Streaming, subscriptions integral to how people use, experience consumer technology
ARLINGTON, Va., April 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Consumer Technology Association (CTA)® announced its first U.S. Consumer Technology Software and Services Industry Forecast today. The report shows that software and services account for 31% ($151 billion) of the U.S. consumer technology market in 2023. The sector's rise is driven by a broadening portfolio of subscription services including new offerings like Digital Therapeutics (DTx). It finds consumers want a seamless experience when using different services, and service providers will continue to merge.
Based on CTA's U.S. Consumer Technology One-Year Industry Forecast, this report reveals how software and services are evolving traditional views of how content is consumed. It previews how AI, IoT, cloud services and connectivity create new possibilities as designers leverage new tools to deliver compelling products. The category will contribute $1 billion in new spending to the industry this year, balancing flat demand for hardware.
"The rise of digital therapeutics, gaming and streaming offerings add vibrancy and choice to the consumer technology industry, offering entertainment on the go and the ability to manage your health," said Rick Kowalski, Sr. Director, Business Intelligence at CTA. "Hardware remains important, but services are an essential part of the customer experience. They are expanding the possibilities of what we can do with our devices and shaping the future of entertainment."
Top five software and service growth areas (2023 versus 2022):
- Digital Therapeutics (19% growth): Topping the growth list, DTx is a promising approach to health care that can improve patient outcomes and reduce health care costs. This emerging ($300 million) market has vast growth potential, with the sector up 25% in 2022 and predicting 19% growth in 2023. DTx helps address behavioral and mental health conditions such as attention deficit disorder, substance abuse recovery and post-traumatic stress disorder.
- Gaming subscription services (10% growth): Competition is intensifying as gamers embrace cloud gaming, subscription services offer more games, and video streaming services enter the fray to compete with console manufacturers.
- Fitness subscription services (5% growth): Consumers flocked to connected fitness equipment during the pandemic and discovered the ease, simplicity and benefits of working out at home. As consumers seek more value and convenience, this industry will see fierce competition among incumbents, and disruptors offering a variety of workouts and access to entertaining trainers will fare better than most.
- Live TV streaming (4% growth): 2022 marked the start of a new era of subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) as costs and churn increased across the streaming video space. Streaming providers have seen subscriber growth thanks to ad-supported VOD (AVOD) offerings. Over-the-top (OTT) and SVOD are likely to unify as traditional SVOD players look to consolidate or bundle offerings, adding sports and live programming to draw subscribers.
- Home security subscription services (4% growth): Security products are among the most desired for those who plan to purchase smart home tech in the coming year.
Key Influences on Services Spending
Economic uncertainty is weighing on consumers and businesses. Inflation, rising debt and dwindling savings are the biggest concerns influencing consumer spending:
- Gaming remains the largest form of digital entertainment. But, for the first time since forecasting the gaming software category, CTA estimates U.S. gaming software revenues contracted by 6% in 2022, to $48.1 billion.
- Fewer discretionary dollars. Higher prices on necessities compete with available dollars for services.
- Higher prices on services. Many services have increased monthly fees, especially streaming video services.
- Consumer uncertainty persists. Consumers may have a tough time making decisions because they don't know what will happen to the economy.
- Subscription fatigue. With so many services available, consumers may look to save money by bundling or reducing the number of services they use.
- Disruption continues. Streaming services continue to shake up long-standing business models.

Travelers waited out widespread delays at U.S. airports on Tuesday, an ominous sign heading into the long July 4 holiday weekend, which is shaping up as the biggest test yet for airlines that are struggling to keep up with surging numbers of passengers.
In some cases, delays ran several hours at airports in the Northeast, as thunderstorms pounded the region.
At various times, the Federal Aviation Administration held up flights bound for LaGuardia Airport in New York and Reagan Washington National and Baltimore-Washington airports near the nation’s capital.
By mid-afternoon on the East Coast, more than 4,000 flights were delayed and about 1,300 canceled, according to FlightAware.
Call it the storm before the storm.
The FAA was expecting about 48,000 flights on Tuesday, rising on Wednesday and peaking at more than 52,500 on Thursday, which figures to be the biggest travel day of the holiday period.
If large numbers of passengers are stranded or delayed this weekend, expect federal officials and the airlines to blame each other for the mess.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, whose department includes the FAA, has been beating up on the airlines for more than a year. He has accused them of failing to live up to reasonable standards of customer service and suggested that they are scheduling more flights than they can handle.
The airlines are punching back.
United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby blamed a shortage of federal air traffic controllers for massive disruptions last weekend at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey, a critical hub for his airline.
“We estimate that over 150,000 customers on United alone were impacted this weekend because of FAA staffing issues and their ability to manage traffic,” Kirby wrote in a memo to employees Tuesday night.
The FAA has admitted that it is understaffed at key facilities including one in the New York City region. It is training about 3,000 new air traffic controllers, but most of them won’t be ready anytime soon. Last week, the Transportation Department’s inspector general said in a report that the FAA has made only “limited efforts” to adequately staff critical air traffic control centers and lacks a plan to tackle the problem.
The good news: Airlines are canceling only 1.5% of U.S. flights this month, a lower percentage than a year ago or in June 2019, the last summer before the pandemic.
On the other hand, delays are running above even their elevated rate in June of last year, when airlines were still rebuilding their work forces.
More than one in every four flights this month has been late — 180,000 in all — and that’s with the government-allowed grace period for tardy arrivals and the extra time that airlines build into their schedules to make the numbers look better. At 26%, the rate of late flights is up nearly one-third from 2019.
Meanwhile, traffic has rebounded to roughly pre-pandemic levels. The Transportation Security Administration has screened 2.55 million travelers a day on average this month, down about 1% fewer from the same period in 2019. | 2023-06-27T19:47:22+00:00 | fox59.com | https://fox59.com/business/ap-business/if-youre-traveling-over-july-4-weekend-be-ready-for-flight-delays-as-airlines-face-a-major-test/ |
RENO, Nev. (AP) — No one really knows how much snow fell on the infamous Donner Party when the pioneers were trapped atop the Sierra Nevada for months and dozens died near Lake Tahoe in the winter of 1846-47.
But this season has now etched its way into the history books as the second snowiest in the 77 years of record-keeping at the Central Sierra Snow Lab — more than 56.4 feet (677 inches, 17.2 meters) with no end in sight.
And there’s still a chance it could surpass the record of 67.7 feet (812 inches, 20.6 meters) set in 1951-52 when more than 200 passengers on a San Francisco-bound luxury train from Chicago were stranded for three days near Donner Pass west of Truckee, California.
Over the weekend, the “winter that just doesn’t want to end” as the National Weather Service in Reno put it, topped the previous No. 2 record of 55.9 feet (671 inches, 17 meters) set in 1982-83. That was the second of back-to-back blizzard buster seasons remembered most for an avalanche that killed seven at a Tahoe ski resort on March 31, 1982.
Since December, a parade of atmospheric storms have dumped so much snow on the Sierra that Tahoe ski resorts have been forced to shut down multiple times.
The final day of the Nevada high school state skiing championships was canceled. Roofs collapsed under the weight of snow and schools shuttered for days. Interstate 80 closed several times between Reno and Sacramento.
“It started early and it seems to just keep going,” said Eric Sage, 45, of Sparks, who shoveled his way through many big winters growing up in Truckee but doesn’t remember one like this. “Stacked up, big storm after big storm after big storm — wham, wham, wham.”
The official record book keeper is UC-Berkeley’s Central Sierra Snow Lab, founded in 1946 in Soda Springs, California, northwest of Lake Tahoe.
“We’ve seen bigger storms in other years and years with higher snow water equivalent totals … but the relentlessness of this season is likely what makes it most unique,” said Andrew Schwartz, the lab’s manager and lead scientist.
More snow is forecast over the next 10 days, but nobody knows what the spring will bring.
“Historically, some of our big seasons have continued to be active right on through the end of spring,” said Tim Bardsley, the senior hydrologist for the National Weather Service in Reno.
The official winter season coincides with the water year, beginning Oct. 1 and ending the following Sept. 30. Sometimes snow continues falling in the Sierra well into June.
For this winter to overtake the record in 1951-52, another 145 inches (368 cm) would have to fall — unlikely, but not out of the question.
“There’s basically nothing that would indicate just because we’ve been this active, we would then transition the other direction,” Bardsley said. “I’d almost say the opposite is more likely to be true.”
Several of the snowiest winters logged at least one-fourth of their season total after March 15. What’s now the fourth-snowiest winter in 2010-11 received 225 inches (572 cm) of its 643 total inches (1,635 cm) — or 35% — post-March 15.
The snow lab has records dating to 1880 based on measurements taken by the Southern Pacific Railroad. Those unofficial measurements taken near where the train was stranded in 1952 suggest more snow could have fallen in 1938, and nearly that much in 1880 and 1890.
The lab doesn’t formally recognize those numbers because they were from slightly different locations using a different methodology.
Mark McLaughlin, a Tahoe-area author of several books on Sierra history and weather, accepts the railroad numbers and believes snow that fell on the Donner Party in 1846-47 is similar to what fell in 1951-52.
Ten major storms dumped rain and snow on the mountains the first two weeks of November 1846. The monument at Donner Memorial State Park indicates the snow depth reached 22.5 feet (6.9 meters) before some of the stranded resorted to cannibalism.
The now-third-ranked 1982-83 winter came on the heels of the season when Tahoe’s deadliest avalanche struck at Alpine Valley south of Truckee. Some 90 inches (228 centimeters) of snow fell in four days leading up to the disaster.
The 1960 Winter Olympics, the first televised, put Lake Tahoe on the map after the world got a look at the snow-covered mountains surrounding the alpine lake with the turquoise waters. But the winter itself got off to a slow start and Olympic officials were in a panic in the weeks leading up to the games.
“There was no real snow by New Year’s Day and the Olympics were coming in the third week of February,” McLaughlin said. “Then the storm door opened and it snowed and snowed and snowed. There was so much snow no one could practice ski runs on the mountain.”
Author Peggy Townsend and her husband, parents of pro skier Cody Townsend, said they were overwhelmed by the piles of snow when they arrived at their Olympic Valley-area cabin near the base of a Tahoe ski resort last month. They had to park down the road and dig their way in through 10 feet (3 meters) of snow.
“We would have to dig out like three, or four times a day, just so we could get to the woodpile,” Peggy Townsend said. After four days, they’d had enough.
“When there was a break in the snow,” she recalled, “We just said ‘we’re going to get the hell out of there.’”

Michigan State hosts Universal Food Forum in D.C
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - Michigan State University Assistant Dean Dr. Karim Maredia said the three C’s of climate, COVID, and conflict are causing issues for global food systems. And they can’t solve those problems without starting a conversation.
Maredia said food systems have modern problems, from a war in Ukraine to a global pandemic, requiring modern solutions.
“We need to look at the role that science, technology and innovation can play for addressing these solutions.”
Maredia says Michigan State is an international university, so they need to be a leader in collaboration on food system solutions. The university held a Universal Food Forum in Washington D.C. where university leaders collaborated with White House and U.S. Department of Agriculture staff on ways to improve the current food environment.
“No one can do it alone,” Maredia said. “We all need to work together. All the stake holders, academia, the industry, the government.”
U.S Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Vilsack said collaboration across the industry, especially on managing climate change, is good for everyone.

“By doing it right, we’re going to reduce the risk of the climate crisis,” Vilsack said. “We’ll be able to adapt and mitigate more effectively. We’ll have higher farm incomes, and we’ll allow the U.S. to provide global leadership.”
Maredia said, at the end of the day, these conversations will benefit consumers at the grocery store.
“We need to do more research, and find out what are the roadblocks of people getting access to safe and nutritious food.”

ABOARD THE USS PAUL HAMILTON IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ (AP) — The Mideast-based commanders of the U.S., British and French navies transited the Strait of Hormuz on Friday aboard an American warship, a sign of their unified approach to keep the crucial waterway open after Iran seized two oil tankers.
Tensions in the Persian Gulf have been volatile since Iran’s nuclear deal with world powers collapsed, following the U.S.’ unilateral withdrawal five years ago. The incredibly rare, joint trip by the three navy chiefs aboard the USS Paul Hamilton, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, saw three fast boats of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard approach the vessel at one point.
Guardsmen stood by uncovered machine guns on their decks, while sailors aboard the Paul Hamilton similarly stood by loaded machine guns as others shot photographs and video of the vessels. An Associated Press journalist also accompanied the allied naval commanders.
While the Guard kept its distance from both the Paul Hamilton and the passing British frigate HMS Lancaster, their presence showed just how tense passage for vessels can be in the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which a fifth of global oil supplies passes.
“Iran has seized or attacked 15 ships in the last two years. Eight seizures and seven attacks,” Vice Adm. Brad Cooper, who oversees the U.S. Navy’s Mideast-based 5th Fleet, told the AP. “So the shipping industry is mindful of what the security posture looks like in the region. We have the ability to positively impact that influence and that’s what we’re doing now.”
Cooper said Iran’s Guard ships Friday came within 1,000 yards (915 meters) of the Paul Hamilton, which is based out of San Diego.
The U.S. has viewed securing the Middle East’s waterways, particularly the Strait of Hormuz, as key since then-President Jimmy Carter’s 1980 speech vowing to use military force to protect American interests in the wider Persian Gulf. While focused then on the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan, the Carter Doctrine’s vow to allow “the free movement of Middle East oil” now pits the U.S. against Iran, which has seized a series of oil tankers since the collapse of its nuclear deal with world powers.
Last week, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told journalists that America planned to make “a series of moves to bolster our defensive posture” in the Persian Gulf, while criticizing Iran’s recent seizures of tankers. Cooper said the joint trip on the Paul Hamilton represented part of that push, with the aim of having more coalition ships passing through the strait on a regular basis.
“The volume of commerce that flows through the Strait of Hormuz — it is critical to the world’s economy,” he said.
For its part, Iran long has bristled at the American presence in the region. After Kirby’s remarks, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani issued a lengthy statement accusing the U.S. of “creating and intensifying instability and insecurity in the Persian Gulf region for decades with its interventionist and destructive policies.”
However, Kanaani also specifically mentioned the U.S. “seizing and confiscating some Iranian oil cargoes in international waters.” The suspected American seizure of the Suez Rajan, a tanker linked to a U.S. private equity firm believed to have been carrying sanctioned Iranian crude oil off Singapore, likely sparked Tehran to recently take the Marshall Islands-flagged tanker Advantage Sweet. That ship carried Kuwaiti crude oil for energy firm Chevron Corp. of San Ramon, California.
There was no immediate reaction in Iranian state media nor from the Guard about the Paul Hamilton’s trip from the Persian Gulf out through the strait to the Gulf of Oman. However, it was unlikely the Iranians immediately knew that the American, British and French commanders had been aboard the vessel, though at least one Guard member aboard the fast boats was studying the Paul Hamilton with a pair of binoculars.
Iran’s mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the trip.
On the trip through the Strait of Hormuz, at least one Iranian drone watched the Paul Hamilton. Meanwhile, an U.S. Navy Boeing P-8 Poseidon also was overhead. U.S. forces also routinely fly drones in the region as well, while a Navy task force also has put some drones out to sea.
Securing the Strait of Hormuz has been a challenge since the Carter Doctrine — and deadly. The so-called 1980s “Tanker War” involved American naval ships escorting reflagged Kuwaiti oil tankers through the gulf and the strait after Iranian mines damaged vessels in the region. The U.S. Navy even fought a one-day naval battle against Iran at the time, as well as accidentally shot down an Iranian commercial airliner, killing 290 people.
Former President Donald Trump’s decision to unilaterally withdraw from Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers sparked new challenges from Iran in the region. Tehran seized tankers, while the Navy also blamed Iran for again using mines against shipping. The Trump administration came up with its Sentinel program, which also involved it and partner nations escorting ships in the region. But tensions with Europe after the nuclear deal’s collapse didn’t see a wide buy-in with the program.
This renewed effort under President Joe Biden does not appear to involve escorting individual ships, but trying to put more allied forces in the region. Already, the U.S. has brought A-10 Thunderbolt IIs and a submarine in the region to try to deter Iran.
America also could bring more ships into the Persian Gulf. The end of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as the war in Ukraine and American concern over China’s expansion in the South China Sea, has halted routine carrier deployments in recent years.
For now, Cooper pointed to the presence of his British and French colleagues — Commodore Philip Dennis, the commander of the United Kingdom Maritime Component Command, and Vice Adm. Emmanuel Slaars, the joint commander of the French forces deployed in the Indian Ocean — as a sign of the resolve of America and its partners.
This is “part of our increase in presence in the region, which was described by the White House last week, and that’s now in execution,” Cooper said.

Serena Williams was wearing real diamonds on the court Monday night at the U.S. Open. Williams' Nike shoes featured a diamond-encrusted Swoosh design, the company said.
Nike said the dress, which Williams designed, was inspired by a figure skating competition outfit. It featured a crystal-encrusted bodice and a skirt with six layers. However, Williams said she removed several of the layers because it was too heavy.
Williams dazzled the night crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium with her dress and play. She beat Danka Kovinic in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3.
The sold-out crowd featured celebrities who came out to support Williams. Bill Clinton, Spike Lee, Hugh Jackman and Gayle King were among those in attendance.
Williams, who has won 23 grand slam titles, said she is evolving away from tennis and the U.S. Open will likely be her final tournament. She will play No. 2 Anett Kontaveit on Wednesday. | 2022-08-30T14:39:29+00:00 | abc15.com | https://www.abc15.com/news/national/serena-williams-wears-diamond-encrusted-outfit-in-win-at-us-open |
But nearly three-in-ten oil, gas and utility companies say inability to define and measure ROI remains a barrier to adoption
LONDON, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- More than three-in-ten (31%) oil, gas and utility organisations worldwide cite tighter integration and collaboration across functions among the top two drivers for the adoption of enterprise software systems, while 30% reference better project management, 29% improved asset lifecycle management and 29% improved operational efficiency.
These were among the highlights of new research commissioned by IFS, polling over 600 senior decision-makers at large energy companies across France, Australia, Japan, the Nordics, USA, the UK, and the Middle East. The research also found that 44% of organisations with sustainability goals want to invest in more energy-efficient assets and infrastructure to meet those objectives.
Barriers to change
Despite these key drivers, significant barriers to technology adoption remain, especially around the inability to define and measure the ROI of enterprise software systems like EAM and ERP. Nearly three in ten (29%) say the chief barrier to adoption is the inability to accurately measure value from investment during the digital transformation journey. A fifth (20%) also say it's the biggest barrier to digital transformation overall.
Organisations need, and desire, more clarity and certainty about what these solutions will deliver. 79% say it is important for enterprise software to have the embedded capability to set and measure critical KPIs. Companies surveyed want KPIs on improving resource utilisation (34%), extending the lifespan of assets (30%), and increasing asset reliability (28%).
The survey also highlighted several other key barriers to the adoption of enterprise software systems across the energy sector. 26% highlighted a lack of clarity about the resources and skills needed and
19% say a poor business case makes adoption look costly. Other reasons include a lack of consensus on priorities across their leadership team – cited by nearly a quarter (24%).
Where companies are now on the digital transformation journey
Only 17% of companies polled for the survey report having completed their digital transformation journeys. Organisations have varying approaches: 65% are approaching it one function at a time, with 18% in total starting with an asset management solution.
The adoption of advanced asset management solutions
More than a third of organisations (37%) list asset management strategies among the digital transformation outcomes that will have the biggest impact on their company – and 74% say it is important an advanced asset management solution gives them improved maintenance, moving from scheduled to predictive asset maintenance, for example. Given the current pressures on the energy sector, tools that help maximise uptime and drive efficiencies through enhanced asset management are key.
When respondents were asked to consider what they want from an asset management solution, improved maintenance is followed in order of importance by scheduling and dispatch (71%), improving supply chain management and reducing inventory costs (70%), mobility (69%) and support for compatible units (69%).
From a digital transformation perspective, 38% see sustainable energy as having the biggest impact on their company followed by new business models and asset management strategy (both 37%).
Emerging technologies to the fore
There is also strong demand for emerging, innovative technologies across the energy sector. 72% highlight data analytics as important; 70% reference virtual assistants and 69% the Internet of Things (IoT). Right now, respondents, (predominantly those which are utilities) are most likely to say their biggest focus for emerging technologies is to improve customer experience (20%). Almost three-in-ten (29%) of utilities are in the design stage of automating customer experience, followed by more than a quarter (26%) that have already automated and are seeing the value.
Carol Johnston, VP Energy, Utilities and Resources, IFS, said: "The research has revealed how energy and utility organisations are held back from moving forwards with digital transformation by the inability to define and measure how they will obtain return on investment from enterprise software. Companies in the energy sector are often very risk averse and are frequently dealing with regulators and other stakeholders that demand proof of RoI. The inability to put a quantifiable number on what they will get for their spend and when is therefore preventing them from progressing."
"These are barriers that more advanced software providers are overcoming, especially through composable platforms that help them to address their biggest pain points incrementally and build measurable RoI steadily over time. Due to the economic and social pressures the industry is under, simply doing nothing is, in contrast, not an option. The good news is that an ever-growing number of organisations understand this today."
The research shows that 57% of oil, gas and utility companies that have digital transformation projects are looking for a composable platform to support the entire journey, while only 38% are going down the niche solutions route.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Julian Love's interception and 27-yard return set up Saquon Barkley's 1-yard touchdown dive with 1:43 to play, and the New York Giants rallied from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Baltimore Ravens 24-20 on Sunday.
New York's defense, led by Baltimore's former coordinator Wink Martindale, forced two turnovers by Lamar Jackson late in the fourth quarter. After Barkley's go-ahead score, rookie Keyvon Thibodeaux sacked Jackson and forced a fumble as the Ravens (3-3) had their third late meltdown this season and handed the Giants (5-1) another surprising victory.
Led by new coach Brian Daboll, the Giants have already exceeded their 2021 win total.
Daniel Jones threw touchdown passes to two rookies: 5 yards to Wan'Dale Robinson and 8 yards to Daniel Bellinger. The second got New York within 20-17 with 6:53 to go.
Kenyan Drake ran for 119 yards, including a 30-yard TD, and Jackson hit Mark Andrews on a 12-yard TD pass early in the fourth quarter for a 20-10 lead.
Baltimore collapsed against Miami in Week 2, allowing four touchdowns in the fourth quarter of a 42-38 loss. The Ravens also blew an early 17-point lead against Buffalo in Week 4, when a late interception by Jackson gave the Bills an opportunity to drive for the game-winning field goal.
The Ravens seemed to have a stranglehold on the game when Jackson had a third-down sneak to the Baltimore 46 for an apparent first down. An illegal formation nullified the play and the shotgun snap on third-and-5 went past Jackson. He picked up the ball deep behind the line of scrimmage, and his desperation pass was intercepted by Love and returned to the 13.
On a third-and 3 from the Baltimore 3, cornerback Marcus Peters was called for pass interference in the end zone, nullifying his interception. Barkley dived over the goal line on the next play.
Jackson appeared to be getting the better of Martindale's defense before the Giants stepped up late, sparked by their first interception of the season.
Justin Tucker kicked two short field goals for Baltimore and Graham Gano added one for New York
Despite outgaining Giants 256 yards to 90 in the opening half, Baltimore led 10-7.
INJURIES
Ravens: RT Morgan Moses left late in the first half with a heel injury and was carted off.
UP NEXT
Ravens: Host AFC North rival Cleveland next Sunday.
Giants: At Jacksonville next Sunday.

Kanye "Ye" West says she's heard the term "crazy" being thrown his way, and he admits that it hurts his feelings.
During part two of the rapper's interview on Fox News' Tucker Carlson Tonight, the rapper addressed those who questioned his mental health amid his controversial stances, such as him wearing a "White Lives Matter" shirt at his Yeezy fashion show in Paris. On top of that, several models wore the controversial shirt during his show's presentation.
"They keep on using the, 'Oh, he's crazy, he's crazy' thing. And it hurts my feelings when people say that," West admitted on the show. "It hurts my feelings that people can ask, 'Hey, are you okay?'"
West also addressed co-parenting with Kardashian, saying he's not willing to "compromise" when it comes to his children's education, as he prefers them to attend the private school he created, Donda Academy.
"All they do is take all the celebs kids and throw them into this same school," said the rapper, referring to the $37,000-per year private school Sierra Canyon. "Right now we've come to a compromise -- but I'm not finished because I don't compromise -- but we've come to a compromise that my kids come to my school after school and they learn choir."
The rapper added that there's already a point of contention with his youngest son, Psalm, over him attending choir practice at Donda Academy.
"I sat there with [Pslam] and he came in and said, 'Why do I have to sing? I don't even go to your school,'" West claimed. "So, imagine a 16-year-old version of that guy, or the 26-year-old version of that guy, where the father doesn't have a say-so of what the kids are watching, what the kids are wearing, what the kids are eating, or who the kids are hanging out with."
West's comments come just days after Khoe Kardashian publicly pleaded with her former brother-in-law to stop tearing down Kim on social media. Khloe made the plea with a comment in a Kanye post, which once again referenced the rapper's allegations that he wasn't allowed to attend his and Kim's daughter Chicago West's fourth birthday party.
"Ye, I love you. I don’t want to do this on social media but YOU keep bringing it here," Khloe commented on the post. "You are the father of my nieces and nephews and I’m trying to be respectful but please STOP tearing Kimberly down and using our family when you want to deflect."
Khloe refuted Kanye's version of events regarding Chicago's birthday, adding, "Again with the birthday narrative. Enough already. We all know the truth and in my opinion, everyone’s tired of it. You know exactly where your children are at all times and YOU wanted separate birthdays. I have seen all of the texts to prove it. And when you changed your mind and wanted to attend, you came."
West reacted by posting a screenshot of Khloe's comment and called her a "liar" in a since-deleted post.

