Everything you need to know before you head to the polls.
WACO, Texas (KWTX) - Early voting for the November 8th, General Election begins Monday. With that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of resources so you’re prepared to hit the polls.

Every vote center has the capacity to offer curbside voting to individuals with mobility problems. A placard near each center will display a cell phone number that can be called to request assistance.
Sample ballots are available here. They are divided up by precinct number. If voters are unsure of their precinct, they can find them using the interactive map. Users can input their address to find everything they need to determine which of the sample ballots in right for them.

Sample ballots for McLennan County are available here.
Voting Reminders:
“A Voting Center is a unique place,” Bell County Elections Administrator Dr. Desi Roberts said. “There are some otherwise ordinary behaviors that people may not realize could get them in trouble within 100 feet of a polling site.”
Carrying a firearm is strictly prohibited in polling places.
“Obviously, in Texas we have a lot of citizens who practice Constitutional Carry,” Dr. Roberts said. “Normally, that law would allow them to carry a gun. However, we have laws related to elections that make it illegal to do so near a voting center.”
Section 46.03 of the Penal Code states that a person commits an offense if they carry a weapon on the premises of a polling place, either on election day or during early voting. Only Election Judges and law enforcement officers are exempt from this law.
The use of cell phones, cameras, tablets, laptops, sound recorders, or any other device that may be used to communicate wirelessly record sound or images is also prohibited within 100 feet of voting centers.
“We have gotten used to always having our phones out,” Dr. Roberts said, “and it’s understandable that some folks may want to use it as a reference and look up some races while they vote. However, you cannot have your phones or devices out in the polling place.”
Instead, Roberts encourages voters to do their research in advance, and know who they want to vote for before they ever enter the voting center.
“We publish a sample of every ballot in the county to our website,” Dr. Roberts said. “Voters can bring it paper notes or even print our and complete their sample ballot to use as a guide.”
Display of campaign materials is also carefully monitored. No political signs or literature related to a candidate, political party, or measure appearing on the ballot is allowed within 100 feet of the voting center. Critically, this rule can extend to political t-shirts or apparel. Individuals violating this policy may be asked by the presiding Elections Judge at the site to cover the offending apparel before entering the building.
“I know this could be frustrating for some voters,” Roberts said. “I would recommend that people avoid any apparel or signs containing political statements of any kind. That way, there is no risk of them getting confronted about it.”
Finally, don’t forget proof of identification. Under Texas law, voters who possess one of the seven acceptable forms of photo ID must present that ID at the polls when voting in person.
Here is a list of the acceptable forms of photo ID:
- Texas Driver License issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS)
- Texas Election Identification Certificate issued by DPS
- Texas Personal Identification Card issued by DPS
- Texas Handgun License issued by DPS
- United States Military Identification Card containing the person’s photograph
- United States Citizenship Certificate containing the person’s photograph
- United States Passport (book or card)
With the exception of the U.S. Citizenship Certificate, which does not expire, for voters aged 18-69, the acceptable form of photo identification may be expired no more than four years before being presented for voter qualification at the polling place. For voters aged 70 or older, the acceptable form of photo identification may be expired for any length of time if the identification is otherwise valid. Election Identification Certificates are available from DPS driver license offices during regular business hours.
If you do not possess one of the above, here is a list of the supporting forms of ID that can be presented:
- copy or original of a government document that shows the voter’s name and an address, including the voter’s voter registration certificate;
- copy of or original current utility bill;
- copy of or original bank statement;
- copy of or original government check;
- copy of or original paycheck; or
- copy of or original of (a) a certified domestic (from a U.S. state or territory) birth certificate or (b) a document confirming birth admissible in a court of law which establishes the voter’s identity (which may include a foreign birth document).
After presenting one of the forms of supporting ID listed above, the voter must execute a Reasonable Impediment Declaration.

Which self-stirring mugs are best?
If you’re a coffee drinker who adds creamer, sweetener, spices or other extras to your morning cup and you dislike using a new teaspoon each time to mix your drink, a self-stirring mug might be the best kitchen gadget for you. These reusable mugs stir everything together at the push of a button. A small stirring mechanism sits at the bottom of the self-stirring mug.
For more information, take a look at the entire buying guide on self-stirring mugs from BestReviews. Our top choice for a reliable and easy-to-use self-stirring mug is the Kare & Kind Self-Stirring Coffee Mug.
What to know before you buy a self-stirring mug
Size
Self-stirring mugs come with various capacities, generally ranging from 8 to 16 ounces. Mugs with higher-quality insulation take up more space because they have more insulated walls. The larger the mug, the less likely it will fit in average cup holders.
Durability
Self-stirring mugs vary in quality and durability based on the materials used. Since the mug includes a mechanical element, the stirring mechanism sometimes can fail. Self-stirring mugs primarily made of stainless steel are more resistant to breaking, rusting or failing.
Insulation
Insulation quality in self-stirring mugs depends on the materials and design. If you savor your hot beverage and want it to stay warm, choose a mug that is well-insulated with high-quality materials.
Power source
Either batteries or a USB port powers the stirring mechanism in self-stirring mugs. If your mug doesn’t come with the necessary batteries, factor those into your overall cost. You need to charge reusable batteries with a USB port, so keep the charging cable handy.
What to look for in a quality self-stirring mug
Materials
Self-stirring mugs use a combination of food-grade plastic and stainless steel. The more durable ones have more steel than plastic. Lids and battery compartments often are plastic or rubber for ease of use.
Design
Along with high-quality materials, look for a design that matches your personal preferences. There are many options available with different colors, patterns and shapes.
Stirring mechanism
These mugs usually have a simple push-button design to trigger the stirring mechanism. Some mugs have a magnetic stirring mechanism that is food-safe and removable for easy washing.
Lid
Most self-stirring mugs come with a plastic or rubber lid similar to a travel mug. The lid tightly seals to prevent spills and maintain the temperature of the drink. Lids usually have a locking port to drink out of for use on the road.
Handle
The button that powers the motor for the stirring mechanism usually is on the handle of the self-stirring mug. Look for a comfortable handle that is easy to hold and durable.
How much you can expect to spend on a self-stirring mug
Most self-stirring mugs cost between $12-$20, with less expensive and more expensive options available based on the quality of insulation, the type of power source and size.
Self-stirring mug FAQ
Are self-stirring mugs dishwasher-safe?
A. Generally, no. Check the manufacturer label or instructions for model-specific information. Otherwise, assume your self-stirring mug is not dishwasher-safe. Because they have a battery compartment and a motor, being immersed in water for long periods can harm these mugs.
Can I take a self-stirring mug with me when I travel?
A. Technically, yes. Self-stirring mugs often come with lids and are made of durable, travel-friendly materials. However, larger sizes may not fit in average cup holders. If you take them outdoors for camping or backpacking, add fresh batteries or bring along the accompanying USB charger and make sure you have a charging port so you can still stir your drinks on the go.

Moms report finding box cutters in McDonald’s Happy Meals in Detroit area
DETROIT (WXYZ) - Two mothers in the Detroit area are warning others after they say their children found box cutters in their McDonald’s Happy Meals instead of the usual fun toy.
Dawn Paret says her 7-year-old daughter found a bright yellow box cutter and a pen inside a Happy Meal box her husband and their girls picked up Sunday afternoon at a McDonald’s location in Warren.
“Anything could have happened, and that’s what’s scary,” Paret said. “She opened up the box looking for the toy, and he was getting the 2-year-old set up. She turned around, looked at him, held it out and said, ‘Dad, what is this?’”
Paret contacted police, who are now investigating. She’s thankful her children weren’t injured.
“I understand accidents happen. It’s just. ... I need to know how this happened exactly,” she said.
Mother Kayla Almashy was stunned to hear Paret’s story because just three weeks ago, she says she was in the drive-thru at a McDonald’s in Brighton when her daughter found a similar box cutter in her Happy Meal.
“My baby, like she always says, ‘Mama, will you open my toy?’ So, she went to give me the toy, and when I grabbed it, it was a box cutter,” Almashy said. “I was blown away.”
Both Almashy and Paret say they immediately reported what happened to management.
“I just wanted some type of explanation. But there was nothing that he could give me, other than he said, ‘Do you want a free apple pie or cookie?’” Almashy said.
“They basically just said that they have a catch-all box that’s a Happy Meal box, and someone must have just accidentally grabbed it,” Paret said.
These moms just want other parents to be aware.
“I just want to make sure that ... I understand, everyone makes mistakes. Of course, we’re all human. But I just want to know how and why that happened,” Paret said.
Almashy posted on Facebook, reminding other parents to check their kids’ meals.
“That’s why I brought it to Facebook, not to bash McDonald’s, but it was to bring other parents to be more aware to check their kids’ meals because I didn’t,” she said.
McDonald’s said in a statement Monday evening that it is investigating the alleged incidents.
“The safety of customers and employees is our top priority, and we take these claims seriously,” read the statement in part.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA/NEXSTAR) – The death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday launched “Operation Unicorn,” a contingency plan included in “Operation London Bridge” in the event that the Queen died in Scotland, not England.
Meticulous plans for the death, retirement or abdication of Britain’s longest-reigning monarch have been in the works for decades.
On Thursday, years of planning went into place after the Queen died at the age of 96 at Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, her private home and one of her favorite places. Leaked details from Operation Unicorn suggest that her coffin will rest at Balmoral before a lengthy procession by car to the Palace of Holyroodhouse two days after her death, The Guardian reports.
On the third day, the coffin is expected to be transported to St. Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh, where it will stay for 24 hours, according to The Independent.
The following day, the Queen’s coffin will begin the journey back to London — either via a five-hour trip on the royal train or by plane as part of “Operation Overstudy.”
Once back in London, “Operation London Bridge,” also known by its code name “London Bridge Is Down,” will take over, according to Politico.
Operation London Bridge was set up in the 1960s and was updated several times each year, ensuring a smooth transition of the throne to her eldest son, Prince Charles, who is now king. The plans included a list of procedures and announcements of her death, the 10-day period of official mourning, and the details of her state funeral.
Leaked details of the plan indicated that following Elizabeth’s death, her private secretary, Sir Christopher Geidt, would be the first official to convey the news, according to The Guardian. Geidt would then contact the prime minister over a secure telephone line using the code phrase “London Bridge.” If the prime minister was not awake, civil servants would say, “London Bridge is down.”
From there, the news would be communicated to 15 governments outside the U.K., where the Queen is the head of state and 36 other nations of the Commonwealth.
“For a time, she will be gone without our knowing it,” the Guardian report added. “The information will travel like the compressional wave ahead of an earthquake, detectable only by special equipment.”
The report stated that an announcement would be made to the Press Association and the rest of the world’s media simultaneously, but news of the Queen’s death Thursday first appeared on the Twitter account of the royal family, according to the New York Times.
The palace website was transformed into a somber, single-page announcement of her death at Balmoral. The page, black with white lettering and a vignetted portrait of the Queen, reads at the bottom, “The official website of the Royal Family is temporarily unavailable while appropriate changes are made.”
Parliamentary business was suspended immediately on Thursday to allow authorities to prepare for a funeral, which will take place in less than two weeks, the BBC reports. | 2022-09-08T22:05:48+00:00 | ksn.com | https://www.ksn.com/news/operation-unicorn-what-happens-after-the-queens-death-in-scotland/ |

Racial justice was at the forefront of President Biden’s agenda when he took office. Yet despite signing an executive order on advancing racial equity, critics say he’s made little progress since his election, including on voting rights and police reform, two major concerns for Black voters. He now faces a GOP House that is set to take a radically different position on such issues.
Still, the Biden Administration has seen some success in passing parts of its racial justice agenda.
Here’s where key aspects of the agenda stand:
Criminal justice reform
One of Biden’s major campaign pledges was to “strengthen America’s commitment to justice and reform our criminal justice system.” Part of that included reducing the number of incarcerated people.
Since 2021, Biden has pardoned only nine individuals for crimes ranging from possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine to second degree murder while armed.
But in October, he took another step forward by pardoning everyone convicted of simple possession of marijuana under federal law.
The American Civil Liberties Union reports Black Americans are nearly four times more likely than white Americans to be arrested for marijuana possession.
But the pardons didn’t release anyone from jail — there is no one in federal custody for simple possession of marijuana.
Still, for those who had a felony conviction, the pardon will restore civil rights, like voting, that had been stripped away. And while the pardon doesn’t erase the convictions from anyone’s record, it will make it easier for those convicted to apply for a job or try to rent an apartment.
But other key aspects of Biden’s criminal justice reform agenda have not passed: Marijuana remains illegal at the federal level and cash bail remains the standard for most states, though some have begun debating ending it.
Biden has also not established his promised Task Force on Prosecutorial Discretion. The task force would look at how decisions are made on when to charge someone and with what crimes, both of which vary widely across jurisdictions. Because of this, some individuals end up with longer sentences, parole or probation, while others might be forced into taking a plea deal.
White supremacy
Black voters have consistently identified racism as one of the top concerns they want to see addressed. Part of that includes having white supremacy declared a national security threat.
While this has not happened yet, Biden’s Jan. 20, 2021, executive order instructed the Department of Homeland Security to address white supremacists and other domestic terrorists.
The goal was to improve the federal government’s understanding of white supremacy, prevent groups from being mobilized and counter the use of the internet in recruiting domestic terrorists.
In a report soon after, the DHS identified white supremacists as the biggest terror threat to the United States.
“White supremacists will not have the last word and this venom and violence cannot be the story of our time,” Biden said at the United We Stand summit last September.
But white supremacist-perpetuated violence has persisted.
A white supremacist gunman attacked a supermarket in a predominantly Black area of Buffalo, New York, killing 10, in May last year. In June, 31 people affiliated with the white nationalist group Patriot Front were caught on their way to a Pride parade in Iowa.
Asian/Pacific American hate crimes
Misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic led to a rise in hate crimes against Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities. Attacks have been perpetuated against adults, students and AAPI businesses, according to Stop AAPI Hate.
Biden took steps to address the increase in hate crimes against Asian Americans in May 2021 when he signed the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Bill into law. The law aims to make reporting hate crimes at the local and state levels easier.
It also directs the Department of Justice to appoint a designated officer to expedite the review of hate crimes related to COVID-19. It would authorize grants to state and local governments to create programs for preventing and responding to hate crimes.
In their most recent data, Stop AAPI Hate reported more than 9,000 hate incidents against members of the AAPI community between March 19, 2020, and June 30, 2021. Verbal harassment and shunning were the top two types of hate incidents against AAPI members.
“We heard how too many Asian Americans have been waking up each morning this past year genuinely — genuinely — fearing for their safety just opening the door and walking down the street, and safety for their loved ones,” Biden said at the signing. “The moms and dads who, when they let their kids out the door to go to school, were worried.”
“For centuries, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders — diverse and vibrant communities — have helped build this nation only to be often stepped over, forgotten or ignored. You know, lived here for generations, but still considered, by some, the ‘other’ — the ‘other.’ It’s wrong. It’s simply — to use the phrase — it’s simply un-American.”
Racial wealth gap
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the impact of the racial wealth gap. During the pandemic, Black families were more likely than white families to face financial hardships and to have less access to resources, according to The Center for American Progress.
So, on the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa race massacre, an incident in which a thriving Black business community was destroyed as a mob of white people killed hundreds, Biden announced his administration would take action to address racial discrimination in the housing market, a huge win for Black communities that have faced widespread discrimination in housing appraisals.
According to a report by The New York Times, homes in majority white neighborhoods are appraised for $371,000 more than those in neighborhoods where the majority of residents are people of color — a 75 percent increase since 2013.
But Biden’s plan also announced using the federal government’s purchasing power to grow federal contracting with small businesses by 50 percent.
Meanwhile, Biden’s decision to forgive up to $20,000 in student loans was also a major step toward erasing the racial wealth gap.
About 24 percent of Black adults have federal student loan debt, compared to only 14 percent of white adults, according to CNBC + Acorn’s Invest in You Student Loan Survey.
On average, Black college graduates owe $7,400 more than their white peers when they graduate, according to the Brookings Institution. Four years after graduation, Black borrowers owe an average of $52,726, compared to $28,006 for white college graduates.
Still, advocates say upwards of $50,000 forgiveness is needed to truly begin addressing the racial wealth gap. And now, Biden’s loan forgiveness plan faces challenges before the Supreme Court. | 2023-01-21T14:54:58+00:00 | fox44news.com | https://www.fox44news.com/hill-politics/where-bidens-racial-justice-agenda-stands/ |
BEIJING (AP) — China’s imports and exports shrank in November under pressure from weakening global demand and anti-virus controls at home.
Exports sank 9% from a year ago to $296.1 billion, worsening from October’s 0.9% decline, customs data showed Wednesday. Imports fell 10.9% to $226.2 billion, down from the previous month’s 0.7% retreat in a sign of a deepening Chinese economic slowdown.
The country’s global trade surplus narrowed by 2.5% from a year earlier to $69.9 billion.
Trade had been forecast to weaken as global demand cooled following interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve and central banks in Europe and Asia to rein in surging inflation.
Chinese consumer demand has been hurt by a “zero-COVID” strategy that shuts down large sections of cities to contain virus outbreaks. That has disrupted business and confined millions of people to their homes for weeks at a time.
Consumer spending contracted in October and factory activity weakened as anti-virus controls following a rise in infections weighed on the economy.
Retail sales sank 0.5% compared with a year earlier, down from September’s 2.5% expansion, as millions of people were confined to their homes, government data showed Tuesday. Growth in factory output decelerated to 5% from the previous month’s 6.3%.
The performance was even weaker than expected by forecasters who said activity would cool as Chinese anti-virus controls and interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks weighed on global activity.
“November is shaping up to be even worse,” said Zichun Huang of Capital Economics in a report.
Chinese economic growth rebounded to 3.9% over a year earlier in the three months ending in September from the first half’s 2.2%, but economists say activity already was cooling. They have cut forecasts of annual growth to as low as 3%, which would be among the weakest in decades.
Exports to the United States fell 25.4% from a year earlier to $40.8 billion while imports of American goods sank 7.3% to $16.5 billion. The politically sensitive surplus with the United States narrowed by 34.1% to $24.3 billion.
Imports from Russia, mostly oil and gas, rose 28% from a year earlier to $10.5 billion. Exports to Russia gained 18.5% to $7.7 billion.
Washington, Europe and Japan are cutting purchases of Russian oil and gas to punish President Vladimir Putin’s government for its attack on Ukraine, but their sanctions don’t prevent China, India or other countries from buying its exports.
Beijing is buying more to take advantage of Russian discounts. That irks Washington and its allies by topping up the Kremlin’s cash flow. President Joe Biden has warned Xi against helping Putin evade sanctions.
Xi said in a letter to a business conference this month that China, one of the biggest buyers of Russian oil and gas, is ready to “forge closer partnership” with Moscow in energy, according to the official Xinhua News Agency. It gave no details. | 2022-12-07T20:02:08+00:00 | cbs4indy.com | https://cbs4indy.com/business/ap-business/ap-china-november-trade-sinks-under-virus-pressure-rate-hikes/ |
COMPTON, Calif. (AP) — The driver of a Tesla operating on autopilot must stand trial for a crash that killed two people in a Los Angeles suburb, a judge ruled Thursday.
There is enough evidence to try Kevin George Aziz Riad, 27, on two counts of vehicular manslaughter, a Los Angeles County judge said.
A judge ruled Thursday that a trial can proceed against a Tesla Model S driver in a 2019 crash that left two people dead in Gardena.
It is believed to be the first felony prosecution in the U.S. against a driver using a partially automated driving system.
Police said the Tesla Model S left a freeway and ran a red light in Gardena and was doing 74 mph (119 kph) when it smashed into a Honda Civic at an intersection on Dec. 29, 2019.
The crash killed Gilberto Alcazar Lopez, 40, of Rancho Dominguez and Maria Guadalupe Nieves-Lopez, 39, of Lynwood, who were in the Civic and were on their first date that night, relatives told the Orange County Register.
Riad and a woman in the Tesla were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
Prosecutors said the Tesla’s Autosteer and Traffic Aware Cruise Control were active. A Tesla engineer testified that sensors indicated Riad had a hand on the steering wheel but crash data showed no brakes were applied in the six minutes before the crash.
A police officer testified Thursday that several traffic signs warning motorists to slow down were posted near the end of the freeway.
Tesla has said that Autopilot and a more sophisticated “Full Self-Driving” system cannot drive themselves and that drivers must pay attention and be ready to react at anytime.
The misuse of Autopilot, which can control steering, speed and braking, has occurred on numerous occasions and is the subject of investigations by two federal agencies. The filing of charges in the California crash could serve notice to drivers who use systems like Autopilot that they cannot rely on them to control vehicles.
The criminal charges aren’t the first involving an automated driving system, but they are the first to involve a widely used driver technology. Authorities in Arizona filed a charge of negligent homicide in 2020 against a driver Uber had hired to take part in the testing of a fully autonomous vehicle on public roads. The Uber vehicle, an SUV with the human backup driver on board, struck and killed a pedestrian.
Meanwhile, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Wednesday confirmed that it had sent a special crash investigation team to determine whether a Tesla involved in a May 12 crash in Newport Beach that killed three people was operating on a partially automated driving system. | 2022-05-21T15:50:44+00:00 | siouxlandproud.com | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/tech-news/driver-must-stand-trial-for-deadly-tesla-crash-in-california/ |

Police name suspect in deadly attack at California church
LAGUNA WOODS, Calif. (AP) — A man opened fire during a lunch reception at a Southern California church, killing one person and wounding five older people before a pastor hit the gunman on the head with a chair and parishioners hog-tied him with electrical cords.
Jerry Chen had just stepped into the kitchen of the church’s fellowship hall around 1:30 p.m. Sunday when he heard the gunshots.
Chen, 72, a longtime member of the Irvine Taiwanese Presbyterian Church, which worships at Geneva Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods, peeked around the corner and saw others screaming, running and ducking under tables.
“I knew someone was shooting,” he said. “I was very, very scared. I ran out the kitchen door to call 9-1-1. "
Four of the five people wounded suffered critical gunshot injuries.
While a motive for the shooting was not immediately disclosed, investigators don’t believe the gunman lives in the community. David Chou, 68, of Las Vegas has been booked on investigation of one count of murder and five counts of attempted murder, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department tweeted. Jail records show Chou is being held on $1 million bail. It’s not immediately known whether he has a lawyer who can speak on his behalf.
Chen, who called 911 from the church’s parking lot, said he was in such a state of shock that he was unable to tell the operator his location.
“I had to ask someone else for the address,” he said.
Chen said a group of about 40 congregants had gathered in the fellowship hall for a luncheon after a morning service to welcome their former Pastor Billy Chang, who had served the church for 20 years and was a beloved and respected community member. Chang moved back to Taiwan two years ago. This was his first time back stateside, Chen said.
“Everyone had just finished lunch,” he said. “They were taking photos with Pastor Chang. I had just finished my lunch and went into the kitchen.”
That was when he heard the gunshots and ran out.
Soon afterward, Chen said he heard the details of what happened inside from others who came out. Fellow congregants told Chen that when the gunman stopped to reload, Chang hit him on the head with a chair while others moved quickly to grab his gun. They then subdued him and tied him up, Chen said.
“It was amazing how brave (Chang) and the others were,” he said. “This is just so sad. I never, ever thought something like this would happen in my church, in my community.”
Most of the church’s members are older, highly educated Taiwanese immigrants, Chen said.
“We’re mostly retirees, and the average age of our church is 80,” he said.
Orange County Undersheriff Jeff Hallock praised the parishioners’ quick work to detain the gunman.
“That group of churchgoers displayed what we believe is exceptional heroism and bravery in intervening to stop the suspect. They undoubtedly prevented additional injuries and fatalities,” Hallock said. “I think it’s safe to say that had people not intervened, it could have been much worse.”
The shooting came a day after an 18-year-old man shot and killed 10 people at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York.
Laguna Woods was built as a senior living community and later became a city. More than 80% of residents in the city of 18,000 people about 50 miles (80 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles are at least 65. The shooting was in an area with a cluster of houses of worship, including Catholic, Lutheran and Methodist churches and a Jewish synagogue.
The investigation was in its early stages, Hallock said. He said the many unanswered questions include whether the assailant attended the church service, if he was known to church members and how many shots were fired.
The majority of those inside the church at the time were believed to be of Taiwanese descent, said Carrie Braun, a sheriff’s spokesperson.
Those wounded by gunshots included four Asian men, ages 66, 75, 82 and 92, and an 86-year-old Asian woman, the sheriff’s department said. Authorities originally said only four of the five surviving victims had been shot.
The afternoon lunch reception was to honor a former pastor of the Taiwanese congregation, according to a statement from the Presbytery of Los Ranchos, a church administrative body.
“Please keep the leadership of the Taiwanese congregation and Geneva in your prayers as they care for the those traumatized by this shooting,” the presbytery’s Tom Cramer said in a statement on Facebook.
Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office said on Twitter that he was closely monitoring the situation.
“No one should have to fear going to their place of worship. Our thoughts are with the victims, community, and all those impacted by this tragic event,” the tweet said.
On its website, Geneva Presbyterian Church says its mission is “to remember, tell, and live the way of Jesus by being just, kind, and humble.”
“All are welcome here. Really, we mean that! … Geneva aspires to be an inclusive congregation worshipping, learning, connecting, giving and serving together.”
The deadliest shooting inside a church was in 2017 in Sutherland Springs, Texas. A gunman opened fire during a Sunday service at First Baptist Church and killed more than two dozen people.
In 2015, Dylann Roof fired dozens of bullets during the closing prayer of a 2015 Bible study session at Charleston’s Mother Emanuel AME Church in South Carolina. Nine members of the Black congregation were killed in the racist violence, and Roof became the first person in the U.S. sentenced to death for a federal hate crime. His appeal remains before the Supreme Court.

