NEW MARKET, Tenn. (WATE) — The Highlander Research and Education Center is steeped in history, hosting and helping train labor and civil rights leaders for decades.
Even Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks joined in their mission. So, why is the center’s current leadership against a bid to put Highlander on the national registry of historic places?
Ash-Lee Henderson, co-executive director of the Highland Research and Education Center, said the dispute has to do with a desire to stay true to Highlander’s mission, and not live in the past.
“Highlander’s been around since 1932,” she said. “This is our 90th year and we’re basically a school that helps people remember how to change their communities for the better through themselves.”
The Highlander Research and Education Center’s headquarters is in New Market, Tenn., but in the past, they’ve called Knoxville and Middle Tennessee home.
“We started in Grundy County on the mountain that will split Chattanooga from Murfreesboro and Nashville,” Henderson said.
The center no longer owns the land in Middle Tennessee but according to Henderson, another organization has been helping to preserve the Grundy County location. “Just about a decade ago the Tennessee Preservation Trust bought the land that our original library sits on.”
Henderson added that while the land is being preserved by the other location, the Highlander Research And Education Center has no authority over the land.
“We’re very grateful that that space now still exists and has been renovated by the Tennessee Preservation Trust, but now there’s an attempt to get it put on the national registry in our name without any conversation with us,” she said.
The Highlander Center has filed a petition with the National Park Service opposing the nomination and saying it should be filed under them, not another organization.
“This petition isn’t an attempt to shame anyone. This petition is an attempt to tell the story correctly and in our own voices,” Henderson said.
Henderson stated that they had verbal conversations with those with Tennessee Preservation Trust and have even offered to buy the land back so it can be put on the national registry under the Highland Center name. “We want our land back. We want the sort of reparations that we think that the movements deserve.”
WATE attempted to get a statement from the Tennessee Preservation Trust. However, there wasn’t a response at this time.
WATE did obtain the application for adding the Highlander Folk School Library to the national register. It offers the civil rights leaders that were mentioned, including the late Congressman John Lewis.
The application stated, “Highlander’s guiding philosophies – promoting civic engagement, democratic ideals, integration, and adult education that addressed social problems head-on – catalyzed the work of civil rights groups.” | 2022-08-10T01:04:30+00:00 | wate.com | https://www.wate.com/news/jefferson-county-news/highlander-research-and-education-center-files-petition-to-preserve-legacy/ |
EUGENE, Ore. (AP)Quincy Guerrier scored 26, Will Richardson had the first triple-double by an Oregon men’s basketball player in 20 years and the Ducks beat Nevada 78-65 Saturday night.
Richardson finished with 19 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists for the program’s first triple double since Luke Jackson had 14 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists on December 20, 2002 against Florida A&M.
Guerrier hit four 3-pointers as Oregon (5-5) used a 19-4 run to open a 12-point lead midway through the first half and the Ducks led the rest of the way. The Wolf Pack closed the first half with a 14-4 spurt to trim the deficit to 36-29 but Richardson hit a jumper and a 3-pointer in an 8-0 run to open the second half and Nevada got no closer than nine points the rest of the game.
Kenan Blackshear led Nevada (8-3) with 20 points and Jarod Lucas scored 16.
Guerrier made 7 of 13 from the field, hit five 3-pointers and grabbed nine rebounds. N’Faly Dante had 11 points and three of Oregon’s 11 blocks. Freshman Kel’el Ware added a season-high four blocks.
Nevada shot just 33% (22 of 66) from the field and made 7 of 28 from behind the arc.

ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan (AP) — The Central Asian nation of Turkmenistan says if you’re trying to smuggle its prized native dog breed out of the country, you’re barking up the wrong tree.
The government is now requiring that its celebrated Alabay dogs receive a passport before they can leave the country.
A law that took effect Tuesday requires that all puppies of the breed, which is also known as the Central Asian shepherd dog, be marked in the government’s pedigree book and register of pedigreed dogs. Passports will be issued including data on the dog’s sex, date of birth, color, as well as details about the owner. Special government export permission will be required.
Turkmenistan, an isolated desert country of 6 million people, prides itself on its horses and dogs, honoring centuries-old herding traditions. Alabay, traditionally used for guarding livestock herds, are among the world’s largest dogs, weighing as much as 80 kilograms (175 pounds).
In 2020, then-President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov established a holiday honoring the dogs, and last year unveiled a 15-meter (50-foot)-tall golden statue of them in the nation’s capital, Ashgabat. The Turkmen leader extolled the Alabay for years. He published a book and wrote a song about the breed and presented Russian President Vladimir Putin with an Alabay puppy in 2017.
Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov’s son, Serdar, who was elected president this year, heads the international association of Alabays. | 2022-07-28T02:38:03+00:00 | upmatters.com | https://www.upmatters.com/news/international/ap-international/turkmenistan-restricts-export-of-its-local-alabay-dog-breed/ |
Biden bats away questions about age, polls; launches 2024 ad
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden rolled out the first ad of his 2024 reelection campaign on Wednesday, casting himself as a warrior in defense of freedom, but immediately found himself grappling with questions about his advanced age and droopy poll numbers.
At an afternoon news conference with South Korea’s president, Biden swatted away questions about his 42% job approval rating in part by arguing that most politicians running for reelection end up in roughly the same boat.
“I feel good, I feel excited about the prospects,” he said. “I think we’re on the verge of turning the corner in a way we haven’t in a long time.”
As for his age — the president would be 86 when he left office if reelected — Biden said such numbers don’t even compute with him.
“I can’t even guess how old I am,” he said. “I can’t even say the number, it doesn’t register with me. The only thing I can say is they’re going to see a race and they’re going to judge whether I have or don’t have it.”
He added: “Things are moving. And the reason I’m running again is there’s a job to finish.”
Biden spoke from the Rose Garden as he was hosting South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol for a state visit.
The president, who announced his reelection campaign on Tuesday, offered a sharp comparison of his tenure with that of his predecessor, Donald Trump, who also is a candidate once again.
“Think about what I inherited when I got elected. I inherited a nation in overwhelming debt, in the hole for the four years that he was president,” Biden said. “I inherited a nation that had a serious loss of credibility around the world.”
Biden’s first TV ad aims to flip the script on Republicans who have traditionally claimed the mantle of “freedom,” aiming to portray the GOP as part of an “extreme movement” bent on overturning elections, restricting access to abortion and undermining voters’ economic security. It will air in major markets in the six states the president carried in 2020 that are key to his path back to the White House.
Along with the ad push, his campaign has begun the process of reengaging a legion of small-dollar donors, with frequent messages urging their support. As an incumbent, Biden is also benefitting from existing joint fundraising relationships with a host of candidates and local parties. His campaign, though, does not plan to release its fundraising totals before the end of the quarter.
The ad offers a taste of what is set to be the core of the Democratic president’s campaign message to voters, as he seeks to paint all Republicans as embracing Trump and out of the step with popular opinion and the nation’s values.
“Courage, opportunity, democracy, freedom: They’re the values and beliefs that built this country and still beat in our hearts,” a narrator says. “But they’re under attack by an extreme movement that seeks to overturn elections, ban books and eliminate a woman’s right to choose.”
The ad goes on to say Biden “has made defending our basic freedoms the cause of his presidency: the freedom for women to make their own health care decisions, the freedom for our children to be safe from gun violence, the freedom to vote and have your vote counted, for seniors to live with dignity, and to give every American the freedom that comes with a fair shot at building a good life.”
The 90-second spot includes footage of the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters trying to overturn the 2020 election and of children fleeing a school shooting as well as patriotic-themed images of flags being raised and Biden greeting supporters.
“For freedom, for democracy, for America — Joe Biden,” the ad concludes.
The Biden campaign said the ad is airing as part of a seven-figure, two-week media buy in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. It said a second ad will be released next week.
“Freedom” is a common buzzword among Republicans who would challenge Biden for reelection, typically around the cultural issues that have defined the early stages of the 2024 GOP presidential nominating campaign. Republican figures, for instance, have attacked race and gender-affirming policy in schools as a threat to the liberty of those who object to them.
It was on the lips of several of the Republican presidential prospects who attended the first big GOP campaign event of the year in Iowa, where the 2024 caucuses are expected to begin the voting next year.
Former Vice President Mike Pence pointed to an eastern Iowa school district as an example of violating such freedoms. The Linn-Mar Community School District near Cedar Rapids allows students to request a gender transition plan for teachers, administrators and students to respect without the knowledge and permission of the students’ parents. A foundation Pence leads has been involved in supporting parents who are suing to overturn the school policy.
“Make no mistake about it, the battle against radical gender ideology is a battle for religious freedom,” Pence told about 1,000 Iowa conservatives in suburban Des Moines on Saturday. “And it’s a battle we must fight.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Striking members of the Writers Guild of America have said they will not picket next month’s Tony Awards telecast, clearing a thorny issue facing show organizers and opening the door for some sort of Broadway razzle-dazzle on TV.
The union last week denied a request by Tony organizers to have a waiver for their June 11 glitzy live telecast. It reiterated that in a statement late Monday, saying the guild “will not negotiate an interim agreement or a waiver for the Tony Awards.”
But the guild gave some hope that some sort of Tony show might go on, saying organizers “are altering this year’s show to conform with specific requests from the WGA, and therefore the WGA will not be picketing the show.” What is being altered was not clear, but it may be to allow a non-scripted version of the Tonys to go on.
The strike, which has already darkened late-night TV shows like “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert “and “Saturday Night Live” and delayed the making of scripted TV shows, was jeopardizing theater’s biggest night, one that many Broadway shows rely on to attract interest with millions of people watching.
The union — representing 11,500 writers of film, television and other entertainment forms — has been on strike since May 2, primarily over royalties from streaming media. While the guild doesn’t represent Broadway writers, it does represent writers who work on the Tonys telecast.
Tony organizers faced a stark choice after the request for a waiver was rejected: either postpone the ceremony until the strike ends or announce winners in a non-televised reception that would ask nominees to cross picket lines. The decision Monday means the possibility of a third way: A non-scripted show that leans heavily on performances.
That is largely what happened during the 1988 awards, which were broadcast during a Writers Guild of America walkout. Host Angela Lansbury and presenters speaking impromptu and with performances from such shows as “A Chorus Line” and “Anything Goes.”
Before the Writers Guild of America decision, a two-part Tony ceremony had been planned, with a pre-show of performances streaming live on Pluto, and the main awards ceremony broadcasting live on CBS and streaming live to premium-level Peacock members.
The big first awards show during the current strike was the MTV Movie & TV Awards, which had no host and relied on recycled clips and a smattering of pre-recorded acceptance speeches. The strike has also disrupted the PEN America Gala and the Peabody Awards, which celebrate broadcasting and streaming media, on Monday canceled its June 11 awards show.

Delmarva Power is working to put more tools in the hands of Delawareans hoping to reduce their energy costs.
Delmarva Power has submitted a proposal for four new energy efficiency programs to the Delaware Public Service Commission.
Delmarva Power’s Candace Womer says the company worked to develop the most cost-effective and beneficial programs possible by collecting local input and evaluating national best practices.
“We want to help our customers save money and enhance affordability, and help combat the effects of climate change. And that’s what these energy efficient programs will do.”
Customers can choose to participate in three of the four new programs.
Home Energy Reports would provide customers with monthly reports that contain energy usage comparisons and energy efficiency tips.
The Quick Home Energy Check (QHEC) provides renters and homeowners with an assessment of their home’s energy use to identify energy-saving opportunities, and install simple energy-saving measures. And the Appliance Recycling program helps customers to recycle responsibly by offering removal of older, inefficient appliances.
Womer says customers must put in the work to see these savings- though their goal is to make it as easy as possible.
“These are programs that the customer does have to initially partake in to adjust their savings or get certain things installed that would help them save energy.”
The fourth program, the Energy Star for New Homes program, focuses on future construction. It encourages companies to build energy efficient homes through incentives, training, and builder support.
If approved, residential customers are expected to see a 45-cent
increase on their monthly bill beginning in 2024 for the first year of the programs. | 2023-06-11T21:35:00+00:00 | delawarepublic.org | https://www.delawarepublic.org/delaware-headlines/2023-06-11/delmarva-power-introduces-four-new-energy-saving-programs |
The president of the University of Vermont issued a blistering denial Thursday of allegations the university failed to adequately respond to complaints of anti-Jewish behavior on the Burlington campus.
In a message to the university community, President Suresh Garimella said the complaints being investigated by the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights have “painted our community in a patently false light.”
“While common wisdom dictates remaining patiently silent as we cooperate diligently with an agency’s investigation, I simply cannot do so,” Garimella’s message said. “These public allegations and our community’s deeply held values call for a strong and immediate response.”
Garimella said the university promptly and thoroughly investigated the allegations outlined in the complaint last year after learning of them.
“The uninformed narrative published this week has been harmful to UVM,” he said. “Equally importantly, it is harmful to our Jewish students, faculty, staff, and alumni.”
On Tuesday, when the complaint and the Department of Education’s investigation were made public, university officials said they were aware of the complaint and were cooperating. At the time, they reiterated the university’s commitment to inclusiveness.
Alyza Lewin, the president of the the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law , who helped file the complaint, said it was discouraging to see the university double-down on its denial of antisemitism on its campus.
“The rationalizations they provide are the same excuses that they gave me a year ago when I spoke to them,” she said Thursday. “They are stubbornly refusing to see and acknowledge that Jewish students on their campus are being targeted and marginalized and excluded on the basis of a key component of their Jewish identity.”
The allegations in the complaint filed by the Center for Human Rights and the organization Jewish on Campus said that Jewish students were excluded from campus clubs, a teaching assistant threatened to reduce the grades of students who supported the state of Israel and rocks were thrown at a building where Jewish students lived.
After investigating the complaint made Sept. 30. 2021, that two groups excluded from membership students who supported Israel as the homeland for Jewish people, the university determined the groups were not recognized student organizations, received no university support and were not bound by the university’s policies governing student organizations.
The university also investigated allegations that an undergraduate teaching assistant made anti-Semitic remarks and had threatened to lower the grades of Jewish students. The university determined that no grades were lowered ,and no student reported they had been discriminated against.
Finally, after learning that rocks had been thrown at a campus building where Jewish students lived, police determined small rocks were thrown at the building to get the attention of a friend, and there was no evidence it was motivated by antisemitic bias, Garimella said.
Lewin said all three explanations fell short, and the university should have forcefully spoken out against antisemitism in all the cases.
The allegations of antisemitism at the university come after antisemitic incidents in the U.S. reached a record high last year. Earlier this year The Anti-Defamation League counted 2,717 antisemitic incidents of assault, harassment and vandalism in 2021, a 34% increase over the previous year and the highest number since the New York City-based group began tracking such incidents in 1979. | 2022-09-16T18:01:15+00:00 | wwlp.com | https://www.wwlp.com/news/ap-national-news/ap-u-of-vermont-president-denies-antisemitism-allegations/ |