ANN ARBOR, MI — Ann Arbor has officially joined the legal fight for abortion rights in Michigan.
Attorneys for the city and Washtenaw County recently laid out arguments in an amicus brief filed with the Michigan Supreme Court in support of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 1931 abortion ban.
The city and county are not parties in the case, but Chief Justice Bridget Mary McCormack issued an order Sept. 28 to accept their supporting arguments laid out in a 19-page filing.
The constitutionality of the state law criminalizing abortion has been in question since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark case that has had enforcement of Michigan’s ban on hold for nearly 50 years.
Ann Arbor councilwoman remembers when abortion was illegal in Michigan
In a Sept. 23 motion filed with the Michigan Supreme Court, City Attorney Atleen Kaur and private co-counsel Sarah Prescott called the law outdated and said a core part of the city and county’s mission is to promote and provide public resources to improve medical outcomes for citizens and support basic freedoms. As such, they oppose enforcement of the abortion ban, arguing it would undermine the public interest and roll back decades of public policies and investment.
“Studies have consistently shown that freedom of medical decision-making, and in particular, the legalization of abortion, has had a direct impact on women’s achievement in the workforce and on women’s educational attainment,” their brief states. “It has also led to improved family dynamics and decreased dependence on state-funded programs.”
Reducing or eliminating access to abortion would gravely diminish individual freedoms and those achievements, harming women of lesser means and Black women most dramatically, the brief states. As local governments, the city and county have a vested interest in protecting the wellbeing of people from marginalized communities and survivors of intimate-partner violence, who are disproportionately impacted by government mandates limiting how women and their doctors assess reproductive medicine, it further states.
The city and county have invested in programs aimed at closing the gap in public health outcomes for marginalized communities and are combatting the public-health epidemic that is intimate-partner violence, the brief states, arguing enforcing Michigan’s abortion ban would impede those efforts, thwart taxpayer investments and exacerbate dangers.
“To predict whom the Criminal Abortion Ban will mostly target, it is worth considering who has received this reproductive care in the recent past,” it further states. “In 2020, Black women obtained approximately 46% of the state’s induced abortions, despite making up approximately 7% of the female population.”
Lower-income women also would be disproportionately impacted, the brief states, citing national data and arguing inability to obtain an abortion creates long-lasting financial distress.
There also are substantial health risks of being forced to carry a pregnancy to term, up to and including death, the brief states.
“Black women are 2.9 times more likely to experience maternal death than white women,” it states. “The Criminal Abortion Ban will ensure this tragic statistic affects more Black Michiganders, if enforced. One study found that a total abortion ban would cause pregnancy-related deaths to increase 7% in its first year and 21% in subsequent years. Black people, according to the study, would see an even greater increase – up to 33% – in pregnancy-related deaths.”
Ann Arbor still a ‘zone of reproductive freedom’ under city charter
The city and county also would be harmed as employers since enforcing the abortion ban could make it harder to attract and retain skilled employees to come work in a state that denies them the freedom to choose their family structure and to make medical decisions about abortion privately with doctors, they argued, raising additional concerns about the city and county bearing costs related to increased health risks and medical costs of additional employee pregnancies and decreased participation in the workforce by minority women in particular.
“Amici respectfully move the court to permanently enjoin enforcement of the Criminal Abortion Ban for the reasons set forth above,” the brief concludes.
The Supreme Court case could become moot after the Nov. 8 election, Kaur acknowledged.
A statewide proposal on the ballot, if approved by voters, would invalidate the 1931 law and amend the Michigan Constitution to establish a new individual right to reproductive freedom, including the right to make and carry out all decisions about pregnancy, such as abortion. It would allow the state to regulate abortion after fetal viability, but not prohibit it if medically needed to protect a patient’s life or physical or mental health.

TERRY GROSS, HOST:
This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross. A trial is scheduled to begin Monday that is the highest-profile case so far to test whether allies of Donald Trump will be held accountable for spreading falsehoods about the 2020 election. That's how my guest, Jeremy Peters, describes the $1.6 billion defamation suit filed against Fox News by Dominion Voting Systems, which manufactures voting machines that were used in several battleground states in the 2020 presidential election. Dominion claims that Fox's hosts and commentators falsely stated that Dominion was part of a conspiracy to steal votes from Donald Trump with the larger goal of stealing the election. Fox's defense revolves around the First Amendment. This case is likely to impact the future of Fox, other media organizations, First Amendment law and elections. What makes it especially fascinating is the documents that were released as part of the lawsuit's filings, including internal emails and messages which show that many Fox hosts and executives didn't believe the claims of voter fraud that they broadcast on Fox.
Jeremy Peters has been reporting on the case. He covers the media and its intersection with politics, law and culture for The New York Times. He's also the author of the book "Insurgency: How Republicans Lost Their Party And Got Everything They Ever Wanted." We recorded our interview yesterday morning.
Jeremy Peters, welcome to FRESH AIR. Just give us an overview, a brief overview of why this case is so important. What's at stake?
JEREMY PETERS: In the largest sense, it's that very few people have been held to account for the widespread lies that swirled around the 2020 presidential election. No player as significant as Fox News in our political system has been forced to answer for those lies. So you have the first opportunity, I think, for a judgment against the people who spread rampant disinformation and sowed real doubts about the integrity of our electoral system. And then there's the fact that you rarely get a defamation case that proceeds this far along against a media company. Usually, media companies will settle these cases quietly, and you'll never hear about them again. To have an entity as profitable and powerful as Fox face a jury and be forced to answer questions about its conduct is - it's really remarkable. It just doesn't happen.
And it also doesn't happen very often that you have a case where the evidence is so clear and so damning against Fox. Legal experts tell me that rarely have they seen a case this strong. Dominion Voting Systems has amassed tens of thousands of documents, text messages, emails from Fox executives, hosts and producers, many of which show, at a minimum, they had serious doubts about what they were telling their audience. And in some cases they knew it was wrong, but they did so anyway in this relentless drive for ratings and profit.
GROSS: On what grounds is Dominion suing Fox?
PETERS: They are suing for $1.6 billion in damages, claiming that the lies told on the air by Fox guests like Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani and hosts like Lou Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo and Tucker Carlson - that those so damaged the company and so endangered the staff to the point where they were receiving regular death threats and in some cases are still subject to threats. Recently, there was somebody outside the Dominion headquarters in Denver who was carrying a gun. People have called Dominion leaving voicemail messages saying, we're going to blow up your offices. So what Dominion is saying is, effectively, Fox knew that what it was saying about our voting machines was wrong, but it did so anyway. And that's not just textbook defamation, but it's the kind of harm that really kind of cuts at the core of American democracy by undermining people's faith in our elections.
GROSS: Well, just recently, Shasta County, Calif., which is a very conservative county, decided to stop using Dominion voting machines, and it seems like that was influenced by the conspiracy theories. So that would be an example of - a very recent example of Dominion losing clients as a result of these false conspiracy theories.
PETERS: Yes, and that's part of what Dominion will argue if this gets to the damages phase, if the jury in Delaware finds that Fox did act with this legal term called actual malice, which is required to win a defamation case. You have to essentially, if you're Dominion, get inside the heads of Fox employees and be able to prove that they had serious doubts about what they were saying, or that they knew it was false but put it on the air anyway. And because of all of these messages that we have from folks like Tucker Carlson, Rupert Murdoch, Suzanne Scott, the chief executive of Fox News, we can actually do that. We can see inside their minds and see exactly what they were saying to each other and how they had real doubts about what people were saying on their airwaves.
GROSS: Let's hear an example of what people were saying on the Fox airwaves. And this is an interview on Maria Bartiromo's show. She's interviewing Sidney Powell, who was one of the chief purveyors of the conspiracy theory that Dominion was part of a conspiracy to steal the election from Trump. And Powell, as I said, was a legal adviser to Trump. She was a guest several times on Bartiromo's Fox show. And here's an example of what she said while they were talking about Dominion, and Bartiromo speaks first.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
MARIA BARTIROMO: Sidney, we talked about the Dominion software. I know that there were voting irregularities. Tell me about that.
SIDNEY POWELL: That's to put it mildly. The computer glitches could not and should not have happened in - at all. That is where the fraud took place, where they were flipping votes in the computer system or adding votes that did not exist. We need an audit of all of the computer systems that played any role in this fraud whatsoever. And, you know, Joe Biden had it right. He said that he had the biggest voter fraud organization ever and he didn't need people's votes now. He would need people later. They had this all planned, Maria. They had the algorithms. They had the paper ballots waiting to be inserted if and when needed. And notably, President Trump's vote in the blue states went up enormously. That's when they had to stop the vote count and go in and replace votes for Biden and take away Trump votes.
BARTIROMO: I've never seen voting machines stop in the middle of an election, stop down and assess the situation. I also see reports that Nancy Pelosi's longtime chief of staff is a key executive at that company. Richard Blum, Senator Feinstein's husband - significant shareholder of the company. What can you tell us about the interest on the other side of this Dominion software?
POWELL: Well, obviously, they have invested in it for their own reasons and are using it to commit this fraud to steal votes. I think they've even stolen them from other Democrats in their own party who should be outraged about this also. Bernie Sanders might very well have been the Democratic candidate, but they've stolen against whoever they wanted to steal it from.
GROSS: OK, so that was Sidney Powell on Maria Bartiromo's show on Fox News November 8, 2020. So that was just - the election was November 3, so that's just a few days after the election. Can you interpret what she's talking about, for instance, when she says that voting machines were stopped in the middle of an election to assess the situation? Like, what are they talking about?
PETERS: It's so preposterous, Terry. And I think what they're talking about were instances in which some municipalities just stopped counting because it was late, and the vote counters tabulators needed to go home. They also may be referring to this incident that was widely misrepresented and distorted in right-wing media where a county in northern Michigan, the - one of the officials, the elections officials, just made a mistake, and he recorded Biden's totals as Trump's totals and vice versa. They realized that it was a human error. It had nothing to do with Dominion machines. But this became fodder for conspiracy theorists saying, see? Look; these machines can flip votes, and they were taking votes away from President Trump, or they were trying to.
But the Maria Bartiromo instance that you just played on November 8 is the seminal moment in Dominion's case. It is the first time on Fox News where these conspiracy theories about Dominion machines get an airing. It's the first time the audience starts hearing about them. And inside Fox News, what we now know from the discovery in this case is that segment between Sidney and Maria Bartiromo rated so well. In fact, some executives and producers talking about it are just giddy after the fact, saying, did you see the ratings? This stuff is gold. And that's significant legally for Dominion because it allows them to make the case that Fox did act with actual malice because it saw dollar signs in the ratings, and it knew that if it put Sidney Powell on the air, they would get even bigger ratings. So that's what they continued to do after November 8. And that's why we're sitting here today talking about whether or not Rupert Murdoch is going to have to write a check for $1.6 billion.
GROSS: Before we move on from that clip, I just want to fact-check another thing that Sidney Powell said, and this was about Nancy Pelosi and Dianne Feinstein. The Associated Press, the AP, did a fact-check on that and said it's all false. A former aide to Pelosi has represented Dominion as a lobbyist, but so have lobbyists who have worked for Republicans, and claims that Feinstein's husband, Richard Blum, holds a stake in Dominion are baseless. So I just want to get that on the record. So there's something really interesting about who the source was for some of Sidney...
PETERS: Yeah, we should talk about that.
GROSS: Yes, for some of Sidney Powell's claims. And there were signs that she was mentally unstable. Tell us about this source, Marlene Bourne, who claimed to be a tech analyst.
PETERS: So, again, this is a really significant piece of Dominion's case because it shows that they acted recklessly. A jury could conclude after seeing this email from this source that no one reading it would think that this person is credible, and so therefore they shouldn't be relying on it for any of their coverage. And I'll tell you what was in that email. It's truly bonkers. It's a woman by the name of Marlene Bourne, who Sidney Powell had been speaking to. And in this email, she describes to Sidney Powell how she talks to ghosts and listens to the wind, and that she has been "internally decapitated" - that's a direct quote. I don't even know what that means.
GROSS: Me neither.
PETERS: (Laughter) But it's clear as day that a person like that is unreliable, mentally unstable. I think if I had forwarded that email to your producers saying that this was a source for my story, I would never be appearing on FRESH AIR. And - but the reason...
GROSS: Can I add a couple of other things she said?
PETERS: (Laughter) Yes, please.
GROSS: She said she sees what others don't see and hears what others don't hear and that it appears that she was shot in the back after giving the FBI a tip.
PETERS: Right.
GROSS: It appears that she was shot in the back (laughter).
PETERS: Yeah. I mean, it's just nuts. And that's the kind of language that people at Fox started to use to describe Sidney Powell. They called her crazy. They called her nuts. They called her things that I will not repeat on this air. And that, again, points to the doubts that they had about her and shows that, you know, they knew that this was all reckless nonsense.
The question about Maria Bartiromo is interesting in another sense, that she appears to really want to believe this stuff is true. She talks to people like Steve Bannon, and we can see her texts, and they're talking about voter fraud and how the president's lawyers are going to be able to prove all of this stuff, of course, that they never prove. But Maria Bartiromo had in her possession this email from the woman who talks to ghosts. She had seen it. And in her deposition, she recalls reading it at the time. That is evidence that Dominion can present to the jury to say Maria Bartiromo was one of the people at Fox News who acted with reckless disregard for the truth because she could see that Sidney Powell was relying on someone who wasn't reliable at all, but she allowed Sidney Powell to go on the air anyway. And it's very compelling evidence in Dominion's favor.
GROSS: Well, we need to take a break here. If you're just joining us, my guest is Jeremy Peters. He's covering the Dominion defamation suit against Fox News. He covers the media and its intersection with politics, law and culture for The New York Times. We'll be right back after a short break. This is FRESH AIR.
(SOUNDBITE OF AVISHAI COHEN'S "GBEDE TEMIN")
GROSS: This is FRESH AIR. Let's get back to the interview I recorded yesterday with Jeremy Peters, who has been covering the defamation suit filed against Fox News by Dominion Voting Systems. Dominion voting machines were used in several battleground states in the 2020 presidential election. Dominion is alleging that Fox hosts and commentators knowingly made false statements about Dominion being part of a conspiracy to steal votes from Trump and give them to Biden, resulting in stealing the election from Trump. Jeremy Peters is covering the case. He covers the media and its intersection with politics, law and culture for The New York Times.
What is Fox's defense?
PETERS: So Fox is, after this week in court, going to be able to mount a less robust First Amendment defense than it would like to. The judge in this case has now ruled twice that the facts are so uncontested in Dominion's favor that the lies that were spread about Dominion machines supposedly having these software backdoors that allowed people to switch votes from one candidate to the other if they wanted to, that kind of stuff is just - it's so wild and fanciful and wrong that the jury isn't even going to have to consider whether or not - and this is called - legally, it's called falsity. Falsity is off the table. So Dominion's lawyers now have a much easier job. They don't have to convince a jury that this stuff is nonsense. The judge has already said that it is.
Fox wanted to be able to argue that Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani, these folks who came on the air and said untrue things about Dominion, they were newsmakers and what they were saying was inherently newsworthy because they were representatives of the president of the United States. Well, the judge has now said that Fox can't argue that because, you know, these statements were demonstrably false. So what's left for Fox News to argue before the jury now is that its hosts and guests didn't act with actual malice. It's going to try to point to evidence that showed some people inside Fox News were waiting for the evidence. So they put this stuff on the air because they were under the assumption - because the president's lawyers had told them so - that they had the proof to back this up in court. They had affidavits. And so Fox's lawyers will be able to say that shows they weren't acting with actual malice. They preliminarily provided the audience with a set of facts that they believed the president would be able to prove in court.
Now, of course, that never happened. And, you know, a jury could buy that. You know, I don't want to make it sound like Dominion's case is a total slam dunk, as strong as it is. It depends on who's on the jury. And really, it only takes one, two, you know, very, you know, Trump-leaning jurors to throw a whole wrench in this for Dominion.
GROSS: One of the cases that Fox wanted to make was, hey, we were just covering the news. These stories were in the news. We were covering them. But the judge already knocked down that argument.
PETERS: Yes. And that really limits Fox's ability to mount the kind of legal defense that it wanted to mount. In court before the judge, in their legal proceedings, in interviews with me, Fox's lawyers said that their hosts were simply doing their job as people who interviewed newsmakers. And what was more newsworthy than the president's lawyers arguing that the presidential election wasn't free or fair? OK. That sounds like a pretty decent argument. But as recently as this week, the judge in the case admonished Fox lawyers, saying they cannot broach that subject, and if they do, he will cut them off and tell the jury, no, that is incorrect.
GROSS: Is it unusual for a judge before the actual trial to say these kinds of arguments are out of bounds, I won't accept them?
PETERS: So lawyers in cases like this go back and forth about what the jury will be allowed to hear. That's pretty standard. What's not very common is what happened to Fox when the judge issued what's called his summary judgment ruling. And that's when he basically said Dominion doesn't have to argue half of its case to the jury because I'm settling that question right now. These statements about Dominion were false. That's not up for debate. The only question the jury has to decide now is whether or not Fox acted with actual malice.
Another thing the judge took off the table that was a big piece of Fox's argument - and, you know, this is also going to be very difficult for them at trial - is all along, you know, Fox News has been an opinion network that had a rather robust news staff. And in the days of its former chief executive, Roger Ailes, they would point to that news staff, its White House correspondents, its congressional correspondents, its Vatican correspondent, and say, see, what's said on the air in primetime by people like Hannity is just part of what we do. We have all of these honest journalists who work for us and do a pretty good job.
Well, Fox tried to argue that its 2020 election coverage included many fact checks and many reports stating that these allegations about Dominion machines were unfounded. And that's true. On many shows, hosts like Dana Perino, a former White House press secretary for George W. Bush, they were very skeptical of this. And they were very upfront with the audience. But the jury's not going to be able to hear that because the judge has said it doesn't matter. You can't tell your audience lies in one hour and put someone on in another hour saying that they are lies and get away with it. That doesn't absolve you.
GROSS: Well, we need to take another break here. So let me reintroduce you. My guest is Jeremy Peters. He's a reporter for The New York Times who covers the intersection of media, politics, culture and law. And we're going to talk more about the defamation lawsuit filed against Fox News by Dominion Voting Systems after we take a short break. I'm Terry Gross, and this is FRESH AIR.
(SOUNDBITE OF FRANK ZAPPA'S "EAT THAT QUESTION")
GROSS: This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross. Let's get back to the interview I recorded yesterday with Jeremy Peters, who's been covering the defamation lawsuit filed against Fox News by Dominion Voting Systems, whose voting machines were used in some battleground states in the 2020 presidential election. Jeremy Peters has been covering the lawsuit. It goes to trial Monday. Dominion is alleging that Fox hosts and commentators knowingly made false statements about Dominion being part of a conspiracy to steal votes from Trump and give them to Biden, resulting in stealing the election from Trump.
Another argument Fox has made is it was commentators who were making these statements, not news. So they've kind of argued both sides, that we were just covering the news. But they've also argued, no, no, it was commentators, not reporters, who were making these claims.
PETERS: Yes, that's part of their First Amendment defense. They have tried to say that, look, you know, what Tucker Carlson was saying is protected commentary. What Sean Hannity was saying - you know, same thing. The First Amendment allows hosts to offer their opinions about significant news events. We'll see how that goes over with the jury because, of course, there's now reams of evidence that folks like Tucker Carlson didn't believe a word of what people like Sidney Powell said. That's - same thing that Sean Hannity has acknowledged in his deposition. A direct quote - he says, "I didn't believe it for one second," referring to what Sidney Powell was saying. Yet he allows her - gives her a platform on his radio show, then later that night on his Fox News show, where she continues to spread lies about Dominion machines.
So that type of evidence, you know, that we - it's so rare, and I can't emphasize this enough. Like, the evidence in this case - it's just - you don't get evidence like this in a defamation case that shows so clearly that there were many people in positions of power who had serious doubts about what they were reporting on the air. And that is incredibly legally significant and to Dominion's benefit.
GROSS: One of the reporters on Fox reported on a press conference held by Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, two of Trump's legal advisers, and they were talking about conspiracies to steal the election from Trump. She reported on the press conference and fact-checked it and showed that the conspiracy theories being floated were factually wrong. What consequences did she face for that report?
PETERS: Her name is Kristin Fisher. She no longer works at Fox. She left the network in large part because of this incident. After she fact-checked that press conference on the air, she received an angry phone call from her boss, who said, you need to do a better job of respecting our audience. And this is a sentiment that had been conveyed to her boss by the chief executive of Fox News, who, at this point in November of 2020, was looking at the ratings decline Fox had been suffering and the ratings gains that competitors like Newsmax had been enjoying because they were more overtly pro-Trump. And Suzanne Scott panicked. Rupert Murdoch panicked. And they basically shut down an honest discussion of what really happened in the 2020 presidential election. And the way they do that is by telling their correspondents, effectively, only tell our audience what they want to hear, and they don't want to hear that President Trump has lost.
GROSS: So part of what makes this case so important and fascinating is the texts and emails and the depositions that have been made public, and we know now that what Fox hosts and commentators said in public on the air about Trump and about the conspiracies to steal the election are very different from what they said in private to their fellow colleagues.
So let's start with Tucker Carlson. He's been a big defender of Trump on the air. But in private messages, he called Trump a demonic force, a destroyer - this was in a text with his producer - and he privately called Powell a nut. He said, I tried to make the White House disavow her, which they obviously should have done long before. He ridiculed claims about the plot to steal the election as shockingly reckless and absurd in a text message in November of 2020. So what are some of the things he did on the air that are counter to what he said in private to colleagues?
PETERS: Yes, Tucker Carlson even told - that text message you just referred to is a text message he sent to Sidney Powell telling her, you know, show us the evidence. And at one point in November 2020, Tucker goes on his show and he says, look, Sidney Powell promised us this evidence. She hasn't given it to us, and this raises real doubts about her credibility and her story. The blowback from the audience at hearing that truth from Tucker Carlson - because he - at the time, he was telling his audience the truth - they didn't want to hear it.
The backlash was so intense, Tucker Carlson drops the subject, and you see text messages, both predating this Sidney Powell incident and after, in which his producers are saying, you know, our audience wants to hear about voter fraud and we're not covering it. And they express their serious misgivings about the whole notion that the election was somehow tainted. They say openly, there just wasn't enough fraud to have changed the outcome. This stuff makes me sick. And while this case raises a lot of really big questions about our democratic system and our news media and the susceptibility that people have to disinformation and the willingness of bad actors to profit from that disinformation, the case is ultimately going to turn on very small incidents.
GROSS: Another thing about Tucker Carlson - and he also trades emails with his producers in January. There's one that you mentioned from January 4 in which he said, we're very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can't wait. I hate him passionately. And then on January 7 - so this is the day after the attack on the Capitol - Tucker Carlson's producer wrote about his fears of more chaos and said, the Trump anger spiral is vicious. And Carlson responded, that's for sure - deadly. We've got two weeks left. We can do this - meaning two weeks until Trump is out of office and Biden becomes president. We've only got two weeks left. We can do this. So not only do what he and guests said on his show contradict those private messages, he got exclusive access to, like - what? - thousands of hours of video from January 6 and reedited it in a way to make it seem like these were kind of quiet tourists. They were, like, acting like quiet tourists passing through the White House.
PETERS: Right.
GROSS: These are the rioters who broke into the Capitol. How does anybody square that? I don't know that that's relevant to the actual, to the defamation lawsuit. But what does it say about Tucker Carlson and Fox?
PETERS: It says that Tucker Carlson is completely disingenuous when it comes to the type of commentary he provides his audience. He tells them what he thinks they want to hear, even if he doesn't believe that. I mean, as recently as this week, Terry, Tucker Carlson interviewed Donald Trump and tells his audience, quote, "for a man who is caricatured as an extremist, we think you will find what he has to say moderate, sensible and wise." Now, this is someone who Tucker has called a demonic force, a destroyer, somebody he expresses clear contempt for.
And he's telling his audience now that this former president is moderate, sensible and wise. It just doesn't track. And I think - you know, I don't want to be too cynical about this. But I really don't think there's any other way to see that other than he thinks his audience isn't ever going to know what he said about Trump privately because we all live in such siloed media worlds. The Tucker Carlson audience is only being presented with the news that his producers and he think they want to hear.
GROSS: Well, we need to take another break here. If you're just joining us, my guest is Jeremy Peters. He's covering the Dominion defamation suit against Fox News. He covers the media and its intersection with politics, law and culture for The New York Times. We'll be right back after a short break. This is FRESH AIR.
(SOUNDBITE OF SLOWBERN'S "WHEN WAR WAS KING")
GROSS: This is FRESH AIR. Let's get back to the interview I recorded yesterday with Jeremy Peters, who has been covering the defamation suit filed against Fox News by Dominion Voting Systems. Dominion voting machines were used in several battleground states in the 2020 presidential election. Dominion is alleging that Fox hosts and commentators knowingly made false statements about Dominion being part of a conspiracy to steal votes from Trump and give them to Biden, resulting in stealing the election from Trump. Jeremy Peters is covering the case. He covers the media and its intersection with politics, law and culture for The New York Times.
So I just want to get to one more thing about Sidney Powell. Lou Dobbs was one of the big purveyors of the conspiracy theory on Fox News. He hosted his own show on Fox Business News. And Dobbs' producer said that he believed that Sidney Powell, one of Trump's legal advisers, was, quote, "doing LSD and cocaine and heroin and shrooms."
PETERS: (Laughter).
GROSS: A strong expression of skepticism. Yet when Lou Dobbs had Powell on his show a few days after that message, he described Sidney Powell as one of the country's leading appellate attorneys, which is surely not true. So of course, the question is, if people inside FOX - some executives, hosts - didn't believe the conspiracy theories, why were they broadcasting them? And the answer has to do with ratings. Tell us about how ratings and the fear of losing viewers to even more conservative networks like Newsmax and OAN - One America News Network - how that figured into their programming plan.
PETERS: So one thing that's always been true about Fox News is that after a Republican loses the White House, its ratings dip. I mean, this happened in 2008 after Obama won election. It happened in 2012 after he won reelection. But every time that happened, the ratings would tick back up a few weeks or months later because Fox could firmly establish itself as the voice of the opposition to the Democratic president in the White House. And of course, Obama was a very effective and profitable foil for Fox News and their negative coverage of him. And, you know, frankly, their endorsement of certain conspiracy theories about his background and his religion were huge for the audience, not just huge for the audience, but huge for certain very important viewers like Donald Trump himself, who learned about many of the conspiracy theories he would later float about Obama from watching Fox News and other conservative media.
So fast-forward to 2020, when the audience turns on Fox because they're upset that Fox has told them the truth, that Donald Trump did not win reelection and that Joe Biden is the president-elect. Trump goes after Fox directly. Viewers switch the channel. They start watching Newsmax. And people like Rupert Murdoch at the very top of the company see this, and they panic. In one email, he writes to Suzanne Scott right after the election is called for Biden, subject line is ratings. And he says to her, quote, "getting creamed by CNN." Guess our viewers don't want to watch it. And that sets in motion this more widespread panic inside Fox News at its executive level. And they really start to begin to worry about this little competitor that had never really drawn big ratings before, Newsmax, because Newsmax is - the hosts there are willing to lean into the conspiracy theories about voter fraud much harder than Fox initially was.
And that's when, as Dominion has laid out in its case, you see this moment where Suzanne Scott tells her lieutenants at the network, we need to respect our audience. And that's basically code for we can't tell them anything that they'll find upsetting because they're changing the channel.
GROSS: Well, getting back to Rupert Murdoch and what he said behind the scenes. In an email, he said - and this was after January 6 - he said Trump insisting the election being stolen and convincing 25% of Americans was a huge disservice to the country, pretty much a crime, inevitable it blew up on January 6. Best we don't mention his name unless essential, and certainly don't support him. We have to respect people of principle. And if it comes to the Senate, don't take sides. I know he's being over demonized, but he brought it on himself. That seems like evidence - right? - to be used in the defamation case.
PETERS: And it is. It's something that Dominion cited in its presentation to the judge when they were arguing the summary judgment phase of the case. It's definitely something I expect to come up at trial, especially when they put Rupert Murdoch on the stand.
GROSS: Well, let's take another break here. If you're just joining us, my guest is Jeremy Peters, who's covering the Dominion defamation lawsuit against Fox News for The New York Times. Peters covers media and its intersection with politics, law and culture for the Times. We'll be right back after a short break. This is FRESH AIR.
(SOUNDBITE OF HOLT VAUGHN'S "BITTER SUITE")
GROSS: This is FRESH AIR. Let's get back to the interview I recorded yesterday with Jeremy Peters, who's covering the defamation lawsuit filed against Fox News by Dominion Voting Systems. He's covering it for The New York Times, where he covers the intersection of media with politics, law and culture.
One of the things that happened really recently is that Dominion went to the judge and said, we want access to more of Rupert Murdoch's private messages, because when - during the period of disclosure, we didn't realize how big a role Murdoch played in Fox News and in deciding what was going to be covered and how it was going to be covered. Tell us about this recent development.
PETERS: So this is something to watch over the next few weeks as the trial progresses. Fox initially tried to downplay the role that not just Rupert Murdoch has, but that Lachlan Murdoch has in running Fox News. They long insisted that the Murdochs were too busy with big-picture stuff to get involved in Fox day-to-day. We now know that Murdoch is so involved, he's even suggesting certain guests that should appear on Fox News. So, you know, we may yet see more detail about just how involved he was in steering coverage on the network after the 2020 election.
GROSS: So what might the consequences be for Fox News if it loses this defamation suit?
PETERS: I think at this point, the realization has set in at Fox that they are quite likely to lose, or at the very least, they shouldn't be surprised if they lose. So they are looking already at how they would appeal this. And I think in their world, getting this kind of case on appeal to the Supreme Court, where the Supreme Court could reopen defamation law, is what they're thinking. Many conservatives have been pushing the Supreme Court to do just that. We'll see if that happens. But I think if they lose, most immediately, what it says is that one of the most powerful media organizations in the country has to pay for the dishonest way it covered our democracy.
GROSS: And you mean literally pay...
PETERS: Literally pay.
GROSS: ...Like with money? Yeah.
PETERS: You know, I think the questions of what that means for Trump, his base and the larger conservative media ecosystem are much more complicated because I just honestly don't know how - I mean, we know they're not really covering it, this trial, very much on the right. And I don't know that those kinds of lessons of accountability will sink in with the average conservative.
GROSS: So I think you mentioned this earlier, but some First Amendment lawyers who always defend the media against defamation are siding with Dominion against Fox. What are their concerns in this case?
PETERS: Their concern - their concerns revolve around this push from many on the right - mostly, it comes from the right - to revisit defamation law in this seminal case, New York Times v. Sullivan, that established the actual malice standard, which - it's a very high legal bar. If you sue an entity like Fox News for defamation and you're a public figure, you have to prove that Fox News knew what it was saying was false or acted so recklessly that it overlooked obvious truths. And because that's such a high bar. Many conservatives have been saying, we want the Supreme Court to reopen this and rethink whether that bar needs to be lowered. And if Dominion wins this case, it in a sense will show that defamation law is working, at least that's how some of these First Amendment scholars will see it. I imagine some conservatives and certainly Fox News will see it differently. But it could kind of short circuit this effort from the right to reopen defamation law.
GROSS: Well, do the First Amendment lawyers who are siding with Dominion also not want the First Amendment to protect baseless conspiracy theories and not protect media that promotes baseless conspiracy theories?
PETERS: Right. They think exactly that, that a judgment against Fox will demonstrate that the law is what the law is, that the First Amendment doesn't protect lies, that you can't defame somebody and call it constitutionally protected speech.
GROSS: Or call it news.
PETERS: Or call it news.
GROSS: Well, Jeremy Peters, thank you so much for talking with us. I really look forward to your coverage of the defamation trial. Thank you for being here today.
PETERS: Oh, thank you for having me back, Terry.
GROSS: Jeremy Peters is a New York Times reporter. He's covering the Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit against Fox News. After we recorded our interview yesterday morning, some surprising revelations emerged during the second day of the pretrial hearing. As Jeremy Peters and Katie Robertson reported later in the day in The New York Times, the judge overseeing Dominion's lawsuit against Fox News said that he was imposing a sanction on the network and would very likely start an investigation into whether Fox's legal team had deliberately withheld evidence. The evidence included recordings of the Fox News host Maria Bartiromo pre-interviewing Trump's legal advisers, Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani, which Dominion said had been turned over only a week ago.
In the tape of Giuliani, he admits he had no hard evidence to back up his claim that Dominion voting machine software could be manipulated. The judge also said he might appoint a special master to investigate Fox's handling of documents during the discovery process. It was only made clear yesterday that in addition to being the chair of Fox Corporation, the parent company of Fox News, Rupert Murdoch is also an executive at Fox News. Had Murdoch's role at Fox News been disclosed, Dominion would have had access to more of Murdoch's documents as part of the discovery process. The judge said that if Dominion had to do additional depositions or redo any, then Fox would have to do everything they can to make the person available, and it will be at a cost to Fox.