Golden Superfood Bliss is a powdered supplement that helps consumers control their emotional eating while dealing with sugar cravings and keeping hunger from overwhelming the user. The formula is made by Earth Echo and is available as either a one-time purchase or part of a subscription.
What is Golden Superfood Bliss?
Anyone who has struggled with weight loss understands the willpower needed to diet. The whole point of a diet is to help users consume less of the foods that cause their weight gain, which typically means they need to go into a calorie deficit. Rather than struggling to find a diet that doesn’t make the user feel deprived, they might benefit from the support advertised by Golden Superfood Bliss.
With Golden Superfood Bliss, consumers can contain the emotional eating that is often the culprit behind weight gain. Many of the ingredients focus on reducing stress, which triggers the production of cortisol. The body naturally regulates stress by signaling the brain that it needs something to increase serotonin, which is why it triggers the appetite. The body naturally wants to enjoy food, which is why dieting is so hard. However, using Golden Superfood Bliss helps to take away this trigger, making it easy to focus on the correct type of eating.
What’s Inside Golden Superfood Bliss?
The Golden Superfood Bliss works due to the right blend of ingredients, which include:
- Coconut milk
- Turmeric root
- Amla fruit
- Cinnamon bark powder
- Ginger root
- Cardamom seed
- Ashwagandha root
- Black pepper
- MCT oil
- Stevia leaf
- Mushroom blend
All of these contribute to improving stress response and lowering appetite. Please read below to learn more about their benefits.
Coconut Milk
Coconut milk helps to promote weight loss. It keeps electrolytes balanced, and the vitamins and minerals inside are an excellent source of support for the immune system. It even reduces inflammation with the plentiful antioxidants and helps users’ risk of heart disease.
Turmeric Root
Turmeric root is often used for reducing inflammation, especially in the joints. However, it also supports the heart and reduces symptoms often associated with depression and other mental illnesses.
Amla Fruit
Amla, also called Indian gooseberry, provides users with an incredible amount of vitamin C. It supports immune function, and it can improve heart health.
Cinnamon Bark Powder
Cinnamon bark is often associated with lower blood sugar levels. Studies prove it can reduce appetite and contains a chemical that acts the same way as insulin does. Studies show that the oils in the bark can also help with flatulence and spasms.
Ginger Root
Ginger root is a common remedy for nausea, but it can do much more. Like turmeric, ginger is often associated with reduced inflammation, supporting healthier digestion simultaneously.
Cardamom Seed
Cardamom is an herb found in many natural medicines. It is rich in antioxidants, helping the body purge toxins and free radicals that can halt weight loss. It is often associated with weight loss and reduced blood pressure, though it can also support the respiratory system with better breathing.
Ashwagandha Root
Ashwagandha is an adaptogen, which means that it helps users to reduce stress. By reducing stress, users reduce their appetite, leading to a natural calorie deficit that won’t make them feel constant hunger.
Black Pepper
Black pepper increases the effectiveness and survivability of various ingredients, ensuring users get the best results possible.
MCT Oil
MCT oil has many benefits for the body, but one of the leading reasons users include it in their routine is for weight loss support. Users digest MCT oil and produce ketones that force the body to use stored fat as their energy source. It is also linked to improved heart health, cognition, and gut balance.
Stevia Leaf
Stevia is typically used as a safe alternative to sugar. It improves the sweetness of Golden Superfood Bliss without the risk of extra calories or spiking blood sugar levels.
Mushroom Blend
The mushroom blend includes Reishi, shiitake, maitake, and lion’s mane mushrooms. Mushrooms have consistently been a reliable source of fiber and protein, though they also reduce the user’s risk of many health conditions (like heart disease or cancer). They have incredibly high concentrations of selenium, an essential mineral for the human body.
Buying a One-Month Supply of Golden Superfood Bliss
Each bag offers enough Golden Superfood Bliss powder to last through a month of servings, assuming the customer only uses one serving daily. The current Golden Superfood Bliss packages available through the official website include:

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — An election recount confirmed a staunchly pro-Russia Bosnian Serb leader’s victory over an opposition challenger who accused him of vote-rigging in the contest for the presidency of Bosnia’s Serb-run part.
Bosnia’s top electoral body announced Thursday the recount showed the contested Oct 2. election was won by Bosnian Serb hardliner Milorad Dodik. The Central Election Commission said the repeated count revealed numerous irregularities it had notified judicial authorities about but that none were on a level that would have changed the outcome of the vote.
The election included races for all levels of government in the Balkan country’s Serb-dominated and Bosniak-Croat parts, as well as for the joint central institutions that link the two.
Dodik declared victory shortly after polling stations closed, but his main contender, Jelena Trivic, insisted the vote was rigged and claimed she was the winner.
Dodik has been practically unchallenged as Bosnia’s top Serb leader for over a decade despite being sanctioned by the West for corruption. He advocates the separation of Bosnia’s Serb-run part, Republika Srpska, from the rest of the country and having it become part of neighbouring Serbia.
He used the election campaign to champion his secessionist agenda and his close ties with Russia. In September, he traveled to Moscow to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin and secure his explicit endorsement.
Dodik’s increasing anti-Western rhetoric has raised fears in Europe and the United States that the Kremlin might use him to create further instability in volatile Bosnia to avert some attention from its war in Ukraine.
Separatist ambitions among ethnic Serbs sparked Bosnia’s devastating 1992-95 war, which killed more than 100,000 people, displaced millions and shattered the country for years to come. A U.S.-brokered peace agreement that ended the war created the Serb and Bosniak-Croat entities, tied loosely by joint, multi-ethnic institutions. | 2022-10-28T00:15:41+00:00 | cenlanow.com | https://www.cenlanow.com/international/ap-international/ap-bosnia-recount-confirms-pro-russia-serb-leader-won-election/ |
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Dec. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- During its first annual "Giving Tuesday" luncheon, the PACU Foundation gifted a total of $18,000 to six charities to increase their capacity to help North Carolina residents in times of financial hardship.
Held nationally on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, "Giving Tuesday" is a global movement started in 2012 to encourage people to do good. "As such, we felt that starting an annual tradition of hosting a 'Giving Tuesday' luncheon to celebrate our supported charities would be a fitting tribute to the spirit of giving back," said PACU Foundation President Jean Golden-Rumer.
The PACU Foundation's ability to contribute these funds is due to the generosity and volunteer efforts of employees and members of Piedmont Advantage Credit Union. "In 2022, more than 70 percent of the credit union's employees donated to the Foundation," Golden-Rumer added.
The following charities were celebrated on Giving Tuesday, Nov. 29, and presented each with $3,000:
- Bright Blessings: Emergency assistance to in-need children in partnership with K-12 school system
- Community Link: Financial literacy and monetary assistance for residents facing homelessness, foreclosure or eviction
- Financial Pathways: Financial literacy classes to residents who struggle with job loss and low wages
- Gold Shield Foundation of North Carolina: Support for families of fallen or critically injured police officers and firefighters
- Help Inc.: Financial safety resources to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, elder abuse and human trafficking
- Winston-Salem Rescue Mission: Financial classes for residents who are homeless and suffering from addiction
Adding to the spirit of giving back, lunch was provided by Delicious, a nonprofit Winston-Salem caterer, who employs refugee women from Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Sudan and other countries in the Middle East and Africa, to use their cooking talents to introduce to the area homecooked, professionally-prepared meals from their native lands. Lunch was a big hit among attendees.
Since forming in 2020, the PACU Foundation has gifted $45,000 to area charities.
A 501(c)(3) charitable organization, the PACU Foundation advances charitable giving to support access to financial literacy, education and training and disaster and emergency assistance for residents overcoming financial hardship throughout the Triad and Charlotte communities.

Family says 12-year-old son died after getting the flu: ‘Our sweet angel was called home’
SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich. (Gray News) - A family says they are going through an awful time after losing their child to the flu.
The DeBord family said their 12-year-old son Anthony first got sick with parainfluenza and was sent to urgent care with shortness of breath. He was treated with a nebulizer and given prescriptions for an inhaler and steroids before being sent home to rest.
However, Anthony has mild asthma and, after returning home, his family said he had an acute and catastrophic asthmatic attack due to the flu.
Anthony was without a heartbeat for nearly 20 minutes and ended up suffering a severe brain injury, according to the family.
Andrea Swiatek, Anthony’s aunt, said she started a GoFundMe on behalf of the family to help with medical expenses during the difficult time, but the 12-year-old ended up dying.
Swiatek said Anthony was wise and kind beyond his years, saying he would always go out of his way to do something special for his family.
Anthony’s aunt said she was hoping he would get his miracle. However, Anthony died on Nov. 4.
“Unfortunately, our sweet Angel was called home,” the DeBord family shared online.
The family said they laid Anthony to rest on Nov. 14 and thanked everyone for their support, as the GoFundMe account has currently raised more than $140,000 with a goal initially started for $5,000.
“THANK YOU to all of you who have contributed to Anthony’s honor. We are beyond grateful for your support and generosity. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts,” the DeBord family shared.
The family said Anthony will continue to make a difference by donating his organs, and the extra funds collected will be designated to a nonprofit in his name.
“We can keep Anthony alive through the kind acts we do for one another. Our purpose is to give back to the community and world that has so graciously walked this journey with us,” the DeBord family shared.

Even though some words aren’t defined as racial epithets per se, you can still find yourself in serious trouble for using them in the wrong context or if said by the wrong person. Calling someone “ghetto” can be troubling regardless of the mouth it’s coming out of, particularly when a white person uses it about a person of color.
A Michigan councilwoman became the latest example during a recent committee meeting after other members described her actions as unprofessional and offensive for referring to a Black colleague as “ghetto” under her breath. According to MLive, Flint’s Ninth Ward Councilwoman Eva Worthing made the comment last week after allegedly feeling “threatened” by comments made by Fifth Ward Councilwoman Jerri Winfrey-Carter.
For reference, Worthing is white and Winfrey-Carter is Black. The outlet reported that Sixth Ward Councilwoman Tonya Burns initially caught wind of the comment and decided to repeat it, adding, “To say ghetto and to say it so easily and to laugh about it, that disturbs me.” Burns elaborated by commenting further, “That’s just wrong … You teach children, and you’re comfortable saying ‘ghetto’?”
Worthing issued a half-hearted apology in a now-deleted Facebook post, calling it a “knee-jerk reaction.” She also insisted that calling someone ghetto isn’t inherently racist.
‘No one can tell ME how I used that term but me and it is NOT a term that is inherently racist,’ the statement says. ‘I normally do not use language like that in the first place. I am angry at myself … I wish I had handled this better. I am very hard on myself. I’m still upset about it today. However, this one moment does not define me. I will continue to work hard for the residents of my ward.’”
As reported by the Detroit News, Worthing tried to pull the reverse racism card, alleging that she has been called a “nasty white woman” repeatedly and sidestepped her own actions. The outlet quoted Worthing as saying it was just frustration, and she was surprised the word even came out of her mouth.
The initial comment derived from a disagreement in how appointed leader Winfrey-Carter was conducting the meeting. Worthing felt aggravated that her colleague “refused to ask [Flint] city clerk how to properly chair the meeting.”
Other council members told the Detroit Metro Times that this was not a surprising move on Worthing’s part, noting that she and former councilmember Allan Griggs have made derogatory comments in the past. Councilman Eric Mays, who is Black, told the outlet the council might need an agenda item to address matters of race.
Regardless of how you feel in any heated situation, name-calling is never the answer.

BRUSSELS – European Union antitrust regulators took aim at Google's lucrative digital advertising business in an unprecedented decision, saying Wednesday that the tech giant must sell off some of its ad business to address competition concerns.
The European Commission, the bloc's executive branch and top antitrust enforcer, said its preliminary view after an investigation is that “only the mandatory divestment by Google of part of its services” would satisfy the concerns.
The 27-nation EU has led the global movement to crack down on Big Tech companies — including groundbreaking rules on artificial intelligence — but it has previously relied on issuing blockbuster fines, including three antitrust penalties for Google worth billions of euros (dollars).
It's the first time the bloc has told a tech giant that it must split up key parts of its business over violations of the EU's strict antitrust laws, though details on what that would look like have not been released.
Google can now defend itself by making its case before the commission issues its final decision. The company said it disagreed with the finding and “will respond accordingly,” with the EU’s investigation focusing on a narrow part of its ad business.
“Our advertising technology tools help websites and apps fund their content, and enable businesses of all sizes to effectively reach new customers," said Dan Taylor, Google vice president of global ads. "Google remains committed to creating value for our publisher and advertiser partners in this highly competitive sector."
The commission's decision stems from a formal investigation that it opened in June 2021, looking into whether Google violated the bloc’s competition rules by favoring its own online display advertising technology services at the expense of rival publishers, advertisers and advertising technology services.
European Commission Vice President Margrethe Vestager says Google is dominant on both sides of the ad-selling market. Google abused that position by favoring its own ad exchange, reinforcing its ability to charge a high fee for its services, the commission said.
“Google is representing the interests of both buyers and sellers. And at the same time, Google is setting the rules on how demand and supply should meet,” she said at a news conference." This gives rise to inherent and pervasive conflicts of interest.”
YouTube was one focus of the commission's investigation, which looked into whether Google was using the video sharing site’s dominant position to favor its own ad-buying services by imposing restrictions on rivals.
Google's ad tech business is also under investigation by Britain's antitrust watchdog and faces litigation in the U.S.
Brussels has previously hit Google with more than 8 billion euros (now $8.6 billion) worth of fines in three separate antitrust cases, involving its Android mobile operating system and shopping and search advertising services.
The company is appealing all three penalties. An EU court last year slightly reduced the Android penalty to 4.125 million euros. EU regulators have the power to impose penalties worth up to 10% of a company’s annual revenue.

A redesigned Mini Hardtop is set for reveal later this year, and prototypes are currently undergoing cold-weather testing near the Arctic Circle.
Top Gear has learned that Mini will finally drop the Hardtop name it currently uses for the signature two- and four-door hatch models and revert to calling them Coopers. Currently Cooper is just a grade.
Mini has confirmed it will offer the choice of gas and electric power, but this time around it will add multiple electric variants. The electric models will also use a separate platform than the gas-powered variants, though the two should feature mostly identical styling.
According to Top Gear, the base electric grade will be a Cooper E with a 40-kwh battery and 181 hp on tap. Above this will reportedly be a Cooper SE with a 54-kwh battery and 215 hp.
Compare that to the current Cooper SE Hardtop, which has a 32.6-kwh battery rated by the EPA at just 110 miles of range. The piddling performance is partially due to the car riding on a platform originally designed for gas power.
Interestingly, an electric John Cooper Works grade is also coming, Mini revealed in 2020.
Mini will launch the new Cooper in electric guise. Production of the electric variants will be handled in China as part of an agreement made with Great Wall Motors in 2018. Production of gas variants will remain in Mini’s current home of Oxford, U.K.
Mini this year will also launch a redesigned Countryman, which will also offer the choice of gas or electric power. The new Countryman, which will be the first Mini to be built in Germany, is set to grow slightly in size to make space in Mini’s lineup for a smaller, fully electric crossover that will likely go by the Aceman name.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Twitter accounts operated by authoritarian governments in Russia, China and Iran are benefiting from recent changes at the social media company, researchers said Monday, making it easier for them to attract new followers and broadcast propaganda and disinformation to a larger audience.
The platform is no longer labeling state-controlled media and propaganda agencies, and will no longer prohibit their content from being automatically promoted or recommended to users. Together, the two changes, both made in recent weeks, have supercharged the Kremlin’s ability to use the U.S.-based platform to spread lies and misleading claims about its invasion of Ukraine, U.S. politics and other topics.
Russian state media accounts are now earning 33% more views than they were just weeks ago, before the change was made, according to findings released Monday by Reset, a London-based non-profit that tracks authoritarian governments’ use of social media to spread propaganda. Reset’s findings were first reported by The Associated Press.
The increase works out to more than 125,000 additional views per post. Those posts included ones suggesting the CIA had something to do with the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the U.S., that Ukraine’s leaders are embezzling foreign aid to the their country, and that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was justified because the U.S. was running clandestine biowarfare labs in the country.
State media agencies operated by Iran and China have seen similar increases in engagement since Twitter quietly made the changes.
The about-face from the platform is the latest development since billionaire Elon Musk purchased Twitter last year. Since then, he’s ushered in a confusing new verification system and laid off much of the company’s staff, including those dedicated to fighting misinformation, allowed back neo-Nazis and others formerly suspended from the site, and ended the site’s policy prohibiting dangerous COVID-19 misinformation. Hate speech and disinformation have thrived.
Before the most recent change, Twitter affixed labels reading “Russia state-affiliated media” to let users know the origin of the content. It also throttled back the Kremlin’s online engagement by making the accounts ineligible for automatic promotion or recommendation — something it regularly does for ordinary accounts as a way to help them reach bigger audiences.
The labels quietly disappeared after National Public Radio and other outlets protested Musk’s plans to label their outlets as state affiliated media too. NPR then announced it would no longer use Twitter, saying the label was misleading, given NPR’s editorial independence, and would would damage its credibility.
Reset’s conclusions were confirmed by the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab, where researchers determined the changes were likely made by Twitter late last month. Many of the dozens of previously labeled accounts were steadily losing followers since Twitter began using the labels. But after the change, many accounts saw big jumps in followers.
RT Arabic, one of Russia’s most popular propaganda accounts on Twitter, had fallen to less than 5,230,000 followers on Jan. 1, but rebounded after the change was implemented, the DFRL found. It now has more than 5,240,000 followers.
Before the change, users interested in seeking out Kremlin propaganda had to search specifically for the account or its content. Now, it can be recommended or promoted like any other content.
“Twitter users no longer must actively seek out state-sponsored content in order to see it on the platform; it can just be served to them,” the DFRL concluded.
Twitter did not respond to questions about the change or the reasons behind it. Musk has made past comments suggesting he sees little difference between state-funded propaganda agencies operated by authoritarian strongmen and independent news outlets in the west.
“All news sources are partially propaganda,” he tweeted last year, “some more than others.” | 2023-04-25T19:05:15+00:00 | nwahomepage.com | https://www.nwahomepage.com/news/politics/twitter-changes-stoke-russian-chinese-propaganda-surge/ |
New Business Planning brings more scalability, transparency, and collaboration to QBRs, allowing companies to engage all tiers of partners, including the smallest ones
SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Impartner, the global pure-play leader in SaaS-based channel management and Partner Relationship Management (PRM), launched Impartner Business Planning within its PRM—scaling your channel and engaging partners like never before. Impartner Business Planning accelerates revenue in your entire channel.
Impartner Business Planning ends managers' dreading the quarterly business reviews (QBRs) with their partner channel. The increased collaboration, transparency, and automation help companies create business plans with all segments of partners—maximizing the productivity of the largest ones and fully engaging even the very smallest.
"Business planning with partners is no longer a check-off item or something to dread," said Gary Sabin, VP of Product at Impartner. "Impartner brings more accountability into the process through collaboration—not top-down micro-management—making partner planning meetings more productive, more fulfilling and even more enjoyable with the end result being increased revenue."
Impartner Business Planning motivates and manages partners with clear performance measures and objectives, enhancing the overall partner experience. Most companies perform business planning through spreadsheet applications and one-off systems, which impacts partner experience. Today, partners decide whom they want to do business with based on the experience they receive, especially compared to competitors. Business Planning provides a competitive advantage in partner experience.
Impartner Business Planning provides better collaboration with partners. It works with any CRM system. Channel managers can drag and drop pre-built metrics using standard objectives or build their own based on the partners' business. They can also establish two-way communication of these metrics with message threads, templated plans for different levels of partners and automated instructions. Business Planning provides easy access to current performance measures and attainment status. The system displays progress updates and tracks the history of business plan details. Business Planning extends the value of Impartner's Journey Builder, Program Compliance Manager and MDF applications by tracking and displaying the progress of journeys, tier badges and percent of MDF funds used.
The new product helps customers achieve more revenue with all levels of partners. It allows customers to deepen relationships and effectiveness of the top-performing partners, but it also engages the smallest, lower-tier partners. With new partners, channel chiefs can automatically track metrics like lead distribution, deal conversion and revenue targets and set goals for channel certification completion.
Business Planning is available in Impartner PRM for all customers now.
To learn more about how Impartner helps corporations from the smallest to the largest enterprises like Honeywell, Qualtrics and Vertiv grow their channel revenue by an average of 32.3% in the first year of use alone, click here.

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — One man has said he attempted to rescue the Chesterfield County firefighter who died in North Carolina on Saturday.
Alicia Monahan, 41, died while teaching a swift water training course on the Nantahala River in Macon County, North Carolina.
Warren Cabe, the Macon County Emergency Services Director, said those in the training noticed Monahan was having a problem in the water. He said the first call came in at around 2:36 p.m.
Douglas Hardy, who works with the Paddle Inn Rafting Company, said he remembers the split-second decision he made to try and save Monahan.
“I didn’t know if it was a boy or girl at first,” he said. “I just saw a helmet floating and face down in the water and it was like I knew I only had like a matter of seconds to get to her.”
He said he grabbed a paddle and a boat from someone else and went out on the water without any equipment.
“I basically went against every rule that I probably should’ve been doing,” he said. “Obviously, you have to have a life jacket on. You obviously have to have all these other things but when you see a body and it’s face down in the water, you don’t think about those things and you just go.”
Hardy said he pulled Monahan onto his boat and then tried to give her CPR.
“Started doing the chest compressions and checking her out. I couldn’t see anything wrong, but she wasn’t breathing and I could see her pupils were dilated,” he said.
Shortly after, first responders from Nantahala Fire and Rescue and Macon County EMS arrived on the scene and took Monahan to Swain Community Hospital.
Monahan served with the Chesterfield County Fire and EMS Department for 11 years.
During her time with the department, she helped in a recovery mission on the Swift Creek Reservoir in March.
Monahan is survived by a fiancée and two sons.
Though details are still limited at this time, the incident is still weighing heavy on the minds of community members like Hardy.
“It’s emotionally, you know, very depressing. It is extremely depressing. It’s been really difficult to sleep,” he said.
Warren Cabe said the Nantahala National Forest will investigate the incident. | 2022-06-27T22:42:12+00:00 | wric.com | https://www.wric.com/news/local-news/man-who-tried-to-rescue-chesterfield-firefighter-speaks-to-8news/ |
Sometimes when we need it the most, therapy can feel out of reach. Tracking down a provider with availability who you like and can also afford is no easy feat.
You could compare finding a therapist to apartment-hunting in a crowded housing market. Demand is high, availability is limited. It requires persistence, flexibility, and the knowledge that you may not be able to check every one of your boxes.
In a poll of mental health and substance abuse workers conducted earlier this year, 90% of workers surveyed expressed concern that new patients won't be able to access care. And more than half of providers who work directly with clients say their waitlist for new clients is longer now than it's ever been before.
And if your finances are tight – say if you're on Medicaid, or you selected an insurance plan with a narrower network of doctors to save on premiums – you may find it's harder to make an appointment with a new therapist compared to other health care providers.
With all that said, Theresa Nguyen, chief research officer at Mental Health America, says it's important to consider your personal fit with a therapist, as well as the cost. "It's such an intimate experience. It's unlike finding any other doctor," she says.
Here's a guide to finding a therapist who can help you – taking both your mental health needs and your budget into account.
Step 1: Figure out what you need help with
There are lots of reasons to consider seeing a therapist. Maybe you feel depressed, or unlike yourself. Maybe you're feeling burnt out or under pressure with family obligations. Nguyen recommends getting specific about what you'd like to get out of the experience right off the bat, so you can seek out a therapist who matches your goals.
"If I am resolving family issues, ... I want to feel warmth and safety with this person. If I am going to therapy to manage a life change that might trigger a depressed episode, I'm going to find somebody who understands what's related to the change that I'm negotiating," Nguyen says.
It's also okay to go into therapy without really knowing precisely what you want out of it, says psychologist Lynn Bufka, a spokesperson for the American Psychological Association. "Sometimes people just feel bad or life's not going how you want it to go," Bufka says, "and it's hard to be more specific." Therapy could be a step forward.
Step 2: Assess your financial resources
Therapy can be expensive – or not, depending on where you go for care or whom you see. Know your coverage options and budget before deciding where to look for a therapist.
Working with insurance:
If you have health insurance, your insurer will typically provide a directory of covered therapists on their website.
However, bear in mind that payment often works differently for mental health providers than medical doctors. Instead of a copay, many therapists will ask for the full payment at the time of your appointment. Then it's up to you to submit your receipts to your health insurer for reimbursement. Nguyen says that's because therapists tend to operate on a smaller scale.
Insurance coverage is typically limited to therapists in your state. Many providers now offer teletherapy which is typically also covered, and can give you access to therapists outside of your immediate area. Some app-based therapy providers, such as Talkspace, also accept insurance, but coverage can vary depending on your state.
Depending on your state's licensure laws and your insurance coverage, you may be covered to see a therapist who lives out-of-state, as long as that provider is licensed in the state where you live. Check with your insurance company.
Self-pay
If you've exhausted your in-network options, you may want to consider paying out-of-pocket. If you can afford it, paying full price may enable you to get seen sooner, or access a therapist with more advanced education or specific certifications.
The full price of a fifty-minute therapy session with a therapist in private practice is usually between $100 and $200 or higher, depending on your location.
App-based therapy providers are on the lower end of out-of-pocket options. The popular app BetterHelp offers memberships from $60-$90 per week, depending on your location. (BetterHelp is a sponsor of NPR.) Some private practices and individual therapists offer a sliding scale based on income or financial means.
Free and low-cost therapy
Some county mental health departments and non-profit organizations like Mental Health America provide free and low-cost therapy for people on Medicaid, people who receive social security for disability, and those without insurance. That's what's called "community mental health, as opposed to traditional outpatient or inpatient treatment," Nguyen explains.
Some health centers that receive funding from the federal government also offer low-cost or free mental health care. Find federally-funded health centers in your zip code using this searchable directory.
If you're receiving free care, Nguyen notes, you still have a say when it comes to choosing a therapist. Ask for information about the different providers available and pick the one that feels like the best fit.
If you are employed, another free option worth exploring is if your workplace offers an EAP, or employee assistance program. EAPs are time-limited, typically five to six sessions. And they're designed to address problems that affect your performance at work — but that can be pretty broad, says Bufka. "If I'm struggling with parenting or work-life balance, that's affecting my job, right? If I've had depression for years, the EAP is unlikely to fix that for me, but they very well may help me find somebody to address that," she says.
Ideally, using the EAP benefit will be completely confidential. Find information about it in your employee onboarding documents or online benefits portal. If you don't see that information, it can still be worth asking your human resources department if there is an EAP available to you.
Step 3: Do some searching – and understand credentials
Now that you know the lay of the land cost-wise, start hunting.
The directory at psychologytoday.com and goodtherapy.org are useful for learning about the therapists in your area and targeting your search. Many share bios, photos or short videos about themselves. You can search by issue, like "depression," "addiction" or "marriage counseling," or by type of therapy. You can also search by age, gender, ethnicity, language, sexuality, and insurance accepted.
Primary care doctors and other health care providers, as well as family and friends may be able to recommend providers, says Bufka.
If you have a sense of what issues or diagnoses you want to address, you can hone your search by researching what type or modality of therapy might be most useful. Some common types include cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT – which focuses on changing patterns of thought and behavior; mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, which incorporates meditation techniques; or psychodynamic therapy, which reaches for the roots of emotional suffering through self-reflection.
Some types of therapy are particularly specialized to certain issues, like EMDR for post-traumatic stress, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy for borderline personality disorder and self-harm. However, an individual therapist may offer more than one type of therapy.
You might be wondering if the letters behind a therapist's name – like LCSW, PhD, or MFT should matter to your search. Nguyen, who carries the LCSW (licensed clinical social worker) qualification, says social workers' education and experience can be especially valuable for patients struggling with housing, domestic violence, employment and other social issues. "We're comfortable talking about these spaces as we also unpack trauma," she says.
Marriage and family therapists have a lot of training in family dynamics. "I often think they're very good couples therapists, family therapists," Nguyen says.
You may want to look for a psychologist – someone with a PhD in psychology or a PsyD degree – if you need specialized help with certain diagnoses. For instance, some psychologists provide testing for issues like ADHD and autism spectrum disorder.

