TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Former Florida Democratic candidate for governor Andrew Gillum, who came within a whisker of defeating Republican Ron DeSantis in 2018, was acquitted Thursday of lying to the FBI in a corruption case that also involved illegal use of campaign contributions.
But the federal jury hung on charges that Gillum funneled tens of thousands of dollars in campaign money to personal accounts. Prosecutors said they will retry him on those counts. They had claimed Gillum was struggling financially after quitting his $120,000-a-year job with the People for the American Way group to run for governor.
Gillum was acquitted of lying to undercover FBI agents posing as developers who paid for a 2016 trip he took with his brother to New York, including hotel rooms, meals, a boat tour and a ticket to the hit Broadway show “Hamilton.”
Outside the courthouse, Gillum thanked his family, wife, legal team and pastor for their support, but took a dig at prosecutors.
“They have quite literally tried to take everything from us. And the beauty is in our system the powers that be don’t always get to decide. Everyday people like you and me sometimes get our swing at the ball,” he said.
Asked about what comes next, Gillum said “sleep” as he walked away from a gaggle of news reporters.
Gillum had faced a potentially lengthy prison sentence if convicted, although, under federal sentencing guidelines, he would have likely gotten far less than the maximum.
The jury came back hung for public relations executive and Gillum adviser, co-defendant Sharon Lettman-Hicks, in the case. Prosecutors said they will also retry her.
Gillum, 43, a former Tallahassee mayor, sought to become the first Black governor in Florida history when he took on DeSantis in 2018. Gillum lost by less than 34,000 votes to DeSantis, triggering an automatic recount. | 2023-05-05T00:30:44+00:00 | fox44news.com | https://www.fox44news.com/news/political-news/ex-democrat-florida-gov-nominee-not-guilty-of-lying-to-fbi/ |

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., July 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Founder of The Dawn Project and secure software expert Dan O'Dowd has implored policymakers to ensure that legislation regarding autonomous vehicles prioritizes public safety. Dan O'Dowd is advocating for there to be standards that all autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles must meet, together with safety tests that they must pass, before they are released onto public roads.
Before a carmaker can sell a product whose name suggests that it is autonomous, the manufacturer must demonstrate that the product can achieve 10,000 miles between disengagements. All autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles must also be able to consistently pass a driver's test, and be retested every time there is an update to the software. These vehicles must also be able to read and be familiar with each state's Driver's Handbook, and obey all standards and instructions contained in it.
In a letter addressed to ranking members of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Innovation, Data, and Commerce, Dan O'Dowd urged regulators to ensure that legislative measures are taken to address the deadly safety risk represented by Tesla Full Self-Driving as Congress contemplates federal frameworks to regulate the AV industry.
Dan O'Dowd's public letter, which was addressed to Chairwoman Rodgers, Ranking Member Pallone, Chairman Bilirakis and Ranking Member Schakowsky, follows the news that legislators considered regulation on the adoption of self-driving vehicles at a congressional hearing on July 26, in a hearing entitled: "Self-Driving Vehicle Legislative Framework: Enhancing Safety, Improving Lives and Mobility, and Beating China."
In the absence of a comprehensive federal framework on software security and safety in the autonomous vehicle sector, safety experts have called upon Congress to introduce measures to protect road users from experimental and untested software being deployed on public roads. Dan's open letter follows other leading safety advocates pressuring Congress to act, after open source statistics provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) have revealed that, since June 2021, Tesla's self-driving systems have been active in 840 accidents. As such, Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety President Cathy Chase recently commented: "Congress must take action to make our roads safer, not open them up to unproven and unregulated vehicles."
Founder of The Dawn Project and secure software expert Dan O'Dowd commented: "For the past two years, we have warned NHTSA, Congress and the public of the critical safety defects present in Tesla's dangerous and defective self-driving systems. Now is the time to act to protect the public from dangerous, experimental technology to ensure that driver control systems, such as advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicles, are tested to be 100% safe before they are put into production and sold to the public. Under current law, there are no restrictions to placing any technology in vehicles, no matter how dangerous that technology may be.
We implore Congress to close this dangerous gap in current law. Tesla's unchecked deployment of its self-driving systems, 'Full Self-Driving' and 'Autopilot', is a clear and present danger to our road users. Per data from NHTSA's Standing General Order on Crash Reporting, at least 23 Americans have already died in crashes involving Tesla's self-driving software since June 2021. Open-source data from community trackers of deaths involving Tesla's self-driving systems place the total number of fatalities at 38 since 2016. In its present state, this defective technology has no place on our public roads.
The Dawn Project tests have revealed a litany of defects, including that a self-driving Tesla will run down a child sized mannequin crossing the road, blow past a stop sign at 35mph, overtake stopped school buses displaying their warnings, ignore 'Do Not Enter' and 'Road Closed' signs and run over a stroller in its path.
NHTSA's statistics show the true extent of the threat that Tesla's self-driving software poses to other drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. Since June 2021, Tesla's self-driving systems have been active in 840 accidents. For context, Honda, the manufacturer with the second highest number of crashes, reported 108 during this period. Despite this, Tesla has been allowed to deploy this software on every road in the US, and has shipped its self-driving technology to over a million customers.
In 2022, we presented our findings to NHTSA's senior leadership, urging them to thoroughly investigate Full Self-Driving and providing them with all the information needed to methodically recreate our tests. I met with Senator Richard Blumenthal, where we discussed the flagrant risks of Tesla's self-driving systems. I have also met in person with many members of the Energy and Commerce and Transportation and Infrastructure Committees. Despite multiple investigations into Tesla's self-driving technology and a recall of Tesla's Full Self-Driving software, NHTSA has taken no action to remove this threat from our roads, which is why I implore you to ensure that legislative measures are taken to address this deadly safety risk.
I implore you to ensure that legislation regarding autonomous vehicles puts the safety of Americans first and foremost. Unlike other self-driving manufacturers such as Waymo and Cruise, who test their vehicles in carefully mapped and geofenced environments, Tesla has recklessly deployed their self-driving technology to "anyone in North America", per Elon Musk. We must not stand by while self-driving Teslas continue to claim lives on our roads and threaten our national security. We cannot jeopardize the safety of ordinary Americans any longer - Tesla's self-driving systems must be taken off our roads until they are conclusively proven to be safe."
Dan O'Dowd's public letter was written on 25 July 2023, and addressed to Chairwoman Rodgers, Ranking Member Pallone, Chairman Bilirakis and Ranking Member Schakowsky. A full copy of the letter can be found here.
Dan's letter follows more than twenty other safety advocacy organizations expressing their concerns to Congress about legislation on autonomous vehicles, which can be found here.
Dan O'Dowd is an entrepreneur and CEO with over 40 years' experience in designing and writing secure, safety-critical software. Dan has built operating systems for the U.S. military's fighter jets and some of the world's most trusted organizations such as NASA, Boeing, and Airbus.
In 2021, Dan O'Dowd founded The Dawn Project, which campaigns to make computers safe for humanity by ensuring that all software in safety-critical infrastructure never fails and can't be hacked. The first danger The Dawn Project is tackling is Elon Musk's reckless deployment of unsafe Full Self-Driving cars on our roads.

(The Hill) — A progressive grassroots organization that supported Sen. Bernie Sanders’s (I-Vt.) 2016 and 2020 White House bids announced on Monday that it will launch a campaign to oppose President Joe Biden’s reelection in 2024.
RootsAction wrote in a press release that Biden has been “neither bold nor inspiring” since taking office early last year. And because his “prospects for winning re-election appear to be bleak,” it will launch the #DontRunJoe campaign on Nov. 9, one day after the midterm elections.
“In 2024 the United States will face the dual imperatives of preventing a Republican takeover of the White House and advancing a truly progressive agenda. The stakes could not be higher,” RootsAction wrote in the release. “The threat of a neofascist GOP has become all too obvious. Bold and inspiring leadership from the Oval Office will be essential.
“With so much at stake, making [Biden] the Democratic Party’s standard-bearer in 2024 would be a tragic mistake,” the progressive group added.
Since taking office last year, Biden has struggled with a cascading series of crises, from supply chain disruptions and high inflation to a chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Supreme Court overturning the nearly 50-years-old constitutional right to abortion.
The Biden administration has been criticized, especially by the more progressive wing of the Democratic Party, for failing to address the crises with strong action.
The president has also not heeded progressive calls on student loan debt and failed to pass a comprehensive federal voting rights bill into law, while his social spending and climate change package has stalled in Congress.
RootsAction was founded in 2011 to galvanize voters against what they call a rising extremist Republican Party. Members also want to dramatically address social, economic and environmental issues. The liberal group supported Biden as the nominee in 2020 but has since taken issue with the president’s more moderate agenda.
On Monday, the organization said moderate policies “have failed to truly address such pressing concerns as the climate emergency, voting rights, student debt, health care, corporate price-gouging, and bloated military spending in tandem with anemic diplomacy.”
Poll after poll has shown Biden’s job approval ratings remain at abysmally low levels ahead of the midterms. Around 71 percent of Americans do not want Biden to run for reelection, according to a Harvard CAPS-Harris poll.
On Monday, a New York Times-Siena College poll showed 64 percent of Democrats would prefer a Democratic candidate other than Biden in the 2024 race. More than two-thirds of respondents in the poll cited age — Biden is 79 — and job performance, while about 10 percent said he was not progressive enough.
Biden won in 2020 with a historic amount of votes, with more than 81 million Americans supporting him in the election. He has said he will run again in 2024 if his health allows, and Vice President Kamala Harris has affirmed the same.
Popular liberals who have sought the White House, such as Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), have said they will not run against Biden if he chooses to seek reelection.
“Biden triumphed over Donald Trump in 2020 with vital help from extraordinary grassroots efforts in swing states by progressive organizations,” RootsAction wrote on Monday. “A president is not his party’s king, and he has no automatic right to renomination. Joe Biden should not seek it. If he does, he will have a fight on his hands.” | 2022-07-12T19:24:35+00:00 | wjhl.com | https://www.wjhl.com/news/national/pro-bernie-sanders-group-launches-campaign-urging-biden-not-to-run-for-reelection/ |
LUSAKA, Zambia (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris may have traveled halfway around the world to reach this corner of Africa, but she was welcomed as a “daughter of our own country” when she sat down with Zambia’s leader.
The visit, President Hakainde Hichilema said, was “like a homecoming.”
It was a reference to a childhood trip to Zambia when Harris’ grandfather worked here, but she heard similar refrains throughout her weeklong trip to Africa that ended Saturday.
In Ghana, President Nana Akufo-Addo told Harris “you’re welcome home.” In Tanzania, a sign in Swahili told Harris to “feel at home.”
The greetings were a reflection of the enduring connections between the African diaspora in the United States and Africans themselves, something that America’s first Black vice president fostered during her trip. Although her historic status has led to extreme scrutiny and extraordinary expectations in Washington, it was a source of excitement over the past week.
“She is the ambassador we need at the moment,” said Tracy Sharpley-Whiting, who chairs African American and Diaspora Studies at Vanderbilt University. “That’s a joyous thing.”
Harris’ background did not spare her from difficult conversations about U.S. foreign policy and she was pressed in Africa about visas, private investment and funding to deal with climate change. There’s also skepticism over whether the United States will follow through with its commitments and over its attempts to rival China’s own influence in Africa.
But at every stop, Harris was warmly embraced.
“Kamala Harris! Kamala Harris!” young girls shouted on the tarmac when she landed in Lusaka on Friday. She approached them with her hand on her chest in gratitude. “The VP is here! The VP is here!”
The last week produced none of the unfortunate viral moments that dogged Harris on previous foreign trips, such as when she laughed off a question about visiting the U.S. border with Mexico or when she said the U.S. had an “alliance with the Republic of North Korea.”
Instead, the trip to Africa was largely overshadowed by a cascade of U.S. news, including a school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee, and the indictment of former President Donald Trump.
But anyone tuning in would have seen Harris hanging out with actor Idris Elba and actor-singer Sheryl Lee Ralph at a recording studio in Accra, Ghana’s capital, or collecting business cards from young entrepreneurs in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, or walking through rows of peppers at a farm outside of Lusaka. Sometimes she felt comfortable enough to discard her prepared remarks, a rarity for a politician who sticks closely to the script in Washington.
Although Africa remains a poor continent with almost half the population lacking access to electricity, Harris’ itinerary was aimed at portraying it as young, dynamic, innovative — and primed for American business opportunities, particularly with leaders from the diaspora.
The most glamorous event was a state banquet at the Ghanaian presidential palace known as the Jubilee House, where Black American celebrities, business people and civil rights activists gathered.
In her toast, Harris paid tribute to attendees who “represent the glorious beauty of the African diaspora” and she spoke about “our shared destiny.”
Akufo-Addo, the president, honored Harris with a local touch.
“Since you were born on a Tuesday, I’m sure you would not mind the Ghanaian name Abena, the Akan name for all Tuesday born females, to your name,” he said.
Raising his glass, Akufo-Addo toasted “the honorable Kamala Devi Abena Harris.”
Marc Morial, president of the National Urban League, said there was a “festive and family” atmosphere to be there with the first Black vice president in U.S. history.
“It’s a moment of pride,” he said. “And it’s a moment of opportunity.”
The trip could be Harris’ last foray overseas before the 2024 campaign begins in earnest. President Joe Biden is expected to announce his reelection run, and Harris will be a prime target for Republican attacks.
Some of that is the result of Biden’s age — he would be 82 when starting a second term in 2025 — and Harris’ status a heartbeat away from the presidency.
But like President Barack Obama before her, Harris has faced racism and questions when it comes to her heritage.
Her father was born in Jamaica, where most Black citizens trace their heritage to Africa through the slave trade, making it likely that Harris’ own ancestors were enslaved.
Her mother was born in India, and the vice president was raised in California, contributing to a multicultural background that defies easy characterization. (It was her mother’s Indian father who worked in Zambia decades ago, helping to settle refugees in the newly independent African country.)
But Harris wrote in her book, “The Truths We Hold,” that her mother was clear-eyed about what it meant to raise two daughters in the United States. “She knew that her adopted homeland would see Maya and me as black girls, and she was determined to make sure we would grow into confident, proud black women,” Harris wrote.
Harris wrote that when she arrived at Howard University in Washington, a predominantly Black institution that has educated generations of Black political and cultural leaders, she thought, “This is heaven.”
“There were hundreds of people, and everyone looked like me,” Harris wrote. “The campus was a place where you didn’t have to be confined to the box of another person’s choosing.”
Harris was San Francisco’s district attorney while Obama was running for president, and she defended him when his racial identity was questioned. He’s the son of a white American mother and a Kenyan father, and he spent part of his youth in Indonesia.
She told the San Francisco Chronicle that Obama “is opening up what has been a limited perspective of who is an African American.”
“We are diverse and multifaceted,” Harris said. “People are bombarded with stereotypical images and so they are limited in their ability to imagine our capacity.”
Harris faced the same strain of commentary during her own presidential campaign in 2020.
“I think they don’t understand who Black people are. I’m not going to spend my time trying to educate people about who Black people are,” she said in a radio interview at the time.
The relationship between the African diaspora and Africans on the continent has been complicated by the history of slavery. African Americans often aren’t sure of their roots because their ancestors were kidnapped and traded. According to the vice president’s office, Harris hasn’t traced her heritage back here, either.
Nevertheless, Sharpley-Whiting said the bond to Africa remains strong for many Black Americans.
“They recognize it as the place where their ancestors started, and they recognize the resilience of those ancestors,” she said.
Harris confronted that history when she visited Cape Coast Castle in Ghana, one of dozens of forts in West Africa where enslaved Africans were imprisoned and then loaded onto ships bound for the Americas. The Caribbean — including Jamaica — was one of the destinations.
“I’m still processing a lot of it,” she told reporters the following day. She lingered on the experiences of pregnant women who were imprisoned there — their babies were taken from them and the women were sent off across the ocean.
“The brutality, the inhumane treatment of human beings is profound,” she said. “And the lasting trauma of that cannot be denied.”
But she soon turned to another topic when asked what she wanted Black Americans to take away from her trip to Africa.
The message, she said, wasn’t just about “how the diaspora came to be.”
It’s about “the resilience, the strength, fortitude, the brilliance, the excellence.” | 2023-04-03T00:35:22+00:00 | wdtn.com | https://www.wdtn.com/news/politics/ap-politics/harris-finds-new-connections-in-africa-as-historic-figure/ |

As of Thursday, Virginia is reporting 2,101,702 cases of the coronavirus across the Commonwealth since March 2020.
In the last seven days, Virginia has averaged 994 newly reported cases a day. In the prior seven-day period, Virginia averaged 1,055 newly reported cases a day.
The past week’s average daily newly reported cases are 5.77% lower than the previous seven-day period.

(The daily breakdown of cases by locality and vaccine numbers are not available until noon, Monday through Friday.)
According to the health department, decreases in cases can be attributed to a person getting tested in a different locality than where they live or the automation process for electronically reported lab results may attach the wrong jurisdiction for a particular zip code.

GYOR, Hungary (AP) — Reka Zalai clocked out for lunch on Thursday in the quality assurance department of an Audi automobile factory in Hungary.
But instead of heading to her ordinary spot in the factory’s lunch room, she walked to a nearby conference hall near the production line to watch a performance of a professional contemporary ballet troupe.
The Ballet Company of Gyor, a city in northwest Hungary that is home to the sprawling car and motor plant, began rehearsing at the factory in January after being forced to shutter their rehearsal hall in response to soaring energy prices.
With nowhere to rehearse and scheduled performances approaching, the troupe approached the Audi factory, a longtime sponsor, which offered to host the dancers in a heated room at the plant for a few weeks during the coldest winter months.
In a converted conference room on Thursday, the dancers honed their pliés and pirouettes, while row upon row of new cars could be seen in a distant lot through the ceiling-high windows, and workers passed by outside dressed in bright red coveralls.
Laszlo Velekei, the ballet company’s director, said that being able to maintain the continuity of rehearsals after the dancers left their theater was essential to keeping them in top form.
“The most important thing in a dancer’s life is that they can’t stop,” Velekei said. “There is a saying that we often repeat to one another: if you miss one day (of rehearsal), it’s no problem. If you miss two days, then the dancer begins to feel it. If you miss three days, then the audience notices, too.”
The Gyor Ballet’s rehearsal hall is one of dozens of Hungarian cultural institutions that have temporarily shut down for the winter season in response to exponentially rising energy prices. Heating bills for some have risen tenfold since last winter, while high inflation and a weakening currency have compounded a dire economic outlook.
Hungary’s government in July declared an “energy emergency” in response to rising prices and supply disruptions linked to Russia’s war in Ukraine. It also made cuts to a popular utility subsidy program that since 2014 had kept the bills of Hungarians among the lowest in the 27-member European Union.
Reka Jakab, a press spokesperson for Audi, said the ballet company wanted to give something back for the plant’s 12,000 workers in return for the rehearsal space.
“They offered to give one open performance for them each week, and they were also open to giving access to the rehearsals whenever the workers have free time,” she said.
She said many workers had never seen a ballet before, but the responses have been very positive.
“Several people said that they would definitely attend the next performance in the theater.”
Zoltan Jekli, a dancer with the Gyor ballet, said that the troupe had overcome some of the limitations of the new space by outfitting the floor with a layer of soft PVC foam and bringing their own equipment to make it feel like home.
“Whenever I come here, it fills me with good feelings and memories and I think everyone (in the troupe) feels the same,” he said. “We don’t have the sense that we’re coming into a car factory. We like to be here.”
Zalai, 28, said she’s “always been amazed by ballet,” but that seeing it up close and getting a chance to break from her daily routine had been a particularly special experience.
“I was really recharged by this half-hour. Time stopped for me,” she said. | 2023-02-18T16:37:07+00:00 | seattletimes.com | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/hungarian-ballet-rehearses-in-car-factory-amid-energy-crunch/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all |
INDIANAPOLIS — Yolanda Cabrera and her 1-year-old daughter were sitting in their living room on Friday afternoon. Little did they know, their lives would be flipped upside down in a matter of seconds.
“I heard a loud sound. Then I blacked out for a minute,” Cabrera said. “As soon as I came to, I heard my daughter screaming.”
That loud noise was a car crashing into their home on Oliver Avenue in a residential area of west side Indy.
“She was in my arms when we flew. Luckily, she only has a scratch and a mark on her,” Cabrera said. “I’m glad it wasn’t anything else. I’m glad that everything happened to me.”
Indianapolis Metro police officials said the driver of the vehicle fled the scene. Cabrera, who was alone with two of her daughters at the time of the crash, said she was pleading for help due to her injuries.
“As for my arm, I don’t know if I am ever going to be able to use it again,” she said. “My foot is really messed up.”
Neighbors rushed into the home to help. Some neighbors said that this is not the first time a car has come crashing into this exact home.
“People blow right through, this house has been hit multiple times,” one anonymous neighbor said. “My house next door has been hit multiple times. My mailbox kept getting mowed down and they had to move my mailbox further away.”
People in the neighborhood said something needs to be done to slow down drivers.
“More lights, more signs. Maybe even a speed bump or two.”
For now, Cabrera, her husband and her three daughters are left trying to pick up the pieces.
“We have to find a place to live. Now we are homeless,” she said. “We have to find a vehicle.”
The family is staying in an extended stay shelter for two weeks, courtesy of the American Red Cross. IMPD is leading the investigation into the crash.