By TRÂN NGUYỄN and OLGA R. RODRIGUEZ (Associated Press)
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Officials were investigating Tuesday whether Florida’s Gov. Ron DeSantis was behind a flight that picked up asylum-seekers on the Texas border and flew them — apparently without their knowledge — to California’s capital, even as faith-based groups scrambled to find housing and food for them.
About 20 people ranging in age from 21 to 30 were flown by private jet to Sacramento on Monday, California Attorney General Rob Bonta said. It was the second such flight in four days.
Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg and faith-based groups who have been assisting the migrants scheduled a news conference for Tuesday morning.
Meanwhile, California Gov. Gavin Newsom lashed out at DeSantis on Twitter, calling him a “small, pathetic man” and suggesting that his state could pursue kidnapping charges.
DeSantis and other Florida officials have remained mum, as they initially were last year when they flew 49 Venezuelan migrants to the upscale Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard, luring them onto private jets from a shelter in San Antonio. The governor didn’t mention the flights during a Tuesday bill-signing ceremony, and his administration hasn’t provided information on the flights despite multiple requests from The Associated Press.
DeSantis, who is seeking the Republican nomination to run for president, has been a fierce critic of federal immigration policy under President Joe Biden and has heavily publicized Florida’s role in past instances in which migrants were transported to Democratic-led states.
He has made the migrant relocation program one of his signature political priorities, using the state legislative process to direct millions of dollars to it and working with multiple contractors to carry out the flights.
Vertol Systems Co., which was paid by Florida to fly migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, appears to be behind the flights to Sacramento on Monday and last Friday, Bonta said, adding that the migrants were carrying “an official document from the state of Florida” that mentions the company. The company didn’t respond to an email seeking comment.
Altogether, more than three dozen migrants arrived in Sacramento on the flights Friday and Monday. Most are from Colombia and Venezuela. California had not been their intended destination and shelters and aid workers were taken by surprise, authorities said.
Friday’s group was dropped off at the Roman Catholic Church diocese’s headquarters in Sacramento. U.S. immigration officials had already processed them in Texas and given them court dates for their asylum cases, and none had planned to arrive in California, said Eddie Carmona, campaign director at PICO California, a faith-based group helping the migrants in Sacramento.
Asylum seekers can change the location of their court appearances, but many are reluctant to try and instead prefer sticking with a firm date, at least for their initial appearances. They figure it is a guarantee, even if horribly inconvenient.
The Republican governors of Texas and Arizona have previously sent thousands of migrants on buses to New York, Chicago and Washington, D.C., but the rare charter flights by DeSantis mark an escalation in tactics. The two groups sent to Sacramento never went through Florida. Instead, they were approached in El Paso, Texas, by people with Florida-linked paperwork, sent to New Mexico, then put on private flights to California’s capital, California officials and advocates said.
Bonta, who met with some of the migrants who arrived Friday, said they told him they were approached by two women who spoke broken Spanish and promised them jobs. The women traveled with them by land from El Paso to Deming, New Mexico, where two men then accompanied them on the flight to Sacramento. The same men were on the flight Monday, Bonta said.
“To see leaders and governments of other states and the state of Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis, acting with cruelty and inhumanity and moral bankruptcy and being petty and small and hurtful and harmful to those vulnerable asylum seekers is blood-boiling,” Bonta said in a Monday interview.
Some of the migrants who arrived Friday told Bonta they met on their nearly three-month journey to the United States and decided to stick together to keep each other safe as they slept on the streets in several countries, he said.
As the migrants arrived in California Monday, a Texas sheriff’s office announced it had recommended criminal charges over the two flights to Martha’s Vineyard last year.
Johnny Garcia, a spokesman for the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office, said the office is not naming suspects at this time. It’s not clear whether the local district attorney will pursue the charges, which include misdemeanor and felony counts of unlawful restraint, according to the sheriff’s office.
The office of New Mexico Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham had no specifics as to why the immigrants were taken from Texas to New Mexico before being flown to California.
“Gov. Lujan Grisham stresses, yet again, the urgent need for comprehensive, thoughtful federal immigration reform which is rooted in a humanitarian response that keeps border communities in mind,” the governor’s spokesperson, Caroline Sweeney, said Monday.
Last year, DeSantis directed Republican lawmakers in Florida to create a program in his office dedicated to migrant relocations. It specified that the state could transport migrants from locations anywhere in the country. The law was designed to get around questions about the legality of transporting people on a flight that originated in Texas.
Florida’s alleged role in the arrival of the two groups in Sacramento is sure to escalate the political feud between DeSantis and Newsom, who have offered conflicting visions on immigration, abortion and a host of other issues. ___

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said Monday he tested positive for COVID-19 for the first time after returning home from work trips in Africa and Asia.
Due to his age, the 71-year-old said he was prescribed the Paxlovid antiviral medication.
“I tested positive for COVID-19 for the first time this morning,” Lee said on Facebook, where he posted a photo of a positive antigen rapid test. “I am generally feeling ok, but my doctors have advised me to self-isolate until I am asymptomatic.”
Lee was on an official visit to South Africa from May 14 to 16, and Kenya from May 17 to 19. He also attended the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit in Indonesia from May 10 to 11.
Lee said his last COVID-19 vaccine booster was in November. He urged Singaporeans to keep their vaccinations up to date to reduce the risk of severe illness.
Health Minister Ong Ye Kung was reported by local media as saying recently in Parliament that fewer seniors were keeping up with their COVID-19 shots. He warned this could weaken the population’s resistance against COVID-19 over time and make the nation vulnerable to the virus again.

Ferrari plans to complete construction next June of an additional plant at its Maranello headquarters to build its first electric vehicle, CEO Benedetto Vigna said on Monday during an investor conference organized by Bloomberg.
Referred to as the “e-building,” the plant will build future EVs from the brand, in addition to models containing internal-combustion engines, Vigna said. The plant will also build components for electrified vehicles, including motors, inverters, and batteries.
Though the plant will be ready next year, volume production of Ferrari’s first EV isn’t planned until 2026. The EV, thought to be an SUV, is only scheduled to debut in the fourth quarter of 2025, Vigna said.
In addition to EVs, Ferrari also plans more plug-in hybrid models in its quest to reduce emissions. Vigna in 2022 said Ferrari has a goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2030. Other specific targets he mentioned at that time included growing sales of electrified models to 60% by 2026 and 80% by 2030—with that 80% split evenly between EVs and hybrids.
As it does with its internal-combustion powertrains, Ferrari plans to develop its own electric motors, inverters, and batteries and will target industry-leading figures for weight and power density. The automaker will work with partners in some areas, though, particularly when it comes to advanced battery technology, like solid-state batteries, which Vigna has previously said Ferrari is exploring.
Ferrari is known to also be exploring the use of sound generators to make EVs more enticing. One of the most biggest allures of a Ferrari is the sound of its engine, and the company clearly won’t want to lose this trait when it rolls out EVs. Recent patents have shown Ferrari is looking at a system that works by measuring the resonance frequencies of key powertrain components like the motor and transmission, and then amplifying this to deliver a somewhat authentic sound.
Ferrari in 2022 earmarked approximately $4.6 billion to fund all of these undertakings, with most of the funds to be spent on product development.

Autopsy: Parents, kids in burning Oklahoma home were shot
TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Preliminary autopsy reports show eight members of an Oklahoma family found dead inside their burning home were each shot.
The bodies of Brian Nelson, 34, his wife Brittney Nelson, 32, and their six children were found in October inside the flaming home in Broken Arrow, a Tulsa suburb. Police at the time called it a murder-suicide.
Authorities say all six children — Brian II, 13; Brantley, 9; Vegeta, 7; Ragnar, 5; Kurgan, 2; and Britannica, 1 — were found in a burning bedroom, while their parents were found in the front of the home.
The autopsy report says Brian and Brittney Nelson each suffered a gunshot wound to the head and lists the manner of death as unknown.
Four of the slain children had multiple gunshot wounds, with the eldest child, Brian Nelson II, suffering at least six.
Each child also suffered burns to their bodies, but the manner of death for each of the six is listed as homicide due to gunshot wounds.
“Broken Arrow police investigators have reviewed the medical examiner’s reports in reference to the incident we reported as an octuple murder-suicide,” the police department said in a statement Monday.
“We have no additional information to provide the public at this time regarding this incident,” according to the statement.
Family members previously told the Tulsa World the couple was experiencing financial difficulties.
The newspaper reported Brian and Brittney Nelson had filed for bankruptcy in 2020, listing nearly $138,000 in liabilities and about $8,800 in assets, including nine guns.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tommy Fleetwood has shot 63 in the final round of the U.S. Open for the second time in five years.
Fleetwood missed a 7-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole Sunday that would have given him a 62 and a share of this tournament’s new single-round record. Rickie Fowler and Xander Schauffele both shot 62 on Thursday at Los Angeles Country Club.
Still, the 32-year-old Englishman is part of an exclusive group. He became the fourth player with multiple rounds of 63 in major championships, joining Greg Norman (1986 U.S. Open and 1996 Masters), Vijay Singh (1993 PGA Championship and 2003 U.S. Open) and Brooks Koepka, who did it in both the 2018 and 2019 PGA Championships.
Fleetwood surged up the leaderboard with his sizzling final round, finishing at 5-under 275.
“Sunday, you want to get the best out of it that you can, and I just happened to be playing really well and got momentum on my side,” Fleetwood said. “I hit some amazing golf shots.”
He had a remarkably similar Sunday in the final round in 2018 at Shinnecock Hills, where he became the sixth player in U.S. Open history to shoot 63, matching the tournament record at the time.
Fleetwood missed an 8-foot putt on the final hole at Shinnecock that would have resulted in the first 62 in U.S. Open history and ultimately a two-hole playoff with winner Koepka.
“I just need to be higher up the leaderboard coming into Sunday and then have another day like today,” Fleetwood said. “It’s a nice little piece of history, of course it is. And you can be disappointed with what I didn’t get out of today, but I think having something like that and shooting multiple 63s in a major … where you can put it in the memory bank and know that you can get rounds going and your game can stand up on a major golf course and shoot low scores is really nice to have.”
Fleetwood began the final round in Los Angeles 12 shots back at 2 over, and he teed off nearly four hours before co-leaders Fowler and Wyndham Clark. In pleasant conditions under a heavy marine layer, Fleetwood barely missed a 5-foot birdie putt on the first hole, but then made an early birdie and eagled the par-4 sixth by putting his 286-yard tee shot within 6 feet.
Fleetwood made three birdies in four holes around the turn before making an eagle on the par-5 14th, hitting his second shot 276 yards onto the green and holing a 20-foot putt. He only slowed down when he bogeyed the par-4 16th, sending his tee shot into a fairway bunker and leaving a 24-foot par putt 2 inches short.
His 210-yard approach shot on 18 was superb, but his birdie putt rolled past the hole on the right.
Fleetwood said he “never really felt in contention” Sunday in Los Angeles.
“I think that was one of the differences between today and Shinnecock, really,” he added. “Shinnecock, as soon as I got midway through the back nine, I was in with a chance. So I had a longer period where I was trying to win a major, whereas today it was just about shoot the best score you can, and I was enjoying it and trusting my game.”
In other ways, Fleetwood’s round echoed his effort in 2018. Playing on generous Shinnecock greens that had been watered overnight after they were too dry on Saturday, Fleetwood made a 56-foot putt on the second hole and ultimately posted a round so impressive that he finished just one stroke behind Koepka after beginning the day six shots off the lead.
Nobody else in the LACC field tore up the North course as impressively as Fleetwood on Sunday, although Austin Eckroat shot 65.
Fleetwood has never won on the PGA Tour, but he has posted top-five finishes in three of the four majors, including a distant second place behind Shane Lowry at the 2019 British Open.
Fleetwood’s 63 at LACC was too late to win, but it probably made him a big chunk of change. The top 19 finishers at the U.S. Open get more than $250,000, with the top nine getting more than $500,000. The finish also will help him move up in the European Ryder Cup standings.

The House is set to vote on a revamped resolution to censure Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Wednesday after the chamber blocked a similar measure targeting the California Democrat last week.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) called the revised measure to the floor as a privileged resolution on Tuesday, which forces the House to take action on the measure. Democrats are expected to make a procedural motion to table the measure when it comes to the floor for a vote on Wednesday, which would require majority support.
The move from Luna comes after the House blocked her initial Schiff censure resolution last week. Twenty Republicans joined Democrats in supporting a motion to table the measure which was enough to block the resolution from coming to the floor for a vote, effectively killing it.
Luna, however, made a number of changes to the resolution from last week to this week, and she said she now has enough votes for the measure to be approved.
“I have spoken to many of my colleagues,” Luna said in a statement on Tuesday. “A majority of the 20 will be changing their vote to support the motion, as well as other Members who were not in town for the initial vote have let me/my office know they will be voting with us.”
At least three of those GOP defectors have publicly said they will support the new censure resolution. Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told reporters earlier in the day that he expects the revised resolution to pass the House.
Of the changes made between this week’s and last week’s resolutions was nixing a non-binding “whereas” clause that said if the Ethics Committee found that Schiff “lied, made misrepresentations, and abused sensitive information,” he should be fined $16 million. That dollar figure, according to Luna, was half the amount of money that American taxpayers paid toward the investigation into potential collusion between Trump and Russia.
According to the Justice Department, the investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller cost $32 million.
Some of the GOP defectors raised concerns with that portion of the resolution — arguing that it was unconstitutional — leading them to oppose it. But once Luna said she would take the clause out of the resolution, a number of the Republican opposers relented in their opposition.
“Thank you for fixing your bill for next week,” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who voiced concerns with the fine, wrote on Twitter last week.
Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), who voted against last week’s censure resolution out of opposition to the fine, signed on as a co-sponsor of the new version.
Additionally, the new resolution just calls for censuring Schiff while last week’s involved censuring and condemning the congressman. The new version also omitted non-binding “whereas” clauses that says Schiff “purposely deceived his Committee, Congress, and the American people” and that he “exploited” his positions on the House Intelligence Committee “to encourage and excuse abusive intelligence investigations of Americans for political purposes.”
The revamped resolution, however, adds a number of non-binding “whereas” clauses: it cites a March 2019 letter signed by Republicans on the Intelligence panel calling on Schiff — the then chairman of the committee — to resign from the top post, argues that Schiff “hindered the ability of the Intelligence Committee to fulfill its oversight responsibilities over the Intelligence Community,” and says he “misled the American people and brought disrepute upon the House of Representatives.”
Rep. Marc Molinaro (N.Y.), one of last week’s GOP “no” votes, announced last week that he will support the new resolution.
“I respect the Constitution and the oath we take to it. These revisions address my concerns and I will vote to hold Rep. Schiff accountable,” he wrote on Twitter.
Schiff — who is currently running for Senate — continued to brush aside the censure effort on Tuesday, arguing that Republicans were going after him to distract from the legal troubles surrounding former President Trump.
“But to waste the floor’s time on this false and defamatory resolution is a disservice to the country,” he told reporters. “It detracts from the time that we have to deal with homelessness and we have to deal with the opioid crisis and 100 other challenges, but it just shows how Kevin McCarthy’s completely lost control of the crazies in his conference who are running the place.”
The California Democrat said being censured would be “a badge of honor.”
“With this crowd it’s a badge of honor,” he said when asked about how he feels about the prospect of being censured, which would require him to stand in the well of the House chamber to receive a rebuke.
“I’m proud to have stood up to Trump and defended our democracy and I will continue to do so no matter what they throw my way. But this is the authors of the big lie attacking me for telling the truth. And history will judge them to have failed to have the courage to stand up to a corrupt president but consoled themselves by attacking someone who did,” he added.
Luna’s resolution to censure Schiff is part of a long-running GOP campaign against Schiff, who emerged as a bogeyman on the right after years of leading efforts against Trump while he was in the White House. The California Democrat led Trump’s first impeachment inquiry as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, and he frequently accused Trump of colluding with Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign.
McCarthy blocked Schiff and his California colleague, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D), from serving on the Intelligence panel earlier this year. And Luna previously filed a resolution to expel Schiff from the House.

