Mercy one of only 42 U.S. health systems selected to pioneer faster access to beneficial evidence-based care
ST. LOUIS, March 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Health care research has long-lasting impacts on diagnosis and treatment, but it takes an estimated average of 17 years for published research results to be widely put into practice. For patients, that delay can have profound impact.
To address the lag, the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) chose Mercy and 41 other health systems nationwide to pioneer projects that will more quickly move research results into clinical care so patients will benefit sooner.
"We know patients become frustrated when they see reports of positive clinical research outcomes, yet years pass before they benefit," said Dr. John Mohart, Mercy Communities president, who leads hospital operations across Mercy and serves as Mercy's project lead for the PCORI-funded initiative. "Participating in this program will enable us to be even more proactive in speeding adoption of new evidence-based care that matter most to our patients."
As a participant in PCORI's Health Systems Implementation Initiative (HSII), Mercy brings its innovative, on-the-ground experience and expertise in health care delivery to develop and implement viable strategies for actively adopting new evidence.
Through this program, Mercy will have the opportunity to prepare proposals for projects that will speed the latest research-informed care improvements to larger numbers of patients. Each participating health system can receive up to $500,000 to support preparation for future, rapid implementation strategies. Additional HSII funding opportunities will support practical and innovative projects to implement PCORI-funded research evidence within the HSII participants, with funds available for up to $5 million per project. Mercy plans to take advantage of both.
In addition, through the HSII Learning Network, Mercy and other participants will learn from one another about best practices for implementing research-informed care strategies. Through the Network, participants will provide input to PCORI on topics and specific PCORI-funded findings of interest for future projects.
"The opportunity for funding will strengthen our ability to undertake and evaluate implementation and to put other PCORI-funded evidence into practice for our patients," said JoAnne Levy, vice president of Mercy Research. "Ultimately, our participation will lead to improved health care delivery and better outcomes. This opportunity to be one of the few systems participating will further ensure we get the right care to the right patients at the right time and in the right place."
HSII participants collectively represent 800 hospitals serving 79 million unique patients—nearly a quarter of the U.S. population—across 41 states and the District of Columbia. In addition to health systems like Mercy, they include academic medical centers, community-based systems, integrated health care delivery and finance systems, safety net health systems, faith-based systems, public health care delivery systems and a medical center within the Veterans Health Administration. See the full list on PCORI's website.
"We welcome the opportunity to work with Mercy and the other health systems participating in this groundbreaking initiative that will leverage their knowledge and experience to facilitate practice change and improve care based on results of PCORI-funded research," said PCORI Executive Director Nakela L. Cook, M.D., M.P.H. "The HSII participants' efforts will lay the groundwork for future expansion and broader implementation by demonstrating pathways to uptake and sharing lessons learned across health systems."
HSII is part of a portfolio of PCORI-funded efforts that aim to improve the awareness, uptake and use of results from patient-centered research. PCORI is an independent, nonprofit organization that funds comparative clinical effectiveness research providing patients, their caregivers and clinicians with the evidence to make better-informed health and health care decisions. PCORI is committed to seeking input from a broad range of stakeholders to guide its work.
Mercy, one of the 25 largest U.S. health systems and named the top large system in the U.S. for excellent patient experience by NRC Health, serves millions annually with nationally recognized quality care and one of the nation's largest Accountable Care Organizations. Mercy is a highly integrated, multi-state health care system including more than 40 acute care, managed and specialty (heart, children's, orthopedic and rehab) hospitals, convenient and urgent care locations, imaging centers and pharmacies. Mercy has 900 physician practices and outpatient facilities, 4,000 Mercy Clinic physicians and advanced practitioners, and more than 40,000 co-workers serving patients and families across Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. Mercy also has clinics, outpatient services and outreach ministries in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.

- VOXZOGO® $48 Million Contribution in the Quarter Results in BioMarin Raising Full-year 2022 VOXZOGO Net Product Revenue Guidance to Between $140 Million and $170 Million
- U.S. Biologics Application for ROCTAVIAN™ Accepted by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA); Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) Target Action Date is March 31, 2023; Commercial Launch of ROCTAVIAN Underway in the European Union (EU) Following August 24, 2022 Approval
SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Oct. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ: BMRN) (BioMarin or the Company) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.
"As anticipated, BioMarin is on-track to deliver double-digit revenue growth and profitability for the full-year 2022, underscored by our record year-to-date operating results. VOXZOGO demand is driving our financial performance and we expect additional launches in Japan and other global markets to further accelerate sales of this innovative product," said Jean-Jacques Bienaimé, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BioMarin. "Our third quarter and year-to-date performance not only showcased the continuing success of our VOXZOGO commercial launch, but also the European regulatory approval of ROCTAVIAN, the world's first gene therapy approved for the treatment of severe hemophilia A. The launch in the EU is underway and, in the United States, the BLA for ROCTAVIAN was accepted by the FDA with an assigned PDUFA target action date of March 31, 2023. With two key product approvals and commercial launches over the past 12-months, the foundation of our 5-year strategic plan is in place."
Financial Highlights:
- Total Revenues for the third quarter of 2022 were $505.3 million, an increase of 24% compared to the same period in 2021 despite continued erosion of the U.S. KUVAN market, and incremental foreign exchange headwinds. The increase in Total Revenues was primarily attributed to the following:
- GAAP Net Loss decreased to $6.7 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to GAAP Net Loss of $36.5 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily related to higher gross profit driven by increased sales volume, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses and a higher tax provision. The increase in SG&A expenses was largely due to higher costs to support the commercial launch of VOXZOGO and ROCTAVIAN, higher foreign currency exchange losses and severance costs associated with the Company's organizational redesign announced in October 2022. The increase to the tax provision was primarily attributed to higher year-to-date income driven by increased gross profits and the net gain on the sale of the Priority Review Voucher during the first quarter of 2022.
- Non-GAAP Income increased to $82.7 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to Non-GAAP Income of $33.5 million for the same period in 2021 driven by higher gross profit due to increased sales volume partially offset by higher SG&A expenses largely driven by higher costs to support the commercial launch of VOXZOGO and ROCTAVIAN and higher foreign currency losses.
New Product Approvals and Launches (ROCTAVIAN and VOXZOGO)
- Following EMA approval in the quarter, the commercial launch of ROCTAVIAN is now underway. It is estimated that approximately 20,000 adults are affected by severe hemophilia A across more than 70 countries in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Of the 8,000 adults with severe hemophilia A in the 24 countries within BioMarin's footprint covered by the EMA approval, there are an estimated 3,200 patients who are indicated for ROCTAVIAN based on the current label.
- To determine eligibility for ROCTAVIAN, treating physicians in countries covered by the EMA approval can use a companion diagnostic (CDx) test to ensure that patients do not have pre-existing antibodies to AAV5. The CDx test is CE-marked and designed to ensure the highest safety standards for use in determining patient eligibility for treatment with ROCTAVIAN.
- On October 12, 2022, BioMarin's resubmission of the BLA for ROCTAVIAN was accepted by the FDA with a PDUFA target action date of March 31, 2023. The FDA recently communicated plans to hold an advisory committee meeting but has yet to provide a date. If approved, ROCTAVIAN would be the first gene therapy in the U.S. for the treatment of severe hemophilia A.
- At present, in the U.S. the Premarket Approval (PMA) application is under review at the Center for Devices and Radiological Health to support contemporaneous approval of a CDx along with the ROCTAVIAN BLA.
- The global expansion of VOXZOGO is actively underway, with market access and reimbursement progressing as anticipated. As of September 30, 2022, there were 29 active markets contributing to VOXZOGO sales with an estimated 713 children being treated, as compared to an estimated 446 children as of June 30, 2022.
- In the quarter, VOXZOGO became commercially available in Japan resulting in meaningful contributions from the early launch. Japan accounts for approximately half of the 1,500 patient opportunity in the Asia-Pacific region.
Mid-stage Product Life Cycle Expansion Opportunities (VOXZOGO and ROCTAVIAN)
- During the quarter, the Company held discussions with global regulatory health authorities regarding the favorable results from the Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled VOXZOGO study in infants and young children up to five years of age with achondroplasia. Based on these interactions, BioMarin intends to submit supplemental marketing applications by the end of 2022 in the U.S. and EU to expand access to VOXZOGO treatment for this younger age group.
- Product expansion opportunities with ROCTAVIAN are supported by a number of clinical studies currently underway. The Phase 3b study to evaluate ROCTAVIAN with prophylactic corticosteroids has completed enrollment and is expected to read-out in early 2023. Two additional studies, one investigating ROCTAVIAN treatment in those with active or prior inhibitors, as well as one study investigating ROCTAVIAN in people with pre-existing antibodies against AAV5.
Earlier-stage Development Portfolio (BMN 255, BMN 331, BMN 351, BMN 349, BMN 293 (DiNA-001))
- BMN 255 for primary hyperoxaluria, a prognostic factor for chronic renal disease: The Company is proceeding with the multi-ascending dose phase of the First-in-Human study with BMN 255. BioMarin believes the availability of a potent, orally bioavailable, small molecule like BMN 255 may be able to significantly reduce disease and treatment burden in certain people with chronic renal disease.
- BMN 331 gene therapy product candidate for Hereditary Angioedema (HAE): Dosing continues in the Phase 1/2 HAERMONY study to evaluate BMN 331, an investigational AAV5-mediated gene therapy for people living with HAE, including dose escalation to the 6e13vg/kg dose, which our non-clinical studies project to provide therapeutic levels of C1-inhibitor.
- BMN 351 for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD): Investigational New Drug application (IND)-enabling studies continue with BMN 351, an antisense oligonucleotide therapy for individuals with exon 51-skip-amenable DMD. BMN 351 was developed using familiar chemistry and superior biology, by targeting a novel, upstream, splice enhancer site demonstrating improved binding affinity and tolerability in preclinical models. Preclinical data suggest that restored expression of near-full-length dystrophin protein at levels of up to 40% will convert phenotypes from rapid loss to durable preservation of strength and ambulation. The IND is expected to be activated in early 2023 to enable initiation of the clinical phase of development.
- BMN 349 for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency: Preclinical studies have demonstrated that BMN 349 is an orally bioavailable, small molecule that is titratable with rapid onset and high potency and efficacy. Preclinical results have strong implications for potential improvement of current management, particularly for severe liver disease requiring rapid action. IND enabling studies are well-underway and BioMarin's goal is to file an IND for BMN 349 in the second half of 2023.
- BMN 293 (formerly DiNA-001) for MYBPC3 hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM): Preclinical studies are underway with BMN 293 following a collaboration announced in 2020 with DiNAQOR, a gene therapy platform company, to develop novel gene therapies to treat rare genetic cardiomyopathies. Mutations in MYBPC3 are the most common cause of inherited HCM. Early investigations suggest that gene therapy-mediated gene transfer can lead to widespread expression of the gene product, cardiac myosin-binding protein C (MyBP-C), in cardiac tissue, which can normalize cardiac hypertrophy, improve relaxation kinetics and potentially alleviate functional deficits in individuals suffering from cardiomyopathy. BioMarin's goal is to file an IND for BMN 293 in 2023.

