Pritzker Prize awarded to British architect Chipperfield By JOCELYN NOVECK AP National Writer The Pritzker Architecture Prize has been awarded to British architect and urban planner David Alan Chipperfield, who was hailed on Tuesday for “a commitment to an architecture of understated but transformative civic presence.” The award is seen as the highest honor in the field. Organizers called Chipperfield’s work, more than 100 projects over four decades ranging from cultural, civic and academic buildings to urban planning to residences, “subtle yet powerful, subdued yet elegant.” In 2019, the city of Berlin introduced the James Simon Gallery, a new gateway designed by Chipperfield to the Museum Island complex. The gallery is seen as a key moment in efforts to renovate the five-museum site that houses treasures such as Babylon’s Ishtar Gate.

Ford has revolutionized the pickup truck—by making a fully electric version of its top-selling vehicle, the F-150. While doing that, and seemingly changing as little as possible about all that already makes the F-150 so desirable, it’s created a better vehicle. That’s why even though the F-150 Lightning isn’t the first mass-produced fully electric pickup, it’s our Green Car Reports Best Car To Buy 2023. The Ford F-150 Lightning looks like a gasoline F-150 in all but front and rear styling cues (and corresponding lighting), but it turns out a whole lot about the electric truck is different underneath. It gets a new frame—somewhat wider to fit the battery pack suspended between it, with thicker cross members. Steering and braking are reengineered for the Lightning, which also gets an independent rear suspension with coil-over springs. What results is a truck that rides and handles better than the gasoline F-150 in most conditions, with unparalleled quiet and refinement. Plus, in washboard gravel, off-road trails, or snow-slicked roads, the virtually instantaneous traction systems working with the electric motors show their strength and allow you to pull up that boat ramp—or over that wet log—without upsetting the tires’ footing. Pop the hood, and you get something the gasoline truck doesn’t have: a vast frunk that offers power plugs and can hold up to 400 pounds. How ‘bout some frunkgating? All versions of the F-150 Lightning are built with front and rear permanent-magnet motors providing all-wheel drive, with a crew-cab layout and the same bed length. There are essentially two tech specs: Versions with the 98-kwh standard range battery pack make 452 hp and 775 lb-ft, while those with the 131-kwh extended range pack make 580 hp and 775 lb-ft. EPA driving range for the Lightning stands at 240 miles and 320 miles, respectively. Unladen, the Lightning leaps forward, with enough of a shriek of the tires to let you know it’s using every bit of available traction. Ford has cited a 0-60 mph acceleration time of under four seconds and, seated from high up, with a body that squats and dives a fair amount, it’s as much a fun-park ride inside as it must appear from outside—truer to the Lightning label than the gasoline truck that used to bear the name. It offers more payload capability than many of its gasoline counterparts. And at up to 10,000 pounds, it will out-tow much of the gasoline-truck lineup. Just don’t plan to pull that trailer very far. The F-150 Lightning doesn’t charge quickly if you think in road-trip terms. Ford says that it will charge at up to 150 kw, or from 15-80% in less than 45 minutes, but those are both best-case-scenarios from what we’ve seen at typical U.S. Electrify America hardware. If you happen to have 100 amps free for its own circuit, install the 80-amp Charge Station Pro and charge times for a full charge drop to about 8 hours on 240 volts—or about 30 miles per hour. That unit forms the basis for where the Lightning truly becomes an EV trendsetter: Add the $3,895 Home Integration System, and with Ford’s app the Lightning can become its own power ecosystem—helping juggle solar, or acting just as a portable generator (minus the hum and diesel odor) when the power goes out. That system and its inclusion under warranty go a long way toward convincing us that Ford sees a big picture that others haven’t. So does the company’s Ford Pro fleet-software push, and its strategy not to make electric vehicles a niche sub-brand but actual vehicles that compete on nearly every level—even outshine—the gasoline versions of F-150, Transit, and Mustang. The F-150 Lightning has some undeniable strengths versus any of our other finalists for Green Car Reports Best Car To Buy 2023—most notably, that it feels fully baked, is available in all 50 states, and doesn’t feel like it was held back somewhere along the way. The Cadillac Lyriq signals the start of a generation of Ultium-platform vehicles, and it’s impressive in many respects, like styling, ride, and handling. But what we’ve seen so far hasn’t quite delivered on the interface or charging side. Its efficiency deserves a longer look, too—one we haven’t yet been able to take. We love the no-holds-barred attitude behind the Genesis GV60, and how it takes personal luxury into a new space—with a line-green “boost” button and crystal-ball shifter—though at the end of the day we just can’t give top props to a model that’s offered only in a portion of the U.S. The Kia EV6 wins if style were the main criteria, and it offers speedy charging and an impressive interface, but in dropping base versions the brand seems to be playing a niche game rather than taking advantage of all the capital in that design. The Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV builds on the impressive efficiency of the EQS hatchback, adding three rows of seating and trail ability, plus U.S. assembly, but it simply doesn’t push the bar higher. The biggest Lightning strike-outs so far have been its unavailability and repeated price hikes. Ford hadn’t even been accepting reservations for some of the past year; just nine months since first deliveries, the standard range base 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Pro starts at $57,869 (including a hiked $1,895 destination fee)—up nearly 40% from the original $41,669, including destination, for the 2022 model year. Part of that stems from an earlier, stunning underestimation of Lightning demand. It’s managed to bump Lightning production from an original 20,000 annually up to 150,000. Why all this interest, again? The F-150 Lightning hits on a point that jumps past the technology early adopters that have often served as a sort of Achilles’ heel for actual widespread EV adoption. Yes, there’s plenty of room for reinventing the car (or truck), making our roads safer, and perhaps relying less on vehicles in the first place, but in this moment, showing people how the familiar can be made better as an EV is the most powerful statement of all.

The former head of the board that regulates private security companies in Louisiana misused taxpayer money for a trip to South Africa and a hotel stay in New Orleans, the state's public corruption watchdog says. The state board of ethics issued charges earlier this month against Fabian Blanche III, who was removed from his position as executive secretary for the the State Board of Private Security Examiners in Sept. 2021. The board found that he had received travel reimbursements that he "was not duly entitled to" in order to cover the $2,563.50 cost of airfare when his wife joined him on a work-related trip to South Africa in 2019. The board also found that Blache improperly received reimbursement for $810.58 for a 2021 stay at a New Orleans hotel. A document explaining the charges said he took the New Orleans trip even though the security examiners board had put a hold on travel for two years because it was under scrutiny from the Office of State Travel, which said the board was not complying with state purchasing and travel policies. In particular, the report cited the board's failure to use the state's designated travel agency. The ethics board says Blache "did not return the funds paid to him for his and his guest's lodging expenses for the trip." In addition, the board found that Blache improperly cashed out his leave during the COVID pandemic, to the tune of $4,482.12 — even though he "was not eligible to receive any annual leave disbursements until his separation from service." "No meeting minutes show that LSBPSE discussed or took any action on Mr. Blache's annual leave cash-out," the 9-page ruling said. This is a developing story that will be updated.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. , Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tuya Smart (NYSE: TUYA, HKEX: 2391), a global IoT development platform service provider, has taken the sustainability initiative into its own hands. As one of the critical challenges of sustainable development, climate change has become a global issue. Many countries are striving to achieve "carbon neutralization" in order to minimize the impact of greenhouse gases on both the climate and the environment. At the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UN-GA), the U.N. presented the goal "to peak carbon emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060," entering a new stage of climate governance. Environment, climate risk, low-carbon, energy conservation, and carbon reduction are becoming the new global consensus and the universal ESG standards. Facing the increasing demand for energy efficiency and carbon reduction, traditional solutions are obviously not enough. A shift in supply and demand and technological innovations will inevitably bring new developments and opportunities. Among them, IoT solutions have become a vanguard in the field of energy conservation and carbon reduction thanks to its technological advantages, including smart measurement of energy consumption, flexible data collection, visibility, controllability, and scientific decision-making. But enabling the synergy of IoT technologies and energy efficiency is no easy task. It requires long-term development in the industry and continuous exploration of different use cases to build an exclusive solution in line with the latest trends. In early June this year, Tuya launched "Smart for Purpose," a social media campaign that continues to practice the company's responsibility for employees, the industry, and society in the fields of elderly care, energy conservation, and more. The campaign also encouraged Tuya's global business partners to participate in ESG practices and provide sustainable solutions and services to customers and society. Tuya's sustainability initiative has brought a positive impact on the global market through various applications and has demonstrated the role of an IoT company in achieving carbon neutralization. Achieving Energy Efficiency Through IoT Technology Real environmental protection and carbon reduction does not mean radical changes in people's daily habits, but building a low-carbon and green lifestyle in feasible ways that are universal. A good example would be the smart metering socket developed by Tuya Smart and its global partners. The product can be controlled through mobile phones and voice recognition. Users can set the timing, turn it on/off remotely, and even control electrical appliance switches through sensors to reduce energy consumption. According to statistics, the smart metering socket powered by Tuya has saved almost US$200 million in electric bills for users around the world - a carbon reduction equivalent to planting 40 million trees per year. For people who often forget to turn off the lights before leaving their home, Tuya Smart has launched the smart motion sensor light switch solution. The solution supports shifting between manual and automatic sensing modes, allowing Tuya's partners to build smart switches that are energy-efficient and user-friendly. Under automatic mode, the solution supports customized settings, such as sensitivity and delayed action. Under manual mode, it supports colorful lights, white light adjustments, and countdown functions. Turning off the lights automatically to avoid leaving the lights on while nobody is at home would certainly help consumers effectively save energy and money. Another example would be Tuya's collaboration with iHelios, a UK-based company specializing in heating and integrated property control systems. By partnering with Tuya, iHelios launched an innovative and environmentally conscious household heating system, which has saved consumers over 30% on their electric bills. Reduced electric bills also means reduced energy consumption. The collaboration not only experienced success in energy conservation and carbon reduction, but it also brought a 40% increase in number of customers for iHelios. The world is now facing a significant bottleneck in the supply of energy resources, and the situation has only intensified this year due to geopolitical tensions. "The market won't balance itself out until 2024," said Gergely Molnar, an energy analyst at the International Energy Agency. "Until then, these financial tensions will be in place." Countries and energy companies are committed to finding more effective solutions to save energy. So far, thermostats are considered the most popular and trending IoT product. According to an Australian government report, the installation of smart thermostats can help residential customers save 10% of their air-conditioning power consumption. Based on the report published by Mordor Intelligence, the market size for smart thermostats is expected to reach US$3.3 billion by 2026 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 23.1% between 2021 and 2026. The smart thermostat solution developed by Tuya can monitor temperature and humidity levels, and can switch between different modes automatically, keeping the household temperature in an appropriate range. This not only brings more comfort and convenience to users, but it also successfully achieves energy conservation and carbon reduction, making the product a best seller in the smart home market. Sustainable Value Created by IoT Capability As energy conservation and carbon reduction become the new global consensus, more and more innovative technologies are needed in order to inspire people to participate in a low-carbon and green lifestyle. Tuya's IoT capabilities not only brings great sustainable value, but it also created solutions for energy conservation and carbon reduction. One of the main reasons behind such impact is that the technology does not require users to change their previous behavior and habits. Rather, it allows people to achieve a green lifestyle more intuitively and easily. More importantly, through its IoT capabilities and rich ecosystem, Tuya was able to boost its product value for home appliance brands by accurately observing the demand for carbon reduction. Though the above-mentioned cases and results do not demonstrate the entire value proposition of Tuya Smart, the company has undoubtedly built up an ESG reputation through its business model and credible IoT capabilities in line with the sustainable development demand.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP)The way the Miami Dolphins see things, they had the No. 1 pick in this year’s NFL draft. And they used it on the 165th pick in the 2016 draft. It makes sense. While most other general managers will spend the early rounds of the draft fretting over who to take and who might be available, Dolphins general manager Chris Grier can relax. The Dolphins don’t have a first- or second-round pick in this year’s draft because of the blockbuster trade that brought wide receiver Tyreek Hill from Kansas City to Miami, and that move alone already has Grier believing this draft was a success. ”We were trying to figure out what we were going to do on draft day,” Grier said. ”And one of the guys said we’ll just watch Tyreek highlights in the draft room to make us feel good.” By the time the Dolphins will be on the clock, they might be able to get through a whole lot of Hill highlights. Barring a trade – something Grier hasn’t ruled out, though indicated such a move would be unlikely – Miami’s first pick this year will be the 102nd of the draft. If it happens that way, this year would be the first in Dolphins history in which they didn’t make a pick in the top 100. Every other team, except one, is scheduled to have at least one draft selection before No. 102 rolls around. The exception: the Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams, who, for now, aren’t expected to make a pick until No. 104. But the Dolphins will be ready if things change, Grier said. Having only four picks doesn’t mean Miami could evaluate any differently. ”We haven’t changed our process because I think you end up shortchanging the organization if you do that,” Grier said. ”Because at the end of the day, you never know when opportunities arise to do something, whether you make a move or not.” It has been an offseason of change and, in some cases, tumult for Miami. Brian Flores was fired as coach, then sued the organization and the NFL alleging racial discrimination among other things. Mike McDaniel was hired as coach, and his player-friendly approach is already paying dividends. The Dolphins landed left tackle Terron Armstead, wide receiver Cedrick Wilson and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater as part of a massive haul of free agents, plus kept defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah and tight end Mike Gesicki. Also notable: the fact that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is still the Miami starter, after he and the Dolphins were dogged by the team’s acknowledged interest in the embattled Deshaun Watson – who wound up going to Cleveland from Houston. Months later, Tagovailoa didn’t have much to say about Flores’ dismissal. ”I’ll tell you this,” Tagovailoa said. ”I’m very thankful that he drafted me to come here to play for the Miami Dolphins. That’s what I’d say.” It’s now up to Grier to find four more players who will be thankful to be Dolphins. NO FIRST-ROUNDER Miami doesn’t have a first-round pick for the 10th time in franchise history and the first since 2003. The Dolphins didn’t have a first-rounder that year (or 2002) because of a trade for running back Ricky Williams. Entering the draft, barring trades, the Dolphins are among eight teams without a pick in Round 1. The others: Chicago, Denver, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, San Francisco and the Rams. AT 102 Past 102nd picks in the draft have included quarterback Kirk Cousins (2012), running back Stephen Davis (1996) – and a couple of Hall of Famers, including one with deep ties to Miami. Linebacker Nick Buoniconti went at No. 102 in 1962, playing his first seven seasons with the Boston Patriots before playing his last seven with the Dolphins. And quarterback Johnny Unitas also went 102nd, by Pittsburgh in 1955, though he never played for the Steelers. LOCAL FLAVOR The Dolphins took three players from colleges in Florida in the 2013 draft – all from the Florida Gators, with linebacker Jelani Jenkins at No. 104, running back Mike Gillislee at No. 164 and kicker Caleb Sturgis at No. 166. The team hadn’t taken a player from a Sunshine State school again until last year, when it grabbed linebacker Jaelan Phillips out of Miami at No. 18. LINEMEN WANTED Offensive linemen have been Miami’s most-targeted position in past drafts, with 120 (18.5%) of the team’s picks going to that position group. Defensive line is next at 103 (15.9%), followed by defensive back at 101 (15.6%) and linebacker at 86 (13.3%). REST OF DRAFT Miami’s other picks this year – again, barring moves – are a fourth-rounder at No. 125 and two seventh-rounders, Nos. 224 and 247. — More AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl and https://apnews.com/hub/pro-32 and https://twitter.com/AP-NFL

The first of two Iowa teenagers who pleaded guilty to beating their high school Spanish teacher to death with a baseball bat will be sentenced Thursday morning. Willard Miller and Jeremy Goodale pleaded guilty in April to the 2021 attack on Nohema Graber in a park where the 66-year-old teacher regularly walked after school. Prosecutors said the teens, who were 16 at the time, were angry at Graber because of a bad grade she had given Miller. Miller will be the first sentenced after he pleaded guilty as part of an agreement in which prosecutors recommended a term of between 30 years and life in prison, with the possibility of parole. 2 IOWA TEENS PLEAD GUILTY TO MURDER AFTER BEATING HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER TO DEATH Under Goodale's agreement to plead guilty, prosecutors recommended a sentence of between 25 years and life with the possibility of parole. Goodale's sentencing is scheduled for August but his lawyers have sought a delay in the hearing. IOWA MAN PLEADS GUILTY TO THREATENING 2 AZ OFFICIALS WITH 2020 ELECTION FRAUD ALLEGATIONS The teens acknowledged killing Graber on Nov. 2, 2021, in Chautauqua Park in Fairfield, a city of 9,400 people about 100 miles southeast of Des Moines. Goodale testified they had planned the killing for about two weeks and that both of them struck the victim and then hid her body. Goodale said Miller had initiated the plan. Miller admitted helping but denied hitting Graber. The two were charged as adults, but because of their age they weren’t subject to a mandatory sentence of life without parole for first-degree murder. Miller is now 17 and Goodale is 18.

Nevada Democrats are grappling with turmoil in their ranks ahead of a critical state party chair election this weekend, sparking fears that the divisions could hinder them as they head into 2024. Top elected officials have called on Nevada Democratic Party Chair Judith Whitmer to resign as she has fielded unflattering headlines in recent weeks — the latest developments in a series of longstanding tensions between progressive and moderate factions of the party. Democrats worry that the conflict could roll into the 2024 election cycle, where Nevada holds a crucial early presidential primary for Democrats and one of the Senate’s most vulnerable candidates, Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), is up for reelection. “What has happened to the Nevada state party is an embarrassment to progressives and Nevada,” said Peter Koltak, a staffer for Sen. Bernie Sanders’s (I-Vt) 2020 presidential campaign in Nevada. “A lot of it is rooted in incompetence.” “Is the party going to get new leadership and be a partner in elections or is it going to continue to be an isolated, rump organization?” he added. Roughly two years since a group of democratic socialist candidates, led by Whitmer, took the reins of the state party formerly run by operatives associated with the famed “Reid machine” — a group of establishment Democrats once led by the late Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) — Nevada Democrats have seen a growing rift between progressive and establishment members of the party. Not long after the 2021 state party chair elections, career Democratic operatives and the entire permanent staff of the Nevada Democratic Party resigned. Progressives allege that those staffers took much of the party’s money with them and left the organization in financial and logistical disarray. Those divisions deepened heading into the 2022 midterm elections as the same operatives who fled the Nevada Democratic Party founded a new organization, Nevada Democratic Victory. It acted as what some called a “shadow party,” fundraising and campaigning on behalf of candidates like Sen. Catherine Cortez-Masto (D-Nev.) while the state party coordinated its own campaign efforts focusing on down ballot races — creating a split screen of two different campaign efforts run by Democrats in the state. Finally, the bubbling tensions between progressives and establishment Democrats in the Silver State came to a fore last month. Officials started calling on Whitmer to resign following reporting that the state party had removed over 230 members of Nevada State Democratic Party’s governing body ahead of their state party chair elections – a move that Whitmer argues was not politically motivated. Meanwhile, top politicians like former Gov. Steve Sisolak (D), along with influential organizations like the Culinary Workers Union, have endorsed her challenger, state Assemblywoman Daniele Monroe-Moreno. “It’s time for our State Party to get back to basics and to reunite our Democratic family. That means raising the resources to be successful, restoring trust with our grassroots members and local elected leaders, and serious year-round organizing in every corner of the state,” Monroe-Moreno told The Hill in a statement. Now Nevada Democrats are staring down contentious state party leadership elections just months after the midterms and the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) move to make Nevada one of the second presidential primary states. “The state Democratic Party is not the party respected by elected officials,” said Jon Ralston, founder of The Nevada Independent newspaper and a respected political commentator in the state. “There’s no evidence that they’ve done what a party needs to do.” Some suggest the damage has already been done. Even if the party split is mended, it has already had a negative impact on the state, Koltak and Ralston said. As infighting makes headlines, large donors may be less likely to spend in the state, and Nevada’s reputation in the Democratic National Committee may falter. And while Nevada Democrats, including Cortez-Masto, won most of their major seats in 2022, some insiders believe it was more despite Whitmer’s influence than because of it, raising questions of whether Democrats might work around the state party again next cycle if tensions persist. “If you’re ultra-ideological, the state party is the wrong place for you,” Koltak said.“What they got was a big electoral machine that they were not prepared to run.” Some politicos believe that Sisolak, who lost reelection to Republican Joe Lombardo by about 30,000 votes, could have at least lost by a smaller margin without party infighting. “It didn’t make things easier having to navigate a new process,” one longtime Nevada Democratic staffer said, who asked to be anonymous out of concern for their career future in state politics. In an interview with The Hill last month, Whitmer argued that the operatives who ran the state party before she was elected “sort of burned the house down before we even got the keys” following the state party elections and explained that “our intent has always been to build a stronger, more inclusive party, where every voice is heard, everybody has a chance to participate.” But the state party chair also voiced concern that unresolved tensions between Nevada Democrats could hurt them going into 2024. “I think it will have an impact if the narrative continues to be from the other side” of this electron “that they’ve got to get control of a party back away from progressives and that they’re embarrassed by progressives, that’s going to be a problem,” Whitmer said. “Because that … sets us up for a wider conflict that I don’t want to see happen,” she added. Others suggest if the lingering tensions persist, that could trickle down to intraparty divisions in key races. “The first part is, do we see a lot of primary challenges, right?” said David Damore, professor and chair of the political science department at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. “[Rep.] Dina Titus, for example, got challenged from this group of, sort of, the leftover Sanders campaign people. She crushed it. I think the open question is what happens when seats [become] open?” While the last election suggests that Nevada Democrats can stillremain competitive in holding onto key Senate and House seats despite internal turmoil, it could come at the cost of a united front among members. “You have two trains of thought. One is we need unity, don’t upset the applecart. And then the second thing that you need is a functional organization that supports candidates and actually works to get them elected,” said former Nevada GOP executive director Zachary Moyle. “Ideally, you want both of those. But you know, honestly, the past decade it feels like parties [have been having to choose] which one do I want more instead of aiming for both.” Whitmer’s leadership has now inspired the same “Reid machine” Democrats to attempt to wrestle control of the party back again. Meanwhile, the Las Vegas branch of the Democratic Socialists of America, who backed Whitmer in her leadership election in 2021, have declined to endorse her, saying that the party has turned its back on the principles the leadership slate it was elected to fulfill. Some observers suggest that the state party chair outcome could mean a return to the way things were before Whitmer took the reins. “Assemblywoman Monroe-Moreno is someone who people who already have a vested interest prefer,” the longtime staffer said. “If Assemblywoman Monroe-Moreno were to win, the coordinated campaign would likely go back to the state party.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A former FBI agent in Northern California who handled national security issues was convicted Tuesday of accepting at least $150,000 in gifts and cash bribes to provide confidential information to a man with organized crime ties, prosecutors said. Babak Broumand, 56, of Lafayette, was found guilty in Los Angeles of conspiracy, bribery of a public official and monetary transactions in property derived from unlawful activity, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement. He could face 15 to 45 years in federal prison when he is sentenced in January. Broumand, who joined the FBI in 1999, worked until 2018 in the bureau's San Francisco office, where he was responsible for national security investigations, prosecutors said. Prosecutors said from 2015 to 2018, Broumand accepted “cash, checks, private jet flights, a Ducati motorcycle, hotel stays, escorts, meals, and other items of value" in return for searching law enforcement databases to help a self-proclaimed lawyer and his criminal associates learn if they were under investigation and avoid prosecution. Court documents refer to the lawyer only as “E.S." but his name was Edgar Sargsyan, who earlier pleaded guilty to bribing Broumand and another federal agent and testified at his trial. The two men were introduced at a Beverly Hills cigar club. Sargsyan has admitted making a fortune by stealing identities, making credit card charges and taking out bank loans in their names, and while he falsely claimed to be an attorney he acknowledged actually paying a friend to take the bar exam under his name, the Los Angeles Times reported. “To conceal the nature of their corrupt relationship, Broumand made it falsely appear that E.S. was working as an FBI source" and wrote false reports stating he was making legitimate database queries, according to the Department of Justice. One involved Levon Termendzhyan, whom prosecutors described as an Armenian organized crime figure for whom Sargsyan had worked. Termendzhyan was convicted in 2020 in a Utah federal court of involvement in a $1 billion fraud scheme involving renewable fuel tax credits, prosecutors said. He awaits sentencing.