LANGLEY, Wash. (AP) — The U.S. Coast Guard was continuing to search Monday for nine people, including a child, who were missing after a floatplane crashed in the waters of Puget Sound northwest of Seattle.
The body of a 10th person was recovered by a good Samaritan on Sunday after the crash was reported at 3:11 p.m., Coast Guard spokesperson William Colclough said Monday.
The Northwest Seaplanes flight left Friday Harbor, a popular tourist destination in the San Juan Islands, and was headed to Renton Municipal Airport, the company’s base, Colclough said.
The plane went down in Mutiny Bay off Whidbey Island, roughly 30 miles (50 kilometers) northwest of downtown Seattle and about halfway between Friday Harbor and Renton, a suburb south of Seattle.
The National Transportation Safety Board said Monday that they’re sending a team of seven to investigate the crash of the DHC-3 Turbine Otter.
The cause of the crash is unknown, authorities said.
Jon Gabelein of South Whidbey Fire/EMS told KOMO witnesses on the shore reported seeing the plane “nose dive into the water.”
Four Coast Guard vessels, a rescue helicopter and an aircraft were involved in the extensive search, along with nearby rescue and law enforcement agencies.
The Coast Guard said crews searched throughout the night, “but no additional individuals were recovered and no debris spotted. Coast Guard aircraft are beginning a search this morning. This remains an active search.”
Northwest Seaplanes is a family owned business founded by Clyde Carlson, according to the company’s website. It has 24-years of “accident and incident free flying,” the website said.
A woman who answered the phone early Monday said they’re waiting to learn more and are devastated by the crash.
“It’s a small crew. Everyone’s close,” said the woman, who would only give her first name, Michelle. She declined to say more.
The Northwest Seaplanes website says its sister company Friday Harbor Seaplanes operates daily flights to and from their Renton base and the San Juan Islands, a scenic archipelago northwest of Seattle that draws tourists from around the world.
Floatplanes, which have pontoons allowing them to land on water, are a common sight around Puget Sound, an inlet of the Pacific Ocean. There are multiple, daily flights between the Seattle area and the San Juan Islands.
These aircraft, which also fly between Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia, frequently travel over Seattle and land on Lake Washington and on Lake Union, not far from the city’s iconic Space Needle.
The airport where the flight was headed Sunday is at the southern tip of Lake Washington, less than 5 miles (8 kilometers) from Seattle. It’s located next to a Boeing plant and is best known for where new 737s first hit the sky.
In July, 2020, a De Havilland Beaver operated by Brooke’s Seaplanes was on a scenic flight in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, with five passengers and a pilot when it collided with a Cessna 206. Eight people were killed.
In 2019, a midair crash in Alaska between two sightseeing planes killed six people. The Ketchikan-based floatplanes were carrying passengers from the same cruise ship, the Royal Princess, and were returning from tours of Misty Fjords National Monument. | 2022-09-05T17:18:40+00:00 | wishtv.com | https://www.wishtv.com/news/national/1-dead-9-missing-after-floatplane-crashes-in-puget-sound/ |
WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – Wichita State men’s basketball coach Paul Mills is starting to build a roster for next year.
On Monday, Mills announced the signing of Joy Ighovodja, a 6-foot-4 lefty from Abeokuta, Nigeria, who has spent the past two years honing his skills at the NBA Academy Africa in Saly, Senegal.
Mills said:
“I am excited to have Joy be a part of Wichita State basketball. Joy has a terrific skillset combined with great length for a guard his size and will be a force for many years to come. He is a product of NBA Academy Africa where his development has made monumental strides. He is being challenged every day by other high-level players who all receive high-level coaching from the Academy. More importantly, Joy is a young man of high character who will represent Shocker basketball well, on and off the court. Please join me in welcoming Joy to Wichita!”
On Friday, Bijan Cortes made his Wichita State commitment official by signing a financial aid agreement.
The 6-foot-3 guard out of Kingfisher, Okla., appeared in 59 games in over the past two seasons at Oklahoma and was a 50% career three-point shooter. As a sophomore, he averaged 3.2 points and 2.0 assists in 17 minutes per game.
Cortes will be immediately eligible at WSU as a first-time transfer and has two more seasons of eligibility remaining.
Mills said:
“I am extremely excited that Bijan is a Shocker. He is a versatile guard and an elite shooter who does exceptional work running a team. I had the privilege of watching Bijan win multiple state championships during his high school career in Oklahoma, and it was evident then that he is willing to do all that it takes to put his team in the best position to win championships. I’m confident that Bijan will be able to make an impact quickly due to his effectiveness on both ends of the court.” | 2023-04-25T15:48:37+00:00 | ksn.com | https://www.ksn.com/sports/shockers/mills-starts-rebuilding-shocker-basketball-program/ |
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams had all the ingredients to overcome the loss of Cooper Kupp to a torn ACL in 2018.
There were receivers familiar with the system and quarterback, in addition to a strong running game and stability on the offensive line to help mitigate not having Kupp, who had not yet blossomed into a Super Bowl MVP and the fourth player in NFL history to claim the receiving triple crown.
With their star wide receiver out at least four weeks following surgery to repair a high ankle sprain, it will be a much tougher task for the reeling Rams to manage his absence this time.
“Some guys need to step up. They will,” offensive coordinator Liam Coen said Thursday. “It’s going to be a big opportunity for some guys that are going to be able to play in a moment that they may not have been in before.”
Two of the options fitting that description for Los Angeles (3-6) could be second-year receiver Tutu Atwell and undrafted rookie Lance McCutcheon.
A second-round pick from Louisville, the speedy but undersized Atwell was expected to help stretch the field when he was drafted in 2021. He has one career reception for 54 yards in 13 games.
McCutcheon surprisingly earned a roster spot after an outstanding preseason in which the Montana State product showed a knack for making contested catches. He has played four offensive snaps in three games.
The untested players believe they are ready to help starting Sunday at New Orleans.
“As great as Cooper is, we’ve got a lot of weapons in the room. This is a big opportunity for a lot of guys that have kind of been in the shadows for a little bit,” McCutcheon said.
There is plenty of production that needs to be replaced without Kupp.
He had 75 catches for 812 yards and six touchdowns. Including his 52 yards rushing with a TD, Kupp has accounted for 34% of the Rams’ total offense (812 of 2544 yards) and 44% of their touchdowns (seven of 16).
The inexperienced Atwell and McCutcheon are unlikely to be first options asked to step in for Kupp. Allen Robinson has three 1,100-yard seasons under his belt. Van Jefferson demonstrated flashes of being a difference-maker last year. Others in the mix include receiver-turned-fullback Ben Skowronek and return specialist Brandon Powell.
“We got a committee of guys that really need to step up and they’re taking this thing very seriously to come and do that,” Coen said.
If Atwell or McCutcheon can find some way to contribute, it would likely be a bonus.
“This is our time to step up and show the coaches what we can do,” Atwell said. “The coaches believe in us. Coop believe in us. … We just gonna go what we got to do to help our team and make sure we do our assignments.”
The Rams overcame not having Kupp for the final six games of the 2018 season and all of the playoffs to reach the Super Bowl.
In spite of their current struggles, there is belief in the locker room the same thing can happen this season.
“I mean, every team go through adversity. It’s just our time at this point right now,” Atwell said.
NOTES: Stafford was a full participant in practice for the second straight day, and backup QB John Wolford (neck) returned on a limited basis. Coen did not rule out having three QBs — Stafford, Wolford and Bryce Perkins — active against the Saints.

CAIRO (AP) — Iranian authorities said Wednesday that two suspects were killed and two more were arrested in connection with a shooting that left seven people dead at a bazaar last month in the country’s southwest.
IRNA, Iran’s official state news agency, said the two suspects killed were among the perpetrators of the market shooting in the Iranian city of Izeh last month. The report said two others accused of being involved in the attack were arrested in the same operation, led by the Revolutionary Guard and the Country’s Intelligence Ministry.
Iranian authorities provided no further details about when the operation took place. They offered no evidence that the four men were involved in the attack. News of the security operation was first announced by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard in a statement published on Tuesday.
It remains unclear what motivated the gun attack in Izeh, or if it is linked to the nationwide protests that have rocked the country since late September. Iranian authorities labeled the incident a ”terrorist” attack but have not accused any particular group of being behind the shooting.
Iranian state TV has in the past said that two gunmen on motorbikes opened fire at Izeh’s Bazaar on the evening of Nov. 16. Around the same time, protesters had gathered in different areas of the city, chanting anti-government slogans and throwing rocks at the police, it reported.
Nationwide demonstrations ignited across Iran in late September after the death of a 22-year-old woman who was being held by the country’s morality police. The protests have since morphed into calls for the overthrow of Iran’s ruling clerics and an end to the theocracy established after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
At least 506 people have been killed in the countrywide demonstrations amid the government crackdown, according to Human Rights Activists in Iran, a group that’s been monitoring the protests since they began. | 2022-12-21T16:51:33+00:00 | mytwintiers.com | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/world-news/ap-international/ap-iranian-authorities-say-2-killed-2-arrested-after-attack/ |

NEW YORK – E. Jean Carroll, the columnist who won a $5 million sexual abuse and defamation award against former President Donald Trump, is seeking at least $10 million more in a new court filing Monday that seeks to hold him liable for remarks he made after the verdict.
An amended lawsuit seeking the $10 million in compensatory damages — and more in punitive damages — was filed in Manhattan by lawyers for Carroll, who say remarks by Trump in response to her rape allegations so spoiled her reputation that she lost her longtime job as an Elle magazine advice columnist.
They said in the rewritten lawsuit that he “doubled down” on derogatory remarks about Carroll at a cable television appearance a day after the verdict.
“Trump’s defamatory statements post-verdict show the depth of his malice toward Carroll since it is hard to imagine defamatory conduct that could possibly be more motivated by hatred, ill will, or spite,” the lawyers wrote. “This conduct supports a very substantial punitive damages award in Carroll’s favor both to punish Trump, to deter him from engaging in further defamation, and to deter others from doing the same."
A nine-person jury two weeks ago decided Trump had sexually abused Carroll at an upscale Manhattan department store in early spring 1996.
Carroll, who testified during the trial, first revealed in a 2019 book her claims that Trump raped her in a dressing room. The jury decided Carroll hadn't proved she had been raped, but found that Trump had sexually abused her.
Joe Tacopina, a Trump lawyer, declined to comment on the new claims.
The lawyers filed the new claims in amending a defamation lawsuit that was put on hold as an appeals court was deciding whether Trump could be held liable for remarks he made in 2019 while he was still president. The U.S. Justice Department has supported his lawyers' claims that the United States should be substituted as the defendant.
In the new claim, Carroll's lawyers said Trump, “undeterred by the jury’s verdict, persisted in maliciously defaming Carroll yet again" the next day during a “town hall” event hosted by CNN.
“He doubled down on his prior defamatory statements, asserting to an audience all too ready to cheer him on that ‘I never met this woman. I never saw this woman,’ that he did not sexually assault Carroll, and that her account — which had just been validated by a jury of Trump’s peers one day before — was a ‘fake,’ ‘made up story’ invented by a ‘whack job.’ Those statements resulted in enthusiastic cheers and applause from the audience on live TV,” the lawyers wrote. | 2023-05-22T22:43:21+00:00 | wsls.com | https://www.wsls.com/news/national/2023/05/22/e-jean-carroll-adds-trumps-post-verdict-remarks-to-defamation-case-seeks-at-least-10m/ |
(CNN) — A first-edition 2007 Apple iPhone has sold for more than $190,000 at auction, far exceeding the estimate.
Dubbed the “Holy Grail” by auctioneer LCG Auctions, the 4GB model was expected to fetch in the region of $50,000-$100,000.
But after attracting 28 bids online, the phone’s value quickly rose and Sunday’s final sale price was $190,372.80.
On the listing, LCG Auctions says that, in the last nine months, a pair of 8GB versions of the 2007 factory sealed first-edition iPhone sold for “record prices.”
And this 4GB model – described as “an extraordinary collectible” that’s in “exceptional condition” – is even more “elusive.”
The phone was discontinued after only two months on the market due to “slow sales” after the updated 8GB model was released with double the storage space for just $100 more, according to LCG Auctions.
It is this “extreme scarcity” and its “limited production” that made the phone so rare and valuable, they added.
The iPhone – which remains in its original packaging and has never been opened – is likely to remain sealed to prevent its value from plummeting.
Earlier this year, a first-generation 2007 iPhone sold for more than $63,000, while another unopened first-generation iPhone sold for more than $39,000 in a listing also by LCG Auctions in October.
The iPhone changed the way billions of people around the world communicate, make payments, do their jobs, take photos and even how they wake up in the morning. It killed dozens of industries (camcorders, MP3 players, flip phones) and gave life to many more.
Speaking at Apple’s annual Macworld expo in 2007, late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs opened his presentation with: “We’re going to make some history together today.” Jobs called the new smartphone a “revolutionary mobile phone” that will feature an iPod, phone and what he called an “Internet communicator.”
“It’s bad out there today,” said Jobs of mobile Web browsers. “It’s a real revolution to bring real Web browsing to a phone.”
Other rare Apple memorabilia or relics of Jobs’ life have also sold at auction for eye-watering prices.
In November, a buyer spent more than $200,000 on a pair of old Birkenstock sandals owned and worn by Jobs – setting a record for the highest price ever paid for a pair of sandals at auction, according to auction house Julien’s Auctions.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — President Joe Biden will visit New Mexico on Saturday to talk about his administration’s efforts to tackle wildfires as residents smolder with anger over how federal officials allowed planned burns to spread out of control, leading to the largest blaze in recorded state history.
The fire has been contained on several fronts, but is still burning amid dangerously hot and dry conditions. It’s destroyed more than 430 homes across 500 square miles (1,300 square kilometers) since early April, according to federal officials.
Evacuations have displaced thousands of residents from rural villages with Spanish-colonial roots and high poverty rates, while unleashing untold environmental damage. Fear of flames is giving way to concern about erosion and mudslides in places where superheated fire penetrated soil and roots.
The blaze is the latest reminder of Biden's concern about wildfires, which are expected to worsen as climate change continues, and how they'll strain resources needed to fight them.
“These fires are blinking ‘code red’ for our nation," Biden said last year after stops in Idaho and California. "They’re gaining frequency and ferocity.”
In New Mexico, investigators have tracked the two source fires to burns that were set by federal forest managers as preventative measures. A group of Mora County residents sued the U.S. Forest Service this week in an effort to obtain more information about the government’s role.
Ralph Arellanes of Las Vegas, New Mexico, said many ranchers of modest means appear unlikely to receive compensation for uninsured cabins, barns and sheds that were razed by the fire.
“They’ve got their day job and their ranch and farm life. It’s not like they have a big old house or hacienda — it could be a very basic home, may or may not have running water,” said Arellanes, a former wildland firefighter and chairman for a confederation of Hispanic community advocacy groups. “They use it to stay there to feed and water the cattle on the weekend. Or maybe they have a camper. But a lot of that got burned.”
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has approved 890 disaster relief claims worth $2.7 million for individuals and households.
On Thursday, the Biden administration extended eligible financial relief to the repair of water facilities, irrigation ditches, bridges and roads. Proposed legislation from Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández, D-N.M., would offer full compensation for nearly all lost property and income linked to the wildfire.
Jennifer Carbajal says she evacuated twice from the impending wildfire at a shared family home at Pandaries in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The house survived while about 50 neighboring homes burned along with the tanks that feed the municipal water system, leaving no local supply of potable water without truck deliveries.
“There is no long-term plan right now for water infrastructure in northern New Mexico,” Carbajal said.
She said matters are worse in many hardscrabble communities across fire-scarred Mora County, where the median household income is roughly $28,000 — less than half the national average.
“They barter a lot and really have never had to rely on external resources,” she said. “The whole idea of applying for a loan (from FEMA) is an immediate turnoff for the majority of that population.”
George Fernandez of Las Vegas, New Mexico, says his family is unlikely to be compensated for an uninsured, fire-gutted house in the remote Mineral Hills area, nor a companion cabin that was built by his grandparents nearly a century ago.
Fernandez said his brother had moved away from the house to a nursing home before the fire swept through — making direct federal compensation unlikely under current rules because the house was no longer a primary residence.
“I think they should make accommodations for everybody who lost whatever they lost at face value,” Fernandez said. “It would take a lot of money to accomplish that, but it was something they started and I think they should.” | 2022-06-11T04:44:00+00:00 | expressnews.com | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Biden-facing-fire-and-anger-during-New-Mexico-17234832.php |
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House approved a “red flag” bill Thursday that would allow families, police and others to ask federal courts to order the removal of firearms from people at extreme risk of harming themselves or others.
It’s the Democratic-controlled chamber’s latest response to U.S. mass shootings and likely stands little chance in the Senate.
Nineteen states and the District of Columbia currently have such “red flag” laws. Under the House bill, a judge could issue an order to temporarily remove and store the firearms until a hearing can be held, up to two weeks later, to determine whether the firearms should be returned or kept for a specific period. The bill passed on a mostly party-line vote of 224-202.
“We are painfully aware that we cannot do enough to save every life, and there is no one answer that will solve this problem,” said Rep. Jerrold Nadler, the Democratic chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. “But we do know that taking guns out of the hands of people who pose a danger to themselves, or others, would save countless lives.”
The vote came after an emotional week that saw congressional testimony from victims of recent mass shootings in Uvalde, Texas, and Buffalo, New York, and came ahead of a planned march Saturday in Washington by groups advocating stronger gun controls.
On Wednesday the House passed a wide-ranging gun control bill that would raise the age limit for purchasing a semi-automatic rifle and prohibit the sale of ammunition magazines with a capacity of more than 15 rounds. It too, has virtually no chance in the Senate.
House Republicans criticized the “red flag” bill as giving the federal government the ability to take a law-abiding person’s guns without them having the ability to contest it beforehand.
“It would allows the courts to take guns away from people without notice and without even the right to appear in the hearing to defend themselves in court,” said Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La.
The Congressional Budget Office projects that the bill would lead to roughly 10,000 emergency petitions being filed annually with the courts.
The bill would also create a grant program at the U.S. Department of Justice to encourage states to adopt “red flag” laws and support the 19 states that have already implemented them.
Five Republican lawmakers voted for the bill: Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio, Chris Jacobs of New York, Adam Kinzinger of Illinois and Fred Upton of Michigan. Only Fitzpatrick is seeking reelection. Rep. Jared Golden of Maine was the only Democratic member to vote no.
The lead sponsors of the bill were Democratic Reps. Salud Carbajal of California and Lucy McBath of Georgia, whose son, Jordan Davis, was slain at a Jacksonville, Florida gas station in 2012 by a white man angry over the loud music the Black teenager and his friends had been playing in their car.
President Joe Biden strongly supports the bill. The White House said it would “make significant progress toward keeping guns out of dangerous hands.” However, the legislation is unlikely to advance in the Senate, where at least 10 Republican senators would be needed.
Instead, senators are focusing on incremental policy changes through a system that would send funds and other incentives to states to bolster security at school campuses, provide more mental health services to young people and possibly encourage states to pursue red-flag laws of their own.
Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, who is leading negotiations on the Republican side, said one focus is on enhancing the background check system known as NICS, to include young buyers’ criminal records before they turned 18.
“Adding juvenile records to the NICS system is a common sense way to ensure we have a complete picture of the buyer’s history,” Cornyn said.
He voiced optimism that senators will be able to reach an agreement.
“Around here, if there’s a will, there is a way, and I believe we do have the will and we will find the way,” Cornyn said.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said the House stands ready to consider a gun bill from the Senate “if it’s life-saving and can make a difference.”
But she cautioned: “We cannot have subterfuge. We can’t have them say well, it’s about this and it’s about that. No, it’s about guns.”

The Screening Room | Mood, acting save 'Emily'
Actor Frances O’Connor is fully aware her debut film as a writer/director, “Emily,” is the product of as much imagination as fact. In a statement regarding her approach, she says, “This is not a biographic film of Emily Bronte. My intention is to show the true spirit of Emily by telling a story that is thematically true to who she was, to make her story feel documented and real but to also have these fantastic moments of dark creativity, emotion and magic.” Very little is known about Bronte’s life, much supposition surrounding what her inspiration was for her novel “Wuthering Heights,” the extent of her romantic life and what led to her premature death. So, in a sense, her story is one that welcomes fact-based imagination to fill in the gaps. That being said, at times, the liberties O’Connor takes stretch the boundaries of logic and realism.
The film begins with Emily (Emma Mackey) at death’s door, having been laid low by a bout of tuberculosis contracted at her brother’s funeral a week earlier. Made comfortable but obviously fading, her sister Charlotte (Alexandra Dowling) asks her, “How did you do it? How did you write ‘Wuthering Heights?’” A series of flashbacks ensue that attempt to answer this question, a portrait of a shy, repressed, brilliant young woman emerging.
Her mother having died when she was 3 years old, Emily and her five siblings were raised by their stern father, a curate who held sway over the conservative household with an iron hand. While Charlotte and Anne (Amelia Gething, respectively) do their best to please their father, Emily and her brother Branwell (Fionn Whitehead) bristle against the oppressive environment. However, there seem to be two sources of solace for Emily. She spends an inordinate amount of time on the moors not far from home. Perpetually overcast and windy, wild in appearance and nature, Emily is at peace here, spending hours alone with her thoughts, finding comfort in an atmosphere that reflects herself. Meanwhile, the arrival of William Weightman (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), a new curate to the parish her father takes under his wing, stirs something dangerous and unknowable within her. Despite their both knowing any romantic relationship between them is forbidden, they embark on a love affair doomed to fail.
Cinematographer Nanu Segal captures the English moors in all their oppressive glory, a sense of foreboding ever present, powerfully driving home the notion that living in such an environment couldn’t help but cloud a depressive’s mood. O’Connor posits that this, as well as Emily’s relationship with Weightman, are the foundation for “Wuthering Heights,” as are other events those familiar with the novel will immediately recognize. It’s an interesting theory and holds as much water as any other supposition about the author and her work, but I doubt Bronte scholars would carry this conjecture as far as the filmmaker does here. The author taking opium trips and getting a defiant tattoo on her forearm speaks more to 20th-century acts of rebellion and proves narratively jarring rather than inspired.
“Emily” is a good-looking, well-acted film that serves as a mirror-image of “Heights.” While the second act is a bit of a slog, overall, it is an immersive experience, the dark tone of the film impressive and inescapable.
More than likely, you’ll be digging out your old copy of Bronte’s classic to revisit it with this context in mind. In the end, I suspect that was O’Connor’s intent all along.

There is an obvious way to improve Gov. Kathy Hochul and Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz’s sweetheart deal with the owners of the Bills, who are given money by every New Yorker, infant to seniors, to build their new stadium.
Without extra cost or harm to the new stadium, the politicians and Bills could agree to hire 100 unemployed or low-paid minority and immigrant workers for each Tops victim. A thousand jobs for low-income Buffalo families would improve the East Side economy and share part of the 800 million in the community in tribute to the 10 Tops victims.
The Buffalo Public Schools and Northland Workforce Training Center can screen and train potential workers.
Let poor deserving Buffalonians help build the new stadium and improve their families' lives.

Former Yankton Sioux Tribe's police chief charged with fraud
The former police chief of the Yankton Sioux Tribe in South Dakota has been charged by federal prosecutors with wire fraud and theft from the tribe.
Federal prosecutors allege that Chris Saunsoci sought wages both from the tribe and a local ministry that was providing flood relief. He allegedly held both positions between September 2020 and 2021 and sought wages for overlapping hours on 139 days. He was paid about $30,500 for both jobs on those days, according to court documents.

Saunsoci is also being charged with misusing an SUV that belonged to the tribe this year, the U.S. Attorney's office for South Dakota said.
Saunsoci pleaded not guilty to the charges in November after he was indicted by a federal grand jury. An attorney appointed to represent him did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
He faces 18 counts of wire fraud and two counts of theft from the tribe. The wire fraud charges carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal custody, while the theft charges carry a maximum sentence of five years in custody. | 2022-12-08T16:06:11+00:00 | argusleader.com | https://www.argusleader.com/story/news/crime/2022/12/08/former-yankton-sioux-tribes-police-chief-charged-with-fraud/69711623007/ |
Follow live updates and results from Election Day 2022 here.
In an election that had experts worried about vigilante poll monitors and the potential for danger for election workers, voting on Election Day seems to have gone off without any major incidents.
That is — no incidents that rise above the normal snafus and mistakes that come with every major federal election.
The highest profile of those issues may have been in Maricopa County, Ariz., where a printer issue meant roughly 20% of ballot counters were unusable early in the day.
County officials said the problem was fixed a few hours later, but many on the far-right rushed to point to the incident as further evidence of an election conspiracy, in a place that has become the epicenter of election denialism over the past few years. But election experts and federal officials were quick to rebut those claims.
"Whenever over 100 million people do something, something will go wrong. That is human nature. It does not mean there is a conspiracy," tweeted Michael McDonald, a political science professor at the University of Florida.
Other issues of note included a Wisconsin man being arrested for bringing a knife into a polling place, and a ballot paper shortage in Luzerne County, Pa., that caused a judge to extend voting hours there until 10 p.m.
In Michigan, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said her office heard reports about two disruptive election challengers, one in Ann Arbor and one in Detroit, but both left polling places without incident.
Irma Salazar, a Republican election observer in Milwaukee, told NPR that she went to the city's absentee counting center to see the process up close and "make sure everything is on the up and up."
"I haven't seen anything wrong or anything, like, nobody's hiding anything, everybody's been open and transparent," she said. "Seems like it's all going good."
Federal cybersecurity officials said Tuesday they had also seen no indications of foreign election interference aimed at voting infrastructure, but that they were monitoring a series of cyber attacks that briefly knocked some Mississippi state websites offline, including the secretary of state's website.
Now, the focus nationally will turn to vote-counting, which is expected to take days in some places like Pennsylvania, where, due to state law, clerks were unable to start processing mail ballots until Tuesday morning.
"[Election officials] are prioritizing accuracy over speed, as they should," Pennsylvania's acting secretary of state, Leigh Chapman said.

On Wednesday, the Hoonigan team released a video to YouTube discussing what’s next after the loss of co-founder and automotive icon Ken Block.
Hoonigan co-founder and Block’s business partner Brian Scotto said the team was supposed to start the year by traveling to Australia to film a down under version of their video series “This vs. That.”
The trip was cancelled after Block died in a snowmobile accident on Jan. 2.
Over the last few weeks, Scotto said, the Hoonigan team discussed the project’s future, and concluded that it was time to change its direction.
As a result, a new YouTube show set to take place on Wednesdays will be like “hanging out to update you on the dumb stuff we are doing,” Hoonigan Hertech Eugene Jr. said.
The new show’s vibe will be similar to an older show from Hoonigan called “Daily Transmission,” which faded away as the team evolved.
Another show, “Tangents,” will not continue.
Ron Zaras noted after taking a step back the team wants to go back to its roots—crazy, dumb stuff—while still producing “This vs. That” and other popular shows.
“Builds” will come back, but not crazy builds that people can’t produce in their garage. Hoonigan’s project car channel will return as well.
Block’s family will continue with other projects. Since Block’s death, they have founded the 43 Institute—dedicated to “creating paths of opportunity for the exceptionally driven”—and published a makeshift website that indicated updates would come soon. The website has not been updated and the Hoonigan crew made no mention of this foundation in their video aside from splashing the 43i.org website URL during the opening.
On Wednesday, DirtFish Rally School announced Block’s daughter, Lia, and wife, Lucy, will compete in the rest of this year’s Green APU American Rally Association series. Block won the 100 Acre Wood Rally seven times, and the Block name will return to compete again in March. The duo plan to enter the remaining ARA rounds, according to team manager Derek Dauncey. Block’s co-driver, Alex Gelsomino, will co-drive for Lucy this year in the remaining ARA rounds. Gelsomino was a founding member of the team in 2010.

