How celebrity influence helps small businesses
It was recently announced that Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava will make their Oscars debut performing the viral sensation “Naatu Naatu.” This show-stopping dance number from “RRR” by M.M. Keeravaani and Chandrabose has already created a great deal of buzz.
Distinctive Assets, a niche marketing company offering celebrity seeding, is hoping to take advantage of all the press surrounding the awards show by gifting nominees with the ultimate swag bag prior to the event. The hope is that the exposure can bring attention to these quality products from a diverse and inclusive array of small businesses.
In this article: Opopop Silicone Popcorn Popper, Harmless Harvest Raw Organic Coconut Water and Clif Bar Thins Snack Bars.
What is the ultimate swag bag?
The “Everyone Wins” nominee gift bag is not affiliated with the Oscars or the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in any way. It’s a phenomenal goodie bag given to each and every nominee the week before the live event. It’s filled with gifts from a broad array of diverse and inclusive small businesses that are hoping their products will gain meaningful exposure from being associated with Hollywood’s biggest names on its biggest night.
Lash Fary, Founder of Distinctive Assets, said, “While this gift bag does, as always, have an impressive value, that is neither our focus nor goal. This is a straightforward win/win. These nominees are in a unique position to help participating brands immeasurably by simply wearing, using and talking about these products. Marketing and advertising can and must coexist with the ever-present reporting of bad news globally. This isn’t frivolity; it’s basic economics.”

Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots are climbing. What are the biggest wins in Oklahoma history?
The current Powerball jackpot is in the top ten of all-time, and as of this writing, the Mega Millions is close behind cracking its own list.
While those top winnings have never been claimed in Oklahoma (not yet at least), those playing the games in the state have won big before.
Here's a look at the biggest winners in Oklahoma, what we know about what they did with the winnings and how those winnings compare to other lottery winners nationwide.
Highest Oklahoma Powerball jackpot worth $105.8 million
On June 29, 2007, a nine-figure prize was claimed in Oklahoma, two days after the drawing for the winning number. The sum was won just a year after Oklahoma joined Powerball.
What are the odds?Oklahoma is one of the least lucky states for winning Powerball, Mega Millions jackpots
Biggest Oklahoma Mega Millions win worth $5 million
On April 3, 2015, a Mega Millions ticket worth $5 million was claimed. The ticket was a prize from a drawing on March 17 and sold in Homeland in northwest Oklahoma City.
Who won that record Powerball jackpot? What did they do with their winnings?
An eastern Oklahoma couple claimed the prize, taking home a lump sum of $33.3 million instead of a higher amount that would be paid out over 29 years.
Don and Joyce Harvey said they expressed disbelief when they won, especially given that the 1989 Freightliner semi-truck with with two million miles Don drove had broken down that same week.
"Basically, I just broke down and cried," Joyce, 52, said.
With new funds, Don, 64, said he planned to buy a new truck and to continue his job.
"I've got to have something to do," he said. "I can't go fishing all the time and I don't play golf."
The couple added that they'd pay off their debts, consider buying a new home, and help out family members with their winnings. Over time, they've given to other causes, too.
Among them were gifts to Valley Children's Cystic Fibrosis Program and another one to the University of Oklahoma Medical Center doctors that allowed them to purchase a mobile research unit that helped them study diabetes in children who live in rural areas. They also created a non-profit with the goal of providing financial resources to children with life-threatening diseases, too.
Mega Millions winner was not disclosed
The name of the winner was not announced, but the Oklahoma Lottery says it was claimed by JMJ Trust.
After taxes, the trust reportedly received a total of $3,550,000 of the $5 million prize.

SpaceX rocket to launch on test flight
(Gray News) - SpaceX is testing its Starship rocket with a launch from Texas on Monday.
Starship is a 400-foot-tall rocket SpaceX has spent years developing.
SpaceX will attempt to send the spacecraft atop the colossal booster around the world, from the southern tip of Texas all the way to Hawaii.
No people or satellites are aboard the rocket, and no landings will be attempted for this debut.
The rocket is also expected to be the most powerful one ever flown by a wide margin.
Monday’s launch, if successful, will reach orbital speeds and travel about 150 miles above Earth’s surface, well into altitudes deemed to be outer space.
Starship is expected to underpin NASA’s plans to return humans to the lunar surface as early as 2025 and CEO Elon Musk’s goal of landing the first humans on Mars.

As Arbor Day approaches on Friday, attention tree-huggers and other interested parties: Wisconsin’s Champion Trees Program, dormant for several years, is up and running again, and it has some nifty new features.
The program’s roots are deep. It goes back to 1941 and was started by a Wisconsin conservation icon named Walter Scott. Today’s version, managed by the Department of Natural Resources, is finding its footing with new tools and methods, says the appropriately named Christopher Tall, the DNR communications specialist overseeing the revised effort. There’s a new searchable web-based map, and an ArcGIS database that can be accessed on a cell phone app called Survey 123 to search for trees. The DNR launched the new site in 2021 and has been building the program since, Tall says. Those are big changes for a database that started from scraps of paper in 1941.
Why bother with champion trees? Tree hunters, and there are more than a few, say trees tell their own stories, and if nothing else, we humans ought to stop and marvel at these wondrous and important earthly neighbors. We have environmental, economic, cultural and sometimes emotional ties to them. The effort to find and make note of the state's largest leads tree hunters to the backwoods and city streets, to farmsteads and riversides, from the tall cliffs along our Great Lakes to the rolling hills of the driftless region.
The tree-hunters movement began in earnest in the 1940s, and Wisconsin was right in there. One thing remains the same over time: When it comes to champion trees, size does matter. Well, sort of.
The DNR's champion trees website includes instructions for measuring a tree’s circumference at 4 ½ feet, along with its height and crown spread, providing a composite score. The revived program relies on volunteers to verify trees that are nominated. “We have a team of trained volunteer inspectors," Tall says. "We’re making sure we have all the tools and expertise to measure trees accurately.”
Before sending inspectors to private properties, the agency obtains permission from landowners.
New champion trees have been verified, and more are to come. Then there’s the task of searching an old database dating back to 1941 to identify which trees might still be alive and sorting through years of champion nominations from throughout the state. The database was on the state website for years but was removed for a time when the program hit an ebb. The goal now is to provide an updated database, one tied to digital technology. “Even when the facilitation of the program has ebbed and flowed, the public interest has remained solid," Tall says. "We kept on getting nominations when things were quiet and dormant."
The original database was initially compiled by Scott, longtime assistant director of the state Conservation Department, which became the DNR during his tenure. Scott’s colorful career is a story in itself. Virtually everything conservation-related in the state had his fingerprints on it for four decades. As the Wisconsin Conservation Hall of Fame notes, “His home on Madison’s west side, Hickory Hill House, was a mecca for conservationists. …Some are called to do research, others to develop policy, and still others to explain it all to the public. Walter Scott approached the latter task with zeal.”
Scott oversaw the database for 28 years until his retirement in 1974. It bounced around a bit until the early 1980s, when DNR forester Dick Rideout took it under his wing. Right around then is when interest in champion trees jumped, thanks in no small part to professional arborist Bruce Allison. Just like Scott, Allison had a special affinity for champion trees. “I went to Walter Scott in 1982 or thereabout,” Allison recalled in an interview last year at his rural Verona home. “I said, ‘I would like to bring some of this to the attention of the general public.’”
After gaining Scott’s trust, Allison was invited back to Hickory Hill, where Scott flung open the garage door. “There must have been 20 cardboard boxes of letters, newspaper clippings, whatever he had gathered about the champion trees of Wisconsin,” says Allison.
Allison and his research buddy and photographer, Wolfgang Hoffmann, traversed the state in search of champion trees for a year and a half.
“Some were there, others weren’t," he says. "We would take out tape measure, wind it around the trees and get a measurement.” That led to Wisconsin’s first champion tree book, “Wisconsin’s Famous and Historic Trees: A Tree Hunter’s Guide,” published in 1982 and reissued in 2005. Allison also authored “Every Root an Anchor: Wisconsin’s Famous and Historic Trees,” a book that tells the stories of significant, unusual and historic trees. You can download a PDF of that book from this DNR web page.
Those books spawned other efforts. Tree hunters across the state were on the lookout for new champions. Magazines and newspapers told stories of tall trees. Then things quieted.
Until now. The revised program “is an opportunity to celebrate sustainable forestry and increase interest in public and private trees and the benefits they provide,” says Tall.
Or, as Allison puts it: “Trees and people need each other. It’s a symbiotic relationship.” | 2023-04-24T21:56:40+00:00 | captimes.com | https://captimes.com/opinion/guest-columns/opinion-sure-you-can-spot-a-tree-but-can-you-find-a-champion/article_004ce70a-74b3-5687-ac66-c741f5867ec7.html |
ST. LOUIS, May 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- When ants go marching in your home this spring, make treating them a breeze with Hot Shot® Ant, Roach & Spider Killer aerosols – newly reformulated with game-changing, complex fragrances formulated to mask that unmistakable bug spray smell. The improved scents provide an enhanced experience with the same great results consumers have come to expect from Hot Shot® insecticides – without the odor.
The new spray scents – Crisp Linen, Fresh Floral and Lemon – were developed in response to feedback from consumers, who indicated that the harsh chemical smell of traditional insect control products was instantly recognizable and unpleasant. The retooled formulas blend complementary notes to create three new household-friendly fragrance profiles that leave behind no harsh chemical smell.
- CRISP LINEN A fresh, clean, sophisticated scent with a warm blend of ozonic, amber and musk notes – a new addition to the Hot Shot® Ant, Roach & Spider Killer lineup
- FRESH FLORAL Inspired by nature, this vibrant scent blends aromatic lavender and eucalyptus fragrances with the natural freshness of geranium and sage scents
- LEMON Fresh citronella scent is mixed with uplifting lemon verbena, refreshing eucalyptus and cool mint notes
With Hot Shot® Ant, Roach & Spider Killer, it still just takes one shot to knock 'em down, kill 'em and keep protecting. This powerful formula knocks down insects in seconds, kills ants, roaches, spiders and other listed insects on contact*, and keeps killing up to 3 months.** The spray dries quickly to leave no oily, sticky residue behind. Use it indoors as a spot treatment along baseboards, in cracks and crevices and around pipes and plumbing, or use outdoors around doors, windows, patios or other areas insects may enter.
"Our improved ant, roach and spider formula isn't your typical insecticide," said Javier Andrade-Marin, President of the Spectrum Brands Home & Garden business unit, maker of Hot Shot® insect control products. "These complex scents address a common consumer drawback of treating for insects around the home to make it a little more pleasant to get the job done."
New and improved Hot Shot® Ant, Roach & Spider Killer products are available nationwide at home centers, grocery stores, and mass, dollar and online retailers.

For many parents, Halloween is a time to look forward to the costumes, revelry and of course candy.
But for parents of a child with a disability, it can be a daunting task to think about getting the perfect ensemble, an effort that is complicated by the need for costumes that can be manipulated around mobility aids, helmets, tubing and other items.
Savannah Smith was diagnosed with Ogden syndrome, a rare genetic mutation that affects only about 100 people in the world.
"With Ogden syndrome, Savannah has cerebral palsy, she has epilepsy, she has a heart condition, so she's a pretty complex girl medically," said her mother Lacey Smith.
The 11-year-old from Salem is wheelchair-bound and communicates through a computer using a big red button known as a "big Mac switch."
The big red button also provided the family with an inspiration for this year's Halloween costume. Savannah loves NBC's singing competition show "The Voice" and has dreamed of sitting in the coaches' spinning red chairs.
With the help of the Massachusetts-based nonprofit Magic Wheelchair, Savannah's dream came true. The organization worked with Solidworks to design and retrofit Savannah's wheelchair into a replica "The Voice" chair. Her communication machine was programmed with the phrases "Trick-or-Treat" and "Thank you, happy Halloween," allowing Savannah to have her own voice when she hits the big red button.
Savannah was surprised with the chair last week and debuted it at the annual Salem Haunted Happenings parade.

Transfer portal season is in full swing.
Cal Poly redshirt freshman tight end Josh Cuevas announced a commitment to Washington on Monday — hours after USC linebacker Ralen Goforth tweeted his own UW commitment and minutes after Husky wideout Lonyatta Alexander Jr. revealed he’ll enter the transfer portal.
Cuevas — a 6-foot-5, 245-pounder from Valley Village, California — contributed 57 catches, 663 receiving yards and six touchdowns at Cal Poly this fall. He was named an FCS Freshman All-American and third-team All-Big Sky performer, and has three seasons of remaining eligibility.
“Let’s get this show on the road!! Time to put in that work,” Cuevas tweeted Monday, alongside his UW commitment.
Cuevas, who took a UW official visit on the weekend of Dec. 9, chose the Huskies over offers from Arizona State, Nevada, Utah, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, West Virginia and Oklahoma State.
He’ll provide needed depth in a precariously thin tight ends room. Pseudo-starters Devin Culp (25 catches, 237 receiving yards and one TD in 12 games) and Jack Westover (27 catches, 310 yards, 1 TD) could both return for sixth seasons in 2023, but UW’s only other scholarship tight ends are sophomore Quentin Moore, redshirt freshman Caden Jumper and true freshman Ryan Otton.
UW’s list of incoming transfers now includes Cuevas, Goforth, Michigan State wide receiver Germie Bernard and Sioux Falls edge Zach Durfee. Alexander, junior safety Cameron Williams, redshirt freshman defensive tackle Kuao Peihopa and redshirt freshman corner Zakhari Spears are headed out of Seattle as well. | 2022-12-19T22:26:00+00:00 | seattletimes.com | https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/uw-husky-football/fcs-freshman-all-american-tight-end-josh-cuevas-announces-uw-commitment/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all |
SAN DIEGO, Feb. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Synergy Health Partners, a leader in specialized hospital staffing and management models that improve access to care, today announced that Richard L. Makowiec, MD, MBA, will be the company's new Chief Surgical Officer. In this role, Dr. Makowiec will lend his extensive medical background and clinical leadership expertise to help guide the strategic expansion of the company's healthcare staffing and management solutions.
His key responsibilities will include physician recruitment and retention as well as program management. He will take the place of retiring co-founder Dr. Rand Schleusener, who helped pioneer the company's flagship Surgicalist staffing model.
"Amid an acute and growing shortage of medical professionals, hospitals and healthcare leaders need staffing partners who understand doctors – and the needs of clinicians today," said Dr. Makowiec. "Synergy Health Partners has developed innovative models that attract skilled clinicians to help hospitals provide patients with the quality care they deserve. I am honored to represent our doctors and advanced practitioners and be part of the company's continued expansion."
A highly accomplished surgeon and clinical leader, Dr. Makowiec most recently helped lead a successful orthopedic and hand surgery private practice. In parallel, he held the position of Vice President of Medical Staff and Orthopedic Surgery Division Chief at Franciscan Health Indianapolis – Mooresville Hospital and served on the Franciscan Health Central Indiana Division Quality Council. In addition to his extensive clinical committee work, he was also on the medical staff for the Chicago Cubs Major League Baseball Organization.
As an educator, Dr. Makowiec has had several academic appointments and his clinical research has been published widely in scientific journals. He is currently on the editorial board of Acta Scientific Orthopaedics and Techniques in Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery. Of note, he has been named one of "America's Top Orthopedists" many years in a row by the Consumer Research Council and has been recognized several times with the "Top Doctor" award by HealthTap.
Dr. Makowiec graduated with a Bachelor of Science in microbiology from the University of Michigan and began his clinical career in the U.S. Navy Medical Corps, where he served for 12 years. During his service, he completed his medical training at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, an internship in general surgery and residency in orthopedic surgery at Northwestern University, and a fellowship in hand surgery at the Indiana Hand Center in Indianapolis. He also holds a Master of Business Administration from the Jack Welch Management Institute at Strayer University in Herndon, VA.
"As a surgeon, an educator and a healthcare leader, Dr. Makowiec has the ideal combination of skills and experience for the role of Chief Surgical Officer. He is committed to our mission of helping our hospital clients deliver world-class care to patients nationwide," said Dan Siegel, chief executive officer of Synergy Health Partners. "We knew that anyone replacing our co-founder Dr. Rand Schleusener had big shoes to fill; and we are confident that with Dr. Makowiec's medical expertise and business acumen, he will continue to represent our focus on the clinician and support our next-level of success."

