(NEXSTAR) – A pair of Delaware lawmakers have introduced a new bill that would make it easier for some previously ineligible public workers to qualify for loan relief under a federal program. This is the latest attempt to make changes to the 15-year-old program as Americans await a decision on widespread student loan forgiveness by the Biden administration.
Senator Bob Menendez and Representative Donald Norcross, both Democrats from New Jersey, introduced the “Second Chance at Public Service Loan Forgiveness Act” on Thursday. The bill proposes fixing “long-standing problems” with the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, or PSLF, and allowing “millions of previously ineligible public servants” the chance to have their loans forgiven.
PSLF was created in 2007 to help certain workers in the public sector have their loans forgiven after 120 payments over 10 years. The number of applicants actually having their loans forgiven has been low: Just 1 in 5 of the 1.3 million borrowers pursuing debt discharge through PSLF are on track to see relief by 2026, according to a September report by the Student Borrower Protection Center.
In 2021, the U.S. Department of Education announced a change that temporarily waives specific PSLF requirements to grant borrowers credit toward loan cancellation regardless of their federal loan type or if they had been enrolled in a specific payment plan, as long as they consolidated their debt into a Direct Loan before the end of the waiver.
Prior to the waiver, borrowers needed to have a specific federal loan — a Direct Loan — to qualify for PSLF. Borrowers could consolidate their debt into Direct Loans for PSLF, but any payments made on the loans before consolidation didn’t count toward the required tally.
This waiver is currently set to expire after October 31, 2022, meaning eligible borrowers have less than four months to apply.
The newly proposed bill calls for the provisions in the PSLF waiver to be codified and for issues raised by borrowers and advocacy groups to be tackled. That includes allowing public servants with loans or public service before the program was created to qualify for relief, replacing the 120-payments requirement with 10 years of public service, ensuring Parent PLUS Loans qualify, expanding eligibility to those working 30 hours a week, and providing additional definitions of public service employment.
The act would also allow for teachers to qualify for both PSLF and the Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program simultaneously.
Last week, Rep. Joe Courtney (D-Conn.) introduced a similar bill to make it easier for public workers to have their student loans forgiven. The proposal includes cutting the amount of time it takes to get relief in half by reducing the number of payments needed to qualify for PSLF relief from 120 over 10 years to 60 over five years for borrowers working with an eligible employer. It would also allow previous payments made to count toward the necessary payments, regardless of loan type, payment plan, or if the payments were made on time.
Courtney’s bill would expand PSLF access for active-duty military and Peace Corp volunteers who had their loans placed in deferment while they were serving. Currently, certain loan deferments are not eligible for PSLF relief.
Additionally, under Courtney’s bill, parents with PLUS loans — otherwise known as Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students — or couples who joint-consolidated their loans into a Federal Family Education Loan, or FFEL, would be allowed to re-consolidated their loans into a Direct Loan, which would then be eligible for PSLF.
Earlier this month, the Biden administration proposed sweeping changes to the federal student loan system, including a permanent change to PSLF that would allow more payments to qualify for the program, including partial, lump-sum and late payments. It also would allow particular kinds of deferments and forbearances to count toward PSLF, and it would create a formal reconsideration process for applicants who were denied access to the program.
President Biden, when questioned about student loans on Wednesday, said he would make a decision “by the end of August.” The current payment pause on federal student loans is set to expire on August 31. | 2022-07-21T20:58:40+00:00 | upmatters.com | https://www.upmatters.com/news/national/lawmakers-propose-bill-to-give-public-workers-second-chance-at-student-loan-relief/ |

This story was originally published by ProPublica.
For well over a century, the oil and gas industry has drilled holes across California in search of black gold and a lucrative payday. But with production falling steadily, the time has come to clean up many of the nearly quarter-million wells scattered from downtown Los Angeles to western Kern County and across the state.
The bill for that work, however, will vastly exceed all the industry’s future profits in the state, according to a first-of-its-kind study published Thursday and shared with ProPublica.
“This major issue has sneaked up on us,” said Dwayne Purvis, a Texas-based petroleum reservoir engineer who analyzed profits and cleanup costs for the report. “Policymakers haven’t recognized it. Industry hasn’t recognized it, or, if they have, they haven’t talked about it and acted on it.”
The analysis, which was commissioned by Carbon Tracker Initiative, a financial think tank that studies how the transition away from fossil fuels impacts markets and the economy, used California regulators’ draft methodology for calculating the costs associated with plugging oil and gas wells and decommissioning them along with related infrastructure. The methodology was developed with feedback from the industry.
The report broke down the costs into several categories. Plugging wells, dismantling surface infrastructure and decontaminating polluted drill sites would cost at least $13.2 billion, based on publicly available data. Adding in factors with slightly more uncertainty, like inflation rates and the price of decommissioning miles of pipeline, could bring the total cleanup bill for California’s onshore oil and gas industry to $21.5 billion.
Meanwhile, California oil and gas production will earn about $6.3 billion in future profits over the remaining course of operations, Purvis estimated.
Compounding the problem, the industry has set aside only about $106 million that state regulators can use for cleanup when a company liquidates or otherwise walks away from its responsibilities, according to state data. That amount equals less than 1% of the estimated cost.
Taxpayers will likely have to cover much of the difference to ensure wells are plugged and not left to leak brine, toxic chemicals and climate-warming methane.
“These findings detail why the state must ensure this cost is not passed along to the California taxpayer,” state Sen. Monique Limón, a Santa Barbara Democrat who has written legislation regulating oil, said in a statement. “It is important that the state collect funding to plug and abandon wells in a timely and expeditious manner.”
Representatives of the state’s oil regulatory agency, the California Geologic Energy Management Division, did not respond to ProPublica’s request for comment on the report’s findings.
Rock Zierman, CEO of the California Independent Petroleum Association, an industry trade group, said in a statement that companies spent more than $400 million last year to plug and clean up thousands of oil and gas wells in the state. “This demonstrates their dedication to fulfilling their obligations and mitigating the environmental impact of their operations,” he said.
Fees on current oil and gas production will offset some of the liabilities, but they’re nowhere near enough to address the shortfall quantified by the new report.
“It really scares me,” Kyle Ferrar, Western program coordinator with environmental and data transparency group FracTracker Alliance, said of the report’s findings. “It’s a lot for the state, even a state as big as California.”
Industry in Decline
High oil prices have translated to huge profits for the industry in recent years, but Carbon Tracker’s report found that’s likely to be short-lived. Only two drilling rigs were operating in the state at one point this year, meaning few new wells will be coming online, and more than a third of all unplugged wells are idle.
Judson Boomhower, an environmental economist and assistant professor at the University of California, San Diego who has studied California’s oil industry, said there are inherent uncertainties in estimating future oil revenues. For example, one variable is how quickly the country shifts from internal combustion engine vehicles to electric. But, he said, Carbon Tracker’s estimates for environmental liabilities track with his research.
“It’s a state in the twilight of its production period, and that means big liabilities,” Boomhower said. He added that now is the time for regulators to prevent companies from offloading their wells to “thinly capitalized firms” unable to shoulder the cleanup.
As ProPublica reported last year, the major oil companies that long dominated in California and have the deep pockets necessary to pay for environmental cleanup are selling their wells and leaving the state, handing the task to smaller and less well-financed companies.
Roughly half of the wells drilled in California have changed hands through sales and bankruptcies since 2010, according to data Ferrar analyzed.
Smaller companies are often one bankruptcy away from their wells being orphaned, meaning they’re left to taxpayers as companies dissolve. The Biden administration recently committed $4.7 billion in taxpayer funds to plug orphan wells.
And the industry’s environmental liabilities in California are far bigger than Carbon Tracker’s report quantifies.
Purvis only included environmental liabilities associated with onshore oil and gas production. Billions of dollars more will be needed to plug offshore wells, remove rigs and reclaim artificial islands used for drilling off the coast of Long Beach, Ventura and Santa Barbara.
Additionally, the report did not quantify the emerging risk of “zombie wells,” which were plugged years ago to weaker standards and are likely to leak if they aren’t replugged. That’s an expensive endeavor, as the average cost to plug one well in California — to say nothing of cleaning up surface contamination — is $69,000, according to Purvis’ research. But some California wells have already begun failing, including in neighborhoods in Los Angeles.
“They’re Not Going to Have Money to Do It Later”
Time is running out to rectify the funding shortfall, for example by increasing the money companies must set aside for well plugging.
Carbon Tracker’s report — using state production data and financial futures contracts on the New York Mercantile Exchange — estimated that as production declines, 58% of all future profits from drilling oil and gas in the state are likely to come over the next two years.
“We have our backs up against the wall in California right now,” Ferrar said. “If companies don’t put money towards it now, they’re not going to have money to do it later.”
Environmental policies could accelerate the industry’s decline. California voters will decide on a ballot initiative in 2024 that would reinstate large buffer zones between communities and oil wells, limiting drilling.
Purvis said acting quickly to plug wells would also “stimulate economic activity” and help smooth the transition for oil and gas workers who stand to lose well-paying jobs in the shift away from climate-warming fossil fuels. Spending large sums to plug old wells would create short-term employment for oil field workers.
As California faces the consequences of its failure to quickly clean up aging oil and gas infrastructure, there are likely several million more wells around the country that are either low-producing or already orphaned and will soon need to be decommissioned.
“California’s going to be a test case or the leading edge of this,” Boomhower said. “This same problem is eventually going to manifest everywhere.” | 2023-05-18T14:14:08+00:00 | kvpr.org | https://www.kvpr.org/environment/2023-05-18/it-will-cost-up-to-21-5-billion-to-clean-up-californias-oil-sites-the-industry-wont-make-enough-money-to-pay-for-it |
Economists for Goldman Sachs said they do not expect the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates at its next meeting this month, citing the pressure that already increased rates have put on banks following the historic failure of Silicon Valley Bank.
“In light of the stress in the banking system, we no longer expect the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) to deliver a rate hike at its next meeting on March 22,” Goldman economist Jan Hatzius said in a Sunday report.
Goldman previously expected the Fed to hand down a 25-point hike this month, but analysts are tempering their expectations for rate increases after havoc in the banking industry was set in motion by the fall of Silicon Valley Bank.
The Fed has deployed interest rate hikes in an attempt to temper inflation in the economy, trying to slow down activity. But after the abrupt takeover of Silicon Valley Bank by federal regulators last week, many pointed to the pressure that rising interest rates put on the bank, which bought up near zero-interest bonds in years past and have seen them lose value with subsequent rate hikes.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell told lawmakers last week that recent economic numbers have shown that the cooling down in the economy in the past few months may have reversed, potentially necessitating more aggressive rate hikes in the near future. Strong job numbers from early this year have shown an economy that is stingy to the Fed’s cooling measures.
The federal government took steps to try to bolster depositor confidence in the banking system’s stability by deploying an insurance fund to ensure all depositors had full access to all of their money in Silicon Valley Bank on Monday.
Goldman analysts said they still expect the 25-point hikes in May, June and July. | 2023-03-13T16:52:40+00:00 | ksn.com | https://www.ksn.com/news/national-world/goldman-sachs-analysts-not-expecting-rate-hike-this-month-due-to-stress-on-banks/ |

BUCHAREST (AP) — Sweden and Finland have made some progress in meeting Ankara’s security concerns but still need to undertake “concrete steps” to win Turkey’s approval for their NATO membership bids, the Turkish foreign minister said Wednesday.
Meanwhile, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg underlined that “it is time to welcome them as full fledged members of the alliance.” The military alliance is eager to add the two Nordic nations to its ranks.
Sweden and Finland abandoned their longstanding policies of military nonalignment and applied for membership in the alliance after Russian forces invaded Ukraine in February, amid concerns that Russia might target them next.
Turkey, which has accused the Nordic countries of ignoring threats to Turkey from Kurdish militants and other groups that it considers as terrorists, has not endorsed their accession. The parliaments of Turkey and Hungary have yet to ratify their applications. The 28 other NATO states have already done so.
Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu met with his Swedish and Finnish counterparts in the sidelines of a NATO meeting in Bucharest on Tuesday.
“These two countries have taken some steps to fulfill their obligations. We do not ignore the steps that were taken,” Cavusoglu told Turkish journalists on Wednesday. “However, there is no concrete development yet on some issues such as the extradition (of suspects wanted by Turkey) and the freezing of terrorist assets.”
“We reminded (them) that in the end, it’s the Turkish people and the Turkish parliament that needs to be convinced,” he said.
The minister of Sweden and Finland sounded more upbeat.
Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billström told Sweden broadcaster SVT that “progress was being made” regarding NATO membership, and that he would soon travel to Turkey.
“Further discussions await there with my Turkish foreign minister colleague. I am also looking forward to having the opportunity to make reconciliations,” Billström said.
The minister added: “as the talks moves forward, we can probably eventually reach a point where the (Turkish) parliament can ratify” Sweden and Finland’s accession.
Finnish Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto told Finnish media that the discussions took place in a constructive, matter-of-fact spirit.
“We’ve received confirmation (from Turkey) that the conditions for Finland have also been fulfilled in many ways as previously agreed,” Haavisto told the Finnish public broadcaster YLE in comments published Wednesday.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he’s confident the two Nordic countries would soon join the alliance. He told reporters in Bucharest that relative to previous NATO enlargements, the current process “is happening in record speed.”
“Turkey, Sweden and Finland are engaging directly, as well as with NATO to make sure that Turkey’s concerns are fully addressed, including concerns about its security. That process has been moving forward and I’m very confident… that Finland and Sweden will soon be formally new members of the alliance,” he said.
Cavusoglu said Sweden’s new government was more “sincere” and “determined than the previous government” in meeting Turkey’s security demands and had made some legislative changes.
“We still need to see their implementation. Some laws will come into force with the new year,” Cavusoglu said. | 2022-11-30T20:31:53+00:00 | mytwintiers.com | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/world-news/ap-international/ap-turkey-more-steps-needed-for-nod-to-nordic-states-nato-bid/ |
TOKYO (AP) — The assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in broad daylight Friday shocked a world that has come to associate Japan with relatively low crime and strict gun control.
Japan’s longest-serving prime minister, Abe was shot in the back while campaigning in the city of Nara for parliamentary candidates. He died at a hospital, two days before the election.
The suspect apparently circumvented the nation’s ultra-tight gun regulations by building his own weapon. Police said the 15-inch (40-centimeter) device was obviously homemade, and one expert compared it to a muzzle-loading gun. Authorities confiscated similar weapons when they raided the suspect’s nearby one-room apartment.
The motive of the man, who was taken into custody at the scene, remained unclear.
Fatal gun violence is virtually unheard of in Japan, and most Japanese go through life without ever handling, or even seeing, a real gun. Stabbings are more common in killings.
Major universities have rifle clubs, and Japanese police are armed, but gun ownership rights have been a distant issue for decades. Even police rarely resort to firing their pistols.
With a population of 125 million, the country had just 10 gun-related criminal cases last year, resulting in a single death and four injuries, according to police. Eight of those cases were gang-related.
The densely populated capital of Tokyo had zero gun incidents, injuries or deaths during that same year, although 61 guns were seized there.
“Japanese people are in a state of shock,” said Shiro Kawamoto, professor at the College of Risk Management at Nihon University in Tokyo.
“This serves as a wake-up call that gun violence can happen in Japan, and security to protect Japanese politicians must be re-examined,” Kawamoto said. “To assume this kind of attack will never happen would be a big mistake.”
Abe’s security team may face serious questions. But because such attacks are extraordinary in Japan, relatively light security is the norm, even for former prime ministers.
In remarks in Washington, U.S. President Joe Biden described the “profound impact” of the shooting “on the psyche of the Japanese people.”
“This is a different culture — they’re not used to” gun violence “as unfortunately we are. Here in the United States, we know how deep the wounds of gun violence go from communities that are affected. And this assassination is a tragedy that all the people of Japan are feeling.”
Japan’s last high-profile shooting occurred in 2019, when a former gang member was shot at a karaoke venue in Tokyo.
Under Japanese law, possession of firearms is illegal without a special license. Importing them is also illegal. The same rules apply to some kinds of knives and certain other weapons, like crossbows.
People who wish to own firearms must go through a stringent background check, including clearance by a doctor, and declare information about family members. They must also pass tests to show they know how to use guns correctly. Those who pass and purchase a weapon must also buy a special locking system for it at the same time.
Passing those hurdles will allow a license holder to shoot at clay targets. Hunting requires an additional license.
The weapon used in the attack on Abe was probably a “craft-made” firearm, according to N.R. Jenzen-Jones, the director of Armament Research Services, a specialist arms investigations firm.
He compared the weapon to a musket in which the gunpowder is loaded separately from the bullet.
“Firearms legislation in Japan is very restrictive, so I think what we’re seeing here, with what’s probably a muzzle-loading weapon, is not just an attempt to circumvent the control of firearms, but also the strict control of ammunition in Japan,” he said.

The world’s deepest shipwreck — the USS Samuel B. Roberts (DE-413), also known as the Sammy B — has been discovered by explorers this week.
The wreckage was identified and surveyed by American explorer Victor Vescovo, founder and sub pilot of Dallas-based Caladan Oceanic Expeditions alongside Britain-based EYOS Expeditions.
“It was an extraordinary honor to locate this incredibly famous ship, and by doing so have the chance to retell her story of heroism and duty to those who may not know of the ship and her crew’s sacrifice,” Vescovo said in a statement.
“Resting at 6,895 meters, it is now the deepest shipwreck ever located and surveyed,” Vescovo later tweeted, adding that he was joined on the expedition by a sonar specialist, Jeremie Morizet.
“It appears her bow hit the seafloor with some force, causing some buckling. Her stern also separated about 5 meters on impact, but the whole wreck was together,” he added. “This small ship took on the finest of the Japanese Navy, fighting them to the end.”

