “There’s nothing beyond our capacity.”
The two trips amount to a form of counterprogramming to the new House Republican majority. GOP lawmakers are seeking deep spending cuts in exchange for lifting the government's legal borrowing limit, saying that federal expenditures are hurting growth and that the budget should be balanced.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and Biden are scheduled to meet on Wednesday, with the Republican lawmaker intending to press his case for spending cuts even though White House officials say Biden won't negotiate over the need to increase the federal debt limit.
“I don’t think there’s anyone in America who doesn’t agree that there’s some wasteful Washington spending that we can eliminate,” McCarthy told CBS News on Sunday.
To some in the Biden administration, the Hudson Tunnel Project demonstrates what could be lost if spending cuts are put into place. In total, the construction is projected to result in 72,000 jobs, according to the White House.
The project will renovate the 1910 tunnel already carrying about 200,000 weekday passengers beneath the Hudson between New Jersey and Manhattan, a long-delayed upgrade after decades in which the government underfunded infrastructure.
The grant would also be used to help complete the concrete casing for an additional rail tunnel beneath the river, preserving a right of way for the eventual tunnel. In total, the project is expected to cost $16 billion and help ease a bottleneck for New Jersey commuters and Amtrak passengers going through New York City.
Other projects to receive mega grants include the Brent Spence Bridge, which connects Kentucky and Ohio; the Calcasieu River Bridge replacement in Louisiana; a commuter rail in Illinois; the Alligator River Bridge in North Carolina; a transit and highway plan in California; and roadways in Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Mississippi.
Not everyone has been pleased by the mega grant program. Some Republican lawmakers in Arizona say it gave preference to mass transit and repair projects over expansion and new construction. | 2023-01-31T14:52:22+00:00 | lmtonline.com | https://www.lmtonline.com/business/article/biden-to-highlight-grant-for-nyc-rail-tunnel-17753204.php |

Which makeup is best for spring break?
It’s almost time for spring break, and when you’re out and about at the beach, you want to look your sun-kissed best. That starts with wearing a foundation that’s suitable for the warmer weather. You want something lightweight that won’t clog your pores. You also want a foundation that lets you show off a radiant beachgoer glow while nourishing your skin so it stays healthy all spring and summer long.
In this article: Oxygenetix Oxygenating Foundation, Dermablend Cover Creme Full Coverage Foundation and Sephora Collection Perfection Mist Airbrush Foundation.
Foundation is seasonal
You don’t wear the same wardrobe all year round. As the temperature rises, your outfits get lighter and more breathable. Similarly, you don’t wear the same colors in spring and summer as you do in the fall and winter. You should make the same choices with your makeup — particularly your foundation.
Things to consider when choosing your spring foundation
- Does it match your skin? Depending on its exposure to sunlight, your skin may darken. The right foundation should match your current skin tone as closely as possible.
- Is it lightweight? Wearing a heavy jacket in the summer would make you miserable. Likewise, you’ll be happier when wearing a lighter-weight foundation in warmer weather.
- Is it breathable? A breathable foundation doesn’t clog your pores. It allows air to permeate your skin cells to keep them healthy and thriving.
- Does it moisturize? Moisturizing is one of the best things you can do to help your skin repair itself and stay healthy.
- Does it nourish your skin? Just like you feed your body, you need to feed your skin to keep it strong and vibrant. A nourishing foundation helps provide your skin with a balanced diet.
- Is it appropriate for your skin type? Do you have dry or oily skin? Choose the foundation that best matches your skin type.
- Does it have soothing qualities? A foundation with aloe may be desirable in the spring and summer when your skin is exposed to more sunlight.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Wholesale prices in the United States rose 6.2% in December from a year earlier, a sixth straight slowdown and a hopeful sign that inflation pressures will continue to cool.
The latest year-over-year figure was down from 7.3% in November and from a recent peak of 11.7% in March. On a monthly basis, the government said Wednesday that its producer price index, which measures costs before they reach consumers, dropped 0.5% from November to December.
The producer price data can provide an early sign of where consumer inflation might be headed. The data reflects the prices that are charged by manufacturers, farmers and wholesalers, and it flows into an inflation gauge that the Federal Reserve closely tracks, the personal consumption expenditures price index.
The ongoing slowdown in wholesale price growth is adding to evidence that the worst bout of inflation in four decades is steadily easing, though it remains far above the Federal Reserve’s target of 2%.
Last month’s drop was led by gas prices, which sank 13.4% from November to December. Gas prices averaged $3.36 a gallon Wednesday, according to AAA, down from a peak of $5 a gallon in mid-June.
Food prices fell by a sharp 1.2%, led by fruits, vegetables and chicken. One exception was egg prices. Driven up in part by a wave of avian flu, egg prices soared 25% just from November to December.
Excluding volatile energy and food costs, so-called core producer prices rose only 0.1% from November to December. Measured year over year, core prices increased 5.5% in December, compared with 6.2% in November.
“The big picture is one of rapid disinflation, with much more to come,” said Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics.
Producer prices in the nation’s vast service sector — everything from restaurants and hotels to airlines and entertainment venues — ticked up just 0.1% from November to December, the smallest such increase since last April. The Fed has been monitoring this area of the economy in particular as it assesses its progress in combating high inflation.
But rising evidence shows that inflation across the economy is easing after having reached a four-decade peak last summer. At the consumer level, inflation also cooled in December for a sixth straight month to 6.5% compared with a year earlier, from 7.1% in November.
An acceleration in workers’ wages has been slowing, too, which could further help control inflation. In December, average wage growth in the United States was up 4.6% from 12 months earlier, compared with a recent peak of 5.6% in March.
Over the past year, the Fed has rapidly raised its key interest rate in an aggressive drive to cool borrowing and spending and tame inflation, which began surging more than a year and a half ago.
The Fed’s rate hikes have, in turn, led to higher borrowing costs for consumers and businesses. The average mortgage rate is still nearly twice its level a year ago, though it has dipped in recent weeks. Loan costs for auto purchases, credit cards and a range of business borrowing are up sharply, too.
Even as overall inflation gradually slows, costs continue to surge in some pockets of the economy. Particularly in the service sector, wage growth is still contributing to broader inflation pressures. | 2023-01-18T19:31:02+00:00 | wate.com | https://www.wate.com/news/business/ap-business/ap-wholesale-inflation-in-us-slowed-further-in-december-to-6-2/ |
SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — A fire that ripped through part of Chile’s Easter Island this week has caused permanent damage to some of its iconic carved stone figures known as moai, authorities said.
The high temperature of the forest fire accelerated the process through which the stone carvings will eventually turn into sand, the mayor of the island locally known as Rapa Nui said.
The damage is “irreparable and immeasurable as well,” Mayor Pedro Edmunds Paoa said.
The Chilean island that lies in the middle of the Pacific Ocean has some 800 moais, half of which are inside the Rano Raraku volcano.
The fire this week blazed through 104 acres and particularly affected an area inside the volcano where there are around 100 moais, around 20 percent of which have been damaged, Edmunds Paoa said. There are also some damaged structures outside the volcano.
The high temperatures calcinate the stone of the moais, which leads it to “crack” and with time “it starts to collapse,” Edmunds Paoa told a local radio station.
The mayor blamed locals who raise cows and horses in the island and regularly burn grassland.
Edmunds Paoa accused the state of abandoning the island.
“The work of avoiding accidents and fires involves a prevention plan that requires resources and that’s what we don’t have,” he said.
Ninoska Huki, the local head of the National Forest Corporation, had said earlier that the island lacked firefighters.
Officials are currently working to determine how much the fire has affected the island, which is around 3,700 kilometers from mainland Chile and is inhabited by some 7,700 people.
The island is known around the world for its moais, stone structures that are thought to weigh around 14 tons, and the Rapa Nui National Park covers around 40 percent of the island.
Since 2019, Easter Island is locally known as Rapa Nui-Easter Island.
The island only reopened to tourists in August after it was closed off for more than two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic. | 2022-10-08T20:30:46+00:00 | wivb.com | https://www.wivb.com/news/world/ap-chile-easter-island-fire-damages-some-statues/ |

WASHINGTON (AP) — House leaders say the impact of a hack of a health insurance marketplace used by members of Congress “could be extraordinary,” exposing sensitive personal data of lawmakers, their employees and families. In all, thousands of people could be affected.
DC Health Link, which runs the exchange, said an unspecified number of customers were impacted and it was notifying them and working with law enforcement to quantify the damage. It said it was offering identity theft service to those affected and extending credit monitoring to all customers.
Some 11,000 of the exchange’s more than 100,000 participants work in the House and Senate — in the nation’s capital and district offices across the nation — or are relatives.
In a letter to the exchange’s director posted on Twitter, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said the breach “significantly increase the risk that Members, staff and their families will experience identity theft, financial crimes, and physical threats.” The stolen data includes Social Security numbers, phones, addresses, emails and employer names.
The FBI said in a brief statement Wednesday evening it was aware of the incident and was assisting.
In the letter, McCarthy and Jeffries said the FBI had not yet determined the extent of the breach but that thousands of House members, employees and their families have enrolled in health insurance through DC Health Link since 2014. “The size and scope of impacted House customers could be extraordinary.”
They said the FBI told them it was able to purchase the stolen data on the dark web, where it was offered for sale for an unspecified amount Monday on a hacker forum popular with cybercriminals.
It was not clear, though, whether and how the FBI could guarantee that copies of the stolen data were not circulating in the cybercrime underworld. Indeed, on Thursday, a new user on the forum claimed a hacker known as “thekilob” had stolen more than 55,000 records and exclaimed “Glory to Russia” in Cyrillic. Some of the most active cybercriminals are Russian speakers and operate with little interference from the Kremlin.
The user posted 200 records from the hack online and The Associated Press confirmed the sample’s authenticity with two of the victims listed.
“This is big. This isn’t just like regular folks. This is everyone,” said one victim who works in Washington, D.C. In all, 24 people in her office had their records in the dump. The AP is not naming victims or their workplaces to avoid further potential harm.
Sample data posted to the hacker forum by a different account — and removed overnight Thursday — listed data for a dozen DC Link participants. The AP reached one by phone.
“Oh my God,” the man said, when informed the information was public. All 12 people listed work for the same company or are family members.
In an email to all Senate email account holders on Wednesday, the sergeant at arms recommended that anyone registered on the health insurance exchange freeze their credit to prevent identity theft.
An email sent out by the office of the Chief Administrative Office of the House on behalf of McCarthy and Jeffries called the breach “egregious” and urged members to use credit and identity theft monitoring resources.
In an emailed statement on Wednesday, Rep. Joe Morelle of New York said House leadership was informed by Capitol Police that DC Health Link “suffered an extraordinarily large data breach of enrollee information” that posed a “great risk” to members, employees and their family members. He said the FBI was still determining the “cause, size, and scope of the data breach.”
The hack follows several recent breaches affecting U.S. agencies. Hackers broke into a U.S. Marshals Service computer system and activated ransomware on Feb. 17 after stealing personally identifiable data about agency employees and targets of investigations.
An FBI computer system was recently breached at the bureau’s New York field office, CNN reported in mid-February. Asked about that intrusion, the FBI issued a statement calling it “an isolated incident that has been contained.” It declined further comment, including when it occurred and whether ransomware was involved.
There was no indication the DC Health breach was ransomware-related.

$2.7 million worth of swim bladders from endangered fish seized by US authorities
Published: Jun. 18, 2023 at 9:54 AM EDT|Updated: 36 minutes ago
(CNN) - Border authorities have seized $2.7 million in illegal swim bladders, the organ that helps fish control their buoyancy.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in Arizona seized 242 pounds of bladders on April 13.
Authorities say the bladders came from the Totoaba fish, which has been endangered since 1979.
They are also considered an Asian cultural delicacy and are used in traditional Chinese medicine.
Border agents say smugglers tried to hide the bladders inside of a commercial shipment of frozen fish fillets.
Authorities believe this seizure is the second-largest seizure of its kind in the U.S. and the largest Totoaba seizure in Arizona, to date.

Young people who identify as LGBTQ+ were less likely to report symptoms of depression when they had general support from their parents, according to a study published Tuesday.
Previous research has examined parental support directly tied to a person's LGBTQ+ identity, but the study, which was published by the University of Texas at Austin researchers in the Child Development journal, asked LGBTQ+ youth to answer how often their parents did things like say how proud they were of them or assisted them with activities.
Participants were also asked if their parents exhibited any psychologically controlling behavior, such as asserting their beliefs as the correct ones, whether their caregivers were aware of their LGBTQ+ identity and what kind of thoughts and feelings they had been having in the last two weeks.
"Our research showed that those who felt greater social support from parents tended to have fewer depressive symptoms, whereas those who reported greater psychological control from parents had more depressive symptoms," said Amy McCurdy, a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Texas at Austin. "For youth whose parents did not know their LGBTQ identities, having a combination of high psychological control and high social support from parents was linked with greater depressive symptoms."
In a sample of 536 LGBTQ+ youth, ages 15 to 21, there were 252 men, 258 women and 26 people who identified differently from man or woman. A little over 35% of the participants identified as bisexual, 34% as gay, 20% as lesbian, 6.7% as questioning and 2.4% as both straight and transgender.
Researchers also examined other variables to reach their results, including race, age and whether or not participants received free or reduced-price lunch in school.
A 2021 survey of 9th- through 12th-graders by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 22% of LGBTQ+ teens reported experiencing sexual violence in the past year, and 52% of LGBTQ+ teens experienced poor mental health in the past year, with 1 in 5 saying they had attempted suicide during that period of time.

