NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ClaimsFiler, a FREE shareholder information service, reminds investors that they have until October 11, 2022 to file lead plaintiff applications in a securities class action lawsuit against LifeStance Health Group, Inc. (NasdaqGS: LFST), if they purchased or acquired the Company's Class A common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the Company's June 2021 initial public offering (the "IPO"). This action is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
LifeStance investors should visit us at https://claimsfiler.com/cases/nasdaq-lfst/ or call toll-free (844) 367-9658. Lawyers at Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC are available to discuss your legal options.
LifeStance and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information in its IPO Registration Statement, violating federal securities laws.
The alleged false and misleading statements and omissions include, but are not limited to, that: (i) the Company's out-patient/virtual revenue growth was negatively affected by a decrease in virtual visits after COVID-19 lockdowns were lifted; (ii) an increasing number of in-person visits post-lockdown resulted in substantial increases to operating expenses; (iii) its physician retention rate had fallen significantly below the 87% highlighted in the IPO's registration statement leading to additional costs to bring on new physicians, who were less productive than the outgoing physicians they were replacing; and (iv) as a result, LifeStance Health's business metrics and financial prospects were not as strong as the IPO's registration statement represented.
The case is Nayani v. LifeStance Health Group, Inc., No. 22-cv-06833.
ClaimsFiler has a single mission: to serve as the information source to help retail investors recover their share of billions of dollars from securities class action settlements. At ClaimsFiler.com, investors can: (1) register for free to gain access to information and settlement websites for various securities class action cases so they can timely submit their own claims; (2) upload their portfolio transactional data to be notified about relevant securities cases in which they may have a financial interest; and (3) submit inquiries to the Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC law firm for free case evaluations.

BUCKNER, Ky., April 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Fastline Marketing Group is proud to announce the launch of Fastline Auctions, a new service aimed at helping farmers and dealers list their agricultural equipment for auction on Fastline.com. With over 1 million website visitors, 100,000 emails, and a social media following of over 400,000, Fastline is poised to become the preferred auction destination for buyers and sellers alike.
"Fastline has always been committed to helping farmers and dealers connect with one another," said Dean Barke, President of Fastline Marketing Group. "Our new auction business will enable us to take that commitment to the next level, by providing an easy, convenient, and cost-effective way for buyers and sellers to connect and conduct business."
One of the unique aspects of Fastline Auctions is its low commission rates, which will make it an attractive option for sellers looking to maximize their profits. In addition, all equipment listed on Fastline Auctions will be lien-free, giving buyers peace of mind and ensuring a smooth transaction process.
Sellers will also have the ability to set the starting auction bid, allowing them to maintain control over the pricing of their equipment. And with Fastline's state-of-the-art online auction experience, buyers and sellers can be confident that they are using the latest and most reliable technology to conduct their transactions.
Mr. Barke continued, "Our goal with Fastline Auctions is to provide farmers and dealers with a reliable, transparent, and efficient way to buy and sell agricultural equipment. The most important thing for us is that we operate in integrity and honesty, as we have always done in our 45-year history of supporting the agricultural industry. We want our customers, farmers and dealers, to trust us and feel confident that they are getting a fair deal when they use Fastline Auctions.".
Fastline's first auction is scheduled to take place this fall, and the company is currently hiring additional staff in the southeast and midwest to support the new venture. To learn more about Fastline Auctions and apply for a job, please visit Fastline careers page or email us at AuctionInfo@fastline.com. Equipment dealers and farmers who are interested in listing their equipment on Fastline Auctions can complete an inquiry online here and a Fastline rep will reach out with more information.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli police shot and killed a man who they alleged tried to snatch an officer’s gun at an entrance to a Jerusalem holy site early Saturday, raising fears of further violence during a time of heightened tensions at the flashpoint compound.
Palestinian worshippers at the entrance to the site on Saturday morning had a different account, saying that police shot the man at least 10 times after he tried to prevent them from harassing a woman who was on her way to the holy compound, home to Al-Aqsa Mosque in the heart of Jerusalem’s Old City — the third holiest shrine in Islam. The compound, revered by Jews as the Temple Mount, is also the most sacred site in Judaism.
The police said the slain man was 26-year-old Mohammed Alasibi from Hura, a Bedouin Arab village in southern Israel. The village council called for a thorough investigation of his killing and a general strike Saturday in protest.
Hours after the incident, the muddy stone alleyway leading to Al-Aqsa Mosque was still stained with blood. Alasibi’s family said he was a physician who had recently passed his exams and earned his M.D. in Romania. He returned to his hometown a month ago, his cousin said, and was caring for his sick father as he worked to get certified in Israel.
“He is a polite, kind man from a family of doctors who was going to Al-Aqsa for spiritual reasons,” his cousin Fahad Alasibi said. “If you want us to believe that he tried to attack police, then show us the security footage.”
A police spokesperson pushed back on Palestinian accounts, insisting there was no woman walking to the compound at midnight because the complex was closed to visitors under an agreement with an Islamic trust called the Waqf controlled by Jordan.
Nonetheless, a few dozen people have been trying to sleep at the mosque overnight during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, prompting Israeli police to intervene and try to evict the worshippers.
The police spokesperson said Alasibi first aroused suspicion walking toward the shuttered compound. After being stopped for questioning, the spokesperson said Alasibi jumped on one of the officers and grabbed his gun, managing to fire two bullets toward policemen as the officer struggled to restrain him. Police described the incident as an attempted terrorist attack and said they shot and killed him in self-defense. No officers were injured. The spokesperson said there was no camera on the inner wall of the compound that could have captured the incident.
Palestinian worshippers at the compound Saturday disagreed. Noureddine, a 17-year-old who lived in the neighborhood and declined to give his last name for fear of reprisals, said he saw Alasibi confront police who had stopped a female worshipper on her way to Al-Aqsa Mosque. Alasibi’s relationship to the woman was not clear. He said some kind of disagreement broke out between Alasibi and the officers before he heard a dozen shots ring out.
“Nothing could justify that many shots,” he said, pointing to chaotic footage he filmed that showed Palestinian vendors and worshippers screaming at the sound of bullets being fired in rapid succession. “They were fired at close range.”
His cousin Fahad said Alasibi was worried about making the trip from Israel’s Negev desert to Al-Aqsa because his ailing father relied on him. “But he went because praying there during Ramadan means a lot to him,” he said.
The city’s contested compound has been a focus for clashes in the past, particularly in times of turmoil in Israel and the West Bank. This year, as violence surges in the occupied territory under the most right-wing government in Israeli history, fears of an escalation in Jerusalem have mounted with the start of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. Israeli police have boosted their forces as tens of thousands of Muslim worshippers flock to Al-Aqsa Mosque for prayers.
On Friday, more than 200,000 Palestinians gathered at the compound for noon prayers, which passed peacefully.
Noureddine said police forced Palestinian vendors and worshippers out of the area after the incident, beating him and others with batons. Israeli police briefly closed the site before reopening it for dawn prayers.
Confrontations at the hilltop compound have triggered wider violence in the region in the past. Clashes at the site in May 2021 helped fuel the outbreak of a bloody 11-day war between Israel and Gaza Strip’s Hamas rulers.
This year’s convergence of Ramadan with the Jewish holiday of Passover could increase the possibility of friction as the Old City hosts a massive influx of pilgrims.
For the past year, Israeli-Palestinian fighting has surged in the occupied West Bank. At least 86 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli or settler gunfire this year, according to an Associated Press tally. Palestinian attacks against Israelis have killed 15 people in the same period. Israel says most of those killed have been militants. But stone-throwing youths protesting police incursions and people not involved in the confrontations have also been killed. | 2023-04-01T15:39:31+00:00 | kfor.com | https://kfor.com/news/international/israeli-police-fatally-shoot-man-at-jerusalems-holy-site/ |

BUFFALO, NY — A Buffalo MMA fitness center has been hosting free all-women's self-defense classes for years to ensure the safety of women in their everyday lives.
According to a study from the University of Oregon self-defense classes are shown to decrease women's fear and anxiety about being attacked while increasing confidence and self-esteem at the same time.
The University of Oregon says women who enroll in self-defense classes are almost 60-percent less likely to be sexually assaulted but besides the safety benefit, they also provide women with the tools and empowerment to feel confident they can hold their own.
“When they get to actually learn strategies and movements, while enacting a genuinely worst case scenario, here's what you can do, it’s a really empowering thing,” said Kate Allen, Manager and part-owner of Western New York Mixed Martial Arts.
Its what Western New York Mixed Martial Arts (WNY MMA) has been doing for years through their free all-women’s defense class, ensuring women can handle any scenario they may come across where they are unsafe or being attacked through the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class.
"This experience that is going to not turn you into Superwoman, We should say that right away, but it is going to give you some practical things that you can walk away with right away. They're going to help you feel safer, help you be safer,” said Allen.
During the class students will be taught by Dusty Mueckl and Allen, bringing together all women to learn how to be safe.
“II means so much to be able to provide a community that not only teaches of specific skill, but it develops this community of just trust with women and knowing that there's other people out there to support you,” said Mueckl.
Plus you can join regardless of any barriers, you think you may have.
“You don't have to be big, you don't have to be strong, because obviously I'm none of those things, but I feel more than confident about protecting myself because it is for everybody type. It is for every age group,” said Mueckl.
This class is LGBTQ+ friendly so all women are welcome.
The class is free for all and starts at 11 a.m. at WNY MMA’s North Buffalo location at 225 Great Arrow Avenue Suite #114, you can also call the fitness center for more information at 716-898-8924 | 2022-09-14T08:08:04+00:00 | wkbw.com | https://www.wkbw.com/news/local-news/wny-mma-host-free-womens-defense-classes-to-bring-empowerment-to-community |
HUNTSVILLE, Ala., June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NASA launched the second phase of its Break the Ice Lunar Challenge to advance technology that is – quite literally – groundbreaking. The challenge invites the public to advance system technology for excavating and delivering lunar resources.
High on NASA's list of innovation priorities are technologies that use the Moon's resources to support sustainable surface operations while decreasing supply needs from Earth. This includes systems that could convert lunar ice into rocket fuel, drinkable water, or other vital resources.
"As NASA works to extend human exploration of the solar system, our first stop is a sustained presence on the Moon," said Jim Reuter, associate administrator for NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "New technologies and systems like these are essential for us to set a new paradigm for exploration."
Phase 1 of the Break the Ice Lunar Challenge launched in 2020, seeking to incentivize innovative approaches for excavating icy regolith – or Moon dirt – and delivering acquired resources in extreme lunar environmental conditions.
NASA has identified several technology gaps related to harvesting and moving large quantities of resources on the Moon, including hardware capable of operating in the extreme cold and permanent to near-permanent darkness. Robotic systems for excavation will need to withstand the harsh environments inside permanently shadowed regions at the lunar South Pole, the targeted landing site for crewed Artemis missions where ice has been observed.
In Phase 2 of the challenge, teams will be asked to design, build, and test an icy regolith excavation system prototype and an icy regolith transportation system prototype to maximize resource delivery while minimizing energy use and the mass of equipment delivered to the lunar surface. Phase 2 contains three levels, will last for 23 months, and offers a total prize purse of $3 million.
In Phase 2 competition level one, teams will develop detailed engineering designs and long-duration demonstration test plans for their prototype systems. Eligible U.S. teams that meet submission requirements for Phase 2 competition level one will be awarded an equal share of the $500,000 prize purse. All teams that meet the submission requirements for Phase 2 competition level one will advance to Phase 2 competition level two.
In Phase 2 competition level two, teams will build terrestrial analog full-scale prototypes and conduct durability demonstrations. The top-scoring U.S. team will receive $300,000; the second-highest scoring U.S. team will receive $200,000; the third-highest scoring U.S. team will receive $125,000; and up to five U.S. runners-up will receive $75,000 each. Up to 15 teams – including winners and runners-up – that exceed the minimum score will advance to Phase 2 competition level three.
In Phase 2 competition level three, teams will test the prototype systems built in Phase 2 competition level two. The top-scoring U.S. team will receive $1 million, and the second-highest scoring U.S. team will receive $500,000. In addition to cash prizes, NASA will also award opportunities to test concepts in a thermal vacuum that will simulate the temperature and atmospheric pressure conditions at the dusty lunar South Pole.
Up to three top-scoring international teams will be recognized as winners in competition level two and competition level three. International teams are not eligible to be awarded prize money or thermal vacuum testing opportunities.
In 2021, NASA awarded 13 teams a share of a $500,000 prize purse for their Phase 1 designs of system architecture for collecting and moving large amounts of icy regolith and water from a permanently shadowed region near the Moon's South Pole. Teams had seven months to register and submit a detailed system architecture, an excavation plan, and an animation of the system in operation. Thirty-one teams – including academia, industry, and independent inventors from 17 U.S. states, Canada, Australia, and Sri Lanka – submitted eligible proposals.
Phase 1 teams, as well as new competitors, are encouraged to register for Phase 2 on the challenge site by 11:59 p.m. on September 30, 2022.
The Break the Ice Lunar Challenge is a NASA Centennial Challenge, managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, and NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Centennial Challenges are part of the Prizes, Challenges, and Crowdsourcing program within NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate. NASA has contracted Ensemble Consultancy to support the management of competitors for this challenge.

Imagine a haunted house attraction you first visited fifteen years ago. The wallpaper is peeling, the paint cracking, the animatronic ghosts jerky and faded.
Then imagine someone knocks it down and rebuilds it brick-by-brick. They plaster the walls, haul in spookier ghouls, add frightening new pictures to the frames.
You approach the house with trepidation — how could it possibly replicate the scares and thrills you so fondly remember? But by the time you leave, you can't stop smiling.
That's exactly what makes this year's Dead Space remake so exciting. It proves that a timeless game built on a solid foundation can feel as fresh in 2023 as it felt in 2008 — for newcomers and aficionados alike.
Shock to the system
Your journey begins and ends in outer space — humans have run out of resources on Earth and now travel the stars in search for more. You play as Isaac Clarke, a systems engineer following a distress beacon sent by the USG Ishimura, a massive ship equipped with mining capabilities that crack open planets to extract their minerals and ores.
Of course, things go wrong immediately. Your vessel crashes into the Ishimura, your crew members get separated or die, and you'll soon have to fight for your life against unspeakable horrors. Bodies litter the floors, cryptic warnings written in blood cover the walls, and the few survivors have completely lost their minds.
So it's up to Isaac to find his girlfriend — who was trapped on the Ishimura — and escape. Throw in an insane scientist and hostile alien life, and you've checked off some of sci-fi horror's most common tropes. But while it's not exactly new, Dead Space still feels like a proper tribute to the stories that came before it, from Event Horizon to Alien.
But there's one big change to the classic game, one that fans of the original may struggle with:
Isaac talks now.
Finding a new voice
2008's Isaac Clarke was as mute as he was fearless as he battled monsters and maniacs alike, his face always obscured by his helmet. Sure, he opened up in Dead Space 2 and 3, but Clarke's initial silence contributed to the first game's sense of mystery and isolation.
This time, developer Motive Studio tapped Gunner Wright, the same actor who portrayed Clarke in the old sequels, to reprise the role. His dialogue fleshes out some of the story and characters, but it doesn't feel excessive — and he's certainly not as chatty as many contemporary heroes.
Other tweaks are comparably measured. Aside from some script changes, this Dead Space plays nearly identically to the first, with updated visuals and audio that amplify its engaging and terrifying ambience. The game also trades the original's frustrating 3D map for a 2D one, which makes it much easier to see where you're going.
Rip and tear
The fights are still as brutal as ever, though. Dead Space pits Isaac against hordes of Necromorphs: mutated remnants of the crew of the Ishimura.
Over time, the game will teach you to use your growing arsenal to counter different types of Necromorphs. Each of the guns has a primary and secondary attack to give you the flexibility you'll need to take down each wave of horrifying creatures.
Isaac also gets some nifty powers. His stasis ability slows down enemies and his kinesis module lets you throw objects like explosive canisters for massive AOE damage. Both are key to survival, and switching between guns, stasis, and kinesis is — quite literally — a blast.
The controls also all feel smooth, but Zero-G sections can get confusing when you're trying to make out the floor from the ceiling with Necromorphs flying at you from all angles. While that disorientation must be intentional, the refined combat mechanics far outweigh any resulting irritation.
If it ain't broke...
Even as the graphics and audio benefited from the remake treatment, much of the user interface and environmental design needed no improvement.
Directly inspired by Resident Evil 4, Dead Space expanded on the over-the-shoulder camera and minimalist HUD. Isaac's health bar and stasis meter literally glow on his suit; they aren't abstractions that only the player can see. He can even light a path to the next objective to make all the backtracking less confusing.
But it's the USG Ishimura's implicit storytelling that really makes it a legendary horror setting, on par with Resident Evil 2's police station or Resident Evil 1's Spencer Mansion. You don't need to be told what happened, you can see for yourself just how chaotic and bloody the Necromorph takeover went by walking the halls.
The ship rarely provides real sanctuary, either. Even in what appear to be "safe" rooms where loot abounds, you're always vulnerable to ambush. You'll be kept on your toes throughout the roughly twelve-to-fifteen hour journey.
As game remasters and remakes continue to flood the market, developer Motive Studio distinguishes itself by preserving an original masterpiece in all its dignity, while still improving upon it with modern tune-ups. This haunted house is well worth another visit.

If you believe that conservatives can’t support a county-level open space program, think again.
Ravalli County, Montana, is about as conservative as you will find. Trump carried the county over Biden 66%-30%; Trump beat Clinton 63%-27%. But in 2006 the county passed a $10 million open space bond with 58% approval. Since then, the bond has resulted in 38 projects, totaling 10,367 acres. That breaks down into 9,098 acres of working farms, 1,080 acres of publicly accessible private land, and 189 acres public access/recreation. The county’s funds have been leveraged 3-1, and the cost per acre has been $726 (source: Open Lands Fact Sheet; ravalli.us/181/Open-Lands-Board). The population of Ravalli County is about 45,000 — just about a third of ours.
In all of Montana over 3 million acres have been protected with conservation easements. What do they appreciate that we do not? For a conservative, voluntary, market-based approach to open land protection, vote yes on Prop 1.

Pacific Coast seafood fare headed to downtown Birmingham restaurant
Hazel's in downtown Birmingham, known for its seafood-centric seasonal offerings, is expanding its Pacific Coast-themed menu.
Starting Wednesday, Hazel's new Pacific Coast menu will offer dishes from all along the Pacific, top-to-bottom.Co-owners Beth Hussey and Emmele Herrold, the executive chef, say the menu reflects inspiration from a West Coast road trip.

Previously, Hazel's rotating menu for fall was based on food from the Pacific Northwest.
"The Pacific Northwest menu was always the hardest to do," Herrold said in a news release. "There aren’t as many foods we specifically identify with that region as we do other areas we highlight, like Main lobster during the summer."
More:Mediterranean-inspired Symposia opens Tuesday in Greektown
On the new Pacific Coast menu, chef Herrold has added a selection of trendy tinned fish to the raw bar, including Calvisius caviar, smoked sardines, tuna belly, and mussels.
Another menu highlight is fresh, Pacific Coast fish available to order every day as a taco or torta.
"It will depend on what's fresh -- snapper, halibut, or cod," Hussey said in a news release.
Many previous Pacific Northwest menu options, like Alaskan King Crab and snow crab, will be in the mix as well as its spicy mussels and sausage.
Hazel's also added the option of a whole fried fish to the menu and there's a family feast featuring three kinds of Pacific crab — snow crab legs, Alaskan King Crab Legs, and Dungeness Crab clusters.
You can share a seafood tower offered in three sizes — big, bigger, and biggest — that will offer what's freshest that day. Also on the menu is the hearty cioppino — the classic fish stew with a variety of seafood bathed in a tomatoey broth. Hazel's popular hot or cold lobster rolls, token burgers, and fried chicken will remain on the menu.
For dessert, Hazel's pastry chef Olivia Rinke is bringing back the Wrecking Ball, described as a sweet and salty ice cream confection that's enough to share.
Hazel's,1 Peabody, Birmingham, will offer the Pacific Coast menu through year-end. Hours are 11 a.m-10 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 11 a.m.- 9 p.m. Sunday. For reservations and information, call 248-671-1714 or go to eatathazels.com.