The use of psychedelic treatments for mental health treatment is gaining popularity across the country. In most cases, Schedule I substances, like MDMA and psilocybin, are labeled as drugs with a high risk for abuse and no accepted medical use. “We see a lot of folks that have treatment-resistant depression,” said Denise Hosier, a nurse practitioner at Wellpower, formerly known as the Mental Health Center of Denver, in Colorado. “By the time that we see them here, they may have lost jobs, they may have lost benefits that they had before.” For the last year, Hosier has helped administer esketmaine, a derivative of the Schedule III substance, ketamine, at her approved clinic. Wellpower is the only clinic in the state that administers esketamine, a dissociative drug, to help combat treatment-resistant depression, a severe form of the mental illness. It affects 30.9% of those diagnosed with depression, according to the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry. Where therapy and medications like anti-depressants alone fail, esketamine is proven to work in some cases. “I was floored. Like, wow, I have never looked at myself that way before. And maybe 10 more years of meditation would’ve done it, but it was a big change,” said Eric, who did not want to provide his last name. Eric was diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression earlier this year and signed up for esketamine treatments. The drug works as it disassociates a person from their feelings; allowing them to look at them, and analyze them, without feeling the sometimes-debilitating paralysis from them. For people like Eric, who have tried other therapies to no avail, esketamine treatment feels like the only way forward. “It lets you learn from your feelings, which is pretty amazing,” he said. “Depression feels like you can’t do much, and so taking some of those responsibilities back, suddenly I felt like I could handle that.” In 2017, the FDA labeled MDMA, one of the compounds found in ecstasy, a breakthrough therapy for PTSD, expediting its development and review. In 2019, the same was done for esketamine. And now, other drugs, like psilocybin, which are found in psychedelic mushrooms, are being reviewed for their benefits for anxiety and depression. In 2019, the FDA labeled psilocybin a breakthrough therapy and in 2020 Oregon became the first state to legalize its use in treating mental health disorders. “The results we’ve seen have been really great,” said Hosier. “People have hope and they get some relief from their depression and so that’s been really great to see.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, made $579,514 last year and paid $137,658 in federal income taxes. That works out to a 23.8% tax rate, more than the average of roughly 14% for all U.S. households. The Bidens’ earnings have trended slightly downward over the past three years, after averaging more than $600,000 in 2020 and 2021. The median U.S. household income was $69,717 in 2021, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The White House on Tuesday released the tax returns of the Bidens and Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff. This once routine rite of passage for presidents and aspirants to the Oval Office became a source of controversy under Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump, who declined to release his taxes and ultimately had six years’ worth of returns released last year by a House committee. The Bidens’ income has dropped since 2019, when they earned nearly $1 million, primarily from book sales, speeches and their teaching positions at the University of Pennsylvania and Northern Virginia Community College. The former vice president and Delaware senator often notes in speeches that he was once the poorest lawmaker in the Senate, so much so that he could not afford a home in Washington and had to commute by Amtrak. In a Rose Garden speech about child care Tuesday, Biden said he couldn’t keep a home in Delaware and also afford a home for his family in Washington during his 36 years as a senator. As president, Biden earned a salary of $400,000. His wife, Jill, was paid $82,335 for her job teaching at Northern Virginia Community College. They paid state taxes of $29,023 in Delaware and $3,129 in Virginia. The Bidens gave $20,180 to 20 different charities. The largest gift was $5,000 to the Beau Biden Foundation, a nonprofit that works to combat child abuse and is named for their son Beau, who died of brain cancer in 2015 at age 46. They gave $1,680 to St. Joseph on the Brandywine, the church in Delaware that the president attends. The Bidens also donated $2,000 to the Fraternal Order of Police Foundation. The tax filings of the vice president and her husband showed them earning $456,918. They paid $93,570 in federal income tax for a rate of 20.5%. They also paid $17,612 in California income tax, while Harris’ husband paid $9,697 in District of Columbia income tax for his work at Georgetown University’s law school. They contributed $23,000 to charity. Biden campaigned on the transparency of his personal finances, releasing 22 years of tax filings ahead of the 2020 election. It was a direct challenge to Trump, who argued for years that an audit prevented him from releasing his taxes — though the IRS had mandated for four-plus decades that the tax returns of sitting presidents and vice presidents be audited. Tuesday was the deadline for paying federal taxes.

San Luis Obispo City fire chief, Keith Aggson, is officially retired. Aggson started his career with Atascadero fire and worked his way up to fire captain, a position he held for 19 years. He has been SLO City's fire chief since 2018. On his last day with the department, he rang the bell for the final time. Aggson says having worked in the fire industry for more than three decades has been rewarding. "It's incredibly unique," said Aggson. "I fell in love with it really early on once I got the, some people would say, the firebug early on in my career. One of the big mantras that I have for our folks is providing exceptional service in everything that we do. We're supported by a great community. They have that expectation from us, and we expect that from our firefighters." Stepping into the role as fire chief is a familiar face on the central coast, former City of Santa Maria fire chief Todd Tuggle. Tuggle is a fire service industry veteran with 19 years of experience, including his latest venture as fire chief in Santa Maria, a role he assumed in 2021. Tuggle's first day on the job was Monday, and he says the transition from Santa Maria to San Luis Obispo will be seamless with how well the organization is run. "This is a department that has a lot of traditions and a lot of pride in what they are as a pillar of the community and service to the community, so I've been really fortunate to walk into an organization that has a lot of that pride, has a lot of history behind it," said Tuggle. Tuggle says one of the biggest priorities in his first few months as chief is to get the two-year financial plan ready to go.

The beauty pageant world has lost one of its queens. Gleycy Correia, who was crowned Miss United Continents Brazil in 2018, has died at the age of 27, according to a statement posted on her Instagram Story June 20. Her family pastor Lidiane Alves Oliviera told the Daily Mail that the beauty queen passed away at a private clinic on June 20 after suffering from heavy bleeding and a heart attack following a routine operation to get her tonsils removed in late March. The priest said that she was left in a coma for two months following the cardiac arrest on April 4. Over the last few weeks, family members and church leaders gathered outside the hospital to hold prayer vigils and posted them to her Instagram account. Correia entered the beauty pageant world as a teenager and was crowned Miss United Continents Brazil at the age of 23 in 2018. After winning the pageant, she worked as a beautician and model, regularly sharing her work on her social media accounts. In March, she posted a video of herself performing a micropigmentation procedure on one of her client's eyelashes. Celebrity Deaths: 2022's Fallen Stars On June 21, a spokesperson for the Miss United Continents Organization released a statement saying Correia was a "beautiful young lady with such joy for life."

PASCO COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) — The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) announced news of a “cheating scandal” Friday that had likely cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars and put the success of roughly a thousand students in Pasco County in doubt. “Plain and simple, this was a cheating scandal — greed and cheating at the most bearish level,” said FDLE Tampa Bay Special Agent in Charge Mark Brutnell. The year-long investigation began after an anonymous caller dialed Agriculture Education Services and Technology (AEST) and claimed they cheated on an old exam. AEST is responsible for making the test banks that are provided to the Florida Department of Education. Before AEST could initiate its own state-wide audit as a result of the anonymous tip, another phone call and text alleged cheating by teachers at Hudson High School in Pasco County. Brutnell said the audit revealed several striking irregularities. First, the tests, which consist of 50 or 100 questions, take students between 30 and 45 minutes to complete, on average. But students taking the test at Hudson High School were completing them in as little as five minutes. “Hudson High School had a higher pass rate than any other school in Florida,” Brutnell said. “Hudson High School issued the most certificates state-wide. Ten times the number than the school behind them.” Why? “For each successfully completed AEST exam, the scheduling teacher receives a bonus from the FDOE of $25 or $50 depending on the exam,” Brutnell added. In addition, the FDOE paid Pasco County School District between $400 and $800 for each certification passed to enhance their agriculture program. To discourage cheating, proctors were required by the state to supervise test-takers. “When our agents started this investigation, they found that none of the mandatory requirements were followed,” Brutnell said. “So not a single proctor was used in any of these tests. And it gets better.” Instead, Hudson High School teachers Harold Martin, Kate Troutman, and Robert Herrington “took the exams together and used their exams — and I’ll coin it from their own mouth — as study guides to be given to their students,” Brutnell fumed. “These guides were the exact copies of the exams. Students were also allowed to use the study guides while taking their exams.” The investigation found that, in total, 284 students took the test using “study guides.” Further, as students took the exams, Brutnell said the teachers would photograph the tests to produce and update the study guides. “In many instances, teachers provided students with answers during exams and one teacher actually took the exam for the students,” Brutnell said. Even students in the Exceptional Student Education program “routinely had their tests taken for them.” Brutnell continued: “Often these students were not even aware they were scheduled to take the exam but they were given a passing grade.” As a result of the crimes, AEST will invalidate more than 1,000 of the tests taken at Hudson High School. Authorities said the testing fraud spanned a four-year period and resulted in a combined loss of $708,000. Of that, $36,000 went into the teacher’s pockets, combined. The investigation is still active. “We are extremely disappointed in these teachers who were placed in a position of trust, and repeatedly chose to violate that trust,” Pasco Superintendent of Schools Kurt Browning said. “They took advantage of students for personal gain, and that kind of behavior is shocking to teachers everywhere who sacrifice for their students every day.” All three teachers worked at Hudson High School. Two have resigned, and one has remained on unpaid leave. Arrangements are being made for the affected students to have an opportunity to retake the tests for free.

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Taiwan lifted all its COVID-19 entry restrictions on Thursday, allowing tourists unfettered access to the self-ruled island after over 2 1/2 years of border controls. Hong Kong and Taiwan, together with mainland China, required most visitors to complete a mandatory quarantine period throughout the pandemic, even as most countries reopened their borders to tourists. Visitors are no longer required to quarantine upon entry, or take any PCR tests. Instead, they will need to monitor their health for a week after arriving, and obtain a negative result on a rapid antigen test the day they arrive. If people want to go out during the weeklong monitoring period, they need a negative test from either that day or the day before. There are also no longer any restrictions on certain nationalities being allowed to enter Taiwan. Dozens of visitors from Thailand were among the first to arrive under the new rules at Taiwan’s Taoyuan International Airport, which serves the capital Taipei, on a Tiger Air flight that landed shortly after midnight. Tourists like 32-year-old Mac Chientachakul and his parents were excited to visit the island. “Hot pot is my favorite dish in Taiwan,” Chientachakul said. “It’s my first thing to do … I miss it so much.” Sonia Chang, a travel agent, said the changes are good for both the the tourism industry and Taiwanese residents, who can now travel abroad without having to quarantine when they get home. Valaisurang Bhaedhayajibh, a 53-year-old business development director of a design firm, called the new rules convenient. “We don’t have to do the test before coming here, and also after arriving,” he said. “We are still required to do the self-test every two days, and everything has been provided” by Taiwanese authorities, including the rapid testing kits. At a welcome ceremony in the Taoyuan airport’s arrival hall, the travelers from Thailand were met by the Taiwan Tourism Bureau’s director, Chang Shi-chung, who handed out gifts. Taiwan’s tourism bureau estimated that a total of 244 tourists from some 20 tour groups will arrive Thursday. With both Hong Kong and Taiwan getting rid of restrictions and welcoming back tourists, mainland China remains one of the few places in the world adamant in keeping borders closed and sticking to a “zero-COVID” strategy to stamp out the virus. Hong Kong ended its mandatory quarantine policy for inbound travelers late last month, requiring just a three-day self-monitoring period. ___ Associated Press writer Zen Soo contributed from Singapore.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Women should start getting every-other-year mammograms at age 40 instead of waiting until 50, according to a draft recommendation from a federal task force. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has long said women can choose to start breast cancer screening as young as 40, with a stronger recommendation that they get the X-ray exams every two years from age 50 through 74. Tuesday’s update -– if the draft proposal is finalized -– would mark a shift in the influential panel’s guidelines although it’s not likely to end confusion. Other health groups differ over when and how often to screen. “This new recommendation will help save lives and prevent more women from dying due to breast cancer,” said former task force chair Dr. Carol Mangione. The task force noted that Black women are 40% more likely to die of breast cancer than white women, making mammograms at 40 an especially important step -– but also urged more research to better understand and combat the disparity. The task force also noted that nearly half of all women have dense breasts, which means mammograms may not work as well, and called for more research into whether additional types of testing would help. The draft recommendation applies to women at average risk of breast cancer but not those at very high risk due to certain genetic or other factors. It is open for public comment through June 5, after which the task force will decide whether to finalize it. While cancer deaths have been declining for years, breast cancer remains the second leading cancer killer of U.S. woman, behind lung cancer. Health organizations have long had different screening recommendations, seeking to balance catching breast cancer early while avoiding too many false alarms, when the X-rays spot non-cancerous blips. The American Cancer Society says women ages 45 to 54 should get mammograms every year -– but can choose to start at 40 and then at 55, can choose to switch to every other year. The American College of Radiology recommends annual mammograms starting at 40 for women at average risk of breast cancer -– but urges that young women get assessed for risk factors that require even earlier screening. ___ The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science and Educational Media Group.

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police are searching for two men responsible for the break-in of an automatic teller machine on the city’s far West Side early Tuesday morning. The incident occurred just before 5 a.m. on Marbach Road, near Hunt Lane. According to police, the two men used a chain attached to a stolen pickup truck and yanked the front off of an ATM. Police said the men were able to get into the cash box and got a good amount money. Witnesses told officers that they saw two people involved. SAPD said they found the stolen truck abandoned nearby, on Garden Brook Street. They believe the men were followed by a second car and then they left the area in the other vehicle. The men have not been found. Authorities have since shut down one lane of Marbach Road and the entire bank parking lot as part of their investigation. Part of the ATM can be found in the middle of Marbach Road. Security guards say they saw a pickup truck leaving the scene, but police did not give a description of the suspects or the vehicle.

NEW YORK (NEXSTAR) — Bed Bath & Beyond said Wednesday that it will shutter stores and lay off workers in a bid to turn around its beleaguered business. Sue Grove, director and interim CEO, called the move a “back to basics” philosophy that would allow the company to focus on better serving customers and driving growth. The home goods retailer based in Union, New Jersey, said it will close about 150 of its namesakes stores and slash its workforce by 20%. It estimated those cuts would save $250 million in the company’s current fiscal year. It also said it is considering selling more of its stock to shore up its finances and had lined up more than $500 million of new financing. When asked which locations would be closing, a Bed Bath & Beyond spokesperson told Nexstar it would share the information “when available.” But it will keep its buybuy Baby chain, which earlier this year it considered selling. “We have taken a thorough look at our business, and today, we are announcing immediate actions aimed to increase customer engagement, drive traffic, and recapture market share,” Grove said. “This includes changing our merchandising and inventory strategy, which will be rooted in National Brands. Additionally, we are focused on driving digital and foot traffic, as well as optimizing our store fleet. We believe these changes will have a widespread positive impact across customer experience, inventory assortment, supply chain execution and cost structure.” Bed Bath & Beyond’s stock fell more than 21% Wednesday and is down 65% in the last 12 months. In late June, a report from Bank of America analysts claimed that, among other concerning trends, the company allegedly turned off air conditioning in stores to save money. A spokesperson told Nexstar at the time that “no Bed Bath & Beyond stores were directed to adjust their air conditioning and there have been no corporate policy changes in regard to utilities usage.” Mired in a prolonged sales slump, the company also announced Wednesday that it will revert to its original strategy of focusing on national brands, instead of pushing its own store labels. That reverses a strategy embraced by its former CEO Mark Tritton, who was ousted in June after less than three years at the helm. It said it would get rid of one-third of its store brands, which had started to be rolled out in the last year or so. “There’s still an incredible degree of love for Bed Bath & Beyond,” Mara Sirhal, the newly named brand president of Bed Bath & Beyond, told industry analysts Wednesday. “We must get back to our rightful place as the home-category destination, and our goal is to achieve this by leading with the products and brands our customers want.” As of May, the retailer operated a total of 955 stores, including 769 Bed Bath & Beyond stores, 135 buybuy Baby stores and 51 stores under the names Harmon, Harmon Face Values or Face Values. As of February, it had roughly 32,000 employees. Time is of the essence for the company heading into the critical holiday shopping season. It said it expects a 26% decline in comparable sales for its fiscal second quarter, which ended Saturday. It burned through $325 million of cash in the quarter. Sirhal said the retailer wants to get back to being a place where shoppers find innovative items. For example, Bed Bath & Beyond was the first to bring items like the air fryer and the single-serve coffee maker to its customers, she said. Neil Saunders, managing director at GlobalData Retail, said he applauds the strategic shift. But he said that task is “easier said than done” and will require much closer relationships with suppliers to secure unique offerings. “If Bed Bath & Beyond simply stocks the same sort of things as can be found at Target, Walmart, or Amazon, then it will struggle to differentiate and will find margins compressed as it needs to match on price, ” he said. Bed Bath & Beyond has been facing lots of turbulence recently. Its shares made a monstrous run from $5.77 to $23.08 in a little more than two weeks in August, in trading reminiscent of last year’s meme-stock craze, when out-of-favor companies suddenly became darlings of smaller-pocketed investors. But the shares fell back to earth after a deep-pocketed investor, activist Ryan Cohen, the billionaire co-founder of online pet-products retailer Chewy Inc., sold his entire stake in the company. In March, Cohen had purchased a nearly 10% stake in Bed Bath & Beyond, giving investors hope he could turn around the company’s finances. The stock ended Wednesday down $2.58 at $9.53. The company said that it is still searching for a permanent CEO. Board member Sue Gove took over as interim CEO, replacing Tritton. Chief Operating Office John Hartmann is leaving the company, and it’s eliminating that position. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Memphis police find unidentified body 3 days after a teacher was abducted Memphis police found an unidentified body Monday about 20 minutes from where teacher Eliza "Liza" Fletcher was violently abducted three days ago, according to a tweet from the police department. "The identity of this person and the cause of death is unconfirmed at this time. The investigation is ongoing," the tweet said. Police have been searching the Memphis area for Fletcher, 34, since Friday. The mother of two was jogging around 4 a.m. when a black GMC Terrain SUV passed by her, according to surveillance footage obtained of the incident. A man was then seen getting out of the vehicle and running "aggressively" toward Fletcher and forcing her into the passenger side of the SUV. Once both individuals were inside the SUV, the vehicle remained in a parking lot for about four minutes before driving away, according to the footage cited in an affidavit obtained by CNN. The affidavit stated police found "physical evidence that she suffered serious injury." Cleotha Abston, 38, was arrested Saturday after police found the GMC Terrain in a parking lot near his residence, according to the affidavit. The vehicle had the same distinguishable damage and partial license plate identification seen in the surveillance footage from Fletcher's abduction. Abston attempted to flee after U.S. Marshals located him nearby, the affidavit said. He was charged with especially aggravated kidnapping and tampering with evidence. The suspect is being held in the Shelby County Jail on $500,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday, according to jail records. It is unclear whether he has an attorney. DNA on sandals led authorities to Abston DNA recovered from a pair of sandals found near where authorities believe Fletcher was abducted helped investigators identify and arrest Abston, according to the affidavit. Surveillance footage captured from a local theater the day before Fletcher's disappearance showed Abston wearing what authorities believe are the same pair of Champion slide sandals found at the crime scene, according to the affidavit. Additional surveillance footage matched with statements from Abston's employer confirmed the vehicle in question belongs to a woman associated with Abston's home address. Cell phone records also place Abston at the site during the time of Fletcher's abduction on Friday morning, the affidavit said. Fletcher's damaged phone was found near the scene where she was abducted, CrimeStoppers Executive Director Buddy Chapman said, according to a news release obtained by CNN affiliate WHBQ. According to the affidavit, a witness said she saw Abston at his brother's house after the abduction. Both the witness and his brother said Abston was behaving oddly as he cleaned the interior of his SUV and washed his clothes in the sink. Photos released by police show Fletcher running in the neighborhood near the University of Memphis. She was last seen wearing a pink jogging top and purple running shorts, police said in an alert. Fletcher is White, 5 feet 6 inches tall, with brown hair and green eyes, police said. She weighs 137 pounds. Her family is offering a $50,000 reward through CrimeStoppers for information leading to an arrest in the case, WHBQ reported. "We look forward to Eliza's safe return and hope that this award will help police capture those who committed this crime," her family said in a statement shared by Chapman. In a post on Twitter, St. Mary's Episcopal School said Fletcher is a junior kindergarten teacher. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said in a tweet it is assisting Memphis police in the investigation. Abston served time for a prior kidnapping charge Abston previously served prison time for an aggravated kidnapping more than 20 years ago, court records show. He pleaded guilty in November 2001 to the charge of especially aggravated kidnapping. He was released in November 2020, according to court records. The Shelby County District Attorney's Office told WREG Abston was convicted in the kidnapping of a local attorney in 2000. Three additional charges were added for Abston since his arrest Saturday, according to Shelby County Jail Records. Those charges include identity theft, theft of property $1000 or less and fraudulent use/illegal possession of a credit or debit card $1000 or less, records show. The newly filed charges Abston are not related to Fletcher's abduction, according to an affidavit obtained by CNN affiliate WHBQ. The new charges are connected to a Thursday theft report filed by a woman who reported that someone was using her CashApp card and Wisley Card at gas stations without her knowledge. CNN has reached out to the Shelby County District Attorney and Memphis Police regarding the additional charges.