SOMERSET, Ky. (WDKY) — No one else on earth could close out the 30th annual Master Musicians Festival like Wynonna Judd, organizers say.
Emily Bhatti, 9, and her mother, Melissa Bhatti, knew that they had to attend MMF in Somerset, Kentucky, this year when they heard that Judd was coming to town. Melissa said that Emily knows every word to most of the icon’s songs.
“We wouldn’t have missed Wynonna for the world,” Melissa told Nexstar’s WDKY.
Emily arrived at the festival field carrying a hand-painted poster that read, “Can I sing with you?” She toted it proudly on the railing for over four hours, awaiting Judd’s headlining set. Before she knew it, she was on stage with a microphone in hand.
“She was star-struck at first,” Melissa recounted. “It may have helped that I was dancing like a fool behind Emily.”
Wynonna caught a glimpse after a song or two and started to motion for Emily to join her on stage.
“If she doesn’t go to college, it’s not my fault,” Judd can be heard saying in the video above. “Or maybe it is; I don’t know.”
The band chimed in, and the pair began a one-of-a-kind rendition of Judd’s 1992 hit “No One Else On Earth.” Emily was nervous at first, as anyone would be when singing with their idol in front of a crowd of 7,800 people at the age of 9. Judd motioned for Emily to simply sing to her.
The crowd can then be heard cheering loudly.
“She’s got heart,” Judd said. “Girl power. You’re raising her right, mama.”
Emily returned home that night with her poster, now autographed by the icon, with a message that read: “I’m so proud of you. Love, Wynonna.”
Melissa said they intend to have it framed. | 2023-07-18T23:43:01+00:00 | wboy.com | https://www.wboy.com/news/national/watch-wynonna-judd-brings-kentucky-girl-9-on-stage-to-perform-song/ |
Technology leaders, policymakers, civil society leaders, researchers, and concerned computing professionals join to collectively explore current and emerging challenges and responses to Hate Speech, Extremism, Exploitation, Misinformation, and Disinformation
LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., Sept. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The program has been announced for the Digital Platforms and Societal Harms Tech Forum, taking place virtually over multiple events from 17 October to 4 November 2022. This IEEE Computer Society tech forum focuses on dangerous societal harms – Hate Speech, Extremism, Exploitation, Misinformation, and Disinformation – that are amplified by digital platforms such as social media, online games, and the metaverse. Attendees will hear about the latest approaches to these critical problems, including insights from experts developing technological solutions such as AI and machine learning, join Q&A sessions with the speakers, and participate in small group discussions on each topic.
Passes are complimentary for a limited time: https://tech-forum.computer.org
"This important event focuses on some of the most pressing issues affecting society," said Andre Oboler, IEEE Computer Society Vice President of Member & Geographic Activities and Online Hate Prevention Institute founding director and CEO. "We will once again bring together technology professionals, lawmakers, public policy professionals, and civil society representatives to discuss what solutions are technically possible with today's technology, what challenges will require new technical innovations, and where policy and regulatory changes may benefit from technical expertise to avoid unintended consequences. This free online global event will be of interest to everyone concerned about negative effects amplified by digital platforms and of particular interest to those working to address these harms either through technology, policy, law reform, or advocacy."
The fast-paced development of innovative computing technologies that constitute truly societal-scale digital platforms, and the equally large-scale impacts – good and bad – that those systems have on day-to-day life, are among the defining issues of our time. The IEEE Computer Society's Tech Forum on Digital Platforms and Societal Harms brings together policymakers and technologists to explore the intersection of current technical efforts with public policies, and the resulting impacts on society.
Over three weeks the forum will cover three themes - Hate Speech, Extremism & Exploitation, and Disinformation & Misinformation - with plenary panels followed by small group discussions, as well as workshops, round tables, and related online events. The program includes the following scheduled activities:
Plenary Panel on Hate Speech
The session will discuss hate speech on digital platforms, from social media to online gaming and the metaverse. Panelists will discuss the state-of-the-art efforts to tackle online hate, policy and technology challenges, and the latest information on regulations. Participants will then be divided into small groups for further discussion on the topic with each other and our speakers.
Virtual tours of the museum exhibition #FakeImages
The exhibition explores Nazi hate propaganda from World War II as well as contemporary examples of fake images. Mechanisms that have a major impact on contemporary ideas and on society are examined and visitors will discover how to break through common patterns of misleading information such as stereotypes, prejudice, racism, and deception.
Extremism & Exploitation, 24 October - 28 October
Plenary Panel on Extremism & Exploitation
The use of digital platforms to aid in violent extremism (terrorism) and child exploitation will be examined in our second panel. Experts will discuss the latest efforts to address these harms and the challenges that have arisen with the increased use of alternative and minimally moderated platforms. Participants will then be divided into small groups for further discussion on the topic with each other and our speakers.
Asia Pacific Regional Forum
A regional forum will bring together speakers from across Asia and the Pacific to discuss the themes of online hate speech, extremism, exploitation, misinformation, and disinformation in the local context.
Disinformation and Misinformation, 31 October - 4 November
Plenary Panel on Disinformation and Misinformation
Interference in elections, the spread of false information during the global pandemic, and conspiracy theories that can lead to hate and extremism: recent years have seen online disinformation and misinformation emerge as a serious threat to health, safety, and the rule of law. Leading experts will discuss the challenges in addressing these information threats. Participants will then be divided into small groups for further discussion on the topic with each other and our speakers.
Policy Workshop
IEEE public policy staff and volunteer leaders will hold a roundtable discussion that seeks to answer the questions of policymakers (where clear answers exist) and discuss different perspectives on public policy responses and potential responses to tackling online hate speech, extremism, exploitation, misinformation, and disinformation.

Infowars host Alex Jones filed for personal bankruptcy protection in Texas on Friday as he faces nearly $1.5 billion in court judgments over conspiracy theories he spread about the Sandy Hook school massacre.
Jones filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in bankruptcy court in Houston. His filing lists $1 billion to $10 billion in liabilities owed to 50 to 99 creditors and $1 million to $10 million in assets.
The bankruptcy filing comes as Jones faces court orders to pay nearly $1.5 billion in damages to relatives of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting for calling the massacre a hoax.
An attorney representing Jones in the bankruptcy case did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
A Connecticut jury in October awarded the families $965 million in compensatory damages, and a judge later tacked on another $473 million in punitive damages. Earlier in the year, a Texas jury awarded the parents of a child killed in the shooting $49 million in damages.
The bankruptcy filing temporarily halted all proceedings in the Connecticut case and forced a judge to cancel a hearing scheduled on Friday morning on the Sandy Hook families’ request to attach the assets of Jones and his company to secure money for the nearly $1.4 billion in damages awarded there.
Chris Mattei, an attorney for the Sandy Hook families in the Connecticut case, criticized the bankruptcy filing on Friday.
“Like every other cowardly move Alex Jones has made, this bankruptcy will not work,” Mattei said in a statement. “The bankruptcy system does not protect anyone who engages in intentional and egregious attacks on others, as Mr. Jones did. The American judicial system will hold Alex Jones accountable, and we will never stop working to enforce the jury’s verdict.”
In the Texas and Connecticut cases, some relatives of the 20 children and six adults killed in the school shooting testified that they were threatened and harassed for years by people who believed the lies told on Jones’ show. One parent testified that conspiracy theorists urinated on his 7-year-old son's grave and threatened to dig up the coffin.
Erica Lafferty, the daughter of slain Sandy Hook principal Dawn Hochsprung, testified that people mailed rape threats to her house.
Jones has laughed at the awards on his Infowars show, saying he has less than $2 million to his name and won’t be able to pay such high amounts. The comments contradicted the testimony of a forensic economist at the Texas trial, who said Jones and his company Free Speech Systems have a combined net worth as high as $270 million. Free Speech Systems is also seeking bankruptcy protection.
In documents filed in Free Speech Systems’ bankruptcy case in Texas, a budget for the company for Oct. 29 to Nov. 25 estimated product sales would total $2.5 million, while operating expenses would be about $740,000. Jones’ salary was listed at $20,000 every two weeks. | 2022-12-02T19:38:29+00:00 | fox17online.com | https://www.fox17online.com/news/national/amid-legal-troubles-infowars-host-alex-jones-files-for-personal-bankruptcy |

DALLAS (AP) — Two men who were in a Phoenix hotel lobby the night that Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin was accused of misconduct with a female employee said Wednesday they didn't see him do anything wrong and that his brief interaction with the woman appeared friendly.
Phil Watkins of Australia and Bryn Davis of Philadelphia appeared at a news conference by video link with Irvin and his attorney.
Irvin has filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit against a "Jane Doe" and Marriott International Inc., alleging that a false misconduct claim on Feb. 5 caused him to be kicked out of the Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel hotel and removed from the NFL Network's Super Bowl week coverage.
Watkins said he saw “nothing at all” that could be considered inappropriate, and that Irvin and the woman shook hands and laughed.
“There was nothing untoward out of the interaction,” and Irvin soon left for the elevator as the woman went back toward the bar, Watkins said.
Irvin has insisted he did nothing wrong during the encounter with the woman and went to his room alone. He has said there was no inappropriate physical contact.
Irvin's attorney, Levi McCathern, complained that Marriott has not adequately provided him with video footage of the encounter. McCathern said he was allowed to watch a short video in Marriott's attorney offices on Tuesday but was not allowed to take a copy or make one.
The video showed Irvin and the woman meet and shake hands, and Irvin twice touched her elbow before leaving, McCathern said.
McCathern said he asked a judge to order Marriott to provide him with a copy.
"The allegations are nonsense," McCathern said. “We need to immediately get Michael back to work, and I believe Renaissance needs to apologize.”
Marriott officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Irvin, who appeared to tear up briefly at the new conference, complained that he hasn't yet been allowed to see the video. And he compared the allegations and resulting fallout to Jim Crow-era persecution of Black men.
“I couldn’t even tell you what she looked like,” Irvin said. “This just blows my mind, that in 2023 we still dragging and hanging brothers by a tree.”

Have you recently taken a COVID-19 test? If you’re waiting for your results, Mayo Clinic diagnostic experts have some helpful guidelines to walk you through the process.
It all depends on the type of test and your results.
Next steps after testing positive with polymerase chain reaction test
If you test positive for COVID-19 using a polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, test, follow these guidelines, based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, to determine what you need to do:
- Isolate for at least five days. You can end isolation after five days if you are fever-free for 24 hours without using fever-reducing medication and your other symptoms have improved. Day zero is your first day of symptoms. NOTE: You also should check with your employer, school district or public health department for exact isolation guidelines for you and/or your family if you test positive for COVID-19, as those guidelines may differ.
- If you test positive for and never develop symptoms, commonly referred to as asymptomatic, isolate for at least five days and wear a mask around others at home. Day zero is the day the sample was collected for a positive test result.
- Contact your health care team to let them know you tested positive so it can be documented in your health record.
- At the end of isolation, wear a properly fitted surgical/procedural mask in public settings.
- If you still have a fever, regardless of how many days you’ve been in isolation, stay home and monitor your symptoms until you no longer have a fever.
- You may need to have a negative test result, either a PCR or at-home antigen test, before you can return to work or school. Check with your employer, school district or public health department to determine if this is needed.
If you test negative for COVID-19 using a PCR test, you are likely not infected, provided you do not have any symptoms.
Symptoms may include fever, chills, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, headache, cough, and loss of smell and taste.
If you do not have symptoms and do not have known exposure to a person infected with COVID-19, you do not need to quarantine.
Next steps after testing positive with an at-home antigen test
If you take an at-home antigen test and your results indicate you are positive for COVID-19, here’s help to determine your next steps:
QUESTION: Can I trust the results of an at-home antigen test?
ANSWER: If you have symptoms, take an at-home antigen test and it is positive, you likely have COVID-19 and should isolate at home according to CDC guidelines.
Sometimes an at-home antigen test can have a false-negative result. A negative at-home test is not a free pass if the person taking the test has symptoms.
If you use an at-home test that comes back negative and have symptoms that persist or get worse, it’s a good idea to get a lab-based PCR test for COVID-19 and influenza. You also should stay home and isolate until you get the PCR test results back. The antigen test may have missed an early infection.
QUESTION: How long do I need to stay in isolation if I test positive for COVID-19 using an at-home antigen test?
ANSWER: Generally, if you are positive for COVID-19 by either the antigen or PCR test, you will need to be in isolation for a minimum of five days from the onset of your symptoms and/or a positive test.
QUESTION: Do I need to have another COVID-19 test before I return to work or regular activity following the five days of isolation?
ANSWER: You may need to have a negative test result, either by a PCR or at-home antigen test, before you can return to work or school, depending on specific requirements for the organization and where you live.
QUESTION: Should I let my local health care team know I tested positive for COVID-19?
ANSWER: Yes. You should let your local care team know you tested positive using an at-home antigen test. This will ensure your care team can help you with any care needs if you have prolonged symptoms.
QUESTION: Do I need to take another COVID-19 antigen test to make sure I’m negative after a certain amount of time?
ANSWER: No. If you no longer have symptoms after five days or are fever-free for at least 24 hours without using a fever-reducing medication, you do not need to take another test to confirm you are no longer positive, unless you have been directed to by your workplace or school. However, if your symptoms persist longer than five days, you should remain isolated until you no longer have symptoms for at least 24 hours.
QUESTION: Does my entire household need to be tested to ensure they are not positive following my positive COVID-19 antigen test?
ANSWER: No. If others in your household do not have symptoms, they do not need to be tested. However, if they experience symptoms, they also should be tested. | 2022-12-02T13:13:40+00:00 | seattletimes.com | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/what-to-do-if-you-test-positive-for-covid-19-or-negative/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all |

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona State hired Oregon offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham on Sunday, making the 32-year-old the youngest head football coach in a Power Five conference.
“He brings the energy, knowledge and appreciation of our state and university that is valued by all of us,” Arizona State athletic director Ray Anderson said in a statement. “His knowledge of the current college football landscape, learned by coaching across the nation, is needed and wanted at ASU.”
A Phoenix native, Dillingham returns to the school he graduated from 10 years ago in hopes of turning around a program that fired Herman Edwards in September after a 1-2 start. Arizona State also is facing an NCAA investigation for alleged violations of recruiting rules committed under Edwards.
Dillingham began his coaching career at Chaparral High School in Scottsdale, Arizona, before being hired as an offensive analysis by then-Arizona State coach Todd Graham in 2014.
He has served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Memphis, Auburn, Florida State and Oregon.
“It is an honor and a privilege to be named the head coach at Arizona State University," Dillingham said. “This is a special place to myself and my wife who is also a graduate. I truly believe the team we will build here is one that the state of Arizona and all Sun Devils can rally behind and be proud of as it will take everyone in the valley to help this program achieve the level of success it is due.”
Anderson took a calculated gamble in 2018 with the hiring of Edwards, a former NFL coach and TV analyst.
The loquacious coach won over Arizona State’s fan base his first couple of seasons, proving to be an adept recruiter while leading the Sun Devils to consecutive bowl appearances.
Arizona State couldn’t sustain the success on the field and the program fell into the NCAA’s crosshairs for hosting recruits on campus during an NCAA-mandated COVID-19 dead period in 2020.
Edwards was fired a day after the Sun Devils lost to Eastern Michigan of the Mid-American Conference as heavy home favorites. He went 46-26 in five seasons at Arizona State, including 17-14 in the Pac-12.
Running backs coach Shaun Aguano served as interim coach and went 2-7 to close out the season, including a loss to rival Arizona in the finale.

Fishing is one of those rare activities that can be whatever you want it to be. If you are more interested in companionship than the activity, that’s fine. Fishing is a great, relaxing hobby that you don’t have to take too seriously. It can be an excuse to get together and catch up with friends on an occasional or regular basis.
If you love the activity and thrive on competition, however, fishing can be a sport. You can take it seriously, invest in the best fishing gear, and make it a priority in your life. People who desire a more vigorous approach can focus on the challenge and the thrill, work up to big game fishing, and take part in tournaments. Fishing at this level could even be a high-intensity workout.
Fishing could also be a way of life or a philosophy. It unites the mind and body in a way similar to yoga. Fly fishing, for example, involves a poetry of motion that elevates the activity to an art form.
Whatever approach, level of involvement, or commitment, fishing can be a rewarding and fulfilling pursuit. If you’d like to try it, here’s everything you need to start fishing.