ROCHESTER, Minn. - A 21-year-old man was arrested Sunday after a dispute over parking resulted in the man threatening two victims with a gun.
Police said it happened at Cub Foods when two parties were arguing over the way someone had parked. The man, later identified as Eugene Washington, 21, of Rochester, displayed a gun at the two victims. The gun was later determined to be a replica handgun that fires blanks.
Washington was also found with 27 M30 pills and is facing charges of felony threats of violence and third-degree possession of a controlled substance. | 2022-09-19T15:52:41+00:00 | kimt.com | https://www.kimt.com/news/olmsted-county/rpd-man-21-arrested-for-threatening-2-people-with-gun-over-parking-at-cub-foods/article_12e617c2-3824-11ed-b13d-ff621d9383cd.html |
LVIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ever since Russian forces took the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson in early March, residents sensed the occupiers had a special plan for their town. Now, amid a crescendo of warnings from Ukraine that Russia plans to stage a sham referendum to transform the territory into a pro-Moscow “people’s republic,” it appears locals guessed right.
After Russian forces withdrew from occupied areas around Kyiv in early April, they left behind scenes of horror and traumatized communities. But in Kherson — a large city with a major ship-building industry, located at the confluence of the Dnieper River and the Black Sea near Russian-annexed Crimea — the occupying forces have taken a different tack.
“The soldiers patrol and walk around silently. They don’t shoot people in the streets,” said Olga, a local teacher, in a telephone interview last month after the region was sealed off by Russian forces. “They are trying to give the impression that they come in peace to liberate us from something.”
“It is a little scary,” said 63-year-old Alexander, who like other residents gave only his first name for fear of reprisals. “But there is no panic, people are helping each other. There is a very small minority of people who are happy that it is under Russian control, but mostly, nobody wants Kherson to become a part of Russia.”
While the city has so far been spared the atrocities committed elsewhere, daily life is far from normal. After Russia occupied Kherson and the surrounding region, all access was cut off. Kherson now suffers from a severe shortage of medicine, cash, dairy and other food products, and Ukrainian officials warn the region could face a “humanitarian catastrophe.”
Russia has blocked all humanitarian assistance except its own, which troops deliver before Russian state TV cameras, and which many residents refuse to accept. With no cash deliveries to Kherson’s banks, the circulation of Ukraine’s hryvnia currency is dwindling, and damaged communication networks mean credit card payments often fail to go through. Access to Ukrainian TV has been blocked and replaced by Russian state channels. A strict curfew has been imposed.
Residents believe Russian troops have not yet besieged or terrorized the city — as they did in Bucha and Mariupol — because they are planning to hold a referendum to create a so-called “People’s Republic of Kherson” like the pro-Russia breakaway territories in eastern Ukraine. Ballots are already being printed for a vote to be held by early May, Ukrainian human rights ombudsman Lyudmila Denisova warned this month.
In an address to the nation on Friday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke directly to residents of occupied Kherson, accusing Russia of planning an orchestrated referendum and urging residents to be careful about personal data they share with Russian soldiers, warning there could be attempts to falsify votes. “This is a reality. Be careful,” he said.
Kherson Mayor Igor Kolykhaiev joined the chorus of warnings, saying in a Zoom interview on Ukrainian TV that such a vote would be illegal since Kherson remains officially part of Ukraine.
Russia has been silent about any plans to hold a referendum in Kherson, with Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko saying this week he knew of no such proposal.
But there is reason for concern. In 2014, a disputed referendum in Crimea amid the Russian annexation was widely believed to be falsified, with results showing nearly 97% of voters supported joining Russia.
A series of Russian actions this week have added to the growing sense of panic in Kherson. The mayor reported on social media on Monday that Russian troops had seized City Hall, where the Ukrainian flag no longer flew. On Tuesday, the Russians replaced the mayor with their own appointee.
A prominent Russian commander, Maj. Gen. Rustam Minnekayev, announced plans to take “total control” of southern Ukraine and the Donbas, eastern Ukraine’s mostly Russian-speaking industrial heartland, with the aim of setting up a land corridor to Crimea. And Ukrainian military intelligence reported that Russia intends to forcibly mobilize the local population, including doctors, in the southern occupied territories to support the Russian war effort.
Kherson is a strategically important city and the gateway to broader control of the south. From Kherson, Russia could launch a more powerful offensive against other southern cities, including Odesa and Krivy Rih.
The occupation of the Kherson region would also maintain Russia’s access to the North Crimean canal. After the annexation, Ukraine cut off water from the canal, which flows from the Dnieper River to Crimea and previously supplied 85% of the peninsula’s needs.
Volodymyr Fesenko, a political analyst at the Penta Center think tank in Kyiv, says the Russian military’s softer behavior in Kherson is because units from Crimea and separatists from Donetsk and Luhansk, who are either ethnic Ukrainians or have close connections to the region, are deployed there. “Therefore, there have been no atrocities,” he said.
The situation in the surrounding Kherson region, however, tells a very different story — with daily reports of kidnappings, torture, killings or rape. Thousands of people have been deprived of electricity, water and gas.
“The situation in the Kherson region is much worse and much more tragic,” said Oleh Baturin, a local journalist. “Kherson is a big city and there aren’t that many soldiers. It is easier for them to take control of the villages; they are defenseless.”
On April 19, Russian forces opened fire on the villages of Velyka Oleksandrivka and Rybalche, killing civilians and damaging homes, the Kherson Region Prosecutor’s Office reported. A week earlier, Russian troops shot dead seven people in a residential building in the village of Pravdyne. “After that, intending to cover up the crime, the occupier blew up the house with the bodies of the executed people” inside, the report said.
Russian soldiers have also kidnapped local activists, journalists and war veterans, according to Kolykhaiev, the Kherson mayor, who said more than 200 people have been abducted.
Among them was Baturin, who was seized near his home in Kakhovka, 60 miles (90 kilometers) east of Kherson. The journalist was meeting an acquaintance from another village when a group of Russian soldiers attacked him at the train station. They held him in isolation for a week, Baturin said, interrogating him every day; the soldiers asked for the names of organizers of anti-occupation protests, as well as local soldiers and veterans. From other cells, he could hear sounds of torture.
After his release he fled the occupied territory with his family.
“If I had stayed, I am absolutely certain they would come for me again,” Baturin said, speaking by phone last week from Ukrainian-controlled territory after his escape.
Fesenko, the analyst, says the referendum plan indicates Russia’s intention to occupy the region long-term.
“In Crimea and Donbas, Russia had the support of the local population, but this is not the case in the south of Ukraine, where Ukrainians want to live in Ukraine. And this means that in the event of a long-term occupation, Russia risks facing a broad partisan movement,” Fesenko said.
During the first weeks of occupation, thousands of protesters gathered daily on Kherson’s main square, draped in Ukrainian flags and holding signs proclaiming, “This is Ukraine.” Videos on social media showed people screaming at Russia’s tanks and heavily armed soldiers. The protests are now held weekly. On Wednesday, Russian troops used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse the protesters.
Olga, the teacher, regularly takes part. Previously a Russian speaker, she now refuses to utter the language. “I will never be able to communicate with Russians ever again. How can I feel about people who bomb maternity hospitals and children?” she said. “We were flourishing — and now they have ruined our lives.”
Mayor Kolykhaiev said that after the warnings about a Russian referendum and mobilization there has been a panicked rush to leave. “The queues of people who want to leave our city have grown to five kilometers,” he said, adding that around a third of the city’s pre-war population of 284,000 has fled.
Following Zelenskyy’s address to the nation, Olga sent a WhatsApp message to the AP: “The situation in Kherson is tense. My family and I want to leave … but now the Russian soldiers don’t allow it at all. It’s becoming more and more dangerous here.”
Late Monday night, Kolykhaiev wrote on Facebook that armed Russian soldiers had entered the Kherson City Council building, took away the keys and replaced the guards with their own.
On Tuesday, the mayor posted again, saying he had refused to cooperate with the new administration appointed by the Russian regional military commander, Oleksandr Kobets.
“I am staying in Kherson with the people of Kherson,” he wrote. “I am with you.” | 2022-04-28T13:11:53+00:00 | wnct.com | https://www.wnct.com/news/international/occupied-ukrainian-city-fears-sham-russian-referendum-plans/ |
SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois Supreme Court is now deciding whether the state’s recently enacted assault weapons ban violates certain provisions of the Illinois Constitution.
In March, a circuit court judge in Macon County sided with a group of plaintiffs led by state Rep. Dan Caulkins, R-Decatur, and declared the law unconstitutional. The state appealed directly to the Supreme Court, which put a hold on the Macon County decision and put the case on an expedited schedule.
The court heard oral arguments Tuesday in the case. They argued that the law is unfair because it allows certain people, but not others, to continue buying and selling a category of firearms defined as “assault weapons.”
Plaintiffs’ attorney Jerry Stocks argued that because the law allows some people to continue owning the banned weapons — law enforcement officers, certain security guards, active-duty military personnel, and people who already owned those weapons before the law took effect, among others — it violates the state constitution’s equal protection clause. He also argued it violates a ban on “special legislation,” or legislation written for the benefit of one person or group of people.
“These are criminal statutes,” Stocks told the court. “And we're immunizing folks that have absolutely no difference in the enjoyment of the Second Amendment or the enjoyment of Article 1, Section 22 (of the Illinois Constitution) … than anyone else.”
The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and Article 1, Section 22 of the Illinois Constitution both deal with the right to bear arms. But the state constitution’s language is different because it says the right is subject to the police power of the state, meaning it can be regulated to protect public health and safety or law and order.
That distinction is important because in federal law, the right to bear arms is considered a “fundamental right,” and any limitations on it are subject to “strict scrutiny.” That means the government has to show there is a compelling state interest that makes limiting the right necessary and that the law is narrowly tailored to achieve that interest.
In Illinois state constitutional law, however, the right to bear arms is not a fundamental right, and the government is authorized under the state constitution to put limits on it. That means the government only needs to show the limitations have a “rational basis” behind them.
“The purpose of this legislation is to freeze the supply of assault weapons, reduce their further proliferation throughout the state to increase public safety,” Assistant Attorney General Leigh Jahnig said, arguing for a rational basis review.
But Stocks argued that in more recent case dealing with the Second Amendment, the U.S. Supreme Court has moved beyond the rational basis vs. strict scrutiny question. In a decision last summer, the U.S. Supreme Court began using a new standard that requires the state to show that a regulation is consistent with the nation’s “historical tradition of firearm regulation.”
The state, however, argued that the federal standard for judging Second Amendment issues should not apply in the Illinois case because the plaintiffs did not make a Second Amendment claim in their initial suit. And Chief Justice Mary Jane Theis appeared to agree.
“That's not what you brought,” she told Stocks about his Second Amendment claims. “You frame this in a totally different way. You could have joined the three federal cases. You chose to shape it in a different way around special legislation and an equal protection. It’s a much different analysis.”
Lawsuits move in federal court
On April 28, a federal judge in East St. Louis issued a temporary order blocking enforcement of the weapons ban while three cases consolidated in the Southern District of Illinois was being heard. But federal judges in the Northern District that were hearing similar challenges have declined to issue injunctions.
A week after the Southern District judge’s order, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals put a hold on it. The appellate court has since said it will hear a consolidated appeal in five cases dealing with the Illinois law, and it will do so on an expedited schedule.
Oral arguments before the Seventh Circuit are scheduled for June 29.
In the meantime, plaintiffs in the Southern District cases have filed an application with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett for an emergency injunction to block enforcement of the law while the appeals are being heard. Barrett has not yet ruled on that application. | 2023-05-19T00:12:21+00:00 | news-gazette.com | https://www.news-gazette.com/news/local/politics/state-supreme-court-weighs-assault-weapons-ban/article_4f109ec8-a8c9-5359-8202-007d23e32af9.html |
A firearm that can only be shot by the authorized user in an effort to prevent accidental shootings is Ginger Chandler's goal. She is the co-founder of LodeStar Works, a company working to develop a “smart gun” that can be locked and unlocked three different ways: by fingerprint, a pin-pad, and an app.
The technology could help prevent gun-related deaths by unauthorized users. Chandler gave Scripps News a walk-through on how it all works.
They’ve done numerous tests, but Chandler agrees it’s still not perfect.
“It's just pressing a button to unlock and lock, except when your fingers are cold. So, this would be when you would have to use something else. Right? There it goes,” said Chandler. “This is why people, though, doubt the technology. That exact thing that can't. When we go into production, that can't happen.”
"I've just got to prove all three ways work," Chandler added. "I got to prove they're reliable. And I got to prove that under duress, could I even do the pin pad on the side, right? Probably not. And so, the consumer who's going to buy this is the consumer that has a different concern. Maybe they're worried about small children in the house. So, they're going 'I'm willing to risk having to use one or two different ways to unlock this as long as my children can't unlock it.'
Scripps News spoke to gun owners about whether they would consider buying one if it became available on the market.
“I have a niece and nephew and my husband is an armed guard, so if they're over, like, knowing that our guns are safe, locked up, if they were to pick one up, knowing that it's locked from an app, would be... I like that. I love that idea, actually,” said gun owner Haley Hardin.
Others question whether the technology would actually work in a time of defense.
“My initial impression was it seems cool and like it would be something helpful for safety, but it seems like if you're in the moment, it's something that's another thing that you're really asking to fail because you're just adding electronics to a mechanical thing,” said gun owner Wyatt Thorpe.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation says they’re not opposed to the development of authorized user technology, but it does raise other red flags.
“Where we have concerns about is if that becomes mandated technology. If that's something that states start to require, that is on a firearm. And it presents several problems. First, for the manufacturers, it presents an issue of responsibility if that if that technology doesn't work as advertised,” said NSSF public affairs director Mark Oliva.
Chandler says they’re not giving up.
“I will do all the testing that will make us comfortable that this firearm is going to work at a reliability level of our current firearms. Everybody thinks current firearms have no issues, but they do,” said Chandler. “We know after we launch this into the world, somebody is going to go on YouTube and tell you how to hack it and get around it. I just want that to take more than 10 minutes. If they have to wait 10 minutes, 10 minutes is a long time. And if they can't figure it out, I think that it would pause. And we may prevent a suicide. We may prevent a child getting into a backpack when the mom's turned.”
Chandler says they really want to make sure everything is fully functional and reliable before taking this to market. | 2023-01-16T18:03:14+00:00 | ktvh.com | https://www.ktvh.com/news/national/companys-personalized-smart-gun-aims-to-make-firearms-safer |
SALT LAKE CITY — In a unanimous vote, a Utah House committee on Monday passed a bill advancing a state conversion therapy bill.
The vote came hours after a deal was struck on the legislation that originally sought to unwind some of Utah's ban on LGBTQ conversion therapy.
The deal revolved around a language change in House Bill 228, and it was confirmed that the legislation will preserve the ban on conversion therapy for minors. Conversion therapy is a widely discredited practice of attempting to change someone's sexual orientation or gender identity.
In 2020, Utah banned LGBTQ conversion therapy in an administrative rule after efforts to pass a law through the legislature failed. It was the result of a deal at the time between the governor's office, LGBTQ rights groups and even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Last year, it was reported that lawmakers signaled they would be revisiting the ban, raising concerns among Utah's LGBTQ community members.
The state's Rep. Mike Petersen, R-Logan, announced the agreement ahead of the Monday hearing on his bill.
"I am happy to sponsor this important legislation which provides clarity for professionals while continuing to protect Utah’s LGBTQ+ youth," he said in a statement.
“As a former counselor, the current DOPL rule has been particularly concerning to me. I have spoken with former colleagues who stopped treating minors because of ambiguity in the DOPL rule and fear of reprisal if they were to say something non-affirming to their minor patients. I have also spoken with members of the LGBTQ+ community who are grateful for the changes in HB228 because they wish their counselors would have been more inquisitive and curious during their therapy sessions."
Because of changes made to the bill to preserve the original ban, Equality Utah confirmed that it would support the legislation. If it passes the entire legislature, the ban would be enshrined into law instead of through an administrative rule.
"We’ve had important dialogue and have shared our concerns openly, and for that we are grateful," Equality Utah Executive Director Troy Williams said in a statement. "The second substitute continues to prohibit the very dangerous practice of conversion therapy for minors, while providing greater clarification for Utah therapists, and accordingly, we support the advancement of HB228 as amended."
Speaking to reporters on Monday, Senate President J. Stuart Adams, R-Layton, said he had been briefed on the agreement and was supportive of it.
Governor Spencer Cox was apparently involved in some of the discussions around the bill and supported the compromise.
"We appreciate Equality Utah and legislative sponsors working together to find common ground. We’ve encouraged these discussions and support this version of the bill," his office said in a statement.

Former President Donald Trump embarked on another White House run while facing a slew of legal troubles, with criminal indictments and maybe a civil trial or two threatening to interrupt his campaign. Though not disqualifying, the cases could pose distractions and produce unflattering revelations that no presidential candidate would welcome. Trump is no normal politician, though, and the legal scrutiny could feed his preferred narrative that he is being unfairly targeted by the current Democratic administration and a “deep state” bureaucracy.
1. What are the legal cases?
Trump faces possible criminal charges by the US Justice Department over classified documents found at his home at Mar-a-Lago in Florida and his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, as well as by Atlanta’s district attorney over his attempts to change the 2020 Georgia election results. On the civil side, Trump’s hurdles include a lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James that accuses him and three of his children of fraudulently manipulating the value of the company’s assets for years.
2. Could any of this disqualify him as a presidential candidate?
Probably not. Article II of the US Constitution, which lays out qualifications for the presidency, says nothing about criminal accusations or convictions. Trump opponents see two possible avenues to challenging his eligibility, however. One is a federal law barring the removal or destruction of government records: It says anyone convicted of the offense is disqualified from federal office. This could conceivably apply to Trump if — and this is a big if — he’s charged and convicted for taking classified documents from the White House. The other is the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. It says that nobody can hold a seat in Congress, or “any office, civil or military,” if they “engaged in insurrection or rebellion.” At least two advocacy groups have said they will argue that this applies to Trump because he incited and failed to stop the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol as Congress was certifying the results of the 2020 election.
3. Do these cases hurt him politically?
A Quinnipiac University poll in August found that 50% of Americans said Trump should face criminal charges for mishandling classified documents. In a Marist Poll taken at about the same time, 47% of Americans said Trump did something illegal or unethical and should be charged. But Trump’s hardcore supporters have proven to be unwavering. A New York Times/Siena College poll in September found that 44% of voters viewed Trump favorably, similar to the level of support found in recent years. Trump has long tried to cast lawsuits against him and investigations into his conduct as politically motivated, calling them “hoaxes” and “witch hunts.” Signs calling for the Federal Bureau of Investigation to be defunded and Attorney General Merrick Garland fired have become common among Trump supporters. “Within some segments of his base of support, his popularity would be bolstered by criminal charges,” said Barbara McQuade, a former federal prosecutor who teaches at the University of Michigan Law School.
4. What’s the status of the criminal cases?
• In what may be the most serious criminal jeopardy, the FBI said it found 11 sets of documents bearing classified markings at Mar-a-Lago, a number of which were marked top secret. In their search warrant, agents said they were investigating a potential violation of the Espionage Act — which makes it a crime to remove or misuse national-defense information — along with obstruction of justice and violation of a law prohibiting the removal or destruction of government records. Days after Trump announced his candidacy, Garland appointed Jack Smith, the former head of the Justice Department’s public integrity section, as special counsel to take over the probe.
• Another investigation that Smith will run involves Trump’s actions related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Trump urged his supporters to gather in Washington, then exhorted them to march to the Capitol. Lawyers for the Democrat-led House of Representatives Jan. 6 committee have suggested Trump and some of his allies could be charged with trying to obstruct congressional certification of the 2020 election and also defrauding the US.
• In Georgia, Atlanta District Attorney Fani Willis is investigating whether Trump broke the law in his attempts to alter the results of the state’s 2020 vote. In a Jan. 2, 2021, phone call, Trump urged Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” him 11,780 votes — one more than Joe Biden’s margin of victory in the state.
• On Dec. 6, following a weeks-long trial, two units of the Trump family business, the Trump Organization, were found guilty of engaging in a 13-year tax-evasion scheme. A Manhattan jury found the two units guilty of all 17 counts including scheme to defraud, conspiracy, criminal tax fraud and falsifying business records. Trump himself wasn’t charged, and a potential $1.6 million fine to the companies is relatively minor. But with a felony on its record, the Trump Organization could be barred from further contracts with government agencies and could have trouble doing business with banks. Sentencing was set for Jan. 13. Lawyers for both units said they would appeal. In a statement, Trump said he was disappointed with the verdict.
5. Where do the civil cases stand?
• The New York attorney general’s civil suit against Trump and three of his children for allegedly inflating the value of his real estate company’s assets is perhaps the biggest threat to the former president’s wealth, as well as his image as a successful businessman. James is seeking $250 million in disgorgement and a permanent ban on the four Trumps doing business in New York. She’s already succeeded in winning a court order for an independent monitor to oversee the Trump Organization, a move that could bring unprecedented scrutiny to the former president’s finances.
• Trump in November was sued for battery by New York advice columnist E. Jean Carroll, who claims that Trump raped her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s. The suit was filed under New York’s recently enacted Adult Survivors Act, which lifted the statute of limitations for one year on civil claims for sexual offenses. Trump was already facing a potential trial next year in a defamation suit brought by Carroll over his comments, when she first made her accusation in 2019, that Carroll was “not his type” and that she made up the claim to boost sales of her book. Trump says he’s shielded from liability in that suit because he was a government employee undertaking an official act when he denied Carroll’s allegation. In her battery lawsuit, Carroll included a new allegation of defamation against Trump, based on a social media post he wrote after leaving office.
• Trump, his company and his three oldest children are also facing a class-action lawsuit filed in 2018 by four investors who claimed that they were duped by Trump’s promotions into paying thousands of dollars to become independent sellers with ACN Opportunity LLC, which sold a doomed videophone device that Trump touted as the next big thing. The devices were made obsolete by smartphones. Trump sat for questions in October.
• Trump was sued by 12 Democratic lawmakers accusing him of sparking the Jan. 6 riot. Multiple Capitol police officers also sued Trump for physical injuries and racist abuse suffered during that day. Through appeals, Trump is trying to get the cases dismissed.
• Mary Trump, the former president’s niece, sued her uncle, his late brother and older sister for allegedly cheating her out of her share of the family fortune. Donald Trump won dismissal of the lawsuit on Nov. 14; Mary Trump is seeking to have it reinstated.
• A group of Michigan voters sued Trump and his re-election campaign in 2020 for mass voter suppression, particularly among Black voters. Trump’s attempt to dismiss the case was partially granted; the Michigan group sought more time to file a second complaint.

The gold medals are piling up. For the sixth year in a row, the Mediterranean style of eating earned the title of best overall diet, according to 2023 ratings announced Tuesday by U.S. News & World Report. Meals from the sunny Mediterranean also ranked first in the categories of diet best diet for healthy eating and best plant-based diet, the report said.
In two new categories added for 2023, the Mediterranean tied with the cholesterol-lowering TLC (Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes) and flexitarian diets as best family-friendly diet, and with DASH (dietary approaches to stop hypertension) for best bone and joint health diet.
"We're always looking for more health conditions that we can address. But often there's not enough scientific data examining diet X and condition X," said Gretel Schueller, managing editor of health for U.S. News & World Report, who oversees the annual diet ranking.
"However, bone and joint health is an area where there's a fair amount of scientific literature," Schueller said. "We also recognize our population is aging so focusing on diets that can increase the quality of life among older individuals is an important element."
Also new this year: Reviewers only ranked 24 diets instead of the 40 or so diets analyzed in past years. Five diets from the original list — vegetarian, vegan, Nordic, the traditional Asian and the glycemic index — were integrated by judges into the Mediterranean and other diets due to their underlying plant-based principles.
"The take-home message here is the recognition that the Mediterranean diet is really not just about the foods around the Mediterranean," Schueller said. "You can take the the lessons and the approach of the Mediterranean eating pattern and apply it to any cuisine in any country."
That approach is reflected within two new diets — Keytoand Pritikin — that were added to the review for 2023, Schueller said. (Yes. that's Keyto with a Y.)
"We recognize that more and more people are eating sort of a plant-forward or plant-based diet or at least trying to," she said. "The keto with a Y diet is supposed to be a flexible, low-carb Mediterranean plan.
"The Pritikin diet focuses on low-fat, high-fiber eating of whole foods, and is fairly flexible," she added. "We are seeing a push towards eating more whole, unprocessed foods, which I think is a great thing."
What is a Mediterranean style of eating?
Numerous studies have found the Mediterranean diet can reduce the risk for diabetes, high cholesterol, dementia, memory loss, depression and breast cancer. The diet, which is more of an eating style than a restricted diet, has also been linked to stronger bones, a healthier heart and longer life.
The diet features simple, plant-based cooking, with the majority of each meal focused on fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans and seeds, with a few nuts and a heavy emphasis on extra-virgin olive oil. Fats other than olive oil, such as butter, are consumed rarely, if at all, and sugar and refined foods are reserved for special occasions.
Red meat is used sparingly, usually only to flavor a dish. Eating healthy, oily fish, which are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, is encouraged, while eggs, dairy and poultry are eaten in much smaller portions than in the traditional Western diet.
Social interactions during meals and exercise are basic cornerstones of the Mediterranean style of eating. Lifestyle changes that are part of the diet include eating with friends and family, socializing over meals, mindfully eating favorite foods, as well as mindful movement and exercise.
Second and last place
Just as they did in 2022, the DASH and the flexitarian diet tied for second place in best overall diet. Similar to the Mediterranean style of eating, these diets reduce or eliminate processed foods and stress packing your plate with fruits, vegetables, beans, lentils, whole grains, nuts and seeds.
The DASH diet emphasizes limiting salt intake in its goal to reduce blood pressure, while the flexitarian diet, true to its name, allows an occasional indulgence of meat or poultry.
A panel of 33 experts examined top diets and ranked them in several categories: Did the diet include all food groups; was it evidence based; are needed foods available at any supermarket; how easy is the diet to prepare, and did it use additional vitamins or supplements.
"We focused on quality over quantity," Schueller said. "Our reviewers felt there are some diets out there that are so wacky they're not worth giving time to, such as the Dukan diet, which we no longer rank."
The worst diet award went to the raw foods diet this year, at least in part due to the lack of nutritional completeness, which has raised safety concerns among the reviewers. Because followers can only eat unprocessed foods that haven't been cooked, microwaved, irradiated, genetically engineered or exposed to pesticides or herbicides, reviews consider the diet almost impossible to follow.
The popular keto diet, along with the modified keto, was ranked 20 out of the 24 diets, followed by Atkins, SlimFast and Optavia. These diets emphasize eating high-protein or high-fat foods with minimal carbohydrates and receive low rankings because they are extremely restrictive, hard to follow and eliminate entire food groups.
Despite keto's low overall rating, reviewers gave the keto diet first place for best short-term weight loss diet, Schueller said, quickly adding that these diets are not considered healthy as a lifestyle.
"These are the diets for someone who's got a wedding or an event they want to go to in the next few months," she said. "Will you lose weight in the short term? Absolutely. Will you keep it off for the next two years? Probably not."
More winners
In the category of best (long-term) weight-loss diet, WW (formely called Weight Watchers) came in first, with DASH and TLC tied for second. WW also got top honors in the best (commercial) diet program, followed by NOOM and Jenny Craig.
Flexitarian and TLC shared the gold in the category of easiest diet to follow, while the Mediterranean and DASH diets tied for third.
The DASH diet took top honors as best diet for heart health and for people with diabetes, followed by the Mediterranean, flexitarian and Ornish diets. The Ornish diet was created in 1977 by Dr. Dean Ornish, founder of the nonprofit Preventive Medicine Research Institute in California.
The Ornish diet is combined with stress-management techniques, exercise, social support and smoking cessation, and according to Ornish is the only scientifically proven program to reverse heart disease without drugs or surgery

HONG KONG — (AP) — China's economic growth missed forecasts in the second quarter of the year, adding to worries over surging youth unemployment and a weak property sector and raising the likelihood the government will double down on support for the faltering post COVID-19 recovery.
The world's second largest economy grew at a 6.3% annual pace in the April-June quarter, much slower than the 7% plus growth analysts had forecast given the anemic pace of activity the year before.
Unemployment of youths aged 16 to 24 rose to a record 21.3% in June, up from 20.8% the month before.
Investment in property development, a vital driver of both industrial and consumer demand, sank 7.9% in the first half of the year compared to a year earlier in a troubling sign of persisting weakness in an industry that slowed even before the pandemic as the government moved to rein in excessive borrowing.
Officials have acknowledged that the economy is facing stiff headwinds, but said they expected growth to still reach the ruling Communist Party's official target for this year of about 5%.
The government will adjust policies to stabilize growth, National Bureau of Statistics spokesman Fu Linghui said at a news conference Monday.
Quarterly growth, the usual measure for other major economies, was 0.8%, according to government data released Monday, in line with expectations but down sharply from 2.2% in January-June.
Analysts have been far less optimistic than the Chinese government about the outlook for the year, given weakening demand for Chinese exports in other major economies.
The numbers are a “worrying result,” said Moody’s Analytics economist Harry Murphy Cruise.
“China’s recovery is going from bad to worse,” he said. “After a sugar injection in the opening months of 2023, the pandemic hangover is plaguing China’s recovery.”
Government spending is likely to help key industries like real estate and construction, but won’t be a “silver bullet,” he said in a commentary.
The 6.3% growth in China’s gross domestic product from April to June outpaced a 4.5% expansion in the previous quarter.
The still robust growth is largely due to the economy growing just 0.4% a year earlier in April-June of 2022 amid strict lockdowns in Shanghai and other cities during COVID-19 outbreaks.
Apart from more government spending, regulators may cut interest rates and take other measures to free up credit, Marcella Chow, global market strategist at J.P. Morgan Asset Management wrote in a report.
“The weak economic readings suggest an urgency in escalating policy support so as to stabilize expectations,” Chow said.
Earlier this year, growth was boosted as people flocked to shopping malls and restaurants after nearly three years of “zero-COVID” restrictions were removed in late 2022.
The government's growth target of “around 5%” was seen as a conservative goal. It can only be met if the economy maintains close to its current level of growth.
Data released earlier showed exports declined 12.4% in June from a year earlier as global demand faltered after central banks in U.S. and Europe raised interest rates to curb inflation.
Retail sales, an indicator of consumer demand, in June rose 3.1% from the same period in 2022. That's seen as a strong point, but not strong enough, analysts said.
Industrial output, which measures activity in the manufacturing, mining and utilities sectors, beat analyst's expectations, rising by 4.4% in June compared to the same month a year earlier.
China’s policymakers are not having to fight inflation, but may end up having to contend with its opposite, deflation, or falling prices due to weak demand. In recent months, the authorities have tried to spur lending and spending, with mixed success.
Fixed-asset investment — spending on factory equipment, construction and other infrastructure projects to drive growth — rose by a still tepid 3.8% for the first half of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022.