The Cleveland Guardians reported no new COVID-19 cases Thursday, a day after an outbreak inside their clubhouse caused a postponement in Chicago and sent manager Terry Francona and five coaches home from a road trip.
The team said pitching coach Carl Willis will serve as the club’s acting manager for a three-game series this weekend in Minnesota. Willis pitched for the Twins from 1991-95.
Cleveland was off on Thursday.
Guardians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti said in a statement that the team will continue to test personnel and conduct contact tracing.
Antonetti said Willis “will be supported by other individuals throughout the organization until the members of our coaching staff are able to rejoin the team.”
To this point, no players have tested positive with the virus.
Francona learned he was positive on Wednesday about two hours before the scheduled first pitch. Soon after, Major League Baseball scrapped the Guardians’ series finale against the White Sox — the first postponement in the majors by coronavirus-related issues in 2022 — so more testing could be done.
The 63-year-old Francona, who has dealt with major health issues the past two seasons, bussed back to Cleveland on Thursday with coaches and members of the team’s traveling party who also tested positive.
The team said Francona has been placed in health and safety protocols along with bench coach DeMarlo Hale, first-base coach Sandy Alomar, third-base coach Mike Sarbaugh, hitting coach Chris Valaika, assistant pitching coach Joe Torres and hitting analyst Justin Toole.
Hale filled in when Francona stepped away last July, and Alomar served as the team’s acting manager for most of the 2020 season.
The Guardians are expected to bring up some minor league coaches and instructors to fill out the major league staff in the interim.
The team said an additional update will be provided on Friday before the team’s clubhouse opens in Minneapolis.
Wednesday’s postponement — the game will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on July 23 — raised questions about whether teams should return to some of the stricter protocols MLB put in place in 2020.
The Guardians, who had a smaller outbreak earlier this season, had discussed the mask policy on Wednesday before Francona’s positive test triggered the team to conduct more testing and contact tracing.
After playing three games against the Twins, the Guardians will be off on May 23 before hosting the Cincinnati Reds for two.

"Sometimes The Truth Is Worth Fighting For" - Wade Boggs
Watch Exposé Video
BoggsisBlue
LOS ANGELES, April 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Wade Boggs, the iconic World Series winning third baseman and Hall of Famer, spent 18 seasons in Major League Baseball, playing for the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays, and, according to Boggs, unwittingly starring as Pabst Blue Ribbon's mustachioed mascot, Cool Blue.
Boggs discovered his likeness to Blue in 1983, after a now legendary flight and has been on a quest to uncover the truth ever since. Now Boggs is going public with his claims, dropping a video exposé, and demanding beer justice for baseball fans and beer drinkers across the country.
As Wade Boggs says in the video, 'the numbers don't lie!' In 1983 Boggs went 18 for 44 against Pabst Blue Ribbon's home town of Milwaukee, the brand was founded in 1844. 12oz Pabst Blue Ribbon, Boggs is a 12 time All-Star. During his career in Boston, Boggs had 47 triples, Pabst Blue Ribbon's alcohol content, 4.7%.
What does Wade Boggs want? The truth! But Boggs is also fighting for fans everywhere who also want the truth and ice-cold refreshing Pabst Blue Ribbon. Which is why he is demanding beer justice and restitution from Pabst Blue Ribbon, and has issued the following list of demands:
- Admit the truth that Wade Boggs is Cool Blue!
- Give fans a few Pabst Blue Ribbons on Wade Boggs
- Name a brewery after Wade Boggs
- Put Wade Boggs on bottles of Pabst Blue Ribbon
- Publish Wade Boggs' favorite Chicken recipe
- Make Wade Boggs the official spokesperson for Pabst Blue Ribbon
"Pabst Blue Ribbon owes me, and fans across the nation, the truth, Boggs is Blue" says Wade Boggs. "I'm after justice, and nothing tastes better with it than an ice cold PBR. This is why I'm calling on Pabst to meet my demands, admit the truth, and serve up some beers in Cool Blue's honor to fans everywhere."
Boggs has launched a website to host his exposé, Boggsisblue.com, and his demands. Pabst Blue Ribbon has yet to publicly respond to Boggs.

TORONTO (AP) — Yandy Díaz hit a three-run home run and the Tampa Bay Rays — starting an unprecedented nine Latin American position players on Roberto Clemente Day — routed Toronto 11-0 on Thursday to pull within a half-game of the Blue Jays in the wild-card chase.
Clemente, the late Hall of Fame outfielder from Puerto Rico, was a two-time World Series winner and NL MVP who played 18 seasons with Pittsburgh. The Blue Jay nine starting position players came from five countries: Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela and the Dominican Republic.
“Very happy, especially on a day like today,” Díaz said. “I think the Latinos are really putting a stamp on the game of baseball.”
All nine Rays starters, as well as bases coaches Chris Prieto and Rodney Linares, wore No. 21 to honor Clemente. The nine starters posed for a photo on the field after the game.
Díaz said he hoped to put his jersey and a lineup card in a frame to remember the historic day.
Rays manager Kevin Cash said the lineup was based on the batters he wanted to face Toronto right-hander Kevin Gausman.
"Gausman we’ve got as a reverse-split guy, so load up the righties,” Cash said. “It just worked out that they were all the Latin background.”
Shane McClanahan returned from the injured list to pitch five shutout innings.
“I’ve been dying to get back and help this team any way I can,” McClanahan said.
Isaac Paredes hit a solo home run and added an RBI single as the Rays (80-63) won the fifth and final game of the series. Toronto (81-63) will play a four-game series at Tampa Bay, starting next Thursday.
Seattle (80-62), which holds one of the three AL wild-card spots, was idle Thursday, but moved percentage points ahead of Toronto.
Díaz homered in a four-run second inning, his ninth. Paredes made it 5-0 with a leadoff blast in the seventh, his 19th.
Randy Arozarena had three hits, including an RBI single in the ninth, and Manuel Margot added a three-run double later in the six-run frame as Tampa Bay piled on against right-handers Trevor Richards and David Phelps.
Activated off the injured list after missing 15 games because of a left shoulder impingement, McClanahan (12-5) allowed three hits, struck out five and walked one.
“We’re better with him than without him, no doubt about it,” Cash said. He’s such a talented pitcher.”
The left-hander pitched around a pair of singles in the first inning, then retired 14 of the final 16 batters he faced. He lowered his ERA to 2.13.
“Today he was so nasty,” Rays catcher René Pinto said. “We are not machines but he looks like one.”
JT Chargois got two outs in the sixth, Jason Adam worked 1 1/3 innings, Javy Guerra pitched the eighth and Kevin Herget finished the six-hitter, Tampa Bay’s 10th shutout.
Gausman (12-10) allowed five runs and six hits in seven innings, snapping a streak of four straight winning decisions. He struck out seven and walked one.
“Too many mistakes and mistakes magnified with guys on base,” Gausman said.
After Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette hit back-to-back singles in the first, the pair executed a double steal. McClanahan escaped by striking out Matt Chapman and getting Teoscar Hernández to fly out.
Bichette doubled off JT Chargois in the sixth and advanced on Chapman’s infield single but Hernández struck out before Adam came on to strike out pinch hitter Cavan Biggio.
HONORING CLEMENTE
Bichette, right-hander José Berríos, outfielder George Springer and third base coach Luis Rivera wore No. 21 for Toronto.
SWEET DEAL
Two fans from Toronto’s Korean community gave some treats to Rays slugger Ji-Man Choi during batting practice, including one labelled Choco Pie. Choi returned the favor with some signed baseballs.
ROSTER MOVES:
Tampa Bay optioned LHP Josh Fleming to Triple-A Durham to clear a roster spot for McClanahan.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Rays: RHP Shane Baz (right elbow) has started throwing on flat ground but will not return this season, Cash said.
Blue Jays: C Alejandro Kirk (left hip) was not available. Kirk did not play Wednesday.
UP NEXT
Rays: RHP Corey Kluber (10-8, 4.36 ERA) starts Friday as the Rays return home to host Texas. LHP Martín Pérez (11-6, 2.77 ERA) goes for the Rangers.
Blue Jays: Toronto has not named a starter for Friday’s home game against Baltimore. RHP Jordan Lyles (10-10, 4.62 ERA) starts for the Orioles.

AUSTIN, Texas — As public pressure mounts for more information on the deadly Uvalde school shooting, some are concerned that Texas officials will use a legal loophole to block records from being released — even to the victims’ families — once the case is closed.
Since the May 24 shooting at a Texas elementary school that left 19 kids and two teachers dead, law enforcement officials have provided little or conflicting information, sometimes withdrawing statements hours after making them. State police have said some accounts were preliminary and may change as more witnesses are interviewed.
A number of questions remain unanswered by authorities: Why did police take more than an hour to enter the classroom and confront the gunman? What do their body cameras show? How did law enforcement officers communicate with one another and the victims during the attack? What happened when dozens of officers gathered outside the classroom, yet refrained from pursuing the shooter?
Officials have declined to release more details, citing the investigation. Amid the growing silence, lawyers and advocates for the victim’s families are beginning to fear they may never get the answers, that authorities will close the case and rely on the exception to the Texas Public Information law to block the release of any further information.
“They could make that decision; they shouldn’t have that choice,” said Democratic state Rep. Joe Moody of El Paso, who since 2017 has led several efforts to amend the loophole. “To understand what our government is doing should not be that difficult — and right now it is very difficult.”
The law’s exception protects information from being released in crimes for which no one has been convicted. The Texas Attorney General’s Office has ruled that it applies when a suspect is dead. Salvador Ramos, the 18-year-old man who police say was responsible for the mass killing at Robb Elementary School, was fatally shot by law enforcement.
The loophole was created in the 1990s to protect those wrongfully accused or whose cases were dismissed, according to Kelley Shannon, executive director of the Freedom of Information Foundation of Texas. “It is meant to protect the innocent,” Shannon said. But she said that in some cases “it is being used and misused in a way that was never intended.”
Following the shooting, Texas House of Representatives Speaker Dade Phelan, a Republican, took to Twitter to voice his continued support for closing the loophole during the Texas Legislature’s next session, which begins in January 2023.
“More than anything, the families of the Uvalde victims need honest answers and transparency,” Phelan tweeted. He said it would be “absolutely unconscionable” to deny information based on the “dead suspect loophole.”
Charley Wilkison, executive director of the Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas, said the organization was opposed and “will always be opposed” to a loophole amendment proposed in previous years that he said would have allowed the release of records pertaining to law enforcement officers, even those falsely accused of wrongdoing. He said that would negatively affect the officers’ ability to keep working. But Wilkison said he would be willing to participate in future discussions in an attempt to find a middle ground.
Public focus in the Uvalde shooting has been on school district police Chief Pete Arredondo. Steven McCraw, head of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said recently that Arredondo believed the active shooting had turned into a hostage situation, and that he made the “wrong decision” to not order officers to breach the classroom more quickly to confront the gunman.
Arredondo has not responded to requests for comment from The Associated Press. In an interview with The Texas Tribune published Thursday, however, he said he did not consider himself in charge of the law enforcement response and assumed someone else had taken control.
The New York Times reported Thursday that it obtained documents showing police waited for protective equipment as they delayed entering the campus, even as they became aware that some victims needed medical treatment.
If efforts to amend the public information loophole fail and law enforcement continues to refuse to release information, families could turn to any involved federal agencies. In one case in Mesquite, Texas, the parents of an 18-year-old who died after being arrested received records from federal authorities showing that police had used more force against their son than they had originally understood. The police had refused to turn over any information under the legal loophole.
“If someone dies in police custody, this is when we would want to open all of our records,” the father, Robert Dyer, said as he testified before the legislature in 2019 in favor of amending the legal exception.
Mayra Guillen said she and her family were stymied by the state loophole when they tried to get details on a case involving her sister Vanessa Guillen. Authorities say the 20-year-old soldier was killed at a Texas military base by fellow soldier Aaron Robinson, who then disposed of her body.
Military officials and law enforcement said Robinson pulled a gun and shot himself as police were trying to make contact with him. But local police wouldn’t allow Vanessa Guillen’s family to view the officers’ body camera footage of the confrontation because the suspect hadn’t been convicted, Mayra Guillen said.
“We were honestly just trying to receive closure and see if what was being said was true,” Guillen said. “It is only right to have these records be public to some extent. It is so hard to tell whether there will be justice or not.”

GOMA, Congo (AP) — Rebels seized two major towns in eastern Congo after fierce fighting Saturday, doubling the territory they now control, a civil society leader and residents said.
Fighting between the Congolese army and M23 rebels intensified in the vicinity of Rutshuru Centre and Kiwanja on Saturday, with heavy gunfire breaking out in the morning.
John Banyene, president of the local civil society, told The Associated Press that the rebels now controlled Rutshuru Centre and Kiwanja, which is 70 kilometers (43 miles) from the regional capital, Goma.
“As we speak, we confirm that the M23 rebels and their allies control the town of Kiwanja, but the armed forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo are not giving up,” Banyene told journalists in Goma.
There was no immediate confirmation from Congolese authorities or the military on the reported seizure of the two towns.
Daniel Subuka, a Kiwanja resident contacted by telephone by AP, said he saw well-armed M23 rebels making their way into Kiwanja and others heading toward Rutshuru Centre.
The M23 rebels had been largely inactive for nearly a decade before they reemerged last November in eastern Congo. Authorities say nearly 200,000 people have been displaced even before the latest surge in violence over the last week.
Congo’s government has accused neighboring Rwanda of supporting the M23, an allegation Rwanda’s government has repeatedly denied.
The U.N. peacekeeping mission in Congo known as MONUSCO tweeted Saturday that it “strongly condemns the hostile actions of M23 and their serious repercussions on the civilian population.”
MONUSCO said it has raised the alert level of its troops, which are deployed to support the Congolese army in its operation against the M23, and said it is providing air support, intelligence and equipment. | 2022-10-29T22:09:04+00:00 | siouxlandproud.com | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/international/ap-official-m23-rebels-capture-2-more-towns-in-eastern-congo/ |

93% of consumers leave e-commerce carts abandoned, nearly ¾ are likely to return an abandoned digital shopping cart when sent an SMS reminder, new Mitto research reveals
ZURICH, March 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Mitto, a leading provider of global omnichannel communications solutions, today announced it has added support for Shopify, a global provider of essential internet infrastructure for commerce used by millions of e-commerce websites around the world. Mitto's integration with Shopify represents the latest advancement in the growing capabilities of its omnichannel communications platform, and enables brands leveraging one of the world's largest online commerce platforms to deliver fast, reliable two-way A2P messaging directly to their customers.
Mitto's integration with Shopify follows new research from the omnichannel communications provider around the power of SMS/text messages to encourage online shoppers to return to abandoned carts, a growing phenomenon in which customers place items in an online cart but exit the checkout process prior to purchasing. In March, Mitto surveyed 1,000 consumers aged 18+ and found the overwhelming majority — 93% — leave at least one item in their online cart for a period of time before purchasing or leaving. However, when sent an SMS/text messaging reminder, nearly ¾ of respondents (73%) said they are likely to return to their abandoned cart. These message-based reminders are more effective for Millennials and Gen Z — 78% of whom said they are likely to return to an abandoned cart — than their older peers aged 55+ (71%).
With over 4.4 million websites in over 175 countries globally using Shopify for their e-commerce, the ability for SMS/text message abandoned cart reminders, enabled through Mitto's new integration, to drive otherwise-lost revenue, customer engagement and overall brand loyalty for Shopify merchants is incredibly powerful.
"The ongoing rise in online shopping has led to a growing problem for e-commerce merchants: cart abandonment. However, as our research has shown, SMS reminders have the ability to bring customers back into their carts and often through to purchase," said Andrea Giacomini, CEO of Mitto. "Mitto's integration with Shopify arms merchants with direct messaging capabilities to engage in the types of meaningful two-way conversations customers want, and and highlights Mitto's continued push to advance our capabilities to meet the evolving needs of digital brands."
Shopify is a leading global commerce company that offers trusted tools to start, scale, market, and run a retail business of any size. Shopify makes commerce better for everyone with a platform and services that are engineered for speed, customization, reliability, and security, while delivering a better shopping experience for consumers online, in store and everywhere in between. Shopify Inbox creates a single mailbox for all online customer interactions, enabling its customers to manage customer conversations, customize the chat appearance on their online store, create automatic responses, and view conversation analytics. The tool lets e-commerce brands easily add two-way messaging to their online store, allowing brands to communicate with customers during and after the shopping experience to gain insights into what customers have in their cart, share custom discount codes to close sales, and identify conversations that are likely to lead to a sale via automatic message classification
Mitto's integration of Shopify indicates its commitment to advancing its capabilities and its resources to onboard new top-tier tech integrations as customer needs and industry trends evolve. With an aggressive roadmap, dedicated development teams and global reach, Mitto continues to deliver the best omnichannel communications solutions in the market. Mitto has a decade of experience working on the improvement and efficiency of omnichannel messaging through quality technologies. Through its advanced routing platform and direct strategic partnerships with hundreds of operators around the world, Mitto enables optimized communication experiences for the entire ecosystem of mobile operators, messaging aggregators, global brands, and consumers. Mitto currently integrates with over 30 partners, including Shopify. For a full list of Mitto integrations click here.
Anatomy of SMS Cart Abandonment Reminders
Mitto's research on cart abandonment also found a strong appetite for more SMS-text reminders: 71% of consumers surveyed said they would appreciate more follow-up SMS reminders of abandoned carts. When asked what features of SMS abandoned cart reminders are most appealing, over half (51%) said it is the one-click link that directs them right back to their unfinished cart. 42% said the short format of SMS/text messages make them quick to read while about ¼ said the simple format of SMS abandoned cart reminders makes them easy to read.
The content and offers included in SMS/text message abandoned cart reminders is also crucial to their effectiveness. Over half (54%) said discounts on the order are most effective at encouraging them to revisit an abandoned cart, followed by free/discounted shipping (30%), one-click links back to the cart (15%) and a referral bonus (1%).
Three-quarters say it takes only 1-2 reminders in general to return to their abandoned cart, and prefer they be sent late morning (preferred by 26% of respondents) or early afternoon (20%).

(WBRE/WYOU) — In a gutsy prediction, a Pennsylvania coroner is preemptively killing off the Kansas City Chiefs ahead of Super Bowl Sunday.
Lehigh County Coroner Daniel A. Buglio said in a Friday press release that the Chiefs will be “laid to rest” following their appearance at Super Bowl LVII on Sunday.
The apparent cause of death? Being “crushed” at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles.
“The Kansas City Chiefs will be crushed and laid to rest on Sunday, February 12, 2023, at State Farm Stadium, Glendale Arizona,” reads the release, which was obtained by Nexstar’s WBRE.
“Pronouncement will be completed by the Philadelphia Eagles upon completion of the Superbowl [sic],” Buglio added. “Go Eagles!”
A representative for the Lehigh County Coroner’s Office was not immediately available to offer further comment.

3 takeaways from Knights’ loss: Ex-top prospect delivers OT winner
Updated April 4, 2023 - 9:41 pm
The Golden Knights once dreamed of Cody Glass scoring in important late-season games.
He made that a reality Tuesday. In a different uniform.
The Knights’ first-ever draft pick scored his first overtime goal to give the Nashville Predators a 3-2 win at Bridgestone Center. Glass, with his skates almost on the goal line in the offensive zone, tried to thread a backdoor pass to teammate Philip Tomasino on a late power play.
The puck instead bounced off his old teammate Brayden McNabb’s right skate, off the left post and into the net. Glass punched the air in celebration before he was mobbed by his teammates for keeping the Predators’ flickering playoff hopes alive.
The loss gave the Knights a split in their final back-to-back of the season after defeating Minnesota 4-3 in a shootout Monday.
“Sometimes when you try to be unselfish, good things happen,” Glass said. “A good thing happened.”
Glass was once viewed a the future of the Knights’ franchise after being picked sixth overall in 2017.
The team decided to move on after the 2020-21 season, when the 24-year-old had 10 points in 27 games and only made one appearance in the playoffs. Glass was dealt in a three-team trade July 17, 2021, which brought 2017 second overall pick Nolan Patrick to the Knights.
Glass didn’t make much of an impact in his first year in Nashville. He had one assist in eight NHL games, spending most of his time with the American Hockey League’s Milwaukee Admirals.
This season he’s become a regular, with 33 points in 67 games. Glass was the Predators’ first-line center Tuesday with veteran forwards Matt Duchene, Filip Forsberg and Ryan Johansen out injured.
Nashville, with a primary assist from Glass, took a 2-0 lead with 6:52 remaining in the first period thanks to two goals from center Tommy Novak.
The deficit could have been worse. The Knights, after being stymied on a five-on-three power play that lasted 1:46, appeared to allow a third goal with three minutes left in the first. A video review confirmed defenseman Tyson Barrie kicked the puck in and kept Nashville’s lead at 2-0.
The Knights came charging back after that.
They dominated the second period, tying the game behind two goals from defenseman Alex Pietrangelo. The Knights got a late opportunity to win as well when goaltender Kevin Lankinen gave them a power play with 4:30 left in regulation.
They didn’t score, sending them to overtime for the second straight game and the fourth time in their last six contests. The Predators got a late power play of their own when right wing Jonathan Marchessault was called for holding Tomasino with 2:07 remaining in OT.
Glass took it from there. He scored 37 seconds later, moving the Predators within three points of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference with five games remaining.
The Knights, despite the loss, extended their point streak to four games in search of their third division title in six years.
“They were more urgent than us early on,” coach Bruce Cassidy said. “We found our game in the second, started competing harder and were really good, but again, you’ve got pockets of good, pockets of not good enough.”
Here are three takeaways from the loss:
1. Power play falters
The Knights fired nine shots during their three power-play opportunities Tuesday. None of them found the back of the net.
The man advantage continues to be a concern for the team. They Knights are 2-for-21 in their last eight games. The Predators scored two power-play goals Tuesday alone.
“At the end of the day, their special teams outplayed ours,” Cassidy said. “Ended up deciding the game.”
2. Pietrangelo produces
Pietrangelo scored twice in a game for the first time as a Knight, and for the eighth time in his career. He also had a team-high nine shots. He’s only had more once in his 948-game NHL career.
”They were collapsing, playing lower than a lot of teams,” Pietrangelo said. “Thought process was if we can get it to the D, we can get shots through.”
The goals gave Pietrangelo 52 points this season, moving him into a tie with Shea Theodore for the team record for a defenseman. Pietrangelo is also two points off his career high.
3. Lineup changes
Center Chandler Stephenson played for the Knights after missing Monday’s game with an illness.
“It’s always tough when you’re out and you’re watching the guys play,” Stephenson said. “Nice to get one back and feeling a little bit better.”
Left wing Michael Amadio was a healthy scratch as a result. Cassidy kept left wing Pavel Dorofeyev in the lineup after the rookie got two goals and scored in a shootout Monday.