Photos shared online by Vescovo show the ship’s bow and fallen mast engulfed in blue water and indicate where the vessel was likely hit by a battleship round during the Battle off Samar, the final engagement of the larger Battle of Leyte Gulf in 1944.
The Sammy B took part in the large naval battle in October 1944, which involved an improbable victory in the waters surrounding the Philippines. Several small U.S. destroyers and destroyer escorts, outnumbered, engaged the Imperial Japanese Navy, including its huge Yamato battleship — forcing it into retreat.
However, after expending virtually all her ammunition stores, the Sammy B was critically hit by a Japanese battleship and sunk, along with other U.S. vessels, including the USS Johnston.
The USS Johnston previously held the record for the deepest shipwreck found in history and was also surveyed by Vescovo and his team in March 2021, at 6,469 meters below sea level. Vescovo, a former U.S. Navy reserve intelligence officer, has also made three dives to the Titanic.
The Sammy B was taken into battle by Lt. Cmdr. Robert W. Copeland and possessed fewer guns and torpedoes than her counterparts, according to Caladan, with 89 of its 224 crew ultimately killed.
“This site is a hallowed war grave,” said retired Rear Adm. Sam Cox, head of the Naval History and Heritage Command in Washington. All data related to the dive including sonar maps, video and photographs, will now be donated to the U.S. Navy, the team said.
The Caladan Oceanic and EYOS group conducted six dives over eight days searching for shipwrecks from June 17 until Friday and initially located debris that was positively identified as belonging to the Sammy B before uncovering the entire wreck.
“Using a combination of detective work and innovative technology, everyone has pulled together to reveal the final resting place of this tenacious ship,” said expedition leader Kelvin Murray of EYOS in a statement.
“It’s been a challenging, thrilling and poignant expedition. … We are all proud of what has been achieved and humbled by what we witnessed,” he added.
The group is now on its way to Guam to begin further expeditions in the Western Pacific. | 2022-06-25T14:11:56+00:00 | washingtonpost.com | https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/06/25/uss-samuel-roberts-sammy-deepest-shipwreck/ |
WASHINGTON (AP) —
President Joe Biden is highlighting his administration's efforts to protect access to abortion as he marks 100 days since the Supreme Court overturned a national right to the procedure and Democrats hope the issue will galvanize their voters ahead of the midterm elections.
Biden on Tuesday will attend the second meeting of the Cabinet-level task force he stood up to coordinate the government's response to the ruling, the White House said, and will announce two new steps meant to “protect access to reproductive health care."
Still, Biden is set to remind Americans that only Congress can restore access to abortion nationally, which forms a central argument of Biden's pitch to voters frustrated by the Supreme Court ruling to send Democrats to Washington.
The Education Department is sending guidance to universities reminding them that federal law requires that they “protect their students from discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, including pregnancy termination.” The Department of Health and Human Services will also release $6 million in new funding to promote family planning services.
In conjunction with the meeting, Jennifer Klein, the director of the White House's Gender Policy Council and the leader of the White House task force, issued a new memo to Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris outlining the effects of the Dobbs v. Jackson decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade and allowed states to ban abortion.
“Close to 30 million women of reproductive age now live in a state with a ban — including nearly 22 million women who cannot access abortion care after six weeks, before most women know they are pregnant,” she wrote. “Extreme abortion bans are having consequences that extend beyond abortion, including reports of women being denied access to necessary prescriptions and contraception at pharmacies and on college campuses.” | 2022-10-04T09:58:13+00:00 | lmtonline.com | https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/Biden-marks-100-days-since-Dobbs-ruling-as-Dems-17485282.php |

SAMARKAND, Uzbekistan (AP) — Chinese President Xi Jinping warned his Central Asian neighbors on Friday not to allow outsiders to destabilize them with “color revolutions" and offered to set up a regional counterterrorism training center.
Xi’s comments at a security summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and leaders from Central Asia, India and Iran reflect official Chinese anxiety that Western support for pro-democracy and human rights activists is a plot to undermine Xi's ruling Communist Party and other authoritarian governments.
“We should prevent external forces from instigating a color revolution,” Xi said in a speech to leaders of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, referring to protests that toppled unpopular regimes in the former Soviet Union and the Middle East.
Xi offered to train 2,000 police officers, to set up a regional counterterrorism training center and to “strengthen law enforcement capacity building.” He gave no details.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization was formed by Russia and China as a counterweight to U.S. influence. The summit is part of Xi's first trip abroad since shortly after the coronavirus pandemic began 2 1/2 years ago, highlighting the importance to Beijing of asserting itself as a regional leader.
The group also includes Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Iran is an observer and has applied for full membership.
The one-day summit in the ancient city of Samarkand occurred against a backdrop of Russia's attack on Ukraine and fighting between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, a “dialogue partner” of the group, attended the summit and planned to hold talks with Putin on the status of a deal under which wheat exports from Ukraine through the Black Sea resumed.
Xi is promoting a “Global Security Initiative” announced in April following the formation of the Quad by the U.S., Japan, Australia and India in response to Beijing’s more assertive foreign policy. Xi has given few details, but U.S. officials complain it echoes Russian arguments in support of Moscow’s actions in Ukraine.
China's relations with Washington, Europe, Japan and India have been strained by disputes about technology, security, human rights and territory.
Central Asia is part of China’s multibillion-dollar Belt and Road Initiative to expand trade by building ports, railways and other infrastructure across an arc of dozens of countries from the South Pacific through Asia to the Middle East, Europe and Africa.
On Thursday, Putin held a one-on-one meeting with Xi and thanked the Chinese leader for his government's “balanced position” on the Ukraine war. Putin said he was ready to discuss unspecified “concerns” by China about Ukraine.
Xi, in a statement released by his government, expressed support for Russia's “core interests” but also interest in working together to “inject stability” into world affairs.
The Xi-Putin meeting “makes clear that the partnership between China and Russia indeed has limits,” said Eurasia Group analysts in a report.
Xi’s government, which said it had a “no-limits” friendship with Moscow before the attack on Ukraine, has refused to criticize Russia. Beijing and India are buying more Russian oil and gas, which helps Moscow offset Western sanctions.
“China has never approved of the Russian invasion” but is committed to “deepening strategic ties with Moscow as a counterweight to Western influence,” they said.
China wants a negotiated end to the Ukraine war, said Li Xin, director of the Institute of European and Asian Studies of Shanghai University of Political Science and Law.
“China will not judge whether the special military operation of Russia is just or not,” Li said.
The reference to stability “is mainly related to China-U.S. relations,” said Zhang Lihua, an international relations expert at Tsinghua University.
“The United States has been using all means to suppress China, which forced China to seek cooperation with Russia and the role of the SOC,” Zhang said.
After the meeting, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said views on international affairs by Moscow and Beijing “fully coincide. We don’t have any differences.”
Observers say Russia will likely grow increasingly reliant on China as a market for its oil and gas as the West moves to establish a price cap on Russian energy resources and potentially cut their imports altogether.
Russia was forced to pull back its forces from large swaths of northeastern Ukraine last week amid a swift Ukrainian counteroffensive. Ukraine regaining control of several Russian-occupied cities and villages represented Moscow’s largest setback since its forces had to retreat from areas near the capital early in the war.
Putin also met with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, whose country is on track to join the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Raisi said Moscow and Tehran were finalizing a treaty that would bring their relations to a “strategic level.” | 2022-09-16T11:52:39+00:00 | seattlepi.com | https://www.seattlepi.com/business/article/China-s-Xi-calls-for-effort-to-prevent-color-17445902.php |
BLANCHARD, Okla. (AP) — Jody Miller, whose “Queen of the House” won the 1966 Grammy Award for best country performance by a woman, died Thursday at age 80.
Miller died in her hometown of Blanchard, Oklahoma, of complications from Parkinson’s disease, according to Universal Music Group, owner of Capitol Records, which released most of her hits.
“Queen of the House” was released in 1965 as an answer to Roger Miller’s hit “King of the Road.” The hit opened up a crossover career for Jody Miller, who wasn’t related to the “King of the Road” composer and singer.
Her 1965 teen protest song “Home of the Brave” was her biggest-selling single, despite being banned from some radio stations’ playlists. Another hit was “Long Black Limousine,” a song about a man’s funeral procession.
In the 1970s, Miller moved to Epic Records, where she had hits with “Baby I’m Yours,” There’s a Party Goin’ On,” “Darling, You Can Always Come Back Home,” and the Grammy-nominated crossover hit cover of “He’s So Fine.”
She retired in the 1980s to spend more time with her husband and children. After her husband’s death, she recorded a 2018 single, “Where My Picture Hangs on the Wall,” with daughter Robin Brooks Sullivan and Miller’s two grandchildren. | 2022-10-07T14:53:59+00:00 | wnct.com | https://www.wnct.com/entertainment-news/ap-queen-of-the-house-singer-jody-miller-dies-at-age-80/ |

Leslie County Motorcycle Riders club making sure kids receive presents this holiday season
HAZARD, Ky. (WYMT) - The Leslie County Motorcycle Riders club (LCMR) is making sure 20 kids’ Christmas wish list comes true.
Five kids who needed it most were chosen from each Leslie County elementary school to go on a field trip to the Hazard Walmart to shop with a biker.
“We are wanting to see the smile on their faces,” said Rod Couch, the president of the Leslie County Motorcycle Riders club.
Many smiling faces left Walmart on Tuesday with bags full of toys, clothes and personal items to take home and enjoy this holiday season. One member of the LCMR said finally getting to meet the kids and shop with them was the ultimate gift.
“We bought for the children, but we got so much more in return it’s not even close,” said member of the LCMR, Nick Walker.
Kim Melton, wife of one of the LCMR members said they have been planning this event all year and it made her emotional seeing the joy the kids had Tuesday morning.
“I was so thankful that the school participated. Very thankful that they entrusted us bikers to go with these children and help them pick out gifts,” he said.
Members of LCMR said they hope this event grows each year and they will be able to shop with even more kids next year.

Israel's prime minister delays judicial overhaul after mass protests
Bending to a wave of mass protests, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delayed his contentious judicial overhaul plan Monday and said he wanted "to avoid civil war" by making time to seek a compromise with political opponents.
The announcement appeared to calm some of the tensions that have fueled three tumultuous months of unrest. But it failed to address the underlying issues that have polarized the nation, and the anti-government protest movement vowed to intensify its efforts.
Video above: Prime Minister Netanyahu says legislation paused until after Knesset's Passover recess in April
In his prime-time address, Netanyahu, who had previously rejected calls to delay the legislation, took a more conciliatory tone than in recent speeches. He acknowledged the deep divisions in the country and said he was hitting the pause button "to prevent a rift in the nation."
"When there's an opportunity to avoid civil war through dialogue, I, as prime minister, am taking a timeout for dialogue," he said. He vowed to reach a "broad consensus" during the summer session of parliament, which begins on April 30.
He spoke after tens of thousands of Israelis demonstrated outside parliament, and the country's largest labor union launched a nationwide strike in a dramatic escalation of the mass protest movement against his plan.
Netanyahu and his religious and ultranationalist allies presented the overhaul in January just days after forming their government, the most right-wing in Israel's history.
The proposal has plunged Israel into its worst domestic crisis in decades. Business leaders, top economists and former security chiefs have all come out against the plan, saying it is pushing the country toward an autocracy. Fighter pilots and military reservists have threatened not to report for duty, and the country's currency, the shekel, has tumbled in value.
The plan would give Netanyahu, who is on trial on corruption charges, and his allies the final say in appointing the nation's judges. It would also give parliament, which is controlled by his allies, authority to overturn Supreme Court decisions and limit the court's ability to review laws.
Netanyahu has argued that the overhaul is needed to rein in a liberal and overly interventionist court of unelected judges. But his opponents say the package would damage the country's system of checks and balances by concentrating power in the hands of Netanyahu's allies. They also say that he has a conflict of interest as a criminal defendant.
Tens of thousands of people, largely secular, middle-class Israelis, have regularly joined mass protests against the plan.
Those demonstrations ramped up Sunday night after Netanyahu abruptly fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who had urged the prime minister to put his plan on hold, citing concerns about damage to the Israeli military.
The firing sparked a spontaneous outburst of anger, with tens of thousands of people taking to the streets in just one hour.
Chanting "the country is on fire," they lit bonfires on Tel Aviv's main highway, closing the thoroughfare and many others throughout the country for hours.
Video below: Hear from individuals who are against the judicial overhaul plan
Demonstrators continued Monday outside the Knesset, or parliament, turning the streets surrounding the building and the Supreme Court into a roiling sea of blue-and-white Israeli flags dotted with rainbow Pride banners.
"This is the last chance to stop this move into a dictatorship," said Matityahu Sperber, 68, who joined a stream of people headed to the protest outside the Knesset. "I'm here for the fight to the end."
Israel's main trade union, the histadrut, declared a general strike in what it said was the first time it has carried out such an action over a political issue.
The chaos shut down much of the country and threatened to paralyze the economy. Departing flights from the main international airport were grounded, stranding tens of thousands of travelers.
Large mall chains and universities closed their doors, and the union called for its 800,000 members to stop work in health care, transit, banking and other fields.
Diplomats walked off the job at foreign missions, and local governments were expected to close preschools and cut other services. The main doctors union announced that its members would also strike.
In a sign of easing tensions, the union said late Monday that it was halting the strike in response to Netanyahu's delay.
The announcement appeared to buy the embattled Netanyahu several weeks of quiet. But it was far from clear whether the disputes could be resolved.
The country's figurehead president, Isaac Herzog, said pausing the legislative blitz was "the right thing."
"This is the time for frank, serious and responsible discussion that will lead urgently to calming spirits and lowering the flames," he said.
Opposition leader Yair Lapid said he was willing to hold a "genuine dialogue" under Herzog's sponsorship.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, an ultranationalist who has pushed for quick passage of the package, said he would respect the delay but showed few signs of compromise.
"The reform will pass," he tweeted. "No one will scare us."
The first of a series of laws — giving the coalition control over judicial appointments — had been scheduled to pass this week.
Before Netanyahu's speech, some 20,000 right-wing Israelis attended a counter demonstration in support of the prime minister. That demonstration also took place near parliament and passed without violence.
"They won't steal the election from us," read a flyer for event, organized by Religious Zionist party. Netanyahu said he was "moved" by the show of support.
Shikma Bressler, one of the leaders of the anti-government protest movement, said the campaign would continue until the legislation is canceled.
"This is just an attempt to weaken the protests in order to enact Netanyahu's dictatorship," she said. "Now is not the time to reduce the pressure, but to increase it."
Dozens of protesters from rival sides faced off late Monday in central Tel Aviv. The sides, kept apart by police, exchanged insults, but there was no violence. Police used a water cannon to disperse anti-government protesters.
Video below: White House press secretary comments on Israel's judicial reform controversy
Israel's Palestinian citizens have largely sat out the protests. Many say Israel's democracy is tarnished by its military rule over their brethren in the West Bank and the discrimination they themselves face.
The Biden administration, which has been uneasy with Netanyahu and the far-right elements of his government, welcomed the announcement as "an opportunity to create additional time and space for compromise," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters.

DALLAS (AP) — Rookie center Wyatt Johnston scored his 24th goal and the Dallas Stars ended their regular season with a 1-0 victory over St. Louis on Thursday night, then had to wait another day to see if they would win the Central Division title.
The Stars (47-21-14) won their sixth game in a row to finish with 108 points, putting them one point ahead of Colorado for the division lead.
The Avalanche finished off a 4-2 win in their home finale soon after Dallas finished, and also have a makeup game to play Friday night at Nashville. Dallas holds the tiebreaker over Colorado with more regulation wins.
Stars goalie Jake Oettinger had 25 saves for his fifth shutout of the season. He stopped four shots in the final two minutes when St. Louis pulled its goalie for an extra skater.
St. Louis (37-38-7) was already eliminated from the playoff contention, but the loss in its finale also snapped the franchise record of consecutive winning seasons at 14. The Blues hadn’t had a losing season since 2007-08. The NH’s longest active streak is Pittsburgh’s 17 in a row, though the Penguins missed the playoffs as well.
The 19-year-old Johnston, who played all 82 games, initially took a shot that deflected off a skate before Evgenii Dadonov's had a shot that ricocheted off the right post. Johnston knocked the rebound past Jordan Binnington 3:45 into the third period for his third goal in two nights against the Blues.
Johnston's 24 goals are the most of a Stars rookie since James Neal also had 24 in 2008-09. He has the most goals for a teenager in the franchise since Mike Modano's 29 as a 19-year-old rookie in 1989-90.
Binnington stopped 33 shots while playing in his 61st game, a single-season career high. He withstood several flurries of shots, including in the opening minutes when he turned away a short-hander.
NOTES: Stars forward Mason Marchment played for the first time since March 13 after missing 14 games with a lower body injury. Coach Pete DeBoer said it was “a chance to get his timing, get some contact, get all those things you can’t replicate in practice. .. .It’s an important step for him.”
UP NEXT
Blues: Season done after missing the playoffs for only the second time in 12 years.
Stars: Will open the playoffs at home early next week.