Veteran actor Sheryl Lee Ralph, an ageless stalwart of the industry who won an Emmy as a first-time nominee at the age of 66, relished in her victory by bellowing powerful lyrics about being an “Endangered Species,” and imploring others to never give up on themselves no matter how long it takes to be seen. Ralph took home television’s highest honor Monday night for best supporting actress in a comedy for her role as Barbara Howard, a beloved, matriarchal Kindergarten teacher on “Abbott Elementary,” the ABC “mockumentary” sitcom about high-spirited teachers in a woefully underfunded Philadelphia public school. In tears before gathering herself to accept the trophy inside the Microsoft Theater, Ralph opened her acceptance speech with a powerfully delivered acapella version of the song “Endangered Species” by Dianne Reeves, belting: “I am a woman, I am an artist/And I know where my voice belongs.” “To anyone who has ever, ever had a dream and thought your dream wasn’t, wouldn’t, couldn’t come true, I am here to tell you that this is what believing looks like,” Ralph declared before pumping her fist. “This is what striving looks like!” Ralph’s honor comes after decades in the business with multiple iconic roles – from “Dreamgirls” on Broadway in the 1980s, to stepmother to the title character on the 1990s sitcom “Moesha.” In an interview with the Associated Press, Ralph relayed excitement about diversity at the Emmys, praising the Korean language “Squid Game” as well as her own show, “Abbott Elementary,” which has a majority-Black cast. “The fact that this is the first time since the 1980s that people in a majority Black cast have all been nominated, the first time in 40 years,” Ralph said. “The fact that it is my first nomination, my first invitation to the awards and guess what? Nothing before its time. Everything is right on time. And I’m happy to be here because I’m sailing, baby. I’m loving it.” Ahead of the award show, Ralph spoke on the red carpet about finally being appreciated in Hollywood, saying she initially thought the Mrs. Howard role would be a thankless gig. “I was just doing my job because I felt like that. I thought that I was just going to be there collecting a check,” Ralph said in an interview with People magazine. “I had no idea that people would see the subtleties in the work. It’s very easy for people to miss the layers that you put in sometimes as an actor. And they saw it all.” She also recalled how decades ago, legendary actor Robert De Niro advised her to keep going even though Hollywood was “not looking for the Black girls.” “Thirty years later, I am seeing my nomination, and thank God I didn’t give up on me because it’s been a rough climb, but it’s worth every step,” Ralph said moments before her win. Ralph was resplendent in a black velvet strapless gown with orange underside and a slit to her upper thigh and rocked a bedazzled high ponytail, with social media taking note of her sexy look that defied her age. “You don’t make it at 30, you can make it at 50,” Ralph said in an interview with E! “You don’t make it at 50, you can make it at 60 and still give them goodness.”

As Republicans prepare to take control of the U.S. House of Representatives next week, the highlights of their approach to climate change and energy issues can be summed up in a Toby Keith song. "Made in America" centers on an aging farmer with "dirty hands and a clean soul." The song says it "breaks his heart seeing foreign cars, filled with fuel that isn't ours." The video shows an older white man, flags waving and builds to a crescendo of, "He ain't prejudice, he's just made in America." The song, released more than a decade ago, played as Republican House leaders strode on stage near Pittsburgh in September to announce their "Commitment to America." In addition to issues like crime and immigration, energy and climate policy comes under a section on the economy on current Republican leader Kevin McCarthy's website. The plans include boosting domestic oil and gas drilling, building more climate-friendly energy sources like nuclear and hydropower, changing environmental permitting to make construction easier, securing supply chains so other countries – notably China – can't dominate them and planting trees to pull more carbon from the atmosphere. Like Keith's song, the plans may sound straightforward but dig deeper and it's more complicated. It's not clear these efforts would lead to the greenhouse gas emission reductions scientists say are needed to keep warming less than 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and avoid the worst effects of climate change. Beyond that, it's unlikely the slim Republican majority in the House will be able to pass the legislation proposed, because Democrats still control the Senate and the White House. Making a statement While House Republicans may have difficulty passing laws, their majority comes with a big voice and they plan to use it. At the event outside Pittsburgh, Republican Whip and Louisiana Representative Steve Scalise highlighted concern over gasoline prices and the cost to heat homes. "We have a plan to lower energy costs – to get us back, not only to lower energy costs, but energy independence. We shouldn't be buying oil and natural gas from Russia or Iran or Saudi Arabia. We can make it right here in America, like you make steel in Pittsburgh," said Scalise as the crowd applauded. From that, you might not know U.S. oil production has been on the rise for more than a decade and most imported oil comes from Canada. Also, the U.S. was a net exporter of petroleum products for 2020 and 2021. Despite a warming planet, Republicans and the oil industry say there's room for more growth in domestic fossil fuel production. It's worth noting that oil and gas companies give campaign contributions overwhelmingly to the GOP. Another way Republican leaders plan to use their new voice is by scrutinizing a budget law Democrats passed this year, called the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). It allocates the most money ever for climate change efforts, about $370 billion. Some Republicans are particularly interested in a Department of Energy loan program designed to advance cleaner technologies the private sector won't yet fund. Under the IRA, the program will be expanded. "It's Solyndra on steroids," says Washington Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, who is the Republican leader on the House Energy and Commerce Committee and likely will become chair. Solyndra was a solar power company, backed by federal loan guarantees, that collapsed in a spectacular bankruptcy during the Obama administration. It cost the federal government more than a half-billion dollars, though the loan guarantee program recovered from that loss a few years later. In a video on Twitter McMorris Rodgers expressed concern that the IRA, "pumps $250 billion of loan authority into a similar type of loan guarantee program." She sent a letter to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm about the loan program. Republicans on the Energy and Commerce Committee at the end of September sent more than a dozen inquiries to the Biden administration – a preview of the oversight work GOP leaders say they expect to do more of in 2023. Climate groups shift focus For climate and environmental groups, GOP control of the House has them redirecting their efforts to the executive branch. "We now have to ensure that the Inflation Reduction Act is implemented and that that happens quickly," says Tiernan Sittenfeld, who's senior vice president of government affairs at the League of Conservation Voters. The Biden administration has a goal of 50 - 52% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, based on 2005 levels, by 2030. Sittenfeld says the IRA should get the country to 40%. That still leaves 10% left to cut. Sittenfeld says executive actions, such as regulations to reduce power plant and transportation emissions, could help the country make that up. She says states with their own climate plans, notably California and New York, also will contribute. New climate legislation, though, may have to wait. "We are already looking to the 2024 elections and making sure that we elect environmental champions up and down the ballot," says Sittenfeld. With a presidential election on the horizon in two years, the country's transition away from climate-warming fossil fuel emissions continues. New tax credits are coming into effect for a wide range of climate-friendly purchases, like buying an electric car or a more efficient furnace. Those begin January first – two days before Republicans take control of the House. Copyright 2022 NPR. To see more, visit https://www.npr.org.

Washington D.C., New York City and Seattle retain top spots for second year in a row despite economic impacts of inflation TYSONS, Va., Oct. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the PenFed Foundation, a national 501(c)(3) founded by PenFed Credit Union, announced the findings of its annual study on the top U.S. cities for veteran entrepreneurs. The PenFed Foundation Veteran Entrepreneur Investment Program (VEIP), which supports veteran-owned startups and businesses through access to networks and capital, conducted the study in partnership with Edelman Intelligence. According to the 2022 study, for the second year in a row, Washington, D.C., New York, and Seattle proved to be the top cities for veterans to start their businesses. The top emerging cities, or those that made the most progress since the PenFed Foundation's 2021 study, include Sioux Falls, Tampa, Cincinnati and Rapid City. The study analyzed four main categories for each city, which include livability, economic growth, support for veterans, and ability to start a business. As the nation navigates the economic impacts of inflation, the study focused especially on how inflation impacts cities differently. The full study results can be found here. "The military community's resilience and entrepreneurial spirit is invaluable for our nation's business sector. That's why PenFed is proud to commission this study for the third year in a row highlighting the cities that are making strides to support veteran businesses," said, PenFed Credit Union President/CEO and PenFed Foundation CEO James Schenck. "We want to help cities across the United States understand which environments are best suited for military veterans to start and grow businesses and inspire city leaders to take the actions needed to support veteran entrepreneurs." "Additionally, veteran-owned businesses often hire more veterans, so supporting veteran entrepreneurs provides more jobs and opportunities for the greater military community, who have served as PenFed's base of membership since 1935," added Schenck. The top 20 cities for veteran entrepreneurs with (changes since the 2021 report) include: 1) Washington –Arlington –Alexandria DC-VA-MD-WV Metro Area ( - ) 2) New York –Newark –Jersey City NY-NJ-PA Metro Area ( - ) 3) Seattle –Tacoma –Bellevue WA Metro Area ( - ) 4) Dallas –Fort Worth –Arlington TX Metro Area (+1) 5) Houston –The Woodlands –Sugar Land TX Metro Area (+7) 6) Austin –Round Rock TX Metro Area (+7) 7) Sioux Falls SD Metro Area (+13) 8) Cleveland -Elyria OH Metro Area (-1) 9) Rapid City SD Metro Area (+12) 10) Boston –Cambridge -Newton MA-NH Metro Area (-4 ) 11) Raleigh NC Metro Area (-2) 12) Tampa –St. Petersburg -Clearwater FL Metro Area (+12) 13) Madison WI Metro Area (+4) 14) Kansas City MO-KS Metro Area (-6) 15) Minneapolis –St. Paul –Bloomington MN-WI Metro Area (-9) 16) Chicago –Naperville –Elgin IL-IN-WI Metro Area (-12) 17) Columbus OH Metro Area (-1) 18) Cincinnati OH-KY-IN Metro Area (+11) 19) Jacksonville FL Metro Area (-4) 20) McAllen –Edinburg -Mission TX Metro Area (+6) The top four emerging cities for veteran entrepreneurs are: 1) Sioux Falls SD Metro Area (+13) 2) Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater FL Metro Area (+12) 3) Cincinnati OH-KY-IN Metro Area (+11) 4) Rapid City SD Metro Area (+6) To paint the full picture of veteran support, city characteristics and entrepreneurship ability across the US, the study used a custom scoring algorithm based on a robust set of quantitative data from existing PenFed partners and openly available data sources. 390 metropolitan statistical areas were evaluated. VEIP has a three-pronged approach to create a robust network for veteran-owned startups and businesses: - Education through virtual and in-person workshops; - Preparation through the Master's Program, a yearlong fundraising accelerator, and Ignition Challenges; and - Investment of seed capital, providing access to other capital investment programs and connecting entrepreneurs to funders. Since 2018, the PenFed Foundation VEIP has accelerated more than 350 veteran-owned startups and helped educate over 4,700 veteran and military spouse entrepreneurs.

The peak of Mauna Kea, a shield volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii, is one of the world's most remote places. The mountain's flat shape, gentle winds, and low humidity make it perfect for watching the stars. "You add it all up and Mauna Kea is arguably number one in the world as a site for locating telescopes," said Doug Simons, the director of the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy. The land on the mountain had been primarily administered by the university since the 1960s, but changes are on the way. A state law passed last month will transfer authority to a new stewardship authority composed of scientists, university officials and people in the local community. The law is an important step towards ensuring the protection of Mauna Kea, a mountain native Hawaiians consider sacred, says Dr. Noe Noe Wong-Wilson, the executive director of the Lālākea Foundation, which aims to preserve the cultural practices and traditions of native Hawaiians. "We do, to this day, believe that Mauna Kea, and the summit area in particular, is the place where the Earth Mother, or Papa, meets the Sky Father, Wākea," she said. "So all life begins at that point. And in our cosmology, and many of our ancient chants, Mauna Kea, the mountain, is the first born out of that union." More than 11,000 acres of state-owned land on the mountain were leased to the University of Hawaii in 1968. This granted the university the right to use the land for scientific purposes, and to sublease land on the mountain to those wanting to build observatories on its peak. They've had control over managing the land there ever since. There are now a total of 13 observatories on the mountain, with plans to decommission two of them to help reduce astronomers' footprint on the mountain. But there are plans to add another, much bigger telescope already under way. The Thirty-Meter Telescope, or "TMT", named after the diameter of its primary mirror, would be one of the world's largest upon completion. Scientists are excited about the new project, which was first granted a sublease on Mauna Kea in 2014. Its website says the new observatory would be able to provide images 12 times sharper than the Hubble Space Telescope and four times sharper than the new James Webb Space Telescope. But there was strong opposition to its arrival. Activists, including native Hawaiians and conservationists, protested the TMT multiple times between 2014 and 2019, saying its massive size could potentially spoil the land on Mauna Kea's already crowded summit. Those protests, among other things, have stalled development on the project. Wong-Wilson said native Hawaiians had been trying for decades to give their input on how the mountain — or mauna, in Hawaiian — should be managed, but their voices were often left unheard. "Our plea was to consider the overall impact of all this development," Wong-Wilson said. "The decisions just never went our way." There had been calls for changes to the management structure on the mountain, with many criticizing the University of Hawaii for its management. These re-emerged last year, with Hawaii House Speaker Scott Saiki making his position clear in a February address to the chamber. "The University has tried to manage Mauna Kea, but for too long the University's work has been shrouded by its inability to appropriately manage cultural practices, resources and education," Saiki said. "This is why the University of Hawaii must no longer manage Mauna Kea and it should cease its work to extend the master lease." University officials have acknowledged previous criticisms and apologized for them on multiple occasions, citing their continued commitment to protecting the mountain. The result of those negotiations was a new bill, which proposed to create a new group tasked with managing the land: the Mauna Kea Stewardship and Oversight Authority. The 11-member panel would include representatives from the university, the observatories, and — most notably for Wong-Wilson — two seats for native Hawaiians. "This new act is the first time that native Hawaiians, cultural practitioners, and the community really have an opportunity to sit at the decision-making table and help to govern this very important place," Wong-Wilson said. The authority will begin to administer the mountain jointly with the University of Hawaii in 2023. Then the new body will fully take over in 2028. One of the first things on its plate will be the negotiation of new land leases on the mountain for its existing observatories. The original lease granted to the University of Hawaii says that all telescopes must stop operating by the time the lease expires in 2033. John O'Meara, chief scientist at the Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea, said that means the next few years will be crucial for astronomy in Hawaii. Once it has full control over the mountain, the group will be tasked with negotiating new leases for the mountain's new and existing observatories to prevent them from being decommissioned. Despite the uncertainty surrounding how negotiations will go, O'Meara said he thinks the creation of the new authority was a step in the right direction. "I'm confident that astronomy can thrive in Mauna Kea and in Hawaii before 2033 and after," O'Meara said, "Because we're coming to a place of mutual stewardship — of everybody recognizing that it's the mauna at the center of this and not any one player." How the authority will act depends on who gets appointed to serve as its members, a process that will be completed when the legislature reconvenes next year. Copyright 2022 NPR.

(AP) — A Walmart employee who survived last week’s mass shooting at a store in Virginia has filed a $50 million lawsuit against the company for allegedly continuing to employ the shooter — a store supervisor — “who had known propensities for violence, threats and strange behavior.” The lawsuit, which appears to be the first to stem from the shooting, was filed Tuesday in Chesapeake Circuit Court by Donya Prioleau. Walmart, which is headquartered in Bentonville, Arkansas, said in a statement that it was reviewing the complaint and will respond “as appropriate with the court.” “The entire Walmart family is heartbroken by the loss of the valued members of our team,” the company said. “Our deepest sympathies go out to our associates and everyone impacted, including those who were injured. We are focused on supporting all our associates with significant resources, including counseling.” Prioleau’s suit alleges that she has experienced post-traumatic stress disorder, including physical and emotional distress, from witnessing the rampage in the store’s breakroom on Nov. 22. Her lawsuit offers fresh details of the terrifying attack and provides a long list of troubling signs displayed by the shooter that she claims managers failed to address. “Bullets whizzed by Plaintiff Donya Prioleau’s face and left side, barely missing her,” the lawsuit states. “She witnessed several of her coworkers being brutally murdered on either side of her.” The lawsuit adds: “Ms. Prioleau looked at one of her coworkers in the eyes right after she had been shot in the neck. Ms. Prioleau saw the bullet wound in her coworker’s neck, the blood rushing out of it, and the shocked look on her coworker’s helpless face.” Store supervisor Andre Bing, 31, fatally shot six employees and wounded several others before he died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot, police said. The lawsuit alleges that Bing “had a personal vendetta against several Walmart employees and kept a ‘kill list’ of potential targets prior to the shooting.” The list is in reference to a “death note” found on Bing’s phone and released Friday by authorities. The note appeared to contain specific references to people he worked with, but authorities redacted their names. Bing was a Walmart team leader who had worked for the company since 2010. He was responsible for managing the overnight stocking crew, including Prioleau, who started her job in May 2021, the lawsuit says. The lawsuit claims management knew or should have known about Bing’s disturbing behavior and lists several instances of alarming conduct. “Prior to the shooting, Mr. Bing repeatedly asked coworkers if they had received their active shooter training,” the suit states. “When coworkers responded that they had, Mr. Bing just smiled and walked away without saying anything.” Bing “made comments to other Walmart employees and managers suggesting that he would be violent if fired or disciplined,” according to the suit, which also says Bing “was disciplined leading up to the shooting, making his violent outburst predictable.” In another instance, Bing told co-workers “he ran over a turtle with a lawnmower just to see its (guts) spray out, which made him hungry and reminded him of ramen noodles,” the lawsuit says. Bing was previously disciplined for bad behavior and harassing employees, but Walmart “kept employing him anyway,” the suit says. In her court filing, Prioleau states that she and her mother attempted to take action against Bing. Prioleau had submitted a formal complaint on a Walmart Global Ethics Statement Form indicating that Bing had “bizarrely and inappropriately commented on Ms. Prioleau’s age,” the lawsuit stated. The lawsuit alleges that Bing told her: “Isn’t your lady clock ticking? Shouldn’t you be having kids?” Prioleau also complained that Bing had harassed her for “being poor and being short,” according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit states that she also informed Walmart that Bing called her a “bitch” under his breath. In September, Prioleau’s mother expressed concerns to a Walmart manager about her daughter’s safety “because it appeared their concerns were falling on deaf ears,” the lawsuit states. The manager said “there was nothing that could be done about Mr. Bing because he was liked by management,” according to the suit. Before the shooting, Bing told co-workers that “the government was watching him,” the suit says. “He kept black tape on his phone camera so no one could spy on him.” In the note left on his phone, Bing claimed he was harassed and said he was pushed to the brink by a perception that his phone was hacked. The note also accused colleagues of mocking him. Bing’s death note rambles at times through 11 paragraphs, with references to nontraditional cancer treatments and songwriting. He says people unfairly compared him to serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Jessica Wilczewski, a Walmart employee who witnessed the shooting, told The Associated Press last week that Bing seemed to target certain people. “The way he was acting — he was going hunting,” she said. In a note to employees on Tuesday, Walmart president and CEO John Furner wrote that the people who were killed were “amazing, irreplaceable members of our family.” “The Walmart Foundation also intends to contribute $1 million to the United Way of South Hampton Roads’ Hope & Healing Fund, which will support those impacted by the shooting and the broader Chesapeake community,” Furner wrote.