Non-GAAP Information
The results presented in this press release include both GAAP information and Non-GAAP information. As used in this release, Non-GAAP Income is defined by the Company as GAAP Net Income/Loss excluding net interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, contingent consideration expense and, in certain periods, certain other specified items, as detailed below when applicable. In addition, BioMarin includes in this press release the effects of these adjustments on certain components of GAAP Net Income/Loss for each of the periods presented. In this regard, Non-GAAP Income and its components, including Non-GAAP Cost of Sales, Non-GAAP Research and Development expenses, Non-GAAP Selling, General and Administrative expense, Non-GAAP Intangible Asset Amortization and Contingent Consideration, Non-GAAP Gain on the Sale of Intangible Asset and Non-GAAP Benefit From Income Taxes are statement of operations line items prepared on the same basis as, and therefore components of, the overall Non-GAAP measures.
BioMarin regularly uses both GAAP and Non-GAAP results and expectations internally to assess its financial operating performance and evaluate key business decisions related to its principal business activities: the discovery, development, manufacture, marketing and sale of innovative biologic therapies. Because Non-GAAP Income and its components are important internal measurements for BioMarin, the Company believes that providing this information in conjunction with BioMarin's GAAP information enhances investors' and analysts' ability to meaningfully compare the Company's results from period to period and to its forward-looking guidance, and to identify operating trends in the Company's principal business. BioMarin also uses Non-GAAP Income internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and to make operating decisions, and compensation of executives is based in part on this measure.
Non-GAAP Income and its components are not meant to be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to comparable GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors should note that the Non-GAAP information is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and does not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors should also note that these Non-GAAP measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, have limits in their usefulness to investors. In addition, from time to time in the future there may be other items that the Company may exclude for purposes of its Non-GAAP measures; likewise, the Company may in the future cease to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its Non-GAAP measures. Because of the non-standardized definitions, the Non-GAAP measure as used by BioMarin in this press release and the accompanying tables may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The following table presents the reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Non-GAAP Income:
The following reconciliation of the GAAP reported to the Non-GAAP information provides the details of the effects of the Non-GAAP adjustments on certain components of the Company's operating results for each of the periods presented.

Carbon Monoxide from Generators Can Kill in Minutes
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As Tropical Storm Ian moves out of Florida and approaches Georgia and the Carolinas, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is alerting consumers in the path of this dangerous storm about the risks of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning from portable generators and other post-storm hazards. Preparing in advance of Tropical Storm Ian is crucial, but planning for the storm's aftermath is also critical.
Loss of Power—Using a Generator Safely
Consumers need to be especially careful when storms knock out electrical power. Portable generators create a risk of CO poisoning that can kill in minutes. CO is called the invisible killer because it is colorless and odorless. Exposed persons may become unconscious before experiencing the milder CO-poisoning symptoms of nausea, dizziness or weakness.
CPSC estimates that about 85 consumers die in the U.S. each year from CO poisoning from portable generators.* A recent CPSC report, Fatal Incidents Associated with Non-Fire Carbon Monoxide Poisoning from Engine-Driven Generators and Other Engine-Driven Tools 2011-2021, shows that African Americans are at higher risk, accounting for 23 percent of generator-related CO deaths, nearly double their estimated 13 percent share of the U.S. population.
In the case of a power outage, follow these important life-saving tips:
- Never operate a portable generator inside a home, garage, basement, crawlspace or shed. Opening doors or windows will not provide enough ventilation to prevent the buildup of lethal levels of CO.
- Operate portable generators outside only, at least 20 feet away from the house, and direct the generator's exhaust away from the home and any other buildings that someone could enter, while keeping windows and other openings closed in the path of the generator's exhaust. Do not operate a generator on an outside porch or in a carport. They are too close to the home.
- Watch our new public service announcement (PSA) on generator safety. (English, Spanish)
- Check that portable generators have been maintained properly, and read and follow the labels, instructions, and warnings on the generator and in the owner's manual.
- Look for portable generators that have a CO shut-off safety feature, which is designed to shut the generator off automatically when high levels of CO are present around the generator. Some models with CO shut-off features also have reduced emissions. These models may be advertised as certified to the latest safety standards for portable generators–PGMA G300-2018 and UL 2201–which are estimated to reduce deaths from CO poisoning by 87% and 100%, respectively.
Check CO and Smoke Alarms
- Install battery-operated CO alarms or CO alarms with battery backup on each level and outside separate sleeping areas at home. Interconnected CO alarms are best; when one sounds, they all sound. A CO alarm is your last line of defense when using a generator–it can save your life!
- Make sure smoke alarms are installed on every level and inside each bedroom at home.
- Test CO and smoke alarms monthly to make sure they are working properly, and replace batteries, if needed. Never ignore an alarm when it sounds. Get outside immediately. Then call 911.
Dangers with Charcoal and Candles
- Never use charcoal indoors. Burning charcoal in an enclosed space can produce lethal levels of CO. Do not cook on a charcoal grill in a garage, even with the door open.
- Use caution when burning candles. Use flashlights instead. If using candles, do not burn them on or near anything that can catch fire. Never leave burning candles unattended. Extinguish candles when leaving the room and before sleeping.
Dangers with Wet Appliances:
- Look for signs that your appliances have gotten wet. Do not touch wet appliances that are still plugged into an electrical source.
- Before using your appliances, have a professional or your gas or electric company evaluate them for safety. Replace all gas control valves, electrical wiring, circuit breakers and fuses that have been under water.
Dangers with Gas Leaks:
- If you smell or hear gas leaking, leave your home immediately and contact local gas authorities from outside the home. Do not operate any electronics, such as lights or phone, before leaving.
Remember, stay informed, be prepared and keep safe!

Protest held after off-duty FBI special agent shoots dog in Center City Philadelphia
By Corey Davis
Click here for updates on this story
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — An animal rights organization held a protest Tuesday morning after an off-duty FBI special agent shot a dog in Center City Philadelphia.
The incident occurred around 8 p.m. Monday in front of the Touraine Apartments near 16th and Spruce streets, according to investigators.
There is video circulating from immediately after the incident where witnesses said dogs appeared to possibly be fighting or had their leashes tangled.
Witnesses said the owner of one of the dogs shot the other dog.
There were several onlookers along the 1500 block of Spruce Street when the gun was fired.
The owner of the dog that was shot appeared to have two dogs. She rushed with Philadelphia police to be with her injured dog and left the other pet in the care of someone else at the scene.
Protesters made their voices heard outside FBI headquarters on Arch Street.
The FBI confirmed that an off-duty FBI special agent was the one who shot the dog.

When Ben Silverman sank a par putt on 18 at Pebble Beach Golf Links on Sunday, Aaron Rodgers raised both arms in jubilation.
In holing out, Silverman closed out one part of an eventful AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The outcome of the professional competition remains in doubt, with golfers scattered across the back nine, ready to resume play on Monday morning.
Justin Rose holds a 2-stroke advantage over Peter Malnatti, Denny McCarthy and Brendon Todd as the final round concludes. Rose will begin play on Monday in the fairway on 10.
So the team title was all that could be decided on Sunday. And for Rodgers, the future Hall of Fame quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, a Pro-Am title was cause for celebration.
“This is a pretty big deal for me,” he says. “It’s always been on my bucket list.”
Silverman and Rodgers proved to be formidable as a team. While Silverman failed to make the cut on the pro side, his par on 18 erased Rodgers’ miscues, giving them a stroke advantage over Malnatti and Don Colleran, the retired FedEx executive who already has a Pro-Am win.
The Pro-Am title did not sit well with Buffalo Bills signal caller Josh Allen and his professional teammate Keith Mitchell. In jest, Allen told Rodgers the championship should come with an asterisk, given that pro-am play was halted after 54 holes.
“I think Josh and I won,” Mitchell adds, laying it on facetiously. “Aaron Rodgers doesn’t count. His handicap was crap.”
The week was hounded by wind. Saturday’s third round was suspended due to vicious gales, leaving the third round unfinished.
Event organizers decided to wrap up the Pro-Am side once the round was finished on Sunday morning, with 75 professionals making the cut. The final round began on Sunday afternoon, with play to resume at 8am on Monday.
On Sunday afternoon, Rose used an eagle and birdie on the front nine to pull ahead of Malnatti, who was at the top of the leaderboard after the third round. The 3-stroke swing also helped him stay in front of McCarthy, who birdied seven of the first nine holes to charge toward the front.
“It was a great day,” McCarthy observes. “I felt really comfortable all day, and even this morning with the nine holes I played at Monterey [country club]. Probably some of the best golf I played all week, honestly.
Like McCarthy, Rose began his Sunday on the Shore Course at Monterey Peninsula Country Club. He had been on the green at number 9 on Saturday when gale force winds whipped up around noon. Balls at rest began rolling away, making the day unplayable.
“It’s just the beauty of Pebble Beach golf,” Keith Mitchell explains. “Sometimes you get perfectly sunny, no wind. Fifteen minutes later, it’s blowing 40 and raining.”
After flirting with the lead throughout the week, Mitchell ended the day on Sunday locked in a duel for fifth with Beau Hossler, Brendon Wu and Taylor Pendrith.
So on Sunday, that left Rodgers holding one of the two trophies on offer. When asked how he could so readily swap shoulder pads for a golf bag…
“I can take this one,” Silverman interjects to laughter. “He’s an athlete, man. He knows how to get it done, and that’s what he did.”
Amateurs
To put Rodgers’ accomplishment into perspective, Ron Rivera, head coach of the Washington Commanders, was in awe after the third round.
“It was the hardest thing I ever had to do,” he points out. “Coaching football is easy.”
Rivera was most impressed by the evaluation professionals apply to every situation and their willingness to be creative, particularly in consultation with their caddies.
“I learned to think about shots,” he says.
Meanwhile, Charles Kelley, frontman for the country music band Lady A, left the Monterey Peninsula thinking about one almost shot.
On the 17th at Pebble Beach on Sunday morning, his attempt for par lipped out.
“That was going to be my highlight,” he explains. “I wouldn’t normally play golf in these conditions, but it was fun.”
Beset by wind and rain, many were just happy the ordeal was over, no matter how special. For Heidi Ueberroth, however, Sunday was more of a prelude.
“I want to play another round,” she says, before turning to one of her group and admitting to the need for a break.
Realizing the discrepancy, Ueberroth covers quickly.
“Relaxing isn’t a bad second choice,” she says with a laugh. | 2023-02-06T07:56:08+00:00 | montereycountyweekly.com | https://www.montereycountyweekly.com/aaron-rodgers-claims-amateur-title-professional-play-continues-monday-at-pebble-beach/article_d00be14c-a5e3-11ed-9341-cf13e13dc26a.html |
A panel of independent vaccine experts recommended Tuesday that the Food and Drug Administration authorize a coronavirus vaccine developed by the Maryland biotechnology company Novavax, paving the way for the fourth shot in the United States.
The Novavax shot is a protein-based vaccine from traditional technology used against influenza and shingles. Many experts are eager to add another vaccine to the toolbox, particularly because the Johnson & Johnson shot is now recommended only for people who cannot or will not take messenger RNA vaccines.
“It’s important to have choices in vaccine platforms in a pandemic that is constantly evolving,” said Gregory Poland, director of the Mayo Clinic’s Vaccine Research Group and a paid consultant to Novavax.
But Novavax’s two-shot regimen is likely to have a limited impact as it arrives more than a year after other highly effective vaccines became available. Most of the population eligible for the shot — people 18 and older — are already vaccinated. About 27 million adults in the United States have not received any shot, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Experts on the committee noted that data supporting the vaccine’s authorization was old, showing its performance against an earlier iteration of the virus, before the current variants arose.
Bruce Gellin, chief of global public health strategy at the Rockefeller Foundation, abstained from voting but said he was giving the vaccine a “conditional yes.” He said the vaccine was shown to be generally safe and effective when clinical trials were conducted but that “we don’t know whether that is true today.” He said it was important to monitor the vaccine’s performance as it comes into use.
Given that other safe, effective vaccines are available, the panel debated whether it was necessary to authorize another option. Some committee members expressed skepticism about whether vaccine hesitant people would embrace the new shot.
But an FDA official stressed the importance of having options.
“Having a protein-based alternative may be more comfortable for some in terms of their acceptance of vaccine,” said Peter Marks, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. “I will use this as a moment on the bully pulpit to say: We do have a problem with vaccine uptake that is very serious in the U.S., and anything we can do to make people more comfortable to accept these potentially lifesaving products is something we are compelled to do.”
The first vaccines to be authorized in the United States — from Pfizer and its German partner, BioNTech, and from Moderna — were based on messenger RNA technology, which instructs the body’s cells to build proteins that teach the immune system to halt the coronavirus. The technology had been under development for years, but the pandemic was the first time it was authorized — and the shots have now been widely used.
People who can’t or won’t take the mRNA vaccines may embrace the Novavax shots, but the ultimate use of the vaccine is probably as a booster. Going forward, the company plans to seek authorization for the shot as a booster and for use in adolescents and children.
The Novavax vaccine was shown to be 90 percent effective in a clinical trial run before the emergence of the omicron variant of the coronavirus. The results were announced a year ago, but the vaccine has repeatedly been delayed by manufacturing challenges.
“It is disappointing … that we don’t have more updated information, because we’re looking at the efficacy against strains that don’t exist anymore,” said advisory committee member Eric J. Rubin, an infectious-disease specialist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. Even so, he said the case for the vaccine was “pretty compelling” considering some people who have avoided mRNA vaccines have shown interest in Novavax.
The regulatory issues regarding manufacturing are among the reasons for the delay in authorizing the shot from Novavax, which submitted its request for emergency authorization in January. Questions had arisen about why it has taken so much longer for the shot to reach the U.S. market. The Novavax vaccine is already authorized in dozens of countries, including Japan and Britain.
Marks, of the FDA, said the agency doesn’t follow the lead of other countries, including on manufacturing.
“We take manufacturing very seriously,” Marks said, adding that the FDA has “a very high standard,” which is why it sometimes is referred to as a gold standard.
The FDA’s analysis identified five cases of heart inflammation happening shortly after vaccination among 40,000 people in the company’s trials, raising concern that the shot could carry the same rare risk as mRNA vaccines. Novavax executives pushed back on the FDA’s concern, noting that a company analysis showed that rates of the cardiac conditions myocarditis and pericarditis were exceedingly low and about the same in the group that received the vaccine and in study participants receiving a placebo.
“I think the story is incompletely written here, and we need to more fully understand what is going on,” said Filip Dubovsky, Novavax’s chief medical officer.
The Novavax coronavirus shot was one of six candidates backed by Operation Warp Speed, the federal program established to accelerate vaccine development. The government invested $1.6 billion in the Maryland company to support development of the shots. Even with the influx of cash, the challenges to scale up were enormous.
“The messenger RNA vaccines are truly remarkable. They are a great gift to humanity, and they were the first to cross the finish line. But whether or not they will turn out to be the optimal vaccine for these viruses is not clear,” said H. Cody Meissner, a pediatric infectious-diseases specialist at Tufts University School of Medicine. “I don’t think we want to rest on what we have at this point because there’s always an opportunity to improve a vaccine.” | 2022-06-07T21:16:22+00:00 | washingtonpost.com | https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2022/06/07/novavax-coronavirus-vaccine-fda/ |