ORANGE, Va. (AP) — Several staffers who were previously fired or suspended during recent turmoil at former President James Madison’s Montpelier estate in Virginia have been reinstated to their jobs.
Montpelier’s recently appointed Interim President and CEO Elizabeth Chew opted to bring back four staff members who were let go in April by previous leadership, the Culpeper Star-Exponent reported. Chew also expressed optimism in an email to supporters that the estate will recover from the recent controversy over how it would, or would not, share governance with the descendants of people once enslaved there.
Earlier this year, the board that manages the estate was criticized for moving to reverse a 2021 commitment to share authority equally with the descendants.
More than 11,000 people, including Montpelier visitors and donors, signed a petition protesting the decision and the firing or suspension of pro-parity staff members with decades of professional experience.
Dozens of organizations also expressed outrage about the board’s retreat. The groups ranged from an organization of descendants of Japanese American citizens interned during World War II to an international association of “sites of conscience” that includes Holocaust museums.
In May, in another reversal, the board elected 11 new members representing descendants of people once enslaved there. The vote created full parity for the descendants in the foundation’s leadership, The Washington Post reported.
Chew herself had previously been terminated from a role as the plantation’s executive vice president and chief curator, but the estate’s board appointed her to the new leadership position in late May. She then reinstated the four staffers who were removed or terminated in April.
“The entire staff has been through so much these past few months, and their return has done much to boost morale and generate hope that as an organization, Montpelier will continue in the right direction,” Chew wrote. | 2022-06-06T11:33:20+00:00 | kxnet.com | https://www.kxnet.com/news/national-news/madison-estate-rehires-staff-let-go-during-recent-turmoil/ |
This story is excerpted from the MT Lowdown, a weekly newsletter digest containing original reporting and analysis published every Friday.
Average annual increase in state General Fund spending proposed by Gov. Greg Gianforte’s 2023-25 budget. That’s equivalent to about $122 million in new spending annually during the two-year fiscal biennium that runs from July 2023 to June 2025, or roughly $111 per Montana resident. Gianforte’s Budget Director, Ryan Osmundson, argued in a press briefing last week that the increase represents a “very conservative budget” given the economy’s rapid rate of inflation, estimated by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics at 14% nationally over the last two years.

The annual ‘turning out’ of the Cripple Creek Donkeys happens May 15
CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo. (KRDO) -- The annual "turning out" of the Cripple Creek Donkeys is almost here.
On May 15, the Two Mile High Club, caretakers of the Cripple Creek Donkeys, will release the animals from their winter quarters. The donkeys will then have free rein in the City of Cripple Creek throughout the remainder of spring, the entire summer, and early fall.
Volunteers will be on hand at the intersection of C Street and Thurlow Ave. where the release will take place.
Officials said the donkeys are eager to be out and about to enjoy the apples, carrots, and special treats available to them at local businesses.
People are invited to join the festive occasion along C Street, on Cripple Creek's southwest corner, and meet the donkeys. That includes the two newest ones, Calypso and Salsa, a mother-and-daughter duo who'll roam with the herd for the first time.
The 92nd Annual Donkey Derby Days happen August 11, 12, and 13 in Cripple Creek. | 2023-04-25T18:38:51+00:00 | krdo.com | https://krdo.com/top-stories/2023/04/25/the-annual-turning-out-of-the-cripple-creek-donkeys-happens-may-15/ |
- Lunit to present five posters at ESMO 2022 featuring the company's AI-biomarker platform
- Studies corroborate the capability of Lunit SCOPE suite to address an expanding set of clinical and research questions based on world-leading digital pathology AI
SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lunit (KRX: 328130.KQ) today announced the presentation of five abstracts highlighting the effectiveness of its AI-biomarker platform - Lunit SCOPE - at the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2022, held in Paris from September 9 to 13.
ESMO is a professional organization for medical oncology, with more than 25,000 members representing oncology professionals from over 160 countries worldwide.
One of Lunit's abstracts focuses on the assessment of tumor purity directly from H&E whole slide images by using Lunit SCOPE AI technology (AI-P) and concordance between AI-P and variant allele frequency (VAF)[1] as determined by next-generation sequencing (NGS). The study showed a strong correlation between the assessment of tumor purity using Lunit SCOPE and VAF across 23 cancer types. The result validates the effectiveness of Lunit SCOPE as a valuable tool to assess tumor purity easily and quickly from H&E slides.
Another study conducted with Dr. SooYoun Cho, Dr. EunYoon Cho and Dr. SangYong Song of Samsung Medical Center, evaluates the performance of Lunit SCOPE HER2 in pathological practices for breast cancer patients. This joint study showed that Lunit's HER2 scoring and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) analysis solution supports the prediction of clinical response for HER2-positive early breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).
In addition, Lunit will also present clinical findings that demonstrate the accuracy of Lunit SCOPE PD-L1 CPS. After classifying PD-L1 Combined Positive Score (CPS) levels in 543 urothelial carcinoma (UC) cases, the AI-powered CPS analyzer showed an equivalent level of accuracy to that of pathologists.
Another study from Lunit reveals the capability of the AI-powered TIL and PD-L1 CPS analysis solution to be utilized as a predictive biomarker for immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) response in neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN).
The last study shows that Lunit SCOPE can discover novel targets for antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) by precisely analyzing linked NGS and IHC data in tumors, highlighting the potential of multimodal analysis linking molecular and visual methods.
Meet the Lunit team in person at ESMO at booth #249.
"Through these studies, Lunit has validated that the Lunit SCOPE suite can expand its range of impact across more types of cancer, to address an expanding number of clinical and research questions," said Brandon Suh, CEO of Lunit. "We intend to continue our research activities and present groundbreaking studies at global cancer congresses every year."

(KTLA) — Taco Bell is bringing back its fan-favorite, limited-time menu item again, the chain announced Tuesday.
Nacho Fries will be available nationwide starting on Thursday, April 13.
The return of the fan-favorite item marks the ninth time Taco Bell has offered the food item.
Nacho Fries will also be available in the Deluxe Cravings Box alongside the Chicken Chalupa Supreme, Beefy 5-Layer Burrito, Doritos Locos Taco and a medium drink for $8.49.
Customers can also try a new variation of the popular dish, Yellowbird Nacho Fries. The limited-edition item pairs Nacho Fries, steak, nacho cheese sauce and Spicy Habanero Ranch sauce.
Yellowbird’s spicy sauce will be available to add to any menu item until April 27 or while supplies last.
“We pride ourselves with serving bold flavors, so partnering with Yellowbird to deliver on spice and craveability feels like second nature,” Liz Matthews, Taco Bell’s chief food innovation officer, said in a statement. “While they won’t be on the menu for long, the Yellowbird Nacho Fries are something really special we’ve been working to bring to fans everywhere.”
Even though the Yellowbird Nacho Fries will only be available for a limited time, customers can still purchase Nacho Fries after April 27. The company didn’t specify how long Nacho Fries will be available.
In December, Taco Bell CEO Mark King said the chain was considering adding Nacho Fries to the menu permanently to increase food options, particularly during lunchtime.
Nacho Fries debuted in 2018 and were met with an overwhelmingly positive response. Nation’s Restaurant News reported that the company sold over 50 million orders of nacho fries within the first five weeks of its release.
Since then, the fries have been added back to the menu periodically. | 2023-04-11T22:37:59+00:00 | kdvr.com | https://kdvr.com/news/nationalworld-news/taco-bell-bringing-back-fan-favorite-item-with-a-spicy-twist-this-week/ |

BROWNSVILLE, Texas (ValleyCentral) — Two men were taken into custody on Friday after allegedly stealing credit cards from a vehicle and using the cards for purchase at several stores, according to the Cameron County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies responded to the 6300 block of Lakeside Boulevard in Olmito in reference to a burglary of a vehicle on Wednesday. Several credit cards were stolen from the vehicle, according to sheriff’s department.
Upon arrival, deputies interviewed the victim, later discovering the victim received alerts that her stolen credit cards were being used at several stores.
Investigators identified the suspects — who they identified as Leonel Cortez, 18; and Giovanni Cisneros, 22 — after obtaining photo and video surveillance from the stores where stolen cards were being used.
Deputies executed an arrest warrant for Cortez and Cisneros at the intersection of Palmito and Gay streets in Olmito.
Cortez is being charged with three counts of credit card abuse, and Cisneros is being charged with one count of credit card abuse, authorities said.
Both were taken to Carrizalez-Rucker Detention Center in Olmito. | 2022-12-23T23:05:57+00:00 | valleycentral.com | https://www.valleycentral.com/news/local-news/sheriff-stolen-credit-cards-used-in-stores-two-arrested/ |

Construction of a new Indiana archives building is slated to begin this summer after a years-long search for a new site to house the state’s vast collection of historical records.
The $102 million building will be located on a narrow strip of land near the Statehouse in downtown Indianapolis, just west of the Senate Avenue Parking Garage on the Central Canal.
In June, the State Budget Committee gave final approval to begin work on the 5-story, 133,000-square foot building.
State officials—including Gov. Eric Holcomb—have maintained that the new building will provide proper storage, maintenance and restoration services for archival documents.
The state archives collection has executive, legislative and judicial records dating back to Indiana’s territorial government of the 1790s, including the 1816 and 1851 state constitutions. That collection has been stored in a warehouse on the east side of Indianapolis that lacks museum-quality climate controls since being moved from the basement of the state library building during a 2001 renovation.
The move was meant to be temporary, given that the location is not equipped for long-term preservation of some of the state’s most important documents.
Matt Kent, chief financial officer at the Indiana Department of Administration, told the budget committee that the new facility will help “ensure the Indiana Archives has the adequate space they need to complete their agency mission.” The building will also “establish a safer environment for the archival records, and also make those records much easier to access for visitors,” he said.
Better conditions for state records
Kent said the new facility will include office space for state archives staff, as well as areas for processing and imaging state records using new technology, climate controlled storage for archive documents, and flexible space for meetings and events.
An underground tunnel connecting the new building to others around the state government campus is additionally planned.
The design and programming phases of the project are already completed.
Now, with funds approved, Kent said groundwork can begin in August at the site—currently an undeveloped plot of land. One lane each on Ohio and New York streets will be closed to facilitate construction.
Vertical construction on the new archives building is expected to start in Spring 2024, Kent said, and the facility will be ready for occupancy in late 2025 or early 2026.
Years in the making
The new project is coming to fruition eight years after former Republican Gov. Mike Pence failed to finance the proposal as part of the state’s bicentennial celebration.
Pence’s contested plan to pay for construction by leasing out state-owned cellphone towers through a public-private partnership was scrapped by Holcomb, Pence’s successor, shortly after taking office in 2017.
State archivists and researchers have since spent years advocating for the new facility.
But settling on a site for the new archives building has been complicated. Previous site considerations included other plots in downtown Indianapolis and the site that was formerly home to the Indiana Women’s Prison.
Authorization for a new state archives building was included in the 2021 Indiana budget. An appropriation to cash-fund the construction was included in the latest two-year budget earlier this year.
State Budget Committee chairman Sen. Ryan Mishler, R-Mishawaka, expressed discontent in June about state spending on the new archive.
“Just for the record, I think we’re going way overboard on an archives building. But I think I’m the only one who feels that way, so I’m outnumbered,” Mishler said.
Also critical was Rep. Ed Delaney, D-Indianapolis, who said that—rather than cash-funding the building—the state could have used its highest-possible “AAA” credit rating to borrow $30 million to $40 million years ago at lower interest rates and completed the project for fewer dollars overall.
“That’s why we’re over the top,” Delaney said about the inflated spending costs.

Iconic Full-Service Restaurant Brand Targets Regional Growth, Identifies Expansion Opportunity in Key Northeastern DMAs
FLEMINGTON, N.J., June 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Hooters®, the original American wing joint, announces the opening of a new location in Flemington, New Jersey at 250 Highway 202. As the brand escalates its worldwide footprint, the Flemington restaurant joins four other locations in New Jersey, including Atlantic City, East Brunswick, Princeton, and Somerset. Company leadership has identified the northeast region as a prime market for continued growth with franchise opportunities available in large DMAs.
Bringing Hooters to the Flemington market is Joe Azir, a New Jersey entrepreneur who already owns two Hooters locations and a hotel. Having officially opened its doors on Friday, May 12, the new location will bring 70 jobs to the community. As Hooters looks to grow throughout the region, Flemington was a target market due to its high traffic and growing population as the city gains in popularity.
"It speaks volumes when we have, yet, another franchisee who doubles-down on their current investment to open more locations," said Michael Arrowsmith, Chief Development Officer of HOA Brands, parent company to Hooters & Hoots Wings. "We've been doing this for 40 years and look forward to continuing to grow our footprint as the industry leaders."
Along with the northeast region, Hooters is targeting additional expansion in areas such as western New York, western Pennsylvania and West Virginia, with a greater focus on underserved areas.
"Now with the Flemington opening, we have 363 restaurants across the globe, and our customers continue to ask for more Hooters where they live, work and socialize," added Arrowsmith. "Joe is a prime example of the ideal Hooters franchisee – a bold, local entrepreneur with experience growing businesses and wanting to join a proven brand that can bring a fun, sporting restaurant to the community."
As an iconic brand with global appeal and 100 percent unaided brand awareness, Hooters has entered its 40th year with a renewed focus on U.S. development with prime territories available across the country. The brand is currently seeking single and multi-unit operators in the northeast region and beyond who are eager to join a legacy brand that leads its sector.
Hooters provides full development support, including site selection, construction assistance, training, marketing, and operations. Hooters continues to seek qualified franchisees with an entrepreneurial spirit and a fearless willingness to lead into the future. Our courageous United States military veterans receive a 10 percent discount off the franchise fee. Additionally, in celebration of their 40th anniversary, Hooters is giving away 40 weeks of free royalties for any new franchisee in the US that signs on for a Hooters franchise in 2023.
The rising success of Hooters has not gone unnoticed, as the brand was ranked on the Nation's Restaurant News 2022 Top 500 list, and was named a Restaurant Power Player to watch in 2022 by FSR Magazine.
Hooters has earned its standing as an icon brand known for its famed Hooters Original Wings and popular All-American Hooters Girls®. Hooters Restaurants have long been among the most well-known neighborhood destinations for food, fun and sports viewing.

(NEXSTAR) – The fight to reduce emissions may be coming into your kitchen. Los Angeles, Seattle, New York, and other progressive cities have already moved to ban most gas appliances in any new homes or apartments.
The logic behind the ban comes down to two main factors: the environment and health.
According to the Environmental Protection Administration, the vast majority of greenhouse gas emissions in residential and commercial settings — about 79% — comes from natural gas use, like combustion in gas heaters and gas ranges. Switching to electric appliances, much like switching to electric cars, can put a significant dent in those emissions.
“Cooking over a natural gas flame is probably the most intimate connection with climate change that we never think about,” Drew Michanowicz, a visiting scientist at Harvard’s public health school, told The Hill in June.
But burning gas in the home doesn’t just pollute city skies, it also pollutes the air in your kitchen. NPR used an air monitor to measure the harmful gas nitrogen dioxide in a kitchen with a gas stove and oven on at the same time, as if they were cooking dinner. After 12 minutes, the journalist found the nitrogen dioxide levels were 60% higher than levels recommended by the World Health Organization.
Research has found the harmful particles emitted by gas stoves can cause asthma and other respiratory issues, especially in children.
Could your city be next?
Gas companies and lobbyists are also responding with ad campaigns reminding people of their attachment to gas stoves — the gas appliance most often highlighted as desirable in real estate listings, too.
“I’d say the industry has put decades of effort and resources into fine tuning their messaging to the American public, and they do it well,” Mejia Cunningham, with the National Resources Defense Council, said in an interview with CNN.
While switching from gas appliances to electric is an effective way to curb emissions, some states are making bans like those in Los Angeles or New York City an impossibility.
Twenty state governments have passed “preemption laws” that prevent cities within the state from implementing natural gas bans, according to CNN. Basically every Southern state has such a law in place, as do places like Utah, Ohio and Iowa.
Those states’ efforts to prevent gas appliance bans is at odds with the federal plan announced earlier this year to offer funding to states, tribes and territories that retrofit homes to be more energy efficient. | 2022-09-03T16:36:19+00:00 | wivb.com | https://www.wivb.com/news/national/why-cities-are-banning-gas-stoves/ |

I opted to not highlight the New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers tilt under the "favorable scoring matchups," but I struggled with the decision. On one hand, we have two of the top five teams in generating offense this season (Devils are first and Rangers are fifth in Corsi for per 60 minutes). On the other hand, we have two of the top three teams in limiting the offense against themselves (Devils are second and Rangers are third in Corsi against per 60 minutes).
So where do we land on this? Does the offense for both teams win out and we get a high-flying affair? Or do the defense shut things down and limit the fantasy points from scoring? It's notable that the struggling Rangers have shortened their bench in a way, moving Artemi Panarin up to a stacked top line with Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider. The trio had Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl in their face for 90 per cent of their ice time on Saturday, so it's understandable they didn't do much. Also at play for the Blueshirts are defensemen partners Adam Fox and Ryan Lindgren both looking questionable heading into the contest.
There were plenty of other matchups to highlight thanks to a busier-than-usual Monday across the NHL. Six games have 12 teams in action, with the two teams from Florida playing as part of a back-to-back set that continues Tuesday. The Tampa Bay Lightning play in Buffalo on Monday and Boston on Tuesday. If you are going to give backup Brian Elliott one of those matchups, you assume Monday against the Buffalo Sabres is the better choice. He's your desperation play in the crease, but we've seen how dangerous these Sabres can be on their "on" nights, so it's probably an unwise play on a Monday.

Favorable scoring match-ups
Florida Panthers at Edmonton Oilers
9:30 p.m., Rogers Place, Watch live on ESPN+
A very intriguing matchup comes for both sides. The Panthers have only picked up one win in their past five games and will be withou captain Aleksander Barkov. The Oilers have two wins in their past five and have been struggling so much with getting the offense sorted post-Evander Kane injury that they stacked Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on a line in their last outing. McDavid actually has some trouble matching up against Matthew Tkachuk; during the previous three seasons while Tkachuk was with the Calgary Flames, Tkachuk leads 13-5 in goals when they were both on the ice at five-on-five (per NaturalStatTrick). And yes, 13 is the most by any forward against McDavid during the past three seasons. (For the record, Tkachuk also leads Draisaitl 10-4 when they were matched up in the previous three seasons). Without Barkov, the Panthers will lean on Anton Lundell to step into a top-six role.
Dallas Stars at St. Louis Blues
8 p.m., Enterprise Center, Watch live on ESPN+
Here's an interesting case study in special teams: The Stars and Blues have both allowed 15 goals while they are shorthanded this season. However, the Stars have been shorthanded the most in the league (89 times) and the Blues have been shorthanded the least (48 times). So the Stars have a habit of giving up more power plays, but are better are killing them, while the Blues stay out of the box but often give up a goal when they are in. On the flip side, both teams are near the bottom of the league for getting power plays -- 65 for the Stars and 58 for the Blues. The line of Pavel Buchnevich, Robert Thomas and Jordan Kyrou, which got together and performed well when Vladimir Tarasenko missed a couple games, has remained a unit.
Vegas Golden Knights at Columbus Blue Jackets
7 p.m., Nationwide Arena, Watch live on ESPN+
Johnny Gaudreau missed practice on Sunday due to illness, so he'll be questionable unless we get some certainty later on Monday. Add him to the wounded among the Blue Jackets and you can basically make what could have been the team's starting lineup on opening night (Gaudreau, Patrik Laine, Jakub Voracek, Zach Werenski, Jake Bean and Elvis Merzlikins). As bad as their record is overall, the Blue Jackets are 6-7-0 at Nationwide Arena, so don't underestimate them as a potential source of some points here. The Golden Knights are looking to shake off consecutive losses at home to the Kraken and Canucks. They are 9-1-1 on the road.
Mid-tier fantasy forwards
Alex Killorn, W, Tampa Bay Lightning (39.1%): He's been picking up his play of late and owns a 1.9 fantasy points per game (FPPG) rate over the past four weeks. It also helps that Killorn has worked his way back to the Bolts top power-play unit. Brandon Hagel had been getting a long look, but Killorn was back in his usual spot on Friday. Additionally, only the Canucks and Ducks have allowed more power-play goals against than the Oilers.
See also:
Sam Bennett, C, Florida Panthers (67.3%)
Nicholas Paul, C/W, Tampa Bay Lightning (17.4%)
Deep league/Daily Fantasy value forwards
Jesse Puljujarvi, W, Edmonton Oilers (2.2%): We continue to give Puljujarvi attention long past when you would ignore other players with only five points -- and it's because of the company he keeps. This time, he's not just playing with one of Connor McDavid or Leon Draisaitl, he's playing with both of them! The Oilers stacked their star centers on Saturday and won their game, so here's betting they go back to the well. Puljujarvi picked up an assist on Saturday, along for the ride.
Jesse Puljujarvi's goal puts the Oilers on the board
Jesse Puljujarvi scores the goal to put the Oilers on the board first.
Calle Jarnkrok, C/W, Toronto Maple Leafs (0.6%): Also getting some top-six run with some star power, Jarnkrok shared the ice Friday and Saturday with Mitch Marner and John Tavares. He earned a point in each contest.
See also:
Josh Leivo, W, St. Louis Blues (0.0%)
Dylan Cozens, C/W, Buffalo Sabres (6.9%)
Kent Johnson, C/W, Columbus Blue Jackets (5.0%)
Eetu Luostarinen, C/W, Florida Panthers (1.1%)
Mid-tier fantasy defensemen
Gustav Forsling, D, Florida Panthers (38.3%): Aaron Ekblad is heating up and Forsling, his defense partner, is coming right along with him. He's averaged 2.0 FPPG since Ekblad's return.
See also:
Torey Krug, D, St. Louis Blues (42.9%)
Filip Hronek, D, Detroit Red Wings (46.5%)
Deep league/Daily Fantasy value defensemen
Rasmus Sandin, D, Toronto Maple Leafs (2.8%): Admittedly, there's nothing to show for it after three games and I wonder if the Leafs are going to give Mark Giordano or Timothy Liljegren some run as the power-play quarterback, but until that happens Sandin should be in lineups. With Morgan Rielly shelved for the medium-term, this spot on the Leafs power play is a golden opportunity.
See also:
Marcus Bjork, D, Columbus Blue Jackets (1.5%)
Jani Hakanpaa, D, Dallas Stars (5.6%)
Goalies
Sergei Bobrovsky, G, Florida Panthers (67.0%): This could also be Spencer Knight, as it's unclear still early Monday which goaltender will start this game in Edmonton and which will start the next night in Calgary for Huberdeau-Tkachuk Bowl 2.0. But I don't hate this matchup with the Oilers. As evidenced above, Tkachuk really has McDavid's number when he gets to defend him. And, after a slow start, the Panthers have really come on lately in the possession game and are challenging the Carolina Hurricanes and New Jersey Devils for tops in the league, while the Oilers are still a subpar possession team (19th in league at five-on-five).
Bench 'em
Jake Oettinger, G, Dallas Stars (98.0%): You probably don't actually bench him in your fantasy league, but I'll point out that the Stars have only won one of their past four games and they allowed four goals to the Blackhawks in doing so. The Blues are a dangerous opponent and both teams have been participating in high-scoring affairs of late. | 2022-11-28T17:29:03+00:00 | espn.com | https://www.espn.com/fantasy/hockey/story/_/id/35131142/monday-fantasy-hockey-tips-nhl-picks-matchups-more |

YULIN, China, June 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Dragon boats raced across the river under the summer sun, as spectators on the shores screamed while drums on the boats roared. That was a part of the excitement of the "Shui Yun Jing Du" Dragon Boat Invitational that took place on the afternoon of June 20th in Yulin of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. On the same day, the opening ceremony of the "Dragon of Duanwu, Tides of Yulin" 2023 Yulin City Duanwu Cultural Carnival and Mid-year Joyful Life and Happy Shopping campaign were held inside the Yulin Garden Expo Park.
This year, the traditional Chinese celebration of the Duanwu Festival is to be celebrated on June 22nd.