Benefits of fishing
If you are on the fence about fishing, it might help to consider some of the many benefits the activity offers.
Fishing is good for your physical health
Fishing isn’t an indoor activity. It can be done in a stream, on a lake, in the ocean, on the shore, or wherever there is water and fish. This means you are outside breathing fresh air while engaged in physical activity. Fishing can help you burn calories, increase your range of motion, allow you to develop a better sense of balance, and benefit your cardiovascular system.
Fishing is good for your mental health
Some studies suggest just being around water can cause your brain to release beneficial neurochemicals that increase blood flow and encourage relaxation. Spending a leisurely morning on a boat may reduce anxiety and lower blood pressure. It can also help you forget your problems, foster concentration, and promote mindfulness.
Fishing is good for your social health
While it is entirely possible to make fishing a solitary pursuit, many find the greatest joy in companionship. Fishing lets you share an experience with the people in your life who are important to you. It gives you a chance to engage with another individual on a level that isn’t often possible in our fast-paced world. Fishing can help remind you how to have a robust face-to-face social life.
Fishing is good for the community
The money you spend on your fishing license goes back to the community. It is used to educate new anglers and teach beginners about regulations, proper catch-and-release techniques, species identification, conservation, and more. The money that you spend on equipment, supplies, and other items helps support the economy. As an angler, you are responsible for helping manage wildlife. Seasonal limits ensure the fish population remains stable and diverse.
How to start fishing
If you are intrigued, you can try fishing to see if it is right for you. It doesn’t cost a lot of money to get started, but there are a few preliminary steps you need to take.
Choose a location
The first thing you need to do is think about what type of fishing you want to do. Find a spot, preferably someplace close — if it is an inconvenient location, it might deter you from fishing. It’s also important to know where you are going to fish because that might affect the type of license you need to buy.
Purchase a fishing license
Unless you will only be fishing on private property, you will need a fishing license. A fishing license is a permit that lets you fish. If you are in a state with saltwater and freshwater fishing, you will need to purchase the appropriate license. It is important to research what your state has available to get the license that is best for you.
Learn about fishing
Before going on your first outing, you need to learn about your state’s fishing regulations. There may be seasonal rules, species size limits, bag limits, and more. These rules are put in place to protect the fish population. Besides learning and understanding state regulations, you need to be able to identify fish species. If you don’t know if you’ve caught a trout or a bass, you won’t be able to follow state regulations.
Purchase your gear
Once you know where you will be fishing, you will know what kind of gear you will need — fly fishing requires different gear than trolling. If this is your first time, you don’t have to worry about getting everything you might need. Just focus on the essentials that let you try the activity: rod, reel, line, bait, and lures.
What you need for fishing
Artificial bait and lures
Artificial bait and lures are two ways to catch fish. In general, using bait requires less skill, making it a better option for beginners.
Fish finder
A fish finder is a device that lets you know what is under your boat. It also provides maps and lets you mark your favorite hot spots. While some models are basic, leaving much up to interpretation, others have bells and whistles that make the display easier to read. Some of the more popular brands include Garmin and Humminbird.
Fishing gloves
Fish can be slimy and may have sharp dorsal spines and gill plates. To protect your hands, you need to wear fishing gloves. The rubberized coating improves your grip and protects your hands from cuts and blisters.
Fishing jacket
A fishing jacket is a lightweight, waterproof coat that keeps you protected from the elements when fishing. It also may have zippered pockets, a hood, adjustable cuffs, a drawstring, and an adjustable waistband.
Fishing line
Not all fishing line is the same. A monofilament line may be a great all-around choice, but if you want a more durable option, consider fluorocarbon fishing line. If you want to pack more line on your reel, however, a braided line might be best. Consider your needs so you can get the best fishing line for you.
Fishing multi-tool
When fishing, there are numerous tasks you may need to perform, such as repairing lures or snipping line. If you don’t have the right tool on hand, you will have to improvise, which is never recommended. A fishing multi-tool is a small device, similar to a Swiss army knife, that is packed with tools that let you accomplish a wide variety of tasks. A pair of fishing pliers is also an essential tool. If your multi-tool does not include pliers, you will need to purchase them separately.
Fishing net
As you tire out a fish and bring it in close, a fishing net helps you finish the job without fear of the fish escaping or being harmed. A quality fishing net can also protect you from being bitten, receiving a slice or getting stuck by a hook. No matter which type of fishing you prefer, having a landing net on hand is always a good idea.
Fishing reel
While some might not pay much attention to a fishing reel, it is the component that gives you a smoother cast and adds balance to your rod. The best reel will make fishing much more enjoyable. If you are using a particular method, however, the type of reel you choose is crucial. For instance, purchasing a high-quality fly fishing reel can make the difference between frustration and elation. An ice fishing reel, on the other hand, must be able to operate in extreme temperatures.
Fishing rod
If you want to start fishing, you need a fishing rod. Some of the most popular types of rods include casting rods, fly fishing rods, spinning rods, trolling rods, and ice fishing rods. For individuals who are primarily concerned about space or weight, you can opt for a telescoping fishing rod or an ultralight fishing rod.
Float tube
If fishing small lakes and ponds is your goal, a float tube may be a worthwhile investment. This inflatable craft is a small floating chair — your legs dangle in the water — that has on-board storage for all your fishing essentials.
Fly fishing vest
When you are fly fishing, you want everything you need to be within reach. Since you will often be out wading in a stream or lake, the best way to transport your essentials is by purchasing a quality fly fishing vest. The best vest will be comfortable and allow a full range of motion. It will also have a multitude of pockets and fasteners, so you can bring along everything you might need.
Fly fishing waders
Fly fishing can require getting a little wet. When you need to wade out into the water, you need a pair of fly fishing waders to keep you warm and dry. Waders need to be waterproof yet breathable for comfort. They should have an adjustable fit and enough pockets for you to carry your essentials. If you will only be fishing in shallow water, fishing pants might be a better option because they eliminate the unnecessary bulk above the waist.
Inflatable paddle board
If you prefer to stand when fishing and favor still or calm water, an inflatable paddle board might be a good option for you. These items offer a great deal of stability and ample space for gear. When deflated, the paddle board is roughly the size of a large suitcase, which makes it easy to transport.
Kayak
If you want an affordable, versatile craft, consider a kayak or an inflatable kayak. These vessels are suitable for a wide range of fishing environments, including small ponds, large lakes, rivers, and sheltered ocean bays.
Life jacket
If you use a boat, paddleboard, kayak, or other vessel for fishing, there must be a USCG-approved wearable life jacket on board for each person. When space is a concern, you can bring an inflatable life jacket. If you bring a pet, consider purchasing a dog life jacket for additional safety.
Life raft
A life raft is an excellent option for fishing. Small models are ideal for solo excursions, while larger models are suitable for more social outings — just make sure you do not overload the raft.
Rod holder
A rod holder is a convenient device that lets you securely fasten your rod to your boat while waiting for a bite. If you are interested in trolling, a rod holder will be invaluable.
Rod rack
A rod rack is not the same as a rod holder. You might not need a rod rack when first starting out, but as you collect more and more fishing rods, it will come in handy. This item provides safe storage for your fishing rods. It can be something portable that holds just a few rods or an item that is permanently mounted to showcase your collection.
Tackle bag
In fishing, the tackle is your gear. To organize and transport your gear, you need a tackle bag. The best model will be large enough to fit all your gear, durable, and waterproof. While pockets are important, don’t overlook tray compartments. These allow you to stash important items, such as a fly fishing box.
FAQ
Is fishing hard?
A. Fishing is not hard. A beginner can enjoy the activity on their first outing. Catching a fish, however, may require patience and strategy.
Is fishing expensive?
A. That is up to you. If you are just interested in trying out the activity to see if it is right for you, you could easily get everything you need for under $100. However, if you want to take your hobby to the next level and get the best gear, and you go out on a lake or in the ocean, you could easily spend thousands of dollars a year.
Can I fish year-round?
A. In some states, it may be possible to fish year-round for certain species. However, in general, there are seasons and limits per season that restrict what you can catch and when. It is best to check state regulations to learn what limits and restrictions are in your region.
Does my child need a fishing license?
A. In most states, children under 16 do not need an adult fishing license. However, they may need a youth fishing license. Since the rules vary from state to state, it is best to verify this information with your state’s fish and wildlife commission.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — The mother of a Walmart employee who was shot and wounded by a former co-worker inside a Walmart store in Indiana says the gunman had repeatedly threatened to kill her daughter.
Jenny Couch told WFIE-TV that her daughter, 28-year-old Amber Cook, was targeted by Ronald Ray Mosley II because he was in love with her boyfriend. When the boyfriend told Mosley that he wasn’t interested in him romantically, Mosley became angry with Cook and threatened to kill her, she said.
“He kept sending my daughter messages, anonymous, everything. He kept calling her, telling her that he was going to kill her, that he watched her walk her dog,” Couch told the Evansville station Friday.
According to the Evansville Police Department, 25-year-old Mosley walked into a store break room where employees were meeting Thursday night and shot Cook in the face with a 9mm handgun. Another employee escaped the room and called 911. Law enforcement officers responded within minutes and fatally shot Mosley. There were about 40 employees and 40 shoppers in the store at the time, but no one else was injured.
On Friday, Evansville Police Chief Billy Bolin praised as a hero a female employee who came to the victim’s aid after Mosley left the break room in pursuit of a male employee who had fled. Bolin said she called 911, moved the victim to another room, locked the door and turned out the lights before Mosley returned looking for the wounded woman.
Mosley had worked at the southwestern Indiana store until he was fired last year after being charged with four misdemeanor counts of battery in May 2022 for attacking four co-workers, Evansville police said Friday.
A probable cause affidavit in that case states Mosley told police he had issues with people at work and “lost control.” A man who was one of those victims told police that before the attack Mosley was “mad at him” because he told Mosley he had no romantic interest in him, according to the affidavit.
After the 2022 attack at the store, Mosley pleaded guilty to the battery charges, and the case was referred to Vanderburgh County’s mental health court, the county’s prosecutor, Diana Moers, said Friday. Moers said Mosley had been complying with court-ordered mental health treatment.
Couch said her daughter has life-threatening injuries after being shot in the head but described her daughter as “very strong. Strong-willed, strong-headed.” She said Cook is surrounded by loved ones at an Indianapolis hospital but is frightened.
“My little girl, laying up here, wondering if she’s even going to wake up. She’s scared to go to sleep because she’s scared that she’s not going to wake up,” Couch said.
Sgt. Anna Gray with Evansville police said Friday that the woman was in stable condition after being taken by helicopter to the hospital in Indianapolis. She said Saturday that police did not have an update on her condition.
Walmart said in a statement on Saturday that the store has not reopened.
“The store remains closed while we provide support to our associates and determine next steps. An appropriate reopening date has yet to be finalized,” the Bentonville, Arkansas-based retail giant said.
Evansville is a city of about 116,000 residents along the Ohio River, some 170 miles (275 kilometers) southwest of Indianapolis. | 2023-01-22T20:55:07+00:00 | cenlanow.com | https://www.cenlanow.com/national/ap-walmart-shooting-victims-mom-gunman-threatened-daughter/ |
BOSTON (WWLP) – The state is seeing a surge of migrants and those struggling to find housing.
On Tuesday, the Baker Administration announced the creation of a new intake center to help deal with the state emergency shelter needs. In early December, the administration plans to open up a temporary site that will stay open for at least four months.
The plan is for families to stay at the intake center for only a few days, in that time they will be able to receive housing, human services, and case management. Those eligible will be able to enroll in state benefits.
The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency will use a community center in Devens for its intake center. The center will be able to house up to 60 families, or 125 individuals, at a time.
The Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition is disappointed that many of the state’s immigrant service providers weren’t contacted by the Administration prior to this announcement. But they do welcome more emergency shelter options.
Governor Charlie Baker submitted a supplemental budget request asking the legislature for $130 million to help support the increase in demand for emergency shelters. $20 million would go to helping set up a temporary central intake shelter. That budget request is currently in House Ways and Means. | 2022-11-23T20:44:10+00:00 | wwlp.com | https://www.wwlp.com/news/massachusetts/massachusetts-emergency-shelter-to-be-set-up-in-devens/ |
NEW YORK (AP) — Three men convicted in a post-9/11 terrorism sting have been ordered freed from prison by a judge who deemed their lengthy sentences “unduly harsh and unjust” and decried the FBI's role in radicalizing them in a plot to blow up New York synagogues and shoot down National Guard planes.
Onta Williams, David Williams and Laguerre Payen — three of the men known as the “Newburgh Four" — were “hapless, easily manipulated and penurious petty criminals" caught up more than a decade ago in a scheme driven by overzealous FBI agents and a dodgy informant, U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon said in her ruling Thursday.
“The real lead conspirator was the United States,” McMahon wrote in granting the men's request for compassionate release, effective in three months.
She said that it was “heinous” of the men to agree to participate in what she called the government's "made for TV movie.” But, the judge added, "the sentence was the product of a fictitious plot to do things that these men had never remotely contemplated, and that were never going to happen.”
She excoriated the government for sending “a villain” of an informant "to troll among the poorest and weakest of men for ‘terrorists’ who might prove susceptible to an offer of much-needed cash in exchange for committing a faux crime.”
The U.S. attorney’s office declined to comment on the judge’s decision. A message seeking comment was sent to the FBI.
Citing concerns for the men's health and her own qualms about the case, McMahon cut the 25-year mandatory minimum sentences she imposed on them in 2011 to time served plus 90 days. She said that would allow time for probation officials to prepare and for Payen's lawyer to line up supportive housing for the man, who has a severe mental illness.
“We are tremendously pleased that our clients are on their way home -- even if it’s fourteen years too late,” said Amith R. Gupta, part of a group of lawyers representing Payen and the Willamses, who are not related. Gupta in his statement described the three as destitute men “entrapped for their race, religion, and working-class backgrounds by a government looking to spread fear of Muslims and justify bloated budgets.”
Kathy Manley, who represented Payen, said the prosecution “should never have happened, but now at least the men will soon be out of prison.” Samuel Braverman, who represented Payen at trial, called the ruling “incredibly brave and just.”
The fourth man, James Cromitie, wasn't part of the compassionate release request and is expected to complete his prison sentence in 2030.
Payen, Cromitie and the Williamses were arrested in 2009, during a period of heightened public and law enforcement concern about the threat of terror strikes hatched within the U.S. by supporters of foreign extremists.
Officials portrayed Cromitie as the ringleader of a “chilling plot” among “extremely violent men” loyal to a Pakistani terrorist group — though the government later decided not to present any evidence about foreign terrorist organizations at trial. A court complaint described him as a man seething with anti-American and antisemitic sentiment and eager to translate those feelings into bloody action.
Prosecutors said the defendants had spent months scouting targets and securing what they thought were explosives and a surface-to-air missile, aiming to shoot down planes at the Air National Guard base in Newburgh, New York, and blow up synagogues in Riverdale, a heavily Jewish part of the Bronx. They were arrested there after allegedly planting bombs that were, in fact, packed with inert explosives supplied by the FBI.
From the start, relatives said the four were men who were down on their luck after doing prison time.
The men’s lawyers soon raised questions about entrapment — a legal defense that argues that people were enticed into illegal conduct they wouldn’t have otherwise committed.
The defense lawyers said federal informant Shaheed Hussain tried to stir up the men with rhetoric and went on to choose the targets, offer hefty payment, buy the defendants groceries, and provide the fake bombs and missile. The defense portrayed Hussain as a self-serving manipulator who was trying to please the government after his own, unrelated fraud conviction.
Jurors deliberated for eight days before convicting the men in 2010. Three years later, they lost an appeal.
A possible phone number for Hussain rang unanswered Thursday night.
Hussain also worked with the FBI on other stings, including one that targeted an Albany pizza shop owner and an imam — and involved a loan using money from a fictitious missile sale. Both men, who said they were tricked, were convicted of money laundering and conspiring to aid a terrorist group.
A few years later, Hussain was in the public eye again when a stretch limo crashed in rural Schoharie, New York, killing 20 people. Hussain owned the limo company, operated by his son Nauman Hussain.
After it emerged that the limo had failed a safety inspection a month before the crash and that the slain driver didn't have a commercial license, Nauman Hussain was charged with criminally negligent homicide and manslaughter. His lawyer blamed a repair shop for the vehicle's problems and said his client was being treated like a scapegoat.
Nauman Hussain was convicted this May and is serving five to 15 years in prison.