(The Conversation) – For many Americans, pumpkins mean that fall is here. In anticipation, coffee shops, restaurants and grocery stores start their pumpkin flavor promotions in late August, a month before autumn officially begins. And shoppers start buying fresh decorative winter produce, such as pumpkins and turban squash, in the hot, sultry days of late summer.
But these fruits – yes, botanically, pumpkins and squash are fruits – don’t last forever. And they may not even make it to Halloween if you buy and carve them too early.
As a plant pathologist, gardener and self-described pumpkin fanatic, I have both boldly succeeded and miserably failed at growing, properly carving and keeping these iconic winter squash in their prime through the end of October. Here are some tips that can help your epic carving outlast the Day of the Dead.
Pick a healthy pumpkin and transport it carefully
This may seem obvious, but shop for a pumpkin in the same way that you shop the produce aisle. Whether you plan to carve them or not, choose pumpkins that are not damaged, dented or diseased. Is the stem loose? Is there a clear break in the rind? Are there any water-soaked spots on the exterior?
Post-harvest diseases – those that occur after the pumpkin is removed from the vine – can happen anywhere between the field where they were grown and your front step. A bruise or crack will allow opportunistic fungi, bacteria, water molds and small insects to invade and colonize your pumpkins. Keeping the rind defect-free and stem intact ensures your prized pumpkin a longer shelf life.
The trip home also matters. Most of us transport pets, kids, muddy hiking boots and food in our cars, which makes our vehicles giant petri dishes harboring common environmental molds and bacteria. Some of those microbes could colonize your unsuspecting pumpkins.
Secure your pumpkins en route to your house so they don’t suffer bruising or stem breakage. My family often uses seat belts to protect ours. Once home, don’t carry your pumpkin by the stem, which can lead to breakage, especially if it is big and heavy.
Keep them clean and dry
Pumpkins spend most of their lives in fields, developing on top of soil that teems with fungi, bacteria, water molds and soil-dwelling animals like nematodes, insects and mites. Removing these organisms, and any eggs they may have affixed to your pumpkin’s rind, will help preserve it.
To get rid of them, wipe down your pumpkins, preferably with a bleach wipe or two. This is especially important if you plan to carve them: Piercing the dirty rind with a sharp tool will introduce these eager visitors deeper into the heart of your pumpkin. Be sure to use clean tools as well. Microbes can reside and multiply on small amounts of pumpkin debris stuck in the teeth of dirty carving knives.
Even if you are not carving your pumpkin, wiping it down isn’t a bad idea, since it may have small bruises or cracks that are easy to overlook.
Hollow pumpkins out thoroughly, but don’t overdo it
Much of the work of carving a pumpkin involves separating the fibrous strands and seeds inside it from the harder pulp that makes up the pumpkin’s walls. As you scoop out the pumpkin’s innards, thoroughly inspect the inside walls for soft rotten patches or dark tissues, which may have been colonized pre- or post-harvest by bacteria, fungi or water molds. Diseased pumpkins sometimes produce an off-putting smell, so use your nose as well.
If you find these issues as you carve, you may want to try carving another pumpkin. You can also paint your pumpkins instead of carving them, which averts the need to peer inside.
Some online tutorials and YouTube videos recommend thinning out pumpkins’ walls to better allow candle or LED light to pass through. But if you make the walls too thin, your jack-o’-lantern’s fangs will become inward-curving skin tabs as the pulp desiccates and deforms. A toothless jack-o’-lantern scares no one.
Another advantage of maintaining thicker walls is that it enables you to try a 3D carving. This involves shaping the pumpkin’s surface as you would carve a piece of wood, without breaking through the shell, and can produce dramatic results.
Some people soak their carved pumpkins in diluted bleach or vinegar water after completing them. But this technique is a double-edged sword: Adding more free moisture to your masterpiece invites windblown mold spores and rain-splashed bacteria to colonize it. However, applying a light coating of petroleum jelly or vegetable oil to all the exposed parts can extend the shelf life of your sculpted squash.
Protect your creation
October is a wet month with frequent rains in many parts of the U.S. Rain falling on your jack-o’-lantern will invite every mold in the neighborhood to take up residency in or on it. For this reason, I recommend keeping your pumpkins on a covered porch or displaying them from indoors in a window.
It’s OK if some mold forms inside it, as not all fungi cause soft rots – diseases that produce wet spots that spread, become mushy and turn black. If a pumpkin does become overly moldy on the inside walls, move it outdoors to avoid producing a lot of spores in your home.
When your pumpkin does start to mold and collapse, don’t throw it in a landfill. Put it out for your neighborhood deer or atop your compost pile. Or find a spot in your yard where you can watch it degrade over time, until it turns back to soil in time for next year’s pumpkin patch. | 2022-10-08T16:19:06+00:00 | localsyr.com | https://www.localsyr.com/news/national/how-to-keep-your-jack-o-lantern-from-turning-into-moldy-maggoty-mush-before-halloween/ |

BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts’ highest court overruled a lower court judge Thursday and reinstated criminal neglect charges against two top former officials at a veterans’ home. Nearly 80 veterans died at the Veterans’ Home in Holyoke after contracting the coronavirus in one of the worst COVID-19 outbreaks in a long-term care facility in the nation.
The ruling allows the case against Bennett Walsh, the former superintendent at the facility, and Dr. David Clinton, its former medical director, to move forward.
In their ruling, the majority of the justices found that the facts presented to the grand jury constituted probable cause to believe that Walsh and Clinton violated the elder abuse statute and that Hampden Superior Court Judge Edward McDonough Jr. erred in dismissing the charges.
“Of course, sometimes bad things happen for no discernable reason, and no one is to blame. At any subsequent trial, prosecutors will need to prove their case. We conclude only that they will have the opportunity to do so,” the court ruled.
Walsh and Clinton pleaded not guilty in 2020 to charges stemming from their decision that March to combine two dementia units, packing residents who were positive for the coronavirus into the same space as those with no symptoms.
In November 2021, McDonough found that there was “insufficient reasonably trustworthy evidence that, had these two dementia units not been merged, the medical condition” of five veterans in question would have been materially different.
Last year Massachusetts agreed to pay $56 million to settle a class-action lawsuit brought by the families of veterans who died.
Attorney General Andrea Campbell welcomed Thursday’s decision.
“Today’s decision allows us to focus once again on securing accountability for the tragic and preventable deaths at the Soldiers’ Home in Holyoke,” she said in a written statement. | 2023-04-28T11:20:36+00:00 | wcia.com | https://www.wcia.com/health/ap-health/court-reinstates-charges-against-leaders-of-veterans-home/ |
VANCOUVER, BC, July 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- GreenPower Motor Company Inc. (NASDAQ: GP) (TSXV: GPV) ("GreenPower" or the "Company"), a leading manufacturer and distributor of zero-emission, electric-powered, medium and heavy-duty vehicles, today announced fourth quarter and full year fiscal financial results for the period ended March 31, 2022.
The Company will host an update call next week on GreenPower's school bus initiatives which will include a discussion on the fourth quarter and 2022 fiscal year-end.
- Recorded revenues of $17,236,773 for the year ended March 31, 2022 an increase of 30% over the restated revenue of $13,286,184 for the previous fiscal year
- Cash including restricted cash of $6.9 million at year-end
- Inventory of $32.3 Million at year-end compared to $12.5 million at the previous year-end
- Working capital at year-end was $31,581,470 an increase of $773,095 over the working capital of $30,808,375 at the previous year-end
"Customers for all-electric school buses put on hold purchase decisions as they waited for the recently announced $500 million of funding federally with online applications opening on May 20, 2022 for ninety days and awards to be announced thereafter. We are well positioned to commence deliveries as we have inventory of our Type D Beast and Type A Nano Beast all-electric school buses," stated Fraser Atkinson, CEO of GreenPower. "In the meantime, we have over 1,600 customer orders scheduled to be delivered over the next two fiscal years. The second quarter will see an uptick in deliveries to customers with a significant increase over the ensuing quarters."
There were a number of notable firsts for GreenPower. The company was recognized by the NJ ZIP program as the first OEM dealer to apply for a voucher redemption in the state. GreenPower has been actively pursuing sales in New Jersey and has seen significant demand in the state for its 22-foot cargo van, which was its first sale of this new product. In addition, GreenPower launched the new Nano-BEAST 's all-electric Type A school bus, and has seen significant interest in the product from a number of recent events.
GreenPower continued to expand its dealer network across the United States. During the year GreenPower signed dealership agreements that will expand GreenPower's sales footprint into new territories including the states of Arizona, Nevada, and Washington State, New Jersey, New York, and several specialized dealership relationships in the state of California. This expansion continues with dealer agreements in process covering BEAST, Nano BEAST and EV Stars in over 10 additional states with multiple dealer relationships in larger markets.
GreenPower completed a significant partnership with the state of West Virginia, entering into a lease-purchase agreement with the state for an 80,000 square foot facility on six acres of land to manufacture all-electric school buses for the U.S. market. As part of this partnership the state will provide worker training and hiring support, up to $3.5 million in employment incentive payments in exchange for meeting hiring targets and has agreed to purchase up to $15 million of GreenPower vehicles produced at the facility.
GreenPower signed a contract to sell 1,500 EV Star Cab and Chassis to Workhorse which they will use to produce Workhorse branded panel vans for the North American market.
The Company has corrected and restated the presentation of revenue and cost of sales in its consolidated statements of income for the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. After discussion with experts and further consideration of interpretations of IFRS 16, the Company has changed its determination of revenue and cost of sales at lease inception for finance leases to include the present value of the purchase option on finance leases. In addition, the Company identified an error in the calculation of revenue and cost of sales associated with cancelled leases and subsequent vehicle sales that took place in the year ended March 31, 2020. The restatement resulted in an increase in revenue and a corresponding increase in cost of sales of $1,401,606 for the year ended March 31, 2021 and an increase in revenue and an increase in cost of sales of $896,755 for the year ended March 31, 2020. There was no impact on operating income, net income, working capital, assets, liabilities or cash flow from these changes.
For the year ended March 31, 2022 the Company generated revenue of $17,236,773 compared to restated revenue of $13,286,184 for the previous year, an increase of 29.7%. Cost of sales of $13,360,068 including additional one-time costs in the fourth quarter yielded a gross profit of $3,876,705 or 22.5% of revenue. Revenue for the year was generated from the sale of 18 BEAST school buses, 11 EV Stars, 4 EV Star + and 21 EV Star cab and chassis, as well as 1 EV Star and 10 EV Star CC's for which the Company provided lease financing, and 28 EV Stars that had previously been on lease and whose leases were cancelled and the vehicles were subsequently sold. Operating costs consist of administrative fees of $5,807,744 relating to salaries, project management, finance, and administrative services; transportation costs of $231,472 which relate to the use of trucks, trailers, tractors as well as other operational costs needed to transport company products around North America; insurance expense of $1,244,505; travel, accommodation, meals and entertainment costs of $641,500 related to travel for project management, demonstration of company products, and trade shows; product development costs of $1,381,101; sales and marketing costs of $686,544; interest and accretion of $515,618; professional fees of $1,207,920 consisting of legal and audit fees; as well as non-cash expenses including $5,771,475 of share-based compensation expense, depreciation of $661,958, and an allowance for credit losses of $8,940. The remaining operating costs for the period amounted to $419,398 in officeexpenses, other income of $364,296 primarily related to the forgiveness of a PPP loan, a foreign exchange loss of $65,117 and a write down of assets of $607,579 resulting in a consolidated net loss of $15,009,920.
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 the Company generated revenues of $4,313,964, cost of revenues of $3,716,931 including additional one-time costs in the quarter yielded a gross profit of $597,033, related to the sale of 8 BEAST school buses, 9 EV Star CC's and 2 EV Stars.

A new initiative aims to improve the health and wellness of Porter County residents, starting with county employees. The PoCo Wellness Connection was officially launched during last week's county commissioners meeting.
Commissioner Barb Regnitz put together a group of representatives from multiple county departments, as well as health care providers, to come up with ideas. "Health and wellness doesn't necessarily have to be you running a marathon," Regnitz said. "It can be just getting out — social wellness, emotional wellness, physical wellness."
Some ideas include setting up employee walking clubs, along with volleyball or cornhole leagues at the county administration building courtyard. The PoCo Wellness Connection would also promote existing programs already being offered, like the Health Department's programs to quit smoking and the Purdue Extension Office's tips for healthy eating and growing vegetables.
Regnitz said employees can use their existing online wellness portal to track their progress. "We're going to be able to create leader boards and have competitions, and so it'll be cool from the employee perspective," Regnitz added.
The eventual goal is to expand the PoCo Wellness Connection to the entire community. | 2023-05-10T08:29:46+00:00 | lakeshorepublicmedia.org | https://www.lakeshorepublicmedia.org/local-news/2023-05-01/porter-county-launches-health-and-wellness-initiative |

Legendary problem solver guiding operations for Cornerstone Consulting
TOLEDO, Ohio, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A pen used to map the path Steve Nolan has traveled from his birth in Ireland to his current role with Cornerstone Consulting would run out of ink somewhere around 1996 when he won the Henry Ford Technology Award. Starting with his arrival in Michigan in 1985, he has positively impacted manufacturing operations in the U.S., the U.K., Germany, the Netherlands and China, mentoring countless leaders along the way.
"Steve is a walking encyclopedia of lean manufacturing and Six Sigma brilliance who solves problems with incredible ease," said Bill Currence, CCO's President & Managing Partner. "His personal emphasis on leadership development drives his success with our clientele because people are the root of every solution and the core of our business."
The son of a serial entrepreneur, Nolan grew up learning the value of talent as the solution for business challenges. Those people skills, developed in his father's businesses, carried him to success in industries ranging from automotive and aviation to heavy equipment, e-bikes, and mining. At each stop, he drove productivity and profitability upward with his clear view into the prevailing situation and his direct manner of speaking to all involved.
"To ably counsel business leaders, one must certainly be able to prescribe material investments and recommend overhead reductions, but the top challenge is putting the right people in the right place to succeed," said Nolan, who holds two US patents and multiple European patents. "CCO's ability to not only identify key personnel needs but also fill them with our staffing capability is a combination that our competitors would be hard pressed to match."
Nolan also credits CCO's pragmatic approach to business as a key reason for joining the team.
"I often return to that famous quote by Winston Churchill: 'However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results,'" concluded Nolan. "Time is still money, so getting stuff done is more important than talking endlessly about it. I'm proud to be part of a company culture that consistently looks at results and delighted to know those results do so much for our clients."

AC Milan have completed the signing of United States international Sergino Dest on a season-long loan from Barcelona, the Spanish club announced on Thursday.
The Serie A champions have an option to make the deal permanent next summer for €20 million.
Transfer grades: How has your club fared?
- Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, MLS, more (U.S.)
ESPN reported earlier this summer that Barca coach Xavi Hernandez had told Dest he was no longer part of his plans.
Dest, 21, initially said he wanted to stay at Camp Nou but changed his mind after being left out of the squad for the opening three games of the season.
The defender is set to feature for U.S. at the World Cup, which begins in November, and he decided the offer from Milan, who will play in the Champions League this season, was too good to turn down.
Villarreal had also made a move to sign Dest on loan, with coach Unai Emery even calling him on the phone on Tuesday, but Dest opted to move to Italy, instead.
Interest from Manchester United, led by Dest's former coach at Ajax, Erik ten Hag, never materialised into a concrete offer, with both Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka remaining at Old Trafford.
Milan's interest only on arrived Wednesday after they lost right-back Alessandro Florenzi to injury.
Dest's camp were contacted by the Italian side in the late afternoon and by the evening an agreement was in place, with the player flying to Italy on Thursday to complete the deal.
Barca signed Dest for €20m from Ajax in 2020 and he had an impressive debut season under former head coach Ronald Koeman, making 41 appearances in all competitions.
However, injuries and a change of coach -- Xavi replaced Koeman in last November -- led to Dest losing his place in the side in the second half of last season.
Despite that, Xavi had been willing to give him another chance this season at the start of the summer, but the club's need to reduce the wage bill and raise money to balance their spending forced them to change their stance on Dest. | 2022-09-01T20:14:23+00:00 | espn.com | https://www.espn.com/soccer/soccer-transfers/story/4735327/usmnts-sergino-dest-joins-ac-milan-on-season-long-loan-from-barcelona |
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Millions of Muslims in Indonesia are gearing up to celebrate the holy month of Ramadan, which is expected to start on Thursday, with traditions and ceremonies across the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country amid soaring food prices.
From colorful torchlight street parades to cleaning relatives’ graves and sharing meals with family and friends, every region in the vast Southeast Asian archipelago seems to have its own way to mark the start of Ramadan, highlighting the nation’s diverse cultural heritage.
The country’s religious affairs minister on Wednesday evening will try to sight the crescent moon to determine the first day of the holy month. If the moon is not visible, as expected, the first day of Ramadan will be a day later. Most Indonesians — Muslims comprise nearly 90% of the country’s 277 million people — are expected to follow the government’s official date.
Indonesia’s second-largest Islamic group, Muhammadiyah, which counts more than 60 million members, said that according to its astronomical calculations Ramadan will begin on Thursday.
During Ramadan, Muslims refrain from eating, drinking, smoking and sexual intercourse from sunrise until sunset. Even a tiny sip of water or a puff of smoke is enough to invalidate the fast. At night, family and friends gather and feast in a festive atmosphere.
The fasting is aimed at bringing the faithful closer to God and reminding them of the suffering of the poor. Muslims are expected to strictly observe daily prayers and engage in heightened religious contemplation. They are also urged to refrain from gossip, fighting or cursing during the holy month.
Although Indonesia has more Muslims than any other country in the world, its Ramadan traditions have been influenced by other religions. Nyadran is a Javanese ritual heavily influenced by Hinduism and Buddhism that involves visiting ancestors’ gravesites to pay respect.
Each year, thousands of villagers who live on the slopes of Mount Merapi in Central Java visit cemeteries to welcome Ramadan. In the ritual, people clean and decorate gravesites and make prayers and offerings. They bring various foods in bamboo containers that they eat together after praying.
In other regions on the main island of Java, including in the capital, Jakarta, Muslims also mark the holy month by cleaning their relatives’ graves, scattering flower petals on them and praying for the deceased.
After evening prayers, many boys and girls across Jakarta parade through the streets of the densely populated neighborhoods to welcome the holy month. They carry torches and play Islamic songs accompanied by the beat of the rebana, the Arabic handheld percussion instrument.
People in Indonesia’s deeply conservative Aceh province celebrate the beginning of Ramadan with Meugang festivities by slaughtering animals such as oxen or buffalo, as well as smaller animals like chicken and ducks. The meat is then cooked and shared with family, friends and even the poor and orphans in a communal feast that aims to bring the community together.
Hundreds of residents in Tangerang, a city just outside Jakarta, flock to the Cisadane River to bathe in a tradition that involves washing one’s hair with rice straw shampoo to welcome the holy fasting month with a symbolic spiritual cleansing.
Islam follows a lunar calendar, so Ramadan begins around a week and a half earlier each year. At the end of Ramadan, Muslims celebrate the joyous Eid al-Fitr holiday, when children often receive new clothes and gifts.
Indonesia’s Trade Ministry has said prices of imported staple foods including wheat, sugar, beef and soybeans have increased sharply this year as a result of rising global commodity prices and supply chain disruptions, particularly following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
But many people say the rise in prices not only impacts imported foods but also local commodities like rice, eggs, chili, palm oil and onions. Gas and electricity prices have also gone up. Many blame the government for this.
Some Muslims worry how they will cope financially during Ramadan this year.
“Prices are going up every week. How come the government cannot help with this? Anything to do with cooking is rising,” said Yulia Ningsih, a mother of two who lives in Jakarta. “I worry that rising food and energy costs will impact Ramadan celebrations.” | 2023-03-22T15:08:52+00:00 | everythinglubbock.com | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/latest/muslims-in-indonesia-gear-up-for-first-day-of-ramadan/ |
Nonprofit to provide food, essentials to military families as part of ongoing effort
OKLAHOMA CITY, May 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As we honor the sacrifices of military servicemen and women during Military Appreciation Month, more than 160,000 active duty military families are struggling to put food on the table for their children. To reach these brave Americans, Feed the Children has established the Military Family Fund to deliver nonperishable food, household essentials, and additional supplies to veterans and active duty servicemen and women coast-to-coast in an effort to help them combat stress and financial insecurity.
Despite their commitment to serving our country with honor, many junior military families are living paycheck-to-paycheck. Not only are they worried about their loved ones being deployed, but they are also facing rising childcare costs as well as higher food and gas prices.
The families of many military service members struggle with hunger because of financial hardship. A recent study conducted by Feed the Children's partner Blue Star Families found that a variety of barriers make employment difficult for the spouses of active duty service members, and many times they may be unemployed or underemployed despite having obtained a college degree.
In fact, 20 percent of military spouses in the labor force are unemployed and actively seeking work. An additional 63 percent of military spouses are underemployed. The report found a combination of issues keep these spouses from holding jobs. Nearly half of them said they would be looking for a new job in the next year and of those, a third of the spouses said it was because their family will be relocating due to receiving new orders.
For military spouses like Dana who is expecting her second child, the food and essentials provided by Feed the Children mean one less thing her family has to worry about.
"Inflation is a real thing right now, so this really helps, especially with me getting ready to have two children on my hands," she said. "Everything has gone up in price and the grocery stores have a shortage right now."
During a Feed the Children distribution event, Dana not only received food and household essentials, but also diapers, books and toys for her young son.
"This is going to help my son," she said. "He's going to get to play with toys, he's going to have diapers. I worry about running out."
By working through its network of community partners in the U.S., Feed the Children's Military Family Fund is providing support to thousands of military families across the country. The nonprofit plans to increase outreach and support to serve more communities near military bases by delivering resources to help families.
Feed the Children supporters Joe and Cathi Maynard know all too well what many military families can go through when money is tight.
"We remember early days in our military careers and the help people provided for us," Joe said. "We remember, two days before payday, deciding if you've got to pay bills or buy food instead. It's tough when you're young and have children, especially."
Individuals and businesses can make a difference in the lives of our country's heroes by supporting Feed the Children's Military Family Fund. For more information or to learn how you can help, visit feedthechildren.org.

At Feed the Children, we feed hungry kids. We envision a world where no child goes to bed hungry. In the U.S. and internationally, we are dedicated to helping families and communities achieve stable lives and to reducing the need for help tomorrow, while providing food and resources to help them today.

DETROIT (AP) — Alex Ovechkin tied Gordie Howe for the most goals scored for one NHL team, fittingly reaching the milestone in the same city Mr. Hockey became an all-time great.
The 37-year-old superstar scored in second period, giving him 786 goals with Washington, but Andrew Copp had a go-ahead goal with 3:50 left to help the Detroit Red Wings beat the Capitals 3-1 on Thursday night.
“It’s pretty cool,” Ovechkin said. “It’s a great accomplishment.”
Howe played for the Red Wings from 1946 to 1971, and Ovechkin’s milestone goal was scored on the same end of the rink that the Hall of Famer’s retired No. 9 jersey hangs in the rafters.
“I wish it could’ve been in a winning effort,” Washington coach Peter Laviolette said.
Howe retired with an NHL record 801 goals — mostly scored with the Red Wings — and Wayne Gretzky broke the mark, finishing with a league-record 894 goals. Howe died in 2016 at age of 88.
Detroit’s Lucas Raymond pulled the Red Wings into a 1-all tie late in the second period on a power play. Copp scored his first goal in his 10th game with the Red Wings late in the third off Adam Erne’s behind-the-net assist. Dylan Larkin added an empty-net goal in the final minute to seal the victory.
“We controlled what we could control, and that’s our effort,” Copp said. “We worked hard for second chances. We had the willingness to get in front of shots.
“We battled and made the kind of desperation-type plays you need in that kind of game.”
Detroit’s Ville Husso made 33 saves.
“They played a good, hard game in front of me and blocked a lot of shots,” he said. “That makes my night pretty easy, especially with the great kill at the end.”
Darcy Kuemper stopped 23 shots for the Capitals, who are 1-1-2 in one-goal games.
“We’ve been in every game,” Kuemper said. “We’re giving ourselves a chance and that’s what you want to do. If we keep doing that, outcomes will start coming our way.”
RED WINGS REUNION
The Red Wings celebrated the 25th anniversary of their 1997 team winning the Stanley Cup, welcoming back players and coaches that helped the franchise end a 42-year championship drought.
Hall of Fame coach Scotty Bowman and Cup-winning goaltender Mike Vernon dropped the ceremonial first puck.
ON D IN THE D
The Red Wings’ top priority was to get better on defense this season and so far, so good. Only Montreal gave up more goals than Detroit last season, and first-year coach Derek Lalonde has helped the team improve enough to rank in the middle of the pack.
“When we are only giving up nine or 10 chances, it gives us our best chance to succeed,” Lalonde said. “But we still weren’t very good with the puck. A full-strength Washington lineup would have taken advantage of that, but they are depleted just like we are.”
SHORT-HANDED
The banged-up Capitals put John Carlson, Beck Malenstyn and T.J. Oshie on injured reserve and they joined Nicklas Backstrom, Carl Hagelin, Connor Brown and Tom Wilson.
“We’re missing a lot of guys,” Washington defenseman Marin Fehervary said. “It’s not easy playing without those names.”
NOTES
Detroit C Michael Rasmussen returned from a two-game suspension for high-sticking. … Washington’s Evgeny Kuznetsov had the assist on Ovechkin’s goal, setting him up with a cross-ice pass. … Red Wings C Oskar Sundqvist (upper body) was scratched for a fourth straight game.
UP NEXT
Capitals: Host Arizona on Saturday.
Red Wings: Host the New York Islanders on Saturday.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The two Republican candidates in Alabama’s U.S. Senate primary runoff on Tuesday can each boast that at one point they had Donald Trump’s endorsement in the race.
Trump first backed U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks in the spring of 2021. That endorsement stood for nearly a year until Trump rescinded it as the conservative firebrand languished in the polls. The former president took his time in issuing a second endorsement, supporting Katie Britt in the race only after she emerged as the top vote-getter in the state’s May 24 primary.
In other races Tuesday, Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser is facing voters amid growing concerns about crime. Runoffs in Georgia will resolve close contests in several congressional races and a secretary of state nomination, while primaries in Virginia will set up competitive congressional contests for the fall. Arkansas is holding primary runoffs for several legislative races.
What to watch in Tuesday’s primaries:
ALABAMA
The Senate runoff will decide the GOP nominee for the seat being vacated by 88-year-old Republican Sen. Richard Shelby, who announced his retirement in February 2021 after serving six terms.
Two months later, Trump announced his endorsement of Brooks, rewarding the six-term congressman who had objected to the certification of the 2020 presidential election and spoke at the “Stop the Steal” rally that preceded the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
But Trump soured on Brooks as the primary campaign progressed, growing unhappy with his showing in the race and some of his comments urging the party to move on from the former president’s fixation on his 2020 election defeat. He pulled his endorsement last March.
Britt, Shelby’s former chief of staff and a former leader of a state business group, won the most votes in last month’s primary, capturing nearly 45% of the ballots compared to Brooks’ 29%. Britt had needed to earn more than 50% of the vote to win outright and avoid a runoff.
Another top candidate, Mike Durant, best known as the helicopter pilot who was held captive in Somalia during the 1993 battle chronicled in the book and film “Black Hawk Down,” finished in third place and failed to advance to the runoff.
Brooks has been backed by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, both of whom campaigned with him. Britt comes into Tuesday’s runoff with a fundraising advantage and a shiny new endorsement from Trump, which came a couple of weeks after the primary.
The former president, who has a mixed record of success in backing winning candidates in this year’s midterm elections, waited to make an endorsement to help stave off the embarrassment of backing a losing candidate in a high-profile race.
The winner of the GOP race will face Democrat Will Boyd in November, though Democrats have found limited success in the deep-red state in the last 20 years.
GEORGIA
A Democratic contest for secretary of state headlines the Tuesday runoffs in Georgia, while Republicans will settle three congressional nominations.
State Rep. Bee Nguyen, backed by Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams, is trying to defeat former state Rep. Dee Dawkins-Haigler in the secretary of state’s race. The winner will face Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in the fall.
Raffensperger beat back a challenge in his May 24 primary from U.S. Rep. Jody Hice, who was endorsed by Trump. Trump made Raffensperger a top target for rebuffing his efforts to “find” enough votes to overturn Joe Biden’s win in the state’s 2020 presidential election.
In congressional runoffs, Vernon Jones, a Trump-backed candidate and former Democrat, is competing against trucking company owner Mike Collins for the Republican nomination for the 10th Congressional District seat east of Atlanta. Collins was endorsed by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, who also won his primary over a Trump-backed challenger.
In the 6th District in Atlanta’s northern suburbs, emergency room physician Rich McCormick is trying to hold off Trump-backed lawyer Jake Evans. That race has revolved around accusations by each candidate that the other is insufficiently conservative.
The Republican winners in the 6th and 10th are heavy favorites in the November election over their Democratic opponents.
Republicans also have high hopes of knocking off 30-year Democratic Rep. Sanford Bishop in southwest Georgia’s 2nd District. The GOP is choosing between former Army officer Jeremy Hunt and real estate developer Chris West.
VIRGINIA
In Virginia, voters will be picking Republican nominees to take on Democratic U.S. House incumbents in two of the most highly competitive districts in the country.
In the coastal 2nd District, which includes the state’s most populous city, Virginia Beach, four military veterans are competing for the GOP nomination. With a big fundraising lead and the backing of the Congressional Leadership Fund, a super PAC dedicated to electing House Republicans, state Sen. Jen Kiggans is widely seen as the front-runner. The winner will face Democrat Elaine Luria, a retired Naval commander and member of the Jan. 6 committee, in the general election.
In central Virginia’s 7th District, six candidates are jockeying to take on Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger, a former CIA officer.
WASHINGTON, D.C.
Bowser, the two-term mayor of Washington, D.C., is trying to fend off challenges from a pair of Council members as the district contends with rising crime rates and homelessness concerns.
Bowser has had a tumultuous second term that saw her repeatedly face off against Trump and walk a public tightrope between her own police department and a vocal coalition of activists led by Black Lives Matter. She is campaigning on the need for proven leadership and her history as one of the faces of Washington’s ongoing quest for statehood.
Her primary challengers are Robert White and Trayon White, who are not related to each other. Both accuse Bowser of mishandling public safety issues amid rising violent crime rates and favoring developers as spiraling costs of living drive Black families out of the city.
The Democratic primary essentially decides the mayoral race in deeply blue Washington, D.C.
Robert White has a history of successful insurgent campaigns, having unseated an entrenched incumbent for an at-large Council seat in 2016.
Trayon White openly invokes the spirit of late D.C. Mayor Marion Barry, who remains a controversial but beloved figure among many Washingtonians. White was criticized in 2018 for claiming the Rothschilds, a Jewish banking dynasty and frequent subject of antisemitic conspiracy, were controlling Washington’s weather conditions. He later said he didn’t realize his comment could be construed as antisemitic.

