Casabe, Cuba’s little-known traditional bread, seeks world recognition
By ANDREA RODRÍGUEZ
Associated Press
QUIVICÁN, Cuba (AP) — Cuba is leading a delegation of Caribbean nations, including Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Honduras and Haiti, to formally request UNESCO to add casabe, a little-known ancestral flatbread made of yuca, cassava, to the organization’s list of Intangible Cultural Heritage. The goal is to get casabe the recognition it deserves as one of Cuba’s oldest dishes and to protect the millenary tradition associated with its harvesting, production and consumption. The multi-country request comes as the gluten-free, thin, crispy type of tortilla makes a comeback in the island, with entrepreneurs promoting its benefits and restaurants increasingly adding it to their menus. | 2023-06-05T18:30:58+00:00 | keyt.com | https://keyt.com/news/2023/06/05/casabe-cubas-little-known-traditional-bread-seeks-world-recognition/ |
Last May, six people were injured by gunfire at a graduation party on South Front Street in Anniston. Though none of the injuries was fatal, Anniston police Chief Nick Bowles said he wants to get ahead of the potentially lethal ramifications of these parties.
Bowles has a message for parents: “If you value your child’s life, if you value their safety, do not send them to these events. Period,” he said.
There is one type of party to which Bowles is referring, and that’s the large parties that are open to the public, advertised widely, and scarcely supervised by adults.
Sheriff Matthew Wade shared a list of goals, frustrations and successes Tuesday morning when he addressed the chamber's annual State of Law Enforcement forum
“I’m monitoring a party right now that some kids that look like they’re coming from Talladega County, having a big party in Anniston, and they’re openly advertising on Facebook that they’re going to be drinking and doing illegal things,” Bowles said. “We are going to be there. We are going to heavily police that.”
Bowles said the Anniston police will have a zero tolerance policy for illegal activity for minors. He said he feels parents need to be aware of where their kids are going and who they are with. A large mixture of people with different rival groups showing up, violence is inevitable.
“My advice to parents is ‘Don’t send your kids to a party here if you don’t know that they’re being supervised by adults or that they’re being legal with their parties,” Bowles said.
Businesses that rent spaces out for parties such as these will also be held accountable, Bowles said. Smaller house parties that are contained with a certain number of people on the guest list are typically quiet and safe. It’s when larger groups of people get together that it spells trouble.
Bowles mentioned the attacks in Dadeville where four people died by gunfire at a “Sweet 16” party, and said that could very easily happen here.
“We’re not going to do it. I’m not going to subject the community to violence, I’m not going to subject other people’s children to violence. We are going to crack down on these parties,” Bowles said.
Bowles’ frustration was clear as he spoke. “I’m tired of it,” he said.
“I don’t want to have to go knock on someone’s door at midnight telling them that their child is not coming home from a graduation party,” Bowles said. “This should be a great time in their lives. This should be one of the happiest times that they’ve reached this milestone and potentially someone’s child could not come home.”
Bowles said in recent years, there has been a rise of adults renting out spaces to have these large parties that host everyone that wants to come, advertising the parties on social media and boasting of illegal activities for minors such as drinking.
There are legal ways to host a larger party that are safer, such as renting a space in the City Meeting Center that are monitored by law enforcement.
Jacksonville police Chief Marcus Wood echoed Bowles’ statements, urging parents and teens to stay safe.
“Even though parents want their kids to be able to celebrate themselves graduating, I think it’s important that they know where their kids are, that they talk to their kids,” Wood said.
Parents should speak to their teens about knowing their surroundings and having the forethought to leave an area if they know violence is about to occur.
“A lot of times kids will know a fight or something is about to happen and everybody wants to stick around and see the fight and record the fight instead of getting out of the area where the fight is about to happen,” Wood said.
Tempers flare and fist-fights can escalate to other more lethal types of violence, Wood said. Wood also wanted to stress that it is the parent’s duty not to supply their kids with alcohol or drugs, as those that do will be held legally liable.
“We can still honor kids and celebrate kids that are graduating with everybody doing their part to make sure everybody stays safe,” Wood said.
Bowles said people often look to the police after the fact with a “where were you” attitude, and police weren’t invited to the party. Law enforcement can't know when guns are going to be involved at a particular party prior to the event.
He said once police become involved, it’s too late. “Parents. Don’t send your children to these parties,” Bowles said. | 2023-05-13T01:09:44+00:00 | annistonstar.com | https://www.annistonstar.com/free/anniston-police-chief-warns-parents-about-mass-invitation-barely-supervised-graduation-parties/article_6f0e1b22-f114-11ed-9a83-0b634834d6c3.html |
ATLANTA — It was a midterm election for the history books, but it's not over for Georgia's Senate candidates.
Neither Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock nor Herschel Walker cleared the 50% + 1 threshold to earn a seat in the U.S. Senate. This means Georgia voters will have to head to the polls once again to sound off who they want to represent them in the nation's capital.
As Republicans and Democrats try to convince voters to head back to the polls for the Dec. 6 Election Day, some are wondering if they can register in time for the runoff race.
THE QUESTION
Can I register to vote before Georgia's Senate runoff election?
THE SOURCES
Georgia's Election Integrity Law 2021 (SB202)
Georgia's Secretary of State Office's Voter Guide
Andra Gillespie, Emory University Associate Professor of Political Science
THE ANSWER
No, not under Georgia's Election Integrity Act of 2021 - more commonly known as SB202.
WHAT WE FOUND
Georgia currently has 6,953,485 registered voters - and it will stay that way, at least for the runoff.
This is because of the state's newest election law, SB202, outlines the timeline for runoff elections and the time span voters can register before an election.
Gov. Kemp signed the Election Integrity Act of 2021 into law last March. The legislation deems that runoff elections must be held on the 28th day after a general or special primary election. This means instead of the previous nine weeks, voters will have four weeks to cast a ballot in a runoff election. Under this timeline, it marks Georgia's Senate runoff for Dec. 6 on the election calendar.
SB202 also outlines that a voter must register 30 days before an election. This leaves a two-day gap between voter registration and when a runoff must be scheduled -- which means no new voters can be registered in the period before the runoff.
"So basically, anybody who is already registered to vote is going to be eligible to vote in the next election so as long as you were registered to vote by Election Day," 11Alive political analyst and Emory University associate professor Andra Gillespie said. "So anybody who was registering to vote now would not be eligible to vote in the runoff election."
Under Georgia's election law, the voter registration deadline would be the day before the earlier election that triggered the runoff. According to the Secretary of State's Office, the last day to register to vote in Georgia's general election was Nov. 7, a day before Election Day.
In this case, it means Warnock and Walker will have to appeal to voters who may have not turned out to the ballot box in the first place and really hone in on their supporters, Gillespie added.
"So suffice to say, there is already a ready-made pool of registered nonvoters in the midterm election who could still be mobilized to be able to vote for both the Democrats and the Republicans on Dec. 6," she said. "And so I expect that both parties are going to be looking at that data and targeting the most likely of those nonvoters to get them to come out to vote for them on Dec. 6."
Data from the Secretary of State's Office shows that a little more than half of the state's registered voters cast their ballot during Georgia's midterm election.
That leaves about 2,995,250 registered voters for two candidates to court and convince to show out in the runoff. | 2022-11-10T03:27:11+00:00 | 11alive.com | https://www.11alive.com/article/news/verify/runoff-election-register-to-vote-verify/85-44fe726e-e2a6-420e-84ea-fb492654dcb0 |
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce ended up putting on a performance that made The Fonz proud.
Mahomes connected with Kelce for three touchdowns — including the go-ahead score with 31 seconds remaining — as the Kansas City Chiefs rallied past the Los Angeles Chargers 30-27 on Sunday night to stay atop the AFC.
Mahomes met Emmy Award-winning actor Henry Winkler before the game. Winkler, who played Fonzie for 12 seasons on the iconic television show “Happy Days”, received a signed jersey on the sideline. Kelce got in the act by wearing a t-shirt before the game that had a picture of The Fonz and said “Football. Family. Fonzie”.
When Mahomes and the Chiefs got the ball at the KC 25-yard line with 1:46 remaining, he had his usual cool and calm presence.
“When I went in the huddle, it was let’s just do it. Everyone had the mindset of take it one play at a time and get it when it counts,” said Mahomes, completed 20 of 34 passes for 329 yards.
After the Chargers had pulled ahead 27-23 on Justin Herbert’s 6-yard touchdown pass to Joshua Palmer with 1:46 left, Mahomes directed a six-play, 75-yard drive that took just 1:15.
It was the 11th time in the regular-season that Mahomes had a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter.
Despite missing two receivers due to injuries, he completed 3 of 4 for 48 yards on the drive and scrambled twice for an additional 22.
The Chiefs also benefitted from a third-down holding call on Chargers’ safety Derwin James after an incomplete pass.
After a 16-yard run by Mahomes and Kansas City timeout, Mahomes hit Kelce on a short crossing route that Kelce took to the end zone for a 17-yard touchdown,
“We didn’t have our full arsenal of weapons. I was ready for the matchup,” said Kelce, who had six catches for 115 yards. “I knew they were going to play man-to-man and Patrick was going to look for me when it was 1-on-1. I was able to finish the game off on a positive note.”
Herbert and the Chargers had one final chance, but Nick Bolton intercepted a deflected pass to seal it for the Chiefs (8-2), who swept the season series from Los Angeles (5-5) and took a three-game lead in the AFC West.
It is the third straight year the Chargers have had a late lead at home against the Chiefs and were unable to finish.
“You should be frustrated. To not beat those guys is disappointing because we felt like our level was good enough to win, but we didn’t finish plays in that fourth quarter to get it done,” Chargers coach Brandon Staley said after Los Angeles lost its second straight to fall to 5-5.
With a one-game lead over four teams in the conference, Kansas City is in position to claim home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
Kelce scored at least three touchdowns for the second time in his career. He scored four in a Monday night win over the Raiders on Oct. 10.
Chiefs rookie Isiah Pacheco rushed for a career-high 107 yards.
“Patrick and Travis calm everything down on both sides of the ball. The good players really stepped up when we needed it,” coach Andy Reid said. “I’m proud of our guys for stepping up offensively and defensively. That’s big-time football at the right time.
Herbert went 23 of 30 for 280 yards and two touchdowns, both to Palmer, who had eight receptions for 106 yards. It was easily the Chargers’ best offensive performance in nearly a month as the unit was bolstered by the return of receivers Keenan Allen and Mike Williams.
Allen, playing only his third game due to a nagging hamstring injury, had five receptions for 94 yards, including a 46-yard catch up the right sideline on the go-ahead drive to put the ball on the Chiefs 16-yard line.
“Mike (Williams) is about as tough as it gets, and Keenan (Allen), too. They’re special competitors, so any time that you get those guys out on the field, something good is going to happen. But, unfortunately, it didn’t go our way today,” Herbert said.
Austin Ekeler had 100 yards (83 rushing, 17 receiving) and a touchdown.
KELCE’S RECORD NIGHT
It was Kelce’s 34th game with at least 100 yards receiving, surpassing Rob Gronkowski for the most by a tight end in NFL history. Eight of his 11 TDs this season have come in prime-time games.
Kelce gave Kansas City a 13-10 lead early in the second quarter on a 4-yard screen pass where he imitated Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders’ high-skipping dance on his way to the end zone.
Kelce’s 32-yard touchdown on the opening play of the fourth quarter put the Chiefs on top 23-20. Kelce caught the ball at the LA 26 after Asante Samuel Jr. made a diving attempt, broke a tackle by Nasir Adderley at the 16 and went up the right sideline for the score.
QUICK START
After Harrison Butker’s 33-yard field goal on the opening possession gave the Chiefs a 3-0 lead, the Charges promptly answered on their first drive in three plays. Palmer beat Juan Thornhill in single coverage and Herbert found him for a 50-yard touchdown.
It was the first time in 20 regular-season games that Kansas City had allowed a touchdown on an opening drive.
INJURIES
Chiefs: RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire suffered an ankle injury in the first quarter, Thornhill had a calf injury in the second quarter and WR Kadarius Toney strained a hamstring in the third quarter. None returned to the game.
Chargers: Williams’ return was short-lived. He reinjured his ankle after a 15-yard reception in the first quarter. … LB Kenneth Murray came out in the third quarter with a neck injury. … S Nasir Adderley had a thumb injury in the fourth quarter.
UP NEXT
Chiefs: Host the Los Angeles Rams next Sunday.
Chargers: Return to the road to face the Arizona Cardinals next Sunday.

BROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) — Bryson DeChambeau called his move to the LIV Golf series “a business decision,” and a difficult one at that.
The 2020 U.S. Open champion, who as recently as 10 days ago had said he was sticking with the PGA Tour, offered his first comments about his change of heart Monday after a practice round at The County Club.
“At the end of the day, it’s a business decision for my family’s future,” he said. “And it gave me a lot more free time.”
The big-hitting 28-year-old, who has been hampered by a hand injury for most of this year, says the money he’ll get for playing the series will also help him build his charitable foundation. DeChambeau is unmarried and has no children.
Much as Phil Mickelson had in a news conference earlier in the day, DeChambeau didn’t want to delve into the politics of where the money is coming from — the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia — or how the PGA Tour will react to his decision. Like Mickelson, DeChambeau has not surrendered his tour card.
“It’s not my decision to make,” he said about his future on the PGA Tour, where he has $26.3 million in career earnings and eight of his 10 worldwide victories.
DeChambeau is scheduled to make his LIV series debut next month in Portland, Oregon. He said the decision to play on the Saudi-backed tour was one that he did not take lightly.
“Very difficult,” he said. “It’s been weighing on everyone out here for the last couple of years.”
LOCAL FAVORITE
Growing up 15 minutes away from The Country Club, Michael Thorbjornsen knows plenty about the course and its history.
Most of it from the movies.
A resident of nearby Wellesley, Thorbjornsen has seen “The Greatest Game Ever Played” eight times but only once played the course where the film about Francis Ouimet's 1913 U.S. Open victory took place.
“I mean, Tom Brady tried to become a member here. I think it took him a long time,” Thorbjornsen said Monday after a practice round for the U.S. Open. “It feels really cool to be on property."
The Country Club is hosting the U.S. Open for the fourth time. After Ouimet, an amateur who lived across the street and caddied at the club, beat English professionals Harry Vardon and Ted Ray in a playoff in 1913, Julius Boros won in 1963 and Curtis Strange won in 1988.
In the 1999 Ryder Cup, the Americans charged back from a 10-6 deficit on the final day for a victory dubbed “The Battle of Brookline.”
Thorbjornsen wasn't born yet for any of that, and he was only 13 when the USGA announced the course would host the 2022 U.S. Open.
“At that moment, I made it my goal to qualify for this event,” said Thorbjornsen, who played a practice round on Monday with a high school friend, with his family following him around the course. “It felt great. It feels like a home event.”
BACK IN TOWN
Matt Fitzpatrick didn’t only leave his first visit to The Country Club with a nice shiny trophy. He also made some lifelong friends.
The 2013 U.S. Amateur champion is staying with the same family that hosted him when he won the tournament in Brookline. The Englishman spent his first-ever Thanksgiving with the Fulton family later that year when he was in college at Northwestern, and also visited them in 2016.
“We came for a week and played the course and stuff,” Fitzpatrick said. “Staying with them this week, which is going to be good fun.”
The U.S. Amateur victory earned Fitzpatrick a spot in the British Open and the following year’s Masters and U.S. Open, along with invitations to a handful of PGA Tour events. He earned his first professional win at the British Masters in 2015 and has won six other tournaments in Europe and Asia.
“All of a sudden it opens up all these doors. I never realized how big of a deal it was over here until after winning,” he said on Monday. “So I’ve got all these events that I’ve been invited to, and just opportunities to get experience playing professional golf. ... Because of winning here, it sort of gave me that experience.”
Fitzpatrick finished tied for seventh at the Masters in 2016 and has twice finished tied for 12th at the U.S. Open. He is coming off his best-ever performance at a major, a tie for fifth at the PGA Championship after shooting 73 on Sunday.
“It was disappointing at first when you come off the golf course and sort of the realization that you had a chance to win and you’ve not taken it,” he said. “I feel like I’m playing well. I feel like I just made so many mistakes last week, just simple bogeys that you clear them up and all of a sudden you’re picking up a lot of shots.”
Fitzpatrick was 18 and heading off to college when he first came to Brookline in 2013, and he said it was a thrill to have his family with him, with his brother on the bag.
But not all the memories of the area are good.
“I don’t really like Thanksgiving food. It’s not for me,” he said, calling green beans the “worst thing ever invented.”
Asked if he had ever tasted New England clam chowder on one of his visits, he said: “Never tried it, but probably terrible.”
NICE GROUPING
Shane Lowry will have the best seat at Brookline to hear how fans respond to Phil Mickelson and other players who have joined a Saudi-funded rival league. He is in the same group as Phil Mickelson and Louis Oosthuizen, both of whom played in the LIV Golf Invitational last week.
It was a delicate act for the USGA, which often has fun with the tee times.
Sergio Garcia and Kevin Na also are in the rival league, and both have heard their share of heckling even without having to mention Saudi Arabia. They are paired together and joined by Tyrrell Hatton.
One traditional group is the defending champion (Jon Rahm), the British Open champion (Collin Morikawa) and the U.S. Amateur champion (James Piot), even though Piot is now a pro. He also was on the LIV Golf circuit last week.

Jason Aldean’s ‘Try That in a Small Town’ hits No. 1 on Billboard country chart after controversy
(Gray News) – Jason Aldean is making waves on the Billboard music charts this week following the controversy over his new single “Try That in a Small Town” and its music video.
As of Tuesday morning, the song debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 2 on the Billboard Global 200, and No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart.
Aldean is also ranked third on the Billboard Artist 100 this week, with Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen claiming the first and second place spots, respectively.
Last week, “Try That in a Small Town” made headlines after its music video was released, which garnered mixed reactions. Some said it was glorifying lynching, racial tension, and violence.
Controversial imagery and messages throughout the song and video include protests and riots in large cities, with Aldean saying that behavior wouldn’t fly in small towns.
“Cuss out a cop, spit in his face / Stomp on the flag and light it up / Yeah, ya think you’re tough / Well, try that in a small town / See how far ya make it down the road,” the country star sings.
The music video is stocked with news footage from recent years, showing protests in big cities, American flags being burned, and attacks on police officers.
Adding to the controversy, viewers noted that the music video was shot in front of the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee, where an 18-year-old Black man named Henry Choate was lynched in 1927.
One viral tweet read, “Jason Aldean shot this at the site where a white lynch mob strung Henry Choate up at the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tenn., after dragging his body through the streets with a car in 1927. That’s where Aldean chose to sing about murdering people who don’t respect police.”
The courthouse was also the site of the infamous Columbia Race Riot in 1946 that left two Black men dead, more than 100 arrested, and 25 tried by jury on charges of shooting at white police officers.
Following the criticism, CMT pulled the music video from its rotation, but Aldean came back to defend it.
The singer posted a message on his Instagram story and to his Twitter account, writing in part:
“In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Bedding provider Tempur Sealy has agreed to acquire Mattress Firm in a cash-and stock-transaction valued at about $4 billion, the companies said Tuesday.
Mattress Firm operates more than 2,300 brick-and-mortar retail locations and an e-commerce platfom. After the Tempur Sealy acquistion is complete, the two companies will have a total of some 3,000 retail stores, 30 e-commerce platforms, 71 manufacturing facilities and four research and development facilities worldwide.
“This combination will accelerate our growth trajectory and enhance operating cash flow,” Tempur Sealy Chairman and CEO Scott Thompson said in a statement. “Mattress Firm has been a valued retail partner for more than 35 years, and we look forward to welcoming their talented workforce of more than 8,100 employees to the Tempur Sealy family.”
Mattress Firm CEO John Eck added that the transaction will increase the companies’ ability “to better address consumers’ needs and drive growth.”
Tempur Sealy will pay about $2.7 billion in cash and $1.3 billion in stock to Mattress Firm, which is partially owned by Steinhoff International Holdings NV. That reflects the issuance of 34.2 million common shares, based on Monday’s closing share price of $37.62.
After the transaction is complete, Mattress Firm shareholders will own about 16.6% of the combined company and Tempur Sealy shareholders will own the rest.
The companies expect to complete the transaction in the second half of 2024. After the acquistion is complete, Mattress Firm is set to operate as a separate business unit within Tempur Sealy.
Tempur Sealy received a request frm the Federal Trade Commission for additional information and documents related to the transaction. The company plans to “work cooperatively” with the FTC to complete the acquistion.
Piper Sandler said in a note Tuesday the prospect of Tempur Sealy acquiring Mattress Firm “has been discussed for many, many months within the industry.” The investment banking and research firm expects a long FTC review process, noting that the transaction marks a “seismic deal for the mattress industry.”
Neil Saunders, managing director of data analytics company GlobalData, said selling Mattress Firm has been a “priority” for Steinhoff as the parent company looks to pay down debt.
Saunders added that the deal will allow Tempur Sealy to expand its distribution and reach more consumers at a crucial time for increasing sales.
“Tempur Sealy will also hope that Mattress Firm helps them to buck the current slowdown in sales which is being caused by the cost-of-living crisis and many households having upgraded their mattresses during the pandemic,” Saunders said.
But the full impact of the acquistion is still unknown. Saunders points to the high purchase price and other challenges retailers like Mattress Firm face today — including the disruption from a “raft of specialist new entrants to the market, most of which sell directly to consumers” and “pressure from the expansion of home players like IKEA.”
While Mattress Firm and Tempur Sealy have a long history as retail partners, the two have had a rocky relationship in recent years. The companies temporarily ended their partnership in January 2017 — in a move that notably removed popular Tempur-Pedic beds from Mattress Firm stores.
The following year, in August 2018, Tempur-Pedic sued Mattress Firm for allegedly “selling confusingly similar products under the ‘Therapedic’ name, and copying the look and feel of the entire Tempur-Pedic brand and consumer experience.” Tempur-Pedic also accused Mattress Firm of continuing to sell Tempur-Pedic mattresses beyond the 2017 end of their partnership.
In October 2018, Mattress Firm filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and closed hundreds of stores. At the time, the Houston-based company pointed to years of overexpansion that resulted in “cannibalization” of sales. Mattress Firm’s then-CEO Steve Stagner later resigned in April 2019.
Months after Stagner’s resignation, Tempur Sealy and Mattress Firm reconciled with a new, long-term supply agreement.
In addition to announcing plans to acquire Mattress Firm on Tuesday, Tempur Sealy also reported a first-quarter profit of $85.3 million, or 48 cents per share. Ecluding one-time items, earnings were 53 cents per share.
The Kentucky-based mattress maker said revenue slipped 2.5% to $1.21 billion from $1.24 billion. | 2023-05-09T19:56:33+00:00 | keloland.com | https://www.keloland.com/business/ap-business/tempur-sealy-to-buy-matress-firm-in-4-billion-deal/ |
FAIRVIEW PARK, Ohio -- When looking back over the last year, Fairview Park Mayor Patrick Cooney said there were numerous accomplishments where the city leveraged outside funding sources.

LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech broke a scoreless tie in the 78th minute and added a second goal in the final seconds to secure the team’s fifth straight win with a 2-0 decision over Baylor on Thursday at the John Walker Soccer Complex.
Senior Charlotte Teeter scored the game-winner on senior night.
“It was classic Teeter right-foot laces to the far post,” head coach Tom Stone said. “She’s done that her whole career and it brought the house down.”
Teeter also assisted on Gisselle Kozarski’s goal in the 90th minute.
Teeter and senior Sierra Jones were celebrated before the match for their contributions to the program.
The Red Raiders (9-3-5, 5-1-2 Big 12) are now tied with Texas for first place in the Big 12 standings with 17 points.

A trio of Democratic lawmakers introduced a bill on Thursday that would protect access to assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), as organizations that support abortion access raise concerns that Republicans may go after such treatments going forward.
Democratic Sens. Tammy Duckworth (Ill.) and Patty Murray (Wash.) and Rep. Susan Wild (D-Pa.) introduced a bill named the “Right to Build Families Act of 2022,” which would bar states from limiting a person’s access to fertility treatments or a health care providers ability to provides such services.
“Republicans’ extreme abortion bans are forcing women to stay pregnant against their will and are, at the very same time, threatening Americans’ ability to build a family through services like IVF. It’s hard to comprehend, and it’s just plain wrong,” Murray said in a statement.
Duckworth, who underwent IVF treatments to conceive her two children, agreed that the overturning of Roe v. Wade had sparked concerns among Americans about accessing reproductive technologies.
When abortion bans went into effect across multiple states earlier this year with the overturning of Roe, infertility patients and health care providers expressed concerns that treatments like IVF could be threatened.
Northern Kentucky University law professor Judith Daar told NPR earlier this year that state legislatures will have to determine how IVF is affected, possibility indirectly or inadvertently, by abortion laws.
“If the legislature does view the unborn human life at its earliest moments as something worthy of protection over other interests, including the interest of patients and forming their families, then laws could move forward that are restrictive to in vitro fertilization,” Daar said.
IVF involves the collection of mature eggs that are then fertilized in a lab before being transferred to a uterus, frozen or discarded. As some states have enacted laws that use the term “unborn child” to refer to an embryo from the moment it is conceived, patients and providers worry that IVF services could fall under the scrutiny of hardline lawmakers.
Multiple embryos can be created in a successful IVF cycle and several can be transferred. Not all embryos are always transferred, however, and many end up abandoned or discarded, which may occur because the prospective parents have not responded to a clinics inquiries or because there are signs that the embryo has abnormalities not compatible with life.
The bill introduced on Thursday would not only protect access to assisted reproductive technologies, but would also give the Department of Justice the authority to take civil action against entities that are found to violate the law.
Some Republican state lawmakers have already discussed further regulation of IVF in the post-Roe era. ProPublica obtained recordings of a meeting between Tennessee GOP lawmakers and anti-abortion activists in which they raised the possibility of enacting regulations on contraception and IVF in a few years.
Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti (R) clarified that his state’s abortion ban did not apply to embryos that have not been transferred to a uterus and the related disposal would not be treated as a criminal abortion.
Former Republican New Hampshire Senate candidate Don Bolduc had indicated he would move to stop the disposal of embryos in recordings obtained by Vanity Fair earlier this year, calling it “a disgusting practice.” Bolduc ultimately lost to incumbent Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan.
GOP leaders in Congress have not commented on the potential for heightened regulation of IVF and the disposal of embryos. Some Republicans have recently expressed their own personal support for the treatment.
Former Vice President Mike Pence voiced his support for protecting IVF in an interview last month, saying, “I fully support fertility treatments and I think they deserve the protection of the law,” while appearing on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” Pence and his wife Karen Pence underwent multiple rounds of IVF treatments themselves. | 2022-12-15T21:15:54+00:00 | siouxlandproud.com | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/hill-politics/democrats-unveil-legislation-outlining-plan-for-right-to-fertility-treatments/ |

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ken Blanchard Companies®, a global leader in management training, consulting, and coaching, released the results of its 2022 Manager Challenges Survey. Its purpose was to gain real-time insight into the lives of today's working managers, given the heightened pace of change, the broad impacts of COVID, and the shift of power from employers to employees.
This is Blanchard's first year conducting the survey. Polling was carried out via email during May and June 2022. More than 800 managers participated from around the world and from all levels within organizations. Participants represented the experiences of frontline and middle managers, together with senior managers, directors, and executive managers.
The Blanchard survey included both structured and unstructured questions. Over 70,000 data points were included in the analysis.
Jay Campbell, Chief Product Officer with The Ken Blanchard Companies, analyzed the responses and shared three key themes in an August webinar debuting the results.
Theme #1: Managers are suffering from fragmentation. The majority of manager respondents say they have too many priorities to focus on, are spread across too many projects, have too many goals, and are unclear on priorities. As a result, managers find themselves being pulled in multiple directions with 62% of managers feeling this simultaneous squeeze and stretch.
Theme #2: Managers are overworked. Respondents reported working an average of 48.5 hours per week. But that didn't mean managers were getting all their work done. When asked, "How long would it take to complete your work?" managers estimated it would require 62.5 hours weekly. Not surprisingly, two out of three managers have experienced burnout in the last 12 months.
Theme #3: Managers give themselves a mixed grade on effectiveness. On a scale of 1 to 10, managers rate their overall effectiveness at 7.55. Effectiveness scores were gathered on 15 additional dimensions with ratings ranging from a high of 7.9 on listening skills to a low of 5.4 out of 10 for recruiting skills. This showed many areas where managers rated their effectiveness as surprisingly low, including important areas like encouraging innovation, dealing with conflict, and tracking progress against goals.
"Today's managers are carrying a heavy load. They feel overburdened with responsibilities, overworked, and do not feel very effective in their roles. They are squeezed between their responsibilities to achieve organizational goals, support their direct reports, and pursue their own goals. It's a high-pressure vortex of work and stress for many managers," said Campbell.
He went on to say, "Organizations can help by honoring their requests for more time to complete their tasks and mentor their people, along with additional budget for hiring and upskilling staff. If that's not possible, protect them from being overly fragmented by providing more vision and clarity to help them manage and prioritize."

US announces sanctions on Mexican migrant-trafficking gang
MEXICO CITY (AP) — The United States Treasury has announced sanctions on a Mexico-based migrant-trafficking gang that supplied asylum seekers with false papers to game the process. Known as the Hernandez Salas organization, the gang is based in the border city of Mexicali, across the border from Calexico, California. Since at least 2018, the gang organized travel by migrants from “countries posing national security concerns,” according to the Treasury Department. The gang then smuggled them into United States. The department said the practice “undermines the U.S. asylum system” and hurts those who really need asylum protection. | 2023-06-16T20:16:05+00:00 | localnews8.com | https://localnews8.com/news/ap-national/2023/06/16/us-announces-sanctions-on-mexican-migrant-trafficking-gang/ |

Lynn Hoffman carried an ice pack around school the day after every start. His fingers were swollen from all those blazing fastballs.
Hoffman didn’t mind. It was a small price to pay for the job of a lifetime. He was Bruce Sutter’s personal catcher at Donegal.
Those were memorable times for the kids in the green caps. They comprised the school’s greatest baseball team, won a championship and walked alongside a future legend.
Sutter, who died of cancer last week at age 69, is Lancaster County’s only baseball Hall of Famer. The stories from his childhood are still being told. They remain vivid more than five decades after he left.
“Bruce was certainly a man among boys in those days,” Hoffman said. “It made playing the game delightful for all of us. We basically won championships every year because of his pitching.”
Four boys grew up in the same Mount Joy neighborhood: Sutter and John Shrum on Wood Street, Hoffman and Donald Musser on adjacent South Market Avenue. They lived in those houses, maybe 200 yards apart, from birth through high school.
The summer brought pickup games, the kinds kids used to play. They scraped together whomever they could find and made rules as they went. Hit it this far and it was a double. This far was a triple. Over the roof was a home run.
Sutter was the youngest of the group. He was also the best. Whether it was basketball or football, pool or throwing darts, he excelled.
“Bruce was a gifted athlete,” said Shrum, a center fielder at Donegal. “He definitely stood out. He just made it seem easy. You wanted him on your team. He’d definitely get picked first.”
Once they reached high school, Sutter emerged as a prospect. There were no radar guns back then. Hoffman guessed the team’s ace was armed with a fastball in the high 80s to pair with two types of curves.
Scouts came to see Sutter, who seemed destined to flourish beyond those neighborhood streets. Putting the tall, lanky right-hander on the mound felt like a sure thing.
“In regular day life, he was just one of the guys,” Hoffman said. “He wasn’t out to embarrass anybody or lord it over us as peers. He was out to have fun and wasn’t going to show anybody up when doing it.”
Sutter and Tom Houseal were Donegal’s 1-2 punch. Houseal, an ace in his own right, also piqued the interest of scouts. The Washington Senators, who later drafted Sutter, actually came to watch Houseal one day. The pitchers’ turns were swapped because of rain and the scout found Sutter instead.
The weekend before Donegal won the county championship in 1970, Sutter and Houseal were supposed to travel to Pittsburgh for a tryout with the Pirates. They declined at the last minute because bad weather gave them four games the following week. They chose to save their arms for their high school team rather than take a shot at their big league dream.
“We both were the same way,” said Houseal, who went to York College and became a member of the school’s Hall of Fame. “He was a competitor. I was a competitor. I think we fed off of each other. It was a lot of fun. The team was always first.”
Sutter signed with the Chicago Cubs the year after leading Donegal past Garden Spot for the county title. An injury, which required ulnar decompression surgery according to Hoffman, nearly ended Sutter’s career before it began.
One day during the offseason, Hoffman was driving along Wood Street on his way to Market when he saw Sutter leaving his house. Hoffman pulled into the driveway.
“Look at this,” Sutter said, revealing a scar that extended from his forearm to his biceps. It was a stunning sight for Sutter’s former catcher.
“He was really in never-never land in regard to his career,” Hoffman said. “How this would affect his pitching, he didn’t know. It was either find a new pitch or find a new career. He found a new pitch.”
Sutter famously developed a split-finger fastball, and his long fingers made his version better than most. Houseal was among the first to see the new pitch.
The former teammates and co-aces were having a catch when Houseal grew puzzled. The ball Sutter threw moved in a way Houseal had never seen.
“We were just buddies in the backyard,” Houseal said. “He came home and I caught him. I asked, ‘What are you throwing?’ I thought it was a spitball. It would go straight down.”
It took a try or two before Houseal could even catch it. For 12 seasons in the major leagues, hitters never quite caught up to it.
Sutter was a reliever for the Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals before retiring with the Atlanta Braves in 1988. He recorded 300 saves and closed out Game 7 of the 1982 World Series.
The kids from Mount Joy, Marietta and Maytown followed Sutter’s career from a distance with a feeling of pride and admiration. Shrum remembered the first time he saw his long-ago friend as a member of the Cubs.
“When he came into the game, it was surreal,” Shrum said. “One of your buddies you grew up with was on TV playing professional sports.”
Everyone around Sutter recognized that he was special and a lock to receive a pro contract. No one could have predicted such a long career followed by the sport’s greatest honor.
After 13 years on the Hall of Fame ballot, Sutter received the necessary 75% of the writers vote and became part of the 2006 class.
Many of Sutter’s Donegal teammates made the trip to upstate New York to see his enshrinement. They created replica hats from the 1970 team with an inscription sewn in the back: From Wood Street to Cooperstown.
Hoffman was in a restaurant for lunch that scorching July afternoon when a man walked past. He noticed the hat.
“I’ve seen a couple of those today,” the man said. “What’s that all about?”
Hoffman explained he was Sutter’s old teammate and this was the cap they wore in high school.
“That’s very interesting,” the man replied and walked away.
Hoffman recognized the man. It was Bob Feller.
There’s a frame hanging above Hoffman’s desk that captures how his baseball days intersected with Sutter’s. It features a plaque with a black and white Donegal team photo and several photos of Sutter from his time in the majors.
Happenstance brought those four boys from Wood and Market together. They’re thankful it did.
“I guess we’re blessed,” Shrum said. “When you’re growing up, you never would have thought about it. Reaching that pinnacle of success. Bruce was a well-deserving person for it.”
Sutter didn’t make his journey to Cooperstown alone. His childhood friends were with him every step of the way. | 2022-10-18T01:46:24+00:00 | lancasteronline.com | https://lancasteronline.com/sports/mlb/from-wood-street-to-cooperstown-bruce-sutter-remembered-by-his-donegal-friends-and-teammates/article_b0c61a54-4e73-11ed-beea-cf375c57b1ac.html |
ISLAMABAD (AP) — The supreme leader of the Taliban released a message Sunday claiming that his government has taken the necessary steps for the betterment of women’s lives in Afghanistan, where women are banned from public life and work and girls’ education is severely curtailed.
The statement from Hibatullah Akhundzada was made public ahead of the Eid al-Adha holiday, which will be celebrated later this week in Afghanistan and other Islamic countries.
Akhundzada, an Islamic scholar, rarely appears in public or leaves the Taliban heartland in Afghanistan’s southern Kandahar province. He surrounds himself with other religious scholars and allies who oppose education and work for women.
In his Eid message Akhundzada said that under the rule of the Islamic Emirate, concrete measures have been taken to save women from many traditional oppressions, including forced marriages, “and their Shariah rights have been protected,”
Moreover, “necessary steps have been taken for the betterment of women as half of society in order to provide them with a comfortable and prosperous life according to the Islamic Shariah,” the message continued.
Lately, Akhundzada appears to have taken a stronger hand in directing domestic policy, banning girls’ education after the sixth grade and barring Afghan women from public life and work, especially for nongovernmental organizations and the United Nations
The message was distributed in five languages: Arabic, Dari, English, Pashto and Urdu. Akhundzada said the negative aspects of the previous 20-year occupation related to women’s wearing of the hijab and “misguidance” will end soon.
“The status of women as a free and dignified human being has been restored and all institutions have been obliged to help women in securing marriage, inheritance and other rights,” he added.
Despite initial promises of a more moderate rule than during their previous stint in power in the 1990s, the Taliban have imposed harsh measures since seizing Afghanistan in August 2021 as U.S. and NATO forces were pulling out.
They have barred women from public spaces, like parks and gyms, and cracked down on media freedoms. The measures have triggered a fierce international uproar, increasing the country’s isolation at a time when its economy has collapsed — and worsening a humanitarian crisis.
Akhundzada reiterated his call for other countries to stop interfering in Afghanistan’s internal affairs. He said the Taliban government wants good political and economic relations with the world, especially with Islamic countries, and has fulfilled its responsibility in this regard.
Akhundzada’s message also condemned Israel’s behavior toward the Palestinians and called on the people and government of Sudan to set aside their differences and work together for unity and brotherhood. | 2023-06-25T14:45:34+00:00 | pix11.com | https://pix11.com/ap-international/taliban-leader-claims-women-are-provided-with-a-comfortable-and-prosperous-life-in-afghanistan/ |
PLEASANT PRAIRIE – A residential development that would bring over 700 housing units to the village spurred lengthy Village Board debate Monday night.
The Highland Estates subdivision, proposed to sit on 275 acres between 93rd and 104th Streets just west of the existing Devonshire and Village Green Heights subdivisions, is planned to include 489 single-family lots, 85 two-family lots and 38 two-unit condominiums, for a total of 735 units.
The single-family lots will range in size from 6,900 to 31,053 square feet, with the homes ranging from 1,300 to 2,800 square feet. The cost of a home is estimated to be about $400,000 to over $625,000.
The two-family lots will be 8,625 to 10,350 square feet, with about 3,000-square-foot buildings. Prices are estimated to range between $450,000 to $579,000. The two-unit condominiums will have units of about 1,400 square feet each, and range from $450,000 to $579,000.