When news hit that Mikhail Gorbachev had died at age 91, Associated Press journalists around the world began sharing their “Gorby” stories from covering the last Soviet leader or interviewing him in Russia or abroad in the three decades that followed. They remember his temper and sense of humor, his sharp intellect even in his later years, when he was willing to talk at length about his hopes and his regrets.
That is if you could follow his long, rambling sentences in his southern Russian accent and his annoying tendency to refer to himself in the third person. For some of them, though, it was the warmth of an aging Gorbachev that they remember. The shared tea, the arm around the shoulder. Gorbachev was a man who changed the world, and the AP was there.
___
Gorbachev came to power in 1985 with no less of a goal than to transform the Soviet Union and the lives of his fellow citizens, many still desperately poor. The obstacles he faced were monumental.
For AP correspondents in Moscow at the time, “it was like covering sports,” remembers Andrew Katell. “What was the score? Was the development we were reporting good or bad for Gorbachev, a win or a loss?”
It was hard for reporters in Moscow to get close enough to Gorbachev to ask those questions. When he traveled abroad, however, he was usually eager to press the flesh and talk to the press. So, when Katell was covering Gorbachev’s official trip to Madrid in 1989, he thought his chance had come.
He raised his hand repeatedly at a news conference, but was ignored. Afterward, he rushed the stage and asked the Soviet leader if he could ask one more question. Gorbachev “smiled, said nothing, extended his hand for a shake, then walked away.”
AP correspondent Brian Friedman also got the Gorbachev treatment. In summer 1992, less than a year after the Soviet Union disintegrated, Friedman trailed him as he left the Fourth of July party at the U.S. ambassador’s residence. Shorn of his security detail and big limousine, Gorbachev was carrying his suit coat over his shoulder as he walked back to a simple Volga sedan.
“I tried to politely ask him a question about the upcoming court case the following week over the legacy of the banned Communist Party. I then extended my tape recorder to get his response,” Friedman said. “Gorbachev, the former president of the USSR, looked at me, looked at my tape recorder and said, ‘This we don’t need!’ and knocked my recorder out of my hand to the ground. He then stormed off.”
Friedman had seen a more amiable, if wistful, Gorbachev at a going-away party for his staff on Dec. 26, 1991, the day after his nationally televised address in which he announced his resignation as president.
“He held a small glass of lemon-flavored vodka. Known in his career as a teetotaler and for his anti-alcohol campaigns, Gorbachev said with a twinkle in his eye, ‘You think I can’t do it? Now I can afford to!’ And he then gulped it down.”
It was mostly the amiable Gorbachev who greeted correspondents in his years out of power.
In the early 1990s, he sent out a press release inviting journalists to a news conference at the airport before he embarked on one of his many international speaking tours. Larry Ryckman remembers that most everyone in the AP’s Moscow bureau rolled their eyes, busy with covering the emergence of a new chaotic Russia. But he was game and headed out to the airport. He was one of only a couple of journalists.
“Gorbachev’s wife, Raisa, gave me a look that seemed to be a mix of gratitude that I had bothered to show up and embarrassment at the pitiful turnout,” Ryckman said. “We ended up sitting around a small table in the airport lounge chatting for a few minutes — with just Gorbachev, his wife and a couple of aides. He didn’t end up saying anything particularly newsworthy, but it’s one of my favorite memories from my time in Moscow.”
During the next few years, Gorbachev built his foundation, a think tank designed to defend his legacy, and he toured the world, often drawing huge enthusiastic crowds. At home he struggled to stay relevant.
For journalists working in Moscow, Gorbachev was of interest mainly as the anniversaries of the 1991 pivotal events rolled around. But even in August 1996, only five years after a failed coup mounted by a group of communist hardliners, the AP story quoted only two sentences from an interview with him.
“These five years have proved all that I said — that the breakup of the Soviet Union would bring grave calamity for Russia and all the other republics,” Gorbachev said. “I find myself in the role of a Cassandra.”
His long-shot, comeback candidacy for the presidency had been crushed earlier that year. Julia Rubin, who interviewed him then, remembers him as genial and friendly, joking with the AP’s television camera operators about getting the angles right. But he was also a little testy about being sidelined politically. “He had strong opinions and still wanted to be part of the conversation” about where the countries of the former Soviet Union were headed.
He also wanted his voice heard on the dangers posed by the steadily deteriorating relations between Russia and the U.S.
When Barack Obama was elected in 2008, Russians called him the American Gorbachev because of his promises to bring change. Interested to hear what the real Gorbachev had to say, the AP sat down with him one evening at his foundation. And, yes, he agreed that America was ready for its own perestroika.
What interested him more was whether Obama would “muster his courage” to ease tensions with the Kremlin. Gorbachev was proud of his part in bringing an end to the Cold War and the nuclear arms race, and wanted that legacy preserved. At the end of the interview, Lynn Berry remembers that he mused about the possibility of a feature film to tell his story to coming generations. Perhaps he could be played by Leonardo DiCaprio?
“When we posed for a photograph before leaving, Gorbachev linked his arm around mine,” Berry said. “It was awkward and the picture shows my arm hanging limply by my side. Later, though, I really wished I had returned the kind gesture.”
While largely ignored in Russia, Gorbachev remained a figure of historical importance to the rest of the world. When he traveled to Berlin in 2011, David Rising leapt at the opportunity to interview him.
Gorbachev, then 80, talked animatedly about the Arab Spring demonstrations in Egypt following the ouster of Hosni Mubarak. In a break with the Kremlin, he said the demonstrations seeking democratic reforms in Egypt and across the region were of “vital importance.” At the same time, he lamented the backsliding of democracy in his own country under Vladimir Putin.
“As genial as he was thoughtful, after our formal interview was over Gorbachev seemed in no hurry to wrap up, putting his arm warmly over my shoulder and continued to share his thoughts on the end of the Cold War and the current state of democracy in Russia,” Rising said.
Rising was struck that he was speaking to the last Soviet leader in an office in former East Berlin not far from where President Ronald Reagan in 1987 stood on the other side of the Berlin Wall and implored him to “tear down this wall.”
“The privilege of talking with the man whose policies of perestroika and glasnost helped lead to the fall of that wall only two years later is one I’ll never forget,” Rising said.
The AP caught up with Gorbachev again in February 2014 in the city of Sharjah, in the United Arab Emirates, where he was speaking at a conference. For Adam Schreck, as for Rising, this was a chance to talk to a man who had “earned a place solidly in the history books.”
The Moscow-friendly president of Ukraine had just been ousted after months of protests, which Gorbachev attributed to the president’s failure “to act democratically.” Over tea served with lemon in a darkened and ornate hotel room, Gorbachev shared his fears for Ukraine. He said the situation was “a real mess” and it was “important not to tear it apart.”
Schreck remembers thinking at the time that Gorbachev was hinting at something deeper, “that Ukraine’s future as an independent, democratic state might not be smooth. I’d return to those words on my way to Kyiv to cover the war earlier this year.”
Within days of the interview, Russia seized control of the Crimean Peninsula, helping lay the groundwork for the current conflict.
In December 2016, the 25th anniversary of the Soviet collapse, Gorbachev spoke bitterly of the West’s failure to provide vital aid in the 1990s, calling it a wasted chance to build a safer world. In a lengthy interview with the AP in Moscow, he made an urgent plea for Russia and the U.S. to work together. “Together, they could lead the world to a new path.”
By the time Russia invaded Ukraine in February of this year, Gorbachev’s health was too poor for him to tell the world what he thought. | 2022-09-02T13:51:16+00:00 | texomashomepage.com | https://www.texomashomepage.com/news/ap-covering-gorbachev-ap-remembers-his-wit-wisdom-warmth/ |
Oxford High School students walk out for school safety, form U on football field
OXFORD, Mich. (FOX 2) - It's been two days since there was another school shooting in the United States, this time in Uvalde, Texas. On Thursday, high school students at the last one before it marched out of school in support of the victims and to raise awareness about keeping students safe.
Students walked out of Oxford High School at noon on Thursday and marched through the campus and onto the team's football field. There, they formed a massive circle around the O at midfield.
They then turned the O into a giant U for Uvalde.
Four students were killed inside Oxford High School on Nov. 30. As the city and school recovered and tried to heal, more shootings have taken place.
Most recently, at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, where 19 children and two teachers were murdered by an 18-year-old man who was then killed by police.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Ben Bryant threw two touchdown passes, Cincinnati added two other scores on fourth down and the two-time defending American Athletic Conference champion Bearcats opened league play with a 31-21 victory Saturday night over Tulsa.
Bryant's 61-yard pass to a wide-open Tyler Scott gave Cincinnati (4-1, 1-0) a 14-7 lead in the final minute of the first quarter and the Bearcats led the rest of the way in winning their fourth straight.
Deshawn Pace had an 18-yard pick-6 for the Bearcats' first points. Cincinnati intercepted Davis Brin twice, had 11 sacks and held the Golden Hurricane (3-2, 0-1) to 36 yards rushing.
Bryant threw for 166 yards with a pick and Corey Kiner rushed for 106 yards, including a 19-yard TD on fourth down for a 21-7 lead.
Brin, who returned to action after leaving with an injury in the second quarter last week in a loss to Mississippi, threw for 237 yards, going over 5,000 for his career, but was intercepted twice. Keylon Stokes had 106 yards on six catches and went over 200 career receptions. Tulsa came in ranked fourth nationally in passing yards at 358.5.
Deneric Prince scored on 8- and 2-yard runs for Tulsa, the second score cutting the lead to 24-21 but Bryant's 2-yard toss to Josh Whyte on fourth down made it 31-21 heading into the fourth quarter.
Cincinnati notched its 17th straight win over an AAC team, dating to 2019 and took an 18-17-2 series lead.
Tulsa had a chance to cut the lead in the fourth quarter after Jaise Oliver's interception at the Bearcats 21 with under seven minutes remaining. But despite two personal foul penalties and a pass interference call on Cincinnati, Tulsa was halted at the 1.
Bearcats linebacker Ivan Pace Jr., who came in as the nation's leader in tackles for loss with 11, added 2.5 more as part of his 10 tackles.