Between the 20th and the 24th, the city of Yulin hosted around a dozen activities including the likes of "Shui Yun Jing Du" Dragon Boat Invitational, "Yulin Style, China Chic" Intangible Cultural Heritage Bazaar and commencement ceremony of the 2023 Guangxi Culture Tourism Consumption Night Market (Yulin - Main Market).

The sponsor organized more than 30 stands for intangible cultural heritage, trendy goods and foods, creating an immersive arcade emanating old-school charms and China chic, allowing visitors to revel in the funs of traditional culture while enjoying a good time.
During the "Shui Yun Jing Du" Dragon Boat Invitational, 12 dragon boat teams competed in a thrilling race. Featuring a 300-meters course, four racing lanes, 22-person vessels and more than 300 racers, this race attracted throngs of locals and visitors alike to gather on the banks of the river and experience from a point-blank distance the unique charisma and excitement of Duanwu Festival. Thumping drum beats amplified passionate cheers and shouts, and the atmosphere pulsated with energy.
Located in the southeast of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Yulin is a beautiful place and in recent years the city has simultaneously carried out numerous measures to promote the high-quality development of its culture and tourism industries. Positioning itself as a "strong city of culture and tourism", Yulin has been included in the second batch of national culture and tourism consumption pilot cities and the list of the top hundred cities for health tourism in China.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — As the war in Ukraine stretches into its seventh month, North Korea is hinting at its interest in sending construction workers to help rebuild Russian-occupied territories in the country’s east.
The idea is openly endorsed by senior Russian officials and diplomats, who foresee a cheap and hard-working workforce that could be thrown into the “most arduous conditions,” a term Russia’s ambassador to North Korea used in a recent interview.
North Korea’s ambassador to Moscow recently met with envoys from two Russia-backed separatist territories in the Donbas region of Ukraine and expressed optimism about cooperation in the “field of labor migration,” citing his country’s easing pandemic border controls.
The talks came after North Korea in July became the only nation aside from Russia and Syria to recognize the independence of the territories, Donetsk and Luhansk, further aligning with Russia over the conflict in Ukraine.
The employment of North Korean workers in Donbas would clearly run afoul of U.N. Security Council sanctions imposed on the North over its nuclear and missile programs and further complicate the U.S.-led international push for its nuclear disarmament.
Many experts doubt North Korea will send workers while the war remains in flux, with a steady flow of Western weapons helping Ukraine to push back against much larger Russian forces.
But they say it’s highly likely North Korea will supply labor to Donbas when the fighting eases to boost its own economy, broken by years of U.S.-led sanctions, pandemic border closures and decades of mismanagement.
The labor exports would also contribute to a longer-term North Korean strategy of strengthening cooperation with Russia and China, another ideological ally, in an emerging partnership aimed at reducing U.S. influence in Asia.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin has said that North Korean construction companies have already offered to help rebuild war-torn areas in Donbas, and that North Korean workers would be welcomed if they come.
That’s a clear break from Russia’s position in December 2017, when it backed new U.N. Security Council sanctions, imposed on North Korea for testing an intercontinental ballistic missile, requiring member states to expel all North Korean workers from their territories within 24 months.
Russia now seems eager to undercut those sanctions as it faces a U.S.-led pressure campaign aimed at isolating its economy over its aggression in Ukraine, said Lim Soo-ho, a senior analyst at the Institute for National Security Strategy, a think tank run by South Korea’s spy agency.
“For Russia, the idea of employing North Korean workers for postwar rebuilding has real merit,” Lim said. “Large numbers of North Korean construction workers came to Russia in previous years, and demand for their labor was strong because they were cheap and known for quality work.”
Before the 2017 sanctions, labor exports were a rare legitimate source of foreign currency for North Korea, bringing hundreds of millions of dollars a year to the government.
The U.S. State Department earlier estimated that about 100,000 North Koreans were working overseas in government-arranged jobs, primarily in Russia and China, but also in Africa, the Middle East, Europe and South Asia.
Civilian experts say the workers earned $200 million to $500 million a year for North Korea’s government while pocketing only a fraction of their salaries, often toiling for more than 12 hours a day under constant surveillance by their country’s security agents.
While Russia sent home some North Korean workers before the U.N. deadline in December 2019, an uncertain number remained, continuing to work or becoming stuck after the North sealed its borders to fend off COVID-19.
North Korea could easily mobilize possibly several hundreds or even thousands of workers to Donbas if it decides to use the laborers who remained in Russia, said Kang Dong Wan, a North Korea expert at South Korea’s Dong-A University.
It’s not yet clear how lucrative Donbas would be for North Korea.
Russia is short of cash, battered by Western sanctions targeting its financial institutions and a broad swath of industries. North Korea likely has no interest in being paid in rubles because of worries about the currency’s purchasing power, which bottomed out during the war’s early days before Moscow took steps to artificially restore its value.
North Korea might be willing to be compensated with food, fuel and machinery, an exchange that would likely also violate Security Council sanctions, Lim said.
Hong Min, a senior analyst at South Korea’s Institute for National Unification, said North Korea could have bigger things in mind than short-term gains from labor exports.
“The United States’ strategic competition with China and confrontation with Russia have given North Korea breathing room as it steps up to join Moscow and Beijing in a united front to counter U.S. influence and promote a multipolar international system,” Hong said.
North Korea has already used the war in Ukraine to ramp up its weapons development, exploiting divisions in the Security Council, where Russia and China vetoed U.S.-sponsored resolutions to tighten sanctions on North Korea over its revived ICBM tests this year.
North Korea and Russia also see eye-to-eye on key policies.
North Korea has repeatedly blamed the United States for the Ukraine crisis, saying the West’s “hegemonic policy” justifies military actions by Russia in Ukraine to protect itself.
Russia, meanwhile, has repeatedly condemned the revival of large-scale military exercises between the U.S. and South Korea this year, accusing the allies of provoking North Korea and aggravating tensions.
Alexander Matsegora, Russia’s ambassador to North Korea, has backed its dubious assertion that its COVID-19 outbreak was caused by South Korean activists who flew anti-North Korean leaflets and other materials across the border with balloons.
Nam Sung-wook, a professor at the unification and diplomacy department of South Korea’s Korea University, is one of the few experts who sees the labor exports beginning soon.
Desperate to address its economic woes, North Korea might send small groups of workers to Donbas on “scouting missions” over the next few months and gradually increase the numbers depending on how the war goes, he said.
“Interests are aligning between Pyongyang and Moscow,” Nam said. “One hundred or 200 workers could eventually become 10,000.” | 2022-09-01T05:18:37+00:00 | seattletimes.com | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/n-korea-may-send-workers-to-russian-occupied-east-ukraine/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world |

Lujan Grisham's challengers for governor examine border through law enforcement lens
New Mexico Republican primary voters who have not voted early or absentee can vote on June 7 to select the candidate they hope will make Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham a one-term governor.
That candidate will also compete with Karen Bedonie of the Libertarian Party, which has major party status in the state.
Although a recent Albuquerque Journal poll shows GOP candidate Mark Ronchetti with a daunting lead over his four rivals for the nomination based on a sample of 560 likely voters, a small percentage of the poll's sample had already completed their ballots.
The one televised debate among the five Republican candidates was broadcast May 20 on KOAT-TV. The debate took place via Zoom, co-anchor Doug Fernandez announced, because visitors to KOAT's studio must be vaccinated against COVID-19, implying that at least one of the candidates was either unvaccinated or did not verify their status.
While the primary is hotly contested among the five candidates presenting themselves for the role of New Mexico's next governor, they share a consensus that the southern border is an urgent priority, although they tend to approach it primarily as a security issue.
For example, Rebecca Dow, a state Representative from Truth or Consequences, opened the KOAT debate by declaring Lujan Grisham "has opened our border to the criminal elements of the cartel. They're trafficking humans, smuggling drugs and they're responsible for the abuse of countless women and children. And that's why Republicans are picking the next governor on June 7."
New Mexico's border with Chihuahua, Mexico, presents a dynamic mix of security, humanitarian and economic development concerns.
For instance, the Lujan Grisham administration has recently highlighted work with counterparts in Mexico to improve adjacent ports of entry at Santa Teresa, New Mexico, and San Jerónimo, Chihuahua, and facilitate international trade through a joint infrastructure task force.
At the same time, federal agencies are contending with record-high volumes of migration from Central and South America. In the Border Patrol's El Paso sector alone, which includes all of New Mexico, 143,124 encounters have been reported so far this fiscal year, a 56.2 percent increase from this point last year, per data from Customs and Border Protection. Reported encounters across the southwest are up 67.7 percent over the same period, with more than 1.2 million encounters so far this fiscal year.
When asked an open question about how they would approach the border at the debate, the GOP candidates' responses examined the region exclusively through the lens of crime and law enforcement, linking it to messages about domestic crime within New Mexico and support for police.
Some, like Ronchetti, framed it as a humanitarian crisis as well, citing hopeful immigrants exploited by human smugglers. They were largely silent on international causes of migration or federal policy except in support of a Trump-era policy requiring migrants, including lawful applicants for political asylum, to wait outside the United States for their hearings.
For voters assessing the alternatives to Lujan Grisham's leadership on border issues, particularly in the logistically crucial region of Doña Ana County and El Paso ports of entry, here is a brief introduction to how the candidates are addressing the border as the primary closes.
The Republican candidates are listed in alphabetical order, followed by Bedonie, a former Republican who switched to Libertarian.
Jay Block
A Sandoval County Commissioner and U.S. Air Force veteran who served in Afghanistan, Block has decried the Biden Administration's halt to construction of the border wall and promised to redeploy National Guard personnel to the border, recalling President Donald Trump's 2018 mobilization of the Guard with the consent of then-Gov. Susana Martinez, a fellow Republican.
Additionally, he has proposed creating a new law enforcement agency focused on the border, although few details about its function or interactions with other agencies have been presented.
Block cited a "humanitarian crisis" at the border in the televised debate, focused on sex trafficking as well as narcotic and human smuggling.
"The southern border affects every state in the country," he said. "Every state is a border state because what comes through New Mexico goes throughout the country."
Rebecca Dow
Dow has served in the New Mexico House of Representatives since 2017 and is relinquishing her seat to challenge Lujan Grisham.
A campaign advertisement this spring featured Dow on horseback, strolling alongside steel bollard border fencing with sheriffs who had endorsed her campaign.
They included Sheriff Glenn Hamilton of her home county, Sierra; Sheriff Warren Walter of Hidalgo County, encompassing New Mexico's bootheel region and one of the busiest enforcement areas for the U.S. Border Patrol's El Paso Sector; and a Democrat, Luna County Sheriff Kelly Gannaway.
Dow has strongly backed Trump's approach to the border, including a vow to advocate for finishing the border wall as well as Border Patrol requests for technology and infrastructure to facilitate its activities along the border as well as a renewed National Guard deployment.
She has also repeatedly complained of an "open borders" policy supported by Democrats Lujan Grisham and President Joe Biden, despite federal policies limiting immigration and admittance of refugees, deportations and the controversial Title 42 policy requiring many asylum applicants to wait in Mexico while their cases are in process.
While Dow was a distant second to Ronchetti in the Journal poll (9 percent to his 45 percent), she appeared to be the leading alternative within the GOP field.
Ethel Maharg
The former mayor of Cuba, New Mexico, praised efforts in neighboring states Arizona and Texas to complete the border wall independently of the federal government at the May 20 debate.
While Maharg, the executive director of the Right to Life Committee of New Mexico, has placed opposition to abortion at the center of her campaign, she cited her own Hispanic immigrant ancestors in calling for firm enforcement of immigration laws and protocols and expressed alarm over costs of mitigating harm from fentanyl and narcotic drugs.
"My grandfather came here legally," she said in the debate, "and I say, if you sneak across the border, sorry, but … we're going to put you back, no discussion, period."
Maharg is the contest's underdog, having polled last at the state GOP's pre-primary convention and lagged in name recognition and fundraising. The Journal poll found her with a single percentage point among the voters sampled.
Mark Ronchetti
The former KRQE-TV meteorologist, meanwhile, had the support of 45 percent of the respondents to the Journal poll, enjoying broad name recognition from his weather reporting as well as his 2020 run for an open U.S. Senate seat.
Ronchetti returned to his television job after losing the election to Democrat Ben Ray Luján, only to resign to pursue the governor's office.
Ronchetti, like his rivals, hammered Lujan Grisham and Biden for a "porous" border policy he said fails to address the needs of federal border law enforcement agencies, including adequate staffing.
He also connected international narcotics trade to domestic crime across New Mexico to argue that more rigid border policies were essential to domestic peace.
His campaign website as well as campaign ads include promises to redeploy the National Guard to the area and introduce a "Border Strike Force" of as many as 150 officers under the state's Department of Public Safety, purportedly to aim at narcotic activity in the region.
Greg Zanetti
Zanetti, a retired Army National Guard brigadier general from Albuquerque and one of two military veterans in the primary (the other being Block), gently scoffed at promises of a Guard redeployment to the border.
"What's the chain of command? How are you going to integrate with Border Patrol, ICE, all the alphabet agencies down there? What are the communication lines? How are you going to integrate with Texas and Arizona?"
Zanetti also questioned how the mission would be funded, presuming the Biden Administration would not pay for it and leave New Mexico on the hook.
Nonetheless, he, too, spoke about the border exclusively in terms of national security and law enforcement.
Zanetti placed third in the Journal poll, close behind Dow.
Libertarian Karen Bedonie
Bedonie, a Navajo Nation member who lives in McKinley County, initially announced her gubernatorial run as a Republican, only to seek the Libertarian nomination instead.
Her only rival is write-in candidate Ginger Grider, who has said Bedonie is "not a Libertarian at all."
The former Republican's views on several prominent issues match those of the Republicans. That includes an endorsement of finishing the border wall and strengthened law enforcement in the region.
"As a Native American," Bedonie states on her campaign's website, "I believe in a very respectful border that will create a safe and well organized process for all involved."

PERTH, Australia (AP) — Authorities in Western Australia on Wednesday recovered a tiny but dangerous radioactive capsule that fell off a truck while being transported along a 1,400-kilometer (870-mile) Outback highway last month in what an official said was like finding the needle in the haystack.
Officials said the capsule the size of a pea was found south of the mining town of Newman on the Great Northern Highway. It was detected by a search vehicle travelling at 70 kilometers (43 miles) per hour when specialist equipment picked up radiation emitting from the capsule.
Portable search equipment was then used to locate it 2 meters (6.5 feet) from the side of the road.
“This is an extraordinary result … they have quite literally found the needle in the haystack,” said Emergency Services Minister Stephen Dawson.
Chief Health Officer Andy Robertson said the capsule did not appear to have moved and no injuries had been reported.
It contains the caesium 137 ceramic source, commonly used in radiation gauges, which emits dangerous amounts of radiation, equivalent of receiving 10 X-rays in an hour. It could cause skin burns and prolonged exposure could cause cancer.
Search crews had spent six days scouring the entire length of the highway.
The capsule measures 8 millimeters by 6 millimeters (0.31 inches by 0.24 inches), and people have been warned it could have unknowingly become lodged in their car’s tires.
A government investigation has been launched into how the capsule fell off the truck and a report will be provided to the health minister.
Defense officials were verifying the identification of the capsule, which has been placed into a lead container for safety. It will be stored in a secure location in Newman before being transported to a health facility in the city of Perth.
The capsule got lost while being transported between a desert mine site and Perth on Jan. 10. The truck transporting the capsule arrived at a Perth depot on Jan. 16. Emergency services were notified of the missing capsule on Jan. 25.
The chief executive of the mining giant Rio Tinto Iron Ore, Simon Trott, has apologized for the incident and expressed gratitude for the find.
“A pretty incredible recovery when you think of the distances involved, and also the remoteness of the terrain, and I think that really speaks to the tenacity of all those who were involved in the search,” Trott said.
“The simple fact is this device should never have been lost. We’re sorry that that has occurred and we’re sorry for the concern that that has caused within the Western Australian community,” Trott added.
Robertson said the investigation of the mishap could lead to a prosecution.
“We have the ability to prosecute under the Radiation Safety Act and we will certainly look at such prosecutions, and we’ve done that in the past,” Robertson said.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said a 1,000 Australian dollar ($708) fine was an inadequate maximum penalty for mishandling radioactive material.
“It shouldn’t have been lost, that’s the first thing. And second, yeah of course that figure is ridiculously low,” Albanese said.
Dawson said the state government was reviewing the penalties under the Radiation Safety Act. | 2023-02-01T19:02:29+00:00 | cenlanow.com | https://www.cenlanow.com/ap-strange-news/ap-radioactive-capsule-that-fell-off-truck-found-in-australia/ |

Officials in New York seize 15,000 rainbow fentanyl pills found in a Lego box
A popular child's product was used to hide thousands of so-called rainbow fentanyl pills.
New York City officials seized approximately 15,000 rainbow fentanyl pills, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration.
The pills, imprinted with the letter "M" and "30" were discovered in a Lego box.
Latesha Bush, of Trenton, New Jersey, was arrested, according to the DEA.
Officials said on Sept. 28, members of the NYDETF Group T-12 "were conducting surveillance as part of an ongoing investigation into narcotics trafficking when they allegedly observed Bush carrying what appeared to be a black tote bag wrapped around a large object as she entered a vehicle" in Manhattan.
Agents and officers stopped the car. Bush was in the back seat, according to the DEA, with yellow Lego container and two black totes.
"Inside the Lego container were several brick-shaped packages covered in black tape lying next to Lego blocks," the DEA said in a press release. "The black tape covering one of the packages had been partially opened, exposing multi-colored pills inside."
Bush, 48, is charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance in the first and third degrees, according to the DEA, which cited a criminal complaint filed by the Officer of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor.
“I want to thank our members and law enforcement partners for their unwavering work in stopping the flow of illegal drugs throughout our state," New York State Police Superintendent Kevin P. Bruen said. "The arrest of Latesha Bush and the seizure of these lethal drugs are the direct result of a commitment to aggressively target and pursue criminals who perpetuate the distribution of these narcotics." | 2022-10-05T17:15:52+00:00 | 4029tv.com | https://www.4029tv.com/article/rainbow-fentanyl-pills-found-in-lego-box/41529205 |