Got questions about the GOP plan to overhaul federal health law? Join us on Twitter Thursday 12-1 p.m. ET for our #ACAchat. Kaiser's Julie Rovner, NPR's Alison Kodjak and health policy analysts of various political persuasions will be online discussing how the Republican plan could work, who wins and who loses. See you there!
After literally years of promises, House Republicans have a bill they say will "repeal and replace" the Affordable Care Act.
Some conservative Republicans have derided the new proposal — the American Health Care Act — calling it "Obamacare Lite." It keeps intact some of the more popular features of the ACA, such as allowing adult children to stay on their parents' health plans to age 26 and, at least in theory, ensuring that people with pre-existing conditions will still have access to insurance.
In some cases the elements of the law that remain are due to political popularity. In others, it's because the special budget rules Congress is using so Republicans can avoid a Senate filibuster do not allow them to repeal the entire law.
But there are some major changes in how people would choose and pay for health care and insurance. Here are some of the biggest.
Tax credits to help buy insurance
Both the GOP bill and the ACA provide tax credits to help some people pay their premiums if they don't get insurance through work or government programs. And in both, the credits are refundable (meaning people who owe no taxes still get the money) and advanceable (so people don't have to wait until they file their taxes to get them). But the GOP's tax credits would work very differently from those already in place.
Under current law, the amount of the credit is tied to a person's income (the less you earn the more you get) and the cost of insurance where you live.
The GOP tax credits would be tied largely to age, with older people getting twice as much ($4,000 per year) as younger people ($2,000). But the Republican plan would also let insurers charge those older adults five times as much as younger adults, so even a credit twice as big might not make up the difference in premiums.
The GOP credits also do not vary by location, so they would be worth more in places where health care and health insurance are less expensive.
The GOP credits do phase out gradually, starting with incomes above $75,000 for an individual and $150,000 for families.
Medicaid
The biggest changes the Republican bill would make are to the Medicaid program. Starting in 2020, it would roll back federal funding for the ACA's expansion that allowed states to provide Medicaid coverage to all low-income individuals under 138 percent of the poverty level, rather than just the specific categories of poor people (children, pregnant women, elderly, disabled) who were previously eligible.
Thirty-one states opted to expand access to Medicaid. People who are covered under the expansion would continue to be funded by the federal government after that, but states would no longer be allowed to enroll anyone under those expanded criteria. And an enrollee who loses eligibility for the expansion program could not re-enroll.
But the bill would go further as well, making changes to the underlying Medicaid program that House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Greg Walden, R-Ore., described as "the biggest entitlement reform in the last 20 years."
Currently, Medicaid costs are shared between states and the federal government, but the funding is open-ended, so the federal government pays its percentage of whatever states spend. Under the proposed bill, the amount of federal funding would be capped on a per-person basis, so funding would go up as more people qualify. But that per-capita amount might not grow as fast as Medicaid costs, which could leave states on the hook for an ever-increasing share of the costs of the program.
"Capping federal contributions to the Medicaid program will likely force states with already tight budgets to limit eligibility and cut benefits to at-risk Americans," said the American Public Health Association in a statement.
Help for wealthier people
If you earn a lot of money, or even just enough to put aside something extra for health expenses, the GOP bill will provide a lot to like.
First, it would repeal almost all of the taxes that were increased by the ACA to pay for the expansion of health coverage. Those include higher Medicare taxes for high-income earners, a tax on investment income and various taxes on health care providers, including insurance companies, makers of medical devices and even tanning salons.
The bill would also provide new tax advantages for those who can afford to save, including allowing more money to be deposited into health savings accounts, and lower penalties for those who use those accounts to pay for nonmedical needs.
In addition, the plan would lower the threshold for deducting medical expenses on income taxes and allow people with job-based tax-preferred "flexible spending accounts" to put away more pretax money. It would also restore over-the-counter drugs as eligible for reimbursement from those accounts.
Mandates to buy or provide coverage
The GOP plan doesn't actually repeal the requirements for individuals to have coverage or for employers to provide it. That's because it can't under budget rules. Instead, the bill would reduce the penalties in both cases to zero, rendering the requirements moot.
The individual requirement was used by the health law to force healthy people into buying coverage to help improve insurers' risk pools since they could no longer bar customers with pre-existing conditions.
Instead, the Republican plan would provide a penalty for those who do not maintain "continuous coverage." Those with a break in insurance coverage of more than 63 days could still purchase insurance without regard to pre-existing health conditions, but they would be required to pay premiums that are 30 percent higher for 12 months.
The employer "mandate," which requires firms with 50 or more workers to offer coverage or pay a fine, has actually had relatively little impact on insurance coverage, analysts have concluded, and probably is not necessary to prevent employers from dropping coverage. In both the ACA and the GOP bill, however, workers whose employers offer coverage could not decline that coverage and get a tax credit instead.
How to pay for it
With all the taxes and fees stripped from the ACA, how will Republicans pay for their tax credits? The answer is not clear.
"We are still discussing details, but we are committed to repealing Obamacare and replacing it with fiscally responsible policies that restore the free market and protect taxpayers," said the Republican fact sheet that accompanied the release of the bill.
Also still missing is an estimate from the Congressional Budget Office that will detail not only how much the proposal will cost, but also how many people would gain or lose health insurance. Republicans insist that estimate will be available before the full House votes on the bill.

The Biden administration is rescinding the Trump-era termination of extending temporary legal status for thousands of immigrants from four countries, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Tuesday.
The Trump administration ended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations for immigrants from El Salvador, Honduras, Nepal, and Nicaragua in May 2018, effective January 2020.
On Tuesday, the DHS announced an 18-month extension of TPS designations from these four countries. Beneficiaries from the countries will be able to re-register to continue their status throughout the extension.
The DHS, which said it is closely monitoring conditions to assess if the TPS designations are appropriate, is acting “relevant to the litigation challenging the now-rescinded terminations,” according to the agency.
“Through the extension of Temporary Protected Status, we are able to offer continued safety and protection to current beneficiaries who are nationals of El Salvador, Honduras, Nepal, and Nicaragua who are already present in the United States and cannot return because of the impacts of environmental disasters,” DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement.
The DHS said the explanation of eligibility criteria, timelines and procedures necessary for current beneficiaries to re-register for TPS will be published in the Federal Register soon.
For beneficiaries from El Salvador, the extension is from Sept. 10, 2023, through March 9, 2025, and will allow about 239,000 immigrants to re-register to retain their TPS. For beneficiaries from Honduras, the extension is from Jan. 6, 2024, through July 5, 2025, and will allow about 76,000 immigrants to re-register to retain TPS.
Additionally, beneficiaries from Nepal will have an extension from Dec. 25, 2023, through June 24, 2025, and will allow 14,500 immigrants to re-register and beneficiaries from Nicaragua will have an extension from Jan. 6, 2024, through July 5, 2025, and allow about 4,000 immigrants to re-register. | 2023-06-13T17:34:24+00:00 | cbs4indy.com | https://cbs4indy.com/hill-politics/biden-administration-extending-temporary-legal-status-for-300k-immigrants-trump-sought-to-end/ |

BOONE COUNTY, Ind. — Three people, including two teens, were injured during a Tuesday afternoon crash involving a van and a backhoe in Boone County.
The Boone County Sheriff’s Office said a 911 call came in about 4 p.m.. of a vehicle accident with entrapment on US 52 at the intersection of County Road 650 North.
A Thorntown Sugar Creek Township firefighter was near the crash, and was able to get everyone out and began first aid.
The driver of the backhoe, 80-year-old Edward Shelley of Thorntown, was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
The van contained six volleyball players from Lafayette going to a Sports Complex in Plainfield to play in a league game. The players are home schooled.
The van driver, 19-year-old Sara Edwards, was taken to a local hospital for minor injuries. A 14-year-old juvenile that was in the van was flown to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The other van passengers were not injured.
According to the sheriff’s office the preliminary investigation shows that the backhoe was crossing US 52 when it was struck by the southbound van.
The intersection was closed for several hours as the Boone County Sheriff’s Office FACT team responded and investigated the crash.
The crash is still under investigation and no drugs or alcohol are believed to be involved. | 2022-09-27T22:26:12+00:00 | fox59.com | https://fox59.com/news/3-injured-in-boone-county-crash-involving-a-van-and-a-backhoe/ |

What Thompson All-Star selection would mean for Cubs originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
Keegan Thompson is tied for the major-league lead in wins, and if he had 4 2/3 more innings his 1.99 ERA would rank fifth in the National League.
What he’s been for the Cubs two months into the season is “special,” said teammate Alec Mills, and amounts to “a weapon,” said manager David Ross.
And it’s the stuff of All-Star selections — which would be the stuff of unicorns for this franchise.
Not that any of that had crossed Thompson’s mind, even in quiet, reflective moments.
“It had not,” he said. “Until just now.”
Local
Until some damn writer mentioned the possibility to him after he beat the Cardinals 7-5 with his longest career outing Thursday night.
“It would be a cool experience,” he said, “but it’s just something you can’t think about because you might be worrying about that instead of just getting your work in every day.”
Thompson, who has jockeyed with All-Star favorite Willson Contreras for the team lead in WAR (baseball-refererence.com) all season, has joined the Cubs rotation because of injuries to Wade Miley and Drew Smyly just in time to take his 6-0 start to the season into a bona fide All-Star drive with the selection process starting this month.
He doesn’t have qualifying innings because Thursday’s victory was just his fourth start as the team’s swingman and top spot starter. If he did, his 1.08 WHIP also would be among the league leaders.
A selection for Thompson would be more than “cool” for his own career. It would be at least a symbolic big step for a front office trying to shake its well-earned reputation for some of the worst pitching development in the game the last decade.
It’s a subject that hasn’t been this relevant in years as the Cubs go through a second rebuild in a decade. And it’s one that is especially topical now as the pitching prospect they acquired for Kris Bryant last summer — Caleb Kilian — is poised to make a likely big-league debut on Saturday.
But even Kilian doesn’t represent what Thompson does, as a homegrown player drafted in the third round out of Auburn in 2017.
Thompson, who showed flashes as a rookie last year, would be the first homegrown All-Star pitcher developed by the Theo Epstein-Jed Hoyer front office.
And the last homegrown Cubs pitcher to earn a selection — holdover Jeff Samardzija in 2014 — was traded by this front office two days before his selection was announced.
You have to go back to 2008 for the last time the Cubs had a homegrown pitcher who was still on the team when he was selected and consequently wearing the uniform for the game — when three guys made it, all of whom are now out of baseball: Carlos Zambrano, Kerry Wood and Carlos Marmol.
Thompson has a long way to go to become the next one. And it’s certainly not fair to put the expectation on him.
But it’s also not hard to see the significance for a franchise rebuilding under Hoyer for the second time in a decade — failing to sustain the success after the last rebuild largely because of its pitching-development failures.
“We were aggressive to spend. We were aggressive to trade prospects,” said Hoyer, who succeeded Epstein as team president before last season. “And as we were trading those prospects, we weren’t developing that next wave underneath it. That hurt us.”
Specifically on the pitching side. The Cubs in 2019, for instance, spent more on their store-bought pitching staff ($138 million) than the Orioles and Rays did on their entire rosters combined because the system produced nothing competitive.
So it’s hard to understate what it might mean this time around if Kilian is the real deal, if Justin Steele can find a role to fill at a championship level, if first-round picks Jordan Wicks and Ryan Jensen hit, if Matt Swarmer can replicate what he did in Monday’s debut.
And just maybe if Thompson becomes an All-Star?
“I’m just trying not to think about that and just going in and getting my work done,” he said.
Ross isn’t making any commitments to Thompson’s role as a starter. But neither Miley (shoulder strain) and Smyly (oblique) have solid timelines for their returns; Smyly suggested Thursday his might take the four to five weeks it took for him to return from an oblique injury as a rookie 10 years ago.
“Look, I like outs,” Ross said when asked what he likes about Thompson in that role after raving about him as a multi-inning reliever in April and much of May. “I don’t care how we get them or where they come from. He’s done a good job of doing that.
“I love that his confidence built up in the offseason. He came in, had a great spring, took over that middle-relief role giving us some length out there, and is just kind of having a great season so far.”
Thompson, a starter throughout his career, said “it’s going to be fun” to get the chance to be back in that routine for at least a few weeks.
Whether it leads to a place along the third-base line at Dodger Stadium in July for All-Star introductions, it’s been an MVP pitching performance for the Cubs the first two months of the season.
“What he’s doing is obviously special,” Mills said. “It’s impressive.” | 2022-06-03T07:39:51+00:00 | nbcchicago.com | https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/why-keegan-thompson-all-star-selection-might-be-even-bigger-for-cubs/2848768/ |
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa says the fight against corruption and work to improve the country’s faltering economy have been endorsed by the ruling African National Congress party in order to improve its declining electoral support.
Ramaphosa on Sunday addressed the close of the party’s national policy conference where it discussed what is must do to address the country’s challenges, including the high poverty levels, 35% unemployment rate and rising inflation.
“The conference has agreed that we need to allocate extraordinary and militant measures to accelerate increasing growth, create employment and alleviate poverty,” said Ramaphosa.
“We have also noted with great concern the impact of the rising cost of living on South African families,” said Ramaphosa of the country’s inflation rate of 7.4%.
The policy meeting, seen as a preview to its conference in December where it will elect new leaders, was attended by more than 2,000 delegates.
According to Ramaphosa, the delegates also expressed concern about the country’s electricity crisis, which has resulted in nationwide rolling power cuts which have hit businesses and households as the state power utility Eskom fails to keep the lights on.
The delegates supported the government’s efforts to address the power cuts.
“We have recognized that our economic progress requires a secure supply of affordable and sustainable energy,” said Ramaphosa.
“The conference has endorsed the actions recently announced by the government to improve the performance of Eskom’s existing power stations and to add new generation capacity to the grid as quickly as possible,” said Ramaphosa.
The party’s contentious step-aside policy, which requires party leaders accused of corruption to step down from their positions, was endorsed by the conference despite some opposition from rival factions within the party.
Delegates from the KwaZulu-Natal province who remain loyal to former President Jacob Zuma, have argued that the step-aside rule is not implemented consistently and is used by Ramaphosa to silence political rivals.
The policies agreed on at the conference are expected to be adopted at the national conference in December, where Ramaphosa will be seeking re-election as the party’s leader. | 2022-07-31T20:15:28+00:00 | cenlanow.com | https://www.cenlanow.com/news/ap-top-headlines/south-africas-anc-says-economy-corruption-are-priorities/ |
Former UNDP chief and Turkish minister dies at 74
ISTANBUL (AP) — Kemal Dervis, a Turkish economist, politician and former head of the United National Development Program, has died. He was 74. Prior to his work as the head of the UNDP, Dervis became a household name in 2001 when he left the World Bank to serve as the Minister of Economic Affairs until late 2002. From that post, he would orchestrate a successful three-year economic recovery plan in the wake of the worst economic crisis in the country’s modern history, introducing sweeping structural and banking reforms. He has also authored many books on economic development. | 2023-05-08T15:37:15+00:00 | krdo.com | https://krdo.com/news/ap-national-news/2023/05/08/former-undp-chief-and-turkish-minister-dies-at-74/ |
SANTA FE, N.M. (KRQE) – Prosecutors are downgrading charges filed against actor-producer Alec Baldwin and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed in connection to the fatal “Rust” movie set shooting. According to newly filed court documents, Baldwin and Guiterrez-Reed will now only face an involuntary manslaughter charge without a firearm enhancement penalty.
If convicted, the now-dropped enhancement could have carried an additional five-year minimum prison sentence on top of the typical sentence. Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed now only face the standard penalty for involuntary manslaughter: up to 18 months in jail and a $5,000 fine.
The filing comes just days before Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed are required to attend a first hearing on Friday, Feb. 24. Both Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed are expected to attend the proceeding through a remote video link.
In another filing earlier this month, Baldwin’s defense argued that the firearm enhancement did not exist in state law when the shooting occurred in October 2021. The enhancement became law in May 2022. Following Baldwin’s initial filing, the Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altweis said her team was reviewing the claim.
Carmack-Altweis has handed prosecution of the case to former District Attorney Andrea Reeb. Baldwin’s defense is also challenging Reeb’s presence on the case, seeking to have her dismissed. A judge has yet to make a decision on that filing.
Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed are accused in the Oct. 21, 2021, shooting death of film cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. She was killed at the Bonzana Creek Ranch near Santa Fe after being shot by a gun Baldwin was handling during a rehearsal.
The film’s assistant director David Halls is also facing a charge in the case, but has agreed to a plea deal. He will face a judge during an in-person hearing on March 8, 2023. Halls handed the gun to Baldwin before the shooting.
Last week, the film’s production company reported it will restart work on “Rust” this spring with old and new crew members, including Baldwin. The company, Rust Movie Productions, also says it will work with another team that’s planning to release a documentary on the life of the film’s slain cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. | 2023-02-20T22:09:22+00:00 | cbs4indy.com | https://cbs4indy.com/news/national-world/charges-against-alec-baldwin-downgraded-in-rust-shooting-case/ |
Tennessee fan says win over Alabama caused her to go into labor
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT/Gray News) - A woman in Tennessee says last weekend’s thrilling game between the Tennessee Volunteers and Alabama Crimson Tide caused her to go into labor.
Vols fan Jordan Johnson said she watched her team beat Alabama from her home in Chattanooga and, at 38 weeks pregnant, began to feel contractions but wasn’t focused on them enough to know what was happening.
“I was like, I don’t know what’s happening with my body right now. I’m sitting here on the couch watching this game,” Johnson said.
It didn’t set in until she went to bed that night and the adrenaline from the game wore off, but she knew her daughter was on the way.
WVLT reports at 38 weeks, it’s not uncommon to go into labor, but the Chattanooga native said she believes it was her screaming, jumping and cheering during the game that induced labor that night.
“I think me jumping up and down picked things up. They say that you can walk and induce contractions to get things going, but I was clearly jumping up and down and doing a bit more than walking,” said Johnson.
A few hours after midnight, Johnson gave birth to her third child, a daughter named Heidi Chase. A middle name that endured a lot of debate but ultimately, Johnson decided to give Heidi the middle name of Chase after Tennessee kicker Chase McGrath, who made the game’s winning field goal.
“When we put together Heidi Chase, we loved it, but it was going to be between that and Heidi Jean which was my grandmother’s middle name. And we loved them both so much we couldn’t decide. So at about day two in the hospital, we put both names in a cup and shook them up, and it came down to the last minute, and Chase won again,” said Johnson.
McGrath saw Johnson’s story and congratulated her on social media while acknowledging her daughter’s name.
Tennessee football passion runs deep in the family. In 2018, Neyland Stadium was where Johnson got engaged to her husband.
With the addition of Heidi Chase, Johnson said the Vols fandom would only grow stronger.