FILE - A visitor passes the TikTok exhibition stands at the Gamescom computer gaming fair in Cologne, Germany, Thursday, Aug. 25, 2022. The European Union's executive arm said Thursday, Feb. 23, 2023 it has temporarily banned TikTok from phones used by employees as a cybersecurity measure, reflecting growing worries from authorities over the Chinese-owned video sharing app.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — The Danish parliament on Tuesday urged lawmakers and employees with the 179-member assembly against having TikTok on work phones as a cybersecurity measure, saying “there is a risk of espionage.”
The popular video-sharing app, which is Chinese-owned, faces intensifying scrutiny from Europe and the U.S. over security and data privacy amid worries that TikTok could be used to promote pro-Beijing views or sweep up users’ information.
Danish parliamentary Speaker Søren Gade said that an email had been sent out Tuesday to lawmakers and employees with ”a strong recommendation that you delete the TikTok app if you have previously installed it.”
The assembly acted after an assessment from Denmark’s Center for Cyber Security, which had said there was a risk of espionage. The agency is part of Denmark’s foreign intelligence service.
“We adapt accordingly,” Gade said in a statement.
It wasn't immediately known how many Danish lawmakers have TikTok installed. In recent days, several politicians have publicly announced that they had deleted the app from their work phone for cybersecurity reasons.
Earlier this month, the European Union’s executive branch said it has temporarily banned TikTok from phones used by employees as a cybersecurity measure.
The EU’s action follows similar moves in the U.S., where more than half of the country's 50 states and Congress have banned TikTok from official government devices.
In Norway, which isn't a member of the 27-nation EU, the justice minister was forced to apologize this month for failing to disclose that she had installed TikTok on her government-issued phone.

SAVANNAH, Ga., June 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hargray Fiber announced it has begun expansion of the company's ultra-fast, state-of-the-art, all-fiber Internet network into residential neighborhoods in Rincon, GA. The company began serving businesses in Georgia in 2010, and the expansion into residential areas is part of Hargray Fiber's long-term goal to bring the most advanced and fastest Internet available anywhere in the world to more than 500,000 homes and businesses across the United States by 2027.
Hargray Fiber's Southeast President, Ashley Phillips, stressed the importance of the company's investment in consumers and the broader local community. "We are headquartered nearby, in Savannah, so expanding our high-speed internet to families in the outlying neighborhoods is extra special. We are committed to providing previously underserved communities with the high-speed connectivity that is essential for families, businesses, and local economies so we can see them continue to thrive," said Phillips.
Featuring gigabit download and upload speeds, Hargray Fiber will bring ten times more speed to consumer doorsteps at a time when fast, reliable Internet is becoming increasingly critical to modern households. "More and more, we see households where multiple bandwidth-intensive activities occur simultaneously and many consumers' Internet connections just aren't up to the task," added John Robertson, Savannah Region General Manager. "The Hargray Fiber network solves that problem."
For many consumers, the Internet touches every facet of daily life. Remote work, telehealth, and virtual learning all require robust, reliable connections. A 2021 study by Deloitte indicated that 55% of U.S. households include one or more remote workers, and 43% include at least one household member attending virtual classes.
Hargray Fiber has begun construction in Rincon. For more information, visit https://residential.hargray.com/hargrayfiberexpansion.
Hargray Fiber is an Internet service provider based in Savannah, GA that operates a more than 2,000 route mile fiber network serving business, enterprise, and residential customers in a wide range of communities throughout the Midwest and Southeastern United States, including Savannah, Pooler, Macon, and Valdosta. Hargray Fiber belongs to the Clearwave Fiber family of brands, serving cities across the Midwest and Southeast regions of the United States.

With surging inflation, the last thing you want are impulse purchases you don't really need. But, many of us are making even more of those purchases due to all the slick ads flooding our social media feeds.
Impulse buying used to be something we did at the mall when something caught our eye and we bought it on the spot. But, these days, it's happening more and more on social media, thanks to ads and influencers.
"I literally bought a Nintendo Switch because I kept seeing it on Instagram, so that was a big purchase," Brianna Stryker said.
Her friend Erica Yuan also knows about impulse buying.
"I've bought a lot of things off of TikTok," she admitted. "So I'll see skin care products and go to Amazon and order the item right then."
You know how it works: You're sitting there waiting for lunch, and you're scrolling through your Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or Twitter feed and suddenly you see something that you never thought you needed.
But now that you see it, you feel like you definitely need to have it.
Many people spend hundreds of dollars a month
A recent survey commissioned by SlickDeals.net claims the average American spends more than $300 impulsively every month, with clothing as the number one impulse purchase in 2022.
Another survey by Bankrate.com found half the people on social media make impulse purchases. But, it says 64 percent later regret those not-so-needed items.
So how can you cut back?
Bankrate analyst Sarah Foster suggests keeping your finger off the purchase button:
- Make a 24-hour rule: Put an item in your cart, or take a screenshot, but give yourself a day to think it over.
- Build up a fund for discretionary purchases for when you want to make that impulse buy.
"So by setting your finances up for those purchases that you can afford," Foster said, "you will ultimately end up enjoying them."
So think before your click, and that way, you don't waste your money.

The founder and former CEO of bankrupt cryptocurrency platform FTX on Friday said he will testify before a House committee next week despite his initial reluctance.
In a Friday tweet, Sam Bankman-Fried announced he would testify before the House Financial Services Committee at its Tuesday hearing on the collapse of FTX.
“I still do not have access to much of my data — professional or personal. So there is a limit to what I will be able to say, and I won’t be as helpful as I’d like. But as the committee still thinks it would be useful, I am willing to testify on the 13th,” Bankman-Fried tweeted Friday.
He added that he will “try to be helpful” and shed light on “FTX US’s solvency and American customers,” ways to compensate international users, what he thinks led to the crash and his “own failings.”
Bankman-Fried’s decision to testify comes after intense pressure from House Financial Services Committee Chairwoman Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and ranking member Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.). The duo had been pushing Bankman-Fried over Twitter to appear before their panel and answer questions under oath from lawmakers after giving several high-profile interviews to journalists.
Bankman-Fried said last week he would appear before the Financial Services panel once he finished “learning and reviewing” what happened at FTX. But his answer did not fly with Waters, who insisted he bring his apology tour to the Capitol.
“Based on your role as CEO and your media interviews over the past few weeks, it’s clear to us that the information you have thus far is sufficient for testimony,” Waters said in a Monday tweet to Bankman-Fried.
“The collapse of FTX has harmed over one million people. Your testimony would not only be meaningful to Members of Congress, but is also critical to the American people.”
Bankman-Fried’s decision to appear means he will face questions from lawmakers about the FTX collapse under oath. While Congress cannot bring criminal charges against an individual, it can share potentially incriminating material with regulators and law enforcement investigating FTX. He could also face charges if he lies to lawmakers, raising the stakes of his upcoming testimony.
Bankman-Fried did not say whether he would also agree to appear before the Senate Banking Committee during its own hearing on FTX scheduled for Wednesday.
Senate Banking Committee Chairman Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and ranking member Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) have threatened to subpoena Bankman-Fried to testify if he refuses to do so voluntarily.
The Hill has reached out to Bankman-Fried on Twitter about whether he will also testify before the Banking panel. | 2022-12-09T16:52:04+00:00 | kxnet.com | https://www.kxnet.com/hill-politics/ftx-founder-bankman-fried-agrees-to-testify-at-house-hearing-on-collapse/ |

By DIANE JEANTET and JOSHUA GOODMAN
Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — In the run-up to Brazil’s presidential election, many feared a narrow result would spell the death knell for Latin America’s largest democracy.
So far, however, the worst has been averted, despite a nail-biting victory for former leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva over far-right incumbent Jair Bolsonaro, and ongoing protests by Bolsonaro’s supporters across the country.
The conservative leader’s allies quickly recognized da Silva’s victory, the military stayed in the barracks and vigilant world leaders swooped in to offer support for da Silva and nip in the bud even the thought of anything resembling the Jan. 6 insurrection that overtook the U.S. Capitol.
“All of Bolsonaro’s escape valves were shut off,” said Brian Winter, a longtime Brazil expert and vice president of the New York-based Council of the Americas. “He was prevailed upon from all sides not to contest the results and burn down the house on his way out.”
Although Bolsonaro has refused to congratulate da Silva or disavow die-hard protesters who remained on the streets Wednesday, Brazil’s institutions generally seem to have held up.
That leaves a more vexing challenge: how the 77-year-old da Silva, universally known as Lula, unites a deeply divided country, rights a wobbly economy and delivers on the outsize expectations spurred by his return to power.
One thing is clear, if anyone can do it, it’s the charismatic da Silva — whose political skills are admired even by his detractors.
“That’s what we need, someone not only who can address inequality but also inspire our emotions and ideas,” said Marcelo Neri, director of the Getulio Vargas Foundation’s social policy center, who led the Ministry of Strategic Affairs in the Cabinet of da Silva’s handpicked successor, Dilma Rousseff.
In many ways, the conservative movement Bolsonaro helped ignite — if not the politician himself — has emerged stronger from the vote, Winter said. His allies were elected as governors in several key states and his Liberal Party has become the largest in Congress, curtailing da Silva’s ability to advance his own agenda after a decadelong malaise that has left millions of Brazilians hungrier than when da Silva last held office in 2010.
What’s more, Brazil’s demographics seem to favor Bolsonaro’s aggressive brand of identity politics — including an anti-LGBTQ agenda and hostility to environmentalists — that have earned him the moniker “Trump of the Tropics.”
The country’s own statistics institute forecasts that the number of Brazilians identifying as evangelical Christians — who preelection polls show overwhelmingly favored Bolsonaro and skew right — will overtake Roman Catholics within a decade.
Thousands of Bolsonaro’s supporters thronged a regional army headquarters in Rio on Wednesday, demanding that the military step in and keep him in power. Outside a military building in the state of Santa Catarina, hundreds of protesters gave the Nazi salute while chanting the national anthem. Meanwhile, truckers maintained about 150 roadblocks across the country to protest Bolsonaro’s loss, despite the Supreme Court’s orders to law enforcement to dismantle them.
Since the return of democracy in the 1980s, all Brazilian leaders have been guided to varying degrees by a common belief in strong state-led enterprises, high taxes and aggressive wealth redistribution policies.
Bolsonaro initially attempted to run a more austere, business-friendly government, that is, until the social devastation wreaked by COVID-19 and his own sinking electoral prospects ultimately led him to loosen spending controls and emulate the policies he once attacked.
How da Silva will govern is less clear. He squeaked out a narrow victory of barely 2 million votes after forming a broad coalition of players. And with promises to maintain a generous welfare program in place through 2023, he will have limited fiscal space to spend on other priorities.
His running mate from another party, former Sao Paulo Governor Geraldo Alckim, was a nod to centrist, fiscally conservative policies that made da Silva the darling of Wall Street during his early years in power. This week, da Silva tapped Alckim to lead his transition team.
Also standing alongside him on the victory stage Sunday night, however, were several stalwarts of the left who have been implicated in numerous corruption scandals that have plagued his Workers’ Party and paved the way for Bolsonaro’s rise.
Although da Silva’s supporters have downplayed the concerns about corruption — the Supreme Court annulled the convictions that kept him behind bars for nearly two years — for many Brazilians he is a symbol of the culture of graft that has long permeated politics. As a result, he’s likely to be held to a higher ethical standard in a country where political support is often obtained in exchange for Cabinet appointments and budgets.
“This wasn’t just a fever dream by his opponents,” Winter said of the corruption allegations that have long dogged da Silva’s party.
Da Silva’s victory coincides with a string of recent victories by the left in South America, including in Chile and Colombia, whose leaders revere the former union boss. During his first stint in power, da Silva led a so-called pink wave that promoted regional integration, rivaled U.S. dominance and put the rights of overlooked minorities and Indigenous groups at the center of the political agenda.
Under Bolsonaro, Brazil largely retreated from that leadership role, even if the sheer size of its economy alone means a return to leadership is never far off.
Scott Hamilton, a former U.S. diplomat, said that da Silva will have to make a tough choice on whether to use Brazil’s considerable leverage to pursue an ambitious foreign policy to tackle entrenched problems or simply use his star power on the world stage to shore up support at home.
“Basking in not being Bolsonaro will get him lots of positive attention in itself,” said Hamilton, whose last post, until April, was as consul general in Rio. “The more ambitious path would involve trying to help resolve some of the toughest political issues where democratic governments in the region are in trouble or extinguished.”

It’s hard to top President Biden’s Afghan withdrawal for reckless policymaking, but his student-loan forgiveness scheme is a contender for his second-worst decision.
Based merely on his say-so, with no credible congressional authorization, Biden is going to forgive $10,000 in student debt for individuals with incomes below $125,000 or household incomes below $250,000. Those who received a Pell Grant are eligible for $20,000 in relief.
Forgiveness is a sop to a narrow class of people. It is unfair to people who haven’t gone to college, predominantly lower income. It is unfair to people who did go to college and didn’t take on loans. It is unfair to people who repaid their loans. It is unfair to people who will take a loan the day after the forgiveness goes into effect.
The New York Times news story on the forgiveness features a young woman whose parents are immigrants from Mexico and went to community college for two years before transferring to UCLA. She’s delighted that almost all her loans will be wiped out, but the Times notes that she’s currently getting a master’s degree … at the London School of Economics.
Presumably, she was going to be OK without getting showered with federal largesse denied to the children of immigrants who haven’t gone to college, let alone pursued an advanced degree at one of the most prestigious institutions in the Western world.
Even if this young woman is poor now, it is doubtful that she’ll be poor forever. As Brian Riedl of the Manhattan Institute notes, the typical millennial student with debt incurred $30,000 for a bachelor’s degree. That’s a lot, but the degree will boost incomes over a lifetime by $1-2.8 million.
Of course, there are low-income people who are struggling with their student debt. Even if you think they should get relief, the Biden policy doesn’t narrowly target them. Former Obama economist Jason Furman points out that Biden’s forgiveness could provide $40,000 in relief to a married couple making just under $250,000, and it includes debt incurred at graduate schools.
The fact is that the top 40% of the income distribution carries a bigger share of student debt than the bottom 40%.
There is all sorts of other debt Biden could theoretically forgive that is widely distributed up and down the income scale and is a burden to people, too, whether from auto loans or credit cards.
Instead, student debt has been the obsession of Biden and his supporters. They deny it, of course, but their focus reflects a deeply held, profoundly insulting assumption that those who have earned university degrees are more valuable and worthy than all those Americans who haven’t.
Then, there are the broader economic effects. Advocates of loan forgiveness used to argue that it would be stimulative, but in an inflationary environment, they aren’t putting that argument front and center anymore. Biden’s move will cost roughly $500 billion, and none of it is paid for, easily swamping the cuts to the deficit Democrats touted in their so-called Inflation Reduction Act.
The program is a debacle at every level and isn’t product of a messy congressional compromise or unavoidable circumstances — it’s Biden’s doing, and his alone.

THE CENTER SQUARE
(The Center Square) – American national security is threatened by President Joe Biden’s “energy spending spree,” U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, says.
Under recent spending legislation such as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act, which both included increased spending and research into more sustainable energy sources, almost $83.6 billion will be going into 71 new department programs at the Department of Energy this year, almost doubling the department’s entire budget from last year of $44.3 billion.
Rep. Rodgers, R-Wash., pointed to concerns about an overreliance on supply chains from foreign powers, citing China Russia President Vladimir Putin’s control over Europe’s natural gas supply.
“This is our future if we continue to cede our energy and supply chain security to China,” she said at a Wednesday committee hearing.
The Biden administration says the funding is needed to further move the U.S. toward more renewable energy to combat the impacts of climate change.
But the administration’s green energy agenda “weakens American energy and national security and wastes American taxpayer dollars, which should be going towards supporting American jobs and innovation,” Rep. Rodgers said.
Rep. Rodgers also called what she says is a lack of transparency on where taxpayer dollars are going, saying “beginning in March of this year, we’ve requested that federal agencies, including the Department of Energy, provide monthly accounting of the funds they received under recent major spending legislation […] To date, we’ve received only one response from the DOE, and it was incomplete. This is unacceptable.”
The announced portfolio of projects from the Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains also gave Rep. Rodgers concern. The office, created in February 2022, planned to administer $12 billion in projects, with one of the new programs including a $200 million grant to Microvast, Inc., a battery company that performs the bulk of production in China, Rep. Rodgers said.
The company’s own filings said that “the PRC Government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities and may intervene, at any time, and with no notice,” she added.
Rep. Rodgers said she found it “deeply troubling” that such a grant was approved for a company so influenced by the Chinese government using millions of American taxpayer dollars. The Department had recently decided not to move forward with the grant, but the reasoning for its approval in the first place remains unclear.
“Time and again we’ve requested information and testimony on how this happened, and time and again the Department failed to be accountable and transparent,” Rep. Rodgers said.
“It is time for the Department of Energy to start being transparent with this committee and the American people, who deserve every assurance that their tax dollars are not being funneled to China.” | 2023-06-23T19:16:27+00:00 | newspress.com | https://newspress.com/concerns-for-national-security-grow-amid-biden-administrations-increased-energy-spending/ |
Chaos at UK airports as nationwide border system fails
By Sharon Braithwaite, CNN
(CNN) — A nationwide border system issue has hit electronic gates at British airports, causing chaos for holidaymakers and passengers arriving into the country.
Images on social media showed long queues building at major airports, with many looking to travel ahead of a public holiday Monday and with schools also on half-term breaks.
The failure means travelers must have their passports checked manually rather than by machine.
“We are aware of a nationwide border system issue affecting arrivals into the UK,” a Home Office spokesperson told CNN in a statement on Saturday.
“We are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible and are liaising with port operators and airlines to minimise disruption for travellers,” the spokesperson added.
A London Heathrow airport spokesperson said: “We are aware of a nationwide issue impacting the eGates, which are operated by Border Force.
“This issue is impacting a number of ports of entry and is not Heathrow specific. Our teams are working closely with Border Force to help resolve the problem as quickly as possible and we have additional colleagues on hand to manage queues and provide passenger welfare.
Lucy Morton from the Immigration Services Union told BBC’s Radio 4 that depending on the airport 60% to 80% of travelers go through e-gates.
“There’s no impact on national security, in fact, actually it will improve national security because every single arriving passenger will be seen by a human being, not a machine,” she said.
“But it will build queues and that in itself builds its own set of problems. People becomes frustrated, they take it out on the staff. The staff get verbally abused, on occasion staff get physically abused, they get hit. All of this will start to cascade through the day.”