Step 4: Assess if they're a fit for you, personally and culturally
Nguyen says when she's researching therapists online as a patient, she looks for indications of who providers are as individuals – to get a sense if she'd feel comfortable with them. "There was a time where the assumption was that a therapist was not supposed to disclose who they were. But I think... that's not how a therapeutic relationship should work. I think that many therapists do give a sense of who they are as human beings," she says.
On the other hand, Lynn Bufka says that if a therapist doesn't disclose much – either in their web presence or in conversation with a client – that's a legitimate professional choice – not a red flag. "Psychotherapy sort of started from the premise that as the therapist I am a blank slate. Over the years it's not the blank slate mode of thinking... anymore," but the idea is still to keep the focus on the client's needs.
Most therapists in the United States are white, and like many institutions, the field of psychology carries a legacy of systemic racism. It's no surprise that both therapists and patients of different racial backgrounds report feeling marginalized or misunderstood in the field. In response, some therapists are developing culturally responsive therapeutic models, and forming organizations like Inclusive Therapy and the Asian Mental Health Collective.
While it can be meaningful to work with a therapist from a similar background, Nguyen recommends prioritizing matching goals over race or ethnic group in your search – especially because the demand for therapy is so high right now.
Step 5: Reach out, and persist
It's exciting, Nguyen says, to live in a time when mental health is becoming destigmatized and part of the public conversation. On the flip side, it can be a struggle to find a provider with availability because therapists have been overwhelmed with demand since the pandemic. "COVID acted as a catalyst to get a lot of people into treatment," she says.
If you feel comfortable asking around your social circle, you might get some valuable recommendations. And if you have friends or relatives who work in mental health, consider telling them you're looking. They might be able to reach out to their professional network, or point you to a resource you hadn't considered.
It's an irony of the system that at a time when you need help, dogged effort might be required to find it. And "when we are feeling distressed and overwhelmed, we don't have the energy," says Bufka. It can actually be a great idea to ask for help finding help, she says.
"If you have a trusted friend who's able to make some phone calls for you, even just to find out, you know, this clinician doesn't have any availability, that can be a reasonable way to go. And if you are a friend or family member of somebody who's really struggling, and if that's something that you're willing to offer to do, that may be really, really helpful to someone," she notes.
Step 6: Interview a prospective therapist
There's a limit to how much you can learn about a person online or second-hand. Some therapists offer brief consultations for free, typically about 15 minutes.
Nguyen recommends coming to a consultation or a first appointment with a set of questions. "You'll probably want to know about their past experience and expertise, and their experience dealing with the kinds of issues you're facing. Questions can be open ended, like 'Can you tell me about your experience working with adult ADHD?' " Nguyen says.
"If you have questions about length of therapy, or number of sessions, certainly ask that," Bufka suggests. "Can I expect to see gains after a certain amount of time? What might that look like? Is the kind of therapy that you provide something that's supported by the research?"
Pay attention to their answers almost as if you were on a date. "It's not sometimes their expertise, it's the tone of their voice," Nguyen says. It's the passion you might hear, or how much they listen. "You're kind of getting your own sense of ... do I feel like we could speak at ease, or am I going to be battling this person unconsciously?"
Personal questions are okay too, Nguyen says. While some therapists might balk at being asked to open up, she believes it's important to the therapeutic relationship and can help build trust. Bufka suggests focusing on your needs as a patient, "not on developing a friendship at the same time."
Step 7: Try at least three to five sessions
After a first appointment, if you think you might be able to work with this therapist, Nguyen says to give it three to five sessions to see if the fit is right. Some discomfort is normal, she says. "especially if this is your first time in therapy."
"But early on you can kind of tell, is this a person that I can slowly let into my life? Do I feel like I can be honest with myself and be honest with them?" says Nguyen.
"I think probably the number one thing is do I feel respected in this relationship? Do I trust this person?" Bufka says.
While finding a therapist who you feel you can open up to is a great start, a crucial component of therapy is time, Nguyen says. "You shouldn't assume it's going to be magical," she says. "It's going to take time to heal. And that includes the work we have to put in to find our healer."

SINGAPORE, July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The global Venture Capital (VC) investment in Artificial Intelligence (AI) was close to its peak, reaching US$22.3 billion in 2021. According to ABI Research, a global technology intelligence firm, this is just US$0.4 million shy of the historical high of US$22.7 billion recorded in 2019. Compared to the US$15 billion recorded in 2020, the market made a remarkable recovery, with a 48.5% year-on-year growth.
"COVID-19 greatly accelerated the speed of digital transformation in enterprise. Businesses are looking for solutions to work processes automation, customer care, due diligence, transcription and translation, and sales and marketing enablement tools. At the same time, COVID-19 led to the Great Resignation of 2021, where over 47 million Americans voluntarily quit their jobs. The massive job-changing wave led businesses to rethink their internal business processes, redeploy employees for high-value tasks, and retain valuable institutional knowledge," said Lian Jye Su, Research Director at ABI Research.
"It's no surprise that startups led the funding in 2021," Su says. These include UiPath and WorkFusion in enterprise automation, 4Paradigm, Databricks, Dataiku, DataRobot, and H2O.ai in data science and AI development platforms, and AI chipset vendors like SambaNova Systems, Groq, ECARX, Horizon Robotics, Enflame, and Hailo. "In essence, businesses need to identify their AI strategies, whether to buy, build, or both. Businesses looking to buy their AI solutions will look to UiPath and WorkFusion; those looking to build their own custom AI will lean toward the data science and AI development platforms. In some cases, having the right AI solution is not enough. Businesses are also looking for the most optimal AI hardware, and this is where AI chipset startups come into play," explains Su.
While the strong rebound indicated bullish market sentiment on the prospect of AI as a disruptive technology, the rebound is even more impressive considering the VC market exit of well-known startups taken into account. In 2021, no less than eight significant startups exited the VC market, including Affirm, Babylon, Darktrace, Exscientia, Recursion, SenseTime, SentinelOne, and UiPath. These startups have a strong value proposition, clear core competencies, and sustainable business models. With the exit of these startups, however, the total VC funding for AI in future years may see lower, or even negative, growth.
"These startups have demonstrated the full potential of AI to businesses. They also serve as examples for the younger AI startups. While the AI market is getting more crowded, it is still essential for aspiring startups to hone their value proposition, identify the right niche, develop core competency, and well serve customers," concludes Su.

CLIFTON, N.J. (AP) — Being a two-time defending champion in the Cognizant Founders Cup isn't giving Jin Young Ko any advantage.
For the third time running, the $3 million event honoring the 13 founders of the LPGA Tour is being played on a different course.
When Ko won in 2019 it was at Wildfire Golf Club in Phoenix. After the pandemic canceled the 2020 edition, the world's top-ranked player defended her title at Mountain Ridge Country Club in West Caldwell, New Jersey.
The 26-year-old South Korean will have limited course knowledge when the field of 144 golfers tees off on Thursday at the Upper Montclair Country Club, which is roughly 10 miles from New York City.
After taking Monday off, Ko practiced Tuesday and said the tree-lined course with quick greens surrounded by bunkers will be a challenge, especially if it is windy like it was on Wednesday.
“I love this golf course," Ko said. “It’s tough. Greens are fast, and the rough is thicker, and a lot of bunkers greenside, so I practiced a lot of bunkers on the practice area. I love to play Mountain Ridge. Also, Arizona.”
A 13-time winner on the LPGA Tour, including two majors, Ko is clearly the favorite. She finished second to Marina Alex in the Palos Verdes Championship in California. Ko has played in five events this year and finished in the Top 10 in three.
Ko scoffs at being called the favorite, though.
“I would say I don’t care,” she said. “I don’t care the other people think about Jin Young is going to be winning or if they’re expecting for, like, one more win for this week. I don’t care. I just care about myself, how to play this golf course.”
Seven of the top 10 players in the world are in the 72-hole event, with Nelly Korda, Hyo Jin Kim and In-Bee Park not here.
Among the winners on tour this year competing in the richest nonmajor or season-ending event are Rolex leader Jennifer Kupcho, Minjee Lee, top rookie Atthaya Thitikul, Leona Maguire, Nanna Korrstz Madsen, and Nasa Jataoko, who returned home to Japan after winning in Los Angeles.
Alex also is in the event, which is roughly 10 miles from her family's home in Wayne, New Jersey. She rallied in the final round in California 1 1/2 weeks ago to post her second tour win. She missed time in 2020 with back problems and is just getting her game back.
“It’s very hard when you feel like you can’t totally prepare the way you would like to to have the confidence to go in and play well, because that’s always in the back of your mind,” Alex said.
NOTES: LPGA Hall of Famer Nancy Lopez will hit the ceremonial first tee shot on Thursday. ... Veteran Brittany Lincicome is in the sixth month of her second pregnancy. “I don’t want to shut it down yet because then the time is just going to go by really slow, so I’m going to keep playing as long as I possibly can, as long as I feel comfortable and I’m not too big yet. We’re going to keep it going,” she said. Her daughter, Emery, will be 3 this summer. ... Upper Montclair has been the site of tournaments on all three tours. Lopez won the 1979 Coca-Cola Classic here. Fellow Hall of Famer Pat Bradley won the 1984 Chrysler Plymouth Charity Classic, and Lorena Ochoa was the Sybase Classic victor in 2007 and ’08. ... The two sponsor invitees are 16-year-old Anna Davis, the 2022 Augusta National Women’s Amateur champion and Lakareber Abe, who earned her spot in the field after winning the inaugural John Shippen Women’s Shootout on Monday.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — A new decision from the Supreme Court could have major implications for the country’s waterways.
On Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency can no longer regulate pollution in certain wetlands.
Environmentalists across the country are up in arms.
Jim Murphy, director of legal advocacy at the National Wildlife Federation, said the decision will impact millions of Americans.
“Wetlands are very, very important in protecting people’s drinking water,” Murphy said. “They’re the kidneys of our water system. They’re the sponges of our water system. There’s no better natural system to protect you from flooding.”
Even conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh acknowledged this while joining the three liberal justices in dissent.
But the 5-4 decision said only wetlands with a surface connection to a larger body of water are subject to the Clean Water Act.
“Great day for rural America, a great day for agriculture,” said Rep. Tracey Mann, R-Kan.
Mann called the regulation unnecessary and costly.
For the same reasons, House Republicans voted in March to overturn new water rules from the Biden administration.
“The federal government should not have prerogative over farm ponds, drainage ditches, very small bodies of water,” Mann said.
The Biden administration vowed to push back.
“President Biden will use every legal authority available to him to ensure Americans in every state have clear water,” said White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
“It’s really time for Congress to act,” Murphy said. | 2023-05-26T23:00:48+00:00 | wivb.com | https://www.wivb.com/news/washington-dc/supreme-court-epa-can-no-longer-regulate-some-wetlands/ |
The Winnetka Park District is looking to finalize design plans for the beaches at Elder and Centennial parks before two new board members, James Hemmings and Jeff Tyson, join the board in May.
They wil succeed current Park Board Commissioners Mickey Archambault and David Seaman, who will be stepping down.
Board President Warren James said he expects the board to consider cost estimates at the next meeting on April 27 with a review of the project and all that has gone into it so far at the May 11 meeting in order to hand the project to Park District staff after the May 25 meeting. The Park District also hosted an open house on April 15 to update residents on the project’s progress.
“It is the intent that this board should conclude the discussion regarding the design of Elder and Centennial,” James said. “For this board to continue to debate ad nauseam without bringing to resolution is inappropriate. We’ve taken a great deal of time. There’s consensus among the board members ... To continue debating the design is not what I think is in the best interest of the board.”
Designs for the project have changed several times since the original plans were pulled from consideration by the Army Corps of Engineers and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources on June 9, 2022 by a 3-2 vote. Since then, Matt Wright of Red Barn Design and Engineering has joined the team to provide additional expertise.
Seaman agreed with James, saying it has been nearly a year of hard work and listening to the public since the permits were pulled, and he indicated that progress needs to be made.
“What is currently in the plans (has) meaningful, dramatic changes from the initial permit that we put through,” he said. “We need to move forward. We are moving forward.”
The proposed land swap between the Park District and billionaire resident Justin Ishbia has remained unfinished despite the contract being completed in Oct. 2020. Some, including Commissioner Colleen Root, have said the lack of finality with the land swap prevents the Park District from being able to fully conceptualize the project. If that land swap goes forward, the beaches would be combined and an equitable piece of land at the southern end of Centennial would be gifted to Ishbia by the Park District. If not, the beaches will remain divided.
An ongoing lawsuit by resident Robert Schriesheim arguing that the Park District is violating the Illinois Public Trust Doctrine by gifting public lands to a private entity has also muddied the waters of the project. The doctrine states that public lands, including those under the water of Lake Michigan, are owned by the residents and held in trust by the government.
James said that even with a vote in May, there are still many chances for the project to be held up, particularly in regards to funding. The board approved a $24 million budget in March with nearly a third being dedicated to the Elder/Centennial project.
With the project receiving continued pushback from a group of residents concerned primarily about preserving views of Lake Michigan, residents spoke out at the board’s committee of the whole meeting on April 13.
“You owe it to the public to go to referendum like every other district in this village,” Katie Stevens said. “The public needs to decide where our tax dollars go. The public wants their views; we want no walls.”
Resident Allen Welch said the money should be in hand before beginning a project of this scale and Randy Whitchurch said that even if money is available for the Elder portion of the project, the design will make it necessary to rebuild Centennial which the board doesn’t have the funds for.
Resident Sherry Molitor echoed Stevens’ concerns, saying the project has no measurable public approval and a referendum like the Glencoe golf referendum which passed earlier this month should be done.
“We keep hearing that our group is just a very vocal and obnoxious minority; we’re not. We represent a lot of people,” Irene Smith said.
Seaman said that while there are people openly opposed to the project, there is broad approval exemplified by the few most recent annual Winnetka Caucus surveys. Root said she believes that comments in the survey against “over-engineered” beaches are being ignored.
“The delay here is not the fault of the community. It is not the fault of staff. It’s not the fault of the board,” she said. “The delay here is because we have been unable to close a contract that was finally signed on Oct. 13, 2020 ... we are moving forward with a plan that, once we start this breakwater on the northern side of Elder, will almost commit us to have to follow that plan, but we don’t own the property in the middle.”
Commissioner Christina Codo also thinks the board has an example of measurable public approval in the fairly equal amount of votes for her and Commissioner Cynthia Rapp — who received 1,966 votes to Codo’s 1,905. She said she saw the results as a proxy of a referendum on their positions on the project. Rapp has voted against several components of the issue alongside Root with Codo voting in line with the majority.
Several plans have been put forth with and without the land swap included. One suggestion made by residents was to forego the breakwaters into the lake and replace them with piers.
“We do not want five walls in the lake. We do not want to spend $20 million on rocks. We want to see the views and I don’t want you to be afraid of a homeowner,” Stevens said. “If there is any way to get out of this deal, you need to get out of this deal.”
James said that piers are too dangerous to include in the plans because they incite people to jump off them, citing a staff member who was severely injured diving off a pier last year and another incident that happened last week at Maple Street Beach.
Residents also asked to have Elder Beach opened for this summer but staff is conflicted on the possibility. Superintendent of Recreation Kyle Berg said staffing levels aren’t sufficient to get the beach clean and safe enough to be opened to the public, but Director of Parks and Maintenance Costa Kutulas agreed to see what could be done and update the board.
James said after the recent storms, hazards on the beach have been exposed he wasn’t even aware of. Residents have been using the beach regardless of it being closed and instruction that it isn’t safe. Root said because of this, the Park District should be doing all it can to make the beach safe and accessible.
Archambault said just because people are using the beach in violation of the rules, that doesn’t make it right and the board shouldn’t condone or support it.
“If people want to do it and they get caught — I’ve paid the fine once so, so be it,” he said.
Seaman said instead of encouraging people to use the beach while closed, the Park District should be doing what it can to keep people from using it and limiting access.
“My view is, absolutely no way. Do not open that beach. Do not open it; it’s not safe. We’ve had two incidents,” he said. “It’s too easy (to get down there). That’s my view from a risk management standpoint ... we need to do it right or we don’t do it at all.” | 2023-04-18T23:24:56+00:00 | chicagotribune.com | https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/winnetka/ct-wpd-update-tl-0420-20230418-7cveyavx6newxemip2kuta5ode-story.html |

Leading window treatment franchise recognized for excellence in franchisee satisfaction
DENVER , July 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Gotcha Covered, a leader in custom window treatment consultation in the U.S. and Canada, has been recognized for its excellence in franchise culture after being named to Franchise Business Review's third annual Culture100 list. The list recognizes the top 100 franchise brands in 2022.
"Operating a successful franchise is a team effort between the franchisor and franchisees," said Paul Linenberg, president of Gotcha Covered. "One cannot be successful without the other. To ensure our franchise owners can maximize their potential, we provide excellent franchisee services.
"Whether it's our Gotcha Linked software or just answering a question from a concerned franchise owner, we dedicate ourselves to giving our franchisees the tools they need to succeed. Being named to this list is a testament to how hard we work to make sure our franchisees are satisfied with the services we provide and the experience they have as a Gotcha Covered franchise owner."
Gotcha Covered was among more than 300 franchise brands, representing more than 30,000 franchise owners, that participated in Franchise Business Review's research on the best franchise cultures.
Franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems. The brands that were selected received the highest overall ratings based on 12 questions that looked at the perception of brand vision, team culture, honesty and integrity, and overall support.
"Every franchise organization has a different culture and vibe. Some franchises are more serious and formal, while others are more relaxed and casual," said Michelle Rowan, president & COO of Franchise Business Review. "A franchise company's culture – and your potential fit into that culture – should guide your franchise investment decision. Looking at data on how current franchisees rate a brand's culture will tell you how well the franchise leadership team is executing on the vision of the brand, and how well the community of support staff and franchisees work together to achieve their business objectives.
"The best place to start is with the brands on this year's Culture100 list. All of them had an FBR 'Culture Score' of 80+ on a 100-point satisfaction scale, putting them in the top quartile of franchises when it comes to culture."
Franchise Business Review, a franchise market research firm that performs independent surveys of franchisee satisfaction, provides the only rankings of franchises based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance. Franchise Business Review publishes its rankings of top franchises in its annual Guide to Today's Top Franchises, as well as in special interest reports throughout the year that identify the top franchises in specific sectors.

AKRON, Ohio (WJW) — Police are investigating after a DoorDash delivery driver was fatally shot on the job in Akron, Ohio.
When investigators arrived around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday, they found a 22-year-old man in a parking lot with a gunshot wound. He was taken to Cleveland Clinic Akron General Medical Center in critical condition, where he was pronounced dead Thursday morning.
According to police, the victim was making a DoorDash delivery when he was shot.
Investigators say the victim got into an altercation with two men around 11 p.m. in the city’s Highland Square area. The pair then allegedly followed the victim to the delivery spot and shot him.
Two suspects, 21 year-old Matthew Couch and 19 year-old Derek Ransome-Fromby were arrested at an area home and taken to the Summit County Jail.
They were initially charged with felonious assault, but now murder charges are pending. | 2023-04-20T23:05:50+00:00 | wnct.com | https://www.wnct.com/news/national/ohio-doordash-driver-killed-while-on-delivery-police/ |
(NewsNation) — Heat waves, like the ones seen by over 100 million people across the country this week, are the leading cause of weather-related deaths in the U.S. High temperatures, on average, cause more fatalities than other kinds of hazardous weather events, like floods or tornadoes.
More than 600 people in the United States are killed by extreme heat every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. By comparison, the National Weather Service reports that about 80 tornado deaths a year are reported. In 2021, 145 people were killed in floods.
Heat-related conditions, per the CDC, include heat exhaustion, heat stroke and hyperthermia, where exposure to extreme heat causes the body to become unable to property cool.
In serious cases, heat-related illnesses can be life-threatening, shutting down organs or exacerbating preexisting conditions. Symptoms of heat exhaustion can include:
- Muscle cramping
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Nausea or vomiting
- Dizziness or Fainting
In more severe cases where heat exhaustion leads to heat stroke, symptoms can also include raised body temperature (of 103 degrees F or higher); a rapid, strong pulse; confusion; and unconsciousness, according to the CDC.
People at greatest risk of a heat-related illness include infants and children up to 4 years old, as well as people older than 65, those living in poverty, people who are socially isolated, and people with existing medical conditions, such as diabetes or heart disease.
To beat the heat, experts recommend drinking plenty of water and avoiding the sun. The CDC also advises wearing sunscreen when outdoors, choosing lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing, and staying in air-conditioned spaces. Those who live in homes without air conditioning might even be eligible for assistance. | 2022-06-18T17:31:51+00:00 | localsyr.com | https://www.localsyr.com/news/national/heat-related-illnesses-kill-more-people-each-year-than-tornadoes-floods/ |
BENGALURU, India (AP) — Policymakers of the Group of 20 leading economies should focus on helping the world’s most vulnerable people, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Friday as top-level financial talks kicked off in the Indian technology hub of Bengaluru.
“You represent the leadership of global finance and economy at a time when the world is facing serious economic difficulties,” Modi said in a video address to the finance ministers, central bank governors and other leaders attending the meetings, which wrap up Saturday.
“It is up to you, the custodians of the leading economies and market systems … to bring back stability, confidence and growth to the global economy,” he said.
As countries deal with slew of challenges in the aftermath of the pandemic, including unsustainable debt, conflict, inflation and eroding trust in international financial institutions, Modi said, “I urge you to focus on the most vulnerable people in the world.”
The meetings in Bengaluru are due to touch on a wide range of issues including digital currencies and payments, reform of institutions like the World Bank, climate change and financial inclusion.
Multiple meetings between various leaders were also scheduled, including talks between U.S. and British officials and meetings of India’s finance minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, with her counterparts from France and Brazil.
As is usually the case, broader issues such as the war in Ukraine are overshadowing the talks.
On Thursday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen reaffirmed she would push for stronger sanctions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine and better enforcement of restrictions meant to hinder Moscow’s war effort.
The G-20 meetings offer a chance for leaders to consider how to coordinate their policies: many central banks including the U.S. Federal Reserve have been raising interest rates sharply to try to rein in decades-high inflation brought on by various factors including the war and rebounding demand for travel, goods and services following the COVID-19 pandemic.
With increases in income lagging far behind, rising costs for food, housing, fuel and fertilizer impose huge burdens, especially on the poor and in developing nations, where debt burdens have surged both at the national and household levels.
As the G-20 host this year, India is taking the opportunity to showcase its ascent as an economic power.
Modi suggested the gathering could “draw hope from the vibrant Indian economy,” which is forecast to grow at a more than 6% annual pace this year, making it one of the fastest growing in the world. He also pointed to the country’s digital payments technology as a model to be emulated. | 2023-02-24T16:12:22+00:00 | kron4.com | https://www.kron4.com/news/world/ap-international/ap-modi-urges-g20-finance-leaders-to-focus-on-most-vulnerable/ |

Justine Triet’s “Anatomy of a Fall” won the Palme d’Or at the 76th Cannes Film Festival in a ceremony Saturday that bestowed the festival’s prestigious top prize on an engrossing, rigorously plotted French courtroom drama that puts a marriage on trial.
“Anatomy of a Fall,” which stars Sandra Hüller as a writer trying to prove her innocence in her husband’s death, is only the third film directed by a woman to win the Palme d’Or. One of the two previous winners, Julia Ducournau, was on this year’s jury.
Cannes’ Grand Prix, its second prize, went to Jonathan Glazer’s “The Zone of Interest,” a chilling Martin Amis adaptation about a German family living next door to Auschwitz. Hüller also stars in that film.
The awards were decided by a jury presided over by two-time Palme winner Ruben Östlund, the Swedish director who won the prize last year for “Triangle of Sadness.” The ceremony preceded the festival’s closing night film, the Pixar animation “Elemental.”
Remarkably, the award for “Anatomy of a Fall” gives the indie distributor Neon its fourth straight Palme winners. Neon, which acquired the film after its premiere in Cannes, also backed “Triangle of Sadness,”Ducournau’s “Titane” and Bong Joon Ho’s “Parasite,” which it steered to a best picture win at the Academy Awards.
Triet was presented the Palme by Jane Fonda, who recalled coming to Cannes in 1963 when, she said, there were no female filmmakers competing “and it never even occurred to us that there was something wrong with that.” This year, a record seven out of the 21 films in competition at Cannes were directed by women.
After a rousing standing ovation, Triet, the 44-year-old French filmmaker, spoke passionately about the protests that have roiled France this year over reforms to pension plans and the retirement age. Several protests were held during Cannes this year, but demonstrations were — as they have been in many high-profile locations throughout France — banned from the area around the Palais des Festivals. Protesters were largely relegated to the outskirts of Cannes.
“The protests were denied and repressed in a shocking way,” said Triet, who linked that governmental influence to that in cinema. “The merchandizing of culture, defended by a liberal government, is breaking the French cultural exception.”
“This award is dedicated to all the young women directors and all the young male directors and all those who cannot manage to shoot films today,” she added. “We must give them the space I occupied 15 years ago in a less hostile world where it was still possible to make mistakes and start again.”
After the ceremony, Triet reflected on being the third female director to win the Palme, following Ducournau and Jane Campion (“The Piano”).
“Things are truly changing,” she said.
Speaking to reporters, Triet was joined by her star, Hüller, whose performance was arguably the most acclaimed of the festival. (The festival encourages juries not to give films more than one award.) But “Anatomy of a Fall” did pocket one other sought-after prize: the Palme Dog. The honor given to the best canine in the festival’s films went to the film’s border collie, Snoop.
The jury prize went to Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki’s “Fallen Leaves,” a deadpan love story about a romance that blooms in a loveless workaday Helsinki where dispatches from the war in Ukraine regularly play on the radio.
Best actor went to veteran Japanese star Koji Yakusho, who plays a reflective, middle-aged Tokyo man who cleans toilets in Wim Wenders’ “Perfect Days,” a gentle, quotidian character study.
The Turkish actor Merve Dizdar took best actress for the Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s “About Dry Grasses.” Ceylan’s expansive tale is set in snowy eastern Anatolia about a teacher, Samet (Deniz Celiloğlu), accused of misconduct by a young female student. Dizdar plays a friend both attracted and repelled by Samet.
“I understand what it’s like to be a woman in this area of the country,” said Dizdar. “I would like to dedicate this prize to all the women who are fighting to exist and overcome difficulties in this world and to retrain hope.”
Vietnamese-French director Tràn Anh Hùng took best director for “Pot-au-Feu,” a lush, foodie love story starring Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel and set in a 19th century French gourmet château.
Best screenplay was won by Yuji Sakamoto for “Monster.” Sakamoto penned Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda’s nuanced drama, with shifting perspectives, about two boys struggling for acceptance in their school at home. “Monster” also won the Queer Palm, an honor bestowed by journalists for the festival’s strongest LGBTQ-themed film.
Quentin Tarantino, who won Cannes’ top award for “Pulp Fiction,” attended the ceremony to present a tribute to filmmaker Roger Corman. Tarantino praised Corman for filling him and countless moviegoers with “unadulterated cinema pleasure.”
“My cinema is uninhibited, full of excess and fun,” said Corman, the independent film maverick. “I feel like this what Cannes is about.”
The festival’s Un Certain Regard section handed out its awards on Friday, giving the top prize to Molly Manning Walker’s debut feature, “How to Have Sex.”
Saturday’s ceremony drew to close a Cannes edition that hasn’t lacked spectacle, stars or controversy.
The biggest wattage premieres came out of competition. Martin Scorsese debuted his Osage murders epic “Killers of the Flower Moon,” a sprawling vision of American exploitation with Leonardo DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone. “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” Harrison Ford’s Indy farewell, launched with a tribute to Ford. Wes Anderson premiered “Asteroid City.”
The festival opened on a note of controversy. “Jeanne du Barry,” a period drama co-starring Johnny Depp as Louis XV, played as the opening night film. The premiere marked Depp’s highest profile appearance since the conclusion of his explosive trial last year with ex-wife Amber Heard.