Choosing the best nasal spray for seasonal allergies
The changing of seasons is often accompanied by undesirable side effects known as seasonal allergies. Seasonal allergies plague many people due to the sudden presence of specific plant pollen that only appears during certain times of the year.
Allergies can make us feel under the weather, but you don’t have to let irritating allergies ruin your fun plans. Nasal sprays are an effective way to relieve common allergy symptoms like congestion, sneezing and runny nose. We’ve included our top nasal spray picks for seasonal allergies so you can decide which one is best for you.
Shop this article: Afrin Original Maximum Strength Nasal Congestion Relief, Nasacort Allergy 24HR Nasal Spray, Xlear Xylitol Saline Nasal Spray
Types of nasal sprays
There are many different types of nasal sprays, all with different pros and cons. Figuring out which type of nasal spray is best for you will help you narrow down your choices.
Decongestant nasal sprays
Decongestant nasal sprays work by temporarily shrinking the blood vessels inside your nasal passages, which often cause allergy symptoms and sinus pressure. Common decongestant nasal sprays include Afrin, Dristan and Sinex. While these tend to work quickly, you should not use them longer than three to five days, as prolonged use is not recommended.
Steroid nasal sprays
The most common type is a steroid nasal spray. These nasal sprays contain corticosteroids which work to reduce inflammation. Some well-known steroid nasal sprays are Nasacort and Flonase. These aren’t fast-acting and instead work better after consistent use.
Saline nasal sprays
Saline sprays are great for those who want a natural approach to relieving their allergy symptoms. They contain no medication and are just a simple saline solution that works by flushing out your nasal passages. Because they are non-medicated, they may not reduce all allergy symptoms.
Antihistamine nasal sprays
When you have an allergic reaction, your body produces histamines to get rid of the foreign invader, which could be pet dander, dust mites or seasonal allergens. The histamines cause typical allergy symptoms like sneezing, itching and runny nose. An antihistamine blocks the effects of histamine. These are only available by prescription.
How to use nasal sprays
While most nasal sprays have similar instructions, it’s vital to check the instructions on your nasal spray for specific instructions before following any other advice.
- Wash your hands.
- Clear your nasal passages by gently blowing your nose.
- Check your instructions to see if priming the bottle is necessary.
- Close the opposite nostril you plan on spraying.
- Breathe in deeply while spraying.
- Check instructions for the number of sprays necessary and if it needs to be repeated.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — The world’s biggest shipping company, Denmark’s A.P. Moeller-Maersk, said Wednesday that it had delivered its “best earnings quarter ever,” driven by higher freight rates and more contracts being signed.
The Copenhagen, Denmark-based company said its revenue for the first three months of the year came in at $19.3 billion, up from $12.4 billion for the same period last year. Profits before taxes came in at $7.3 billion, up from $3.1 billion a year ago.
Maersk reported that the financial impact of Russia’s war in Ukraine amounted to $718 million in the first quarter. The company, which announced that it was withdrawing from Russia, said it completed its last cargo operation in a Russian port Monday.
It said it has started the process to sell its 30.75% stake in Global Ports Investments, which operates six terminals in Russia and two in Finland.
CEO Søren Skou said that while global supply chains remain under significant pressure, “we continue to demonstrate superior ability to help customers overcome logistic challenges.”
The company added that its financial performance for the year “depends on several factors and is subject to uncertainties related to the situation in Russia and Ukraine, COVID-19, bunker fuel prices and freight rates, given the uncertain macroeconomic conditions.”
Maersk operates in 130 countries and employs about 95,000 people. | 2022-05-04T21:47:30+00:00 | krqe.com | https://www.krqe.com/news/business/shipping-company-maersk-sees-record-quarter-as-demand-surges/ |

UVALDE, Texas (AP) — Two Uvalde city police officers passed up a fleeting chance to shoot a gunman outside Robb Elementary School before he went on to kill 21 people inside the school, a senior sheriff’s deputy told The New York Times.
That would mean a second missed opportunity for officers to stop Salvador Ramos before the May 24 rampage inside the school that killed 19 children and two teachers. Officials said that a school district police drove past Ramos without seeing him in the school parking lot.
The unidentified officers, one of whom was armed with an AR-15-style rifle, said they feared hitting children playing in the line of fire outside the school, Chief Deputy Ricardo Rios of nearby Zavalla County told the newspaper.
The officers’ chance of stopping Ramos passed quickly, perhaps in seconds, Rios said.
Messages from The Associated Press to Rios and the Zavala County Sheriff’s Office have not been returned. The Zavala County sheriff’s officials responded to the shooting in support of Uvalde and Uvalde County officers.
Rios said he had shared the information with a special Test House committee investigating the school massacre.
Uvalde police officials agreed Friday to speak to the committee investigating, according to a Republican lawmaker leading the probe who had begun to publicly question why the officers were not cooperating sooner.
“Took a little bit longer than we initially had expected,” state Rep. Dustin Burrows said.
On Thursday, Burrows signaled impatience with Uvalde police, tweeting that most people had fully cooperated with their investigation “to help determine the facts” and that he didn’t understand why the city’s police force “would not want the same.” He did not say which members of the department will meet with the committee, which is set to continue questioning witnesses in Uvalde on Monday about the attack that killed 19 students and two teachers.
Uvalde police did not reply to messages seeking comment.
Weeks after one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history, law enforcement officials have stopped providing updates about what they’ve learned about the shooting and the police response. Their silence comes after authorities gave conflicting and incorrect accounts in the days after the shooting, sometimes withdrawing statements hours after making them.
Officials also haven’t released records sought under public information laws to media outlets, including The Associated Press, often citing broad exemptions and the ongoing investigation. It has raised concerns about whether such records will be released, even to victims’ families.
The state House committee has interviewed more than a dozen witnesses behind closed doors so far, including state police, school staff and school district police. The list of witnesses provided by the committee so far has not included Pete Arrendondo, the Uvalde school district police chief, who has faced criticism over his actions during the attack.
Burrows defended the committee interviewing witnesses in private and not revealing their findings so far, saying its members want an accurate account before issuing a report.
“One person’s truth may be different than another person’s truth,” Burrows said Friday.
Since the shooting, Republican leaders in Texas have called for more mental health funding but not new gun restrictions. Authorities say the 18-year-old gunman used and AR-15-style semi-automatic rifle. Police did not confront he gunman for more than an hour, even as anguished parents outside the school urged officers to go in.

NEW YORK (AP) — Keep an eye to the sky this week for a chance to see a planetary hangout.
Five planets — Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus and Mars — will line up near the moon.
WHERE AND WHEN CAN YOU SEE THEM?
The best day to catch the whole group is Tuesday. You’ll want to look to the western horizon right after sunset, said NASA astronomer Bill Cooke.
The planets will stretch from the horizon line to around halfway up the night sky. But don’t be late: Mercury and Jupiter will quickly dip below the horizon around half an hour after sunset.
The five-planet spread can be seen from anywhere on Earth, as long as you have clear skies and a view of the west.
“That’s the beauty of these planetary alignments. It doesn’t take much,” Cooke said.
DO I NEED BINOCULARS?
Maybe. Jupiter, Venus and Mars will all be pretty easy to see since they shine brightly, Cooke said. Venus will be one of the brightest things in the sky, and Mars will be hanging out near the moon with a reddish glow. Mercury and Uranus could be trickier to spot, since they will be dimmer. You’ll probably need to grab a pair of binoculars.
If you’re a “planet collector,” it’s a rare chance to spot Uranus, which usually isn’t visible, Cooke said. Look out for its green glow just above Venus.
DOES THIS HAPPEN OFTEN?
Different numbers and groups of planets line up in the sky from time to time. There was a five-planet lineup last summer and there’s another one in June, with a slightly different makeup.
This kind of alignment happens when the planets’ orbits line them up on one side of the sun from Earth’s perspective, Cooke said.

PARIS (AP) — Riot police fired tear gas and pepper spray at Liverpool supporters forced to endure lengthy waits to get into the Champions League final which was delayed for 37 minutes as security struggled with frustrated crowds at the Stade de France on Saturday.
As Liverpool lost the showpiece game of the European season to Real Madrid 1-0, UEFA put the blame for blocked turnstiles on thousands of fans who purchased fake tickets. The competition organizers did not identity where they were from and Liverpool said it was “hugely disappointed” with the security issues experienced by its fans.
Angry Liverpool fans held in the lines were seen hanging onto railings and heard shouting: “Let us in. We’ve got tickets.”
There were many instances of fans breaking through security and attempting to get into the stadium. The Associated Press saw two fans — one was wearing Liverpool attire — wrestled to the ground by stewards and bundled out of the gates.
Three more fans were seen evading stewards and sprinting through the concourse and into the bottom level of the stadium. Other people, wearing no obvious club attire, climbed the fences instead as Liverpool fans shouted at them to get down.
The final kicked off despite fans still trying to get through ticket checks. Fresh rounds of tear gas were fired by riot police from inside the security perimeter at people outside the fences. Police and stewards were seen falling to the ground, impacted by the eye-irritating substances.
Supporter Colm Lacey saw “children crying, people trapped” outside the entrances.
“People started jumping the queue, then they ripped the gate open and then there was a push,” Lacey said.
About 15 minutes before the scheduled kickoff of 9 p.m. local time, an announcement was made that there would be a delay, blaming the late arrival of fans to the stadium. It was greeted by jeers inside the stadium, given those fans had already endured long queues. The game eventually started at 9.37 p.m.
“We’ve been stood at this gate since 6:15,” Liverpool fan Angela Murphy told the AP through a fence. "I’ve got really bad asthma and I’ve been tear gassed twice. I’m really struggling.”
Asked what provoked the tear gassing, Murphy replied: “Nothing, we’re stood here. There was nothing. It’s just been horrendous. We have been well behaved.”
Police officers with batons and riot shields ran from gate to gate to prevent pockets of fans forcing their way into the stadium without showing tickets. One policeman collapsed to the ground and had to be helped by other officers. Officers used tear gas on Liverpool fans on repeated occasions.
One Liverpool fan kissed his ticket and looked to the sky after finally getting through security.
Liverpool supporter Joe Moorcroft complained about being treated like animals.
“It’s a disgrace. We’ve seen this before, it’s a risk to health,” he said. “We’ve seen this and it’s going to happen all again. I feel it now. They threw tear gas in the fans.”
UEFA said it was “sympathetic to those affected” and it announced an urgent review by French police and authorities along with the French Football Federation.
“In the lead-up to the game, the turnstiles at the Liverpool end became blocked by thousands of fans who purchased fake tickets which did not work in the turnstiles,” UEFA said in a statement.
“This created a buildup of fans trying to get in. As a result, the kickoff was delayed by 35 minutes to allow as many fans as possible with genuine tickets to gain access. As numbers outside the stadium continued to build up after kickoff, the police dispersed them with tear gas and forced them away from the stadium.”
Liverpool wants a formal investigation.
“We are hugely disappointed at the stadium entry issues and breakdown of the security perimeter that Liverpool fans faced,” the club said in a statement. “This is the greatest match in European football and supporters should not have to experience the scenes we have witnessed tonight.”
The scenes were reminiscent of the chaos outside Wembley Stadium before the European Championship final last year. That was largely due to England fans aggressively trying to get into their home stadium for the game that Italy won.

The quarterly report, made possible by its Dynamic Defense™ service, demonstrates significant progress in mitigating domain abuse among its top-level domains (TLDs).

(The Hill) – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed a bill on Thursday that will allow new roads in the state to be built with “radioactive” mining waste that has been linked to cancer.
HB 1191 adds phosphogypsum to a list of “recyclable materials” that can be used for the construction of roads. The list also includes ground rubber from car tires, ash residue from coal combustion byproducts, recycled mixed-plastic, glass and construction steel.
Phosphogypsum, a waste product from manufacturing fertilizer, emits radon — a radioactive gas, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The material also contains radioactive elements such as uranium, thorium and radium.
Radon is second to smoking as a leading cause of lung cancer. The gas has been linked to 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year in the U.S, according to the EPA.
The agency previously confirmed to CBS News that the mining waste — leftover material from phosphate rock — is potentially cancer-causing. The material is stored in gypstack systems in an effort to prevent it from coming in contact with people and the environment.
The bill also noted that the state’s Department of Transportation will have to conduct a study to “evaluate the suitability” of its use, adding that it “may consider any prior or ongoing studies of phosphogypsum’s road suitability in the fulfillment of this duty,” according to CBS News.
The department’s study must be completed by April 1, 2024.
Phosphate mining has been an ongoing problem in the state in recent decades. In 2021, a breach at Piney Point, a former phosphate mining facility in Manatee County, resulted in 215 million gallons of water with environmentally toxic levels of nutrients ending up in the Tampa Bay area with a 10-day span.
In a statement, Florida and Caribbean director and attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity Elise Bennett said the bill is “reckless handout to the fertilizer industry.”
“Gov. DeSantis is paving the way to a toxic legacy generations of Floridians will have to grapple with,” Bennett told CBS News. “This opens the door for dangerous radioactive waste to be dumped in roadways across the state, under the guise of a so-called feasibility study that won’t address serious health and safety concerns.” | 2023-06-30T18:20:08+00:00 | keloland.com | https://www.keloland.com/news/national-world-news/desantis-signs-bill-allowing-new-roads-to-be-built-with-mining-waste-linked-to-cancer/ |
SESTRIERE, Italy (AP) — Wendy Holdener had a lengthy wait for her first slalom victory. The Swiss skier made it two out of two on Sunday.
And this time she didn’t have to share top spot.
Holdener improved on her second position after the opening run to triumph in Sestriere, finishing 0.47 seconds ahead of Mikaela Shiffrin of the United States and 0.70 ahead of first-run leader Petra Vlhová, who is still looking for her first win of the season.
“It is amazing. I can believe it, but it is unreal I guess. My second run was the best run I showed in a race actually,” Holdener said.
The 29-year-old Holdener was the surprise joint winner in Killington, Vermont, last month along with Anna Swenn Larsson. It was Holdener’s first slalom victory after finishing in the top three 30 times for the unwanted record of most World Cup podium finishes without a win in the discipline.
“I am quite exhausted but I think I had some really good turns and some things to fix for the next slalom,” Shiffrin said. “Anyway, it is a step from Killington and a step in the right direction. It was two really difficult days, there was some really impressive skiing from Wendy (Holdener) and a really impressive weekend from Petra.
“I had a lot of fatigue from yesterday … You just try to recover the best you can. Today, I am mostly happy with my performance but not really satisfied.”
Holdener moved joint top of the slalom standings with Shiffrin, who won the two season-opening slalom races. She also moved into second overall, 19 points behind Shiffrin and 26 ahead of Vlhová.
The 27-year-old Vlhová won the slalom title last season — as well as Olympic gold — but finished second in the overall standings to Shiffrin. Vlhová won the overall title the previous year.
Behind the top three in Sestriere, there was a surprise performance from Hanna Aronsson Elfman, with the Swedish teenager just missing out on a first ever podium.
Aronsson Elfman was 16th after the first run but posted the fastest time of the day in the second and sat in the leader’s chair until the last three skiers finally bested her.
The 19-year-old’s previous best finish in a World Cup race was ninth in the season-opening slalom. She had never finished higher than 15th before this season.

Milwaukee police chase stolen Amazon van: video
MILWAUKEE - A stolen Amazon van was involved in a Milwaukee police chase Friday afternoon, March 17. A 32-year-old man was arrested.
Police said it started near 65th and Lancaster around 1:35 p.m. The 32-year-old demanded the keys to the van from a delivery driver, got in and drove off.
Officers later spotted the van more than three miles away near 60th and Meinecke and tried to pull it over, but the man refused.
SIGN UP TODAY: Get daily headlines, breaking news emails from FOX6 News
Viewer video showed the van drive over a boulevard near the Mitchell Park Domes and an officer throwing what appear to be stop sticks.
The chase ended near 27th and St. Paul when the man stopped in a gas station parking lot where he was arrested.
Viewer video shows Amazon van involved in apparent police chase
Surveillance video showed at least 10 officers surround the truck. A gas station employee told FOX6 News the officers had their guns drawn.
Criminal charges will be referred to the district attorney's office.
Statement from Amazon spokesperson:
"We’re thankful the delivery driver involved is safe, and we’re cooperating with local law enforcement as they investigate." | 2023-03-18T18:16:41+00:00 | fox10phoenix.com | https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/milwaukee-police-chase-amazon-van |
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea on Friday said the latest fever cases detected in its border region with China were tested to be influenza, not coronavirus infections as initially feared.
The report by North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency came a day after the North said it locked down unspecified areas in Ryanggang province after four people had fevers that were suspected to be COVID-19.
North Korea maintains it has had no confirmed coronavirus cases since Aug. 10, when leader Kim Jong Un declared a widely disputed victory over the virus, just three months after the country acknowledged an omicron outbreak.
KCNA said diagnostic tests of samples, the nature of the symptoms, and information gained from contract tracing led health workers to conclude that the fevers were caused by influenza. The patients have since returned to normal temperatures, it said.
North Korean officials lifted the lockdown but urged residents to maintain vigilance by continuing to wear masks and reporting to health authorities immediately if they experience fever symptoms.
While Kim claimed that the country’s success against the virus would be recognized as a global health miracle, experts believe North Korea has manipulated disclosures on its outbreak to help him maintain absolute control. The victory statement signals Kim’s aim to move to other priorities, including a possible nuclear test, experts say.
After admitting to a coronavirus outbreak in May, North Korea reported about 4.8 million “fever cases” across its mostly unvaccinated population of 26 million but only identified a fraction of them as COVID-19. Experts say the country’s official death toll of 74 is abnormally small, considering the country’s lack of public health tools.
North Korea dubiously insists that rival South Korea was responsible for its COVID-19 outbreak and has warned of “deadly” retaliation, saying that the virus was transported by anti-Pyongyang propaganda leaflets and other materials flown across the border by balloons launched by South Korean civilian activists. South Korea has dismissed such claims as unscientific and “ridiculous.” | 2022-08-26T19:39:16+00:00 | wearegreenbay.com | https://www.wearegreenbay.com/health-2/ap-health/ap-north-korea-says-new-fever-cases-were-flu-not-covid-19/ |

Police have cited the husband of a woman killed in a fatal crash in East Hempfield Township in March.
East Hempfield Township police filed a summary traffic violation against Bruce Hubbs, 75, for failing to stop at a stop sign at Lititz and Lancaster roads on Tuesday, March 29. The intersection is about half a mile from Root's Market, two miles north of East Petersburg and just over three miles south of Manheim.
The Lancaster County District Attorney's Office on Thursday released findings from the investigation that went for more than four months after the crash. Bruce Hubbs was driving a Mercedes-Benz sedan when he tried to cross the intersection. A tractor trailer was traveling northbound on Route 72 slower than the posted speed limit of 55 mph at the time, according to the release.
Bruce Hubbs "attempted to cross the intersection when the truck was approximately 80-90 feet away, which was determined to be too close for the truck operator to react and avoid the collision," according to the release.
Jeannie Hubbs, 75, was a passenger in the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene. Lancaster County Coroner Dr. Stephen Diamantoni later ruled she died of multiple traumatic injuries and her death was accidental. An obituary indicates Jeannie Hubbs was Bruce Hubbs' wife.
Police did not cite the driver of the tractor trailer.
The crash happened over a month after the crash at the same intersection that killed 10-year-old Libby Miller. The district attorney's office also released the findings of that investigation on Thursday.
The roughly 5-mile stretch of Route 72 between Manheim and East Petersburg has seen multiple other crashes resulting in deaths or serious injuries.
Last year a 21-year-old motorcyclist was killed after crashing with two other vehicles, one of them a public works vehicle, near Quarry Road on Oct. 25; and a brother and sister, ages 21 and 18, were killed after being struck by a car-carrying tractor-trailer near Graystone Road in East Petersburg on May 22. Three people were also hospitalized with traumatic injuries after a head-on crash near Hillside Avenue in Penn Township on Sept. 3.
East Hempfield Township officials have since announced an emergency response plan to address the fatalities at one intersection along Route 72 less than two miles away from the crash that killed Brandie and Leonard Kasper. | 2022-08-18T17:01:16+00:00 | lancasteronline.com | https://lancasteronline.com/news/local/driver-cited-following-investigation-into-fatal-march-crash-on-route-72-in-east-hempfield-township/article_70afc3ee-1f06-11ed-ba73-a3e1a8da4727.html |

As switches and servers move to higher bandwidth ports utilizing 56G PAM4 signaling, passive copper cables cannot serve all lengths needed. Instead of deploying optical interconnects that are much higher power and more costly, data center operators are looking to Active Copper Cables (ACCs) to serve this growing need. The use of 56G PAM4 signaling is growing significantly for Hyperscale data center interconnects. Total 56G PAM4 interfaces are expected to continue to increase, reaching over 150 million interface shipments by 2024.1
Spectra7's GaugeChanger™ is an innovative technology that allows copper to extend much longer lengths without the cost and power penalty of optics or DSP-based retimed copper solutions. It works equally well at 25G NRZ, 56G PAM4 and 112G PAM4 signaling, enabling new connector standards of 100, 200, 400, 800Gbps and 1.6Tbps.
DesignCon is the premier high-speed interconnect and system design conference attended by engineers from around the world. Spectra7 will be exhibiting in booth #509.