Jeffrey Epstein's confidant Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted of sex trafficking, has been transferred to a low-security federal prison in Florida to serve out a 20-year sentence.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed the move, which was said to have been carried out on Friday, according to a source on Maxwell's defense team, ABC News reported.
60-yea-old Maxwell was convicted of conspiring with Epstein to recruit minors to abuse them.
Maxwell was assigned to Tallahassee FCI, described on their website as a "low security federal correctional institution with a detention center."
Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to prostitution charges and was later indicted on federal sex trafficking charges in 2019. It was later officially determined that he died by suicide while in prison some weeks later. | 2022-07-25T19:59:30+00:00 | fox17online.com | https://www.fox17online.com/news/national/ghislaine-maxwell-sent-to-floria-low-security-federal-prison-to-serve-20-year-sentence |
Arizona will ride rare momentum into Saturday’s game against Cal in the Pac-12 opener for both teams in Berkeley, Calif.
The Wildcats (2-1) are coming off a 31-28 victory over FCS No. 1 North Dakota State and have doubled their win total from last season. Arizona’s only triumph in 2021 was a 10-3 decision against Cal, which had to leave several key players at home due to COVID-19.
Cal (2-1) is close to full strength this time around, although it is still smarting from a tough 24-17 loss at Notre Dame. Bears coach Justin Wilcox was still answering questions this week about a controversial offside call that led to the Fighting Irish’s first touchdown.
“I don’t even know how to respond to that one,” Wilcox said.
Cal will try to move forward with a solid defense led by inside linebackers Jackson Sirmon and Oluwafemi Oladejo, who have combined for 60 tackles. The Bears are allowing 17 points per game, but Arizona’s offense might be the best they have seen so far.
The leader of Arizona’s revamped roster is Washington State transfer quarterback Jayden de Laura, who added a new element to his game last week. Reluctant to run in the first two games, de Laura ran 10 times for 50 yards while also completing 20 of 28 passes for 229 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions.
“We’re not really (a run-pass-option) team, but we’re able to use the quarterback in the running game, and I think (de Laura) does a good job of ball-handling,” Arizona coach Jedd Fisch said. “He’s a creative kid. So he does all sorts of things.”
Cal has been modest on offense, averaging 23.7 points behind quarterback Jack Plummer, whose brother, Will, is a backup QB for Arizona. Jack Plummer has completed 67 of 111 passes for 730 yards with five TDs and two interceptions.
The Wildcats have scored more than 30 points twice this season after doing so once last year.
Arizona has won six in a row against the Bears, who enter the game with a five-game overall home winning streak.

Discussion about the debt limit was nearly absent when Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell joined the Republican Study Committee’s (RSC) weekly lunch on Capitol Hill Wednesday.
Members of the largest conservative caucus in the House said as they left the lunch that Powell mostly fielded questions about inflation, interest rates and the health of banks in the aftermath of the Silicon Valley Bank collapse.
“[Powell] just said it’s important that debts matter; deficits matter; for us to work collectively to get our spending to be at or below our revenue growth,” Republican Study Committee Chair Kevin Hern (R-Okla.) said after the meeting.
Hern added that there was no message from Powell expressing concern about the fallout from a default.
“We’re gonna pay our debts. I think it’s obvious that when you are the currency of the world, you cannot not pay your debt holders. That would be a prescription for disaster,” Hern said.
The lack of focus on the debt limit comes as Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is trying to pull President Biden to the negotiating table to secure spending cuts and policy concessions as a condition of voting to raise the debt limit. Biden, meanwhile, has called on Congress to pass a “clean” debt ceiling increase without strings attached.
Each leader has accused the other of inching toward financial catastrophe in the event of a default or last-minute action. The debt limit is expected to be reached sometime this summer.
The lack of focus on the debt ceiling from Powell is notable given his comments on the topic nearly two months ago.
“No one should assume that the Fed can protect the economy from the consequences of failing to act in a timely manner,” Powell said in February.
“There is only one way forward here, and that is for Congress to raise the debt ceiling, so that the United States government can pay all of its obligations.”
The Fed chairman declined to speak to reporters after the RSC meeting on Wednesday.
According to a source in the room, Powell said multiple times: “We’re committed to bringing inflation down with as little damage as possible.”
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) asked about protecting community banks in the aftermath of the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, according to the source, and Powell said that there is no need to panic, no need to cause bank runs, that things are calming down and depositors need to be reassured that their deposits are safe.
“That requires careful thought on the part of legislators,” Powell said, according to the source. | 2023-03-29T20:39:16+00:00 | kdvr.com | https://kdvr.com/hill-politics/debt-limit-barely-discussed-in-powell-meeting-with-house-gop-members/ |
A Curated Resource of Highly Qualified and Diverse Female Executives Ready to Serve on a Corporate Board
LOS ANGELES, March 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- 50/50 Women on Boards™ (50/50WOB), the leading nonprofit education and advocacy campaign driving the movement toward gender balance and diversity on corporate boards, announced the launch of 50 Women to Watch for Boards, a curated list of board-ready women across North America that corporations can leverage for future board positions. This groundbreaking initiative for board service will help close the gender gap on corporate boards by recognizing the most highly qualified female talent whose experience and skills make them ready to serve on a public company board.
In celebration of International Women's Day, 50/50WOB will begin accepting nominations today. Women not currently serving on a public company board, and located in Canada, Mexico, and the United States may nominate themselves, or be invited to nominate themselves, by providing a detailed overview of their experience.
An exclusive committee of stock exchange leaders and board directors will decide the finalists including Maria Ariza, CEO of BIVA, Irene Chang Britt, Committee Chair of Brighthouse Financial and Victoria's Secret, Gilbert F. Casellas, Board of Directors of Prudential Financial, Michelle Collins Board Director of Ulta Beauty Inc., Gabriella Halasz-Clarke, VP, Governance Solutions at Nasdaq, Sandra Beach Lin, Board of Directors at American Electric Power and Avient, Patricia Mulroy, Board of Directors of Wynn Resorts, Tanya Rowntree, Global Head of Client Success of TMX Group and James D. White, Board Chair of The Honest Company.
Diversity and inclusion are essential for good governance, and more women at the table, leads to better decision-making, improved financial performance, and a stronger, more sustainable business. However, as of December 31, 2022, women of color make-up only 7% of the total board seats of Russell 3000 companies and 463 companies have only one or zero women on their boards. It is clear that more needs to be done to ensure that women are given equal opportunities to serve in leadership positions.
"Many corporate board leaders claim they struggle to identify qualified female candidates when filling board seats," said Heather Spilsbury, Chief Operating and Marketing Officer of 50/50 Women on Boards (50/50WOB). "To address this issue and ensure that the next generation of female executives have the opportunity to be recognized as board candidates, the 50 Women to Watch for Boards list will provide a comprehensive resource for companies seeking to diversify their boards, making it easier for them to find female board of directors. Additionally, the list will showcase the inspiring achievements of the selected executive women."
The 50 Women to Watch for Boards list is sponsored by Mastercard®. Finalists will receive unparalleled public exposure and visibility to help catapult their board careers including public recognition through multiple online channels and partnerships.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Germany's foreign minister said Friday that estimates show the Baltic Sea can produce “more than twice the installed capacity of all German coal-fired power stations” as the country works to meet climate change targets and to wean itself off of Russia-supplied energy.
In a video message ahead of a meeting in Denmark's capital, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said Germany wants to hasten the expansion of wind power produced in the Baltic Sea.
The countries around the Baltic Sea “need to set the sails, work together and set course towards making our region more sustainable, more resilient and more secure," Baerbock said.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholtz has said Germany remains committed to ending its greenhouse gas emissions by 2045, the earliest of any major industrialized nation. To meet the goal, his government has said it would close coal-fired power plants that were reactivated during the war in Ukraine, end imports of Russian oil and coal this year and aim to stop using Russian gas within the next two years.
The potential for the Baltic Sea “is enormous,” Baerbock said. “The European Commission estimates that the Baltic Sea could potentially produce more than 90 gigawatts in wind energy. That is more than twice the installed capacity of all German coal-fired power stations.”
“Wind energy from the Baltic Sea will help us fight the climate crisis. And it is an investment in our security: it will help make us less dependent on gas from Russia,” Baerbock said.
On July 1, Germany assumed took over the presidency of the Council of the Baltic Sea States for one year. The intergovernmental forum for regional cooperation consists of the European Union and 10 member nations: Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland and Sweden.
Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the council suspended Russia from its activities. Moscow later said it had decided to withdraw from the council, saying the organization was turning into “an anti-Russian tool."
Denmark is scheduled to hold a meeting next week on the Baltic Sea island of Bornholm to discuss ways “to make the Baltic Sea region free of Russian energy and at the same time pave the way for a significant green transition,” according to the Danish government.
Those expected to attend include the president of the European Union's executive commission, Lithuania's president, the prime ministers of Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Finland and Denmark, and several energy ministers.

If you ask any Christmas-obsessed person what’s on their holiday bucket list, a visit to Europe’s famed festive markets is likely to come up. And that’s what Viking seems to be banking on with its new lineup of yuletide-themed river cruises; these take travelers along some of the continent’s most famous rivers and stop at Christmas markets along the route.
The cruise line is currently offering eight different Christmas river cruises — including one in the U.S. — with itineraries starting (or ending) in the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands and Switzerland. Some of the cruises stop in as many as four countries in a sailing, and trip lengths range from eight to 12 days. The starting rates on the trips vary by itinerary but range from $2,299 to $3,999 per guest at the low end.
Viking’s European Christmas cruises each hit multiple charming markets. They allow travelers to either stroll and shop at their leisure or stick with a locally based tour guide who can provide insights into daily life in the city and illuminate some of its history.
The Christmas markets typically offer artisan-made items that include holiday decor, sweets, drinks (including a beloved hot mug of gluhwein) and foods. Another perk — or downside, depending upon whom you ask — of Viking cruises is that nobody under 18 is allowed on the voyages.
These open-air markets are typically packed with locals manning the quaint wooden booths that line the streets and browsing the wares as their own long-running holiday tradition. Some Christmas markets even have rides or outdoor skating rinks. Nearly all will have impressive trees that make unforgettable selfie backdrops.
One eight-day cruise travels from Basel, Switzerland, to Amsterdam, Netherlands (or vice-versa, if you board the reverse sailing), along the Rhine River, also stopping at markets in France and Germany along the way. Another eight-day option from Budapest, Hungary, to Regensburg, Germany, takes passengers along the Danube River, with a two-day stop in Vienna, Austria, being a major highlight.
One epic option lasts 12 days and travels from Paris, France, to Zurich, Switzerland. It makes several stops at bustling markets in Germany, as it sails on both the Rhine and Moselle Rivers.
If a French Christmas sounds the most enticing, Viking has also launched a cruise that does an eight-day loop along the Seine. This cruise starts and ends in Paris, with stops at charming markets in French towns along the river.
Meanwhile, if international travel sounds like too much to cram into your already packed holiday schedule, Viking also has a Christmas cruise on the Mississippi River. It goes from Memphis, Tennessee, to New Orleans, Louisiana over eight days and includes privileged after-hours access to Graceland while it’s decorated for the holidays.
Check out Viking’s full list of Christmas-themed river cruises to get details on each itinerary and find out how to book passage.