Origins of COVID-19 still unclear, however the Chinese lab-leak theory needs to be studied further, WHO says
Although the origins of COVID-19 are still unclear, the World Health Organization said this week that the theory of the virus originating from a Chinese lab leak — a proposition touted by former President Donald Trump — needs to be studied further.
That stance is a sharp reversal of WHO's initial assessment of the virus' origins. Many critics accused the U.N. health agency of being too quick to dismiss a Chinese lab-leak theory.
WHO concluded last year that it was “extremely unlikely” COVID-19 might have spilled into humans in the city of Wuhan from a lab, the Associated Press reports.
In March 2021, WHO released a report about COVID-19′s origins following a visit by international scientists to China. The report concluded that the virus most likely jumped into humans from bats and that no evidence existed to suggest there was a connection to a lab.
In a report released Thursday, WHO said "key pieces of data" to explain how the pandemic began were still missing. Adding that scientists "remain open to any and all scientific evidence that becomes available in the future to allow for comprehensive testing of all reasonable hypotheses."
At the beginning of the pandemic, Trump repeatedly speculated that COVID-19 originated from a lab leak in China, he also accused the WHO of colluding with China.
Investigations by the AP found that some top WHO insiders were frustrated by China during the initial outbreak even as WHO heaped praise on Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Jean-Claude Manuguerra, a co-chair of the 27-member international advisory group, told the AP that some scientists might be “allergic” to the idea of investigating the lab leak theory, but said they needed to be “open-minded” enough to examine it.
On Friday, Chinese officials attacked the lab-leak theory as a politically motivated lie.

NEW YORK – Bulletproof vests and drones. Pickup trucks, walkie-talkies and tourniquets. These are just some of the items that individuals and nonprofits have donated to buy and ship to Ukraine, where sometimes they are then used by those fighting Russia's invasion.
“We’ve had these discussions countless times,” said Igor Markov, a director of the nonprofit Nova Ukraine, about where to draw the line between what aid is humanitarian versus that which supports the active defense — the fighting — in his home country.
His San Francisco-based organization, which delivered some $59 million in aid to Ukraine since Russia invaded a year ago, decided ultimately not to support volunteer fighters.
“We realized there’s a significant amount of money that would be ruled out,” he said, pointing to platforms that facilitate matching employee donations, like Benevity, and some major companies, like Google, that require nonprofits to promise their aid does not support active fighting as a condition of receiving contributions.
Throughout the past year, U.S. and European companies, individuals and organizations have navigated local and international regulations to provide aid and grappled with similar moral questions about whether or not to donate to an allied nation’s defense.
Markov said he contributed to buying equipment for Ukraine's frontline defenders as an individual. And he points out that items like drones and pickup trucks may not usually be considered military equipment before asking, “Guess how they’re used?”
“It could be used to just carry food. It could be used to carry munitions,” he said of the vehicles, adding that Ukrainian fighters have been creative in using whatever equipment they have. Drones, meanwhile, have become an essential tool in the fighting.
Under U.S. laws, nonprofits are not allowed to donate to people in combat, said New Yok attorney, Daniel Kurtz, a partner at Pryor Cashman.
“You can’t support war fighting, can’t support killing people, even if it’s killing the bad guys," he said. "It’s not consistent with the law of charity.”
But he doubts that the IRS will examine donations to Ukraine — in part for reasons of capacity, but also because of the political support for Ukraine's government.
“While I’m sure some of them are carefully lawyered, there’s enormous pressure to provide this support,” he said of nonprofits. “So my guess is probably a lot of people are just going ahead and doing it.”
The reality, as described by some nonprofit leaders, is that everyone in Ukraine is fighting to defend the country, from children to an 80-year-old Holocaust survivor.
“It’s better to call them people who defend our state with weapons and people who bring them the bullets,” said Serhiy Prytula, founder of the Prytula Charity Foundation, a Ukraine-based organization that calls itself a charity but does not offer a tax advantage to donors.
He was testifying in front of a federal commission that includes members of Congress in December, along with nonprofit leaders including Dora Chomiak, president of Razom for Ukraine, a nonprofit based in New York that has seen the contributions it receives jump from around $200,000 a year to at least $75 million in 2022.
“We’re open. Our aid and our medical equipment and our communications equipment are going to people who are defending the country,” Chomiak said in a recent interview, speaking from Lviv, Ukraine.
Though it has delivered more than a thousand drones, her organization ruled out fundraising for military equipment because it did not fit into the organization’s charitable mission, Chomiak said. Changing that mission and getting the necessary licenses would have detracted from more immediately impactful actions, she said, such as delivering tens of thousands of specialized first aid kits to the frontlines and lobbying Congress to support Ukraine’s government. A Razom spokesperson said all its new work is in line with its charitable mission.
Companies too, which have given some of the largest publicly known donations to Ukraine, must also consider to what extent their donations are directly supporting Ukraine's war effort. Microsoft Corp. has donated at least $430 million in services and cash in 2022. That doesn't include the cybersecurity services it has provided to Ukraine’s government and some private sector groups.
Tom Burt, a Microsoft vice president, said he set up direct, encrypted communication channels with senior cybersecurity officials in Ukraine before the war began and continues to communicate with them regularly. At the start of the war, Microsoft helped move all the government’s digital infrastructure from physical servers in the country into the cloud. The company also helps protect Ukrainian devices and software from Russian cyber intrusions and attacks that are often coordinated with physical military campaigns.
“It’s possible, of course, that some of those devices are being used by the military or by logistics organizations, both government and private sector, to provide both humanitarian aid and military supplies and equipment,” Burt told The Associated Press. “That’s not really our role to get engaged in that.”
While supporting the Ukrainian government, Microsoft has learned a great deal about malware used by Russian-aligned groups.
“That’s helping us build even more secure products and services for all of our customers. But the fundamental reason that we’re doing this is because we think it’s the right thing to do,” Burt said.
So far, the company has agreed to continue providing its services at no cost to Ukraine through 2023. But it's possible that, at some point, Ukraine will turn into a paying customer when the war ends.
Dana Brakman Reiser, a professor at Brooklyn Law School who has co-written a recent book about changing trends in corporate giving, said there are many examples of companies using philanthropic activity for business development, to market their brand or as a motivation for employees.
“They’re saying, ‘This is philanthropic.’ And that’s a very subjective assessment. It may be largely philanthropic. It may have some business development and benefit for the company, especially in a very long-term sense,” she said. “We’ll have to look back and know in the future.”
As a case in point, SpaceX initially donated Starlink satellite systems, which Ukraine now relies on for internet connectivity. But, in October, CEO Elon Musk complained about the $20 million monthly cost of operating the system. Recent security assistance approved by Congress likely includes funding for Starlink.
Earlier this month, SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell said the company had taken steps to limit the Ukrainian military's use of the satellite internet service saying, "It was never intended to be weaponized."
SpaceX did not respond to requests for comment about whether it was still donating its services or whether it had restricted the Ukrainian military's use of Starlink.
Individuals in the U.S. have fundraised or even fought in conflicts in which the government was not a party, said Andrew Morris, who teaches history at Union College. Before the U.S. entered World War II, Japanese-Americans were one among several immigrant groups that fundraised and sent aid back to their countries of origin, including packages directly to Japanese soldiers.
“It’s not guns but it’s going directly to the military," he said. "Is that a distinction without a difference?”
The U.S. government eventually saw such relief efforts as evidence of Japanese disloyalty when they interred whole communities after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. At a similar time, the U.S. government tolerated the work of another group that shipped weapons to Britain's home guard, who were ill-equipped, despite the U.S. being formally neutral at the time, Morris said.
“I think that makes it a lot easier for this private sector, voluntary donations to flow in the direction that U.S. foreign policy is,” he said, though in general the government has discouraged individuals from pursuing their own foreign policy objectives.
Other major public donations to Ukraine appear entirely humanitarian, like the $103.5 million gift from Nobel Peace Prize winner and Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov to UNICEF to support children displaced by the war.
Similarly, the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, which has a mission to support around 10,000 Holocaust survivors in Ukraine, many of whom are now in their eighties and nineties, said it took great care to track the food, water and medicine it has sent into the country since the war.
Because of its special mission and obligations, the organization pre-positioned supplies and set up contacts with Ukrainian Holocaust survivors before Russia’s invasion, Greg Schneider, executive vice president of the Claims Conference said.
“Most of the funding comes from the German government through us. So, we get the money and then, we have to report,” he said. “So, it’s very clear to us that it doesn’t cross over into any non-humanitarian efforts.”
Nova Ukraine is preparing its tax filings to submit to the IRS, which Markov said was difficult and complicated because of the breadth of activities that the organization had undertaken. Nonprofits like his are able to pivot more quickly than larger organizations or the Ukrainian government to meet rapidly changing needs, he said, which is why they chose to take on everything from caring for animals to food aid to sourcing medicines.
“Because, you know, these things are not done otherwise,” he said.

Chicago boy, 7, drowns after being swept away in Lake Michigan along Indiana shoreline
PORTAGE, Ind. (AP) — A 7-year-old Chicago boy drowned after he was swept away while playing in Lake Michigan along northwestern Indiana’s shoreline during hazardous beach conditions, authorities said Friday.
The boy was pulled from the lake Thursday evening in Porter County and taken to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources said.
An autopsy was completed Friday morning and the boy’s cause of death was ruled an accidental drowning, the DNR said in a news release. His name was not released, pending notification of relatives.
The DNR said the boy was reported missing about 4:50 p.m. CDT Thursday in waters near the Portage Lakefront and Riverwalk Beach. Responders from multiple agencies found him about 20 minutes later near Ogden Dunes.
The DNR said the child was playing in waist-deep water before he entered deeper water. A witness reported that it appeared the child was caught in a current that pulled him away from shore.
A relative who entered the water to try to rescue the boy also got caught in a current and lost sight of the child. The DNR said a beach hazard statement from the National Weather Service was in effect at the time of the incident, which Indiana conservation officers continue to investigate.

KNOX COUNTY, Tenn. (WATE) — A Knoxville, Tennessee, woman is accused of hiring a hitman through the dark web to murder the wife of a man she met on the internet dating website Match.com, according to a criminal complaint filed in court.
In the complaint dated May 11, a Homeland Security agent wrote that Melody Sasser allegedly hired the hitman through a site called “Online Killers Market” on Jan. 11. The “order for murder” had a description that said the hitman was to kill a woman in Prattville, Alabama, according to the complaint.
“It needs to seem random or accident. Or plant drugs, do not want a long investigation,” the description read, as described in the documents. The description went on to include even more details about the victim and her husband’s vehicles and jobs.
The Homeland Security agent received information on the alleged plot from a foreign law enforcement agency on April 27. Agents in Birmingham, Alabama, informed local police and the victim of the threat to her life.
During the investigation, it was discovered that Sasser and the victim’s husband met through Match.com, according to the documents.
The victim told authorities her husband and Sasser were hiking friends in Knoxville before he moved to Alabama. After he moved, Sasser allegedly traveled to his Prattville, Alabama, residence unannounced in the fall of 2022 after the man told Sasser he was engaged to the victim.
The complaint said Sasser responded that she hoped he and the victim both “fall off a cliff and die.”
In addition, the complaint also details other alleged harassment the victim was subjected to, including damages to her vehicle and threatening phone calls.
Throughout the investigation, the complaint said agents linked Sasser to the account that made the “order for murder” on “Online Killers Market” through Bitcoin purchases that were used to send money to the account. While the deposits listed in the document only total approximately $3,758.67, the total of the “order” was $9,750.
The complaint said Coinhub ATMs take photos of every user during each transaction, and photos from an ATM linked to specific transactions matched Sasser’s Tennessee driver’s license picture and her Facebook profile picture. Additionally, the phone number used to identify the customer at the ATM also matched the phone number Sasser listed on her driver’s license and in her contact information with the Knoxville Utilities Board. The photos and phone number were provided to Homeland Security Investigations by Coinhub, the complaint said.
Sasser is expected to appear in federal court in Knoxville on Thursday. | 2023-06-05T16:32:51+00:00 | cbs4indy.com | https://cbs4indy.com/news/national-world/woman-accused-of-hiring-hitman-to-kill-wife-of-man-she-met-on-match-com/ |
MARQUETTE COUNTY, Mich. (WJMN) – On Saturday, May 13, letter carriers will help Stamp Out Hunger across America, but they need your help.
Here’s how it works: leave a sturdy bag containing non-perishable foods, such as canned soup, canned vegetables, pasta, rice or cereal next to your mailbox prior to the time of regular mail delivery on May 13. Food items should be in non-breakable containers, such as boxes and cans. Local letter carriers will collect the donations from homes across the county. The food will be delivered to various Marquette food pantries including Salvation Army, St Vincent de Paul, Room at the Inn, Janzen House, and the Women’s Center.
“It’s an easy thing to do, and the need is just so great, you know,” said Andrew Rickauer, executive director of the United Way of Marquette County. “Food pantries were stocked over the holidays. They’ve been since depleted and so now it’s time to get them restocked and take care of local neighbors and friends. And then the need just continues to increase too, especially with coming out of the pandemic. A lot of the assistance programs are ending, inflation is on the rise. So, the needs just keep increasing. So, it’s important, if you can put out one can, you know, a bag full of cans you know any anything helps.”
The Stamp Out Hunger effort has been going on for 30 years and is the nation’s largest single-day food drive. Letter carriers have collected more than 1.82 billion pounds of food from postal customers.

~National Sexual Abuse Law firm urges others to come forward~
HARRISBURG, Pa., March 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- On March 13th, 2023, Andreozzi + Foote filed a lawsuit against the Philadelphia School District,Tyree Dumas, Dollar Boyz, Inc. aka DollarBoyz, and Y-Not (Youth Now on Top). The lawsuit alleges the School District and the other defendants were negligent, careless, and reckless in their failure to protect children under their direct care from Howard Rubin, the Philadelphia school police officer, who pled guilty to child sexual abuse offenses in 2021.
The lawsuit names Howard Rubin as the perpetrator of the child sexual abuse against John Doe, the firm's client in the lawsuit. Rubin, now a well-known sex offender, was a former Philadelphia school police officer, once called the "Hip-Hop Cop For the Stars." Rubin's role with the School District and the other defendants gave him access to children even after he had a well-known history of child sexual abuse allegations.
As far back as 2014, it was being publicly reported that Rubin was accused of child sexual abuse. That year, Rubin was fired from a school where he then worked due to the allegations. Years later, Rubin was finally charged for the abuse. Now, Rubin is serving a lengthy prison term.
Stated Nathaniel Foote, the victim's attorney: "Howard Rubin is a monster who used his role as a youth mentor and school police officer to gain access to and groom children for abuse. Thankfully, he was eventually prosecuted and put in prison. However, over many years, the organizations and schools with which Rubin was affiliated knew about allegations against him but failed to stop him. This lawsuit seeks to hold everyone accountable who failed to stop Rubin before it was too late."
It is believed there are many other children abused by Howard Rubin who have not yet come forward, as indicated during a press conference by Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner last Wednesday, March 8, 2023. Andreozzi + Foote urges those victims to come forward to seek justice by contacting the District Attorney's Office, or Andreozzi + Foote.
Andreozzi + Foote is a leading law firm representing victims of abuse against powerful organizations like school districts.

A bill to conserve endangered species — from the red-cockaded woodpecker to the snuffbox mussel — was passed by the U.S. House in a 231-to-190 vote on Tuesday.
The Recovering America's Wildlife Act would create an annual fund of more than $1.3 billion, given to states, territories, and tribal nations for wildlife conservation on the ground. While threatened species have been defined and protected under the Endangered Species Act since 1973, that law does not provide robust funding to proactively maintain their numbers.
The effort comes as scientists and international organizations sound the alarm about accelerating species decline.
"Too many people don't realize ... that roughly one-third of our wildlife is at increased risk of extinction," said lead House sponsor Debbie Dingell, a Democrat from Michigan, echoing a recent study about climate change.
In the United States, there are more than 1,600 endangered or threatened species, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, but state agencies have identified more than 7 times that number in need of conservation assistance in their wildlife action plans.
"The bottom line is, when we save wildlife we save for ourselves," said Collin O'Mara, CEO of the National Wildlife Federation, which supports the bill. He said species loss threatens everything from the insects that pollinate plants in the food chain, to sea life that helps to insulate coastlines from storm surge.
The bill would amend a 1937 law, the Pittman-Robertson Act, which was passed in response to dwindling game and waterfowl species. That law allows states to tax hunting supplies to pay for wildlife and habitat restoration, but that money is not enough to do the same for non-game species, according to the Pew Charitable Trusts.
The act would also invest more in conservation than the existing program for threatened non-game species, called the State Wildlife Grant Program, which awarded states a total of $56 million this year.
One major stumbling block remains: how to pay for this investment.
Supporters continue to hash out the details, while critics such as Rep. Bruce Westerman (R-AR) called the current draft "regrettably flawed" because it would create a new permanent spending program. He urged members to vote against it.
The bill would require that 15% of all conservation money go to restoring populations of federally-listed endangered species.
On Monday, the White House released a statement, saying it "strongly supports" the goals of the bill.
Companion legislation in the Senate has 16 GOP co-sponsors.

WILLIAMSBURG, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky university has agreed to a settlement of more than $14 million over the death of a student wrestler during practice, the institution said in a statement.
The settlement reached Wednesday over the death of 20-year-old Grant Brace of Louisville, Tennessee, includes an agreement for the University of the Cumberlands to participate in a heat-illness training program and to help raise awareness of heat-related injuries, news outlets reported, citing a statement from the university.
Brace’s death on August 31, 2020 from heat stroke after he begged for water and was refused “was tragic and entirely avoidable,” the lawsuit said.
Brace was diagnosed with narcolepsy and ADHD and was prescribed Adderall which requires maintaining hydration, according to the lawsuit.
He died during the wrestling team’s first training day of the season. After practice, the team had to sprint multiple times up and down a steep hill and Brace completed several before sitting down from exhaustion. The coach threatened to kick Brace off the wrestling team, so he ran up the hill again and was later heard saying “I’m done. I can’t do this anymore,” the lawsuit said.
He begged for water and his condition continued to deteriorate, but the coaches didn’t provide water or contact the trainer or emergency medical personnel, according to the lawsuit. Brace left and tried to drink from an outdoor water fountain that was not working. He also tried to get into a building but could not, and he collapsed. About 45 minutes later, the coaches found him dead with his hands clenched in the grass and dirt, according to the suit.
The university said in a statement that it believed it could defend the claims asserted in the lawsuit, but “the legal process would have been long, difficult, and costly, ending years from now in a trial with an uncertain outcome.”
It said the safety of students and athletes is a top priority and it “welcomes the opportunity to work with the Brace family’s consultant to ensure it is providing the safest environment possible for student-athletes in all sports.” | 2023-03-16T15:57:43+00:00 | seattletimes.com | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/university-agrees-to-14m-settlement-in-wrestlers-death/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all |
Company Emerges from Stealth Mode with More Than $20 Million in Seed Financing and Fully Funded Development Alliances with Bayer and Lantheus
BOSTON, June 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ratio Therapeutics Inc. today announced its launch with a mission to develop best-in-class targeted radiopharmaceuticals for the treatment of cancers. Founded by entrepreneurial scientists Jack Hoppin, Ph.D., and John Babich, Ph.D., Ratio emerges from stealth mode with more than $20 million in seed funding, fully funded development alliances with Bayer AG and Lantheus Holdings Inc., a robust portfolio of assets developed with two proprietary technologies, and a growing team of world-class experts in radiopharmaceuticals discovery and development. The company's near-term plans call for the submission of its first investigational new drug (IND) applications, which are expected this quarter, and the initiation of clinical trials later this year. Based in Boston, Ratio is set to move to a new 19,000-square-foot headquarters and research facility in the Seaport District in January.
Ratio's radiopharmaceuticals strategy is focused on optimizing tumor localization while minimizing uptake by normal tissues. To achieve this, the company uses its proprietary technology platform called Trillium™ that is based on Dr. Babich's prior research at Weill-Cornell Medical College and first developed and validated by the founders in a previous venture. Trillium is a trifunctional small molecule scaffold that can be fine-tuned to alter its plasma clearance, target affinity and therapeutic payload. Each component of the scaffolding can be independently optimized to boost tumor uptake over normal tissue uptake, thereby maximizing therapeutic index. Ratio has successfully applied this framework to several tumor targets and multiple therapeutic payloads.
In addition, Ratio is developing a technology platform to take advantage of the tumor killing power of the alpha emitter, Actinium-225. This proprietary technology is called the Macropa™ chelate platform. Ratio's scientists have already successfully incorporated Macropa into the Trillium platform as well as several peptides and antibodies. Macropa's unique chemistry enables ease of manufacture and robust in vitro and in vivo stability of the resulting radiotherapeutic compound.
"The ability to fine-tune our targeted radiotherapeutics using Trillium and Macropa enables us to address head-on the trifecta of typical challenges we see with most radiopharmaceuticals: delivery, safety and efficacy," said Dr. Babich, Ratio's President and Chief Scientific Officer. "Over the past year, we have generated significant preclinical data that demonstrate our ability to create excellent performing drug candidates that now are advancing into the clinic. Our goal is to become the partner of choice for pharmaceutical companies committed to this area of cancer therapy by enabling the optimization of a broad array of targeting compounds. We will shepherd these therapies through early clinical studies on our own or in collaboration."
Dr. Hoppin, Ratio's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, added, "Targeted radiotherapy is an exciting and emerging field where chemistry meets physics meets medicine. We have assembled and will continue to build a world-class interdisciplinary team of researchers and developers with a singular focus on delivering these treatments to cancer patients. It isn't often that a start-up company has in place the early financial backing and industry support to advance entirely new drug discoveries to clinical development at this pace. It is with great pride that we announce our formal launch and exit from stealth mode."
In collaboration with Bayer, Ratio has leveraged its Trillium platform for the identification of lead prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted therapeutic compounds for prostate cancer. At the same time, Ratio is working with Lantheus to develop a lead fibroblast activation protein (FAP)-targeted PET diagnostic compound for a broad array of epithelial-derived cancers, such as breast, pancreatic, lung and stomach cancer. Both collaborations are fully funded and reflect the types of partnerships that Ratio is currently pursuing with other companies.