BERLIN (AP) — Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the biggest in Europe, has lost its last remaining external power source as a result of renewed shelling and is now relying on emergency diesel generators, the U.N. nuclear watchdog said Saturday.
The International Atomic Energy Agency said that the plant’s link to a 750-kilovolt line was cut at around 1 a.m. Saturday. It cited official information from Ukraine as well as reports from IAEA experts at the site, which is held by Russian forces.
All six reactors at the plant are shut down but they still require electricity for cooling and other safety functions. Plant engineers have begun work to repair the damaged power line and the plant’s generators — not all of which are currently being used — each have sufficient fuel for at least 10 days, the IAEA said.
“The resumption of shelling, hitting the plant’s sole source of external power, is tremendously irresponsible,” IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi said in a statement.
Grossi visited Kyiv on Thursday. He said he will soon travel to Russia, then make another trip to Ukraine, to further his effort to set up a “nuclear safety and security protection zone” around the plant, which he has advocated for weeks.
“This is an absolute and urgent imperative,” he said. The IAEA didn’t apportion blame for the shelling.
Zaporizhzhia is one of four regions that Russian President Vladimir Putin has annexed in violation of international laws. While the nuclear plant has been under Russian control for months, the city of the same name remains under Ukrainian control.
Putin signed a decree Wednesday declaring that Russia was taking over the plant. Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry called it a criminal act and said it considered Putin’s decree “null and void.” Ukraine’s state nuclear operator, Energoatom, said it would continue to operate the plant.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — After years of opposition to any form of marijuana legalization in Wisconsin, Republican lawmakers are now working privately to build support for a medical cannabis program that could win bipartisan backing and be enacted into law later this year, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos told The Associated Press on Thursday.
For now, the group of lawmakers — whom Vos declined to name — are working only among Assembly Republicans to build enough support, and he hopes to introduce the plan this fall. Vos has long backed some form of medical marijuana program, but no bill has ever received a vote in either the GOP-controlled Assembly or Senate.
Vos said he remains steadfastly opposed to legalizing recreational marijuana and does not want to create a medical program that would be a precursor to that. Wisconsin remains an outlier nationally, with medical marijuana legal in 38 states and recreational marijuana legal in 21. The push for legalization in Wisconsin has gained momentum, as neighboring Illinois and Michigan allow recreational use while Minnesota and Iowa have legalized medical use.
“We are not Illinois. We are not California. We are not Colorado,” Vos said in an interview. “We are a state that’s at best purple. And purple is not legalization of recreational marijuana.”
Vos’s announcement that Republicans have been working on a deal he hopes can pass the Legislature comes on April 20, or “420 Day,” marijuana’s high holiday. Advocates for pot legalization planned to announce a “Grass Routes Tour” that will make four stops across the state to promote cannabis legalization.
Democratic Senate Minority Leader Melissa Agard, who is leading the fight for full legalization, cast doubt on Vos’ intentions.
“We’ve seen this story before — but actions speak louder than words,” Agard said in a statement. “Session after session, the Speaker has come forward with empty promises but no tangible steps toward any form of legal cannabis Wisconsin.”
Democratic Gov. Tony Evers proposed full legalization of marijuana in his state budget, an idea that Republicans vowed to reject. Last April 20, a Republican-authored bill creating a medical marijuana program received a public hearing, the first time any such bill made it that far in the GOP-controlled Legislature.
However, the bill died in committee.
Senate Republicans have been less open to pot legalization than those in the Assembly. But in January, Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu said a bill to create a medical marijuana program could pass this legislative session — as long as regulations are put forward to ensure it’s for those in serious pain.
Sixty-four percent of Wisconsinites support legalizing marijuana for any use, according to October polling by the Marquette University Law School. More than 80% of Wisconsinites supported the idea of a medical marijuana program, according to 2019 polling. | 2023-04-20T23:11:06+00:00 | kfor.com | https://kfor.com/news/health/ap-health/wisconsin-gop-lawmakers-working-on-medical-pot-legalization/ |
PENNSYLVANIA AND MISSOURI (WHTM) — The Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs are competing in the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb 12. Whichever team brings home the win will also bring home some famous regional foods.
The pressure is on for both teams, as a friendly wager placed between the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry and the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry will give the winning state famous regional foods and brews from the opposing state.
If the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, the PA Chamber will treat the Missouri Chamber to Yuengling beer, Hershey’s Chocolate, Peeps marshallow candies, and Giorgi mushrooms. If the Eagles win, the Missouri Chamber will treat the PA Chamber to Budweiser beer, Jack Stack’s barbeque, Burger’s Smokehouse ham and sausages, and Cherry Mash candies.
“Fly Eagles Fly,” Bernstein said. “The Eagles have been a powerhouse all season on both sides of the ball, with Jalen Hurts leading our air and ground game supported by the best offensive line in football and future Hall of Fame center – and our favorite Kelce brother— Jason Kelce, combined with our lock-down defense and exciting special teams. Philly has a top tier organization with great leadership top-to-bottom, and one of the passionate fan bases in sports. I have every confidence that the Eagles are bringing the Lombardi trophy back to the City of Brotherly Love. We can’t wait to taste that Kansas City barbeque!”
“I never miss a chance to offer our Missouri products to anyone, but this time Pennsylvania is out of luck,” Mehan said. “One of the finest assets we ever received from Pennsylvania is Coach Andy Reid, and we are confident that he will lead Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the world-class Kansas City Chiefs team to another Super Bowl Championship! We look forward to enjoying some Philadelphia treats!”
“But, one thing we both agree on, is that Donna Kelce, mother of the Kelce brothers, should stand with her two sons Jason and Travis during the coin toss to get this game started,” Bernstein added.
Super Bowl LVII is set to kick off at State Farm Stadium at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 12. | 2023-02-07T17:15:38+00:00 | ksn.com | https://www.ksn.com/sports/the-big-game/pennsylvania-and-missouri-chambers-to-swap-famous-home-state-brews-and-foods-in-super-bowl-lvii-wager/ |
Three Indoor Theme Parks Join Growing Portfolio of Family Entertainment Centers
DENVER, July 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Five Star Parks & Attractions, a portfolio company of Fruition Partners, has completed the acquisition of three locations of Malibu Jack's Indoor Theme Parks in the cities of Lexington, Louisville, and Ashland, Kentucky. This brings Five Star's holdings to 16 family entertainment centers (FEC's)* in eight states with one new Malibu Jack's location expected to open in September 2022.
Five Star continues to seek out FEC partners that are already employing creative practices within the industry and have a desire to grow the expertise and financial backing offered by Five Star's leadership team. Malibu Jack's founders and leadership team will remain actively involved developing and opening additional Malibu Jack's parks on behalf of Five Star.
Five Star was drawn to Malibu Jack's because of the company's innovative approach to creating "indoor theme parks" by transforming vacant buildings into entertainment spaces rather than building new venues from the ground up.
"Since our inception, Five Star Parks & Attractions has been focused on finding partners who have developed creative ways to really make a difference in our industry," said John Dunlap, Five Star's CEO. "With Malibu Jack's team, we can deliver on a promise of year-round family fun but also to repurpose existing buildings and make positive impacts on their communities. We look forward to collaborating with them to see what we can do to make Malibu Jack's a household name from coast to coast."
"Malibu Jack's adds another compelling growth channel for Five Star Parks & Attractions as we continue to develop new locations across the country. Five Star has the leadership team, systems and processes to continue expanding with both newly developed locations as well as partnerships with leading FEC operators throughout the US," said Jay Coughlon, Managing Partner of Fruition Partners.
Other Five Star locations include all three locations of The Track Family Fun Parks in Branson, Missouri; two locations of Dubby's Attractions in Branson and three in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee; and all five locations of Celebration Station, in the prime suburban locations of Clearwater, Florida; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Greensboro, North Carolina; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and Mesquite, Texas.
About Malibu Jack's
Malibu Jack's operates massive indoor theme parks with attractions and games for guests of all ages. Annually, nearly 1 million guests experience go-karts, miniature golf, bowling, thrill rides, kid's zones, virtual reality attractions, arcade games and more. Malibu Jack's locations offer space for large corporate events, field trips, birthday parties and holiday events.
About Five Star Parks & Attractions
Five Star Parks & Attractions is a platform created to partner with and invest in leading family entertainment centers (FEC's), instituting positive changes aimed at creating superior entertainment experiences for families. Properties partnering with Five Star benefit from the passion and expertise of leaders who have spent their careers in the amusement and hospitality industries, and from the financial backing necessary to create improved guest experiences (e.g. new attractions, enhanced food & beverage, etc.) and long-term success. As part of its ongoing growth strategy, Five Star is interested in hearing from existing FEC's that may be interested in partnering with one of the largest FECs in the US.

Conducted by OnePoll, a new survey highlights homeowners are spending more time at home now than two years ago – and using that time to make various improvements
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Nov. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- TruGreen, the largest provider of lawn services in the U.S., has announced the results of a new survey conducted in collaboration with OnePoll to understand how American homeowners value their time and investment towards home improvement and upgrade efforts.
"Home is a place to spend quality time with friends and family. Despite less than ideal economic conditions due to inflation and other external factors, 69% of Americans are spending more time at home than two years ago," said Johanna Metz, Vice President of Marketing at TruGreen "With time on their hands, it's become an even greater priority for homeowners to upgrade their spaces, with the majority prioritizing improving their yards and lawns. Looking ahead to the return of warmer weather, TruGreen has the expert lawn maintenance knowledge to save homeowners significant time so they can enjoy creating long-lasting memories."
Key findings of the survey include:
- Homeowners are upgrading their homes. Over the last year, respondents have prioritized improving their yards and lawns (36%), kitchens (30%) and living rooms (29%).
- Time is valuable. While many will attempt to tackle home projects on their own, the average respondent will give up a DIY project and call a professional after two attempts, capping their DIY efforts at about six hours.
- Homeowners trust the professionals. Research shows that 68% of respondents hire professionals because they know what they're doing. Furthermore, respondents also don't have the equipment or materials (35%) or the time (23%) to complete certain tasks.
- Home maintenance costs vary by room. According to the survey, the kitchen was found to be the costliest room in the house, with the average respondent spending more than $1,100 upgrading and maintaining it. On the other hand, respondents invest more time into their lawn – with the average respondent spending about four hours per month maintaining it, and an average of $880 per year on lawn maintenance.
- Lawns are a top investment for homeowners. Americans value their lawns. On average, respondents spend an average of 50 hours per year maintaining their lawns, and they'd rather spend that time with their family and friends (49%), outdoors (36%), or reading a book (33%).
This random double-opt-in survey of 2,000 Americans with a yard/lawn was commissioned by TruGreen between October 21 and October 27, 2022. It was conducted by market research company OnePoll, whose team members are members of the Market Research Society and have corporate membership to the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) and the European Society for Opinion and Marketing Research (ESOMAR).

Pufferfish Tiki Bar To Open Permanently at Hotel Metro
Grand opening for rooftop bar is May 5.
Pufferfish, a traveling tiki concept created by cocktail aficionado JC Cunningham, has found a permanent home atop Hotel Metro, in East Town.
The tiki bar got its start amid the COVID-19 pandemic, operating as a pop-up at Lost Whale as a way to keep the bar afloat and support staff on the payroll.
After 18 months — including enduring a full Wisconsin winter — Pufferfish left its outdoor patio space and embarked on a series of pop-ups throughout the city, the last of which took place in June 2022 at Hotel Metro, 411 E. Mason St.
More than 400 guests descended upon the bar during its initial appearance at the hotel, forming a line that extended out the door and down two flights of stairs for five hours straight.
The overwhelming enthusiasm from both patrons and hotel staff were the deciding factors for Cunningham, he said.
“We knew immediately that we had found our home.”
The one-day pop-up turned into a summer residency, which has now evolved into a permanent partnership with the hotel.
At its May 5 grand opening, the tiki bar will unveil its newly-renovated rooftop space, along with a lineup of classic tropical cocktails and a concise food menu created in partnership with chef Aaron Miles.
Renovations to the bar began in late December. Designed by Three Sixty Milwaukee, the rooftop space provides a laid-back, beachy counterpart to the art moderne-style hotel.
“It’s a throwback to a time forgotten, where the drinks flow easy and time stops,” said Ian Starkey, general manager of Pufferfish.
The finished bar features two indoor spaces which will run year-round, as well as two outdoor decks that overlook the city and run seasonally. A private room, called The Fish Tank, can be reserved for private events.
Pufferfish will also host a monthly class, Flight School, for those who are interested in the intricacies of cocktail making to learn more about spirits and mixology.
Cunningham himself is well-versed in the art, especially when it comes to tiki drinks; his world travels and patronage at tiki bars all over the world have made him an authority.
The menu at Pufferfish will feature a variety of cocktails that riff on classic tiki drinks, incorporating fresh flavor profiles and local ingredients, and toning down the cloying sweetness of the fruit-forward drinks.
Guests who are familiar with the bar can expect to see old favorites including the Frozen Pain Killer, which features Plantation O.F.T.D. dark rum, Bounty Dark rum, pineapple, tangerine, cream of coconut and a dash of nutmeg.
“The Bar was birthed out of necessity in a real wild time as an excuse to get our whole staff rehired,” Cunningham said. “I’m thankful and grateful for everyone who has supported us over the years, and can’t wait to show them what this thing can look like as a fully functioning bar.”
Starting May 5, Pufferfish will be open Wednesday through Thursday from 5 p.m. to midnight and Friday through Saturday from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m.

John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival acquires rights to his own music after 50 years
(Gray News) – Legendary singer-songwriter and founder of Creedence Clearwater Revival, John Fogerty, has made the move to acquire the rights to his songs.
“As of this January, I own my own songs again. This is something I thought would never be possible,” Fogerty said in a tweet. “After 50 years, I am finally reunited with my songs.”
Fogerty now has a say in where and how his songs are used moving forward, a personal mission he’s had for decades.
“Up until this year, that is something I have never been able to do,” he explained.
Fogerty is the composer of many iconic songs such as “Proud Mary,” “Down on the Corner,” “Fortunate Son,” “Bad Moon Rising,” and “Have You Ever Seen the Rain.”
The copyrights to Fogerty’s classic songs were the property of Saul Zaentz of Fantasy Records for years, before selling the label and its publishing portfolio to the former Concord Music Group in 1995.
Fogerty said in a news release he is looking forward to touring and is excited for new ideas with a renewed interest in his music.

Tom Brady retires from the NFL, 1 year after retiring from the NFL
It’s not quite Groundhog Day — but yes, you’ve heard all this before. Quarterback Tom Brady is retiring from the NFL — for real this time, he said in a video posted to social media on Wednesday morning.
Brady, 45, released the message on Feb. 1, the same date he announced his retirement from the NFL in 2022.
“I’m retiring. For good,” Brady said in his new farewell message. He thanked his fans — and acknowledged the uproar over earlier announcements regarding his plans.
“I won’t be long-winded,” Brady said. “You only get one super-emotional retirement essay, and I used mine up last year.”
Addressing his family, friends, teammates and competitors, Brady added, “Thank you guys for allowing me to live my absolute dream. I wouldn’t change a thing.”
In a superlative 23-year career with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brady racked up a raft of elite records. He owns the most Super Bowl wins (7), as well as most passing touchdowns (649) and passing yards (89,214).
Last year’s retirement essentially amounted to Brady giving up pro football for Lent, as he un-retired himself after 40 days. But Brady’s latest announcement comes after a regular season in which his Buccaneers finished with an 8-9 record. Tampa Bay still won the NFC South division, but the team was summarily dismissed by the Dallas Cowboys in the wild card round.
If Brady was looking for signs that the game might finally be passing him by, he surely noticed that in this year’s playoffs, the four quarterbacks who led their teams to the NFL’s conference championships are all in their 20s: Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes (27); Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow (26); Philadelphia’s Jalen Hurts (24) and San Francisco’s Brock Purdy (23).
Brady took his winning ways with him when he left New England for Tampa Bay after 20 seasons, bringing home a Super Bowl title in his first year with the Buccaneers. Last season, Tampa Bay notched an impressive regular-season record but was pipped by the Los Angeles Rams on a late field goal, on the Rams’ way to the title. | 2023-02-01T16:21:04+00:00 | whyy.org | https://whyy.org/npr_story_post/tom-brady-retirement/ |
WASHINGTON, April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The glowmedia project, a nonprofit that educates teens, their families, and teachers about mental health issues, today announces an $86,000 grant from The deNovo Initiative for future projects including Into the Light, a short film addressing suicide prevention and postvention for teens in collaboration with James Monroe High School, North Hills, CA, and Unimaginable, a documentary film that follows several teens through their mental health journey during Covid-19. Both films are directed and produced by Angela Cohen of Charleybear Productions. Additional funds will be used to develop and pitch new projects.
According to this week's New York Times article, 13% of adolescents reported having a major depressive episode in 2019, a 60% increase from 2007. And for people ages 10-24, previously stable suicide rates leaped nearly 60% by 2018, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"This is why the glowmedia project's work is vital," says Trish Glowacki, founder of the glowmedia project. "Our nonprofit's work aims to reach teens through media they understand, in bite-size increments and on their level, without overreaching or preaching."
Dawn Bonder, CEO of The deNovo Initiative states, "The deNovo Initiative is excited to support the films and work of the glowmedia project. Our teens are living in an unprecedented time, navigating situations and pressures with which the adults in their lives have little to no experience. Glowmedia's films provide a 21st century communication tool to address mental health issues with this vulnerable population."
Last year, the glowmedia project and Charleybear Productions released a PSA to encourage teens to look to art as an outlet during high COVID-19 transmission periods.
To learn more, get involved, or receive free resources on teen mental health, visit the glowmedia project's website.
ABOUT THE GLOWMEDIA PROJECT
With over 1 million views of its films, the glowmedia project educates youth, their families, and educators in an effort to reduce stigma, correct misconceptions, and reinforce the reality that mental health affects everyone.
ABOUT THE DENOVO INITIATIVE
The deNovo Initiative is a private foundation that supports filmmakers who challenge our preconceptions and use their films as catalysts to overcome political polarization, racism, anti-immigrant anger, ageism, ableism, and cultural divisions.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Jordan Travis completed 16 of 26 passes for a career-high 321 yards and a touchdown as Florida State dominated Boston College 44-14 on Saturday.
Kentron Poitier went up to grab a 31-yard touchdown reception, the first score on his FSU career. Darion Williamson caught five passes for 98 yards, both of which are career highs.
Florida State’s defense didn’t allow BC (1-3, 0-2) to cross midfield in the first half. The Eagles punted four times and Phil Jurkovec was picked off twice, once each by Omarion Cooper and Greedy Vance. BC finished with seven punts.
BC scored its first points late in the third quarter, when Jurkovec connected with Alex Broome on a 5-yard TD reception.
TAKEAWAYS

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Rescue workers were searching for two missing people after an avalanche swept across ski trails in western Austria on Sunday, the dpa news agency reported.
Initially up to 10 people were feared missing based on video from a witness, but eight of those individuals had been identified and were no longer feared buried, dpa reported citing a spokesman of the rescue team.
About 200 rescue workers were searching the avalanche site near the town of Zuers.
The avalanche occurred at around 3 p.m. (1400 GMT) on the 2,700-meter (nearly 9,000-foot) high Trittkopf mountain between Zuers and Lech am Arlberg, and the cascading snow reached as far as nearby ski trails.
The avalanche followed days of snow in the high alpine region and unseasonably warm weather on Christmas Day. The local mountain rescue service had rated the avalanche danger as “high.”
Officials said one person could be recovered quickly. Searchlights were set up on the snow mass to continue the search after darkness fell, and dogs were being used to try to find the missing. | 2022-12-26T18:21:37+00:00 | kron4.com | https://www.kron4.com/news/world/ap-international/ap-austria-avalanche-leaves-up-to-10-missing-reports-say/ |
Future NASA Moonwalkers To Sport Sleeker Spacesuits
March 15, 2023 12:08PM CDT
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Moonwalking astronauts will have sleeker, more flexible spacesuits that come in different sizes when they step onto the lunar surface later this decade.
The spacesuits will be white like they were during NASA’s Apollo program more than a half-century ago to reflect heat and keep future moonwalkers cool.
The company behind the next-generation spacesuits said Wednesday the design is proprietary.
NASA awarded Axiom Space a $228.5 million contract to provide the moonsuits.
The space agency is targeting late 2025 at the earliest to land two astronauts on the moon’s south pole. | 2023-03-16T04:01:54+00:00 | wlip.com | https://www.wlip.com/future-nasa-moonwalkers-to-sport-sleeker-spacesuits/ |

AL KHOR, Qatar (AP) — Spain coach Luis Enrique said it was a “special day” after his team's 1-1 draw with Germany at the World Cup on Sunday.
But it had nothing to do with soccer.
Luis Enrique said Sunday would have been the 13th birthday of his daughter, Xana Martínez, who died three years ago of a rare form of bone cancer.
“It was a special day for me and my family," Luis Enrique said. “Obviously we don’t have our daughter with us physically anymore, but she is still present every day. We remember her a lot, we laugh and think about how she would act in each situation that we experience.”
Luis Enrique had earlier posted a video on Instagram in which he said that “not only we play against Germany today, but Xanita would have turned 13.” He wished her “a good day" wherever she was right now.
“This is how life works,” he said after the match. “It’s not only about beautiful things and finding happiness, it's about knowing how to manage these moments.”
The 52-year-old Luis Enrique, a former Barcelona player and coach, is participating in his first World Cup as Spain’s manager. He left the national team after finding out about his daughter’s cancer, returning some time later.
Spain will advance to the round of 16 at the World Cup in Qatar if it avoids defeat against Japan in its final group-stage match on Thursday.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)Terry Rozier scored 25 points, Kelly Oubre Jr. added 22 and the Charlotte Hornets held off a furious fourth-quarter rally by Bradley Beal and the Wizards to hand Washington its fifth loss in the last six games, 117-116 on Friday night.
P.J. Washington had 21 points and Mason Plumlee added 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Hornets, who won despite getting outscored 28-10 in the fourth quarter and failing to score in the final 3:45.
”I don’t know if I’ve seen a game where one team gets outscored 28-10 in the fourth quarter and still wins by one,” Hornets coach Steve Clifford said. ”I’d say that’s not something, as crazy as our league is, that happens very often.”
Washington trailed by 22 in the second half, but went with a bigger lineup which turned the game as the Wizards began dominating the offensive glass and getting second and third chances.
Beal was a big part of the comeback with 33 points, but the three-time All-Star turned the ball over twice and missed an open jumper in the final minute with Washington trailing by one. The Wizards came up empty on their final four possessions, costing them the game.
”I turned the ball over twice, which can’t happen,” Beal said. ”I had a chance to win the game at the end and it didn’t go down.”
Beal said after the game he’s already put the loss behind him.
”I create amnesia pretty good, and rapidly, so this is behind me,” Beal said. ”I wish I could have had it, we all do. But we competed and at the end day it’s tough to climb out of those holes.”
The Hornets put up a season-high 74 points in the first half, taking a 15-point lead into the locker room behind 16 points from Oubre and 15 from Rozier while shooting 52.9% from the field.
Charlotte stretched its lead to 22 in the third quarter but the Wizards mounted a huge fourth-quarter comeback to cut the lead to three with 4 minutes left when Beal knocked down a short pull-up jumper in the lane.
Beal later drove the lane for a reverse layup to trim the lead to one.
Trailing by one, the Wizards had chances on four separate possessions to take the lead in the final minute but failed to do so.
Porzingis missed an open jumper and Beal dribbled the ball off his leg on back-to-back possessions. Then Beal got stripped by Oubre with 35 seconds left.
Even with those mistakes, the Wizards still had a chance to win.
After a Hornets miss, Beal again tried to put the Wizards on top but missed an a 18-foot jumper. Washington corralled the rebound to seal the game with 0.2 seconds left, drawing a collective sigh of relief from the home crowd.
”I think it’s headed in the right direction and we’re pretty happy,” Washington said of Charlotte’s third win in the last four games.
Kristaps Porzingis had 21 points and 11 rebounds for the Wizards. Corey Kispert added 14 points off the bench.
LIMITING KUZMA
Kyle Kuzma finished with 14 points for Washington. Kuzma had given the Hornets fits in the previous two meetings this season, scoring 28 points in a 108-100 road win and 20 points in a 106-102 home victory.
TIP-INS
Wizards: Shot 26 of 35 from the foul line. … Outrebounded Charlotte 56-45.
Hornets: PG LaMelo Ball has missed 19 of 22 games this season due to ankle sprains. … Plumlee, shooting left handed, was 7 of 9 from the foul line.
UP NEXT
Wizards: Host Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night.
Hornets: Host Milwaukee on Saturday night.