Poguelandia is back! Outer Banks has set a premiere date for season 3, Netflix revealed on Tuesday. The series will return with 10 hour-long episodes Thursday, Feb. 23. According to Netflix's synopsis, season 3 finds "the Pogues washed ashore on a desert island that, for a brief moment, seems like an idyllic home. Officially deemed 'Poguelandia,' the island’s newest residents spend their days fishing, swimming and reveling in the carefree lifestyle of their temporary dwelling. But things quickly go south for John B (Chase Stokes), Sarah (Madelyn Cline), Kiara (Madison Bailey), Pope (Jonathan Daviss), JJ (Rudy Pankow) and Cleo (Carlacia Grant) when they find themselves once again caught up in a race for the treasure, quite literally running for their lives. They’re broke and far from home, they can’t trust anyone, Ward (Charles Esten) and Rafe (Drew Starkey) are hungry for revenge and there’s a ruthless Caribbean Don who will stop at nothing to find the bounty. Was the treasure ever within their reach? Or was it all a trap to stop them once and for all? Either way, it’s the Pogues against the world -- and the only way out is together." “The stakes are ramping up. The Pogues realize that their adventures in the first two seasons were merely the prelude to the granddaddy of all treasure hunts," co-creators and executive producers Jonas Pate, Josh Pate and Shannon Burke said in a joint statement. “The cast have been fast friends in real life pretty much from the very beginning, and it’s been so gratifying to see those connections deepen over the years we’ve worked on the show. They are truly Pogues for life.” As part of the announcement, Netflix released the first photos from the new season. See them below. Following the season 2 drop in summer 2021, which ended on the stunning reveal that John B's father is alive, ET spoke with Stokes about what that revelation means for his character's journey moving forward. "We left enough little Easter eggs, I felt like, in season 1, but we didn't know at the time, right? By the time we finished season 1, went into season 2, there was no conversation about his dad being alive," Stokes told ET at the time. "So when we got that script, I was like, 'Oh my gosh, this changes everything. This whole journey.'" "Then the fact that Limbrey and his dad know each other, I didn't know how to process. I felt like my internal circuits were just shutting down," he added. "So I'm excited to see where it goes... I just think it opens so many doors, so I'm excited." The actor theorized over how John B's father being back in the picture will "impact everything." "How does that change John B's dynamic? Is he going to accept it? Is he not? Is he going to open up with his son about what he was doing and how he was involved with these people?" Stokes asked. "What is this dynamic with John B and his father going to be like? He's been sort of manically chasing this idea of getting his father back and not believing that he's alive for a while. What does that do to your psyche when you finally realize that this whole sort of crazy, chaotic experience kind of comes to a close, because everything that you were chasing is actually real? It's alive. He is alive. He does still have his father." RELATED CONTENT:

(NEXSTAR) – It’s probably happened to you. You pull up to a stop light, and you wait patiently for the light to turn green. Maybe cross traffic continues moving through the intersection, or maybe you’re the only car at the intersection. Yet somehow, the light never seems to turn green. Chances are, you’re sitting at a light that doesn’t know you’re there. Some traffic lights run on timers, which can vary by the time of day or during certain events. In Minneapolis, for example, there are set patterns for lights during Minnesota Twins or Timberwolves games and other special events. If that’s the case, you’ll be stuck waiting your turn for the light to change. However, other traffic lights rely on detection devices, including cameras or underground sensors. You’ve likely seen the latter — before the stop line, you’ll notice a rectangle outlined in tar or that has a different color than the pavement around it. This is known as an induction loop. “A loop is simply a coil of wire that is placed underneath the pavement, usually in the shape of a rectangle,” the public works department for Neenah, Wisconsin, explains. “When a large metal object is positioned over the loop (for example, a car), it affects the loop’s magnetic field.” Once the traffic signal detects your vehicle, it knows it has to change the light. Sometimes setting off these sensors can be difficult since vehicles need to pass over or stop within its detection area. To ensure you’re within that detection area, you’ll need to pull up to the solid white stop line at the intersection. Not driving a car? Instead of parking your motorcycle, bicycle, moped, or other similar vehicle in the center of the loop, Neenah Public Works recommends positioning your tires on the tar lines. Two other sensors, magnetic detectors and magnetometers, detect differences in the Earth’s magnetic field, caused by a vehicle passing over or stopping on it, to control the lights, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration. Like the induction loop, you’ll need to position your vehicle over the detectors to activate the light. A traffic signal may also rely on sensors stationed above the roadway. That includes infrared sensors, which are triggered once a vehicle breaks a beam of light or if it detects heat from a vehicle’s engine. Other signals may also use cameras, which can be connected to a network designed to detect traffic and adjust the signals as needed (those cameras may also be watching to catch drivers that run red lights). You should be able to see both at the traffic light. They’ll look like a security camera you may see at a bank or store, often next to the traffic light itself. Some infrared laser sensors are contained in metal boxes hanging above the roadway. In many cases, an intersection will rely on a combination of the above methods to control the lights. Los Angeles, for example, deployed a system in 2021 that uses magnetic sensors, cameras, and a central computer network to control all of its 4,400 traffic lights to combat gridlock. If you are stuck at a red light, and have already tried pulling forward onto the sensor, you can also try flashing your high-beam headlights to activate the sensor. Honking your horn will not work, since these sensors don’t detect sound. Even if it’s taking a long time to change, don’t run it. If you’re trying to turn left or go straight, you may need to look for another opportunity to get out of the intersection. This could include making a right turn, where legal, and rerouting yourself where you need to go. If you find yourself waiting on a left turn light, you can turn through the red signal when the light turns green for traffic traveling straight ahead, California Highway Patrol Officer Dan Olivas explained to the Press Enterprise. He encourages being “safe about it” and, if you are stopped, explaining the situation to law enforcement.

Reconnecting Olmsted’s Delaware Park has long been a dream for everyone who has experienced its dissection by a highway. It’s incredible that anyone thought it was a good idea to build a highway through a world-class park, but, sadly, in the '50s and '60s, urban development around the country focused on motor vehicles and how quickly they could move from suburbs to city centers. More recently, the Greater Buffalo Niagara Regional Transportation Council was tasked by former Gov. Andrew Cuomo with examining the impact of Route 198 (Scajaquada Expressway) on our community. This time around, the focus was on people, not just vehicles, resulting in recommendations that include stitching Delaware Park back to its former glory. But what also delights us is the brilliant visioning in the recommendations for the western end of the corridor. Removing the ramps between Route 198 and I-190 will bring innumerable benefits to our neighborhoods, restore Scajaquada Creek and re-create the Black Rock Harbor. People are also reading… Re-creation of Black Rock Harbor completes the waterfront vision of Outer Harbor, Inner Harbor and Black Rock Harbor intersected and fed by Scajaquada Creek. It sets the stage for a renaissance similar if not greater than the cleanup of the Buffalo River and the benefits to the communities surrounding it. We have learned much since Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper led the cleanup of the Buffalo River. What was once a contaminated and derelict area now teems with economic activity. With Waterkeeper now turning their sights to the clean up of Scajaquada Creek and a strong coalition of groups to support that effort, we are ready to move forward. Pillars for the 198 ramps sit squarely in Scajaquada Creek and they must be removed. Dumping into the creek from the highway and elsewhere needs to stop. The scar we feel from the 198 is similar to how neighbors feel about Route 33: neither are acceptable. Reclaimed land around the creek will restore the “wide waters” stolen from the creek’s borders, increasing the value of that land and its connection to SUNY Buffalo State and the Niagara River. Studies such as the Tonawanda Brownfield Report, the Buffalo Waterfront Plan and now the GBNRTC plan for Region Central document the potential value of our waterfront. Enough planning – let’s get to work on actual change to position our city and region for the future. The economic, environmental and social benefits are innumerable. Our city deserves a bold and beautiful reimagining of our waterfront. The time to act is now.

Police dig through trash for clues in woman’s disappearance COHASSET, Mass. (AP) — Investigators will inspect several items they found at a Boston-area trash processing facility to determine if they are connected to the disappearance of a Massachusetts woman, authorities said Tuesday. Police combed through trash at the Peabody facility on Monday looking for clues in the disappearance of Ana Walshe, 39. “Search activity conducted north of Boston yesterday resulted in a number of items being collected which will now be subject to processing and testing to determine if they are of evidentiary value to this investigation,” the office of Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey said in a statement. The statement did not say what the items were. Ana Walshe, a mother of three, was last seen on New Year’s Day at her home in Cohasset, an affluent coastal community about 15 miles southeast of Boston. She was supposed to take a ride-hailing service to Logan International Airport for a flight to Washington, D.C., where she often worked, but authorities said there is no evidence she ever got into a vehicle or on a flight. Her husband, Brian Walshe, 47, is being held on $500,000 bail after pleading not guilty to misleading police investigating the disappearance. His attorney, Tracy Miner, said he has been “incredibly cooperative” with police and she requested low or no bail. Peabody is north of Boston, but not far from Swampscott, where Brian Walshe’s mother lives. A prosecutor said Monday that he visited his mother’s home on New Year’s Day.

Billy Ray Cyrus' "Achy Breaky Heart" seems to have moved on from Tish Cyrus. The 61-year-old country crooner and father of Miley Cyrus has seemingly started a new romance with 28-year-old Australian singer-songwriter Firerose. The two musicians have been featured on one another's social media accounts quite frequently in recent months. There's even been speculation that the pair are engaged after Firerose was spotted sporting a large diamond sparkler on that finger in recent pics. "They've been dating for a little while," a Cyrus family source tells People. "They grew close while working on music together. It is what it is. He and Tish were over before he started dating her." The source says that an engagement between the pair is unlikely, according to People. ET has reached out to Billy Ray's rep for comment. Billy Ray's ex, Tish, filed for divorce in April after 28 years of marriage. In the complaint for divorce, it was noted Tish and Billy Ray have not lived together since February 2020. Tish cited irreconcilable differences as the grounds for their divorce. The former couple shares five kids: Miley Cyrus, 29, Noah Cyrus, 22, and Braison Cyrus, 28, as well as Brandi Cyrus, 35, and Trace Cyrus, 33, whom Tish gave birth to prior to their relationship. Billy Ray also has a son, Christopher, with his ex, Kristin Luckey. Billy Ray and Firerose previously worked together on their collaboration track, "New Day," which was released in 2021. It is not clear exactly when their romance began. "We actually met 10 years ago on the set of Hannah Montana," Firerose shared of her relationship with Billy Ray during a 2021 interview on Live With Kelly and Ryan. "And Billy Ray's been a phenomenal supporter of my music ever since. He's just really believed in me and continued to tell me to pursue my dreams no matter what. The music industry's not easy, but he's been just a really incredible support." RELATED CONTENT:

Redesigned user experience and architecture gives the Hapbee community greater control of their sleep routines and supports strategic growth initiatives. VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Hapbee Technologies, Inc. (TSXV: HAPB) (OTCQB: HAPBF) (FSE: HA1) ("Hapbee" or the "Company"), the digital wellness technology company, has launched its redesigned and upgraded Hapbee Mobile App ("V2.0") and Firmware Operating System. The releases include a series of substantial consumer-facing product enhancements based on significant in-market testing and feedback from its growing community of passionate users. They also include critical new core functionalities that set the stage for the Company's next phase of platform growth, which will focus on partnerships and integrations. V2.0 started rolling out to select user groups in early July and completed distribution through Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store this month. Following the launch, Hapbee experienced its highest user engagement ever – with Daily Active Users reaching over 1,350 users per day during the first week of August 2022 representing a 125% increase vs. its previous peak achieved in Q4 2021. "It was clear based on input from our community what steps we needed to take in order to prepare Hapbee for long-term growth and mass customer adoption," said Yona Shtern, CEO of Hapbee. "Upgrading our user experience to make it more intuitive was a key element and we are delighted with the impressive customer engagement growth on the new platform. Building out an architecture capable of supporting user-generated content, partnerships and integrations, enterprise customers and the next generation of Hapbee-powered devices is a major step forward that has been months in the making." Routines - The Company has expanded its digital wellness library by introducing Wellness Routines, which allow users to time-release Blends in a "playlist" without having to start and stop. Routines are divided into 3 wellness categories: Sleep, Perform and Mood. Routines are especially useful for sleep, allowing users to "program" an entire night, eliminating the need to restart or switch Blends manually. Time-Picker / Favorites - V2.0's look and feel are more intuitive, providing easier navigation while allowing users to save their favorite Routines and Blends for quicker access. Enhanced Bluetooth – Vastly improved connectivity between the Hapbee App and Hapbee-powered devices means more reliable usage and less time pairing. In addition to user-facing improvements, Hapbee has released a major upgrade to its core operating architecture and Firmware Operating System to support several key strategic priorities that were not feasible in its previous app. My Routines – As Hapbee continues to expand its appeal to a larger audience, a growing number of users have approached the Company and proposed sharing their personal Hapbee use cases as examples that others may enjoy while using the platform. The ability to author and publish custom Routines is a key new functionality of the new Hapbee Platform. The Company plans to announce new user generated 'MyRoutine' drops authored by community members and available to Hapbee subscribers over the coming weeks.

Mahalo for supporting Honolulu Star-Advertiser. Enjoy this free story! With Mauna Loa erupting for the first time in nearly 40 years, I thought I’d ask readers about their first experience with the volcano. I remember mine vividly. It was pouring rain when I was first there in 1973. I got off the bus, and the wind destroyed my umbrella instantly. It was a short walk to the designated viewing location. I looked down into the circular Kilauea Caldera and saw lava bubbling and spattering 200 feet below. It was magical. Breathtaking. I took several photos and, soaking wet, got back on the bus. When I developed the film and showed a roommate a week later, she gasped and pointed: “Pele!” Part of the lava clearly looked like a woman’s body in profile, from her boots to her flowing hair. I hadn’t noticed until she brought it to my attention. Now, nearly 50 years later, I can’t not see it. Awesome sight Sam Wilson remembers seeing the volcano as a child. “On Dec. 17, 1959, my little brother and I were roughly awakened in the middle of the night and told to get into the car in a hurry. My father said we were going to see a volcanic eruption. Still in our pajamas, we fell asleep during the 50-minute drive to Kilauea Crater. “When we parked, there was already a mass of people streaming toward an astonishing bright reddish glow. As we walked closer to the rim, we could see a fairly narrow fountain shooting up into the night about half a mile away. “I felt the heat on my eyebrows, the hairs of which were crinkling and seemed ready to catch fire. I read later that the fountain that night reached 1,900 feet high. It was and still is the most awesome sight I have ever seen.” Melted sneakers Ken Fujii recalled an eruption of Mauna Loa during the summer of 1950. “School was out, and Mauna Loa erupted in early July. The first weekend, our family piled into our Ford and drove all the way past Volcano National Park to the area where the lava was crossing the highway. “The eruption was from the Southwest Rift Zone, where the terrain is steep, so the lava there traveled at a rapid clip, much faster than the flows on the Northeast Rift Zone area, where the terrain is more gradual. “We parked our car on the side of the road and walked a short distance to the brink of the lava flow. The edge was still hot but cool enough for us to climb up onto. “What a spectacular view! It was nighttime, so the glowing molten rock made a beautiful sight as the river of red-hot rock streamed rapidly downhill. “We could feel the intense heat from the lava radiating onto our faces, while the chilly night air cooled our backs. “A lot of the children and teens in the crowd were making souvenir paperweights with the lava. We got a stick and dipped it into the molten lava, and brought up a soft glob of it, into which we stuck a coin. “I had a 50-cent coin which I inserted into my dollop of lava, and the half-dollar immediately turned black from the sulfur reacting with the silver. “But in the midst of our activity, someone shouted, ‘The lava is coming towards us! Run!’ “Uphill, about a hundred yards away, the lava had broken through the solid dike and was headed downhill toward us and our parked cars. “We all rushed to our cars, and there was a mad scramble as all of them were facing the wrong way, and we all had to make quick U-turns to head away from the flow. “It was a frightening and exciting few minutes,” Fujii says, “as 30-40 cars tried to escape immolation by the lava. “Fortunately, no one got hurt that night. And as we drove away, my mom asked, ‘What’s that smell?’ I noticed that the soles of my Keds had melted as I stood on the hot lava flow and were now sticky, melted rubber. “I ended up with two souvenirs of the 1950 Mauna Loa lava flow: My coin in the lava and my partially melted sneakers.” Glass tinkling, cracking Sharon Maekawa said, “I recall taking my students from Liholiho Elementary School on Oahu on a trip to Hawaii island. It was when Kilauea erupted in 1983. That eruption covered Queen’s Bath, Kalapana and the Wahaula Heiau, which was once used for sacrificial purposes. “It was a cloudy day with light showers. We had stopped for lunch at the Wahaula Heiau Visitors Center, and after that a park ranger took us to a spot where we could walk to see the lava flow up close.” The Pahoehoe lava flow was slowly creeping along, Maekawa says, turning black as it cooled and then crackled as another red blob of lava slowly emerged. “It sounded like delicate glass tinkling and cracking, which was in sharp contrast with the surrounding black masses of newly formed land. “I never forgot the sight or sound of it until it was recently shown on the news by a reporter who was just as mesmerized by it as my students and I were. “There was a spiritual aura in the air which apparently, my normally rambunctious students could sense, as they were unusually calm and quiet.” Kalapana Virginia Moore said, “In the 1980s I was on leave from teaching in Virginia to get my master’s degree in education at UH Manoa. I went to the Big Island with my nephew, who lived on Oahu. “This was when lava flowed into the seaside town of Kalapana and destroyed it. Kalapana was world famous for its black-sand beach. I sat on the beach and watched the lava enter the sea. “I also saw palm trees burning. I made a video for my third graders back in Virginia, and told them what they were witnessing was the birth of the earth! “Daytime viewing was beautiful and enthralling. Staying until nighttime augmented the experience exponentially! Wow! What a sight! It was unforgettable!” Volcano viewing Joyce McCauley said, “In 1973 my New Yorker husband and I returned to Honolulu to live. We had great next-door neighbors in New York City who decided to come visit us with their three boys, since Kilauea had just started erupting and they felt it would be a great experience for them. “We spent a long weekend on the Big Island to see the eruption. We parked the car at the designated area and hiked over the cooled lava beds to a wooden lookout structure that was provided by the Park Service for viewing, maybe about a half a mile in. Several other visitors were also there. “We watched as lava spewed out of the fissure, all of us in awe, being maybe 100 yards away, hot enough to have to duck behind the wall of the structure periodically. The heat felt like standing in front of a smelter furnace at 1,000 degrees. “After being there for almost an hour, the rangers came to tell all of us on the viewing stand that the flow path had shifted and to evacuate quickly. “We were ushered back over the lumpy lava bed to our parked cars. It took us maybe 15 minutes. With the kids we couldn’t go much faster. “Finally, we got back to the car, piled in, and as we turned it around and started leaving, we looked back at the fountain and viewing stand. It suddenly burst into flames and burned down. “I guess Madam Pele did not want us so close!” Readers, what was your first experience with the volcano like?