The Coca-Cola Co. posted strong sales in the second quarter due to price increases and rising demand from restaurants and other venues.
The company also raised its revenue expectations Tuesday, saying that it now expects organic revenue growth of between 12% and 13%. That’s up from earlier projections of a 7% to 8% increase.
Revenue grew 12% in the April-June period to $11.3 billion, the Atlanta company said. That was well ahead of the $10.56 billion Wall Street forecast, according to analysts polled by FactSet.
Higher operating costs and increased spending on marketing impacted its profits. Excluding one-time items, Coke earned 70 cents per share in the quarter. That was also higher than the 67-cent profit analysts forecast.
Shares rose slightly before the opening bell.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Stampede) — The Sioux Falls Stampede Hockey Club was able to earn a single point in USHL Western Conference standings during its 4-3 overtime loss to the Sioux City Musketeers. Kazimier Sobieski led the Herd with two of the team’s three goals and Ryan Gordon earned the game-tying goal late in the second period.
Sioux City started the game’s scoring with two goals in the first ten minutes of regulation. Kazimier Sobieski got the Herd on the board with a goal at the 17:29 mark, assisted by Chris Pelosi and Maddox Fleming. Between the pipes for the Herd, Caleb Heil stopped 14 shots of the 16 he faced.
The Stampede came back stronger in the second period. Sioux City earned their final regulation-play goal 1:35 into the period, which left the remaining 18:25 for the Stampede to catch up. Sobieski rose to this challenge and marked his second goal of the night, fourth this season, unassisted, 11:47 into the period. Ryan Gordon then slid his own goal in with two minutes left in the period, after being pushed down into the Musketeers’ crease and fighting to get the puck past Croix Kochendorfer.
A scoreless third period, along with zero penalties, pushed the game into a three-on-three, five-minute overtime. Ben Doran of the Musketeers earned Sioux City its win just 41 seconds in.
With its win, Sioux City clenched a Clark Cup Playoff berth, leaving just one spot remaining for the Herd or Des Moines Buccaneers. The Buccaneers’ overtime win against the Tri-City Storm ties them with the Stampede in Western Conference standings with one more game to play than the Stampede this weekend and the potential to topple the Herd’s playoff push.
The action will be back at the Denny Sanford Premier Center tomorrow night as the Herd celebrates Star Wars Night! With a specialty jersey auction, a costume contest, and a full slate of Star Wars fun planned, fans won’t want to miss it. Tickets are available via the Stampede office or by stopping into the KELOLAND box office. | 2023-04-15T06:13:11+00:00 | keloland.com | https://www.keloland.com/sports/herd-gets-tripped-up-in-overtime-falls-4-3/ |

Foo Fighters to carry on, but as a 'different band' after Taylor Hawkins' death
The Foo Fighters will continue as a band following the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins last year, although it will be a "different" group, they have said.
In a statement posted on Instagram at the weekend, the rock band called 2022 "the most difficult and tragic year" that they had known.
They said they were thankful for "the people that we love and cherish most, and for the loved ones who are no longer with us."
"(We) were formed 27 years ago to represent the healing power of music and a continuation of life," the band wrote, adding that fans had built "a worldwide community, a devoted support system that has helped us all get through the darkest of times together."
Hawkins died last March, aged 50, in Colombia while on tour. At the time, the Foo Fighters tweeted "his musical spirit and infectious laughter will live on with all of us forever."
In this latest post, they paid tribute to their former drummer, saying: "Without Taylor, we never would have become the band that we were — and without Taylor, we know that we're going to be a different band going forward."
"He'll be there in spirit with all of us every night," they added.
Hawkins played drums for Alanis Morissette before joining the Foo Fighters in 1997 — three years after frontman Dave Grohl founded the group.
In September — six months after his passing — the Foo Fighters played at London's Wembley Stadium as part of a star-studded celebratory event honoring Hawkins. Paul McCartney, Liam Gallagher and Brian May were among the biggest names in music to appear at the concert.
When it came to the band's performance, Hawkins' son Oliver Shane Hawkins, who was 16, joined them, picking up the drumsticks for a rendition of their song "My Hero."
The Foo Fighters held a second tribute in Los Angeles later that month. | 2023-01-02T20:42:41+00:00 | wesh.com | https://www.wesh.com/article/foo-fighters-different-band-after-taylor-hawkins-death/42379616 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — A British tobacco company has agreed to a $629 million settlement to resolve allegations that it did illegal business with North Korea in violation of U.S. sanctions, the Justice Department said Tuesday.
British American Tobacco has entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the Justice Department while the company’s Singapore subsidiary pleaded guilty to bank fraud and sanctions charges. BAT confirmed the settlement in its own statement, saying it resolves “previously disclosed investigations into suspicions of sanctions breaches.”
In addition, federal prosecutors disclosed a cigarette trafficking scheme that raised money for North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, announcing charges against three men — a North Korean banker and two Chinese facilitators. The State Department has announced a reward for information leading to their arrest.
British American Tobacco produces Lucky Strike, Dunhill, and Pall Mall brands. It agreed in 2017 to take over Reynolds American Inc., which owned brands like Newport and Camel, creating the world's largest publicly traded tobacco company. | 2023-04-25T18:48:51+00:00 | lmtonline.com | https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/tobacco-company-settles-with-us-over-business-in-17917780.php |
VANCOUVER, BC, May 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Sitka Gold Corp. ("Sitka" or the "Company") (CSE: SIG) (FSE: 1RF) (OTCQB: SITKF) is pleased to announce assay results from diamond drill hole DDRCCC-22-024 ("Hole 24"), the third drill hole completed during the Company's 2022 winter exploration program at its road accessible, district-scale RC Gold Project ("RC Gold" or the "Project") located within the Yukon's prolific Tombstone Gold Belt (see Figure 1). Four diamond drill holes were completed during the 2022 winter drilling program (DDRCCC-22-022 to DDRCCC-22-025) for a total of 1,242.8 metres. Drilling is expected to resume at the RC Gold Project in the next couple of weeks utilizing two drill rigs that will be focused on the newly discovered Blackjack Zone.
Gold assay highlights from DDRCCC-22-024 include:
- 107.5 m of 1.44 g/t Au from 4.5 m to 112.0 m in hole DDRCCC-22-024 including:
"Results from our winter drill program continue to deliver with the exceptional assays from Hole 24 adding to the mounting evidence that our newly discovered Blackjack zone could host a multi-million ounce, economically viable gold deposit," stated Cor Coe, P.Geo., CEO and Director of Sitka. "With over 100 metres of nearly 1.5 grams per tonne of gold drilled from surface, including 2 metres of over 1 ounce per tonne of gold, Hole 24 has confirmed that the gold-rich mineralization in this zone extends at least 100 metres west of our initial discovery hole (Hole 21) and remains open. Additionally, we have now confirmed that gold mineralization also extends 100 metres south (where Hole 22 was collared) and that it is continuous along vertical section (depth) from Hole 23 to Hole 22 (see news releases dated April 26 and May 17, 2022). This gold-rich zone remains open in all directions and we are eagerly awaiting the results from Hole 25 (DDRCCC-22-025) which was drilled approximately 80 metres to the east of Hole 21. Our plan is to continue step out drilling as we work towards further expanding this gold mineralization east and west along the interpreted strike while building tonnage for a maiden resource estimate."
Hole 24 was collared from the same setups as Hole 21 & 23, but was drilled to the west on an azimuth of 277 degrees, with a dip of -48 to a depth of 204 metres. The hole collared and remained in multiphase intrusive rock associated with the most consistent mineralization encountered to date at the BlackJack zone, to a depth of 52.4 metres where it crossed the BlackJack Fault. Below the fault, a mixed sequence of well mineralized metasedimentary country rocks and multiphase intrusive sills was encountered to a depth of 114.6 metres before transitioning into weakly mineralized metasedimentary country rock. Visible gold was also observed throughout the drill hole (Figure 5).
The 2022 winter drilling program was focused in the area of the Blackjack Zone which was first intersected by DDRCCC-21-021 (Hole 21). The Blackjack Zone occurs within the Saddle West Zone where the Blackjack Fault obliquely intersects an east-west trending extensional corridor that is defined by abundant lamprophyre dykes and a large gold-in-soil anomaly of >100 ppb and >500 ppb that covers an area of 2 kilometres by 500 metres between the Saddle West, Blackjack, Saddle and Eiger Zones (Figure 2). This extensional corridor controls the emplacement of the Saddle and Eiger intrusive stocks. The large gold-in-soil anomaly is still open in all directions and drilling to date within this corridor has demonstrated the potential for a continuous zone of gold mineralization. In addition to the classic intrusion hosted gold mineralization consisting of sheeted veins within intrusive host rocks intersected in Hole 21, similar to Victoria Gold's Eagle Gold Mine(2) and Kinross's Fort Knox Gold Mine(1), Hole 24 demonstrates significant gold mineralization in the surrounding metasedimentary rocks, including 2 metres of 35.6 g/t Au that was encountered, similar to Banyan Gold's 3.99 M oz Au AurMac Project(5). The winter drilling program continues to advance our understanding of the project and the company awaits the results of the last winter drill hole currently being processed at the lab with great anticipation as we prepare to complete a planned 10,000 metre drill program this summer.
The RC Gold Project consists of a 376 square kilometre contiguous district-scale land package located in the newly road accessible Clear Creek, Big Creek, and Sprague Creek districts in the heart of Yukon's Tintina Gold Belt and of the Tombstone Gold Belt. It is the largest consolidated land package strategically positioned mid-way between Victoria Gold's Eagle Gold Mine - Yukon's newest gold mine which reached commercial production in the summer of 2020 - and Sabre Gold Mine's Brewery Creek Gold Mine. The RC Gold Project land package comprises five underlying properties, namely, the RC, Bee Bop, Mahtin, Clear Creek, and Barney Ridge properties*. The Company recently identified a large 500 m by 2000 m intrusion related gold system on the Property at the Saddle Eiger zone and to date has drilled 23 diamond drill holes into this system. This has been the main focus of the Company's drill programs at RC Gold in 2020 and 2021 which have returned several significant gold intercepts, including the last drill hole from the 2021 drill program, DDRCCC-21-021 ("Hole 21") that intersected 220.1 metres of 1.17 g/t gold from surface that included 50.5 metres of 2.08 g/t gold. Hole 21, located in the Saddle West Zone, was drilled under a greater than 500 ppb gold-in-soil anomaly that was previously identified on surface and is part of the larger 2 kilometre by 500 metre gold-in-soil anomaly that stretches from the Saddle West Zone to the Eiger Zone and is open in all directions. This drill hole was collared 200 metres south of any previous drilling conducted and intersected a newly recognized controlling structure to mineralization known as the Blackjack Fault (see news release dated December 13, 2021).
Sitka Gold inherited a wealth of historical and current data from these properties from work spanning the last 40 years. Recent exploration work and the compilation of historical data have defined several mineralized zones with both bulk tonnage, intrusion-related gold deposit targets and high-grade, vein- and breccia-hosted gold targets. The RC Gold Project also has a common border with Victoria Gold's Clear Creek property at its western boundary and Florin Resources' Florin Gold property at its northern boundary.
*For more detailed information on the underlying properties please visit our website at www.sitkagoldcorp.com.
Exploration on the Property has mainly focused on identifying an intrusion-related gold system ("IRGS"). The property is part of the Tombstone Gold Belt which is the prominent host to IRGS deposits within the Tintina Gold Province in Yukon and Alaska. Notable deposits from the belt include: Fort Knox Mine in Alaska with current Proven and Probable Reserves of 230 million tonnes at 0.3 g/t Au (2.471 million ounces; Sims 2018)(1); Eagle Gold Mine with current Proven and Probable Reserves of 155 million tonnes at a diluted grade of 0.65 g/t Au at the Eagle and Olive deposits (3.261 million ounces; Goodwin et al. 2019)(2); the Brewery Creek deposit with current Indicated Mineral Resource of 22.2 million tonnes at a gold grade of 1.11 g/t (0.789 million ounces; Hulse et al. 2020)(3); the Florin Gold deposit, located adjacent to Sitka's RC Gold project, with a current Inferred Mineral Resource of 170.99 million tonnes grading 0.45 g/t (2.47 million ounces; Simpson 2021)(4) and the AurMac Project with an Inferred Mineral Resource of 207.0 million tonnes grading 0.60 gram per tonne gold (3.99 millon ounces; Jutras 2022)(5).

A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) U.S. Bank National Association (U.S. Bancorp's banking subsidiary) created sales pressure on its employees that led them to open credit cards, lines of credit, and deposit accounts without consumers' knowledge and consent; (2) since at least 2015, U.S. Bank National Association and by extension, U.S. Bancorp, was aware of such unauthorized conduct that it was violating relevant regulations and laws aimed at protecting its consumers; (3) U.S. Bancorp failed to properly monitor its employees from engaging in such unlawful conduct, detect and stop the misconduct, and identify and remediate harmed consumers; (4) all the foregoing subjected the Company to a foreseeable risk of heightened regulatory scrutiny or investigation; (5) U.S. Bancorp's revenues were in part the product of unlawful conduct and thus unsustainable; and (6) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the U.S. Bancorp class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9420 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

MYKOLAIV, Ukraine — On the second day of the war with Russia, Anatoliy Nikitin and Stas Volovyk, two Ukrainian army reservists, were ordered to deliver NLAW anti-tank missiles to fellow soldiers in the suburbs north of Kyiv. Then, as they stood exposed on a highway, Nikitin, who goes by the battle nickname Concrete, says they received new orders.
"A guy on the radio said, 'There are two Russian tanks coming at you. Try to hit one and livestream it!,'' recalls Nikitin, sitting on a park bench in the southern city of Mykolaiv, as artillery rumbles in the distance.
There was one problem: neither soldier had ever fired an NLAW. So, as the tanks approached, they hid amongst some trees and looked up a YouTube video on how to do so. They took their positions, prepared the missiles.
"Then the commander says, 'Oh, it's ours! It's ours!'" recalls Volovyk, who goes by the nickname Raptor. "So, we did not fire. It was a really close call."
Fighting the war requires new skills now
As the war has changed over the months, Ukrainian fighters like Volovyk and Nikitin have had to adapt and learn new skills.
In the first month, soldiers used shoulder-launched missiles and hit-and-run tactics to defend Kyiv. These days, they are using drones and artillery as part of a high-tech trench war in the farm fields of the country's' south.
Nikitin and Volovyk have fought in both environments and describe their on-the-job training as a mix of terror, adventure and black comedy. The two men offer an unvarnished view of the fighting and say the first days of the war were filled with confusion.
"It was total chaos," recalls Nikitin, who is 40, wears a salt-and-pepper beard and heads a construction company. "It's lucky for us that the Russians were more chaotic than us."
Volovyk is a 33-year-old software engineer who learned English by playing video games. He says Russian tactics and decision-making have improved during the war, but he found some of their early actions perplexing. For instance, the Russians deployed riot police who headed toward Kyiv, only to be wiped out.
"We see how they advance, we see how they fight and we were like, 'Okay, is this their best or are they just mocking us?'" recalls Volovyk, who wears a camouflage cap with the message "Don't Worry, Be Ready."
"Then we realized that they're just dumb. There are a lot of them, but they're dumb."
From digging trenches to operating drones
The Russians began to retreat from the Kyiv suburbs in late March. After this, the two men followed orders and headed south to fight a very different kind of war. They left behind the protection of suburban buildings and forests outside the capital for sweeping farm fields with little cover. They started at the bottom: working the trenches.
"It sucks," says Volovyk. "You dig. You dig. That's the only thing you can do, because this is an artillery war and unless you dig, you're pretty much dead."
In trench warfare, infantry rarely see the enemy or have a chance to shoot at them. Volovyk says the bombardment can take a psychological toll.
"You're constantly shelled and you just don't know if you're going to survive," he says. "So you just trust that this isn't your day, just not yet."
After two weeks, the men were offered new jobs doing reconnaissance. It's dangerous work that involves getting close to enemy lines and trying to evade detection. But the men leapt at the opportunity — anything to get out of the trenches.
They now operate drones and serve as the eyes of the artillery, helping to guide fire on everything from Russian tanks to ammunition depots in the Kherson region.
Drone operators are targets themselves. Once the Russians spot a drone, they try to calculate the general area where the operators might be hiding and methodically hit it with artillery fire.
Nikitin and Volovyk say they prefer military-grade surveillance drones to commercial ones. The military drones have secure data transfer and are much harder for the Russians to jam.
Their recon team, known as the "Fireflies," has its own Instagram account and YouTube channel. Their videos show them launching a drone from a parched field and setting up in an abandoned farmhouse. Then they help guide a shell that just misses a Russian armored personnel carrier, enveloping it in a cloud of smoke. It's a reminder that, even with all the advanced technology, it's still hard to hit a moving target.
The soldiers have had some heart-stopping moments. Nikitin recalls traveling with a team of engineers when they came across a Russian soldier in a field.
"He looks at me, I look at him and he just jumps into the bushes," recalls Nikitin. He then told the engineers to go shoot the Russian and any of his fellow soldiers.
They didn't like that idea.
"No! No! We are engineers," Nikitin recalls them saying.
Before the Russian could rally his fellow soldiers, Nikitin and the engineers took off.
Nikitin and Volovyk joined the army reserve six years ago, after the Russians invaded Crimea. Nikitin says they weren't prophets, but they knew Russia would try to take the rest of Ukraine. Here down south, their goal is to liberate Kherson, the regional capital.
After eight months of war, they are hoping for a little break and then a return to the fight.
As Nikitin says: "We are not going anywhere."

JERUSALEM (AP) — One of Israel’s most extremist politicians, known for his inflammatory anti-Arab speeches and stunts, is attracting new supporters from a previously untapped demographic — young ultra-Orthodox Jews, one of the fastest-growing segments of the country’s population.
Itamar Ben-Gvir’s sharp rise in popularity in the last three years has transformed him from a fringe provocateur to a central player in Tuesday’s parliament election. Polls indicate his Religious Zionism party could emerge as the third-largest and help return former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to power.
His appeal is a reflection of the ongoing right-ward shift of the Israeli electorate over the years, with Ben-Gvir and his party also attracting voters who previously supported other right-wing parties.
This shift is particularly noticeable among Israel’s 1.3 million ultra-Orthodox Jews who make up 13% of the population.
The community, known in Hebrew as Haredim, is growing at a breakneck rate, with an average birth rate more than twice the national average. Children make up half of their population, and young adults between 18-35 another quarter.
Ben-Gvir’s appeal among young Haredim reflects a shift in the political preferences of a community that cleaves to a strict adherence to religious tradition. For decades, the ultra-Orthodox largely voted for two Haredi political parties — United Torah Judaism and Shas.
Those parties promoted the community’s interests in exchange for supporting coalition governments with a range of ideological flavors — though the Haredim had a preference for center-right factions that tended to be more culturally conservative.
But several prominent rabbis who served as spiritual leaders for these parties have died in recent years. Analysts say younger and middle-aged Haredim are growing disillusioned with the old guard.
“The majority of relatively younger ultra-Orthodox — under the age of 50 — have turned right-wing, and sometimes staunchly right-wing, something that in the past didn’t exist,” said Moshe Hellinger, a political scientist at Israel’s Bar Ilan University.
The Haredi political leadership lacks a strong, charismatic leader “and this vacuum allows (voters) to go in different directions,” Hellinger said.
Into that void steps Ben-Gvir.
Voting records from predominantly Haredi communities indicate that since Ben-Gvir entered politics in 2019, support for him in those areas has increased over Israel’s four successive elections — though he still lagged behind the established ultra-Orthodox parties.
Ben Gvir’s campaign declined requests by The Associated Press to interview him or officials managing outreach to the ultra-Orthodox community.
Several factors appear to be driving his growing popularity in the community.
Some Haredim prefer the Religious Zionism party’s mix of Orthodox Jewish and ultra- nationalist messaging to that of Netanyahu’s Likud party which, while hard-line, remains predominantly secular.
Recent years have also seen an uptick in attacks by Palestinian assailants targeting ultra-Orthodox Jews, as part of the wider Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
In March, shortly after a Palestinian gunman opened fire on the streets of Bnei Brak, an ultra-Orthodox suburb of Tel Aviv, killing five Israelis, Ben Gvir arrived on the scene and delivered statements to TV cameras surrounded by a throng of young Haredi men shouting racist screeds.
The scene repeated itself in May, after a Palestinian killed three Israelis in the central town of Elad.
At a recent campaign rally in Elad, Ben-Gvir whipped up a gender-segregated crowd, calling for the death penalty for convicted Palestinian militants. The audience, many of them young men in white button-down shirts and black skullcaps, responded with cheers and whistles, then chants of, “Death to Arabs” and “Death to terrorists.”
David Cohen, a resident of Beit Shemesh, a heavily ultra-Orthodox city west of Jerusalem, said he would vote for Ben-Gvir, comparing him to former U.S. President Donald Trump and describing him as a straight-talking man of action.
“He seems to be the only one that will really accomplish anything,” Cohen said of Ben-Gvir. “He’s a guy that says what he means and means what he says.”
Ben-Gvir first entered parliament in 2021, after his Jewish Power party merged with the Religious Zionism party. Jewish Power, which failed to cross the electoral threshold in the 2019 and 2020 elections, is the successor to the outlawed Kach party of the late ultra-nationalist politician Meir Kahane.
Ahead of Tuesday’s vote, the Religious Zionism party has surged in the polls. It’s forecast to win twice as many seats as in the previous election and could make the difference between Netanyahu returning to power or remaining in the opposition.
It will be the fifth election in under four years, largely fought over whether Netanyahu is fit to rule while facing corruption charges.
Ben-Gvir, who was convicted of offenses that include inciting racism and supporting a terrorist organization, went on to make a legal career out of defending Jewish extremists charged with violent offenses.
He lives in the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba, next to Hebron, the West Bank’s largest Palestinian city. Until recently, he displayed a photo in his home of Baruch Goldstein, an American-Israeli who killed 29 Palestinians and wounded over 100 in a shooting attack as they knelt in prayer at Hebron’s Tomb of the Patriarchs in 1993.
On Saturday, a Palestinian gunman opened fire at Israelis in Kiryat Arba, killing a 50-year-old man and wounding several others.
While a hawkish booster of Israeli security forces — advocating immunity from prosecution for soldiers and the death sentence for Palestinians convicted of attacks on Jews — Ben-Gvir did not serve in the military; he was issued an exemption because of his extremist ideology.
In the run-up to the election, Ben Gvir told public broadcaster Kan that he advocated dismantling the Palestinian self-rule government and annexing the West Bank, while simultaneously denying its roughly 2.5 million Palestinian residents the right to vote for Israel’s Knesset.
“There’s no such thing as Palestine, this is ours, this is our land,” he said.
Political scientist Shira Efron, who heads the Israel Policy Forum think tank, said she believes the rise of Ben-Gvir is a result of what she described as systematic incitement, mostly by Netanyahu and his Likud party, against Israel’s large Arab minority.
Ben-Gvir is “shrewd, charismatic and expresses what many Jewish Israelis sadly think but until now didn’t feel comfortable saying out loud,” she said.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bryce Harper stepped off the team bus after it pulled up outside Citizens Bank Park and posed with fans for selfies — including a little kid who dressed like the Phillies slugger — and waved goodbye to the small party of fans.
With that, Harper walked away and into the offseason, one that could include surgery.
Harper’s need to address a balky right elbow that turned the right fielder into a designated hitter this season is one of the top priorities for the National League champions.
Trying to figure out if the Phillies’ scintillating postseason run, which ultimately fizzled against Houston in the World Series, marked the start of a sustained championship window or was simply a one-off is the other.
In one sense, the Phillies ended the season pretty much where they expected to land when spring training opened with championship aspirations.
Philadelphia spent $179 million on Kyle Schwarber and Nick Castellanos as big-bat, free-agent additions to a lineup that needed power to compete with Atlanta and the New York Mets in the NL East.
A veteran manager had been hired with the lone goal of winning a World Series. The Phillies had the reigning NL MVP in Harper and the Cy Young Award runner-up in Zack Wheeler. Owner John Middleton spent more than $230 million on a payroll of players he thought was strong enough to win the World Series. This was a team expected on opening day to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2011.
But somewhere along the way, the team turned into plucky underdogs that shocked the baseball world. The Phillies were 23-29 and 5 1/2 games out of the final NL wild-card spot in early June when they fired manager Joe Girardi and decided to ride with Philly Rob. Former bench coach Rob Thomson made all the right moves along the way — until he didn’t, perhaps lifting Wheeler too soon in a Game 6 loss that ended the World Series — and earned an extension that gives the Phillies stability in the dugout. He’s now charged with winning that first World Series title since 2008.
And no upbeat anthem will dull the pain if they miss out next season.
A look at what’s ahead for the Phillies:
HARPER’S FUTURE
It might be hard to remember based on Harper’s postseason for the ages — which saw him hit six homers and earn NLCS MVP honors — but the 30-year-old slugger played this season with a small tear in the ulnar collateral ligament of his throwing elbow. He last played the field at Miami on April 16 and could need surgery to fix the tear. Should Harper need any kind of reconstruction on his elbow, odds are he won’t be ready for the start of next season. He did have a platelet-rich plasma injection in his elbow and perhaps more rest could solve the issue naturally.
FREE AGENCY
Starting pitcher Aaron Nola had his team-friendly $16 million option picked up Monday night. First baseman Rhys Hoskins — who often fields the position with the ease of kids playing a game of hot potato — could hit the trade market. He batted .120 in the World Series and struck out 10 times. Hoskins had his moments — his bat spike will live in Philly sports lore — but hit .159 overall in Red October.
The Phillies declined the $17 million option on aging second baseman Jean Segura, and right-hander Zach Eflin declined his side of a mutual option and is now a free agent. The Phillies have Kyle Gibson, Brad Hand, Corey Knebel, David Robertson and Noah Syndergaard among their free agents, most of whom have played their last game for the team.
Throw in some expiring contracts that also come off the books, such as the since-departed Odubel Herrera and Didi Gregorius, and roughly $75 million in payroll is shed this winter.
Which means? Spend some stupid money, as Middleton once promised to do.
Philadelphia is sure to be aggressive this winter and could spend that cash on free agents such as Trea Turner, Xander Bogaerts, Dansby Swanson and Carlos Correa. The Phillies were strikeout- and home run-heavy in the lineup and any one of those shortstops could bring contact to the batting order.
“This is going to be the same team next year with a couple of more pieces I’d imagine,” Harper said. “(Team President) Dave Dombrowski is our guy. John Middleton understands we want to win and he wants to win right now, too. I’d imagine that we’re going to be the same team but with some more pieces to make us that much better.”
HISTORY SAYS
The reality is, the Braves and Mets won 101 games apiece and the Dodgers won 111. The Phillies (87-75) can’t count on getting hot in October as the pitch for their fans at winning a World Series.
Cheap, homegrown help could be on the way. Andrew Painter, Mick Abel and Griff McGarry are among the top minor league pitching prospects in the game and could be counted on at some point next season to strengthen the rotation.
“This is sustainable, this type of winning atmosphere and winning team,” Thomson said. “This is a good taste to get these guys here in this moment, all these young players. We’ve got a good group of veteran guys, and our system is starting to get loaded up with good arms at the upper end of the minor league system. I think this run has the potential to be very sustainable.”