NEW YORK – With London's stages closed for much of the pandemic, Mark Rylance — one of the theater's most soulful actors and a leading interpreter of Shakespeare — made six films.
They span a wide gamut. A tech billionaire in Adam McKay's apocalypse satire “Don't Look Up.” Satan in Terrence Malick's upcoming “The Way of the Wind.” Luca Guadagnino's “Bones & All." A tailor in the chamber-piece thriller “The Outfit.” Rylance even acted for free in a student film.
Rylance also starred in a quirky and charming sports movie: Craig Roberts' “The Phantom of the Open,” which Sony Pictures Classics releases Friday in theaters. The 62-year-old actor stars as real-life amateur golfer Maurice Flitcroft, a former shipyard crane operator of modest golfing skill whose persistence in entering the British Open earned him the reputation as the world’s worst golfer. To Rylance, Flitcroft — a kind of folk hero to imperfection — stood for irrational dreams and amateur pluck.
Rylance has long seen acting in sports terms. He compares his own instinct for it to how a professional soccer player is drawn to kicking a ball. Golf isn't really his sport, though. Courses in tightly populated urban settings, he thinks, should be turned into parks. Rylance prefers volleyball, which he plays as a pre-show warm-up with castmates to prepare for the improvisations of a play.
“All acting is basically passing a ball of energy of some kind between people,” Rylance said in a recent interview by Zoom.
And for Rylance, the hurly burly of theater — “a dance with the audience,” he calls it — has always most propelled him as an actor. Rylance is currently in the midst of a 16-week run revival of “Jerusalem," reprising his defining role as Johnny “Rooster” Byron in Jez Butterworth’s Tony-winning play about a clash between outsiders and authorities and a soon-to-be bulldozed encampment.
On his day off from the stage, Rylance reflected on “The Phantom of the Open,” “Jerusalem” and his still-evolving relationship to film acting.
___
AP: You had acted in films before Steven Spielberg's “Bridge of Spies” but that 2015 movie began a new chapter in movies for you, and raised your profile in Hollywood. How has your relationship to film work changed since then?
RYLANCE: For someone who loves acting to be in a play where I’m acting for three hours and in the company of the actors for five and a half, six hours — because there’s a two hour vocal warm-up, there’s lovely games of volleyball, there’s all the fun of a social dressing room, because I don’t cut myself off. It’s a society that’s just so much fun. Whereas film, now even more with COVID, you’re just locked in a caravan. The more famous you get, at least in America, the less confident crew people are to talk with you, or even look you in the eyes. It’s weird. And you get maybe one take, two if you’re lucky. I adore watching films. I just adore watching films. Most evenings I will watch something. I’m still discovering things. Joel Coen has just introduced me to De Sica’s films and that’s led me to rediscover Sophia Loren who I had only seen in English-speaking films. It, of course, wasn’t her first language so you got a muffled version of her. But when you see her in the De Sica films like “Two Women” or “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow,” she is just diamond.
AP: You made six films during the pandemic. Was that so you could keep acting while theaters were closed?
Rylance: Yes, partially. I guess I was available. Also it was just a series of scripts that came in that I really liked, including some students that wanted to make a 15,000-pound film in Gloucester. I thought: “What the hell, that sounds like fun. I’m not doing anything.” I think I’m getting better at it. I still want to be doing less. I still look at (Robert) Mitchum and Steve McQueen and many, many others, many women, too, and admire how little they do, how much they trust the story. Maybe in Mitchum’s case he can’t give a (expletive) really and that can be quite a helpful thing, actually. It makes you quite magnetic. I can’t do that. I do care about the films that I’m in. When I watch “The Outfit" or the little bits I've seen of “Bones," I still want him to do less. I still want me to hold more cards to my chest, not play quite as expressively as I do.
AP: What attracted you to “The Phantom of the Open”?
RYLANCE: Oh, the screenplay. The story. The fact that it’s a true story. He reminded me a bit of Jimmy Stewart’s character in “It’s a Wonderful Life,” in that he had done so much to encourage and help other people. And there was a bit of Don Quixote in him, too. The way he just never accepted other people’s opinions of himself. He would hear their opinion and then think, “Well, they must be crazy. I know who I am and I know what I did today.” I found that very charming and I thought if I could just get a little bit of that. I mean, I do have quite a bit of that. I’m not overwhelmed by trying to please other people, but I do hold criticism to heart, particularly if it’s correct.
AP: Some might have interpreted Flitcroft as more of a trickster or con-artist but you portray him sincerely.
RYLANCE: Well, go on YouTube and check it out. There’s a wonderful morning interview he did and I must have watched it 150 times looking for that: “You can’t really be serious. You must be taking the piss.” But I can’t find a crack in his sincerity and his self-belief. I can’t see a wink or a twinkle that suggests he’s taking a piss. All actors have their own indigenous fool or clown. My clown is a particularly sincere fool. That’s something I have access to and have used. That’s partly what I bring to the squad.
AP: Why is that your personal clown?
RYLANCE: I’m sincere and I’m a fool. (Laughs) It’s as simple as that. My family regularly laughs at my foolishness, my sincere foolishness. And my foolish sincerity but that’s the more tragic side of my character.
AP: You’ve said that you might like to keep returning to Rooster in “Jerusalem" every decade. Why?
RYLANCE: I had the good fortune to return to Hamlet a number of times in my life. At 16, at 28, 29, 30, 31 — those were quick returns — and then again at 40. Gradually, my understanding of Act I decreased and of Act V increased. I read about older actors and actresses before there was filmed acting work. If they came up on a performance, a play that was natural to them, or struck the pulse of the nation, they would revive it. I always imagined that a film star, like Jimmy Stewart in “A Wonderful Life,” would have been reviving that every few years in the way we revive it by watching it at Christmas time. I was interested to do that with “Jerusalem.” There was a little bit of risk that it would be bound by its own time. But the state and corporate control of humanity has only gotten worse in the last 10 years, and the hunger of the public for their indigenous soul in their wildness and connection with animals and plants and all the things we are undeniably connected to but the corporate world and the state world would like us to rely on patented solutions to our needs — that situation is even stronger now. I fear probably 10 years from now it will be same, it will be even worse.
AP: Was playing Rooster again like putting on an old sweater or do you go through your process all anew?
Rylance: We had five weeks rehearsal. We had eight or nine new members of the cast, and the people returning are all different. We’re all different. It’s not like a reprint of the film. It’s a live event. It’s like preparing an English football team for a season. You’re not just aiming for one take that can then be used. You have to create it live every evening, the way Miles Davis and the great jazz artists never just played what they played last night. I mean, I’m aware of how much I’ve learned in the last 10 years. I actually feel stronger vocally and physically and psychologically then I did 10 years ago.
AP: Why is that?
RYLANCE: Grief. Loss. A lot of work, a lot of life. I’m 62 now. You get older and you see more the essential patterns going on and you differentiate between what’s essential and not.

WASHINGTON — The New York Rangers have begun the machinations necessary if a trade for Patrick Kane were to materialize.
New York received minor leaguer William Lockwood and a 2026 seventh-round draft pick for Kravtsov in what’s essentially a salary dump. More will come off the cap Sunday when Leschyshyn is either claimed by another team or clears waivers and is sent to the minors.
An injury to defenseman Ryan Lindgren during the Rangers’ game at Washington also could make room. Lindgren took a hard hit into the boards with his left shoulder first and did not return.
If Lindgren is expected to be out for more than 10 games and 24 days, he could be placed on long-term injured reserve.

Alpha's unique vehicle system includes dimensionally adjustable chassis, interchangeable power components, interchangeable interior components, interchangeable subsystem components, interchangeable user interface control system, interchangeable body modules enabling vehicle variants, and other patented methodologies, designs, and sustainable industrial practices.
The Alpha lineup encompasses multiple categories for the consumer market – including Utility, Sport, and Adventure Series vehicles. Alpha's patented modular vehicle system allows the company to rapidly create and develop a variety of EV solutions. Alpha is committed to creating the kinds of electric vehicles it believes the world has always wanted to see but that have not existed – until now.
Green Economy Driven by EVs
On a global scale, gasoline-powered vehicles contribute massively to the deterioration of our planet's atmosphere and are not sustainable as we move towards a net zero green economy. Alpha believes that the electrification of cars is the way forward, offering significant savings in fuel, maintenance, and overall ownership costs, compared to gasoline vehicles. Alpha's vision to Move Humanity places focus on sustainability with an emphasis on the impact on consumers. Alpha is convinced that the decisions involving sustainability should consider accountability and values that stand the test of time.
In order to move the needle forward on mass adoption trends, it is Alpha's observation that the current market is lacking in stylish, affordable, and functional EV options, and the company is striving to fill the void.
The EV Advantage
Alpha's technology is backed by a level of experience and expertise that we believe is rare to the emerging EV industry. Alpha's Leadership and Advisory Board carries an impressive track record of scaling business growth for top EV companies including Tesla. They believe in Alpha's potential to become a highly influential brand and will further support the company to achieve significant milestones.
Through decades of automotive research and technical development, company founder, Edward Lee, a multi-award-winning American automotive designer, has worked with some of the world's most well-known automobile manufacturers including Toyota, Lexus, and Audi. Mr. Lee has been recognized by The Center for Leadership at CSU Fullerton for "Excellence in Executive Leadership in Innovation" and was named "Most Motivational Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Chairperson (USA)" by CEO Monthly.
Designed in California with U.S. Manufacturing Power
Since being introduced to the market, Alpha's designs have caught the attention of consumers and industry experts. In 2021, the company's Wolf Electric Truck was exhibited in concept form to the public at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles and has remained on display by popular demand until very recently. This exhibition marked the successful completion of Alpha's proof-of-concept stage generating over 9,600 initial preorder indications for Wolf Electric Truck series alone.
Combining proprietary technology, patented design, and a differentiated go-to-market strategy led by the company's most popular vehicles, Alpha believes it may be poised for international distribution with an end goal of streamlining mass market delivery starting in 2025. At present, the company is actively working towards mass production and is experiencing overwhelming demand, having received a total of over 52,500 vehicle preorder indications to date.
Alpha expects its total production capacity to swiftly fulfill market demand. Separately, Alpha has distribution agreements in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia for 3,150 cars annually, which is in addition to the 52,000 vehicle preorder indications by the direct consumers. That figure is expected to increase on a yearly basis and not representative of Alpha's projected total production capacity. The company also anticipates economic and capital advantages from lean manufacturing operations, tax credits, and government-backed incentives to boost EV sales.
Alpha has formed OEM-level strategic partnerships in the U.S. including UHI, which has a 406,000 sq. ft vehicle manufacturing plant based in Sterling Heights, Michigan. Moreover, Alpha has secured multiple patents, which protects proprietary design, patented technology, and development process to streamline expansion. Alpha believes that this unique advantage may enable the company to swiftly fulfill market demand and gain market share.
Move Humanity Together!
From its early inception, Alpha has caught the attention of consumers and industry experts alike, winning awards for its designs and amassing substantial preorder demand. As the company moves to become a leader in the EV industry, Alpha plans to focus on successful commercialization and expansion well into the future with its diverse, differentiated, and accessible vehicle solutions.
Simply put, Alpha builds cars for the wellness of people and to bring focus to a greener economy. Alpha is a new American EV brand, producing some of the market's most in-demand electric vehicle solutions, and the company looks forward to Moving Humanity.

Once a cop, always a cop; I’ve been one since 1987. The badge I carried for 30 years, and what it represents, are important to me.
That’s why I support S1991, the bill that addresses qualified immunity, the judge-made legal doctrine that makes it impossible for people to successfully sue the officers who violated their rights. Under qualified immunity, courts require plaintiffs to not only show that their civil rights have been violated, but also to identify a prior case with facts that are nearly identical to the ones in their own case. So even in cases where the court finds a plaintiff’s rights were violated, a lawsuit could be dismissed because the plaintiff is unable to pinpoint an identical violation from a prior case.
Qualified immunity claims to protect officers who have to make split-second decisions in difficult and dangerous situations. I have been there in those moments, so I understand why – and agree – that officers need protections. But it’s important for my fellow officers to know that judges and juries already tend to defer to our discretion, even without qualified immunity. Those split-second decisions will be assessed on their own merits, and litigation only goes to trial after a judge has determined that an action was unreasonable.
People are also reading…
Because of the way qualified immunity is interpreted, it prevents even the most egregious cases from being heard in civil court. As a police officer, I always approached my job by putting myself in the position of the people I took an oath to serve and protect. I know that if someone I love was harmed or killed, I would want the chance to understand what happened, and I think everyone deserves that resolution.
But there’s an important corollary point to this too, which is that, as an officer, if there were an allegation that I had violated someone’s civil rights, I wouldn’t want it quashed. I would want it aired in the light of day so that I would be cleared of the charge, rather than having the question hang over me for the rest of my career and people not know where the truth lies.
As an officer who oversaw internal investigations in officer misconduct for many years, I know the difference between reasonable and unreasonable decisions. Detaining protestors without suspicion, warrant, or cause is not reasonable. Nor is pepper-spraying someone for refusing to show identification.
Before I retired, I was the deputy chief-in-charge of community relations for the Rochester Police Department. This particular position was created by the mayor to boost connection between citizens and officers. One of my primary responsibilities was to go into the community and have conversations. This role reinforced what I had long suspected: communities need to trust the police in order for us to be able to help keep them safe.
Ending qualified immunity will help us restore our relationships by providing much-needed accountability to policing – if people know that there will be ramifications if an officer acts unreasonably, they’re more likely to start trusting us again. Furthermore, it will force police departments across the state to not only screen candidates for the academy more carefully, but also properly and adequately discipline officers who violate community trust through misconduct.
S1991, which currently sits on the desks of lawmakers in Albany, is a good thing for police officers. Ending qualified immunity would ensure that the courts answer the most important question in these cases: Has a constitutional violation occurred? Addressing this question would help teach officers what is and what is not within the bounds of the law.
This bill is also good for police because it indemnifies officers, meaning they won’t have to pay out of their own pocket, as some are required to do now. This ensures that if a plaintiff wins, they actually receive their award and it reflects that, sometimes, these are not just failures of an individual officer and that our agencies have a role to play in upholding the Constitution.
Naysayers argue that, without qualified immunity, officers will be unwilling to do their job. I don’t think that’s true. And the statistics agree. Decent cops do the right thing. They don’t need qualified immunity.
As peace officers, we can and should be pillars of the community. We must set an example by implementing real systems of accountability. Ending qualified immunity is a great way to start building those systems.
Deputy Chief Wayne Harris (Ret.) served for 30 years with the Rochester Police Department. He is the current chair and a speaker for the Law Enforcement Action Partnership (LEAP), a nonprofit group of police, prosecutors, judges, and other law enforcement officials working to improve the justice system. | 2022-05-09T22:17:22+00:00 | buffalonews.com | https://buffalonews.com/opinion/viewpoints-do-away-with-qualified-immunity-says-this-retired-cop/article_e860a518-cfd6-11ec-a639-67a96778d04a.html |
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s former defense minister and coast guard chief were arrested Saturday over their alleged involvement in covering up facts and distorting the circumstances surrounding North Korea’s killing of a South Korean fisheries official in 2020 near the rivals’ tense sea border.
The arrests came as the government of conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol expands investigations into the 2020 killing and another border incident the year before that prompted criticism that Seoul’s previous liberal administration improperly appeased the North to improve ties.
The Seoul Central District Court said it granted prosecutors’ requests for arrest warrants on former Defense Minister Suh Wook and former Coast Guard Commissioner General Kim Hong-hee because it saw them as threats to destroy evidence or flee. The opposition liberal Democratic Party, which claims the investigations are being driven by Yoon’s political vendetta against his predecessor Moon Jae-in, had no immediate comment on the arrests.
The Seoul Central District Prosecutors Office had been investigating Suh and Kim for suspected abuse of power and falsifying documents related to the 2020 case. It said Suh faces an additional allegation of destroying records.
Last week, South Korea’s Board of Audit and Inspection demanded that prosecutors investigate 20 people, including Suh and Kim, for allegedly covering up key facts related to the 2020 case.
The agency said its investigation into the Moon government’s handling of the killing revealed that officials made no meaningful attempt to rescue the 47-year-old fisheries official, Lee Dae-jun, after learning that he was drifting in waters near the Koreas’ disputed western sea boundary.
After confirming that Lee had been fatally shot by North Korean troops, officials publicly played up the possibility that he had tried to defect to North Korea, citing his gambling debts and family issues, while withholding evidence suggesting he had no such intention, the agency said.
According to the agency’s report, Suh, under the direction of Moon’s national security office, instructed an official to delete about 60 military intelligence reports related to the incident as the government delayed a public announcement of Lee’s death while debating how to explain it to the public. The agency also said the coast guard under Kim had manipulated the results of simulations of Lee’s drifting to buttress the claim that he tried to defect.
Suh and Kim didn’t answer reporters’ questions about the allegations earlier on Friday as they appeared at the court hours apart for reviews on the prosecution’s warrant requests. Lee Rae-jin, the brother of the late Lee, protested in front of the court calling for Suh and Kim’s arrests. He was held back by the court’s security staff when he tried to approach Suh as he arrived for the review.
In June, weeks after Yoon took office, the Defense Ministry and coast guard under the Yoon government reversed the Moon government’s description of the incident, saying there was no evidence that Lee had tried to defect.
In July, the National Intelligence Service filed charges against two of its former directors during Moon’s government over similar allegations, including abuse of power, destruction of public records and falsification of documents.
Yoon’s government is also investigating the 2019 forced repatriation of two North Korean fishermen despite their reported wish to resettle in South Korea.
Critics say Moon’s government never provided a clear explanation of why it sent back the two escapees back to the North to face possible execution. Kim Yeon-chul, Moon’s point person on North Korea, described the men as “atrocious criminals” who confessed to murder, and questioned the sincerity of their wish to defect.
Dozens of international organizations, including Human Rights Watch, issued a joint statement accusing Moon’s government of failing to provide due process and “protect anyone who would be at substantial risk of torture or other serious human rights violations after repatriation.” | 2022-10-22T02:30:43+00:00 | kron4.com | https://www.kron4.com/news/world/ap-international/ap-south-korea-arrests-former-top-officials-over-2020-killing/ |
DEER PARK, Texas (AP) — A chemical plant in the Houston area caught fire Friday, sending a huge plume of smoke into the sky.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office said the fire was at a Shell USA Inc. facility in Deer Park, a suburb east of Houston.
Officers received a service call just after 3 p.m. Friday to help divert traffic around the plant, Harris County Sheriff's Office spokesman Thomas Gilliland said. The city of Deer Park said in an advisory that there was no shelter-in-place order for residents.
Fire crews from the plant and nearby plants are responding, as well as the Harris County Fire Marshal's Office, who is leading the response, Gilliland said.
Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said in a tweet his agency was responding to calls about “some type of explosion.” | 2023-05-05T21:57:19+00:00 | sfgate.com | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/houston-area-shell-chemical-plant-catches-fire-18082200.php |
These Crayola coloring pages will keep your children entertained for hours
Coloring pages are a great way to keep kids entertained for hours without resorting to tech. Crayola coloring pages are perfect for young artists who want low-pressure activities. They offer just enough creative freedom to engage kids in what they’re doing without putting off kids who aren’t necessarily interested in creating their own drawings from scratch or confident enough to do so. Choosing the right Crayola coloring pages for your child’s age group and interests will help keep them entertained for longer.
What are coloring pages?
The terms “coloring pages” and “coloring books” are often used interchangeably, but there is a slight difference. Coloring books are traditionally bound, so you’ll need to cut pages out if you want to display them, plus pages are often double-sided. Coloring pages are either completely loose or bound with a weak glue, so you can easily pull them out of the book without tearing them. They’re also single-sided, so you can display all of your kids’ coloring-in if you choose. For more information, see the full guide to coloring books for kids at BestReviews.
Are Crayola coloring pages suited to kids of all ages?
You can find Crayola coloring pages for kids of all ages and adults too, but not all Crayola coloring books are suited to all ages. Standard Crayola coloring books are aimed at ages three and up. While there’s no upper age limit listed, they aren’t all that challenging so that most kids will grow out of them somewhere between ages 6 to 8. Crayola Art with Edge coloring books are aimed at an older audience of nine and up. These have smaller coloring areas, which can be more challenging to keep within the lines, paired with more grown-up designs that appeal to older kids and teenagers.