It was 75 years ago that Porsche registered its first sports car, an unassuming 356 known as No. 1. To mark the anniversary, Porsche imagined what the 356 might look like if it were designed today. The result is the Vision 357 concept, first shown as a coupe in January and on Thursday revealed in speedster form.
Making its formal debut at this week’s 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed in the U.K., the Vision 357 Speedster concept is a modern take on the 356 Speedster that was introduced in 1954 at the request of famous U.S. importer Max Hoffman. He also convinced Mercedes-Benz to build the 300SL.
Gone is the glass roof of the coupe, with only a windshield and a single headrest and roll bar for the driver projecting upward beyond the car’s shoulder line. A tonneau cover conceals the passenger side.
Inside, the cabin is completely scaled back, with only the bare minimum of controls present and exposed carbon fiber lining most surfaces. A digital instrument cluster consisting of a transparent panel provides the driver with both information and a clear view of the road ahead.
Other interesting features include invisible taillights hidden beneath a mesh pattern milled into the body panel, slender camera stalks instead of conventional side mirrors, and retro-style wheels measuring 20 inches in diameter, made from magnesium, and topped with carbon-fiber hubcaps to improve aerodynamic efficiency.
Unlike the coupe, which shares a platform and flat-6 engine with the 718 Cayman GT4 RS, the Vision 357 Speedster is an electric vehicle. It rides on the bones of the 718 GT4 e-Performance that was presented at last year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed and serves as a test bed for a planned electric 718 sports car due around 2025, as well as a potential racing version of that car. That means the concept has an electric motor powering each axle capable of delivering a maximum 1,073 hp combined.
Don’t look for a production version of either Vision 357 concept anytime soon. However, Porsche design chief Michael Mauer has hinted that certain elements may preview future design themes for upcoming production models, potentially including the electric 718 or even the next 911.
The Goodwood Festival of Speed runs from July 13-16. Porsche will also use the event to present the 718 Spyder RS and Mission X concept to the public for the first time.

The anti-all-star team is an idea that struck me last week while assembling the fantasy version of the all-star squads announced by the NHL. The concept is simple, while the fantasy all-star team highlighted the players best combining production and expectations, the anti-all-star squad will do the opposite.
These are the players that are doing the least compared to the expectations we put on them prior to the season. That is all relative, of course. For example, you'll see Auston Matthews on the Atlantic Division team -- but that by no means implies he's a poor asset for fantasy. In point of fact, he's ninth in fantasy scoring this season and tied for sixth in fantasy points per game (FPPG). What makes him eligible for this team, however, is the expectation that he would be the only one capable of competing with Connor McDavid to be the best in fantasy this season. But there are seven other players doing better in that chase, while Matthews lags McDavid by more than 50 fantasy points.
This isn't necessarily an all-dud team. Many of these players are likely helping you achieve success in fantasy this season. It's just that they aren't helping as much as we hoped they would.
Once again, same rules as the NHL apply here: One player from each team (even if it feels forced at times) and one goaltender per division, but no need to balance forwards and defensemen.
Metropolitan Division
Artemi Panarin, W, New York Rangers: After posting 2.2, 2.4 and 2.5 fantasy points per game going back the previous three seasons, there is no question Panarin is not doing what fantasy managers drafted him to do this season. Was Ryan Strome a better center for him than Vincent Trocheck is turning out to be? Or have Panarin and Trocheck just not quite had enough time together? Or is Panarin, in his age-31 season, just starting to come out of his prime?
Ondrej Palat, W, New Jersey Devils: There weren't very many good candidates from the Devils, as overachieving has been the theme this season. So we'll be tough on Palat here, even though he's only been healthy for 11 games. His 1.5 FPPG isn't good enough considering the top-six talent he plays with.
Johnny Gaudreau, W, Columbus Blue Jackets: Did expectations get built up too much because of Gaudreau's enormous contract year and offseason drama? If you note that his FPPG this season is better than it was in both 2020-21 and 2019-20, it's a fair question. His 1.8 FPPG is a far cry from last season's 2.5 though, however you slice it.
Evgeny Kuznetsov, C, Washington Capitals: He's outside the top 150 skaters for total fantasy points in a healthy season. This should have been a bounceback campaign for Kuznetsov with Nicklas Backstrom sidelined for the first half.
Jake Guentzel, W, Pittsburgh Penguins: After ranking in the top 25 skaters for FPPG in the previous two seasons and coming into his age-29 campaign, everything was primed for Guentzel to put it all together for a career season. His 2.1 FPPG isn't terrible, but it's more like top 75 as opposed to top 25.
Ivan Provorov, D, Philadelphia Flyers: This is made more disappointing because Provorov actually started strong. On Nov. 27, he ranked 10th among defensemen in fantasy points and had 2.2 FPPG. Now, he ranks 25th among defensemen and his plummet continues.
Ryan Pulock, D, New York Islanders: Cresting above 2.0 FPPG in two of the past three seasons, Pulock currently sits 48th among defensemen for fantasy points and has posted a lowly 1.6 FPPG.
Frederik Andersen, G, Carolina Hurricanes: Sorry, Andersen, but someone has to get picked on from the division and no other goaltender has done significantly less than what was expected of them. This is a prime example of how this anti-all-star team works. While Elvis Merzlikins has the worst goals saved above expected mark in the NHL this season, nobody in fantasy was counting on him. So Andersen, even though he's been great when healthy, gets to represent the Canes on this team because he missed so much time.
Atlantic Division
Juraj Slafkovsky, W, Montreal Canadiens: Poor Slavkovsky ends up on this squad because no one -- anywhere -- expected too much out of the Habs this season. While Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield have cooled after a hot start, their overall production has been solid. Slafkovsky, while a risk in fantasy drafts, has been disappointing relative to opportunity. If you told me he was a lineup regular with 12 minutes per game, I would have said he'd be fantasy relevant prior to the season. A 0.9 FPPG rate says otherwise.
Auston Matthews, C, Toronto Maple Leafs: Again, we have a case of no one really playing below expectations for the Leafs. Maybe Michael Bunting, but we knew his star was tied to Matthews success. And Matthews has been far from disappointing, it's just that he's not neck and neck with Connor McDavid as the clear-cut top fantasy options.
Sam Reinhart, C/W, Florida Panthers: A drop-off of more than 35 fantasy points is what Reinhart is currently on pace for. With the talent on the Panthers, this shouldn't have happened this season. Rate-wise, it's a drop from 2.2 FPPG last season to 1.7 FPPG this year.
Victor Olofsson, W, Buffalo Sabres: Had to pick someone from this crew of overachievers. With everyone else on the team blowing past expectations, it's a touch disappointing to see Olofsson cruising along at the exact same 1.4 FPPG he posted last season. That said, the Sabres are a success story and no one was really drafting Olofsson this year anyway. But again, each team gets a representative.
Taylor Hall, W, Boston Bruins: The Bruins aren't even using Hall with regularity in the top six -- even with an injury among the ranks. Hopes that the future Hart Trophy winner could find a fantasy groove later in his career are proving to be fruitless.
Tyler Bertuzzi, W, Detroit Red Wings: Not too many underwhelmers from the Red Wings, so Bertuzzi gets the nod here despite his injuries. He's only managed 12 fantasy points in 12 games heading into Monday's action.
Victor Hedman, D, Tampa Bay Lightning: He is rounding back into form again, but the fact that Mikhail Sergachev was the Lightning's top fantasy defenseman for two months of the season despite a healthy Hedman in the lineup was a troubling start to the campaign. Though he has posted 2.2 FPPG in the past month and is getting back to where we want him to be, there was a time in mid-December when Hedman was outside the top 50 defensemen; not top 50 skaters, that's top 50 defensemen.
Cam Talbot, G, Ottawa Senators: He just isn't a fantasy factor. Now in January, it's getting increasingly risky to still be waiting for the Sens to find their rhythm. Maybe this is the Sens? A mercurial offense despite a top-notch power play, but without the chops in the crease to make the playoffs. I don't think anyone drafted Talbot to be their No. 1 fantasy goalie, but he's not even a No. 2 at this stage.
Central Division
Matt Duchene, C/W, Nashville Predators: Regression from 43 goals was inevitable for the just-turned-32-year-old, but Duchene might see his goal total cut in half. I would have been all-in on him at least getting to 30 goals, but one cold streak and Duchene might struggle to get to 20. This Predators offense is on pace to score 37 fewer goals than they scored last season. I wonder where they all went. Mr. Duchene, I'm looking at you.
Tyler Seguin, C/W, Dallas Stars: There's a parallel universe somewhere with Seguin and Taylor Hall near the top of the leaderboards for scoring in the NHL. But it ain't this one. Will Seguin get back to his pre-leg-injuries form? Now two years removed, it's starting to look like this is the new base line. Which means he's only relevant when someone higher up the depth chart is injured.
Alex Newhook, C/W, Colorado Avalanche: Despite currently sitting outside the playoff picture, no one on the Avs is really doing less than we expected them to this season. That's means the anti-all-star team rep is the sleeper we hoped would step into Nazem Kadri's skates on the second line, but hasn't made much of an impact for fantasy this season at all.
Cole Perfetti, C/W, Winnipeg Jets: Perfetti didn't have lofty expectations set upon him this season, but he was a great sleeper because of the opportunity he might get. Well, he's received every bit of the expected opportunity and more, he just hasn't converted time in this talented top six to fantasy points.
Ryan O'Reilly, C, St. Louis Blues: Most other Blues are doing what we wanted them to this season or perhaps even more. O'Reilly wasn't expected to be a world beater or anything, but his contributions to date are completely irrelevant to fantasy. We were certainly expecting more than that.
Nick Schmaltz, C/W, Arizona Coyotes: With expectations for the club set so low, there aren't many good representation options from the Coyotes. That said, I wanted more of late-2021-22 Schmatlz, who was a top 50 fantasy forward in the NHL. We aren't getting that from him yet, but remember this was about the time he heated up last season.
Patrick Kane, W, Chicago Blackhawks: Mercy. Mercy, dear Blackhawks. While I am infatuated with the idea as an NHL fan of a player staying with an organization for the entirety of a career, this is painful to watch as a fantasy manager. Just 1.6 FPPG from Kane? Even in my worst-case scenarios for the Hawks, I still had Kane collecting more fantasy points.
Marc-Andre Fleury, G, Minnesota Wild: I almost went the Marco Rossi route here, as there were some hefty expectations the rookie winger would find a meaningful role. But he's been off the radar since October. Fleury just isn't passing muster as a fantasy goaltender; a fact made all the more stark by Filip Gustavsson performing exceptionally well in the very same crease.
Pacific Division
Jonathan Huberdeau, W, Calgary Flames: The inspiration for this anti-all-star team, Huberdeau is following up a 115-point, 212.6-fantasy point campaign in 2021-22 with a painful showing here. He is on pace for 60 points and 12 fantasy points. Just a shadow of what he earned in Florida last season.
Adrian Kempe, C/W, Los Angeles Kings: If you told me that Kempe would play virtually every moment of five-on-five with Anze Kopitar and be a lock on the first power-play unit in his age-26 season, I would have promised improvement in fantasy scoring from his 1.9 FPPG last season.
Phil Kessel, W, Vegas Golden Knights: Yeah. Well, it was a hope on a wing and a prayer built on a house of cards. But it was still some kind of expectation here. Instead, Kessel's only headlines this season are from his iron-man streak.
Oliver Bjorkstrand, W, Seattle Kraken: The arrival of Eeli Tolvanen is making it so even Bjorkstrand might start to meet the sleeper expectations placed upon him, as every member of the Kraken is going above and beyond this campaign. But after almost scoring 30 goals last season and moving to a stronger offense, seven goals is less than we hoped at the halfway point.
J.T. Miller, C/W, Vancouver Canucks: Miller is like Matthews inclusion on the Atlantic squad: He's not a poor fantasy investment by any means, he just isn't meeting the demands of last season. It's a drop from 2.7 FPPG to 2.3 FPPG, which is nothing to complain about unless you took Miller in the first two rounds of a draft -- which is something that happened.
Alexander Barabanov, W, San Jose Sharks: When no one outside four players is earning any fantasy value -- and no one was expected to -- it's hard to be disappointed with anyone here. For Barabanov, it's just a matter of playing the most minutes on the top power-play unit with the Sharks players who do move the needle, yet Barabanov is earning almost no fantasy value to speak of.
John Klingberg, D, Anaheim Ducks: Take your pick from the Ducks for this anti-all-star team. Troy Terry and Trevor Zegras are equally good candidates, but Klingberg's 1.6 FPPG is just terribly underwhelming given the formula for this season: He was just supposed to anchor the top power-play unit and earn enough value to be flipped at the deadline. It was supposed to be so simple.
Jack Campbell, G, Edmonton Oilers: Take your pick of Pacific Division goaltenders not named Logan Thompson or Martin Jones. Jacob Markstrom and Thatcher Demko have dropped off a cliff, but for Campbell to come into Edmonton on such a major deal and purport to be the answer in net only to lose his starting gig a month into the season -- that's anti-all-star team. But don't look now! Campbell has won four of five starts and maybe, just maybe is pushing for a larger share of the crease back. | 2023-01-18T16:08:11+00:00 | espn.com | https://www.espn.com/fantasy/hockey/story/_/id/35469332/expectations-vs-production-disappointing-fantasy-hockey-picks |
The Boston Police Department says it recovered a gun that a seven-year-old brought to school on Thursday.
Police responded to the UP Academy Holland school after getting a report about a student with a firearm.
The NBC affiliate in Boston reports that the student had a semi-automatic gun in their backpack.
It's unclear how the student obtained the gun. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said the person who failed to properly store the gun will be held responsible.
"No child should be near a weapon, much less directly endangered at such a young age," Wu said. "Thanks to the swift action and coordination of school staff, Boston police, and first responders, this situation was immediately identified and safely addressed.”
Police and school officials did not say whether the student will face any disciplinary action.
The UP Academy Holland is a school that serves 770 students from kindergarten through fifth grade, according to the school's website. | 2022-10-28T18:38:40+00:00 | ktvh.com | https://www.ktvh.com/news/national/police-7-year-old-brought-loaded-gun-to-school-in-boston |
BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Thousands of people rallied in Serbia’s capital on Saturday for a fifth time in a month, following two mass shootings that shook the nation, even as the country’s populist president rejected any responsibility for the crisis and ignored the protesters’ demands to step down.
The crowd, chanting slogans against President Aleksandar Vucic, marched through the capital, Belgrade, to gather in front of his downtown headquarters. They released a large balloon with the inscription “Vucic Go Away.”
University students led the march, holding a banner that read “Serbia against violence!”
The opposition protesters have been demanding the resignations of senior government officials and the revocation of broadcasting licenses for TV networks which, they say, promote violence and glorify crime figures.
The protest on Saturday was somewhat different from the ones before. Independent journalists covering the march saw right-wing groups infiltrating the march to promote their nationalist agenda.
Analysts say some of these groups have close ties to Serbia’s security service.
There were reports of ultranationalist supporters attacking a protester with a baton. Some of the attackers had t-shirts with the Russian Z inscription, a symbol of the Russian aggression against Ukraine.
The opposition has accused Vucic of fueling intolerance and hate speech during his increasingly autocratic 11-year rule, while illegally seizing control of all state institutions. Vucic has denied this, claiming the opposition groups want him toppled by force.
“They just need to know that dead or alive, including my children, I will fight against those who support violence,” Vucic told a pro-government TV station. “They will never scare me.”
The two shootings on May 3 and 4 stunned the nation, especially because the first one happened in an elementary school in central Belgrade, when a 13-year-old boy took his father’s gun and opened fire on his fellow students. Eight students and a school guard were killed and seven more people wounded. One more girl later died in hospital from head wounds.
A day later, a 20-year-old used an automatic weapon to randomly target people in two villages south of Belgrade, killing eight people and wounding 14.
Popular Serbian actor Dragan Bjelogrlic told the crowd that “we owe a debt” to the dead children.
“We owe them the truth and justice,” he said. “We owe them what we didn’t give them while they were alive.”
Authorities have launched a gun crackdown in the aftermath of the shootings and sent police to schools in an effort to boost a shaken sense of security.
Serbia is flooded with weapons left over from the wars of the 1990s, including rocket launchers and hand grenades. Other gun-control measures declared in the wake of the shootings include tighter controls on gun owners and shooting ranges, a moratorium on new licenses, and harsh sentences for possession of illegal weapons.