Consultants: Design issues, operations lapses led to big Kansas oil spill
By JOHN HANNA and JOSH FUNK
Associated Press
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A report for U.S. government regulators says pipeline design issues, lapses in its operations and problems caused during construction led to a massive oil spill on the Keystone pipeline system in northeastern Kansas. An engineering consulting firm said in the report that the bend in the Keystone system in Washington County, Kansas, where the December 2022 spill occurred had been “overstressed” since its installation in December 2010. The report raised questions about the oversight of the manufacturing of the pipeline bend and operator TC Energy’s assessment of various risks. The spill dumped nearly 13,000 barrels of crude oil into a creek and was the largest onshore spill in nearly nine years. | 2023-05-17T02:41:51+00:00 | keyt.com | https://keyt.com/news/2023/05/16/consultants-design-issues-operations-lapses-led-to-big-kansas-oil-spill/ |
GRAPHIC: Boy, 12, burned over half his body in science experiment explosion
HIGHLANDS, N.C. (WLOS) - A 12-year-old North Carolina boy and his mother have a long road to recovery after they were both badly burned when a science experiment exploded.
Barrett McKim, 12, is hospitalized at the Burn Center in Augusta, Georgia, after a science experiment he was working on exploded. He now has second- and third-degree burns on half of his body.
His father, Kyle McKim, says the fiery accident happened Thursday at the family’s Highlands, North Carolina, home.
“It involved a Bunsen burner, and he was using a number of things. Alcohol was in the mix there, and somehow in that process, that got ignited and kinda blew up and back into his face,” Kyle McKim said. “Fortunately, he was wearing protective glasses, which certainly helped, but he was wearing a synthetic shirt, which ended up being a real contributor in the fire staying and trying to get that off, as it kind of melted away.”
Barrett’s mother, Caroline McKim, was also badly burned while trying to save her son.
“Caroline, although she’s yet to believe it, she is a hero, and I think is a lot of the reason that Barrett’s alive,” Kyle McKim said.
GRAPHIC WARNING: This video may contain disturbing content.
Barrett and his mother have a long road to recovery. Both have already undergone at least one surgery, and more are expected. However, the journey has been made easier by a supportive family. The boy’s uncle, Stephen Schlautman, set up a GoFundMe to help out.
“I have never been through a tragedy like this, but I can only imagine the cost and expense. I think everything that we can do would help,” Schlautman said.
Kyle McKim, who has rarely left his son’s hospital bedside, is happy Barrett is still alive and overwhelmed by the outpouring of support.
“We’re very grateful the Lord protected him and he’s alive. We continue to pray for healing for his little body and for his future. We know God has a real purpose for him,” he said.
The family is expected to spend several weeks in the hospital, if not months.

LONDON – British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly faced criticism Wednesday after telling gay soccer fans heading to the World Cup in Qatar that they should show some “compromise” and be “respectful of the host nation."
The comments were quickly disavowed by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's office, while a senior figure in the opposition Labour party called them “shockingly tone deaf."
Homosexual activity is criminalized in Qatar and Cleverly was asked about the issue in the wake of British activist Peter Tatchell being questioned by police after holding a one-man protest in front of Qatar’s National Museum, holding up a sign accusing the country of jailing members of the LGBTQ community.
“I have spoken to the Qatari authorities in the past about gay football fans going to watch the World Cup and how they will treat our fans and international fans," Cleverly told LBC Radio. "They want to make sure that football fans are safe, secure and enjoy themselves, and they know that that means they are going to have to make some compromises in terms of what is an Islamic country with a very different set of cultural norms to our own.
“One of the things I would say for football fans is, you know, please do be respectful of the host nation. They are trying to ensure that people can be themselves and enjoy the football, and I think with a little bit of flex and compromise at both ends, it can be a safe, secure and exciting World Cup.”
Qatar has said all are welcome at the World Cup, including LGBTQ fans, but that visitors should respect the country’s conservative culture, in which public displays of affection — even among heterosexuals — is taboo.
Qatari law calls for a prison sentence of one to three years for adults convicted of consensual gay or lesbian sex. European soccer federations last month announced their intention for captains to wear an armband with a rainbow heart design as part of an anti-discrimination campaign during international matches.
Downing Street quickly rejected Cleverly's language, saying that people should not have to “compromise who they are."
Opposition parties also criticised Cleverly's comments, with SNP Westminster deputy leader Kirsten Oswald tweeting: “Foreign Secretary seems in essence to be advising people travelling to the World Cup in Qatar to show some respect and not be gay. This is abhorrent.”
Labour shadow culture secretary Lucy Powell said: “This is shockingly tone deaf from James Cleverly. Sport should be open to all. Many fans will feel they can’t attend this tournament to cheer on their team because of Qatar’s record on human, workers, and LGBT+ rights.”

Dean Omar Branham Shirley firm prevails for asbestos victim following three-month trial
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A California woman who is dying of mesothelioma has won her legal case against cosmetics giant Avon and a forklift maker, following a nearly year-long legal battle that resulted in a combined verdict of $52.1 million.
The cumulative amount includes $40.8 million in actual damages and another $11.3 million in punitive damages.
Rita-Ann Chapman and her husband Gary Chapman grew up in Los Angles but retired in Arizona. They filed suit against Avon and other companies claiming their products contained cancer-causing asbestos and are to blame for Ms. Chapman's mesothelioma, a cancer of the thin tissue that lines the body's internal organs. Mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos and is always fatal.
In Ms. Chapman's case, attorneys argued her use of Avon cosmetic products, containing talc and asbestos, were a cause of her cancer. She started using Avon as an 8-year-old and used body and face powders through most of her life. Avon sold body and face powder talc products that were used primarily on children and woman in their homes, and sold talc products from all over the world including industrial talc.
In addition, Mr. Chapman worked at a Hyster company that made forklifts. He handled asbestos-lined brakes, clutches and gaskets and was around those working with those products. In washing his work clothes, Ms. Chapman experienced even more exposure. The jury heard that Hyster sold asbestos parts until 2003, lied about when the company first knew about the dangers of asbestos, destroyed records after being sued and removed asbestos warnings from brake suppliers before selling them to the public.
"Rita and her mother relied on a belief that Avon's products were safe to use," said Ben Adams of Dean Omar Branham Shirley, who represented Ms. Chapman and her husband. "She had no reason to even think they might cause cancer."
In their verdict, jurors placed 90% of the blame for Ms. Chapman's cancer on Avon Products, Inc. and the other 10% on Hyster-Yale Group, Inc. The monetary damages include $40 million in non-economic damages. The punitive damage award against Avon was $10.3 million. This was after the jury was asked to find a number that meant something to Avon. Avon chose to sell four talc products that the company found had high levels of asbestos for 103 days to exhaust its stocks. The jury also assessed $1 million in punitive damages against Hyster.
Rita and Gary Chapman are grateful to the jury for months of faithful consideration of the evidence.
The trial team included Jessica Dean, Ben Adams and Rachel Gross of Dean Omar Branham Shirley, LLP.
The case is Rita-Ann Chapman et al. vs. Avon Products, Inc. et al., Case number 22STCV05968 California Superior Court, County of Los Angeles, Central District.

Joe Buck is back in golf at another major, this time the PGA Championship with ESPN. He’ll be sharing his space with the likes of Fred Couples and Charles Barkley, and Peyton and Eli Manning will be sure to drop in.
Buck is leading what amounts to a “ManningCast” next week at Southern Hills.
ESPN, which has the weekday rights to the PGA Championship with extended coverage on ESPN+, says the alternate telecast will be produced in collaboration with Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions.
Buck, who previously led U.S. Open coverage when it was on Fox Sports from 2015 through 2019, will host the show with Michael Collins of ESPN. The Mannings will be guests at some point during the tournament, and other guests include Couples and Barkley, Troy Aikman, Josh Allen and actor Jon Hamm.
The ManningCast got strong reviews during “Monday Night Football” last year.
“We loved doing ‘Monday Night Football’ with ESPN and the entire Omaha team has been looking forward to producing alternate telecasts that celebrate other sports,” Peyton Manning said. “As one of golf’s majors, the PGA Championship is a perfect place to do our first one for golf and we look forward to working with Joe, Michael and everyone in ESPN’s golf team.”
The alternate telecast will be shown for four hours a day during all four rounds. It will air from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. EDT on Thursday and Friday during the final hour of live coverage on ESPN+ and then move to ESPN2 for the last three hours (as coverage moves to ESPN). On the weekend, Buck & Co. will be on from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. on ESPN (live coverage is on ESPN+) and then switch to ESPN+ as live coverage shifts to ESPN until 1 p.m.
CBS Sports has the final six hours of the weekend telecast.
The ManningCast earlier this year extended its deal with “Monday Night Football” to add a fourth year through 2024. ESPN is in the third year of an 11-year agreement to televise the PGA Championship.
MAY DAY
The Wells Fargo Championship had its weakest field since the tournament began in 2003, with Max Homa getting 44 points for winning, down from 60 a year ago.
Was it the one-time move to the TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm because the traditional site, Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, is hosting the Presidents Cup later this year?
Or are players still trying to figure out a schedule with the PGA Championship now in its third year of being played in May?
Until this year, the fewest ranking points awarded the Wells Fargo winner was 50 on three occasions: 2014 (one year after the greens were a weather-related wreck); 2017 (held at Eagle Point because the PGA was at Quail Hollow) and 2019 (the first year of the PGA Championship moving to May).
The Wells Fargo winner received 60 points last year, and perhaps that was about location — the PGA Championship was at Kiawah Island, about 225 miles from Quail.
Next year the PGA Championship is at Oak Hill in Rochester, New York.
The last two weeks on the PGA Tour featured only one player from the top 15 — Jon Rahm in the Mexico Open (he won) and Rory McIlroy at Wells Fargo (fifth place). Both will have played only once between majors.
The PGA Championship is next week, and the AT&T Byron Nelson has four of the top 10 players and six of the top 15, starting with world No. 1 and Masters champion Scottie Scheffler (who is from Dallas).
Meanwhile, none of the top 15 players in the world will have played more than two times during the five weeks between majors. Brooks Koepka and Hideki Matsuyama are playing the AT&T Byron Nelson this week, their first competition since the Masters.
It will be telling to see what kind of field Wells Fargo attracts next year at Quail Hollow, and whether the less-than-stellar field was more about TPC Potomac or more about May.
US OPEN UPDATE
Now that the PGA Championship field is set, exemptions for the U.S. Open are closing in. Any player among the top 60 in the world ranking after the PGA Championship will not have to go through qualifying.
That made for a small consolation prize for Keegan Bradley after his runner-up finish in the Wells Fargo Championship. Bradley moved up 20 spots to No. 44 and is a lock to stay in the top 60 and avoid qualifying.
Among those outside the top 60 and running out of time are Lee Westwood (No. 64) and Bubba Watson (No. 66). Watson has played in every U.S. Open since 2011.
The top 60 from the June 6 world ranking — Monday of U.S. Open week — also are exempt.
PATH TO LPGA
The LPGA Tour no longer will allow college players to retain their amateur status and compete in the final stage of tour qualifying.
The LPGA in 2018 allowed college players to compete in Q-Series — eight rounds over two weeks — and if they earned LPGA cards, to wait until July to take up membership. That allowed them to finish college or the spring semester. Jennifer Kupcho and Maria Fassi were two examples of that.
Starting this year, college players can still go through the early stages of Q-school, but they would have to turn pro if they make it to the Q-Series and try to earn a card.
Ricki Lasky, the chief tour business and operations officer for the LPGA, said it was all about a level playing field. The LPGA reached its decision after input from LPGA players and the college community.
Players who already have turned pro don’t have another semester of college to fall back on if they don’t make it, a freedom that college players might have.
Key to the decision is allowing college players in the early stages. Anyone making it to the final stage (Q-Series) is assured of Epson Tour status. That would allow them to compete on the developmental circuit and start earning money toward an LPGA card.
“Ensuring all competitors have made the same choice to be a professional player elevates the Q-Series competition and creates the most appropriate options for athletes at different stages of their careers,” Lasky said.
DIVOTS
Kevin Kisner and his wife, Brittany, have received the Augusta University President’s Award for philanthropic support to the Children’s Hospital of Georgia. They pledged $5.3 million to help establish a center for pediatric development, behavioral health and wellness. ... S.H. Kim has earned enough Korn Ferry Tour points to assure the 23-year-old South Korean will have a PGA Tour card next season. Carl Yuan of China is the only other player to have reached that level this year. ... The Constellation Furyk & Friends tournament made its PGA Tour Champions debut by raising $1.7 million for local charities. ... Wells Fargo Championship winner Max Homa is the first player to win a regular PGA Tour event twice on different courses since Brandt Snedeker in the Wyndham Championship in 2007 at Forest Oaks and in 2018 at Sedgefield. Homa won at Quail Hollow in 2019 and TPC Potomac this year. ... Ludvig Aberg of Texas Tech, Sam Bennett of Texas A&M and Eugenio Chacarra of Oklahoma State are the three finalists for the Ben Hogan Award that goes to the nation's top college golfer. The winner will be announced May 23 and receive an exemption the following year to the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial.
STAT OF THE WEEK
The last five major champions at Southern Hills are in the World Golf Hall of Fame.
FINAL WORD
“I just feel if I keep putting myself in these positions, hopefully I’ll convert one of them.” — Keegan Bradley, who has failed to convert his last four 54-hole leads on the PGA Tour.

Police: 76-year-old man burned, beaten, robbed by caretaker
Published: Dec. 6, 2022 at 11:15 PM CST|Updated: 1 hour ago
NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - A Louisiana woman is behind bars after police say she beat and burned a 76-year-old man who was in her care then stole his car, WVUE reports.
According to the New Orleans Police Department, the victim’s caretaker, 46-year-old Misty Pabst, beat him with a metal cane, burned him with a cigarette and demanded his car keys.
The incident happened Monday in the 7300 block of West Roadway Street, police say.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Prosecutors in the penalty trial of Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz will begin their rebuttal case Tuesday, challenging his attorneys’ contention that he murdered 17 people because his birth mother abused alcohol during pregnancy, a condition they say went untreated.
Prosecutor Mike Satz’s team is expected to call experts who will testify Cruz has antisocial personality disorder — in lay terms, he’s a sociopath — and fully responsible for his Feb. 14, 2018, attack at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
According to the National Institutes of Health, people with antisocial personality disorder commit “exploitive, delinquent and criminal behavior with no remorse.” They usually have no regard for others, don’t follow the law, can’t sustain consistent relationships or employment and use manipulation for personal gain, the NIH says.
Prosecutors will want to reemphasize Cruz “understood exactly” what he was doing during the massacre and could “formulate and carry out a plan,” said David S. Weinstein, a Miami defense attorney and former prosecutor.
Robert Jarvis, a professor at Nova Southeastern University’s law school, said prosecution experts will also likely testify that even if Cruz’s brain was damaged by his birth mother’s drinking, that’s true of thousands of other Americans and they don’t commit mass murder.
“If they did, we would be having mass murders on an unprecedented scale,” he said.
Cruz, who turned 24 on Saturday, pleaded guilty last October to murdering 14 Stoneman Douglas students and three staff members. The seven-man, five-woman jury will decide whether he is sentenced to death or life without parole, weighing aggravating factors presented by prosecutors against the defense’s mitigating circumstances. A juror could also vote for life out of mercy for Cruz. For the former Stoneman Douglas student to receive a death sentence, the jury must unanimously agree.
Satz’s team told Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer their presentation could take two weeks, but Jarvis and Weinstein question whether that’s too much for a jury that began hearing evidence in July.
Jurors may be eager to deliberate, so Satz should keep the rebuttal case focused and to the point, they said.
“Don’t get greedy,” Weinstein said.
Jarvis said lawyers too often think that if they just add more witnesses and evidence, that makes their case stronger. But in a trial like Cruz’s where the decision isn’t whether he’s guilty but what sentence he deserves, Jarvis believes that by rebuttal each juror knows his or her vote. Any reconsideration won’t come until deliberations.
“If you do a long rebuttal, that makes jurors think, ‘Maybe the defense really did score some points that I didn’t realize,’” Jarvis said.
Satz kept his main case simple, focusing on Cruz’s eight months of planning, the seven minutes he stalked the halls of a three-story classroom building, firing 140 shots with an AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle, and his escape.
He played security videos of the shooting and showed gruesome crime scene and autopsy photos.Teachers and students testified about watching others die. He took the jury to the fenced-off building, which remains blood-stained and bullet-pocked. Parents and spouses gave tearful and angry statements about their loss.
Cruz’s attorneys never questioned the horror he inflicted, but focused on their belief that his birth mother’s heavy drinking during pregnancy left him with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. Their experts said his bizarre, troubling and sometimes violent behavior starting at age 2 was misdiagnosed as attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder, meaning he never got the proper treatment. That left his widowed adoptive mother overwhelmed, they said.
The defense cut their case short, calling only about 25 of the 80 witnesses they said would testify. They never brought up Cruz’s high school years or called his younger half-brother, Zachary, whom they accused of bullying.
That will limit what the prosecution can raise in rebuttal — any evidence or testimony must have some tie to what the defense presented.
Prosecutors have said they plan to show racist slurs Cruz wrote on his backpack and online and the swastikas drawn on the gun he used and the boots he wore. Although there is no contention that the attack was racially motivated, prosecutors argue the words and Nazi symbols show his lack of regard for others.
Judge Scherer rejected an attempt by Cruz’s attorneys to block the swastikas’ presentation, which they argued is unnecessarily provocative. His attorneys also complained that, despite pretrial motions they filed, Scherer did not rule they were admissible until after jury selection. That meant they couldn’t ask prospective panelists whether seeing swastikas would prejudice their verdict.
Jarvis and Weinstein said the prosecution must be careful about what rebuttal evidence they present because if they go too far they could risk an appellate court overturning a death sentence, meaning the case would have to be retried.
“As a prosecutor, there comes a point in every trial where the longer you’re up there, you’re only hurting yourself,” Jarvis said. “Have we reached that point in this trial? I think we have.” | 2022-09-25T19:20:50+00:00 | fox59.com | https://fox59.com/news/ap-top-headlines/ap-prosecutors-to-begin-florida-school-shooter-trial-rebuttal/ |