Iowa law limits gender identity instruction, removes books depicting sex acts from school libraries DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa teachers will be banned from raising gender identity and sexual orientation issues with students through grade six, and all books depicting sex acts will be removed from school libraries, under a bill Republican Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed Friday. The new law is among similar measures that have been approved in other Republican-dominated statehouses around the country. As with many of those proposals, Iowa Republicans framed their action as a commonsense effort to ensure that parents can oversee what their children are learning in school and that teachers not delve into topics such as gender and sexuality. Despite the opposition of all Democratic legislators, Republicans who hold large majorities in Iowa’s state House and Senate approved the measure in April and there was little doubt that Reynolds would sign it; she had made issues related to gender identity and sexuality a focal point of her legislative agenda this year. “This legislative session, we secured transformational education reform that puts parents in the driver’s seat, eliminates burdensome regulations on public schools, provides flexibility to raise teacher salaries, and empowers teachers to prepare our kids for their future,” Reynolds said in a statement. Under the new law, school administrators also would be required to notify parents if students asked to change their pronouns or names. Religious texts will be exempt from the library ban on books depicting sex acts. Democrats and LGBTQ groups argued that the restrictions would hurt children by limiting their ability to be open with teachers about gender and sexuality issues and to see their lives reflected in books and other curriculum. The law’s passage was not a surprise, said Keenan Crow, director of policy and advocacy at the LGBTQ equality group One Iowa. “But we are still very disappointed by it.” “Like many other pieces of her agenda, this legislation punches down on a vulnerable group of kids, and it benefits no one,” Crow said of Reynolds. The law also requires schools to post online a list of books in libraries, along with instructions for parents on how to review them and classroom instructional material, and to request that any material be removed. Schools would need parental approval before they could give surveys to students related to numerous topics, including mental health issues, sex and political affiliation. Earlier this year, Reynolds signed two bills into law restricting the restrooms transgender students can use and banning gender-affirming medical care, such as puberty blockers, for people younger than 18. Last year, Reynolds signed a Republican-backed measure that prohibits transgender females from participating in girls high school and women’s college athletics. Like the newest law, both measures echo bills passed by Republican states around the country. Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia election officials hosted a dice roll at the state Capitol on Wednesday to launch an audit of votes in the recent election for secretary of state. One by one, people chosen randomly from a basket of names came up to a table and rolled a 10-sided die. In all, 20 dice were rolled, generating a number that was fed into a computer to determine the batches of votes counties must count as part of the audit. The audit stems from a law passed in 2019, not from any concerns about problems or the integrity of the state’s election results. An audit is required for general elections in even-numbered years on a race selected by the secretary of state. It must be completed before the election results are certified. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced last week that he was choosing his race for the audit. Raffensperger, a Republican, beat Democratic state House Rep. Bee Nguyen. Officials say the goal of the audit is to verify that the outcome of the secretary of state’s race was correct and more broadly, to boost confidence in elections. Former President Donald Trump targeted Raffensperger after the 2020 general election for failing to overturn his narrow loss in Georgia. In a now-notorious January 2021 phone call, Trump suggested Raffensperger could “find” enough votes to reverse Democrat Joe Biden’s presidential victory. Trump falsely blamed voter fraud for his loss in other states as well. State officials and federal investigators, including Trump’s own attorney general, have said there was no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 contest. Raffensperger defeated a Trump-endorsed primary challenger in this year’s election contest. As part of the audit, every county in the state must check the results recorded by vote-tallying scanners against a hand-count of ballots on the batches of votes selected. Gabe Sterling, a top official in the secretary of state’s office, said the dice roll was part of an effort to make the process of choosing vote batches as random as possible. “We won’t know in advance, so the counties can’t go, ‘I’ll make sure this batch is perfect and all the other ones are crap,’” he said. The counties must begin the audit on Thursday. The secretary of state’s office is asking them to complete it by the next day. The audit ends either when election officials reach a certain level of confidence that the outcome is correct or a full count has been performed. State law requires 90% certainty that the outcome is correct, but Raffensperger said last week he is increasing that to 95%, that is to say a “risk limit” of 5%.

The NFL updated its personal conduct policy a year after issuing an 11-game suspension to Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson for sexual misconduct. Per The New York Times’ Jenny Vrentas, the league’s revised policy was altered so it can now “warrant more serious penalties to include sexual assault ‘involving threats or coercion’ and including ‘a pattern of conduct’ and ‘offenses that involve planning’ as factors that could increase punishment.” - Related: Mobile sports betting is live in Massachusetts on FanDuel. Get started with a $1,000 no-sweat bet Watson was accused of sexual misconduct by several women. He settled 23 or 24 civil lawsuits against him. On top of his suspension, Watson was also fined $5 million and underwent a behavioral assessment and underwent treatment. Former federal judge Sue L. Robinson originally called for Watson — whose defense hung on to there being no evidence of physical assault toward his victims — to be suspended for six games after concluding the quarterback was involved in “non-violent sexual assault.” Because his actions weren’t considered violent, Robinson believed the punishment the NFL originally sought — a year-long suspension in 2022 that included the playoffs — wasn’t justified. The original policy called for a six-game suspension for first-time offenders for those who were physically violent toward a victim. Robinson didn’t seek a harsher penalty — despite calling Watson’s behaviors toward the women “egregious” and “predatory” — because it fell under a “non-violent” action. Now that sexual assault “involving threats or coercion” are part of the updated policy, it will be a bit clearer what a suspension should look like should the league face something like this again down the line. All told, Watson had 26 total cases of misconduct against him. One, per Vrentas, was “withdrawn” while two remain active. Many of the women claimed they felt intimated by the 27-year-old. - Massachusetts online sports betting is here.

FINDLAY, OH (WLIO)- The Family Resource Center hosted an open house on Monday to unveil the recently completed remodeling of their Hancock County Headquarters. Staff and community members gathered at the 1941 Carlin Street facility in Findlay to see the $1.75 million of renovations that were made. The renovated location includes a full-service pharmacy, private telehealth spaces for appointments, a meeting room for support groups, and a wide array of family and community support services such as individualized counseling, case and medication management, and prevention services for local school districts. During the pandemic, the need for mental health services became apparent, and with the newly remodeled headquarters, the Family Resource Center is ready to serve the area. "Coming out of COVID, we all learned that mental health impacts all of us, and that we all have those pieces and those moments... And so it's important that we recognize that everyone needs help and support at some point in time and creating a local spot where everyone can get it all in one spot is a really great way to make sure we're meeting the needs of everyone right where they are. Whether that's substance use or mental health, meeting everyone where they are and providing top level care so we can have the best wellness that we can have," says Aeryn Williams, Chief Clinical Officer, Family Resource Center. Before the remodel and transition to the renovated facility, adult mental health and substance use disorder services were provided in a facility constructed in 1860 with youth services housed in a nearly 100-year old building. The remodeled facility will open on May 15th.

House Ethics Committee announces investigation into embattled Rep. George Santos By Gregory Krieg, Clare Foran and Fredreka Schouten, CNN The House Ethics Committee announced Thursday it is officially moving forward with a probe into embattled Rep. George Santos as the New York Republican faces mounting legal issues and calls to resign for extensively lying about his resume and biography. The Ethics Committee said in a news release that it voted to set up an investigative subcommittee with authority to look into a number issues, including whether Santos may have engaged in unlawful activity related to his 2022 congressional campaign. According to the release, the investigative panel will have jurisdiction to determine whether Santos “may have engaged in unlawful activity with respect to his 2022 congressional campaign; failed to properly disclose required information on statements filed with the House; violated federal conflict of interest laws in connection with his role in a firm providing fiduciary services; and/or engaged in sexual misconduct towards an individual seeking employment in his congressional office.” Santos responded to the announcement in a tweet. “The House Committee on Ethics has opened an investigation, and Congressman George Santos is fully cooperating,” his office’s Twitter account wrote. “There will be no further comment made at this time.” Santos told CNN in early February that he is “not concerned” about a House ethics probe or about New York constituents calling on him to resign. “You’re saying that the freedom of speech of my constituents is a distraction to my work?” Santos said. “Do you think people are a distraction to the work I’m doing here?” In a recent interview with Piers Morgan, Santos also suggested the local grassroots campaigns demanding his ouster were not representative of the district. But a poll released on Monday by Siena College found that 66% of New Yorkers wanted him out — including 58% of Republicans. “The ‘good’ news for Santos is that even in these hyper partisan times, he’s found a way to get Democrats, Republicans and independents to agree about a political figure,” pollster Steven Greenberg said in the survey’s release. “The bad news for Santos is that the political figure they agree on is him, and they overwhelmingly view him unfavorably.” Apart from outlandish lies about his personal life, academic and professional record, Santos has been implicated in a litany of shady business operations, including his work at Harbor City Capital Corp. in 2020 and 2021, a company the SEC called a “classic Ponzi scheme” in an April 2021 complaint against the firm. (Santos was not listed in the complaint.) More potentially damaging, though, might be increased scrutiny of his campaign finances. CNN reported late last year that federal prosecutors in New York were looking into issues surrounding his wealth and loans totaling more than $700,000 he made to his successful 2022 campaign. Santos has repeatedly said the cash he put into the campaign was legally obtained. But a complaint from a campaign watchdog group has questioned the source of that financial windfall. Just two years earlier, Santos had reported a salary of $55,000 and no assets. Additionally, the campaign’s bookkeeping has also come under a harsh spotlight, especially following the revelation that his former treasure listed dozens of expenses just a penny beneath the legal threshold for keeping receipts. That treasurer, Nancy Marks, has since been replaced. But the true identity of her successor remains a mystery. On the Hill, Santos will also now have to answer for an accusation by a prospective staffer who claims Santos made an unwanted sexual advance toward him during a private encounter in the congressman’s office. Shortly after he rebuffed Santos, the accuser says, he was denied a job. Santos has denied the claims. The individual, Derek Myers, said in a House Ethics complaint that Santos “touched” his groin before allegedly inviting him to his home and said his husband was out of town, according to a copy of the document provided to CNN last month. Santos has brushed off repeated calls for his resignation, including from fellow Republican House members and local Republican officials. He has played coy when asked if he plans to seek re-election, though filed required paperwork to keep the option open. GOP leaders in Washington have stopped short of demanding he leave, and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy allowed him to be seated to a pair of House committees. Santos, though, chose to withdraw from those assignments as the furor over his lies intensified in late January. This story has been updated with additional developments.

TAMPA, Fla. — It's not every day you open a gift from Tom Brady, but WNBA star Kelsey Plum did just that. The Las Vegas Aces point guard literally jumped for joy when she opened the gift box, receiving a jersey and some other swag. She posted her reaction on her Instagram story, which was shared by ESPN's SportsCenter. "Here's some goodies," Plum says in the video as she reads a note from the package. "From T.B. Best of luck." She held up a jersey with the message "Kelsey, you are amazing. L.F.G. Good luck!" written on the number. Her reaction to the gift — including exclamations, jumping up and down and immediately putting the jersey on — was priceless. Plum is a longtime Brady fan, and this isn't the athletes' first interaction. When Brady attended the Aces' game against the Connecticut Sun in May, she wasn't sure what to say to him at first — but gave him a hug. "I was like man you're a dog, I love you, 'woof woof!' He looked at me and he was like 'yeah,'" Plum said in a post-game conference. "So we connected." Plum was named MVP at her first All-Star appearance this month after she scored 30 points for Team Wilson, matching the league's All-Star Game scoring record. Maya Moore also scored 30 points in 2015. Brady led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl win after the 2020 season. He announced his retirement in January, but promptly unretired in March.

Over the past decade, the threats to the security of the United States have intensified. Russia, China, Iran and North Korea continue their nuclear sabre rattling in an effort to destabilize the world. From 1946 through 1992, the Strategic Air Command stood watch 24/7, 365 days a year. Their “Peace is Our Profession” motto was more than just a jingle. As a major part of our nuclear triad, SAC had bomber crews both on ground alert and flying designated routes as a part of the strategic bombing mission. SAC also had 1,000 plus Minuteman and Titan Missiles on alert at all times. Over the years since the deactivation of SAC, budget cuts and treaties have lulled us into a false sense of security. I am not advocating the use of nuclear weapons, but I am saying that we have let our guard down. Maybe, just maybe, it’s time to reactivate the Strategic Air Command because the best defense is a great offense. Francis Bud Kuhn, Lincoln

Southwest Idaho will have a more than 400-foot-wide wildfire control line from north to south, and the start of a line running from east to west, with next year’s slate of work on the Tri-State Fuel Breaks project. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management Boise district this year treated 2,500 acres along 51 miles of roads and next year plans to treat 1,500 acres along 45 miles of roads. The 2023 work combined with the work done this year better positions the district to control rangeland fires from Bruneau to the Nevada line, said Lance Okeson, who leads the district’s program. The area is prone to fire, so the breaks “will have positive impacts, providing opportunities for firefighters to safely engage a fire,” said Dan Osterkamp, who is a fire management specialist. From mid-September to mid-November, crews mow plants to within 6 inches of the ground to create a fire break. The work stretches 200 feet from both sides of the road. Criticism of the plan included that breaks consume habitat for sage grouse and other wildlife and plants and mechanical disturbance can increase the spread of invasive annual grasses and noxious weeds. BLM requires contractors to wash equipment before and after deployment. It monitors for the spread of annual grasses and noxious weeds. The fuel breaks will reduce flame heights and improve firefighter access, protecting the area from huge fires like those that scorched southwest Idaho in 2015 and 2007. “The small initial impact is outweighed by a bigger positive — keeping fires smaller,” Osterkamp said. The project is part of a larger overall strategy to minimize threats to sage grouse habitat including large fires, conifer encroachment, and fragmentation and urbanization, Okeson said. Each year’s projects are done as funding and work capacity allow and as surveys of potential wildlife, botanical and archaeological values are completed. The district works with the state Department of Lands and private landowners. Sign up for our Top Stories newsletter Success! An email has been sent to with a link to confirm list signup. Error!

When considering the overall environmental impact of new cars and trucks, it’s important to look not only at the powertrain, but also the curb weight, according to a new analysis from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE). The group annually releases a “Greenest List” of the 12 vehicles estimated to do the least damage to the environment, as determined by a holistic look at tailpipe emissions, manufacturing, and disposal, as well as emissions related to production of electricity or fuel. It also releases a “Meanest List” of the 12 worst environmental offenders. The 2023 “Greenest List” was entirely made up of small EVs, hybrids, and plug-in hybrids—with EVs in the top five slots. The Mini Cooper SE was named greenest of the green, followed by the Nissan Leaf, Mazda MX-30 EV, Toyota bZ4X, and Subaru Solterra. You can browse the full list at the ACEEE GreenerCars website. The ACEEE also compiled a “Greener List” of vehicles estimated to have a low environmental impact, but that didn’t make the “Greenest List.” This contingent was led by the Honda Accord Hybrid, with the Mitsubishi Mirage, Lexus ES 300h hybrid, Honda CR-V Hybrid, and Toyota RAV4 Hybrid rounding out the top five. Of note is that the redesigned 2023 Toyota Prius was not included on either list. It was named greenest car of 2022 by the organization, but the redesigned version arrived too late to be included on the 2023 list. The Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid was runner up to the Prius in 2022, but Hyundai has since ended production of this model. The “Meanest List” consisted mostly of big pickup trucks and SUVs, with the Ram 1500 TRX rated worst for the environment, followed by the Ford F-150 Raptor R, Cadillac Escalade V, Dodge Durango SRT, and Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Analysts also did direct comparisons for vehicles available with both all-electric and internal-combustion powertrains, including the Mini Cooper Hardtop, Ford F-150, and Volvo XC40, with all-electric versions expected to cause 46%, 30%, and 38% less environmental damage, respectively. The gasoline Mini Cooper SE also had a lower anticipated environmental impact per mile than the Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck, authors noted—again underscoring the importance of weight. Lighter weight has long been the favored path toward improving efficiency and boosting EV range, but it’s not cheap. A 2020 report predicted that, because of the expensive materials needed to dramatically reduce weight, improvements to battery energy density might be a better bet. Lighter cars that carry more people might be the ultimate solution, but this runs counter to vehicle-owner habits. Thinking about the overall efficiency of EVs is important as more of them hit the road. In addition to publishing its annual “Greenest” and “Meanest” lists, the ACEEE has also argued in the past that EV efficiency and upstream emissions are a lost opportunity in U.S. vehicle standards, citing potential emissions from the electricity grid as an area of concern.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Dr. Thomas Dobbs has never gotten involved in political fights over reproductive health, but his name has become shorthand for a legal case that could end abortion rights in the United States. If he has feelings about the situation, he pretty much keeps those to himself. Mississippi’s top public health official is named in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a dispute over a state law that would ban most abortions after the 15th week but that could be used to overturn Roe v. Wade. A leaked draft of a U.S. Supreme Court opinion shows a conservative majority of justices are ready to use the case to topple the court’s landmark 1973 ruling that established abortion rights nationwide. Dobbs, 52, is a physician in charge of the state health department, which regulates Mississippi’s only abortion clinic. As the state’s chief health officer, he is the person who must be named in any lawsuit related to abortion or other health issues, he explained recently in a post on Twitter. So, while the name at the center of the abortion debate could eventually change from “Roe” to “Dobbs,” it is not the health officer but the state attorney general’s office that is handling the state’s case. “I had no direct involvement in any component of this legal action,” he wrote in the post. Liz Sharlot, communications director for the state health department, confirmed Dobbs’ strictly nominal role and denied a request from The Associated Press to interview him because, she said, he “did not personally initiate this case.” “The Mississippi State Department of Health’s only role regarding abortion facilities is the regulations to support the law, the inspection and the licensing of that facility,” Sharlot wrote in an email. Dobbs is a former state epidemiologist who became head of the health department in 2018, months after Mississippi’s Republican-controlled Legislature passed the abortion-restriction law that’s now at the center of the court case. He has spent his public health career focused not on abortion, but on pushing for better outcomes in a state plagued by high rates of infant mortality and other poor health statistics. The legal fight over abortion started when Mississippi’s only abortion clinic sued over the 15-week ban. The suit was originally called Jackson Women’s Health Organization v. Currier et al. The main defendant was the state health officer at the time, Dr. Mary Currier. After she left, a judge removed Currier’s name from the case and replaced it with Dobbs. A federal district judge blocked the law from taking effect. When the state appealed to the Supreme Court, the name of the case was flipped, to Dobbs versus the clinic. During an online briefing hosted by the Mississippi State Medical Association in June 2021, Dobbs was asked about his name being on the abortion case. He quickly noted that Dr. Kenneth Cleveland also was named in the lawsuit in his capacity as head of the Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure. “He didn’t make the headline,” the medical association president at the time, Dr. Mark Horne, said in a good-natured jab at Dobbs. “I’m trying to get him to swap with me,” Dobbs quipped. Until now, the name most associated with the abortion debate has been Jane Roe, a pseudonym for a Dallas woman named Norma McCorvey, who was the plaintiff in the famous Roe v. Wade case. Wade was Henry Wade, the Dallas County district attorney at the time. In 1969, the 22-year-old McCorvey became pregnant for the third time and wanted to have an abortion. McCorvey and her attorneys ultimately won the legal battle, but not until she gave birth and gave the girl up for adoption. She later became an anti-abortion activist. McCorvey was 69 when she died in 2017. Another name that often arises in the debate is that of is Robert P. Casey, a former Democratic governor of Pennsylvania who was an anti-abortion advocate. In 1989, he worked with the state’s legislature to enact a law that placed several limitations on abortion. Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania challenged the law. In 1992, the Supreme Court upheld most of the restrictions, but also affirmed a woman’s right to an abortion. Casey died in 2000. The name of the case was Planned Parenthood v. Casey. While Dobbs has not been involved in the abortion debates, he has spent the past two years engulfed in a different contentious health issue: the COVID-19 pandemic. At dozens of news conferences and other public appearances, he has implored people to get vaccinated, wear masks and maintain social distancing. He persisted even as many people, including some public officials, resisted. In August, Dobbs said he had received threats from people who believed false conspiracy theories about him and his family as he promoted vaccination against COVID-19. Dobbs said one lie is that his son, who is also a physician, receives a World Bank-funded kickback when Dobbs urges people to get vaccinated. “I get zero $ from promoting vaccination,” Dobbs wrote on Twitter. Before COVID-19 vaccinations were available, the usually even-tempered Dobbs expressed frustration at people’s insistence on attending social events and extracurricular school activities, including sports competitions. “Our hierarchy of prioritization is extremely stupid,” Dobbs said in November 2020. “’We’re prioritizing youth sports, not only over academics. We’re actually prioritizing it over community health, just to be honest.” While in the thick of the stressful pandemic fight, Dobbs said he turned to exercise and listening to music — jazz and The Rolling Stones — as ways to disconnect from work. He announced in March that he will retire at the end of July. Dr. Georges Benjamin is executive director of the American Public Health Association, one of several public health and research groups that have filed a legal brief critical of Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban. Benjamin said he does not know Dobbs’ personal opinion about abortion and the legal issues involved in the case, and expressed doubt that Dobbs would state them publicly. “Your name may get associated with a legal case when you’re in these jobs,” Benjamin said. “But your name being associated may not align with your own views. You are the public official, and unfortunately that’s what happens when you take these jobs.” Benjamin said Dobbs has done an “incredible” job as Mississippi’s health officer during the pandemic, including remarkable work addressing issues of inequity. He called him a “trusted figure who follows scientific principles.” Benjamin’s hope, he said, is that Dobbs’ reputation “does not get tarnished” by having his name on the abortion case.