BISMARCK, N.D. (KXNET) — Bismarck is accepting applications through the month of November for its second class of the Bismarck Citizen Academy.
According to a news release, the Citizen Academy is a hands-on approach to learning about the municipal government that includes walkthroughs of facilities, conversations with city leaders and staff and unique, behind-the-scenes access to Bismarck’s 14 departments.
“The Bismarck Citizen Academy is really an ambitious, first-of-its-kind experience in the state of North Dakota,” said Bismarck Assistant City Administrator Jason Tomanek. “If you want transparency in your local government and to drink from an informational fire hose, this is the way.”
Following feedback from the program’s first class, the 2023 Citizen Academy has been expanded from eight weeks to 12 weeks, and the class size has been increased from 12 participants to 20 participants.
“What we found out with that first class is we needed to give departments more time to share their information,” said Tomanek. “The city’s operations are an involved process and in that first class, I think we found out rather quickly that we were rushing through presentations in order to get everything in. Expanding the Citizen Academy was a natural answer to that challenge.”
Residents, business owners or students in Bismarck interested in participating in the Citizen Academy must meet the following criteria to apply:
- Must be at least 18 years old
- Must be able to attend all sessions
- One participant per household allowed
- City employees wishing to apply must receive written department approval
Applications must be submitted online by 11:50 p.m. on November 30.
In December, received applications will be scored and the top 20 scores will be notified of their acceptance to the program. In the event of a scoring tie, applicants will be chosen at random.
The Citizen Academy is scheduled to begin on January 5, 2023.
The final class session will be on Thursday, March 23, 2023, followed by a graduation ceremony during the Bismarck City Commission Meeting on Tuesday, March 28, 2023.

The Ravens have reached an injury settlement with Derek Wolfe, coach John Harbaugh announced Tuesday, ending the defensive lineman’s tenure in Baltimore after just 14 games.
Wolfe, who missed all of last season with hip and back injuries, announced Monday that he underwent his second hip surgery in five months. His $2 million salary this season was fully guaranteed, and he was set to count $3.8 million against the salary cap. It’s unclear how the Ravens’ injury settlement will affect his cap figure.
After signing a three-year, $12 million contract extension in March 2021, Wolfe said he hoped to build on a strong debut season in Baltimore. But Wolfe, 32, suffered an apparent back injury in training camp last year, was designated to return in late October from injured reserve and was never healthy enough to come back.
During his appearance on a hunting podcast in March, Wolfe discussed potentially retiring, though he later tweeted that he was going to return. His wife shared on social media Monday that Wolfe underwent surgery in January on his right hip and had to wait until recently to undergo surgery on his left hip.
In an Instagram story Monday, Wolfe said he wanted to live a “normal life.” Wolfe has long dealt with injuries; he’s missed 39 games over the past nine seasons. He said on the hunting podcast that he wants to make sure he’s healthy enough to hunt after his football career is over. His young daughter has shown an interest in hunting, Wolfe said on the podcast, and he wants to make sure he’ll be able to take her.
“She’s got a little plastic bow and arrow that, when I’m out there shooting, she wants to come out and shoot, you know?” Wolfe said in March. “She wants to do everything dad’s doing. So I already know that she’s going to want to be involved in this, and it’s something she’s going to want to do. And, you know, we’ll see. Killing’s not for everybody, you know, but I love to be in the woods. I love to be in the wild. I want to bring my family into that as well.”
In 2020, Wolfe started eight of 14 games, recording 51 tackles, six tackles for loss and one sack while grading as one of the best run defenders in the league, according to Pro Football Focus. He hasn’t played since.
“We had a really good run,” defensive lineman Calais Campbell said of Wolfe on Tuesday.
He and Campbell helped build that Ravens defensive front into one of the best run-stopping units in the NFL. The Ravens allowed the eighth-fewest rushing yards in the league in 2020.
“He’s a Raven at heart,” Campbell said. “We definitely had a lot of fun together. I loved being his teammate.”
The Ravens bolstered their defensive line this offseason, bringing back Campbell, Michael Pierce and Brent Urban while drafting Connecticut defensive tackle Travis Jones in the third round. Pierce, however, was absent from the first day of mandatory minicamp Tuesday with what Harbaugh called a “personal matter.”

FLINT, MI – Rain or shine, the popular electronic music festival Flint Drop Fest is set to return to the center of downtown Flint this Saturday, Aug. 13.
The 10th annual Flint Drop Fest will be a free, 11-hour event for people of all ages who wish to celebrate electronic music, arts and culture. The fest begins at noon and goes on until 11 p.m. This year, the event areas will feature 12 main event areas with over 150 performers across the city center of downtown Flint. DJs from across the midwest such as DJ Swamp and Marvel Years will be in attendance.
Founder and Executive Director Jerin Sage said his shared dream of creating an electronic music festival was inspired by the early years of the Detroit Electronic Music Festival. The economic impact of Detroit putting a pin marker for the electronic music community worldwide was inspiring for Sage. The Flint native wanted to bring something similar to the city where the underground culture and community art surrounding the electronic music genre could be shared.
“Flint Drop Fest started off very small. We had three stages with only about 750 people showing up. Over the last 10 years, I’ve been able to grow the event to be able to attract almost 14,000 people last year,” said Sage.
Flint Drop Fest is now one of the largest events in the county, earning a nomination in 2021 for “Attraction of the Year” from the Flint and Genesee Group.
“It’s all been organic growth. We don’t have any budget or more or any money we pay for advertising,” Sage said. “We just rely on word of mouth and attraction.”
In addition to the live music, there will be food trucks, vendors, live art, engaging workshops and the hosting of yoga and belly dancing.
“We want people to just come enjoy the walk around downtown and try to make some good memories and find reasons to be able to come back to Michigan,” Sage said. “My main focus has always been to make sure Flint is known to our outside neighbors for more than just the crises we face, the hardships we face, the negative news lines and people can see our true potential.”
The event is made possible by local sponsors and stage sponsors including Greater Flint Arts Council, Main Street Rocks, Dough Bakery, Hoffman’s Deco Deli, The Loft as well as 90% of contributions from volunteer partners and donations.
Flint Drop Fest has an open-door policy when it comes to partnership, sponsorship and talent.
“We’ll be having a lot of tourists that only come to Flint for this time and a lot of people who have never been to Flint that are trying to experience what we have going on. I would just be prepared for a lot of different people and a very diverse, colorful crowd,” Sage said.

50-Gram Bar Formed Only with Ultrasonic Energy Delivers Great Taste, Texture, and an Astounding 300 Calories to the U.S. Warfighter and American Consumer
LOS ANGELES, March 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- SOUND™ Foods is relaunching its direct-to-consumer business with the introduction of its military-approved Coconut Almond bar formed only with ultrasonic energy which results in a snack bar uniquely suited to help people get through their day whether during military operations or everyday life. SOUND bars are made from a simple combination of quality ingredients and a patented process that uses high-frequency low-amplitude sound waves to develop their signature taste, texture, and "clean burn" experience.
"SOUND's technology and process of quickly and gently forming high-quality ingredients into a snack bar is an entirely new way of producing food and this Coconut Almond bar demonstrates the quality taste and texture that the technology can deliver," said Don Dillon, founder and CEO of SOUND Foods. "SOUND's patented production process is uniquely capable of producing a wide variety of products, flavors, and nutritional profiles with great taste and texture and our previous products simply did not show everything that the technology can do."
SOUND is refocusing its direct-to-consumer business to offer the exact products developed for the U.S. warfighter directly to the American consumer. "As SOUND finalized this Joint Services approved Coconut Almond bar for upcoming MRE, or Meals Ready-to-Eat programs, we asked ourselves, 'Why wouldn't we offer this exact delicious and filling snack bar to consumers?'" said David Cho, co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer of SOUND Foods. "This SOUND bar is an entirely new kind of snack bar that both dramatically improves the warfighter's eating experience in the field and also provides an amazing experience for someone snacking at home, at work, or on the go."
In creating a bar for the U.S. military using "sonic agglomeration" technology for a prototype "Close Combat Assault Ration," SOUND sought to deliver more than just a calorically dense bar, but rather a ground-breaking combination of taste, texture, and satiety in a compact and convenient form, which is exactly what the American consumer has also been waiting for. Unlike most snacks, SOUND bars provide a signature post-consumption "clean burn" experience which includes:
- Near-immediate satiation without feeling overly full or lethargic
- A higher level of mental clarity that results from eating gently formed quality ingredients
- Sustained physical energy, conducive to more active lifestyles
SOUND's Joint Services approved Coconut Almond bars are available for purchase now exclusively through www.SoundSnacking.com in a case of 12 priced at $24. SOUND has developed several additional flavors and other products for the U.S. military and will be releasing them in the upcoming weeks and months.

BEIJING (AP) — Debris from a rocket that boosted part of China’s new space station into orbit fell into the sea in the Philippines on Sunday, the Chinese government announced.
Most of the final stage of the Long March-5B rocket burned up after entering the atmosphere at 12:55 a.m., the China Manned Space Agency reported. The agency said earlier the booster would be allowed to fall unguided.
The announcement gave no details of whether remaining debris fell on land or sea but said the “landing area” was at 119 degrees east longitude and 9.1 degrees north latitude. That is in waters southeast of the Philippine city of Puerto Princesa on the island of Palawan.
There was no immediate word from Philippine authorities about whether anyone on the ground was affected.
China has faced criticism for allowing rocket stages to fall to Earth uncontrolled twice before. NASA accused Beijing last year of “failing to meet responsible standards regarding their space debris” after parts of a Chinese rocket landed in the Indian Ocean.
The country’s first space station, Tiangong-1, crashed into the Pacific Ocean in 2016 after Beijing confirmed it lost control. An 18-ton rocket fell uncontrolled in May 2020.
China also faced criticism after using a missile to destroy one of its defunct weather satellites in 2007, creating a field of debris that other governments said might jeopardize other satellites.
The July 24 launch of the Long March-5B, China’s most-powerful rocket, carried the Wentian laboratory into orbit. It was attached on Monday to the Tianhe main module, where three astronauts live.
The remains of a separate cargo spacecraft that serviced the station fell into a predetermined area of the South Pacific after most of it burned up on reentry, the government announced earlier. | 2022-07-31T08:46:11+00:00 | springfieldnewssun.com | https://www.springfieldnewssun.com/nation-world/china-says-remains-of-rocket-booster-fall-to-earth/SM2TREGJMFHX3ONOXRGQYAQZSE/ |
Which Chicco car seat is best?
With name recognition, excellent safety records and reasonable prices, Chicco car seats benefit both children and parents alike. Whether you’re buying for an infant, toddler or older child, you have plenty of options to choose from.
If you’re looking for a car seat to last from the infant stage well into childhood, the Chicco NextFit Zip Convertible Car Seat is a top choice.
What to know before you buy a Chicco car seat
Types of Chicco car seats
You’ll find a range of car seats available: infant car seats, forward-facing car seats, booster seats and convertible car seats that transform between two or more of these varieties.
- Infant car seats: These are made for babies from the newborn stage up to around 1-2 years old, depending on their height and weight. They’re suitable for rear-facing use only. You can usually attach them to compatible strollers, which some parents find useful.
- Forward-facing car seats: Forward-facing car seats face the direction of travel. They’re suitable for older babies, once they can sit independently, toddlers and little kids. However, it’s safer to keep babies in rear-facing seats as long as possible.
- Booster seats: Booster seats also face forward but, instead of securing kids with a harness, you simply utilize a standard seat belt. High-backed boosters offer extra protection for kids who have outgrown car seat harnesses but aren’t ready to go without a seat.
- Convertible car seats: These convert between two or more modes. Some convert from infant car seats to forward-facing seats and others from forward-facing seats to boosters. You can find options that see children from birth to when they no longer need a booster.
Extended rear-facing
Some Chicco car seats are classed as extended rear-facing seats. They let you keep your child in the rear-facing position for as long as possible. Some accommodate kids in rear-facing mode until they reach 40 pounds, which is the weight of an average 4-year-old.
You might be wondering why you’d want to keep your child facing away from you in the car, but the answer is simple: it’s safer. In the event of a collision, less stress is put on a child’s head, neck, spine and internal organs when they’re in a rear-facing car seat. This significantly reduces the chance of injury.
What to look for in a quality Chicco car seat
Impact protection
Impact protection comes from the combination of a rigid car seat shell and energy-absorbing EPS foam. Some even have steel-reinforced frames for additional protection.
Base
Many Chicco car seats come with bases, which makes seats simpler to remove from cars or switch between vehicles. You can buy spare bases for other vehicles, so there’s no need to remove them once correctly installed. Then you just click the seat into the base to fit it back into place.
How much you can expect to spend on a Chicco car seat
While you can find some options under $200, most cost $200-$300. Expect to pay more for a greater range of features and convertible options.
Chicco car seat FAQ
Can you use a Chicco car seat without the base?
A. Yes, you can use a car seat without the base, instead using either the LATCH points in your car or a seat belt. This is handy when you want to switch between vehicles without moving the base, but it makes sense to use it when you can.
How long can a baby stay in a car seat?
A. When your baby is less than 6 months old, they shouldn’t spend more than 2 hours at a time in a car seat. If you’re going on a long car trip, you’ll need to plan for breaks. Once they’re over 6 months old and have full control of their head, it’s safe to take slightly longer journeys without stopping.
What’s the safest position for a car seat?
A. The safest position is in the rear middle seat of your car. Studies show that, in the event of a collision, babies and children seated in the center seat had a 43% lower chance of injury compared to those in the rear side seats. This is assuming that your car is laid out in such a way that you can get a snug, secure fit in the center seat.
That said, it’s still significantly safer in any rear position than it is in the front seat of a car, since passenger air bags can cause serious injuries.
What’s the best Chicco car seat to buy?