THE CENTER SQUARE
(The Center Square) – Leading Republican lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives filed new legislation that would ban federal employees from working with big tech companies to censor Americans.
The bill comes as ongoing reports show that federal law enforcement and the White House have regularly communicated with social media companies like Facebook and Twitter, pressuring the companies to remove posts and accounts for a range of issues, including questioning the COVID-19 vaccine.
“The collusion between bureaucrats and Big Tech has gone on for far too long. Government agencies shouldn’t censor the free speech of Americans,” said Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who is helping lead the effort. “The Protecting Speech from Government Interference Act is an important first step toward transparency and accountability for Biden’s bureaucrats and Big Tech.”
The bill would prevent federal officials from using their influence or authority, “including contracting, grantmaking, rulemaking, licensing, permitting, investigatory, or enforcement actions – to promote the censorship of lawful speech or advocate that a third party or private entity censor speech.”
For violators, the bill uses the same penalties for violations of the Hatch Act, which can include removal, fines, or a reduction in pay. The bill singles out high level officials, banning them from personally advocating for this kind of censorship.
The House now has a Republicans majority, emboldening those lawmakers. However, their legislation will still have a tough time in the divided Senate and faces a potential veto from President Joe Biden.
That legislation, though, can give a window into what action Republicans will take if they win the White House and Senate in 2024.
“The actions taken by the Biden administration to pressure Big Tech to censor content online are an attack on our fundamental right to free speech,” said Energy and Commerce Committee Chair McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., who is also helping lead the effort. “It’s time for this behavior to end.”
The legislative proposal comes alongside an investigation from the House Oversight Committee, which is digging into federal law enforcement and the White House’s work with these companies.
One particular instance of censorship has rallied opposition to tech companies controlling information on their platforms.
Billionaire and new owner of Twitter Elon Musk has authorized a series of document dumps called the “Twitter files” which helped expose more details about the tech companies’ collusion with federal law enforcement and the Democratic Party behind the scenes to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 election.
So far, the “Twitter files” have featured most notably internal communications between top Twitter executives, the Biden administration and federal law enforcement.
Last year, the Oversight Committee launched an investigation into the Department of Homeland Security after news broke that Facebook had an online portal where federal law enforcement could flag content that it wanted removed. The Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency reportedly relied heavily on the portal, flagging posts to be removed.
“This effort began after CISA partnered with left-leaning organizations and Big Tech companies to launch the Election Integrity Partnership,” House Oversight Committee said in its letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. “The EIP provides an online complaint-processing platform that permits groups – including the Democratic National Committee on at least four occasions – to submit ‘tickets’ reporting narratives they flagged for concerns.
“‘Tickets’ were frequently resolved by taking one of several actions: 1) banning the user from posting his or her lawful speech or deplatforming the individual entirely, 2) algorithmically restricting the reach of the speech on the platform, or 3) adding other information, such as a warning label, to the post alerting users to the post’s disfavored status,” the letter added.
The White House has downplayed the portal, but former Press Secretary Jen Psaki admitted the White House had a hand in regulating information.
“We are in regular touch with the social media platforms and those engagements typically happen through members of our senior staff and also members of our COVID-19 team, given as Dr. Murthy conveyed, this is a big issue of misinformation specifically on the pandemic,” Ms. Psaki said at a press briefing in July of last year, referring to the U.S. surgeon general, Dr. Vivk Murthy. | 2023-01-17T22:38:59+00:00 | newspress.com | https://newspress.com/new-bill-would-ban-feds-from-working-with-big-tech-to-censor-americans/ |
MIAMI (WSVN) - The two teams are rivals, but off the field it’s all about love of the game and love for one another.
“First of all, we have to love each other,” said a coach.
Coaches and players from the national baseball teams of Israel and the Dominican Republic are in South Florida this week for the World Baseball Classic.
“It’s an important time, both in the Latino and Jewish community, but in particular in the Jewish community hate has increased,” said Jesse Rojo, director of Philos Latino.
On Tuesday, they came together at Jose Marti Park in Miami to spread a message against hate.
“Member of the Jewish and Latino community to promote hope and friendship, solidarity, a time to use sports to build bridges,” said Rojo.
“Teach the kids the importance and hopefully educate them,” said Nelson Cruz, general manager of the Dominican Republic baseball team.
“To teach them from a young age, baseball is a sport that you learn from a young age. If you want to be good at baseball you have to practice,” said Jordy Alter, president of the Israel Association of Baseball.
“It’s the same message when it comes to anti-semitism and racism in general, you need to learn the facts, you need to learn what’s going on, and you need to have that type of structure to resist what is out there in the world,” said Alter.
This comes during a moment in history where the incidents of anti-semitism are on the rise.
Just this past week, a neighborhood in West Palm Beach was hit by hate. Zip-lock bags carrying flyers with menacing symbols and messages were tossed in front of dozens of homes.
For both of these countries, it’s about continuing an international friendship that stretches back decades.
“Dominican Republic is one of the only countries to open up its doors to jews that were fleeing Europe, so we have a history with them that is almost 100 years old,” said Alter.
The teams hope that the bonds created will have a lifelong effect toward acceptance.
“It’s so cool to see different nations come together, and the fans of those nations come together and just share the love of baseball because baseball is what brings people together,” said a baseball player.