Flu season is approaching. Many health experts are predicting the 2022-2023 flu season will be a severe one, due to several factors, including lower immunity levels and a relaxing of COVID-19 restrictions. As we head into the winter months, it's important to practice self-care as a means to staying healthy. Key preventative measures like washing your hands often and covering your nose and mouth while coughing and sneezing can be extremely helpful in preventing the spread of germs. In addition, over-the-counter antiviral drugs can go a long way towards preventing and reducing the impact of viral illnesses. Dr. Ian Smith talks about over-the-counter remedies.

‘It gives a whole other perspective to art’: 12-year-old helps build ‘Stranger Things’ field mural
ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, Ind. (WNDU/Gray News) - A field artist has fans of the hit Netflix show “Stranger Things” on the edge of their seats over his latest crop creation.
But as Stan Herd says, it could not have come without the help of a 12-year-old girl.
“The coolest part about it is we bring local talent in,” Herd said.
Today, the face of one of the show’s cast members sits on a top secret cornfield in St. Joseph County, Indiana.
Herd told WNDU he couldn’t reveal the exact location of the mural because it could potentially draw thousands of fans to the town, and they couldn’t handle that.
The field art that has millions of fans on their feet is a mural depicting one of Season 4′s heroes, Eddie Munson.
“The setup of the show is in this state, so when they mentioned Indiana, I said South Bend because I know people here, or at least I know all the good restaurants to go to,” Herd said.
While it took 10 days to create, it could not have been done without the help from Herd’s team, including his son Evan Herd and art director Kyra Roesle.
“My job is to come out here and to assess the colors, the formations, what kind of materials we need, and how we are going to do it,” Roesle said.
Though, not to be forgotten is 12-year-old Maci Schultz, who Roesle said volunteered dozens of hours to help create the mural that has many on the edge of their seats.
“We got locals like Maci coming out, 12 years old and she works harder than any other boys that were out here and she is kicking butt,” Roesle said. “But what is cool is learning about her, you know.”
For Schultz, she said she is just thankful to be a part of something so unique, special yet strange just like her favorite Netflix show.
“Honestly, it feels amazing like knowing these people. I never knew this was a thing, and now I know it gives a whole other perspective to art,” Maci said.
Seeing the finished product has always been Herd’s favorite part of crop art, but he said seeing locals like Maci flourish in the field is the most rewarding.
“It’s really fun to get local people to come out and kind of connect with the community in that way and they’re a part of the larger story as it unfolds,” Herd said. “We hope they get their agent and move on to Hollywood.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The discovery this week of violently antisemitic graffiti along a popular Maryland walking trail is just the latest in a rising tide of anti-Jewish vandalism and activity dating back a decade, according to local Jewish leaders.
On Monday, graffiti was found along the Bethesda Trolley Trail outside Washington, D.C., depicting a swastika and the statement, “No mercy for the Jews,” along with several crude hangman-style drawings of figures hanging from a gallows. Similar graffiti was found along the same trail in August.
“This is not anything new,” said Meredith Weisel, local regional director for the Anti-Defamation League.
While these issues have become front-page news in recent months, thanks to public controversies involving basketball star Kyrie Irving and the rapper formerly known as Kayne West, Jewish leaders said the frequency of the antisemitic activity long predates those scandals.
“People want a scapegoat. They want a population they can point to and say ‘They caused my problems,’ ” said Gil Preuss, CEO of the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington.
Recent years have witnessed a string of incidents from graffiti and distribution of antisemitic flyers to white supremacist rallies. While incidents in the District of Columbia remain relatively rare, a group calling itself the Goyim Defense League has distributed anti-Jewish flyers and pamphlets multiple times this year in Maryland and Virginia, according to the ADL’s online incident tracker.
Weisel partially attributed the trend to an overall societal rise in extremism and racial and religious intolerance that coincides with but also precedes the rise of former President Donald Trump. In August 2017, white supremacists staged an open rally in Charlottesville near the University of Virginia; one person was killed when a man drove his car into a group of counter-protestors.
“These extremist views have become part of everyday life. It has been normalized now,” Weisel said. “It may start with the Jewish community, but it never ends with the Jewish community.”
Weisel pointed out that the most recent Bethesda graffiti also included the number “1488,” a numeric symbol that carries deep meaning within white supremacist circles. That, she said, shows that the vandal wasn’t just an attention-seeker going for shock value, but someone possessing a familiarity with white supremacist ideas and culture.
In January of this year, multiple swastikas were found spray painted on the exterior walls of Union Station in D.C. Police later arrested a homeless man living in a tent encampment outside the station, claiming he had a history of mental health issues.
Even so, Preuss, of the Jewish Federation, said the incident speaks to how deeply such images and sentiments have penetrated mainstream society.
“The hate and the swastikas still come from somewhere,” he said. “That person was expressing and attitude and a context that they had come in contact with.” | 2022-11-18T13:14:27+00:00 | wwlp.com | https://www.wwlp.com/news/ap-national-news/ap-antisemitic-graffiti-in-dc-suburb-seen-as-part-of-a-trend/ |
NEW YORK (AP) — A man was sentenced to 18 months in prison Friday after pleading guilty to a federal hate crime conspiracy charge in a series of antisemitic assaults in New York City.
Saadah Masoud, 29, of Staten Island was arrested in June after authorities said he punched and dragged a counterprotester, who was draped in an Israeli flag, at a pro-Palestinian demonstration in April.
Prosecutors said he also admitted to attacking a person wearing a Star of David necklace in May 2021 and a man wearing a yarmulke, a Jewish skullcap, a month later.
Masoud pleaded guilty in November and was sentenced by Judge Denise Cote. U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in a release that the prosecution demonstrates that “hate-fueled violence will not be tolerated.”
A message seeking comment was sent to Masoud's attorney. | 2023-03-04T00:41:11+00:00 | lmtonline.com | https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/man-gets-18-months-in-prison-for-antisemitic-17819134.php |
The new solutions will support pharma manufacturers navigating new state requirements on drug reporting
COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Two Labs, an industry-leading pharma services company, is officially unveiling its State Drug Price Transparency (DPT) managed service offerings to help emerging pharmaceutical manufacturers navigate the evolving regulatory landscape imposed by each state's own independent reporting requirements. After providing consultation on DPT to over 30 clients since 2021, Two Labs is now formally rolling out the new outsourced managed service offering to continue supporting clients with meeting requirement needs.
Each state has imposed its own independent reporting requirements on manufacturers, and the clock on reporting begins the day the PDUFA date is received from the FDA. State Drug Price Transparency has ongoing commercialized product specifications, regardless if any pricing action is taken on the products. Additionally, given the complexity, oftentimes, even modest price increases can trigger additional reporting. And, reporting obligations continue through the end of a product's lifecycle.
"As pharmaceutical regulatory requirements for disclosing drug prices continue to evolve on a state-by-state basis, proactively monitoring the landscape and supporting clients in this space is crucial," said Howard Miller, CEO of Two Labs. "Our team's deep expertise makes us poised to lead emerging pharmaceutical manufacturers through the journey of price reporting obligations and how to remain compliant as they distribute their products nationwide."
This new service is an expansion of Two Labs' established commercialization support. Two Labs' DPT team provides clients with a dedicated account manager and subject matter experts that can address state-specific concerns; in-house regulatory analysis and proactive monitoring of the ever-changing regulatory landscape, including changes to current requirements for manufacturers; and key documentation that includes reports submitted to the states and evidence of state receipt of submission.
"Our team already has a strong pulse on the landscape and with states ramping up on enforcement activity, we're able to provide a turnkey solution to partners navigating new requirements," said Andy Parks, Vice President of Compliance at Two Labs. "Working with a wide range of emerging drug manufacturers, we have a proven track record and extensive experience supporting partners with ongoing compliance needs."

Eric Dorrien's Nov. 8 reelection as Midland County Commissioner for District 6 was upheld in a recount Monday at the Homer Township Public Safety and Fire Training Facility on Homer Road.
Dorrien's opponent, Sarah Schulz, requested a recount after Dorrien, a Republican, received 3,172 votes and Schulz, a Democrat, received 3,167 votes on Nov. 8.
The recount, which was certified by the Midland County Board of Canvassers, yielded 3,176 votes for Dorrien and 3,167 votes for Schulz. Votes were recounted from Precincts 13, 14, 15, 18 and 19, both in-person votes and absentee votes.
Dorrien and Schulz shook hands when the recount was completed at about 1:25 p.m. Counting began at 9 a.m.
Dorrien, who will start his sixth two-year term in January, praised County Clerk Ann Manary and Deputy County Clerk John Keefer for how they conducted the recount.
"I'm very impressed with the recount and how it was conducted. That's a testament to Ann Manary and John Keefer," Dorrien said.
He also said he is relieved that the recount is over.
"I'm glad to be returning as 6th District Commissioner," Dorrien said.
The 6th District includes the city of Midland area that is east of Eastman, from the Midland Mall area in the north down to North Saginaw/Wheeler in the south. It also includes the area east of Swede, north of East Ashman and west of Waldo.
"I obviously didn't win the recount, and that wasn't what I was hoping for," Schulz said. "But I am glad to have seen the full democratic process play out, and I really appreciate everyone who gave their time in the recount process, especially Ann Manary and her team.
"The vote count was very accurate, and these types of recounts only prove that our election process is safe and secure - when you have only four votes different after you hand-count more than 6,000 votes total," Schulz continued.
"I appreciate Commissioner Dorrien and the work that he does for our community," she added.
Manary said conducting a recount is "a lot of work," but it's worth it to demonstrate to the public that the counting of votes in Midland County is done accurately.
"We enjoy doing theses (recounts) because we get people to recognize that the process we sue in Midland and across the state works," Manary said. "We want people to see that the process works."
Another recount will take place this Wednesday at the same Homer Township building. That will be for the voting on Michigan Proposal 3 about reproductive rights, which was approved in statewide voting on Nov. 8. The Homer Township building will serve as a regional hub, Manary said, for five counties: Midland, Isabella, Bay, Clare and Iosco.
The Proposal 3 recount in Midland County will only be done for Jerome Township Precinct 1 and Larkin Township Precincts 1 and 2.
Almost 50 of Michigan's 83 counties will be recounted for Proposal 3. | 2022-12-06T00:00:18+00:00 | ourmidland.com | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Recount-upholds-Dorrien-s-reelection-as-Midland-17632715.php |
Five people rescued after being trapped in underground cavern
PEACH SPRINGS, Ariz. (KNXV) - What started as a 45-minute tour at Grand Canyon Caverns for the family of eight on Sunday afternoon turned chaotic when the elevator they went down in broke.
The family said staff urged them to walk up 21 flights of stairs to get out, but the stairs are narrow and steep, like a fire escape.
“There was no protection from anybody slipping and falling,” Sherry Jimenez said.
The cavern has a suite at the bottom, an area that the family was offered to stay in, but Sherry Jimenez’s daughter-in-law, Felicia Jimenez, had her two babies with her and had run out of diapers and formula.
Her husband, Michael Jimenez, went up and called for help after noticing no work was being done on the elevator.
Eventually, Peach Springs Fire Department came to rescue them.
“I asked the chief right when he got down there. I said immediately, ‘I need to ask you this question. Did you get a call earlier and did you guys say that you refused?’ and he was like, ‘I’ve been working all day since this morning and we have received no phone call from them about anything,’” Felicia Jimenez said.
The stairs were not an option because several family members have various disabilities and health conditions.
Before going on the tour, they said they made sure that it was handicapped accessible.
“I’m super frustrated because it’s 2022, almost 2023, and I think handicap accessible should definitely be advanced by now,” Felicia Jimenez said.
The family said after being trapped for more than 26 hours, they will not be going down into a cavern ever again.

The U.S. Coast Guard is searching for a snorkeler who may have been attacked by a shark off the coast of Hawaii.
Officials said a husband and wife were snorkeling about 50 yards from the shore on Thursday. The man reportedly told authorities that he fought off a shark and swam to shore, but his wife didn't make it.
"Maui tends to have a lot of shark activity, particularly during pupping season," said Dan Dennison of the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources. "I don't know if it is pupping season right now, but Maui tends to have the most shark activity of any of the main Hawaiian islands."
A snorkel, masks and parts of a bathing suit were reportedly found in the water.
Rescue and recovery crews have been searching by air and water for the woman. | 2022-12-09T19:06:04+00:00 | kivitv.com | https://www.kivitv.com/news/national/rescue-crews-in-hawaii-fear-snorkeler-may-have-been-attacked-by-shark |
SKOPJE, North Macedonia (AP) — North Macedonia’s government said it’s imposing emergency measures in the country’s capital, Skopje, and three other cities in order to protect people from severely high levels of air pollution.
No sports events will be staged on Sunday or on any day with high air pollution levels, and other outdoor activities will be curtailed. Starting Monday, construction work will be limited to a six-hour period, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The government has recommended companies excuse pregnant women and people over age 60 from work.
The government also said it would reduce the use of its official vehicles by half, and ordered the health and welfare ministries to provide shelter for homeless people and boost emergency services and home visits to people with chronic illnesses.
The measures were announced Saturday after days of lobbying by environmental groups asking the government to take action. The new rules coincided with an announcement by IQAir, a Swiss air quality technology company, ranking North Macedonia’s capital as the third-most polluted city in the world for Saturday after Kyrgyzstan capital Bishkek and Lahore, Pakistan. The levels of toxic PM10 and PM 2.5 particles in the air measured by IQAir in Skopje were about 28 times higher than the safety threshold established by the World Health Organization.
PM10 particles are particles smaller than 10 micrometers, or 10 one-millionths of a meter that are so-called coarse particles that can irritate the eyes, nose and throat. PM2.5 particles can lodge deeper into the lungs, enter the bloodstream and are considered more dangerous.
North Macedonia has been one of Europe’s most polluted countries for years. Health authorities estimate that more than 3,000 people in this country of just over 2 million die each year as a result of air pollution, which is mostly a result of the heavy use of household wood-burning stoves during cold winters, an aging car fleet and the practice in some areas of garbage disposal by incineration.
The recent spike in energy prices has further boosted wood-burning stove use. | 2022-12-25T22:52:28+00:00 | wdtn.com | https://www.wdtn.com/news/u-s-world/ap-international/ap-north-macedonia-takes-emergency-anti-pollution-steps/ |

SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVL), a leader in data infrastructure semiconductor solutions, today reported financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter and the full fiscal year, ended January 28, 2023.
Net revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 was $1.419 billion, above the midpoint of the Company's guidance provided on January 11, 2023. GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 was $(15) million, or $(0.02) per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 was $396 million, or $0.46 per diluted share. Cash flow from operations for the fourth quarter was $351.5 million.
Net revenue for fiscal 2023 was $5.920 billion. GAAP net loss for fiscal 2023 was $(164) million, or $(0.19) per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for fiscal 2023 was $1.822 billion, or $2.12 per diluted share.
"Marvell delivered record revenue of $5.92 billion in fiscal 2023, growing 33 percent year over year driven by strong growth from cloud, 5G, auto and enterprise networking. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, we achieved revenue of $1.419 billion, growing 6 percent year over year, above the midpoint of guidance, driven by better-than-forecasted results from our datacenter end market," said Matt Murphy, Marvell's President and CEO. "While inventory corrections and resulting changes in product mix are impacting our guidance for fiscal first quarter revenue and gross margin, we expect these headwinds to subside later in fiscal 2024, as inventory levels normalize, and Marvell-specific growth drivers accelerate."
First Quarter of Fiscal 2024 Financial Outlook
- Net revenue is expected to be $1.300 billion +/- 5%.
- GAAP gross margin is expected to be 45.1% +/- 1%.
- Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be approximately 60%.
- GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $687 million.
- Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $460 million.
- Basic weighted-average shares outstanding are expected to be 858 million.
- Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding are expected to be 863 million.
- GAAP diluted loss per share is expected to be $(0.17) +/- $0.05 per share.
- Non-GAAP diluted income per share is expected to be $0.29 +/- $0.05 per share.
GAAP diluted EPS is calculated using basic weighted average shares outstanding when there is a GAAP net loss, and calculated using diluted weighted average shares outstanding when there is a GAAP net income. Non-GAAP diluted EPS is calculated using diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
Conference Call
Marvell will conduct a conference call on Thursday, March 2, 2023 at 1:45 p.m. Pacific Time to discuss results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2023. Interested parties may join the conference call by dialing 1-888-317-6003 or 1-412-317-6061, passcode 4137481. The call will be webcast and can be accessed at the Marvell Investor Relations website at http://investor.marvell.com/. A replay of the call can be accessed by dialing 1-877-344-7529 or 1-412-317-0088, passcode 4079400 until Thursday, March 9, 2023.
Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of the inventory fair value adjustment associated with acquisitions, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition and divestiture-related costs, restructuring and other related charges (including, but not limited to, asset impairment charges, employee severance costs, and facilities related charges), resolution of legal matters, and certain expenses and benefits that are driven primarily by discrete events that management does not consider to be directly related to Marvell's core business. Although Marvell excludes the amortization of all acquired intangible assets from these non-GAAP financial measures, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase price accounting arising from acquisitions, and that such amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to Marvell's revenues earned during the periods presented and are expected to contribute to Marvell's future period revenues as well.
Marvell uses a non-GAAP tax rate to compute the non-GAAP tax provision. This non-GAAP tax rate is based on Marvell's estimated annual GAAP income tax forecast, adjusted to account for items excluded from Marvell's non-GAAP income, as well as the effects of significant non-recurring and period specific tax items which vary in size and frequency, and excludes tax deductions and benefits from acquired tax loss and credit carryforwards and changes in valuation allowance on acquired deferred tax assets. Marvell's non-GAAP tax rate is determined on an annual basis and may be adjusted during the year to take into account events that may materially affect the non-GAAP tax rate such as tax law changes; acquisitions; significant changes in Marvell's geographic mix of revenue and expenses; or changes to Marvell's corporate structure. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, a non-GAAP tax rate of 6.0% has been applied to the non-GAAP financial results.
Marvell believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to Marvell's financial condition and results of operations. While Marvell uses non-GAAP financial measures as a tool to enhance its understanding of certain aspects of its financial performance, Marvell does not consider these measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Consistent with this approach, Marvell believes that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures to the readers of its financial statements provides such readers with useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for GAAP financial measures, allows for greater transparency in the review of its financial and operational performance.
Externally, management believes that investors may find Marvell's non-GAAP financial measures useful in their assessment of Marvell's operating performance and the valuation of Marvell. Internally, Marvell's non-GAAP financial measures are used in the following areas:
- Management's evaluation of Marvell's operating performance;
- Management's establishment of internal operating budgets;
- Management's performance comparisons with internal forecasts and targeted business models; and
- Management's determination of the achievement and measurement of certain performance-based equity awards (adjustments may vary from award to award).
Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of Marvell's business as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Marvell's results as reported under GAAP. The exclusion of the above items from our GAAP financial metrics does not necessarily mean that these costs are unusual or infrequent.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Mushrooms have been one of the hottest crazes in Central Texas, especially with recent rain in the area. However, mushrooms can be very dangerous for your pet.
Meteorologist Sean Kelly spoke with veterinarian Dr. Sherry Hill about what you should do if your pet eats a mushroom. You can read that interview below or watch the video above to learn more.
SEAN KELLY, KXAN: Hey everyone, joining me today is Dr. Sherry Hill, Firehouse Animal Health Center, to talk about wild mushrooms and how toxic they can be for pets.
DR. SHERRY HILL, VETERINARIAN: Some of them are toxic to pets, and I think that’s what we worry about the most. The good news is the vast majority of them are not.
However, it’s still important for us to make sure to do our best to prevent our pets from eating them by either picking them up from the yard or keeping our pets on leash when we’re walking. So they don’t ingest those.
KELLY: Can you kind of eyeball then see, like visually one that may be toxic? And one that’s not?
DR. HILL: Oh, no, I wish we could. There’s actually an entire field of study specifically for that. So we’re not able to identify them very well, but we base most of what we do on how the pet responds.
KELLY: If they do eat a mushroom what should you do?
DR. HILL: Go ahead and give us a call. You can always bring the mushroom to us if you feel, and we might be able to find some information on it that is a toxic one, most likely is not a lot of pets will get some mild side effects like an upset stomach, vomiting and diarrhea.
We want to know about that, because we want to treat that and keep them comfortable and get through that. The majority of time the tests that we’re going to be doing are on the pet themselves, like bloodwork to see if there’s any changes in liver values, then we would have an idea of where we need to treat them.
Testing the mushroom is not something we can do in the animal hospital, but all of our treatments are going to be aimed at getting your pet through whatever signs they’re having.
KELLY: What would be some symptoms to look out for?
DR. HILL: Absolutely. The most common are going to be related to your gastrointestinal system. So vomiting or diarrhea. Those are kind of the mild signs that we would see the most often. The more severe signs, which are more rare, are going to be significant lethargy, significant vomiting, feeling very, very tired. | 2022-09-19T18:04:44+00:00 | everythinglubbock.com | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/latest/mushrooms-are-sprouting-across-central-texas-why-your-pet-shouldnt-eat-them/ |
It's finally summer, and with everything going on in the world right now, you could probably use a little escape. As many of us retreat to beaches and pools to catch a break from the heat, here are eight books from the summer edition of NPR's Books We Love that you can take with you.
The exact definition of a beachy read depends on who you ask. But hopefully, you'll find something that suits your tastes in our picks below — whether you're in the mood for some light romance, short fiction or a thriller.
I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston
Shara Wheeler kissed Chloe Green and then had the nerve to vanish. Thankfully, Shara has left behind a trail of pink-enveloped clues and a pair of whodunit high school boys whom she also kissed. The ragtag trio tear apart their small Alabama town in search of Shara – but what they find reveals just as much truth about themselves as it does Shara. This is a teenage Harriet the Spy – complete with romance, angst, rebellion and Taco Bell. In a year when LGBTQ youth and their families have faced intense political attacks, this book feels like a warm embrace.