The proposed plan is to build the subdivision in seven phases over several years.
Both a comprehensive plan amendment and a master conceptual plan related to the development went before the Village Board Monday night.
Village President John Steinbrink recused himself during discussion and voting related to the Highland Estates project, as the land of the proposed project is owned by his family. Trustee Michael Pollocoff was elected as president pro temp for the duration.
Developer Sanjay Kuttemperoor of ZL River Development LLC spoke to the board about the project, emphasizing affordability and quality.
Most of the lots proposed are smaller than in previous village developments, something Kuttemperoor attributed to changing market forces. Young, first-time home buyers that the village was looking to attract, Kuttemperoor said, have been priced-out of larger lots and are looking for affordability.
The larger lots seen in former village developments were simply not financially feasible, Kuttemperoor stated.
During last week’s Pleasant Prairie Plan Commission meeting, numerous residents spoke both in favor and against the proposed development.
Linda Wohlgemuth, senior vice president and chief operating officer at Froedtert South in Pleasant Prairie, praised the developers, whom she’d worked with previously.
“They’re people you can rely on, they will listen, If something isn’t working they’ll do something different,” Wohlgemuth said.
Others expressed concerns with the development however, citing increased traffic, crowding, dropping property values, increased emergency calls and more.
Recently elected Village Trustee James Kremer, who ran in part because of concerns over the density of upcoming village projects, questioned how current residents would benefit from the development.
“The existing residents are not for this,” Kremer said. “Who I’ve heard that are for this are developers, real estate agents and large corporations. That is a very clear line right now.”
Pollocoff had a different stance.
“My fundamental understanding is, we should be willing to accept any kind of quality development,” Pollocoff said. “We’re not a town where we’re going to be agricultural forever, we’re a village.”
Village Administrator Eric Rindfleisch also spoke in favor of the development.
“Growing communities are low-tax communities, and low tax-paying communities are thriving communities,” Rindfleisch said. “In order to maintain the level of services we have, it’s almost incumbent upon us to look for ways of continuing to grow.”
The two development items before the board ultimately passed on 3 to 1 votes, with Kremer opposed.
Other business
In other business, the board approved amendments to rules regarding the feeding of birds and other animals. Feed is not to be placed on the ground intentionally, nor are birds to be fed by hand.
“We’re trying not to feed non-domesticated animals in the area and make them stay,” Rindfleisch said.
Bird feeders hung high enough above the ground and with proper rodent guards are still allowed, he said.
The board approved a resolution designating the week of May 14 through May 20 as National Police Week, honoring the village’s officers. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation designated May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day, with the week it fell into being National Police Week.
The board also approved a resolution designating the week of May 21 through May 27 as National Public Works Week. Steinbrink said it was to honor the “invisible” work that keeps the water running, toilets flushing and roads clear in Pleasant Prairie. | 2023-05-09T21:36:28+00:00 | kenoshanews.com | https://kenoshanews.com/news/local/pleasant-prairie-village-board-debates-proposed-housing-development-plans/article_bdbab9f8-ee9c-11ed-8901-a3eb44af5cd2.html |
MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) — Pope Francis on Sunday expressed sadness and worry at the news that Bishop Rolando Álvarez, an outspoken critic of the Nicaraguan government, had been sentenced to 26 years in prison in the latest move against the Catholic Church and government opponents.
Hours later in Nicaragua’s capital, Cardenal Leopoldo Brenes said someone had asked him what they could do for Álvarez. “Pray, that is our strength,” Brenes told those gathered inside the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. “Pray that the Lord gives him strength, gives him judgment in all of his actions.”
Álvarez was sentenced Friday, after refusing to get on a flight to the United States with 222 other prisoners, all opponents of President Daniel Ortega. In addition to his prison term, Álvarez was stripped of his Nicaraguan citizenship.
“The news that arrived from Nicaragua has saddened me no little,’’ the pontiff told the faithful gathered in St. Peter’s Square for the traditional Sunday blessing, expressing both his love and concern for Álvarez.
He called on the faithful to pray for the politicians responsible “to open their hearts.”
The comments by Pope Francis and Cardinal Brenes Sunday were the first made publicly by the church about the expulsion of the prisoners — several priests did board the flight — and of Álvarez’s sentence.
Ortega ordered the mass release of political leaders, priests, students and activists widely considered political prisoners and had some of them put on a flight to Washington Thursday. Ortega said Álvarez refused to board without being able to consult with other bishops.
Nicaragua’s president called Álvarez’s refusal “an absurd thing.” Álvarez, who had been held under house arrest, was then taken to the nearby Modelo prison.
In the run-up to Ortega’s re-election in November 2021, Nicaraguan authorities arrested seven potential opposition presidential candidates to clear the field. The government closed hundreds of nongovernmental organizations that Ortega has accused of taking foreign funding and using it to destabilize his government.
The former guerrilla fighter has long had a tense relationship with the Catholic Church, but targeted it more directly last year in his campaign to extinguish voices of dissent.
Ortega kicked out the papal nuncio, the Vatican’s top diplomat in March. Later, the government shut down several radio stations in Álvarez’s Matagalpa diocese ahead of municipal elections and Álvarez was arrested in August along with several other priests and lay people, accused with undermining the government and spreading false information.
The church’s response to the government’s increasingly aggressive behavior has been muted, apparently in an attempt to not inflame tensions.
On Saturday, a few thousand Ortega supporters marched in the capital in a show of support for the expulsion of the opposition prisoners. While some seemed genuine in their support, the government has earned a reputation for turning out people by making government employees attend.
Outside Managua’s cathedral Sunday, it was clear that the lengthy sentence for a priest and stripping critics of their citizenship rankled people in the still heavily Roman Catholic country.
Jorge Paladino, a 49-year-old architect, said he felt “disillusioned, upset, dismayed.” He said those who were expelled will always be Nicaraguans, regardless of what they are told.
María Buitrago, a 61-year-old retiree, spoke softly but with indignation.
“They took their nationality in a horrible way as if they are gods and can take from someone where they live, where they were born,” Buitrago said. “They can’t take Nicaraguan blood. They can’t take it, but they do what they please.” | 2023-02-12T22:22:14+00:00 | ourquadcities.com | https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/ap-top-headlines/ap-pope-worried-about-nicaraguan-bishop-sentenced-to-26-years/ |

(NerdWallet) – Would you be able to quickly obtain an emergency contraception pill or abortion pill if the need arose? In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision striking down Roe v. Wade, millions of health care consumers have pivoted to this question.
Much depends upon your access to reproductive care, from your health to your prospects in life. “People need tools to help them achieve reproductive autonomy,” says Ushma Upadhyay, associate professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Science at the University of California San Francisco. “When people have access to abortion, they’re more likely to set and achieve life goals.”
Obtaining and using medication abortion, in particular, can be as complex as the laws of the 50 states. Fortunately for those seeking to avoid or end an unplanned pregnancy, reproductive rights advocates are offering — and frequently updating — valuable services and information sources. Armed with basic knowledge, you’ll feel more confident navigating the process.
Emergency contraception: Avoiding pregnancy after unprotected sex
Emergency contraceptives or morning-after pills work by preventing ovulation. These oral medications prevent pregnancy about 80% to 90% of the time when taken within a few days of unprotected sexual activity.
This oral medication typically costs between $10 and $50, plus the cost of a health care provider visit if you choose a prescription pill. “If you have private insurance or Medicaid, there’s a good chance you can get free or low-cost emergency contraception,” says Megan Freeland, PharmD, director of health communications at Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
Over-the-counter medication
“Anyone of any age or gender can buy emergency contraceptives over the counter without a prescription,” Freeland says. Plan B and other over-the-counter emergency contraceptives that have levonorgestrel as the main ingredient are most effective when taken within 72 hours after unprotected sexual activity.
Prescription medication
Ella, a prescription morning-after pill, may be a better choice for people who don’t take an emergency contraceptive until four or five days after sex or who weigh between 165 and 195 pounds. Ella may be more effective than levonorgestrel-based pills in these cases, and it reduces the chance of becoming pregnant by 85%, according to Planned Parenthood Direct. It’s best to discuss your choice of any contraceptive with your health care provider.
Ensuring timely and safe access
You may rest easier if you keep a morning-after pill in your medicine cabinet, just in case. When you buy in advance of need, you can also shop for the best deal rather than having to pay whatever it costs at the last minute
“It’s so important to use emergency contraceptives as quickly as possible after unprotected sex,” says Freeland. “So get it before you need it. If you need Ella, keep in mind that getting a prescription can take time.”
Although emergency contraception is available nationwide, a handful of states do allow pharmacies or individual pharmacists to refuse to sell these medications. So check local availability now. If you have trouble obtaining the medication, order it from a reputable online source such as Planned Parenthood.
Medication abortion: Ending a pregnancy without surgery
Abortion pills (actually two pills, taken separately) are not the same as emergency contraceptive pills; they are different pharmaceuticals intended for different situations, and they are affected by the recent Supreme Court ruling.
Whereas emergency contraceptive pills work only within three or five days of sexual activity, abortion pills are effective up to approximately 11 weeks into pregnancy. Like surgical abortion, medication abortion is considered low risk and is preferred by some people for practical or personal reasons. Medication abortion is prescription-only and requires an in-person or virtual visit with a health care provider.
There are many state-by-state differences in abortion access, including medication abortion. Some states have outright bans with few or no exceptions. Some states restrict abortion according to how long you’ve been pregnant; some ban public funding or impose waiting periods, which can be especially expensive if you must travel to obtain medication and care.
What medication abortions cost
Medication abortion is typically nearly as costly as a surgical abortion. In 2021, the median cost for U.S. patients who had to pay entirely out of pocket was $568 for medication abortion, $625 for first-trimester surgical abortion, and $775 for second-trimester surgical abortion, according to a study from Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health.
Insurance coverage for abortion pills is uneven
Insurance provided by an employer or obtained through a health insurance exchange may or may not cover abortion services, including medication abortion. Ask your insurer what your policy covers; if you can’t obtain or use abortion medication in your home state, also ask about coverage for the state through which you would receive services.
Medicaid covers all or most “medically necessary abortions” in only about 16 states. Ask your state’s Medicaid office if abortion is covered and if so, what restrictions might apply.
Online guides can help you obtain information and medication
Traveling to another state for an abortion is likely to be complicated, time-consuming and expensive. Be aware that getting an interstate abortion — whether via medication or surgery — may be illegal for residents of your home state.
That said, many services are available to help people navigate the medical, financial, logistical and legal challenges of obtaining and safely using abortion pills. Here are some resources:
- There’s at least one Planned Parenthood Health Center in every state and the District of Columbia. Many clinics that have been barred by their states from providing medication abortions or surgical abortions are still offering valuable information and advice as well as contraception care.
- Abortion Finder and Ineedana can help you find an abortion provider nearest you, though some people may have to travel hundreds of miles.
- National Abortion Federation Hotline Fund provides abortion referrals and financial assistance.
- Some abortion information providers describe strategies that might be illegal in your state. The Repro Legal Helpline offers legal advice on self-managed medication abortions.
- The National Network of Abortion Funds provides information on local and national organizations offering financial and logistical assistance for abortion services, travel and associated costs. | 2022-10-15T16:52:57+00:00 | localsyr.com | https://www.localsyr.com/news/national/how-to-get-the-morning-after-pill-or-abortion-medication/ |
Which bamboo standing desk for home office is best?
If you’re spending all day sitting at a desk, you’re likely to find yourself fatigued and stiff. Sitting for up to 8 hours a day can make you feel more tired and less productive and may even lead to long-term health risks.
Reduce the risks associated with a sedentary lifestyle from your work day by investing in a standing desk. Standing desks come in a variety of styles and materials, but a bamboo standing desk is an especially tasteful and stylish choice for your home office.
Bamboo looks great with other modern and minimalist interior design elements and has a neat appearance to keep you distraction-free and motivated. The Flexispot Electric Adjustable Height Standing Desk is the top choice for a fully electric, ergonomic and attractive bamboo standing desk.
What to know before you buy a bamboo standing desk
Size
Bamboo standing desks are generally either large, freestanding desks or petite risers, which sit atop your existing desk.
A freestanding bamboo standing desk occupies more space than a riser and allows you plenty of surface space for your monitor, keyboard and mouse.
An add-on bamboo standing desk riser is a small platform which sits atop your existing desk. It typically requires manual adjustment. Some models only offer one height.
Material and construction
Many bamboo standing desks have a metal base and a top manufactured from bamboo. Some bamboo standing desks use a wood composite alongside bamboo.
Adjustability
Freestanding bamboo standing desks often adjust electrically with the press of a button. This is an ergonomically good choice, because you can get the height just right for good posture and maximize comfort for your wrists, back and neck.
Some bamboo standing desks feature a crank which allows you to manually adjust the desk. These are fairly simple to operate but may not be a good choice for those with joint pain.
Some bamboo standing desks aren’t adjustable and require the user to stand all the time. These aren’t recommended for someone just starting out with standing desks.
What are the benefits of using a standing desk?
Multiple studies have shown the negative effects of sitting at a desk all day, such as exhaustion and hypertension. Sitting for long periods of time is linked to weight gain and obesity. Standing desks burn more calories than sitting and allow workers to feel more comfortable throughout the day compared to sitting desks.
Standing desks have also been shown to help relieve back pain after only weeks of use.
How much you can expect to spend on a bamboo standing desk
Bamboo standing desks can cost $100-$3,000. At the low end, you’ll find bamboo standing desk risers which sit atop your existing desk to convert it into a standing desk. For up to $400, expect basic adjustable standing desks. Standing desks in the $500-$3,000 range have extra features such as electric adjustment controls and high-quality materials.
Bamboo standing desk FAQ
How do I transition into using a standing desk?
A. The best way to get used to using a standing desk throughout the day is to alternate between sitting and standing in 30- to 60-minute intervals. You can also intuitively alternate by starting the day standing and then sitting when your legs begin to feel tired. When you begin to feel stiff or fatigued, try standing again. Be sure to take walking breaks periodically as well.
What shoes should I wear when using my standing desk?
A. Avoid formal shoes like heels or boots with poor support. Wearing running shoes with good arch support is a good idea when using a standing desk, especially if you work from home or somewhere which allows athletic footwear in the office. If you’re working from home, you might find being barefoot more comfortable.

WILLOWBROOK, Ill. (WGN) – One person is dead and at least 20 were injured in a shooting at an Illinois Juneteenth celebration early Sunday morning, police have confirmed.
Deputies with the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office were in the Willowbrook area, roughly 20 miles west of Chicago, when they reported hearing gunshots ring out shortly before 12:30 a.m.
They responded to a parking lot outside of a strip mall, where they found multiple people had been struck by gunfire.
“Initially, I could see the scene coming down the street, and I knew we were going to have a significant response in the area,” said Battalion Chief Joe Ostrander with the Tri-State Fire Protection District.
The DuPage County Sheriff confirmed that at least 20 people were injured. Injuries ranged from graze wounds to more serious wounds, according to Ostrander.
One person has died from their injuries, authorities said.
At least 10 people were transported to hospitals while many others self-transported. Fire officials said two victims are in critical condition.
Witnesses described the scene as chaotic to Nexstar’s WGN, saying people began running as gunfire erupted.
“It was supposed to be a Juneteenth celebration,” Markeshia Avery, a witness to the shooting, told WGN. She explained they were getting ready to leave when gunshots rang out.
The motive behind the shooting is still unclear, and authorities would not go into detail on the circumstances leading up to the shooting or how many shooters they believe were involved, saying the investigation remains active. | 2023-06-18T14:04:52+00:00 | ktalnews.com | https://www.ktalnews.com/news/u-s-world/1-dead-at-least-20-injured-in-shooting-at-illinois-juneteenth-celebration-police/ |
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are edging higher in early trading on Wall Street Tuesday as traders brace for a big week of news on inflation and company earnings reports. The S&P 500 was up 0.2% in the early going, the Nasdaq was up 0.4% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average of 30 major blue chips was up 0.4%. Big companies are beginning to report their latest quarterly results this week. Soft drink and snack maker PepsiCo rose after releasing a profit report that easily beat analysts’ estimates. Major banks including JP Morgan Chase and Citigroup are on tap later this week.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
U.S. futures and most global benchmarks fell Tuesday with new data dropping this week on inflation, as well as the start of the earnings season.
Futures for the Dow Jones industrial slid 0.7% and futures for the S&P 500 declined 0.5%. Oil prices fell almost 5% and are down about 18% from a month ago.
Shares in Europe declined in midday trading. Benchmarks finished lower in Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong and Shanghai but rose slightly in Sydney.
The euro cost $1.0040, down slightly from $1.0042, having dipped as low as $1.0004. The U.S. dollar inched down to 136.73 Japanese yen from 137.47 yen.
Both currencies have been trading at 20-year lows as the dollar has surged along with U.S. interest rates, which promise higher returns for investors.
The European common currency is close to dropping below parity, or one-to-one with the dollar. The last time the euro was below $1 was on July 15, 2002.
At midday in Europe, 18Germany’s DAX fell 0.8% and Britain’s FTSE 100 edged down 0.5%, while France’s CAC 40 slipped 0.4%.
In Asian trading, Japan’s benchmark Nikkei dropped 1.8% to 26,336.66. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 gained nearly 0.1% to 6,606.30. South Korea’s Kospi slipped 1.0% to 2,317.76. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng sank 1.3% to 20,844.74, while the Shanghai Composite index shed 1% to 3,281.47 on growing concerns over COVID-19.
Adding to the pessimism, Hong Kong authorities announced they are considering implementing an electronic health code system to restrict movements of people infected with COVID-19, as well as overseas arrivals, a system similar to what’s already in place in mainland China.
The highest inflation in four decades is pushing the Federal Reserve and other central banks to hike interest rates, which puts the clamps on the economy and hurts various types of investments.
Companies this week are set to begin reporting how their profits fared during the spring. Big banks and other financial companies dominate the early part of the schedule, with JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley set for Thursday. BlackRock, Citigroup and Wells Fargo are among those reporting on Friday.
Expectations for second-quarter results appear subdued. Analysts are forecasting 4.3% growth for companies across the S&P 500, which would be the weakest since the end of 2020, according to FactSet.
Industry analysts will likely focus on what CEOs say about what they expect going forward, rather than the just-completed quarter.
Beyond earnings updates, reports this week on inflation will likely dominate trading. On Wednesday, economists expect the U.S. to report that inflation at the consumer level accelerated again last month, up to 8.8% from 8.6% in May. Data on prices at the producer level is due Thursday.
The housing sector has not been spared from rising costs, with median home prices up nearly 15% from a year ago. However, mortgage rates have soared, forcing sellers to lower asking prices and increasingly placing the reins back in the hands of buyers.
Redfin says nearly 15% of home purchase agreement — roughly 60,000 — fell through in June. That’s the highest rate on record, excluding March and April of 2020, when the real estate market came to a standstill at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. Sales of existing homes have declined for four months straight.
And on Tuesday, the online mortgage company loanDepot said it was cutting 2,000 jobs.
In energy trading, benchmark U.S. crude fell $4.86 to $99.23 a barrel. It lost 70 cents to $104.09 a barrel on Monday. Brent crude, the international standard for pricing, lost $4.67 to $102.43 a barrel.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) – Face masks are once again required inside all buildings at Great Smoky Mountains National Park with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reporting Tennessee counties within the park are considered high risk for COVID-19.
Visitors to Great Smoky Mountains National Park are required to wear a mask inside all park buildings regardless of vaccination status. Masks are not required outdoors within the park.
The park is comprised of parts of Blount, Sevier and Cocke counties, all of which are rated at high risk of COVID-19 by the CDC as of Aug. 9. The National Park Service began using the CDC’s COVID-19 Community Levels metric in late February to allow individual parks to make decisions on masking based on local conditions.
The CDC divides every county in the U.S. into three categories of COVID-19 risk: high, medium and low. The two North Carolina counties within the park boundaries, Swain and Haywood, are rated at medium risk as of Aug. 9.
Three data sets pertaining to COVID-19 are used by the CDC to determine the levels of community risk: new cases, hospital admissions, and percent of beds occupied by COVID-19 patients. If conditions are “low or medium” then mask wearing is not required for staff, visitors, or others regardless of vaccination status.
The mask requirement within the park was first implemented in January 2021. It was dropped a few months later but returned in August 2021 as cases of the Omicron variant rose. | 2022-08-09T23:36:47+00:00 | wjhl.com | https://www.wjhl.com/news/regional/tennessee/face-masks-now-required-in-great-smoky-mountains-national-park-buildings/ |
SYLVANIA, Ohio (AP) — Chinese rookie Ruoning Yin turned her irritation over a bogey into six birdies over his last 10 holes Thursday for a 6-under 65 and a three-way tie for the lead in the Dana Open.
Hye-Jin Choi, who like Yin earned her LPGA Tour card last year for the first time, and Carlota Ciganda of Spain also had 65 at Highland Meadow.
The large group at 66 included Lexi Thompson, Lydia Ko and Leona Maguire of Ireland.
The 19-year-old Yin has been coping with a wrist injury and missed four straight cuts on the LPGA Tour. Her last appearance was in mid-July, though she played two Epson Tour events.
Her one goal was to play bogey-free, and that ended on the par-3 eighth hole.
“I was so mad after that,” she said. “I just tried to make some birdies.”
Choi did most of her work early in the round and was poised to take the lead until the South Korean had to settle for pars on the back-to-back par 5s at Highland Meadow. Ciganda played in the morning and finished her round with a two-putt birdie on the 18th.
Maguire returned to an area that brought good memories. She played some of her best golf at Inverness last summer in leading Europe to victory in the Solheim. Her return to the Toledo area included a new set of irons.
“It’s not like me to change,” said Maguire, who switched the Ping 230s. “I’ve been home for a couple weeks, did some testing while I was home. … They felt good in practice, so figured it was as good a time as any to give them a test go.”
Ko is a two-time winner who has reason to feel she should have three. She had the tournament won two years ago when she gave away a late lead and then chunked a chip that rolled back into the bunker on the 18th, leading to bogey and a runner-up finish.
Still, the Kiwi star has nothing but positive vibes at Highland Meadows.
“It’s always nice to come back to a place that you’ve played well at. I’ve had good finishes outside of winning, so it’s nice to kind of draw back on those memories,” she said.
Her two wins were in 2014 and 2016.
“But at the same time, my game has changed a lot I think over the last few years, so I feel like I’m playing some holes a lot differently,” Ko said. “So just trying to play the best golf I can with how I’m playing right now. ”
U.S. Women’s Open champion Minjee Lee, who leads the Race to the CME Globe, was in the group at 67. Defending champion Nasa Hataoka opened with a 69.
Paula Creamer played her first LPGA Tour event as a mom. In her first competition in more than a year, Creamer opened with a birdie. That was the lone highlight as she posted a 40 on the back nine on her way to a 77.
Another new mom, Azahara Munoz of Spain, opened with a 72. Munoz also has been coping with an autoimmune thyroid issue that she believes is now under control.
Among the three dozen players who shot in the 60s was Lucy Li, who opened with a 68. Li, best known for playing the U.S. Women’s Open when she was 11, already has an LPGA card locked up for next year through the Epson Tour.
Gianna Clemente had a 73. The 14-year-old Ohio native was a Monday qualifier in Canada last week, and she made it through Monday qualifying against for the Dana Open.