KEENE, N.H. (AP) — The husband of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Thursday he hasn't heard from Mike Pence since the former vice president mocked his family but will continue to hold him accountable for his words.
Chasten Buttigieg was asked on ABC's "The View" whether Pence contacted him after joking at a dinner for journalists and politicians that Pete Buttigieg took "maternity leave" after he and his husband adopted newborn twins.
"Pete is the only person in human history to have a child and everyone else gets postpartum depression," Pence said Saturday at the Gridiron Dinner.
Chasten Buttigieg, who said he doesn't expect to hear from Pence, called the remarks "part of a much bigger trend attacking families."
"I spoke up because we all have an obligation to hold people accountable for when they say something wrong, especially when it's misogynistic, especially when it's homophobic, and I just don't take that when it's towards my family, and I don't think anyone else would, especially when you bring a very small, medically fragile child into it," he said.
Pence defended his comments Thursday night after speaking at a Republican Party dinner in New Hampshire.
"The Gridiron Dinner is a roast. I had a lot of jokes directed to me, and I directed a lot of jokes to Republicans and Democrats," he told reporters. "The only thing I can figure is Pete Buttigieg not only can't do his job, but he can't take a joke." | 2023-03-17T03:08:13+00:00 | news5cleveland.com | https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/national/pence-defends-joke-about-buttigieg-maternity-leave |
GE reveals identity of 3 companies after historic split
(AP) - General Electric on Monday revealed the names of the three companies that will operate on their own after the historic split of the one-time conglomerate, including a mashup of words that will make up the name of the new energy company.
GE announced in November that it planned to split into three companies focused on aviation, health care and energy.
The name of the aviation business that will essentially be the remaining core of GE, headed by CEO Larry Culp, will be called GE Aerospace.
The energy wing, including GE Renewable Energy, GE Power, GE Digital, and GE Energy Financial Services, will be called GE Vernova.
“The new name is a combination of ‘ver,’ derived from ‘verde’ and ‘verdant’ to signal the greens and blues of the Earth, and ‘nova,’ from the Latin ‘novus,’ or ‘new,’ reflecting a new and innovative era of lower carbon energy that GE Vernova will help deliver,” the company said Monday.
The healthcare business will be named GE Healthcare.
The split is the culmination of years of paring by the massive American conglomerate that signaled a shift away from a corporate structure that dominated U.S. business for decades.
The company has already rid itself of the products most Americans know it for, including its appliances, and in 2020, the light bulbs that GE had been making since the late 19th century when the company was founded.
The breakup marks the apogee of those efforts, divvying up an empire created in the 1980s under Jack Welch, one of America’s first CEO “superstars.”
The company said Monday that GE HealthCare will be listed on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “GEHC.” GE plans a tax-free spin-off of the business early next year.
GE Vernova is exected to be spun off in early 2024. Once the spinoffs are complete, GE will be an aviation-focused company that will own the GE trademark and provide long-term licenses to the other companies.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — The leaders of Estonia and Finland want fellow European countries to stop issuing tourist visas to Russian citizens, saying they should not be able to take vacations in Europe while the Russian government carries out a war in Ukraine.
Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas wrote Tuesday on Twitter that “visiting Europe is a privilege, not a human right” and that it is “time to end tourism from Russia now.”
A day earlier, her counterpart in Finland, Sanna Marin, told Finnish broadcaster YLE that “it is not right that while Russia is waging an aggressive, brutal war of aggression in Europe, Russians can live a normal life, travel in Europe, be tourists.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy went further in a Washington Post interview Monday, saying all Western countries should ban Russian tourists.
Estonia and Finland both border Russia and are members of the European Union, which banned air travel from Russia after it invaded Ukraine. But Russians can still travel by land to both countries and apparently are then taking flights to other European destinations.
The calls for a travel ban have sparked outrage within Russia, from both the Kremlin and its critics. Opposition-minded public figures condemned the comments in social media posts as fueling Moscow’s anti-Western propaganda and being unhelpful in stopping the war.
“I think that over time, common sense will somehow manifest itself, and those who made such statements will come to their senses,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday.
YLE reported last week that Russian companies have started offering car trips from St. Petersburg to the airports of Helsinki and Lappeenranta in Finland, which have direct connections to several places in Europe. Russia’s second-largest city is about 300 kilometers (186 miles) from the Finnish capital.
Visas issued by Finland are valid across most of Europe’s travel zone, known as the “Schengen area” which is made up of 26 countries: 22 EU nations plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. Normally, people and goods move freely between these countries without border checks. Nineteen other countries outside this travel area allow in foreigners using a Schengen visa.
Finland just resumed accepting applications for tourist visas in Russia on July 1, lifting monthslong travel restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Some EU countries no longer issue visas to Russians, including Latvia, which made that decision this month because of the war.
The visa issue is expected be discussed at an informal meeting of EU foreign ministers on Aug. 31, YLE reported.
“I would believe that in future European Council meetings, this issue will come up even more strongly. My personal position is that tourism should be restricted,” Marin told the Finnish broadcaster.
Peskov on Tuesday said calls for travel bans are usually coming from countries that Moscow has already deemed “hostile” and “many of those countries in their hostility sink into oblivion.”
Putin’s close associate and deputy head of Russia’s Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, dismissed the Estonian premier’s statement, adding ominously: “I just want to remind her of another saying: ‘The fact that you are free is not your merit, but our flaw.’”
Zelenskyy told The Washington Post that “the most important sanctions are to close the borders” for Russian travelers, “because the Russians are taking away someone else’s land.”
Russians should “live in their own world until they change their philosophy,” Zelenskyy said, adding that such restrictions should apply to all Russians, even those who left the country and oppose the war.
It’s contrasts with what he said in March, a month after Moscow sent troops into Ukraine, when he urged Russians to leave the country to avoid funding the war with their taxes.
Asked about Zelenskyy’s remarks, Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, called them a “statement … that speaks for itself,” which Moscow views “extremely negatively.”

Honda Motor Co. and LG Energy Solution on Monday announced plans to establish a joint venture company for making lithium-ion battery cells in the U.S. that will power “Honda and Acura EV models for the North American market,” according to the companies.
The joint-venture plant will represent a combined investment of $4.4 billion and aims for a capacity of 40 gigawatt-hours per year. It will make pouch-type cells, to be supplied “exclusively to Honda facilities in North America,” a release from the companies said.
That point underscores an important distinction as the company shifts toward a future electric vehicle lineup. Although the upcoming Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX electric vehicles will be based on General Motors’ Ultium battery ecosystem and separate Ultium Cells LLC joint venture with LG, the next generation of Honda EVs will be built on Honda’s own EV architecture, said to be arriving in the first vehicles in 2026.
It appears the joint venture will fit right in with that timeline. The two companies plan to start construction—at a location not yet announced—in early 2023, with the start of mass production for cells by the end of 2025.
The scale of the Honda platform could span beyond just Honda and Acura vehicles, ultimately. Honda hasn’t yet revealed whether EVs from a new joint venture with Sony will use the same building blocks, and details from the joint venture itself have been scant.
Honda president and CEO Toshihiro Mibe said that the move is “aligned with our longstanding commitment to build products close to the customer.” Honda assembles many of its vehicles for the U.S. in North America—including engines.
The move also fits with the much stricter raw materials and supply-chain requirements to be put in place as part of eligibility for the EV tax credit and its reboot set in motion by the recent Inflation Reduction Act.
The companies did not confirm any similarities or differences between the Ultium Cells LLC products and those from the future Honda-LG venture. GM’s Ultium pouch cells are the largest such cells currently used in electric vehicles, so if Honda wants a format that could translate easily to small cars or sports cars for other markets, it might opt for a smaller form factor.

Global investment group CDPQ will take an approximately 22% stake in Jebel Ali Port, Jebel Ali Free Zone and the National Industries Park
UAE assets valued at approximately US$23 billion1
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates and MONTRÉAL, June 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - DP World, a global infrastructure-led supply chain solutions provider, and CDPQ, a global investment group, announced today an investment of US$5 billion (CA$6.3 billion) in three of DP World's flagship UAE assets.
CDPQ will invest US$2.5 billion in the Jebel Ali Port, the Jebel Ali Free Zone and the National Industries Park through a new joint venture in which it will hold a stake of approximately 22%2, with the remainder of the transaction being financed by debt. Other long-term investors will have the opportunity to acquire an additional stake of up to US$3 billion. The transaction implies a total enterprise value of approximately US$23 billion for the three assets.
The Jebel Ali Port, Free Zone and National Industries Park together comprise a best-in-class group of infrastructure with a solid long-term track record of growth. Combined, they form a world-class integrated ecosystem for the supply and logistics chains of over 8,700 companies from around the world, serving more than 3.5 billion people globally. The three assets generated pro-forma 2021 revenue of US$1.9 billion.
- Jebel Ali Port (JAP) — A leading international gateway port and the second largest outside of Asia, ideally located to serve the East-West trade corridor through its connectivity to 150 cities globally via 180+ shipping lanes.
- Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZ) — The largest free zone in the Middle East and one of the largest in the world. It is home to companies from 140 countries, including approximately 150 Fortune 500 enterprises.
- National Industries Park (NIP) — A 21 sq. km area designated for manufacturing and processing companies.
The three assets will remain fully consolidated businesses within the DP World Group and day-to-day operations, customers, service providers and employees will not be affected.
Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO, DP World, said: "We are delighted to announce the broadening of our partnership with CDPQ. The DP World and CDPQ co-investments have been very successful thanks to our complementary expertise and long-term investment horizon. We believe this new partnership will enhance our assets and allow us to capture the significant growth potential of the wider region. The transaction3 also achieves our objective of reducing DP World's net leverage to below 4x Net Debt to EBITDA and this has been achieved despite the challenges of the pandemic and recent global economic conditions. The significant strengthening of our balance sheet, the continued resilience of our business, diversity in our portfolio and continued focus on supply chain solutions will support our target of achieving a strong investment-grade rating for the Group. Overall, we believe this transaction provides a strong platform for the UAE assets to meet their long-term growth objectives, while the stronger balance sheet supports the Group's wider end-to-end supply chain solution strategy, which will drive sustainable value for all DP World stakeholders."
Emmanuel Jaclot, Executive Vice-President and Head of Infrastructure at CDPQ, said: "This investment in Jebel Ali is another great illustration of the partnership between CDPQ and DP World, which now spans four continents and eighteen terminals. Today, we are pleased to deepen our long-standing relationship with a world-class logistics and supply chain operator by investing in this strategic trade infrastructure, one that will play a pivotal role in the evolution of the global economy. DP World is well positioned to provide innovative solutions to their customers worldwide, and we welcome this opportunity to invest in a best-in-class group of infrastructure that provides CDPQ with exposure to new fast-growing markets and trade routes in Africa and South Asia."
Tranche 1 (US$5 billion) of the transaction is expected to close in the second or third quarter of 2022, and tranche 2 (up to US$3 billion) is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2022.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Dutch farmers resumed protests at government plans to reduce nitrogen emissions Wednesday by dumping manure and garbage on highways and setting fires alongside roads.
The latest demonstrations in a summer of discontent came a day after a government-appointed mediator sent invitations to farmers’ organizations to discuss with the country’s ruling coalition ways of reducing nitrogen emissions.
“I see the talks as a turning point: breaking the deadlock together,” mediator Johan Remkes said. “The cabinet has assured me that there is room and joint solutions are possible.”
Some farmers have rejected the appointment of Remkes as an independent mediator because he is a member of Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s center-right political party and a former deputy prime minister.
The farmers are angry at government targets for reining in emissions of nitrogen oxide and ammonia that they say threatens to wreck their agricultural way of life and put them out of business.
The government says emissions of nitrogen oxide and ammonia, which livestock produce, must be drastically reduced close to nature areas that are part of a network of protected habitats for endangered plants and wildlife stretching across the 27-nation European Union.
The ruling coalition wants to cut emissions of pollutants by 50% nationwide by 2030, calling the measure an “unavoidable transition” to improve soil, air and water quality in a nation known for its intensive farming practices. It has called on provincial authorities to draw up plans to reduce emissions and earmarked an extra 24.3 billion euros ($24.6 billion) to fund the changes.
Farmers argue that they are being unfairly targeted while other industries, such as aviation, construction and transport, also are contributing to emissions and face less far-reaching rules. They also say the government is not giving them a clear picture of their futures amid the proposed reforms.
Earlier this year, the farmers blocked highways with tractors and blockaded supermarket distribution centers. | 2022-07-27T08:22:23+00:00 | washingtonpost.com | https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/protesting-dutch-farmers-dump-manure-garbage-on-roads/2022/07/27/f3d550a6-0d7a-11ed-88e8-c58dc3dbaee2_story.html |
ATLANTA (AP)Ronald Acuna Jr. was playing the ”Call of Duty” video game when he got an unexpected FaceTime call at 1 a.m.
Atlanta Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos wanted to know if Acuna was ready to play.
Not another rehab game in Triple-A, mind you.
Anthopoulos was talking about a return to the big leagues.
”Oh yeah,” Acuna replied. ”Let’s go! Right now!”
One of baseball’s most dynamic players came off the injury list Thursday, a week ahead of schedule and less than 10 month after he sustained a major knee injury.
Acuna was immediately inserted into the Braves lineup, taking his familiar leadoff spot and playing right field against the Chicago Cubs. He received a big ovation from the Truist Park crowd as he headed to right, and another standing ovation when he batted for the first time in the majors in 292 days.
Acuna went 1 for 5 with a pair of stolen bases and a nifty defensive play in Atlanta’s 5-1 victory. His lone hit was a soft, opposite-field single to right in the seventh inning.
”I was just extremely excited,” he said through Braves interpreter Franco Garcia. ”I think the adrenaline level was at a maximum.”
Kyle Wright stole a bit of the spotlight, pitching three-hit ball over seven innings in another dominant performance. But he conceded that Acuna’s mere presence was a boost to the struggling team.
”I never saw him at the field when I was doing my preparation,” Wright said. ”But you could just feel a little bit different energy.”
Defensively, Acuna made a nice play on a carom off the right-field fence to hold Jason Heyward to a single.
”It really was a long, difficult process,” Acuna said. ”I’m just really excited to be back.”
The Braves are certainly excited to have him back. The reigning World Series champions are off to a sluggish start, winning just nine of their first 20 games to fall five games behind the NL East-leading New York Mets.
Acuna was one of the league’s leading MVP contenders when he completely tore the ACL in his right knee last July 10. He landed awkwardly while attempting to make a catch on the warning track at Miami’s Marlins Park.
At the time, Acuna was hitting .283 with 24 homers, 52 RBIs, 17 stolen bases and a .990 OPS in 82 games.
”What he can do offensively, defensively, on the bases, he’s a game changer,” said third baseman Austin Riley, who was one of the players who came up big for the Braves after Acuna went down. ”To have him back in the lineup is huge.”
Acuna had tears in his eyes when he was carted off the field in South Florida.
He was nothing but smiles Thursday, arriving at the ballpark wearing a yellow Atlanta Hawks jersey with Trae Young’s name and No. 11 on it.
Young was one of the athletes who texted Acuna to wish him well in his return to the Braves.
It was initially thought the Braves would limit Acuna to designated hitter duties early in his return, lessening the chances of reinjuring the knee, but his performance at Triple-A Gwinnett eased any concerns.
Acuna was 2 for 5 in his final game of the rehab stint Wednesday night and hit .368 with three stolen bases in six Triple-A games.
”He’s done everything,” manager Brian Snitker said. ”He’s stolen bases, he’s diving back into bases, he’s sliding, he’s made plays in the outfield There’s no limitations at all.”
The only concession to the injury will be Acuna’s schedule. He won’t play on days the Braves travel, and he won’t play day games after night games. Also, he’ll be restricted to right field when he plays the field – no more center field, at least for now – and the universal DH gives the Braves some flexibility to keep him in the lineup without having to pick up a glove.
Snitker said the plan is to give Acuna regular days off until he’s a full year removed from the injury in July. He’s not scheduled to play Friday at Texas, though Acuna jokingly balked at that prospect.
”I don’t know who said the plan is for me not to play,” he said, bursting into laughter. ”The way I’m looking at it, I’m playing tomorrow.”
Even if he’s not able to play every day, Acuna’s mere presence should be a huge boost to the struggling Braves. He’s a two-time All-Star who won Rookie of the Year honors in 2018 and followed up with 41 homers, 101 RBIs and 37 stolen bases in 2019.
Acuna was on the way to another stellar season when he tore up his knee, which meant he could only watch as the Braves – after spending much of the season under .500 – improbably captured their first World Series title since 1995.
He is eager to be part of a championship on the field.
”It motivates me for this year, and will motivate me for years to come,” Acuna said. ”Obviously, it’s not the same being able to play in the World Series as it is to just watch it from the dugout nursing an injury. That’s obviously the dream that every kid has growing up, wanting to play in a World Series.”
He added, confidently, ”There will be more World Series to come.”
If anything, Acuna’s feels he’s gotten even faster than he was before the injury. He hopes to be even more of a threat on the basepaths, which certainly showed in his first game back with those two stolen bases, one of which came on the back end of a double steal.
”Throughout the entire rehabilitation process, there was an added focus on my legs and developing those muscles,” he said. ”I think I can add speed there. I’m coming in with the intention of running a little bit more.”
The Braves designated outfielder Alex Dickerson for assignment to clear a spot on the active roster.
The decision to reinstate Acuna came after the Braves lost Eddie Rosario for eight to 12 weeks.
The MVP of the NL Championship Series last season, Rosario had a laser procedure Wednesday to correct blurred vision and swelling in his right eye.
Acuna said he’s not concerned about Atlanta’s slow start.
”It’s not how you start,” he said. ”It’s how you finish.”
For Acuna, it starts now.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The new top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday called for more information about the classified records discovered in the private possession of President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.
Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut was named the committee’s ranking member Wednesday by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Along with Ohio Rep. Mike Turner, the committee’s new Republican chairman, Himes will lead a panel that has been split by highly political fights in a break from its traditionally quieter oversight of the U.S. spy agencies.
Turner and the leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee have in recent weeks pushed the White House to share more in private about the classified material found. The U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence has declined to comment on its review of classified material, which is also the subject of multiple Justice Department investigations.
“There’s a strong bipartisan concern that Congress is not being briefed on even preliminary reviews of classified information that might have been exposed,” Himes said in an interview Wednesday with The Associated Press. “That’s wrong. That’s wrong as a matter of law.”
The intelligence committees already face several major tests this year, from multiple discoveries of top leaders keeping classified documents to the fight over whether to renew foreign surveillance powers used by the FBI, National Security Agency and other spy agencies.
Himes succeeds Rep. Adam Schiff, who was Jeffries’ original pick to lead the Democrats but along with Rep. Eric Swalwell was denied a spot on the panel by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
McCarthy accused Schiff of lying to Americans when he led the Intelligence Committee during the first impeachment of Trump, who was accused of withholding military aid to Ukraine unless President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced an investigation of Biden and his son.
And McCarthy alleged Swalwell was compromised based on his contact with a suspected Chinese spy. Both Schiff and Swalwell denied McCarthy’s allegations and accused him of taking political retribution.
Himes said Republicans had wrongly accused Swalwell of being a security risk and said Schiff had been a strong leader of the panel.
“It’s not that hypocrisy is a new thing to me, but in this case, it obviously removed some real institutional knowledge from the committee, so I was disappointed,” Himes said.
But Himes said he and Turner have a “really good working relationship” and noted that they traveled to Ukraine together last year to meet Zelenskyy.
“When you spend 12 hours on an overnight train together, you get to know each other a little bit,” Himes said. “He’s extremely knowledgeable on a lot of topics, so I’m really looking forward to working with him.”
In the interview, Himes outlined his priorities for the committee as well as his views on Russia and China.
He called on the Biden administration to supply Ukraine with the longer-range missiles it has long sought to fend off Russia, saying the U.S. must prevent the war from becoming a stalemate.
Himes and others say the U.S. should grant Ukrainian requests for the Army Tactical Missile System, known as ATACMS, which use the same launchers as the HIMARS rockets that Kyiv has successfully used but have a range as much as three times greater. U.S. officials have been concerned that Ukraine could use longer-range missiles to strike targets inside Russia and possibly provoke a direct war between Washington and Moscow.
“We’ve done a great job, but that we haven’t pressed the accelerator quite as much as we should have,” he said. “A stalemate is a Russian victory, and that can’t be the ending. So we need to give the Ukrainians the tools they need to continue to push the Russians backwards.”
Himes also called for greater discussion of how a war between Beijing and Taiwan would damage American interests and particularly the U.S. economy, given China’s ownership of U.S. sovereign debt and the business relationships between the two countries. He criticized a recent reported statement by Air Force Gen. Michael Minihan, who predicted in a memo that China and the U.S. could be at war in two years.
“Everybody’s starting to listen to the drums of war and how do we arm and how do we fight,” Himes said. “It’s time to really sober up and think harder about how we avoid a military conflict with China.”

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea took a step toward improving ties with its traditional rival Japan on Monday, announcing a plan to compensate Koreans who performed forced labor during Tokyo’s colonial rule that doesn’t require Japanese companies to contribute to the reparations.
The plan reflects conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol’s push to mend frayed ties with Japan and solidify security cooperation among Seoul, Tokyo and Washington to better cope with North Korea’s nuclear threats. President Joe Biden quickly hailed it as “a groundbreaking new chapter” of cooperation between two of the United States’ closest allies.
The South Korean plan, which relies on money raised in South Korea, drew immediate, domestic backlash from former forced laborers and their supporters. They’ve demanded direct compensation from the Japanese companies and a fresh apology from the Japanese government.
Ties between Seoul and Tokyo have long been complicated by grievances related to Japan’s brutal rule of the Korean Peninsula from 1910 to 1945, when hundreds of thousands of Koreans were mobilized as forced laborers for Japanese companies, or sex slaves at Tokyo’s military-run brothels during World War II.
Many forced laborers are already dead and survivors are in their 90s. Among the 15 victims involved in 2018 South Korean court rulings that ordered two Japanese companies — Nippon Steel and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries — to compensate them, only three are still alive and they are all in their 90s.
South Korean Foreign Minister Park Jin told a televised news conference the victims would be compensated through a local state-run foundation that would be funded by civilian donations. He said South Korea hopes that Japanese companies would also make voluntary contributions to the foundation.
“If we compare it to a glass of water, I think that the glass is more than half full with water. We expect that the glass will be further filled moving forward based on Japan’s sincere response,” Park said.
Later Monday, Yoon called the South Korean step “a determination to move toward future-oriented Korea-Japan ties.” He said both governments must strive to help their relations enter a new era, according to Yoon’s office.
South Korean officials didn’t elaborate on which companies would finance the foundation. But in January, Shim Kyu-sun, chairperson of the Foundation for Victims of Forced Mobilization by Imperial Japan, which would be handling the reparations, said the funds would come from South Korean companies that benefited from a 1965 Seoul-Tokyo treaty that normalized their relations.
The 1965 accord was accompanied by hundreds of millions of dollars in economic aid and loans from Tokyo to Seoul that were used in development projects carried out by major South Korean companies, including POSCO, now a global steel giant. POSCO said Monday that it will actively consider a contribution to the foundation if it receives an official request.
Japan insists all wartime compensation issues were settled under the 1965 treaty, and retaliated for the South Korean court-ordered compensation from the Japanese companies by slapping export controls on chemicals vital to South Korea’s semiconductor industry in 2019.
South Korea, then governed by Yoon’s liberal predecessor Moon Jae-in, accused Japan of weaponizing trade and subsequently threatened to terminate a military intelligence-sharing agreement with Tokyo, a major symbol of their three-way security cooperation with Washington.
Their feuding complicated U.S. efforts to reinforce cooperation with its two key Asian allies in the face of confrontations with China and North Korea. In his statement, Biden said that he looks forward to continuing to enhance the trilateral ties, adding, “Our countries are stronger — and the world is safer and more prosperous — when we stand together.”
Worries about strained Seoul-Tokyo ties have grown in both countries, especially after North Korea last year adopted an escalatory nuclear doctrine and test-launched a barrage of missiles, some of them nuclear-capable that place both countries within striking distance.
On Monday, the U.S. flew a nuclear-capable B-52 bomber to the Korean Peninsula for a joint drill with South Korean warplanes. South Korea’s Defense Ministry said in a statement the B-52’s deployment demonstrated the allies’ “decisive, overwhelming capacities” to deter North Korean aggressions.
During a parliamentary session on Monday, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said he stands by Japan’s previous expression of regrets and apologies over its colonial wrongdoing but said that the restoration of trade ties is a separate issue.
Japanese Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi told reporters that Japan “appreciates” the South Korean announcement as a step to restore good ties, but noted that it doesn’t require contributions from the Japanese companies.
When asked about South Korea’s failure to ensure that the Japanese companies participate in the compensation of forced laborers, Park, the foreign minister, said he doesn’t expect Japan’s government to block “voluntary donations” by its civil sector.
Later Monday, the South Korean and Japanese trade ministries simultaneously announced plans for talks to restore their trade relations. South Korea’s Trade Ministry said it decided to suspend its dispute proceedings with the World Trade Organization over the Japanese trade curbs.
Former forced laborers, their supporters and liberal opposition lawmakers berated the government plan, calling it a diplomatic surrender. About 20-30 activists rallied near Seoul’s Foreign Ministry, blowing horns and shouting slogans, “We condemn (the Yoon government)” and “Withdraw (the announcement).”
Lim Jae-sung, a lawyer for some of the plaintiffs, called the South Korean plan an “absolute win by Japan, which insists it cannot spend 1 yen” on forced laborers. He said lawyers will press ahead with steps aimed at liquidating the Japanese companies’ assets in South Korea to secure the reparations.
The main liberal opposition Democratic Party called on Yoon to immediately stop what it called “a humiliating diplomacy” toward Japan and withdraw its plan.
The opposition to the government’s announcement cast doubts on the prospects to end the disputes. When the Democratic Party led by Moon was in power, it took steps to dissolve a foundation funded by Japan to compensate Korean women forced to work as sex slaves during World War II because it didn’t have the victims’ consent.
Despite the backlash, Yoon has likely decided to press ahead with steps to ease the disputes with Japan to bolster the alliance with the United States because “there is no magic solution that can satisfy everyone,” said Bong Young-shik, an expert at Seoul’s Yonsei Institute for North Korean Studies. He said Yoon likely felt pressure to boost defense against North Korea’s advancing missile threats.
Choi Eun-mi, a Japan expert at South Korea’s Asan Institute for Policy Studies, said it has been obvious that a third-party reimbursement of forced laborers was the only realistic solution for South Korea because there are “fundamental” disagreements with Japan over the 2018 court rulings.
“One might say that the government hurried toward a solution, but the negotiations have been going on for nearly a year and the plaintiffs would have had most to lose if the issue isn’t resolved now,” Choi said.

MT. WASHINGTON, N.H. – Mount Washington, the highest peak in the Northeast, recorded a wind chill of -108.4° Fahrenheit Friday evening–the coldest wind chill in the history of the United States when an arctic air mass hit New England.
According to the Mount Washington Observatory, a new record low air temperature (for February 4th) was recorded on Saturday at -47.2 degrees Fahrenheit at 1:49 AM EST. The previous record for the date was -35 set in 1963.
The low temperature record for February was also broken. Friday’s low was -45.9, beating the old record of -32, also set in 1963.
The wind chill record was broken when wind chills dropped to -108.4° Fahrenheit Friday evening. The previous record was -102.7° Fahrenheit, also set atop Mount Washington.

The all-time record low temperature for Mount Washington still stands at -50 degrees.
Many New England cities broke daily temperature records, including Providence which broke low temperature records on Friday and Saturday.
The 6,288 foot peak of Mount Washington, actually went into the stratosphere Friday evening as the deep cold descended over New England.
“Needless to say, such conditions will pose a great risk to anyone that plans on venturing to the higher summits. With such extreme conditions expected, a wind chill warning will remain in effect through noon on Sunday,” the observatory website reads.
Mount Washington also holds the record for the strongest wind gust recorded on Earth. On April 12, 1934, the wind gusted to 231mph.