Chicco MyFit Harness + Booster Car Seat
What you need to know: With harness and seat belt options, it’s ideal for toddlers and bigger kids.
What you’ll love: The four-position recline helps keep your child comfortable, while the nine-position headrest lets the seat grow with your child. It’s suitable for toddlers from 25 pounds in the harness mode, while it works as a high-back booster for kids up to 100 pounds once they outgrow the harness.

Worth checking out
Chicco KeyFit 30 Zip Infant Car Seat
What you need to know: Suitable for babies from 4-30 pounds or 30 inches tall, this is a great choice for those who want a dedicated infant car seat.
What you’ll love: It easily clicks into the stay-in-car base and has several features, such as the RideRight bubble level, to make sure it’s fitted and angled correctly. It also fits compatible Chicco strollers to create a travel system.

BOONE, N.C., Feb. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, international Christian relief organization Samaritan's Purse accepted its first patients at the Emergency Field Hospital in Antakya, Turkey. Back-to-back earthquakes rocked the region last week, killing more than 36,000 people and leaving tens of thousands in desperate need of medical care. The Emergency Field Hospital was airlifted on Friday, along with critically needed supplies, such as hygiene kits, solar lights and shelter tarp to aid families in the hardest-hit areas.
The field hospital—equipped with 52 patient beds, a pharmacy and 2 operating rooms—is located in the parking lot of a 1,100-bed hospital, which is no longer functional due to the earthquake. Samaritan's Purse doctors and nurses treated dozens of patients in the first hours of operation.
"Our Emergency Field Hospital is now open, and our medical team has already treated earthquake injuries like broken bones, wounds and infections, said Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan's Purse. "People are suffering, and we are there to meet their physical needs in Jesus' Name. Please pray for everyone affected and for our Disaster Assistance Response Team as they meet these emergency needs."
The N.C.-based organization has 93 disaster response specialists on the ground in Turkey with more traveling to the area in the coming days.
MEDIA OPPORTUNITIES:
- Interview Nick Bechert, team lead on the ground in Turkey
- Interview Mel Wubs, hospital director of the Emergency Field Hospital, in Antakya, Turkey
- High-quality photos and broadcast quality b-roll available here
Based in Boone, North Carolina, Samaritan's Purse responds to the physical and spiritual needs of individuals in crisis situations—especially in locations where few others are working. Led by President and CEO Franklin Graham, Samaritan's Purse works in more than 100 countries to provide aid to victims of war, disease, disaster, poverty, famine and persecution.

Why are you running for Decatur City Council?
With my chosen campaign slogan, “Planning for Decatur’s future while also working to make the community better today”, I am running again for a position on the Decatur City Council to serve the citizens and local businesses to be their voice on the council and to work with them, other council members and city staff to build on our communities strengths to make Decatur an even better place to live and work.
What are the three most pressing Issues facing the City?
1. Reducing crime in the community/dealing with local street gangs
2. The city’s declining and ageing population
3. Additional Economic Development to attract new industries and businesses to create better paying jobs for the city’s present and future labor force.
If any actions can the city council take to get ahead of and reverse the neighborhood decay?
- Create new programs to encourage homeowner and renter’s pride in their individual homes and neighborhoods
- Create new inner-city financially sound homeownership programs for citizens
- Create new incentive programs funded through from the city and private investment to build affordable housing within the inner-city neighborhoods
Would you support a dedicated revenue stream when federal stimulus funds have ended?
Yes I would support a dedicated city revenue fund that would be funded by the city from the City’s General Fund, private business funds, and with both state and federal grants.
How would you like to see the city address public safety issues?
The council must take public safety issues head-on by creating a city “blue ribbon commission” that would consist of members from local law enforcement agencies, business leaders, citizens, local educators, local clergy and outside experts on crime prevention.
The commission’s main task would be to hold various town meetings throughout the community to receive public input on solutions to reduce local community crime with commission members using that information gathered to create a “blueprint” for the City Council to review and take action on.
What additional actions can the council take to address the shortage of manpower in the police department?
The problem in filling the ranks in the Decatur Police Department is a major problem that almost all law enforcement agencies around the country have been facing for several years.
City staff keeps members of the city council appraised of what the Police Department Administration is doing to find applicants who are in short supply with other Central Illinois city also offering sign-up bonuses as does the Decatur Police Department.
It would help if the Illinois General Assembly would pass more friendly law enforcement legislation that would encourage potential applicants to sign-up instead of recent legislation that has been passed that not only is driving current police officers to leave law enforcement but discourages potential new law enforcement applicants from applying for positions with the Decatur Police Department.
Should the city continue to protect the lake from erosion and sedimentation?
Absolutely! The city has spent millions of dollars collected from citizens and local businesses through higher water usage rates to fund the city’s multi-year dredging project to supply the long -term water needs of the community. City funds spent with consulting firms and other water conservation agencies are well spent.
With such a large and expensive project to undertake by the city to control and stop tons of sediment coming from thousands of farm land upstream along miles of the Sangamon River tributary from flowing into Lake Decatur the city needs to partner with as many local governments, Farm Bureaus, and Soil Conservation agencies along the river route to get them involved in the planning and contributing financially to the project because they will also benefit from the city project.
Should the council reconsider the ban on allowing a cannabis dispensary in Decatur?
Having chaired or co-chaired the Decatur Drug Free Coalition for five years where members studied the issues and problems that arose in other cities and states around the country who allowed legal recreational cannabis dispensaries to open. I stand on my original vote several years ago not to allow a legal recreational dispensary in Decatur. If I am elected I will support having a legal medical cannabis dispensary.
What actions should the council take to address the structural challenge over Police and Fire Pensions In a way that is fair to first responders and reasonable for taxpayers?
First I want to say that the city’s first responders are certainly well deserving of their city pensions that they have worked hard for and that the City of Decatur is legally obligated to see that the first responders receive their pensions when they retire.
This serious financial budget issue confronting the City of Decatur is also confronting a majority of other Illinois city governments.
For many years the city has kept its portion of its annual Property Tax Levy rate very low to ease the tax burden on citizens but in doing so the city has had to dip into the City’s General Fund to make up for the funding shortfall in the annual Property Tax revenue receipts which funds the first responders annual pension funding obligations. The City Manager recently was quoted in an H & R newspaper article that the city would have to raise the city’s annual Property Tax Levy up to 16% annually to fully fund annual pension obligation. Neither the city manager nor the present or future council members would relish doing that.
The city does not control the first responder’s pension rate that they receive. All pension rate increases are voted on and approved my members of the Illinois General Assembly with no state funds being sent to help fund the city’s pension obligations.
The challenge for the city is how does the city raise its annual Property Tax Levy to fully fund the pension obligation without causing taxpayers to riot in the street? There is no way the State of Illinois is going to help; the state can hardly pay its own pension obligations.
The Illinois General Assembly could pass legislation banning legislators from taking campaign funds from state Police and Fire Fighters Unions who ask the legislators for pension increases but that isn’t going to happen.
What policy actions would you like to see the city take to help address the economic and social divides that persist in the community?
Past city policy adoptions and programs to help low income citizens were developed by the city council when I was a former city councilmember. I encouraged the funding of home ownership, workforce investment, and business start-ups with the city working with local banks and other local agencies.
I supported the city working with the local public school district, Richland Community College and the local Workforce Investment Agency to develop new training employment programs that would train all local citizens for the skills needed for local job openings, but citizens had to step up to take advantage of the educational and training programs to better their lives.
Would I support the City Council moving to an aldermanic system?
I have studied the pros and cons of the different forms of municipal governments in Illinois and have come to the conclusion that the City of Decatur’s Council –Manager form of government where council members are elected-at-large is the best represented form of government for community citizens because of the city’s population size.
What do you enjoy most about living in Decatur?
I returned to my hometown Decatur after serving in the Vietnam War to start a new phase in my life. I not only had family and friends still living in the community but I found that Decatur was not only a great place to grow up in but also to grow old in. It offered plenty of opportunities for me to start a new career, further my educational pursuits, and to enjoy all the city’s entertainment activities that were available to me, and it still does for families and young people who want to call Decatur home.
What else would you like to share about yourself with voters?
I bring to the table as a candidate for the Decatur City Council ten years of experiences as a former city council member where I worked with citizens, the business community, my fellow council members and city staff to build on Decatur’s great assets and work together to tackle the issues that confronted the community using common sense and a realistic approach.
I will continue to take the time as a councilman to listen to citizens as I did before to hear their thoughts on how to better the city for the present and for the future while coming up with solutions to solve the new challenges that the community may face in the present and in the future. | 2023-04-01T15:03:55+00:00 | herald-review.com | https://herald-review.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/meet-the-decatur-city-council-candidates-patrick-mcdaniel/article_b5df4154-ca9d-11ed-9421-43e966fe261e.html |

It’s all done via fat-washing: Combine a spirit and any liquid fat (it need not be meat; think olive oil, coconut oil, butter, etc.) in a jar or a bottle, shake it up, let it sit for a few hours, then freeze and strain. The resulting liquor is not only infused with the flavor and scent of the ingredient, it also has a smoother, fuller-bodied texture thanks to trace amounts of fat left behind.
The technique was first popularized in 2007 by the Benton’s Old-Fashioned at New York City speakeasy Please Don’t Tell (PDT). Four Roses bourbon was washed with fat from brown-sugar-cured, hickory-smoked Benton’s bacon, combined with a little maple syrup, and served over a clear ice cube. The drink was an instant success that inspired various spinoffs — including the bacon old-fashioned at Four Humours Distilling (fourhumourswhiskey.com). Its recipe is similar to PDT’s, using Benton’s bacon fat, bourbon from Lehigh County’s Eight Oaks Farm Distillery, and housemade bitters. A scrumptious candied bacon garnish makes it worth the $20 price tag.
Founder Jonathan Anolik remembers the cocktail’s debut in 2020. “We were very, very nervous about putting it on the menu — a $20 cocktail in Olde Kensington. We had no idea how it would work,” he recalls. “We had one bottle [of bacon fat-washed bourbon] ready to rock and roll when we opened at 4 o’clock. By 5:30 we were sold out.”
The bar has kept a steady supply of bacon-infused bourbon at the ready ever since. You can swing by and order it Thursday through Sunday, or mix up a batch of your own. Anolik uses 1 1/2 ounces of bacon fat to a bottle of bourbon and lets the mixture sit for four hours before freezing for two hours and straining. “All that smoky flavor stays behind,” Anolik says.