Ukrainians search for 20 missing after Russia strikes mall
KREMENCHUK, Ukraine (AP) — Russian forces battled Wednesday to surround the Ukrainian military’s last stronghold in a long-contested eastern province as shock reverberated from a Russian airstrike on a shopping mall that killed at least 18 people in the center of the country a day earlier.
Moscow’s battle to wrest the entire Donbas region from Ukraine saw Russia forces pushing toward two Luhansk province villages south of the city of Lysychansk while Ukrainian troops fought to prevent their encirclement.
Britain’s Defense Ministry said Russian forces were making “incremental advances” in their offensive to capture the city. Lysychansk is the last major area of the province under Ukrainian control following the retreat of Ukraine’s fighters from the neighboring city of Sievierodonetsk.
Russian troops and their separatist allies control 95% of Luhansk and hold about half of Donetsk region, the other province that makes up the mostly Russian-speaking Donbas.
The latest assessment by the Institute for the Study of War, a think tank based in Washington, said the Ukrainians were likely in a fighting withdrawal to seek more defensible positions while draining the Russian military forces of manpower and resources.
Meanwhile, crews continued to search through the rubble of the shopping mall in Kremenchuk where Ukrainian authorities say 20 people remained missing. Authorities in the city declared three days of mourning.
The blast from Monday’s airstrike was so powerful, relatives may not be able to recover any trace of their loved ones’ remains.
Ukrainian State Emergency Services press officer Svitlana Rybalko told The Associated Press that along with the 18 people killed, investigators found fragments of eight more bodies. A number of survivors were being treated for injuries such as skull fractures and severed limbs.
“The police cannot say for sure how many (victims) there are. So we are finding not the bodies but the fragments of bodies,” Rybalko said. “Now we are clearing at the very epicenter of the blast. Here, we practically cannot find bodies as such.”
Several families stood by what was left of the Amstor shopping center Wednesday morning in hopes of finding missing loved ones. One young woman sat cross-legged on the ground weeping behind dark sunglasses,.
“This is pure genocide,” local resident Tatiana Chernyshova said while going to lay flowers at the site. “Such things cannot happen in the 21st century. Peaceful people suffer.”
“We need to engage everyone to help stop the war, help us fight these scum – these Russian aggressors,” Chernyshova said. “It needs to be stopped by any means possible.”
Psychologists working at the site with families told the AP they were trying to help people come to terms with their loss.
“We are trying to help them release their emotions now, as later it becomes harder and much more painful,” said one psychologist, who did not give his name as he was not authorized to speak to the press.
After the attack on the mall, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of becoming “a terrorist” state carrying out “daily terrorist acts.” On Wednesday, he reproached NATO for not embracing or equipping his embattled country more fully.
“The open-door policy of NATO shouldn’t resemble old turnstiles on Kyiv’s subway, which stay open but close when you approach them until you pay,” Zelenskyy told NATO leaders meeting in Madrid, speaking by video link. “Hasn’t Ukraine paid enough? Hasn’t our contribution to defending Europe and the entire civilization been sufficient?”
He asked for more modern artillery systems and other weapons and warned the leaders they either had to provide Ukraine with the help it needed to defeat Russia or “face a delayed war between Russia and yourself.”
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on Wednesday dismissed what she claimed was the Ukrainian government’s “blatant provocation” in trying to blame the mall missile strike on Russia’s military.
“All these fakes, unfortunately, were replicated and distributed,” Zakharova said.
Britain’s Defense Ministry said there was a “realistic possibility” the missile strike on the shopping center “was intended to hit a nearby infrastructure target.”
“Russian planners highly likely remain willing to accept a high level of collateral damage when they perceive military necessity in striking a target,” the ministry said. “It is almost certain that Russian will continue to conduct strikes in an effort to interdict the resupplying of Ukrainian front-line forces.”
Russia’s military also is experiencing a shortage of “more modern precision strike weapons” that together with “the professional shortcomings of their targeting planners” is compounding civilian casualties, the British ministry said.
In southern Ukraine, a Russian missile strike in the city of Mykolaiv killed at least four people and injured five after a missile hit a multi-story apartment building Wednesday, regional governor Vitaliy Kim said.
Mykolaiv is a major port in Ukraine’s south, and seizing it - as well as Odesa further west - would be key to Russia’s objective of cutting off Ukraine from its Black Sea coast.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said in a statement that the missile strike on Mykolaiv targeted a base for training “foreign mercenaries,” as well as ammunition depots.
Russian forces have been regularly pummeling Ukrainian weapons and munitions depots, oil storage and other facilities across Ukraine.
Vitali Klitschko, the mayor of Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, urged the NATO leaders in Madrid to do whatever it took to stop the war, saying that if Ukraine is defeated, “you’re going to be next.”
“If it’s not going to be stopped now, all of us are going to be affected. The free world, the so-called free world is going to be affected. And NATO and the world society needs to learn how to act fast,” Klitschko said.
Separately, European Union leaders approved Wednesday a 600 million euro package to address food security issues brought on by the Ukraine war. The money, from European Development Fund reserves, will be earmarked for African, Caribbean and Pacific countries.

For the first time in nearly five decades, someone new is going to be elected Suffolk County civil clerk of courts.
Michael Joseph Donovan has retired after serving as the clerk magistrate for civil business since 1976, ending a run of nearly half a century in a countywide elected position that rarely gets publicity.
He officially hung up the docket folder in December, according to a trial court spokeswoman; he celebrated his retirement with a party this week.
Donovan, who worked his way up from an office boy to 12-term elected official, has left the keys to the clerk’s office for now with his friend, Southie neighbor and first assistant John Powers III.
Powers, a veteran of the office and the grandson of a former state Senate president and Boston mayoral candidate, will hold the office as acting clerk until after the election for the position next year.
And now Powers plans to run to make that more permanent, he told the Herald.
“I understand the job and i understand where the job is going,” he said. “You need somebody with expertise.”
He said the key with this job is making sure everyone has equal, consistent access to the courts, particularly as they scramble to modernize in a building that still doesn’t even have Wi-Fi. Suffolk Superior Court is downtown at 3 Pemberton Square, but covers Boston, Revere, Chelsea and Winthrop.
At this point, no one else has recently designated a committee to run for this office.
The position rarely makes headlines, but in it Donovan was making an annual rate of $174,532 when he retired, according to state data.
Donovan, who still likes to get out and about at political functions, couldn’t immediately be reached for comment. Donovan’s retirement was first reported in the Dorchester Reporter.
Powers said Donovan leaves “big shoes to fill” and is “incredibly well respected by the bar and the community.”
The clerk-of-courts positions are serious business, though they also can be a good landing spot for politicians whose other ambitions haven’t worked out. Over on the criminal side of the clerk’s office — a couple of floors up in the aged Suffolk Superior courthouse downtown — Maura Hennigan, a former Boston city councilor who’s not a lawyer, runs the show, as she has since getting elected in 2006. That’s the year after she stopped serving on the council to instead opt to run against incumbent Mayor Thomas Menino, who defeated her. | 2023-03-04T12:26:20+00:00 | bostonherald.com | https://www.bostonherald.com/2023/03/04/boston-sees-first-open-race-for-suffolk-superior-civil-court-clerk-magistrate-in-nearly-50-years/ |

After a brief two-game road trip to the West Coast, No. 20 Auburn kicks off Southeastern Conference play Wednesday looking to build off one of its top performances of the season when it plays host to Florida.
Following a 74-71 loss to Southern California on Dec. 18, Bruce Pearl’s team dominated Washington 84-61 three nights later. Auburn (10-2) got 18 points each from Jaylin Williams and Johni Broome, shot 55.9 percent from the field (33 of 59), including 47.1 percent (8 of 17) from 3-point range, and outscored the Huskies 53-38 in the second half to secure the victory.
The Tigers also won the rebounding battle 42-24 and limited Washington to 36.8 percent (21 of 57) shooting from the floor, including 25 percent (5 of 20) from behind the arc.
“It was a really good road win against a Pac-12 club, and it was everybody,” Pearl said. “Our inside guys did great, our guards did great, we made shots, we defended. Our guys should feel good about the progress we made on this trip because I thought we played better at USC too.”
Broome has scored in double figures in six straight games for Auburn and he’s averaging 12.2 points and a team-leading 8.2 rebounds through 12 games. Broome is one of the top shot blockers in the country at 2.8 per game and is hot on the heels of Wendell Green Jr., who has averaged a team-leading 12.6 points.
Williams is one of Auburn’s best defenders, but his offense has come alive of late. Over his last three games, the forward has averaged 15.3 points, providing Pearl with much-needed oomph on offense.
Backup true freshman guard Tre Donaldson has seen his role increase with Green nursing an ankle injury. In the loss to USC, Donaldson had season highs in points (12) and steals (four). In the win over Washington, he had a season-high seven assists.
Florida (7-5) is looking to get back into the win column following a 62-53 loss to Oklahoma in the Jumpman Invitational at Charlotte, N.C.
If the Gators expect to upset Auburn on the road, they will have to shoot the ball better. Against the Sooners, Florida shot 32.8 percent (20 of 61) from the floor and went 2 of 22 (9.1 percent) from 3-point range.
Starters Trey Bonham (10.2 points), Kyle Lofton (8.4 points, 3.9 assists), Will Richard (10.7 points, 4.1 rebounds) and Alex Fudge (8.2 points, 5.4 boards) were a combined 8 of 32 from the field and 1 of 15 behind the arc against the Sooners, one of the nation’s top defensive teams.
“I thought we competed well, which is something we’ve emphasized getting better at,” Florida head coach Todd Golden said. “But to beat a good team you have to make shots.”
One positive for the Gators against Oklahoma was the play of big man Colin Castleton, who had 22 points and eight rebounds on 8-of-15 shooting. He enters the matchup with Auburn averaging 15.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game.

Boeing bids farewell to an icon, delivers last 747 jumbo jet
SEATTLE (AP) — Boeing bids farewell to an icon on Tuesday: It’s delivering its final 747 jumbo jet.
Since its first flight in 1969, the giant yet graceful 747 has served as a cargo plane, a commercial aircraft capable of carrying nearly 500 passengers, a transport for NASA’s space shuttles, and the Air Force One presidential aircraft. It revolutionized travel, connecting international cities that had never before had direct routes and helping democratize passenger flight.
But over about the past 15 years, Boeing and its European rival Airbus have introduced more profitable and fuel efficient wide-body planes, with only two engines to maintain instead of the 747′s four. The final plane is the 1,574th built by Boeing in the Puget Sound region of Washington state.
A big crowd of current and former Boeing workers is expected for the final send-off. The last one is being delivered to cargo carrier Atlas Air.
“If you love this business, you’ve been dreading this moment,” said longtime aviation analyst Richard Aboulafia. “Nobody wants a four-engine airliner anymore, but that doesn’t erase the tremendous contribution the aircraft made to the development of the industry or its remarkable legacy.”
Boeing set out to build the 747 after losing a contract for a huge military transport, the C-5A. The idea was to take advantage of the new engines developed for the transport — high-bypass turbofan engines, which burned less fuel by passing air around the engine core, enabling a farther flight range — and to use them for a newly imagined civilian aircraft.
It took more than 50,000 Boeing workers less than 16 months to churn out the first 747 — a Herculean effort that earned them the nickname “The Incredibles.” The jumbo jet’s production required the construction of a massive factory in Everett, north of Seattle — the world’s largest building by volume.
The plane’s fuselage was 225 feet (68.5 meters) long and the tail stood as tall as a six-story building. The plane’s design included a second deck extending from the cockpit back over the first third of the plane, giving it a distinctive hump and inspiring a nickname, the Whale. More romantically, the 747 became known as the Queen of the Skies.
Some airlines turned the second deck into a first-class cocktail lounge, while even the lower deck sometimes featured lounges or even a piano bar. One decommissioned 747, originally built for Singapore Airlines in 1976, has been converted into a 33-room hotel near the airport in Stockholm.
“It was the first big carrier, the first widebody, so it set a new standard for airlines to figure out what to do with it, and how to fill it,” said Guillaume de Syon, a history professor at Pennsylvania’s Albright College who specializes in aviation and mobility. “It became the essence of mass air travel: You couldn’t fill it with people paying full price, so you need to lower prices to get people onboard. It contributed to what happened in the late 1970s with the deregulation of air travel.”
The first 747 entered service in 1970 on Pan Am’s New York-London route, and its timing was terrible, Aboulafia said. It debuted shortly before the oil crisis of 1973, amid a recession that saw Boeing’s employment fall from 100,800 employees in 1967 to a low of 38,690 in April 1971. The “Boeing bust” was infamously marked by a billboard near the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport that read, “Will the last person leaving SEATTLE -- Turn out the lights.”
An updated model — the 747-400 series — arrived in the late 1980s and had much better timing, coinciding with the Asian economic boom of the early 1990s, Aboulafia said. He recalled taking a Cathay Pacific 747 from Los Angeles to Hong Kong as a twentysomething backpacker in 1991.
“Even people like me could go see Asia,” Aboulafia said. “Before, you had to stop for fuel in Alaska or Hawaii and it cost a lot more. This was a straight shot — and reasonably priced.”
Delta was the last U.S. airline to use the 747 for passenger flights, which ended in 2017, although some other international carriers continue to fly it, including the German airline Lufthansa.
Atlas Air ordered four 747-8 freighters early last year, with the final one leaving the factory Tuesday.
Boeing’s roots are in the Seattle area, and it has assembly plants in Washington state and South Carolina. The company announced in May that it would move its headquarters from Chicago to Arlington, Virginia, putting its executives closer to key federal government officials and the Federal Aviation Administration, which certifies Boeing passenger and cargo planes.
Boeing’s relationship with the FAA has been strained since deadly crashes of its best-selling plane, the 737 Max, in 2018 and 2019. The FAA took nearly two years — far longer than Boeing expected — to approve design changes and allow the plane back in the air.

PARIS, France — The Olympic flame for the 2024 Paris Games will pass through 64 departments — including five overseas — and 400 towns over 68 days before the cauldron is lit.
Organizers announced the route for the torch relay on Friday at a Paris university.
“Paris 2024 is the greatest collective project in our history,” organizing committee president Tony Estanguet said. “The torch relay plays an important role because it has the capacity to touch so many people.”
The torch will be lit by the sun's rays on April 16 in Ancient Olympia, Greece. It will then be carried around the nation before its handover in Athens.
The flame will leave Athens on April 27 aboard a three-mast ship named Belem for the French port of Marseille — a former Greek colony founded 2,600 years ago.
The Belem was first used in 1896, the same year the modern Olympics came back. It will be skippered by French navigator Armel Le Cléac’h, winner of the solo around-the-world race Vendée Globe in 2017. The crew will reach Marseille on May 8.
After leaving Marseille, the torch relay will take in heritage sites such the imposing Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy and the 2,500-year-old medieval city of Carcassone. It will also trail along the famed red-wine vineyards of Saint-Émilion and white-wine vines of Chablis.
“They are the Games of the country,” said Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, citing French author Victor Hugo and his theme of universality. “Paris belongs to the whole country.”
Including beyond its borders.
A passage in France's overseas territories, called the Relais des Oceans (Ocean Relay), will begin on June 9 in Guyana and will take in the Reunion Island, Polynesia, Gaudeloupe and Martinique before coming back to Nice on June 18.
“It’s going to be spectacular,” said Estanguet, a three-time Olympic canoeing champion.
Continuing over land, the torch will rise up the Alpine mountain pass of Chamonix for Olympic Day on June 23 before spending July 14 — known as Bastille Day, France's national day — and July 15 in Paris.
The torch will then tour various suburbs of Paris until returning via Seine-Saint-Denis — home to the Stade de France — before arriving back in Paris.
“It's an occasion to all come together, whatever our origins,” Hidalgo said.
More precise details of the route in Paris will be given on July 5.
The location of where the cauldron will be lit and at what time are being kept secret until the day itself, amid wide expectations it will be at the iconic Eiffel Tower.
A total of 10,000 people will participate in the torch relay. The four captains of the relay will be Olympic swimming champions Laure Manaudou and Florent Manaudou — who are siblings — along with Paralympians Mona Francis (triathlon) and Dimitri Pavadé (long jump).
SECURITY
Local police forces responsible for each section of the relay will help with security. Law enforcement will escort and protect the flame with a security bubble around the torch and its carrier.
A team of eight called “Les Gardiens de la Flamme” (The Guardians of the Flame) have been hand-picked to ensure the flame stays constantly lit. They were selected from police and military forces following an internal competition.
The Paris Games will run from July 26-Aug. 11, followed by the Paralympics from Aug. 28-Sept. 8. The flame for the Paralympics will be lit in the British town of Stoke Mandeville and will be carried by 1,000 people. | 2023-06-23T15:04:27+00:00 | king5.com | https://www.king5.com/article/news/nation-world/olympic-flame-2024-paris-games-68-days/507-20106ac6-253c-4a6b-bd54-c1aa3dabddad |
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Rhode Islanders who flocked to a summer hotspot on Monday for the Victory Day holiday got into brawls at a resort and on a ferry ride home, leading to eight arrests.
The fighting started at a beach resort on Block Island that was hosting a reggae festival. It continued on a ferry that was added to the schedule late in the day due to overcrowding on the island.
Rhode Island State Police say state troopers, as well as officers from three towns responded to the ferry shortly after 9:30 p.m.
Police arriving by boat leapt aboard, searching the ferry while holding their guns.
They arrested seven people, who are all from the Rhode Island cities of Providence and Pawtucket, ranging in age from 20 to 37. Five were charged with disorderly conduct, one was charged with obstructing an officer and one faces a weapons charge. They were arraigned and released. The ferry was heading to the Port of Galilee in Narragansett when the fighting broke out.
Two people were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
State Police had six troopers on the island during the day to help the local police department in anticipation of large crowds at Ballard’s Beach Resort. There was a disturbance at the resort before the ferry brawl and one person was arrested there for fighting, police said. He was also arraigned on a disorderly conduct charge and released.
The state is the only one in the nation that still observes the Victory Day holiday, which commemorates Japan’s surrender ending World War II in August 1945. | 2022-08-09T19:24:57+00:00 | seattletimes.com | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/rhode-islanders-returning-from-summer-hotspot-brawl-on-ferry/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world |

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is facing backlash after saying her one-year-old granddaughter already has guns.
Speaking at the annual National Rifle Association convention Friday in Indiana, Gov. Noem talked about her early exposure to weapons as a young girl and said her granddaughter "is set up" to follow in her footsteps.
"Now Addie, who you know — soon will need them. I want to reassure you, she already has a shotgun and she already has a rifle," Noem told the crowd. "And she's got a little pony named Sparkles too, so the girl is set up."
Noem also took time during her 24-minute speech to sign an executive order that blocks state agencies from contracting with banks that discriminate against firearm-related industries.
"This Executive Order will protect the God-given right to keep and bear arms from being infringed upon by financial institutions," Noem said. "South Dakota is setting the standard for the most Second Amendment-friendly state in the nation. But it’s not just the media and big government that are attacking our rights. Now, we have seen banking institutions go after law-abiding gun owners. Well, not on my watch. I won’t stand for it, not in South Dakota."
While statements supporting the Second Amendment aren't anything new at NRA events, it was Noem's comment about "little Miss Addie" that drew criticism online.
"Absolutely sickening. How the hell is this real life in America?" Tennessee Democrat Chris D. Jackson tweeted in response to a clip of the governor's speech.
While it's unknown whether Noem's granddaughter already has access to weapons, it's speculated that she likely meant they will be available when the toddler is old enough to begin learning about gun safety.
Nonetheless, her comments come in the wake of yet another mass shooting involving children, after six people — including three nine-year-old students — were killed at a Nashville Christian school last month.