Between climate-change calamities, coronavirus and ongoing gun violence like the case we saw in Bend last week, we are in a world where we confront crisis on the regular. Perhaps, in the before-times, before we faced down a global pandemic, it was more palatable to see our elected leaders misstep or remain absent when a community crisis cropped up. But with the many crises we've faced in the years since the advent of COVID-19, we've all become more attuned to what we need to hear from leadership and what it looks like when a community lacks leaders willing to stand up and quell our fears or share difficult and important moments.
We don't always think about it in "normal times," but during a crisis, the character of our community leaders is revealed. It is during these tough times that we fully appreciate the importance of character and a moral compass... and at its most basic, the value of clear communication.
At the beginning of a crisis, whether we like it or not, social media is bound to do its game of "telephone," spreading rumor and speculation like the fastest of wildfires. In the initial hours after the Aug. 28 shooting at Safeway, this was certainly the case. Social media chatter included talk of multiple shooters, of multiple locations of shootings, of conspiracies and casualties that greatly overstated the actual death toll in the grocery store that Sunday night. Living alongside the fear and uncertainty of social media on that night was a terrifying experience.
And that's where so many of us would have been left that night, were it not for swift action on the part of local leaders including Mayor Pro Tem Anthony Broadman and Police Chief Mike Krantz. Within several hours of the shootings, city leaders including the two named above were staging a press conference to share as many details as they could. Within about 12 hours, Broadman had crafted a statement and had it sent out to the public. Within about that same amount of time, county and city leaders had set up a location for trauma support.
We don't want to overstate the case and make it sound like seeing leaders do their jobs as expected is some modern marvel—but at the same time, it shouldn't be taken for granted.
A March 2020 article from the British Broadcasting Corporation outlined how important messaging can be during a crisis, citing the work of University of Leiden crisis management researcher Arjen Boin:
"Despite modern politics' well-known focus on press relations, Boin suspects that, in the heat of the moment, many leaders still don't appreciate just how important the messaging can be during times of crisis, particularly regarding consistency and openness. 'I think that leaders sometimes underestimate the effect of their own words, especially the [effects of] things they don't say as well as the things they do say,' he says."
Crisis management typically has two parts: The initial response, and then the "thinking and learning" phase, where people are tasked with analyzing what happened, how to prevent something similar in the future and how to do better next time. Between the rapid law enforcement response to the shooting and the rapid communications in the hours following, it appears local leaders made the grade on the first part.
If what we hope for in part two is to see gun violence decrease and to see people's mental health concerns identified and treated sooner, then we must look further outward than just the Bend City Council and local police, as big-ticket items like changing gun laws or expanding access to mental health care lie not necessarily in the lap of local politicians but in those at the state and federal level.
With that, then, you can imagine what we'll say next: An election is coming.
Now—not more than ever but on par with any time in the past—who we select as leaders at all levels—municipal, county, state and federal—does matter. We may not be able to measure character and moral compass with a simple endorsement interview, but it's the place where we begin to know our prospective leaders and to assess their readiness for the hard work ahead. As we move into the next two months and our many interviews with local political hopefuls, you can bet this will be on our minds. | 2022-09-07T23:46:11+00:00 | bendsource.com | https://www.bendsource.com/bend/crisis-shows-us-who-our-leaders-are/Content?oid=17646918 |
SAN JUAN – A hurricane watch was issued for St. Lucia as Tropical Storm Bret barreled toward the eastern Caribbean Thursday at near-hurricane strength.
The storm was located about 170 miles (265 kilometers) east of Barbados on Thursday morning and was moving west at 15 mph (24 kph). It had maximum sustained winds of 70 mph (110 kph), just below the 74 mph (119 kph) winds of a Category 1 hurricane.
Airports, businesses, schools and offices were closing in St. Lucia and Dominica as forecasters warned of torrential downpours, landslides and flooding.
“Protect your lives, property and livelihoods,” urged St. Lucia Prime Minister Philip Pierre.
A tropical storm warning was in effect for Dominica, St. Lucia and Martinique, while a tropical storm watch was issued for Barbados and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The storm was expected to start affecting islands in the eastern Caribbean late Thursday, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
Andre Joyeux, director of St. Lucia’s Meteorological Services, said Bret is expected to cut directly through the island.
“So we are hoping that persons take heed,” he said.
Up to 10 inches (3 centimeters) of rain forecast for the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe south to St. Vincent and the Grenadines, including Barbados, the hurricane center said. Waves of up to 13 feet (4 meters) also were forecast for Guadeloupe, according to local meteorologists.
Bret is expected to lose strength once it enters the eastern Caribbean Sea, and it is forecast to dissipate by Saturday.
However, the Caribbean is closely watching a tropical depression that is trailing Bret and has a 90% chance of formation. Early forecasts expect it to become Tropical Storm Cindy on Thursday and take a path northeast of the Caribbean through open waters.
If the depression strengthens into a storm, it would be the first time since record-keeping began that two storms form in the tropical Atlantic in June, according to meteorologist Philip Klotzbach at Colorado State University.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has forecast 12 to 17 named storms for this year’s hurricane season. It said between five and nine of those storms could become hurricanes, including up to four major hurricanes of Category 3 or higher. | 2023-06-22T12:05:18+00:00 | local10.com | https://www.local10.com/news/world/2023/06/22/tropical-storm-bret-barrels-toward-eastern-caribbean-at-near-hurricane-strength/ |
Actress Carrie Fisher will be posthumously honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The ceremony will take place on May 4th, also known as Star Wars Day.
Fisher, who passed away in December 2016 at the age of 60, will be recognized with the 2,754th star. The star will be unveiled near the El Capitan Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard.
Fisher gained fame as Princess Leia in the original “Star Wars” trilogy and went on to have a successful career as an actress, writer, and memoirist. She also wrote the screenplay for the Oscar-nominated film “Postcards from the Edge” and performed a one-woman stage version of her memoir “Wishful Drinking” on Broadway, which was later filmed for HBO and received an Emmy nomination.
“Fans will be over the moon to know that their favorite movie princess, Carrie Fisher, will be honored with her star on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame!” said Ana Martinez, Producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “Carrie will join her ‘Star Wars’ co-stars and fellow Walk of Famers Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford on this historic sidewalk.”
Fisher’s star will be located just a few feet away from Mark Hamill’s star and across the street from the star of her mother, Debbie Reynolds. The Hollywood Walk of Fame has been a major attraction for millions of people around the world since it was established in 1960.

WASHINGTON — Starbucks is denying union organizers’ claims that it is banning Pride displays in its U.S. stores in the wake of Target and other brands experiencing a backlash.
But Starbucks Workers United, the union organizing U.S. Starbucks stores, says store managers around the country have been curtailing or removing displays during a monthlong celebration of LGBTQ+ people. In some cases, the union said, managers told workers that Pride displays were a safety concern, citing recent incidents at Target where some angry customers tipped over merchandise and confronted workers.
“There has been no change to any policy on this matter and we continue to encourage our store leaders to celebrate with their communities, including for U.S. Pride month in June,” the Seattle coffee giant said Tuesday in a statement.
Starbucks has been outspoken in its support for LGBTQ+ employees for decades and said Tuesday that support is "unwavering." It extended full health benefits to same-sex partners in 1988 and added health coverage for gender reassignment surgery in 2013.
The company is also currently selling Pride-themed tumblers in its stores designed by Toronto artist Tim Singleton, who is gay.
But Ian Miller, a union organizer and Starbucks supervisor in Olney, Maryland, said the company’s tone has changed this year, citing his own store manager informing him that he needed prior approval to put up Pride decorations and that the company was seeking more “uniformity” in its stores.
The manager also allegedly cited the backlash against Bud Light when it partnered with a transgender influencer and then tried to walk back its support. Its U.S. sales subsequently plummeted.
Miller said the manager ultimately let an employee put up small rainbow flags in the store, but the company credit card wasn’t used to buy them, as had been allowed in the past.
“It’s disrespectful and counterintuitive," Miller said.
Miller's manager declined to comment Tuesday when contacted by The Associated Press. Starbucks didn't respond to questions about the policies at Miller's store.
Miller's store is one of more than 300 Starbucks stores that has voted to unionize since 2021. Starbucks opposes the unionization effort. | 2023-06-14T02:17:47+00:00 | wfmynews2.com | https://www.wfmynews2.com/article/news/nation-world/starbucks-pride-displays-ban-union-organizers-skeptical/507-9865e984-a435-4d1b-bf55-7eabfdfe31e9 |
GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Grand Rapids police are holding a community meeting June 6 around the proposed purchase of drones.
The Grand Rapids Police Department is proposing to buy six drones at a cost of $100,000, with additional costs for video storage and training. Usage of drones by police departments isn’t new to West Michigan, with other departments in Holland and Walker as well as the Kent County Sheriff’s Office already using them.
The meeting Tuesday, June 6, will take place from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at LifeQuest Church, 1050 Fisk Road SE. It will be livestreamed on the cty of Grand Rapids’ on Facebook and YouTube channels.
Police Chief Eric Winstrom and Office of Oversight and Public Accountability (OPA) Director Brandon Davis will give brief presentations before taking questions from the audience and online via Facebook comments.
Questions can also be submitted in advance by emailing GRPDinfo@grcity.us.
The presentations will go over the role of OPA in oversight of the proposed police drone program and how GRPD intends to protect privacy, ensure proper use of the equipment and use this technology to help support public safety.
“We wanted to go above and beyond the administrative outreach requirements to be clear with the community about the ways we plan to use—and not use—drone technology in support of public safety,” Winstrom said.
The city’s revamped policy on acquiring and using surveillance technology only requires a public hearing be held, which one was on April 25, prior to a purchase request of the technology. The chief and other GRPD members have participated in a number of neighborhood association and community meetings on the proposal, police officials said.
In a letter submitted and read to the Grand Rapids City Commission on May 16, officials with the West Grand Neighborhood Organization called for a pause on purchasing the drones. The neighborhood organization said they support the department’s proposed use of drones but want to ensure there is more public engagement and a good policy in place that provides accountability and transparency.

Winstrom has said he envisions officers using drones in a reactive capacity to incidents.
The situations in which a drone might be used include dangerous and reckless driving, river drowning and rescue, apprehension of a fleeing felon, accident scene reconstruction, crime scene documentation, missing persons search, civil unrest and large gatherings “where an aerial view is necessary to ensure safety and minimize the number of officers involved on the street,” Winstrom wrote to commissioners in an April 11 memo.
City Manager Mark Washington has said drones could also be used to monitor protests that aren’t permitted and are potentially interfering with roadways.
Any subsequent changes to the department’s drone use policy following a potential purchase sign-off by commissioners would require additional approval by city leaders, the chief previously said.
The variety of uses, police officials previously said, would result in departmental efficiency, augmentation of limited staffing and increased officer and public safety. Thermal cameras equipped to drones would aid in finding hiding suspects and missing persons.
While there are concerns around overcollection of data and privacy issues associated with drones, Winstrom has said those issues would be mitigated by training, policy, accountability and the additional layer of having the city’s Office of Oversight and Public Accountability audit the program.