Which deejo knives are best?
Having a bulky pocket knife may not be suitable for when you’re outdoors or even in a professional setting where you want to carry a pocket knife with you. However, bulky pocket knives tend to be more sturdy and less prone to breakage or becoming dull. Deejo knives have the strength and sharpness of bigger knives, except it’s more lightweight and very slim, making it nearly unnoticeable in your pocket. If you’re looking for a Deejo knife with authentic wood and laser engraving, the Deejo 37G is the top choice.
What to know before you buy a Deejo knife
Size
The Deejo pocket knives come in sizes of 27 or 37 grams, which are the weights of the knives. The 27g knives will be lighter, while the 37g models will be more stronger for thicker cuts. Choosing a size will depend on your preference, but both knives are durable and will be long lasting regardless of which size is chosen.
Design
There are Deejo knives that have specific patterns and finishes that allow you to choose a design to your liking. Deejo even allows you to customize certain knives with engravings and pattern designs. The custom options allow you to add certain names, phrases, and whatever combination of words and numbers you can think of that the customization tool allows. Keep in mind that the more designs and high-end finishes you choose, the more expensive the knife will be. Making a custom Deejo knife allows you to choose the size of 15g for a knife, a size that Deejo currently doesn’t offer as a non-custom product.
Materials used
Deejo knives commonly use a solid wood as a material for the handle, keeping the grip firm when in use. However, if you want more of a high-end feel, there are knives that use materials such as gold and carbon fiber in the handle. The high-end materials not only have a great look, but can be more durable throughout the years you keep these knives. The knives that use non-wood materials in the handle will cost more.
What to look for in a quality Deejo knife
This section should detail the primary features available in different models of this product, both fundamental features and optional features (upgrades). On average, expect to have 3-6 features. If there are a few key players that are synonymous with the product type (e.g. with smartphones, there is Apple and Android) — cover their key points of differentiation.
Lightweight design
Deejo knives are some of the most lightweight knives on the market. They won’t be too heavy when in your bag, pocket, or when holding it in your hand. With its slim design and weights mentioned previously, you’ll never have a problem with the knife being too heavy. And even though they are slim the blades are resistant to breakage, while still providing a sharp cut on the appropriate objects.
Foldability
Another great factor involving Deejo knives is that they’re foldable, keeping it discreet as possible when in your pockets. However, when it unfolds it has great length to it, and it’s base is strong enough that the blade will stay in place and steadily when making cuts. And when you are ready to use the knife, the knife unfolds easily with applied force. The folding mechanism built into these knives keep the knives closed shut securely when put away, but simply use your thumb to glide the knife right open.
Laser engraving
If you want to make your Deejo knife extra elegant, there are laser engraving options, so that you can add your own kind of design. There are knives that come with their own standard engraving design but you can also customize the engraving on Deejo’s website, which can make it an ideal gift for someone as a birthday present. The engravings are done by a precise laser, that won’t leave residue on the knife when you receive it, and the engravings come out neat and not unreadable.
How much you can expect to spend on Deejo knives
Deejo knives can range from approximately $70-$270, where you’ll find 27g knives from around $70-$100. The 37g knives will cost $85-$105, while Deejo steak knives will cost $235-$270.
Deejo knife FAQ
Do Deejo knives have a clip?
A. Deejo pocket knives have a small belt clip on the back of the handle that’s barely noticeable but will be strong enough to keep the knife secure on your waist.
How does a Deejo knife open?
A. You can open a Deejo pocket knife by pressing down on the top part of the knife then pushing your thumb outward and the knife will open with that motion. Be careful when opening and keep your thumb away from the edge of the blade.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s election on Tuesday, the country’s fifth since 2019, largely pits familiar faces against one another in a tight race. Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, now the opposition leader, is hoping to return to power and replace his main rival, interim Prime Minister Yair Lapid. The election is once again seen as a referendum on Netanyahu’s fitness to rule while he faces corruption charges. One new player has burst onto the scene. Far-right politician Itamar Ben-Gvir has been surging in opinion polls and could be key to lifting Netanyahu to victory.
Here’s a look at the main players:
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU
After more than a year in the opposition, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister seeks a return to power while on trial on charges of fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes. His Likud party is projected to remain the largest in the 120-seat Knesset, and he aims for a majority through support of ultra-Orthodox and ultra-nationalist allies.
Netanyahu’s campaign has focused on attacking the perceived shortcomings of the government that ousted him last year, and decrying its inclusion of an Arab party. Election polls project that his Likud party and its presumed allies are hovering close to the 61-seat parliamentary majority required to form a governing coalition.
YAIR LAPID
Israel’s caretaker prime minister took office in June after the ruling coalition he cobbled together disintegrated. He has campaigned on his government’s accomplishments in its limited time in office, including the recent maritime border deal with Lebanon.
Polls predict that Lapid’s Yesh Atid party will be the second-largest party, after Likud. It remains unclear whether he will once again be able to unite disparate parties and form a coalition instead of Netanyahu.
ITAMAR BEN-GVIR
The co-leader of the Religious Zionism party has a long history of anti-Arab rhetoric — including convictions for incitement and supporting a terrorist group. As a lawyer, he spent much of his career defending Jewish extremists in court.
His party is ardently pro-settlement in the occupied West Bank, takes an even harsher line toward Palestinians living there and has cast doubt on the loyalty of Israel’s own Palestinian minority. Many of its leaders are openly homophobic.
Ben-Gvir, heir to the outlawed racist Kach party, has pledged support for Netanyahu — and has hone so far as to promise to annul the former prime minister’s trial and to be put in charge of the country’s police force.
Religious Zionism is projected to balloon to the third-largest party in parliament, more than doubling in size since the last election and giving it a powerful voice in any Netanyahu government. In part it is buoyed by support from young ultra-Orthodox voters.
BENNY GANTZ
Israel’s defense minister joined forces with other former Netanyahu allies — including Justice Minister Gideon Saar — after the break-up of the last government. He has campaigned on the issues of national security and preventing Netanyahu from returning to power.
A campaign video released Sunday said: “We must stop the shame. We must stop the threat,” referring to the possibility of Ben-Gvir becoming a Cabinet minister. Gantz’s Machane Mamlachti is projected to win around 10 seats in parliament, which would likely make it the fourth largest.
Gantz appears to have the most crossover appeal of any of the members of the anti-Netanyahu bloc. He could become a key player in post-election coalition negotiations. | 2022-11-01T16:56:01+00:00 | wdtn.com | https://www.wdtn.com/news/ap-top-headlines/ap-israeli-election-hopefuls-a-look-at-the-main-contenders/ |
(KTLA) — Jennifer Hudson has achieved EGOT status.
The singer/ actress won her first Tony award when “A Strange Loop” won for Best Musical. Hudson is a producer on the show.
The achievement was the final trophy she needed to complete the EGOT quartet, which is comprised of an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony.
The 40-year-old won an Academy Award in 2007 for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Effie White in “Dreamgirls.” Her self-titled debut solo album won a Grammy in 2009 for Best R&B Album. She later won another Grammy in 2017 for Best Musical Theater Album for the musical “The Color Purple.”
Last year, Hudson won a Daytime Emmy for the animated short “Baba Yaga,” which she executive-produced.
Currently, there are 17 EGOT winners. | 2022-06-13T19:34:12+00:00 | myfox8.com | https://myfox8.com/news/jennifer-hudson-is-now-an-egot-winner-at-the-tony-awards/ |
No. 5 UConn is off to a dominant start this season, winning each of its nine games by double figures with an average margin of 24.2 points.
The Huskies (9-0), who will get their first road test of the season Wednesday at Florida (6-3), haven’t played this well to start a campaign since 2013-14, the year the Shabazz Napier-led Huskies won the school’s latest national championship.
“The whole mindset of our program this year is that we’ve been contending the last couple of years, contending in the Big East, contending in tournaments,” UConn coach Dan Hurley said. “Now, we’re trying to go from contenders to champions.”
UConn has posted its last four wins over KenPom Top 50 opponents, with its latest victory a 74-64 decision against Oklahoma State on Dec. 1 as part of the Big East-Big 12 Battle.
Balance has helped fuel the strong start for the Huskies. Five players are averaging nine or more points for UConn, led by 6-foot-9 forward Adama Sanogo (18.7 points per game, 6.9 rebounds per game). Through nine contests, UConn has had four different leading scorers and five different leading rebounders.
“We’re not going to be complacent,” said UConn senior point guard Tristen Newton, who is averaging 11.4 points and 4.2 assists. “A top-10 ranking isn’t what we want. We want to win games. There’s no point of being top 10 if you’re going to mess around and end up losing.
“We’re going to practice hard every day. We all want to win, and we have great depth, so I feel like we can carry it on.”
On defense, Connecticut is holding opponents to 58.7 points per game on 38.5 percent shooting from the floor.
The Gators take a two-game win streak into their matchup with the Huskies. Defense has helped spark the run. Florida held Stetson to 33.3 percent shooting in an 89-51 win over the Hatters on Sunday and has limited opponents to an average of 56.5 points and 33.9 percent shooting from the floor over its past two games.
“We can be a very good team if we guard more,” said Florida forward Alex Fudge, who had 11 points and eight rebounds while making his first start for the Gators against Stetson. “Tonight was the first night, but we’re going to keep it up, consistency. We’re going to bring it to the next game and the next game.”
The Gators’ offense has been led by center Colin Castleton (16.6 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 2.9 blocks per game), guard Will Richard (13.6 ppg, .586 from 3-point range) and guard Trey Bonham (10.2 ppg, 2.2 apg). Florida could be without starting point guard Kyle Lofton (9.6 ppg, 4.1 apg), who has sat out the past two games due to back spasms.
Florida is set to face a ranked opponent for the first time this season.
“It’s a great opportunity for us,” first-year Gators coach Todd Golden said. “If we can find a way to get this thing done, it will be another way to build confidence for a team that is learning ourselves, is learning to figure out to be the best we can be.”

TikTok on Tuesday unveiled its updated community guidelines, which the company says will focus on improving content moderation on the platform.
Some of the key changes include updating the company’s rules on how it evaluates content created or altered by AI technology and providing more details about the work it does to protect civic and election integrity.
The company also outlined steps it will take to moderate content, which include removing violative content and restricting mature content from being shown to viewers under the age of 18.
“These principles guide our decisions about how we moderate content, so that we can strive to be fair in our actions, protect human dignity, and strike a balance between freedom of expression and preventing harm,” said Julie de Bailliencourt, TikTok’s global head of product policy.
The company said that the updated guidelines will take effect on April 21.
The revised rules and standards come just days before TikTok’s CEO is scheduled to testify before Congress to address some of the national security and privacy concerns that lawmakers have been raising about the app.
Last week, the Biden administration said it would ban the app in the U.S. if TikTok’s Chinese-based parent company, ByteDance, did not sell its stake to an American company.
TikTok’s CEO Shou Zi Chew said that divesting wouldn’t solve any security concerns that the company hasn’t already addressed.
“Divestment doesn’t solve the problem, a change in ownership would not impose any new restrictions on data flows or access,” Chew said in a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal.
During a briefing call on Monday, Republican Congressional aides highlighted talking points they think the company may use to defend itself against criticism regarding the app.
The aides said to expect TikTok’s CEO to focus on “Project Texas,” which is a plan designed by the company to address security concerns by routing U.S. user traffic through Oracle’s domestic cloud servers.
They also expect Chew to argue against banning the app because of its popularity.
“They’ve clearly recognized that they can’t convince the Biden administration, the various national security agencies or Congress that TikTok is not an immediate threat to American interests and national security,” one of the aides said.
“So instead they’re pivoting to attempt to use the court of public opinion and TikTok’s popularity with younger generations to try to make it politically toxic to ban the app,” the aide added. | 2023-03-21T18:02:34+00:00 | localsyr.com | https://www.localsyr.com/hill-politics/tiktok-unveils-updated-rules-standards-ahead-of-ceos-congressional-testimony/ |

Shanghai Disney Resort, which includes Shanghai Disneyland, shopping and dining facilities, will be closed indefinitely starting on Halloween due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"We will notify guests as soon as we have a confirmed date to resume operations," the park said in a statement Monday.
The two hotels at the resort will remain open.
Affected customers will be able to choose a date to visit up to six months from the day the park and resort reopens or receive a refund.

Additionally, patrons must wear masks indoors and outdoors except when eating, social distance and undergo temperature checks.
Shanghai has had 97 cases of COVID-19 in the past 28 days, and 64,282 cases total, with 595 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University. Across China, there have been 178,178 cases and 212 deaths in the past four weeks.

Apple is expected to unveil the 14th series of its iconic and ubiquitous iPhone on Wednesday at its first in-person product launch event since before the coronavirus pandemic began.
Industry watchers also hope to see the new generations of Apple watches, AirPods and other updated versions of its hardware.
In addition to high tech advances, there is likely to be increased attention to prices this year with inflation hovering near four-decade highs. Even before the pandemic when the economy was booming, people were balking at the substantial price tags for smartphones with upgrades that don't win over owners of recent models.
In April of 2020, just as the pandemic was crushing the U.S. economy, Apple released the second-generation iPhone SE with a price tag as low as $399, a 40% markdown from the most affordable iPhone 11 unveiled last year.
Now, with 9% inflation battering Americans' household budgets, analysts wonder if consumers won't wait a little longer to upgrade phones, or pass on the earphones that can cost as much as filling up their gas tanks each month.
“Pricing is a key watch-point in a tough macro which comprises inflationary pressures and pull back in consumer spending, but we believe it matters more for wearables which are considered more discretionary purchases relative to iPhone by consumers," JPMorgan analysts wrote.
Morgan Stanley analyst Erik Woodring predicted that in addition to the iPhone 14 family of smartphones, the company would release three new Apple watch models and possibly updates to Airpods, HomePod mini and Apple TV.
Analysts at JPMorgan expect a major screen size update to the iPhone mini and a new, more rugged Apple Watch Pro as well as enhanced sound quality on the AirPods pro.
The event will be streamed from Apple's Cupertino, California headquarters starting at 10 a.m. local time. | 2022-09-07T14:57:00+00:00 | clickorlando.com | https://www.clickorlando.com/business/2022/09/07/apple-puts-on-first-in-person-event-since-start-of-pandemic/ |

RALEIGH, N.C. (WGHP) — Flags will be at half-staff in North Carolina in honor of a Marine who died in California.
All state and government flags will fly half-staff on Friday and Saturday to honor Marine Lance Corporal Jackson Forringer. Also on Friday, it was announced that flags would also fly at half-staff on Sunday in honor of National Fallen Firefighter Memorial Day.
Forringer was assigned to the 2nd Marine Regiment at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina after joining the Marine Corps in July 2021.
“Our hearts are with the family, friends and service members at Camp Lejeune as we mourn the loss of U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Jackson Forringer. We owe a deep debt of gratitude to those who keep our communities safe both here and abroad,” said Governor Roy Cooper.
Forringer died on April 20 at a Marine Corps Combat Center in Twentynine Palms, California.
According to the 2nd Marine regiment, Forringer was apparently killed by an inadvertent gun discharge while he was with other Marines in the back of a Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement.
His death was confirmed in an obituary by his parents.
Graveside services with full military honors will begin on Saturday, May 6, at Springhill Memorial Gardens located at 1011 S. Alabama Avenue in Chesnee at 4 p.m. Reverend Buddy Robbins will be officiating.
A Celebration of Life for family and friends will immediately follow the graveside service at The Bridge Church of the Carolinas located at 212 N. Alabama Avenue in Chesnee. | 2023-05-05T19:34:49+00:00 | wnct.com | https://www.wnct.com/news/military/north-carolina-flags-flying-half-staff-in-honor-of-camp-lejeune-marine-killed-in-training-exercise/ |
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nate Diaz stopped Tony Ferguson with a guillotine choke in the fourth round of the hastily arranged main event of UFC 279 on Saturday night.
The 37-year-old Diaz (21-13) finished his current UFC contract by finishing fellow veteran Ferguson (25-9) in a matchup only made on Friday after Khamzat Chimaev badly missed weight for his main-event bout with Diaz.
Chimaev stopped Kevin Holland with a D’Arce choke 2:13 into the first round of their grudge match, which was also created after Chimaev (12-0) missed weight by 7 1/2 pounds on Friday morning. The UFC dramatically shuffled its card to keep both Chimaev and Diaz on the show, resulting in three new matchups for the final three fights at T-Mobile Arena.
Diaz’s desire to fight the vaunted Chimaev seemed foolhardy in a distinctly Diaz way, but the late matchup with Ferguson was much more competitive than the original booking likely would have been. Ferguson, who only agreed to be on the card three weeks ago, had lost his previous four fights over the past three years, while Diaz was 1-2 in the last six years.
“At the end of the day, I love the UFC,” Diaz said. “I feel like I’ve had the longest career in the UFC, and I’ve had the most successful one out of everybody.”
Diaz landed punches regularly on Ferguson in the first two rounds, and he played to the crowd in the third with long walks around the cage between exchanges, even resting with one arm atop the cage momentarily.
Ferguson got Diaz’s attention with leg kicks — but when Ferguson attempted to get into a grappling match, Diaz applied the choke and finished at 2:52 of the fourth.
Diaz has already announced plans to start his own promotional company outside the UFC, and each fight could be the last for a well-loved fighter who has competed only four times in the last six years.
But Diaz might not be done with the UFC, since he got a tweet earlier Saturday from Conor McGregor, who promised to complete their trilogy. Diaz and McGregor split two largely thrilling bouts in 2016, and the results catapulted Diaz into the top echelon of celebrities in mixed martial arts.
“I want to get out of the UFC for a minute and show these UFC fighters how to take over and own up another sport how you’re supposed to do it,” Diaz said. “Because Conor McGregor didn’t know how to do it, and none of these other fighters know how to do it, so I’m going to go out there and I’m going to take over another organization, another profession, and become the best at that, and then I’m going to be right back here to get another UFC title. It’s the best battle in the world.”
The pay-per-view went off with several significant changes made just one day earlier because Chimaev didn’t come close to his contracted weight — and then shrugged and smiled about it on the scale. Chimaev, the Chechnya-born Swede considered one of MMA’s top rising talents, was loudly booed by the crowd just off the Las Vegas Strip on fight night.
Instead of removing Chimaev or Diaz from the card, the UFC scrambled to make three new matchups for the top three fights on the show. Diaz and Ferguson were paired in a fight long coveted by MMA fans but initially rejected by Diaz, while Chimaev was matched at a catchweight against Holland.
Chimaev and Holland already had bad blood from earlier in the week when they fought backstage at the UFC 279 news conference, forcing the event’s cancellation.
After a frantic exchange in the opening seconds, Chimaev made quick work of Holland. His burgeoning reputation as a heel only grew when he was asked about missing weight in the post-fight interview and responded “I don’t care about (that),” to thunderous boos.
“I’m the black belt here,” Chimaev added. “I’m Mike Tyson. I’m Muhammad Ali.”
Li Jingliang, who began the week expecting to face Ferguson, was matched with Daniel Rodriguez, Holland’s scheduled opponent. Rodriguez (17-2) beat Li (19-8) by split decision in an uneventful bout in which both fighters were understandably cautious of their unfamiliar opponent.
Light heavyweight Johnny Walker led off the pay-per-view card with a submission of Ion Cuțelaba before Irene Aldana stopped Macy Chiasson with an extraordinary upkick to the body while Aldana was down on the canvas. Aldana drove her heel into Chiasson’s abdomen while Chiasson was towering over her, ending the fight abruptly.
On the early undercard, heavyweight Chris Barnett stopped Jake Collier in the first round with punches. Barnett missed weight for his bout, which was fought at a catchweight.