In-kind donation from Chicago-based global consumer housewares maker will help meet increasing demands for cleaner indoor air for First Nations people impacted by the ongoing wildfire season in British Columbia, Canada
DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Nov. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Through an in-kind donation from Instant Brands, maker of consumer household favorites like Instant Pot®, Pyrex® and more, the First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) is tangibly bolstering its health-related emergency management support services to wildfire-affected communities. FNHA is the health and wellness partner to over 200 diverse First Nations communities across the province of British Columbia.
As the wildfire season persists across much of the Province, the FNHA is fielding a growing number of health-related support requests from First Nations people and communities impacted by deteriorating indoor air quality issues. So far this year, requests for air purifiers often exceed availability. So, when Instant Brands reached out to the FNHA with an in-kind donation, FNHA immediately mobilized, securing thousands of brand-new air purifiers.
FNHA plans to distribute the 3,600 medium-size Instant® Air Purifiers, free of charge, across its five Regions. FNHA is currently identifying the best method to distribute the units on an as-needed basis. Remaining air purifiers will be stored and made available to communities as needed in advance of next year's wildfire season. The donation is also expected to reduce FNHA's reliance on loaner-only units.
"It is our honor to play a small role in helping the First Nations Health Authority and the families and communities it serves," said Ben Gadbois, President and CEO of Instant Brands. "We are all connected in some way, and as a global company, we have a shared responsibility to help communities impacted by natural disasters."
With a population of 5.24 million, British Columbia is home to fewer than five people per square kilometer, and this includes a number of rural and remote First Nations communities, which until recently proved challenging for mass distribution of emergency response supplies. However, during the pandemic, FNHA established a distribution network designed to deliver COVID-19 vaccines to each of its more than 200 Nations communities. FNHA will leverage this same network to expedite distribution of the air purifiers.
"We are thankful for this generous donation as we continue to support those with an increased health risk to wildfire smoke gain access to cleaner air amid this extended wildfire season," said Richard Jock, Chief Executive Officer, First Nations Health Authority. "With this volume of air purifiers on hand, we are better positioned to meet this need and will be rapidly deploying these units into the hands of individuals with chronic conditions such as asthma and heart disease as well as pregnant women, young children and Elders."
FNHA maintains a wildfire information page, www.fnha.ca/wildfires for real-time updates on the wildfire situation, current evacuation zones, road closures, emergency phone lines and other crucial emergency services.
The FNHA is the health and wellness partner to over 200 diverse First Nations communities and citizens across BC. In 2013, the FNHA began a new era in BC First Nations health governance and health care delivery by taking responsibility for the programs and services formerly delivered by Health Canada. Since then the FNHA has been working to address service gaps through new partnerships, closer collaboration, health systems innovation, reform and redesign of health programs and services for individuals, families, communities and Nations. The FNHA is also a champion of culturally safe practices throughout the broader health care system. Taking a leadership role, the FNHA actively works with its health partners to embed cultural safety and humility into health service delivery and improve health outcomes for First Nations people.

NEW YORK (AP) — Clint Dempsey thinks the U.S. Soccer Federation hurt the men’s national team by delaying its decision on a coach leading up to the 2026 World Cup.
Gregg Berhalter’s contract expired Dec. 31 and the USSF appointed Anthony Hudson as interim coach while it investigated a decades-old domestic violence allegation against Berhalter. An outside law firm said in March there was no impediment to retaining Berhalter, but British executive Matt Crocker was hired in April as sporting director and said he likely will take until the end of summer to decide on a coach. In the meantime, Hudson quit and B.J. Callaghan took over as the second interim U.S. leader.
“I think that they need to hurry up and make that decision because we’re running out of time,” Dempsey, a former American forward and now a CBS broadcaster, said ahead of Thursday’s CONCACAF Nations League semifinal against Mexico in Las Vegas. “I think we took too long in terms of appointing our sporting director and we’re taking a little bit too long in terms of appointing our manager, because time is of the essence.”
Since returning to the World Cup in 1990 after a 40-year absence, the U.S. has won just one knockout game, against Mexico in 2002. With the expansion of the tournament to 48 nations, the Americans figure to be among 12 seeded teams — meaning they won’t face a top-nine nation in the group phase. Reaching the new round of 32 and winning at least a pair of knockout games figures to be the minimum required to consider the tournament a success.
Crocker hasn’t publicly identified who is under consideration. If he decides on an American other than Berhalter, former Leeds manager Jesse Marsch could be a contender.
“This team I think proved a lot of doubters wrong, that they do have the potential, they do have the quality to eventually be challenging for a semifinal spot in the World Cup,” former American forward Charlie Davies said. “I want the national team coach, whoever it may be, to be able to build off of what has already been built. The foundation is there.”
Dempsey and Davis will be analysts for CBS’s Nations League coverage, joined by retired midfielder Maurice Edu. The game against Mexico and Sunday’s meeting with Canada or Panama in the final or third-place game will be streamed on Paramount+ and the CBS Sports Golazo Network.
Berhalter was replaced by Hudson on an interim basis while the USSF investigated the domestic violence accusation brought to the federation’s attention by the family of Gio Reyna, which was angered over his lack of playing time in Qatar. Nearly sent home from Qatar by Berhalter for lack of hustle in training, Reyna returned to the national team and started a pair of March matches.
Edu faulted Gio’s parents, former U.S. captain Claudio Reyna and women’s player Danielle Egan.
“Gio’s already played with this group since the World Cup,” Edu said. “I don’t know if he’s earned his trust of his teammates yet. We’re on the outside looking in, right, so we can only just make assumptions. The best way that you go about kind of combating a situation like that and making amends from that is your performance on the pitch. If Gio comes into camp and he’s a team-first type player, he’s doing all the things that you would want out of a teammate and then ultimately on game day he’s out there performing, I think it makes it easier to kind of mend that wound.”
Because of the Nations League, the CONCACAF Gold Cup was pushed back to a start later in June and most top Europe-based players will skip the regional championship for vacation and preseason training with their clubs. The U.S. gets an automatic World Cup berth as co-host, making Nations League and next summer’s Copa América the only competitive national team matches with the primary player pool.
“When you get to the knockout rounds, when you get to the big games, who’s going to be the manager and who are going to be the players that step up to do something special?” Dempsey said. “I’m excited to see what’s going to happen. But it all starts with CONCACAF Nations League games, in my opinion, because that’s what got everybody believing and got them on that wave of how they built towards the last World Cup.”

INDIANAPOLIS — Pato O’Ward stood crestfallen for another year on pit road as a second straight potential Indianapolis 500 victory fell just out of reach. O’Ward had Marcus Ericsson in sight but failed after 12 minutes on pit road to figure out how to get the jump off the final restart on the Indy 500 champion.
The centerpiece of Arrow McLaren SP gave it his best shot, and it still wasn’t enough to get a victory.
“I really don’t think I could have done it much better,” O’Ward said. “I think I did everything in my power pretty much perfectly in order to position ourselves to get it.”
Pretty much perfect at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Just as not as impeccable a final sprint to the checkered flag as Ericsson’s run.
O’Ward finished second in the Indy 500 on Sunday, perhaps a crushing feeling for the Mexican driver but the high point in a stout race for McLaren. Felix Rosenqvist finished fourth — and was the second-best Swede behind Ericsson — and two-time Indy 500 champion Juan Pablo Montoya was 11th.
Not a bad showing in the first Indy 500 for McLaren with majority ownership of the race team.
“Doesn’t get much closer,” said Zak Brown, the CEO of McLaren Racing. “If you would say coming into the race would you take a second, a fourth and an 11th, then you’d say yes. But sitting here right now feels a bit disappointing. But the team did a great job.”
O’Ward, a 23-year-old budding star, finished fourth in last year’s Indy 500 and felt for another year he simply didn’t have enough speed to catch the winner; Ericsson on Sunday, Helio Castroneves in 2021. O’Ward is in his third season driving the No. 5 for Arrow McLaren and is considered a championship contender. O’Ward and McLaren announced a contract extension through the 2025 season that included a McLaren for his personal use and potential opportunities for McLaren’s Formula One team.
Sure, a McLaren is nice. But he sure would have liked to add the Borg-Warner trophy to his collection.
“I sure as hell will do everything in my power to find more. We need to do a better job and just be better,” O’Ward said.
O’Ward and Rosenqvist also gave Chevrolet its best finishes in a race where Honda placed six cars in the top 10 (including the winner). McLaren even bested the Team Penske fleet of Chevy drivers Josef Newgarden (13th), Will Power (15th), and Scott McLaughlin (29th).
Rosenqvist shared O’Ward’s disappointment in how the end played out. Jimmie Johnson crashed with four laps remaining and that brought out a red-flag stoppage at the Speedway. It wasn’t enough time for Rosenqvist to figure a path to victory.
He also got beat down the stretch by 2013 champion Tony Kanaan, who finished third.
“I kind of went for it. I wanted to get Tony there,” he said. “I had him for a while but he held down the throttle on the outside and he got me back.”
Rosenqvist is in a contract year with McLaren and fighting for his job. A win could have changed everything for him.
“I think once you’re up there, it’s like anyone can win,” he said. “I wasn’t really happy in the last stint with the car. We kind of went a bit too far on the loose side. I lost a bit of confidence once I got passed by Marcus.”
McLaren, which made its mark in Formula One, is determined to become the official team of North America and is chasing fans and sponsors throughout the United States, Mexico and Canada. There’s no doubt McLaren is trending up, and the 2019 debacle when an unprepared team failed to qualify Fernando Alonso in the Indy 500 is well behind them.
Now the biggest sting in May comes from just missing out on the win instead of the race.
Which driver did Brown feel worse for out of his three drivers?
“I’m not quite sure,” he said. “Me? I had to watch all three.”

The 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor arrived with a problem. It had been surpassed by the Ram TRX and no longer marked peak truck.
In the most American solution possible, Ford has thrown more power at the Raptor to create the 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R and thus solved the issue.
That roar you heard last Monday was me in the 700-hp Raptor R. Sorry, not sorry.
The Raptor R shoves a supercharged V-8 under the hood of the Blue Oval’s fully loaded, Baja-inspired pickup and supersizes the price to $109,375 to put the Raptor back in the hunt as one of the most ridiculous trucks money can buy.
Ford unleashed me in a Raptor R at Michigan’s Silver Lake State Park to rip through sand dunes and fly through the air. It became a contest of which limits would be reached first: mine or the truck’s.
Finally, V-8 fire and fury
As the gap between the lead Raptor R and mine widened on the pitch black highway at 6:15 am, I mashed the Raptor R’s go pedal. The truck’s front end visibly lifted as the rear squatted and the truck shot forward. Running in Baja mode with the exhaust baffles open, the exhaust roared to decibel levels that would definitely annoy the neighbors and maybe alert any local police.
Laughing maniacally I said to no one, “Hey! Ford fixed the Raptor’s power problem.” The Raptor R is terrific in its outrageousness.
The Raptor’s twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6, with its perfectly adequate 450 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque, has been cast aside for R duty. Bye, Felicia.
In its place is the Mustang Shelby GT500’s supercharged 5.2-liter V-8 rated at 700 hp and 640 lb-ft of torque. Yes, that is 2 hp less than the Ram TRX.
When I asked Carl Widmann, chief engineer of Ford’s Performance division, if it really would’ve been that big a deal to tune the engine to 705 hp, he just laughed. After all, the Raptor R weighs roughly 400 lb less than the TRX.
Widmann’s response makes sense after spending time both on- and off-road in the Raptor R. A few extra horsepower would’ve only been for bragging rights. The Raptor R feels noticeably lighter on its rubber feet than the TRX in both dynamic transitions and general ride quality.
While the engine uses the same 2.7-liter, water-cooled, inverted supercharger spinning up to 12 psi of boost as the muscle car, it’s been revised for off-road truck duty. Mustangs don’t jump into the air, tackle steep grades, or tear through the desert on sand at high speeds.
A new supercharger pulley increases low- and mid-range torque compared to the Shelby. Unlike the TRX, supercharger whine isn’t always present in the cabin and can only be heard when specifically listening for it. The Raptor R’s power also doesn’t whack instantly, but it hits hard and shoves occupants, along with everything else in the truck, backward after a slight beat for the supercharger to spool.
To keep things lubed and cooled, Ford installed a new oil cooler and filter, along with a deeper oil pan. For better breathing, a new, wider air intake is paired with a high-flow conical air filter, translating to 66% more intake volume than the Mustang.
It’s no surprise, but the supercharged V-8’s fire and fury will cost big money even after spending six figures to buy the Raptor R. While off-roading, the supercharged V-8 guzzled fuel at the alarming rate of no better than 3 mpg. For those who feel that might not be a fair assessment, during 85 miles of highway driving, the trip computer said I averaged 11.9 mpg. EPA fuel economy ratings aren’t available yet. As a reality check, those are similar to the numbers we’ve seen in a TRX, and not that much worse than a turbo V-6 Raptor. Stay tuned for more real-world testing in the future.
The 10-speed automatic transmission has a new calibration to deal with the extra power, but like in the standard Raptor, the gear shifts are rapid, always on point, and become sharper in Sport and Baja modes. To ensure things don’t go boom, a heavy-duty turbine damper and four-pinion rear output assembly were added to the torque converter. Ford also swapped in a 5.0-inch aluminum driveshaft (standard Raptors run a 4.5-inch driveshaft) along with a pinion snubber to keep things from moving too much during hard launches.
Speaking of launches, the Raptor R lacks launch control. The TRX has it, but Widmann told me, the team is focused on off-road performance: “Why would you want launch control?” This isn’t a dragstrip truck, the engineer noted.
Dive, squat, thrash, repeat
With its enhanced power the Raptor R squats, dives, and rolls like the street-legal trophy truck it emulates. All it took was another two cylinders, a supercharger, and 250 hp.
The Raptor’s Fox shocks with remote reservoirs carry over to the R, but the supercharged model sees the front spring rate increased by 5% to account for the V-8 powertrain’s extra 100 lb or so on the front axle.
Ford hasn’t upgraded the brakes from the standard Raptor despite the increased power. In what I could consider extreme but limited testing, two other journalists and I drag-raced through the sand continuously for nearly 30 minutes. I consistently pushed the Raptor R to about 70 mph before running out of space and slamming on the brakes. The brakes never faded, but I could smell them after repeatedly hauling nearly 6,000 lb of pickup back to reality.
To ensure the front axle handles the increased speed that will come with the increased power, Ford uses a finned aluminum front differential cover to dissipate heat. Ford also swaps in stiffer front axle bushings and an internal travel limiter.
Even with 13 inches of travel up front and 14.1 inches in the rear, I bottomed out the Raptor R’s front end three times in about five hours of off-roading. It’s able to carry so much speed that potential dangers arrive quickly. In two of the three instances, I launched the truck into the air, and the other occurred after cresting a sand dune and heading into another while carrying far too much speed. The truck didn’t care and neither did Ford engineers, who noted that’s what bash plates are for.
Unlike the more pedestrian Raptor (words I never thought I’d type), the R model only comes on squishy 37-inch tires. There is no 35-inch rubber option, which on the non-R model is the more fun option thanks to less tire weight and the ability to rotate quicker in the sand. The extra power of the R solves most of that problem as the extra weight of the 37s isn’t felt as much while giving the truck an approach angle of 33 degrees and an extra 1.3 inches of ground clearance over a Raptor on 35s.
Yes, it can be loud
After spending a day blasting over and through sand dunes, I think the Raptor R might be too loud. I must be getting old.
Widdman told me at full throttle in Baja mode (which has the active exhaust dumps open) the exhaust reaches 80 db in the cab and 130 db at the tips. As a point of reference, Silver Lake State Park’s exhaust noise limit is 94 db, not that anyone but me seemed to notice that bullet point on the map with the park rules.
The second-generation Raptor built from 2017 to 2020, with its twin-turbo V-6, didn’t sound good. Ford knew it, and we knew it. The current gen-three truck fixed that issue with a new exhaust system featuring a “trumpet” design and equal-length tubing. The result is a sound almost like a straight-piped Nissan GT-R mixed with a Z.
The Raptor R dumps the turbo V-6 truck’s trumpet and features a straight design with “packed tips.” Widdman explained the packed tips incorporate baffling and muffler filler-like material that combine to help take out high-frequency noise and sizzle.
With Quiet, Normal, Sport, and Baja modes, the truck can run with the baffles completely closed, slightly open, more open, or fully open. The baffles are always open above 4,000 rpm regardless of mode. It will default to Normal mode unless programmed to start in Quiet mode. While Normal mode definitely provides a bark upon startup, it’s tame compared to the TRX, and at idle it’s downright mellow. Opening up the dumps in Baja mode sounds better in general, but it can border on tiring as I experienced while burying the throttle over and over again off-road. On road, even in Baja mode, the exhaust doesn’t seem to boom or drone, but we’ll need more time with the truck in the real world to truly determine that.
A sleeper Raptor?
It feels like a stretch to call any Raptor a sleeper, but it will take a keen eye to tell an R model from a standard Raptor.
Visually, the only differences between a Raptor R and a standard Raptor are blacked-out trim, orange tow hooks, a 1.0-inch taller hood vent, tiny R badges on the grille and tailgate, and available R-specific fender and hood graphics with V-8 slathered all over them.
Inside, the Raptor R is equipped like a loaded Raptor, including the Recaro front seats, suede and leather seating surfaces, carbon-fiber trim, a 12.0-inch digital gauge cluster, and a 12.0-inch touchscreen.
What’s the bottom line?
At $109,145, the Raptor R addsa $37,445 premium over the base Raptor, though that truck lacks a lot of features the R has. Apples-to-apples, there’s a $25,245 price delta between a comparably equipped Raptor and Raptor R. That’s a lot of money for a supercharged V-8. Then again, can you really put a price on being king?

FUKUOKA, Japan (AP) — Matt Cooper has no illusions about the hazards of diving from a 27-meter platform — about 90 feet, or as high as a nine-story building — into the sea, a lake, or a diving tank.
“Even if it’s a good dive, the impact you have from 27 meters is like a car crash going 85 kilometers per hour (50 mph),” said Cooper, who’s preparing for the high-diving competition this week at the World Aquatics Championships in southwestern Japan.
Cooper is dented up.
He pulverized his left heel in Australia diving into a pool that was too shallow. The heel’s now fastened together with metal plates, screws, and rods.
In Switzerland he was rescued by scuba divers who pulled him unconscious from a lake after a belly flop.
“I basically landed on my chest and my chin and got an uppercut punch,” the American said. “I didn’t get knocked out immediately. But I remember thinking — ‘Oh, that didn’t feel good.'”
His Dutch wife Ginni van Katwijk — yes, she’s also a high diver competing this week in Japan — has her own injury file.
She tore ligaments in her left elbow doing a warm-up dive and needed Tommy John surgery, a procedure usually reserved for baseball pitchers. Or the day she was practicing a new dive, but came up short of perpendicular on the entry. Her face paid.
“I had two black eyes and a bruise under my chin and a bruise on my arm,” she said. “But I had to go back up again because I didn’t want to be traumatized by that dive.”
So why do they tease danger, test mortality, and threaten incapacity? Men in competition dive from 27 meters and women from 20 (66 feet). They land feet first. If they were diving in head first, the shoulders, the head and the neck could crumble from the impact.
“There is something in high diving that you can’t get anywhere else in the world, and that’s the adrenaline,” Matt said. “It’s something that no other drug in the world can give you.”
Matt acknowledged that his parents have endured sleepless nights as their son and daughter-in-law tempt fate.
“They are supportive but they really don’t like what we’re doing,” Matt said of his parents, Bill and Nancy Cooper.
Ginni chimed in laughing. “I’m sure they blame me.”
Matt said his father was watching on television when he was pulled limp out of the water in Switzerland.
“He probably went for a five-hour walk because he was so stressed,” Matt said. “So my parents are counting down the days when we’ll be done.”
Of course it looks dangerous. But the sound is also terrifying when divers hit the water from high up. The loud crack at impact mimics a gunshot from a large caliber weapon.
“I hope they have good insurance,” said Yuko Matsuda, who helps run the diving venue.
Matt had the same reaction most people do when he first looked up at the platform or, worse yet, when he stood there and looked down.
“I went up at first and said there’s no way. I’ll just stick to the normal 10-meter (33 feet) platform, which most people think is high enough.”
Danger has another lure. Diving pays they bills — and then some.
For several years the two have worked for Royal Caribbean Cruises as featured performers in the ship’s water shows. They met as collegiate divers — Ginni at the University of Houston and Matt at the University of Texas at Austin — and joined the show at the suggestion of a friend.
“After only eight months of dating we got a couples cabin on the ship, and we didn’t kill each other,” Ginni said. “If you can survive living in a crew cabin for 11 months, you can take on the world.”
With expenses paid on the ship, Ginni said they can put away their salaries to buy a house when their careers end. A big house.
“Plus, we were not ready for real-life jobs,” Ginni added.
The diving platform on the ship is only 17 meters (55 feet) but presents big problems if the sea churns and the water in the pool starts sloshing around.
“It gets very windy, but sometimes in the winter it can get very rocky,” Ginni said. “The water can literally flow out of the pool. So sometimes we have to modify or postpone the show because it’s just too rough.”
Matt proposed in 2016 shortly after shattering his heel, and they married two years later. Ginni joked that he received her sympathy vote.
“I was basically on one leg so I had to propose on crutches,” Matt said.
Matt had not yet graduated to diving off the 27-meter platform, still working at lower heights when he crushed his heel.
The injury, of course, pushed him higher.
“They told me I wouldn’t walk normally again,” Matt said. “I had to work my butt off in physical therapy and prove that I could walk and dive again.”
“That drove me to do my first 27-meter dive to show the orthopedic community that there are success stories out there,” he added. “Then once you do one, you’re hooked.”