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — Frozen human embryos can legally be considered property, or “chattel,” a Virginia judge has ruled, basing his decision in part on a 19th century law governing the treatment of slaves.
The preliminary opinion by Fairfax County Circuit Court Judge Richard Gardiner – delivered in a long-running dispute between a divorced husband and wife – is being criticized by some for wrongly and unnecessarily delving into a time in Virginia history when it was legally permissible to own human beings.
“It’s repulsive and it’s morally repugnant,” said Susan Crockin, a lawyer and scholar at Georgetown University’s Kennedy Institute of Ethics and an expert in reproductive technology law.
Solomon Ashby, president of the Old Dominion Bar Association, a professional organization made up primarily of African American lawyers, called Gardiner’s ruling troubling.
“I would like to think that the bench and the bar would be seeking more modern precedent,” he said.
Gardiner did not return a call to his chambers Wednesday. His decision, issued last month, is not final: He has not yet ruled on other arguments in the case involving Honeyhline and Jason Heidemann, a divorced couple fighting over two frozen embryos that remain in storage.
Honeyhline Heidemann, 45, wants to use the embryos. Jason Heidemann objects.
Initially, Gardiner sided with Jason Heidemann. The law at the heart of the case governs how to divide “goods and chattels.” The judge ruled that because embryos could not be bought or sold, they couldn’t be considered as such and therefore Honeyhline Heidemann had no recourse under that law to claim custody of them.
But after the ex-wife’s lawyer, Adam Kronfeld, asked the judge to reconsider, Gardiner conducted a deep dive into the history of the law. He found that before the Civil War, it also applied to slaves. The judge then researched old rulings that governed custody disputes involving slaves, and said he found parallels that forced him to reconsider whether the law should apply to embryos.
In a separate part of his opinion, Gardiner also said he erred when he initially concluded that human embryos cannot be sold.
“As there is no prohibition on the sale of human embryos, they may be valued and sold, and thus may be considered ‘goods or chattels,’” he wrote.
Crockin said she’s not aware of any other judge in the U.S. who has concluded that human embryos can be bought and sold. She said the trend, if anything, has been to recognize that embryos have to be treated in a more nuanced way than as mere property.
Ashby said he was baffled that Gardiner felt a need to delve into slavery to answer a question about embryos, even if Virginia case law is thin on how to handle embryo custody questions.
“Hopefully, the jurisprudence will advance in the commonwealth of Virginia such that … we will no longer see slave codes” cited to justify legal rulings, he said.
Neither of the Heidemanns’ lawyers ever raised the slavery issue. They did raise other arguments in support of their cases, however.
Jason Heidemann’s lawyers said allowing his ex-wife to implant the embryos they created when they were married “would force Mr. Heidemann to procreate against his wishes and therefore violate his constitutional right to procreational autonomy.”
Honeyhline Heidemann’s lawyer, Kronfeld, argued that Honeyhline’s right to the embryos outweighs her ex-husband’s objections, partly because he would have no legal obligations to be their parent and partly because she has no other options to conceive biological children after undergoing cancer treatments that made her infertile.
Kronfeld also argued that the initial separation agreement the couple signed in 2018 already treated the embryos as property when they concurred — under a subheading titled “Division of Personal Property” — that the embryos would remain in cryogenic storage until a court ordered otherwise.
Gardiner has not yet ruled on the argument over Jason Heidemann’s procreational autonomy. | 2023-03-10T18:17:43+00:00 | texomashomepage.com | https://www.texomashomepage.com/news/national/virginia-slave-laws-inform-judges-ruling-on-frozen-embryos/ |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Clippers may be without All-Star Paul George to start the postseason.
The team said Wednesday that George has a sprained right knee and he will be reevaluated in two to three weeks.
The Clippers began the day in fifth place in the Western Conference with a 38-35 record. They end the regular season on April 9 at Phoenix, a team they could meet in the first round of the playoffs, which begin six days later.
Even if George recovers before the playoff opener, he’ll need time to get back in the swing after not seeing game action for a couple of weeks.
George got hurt after going down hard late in a 101-100 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night. His knee made contact with the Thunder’s Luguentz Dort, who was going for a rebound with 4:38 remaining.
George needed help to leave the court, appearing unable to put any weight on his right leg, and once inside the tunnel he was carried to the locker room. He later left the arena on a cart with his right leg extended.
“Appreciate y’all,” George tweeted Wednesday.
Losing George for any length of time would be a major blow to the Clippers. He is averaging 23.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.1 assists for a team that has championship aspirations.
The Clippers did not practice Wednesday.
Asked Tuesday night how the team would adjust without George, Kawhi Leonard said: “Next man up. We’ve got a group of guys that still want to win and like to play basketball, so we’ll see what happens.”
The 32-year-old George has been out for extended periods of time in his career because of major injuries.
He sprained his right elbow in December 2021. A couple of weeks later, the Clippers said he suffered a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow. He was out for three months and returned to play the final few weeks of the season.
George had twin surgeries in his right and left shoulders in spring 2019 while with Oklahoma City. A few months later, he was traded to the Clippers and missed the first 11 games of the 2019-20 season while recovering.
Leonard suffered a partial ACL tear in his right knee during the 2021 Western Conference semifinals and didn’t return. The Clippers recovered and advanced to the conference finals for the first time in franchise history before losing to Phoenix in six games.
Leonard missed all of the 2022 season while recovering from the ACL injury. Without him, the Clippers went 42-40 and lost in the play-in tournament.
He has been mostly healthy this season, although the team regularly gives Leonard games off to rest as part of his load management.
The Clippers already are without reserve Norman Powell, whose shoulder injury could keep him out at least until next week.

New details emerge about a vehicle at the scene of the grisly Idaho student stabbings
By Aya Elamroussi, CNN
Investigators in the killings of four University of Idaho students are searching for at least one person they believe was inside a white sedan seen near the crime scene around the time of the deaths last month, police said Wednesday.
A 2011-2013 Hyundai Elantra was spotted “in the immediate area” of the off-campus home where the students were stabbed to death in the early morning hours of November 13, Moscow Police said in a statement Wednesday.
Information about the vehicle came from the thousands of tips police have received in the case, which has appalled the small college town of Moscow, Idaho.
“Investigators believe the occupant(s) of this vehicle may have critical information to share regarding this case,” the police statement said, noting it had an unknown license plate.
The students — Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Kernodle’s boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, 20 — were killed just days before the school’s Thanksgiving break. They were all stabbed multiple times and were likely asleep when the attack began, a coroner has said.
Nearly a month after the quadruple homicide, authorities have not named a suspect or located a weapon, which they believe to be a knife.
Still, investigators maintain they have made progress but cannot share details as that could compromise the investigation.
“We’re continuously making progress,” Idaho State Police spokesperson Aaron Snell told CNN. “But this is a criminal investigation, and as we make progress, we can’t always provide that information.”
Investigators are working through more than 6,000 tips they have received over the course of the investigation so far. “We have quality information that we’re working on,” said Snell.
Victims’ belongings returned to families
On Wednesday, police began the process of returning some of the victims’ belongings to their families.
“It’s time for us to give those things back that really mean something to those families and hopefully to help with some of their healing,” Moscow Police Chief James Fry said Tuesday in a brief video statement.
“I’m a dad, I understand the meaning behind some of those things,” Fry said.
The items removed from the house where the four students were killed are “no longer needed for the investigation,” police said.
As they work to figure who killed the students, police have built a timeline of what they were doing in the hours leading up to their deaths and what happened before police were called.
All four had been out enjoying a typical weekend night — two were at a bar in downtown Moscow while the other two were at a fraternity house, investigators have said. They all returned to the home by 2 a.m.
Later in the morning, two surviving roommates “summoned friends to the residence because they believed one of the second floor victims had passed out and was not waking up,” police said in a release.
Just before noon, a person called 911 from the house using one of the surviving roommates’ phones.
Two of the victims were found by responding officers on the second floor and two others were on the third floor. There were no signs of sexual assault, police said. Authorities also did not see signs of forced entry or damage.
Detectives do not believe the surviving roommates were involved in the killings, police have said.

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).

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The thick plume of smoke rising up from the forested hillsides sent a tinge of panic through northern New Mexico. It was dry and and windy — just like last year.
It was April 2022 that a record-setting wildfire sparked by the federal government had ripped across more than 530 square miles (1,373 square kilometers), destroying hundreds of homes and livelihoods along the way.
And now, firefighters were racing again to catch a new blaze.
This one started Wednesday afternoon on private property near the burn scar left by last year's historic wildfire and had grown to an estimated 1,000 acres (405 hectares) by nightfall.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Nervous residents posted photos on social media showing the plume of smoke, as seen from their front porches. Others choked back tears as they left the area in their vehicles, capturing photos and videos of trees along the roadside and homes in the distance engulfed in fire.
Many questioned how there was anything left to burn.
Crews on Thursday worked to keep the flames from reaching more homes while many of the 400 or so residents who had scattered throughout the area remained evacuated. Children were excused from school, roads in the area remained closed and neighboring communities opened temporary shelters.
“State, local and federal resources are responding and fire managers have implemented a full suppression strategy,” George Ducker, a spokesperson with the State Forestry Division, said in an update issued Thursday.
Forecasters called for another round of wind and red flag conditions through the evening.
Two elite firefighting crews were getting help Thursday from other hand crews, bulldozers, engines and a helicopter. Officials said more resources that could mount an attack from the air were on order.
Ducker said emergency responders were on the ground assessing damage and trying to tally how many homes and other structures had burned.
While above-average snowpack in the higher elevations of the Rocky Mountain foothills have helped, forecasters say the region is still feeling the effects of a long-term drought — and that there were many pockets of unburned fuel left within the footprint of last year's Hermit's Peak-Calf Canyon Fire.
That fire — the largest in New Mexico's recorded history — started on national forest land when two prescribed burn operations went awry, fueled by relentless spring winds. Private landowners had far more acres burned, with the majority seeing moderate burn levels.
While wildfires are a necessary part of many forest ecosystems, experts with the New Mexico Forest and Watershed Restoration Institute have said that the scale of damage from the 2022 fire will leave its mark on the area for decades.
It also has left an emotional mark on residents whose families have ties to this landscape going back generations. Many were praying Thursday that the flames could be corralled soon.
Nationally, the fire season is off to a slower start, with about one-third the number of acres burning compared to this same time last year, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. | 2023-05-11T20:12:13+00:00 | lmtonline.com | https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/new-mexico-wildfire-reignites-residents-fears-18094461.php |

Girls: No. 1. Westlake; No. 7 Rocky River; No. 10 Hudson; No. 11 Strongsville; No. 16 Revere; No. 19 Brunswick. Also, Avon Lake, Beaumont, Beavercreek, Brunswick, Canfield, Chagrin Falls, Cleveland Heights, Copley, Euclid, Hoban, Lakewood, Mount Gilead, Nordonia, Olmsted Falls, Perrysburg, Solon.
Boys: No. 2 Solon; No. 3 Chardon; No. 11 St. Ignatius; No. 14 Nordonia; No. 17 Twinsburg; No. 18 Hudson. Also, Amherst, Beavercreek, Brunswick, Canfield, Chagrin Falls, Cleveland Heights, Copley, Lakewood, Mount Gilead, Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin, Olmsted Falls, Perrysburg, University School, Walsh Jesuit, Westlake.
INDIVIDUALS TO WATCH
Individuals are listed alphabetically
Girls: Brianna Chaves, Rocky River; Katie Clute, Olmsted Falls; Megan Diulus, Revere; Teodora Iovi, Brunswick; Ellie Irwin, Westlake; Julia Isham, Strongsville; Sarah Peer, Westlake.
Boys: Luka Bork, Lakewood; Luke Bowlsby, Amherst; John Corrigan, St. Ignatius; James Howell, Solon; Colin Levan, Hudson; Ty Perez, Amherst; Colin Snider, Chardon; Chris Turner, Nordonia; Dylan Wood, Copley.
What to look for: In the girls field, this is about as good as it gets for a regular season invitational meet. Clute and Peer are the top two returners from last year’s state meet, where they placed second and third, respectively. They placed 1-2 in the OHSAA Early Season meet, and both are undefeated since then and have yet to be pushed. The friendly rivals both love to run from the front, which sets up an interesting dynamic. Peer has the superior closing speed, but Clute usually runs it out of her with aggressive pacing. This race could be a precursor to the postseason, when the two are likely to face off on three consecutive weekends. Isham has looked strong so far this season and could be a factor as well, especially on her home course in front of her home crowd. The girls team race could be as intriguing as the individual race, as defending state champion Perrysburg is ranked third in this week’s state coaches poll, and Westlake is ranked fifth. Beavercreek is strong as well. The Beavers were fourth in the state last year, they won state titles in 2018 and 2019, and they are currently ranked 12th. If healthy and at full strength, this is a great opportunity for Westlake to make a statement to the rest of Ohio.
The boys field isn’t nearly as strong, although five of the entrants — Beavercreek, Chardon, Perrysburg, Solon and St. Ignatius — each received points in this week’s state poll. Solon and Chardon have traded off beating each other, although the teams weren’t always at full strength when doing so. The Comets have a frontrunner in Howell, while the Hilltoppers rely on their tight pack and quality depth. Any one of the five entrants who are mentioned in the state poll could win this one, depending on who is running at full strength and who is resting someone or dealing with injuries. A wild card among the boys teams is Mount Gilead, which is ranked No. 2 in the state in Division III. Can a really good Division III team keep up with the big boys? Wood, Bork, Turner and Howell should be among those battling for the top spot.