BEIRUT (AP) — The Lebanese prime minister on Friday warned that a massive grain silo risks collapse due to an ongoing fire that's expanding amid summer heat and humidity at the Beirut port where a devastating blast two years ago tore through the Mediterranean city.
A fire in one of the port's two silos has been smoldering for the past two weeks due to 800 tons of grain inside fermenting in the hot weather. The government said the fire expanded after flames reached nearby electrical cables.
The ongoing fire and dramatic sight of the smoldering, partially blackened silo is reviving memories and in some cases trauma for survivors of the gigantic explosion that tore through the port two years ago. Experts say one of the silos is already tipping over.
Prime Minister Najib Mikati, who oversees a caretaker government, ordered firefighters and civil defense volunteers to leave the silos for their safety. Civil Defense volunteer Youssef Mallah told The Associated Press that they are still at the port, but have been ordered to stay far from the silos.
The August 2020 blast that damaged the country's main grain silos was caused by hundreds of tons of ammonium nitrate, a highly explosive material used in fertilizers, that had been improperly stored for years at the port’s warehouse.
The tall structures withstood the force, effectively shielding the western part of Beirut from the explosion that killed over 200 people, wounded more than 6,000 and badly damaged entire neighborhoods. But the silos, which stand in the middle of the port next to a main highway, were badly damaged with grain spilling out amid the wreckage.
The government said experts had warned that trying to put out the fire with water could worsen it due to humidity, but the Interior Minister on Thursday ordered firefighters to try to contain the fire with water anyway. Over the weekend, the Lebanese army sent a helicopter to try to douse the fire with water, as well.
Another minister warned last week that the situation at the port was “tricky and complicated”, and said one of the grain silos may collapse.
Earlier this year, the Lebanese government moved to demolish the silos, but was forced to suspend the decision following protests from families of the blast’s victims and survivors, who have yet to see justice served. They argue that the silos may contain evidence useful for a judicial probe. Some also say the silos should stand as a memorial for the tragic incident.
The judicial probe revealed that range of government officials knew about the dangerous substance that had been stored at the port for years, but did not take meaningful action to remove it or dispose of it. No officials have been yet been convicted.
Those implicated have lodged legal complaints against the judge leading the investigation. A rally organized by the Hezbollah group against the judge leading the probe turned deadly last year, with six people were killed and dozens wounded. | 2022-07-22T12:50:24+00:00 | ourmidland.com | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Smoldering-Beirut-port-silo-risks-total-collapse-17321936.php |
(NEXSTAR) – Sunscreen is an important part of having fun in the sun, but should you really be keeping it in your car?
It’s no secret that the inside of your vehicle can become very hot during the summer months. During the first 30 minutes of sitting in the sun, the temperature within your car can rise by more than one degree a minute, Shelia Dunn, communications director with the National Motorists Association, tells Nexstar.
“So if it’s 90 degrees when you go into the store, within a half-hour, the inside of your car could be around 120 [degrees].”
And, of course, if your car is getting hotter, so are the items inside. According to Dunn, that could chemically impact your sunscreen. Sunscreens with active ingredients like oxybenzone and avobenzone can be degraded while sitting in a hot car, dermatologist Joseph Chao with Sutter Pacific Medical Foundation explains.
Sunscreen should be kept out of direct sun, the Food and Drug Administration advises. Instead, it should be wrapped in towels or kept in the shade or coolers. Even a popular brand of sunscreen, Banana Boat, includes a note on its FAQ page that while its products are tested “at elevated temperatures and sun light,” it is “best to store products at room temperature.”
Aerosol sunscreen isn’t any safer, either. Products under pressure, like aerosol cans, shouldn’t be stored in your car, Ellen Edmonds, Director of Communications with AAA tells Nexstar. Pressurized items typically have a temperature range in which they should be stored. Outside of that range, the items can explode.
To keep your vehicle cooler, Dunn recommends parking in shady spaces – under a tree, in a garage, on the shady side of a building – or using a windshield shade. Still, Dunn says parking in the shade “does not mean your car is immune to the heat.”
“A good rule of thumb—If you don’t want it to melt, don’t leave it in your car.” | 2022-06-04T17:28:20+00:00 | localsyr.com | https://www.localsyr.com/news/national/should-you-store-sunscreen-in-your-car-this-summer-heres-what-experts-say/ |
The NBA has suspended Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant for the first 25 games of the 2023-2024 season.
The suspension follows two incidents of the basketball player waving a gun in videos posted to social media.
After the first incident in March, Morant was suspended for eight games without pay.
He apologized and said he was going to take "time away" to learn better methods to deal with stress.
However, on May 13, Morant was seen in another livestream video with a firearm. He apologized again, acknowledging that his "words may not mean much right now."

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver previously said he was shocked by Morant's repeated behavior. He's also been vocal about the star's influence on the younger generation.
"The potential for other young people to emulate Ja's conduct is particularly concerning," Silver said. "Under these circumstances, we believe a suspension of 25 games is appropriate and makes clear that engaging in reckless and irresponsible behavior with guns will not be tolerated."
Morant was set to start the season on a five-year, $194 million contract with the Grizzlies. However, he will not be paid for the 25 games in which he's suspended. There are 82 games in a regular NBA season.
"For Ja, basketball needs to take a back seat at this time," Silver asserted. "Prior to his return to play, he will be required to formulate and fulfill a program with the league that directly addresses the circumstances that led him to repeat this destructive behavior."

LEXINGTON, Miss. (AP) — There are 32 school districts in Mississippi still under federal desegregation orders, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division’s assistant attorney general said Thursday.
Enforcing the open desegregation orders fit into a broader body of civil rights work launched in Mississippi that is examining jails, police departments and hate crimes in the state, according to Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division. Referring to the U.S. Supreme Court decision that outlawed segregation of public schools across the country, she said the Justice Department is ensuring school districts provide Black students in Mississippi with equal access to education programs.
“In our ongoing efforts to fulfill the promise of Brown vs. Board of Education, we currently have 32 open cases with school districts here in Mississippi,” Clarke said. “And in each of those cases, we are working to ensure that these districts comply with desegregation orders from courts.”
Clarke spoke to a small group of residents, local leaders and reporters Thursday at the Holmes County Circuit Court Complex in Lexington, about 62 miles (100 kilometers) from Jackson, the state capital. Mississippi is the latest stop in Clarke’s “listening tour” throughout the Deep South. The Justice Department is learning where to direct resources and where it might need to mount civil rights lawsuits, she said.
Mississippi has the highest percentage of Black residents of any state. It has been home, as have other states, to legal fights over desegregation. In 2017, a Mississippi Delta school district agreed to merge two high schools after nearly 50 years of litigation in which the district sought to maintain historically Black and white schools.
In addition to school districts, Clarke said at least five Mississippi jails and prisons have come under federal scrutiny. The department is looking into whether the facilities protect prisoners from violence and meet housing standards. The facilities include the Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman, the South Mississippi Correctional Institution, the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility, the Wilkinson County Correctional Facility and a Hinds County Jail.
Clarke also said her division is investigating whether Rankin County Sheriff’s Deputies used excessive force when they shot Michael Corey Jenkins in the mouth during an alleged drug raid. An Associated Press investigation found that several deputies from the department have been involved in at least four violent encounters with Black men since 2019 that left two dead and another with lasting injuries.
Clarke declined to offer more details about the case, citing an ongoing federal civil rights investigation. After delivering prepared remarks in Lexington, she met with community members about allegations of police brutality in the small town. Police have “terrorized” Black residents by subjecting them to false arrests, excessive force and intimidation, an ongoing federal lawsuit claims.
“What I hope she’ll do is seriously address the issues. Not gloss over them, say that she has heard about these violations, talk about them in detail and say that it is wrong if it is happening,” said Jill Collen Jefferson, president of JULIAN, a civil rights organization that filed the federal lawsuit on behalf of a group of Lexington residents.
The community meeting was closed to reporters. The Justice Department has not announced an investigation into the Lexington Police Department.
Jefferson said her organization plans to file a class action lawsuit against the Lexington Police Department in the new few months.
Against the backdrop of ongoing investigations into potential civil rights violations ensnaring school districts, jails and police departments is FBI data released in March showing the number of hate crimes in the U.S. rose in 2021.
“Hate and bigotry are sadly on the rise,” she said.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi’s capital city is grappling with multiple water problems — too much on the ground after heavy rainfall in the past week, and not enough safe water coming through the pipes for people to use.
Parts of Jackson were without running water Tuesday because flooding exacerbated longstanding problems in one of two water-treatment plants. The city of 150,000 had already been under a boil-water notice for a month because the Health Department found cloudy water that could cause digestive problems.
Restaurant owner Derek Emerson told The Associated Press on Tuesday that water problems “are making it impossible for us to do business in Jackson, Mississippi.” Emerson and his wife, Jennifer, own the upscale Walker’s Drive-In, and he said they have been spending $300 a day for ice and bottled water in the past month.
“I love doing business in Jackson, and I like the people of Jackson,” Emerson said. “I just — I hate dealing with the problems.”
Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves said late Monday that he’s declaring a state of emergency for Jackson’s water system, and he issued the proclamation Tuesday. The state will try to help resolve problems by hiring contractors to work at the treatment plant, which was operating at diminished capacity with backup pumps after the main pumps failed “some time ago,” Reeves said.
Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba said Jackson’s water system is troubled by short staffing and “decades of deferred maintenance.” He said the influx of water from torrential rain changed the chemical composition needed for treatment, which slowed the process of pushing water out to customers.
Lumumba is Democrat and was not invited to the Republican governor’s Monday night news conference. Although the two politicians are often at odds, Lumumba said Tuesday that he’s having productive discussions with the Health Department and the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency and he’s grateful for the state’s help.
Like many cities, Jackson faces water system problems it can’t afford to fix. Its tax base has eroded the past few decades as the population decreased — the result of mostly white flight to suburbs that began after public schools integrated in 1970. The city’s population is now more than 80% Black, with about 25% of its residents living in poverty.
Low water pressure left some people unable to take showers or flush toilets and officials said the low pressure caused concern for firefighting. Those who did have water flowing from the tap were told to boil it to kill bacteria that could make them sick.
Jackson schools held classes online Tuesday, and some restaurants closed. Jackson State University brought in temporary restrooms for students, and Jackson State football coach Deion Sanders said the water crisis left his players without air conditioning or ice at their practice facility. In a video that one of his sons posted to social media, Sanders — also known as Coach Prime — said he wanted to move players into a hotel so they could shower.
“We’re going to find somewhere to practice, find somewhere that can accommodate every durn thing that we need and desire to be who we desire to be, and that’s dominate,” Sanders said. “The devil is a lie. He ain’t going to get us today, baby.”
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Tuesday that the federal government is prepared to help Mississippi respond to the water crisis.
She said the state had not asked FEMA for help with trucking in drinking water, and declined to say why. Jean-Pierre said White House officials have been in contact with local officials and the state Health Department.
President Joe Biden has approved an emergency declaration request for the state of Mississippi, directing his team to surge federal assistance to the region, Jean-Pierre tweeted late Tuesday.
“We are committed to helping the people of Jackson and the state of Mississippi during this urgent time of need,” she said.
The problems at the water treatment plant came after the city appeared to largely avoid widespread flooding from a Pearl River swollen by days of heavy rain. One home was flooded Monday but the mayor said the water did not rise as high as expected. Earlier projections showed about 100 to 150 buildings in the Jackson area faced possible flooding.
The National Weather Service said the Pearl River crested Monday short of the major flood stage level of 36 feet (10.97 meters). Parts of Jackson flooded in 2020 after the river topped that level.
Jackson has two water-treatment plants, and the larger one is near a reservoir that provides most of the city’s water supply. The reservoir also has a role in flood control.
The mayor said Monday that low water pressure could last a few days, but by Tuesday he said some customers were regaining service.
“We have seen steady improvements in the system,” Lumumba said.
Jackson has longstanding problems with its water system. A cold snap in 2021 left a significant number of people without running water after pipes froze. Similar problems happened again early this year, on a smaller scale.
Lumumba said last week that fixing Jackson’s water system could cost $200 million, but Tuesday he said the cost could run to “quite possibly the billions of dollars.” Mississippi is receiving $75 million to address water problems as part of a bipartisan infrastructure bill.
Jackson resident Bernard Smith said he filled containers with water Monday night in case his home lost service. He bought bottled water Tuesday and said he hopes Jackson is on track to solve its water woes.
“Sometimes you’ve to go through the hardship to get back to the good ship,” Smith said.

(KHON2) — The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Ruja Ignatova, who’s better known as the “Cryptoqueen.”
Ignatova is on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list: accused defrauding investors of billions of dollars in a scheme that began around 2014.
According to the FBI, Ignatova was the founder of OneCoin Ltd., a Bulgaria-based company that marketed a purported cryptocurrency. Officials say she made false statements and representations to individuals in order to solicit investments in OneCoin.
“She allegedly instructed victims to transmit investment funds to OneCoin accounts in order to purchase OneCoin packages, causing victims to send wire transfers representing these investments,” the FBI said. “Throughout the scheme, OneCoin is believed to have defrauded victims out of more than $4 billion.”
Ignatova served as OneCoin’s top leader through October 2017. The United States District Court, Southern District of New York, issued a warrant for her arrest that year. Then in 2018, a superseding indictment was issued charging Ignatova with one count each of Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud; Wire Fraud; Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering; Conspiracy to Commit Securities Fraud; and Securities Fraud.
FBI says Ignatova and others are alleged to have defrauded billions of dollars from investors all over the world. She is known to have traveled from Sofia, Bulgaria, to Athens, Greece on Oct. 25, 2017, and may have traveled elsewhere after that. She may travel on a German passport to the United Arab Emirates, Bulgaria, Germany, Russia, Greece and/or Eastern Europe.
Anyone with information on Ignatova’s whereabouts are asked to call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI, or report online at tips.fbi.gov. The FBI also believes there may be more victims who have yet to be identified, and they are also encouraged to call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI. | 2022-07-02T04:45:30+00:00 | kxnet.com | https://www.kxnet.com/news/national-news/are-you-a-victim-fbi-looking-for-cryptoqueen/ |
Residents of the small Ohio village of East Palestine gathered in a high school auditorium on Wednesday night to speak directly to community leaders and lawmakers about the train derailment disaster which sparked an evacuation of residents within a one-mile radius.
The train's operator, Norfolk Southern, said representatives for the company would not attend.
In a statement released to the media the company said it had become "increasingly concerned about the growing physical threat to our employees and members of the community around this event stemming from the increasing likelihood of the participation of outside parties."
The moderator of the meeting told the crowd that Norfolk Southern was invited multiple times but they did not accept.
"I know you're frustrated!" He responded, as people shouted from the crowd.
Congressman Bill Johnson, who represents the area, told the crowd to come down to him after the meeting and give him the questions and he will make sure they are answered by Norfolk Southern. The audience continued yelling, asking "why are we getting sick" if there is nothing in the air. The crowd kept pressing, asking why animals are dying.
Johnson said, "I'm not a doctor and I'm not a chemist."
"If you've got ailments and conditions that you did not have before February 3rd, go to your doctor, get that documented, keep that health record," and Johnson promised to "elevate that issue" and get an answer.
Residents complained of headaches and not knowing the exact cause because of a lack of testing for chemical toxicity that "may be causing these symptoms," one resident said at the meeting.
"Who determined the one-mile radius evacuation zone?" one resident shouted out from the audience.
One of the speakers addressing the audience said that the radius was determined by the Department of Transportation and other subject matter experts for an evacuation zone, and claimed the same is used across the country.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) updated its website Wednesday and said on Feb. 14 the agency completed screenings for 459 homes, and had 28 screenings scheduled for Wednesday.
The EPA said the total drinking water wells that were sampled as of Feb. 15 was 21. Air monitoring by the EPA in ongoing according to the agency.
The EPA and Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine have said that there is no evidence of contaminants associated with the derailment to the water supply, but the EPA said on Feb. 15 that Norfolk Southern is delivering bottled water to East Palestine and will help distribute it.
Local police were seen in front of the community members seated in bleachers as the energy in the room became increasingly tense.
On Feb. 10 the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency released information on water quality sampling for surface water and said it showed "very low levels of two contaminants, butyl acylate and ethyl hexyl acrylate" in an area called Leslie Run, and said it would dissipate quickly.
The state agency said it detected no butyl acrylate in an area called North Fork Little Beaver Creek or in another location called Little Beaver Creek. The agency said it detected lower levels of hexyl acrylate in North Fork Little Beaver Creek, about a 20 minute drive southwest of the City of East Palestine.
The agency said it did not detect vinyl chloride in any of the waterways it tested. | 2023-02-16T04:02:01+00:00 | news5cleveland.com | https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/national/east-palestine-holds-town-hall-in-ohio-after-disaster-norfolk-southern-didnt-attend |
NEW YORK — Gwen Knapp, a prominent sports reporter and columnist at The Philadelphia Inquirer and The San Francisco Chronicle and most recently an editor on the sports desk of The New York Times, died Friday in Manhattan, New York. She was 61.
The cause was lymphoma, her sister Susan Knapp McClements said.
Ms. Knapp spent nearly 30 years reporting on sports. She became a sports columnist in 1995, one of only a handful of women in the country to have that title at the time. Her predecessor at The San Francisco Examiner was Joan Ryan, one of the first.
Ms. Knapp was particularly well known among sports fans in the Bay Area for her focus on subjects such as racism, sexism and drugs. Her columns drew the ire of some of the biggest names in sports, including champion cyclist Lance Armstrong and baseball star Barry Bonds.

As early as 2001, before Armstrong’s third of seven consecutive Tour de France victories and well before most other American journalists, Ms. Knapp raised doubts about the validity of his performances.
In a long letter to the editor of The Chronicle in 2004, Armstrong complained vociferously about Ms. Knapp, writing, “I have never had a single positive doping test, and I do not take performance-enhancing drugs.”
Nine years later, he admitted having taken banned drugs during all his Tour victories.
Ms. Knapp wrote extensively about Bonds, who was crushing home run records amid widespread speculation — which he has always denied — that he was using performance-enhancing drugs.
She was regularly a finalist for newspaper writing awards presented by Associated Press Sports Editors and won the top award for columnists in 1998. Among the columns the judges cited was one about NFL star Reggie White’s remarks that homosexuality was “one of the biggest sins.”

She became an editor at the Times in 2014. She worked on the foreign and national desks before she found her way back to sports, where she most recently oversaw coverage at night and was a mentor to young staff members, especially female ones.
Mary Gwen Knapp was born Nov. 18, 1961, in Wilmington, Delaware. Her father, Laurence Knapp, was a boat pilot on the Delaware Bay and River. Her mother, Eleanor (Agnew) Knapp, was a director of operations at the Hagley Museum and Library.
Ms. Knapp got the sports bug from her mother, who rooted for the nearby Philadelphia Phillies. “We grew up with WDEL, with the Phillies game on, and my mom yelling at the radio when she was driving us to swimming,” McClements said.
After graduating as the valedictorian of Mount Pleasant High School in Wilmington, Ms. Knapp attended Harvard University, where she majored in history. She was on the swimming team and was the sports editor of the student newspaper, The Crimson.
One day, while home on a break from college, she asked her father, who had played high school football, to explain the sport to her. She had decided to pursue sports journalism, and she needed to study up.
After graduating from Harvard, Ms. Knapp covered high school sports for The Wilmington News-Journal before spending almost a decade as an editor and a reporter at The Philadelphia Inquirer. She then spent 17 years as a columnist in San Francisco, first at The Examiner and then at The Chronicle, after the two newspapers’ staffs were combined in 2000.

While Ms. Knapp was a clear-eyed and forceful writer, the reporting and writing process did not come easily to her.
“For her, putting her heart and mind out on the page was in some ways a bit frightening,” said Chuck Culpepper, a sports reporter for The Washington Post and a close friend. When Ms. Knapp lived in a one-bedroom apartment in San Francisco, he said, she would sometimes ask house guests to leave for the day so she could struggle with her writing alone.
Her sister Rebecca Knapp Adams described Ms. Knapp working into the wee hours and fretting: “Am I getting both sides? Am I being fair here?”
Her columns on Armstrong and Bonds came not from a place of moral absolutism about drugs but from that sense of fairness, said Nancy Cooney, a colleague from The Inquirer. The two men’s comments and behavior “offended her sense of right and wrong,” Cooney said.
In her final column for The Chronicle, in 2012, Ms. Knapp took stock of the many years she had written about drugs in sports and explained why it mattered.
“Without the belief that sports have some higher value than entertainment, they forfeit their special place in our culture,” she wrote. “For all the flaws of the sports, they represent the purest meritocracy we have. They advanced desegregation in this country ahead of the general population, and for the same reason, they should get over homophobia immediately.”

In addition to her sisters Susan and Rebecca, Ms. Knapp, who lived in the Morningside Heights section of Manhattan, is survived by her father and another sister, Nancy Knapp Piccione.
While she was best known for her treatment of serious topics, Ms. Knapp appreciated sports for all they had to offer. The article of hers that colleagues remember most was written July 4, 1993, after the Phillies completed a doubleheader at 4:40 a.m. To fully capture the delirium of the game, the latest-ending one in baseball history, she quoted not just players and managers but also umpires, grounds crew, announcers and fans.
“Mickey Morandini, dragging himself through the clubhouse and past his weary teammates, seemed to understand the continuum,” she wrote. “‘See you today,’ he said. And he was right.” | 2023-01-21T23:36:07+00:00 | bostonglobe.com | https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/01/21/metro/gwen-knapp-sports-writer-who-looked-big-picture-dies-61/ |

NYSE: VZLA TSX-V: VZLA
VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Vizsla Silver Corp. (TSX-V: VZLA) (NYSE: VZLA) (Frankfurt: 0G3) ("Vizsla" or the "Company") is pleased to announce continued progression on its environmental, social and governance ("ESG") initiatives through a newly formed partnership with MetaVu and Blockhead Technologies who are creating a bespoke ESG reporting platform for all Inventa Capital companies. Vizsla Silver will be the first of the Inventa Capital companies to utilize the platform which is being designed to augment and enhance Vizsla's commitment to maintaining the highest standards of environmental stewardship, social responsibility and good governance practices. The ESG platform deployment for Vizsla is a step towards achieving Inventa Capital's vision for Net Zero Mining through full scale integration of ESG performance throughout the mining asset lifecycle.
"Since day one, Vizsla has been committed to making ESG best practices a priority in everything we do," stated Michael Konnert, CEO of Vizsla Silver. "Our newly formed partnership with leading industry experts MetaVu and Blockhead demonstrates our dedication to enhance and formalize our ESG practices which will put us on track to releasing Vizsla's first Sustainability Report in the first half of 2023."
Vizsla Silver is committed to responsible mining through:
- Being trustworthy stewards of the local environment through mitigation of environmental impacts and seeking innovative solutions to leave the environment better than we found it;
- Operating with accountability and transparency, including ongoing engagement with surrounding communities ("Ejidos") and other stakeholders;
- Supporting initiatives to provide long-term benefits to the surrounding Ejidos including well-paying employment opportunities, local infrastructure improvements, education opportunities and community enhancement initiatives; and,
- Providing a safe, respectful, and healthy work environment for all of our employees.
Vizsla is proud to report its exemplary safety record at the Panuco Project, achieving no lost time incidents for a period of 560 consecutive days, consisting of 833 thousand work hours completed.
"This outstanding record demonstrates the importance that is placed on safety at the Panuco project," commented Craig Parry, Chairman of Vizsla Silver. "Not only does it reflect the Company's commitment to providing a safe work environment for our employees, but also demonstrates the incredible commitment to safety best practices by each and every one of the people that go to work at the Panuco Project. On behalf of the Board, I would like to commend the entire team on their tremendous dedication to making the work place a safe place every day."
In August, Vizsla's Mexican subsidiary, Minera CANAM, was awarded the Socially Responsible Company Distinction (ESR). The Socially Responsible Company Distinction is Mexico's highest corporate social responsibility recognition, awarded jointly by the Mexican Center for Philanthropy (CEMEFI) and the Foundation for Sustainability and Equity (ALIARSE). It is given to companies that are leaders in their sector for their commitment to integrating social and environmental values into their operations.
Through its commitment to transparent and continuous engagement, Vizsla has fostered strong relationships with the local Ejido communities. To date, Vizsla has signed 30-year exploitation agreements with three of the five local Ejidos, for the purpose of developing and extracting mineral resources at Panuco and with the goal of leaving a long-term positive legacy. Vizsla recognizes the importance of building a strong social license with surrounding communities and other stakeholders. The Company seeks to hire locally whenever possible, and ~70% of Vizsla's current on-site workforce is comprised of members from the local community.
At the Project, resource drilling continues with six drill rigs centered on expanding/upgrading maiden resources at Copala and Napoleon, while exploration drilling (three rigs) remains focused on testing high-priority satellite zones across the district. Vizsla has now completed 100,000 metres of new drilling since the March 2022 MRE, all of which will feed into a resource update by the end of Q4 2022.
The Company will be attending key investor conferences in the fall in order to meet with current shareholders and prospective investors to update them on the progress being made at Panuco, including:
- Precious Metals Summit, Beaver Creek, Colorado (September 12-16)
- Denver Gold Forum, Colorado Springs, Colorado (September 18-21)
- New Orleans Investment Conference (October 12-16)
- Deutsche Goldmesse, Frankfurt (November 18-19)
- 121 London (November 22-23)
Please reach out to Liz Monger at liz@inventacapital.ca should you wish to schedule a meeting with the Company at any of the conferences.
The newly consolidated Panuco silver-gold project is an emerging high-grade discovery located in southern Sinaloa, Mexico, near the city of Mazatlán. The 6,761-hectare, past producing district benefits from over 75 kilometres of total vein extent, 35 kilometres of underground mines, roads, power, and permits.
The district contains intermediate to low sulfidation epithermal silver and gold deposits related to siliceous volcanism and crustal extension in the Oligocene and Miocene. Host rocks are mainly continental volcanic rocks correlated to the Tarahumara Formation.
Panuco hosts an estimated in-situ indicated mineral resource of 61.1 Moz AgEq and an in-situ inferred resource of 45.6 Moz AgEq. A NI 43-101 technical report, titled "National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report for the Panuco Project Mineral Resource Estimate Concordia, Sinaloa, Mexico" was filed on SEDAR on April 7, 2022, with an effective date of March 1, 2022 was prepared by Tim Maunula, P.Geo., Principal Geologist, T. Maunula & Associates Consulting Inc and Kevin Murray, P.Eng, Manager Process Engineering, Ausenco.