LONDON (AP) — A Uyghur organization and a human rights group are taking the U.K. government to court to challenge Britain’s failure to block the import of cotton products associated with forced labor and other abuses in China’s far western Xinjiang region. Tuesday’s hearing at the High Court in London is believed the first time a foreign court hears legal arguments from the Uyghurs over the issue of forced labor in Xinjiang. The region is a major global supplier of cotton, but rights groups have long alleged that the cotton is picked and processed by China’s Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslim minorities in a widespread, state-sanctioned system of forced labor. The case, brought by the Munich-based World Uyghur Congress and the Global Legal Action Network, a nonprofit, is one of several similar legal challenges aimed at putting pressure on the U.K. and European Union governments to follow the lead of the United States, where a law took effect this year to ban all cotton products suspected of being made in Xinjiang. Researchers say Xinjiang produces 85% of cotton grown in China, constituting one-fifth of the world’s cotton. Rights groups argue that the scale of China’s rights violations in Xinjiang – which the U.N. says may amount to “crimes against humanity” – means that numerous international fashion brands are at high risk of using cotton tainted with forced labor and other rights abuses. Gearóid Ó Cuinn, the Global Legal Action Network’s director, said the group submitted almost 1,000 pages of evidence — including company records, NGO investigations and Chinese government documents — to the U.K. and U.S. governments in 2020 to back its case. British authorities have taken no action so far, he said. “Right now, U.K. consumers are systematically exposed to consumer goods tainted by forced labor,” Ó Cuinn said. “It does demonstrate the lack of political will.” Researchers and advocacy groups estimate 1 million or more people from Uyghur and other minority groups have been swept into detention camps in Xinjiang, where many say they were tortured, sexually assaulted, and forced to abandon their language and religion. The organizations say the camps, along with forced labor and draconian birth control policies, are a sweeping crackdown on Xinjiang’s minorities. A recent U.N. report largely corroborated the accounts. China denounces the accusations as lies and argues its policies were aimed at quashing extremism. In the U.S., a new law gives border authorities more power to block or seize cotton imports produced partly or wholly in Xinjiang. The products are effectively banned unless the importer can show clear evidence that the goods were not produced using forced labor. The European Commission last month proposed prohibiting all products made with forced labor from entering the EU market. The plans haven’t been agreed upon yet by the European Parliament. The British government’s Modern Slavery Act requires companies operating in the U.K. to report what they have done to identify rights abuses in their supply chains. But there is no legal obligation to undertake audits and due diligence. In a statement, the U.K.’s Conservative government said it is “committed to introduce financial penalties for organizations that do not comply with modern slavery reporting requirements.” Lawyers representing the Uyghurs will argue at the High Court on Tuesday that the British government’s inaction breaches existing U.K. laws prohibiting goods made in foreign prisons or linked to crime. Former Conservative Party leader Iain Duncan Smith, one of the most vocal China critics in Britain’s Parliament, said the U.K. has been “dragging its feet” on the issue because of “huge institutional resistance to change” after years of dependence on trade with China. Britain’s Conservative government has not taken the China threat seriously enough, he argued. “Treasury and the business department are desperate not to destroy ties with China and (officials) are still living in project kowtow,” Duncan Smith said. Compared to the U.S. and the EU, “we are bringing up the rear” on the cotton issue, he added. Earlier this month, Ó Cuinn’s organization made a separate submission to the Irish government demanding a halt to the import of forced labor goods from Xinjiang. Meanwhile, lawyers representing a survivor of detention and forced labor in Xinjiang have also written to the U.K. government threatening to sue over the issue. The claimant in that case, Erbakit Ortabay, said he was detained in internment centers, where he was tortured and beaten, and later forced to work for no pay in a clothing factory. Ortabay, who was eventually released in 2019, is currently seeking asylum in Britain. Clothing is among the top five type of goods the U.K. imports from China, accounting for about 3.5 billion pounds ($4 billion) in imports in 2021. The U.K. does not publish shipping data detailing trade with the Xinjiang region. But Laura Murphy, a professor of human rights at Sheffield Hallam University, has identified 103 well-known international fashion brands – including some trading in the U.K. — at high risk of having Xinjiang cotton in their supply chains because they buy from intermediary garment manufacturers, which in turn are supplied by Chinese companies that source cotton in Xinjiang. “What we find is that a lot of Xinjiang cotton is also sent out to other countries to be manufactured into apparel. So it’s not always coming directly from there — it might be coming from a company making clothes in Indonesia or Cambodia,” Murphy said. In the U.S., the new ban on Xinjiang cotton has forced apparel companies to step up tracking technologies to map out routes for their products’ origin, according to Brian Ehrig, partner in the consumer practice of management consulting firm Kearney. The ban is also accelerating the migration of apparel production in China to other regions like Vietnam and Cambodia. Some experts believe that the U.S. law has also compelled companies to block Xinjiang cotton products from other markets. Scott Nova, executive director of the Worker Rights Consortium, a labor rights monitoring organization, said even if companies want to reroute Xinjiang-linked products to other markets, it would require a ”substantial reorganization” of their supply networks. Figures from the China National Cotton Information Center show that sales of cotton produced in Xinjiang in the year to mid-June fell 40% from a year earlier to 3.1 million tons. The commercial inventory of cotton produced in Xinjiang was 3.3 million tons at the end of May, up 60% from a year earlier, according to Wind, a Chinese financial information provider. ___ Anne D’Innocenzio in New York contributed to this report.

Mother still searching for answers four years after son’s 2018 murder BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - More than four years since an 18-year-old was shot and killed while driving on I-65 North and still, there are no answers as to who did it or why. Cameron Bozman celebrated his 18th birthday only months before his life was taken from an individual that police have yet to identify. His mom says she’s working to survive one day at a time. “As long as I’m here on earth, Imma always want Cameron,” said Daun Bozman. “Imma always want to see Cameron. Imma always want to talk him and touch him and be around him, but I’m learning how to survive everyday with knowing I am a mom of gun violence.” The tragedy happened the night of October 10th, 2018 on I-65 N between the Alford Avenue and Oxmoor Road exits. Daun says he was leading a group of friends back to his apartment after a party. “They didn’t get the tag number,” she added. “They just know that the car shot into Cameron’s car then Cameron went around another car and they shot into Cameron’s car again.” The young man was taken to UAB where he later died. “Everything just stopped for me” said Daun. “Emotionally, I was numb and lost. I’m still hurting. I hurt daily. I hurt nights. I just want to know who did this and I want to be able to ask them why.” Cameron was a recent graduate of Pleasant Grove High School and was attending Lawson State Community College to become a social worker. His mom says he was definitely a character who was hilarious. “He was just a loving and fun individual but I would love to hear him say, ‘Ma, what are we going to eat today?’” she said. Though it’s been over four years, Daun is still waiting for answers, warning others, and not giving up hope. “People are gonna do this more because they feel as though they can get away with it but they can’t get away with it,” she added. “They’re going to get caught. It’s one way or another that they’re going to get caught.” Police are looking for a possible suspect vehicle that has been described as a black 4 door sedan. The make, model and tag number are unknown. Crime Stoppers put up a $5,000 reward for anyone who can help solve the murder of Cameron Bozman and Gov. Kay Ivey matched the reward for a total of $10,000 available. Anyone with information is asked to call Homewood PD at 205-332-6255 or Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.

The Biden administration on Thursday confirmed plans to update its charging station locator tool, and provided updated numbers on EVs and chargers being deployed by federal agencies. The tool is part of the Alternative Fueling Station Locator, kept up by the Department of Energy. It will soon include the charging cost and charging speed, or power output—at the port level—for each publicly accessible charger, the White House said in a release. That should be useful not just to EV owners who use the tool but to those who use more specialized or sophisticated tools and apps that use the Alternative Fuel Stations API (application programming interface) as a building block. The interface already has its own official Apple iOS and Android apps. It’s likely also an extension of the data the federal government will need to keep tabs on as part of federal EV charging network rules outlined in February. For a portion of the $5 billion funding set aside for the charging network, states have submitted charging plans as part of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program. Additionally, the White House provided updates on the shift to EVs for federal agencies. Just in fiscal year 2023, which runs through September 30, federal agencies have already acquired 13,000 fully electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids—about four times the fiscal year 2022 total. Part of those are the Ford E-Transit vans to be acquired by the USPS, although the USPS doesn’t acquire its vehicles with other federal agencies. Under a goal announced in 2021 and the administration’s Federal Sustainability Plan, agencies must acquire 100% light-duty EVs by 2027, then 100% medium- and heavy-duty EVs by 2035. The administration also provided an update on charging stations deployed by federal facilities. By the next fiscal year, federal agencies have committed to deploy 24,000 more charging stations—in addition to today’s total of more than 5,000 stations at federal facilities. It’s unclear what proportion of these are included in the totals for publicly accessible chargers. According to the White House there are now more than three million EVs on the road in the U.S., with more than 132,000 publically accessible EV chargers in the nation. The White House also spotlighted a wide range of recent EV investments in the public and private sectors, including First Student’s plan to transition 30,000 fossil-fuel-powered school buses to electric by 2035. Trane Technologies plans to transition its entire 8,000-vehicle fleet to EVs by 2030, and Siemens plans to make its 10,000-vehicle fleet all-EV by 2030. Hertz plans to greatly expand its EV rentals and fleet as well.

GREAT FALLS, Va., June 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tollsmart, LLC, a leading provider of detailed toll information on over ten thousand tolling locations across several continents, today announced that it is providing its toll price data to Google Maps for drivers in the US. With this information, people using Google Maps will be able to view the cost of tolls in advance of a trip, and be able to make smarter driving decisions that factor in time, distance AND costs. "We launched Tollsmart in 2015 with the mission to help make the world smarter about tolls, and this represents a huge milestone toward that goal. With over 1 billion users across the globe, Google Maps is one of the most popular navigation apps on the planet so we're excited to deliver valuable toll price information to Google Maps customers, especially as more tolling facilities convert to cashless tolling which can be confusing to drivers," stated Tollsmart's CEO and Cofounder Jim Kovarik. Commenting on the announcement, Tollsmart's CTO and Cofounder Dr. Leonid (Leo) Iogansen said "Tolling systems are often local and can be quite complex and so accurately estimating toll prices across entire continents is a significant challenge which requires a great deal of technology and innovation. Tollsmart was the first app to have offered this solution to the consumer market in the US thanks to the creative and elegant technical approaches that we've developed, and we are delighted that this information will help people be more informed when getting from A to B." Tollsmart is a leading provider of detailed toll information and technology to mapping and navigation services, logistics and transportation companies and to consumers. Current coverage includes over 10,000 tolling locations in 26 countries across 4 continents, with new countries being added continuously. The Tollsmart Toll Calculator apps allow drivers to estimate toll costs along a route, see whether a toll tag or transponder is required and alerts drivers to when they'll encounter cashless tolling facilities. Drivers can also use the service to find alternative routes that may be cheaper. The Tollsmart API services are used by developers to add toll costs to their own applications.

A $30 million legal battle between Tiger Woods and his ex-girlfriend has escalated, with Erica Herman accusing the golf superstar of beginning their sexual relationship when she was his employee and threatening to fire her if she didn't sign a nondisclosure agreement she now wants voided. Herman, in court documents filed late Friday, also accused Woods of having his lawyer break up with her at an airport in October after falsely telling her they were going on a weekend trip. The lawyer then evicted her from Woods' $54 million mansion north of Palm Beach. The documents were filed in advance of a scheduled Tuesday hearing where Woods' attorneys are expected to ask Circuit Judge Elizabeth Metzger to halt Herman's lawsuit against their billionaire client. They say the former couple's nondisclosure agreement requires all disputes be settled privately by an arbitrator, not in court. Herman, who managed Woods' Palm Beach County restaurant before and during the first years of their romantic relationship, argues that the nondisclosure agreement is unenforceable under a new federal law that says such contracts can be voided when sexual abuse or sexual harassment occurred. Her attorney, Benjamin Hodas, contends that Woods' alleged threat to fire her if she didn't sign the contract was harassment. "A boss imposing different work conditions on his employee because of their sexual relationship is sexual harassment," Hodas said. Herman, 39, is separately suing the trust that owns Woods' mansion for $30 million, saying he verbally promised in 2017 that she could live there for at least 11 years, but kicked her out after five. Woods' attorney, J.B. Murray, denies that the 47-year-old golfer ever sexually assaulted or harassed Herman, calling her accusations in court documents "utterly meritless." Neither Hodas nor Murray responded to emails and phone calls seeking comment. It is unknown if Woods will attend Tuesday's hearing. In Herman's lawsuit against Woods, she wants Judge Metzger to either void the nondisclosure agreement or at least give her guidance about what she can say publicly. For example, can she discuss events that happened before their agreement or after their breakup? What about information she learned about Woods from others? She is also arguing that the contract covers only her work relationship with Woods, not their personal matters. In her unlawful eviction lawsuit against the trust, she is basing her $30 million claim on how much it would cost to rent a property like Woods' mansion for the six years of residence she was allegedly denied. When Hodas filed her lawsuit against the trust in October, he checked a box on a standardized form saying the case did not involve sexual abuse. In Herman's March lawsuit against Woods, Hodas checked the box saying that case does involve abuse. Hodas has not explained the apparent discrepancy. Before they dated, Woods hired Herman in 2014 to help develop and then operate the golfer's The Woods sports bar and restaurant in nearby Jupiter -- but they do not agree when their romantic relationship and cohabitation began. Herman says in her court filings that their romantic relationship began in 2015 and that in late 2016 she moved into Woods' nearly 30,000-square-foot (2,800-square-meter) mansion in the ritzy Hobe Sound community. Woods, in his court documents, says their romantic relationship began in 2017, shortly before she moved in with him that August -- about the time the nondisclosure agreement was signed. In March 2017, Woods had placed the mansion into the Jupiter Island Irrevocable Homestead Trust, an entity he created that has only himself and his two children as beneficiaries. Forbes Magazine estimates Woods' net worth at $1.1 billion. They were first seen publicly as a couple at the Presidents Cup in late September 2017, and Herman had been a steady presence at the larger tournaments and events, such as the 2019 Masters, his last win. She was also with Woods at the White House in 2018 when then-President Donald Trump awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Herman says Woods pressured her to quit her job managing his restaurant in 2020, saying he wanted her to spend more time taking care of him and his children. Herman says Woods evicted her through "trickery." She says Woods told her they were going on a weekend trip to the Bahamas, so she packed a small bag and he drove her to the airport, where they parked near a private plane. But instead of boarding, Woods told Herman to talk to his lawyer and left, she says. "Out of the blue," the lawyer told her the relationship was over and that she was being evicted, she says. She says she refused to sign another nondisclosure agreement the lawyer tried to force upon her. When Woods' lawyers returned her personal belongings, they kept $40,000 in cash, "making scurrilous and defamatory allegations" about how she obtained it, she alleges. Woods and his former wife, Elin Nordegren, divorced in 2010, some nine months after he was caught in a series of extramarital affairs that cost him blue-chip corporate sponsors and tarnished an image that had been largely impeccable. Since then, he has had a series of injuries and surgeries, including fusion surgery on his lower back in 2017 and shattered bones in his right leg from a February 2021 crash in Los Angeles when he drove his SUV off a coastal road while driving about 85 mph. Woods made the cut at the recent Masters but withdrew during the third round because of foot pain. He underwent ankle surgery last month, and it is unknown when he will compete next.

Progressives who have watched Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tease the public are wondering what the lead up to the 2024 election could have looked like with a more credible primary challenger to President Biden. Their discontent with Biden has grown after he cut what they see as a raw deal over the debt limit, and the latest snub from the president who’s now running as an outright centrist. While Kennedy appears to be having a moment, progressives don’t claim him for their cause. Rather, some wish that a more inspirational candidate would have given Biden a real run for the nomination, with a handful still hopeful someone will. “We are renewing efforts to encourage a progressive primary challenge from a visionary officeholder,” said Norman Solomon, a two-time delegate for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). “Or a major leader of social movements.” That person hasn’t emerged yet. But it’s not for a lack of desire. Democratic primary voters have repeatedly said they would consider another choice over Biden, noting that everything from his advanced age to his low approval ratings and handling of divisive issues such as immigration have been unhelpful. Activists have added to the criticism, insisting that his compromise-first approach is risky when facing a Republican Party yearning to defeat him. Democrats in Congress have been less pushy. They often note the good things the president has done, blame the GOP and have ultimately declined to recruit or coalesce around another candidate. While their actions don’t amount to a resounding endorsement, they’re enough to keep him afloat. Some of it is fear-based; Democrats generally don’t want to bruise Biden during a primary where few believe another contender could actually beat him. Those who hold that view think that a challenger could ultimately weaken his chances against former President Trump or another leading Republican for the nomination. None want to take away just enough votes on the margins to cause him to lose. Over the past few weeks, however, the election has become even more volatile: Trump became the first former president to be federally indicted and insists he won’t drop out of the race. And while many Democrats see the 37 counts in his handling of classified documents as damning, some also believe Republicans will work to make the indictment look politically motivated by Biden and his Justice Department. While Biden has kept his distance from the issue, other Democrats have been less inhibited. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has been among the highest profile figures to grab headlines. On Monday, he went on Fox News — a tactic progressives like Sanders and California Rep. Ro Khanna have used to send a message — and jousted with host Sean Hannity. Newsom is one of several progressives who says he is supporting Biden’s reelection effort but has nonetheless taken steps to target Trump and GOP governors and raise money for his side. Some say it looks a lot like campaign legwork. “I think Newsom is preparing,” said Peter Daou, a progressive Democratic strategist who’s been a vocal critic of Biden. “Some other catalyst might have to happen for him to enter the race.” Daou is one of just a few operatives who knows the challenges of working against the sitting president. He was recently involved with author Marianne Williamson’s presidential bid, where she has tried to push Biden to the left for the second consecutive cycle and get him and the Democratic National Committee to allow for a debate. But despite progressives agreeing with much of Williamson’s platform, she hasn’t been able to get widespread attention or rise in the polls. Newsom, the highest-ranking executive from a massive liberal state, is in a different category, but his insistence in backing Biden in 2024 has led some to wonder if he’s actually playing a longer-term game. “There would have to be some other factor to change the dynamic,” Daou conceded about the California governor. The lack of enthusiastic support for Biden has inspired Democrats to line up behind him in an effort to boost his chances. Dozens of top figures across the ideological spectrum have pledged to help him, including working on ways to court and keep progressive voters and young people in his corner. While that effort is ongoing, voters are now confronted with an onslaught of Trump legal news, and some are seeing less familiar Democratic figures than Biden come into view. Kennedy, for one, appears to be seizing on Biden apathy. He got attention last week when he talked to controversial Twitter owner Elon Musk in a conversation that was full of conspiracy theories and misinformation. But Democrats warn that Biden’s orbit should not dismiss Kennedy completely. Many want to eye-roll his bid out of existence, but the unpredictable nature of the race makes that hard to do. The same week that Kennedy blitzed the media, a top Sanders ally launched a third-party presidential bid — and is already eager to go head-to-head with Biden or Trump. “I would welcome a debate with any of the candidates!” Cornel West, a former Harvard scholar who served as a longtime surrogate for Sanders, told The Hill in a text message. West opted against challenging Biden as a Democrat and instead registered with the People’s Party. In doing that, he got around the logistical hurdles that make primarying the sitting president a long shot. While West is a fan favorite among many Sanders allies, the Vermont senator has stayed firmly committed to supporting Biden in 2024, a sign of the incumbent president’s grasp on the wing of the party that remains skeptical about him. “I think we have settled with him,” said one Democratic campaign strategist about Biden in the general election. “Progressives, regardless of how boisterous they are online, have settled into this notion.” Those who are still holding out hope for another serious contender to take on Biden say it’s his policies and willingness to give in to Republicans that should be challenged, and that voters deserve another option. “We need political courage, not timidity,” said Solomon, who also serves as national director of RootsAction.org. He recently changed the name of an anti-Biden effort from “Don’t Run Joe” to “Step Aside Joe” after the president formally relaunched his campaign. On Capitol Hill, left-wing frustration with Biden reached a boiling point over negotiations around the debt limit. For weeks, they had stressed that Biden shouldn’t bend to Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), and some high-profile progressives voted against the deal on principle. “There’s no doubt that anger among grassroots progressives and frustration among progressive Congress members have intensified as a result of Biden’s acquiescence to the debt-ceiling blackmail and several recent White House decisions to exacerbate the climate crisis,” Solomon said. “The twin imperatives of defeating Republicans next year and making a decent future possible for the next generations require setting aside corporate status-quo approaches.”