If you have a new puppy or kitten at home and could use some extra cash to help take care of them, there’s a new job opportunity for your four-legged friend that pays in cash, food and toys.
Hill’s Pet Nutrition is looking for one puppy and one kitten to serve as interns from the brand’s first-ever class of Pup-terns and Kit-terns. In return, your furry friend will receive $2,500 cash, supplies from toy brand Kong and a supply of Hill’s Science Diet Puppy or Science Diet Kitten.
Job responsibilities (along with being adorable, of course) include representing Hills with “enthusiasm and curiosity” on social media, being willing to learn new skills on the job (i.e., playing with toys) and either continuing or transitioning your pet’s diet to Hill’s Science Diet Puppy or Science Diet Kitten food.
MORE: Are dogs and cats really colorblind? Here’s what we know
If you think your puppy or kitten has what it takes, you can submit their resume on Hill’s website now until July 20. You will need to share your full name, a valid email address and you or your pet’s Instagram handle. You’ll also need to upload a photo of your pet and a “cover letter” that explains their talents, career aspirations and why they should be chosen for the job.
You must be at least 18 years old to submit you pet’s resume, and puppies and kittens must be 9 months or younger to qualify. Fur-parents must also have an Instagram account, as part of the job responsibilities includes posting to social media.
There is a limit of two submissions per person or email address — one for a puppy and one for a kitten — so if you happen to have two new furry friends, they can both apply.
According to the official rules, entries will be judged based on “consistency with Hill’s Pet Nutrition’s mission of enriching and lengthening the special relationships between people and their pets,” the social media appeal of the pet that’s applying and mostly on the “eagerness” of the pet to “highlight benefits of Hill’s Pet Nutrition Science Diet.”
Does your puppy or kitten have what it takes to be Hill’s Pup-tern or Kit-tern?

New ACE hubs to help revitalize American manufacturing
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., July 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Institute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing InnovationÒ (IACMI) announced today two new partnerships with the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) in College Station, Texas and Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia. These partnerships aim to revitalize U.S. manufacturing with a focus on the machine tool industry. Machine tools are a foundational element of America's advanced manufacturing capabilities, which are essential to the country's national security and continued economic vitality.
The new partnerships will advance America's Cutting Edge (ACE), a joint Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Energy (DOE) initiative launched in 2020 to reestablish American leadership in the machine tool industry through transformative thinking, technology innovation, and workforce development. Expanding the number of training centers is a key part of ACENet, an emerging national network of regional machine tools innovation and workforce development hubs. Adding ACE hubs in these two areas will benefit the residents and manufacturing ecosystem of Texas, West Virginia, Ohio, and Kentucky.
"TEES is proud to collaborate with the DoD and IACMI to bring this program to Texas," said Scott Terry, Director of Community and Small Business Initiatives for the SecureAmerica Institute, powered by TEES. "ACE provides a unique workforce opportunity that can truly make a valuable impact for people and industry. We have already had a great deal of interest from high schools, secondary education institutions, trade schools and manufacturers, and we look forward to working with many more partners throughout the state."
"Marshall University is excited to partner in this national initiative to revitalize American manufacturing," said President Brad D. Smith. "Marshall's Robert C. Byrd Institute (RCBI) – West Virginia's Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center – has assisted manufacturers across our state and region for more than 30 years and delivered machinist training to thousands of individuals. We engage manufacturers daily, so we're keenly aware of their workforce needs and have a history of developing innovative solutions to meet those needs. This partnership with IACMI will greatly expand our efforts to prepare individuals in West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky for in-demand manufacturing jobs right here at home."
IACMI, through an agreement with DoD's Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) program, is leading an ACE industrial skills training program to scale workforce pipelines with a focus on machine tooling and advanced machining. "We have a critical workforce skills gap in this country when it comes to machine tool resources," IACMI Workforce Director Ms. Joannie Harmon said. "The training component of ACE is intended to help our nation recover, advance, and sustain technical and manufacturing positions – all to enable a strong, resilient and responsive U.S. industrial base."
Ms. Adele Ratcliff, IBAS Program Director, said, "Many people like to talk about innovators and entrepreneurship, but the real knowhow of something is embedded in the making process. Most everything that's made at scale uses a machine tool. If you know how to make it, then you know how to innovate on it faster. We want to restore the innovation within the U.S. machine tool sector."
With that goal, DoD and DOE's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), along with IACMI, created ACE, a public-private partnership designed to help close the skills gap and restore American dominance in machine tool technology and innovation. Through ACE, DoD established a national CNC machining training program developed by University of Tennessee, Knoxville, professor Tony Schmitz. The program brings together the scientific expertise of ORNL's Manufacturing Demonstration Facility and the proven workforce development capabilities of IACMI. The first hub beyond Knoxville was announced in April 2022 in Greensboro, NC at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (N.C. A&T).
Using advanced computing, robotics, and material design capabilities, ACE is rapidly developing innovative machine tool technologies that dramatically improve precision, efficiency and productivity, all key to restoring America's global competitiveness in the machine tool sector and, by extension, in advanced manufacturing. The ACE approach puts manufacturers at the center of its strategy. ACE focuses on training new experts, improving cost effectiveness especially for small and medium manufacturers and machine shops, researching and developing productivity innovations, and developing partnerships to commercialize advancements.
ACE is already transferring resulting technologies to U.S. machine tool manufacturers. One ACE-developed tool has saved small and medium U.S. machine tool shops more than 55,000 machine hours and $5 million in costs—with potential savings for the broader U.S. industry reaching into the billions across the roughly 30,000 machine shops in the U.S.
ACE uses free online and in-person, hands-on training to connect top national experts with students and incumbent industrial workers from all backgrounds, levels of education, and work experience to catalyze awareness and interest in all facets of machining, including software development, metrology, design, operation, and entrepreneurship. To date, ACE has delivered online courses in Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining to more than 2,500 students from all 50 states and in-person bootcamp style training to more than 100 students, all at no cost to participants.
"People love to make things, and when they do, they feel good about themselves," added Ms. Ratcliff. "The ACE curriculum allows people to experience machining often for the first time. By expanding those opportunities for more people to go through hands-on training, we're hoping to inspire the next generation of manufacturers in this country."
As an engineering research agency of Texas, the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) performs quality research driven by world problems; strengthens and expands the state's workforce through educational partnerships and training; and develops and transfers technology to industry. TEES partners with academic institutions, governmental agencies, industries and communities to solve problems to help improve the quality of life, promote economic development and enhance educational systems.
For more than 30 years, the Robert C. Byrd Institute (RCBI) at Marshall University has served as a one-stop resource for manufacturers, entrepreneurs and makers of all sizes and ages. RCBI's Advanced Manufacturing Technology Centers provide leading-edge equipment, innovative skills training and comprehensive industrial expertise so entrepreneurs and existing businesses can innovate, create jobs and thrive. Encouraging the future industrial workforce is a key element of RCBI's outreach through its hands-on STEM camps that introduce students to engineering, 3D printing, computer-aided design, robotics as they explore all facets of manufacturing.
IACMI – The Composites Institute is a 130-plus member community of industry, universities, national laboratories, and federal, state, and local government agencies working together to accelerate advanced composites design, manufacturing, technical innovation, and workforce solutions to enable a cleaner and more sustainable, more secure, and more competitive U.S. economy. IACMI is managed by the Collaborative Composite Solutions Corporation (CCS), a not-for-profit organization established by The University of Tennessee Research Foundation. A Manufacturing USA institute, IACMI is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Manufacturing Office, as well as key state and industry partners.

UMPI Men’s Basketball Returns Starting Five
PRESQUE ISLE, Maine (WAGM) - The University of Maine at Presque Isle Mens Basketball Team Started off the 2022 campaign Slowly and will look to recreate the success they had going for them at the end of last season. Newssource 8s Jonathon Eigenmann has the story.
Mark Knight: " Feeling really good, we definitely wish we would of came away with some wins this weekend but, we have a lot of returners coming back. Our starting five is all returning, including our four seniors are reigning rookie of the year for the NAC. So were very excited about the season and once we get things going, I think we’ll have a good year”.
The UMPI Owls will go through the first 9 games of their season without a home game as they await renovations done to their gym. Currently the team is practicing at the Presque Isle high school and NMCC gymnasiums. The Owls are grateful for being able to practice but know this first stretch of the season won’t be easy.
KJ Minter: " It’s just the fact were on the road a lot, its kind a wears down on you just, being on the road like three, four times a week and you know we got to wait to play in front of our home crowd but were built for it”.
Griffin Guerrette: " you know with traveling and school work and all that stuff, I think that gives us a disadvantage you know were spending a lot more time on the road, not doing you know being at school and stuff so I say that’s our biggest disadvantage but were working hard through it and second semester when we have a stretch of home games it will work out”.
And as they look to jumpstart their team toward a great season, the players know they must utilize what they do best
KJ Minter: " I’m a big energy guy and you know I think the guys look for me for to bring that energy boost, that loud hype man and that’s what I bring. And I’m actually glad that I’m the energy cause i like being the life of the party”.
Parker Onorato:” I’m definitely the hustle player, I’ll get on the board, I’ll get the rebounds, I’ll dive on the floor, hit my shots when I can, and definitely facilitating the ball.
During the games, this team knows they need to stay true to their style of play, as well as getting back to the form last year that contributed to them winning 7 straight games.
Griffin Guerrette:” We don’t care who’s scoring each time down the court, we don’t care who’s doing this or who’s rebounding or who’s scoring the points, were just trying to get it done the easiest way that we can, I think that’s our biggest piece of identity”.
Mark Knight:” Towards the end of the year last year we really made some noise with our defense, so were looking to get back to that. You know it takes a little while to get back to that from the beginning of the season. But we got some tough guys, so we look to get better defensively everyday”.
UMPI Fans first chance to see the renovated gyms and their owls in action will be on Friday January 6th in a NAC Showdown with SUNY Cobleskill.

Both the Minnesota Wild and Winnipeg Jets appear to be on their way to the postseason. FiveThirtyEight projects the Wild's playoff chances at 93%, with the Jets' at 65%.
Amid quite a bit of chaos in the Western Conference playoff race, these two clubs from the prairie could well be the ones facing off as the Nos. 2 and 3 seeds representing the Central Division in the first round.
Tonight's matchup (7:30 p.m. ET, available via NHL Power Play on ESPN+) is the third of four games in the season series between the two teams. Minnesota has won both prior matchups handily -- 6-1 on Nov. 23 and 4-1 on Dec. 27.
Will the Jets' deadline additions make any difference? Or will the Wild continue to own their Northern neighbors? Tonight will be another clue in the slowly unraveling mystery of the Central seeding race.
As we enter the final stretch of the regular season, it's time to check in on all the playoff races -- along with the teams jockeying for position in the 2023 NHL draft lottery.

Race for the No. 1 pick
The NHL uses a draft lottery to determine the order at the top of the first round, so the team that finishes in last place is not guaranteed the No. 1 selection. As of 2021, a team may move up a maximum of 10 spots if it wins the lottery, so only 11 teams are eligible for the draw for the No. 1 pick. Full details on the process can be found here. Sitting No. 1 on the draft board for this summer is Connor Bedard, who has been lauded as a generational talent.

How to choose the best table runner
Whether you’re entertaining guests or eating breakfast with your household, a table runner adds a warm, decorative element to your table. It’s less formal than the full coverage of a tablecloth, but elevates a space nonetheless.
The trickiest part of buying a table runner is finding the right size for your table. It should measure roughly a third of the width of your table and hang down at least 6 inches over its edges. There are also stylistic considerations, such as the material, color and texture of the runner.
What is a table runner?
A table runner is a decorative strip of fabric that runs down the center of your table lengthwise. It draws attention to the center of a table and showcases centerpieces, candles or serving platters. Like a tablecloth, it adds formality and softness to your table while also being versatile enough to leave out every day for casual dining.
Table runner sizes
The standard width for a table runner is 13 to 16 inches. Table runners come in different length options from 60 to 120 inches. For square and rectangular tables, measure the width of your table and divide it by three. That should be the width of your runner. For length, look for a table runner that’s around 12 inches longer than your table. For example, for a 50- to 60-inch long table, buy a 72-inch long table runner.
Sizing a runner for a round table
If you have a round table, you can use a runner in a couple of different ways. You can crisscross two runners to form an X in the center of your table. You can also lay a single runner along the diameter of the table.
Table runner materials
Spills happen in the dining room and kitchen table, so look for a runner that’s easy to clean.
There are four fabrics commonly used in table runners.
- Cotton: Cotton is a smooth natural textile that is easy to wash, though it can shrink. Cotton table runners offer a soft, casual look. The material has a timeless appeal and can be dressed up.
- Linen: Linen is a rougher natural textile that offers more texture and a rustic charm. The material layers well with other table linens and looks good over wood. Linen washes well but needs to be ironed.
- Polyester: Polyester is a wrinkle- and stain-resistant fabric. Polyester runners are machine-washable and last longer than natural fabrics. While the material is inexpensive, low-quality polyester can look cheap and shiny.
- Cotton blends: Cotton blends combine linen and cotton or polyester and cotton. Polyester-cotton blends are less prone to shrinking or fading than cotton or cotton-linen blends.
Colors, patterns and textures
You can dress up your table for the season by swapping out the color or pattern of your runner. For example, a red buffalo plaid runner is great for the winter holidays. If you’re layering a table runner over a neutral-colored tablecloth, pick a colorful runner to add an accent and dimension. A textured linen runner adds rustic charm to your table and also complements smoother table linens.
Table runner prices
Table runners cost between $8-$80, depending on the size and material.

Big Money Floods into Texas Governor’s Race
In total, Beto O’Rourke and Greg Abbott have raised $200 million.
The latest Texas campaign finance reports are in and they confirm that the governor’s race is now the most evenly matched of the century—at least when it comes to funding.
For the second-straight filing period, Democratic challenger Beto O’Rourke has outraised the incumbent Governor Greg Abbott—only this time, barely. The Democrat reported raising just over $25 million since July 1, while Abbott has raised just under $25 million. Combined, the two candidates have raised over $200 million so far, much of which has been used to fuel a statewide ad war.
Abbott has dug deep into his campaign war chest, spending $55 million since July. That money has financed a massive ad campaign, directed by his longtime campaign consultant Dave Carney, aiming to cast O’Rourke as a radical and shill for President Joe Biden and stir up fears of open borders and deadly fentanyl and attacks on the Texas oil and gas industry.
O’Rourke has countered by spending about $30 million, including ads condemning Abbott for signing the state’s radical abortion ban and his refusal to act in response to the Uvalde school massacre.
Polling shows that Abbott has maintained a healthy lead—between 7 and 10 points. But as we enter the final stretch of the campaign, Abbott’s once-dominant cash advantage has now completely eroded. As the Texas Tribune noted, in June, the governor had twice as much campaign money ($45 million) in the bank as O’Rourke. Now, both campaigns report having about $16 million to spend in the final month of the race.
That’s a fairly astounding evening of the scales given that Abbott has one of the biggest and wealthiest donor networks in the country that gave him a significant head start—he’s raised over $130 million since his last reelection in 2018.
To keep pace with O’Rourke’s prodigious fundraising hauls, Abbott has had to lean heavily on his biggest donors. As of June, Abbott had several donors who’d already given $1 million or more to his campaign this cycle. These include some of the biggest moguls in Texas oil and gas, real estate, finance, and construction. Almost all of Abbott’s seven-figure scions coughed up even more money to his campaign since the last period.
That includes pipeline titan Kelcy Warren, who wrote a million-dollar check to Abbott last summer just months after his company Energy Transfer raked in billions during the state’s winter grid collapse. O’Rourke has frequently pointed to that transaction as proof that Abbott prioritized energy donor interests over fixing the grid, which prompted Warren to sue him for defamation. In September, Warren kicked in another $250,000 to Abbott’s coffers. The governor’s biggest donor, Midland oil executive Javaid Anwar, gave another $750,000, bringing his total this campaign to $2.5 million.
Abbott also hauled in a couple more million-dollar checks. Miriam Adelson, wife of the late Las Vegas casino mogul/mega-donor Sheldon Adelson, gave $1 million. The Adelsons’ casino empire Las Vegas Sands has been pushing hard to legalize casinos in Texas, greasing the skids with big campaign checks and an army of well-heeled lobbyists.
California real estate magnate Ed Roski also gave $1 million, bringing his total to $1.85 million this cycle. The Fort Worth Stockyards Hotel—which was recently acquired by Roski’s company Majestic Realty—also hosted an event for Abbott, an in-kind contribution worth $380,000, according to his campaign finance report.
A new donor name also made a big entrance. Matt Andresen, founder of a Chicago-based hedge fund, and his wife Teri gave Abbott $975,000. The couple also reportedly made a founding donation of $10 million to the University of Austin, which intends to be an educational haven for politically incorrect, anti-woke intellectuals.
The Abbott campaign said that his latest haul came from “nearly 45,000 contributors.” O’Rourke’s campaign, meanwhile, said its funds came from about 475,000 contributions.
While O’Rourke has relied far more on small and medium-sized donors to finance his campaign, he’s also wrangled his own massive donations. Last period, he pulled in a couple of million-dollar checks, including one from liberal mega-donor George Soros, who’s taken an interest in Texas in recent years as he’s helped elect a number of reformist district attorneys in major cities. He came to O’Rourke’s aid again with $500,000 more in late September. But the biggest contribution came from Sam Bankman-Fried, a cryptocurrency billionaire who gave O’Rourke $1 million. This year, he launched a super PAC that played heavily in Democratic primaries across the country, including $1 million to support state Representative Jasmine Crockett in her bid to succeed Dallas Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson.
Bankman-Fried has said that his super PAC, Protect Our Future, is about elected politicians dedicated to preventing future public health disasters and pandemics. Though his entrance as a major Democratic donor also comes as Congress and state governments consider how and whether to regulate cryptocurrency, and his crypto exchange firm FTX has been a big player in the industry’s push to shape those regulations.
While O’Rourke and Abbott are now fighting on evenly financed ground, the other statewide Democrats running against potentially vulnerable Republican incumbents are on uneven terrain. Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick spent about $12 million in the latest period and still has about $17 million left in the bank. His Democratic opponent Mike Collier has gained momentum in recent months, gathering endorsements from some prominent Republican officials and irking Patrick along the way, but he still raised only $1.4 million and has less than a million to burn.
Democrat Rochelle Garza was outraised and outspent by the Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton. Despite running against the most vulnerable and comically corrupt incumbent on the ballot, Garza has struggled to raise the sort of money that could foment an upset. In fact, Texans have donated more to a couple of U.S. Senate campaigns in other states than to their home state AG hopeful. | 2022-10-13T12:53:00+00:00 | texasobserver.org | https://www.texasobserver.org/big-money-floods-into-texas-governors-race/ |
Rivian has added locations of compatible Tesla Superchargers to its navigation app, allowing R1S and R1T drivers to more easily find the Superchargers Tesla is opening up to EVs from other manufacturers.
The interface adds Tesla Supercharger locations both to the in-vehicle navigation and the mobile app. Rivian provided this excerpt (below) from the official update notes to Green Car Reports, clarifying that you also must download the Tesla app.
This addition is part of Rivian software release 2023.10.00, although that release is still listed as an “internal beta” by an unofficial Rivian software tracker that aggregates over-the-air updates for the automaker’s vehicles.
Among other features, this update shows Tesla Supercharger sites with the Combined Charging Standard (CCS) connectors that allow Rivians and many other EVs to charge at them in the navigation app’s charger filters, and this filtering option will appear in Rivian’s mobile app.
Tesla last month began opening the Supercharger network to other EVs. It’s by no means the full Supercharger network, but “select” Superchargers open to CCS. It goes both ways—Tesla is also offering a CCS retrofit and an adapter for its vehicles.
To some degree, Tesla’s opening of its network to other EVs is necessary to claim some of the infrastructure funds funneled for a $7.5-billion federal EV charging network.
Rivian, meanwhile, has conceived its own charging network as a backcountry counterpart to Tesla Supercharging. The remote locations where Rivian expects its customers to take their vehicles for outdoor adventures haven’t been a priority for Tesla or the major charging networks, giving the company a niche to fill that also reinforces its branding as a more rugged class of EV. But given the size of the Supercharger network, it would make sense for Rivian owners to want to utilize it.