(THE CONVERSATION) The 2022 Tour de France is here. Starting in Copenhagen on July 1, the tour covers almost 2,100 miles (3,380 kilometers) over 24 days of riding through Denmark, Belgium, Switzerland, and France. The tour is a feat of human athleticism, but to really understand how incredible it is to complete the race – much less win it – requires thinking about a unique blend of physics, biology, and physiology. Mix those up just right and you get a Tour de France champion.
Over the years, The Conversation has published a series of stories covering the science of the Tour de France and elite athletics. Below are excerpts from three of those stories to help you better appreciate this spectacular race.
1. The biomechanics of riding a bike
Riding a bike is an easy thing to do once you learn, but the physics of how bikes and riders work together is surprisingly complicated. As Stephen Cain, a mechanical engineer at West Virginia University, explains, “A big part of balancing a bicycle has to do with controlling the center of mass of the rider-bicycle system.” Basically, you have to keep the center of mass above the wheels – otherwise, you tip over.
“Bicycle riders can use two main balancing strategies: steering and body movement relative to the bike,” says Cain. Steering keeps the bike underneath you while body movements subtly shift your center of gravity. Cain and his colleagues ran a study to understand the difference between how novice and professional cyclists balance a bike, and as he says in his article, they found that “both novice and expert riders exhibit similar balance performance at slow speeds. But at higher speeds, expert riders achieve superior balance performance by employing smaller but more effective body movements and less steering.”
This fine-scale control is why the racers in the Tour de France barely look like they are steering at all.
2. How many calories do Tour riders burn?
Think back to the last time you did some hard exercise and how hungry you were that evening. Now imagine how hungry you would be if you needed to ride your bike over 100 miles (165 km) and climb nearly 10,000 feet (about 3,050 meters) of elevation in less than five hours. This is what racers will have to do during Stage 12 of this year’s race as they traverse mountain passes through the French Alps. As Eric Goff, a sports physicist at the University of Lynchburg explains, the cyclists are going to need a lot of fuel to pull this off.
“To make a bicycle move, a Tour de France rider transfers energy from his muscles, through the bicycle and to the wheels that push back on the ground,” says Goff. Professional cyclists are in another league when it comes to producing power with their legs, but they are still limited by basic human biology. “Muscles, like any machine, can’t convert 100% of food energy directly into energy output,” explains Goff. “Muscles can be anywhere between 2% efficient when used for activities like swimming and 40% efficient in the heart.”
With mountains to climb and glory to claim, riders need to fuel their muscles with food. In his story, Goff calculates that over the course of the Tour de France, racers will burn an astonishing 120,000 calories – the equivalent of about 210 Big Macs.
3. Biology explains why professional athletes are young
When you watch the Tour de France, soccer’s World Cup, or the Olympics, it’s common to see a young teenage phenom, but it’s rare for anyone over the age of 40 to be competing.
Roger Fielding, an aging and exercise researcher at Tufts University, writes that “old and young people build muscle in the same way.” But there is a biological reason no 50-year-old has ever won the Tour de France: “As you age, many of the biological processes that turn exercise into muscle become less effective.”
Muscles grow thanks to a number of complicated cellular pathways that are activated during exercise. When this network of receptors and signaling chemicals gets triggered, the body responds by increasing muscle size – and even makes some small tweaks to what genes are active. But as Fielding explains, in older people “the signal telling muscles to grow is much weaker for a given amount of exercise. These changes begin to occur when a person reaches around 50 years old and become more pronounced as time goes on.”
Many people can and do get into the best shape of their lives when they are in their 50s or 60s. But the fact that it is harder to get fit as you age is a major reason why it’s so important for older people to exercise – and why you won’t see any retirees leading the peloton in the Tour de France. | 2022-07-09T16:19:11+00:00 | krqe.com | https://www.krqe.com/news/world/winning-the-tour-de-france-requires-subtle-physics-young-muscles-and-an-obscene-amount-of-calories-3-essential-reads/ |

(NEXSTAR) — With two months of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season already over with, it might seem like activity in the tropics has been pretty quiet. But is it unusual?
By this time in the year, there are typically about four named storms, according to the National Hurricane Center. So far, there have been only three named storms (Alex, Bonnie and Colin), so activity is only slightly below average. More on that below.
Chief Meteorologist David Yeomans with KXAN News in Austin says there are a variety of reasons why the past two months have been a bit sluggish.
Here’s what’s causing slower activity in the tropics:
- The high pressure system normally found over Bermuda this time of year is farther north. This clockwise circulation, near the Azores west of Europe, is dragging dry air down from Europe. Chief Meteorologist Jeff Berardelli of WFLA in Tampa says this area is experiencing multiple heat waves and is in the midst of its worst drought in centuries — conditions which create very dry air that travels over the ocean and inhibits tropical formation.
- Saharan dust. According to Yeomans, some dust is still present in the main development region of the tropics. While there’s less than there was a month ago, the dry and windy air it causes is also inhibiting storm formation.
- High winds across the Atlantic basin.
Despite these factors, Yeomans says storm activity is expected to ratchet up in the coming weeks.
“Over the next 1 to 2 weeks, we expect the dust and wind shear over the Atlantic to lessen/lighten and expect more rising air to develop in that area (instead of sinking),” said Yeomans. “All of these should lead to an uptick in activity.”
He notes, however, that while it’s been quiet, the season isn’t all that unique, adding that most Atlantic tropical storm/hurricane activity usually happens after August 20. The peak of the season comes around September 10.
There’s another reason why this season may seem slower — recent hurricane seasons have been so much more active than average. WFLA reported that by August 1, 2021, there had already been five named storms. In 2020, there were eight between May and July. So while this season may be a little lightweight so far, it’s too soon to tell if it’ll ultimately be considered “slow.”
But could this slightly slow start to the hurricane season impact severity? Yeomans answered simply: “There’s no correlation between a slower start of hurricane season and how the rest of it plays out.”
The 2022 Atlantic hurricane season ends Nov. 30.
Tropical systems explained
While it may be confusing to understand the differences between types of tropical weather events, Yeomans broke down how they’re classified:
- Tropical depression: Weaker systems with winds of 38 miles per hour or less
- Tropical storm: Winds reach 39 mph or higher, at which point the storm is officially named
- Hurricane: Winds reach 74 mph or higher. Hurricanes keep the same names they earned when they reached “tropical storm” status
“Basically, if a tropical depression forms but then falls apart, it never gets a name,” said Yeomans. “If something reaches tropical storm strength or stronger, it becomes a ‘named storm.'” | 2022-08-19T18:52:17+00:00 | kxnet.com | https://www.kxnet.com/news/national-news/why-havent-there-been-hurricanes-so-far-this-year/ |
Cell phone video shows a man climbing the Brickell Avenue drawbridge in Miami while it was raised.
Miami Police say they received multiple calls Monday afternoon from individuals reporting a man climbing to the top of the bridge located on the Southwest side as it was rising.
Officers immediately responded to the area, but the bridge had already gone back down.
The Only in Dade video showed the man doing a celebratory push-up after the climb, and witnesses reported that he fled the scene running.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Average long-term U.S. mortgage rates climbed over 6% this week for the first time since the housing crash of 2008, threatening to sideline even more homebuyers from a rapidly cooling housing market.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported Thursday that the 30-year rate rose to 6.02% from 5.89% last week. The long-term average rate has more than doubled since a year ago and is the highest it's been since November of 2008, just after the housing market collapse triggered the Great Recession. One year ago, the rate stood at 2.86%.
Rising interest rates — in part a result of the Federal Reserve’s aggressive push to tamp down inflation — have cooled off a housing market that has been hot for years. Many potential home buyers are getting pushed out of the market as the higher rates have added hundreds of dollars to monthly mortgage payments. Sales of existing homes in the U.S. have fallen for six straight months, according to the National Association of Realtors.
The average rate on 15-year, fixed-rate mortgages, popular among those looking to refinance their homes, rose to 5.21% from 5.16% last week. Last year at this time the rate was 2.19%.
Mortgage rates don’t necessarily mirror the Fed’s rate increases, but tend to track the yield on the 10-year Treasury note. That’s influenced by a variety of factors, including investors’ expectations for future inflation and global demand for U.S. Treasurys.
Recently, faster inflation and strong U.S. economic growth have sent the 10-year Treasury rate up sharply, to 3.45%.
The Fed has raised its benchmark short-term interest rate four times this year, and Chairman Jerome Powell has said that the central bank will likely need to keep interest rates high enough to slow the economy “for some time” in order to tame the worst inflation in 40 years.
More inflation data this week suggests that while gas prices have retreated significantly since early in the summer, prices for most other necessities have actually gone up, panicking investors who fear a possible recession if the Fed keeps boosting rates.
Most economists forecast that the Fed will jack up its primary lending rate another three-quarters of a point when the central bank's leaders meet next week. Some fear the Fed could raise the rate by a full point, following consecutive jumbo increases of three quarters of a point at its last two meetings.
The government reported that U.S. economy shrank at a 0.6% annual rate from April through June, a second straight quarter of economic contraction, which meets one informal sign of a recession. Most economists, though, have said they doubt that the economy is in or on the verge of a recession, given that the U.S. job market remains robust.
Applications for jobless aid fell again last week and remain at their lowest level since May, despite the Fed’s moves to tame inflation, which has a tendency to cool the job market as well. | 2022-09-15T14:17:27+00:00 | lmtonline.com | https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/Mortgage-rates-hit-6-first-time-since-2008-17443596.php |
(CNN) — The James Webb Space Telescope captured a highly detailed snapshot of the so-called Pillars of Creation, a vista of three looming towers made of interstellar dust and gas that’s speckled with newly formed stars.
The area, which lies within the Eagle Nebula about 6,500 light-years from Earth, had previously been captured by the Hubble Telescope in 1995, creating an image deemed “iconic” by space observers.
The fact that new stars are brewing within the eerie columns of cosmic dust and gas is what earned the area its name.
The Webb telescope used its Near-Infrared Camera, also called NIRCam, to give astronomers a new, closer look at the region, glimpsing through some of the dusty plumes to reveal more infant stars that glow bright red.
“Newly formed protostars are the scene-stealers,” reads a news release from the European Space Agency. “When knots with sufficient mass form within the pillars of gas and dust, they begin to collapse under their own gravity, slowly heat up, and eventually form new stars.”
Since Hubble first imaged the area in the 1990s, astronomers have returned to the scene several times. The ESA William Herschel Telescope, for example, has also captured an image of the distinctive area of star birth, and Hubble created its own followup image in 2014. Each new instrument that sets its sights on the region gives researchers new insight, according to ESA.
“Along the edges of the pillars are wavy lines that look like lava. These are ejections from stars that are still forming. Young stars periodically shoot out jets that can interact within clouds of material, like these thick pillars of gas and dust,” according to a news release.
“This sometimes also results in bow shocks, which can form wavy patterns like a boat does as it moves through water,” it reads. “These young stars are estimated to be only a few hundred thousand years old, and will continue to form for millions of years.”
Webb is operated by NASA, ESA and the Canadian Space Agency. The $10 billion space observatory, launched last December, has enough fuel to continue snapping unprecedented images of the cosmos for about 20 years.
Compared with the capabilities of other telescopes, the space observatory’s powerful, massive mirror and infrared light technology can uncover faint, distant galaxies that are otherwise invisible — and Webb has the potential to enhance our understanding of the origins of the universe.
Some of Webb’s first images, which have been rolling out since July, have highlighted the observatory’s capabilities to reveal previously unseen aspects of the cosmos, like star birth shrouded in dust.
However, astronomers are also using the telescope’s stable and precise image quality to illuminate our own solar system, and so far it has taken images of Mars, Jupiter and Neptune.

Ricardo Rosenkranz is a Chicago neonatologist with a passion for magic. He’s also the relatively new owner of the beautiful 1912 theater in Chicago’s Rogers Park neighborhood.
This jewel box of a space, renovated some years ago by Jennifer Pritzker as a swanky concert venue, was formerly known as the Mayne Stage (and, long ago, the Morse Theatre). Rosenkranz has renamed the place the Rhapsody Theatre, coinciding with the opening of Rosenkranz’s own show, “Physician Magician.”
Magic, obviously, is having a moment in Chicago. A few blocks away in Andersonville, the Magic Lounge is doing such boffo business it can be hard to snag a table for its ever-changing array of magicians. And in Wicker Park, a new operation known as The Cauldron is arriving in May from New York, offering potion-like cocktails and promising “to make magic real with science, technology and design.”
Chicago has a long history of affection for prestidigitation, often performed by multi-tasking bartenders in the heyday of Chicago taverns. But why the rebirth? Maybe it indicates our city’s ongoing search for security and belief. Or, perchance it reflects a renewed craving for analog entertainment performed by vulnerable humans in an increasingly ChatGPT world.
Rosenkranz, who grew up in Mexico and sometimes performs shows in Spanish, is no frenetic, over-polished magician. He has no comedy patter — beyond saying that, as a doctor, he was tempted to make the audience wait 15 minutes to see him — and he saws no one in half. Nor does he embarrass volunteers. Rather, his boutique show focuses on the relationship between magic and healing.
His pieces not only have intellectual and philosophical underpinnings but are designed to end with solutions: an audience member gets to solve a Rubik’s Cube, something broken is made whole, and a worry is assuaged. This current stand at the Rhapsody is not his first show; I reviewed his prior runs at the Royal George Cabaret, now sadly defunct.
But Rosenkranz now has control over his physical surroundings and he is better able to exploit the retro elegance of this venue. He has long been compelled by tabletop-type mechanical illusions of the kind often favored by great Victorian and early 20th century magicians. Several of these beautiful creations, which Rosenkranz mostly bought at auction, are part of his show. One especially appealing collaborator is Balsamo, Rosenkranz’s Yorick.
It’s that kind of show: smart, moving and refined. A thinking person’s night out, you might say. With bespoke cocktails.

BETHESDA, Md. (AP) — In Gee Chun rallied after losing the rest of her once-sizeable lead, overcoming a bogey-filled front nine to win the Women’s PGA Championship on Sunday when Lexi Thompson faltered with her putter.
Chun shot a 3-over 75 for the second consecutive day at Congressional, but that was enough to win her third major title by a stroke over Thompson and Minjee Lee. Chun, after leading by six at the tournament’s midway point, lost a three-shot advantage in the first three holes of the final round. Thompson was two strokes ahead of her after the front nine, but Thompson’s putting problems were just beginning.
The 27-year-old Floridian botched a par putt from a couple feet on No. 14, but a birdie on 15 restored her lead to two. Then she bogeyed the par-5 16th while Chun made birdie, leaving the two players tied with two holes remaining.
Thompson three-putted for bogey on 17, and after an impressive approach from the rough on 18, her birdie putt wasn’t hit firmly enough.
Chun’s approach on the par-4 18th bounced past the hole and just off the back of the green, but she putted to within about 5 feet and sank her par attempt for the win.
Chun, a 27-year-old from South Korea, led by seven strokes after finishing her 8-under 64 in wet conditions Thursday. The lead was down to five at the end of that day — still equaling the largest 18-hole advantage in the history of women’s majors.
She was six strokes ahead at the halfway point and had a three-shot advantage coming into Sunday. She finished at 5-under 283.
Chun won her first major at the U.S. Women’s Open in 2015 and added the Evian Championship in France the following year.
Thompson hasn’t won an LPGA Tour event since 2019, and her lone major victory came as a teenager at Mission Hills in the California desert in 2014. She’s certainly had chances. She lost a five-stroke lead during the final round of last year’s U.S. Women’s Open at Olympic Club.
This year she was 10 strokes back after the first round before steadily chasing down Chun. Thompson made birdies on Nos. 1 and 3 on Sunday. Chun bogeyed Nos. 2 and 4 to fall out of the lead.
Thompson missed short birdie putts on the eighth and ninth — foreshadowing her problems later in the round — but Chun’s 40 on the front nine left her two back at the turn. Sei Young Kim, who had made it to 6 under at one point, bogeyed 8, 10, 11 and 12 and wasn’t a factor after that.
When Chun made her first birdie of the day at the par-5 11th, Thompson answered with a birdie of her own to remain two shots ahead at 7 under. When Thompson bogeyed 12, so did Chun.
The 16th hole, where Chun had to take an unplayable lie and made double bogey Saturday, was the turning point in her favor in the final round. Thompson was just short and right of the green in two shots but took four from there to make bogey, while Chun rolled in her birdie putt after a long wait.
Lee, who trailed by six at the start of the day, just missed an eagle putt on 16 that could have tied her for the lead. When Thompson birdied 15 and Lee bogeyed 17, the Australian was three behind.
A terrific approach on the final hole gave Lee a short birdie putt, but after making that for a final-round 70, she still needed Thompson to drop two more strokes.
That actually happened, but Lee’s birdie and two pars on the final three holes were enough to win.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 22, 2022. 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, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) defendants had engaged in a variety of improper and illegal schemes to inflate testing services revenue and demand, including pushing a surveillance protocol through inaccurate marketing materials, offering extravagant inducements or kickbacks to physicians and other providers, and improperly bundling expensive testing services with other blood tests as part of the RemoTraC service; (2) these practices, and others, subjected CareDx to an undisclosed risk of regulatory scrutiny; (3) these practices rendered the Company's testing services revenue reported throughout the Class Period artificially inflated; and (4) as a result, defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the CareDx class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=2700 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.

NEW YORK (AP) — Vice Media is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, the most recent digital media company to falter after a meteoric rise.
Vice said Monday that it has agreed to sell its assets to a consortium of lenders — Fortress Investment Group, Soros Fund Management and Monroe Capital — in exchange for $225 million in credit. Other parties will be able to submit bids as well.
The company expects the sale to conclude in the next two to three months. During the process, Vice’s media brands will continue to produce content and the company will keep paying its employees and vendors, according to a Monday press release.
In a prepared statement, Vice co-CEOs Bruce Dixon and Hozefa Lokhandwala said the “accelerated court-supervised sale process” will strengthen the company and position it for long-term growth, “thereby safeguarding the kind of authentic journalism and content creation that makes VICE such a trusted brand for young people and such a valued partner to brands, agencies and platforms.”
Vice assets and liabilities worth between $500 million and $1 billion, according to Monday’s filing.
The bankruptcy filing arrives just weeks after the company announced it would cancel its flagship “Vice News Tonight” program amid a wave of layoffs expected to impact more than 100 of the company’s 1,500-person workforce, the Wall Street Journal reported. The company also said it would end its Vice World News brand.
There has been a wider surge of media layoffs and closures, including job cuts at Gannett, NPR, the Washington Post and other organizations. In April, BuzzFeed Inc. announced that its Pulitzer Prize winning digital media outlet BuzzFeed News was being shut down as part of a cost-cutting drive by its corporate parent.
Digital advertising has plummeted this year, cutting into the profitability of major tech companies from Google to Facebook.
“One of the things that I think really hurt Vice, and in turn Buzfeed as well, is social media networks like Facebook changing their algorithms,” Jason Mollica, professor at American University’s School of Communication, said — noting that social media was once a space that Vice thrived. “When you’re not pulling in the numbers that you would expect advertising-wise, you’re losing money.”
Beyond advertising and the shifting digital landscape, Mollica also pointed to the changing habits of news consumers consumers today — and challenges that media companies across the industry face as they try to reach audiences.
“It comes down to advertising, but it also comes down to relatability to what your audience is looking for,” Mollica said.
Vice Media’s roots date back to 1994, with the launch of Vice’s original punk magazine in Montreal. Vice soon moved to New York and built itself into a global media company.
Over the years, Vice developed a reputation for in-your-face journalism that covered daring stories around the world that particularly reasonated with new, young audiences across digital platforms. The media company’s assets also include film and TV production, an in-house marketing agency, and brands such as Refinery 29 and Unbothered.
The media company has struggled to turn around profits in recent years. Monday’s filings show that Vice has total outstanding debt of $834 million.
In 2017, Vice was valued at $5.7 billion. Now, however, most experts estimate the company is worth just a fraction of that, The New York Times reported earlier this month.
Monday’s bankruptcy filing arrives just months after Nancy Dubuc announced that she would be stepping down as CEO of the company. Vice named longtime Vice executives Dixon and Lokhandwala as co-CEOs.
Dubuc replaced Vice co-founder Shane Smith in 2018, a turbulent time at Vice after a 2017 Times investigation uncovered rampant sexual harrassment and misconduct at the company. | 2023-05-15T18:19:21+00:00 | localsyr.com | https://www.localsyr.com/news/business/ap-business/vice-media-files-for-chapter-11-bankruptcy-the-latest-in-a-string-of-digital-media-setbacks/ |

Here's the top tech being unveiled at CES 2023
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Tech companies of all sizes are showing off their latest products at CES, formerly known as the Consumer Electronics show.
The show is getting back to normal after going completely virtual in 2021 and seeing a significant drop in 2022 attendance because of the pandemic.
On Wednesday, big names like LG and Samsung and smaller startups showcased their latest products for the media in Las Vegas. The show officially opens Thursday.
Here are some highlights:
NO MESSY WIRES
LG Electronics unveiled a 97-inch OLED TV with what it calls a Zero Connect Box that streams content wirelessly. The box, which still needs to be plugged in, just needs to be within 30 feet (nine meters) of the display.
But why would anyone want a wireless 4K television?
David M. Park, senior marketing manager at the South Korean tech company, says it means owners can place a TV in the center of the room without all the messy wires, or maybe mount it above a fireplace or perhaps on a hard-to-drill concrete wall.
LG says the 97-inch LG Signature OLED M (model M3) will be available in the second half of 2023. Pricing has not yet been announced.
ROBOT DELIVERIES
Picture yourself weaving through crowds at the airport on a busy holiday weekend, ignoring the rumble in your stomach as you speed past restaurants to make it to your gate on time.
Brooklyn-based Ottonomy.io is looking to ease that all-too-familiar travel anxiety with its fully autonomous delivery robots.
If you’re traveling through airports in Cincinnati, Pittsburgh or Rome, for example, you might cross paths with one of these robots as they bring food directly to travelers at their gates.
Ottonomy unveiled its newest robot, the Yeti, on Wednesday at CES. It showed off its new self-dispensing feature, which eliminates the need for a human to be present to collect deliveries.
The company also provides outdoor curbside delivery services up to 4 miles (6.4 kilometers).
Ottonomy co-founder and CEO Ritukar Vijay said the price tag on its services varies depending on the number of robots a company wants to deploy and how many restaurants or retailers are included in the delivery footprint.
AUDIO GLASSES FROM PAULA ABDUL
Singer and dancer Paula Abdul came to CES to launch Idol Eyes, a line of audio sunglasses.
"I’ve wanted to get into the tech world for the longest time," Abdul told The Associated Press, "but I wanted to do it in a way that was authentic to who I am."
Starting at $199, the sunglasses feature a five-hour battery life and play audio from the arms of the frames via Bluetooth connectivity. You can listen to music or answer calls.
The Grammy- and Emmy-award winning artist’s first collection of eyewear is available in seven colors, with polarized and blue light filter lenses.
"I’m just marrying fashion, movement and technology," Abdul said. "That’s where my heart is.".
VR FOR YOUR CAR
Holoride, based in Munich, Germany, wants to make car rides more fun and less dizzy. The company's VR headset allows passengers to play video games, watch Netflix or scroll through Instagram while they ride.
If the car is moving, you move in the virtual world, helping to prevent car sickness, according to co-founder Daniel Profendiner. Rather than seeing the road, you might be flying and fighting robots or swimming under the sea.
"The car industry is super-focused on the driver but with more autonomous driving on the horizon, the passenger gets more into the focus as well," he said.
Previously, holoride was only available for Audis with an in-system retrofit so the headset could recognize when the car was moving. On Wednesday at CES, the company announced a new product that can be used in any car.
The retrofit pack, which includes the VR headset, holoride retrofit, a safety strap and a one-year subscription to holoride, is $799.
ROKU GETS ITS OWN TVS
Roku is expanding its line-up of video streaming devices to include internet-connected TVs bearing its brand for the first time.
It's Roku’s latest attempt to cement its position as a video streaming hub during the ongoing shift from TV provided through internet connections instead of cable and satellite systems.
When the sets roll out later this spring, it will mark the first time that Roku has made its own TVs. The San Jose, California, company will continue to team up with a variety of other manufacturers to include its steaming software in internet-connected TVs — an approach that Roku began in 2014.
The decision to make its own TVs while continuing to make its software available to competing manufacturers is similar to what Google has been doing with its Pixel smartphones since 2016. Google has continued to provide its Android operating system to Samsung and other smartphone manufacturers while using its Pixel line-up as a way to demonstrate how the software works best and to elevate awareness of its brand in the mobile market.
Roku’s 11 television models, with display screens ranging from 24 inches to 75 inches, are expected to sell for about $120 to $1,000 once they arrive in stores.
Roku got an early edge in the now-booming industry nearly 15 years ago when it released its first streaming box after working on the device as a secret project within Netflix, which was in the early stages of building what is now the world’s largest video streaming service.
As tech giants such as Amazon and Apple released their own streaming devices, Roku began to expand into internet-connected TVs made by other companies, sound bars and last year even got into original programming with a movie about satirical song maker Weird Al Yankovic. | 2023-01-06T02:03:13+00:00 | fox9.com | https://www.fox9.com/news/heres-the-top-tech-being-unveiled-at-ces-2023 |
American Legion Post 44 to host fundraiser for Air Force veteran
MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) - The American Legion will demonstrate how veterans take care of their own this weekend.
American Legion Post 44 invites the community to attend a fundraiser this Saturday. The event will help the post’s Veteran Services Officer Richard Jacobson.
Jacobson is a 15-year Air Force veteran. Health issues have prevented Jacobson from working and he says his medical and travel expenses have continued to increase. The event will feature live music, a raffle and a silent auction.
Organizers said this is another example of veterans taking care of veterans.
“Veterans formed the Legion so they could always maintain their camaraderie,” said John Mayotte, Post 44 vice commander. “If somebody needs help – that’s what we do. A lot of the time it goes beyond the American Legion to the community, but especially for veterans. We bond together and do projects together.”
The fundraiser will be from 4:00 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 11 at the American Legion Post 44 in Marquette.

Ticketmaster halts Taylor Swift ticket sales in France, cites issue with third-party provider
NEW YORK - The trouble between Ticketmaster and Taylor Swift's"Eras" tour isn't over — with the latest snafu impacting fans hoping to score tickets in France.
On Tuesday, after some fans reported issues with accessing Ticketmaster's site, sales for six of Swift's upcoming shows in Paris and Lyon were abruptly postponed. An explanation wasn't immediately clear, but in posts on Ticketmaster's French Twitter several hours after the pause began, the ticket seller cited a problem with a third-party provider.
Ticketmaster directed The Associated Press to the Twitter statement. In the posts, Ticketmaster maintained that tickets to the France shows are still available and that the provider was "working to resolve this matter as soon as possible."
The company added that any codes that were not used for ticket purchases on Tuesday will remain valid — and that impacted fans "will be notified directly of the new onsale date and time." The new times have yet to be specified.