The Swimmers by Julie Otsuka
In Julie Otsuka's new novel, The Swimmers, a ragtag group of regulars shows up every day to swim laps in a university pool. One day, a crack appears at the bottom near the drain, then another, reproducing in spiderlike clusters. When the pool is shut down for safety reasons, the daily rhythm of the swimmers' lives abruptly stops. The Swimmers is a slim, brilliant novel about the value and beauty of mundane routines that shape our days and identities. Jump in and soak up Otsuka's distinctive style, which has all the verve and playfulness of spoken-word poetry.

Book Lovers by Emily Henry
In someone else's rom-com, literary agent Nora Stephens is the villain — a city-slicker-workaholic the hero dumps for a small-town love. That script is flipped when Nora's sister drags her to Sunshine Falls, an idyllic, small town in North Carolina. Nora's vacation is off to a great start, until she runs into cold-hearted New York book editor Charlie Lastra, whose family owns the failing local bookshop. Their chemistry crackles as they try to outwit each other with taunts, teases and maybe flirts. Between laugh-out-loud exchanges about Bigfoot erotica, they consider what "happily ever after" looks like for two rom-com "villains."

All This Could Be Different by Sarah Thankam Mathews
If you've ever wanted to read a love letter to friendship, this is it.

From dating women to navigating financial anxiety to finding an unlikely group of friends, the novel explores the tenderness and troubles of Sneha's first few years of adulthood. Through exquisite observations, Sarah Thankam Mathews reflects on the gift of having people you can count on, who anchor you through new chapters.

The Old Woman with the Knife by Gu Byeong-mo, translated by Chi-Young Kim
The opening of The Old Woman with the Knife – 65-year-old Hornclaw hunts her mark in a subway car while riders avoid offering her a seat – sets its gripping, bone-dry tone. Originally titled Pagwa (bruised fruit), the novel is by turns a character study, a One Last Job thriller, and a dark comedy about the indignities of aging and work (her mom-and-pop assassin business is, like everything else around her, being gentrified). But some of its best moments make a poignant register of life's little stings; rarely has a peach forgotten in the kitchen been so keenly felt.
— Genevieve Valentine, author and book critic
The Novelist by Jordan Castro
Jordan Castro is a novelist, and also a supporting character in The Novelist, a novel about a would-be novelist trying to write a novel. Got it? Sure, Castro's fiction debut is as meta as it gets, but that's part of its immense charm. The narrator of the book, which takes place during one morning, is determined to work on his novel but keeps getting distracted by making tea, the Internet, and his need to go to the bathroom. Castro's book is odd – that's undebatable – but it's also sweet, funny and beautifully written.
— Michael Schaub, book critic
Mouth to Mouth by Antoine Wilson
When you save someone's life, do you become responsible for them? This is the question that propels Mouth to Mouth forward. Set in the moneyed art world of Los Angeles, a young man with a secret seeks his fortune by attaching himself to a wealthy but cruel and duplicitous dealer. It's a lean, existentialist drama, and capped with a satisfying twist ending.
— Anya Kamenetz, correspondent, NPR Ed
Present Tense Machine by Gunnhild Øyehaug, translated by Sophie Hughes
In Gunnhild Øyehaug's playful yet poignant novel, a mother misreads a word as her young daughter plays nearby – a mistake that splits the mother's world into two parallel universes, irrevocably erasing her from her daughter's life and vice-versa. From then on, mother and daughter continue to exist as thinkers and artists – but in their own worlds. Each woman's identity reflects the novel's central duality: To be a biological mother is to be divided by gestation and birth, yet to be a creator is to assume an eternal, genderless and indivisible presence. By rejecting the classical concept of tragedy, Øyehaug's modern Genesis story beautifully unifies life and art.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Legislation requiring North Carolina’s sheriffs to assist federal agents who are seeking a jail inmate whom they believe is in the country unlawfully neared final General Assembly approval Thursday with House backing.
The Senate bill is a response by Republicans unhappy with Democratic sheriffs in several urban counties who have stopped working closely with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to hold defendants. The Senate, which voted for the measure in March 2021, now must accept a small change made by the House before sending the measure to Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper. Friday is likely the last day of the General Assembly's primary work session this year.
The House's 65-47 party-line vote signals that Cooper is likely to veto that measure if it goes to his desk. It's only slightly different from a 2019 measure that Cooper vetoed and had solid support from legislative Democrats so it couldn't be overridden.
The bill would require sheriffs and other jail administrators to check whether any person charged with felony drug or violent crimes have ICE detainers seeking their custody. If a detainer is listed, deputies must take the inmate to a local magistrate or judge who will decide whether to issue an order holding them. The additional hold would give ICE agents 48 hours to pick up the inmate.
Bill supporters say the measure is about protecting public safety during a time of increase violence and criminal activity. But groups representing immigrants and the poor argue these demands counter the desires of voters who elected sheriffs with campaign platforms of easing aggressive postures against immigrants. They also say the requirements also would reduce goodwill with the population of recent immigrants to the country. | 2022-07-01T00:36:03+00:00 | ourmidland.com | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Veto-likely-again-ahead-for-bill-making-NC-17277939.php |
CHICAGO (WGN-TV) — One Chicago-area family has been frustrated after spending the past six months trying to secure tickets for seats they purchased via StubHub for next week’s Taylor Swift concert.
“They state: ‘Your order guarantees a ticket valid for entry in the event,’” Diana Finnegan told WGN-TV’s investigative team, reading off the confirmation email she received after purchasing four tickets last November.
When the electronic tickets didn’t arrive, Finnegan embarked on a six-month ordeal that included dozens of phone calls, emails, and messages to StubHub customer service.
“We’re here to make sure you get your tickets in time for the event,” StubHub reps wrote in multiple emails. “We will provide you all the help that you need to receive the tickets for the event.”
However, the fine print of StubHub’s “Fan Protect Guarantee” says the company promises to get buyers the tickets they ordered, comparable or better tickets, or a refund.
Finnegan said in early May, a customer service rep revealed StubHub typically only offers comparable tickets if they can be secured for up to 150% of the customer’s purchase price.
The sky-high prices of Swift tickets quickly ruled out that option but Finnegan said StubHub never told her. “There was no chance at any time throughout this entire process since November was I ever going to get comparable tickets.”
WGN contacted StubHub to ask why this family was strung along for so long. Shortly after, StubHub sent the Finnegan family tickets to Friday’s concert at Soldier Field.
“StubHub’s FanProtect Guarantee ensures that a ticket buyer will get in the door, and if any issue occurs, we’ll find an equivalent or better ticket, or provide a full refund, but our priority is always to get our customers in the door,” a StubHub spokesperson wrote in an email to WGN Investigates.
“In Ms. Finnegan’s case, we have provided upgraded replacement tickets, per our policy and hope she’ll enjoy the show.”
StubHub’s solution isn’t cheap for the company. A spokesperson said the Finnegans’ replacement tickets are valued at $13,592 – far more than the $1,270 they initially spent with StubHub.
Now this family of four — including daughters Lila, 16, and Betsy, 12 — is thrilled with the outcome. “StubHub transferred the tickets — we’re going to the show!” Diana Finnegan told her daughters in a video she recorded. | 2023-05-25T22:57:11+00:00 | ksn.com | https://www.ksn.com/entertainment/illinois-familys-taylor-swift-stubhub-ticket-trouble-finally-resolved/ |

Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Denver Nuggets
The Minnesota Timberwolves are just inside the postseason standings ― currently in a play-in game scenario and hoping to play spoiler to a top-seed team such as the Denver Nuggets. The Timberwolves have an extremely talented roster, from big men such as Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns, when healthy, to guards D’Angelo Russell and Anthony Edwards.
In the last matchup, Nikola Jokic recorded a triple-double. There is value in picking up a player prop for him to record another one as every matchup grows with importance in this stretch of the year.

WASHINGTON (AP) – A new report on mass attacks calls for communities to intervene early when they see warning signs of violence.
The report also encourages businesses to consider workplace violence prevention plans and highlights the connection between domestic violence, misogyny and mass attacks. The report comes from the U.S. Secret Service’s National Threat Assessment Center.
The center’s report analyzed 173 mass attacks carried out over a five-year period from January 2016 to December 2020 in public or semi-public places such as businesses, schools or churches. The U.S. is experiencing a particularly deadly start to the new year with 39 people dead in six mass killings. | 2023-01-25T21:49:35+00:00 | keloland.com | https://www.keloland.com/news/national-world-news/happening-way-too-often-report-delves-into-mass-attacks/ |
Before meeting Mike McDaniel, the smallest, funniest and most over-educated Miami Dolphins coach, you need to walk down a hallway. It’s in his great-grandmother’s home.
Family photos line its walls, dozens of smiling faces through the years at picnics or school events, the kids becoming adults as you walk the hallway, the years turning into generations. McDaniel passed these photos hundreds of times until one day when he was 5. He stopped then and studied them.
“Wow, this is odd,” he thought. “I look different than everyone else.”
That set off a chain of events in which his 5-year-old mind couldn’t answer the most fundamental of questions: Who am I? It did, however, explain why his father’s family used different combs — picks, they were called — compared to ones with more teeth in his mother’s family.
Soon, some of his white mother’s family refused to see him for part of his youth — “a hiatus,” as he calls it — until realizing, as he says, “I was light enough for them.” It was a similar, if contrasting story on his Black father’s side, exacerbated after his parents’ divorce when he was 3. Visits with his father decreased after that. By McDaniel’s high school years, they saw each other only a couple of times. He last saw his father while in college, two decades ago.
So McDaniel grew up with the self-awareness he wasn’t a cookie-cutter fit, even in his family. What’s more, he never felt the need to be the same, thanks to his mother’s encouragement and own strong mind.
“As opposed to making me feel inferior about being different, I thought, that, ‘OK, maybe I can be special,’ ” he said. “Not limiting myself to anything. Determining my own territory.”
He went through phases finding that territory. He joined the skater crowd in middle school with a bowl hair cut. He pierced his ears and grew his hair at Smoky Hill High School in Denver. He hung with the brain-iacs, considering he was one of them, taking advanced placement and International Baccalaureate classes. He also was a jock, an accomplished wide receiver on the football team — “a leader, someone people gravitated to,” as coach Dan Gallas remembers.
If McDaniel fit nowhere as a biracial, only-child, single-parented, money-challenged, smart and athletic kid, he discovered he fit everywhere, too. All his youth — all his life, in some form —became a walk down his great-grandmother’s hallway, realizing he was different and embracing that his path would be, too.
He had a who-am-I epiphany standing before his father’s family photos that day. His life is full of such moments, defining snapshots that, strung together, don’t just plot his path toward becoming the Miami Dolphins coach. They answer the question he sought since standing in that hallway at age 5: Who is Mike McDaniel?
***
The second defining moment came in college. McDaniel continued his model-of-one journey as the lone student from his Smoky Hill class of more than 700 to attend Yale. The kid from the Rocky Mountains went east to New Haven, Conn.
“I got smacked in the face and completely humbled,” he said.
Some Yale students had a proud family name. Many came from the developed culture of prep or boarding schools. Most had money. McDaniel had no name or cultured background and had such little money he said, “putting pepperoni on my pizza was a budgetary decision.”
A couple of constants carried him. One was realizing a repeating pattern of not being a stereotypical fit into any group.
“I was back to being the middle school nerd in the social hierarchy,” he said.
Back in middle school, he was a good friend to girls due to his social skills, without being popular with them in the manner he wanted. He figured out how to be popular by high school. His quirky sense of humor helped. His boyhood friend, Dan Soder, is a stand-up comedian and acts on shows like HBO’s “Billions.” Yale provided the, “next crash course,” as he said, in using his personality to be accepted by different groups.
His second constant was football. His admission to Yale was aided by his preferred walk-on status in football. Many such walk-ons got in the school and left the team when they didn’t play. McDaniel didn’t play his first three years. He played some as a senior receiver despite never catching a pass.
Teammates respected his drive — and his mind even more.
“From the first moment I met him, he understood schematics, techniques, opponents and playbooks and was incredibly technical on the field,” said Tony Reno, the current Yale football coach who became receivers coach in 2003 when McDaniel played there. “One of the things that struck me early on is he would spend endless hours working before and after practice with guys on the fundamentals like hand positions, foot placement, how to run the top of a route.”
As McDaniel remembers, his sense of self emerging, “I got my first taste of coaching there.”
***
The third defining moment came Dec. 30, 2008. McDaniel remembers exact dates that impacted his career, and he was fired by Houston Texans’ coach Gary Kubiak on this day. Kubiak remains a friend and mentor, saying, “Mike’s a highly intelligent, did a really good job and I hope our time together helped him.”
McDaniel was 23 when Kubiak hired him in 2006 due to his hard work, good mind and a chain of fortunate events. Upon leaving Yale, McDaniel intended to use his history degree toward a business job and asked Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan to write a recommendation.
McDaniel knew Shanahan from being a Broncos’ ball boy as a youth, a role that grew out of riding his bike starting at age 8 to watch the team’s summer practices at 7 a.m. He’d remain at the complex collecting players’ autographs until 7 p.m. One year he befriended a Broncos video official, whom he introduced to his mother. He soon became McDaniel’s stepfather. McDaniel, always at camp, became a ball boy for Shanahan’s teams.
Upon graduating from Yale, McDaniel received more than a recommendation from Shanahan. He was offered a coaching internship. McDaniel’s smarts and work ethic took over from there, performing grunt jobs others didn’t like, carving a niche for himself and soaking up coaching methods.
Kubiak, a former Denver coach and quarterback, hired McDaniel as an offensive assistant in 2006. McDaniel didn’t get an office, setting up in the corner of a meeting room. In the other corners: Robert Saleh, now the New York Jets coach; Matt LaFleur, now the Green Bay Packers coach; and Richard Hightower, the Chicago Bears’ special teams coach.
If the trading of young ideas helped McDaniel’s development, so did his responsibility under offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan: working with receiver Andre Johnson. Here, as always, McDaniel was different in a way that wasn’t lost on him: An unknown 23-year-old one year out of college coaching a rare 25-year-old talent whose first three years fell in the good-not-great category.
“My thought was, ‘How, in his mind, am I going to be a resource for him?’ " McDaniel said. “I knew I’d better be super-prepared for any meeting or conversation. That’s an asset. ‘I’m going to have to be good at my job.’ That’s what I wanted to do, anyhow.”
Shanahan constantly showed Johnson the manner Baltimore receiver Steve Smith impacted games. Johnson became upset at the constant comparison. That’s where McDaniel entered, explaining how the bigger and stronger Johnson could dominate if he honed similar ball skills of pass catching and running after the catch.
“He changed the manner he worked,” McDaniel said.
Johnson didn’t top 79 catches his first three seasons. He led the league with 103 his first year with Shanahan and McDaniel in 2006. After being injured in 2007, Johnson led the league with 115 catches and 1,575 yards in 2008.
By then, a different issue arose around McDaniel.
“I don’t know how Mike will describe it,” Kubiak said. “There was a situation where it was, ‘OK, time to grow up, straighten up a little bit.’ It’s something he went through as a young coach, trying to find a way, and I was hard on him.”
McDaniel remembers Kubiak would call him in the office like clockwork at 6 a.m. each day.
“I was young and going out at night,” he said. “I’d broke up with my girlfriend, and one or two times he called my desk at 6 and I wasn’t there.”
There was a feeling an NFL job came too quickly to McDaniel. He was just 25 after the 2008 season. McDaniel remembers Kubiak telling him he was fired and, “You’re young, you have an unbelievable future, but I think you need some perspective. I’m just hoping we can look back in five years and say this was the best thing to happen to you.”
McDaniel doesn’t disagree with Kubiak’s decision today. He also remembers leaving Houston’s Reliant Stadium with Kubiak’s world already a reality.
“I am going to make this the best thing to happen to me,” he told himself.
***
Feb. 15, 2011. This day was the next snapshot on McDaniel’s path. He was hired back to the NFL after a two-year hiatus as running back coach with the semi-pro Sacramento Mountain Lions. Former NFL coach Dennis Green was the Mountain Lions coach. Longtime University of Miami assistant Art Kehoe was the line coach.
“He was smart, that’s what I remember,” Kehoe said of McDaniel. “He went to school, where, at Yale, and was always trying inventive things. I didn’t know if some would work until you’d see them on the field.”
Blocking angles. Running schemes. His running back, Cory Ross, became the United Football League’s offensive player of the year with plays like taking a full-speed pitch as if going outside and running back inside at a rare angle.
“He worked his ass off chasing his dream,” Kehoe said.
When Mike Shanahan became coach in Washington in 2011, McDaniel came an offensive assistant. He also was reunited with Kyle Shanahan, the offensive coordinator who he would be with for most of the next decade.
“I was fortunate because I had a couple of coaches that empowered me,” McDaniel said.
He wasn’t sure of his role in Washington as Kyle Shanahan, future Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay and others dissected the passing game. McDaniel, seeing where he could help, offered to oversee the running game.
More than his new role was his new perspective. He became one of the first to the office each day, ready to answer any 6 a.m. phone call.
“The idea when I was out of the NFL, every day, moving forward, was when I was back in it I’d never forget and lose perspective of where I was,” he said. “I said that even on those days I didn’t feel like grinding through or felt I was miserable, I’d appreciate where I was.”
***
Jan. 4, 2016. This next moment on McDaniel’s journey was his first day of sobriety. His drinking became noticeable enough inside the Atlanta Falcons that he was confronted by other coaches and assistant general manager Scott Pioli.
“He and I had what I’ll call an intimate talk that led later to a tougher talk,” Pioli said. “I cared about him, and we talked about his responsibility to all of us. I give him a ton of credit. The thing I remember is how honest he was in that talk.”
“We had a tough conversation,” McDaniel said. “And when I came home from work I had another tough conversation with my wife.”
Alcohol, he felt, was the outlet to another issue: Depression.
“When you drink alcohol, you can escape your problems,” he said. “When you’re very fortunate, you can feel guilty about even having problems. Drinking is escaping from that. It would snowball for me. I’m kind of an extreme, all-in person. Moderation was not my deal.
“That’s something I think, really, I took a deep dive into myself on and forced myself to realize it’s OK to have problems and work through them. Don’t run from them. It’s OK if I love my life and have a bad day or something poorly affects me, and I directly address it. Then, voila, depression gone.”
One issue bothering McDaniel at the time was a worry he was being passed by. He was only 33. But LaFleur, who he helped train, was already an NFL offensive coordinator. McVay, who was three years younger than him, was a hot NFL commodity and a year from being named the Rams coach.
McDaniel remembers looking at his wife, Katie, as they talked on Jan. 4, 2016.
“I knew I was never going to short-change her or myself ever again,” he said. “It just clicked to me. If all things stay the same and I can get this figured out, they can’t say anything about me being a party guy or a drunk — then what can hold me back?”
He went for help to become sober with the idea, “If anyone can do it, I can do it.”
“It was liberating to take control,” he said. “It’s one of my favorite things. I’m very proud of that. It was the hard thing to do and the right thing to do.”
It also played into a developed philosophy.
“If I recognize something that’s hard, especially for a lot of people, that’s immediately an opportunity for me to separate myself,” he said. “Why spend time avoiding hard things? Find hard things that you need to push through for the journey and for satisfaction.”
***
Feb. 6, 2022. He can time-stamp this date at 2:46 p.m. That’s when he got the call to be the Dolphins head coach. He was the San Francisco 49ers’ offensive coordinator under Kyle Shanahan by that point after a few seasons as their run-game coordinator.
His schemes helped Pierre Garcon lead the league in catches and receiver Deebo Samuel become a dual threat as a running back. The 49ers’ run-game philosophy was, “the best in the NFL,” Hall of Fame coach Jimmy Johnson said. “Their blocking angles and running lanes have been better the last few years than anyone out there.”
Beyond the X’s and O’s, McDaniel came to understand his best asset. It’s his lifetime of being different. He can talk to anyone and relate to everyone. That’s important because he understands football plays don’t consist of X’s running or O’s blocking. People do that. He can relate to and win over players in a manner the one-time middle school nerd won over girls.
You can find NFL coaches who have some of his attributes: biracial, single-parented, alcoholic. He’s not, for instance, the first history major from the Ivy League to rise to an NFL coach — Hall of Fame coach Marv Levy was a history major at Harvard.
But the full, 5-foot-8 package from biracial background to quirky sense of humor is something the NFL hasn’t seen. He knows his size and scope doesn’t match people’s thoughts of an NFL coach. From offensive linemen to media, he sees their understated first impression of him and is both amused and motivated by now.
“I like having to earn people’s trust and respect, of not being entitled to any sort of legitimacy,” he said. “It’s the same with hearing, ‘Can Mike McDaniel lead men?’ I would’ve expected that. I have to earn it.”
His general manager in Atlanta, Nicholas Dimitroff, who had a few quirks of his own, said that McDaniel “beats to a different drum in the NFL. That’s not easy to do and something I can relate to. Some people in football felt they had to march to the same beat to be respected and tried to be someone who they aren’t. Mike was smart enough to trust being who he is.”
In some manner he’s still walking down his great-grandmother’s hallway and realizing he’s different than everyone in the photos. It’s just the NFL coaches’ photos he doesn’t fit now. He’s fine with that, too. Because if people don’t know who Mike McDaniel is, he sure does, after a life of walking that hallway.