(NewsNation) — All across the country, the once-widely-criminalized drug is becoming more and more a mainstream part of American life. Twenty states, plus the District of Columbia, have legalized the use of recreational marijuana and more than three dozen states, territories, and D.C. allow for the use of medical marijuana.
One of the reasons why an increasing number of state governments are legalizing marijuana is to tax its sales, opening up an additional stream of revenue.
“One of the big talking points, one of the big focal points was, ‘Hey, we’ll shift the market from illegal to legal and that will create jobs, create tax revenues.’ And in fact, many of the early campaigns… really tried to sell the tax revenue towards what might be viewed as the swing voter,” Douglas Berman, a researcher at Ohio State University who has spent years studying marijuana legalization.
But getting that taxation right can be tricky.
“There’s kind of a Goldilocks challenge here, how do you set the taxes at the right level to maximize state revenue but not push people back into the illicit market or give them no reason to go into the legal marketplace?” he said.
Here is how a few states that have legalized marijuana are spending the revenue.
Colorado
Colorado voters legalized marijuana through a ballot amendment they passed in 2012, joining Washington as the first states to legalize the recreational use of marijuana.
The state levies a 15% sales tax and a 15% excise tax on marijuana. These help the state bring in hundreds of millions every year to fund government operations.
Melissa Dworkin, a spokesperson for the governor’s office, said the state expects about $365 million in revenue. Of that, $38 million will be put into the state’s general fund, where it can be used for any number of state services.
The rest is allocated for specific programs, and the largest portion set aside for a grant fund for schools called BEST. The funds are intended to help construct additional schools and provide infrastructure improvements to existing ones.
Alaska
Alaska’s voters legalized recreational marijuana in a 2014 ballot measure. A few years later in in fiscal year 2021, the state brought in around $30 million in tax revenue from marijuana.
One thing that makes the state’s marijuana laws unique is how it spends the revenue it raises from the $50-per-ounce tax — the state has the highest marijuana taxes in the nation.
Half of the revenues generated from marijuana sales go to programs designed to reduce recidivism, while the other half go to the general fund and drug education programs.
Education programs at places like the local Boys & Girls Clubs receive funding to keep kids away from drugs, including marijuana, according to local media.
In fiscal year 2020, the state Department of Corrections received $11.5 million to fund things like substance abuse programs and a community residential center.
Montana
Montana voters approved a ballot referendum to legalize marijuana in 2020. Fourteen months after legalizing, the state brought in almost $54 million in revenue — drawn from a 20% sales tax on recreational marijuana and a 4% tax on medical marijuana.
The state, which is known for its public parks and land, spends a significant portion of its marijuana tax revenue on nature.
Twenty percent is allocated to improve wildlife conservation efforts through the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks. Additional funds go towards other conservation efforts, law enforcement, veterans, drug treatment and the general fund.
State lawmakers are currently debating whether to allocate more towards wildlife conservation efforts or to distribute more funds toward substance abuse programming. | 2023-04-23T14:42:50+00:00 | wnct.com | https://www.wnct.com/news/national/marijuana-tax-dollars-and-how-theyre-spent-in-different-states/ |
Full Brain Solution Sets New Industry Standard in Stroke Care
NEW YORK, July 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Aidoc, a pioneering force in clinical AI, announced today the launch of its revolutionary Full Brain Solution. This new solution will significantly expand the anatomy analyzed by AI to identify suspected strokes, allowing for identification and care coordination of patients with medium vessel occlusions (MeVOs) as well as posterior and anterior large vessel occlusions (LVOs).
The Full Brain Solution represents a significant advancement in medical technology aiding patient care, being the first and only AI technology to identify suspected posterior and anterior LVOs and MeVOs. The prevalence of the newly covered conditions, posterior LVO and MeVO, is significant. 795,000 strokes take place each year in the United States, of which, 87% are ischemic strokes. Approximately 25-40% of ischemic strokes are MeVOs and 24-46% of all ischemic strokes are LVOs. 20-25% of LVOs are posterior.1,2,3,4
The addition of posterior LVO and MeVO enables approximately twice as many patients to receive faster access to life-saving therapy with AI-powered care coordination.1,2,3,4
"AI has shown remarkable success in enhancing workflow for patients with anterior LVOs, nearly halving the time to treatment. However, this is just the beginning. With Aidoc's Full Brain Solution, we can now broaden these advancements to benefit a significantly larger patient population, leading to improved care and ultimately better patient outcomes," shared Dr. Brian Mason, Associate Professor NeuroEndovascular Surgery at University of Illinois Champaign, one of the leading AI-healthcare experts in the country.
Extending beyond acute ischemic stroke, the Full Brain Solution employs diverse artificial intelligence technologies such as image-based identification and natural language processing to identify and orchestrate care for patients suffering from intracerebral hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage, and brain aneurysms, making it the most complete neurovascular AI solution.
Aidoc's Full Brain Solution is delivered through the company's proprietary operating system (aiOS™) that enables organizations to reliably deploy AI solutions in high volumes and overcome the challenges associated with legacy IT systems and separate physician workflows. The aiOS™ seamlessly integrates with existing IT infrastructure, enabling the scale needed to realize the full potential of AI in healthcare. Aidoc's aiOS™ is also the only platform integrated into electronic health records (EHR).
"AI continues to drive significant gains and contributions in addressing the challenges health systems are facing," stated Elad Walach, CEO, Aidoc. "Our groundbreaking Full Brain Solution is propelling AI into new and needed territories and proving impact to facilities by cutting the time to treatment nearly in half for twice as many patients. Our vision is to continue pushing boundaries, transforming the lives of a significantly larger patient population, elevating the standard of care, and driving remarkable improvements in patient outcomes."
Aidoc's Full Brain Solution will be showcased during the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS) Annual Meeting in San Diego, California from July 31 to August 4. If interested in seeing a demonstration register here.

How to choose a Razor electric scooter
The word “scooter” conjures images of different things. The earliest scooters were vehicles with a narrow rectangular platform with two small wheels in tandem and handlebars on a post. Today, there are powered scooters that you can simply stand on and ride – some even have a small seat.
Razor has been manufacturing quality electric scooters in the United States for kids, teens and adults since 2003 and have a wide range of affordable and durable models to choose from. They are small, lightweight vehicles for personal fun, commuting and running errands. But which one is best for you?
What to know before you buy a Razor electric scooter
Anatomy of a Razor electric scooter
- Frame: This is where it all starts because everything attaches to it. Frames should be sturdy and made of strong, durable metals or alloys.
- Deck: This is the flat platform between the front and rear wheels where you stand when riding your scooter.
- Stem: Also called a fork, this is the vertical tube that connects to the handlebars at the top and the steerable front wheel at the bottom.
- Handlebars: Here is where you control your steering, acceleration and braking. Your handlebars should have comfortable grips.
- Batteries: This is where the power comes from to drive the motor that powers the rear wheel.
- Drive system: Most electric scooters have a chain and sprocket drive mechanism but some have small motors that fit entirely inside the hub of the rear wheel.
- Wheels and tires: Most rear wheels are solid rubber, plastics or composites. The larger the wheels, the smoother the ride. Air-filled rubber tires take more of the harshness out of the ride.
- Suspension: Few electric scooters have a suspension. The ones that do are usually larger and more expensive.
Safety
Lights are necessary for riding at night and are also helpful in low-light conditions. Look for a headlight that shows the way ahead and a brake light that illuminates when the brakes are applied.
Power
The more watts your motor has, the faster you can go. For young riders, 100 watts is plenty.

Idaho may soon use firing squads to execute death-row inmates if no lethal injection drugs are available, under a new law signed last week.
On Friday, Republican Gov. Brad Little signed House Bill 186, which permits state prison officials to carry out executions using a method that hasn't been employed in the U.S. in more than a decade.
"For the people on death row, a jury convicted them of their crimes, and they were lawfully sentenced to death," Little said in a letter after signing the bill.
"It is the responsibility of the State of Idaho to follow the law and ensure that lawful criminal sentences are carried out," he added.
The ACLU of Idaho called Little's signing of the law "extremely disappointing" and said that though it opposed all forms of capital punishment, firing squad are "especially gruesome."
The law takes effect on July 1.
In recent years, more and more states have hit snags obtaining the chemicals necessary for lethal injection executions, particularly because some pharmaceutical companies have stopped selling the drugs for that purpose.
Idaho will become the fifth state to currently allow firing squads for executions, according to the nonprofit Death Penalty Information Center.
Mississippi, Oklahoma, Utah and South Carolina also permit the method as an alternative to lethal injection.
The last person to be executed by a firing squad was convicted killer Ronnie Lee Gardner, according to the group, who was shot to death by a firing squad in a Utah prison in 2010.
South Carolina was preparing to carry out its first-ever execution by firing squad last year when a judge issued a temporary stay blocking the killing.
Little, who has said he supports the death penalty, added that he hadn't given up on Idaho's ability to acquire the drugs necessary to perform lethal injections.
But the Idaho Capital Sun reported that the state hasn't been able to carry out the scheduled execution of inmate Gerald Pizzuto Jr. because it was unable to obtain the drug pentobarbital.
The state currently has eight inmates on death row, according to the Idaho Department of Correction.

Finding the best subwoofer box for your audio system
If you’ve ever felt like the audio coming from your car stereo or home theater doesn’t sound right, or that the bass is lacking, you need a subwoofer box. Whatever style of music you prefer, adding a subwoofer and box to your audio system can get you the clear, rich sound you’ve always wanted.
There are four main types of subwoofer closures to choose from — sealed, ported, bandpass and free-air — each with its pros and cons.
Purpose of a subwoofer
A subwoofer’s main purpose is to deliver lower sound frequencies, around 20 to 200 hertz, to create bass-rich audio. They excel at delivering the raw feeling of the bass and sub-bass you typically hear in movies and music, such as:
- Bass guitars
- Explosions in movies and other sound effects
- Drums
- Deeper voices
- Pipe organs
A standard speaker system can still let you hear the bass, but a subwoofer amplifies the audio so you feel it on a more visceral level. This is what makes them so popular.
Types of subwoofer boxes
A subwoofer box is a closure that houses the subwoofer. Many come with a box, but it might not capture the sound or give you the feeling you’re looking for.
The main box types are:
- Sealed: A sealed box completely encloses the subwoofer in an airtight container. As the audio plays, the bass is tighter and has less boom, giving the listener a more precise sound. These are often small and require additional power.
- Ported: These boxes incorporate a small vent, called a port, which provides a louder or richer bass sound. Ported closures are ideal for anyone who enjoys rock ‘n’ roll since they can deliver a deeper bass sound through the vent.
- Bandpass: This type of closure takes the main features of sealed and ported boxes and combines them. The subwoofer sits inside an airtight box that faces a chamber with a vent in front of it. The soundwaves coming from the ported side are louder than those of other boxes and have a narrower frequency range for maximum slam. Some subwoofers aren’t compatible with this type.
- Free-air: Although not a box, this design uses a vehicle’s trunk as the enclosure. It only works with free-air subwoofers, but it’s good for pumping up the bass without taking up much space.
Box size
Most subwoofers are around 8 to 15 inches, so make sure the box has a cutout or hole that accommodates it well. Besides being able to fit the subwoofer, the size of the closure can affect:
- The quality and loudness of the bass coming through the audio system. A larger closure, for example, has more air space inside. This means it can capture a deeper bass sound better.
- Where you install the subwoofer. If you have ample room in a home theater, you can use a larger box. But if you want to put it in a car with more limited space, a smaller one is better.
A sealed subwoofer is usually better for those with limited room or who only want one device. Ported subwoofers, meanwhile, are ideal for home theaters or larger areas.
Construction
Most subwoofer closures have a simple design without a lot of extra components. They’re meant to be durable and produce the best possible audio, though. Common materials include:
- Medium-density fiberboard
- Plywood
- Medite
- Aluminum
- Polycarbonate
- Fiberglass
Most closures are a 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick. Thicker boxes are usually more durable and less likely to break.
Dual systems
In larger setups, such as home theaters, the best audio comes from having two or more subwoofers. Some boxes can fit multiple subwoofers into a single chamber for:
- More dynamic audio
- Minimal distortion
- Decreased output compression
- More accurate, cleaner bass
If you have a smaller space or are using it in the car, go with a single subwoofer system.
Mounting
Many subwoofers have a dedicated piece that lets you position and screw it into the closure. If the box is not thick enough to be mounted, though, it could make it tricky to install.

Strip revenue drops in May with fewer weekend dates, analyst says
A New York-based gaming industry analyst expects gaming revenue on the Strip to be down from previous months in May, simply because there were fewer weekend dates that month.
Carlo Santarelli of Deutsche Bank said in a Monday report to investors that he expects gross gaming revenue to be down 8 percent in May from the previous year despite improving visitation for midweek conferences, meetings and trade shows.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board is expected to announce gaming revenue statistics in late June.
“Our … data projects an 8 percent contraction in year-over-year Strip gross gaming revenue in May,” Santarelli’s report said. “We note that our modeled Las Vegas Strip forecast calls for 0.9 percent year-over-year growth in May, given nuances in hold comparisons. With respect to the +22.8 percent year-over-year gross gaming revenue growth in April, relative to our forecasts for May, we would note that while April faced an easy baccarat hold comparison, the comparison in May is the toughest of the year, and as such, the volatility from month to month relates, in part, to hold comparisons.”
“Hold” is calculated from the amount won compared with the amount wagered.
Baccarat usually is the most volatile game in the casino. But there are also signs that there will be further volatility as a result of the number of weekend dates on the calendar compared with previous months, Santarelli said.
For the 31 days in May, there were 23 weekdays and eight weekend days. The average midweek traffic was 546,519 a day and the average weekend traffic was 661,334 a day, meaning that weekends drew 1.21 times the traffic of weekdays.
By comparison, there were 20 weekdays of 30 days in April and 10 weekend days with an average traffic of 604,921 on weekdays and 785,557 on weekends, meaning that weekends drew 1.3 times the traffic of weekdays.
April was filled with special events such as two sold-out concerts of Korean pop band BTS at Allegiant Stadium, the appearance of the National Association of Broadcasters trade show at the Las Vegas Convention Center and three days of the NFL draft on the Strip at the end of the month.
The biggest special event in May was Electric Daisy Carnival, which drew fans on weekdays and weekends.
Santarelli said estimated traffic for the whole month of April brought in $593.5 million in gross gaming revenue on the Strip, 22.8 percent better than in April 2021 and 23.2 percent ahead of prepandemic April 2019. He projects gaming revenue of $603.2 million, which would be 8 percent below May 2021 but 16.6 percent better than May 2019.
Santarelli did a similar analysis with Las Vegas locals traffic.
He said the average traffic per day was 77,099 in April on weekdays and 107,324 on weekends, or 1.39 times weekdays while May traffic was 85,253 on weekdays and 124,878 on weekends, or 1.46 times weekdays.
“Aggregate daily traffic in May was up about 10 percent from April, with both weekend traffic (+16.5 percent month over month) and midweek traffic (+10.6 percent month over month) up nicely,” he said.
Gross gaming revenue in April was estimated at $237.3 million, down 3.2 percent from a year ago, but up 14.4 percent from April 2019. In May, revenue is projected to be $289.2 million, up 11.9 percent from last year and up 40.1 percent from May 2019.

MILWAUKEE – Andrew Brandt sat next to Aaron Rodgers when he signed his first contract with the Green Bay Packers in 2005. Brandt has consistently recalled memories of being inside 1265 Lombardi Ave when the team decided to transition from Brett Favre to Rodgers in 2008.
Now a media member, the former Vice President of the team reacted to the Packers recent trade of Rodgers to the New York Jets.
On his podcast, “Business of Sports with Andrew Brandt,” he called it a “good deal” for the team and praised current general manager Brian Gutekunst for getting a haul in return for a player who was “never ever going to play for them again.”
“The Packers had leverage here and they used it,” he stated. “It’s a great deal for the Jets if he leads them to the Super Bowl, sure! What’s the chance of that? What’s the margin of error? One team makes it to the Super Bowl in the AFC.
“Oh, by the way, that conference has a team called the [Buffalo] Bills, a team called the [Kansas City] Chiefs, a team called the [Baltimore] Ravens, a team called the [Los Angeles] Chargers. Come on. A team called the Cincinnati Bengals.”
In return for the four-time MVP, Green Bay will swap first-round picks with the Jets, moving up from No. 15 to the 13th overall selection.
WTMJ’S EXTRA POINTS: Rodgers trade yields mixed feelings from fans and analysts alike
The Packers also gain the 42nd pick and the 207th in 2023.
Next season, the Packers will get the Jets’ second-round pick, unless Rodgers takes 65 percent of eligible snaps for New York. If he surpasses that threshold, the pick becomes a first-round choice.
Jordan Love, a first-round pick in 2020, is set to take over as QB1 in Green Bay.