Tuesday's chaos arrives after the spectacular breakdown seen last November during Ticketmaster's sale of "Eras" tour tickets in the U.S. — when Ticketmaster’s site crashed during a presale event for Swift’s stadium tour and thousands of people lost tickets after waiting for hours in an online queue.
At the time, the company said its site was overwhelmed by both fans and attacks from bots, which were posing as consumers in order to scoop up tickets and sell them on secondary sites. The company later issued an apology "to Taylor and all of her fans – especially those who had a terrible experience trying to purchase tickets."
Swift expressed frustration on behalf of fans in November, noting on Instagram that it was "excruciating for me to just watch mistakes happen with no recourse."
Multiple lawmakers accused Ticketmaster of abusing its power as the dominant ticket-seller for consumers. And both federal and state authorities moved to investigate the fiasco.
Ticketmaster, which merged with Live Nation in 2010, is the world’s largest ticket seller, processing 500 million tickets each year in more than 30 countries. Around 70% of tickets for major concert venues in the U.S. are sold through Ticketmaster, according to data in a federal lawsuit filed by consumers last year.

Outrage towards the ticket seller reemerged on Tuesday after the postponing of France ticket sales.
"Ticketmaster is a poorly run company and its bad practices come in part from its position as a monopolist in the space of concert ticket distribution," Syracuse University Law Professor Shubha Ghosh, who specializes in antitrust law, said in a statement.
Swift is currently wrapping up her 52-date U.S. tour, which is set to conclude with Los Angeles shows in early August. Her international shows begin in Mexico City on August 24. She's scheduled to do four Paris concerts in May 2024 and two Lyon shows next June. | 2023-07-11T21:38:51+00:00 | fox10phoenix.com | https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/ticketmaster-halts-taylor-swift-ticket-sales-france-issue-third-party-provider |
BEDFORD, Ind. — A Bedford man who previously served time for dealing meth is back in jail after police say he continued to deal while out of jail on a cash bond.
Troopers from the Indiana State Police Bloomington District were recently advised that Timothy A. Brinegar, a 58-year-old male from Bedford, was allegedly continuing to use and deal methamphetamine while out of jail on a cash bond after being arrested for dealing methamphetamine in January 2019.
After obtaining this new information, police launched an investigation that concluded on Tuesday.
ISP Sgt. Greg Day located Brinegar around 3:30 p.m. Tuesday in a 2015 Ford truck at the intersection of Tunnelton Road and US 50. Brinegar was then observed turning west onto US 50 without properly utilizing his turn signal, which resulted in Sgt. Day conducting a traffic stop.
During the encounter, Sgt. Day observed indicators of alleged criminal activity and then Bedford Police Officer Faheem Bade arrived on the scene of the traffic stop and deployed his canine, Zazu, who gave a positive alert on the truck.
Brinegar and his passenger had been asked to exit the vehicle to search the truck when an officer saw a baggie of methamphetamine on the ground next to Brinegar, who had tried to discard it. Brinegar was also found to have a second baggie of methamphetamine in his pants pocket.
A search of the truck revealed hypodermic syringes, digital scales with methamphetamine residue and three firearms, including a loaded .380 handgun in the cab of the truck, an unloaded .12-gauge shotgun and an unloaded .22 Magnum revolver in the toolbox of the truck.
Brinegar was arrested and transported to the Lawrence County Jail for the following charges,
- Possession of Methamphetamine with a Firearm (Level 5 Felony)
- Possession of a Firearm by a Serious Violent Felon (Level 4 Felony)
- Obstruction of Justice (Level 6 Felony)
- Possession of a Handgun without a permit (Class A Misdemeanor)
Anyone with information on illegal drug activity is requested and encouraged to call the Indiana State Police Bloomington Post at 812-332-4411. | 2022-06-08T03:44:15+00:00 | cbs4indy.com | https://cbs4indy.com/indiana-news/bedford-man-arrested-after-dealing-meth-while-out-of-jail-on-bond/ |

("VBI," NASDAQ: VBIV), the Company is progressing multiple combination studies for the treatment of HBV to improve the probability of achieving a high rate of functional cure for chronic HBV patients in China. China has the largest prevalence of HBV in the world, with 87 million people impacted by this disease, yet there is no effective functional cure currently available for patients.
- BRII-179 (VBI-2601) in Combination with BRII-835 (VIR-2218) (Study conducted by Brii Bio)
- BRII-179 (VBI-2601) in Combination with PEG-IFN-α (Study conducted by Brii Bio)

- VIR-2218 (BRII-835) in Combination with VIR-3434 (BRII-877) (MARCH Study conducted by Vir)
Postpartum Depression (PPD) Program and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) (U.S. team core project)
Brii Bio is developing its internally-discovered BRII-296 therapeutic candidate as a first-of-its-kind one-time injection treatment with the potential to expand the PPD and MDD treatment landscapes for patients in the U.S.
- BRII-296
- BRII-297
Additional Clinical and Pre-Clinical Development Updates
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Program
- BRII-732
- BRII-753
- BRII-778
Multidrug- and Extensively Drug-Resistant (MDR/XDR) Gram-negative Bacteria Infections Program
- BRII-693 (QPX-9003)
- BRII-672 (ORAvance™)
- BRII-636 (OMNIvance®)
Non-tuberculous Mycobacterial (NTM) Lung Disease Program
- BRII-658 (epetraborole)
COVID-19 Program
- Following commercial launch in July 2022, Brii Bio sold substantially all available products of the amubarvimab/romlusevimab combination, with distribution to 25 provinces and 358 hospitals, with a revenue of RMB51.6 million. And as part of its commitment to ensuring humanitarian access and contributing to the containment of the pandemic outbreak, the Company donated nearly 3,000 doses for emergency use to 21 cities and 22 hospitals in China prior to the commercial launch.
- In January 2023, the amubarvimab/romlusevimab combination is the recommended antiviral treatment for COVID-19 in both the 10th COVID-19 Diagnosis and Treatment Guideline and the 4th COVID-19 Diagnosis and Treatment Protocol for Severe/Critical Cases.
- The Company has made the decision to discontinue its amubarvimab/romlusevimab antibody combination program and has stopped manufacturing efforts in order to redirect resources to high-priority programs. This determination is based on the constantly evolving COVID-19 trends including the upcoming expiration of the federal Public Health Emergency (PHE) by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) in May 2023, as well as protracted regulatory inspections at our CDMO sites. The Company is working with the U.S. FDA to withdraw the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) application at an appropriate time following the completion of activities required by the regulatory authority and also with the China NMPA to withdraw the Biologics License Application (BLA) in the third quarter of 2023 once all necessary regulatory requirements have been completed. No significant revenue is expected in the future from the commercialization of amubarvimab/romlusevimab injection combination either in China or in the U.S. and other territories.
Full Year 2022 Financial Results
- The revenues increased by RMB51.6 million from nil for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was due to the commercialization of the long-acting amubarvimab/romlusevimab combination therapy in China for the treatment of COVID-19.
- Other income was RMB107.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, representing an increase of RMB8.9 million or 9.0%, compared with RMB99.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was mainly due to the increase in bank interest income of RMB30.7 million attributable to the increased bank and cash balances after the Global Offering. The increase was partially offset by the decrease in income recognized from PRC government grants.
- Research and development expenses were RMB440.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, representing a decrease of RMB54.0 million, or 10.9%, compared with RMB494.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in third party contracting costs relating to COVID-19 programs. It was partially offset by the increase in the employee cost for our continuous development in clinical trials.
- Selling and marketing expenses increased by RMB26.9 million from nil for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to the commercialization of COVID-19 therapy.
- Administrative expenses were RMB168.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, representing a decrease of RMB39.8 million, or 19.1%, compared with RMB208.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in the employee costs.
- Total comprehensive expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 was RMB238.5 million, representing a decrease of RMB4,010.5 million, or 94.4%, compared with RMB4,249.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in fair value loss on financial liabilities at FVTPL.

- Based on a review of nearly 75% of the target enrollment of 640 patients, most of which have reached 90 days, the Independent DSMB overseeing the ACTIV-3b (TESICO) study determined that evaluation of aviptadil should cease due to futility
- ZYESAMI® (aviptadil) was the sole remaining investigational medicine in ACTIV-3b targeted at Critical COVID-19 patients
- ACTIV-3b Critical Care Study evaluated ZYESAMI and Veklury® (remdesivir), in Critical COVID-19 Patients, as monotherapy and in combination against placebo
- The DSMB stated there were no safety concerns for aviptadil
RADNOR, Pa., May 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: NRXP) ("NRx Pharmaceuticals"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced results of a review conducted by the Data Safety and Monitoring Board (DSMB) on May 25, 2022. The DSMB reviewed data of approximately 460 patients with Critical COVID-19 Respiratory Failure who were enrolled in the ACTIV-3b (TESICO) trial, most of which had reached the 90-day endpoint. The trial is sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health.
The DSMB recommended stopping further randomization to aviptadil due to aviptadil not meeting the futility guidelines outlined by the pre-approved analytical plan. The primary endpoint (90 day 6-category ordinal score) was not supportive (OR 1.10; 0.79 – 1.54; p=0.56), and 90-day mortality secondary endpoint was also not supportive with 37% mortality in the aviptadil group vs 36% in the placebo group; HR 1.04 (0.77-1.41); p=0.79. There were no safety concerns, the known side effects of aviptadil (principally diarrhea and hypotension) were managed well with the protocols in place.
"We thank the NIH and the Trial Leadership for its extensive work in studying ZYESAMI® (aviptadil). We will continue to work closely with them to better understand the data over the coming months. This will also enable us to evaluate the options for ZYESAMI® in protecting the lung in other respiratory disorders, as well as its potential in other therapeutic areas," said Robert Besthof, Interim CEO of NRx Pharmaceuticals. "Critical COVID-19 remains a very high unmet need associated with significant mortality. "
"Our corporate focus remains to apply innovative science to known molecules in order to address very high unmet needs. We have a flexible infrastructure that allows us to focus our resources on our Breakthrough Therapy designation drug NRX-101. We are already actively enrolling patients in our Phase II study for bipolar depression in patients with Sub-acute Suicidal Ideation & Behavior (SSIB) and in the second half of the year we intend to start our Phase IIb/III registrational study for Severe Bipolar Depression in Patients with Acute Suicidal Ideation and Behavior (ASIB).

CLEVELAND —- JP Sears finally gave up a run. After starting his big league career with 12.2 scoreless innings, Sears was charged with a run in the Yankees 2-0 loss to the Guardians on Sunday.
The Yankees lefty was just activated Sunday morning to take the spot of Ron Marinaccio, who was placed on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation. Sears has been a starter of late, but Boone sees this as a chance to use him in different spots.
Sunday, he pitched 2.2 innings, allowing a run on three hits. He struck out one.
“A number of different roles,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said when asked what Sears’ role would be. " Obviously, he’s built up as a starter and we’ve seen him start for us. So, it could be in long relief on a day where we need a lot of innings but it very much could be like a Marinaccio-type role or even on a given day, some high leverage situation.
“So I have a lot of confidence in him, and certainly where he’s at in his development and the kind of season that he’s having,” Boone said. “So we feel like we’re adding the guy that isn’t just filling a roster spot for us but can absolutely have an impact for us in the stretch.” Sears began the season with the Yankees and made just two appearances, both scoreless. He made two spot starts and pitched 10.2 scoreless innings.
Sears was part of the Yankees’ plans to manage the workload of Luis Severino, who pitched just 27.2 innings over the last three years because of injuries, and Nestor Cortes, who has never pitched more than 93 innings in a season, along with Clarke Schmidt and eventually Domingo German. This move doesn’t necessarily change that.
“I mean, obviously Clark’s made one start down there, he’ll make another start. So try and get him built up to be an option in that way, but I wouldn’t rule out JP doing that also still,” Boone said. “We’ll see what we need over this next stretch. Obviously, we’re going into an off day tomorrow. And then we have an off day next Monday. And then we have the all star break. So maybe its not that immediate need but again, the season can change on a dime, and so we’ll be ready for that and JP still remains an option for that.”
REBUILDING CHAPMAN
The Yankees feel the only way Aroldis Chapman can get back to being effective on the mound is to pitch. So the former closer, who walked three batters and was pulled on Saturday, will be back out there soon.
“I brought him in obviously with the big lead there in the seventh,” Boone said. “So again, just looking to get him in situations where he can be successful. Want to get them back out there. Not necessarily force it back out there today or tomorrow or Tuesday or whatever but definitely want to get him back out there and in these situations because physically I feel like he’s in a pretty good spot and the work we’re seeing and inside stuff has been really good. Now we just got to get over that hump of having to translate again, on the field.”
Saturday was Chapman’s first appearance since going on the IL in May.
INJURY UPDATES
Domingo German was scheduled to start Sunday for Double-A, his third minor-league rehab start. He is expected to make at least one more and likely two. His rehab assignment clock would expire just after the All-Star break. That would coincide with when the Yankees really have to start thinking about managing Severino and Cortes’ innings and German could be a solution for that.
German began the season on the IL with right shoulder impingement syndrome.
Jonathan Loaisiga threw a live batting practice in Tampa on Saturday. The righthander has been on the IL with right shoulder inflammation since late May.
“I heard it went well. I think he threw about 21 pitches.I heard he threw the ball really well. Which will be in line with what we’ve been seeing in his bullpen and stuff,” Boone said. “He looks really good.”Boone said that Loaisiga will have another live BP in Tampa on Tuesday and then the Yankees will evaluate whether it is time for him to begin his rehab assignment.
Catcher Ben Rortvedt, who had arthroscopic knee surgery in May, has begin baseball activities and is also nearing a rehab assignment.
“He had live at bats yesterday, I believe and I know he caught some pens and started his running progression and stuff so he’s getting close,” Boone said. “The fact that he had live ABs yesterday I would say he’s probably getting close to to being ready for some game action.”
Rortvedt is the catcher who came with Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Josh Donaldson in the trade that sent Gary Sanchez and Gio Urshela to the Twins.
BANUELOS BACK
The Yankees could see Manny Banuelos again fairly soon. The lefty who finally made his pinstripe debut, nine years after he was signed out of Mexico as a phenom last month, was dealt to the Pirates Sunday afternoon. Banuelos had been designated for assignment last week.
The Yankees received “cash considerations,” back for Banuelos.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI)- The city of Terre Haute is exploring the idea of adding a sports complex and aquatic center thanks to a new grant.
The city is eyeing the east side of town for its location. The sports complex would include baseball, soccer and football field. The center also hopes to include space for the Terre Haute Rex Baseball Team.
The other portion of the complex will include a water park or feature.
Right now, Mayor Duke Bennett said the city is using a grant from Indiana's Regional Economic Acceleration & Development Initiative to explore the best way to create the project.
"We were only able to secure $50,000 for a feasibility study that we were starting to get ready to anyway," he said. "That will pay for that. That'll put us in a position to know just how big and what are competition is. Those kind of things as we figure out just exactly what this looks like." | 2022-06-29T22:02:34+00:00 | wthitv.com | https://www.wthitv.com/news/terre-haute-exploring-possibility-of-new-sports-water-complex/article_7af27340-f7df-11ec-9e41-c30908e6d5ad.html |

A quarter of US service members have been food insecure, new report finds
By Haley Britzky, CNN
Just over a quarter of US service members have experienced food insecurity in recent years, according to a new report from the RAND Corporation.
The report, released this week, said that 25.8% of Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard personnel were food insecure. More than half of that percentage — 15.4% — were active duty troops.
“We were surprised at the estimate. … I mean that’s a lot of people,” Dr. Beth Asch, a senior economist at RAND and the lead author of the report, told CNN.
RAND’s research was requested by the Defense Department, the report says, after the DOD was mandated by Congress in the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act to report on food insecurity among service members.
The report from RAND looked at data from 2016 and 2018 reports from the Pentagon over the active duty force to come to their estimate, which Asch said was virtually the same as the Defense Department’s 2020 estimate. While they were unable to include the 2020 report in their own study, Asch said the estimate of around 25% of service members is the most current assessment available.
Financial insecurity is not a new concern for service members. The issue was addressed in 2021 by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who directed the temporary increase of basic housing allowance in some high-cost areas and said the military would provide relief “to alleviate economic insecurity.”
“Our men and women in uniform and their families have enough to worry about,” Austin said at the time. “Basic necessities like food and housing shouldn’t be among them.”
While putting together their report, RAND held conversations with military commanders, on-base officials who worked on financial planning, and community providers. In those conversations, the report says that nearly everyone they spoke with agreed that food insecurity was a problem among active duty troops, but there were “wide disagreements” on the prevalence of the issue.
One person at a military installation told RAND that food insecurity “has always been something that’s come up.” Another person said that the issue of food insecurity is “bigger than we can even get our arms around.”
“As compared to the general population, certainly the poverty experience is very different,” a military installation representative told RAND. “Service members aren’t living in poverty in the same way. But … it’s also the dirty little secret: that there are service members with families and children making the salary of an E-4 who need help getting food on the table.”
But it’s been difficult for outside organizations and the DOD to understand where the insecurity is stemming from. Asch said the causes are not clear and that was one of the things they left the survey not quite having a handle on, primarily because it was not a part of what they were asked to research by the Defense Department. But understanding the why will be crucial to being able to stop it, she said.
“What we did look at suggests there’s a myriad of underlying causes,” she said. “And I guess the question is, to what extent those causes are specific to being military. What I mean by that is we know that military personnel move around a lot, they’re asked to change locations every few years, and that can have a financial impact on the spouse and their spouse employment. … Is there something about that, about military service, that’s driving that? We just don’t know. We suspect there could be those factors, but there could be other factors.”
Indeed, those who spoke with RAND for the report pointed to a number of possible causes.
The report identified multiple barriers to service members receiving assistance including the stigma surrounding asking for help, with troops believing that if they seek out assistance their careers will be negatively impacted. The report also said that the military’s culture of “self-sufficiency and pride has kept members from seeking help for food or financial insecurity,” and that troops are afraid of being viewed negatively by their leadership for doing so.
Spousal employment issues, especially when combined with challenges from Covid-19 and permanent change of station (PCS) moves, was another significant issue that respondents said contributed to food insecurity and financial challenges.
Still, multiple people who spoke with RAND pointed to an inability from some service members to make and stick to a budget, and a lack of awareness of financial management.
“I think if you look at the cars that are on base, you know there are people who are overextending themselves,” an installation representative said in the report. “Some of it is the materialistic component of our society and keeping up with the Joneses. The same thing that happens outside the gates of the base happens here, too.”
Ultimately, it’s unlikely that there will “be one silver bullet” to fix the issue, Asch said. She pointed even to the way that the surveys are conducted, saying there should be consideration for if the way families are surveyed about food insecurity is the best way to go about it. She also said that more data is needed to really understand more about the problem.
But either way, she said, it’s clear there is a problem.
“I think that the estimate is high, and that is worthy of attention,” Asch said. “But I also think that one needs to recognize that before launching into a full-out assault on the problem, it needs to have a clear understanding of why this problem is happening.”

NOBLESVILLE, Ind. – Even if you have never experienced the sticker shock of purchasing feminine hygiene products at a store, your mom, spouse, daughter, or sister probably has.
The words “period” or “menstruation” might immediately make you feel uncomfortable, but the phenomenon is one that billions of people across the world face.
Unfortunately, the items needed for this monthly cycle can be extremely expensive. Now, one Carmel teenager is working to support her community by addressing “period poverty.”
13-year-old middle schooler Maren Sander is collecting boxes of pads and tampons to add to Carmel Middle School’s Pantry Packs program. This program provides food for students in need, and now, it will provide menstrual products as well.
“Period poverty” is a term that refers to the inherent expense of feminine hygiene products, and the fact that many simply cannot afford to purchase the needed items each month.
And, if people do not have access to these items, they can face serious health concerns such as infections, reproductive illnesses, and mental health challenges.
Through Sander’s efforts, students in need will take home some hygiene products every month, along with their food. She says, “Even if the girls haven’t started their periods, there is probably another woman in the family who could use the products.”
Eventually, the teen plans to extend her program to Clay Middle School and Creekside Middle School as well. You can support her efforts by donating items found here. | 2023-05-25T19:08:57+00:00 | wibc.com | https://wibc.com/152240/carmel-teenager-addresses-period-poverty/ |
Combining proprietary and Enverus data enables intelligent connections for the discovery of previously unseen opportunities and insights
AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Enverus, the most trusted energy-dedicated SaaS company, has unveiled Fusion Connect, providing customers a new way to integrate their own proprietary data with Enverus data inside PRISM, Enverus' hallmark energy decision-making platform. For early adopters, the breakthrough is already saving time, resources and improving multi-disciplinary collaboration. These intelligent connections enable companies to act fast and deliver extraordinary outcomes and value that were not previously possible — an incredibly important development in today's rapidly changing energy ecosystem.
The challenge that Fusion Connect overcomes is most immediately evident among oil and gas operators owing to their need for highly precise data to guide and de-risk capital-intensive and time-sensitive decisions. These customers often hold unique, proprietary data, based on their own internal calculations, such as internal Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR), well landing intervals, working interests or land expiration schedules which vary from available public data or curated third-party analytics. These data sets need to be compared to unbiased third-party data to verify findings or to identify outliers or data gaps.
Unfortunately, blending vendor analytics and proprietary data is time consuming, onerous and costly, preventing detailed workflows from contributing to high level workflows and vice versa. And that means teams spend valuable time on data integration activities rather than focusing on finding answers to drive business outcomes. Until now.
"The struggle to make data available and turn it into valuable insights is what we refer to as an information disconnect," said Colin Westmoreland, chief innovation officer at Enverus. "For years, the oil and gas industry has struggled with closing that gap between data and value creation. Not only is data integration currently slow, it's not built for cross-team collaboration either, creating silos within the customer organization. Assets are then not valued correctly, peer benchmarking is ineffective and asset design changes aren't optimal or — even worse — never identified at all. Fusion Connect solves all of that and will benefit an entire organization including supply chain, operations, investors, land management and beyond. The possibilities with Fusion Connect are endless."
Fusion Connect allows companies to quickly and easily integrate their proprietary data directly into PRISM, unlocking a new level of value no other provider can offer — access to Enverus data built upon 20 years of market intelligence and machine learning in a platform designed for cross-team collaboration with the most current insights. Faster knowledge sharing across analyst, asset, geology and engineering teams and precise insights drive better business decisions across the entire asset lifecycle, from more accurate evaluations and optimal well designs to monitoring and development strategy.
The announcement arrives as Enverus emphasizes its commitment to intelligent connections which bring together the analytics, people, experience and industry scope to connect the right data and information in the right way to discover previously unseen insights and opportunities, act fast and deliver extraordinary outcomes.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden said Friday he would fight to preserve access to abortion after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, and he called on Americans to elect more Democrats who would safeguard rights upended by the court’s decision. “This is not over,” he declared.
“Let’s be very clear, the health and life of women across this nation are now at risk,” he said from the White House on what he called “a sad day for the court and the country.”
Biden added that “the court has done what it’s never done before — expressly taking away a constitutional right that is so fundamental to so many Americans.”
Republicans and conservative leaders celebrated the culmination of a decades-long campaign to undo the nationwide legalization of abortion that began with Roe v. Wade in 1973.
“Millions of Americans have spent half a century praying, marching and working toward today’s historic victories for the rule of law and for innocent life,” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., an architect of efforts to tilt the Supreme Court to the right.
Although Biden has previously expressed conflicted feelings about abortion, he delivered a forceful defense Friday. Noting that Republican-controlled states now had a clear path to ban abortion even in cases of incest or rape, he said “it just stuns me.”
Since the country will increasingly see a patchwork of policies — with some states restricting abortion and others providing it freely — Biden emphasized that the court decision does not prevent anyone from traveling to end a pregnancy.
“Women must remain free to travel safely to another state to seek the care they need,” he said. “And my administration will defend that bedrock right.”
Biden warned that other legal precedents ensuring same-sex marriage and access to birth control could also be at risk.
“This is an extreme and dangerous path this court is taking us on,” he said.
The overturning of Roe v. Wade was not unexpected — a draft of the decision leaked nearly two months ago — but it still reverberated throughout Washington in what has suddenly become a new era in the country’s battle over abortion.
The White House and the Justice Department said they would look for ways to blunt the impact of the ruling, and Biden said his administration would try to ensure that abortion medication is available as widely as possible.
However, no executive actions were announced Friday, and Biden conceded that his options were limited. White House officials tried to rally allies in a virtual meeting after the president spoke.
“We need to stay united,” said Emmy Ruiz, the director of political strategy and outreach. “We know that the task ahead is incredibly daunting. But we’re prepared to meet the moment.”
Protesters converged on the Supreme Court, where a crowd of abortion-rights supporters quickly swelled to the hundreds. One chanted into a bullhorn, “legal abortion on demand” and “this decision must not stand.” Some shouted “the Supreme Court is illegitimate.”
“It’s a painful day for those of us who support women’s rights,” said Laura Free, an Ithaca, New York, resident and women’s rights historian who came to Washington to do research. When she learned of the decision, she said, “I had to come here.”
A competing faction demonstrated in favor of the ruling, holding signs saying “the future is anti-abortion″ and “dismember Roe.”
Garrett Bess, with Heritage Action for America, a lobbying arm of the conservative Heritage Foundation, said his organization would be working in states to continue efforts to limit abortion.
“This has been a long time coming,” he said.
Biden and other Democrats hope to use outrage over the court decision to rally voters in November’s midterm elections. Although nationwide legislation ensuring access to abortion appears out of reach, more Democratic victories at the state level could limit Republican efforts to ban the practice.
“Congress must act, and with your vote, you can act,” Biden said. “You can have the final word.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said the court’s ruling “is outrageous and heart-wrenching” and fulfills the Republican Party’s “dark and extreme goal of ripping away women’s right to make their own reproductive health decisions.”
In a statement, Attorney General Merrick Garland said the Justice Department “will work tirelessly to protect and advance reproductive freedom.” He said that in addition to protecting providers and those seeking abortions in states where it remains legal, “we stand ready to work with other arms of the federal government that seek to use their lawful authorities to protect and preserve access to reproductive care.”
He also noted that the Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of mifepristone, a drug used to end pregnancies.
“States may not ban mifepristone based on disagreement with the FDA’s expert judgment about its safety and efficacy,” Garland said.
Lawrence Gostin, who runs the O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health at Georgetown Law, said he was disappointed that the president did not announce more concrete steps.
“He was very ambiguous about what he planned to do,” he said. “There was no really decisive, strategic plan of action that the administration was going to take.”
Gostin said he’s discussed a variety of options with administration officials but believes they are “gun-shy” given the potential for legal challenges that could lead to more roadblocks from a Supreme Court dominated by conservatives.
Some of Gostin’s suggestions included having Medicaid cover the cost of traveling across state lines to end pregnancies, as well as expanding access to abortion medication that can be delivered by mail.
The Rev. John Dorhauer, the general minister and president of the United Church of Christ, drove from Cleveland to Washington to attend one meeting earlier this month. Another virtual meeting was held this week, featuring Vice President Kamala Harris.
“It was rather impressive to see the commitment the White House and the vice president’s office has had to gather advocates from around the country,” Dorhauer said.
But even before the ruling, there were concerns that the administration was not ready.
Dr. Colleen McNicholas, chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri, said she expects “a true health crisis.”
“I think that we should have been preparing for far longer than we have been,” McNicholas said. “Do I think that they recognize that this a problem? Yes. Do I think that they’re prepared in this moment? No.”