Voters in Los Angeles will decide if the homeless can be housed in vacant hotel rooms
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (CNN) – Los Angeles is considering a new solution to its homelessness problem, and it has already become a contentious debate.
In L.A. County, more than 60,000 people are homeless while more than 20,000 hotel rooms lie empty on the average night.
Union Here Local 11, led by Kurt Peterson, represents hotel workers in L.A. The union has gathered signatures, and now L.A. County residents will vote on a bill in 2024 that would force every hotel to report vacancies at 2 p.m. everyday. The hotels would then welcome homeless people into those rooms.
“We think this is one part of the solution,” Peterson said. “By no means do we think this solves the homelessness crisis. But do hotels have a role to play? Of course they do.”
Stuart Waldman, president of the Valley Industry & Commerce Association, disagrees.
“It’s just insane. It isn’t going to solve the problem,” he said.
Manoj Patel is the manager at an L.A. Motel 6. He voluntarily rents some rooms to homeless people who are vetted and paid for by a local church.
“Honestly, would you check into a hotel knowing that the chance of your neighbor to the left or right is a homeless individual?” he said.
Patel said that he is against a bill that would make this mandatory for hotels.
“We barely are surviving, number one. Number two, we have to think of the safety of our staff. And number three, we’re not professionally or any otherwise equipped with any of the supporting mechanisms that the homeless guest would require,” he said.
What services would be provided for the homeless remains unclear. Also unclear is how it would be funded.
Peterson said a pandemic-era program, which is now winding down, inspired the new bill by placing more than 10,000 people in hotels that volunteered.
“It’s up to the city. I mean, they did it during Project Room Key,” Peterson said.
Shawn Bigdeli was a recipient of the program.
“Well, first of all, it’s a blessing,” he said. “It’s a great room. The technology is not up to par, but, you know, what technologies do you have in the tent?”
This bill would also force developers to replace housing demolished to make way for new hotels, and hotel permits would be introduced.
Additionally, every hotel, from a Super 8 to the Biltmore, will have to accept homeless people as guests.
Bigdeli said he’s not so sure that would be a good idea.
“Maybe for some, but, you know, there’s a lot of people with untreated mental health, and some people do some damage to these poor buildings, man,” he said.
Manoj said his hotel sustained some damage from a homeless person.
“She marked all walls, the curtain she burnt, thank God there was no fire. Even marked the ceiling,” he said.
This is what some opponents of the bill to house the homeless in hotels are afraid of. They’re also afraid tourists could be put off from even coming to L.A.
“I wouldn’t want my kids around people that I’m not sure about,” Waldman said. “I wouldn’t want to be in an elevator with somebody who’s clearly having a mental break. The idea that you can intermingle homeless folks with paying normal guests just doesn’t work out.”
Peterson said the language the bill opponents are using may lead to backwards thinking about homeless people.
“There’s a certain class of people less than humans, animals, they’re almost described as, to be honest with you,” he said. “They don’t seem to understand who the unhoused are. We’re talking about seniors, students, working people. That’s who the voucher program would benefit the most.”
Some opponents say the union is pushing this bill as a negotiating tactic for leverage, but the union denies that.
They say they do want to make sure the hotels play their part in tackling a growing problem in Los Angeles.

NEW YORK (AP) — A number of scientists have wondered if aluminum, a vaccine additive that has been used for decades, had a role in allergies and asthma in children.
A new federally funded study has found a possible link, but experts say the research has important shortcomings and is not a reason to change current vaccine recommendations. The study doesn’t claim aluminum causes the breathing condition, and officials say more work is needed to try to confirm any connection, which hadn't been seen in earlier research.
Even if a link were ever found, the life-saving benefits of the vaccines are still likely to outweigh the asthma risk, said Dr. Matthew Daley, the study’s lead author. But it’s possible that if the results are confirmed, it could prompt new work to redesign vaccines, he added.
Dr. Paul Offit, of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, worried that the flawed study will needlessly scare some families away from proven vaccines.
“Making an extraordinary claim requires extraordinary evidence,” Offit said. This study does not offer that kind of evidence, he said.
He and other outside experts noted that Daley and his colleagues were unable to account for the effects of some potentially important ways children are exposed to aluminum — such as in the air or through their diet.
They also noted the findings include hard-to-explain inconsistencies, like why, in one subset of thousands of fully vaccinated kids, more aluminum exposure didn’t seem to result in a higher asthma risk.
CDC officials, in a statement, said it appears that aluminum-containing vaccines “do not account for the overall trends that we see.”
The study, released Tuesday, suggests that young children who were vaccinated with most or all of the recommended aluminum-containing vaccines had at least a 36% higher risk of being diagnosed with persistent asthma than kids who got fewer vaccines.
Aluminum has been used in some vaccines since the 1930s, as an ingredient — called an adjuvant — that provokes stronger immune protection.
By age 2, children should be vaccinated against 15 diseases, according to U.S. recommendations. Aluminum adjuvants are in vaccines for seven of them.
Aluminum adjuvants have long been considered safe and effective. Still, scientists noted a period of increased rates in allergies and asthma among U.S. children during a 30-year period starting in about 1980, and some wondered if there was a connection. (Those rates leveled off starting about a decade ago and have declined somewhat in recent years, for reasons not fully understood.)
Several previous studies didn’t find a link between aluminum-containing childhood vaccines and allergies and asthma. But other research has linked aluminum in industrial workplaces to asthma. And mice injected with aluminum suffer an immune system reaction that causes the kind of airway inflammation seen in childhood asthma.
“Based on what I consider limited animal data, there is a theoretical risk that the aluminum in vaccines could influence allergy risk,” said Daley, an associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
In 2013, the Institute of Medicine — now known as the National Academy of Medicine — called for more federal research into the safety of childhood vaccines, including their use of aluminum.
The new study is part of the government response to that call, Daley said. It was funded by the CDC, and included current and former CDC staffers among its authors. It was published by the medical journal Academic Pediatrics.
The researchers focused on about 327,000 U.S. children born from 2008 to 2014, looking at whether they got vaccines containing aluminum before age 2 and whether they developed persistent asthma between ages 2 and 5.
Asthma, a condition that can cause spasms in the lungs, usually results from an allergic reaction. About 4% of U.S. children under 5 have persistent asthma.
The researchers took steps to try to account for different factors that might influence the results, including race and ethnicity, whether kids were born premature or whether children had food allergies or certain other conditions.
But there were many other factors they were unable to address. For example, aluminum can routinely be found in breastmilk, infant formula and food, but the researchers were unable to get data on how much aluminum the kids got from eating. They also had no information on aluminum exposures from the air and environment where the children lived.
The researchers split the study group into two. One was about 14,000 kids who developed eczema, a skin condition that is seen as an early indicator for the development of asthma or other allergic diseases. They wanted to see if kids with eczema were more or less sensitive to aluminum in vaccines, compared with children who did not have early eczema. The other 312,000 or so kids in the study did not have early eczema.
Both groups got roughly the same amount of vaccine-related aluminum. The researchers found that for each milligram of aluminum received through vaccines, the risk of persistent asthma rose 26% in the eczema kids and 19% in kids who did not have eczema.
Overall, kids who got 3 milligrams or more of vaccine-related aluminum had at least a 36% higher risk of developing persistent asthma than kids who got less than 3, Daley said.
Offit said the study's limitations meant that the work has “added nothing to our understanding of vaccines and asthma."
But other experts said the researchers drew from a respected set of patient data and worked carefully with the best information that was available.
“This is public health at its best. They are making every effort to find any possible signal that may be a concern,” said Michael Osterholm, director of the University of Minnesota's Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy. “It’s our job to exhaustively examine that to see if that’s true."
He acknowledged anti-vaccine activists will likely jump to conclusions that the evidence doesn't support. But if CDC had the information and didn’t publish it, the agency might be seen as misleading the public, further eroding trust, he said.
Dr. Sarah Long, professor of pediatrics at the Drexel University College of Medicine, echoed that.
“I believe in complete transparency,” she said. “If you've asked a question and here spent our (taxpayer) money to (investigate) that question, I think the results should be aired in all of its warts and glory."

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Prosecutors and defense attorneys for two former Minneapolis police officers charged in the killing of George Floyd have filed more than 100 motions to limit testimony or evidence at trial — with many requests relying heavily on what happened at the previous two trials in Floyd’s death.
J. Alexander Kueng and Tou Thao are charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. With jury selection to begin Oct. 24, both sides are using what they learned in the prior trials to try to shape the proceeding in their favor. Hearings on the motions are scheduled for Thursday and Friday.
Defense attorney Mike Brandt, who isn't connected to the case, said it's typical pretrial maneuvering for the two sides to guess what the other will introduce and try to gain an advantage. Kueng and Thao “have a better crystal ball," he said.
Kueng, Thao and Thomas Lane were working with Derek Chauvin on May 25, 2020, when Chauvin, who is white, used his knee to pin Floyd’s neck to the pavement for more than nine minutes as the 46-year-old Black man said he couldn’t breathe and eventually grew still. Kueng knelt on Floyd’s back, Lane held his legs and Thao kept bystanders back.
Floyd’s killing was captured in bystander video and sparked worldwide protests as part of a reckoning over racial injustice.
Many of the requests stem from what's already happened in court. Tom Plunkett, Kueng's attorney, wants the judge to bar the state’s witnesses from addressing jurors directly and from asking them to take actions as part of a demonstration, such as asking them to examine their own necks.
That comes after one expert in Chauvin’s trial, lung and critical care specialist Dr. Martin Tobin, at one point loosened his tie, placed his hands on his own neck and encouraged jurors to do the same as he explained how he believed Floyd died. Jurors said later that Tobin provided some of the trial's most compelling evidence.
Tobin also narrated video of Floyd being held to the pavement and pinpointed what he said was the moment Floyd died. And paramedic Derek Smith testified that after checking for a pulse and not finding one: “In layman’s terms? I thought he was dead.” Bob Paule, an attorney for Thao, wants witnesses barred from referring to Floyd as dead until the time at which he was officially pronounced dead at a hospital. And Plunkett is asking that all non-physician testimony be limited to treatments and observations, not to Floyd's cause of death or characterization about whether he was dead or alive.
The state, meanwhile, wants to bar the defense from introducing evidence about the men’s characters and families. That request comes after the federal trial, in which the defendants or their family members talked about their backgrounds, their volunteerism, and how they overcame hardship – all evidence the state called irrelevant.
The state also seeks to bar evidence about whether Chauvin was qualified to be a field training officer – after questions about that were raised during the federal trial as part of a defense strategy to blame the officers' training for their actions that day.
The defense wants witnesses barred from testifying in uniform unless they are testifying as part of their job. That comes after Genevieve Hansen, a firefighter who was off duty when she came upon Floyd’s arrest, testified in uniform at Chauvin’s trial. Paule said Hansen will be testifying as a bystander, and that having a person testify under oath while in uniform might lead a jury to improperly find them more trustworthy.
The defense also wants an order barring witnesses from wearing signage, after another state witness, Donald Williams, wore a T-shirt under his dress shirt that said “Black Excellence,” according to the defense, and was visible to at least one juror. Paule also wants prosecutors to be barred from questioning Williams about his martial arts training and his understanding of a “blood choke” and how it affects breathing, saying Williams has no medical training.
The defense wants to bar the state from questions that elicit emotional responses, as prosecutors did during Chauvin’s trial, and they want to bar prosecutors from calling juvenile bystanders as witnesses, including a girl who was 9 at the time.
The defense says calling the child would further traumatize her, provoke emotions from the jury, and that her testimony has repeated what other bystanders said. The state has countered that the testimony of multiple bystanders is necessary, and that the varied people on the street – an older man, teenagers and a young girl – show it was not the dangerous crowd the defense tried to portray in Chauvin’s trial.
They also said the fact that a 9-year-old girl knew Floyd was in distress demonstrates just how unreasonable the officers’ use of force was.
Kueng, Thao and Lane were convicted in federal court earlier this year of depriving Floyd of his right to medical care. Thao and Kueng were convicted of a second count for failing to intervene and stop Chauvin.
In July, U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson sentenced Kueng to three years in prison and Thao to 3½ years on the federal counts. They reported to federal custody on Tuesday: Thao, who is Hmong American, is being held in Lexington, Kentucky, and Kueng, who is Black, is in Lisbon, Ohio.
Lane, who is white, avoided a state trial by pleading guilty in May to aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter. He was sentenced to three years on the state conviction, and 2 1/2 years on the federal conviction. He is serving both sentences concurrently at a low-security federal prison camp in Littleton, Colorado.
Chauvin was convicted of murder and manslaughter and was given a 22 1/2-year state sentence in 2021. He also pleaded guilty to a federal count of violating Floyd’s civil rights and was sentenced to 21 years on the federal charge. He is serving the sentences at the same time at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tucson, Arizona.

LAFAYETTE, Ind (WLFI) — A jury is selected and opening arguments are done Monday in a case that's gained nationwide attention.
Michael Barnett and his ex-wife, Kristine, are accused of abandoning their adopted daughter in Tippecanoe County and moving to Canada in 2013.
But the Barnetts have said their daughter, Natalia, who suffers from dwarfism, was an adult pretending to be a child at the time of adoption.
Attorneys on both sides, however, didn't discuss much of the controversy surrounding Natalia Barnett's age and instead focused on her disability.
Deputy Prosecutor Jackie Starbuck questioned jurors about their thoughts on dwarfism, including if they've seen reality TV shows about little people.
Defense attorney Terrance Kinnard asked jurors about parent and sibling relationships and whether or not they thought it was illegal or immoral to treat one child differently than another.
Jurors were painstakingly interviewed and often taken to a side room for private questioning.
Both sides had agreed to a jury by about 2:45 p.m.
During opening arguments, Starbuck argued Natalia Barnett was dependent on her adoptive parents for food, rent and other essentials.
Kinnard called the younger Barnett able-bodied and argued she was no longer interested in being a part of the family.
Neither attorney discussed her adoption or her age except for once, when Kinnard asserted she was 24 years old at the time of alleged abandonment.
He noted the Barnetts moved to Canada so one of their sons could attend a prestigious institute of theoretical physics.
Witnesses will take the stand Tuesday in day No. 2 of the trial. Natalia Barnett is expected to take the stand at some point this week.
Michal Barnett's ex-wife, Kristine, also faces a jury later this year. | 2022-10-24T20:32:28+00:00 | wlfi.com | https://www.wlfi.com/news/opening-arguments-surround-disability-not-age-of-natalia-barnett/article_f85eb9be-53d4-11ed-a9c9-eb2f5ac46b3d.html |

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Police in Ohio said three people were wounded in a shooting outside a high school football game Friday night.
A high school student and two adults were wounded and transported to area hospitals after being shot outside the Whitmer High School stadium in West Toledo around 9:30 p.m., WTOL-TV reported.
Police said the victims, who were note named, were expected to recover, WTOL reported
Police said two people are in custody following the shooting during the game between Whitmer and Central Catholic High School, WTOL reported.
The names of the suspects in custody were not immediately available.
Washington Local Schools spokesperson Katie Peters said in a statement that the three victims were the only people hurt during the shooting, the station reported.
“No guests were injured in the evacuation and we could not be prouder of our students, staff, Whitmer fans, and our guests from Central Catholic,” Peters said.
The school district’s security and screening measures were used during the event, Peters said.

New York City wasn’t built for online shopping (see: countless parking tickets on delivery trucks, endless congestion, all the stolen packages from unattended lobbies). Daily, 90,000 packages are reported stolen or lost in transit, according to NYC Department of Transportation (DOT). Despite that, at-home deliveries have surged in the city: 80% of households receive at least one delivery per week and 20% expect four or more deliveries. Seeing this, the city is testing a solution to the common problems that come with constant package deliveries to help cut down on road congestion and theft: Lockers.
LockerNYC is a new pilot program by the DOT, launching this summer. The year-long test is designed to help New Yorkers receive and send packages via secure lockers on public sidewalks, accessible 24/7. Lockers will be available across multiple delivery carriers, including UPS, DHL, and Pitney-Bowes and anyone who is interested.
Currently, private carriers, like Amazon and UPS offer lockers to paying customers, but these locations will differ in that they're public, almost like mailboxes. GoLocker, which currently operates private lockers in the city, will be the city's vendor for this project.
Fifteen lockers will be installed around the city as part of the pilot. Security cameras, LED lights and anti-theft protection will help keep the contents safe.
LockerNYC aims to reduce theft while also centralizing truck drop-off points, which results in fewer trips, lower emissions and better public safety. Locations have yet to be announced, but they’ll be selected with factors including NYPD package theft data, the concentration of buildings lacking package rooms, smooth pedestrian flow, fire safety and more.
“As the number of at-home deliveries has surged in recent years, so have the number of large delivery trucks on our city streets,” NYC DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez said in a news release. “The LockerNYC initiative will help reduce the number of trips delivery trucks make each day while also providing a secure place for New Yorkers to receive packages.”
As the pilot kicks off, it will be interesting to see how New Yorkers respond to the change. Will using the lockers be preferable to a home delivery, even if that delivery may be stolen? Will the lockers be used for illicit drop-offs and pick-ups? Will the slight inconvenience of walking to a locker remind New Yorkers that they can typically book it to the bodega for essentials instead of ordering online? | 2023-07-04T19:07:33+00:00 | timeout.com | https://www.timeout.com/newyork/news/new-york-city-is-testing-a-public-locker-program-to-help-with-package-deliveries-070323 |
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- On January 5, the famous international Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2023) officially kicked off in Las Vegas, bringing together a wide range of innovative products from around the world and showcasing cutting-edge trends in the consumer electronics industry.
As a leading television brand, SKYWORTH brought many of its star products to CES 2023, including the S1 Outdoor TV, the W82 Transformable OLED TV, the Q52 Mini LED TV, the G3B QLED+ TV, and the Coolita OS smart TV system, all of which were well received by the media and attendees.
Mini LED and OLED technology have attracted much attention from the industry since their introduction. Thanks to its high peak brightness and high contrast, Mini LED is gradually winning consumer recognition and promoting the upgrade of the TV product experience.
After releasing the Q72, the first SKYWORTH Smart Mini LED TV built using COG glass-based technology in 2021, SKYWORTH officially unveiled the S1, the world's first outdoor Google TV, at this year's CES.
The SKYWORTH S1 has a peak brightness of 3,000 nits and a 1,400+ Mini LED full-array backlight to achieve excellent dark field and highlight performance and support high-quality image rendering even under direct sunlight. The S1 also supports Dolby Vision and HDR10 and can automatically balance the brightness and color temperature of the screen in real time using its built-in ambient light sensor, ensuring a comfortable viewing experience throughout the day.
Equipped with an 8-speaker audio configuration with a total power of 100W, the SKYWORTH S1 supports Dolby Atmos, which is combined with advanced audio processing technology, and ensures that ambient noise no longer affects the audiovisual experience. Any sound on the S1, whether it is elegant guqin or orchestral music, becomes "a feast for the ears." The S1 combines stunning images and dynamic sound quality with wide viewing angles and high-speed motion picture processing to create a cinema-like experience for viewers. Its all-metal body and industry-certified high-strength screen panel also provide excellent heat dissipation, water and dust resistance, and impact resistance, allowing the S1 to withstand changing outdoor environments.
SKYWORTH also showcased Coolita OS, a smart TV system for overseas markets, at CES. The system has five core advantages, including an integrated system software platform, a global online free media library, local personalized functions, intelligent content recommendations, and cloud games. The product design of Coolita OS is lighter, faster, smoother, and more convenient to help users enjoy a wider range of content.
In 2022, SKYWORTH maintained steady growth in overseas market sales. Its overseas sales of OLED TVs grew by more than 20% year-over-year, and sales of OLED TVs in markets such as the United States and Hong Kong grew by over 140%. The company also maintained high growth rates in the large size products segment, with overseas sales of 55-inch and above products increasing 47% YOY and overseas sales of 75-inch and above products growing over 400% YOY.