THORP (WQOW) - Dennis Aken was known for many things.
Most importantly, he was known as a good person.
The former Thorp Cardinals basketball coach died of a heart attack last week at 58, leaving a noticeable hole in the community.
But the school and community has come together, and the girls basketball team has vowed to finish the season at the insistence of the Aken family.
Aken will be buried Saturday. You can find service information here. | 2023-01-28T07:56:33+00:00 | wqow.com | https://www.wqow.com/sports/prep-sports/thorp-basketball-playing-for-coach-aken/article_db2fa8cc-9ed3-11ed-8c81-fb92f06f659a.html |
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland -- Three-time Open winner Jack Nicklaus on Tuesday will become only the third American to be honored as an honorary citizen of St. Andrews, Scotland.
The other Americans who received the honor were inventor and statesman Benjamin Franklin in 1759 and golfer Bobby Jones in 1958.
Nicklaus, an 18-time major champion, won two of his three Open titles at the Old Course in 1970 and 1978. He made his final start in a major, his 164th one, in the 2005 Open at St. Andrews.
"When I stepped on it in '64, all of a sudden to step out of the clubhouse, step here, look at the first tee, look at what was there, see the town, see everything, I fell in love with it immediately," Nicklaus said during a news conference on Monday. "And I've had a love affair with it ever since."
The honor was bestowed on Nicklaus, 82, by the Royal Burgh of St. Andrews Community Council. The ceremony will take place during the 150th anniversary celebration of The Open.
"I always said St. Andrews looked like an old gray town until the Open came around," Nicklaus said. "All of a sudden, it just lit up like a light, and it was beautiful. And St. Andrews the week of the Open Championship is always beautiful. I imagine actually probably from anybody who makes a pilgrimage here to play this golf course feels that way."
Nicklaus didn't plan to play in Monday's Celebration of Champions with other former winners, including Tiger Woods and Lee Trevino. Nicklaus said he didn't even bring his clubs to Scotland.
Nicklaus also weighed on the ongoing battle between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, a new circuit being financed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. It has lured several high-profile players, including Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka, away from the PGA Tour with guaranteed signing bonuses of more than $100 million and $25 million purses.
LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman, a two-time Open winner, wasn't invited to participate in the Celebration of Champions or attend the champions' dinner. In a statement, the R&A said it didn't invite Norman because it wanted to avoid distractions during the week.
"First of all, Greg Norman is an icon in the game of golf," Nicklaus said. "He's a great player. We've been friends for a long time, and regardless of what happens, he's going to remain a friend. Unfortunately, he and I just don't see eye to eye in what's going on. I'll basically leave it at that." | 2022-07-11T14:02:06+00:00 | espn.com | https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/34226348/three-open-winner-jack-nicklaus-become-third-american-honorary-citizen-st-andrews-scotland |

Amended autopsy: Black man died due to sedative, restraint
DENVER (AP) — A Black man who died after a police encounter in a Denver suburb in 2019 died because he was injected with a powerful sedative after being forcibly restrained, according to an amended autopsy report publicly released Friday.
Despite the finding, the death of Elijah McClain, a 23-year-old massage therapist, was still listed as undetermined, the report shows. McClain was put in a neck hold and injected with ketamine after being stopped by police in Aurora for “being suspicious.” He was unarmed.
The original autopsy report that was written soon after his death in August 2019 did not reach a conclusion about how he died or what type of death it was, such as if it was natural, accidental or a homicide. That was a major reason why prosecutors initially decided not to pursue charges.
But a state grand jury last year indicted three officers and two paramedics on manslaughter and reckless homicide charges in McClain’s death after the case drew renewed attention following the killing of George Floyd in 2020. It became a rallying cry during the national reckoning over racism and police brutality.
The indictment referenced information from an unspecified pathologist who concluded McClain died of complications of being injected with ketamine, a sedative, while being violently subdued and restrained by law enforcement and emergency responders.
The five accused have not yet entered pleas and their lawyers have not commented publicly on the charges.
The updated autopsy was released Friday under a court order in a lawsuit brought by Colorado Public Radio, joined by other media organizations including The Associated Press. Colorado Public Radio sued the coroner to release the report after learning it had been updated, arguing that it should be made available under the state’s public records law.
Coroner Monica Broncucia-Jordan said she could not release it because it contained confidential grand jury information and that releasing it would violate the oath she made not to share it when she obtained it last year.
But Adams County District Judge Kyle Seedorf ordered the coroner to release the updated report by Friday, and a Denver judge who oversees state grand jury proceedings, Christopher Baumann, ruled Thursday that grand jury information did not have to be redacted from the updated report.
McClain’s death fueled renewed scrutiny about the use of the ketamine and led Colorado’s health department to issue a new rule limiting when emergency workers can use it.
Last year, the city of Aurora agreed to pay $15 million to settle a lawsuit brought by McClain’s parents. The lawsuit alleged the force officers used against McClain and his struggle to survive it dramatically increased the amount of lactic acid in his system, leading to his death, possibly along with the large dose of ketamine he was given.
An outside investigation commissioned by the city faulted the police probe into McClain’s arrest for not pressing for answers about how officers treated him. It found there was no evidence justifying officers’ decision to stop McClain, who had been reported as suspicious because he was wearing a ski mask as he walked down the street waving his hands. He was not accused of breaking any law.

Which Coleman grill is best?
Coleman is one of the most trusted brands available for almost any outdoor need, and one of their best products is the Coleman grill. Known for their quality of construction and easy-to-use designs that pack in all kinds of extra features without breaking the bank, Coleman grills are hugely popular choices for all kinds of portable grilling, from camping to tailgating.
The best Coleman grill for any need is the Coleman Road Trip 285 Propane Portable Grill. This three-burner, adjustable strength grill might stretch the term portable to its limit, but the power and options available are impossible to beat.
What to know before you buy a Coleman grill
Coleman grill sizes
Coleman grill sizes fall into three categories: grill size, burner size and overall size. For more information, visit the Coleman grill buying guide from BestReviews.
- Grill: The grill size covers the total cooking surface area. It’s measured in square inches and British Thermal Units, which relates the amount of heat the grill can produce.
- Burner: Coleman grills have between one and three adjustable burners, all in a horseshoe shape for balancing heat across the grill’s surface.
- Overall: The overall size is the total size of the grill both when folded away and when in use. More powerful grills are larger when folded and when in use and are meant more for road trips, but even two-burner grills can be folded away quite small for camping or backpacking.
Charcoal vs. electric vs. propane grills
Coleman grills are fueled using electricity, charcoal or propane gas.
- Electricity: Electric grills aren’t really meant for use outside, as they require a significant power source, like a portable generator, to properly cook food. This makes them far more suited to grilling indoors at home, since they don’t produce the harmful gases that charcoal and propane do.
- Charcoal: This fuel source for Coleman grills isn’t quite as convenient as propane, as you have to transport the briquettes and dispose of them after. Charcoal grills tend to cost less, however.
- Propane: Propane grills are the gold standard for Coleman grills. Propane is the most efficient fuel source for Coleman grills, with 1-pound propane bottles lasting upwards of 2 hours. They’re the most portable too.
Coleman performance
BTU is the unit assigned to all grills, portable or not, for relating performance. While it doesn’t correlate to cooking temperature, a quick method of calculating cooking efficiency is to make sure you have 50 BTU+ per square inch of cooking surface.
What to look for in a quality Coleman grill
Best way to clean a Coleman grill
Coleman grills are surprisingly easy to maintain and clean. They usually have built-in grease management systems and removable porcelain-coated grilling grates that are also dishwasher-safe.
Coleman multi-use grills
Some Coleman grills are more versatile than others and have features like grilling grates that can be swapped with griddles or stovetops. Large models can have slide-in and -out tables, and still other models have built-in thermometers.
Weatherproof Coleman grills
Coleman grills are meant for use outdoors, and as such have various protections against inclement weather. They usually feature some sort of built-in wind protection, and most use Coleman’s PerfectFlow/PerfectHeat systems to maintain gas supply and thus efficiency.
How much you can expect to spend on a Coleman grill
Coleman grills are very affordable across the board, with tons of value even when compared to full grills. You can get everything you need in a portable grill for less than $150, with the highest-cost, top-of-the-line Coleman grills reaching only $400, or about half the cost of a full grill.
Coleman grill FAQ
Which Coleman grill is the most portable?
A. While all Coleman grills are designed with a portability-to-size ratio in mind, the “most” portable Coleman grill models are those with “Fold N Go” designation.
Can I use full-size propane bottles with my Coleman grill?
A. Yes, you can use full-size 20-pound propane bottles with Coleman grills. That said, Coleman grills are designed around portability and thus natively use 1-pound propane bottles. You’ll need to purchase an adapter and hose to utilize 20-pound propane bottles.
What’s the best Coleman grill to buy?

CHARLEROI, Belgium (AP) — A Belgian-British teenage pilot was on track Tuesday to become the youngest person to fly around the world solo in a small plane as he landed in southern Belgium ahead of the penultimate leg of his global odyssey.
Mack Rutherford, who turned 17 during the journey, touched down at Buzet Airstrip near the city of Charleroi, where he originally learned to fly. He’s due to land in Bulgaria on Wednesday. His aim: to displace Travis Ludlow of Britain, who was 18 when he set the record in 2021.
Rutherford is flying a Shark, one of the fastest ultralight aircraft in the world with a cruising speed reaching 300 kph (186 mph), which has been specially fitted out for the long journey. It’s normally a two-seater, but an extra fuel tank has been installed next to the young pilot.
It’s the same kind of aircraft used by his 19-year-old sister, Zara Rutherford, when she set the world record on Jan. 20 for the youngest woman to fly solo around the world.
Mack’s lonely journey, which began on March 23, took him through 52 countries over five continents. To conform with Guinness World Records requirements, the route crossed the equator twice.
“It was supposed to take between two to three months and it’s been five months now,” he told The Associated Press. Administrative formalities in Crete and Dubai “because of paperwork issues, visas, permits, things like that,” caused the delay.
The flight took him through Africa and the Gulf region — where he face periods of extreme heat — then on to India, China, South Korea and Japan. From there, he headed to Alaska and down the U.S. West Coast to Mexico. The teen then headed north again along the U.S. East Coast to Canada, across the Atlantic via Iceland, to the U.K. and Belgium.
If all goes well, and weather permitting, he’ll fly east across Europe via Slovakia and land at an airport in the Bulgarian capital, Sofia, on Wednesday.
Proud father Sam Rutherford said his two children have set a shining example.
“They have got around the world safely, effectively, professionally. And they’ve shown to other youngsters that you don’t have to be 18 even, and certainly not 30, to make a difference and do something and follow your dreams,” he told AP. | 2022-08-23T19:35:57+00:00 | nwahomepage.com | https://www.nwahomepage.com/news/international/ap-international/teen-pilot-on-track-for-solo-global-flight-world-record/ |
(The Hill) — The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol is set to dissolve no matter who wins Tuesday’s midterm elections — but a GOP takeover of the House leaves a near zero chance it will be revived.
The panel, like all other select committees established this Congress, will sunset with the start of the next Congress in January.
Republican leaders such as House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) have given no sign they intend to keep the committee that has been a thorn in their side and prompted former President Donald Trump to criticize the GOP’s decision to boycott it.
In a speech ahead of the committee’s summer slate of hearings, McCarthy dismissed the panel as “the most political and least legitimate committee in American history.”
“It has used congressional subpoenas to attack Republicans, violate due process and infringe on the political speech of private citizens,” he said in a June address.
“It has permanently damaged the House and divided the country. It’s a smokescreen for Democrats to push their radical agenda.”
The panel’s current members have been quick to acknowledge the Cinderella effect for their committee.
“At the end of a Congress … our carriage turns into a pumpkin. So we’ve got no wheels after that. So we’ve got to make everything happen this year,” Rep. Jaime Raskin (D-Md.) told reporters earlier this year.
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) earlier this week lashed out at Republicans for opposing an independent commission that could have pursued an investigation without any of the scheduling strictures of Congress.
“The idea was killed by Kevin McCarthy and then Mitch McConnell in the Senate,” Cheney said at an event moderated by PBS’s Judy Woodruff, noting that 35 House Republicans voted for the measure. McConnell (Ky.) is the Senate GOP leader.
“If we had that bipartisan outside commission, the investigation would be able to go on beyond the election. But we’ll complete our work and produce a report based upon our work today,” she said.
If Democrats win, they could reinitiate the panel, which has unearthed new details about the riot and has made clear it continues to gather evidence.
Former Trump White House aide Hope Hicks recently appeared before the panel’s investigators, and the committee recently sought interviews with a number of Secret Service personnel after receiving more than a million electronic communications from the agency — far beyond what the panel requested.
If Democrats maintain control of the House, carrying over a select committee conducting an investigation wouldn’t be unprecedented. Republicans did so with its Benghazi committee, extending the 2012 investigation into the end of 2014.
But even if Democrats did so, there’s another mechanism to cap the committee’s work: Its founding resolution disbands the panel 30 days after it issues its final report.
Members of the panel have suggested they may release an interim report on their findings in an effort to not prematurely close out their work.
“When the final report is released, the committee is dissolved,” Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) said in July.
“And so, so long as information continues to come in, we want to avoid that result. We don’t want to prematurely cut off witnesses who want to be heard.”
The lame-duck session could still be a busy time for the panel. The committee will be preparing its final report and is slated to offer its legislative recommendations for how to prevent future insurrection attempts.
Some Democratic lawmakers have suggested the party needs to seize on the two-month window, lest the GOP take over.
“We actually need to get it done,” Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) told The Hill in October. “Because if the House flips, which I don’t think it will, but if it does, Kevin McCarthy’s not going to do anything to protect this country.” | 2022-11-08T22:30:01+00:00 | wearegreenbay.com | https://www.wearegreenbay.com/hill-politics/what-happens-to-the-jan-6-panel-if-gop-wins-the-house/ |
Daughter of 2022 Bike Week murder victims urges caution as event starts up again in Daytona Beach
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Bike Week festivities are back in Daytona Beach, but for some, it comes as a reminder of the gruesome murder of a couple during last year's celebration.
Authorities say Brenda and Terry Aultman were brutally stabbed to death as they were riding their bikes home from the event on March 6, 2022. The man accused of killing the Aultmans, Jean Robert Macean, has been deemed incompetent to stand trial, a judge ruled last month.
The Aultmans' daughter tells FOX 35 News that she still has a difficult time processing what happened a year later, but if anything positive comes from it, she hopes areas like where the crime occurred will have more police and will be better lit. It appears that's the case this year.
"It’s like a living nightmare, and I wouldn’t wish this on anyone," said Sara Turner, who is reminding people to stay vigilant as another Bike Week begins. "They thought they were doing the safe thing, and unfortunately, you aren’t guaranteed safety, even when you are with a group of people or with your significant other," Turner said. "You’re still at risk, and you need to stay hyper-vigilant of your surroundings."
Turner said her mother, Brenda, and stepfather, Terry, who was known as Vann, were doing everything right, walking their bicycles home instead of driving. Now, she's warning people to avoid walking late at night too. "They were just blindsided, they were attacked from behind," Turner said.
The Daytona Beach Police Department says it will have a stronger presence, more medical staffing, and better lighting this year. "My heart still goes out to that family," said Chief Jakari Young. "It’s still very fresh for the family, and it’s still very fresh for us."
Macean is presently in the custody of the Florida Department of Children and Families, which must file a report in May as to the determination of whether Macean has regained competency to stand trial or requires continued treatment.
Macean is a Haitian immigrant and was first arrested in 2019 on drug charges, which were later dropped under former State Attorney Aramis Ayala’s supervision. If convicted, prosecutors will seek the death penalty. | 2023-03-04T06:06:20+00:00 | fox35orlando.com | https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/daughter-of-daytona-beach-murder-victims-urges-caution-as-bike-week-starts-up-again |

Fit and Well Idaho: Winter season slips and falls
He says if you aren’t able to put pressure on your limb to visit your doctor right away.
TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — As the weather is getting colder, and it is getting below freezing at night, that is increasing the chances of slipping and falling on the ice.
And that is the topic of this week’s Fit and Well Idaho report.
One orthopedic surgeon at St. Luke’s says he considers the winter months to be fracture season, and he considers the summer months to be trauma season.
During the winter months, brakes and sprains are common. He says one way to try to stay safe during the cold months is to take it slow, because one wrong step and you can fall in a second.
“Well other than just taking your time and being careful, good shoe wear is always an important thing to have with good traction on there, but just slow down take smaller steps, widen your gate, and just make sure you don’t fall, because once you have that fall there is not much you can do to prevent the consequences of that,” said Ryan Callahan, an Orthopedic Surgeon.
He says if you aren’t able to put pressure on your limb to visit your doctor right away.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — The highly anticipated matchup between No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 Michigan with much at stake is almost here.
The Buckeyes and Wolverines will play for the Big Ten East title and a spot in the conference championship game, where one of them will be big favorites and a win away from reaching the College Football Playoff.
If The Game goes as expected on Saturday in the Horseshoe, it will join a long list of memorable moments in a series that dates to 1897.
Here’s a look back in chronological order at some of the top games in one of the greatest rivalries in sports over the last 50-plus years, according to AP Sports Writer Larry Lage.
1969
In Bo Schembechler’s first game coaching against Woody Hayes, No. 12 Michigan beat the top-ranked Buckeyes 24-12 at home. Hayes lamented the loss, saying the Schembechler-led Wolverines beat the best team he ever had. The game was the start of what became known as the “Ten Year War,” with Bo beating his mentor five times, losing four games and finishing one matchup famously tied.
1973
No. 1 Ohio State and No. 4 Michigan, both undefeated, battled in an instant classic to a 10-10 tie with enough drama to be the subject of a documentary, “Tiebreaker.” The Wolverines seemed to be the better team that afternoon, but kicker Mike Lantry missed two field goals in the last two minutes. Big Ten athletic directors chose the Buckeyes, not Michigan — perhaps because quarterback Dennis Franklin was injured — to represent the Big Ten in the Rose Bowl at a time when the conference would only allow one team to be in a bowl. The Big Ten would later decide to allow more than one school to participate in the postseason.
1987
Ohio State fired coach Earle Bruce just days before The Game after a three-game losing streak dropped his team to 5-4-1. The unranked Buckeyes, wearing white headbands with Bruce’s name written on them, beat the unranked Wolverines 23-20 to drop them to 7-4. Bruce was 81-26-1 overall, including 5-4 against Michigan, but Ohio State let him go and brought John Cooper to campus in a move many Buckeyes would rue because he went 2-10-1 in The Game.
1991
The Game wasn’t close that year as No. 4 Michigan routed No. 18 Ohio State 31-3, but it produced a favorite memory for fans north of the state line and a nightmare for those to the south. Desmond Howard, who hailed from Ohio, returned a punt 93 yards for a touchdown and famously struck a pose from the Heisman Trophy statue he later won.
1997
Like Howard, Charles Woodson crossed the border from Ohio to play for the Wolverines and ended up winning a Heisman Trophy in part because of a signature moment in The Game. Woodson returned a punt 78 yards for a score, sprinting up the same sideline — Ohio State’s — and into the same end zone that Howard did to help No. 1 Michigan beat No. 4 Ohio State 20-14 en route to a national championship.
2002
Maurice Clarett, playing in The Game for the only time, helped No. 2 Ohio State get past the 12th-ranked Wolverines 14-9 on the way to a national title. On the final play, Will Allen sealed the victory for the Buckeyes by intercepting John Navarre’s pass just in front of the goal line. It was one of many victories in the rivalry for Ohio State coach Jim Tressel, who was 9-1 against the Wolverines before resigning in 2011 amid NCAA violations from a tattoo-parlor scandal.
2003
In the 100th game in the series, No. 5 Michigan beat No. 4 Ohio State 35-21 at the end of a dominant run that seems like a distant memory. The Wolverines were 18-9-1 from 1976-2003 under Schembechler, Gary Moeller and Lloyd Carr.
2006
A day after Schembechler died, The Game featured the top-ranked teams in the country. No. 1 Ohio State beat No. 2 Michigan 42-39, building a 28-14 halftime lead and holding off the Wolverines after they pulled within four points twice in the second half. Ohio State pushed its lead back to 11 with 5:38 remaining in an entertaining contest that wasn’t quite as close as the final score.
2013
No. 3 Ohio State held off the unranked Wolverines 42-41 when Tyvis Powell intercepted Devin Gardner’s 2-point conversion pass with 32 seconds left after Michigan coach Brady Hoke, an Ohioan, chose to go for the win instead of taking his chances in overtime. Hoke disliked Ohio State so much he wouldn’t say “State” when mentioning the school and couldn’t recall wearing red.
2016
The second-ranked Buckeyes beat No. 3 Michigan 30-27 in double overtime after barely converting a pivotal fourth-and-1 that probably still bothers coach Jim Harbaugh.
With the ball on the Michigan 16, then-Ohio State coach Urban Meyer decided not to attempt a tying field goal with a kicker who had already missed two short ones in regulation. J.T. Barrett kept the pigskin and ran into the back of his blocker, A.J. Alexander, but the disputed spot stood after a video review. Ohio State soon scored the winning touchdown.
“That was not a first down,” Harbaugh said after the game. “I’m bitterly disappointed with the officiating today.”