In accordance with NI 43-101, Martin Dupuis, P.Geo., COO, is the Qualified Person for the Company and has reviewed and approved the technical and scientific content of this news release.
The scientific and technical information in this news release was prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 which differs significantly from the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The terms "measured mineral resource", "indicated mineral resource" and "inferred mineral resource" used herein are in reference to the mining terms defined in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Standards (the "CIM Definition Standards"), which definitions have been adopted by NI 43-101. Accordingly, information contained herein providing descriptions of our mineral deposits in accordance with NI 43-101 may not be comparable to similar information made public by other U.S. companies subject to the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
You are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral resources will ever be converted into reserves. Pursuant to CIM Definition Standards, "inferred mineral resources" are that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. Such geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological and grade or quality continuity. An inferred mineral resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to an indicated mineral resource and must not be converted to a mineral reserve. However, it is reasonably expected that the majority of inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to indicated mineral resources with continued exploration. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of "contained ounces" in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute "reserves" by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.
Canadian standards, including the CIM Definition Standards and NI 43-101, differ significantly from standards in the SEC Industry Guide 7. Effective February 25, 2019, the SEC adopted new mining disclosure rules under subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "SEC Modernization Rules"), with compliance required for the first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2021. The SEC Modernization Rules replace the historical property disclosure requirements included in SEC Industry Guide 7. As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, the SEC now recognizes estimates of "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources". Information regarding mineral resources contained or referenced herein may not be comparable to similar information made public by companies that report according to U.S. standards. While the SEC Modernization Rules are purported to be "substantially similar" to the CIM Definition Standards, readers are cautioned that there are differences between the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Definitions Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral resources that the Company may report as "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules.

DOHA, Qatar and SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor Company today opened the FIFA Museum presented by Hyundai at FIFA Fan Festival™ in Doha, Qatar as part of its FIFA World Cup 2022™ 'Goal of the Century' campaign.
Hyundai built the FIFA Museum using the rammed earth construction technique, which allows the exterior of the building to return to nature without generating waste upon decomposition.
To celebrate the occasion, Unsoo Kim, Executive Vice President of Hyundai Motor India, Middle East & Africa Strategic Region, and Jisung Park, a member of Team Century and former Korean national football team captain, joined the museum's opening together with FIFA Museum Managing Director Marco Fazzone as well as the three official FIFA Museum Ambassadors.
Hyundai also officially revealed 'The Greatest Goal' by the Italian contemporary artist, Lorenzo Quinn. Hyundai joined hands with him to create this monumental work of art inspired by football fans' shared dream of a united world for sustainability.
Quinn made 'The Greatest Goal' sustainably with recycled steel mesh, featuring more than 70,000 weld points. To showcase this vision, members of Team Century as well as Unsoo Kim and Jürgen Griesbeck together completed the artwork by each adding a layer of foliage to the globe.
"We may not yet be where we need to be, but in pledging to change we are taking a step closer to scoring the world's greatest goal of making a difference together," Quinn said. "The most important thing in achieving a united world for sustainability is harmony with our environment and everything that surrounds us. Humankind needs to work hand-in-hand to achieve one goal of sustainability, and this narrative is in line with the meaning of this sculpture."
Further, a campaign video to mark the finale of the 'Goal of the Century' will be run as an advertisement in between the live matches of FIFA World Cup 2022™.

No, the Milwaukee Bucks will not finish the season 82-0, nor will they challenge the Warriors 24-0 start in 2015.
The Buycks started hot Monday night against the Atlanta Hawks before fading in the second half as the Hawks caught fire. The end result was a 117-98 loss.
Wins trump losses in in any sport, it’s hard to argue the counterpoint. But maybe it’s not the worst thing the Bucks franchise-best nine game win streak to begin the season is over.
Does it lessen their position as an NBA championship contenting team? No.
Does it give the Hawks a psychological advantage if the teams were to meet in the playoffs in April or May? No.
Mike Budenholzer doesn’t strike me as the type of Coach who would press his players early in the regular season to keep a streak alive, but the decision to rest Giannis came after this year’s Bucks set a new franchise record winning eight in a row to begin the season.
No more streak. No more questions about the streak. No more subconscious thought about managing minutes against history. The Bucks loss to the Hawks means it’s time to exhale…and that is a good thing. | 2022-11-08T23:55:39+00:00 | wtmj.com | https://wtmj.com/sports/extra-points/2022/11/08/extra-points-maybe-its-a-good-thing/ |

Pregnant woman says Apple Watch warning saved her life
COSTA MESA, Calif. (KCAL) - A pregnant woman rushed to the hospital after her smart watch kept warning that something was wrong.
“I literally thought I was going to die,” Jess Kelly said. “There were so many doctors and stuff in there.”
Kelly is sounding the alarm about how her Apple Watch may have saved her life and the life of her new baby girl.
“I had been laying in bed ... not feeling well. I didn’t know if it was my morning sickness coming back my third trimester or if it was because I was getting my son’s stomach flu,” Kelly said. “And so, I wasn’t doing any sort of activity, so I thought it was really odd that it was telling me my heart rate was going over 120 beats per minute.”
The mom still had a few weeks until her due date. She said her Apple Watch kept chirping at her that her heart rate was high and each warning that appeared on the screen added to her worries.
“It went off the first time and I thought it was strange. Then the second time maybe ten minutes later or so and then the third time, I think, was maybe a half hour or so later,” Kelly said. “And when it went off the third time, I thought OK something is going on.”
Kelly went straight to the hospital, which is exactly what Dr. Brian Kolski would recommend. The cardiologist at the Providence St. Joseph Hospital doesn’t treat Kelly but he has patients who are prescribed Apple Watches to detect certain heart conditions.
“Sounds like it was accurate and one of the first signs when people are in trouble, whether it’s low blood pressure, bleeding, is an elevated heart rate,” Kolski said.
Kelly arrived in full-blown labor, her blood pressure was dropping, and she was losing blood due to a pregnancy complication known as placenta abruption. Yet a healthy baby, Shelby Marie, was born three hours later.
Kelly said she is so grateful to the doctors, nurses and for her Apple Watch.
“Listen to it. It’s not just a text message, help you find your phone alert,” Kelly said. “It’s to pay attention to it and listen to your body.”

Taiwan’s vice president expected to transit US as Biden administration works to regularize diplomacy with China
By Kylie Atwood and Natasha Bertrand, CNN
(CNN) — Taiwan’s Vice President Lai Ching-Te is expected to transit the US next month en route to Paraguay, the island’s presidential office announced at a news conference Monday.
The Biden administration expects the transit to occur “without incident,” a senior administration official said Sunday.
The transit comes as the Biden administration is working to regularize the pace of diplomacy with Beijing, with three top administration officials visiting China in the last month.
While any visit to the US by Taiwanese officials typically frustrates Beijing, the official said Taiwan is planning a “low-key” transit, although they did not say if Lai would meet US officials.
“These transits of senior officials are unofficial in keeping with our US One China policy,” the official said, calling the transits fairly common. “We’ve had 10 vice presidential transits in the last 20 years. All have occurred without incident.”
Under the “One China” policy, the US acknowledges China’s position that Taiwan is part of China, but has never officially recognized Beijing’s claim to the self-governing island of 23 million. The US provides Taiwan defensive weapons, but has remained intentionally ambiguous on whether it would intervene militarily in the event of a Chinese attack.
A trip to the US by an official from Taiwan is referred to as a “transit” instead of a visit because the US does not have formal diplomatic relations with the government of Taiwan and the stop-over comes as part of an unofficial trip on the way to another destination.
Lai, in his role as vice president, is not expected to visit Washington.
“Lai’s transit will be private and unofficial,” the official said. He last transited the US in January 2022.
Lai, however, is notably not just a current official: the ruling Democratic Progressive Party nominated the vice president to be its 2024 presidential candidate. Candidates from other political parties may also visit the US later this year, but the senior administration official did not provide detail about future possible trips.
Taiwan lies fewer than 110 miles (177 kilometers) off the coast of China. For more than 70 years, the two sides have been governed separately, but that hasn’t stopped China’s ruling Communist Party from claiming the island as its own – despite having never controlled it.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning reacted to the news of the transit Monday in a news briefing. “China stands rock solid in opposing any ambush visit by ‘Taiwan separatist forces’ to the US. We oppose the US condoning and supporting the ‘Taiwan separatist forces’ and their separatist acts,” Mao said.
When Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen transited the US earlier this year and met with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in California, China responded by conducting three days of military drills close to Taiwan. During the drills, multiple Chinese fighter jets crossed into the southeastern portion of the island’s air defense identification zone – a self-declared buffer that extends beyond the island’s airspace.
The announcement from Taiwan about Lai’s transit comes as the Biden administration’s climate envoy John Kerry is in Beijing. His trip follows visits by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
“We’ve been pretty clear both publicly and then behind closed doors with the Chinese as well that we hope and we urge that communication should continue even through periods where there may be tension,” the official said. “That is a critical part of managing competition about maintaining channels of communication and preventing this from veering into conflict.”
While the US is trying to mend relations with China, the Biden administration is also planning to provide Taiwan with additional security assistance in the form of a Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) military aid package, senior US officials have said, in which military equipment is taken directly from US stockpiles.
That package has been delayed by several months, however, in large part because of an accounting error that forced administration officials to retally the value of the equipment the US will be providing to Taiwan, multiple US officials told CNN.
The accounting error is similar to one the administration made for aid packages it provided to Ukraine under the PDA authority, officials said. In the Ukraine cases, military officials counted the value of replacing the weapon in US stocks instead of the value of the actual weapon being sent to Ukraine, leading the administration to overestimate the real monetary value of the aid packages.
A similar error was discovered several months ago with the Taiwan aid package, but multiple defense officials told CNN that it has already been resolved.
Asked by CNN about the PDA on Sunday, the senior administration official said they did not have a specific timeline to provide, but acknowledged it has taken “a bit longer than we would normally expect.”
“This is the first time we have done a Taiwan PDA,” the official said, “and it has taken a bit longer than we would normally expect, partially because of the reassessment of some of the costs associated with the PDA. That was not just a Taiwan issue, but of course the Ukraine one as well. But our expectation is that will soon have news on that.”

If you live in a metropolitan area, how many times would you say you visit downtown? For many people, the answer is increasingly becoming not often.
A new report from the National Association of Realtors shows many cities are recovering quickly from the pandemic as cities like Miami, Minneapolis, Denver, and Dallas have seen more people moving in 2022 compared to 2019; but even though more people are moving to these cities, their downtowns are still struggling.
In the case of Minneapolis, for example, the city has seen 41.2% more people move there in 2022 compared to 2019, but its downtown has seen only 41% of the cell phone activity as it did in 2019.
The trends suggest that even though more people are moving back to metropolitan areas, they are not inhabiting those cities' downtown spaces.
"We're talking about how do we keep communities functioning in the face of some sort of external shock to our system," said Deserai Crow, a professor of public affairs at the University of Colorado Denver. "In this case that shock is the pandemic."
Crow studies city resiliency in the face of adversity. In the case of the pandemic, her research team has found state legislatures are not doing as much to prioritize downtown revitalization as they could be.

"There are a lot of bills introduced, but a lot of them are posturing or political gamesmanship," said Crow. "Very few [bills] have been passed so I think this is an opportunity before the pandemic is totally forgotten for municipal governments, county governments to advocate with state governments and the federal government to ensure that there are the resources to rethink our downtown spaces."
One of the major drivers of this downtown exodus is the rise in working from home. Fewer office spaces are filled, and as a result fewer people venture to businesses in the heart of the city. That has been the case for Sam's No. 3 Diner in Downtown Denver. Though the city has seen a 27% rise in people moving there, Denver's downtown has seen a 38% drop in cell phone activity.
"The city felt so good pre-pandemic," said the diner's owner, Sam Armatas. "In 2019, it felt like this city was on fire- there were people walking around having a great time. Now, it's hard to watch what's happened downtown, actually, especially the last year and a half."
Armatas says his diner is still operating at 66% of its staffing levels compared to before the pandemic. It has also cut its operating hours from 6 a.m.-10 p.m. to 7 a.m.-2 p.m.
"We just need some fresh ideas," said Armatas. "We need to get people back down here. I'd hate to see it like it was in the late 70s, early 80s when it was kind of a ghost town."
Crow says the lack of funding from state legislatures threatens places like Sam's No. 3 Diner. More money, she says, would help construct housing and anchor institutions like the arts to attract customers and activity.
"If [businesses] see that you're also building housing then they're probably more likely to take a risk on a downtown area that seems to have dried up, but it really hasn't, but I think that's the perception," said Crow. "It's a big snowball effect."

Boeing is optimistic it will soon restart long-stalled exports of its 737 MAX jets to China, especially with President Xi Jinping slated to visit the U.S. later this year, the planemaker’s top executive said Tuesday.
The reason is simple: China’s airlines can’t afford to sit on the sidelines and watch other carriers — like Ireland’s Ryanair — lock in capacity at a time when Boeing and Airbus’ factories can’t keep up with booming sales.
Air travel is surging now that China has ended its COVID-19 lockdowns, and the nation’s carriers need workhorse jets like the 737 MAX to meet burgeoning demand, Boeing Chief Executive Officer Dave Calhoun said in an interview moments after unveiling a $40 billion order from Ryanair.
“The market is coming back, it’s exploding. So am I reasonably confident? Yes,” Calhoun said of China.
China was among the first nations to ground the 737 MAX following two fatal crashes — and among the last to reverse the step. Its airlines haven’t taken delivery of Boeing’s cash-cow jets since early 2019 as the pandemic crushed air travel — and political tensions simmered with the U.S. But Calhoun hinted the impasse could have repercussions for China’s airlines at a time when Boeing and Airbus are running low on delivery slots for their bestselling jets.
Boeing’s not inclined to “move out our existing customers” to provide China’s airlines with advantageous delivery positions, Calhoun said. “We’re talking about orders out in the early 2030s.”
Airbus is also sold out on its bestselling models until at least 2028, the European planemaker has said. | 2023-05-10T00:34:02+00:00 | seattletimes.com | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-ceo-calhoun-confident-max-deliveries-in-china-will-resume-soon/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world |

WASHINGTON (AP) — Jeffrey Epstein was left alone in his jail cell with a surplus of bed linens the night he killed himself. Nearly all the surveillance cameras on his unit didn’t record. One worker was on duty for 24 hours straight. And, despite his high profile and a suicide attempt two weeks earlier, he wasn’t checked on regularly as required.
The Justice Department’s watchdog said Tuesday that a “combination of negligence, misconduct and outright job performance failures” by the federal Bureau of Prisons and workers at the New York City jail enabled the wealthy financier to take his own life in August 2019, finding no evidence of foul play.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz blamed numerous factors for Epstein’s death, including the jail’s failure to assign him a cellmate and overworked guards who lied on logs after failing to make regular checks. Had the guards done so, Horowitz said, they would’ve found Epstein had excess linens, which he used in his suicide.
The failures are deeply troubling not only because they allowed Epstein’s suicide but also because they “led to questions about the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death and effectively deprived Epstein’s numerous victims of the opportunity to seek justice,” Horowitz said in a video statement.
Horowitz’s investigation, the last of several official inquiries into Epstein’s death, echoed previous findings that some members of the jail staff involved in guarding Epstein were overworked. He identified 13 employees with performance failures and recommended possible criminal charges against four workers. Only the two workers assigned to guard Epstein the night he died were charged, avoiding jail time in a plea deal after admitting to falsifying logs.
Horowitz’s report also revealed new details about Epstein’s behavior in the days before his death, including that he signed a new last will and testament while meeting with his lawyers two days before he was found unresponsive in his cell the morning of Aug. 10, 2019. Jail officials did not know about the new will until after Epstein’s death, Horowitz said.
Few of the cameras in the area where Epstein was housed were making recordings of the images they captured due to a mechanical failure July 29. The prison had contracted for a camera system upgrade three years before his death, but it had not been completed, in part due to serious staffing shortages.
Meanwhile, Epstein was alone the night of his death, even though the prison’s psychology department had informed 70 employees that he needed to be with a cellmate after his previous suicide attempt in July. His cellmate was nevertheless transferred Aug. 9, with no action taken to replace him. He was also allowed an unmonitored personal phone call the night before he was found dead, a violation of BOP policy.
Horowitz’s report highlighted some of the many problems plaguing the Bureau of Prisons, many of which have been exposed by The Associated Press. The agency, the Justice Department’s largest with more than 30,000 employees, 158,000 inmates and an annual budget of about $8 billion, is plagued by severe staffing shortages, staff sexual abuse and criminal conduct, among other issues.
The Bureau of Prisons said it has accepted all eight of Horowitz’s recommendations, has updated its suicide watch process and will apply other lessons learned “to the broader BOP correctional landscape.”
The agency said it will review video to ensure correctional officers are making the proper rounds in restrictive housing and will require more paperwork when prisoners are kept alone in cells. A warden must now be notified when someone is placed on suicide watch, the agency said. It is also requiring specialized training on suicide prevention.
“We make every effort to create a controlled environment within our facilities that is both secure and humane, prioritizing the physical and emotional well-being of those in our care and custody,” the Bureau of Prisons said in a statement.
Horowitz’s report comes nearly four years after Epstein took his own life at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan while awaiting trial on sex trafficking and conspiracy charges. It also comes weeks after the AP obtained thousands of pages of records detailing the wealthy financier’s detention and death and its chaotic aftermath.
Horowitz’s investigators found no evidence to suggest anything other than suicide, echoing the findings of New York City’s medical examiner’s office, which determined Epstein killed himself, and a separate FBI investigation that found no crimes directly associated with the death.
No physical evidence supported any of the many conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein’s death, Horowitz concluded, and none of the video captured from the cameras that were recording showed any indication of anyone else in the cell. Investigators probed for possible money changing hands involving guards but found no evidence of that, either.
The workers assigned to guard Epstein were sleeping and shopping online instead of checking on him every 30 minutes as required, prosecutors said.
Nova Noel and Michael Thomas admitted lying on prison records to make it seem as though they had made the checks but avoided prison time under a deal with prosecutors. They left the Bureau of Prisons in April 2022, agency spokesperson Benjamin O’Cone said.
It’s the second time in six months that Horowitz has blamed a high-profile inmate’s death on the Bureau of Prisons’ failings. In December, the inspector general found that management failures, flawed policies and widespread incompetence were factors in notorious gangster James “Whitey” Bulger’s 2018 beating death at a troubled West Virginia prison.
The AP obtained more than 4,000 pages of documents related to Epstein’s death from the federal Bureau of Prisons under the Freedom of Information Act. The documents, including a reconstruction of events leading to Epstein’s suicide, internal reports, emails, memos and other records, underscored how short staffing and corner-cutting contributed to Epstein’s death.
Epstein spent 36 days at the now-shuttered Metropolitan Correctional Center. Two weeks before his death, he was placed on suicide watch for 31 hours after what jail officials said was a suicide attempt that left his neck bruised and scraped.
The workers tasked with guarding Epstein the night he died were working overtime. One of them, not normally assigned to guard prisoners, was working a fifth straight day of overtime. The other was working mandatory overtime, which meant a second eight-hour shift in one day.

Lawmakers might ban dogs from sticking their heads out of car windows
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (CNN) - What says joy more than a dog with its head out the window of a moving car?
But that might soon become illegal in Florida.
It’s part of an Animal Welfare Bill making its way through the state’s senate.
The measure would ban owners from letting their dogs put their heads out of the windows of moving vehicles and sitting in laps.
Experts say the safety of the act is debatable but if a window is open enough for a dog to stick its head out, it could potentially jump out. And it also allows dogs to get foreign objects in their eyes.
Other aspects of the bill include making it illegal to declaw cats and limiting the time that animals could be tethered outside.
The measure would also create a registry of animal abusers.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- After more than three years of intense work, the Official Creditors Committee ("Committee") has negotiated a settlement with the Diocese of Rochester to resolve the Diocese's Chapter 11 case. The Committee, counseled by Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP ("PSZJ"), was appointed at the outset of the case to represent the interests of the approximately 475 sexual abuse survivors who asserted claims against the Diocese. The settlement provides that the Diocese and related entities will pay $55 million to a trust for the benefit of survivors and assign valuable insurance rights to that trust. Many survivors will also be able to pursue their claims in court against the Diocese and related entities in order to recover proceeds from their insurance policies.
The Diocese previously announced a settlement of approximately $106 million with its insurers, which the Committee deemed inadequate. Under the new settlement, the insurance policies will be assigned to a trust that will pursue a more substantial recovery from the insurers. The settlement funding does not include any money from the Diocese's insurers.
In exchange for the settlement payment, the Diocese will receive a discharge in bankruptcy and the affiliates will be released of their liabilities for the sexual abuse claims. Perpetrators and non-affiliates of the Diocese, such as religious orders, are not included in the settlement and will not be released.
The negotiated settlement will be incorporated into a plan of reorganization that survivors will have an opportunity to vote on. The Committee expects that process to take approximately six months to complete.
"The settlement is the result of the Committee's hard work and tenacity. The courage and faith of Rochester's survivors empowered the Committee to stand up and negotiate a settlement on our terms. The bankruptcy case has lasted a long time, and the Diocese's insurers still have not stepped up to provide an adequate recovery for survivors. This settlement will allow survivors to take control of the process and pursue financial recoveries from the insurers that are acceptable to us," said Jim Cali, Chair of the Committee.
"The Committee has sought a fair and reasonable resolution for Rochester's survivors for over three years. The Committee has stood strong and united in its efforts to represent the interests of their fellow survivors. It will continue to do so as we move into the next phase of this process, which will seek an appropriate payment from the Diocese's insurers," said Ilan Scharf of Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP.
"The Diocese's insurers have not come forward with a sufficient settlement, and this agreement gives survivors the tools needed to seek an appropriate settlement from the Diocese's insurers," said Timothy Burns of Burns Bowen Bair LLP, insurance counsel to the Committee.
The case is In Re: The Diocese of Rochester; Case Number: 19-20905 (PRW); Western District of New York.

It's the beverage backlash rocking the bluegrass state.
"If you're going to make bourbon, you really need to be in Kentucky, and we want you in Kentucky to do that," said Jack Mazurak said.
Mazurak is the director of governmental and regulatory affairs for the Kentucky Distillers' Association.
The point of contention? The end of a barrel tax.
In March, Governor Andy Beshear signed off on a bill outlining the phasing out of the property tax placed on aging barrels of bourbon in the state.
The phase-out, which will begin in 2026, will see that tax reduced by a few percentage points each year, leading to its full elimination by 2043—a move being applauded by the state's roughly $9 billion bourbon industry.
"From an economic development perspective. When you look at a barrel tax, that's a punishment for growth. That's a punishment for success," Mazurak said.
Mazurak says the annual barrel tax was problematic as the demand for bourbon has been growing, leading distillers to produce and store more aging barrels of bourbon and therefore pay more in taxes.
"Last year, we had 12 million barrels aging in the state and paid $40 million in barrel taxes. So, you know, it went from 9.5 million in 2009, 2014 when things really started taking off, it was about $14 million in barrel taxes we paid. But I mean, just the increments that it was jumping each year was incredible. And it's a growing pain," Mazurak said.
Mazurak says the barrel tax only served as a deterrent for new distillers looking to set up shop in the state.
"If you're a startup, if you want to come to Kentucky and start up a small distillery, that's a major disincentive," Mazurak said. "So, you could go to Tennessee; you could go to Ohio, Indiana. You could go anywhere, right? And start up your distillery and not face these costs."
But while distillers are static about the tax break, counties that are home to distillers are now bracing for a financial hit in the coming years. In a state that's estimated to produce95% of the world's bourbon, that's big money.

"They feel like they haven't been listened to, like they've been thrown under the bus, like they've been abandoned, like they haven't been supported, like they've been very supportive of this industry. I'm not so sure they're going to be in the future," Pam Thomas said.
Pam Thomas is a senior fellow at the Kentucky Center for Economic Policy.
She says, like anywhere else, property taxes are used to fund local services. In the case of the funds collected from the barrel tax, that money has historically been used to fund schools, emergency services like fire and police, roads, and more in Kentucky.
"The thing about local governments in Kentucky is they do not have a lot of revenue sources. Their biggest revenue source is their property tax," Thomas said. "The thing about local governments in Kentucky is they do not have a lot of revenue sources. Their biggest revenue source is their property tax."
Thomas says overall, many counties are struggling with the bourbon industry's claims that the barrel tax has been a burden on business.
"It's pretty clear, given the growth of the industry, and you can go and look at the press releases from the governor's office, that they're in a boom, that they're in a huge boom, that the boom is already expected to last more than five years. So, the argument that it's making us not competitive, it just really doesn't hold water," Thomas said.
She adds that dropping the tax might end up disconnecting the industry from the communities where it operates as well.
"I just don't think they're going to get the local support that they got before because they do feel like they've been duped. And, you know, I would say that they have," Thomas said.
Thomas says the distillers knew what they were getting into when they opened their doors in Kentucky.
"Every single distillery that's come into Kentucky, and there's like 90 of them now; just a few years ago, there were only 14 or 15. They did a cost-benefit analysis that included the barrel tax, and they decided to come here anyway," Thomas said.
But for Mazurak, there are more important things.
"Bourbon is wonderful to have, the enthusiasm and the tourism, and the demand. But at the end of the day, it's not a grocery item; you know, nobody has to have it. It's not a good tax policy to balance your county budget or to really have it tied in with schools because your kids' education and my kids' education is more important than that," Mazurak said.
Making the bourbon battle a topic of discussion at Kentucky watering holes for years to come.

Spring training starts this coming week as an eventful offseason comes to an end.
To at least some degree, every team feels good about its roster as camps open. But some teams and individuals had a better winter than others. Let’s take a look.
Winners
Mets: So much for the Steve Cohen Tax stopping Steve Cohen.
The Mets signed free agent starters Justin Verlander, Kodai Senga, and Jose Quintana for $187.6 million. They also signed Edwin Díaz, Jeff McNeil, and Brandon Nimmo to extensions worth $314 million.
Their luxury-tax payroll is expected to be over $370 million and the industry perception is they will be in avid pursuit of Shohei Ohtani if he reaches free agency next winter.

Xander Bogaerts: There was little question that Bogaerts would reap a windfall in free agency. But nobody expected he’d land an 11-year, $280 million deal.
But after the Phillies snapped up Trea Turner for 11 years and $300 million, the Padres got aggressive. They valued Bogaerts for both his ability and having the kind of personality that could unite their clubhouse. His timing proved perfect.
Rangers: Texas has been at least 23 games out of first place in the last five full seasons. Owner Ray Davis has had enough.
Since October he has hired Bruce Bochy as manager and Mike Maddux as pitching coach while signing starters Jacob deGrom, Nate Eovaldi, Andrew Heaney, and Martín Pérez for a combined $263.6 million.
The question now is whether their lineup is potent enough.
Yankees: They still need a left fielder other than Aaron Hicks and it’s uncertain who will play shortstop. But Hal Steinbrenner did what had to be done by retaining Aaron Judge for a whopping $360 million and adding Carlos Rodón for six years and $162 million.
Keeping first baseman Anthony Rizzo was another important move.