More than 83 percent of U.S. waterways recently sampled in a nationwide survey were contaminated by cancer-linked “forever chemicals,” a new analysis has revealed. Out of 114 rivers and creeks assessed across the country, 95 showed detectable levels of these toxic compounds, according to the analysis, conducted by the Waterkeeper Alliance. Nearly all these waterways were contaminated by at least one type of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) — of which there are thousands — while multiple PFAS compounds were present in most of the samples, the study determined. In some spots — such as the creeks connected to the Potomac River in Maryland, the Lower Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania and the Niagara River in New York — contamination levels were thousands to hundreds of thousands times higher than what experts have deemed safe for drinking water, the researchers warned. “When we began testing waterways for PFAS earlier this year, we knew that our country had a significant PFAS problem, but these findings confirm that was an understatement,” Marc Yaggi, CEO of Waterkeeper Alliance, said in a statement. Known for their presence in jet fuel firefighting foam and industrial discharge, PFAS are also key ingredients in a variety of household products. Living up to their “forever chemical” epithet, these compounds tend to linger in both the human body and the environment. They have been linked to many illnesses, such as thyroid disease, kidney cancer and testicular cancer. While the survey was a nationwide effort, the work on the ground occurred via 113 local Waterkeeper branches, which took samples in 34 states and in the District of Columbia this past May through July. The groups took a total of 228 samples from 114 rivers and creeks in these territories and ran laboratory analyses for 55 types of PFAS, according to the study. The researchers said they identified 35 of the 55 individual PFAS in at least one sampled waterway. The most frequent types of PFAS detected were PFOA and PFOS — the two most notorious types of forever chemicals, for which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently tightened its health advisory limits. PFOS was detected above the EPA’s interim health advisory level — of 0.02 parts per trillion — at 159 of the 228 sampling sites, or 70 percent of those surveyed. For reference, 1 part per trillion is approximately equivalent to one droplet in an Olympic-size swimming pool. The highest level of PFOS detected was 1,364.7 parts per trillion — in a sample from Piscataway Creek, Maryland taken by the Potomac Riverkeeper Network. Meanwhile, PFOA was identified above the EPA’s interim health advisory level of 0.004 parts per trillion in 158 of the samples taken, according to the analysis. The greatest concentration of PFOA was 847 parts per trillion — in a sample from Kreutz Creek, Pennsylvania, collected by the Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper. Another notorious type of PFAS, called GenX, was detected in four samples from three waterways: the Saluda River in South Carolina, the Cape Fear River in North Carolina and Tar Creek in Oklahoma, according to the study. Concentrations of GenX exceeded the EPA’s health advisory level of 10 parts per trillion in one sample taken from the Cape Fear River, which reached 25.8 parts per trillion, the researchers found. A fourth common type of PFAS, known as PFBS, was observed in 118 out of the 228 sampling sites, according to the analysis. PFBS levels exceeded the EPA’s threshold of 2,000 parts per trillion in one sample — 2,083.3 parts per trillion — from Kreutz Creek in Pennsylvania. Given these findings, the authors demanded that Congress and the EPA “act with urgency to control and remediate persistence PFAS contamination across the country.” While experts estimate that nearly 30,000 facilities are discharging PFAS into surface waters and wastewater treatment plants daily, there are no federal limits exist for such releases, the researchers stressed. “PFAS must be replaced in manufacturing processes with safer alternatives,” Bob Bowcock, founder of the Integrated Resource Management environmental compliance firm, said in a statement. “Non-essential uses should end,” added Bowcock, who provided third-party review for the analysis. “Industrial discharges must be stopped,” he said. “Cleanup of highly contaminated sites should be prioritized.”

Baristas at an experimental Starbucks-Amazon Go store in New York narrowly rejected union membership, the latest setback for the U.S. labor movement. The workers, who legally work for Starbucks, requested a union election because they said the tie-up between the coffee chain and Amazon.com. doubled their workload with no additional pay. The vote was very close, with 13 voting to join Starbucks Workers United, and 14 voting no, according to a spokesperson for the National Labor Relations Board, which oversees union elections. The defeat follows successful campaigns at hundreds of Starbucks cafes around the U.S. Amazon workers at a New York warehouse voted earlier this year to join the Amazon Labor Union, but the upstart labor group lost two subsequent contests. “We are grateful for the continued trust our partners have placed in the company as we work side-by-side with them to reinvent Starbucks for the future,” Starbucks spokesperson Andrew Trull said in an emailed statement. Starbucks baristas at 50 locations throughout the U.S. went on a three-day strike that started Friday, saying the company isn’t bargaining fairly with recently unionized stores. A group of workers at an Amazon Fresh grocery store in Seattle earlier this year announced that they had formed a union that would seek improved working conditions, but without taking the step of petitioning the NLRB for an election that could force Amazon to recognize the group. Amazon and Starbucks have both fiercely fought the union campaigns, at times using tactics that NLRB officials say violated workers rights. The two companies launched the pilot retail partnership last year, with the aim of using Amazon’s cashierless technology and Starbucks’ mobile ordering to facilitate a fast and convenient experience for customers. There are now two Starbucks Pickup with Amazon Go stores, one near Times Square and another on Manhattan’s east side. The locations are divided into three sections: a Starbucks waiting area, Amazon Go market and a lounge. The idea is for people to pick up a coffee ordered from the Starbucks app, grab food from the Amazon Go and then walk out without having to stand in line. –With assistance from Sabiq Shahidullah and Josh Eidelson.

Mental health raised by defense in Vegas Strip stabbing case By KEN RITTER Associated Press LAS VEGAS (AP) — A defense lawyer raised mental health questions Tuesday about a man accused of killing two people and wounding six in a stabbing rampage last week on a Las Vegas Strip sidewalk. The suspect, Yoni Christian Barrios, stood in shackles during his brief arraignment and spoke only to say he understood he was being charged with two counts of murder and six counts of attempted murder. He was not immediately asked to enter a plea. Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Harmony Letizia set a Jan. 12 hearing to determine if Barrios will face trial in state court on charges that could have him confronting a possible death penalty, and ordered him to remain jailed without bail. A grand jury could indict Barrios before that time. “We’re doing an evaluation regarding competency based on the nature of everything we know so far,” deputy public defender Scott Coffee said outside court after the hearing. “Obviously there are mental health concerns.” Authorities say Barrios, 32, asked sidewalk showgirls to pose with him for a photo before wielding a large chef’s knife to fatally stab Maris DiGiovanni, 30, and Brent Allan Hallett, 46, on Oct. 6 outside the Wynn Las Vegas resort. Two other women dressed as showgirls were among the six people injured in the midday attack, according to police. Coffee and Tuesday he and defense attorney Jeff Maningo were investigating their client’s background, but Coffee said they believed Barrios was born in Guatemala and has lived in the U.S. for at least several years. It was not immediately clear if Barrios is a documented immigrant. Prosecutor John Giordani declined to comment on Barrios’ citizenship and mental status. He said surveillance video clearly shows the attack. Coffee said he was aware that a man who identified himself as Barrios approached a videographer for Los Angeles NBC sister station Telemundo 52 outside Los Angeles City Hall on Oct. 4 and asked for help, saying he had lost his home and everything he had. The defense attorney said Barrios may have been under enough stress to trigger what Coffee termed a psychotic episode. A Las Vegas police arrest report said that after arriving in Las Vegas, Barrios sought work at the Wynn and asked a hotel janitor to contact U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to return him to Guatemala before the alleged sidewalk attack. Barrios told police he was trying to sell his chef’s knives so he could go back home, and police said he was wearing a chef’s long-sleeved white jacket that was stained with blood when he was arrested after a short chase. Officers also retrieved a knife that Barrios was believed to have thrown into bushes as he fled, according to the authorities. Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson has said prosecutors will decide in coming weeks whether to seek the death penalty in the case.

General Daily Insight for November 11, 2022 Seeing the worst in things might provoke us to lash out without warning. The vital Sun crashes against gloomy Saturn at 3:04 am EST, dampening our enthusiasm. As the impatient Gemini Moon enables active Mars, we might rush to the conclusion that we'll feel exactly this miserable forever. Sensual Venus also complains discordantly with Mars, so we may end up directing our energy toward something that's not even what we really want. After Luna enters nurturing Cancer, emotional release can help us regain perspective. Get your FREE cosmic profile at Tarot.com. Aries March 21-April 19 Grouchy words could fly out of your mouth easily today. Perhaps you've been trying hard to relax some boundaries with your friends in order to make them happy, but you're not truly comfortable with the situation. Your accumulated resentment is likely to explode at the least convenient moment, so think about proactively addressing whatever discomfort you're feeling before it gets to that point. The tension is probably less hidden than you think, so a frank discussion may be a relief for everyone involved. Taurus April 20-May 20 Money concerns might dominate your attention at the moment, to the point you prioritize them over the needs of a close relationship. You may feel like the pressure to do so is coming from an outside authority figure. Ask yourself if your own anxiety has created obligations extending beyond the things that are truly required of you. If you can get the major building blocks of your financial life in line, you could find room to give a little bit on the details. Gemini May 21-June 20 Feeling responsible for too many things could fill you with resentment. Unfortunately, impulsively ditching your whole to-do list would probably create problems instead of solving them. Besides, you might wind up missing the opportunity to do a few tasks that you genuinely enjoy! As for your less fun obligations, it's possible that someone else would find more pleasure in those jobs than you do. Let go of the idea that you must do it all yourself, and look for a mutually beneficial arrangement instead. Cancer June 21-July 22 Irritability may strike you at any moment -- or, seemingly, without any reason. Perhaps you just need to take space away from somebody you're heavily intertwined with to do your own thing for a while. The more worried you are that making such a request will lead to an uncomfortable, drawn-out negotiation, the more necessary doing so probably is! Consider the possibility that spending time apart and having separate experiences will give both of you fresh stories to tell when you come back together. Leo July 23-August 22 Sudden opportunities to socialize could conflict with your domestic commitments. While you might be afraid to disappoint anyone, you aren't obligated to go along with every impulsive idea your friends have. If this invitation isn't the right fit for you, there should be others later. That said, is there ever a good time for you to take a break from your domestic duties? A rigid approach to them isn't sustainable indefinitely, no matter how convenient it seems. Sometimes, you need to take a break. Virgo August 23-September 22 You may currently be searching for the perfect words to convince others to do what you want them to do. There's almost never a nice way to boss people around! You probably need to admit to yourself that you've veered into impolite territory, although that doesn't necessarily mean you're in the wrong. For a truly serious matter, perhaps getting your way is worth the cost of not being liked. Be realistic about whether or not things are at that level, and pick your battles accordingly. Libra September 23-October 22 Financial restraint could be seriously frustrating for you at the moment. Your suppressed desires for pleasure may motivate you to research ways around the restrictions you're experiencing. However, you might struggle to blend that curiosity with enough patience to make it truly helpful. Although earning more money would likely solve your problem, rushing into the first get-rich-quick scheme you find can bring even more difficulties into your life. Remind yourself that anything that sounds too good to be true probably is. Scorpio October 23-November 21 Being the center of attention may feel like a mixed blessing. No matter how much you enjoy getting noticed, your insecurities might still be running in the background, giving you a nagging sense that your five minutes of fame are constantly almost over. Boldly diving into forbidden subjects and cracking edgy jokes can seem like a way to keep people focused on you longer. Unfortunately, it's all too easy to take things too far and bother others. Remember that true confidence knows where to stop. Sagittarius November 22-December 21 Keeping a secret could be a challenge at this time. Someone else may be pushing you hard to provide information that you don't want to share. Perhaps they don't fully understand what they're asking. They might simply feel entitled to satisfy their passing curiosity without realizing it's actually the tip of a much bigger iceberg. As obnoxious as this is, at least it opens your options. Finding an interesting tidbit to distract them with can likely keep them entertained and protect your privacy. Capricorn December 22-January 19 An organization you belong to is potentially heading in a direction that makes you uncomfortable. You might not know how to balance your loyalty to the group with your desire to do the right thing. Raising concerns about minor details may seem easier than admitting you don't agree about the big stuff, but that approach is likely to backfire. They'll probably give you what you want, and then you'll be stuck with it! Respect them -- and yourself -- enough to air your real grievances. Aquarius January 20-February 18 You may feel railroaded into playing the role of the "bad guy." Perhaps someone else is giving you the responsibility for an unpopular course of action while they have all the power -- and can seize the credit for any good results! Although standing up for yourself is risky, what can they really do about it if they're so dependent on you? Go into any negotiations with a specific idea of what the other person could do to make things better for you. Pisces February 19-March 20 Insecurity could have you on a knife's edge, ready to lash out at others who don't share your beliefs. While you may appreciate the social benefits you get from being associated with a particular spiritual or political philosophy, the tenets of your worldview might be a messy fit in your own private life. Admitting your secret doubts, at least to yourself, can help you cultivate compassion toward any people or groups you see as wrong. Perhaps they're more like you than you'd prefer to admit!