(NewsNation) — Two people who were reported missing after not coming home from a Nevada music and car show have been found dead, authorities said.
Juan Almanza Zavala, 36, and Janette Pantoja, 29 were coming home from a music and car show in Reno, Nevada, on Aug. 6, a local TV station reported. The two, who dated for years and still maintained a good relationship according to their families, were last seen driving a blue Ford Explorer.
Nevada County Sheriff’s Office confirmed a man and a woman were found after a man called 911 saying he spotted a vehicle down an embankment Wednesday night. Both bodies were found outside the car.
“Due to the nature of injuries, the male can only be tentatively identified as 36-year-old Juan Almanza Zavala,” Nevada County Sheriff’s Office said on Facebook. “The female was confirmed to be 29-year-old Janette Pantoja.”
The car was not visible from the highway. Investigators had been searching rural areas nearby for the last two weeks. California Highway Patrol is conducting a vehicle accident investigation. | 2022-08-19T16:03:38+00:00 | cbs42.com | https://www.cbs42.com/news/missing-former-couple-found-dead-after-music-and-car-show/ |
Migrants near US border face cold wait for key asylum ruling
EL PASO, Texas (AP) — Hairdresser Grisel Garcés survived a harrowing, four-month journey from her native Venezuela through tropical jungles, migrant detention centers in southern Mexico and then jolting railcar rides north toward the U.S. border.
Now on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande across from El Paso, Texas, she’s anxiously awaiting a pending U.S. Supreme Court decision on asylum restrictions expected to affect her and thousands of other migrants at crossings along some 1,900 miles (3,100 kilometers) of border from Texas to California. And she’s doing so while living outside as winter temperatures plunge over much of the U.S. and across the border.
She told of fleeing economic hardship only to find more hardship, such as now having to shiver through temperatures colder than any she’s ever experienced.
“Riding the train was bad. Here the situation is even worse. You just turn yourself over to God’s mercy,” said Garcés, who left a school-aged daughter behind, hoping to reach the U.S. with her husband.
Their savings exhausted, some days they don’t eat. And on Thursday, Garcés waited and watched as hundreds of migrants formed a line to gradually pass through a gate in the border fence for processing by U.S. immigration officials. She fears immediate deportation under current asylum restrictions and doesn’t dare cross the shallow waters of the Rio Grande within view.
Dozens of migrants have been spending their nights on the concrete banks of the river, awaiting word of possible changes to the asylum restrictions put in place in March 2020. In El Paso, sidewalks are serving as living quarters outside a bus station and a church for some migrants who can’t find space immediately at an expanding network of shelters underwritten by the city and religious groups.
That Trump administration-era ban on asylum — Title 42 — was granted a brief extension by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts on Wednesday. It’s not clear when the Supreme Court’s definitive decision will come. The Biden administration asked the court to lift the restrictions, but not before Christmas.
Under Title 42, authorities have expelled asylum-seekers inside the United States 2.5 million times, and turned away most people who requested asylum at the border, on grounds of preventing the spread of COVID-19.
Title 42 applies to all nationalities but has most affected people from countries such as Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and, more recently, Venezuela.
Immigration advocates have sued to end the use of Title 42. They say the policy goes against American and international obligations to people fleeing persecution and is outdated now that coronavirus treatments have improved.
Conservative-leaning states appealed to the Supreme Court, warning an increase in migration would take a toll on public services and cause an “unprecedented calamity” with which they fear the federal government has no plan to deal.
In El Paso, Texas National Guard members have taken up positions at the behest of the state, while volunteers and law enforcement officers worried some migrants could succumb to the cold. Nighttime temperatures have been in the 30s (below 3.8 degrees Celsius) and will be even colder in coming days.
Elsewhere, hundreds of migrants fashioned a makeshift encampment — with black plastic bags for crude tents — in a park in Matamoros, Mexico, near Brownsville, Texas.
Shivering in the cold after his recent expulsion from the U.S., a former Venezuelan navy military policeman, Carlos Hernandez, spoke about how he, his wife and their 3-year-old daughter recently struggled through the cold river, only to be turned back after reaching the other side.
Hernandez said he had a falling out with superiors in Venezuela for refusing orders to take action against government opponents in the navy. He said he hoped to cross again and eventually reach Canada.
“It was very cold,” he said of the river crossing.
In Tijuana, Mexico, across from San Diego, an estimated 5,000 migrants were staying in more than 30 shelters and many more renting rooms and apartments. Razor-topped walls rising 30 feet (9 meters) along the border with San Diego make illegal crossing daunting.
Francisco Palacios waited hours with his wife and 3-year-old daughter at a Tijuana-area border crossing at midweek before going to a hotel to nap. He said the family from the western Mexican city of Morelia awaits the court decision on whether and when to lift the pandemic-era restrictions that have prevented many from seeking asylum.
“We don’t have a choice,” Palacios said Wednesday, explaining his family arrived in Tijuana two weeks earlier to escape violence and gangs that for years extorted a chunk of their income selling fruit from a street cart.

CHICAGO (AP) — Luis Robert Jr. homered for the fourth straight game, Gavin Sheets and Jake Burger went deep off Shane Bieber in Chicago’s six-run fifth inning, and the White Sox beat the Cleveland Guardians 8-3 on Tuesday night.
Lance Lynn (2-5) allowed three runs — one earned — on seven hits in seven innings. He struck out seven and walked none.
Robert's solo shot to deep left in the eighth was his AL-leading 12th homer of the season. He became the first White Sox player to homer in four consecutive games since Matt Davidson in 2017.
In 14 games in May, Robert is hitting .408 (20 for 49) with seven homers and 15 RBIs.
“He got a good pitch up in the zone and he's not missing those right now,” Chicago manager Pedro Grifol said. “And they're going a long way. He's shrinking this ballpark, he's shrinking any ballpark right now.”
Sheets’ three-run shot and Burger’s two-run drive were among six straight hits by the White Sox with two outs in the fifth as Chicago jumped ahead 6-0.
“You've got a matchup like Lance and Bieber going at it and both guys were throwing the ball really well,” Sheets said. “So to have that inning was huge for us.”
Bieber (3-2) was charged with six runs, five earned, on 12 hits in 4 2/3 innings.
“It was a weird, weird game,” Cleveland manager Tony Francona said. "The first four innings he scattered hits, but kept them off the scoreboard, kind of typical Bieber style. Bobbed and weaved a little bit, but made pitches.
“Then we got two quick outs (in the fifth) ... and it was like the roof caved in."
Yoán Moncada and Andrew Vaughn each had two hits and an RBI for the White Sox.
Cleveland's Steven Kwan drove in runs with a sacrifice fly and a double.
The Guardians played without All-Star third baseman José Ramírez, who was placed on the bereavement list before the game. Francona said Ramírez isn’t expected to rejoin the Guardians until they begin a three-game series at the New York Mets on Friday.
Ramírez, batting .285 with four homers and 22 RBIs, traveled to the Dominican Republic following the death of his grandmother.
Lynn retired the first 11 Cleveland batters before Josh Naylor singled to right with two outs in the fourth. Naylor, who took Ramírez’s No. 3 spot in the batting order, exited in the sixth inning with left leg tightness.
Myles Straw led off the eighth against Lynn and reached on a throwing error by shortstop Tim Anderson. He scored on Kwan's double, which ended Lynn's night. Kenyan Middleton relieved and allowed two infield singles that plated the second unearned run charged to Lynn.
GUARDIANS MOVES
Cleveland recalled INF Brayan Rocchio from Triple-A Columbus to take Ramírez’s roster spot. Rocchio made his major league debut when he pinch-hit for Naylor in the sixth and reached on an infield single. He stayed in the game to play third as Gabriel Arias shifted to first.
HENDRIX WATCH
White Sox closer Liam Hendriks, recovering from stage-4 non-Hodgkin lymphoma, is expected to make another rehab appearance for Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday, Grifol said. There’s still no timetable for the 34-year-old Australian right-hander’s return to the majors.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Indians: Francona said he'd know more on Wednesday about the extent of Naylor's injury, sustained when he dived after a ball. ... RHP Aaron Civale (oblique strain) is expected to throw 50 pitches in a rehab assignment for Triple-A Columbus on Thursday. ... Francona said RHP Triston McKenzie, (teres major strain) is expected to be assigned “somewhere” to pitch on Saturday.
White Sox: Returned LHP Garrett Crochet (Tommy John surgery) from his rehab assignment from Charlotte and optioned RHP Nick Padilla. The 6-foot-6 Crochet, who hasn’t pitched in the majors since Oct. 1, 2021, was expected to be available from the bullpen. ... OF/DH Eloy Jiménez (appendectomy) ran in the outfield and ran the bases on Tuesday.
UP NEXT

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit Donald Trump filed against CNN in which the former U.S. president claimed that references in news articles or by the network’s hosts to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election as “the Big Lie” was tantamount to comparing him to Adolf Hitler.
Trump had been seeking punitive damages of $475 million in the federal lawsuit filed last October in South Florida, claiming the references hurt his reputation and political career. Trump is a candidate for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination in what is his third run for the presidency.
U.S. District Judge Raag Singhal, who was appointed by Trump, said Friday in his ruling that the former president’s defamation claims failed because the references were opinions and not factual statements. Moreover, it was a stretch to believe that, in viewers’ minds, that phrase would connect Trump’s efforts challenging the 2020 election results to Nazi propaganda or Hitler’s genocidal and authoritarian regime, the judge said.
“CNN’s use of the phrase ‘the Big Lie’ in connection with Trump’s election challenges does not give rise to a plausible inference that Trump advocates the persecution and genocide of Jews or any other group of people,” the judge wrote in his decision.
Email messages seeking comment were sent to Trump’s attorneys in South Florida and Washington. Email messages seeking comment also were sent to CNN attorneys in Atlanta and South Florida. | 2023-07-30T21:41:04+00:00 | staradvertiser.com | https://www.staradvertiser.com/2023/07/30/breaking-news/donald-trumps-defamation-lawsuit-against-cnn-is-dismissed/ |

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – As images of the unsightly looking rash make their rounds, local health experts told KFOR Wednesday there is no need for pandemic panic, yet.
“I think the risk is very low right now in Oklahoma.”
In a public session Monday, the World Health Organization’s (WHO) top monkeypox expert confirmed that the disease was not spreading at pandemic levels, but indicated a host of unknowns about the disease, including how exactly it’s spreading and whether the suspension of mass smallpox immunization decades ago may somehow be speeding its transmission.
“One thing that’s important to understand is that this is not exactly like coronavirus,” said David L Holden, M.D.
“Coronavirus is truly airborne,” added the physician, who currently serves as President of the Oklahoma State Medical Association.
“We had no idea who had it, who didn’t. It could be spreading it, think they have a cold or something else. Whereas monkeypox, the symptoms are much more dramatic. And of course the rash is the telltale sign, but they do stay symptomatic and transmissible for up to three weeks. So, I think it behooves us in Oklahoma to be sure and recognize that it is an issue.”
“From a historic standpoint, monkeypox is simply one variation of what we call orthopox viruses,” said Holden, adding that this is not the first time that monkeypox has gotten out, yet identifying its similarities with broader orthopox viruses.
“It had gotten out previously,” he said, referring to the disease.
“The difference has been that this seems to have been a much broader explosion of cases in multiple countries,” he continued. “I’ve studied smallpox in the past that it can be airborne in the sense that if you shake a blanket out that someone has been wearing that is infected, the particles off that blanket are contaminated. And if you breathe that or come in contact with those, theoretically it is airborne in that sense,” he continued.
Scientists with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) said they’ve been tracking cases of monkeypox reported in countries around the world that haven’t typically seen cases of the disease, according to a recently released travel notice.
“There’s only been a few cases here in the United States. And a very heavy investigation of those cases have indicated a lot of them have had exposure overseas or had travel history or have had contact with somebody who had one of those risk factors,” said Jolianne Stone, MPH, and State Epidemiologist for the Oklahoma State Department of Health.
KFOR previously reported the number of monkeypox cases at 18, according to data provided by the CDC data. However, since that update, the latest data provided by the health organization shows the total confirmed monkeypox/orthopoxvirus cases as 19.
The health experts said while the public health risk is relatively low, Oklahomans should still be watchful, particularly if they’ve traveled out of the state.
“We just have to be vigilant and we have to recognize, you know, our society is somewhat fragile the way we exist now, the way we travel, the way we interact in mass crowds,” said Dr. Holden. “If you’re not traveling [and] a case pops up in Oklahoma somewhere in the state, you’ll know that needs to be watched closely.
“That’s where the state health department can move in and isolate those people,” he added.
Jolianne Stone said from the state’s perspective there’s also a plan in place to address the public health concern, if cases are identified in Oklahoma.
“We have a plan to get that person tested and to make sure that we protect those contacts around them and the individuals in the community,” she said. “If you’ve had close physical contact with somebody who might have had a rash or has had exposure to monkeypox and you think you might be at risk, certainly contact your health care provider and we could work with them on getting testing.” | 2022-06-02T04:44:07+00:00 | kfor.com | https://kfor.com/news/local/remain-vigilant-oklahoma-health-experts-address-monkeypox-concerns/ |
BUCHAREST – Four more luxury vehicles have been seized in the investigation into Andrew Tate, a divisive social media personality who was detained in Romania last week on charges of human trafficking and rape, an official said Friday.
Prosecutors investigating the case seized the additional four vehicles on Thursday on top of 11 others seized in raids last week, Ramona Bolla, a spokesperson for Romanian anti-organized crime agency DIICOT, told The Associated Press.
At least seven of the seized vehicles — some of which local media report are limited editions worth up to $300,000 — are registered to Tate and his brother Tristan Tate who was detained last week in the same case, she said. Some of the other vehicles either aren’t registered or don’t have documentation.
Bolla also said that more than 10 properties or land owned by companies registered to the Tate brothers have been seized in the investigation so far.
“If we prove they gained money through human trafficking,” Bolla said, “they will be taken by the state and (will) cover the expenses of the investigation and damages to the victims.”
Tate, a British citizen and former professional kickboxer who has amassed 4.4 million followers on Twitter, was detained last week along with his brother Tristan in Ilfov, an area north of Romania’s capital, Bucharest. Two other Romanian suspects are also in custody.
DIICOT said in a statement last week that it has identified six victims who were subjected to “acts of physical violence and mental coercion” and were sexually exploited by group members.
The agency said two British citizens in the case lured victims using pretenses of love, and later intimidation, constant surveillance, and other control tactics into performing pornographic acts intended to reap “important financial benefits.”
All four suspects are expected to appear in a Bucharest court next week to have their appeals heard contesting a judge’s decision last week to extend their arrest warrants from 24 hours to 30 days, Bolla said.
The Tate brothers will also appear in court next week to appeal the seizure of some of their belongings.
In a statement posted on Andrew Tate's website — which sells a program called “The War Room” for more than $5,000, intended “for men who understand something is missing” — says his detention is an “unfounded, politically-driven attack.”
Since his arrest last week, a series of posts have appeared on Tate’s Twitter account. One of them, posted Thursday, reads: “Your enemies perpetuate “justice” and “civility” in a society designed to enslave you. You feel sad inside FOR A REASON. You can feel something isn’t right. You must escape the Matrix.” | 2023-01-06T19:11:04+00:00 | local10.com | https://www.local10.com/news/world/2023/01/06/romania-seizes-more-cars-in-tate-case-court-next-week/ |