Phillies: After winning the National League pennant, Dave Dombrowski improved what was already a strong lineup by signing Turner. Philadelphia also added Taijuan Walker to the rotation.
Twins: They lost Carlos Correa to the Giants. Then they lost him to the Mets. Then they signed him for a bargain six years and $200 million.
The Giants and Mets had concerns with Correa’s physical, particularly his surgically repaired right ankle. But the Twins had Correa on the field for 136 games last season and are comfortable he will hold up.
Minnesota also added Christian Vazquez on a three-year deal.
Losers
Giants: They made a strong run at Judge only to fall short. They pivoted to Correa and had a deal in place before having concerns with his physical.
They ended up with two starters (Sean Manaea, Ross Stripling), a reliever (Taylor Rogers), and two outfielders (Michael Conforto and Mitch Haniger).
That’s not a bad offseason. It might even be a pretty good one. But it fell short of their high goals.
Dodgers: By their usual standards, the Dodgers sat out the winter.
They added J.D. Martinez and Noah Syndergaard on one-year deals, and retained Clayton Kershaw, but otherwise held back, almost surely to make a run at Ohtani next season.
The Dodgers could have reset the luxury-tax penalties by getting their payroll under $233 million. But when Trevor Bauer was reinstated from suspension and then released, that added a wasted $22.5 million.
Chaim Bloom: That their chief baseball officer was savagely booed at the team’s usually cheery fanfest event was the lowlight of the winter for the Red Sox. It’s fair to say a large percentage of the fan base does not share Bloom’s vision for the organization.

Sustainability sounded good until Bloom dumped a series of beloved and successful players for little in return.
The grumbles will only grow louder if the Sox get off to a slow start.
Orioles: It’s not so much that Baltimore had a bad offseason. It just wasn’t as impactful as expected.
General manager Mike Elias spoke confidently in November about adding significantly to the rotation and ended up with free agent Kyle Gibson on a one-year deal before making a trade for Oakland’s Cole Irvin.
The Orioles also have highly regarded righthander Grayson Rodriguez on the way. But they could have used somebody like Jameson Taillon or Eovaldi to buttress their staff.
“We approach things very carefully,” Elias said. “We have a lot of really smart and experienced people in our front office working on our plan, and that includes growing the team over the next few years, managing our payroll, trying to get into contracts that make sense for the long haul.”
The remainders: There is still a group of notable players looking for jobs.
Michael Wacha is the best starter left assuming teams will continue to pass on Bauer. Wacha was 11-2 with a 3.32 ERA in 23 starts for the Red Sox last season but has received only one-year offers.

Gary Sanchez, Yuli Gurriel, Rougned Odor, Jose Iglesias, Elvis Andrus, Jurickson Profar, and Luke Voit also remain unemployed.
Matt Strahm’s two-year, $15 million contract with the Phillies skewed the market for lefthanded relievers. That has left Matt Moore and Will Smith still hoping for better deals.
DOUBLE DUTY
Hernández will have a busy spring training
Interesting spring training coming up for Kiké Hernández. He will start out with the Red Sox playing shortstop, then join Puerto Rico for the World Baseball Classic to play center field, before rejoining the Sox to play shortstop.
It should work out. Puerto Rico will conduct its training camp at Fenway South, which will allow Hernández to keep working with the Sox infield coaches.
Puerto Rico’s coaches also understand that Hernández will need to get some work in at shortstop on the side as the tournament progresses. With Francisco Lindor playing shortstop, Hernández may not see any game action.
Hernández has only 47 career starts at shortstop — 12 in the last four seasons. But it’s his favorite position and one he has long believed he can have success at.
As the Sox were remaking their roster this winter, Hernández preferred shortstop over center field.
“I was worried that center field was going to be way too much ground to cover considering my speed. Of course, I depend a lot on my jump, on my first step,” he told Chris Rose on “The Chris Rose Rotation” podcast.
“I cover a lot of ground on my first step and I try to be moving before the ball gets hit, kind of like an infielder. Basically the same as playing second but with a longer throw.”

Hernández isn’t worried about being doubted.
“We’ll talk in October. We’ll talk in November. Watch me. That’s it,” he said. “If there’s something they can expect, it’s I won’t be scared.”
A few other observations on the Red Sox:
▪ That Justin Turner decided to take Xander Bogaerts’s No. 2 when he joined the Sox was a bit of a surprise.
Turner is a veteran and has every right to ask for a number that’s available. But for some fans, the loss of Bogaerts will still be fresh and there could be some backlash.
In 2008, veteran reliever LaTroy Hawkins asked for No. 21 when he signed with the Yankees. It had not been given out since Paul O’Neill retired in 2001.
Fans booed Hawkins and he switched to No. 22 only 16 games into the season.
▪ The Red Sox have installed LED lights at Fenway Park, which use less energy and last longer. It also will allow for special effects during a game.
▪ Old friend Daniel Nava will manage High-A Great Lakes for the Dodgers this season. The team is based in Midland, Mich.
Nava, who turns 40 this month, finished his playing career in 2019 and joined the Dodgers in 2021.
▪ John Henry’s term on MLB’s executive council expired and he was replaced by Guardians chairman Paul Dolan.
▪ According to the esteemed UniWatch website, the Red Sox are one of only six teams who have sold advertising patches on their uniforms. The others are the Angels, Astros, Diamondbacks, Padres, and Reds.
More deals are likely throughout spring training.
MassMutual agreed to a reported 10-year, $170 million deal with the Sox for the patch and signage at Fenway Park. The Reds, on the other hand, are getting $5 million a year from a grocery store chain.
As part of their deal with MassMutual, the patch on Sox uniforms will be placed where it gets the most television exposure. That means the throwing arm of a pitcher or the front shoulder of a hitter.
MLB gave teams a choice of having all the patches on one sleeve or to vary them depending on the player. Presumably that option generated more profit.
Yes, it’s awful the Sox will ruin their classic jersey with an advertisement. The same will be true if the Cardinals, Dodgers, Giants or Yankees do the same.
But it’s naïve at this point to think any team will turn down a chance to make more money.
ETC.
Some local ties for the WBC
The World Baseball Classic is an opportunity for some lesser-known players to take a turn in the spotlight, including a few from Massachusetts.
Athletics lefthander Jake Fishman, who played at Sharon High before going on to Union College, will play for Israel and manager Ian Kinsler.
Fishman, 28, was a 30th-round draft pick by the Blue Jays in 2016. He was a Rule 5 Draft pick by the Marlins in 2020, made his major league debut last season, and has since signed with the Athletics after being released in November.
Kevin Youkilis will be Israel’s hitting coach.
Brewers outfield prospect Sal Frelick is playing for Italy and manager Mike Piazza. Frelick was a multi-sport star at Lexington High before taking a baseball scholarship at Boston College.
Frelick was a first-round pick in 2021 and finished last season at Triple A. He had a .403 OBP in 119 minor league games at three levels in 2021.
Three players I’ll be rooting for: Team USA reliever Daniel Bard, Israel catcher Ryan Lavarnway, and Colombia lefthander Rio Gomez.
For the 37-year-old Bard, the WBC is the latest chapter in his extraordinary comeback story. After a seven-year absence from the majors because of severe control issues, Bard made a comeback with the Rockies in 2020 and has become their lockdown closer. The righthander had a 1.79 ERA last season with 34 saves.
Lavarnway, 37, was drafted by the Red Sox in 2008 and has since played for 11 other organizations and appeared in 165 major league games. He’s also played in Australia, Japan, South Korea, and Venezuela along the way.
At the moment, Lavarnway is a free agent. Perhaps the WBC will land him another chance.
Gomez, 28, was cut from his high school team but didn’t give up on baseball and joined a junior college team as a walk-on. That led to three seasons at the University of Arizona and being selected by the Red Sox in the 36th round of the 2017 draft.
He has since made it to Double A and will play for Colombia thanks to his family’s ancestry. His father, the late Pedro Gomez, was a reporter for ESPN.
Extra bases
The Blue Jays used Lourdes Gurriel, Teoscar Hernández, George Springer, and Raimel Tapia as their primary outfielders last season. They made 85 percent of the starts. Hernández and Gurriel have since been traded and Tapia signed with the Red Sox are being non-tendered. The plan now is to use Springer in right, Kevin Kiermaier in center, and Daulton Varsho in left. That’s an athletic trio that should cover a lot of ground and improve Toronto’s overall team defense, which was already solid … Mets GM Billy Eppler made two interesting decisions this past week. He hired Carlos Beltrán as a special assistant and dropped Bryn Alderson as assistant GM. Beltrán was hired to manage the Mets on Nov. 1, 2019, then fired 77 days later after he was revealed as a ringleader in Houston’s 2017 sign-stealing scheme. Alderson is the son of former Mets president Sandy Alderson … Padres owner Peter Seidler is the West Coast version of Steve Cohen. He doesn’t care what it costs to win. San Diego signed 36-year-old Yu Darvish to a six-year, $108 million extension. The righthander, who was eligible for free agency after the coming season, will be 42 when the contract expires. The Padres also are pushing to sign Manny Machado to an extension … Keep an eye on Japan in the WBC. The New York Post reported that ace righthander Yoshinobu Yamamoto will likely be posted by the Orix Buffaloes after the season. The 24-year-old is 33-10 with a 1.54 ERA the last two seasons and has a big fastball. Red Sox scouts saw plenty of Yamamoto while watching his teammate Masataka Yoshida the last few years … Nearly 80 percent of the Hall of Fame voters (307 of 389) made their votes public. That’s great, but it should be closer to 100 percent. Members of the BBWAA ask players, managers, and executives to go on the record with their opinions. The least we can do is hold ourselves to that standard and take whatever criticism results. You may have noticed last month that Bronson Arroyo received one vote. It turns out that vote came from Peter Gammons. Arroyo goes back 20 years supporting the Hot Stove Cool Music charity concerts and the scholarship program named for Gammons that has helped send 225 students to four-year colleges … Baseball America selected Boston College outfielder Travis Honeyman as a second-team preseason All-American. Honeyman, who is from Massapequa, N.Y., had a .908 OPS over 40 games last season. The Eagles open their season on Friday at Pepperdine. Their first 18 games are on the road or at a neutral site in seven states before hosting Northeastern on March 21 … Best wishes to Pete Wilk, who manages the Vermont Lake Monsters in the Futures Collegiate Baseball League. The Rhode Island native and former Georgetown University coach was recently diagnosed with brain cancer. There is a GoFundMe page if you wish to aid his family … Happy birthday to Brian Denman, who is 67. The righthander started nine games for the Red Sox in 1982, going 3-4 with a 4.78 ERA from Aug. 22-Oct. 2. That was the extent of his major league career. Denman was in the Sox organization from 1978-84, making 155 starts. After two seasons with the Tigers in Triple A, he retired. Denman’s final two starts were against the Yankees. He couldn’t get out of the first inning at Fenway Park on Sept. 27, giving up six runs. Then on Oct. 2, Denman pitched a six-hit shutout at Yankee Stadium to beat Dave Righetti.

City on a Hill and As the World Turns actress Marnie Schulenburg died on Tuesday following a battle with cancer. She was 37.
Schulenburg's rep, Kyle Luker, confirmed the news to The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday. The Massachusetts native suffered from stage 4 metastatic breast cancer, which was discovered five months after her 2-year-old daughter, Coda, was born. Schulenburg is survived by her husband, Succession and Sorry for Your Loss actor Zack Robidas -- whom she wed in 2013 -- and their toddler.
Schulenburg made her daytime soap opera debut as Alison Stewart on CBS’ The Young and the Restless in 2007. She later portrayed Jo Sullivan on One Life to Live, and guest-starred on shows such as Blue Bloods, Fringe, Elementary, and The Good Fight. She also had a recurring role as Maggie Caysen on Showtime's City on a Hill, and will appear in the upcoming third season.
The actress penned an emotional Instagram post just one week ago, revealing she was released from the hospital with an oxygen machine just in time to spend Mother's Day with her daughter.
"It’s not my ideal to be a 38-year-old mom who needs an oxygen tank to survive right now," she wrote. "I want to be strong and beautiful for her. I want to show her how to move throughout this world with compassion, strength, vivacity, humor and joy like my Mother showed me."
"I know that me being here for her is the best gift I can give her but right now it feels like settling since she’s getting a half-life version of myself," Schulenburg continued. "My mother showed up 100% all day everyday for me growing up or at least it seemed that way. I want to give Coda the same but I must be kind to myself and remember that nothing is permanent."
In her post, Schulenburg added, "On May 8, 2020 I found out I had Breast Cancer and truly thought my life was over. Two years later I’m still here and my chances of sticking around her better each month that goes by. So here’s to remembering that nothing is permanent. To soaking up the imperfections and that the best thing you can do for your child is make them feel loved, safe and supported just like my mother did for me. Screw the oxygen mask, just remember how to breathe."
Over the past two years, Schulenburg was open about her cancer journey, and often shared intimate posts about what she was going through. In October 2020, she gave a special shoutout to her husband for being her "rock" during the difficult time.
"I forgot to post yesterday because I was enjoying being in the moment with this guy but I think it goes without saying that he is the literal best," she wrote. "If the 17 years of knowing him didn’t confirm that or the way he is with our daughter then how he’s handled being my rock during this profoundly difficult time has. I love you and Happy Birthday 🎂@zactoryrobotdance."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Chief Justice John Roberts on Tuesday put a temporary hold on the handover of former President Donald Trump's tax returns to a congressional committee.
Roberts' order gives the Supreme Court time to weigh the legal issues in Trump's emergency appeal to the high court, filed Monday.
Without court intervention, the tax returns could have been provided as early as Thursday by the Treasury Department to the Democratic-controlled House Ways and Means Committee.
Roberts gave the committee until Nov. 10 to respond. The chief justice handles emergency appeals from the nation's capital, where the fight over Trump's taxes has been going on since 2019.
Lower courts ruled that the committee has broad authority to obtain tax returns and rejected Trump’s claims that it was overstepping.
If Trump can persuade the nation’s highest court to intervene in this case, he could potentially delay a final decision until the start of the next Congress in January. If Republicans recapture control of the House in the fall election, they could drop the records request.
The temporary delay imposed by Roberts is the third such order issued by justices in recent days in cases related to Trump.
The court separately is weighing Sen. Lindsey Graham's emergency appeal to avoid having to testify before a Georgia grand jury that is investigating potential illegal interference by Trump and his allies in the 2020 election in the state.
Also before the court is an emergency appeal from Arizona Republican party chairwoman Kelli Ward to prevent the handover of phone records to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
The House Ways and Means panel and its chairman, Democrat Richard Neal of Massachusetts, first requested Trump’s tax returns in 2019 as part of an investigation into the Internal Revenue Service’s audit program and tax law compliance by the former president. A federal law says the Internal Revenue Service “shall furnish” the returns of any taxpayer to a handful of top lawmakers.
The Justice Department, under the Trump administration, had defended a decision by then-Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to withhold the tax returns from Congress. Mnuchin argued that he could withhold the documents because he concluded they were being sought by Democrats for partisan reasons. A lawsuit ensued.
After President Joe Biden took office, the committee renewed the request, seeking Trump’s tax returns and additional information from 2015-2020. The White House took the position that the request was a valid one and that the Treasury Department had no choice but to comply. Trump then attempted to halt the handover in court.
Then-Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. obtained copies of Trump’s personal and business tax records as part of a criminal investigation. That case, too, went to the Supreme Court, which rejected Trump’s argument that he had broad immunity as president.
Trump had most recently sought the justices’ intervention in a legal dispute stemming from the search of his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida in August. The court rejected that appeal. | 2022-11-01T15:31:06+00:00 | lmtonline.com | https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/Roberts-delays-handover-of-Trump-tax-returns-to-17549138.php |

Non-GAAP net loss per diluted share for the second quarter of 2022 was based on 68.3 million non-GAAP weighted-average diluted shares outstanding, compared to 67.2 million non-GAAP weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the second quarter of 2021. - Balance Sheet and Cash Flow: As of June 30, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term and long-term investments of $511.7 million, compared to $1.0 billion as of December 31, 2021. This reflects a $389.8 million cash outflow, net of cash acquired, related to the acquisition of Trifacta Inc. in February 2022. Cash used in operating activities for the first six months of 2022 was $(55.3) million, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $15.8 million for the first six months of 2021.

We provide the financial guidance below based on current market conditions and expectations. Our guidance is subject to various important cautionary factors described below. Based on information available as of August 2, 2022, guidance for the third quarter of 2022 and full year 2022 is as follows:
- Third Quarter 2022 Guidance:
- Full Year 2022 Guidance:
The financial outlook above for non-GAAP loss from operations and non-GAAP net loss per share excludes estimates for stock-based compensation and related payroll tax expense and acquisition-related adjustments. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis primarily because of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, stock-based compensation and related payroll tax expense and acquisition-related adjustments. In particular, stock-based compensation and related payroll tax expense is impacted by our future hiring and retention needs, as well as the future fair market value of our Class A common stock, all of which is not within our control, is difficult to predict, and is subject to constant change. The actual amount of these expenses during 2022 will have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial guidance measures to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort.
Alteryx will host a conference call today at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss the company's financial results and financial guidance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures. To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share, and non-GAAP weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
We use non-GAAP measures to internally evaluate and analyze financial results. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and enable comparison of our financial results with other public companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures. We exclude the following items from one or more of our non-GAAP financial measures:
Stock-based compensation expense. We exclude stock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash expense, from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that excluding this item provides meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance. In particular, companies calculate stock-based compensation expense using a variety of valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions.
Payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation. We exclude employer payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation to present the full effect that excluding stock-based compensation expense has on operating results. These expenses are tied to the exercise or vesting of underlying equity awards and the price of our common stock at the time of vesting or exercise, which may vary from period to period independent of the operating performance of the business.
Acquisition-related adjustments. We exclude amortization of intangible assets, which is non-cash and related to business combinations, from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, we exclude acquisition and integration expenses, such as transaction costs and costs associated with the applicable retention, restructuring and successful integration of operational activities of the acquired company, as they are related to a business combination and have no direct correlation to the operation of our business.
Convertible senior notes adjustments. Prior to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity, or ASU 2020-06, effective as of January 1, 2022, we excluded the portion of amortization of debt discount and issuance costs that relate to the equity component of our convertible notes, which are non-cash, from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures. We excluded such expenses as they are non-cash and have no direct correlation to the operation of our business. Upon adoption of ASU 2020-06, we removed the equity component of our convertible notes and the associated amortization and therefore, this adjustment is no longer applicable.
Impairment of long-lived assets. We exclude non-cash charges for impairment of long-lived assets from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures. Impairment charges can vary significantly in terms of amount and timing and we do not consider these charges indicative of our current or past operating performance.
Income tax adjustments. We utilize a fixed annual projected long-term non-GAAP tax rate in order to provide better consistency across reporting periods by eliminating the effects of items such as changes in the tax valuation allowance, excess tax benefits associated with stock options, and tax effects of acquisition-related costs, since each of these can vary in size and frequency. When projecting this rate, we exclude the direct impact of the following non-cash items: stock-based compensation expenses, amortization and impairment of purchased intangibles, and the amortization of debt discount and issuance costs. The projected rate also assumes no new acquisitions, and considers other factors including our expected tax structure, our tax positions in various jurisdictions and key legislation in major jurisdictions where we operate. We used a projected non-GAAP tax rate of 20% for both 2022 and 2021. The non-GAAP tax rate could be subject to change for a variety of reasons, including the rapidly evolving global tax environment, significant changes in our geographic earnings mix including due to acquisition activity, or other changes to our strategy or business operations. We will re-evaluate our long-term rate as appropriate.
Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, we exclude stock-based compensation and related payroll tax expense and amortization of intangible assets which are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. The non-GAAP measures we use may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP items excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures.
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). Annual recurring revenue, or ARR, represents the total annual contract value for active customer subscription contracts as of the measurement date. We also use ARR as one of our operating measures to assess the health and trajectory of our business. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue as ARR is a performance metric and is not intended to be a substitute for, or combined with, any of these items.
This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding our guidance for the third quarter and full year 2022, our ability to execute our long-term growth strategy, our mission regarding the democratization of data, including the related market opportunity and customer prioritization, the anticipated value and customer acceptance of our product innovation, our non-GAAP tax rate for 2022, the potential benefits of our strategic technology partnerships and strategic alliances, and other future events.

Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). ARR represents the annualized recurring value of all active subscription contracts at the end of a reporting period and excludes the value of non-recurring revenue streams, such as certain professional services. Both multi-year contracts and contracts with terms less than one year are annualized by dividing the total committed contract value by the number of months in the subscription term and then multiplying by twelve (in millions).
Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate. Our dollar-based net expansion rate is a trailing four-quarter average of the annual contract value, or ACV, which is defined as the subscription revenue that we would contractually expect to recognize over the term of the contract divided by the term of the contract, in years, from a cohort of customers in a quarter as compared to the same quarter in the prior year. To calculate our dollar-based net expansion rate, we first identify a cohort of customers, or the Base Customers, in a particular quarter, or the Base Quarter. A customer will not be considered a Base Customer unless such customer has an active subscription on the last day of the Base Quarter. We then divide the ACV in the same quarter of the subsequent year attributable to the Base Customers, or the Comparison Quarter, including Base Customers from which we no longer derive ACV in the Comparison Quarter, by the ACV attributable to those Base Customers in the Base Quarter. Our dollar-based net expansion rate in a particular quarter is then obtained by averaging the result from that particular quarter with the corresponding result from each of the prior three quarters. The dollar-based net expansion rate excludes contract value relating to professional services from that cohort.
Number of Customers. We define a customer at the end of any particular period as an entity with a subscription agreement that runs through the current or future period as of the measurement date. Organizations with free trials have not entered into a subscription agreement and are not considered customers. A single organization with separate subsidiaries, segments, or divisions that use our platform may represent multiple customers, as we treat each entity that is invoiced separately as a single customer. In cases where customers subscribe to our platform through our channel partners, each end customer is counted separately.
Remaining Performance Obligations. Remaining performance obligations represent amounts from contracts with customers allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations that are not yet recorded in revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of operations (in millions).
Contract Assets. Contract assets primarily relate to unbilled amounts for contracts with customers for which the amount of revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when the right to invoice becomes unconditional in our condensed consolidated balance sheets (in millions).

One night after attending the State of the Union address with other members of Congress, Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., spent last night in the hospital. His office says Fetterman reported feeling lightheaded on Wednesday, and was kept overnight for observation.
The senator is in good spirits and has been talking with his staff and family, his office said.
Fetterman was at a Senate Democratic retreat when he started feeling unwell, his communications director, Joe Calvello, said in a statement to journalists. That retreat was reportedly held at the Library of Congress.
"He left and called his staff, who picked him up and drove him to the George Washington University Hospital," Calvello said.
Fetterman's health has been a running undercurrent to his rise to the Senate. He suffered a stroke last year, just before winning his primary race. That prompted the implantation of a pacemaker and defibrillator, and Fetterman said he had previously been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation — an irregular heart rhythm that can cause blood-flow issues.
"Initial tests did not show evidence of a new stroke," Calvello said, but doctors wanted to run more tests and keep the senator in their care overnight.
On Thursday evening, Calvello said the results of an MRI and other tests ruled out a new stroke. He added that Fetterman is also being monitored for seizures.
News of Fetterman's latest hospital stay comes days after he joined President Biden and other Democrats at the Democratic National Committee's winter meeting in Philadelphia.

Latest release establishes the High QA 360 platform to advance, accelerate and automate manufacturing quality processes
HAZLET, N.J., June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- High QA, a provider of software solutions that enable manufacturing companies to efficiently create, manage and monitor all quality requirements across manufactured parts, today announced version 7.0 of its manufacturing quality management software. This latest release targets APQP/PPAP quality processes by incorporating new technology advancements from the High QA 360 platform including production quality planning workflows, improved reporting and documentation capabilities for FAI, APQP and PPAP, additional quality process features and overall improvements.
"By installing High QA software, we have been able to improve our manufacturing procedures. We have a 72% average savings on quality planning and reporting processes," said Amr Sufian, Project Engineer, Beverston Engineering. (http://www.beverston.co.uk/, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti1PqilFULI&t=3s)
With version 7.0, High QA enhances the quality manufacturing management process and establishes the innovative High QA 360 platform. Adding new features and expanding the software better facilitates APQP/PPAP quality documentation and reporting needs throughout the manufacturing supply chain. Users can now review any job or order to see what documents are required, what stage the documents are in and who is responsible for a particular document with full transparency and accountability.
High QA PQP (Production Quality Planning) is an innovative, non-Excel-based, project management solution for quality and manufacturing teams to plan, implement, and monitor all quality and documentation requirements such as PPAP across their manufactured parts.
- Standard out-of-the-box and configurable templates for FAI, SPC Capability Studies, Gage R&R, P-Flow, P-FMEA, Control Plan and more
- Dynamic generation of reports for in-process document management without Excel or Word
- Automatic notifications, signature assignments and document approval management
- Comprehensive revision control and traceability for all document activity history
Inspection plans for part instances of tabulated drawings are centrally set up and initiated through "Master Parts" in High QA. The comprehensive tool kit enables you to:
- Create a "Tabulated Master" part record and define tabulated dimensions
- Automatically extract tabulated parameters table from drawing with OCR technology
- Generate part records with one-click for any or all tabulated instances
Part Categories allow users to create templates for settings and preferences which can be applied when creating new parts. Part records inherit settings and preferences from the assigned Part Category. This allows for unmatched standardization across your organization and highly efficient creation of all part / job records.
High QA has implemented new functionality giving users the ability to define when a job or project is in "Planning" or "Active" status.
- Planning Stage - Creation of ballooned drawing, defining inspection requirements and operations, etc. Inspection results cannot be recorded in the planning stage.
- Active Stage - Released to the shop floor. Actively recording inspection results. Ballooned drawing, inspection requirements, operations, etc. cannot be altered.
All new features and enhancements work seamlessly with a centralized database and create an integrated quality management software for manufacturing.
"High QA is continuing to help companies convert from manual quality processes focused on pass/fail evaluations at the end of manufacturing to an automated proactive error-prevention quality solution during the manufacturing process. This type of quality management solution creates collaboration between engineering and manufacturing that provides a significant value to OEMs, manufacturers and supply chains by delivering quality parts on time and on budget every time," said Sam Golan, High QA Founder and CEO. "Version 7.0 of our software along with the High QA 360 platform is another breakthrough technology in manufacturing quality management that we are proud to share with our customers."