TEL-AVIV, Israel and BOSTON, July 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CardinalOps, the AI-powered detection engineering company, is sponsoring a live SANS webinar with the goal of helping security operations professionals decipher the alphabet soup around SIEM, EDR, XDR, and MDR.
Large and mature security organizations have invested years of time and effort into their SIEM deployments – often described as the "operating system of the Security Operations Center (SOC)" – as well as their EDR deployments. Many are now faced with questions about the benefits and risks of adopting new approaches versus optimizing the effectiveness of their existing security stacks.
To hear what the experts are saying, join Dr. Anton Chuvakin, Security Advisor at the Office of the CISO, Google Cloud, and Randy Watkins, CTO at Critical Start, as they discuss (and debate) questions such as:
- If I have a SIEM and EDR, do I need XDR?
- Is XDR a better EDR or a new SIEM?
- Does XDR include response? Where does SOAR fit in?
- Is XDR a hunting platform or a detection platform?
- Is MDR about managed services related to EDR? What about Managed XDR?
- Does XDR take less headcount to manage and operate than standalone EDR and SIEM?
- Should I map my MITRE ATT&CK coverage across SIEM, EDR, XDR? How?
WHAT: SANS webinar featuring Anton Chuvakin and Randy Watkins

LEAD PLAINTIFF DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 21, 2022
CLASS PERIOD: MARCH 22, 2019 THROUGH AUGUST 4, 2022

We are proud to have recovered billions of dollars for our clients and the classes of shareholders we represent.
FULGENT'S ALLEGED MISCONDUCT
Fulgent, together with its subsidiaries, provides COVID-19, molecular diagnostic, and genetic testing services to physicians and patients in the United States and internationally. As a result, Fulgent must comply with the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits the knowing and willful payment of "remuneration" to induce or reward patient referrals or the generation of business involving any item or service payable by the federal health care programs. Fulgent also must comply with the Stark Law which prohibits a physician from making referrals for certain designated health services, including laboratory services, that are covered by the Medicare program, to an entity with which the physician or an immediate family member has a direct or indirect financial relationship.
On August 4, 2022, Fulgent released its second quarter 2022 financial results, disclosing, among other things, that the SEC was conducting an investigation into certain of the company's reports filed with the SEC from 2018 through the first quarter of 2020. The disclosure followed the company's receipt of a civil investigative demand issued by the U.S. Department of Justice "related to its investigation of allegations of medically unnecessary laboratory testing, improper billing for laboratory testing, and remuneration received or provided in violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute and the Stark Law."
Following this news, Fulgent's stock price fell $11.02 per share, or 17.29%, over the following two trading sessions, to close at $52.72 per share on August 8, 2022.
WHAT CAN I DO?
Fulgent investors may, no later than November 21, 2022, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP encourages Fulgent investors who have suffered significant losses to contact the firm directly to acquire more information.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — The three women who want to be Oregon's next governor were gearing up Tuesday for an in-person debate, just six weeks before election day.
The debate was to be held Tuesday evening at Oregon State University-Cascades, in Bend, Oregon.
Democratic nominee and former Oregon House Speaker Tina Kotek fired a shot across the bow earlier Tuesday with a video saying that an election victory by either Republican candidate Christine Drazan or unaffiliated candidate Betsy Johnson would usher in “a right-wing Oregon.” The video showed rioters storming the U.S. Capitol.
Drazan is anti-abortion and Johnson is pro-gun, the campaign video tweeted by Kotek reminded voters in this predominantly blue Pacific Northwest state.
Drazan, a former GOP state lawmaker, blames Kotek and Johnson for a homeless crisis and says she'll be tough on crime.
The abortion issue has become a potential liability for GOP candidates, including Drazan, following the Supreme Court’s decision to remove constitutional abortion protections. Most Oregon voters favor abortion rights.
Drazan has said there's no reason to include her position against abortion in her campaign issue roadmap, but told Oregon Public Broadcasting she supports “common-sense regulations on abortion, including protecting life in the third trimester.”
Johnson is pro-choice and a strong supporter of the Constitutional right to own firearms.
“I believe that a woman has a right to bear arms, and I believe she has a right to make a decision to bear children,” Johnson said in an interview last spring.
In a Fox News interview earlier this week, Johnson, a former veteran lawmaker, disparaged Kotek as “tent city Tina” due to widespread homelessness that has blighted parts of Portland. She also criticized Drazan's anti-abortion stance.
It is the second televised debate for the three candidates, with Democrats lacking a lock on this race. Johnson, who used to belong to the Republican party and then was a Democrat, is seen as a potential spoiler. Two national election-watching groups rated the race as a toss-up.
There are 1 million registered Democrats and 729,000 registered Republicans in Oregon. But there are also 1 million registered voters claiming no party affiliation. Which way they swing come Nov. 8 could be decisive in whether a Republican will be Oregon's governor for the first time since 1987, or an independent since 1937.
Gov. Kate Brown, a Democrat, can't run again because of term limits. | 2022-09-27T23:52:50+00:00 | expressnews.com | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Oregon-s-3-major-gubernatorial-candidates-to-17471247.php |

With Only 290 Bottles Produced, the Limited Allocation of Glen Grant Bottles Valued at More Than $68,000 are Expected to Sell Out Quickly
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CaskX, a pioneer and market leader in the sale of barreled bourbon investments, announced today that it is selling a limited allocation of 72-year-old single malt Scotch-Whisky from Scotland-based Gordon & MacPhail as a perk to its investor customer base. Recorded as one of the top 5 oldest whiskies globally, each 700ml bottle of the single malt Scotch-Whisky Glen Grant range was distilled in 1948 at the Milton Distillery and matured in an American oak ex-Sherry cask and is valued at more than $68,000 (USD) and includes 5 years storage and insurance. The company anticipates that it will quickly sell out of its limited allocation. Any remaining bottles will be offered and sold to potential investors of its bourbon casks, which the firm acquires from southern distilleries including Jackson Purchase and Kentucky Artisan Distillery.
Rare single malt whisky bottles are among the most prized and highly desirable investment opportunities in the world today. At a Bonham's auction in Hong Kong earlier in 2022 a bottle of Glen Grant 72 fetched more than $100,000 (USD). CaskX has managed to secure a limited allocation of bottles from Gordon & MacPhail to offer to select collectors and investors. These bottles are typically only sold at auction and rarely seen for sale otherwise. Bottled at 56.2% ABV, the whisky is packaged in a Dartington Crystal decanter that features a design to represent the age of the cask and is inspired by a tree's annual growth rings. When it comes to flavor, this whisky offers a multitude of unique notes that set it apart from any other that has come before. On the nose, the whisky has aromas of Christmas cake moistened with oloroso Sherry, with a slightly burnt base. On the palate, drinkers will find 'a sweet taste at the start and a tannic, dry kick to finish with a surprising punch of spice, whispers of espresso and deep dark chocolate.'
"With only 290 bottles produced of the Gordon & MacPhails' 72 Glen Grant single malt Scotch-Whisky we are absolutely sure this will be one of the best perks afforded to our loyal customer base that are also connoisseurs of spirits from all parts of the world," said Jeremy Kasler, CEO and founder of CaskX. "Our expectation is that our limited allocation of the 72 year-old bottles will be quickly sold out once offered to our customers and potential investors, with plans for an event later in the year to celebrate."
CaskX begins by working with clients to build a portfolio of barrels, also known as casks, based on the investor's desired objectives. By selecting barrels from specific regions, distilleries, and vintages an investor can achieve the right combination that manages risk, offers the desired holding period, and is projected to achieve target returns. Upon purchasing a suitable portfolio, investors receive certificates for each of the barrels which prove their ownership rights and can be used to transfer the barrels in the event of a future sale. All barrel investments are then stored at a government-regulated warehousing facility at either the distillery or a third-party storage provider until the barrels are either bottled or sold to another party. Investments are also fully insured to protect investors from an unforeseen disaster or loss. By investing in whiskey barrels investors can help the industry grow by providing cash flow to distilleries in advance of the whiskey being of adequate age for release as bottles.
Founded in 2020 by entrepreneur and long-time businessman Jeremy Kasler, CaskX is a global firm that specializes in building investment portfolios of barreled bourbon and scotch for investors around the world. Capitalizing on the underserved market niche of alternative investing in the barreled spirits market, CaskX works directly with distilleries to purchase and store their barrels, connecting those offerings with accredited investors who purchase a portfolio of barreled spirits to hold for future resale or bottling. The company maintains offices in Australia, Hong Kong, and the United States. More details about the firm can be found at www.caskx.com.

Reno instructor explains dangers of puffy jackets inside car seats
RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - It’s cold outside and the chances are parents are layering their kids, but experts say to think twice before buckling children wearing thick coats in the car seats.
Child Passenger Safety Instructor at REMSA, Nellie Martinez said, bulky winter coats will cause the straps to be tight to the jacket, instead of safely tight to the child, which can cause unsafe gapping and a lack of security.
“The possibility of the child being hurt is higher,” she said.
The puffiness of the coat can compress in a crash and create a loose car seat harness. That’s why experts recommend taking the jacket off before putting the child in the car seat.
“In a crash, we want the child and the car seat to move together,” said Martinez while doing a demonstration with mannequins. “If this (strap) is loose, the child is the one that’s going to be moving forward first. I see this a lot. The child is the one that’s going to be receiving the impact then the car seat. So really important that this (harness) is nice and snug and the clip is right across the armpit level.”
If you find that the coat can’t be safely worn under the harness, there are a couple of things you can do:
1. For smaller children, put a blanket over them to keep them warm.
2. For a bigger child, after securing them in the car seat, turn the coat around and put it on backward.
3. Use a thinner jacket (not puffy). If it has a hoodie leave it on.
While there are coats online, claiming to be car seat safe, Martinez explained it is important to make sure it has been tested with the type of car seat you own.
“It’s worth taking the time to make sure the child is placed safely in the seat,” said Martinez.
Under a new law, children under two years of age must be retrained in a rear-facing car seat, in the backseat of a vehicle.
REMSA offers monthly inspection events and one-on-one consultations by appointment. For a child safety car seat inspection, contact: REMSA Health Education at (775) 353-0806 or register at https://remsaeducation.enrollware.com/schedule#ct96144.
It is important that the harness is tight enough, to the point you can’t pinch the webbing between your fingers.

Man arrested after wanting to drug, kidnap child from school, authorities say
XENIA, Ohio (WXIX/Gray News) - Police in Ohio say a man is facing multiple charges after he admitted to going to an elementary school to drug and kidnap a child.
WXIX reports authorities were called Monday evening by St. Brigid School Principal Terry Adkins about an unknown man, later identified as 35-year-old Reid Duran, who entered the school during an open house.
According to Adkins, Duran lied to him about who he was and why he was at the school.
Court documents said Adkins met officers in the parking lot and told them about Duran.
Authorities said Duran told them several stories about why he was at the school before eventually admitting that he came to the school to kidnap a juvenile.
Court documents shared that Duran voluntarily went to the Xenia Police Division. However, while speaking to officers, he picked up a pen, stood up and violently lunged at an officer.
Sgt. Lon Etchison of the Xenia Police Division said the officer defended himself and took Duran into custody.
According to court documents, Duran told officers that he was attempting to find a small child for sexual favors at the school. He also claimed that he preferred children between the ages of five and 13.
Duran reportedly told officers that he planned to give a child a Starburst candy that would tranquilize them. He said he planned to wait until the child passed out and then remove them from school.
Sgt. Etchison said Duran attempted to escape police custody after his interview and had to be physically restrained. Duran was then taken to the Greene County Jail.

Following 18 offseason player departures, a new head coach in Blair Gavin, and a new tactical philosophy, FC Tulsa earned a valuable point on the road Saturday with a 1-1 tie at Miami FC, a playoff team a year ago.
As perhaps expected in the first match of the season for both clubs, a slow pace was established early.
Seven players in Tulsa’s Starting XI were making their club debut as Gavin’s crew settled in for its first 25 minutes of the new campaign. However, that slow start rapidly picked up with goals from both clubs within 80 seconds of one another.
The home side opened the scoring in the 26’ minute courtesy of Florian Valot. The midfielder for Miami received a yellow card early in the match and was nearly sent off minutes later following another late challenge against Moses Dyer, but the referee showed leniency and Valot took full advantage of the grace awarded to him.

Immediately after Miami found the back of the net, FC Tulsa responded with a goal of its own. Collin Fernandez unleashed a shot from 20 yards out that forced the Miami keeper to the ground, but the power behind Fernandez’s effort caused the ball to spill out of the keeper’s grasp. Forward Milo Yosef followed up the attempt, kept his composure, and smashed the ball between the posts to level things at 1-1.
Despite enjoying the majority of possession in the second half and outshooting Tulsa 10-3 over the final 45 minutes, Miami was unable to penetrate FC Tulsa’s backline for a second time.
Six critical saves from Michael Nelson, Tulsa’s newly-added goalkeeper via MLS loan, continued to leave 11 players in blue and orange scratching their heads, wondering how to beat the 6-foot, 3-inch man in frame.
Over the course of the match, FC Tulsa won 69% of its attempted tackles as the club earned a point on the road for its defensive efforts to kickstart the Blair Gavin era.
FC Tulsa is once again on the road for its second match of the 2023 next week to take on Birmingham Legion FC. The match will take place on Friday, March 17 at Protective Stadium with a 7 p.m. kick off.

(The Hill) – Author Judy Blume took aim at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for banning certain topics in schools and the state after some Florida school districts banned certain books from their shelves, including some of Blume’s own.
“Teachers are under fire, librarians are threatened,” Blume said at Variety‘s “Power of Women” luncheon on Tuesday. “They are criminalizing teachers and librarians. It’s not just that they’re threatening their jobs, they’re threatening them.”
“They could go to jail, all because they stand up for the rights of the students they teach. All because they refuse to give in to fear,” Blume continued. “I’ve known librarians who have saved lives by handing the right book to the right child at the right time. And for that one kid, finding themselves in a book can be a lifesaver.”
DeSantis proposed an expansion last month to the state’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which currently bans classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity to students in pre-K to third grade. An expansion of the bill would extend this prohibition on teaching similar topics to students in grades 4-12.
Some school districts in Florida have also banned books — including titles from Blume, James Patterson and Jodi Picoult — from their school libraries after DeSantis signed a bill requiring school libraries to seek the community input on the materials made available to children.
Blume is known for her books like “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret” and “Deenie,” published in the 1970s that have received some backlash for including topics about puberty and sexuality.
“I live in Key West — even though we like to pretend it’s not in Florida — we have the same governor,” Blume said, calling DeSantis “a governor who wants to control everything, starting with what kids can think, what they can know, what they can question, what they can learn, and now even what they can talk about.”
“We have a legislator who’s trying to put through a bill preventing girls in elementary school from talking about period,” she continued, adding “good luck there.”
Picoult also voiced her concerns about Florida’s book ban to the authors of an op-ed published by the The Washington Post last month after Martin County in Florida banned twenty of her books at once.
She said at the time that the books banned “include gay characters, and issues like racism, disability, abortion rights, gun control, and other topics that might make a kid think differently from their parents.” | 2023-04-05T12:09:25+00:00 | wcia.com | https://www.wcia.com/news/national/judy-blume-tears-into-florida-desantis-teachers-are-under-fire-librarians-are-threatened/ |
PARIS (AP) — The dull Paris weather did not dim the power of the French capital’s ready-to-wear shows continued Saturday, vibrantly spanning the restrained colors of minimalism to Renaissance exuberance.
Meanwhile, stars paid tribute to Vivienne Westwood at the house’s first Paris show since the British fashion icon’s death in December.
Here are some highlights of Paris Fashion Week fall-winter 2023-2024 collections:
ELIE SAAB SAYS IT WITH FLOWERS
Singers Ciara and Avril Lavigne negotiated crowds and slippery stone steps to get to the Palais de Tokyo, the venue for Elie Saab’s show. Inside, the Lebanese designer presented an ode to the bouquets of the Renaissance, with flowers blooming from every nook, cranny, seam and hem.
Tailored looks featured blossoming hydrangea embroidery above flared 1970s-style pants, as well as brooding dark prints in ruby and flashes of dazzling citrine.
The collection crescendoed passionately into the evening with Saab’s bread-and-butter va-va-voom silhouettes. Sheer mermaid gowns and dresses with sinuous three-dimensional florets glimmered with paillettes and tulle.
The best looks were figurative, such as a Asiatic pleated cummerbund that fanned out dramatically like opening petals.
STARS PAY TRIBUTE TO VIVIENNE WESTWOOD Saturday saw the first Paris show for Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood since the British fashion icon died in December, aged 81 – attracting the great and the good of the industry. (Kronthaler is Westwood’s widower and for years has been her fashion house’s creative heir.)
Speaking to Associated Press, front row guest Jared Leto called her death “heartbreaking,” saying that he was inspired by her spirit as a kid. “She was such a maverick and an iconoclast — in the best sense of those words.” The actor and musician added: “Anybody that’s ever put a safety pin in a shirt owes her a debt for encouraging us to think differently!”
Jean Paul Gaultier called her “the queen of English fashion.” “What she is, she put it in the clothes — and you could see her. You could see her impertinence, her rebellion and her way of playing with the structure of the clothes.” He added “I truly love her.”
Georgia May Jagger, model and daughter of rock legend Mick Jagger, called Westwood “a revolutionary.” Jagger also noted the British designer’s activism: “She made her fight for climate change at the forefront of her fashion. She’s a complete intellectual, someone that read a lot… that really educated everyone around her.”
HERMES’ FASHION AS CAMOUFLAGE
Hermes creative director Nadege Vanhee-Cybulski made a simple, but powerful, proposition for fall – creating each look in the same shade of color so it seemed to melt into itself, like camouflage.
“Just as a second skin exists beneath the surface of a tree, a bark like fabric, there is a dialogue constantly taking shape between materials, between colors, between details,” the fashion house said, poetically.
The one-color concept created a minimalist feeling even when the looks featured layering and details, such as long duffel-style coats in double-sided cashmere, zip-up coats in shiny lambskin, embroidery, belts, buckles and straps.
The first look, a loose textured double skirt dress, came in cognac red. It sported a hat reminiscent of equestrians styles – unsurprising given the house’s close association with show jumping.
The monochromatic musing continued throughout amid textural tensions – such as one sheeny red silk pleated skirt that contrasted chicly with the accompanying long suede boots.
COPERNI’S CANINE TALE
How to match Bella Hadid’s spray-on dress that became an instant viral hit last season and raised the brand profile?
Coperni designers Sebastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant went to the canine world for help — that is, the curious world of robo-dogs. Five Boston Dynamics cyber dogs each called Spot were the stars of the show, posing in various yoga positions for the Instagram-friendly snaps fashion insiders relish.
The tech and canine theme continued in the designs, which were predominantly made from recycled materials and were inspired by versions of “The Wolf and the Lamb,” a famous French fable.
The tale was retold as paintings on leather jackets. Sheaths were slashed as if clawed by a predator. Enveloping shawls were a take on “Little Red Riding Hood.” Fabulous feathered mini dresses looked like the wolf had raided the chicken pen.
A shaggy floor-length coat looked like the wolf had been skinned and given the Cruella de Vil treatment.
JAPAN’S FASHION FORWARD HEIR
Junya Watanabe, the protege of Comme des Garcons designer Rei Kawakubo, was in fine fashion forward form Saturday, continuing with his often-referenced theme of “Monozukuri.” It means “making of things” in Japanese and has now come to mean innovations in fashion production and using technology to make materials.
For fall, the talented Japanese designer went full-on utilitarian for a dark and aggressive display that used toggles, armor-like padded coats, ninja mouth coverings and black head gear that evoked the garb of combative sports such as fencing.
Braided hair was wrapped around the head and face like protection for a dramatic effect on the mistily lit runway.
Flashes of swirling color, including neon blue, nicely fused the themes of cycling and combat, while structured black leather coats with eyelets, straps, buckles and zippers merged biker gear with traditional Asian dress. | 2023-03-05T10:50:07+00:00 | everythinglubbock.com | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/entertainment-news/paris-fashion-week-spans-minimalism-and-renaissance-blooms/ |
ROCK HILL, S.C. (AP) — Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper’s real estate company has proposed to pay more than $82 million to creditors over an abandoned practice facility project in Rock Hill under a new plan proposed Thursday.
The plan would require approval from courts and creditors. The development of the Panthers’ state-of-the-art $800 million practice facility — which would have served as the team’s new headquarters — fell apart after highly-publicized disputes between Tepper and the City of Rock Hill and York County.
GT Real Estate Holdings, a Delaware limited liability company, announced it has filed a comprehensive plan of reorganization in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.
Under the terms of the plan, GTRE would resolve claims by paying $60.5 million in cash funded into a settlement trust for the benefit of contractors, subcontractors and general unsecured creditors, $21.1 million to York County and $20 million or more to the City of Rock Hill.
DT Sports Holding, LLC, a Tepper entity, previously funded $20 million in debtor-in-possession financing.
Tepper’s real estate company, GTRE, filled for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on June 2. York County announced a few days later it was suing Tepper for at least $21 million.
Among Tepper’s companies named in the York County lawsuit are DT Sports Holding, LLC, Appaloosa Management LP and Tepper Sports Holding, Inc. York County officials previously said they filed the lawsuit to protect the county and its taxpayers and recover damages caused by the defendants.
The complaint said Tepper and his companies took $21 million from a special penny sales tax intended to expand a road in York County and used the money for what the county’s lawyers called a “failed vanity project.”
Tepper is one of the NFL’s richest owners. He invested more than $175 million into the half-built practice facility, which is located about 25 miles south of the team’s current downtown stadium and headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, before construction shut down.
“This plan reflects GTRE’s promise to expeditiously resolve all claims and make payments to its creditors, including to York County and the City of Rock Hill,” according to a statement released by GT Real Estate Holdings. “GTRE now has a clear path to emerge from bankruptcy made possible by substantial commitments from DT Sports Holding, which has made available to GTRE more than $82 million in cash in an effort to bring this process to an orderly and equitable conclusion.
“GTRE believes that the plan is in the best interests of its creditors and anticipates that a hearing to consider approval of the plan will occur in October of this year.”
The Associated Press has reached out to officials for the City of Rock Hill and York County, but neither have responded to the proposed plan. | 2022-08-16T00:05:19+00:00 | myfox8.com | https://myfox8.com/sports/carolina-panthers/carolina-panthers-propose-to-pay-82-millions-over-failed-practice-facility/ |
Bill Allows Medicare to Negotiate Lower Drug Prices and Caps Out-of-Pocket Spending on Medications for Seniors
NEW YORK, Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Earlier today the House voted to pass the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, a bill that includes several key provisions to lower the prices of prescription drugs. AARP New York thanks Representatives Tom Suozzi (NY3), Kathleen Rice (NY4), Gregory Meeks (NY5), Grace Meng (NY6), Nydia Velazquez (NY7), Hakeem Jeffries (NY8), Yvette Clarke (NY9), Jerry Nadler (NY10), Carolyn Maloney (NY12), Adriano Espaillat (NY13), Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (NY14), Ritchie Torres (NY15), Jamaal Bowman (NY16), Mondaire Jones (NY17), Sean Patrick Maloney (NY18), Paul Tonko (NY20), Joe Morelle (NY25) and Brian Higgins (NY26) for supporting this critical legislation that will bring real relief for seniors. The bill now goes to President Biden for his signature.
The Inflation Reduction Act includes key AARP priorities that will go a long way to lower drug prices and out-of-pocket costs. AARP fought for provisions in the bill that will:
- Finally allow Medicare to negotiate the price of drugs
- Cap annual out-of-pocket prescription drug costs in Medicare Part D ($2,000 in 2025)
- Hold drug companies accountable when they increase drug prices faster than the rate of inflation, and
- Cap co-pays for insulin to no more than $35 per month in Medicare Part D.
Jo Ann Jenkins, AARP Chief Executive Officer, issued a statement reacting to the House vote:
"Today is a momentous day for older Americans. By passing the Inflation Reduction Act, Congress has made good on decades of promises to lower the price of prescription drugs. Seniors should never have to choose between paying for needed medicine or other necessities like food or rent, and tens of millions of adults in Medicare drug plans will soon have peace of mind knowing their out-of-pocket expenses are limited every year.
"Many people said this couldn't be done, but AARP isn't afraid of a hard fight. We kept up the pressure, and now, for the first time, Medicare will be able to negotiate with drug companies for lower prices, saving seniors money on their medications.
"I thank the House members whose votes today will bring real relief to millions of Americans, and I look forward to President Biden signing this bill into law."