Which Samsung smart TVs are best?
Samsung is a reliable and quality brand if you are looking for a smart TV to add to your home. Depending on the model, they come with many different features (some of which are better than others); however, additional features usually mean a higher price tag.
The top choice for a Samsung smart TV that gives a large audience a 4K view is the Samsung Neo QLED QN85A Series 4K. Consider it if you want a high-quality display for your home theater.
What to know before you buy a Samsung smart TV
Where the TV will be mounted
The space of the room you have in mind and personal preference determines the size of the screen you may want. Consider other decor and how the TV fits in the overall environment. Samsung has a line of Frame series TVs designed to be low profile and blend in as if they were framed pieces of artwork on your wall.
Resolution
The newest resolution is 8K, so there is not much native 8K resolution content out there yet. There is plenty of 4K Ultra HD content and Full HD, though. Depending on what you plan to view on the screen, you may not need the highest resolution available. For more Samsung TV options with different resolutions, look at the BestReviews buying guide.
Smart TV apps
Older smart TVs may not have access to all the newest streaming services and applications, while newer models have access out of the box. If you use newer apps such as those from HBO or Disney, you may prefer a newer Samsung model.
What to look for in a quality Samsung smart TV
Display
Beyond screen-resolution classes, smart TVs do not always display light the same way. Crystal processors for 4K optimize color and details. Samsung’s high-quality QLED models have brighter colors and contrast than OLED. The best options are the Neo QLED TVs, which use faster AI processors to optimize visuals.
Sound
If you are setting up a home theater or already have one, your sound system may be separate from the screen. Some Samsung smart TVs are designed to work well with 3D sound setups, and they usually have good quality sound on their own. Newer smart TVs have object-tracking sound to provide an immersive experience, but if you want the best possible sound, invest in speakers beyond those built into the TV.
Additional features
Samsung’s smart TVs give users access to many apps and quality-of-life conveniences but there are more features to consider. The Frame series blends in and displays a piece of artwork on the screen when you are not using it. Serif models are freestanding, very thin and do not need to be near a wall. Some smart TVs are optimized for screencasting from a mobile device, if that is an important feature for you.
How much you can expect to spend on a Samsung smart TV
Pricing varies based on the size and resolution of the screen. Full HD screens cost less than $1,000 and 4K TVs are about $1,000-$3,000 depending on the size and model. New 8K TVs and the like run more than $3,000 and sometimes, they stretch beyond a $10,000 price tag.
Samsung smart TV FAQ
Do the apps and smart features of a smart TV come with additional costs?
A. That depends on which applications you use. Many popular streaming services, such as Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, have paid subscriptions, but you can use all the apps on the smart TV without paying anything as long as you have access to the content. If you could access an app through your computer or other current devices, the smart TV can do the same thing.
Do you need a smart TV to watch streaming services?
A. You can use older TVs or screens that do not have built-in smart functions for viewing your favorite streaming platforms. Devices such as Roku TV, Fire TV and others plug into any TV display. Gaming consoles and computers also can display content on a TV that does not have smart functions. A smart TV has the benefit of convenience, especially when it provides a high-quality experience.

THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR
(The Center Square) – California’s employers added 19,900 nonfarm payroll jobs in June, a decrease from a downward revised (-2,100) gain of 40,800 jobs in May, according to the state Employment Development Department. In June, the Golden State’s unemployment rate dipped to 4.2% from May’s 4.3%.
Meanwhile, the nation’s unemployment rate remained at 3.6% in June, matching May. Nationally, employers’ payrolls added 372,000 new jobs in June compared with 390,000 in May. According to the state EDD, California has regained “93.6% (2,582,900) of the 2,758,900 nonfarm jobs lost during March and April of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.” In June 2022, the Golden State had its sixth straight month of job growth and the 12th consecutive month with a decline in unemployment.
In June, seven of California’s 11 industry sectors gained nonfarm payroll jobs versus eight sectors with employment growth in May and April. Trade and transportation led the way in June, with 9,600 new jobs. The information sector had the most new jobs added in May with 8,800 hires.
Leisure and hospitality employers added 4,900 new hires in June versus 8,800 in May. Leisure and hospitality employment plummeted sharply during the coronavirus pandemic.
Meanwhile, professional and business services and construction lost 6,100 jobs each in June. A drop for the former in accounting and employment services and decreases in building foundation and exterior contractors for the construction sector (which had added 7,100 new hires in May) was the cause of June’s job losses in the two sectors, according to the EDD. In May, trade, transportation, and utilities employers topped the industry sector list for largest month-over job loss of 3,700 employees.
There were 18,544,500 Californians employed in June, up 75,000 from May’s figure of 18,469,500, and a rise of 1,027,100 from the employment total in June 2021, according to the state EDD. There were 819,500 unemployed Californians in June, a drop of 9,800 over the month and a decrease of 684,400 versus June 2021.
Against the backdrop of slower job growth in California, the Dept. of Labor reported that inflation, a general rise in prices, is at a four-decade high. To slow inflation, the Federal Reserve, the nation’s central bank, is hiking interest rates, or the price of borrowing money. That monetary move runs the risk of spurring a recession, a decline of gross domestic product for two straight quarters. | 2022-07-24T18:45:59+00:00 | newspress.com | https://newspress.com/california-unemployment-dips-to-4-2-just-19900-new-hires/ |
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland’s government announced Thursday that it will lift a state of emergency on July 1 along its border with Belarus as it completes the construction of a wall aimed at stopping migrants and refugees.
However, it will still ban people from getting within 200 meters of the border as workers install electronics onto the 5.5-meter (18-foot) high steel wall.
Poland began building the wall and restricted the rights of most people to enter the border area after large number of migrants, most of them from the Middle East, began crossing from Belarus into European Union nations Poland, Lithuania and Latvia.
The EU accused the Moscow-allied government of Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko of encouraging the migration to punish those countries for EU sanctions on his government and to create chaos and disunity within the bloc.
As the new migration route was born, tens of thousands of people from Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, African nations and even Cuba began trying to enter the EU from Belarus.
Thousands made it across and made their way to Germany or elsewhere in Western Europe. But Polish border guards and police have also pushed migrants back across the border into Belarus, a practice that has led to some deaths. The pushbacks of migrants are considered illegal under international law, but Poland changed its own laws to allow them.
There have been reports of over 20 deaths, but refugee rights activists believe the death toll is far higher.
Poland’s state of emergency, which restricts the movements of most people in the border area, had prevented journalists, human rights workers and other citizens from going there, making it more difficult to get a clear picture of the situation.
Human rights groups have condemned the pushbacks and accused Poland’s government of having double standards — wholeheartedly welcoming Ukrainian war refugees while allowing dark-skinned asylum-seekers to die along the border.
The Interior Ministry said it does not need the border zone restrictions any longer “due to the progress of works on the construction of the barrier.”
Poland’s steel border wall topped with barbed wire will run more than 180 kilometers (115 miles) next to Belarus. The border also includes the Bug River, and at least one migrant has already drowned trying to cross it.

The sun may be shining bright, but the sound of Christmas bells is in the air this weekend.
The Salvation Army of Traverse City is holding their Christmas in July Red Kettle Campaign.
They’re set up at seven different locations around Traverse City and are collecting money to help those in need.
These locations include:
- Blains Farm and Fleet
- Family Fare on 8th Street
- Horizon Books
- Oleson’s Food Store in both Long Lake and Hammond
- Tom’s Food Market in both the East Bay and West Bay
The goal this year is to hit $10,000, and all proceeds go to local programs.
“We are so blessed because we’ve got gold kettle sponsors, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Bill Marsh that have helped us get going towards that goal. But we have a lot of work to do over the next day and a half,” Greg Irwin from the Salvation Army Traverse City said.
If you missed the chance to donate Friday, they’ll be out ringing their bells on Saturday too.

CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR says it had a productive test of its new car and promised drivers that solutions to some of their safety concerns should be implemented by next season.
NASCAR's top leadership held a 75-minute meeting ahead of Saturday's practice at Charlotte Motor Speedway. It said it expects a new rear clip, rear bumper structure and center section on next year's Next Gen car. Those parts are too stiff right now and drivers have complained all season they are feeling the force from routine crashes more than before.
Alex Bowman and Kurt Busch are both sidelined with concussions suffered in crashes in the Next Gen, and Cody Shane Ware won't race Sunday because he has a broken foot that would be under too much strain on Charlotte's hybrid road course/oval circuit. It's the first time in at least two decades that three full time Cup drivers will miss a race.
NASCAR had a slide presentation prepared, but two different drivers likened the session to an episode of “Seinfeld.” Erik Jones described it as an “airing of grievances” while Brad Keselowski, driver and part-owner of RFK Racing, said “everybody had a little bit to say, this may be a little bit of a Festivus.”
“It was definitely tense from the driver side. NASCAR did a good job of trying to answer the questions asked, but you can tell that there's frustration,” driver Christopher Bell said. “We got through two slides. I believe that they had a much larger presentation available to us, but we got stuck in open conversation that took up the majority of the time.”
Drivers said NASCAR presented them with data from Wednesday's crash test and outlined the improvements found in the exercise. One of the main goals of the Next Gen was to cut costs and in doing so, the new car was made to be durable and withstand crashes without being destroyed so that teams need only a seven-car fleet for the 38-race season.
The car has proven to be safer in many areas and drivers believe they will be protected in catastrophic crashes. But the impacts to the rear of the cars have been jarring, and after claiming they've complained to NASCAR during the entire design process that the Next Gen is too stiff, the drivers finally snapped after Bowman's concussion two weeks ago and went public with their concerns.
“We just want to feel less inside the car. You look from the outside and you watch crashes and it doesn't look like anything is happening,” Bell said. “But our body seems to be absorbing the majority of the impacts instead of the car absorbing the impacts. We just want the car to help us out where we're not absorbing as much.”
Busch, who will miss his 12th consecutive race, attended the meeting. Ryan Blaney said drivers met last week at Talladega to present a unified front in the meeting.
Among the NASCAR representatives present were NASCAR chairman Jim France, president Steve Phelps and the leaders of the Next Gen project.
“The unfortunate side is we knew about this stuff before coming into this year and we thought it would be OK and it wasn’t,” Blaney said. "It is harder. Heck, you had guys saying right away in preseason testing like, ‘These hits feel a lot harder than what it was last year,’ and to us it’s frustrating that no one listened or believed because we’re the only ones who feel these hits.
"No one from NASCAR is strapping in and going and feeling these hits. I’ve always said, ‘All right, go strap in this thing and go wreck it at 160 (mph) with the old car and then go wreck this new one at 160 and you tell me how you feel after the hit.’ You’re gonna know it’s harder. That’s what it’s designed for, but some of the medium impacts feel way harder than the last car, for sure.”
And yet Blaney said doesn't allow himself to think about his safety when he gets inside his Ford.
Kevin Harvick, one of the more vocal veterans about the Next Gen car, said very little as he left the meeting. He was penalized this week for an illegal modification found on his Talladega car, and NASCAR has denied the penalty was retribution for his comments.
Drivers and teams are clearly fed up with NASCAR. In an extraordinary move Friday, representatives of some of NASCAR's top teams said the sport business model is broken and they must come to a new revenue sharing agreement with the league for team stability.
The team representatives gave an unprecedented amount of details about business models and financial struggles to publicize their plight. NASCAR responded that it wants to work with the teams to solve their challenges.

Bill Harrison and the Harrison Co. team partnering with us is a manifestation of that, and will enable us to provide our partner companies with even greater insights and resources as we seek to realize their company goals and dreams."
"John and I have collaborated on consumer opportunities since the late 1990s when he was at Summit Partners and I was at Credit Suisse. Over the past 23 years, the name of our firms have changed but our intense passion for the healthy-living and active-lifestyle industry remains unchanged," said Bill Harrison, Managing Partner of Harrison Co. "I am thrilled to formalize our partnership due to the compelling alignment of our personal values, sector specialization and tenacious personalities. Harrison Co. regularly identifies high-potential brands that are often not a good fit for the larger consumer funds.

A jury began deliberations Wednesday in the murder case against a former Texas police officer charged with fatally shooting a Black woman through a rear window of her home in 2019.

Article continues below this ad
The jury took up the case after six days of testimony and argument in Aaron Dean's long-delayed trial for killing 28-year-old Atatiana Jefferson while the white Fort Worth officer was responding to a call about an open front door.
The judge told the Tarrant County jurors on Wednesday that they can also consider a charge of manslaughter. Dean shot Jefferson after a neighbor called a nonemergency police line to report that the front door to Jefferson’s home was open. She had been playing video games that night with her nephew and it emerged at trial that they left the doors open to vent smoke from hamburgers the boy burnt.
The case has focused on competing claims of whether Dean, now 38, knew Jefferson was armed when he shot her. Prosecutors alleged the evidence showed he never saw her gun, but Dean testified that he opened fire after seeing the barrel of Jefferson’s weapon pointed at him.

Defense attorney Bob Gill said in closing arguments that Dean had a right to self defense once a gun was pointed at him.
“He saw a firearm pointed at him and based upon his training, he reacted," Gill said. “He reacted tragically, but he reacted correctly under the law.”
But prosecutor Dale Smith described Dean as a “gung-ho, hard-charger” who gave Jefferson no chance to comply with his command to put her hands up. Smith also told jurors there’s no evidence that Dean saw a gun.
“He didn’t know what he saw, he just shot,” Smith said.

The case was unusual for the relative speed with which, amid public outrage, the Fort Worth Police Department released video of the Oct. 12, 2019, shooting and arrested Dean. He’d completed the police academy the year before and quit the force without speaking to investigators.
Since then, the case was repeatedly postponed amid lawyerly wrangling, the terminal illness of Dean’s lead attorney and the COVID-19 pandemic. | 2022-12-14T18:47:53+00:00 | seattlepi.com | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Jury-starts-deliberation-in-Texas-officer-s-17653966.php |
Energy assistance programs helping those in need this summer
(KXII) -This week is the hottest we’ve seen this year and while you may be suffering outdoors, your utility bills may also be taking a hit in the next couple months.
The Low Income Energy Assistance Program, known as LIHEAP is a federal funded program that assists income eligible families with their monthly utility bills.
“States administer their LIHEAP funds differently,” says TCOG’s Director of Energy Services, Judy Fullylove.
In Texas there are up to 30 agencies that will set you up with LIHEAP.
“Texas chooses to administer theirs for the year, regardless of their season,” adds Fullylove.
In Cooke, Fannin, and Grayson County, the Texoma Council of Governments (TCOG), will be your agency.
“The need has to be 150% of poverty level and that is determined by the number of people in the household,” says Fullylove.
If eligible, you will receive aid on your monthly bills for the rest of this year.
“We’ve had quite a few applications this year because there’s so much need,” says Fullylove.
While LIHEAP in Texas runs throughout the whole year, in Oklahoma, the program has a summer cooling program that started taking applications June 28.
“We do not have an end date, we run the program based on available funding so once the budgeted funding runs out then we close the program,” Matthew Conley, LIHEAP Program Administrator in Oklahoma.
So far Oklahoma has received almost 16-thousand applications.
“We did pre-authorize some households, which we’ve already basically approved them for LIHEAP summer cooling,” adds Conley.
Conley adds that they pre-authorized 27-thousand households in Oklahoma, which amounts to 11million dollars of funds.
Should you apply, expect a delay.
“This is not an emergency program so it can take a bit of time. The process can take anywhere from 30 to 60 days,” says Conley.

The prosecution against former Trump political adviser Steve Bannon inched toward a conclusion Wednesday after the Justice Department presented evidence that Bannon flouted multiple warnings that he risked criminal charges for defying a subpoena and rested its case.
Outside the courthouse afterwards, Bannon spoke briefly to reporters. He asked why Jan. 6 committee Chairman Bennie Thompson wasn't present to defend his committee, which he called a "show trial." Bannon did not answer questions about whether he would call witnesses or testify in his own defense.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Amanda Vaughn told jurors Bannon "thumbed his nose" at the government and acted as if the laws didn't apply to him when he flouted a subpoena from the House select committee probing the assault on the U.S. Capitol last year.
Kristin Amerling, the deputy staff director of the committee, said members wanted to know about Bannon's contacts with former President Donald Trump and other people advancing bogus claims of fraud in the 2020 election. Lawmakers also wondered about possible "advance knowledge" of the Capitol attack after Bannon proclaimed "all hell is going to break loose" on his podcast one day before the siege, she testified.
The outlines of Bannon's defense, including whether he will testify, remain somewhat murky. In opening statements, Bannon attorney Evan Corcoran cast the case as infused with politics.
Prosecutors raised objections Wednesday outside the presence of the jury, arguing that was an impermissible effort to turn the case into a "political circus."
"I do not intend for this to become a political case, a political circus, a forum for partisan politics," U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols said.
The issues are fairly straightforward: whether Bannon received a subpoena from the House select committee; whether the subpoena sought information pertinent to its authorized investigation; whether Bannon failed or refused to comply; and whether that failure was willful.
The jury of nine men and five women appeared attentive throughout the long day of testimony. After the judge said they could remove their masks, no one did, according to a pool reporter inside the sixth-floor courtroom. By contrast, Bannon immediately took off his black face mask.
The first government witness, a senior staff member on the House select committee, walked jurors through the panel's correspondence with a Bannon attorney last autumn. The committee never received documents or testimony from Bannon, Amerling testified.
"Did the committee get anything other than radio silence by 10 o'clock in the morning on October 7th?" asked prosecutor Vaughn. "No," Amerling replied.
Bannon's lawyer Corcoran said she had worked for Democrats and made political donations to Democratic political candidates, and that she participated in a book group where most of the members had once worked for former California Rep. Henry Waxman.
"Do you ever discuss the political topics of the day?" Corcoran asked.
"To the best of my recollection ... the conversations cover a whole variety of topics. We try to start with the book and then it goes from there," Amerling said. "It's not unusual that we would talk about politics in some way or another."
The testimony was the first time in more than 20 years on Capitol Hill that Amerling had testified in a criminal trial over contempt of Congress.
"Well sir, it's very unusual for witnesses who receive subpoenas to say outright they will not comply," Amerling said.
In cross examination, Corcoran also highlighted that Amerling had signed paperwork about the subpoena before it had actually been served on Bannon's attorney. Amerling resisted efforts by the defense team to characterize the deadlines for complying as flexible.
"Do you believe finding out what happened on January 6 is a political or partisan issue?" prosecutor Vaughn asked.
"No, I do not," Amerling replied.
The prosecution's second witness, FBI Special Agent Stephen Hart, testified briefly about verified posts by Bannon on the Gettr social media site after the deadline had passed for Bannon to turn over documents to Congress, in an apparent attempt by prosecutors to underscore that Bannon willfully defied the demand from Congress.
Prosecutors rested their case shortly before 5 p.m. ET, and the judge said both sides would meet mid-morning on Thursday to discuss legal arguments and next steps.
The House select committee is scheduled to hold its final public hearing of the summer Thursday, focused on what Trump was doing — and not doing — while intruders rampaged through the Capitol building last year.
The panel is rushing to complete its work by year-end, after interviewing more than 1,000 witnesses to compile an exhaustive account of what precipitated the Capitol siege and what could be done to harden security and bolster government institutions.
As for Bannon, the case could wrap up as early as this week. If he's convicted on the misdemeanor contempt charges, he faces the prospect of jail time.

TORONTO, Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Auxly Cannabis Group Inc. (TSX: XLY) ("Auxly" or the "Company"), a leading consumer packaged goods company in the cannabis products market, is thrilled to introduce a new extension to its Foray brand: Edi's. While keeping true to Foray's pedigree of approachability and accessibility, Edi's is bringing the fun back into snacking with a bold and honest attitude that will speak to consumers looking to enjoy an edible snack while controlling their cannabis experience.
Launching this new brand extension into the market is Edi's Gumdrops, a delightfully chewy, premium gummy that is bursting with familiar flavours of lemon, lime, cherry and orange. With 20 snackable pieces per pack, these low-dosed edibles offer 0.5mg of THC per bite - the first of its kind in Canada - allows consumers to enjoy the snacks they love without concern of overindulging in potent THC cannabis products.
"As we look to continue our expansion into the growing edibles category, we've listened to our consumers and their requests for a more approachable and flexible dosing format," said Michael Lickver, President of Auxly. "Canadian consumers have been restricted to enjoying only one or two pieces of gummy or chocolate when purchasing their edibles, leaving much to be desired. Fitting effortlessly into our Foray brand's targeted consumer base, Edi's will enable consumers to enjoy these new perfectly low-dosed edible products for a more gratifying snack-like experience. We believe Edi's is the disruptive new edible product that the Canadian cannabis consumer has been waiting and asking for and we can't wait to show our consumers we've been listening."
Edi's Gumdrops will be available for Canadian consumers to enjoy by the end of August, with two additional familiar Foray consumer favourites, CBD Blood Orange and CBN Blackberry Lavender, joining the Edi's family later this summer.
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — In a rejection of early moves by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva who took office in January, Brazil’s Congress has stripped powers from the new Ministry of Indigenous Peoples and Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change, both led by women environmentalists.
The move shows the increasing power of Brazil’s so-called “beef caucus,” shorthand for cattle businesses and other large-scale agriculture who together control the majority of both legislative chambers in the country.
“Everything that worried the Parliamentary Front for Agribusiness has been dealt with,” beef caucus member, Senator Carlos Viana, told the Brazilian newspaper Folha de S.Paulo on Thursday. “The main points (of the caucus) have been addressed.”
The changes prevent the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples, led by Sonia Guajajara, from legalizing the boundaries of new Indigenous territories and keep the Ministry of Environment, run by Marina Silva, from managing a national property registry that’s a key tool for monitoring illegal deforestation. These and other authority will be transferred to other federal government branches.
The beef caucus opposes the legalization of additional Indigenous lands. It also opposes measures to control deforestation, which rose sharply under the last administration of Jair Bolsonaro.
Critics argue that the leftist leader Lula did not try hard enough to avert the action in Congress. Last week, the president dismissed that criticism saying that “we shouldn’t be scared of politics.” Allies of the president have also argued that he retains ultimate authority over the environment and Indigenous affairs.