Georgia judge orders prosecutors to reply to Trump challenge
Atlanta – A Georgia judge on Monday ordered the Fulton County district attorney’s office to respond to a motion by former President Donald Trump to throw out a report by a special grand jury that investigated attempts to interfere in the state’s 2020 presidential election.
The motion by Trump’s legal team also seeks to toss out all testimony from the inquiry and to bar Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from continuing to investigate or prosecute Trump.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ordered Willis to respond by May 1 and to let him know whether an in-person hearing is needed to resolve any issues. A spokesperson for Willis said her office would reply through its court filings.
The filing is an effort by Trump to escape one of the multiple legal challenges he faces, including a state inquiry in New York into hush money payments to women who alleged sexual encounters with the former president as well as a pair of U.S. Justice Department criminal investigations. One examines his efforts to overturn his loss in the 2020 election. The other examines Trump’s possession of hundreds of classified documents at his Florida estate.
Willis began her investigation shortly after the release of a recording of a January 2021 phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. In that conversation, the then-president suggested that Raffensperger, a fellow Republican, could “find” the exact number of votes needed to overturn Trump’s narrow election loss in the state to Democrat Joe Biden.
The special grand jury heard from about 75 witnesses and considered other evidence before issuing a report that includes recommendations for Willis on criminal charges. McBurney released the report’s introduction and conclusion, as well as a section in which the grand jurors expressed concerns that some witnesses may have lied under oath, but the rest of the report has remained under wraps so far.
Willis said in a January hearing that decisions on indictments were “imminent.”
The challenge by Trump's legal team, filed last Monday, also contended that McBurney misinterpreted Georgia law and erred by not disqualifying Willis from the entire probe when he ruled in July that Willis could not pursue charges against Burt Jones, now Georgia's lieutenant governor.
Trump's lawyers asked for another judge besides McBurney to hear the challenge. He did not acknowledge that push in Monday's brief order.
The lawyers also faulted Willis for granting repeated news interviews, citing a list of 39 media appearances and saying her comments cast ”a shadow of bias over her office and the entire investigation."
Trump's lawyers similarly argued that interviews that the foreperson and other grand jurors have given should disqualify the case. | 2023-03-27T17:57:15+00:00 | detroitnews.com | https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/nation/2023/03/27/georgia-judge-orders-prosecutors-to-reply-to-trump-challenge/70052570007/ |
When President Biden hosted a celebration with lawmakers on the South Lawn last month to mark the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, Democrats' signature spending package, there was an unique group of guests joining them.
More than 20 influencers — content creators with devoted followers on platforms like TikTok, Instagram and YouTube — received special invitations.
It's part of a White House strategy to reach younger people where they are — which often is scrolling on a device.
@underthedesknews Wild huh!? ♬ original sound - UnderTheDeskNews
"I got a magical email from the digital communications team at the White House saying they were going to be doing essentially a creator briefing for the Inflation Reduction Act," said V Spehar, who hosts "Under The Desk News," which provides daily news wraps in about a minute to their 2.7 million TikTok followers.
"I thought perhaps it was going to be similar to what we see from legacy media groups who get a press briefing from the press secretary," Spehar said. "This was a little bit more intimate than that."
The influencers got their own briefing, and Biden dropped in
Spehar and the other influencers gathered in the Roosevelt Room ahead of the ceremony and were briefed on the legislation by members of the National Economic Council, the climate policy office and Biden and Vice President Harris themselves.
"Honestly, I don't care what side of the aisle you're on, when the president and the vice president walk in the room, it's a cool moment," Spehar said.
This isn't the first time the White House has worked with influencers. Spehar was part of a virtual briefing earlier this year on the war in Ukraine — a briefing that Saturday Night Live was quick to parody.
Spehar has a sense of humor about the spoof, but said the joke really is on people who underestimate what TikTok has to offer.
"Legacy media had a good time making a joke about TikTokers being invited to a White House briefing," Spehar said. "It just showed how out of touch people are with what the current state of communication is for young people."
Americans are increasingly getting their news from social media, including the billion-user strong platform TikTok. According to Pew Research, 33% of U.S. adults ages 18-29 and 15% ages 30-49 say they prefer to get their news from social media.

The White House sees this as a way to reach people where they are
Democrats want to get credit from voters for the climate and health care measures in the Inflation Reduction Act. To explain it to more people, the White House decided to hold briefings to "educate and activate prominent content creators to amplify our message on their own online social media channels," according to an August memo.
"The White House social media accounts, they're big, they reach a lot of people. But very often, we're talking to an audience of people who have opted in to hear from us," said Rob Flaherty, the White House director of digital strategy.
"The reality is, if we want to go out and talk to a wide amount of people whose lives are going to be impacted by the Inflation Reduction Act, and both take credit and also tell people how they can access some of the benefits, then we need to get out into the digital communities that people exist in — and that means spending time with digital creators who have huge reaches into those audiences," he told NPR.
It's a strategy that acknowledges the White House is not necessarily the most effective messenger for all audiences.
"Influencers on social media, they need to project authenticity to come across as being genuine," said Yini Zhang, a professor at SUNY Buffalo who studies social media and political communication. "That persona really is effective in terms of creating this bond between influencers and their followers. I think that partially explains why young people might place more trust in influencers than in journalists."
In addition to the briefings on Ukraine and the Inflation Reduction Act, the White House has engaged with influencers on student loan forgiveness and Biden did a YouTube town hall about COVID-19 vaccines.
"It's an incredibly fragmented, polarized media environment, and that means we have to go to a lot of different places to make sure people are hearing from the White House and hearing from the president," Flaherty said.
These influencers are into policy, not just products
A.B. Burns-Tucker, also known as "iamlegallyhype" on social media, was part of the influencer briefing in September. She said some people still associate the term 'influencer' with consumerism.
"At first it was just the flat tummy tea girls, right?" she chuckled. "And now, you see people like me and others who are outside of mainstream news and people are gravitating to the information we present."
Burns-Tucker is a law student and shares political and legal content.
"My followers don't necessarily follow mainstream news all the time, but they still have this desire to be in-the-know," she said. "It's that group of people who are just like, 'I want to hear it straight, no chaser. I don't want to hear all those syllables that they say on CNN, just tell me the tea.' "
Burns-Tucker said being in a room with the people who helped shape Biden's policy gave her important context, and she plans on doing more posts breaking down the legislation. She said it shouldn't be shocking that the White House wants to tap into networks like her own.
"We have these large platforms and our supporters really rock with us," she said. "They trust us and they look forward to what we have to say, and I think it was smart of [the White House] to use [these] resources."
@iamlegallyhype To some, this act is a major victory because it will reduce the national debt, lower the price of healthcare, create jobs and help save our planet. To others, this act is wasteful because large corporations will be taxed 15%. Do you think this is a victory or a waste? #OkaySoBoom #inflationreductionact #climate ♬ original sound - IAMLEGALLYHYPE
Most followers were excited to see the posts from the White House, but some were skeptical
Burns-Tucker said she got mostly positive feedback from her 633,000 TikTok followers after her visit. "Some people were like, 'Cool, now I could get some solar panels — like now my granny's prescriptions are going to be cheaper,' " she said.
But there was some skepticism, too. "One of the things is always like, 'Oh, you went to the White House. So now you're gonna say whatever the White House telling you to say,' right? And it's like, no, just because I earn my space doesn't mean I'm gonna be a puppet for somebody."
The White House told the influencers they recognize they're independent.
"We're not expecting them to become Biden administration propagandists," Flaherty said. "But we want to make sure that they have the best information that they can get and be able to ask questions, just like reporters would, to be able to inform their audiences."
Past White Houses have also looked to use the latest technology for messaging
There's a long history of White Houses trying to take advantage of the latest tool to get its message out.
"Presidents have recognized the benefits of culture and technology for well over a century," said Tevi Troy, a presidential historian and head of the presidential leadership initiative at the Bipartisan Policy Center.
Franklin D. Roosevelt had his radio fireside chats. John F. Kennedy was first to show a press conference live on television. But the advent of social media gives the White House the ability to "aim for specific audiences that they want to reach and put out the tailored message without going through the various filters of the news media," Troy said.
Troy said the George W. Bush campaign in 2004 pioneered micro-targeting — a nascent tool that campaigns would quickly replicate.
Four years later, Barack Obama championed the use of Facebook as both a campaign and governing tool. His White House worked with content creators to share information about the Affordable Care Act, said Nathaniel Lubin, who led digital strategy at the time. "We were afraid those people wouldn't have heard of it otherwise."
Jason Goldman, who worked as the chief digital officer at the end of the Obama administration, recalled working with social media creators during the 2016 outbreak of the mosquito-borne Zika virus.
"We could put out the surgeon general, and say, 'You don't have to be concerned unless you go to these areas,' but it's a scary situation. There's only a certain amount of trust that the government medical experts have," he said.
"So we did a thing where we put the surgeon general in a Facebook group of concerned parents and it was an opportunity for that group to ask questions of the surgeon general on their home turf."

The strategy may have some pitfalls
Troy acknowledged there are potential pitfalls of using influencers to spread policy messages. "They may not be sophisticated political actors, they may not be policy focused," he said. "Maybe they say, 'OK, I'll go to the White House, but I'm not going to do much else.'"
And access to the White House doesn't automatically guarantee content. In fact, some members of the group last month didn't seem to post much beyond a selfie.
Zhang said social media influencers can expand the reach of policy messages, but "they're not professional information gatherers," she said, noting keeping things short and buzzy could affect the quality of the content.
"They might have to tailor the information and make it more palatable to their respective followers," she said.
Flaherty said both the creators and the White House are still learning what it means to work with each other — but that's to be expected.
"I am sure the first time the White House was like, 'Hey, we're going to put a bunch of reporters in a room and they're gonna shout questions at us,' somebody was like, 'What are you doing?!' But now it's like standard operating procedure."

The numbers are in: Are you the winner of the $685 million Mega Millions prize?
Video above: Couple talks about 15 years as official Pennsylvania Lottery witnesses
The Mega Millions jackpot increased to $685 million ahead of Friday night's drawing, giving lottery players a chance to ring in the New Year with an even larger bonus in their bank account.
The numbers for Friday's drawing were: white balls 1, 3, 6, 44 and 51, and the gold Mega Ball was 7.
There have been 21 straight drawings without a jackpot winner thanks to stiff odds of one in 302.6 million. That has allowed the top prize to grow steadily larger, week after week.
The estimated $685 million prize is for a winner who chooses to be paid through an annuity, with annual checks over 29 years. Nearly all winners opt for cash, which for Friday night's drawing would be an estimated $347.8 million.
The jackpot is the largest since a $2.04 billion Powerball prize was won Nov. 8 in California. A winner hasn't been announced for that record-setting payout.
Mega Millions is played in 45 states as well as Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. | 2022-12-31T05:14:04+00:00 | wxii12.com | https://www.wxii12.com/article/december-30-2022-million-mega-millions-drawing/42370411 |
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Elections officials in a central Pennsylvania county were scrambling on Monday to fix an error on more than 18,000 mail-in ballots for the spring primary, when voters will elect judges for the state Supreme Court and other positions.

Late last week someone noticed that the ballot for Superior Court instructed Republican and Democratic primary voters to pick only one judicial candidate to nominate from their party, when in fact voters could pick two, according to Lancaster County’s elections board. There are two vacancies to fill on the mid-level appeals court.
By early Monday afternoon, postal officials had helped Lancaster, which is about 71 miles (114 kilometers) west of Philadelphia, intercept and safely secure over 15,000 of the affected ballots, officials said.
The problem comes as voters are just receiving mail-in ballots for the primary, which also includes a vacancy on the state Supreme Court.

Voters will receive replacements with corrected wording and a sheet of instructions. Those who received an erroneous ballot were told to throw it out and wait for a replacement. Ballots from those who fill out and return erroneous versions will be “set aside” by the elections board, the county said.
The deadline to return mail-in ballots is May 16.
Pennsylvania is a closely divided swing state that is expected to be a major battleground in next year’s presidential contest. Lancaster is a Republican-majority area with a large farm economy and a growing suburban population. More than 220,000 Lancaster residents voted in the November gubernatorial election.
Lancaster County also had a printing problem with primary ballots a year ago, when a vendor mailed ballots with the wrong ID code, preventing scanning machines from reading them. About one-third of the 21,000-plus ballots affected last year were able to be properly scanned. The votes had to be painstakingly transferred to fresh ballots.

Lancaster also faced a ballot printing error in 2021, when a large number of primary mail-in ballots had to be counted by hand, delaying final results. In that case, the Lancaster County Board of Elections said some 14,000 multi-sheet ballots had been printed in the wrong order. | 2023-04-17T22:29:46+00:00 | seattlepi.com | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/politics/article/printing-error-forces-pennsylvania-county-to-17902508.php |
(WJW) — Bills safety Damar Hamlin took to Instagram on Sunday to post the first picture of himself in recovery since suffering a terrifying medical emergency during Monday Night Football last week.
A photo of Hamlin in his hospital bed holding up a heart signal simply has the caption, “Gametime.”
It was the second post of the day on Instagram showing support for his team, who faced the New England Patriots on Sunday.
Before the game started, Hamlin posted a hype video of his team arriving on the field with the caption, “It’s GameDay & There’s Nothing I Want More Than To Be Running Out That Tunnel With My Brothers… God Using Me In A Different Way Today! Tell Someone You Love Them Today!”
The echoes of “Let’s Go Buffalo!” pregame chants were still reverberating through an emotionally charged Bills stadium celebrating Hamlin when another roar suddenly erupted as Nyheim Hines returned the opening kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown.
Some three hours later, and after Hines returned another kickoff 101 yards for a go-ahead score in a 35-23 win over the Patriots, the fans were on their feet chanting “Hamlin! Hamlin! Hamlin!” Bills players held up three fingers in honor of the injured safety’s No. 3 jersey.
The young Buffalo Bills player also posted to Instagram Saturday evening, asking fans, “Keep praying for me.”
After going into cardiac arrest during the early minutes of the game against the Cincinnati Bengals, the 24-year-old was able to talk and breathe on his own Friday after his breathing tube was taken out.

For small islands in the Pacific, a powerful cyclone can be devastating. In 2020, Cyclone Harold hit the island nation of Vanuatu, destroying schools and fields of crops. In one province, 90% of the population lost their homes.
The $600 million in damage represents more than 60% of the country's gross domestic product.
"This is huge sums of our national wealth that is being erased by climate extremes," says Christopher Bartlett, who works on climate diplomacy for Vanuatu.
Vanuatu is part of a coalition of low-income countries calling on wealthier nations to pay for climate damages. Developing countries have produced very little of the pollution driving climate change. Wealthier nations such as the United States have been the biggest emitters of greenhouse gasses. But developing countries are already bearing the brunt of the destructive impacts, like storms, floods and droughts.
With the world far off-track from its goal of stopping dangerous levels of warming, developing countries say that wealthier nations should pay for the inevitable "loss and damage" they'll experience.
So far, richer countries have delayed committing funds, though they've agreed to take up the issue at the COP27 climate negotiations now getting underway in Egypt. At last year's summit, nations agreed to start a dialogue about loss and damage, a process that developing countries say has fallen far short.
The Biden administration has signaled its support for addressing loss and damage. But dollar amounts are still elusive, and it's not clear how payments might be delivered.
Talks about money at COP27 are happening as richer countries face their own economic turmoil, including inflation, possible recession and energy upheaval stemming from the Russian war in Ukraine. But without progress on loss and damage, the chances get a lot slimmer that the world can stick together on an already difficult path to cutting emissions.
"For some group of developing countries, for them it could be the last straw," says Preety Bhandari, senior advisor on climate finance at the World Resources Institute. "It really could be the last straw and they might be ready to walk out."
$177 million: Vanuatu's starting point for climate compensation
For Vanuatu, a South Pacific nation made up of 82 small islands, few people are insulated from a changing climate. Agriculture there largely depends on rainfall patterns. Fishing is a vital industry. Many people live close to the coast.
The country's leaders have made it clear that climate change threatens Vanuatu's very survival. To advance the conversation at COP27, Vanuatu has laid out a starting point for its loss and damage needs, totaling $177 million.
"What is happening now is affecting human lives and human rights," says Bakoa Kaltongga, Vanuatu's climate envoy. "We small islands and people of the small islands have every right to exist in the world, just as all you major nations of the north."
The plan doesn't include disaster relief from cyclones, which are getting stronger and more intense as global temperatures rise. An international system of humanitarian aid generally kicks into gear after a crisis, though it often falls short of supporting a full recovery.
Vanuatu's leaders say it's the slower-moving climate impacts that are hard to get help with, like rising oceans. On Vanuatu's coast, water is rising at a faster rate than the global average. Many coastal communities may need to be relocated, a fraught and challenging process in any part of the world.
The bulk of Vanuatu's proposal would go to creating a loss and damage fund, so residents could receive compensation quickly. Other funding would go to setting up systems to help with relocation efforts and support displaced people.
"It's to ensure that as we relocate populations, that we do that in an advance-planned way so people can move with dignity and not be scrambling at the last minute without the basic services and protections that we deserve," Bartlett says.
Loss and damage also means paying for what can't be replaced
While communities can potentially be rebuilt in new places, some of what's lost can't be regained. Important cultural sites may disappear under rising water. In Vanuatu, burial grounds are at risk, so some funding would also go to community-led discussions about how best to preserve their connection to ancestors.
"I can't tell you how many times when entering the community that you see graves and grave sites half exposed to the rising tides," Bartlett says. "And it's devastating because that's such an important connection to history and ancestry here in the Pacific."
The country's coral reefs are also at risk of collapsing. Oceans are getting warmer and more acidic, which can cause corals to bleach, turning a ghostly white. After repeated marine heat waves, corals simply can't bounce back.
Losing reefs would be fundamentally destabilizing, both as an ecological change and for the many local fishermen who depend on them for their livelihoods.
Debate remains over how loss and damage payments would work
Worldwide, the toll of loss and damage is expected to balloon as the climate gets hotter. One study shows that costs from loss and damage could reach $290 billion to $580 billion in 2030 and rise to more than $1 trillion per year in 2050.
At last year's climate talks in Glasgow, a bloc of developing nations asked for a fund or "facility" to be set up to disburse loss and damage funds. But as negotiations wore on, they settled on a three-year dialogue, which developing countries say lacks a clear decision-making mandate.
At this year's negotiations in Egypt, the debate is expected to continue over whether a new fund should be set up. Some support using existing humanitarian aid networks. Others have suggested that countries should have international loans forgiven, if it's linked to their climate vulnerability. Many countries have already taken on more debt after major disasters hit, on top of international loans they have for broader societal development.
"Many of these countries are burdened by debt," says U.S. special climate envoy John Kerry. "They are greatly impacted by what happens with respect to the crisis, the climate. And then they turn around and the west or the north offers them more debt. That isn't going to work."
Talks this year could take on new urgency, however, after the unprecedented damage in Pakistan from extreme floods. Millions of people were displaced, with damage totaling more than $30 billion dollars. At least 1500 people were killed.
"The recent floods in Pakistan have clearly shown what loss and damage can look like and what the toll could be," Bhandari says. "Not only in terms of human lives and economic losses, but also in terms of all the development gains which are being lost in countries which are really trying to leapfrog into the next level of development."

Wildlife experts rescue manatee hooked in the face and tangled in fishing wire
(Gray News) – Wildlife experts rescued a manatee near Crystal River, Florida, that had fishing line wrapped around its flipper, making it difficult for it to swim.
A large fishing lure was hooked to the manatee’s face and flipper as well, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation said in a post on Facebook.
Experts successfully captured the manatee to remove the lure and take the animal to Zoo Tampa at Lowry Park for rehabilitation.
FWC posted video of the entangled manatee showing how difficult it was for the animal to maneuver with one fin.
“It’s important to ensure that we all do our part to prevent entanglements by disposing of trash, monofilament fishing line and other gear in the proper bins,” wildlife experts said.
Entanglements on marine mammals should only be removed by wildlife officials.

As a child, Wendy Schmidt didn’t think about how the ocean intersected with human life. It was a nice place to go swimming, but it was mostly a murky, unknowable realm that didn’t have much to do with her day-to-day life.
That outlook changed 15 years ago when she started sailing and learned to scuba dive. Now the health of the world’s oceans looms large in Schmidt’s thinking about the planet’s future and in her giving.
“People commonly encounter the ocean from the shore, the deck of a ferry boat, or from an airplane. It’s historically been a place of mythology, sea creatures, and scary stuff. In some ways, you could say it’s your worst nightmare, and yet, ironically, it’s also the source of all life. It’s 71% of the earth’s surface,” Schmidt says. “Suddenly you see that’s a different planet than you thought you lived in. It’s mostly ocean and the life in the ocean, and we’re just a small player here with a really outsized footprint.”
Schmidt leads a collection of philanthropies through which she and her husband, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, work to help protect the planet. They give to support clean energy, marine science and ocean conservation, and efforts to address climate change, plastic pollution, and food insecurity. The couple have also built programs that support and connect young leaders, scientists, and others working to solve an array of global problems.
The Schmidts have poured nearly $2.2 billion into their philanthropies since 2019 and during that time have pledged and given away more than $1.4 billion.
Since 2009, the couple have given more than $360 million to the Schmidt Ocean Institute, which operates a research ship that it makes available free to scientists worldwide. It also helped develop SuBastian, an underwater robotic vehicle scientists use to conduct deep-sea research experiments.
While they are not the largest contributors to ocean conservation and marine science, their insistence that the institute share its findings with scientists and the public is important, says Ashley Enrici, an assistant professor of philanthropic studies at Indiana University’s Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, who studies philanthropy’s role in marine conservation.
“That knowledge can be used for policy decisions by the government and to support public awareness and education campaigns,” Enrici says. “It has the potential to fill lots of different gaps.”
Another Schmidt effort, the 11th Hour Project, seeks to fight the further development of fossil fuels, create renewable energy, clean air and water systems, and expand sustainable food programs. The project grew out of Wendy Schmidt’s years-long support of efforts to oppose fossil-fuel extraction in California and New York.
Environmentalism and a global outlook weren’t a feature of Wendy Schmidt’s formative years. She grew up in a big Irish Catholic family in Short Hills, New Jersey, the second oldest of five children and the only girl. Curiosity and adventure were not encouraged, but she was endlessly inquisitive.
“I was the little one who was always annoying everybody by asking, ‘How come? How come?’ about everything,” Schmidt recalls.
After earning a dual degree in sociology and anthropology from Smith College in 1977, Schmidt attended the University of California at Berkeley, where she earned a master’s degree in journalism and met her future husband, who was working on a Ph.D. in computer science.
She says her worldview expanded at Berkeley, where she was exposed to people from other cultures, to new information, and even to new cuisines.
“Suddenly everything just opened up. Chinese food wasn’t Chun King from a can anymore,” she says. “It was real Chinese food.”
The couple married in 1980. After she graduated, she took a marketing job at Plexus Computers and was recruited by Sun Microsystems, a burgeoning Silicon Valley computer company, in 1982. (Eric joined Sun in 1983 and later became its chief technology officer.) She left Sun in 1985 when the company went public.
Wendy Schmidt’s focus on environmentalism took hold in the early 2000s. She started donating large sums when Google went public and the Schmidts’ fortune skyrocketed.
Schmidt soon learned that to solve global warming, you have to examine agricultural practices, land use, and human rights, so she focused on connecting nonprofit leaders working in those areas, especially those from overlooked backgrounds and Indigenous groups.
“I knew nothing at all about Indigenous communities in the United States,” Schmidt says. “I’m absolutely amazed that I could reach this stage in my life and not have realized all along that every inch of land that we occupy here in the United States was occupied by someone else who doesn’t have it now.”
A-dae Romero-Briones, director of programs in Native Agriculture and Food Systems at First Nations Development Institute, and a lawyer with expertise in food and agriculture law, first met Schmidt in January 2018 when she spoke at the Schmidt Family Foundation’s staff book club.
Romero-Briones says she was struck by Schmidt’s curiosity. Schmidt asked a lot of questions about Indigenous communities’ needs and she invited Romero-Briones to spend several days with 11th Hour Project staff so they could learn more. Romero-Briones, in turn, suggested that they visit tribal communities in central California so they could hear from Native American people directly.
“Wendy made no hesitation. Not about finances, not about logistics, not about time crunch,” Romero-Briones says. “That doesn’t happen in the philanthropic world. It was one of the funnest things I’ve ever done in my job is take all of these people to see all the people I wanted them to meet. It was very affirming.”
Schmidt and her husband see strong networks as the key to building a better world. They’re using their considerable wealth — which Forbes pegs at about $20 billion — to build connections between people and organizations that are working to solve pressing global problems.
“I really do believe in the power of the network,” she says. “It’s not about how big you are but how well connected you are.”
The couple started Schmidt Futures to back the development of new technologies and to support young leaders in science and public service through two programs that seek to connect tomorrow’s leaders: RISE and the Schmidt Science Fellows, both run jointly with the Rhodes Trust.
RISE connects 15- to 17-year-olds who want to dedicate their careers to public service and could do more to help others if they had access to networks of like-minded people.
Schmidt Science Fellows places Ph.D. science graduates in labs that are in a different scientific field than their core area of study for a year so they can work collaboratively across disciplines and build long-term connections with other scientists.
Schmidt says she and her husband do not spend a lot of time thinking about precise plans for their future philanthropy. The only definite plan, she says, is to spend down their giving vehicles during their lifetimes.
“I’m not a person who makes five- or 10-year plans,” she says. “I’m very much in the mind-set that I’m in when I’m sailing or diving. Your attention is on everything around you at that moment — where the wind is, the conditions of the water, adjusting the sails, how you’re making progress towards the goals.”