Sunday marked the 50th anniversary of the legalization of abortion. While anti-abortion activists celebrated the fact that that decision was overturned recently, Vice President Kamala Harris announced a new memorandum from the White House seeking to protect access to medical abortion through the use of pills.
Medicated abortion access is seen as the next big battle in the fight for reproductive rights. This is not the morning-after pill that prevents a pregnancy from occurring, but rather a two-pill treatment that prevents a pregnancy from continuing weeks into the process and it accounts for half of all abortions in the U.S.
The New York Times’ Pam Belluck, who has been reporting on this, joins Here & Now‘s Robin Young for more on the battle building over these pills.

The National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) will be holding its annual food drive on Saturday, May 13.
You can donate simply by leaving non-perishable food items next to your mailbox before the mail is delivered on that day. Your postal carrier will collect the donation.
This is the 31st anniversary of the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.
The Foodbank of Santa Barbara County is one of the local agencies that will benefit from the food drive.
“There is no easier way to donate,” Lisa Skvarla, the Foodbank’s Chief People Officer, said in a press release. “Just leave the food in a sturdy bag by the mailbox. We’ll have volunteers at each post office ready to help unload the bags from our trusty postal carriers and get them on trucks to the warehouses.”
The Foodbank says it is most in need of nut butters, canned protein (such as tuna, chicken and salmon), whole grain cereals, pasta, canned pasta sauce, dried beans, canned beans, canned corn, healthy soups and stews, oatmeal, bouillon, olive oil and rice.
According to the NALC, the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive has collected more than 1.82 billion pounds of food since its inception.
The Foodbank hopes to collect 100,000 pounds of food during this year's drive. | 2023-05-07T15:44:43+00:00 | ksby.com | https://www.ksby.com/news/local-news/mail-carriers-to-collect-donations-during-stamp-out-hunger-food-drive |
A major winter storm is on the way this week for KELOLAND. A winter storm watch is in effect for the entire KELOLAND area starting tomorrow. The Sioux Falls area will see worsening conditions on Wednesday as strong winds and blowing snow gather strength Wednesday night into Thursday. We do expect blizzard conditions at times.
The chances of heavy snow are very high across much our KELOLAND region as you can see on the map below.
Futurecast will start with a mild, but windy day today. Colder air will push into eastern KELOLAND tonight, but a big contrast in temperatures will be in play tomorrow.
KELOLAND Weather online resources
The southwest will be in the 40s with rain showers, while the northeast stays in the teens with light to moderate snow. Most of the daytime accumulation of snow will stay north of a Buffalo-Pierre-Huron-Sioux Falls line on Tuesday.
The storm will expand from the southwest Wednesday as the main low pulls into the plains. Heavy snow is likely Wednesday night into Thursday. The snow will be much drier than the early January storm because temperatures and wind chills will be much colder. This will only make the blowing and drifting problem worse. We expect large areas of eastern SD, northwest IA, and central/southern MN will see blizzard or near blizzard conditions during that time period. The weather should improve late Thursday into Friday.
The wind will certainly play a big role in this storm. We think the gusty and sustained northeast winds on Wednesday into Wednesday night will be biggest problem East River as the snow is falling. Winds could easily gust 40-50mph in the areas shaded in orange and red.
Here is our latest snow forecast. Keep in mind the biggest numbers should be in SW MN due to the northeast wind buffering into the Buffalo Ridge. Some folks could get as much as 20″ of snow between Pipestone and Marshall. Even the numbers West River are pretty high, so plan on travel to become difficult if not impossible Wednesday into Thursday.
Here’s a quick look at the forecast.
The cold behind this storm could get worse than currently forecast by Friday. While we expect a milder and dry weekend, another storm may impact parts of the region early next week. | 2023-02-20T17:35:34+00:00 | keloland.com | https://www.keloland.com/weather/forecast/major-winter-storm-set-to-strike-keloland-this-week/ |

The President of the West African nation of Niger has been removed in a coup. President Mohamed Bazoum has been held hostage by his own guard at his residence since early Wednesday morning.

The NCAA Division I women’s basketball committee delivered its second and final preview of the top 16 seeds for the NCAA tournament on Thursday. The projected seeding included games played Wednesday.
The previous holder of the No. 4 overall seed, U-Conn., fell to No. 7 overall in Thursday’s reveal following a loss to St. John’s, the Huskies’ second Big East loss of the season. The last time the Huskies were seeded below the No. 5 overall spot in an NCAA tournament was before 2007. While the loss certainly factors into U-Conn.’s current placement, the Huskies’ inability to pass the eye test over the past two weeks may be the bigger contributing factor. U-Conn. has particularly struggled on offense, failing to reach 70 points in any of its last five games. The Huskies are now on a collision course with Big Ten regular season champion Indiana, which ranks second in the nation in points per play (per herhoopstats.com). The Huskies’ streak of 14 straight Final Fours could be in jeopardy if they can’t solve their offensive woes.
Hoosiers on the brink of program history?
Indiana might be the hottest team in the country right now. Since the last reveal, the Hoosiers have picked up three wins over teams currently in the committee’s top 16 (Iowa, Ohio State and Michigan) by an average margin of 16.3 points. Now the winners of 14 straight and the No. 2 overall seed, the Hoosiers have one loss on the season, a five-point road loss to Michigan State without star guard Grace Berger.
While Berger’s return has helped Indiana sustain its success this season, the play of senior forward Mackenzie Holmes has fueled it. Holmes is averaging 22.6 points per game and ranks second in the nation in field goal percentage, shooting an impressive 69.2 percent. The Hoosiers’ offense combines Holmes’s efficiency inside with three-level scorer Berger and freshman Yarden Garzon’s proficiency on the perimeter. Garzon is shooting 46.9 percent on three-pointers this season, which ranks third in the nation among players attempting at least four per game.
That trio could have what it takes to carry Indiana to its best finish in program history. The Hoosiers have never advanced past the Elite Eight, but they are poised for a Final Four run and look like the most likely candidate to challenge South Carolina for the national title.
Maryland and Virginia Tech peaking at the right time
The committee rewarded Maryland and Virginia Tech for their recent success. Two weeks ago, the Terrapins and Hokies came in as a No. 3 seed and a No. 4 seed, respectively. Both squads have moved up to the two-seed line.
The Terps made their climb on the heels of a 28-point victory over Iowa on Tuesday. As expected, Diamond Miller stood out with 16 points in the matchup. However, the depth of Maryland really shined in the win, with the bench contributing 43 of the Terps’ 96 points. The defensive effort to hold Caitlin Clark and Monika Czinano to just 7-for-18 shooting was among Maryland’s most impressive performances this season.
The Hokies have hit their stride late in ACC play, capturing wins over Florida State, Duke, North Carolina State and North Carolina in the past two weeks. While still in third place in the conference standings, Virginia Tech looks like the best team in the ACC right now. The driving force behind the Hokies’ recent success has been Elizabeth Kitley. The reigning ACC Player of the Year has posted double-doubles in five of her last six games.
Both teams are playing their best basketball of the season at a time when the grind of conference play is catching up with many of the nation’s other top teams. If they can carry that momentum into March, it would not be surprising to see Maryland or Virginia Tech among the four teams in Dallas on the final weekend of the season.
Bubble Watch
Just before the last top 16 seed reveal, it was Marquette making a statement in the Big East with a win over U-Conn. This week, St. John’s pulled off the 69-64 upset over the Huskies on the road. The win boosts St. John’s tournament résumé, placing it on the right side of the tournament bubble for now. The job is not done, but if the Red Storm can complete the sweep of its matchups with Georgetown and Providence to end the regular season, it should be dancing.
The outlook is less positive for Oregon, which could miss the NCAA tournament for the first time since Sabrina Ionescu arrived in Eugene in 2016. The Ducks are sitting just two games above .500 with 13 losses and had dropped seven straight games to torpedo their résumé. Oregon stopped the bleeding with a win over Arizona on Thursday, but unless Kelly Graves can lead his team to a deep Pac-12 tournament run, it’s unlikely that we’ll see the Ducks in the field on Selection Sunday.
Outside of the six major conferences, the odds for a two-bid Ivy League continue to increase. Columbia had already built a solid résumé for an at-large bid this season, but Princeton has now won 11-straight games to boost its NCAA tournament chances as well. If the Lions and Tigers both finish out the regular season as expected and meet in an Ivy League tournament final, we should see both in the field. | 2023-02-24T19:33:45+00:00 | washingtonpost.com | https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/02/24/uconn-ncaa-womens-tournament-bracketology/ |

CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Ten Oaks Group, a Charlotte-based family office specializing in corporate divestitures, has announced the successful sale of ASTECH Engineered Products. Established in 1947, ASTECH is the premier supplier of welded honeycomb metallic aerostructures to the global aerospace and defense industry. Under the strategic guidance of Ten Oaks Group and Executive Chairman David Richeson, ASTECH executed on the key carveout initiatives required to transform the business into a viable standalone operation following divestiture by its former corporate parent in 2022.
As part of its acquisition of the ASTECH business, the purchaser assumed ASTECH's existing customer contracts with ITP Aero, Northrop Grumman, Pratt & Whitney and Spirit AeroSystems and entered into a new long-term supply agreement with The Boeing Company. This strategic acquisition promises continuity and stability for ASTECH's customers and employees, who will continue to benefit from the substantial groundwork for the standalone business laid by Ten Oaks Group.
Ten Oaks Group is dedicated to identifying and acquiring non-core divisions of corporate sellers that no longer fit their parent company's corporate strategy. Following acquisition, Ten Oaks Group leverages its experienced team of operating partners to manage the transition and separation process and implement operational strategies that reveal and optimize the underlying potential of each business. Each company within Ten Oaks Group operates independently under its own dedicated management team and receives management support services from Ten Oaks Management, LLC.
Ten Oaks Group was founded by Matt Magan and Mike Hahn and has closed 24 carveout transactions across 10 countries since inception.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — As he watched a dozen or more unconscious partygoers carried out from a narrow backstreet packed with youngsters dressed like movie characters, an overwhelmed Ken Fallas couldn’t process what was happening.
Fallas, a Costa Rican architect who has worked in Seoul for the past eight years, said Saturday’s Halloween festivities at the city’s nightlife district of Itaewon were a long-awaited occasion to hang out with fellow expats following years of COVID-19 restrictions
Instead, the 32-year-old became a front-row witness to one of the most horrific disasters South Korea has seen.
The smartphone video Fallas took following the deadly crowd surge shows groups of Halloween revelers carrying out their unconscious peers, one after another, from an alley near Hamilton Hotel, passing by throngs of people dressed in capes and Miyazaki movie costumes. Some people are seen administrating CPR to injured people on the pavement while others shout for help above blaring dance music.
Fallas said police and emergency workers were constantly pleading with people to step up if they knew how to give CPR because they were overwhelmed by the large number of the injured laid out on the street.
“I saw a lot of (young) people laughing, but I don’t think they were (really) laughing because, you know, what’s funny?” Fallas said. “They were laughing because they were too scared. Because to be in front of a thing like that is not easy. Not everyone knows how to process that.”
Fallas said he and his friends were trapped among the huge throngs of people pushing toward the alley when police officers began breaking the lines from behind to approach the injured. He said people near his group didn’t initially know what was happening.
“We were we were unable to move back. The music was loud. Nobody knew what was happening. People were still partying with the emergency happening in front of us,” he said. “We were like, ‘What’s going on from here, where we can go?’ There was no exit.” | 2022-10-30T16:09:45+00:00 | sfgate.com | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Witness-recalls-harrowing-moment-of-Seoul-crowd-17545045.php |
MONTREAL, Oct. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - The Paper Excellence Group and Resolute Forest Products Inc. ("Resolute") (NYSE: RFP) (TSX: RFP) today announced their intention to sell Resolute's Thunder Bay pulp and paper mill to further facilitate the regulatory review process.
On July 6, the Paper Excellence Group through its wholly-owned subsidiary Domtar Corporation ("Domtar"), a global diversified manufacturer of pulp and specialty, printing, writing, and packaging papers, entered into an agreement with Resolute, a global forest products company, to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Resolute stock.
"Today's announcement is a clear demonstration of our commitment to timely complete the acquisition of Resolute," said Patrick Loulou, vice chair and chief strategy officer of the Paper Excellence Group.
"This is a very hard thing to do, but we believe it is necessary in order to accelerate our strategic combination with the Paper Excellence Group," stated Remi G. Lalonde, Resolute's president and chief executive officer. "The mill is an exceptional asset. I am confident that the dedicated and talented team in Thunder Bay will have a prosperous future with any company fortunate enough to have them as part of their organization."
Any sale of the Thunder Bay pulp and paper mill will be contingent upon closing of the announced acquisition of Resolute by Domtar, and to applicable regulatory approvals. The acquisition of Resolute by Domtar continues to be expected in the first half of 2023, following stockholder and regulatory approvals, and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, the receipt of which remain outstanding.
There can be no assurance that the required regulatory approvals will result from this process. Resolute and Domtar each reaffirm their general policy not to comment upon or respond to market rumor or speculation regarding the regulatory process or the transaction. Resolute and Domtar will not comment further on this matter unless and until definitive resolutions of the regulatory process are achieved.
Additional Information and Where to Find It

You could get a free flight if you adopt a kitten
(CNN) – Future pet owners looking to adopt a kitten can now do so and get a free flight.
Frontier Airlines is offering free flight vouchers to people who adopt one of three kittens from the Las Vegas Animal Foundation.
If an adopter steps up to take home “Delta” or “Spirit,” they’ll get two vouchers worth $250 a piece, totalling $500 “per pet parent.”
The person who adopts the kitten named “Frontier” will get four flight vouchers, totalling $1,000.
The vouchers are good to use through the end of 2023.
The Las Vegas-based nonprofit said the three kittens arrived at its facility near the end of December. They were only around a couple of weeks old.
The kittens will be adoption-ready once they hit six weeks old and weigh at least one and a half pounds.
Frontier Airlines said it was “delighted” the nonprofit gave one of the kittens its moniker.
The airline also said it’s thrilled to offer the extra incentive to help get the kittens adopted.

DANVILLE, Ill. (WCIA) — A man was sentenced to 13 years in prison after pleading guilty to gun and drug charges in Vermilion County.
Lerone Johnson was charged with unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon and delivery of a controlled substance. The charges stemmed from two separate crimes Johnson admitted to committing in 2019 and 2020.
In a press release, Vermilion County State’s Attorney Jacqueline Lacy said Danville Police responded to a shots-fired call at the Fair Oaks Housing Complex on June 29, 2019 and later determined Johnson was in possession of a gun. She also said that in August of 2020, Johnson was the subject of a narcotics investigation and was observed selling one gram of fentanyl by the Vermilion County Metropolitan Enforcement Group.
“We are thankful for the hard work of the Danville Police Department and VMEG for all their efforts taken in order to ensure dangerous drugs and guns are removed from our community,” Lacy said.
Upon release from prison, Johnson will have to serve one year of mandatory parole. | 2022-09-07T21:04:48+00:00 | wcia.com | https://www.wcia.com/news/man-sentenced-for-gun-drug-offenses/ |
OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – Could it be Oklahoma versus Natural Gas suppliers? Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond said legal action may be coming two years after the February winter storm of 2021, which sent utility prices soaring.
“It will be the most significant lawsuit filed by the state of Oklahoma in its history. We’re talking billions of dollars,” said AG Drummond.
On Tuesday, AG Drummond said he wants money back from companies he said profited off Winter Storm Uri.
In February of 2021, snow, ice, and brutal cold rocked Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas. You’ll remember cranking up the thermostat to keep warm.
State Corporation Commissioner, Kim David, said Oklahoma utility companies had to buy that gas for us at outrageous prices from middle-marketers or suppliers.
“It was like over $1,200 dollar per unit when it should’ve been $3,” said Commissioner David. “$4 billion is what the total cost for Winter Storm Uri and what happened on the Market…It’s insane.”
Now, everyday Oklahomans will be paying for the next 20-something years to recoup the costs.
“Our oil and gas industry is not to blame,” said AG Drummond. “Our utility companies are not to blame.”
In March, Commissioner David asked Drummond to investigate the suppliers.
“The magnitude of this scheme is staggering and unconscionable,” said Drummond.
“We do have entities such as natural gas marketers that appear, if you follow the data, it appears as though there was a short squeeze prior to Uri, in which the supply was restricted, when the demand was the greatest,” said the AG. “Most of the companies that manipulated the marketing price are outside of Oklahoma and some international companies.”
Now AG Drummond is asking outside law firms to join the fight.
“When the attorney general said this will be the biggest lawsuit in the history of Oklahoma, it absolutely will be,” said David.
“I can’t promise success, I can only promise my unabated, absolute commitment to the state of Oklahoma in pursuing this,” said Drummond.
“We appreciate Attorney General Drummond’s thorough review of possible market manipulation during Winter Storm Uri. We support any effort by the Attorney General to claw back costs charged to OG&E and its customers by any natural gas marketers who he finds exploited the situation and return those funds to customers. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission has found OG&E’s 2021 operations and costs from Winter Storm Uri to be reasonable and prudent. Uri was a once-in-a-generation winter storm, and we are proud that we preserved customer health and safety by keeping the heat and lights on. To protect our customers from natural gas price volatility to the extent we can, OG&E continues to source fuel at the lowest available cost for our customers.”
OG&E
“PSO commends the Attorney General’s commitment to investigating the practices of commodity marketers during winter storm Uri. We appreciate his diligence in deploying the expertise and authority of his office to investigate price spike concerns.
PSO
Our customers’ welfare was our priority throughout this crisis. We took decisive action to serve customers and had no role in setting prices. Despite the significant costs associated with our efforts, we acted promptly to address the needs of our customers and did not profit from those charges.
The team at PSO stands ready to provide the Attorney General with information that may be useful in his investigation.”
“It is important to note that utilities such as Oklahoma Natural Gas and others in Oklahoma are not the focus of the potential legal action. We will cooperate with the AG’s office throughout the investigation if requested. Oklahoma Natural Gas did everything we could to keep our customers warm and safe during Winter Storm Uri. As a reminder, Oklahoma Natural Gas secures the natural gas its customers need and delivers that gas to their homes and businesses. We do not set the price of natural gas nor profit from it.”
Oklahoma Natural Gas
News 4 also reached out to a number of suppliers, however only one replied.
“Once it became clear that natural gas supply and demand could be affected by Winter Storm Uri, Spire stayed committed to ensuring communities maintained access to the energy they needed to stay safe and warm, and to doing everything we could to minimize any impact to cost.
We work throughout the year to keep natural gas prices low for customers and appreciate the role government plays in this process – including our state and federal regulators and other elected officials – and look forward to any opportunity to review Uri’s impact.”
Spire Marketing
“Although I greatly appreciate the Attorney General’s willingness to investigate and perhaps even prosecute market manipulators who profited billions on the backs of Oklahoma utility customers, the A.G.’s efforts come two years late because the Oklahoma Corporation Commission refused to do its duty and protect ratepayers from fraud and market manipulation. Worse, the OCC attempted to protect the wrongdoers by approving an unnecessary multi-billion-dollar utility bailout called “securitization,” by obstructing my attempts to investigate fraud, market manipulation and other wrongdoing, and by covering up the mounting evidence of illegal conduct when it twice (by 2-1 votes) declared everything about the February 2021 Winter Storm costs “prudent” without lawfully investigating them.
“The consequences of this delay may prove very costly to the Attorney General’s pursuit of justice on behalf of ratepayers, especially if he is unable to clawback the $2.1 billion in utility bailout securitization interest and expenses that would never have been incurred if the fraud and market manipulation had been properly investigated by the OCC two years ago. (Adding that $2.1 billion in securitization interest and expenses to the $2.7 billion in fuel costs brought the ratepayers’ total price tag for the February 2021 Winter Storm to $4.8 billion. See my Dissent, Part I, Attachment A for a table showing the utilities’ 2021 fuel and securitization costs, including the winter storm, vs. 2020.)
“The Oklahoma Corporation Commission should immediately try to vacate its April approval vote in those 2021 Fuel Cost and Prudence Review cases for OG&E, ONG and PSO. Further, Commissioners Hiett, David and Murphy should apologize to the ratepayers of Oklahoma every time the parties the Attorney General accuses of wrongdoing try to use the OCC’s absurdly broad ‘prudent’ declarations to defend themselves.”
Bob Anthony, State Corporation CommissionerI am grateful to the Attorney General for his hard work on behalf of all those impacted by winter storm Uri and the resulting extraordinarily high natural gas costs utilities had to pay to suppliers in order to provide service.
The Attorney General’s allegations do not involve utilities, but instead target those companies that may have manipulated the natural gas market cost borne by utilities and eventually their customers.
I have always held with the prevailing legal opinion that the Attorney General and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) are the only parties with the legal authority to conduct such an investigation and prosecution.
It is important to note that Commission orders on fuel cost recovery from Uri require utilities to apply savings that result from future federal or legal actions to reduce customers’ bills.
I certainly concur with the Attorney General’s finding that there was no wrongdoing on the part of this Commission in its handling of the costs from winter storm Uri.

Young people who identify as LGBTQ+ were less likely to report symptoms of depression when they had general support from their parents, according to a study published Tuesday.
Previous research has examined parental support directly tied to a person's LGBTQ+ identity, but the study, which was published by the University of Texas at Austin researchers in the Child Development journal, asked LGBTQ+ youth to answer how often their parents did things like say how proud they were of them or assisted them with activities.
Participants were also asked if their parents exhibited any psychologically controlling behavior, such as asserting their beliefs as the correct ones, whether their caregivers were aware of their LGBTQ+ identity and what kind of thoughts and feelings they had been having in the last two weeks.
"Our research showed that those who felt greater social support from parents tended to have fewer depressive symptoms, whereas those who reported greater psychological control from parents had more depressive symptoms," said Amy McCurdy, a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Texas at Austin. "For youth whose parents did not know their LGBTQ identities, having a combination of high psychological control and high social support from parents was linked with greater depressive symptoms."
In a sample of 536 LGBTQ+ youth, ages 15 to 21, there were 252 men, 258 women and 26 people who identified differently from man or woman. A little over 35% of the participants identified as bisexual, 34% as gay, 20% as lesbian, 6.7% as questioning and 2.4% as both straight and transgender.
Researchers also examined other variables to reach their results, including race, age and whether or not participants received free or reduced-price lunch in school.
A 2021 survey of 9th- through 12th-graders by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 22% of LGBTQ+ teens reported experiencing sexual violence in the past year, and 52% of LGBTQ+ teens experienced poor mental health in the past year, with 1 in 5 saying they had attempted suicide during that period of time.