At least 250,000 people lined up to see queen’s coffin
LONDON (AP) — At least 250,000 people joined the huge line to see Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin lying in state for four days in London’s Westminster Hall at Parliament, an official said Tuesday.
Culture Secretary Michelle Donelan said officials were still “crunching the numbers,” but estimated that about a quarter-million people joined the longest queue most have ever seen for a chance to file past the queen’s coffin from Sept. 14 until hours before her state funeral on Monday.
Many in the queue waited for up to 13 hours, braving the autumnal chill and spending the night shuffling along the River Thames to pay their respects to the late monarch. The London Ambulance Service said staff and volunteers cared for around 2,000 people who lined up, and took 240 for hospital treatment.
The queen, who died on Sept. 8 in Scotland after 70 years on the throne, was interred alongside her late husband Prince Philip and her parents in Windsor Castle’s St. George’s Chapel on Monday.
The private interment service followed a state funeral at Westminster Abbey attended by hundreds of world leaders and dignitaries, and 10 days of national mourning.
Outside Windsor castle, cleaners were busy clearing up and international news crews were taking down their equipment after thousands packed the streets Monday to view the military parade escorting the queen’s coffin to St. George’s Chapel.
“The nation certainly has come together. As for the crowd yesterday, it was unbelievable really,” said Marion Brettle, 73. “I think the whole nation stopped, and thought, and listened, and watched.”
The royal family are observing another week of mourning and aren’t expected to carry out official engagements. Flags at royal residences will remain at half-mast until the morning after the final day of royal mourning.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A Saudi court has sentenced a doctoral student to 34 years in prison for spreading “rumors” and retweeting dissidents, according to court documents obtained Thursday, a decision that has drawn growing global condemnation.
Activists and lawyers consider the sentence against Salma al-Shehab, a mother of two and a researcher at Leeds University in Britain, shocking even by Saudi standards of justice.
So far unacknowledged by the kingdom, the ruling comes amid Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s crackdown on dissent even as his rule granted women the right to drive and other new freedoms in the ultraconservative Islamic nation.
Al-Shehab was detained during a family vacation in January 2021 just days before she planned to return to the United Kingdom, according to the Freedom Initiative, a Washington-based human rights group.
Al-Shehab told judges she had been jailed for over 285 days before her case was even referred to court, the legal documents obtained by The Associated Press show.
The Freedom Initiative describes al-Shehab as a member of Saudi Arabia’s Shiite Muslim minority, which has long complained of systematic discrimination in the Sunni-ruled kingdom.
“Saudi Arabia has boasted to the world that they are improving women’s rights and creating legal reform, but there is no question with this abhorrent sentence that the situation is only getting worse,” said Bethany al-Haidari, the group’s Saudi case manager.
Since rising to power in 2017, Prince Mohammed has accelerated efforts to diversify the kingdom’s economy away from oil with massive tourism projects — most recently plans to create the world’s longest buildings that would stretch for more than 100 miles in the desert. But he has also faced criticism over his arrests of those who fail to fall in line, including dissidents and activists but also princes and businessmen.
Judges accused al-Shehab of “disturbing public order” and “destabilizing the social fabric” — claims stemming solely from her social media activity, according to an official charge sheet. They alleged al-Shehab followed and retweeted dissident accounts on Twitter and “transmitted false rumors.”
A special court for terrorism and national security crimes handed down the unusually harsh 34-year sentence, to be followed by a 34-year travel ban. The decision came earlier this month as al-Shehab appealed her initial sentence of six years.
“The (six-year) prison sentence imposed on the defendant was minor in view of her crimes,” a state prosecutor told the appeals court. “I’m calling to amend the sentence in light of her support for those who are trying to cause disorder and destabilize society, as shown by her following and retweeting (Twitter) accounts.”
The Saudi government in Riyadh, as well as its embassies in Washington and London, did not respond to a request for comment.
Leeds University confirmed that al-Shehab was in her final year of doctoral studies at the medical school.
“We are deeply concerned to learn of this recent development in Salma’s case and we are seeking advice on whether there is anything we can do to support her,” the university said.
Al-Shehab’s sentencing also drew the attention of Washington, where the State Department said Wednesday it was “studying the case.”
“Exercising freedom of expression to advocate for the rights of women should not be criminalized, it should never be criminalized,” State Department spokesperson Ned Price said.
Last month, U.S. President Joe Biden traveled to the oil-rich kingdom and held talks with Prince Mohammed in which he said he raised human rights concerns. Their meeting — and much-criticized fist-bump — marked a sharp turn-around from Biden’s earlier vow to make the kingdom a “pariah” over the 2018 killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
During her appeal, al-Shehab said the harsh judgement was tantamount to the “destruction of me, my family, my future, and the future of my children.” She has two young boys, aged 4 and 6.
She told judges she had no idea that simply retweeting posts “out of curiosity and to observe others’ viewpoints,” from a personal account with no more than 2,000 followers, constituted terrorism.

LONDON (AP) — The disappearance of 3-year-old Madeleine McCann in 2007 while her British family was on vacation in the Algarve resort region of Portugal has been a mystery for 16 years.
Investigators renewed their search for her Tuesday at a reservoir not far from where she went missing. Divers searched the waters as police dug and scraped up earth next to a dam.
The case has received attention around the world with each development, including a papal visit, numerous suspects being named and erroneous reports of sightings.
Here’s a timeline of events in the disappearance:
May 3, 2007: Madeleine is reported missing from a vacation apartment in the town of Praia da Luz in the Algarve resort region. Her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, left her asleep with two smaller siblings while they had dinner at a nearby restaurant, and said they checked frequently on the children. They say Madeleine was kidnapped.
May 6, 2007: Police say there is evidence the girl was abducted, and appeal for her return.
May 11, 2007: David Beckham and other soccer stars appeal for Madeleine’s safe return. Police in Portugal scale down local searches, saying the case has become an international investigation.
May 12, 2007: Madeleine McCann’s fourth birthday.
May 13, 2007: Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling pledges a contribution to a $3 million reward for the safe return of the child.
May 18, 2007: A website set up to help find Madeleine receives 65 million visitors in two days.
May 30, 2007: The McCanns meet with Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican to discuss their ordeal. The pontiff pledges to pray for her safe return.
Aug. 3, 2007: Authorities in Belgium investigate a reported sighting of the child in the town of Tongeren. Police issue a drawing of a Dutch-speaking man reportedly seen with the girl and an English-speaking woman at a table outside a pub. Authorities eventually carry out DNA tests on a milkshake bottle from the pub, but the girl’s DNA isn’t found.
Aug. 7, 2007: Portuguese media report that search dogs found traces of blood in the hotel room where Madeleine went missing. The forensic evidence is sent to Britain for testing.
Aug. 11, 2007: Police say new evidence prompts them to consider the possibility the girl is dead 100 days after her disappearance.
Sept. 7. 2007: Gerry and Kate McCann are called in for questioning by police and named as suspects. They aren’t charged and are allowed to leave the country.
March 19, 2008: British tabloids the Daily Express and the Daily Star print front page apologies to the McCann’s as part of a 1 million pound ($1.24 million) settlement in a libel case. They acknowledged there was no evidence to support claims they caused their daughter’s death.
July 21, 2008: Portuguese authorities halt their investigation and say the McCanns are no longer suspects.
May 12, 2011: Kate McCann publishes a book about the disappearance on what would be her daughter’s eighth birthday.
April 25, 2012: British police say they believe Madeleine could still be alive and release a picture of what she might look like as a 9-year-old.
July 4, 2013: British police say they have launched Operation Grange, after two years of reviewing the investigation. Police say they identified 38 people of interest, including 12 Britons.
Oct. 24, 2013: Portuguese police reopen case based on new evidence.
June 3, 2014: Search dogs and investigators search an area of scrubland near where Madeleine went missing.
April 28, 2015: A Portuguese judge awards the parents 500,000 euros ($539,000) in a libel action against the detective who published a book alleging they were involved in their daughter’s disappearance.
July 29, 2015: Australian authorities say DNA tests rule out Madeleine McCann in efforts to identify the decomposed remains of a young girl found in a suitcase dumped in bushes near Adelaide.
Sept. 16, 2015: The U.K. says its investigation into the disappearance has cost more than 10 million pounds ($12.4 million). A month later, police reduce the number of officers working on the case from 29 to four.
April 19, 2016: An appeals court in Portugal overturns the libel verdict against the former detective who alleged the parents were responsible for Madeleine’s disappearance.
April 30, 2017: In an interview before the 10-year anniversary since their daughter’s disappearance, the parents say they’re still holding out hope she’ll be found alive. Gerry McCann said it was “devastating” not to have found her, but added: “No parent is going to give up on their child, unless they know for certain their child is dead.”
June 3, 2020: Police in Germany announce that Madeleine is presumed dead and a German man convicted of a rape committed in Portugal in 2005 is a suspect.
July 29, 2020: German police complete a search for Madeleine at a garden plot outside Hannover.
May 4, 2021: The McCanns post a statement on the Find Madeleine website saying they still cling to the hope of seeing their daughter again as they prepare to mark her 18th birthday.
April 21, 2022: Christian Brueckner, the German inmate, is named as a formal suspect by Portuguese authorities. He was in the area where Madeleine disappeared in 2007.
May 22, 2023: Search begins at Arade reservoir, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) from Praia da Luz. | 2023-05-24T15:38:37+00:00 | wric.com | https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/ap-timeline-in-the-disappearance-of-madeleine-mccann/ |
SEATTLE – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, along with state and federal agencies, are investigating reports of 18 salmonella infections in at least half a dozen states that may have come from raw cookie dough sold at Papa Murphy’s.
People have been sickened in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, California and Missouri, the CDC said Tuesday. Illnesses were reported from Feb. 27-May 2.
Interviews with sick people show that raw cookie dough sold at Papa Murphy’s Take ‘N’ Bake pizza stores may be contaminated. People reported eating the cookie dough raw, the CDC said.
Six people in Washington, four in Idaho and four in Oregon have become sick, according to the CDC’s website. Utah says two people have become ill there. California and Missouri have each reported one sick person linked to the outbreak.
Two people have been hospitalized, although their location was unclear. No deaths have been reported.
The number of sick people is likely higher than the number reported, and the outbreak could extend to other states, CDC officials said.
The take-and-bake pizza company — based in Vancouver, Washington — has temporarily stopped selling their raw chocolate chip cookie dough and s’more bars dough. Although a picture of desserts, including cookies and s'more bars, could be seen on their website Tuesday, those items were not available to order.
People who have the dough in their homes should throw it away, and items and surfaces that may have touched the dough should be washed in the dishwasher or with hot, soapy water, according to the CDC.
Investigators are working to identify the contaminated ingredient in the raw cookie dough.
Most people infected with salmonella develop diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps six hours to six days after being exposed to the bacteria. The illness usually lasts four to seven days, and most people recover without treatment, according to the CDC.
Children under 5, adults 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to have severe illness. | 2023-05-24T14:15:29+00:00 | ksat.com | https://www.ksat.com/business/2023/05/24/cdc-investigating-salmonella-outbreak-in-6-states-linked-to-papa-murphys-cookie-dough/ |
NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Philharmonic is restoring salaries of musicians to pre-pandemic levels as it prepares to return to Lincoln Center’s Geffen Hall for the 2022-23 season.
A four-year contract agreed to in December 2020 during a season canceled due to the coronavirus had called for players to earn 75% of minimum scale through Aug. 31, 2023, which comes to $2,214 weekly. The figure was to rise to 80% of scale through the first six months of the following fiscal year and 90% for the following six months.
The orchestra said Monday that salaries will be restored to a $2,952 weekly minimum starting Sept. 21.
After missing the 2020-21 season due to the pandemic, the orchestra split this season largely between Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall (46 concerts) and Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Rose Theater (28 concerts). The Philharmonic held 89 concerts in all and drew 90% capacity with attendance of 74,787, not including its free Memorial Day performance at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
The Philharmonic returns to Geffen Hall on Oct. 7 after a $550 million renovation that reduced capacity to under 2,200 from 2,738 and cut rows in the orchestra cut from 43 to 33. The stage was moved forward 25 feet, allowing seven rows of wraparound seating behind the orchestra. About two-thirds of the third tier was eliminated. | 2022-06-13T18:21:14+00:00 | seattletimes.com | https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/ny-philharmonic-restores-salaries-to-pre-pandemic-levels/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all |

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds has signed a pair of laws restricting the bathrooms transgender students can use and banning gender-affirming medical care amid a flood of legislation nationwide targeting the trans community.
Reynolds, a Republican, met with parents of transgender children to discuss the bills before signing them Wednesday, The Des Moines Register reported.
“My heart breaks,” Reynolds told reporters. “I’ve sat down and met with them. It’s not easy. It’s not easy for me either. It’s not easy for our elected officials to make these decisions. So I just, I hope they know that.”
Her endorsement of the laws, which took effect immediately, came just one day after Arkansas's governor signed a similar bathroom law. And a bill in Idaho is awaiting its governor's signature.
In Iowa, the new law bars transgender students from using public school restrooms that align with their gender identity. Students will need parental consent for special accommodations like using a faculty or single-occupancy restroom.
The law's enforcement relies on citizen complaint filings that authorities have three days to address. If the school doesn't act, that citizen could file a complaint with the attorney general who would investigate and possibly pursue legal action.
Republicans argued these restrictions are intended to protect the privacy and safety of students who may feel uncomfortable sharing a facility with their transgender peers. Democrats countered that there have been no such issues and worry the law could cause additional harassment of transgender kids.
Meanwhile, the new ban on gender-affirming care gives doctors six months to cease prescribing puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to their patients under 18. They are also prohibited from conducting gender-affirming surgeries, even though Iowa doctors say the surgeries are already rare.
Advocates suggest families of transgender youth contact their doctors for referrals to out-of-state treatment, which is still allowed. In neighboring Minnesota, Gov. Tim Walz has signed an executive order to protect access to gender-affirming care for minors.
Iowa LGBTQ advocacy groups, civil rights organizations and the state’s teachers’ union have condemned both laws. The groups say the bills counter the “parental choice” mantra Republicans often tout and that they force schools to the frontline in policing student liberties, the Cedar Rapids Gazette reported.
“The Iowa Legislature and Gov. Reynolds have repeatedly targeted the most vulnerable students with rhetoric and legislation designed to suppress, out, target, ban, and censor Iowa’s LGBTQ+ student communities,” said Iowa State Education Association President Mike Beranek. | 2023-03-23T18:40:40+00:00 | expressnews.com | https://www.expressnews.com/news/politics/article/iowa-governor-signs-gender-affirming-care-ban-17856541.php |

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — Jurors reached a verdict Tuesday in a lawsuit by a woman who says Bill Cosby sexually abused her at the Playboy Mansion in 1975.
The Los Angeles County Superior Court jury said it reached its verdict about 30 minutes after the forewoman told the judge they were deadlocked.
Jurors had been stuck on the question of whether to award punitive damages to Judy Huth. In order to reach that question on the verdict form, jurors had to decide if Cosby harmed Huth when she was 16 and arrive at some figure for compensatory damages.
If the jury decides Cosby acted with malice, another phase of trial will determine punitive damages.
Cosby, 84, who was freed from prison when his Pennsylvania criminal conviction was thrown out nearly a year ago, has not attended the trial that lasted more than two weeks. He denied any sexual contact with Huth in a clip from a 2015 video deposition shown to jurors. The denial has been repeated throughout the trial by his spokesman and his attorney.
The verdict followed an unusual set of circumstances after a juror was excused Friday as the panel had resolved all the issues except whether to award punitive damages.
An alternate was chosen and jurors had to begin deliberations anew on Monday. They quickly seemed to arrive at the same impasse about whether to punish Cosby for his behavior.
Cosby lawyer Jennifer Bonjean moved for a mistrial when the jury said it couldn’t resolve its differences. But Judge Craig Karlan said the jury had deliberated less than eight hours over two days. He said he might keep them another day.
Word came from the jury room that a verdict was reached soon thereafter.
It was to be read at 3:30 p.m. local time.
The Associated Press does not normally name people who say they have been sexually abused, unless they come forward publicly, as Huth has.

NAPFA's "Playbook Masterclass" Series and Allianz's "Conversations That Matter" Project, both produced by Impact Communications, get nod from "Wealthies" judges
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Impact Communications, Inc., a full-service marketing and PR firm that works exclusively with independent financial advisors and allied institutions such as custodians, independent broker/dealers, consulting companies and fintech firms, has been named a finalist for the Digital Campaign of the Year in the Marketing/PR Firm category of the WealthManagement.com Industry Awards for their work on the NAPFA Playbook: Masterclass Series, produced in partnership with the National Association of Personal Financial Planners (NAPFA). The Masterclass Series provides NAPFA Members and other interested financial advisors with a series of marketing presentations and discussion sessions that help advisors build their marketing acumen and put theory into practice. The Masterclass series provides hands-on learning and real-world examples to help advisors expand their email list, build drip marketing and lead nurture sequences, spike online visibility and authority, and fuel social media and other digital campaigns.
The awards are judged by a panel of independent judges made up of top names in the industry and overseen by WealthManagement.com editor-in-chief David Armstrong. Honoring the individuals, organizations, and companies that help financial advisors build better businesses and create better outcomes for their clients, the 8th iteration of the event received a record-breaking number of nominations; nearly 1,000 entries were received from 350 companies.
Impact Communications was selected as a finalist in the category that pays tribute to the industry's most creative digital marketing campaigns, and to the imaginative contributions coming from marketing and PR firms serving organizations in financial services. The winners in each category revealed on September 8, 2022, at the grand gala and awards ceremony taking place at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in New York City.
Marie Swift, President and CEO of Impact Communications, and Jonny Swift, Vice President of Impact Communications, co-manage and co-host the ongoing NAPFA Playbook project. They collaborate with a series of experts to create focused sessions that provide hands-on learning and real-world experience for advisors. Sessions are organized in series of three focus areas where experts explain the "what" and "why" of a specific marketing strategy, then dig into the "how" to do some or all of what's been explained as a good tactic, then in the final session of that Masterclass the advisors complete an exercise to put theory into practice – culminating in an interactive review of participants' implementation with real-time feedback. The sessions remain on the NAPFA website for advisors who want to watch and learn from on-demand.
Swift and Swift also host and produce NAPFA's Mindset Mastery podcast, interviewing thought leaders in the financial services industry, well-being and mental health professionals, and other subject matter experts on how listeners can master their own mindsets to innovate in business settings, best serve their clients, and thrive in life overall.
Impact Communications is also proud of the work they did in partnership with the advisor services division at Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America. This work is showcased in the Wealthie's Service category for Insurance Companies and is a tribute to the Conversations That Matter project (work began in March 2020 and continues today). Allianz won a Wealthie last year for the initial work done on The Conversations That Matter project. This year, the Wealthies judges gave a finalist nod to the 2021 Conversations That Matter project extension which hinges on a new Special Report called Mastering The Conversation: A Guide to Excellent Communication. The guide contains insights and advice from fourteen experts in the financial planning community. A free, ungated download is available here: https://tinyurl.com/MTCGuide.
In addition, several additional Impact Communications' clients have moved from nominee to "finalist" in this year's Wealth Management Industry Awards for 2022. Advyzon was given the nod for their Platform Enhancements in the Portfolio Management, Accounting, and Performance Reporting category; their Quantum® Rebalancer in the Rebalancing category; and Platform Enhancements for the Unified (All-in-One) category. Finance of America Reverse LLC has progressed to the final round in the "Disruptors" category for their CE and Educational Components for financial advisors. HCR Wealth Advisors has gone to the final round for RIA Chief Technology Officer of the Year with their CTO Alyssa Phillips in the spotlight, and for Rising Star of the Year with their Managing Director Michelle Katzen. The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) progressed for their DEI Training and Certificate Program in the Industry Associations category.
Founded in 1993 by Marie Swift, who prior to Impact Communications was Director of Corporate Communications for a nationally-known wealth management firm and regional office for one of the largest independent broker/dealers in the country, Impact Communications works with a select group of fintech companies, financial institutions such as custodians and independent broker/dealers, RIA networks and membership organizations, OSJs, allied consulting entities, wealth management firms and independent advisors. Private coaching, on-camera training, branding and customized websites, content creation, and personalized media strategies enable Impact clients to reach their overarching goals.