Osaka loses to Zhang, Gauff quits with injury at Cincinnati
By MITCH STACY
AP Sports Writer
MASON, Ohio (AP) — Four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka was eliminated by Shuai Zhang, 6-4, 7-5, in the first round of the Western & Southern Open. The tournament outside Cincinnati lost another big name, Coco Gauff, when she retired from her match against qualifier Marie Bouzkova with a left ankle injury. Gauff had her ankle taped after the first set and dropped out after the first game of the second set. The marquee match scheduled for Tuesday night at this hart-court U.S. Open tuneup was Serena Williams against Emma Raducanu, last year’s champion at Flushing Meadows. Williams announced last week that she is transitioning away from tennis. | 2022-08-17T00:29:34+00:00 | kyma.com | https://kyma.com/news/ap-business/2022/08/16/osaka-loses-to-zhang-gauff-quits-with-injury-at-cincinnati-2/ |
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Eight Philadelphia government employees lied that they were unemployed in order to recieve pandemic jobless benefits, prosecutors said in announcing criminal charges Thursday.
The attorney general's office said the city workers collectively were paid more than $300,000 in pandemic unemployment assistance in 2020. Individuals collected between $17,000 and $63,000, prosecutors said.
They were accused of theft, receiving stolen property and tampering with public records in charges filed Wednesday in a Harrisburg district court.
Attorney General Josh Shapiro said prosecutors do not believe the eight defendants are connected. They include people who worked for the city as asphalt rakers and social work services managers.
“These individuals didn’t just apply for (the) assistance once and got the money,” Shapiro said at a Philadelphia news conference Thursday. “Instead they had to go online, week after week, and reaffirm that they were unemployed due to COVID-19.”
Only two of the defendants answered calls to phone numbers listed in court records — one denied the allegations and the other declined to comment. Messages were left for three and the other three numbers were not working.
State prosecutors have so far charged 63 people in Pennsylvania with pandemic unemployment fraud worth about $3.1 million.
The attorney general's office received a referral to investigate the allegations from the city's inspector general in October 2021. | 2022-06-16T20:06:34+00:00 | expressnews.com | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Prosecutors-accuse-Philly-workers-of-COVID-19-17246688.php |
What is Today's Deals on Amazon? Everything you need to know about the deals on Amazon
There is a way for you to always find the best deals available on Amazon.
We’ve shared with you previously about the wonder that is Amazon Warehouse, a secret section on the retail giant’s site where you never pay full price for anything.
Video above shows an Amazon same-day facility.
But there is another section you should know about that is hidden in plain sight.
It’s known as “Today’s Deals” and it rests on the front page of their website.
Once you click on that tab, you are taken to a page that houses all of the deals that are currently ongoing on Amazon. You’ll notice deals on a mixed bag of items, some from notable brands and others from brands you may not be as familiar with.
You can sort by department on the left side of the window (i.e. baby, books, electronics, fashion, home improvement) as well as by deal type.
What do the different deals mean?
You’ll notice in the deal type filter that there are three deal types to choose from: best deal, lightning deal and top deal.
There isn’t a specific definition for best or top deal that we could find on Amazon’s website, but we did find a definition on a lightning deal.
According to Amazon, a lightning deal is a time-sensitive discount on an item or any available variations of the item.
Because it is time-sensitive, it means you’re on the clock to take advantage of the deal. You’ll see a time showing how long you have to add the item to your cart along with a status bar showing the percentage of the deals already claimed.
Once the bar has hit 100%, you’ll then see a join waitlist button. So you need to act fast on lightning deals you find in the Today’s Deals page.
What deals can I see?
All the deals!
When we worked on this story, we noticed the following deals that caught our eye.
- Up to 54% on toys from Nerf
- Up to 40% off on Beats earbuds
- Up to 37% off on Philips Sonicare electric toothbrushes
- 36% off TurboTax Deluxe & State Tax Software (2022 version)
- Up to 27% off on NordicTrack treadmills, bike, rower and weights
These deals change every day. Some deals may go on for a while, while other discounts may only be temporary.
How deep do these discounts go? You can actually sort by discount on the page and filter in the following ways.
Make sure to check out this page on your next shopping trip to Amazon and if you want to know more about Amazon Warehouse, click here.

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Dozens of people gathered in the Decatur Square on Sunday to remember Tyre Nichols and push for changes in the system.
The group stood in solidarity with Nichols’ family and the people of Memphis, after Nichols was killed in a brutal beating by five former Memphis officers.
“What happened in Memphis is one of the worst things I’ve ever seen,” one speaker said on Sunday. “The question is what will we do together to change?”
Many are calling for a change in the system, one they say doesn’t protect the people, as another Black man in America is killed during an encounter with police.

Actor Rob Schneider surprises fans at Raising Cane's drive-thru in Phoenix
PHOENIX - Raising Cane's customers in the Valley got a big surprise at the drive-thru after meeting Rob Schneider, who was busy serving up chicken fingers and movie tickets.
The comedian was at the location on 24th Street and Baseline on Sept. 21 to promote his new movie "Daddy Daughter Trip", which opens up in theaters next week.
Schneider said he wanted to get the locals involved because the film has an Arizona connection.
"We shot the whole movie here, I'm a resident now - I'm your neighbor, be nice -and people have been great to us," he said. "This movie is…for Arizonans."
The world premiere of "Daddy Daughter Trip" is on Tuesday, Sept. 27 at the Harkins Theatre at Scottsdale Fashion Square.
Some lucky fans who attend the screening will win free Cane's for an entire year.

In a ghost town at the edge of Gillespie County, the Fredericksburg Oyster Festival brings maritime meals to the Hill Country.
More than just “big, beautiful Texas oysters served raw” will feature at the event: drinks, dancing and “Bankersmith’s World Famous Burger” accompany the oysters — all scored by live local music acts from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday.
The event occurs in Bankersmith, Texas — a saloon and dancehall 10 miles south of downtown Fredericksburg on 7905 Old San Antonio Road.
Bankersmith originated in 1913 as a train station between San Antonio and Fredericksburg, according to the saloon’s website.
The town became virtually abandoned in the 1940s, earning the “ghost town” moniker.
The town is also known for its former name — Bikinis — as it was purchased by the owner of the “breastaurant” chain, “Bikinis.” The ghost town reverted to Bankersmith in 2015.
General admission tickets are $10, excluding taxes and service fees. VIP passes into the event guarantee at least two dozen oysters and more if available, according to the event’s Eventbrite page.
Children under 10 enter free with a paying adult, and no ticket is eligible for refunds.

LITTLE FERRY, N.J., Feb. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In March 2021, leading K-Beauty brand KiGold launched their new Ginseng Blossom Shampoo and Treatment set into over 450 brick-and-mortar locations and online at Costco USA. Within 8 weeks of launch, they sold out the set across both mediums.
The set's successful debut opened doors for the brand to expand to Costco Canada, Costco Mexico, Costco Spain, and Costco Taiwan, and almost 2 years later, they will be restocking in the USA within 100 doors and online on February 13th, 2023. Following a successful re-launch, Ki Gold will continue its international expansion, debuting in Costco China, Costco UK, and Costco France at the end of 2023.
"Since the pandemic, stress-induced hair thinning and hair loss has become a real concern, even in younger generations," said Sean Lee, General Manager of KiGold. "The KiGold Ginseng Blossom set was curated to help restore healthy hair and scalp and we're thrilled to continue providing consumers an accessible solution."
The best-selling KiGold Ginseng Blossom Hair Set consists of a Shampoo and Treatment duo, which are infused with oriental herbal ingredients without artificial colors to revitalize tired hair, prevent scalp aging, promote blood circulation, and strengthen the roots. As a unique point of difference, the Shampoo is infused with a whole Korean ginseng root that has a 1,500-year history and unrivaled medicinal effects. Additionally containing Saponin, which comes from ginseng to clean out dead skin cells, add energy to thin weak hair, and improve the immune system. Followed by the Treatment, which fills hair with protein for stronger strands.
The set is free of silicones, parabens, CMIT/MIT, P-hydroxy benzoic acid, and triclosan. Beginning today, the KiGold Ginseng Blossom Shampoo and Treatment Set will retail online and various Costco locations across the country. This set normally retails at $79.99, but Costco has a great savings offer at $42.99.
KiGold made history as the first brand to create a natural medicinal herb formula in the chemical shampoo saturated market. KiGold is made by directly decocting more than 30 selected natural medicinal herbal ingredients in a traditional way to form a potent formula that combats hair loss at the root cause. KiGold quickly rose to the top in the Asian market as one of the top premium hair care brands and the recognition has spread rapidly worldwide.

Missouri Democratic Rep. Cori Bush has introduced new legislation calling for $14 trillion in reparations for Black Americans, in an effort to see the federal government atone for the practice of chattel slavery and hundreds of years of racist policies that followed.
"The United States has a moral and legal obligation to provide reparations for the enslavement of Africans and its lasting harm on the lives of millions of Black people," Bush said in a Wednesday news conference attended by Reps. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., and Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., as well as other stakeholders.
"America must provide reparations if we desire a prosperous future for all," Bush said.
Her resolution is the latest in a long line of congressional efforts by Democrats to compensate Black Americans for centuries of racial inequity. Similar language about reparations has been introduced in every legislative session since 1989.
"We know that we continue to live under slavery's vestiges. We know how slavery has perpetuated Jim Crow. We know how slavery's impacts live on today," Bush said, citing the racial wealth gap, voter suppression, infant mortality rates and other negative health outcomes for Black people.
"It's unjust and it wouldn't happen in a just and fair and equitable society," she said. "Those are not the natural consequences of human society."
"They are directly caused by our federal government's role in the enslavement and exploitation of Africans and Black people throughout our history."
While the conversation around reparations has picked up traction in recent years, with about a dozen cities and the state of California considering reparation programs, the concept remains broadly unpopular with Americans.
About three-quarters or more of white adults oppose reparations, and so do a majority of Latinos and Asian Americans.
Black Americans overwhelmingly support the proposal, and young people in general are more likely to support cash payments to the descendants of enslaved people than their older counterparts.
But more than 90 percent of Republicans say they oppose it, while Democrats are split nearly 50/50 on whether descendants should receive compensation.

WASHINGTON — 157 years after the Civil War ended, the U.S. military is poised to remove all mention of the Confederacy at all of its bases and other assets.
After 18 months of study, the armed forces are about to enact a plan to rename nine Army posts and two Navy ships, and remove or modify a 17-page list of Defense Department assets named to honor the Confederacy.
An independent commission recommended the changes, which Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin approved Thursday via memo.
"After reviewing the report, the Secretary has concurred with all the naming commission's recommendations and is committed to implementing them as soon as possible," Air Force Brigadier General Pat Ryder said at a Pentagon news conference Thursday.
He continued: "Secretary Austin is grateful for the work of the commission and thanks them for their dedicated efforts and recommendations that will give proud new names that are rooted in their local communities ad that honor American heroes whose valor, courage and patriotism exemplify the very best of the U.S. military."
The nine Army bases to be rebranded include Fort Lee, Pickett and A.P. Hill in Virginia, all named after Confederate generals.
Additionally, the Secretary of the Navy will rename the guided missile cruiser USS Chancellorsville and the oceanographic survey ship USNS Maury.
Fort Lee in Prince George County, Virginia will no longer be named after Robert E. Lee with its new name, Fort Gregg-Adams.
The name honors retired Lt. Gen Arthur Gregg, who left the Army as the second-highest ranked Black officer at the time, and the late Charity Adams, the first Black woman in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps.
Fort A.P. Hill in Caroline County, Virginia will become Fort Walker in memory of Dr. Mary Edwards Walker, an American abolitionist, prohibitionist, prisoner of war and surgeon. She was the only woman to ever receive the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Fort Pickett near Blackstone, Virginia will become Fort Barfoot in memory of Col Van Thomas Barfoot, a Congressional Medal of Honor winner during World War I.
The Defense Department has until Jan. 1, 2024, to complete all renaming and removals.
The commission estimates that the cost of just renaming the nine Army bases will be $21 million.
The total cost of removing all monuments, changing signage and other renaming efforts is expected to cost taxpayers roughly $62 million. | 2022-10-09T11:14:56+00:00 | wcnc.com | https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/national/military-news/military-renaming-bases-assets-civil-war-confederate-figures/291-ef861fb0-1053-49e2-b1e1-fa657e7b67c0 |
Christina Tosi of Milk Bar fame has a new cookbook out just in time for our holiday baking sprees. “All About Cookies” (Clarkson Potter, $35) takes home bakers on a wild ride into a sweet world where nearly anything goes. Pretzels are ground into flour. So are Rice Krispies. And leftover frying oil gets new life in these tempting Jelly Donut Cookie Sammies, one of more than 100 recipes for sweet treats in the book.
“Leftover fryer oil — the oil we cool down, strain and save after frying something — is pretty common in my household,” she says in the book, adding, “Please, no judgment. After a couple of batches of cannoli or funnel cakes, I have a healthy stash of this flavorful, fried food-flavored oil ready to live a second life.”
You probably won’t want to use leftover oil from a fish fry, but cannoli? We’re down with that. Tosi offers a couple of additional pro tips: “Do not overmix the dough once you add flour — a great wafer is tender and snappy, which means minimal mixing! I like to use a plastic pancake spatula or offset spatula to help transfer the dough rounds to the baking sheet and then again to get the baked wafers to release easily.”
Now here’s the recipe.
Jelly Donut Cookie Sammies
Makes 18 cookies
INGREDIENTS
1 recipe Donut Wafer dough (see below) flour, for rolling out
252 g (1 cup) jelly of your choice
Powdered sugar for dusting
DIRECTIONS
Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Pan-spray two half-sheet pans.
Roll the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface and use a rolling pin to smooth to a ¼-inch thickness.
Use a large (about 4-inch) round cookie cutter to cut as many rounds as possible (you can always re-use the dough scraps, too). Then use a small (about 2-inch) round cookie cutter to cut small circles out of the inside of the large rounds so you are left with O-shaped rounds. Use a flat spatula to transfer all the rounds to the prepared sheets.
Bake at 325 degrees until golden brown around the edges, about 10 minutes. Cool completely on the pans.
Load the jelly into a zip-seal bag or piping bag and cut a tiny hole in one end. On half the cookies, trace a solid line of jelly around the inner and outer edges of the donut shape to form a sort of “retaining wall.” Then fill in the center of the cookies (between the jelly borders) with a light coating of jelly. Top with the remaining half of the cookies.
Dust the cookie sandwiches with a little powdered sugar and serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Donut Wafers
Makes about twelve 3-inch rounds
INGREDIENTS
42 g (3 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
70 g (1/3 cup) sugar
70 g (1/3 cup) light brown sugar (packed)
80 g (1/3 cup) upcycled fryer oil
2 g (½ teaspoon) vanilla extract
145 g (1 cup) flour
2 g (½ teaspoon) kosher salt
DIRECTIONS
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, sugar and brown sugar on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
Add the oil and vanilla and paddle on low speed until well combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
Add the flour and salt and paddle on low speed until just combined, about 20 seconds.
Turn the dough out onto a work surface, divide in half, and flatten into 2 evenly shaped pancakes. Roll each dough pancake out between two sheets of parchment paper to a ½-inch thickness. (Using parchment here is a real sanity saver, so don’t skip it!) Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter (or water glass), cut the dough rounds as close to one another as possible. Refrigerate or freeze the entire sheet of dough for at least 30 minutes.
Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Pan-spray or line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Pop the chilled rounds off the parchment and transfer them to the prepared pan, spacing them ¼ inch apart. (They don’t spread in the oven!) Reshape the dough scraps into a ball and roll out anew, repeating until you run out of dough.
Bake each sheet of cookies at 325 degrees until the edges and center are a golden brown doughnut color, 12 to 15 minutes.
Let the wafers cool completely before layering into a snap. If made in advance, these cookies will last in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days

Since the start of the year, millions of protesters in France have been calling for the government to scrap its pension reforms. The headline change is to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. And it’s provoked some of the biggest street demonstrations in recent memory. The protesters argue that the government wants people to work more, but it’s not supporting older workers.
"This is not just about work; it’s about the conditions you work in. We have to act on this issue, and ensure people can have a good career, in good health. The reform is unjust," said Alexandre DuBois, with the French Democratic Confederation of Labor.
The unions argue the proposed reforms unfairly impact women and lower-paid workers at a time when many people are already feeling the pinch.
"In 10 years’ time, it could be 65 or 66 — when will it stop? Life expectancy is going up but only very slowly, and our purchasing power is falling, it’s going to be very difficult," said Fabrice, a firefighter.
The government says the changes are essential to make the country’s pension system financially sustainable in the future.

"There is a majority of lawmakers who do not want to fund our retirements with higher taxes, more charges, and lower pensions. They believe that people who started working early should be able to retire early as well," said Elisabeth Borne, French Prime Minister.
It’s not just the content of the policy that has angered the public, it’s how the reforms were passed. The government does not have a majority in the lower house, so it deployed a controversial, but constitutional tool to get the reforms through parliament. That meant it could bypass a vote by lawmakers. Forcing the legislation through meant the prime minister faced two no-confidence votes, but she survived.
The president has laid out his position. He is committed to the reforms. But the unions vow to continue with their strikes and protests to try to force the government to back down.
The demonstrations have been getting more violent. Protesters set the city hall in the southern city of Bordeaux ablaze and there have been increased clashes with law enforcement.
With more protests expected, and ministers refusing to budge, the endgame of this huge social movement and the government’s reforms remains uncertain.