Computer chip and software maker Broadcom's $61 billion proposed purchase of cloud technology company VMware got the green light Wednesday from European Union regulators who were satisfied by concessions to ease competition concerns.
The European Commission, the EU's executive arm and top antitrust enforcer, said Broadcom made comprehensive commitments to provide access and system connections to its only existing rival, Marvell, as well as any other potential future competitors.
The commission said the concessions mean the deal “would no longer raise competition concerns.” The approval from the 27-nation bloc is conditional on Broadcom living up to its commitments for 10 years, with an independent trustee monitoring compliance.
The commission had opened an in-depth investigation last year over worries that the combination of Broadcom hardware and VMware software could lock out rival technology.
The deal still faces scrutiny elsewhere. Britain's competition regulator is carrying out an investigation with a deadline for a decision on Sept. 12.
Broadcom wants to establish a stronger foothold in the cloud computing market, and VMware’s technology allows large corporations to blend public cloud access with internal company networks. VMware has close relations with every major cloud company and provider, including Amazon, Google and Microsoft.
Also Wednesday, the EU fined U.S. biotech giant Illumina $475 million for buying cancer-screening company Grail without regulators' approval.

It took me a lot longer than I would have liked, especially since the Ticket-master drama, to listen to the new Taylor Swift album, “Midnights”.
I have always been a Swiftie, and can proudly say that we are one of the strongest stans of the often demonized Twitter stan culture. Feeling as though I’ve betrayed us Swifties by taking as much time as I did to listen to this incredible piece of artwork, it is unfortunate that I cannot come together with those that blessed their ears on Day One of release. | 2022-12-06T19:14:07+00:00 | yumasun.com | https://www.yumasun.com/opinion/first-take-betrayal-of-the-queen/article_32cbb15c-7503-11ed-896a-43326a6ca678.html |
MEMPHIS, Tenn., July 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- First Horizon has been awarded on the Forbes list of The Best Employers for Women 2023. This prestigious award is presented by Forbes and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The awards list was announced on July 25, 2023, and can currently be viewed on the Forbes website.
The Best Employers for Women have been identified in an independent survey from a vast sample of more than 60,000 U.S. employees working for companies employing at least 1,000 people within the United States. The sample included more than 40,000 women.
The evaluation was based on four different criteria:
- Direct recommendations – (General work topics): The employees were asked to give their opinion on a series of statements surrounding atmosphere & development, image, working conditions, salary & wage, workplace, and diversity regarding their employer.
- Direct recommendations – (Topics relevant to women): To focus on topics which are in general more relevant for women, women were asked to rate their employers regarding parental leave, family support, flexibility, discrimination, representation & career, and pay equity.
- Indirect recommendations: Participants were given the chance to evaluate other employers in their respective industries that stand out either positively or negatively concerning diversity. Only the recommendations of women were considered.
- Diversity among Top Executives / Board: Based on extensive research, an index was built based on the share of women in executive management or board positions. Statista researched this data for each company using publicly available company information.
"I am proud to work for a predominantly female organization that is consistently recognized for its commitment to gender diversity, equitable opportunities and an inclusive work environment," says Tanya Hart, executive vice president and chief human resources officer at First Horizon. "We continue to pay close attention to the changing dynamics of the workforce and evolve our practices to achieve performance goals while fostering work life balance."

BUFFALO, N.Y. — As we call to mind Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. this weekend, the City of Buffalo recognized six people and one organization who over the past year they believe exemplified Dr. King's commitment to service.
Whether those recognized made meals for families impacted by the tragic racist shooting on 5/14 or helped keep people warm during the Blizzard of 2022, they were all honored during a special ceremony Friday afternoon at Buffalo City Hall.
"We see you we appreciate you and our community has benefited from the work that you have done," Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said.
People like Pastor Tim Newkirk were recognized by the city he has served for countless years, working with families of missing kids and those affected by violence through his GYC Ministries.
Last month when a devastating blizzard wiped out power across the City of Buffalo, Newkirk and his recently created "Snow Patrol" helped shelter people out in the cold.
"I occupied several stores that were open and had power and I talked to the owners and asked them to stay open for the needs of the community because the whole area was without power," Newkirk said.
"I just was honored to do the work and to be of service to my community," he added.
Kelly Whitfield who founded the Healing Hub of New York, which helps coach and finds safe places for kids affected by trauma was honored with the Commitment to Service Award. She is also an advocate for Best Self's Project SAYVE.
World Central Kitchen which fed thousands of people in the aftermath of the Tops shooting on Jefferson Avenue in Buffalo received the Community Impact Award.
Marnetta Malcolm, the founder of Malcolm Media, was honored for her humanitarian work and support of events such as the Jefferson Avenue Block Party and the Buffalo Funk Fest, which she founded.
She currently serves as a board member of the recently founded Ralph C. Wilson Park Conservancy.
"I do what I do because I think there's a need I mean people need things and so if you're not doing what people need I mean what's the point," Malcolm said.
Leona Harper earned her own humanitarian award for leading the way with support for the Liggins family, who lost five kids in a terrible fire on Dartmouth Avenue.
As the Assistant Vice President of Business Banking at M&T her involvement in numerous community groups was also recognized.
Ruth Bryant was honored for her "Transformative Leadership."
She has played a role in Buffalo for countless years serving at the Community Foundation of Greater Buffalo and many other organizations. Bryant also shattered race and gender barriers in the University at Buffalo's architecture school.
And lastly, Carlanda Meadors, a member of M.V.P., Most Valuable Parents, said she works to inspire and mentor the next generation of leaders.
Meadors was honored with the racial relationship-building award and challenged others to get involved.
"You know today the question was posed, what is your why? The young people future generations is my why," Meadors said.
"Most Valuable Parents, we have Buffalo Peacemakers, you could get involved in your child's school system there are just so many things we can do in the community to help others," she added.
And to close out Friday's news conference, a simple question was posed to those in attendance and watching at home.
"What are you doing for others?" | 2023-01-14T00:38:05+00:00 | wgrz.com | https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/local/buffalo-neighbors-honored-service-mlk-jr-day/71-0ca7b1f1-0875-489a-b41a-5e1c86a7cd7c |
SAN ANTONIO, Texas (ValleyCentral) — A Texas man walked out to his front porch and was greeted with a rare sighting — a coati, also known as a coatimundi.
According to a post by the City of San Antonio Animal Care Services, the man walked out to his front porch and saw the coati clinging to a pillar looking back at him. He called animal care services, who determined it was likely a coati, which is a species that is non-native to San Antonio.
The animal is also prohibited to own in the city, San Antonio ACS said.
“Coatis are regularly found in Central and South America and are rare in South Texas,” the post stated.
San Antonio ACS said that coatis are diurnal creatures, like raccoons, and should not be kept as pits. The agency also said that these animals are often found in illegal exotic animal trade.
The animal retreated to the backyard when approached by officers, and after a “good work-out,” officers were able to capture the small animal.
Officers spoke with the owner of the coati, noting that could result in confiscation and up to a $2,000 fine to own one of these wild animals.
The female coati was transferred to the care of Wildlife rescue and Rehabiliation, Inc. the post stated. | 2023-01-09T18:02:12+00:00 | valleycentral.com | https://www.valleycentral.com/news/texan-finds-coatimundi-on-his-porch/ |
** Credit Union Encourages Los Angeles County Teachers to Apply for an Innovative Class Project Grant **
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- California Credit Union encourages Los Angeles County teachers who have an innovative class project idea to apply for a credit union grant through its biannual Teacher Grant program.
The California Credit Union grant program is available to full-time teachers in Los Angeles and Orange county, or credit union members teaching in California, looking to fund special learning opportunities for their students. The project should have clearly defined learning objectives tied to students' academic needs, display creativity, and benefit a significant number of students. Ten California Credit Union grants of $500 each will be awarded to area teachers in late October in the fall program.
"Over the last decade of providing teacher grants, we've seen some amazing programs come to life. We hope our local teachers will make their dream project a reality by applying for a fall grant," said California Credit Union President/CEO Steve O'Connell. "Our goal is to provide a little extra support for teachers, who work so hard to engage their students in innovative ways. We look forward to reviewing this fall's inspiring applications."
Interested teachers can find more information and apply online at ccu.com/teachergrant. The application deadline is September 30, 2022.
Since the creation of the program in 2012, California Credit Union has awarded $155,000 in teacher grants to benefit students across Southern California. The spring grant program funded a wide range of projects, including using geometry principles to design kites, hatching chicks, creating a mariachi music program, and building a genetics lab, among others.
California Credit Union is a federally insured, state chartered credit union founded in 1933 that serves public or private school employees, community members and businesses across California.

ATLANTA — Season 4 of Atlanta's Midnight Basketball program came to an end Wednesday evening with the big championship game. The program is for young men ages 18 to 25, and it's designed to keep them off the streets and out of trouble.
Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens said he believes Midnight Basketball is so much more than learning skills on the court. He thinks it's one of the best ways for young men to learn conflict resolution.
“This is a community outreach project where everybody is coming out from the players to the players’ parents to the players’ children are out here," Dickens said.
Dickens came up with the idea to give young adults a shot to keep their lives on the right path.
“When you see that car break-ins are down and homicides are down in these areas where we’re having midnight basketball, it tells me that we’re on the right path," Dickens said.
Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum agrees with the program helping to reduce crime.
“Last year, we actually saw reductions in crime," Schierbaum said. "I think 11Alive reported on the reductions we saw at every facility we held a midnight basketball, so this is crime fighting at its best.”
James Sanders was one of the young men perfecting his skills playing hoops as a participant in the program.
“It helped me save my life a lot because I could have been out there doing other things doing other things as well," Sanders said. "It’s so much drama, so much violence going on in the world, and this has been so peaceful. It helps people in the community come together for once and stop doing some of the things they usually do.”
Representatives from the Atlanta Hawks also took part in the championship game and hoped to make an impact.
“They’re addressing food insecurity. There’s a Goodr pop-up grocery store outside, career services training truck outside. The Hawks want to be being that. We want to support it," said Jon Babul, vice president of basketball development for the Atlanta Hawks.
Dickens said Midnight Basketball is just the beginning of keeping youth busy and safe this summer.
“Right now, you can go to Atlanta Year of the Youth, and you can sign up your young person, or they can sign themselves up to get a summer job," Dickens said. "We pay an average of $16.63 an hour last year.”
The next Midnight Basketball season will kick off in a few weeks. Young men will also get to go to a job fair and take part in workforce training. | 2023-06-15T03:56:09+00:00 | 11alive.com | https://www.11alive.com/article/news/community/atlanta-mayor-hopes-midnight-basketball-continues-keep-youth-out-trouble/85-2896a82a-d9f2-4ea4-89b2-5889993debb2 |

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The spread of a bird flu that is deadly to poultry raises the grisly question of how farms manage to quickly kill and dispose of millions of chickens and turkeys.
It’s a chore that farms across the country are increasingly facing as the number of poultry killed in the past two months has climbed to more than 24 million, with outbreaks reported nearly every day. Some farms have had to kill more than 5 million chickens at a single site with a goal of destroying the birds within 24 hours to limit the spread of the disease and prevent animals from suffering.
“The faster we can get on site and depopulate the birds that remain on site, the better,” Minnesota State Veterinarian Beth Thompson said.
The outbreak is the biggest since 2015, when producers had to kill more than 50 million birds. So far this year, there have been cases in 24 states, with Iowa the hardest hit with about 13 million chickens and turkeys killed. Other states with sizable outbreaks include Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota and Indiana.
Farms faced with the need to kill so many birds turn to recommendations by the American Veterinary Medical Association. Even as it has developed methods to kill the poultry quickly, the association acknowledges its techniques “may not guarantee that the deaths the animals face are painless and distress free.” Veterinarians and U.S. Department of Agriculture officials also typically oversee the process.
One of the preferred methods is to spray water-based firefighting foam over birds as they roam around the ground inside a barn. That foam kills the animals by cutting off their air supply.
When foam won’t work because birds are in cages above the ground or it’s too cold, the USDA recommends sealing up barns and piping carbon dioxide inside, first rendering the birds unconscious and ultimately killing them.
If one those methods won’t work because equipment or workers aren’t available, or when the size of a flock is too large, the association said a last resort is a technique called ventilation shutdown. In that scenario, farmers stop airflow into barns, which raises temperatures to levels at which the animals die. The USDA and the veterinary association recommend that farmers add additional heat or carbon dioxide to barns to speed up the process and limit suffering by the animals.
Mike Stepien, a spokesman for the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, said the techniques are the best options when it’s necessary to quickly kill so many birds.
“State animal health officials and producers carefully weigh the different options to determine the best option for humane depopulation and do not make such decisions lightly,” Stepien said.
Not everyone agrees.
Animal welfare groups argue that all these methods for quickly killing birds are inhumane, though they are particularly opposed to ventilation shutdown, which they note can take hours and is akin to leaving a dog in a hot car. Animal rights groups delivered a petition last year signed by 3,577 people involved in caring for animals, including nearly 1,600 veterinarians, that urged the veterinary association to stop recommending ventilation shutdown as an option.
“We have to do better. None of these are acceptable in any way,” said Sara Shields, director of farm animal welfare science at Humane Society International.
Opponents of the standard techniques said firefighting foam uses harmful chemicals and it essentially drowns birds, causing chickens and turkeys to suffer convulsions and cardiac arrest as they die. They say carbon dioxide is painful to inhale and detectible by the birds, prompting them to try to flee the gas.
Karen Davis, of the nonprofit group United Poultry Concerns, urged the veterinary association to stop recommending all of its three main options.
“They’re all ways that I would not choose to die, and I would not choose anybody else to die regardless of what species they belong to,” Davis said.
Shields said there are more humane alternatives, such as using nitrogen gas but those options tend to be more expensive and could have logistical challenges.
Sam Krouse, vice president of Indiana-based MPS Egg Farms, said farmers feel miserable about using any of the options.
“We pour our lives and livelihoods into taking care of those birds, and it’s just devastating when we lose any of those birds,” Krouse said. “Everything that we’re doing every day is focused on keeping the disease out and making sure that we’re keeping our hens as safe as possible.”
Officials emphasize that this virus that’s spread primarily through the droppings of infected wild birds doesn’t threaten food safety or represent a significant public health threat. Sick birds aren’t allowed into the food supply and properly cooking poultry and eggs kills any viruses that might be present. And health officials say no human cases of bird flu have been found in the United States during this current outbreak.
Once poultry are dead, farmers must quickly dispose of the birds. They usually don’t want to risk the chance of spreading the virus by transporting the carcasses to landfills, so crews typically pile the birds up into huge rows inside barns and combine them with other materials, such as ground up corn stalks and sawdust to create a compost pile.
After a couple weeks of decomposition, the carcasses are converted into a material that can be spread on cropland to help fertilize crops. In some cases, carcasses are buried in trenches on the farm or incinerated. | 2022-04-08T05:07:31+00:00 | kxnet.com | https://www.kxnet.com/news/national-news/bird-flus-grisly-question-how-to-kill-millions-of-poultry/ |

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A historical marker dedicated to a feminist and labor activist in New Hampshire who also led the Communist Party was removed Monday just two weeks after it was unveiled.
The green and white sign describing the life of Elizabeth Gurley Flynn was installed May 1 in Concord close to where she was born in 1890. But it quickly drew criticism from two Republican members of the Executive Council, the five-member body that approves state contracts, judicial nominees and other positions. They argued it was inappropriate given Flynn’s communist involvement. Republican Gov. Chris Sununu, meanwhile, called for a review of the historical marker process.
“All polices and guidelines were followed in removing this controversial marker,” said Sununu's spokesperson, Ben Vihstadt. He said Concord city officials weren't advocating to keep it, and once state officials realized it was on state property and not city land as previously believed, the state removed it.
But supporters of the sign accused the state of violating its own rules for the markers. They argued markers can only be “retired” if they contain errors of fact, are in a state of disrepair or require refurbishment.
“We still say that under the department’s own guidelines, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn’s birthplace in Concord is a fitting location for a historical marker,” said Mary Lee Sargent, a former U.S. history teacher and longtime labor and feminist activist.
Known as “The Rebel Girl” for her fiery speeches, Flynn was a founder of the American Civil Liberties Union who advocated for women’s voting rights and access to birth control. The marker also says she joined the Communist Party in 1936 and was sent to prison in 1951. She was one of many party members prosecuted “under the notorious Smith Act,” the marker says, which forbade any attempts to advocate, abet or teach the violent destruction of the U.S. government.
Flynn later chaired the Communist Party of the United States and she died in Moscow during a visit in 1964, at age 74. Her marker was one of 278 across the state that describe people and places — from Revolutionary War soldiers to contemporary sports figures.
Under the current process, any person, municipality or agency can suggest a marker as long as they get 20 signatures from New Hampshire residents. Supporters must draft the marker’s text and provide footnotes and copies of supporting documentation, according to the state Division of Historical Resources. The division and a historical resources advisory group evaluate the criteria. | 2023-05-15T22:46:03+00:00 | ourmidland.com | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/historical-marker-dedicated-to-feminist-18100954.php |
(NEXSTAR) — A drag show at a Dallas-area gay bar over the weekend is causing a stir and discussion over whether or not kids should be around drag events – it’s the latest in a storied battle.
Viral videos circulated on Monday appear to show a few children with adult guardians at a club while a drag queen danced to an Ariana Grande song. The event, held at the Mr. Misster club in Cedar Springs, Texas, was called “Drag Your Kids to Pride” and was advertised as a “family friendly” edition of its weekly drag queen brunch events, NBC News explains.
The event was met with protesters outside the venue and many took issue with a neon sign seen behind the dancers reading, “It’s Not Gonna Lick Itself.” Protesters held signs reading “Stop Grooming the Kids,” LGBTQ+ news outlet Them reports. Mr. Misster did not immediately respond for comment.
On Monday, Texas Rep. Bryan Slaton (R-Mineola) said he will introduce legislation that will ban minors from drag shows. In a letter, Slaton called parents who take their kids to events with drag queens “perverted adults” who are “obsessed with sexualizing young children.”
Several non-Texan Republican leaders spoke out about the event, including Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, the latter of whom urged taking children to church. Meanwhile, LGBTQ and equality advocates have condemned Slaton’s comments as targeted harassment.
In a statement to the Advocate, Equality Texas CEO Ricardo Martinez said in part: “In a state that has a history of being openly hostile to LGBTQ+ people, drag shows have been creating safe places for our community for nearly a century. As early as the 1930s there was a thriving drag scene in San Antonio.”
Many have taken issue with certain lawmakers’ seemingly prioritizing drag queen shows over gun legislation in the wake of the Robb Elementary School mass shooting in Uvalde just weeks ago. The shooting left 19 children and two teachers dead and reignited calls for lawmakers to do more about guns – particularly members of the Republican party, who have highlighted mental health and school security instead.
In a tweet on Monday, Texas Democrats tweeted: “Seems like there are a few more pressing things we should be doing to actually look out for the well-being of Texas children.”
Transgender activist and writer Charlotte Clymer, in a satiric tweet, wrote: “My kid is never going to a drag show. It’s inappropriate for fully-clothed drag artists to dance in front of kids. Instead, I’m taking him to an NFL game where he can sit beside me as I drink and watch a cheerleader twerk in her cowgirl boots at midfield.”
The intersection of drag queens and children has been a hot topic nationwide for years, in particular, “Drag Queen Story Hour,” which are typically library-set reading times hosted by a drag queen. As recently as Monday, the mayor of Apex, North Carolina, ordered the cancelation of one such event at the city’s Pride Festival after alleged complaints.
Drag Queen Story Hour is a chapter-led organization that says it aims to “capture the imagination and play of gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive and unabashedly queer role models.”
Questions about drag have arisen in conversations around transgender identities, as the two are often conflated, despite having two different meanings. In its most basic sense, “drag” typically refers to an art form of men (either heterosexual or queer) dressing as women for theater – a tradition that dates back to Shakespearean days, BBC reports.
Trans people have been integral to the development of drag, particularly American performers like activist and Gay Liberation Front co-founder Marsha P. Johnson, who were at the forefront of LGBTQ+ civil rights in 1970s New York City
Often, drag queens use their drag for more serious activism and even light-hearted comedy. It’s important to note that the art form of drag is not inherently sexual or tied to any one sexual orientation or identity.
As Metro reports, “transvestic fetishism” is the practice of a person dressing as the opposite sex for arousal. The sexualities and gender identities of people who participate in the activity are wide and not generally tied to drag. In the mainstream, TV shows like “RuPaul’s Drag Race” have helped dispel previous notions of drag queens to wide audiences.
Many of these different terms and concepts have been used interchangeably amid recent legislation across the U.S.
In March, Florida passed its House Bill 1557, referred to as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which not only prevents teachers from discussing LGBTQ+ issues in classrooms, but allows parents/guardians to sue teachers and/or schools who discuss these topics. In Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott previously directed the state’s Department of Family and Protect Services to investigate parents who help their kids get gender-affirming care.
Meanwhile, Louisiana’s Fairness in Women’s Sports Act became law, despite opposition and lack of signature by Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards. The act requires K-12 schools to assign sports teams based on biological sex assigned at birth. | 2022-06-07T21:46:29+00:00 | wearegreenbay.com | https://www.wearegreenbay.com/news/national/dallas-drag-queen-event-for-kids-sparks-outrage-defense/ |
Prince William and Kate Middleton had a special guest with them during day 14 of Wimbledon! On Sunday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were joined by their oldest son, Prince George, who made a surprise appearance in the royal box during the men’s finals.
George, 8, was dressed in a smart blue suit as he sat in the royal box next to his parents and watched the defending champion Novak Djokovic, take on Nick Kyrgios. Kate’s outfit was the perfect complement to her son’s look. The duchess, who has been showing off her chic style during the annual sporting event, wore a black and white polka dot dress, which she paired with chic sunglasses. The duke wore a light brown jacket and blue pants.
George, who is an avid sports fan, was full of expressions as he took on the intense match. At times, the young royal was seen talking to his mother and father, as he asked them questions about the match.
In one of the sweet moments, Kate, who is the patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, motioned for her husband and son to wave to her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, who were seated a few rows away.
The royal family was seated in front of tennis legend, Stan Smith, who at one point presented the Duchess a baby version of his signature shoe, signed by him. The tennis great was also spotted chatting with George.
Ahead of their arrival inside of the stadium, Kate, 40, and George, made their way around the venue. When the mother-son duo got out of the car, the duchess introduced her son to the working staff inside of the building. The pair eventually met up with William, who greeted them with a kiss, before they all took their seats inside of the royal box.
George’s appearance at Wimbledon reminds royal watchers of when his father, William, made his debut in 1991, alongside his mother, Princess Diana, during the Women’s Finals.
Ahead of the trio’s appearance, Kate attended the Women’s Final. On Saturday, the Duchess wore a chic yellow dress as she took in the match.
Prince George’s latest outing comes after he and his siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, stole some hilarious moments during the Queen’s platinum jubilee celebrations in June.