DALLAS, Jan. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In its second season of supporting drivers across motorsports racing, the Worldwide Express family of brands will sponsor 17-year-old Emily Arenas and the No. 3 Legend Car as part of the WWEX Racing program.
One of the fastest-growing segments of motorsports, the INEX U.S. Legend Cars International series runs races across the country at local and professional motorsports tracks including Las Vegas, Atlanta and Charlotte Motor Speedways. Emily races in the Semi-Pro Division for novice-class for drivers aged 16 and older. In 2022 – her first year piloting a Legend car – she garnered eight wins, 17 top-three finishes and nine top-five finishes across 36 races.
"To have a sponsor like Worldwide Express and the WWEX Racing program help me on this journey to achieve my dream is an opportunity I'm beyond blessed to have and grateful for," Emily said. "With their support, I look forward to learning and becoming better as a driver as I contend with a more challenging group of drivers in my second year of racing."
The WWEX Racing program, an initiative of Worldwide Express, GlobalTranz and Unishippers, currently serves as full-season primary partner of Carson Hocevar and the Niece Motorsports No. 42 Chevrolet Silverado in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. As well, the company will provide partnership for NASCAR Cup Series drivers No. 1 Ross Chastain and No. 99 Daniel Suárez, both of Trackhouse Racing, during the 2023 season.
Additionally, the sister brands serve as Official Logistics Partner of NASCAR and Richmond Raceway, where they are the title sponsor of the Worldwide Express 250 for Carrier Appreciation, being held July 29, 2023.
"WWEX Racing has proven to be a complete racing sponsor that is committed to the development of diverse young drivers," said Nick Arenas, Emily's father and owner of 3Gen Motorsports. "They are truly committed to the sport, the advancement of Emily's career and supporting her chasing her dream. The WWEX Racing team are truly great people and a world-class brand that we are honored to be associated with."
Nick, along with his father Gustavo Arenas, longtime business manager of Suárez, founded 3Gen Motorsports in 2022 as a family endeavor, with a particular focus on ensuring Emily and team maintain a focus on integrity, humility, work ethic and academics.
"I've always taken academics very seriously," Emily said. "What I learn in school, I work to apply on the track as a student of the sport, and I hope that can give me a competitive edge."
Emily will take on the first of nearly 40 races this season beginning January 20 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Road Course.
INEX is the third-largest racing sanctioning body behind NASCAR and International Motor Contest Association (IMCA) and was developed in 1995 to promote, organize and sanction Legend Cars in the United States and abroad.
Worldwide Express, LLC is a full-service, non-asset-based logistics provider offering more than 115,000 customers access to industry-leading small package, truckload and less-than-truckload shipping solutions. With an annual systemwide revenue approaching $5 billion through a network of company-owned, franchise and agent locations, Worldwide Express, combined with its sister brands GlobalTranz and Unishippers, is the second-largest privately held freight brokerage in the country.

A wheel flies near a section of grandstand in the second turn after a collision between Kyle Kirkwood and Felix Rosenqvist during the 107th running of the Indianapolis 500, Sunday, May 28, 2023, at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis.
A wheel flies near a section of grandstand in the second turn after a collision between Kyle Kirkwood and Felix Rosenqvist during the 107th running of the Indianapolis 500, Sunday, May 28, 2023, at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis.
IndyCar will implement a new, stronger piece of hardware designed to keep rear wheels attached to the car during a wreck after a tire flew off Kyle Kirkwood's car and narrowly missed a packed grandstand during the Indianapolis 500.
The series said Wednesday that chassis manufacturer Dallara had designed a retaining nut that is more than 60% stronger than the previous design. The updated retaining nut will be mandatory beginning with this weekend's races at Iowa Speedway.
"Their thorough review process of the incident between the No. 6 and No. 27 (cars) at Indianapolis Motor Speedway began immediately and included an extensive recreation at their headquarters in Italy," IndyCar President Jay Frye said. "IndyCar takes safety very seriously. This update is an important step in making sure an incident like this does not happen again."
IndyCars are designed to come apart upon impact, which helps to dissipate the energy and protect the driver. But they also have tethers that are supposed to keep wheels attached in the event of a wreck, a response to several incidents over the years in which wheels had come off cars and injured — and even killed — spectators on the other side of the catch fence.
During the Indy 500 in May, Kirkwood was trailing Felix Rosenqvist when the latter hit the wall in Turns 1 and 2 in the closing laps of the race. Kirkwood's car launched off the rear of Rosenquist's car and into the fencing, and his rear wheel went flying over the fence and the corner of the grandstand before landing on a fan's car in the parking lot.
Roger Penske, who owns both the series and the speedway, promised afterward a thorough review of the wreck.
"It is Dallara's mission, along with IndyCar and all of the racing series we work with, to maintain and continuously improve safety based upon the highest standards," Dallara chief executive Stefano dePonti said. "After completing a detailed analysis of the accident during this year's Indy 500, together with IndyCar we have reached the conclusion the outcome was the consequence of an unusual and never-experienced set of circumstances.
"Nevertheless," dePonti said, "we have developed and produced new components that will increase the strength of the corner in case the unlikely sequence of events repeats itself." | 2023-07-19T20:55:34+00:00 | wyomingnews.com | https://www.wyomingnews.com/indycar-introduces-stronger-retaining-nut/article_245972fc-266b-11ee-a981-c76549aed1b0.html |
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Five people were fatally shot in the capital of St. Vincent as the eastern Caribbean island struggles with a rise in violent crime, authorities said Thursday.
The victims were killed late Wednesday in Kingstown in an outdoor area near a cruise ship terminal, police said in a statement.
No one has been arrested, and it wasn’t immediately clear what prompted the shooting.
St. Vincent and the Grenadines, a cluster of islands of around 100,000 people, has reported 35 killings so far this year, compared with a record 42 last year.
St. Vincent Police Commissioner Colin John said in a statement that the nation is still a safe place “despite the regrettable spate of violence that we are currently experiencing.”
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves, who is in Morocco on an official trip, posted a video online in reaction to Wednesday night’s shooting. He said authorities will implement additional security measures that he declined to specify for tactical reasons as he condemned what he said was the trafficking of weapons from the U.S.
“We must not panic,” he said. “We must be resolute in fighting the criminals.”
Last month. U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris announced that the U.S. was investing millions of dollars to crack down on weapons trafficking in the Caribbean. The U.S. Justice Department also is expected to appoint a coordinator to oversee arms smuggling to the Caribbean. | 2023-07-21T10:05:59+00:00 | fox59.com | https://fox59.com/news/national-world/ap-international/ap-5-killed-in-st-vincent-as-the-eastern-caribbean-island-fights-a-surge-in-crime/ |
Warren Easton trailed for three quarters against Carencro, before taking the lead in the final quarter, but the eighth-seeded Bears answered with a touchdown to post a 29-26 victory in a select Division I quarterfinal playoff game on Friday night at Pan American Stadium.
The top-seeded Eagles got the ball back after the Bears scored the go-ahead touchdown but didn't make much progress after taking over at their 30-yard line. Instead, with two minutes left the Bears stopped them on downs to hold on for the win.
How it was won
Trailing thanks to a pair of touchdowns and an interception return for a score, Easton (10-2) went into the second half trailing Carencro 22-7.
A switch at quarterback to Greg Donaldson in the second half to try to keep the Carencro (9-2) defense honest paid off as it ignited a run of 19 consecutive points for the Eagles to go on top 26-22 in the fourth quarter.
On the Bears’ final offensive drive , quarterback Chantz Ceaser completed a 58-yard pass to Kendrick Bernard on the first play and punched it in three plays later to take the lead back at 29-26.
Player of the game
Greg Donaldson, Warren Easton: A two-way player who saw minimal offensive action in the first half came alive in the second half as he helped the Eagles flip the game. Donaldson did most of the work on the ground for Easton, rushing 11 times for 76 yards and two touchdowns on consecutive drives. The junior led all Eagles on the ground, with runs of 20, 16 and 14 yards in the game.
They said it
Carencro coach Tony Courville: “This is the third time that we’ve played (Easton), and they’ve kind of been our kryptonite. They’ve ended our season-enders the last two times we’ve been here and this time we finally got past them. ”
Warren Easton coach Jerry Phillips: “We got the ball back with two minutes, and we’ve got to put the ball in the end zone. We started slow as hell, but my guys fought to the end.”
Notable
Easton starting quarterback Keddrick Connelly finished the game completing four passes for 75 yards while rushing for 44 yards.
Carencro’s Ceaser led all players with 92 yards rushing and two touchdowns. He completed just three passes on the night for 83 yards.
The only turnover came on a Chantz Babineaux 35-yard interception return in the second quarter to give the Bears a 14-0 lead.
Carencro advances to the semifinals where they will face Brother Martin, who defeated Northwood Friday night at Tad Gormley. | 2022-11-26T22:29:26+00:00 | theadvocate.com | https://www.theadvocate.com/acadiana/sports/high_schools/carencro-escapes-warren-eastons-comeback-to-advance-to-semifinals/article_358d7c26-6da7-11ed-bce4-736081e0a2f1.html |

HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans used their opener Sunday against Indianapolis to honor and remember the victims of the Uvalde Elementary school shooting.
The Texans hosted the Uvalde high school football team and wore "Uvalde Strong" decals on their helmets after 19 children and two teachers were killed in a shooting there in May.
The team joined with grocery store chain H-E-B to pay for the team to travel the 280 miles from Uvalde and watch the game from a suite. It’s part of the team’s continuing support for the community after donating $400,000 to the Robb Elementary School memorial fund soon after the shooting.
Senior linebacker Justyn Rendon said it was the first time most of his teammates had ever attended an NFL game.
“It means a lot to a lot of these guys just to get away from Uvalde in general and just enjoy being here,” he said. “A lot of these guys may never experience an NFL game like this. So it’s a real big thing.”
Uvalde coach Wade Miller said they want to do whatever they can to continue to honor those who lost their lives in the shooting.
“As far as the memory of 21, it’s important to us,” he said. “We all either lost somebody or knew somebody (that did) and ... we’re like the rest of the world, we just want to help in some way. And hopefully this helps.”
A video recognizing the team was shown on the video board in the stadium during a timeout in the first quarter Sunday. Uvalde players cheered as they were shown on the screens before a message that read: “We stand with Uvalde" flashed on the boards.
A contingent from the Texans including linebackers Christian Kirksey and Kamu Grugier-Hill visited Uvalde earlier this month and surprised the team with new uniforms provided by Nike during a team dinner. Miller has been overwhelmed by the support the Texans have give his team.
“It’s unbelievable,” he said. “You live out in a small southwest Texas town, and to know people care about us and when these guys find out that those guys want to know what their score is, it means the world.”
Uvalde is about 280 miles from Houston.
Rendon was asked if he was a Texans fan before the game. He paused and looked sheepish before answering.
“I’ll be totally honest, I’m 49ers fan,” he said. “But it’s just amazing and wonderful what the Texans have done for us and the whole city of Houston, too.”
Added Miller: “We have a lot of fans on our team of a bunch of different teams — but we’re all Texans fans now.”
Both Miller and Rendon spoke about how sports has helped the city find a distraction and try to heal in the wake of such an unthinkable tragedy. Rendon takes special pride in wearing No. 21 on his jersey to remember the victims every time he takes the field.
“It means a lot, especially to the city of Uvalde just being able to run out on Friday nights and represent the 21 lives that were lost on May 24,” he said. “I’m representing them on and off the field."

Lake, in a 2 1/2-minute video, made no mention of giving up in her most extensive public comments since losing the election. Before the election, she had refused to say that she would concede if she lost the race to Democrat Katie Hobbs.
“Rest assured I have assembled the best and brightest legal team, and we are exploring every avenue to correct the many wrongs that have been done this past week,” Lake said. “I’m doing everything in my power to right these wrongs.”
She pointed to long lines at some polling places that were exacerbated by problems with ballot printers at about a third of the vote centers in Maricopa County, the largest county in the state. She said the problems disenfranchised voters who couldn’t wait at the polls.
“What happened to Arizonans on Election Day is unforgivable,” she said.
County election officials said that all ballots were counted and that voters could go to any polling place in the county, many of which had little to no line, with wait times posted online.
Election officials traced the problems to a printer setting that sometimes led to ballots printing too lightly for the on-site tabulators to read. They said they used the same settings in the August primary and for pre-election testing and there were no widespread issues.
About 17,000 ballots were not scanned at precinct-based vote counters and were instead placed in a collection box to be counted by more sophisticated machines at the county’s election headquarters. The collection box has come to be known as “box three.”
Bill Gates, the Republican chair of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, has blamed state GOP chair Kelli Ward and other prominent Republicans for causing delays and long lines because they told their supporters not to use box three.
“This team, we have accepted our responsibility in this,” Gates said Monday. “But I’m not willing to accept responsibility for issues that were caused by others. And it is clear to me that those lines were longer because leaders in one political party were spreading misinformation.”
Republicans asked a judge to extend the hours at polling places because of the issues. The judge declined, saying they presented no evidence anyone was disenfranchised.
Democrats voted overwhelmingly via ballots received in the mail. In-person Election Day votes heavily favored the GOP because Lake and other prominent Republicans had claimed it was more secure, which election experts dispute.
Lake has said little since The Associated Press and other news organizations called the race for Hobbs on Monday. Late Wednesday, she posted video with clips from the campaign trail set to the lyrics, “I won’t back down.”
Her video Thursday said Hobbs, who is currently secretary of state, should have recused herself from any role in the election. The secretary of state creates election procedures and certifies equipment, but her office does not count ballots, a task that is done by the state’s 15 counties.

BEIJING (AP) — A Chinese envoy was preparing Monday to visit Ukraine and Russia, but there appeared to be little chance of a breakthrough to end the 15-month-long invasion.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s government says it is neutral and wants to play a role as mediator, but has given Moscow political support. Beijing released a proposed peace plan in February, but that was largely dismissed by Ukraine’s allies, who insist Russian President Vladimir Putin’s forces must withdraw.
Li Hui, a former ambassador to Moscow, also will visit Poland, France and Germany, according to the foreign ministry. It gave no other schedule details.
Political analysts see little hope for a peace agreement because neither Ukraine nor Russia is ready to stop fighting. They say by sending an envoy, China appears to be trying to neutralize criticism of its friendship with Putin and to split European allies away from Washington.
Xi spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy by phone in April, setting the stage for the diplomatic push.
The trip “expresses China’s commitment to promoting peace and negotiations,” foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said Friday. Wang said China wishes to prevent an “escalation of the situation.”
Beijing previously avoided involvement in conflicts between other countries but appears to be asserting itself as a global diplomatic force after arranging talks between Saudi Arabia and Iran in March that led them to restore diplomatic relations following a seven-year break.
China has friendly relations with Moscow as well as economic leverage as the biggest buyer of Russian oil and gas after the United States and its allies cut off most purchases.
Xi’s government sees Moscow as a diplomatic partner in opposing U.S. domination of global affairs. Beijing has refused to criticize the February 2022 invasion and used its status as one of five permanent United Nations Security Council members to deflect diplomatic attacks on Russia. | 2023-05-15T22:45:55+00:00 | wearegreenbay.com | https://www.wearegreenbay.com/international/ap-international/chinas-ukraine-envoy-due-to-start-europe-trip/ |
JOHNSON, Vt. — It's hard for me to express the amount of admiration I have for Dawn and Greg Tatro.
After losing their daughter to an overdose, Dawn and Greg Tatro set out to not only help people in recovery but also change how it's done.
The organization, Jenna's Promise, is named in honor of their daughter.
"One just said to me again tonight, he goes, 'I used to come to Johnson (Vermont) for drugs.' Now, he goes, 'I come to Johnson for recovery.' He goes, 'It's pretty awesome," Dawn said.
The Tatros' dreams of expanding how they help people have expanded over the course of a year. They now have a café that employs their residents and a health center.
"Once you get that veil of addiction off their, off their, face and you see the real person come out, it's incredible," said Greg.
The best part they say is how the town has embraced its residents. By going to the cafe, the people are actively participating in their recovery. It's a true, "It takes a village" mentality, playing out in real-time.
"It's cleaning the town up," said Dawn. "It's helping people and, uh, and it's creating this community."
Will Eberle is the executive director of the Vermont Association of Mental Health and Recovery.
"Unfortunately, we're still tracking at a very high rate of overdose deaths in Vermont. Currently, we have, according to our latest statistics, 151 overdose fatalities in Vermont through August of this year, and around 80% of those have included fentanyl," Eberle said.
There's no national data out yet for 2022, but with the prevalence of fentanyl across the nation, experts like Eberle are expecting it to be another year of tragically high numbers nationwide.
However, just like Dawn and Greg have seen, Will says the good news is that he's seeing less stigma as communities step up.
"Over time, it's starting to become sort of the community's business to work on these things more than the recovery sectors business, which is very heartening to see," he said.
The Tatros and Eberle believe the only way to completely flip the script on addiction and overdose deaths is for everyone to realize they have a role and to invest in the people and the places impacted.
They're hoping next year, even more communities see the value in the people working to make their lives better.
"It seems so simple, but to believe in someone, it's sometimes really what they need," said Dawn. | 2022-12-23T20:01:40+00:00 | ktvq.com | https://www.ktvq.com/news/national-politics/the-race/recovery-advocates-hope-to-keep-seeing-reduction-in-addiction-stigma |
WASHINGTON (AP) — A bipartisan group of U.S. senators introduced legislation Wednesday to overhaul oversight and bring greater transparency to the crisis-plagued federal Bureau of Prisons following reporting from The Associated Press that exposed systemic corruption in the federal prison system and increased congressional scrutiny.
The bill, called the Federal Prison Oversight Act, would require the Justice Department to create a prisons ombudsman to field complaints about prison conditions, and would compel the department’s inspector general to evaluate risks and abuses at all 122 federal prison facilities.
The bill, sponsored by Sens. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., Mike Braun, R-Ind., and Dick Durbin, D-Ill., is being introduced a day before Bureau of Prisons Director Colette Peters is scheduled to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee, which Durbin chairs.
Ossoff, Braun and Durbin are three founding members of the Senate Bipartisan Prison Policy Working Group. The panel launched in February amid turmoil at the Bureau of Prisons, much of it uncovered by AP reporting, including rampant sexual abuse and other criminal misconduct by staff, chronic understaffing, escapes and deaths.
“It’s no secret that BOP has been plagued by misconduct,” Durbin said. “One investigation after another has revealed a culture of abuse, mismanagement, corruption, torture, and death that reaches to the highest levels. And yet it still operates without any meaningful independent oversight. The result has been catastrophic for both incarcerated people and staff.”
A companion bill in the House is sponsored by Reps. Kelly Armstrong, R-N.D. and Reps. Lucy McBath, D-Ga.
Under the Federal Prison Oversight Act, the Justice Department’s inspector general would be required to conduct risk-based inspections of all federal prison facilities, provide recommendations to address deficiencies and assign each facility a risk score. Higher-risk facilities would then receive more frequent inspections.
The inspector general would also be required to report findings and recommendations to Congress and the public, and the Bureau of Prisons would then need to respond with a corrective action plan within 60 days.
A prison ombudsman would be established to take complaints — via a secure hotline and online form — and investigate and report to the attorney general and Congress dangerous conditions affecting the health, safety, welfare and rights of inmates and staff.
A spokesman for the Justice Department said Wednesday that the agency was reviewing the legislation. A spokesperson for Inspector General Michael Horowitz declined to comment.
The reforms have the backing of a wide array of groups involved in the federal prison system and across the political spectrum, including the correctional officers’ union, the inmate advocacy group Families Against Mandatory Minimums, the American Conservative Union and the Koch brothers-backed Americans for Prosperity.
“Families with incarcerated loved ones for years have been calling for greater transparency, safety and accountable from our federal prisons,” FAMM President Kevin Ring said. “The bipartisan bill introduced today answers their calls.”
Shane Fausey, the president of the Council of Prison Locals union, is also scheduled to testify Thursday, along with the former head of Pennsylvania’s state prison system, John Wetzel, and Cecilia Cardenas, a former federal inmate.
Ossoff has been leading an investigation of the Bureau of Prisons as chair of the Senate Homeland Security panel’s subcommittee on investigations. Recent hearings have spotlighted misconduct and abuse at a federal penitentiary in Atlanta and the Justice Department’s failure to properly account for in-custody deaths.
In July, Ossoff and the panel’s top Republican, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., grilled then-Bureau of Prisons Director Michael Carvajal as he refused to accept responsibility for a culture of corruption and misconduct that has plagued his agency for years.
“My 10-month bipartisan investigation of corruption, abuse, and misconduct in the Federal prison system revealed an urgent need to overhaul federal prison oversight. I am bringing Democrats and Republicans together to crack down on corruption, strengthen public safety, and protect civil rights,” Ossoff said. | 2022-09-29T20:04:20+00:00 | qcnews.com | https://www.qcnews.com/news/politics/election/ap-senators-push-new-oversight-to-combat-federal-prison-crises/ |
BOSTON (AP) — Adam Duvall ended the game with his second two-run homer after left fielder Ryan McKenna dropped a two-out fly in the ninth, giving the Boston Red Sox a 9-8 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday.

Duvall had four hits and five RBIs.
Baltimore stole five bases and became the first team to steal 10 in its first two games since at least 1901. Jorge Mateo swiped two, and Cedric Mullins, Ryan McKenna and Austin Hays one each.
Mullins hit a three-run homer, Ryan Mountcastle had a two-run shot and the Orioles tagged Chris Sale for seven runs over three innings in his first Fenway Park start since 2021.

Baltimore led 8-7 when McKenna dropped Masataka Yoshida’s routine fly. Duvall lined hit shot just over the Green Monster against Félix Bautista (0-1).
Hays went 5 for 5 with a solo shot for the Orioles, who won Thursday's opener 10-9 after opening a six-run lead.
Baltimore took a 7-1 lead on Mullins homer before Boston rallied behind Duvall, who fell a single shy of the cycle. Rafael Devers had three hits and Alex Verdugo a two-homer homer for the Red Sox, who cut it to 8-7 in the seventh on Duvall's RBI double.
Making his first start in Fenway since a loss in Game 5 of the 2021 AL Championship Series, Sale gave up three homers. He did have six strikeouts, getting Ramón Urías three of his five times. Kenley Jansen (1-0) got the win.

Baltimore’s Andy Rutschman went 1 for 5 with a single in his first at-bat after going 5 for 5 and reaching base six times in the opener.
With a very light rain falling and the sun peeking through the clouds, Sale took his warmups in Boston’s bullpen.
About 30 minutes later, he found himself in a 3-0 hole after giving up homers to Mountcastle — a shot into the Green Monster seats on a slider down the middle— and Hays’ drive to center on a 95.7 mph fastball.
Sale made just two starts last year. The left-hander broke the pinkie on his pitching hand when he hit by a line drive from the Yankees’ Aaron Hicks, and Sale's season ended when he broke his right wrist in a bike accident.

THAT’S WHAT IT TAKES
The Red Sox finally got Rutschman out when third baseman Devers made a charging barehand grab on a slow roller, with first baseman Triston Casas making a scoop on a close play with two runners on.

McKenna made a diving catch on Kiké Hernández’s liner after Mountcastle’s diving snag on a grounder of the previous batter, Reese McGuire.

Orioles: Mateo injured his right hand on a headfirst slide but stayed in the game.
Red Sox: RHP Garrett Whitlock (recovering from hip surgery in September) pitched four innings for Triple-A Worcester in a rehab start on Friday. Manager Alex Cora said he’ll start for Double-A Portland next in the Sea Dogs’ opener Thursday and “most likely that’ll be his last one before joining us.”

That's a win for all."