This fixed-mintage 2 oz silver coin, available only from Birch Gold Group, memorializes the dynamic leader who took on the entire world, and almost won, before his exile to Saint Helena…
BURBANK, Calif., June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading precious metals dealer Birch Gold Group announced today that it will be the only authorized distributor of the Saint Helena 2 oz. Napoleonic bee silver coin. This fixed-mintage coin will be available only to Birch Gold Group customers.
"This is a truly unique and special coin," said Phillip Patrick, Precious Metals Specialist at Birch Gold Group. "It's a perfect commemorative for such an historic and controversial figure as Napoleon – there haven't been many of those. And its fixed-mintage status makes it an even more compelling piece for physical precious metals investors."
The 2 oz Napoleon bee silver coin doesn't feature the standard national symbols of France, the fleur-de-lis of the French monarchs or le coq gaulois, the French national symbol since Roman times. Instead, the reverse features the personal heraldic emblem Napoleon chose when he was crowned Emperor in 1804: the French honeybee.
The honeybee symbolized French industry and was one of the most prominent emblems of the French Revolution. Napoleon's own obsessive work habits and fanatical attention to detail led his closest friends to call him "the bee."
The coin's reverse features the honeybee, symbolic of hard work and orderliness, those qualities Napoleon demanded of himself and his nation. The bee is surrounded by a garland of laurels, and topped with the crown Pope Pius VII handed Napoleon during his coronation at Notre Dame Cathedral in 1804. The legend reads, "Napoléon Bonaparte" and the motto "1769-1821." In the coin's outer circle one of the Emperor's bees and the East India Company mint mark punctuate the two phrases.
The obverse displays the 1985 "third portrait" of Queen Elizabeth by renowned sculptor Raphael Maklouf. The background pattern of bees is repeated but in opposite contrast, light on a dark background. The obverse legend includes the 2022 year of mintage, weight, face value of £2 and 0.999 purity.
The East India Company, which minted Saint Helena's first coins in 1821, released this fixed-mintage silver coin 200 years after Napoleon's burial on the island. The fixed-mintage St. Helena 2 oz silver £2 Napoleonic bee coin is available only to Birch Gold Group customers only. Choose between home delivery or placement within a Precious Metals IRA.
For information about Birch Gold Group's products and services, visit https://www.birchgold.com or call (800) 355-2116.

Off-duty officers help save 8-year-old entangled in rope ladder
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. (KYW) - An 8-year-old boy is lucky to be alive after he got entangled in a rope ladder at an indoor amusement park. Two off-duty officers are credited with helping to save him.
Cpl. J.R. Kane with West Vincent Township Place was visiting with his sons and nephews Feb. 24 at Thrillz High Flying Adventure Park in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. He heard calls for help, grabbed his stepfather’s pocketknife and ran to assist.
An 8-year-old boy had gotten entangled in a rope ladder and was hanging from his neck. Police say the boy had stopped breathing.
“He was unconscious, and he was foaming at the mouth and pretty lifeless,” Kane said. “When you are a father or a mother, you don’t want to ever have to see that. You think of your own child being in that position.”
Kane handed the knife to a staff member to cut the boy down. Then, he and another off-duty officer, Deputy Chief Cory Cooper from Darby Township Police, worked together to help save the 8-year-old. They administered CPR and rescue breathing.
The 8-year-old regained consciousness and started speaking. He was taken to the hospital, from which he was released later that day.
Kane may have been off the clock at the park, but he says first responders are never truly off duty.
“Thankfully, we were there – right place, right time,” Kane said. “It’s our task to preserve life and protect life out there, so we’re just doing our job.”
The owner of the park said in a statement that the boy was seen in camera footage climbing headfirst down the rope ladder when he became entangled. The park’s safety monitors formed a response team within 10 seconds.
Following this incident, the park intends to enhance the safety of the rope ladder.
Police are also looking into safety procedures throughout the park.

(NEXSTAR) – It seems to be only a matter of time before Netflix will bring its anti-password sharing efforts to the U.S. after rolling out changes to nearly half a dozen countries – including Canada – earlier this month.
Recently, Netflix has made it clear it’s ready to crack down on a practice once commonly associated with the streaming giant. Last month, Netflix executives told shareholders they expected to roll out paid account sharing “more broadly” toward the end of the first quarter of 2023 – a date that’s nearly here.
The company estimates more than 100 million households share accounts, which “undermines our long-term ability to invest in and improve Netflix.”
Netflix has been exploring ways to crack down on password sharing, including a log-in verification process in 2021 and the use of sub-accounts for people living outside the account owner’s home in 2022, which was tested in Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru.
Roughly two weeks ago, Netflix expanded its paid account sharing into Canada, New Zealand, Portugal, and Spain.
Based on what we’ve already seen, here’s what paid password sharing could look like in the U.S.
How it could work
After a tumultuous rollout in Central America earlier this year, which included making account holders verify their primary location every 31 days, Netflix appears to have pulled back on its password-sharing guidelines.
In a statement announcing the changes in Canada and three other countries, Netflix wrote, “We’ve always made it easy for people who live together to share their Netflix account with features like profiles and multiple streams. While these have been hugely popular, they’ve also created confusion about when and how you can share Netflix.”
Instead, the company explained at the time that changes to sharing included setting a primary location for the Netflix account and introducing sub accounts. Those sub accounts allow account holders with a standard or premium plan to add up to two people who live outside their household to their plan for an extra, smaller fee. Netflix also removed guidance regarding verifying primary account locations from the initial markets it launched paid password sharing in.
It’ll cost you
As previously mentioned, the use of sub accounts comes with a fee.
When it introduced sub-accounts in Chile last year, Netflix charged $2.99 for the extra member. In Canada, Netflix will charge CAD$7.99, which is about $5.95 in U.S. dollars.
It isn’t yet clear how much sub accounts would cost U.S. subscribers.
Currently, sub accounts are only available on standard or premium Netflix accounts, which allow for two and four simultaneous streams, respectively. Those on the standard plan can add one extra member, while premium account owners can add two.
Netflix knows you might leave
When Netflix first rolled out changes earlier this month, many users took to Twitter to express their frustration, especially regarding the original requirement to verify their location once a month. Some even brought back a tweet from 2017 in which Neftlix wrote, “Love is sharing a password.”
Then-CEO Reed Hastings (he stepped down as CEO last month) said in 2016 that Netflix wouldn’t charge users for sharing their passwords. Instead, he called password sharing “something you have to learn to live with,” CNBC reports.
“It’s worth noting that this will not be a universally popular move, so there will be current members that are unhappy with this move. We’ll see a bit of a cancel reaction to that,” Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters said in a conference call with investors in January. “We think of this as similar to what we see when we raise prices.”
Since rolling out changes in Canada and three other countries, Netflix hasn’t said what actions it will take if subscribers continue to share accounts outside their households. While Netflix won’t say when paid sharing will come to other countries, some version of the plan is expected to be introduced in the U.S. in the coming weeks. | 2023-02-21T02:54:48+00:00 | kdvr.com | https://kdvr.com/news/nationalworld-news/3-things-we-know-about-netflixs-efforts-to-crack-down-on-password-sharing/ |
For years, Lake Zurich mayor and village trustees have been looking at an alternative water source for the village, and after a vote at the Village Board meeting earlier this month, they got a step closer.
The village is looking to switch from using local wells to having Lake Michigan water.
Trustee Marc Spacone told the board at its April 3 meeting that Boston-based CDM Smith Inc. – which has offices in Chicago and west suburban Lisle – recommends using the lake water as a more sustainable source.
“As part of the evaluation, CDM Smith is providing recommendations for additional facilities and improvements needed to maintain system pressure, fire flows and other established system criteria to provide Lake Michigan water as the water source for Lake Zurich,” Spacone said, ahead of a presentation by CDM Smith.
The village already has state approval for the move to getting Lake Michigan water, but at the board meeting, a representative from the engineering and construction firm laid out the benefits. He also explained that a new system would include a backup, and maintain current pressure and water quality.
In total, the project could cost as much as $152 million and would take at least two years to implement, officials explained. The village’s water supply would then be managed by Central Lake County Joint Action Water Agency, which provides water to much of the county – a reason l it became a leading contender to be Lake Zurich’s water supplier.
Amaro Tassi, from CDM Smith, said the water service would provide the same service and pressure as exists now in the village, but with a better supply. In addition, there will be about 8,000 feet of new pipe installed in the village to ensure proper water pressure.
“The agency owns infrastructure throughout the county … so extending that approximately seven-mile pipeline is just part of the agency’s system that exists in Lake County,” Tassi said.
The plan looks to future developments, and Tassi said that would require some 3.4 million gallons per day. He said the village would also want to keep two backup wells in addition to water reservoirs in water towers.
Tassi said most villages and towns use state loans to fund water projects because the interest rate is less than 2%, though Lake Zurich’s could be lowerl. The loans have a 20-year lifespan.
“You would qualify for a further reduction of interest rates, as you’re a smaller community,” he said, but didn’t offer a specific interest rate.
However, he said the loan could fund nearly everything – aside from easement rights and a few other things – if the village needed that.
The board seemed pleased with the plan and voted to establish a resolution of intent, giving a path forward to go with the Lake Michigan water plan with CLCJAWA. This is the first step to establish exact costs and other details and doesn’t commit the village to the plan.
“I can tell you I think this is the right solution for the village going forward,” said Trustee Dan Bobrowski.
He said he’s very conscious about what he puts in his body and he appreciates how clean the water is.
CLCJAWA Executive Director Bill Soucie, who was also on hand at the meeting, assured residents that water quality is measured hourly by hand and more often by computers in addition to outside testing and assessment of the source water.
“Our position is to know more about our water than anyone else,” he said. “We have a lot of safety built into our system.”
Village Manager Ray Keller said there could be a rate hike, but there would be anyway because of the aging infrastructure of the existing system.
“We still have an aging distribution system but as we replace pipes, other pipes get older,” he said.
He said water rate revenue will probably pay for the transition, though it’s not yet clear how much rates will be affected until the project begins its bidding.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The Bus Bros. of IndyCar were quickly knocked out of contention in their debut Rolex 24 at Daytona because of a very early issue with their Tower Motorsports entry.
John Farano, owner of the car, hired IndyCar stars Josef Newgarden and Scott McLaughlin, as well as rising talent Kyffin Simpson, for the twice-round-the-clock endurance race at Daytona International Speedway. The entry is in the second-level LMP2 class, but there's been speculation that the overall race winner could come from that class if the new hybrid GTP top class suffers reliability problems.
Farano had stressed the Tower team was only chasing a class victory and not even considering the overall victory, but his two times on track doomed the entry. Farano crashed the car last weekend in qualifying and then stalled the car Saturday less than 10 minutes after the race began.
McLaughlin said that a water bottle leaked onto the electronic control issue to cause the stall. Farano took the car to the garage and Tower was down nine laps and running last, in 61st, when he got the car back on track.
“By the time we got the car back, we'd lost a few laps, and by the time they sorted the problem, we lost even more laps,” McLaughlin said.
He added that it's been a disappointing first Rolex for he and Newgarden, Team Penske teammates who have developed a deep friendship and YouTube series called “The Bus Bros.” in which they showcase their racing lifestyle.
“I was really excited. I was like choked up at the race start, so many people walking up and down pit lane,” McLaughlin said. “So many people have come out to support us, especially IndyCar drivers, and for that to happen so early sucked.”
Fellow IndyCar driver Colton Herta also suffered a setback in his bid to finish first and second in the top GTP class.
Herta was scheduled to drive in both BMWs — giving him two chances to win the Rolex watch, as well as finish both first and second — when one of the BMWs had an issue less than an hour into the race. It happened before Herta's scheduled stint in the car — he is required to drive a minimum of two hours in each of the cars — and the No. 25 BMW was in the garage attempting to fix a mechanical problem when Herta was supposed to be driving.
The race marks a new era for IMSA sports car racing with the debut of hybrid engines in the top GTP class. It makes IMSA the only North American series using hybrid technology and has drawn immense interest to the series.
The GTP class has four different manufacturers — double the number in last year's race — with BMW and Porsche new to the class alongside stalwarts Acura and Cadillac. Lamborghini has announced plans to enter the series before the end of the year.
The hybrid debut turned Saturday into the largest crowd for the Rolex in its 61 years as the unofficial opener of the racing season. An official attendance figure was not provided.
“History is being written starting today,” said Bobby Rahal, co-owner of the two BMW GTP entries.
Rahal moved up to the top class for the new era, while Roger Penske returned to sports car racing and hopes to take his two Porsches to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June. Michael Andretti, meanwhile, partnered with Wayne Taylor Racing to join the grid and a Saturday morning news conference of the seven GTP team owners was comprised of five owners of IndyCar teams.
“I think the future’s really bright for sports car racing, and I think our timing is perfect to be involved,” said Andretti.
All the GTP team owners stressed the importance of IMSA, the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO) and the Federation International de l’Automobile (FIA) merging rules that has widened IMSA's participation and given North American sports car teams a chance to race Le Mans.
“This seems to be a real platform for us to take sports car racing to the next level here in the United States,” said Penske, "and then to be able to compete on the international platform at Le Mans for our teams and our brands will be special. I look at competing with these folks as going to be terrific.”
Meyer Shank Racing is both the defending race winner and defending IMSA champion. It started from the pole and Tom Blomqvist had the No. 60 Acura out front every lap through the first 100 minutes.

Each ton of carbon dioxide that exits a smokestack or tailpipe is doing far more damage than what governments take into account, researchers conclude in a scientific paper published Thursday.
Major hurricanes pack more rain, while extremes of wildfire, drought and downpours are all happening more often and with more intensity due to climate change, causing loss of communities, homes and lives all over the world. But what is the actual cost in dollar terms of the carbon emissions driving climactic change?
That’s what researchers from a variety of fields — science, economics, medicine — are trying to figure out through a metric called the social cost of carbon, a price that represents the total climate damage caused to society through carbon emissions. It’s been used in the past to justify tougher limits on carbon emissions and more spending on climate solutions, like transitioning to renewable energy and natural flood protection.
Currently, the United States government uses a price of $51 per ton of carbon dioxide emitted, but the researchers wrote in the journal Nature that the price should be $185 per ton — 3.6 times higher than the current U.S. standard.
“Our results suggest that we are vastly underestimating the harm from each additional ton of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,” said Kevin Rennert, a study author and director of the federal climate policy initiative at Resources for the Future, an environmental nonprofit based in Washington, D.C. “And the implication is that the benefits of government policies and other actions that reduce global warming pollution are greater than has been estimated.”
Rennert and colleagues created an updated model to measure the societal cost of emitting carbon that includes several measures excluded in previous research. They say key additions include a better accounting of the uncertainty of future climate policy, economic growth and environmental phenomena like sea level rise. They also include damages to ecosystems, biodiversity and human health, which previously weren’t accounted for.
The changes come in response to a 2017 report from the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine that said current carbon pricing calculations were inadequate and gave several recommendations for bringing the outdated models up to speed.
Researchers began calculating damages from carbon emissions in the 1980s and before 2017, the last updates to the modelling were in the early to mid 1990s, “when the Counting Crows were still at the top of the charts,” said Max Auffhammer, an author of the 2017 report and professor of international sustainable development at the University of California, Berkeley. Auffhammer, who was not involved in the Nature study, praised the updated model.
“A lot of science has happened,” he said. “A lot of amazing datasets have come online for us to study how environmental change translates into outcomes we care about. So, that’s in there now.”
But not all of the authors of the 2017 report think the updated model presented in Nature is ready for use on the federal level.
“I found it to be …. an interesting academic piece. It offers a lot of food for thought,” said Steven Rose, another author of the 2017 report and a senior research economist at the Electric Power Research Institute. “However, I also thought it’s a long way from what the current administration needs,” he said, noting the new research relied on limited prior damage studies.
In the U.S. federal officials began applying the cost estimate to new regulations more than a decade ago after environmentalists successfully sued the government for not taking greenhouse gas emissions into account when setting vehicle mileage standards.
The $51 per ton estimate under Biden restored a figure used during the Obama administration. The Trump administration had reduced the figure to about $7 or less per ton. The lowered estimate counted only damages felt in the U.S.
Republicans have fought against using estimated future climate damages to steer policy, and officials in 23 states last year joined together on a pair of lawsuits claiming the Biden administration’s use of the social cost of carbon was illegal. Led by the attorneys general of Louisiana and Missouri, the states allege the Biden administration wants to use the future costs to justify stringent curbs on energy companies and other polluting industries.
The GOP states won a temporary victory in February when a judge in Louisiana blocked the administration’s use of the $51-per-ton value. That was reversed in March by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which said the states had not shown any specific harm caused by the administration’s consideration of climate damages.
The states are still pressing the lawsuits and in June argued before the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals seeking to again block the administration.
At the core of the legal dispute is how much effect the social cost of carbon will have on industry. That’s likely to be much greater at a higher value of $185 per ton, because as potential future damages become more costly, the benefits from avoiding those damages through more stringent rules grow accordingly.
“It suggests there are many more actions we can take to curb carbon emissions that are going to be on the table that were not on the table before,” said Stanford University economist Marshall Burke.
While the social cost of carbon has been considered in more than a dozen actions under Biden – including tougher fuel efficiency standards for cars and light trucks and new oil and gas lease sales on public lands – federal officials have said in court briefings that so far it has not been a deciding factor.
The Biden administration was due to release an updated estimate in January, but that was delayed in part by the litigation from states.
The White House said it is still reviewing the best way to price climate damages when making policy decisions. But officials already have determined that the interim price of $51 per ton is too low. In an analysis of the new climate law published last week by the White House Office of Management and Budget, officials wrote that “the interim social cost of carbon estimates are currently significantly underestimated because they do not account for many important climate damage categories, such as ocean acidification.”
An agency spokesperson declined to give a timeline for a new cost estimate.
“This Administration remains committed to accounting for the costs of greenhouse gas emissions as accurately as possible, and we continue to assess how best to account for these costs in regulatory and budgetary contexts in the future,” the Office of Management and Budget said in a statement to The Associated Press.