Kansas City teenager Ralph Yarl recounts being shot after he rang the wrong doorbell
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — There was no way, Ralph Yarl thought, that the white man pointing the gun at him through the glass door would shoot him. But the Black teenager, who had gone to the wrong house in Kansas City looking for his younger brothers, was wrong a second time.
Yarl’s brothers were actually at a home a block away, and he said in an interview with “Good Morning America” anchor Robin Roberts that aired Tuesday that he hadn’t met the family of his brothers’ friends, “so maybe it was their house.”
After ringing the doorbell, he said, he waited a long time on the porch before the door opened.
“I see this old man and I’m saying, ‘Oh, this must be like, their grandpa,’” said Yarl, now 17. “And then he pulls out his gun. And I’m like, ‘Whoa!’ So I like, back up. He points it at me.”
Yarl braced and turned his head.
“And then it happened, and then I’m on the ground. I fall on the glass, the shattered glass,” he told Roberts, and “then before I know it, I’m running away, shouting, ‘Help me! Help me!’”
Yarl was bleeding and said he wondered how it was possible that he had been shot in the head. The man he had never met before said only five words to him, he said: “Don’t come here ever again.”
Andrew Lester, 84, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree assault and armed criminal action in the April 13 shooting.
Lester admitted that he shot Yarl through the door without warning because he was “scared to death” he was about to be robbed by the Black person standing there. He remains free after posting $20,000 — 10% of his $200,000 bond.
The shooting drew international attention amid claims that Lester received preferential treatment from investigators. President Joe Biden and several celebrities issued statements calling for justice. Yarl’s attorney, Lee Merritt, has called for the shooting to be investigated as a hate crime.
Yarl’s mother, Cleo Nagbe, said on “Good Morning America” that she had been worried that her son got a flat tire, but that she then got a call from police telling her about the shooting, and she headed to the hospital. He was partially alert, but it was traumatizing, she said.
Ten weeks later, Yarl is physically recovered but said that he has headaches and trouble sleeping and that sometimes his mind is just foggy.
“You’re looking at a kid that took the SAT when he was in eighth grade — and now his brain is slowed,” Nagbe told Roberts. “So physically he looks fine. But there’s a lot that has been taken from him.”
Yarl said he is seeing a therapist and hopes to continue his recovery by focusing on his passions for chemical engineering and for music.
“I’m just a kid and not larger than life because this happened to me,” Yarl said. “I’m just going to keep doing all the stuff that makes me happy. And just living my life the best I can, and not let this bother me.” | 2023-06-27T19:05:32+00:00 | krdo.com | https://krdo.com/news/ap-national-news/2023/06/27/kansas-city-teenager-ralph-yarl-recounts-being-shot-after-he-rang-the-wrong-doorbell/ |
WASHINGTON (Nexstar) – The U.S. Department of Commerce is now accepting applications for a grant program to help communities create jobs and better economies.
The new pilot program aims at investing hundreds of millions of dollars in communities with distressed economies and job markets.
“There’s a lot of communities that need to transition but they need investment to transition,” Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said.
Raimondo says the grants will create opportunities in people’s hometowns.
“Maybe a coal community or maybe a rural community where they’re just stuck, and they need an investment,” Raimondo said. “We have $200 million in total. We will be selecting somewhere between four and eight communities, so each community will receive tens of millions of dollars.”
Secretary Raimondo says the flexible funds can be used for different types of programs like job training or opening up new office buildings.
“The recompete pilot program is really exciting because this is meant to be a long-term economic development investment,” said Stephanie Martinez Ruckman with the National League of Cities.
Martinez-Ruckman added that the grants should make a significant difference, in part, because the money will be distributed over 10 years “to create long-term quality jobs and increasing prime age employment rates across the country.”
Communities should apply alongside other stakeholders, like companies or universities.
If the pilot is successful, the program could grow by another $800 million. | 2023-06-29T23:30:42+00:00 | wivb.com | https://www.wivb.com/news/washington-dc/commerce-department-launches-pilot-program-to-bolster-jobs-distressed-economies/ |

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Russian Ministry of Defense is in the process of purchasing millions of rockets and artillery shells from North Korea for its ongoing fight in Ukraine, according to a newly downgraded U.S. intelligence finding.
Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary, said Tuesday that “the information that we have is that Russia has specifically asked for ammunition.” He said the U.S. has seen indications Russia approached North Korea, but said he had no other details, including whether money has changed hands or any shipments are in progress.
“It does demonstrate and is indicative of the situation that Russia finds itself in, in terms of its logistics and sustainment capabilities as it relates to Ukraine,” said Ryder, in the administration’s first public comments on the intelligence assessment. “We assess that things are not going well on that front for Russia.”
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said there were no indications that the arms purchase had actually occurred yet or that any North Korean munitions had made it onto the Ukrainian battlefield. Still, he said the talks alone were “just another indication of how desperate Putin’s becoming.”
“He was buying drones from Iran, now he’s going to buy artillery rounds from from North Korea. It’s an indication of how much his defense industrial establishment is suffering as a result of this war and the degree of desperation that he’s reaching out to countries like Iran and North Korea for assistance,” he told reporters Tuesday.
U.S. intelligence officials believe the Russians could look to purchase additional North Korean military equipment in the future. The intelligence finding was first reported by The New York Times.
Kirby said U.S. intelligence suggests that Russia is in the market for on “the scale of millions of rounds” of ammunition from North Korea, but offered no additional details.
Asked why the information was declassified, Ryder it’s relevant to illustrate the condition of Russia’s ongoing military campaign in Ukraine. And, he said, it shows ”they’re trying to reach out to international actors like Iran and North Korea that don’t have the best record when it comes to international stability.”
Russia’s United Nations Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia called the U.S. intelligence finding “another fake thing that’s been circulated.” Nebenzia later added, “I can only laugh about it.”
The Biden administration said last week that Russia has faced technical problems with Iranian-made drones acquired from Tehran in August for use in its war with Ukraine. Russia picked up Mohajer-6 and Shahed-series unmanned aerial vehicles over several days last month as part what the Biden administration says is likely part of a Russian plan to acquire hundreds of Iranian UAVs for use in Ukraine.
North Korea has sought to tighten relations with Russia as much of Europe and the West has pulled away, blaming the United States for the Ukraine crisis and decrying the West’s “hegemonic policy” as justifying military action by Russia in Ukraine to protect itself.
The North Koreans have hinted interest in sending construction workers to help rebuild Russian-occupied territories in the country’s east.
North Korea’s ambassador to Moscow recently met with envoys from two Russia-backed separatist territories in the Donbas region of Ukraine and expressed optimism about cooperation in the “field of labor migration,” citing his country’s easing pandemic border controls.
In July, North Korea became the only nation aside from Russia and Syria to recognize the independence of the territories, Donetsk and Luhansk, further aligning with Russia over the conflict in Ukraine.
The North’s arms export to Russia would be a violation of U.N. resolutions that ban the country from exporting to or importing weapons from other countries. Its possible dispatch of laborers to the Russian-held territories in Ukraine would also breach a U.N. resolution that required all member states to repatriate all North Korean workers from their soil by 2019.
There have been suspicions that China and Russia haven’t fully enforced U.N. sanctions on North Korea, complicating a U.S.-led attempt to deprive North Korea of its nuclear weapons.
The provocative move by North Korea comes as the Biden administration has become increasingly concerned about stepped-up activity by North Korea in pursuit of nuclear weapons.
North Korea has test-fired more than 30 ballistic missiles this year, including its first flights of intercontinental ballistic missiles since 2017, as leader Kim Jong Un pushes to advance his nuclear arsenal despite U.S.-led pressure and sanctions.
The U.S. has frequently downgraded and made public intelligence findings over the course of the grinding war in Ukraine to highlight plans for Russian misinformation operations or to throw attention on Moscow’s difficulties in prosecuting the war. Ukraine’s smaller military has put up a stiff resistance against the militarily superior Russian forces.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Kim have recently exchanged letters in which they both called for “comprehensive” and “strategic and tactical” cooperation between the countries. Moscow, for its part, has issued statements condemning the revival of large-scale military exercises between the United States and South Korea this year, which North Korea views as an invasion rehearsal.
Russia, along with China, has called for the easing of U.N. sanctions imposed on North Korea over its nuclear and missile tests. Both countries are members of the U.N. Security Council, which has approved a total of 11 rounds of sanctions on the North since 2006. In May, Russia and China vetoed a U.S.-led bid to impose new economic sanctions on North Korea over its high-profile missile tests this year.
Some experts say that Kim could likely bolster his resolve to retain his nuclear weapons because he may think the Russian attack happened because Ukraine had signed away its nuclear arsenal.
Relations between Moscow and Pyongyang go back to the 1948 foundation of North Korea, as Soviet officials installed young, ambitious nationalist Kim Il Sung, the late grandfather of Kim Jong Un, as the country’s first ruler. Since then, Soviet aid shipment had been crucial in keeping North Korea’s economy afloat for decades before the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s.
Moscow had since established formal diplomatic relations with Seoul as part of its hopes to draw South Korean investment and allowed its Soviet-era military alliance with North Korea to expire. But after his election in 2000, Putin actively sought to restore his country’s ties with North Korea in what was seen as an effort to regain its traditional domains of influence and secure more allies to better deal with the United States.

As the sun rose on Madison, Wis., Thursday morning, the air quality was measured at 242 — a "very unhealthy" purple alert rating — due to smoke from Canada's wildfires.
Madison wasn't alone: from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to Columbus, Ohio, a swath of the Midwest was marked by a dense mass of purple dots on the U.S. AirNow fire and smoke map, signaling the need for people to limit their time outside.
The purple blots swam in a sea of red alerts from smoky air blowing down from Canada, stretching from Rochester, Minn., to Richmond, Va.
Poor air quality is being reported over a huge area, with orange, red and purple alerts issued in parts of the Mississippi Valley, Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, Central Appalachia, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast on Thursday.
"This week, the average air quality is expected to fluctuate between unhealthy for sensitive groups to unhealthy for everyone," member station Michigan Radio reports, citing state meteorologists.
Some of the health warnings apply to cities; others to entire regions. The entire state of Pennsylvania is under a code red action alert Thursday.
"On a Code Red Air Quality Action Day, young children, the elderly, and those with respiratory problems, such as asthma, emphysema, and bronchitis, are especially vulnerable to the effects of air pollution and should avoid outdoor activities, and everyone else should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion," according to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
Under the more serious "code purple" conditions, officials warn, vulnerable people should avoid all physical activity outdoors, and everyone else should avoid any prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors.
All of New York and New Jersey are under air quality alerts, the National Weather Service said, ranging from orange to red alerts.
Because smoke and wind patterns can change quickly in very localized areas, the AirNow agency recommends entering your zip code on its website to learn the latest related alert levels.
The dire alerts are hitting many areas that were recently under red and purple alerts in early June. As Washington, D.C., issued a new code red alert early Thursday, the unhealthy conditions prompted organizers of the Smithsonian Folklife Festival to cancel Thursday's opening ceremony.
Five U.S. cities — Washington, Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis and New York — were among the 10 major cities worldwide with the worst air quality and pollution Thursday, according to international air quality monitoring website IQAir.com.
Canada is currently listed as having 503 active wildfires burning, and more than half of them (258) are out of control, the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre said late Wednesday. That figure is up from around 450 fires that were burning in mid-June.
Smoke from the wildfires reached Europe this week, but because it's at a higher altitude in the atmosphere, the haze is mainly causing darker skies rather than health alerts.

VICTORY, Vt. (AP) — In the remote Vermont community of Victory, Town Clerk Tracey Martel says she’s regularly frustrated watching a spinning circle on her computer while she tries to complete even the most basic municipal chores online.
“Fast internet would be really good,” said Martel, whose community of about 70 was one of the last in Vermont to receive electricity almost 60 years ago. The DSL service she has now works for basic internet, but it can be spotty and it doesn’t allow users to access all the benefits of the interconnected world.
About 5 miles (8 kilometers) away as the bird flies in the neighboring community along Miles Pond in the town of Concord, a new fiber optic line is beginning to bring truly high-speed internet to residents of the remote area known as the Northeast Kingdom.
“I’m looking forward to high-speed internet, streaming TV,” said Concord resident John Gilchrist, as a crew ran fiber optic cable to his home earlier this year.
The fiber optic cable that is beginning to serve the remote part of Concord and will one day serve Victory is being provided through NEK Broadband, a utility of nearly 50 Vermont towns working to bring high speed internet service to the most remote parts of the state.
NEK Broadband Executive Director Christa Shute said the group’s business plan calls for offering services to all potential customers within five years, but given current supply constraints and the shortage of trained technicians, she’s beginning to think that goal isn’t achievable.
“I think our build will take seven to 10 years,” she said.
Congress has appropriated tens of billions of dollars for a variety of programs to help fill the digital gap exposed by the pandemic when millions of people were locked down in their homes with no way to study, work or get online medical care.
The first of those funds are reaching municipalities, businesses and other groups involved in the effort, but some say supply chain issues, labor shortages and geographic constraints will slow the rollout.
The demand for fiber optic cable goes beyond wired broadband to homes and businesses. The cable will help provide the 5G technology now being rolled out by wireless communications providers.
But there’s a bottleneck in the supply. Michael Bell, of Corning Optical Communications based in Charlotte, North Carolina, said the issue lies with supply of the protective jacket that surrounds the hair-thin strands of glass that carry information on beams of light.
Currently, some working to expand broadband say delays in getting the fiber optic cable they need can exceed a year.
“Based on the capacity we’re adding, and the capacity we see our competitors adding, wait times will start going down dramatically as the year progresses and into next year,” Bell said. “And I think as we get into next year, the lead time for most customers is going to be well under a year.”
Meanwhile, there’s a labor shortage for installing the cable. Many in the industry are setting up educational programs to train people to work with the fiber, said Jim Hayes, of the Santa Monica, California-based Fiber Optic Association.
“It needs to be done now,” Hayes said. “We’re going to need to train probably ten techs for every tech that we’ve got who’s competent to lead them.”
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill passed last fall, says areas that receive broadband speeds of less than 25 megabit downloads and 3 megabit uploads are considered unserved. To qualify for different federal grants through the infrastructure bill and other programs, most finished projects must offer speeds of at least 100 megabits per second for downloads. Upload speeds differ, but most federal grants have a minimum of 20 megabit uploads.
For comparison, it takes 80 seconds to download a 1 gigabyte video at the speed of 100 megabits per second. It takes four times as long — 320 seconds, or more than 5 minutes — at 25 megabits per second.
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration — a part of the Agency of Commerce, which is funding broadband projects across the country through the infrastructure law — is neutral about about how internet service providers reach the speed requirements. Many providers say the key to bringing true high-speed internet service to the entire country is to install fiber optic cable to every nook and cranny.
Deploying high-speed internet in tribal communities and rural areas across the western United States where distances dwarf those of rural northern New England will be even more challenging.
Broadband access on the Navajo Nation — the largest reservation in the U.S. at 27,000 square miles (69,930 square kilometers) in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah — is a mix of dial-up, satellite service, wireless, fiber and mobile data.
The U.S. Department of the Interior, which has broad oversight of tribal affairs, said federal appraisals, rights-of-way permits, environment reviews and archaeological protection laws can delay progress.
The argument against the wireless options currently being used in some areas is they can’t offer speeds needed to qualify for the federal grants.
Mike Wendy of the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association said wireless technology is getting faster and more reliable, and wireless connections could be the only way to reach some of the most remote locations.
“The challenge of all this money is to make sure that the unserved are served,” said Wendy, whose organization represents about 1,000 fixed wireless internet providers. “Our guys are in those markets right now and they’re growing.”
Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted said $233 million in state dollars will be used in his state to expand broadband to over 43,000 households. Other internet service providers have agreed to expand broadband to another 51,000 households. Ohio is expected to receive an additional $268 million in federal funding to further broadband expansion in the state.
Husted said Ohio is focused on infrastructure while groups and organizations are needed to provide computers and to help people adapt to the fast-growing digital age.
“We’re building the road,” Husted said. “Access to broadband is like the highway system. That’s where we’re focused. It doesn’t mean there are people who don’t need cars or need driver’s licenses.”
There are still scattered locations across the country that rely on dialup and some people in remote locations use satellite internet services. Some people have no internet options whatsoever.
Martel, the Victory town clerk, said that when the people from NEK Broadband visited, they told residents it would be five to seven years before fiber optic cable would reach the community.
But Shute said her organization hopes to get a grant to connect the most rural areas, which could move the timeline for Victory up to three years.
Back in East Concord, after having the service for several weeks, Gilchrist said he and his daughter Emily, who is 19 and headed to college in a few months, no longer have to go to the local diner to use the internet. He canceled his expensive satellite TV service, his daughter and her friends have been using it to play online video games and in a few months she will be using the connection while doing college studies.
“It’s been working great, as far as I’m concerned, all I do is check email,” Gilchrist said. “I don’t watch TV, but my daughter loves it.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Grant Wahl was remembered for his peripatetic life as a sportswriter, pursuit of social justice and lasting impact on family, friends and people he mentored.
Wahl died at age 49 from aortic aneurysm on Dec. 10 while covering a World Cup match in Qatar. A two-hour celebration of his life at The Times Center on Wednesday drew several hundred people, including colleagues and soccer officials.
“Grant and I were really just kids when we met at Princeton,” said his wife, Dr. Celine Gounder, her voice cracking at times. “I was 18. He was 21. In many ways, we finished growing up together. … He hadn’t traveled the world, yet. In fact, he’d only been out of the country twice at that point, both times to Argentina. But as much as I made fun of his provincial palette back in those days, there was something worldly about him, this curiosity he had about the world.”
Wahl grew up in the Kansas City suburb of Mission, received a bachelor’s degree from Princeton in 1996 and became a fact checker at Sports Illustrated. He was promoted to writer and covered college basketball and soccer before switching fulltime to soccer.
“Grant really did write to Sports Illustrated in late elementary school to say: `My name is Grant Wall and I want to write for your magazine,’” recalled his brother, Eric Wahl. “And he really did get a response that said something like: Dear Grant. Thanks for your letter. That’s cute. Keep writing.’ But the fact that he received a reply stuck with him.”
Wahl’s rebuke of retiring Princeton basketball coach Pete Carril in the Daily Princetonian in 1996 was recalled as an early sign of Wahl’s moral backbone and his 2002 SI cover story on LeBron James as an example of his prescience. Later in his career, Wahl advocated LGBTQ rights and criticized FIFA and Qatar’s government for their treatment of migrant workers.
Wahl stayed at SI until he was fired in 2021 during a time of the magazine’s retrenchment, then started his own website. Wahl also had a Planet Fútbol podcast.
“Grant’s effort to be Anthony Bourdain of soccer without ever trying heroin,” said Joel H. Samuels, dean of the University of South Carolina’s College of Arts and Sciences, host of the celebration, a friend from Princeton days and the officiant at Wahl’s wedding.
“It was not easy to be Grant’s editor even then,” Samuels said of their Princeton days. ”Every word that Grant Wahl wrote was gold. And I know that’s true for all of you writers, but for Grant, he would push back on any word we wanted to edit, ever.”
New Yorker editor David Remnick, who taught Wahl at Princeton, recorded a video tribute. Among the speakers were three of Wahl’s colleagues from Sports Illustrated: Alexander Wolff, L. Jon Westheim and Mark Mravic. The celebration included video of Wahl speaking and photos of many of his SI cover stories.
Wolff recalled “the high pitch his voice took on when he recounted an absurdity committed by some blazer-wrapped buffoon of world soccer.”
“In the past week, some have called our love epic. Was it an epic love story?” Gounder said. “I suppose it depends on what you mean. We had to overcome obstacles. I wasn’t a sports fan, which confused many of our friends when we first got together.”
“Ït was hard at times sharing Grant with the rest of the world,” she added. ”Until this past week, I didn’t realize just how much he’s shared of himself with all of you.”