AWESOME: Baby sea turtles redirected to ocean in Florida after losing their way
BRADENTON, Fla. (Gray News) – Baby sea turtles in Florida were redirected to the ocean after they lost their way and ended up in a parking lot this weekend.
The Manatee County Sheriff’s Office said a sergeant teamed up with the Bradenton Beach Police Department and the Anna Maria Island Turtle Watch & Shorebird Monitoring team to help the baby turtles.
The sheriff’s office said an area resident discovered the baby sea turtles roaming in her apartment complex’s parking lot. It appeared the turtles hatched on the beach but then traveled in the wrong direction, away from the ocean.
Officials said the turtles made it across the street and into the apartment complex’s parking lot.
Law enforcement and turtle rescue teams searched the area, collected all the turtles in a bucket, and then released them on the beach. The turtles were watched over until they all safely made it into the ocean.
The sheriff’s office posted video of the babies making their way into the water and starting their new lives.

Earlier this past week, Mariners’ manager Scott Servais was simultaneously marveling at his club’s sustained run of outstanding starting pitching and fretting about the potential of squandering it.
“I’d hate to waste, or not take advantage, of the starting pitching we’ve had,’’ he said. “I don’t want to look up at the end of the year and say: ‘Man, we let this one get away. We didn’t take advantage of a group of five starters and a bullpen that really came together.’’’
Anyone who has followed the Mariners this season knows where the fear is based. You can point to any number of frustrating losses in which the Mariners had a brilliant outing by a member of their rotation, only to have it go for naught. Maybe it was one of those games where Seattle’s bats were asleep all day or night. Or maybe it was one of those equally frustrating games where the Mariners had constant traffic on the basepaths but were unable to bring the runs home. Their kingdom for a clutch hit (or a well-timed sac fly).
Fast-forward to Saturday, when the M’s were in the process of producing another such maddening effort. Having lost Friday to the woeful A’s, possessors of MLB’s worst record, they could ill-afford another loss to Oakland as they try to claw their way back into the wild-card race. Especially when rookie George Kirby bounced back from his worst effort as a major-leaguer with a superior seven-inning start — just three hits and one run allowed, with a career-high-matching nine strikeouts.
Yet the Mariners trailed 1-0 after seven innings, having found new and diabolical ways to squander certain scoring chances. But when Adam Frazier’s line drive was speared by A’s first baseman Seth Brown and turned into an inning-ending double play with runners on the corners in the seventh, Servais saw it as a perversely positive sign.
“There’s times you think, ‘OK, it’s not our day,’’’ he said. “After that happened, I said, ‘We’re winning this game.’ It can only go so bad for so long. It’s got to flip. And it did.”
The Mariners pulled it out, 2-1, on a Justin Upton pinch-hit homer in the eighth, and a walk-off single by Abraham Toro in the ninth. It’s the kind of game the Mariners have to win to have any hope of a relevant second half. Especially while so many key hitters are either injured, suspended or struggling.
Their salvation — if a team that’s still four games under .500 in July can use that term — has been a rotation that has yet to miss any starts due to injuries, one of just two teams with that distinction. They are also the only team in the majors with five different pitchers recording at least five quality starts (led by Marco Gonzales with 10). Their 2.97 ERA by starters since May 27 is second only to the mighty Yankees.
But that has been matched by an inconsistent offense missing Mitch Haniger, Kyle Lewis and Tom Murphy for most of the season. Now Ty France and Luis Torrens are on the disabled list. JP Crawford is serving out his suspension while Jesse Winker and possibly Julio Rodriguez (pending his appeal) are waiting their turns. Adam Frazier has struggled much of the season, and Winker is only recently coming out of his slump.
The Seattle starters (and more recently, a resurgent bullpen) have saved the day. Until Kirby’s clunker in his previous start (seven runs allowed in four innings), their starters had gone a club-record 24 consecutive games allowing three or fewer earned runs. Yet the Mariners’ record in those games was just 13-11. Their final game of that streak was typical: Gonzales went six strong innings in Anaheim only to lose 2-1 on the night Seattle’s lineup was decimated by ejections related to the second-inning brawl.
Of the 37 quality starts (defined as at least six inning pitched, three or fewer earned runs allowed) churned out by the Mariners rotation of Gonzales, Kirby, Logan Gilbert, Robbie Ray and Chris Flexen (plus Matt Brash briefly), they’ve lost 15 of them. They’re scored two or fewer runs in 14 of those games. The Mariners are 6-32 when they score less than four runs, 32-12 when they score four or more.
Four runs is seemingly not a high bar to achieve, yet it has proved to be elusive. Servais can see a road map to a brighter future once re-enforcements to the lineup arrive — provided the pitching doesn’t have a regression. The Mariners have won nine of 12 games since the end of their disastrous recent homestand that threatened to bury them.
“Yeah, I mean, there’s not a team in the league that’s going to get very far or into the postseason without consistent starting pitching,’’ he said. “You need to ride it, and we are riding it right now. We will get healthier, we will get guys off of suspensions, we will get to the point where we’re looking up and down our lineup and it’s going to be very deep. And everyone’s going to say, ‘What was the issue all year long?’ Well, we didn’t have that lineup.
“So in the meantime, that’s what teams do. They pull together. The strength of our club right now has been our starting pitching and our bullpen. Those guys have been awesome down there, too. We need to ride them. Right now, we’ve got to figure out a way to win these games 3 to 2, 2 to 1. They’re hard. They’re very hard. That’s just where we’re at, at this point in the season. It’ll turn. We’ll get healthier. And we’ll get some guys with some more experience in that lineup to make it a little bit deeper. But that’s where we’re at right now. And those guys are stepping up. It’s a credit to them.”
In the Mariners’ current predicament, every loss is painful — even more so when it squanders an elite pitching performance. They avoided such a fate Saturday — and need to continue to do so. | 2022-07-03T02:28:44+00:00 | seattletimes.com | https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/mariners/ms-starting-pitchers-proving-to-be-base-to-build-from/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all |
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — A U.S. Supreme Court ruling expanding state authority to prosecute some crimes on Native American land is fracturing decades of law built around the hard-fought principle that tribes have the right to govern themselves on their own territory, legal experts say.
The Wednesday ruling is a marked departure from federal Indian law and veers from the push to increase tribes’ ability to prosecute all crimes on reservations — regardless of who is involved. It also cast tribes as part of states, rather than the sovereign nations they are, infuriating many across Indian Country.
“The majority (opinion) is not firmly rooted in the law that I have dedicated my life to studying and the history as I know it to be true,” said Elizabeth Hidalgo Reese, an assistant law professor at Stanford University who is enrolled at Nambé Pueblo in New Mexico. ”And that’s just really concerning,”
Federal authorities largely maintained exclusive jurisdiction to investigate serious, violent crime on reservations across much of the U.S. when the suspect or victim is Native American. The 5-4 decision from the high court in a case out of Oklahoma means states will share in that authority when the suspect is not Native American and the victim is.
Criminal justice on tribal lands can be a tangled web already, and the ruling will likely present new thorny questions about jurisdiction, possible triple jeopardy and how to tackle complicated crimes in remote areas where resources are stretched thin. States had power to prosecute crimes involving only non-Natives on reservations even before this week’s Supreme Court ruling.
“It will have an impact in Indian Country, so only the future will tell us if it’s good or not,” said Robert Miller, a law professor at Arizona State University and citizen of the Eastern Shawnee Tribe. “Is it better to have more criminal prosecutions, more governments enforcing crimes or less?”
Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote a scathing dissent joined by the court’s three liberal members, saying “one can only hope the political branches and future courts will do their duty to honor this Nation’s promises even as we have failed today to do on our own.”
Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. of the Cherokee Nation said the court “failed in its duty to honor this nation’s promises, defied Congress’s statutes and accepted the ‘lawless disregard of the Cherokee’s sovereignty.’”
It’s unclear how the decision ultimately will play out for tribes, but there is precedent. Congress established a law in 1953 that’s known as PL-280, partly to relieve the federal government of funding public safety on some reservations. The law resulted in state authority over crime in several states, including Alaska and California where about three-fifths of the 574 federally recognized tribes are based.
As in the decision in Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta, tribes did not consent. Neither Congress then nor the Supreme Court now funded the expansion of state authority on tribal land.
“That’s far from the first time,” said Lauren van Schilfgaarde, a member of Cochiti Pueblo in New Mexico who directs the Tribal Legal Development Clinic at the UCLA. “Federal Indian law is just littered with cases in which tribes were denied the opportunity to speak on their own behalf.”
Federal authorities have long been criticized for declining to prosecute cases in Indian Country — roughly a third, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Authorities in PL-280 states also have been criticized for a lack of response to crime in Indian Country, where law enforcement officers often must travel long distances to investigate reported crimes.
Tribes asserted in court filings and elsewhere that the federal government — which has a political relationship with tribes through treaties and acts of Congress — is the appropriate sovereign entity to handle criminal matters. Congress maintains control over Native American and Alaska Native affairs, which are overseen by the Department of Interior.
States have no such obligation to tribes.
“One of the interesting things for me is how the priority question shakes out,” said Kevin Washburn, who is Chickasaw and dean of the University of Iowa’s law school. “That is, will feds take primacy or will state prosecutors take primacy in cases? And how do they decide who will be first or who will move at all?” asked Washburn, a former assistant Interior secretary for Indian Affairs.
While the Supreme Court ruling is an expansion of power for states, it doesn’t come with a similar increase for tribes. A 1978 high court ruling stripped tribes of any criminal jurisdiction over non-Natives on their reservations. The reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act in 2013 restored some of that authority in limited domestic violence cases and further expanded it earlier this year.
Less than 1% of federally recognized tribes in the U.S. have implemented that authority, with one of the most recent being the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community outside Phoenix. It raises the possibility of tribes, the state and the feds prosecuting a suspect for the same offense. Another U.S. Supreme Court ruling issued last month said tribal members prosecuted in certain tribal courts also can be prosecuted based on the same incident in federal court.
Most tribes can sentence convicted offenders to only a year in jail, regardless of the crime. A 2010 federal law increased tribes’ sentencing authority to three years for a single crime, but few tribes have met the federal requirements to use that authority. That includes having public defenders, establishing or updating criminal codes, and having law-trained judges.
Oklahoma has its own unique history on tribal affairs, including a 2020 U.S. Supreme Court decision known as McGirt v. Oklahoma that said a large chunk of the eastern part of the state remains a Native American reservation. That ruling, written by Gorsuch, left the state unable to prosecute Native Americans accused of crimes on tribal lands that include most of Tulsa, the state’s second-largest city with a population of about 413,000.
The Supreme Court refused to reconsider McGirt. Oklahoma filed a flurry of petitions related to the case, leading to the most recent decision on state power over crime on reservations that extends broadly across the U.S. Justice Brett Kavanaugh, writing for the majority, said the state’s interest lies in protecting all victims of crime.
Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum, a Republican, applauded the ruling and pledged to work with the state and the tribal nations “who are our partners in building a safe city.”

High school football players work hard every day during practice to build their physical strength and learn the value of teamwork. Sometimes, life presents an opportunity to demonstrate those skills off the playing field. Recently, six members of a Georgia high school football team received just such an opportunity when they saw a woman in danger after a car accident — and they jumped into action.
Luis Goya, a teacher at Rome High School in Rome, Georgia, stood outside the school during his ordinary morning duty when he heard a loud noise at the nearby intersection. On Facebook, Goya shared the amazing event that soon unfolded, along with photos from the scene.
“There was a 50-year-old lady trapped in her car and couldn’t get out,” Goya wrote in his Facebook post. “Smoke started to come out of the car, and fluid started to spill everywhere in the intersection. The door was jammed and in terrible shape.”
As Goya talked with 911 dispatchers, requesting help to the scene, he saw a group of students run toward the damaged car and work frantically to get the woman out.
“They literally started using their strength to pry the door open, so the lady could be released,” Goya continued in his post. “After a few seconds of pulling and pushing the door, the boys ended up opening it and helped her get out of the car.”
Not only did the students help extricate the woman from the damaged car, they also stayed with her until help arrived.
Later that day, officials from Rome High School issued a press release in which they identified the six students who helped the woman and shared a photo of the young men.
“Thank you, young men, for being examples our community can be proud of! Lead #likeawolf,” the press release praised the team members.
Shown in the photo (from left to right) are Cesar Parker, Treyvon Adams, Antwiion Carey, Messiah Daniels, Tyson Brown and Alto Moore.
News of the rescue spread and the students have been featured on many news outlets, including “Good Morning America,” where the TV hosts shared video surveillance of the six young men at the scene of the accident.
Despite all the accolades, the players say they simply did what had to be done.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Steve Bannon, a former White House strategist and ally of Donald Trump who faces criminal charges after months of defying a congressional subpoena over the Capitol riot, has told the House committee investigating the attack that he is now willing to testify.
Bannon’s turnabout was conveyed in a letter late Saturday from his attorney, lawmakers said, as the committee prepares to air some of its most striking revelations yet this week against Trump in what may be its final set of hearings.
“I expect that we will be hearing from him and there are many questions that we have for him,” said Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif. She and other committee members said in television interviews Sunday they intend to have Bannon sit for a private interview, which they typically conduct in a deposition with sworn testimony.
Bannon had been one of the highest-profile Trump-allied holdouts in refusing to testify before the committee, leading to two criminal counts of contempt of Congress last year for resisting the committee’s subpoena. He has argued that his testimony is protected by Trump’s claim of executive privilege. The committee contends such a claim is dubious because Trump had fired Bannon from the White House in 2017 and Bannon was thus a private citizen when he was consulting with the then-president in the run-up to the riot on Jan. 6, 2021.
Still, in recent days, as the former president grew frustrated with what he decried as a one-sided presentation by the committee of seven Democrats and two Republicans, Trump said he would waive that privilege claim, according to a letter Saturday to Bannon’s lawyer.
“If you reach an agreement on a time and place for your testimony, I will waive executive privilege for you, which allows for you to go in and testify truthfully and fairly, as per the request of the unselect committee of political thugs and hacks,” Trump wrote.
The committee’s Thursday evening hearing will examine the three-hour plus stretch when Trump failed to act as a mob of supporters stormed the Capitol. It will be the first hearing in prime time since the June 9 debut that was viewed by 20 million people.
A hearing Tuesday will focus on the plotting and planning of the insurrection by white nationalist groups such as the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers and the Three Percenters, and will also highlight testimony taken Friday from former White House counsel Pat Cipollone.
It comes after surprise testimony last month from former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson provided the most compelling evidence yet that Trump could be linked to a federal crime. Since then, the committee has seen an influx of new information and confidential tips.
Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., suggested that Bannon “had a change of heart, and after watching, presumably, all of these people come forward, including Cassidy Hutchinson, he’s decided that he wants to come in, and if he wants to come in, I’m certain that the committee would be very interested in hearing from him.”
Bannon’s trial on the two criminal counts is July 18. A hearing in his case was scheduled for Monday in federal court in Washington. Bannon has been seeking a delay in his trial to at least fall.
It’s unclear how much Bannon intends to cooperate. He has expressed a preference to appear before the committee in a public hearing. The committee is making clear he must first sit for a private interview, typically in a sworn deposition. It’s also possible he may opt to appear and then refuse to answer questions, citing his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
“The way that we have treated every single witness is the same, that they come in, they talk to the committee there,” Raskin said. “If they’re going to take a deposition, they’re sworn under oath. It’s videotaped. It’s recorded, and then we take it from there.”
The committee says it wants to hear from Bannon because he “had specific knowledge about the events planned for Jan. 6 before they occurred.” It cited as an example comments that he made on his podcast the day before the riot.
“It’s not going to happen like you think it’s going to happen. OK, it’s going to be quite extraordinarily different. All I can say is strap in,” Bannon said in that podcast. “All hell is going to break loose tomorrow. … So many people said, ‘Man, if I was in a revolution, I would be in Washington.’ Well, this is your time in history.”
House investigators have been digging deeper into the evidence collected so far about the role extremist groups played in the deadly insurrection and what Trump was doing as the violence ensued down the street from the White House.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., who will lead Thursday’s hearing with Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Va., described the upcoming testimony as key to providing an extensive timeline of what Trump did and did not do in those critical hours on the afternoon of Jan. 6, 2021. That includes Trump’s tweet criticizing Vice President Mike Pence for lacking “courage” as angry protesters outside the Capitol were heard chanting “Hang Mike Pence” for not challenging Democrat Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory.
“We want to show the American people what was the president doing during that time,” Kinzinger said Sunday. “The rest of the country knew that there was an insurrection. The president obviously had to have known there was an insurrection. So where was he? What was he doing? It’s a very important hearing. Pay attention. Because I think it goes to the heart of what is the oath of a leader.”
Tuesday’s hearing will explore efforts to assemble the mob on the National Mall and then organize the march down Pennsylvania Avenue, where some rioters — armed with pipes, bats and bear spray — charged into the Capitol, quickly overrunning the overwhelmed police force. More than 100 police officers were injured, many beaten, bloodied and bruised, that day.
It will also highlight a meeting on Dec. 18, 2020 at the White House in which former Trump lawyers Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani, onetime Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn and others floated the idea of seizing voting machines and invoking national security emergency powers, to the heated objection from several White House lawyers who argued that Trump needed to accept his defeat, according to Raskin, who will lead Tuesday’s hearing.
“We’re gonna get to use a lot of Mr. Cipollone’s testimony,” he said. “He was aware of every major move, I think, that Donald Trump was making to try to overthrow the 2020 election and essentially seize the presidency.”
Kinzinger spoke on ABC’s “This Week, Lofgren was on CNN’s “State of the Union” and Raskin appeared on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Trevor Bauer became a free agent Friday when he went unclaimed on waivers, leaving the Los Angeles Dodgers responsible for about $22.5 million owed to the former Cy Young Award winner whose unprecedented 324-game suspension over sexual misconduct allegations was reduced by an arbitrator.
Los Angeles designated Bauer for assignment on Jan. 6, the last day to restore him to the roster, after arbitrator Martin Scheinman cut the suspension imposed by MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred from 324 to 194 games. The Dodgers placed the pitcher on waivers Thursday.
Any team could sign the 2020 NL Cy Young Award winner for the major league minimum of $720,000. That would be offset against the $22,537,635 owed to Bauer by the Dodgers.
Manfred suspended Bauer in April for violating the league’s domestic violence and sexual assault policy after a San Diego woman said he beat and sexually abused her in 2021. Bauer has maintained he did nothing wrong, saying that everything that happened was consensual.
Bauer was never charged with a crime. The suspension cost him $37,594,233.
The players’ association filed a grievance on Bauer’s behalf, and a three-man panel headed by Scheinman concluded Bauer violated MLB’s policy and docked his pay for the first 50 games of 2023, covering part of the period the pitcher was on paid leave in 2021 and 2022.
Bauer joined his hometown Dodgers before the 2021 season and was 8-5 with a 2.59 ERA in 17 starts before being placed on leave.
In February 2022, Los Angeles prosecutors decided not to charge Bauer because they said they were unable to prove the San Diego woman's accusations beyond a reasonable doubt. The woman, who was 27 at the time, said Bauer choked her unconscious, punched her repeatedly and sexually assaulted her during two sexual encounters.
The Associated Press does not typically identify people who say they have been victims of sexual assault.
Bauer said in a video posted on YouTube after the prosecutor’s decision that he and the woman engaged in rough sex at her suggestion and followed guidelines they agreed to in advance. Each encounter ended with her spending the night at his Pasadena home, he said.
“The disturbing acts and conduct that she described simply did not occur,” he said at the time.
The woman had sought a restraining order, but a judge denied it. The judge found that Bauer honored the woman’s boundaries when the woman set them, and could not have known about those he violated because she didn’t express them clearly.

CAIRO (AP) — Some 10 child Leukemia patients in Yemen have died, and dozens more left seriously ill, after being administered expired doses of a cancer treatment in the rebel-held capital.
Yemen’s ruinous conflict, now entering its eighth year, has caused one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises and killed in excess of 150,000 people.
The children were aged between three and 15 and died at Sanaa’s Kuwait Hospital after being injected with old doses of smuggled medicine at a number of private clinics, the rebel-run Health Ministry said in a statement Thursday. The officials did not says when the 10 deaths occurred.
According to a half dozen health officials and workers who spoke to The Associated Press, some 50 children received a smuggled chemotherapy treatment known as Methotrexate that was originally manufactured in India. They said a total of 19 children had died from the expired treatment. The officials and workers spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not briefed to speak with the media.
Amid Yemen's war, the lack of access to basic resources, including food and medicine, has created large smuggling networks across both rebel-held Houthi and Saudi coalition-run areas.
Several doctors in Sanaa said that Houthi officials secretly work in partnership with medicine smugglers who sell often expired treatment to private clinics from storage houses across the country. In doing so, they said the Houthis were limiting the availability of safe treatments.
The Houthis have in the past tried to cover up causes of death. During the height of the coronavirus pandemic, doctors accused the Houthi government of coercing medical workers to falsify death certificates.
The Houthi health ministry said they have opened an investigation into the incident. In their statement, they blamed the deaths on the Saudi coalition forces for causing a lack of available medicine in Houthi-controlled areas.
The family of one of the deceased children said that their son felt pains and cramps after receiving the expired chemotherapy treatment then died five days later. “The worst thing was that the hospital administration tried to hide the truth from us,” said the boy’s father, who asked not to be named for his and his family's safety.
The failure to extend the nationwide truce in early October has threatened to reignite bloodshed after a six-month lull in fighting. The Houthis blamed the dead-ended negotiations on the U.N., which has facilitated the cease-fire talks, while the U.S. envoy to Yemen accused the rebel group of hijacking the peace talks through last-minute demands.
Iranian-backed Houthi forces seized swathes of northern Yemen and Sanaa in 2014, pushing the government into exile. A Saudi Arabia-led coalition — which included the United Arab Emirates — intervened the following year to try to restore the internationally recognized government to power. | 2022-10-14T14:52:37+00:00 | sfgate.com | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Expired-drug-kills-10-child-Leukemia-patients-in-17508977.php |

No matter how this season turns out, the one thing folks won’t be able to say is that Howie Roseman and the Philadelphia Eagles didn’t make some pretty, darned interesting moves.
From scooping Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round of April’s draft, to the D’Andre Swift trade and even some of the undrafted rookie free agent signings, Roseman and crew seem to have made one high-upside move after another.
The continued Tuesday as the team reportedly brought former Clemson receiver and USFL title game MVP Deon Cain back into the fold. The 6-foot-2, 202-pound pass catcher spent time on Philly’s practice squad last season, and has also spent time with the Ravens, Colts and Steelers.