LONDON (AP) — British scientists said Friday they don’t think pollution killed thousands of crabs that washed up on beaches in northeast England, though they are unsure what did cause the unusual die-off.
The crustaceans were found dead or dying along more than 70 kilometers (44 miles) of coastline in late 2021, with some displaying unusual “twitching” while in the throes of death.
Environmentalists suspected toxins released by dredging to expand a port in Teesside, a heavily industrial area, might have been responsible. Research last year by academics, backed by the fishing industry, suggested the industrial pollutant pyridine, possibly from dredging at the mouth of the River Tees, as a potential cause.
But a panel of scientists and industry experts set up by the British government said it found no evidence pollutants were to blame.
The group, chaired by Gideon Henderson, chief scientific adviser to the government’s environment department, said it was “very unlikely” that pyridine or another toxic pollutant caused the die-off.
“We just could not find evidence for high levels of pyridine in the coastal sea water,” said Lancaster University environmental chemist Crispin Halsall, who worked on the report.
The group concluded it was “about as likely as not” that a pathogen new to U.K. waters – a potential disease or parasite – caused the crab deaths. The scientists said they were unable to identify what pathogen, if any, was responsible.
“We’ve come up with probably more questions than answers,” Tammy Horton, a researcher at Britain’s National Oceanography Center who worked on the study, said.
She said it was “highly unlikely” there would be any human health implications from a pathogen of crab and “seafood would be safe to eat.” | 2023-01-20T15:47:10+00:00 | seattletimes.com | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/scientists-say-pollution-not-cause-of-uk-mass-crab-deaths/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all |
ZEELAND, Mich., Sept. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
- Strong sales growth of 37% over the prior year, up 12% organically
- Ended the quarter with a robust backlog of $868.6 million
- Continued progress with the integration of Knoll
Webcast to be held Wednesday, September 28, 2022, at 5:30 PM ET
First Quarter Fiscal 2023 Financial Results
To our shareholders:
Following a strong first year as MillerKnoll, we entered fiscal year 2023 well positioned to leverage our unique combination of business channels. During the first quarter, we launched our MillerKnoll sales organization and dealer network in North America, introduced more than a dozen new products at the company's first Design Days and continued to capture synergies through our integration work. We have built a solid foundation to meet the needs of our global customers and compete in a challenging environment.
One of MillerKnoll's competitive advantages is our broad collective of complementary design brands that are brought to market through a combination of contract and retail channels. We stand to benefit from our unique and diverse business model that has shown resiliency throughout a variety of headwinds.
We are seeing some degree of uncertainty today in the end markets that we serve. As the first quarter progressed, we began to experience economic softening in various regions in which we operate. Our first quarter financial results reflect how strong performance in different segments of our business helps to mitigate softness in others, and how our global reach and operations continue to provide opportunities for growth and some insulation from regional downturns.
MillerKnoll Consolidated Results
Effective May 29, 2022, we changed our reporting segments in accordance with changes in our organizational structure. The reportable segments now consist of three segments: Americas Contract ("Americas"), International Contract & Specialty ("International & Specialty"), and Global Retail ("Retail").
The first quarter of fiscal year 2023 included 14 weeks of operations as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, which was a standard 13-week period. The additional week is required periodically to more closely align the company's fiscal year with the calendar months. This is a factor that should be considered when comparing the company's first quarter financial results to the prior year period.
First quarter consolidated net sales were $1.08 billion, reflecting an increase of 36.6% on a reported basis and 12.3% organically compared to the prior year. Orders in the quarter of $1.01 billion were 10.5% higher on a reported basis and decreased 11.0% organically year-over-year.
Gross margin in the first quarter of 34.5% was 70 basis points lower than the same quarter last year on a reported basis and down 150 basis points on an adjusted basis. The variance was primarily due to higher commodity costs and other inflationary pressures, partially offset by the benefit from recently implemented price increases.
Consolidated operating expenses for the quarter were $321.3 million, compared to $330.3 million in the prior year. Consolidated adjusted operating expenses of $309.7 million, were up $74.5 million from last year, primarily due to the acquisition of Knoll and an extra operating week in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the year-ago quarter. These factors were partially offset by the progress in cost-saving initiatives.
Operating margin for the quarter was 4.7% compared to an operating loss of 6.7% for the year-ago quarter. On an adjusted basis, which excludes acquisition and integration-related charges, consolidated operating margin was 5.8% compared to 6.2% in the prior year.
We reported diluted earnings per share of $0.34 for the quarter, compared to a diluted loss per share of $0.92 for the same period last year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.44 for the first quarter, compared to $0.50 for the same period last year.
At the end of the first quarter, our liquidity position reflected cash on hand and availability on our revolving credit facility totaling $402.4 million.
Outlook
We expect sales in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 to range between $1,027 million and $1,067 million. The mid-point of this range implies a revenue increase of 2.0% compared to the same quarter last fiscal year on a reported basis and 5% on an organic basis. We anticipate earnings per share to be between $0.39 and $0.45 for the quarter.
Given the current macroeconomic backdrop, we are proactively taking additional steps to improve our near-term profit and cash flow outlook. These include offering a voluntary retirement window, further optimizing our organizational structure, reductions in program spending, and rationalizing capital expenditures. As a result of these planned actions, we expect to realize annualized expense reductions of approximately $30 million to $35 million. These savings should begin gaining traction during the third quarter and be more fully realized in the fourth quarter.
Solving Customer Needs Across the Globe Through Strong Brands and Complementary Channels
For the first quarter, the Americas Contract segment posted net sales totaling $537.4 million, up 40.9% compared to the year-ago quarter on a reported basis and up 14.7% organically. New orders in the quarter totaled $511.3 million, an increase of 3.2% from the same quarter last year on a reported basis and down 17.2% organically. The decline in orders year-over-year reflects the impact of pandemic-driven pent-up demand during the first quarter of fiscal 2022, which created a more challenging comparison. This was compounded by events in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, including customers piloting smaller orders, delays in projects due to understaffed dealer design groups, and customers' concerns about the potential for a global recession.
We have taken proactive steps to mitigate the factors affecting our results. Our recent price increases helped improve the gross margin performance of the segment, and we anticipate taking additional action in the near-term to further offset the impact of general inflationary pressures. We expect to gain traction as the price increases taken earlier this year are realized and a planned price increase in October begins to impact results.
The International Contract and Specialty segment delivered double-digit sales growth this quarter compared to the year-ago quarter. Net sales in the first quarter totaled $272.5 million, an increase of 63.1% from the year-ago period on a reported basis and up 30.0% organically. New orders in this segment totaled $252.4 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 30.8% on a reported basis and up 0.8% organically. From a market demand perspective, we saw strong order growth in India, South Korea and the Middle East, partially offset by softer demand in China and Central and Eastern Europe.
An important advantage of our business is that we have a global presence and the ability to take brands into new markets. Following the successful launch of our MillerKnoll dealer network in the United States, we are applying learnings and building the international MillerKnoll contract dealer network. Our international dealer cross-sell pilot now includes 41 dealers from 17 countries on three continents. We plan to expand our pilot to India, the Middle East, and Africa later this year.
Net sales in the first quarter for our Global Retail segment totaled $268.9 million, an improvement of 11.4% over the same quarter last year on a reported basis and down 3.7% organically. New orders in the quarter totaled $249.4 million, up 9.3% compared to the same period last year on a reported basis and down 7.7% organically. While the Global Retail segment continues to generate significantly higher profitability than prior to the pandemic, we are seeing softness in demand compared to last year as consumers shift their spending toward experiences. To manage the business through this environment and mitigate pressures, we are making investments in areas where we see the potential for value creation, including systems, tools, and capabilities, while carefully managing our overall cost structure. In addition, we are implementing targeted price increases and diligently monitoring their impact.
Our goal is to pace our capital spending appropriately to mitigate the impact of shifting consumer spending patterns without losing the momentum and market share we have gained. With this in mind, we are prudently spending on stores more gradually and closing underperforming stores. During the quarter, we opened six stores in New York, Los Angeles, Denver, and West Palm Beach in the United States, and Copenhagen, Denmark, and Nagoya, Japan.
We are also expanding our reach outside of our brick-and-mortar locations by prioritizing eCommerce to further build our business. On August 10, 2022, we launched our online Design Within Reach Trade Program, making it easier for interior designers and other trade members to access their discount and place orders. The majority of new members are new-to-file trade accounts. We are encouraged by the number of new members that have joined this program since its launch and believe it will yield incremental business.
Continued Progress Integrating the Knoll Acquisition
We have made great strides on the integration and continued progress toward our goal of delivering $120 million in cost synergies by the end of the third year following the close of the acquisition, having captured $80 million in run rate cost synergies at the end of the first quarter. We achieved significant savings through in-depth analysis of our cost structure and focusing on opportunities in areas such as procurement, logistics, technology, and manufacturing.
Driving Growth Through Product Innovation, Inclusive Design and Sustainability
During the first quarter, we launched a dozen new products across the collective of brands at the first MillerKnoll Design Days, including our Newson and Zeph task chairs at Knoll and Herman Miller, respectively, an innovative standing desk at Geiger, and ancillary lounge and outdoor furniture at Muuto.
In September, the company had several additional launches. Knoll introduced Inlet, a moveable screen that supports flexible workspaces with privacy and workspace delineation. Herman Miller launched a new version of the Eames Shell Chair with recycled materials and a Herman Miller X Hay collaboration, showing how the company can leverage design expertise across its portfolio of brands.
As we continue to grow and expand as a company, we can have a greater impact on the communities where we live and work. With that in mind, we recently launched the MillerKnoll Foundation by bringing together the legacy foundations of Herman Miller and Knoll. The MillerKnoll Foundation has three overarching philanthropic goals: engaging underrepresented youth in art and design, advancing equity in MillerKnoll's communities worldwide and doing more for our planet. In the months and years to come we expect to see this foundation make meaningful impacts locally, nationally, and globally.
We march into fiscal 2023 with pragmatism around short-term market shifts and optimism for our long-term growth prospects. We will continue to focus on what we can control and manage the business diligently. We have a capable and experienced management team to guide the business forward. Our team is committed to executing against the company's five strategic priorities: bringing MillerKnoll to life, building a customer-centric ecosystem that is digitally enabled, accelerating profitable growth, attracting, retaining and developing world-class talent, and reinforcing our commitment to our People, our Planet, and our Communities.
Thank you for your continued support of our company. We look forward to continuing this journey with you.
Financial highlights for the three months ended September 3, 2022 follow:
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Supplemental Data
This presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures that are not in accordance with, nor an alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and may be different from non-GAAP measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to the related GAAP measurement. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our presentation of non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items. We compensate for these limitations by providing equal prominence of our GAAP results. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are provided in the financial tables included within this presentation. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures are useful for investors as they provide financial information on a more comparative basis for the periods presented.
The non-GAAP financial measures referenced within this presentation include: Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss), Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Expenses, and Organic Growth (Decline).
Adjusted Earnings per Share represents reported diluted earnings per share excluding the impact from amortization of purchased intangibles, acquisition and integration charges, debt extinguishment charges, restructuring expenses, other special charges or gains and the related tax effect of these adjustments. These adjustments are described further below.
Adjusted Operating Earnings (Loss) represents reported operating earnings plus acquisition and integration charges, amortization of purchased intangibles, restructuring expenses and other special charges or gains. These adjustments are described further below.
Adjusted Gross Margin represents gross margin plus amortization of purchased intangibles and other special charges. These adjustments are described further below.
Adjusted Operating Expenses represents reported operating expenses excluding acquisition and integration charges, amortization of purchased intangibles, restructuring expenses and other special charges or gains. These adjustments are described further below.
Organic Growth represents the change in sales and orders, excluding currency translation effects and the impact of acquisitions and divestitures.
Amortization of purchased intangibles: Includes expenses associated with the amortization of inventory step-up and amortization of acquisition related intangibles acquired as part of the Knoll acquisition. The revenue generated by the associated intangible assets has not been excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure. We exclude the impact of the amortization of purchased intangibles, including the fair value adjustment to inventory, as such non-cash amounts were significantly impacted by the size of the Knoll acquisition. Furthermore, we believe that this adjustment enables better comparison of our results as Amortization of Purchased Intangibles will not recur in future periods once such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of additional intangible assets. Although we exclude the Amortization of Purchased Intangibles in these non-GAAP measures, we believe that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation.
Acquisition and integration charges: Costs related directly to the Knoll acquisition including legal, accounting and other professional fees as well as integration-related costs. Integration-related costs include severance, accelerated stock-based compensation expenses, asset impairment charges, and expenses related to other cost reduction efforts or reorganization initiatives.
Debt extinguishment charges: Includes expenses associated with the extinguishment of debt as part of financing the Knoll acquisition. We excluded these items from our non-GAAP measures because they relate to a specific transaction and are not reflective of our ongoing financial performance.
Restructuring charges: Include actions involving targeted workforce reductions.
Special charges: Special charges include certain costs arising as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tax related items: We excluded the income tax benefit/provision effect of the tax related items from our non-GAAP measures because they are not associated with the tax expense on our ongoing operating results.
Certain tables below summarize select financial information, for the periods indicated, related to each of the Company's reportable segments. The Americas Contract ("Americas") segment includes the operations associated with the design, manufacture and sale of furniture products directly or indirectly through an independent dealership network for office, healthcare, and educational environments throughout North and South America. The International Contract and Specialty ("International & Specialty") segment includes the operations associated with the design, manufacture and sale of furniture products, indirectly or directly through an independent dealership network in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific as well as the global operations of the Specialty brands, which include Holly Hunt, Spinneybeck, Maharam, Edelman, and Knoll Textiles. The Global Retail ("Retail") segment includes global operations associated with the sale of modern design furnishings and accessories to third party retailers, as well as direct to consumer sales through eCommerce, direct-mail catalogs, and physical retail stores. Corporate costs represent unallocated expenses related to general corporate functions, including, but not limited to, certain legal, executive, corporate finance, information technology, administrative and acquisition-related costs.

Sign up for The Brief, The Texas Tribune’s daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
In the U.S. House, the Rules Committee is an influential if little understood power player on Capitol Hill, providing its members with the clout to shape headline-making legislation and policy debates.
The Rules Committee is so important that Republicans, who hold 51% of the seats in the U.S. House, occupy nine of the committee’s 13 seats, or just under 70%.
Operating as a supermajority — typical for the party in power — gives Republicans outsized influence for a committee that sets the terms of floor debate and determines what amendments can be voted upon for major legislation.
But this year’s version of the committee is different because of the noticeable impact of three far-right conservatives — including U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas — whose membership was negotiated as part of the deal to make Kevin McCarthy speaker of the House in January.
Nothing displayed the new power dynamic more than when Roy helped convert the annual defense policy bill into a partisan vehicle for conservative priorities on abortion, climate change and diversity programs.
Roy was initially wary of joining the committee, knowing it would mean spending more time in Washington, slogging through late nights and long meetings.
The tradeoff was more power to affect legislation and achieve important policy goals, he said.
“I’m able to provide a perspective that matters,” he said.
When the House took up the National Defense Authorization Act in mid-July, Roy and two other ultraconservatives on the committee used their positions to push for floor votes on a number of divisive amendments, including:
- An amendment by Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Amarillo, that would end a Biden administration policy allowing the Pentagon to reimburse service members for abortion-related travel and other expenses.
- Roy’s amendment barring the Department of Defense from implementing President Joe Biden’s executive orders on climate change initiatives.
- Two amendments by Roy that would defund diversity, equity and inclusion programs and positions within the Pentagon.
The House, divided largely along party lines, approved these and other controversial amendments, and the defense authorization bill passed 219-210 with four Democrats voting in favor and four Republicans opposed.
Democrats criticized the final product, saying the conservatives’ red-meat amendments turned a typically bipartisan bill — known on Capitol Hill as the NDAA — into a political statement they could not support.
“The Rules Committee really did open up the floodgates for attacks on diversity, attacks on women, really wanted to roll back progress that we had made in prior NDAAs,” said Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-El Paso. “The most extreme voices shaped the NDAA, and as a result, it was a piece of legislation that the majority of us could not vote for.”
Escobar sits on the House Armed Services Committee and worked on the original legislation, which she described as a product of bipartisan compromise.
But Roy said previous defense bills were examples of bipartisanship for bipartisanship’s sake, and he shrugged off the lack of Democratic support.
“We’re putting forward products that we believe we can sell to the American people, differentiate us from Democrats and get the job done,” he said.
Another Texas Republican on the Rules Committee, Rep. Michael Burgess of Lewisville, said some of the controversial amendments were unlikely to have reached the floor without the advocacy from Roy and his allies.
“But that’s a good thing,” said Burgess, a Rules Committee member for nearly a decade and currently its vice chair.
Commonly known as the “Speaker’s committee,” the Rules Committee has traditionally been reserved for those loyal to the speaker, such as Burgess.
That dynamic changed this year with the inclusion of Roy and two other ultraconservative committee newcomers, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Kentucky, and Rep. Ralph Norman, R-South Carolina. With committee Democrats likely to oppose most GOP-proposed rules and amendments, support from Roy, Massie and Norman is critical for Republicans.
The new makeup of the Rules Committee allowed for “a whole bunch of really controversial votes” on the defense bill, said Scott Meinke, a professor at Bucknell University whose research focuses on legislative politics in Congress.
“It’s a really nice illustration of how that change in the Rules Committee makeup, and the larger dynamics in the Republican Party in the House this year, have changed the way this operates. They’ve weakened the Rules Committee’s ability to let the majority leadership control the floor,” Meinke said.
Although Roy, Massie and Norman have repeatedly leveraged their power to strongarm leadership into supporting their priorities, Burgess mostly dismissed the notion that the three new members have significantly shaken things up, arguing that there have been “significant conservatives,” including himself, on the committee for at least a decade.
Burgess denied being frustrated by their tactics but acknowledged that internal fights were difficult to avoid. “It’s going to be tough to win some nights, no question about it,” he said.
Roy belongs to the conservative House Freedom Caucus, which has frequently sparred with McCarthy in its attempts to force the Republican conference to the right. In one recent standoff, Freedom Caucus members delayed votes for several days over their opposition to the spending levels in the debt ceiling deal.
The narrow Republican majority in the House has put a premium on party unity, but some of the far right’s tactics have led to internal tensions. In a tweet shortly before the Rules Committee began working on the defense authorization bill, Roy addressed the tensions.
“To the @HouseGOP mad at me & my friends… 1) our borders are wide open. 2) we have held no one accountable for gross violations of the public trust. 3) our military is woke & decreasingly effective. 4) the American Dream is dying for the middle class. What will we do?”
In an interview, Roy said his goal is to work with the Rules Committee chair, Rep. Tom Cole, R-Oklahoma, but he also wants to make the committee more independent from the speaker.
“We try to make sure that the entirety of the conference is being represented,” he said.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — It is golf’s new power couple. Well, at least for the next few weeks.
After all, no other husband and wife is believed to have played in the men’s and women’s British Opens in the same year.
No wonder newlyweds Alex Wrigley and Johanna Gustavsson had wide smiles as they posed for photos on the Swilcan Bridge under bright sunshine near the end of a practice round on the Old Course at St. Andrews on Tuesday.
For Wrigley in particular, these are pinch-yourself moments after years of living in the shadow of the woman he married just a few weeks ago.
While Gustavsson, a Swede, has established herself as a leading player on the Ladies European Tour — she is third in the order of merit for 2022 — and has played in the women’s majors, Wrigley has spent more than a decade competing in regional qualifying events to get a chance to play at the British Open.
When he isn’t playing on the satellite tours across Europe, he teaches golf in both Sweden, where the couple lives, and in his native England. Among the people Wrigley coaches is Gustavsson, since 2016.
“Alex is always with me, supporting me in my career,” Gustavsson said at the back of the 18th green, standing proudly alongside her husband. “So it’s good he is getting to be in the center of everything this week.”
That’s because Wrigley finally got into the Open Championship this year after winning a playoff in final qualifying at nearby Fairmont St. Andrews last month.
Gustavsson was scheduled to be playing an LET event in the Netherlands this week. Those plans were immediately canceled — she was going to caddie for her husband at the home of golf.
“I just had to be here,” she said.
And there she was Tuesday, lugging Wrigley’s bag around the Old Course and offering advice to her husband only when asked.
“Johanna brings a lot of experience to the role — she has played in four or five majors already, in front of big crowds — so she is very calm in these sorts of situations,” Wrigley said, explaining the on-course dynamic between the couple. “I just want some of that to rub off on me if it can.
“I learn a lot from her, definitely from the psychological part of things. She is further on in her career, playing-wise, than I am and had more experience on the big stage.”
Wrigley, who earned around $7,000 from each of his two biggest wins as a pro, was nervous when he turned up at St. Andrews over the weekend, according to Gustavsson.
But she has seen him getting accustomed to crossing paths with the biggest names in the sport. On Tuesday, he played his practice round with 1999 champion Paul Lawrie, one group ahead of Rory McIlroy. On Sunday, Padraig Harrington and Shane Lowry joined Wrigley on the seventh hole and they played the rest of the round together.
“It is a different world,” Wrigley said, “but the more you spend time with them, you realize all these great players are normal people, too. They are down-to-earth people who are just really good at golf.”
Next week, normal order will resume. Gustavsson will be playing major golf at the Evian Championship and Wrigley will be watching her. It won’t be long before he’ll be back coaching, alternating between Orebro in Sweden and his home club in northeastern England, Hartlepool Golf Club.
“I have a loyal customer base in Hartlepool that keeps coming back to me,” he said.
Wrigley sure will have some stories to tell them at their next lessons.

Riverboat casino that sank in Mississippi River resurfaces amid historic drought
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Record-low water levels in the Mississippi River have unearthed a flurry of rare finds. The latest? The nation’s first riverboat casino that sunk during a storm last year.
The Diamond Lady, America’s first riverboat casino, set sail in 1991 and operated for a few years before a bigger riverboat replaced it. Wheel of Fortune’s Vanna White reportedly christened the paddlewheel boat before its maiden voyage took off from Bettendorf, Iowa 31 years ago.
It had been stored on the Mississippi River in Memphis, Tennessee, since 2008, but the Diamond Lady sank in 2021 during a winter freeze, according to WPSD. It wasn’t seen again until the Mississippi River receded to its lowest levels in 10 years.
River levels are so low, saltwater from the Gulf of Mexico is moving in, FOX Weather reports.
According to the Lower Mississippi River Forecast Center, water levels are at or below the low-water threshold along a nearly 400-mile stretch of the river from near where the Ohio River meets the Mississippi River south to near Vicksburg, Mississippi.
Other finds from a drought-stricken Mississippi River
Rare Civil War relics found lying in rocks along Mississippi River (Photo credit: Riley Bryant)
Also in Memphis, history lover and relics collector Riley Bryant made a fascinating discovery along the banks of the drought-stricken Mississippi River.
Bryant said the artifacts — a Civil War-era Union army cartridge box plate and bullets — were just sitting there among the rocks under the I-55 bridge waiting to be picked up.
Just weeks before Bryant made his discovery, a Baton Rouge, Louisiana, resident was walking along the Mississippi River there and found a shipwreck that’s more than 100 years old, FOX Weather reports.
According to Louisiana state archeologist Chris McGimsey, it belongs to a ferryboat called the Brookhill, which started sailing in the late 1880s or early 1890s. It was originally 250 to 300 feet long.