STOCKHOLM (AP) — This year’s Nobel Prize in economic sciences has been awarded to the former chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Ben S. Bernanke, and two U.S.-based economists, Douglas W. Diamond and Philip H. Dybvig, “for research on banks and financial crises.”
The prize was announced Monday by the Nobel panel at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm.
The committee said their work had shown in their research “why avoiding bank collapses is vital.”
With their research in the early 1980s, the laureates laid the foundations for regulating financial markets and dealing with financial crises, the panel said.
Bernanke, 68, who is now with The Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C., examined the Great Depression of the 1930s, showing how dangerous bank runs — when panicked savers withdraw their deposits — can be.
Diamond, 68, based at the University of Chicago, and Dybvig, 67, who is at Washington University in St. Louis, showed how government guarantees on deposits can prevent a spiraling of financial crises.
“The laureates’ insights have improved our ability to avoid both serious crises and expensive bailouts,” said Tore Ellingsen, chair of the Committee for the Prize in Economic Sciences.
Their research took on great real-world significance when investors sent the financial system into a panic during the fall of 2008.
Bernanke, then head of the Fed, teamed up with the Treasury Department to prop up major banks and ease a shortage of credit, the lifeblood of the economy.
He slashed short-term interest rates to zero, directed the Fed’s purchases of Treasury and mortgage investments and set up unprecedented lending programs. Collectively, those steps calmed investors and fortified big banks.
They also pushed long-term interest rates to historic lows and led to fierce criticism of Bernanke, particularly from some 2012 Republican presidential candidates, that the Fed was hurting the value of the dollar and running the risk of igniting inflation later.
The Fed’s actions under Bernanke extended the authority of the central bank into unprecedented territory. They weren’t able to prevent the longest and most painful recession since the 1930s. But in hindsight, the Fed’s moves were credited with rescuing the banking system and avoiding another depression.
Nobel prizes carry a cash award of 10 million Swedish kronor (nearly $900,000) and will be handed out on Dec. 10.
Unlike the other prizes, the economics award wasn’t established in Alfred Nobel’s will of 1895 but by the Swedish central bank in his memory. The first winner was selected in 1969.
Last year, half of the award went to David Card for his research on how the minimum wage, immigration and education affect the labor market. The other half was shared by Joshua Angrist and Guido Imbens for proposing how to study issues that don’t easily fit traditional scientific methods.
A week of Nobel Prize announcements kicked off Oct. 3 with Swedish scientist Svante Paabo receiving the award in medicine for unlocking secrets of Neanderthal DNA that provided key insights into our immune system.
Three scientists jointly won the prize in physics Tuesday. Frenchman Alain Aspect, American John F. Clauser and Austrian Anton Zeilinger had shown that tiny particles can retain a connection with each other even when separated, a phenomenon known as quantum entanglement, that can be used for specialized computing and to encrypt information.
The Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded Wednesday to Americans Carolyn R. Bertozzi and K. Barry Sharpless, and Danish scientist Morten Meldal for developing a way of “snapping molecules together” that can be used to explore cells, map DNA and design drugs that can target diseases such as cancer more precisely.
French author Annie Ernaux won this year’s Nobel Prize in literature Thursday. The panel commended her for blending fiction and autobiography in books that fearlessly mine her experiences as a working-class woman to explore life in France since the 1940s.
The Nobel Peace Prize went to jailed Belarus human rights activist Ales Bialiatski, the Russian group Memorial and the Ukrainian organization Center for Civil Liberties on Friday.

FARGO — In the biggest protest and march in Fargo since the George Floyd rally in the summer of 2020, more than 1,000 residents rallied and marched Friday night against the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
The crowd of young and old chanted, "my body, my choice" in a rally in front of the Quentin N. Burdick United State Courthouse in downtown Fargo.
Those attending used words such as sad, devastated and disappointed.
Erienne Fawcett, who was at the rally with her dog, used the word "devastated."
"I just lost a fundamental right today in this state," the younger Fargo woman said, referring to the North Dakota trigger law that will outlaw abortions in the state in the coming days.
Susan DiFiore, who said she was almost 80, dragged her husband to the rally after a meal downtown. "I'm just really, really very disappointed," said the Moorhead woman. "It's going to mean nothing but trouble and we'll be returning to back alley abortions," she said. "I don't think a lot of people realize how it used to be."

Protest attendee Alice Christianson of Arizona, and a former longtime Fargo resident, knows all too well what happened in the earlier days. Christianson said her grandmother died of a self-induced abortion, adding she never got the chance to meet her and suggested her abusive grandfather was a part of the situation.
"I'm just really upset," Christianson said about the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that overturned almost 50 years of abortion rights in the country. "Abortion is never easy, but banning it is going to put a lot of people in difficult situations."
Will Thompson, who just ran for Fargo City Commission, said the ruling was "federal overreach," and that the issue was about "access to health care and privacy."
Conrad Larson, a transgender man who led the protest and march, said "so many people fought so hard" for abortion rights. "We will never go back," he said, eliciting another chant from the crowd.
Larson pointed out that the Red River Women's Clinic, the only clinic in North Dakota to perform abortions, was moving across the river to Moorhead. He urged people to donate to a GoFundMe page where he said more than $200,000 had been raised already for security, infrastructure and other needs for the move to the new facility.
Also speaking was Destini Spaeth, who fought back tears, as she talked about her statewide organization that will provide funds to women who may have to travel across state lines to access abortion services.
Spaeth, whose organization is called the North Dakota Women In Need, said "we want them to know we are there for them."
Larson, who then led the protesters on a march through downtown streets and to City Hall, said they had "a right to take to the streets," while pondering whether gay rights or even human rights would be taken away next.
Larson added there are religious liberties, but none for women under the new abortion ban.
Despite the short notice, Larson was amazed at the size of the crowd who appeared in protest, and made note of the overall support abortion rights have in the country. "There's more of us than them." | 2022-06-25T04:13:56+00:00 | bismarcktribune.com | https://bismarcktribune.com/news/state-and-regional/more-than-1-000-join-abortion-rights-rally-in-fargo/article_39a174c4-f431-11ec-b322-23ad8ec4e89f.html |

BOSTON (AP) — Jayson Tatum is two days shy of his 25th birthday and has already accomplished more than many of his peers will in their entire careers.
Yet he isn’t where he wants to be. Not yet. Having more nights like Wednesday was a nice preamble to blowing out his birthday candles.
Tatum scored 18 points in a pivotal third quarter and finished with 41 points as the Boston Celtics held on to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 117-113.
“I guess I never really take time to think about where I’m at or the things I’ve accomplished,” Tatum said. “Time does fly. My sixth season. About to be 25. So I’m just trying to enjoy the moment and stay present.”
Tatum added 11 rebounds and eight assists as Boston earned its first victory in three games versus Cleveland this season. With his 20th career 40-point game, the 24-year-old surpassed Giannis Antetokounmpo for seventh place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list for players under 25.
It helped Tatum outduel fellow All-Star Donovan Mitchell, who scored 44 points and sidestepped an injury following a fall in the third quarter.
Al Horford added 23 points and 11 rebounds for Boston. Jaylen Brown finished with 16 points.
Cleveland dropped to 13-19 on the road this season and 19-12 against teams above .500. Darius Garland added 29 points and nine assists for the Cavaliers.
“Tatum’s a heck of a player, Brown’s a heck of a player that knows how to make you pay,” Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff said.
Mitchell’s scary moment came with under six minutes left in the third quarter. While driving into the lane, he lost his footing and tumbled awkwardly to the court, leading to a layup on the other end by Tatum.
Mitchell briefly remained on the floor after the Cavs called a timeout, but he was able to walk to the bench. He stayed in the game when play resumed, scoring Cleveland’s next 10 points and 19 in the quarter. But his teammates managed just seven points, while shooting 3 of 11 from the field. It was Mitchell’s seventh 40-point game this season.
Bickerstaff said Mitchell will continue to be evaluated.
“I kept talking to him. He wanted to stay on the floor,” Bickerstaff said. “He knew once he came out it would stiffen up on him, make it difficult for him to come back in. We talked to the medical staff, he was ready to go, so we kept him out there.”
Boston outscored Cleveland 41-26 in the third and saw its three-point halftime advantage grow to 96-78 entering the fourth.
Cleveland closed within 107-94 with less than five minutes to play when Marcus Smart was whistled for a loose ball foul on Mitchell as the two jockeyed for position on a rebound.
Spurred by pleas from Smart and the entire Celtics bench, coach Joe Mazzulla challenged the call. A review showed Mitchell had grabbed Smart’s arm and yanked it in the air, and the call was overturned.
Tatum knocked down a 3 on the ensuing possession.
Cleveland made one last push late, getting consecutive 3s by Garland to get as close as 113-108 in the final minute. Boston was able to close it out at the foul line.
TIP-INS
Cavaliers: Mitchell posted his 23rd 30-point game of the season, tying his career high for 30-point games in a season (2021-22). … Garland had 12 points, six assists and two steals in the first half. ... The Cavs scored 30 points in the paint in the first half.
Celtics: Improved to 15-18 this season against teams above .500. … Went 6 of 7 from the 3-point line in the third quarter. … Marcus Smart had three steals in the first half.
UP NEXT
Cavaliers: Host Pistons on Saturday.
Celtics: Host Nets on Friday.

CUTE: Triplets reunite with garbage truck driver 4 years after viral video
ORLANDO, Fla. (WESH) – A mom in Florida posted a now-viral video showing the special relationship between her triplets and their neighborhood garbage collector.
The kids were just 3 years old in the video. Four years later, they’re back together for a heartfelt reunion.
The friendship between Tony Parks and Olivia, Emma and Axel, now all 7 years old, had an unusual start.
Years ago, Carla Wierenicz’s family lived on Parks’ garbage route.
Wierenicz said her kids were very little when they began running from the breakfast table in the morning at the sound of Parks’ garbage truck.
“They were excited to see it lift and … dump it on the back, and I say, ‘You know what, come on, let’s go see how it works,’” she said.
Wierenicz said Parks warmed to the appreciation of the triplets.
“He loved those kids so much, and the kids love him; he was the kids’ hero,” she said.
It soon became a necessary interaction between the two parties.
“Every day, they would come out and if they missed me, their mother had to get in the car and circle the neighborhood until they found me,” Parks said.
The daily meet-and-greet was so heartwarming, Wierenicz would occasionally shoot video. Recently, for grins, she posted one of the old videos on Instagram.
People were smitten with the interaction, and the video went viral.
“We still have so many kind people all over the place, it’s so beautiful to see that,” Wierenicz said.
But then Parks’ route changed, and the kids couldn’t see him anymore. But that changed Thursday when the kids learned the City of Orlando had arranged for Parks to roll up again for old time’s sake.
The four hit the highlights of all the things they used to do four years ago, like honk the horn and race down the street.
They exchanged gifts. The triplets gave Parks drawings they spent the night making for him, while Parks gave them mini “City of Orlando” garbage trucks and T-shirts.
“I love it, I’m going to hang it on my wall,” Parks said of the drawings.
Although Parks works a job where he picks up stuff people don’t want, he picked up something from the triplets we all want.
“I picked up joy, I picked up happiness, I picked up memories,” he said.

The cryptocurrency exchange platform Coinbase is laying off 950 employees — around 20% of its workforce — due to the continued downturn in the crypto market and the broader economy, the company announced. This latest round of job cuts comes after the company laid off about 1,100 people back in June.
Coinbase said it had around 4,700 employees in September following the cuts made earlier last year. But the first round of layoffs wasn't enough to keep the company in a good financial position during an ongoing crypto winter, Brian Armstrong, the CEO and co-founder of Coinbase, said in a blog post.
Last year was an extremely volatile one for the crypto space. Bitcoin is currently down more than 70% from its all-time high reached in November 2021. And several crypto companies, including BlockFi, Celsius and the scandal-ridden cryptocurrency exchange FTX, collapsed in 2022. Its founder Sam Bankman-Fried is now facing several criminal charges.
"As we examined our 2023 scenarios, it became clear that we would need to reduce expenses to increase our chances of doing well in every scenario. While it is always painful to part ways with our fellow colleagues, there was no way to reduce our expenses significantly enough, without considering changes to headcount," Armstrong wrote.
As part of the reduction in force, Coinbase is also "shutting down several projects where we have a lower probability of success," Armstrong added.
Armstrong also blamed " unscrupulous actors in the industry" for the volatility and "contagion" in the market— a veiled swipe at FTX, formerly one of the biggest players in the crypto space.
"Coinbase is well capitalized, and crypto isn't going anywhere. In fact, I believe recent events will ultimately end up benefiting Coinbase greatly (a large competitor failing, emerging regulatory clarity, etc.), and they validate our long term strategy," Armstrong wrote. But that will take time to come to fruition, he added.
The employees in the U.S. who were laid off will be getting a minimum of 14 weeks base pay severance (with two additional weeks per year worked), health insurance, and other benefits, the company said. "Transition support" will also be given to impacted employees who have work visas, Armstrong said.

Harbour Air showcasing the future of sustainable flight
VANCOUVER, BC, April 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Harbour Air's ePlane will be making its first appearance in Downtown Vancouver for Earth Day. This marks a significant milestone in the testing and approval process for the certification of electric flying in Canada.
The all-electric, Canadian-built de Havilland Beaver departed from the Harbour Air terminal on the Fraser River, adjacent to YVR, and landed at their Downtown Vancouver terminal.
"We are thrilled to be making our first appearance in Downtown Vancouver on Earth Day" said Bert van der Stege, CEO of Harbour Air. "On this Earth Day 2023, we acknowledge the immense effort required to make a meaningful difference in our environmental impact. Our commitment to sustainability has inspired us to invest significantly in reducing our carbon footprint. As we celebrate this year's theme of "Invest In Our Planet," we are excited to continue our work towards a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable future."
Harbour Air began its ePlane project in 2019 and has since been the global leader in electrifying and testing zero-emission aircraft. The e-plane has successfully completed 25 hours of flight time among 72 flights.
Tomorrow marks the beginning of Harbour Air's exciting Spring ePlane Tour, showcasing the future of sustainable flight throughout British Columbia. The tour kicks off with an appearance in downtown Vancouver on April 22, followed by stops on Salt Spring Island for Electrify Salt Spring on May 5th and 6th, and Victoria Harbour on May 7th and 8th (subject to suitable weather conditions).

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lawyers for Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes rested their case Wednesday in his Capitol riot trial after a man described as the far-right extremist group’s “operations leader” for Jan. 6, 2021, told jurors that he never heard anyone discussing plans to storm the building.
Michael Greene, who is also facing charges in the insurrection, waived his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination to testify in Rhodes’ defense in the seditious conspiracy trial. He was the final witness for the defense before Rhodes’ team rested its case, which included testimony from Rhodes himself.
Greene, an Army veteran who served in Iraq, said he came to Washington to oversee the Oath Keepers’ security services for right-wing figures such as Roger Stone, longtime Donald Trump confidant, at events before the siege.
Seeking to counter the testimony of government witnesses, Greene told jurors that there wasn’t even an “implicit” plan to attack the Capitol.
“Did you put anyone on mission that day to enter the Capitol?” defense lawyer James Lee Bright asked him. “No,” said, Greene, 39, of Indianapolis.
Greene took the stand in the sixth week of testimony in the case accusing Rhodes and four co-defendants of a violent plot keep Democrat Joe Biden from the White House. Prosecutors have argued that the Oath Keepers came to Washington intent on stopping Biden from becoming president at all costs and sprang into action when the pro-Trump mob started storming the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Messages read to jurors show Rhodes in the weeks leading up to Jan. 6 repeatedly warning of violence and the rallying his followers to fight to keep Trump in power. Authorities say Rhodes continued plotting even after the insurrection, presenting testimony that shows the extremist group leader was trying in mid-January to get a message to then-President Trump urging him to continuing fighting to hold his office.
In a risky move, Rhodes chose to take the witness stand in his defense, telling jurors there was no plan to attack the Capitol. Rhodes tried to distance himself from the Oath Keepers who did go inside, saying he believed doing so was “stupid.” On cross-examination, prosecutors questioned Rhodes about his own messages and statements, including when he lamented days after the riot that the Oath Keepers “should have brought rifles” on Jan. 6.
Lawyers for the four other defendants still get to call witnesses and the government has the right to introduce rebuttal testimony.
On trial with Rhodes, of Granbury, Texas, are Kelly Meggs, leader of the Florida chapter of the Oath Keepers; Kenneth Harrelson, another Florida Oath Keeper; Thomas Caldwell, a retired Navy intelligence officer from Virginia; and Jessica Watkins, who led an Ohio militia group. They face several other charges in addition to seditious conspiracy. The rarely used charge calls for up to 20 years behind bars.
Greene told jurors that he wasn’t a dues-paying member of the Oath Keepers but worked essentially as a contractor, handling security operations. He is not charged with seditious conspiracy but other felony offenses stemming from the Capitol attack. Rhodes told jurors he tapped Greene as an “operation leader” for Jan. 6 after meeting Greene in 2017, when they helped with disaster relief after Hurricane Harvey.
Greene testified about how Rhodes, before the “Million MAGA March” in Washington on Nov. 14, 2020, set up a “quick reaction force” that could speed weapons into Washington if necessary. He said Rhodes was concerned at the time that left-wing protesters would storm the White House and forcibly remove Trump. Greene said he told Rhodes that was “crazy.”
“They have a (expletive) arsenal, they’ll slaughter everybody,” he recalled telling Rhodes.
Rhodes’ lawyers never called another man they floated as a potential witness — an Oath Keeper who had been working as a government informant.
The New York Times reported this week that Greg McWhirter was secretly providing information about the Oath Keepers to the FBI in the weeks before Jan. 6.
Prosecutors late Tuesday night inadvertently filed a motion in public that was meant to be under seal, asking the judge to question defense lawyers about whether they had leaked that information. Prosecutors wrote that the lawyers had received that information from the government under a protective order and it should not have been publicly released.
They noted that McWhirter had expressed “tremendous anxiety about his status as a confidential informant being publicly revealed.” The man ended up in the hospital after suffering “medical distress” upon boarding a plane to Washington to testify in the case, prosecutors wrote.

BAD HOMBURG, Germany -- Top-ranked Iga Swiatek seems to be finding her groove on grass ahead of Wimbledon.
Three times a French Open winner on clay and once a U.S. Open winner on the New York hard courts, Swiatek played her first tour-level, grass-court quarterfinal on Thursday against Anna Blinkova at the Bad Homburg Open.
The Polish player looked like she belonged there in a straightforward 6-3, 6-2 win that showcased her abilities on the return as Swiatek broke Blinkova's serve to love three times.
Standing between Swiatek and a first grass final is Lucia Bronzetti after the Italian won her quarterfinal match, 6-4, 6-3, against Varvara Gracheva, the Russia-born player who was playing her first tournament since switching allegiance to France.
The Bad Homburg Open is a warm-up for Wimbledon, where Swiatek's best result in three appearances was a fourth-round appearance in 2021. She was the junior Wimbledon champion in 2018.
American player Emma Navarro faces either Liudmila Samsonova or Katerina Siniakova in the second semifinal match.
Navarro was losing 7-6 (2), 1-1 to Rebeka Masarova when Masarova retired after jarring her left knee while stretching for the ball. Their match had earlier been interrupted for a rain delay after just four points had been played in the first game. | 2023-06-29T18:27:37+00:00 | espn.com | https://www.espn.com/tennis/story/_/id/37934561/iga-swiatek-lucia-bronzetti-advance-bad-homburg-semifinals |