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — Zimbabwe has brought in a law that bans health workers such as nurses and doctors from prolonged strikes, imposing punishments of up to six months in jail for defiant workers or union leaders, state-run media and a government spokesman said Wednesday.
The provision, signed into law by President Emmerson Mnangagwa last week but made public now, stipulates that health workers can only strike for up to three days because they are considered an essential service.
Health professionals should continue providing emergency services during a strike, tweeted government spokesman, Nick Mangwana.
Other countries including neighboring South Africa and Zambia limit strikes by health workers but impose less severe punishments, such as dismissals, work suspensions or docking salaries.
Frequent and weekslong strikes by health workers have for years strained Zimbabwe's public health facilities, which are already in a poor condition due to dilapidated infrastructure and medicine shortages.
Public health workers argue that their salaries — around $100 a month for many — and lack of basic equipment make their jobs untenable.
The southern African country, which once boasted some of the best public health care facilities and personnel in Africa, is now struggling with brain drain as nurses and doctors seek better opportunities elsewhere, mainly in the United Kingdom. | 2023-01-11T15:44:52+00:00 | ourmidland.com | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Zimbabwe-threatens-health-workers-with-jail-if-17710265.php |
Leading Researchers Recognized for Groundbreaking Contributions to Cancer
Genetics, Research Methodology and Transformative Approaches to Patient Care
SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Susan G. Komen®, the world's leading breast cancer organization, named Geoffrey M. Wahl, PhD, and Norman Wolmark, MD, FACS, FRCSC, two leading breast cancer researchers, as recipients of this year's Brinker Awards, Komen's highest scientific honor.
"Both recipients have made significant contributions to the field of breast cancer that have led to a better understanding of the molecular processes that contribute to drug resistance and disease progression in breast cancer and improved patient care," said Victoria Wolodzko Smart, Senior Vice President of Mission at Komen. "We are excited to recognize their commitment to scientific innovation and their impact on patients worldwide."
Established by Komen in 1992, the Brinker Awards for Scientific Distinction are the marquee scientific awards for honoring leading scientists who have made the most significant advances in breast cancer research and medicine. The awardees are named for their exceptional contributions to our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of breast cancer (Basic Science) and advances in breast cancer care (Clinical Research), which are both critical to fighting the disease.
Leading Investigator in Breast Cancer Genetics, Disease Progression and Research Methodology Named Brinker Awardee for Scientific Distinction in Basic Science
Geoffrey M. Wahl, PhD, Daniel and Martina Lewis Chair and Professor at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies Gene Expression Laboratory, will receive the Brinker Award for Scientific Distinction in Basic Science.
Wahl is recognized for his significant contributions to the field of cancer genetics, including the mechanisms of drug resistance and genome stability. His body of work and the techniques he pioneered have enabled discoveries across many disciplines. Wahl's commitment to understanding mammary cell development paved the way for future discoveries in breast cancer research and treatment. His work has also led to a better understanding of the underlying signaling changes that influence the onset and progression of breast cancer cells as well as identifying opportunities for targeted drug therapies.
"Dr. Wahl's dedication to innovation and discovery has led to new methodologies and expanded our understanding of breast cancer initiation. His innovative approaches and vision have allowed for major advancements in research and engagement with the breast cancer community," said Komen's Chief Scientific Advisor, Jennifer Pietenpol, PhD, Chief Scientific and Strategy Officer at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Expert Who Changed the Standard of Breast Cancer Care Honored with the Brinker Award for Scientific Distinction in Clinical Research
Norman Wolmark, MD, FACS, FRCSC, Professor of Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh UPMC Hillman Cancer Center, Chairman of the NSABP Foundation, Inc. and an NRG Oncology Group Chair & Contact Principal Investigator will receive the Brinker Award for Scientific Distinction in Clinical Research.
Dr. Wolmark is recognized for his innovation and significant contributions to patient care. He was instrumental in establishing breast-conserving surgery as the standard of care for invasive and non-invasive breast cancer, eliminating the need for radical mastectomy, offering options and improving the quality of life for breast cancer patients. Over the last four decades, Dr. Wolmark has led numerous clinical trials, including two of the largest chemoprevention clinical trials leading to FDA approval of the use of tamoxifen and raloxifene for breast cancer prevention in high-risk patients. He also led the development of the 21-gene recurrence score assay, Oncotype DX, a tumor profiling test that predicts the chance of metastasis and helps determine the benefit of using chemotherapy in addition to hormone therapy in certain patients.
"Dr. Wolmark's contributions can be seen in breast cancer clinics worldwide. His efforts have afforded women more effective and less invasive options for breast cancer care. Additionally, his research has shifted the breast cancer field into preventative and more personalized care leading to better outcomes for so many," said Dr. Pietenpol.
The 2022 Brinker Award winners will present their keynote lectures at the 45th annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, which will return in-person and virtually Dec. 6-10, 2022.
Driving innovation in breast cancer research toward improved patient care has been a top priority for Komen since its founding in 1982. Komen is the leading breast cancer research organization that has invested nearly $1.1 billion in breast cancer research, making it the largest funder of breast cancer research outside of the U.S. government.
Susan G. Komen® is the world's leading nonprofit breast cancer organization, working to save lives and end breast cancer forever. Komen has an unmatched, comprehensive 360-degree approach to fighting this disease across all fronts and supporting millions of people in the U.S. and in countries worldwide. We advocate for patients, drive research breakthroughs, improve access to high-quality care, offer direct patient support and empower people with trustworthy information. Founded by Nancy G. Brinker, who promised her sister, Susan G. Komen, that she would end the disease that claimed Suzy's life, Komen remains committed to supporting those affected by breast cancer today, while tirelessly searching for tomorrow's cures.

DETROIT (AP) — A man fatally shot another customer inside a Detroit gas station and wounded two more after the clerk locked the door in a dispute over a small purchase, authorities said Wednesday.
Details emerged as prosecutors charged Samuel McCray, 27, with murder and attempted murder. He was denied bond during a court appearance.
The shooting occurred after 3 a.m. Saturday. McCray tried to leave the gas station with items worth less than $4 after an electronic purchase was rejected, but the clerk locked the door, the prosecutor’s office said.
McCray threatened to shoot everyone inside the gas station unless the door was unlocked, according to witness David Langston.
Langston told WJBK-TV that he begged McCray: ”‘Please, man, don’t shoot us. We don’t got nothing to do with this.’ ... And he started shooting.”
Langston, 37, was wounded but his best friend, Gregory Kelly, 37, was killed. A 60-year-old man was also wounded.
“After the men were shot, the clerk unlocked the door to the store, and McCray fled from the scene,” the prosecutor’s office said.
McCray was returned to jail after appearing in court Wednesday. He asked for a court-appointed attorney. | 2023-05-10T18:17:37+00:00 | lmtonline.com | https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/please-man-don-t-shoot-us-witness-says-18091242.php |
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Abortions in North Carolina are no longer legal after 20 weeks of pregnancy, a federal judge ruled Wednesday, eroding protections in one of the South’s few remaining safe havens for reproductive freedom.
U.S. District Judge William Osteen reinstated an unenforced 20-week abortion ban, with exceptions for urgent medical emergencies, after he said the June U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade erased the legal foundation for his 2019 ruling that placed an injunction on the 1973 state law.
His decision defies the recommendations of all named parties in the 2019 case, including doctors, district attorneys and the attorney general's office, who earlier this month filed briefs requesting he let the injunction stand.
“Neither this court, nor the public, nor counsel, nor providers have the right to ignore the rule of law as determined by the Supreme Court," wrote Osteen, who was appointed to the court by Republican President George W. Bush.
Unable to pass abortion restrictions that would survive Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper's veto, the Republican General Assembly leaders urged Osteen to restore the ban in a July 27 friend-of-the-court brief after the state's Democratic attorney general, an outspoken abortion rights supporter, rejected their demand that he bring the ban before a judge himself.
Osteen’s ruling adds fuel to an already contentious midterm election year after the Supreme Court ruling propelled state-level politics into the spotlight. North Carolina Republicans in November will aim to clinch the five additional seats they need for a veto-proof supermajority in the state legislature as Democrats stave off their challenges to preserve Cooper’s power.
Republican lawmakers say a successful election season could open the door to further abortion restrictions when the General Assembly reconvenes early next year. House Speaker Tim Moore told reporters on July 26 that he would like to see the legislature consider banning abortions once an ultrasound first detects fetal cardiac activity — typically around six weeks after fertilization and before some patients know they're pregnant.
Cooper and other Democrats have already elevated abortion access as a key campaign issue. The governor signed an executive order on July 6 shielding out-of-state abortion patients from extradition and prohibiting state agencies under his control from aiding other states' prosecutions of those who travel for the procedure.
North Carolina has become a refuge for residents of its more restrictive neighboring states, like South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee, where abortions are now illegal after six weeks.
Before Osteen’s ruling, abortions were legal in North Carolina until fetal viability, which generally falls between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy, or in certain medical emergencies.
As other Southeastern states continue to chip away at abortion access, Alison Kiser, executive director of Planned Parenthood Votes! South Atlantic, said limiting treatment in “a critical access point state” like North Carolina will have ripple effects across the region.
The number of out-of-state patients at North Carolina's Planned Parenthood health centers has tripled since the Supreme Court ruling, Kiser said. So far in August, 36% of abortion patients traveled from other states, up from 14% in June.
But Republicans argue little will change with the 20-week ban back in place. In 2019, fewer than 1% of abortions nationwide were performed after 20 weeks of gestation, consistent with data from previous years when abortion access was protected at the federal level, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“Abortions after 20 weeks are rare, but it’s still incredibly important that people have access to this care,” Kiser said. “The two primary reasons people need abortion care later in pregnancy is because they’ve received new medical information or, and ever more so now, they’re facing barriers that have delayed their care.”
The main delay, she said, is North Carolina's 72-hour mandatory waiting period to receive an abortion after an initial doctor's visit. The General Assembly extended the waiting period in 2015, making North Carolina the fifth state to require counseling three days before an abortion — one of the longest waiting periods in the country.
The 2015 bill also amended the state law that Osteen reinstated Wednesday, narrowing the criteria for medical emergencies that could warrant an abortion after 20 weeks.

(NEXSTAR) — Hospitals throughout the country have been reporting an uptick in children being hospitalized for respiratory syncytial virus, commonly known as RSV. Amid a flu season expected to be serious and with COVID-19 still infecting thousands each week, some are warning that we could be entering a challenging few months.
“We have already seen above what we expect for October any given year in terms of RSV locally and around the country,” Diego Hijano, an infectious disease specialist at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, told The Hill. Over the last week, nearly 7,000 RSV tests came back positive, according to figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, well above the roughly 30 reported during the same time last year.
Dr. Julie Holland, vice president of Pediatric Primary Care for Chicagoland Children’s Health Alliance tells Nexstar’s WGN there are concerns patients could get all three viruses at once.
So how can you tell these viruses apart?
First, it’s important to note the most serious symptom: difficulty breathing. If your child is struggling to breathe, regardless of why, seek immediate medical attention. Signs of this may include being able to see your child’s ribs while they are breathing, their lips becoming pale or blue, or the area below your child’s Adam’s apple collapsing.
Who is most at risk?
Anyone can get these viruses, but infants are among the most vulnerable, as are older adults and those with weakened immune systems.
In the case of RSV, a young child’s smaller airways make them more susceptible.
“Their airways are smaller, so inflammation and extra mucus make it harder for them to breathe,” Dr. Joe Childs with East Tennessee Children’s Hospital explained to Nexstar’s WATE. “Especially in the first few months of life, it can be very nasty.”
Their younger immune systems can also leave them more vulnerable to the flu. Holland says that when it comes to the flu and RSV, “the younger you are, the sicker you get.”
While young children can get COVID, many that do catch it have been found to have no symptoms, according to Harvard Medical School. If they do have symptoms, they tend to be milder. Children are, however, at risk of experiencing a severe complication known as multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, or MIS-C, after being exposed to or having the virus that causes COVID. MIS-C can lead to problems with the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin eyes, or gastrointestinal organs, according to the CDC.
What are the symptoms?
All three viruses have similar symptoms among young children, Michael Meyer, medical director of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit for Children’s Wisconsin wrote in a Monday blog post.
“These include a stuffy or runny nose, a cough, headache, and a low fever,” Meyer writes. “Their appetite may also be lower, and for nursing babies that can mean less wet diapers.”
These symptoms are similar to those listed for COVID by the CDC and the flu by John Hopkins Medicine. The flu does include additional symptoms, such as high fever, body aches, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Among younger children, RSV, an upper respiratory infection, can also cause wheezing and respiratory distress, Holland said. But she added that you can’t tell what virus someone is experiencing just by observing their symptoms. Instead, you’ll need a diagnosis from a medical professional.
How are the viruses diagnosed?
A COVID diagnosis requires a nasal swab test, either with a PCR test or an antigen test. Testing for RSV, though usually not necessary according to the American Lung Association, is commonly done using a mouth swab or blood test. If your doctor suspects your child has the flu, testing may include nasal or throat swabs.
How to keep your child safe
While telling the viruses apart can be difficult, protections for your child are the same for all of them.
Meyer encourages washing your hands often and ensuring anyone coming in contact with your child has washed their hands. If your child or anyone else in your home isn’t feeling well, they should remain at home. Those who aren’t feeling well also shouldn’t visit your home. He further recommends keeping surfaces clean since viruses can live on hard surfaces.
There is no vaccine for RSV, but vaccines are available for COVID and the flu.
The flu vaccine is recommended for most children that are 6 months and older, according to John Hopkins.
Two COVID vaccines — Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna — have been approved for children as young as 6 months old. A third vaccine, Novavax, has been approved for children as young as 12 years old.
During RSV season, an injection of an antibody-based medicine is sometimes prescribed to protect premature infants and other very vulnerable babies. Infants of mothers who had RSV while pregnant may have some immunity as well.
Regardless of whether your child has RSV, the flu, or COVID, if you’re worried your child is having a severe breathing problem, “do not hesitate” to go to an emergency department or call 911, said Dr. Russell Migita of Seattle Children’s Hospital.
For less severe medical problems, Migita said, call your regular health care provider for advice, use telehealth or go to urgent care.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks drifted to a mixed finish Monday, as Wall Street waited for the results of a pivotal meeting meant to avoid a potentially disastrous default on the U.S. government’s debt.
The S&P 500 was at a virtual standstill after flipping between small gains and losses through the day. It edged up by 0.65, or less than 0.1%, to 4,192.63. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 140.05 points, or 0.4%, to 33,286.58, and the Nasdaq composite rose 62.88, or 0.5%, to 12,720.78.
The stock market is near its highest level since August, but it’s been mostly remaining within a tight range for weeks as several big worries weigh. The biggest near-term risk is the possibility of a U.S. default, something that could occur as soon as June 1.
That’s when Washington could run out of cash to pay its bills, unless Congress allows it to borrow more. Because Treasurys are seen as the safest investment on Earth, economists and investors say a default would likely trigger a recession for the economy and deep pain for financial markets.
President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy were set to meet after U.S. stock markets closed to discuss the debt limit. Talks so far have been start-and-stop, with stocks rallying in the middle of last week on hopes that a deal may be progressing, only to falter Friday when negotiations hit a roadblock.
Another worry that’s hung over the market is the strength of the U.S. banking system, which has begun to crack under the weight of much higher interest rates. Three high-profile U.S. failures have shaken confidence since March, and investors have been looking for the next possible weak link.
Much scrutiny has been on PacWest Bancorp. Its stock jumped 19.5% after it agreed to sell a portfolio of real-estate construction loans with about $2.6 billion in principal still outstanding to Kennedy Wilson.
PacWest is one of the smaller and mid-sized regional banks that Wall Street highlighted in its hunt for the next possible bank to suffer a drop in confidence. Other banks collapsed after depositors pulled their cash all at once to create debilitating runs. PacWest’s stock is still down 70.2% for the year so far.
Elsewhere on Wall Street, Micron Technology dropped 2.8% as tensions heighten between China and the United States. China’s government said on Sunday Micron’s products have unspecified “serious network security risks” that could affect national security. It told users of sensitive computer equipment to stop buying Micron products.
Meta Platforms rose 1.1% after shaking off news that European regulators hit it with a record $1.3 billion privacy fine. Meta called the decision flawed and unjustified. It said it would appeal.
Meta has been on a tear this year, more than doubling in 2023 already. Other Big Tech companies have also had powerful leaps, much stronger than the rest of the market.
But that split in performance is worrying some market watchers. It’s left the index extremely top heavy, meaning its performance is more dependent on a couple handfuls of stocks than it’s been in decades.
Much of the excitement has been around artificial intelligence, but that hasn’t been enough to turn around some of Wall Street’s more pessimistic voices.
“While we believe AI is for real and will likely lead to some great efficiencies that help to fight inflation, it’s unlikely to prevent the deep earnings recession we forecast for this year,” Michael Wilson and other strategists at Morgan Stanley wrote in a report.
S&P 500 companies are in the midst of reporting a second straight quarter of profit drops from year-ago levels. The question is how much worse they will get because the economy is slowing under the weight of much higher interest rates meant to get inflation under control.
On the more optimistic side is Savita Subramanian, equity strategist at Bank of America. She raised her target for where the S&P 500 will end the year to 4,300 from 4,000. That’s not far from its current level, but she also said in a BofA Global Research report that stocks outside the behemoths at the top will likely be behind most of the gains.
She pointed to improved efficiencies at companies, which should help earnings become more stable, while acknowledging all the risks that could keep keep stocks in a long-term down market, or what’s called a “bear market”.
“For the bear case, talk to the person next to you,” she said, who can bring up everything from worries about the Federal Reserve making a mistake on interest-rate policy to the debt ceiling.
In the bond market, the 10-year Treasury yield rose to 3.71% from 3.68% late Friday. It helps set rates for mortgages and other important loans. The two-year yield, which moves more on expectations for the Fed, rose to 4.32% from 4.28%.
Hopes are high that the Fed will start taking it easier on interest rates by leaving them steady at its next meeting in June. That would be the first time it hasn’t hiked rates at a meeting in more than a year.
In stock markets abroad, Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose 0.9% to continue a big run over the last couple weeks. The Hang Seng in Hong Kong rose 1.2%, while stock indexes were mixed across Europe.