DETROIT (AP) — The U.S. government is turning up the pressure on ARC Automotive to recall 67 million potentially dangerous air bag inflators by ordering the company to answer questions under oath and threatening fines if it doesn’t respond.
NHTSA argues that the recall is justified because two people have been killed in the United States and Canada and at least seven others injured by ARC inflators, which can explode with too much force and expel shapnel. The explosions, which first occurred in 2009, have continued as recently as this year.
The special order from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration asks multiple questions about whether ARC expects any of its inflators to blow apart in the future, and whether it has notified customers about the risk.
The agency wants ARC Automotive Inc., based in Knoxville, Tennessee, to recall the inflators, which can blow apart a metal canister. But ARC is refusing, setting up a possible court fight.
ARC maintains that no safety defect exists, that NHTSA’s demand is based on a hypothesis rather than technical conclusions and that the agency has no authority to order a parts manufacturer to carry out recalls.
NHTSA has tentatively concluded that the inflators are defective. The next steps are a final conclusion, public hearing and potential lawsuit asking a judge to order a recall.
Since ARC inflators can be in both driver and passenger front air bags, people who travel in at least 33 million U.S. vehicles could be at risk.
In the order, NHTSA asks ARC to explain if it expects inflators to rupture due to something more than “random ‘one-off’” manufacturing problems. More than 1 million ARC inflators have been recalled already due to what the company describes as isolated trouble with manufacturing.
The order also instructs the company to estimate how many inflators will rupture while in use in the U.S. in the future, and it asks ARC why it changed its inflator manufacturing process in 2018 to install a scope that detects whether welding debris can block inflator vents.
NHTSA contends that byproducts from welding during manufacturing can clog a vent inside the inflator canister that’s designed to let gas escape to fill air bags quickly in a crash. Pressure can build to the point where the canister is blown apart.
Messages were left Thursday seeking comment from ARC. The company has to respond by June 14 or face a maximum fine of $131.6 million and potential criminal penalties.
Michael Brooks, executive director of the Center for Auto Safety, a nonprofit advocacy group, said NHTSA is going back and connecting dots to counter what ARC asserted in its response to the recall request.
The agency, he said, seems to be trying to get ARC to say that it’s possible other inflators can rupture in the future. “They are simply looking for an admission from ARC that this can happen again,” Brooks said.
The company, he said, would have a hard time arguing that no more problems will occur. “I don’t know that this is something that they can legitimately assert, that there’s never going to be another inflator rupture,” Brooks said. “There’s a high likelihood of another rupture of this type. There may not be a lot of them.”
NHTSA also wants to know why ARC added the scope to its manufacturing process in 2018, and it’s demanding to know which ARC employee approved the decision. “I think they’re trying to get at what was ARC basing that decision on and does it suggest that there’s a defect in the population of inflators that were produced before that date,” Brooks said.
The agency said in its recall request letter sent to ARC in April that it’s not aware of any inflators rupturing that were manufactured after the scope was installed.
Owners of vehicles made by at least a dozen automakers — Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, Ford, Toyota, Stellantis, Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Porsche, Hyundai and Kia — are left to wonder anxiously whether their vehicles contain driver or front passenger inflators made by ARC.
Because ARC supplies inflators that are included in other manufacturers’ airbags, there’s no easy way for vehicle owners to determine whether their inflators are made by ARC. Neither NHTSA nor ARC nor the automakers have released a full list of affected models.
One of the people who died after an inflator explosion was Marlene Beaudoin, a 40-year-old mother of 10 from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula who was struck by metal fragments when her 2015 Chevrolet Traverse SUV was involved in a minor crash in 2021. She and four of her sons had been on their way to get ice cream. The sons were not hurt.
In a response letter to NHTSA earlier this month, ARC said no automaker has found a defect common to all 67 million inflators, and no root cause has been identified in the inflator ruptures.
The standoff with ARC has sent automakers struggling to find out just how many of their vehicles contain the inflators. Many say they’re still gathering information from later model years to determine which vehicles contain the affected inflators.
From 2017 to 2022, the ARC problems triggered seven small recalls from automakers. Earlier this month, General Motors announced the recall of nearly 1 million more. | 2023-06-01T21:56:38+00:00 | kfor.com | https://kfor.com/business/ap-business/us-turns-up-pressure-on-air-bag-inflator-company-that-refuses-a-recall-despite-deaths-injuries/ |
(NewsNation) — More than six years after Donald Trump’s lawyer paid an adult actress to allegedly keep quiet about an affair she said she had with Trump, New York prosecutors are considering whether the former president should face charges in the case.
Earlier this week, Trump was invited to testify before a Manhattan grand jury in connection with the hush money investigation, according to his lawyer. On Monday, the former president’s longtime fixer and former attorney, Michael Cohen, who ultimately made the payments in question, testified before the grand jury.
Both actions suggest an indictment may be coming. If that happens, Trump would become the first former president ever to face criminal charges.
What is the case about?
In the runup to the 2016 election, Trump’s longtime attorney Cohen paid porn actress Stormy Daniels $130,000, allegedly to keep her quiet about an affair she claimed to have had with the former president.
Trump has acknowledged that he paid Cohen a “monthly retainer” as part of an agreement to “stop the extortionist accusations made by Daniels,” and denied having an affair with her. The former president said the contract had nothing to do with campaign funds, and his company logged the reimbursements as a legal expense.
Earlier in 2016, Cohen had also arranged a $150,000 payment via the publisher of the National Enquirer to former Playboy model Karen McDougal in order to quash a story about a separate alleged affair with Trump. The former president has also denied that allegation.
Cohen pleaded guilty to violating federal campaign finance law in connection with the payments, but Trump has never faced charges. Federal prosecutors said the payments amounted to illegal, unreported assistance to Trump’s campaign. They also accused Trump’s company of inflating Cohen’s reimbursement for tax purposes.
What charges could Trump face?
Manhattan prosecutors may be considering at least two different options — both of which could be difficult to prove.
If Trump’s company had a phony retainer agreement with Cohen that Trump knew about, then prosecutors could make the case that the former president falsified business records. That crime is only a misdemeanor under New York law unless prosecutors can prove he falsified the records to conceal another crime.
That separate crime, prosecutors may argue, was a violation of state election law. Authorities could make the case that Trump paid off Daniels to benefit his campaign.
But legal experts say that could be hard to prove.
“The felony charge would be a novel one, and they’d have to show specifically that the payoff was to influence the campaign,” NewsNation’s Dan Abrams said Wednesday.
Trump’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, maintains that no crime has been committed, and said the payment was not related to Trump’s campaign.
“(Trump) would have done this if he were the TV star that he was before politics ever entered his world,” Tacopina told Abrams.
The legal case against the former president is further complicated by the fact that the prosecution’s key witness, Cohen, has previously lied to Congress.
On Friday, Cohen told “Good Morning America” that he was “absolutely” prepared for cross-examination in a potential trial against his former boss.
How likely is an indictment?
Trump was invited to testify before a New York grand jury that has been investigating the hush money payments, according to one of his attorneys. The invitation could signal that a decision on the indictment is coming.
“(An indictment) is becoming more probable, I think now,” Tacopina told Abrams.
Tacopina has said the former president has no plans to participate in the investigation.
A number of key people related to the hush money probe have already talked to authorities about the case.
Cohen testified before the grand jury investigating the payments on Monday. Two days later, Daniels met with Manhattan prosecutors and answered questions related to the investigation. Her attorney said she was willing to be a witness should the case go to trial.
Trump himself also said Saturday morning that he anticipates an arrest on Tuesday, claiming in a Truth Social post that he learned of the alleged arrest from “ILLEGAL LEAKS FROM A CORRUPT & HIGHLY POLITICAL MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEYS [sic] OFFICE.”
Why now?
It’s not entirely clear why Manhattan prosecutors would bring criminal charges against Trump now after federal prosecutors previously declined to do so, though at that time Trump was the sitting president.
The Manhattan DA’s office opened its own investigation into the payments in 2019, revisiting it several times while looking into other matters related to Trump’s business dealings.
In December, the Trump Organization was convicted of tax fraud in a separate case unrelated to the hush money allegations. A jury found two corporate entities at the Trump Organization guilty on all 17 counts, including charges of conspiracy and falsifying business records, although Trump himself was not on trial.
Tacopina thinks charging Trump now would be a mistake.
“We’ll chew this case up,” he said. “This would be the worst stain on this DA’s legacy.”
What about Trump’s other cases?
The hush money investigation is just one of many potential criminal cases Trump faces as he mounts his third consecutive White House bid.
Prosecutors in Georgia could bring criminal charges against the former president for allegedly interfering in the 2020 election. The special grand jury in that case wrapped up its work in December and the district attorney will now decide whether to go to a regular grand jury for one or more indictments in the case.
Trump is also facing a federal investigation into the storage of classified documents at his Florida home. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a special counsel, Jack Smith, to oversee the probe. The Justice Department has suggested the documents were knowingly withheld after Trump left office.
Smith’s office is also looking into Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election and his potential role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. | 2023-03-18T21:26:46+00:00 | krqe.com | https://www.krqe.com/news/national/what-to-know-about-trumps-hush-money-case-possible-indictment/ |
Abortion rights groups drop suit challenging Kentucky’s ban but continue legal fight
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Abortion-rights groups filed a court motion Tuesday to dismiss their lawsuit challenging Kentucky’s near-total abortion ban but signaled that the legal fight is far from over.
The groups’ strategy will focus on the next legal challenge expected to come from pregnant women who were denied abortion services in Kentucky.
“We will be back in court when we have a patient plaintiff,” Tamarra Wieder, Kentucky state director for Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates, said in a statement.
The current suit was filed by attorneys for the only two abortion clinics left in Kentucky when the state’s ban on the procedure took effect following the 2022 U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.
The plaintiffs in the Kentucky suit failed to get abortion access restored in a February ruling by Kentucky’s Supreme Court that focused on narrow legal issues. The justices didn’t resolve larger constitutional questions about whether access to abortion should be legal in the Bluegrass State.
Abortion providers challenged the ban on the premise that it violated patients’ constitutional rights, but the state’s high court ruled that the providers lacked the “third-party standing” to do so. The justices sent the case back to a circuit court in Louisville.
Last year, Kentucky voters rejected a ballot measure that would have denied any constitutional protections for abortion.
The legal challenge brought by the two Louisville abortion providers revolves around the state’s near-total trigger law ban and a separate six-week ban — both passed by the state’s Republican-dominated Legislature. The trigger law was passed in 2019 and took effect when Roe v. Wade was overturned. It bans abortions except when they’re carried out to save the life of the patient or to prevent disabling injury. It does not include exceptions for cases of rape or incest.
Republican state Attorney General Daniel Cameron’s office has defended the bans. Cameron’s office didn’t immediately respond to emails Tuesday seeking comment on the motion to dismiss the current lawsuit. Previously, he said his office will continue to defend laws that “stand up for the unborn.”
Since the state’s near-complete abortion ban took effect, abortion-rights groups say they have helped Kentuckians “get the care they need, including helping patients find care out of state.”
The groups opposing the ban, including the American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky and Planned Parenthood, said Tuesday that the motion to dismiss the suit stemmed from the state Supreme Court’s ruling “that took away health care providers’ ability to defend the rights of their patients.”
“Bringing cases on behalf of patients has been standard practice in Kentucky and across the country for good reason — numerous obstacles stand in the way of patients coming forward to participate in litigation,” the groups said in a statement.
The question before the Kentucky justices in their February ruling was whether there was a reason to reinstate a lower court’s injunction and block the bans from being enforced.
“To be clear, this opinion does not in any way determine whether the Kentucky Constitution protects or does not protect the right to receive an abortion, as no appropriate party to raise that issue is before us,” Deputy Chief Justice Debra Hembree Lambert wrote. “Nothing in this opinion shall be construed to prevent an appropriate party from filing suit at a later date.”
Now abortion-rights advocates say they’ll team up with people who are pregnant and interested in challenging the abortion bans — in an effort to help restore access to the procedure in Kentucky.
“This fight is far from over,” Wieder said.

(iSeeCars) — So you’re thinking of selling your car. With used car prices still elevated due to supply chain issues, it’s a seller’s market when it comes to selling or trading in your vehicle.
Although you’re likely to get a good price for your used car, there are some options that can get you a higher profit than others. Or, if you’re willing to sacrifice the highest price in favor of convenience, we also have the most convenient places to list your vehicle.
Whether you want to complete the whole process online, visit a dealership, or sell your car privately, we break down the best places to sell your used car.
iSeeCars
Powered by big data analytics, iSeeCars.com brings much needed information transparency to used car shopping. Drawing from over 25 billion data points, iSeeCars applies its unique algorithms to objectively analyze, score and rank over 4 million cars for sale and tens of thousands of dealers. These data-driven insights take the guesswork out of car buying and empower the consumer to make informed shopping decisions.
iSeeCars isn’t just for car buying; you can sell your car on iSeeCars too. The iSeeCars Price My Car Tool is free to use and features a built-in price analysis tool to help sellers find the right price for their listing. The tool also provides assistance on listing your car on other sites to get it seen by millions more potential buyers.
Autotrader and Kelley Blue Book (KBB)
Autotrader is a popular website for both car buyers and sellers. Autotrader is owned by Cox Automotive, which is the same parent company as Kelley Blue Book. Kelley Blue Book was originally a source that dealerships would consult for used-car market values; today, it has grown into a major consumer website that helps owners value their trade-ins and shop for used vehicles.
Autotrader provides resources for sellers whether they want to sell to a dealership or a private party. You can sell your vehicle directly to a dealership or Kelley Blue Book through the site’s instant cash offer tool, or you can list it on the site to find a private party buyer. Autotrader does charge $49 to list your car, but it includes a free Carfax history report and allows for free renewal after a month for up to one year.
CarGurus
With an audience of over 30 million new visitors each month, CarGurus has become one of the top sites to search for used cars. CarGurus offers two options for selling your car: either through a dealer or through a private party.
The CarGurus “Instant Cash Max Offer” tool asks sellers to enter their VIN or license plate number, and then sends your vehicle information to its dealer network. The dealers then bid on your vehicle and provide you with the highest offer. Once you accept an offer, a CarGurus truck will come pick up your car and pay you via check or bank transfer.
Or, you can sell your car privately on CarGurus listing platform for a $4.95 Iisting price using the site’s Sell My Car feature. You’ll also pay $99 to CarGurus when your vehicle sells.
CarMax
Similar to the CarGurus Instant Cash Max Offer, CarMax has the option for an instant online offer or you can bring your vehicle to one of their 238 locations nationwide for an appraisal.
The appraisal team will give you a written offer that is valid for seven days, which will allow you to shop around for a better offer or to secure your replacement vehicle. Keep in mind that this offer is non-negotiable.
Carvana
Carvana is a used car dealer that has pioneered buying and selling a car online. To sell your car through Carvana, enter your vehicle’s VIN or license plate number on the Sell Your Car page on Carvana ’s website.
When you’ve answered all the necessary questions, enter your email and select “get your offer.” It will calculate for around 30 seconds, and your offer will appear. Or, if it is unable to give you an instant offer, it will let you know the offer is pending and you will receive your offer the following day. With Carvana, there’s no haggling and this offer is final. Once you complete the necessary information, a Carvana representative will contact you within three business days and will request information like a photo of your odometer, a picture of the title, and photo identification.
Then schedule an appointment for Carvana to come and pick up your vehicle. When Carvana picks up your car, they will inspect your vehicle to make sure it is how you described. If everything looks good, they will issue you your check on the spot or process the payment to your bank account.
VROOM
Selling your car to VROOM, another online car buying site, is similar to selling your car to Carvana. First you enter the details of your vehicle, including mileage, VIN, condition, and history. Then you will receive an instant offer that will be good for seven days or 250 miles. You will next have to upload your registration and ID and schedule your pick up, which is free within the contiguous United States. You will receive your payment when the vehicle is picked up.
For a more in-depth look at these two online car dealers, see our Carvana VS. Vroom story.
eBay Motors
If you want to sell a vehicle that’s old, antique, or just obscure, eBay Motors is a good place to list your vehicle. The famous online marketplace has had its automotive section for a few years now, and while it’s not as easy as selling your to a local dealer, it draws a niche audience for enthusiasts looking for eclectic and unique cars. It costs between $19 to $79 dollars to list your vehicle, depending on the price of your car and your preferred selling package options, including how many pictures you want to show.
eBay Motors provides two main choices for marketing your vehicle. The first is an auction-style, which awards the sale to the highest bidder. The second is the fixed-price format, which allows you to set your own price and includes the Best Offer feature to allow buyers to submit their best offer.
Each listing comes with a free AutoCheck vehicle history report.
Facebook Marketplace
Facebook Marketplace isn’t just for yard sale items, it’s also a great place to sell your vehicle due to its vast reach and ease of use. Another perk is that many potential buyers may have a commerce profile that allows you to vet them by looking at their previous listings. Or, you can look at their Facebook profile as an additional way to vet them beforehand.
It’s free to list a car on Facebook marketplace,and you are also able to target specific groups. Because it’s a private sale, you will likely get more of a profit than you would by selling to a dealer. While selling your car privately will yield you a bigger profit than trading it in, car buyers may find that it isn’t worth the added hassle. You will have to show your car to prospective buyers and go through the trouble of transferring your car title at the DMV, both of which you wouldn’t have to do if you sold your vehicle to a traditional or online dealer.
Craigslist
What was once the preeminent place to sell your vehicle on the internet, the anonymous world of Craigslist, now has lots of competition. If you want a free place to list your car and target a local audience, a Craigslist classified ad is a viable option. You just have to be wary of potential scams and have a safe place for potential meetings and test drives.
Bring-A-Trailer
Bring-A-Trailer is a niche site for auto enthusiasts that lists classics and rare vehicles. To list your vehicle on Bring-A-Trailer you have to apply, as all vehicles are not selected. Bring-A-Trailer is very selective with its inventory.
If your vehicle is accepted, you can opt for the classic submission for $99, or the Plus submission that includes professional photos for $349. The listings also include a free CarFax vehicle history report.
Cars and Bids
The Cars and Bids vehicle auction site was launched in 2020 as a direct competitor to Bring-A-Trailer. To submit your vehicle to Cars and Bids, you need to provide a brief description, VIN and photos. You also have the option to set a reserve for the vehicle, or to hold the auction without a minimum price. You will have to pay a $89 selling fee for your first listing, while subsequent listings will cost $49. You can also refer to our guide for more about the differences between Bring-A-Trailer Vs. Cars and Bids.
How Do I Sell My Car: The Bottom Line
If you are looking to sell your car, either because you are buying a new car or if you are just looking to unload your vehicle, there are many options out there. You can either visit a physical car dealership, or sell your car through an online dealership. Dealerships also make it easy to trade your car in for a new (or new-to-you used) car. Because the car selling process is so easy, you can get quotes from multiple dealers to see which will get you top dollar. Or, you can set your own asking price by selling your car to a private party by listing it online. Just remember that while private sales may get you the most money, they have the added hassle of the vehicle title transfer and having to arrange vehicle showings.
Once you’ve narrowed down the place to sell your car, refer to our handy guide that details How to Sell Your Car.

New National Stop Cyberbullying Day initiative earmarks the brand's ongoing commitment to bring attention to the global issue of cyberbullying, alongside its partnership with The Cybersmile Foundation
LOS ANGELES, June 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Change starts here. Urban Decay Cosmetics announces the latest initiative in its pledge to fight cyberbullying, "WORDS HURT IRL," a new campaign debuting with a powerful, call-to-action video starring "Tall Girl" actor, Ava Michelle.
WORDS HURT IRL, debuting today in conjunction with National Stop Cyberbullying Day, features a series of videos starring Michelle, a firsthand victim of bullying, both in real life and online. The videos share an impactful synopsis of her personal story and inspire viewers to "stop giving hateful words power" and to "cancel online hate together." Michelle's career debuted as a star on "Dance Moms", where she was dismissed from the show as too tall, given her 6'2" stature. She went on to find success on "So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation," and as the lead actor on Netflix's hit show, "Tall Girl" and its sequel, "Tall Girl 2."
"I feel that one of the best things that you can do with the hardships you have faced, is to truly share those experiences with others and be able to learn and grow together," said Michelle. "We make assumptions that we are alone in what we are going through, but it's so important to know that we aren't and it's going to be ok. I am so thankful to Urban Decay for asking me to be a part of such a wonderful project and for always being a company that wants to do good. I am beyond proud of what we made!"
WORDS HURT IRL is the newest element in Urban Decay's ongoing pledge to champion a call-to-action denouncing cyberbullying, one of the most destructive forms of mental health abuse plaguing the world today, with more than 50% of young adults personally subjected to harassing behavior online. In 2021, the brand committed to a multi-faceted campaign against cyberbullying, initiating a three-year partnership with The Cybersmile Foundation, an award-winning nonprofit committed to digital wellbeing and tackling all forms of bullying and abuse online. Given Urban Decay's formative stance as a leading digital marketer in the beauty industry, the allegiance to fight cyberbullying was a natural one, designed to ensure the brand's online community – and beyond - is always a welcoming, inclusive and safe space.
Urban Decay's collaboration with The Cybersmile Foundation was designed to develop education and support resources for important issues associated with cyberbullying and mental health. The first element premiered in February 2022 with six interactive Urban Decay x Cybersmile Education Modules and an accompanying digital changemaker toolkit, available for free to users of all ages. With the goal of reaching 500,000 people online, this education walks users through simple, impactful materials on everything from "Allyship on Social Media" to "Dealing With Online Bullying" to "Becoming a Changemaker." The entire program can be found at https://www.cybersmileeducation.org/urbandecay and in the resources section of The Cybersmile Foundation website. The partnership also features a three-part $300,000 donation from Urban Decay to The Cybersmile Foundation, to be used towards furthering its work and efforts in the fight against cyberbullying.

- The bi-directional loader features a 180-degree rotating cab.
- The project includes support from the leading global engineering services company, Roush Industries.
SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Feb. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Pro-Tech Group, LLC, a minority-owned company providing innovative, sustainable and safe logistics and supply chain solutions, today announced its patent award from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for a 180-degree rotating cab Class VII variable reach type loader ("bi-directional loader") - U.S. Pat. 11,518,660. Pro-Tech Group chose Roush Industries Inc. to complete a feasibility study and build a working prototype for pilot testing in Q4 2023.
"First and foremost, we couldn't be more thankful for the support from Roush and our partner GameAbove Capital in helping make the bi-directional loader a reality. Safety and speed are at the forefront of our decision to pursue this innovation further," says Earle B. Higgins, CEO of Pro-Tech Group. "Having a machine of this kind in the logistics and construction industry is long overdue. What is in the market serves its purpose. However, due to the size and mechanics, current machines present significant safety concerns for the operators and surrounding workers when moving forward and backward. We believe the number of telescopic loader-related incidents, injuries, and deaths reported across the globe to be considerable enough for a product like ours to be utilitarian. Our bi-directional loader will improve worksite safety and the speed of handling cargo and other items."
The core workings of the bi-directional loader are to allow the operator to swivel the cab 180 degrees to face the direction in which the loader is traveling. The mechanics eliminate driving the loader in reverse while looking over the shoulder and entirely relying on a spotter, side and rearview mirrors, and sensors. The bi-directional loader enhances visibility and offers better maneuverability around tight construction sites and cargo distribution centers.
The bi-directional loader complements Pro-Tech Group's flagship product, the Pro-Tech Container (PTC)—an industry-first, patented, railroad industry-approved, collapsible shipping container designed for autoracks. Today, the PTC can be transported in and out of autoracks and through distribution centers using a modern telescopic loader. Through testing with a major automotive leader in 2020, the time of operations for handling the PTC was considered satisfactory for logistical efficiencies. Pro-Tech Group estimates a decrease in PTC handling time of up to 50% by substituting today's standard telescopic loader with the bi-directional loader.
"We could not be more excited to have the bi-directional loader go to market soon. Not only will it improve our container system, but a variety of companies and industries will benefit from this innovation. Our patent also allows us to explore the mechanics of the rotating cab on other machines and we will implement the technology where it is considered necessary," says Higgins.
Pro-Tech Group chose Roush, an American company specializing in engineering, prototyping, testing and manufacturing services based out of Livonia, Michigan, to solidify the feasibility study for the prototype of the bi-directional loader. "When we were looking for a company to support this initiative, Roush was the top choice. They are widely known for their ingenuity and exceptional team of engineers. Roush is the type of company that can bring something this game-changing to reality," says Higgins.
"We are thrilled to work with Mr. Higgins and Pro-Tech Group on this project," said Steve Wesoloski, Roush Business Development Manager. "The uniqueness of the bi-directional loader is a new challenge for us, and we are confident in our expertise to build a fully working prototype for real-world testing."
The Pro-Tech Container (PTC)
Pro-Tech Group introduced the Pro-Tech Container in 2020. Explicitly intended for U.S. automakers, the PTC capitalizes on deadheading autoracks after successful long-haul automobile shipments across the country. That same year, Pro-Tech Group entered its investment partnership with GameAbove Capital to complete testing and further product development.
Through Pro-Tech Group's study of the automotive shipping industry, it is estimated that automakers can save nearly $10 million annually using the Pro-Tech Container system. Pro-Tech Group has received recognition for the PTC from Canadian National, Ford Motor Company, The National Association of Black Suppliers, and Stellantis.
Definition of Class VII Variable Reach Type
The U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) defines Class VII reach type as a drivable machine equipped with a telescoping boom, which enables it to pick and place loads at various distances and lift heights in front of the machine. The ability to reach out in front of the machine allows the operator flexibility in the placement of a load.