Longtime Nevada lobbyist Sam McMullen dies at 72
Lobbyist and lawyer Sam McMullen, a staple at the Nevada Legislature for more than 40 years, died Monday. He was 72.
McMullen worked in the Legislature since 1973, starting as a student lobbyist while attending the University of Nevada, Reno. He later attended Georgetown Law. A fourth-generation Nevada native, he grew up in Elko and lived in Las Vegas.
“He goes back to the days where a deal could get done with a handshake,” his wife of 48 years, Mary-Ellen McMullen, said. “(Clients) knew when Sam McMullen walked in the door they were getting a straight shooter, they were getting the truth, and he always cared ultimately about how it would impact Nevada.”
During his lobbying career, he represented a number of gaming interests as well as medical firms and mining companies, and at points both the Las Vegas and Henderson chambers of commerce, among other clients. He also worked as an adjunct professor at the William S. Boyd School of Law at UNLV alongside his daughter Erin, who is also a lawyer and lobbyist.
Deep Nevada roots
McMullen was extremely proud of his Nevada roots, according to his family. He was the fourth Sam McMullen after his great-great-grandfather immigrated from Ireland to a ranch outside Elko in the 1860s. He frequently returned to Elko and was on the board of the Western Folklife Center there.
He started his own lobbying firm, McMullen Strategic Group, in 1990, leaving an high-level position at Harrah’s (now Caesars) in order to spend more time with his family. In 2006, McMullen joined Las Vegas law firm Snell & Wilmer to found its government lobbying arm.
“The No. 1 thing on his mind was what was best for the state of Nevada,” said George Ross, who worked with McMullen at his lobbying firm.
McMullen had the ability to see two steps ahead of other lobbyists, Ross said. He also had an eye for detail. Ross recalled one night during the 2005 session when McMullen stayed up until 4 a.m. to read through a proposed bill and found new language on page 80 which would have hurt his client’s interests.
“He loved nit-picky details,” Ross said. “He knew that the smallest word, even just a period, made a difference.”
Some of his most important work came during the 2003 session’s tax fight, according to Ross. McMullen represented the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce to lobby against against a gross receipts tax, a battle he won.
“He made the Las Vegas chamber a major player in Nevada politics,” Ross said.
The group, now known as the Vegas Chamber, called McMullen “instrumental” to its growth in a statement.
”His lifetime of work in Nevada policy making ensured that businesses across the state had a trusted and steadfast voice standing up for them during the Nevada Legislature,” the statement said.
McMullen was a significant advocate for women’s rights, especially in law, according to his daughter.
“He was all about giving people a chance,” Erin said. “I’ve heard from a lot of young women that he helped them get their start. He was just very inclusive and he was so loved by our students at UNLV.”
Family time
At home, McMullen always made time for his family, never missing a Little League game, they said. After getting home late in the night he would read his daughter’s math homework and leave a handwritten note for her to see the next morning, Erin recalled.
He also valued travel, sometimes pulling his kids out of school to take the family to exotic locales such as Australia, Easter Island and Petra in Jordan. He had a habit for doing things on the fly, deciding to extend trips on a whim, even once buying a used Ferrari off eBay to the surprise of his family.
“I felt like Jonny Quest,” his son Sam, Jr. said. “As a kid I almost thought that my dad was a secret agent taking us to far off places.”
McMullen brushed off those who view lobbyist as a dirty word. “Everyone deserves representation,” Mary-Ellen McMullen recalled her husband saying. He supplemented his lobbying and advocacy with pro bono work and support of local charities.
He is survived by Mary-Ellen, son Sam, Jr., daughter Erin McMullen Midby and granddaughter Mia, all of Las Vegas.
“We look back and we feel like we left no stone unturned as a family,” Mary-Ellen McMullen said. “He was the mastermind of all of that and created a great life for all of us. He came from a modest background and worked very hard to be able to provide his family with just wonderful experiences.”

Mix-used development, traffic accommodations coming to city of Brandon
BRANDON, Miss. (WLBT) - Brandon residents have probably noticed a lot of activity behind the Home Depot along Highway 18, and our crews have too.
Mayor Butch Lee said a mix-used development is in the works.
Lee said a company by the name of Ergon has owned 90 acres of property next to the interstate for a number of years.
The company decided to move forward with this new development because it thinks Exit 54 at I-20 is about to “explode,” according to the mayor.
Lee couldn’t say what specific businesses will be included, but he said the company has been in conversation with several.
“Two hotels, a grocery store, a couple of automobile dealerships, and eateries,” he said. “We’re in discussions weekly with Ergon and the relationships that they’re developing with tenants. As those owners come about, we’ll let them do their own announcements as to what they are.”
But first, he said the priority is to build a bridge that will connect the 90-acre property to Highway 18.
“Once the bridge is in, potential tenants and lease purchasers or whoever is going to build out here will understand the property that they’re buying,” he said.
Then, to accommodate for heavy traffic, Lee said the city of Brandon is turning Highway 18 into a four-lane roadway.
Once completed, drivers will be able to make a four-lane drive all the way to Highway 25 in Flowood.
It’s something that, he said, was long overdue.
“All of this is bringing Brandon into a positive light,” the mayor said. “You’re going to see a lot of moving out here very quickly.”
The city of Brandon is under a contractual agreement to complete the roadwork by June of next year.
As for the Ergon development, the completion date is unclear.
The mayor touted Brandon’s infrastructure, water, and sewer improvements. He said all of it played a significant role in attracting commercial development.

WESTON, Fla., Dec. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Doctors Best Wellness Center (DBWC), one of the leading wellness centers in south Florida, is pleased to now offer compounded semaglutide injections for overweight or obese adults who struggle with weight management.
As the latest weight loss trend that everyone is buzzing about on social media, numerous people have reported dramatic results with semaglutide therapy. Semaglutide itself is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) produced in the gut. It can increase insulin production, a hormone that lowers the blood sugar level, while inhibiting glucagon secretion, which is a hormone that raises blood sugar. It can also reduce appetite and energy intake while delaying gastric emptying. Compounded semaglutide contains beneficial constituents such as the amino acid L-carnitine, for example.
There may be several advantages to receiving easy, once-a-week semaglutide injections, such as a drop in caloric intake through appetite reduction, improved body composition, enhanced weight loss, enhanced growth of B cells in the pancreas, decreased adverse cardiovascular outcomes in subjects with type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease, and reduced HbA1c levels.
If you are overweight or obese with a high BMI, desire to lose weight, want to lower glycemic index, or have a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol, you may be a candidate for semaglutide injections. After a blood sample is drawn and a lab review is completed, this treatment can be recommended for a patient who qualifies.
DBWC Owner/CEO Rachael Manocchio notes, "Not only do we offer one-of-a-kind concierge customer service, but we have an experienced and knowledgeable medical team and take pride in providing the most competitive pricing around. Let us help you achieve optimum health, stamina, and longevity!"
About: Located in Weston, FL, Doctors Best Wellness Center prides itself on providing the utmost care for its patients and helping them to look and feel the way they always imagined. DBWC believes health and overall wellness can be achieved through motivation, compassion, and self-value. Offered services include various medical programs on hormone optimization, medical weight loss, facial rejuvenation, and sexual wellness.

WASHINGTON – Federal Reserve officials were concerned at their meeting last month that consumers were starting to anticipate higher inflation, and they signaled that much higher interest rates could be needed to restrain it.
The policymakers also acknowledged, in minutes from their June 14-15 meeting released Wednesday, that their rate hikes could weaken the economy. But they suggested that such steps were necessary to slow price increases back to the Fed's 2% annual target.
The officials agreed that the central bank needed to raise its benchmark interest rate to “restrictive” levels that would slow the economy’s growth and “recognized that an even more restrictive stance could be appropriate” if inflation persisted. After last month's meeting, the Fed raised its rate by three-quarters of a point to a range of 1.5% to 1.75% — the biggest single increase in nearly three decades — and signaled that further large hikes would likely be needed.
The Fed has been ramping up its drive to tighten credit and slow growth with inflation having reached a four-decade high of 8.6%, spreading to more areas of the economy. Americans are also starting to expect high inflation to last longer than they had before — a sentiment could embed an inflationary psychology and make it harder to bring inflation back to the Fed’s 2% target.
With midterm elections nearing, high inflation has surged to the top of Americans’ concerns, posing a threat to President Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress.
At a news conference after last month's Fed meeting, Chair Jerome Powell suggested that a rate hike of either one-half or three-quarters of a point was likely when the policymakers next meet late this month. The minutes released Wednesday confirmed that other officials agreed that such a hike would “likely be appropriate.” A rate hike of either size would exceed the quarter-point increase that the Fed has typically carried out.
Last month, the Fed released projections that showed the officials expect to raise their benchmark rate to 3.4% by the end of this year. At that level, the Fed’s key rate would no longer stimulate growth and could weaken the economy.
At the time of last month's meeting, the policymakers said the economy appeared to be expanding in the April-June quarter, with consumer spending “remaining strong.” Since then, though, the economy has shown signs of slowing, with consumer spending falling in May, after adjusting for inflation, for the first time this year. Home sales are plunging as mortgage rates have jumped, accelerated by the Fed’s rate increases.
The signs of economic sluggishness have intensified fears that high prices and rising interest rates could send the economy into a recession late this year or next year. Such concern has further complicated the Fed’s policymaking because a recession would normally lead it to cut rates to stimulate growth. | 2022-07-06T18:39:06+00:00 | ksat.com | https://www.ksat.com/business/2022/07/06/fed-sharply-higher-rates-may-be-needed-to-quell-inflation/ |

Family loses ‘everything’ when thieves steal packed U-Haul truck
DENVER (KCNC) - Imagine everything you have is stolen in just a few seconds.
A Denver family said this happened to them after their packed moving truck was stolen last week.
Gabriale Voeltner said they packed their entire lives into a U-Haul truck, preparing for a move from downtown Denver to a neighborhood in Westminster.
“We were trying to be polite neighbors and not move in the middle of the night,” Voeltner said.
The family said they spent one last night in their old apartment and parked the 20-foot U-Haul outside.
“We checked on it at night and by the morning it was gone,” Voeltner said.
The family said they realized they had just lost all of their furniture, clothes and possessions.
“Everything that we have on is all that we have left,” Voeltner said.
But the family said something far more valuable was taken.
“It was my husband’s ashes; it was my mom’s ashes. It was our first family pet’s ashes. All of the love letters that my husband wrote me, all of the pictures he ever drew for our kids,” Voeltner said.
Voeltner said her husband, and father of their four kids, died in 2017.
“They [thieves] took the last thing that we had of him,” she said.
Voeltner said her mother died two years ago and the family pet died last year.
“We had a beautiful urn and memorabilia set up for her, and they took that too,” Voeltner said.
The family said Denver police have been notified of the incident, but the U-Haul truck does not have GPS.
Now, they are wanting those responsible to at least leave the remains inside the truck if they abandon the vehicle somewhere.
“You can take all the valuable stuff, but I just hope they see the sentimental stuff and just leave it,” Voeltner said.
The Voeltner family said the U-Haul is from Arizona and it has an octopus-painted design on it.

National Doughnut Day 2023 is Friday, June 2, and Krispy Kreme is celebrating by giving away a free doughnut to everyone. The chain is also offering a deal if you buy a dozen doughnuts.
All guests can enjoy any doughnut of their choice for free, no purchase necessary, simply by heading to Krispy Kreme on June 2. If you want even more doughnuts, you can also pick up an Original Glazed dozens box for just $2 with the purchase of any dozen.
The free doughnut offer is available in shops and in the drive-thru at participating shops across the U.S. The $2 Original Glazed Dozen BOGO is available in stores and online for pickup and delivery.
The flavors you can choose from for your free doughnut include the four from Krispy Kreme’s “Fan Favs” collection: Banana Pudding, Strawberries & Kreme, Chocolate Kreme Pie and Key Lime Pie.
All four doughnuts have been part of previous limited-time collections since 2018. They are each filled with different-flavored Kreme and have different decorations. For example, the Banana Pudding doughnut also includes vanilla wafer cookies and the Key Lime Kreme doughnut is topped with graham cracker crumbs.
The Fan Favs doughnuts are only around until June 18, so this is the perfect time to try one.
Dunkin’ will also be handing out free doughnuts on June 2 for National Doughnut Day, but you will need to purchase a beverage to get a free doughnut of your choice.
If you don’t have a Krispy Kreme or Dunkin’ nearby, you may want to check if any local doughnut shops are offering a deal. Of course, you can always try baking up your own doughnuts.
This recipe from The Kitchn calls for just two ingredients: prepared biscuit dough and oil. After frying, simply choose whatever other flavors you want. Fill them with jelly or roll them in cinnamon sugar.
What is your favorite doughnut?

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Oklahoma jail inmate, after being booked into jail, was able to leave the booking area unsupervised and raped a handcuffed female inmate who was awaiting release, according to charges filed Thursday.
The victim “was handcuffed to a bar attached to a wall in the receiving area of the Oklahoma County jail and unable to escape” when Donta Ramone Thomas, 44, was able to remove her pants and rape her on July 19, according to charging documents submitted by District Attorney David Prater.
Jail surveillance video of the incident showed Thomas ignored orders to stand with his back to the wall and wait for other inmates to be processed after he was booked into jail on assault charges.
“Thomas disregarded these instructions and walked away from the area,” according to an affidavit. “He walked down the hallway toward the old medical screening area, where (the victim) was sitting, handcuffed to a bar.”
The video showed Thomas eventually groping the woman, forcing her to stand, then raping her, the affidavit stated.
Court documents say a warrant for Thomas’ arrest has been issued, but jail records do not show that he was in custody as of Friday afternoon.
The court documents do not list an attorney who could speak on Thomas’ behalf and the attorney who represented him on the previous assault charges did not return a phone call for comment.
The incident is the latest at the jail, where a nine-member trust took over the jail from the sheriff’s office in 2020, tasked with managing its operation and finances. Oklahoma County’s Board of Commissioners unanimously approved of the trust the previous year.
“This is yet another example of the jail trust’s complete disregard for those they are responsible for protecting,” Prater said in a text to The Associated Press.
Since taking over jail operations, the trust has come under fire because of inmate deaths, escapes and other incidents. Those incidents include cruelty charges against two former jail employees and a supervisor after investigators found they forced inmates to stand handcuffed for hours and listen to the children’s song “Baby Shark” on repeat.
The criticism intensified after an inmate was shot and killed by police after taking a detention officer hostage last year. | 2022-09-16T21:08:21+00:00 | seattletimes.com | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/oklahoma-inmate-charged-with-raping-handcuffed-female-inmate/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all |
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – More than a dozen buildings in Volusia County are still deemed unsafe a week after Hurricane Nicole hit.
The storm tore up dunes on the coast, bringing the water right to the base of many buildings. With the holiday season now almost here, businesses are gearing up for a hit to beach tourism.
[TRENDING: Photos show ‘demon fish’ found along Florida waterway | 17-year-old stabbed teen girl to death in Kissimmee, police say | Become a News 6 Insider]
As of Friday, county leaders said 17 buildings along the coast were still too unsafe for people to go inside. Some of those are condo buildings and others are hotels. They still need to have repairs done or structural engineers still have to inspect them.
“We’re very concerned about brick and mortar, that’s OK, but how about the thousands of employees that are no longer employed,” said Bob Davis, president of Volusia’s Lodging and Hospitality Association.
With the beach being one of the county’s main tourism selling points, Davis also worries about access to it for visitors.
“It keeps the Ocean Center open, it keeps advertising doors open, the sales tax with the city and county’s share on that,” he said.
A majority of the county’s 141 beach walkovers and 30 car ramps are closed and likely won’t reopen for some time.
“A lot of cleanups, a lot of debris still so it’s very challenging. We’ve had those extreme high tides because of the beach erosion so it’s been very difficult to get down there and try to work - we’re really limited,” Deputy Chief Tammy Malphurs with Volusia Beach Safety said.
The county said it has the funding to fix them and hopes to be reimbursed by FEMA. Malphurs said in the meantime while people may be able to find other openings to get on the beach -- there are still dangers to look out for.
“There’s still a lot of debris along the beach, along the coast and a lot of damaged seawalls that have come down, so we want people to be extremely cautious when they go out there,” she said.
The county said it is going to be able to open four beach ramps for driving this weekend: three in New Smyrna and one in Ponce Inlet.

AN FRANCISCO (AP) — Good news for all the password-haters out there: Google has taken a big step toward making them an afterthought by adding “passkeys” as a more straightforward and secure way to log into its services.
Here’s what you need to know:
WHAT ARE PASSKEYS?
Passkeys offer a safer alternative to passwords and texted confirmation codes. Users won’t ever see them directly; instead, an online service like Gmail will use them to communicate directly with a trusted device such as your phone or computer to log you in.
All you’ll have to do is verify your identity on the device using a PIN unlock code, biometrics such as your fingerprint or a face scan or a more sophisticated physical security dongle.
Google designed its passkeys to work with a variety of devices, so you can use them on iPhones, Macs and Windows computers as well as Google’s own Android phones.
WHY ARE PASSKEYS NECESSARY?
Thanks to clever hackers and human fallibility, passwords are just too easy to steal or defeat. And making them more complex just opens the door to users defeating themselves.
For starters, many people choose passwords they can remember — and easy-to-recall passwords are also easy to hack. For years, analysis of hacked password caches found that the most common password in use was “password123.” A more recent study by the password manager NordPass found that it’s now just “password.” This isn’t fooling anyone.
Passwords are also frequently compromised in security breaches. Stronger passwords are more secure, but only if you choose ones that are unique, complex and non-obvious. And once you’ve settled on “erVex411$%” as your password, good luck remembering it.
In short, passwords put security and ease of use directly at odds. Software-based password managers, which can create and store complex passwords for you, are valuable tools that can improve security. But even password managers have a master password you need to protect, and that plunges you back into the swamp.
In addition to sidestepping all those problems, passkeys have one additional advantage over passwords. They’re specific to particular websites, so scammer sites can’t steal a passkey from a dating site and use it to raid your bank account.
HOW DO I START USING PASSKEYS?
First step is to enable them for your Google account. On any trusted phone or computer, open the browser and sign into your Google account. Then visit the page g.co/passkeys and click the option to “start using passkeys.” Voila! The passkey feature is now activated for that account.
If you’re on an Apple device, you’ll first be prompted to set up the Keychain app if you’re not already using it; it securely stores passwords and now passkeys as well.
Next step is to create the actual passkeys that will connect your trusted device. If you’re using an Android phone that’s already logged into your Google account, you’re most of the way there; Android phones are automatically ready to use passkeys, though you still have enable the function first.
On the same Google account page noted above, look for the “Create a passkey” button. Pressing it will open a window and let you create a passkey either on your current device or on another device. There’s no wrong choice; the system will simply notify you if that passkey already exists.
If you’re on a PC that can’t create a passkey, it will open a QR code that you can scan with the ordinary cameras on iPhones and Android devices. You may have to move the phone closer until the message “Set up passkey” appears on the image. Tap that and you’re on your way.
AND THEN WHAT?
From that point on, signing into Google will only require you to enter your email address. If you’ve gotten passkeys set up properly, you’ll simply get a message on your phone or other device asking you to for your fingerprint, your face or a PIN.
Of course, your password is still there. But if passkeys take off, odds are good you won’t be needing it very much. You may even choose to delete it from your account someday. | 2023-05-04T12:35:00+00:00 | fox44news.com | https://www.fox44news.com/news/national-world-news/hate-passwords-google-is-sidelining-them/ |
Macron to award top U.S. general France’s highest honors
PARIS (AP) — U.S. Joint Chiefs chairman Gen. Mark Milley will receive France’s highest medal of honor Friday for his role in coordinating support for Ukraine and for his more than 40-year military career spent in defense of democracy, French President Emmanuel Macron’s office said.
Milley, who is traveling in France to attend ceremonies at Normandy to mark the 79th anniversary of D-Day, is close to finishing a four-year term as the top U.S. military officer and plans to retire when his tenure as chairman ends Sept. 30.
Macron plans to award him the Legion of Honor order of commander at a closed ceremony. The honor was created by French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802. It is awarded at various categories to about 2,000 citizens and about 300 foreigners each year for defense of French values.
“The president of the French Republic will pay tribute to the strength and quality of the ties of military cooperation that unite our two countries, and to General Milley’s eminent role in this relationship,” Macron’s office said. “This will be an opportunity for the president to discuss the many areas of close cooperation between our two countries, from the Sahel to the Levant, against the backdrop of Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine.”
Earlier this year, Macron awarded the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for his country’s stand against Russia’s invasion.
Russian President Vladimir Putin received the award in 2006. Macron has considered stripping Putin of the honor but has said a decision to do so “should be taken at the right moment.”

BROOMFIELD, Colo. (KDVR) – A Colorado teenager is recovering after his neck was sliced by a skate during a hockey game Friday.
Reed Borgman is the son of an employee at Nexstar’s Denver news station, KDVR. Reed was injured when he and another player fell to the ice.
“While I was falling down, his skate hit my neck and sliced it. I didn’t really know what happened at the time,” Reed said.
His father, Ryan Borgman, took him to an urgent care for stitches and Reed is going to be fine.
But it was a close call. In rare cases, other players have died from similar injuries.
Providers told the family that if the cut was one inch over, it could have been deadly.
“It was scary. I got chills because you think about what could have happened,” Ryan said.
The Borgmans will now require Reed to wear a neck guard moving forward, and they wonder why it isn’t a requirement.
Earlier this year, a Connecticut 16-year-old died after a similar incident.
Teddy Balkind, a sophomore at St. Luke’s School, was taken to Greenwich Hospital and died that night as a result of the injury, according to officials.
Recently, the 10th grader’s friend, Sam Brande, started an online petition, asking the governing body for organized ice hockey to mandate the safety gear. The governing body for interscholastic sports among secondary schools in Connecticut requires all hockey players to wear neck protection, but that rule doesn’t apply to private schools or youth hockey programs.
In a statement earlier this year, USA Hockey said:
USA Hockey continues to recommend a neck laceration protector for all players. The heightened discussions around lacerations from a skate blade reinforce the recommendation that players wear a neck laceration protector that covers as much of the neck as possible along with cut-resistant socks, sleeves or undergarments. USA Hockey, led by its safety and protective equipment committee, will work with equipment companies and maintain efforts to ensure the safest possible environment for all participants.
USA Hockey statement
It added, “There is sparse data on neck laceration prevalence, severity and neck laceration protector [neck guard] effectiveness.” | 2022-10-11T20:28:14+00:00 | pahomepage.com | https://www.pahomepage.com/uncategorized/hockey-skate-slices-teens-neck-during-game/ |