Hearing underway in effort to free Hawaii man for ’91 murder HONOLULU (AP) — Attorneys for a Native Hawaiian man who has been imprisoned for more than 20 years for the 1991 sexual assault, kidnapping and murder of a white woman visiting Hawaii began presenting new evidence in court Tuesday — including DNA testing — they say proves he is innocent. A petition filed late Monday outlines additional evidence in one of Hawaii’s biggest murders, which unfolded on Christmas Eve in 1991 on Hawaii Island, commonly known as the Big Island. Dana Ireland, 23, was found barely alive in the bushes along a fishing trail in Puna, a remote section of the Big Island. She had been sexually assaulted and beaten and later died at Hilo Medical Center. The mangled bicycle she had been riding was found several miles away and appeared to have been run into by a vehicle. The murder of the blond-haired, blue-eyed visitor from Virginia gained national attention and remained unsolved for years, putting intense pressure on police to find the killer. “Whenever you have a white, female victim … it gets a lot more attention than people of color and Native Hawaiians,” said Kenneth Lawson, co-director of the Hawaii Innocence Project. “The parents, understandably, were becoming more and more infuriated. … There was insurmountable pressure to solve this case. And when that happens, mistakes are made. Some intentional and some unintentional.” With help from the Innocence Project in New York, the co-counsel in the case, Lawson’s group is representing Albert “Ian” Schweitzer, the last of three Native Hawaiian men convicted in Ireland’s death to remain imprisoned. DNA evidence previously submitted in the case belonged to an unknown man and all three of the convicted men were excluded as sources. New DNA evidence, according to the petition, shows a “Jimmy Z” brand T-shirt found near Ireland and soaked with her blood belonged to the same unknown man, and not to one of the three men, as prosecutors claimed. Additionally, a new tire tread analysis concluded Schweitzer’s Volkswagen Beetle car didn’t leave the tire marks at either location where Ireland and her bicycle were found. A forensic odontologist also concluded an injury on her left breast wasn’t a bitemark, as previously believed, the petition said. “At a new trial today, a jury would not convict Mr. Schweitzer of Ms. Ireland’s sexual assault and murder,” the petition said. “In fact, a prosecutor would likely not even arrest Mr. Schweitzer for this crime.” The likelihood that all three men participated in a sexual attack and left no trace of biological evidence — including a lack of evidence uncovered with advanced forensic testing — is “extraordinarily improbable,” the petition said. At the evidentiary hearing that began in a Hilo courtroom Tuesday, a judge will consider the defense’s request to vacate Schweitzer’s sentence and release him. Schweitzer, who was serving his 130-year sentence in an Arizona prison because of a lack of space for inmates in Hawaii, was flown while in custody to the Big Island for the hearing. He watched the hearing while seated next to Innocence Project attorneys. Ireland’s relatives couldn’t immediately be reached for comment on the petition. In 2019, Schweitzer’s attorneys and Hawaii County prosecutors entered into a “conviction integrity agreement” to reinvestigate the case. It was the first time in Hawaii there has been this type of agreement, Lawson said, which is increasingly being used to reexamine questionable convictions and guard against future errors. “Over the last three years, we have shared information and re-examined forensic evidence. No matter the outcome in these post-conviction proceedings, we remain committed to identifying unknown male #1 and seeking justice for Dana Ireland and her `ohana,” Hawaii County Prosecuting Attorney Kelden Waltjen said in a statement, using the Hawaiian word for “family.” Much of the background on the Ireland case is detailed in a document filed with the petition listing facts that defense attorneys and prosecutors have stipulated. In 1994, police made what they believed to be a major breakthrough. A man facing charges for his role in a cocaine conspiracy contacted police and claimed his half-brother, Frank Pauline Jr., witnessed Ireland’s attack, according to the stipulated facts document. Police interviewed Pauline, who was in his third month of a 10-year sentence for an unrelated sex assault and theft. He claimed brothers Ian and Shawn Schweitzer attacked and killed Ireland. But he was interviewed at least seven times and gave inconsistent accounts each time, eventually incriminating himself, the stipulation document said. Despite the lack of evidence linking them to the killing, the two Schweitzers and Pauline were indicted in 1997. At one point the charges were dismissed because all three men were excluded as the source of semen found in Ireland and on a hospital gurney sheet. They were indicted again after another informant claimed Ian Schweitzer confessed to him in jail that Pauline raped and killed Ireland. Pauline later said he offered details to police about the Ireland murder in order to get drug charges dropped against his half-brother. In a prison interview with the A&E show “American Justice,” Pauline compared his story to the tale of the boy who cried wolf. “Wasn’t me,” he said in a strong Hawaii Pidgin accent. But when he started telling the truth, he said no one believed him. Shawn Schweitzer took a deal to plead guilty to manslaughter and kidnapping — and receive credit for about a year served and five years of probation — after seeing juries convict Pauline and his brother in 2000. In October, Shawn Schweitzer met with prosecutors and recanted. According to the stipulation document, he pleaded guilty because his “parents did not want to risk losing another son and encouraged Shawn Schweitzer to do what he needed to do to come home and not suffer the same fate as his brother.” Shawn Schweitzer “continues to feel immense guilt about agreeing to the confession and entering a guilty plea for a crime he did not commit and falsely implicating his brother,” the document said. A polygraph test in November showed he was telling the truth when he denied any involvement in the murder, the document said. Pauline was killed in a New Mexico prison by a fellow inmate in 2015. “Mr. Schweitzer has spent over two decades wrongfully incarcerated based on unreliable informant evidence and accident reconstruction testimony,” the petition said. “It would be unconscionable for him to continue to remain incarcerated, given this overwhelming new evidence of innocence.” Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Royals acquired left-hander Josh Taylor from the Boston Red Sox for injury-prone shortstop Adalberto Mondesi and an additional player on Tuesday, the second straight day that Kansas City dealt one of its surplus position players in a bid to upgraded its lackluster bullpen. The 30-year-old Taylor missed all of last season with a back injury, but he was stellar over the previous three seasons in Boston, with a 3.69 ERA and 129 strikeouts over 121 appearances. At one point during the 2021 season, he had a streak of 26 consecutive scoreless outings, the longest streak for a left-hander in franchise history. He also pitched in six of 11 postseason games for the Red Sox in '21, allowing one earned run over four innings pitched. “Josh Taylor is someone we've valued for a long time,” Royals general manager J.J. Picollo said. “If you go back and look at what he did in 2019 in Boston and what he did again in 2021 in Boston in a playoff run, it was really really impressive.” Mondesi signed with the Royals in 2011 and has played his entire career with the club. He made his big league debut in the 2015 World Series, when it seemed as if his future was limitless. But despite elite speed and defense, and showing flashes at the plate, Mondesi was never able to stay healthy, appearing in just 109 games over the past three seasons. Despite having one year left on his deal, Mondesi's future with the Royals was thrown in doubt last season, when heralded prospect Bobby Witt Jr. made his debut. He proceeded to hit .252 with 20 homers and 30 stolen bases. The Red Sox, who have been in the market for shortstop help, hope the 27-year-old Mondesi can stay on the field and make good on the promise he showed in 2019, when he hit .263 with nine homers and 43 stolen bases in 102 games. “We weren't in a spot where we felt we had to trade him,” Picollo said. “There were a couple things we need to think about: What's right for this team right now, and how do you send a clear message that this is the direction we want to go, and you think about the player and the frustrations he went through. Ultimately, it may be the best thing for him.” On Monday night, the Royals sent starting centerfielder Michael A. Taylor to the AL Central-rival Minnesota Twins for a pair of pitching prospects, Steven Cruz and Evan Sisk, that could help the big league bullpen as soon as this season. Cruz, a 6-foot-6 power right-hander, went 1-4 with a 5.14 ERA, 35 walks and 72 strikeouts in 56 innings last season for Double-A Wichita. In 120 career minor league appearances, he has 259 strikeouts in 192 1/3 innings. Sisk, a left-hander with a funky delivery, split last season between Wichita and Triple-A St. Paul. He went 5-1 with a 1.57 ERA, 29 walks and 76 strikeouts in 63 innings between the teams. The 31-year-old Taylor hit .254 with nine homers and 43 RBIs in 414 at-bats last season for the Royals. Drew Waters and Kyle Isbel, who shared time in the outfield last season, are the front-runners to take over his spot in the lineup. “We were really happy with the return in both deals,” Picollo said. ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate LOS ANGELES (AP) — Giancarlo Stanton homered into an especially sweet spot in his Dodger Stadium homecoming at the All-Star Game, putting his name alongside some of the sluggers he loved watching from the left field seats as a kid. Byron Buxton followed with another drive and the American League won its ninth straight Midsummer Classic, beating the National League 3-2 on Tuesday night. AL manager Dusty Baker reminded his team of the winning streak before the game. “We had to hold it down for him and keep it going,” Stanton said. Fans rooting for a tie score after nine innings so they could see a first-time home run derby decide the winner instead of extra innings didn’t get their wish. Instead, the back-to-back homers in the fourth inning were the difference as the AL boosted its overall edge to 47-43-2. Facing 11-game winner Tony Gonsolin of the Dodgers, Stanton’s impressive 457-foot, two-run shot landed in the left-field pavilion. “He smokes them,” NL manager Brian Snitker said. “Big, strong kid.” Stanton and his father, Mike, would sit out there after buying tickets off scalpers for whatever price they could afford. “My Pops took me to my first Dodger game, showed me how to have love for this game and now we’re here,” the New York Yankees slugger said. “Look at us, it’s just incredible.” Despite his love for the home team, Stanton thrilled at seeing the visiting sluggers. “It was really the big boppers when they came into town,” he said. “I wanted to see (Mark) McGwire, (Sammy) Sosa and (Barry) Bonds, even if it was two at-bats. All that wraps around full circle.” Stanton was chosen the game's MVP, receiving a glass bat engraved with his name from two-time MVP Steve Garvey and Billie Jean King, part of the Dodgers ownership. “It hasn’t fully sank in,” he said. “It’s going to be an amazing memory for all of our lives.” The homer ended Stanton's career 0 for 7 skid in the game and at 111.2 mph, it was the hardest-hit homer in an All-Star Game tracked by Statcast. Also scoring was José Ramírez, tying the game 2-all. Four pitches later, Buxton went deep to give the AL a 3-2 lead against a clearly frustrated Gonsolin, who took the loss. Nine-time All-Star Clayton Kershaw got the first start of his career for the NL in his home ballpark, with the Dodgers hosting for the first time since 1980. Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani got the game's first hit on Kershaw's first pitch. Framber Valdez of Houston got the win, tossing a scoreless third inning. AL starter Shane McClanahan of Tampa Bay gave up two runs and four hits. The first-time All-Star, who owns an MLB-leading 1.71 ERA, had allowed four hits or fewer in his last seven starts. McClanahan combined with 10 other pitchers on the five-hitter. Cleveland closer Emmanuel Clase put on quite a show, striking out the side in the ninth to earn the save. Austin Riley’s single in the eighth was the NL’s only hit after the first inning. Ohtani led off for the AL as the designated hitter. Interviewed moments before the start, the Japanese superstar said, in English, he was going to swing. He cracked a 91-mph fastball into center field on the first pitch. “I was definitely swinging a hundred percent,” Ohtani later said through a translator. “Kershaw has really good command.” His hit snapped an 0 for 8 streak as a hitter against Kershaw. Last year, Ohtani was the starting pitcher and led off as the DH in the AL’s 5-2 win at Denver. He didn’t pitch this year so he can start Friday in the Angels’ first game after the break at Atlanta. “I mean, you can’t throw the first pitch of an All-Star Game as a breaking ball,” Kershaw said. “You kind of had to give him a heater there, I think just for everything. Had to do it.” But the three-time NL Cy Young Award winner had the last word. Kershaw fired a pickoff throw to first that caught Ohtani off the bag. “Honestly, I didn’t know quite know what to throw yet. Sometimes I throw over there for a second to be convicted with the pitch,” Kershaw said. “I wasn’t trying to pick him off. I was trying to delay the game for a bit, but it worked out.” Then the Yankees' Aaron Judge, who leads the majors in home runs, went down swinging. After Rafael Devers walked, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. grounded into a fielder's choice, and Kershaw walked off to applause from the appreciative crowd. “I tried to take a minute at the beginning to take it all in and look around, which I usually never do,” Kershaw said. “It kind of calmed everything down for me and then I had a lot of fun.” The NL wasted no time in taking its first 2-0 lead in 10 years. Styling in yellow spikes and alternate yellow and red sleeves, Ronald Acuña Jr. led off the bottom of the first with a ground-rule double to left and scored on Mookie Betts' single. Paul Goldschmidt hit a solo homer with two outs. In between runs, Guardians second baseman Andrés Giménez made a defensive stop on Manny Machado and followed with a dazzling behind-the-back toss to shortstop Tim Anderson, who threw to first to complete the double play. A sellout crowd of 52,518 filled Dodger Stadium two years after the third-oldest ballpark in the majors was supposed to host before the game was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. HERE’S TO YOU, MS. ROBINSON Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts, with all of the other All-Stars bunched behind him, led the crowd in sending out 100th birthday wishes to Rachel Robinson. On his 1-2-3 count, the crowd and players shouted “Happy birthday, Rachel!” The widow of Jackie Robinson didn’t travel from her home in Connecticut. She visited Dodger Stadium in April on Jackie Robinson Day to mark the 75th anniversary of her husband breaking baseball’s color barrier with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. Jackie Robinson’s achievement was honored with on-field comments by Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington and a presentation on the video boards. FIRST PITCH Backed by a mariachi band, Dodgers great Fernando Valenzuela tossed out the ceremonial first pitch. Fittingly, first-time All-Star Alejandro Kirk of Toronto served as catcher. Kirk and Valenzuela were both born in Mexico. Fernandomania gripped the Dodgers in 1981, when the left-hander won Rookie of the Year and the Cy Young Award in helping LA win the World Series. FASHION CRITICS The reviews were mostly negative for the second straight year on the All-Star uniforms. The AL wore dark gray uniforms that blended into the plate umpire’s black shirt and dark gray pants. The NL wore all-white uniforms. Both had gold lettering. Fans were critical on social media, with “atrocious” a frequent critique. Last year, MLB went away from wearing traditional jerseys, which met with heavy online criticism. MIC’ED UP MANOAH Alek Manoah, Toronto’s expressive right-hander, wore a microphone and earpiece while pitching the second inning, engaging in an entertaining conversation with Fox analyst and Hall of Famer John Smoltz. “How hard am I throwing?” Manoah asked early. He also sought scouting reports on Joc Pederson and Acuña Jr. Manoah did fine, striking out three and also plunking Jeff McNeil with a pitch. A lot of players were mic’ed up. Fans heard Judge and Stanton talking back and forth while playing the outfield, and Yankees batterymates Nestor Cortes and Jose Trevino talking while working together. THE SHIFT IS STILL ON Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman batted in the third to the now familiar chants of “Freddie! Freddie!” Even in the exhibition game, an extreme shift was on and he was thrown out from right field. Home Run Derby champion Juan Soto got thrown out by the third baseman playing much closer to second base to end the fifth. Next season, the shift is likely going away in the majors. TAKING IT EASY Hall of Fame announcer Vin Scully, the voice of the Dodgers for 67 years before retiring in 2016, watched the game from his Los Angeles home. The Bronx-born 94-year-old began calling games when the franchise was located in Brooklyn and followed the team out West ahead of the 1958 season. UP NEXT The regular season resumes with six games on Thursday, including Stanton, Judge and the Yankees playing a doubleheader at Houston. The Yankees own the best record in the majors at 64-28. Jose Altuve, Yordan Alvarez and Baker's Astros have the second-best mark in the AL at 59-32. “I just regret that we have to play him a doubleheader on Thursday,” Baker said. “But for today, we’re on the same side.” Also, it will be Freeman, Betts, Trea Turner and the Dodgers, topping the NL at 60-30, hosting the Giants. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Brock Purdy threw two more long touchdown passes to George Kittle and the San Francisco 49ers beat the Washington Commanders 37-20 on Saturday for their eighth straight win. Purdy kept up his impressive play since taking over for the injured Jimmy Garoppolo early in Week 13, looking far better than expected for the player picked last in this year's NFL draft. He has thrown two TD passes in four straight games for the 49ers (11-4) and has won all three of his starts as San Francisco keeps the pressure on Minnesota in the race for the No. 2 seed in the NFC. Taylor Heinicke threw two TD passes for Washington (7-7-1) but also lost a fumble and threw an interception in the fourth quarter. He was replaced after his second giveaway by Carson Wentz. The Commanders are winless in their last three games, but still hold a half-game lead over Seattle and Detroit in the race for the final playoff spot in the NFC. The Niners broke the game open in the third quarter thanks to some more big plays from Purdy. They took the opening kickoff of the second half and drove to the go-ahead score when Kittle got open deep for a 34-yard score. Kittle scored again later in the quarter on a 33-yard catch and run to make it 21-7. Kittle also had two TD catches last week, giving him a career-high eight on the season. San Francisco capitalized on big plays all game, also scoring their first touchdown on a 71-yard end around by Ray Ray McCloud. Nick Bosa and the Niners defense did the rest of the work with Bosa setting up one field goal by Robbie Gould with a strip-sack of Heinicke and San Francisco adding another after Jimmie Ward got an interception deep in Washington territory. Wentz, playing for the first time since Week 6, threw a 20-yard TD pass to Curtis Samuel but it was too little too late for Washington. TIP DRILL The Commanders took advantage of a couple of tipped passes to tie the game late in the first half. The first came when Purdy appeared to complete a throw over the middle to Jauan Jennings. But Jennings bobbled the ball and tipped it right to Darrick Forrest for an interception. On the ensuing drive, Washington converted a third-and-5 on a pass that Jahan Dotson bobbled before catching off a ricochet. That set up Heinicke's 4-yard TD pass to Dotson that made it 7-7 at the break. FOURTH-DOWN STOPS Both teams got stopped on fourth down in the red zone in the first half. San Francisco drove to the 15 on its first drive before Christian McCaffrey was stopped by David Mayo for no gain on a fourth-and-1 pitch from fullback Kyle Juszczyk. Washington got down to the 1 early in the second quarter when Antonio Gibson was stuffed on fourth down by Fred Warner and Javon Kinlaw. The Commanders got stopped again in the third quarter on fourth and 1 from their own 34. INJURIES Commanders: LB Jon Bostic (pectoral) left the game in the second half and didn't return. ... DE James Smith-Williams left in the fourth quarter to be evaluated for a head injury. 49ers: CB Charvarius Ward went to the locker room with nausea in the second half, but returned to the game. UP NEXT Commanders: Host Cleveland on Jan. 1. 49ers: Visit Las Vegas on Jan. 1. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL

Student test scores in math and reading are plummeting since the coronavirus pandemic. The National Center for Education Statistics reported reading and math scores for nine-year-olds have both dropped. Reading scores saw the most significant drop since 1990, while math scores fell for the first time ever. The results compare performances on the N-A-E-P long-term trend reading and math assessments for nine-year-olds from the winter of 2020 to the winter of this year. Students were asked if they had attended class from outside of school during the last school year, with 70-percent responding that they had.

WASHINGTON, May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - According to the new 'WhistleBlower Security US Report' released today, 41 per cent or 64 million working Americans are aware of wrongdoing committed at their place of work and of those, 78 per cent say they are likely to blow the whistle. The top three types of organizational wrongdoing witness by employees are discrimination (38 per cent), health and safety violations (38 per cent), and sexual harassment (36 per cent). The March 2022 research findings were released by WhistleBlower Security Inc. at the 17th annual Compliance Week conference in Washington, D.C. WhistleBlower Security Inc. is a global provider of ethics reporting services and the research was conducted on the Angus Reid Forum with 1,012 employed Americans. "It seems like Americans are done tolerating workplace wrongdoing with 92 per cent saying employees should speak up if they witness it," says Shannon Walker, Founder and President, WhistleBlower Security Inc. The 'WhistleBlower Security US Report' found employees are most likely to report wrongdoing if it affects their colleagues (93 per cent), followed by customers (90 per cent), the leadership team (88 per cent) and the environment (85 per cent). "Following multiple high-profile whistleblowing events in business, sport and politics, American employees seem especially skeptical these days," adds Walker. "In the 'WhistleBlower Security US Report' we found that 89 per cent of American employees believe their employers use unethical or illegal practices that only employees know about and as such, almost all working Americans (94 per cent) say employers should put safeguards in place to protect employees. If they don't, a full third (32 per cent) believe the organization 'probably has something to hide'." As well, if a whistleblower hotline is not available to employees, nearly half (46 per cent) will make their concerns public by sharing them with friends/family (21 per cent), industry officials (14 per cent), lawyers (9 per cent), media (5 per cent), and social media (5 per cent). The 'WhistleBlower Security US Report' also examined the beliefs of 18- to 34-year-old employees and according to Walker, they "see more, fear more and tell more" as compared to their older colleagues. The younger set sees more wrongdoing, especially when working from home during Covid, has greater fears of retaliation if they blow the whistle and on average tells twice as many people about their workplace concerns and are three times more likely to share them on social media. About the Research From March 21 to March 25, 2022, an online survey was conducted by WhistleBlower Security with a representative sample of 1,012 Americans employed at organizations with more than 250 employees. The survey was conducted among members of the Angus Reid Forum. The margin of error is +/- 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. About WhistleBlower Security Inc. WhistleBlower Security Inc. is a global, B Corp Certified provider of ethics reporting services, including a 24/7/365 Global Ethics Hotline and Case Management platform which provide organizations with an efficient and trustworthy ethics reporting process.

DECATUR — A Decatur father is accused of physically assaulting his teenage daughter and her friend, and also smearing the daughter with dog feces, a sworn affidavit said. The affidavit said Decatur police found the 16-year-old daughter with a bloody nose after she said her 51-year-old father hit her and threw objects at her. “The daughter stated (he) smeared dog feces on her face and arms during their physical interactions,” said Officer Nicholas Pulkrabek, who signed the affidavit. “The daughter’s friend (also 16) was placed in a choke hold maneuver by (the father).” Pulkrabek said the mother of the daughter’s friend had gone to the father’s house on the night of April 26 to try and save the girls. She is quoted as telling police she could hear screaming coming from inside and the sound of glass breaking. “(The mother) said (the father) answered the door holding a knife behind his back and attempted to have the family’s dog attack her but it would not,” the officer said. “On arrival, officers made contact with (the father) at the front door. Officers observed what appeared to be blood and broken glass in the residence. Officers immediately detained (the father.)” The defendant was booked into the Macon County Jail on preliminary charges of endangering the life of a child and domestic battery. A check of jail records showed he was released several hours after his arrest after posting a $1,000 bond on bail set at $10,000. All preliminary charges are subject to review by the office of the state’s attorney. 2023 mugshots from the Herald & Review Lourash Hirstein Phillip Gehrken Joseph A. Williams Jetrevius O.

Good afternoon, Chicago. The panel investigating the violent Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection called a surprise hearing today to hear new testimony. Cassidy Hutchinson, a key aide in Donald Trump’s White House, told the committee that Trump was informed that the supporters he addressed that morning had weapons, but he told officials to “let my people in” and march to the Capitol. The Associated Press reports Trump demanded to accompany them, she said, and at one point he aggressively grabbed the steering wheel in the presidential limousine after he was told by security officials that it wasn’t safe. Hutchinson, who was an aide to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, said she was told that by Meadows’ deputy. Read takeaways from today’s hearing. Here’s what else is happening today.

Creating strategies for personalization will be key in building trust as organizations navigate shifting privacy regulations WARRINGTON, England, July 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Cassie, the consent and preference management platform serving Fortune 500 companies globally, debuted new Progressive Profiling and Identity Service features to its Cookie Solution product. The features introduce capabilities that empower marketers to create bespoke, personalized customer experiences built upon anonymous, reliable first-party data, making Cassie's Cookie Solution a more advanced alternative to traditional cookie banners. The product is a first-to-market solution to the pain points faced by today's marketers, who are challenged to reach customers online due to a confluence of factors, including an uptick in privacy browser use, online privacy legislation, and the depreciation of cookie tracking. This has serious impacts on how marketers effectively deliver personalized experiences to their customers - Cassie's new Privacy Pain Points Report, which surveyed more than six-hundred marketing professionals, found that half of marketers say that they don't have the technical or legal resources needed to do their jobs effectively while maintaining marketing compliance. Cassie's Privacy Pain Points Report also found that: - 69% of marketers feel concerned about the potential impact of privacy legislation on their ability to do their jobs effectively; 3 in 4 are concerned about incurring fines if they violate relevant laws concerning third-party cookies. - 4 in 5 marketers are worried about their ability to target ads effectively without third-party data. - 7 in 10 of marketing professionals say intelligent tracking prevention has inhibited their ability to deliver personalized brand experiences. Cassie's Progressive Profiling and Identity Service features enhance Cassie's Cookie Solution, a first-of-its kind marketing compliance tool that was built to solve these problems. "There has never been a better time to invest in first-party data collection," said Cassie founder and board chair Nicky Watson. "Cookie depreciation is on the horizon, and brands that invest proactively in first-party data collection will be prepared for this new reality. With Cassie's new Progressive Profiling and Identity Service features, marketing leaders can trust that their data is accurate, compliant, and capable of being leveraged to deliver personalized experiences to their customers, and customers can trust that their privacy is being protected online." Cassie's Identity Service and Progressive Profiling tools are anonymous solutions that enable marketers to overcome privacy challenges to gather and retain as much user data as possible. Identity Service, which was built as a solution to the challenges presented by Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP), is able to accurately identify up to 35% more web traffic. Progressive Profiling builds trust with customers by creating opportunities for them to voluntarily share and update preference data with the brands they love, giving marketers rich first-party data about website visitors before they convert to customers. Both features deliver insights to make data-driven decisions, from informing where online digital spend should focus and shaping future product development to prioritizing content strategies that increase engagement. The result is highly personalized experiences that drive unparalleled customer engagement. "With Cassie, brands can build trust with their customers by respecting their privacy online and without sacrificing their ability to deliver personalized experiences," said Glenn Jackson, CEO of Cassie. "Cassie's product and features are resilient to the changes impacting marketing and advertising technology, so leaders can be confident they're investing in a long-term solution to marketing compliance."

DETROIT • The surprise deal by Senate Democrats on a slimmed-down bill to support families, boost infrastructure and fight climate change also is likely to jump-start sales of electric vehicles. The measure agreed to by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and holdout Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia would give EV buyers a $7,500 tax credit starting next year, through the end of 2032. There's also a new $4,000 credit for those buying used EVs, a move to help the middle class go electric. But as things often go in Washington, there are a bunch of strings and asterisks. - Get the latest local and national business news from Daily Journal Business Editor Dennis Seid in this exclusive Facebook group. To be eligible, the electric vehicle has to be assembled in North America, and there are limits on annual income for buyers. There also are caps on the sticker prices of new EVs — $80,000 for pickups, SUVs and vans, and $55,000 for other vehicles — and a $25,000 limit on the price of used electric vehicles. Still, even with the restrictions, the credits should help stimulate electric vehicle sales, which already are rising as automakers introduce more models in different sizes and price ranges, said Jessica Caldwell, an analyst for Edmunds.com. "The tax credits for electric vehicles in the bill will benefit consumers and cut costs for low- and middle-income families," the Sierra Club said of the measure, which still must be approved by both chambers. "We're hoping for swift adoption." For the first half of this year, electric vehicles accounted for about 5% of U.S. new vehicle sales, with 46 models on sale. S&P Global Mobility expects that to hit 8% next year, 15% by 2025, and 37% by 2030. At present, many new EVs, including two of sales leader Tesla's four models, wouldn't be eligible for the credits because they're priced higher than the bill's limits, Caldwell said. But the number of eligible vehicles will grow as automakers roll out more mainstream EVs during the next few years, she said. "I would imagine that these price brackets will become a lot more realistic in the coming years when you probably have more vehicles that fall within these parameters," Caldwell said. Several automakers, including Ford and Hyundai, already have them in the $40,000s, and General Motors next year plans to start selling a small Chevrolet SUV for about $30,000 with about 300 miles of range per charge. Also, there aren't many used EVs priced under $25,000 yet, and those that are mainly are older, with lower ranges per charge, Caldwell said, noting that a 5-year-old Chevrolet Bolt small electric car — one of the lowest-priced EVs on the road — is likely to cost more than $25,000. "It seems like that is something that should potentially be revisited for it to make more sense given today's market," she said. To get the credit, buyers of new EVs can't have modified adjusted gross incomes of more than $300,000 per year if filing joint tax returns, $225,000 for a head of household, and $150,000 for all taxpayers not in the first two categories. For used EVs, income limits are $150,000 if filing a joint return, $112,500 for a head of household, and $75,000 for others not in the first two categories. The bill also removes caps on the number of tax credits each manufacturer can offer. General Motors, Tesla and Toyota all have exceeded the cap and can't offer any credits now under a previous measure. But other manufacturers still offer them. Also, more than half the value of battery components have to be manufactured or assembled in North America to get the full credit. And at least 40% of the minerals used in batteries must come from either the U.S. or a country with which it has a free trade agreement. Those percentages increase gradually over the years, and minerals recycled from used batteries in North America also qualify. Credits would also go to buyers of hydrogen fuel cell and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Plug-ins can travel on electric power alone for several miles before the gas-electric hybrid powertrain kicks in. The EV tax credits are much smaller than several Democratic legislators from automaking states had proposed earlier. Gone are extra credits for EVs made in the U.S. by union workers.