The fight between Disney and the state of Florida has ramped up even more.
Gov. Ron DeSantis is locked in an ongoing battle with the entertainment giant. The company drew the governor’s ire last year when it came out against a law limiting classroom instruction of gender identity and sexual orientation.
Now, two bills are heading to the governor, and one of them requires state inspections of Walt Disney World’s monorail system.
No transportation system would be impacted by the bill except Disney’s monorail. “That type of punitive behavior by government I find to be inappropriate,” said Rep. Anna Eskamani, D-Orlando, who tried unsuccessfully to broaden the language to include any private company that manages trains.
The bill doesn’t name Disney. But the wording requires oversight of “any governmentally or privately owned fixed-guideway transportation systems operating in this state which are located within an independent special district created by a local act which have boundaries within two contiguous counties.”
Disney’s property sits in Orange and Osceola counties, and the bill's language applies only to Disney.
“There was an incident in 2009 where a death occurred," said Rep. Shane Abbott, R-DeFuniak Springs, referring to a collision between the elevated trains that killed a monorail driver. "FDOT's looking at inspecting this so that we know what issues do arise. What this is important for is, we don't know what we don't know right now.”
In an earlier discussion in the Senate, Sen. Nick DiCeglie, R-St. Petersburg, noted there had been multiple incidents at Disney. “There were accidents in 2010, 2014, 2015, 2021, and 2022," he told the chamber. "I want to go to Disney with my family because I do love Disney. I want to make sure when I'm on the monorail that that monorail is safe.”
“This is a double standard,” said Rep. Dotie Joseph, D-North Miami, before the final vote in the House. She called out the political motivations behind the bill. “If we are singling out a particular company, which is the assertion here, then that is significant, and it is problematic," Joseph said. "It is exactly the kind of things that they do in these countries that we claim to be so different from.”
Another bill passed by the Legislature nullifies the development agreements made between Disney and the outgoing Reedy Creek Improvement District. Disney tried to maintain control over its properties through restrictive covenants at the last minute. Now, the new Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, with board members appointed by DeSantis, is trying to claw back its authority by nullifying those agreements and amping up pressure on Disney.
Last month, DeSantis said the new board might be interested in developing the land that sits directly around the Orlando area theme parks. He mentioned the possibility of a state park, more amusements parks, or "another state prison.”
All of this is happening because Disney leaders spoke out against last year’s so-called Don’t Say Gay law, officially known as Parental Rights in Education. The entertainment giant was criticized by fans and employees, many of whom are part of the LGBTQ community, for not saying something sooner. When Disney did speak up, DeSantis clapped back.
“They say, ‘we are going to work to repeal parents rights in Florida.’ And I’m just thinking to myself, you’re a corporation based in Burbank, California, and you’re going to marshal your economic might to attack the parents of my state? We view that as a provocation, and we are going to fight back against that," DeSantis told a cheering crowd at an event at a Hialeah Gardens charter school.
That day, DeSantis signed bills passed during a special legislative session. One did away with the Reedy Creek special governing district, which was created in the 1960s and gave Disney self-governing power. The other removed an exemption for theme parks in a 2021 law designed to punish social-media companies that strip users from platforms.
A year later, anti-Disney legislation is still being passed. The company filed a federal lawsuit last month against DeSantis and the new district board over what it calls government retaliation. In turn, the new board is suing Disney.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WAVY) — A suspect in the University of Virginia shooting that killed three has been taken into custody, authorities said at a news conference.
President Jim Ryan said the shooting happened Sunday night on a school bus of students returning from an off-campus trip. The three students killed were all members of the school’s football team, the school’s president said.
Lavel Davis, Jr., D’Sean Perry and Devin Chandler were identified as the victims, Nexstar station WRIC reported.
The suspect has been identified as Christopher Darnell Jones Jr., who is also a student.
According to the university, the shooting happened around 10:30 p.m. on UVA’s campus.
Two others were injured in the shooting and received medical treatment.
The UVA Athletics website listed Jones as part of the university’s football team. According to the site, he didn’t play any games in 2018 but was on the roster. It wasn’t immediately clear what his overall involvement was on the team.
Jones played linebacker and running back at Petersburg High School in Petersburg, Virginia, reported WRIC.
All classes were canceled Monday, and only designated essential employees were reporting to work. University Transit Service suspended all academic routes Monday morning. Transit officials said they would re-evaluate their ability for service in the afternoon.
Ryan issued a statement early Monday morning saying he was heartbroken following the shooting.
“We are working closely with the families of the victims, and we will share additional details as soon as we are able,” said Ryan. “This is a message any leader hopes to never have to send, and I am devastated that this violence has visited the University of Virginia.”
Counseling and psychological services are available 24 hours a day at 434-243-5150 for any students who may need them. Faculty and staff who are in need of counseling can use the Faculty and Employee Assistance Program by calling 434-243-2643 or by emailing the office using the FEAP website.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration on Thursday slapped terrorism sanctions on two accountants and two companies in Lebanon for providing the militant group Hezbollah with financial services.
The Treasury Department announced it would also impose sanctions on a third person for assisting Hezbollah, a U.S.-designated “foreign terrorist organization,” with weapons acquisitions.
The penalties target Adel Mohamad Mansour, executive director of Hezbollah’s Al-Qard Al-Hassan group, which has been previously sanctioned by the U.S., as well as another company he is involved with, Al-Khobara for Accounting, Auditing, and Studies.
The sanctions also apply to the firm Auditors for Accounting and Auditing and one of its representatives, Naser Hasan Neser, as well as Hassan Khalil, who Treasury said has been active in helping Hezbollah acquire arms.
“The individuals and companies being designated today have enabled Hezbollah’s financial apparatus operating throughout Lebanon,” Treasury said in a statement. “Their public personae as financial professionals and institutions is just another way Hezbollah hides its abuse of the financial system to support its destabilizing agenda.” | 2022-12-02T19:38:37+00:00 | wjhl.com | https://www.wjhl.com/news/politics/ap-us-hits-hezbollah-accountants-with-terrorism-sanctions/ |
DePerno needs to come clean
Matthew DePerno's charge of political bias in Michigan's investigation of his unauthorized access of a Roscommon County voting machine is pure Trump: When they catch you in the cookie jar, deny, deflect, admit nothing.
DePerno should come clean.
There are four kinds of Americans these days: Those who saw through Trump's "stolen election" scam; those worked hard to defeat it (clearly, DePerno is neither of those); those who fell for the scam; and those who actively tried to shake their fellow citizens' faith in democracy.
So which is DePerno? A dupe or a knowing perpetrator of the scam?

The Chicago Bears embarked on a new era Wednesday with the purchase of a site in Arlington Heights where the team hopes to build a new enclosed stadium with a massive entertainment and residential development.
Despite the sale, the organization maintains the stadium and development are still big “ifs,” dependent on the team getting certainty on property tax limits and public subsidies to help build infrastructure for the project. But the team issued an open letter calling the purchase “an important next step” to see if the plan is feasible.
By shelling out $197 million for the 326-acre Arlington International Racecourse site, team officials plan to leave behind Chicago’s Soldier Field in favor of owning their own stadium where they could also hold marquee events like the Super Bowl or NCAA basketball championships.
The announcement comes shortly after a “megaprojects” bill was introduced in Springfield that could help the Bears finance their plans by freezing the property tax assessment for up to 40 years. But state lawmakers from Chicago are unlikely to help the Bears leave, and downstate legislators will want something in return. Even the bill’s sponsor, state Sen. Ann Gillespie, a Democrat from Arlington Heights, has expressed doubts about the measure.
There already is opposition in Springfield to tax breaks for the Bears to leave Soldier Field, where they have played since 1971. When state lawmakers recently created a fund to attract companies to locate in Illinois, they went out of their way to prohibit its use for pro sports teams that relocate within the state.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker has also voiced his objection to state subsidies, saying, “It’s not our obligation as the state to step in and provide major funding, and I certainly don’t want to burden taxpayers with, you know, major support for a private business.”
The team faces several other obstacles to making its dream come true. Local school officials have raised concerns that they will get more students from new housing as part of the project, but with reduced revenue due to tax breaks for the team.
That prospect has prompted some school districts to move forward with hiring a lobbyist to influence the legislation.Arlington Heights leaders have said they are encouraging the parties involved to listen to local interests like the school districts.
The relocation also would come with a penalty if the Bears break their lease early at Soldier Field, which runs through 2033. If the team left in 2026, it would be on the hook for an $84 million penalty.
Arlington Heights Mayor Thomas Hayes has welcomed the team to his village, while saying residents’ concerns about traffic and other aspects must be addressed. The Village Board has signaled its general support for the move by approving a preliminary, nonbinding agreement with the team that provides for potential subsidies including special tax breaks for the area.
But the Illinois chapter of Americans for Prosperity, a Koch brothers-funded libertarian group, has fought any “corporate welfare” for the project, and hopes to put a referendum on the ballot to oppose any local subsidies. The group also published a poll showing that Arlington Heights residents welcome the Bears but don’t want to pay extra taxes for the relocation.
Ironically, the Bears’ historic move was set in motion in 2002, when Chicago tried to appease the team by renovating Soldier Field at a cost of $690 million. Taxpayers are still paying for their $432 million — plus interest — share of the renovation that was roundly criticized.
By cramming a modern stadium inside a historic landmark, the result was the smallest stadium in the National Football League, with a capacity of 61,500, and a lack of amenities that many other stadiums have.
The team rents from the Chicago Park District for about $6.5 million a year — less than they’ve paid some of the team’s star players — but it doesn’t control revenue from naming rights, parking or concessions. In the past, the playing field was often in bad shape, and relations with the Park District sometimes were strained. WBEZ reported that the Park District rebuffed the team’s initial proposal for a sports betting lounge in 2021.
The team did, however, raise money from fans paying for high-priced personal seat licenses required to get season tickets after the renovation. If the new stadium goes through, the team would likely require fans to pay again for new seat licenses.
In 2021, Churchill Downs announced the racecourse land was for sale and ended horse racing there. The Bears announced a preliminary purchase agreement in September of that year. It took until now for team officials to investigate and close the deal.
Last year, the team announced plans for an enclosed $2 billion stadium on the site, which the Bears said they would pay for themselves. The team asked for taxpayer help to build the new roads, utilities and other infrastructure for the $5 billion multiuse development, likely to include apartments, condominiums, bars, restaurants, a hotel, green space and parking lots. The racetrack would be demolished, but access from the existing Metra station would be enhanced, along with new entrances and exits from the adjacent Route 53.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot initially dismissed the Bears’ proposal as “noise,” saying they should concentrate on winning. Last summer, though, in a bid to keep the team, the city proposed a $2 billion plan to put a dome on Soldier Field. Team officials said they were not considering any deals other than for the racecourse, which opened in 1927 and for decades was officially known as Arlington Park.
The team estimated a $1 billion annual economic impact from the development, but economists generally warn that subsidized stadium deals usually do not repay public investment.
Recent stadium construction elsewhere shows such an undertaking requires years of work.
Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, where the Raiders play their home games, cost $1.9 billion to build with construction beginning in 2017 and the arena opening in July 2020. SoFi Stadium, in Inglewood, California, had a much larger price tag, estimated at $5.5 billion, and benefits from hosting two teams. The home to the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers also opened in 2020.
Last month, Bears owners and chairman George McCaskey said the Arlington Park property was the team’s “singular focus” in exploring new stadium possibilities. New Bears President and CEO Kevin Warren further emphasized that the team was not currently in a position to consider grand proposals for upgrading or revamping Soldier Field.
“I look forward to leaning into the stadium development project,” Warren said during his introductory news conference at Halas Hall. “But I think the biggest thing we can do is to make sure we’re methodical and detailed and we take the time to plan it properly.”
As the chief operating officer of the Minnesota Vikings, Warren was at the forefront of leading that organization’s construction of U.S. Bank Stadium in downtown Minneapolis, which opened in 2016. That project cost $1.06 billion.
U.S. Bank Stadium hosted Super Bowl LII in February 2018 and was the site of the men’s Final Four a year later.
Warren said last month that, with a potential new Bears stadium, his aim would be to “create an atmosphere that becomes a 365-day-a-year environment.” “So there’s a lot to do,” he added. “It’s exciting. It’s a challenge.”
Should the team proceed, the development would be one of the largest projects in Midwest history. The team estimated that construction would create 48,000 jobs and $9 billion in economic stimulus, and once completed, would generate more than $1 billion in annual economic impact.
Economists generally have questioned such projections. The village of Arlington Heights has hired its own consultant to review the numbers and see whether they would repay local taxpayer investment.
The team said it will continue meeting with local residents, small business owners, school districts, elected officials and other interested stakeholders to get their input.
“For the development to move forward,” the team stated, “and for this effort to be financially feasible, a public-private partnership addressing predictable taxes and necessary infrastructure funding for public uses is essential.”
In response, Mayor Hayes said he is “very excited about this unique opportunity, and very appreciative that the Bears have chosen to make such a major investment in our community.”
Sen. Gillespie said her property tax proposal has been met with “radio silence” from the Bears, but added “I’m glad to see that they’ve reached the final step and that they’re making a commitment, and I look forward to seeing how this all develops.”

WASHINGTON – Lawmakers leading the negotiations on a bill to fund the federal government for the current fiscal year announced Tuesday they're reached agreement on a “framework" that should allow them to complete work on the bill over the next week and avoid a government shutdown.
Congress faces a midnight Friday deadline to pass a spending bill to prevent a partial government shutdown. The two chambers are expected to pass another short-term measure before then to keep the government running through Dec. 23, which will allow negotiators time to complete work on the full-year bill.
“Now, the House and Senate Appropriations Committees will work around the clock to negotiate the details of final 2023 spending bills that can be supported by the House and Senate and receive President Biden’s signature," said Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, the Democratic chair of the House Appropriations Committee.
Earlier in the day, Senate leaders said lawmakers from the two parties were nearing an agreement, but Republicans warned Democrats that lawmakers would need to complete their work by Dec. 22 or they would only support a short-term extension into early next year. That would give House Republicans more leverage over what's in the legislation, since they will be in the majority then.
“We intend to be on the road going home on the 23rd. We intend not to be back here between Christmas and New Year’s, and if we can’t meet that deadline, we would be happy to pass a short-term (resolution) into early next year," said Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader in the Senate.
McConnell voiced confidence Republicans would be able to meet their priorities of increasing spending on defense without “having to pay a bonus above what President Biden asked for" on non-defense priorities. He said Democrats were willing to accept that because they had previously passed two bills on a party-line basis that allow for more government spending on various domestic priorities.
Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., said last week that the two parties were about $25 billion apart in what is expected to be about a $1.65 trillion package, not including mandatory spending on programs such as Social Security and Medicare. However, Democrats in their statements did not indicate what topline spending number had been reached in the framework announced Tuesday. | 2022-12-14T03:49:55+00:00 | local10.com | https://www.local10.com/news/politics/2022/12/14/lawmakers-announce-framework-on-bill-to-keep-govt-open/ |
HMO, PPO, FSA – OMG!
Open enrollment season is upon us, and it's time to sign up for a health insurance plan for the next calendar year. But between the alphabet soup of acronyms and all those daunting data tables, it can be hard to figure out which plan to choose.
While we know this task isn't as exciting as spooky szn or pumpkin-spiced everything, it's important for your health (and will serve you a lot longer than that polyester Halloween costume).
The good news: Life Kit has expert advice to help take the scary out of this process. Here's a cheat sheet of what to keep in mind as you make a decision.
Read your plan's summary of benefits
The first step is to know what's in your health insurance plan, says Tasha Carter, the insurance consumer advocate for the state of Florida. "Many consumers fail to take advantage of the benefits that are offered by their health insurance policy simply because they don't know they exist – or even worse, they end up paying out of pocket for expenses that may have been covered."
So, even though you've had the same plan for years, take a few moments to look over your plan's latest summary of benefits. Health insurance companies are required to provide a summary of benefits and coverage written in simple language. If you don't get it in the mail at the beginning of the year, log on to your health insurance website or call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask for it.
"Oftentimes, insurance companies make changes to benefits, so you want to make sure you understand what those changes are and how they may impact you" and your health, Carter says. Listen to our episode on how to maximize your health insurance coverage here.
Get a sense of your medical needs from a doctor you trust
That can dictate what kind of health insurance you might need in the coming year. "Having someone who's been following you, ideally for years, is extremely valuable in helping you to make decisions" about your health care — and therefore your coverage plan, says pediatrician Dr. Nicole Rochester.
And make sure your preferred primary care doctor and prescription medications are still covered by your insurance, says Aaron DeLaO, formerly the director of health initiatives at the nonprofit group Foundation Communities. Otherwise, he says, you should it "eliminate it" and "find a plan that's going to cover those."
Demystify health insurance jargon
Learn what common health insurance terms like "CHIP," "cost-sharing" and "deductible" mean. It can empower you to better understand what signing on to a plan might mean for your budget and your health. Read our handy glossary of terms here.
Take advantage of freebies ...
Even if you have a bare-bones plan with high deductibles, screenings and other preventive care should be included in your coverage, says Carter, the insurance consumer advocate. That includes screenings for diabetes, cholesterol and blood pressure. To get a handle on what you might need in the coming months, check out this list of recommended screenings by age compiled by the American Academy of Family Physicians.
... and perks
Another advantage of reading your insurance coverage plan super carefully? You might discover useful benefits. Your insurer, for example, might offer discounts to your local gym membership or services that improve your quality of life, like LASIK surgery or massages.

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Virginia State Troopers made an unusual traffic stop on I-95 Tuesday evening, pulling over an entire mobile home as it made its way out of Richmond.
The house was first spotted on Broad Street in Richmond, where it was attempting to merge onto I-95, but evidently became stuck in the intersection, blocking several lanes of traffic – and getting a branch stuck in the roofing material as well.

A short while later, VDOT traffic cameras caught the house heading north on I-95. Unfortunately, a portion of the mobile home’s plastic wrapping had come undone, and it was visibly dragging behind the rest of the structure.
The mobile home was eventually pulled over onto a highway shoulder by state troopers.
Virginia State Police said officers responded to the incident on I-95 near the 5th Street overpass. Police said the mobile home was over-height and hit the bridge just after 8 p.m. There are no signs of damage to the bridge.
The 64-year-old driver from Coats, North Carolina was not injured and will be charged with an over-height vehicle violation.
The incident caused traffic delays on I-95 near exit 78.

Pluralsight Flow Also Adds Sprint Movement Report; Allows Engineering Teams to Identify Bottlenecks and Inefficiencies to Deliver Value Faster
SILICON SLOPES, Utah, June 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pluralsight, the technology workforce development company, today announced the launch of two new features for Pluralsight Flow, the software development intelligence platform helping engineering organizations accelerate growth through optimized software delivery. These features include Team Health Insights, which enables engineering leaders to proactively diagnose the holistic health of their teams, and the Sprint Movement report, designed to help with sprint planning and predictability efforts. Together, these new capabilities complement Pluralsight Flow's goal to help engineering organizations better understand their workflows, build thriving teams, drive strategic alignment, and deliver value to customers faster and reliably.
Understanding team health and developer satisfaction while ensuring fast, high-quality software delivery, continues to be a top strategic imperative for engineering organizations around the globe. Despite having many tools and processes at their disposal, engineering leaders often lack context into their data, making it difficult to understand how developers are really doing. Pluralsight Flow's Team Health Insights and Sprint Movement report solve this problem by providing leaders with supplemental data on team workflows, allowing them to ask and answer additional questions across the entire software delivery value chain.
"Engineering leaders and their teams are constantly trying to reconcile two competing demands: rapidly innovating while ensuring they deliver stable, reliable software. Pluralsight Flow is a key enabling partner for these leaders to help them sustainably optimize delivery lead times by focusing on process improvements that improve the developer experience," said Greg Ceccarelli, General Manager at Pluralsight Flow. "By introducing Team Health Insights and the Sprint Movement report, Pluralsight Flow is delivering new insights that give engineering leaders the power to understand team constraints, identify how they can best address them, improve the developer experience, and ultimately deliver more value to customers faster. Conversations and efforts can focus on where it matters most, helping teams make changes with real impact."
With the addition of Team Health Insights, Pluralsight Flow is the only solution that gives a comprehensive, single pane of glass view into team health, empowering engineering leaders with the necessary metrics to diagnose, optimize, and lead their organization's processes sustainably. With Team Health Insights, customers can identify potential bottlenecks before they cause significant problems. They have access to quantified measurement of holistic team health through metrics categorized into key areas that act as pillars of sustainability for an engineering team: culture, activity, and efficiency.
- Culture pillar allows leaders to assess developer satisfaction and collaboration within their teams using metrics such as time to first comment, submitter time to respond, amount of reviews on pull requests and types of comments.
- Activity pillar enables team members to view pace of work and accrued risk within their teams to build a healthy work balance using code and collaboration velocity metrics.
- Efficiency pillar helps leaders understand flow of work through the system, identify disruptions and bottlenecks, and assess how much of their team's time is spent in meetings using metrics such as time to merge and queue time.
"As someone who looks at data from multiple sources to understand my team's health, I found the Team Health Insights report a great addition to the Pluralsight Flow tool," said Pedro Silva, Engineering Operations Lead at OLX Group. "Not only does it display data from multiple key areas but it also allows you to customize the data points you would like to see and focus on."
By analyzing metrics from each of these pillars, Team Health Insights enables engineering leaders to benchmark themselves to understand where and how process changes will have the most impact.
In traditional sprint reports, leaders are able to see the final result of a sprint: whether the team failed or succeeded in meeting their commitments. However, most teams find it difficult to surface the reasons behind the success or failure of a sprint. Pluralsight Flow's Sprint Movement report solves this problem by helping leaders see what was committed prior to a sprint, what was added during the sprint and the overall completion rate of committed versus added work.
With the Sprint Movement report, customers can also see who is working on the additional requests. This allows for better collaboration and planning for future sprints, as well as sprint trends across time. By reducing the time spent actively trying to figure out what was causing bottlenecks in sprint retrospectives, engineering leaders can focus their teams collaboratively on removing said bottlenecks. This transparency allows customers to better understand their processes while helping set realistic goals, manage appropriate workloads, and estimate project deadlines more confidently across the organization, ultimately leading to healthier teams that produce accelerated customer impact.
"I am absolutely delighted again and again by the impact made by Pluralsight Flow metrics, particularly the new Sprint Movement Report. Pluralsight's uniquely open and flexible engagement with Allvue Systems puts us ahead of the competition in visualizing our leading and lagging delivery indicators as they are recognized live," said Matt Jones, Head of Agile Delivery at Allvue Systems. "The presentation and calculation of these delivery metrics provided encourages healthy practice and interaction within both our delivery teams as well as across the organization. These metrics alone reinforce and support the benefits of agile but coupled with the visualization techniques of Pluralsight Flow, these become a powerful tool for positive disruption and alignment within organizations and for business agility transformation."