Bruce Sutter, Hall of Famer and Cy Young winner, dies at 69
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Bruce Sutter, a Hall of Fame reliever and the 1979 Cy Young winner, has died. He was 69.
Sutter was recently diagnosed with cancer and died Thursday night in hospice, surrounded by his family, one of Sutter’s three sons, Chad, told The Associated Press. The Baseball Hall of Fame said Bruce Sutter died in Cartersville, Georgia.
“All our father ever wanted to be remembered as was being a great teammate, but he was so much more than that,” it said. “He was also a great husband to our mother for 50 (years), he was a great father and grandfather and he was a great friend. His love and passion for the game of baseball can only be surpassed by his love and passion for his family.”
Sutter is considered one of the first pitchers to throw a split-finger fastball. The right-hander played 12 seasons in the major leagues, was a six-time All-Star and ended up with 300 saves over his career.
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said he was “deeply saddened” by the news.
“Bruce was the first pitcher to reach the Hall of Fame without starting a game, and he was one of the key figures who foreshadowed how the use of relievers would evolve,” Manfred said in a statement. “Bruce will be remembered as one of the best pitchers in the histories of two of our most historic franchises.”
Sutter debuted with the Chicago Cubs in 1976. The reliever won the Cy Young in 1979 in a season where he had 37 saves, 2.22 ERA and 110 strikeouts.
He joined the St. Louis Cardinals and played with them from 1981 to 1984. There, he won a World Series in 1982, ending Game 7 against the Brewers with a strikeout.
“Being a St Louis Cardinal was an honor he cherished deeply,” the Sutter family’s statement said. “To the Cardinals, his teammates and most importantly to the greatest fans in all of sports, we thank you for all of the love and support over the years.”
His last save, No. 300, came with the Atlanta Braves in 1988. Sutter was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2006.
“Bruce was a fan-favorite during his years in St. Louis and in the years to follow, and he will always be remembered for his 1982 World Series clinching save and signature split-fingered pitch,” Cardinals owner and CEO Bill DeWitt Jr. said in a statement. “He was a true pioneer in the game, changing the role of the late inning reliever.”
Sutter was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in January 1953. The Baseball Hall of Fame said in a release that he learned the split-finger fastball from a Cubs minor-league pitching instructor while recovering from surgery on his right elbow.
The Cardinals said Sutter is survived by his wife, three sons, a daughter-in-law and six grandkids.
“I feel like a brother passed away,” Hall of Famer Jim Kaat said. “I knew Bruce deeper than just about any other teammate. We spent a lot of time together, and as happens when your careers end, you go your separate ways. But we stayed in touch and considered each other great friends.”

Sky watchers will have an opportunity to take in a rare sight this month.
Five planets — Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Uranus and Mars — will align on the evening of March 28.
According to the astronomy app Star Walk, Jupiter and Mercury will be in the constellation Pisces. Venus will be above them, shining brightly in the constellation Aries.
Astronomers recommend using a strong pair of binoculars to see Uranus shining about two degrees from Venus.
Mars will reportedly join the show higher in the sky in the constellation Gemini.
The alignment is expected to be visible a couple days before and after March 28. However, the planets may not appear as bright on the surrounding days. | 2023-03-21T21:56:03+00:00 | abc15.com | https://www.abc15.com/news/national/when-youll-be-able-to-see-five-planets-align-in-the-night-sky |
(The Hill) – Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn (R) told reporters Wednesday it is his “personal belief” that if a 12-year-old girl is a victim of incest she should still be made to carry a resulting pregnancy to term.
“I believe that life begins at conception and every life is valuable. Those are my personal beliefs,” Gunn said.
A reporter then asked, “So that 12-year-old child molested by her father or uncle should carry that child to term?” to which Gunn replied, “That is my personal belief.”
A challenge to a Mississippi law banning abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy made its way to the Supreme Court, where it was upheld in a decision that overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling that guaranteed the right to abortion.
A separate state law passed in 2007 bans abortions outright if Roe were overturned, with exceptions for rape and instances when the mother’s life is at risk. The 15-week law does not include a rape exception, and neither law makes exceptions for incest.
The Mississippi Free Press reports that several GOP lawmakers want the rape exception eliminated from the trigger ban, which would mean abortions would only be allowed to save the life of the mother.
Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which challenged the 15-week ban, filed a lawsuit on Monday seeking to prevent Mississippi from activating its more expansive trigger ban.
In its lawsuit, the group argues that abortions are still protected in Mississippi by the state’s own constitution through a 1998 decision by the Mississippi Supreme Court.
The trigger ban was certified by Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch Monday. Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves (R) declared June “Sanctity of Life Month” on Wednesday in celebration of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.
Mississippi currently has the nation’s highest infant and fetal mortality rates, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as the lowest life expectancy in the country. | 2022-06-30T20:42:46+00:00 | cbs42.com | https://www.cbs42.com/news/politics/mississippi-house-speaker-says-12-year-old-incest-victims-should-continue-pregnancies-to-term/ |
York police are looking for a 15-year-old boy who has been missing from home for two months.
Kahwann Wilson was last seen April 21 in York, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Authorities said Wilson is 5 feet, 10 inches tall; about 160 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
Anyone with information on Wilson’s whereabouts should immediately call 911 or York City police at 717-840-2951.

Which metal cutting circular saw is best?
Whether you’re a full-time tradesman or a casual hobbyist, having a high-quality metal cutting circular saw is a useful addition to any workshop. As you’ve likely noticed, there are plenty of metal cutting circular saws on the market today, many from reputable brands and others from unknown manufacturers. Finding a saw that fits your budget and project needs is entirely feasible.

What to know before you buy a metal cutting circular saw
Metal type
Before you buy a metal cutting circular saw, consider what types of metal you intend to cut. Some saws that perform excellently on certain metals can chew up (or get chewed up by) other metals. High-speed saws — usually with 3,000 rotations per minute — are best for cutting hard metals like aluminum. Slow-speed saws are better for mild and softer steels. Many modern circular saws have speed options on their control panels to suit multiple metal types.
Blade
Even with the right saw, the wrong blade can be disastrous. An incorrect blade leads to wobbly cuts or burrs that can ruin a project or even damage a saw due to the vibrations — not to mention, inappropriate blades make cutting uncomfortably noisy. When tackling your metal cutting projects, ensure you have the correct circular saw blade for your metal type and saw.
Cut quality
The right metal cutting circular saw with the proper blade will cut straight lines every time, with minimal touch-ups or deburring necessary. Metal cuts are often essential on sensitive projects such as window manufacturing where there’s little forgiveness for mistakes. In cases like these, accuracy with the first cut is crucial to a successful project. Before you purchase a metal cutting circular saw, consider the cut quality your work demands.
What to look for in a quality metal cutting circular saw
Motor power capacity
The power capacity of your metal cutting circular saw’s motor is critical. To get through metal, a circular saw needs to have higher amps and volts, allowing it more cutting power. For harder metals, the revolutions per minute (RPM) will ideally be between 2,500-3,900. Anything higher means the blades operate too quickly, reducing precision ability, and anything much lower won’t be able to cut through hard metal.
Safety
All standard metal cutting circular saws will have appropriate safety features. Look for a clear lock-off lever that will prevent the saw from being powered on when not in use. Check the blade guards to ensure they are efficient and secured, both when the saw is in use and when it is not. Examine the motor housing to ensure it will help prevent your saw’s motor from overheating.
Grip
The handle or grip on your metal cutting circular saw is one of the most important features. A badly designed grip will limit the safety of your saw as well as the precision and cleanliness of cuts. Check the shape and position of the grip. See if it fits your hand and note how it feels when you use the saw. Go with something that’s comfortable and doesn’t cause unnecessary strain. The grip shouldn’t be slippery or too rough to cause discomfort while operating.
How much you can expect to spend on a metal cutting circular saw
The price range for a metal cutting circular saw varies widely. More affordable circle saws start around $80 while high-end professional saws can be over $7000, although you can find a high-quality saw in the $250-$450 range.
Metal cutting circular saw FAQ
Can you use my circular saw to cut metal?
A. Possibly. Assuming your saw has the right motor capacity, fitting it with the correct blade should allow it to handle metal cutting with ease.
Can you turn a metal-cutting circular-saw blade backward to cut metal?
A. While it may cut, this is a bad and dangerous idea. When operating backward, the saw tips are far more likely to break and fly off and the saw blade itself is more likely to shatter.

The city of Tulsa says it completed a "test excavation" on Thursday for more possible remains of people killed in the 1921 Race Massacre.
Originally scheduled for both Thursday and Friday, crews used heavy equipment in Oaklawn Cemetery near downtown Tulsa, where bodies of massacre victims could possibly be buried.
According to a statement Thursday, experts "stayed late in the evening" to avoid excessive heat during the day. A report on the results will be released "in the weeks ahead."
The city officially began looking for remains in 2018. This latest effort is preliminary to see if further excavations are warranted at the site.
On Thursday, the city posted an update to their '1921 Graves' Facebook page featuring Kary Stackelbeck, Oklahoma's state archaeologist. Stackelbeck said the current excavation is building on previous work.
"We did actually identify a relatively large geophysical anomaly with the ground-penetrating radar, measures approximately 4x6 meters. But in order to get a better sense of that, we wanted to take an intermediate step and just do some very basic test excavations," said Stackelbeck.
The test excavation comes on the heels of a Tulsa County judge dismissing a case last week from the few remaining massacre survivors seeking compensation from the state and city for participating in the killings.
As many as 300 Black Tulsans died when white rioters attacked Black Wall Street.

MANLIUS, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — An update to a past Q&A!
If you’ve driven through Manlius in the past week, you’ve likely noticed a fence is up and construction equipment now sits on the site where a Starbucks will be built.
Code and Zoning Enforcement Official, Mike Decker, with the Village of Manlius said a construction permit for the Starbucks was granted last week and site work has begun.
A three-phase development, known as Fayette Street PUD (Planned Unit Development) is slated for the general area of Fayette Street near the Highbridge Road split.
The development calls for a mixed-use project to include restaurants, retail, apartments and more.
The Starbucks and WellNow Urgent Care are in the first phase of the project. Decker said the developer would like to have the first phase completed by next March.
The group behind the project is Caliber Commercial Brokerage out of Rochester. The YS Team contacted the company for a construction timeline but did not hear back.
More on project from original story:
The second phase of the project calls for a three-story Craftsman style building that will have shops and restaurants on the first level and apartments on the above floors.
That building is slated to be built where the vacant Express Lincoln Mercury Sales now stands. The vacant building has often been described as an eyesore.
Decker said if the phase two building does not get built, there’s a contingency plan for the dealership building to still be demolished.
The third phase, proposes a two-story apartment building off Eureka and Park Drives, behind the CVS. | 2023-04-27T16:26:09+00:00 | localsyr.com | https://www.localsyr.com/news/your-stories/your-stories-qa-site-work-begins-on-manlius-starbucks/ |
Deputy killed in hit-and-run crash while investigating robbery: officials
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP) - A North Carolina sheriff’s deputy was killed in a hit-and-run crash while investigating a robbery early Friday morning, officials said.
Deputies with the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office were investigating a robbery at a Fayetteville business when the crash occurred, the sheriff’s office said in a news release.
As deputies returned from a canine track, one was hit by a vehicle as he was walking, officials said.
The driver of the vehicle left the scene but was found nearby.
The injured deputy was taken to a hospital, where he died, officials said. Officials identified the deputy who was killed as Deputy Oscar Yovani Bolanos-Anavisca Jr., 24.
Bolanos-Anavisca started his career with the sheriff’s office in November 2020. He was assigned to the “C” platoon and previously served as a school resource officer at Hope Mills Middle School.
The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation and the North Carolina State Highway Patrol are investigating.
Gov. Roy Cooper ordered all U.S. and North Carolina flags at state facilities to half-staff until sunset on Saturday.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Two anglers whose boat sank over the weekend in the Gulf of Mexico clung to an improvised float and fought off sharks while the third swam what felt like miles to search for help.
The swimmer, Phong Le, managed to find a cellphone signal, and sent a Google map of his location just before his battery died, he told ABC News on Tuesday.
The three men had been in the water since about 10 a.m. Saturday — the sharks showed up Sunday morning, Luan Nguyen said. One bit the front of his life vest.
“And I think that’s where I caught … these injuries on my hand,” he told the broadcaster, which identified the third boater as Son Nguyen.
“I took my two thumbs and jabbed him in the eyes, and he took off,” Luan Nguyen said.
Even as the two men were pulled from the water, they were being circled and harassed by four blacktip sharks measuring about 4 to 6 feet (1.2 to 1.8 meters) long, said Andrew Stone, a seaman in the Coast Guard boat crew that rescued the exhausted pair.
“They were too tired to even be panicking,” he told The Associated Press in an interview alongside other Coast Guard members and officials, none of whom referred to the boaters by name.
All three boaters were back home Tuesday, the Coast Guard said.
“These peoples’ will to survive and their lifejackets is what saved their lives,” said Lt. Katy Caraway, a helicopter co-pilot who rescued Le, who was suffering from hypothermia, and then flew all three to a New Orleans hospital.
She said that while her helicopter was pulling up Le, the man who swam for help, an airplane located the two who had to fight off sharks about a half-mile to a mile (0.8 to 1.6 kilometers) away. A Coast Guard boat based in Venice rushed to that spot.
Helicopter rescue swimmer Richard Hoefle said both boaters had deep cuts on their hands, and one was missing the tip of a middle finger.
In the hospital, he said, one man told him, “I was 100% certain my time was up” before he saw the aircraft that spotted them.
When the group’s 24-foot (7.3-meter) boat sank, it left them with no radio in an area without cellphone service.
“We made a distress call on the VHF radio to the Coast Guard and let them know that we’d taken on water,” Le told ABC. “And not even seconds after that, the boat was nearly halfway in the water.”
They tied two ice chests together as a makeshift float. One happened to hold water and fruit, Luan Nguyen told the network.
One man’s wife reported them missing about 10 p.m. Saturday, said Lt. Cmdr. Kevin Keefe, rescue coordinator for Sector New Orleans. The woman didn’t know their launch point, he said, and it took about 3.5 hours to find their vehicle in Venice, near Louisiana’s southeastern tip, so crews would know the best areas to search when dawn broke.
Le said that he swam off for help on Sunday. After swimming for what felt like miles, he got a signal on his cellphone and texted his Google map location to a friend.
“I see him trying to reply to me. And the phone cut off — I ran out of battery,” Le told the network.
A boater’s wife texted it to the Coast Guard, said Lt. Cmdr. Kevin Keefe, rescue coordinator for Sector New Orleans.
Coast Guard boats, planes and a helicopter had spent fruitless hours searching an area larger than Rhode Island.
Then the screenshot arrived.
Using coastal contours, the command center was able to figure out where it was, said Keefe.
The Coast Guard said the men were found about 25 miles off Empire, a small community located along the last narrow strip of the Mississippi Delta, southeast of New Orleans.
Le was rescued first. After the two shark-fighters were lifted into the helicopter, there was a lot of hugging, Hoefle said. Until then, he said, Le “had no idea if his friends were alive or dead.”
Once everyone was on the helicopter, the three Coast Guard crewmembers on the boat below could express their joy. “We were celebrating — whooping and hollering,” said Stone.
“I’d say this was a rescue for the books for all of us,” Caraway said.

Baseball’s most prized possession is its long memory.
In another profession, the legacy of a guy like Max Carey would evaporate as time passes.
In baseball, its best players — and even those with an instant of fame, like Don Larsen or Mark “The Bird” Fidrych — etch their names and feats into one of the most well-kept volumes of American history.
They give us fodder for arguments and comparisons, hashed out on bar stools, coffee-shop booths or social media posts.
They join statistical lists with names like Cobb, Mathewson, Ruth, Gehrig, Robinson, Paige, Gibson, Bench, Maddux, Griffey and Rivera.
Now, the city of Pittsburgh is remembering Carey, a born-and-raised Terre Hautean. The man who deftly handled center field and craftily stole bases for the Pirates, and led that club to its 1925 World Series championship, will be honored next month alongside some of baseball’s most revered players. They include Honus Wagner, Roberto Clemente, Willie Stargell and Josh Gibson.
Carey and those fellow greats are among 19 members of the inaugural Pittsburgh Pirates Hall of Fame class, a roster than includes four stars of the Pittsburgh Crawfords and Homestead Grays from the Negro Leagues.
They’ll all be honored in ceremonies on the Riverwalk outside PNC Park and on the field before the 2022 team plays visiting Toronto on Sept. 3.
Pittsburgh looms as large as Terre Haute in the Carey family history. Soon, Max’s grandson, great-granddaughter and great-great-grandchildren will all be living in the Steel City, where Max roamed center field for the Pirates from 1910 to ‘26 and where his son, Don, was born.
The news of Max’s selection for the new Pirates Hall and next month’s induction ceremony thrilled his grandson, Clif Carey.
“I want to be there,” the younger Carey said by phone Tuesday from Aurora, Colorado. Clif plans to retire as a University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine professor and will move with his wife to Pittsburgh in February. Clif’s daughter, Lisa Lohmueller, and her husband and their kids live in Pittsburgh. “That’s why we’re going there,” Clif said.
His grandfather broke into the majors with the Pirates more than a century ago. Yet, some of Max’s records still stand. He remains the Pirates’ all-time stolen base leader with 690. He retains the National League records for the most years leading the league in stolen bases with 10, and the most career steals of home plate with 33. The latter record may still be his a century from now.
“This is one record I doubt any National Leaguer will ever break in the future,” John Bennett, a Society for American Baseball Research historian, said Tuesday by email from Shelburne, Vermont. Bennett (no relation to this columnist) wrote a biography of Carey for the 2004 book “Deadball Stars of the National League,” written by SABR historians.
This is where those passionate comparisons of ballplayers from different eras of the game begin.
In Carey’s days, baserunners stole home plate more often than those of today, Bennett explained, but it was still a rarity. It was more common in the 1910s and ‘20s because steals of home often occurred as part of a “double steal” attempt with runners at first and third bases. As a pitcher began his windup, the runner at first would bolt for second base, trying to draw a throw from the catcher; the runner at third would take off for home as soon as the catcher threw to second.
“You really don’t see that play too much as a part of modern baseball,” Bennett said. “When it does happen, you just see catchers hold the ball and let the runners go to second [base].”
Regardless, given Carey’s base-stealing prowess, his National League record likely includes several straight steals of home. It’s the most exciting play in baseball. A runner at third takes off for home as the pitcher winds up, trying to surprise the catcher and slide under the tag.
Brooklyn Dodgers great Jackie Robinson stole home 15 times in his major league career, thrilling crowds with his craftiness and speed. Robinson undoubtedly would’ve threatened Carey’s record if baseball’s heinous color barrier hadn’t delayed the Dodgers star’s debut until age 28 in 1947.
Carey finished his career in Brooklyn, playing two seasons with the Robins, a generation before Robinson’s arrival in 1947. Carey took over as Brooklyn’s manager in 1932, and the club changed its nickname to the Dodgers. Later, Carey served as a manager and league president in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, made famous in the 1992 movie “A League of Their Own” and a new TV series by the same name beginning this month on Amazon Prime streaming.
In every role, Carey stood out for his smarts and mastery of the game as a hitter, fielder, baserunner, coach and front office executive.
“I see him as an innovator — a guy who figured out how the game was best played, and then did everything he could to maximize the skills that he had,” Bennett said.
Carey’s 1922 season epitomizes that assessment. He safely stole 51 bases in 53 attempts, an eye-popping 96% success rate. By comparison, baserunners overall were safe only 54% of the time that year.
Carey’s 20-season lifetime statistics included 738 steals (a NL record later broken by Cardinals Hall of Famer Lou Brock), a .285 batting average and 2,418 hits. Carey was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown in 1961. He died in 1972 at age 86 in Miami.
Born in Terre Haute on Jan. 11, 1890, Carey’s birth name was Maximillian George Carnarius. While still in college as a Lutheran seminary student, he changed his name to Carey to protect his amateur status while playing pro ball in South Bend. He kept the name, gave up the ministry and played ball.
He was selected for the Pirates’ new Hall of Fame by an internal committee for the club, team historian Jim Trdinich said by email Wednesday. The committee selected Carey and 18 others “because of their accomplishments, and the impact they had on the organization and our game,” Trdinich said.
All but three have passed away. But they’re remembered.