The winner of this year’s Gerber baby photo search competition is 10-month-old Madison “Maddie” Mendoza of Colorado. She made her debut on Wednesday on NBC’s Today show.
Both of her parents come from first-generation families from the Philippines.
Maddie, along with her parents, captured the attention of the judges with their throwback submission that included a photo of Maddie and her mom at that same age.
According to her parents, Maddie came into the world with a full head of hair. She enjoys baby music classes, swim lessons, hiking with her mom and dad, and exploring new food.
“Being a rainbow baby, Maddie has brought us immeasurable joy with every milestone, snuggle and moment spent with her enriching our lives and making every day more meaningful and beautiful,” said Crystal Mendoza, Maddie’s mom. A “rainbow baby” is one who is born after a pregnancy loss.
In addition to being the Gerber Baby for 2023, Maddie wins the title of “Chief Growing Officer,” a new wardrobe from Gerber’s clothing line, a year’s supply of Gerber products and a $25,000 prize. Gerber is also donating $25,000 to the March of Dimes’ maternal and infant health programs, as well as $5,000 to Operation Homefront, which supports military families.
According to Gerber, Maddie’s parents have been together for 22 years since they were high school sweethearts. Maddie’s dad, Jun, is a U.S. Air Force Academy grad and serves as a lieutenant colonel physician in the Air Force. Maddie’s mom works as a dentist. The Mendozas live in Colorado Springs where Jun is stationed. | 2023-07-12T20:54:11+00:00 | nwasianweekly.com | https://nwasianweekly.com/2023/07/10-month-old-filipino-picked-as-2023-gerber-baby/ |
Instagram is testing new ways to verify the age of people using its service, including a face-scanning artificial intelligence tool, having mutual friends verify their age or uploading an ID.
But the tools won’t be used, at least not yet, to block children from the popular photo and video-sharing app. The current test only involves verifying that a user is 18 or older.
The use of face-scanning AI, especially on teenagers, raised some alarm bells Thursday, given the checkered history of Instagram parent Meta when it comes to protecting users’ privacy. Meta stressed that the technology used to verify people’s age cannot recognize one’s identity — only age. Once the age verification is complete, Meta said it and Yoti, the AI contractor it partnered with to conduct the scans, will delete the video.
Meta, which owns Facebook as well as Instagram, said that beginning on Thursday, if someone tries to edit their date of birth on Instagram from under the age of 18 to 18 or over, they will be required to verify their age using one of these methods.
Meta continues to face questions about the negative effects of its products, especially Instagram, on some teens.
Kids technically have to be at least 13 to use Instagram, similar to other social media platforms. But some circumvent this either by lying about their age or by having a parent do so. Teens aged 13 to 17, meanwhile, have additional restrictions on their accounts — for instance, adults they are not connected to can’t send them messages — until they turn 18.
The use of uploaded IDs is not new, but the other two options are. “We are giving people a variety of options to verify their age and seeing what works best,” said Erica Finkle, Meta’s director of data governance and public policy.
To use the face-scanning option, a user has to upload a video selfie. That video is then sent to Yoti, a London-based startup that uses people’s facial features to estimate their age. Finkle said Meta isn’t yet trying to pinpoint under-13s using the technology because it doesn’t keep data on that age group — which would be needed to properly train the AI system. But if Yoti does predict a user is too young for Instagram, they’ll be asked to prove their age or have their account removed, she said.
“It doesn’t ever recognize, uniquely, anyone,” said Julie Dawson, Yoti’s chief policy and regulatory officer. “And the image is instantly deleted once we’ve done it.”
Yoti is one of several biometric companies capitalizing on a push in the United Kingdom and Europe for stronger age verification technology to stop kids from accessing pornography, dating apps and other internet content meant for adults — not to mention bottles of alcohol and other off-limits items at physical stores.
Yoti has been working with several big U.K. supermarkets on face-scanning cameras at self-check-out counters. It has also started verifying the age of users of the youth-oriented French video chatroom app Yubo.
While Instagram is likely to follow through with its promise to delete an applicant’s facial imagery and not try to use it to recognize individual faces, the normalization of face-scanning presents other societal concerns, said Daragh Murray, a senior lecturer at the University of Essex’s law school.
“It’s problematic because there are a lot of known biases with trying to identify by things like age or gender,” Murray said. “You’re essentially looking at a stereotype and people just differ so much.”
A 2019 study by a U.S. agency found that facial recognition technology often performs unevenly based on a person’s race, gender or age. The National Institute of Standards and Technology found higher error rates for the youngest and oldest people. There’s not yet such a benchmark for age-estimating facial analysis, but Yoti’s own published analysis of its results reveals a similar trend, with slightly higher error rates for women and people with darker skin tones.
Meta’s face-scanning move is a departure from what some of its tech competitors are doing. Microsoft on Tuesday said it would stop providing its customers with facial analysis tools that “purport to infer” emotional states and identity attributes such as age or gender, citing concerns about “stereotyping, discrimination, or unfair denial of services.”
Meta itself announced last year that it was shutting down Facebook’s face-recognition system and deleting the faceprints of more than 1 billion people after years of scrutiny from courts and regulators. But it signaled at the time that it wouldn’t give up entirely on analyzing faces, moving away from the broad-based tagging of social media photos that helped popularize commercial use of facial recognition toward “narrower forms of personal authentication.” | 2022-06-24T12:40:41+00:00 | nwahomepage.com | https://www.nwahomepage.com/technology/ap-technology/instagram-tests-using-ai-other-tools-for-age-verification/ |
Best products for hybrid workers
Hybrid working is becoming the default for many workplaces. However, this can lead to problems when you realize what you need is at home when you’re in the office or vice versa. By kitting yourself out with office-on-the-go essentials, you can more easily transition between working from home and working in the office.
If you’re sick of realizing the file you need is still in the office or working less comfortably because you don’t have the right setup, it pays to be prepared. With portable office essentials, you can up your hybrid work vibe.
What is hybrid working?
Hybrid working doesn’t have a single clear definition and can be applied to various modes of working. However, in this article, hybrid working is defined as an individual working some days from home and some days from their in-person office.
Many employers are now offering a hybrid work environment. As employees proved they could work effectively from home during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, many don’t want to return to the office full time. Hybrid working allows employees to enjoy the convenience of working from home some of the time while also being present for tasks that are easier in person.
There’s no set pattern for hybrid working. Some people have set days each week that they come into the office, while others have the flexibility to choose which days they come in or only turn up when necessary.
What are the benefits of hybrid working?
Although hybrid working isn’t a perfect system, it has a range of benefits for employees.
- Less commute time: Commuting is among the worst aspects of in-person work, especially when you live a long way from your place of work or live somewhere with bad rush hour traffic. Since you aren’t working from the office every day, this significantly reduces your commute time over a week.
- Work-life balance: Most people report a better work-life balance from a hybrid working schedule compared to going into the office every day. Not only does the lack of commute help, but many people find they can do household chores on lunch breaks, freeing up the evening for recreation.
- Money saved: Not only will you spend less on gas or public transit, but you may also find you save money by not spending so much on takeout lunches and coffee.
- Reduced isolation: If you feel isolated working from home 100% of the time, hybrid working patterns give you some time in the office to enjoy the social aspect of work. Some people find this works better for them than full-time remote work.
What challenges does hybrid working pose?
Although hybrid working is an excellent solution for many, it still has some flaws. You may find these challenges affect you when spending some time working from home and some time in the office.
- Transporting your stuff: Having two workplaces means you have to cart essential gear from home to the office and back again unless you get two of everything, which isn’t practical.
- Home office setup: If you’ll have a hybrid working pattern for the foreseeable future, you’ll need a decent home office setup. Even if you don’t have a dedicated room you can use as an office, you should have somewhere you can put a desk and a supportive office chair.
- Scheduling issues: It can be hard to keep track of when your colleagues will be in the office and when they won’t, which can lead to scheduling issues.
- Collective creativity: You can often find the best creative ideas and solutions to problems when working collaboratively. This type of collective creativity often flows better in person than on Zoom or other digital platforms.
What makes hybrid working easier?
If you’re struggling with some of the challenges of hybrid working, you’ll be pleased to know about ways to make it easier.
- Portable office gear: A hybrid work schedule is much less stressful when you can simply pack up all your office gear to take it home or to the office. Choose lightweight gear that can be easily packed into a bag for your journey. Don’t overlook basics, such as stationery and file folders.
- Distraction-free home office: For some people, working at home can be a challenge. You need a dedicated spot to work in, whether that’s a full-on home office or a corner of your living room or bedroom. Either way, it should be stocked with everything you need and be as distraction-free as possible.
- Flexibility: Ideally, there should be some flexibility over which days you and your colleagues come into the office and which you spend at home. This makes it easier to get together to work on projects or to stay home when you’d work more effectively there.

Introducing Whiskey JYPSI
Eric Church and partner Raj Alva collaborate with award-winning whiskey maker Ari Sussman to create a disruptive new brand for the "JYPSI spirit" in all of us
With a slogan of "Tradition Reimagined," Whiskey JYPSI leans forward through thoughtful innovation and a reconstruction of traditional practices… but with a contemporary twist… Creating unique whiskeys of stunning character, individuality, and pedigree.
It's more than Tradition Reimagined. It is the Whiskey JYPSI way…and that way is intrepid. - F. Paul Pacult
Judging Chairman & Co-Founder, Ultimate Spirits Challenge
NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Outsiders Spirits unveiled its premiere release today—a bold, new best-in-class spirit that friends and company co-founders Eric Church and entrepreneur Raj Alva have named Whiskey JYPSI - a contemporary interpretation of the "JYPSI Spirit" in all of us that seeks adventure and deeper meaning.
The first release, Whiskey JYPSI's Legacy Batch 001, recently won the Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and is based on a traditional bourbon mash bill. However, instead of blending the grains before fermentation, or sourcing from the usual geographies, Whiskey JYPSI lived up to its name - sourcing individual aged whiskey components from various origins, then scientifically blending them to recreate the mash bill.
The Outsiders partners took a hands-on approach to every aspect of their new whiskey, creating and curating everything from inception to release - from taste, packaging and marketing to point of view. With Whiskey JYPSI, the brand has set out to not only create the finest whiskey, but also to inspire.
"Whiskey JYPSI celebrates doing things the unconventional way. It's the commitment to the creative spirit, the process and the journey that excite me the most" says Church. "It's meant to inspire others to take chances like we have – follow a different path and enjoy and experience life at its fullest."
Whiskey JYPSI has partnered with ReserveBar to make Legacy Batch 001 available in 38 states and with an SRP of $199.99. Due to state legalities, alcohol cannot be shipped to the following states: TN, AL, AK, GA, HI, KS, MA, MI, MS, OR, UT, VT. Retailers in TN will carry product while supplies last. For more information visit www.whiskeyjypsi.com.
As serious whiskey enthusiasts but not yet experts in making it, Outsiders sought the help of experienced masters in the art and science of the spirit who could reimagine the traditional whiskey industry conventions - and bring a series of rich, complex blends of whiskey and bourbon to life in a variety of releases over time. After meetings with various master distillers and blenders, they chose Ari Sussman for their first release.
"I was excited to work with these guys because it all centered on quality and creativity," Sussman notes.
"There were no rules or parameters. It just had to be the finest whiskey possible. Period."
Sussman is the former head of Spirits Development at the Artisan Distilling Program at Michigan State University, and an award-winning whiskey maker. He also has a bit of the JYPSI Spirit in him. Before he entered the whiskey world, Ari worked in the vineyards of Bordeaux, raised ostriches and grew almonds with Bedouin tribes, and lived in an Israeli kibbutz.
Recognizing that extraordinary whiskeys are created every day all over the world, Sussman took Church's lead in departing from industry conventions, with groundbreaking new processes destined to disrupt the category and lead to extraordinary whiskey experiences.
"Eric's music led the way to JYPSI's unique mix," says Sussman. "I immersed myself in Eric's music, thinking it just might influence my process," adds Sussman. "What I discovered was a rich, diverse blend of music and an artist who doesn't conform to the usual norms. That inspired me, so I took that road in creating the premiere batch of Whiskey JYPSI."
The rest of the Whiskey JYPSI team followed suit. From the patented bottle design inspired by traditional copper pot stills, to the untraditionally produced liquid itself – everything had to be best-of-breed. Whiskey JYPSI's Legacy 001 release promises to be just the first of many expressions at various price points.

When Joann Sfar was growing up in France, his grandfather would buy him American comic books -- The Fantastic Four and Spiderman would fill travel with him to school. Sfar's new graphic novel, The Rabbi's Cat is a comic book of a different sort.
No superheroes here, no modern-day eccentrics and no symbolic mice. Instead Sfar's work features an Algerian rabbi, his cat and a variety of adventures in theology.
The Rabbi's Cat, set in Algiers during the early part of the 20th century, is based on family stories. But Sfar had no photos to work from because his family was forced to flee the country. "I imagined the visual," he says.
"This cat lives in a very traditional family and he [wishes] he could talk to the daughter of the rabbi and tell him about many forbidden things, such as love," Sfar says. So the cat (which was inspired by Sfar's own Siamese) eats the family's talkative parrot and starts to speak.
When the rabbi begins to worry that he can no longer trust the cat with his daughter, Sfar says, the animal "does his best to prove he's still a good cat" by becoming a Jew.

LONDON — A long-running dispute over pay and working conditions came to a head on Wednesday, with hundreds of thousands of British workers taking part in what organizers said was the biggest day of industrial action in over a decade.
Downing Street warned Britons that the strike would cause “significant disruption.” Thousands of schools were closed — about 85 percent of schools in England and Wales were said to be impacted — and most trains in England were not running.
“Walkout Wednesday,” is how the Daily Mail described the strikes, calling it a “general strike in all but name.” The Sun tabloid called the disruption “Lockdown 2023.”
The day of coordinated action is only the latest in what the British newspapers have dubbed the “Winter of Discontent,” named after period in 1978-1979 characterized by widespread stoppages.
Catherine Barnard, a British academic who specializes in employment law at Cambridge University, said that Britain has the toughest striking laws in Europe, with disgruntled workers having to jump through many hoops before they can strike — and they are set to get tougher.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has introduced legislation that would mandate a “minimum service level,” allowing employers to enforce a basic degree of coverage in areas like health, rail, education, fire and border security during strike action.
Still, various workers have been striking en masse since last summer — and since then, the scale of the strikes has only escalated.
Workers say they are underpaid and overworked and that their real-term salaries, over many years, have not kept up with rising costs. Teachers in the middle of the salary scale, for instance, have seen their wages drop by 9 to 10 percent in real terms between 2010 and 2022, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies. The government says that they can’t pay teachers what they are asking for because it would fuel inflation, which is already over 10 percent.
Several unions say that there is no sign of a breakthrough in pay talks and have pledged more action in the coming weeks.
More strikes are planned throughout the month of February — and beyond. Newspapers have calendars and interactive tools to help readers figure out what strikes are on in their area and when. Next week, nurses are expected to once again join the picket lines. When they went on strike in December, it was the first time in their union’s 106-year history.
“It’s not going the way Rishi Sunak had hoped it would go,” said Steven Fielding, emeritus professor of political history at University of Nottingham. “He’s basically tried a retread of Margaret Thatcher, but that’s not working.”
When Sunak became prime minister last year, he pitched himself as the responsible manager of the economy, the person who’d clean up the economic mess of his predecessor and, he hoped, get things back on track in time for the next election, which must be held by January 2025. Like Margaret Thatcher, the former Conservative leader who is still lionized in the party, Sunak’s government is not backing down to the unions and has introduced new “anti-strike” legislation.
“That’s what Thatcher did, she saw down the unions and passed legislation, but it was very different times and she had a wind in her sail,” said Fielding.
Sunak has no such wind. His government has been dogged by allegations of “sleaze” and the economic outlook is gloomy. The International National Monetary Fund on Tuesday predicted that the United Kingdom would be the only major global economy to slide into recession in 2023.
The public is divided over the strikes, with strong support for nurses, ambulance staff, firefighters and, to a lesser extent, teachers. Driving examiners, university staff and civil servants have less support. Research from YouGov found that support for the action correlated not with disruption caused, but with how strongly with workers’ perceived contribution to society and whether they are underpaid.
Fielding said that today’s rolling wave of strikes are much more extensive than those in the late 1970s. “That was intense, but relatively a short few months. This has been going on since the summer. And it’s escalating to parts of the economy untouched in the 1970s. It’s not just bin men. It’s university professors, doctors, fireman, ambulance drivers, everyone is on strike, much more extensive reach of the economy.” | 2023-02-01T10:21:05+00:00 | washingtonpost.com | https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/02/01/britain-strike-unions-cost-of-living/ |
KNOXVILLE, IOWA (WHO) — Gas prices have been falling in Iowa, and across the country. In the town of Knoxville, it’s welcome news at the Knoxville Raceway, where they count on fuel to bring fans to the stands, and drivers to the track.
“We’ve got the fans and the drivers, we’re affected the fans the people that are the loyal fans within a close driving range will still get all them,” said Jason Reed, Knoxville Raceway General Manager. “The fans that can be affected are the ones that drive for a little ways away, especially if the weather is cold or there’s a chance of rain people aren’t going to take the chance to come and see the show.”
The raceway has developed a sponsored program to offer some drivers a stipend to help with their fuel expenses to come to Knoxville to race.
“On the driver side of it, drivers travel from out of state, several, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, and all states around here that come to race here,” said Reed. “It cost a lot in diesel fuel to get here, those big trucks and trailers bring equipment here.”
Downtown at the Coffee Connection, people may not buy a whole lot of gas, but they do follow what’s going on with fuel prices.
“I always use my HyVee perks card to get the cheaper gas I was able to get $.59 off a gallon last week which helps a lot,” said Glenda Bolton, of Indianola. “I just got to see my son in Virginia and the flight there is much cheaper than the driving right now.”
“I’m lucky enough to have an E-85 vehicle flex fuel so here in Knoxville I get it for $2.30 a gallon,” said Dee Snodgrass, of Knoxville. “So until the gas prices get down to within $.60 of that or $.75 I’ll continue to use my flex.”
“When the prices go down you wonder, why did it go down,” said Laura McNeely from Knoxville.
“Maybe a little bit cautious, when they were way up,” said Leo VanVark, of Pella. “Other than that we basically try to get out about every day but in surrounding area.”
“It is not affected me too much,” said Marilyn Wallace, of Pella. “I’m glad to see it come down, however, if I have a destination I’m going to go regardless of the price.” | 2022-11-22T19:27:11+00:00 | siouxlandproud.com | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/iowa-news/iowans-welcome-lower-gas-prices/ |

A pair of Levi's jeans sold for more than $75,000. Don't worry. Inflation hasn't gotten that bad.
The (really, really) old pair of jeans hails from the 19th century. The jeans were put up for bid at an auction in New Mexico. Two vintage-clothing collectors teamed up to put down the cash in order to bring this piece of history back to California.
With the 15% buyer's premium, the duo (Zip Stevenson and Kyle Haupert) put down a combined $87,400. The agreement to go into the deal together was made as the jeans were being auctioned. The deal was captured by Haupert's phone and posted on Instagram.
The pants were found years ago by denim historian Michael Harris in an abandoned mine shaft, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Aside from the pants' wear and tear and what the buyers and Harris believe to be candle wax from the former wearer (a miner, they seem to believe), the jeans hold another piece of history — one that Levi's is likely to want to forget.
One of the faded pockets of the pants bears the phrase "The only kind made by white labor."
"Levi Strauss & Co. is a company with a long and mostly proud heritage. Across our history, we have strived to do good in and beyond our business and to be a positive force for equality and racial justice," a Levi Strauss & Co. spokesperson told NPR in an emailed statement. "But there have been times when we've fallen short."
"An economic crisis in the United States in [the] 1870s led to high unemployment and fueled anti-Chinese sentiment and rampant discrimination. In 1882 when Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, there was significant social pressure not to hire Chinese workers and LS&Co. adopted an anti-Chinese labor policy," the spokesperson said.
The Chinese Exclusion Act was the first instance in U.S. history that immigrants were prevented from entering the United States based solely on race and class, according to prior reporting by NPR. The law established a 10-year ban on Chinese laborers immigrating to the United States. Further restrictions on the immigration of Chinese laborers continued well into the 20th century, according to the National Archives.
During this time in the 19th century, Levi's declared in ads and on its products that the products were "made by white labor." The thinking was that this would improve sales and align with consumers' viewpoints at the time. The company later reversed its policies in the 1890s, the spokesperson said.
"We are wholly committed to using our platform and our voice to advocate for real equality and to fight against racism in all its forms as it persists today," the company said.
If you're intrigued by this piece of clothing, Denim Doctors, a vintage showroom in California run by Stevenson, is showing the jeans in its store.
"We are showing by appointment only as these are kept in a bank vault," the store said on Instagram. "Feel free to make an appointment by calling."

LONDON (AP) — Harmeet Singh Gill was excited to hear that Rishi Sunak would become Britain’s first prime minister of color — news that came as he celebrated the Diwali festival in a London neighborhood sometimes called Little India.
“It’s almost a watershed moment,” the 31-year-old said as he volunteered at the cavernous dome-topped house of worship that serves the Sikh community in west London’s Southall neighborhood. “It’s just a sign of 21st-century Britain, where it doesn’t matter what background you’re from now, that you can rise up the ranks to the positions of power.”
But, for many people of color in the U.K., it’s not so simple. Sunak, 42, will be the first Hindu and the first person of South Asian descent to lead the country, which has a long history of colonialism and has often struggled to welcome immigrants from its former colonies — and continues to grapple with racism and wealth inequality.
King Charles III asked Sunak, whose parents moved to Britain from Africa in the 1960s, to form a new government Tuesday, a day after he was chosen leader of the governing Conservative Party.
The milestone is doubly significant for many people with Asian roots because it comes during Diwali, the five-day festival of light celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs and Jains.
Earlier this year, Sunak, a practicing Hindu, spoke about the significance of lighting Diwali candles outside the official Downing Street residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the post he held for two years until he resigned in July.
“It was one of my proudest moments that I was able to do that on the steps of Downing Street,” he told the Times of London. “And it meant a lot to a lot of people and it’s an amazing thing about our country.”
It wasn’t always that way in Britain.
In 1968, Conservative lawmaker Enoch Powell delivered his infamous “rivers of blood” speech decrying mass migration and advocating assistance for immigrants to “return home.”
As recently as 1987, there were no people from ethnic minority backgrounds in the House of Commons. One Asian and three Black members were elected to Parliament that year.
Numbers have increased steadily since, with 65 people from ethnic minority groups, or 10% of the House of Commons, elected during the last general election in 2019. That still isn’t fully representative of the U.K. as a whole, where 13% of the population identify as ethnic minorities.
Sunak’s win is evidence of this progress — a step toward something better, said Tariq Modood, director of the Centre for the Study of Ethnicity and Citizenship at the University of Bristol.
“I would say the most important thing about today is that the majority, the overwhelming majority of Conservative members of Parliament, chose as their first choice a youngish man of Indian descent, making him the first British prime minister of color,’’ he said Monday. “And I think that other parties will note that, the Labour Party most certainly, and will want to catch up with that, if not try and do better.”
But Sunak isn’t typical of the millions of people from Asian, African and Caribbean backgrounds who still face barriers in employment and education.
The son of a doctor and a pharmacist, Sunak earned an undergraduate degree from the University of Oxford and a master’s in business administration from Stanford University before going to work for Goldman Sachs and then moving into the hedge fund industry, where he made a fortune in finance. He is married to Akshata Murty, daughter of Indian billionaire N.R. Narayana Murthy, founder of the global information technology company Infosys.
Sunak was criticized earlier this year when British news media reported that his wife took advantage of rules allowing her to avoid U.K. taxes on her foreign income. She has since promised to give up her “non-domiciled” status and pay all her taxes in Britain.
On a broader level, Indians have fared better economically than other minority groups in Britain.
Indians earned an average of 14.43 pounds ($16.29) an hour, or 15.5% more than white British residents, in 2019, the latest figures available from the Office for National Statistics. By contrast, people from Pakistan and Bangladesh earned about 15% less than white people, and Black people earned 6.9% less.
Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, the first Muslim woman to attend Cabinet when she served in former Prime Minister David Cameron’s government, said she thought Sunak would be a unifying figure for all British Asians.
“But there has been a huge debate on whether or not this is something that we should celebrate, and I think we do celebrate the fact that this is visible diversity,” Warsi told the BBC.
“But it has to go beyond visible diversity. There have to be young children today from poor homes, going to ordinary state schools, who say that they, too, could become prime minister.”
Sunder Katwala, director of British Future, a think tank focused on immigration, identity and race, called Sunak’s victory a “historic moment” that wouldn’t have been possible just a decade ago. But, he said, the struggle to end discrimination isn’t over.
“I hope that Sunak will acknowledge that not everybody has enjoyed his advantages in life,” Katwala said. “Rishi Sunak reaching 10 Downing Street does not make Britain a perfect meritocracy. While there is more to do, this is a hopeful sign of progress against the prejudices of the past.”
Sathnam Sanghera, a columnist for the Times of London, said Sunak’s promotion was “amazing” as he recalled the hatred and violence faced by Black and Asian people in Britain in the past.
Immigrants of his parents’ generation still remember the white gangs that roamed the streets “looking for West Indians, Africans or Asians to assault,” and coming home to find excrement stuffed through their mailboxes.
“Some people on the left appear to be reluctant to say it, but it is undeniably a great thing that, in Rishi Sunak, Britain has its first brown prime minister,” Sanghera wrote. “Frankly, I never expected to see such a thing in my lifetime.”
But while Sunak’s success will boost the aspirations of young people throughout Britain, more work needs to be done, Sanghera said.
“Just because we have one British Hindu in charge, and just because some brown ethnic groups are doing well, it doesn’t mean that Britain has defeated racism,” he wrote. “No more than Barack Obama’s election as president represented the defeat of racism in America.”
Those challenges are on display in Southall, where two-thirds of the people have roots in South Asia and real incomes are about 20% of the London average, according to the local governing council.
That means people in this community will be disproportionately hit by soaring energy prices and rising food bills that have pushed inflation to a 40-year high of 10.1%.
But shopkeeper Pratik Shah was optimistic as he stood before a wall of saris in glittering pink, mint and silver and talked about the potential for progress he sees in Sunak’s leadership.
“It might help the country in getting to a higher position,’’ he said. “And I feel that the whole Asian community has that trust in him.”