SAN ANTONIO – A man was arrested Tuesday on suspicions of sexual assault after Bexar County Sheriff’s Office deputies say he forced himself on a woman after they met up at a bar in the La Cantera area.
According to BCSO, 40-year-old Paul Marceaux met with a woman Tuesday night before the two went to Marceaux’s residence in the 12000 block of Big Valley Creek to discuss a business opportunity.
BCSO reported that Marceaux allegedly forced himself on the woman and sexually assaulted her after they arrived at his home.
“He then forced the victim to take a shower and that is when the victim was able to quickly escape Paul’s residence leaving behind her personal property to include her car keys and her phone,” according to a press release.
The victim ran to a residence nearly one mile away in the 10000 block of Caliban and the homeowner called 911 for assistance.
The caller reported that an unknown female was at his doorstep pleading for help and saying she escaped from an attacker.
BCSO stated that deputies arrived at the scene and arrested Marceaux without incident around 3 p.m. Tuesday after conducting an investigation.
He was booked into Bexar County Jail and is currently being held on $80,000 bond for a second-degree felony sexual assault charge.
Records show Marceaux has a previous criminal history with two charges for DWI and one for intoxication assault.
BCSO is asking anyone who recognizes Marceaux or anyone who believes they have information on related cases to contact investigators at 210-335-6000 or BCSOTIPS@bexar.org. All information can be provided anonymously.
KSAT has reached out to BCSO to see if they believe Marceaux is involved in additional sexual assault crimes. | 2023-03-01T17:15:28+00:00 | ksat.com | https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2023/03/01/man-accused-of-sexually-assaulting-woman-after-meeting-up-at-la-cantera-bar-bcso-says/ |
In-N-Out has 2nd-healthiest fast-food cheeseburger in America, study says
LOS ANGELES - If you want to get a "healthy" cheeseburger, you may not have to go too far to get one.
California-based In-N-Out Burger ranked second among America's healthiest fast-food burger chains, according to a study based on data from Gambling.com.
Analysts surveyed standard cheeseburger offerings from the top 10 fast-food chains based on factors such as sugar, fat, salt, and caloric content.
Texas chain Whataburger apparently ranked first, serving up the healthiest cheeseburgers with a rating of 8.4 on a 10-point scale.
SUGGESTED:
- McDonald's doing wider test of Krispy Kreme doughnut sales in Kentucky
- ‘I didn’t realize’: Woman mistakenly eats heart-shaped chip that could have won her 100K
- AMC to sell its movie theater popcorn at Walmart
- Pennsylvania Chick-fil-A bans kids under 16 from dining in restaurant without parent
In-N-Out trailed close by with a 8.2 rating. According to the In-N-Out website, a standard cheeseburger with onion equals about 480 calories, with 27g fat, 1,000mg sodium, and 10g sugar. Choose to get the burger protein style by subbing lettuce for the bun and that'll drop those figures a bit to 330 calories, with 25g fat, 720mg sodium, and 7g sugar. Options are really yours so you can make the burger as healthy (or not) as you want. Some even opt for no sauce and get ketchup and mustard instead.

In third place, Checkers and Rally's tied (6.3), then Culvers (5.7), Del Taco (5.5), and Dairy Queen (5.2) to round out the top 5.
Five Guys, Carl's Jr., McDonald's, and Wendy's all scored 5.0 and below. Wendy's came in dead last.

- First-ever randomized controlled trial regarding deep learning-based AI in radiology provides strong evidence for the clinical value of AI
- Large-scale study with 10,476 patients published in Radiology, the top journal in radiology
SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Findings from a recent study demonstrated the clinical effectiveness of Lunit's AI solution for chest x-ray image analysis, with significant improvement in the detection of lung nodules in patients undergoing routine health checkups. The results of the study were published in Radiology.[1]
While past retrospective studies have repeatedly indicated promising performance by AI in chest x-ray screening, evidence from a prospective trial assessing the impact of AI-based CAD software in real-world populations is highly warranted. Thus, researchers conducted a pragmatic, randomized controlled trial to investigate the clinical utility of AI in detecting actionable lung nodules among health checkup participants using Lunit INSIGHT CXR, Lunit's CE-marked AI solution for chest x-ray analysis.
Lunit INSIGHT CXR detects suspicious lesions in chest x-ray images, helping radiologists distinguish disease areas by providing the location of the lesion with an abnormality score that reflects the AI's confidence level. The AI solution can detect 10 of the most common chest abnormalities, including tuberculosis, with 97-99% accuracy.[2]
Researchers included 10,476 adult patients, who had undergone chest x-rays at a health screening center between June 2020 and December 2021. The patients were randomly divided evenly into two groups—AI or non-AI. The first group's x-rays were analyzed by radiologists aided by AI while the second group's x-rays were interpreted without the AI results.
Lung nodules were identified in 2% of the evaluated patients. Analysis showed that the detection rate for actionable lung nodules on chest x-rays more than doubled when aided by AI (0.59%) than without AI assistance (0.25%). Moreover, the detection rate of malignant lung nodules on chest radiographs was higher in the AI group (0.15%) than in the non-AI group (0%). There was no significant difference in the false-referral rates between AI and non-AI-interpreted groups. Furthermore, health characteristics including older age and a history of lung cancer or tuberculosis did not have an impact on the efficacy of Lunit's AI solution, suggesting the algorithm's consistency across different populations.
"This is the first real-world evidence proving that AI for chest radiography can improve actionable nodule detection without increasing false positives," said Brandon Suh, CEO of Lunit. "We believe that this prospective study will lay the groundwork for AI to eventually become the standard of care for chest radiography."
"As our trial was conducted with a pragmatic approach, almost all enrolled participants were included, which is a real clinical setting," said study co-author Jin Mo Goo, M.D., Ph.D., from the Department of Radiology at Seoul National University Hospital. "Our study provided strong evidence that AI could really help in interpreting chest radiography. This will contribute to identifying chest diseases, especially lung cancer, more effectively at an earlier stage."

As Americans continue to reel from the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas that left 19 students and 2 teachers dead, headlines and commentators repeat a common refrain: The U.S is the only country where this happens.
Nowadays that may be true, but 26 years ago, it happened in Scotland. In March 1996, a gunman entered Dunblane Primary School, killing 16 students, a teacher, and injuring 15 others. To this day, it is the deadliest mass shooting in UK history.
But that's where the similarities end. In the aftermath of the shooting, parents in Dunblane were able to mobilize with the kind of effectiveness that has eluded American gun control activists. By the following year, Parliament had banned private ownership of most handguns, as well as semi-automatic weapons, and required mandatory registration for shotgun owners. There have been no school shootings in the U.K since then.
"The comparisons between the U.S. and Britain now should make shocking reading to anyone in America," says Mick North, whose five-year-old daughter, Sophie, was killed at Dunblane. He's one of the founding members of the group Gun Control Network, which advocated for new laws in the aftermath of the Dunblane shooting.
Over the past several years, England, Scotland and Wales combined have seen around thirty gun deaths a year. By comparison, according to the CDC, the number of murders involving firearms in the United States in 2020 was 19,384.
"Even setting aside the difference in the size of the country, that is a horrendous difference," says North.
At the time of the Dunblane shooting, he and other activists did face difficulties making their schools safer – including skepticism from members of the Royal Family. In an interview with the BBC, Prince Philip compared the banning of guns to the banning of cricket bats, saying that both had the potential for danger if misused. It's an argument that's similar to those made by the gun lobby in the United States.
"The criticism of others that these people might choose some other means of causing harm doesn't really acknowledge how very dangerous guns are compared with other weapons," says North. "It is too easy for somebody to pick up something like a gun and cause havoc within seconds and certainly within minutes."
The strong heritage of gun ownership in the U.S. – and the Constitutional right to bear arms – is an obstacle that British gun control activists like North didn't have to wrestle with in the aftermath of the Dunblane shooting. And yet, he sees other countries with similar histories which have successfully passed strict gun control measures.
"Yes, the whole culture around guns is different in the U.S. But there are other countries in the world where there's a frontier mentality - shall we say, Canada, Australia - who have adopted tighter controls over guns," North says. "So I think America should perhaps be comparing itself not necessarily with Britain alone but with a whole range of countries who have unfortunately experienced mass shootings but only a small number of them."

Senator Chuck Schumer calls for FDA investigation into high caffeine content of Prime Energy drinks
New York (CNN) — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has called on the US Food and Drug Administration to investigate the high caffeine content of Prime Energy drinks, which he claims are being targeted to children as “one of the summer’s hottest beverages for kids.”
Schumer said cans of Prime Energy drinks contain more than double the caffeine of a can of Red Bull and six times more caffeine than a can of Coca-Cola. He warned parents the drink is gaining popularity on social media. The company does not recommend the drinks for anyone under the age of 18, according to information on its website. Schumer claimed marketing for the beverage is tempting for minors.
Speaking at a news conference in New York on Sunday, Schumer said, “This stuff called Prime … at just 12 ounces Prime has an eye-popping level of caffeine and that’s giving parents and doctors the jitters for the kids that are targets. Here’s the other problem, most parents haven’t even heard of this stuff that their kids are begging for.”
“Prime is born from the reels of social media and the enigmatic world of influencers,” Schumer said. “Kids see it on their phones as they scroll and then they actually have a need for it.”
Speaking at the same news conference, Dr. Edith R. Bracho-Sanchez said high amounts of caffeine can cause children to have headaches, jitters, anxiety, nervousness, and sleeping problems.
“What this drink is giving you is a caffeine rush, it is a high, followed by a crash,” Dr. Bracho-Sanchez said.
CNN has reached out to Prime for response. On the company’s website, a fact page states, “Prime Energy contains 200mg of caffeine, per 12 oz. can. Prime Energy is not recommended for children under the age of 18, women who are pregnant or nursing or individuals who are sensitive to caffeine.”
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no caffeinated coffee, tea, soda, sports drinks or other products for children under the age of 12, while adolescents between the ages of age 12 and 18 should limit their intake to less than 100 milligrams per day.
The FDA says 400 milligrams of caffeine a day for healthy adults is “not generally associated with dangerous, negative effects.”
CNN has reached out to the FDA for comment. | 2023-07-10T21:31:16+00:00 | wishtv.com | https://www.wishtv.com/news/national/senator-chuck-schumer-calls-for-fda-investigation-into-high-caffeine-content-of-prime-energy-drinks/ |
GENEVA (AP) — The U.N. human rights chief has called for an expansion in regular migration channels and search-and-rescue operations after a “steep increase” in the number of migrants and asylum-seekers making risky attempts to cross the central Mediterranean to Europe.
Volker Türk called for solidarity with Italy, which has traditionally received most of the influx, adding that the Italian coast guard had rescued some 2,000 people on the route since Friday. Italy’s right-wing government this week imposed a six-month state of emergency to deal with the situation.
“We are seeing a steep increase in the number of desperate people putting their lives at grave risk,” said Türk, who is the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, in a statement. “We cannot afford to dither, and to become embroiled in yet another debate about who is responsible.”
“Human lives are at stake,” he said, while also urging Italy’s government to scrap a law passed this year that restricts civilian search and rescue operations.
The appeal came a day after the International Organization for Migration announced the reported number of dead and missing along the central Mediterranean reached the highest level of any first quarter since 2017 in the first three months of this year.
The IOM documented 441 migrant deaths along the route during January, February and March 2023, compared with 742 in 2017 and 446 in 2015.
Also Thursday, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said it was scaling up humanitarian assistance and protection services along the route — including psychological support, first aid, family reunification services and help with disembarkation in Italy. | 2023-04-13T22:28:22+00:00 | wboy.com | https://www.wboy.com/news/world/un-rights-chief-seeks-help-for-surge-in-central-med-migrants/ |

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A 21-year-old Cleveland man was sentenced to 18 years to life in prison for a revenge shooting that left an innocent man dead.
Joshua Browning pleaded guilty to murder last week for gunning down Brian McGrady July 2 in the 3100 block of West 44th Street.
Browning shot McGrady multiple times in the chest in retaliation for the attempted murder of 21-year-old Thomas "T.J." Simms, Browning's co-defendant in a drug trafficking case.
McGrady was sitting on a porch with friends in the early morning when Browning walked up and asked to use a lighter, Assistant Prosecutor Brian McDonough said.
Browning then pulled out a handgun and shot McGrady.
He thought McGrady was Herbert McCloud, one of two men accused in the Simms shooting.
McCloud and Samuel Jones are charged in the shooting, which left Simms paralyzed.
Browning tried to hide in Parma after the killing. Deputy marshals stormed a Parmatown apartment building Sept. 15 to arrest him. | 2022-06-10T10:45:01+00:00 | cleveland.com | https://www.cleveland.com/metro/2011/01/cleveland_man_admits_killing_t.html |

LUSAIL, Qatar (AP) — Vincent Aboubakar’s powerful header was historic for Cameroon and Africa at the World Cup.
The stoppage-time goal didn't help Cameroon reach the round of 16 despite the team's 1-0 win over Brazil's reserves on Friday. But it handed the five-time champions their first group-stage loss in 24 years, and gave Africa its first win against the Seleçao at the tournament.
Aboubakar was sent off after a second booking for taking off his shirt during his celebration, leading him to miss the final minutes of his team’s big victory.
Brazil had won its previous seven matches against African opponents at the World Cup.
“We can be proud,” Cameroon goalkeeper Devis Epassy said. “We worked very hard. Unfortunately, though, we didn’t qualify, and that’s why are are not too happy.”
Brazil, which had already reached the knockout stage after victories over Serbia and Switzerland, still finished first in Group H. It ended with six points, the same as Switzerland, but the South Americans had a better goal difference. Cameroon ended with four points and Serbia had one.
Brazil will face South Korea in the round of 16, while the Swiss will play against Portugal.
It was the 11th straight time Brazil won its World Cup group. It had won 17 straight group games since a 2-1 loss to Norway in 1998 in France. It had lost only one of its last 29 group matches at the tournament.
Cameroon hadn’t won any of its last nine World Cup matches, with eight losses and a draw — against Ireland in its opening game at the 2002 tournament.
Coach Tite rested nearly all of his regular starters and made 10 changes from the win against Switzerland on Monday.
Brazil was still without the injured Neymar, but the star forward was at Lusail Stadium to watch the match with his teammates.
Both teams created some good scoring chances, but couldn’t capitalize on them until Aboubakar's winner off a right-flank cross by Jerome Ngom Mbekeli, who had entered the match in the 86th minute.
The Cameroon captain threw his shirt to the ground near the corner flag and waited for his teammates as they rushed toward him. He then left the field after the referee showed him the red card.
Antony, Pedro and Gabriel Martinelli had some of the best opportunities for Brazil, while Aboubakar had already come close for Cameroon.
Brazil finally conceded an attempt on target after not having done so in the first two matches.
Cameroon, which opened with a 1-0 loss to Switzerland, had endured a small crisis after its 3-3 draw with Serbia, with goalkeeper Andre Onana being sent home for disciplinary reasons after a dispute with coach Rigobert Song.
Cameroon didn’t qualify for the last World Cup in Russia four years ago.
ALVES’ RECORD
With his start Friday, the 39-year-old Dani Alves became the oldest Brazilian to play at a World Cup, ahead of 38-year-old central defender Thiago Silva, Brazil’s captain in Qatar. Alves’ last game at a World Cup had been in the round of 16 of the 2014 tournament in Brazil. The right back was injured before the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
NEYMAR THE STAR
Neymar joined his teammates at the stadium for the first time since injuring his right ankle in Brazil’s opener against Switzerland.
He wasn't limping as he got off the team’s bus and even played with the ball as his teammates warmed up. The crowd cheered loudly when the stadium’s big screen showed him singing the national anthem before the match. He later sat in the stands behind the bench, with fans trying to get close and take photos of him.
REMEMBERING PELÉ
Brazilian fans showed their support for soccer great Pelé, who is hospitalized in Sao Paulo with a respiratory infection.
They displayed a banner with the image of Pelé holding a soccer ball behind one of the goals, and opened a large flag with an image of the Brazil great and the words: “Pelé. Get well soon.” One fan in the stands held up a jersey with a photo of Pelé on it.

CDC: Recalled eye drops linked to vision loss, eye removal, death
(CNN) - Recalled eye drops have been linked to dozens of dangerous infections and at least one death.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified 68 patients in 16 states with infections from Global Pharma Healthcare’s Artificial Tears Lubricant Eye Drops.
The artificial tears, distributed by Ezricare and Delsam Pharma, were first recalled in February.
According to the CDC, patients were infected by a rare strain of drug-resistant bacteria never before reported in the U.S.
Eight patients reported losing vision, and four had to have eyeballs surgically removed.
One person died.
The CDC says anyone who has used Ezricare or Delsam Pharma’s artificial tears and has signs of an eye infection should seek medical care immediately.
Symptoms include discharge from the eye, eye pain or discomfort, increased light sensitivity and blurry vision.