Harry Styles with a purse. Taylor Swift in gold. Steven Spielberg's love song to his late parents. After two years in the dark, with movie theaters shuttered and studios in existential struggle, the Toronto International Film Festival returned this week with a blockbuster, largely unmasked edition.
Structured as a sprawling public festival with sidebar industry meetings and critic-led buzz, Toronto has become the leading bellwether for the annual award season, where commerce and art converge. This year, though, as opposed to smaller, idiosyncratic and independent cinema that led the way through Covid, it was Hollywood studios and celebrity entourages that led the march back into sold-out cinemas.
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, The Woman King, and a major studio's first gay theatrical romcom Bros made their international debut in Toronto, with full casts in attendance and rapturous audience reactions. Jordan Peele introduced a special IMAX screening of Nope alongside cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema to help Universal launch an Oscar campaign for his summer extravaganza.
La La Land director Damien Chazelle took a break from the editing suite to debut the fever dream trailer for his 1920s Hollywood epic, Babylon. But nothing quite shifted the energy and excitement at this year's edition than Steven Spielberg's Toronto debut with The Fabelmans: a wistful, and deeply personal film about his parents' divorce and his filmmaking career as an irreplaceable avenue for catharsis.
Spielberg wasn't alone in his earnest ode to a medium facing a fragile and uncertain future. Hollywood and cinemas themselves are playing a starring role in several of this year's award-season films, in what at felt times like a collective industrial campaign to insist upon cinemas as sacred endangered spaces.
After his Bond films, Sam Mendes returned to his theatrical roots with Empire of Light, a portrait of a movie theatre manager in 1980s England played by Olivia Colman. The director assembled cinematographer Roger Deakins and composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross to create a distinctly big screen portrait of mental health, friendship, and cinema's power to inspire and heal.
Current viewing trends may prove otherwise but the studio pictures on screen were big, ambitious, and well-received examples of Hollywood polish.
Despite the festival's insistence on the triumphant return to red carpets and widescreen projection, certain fundamental shifts in the making and distribution of film are impossible to ignore. Streamers Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime threw some of this year's biggest soirees, as they came to Toronto with a roster of splashy documentaries and feature films - from Harry Styles as a closeted English police officer in Amazon's My Policeman to an extraordinary new documentary about Sidney Poitier called Sidney produced by Oprah Winfrey for Apple.
But the biggest coup was certainly Netflix's new Knives Out film, Glass Onion which features Daniel Craig's return as Inspector Benoit Blanc and an ensemble of would-be murderers including Kate Hudson, Ed Norton, and Janelle Monáe. It remains unclear if the film will receive an extended theatrical run before its Netflix premiere but it's bound to be one of the biggest international hits for the streamer when it debuts on December 23.
For cinephiles targeted by fall's more serious entertainments, some of this year's wintry dramas returned to classic award-season themes - war, political exile, repressed desires, and unresolved memories. Added to the mix in this post-Covid edition were several portraits of mental health, including Causeway with Jennifer Lawrence as a returning Afghanistan war veteran with invisible wounds - and Laura Dern and Hugh Jackman as parents of a depressed teenage son in The Son by the French filmmaker Florian Zeller.
Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Laura Poitras arrived in Toronto directly after winning this year's top prize at the Venice Film Festival for her film All The Beauty and the Bloodshed. It follows acclaimed photographer Nan Goldin's campaign against the Sackler family's institutional relationship with art museums, and is also an intimate portrait of opioid addiction and corporate malfeasance. It is provocative and powerful, and bound to be in contention for the year's best-of lists.
That said, in contrast to all of my previous festivals, this year there seemed to be less emphasis on award season prognostication and argumentative predictions. This was evident in the concurrent coverage of the Emmy Awards on Monday night as several critics took a pause from film screenings to write scathing reviews of the telecast and the Emmys' cultural relevance.
As for the Oscars – the ongoing stories of racial exclusion, nosediving ratings – not to mention this year's 'slap' - have damaged the Academy Awards as a unifying brand and pinnacle for film festival season. In conversations and coverage, there was less focus on likely frontrunners and inevitable Best Pictures. Instead, there was broad excitement for a wide-ranging and high-quality season of new films from across genres and cultures. Queer desire in Pakistan's first international breakout film Joyland debuted alongside the scathing social satire and Palme d'Or winner Triangle of Sadness from Swedish director Ruben Ostlund.
Above all, there was cautious hope that widescreen storytelling on a human scale can survive the onslaught of televised dragons and endless superhero sequels. If Toronto's annual empires of light were any indication, this fall there will be a feast of possibilities.

I-95 collapse: Truck driver involved in tanker crash identified by family
PHILADELPHIA - Family members have identified a man they say was driving a tanker truck that crashed and burst into flames, eventually leaving parts of I-95 completely destroyed Sunday morning.
Nathaniel Moody, 53, has been identified by family members as the driver of the truck.
Family members say officials informed them that human remains were recovered at the site of the crash and collapse, but they have not yet been positively identified.
Moody's family described him as a father and experienced driver with more than 10 years behind the wheel.
"He wanted to raise his girl to know what a good Dad was, to know what a hardworking Dad was," said Issac Moody. "He didn't drink, he didn't smoke, he damn-sure didn't use any drugs."
They say he was transporting fuel for a company in Pennsauken, New Jersey at the time of the crash.
"You just ask yourself, like, ‘Nate, what happened? Nate, what happened?’," Issac said. "Did he get cut off? Was there something down there that he had to swerve from? The one thing I can say is that he wasn't a careless driver."
According to Pennsylvania State Police, the truck was carrying 8,500 gallons of a gasoline when officials say it lost control on the Cottman Avenue off-ramp curve, overturned, crashed on its side and caught fire.
Extreme heat from the fire caused an overpass on the northbound side to completely collapse, while also compromising the southbound portion of the highway.
Crews recovered the trapped truck from under debris Monday morning, but no further details have been released regarding the crash as it remains under investigation.
No injuries have been reported to people on the interstate at the time, despite several videos showing cars driving past the fire prior to the collapse.
As officials continue to investigate the collapse, city, state and federal leaders are working to resolve major travel issues caused by the incident. | 2023-06-13T21:55:06+00:00 | fox6now.com | https://www.fox6now.com/news/truck-driver-identified-after-tanker-fire-causes-i-95-collapse-shut-down-in-philadelphia |

MOSCOW (AP) — A top Kremlin official warned the U.S. Wednesday that it could face the “wrath of God” if it pursues efforts to help establish an international tribunal to investigate Russia’s action in Ukraine, while the Russian lower house speaker urged Washington to remember that Alaska used to belong to Russia.
Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy secretary of Russia’s Security Council chaired by President Vladimir Putin, denounced the U.S. for what he described as its efforts to “spread chaos and destruction across the world for the sake of ‘true democracy.'”
“The entire U.S. history since the times of subjugation of the native Indian population represents a series of bloody wars,” Medvedev charged in a long diatribe on his Telegram channel, pointing out the U.S. nuclear bombing of Japan during World War II and the war in Vietnam. “Was anyone held responsible for those crimes? What tribunal condemned the sea of blood spilled by the U.S. there?”
Responding to the U.S.-backed calls for an international tribunal to prosecute the perceived war crimes by Russia in Ukraine, Medvedev rejected it as an attempt by the U.S. “to judge others while staying immune from any trial.”
“It won’t work with Russia, they know it well,” Medvedev concluded. “That’s why the rotten dogs of war are barking in such a disgusting way.”
“The U.S. and its useless stooges should remember the words of the Bible: Do not judge and you will not be judged … so that the great day of His wrath doesn’t come to their home one day,” Medvedev said, referring to the Apocalypse.
He noted that the “idea to punish a country with the largest nuclear potential is absurd and potentially creates the threat to mankind’s existence.”
The warning follows a series of tough statements from Putin and his officials that pointed at the Russian nuclear arsenals to warn the West against interfering with Moscow’s action in Ukraine.
Medvedev, who served as Russia’s president in 2008-2012 when Putin shifted into the prime minister’s post due to term limits, was widely seen by the West as more liberal compared with his mentor. In recent months, however, he has made remarks that have sounded much tougher than those issued by the most hawkish Kremlin officials.
In another blustery warning to the U.S., Vyacheslav Volodin. a longtime Putin aide who serves as the speaker of the lower house of parliament, warned Wednesday that Washington should remember that Alaska was part of Russia when it freezes Russian assets. Russia colonized Alaska and established several settlements there until the U.S. purchased it from Russia in 1867 for $7.2 million.
“When they attempt to appropriate our assets abroad, they should be aware that we also have something to claim back,” Volodin said during a meeting with lawmakers. | 2022-07-07T12:03:09+00:00 | siouxlandproud.com | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/international/putins-aide-warns-us-against-pressing-for-war-crimes-court/ |
LOS ANGELES, March 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Skyryse, bringing trust, safety, and accessibility of flight for all through its flagship technology, commemorates the sixth anniversary of the first lightweight unmanned vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) flight achieved on March 29, 2017. This aviation milestone has become a driving force in Skyryse's innovative approach to bringing the joy and freedom of aviation to all as it heads toward FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) certification.
Six years ago, Skyryse set out to develop a technology stack, making flying a general aviation aircraft simpler and safer. Founder and CEO Dr. Mark Groden and a team of four spent nearly a year working to earn FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) approval to fly an unmanned aircraft above 55 pounds (above typical drone weight). The team achieved the first lightweight unmanned flight within three months of their initial seed funding.
Building on the first unmanned flight, the company operated the highest volume, full-service, multimodal door-to-door air-taxi service in the world, leading to the development of the first cost-effective instrument flight rules (IFR) VTOL. Skyryse has grown from a team of four to nearly 100 with a similar objective of making flying simpler and more accessible, democratizing the skies.
Skyryse's intuitive, highly-automated, airframe-agnostic, and universal flight control system accelerates accessibility, safety, and overall ease of flight by decades. Anyone can complete an entire flight from skids up to set down with the same familiar tap-and-swipe gestures used on a mobile device.
"Celebrating this anniversary is a reminder of our humble beginnings and an extraordinary triumph in our company history," said Groden of Skyryse. "We continue to celebrate our early achievements to bring increased ease and safety to every flight across general aviation."
On average, there are more than 300 general aviation deaths each year in the United States, according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Most of these incidents occur due to loss of control or pilot error, an issue Skyryse and FlightOS address head-on. Skyryse FlightOS can reduce general aviation fatalities and allow anyone to enjoy the freedom of piloting an aircraft. Skyryse's FlightOS offers 10-9 safety standards (one-in-a-billion chance of catastrophic system failure) through a full fly-by-wire system with triply redundant, dissimilar architecture, increasing general aviation safety to commercial air transport levels.
FlightOS has already achieved 100% means of compliance for its full-stack technology solution after completing a major System Review with the FAA, including hardware, software, and human-factor components. This achievement accelerates the company's path toward certification, focusing on simplified vehicle enhancements of already certified airframes.
About Skyryse
Los Angeles-based Skyryse is bringing trust, safety, and the accessibility of flight for all through FlightOS, its easy and intuitive integrated flight control system. FlightOS removes many aircraft management complexities during standard flight operations, inclement weather, and emergencies.

The PGA Tour and European tour have agreed to work with Saudi backers of LIV Golf to decide how defectors to the rival league can return and what kind of punishment they should face, according to a framework agreement obtained by The Associated Press.
The agreement also said the for-profit company to be formed by the PGA Tour and the Saudis will be the “entity for professional golf” and that the tours will coexist with LIV Golf.
The framework agreement, signed on May 30, was among documents requested by Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., for a July 11 hearing in Washington. Blumenthal chairs the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
“Our goal is to uncover the facts about what went into the PGA Tour’s deal with the Saudi Public Investment Fund and what the Saudi takeover means for the future of this cherished American institution and our national interest,” Blumenthal said last week.
The PGA Tour has said it would participate, though it was not clear if Commissioner Jay Monahan would attend. He stepped away on June 13 — one week after the stunning deal was announced — for a “medical situation” and turned day-to-day operations over to two executives.
LIV Golf returns this week in Spain and at least finishes the 2023 season, if not beyond. The agreement says the PGA Tour and European tour “will work cooperatively and in good faith to establish a fair and objective process for any players who desire to re-apply for membership … and for determining fair criteria and terms of readmission consistent with each Tour’s disciplinary policies.”
The PGA Tour suspended players once they competed in a LIV event because they did not have releases required under the tour’s policy. The suspensions are believed to be at least through the 2024 season.
The AP previously reported on the assurances in the agreement that the tour would keep a controlling interest in the new commercial entity — known for now as “NewCo” — regardless of how much the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia contributes.
The framework agreement sent to Blumenthal is lacking details that all three sides are still trying to work out, such as the future of LIV Golf.
It did not mention how much the PIF planned to invest in the new entity. The PGA Tour and DP World Tour — the commercial name of the European tour — are contributing all their commercial businesses and rights. NewCo would be an umbrella for all future golf-related investments of the three groups.
NewCo is to conduct an “objective empirical data-driven evaluation of LIV and its prospects and potential” and assess the benefits of team golf and then decide “how best to integrate team golf into PGA Tour and DP World Tour events going forward,” the agreement says.
Monahan, as CEO of the new entity, would determine the plan and strategy of NewCo operations, which would include LIV.
The second paragraph of the six-page agreement referred to as the Saudi fund and two leading tours creating a global golf partnership and “unifying the game.” It later mentions the new entity’s plan to create financial returns, “including through targeted mergers and acquisitions to globalize the sport.”
The PGA Tour and European tour already have an alliance, and other tours such as Japan and South Africa have similar agreements. The Asian Tour is affiliated with LIV Golf.
The agreement also says the tours and the PIF would work together to try to get the Official World Golf Ranking to recognize LIV Golf, though that would be subject to OWGR criteria and the application that LIV filed last July. LIV fails to meet several criteria, in part because its events have no cuts and 48-man fields.
The PIF, along with investing in the new commercial entity, would make a financial investment as a “premier corporate sponsor” of the PGA Tour or European tour, invest in becoming a title sponsor on one of the tours and contribute to a program geared toward growing the game.
The PIF sponsors the Saudi International, which previously was part of the European tour.
The agreement also laid out a timeline to reach a definitive deal by Dec. 31. If it’s not done by then, the parties can agree to extend the deadline or go back to business as usual.
A key part of the agreement was to dismiss all litigation — the antitrust lawsuit against the PGA Tour and the tour’s countersuit against LIV Golf in which the PIF was a co-defendant. A federal judge in California dismissed those lawsuits last week.
The PGA Tour board has a previously scheduled meeting Tuesday in Detroit, though board members are not expected to take any actions because so many details have yet to be worked out. Also, the Justice Department is still examining the agreement, part of a review that began last summer shortly after LIV Golf launched.

AYDEN, N.C. (WNCT) — The holiday season can be hard for those in the military and their families. One organization in Eastern North Carolina aims to support those currently serving, one care package at a time.
N.C. Packs for Patriots is based in Ayden. Thanks to volunteers and donations from all over ENC, this organization can bring some Christmas cheer to military members.
“We call this the southern branch of the North Pole,” said Barbara Whitehead, founder of NC Packs for Patriots of her organization.
Whitehead said they are packing for a purpose.
“We are preparing Christmas for troops who are away from their families and friends and homes for Christmas,” Whitehurst said. “So we try to send a little touch and taste of the holidays to our troops who are serving away.”
Whitehead started N.C. Packs for Patriots in 2004.
“People don’t realize you’re standing within a two-hour drive of the largest bases for all five branches of the military,” Whitehead said.
The nonprofit first collects donations from businesses, churches and individuals from across Eastern North Carolina. Then, volunteers pack those donations to send to service members around the world.
“From the times that I’ve been overseas myself, to have these care packages come in, it makes it a little bit easier to be away from family, especially during the holidays,” said Damon Saxton, a chaplain at Fort Bragg.
What makes Packs 4 Patriots even more remarkable is that everything you see in this facility is donated. That includes what goes into the care packages just like toiletries or maybe some snacks for the troops. Most importantly are donations. The organization needs money to pay for postage to send out the care packages.
“Our Christmas packages alone will probably be about $8,000. And that’s just a one-month, four-week period,” Whitehead said.
People like Judy Dobler are volunteering their time, too.
“Even a small group of two people make a difference. We’ve been coming to N.C. Packs to help for about the last eight years,” Dobler said.
Besides supporting the troops, Dobler said Whitehead is a big reason she keeps coming back to help.
“She’s just one of a kind. We said she should write a book with what she’s been doing because it’s so meaningful to so many people,” Dobler said. | 2022-10-24T22:57:39+00:00 | pahomepage.com | https://www.pahomepage.com/news/veterans-voices/group-aims-to-bring-holiday-cheer-to-military/ |
Man mauled by bear in unprovoked attack; neighbors tried to help, authorities say
PRESCOTT, Ariz. (KPHO/Gray News) - Authorities in Arizona are investigating a deadly bear attack on Friday morning.
The Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office reports a Tucson man was killed in an unprovoked bear attack in the Groom Creek area, about 6 miles outside of Prescott.
According to the sheriff’s office, the man, identified as 66-year-old Steven Jackson, was sitting in a chair at his campsite just before 8 a.m. when the bear began mauling him.
Neighbors reported seeing Jackson struggle with the bear. They called 911 for help and made various noises in hopes of scaring the bear away. But it wasn’t enough to get the animal to stop, as reported by Arizona’s Family.
Deputies said the bear dragged the man about 75 yards and began eating him as the attack continued until a neighbor shot the animal.
When authorities arrived, they found both Jackson and the bear dead.
Jackson was reportedly in the area building a cabin. His family, who lives out of state, has been notified.
Arizona Game and Fish identified the bear as a black bear that was 6 to 10 years old.
Currently, authorities don’t believe there is a threat to the public. Sheriff David Rhodes emphasized that there were no reports of any wildlife in the community appearing aggressive, but the attack seemed predatory in nature.
Arizona’s Family reports that witnesses spotted the bear involved earlier in the area.
Officials said bear attacks are extremely uncommon in Arizona. The last deadly bear attack in the state was in 2011 involving a volunteer, Lana Hollingsworth, with the Gilbert Fire Department. She was mauled by a bear while walking her dog.

VIDEO: Rail workers stop train to rescue 3-year-old from tracks
TARRYTOWN, N.Y. (AP) — A railroad conductor in New York sprinted to scoop up a 3-year-old boy who had wandered dangerously close to the electrified third rail, officials said this week.
Engineer William Kennedy, who was operating a southbound train on April 6, was the first to spot the boy on Metro-North Railroad tracks near Tarrytown, north of New York City, and sent out an emergency radio message, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said in a news release.
“There’s a little kid north of you guys,” someone can be heard saying in a video released by the MTA, addressing the crew of an approaching northbound train.
The video shows the northbound train proceeding slowly until the crew can spot the child. Assistant conductor Marcus Higgins jumps down from the train, grabs the boy from a cover on top of the third rail and carries him to safety.
Meanwhile, the MTA said, two additional railroad employees on their way to help spotted the child’s sobbing mother and sister on a street corner. The family was reunited at the Tarrytown station. The video shows the mother hugging her child.
Metro-North President Catherine Rinaldi said the boy’s grateful mother told the railroad workers that her son is autistic and non-verbal.
“These fine team members embodied the qualities we want our employees to exhibit while on duty: alert, responsive, knowledgeable and helpful,” Rinaldi said.
Higgins added, “In the heat of the moment when you see a child in this situation, your first instinct is to make sure they’re safe. I’m glad our crew was there and able to help.”

How to keep your dog and other pets cool in the heat
Keeping cool in hot weather is challenging for humans. What about our pets? Here are a few tips.
What not to do
Don't walk your dog in the heat of midday. Dogs can struggle to keep cool in high temperatures and are vulnerable to overheating. This is because they can't sweat and rely on panting to cool their body temperature. Flat-faced breeds such as English or French bulldogs and pugs are at even greater risk, as they have a short muzzle that can make breathing difficult. Stick to early morning or late evening walks.
Never leave a dog, or any animal, in a car, trailer, conservatory or shed on a hot or even warm day. Being locked in a car for just a few minutes can be fatal to a pet.
Don't put hutches or cages in direct sunlight at any time of day. Rabbits and guinea pigs cannot sweat or pant to regulate their body temperature and cool down.
What to do
A tarmac test Place the palm of your hand on the ground for five seconds before taking a dog out for a walk. If it feels too hot for you, it's too hot for a dog's paws.
Make sure your pet has adequate shade. Provide extra shade to guinea pigs by covering the top of wire mesh runs with damp towels.
Give all pets constant access to fresh water. You can even put ice cubes in their water bowl.
Provide a cool place to rest. This can include damp towels to lie on, although don't place a damp towel over your dog as this can trap in heat.
Use sunscreen. Some breeds of cats and dogs, particularly those with lighter-colored or finer fur, may also benefit from sunscreens, especially on the ear tips, which are prone to sunburn.
"BVA (British Veterinary Association) recommends avoiding sunscreens with zinc oxide to avoid zinc toxicity. If pet-safe products are hard to find, hypoallergenic or baby human products may be suitable instead. It's a good idea to consult a vet to make sure you are applying the right sunscreen correctly and in the right place," Justine Shotton, the president of the British Veterinary Association, wrote on the association's website.
Watch out for early signs of heatstroke. In dogs, these include heavy panting, drooling, restlessness, bright red or very pale gums, and lack of coordination. Signs of heatstroke in rabbits include drooling, salivating, lethargy, short and shallow breaths, red and warm ears, wet nose and seizures.
If you suspect heatstroke or any other heat-related condition, take your pet to a cool, well-ventilated place. Give it small amounts of cool (not ice-cold) water to drink, and pour room temperature water over it to cool it down. Seek immediate advice from your vet.
Check sheds, greenhouses and summerhouses before closing them up. Cats like cozy spots but they risk getting too hot or dehydrated if they get trapped.
Groom your cat or dog regularly. Regular grooming in warmer weather can help brush away any dead or excess hair, leaving your cat or dog with a less thick coat, which will help them stay cool.
Stick to your dog's regular diet. Fruits like watermelon and blueberries are OK as a one-off treat, the British Veterinary Association said in response to a question from CNN, but rinds could be a choking risk.
"We would strictly advise against sharing ice cream or other human foods on grounds of pet and human health. Obesity is currently one of the biggest health issues that vets see in practice.

ROME (AP) — Former Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi, who has leukemia, is now stable after three weeks in the hospital being treated for a lung infection, his doctors reported Wednesday.
Berlusconi, who was initially admitted to the intensive care unit of Milan’s San Raffaele clinic, has responded well to treatment in recent days with his lungs recovering in an “optimal and convincing” way, Drs. Alberto Zangrillo and Fabio Ciceri said.
Berlusconi, 86, was hospitalized on April 5 for a lung infection. During his hospitalization, his doctors revealed publicly for the first time that the former three-time premier and media mogul has chronic leukemia.
He was moved out of the ICU and onto a regular ward April 16.
In past years, Berlusconi has also suffered serious heart problems, and in 2020 was admitted to the same hospital, in critical condition, for treatment of COVID-19.
Members of Berlusconi’s Forza Italia party have expressed hope in recent days that he might be well enough to participate, either in person or remotely, at a big party rally on May 5-6 in Milan.
Forza Italia, which Berlusconi created in the 1990s, is a junior partner in the right-wing government of Premier Giorgia Meloni. | 2023-04-26T22:05:03+00:00 | cenlanow.com | https://www.cenlanow.com/business/italys-berlusconi-recovering-in-optimal-convincing-way/ |