INDIVIDUALS TO WATCH
Individuals are listed alphabetically
Girls: Marissa Boone, Woodridge; Annabel Coxon, Shaker Heights; Savannah Dennison, Mentor; Audrey Graham, Buckeye; Mari Pizem, Brecksville; Reese Reaman, Woodridge; Kelsey Sheridan, Highland; Alyssa Stoner, Cloverleaf; Amy Weybrecht, Gilmour.
Boys: Billy Dennison, Mentor; Elijah Hadler, Highland; Noah Johnson, Hoover; Ben Myers, Fairview; Spiro Papas, Green; Theo Papas, Green; Angelo Parrino, Shaker Heights; Michael Petrovic, Mentor; Seth Singer, Woodridge; Tommy Rice, GlenOak; Tesfaye Young, GlenOak.
What to look for: Medina will have competitors in this meet, but the top runners are traveling to Indiana to compete in a meet at Culver Academies. But both programs are strong enough and deep enough that they still will be near the top in this one. In fact, the boys finished second at Seneca East while holding out most of their top runners. Mentor is probably the favorite in the boys race, but Woodridge loves to take down bigger schools and this meet provides a great opportunity. Highland and Green are both very strong up front but need the back end to move up. Rice, the state champion at 3,200 meters last spring, was held out last week at Massillon Jackson — Young was the winner instead — but if he’s competing, he is the clear favorite.
Among the girls, both Shaker Heights and Mentor have shown great improvement recently. The Cardinals have Dennison up front, and she appears to be the favorite to cross the line first. Shaker has a pack that is getting tighter and tighter as the season progresses. The other ranked teams probably aren’t strong enough to keep up with those two, but it certainly makes for a quality meet overall.
JB FIRESTONE INVITATIONAL
Where: Black River High School, 233 County Road 40, Sullivan.

Who: Benedictine, Black River, Brookside, Clearview, Columbia, Jeromesville Hillsdale, Lake Ridge, Oberlin, Open Door, Plymouth, Rittman, Smithville, St. Joseph Academy, Wellington.
What to look for: This is a small-school meet — St. Joseph Academy is Division I but is resting its top runners — but there should be several outstanding runners in the field. At the top of the list is Hillsdale’s Kaleb Nastari, who last spring became the first Division III runner to break 1:50 in the 800 meters. Also, Rittman has an impressive freshman named Luke Snyder who already has won multiple invitational titles. In addition, Open Door has returning All-Ohioan Michael Couture, and Wellington sophomore Joe Fox finished just a few seconds behind Couture in a recent meet. Among the girls, Rittman has sisters Pyper and Merrick Gibson, who appear to be the class of the field. As for the team races, the host boys team, led by Wyatt Royster, should take the title, while Rittman should top the girls, although SJA has a lot of depth that could break up Rittman’s scoring five.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Nashville music executive Jerry Bradley, who signed Alabama and Ronnie Milsap and helped brand the outlaws style of country music during a 40-year career, died Monday. He was 83.
Bradley died peacefully in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, according to an obituary released by his family.
Bradley began his career in the 1960s, working in his family’s music publishing business alongside his famous producer father, Owen Bradley. As an engineer, his clients included Loretta Lynn, Dinah Shore, Gordon Lightfoot and The Who, according to the obituary.
Bradley struck out on his own in 1970, joining RCA Records under Chet Atkins before taking over as head of the label’s Nashville branch from 1973-1983. That is where he signed Alabama and Milsap. He helped market the outlaws of country music in a platinum-selling album called “Wanted: The Outlaws.” Under his leadership, the careers of Dolly Parton and Charley Pride flourished.
After leaving RCA, Bradley ran the Opryland Music Group, whose song catalogs included the classics of Hank Williams, Roy Orbison and the Everly Brothers. But Bradley wanted more and acquired new staff, song pluggers, and songwriters, including Kenny Chesney, according to the obituary. Bradley retired in 2003 after the company was acquired by Sony/ATV Music.
Chesney said in a statement that Bradley “had a profound and unmeasurable impact on my life. But not just in my life. … He helped change the lives of so many people that had a song in their heart. Jerry’s impact on our creative community will be felt for years.”
Bradley was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2019. | 2023-07-18T18:15:48+00:00 | ourquadcities.com | https://www.ourquadcities.com/entertainment-news/ap-influential-nashville-music-producer-jerry-bradley-who-signed-alabama-and-ronnie-milsap-has-died/ |
16-day-old infant left inside hot vehicle in Slidell Walmart parking lot, police say
SLIDELL, La. (WVUE) - Slidell police officers saved the life of a 16-day-old infant who was left inside a hot car in a Walmart parking lot Thursday (July 7) morning.
According to Slidell Police, around 10 a.m., officers received a call about a woman who was visibly impaired with her infant child in the parking lot of a Walmart store on Northshore Boulevard.
When officers arrived, they were unable to locate the woman, who was later identified as 37-year-old Ashley Kennedy of Minden. Witnesses told officers that she left in a grey Honda Odyssey minivan.
About an hour later, a Walmart employee alerted Slidell Police that Kennedy was back shopping inside the Walmart without her child.
When officers returned, they found Kennedy highly intoxicated inside the store and her 16-day-old infant inside of the Honda minivan covered in a blanket.
Officers forced their way into the vehicle and discovered the vehicle to be extremely hot with the air conditioner blowing hot air. The lethargic infant was taken to a nearby hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.

Police say Kennedy was also involved in a hit-and-run earlier that day. She was arrested and booked into Slidell City Jail with cruelty to juveniles, third offense DWI with child endangerment, hit-and-run, and improper child restraint. Kennedy will later be transferred to the St. Tammany Parish Jail.
“If it was not for the alert Walmart employee and the quick actions of our officers, this incident would have resulted in the death of this young two-week-old. As terrible of a situation this was, it could have been a lot worse. So many things could have gone differently today, and we thank God for such a positive outcome,” said Slidell Police Chief Randy Fandal.
The Louisiana Department of Children & Family Services was contacted, and the child has been placed in their custody.

Across the North America flexible office market, meeting room booking demand was up 27 percent between 2021 and 2022, flex contract lengths have increased by 40 percent and average occupier size has increased by 19 percent (2023 vs. pre-pandemic)
NEW YORK, June 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A flexible workspace supply/demand imbalance has created pinch points for cities across North America, according to The Instant Group's new report, "Beyond The Traditional Office: Trends and Insights in North America's Flexible Workspace Market." For example, in cities where demand for flex has been slower to recover but where new supply is cropping up, this imbalance is creating favorable markets for occupiers.
To access the report, please click here.
Such cities include Denver, Atlanta, and Dallas, and all currently present an opportunity to acquire flex space at a competitive price:
- In Denver, demand dropped 8 percent, but supply grew 3 percent. This oversupply caused rates to drop five percent.
- Atlanta demand increased 7 percent and supply increased 11 percent. The market's rate drop of one percent is due supply exceeding demand.
- In Dallas, demand dropped 3 percent while supply grew 5 percent. Accordingly, rates are down three percent.
In the Canadian markets analyzed, demand is far outstripping supply. In Mexico City, supply is keeping pace with high demand growth.
- In Toronto, demand is up 46 percent while supply is up seven percent. Rates increased one percent.
- In Vancouver, demand is up 95 percent while supply growth is up four percent, and rates increased two percent.
- In Montreal, demand is up 67 percent, while supply is up three percent. Rates increased five percent.
- In Mexico City, demand is up 241 percent, while supply is up 11 percent. Rates increased 11 percent as well.
All demand and supply data compares the last pre-pandemic year 2019 to 2022, and rate data compares January-April 2023 against 2022.
Demand for meeting room bookings is up 27 percent between 2021 and 2022 as collaboration becomes the main goal of the office and workspaces. Average contract lengths in the flexible workspace sector have increased by 40 percent in 2023 compared to pre-pandemic, while average occupier size has increased 19 percent over the same period.
"Meeting room and occupier size data supports what we also see anecdotally through our work, that occupiers are evolving their use of flexible space to be more strategic in providing different options to their employees aligned to how they need to use space – focus time, collaboration spaces, and project team space in various geographies," said Emily Watkins, Chief Client Officer, Americas, The Instant Group.
Across North America, demand for flexible offices dipped one percent in Q1 2023 over Q4 2022 after the surge in demand throughout 2022 which saw demand levels 57 percent above those seen pre-pandemic (2019).
CITY BY CITY TRENDS AND RATES
New York City
New York City is the most expensive city in North America for flexible workspace with an average desk rate of $898 per month. Although traditional office recovery has been slow in the city, demand for flex space remained above pre-pandemic levels for the fourth quarter in Q1 2023, up 11 percent from Q4 2022, a quarter that dipped slightly below pre-pandemic levels.
New York City is also experiencing a shift in occupier profile, with average term lengths up 33 percent in 2023 compared to 2019, whereas traditional offices are seeing term lengths decline. Average occupier size for flexible workspace in NYC is up 14 percent over the same period. In 2023 to date, a quarter of all flex clients are occupying spaces of 25+ desks.
"Despite some troubling headlines in the traditional office space sector in New York City, we are actually seeing strength in the New York City flex market, as corporate occupiers get on board with flexible workspaces to increase agility within their real estate portfolios," said Michael Calistri, director – solutions development, The Instant Group.

BEIJING (AP) — The head of China’s national soccer federation has been arrested on corruption charges in the latest blow to the country’s effort to grow its standing at home and internationally.
A one-sentence statement from the ruling Communist Party’s anti-graft watchdog body said Chen Shuyuan had been placed under investigation by national and Hubei provincial sports bodies. No details were given about the accusations against him.
Chen is head of the Chinese Football Association and vice chair of its party committee, underscoring the government’s heavy hand in attempting to direct success in the game.
Despite its success in the Olympics, China has only qualified for one World Cup almost 20 years ago.
China’s president and Communist Party leader Xi Jinping declared a goal to make the country a football superpower, but funding and enthusiasm have appeared to dwindle.
The national team has seen a revolving door of foreign and domestic managers and one if its most decorated past leaders, former Everton and Sheffield United midfielder Li Tie, has been jailed amid a graft investigation.
China’s top division clubs paid eye-watering salaries to attract foreign talent, but the league has virtually collapsed under the now-abandoned “zero-COVID” policy and lingering economic malaise. | 2023-02-15T09:54:10+00:00 | wivb.com | https://www.wivb.com/news/ap-china-national-soccer-boss-arrested-on-corruption-charges/ |
Findings highlight need for an innovative approach to address some of the disconnects between patients and their healthcare professionals impacting the dialogue on reproductive healthcare
ROSWELL, Ga., May 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Sebela Women's Health Inc., a part of Sebela Pharmaceuticals, today announced results of a large-scale, parallel-track national survey of women and healthcare professionals (HCPs) conducted by HealthyWomen, the nation's leading independent nonprofit health resource for women. The survey was designed to assess current knowledge and understanding of birth control usage, affordability and beliefs in the United States at a time when women's healthcare choices are being limited or revoked. The survey identified discrepancies in healthcare professional perceptions of their patients' preferences about birth control and factors that influence selection. The survey also sought to explore possible reasons why, despite increased availability of birth control options for women over the past two decades, 45% of pregnancies in the U.S. remain unplanned.1
The parallel-track survey consisted of more than 5,000 women aged 18-55 (n=5,052) and 506 HCPs (OB/GYNs, NPs/PAs and FPs). Survey respondents were recruited through a proprietary market panel and the patient survey was balanced to U.S. census for race and ethnicity. The survey was developed with help and input from an expert panel including Sharon D. Allison-Ottey, M.D., Paula M. Castaño, M.D, MPH, and Donnica Moore, M.D.
Findings of the survey showed that of those individuals who are concerned with unwanted pregnancy [51% of respondents], 40% were not on birth control and 35% did not trust their birth control. Further, less than half of respondents said they discussed contraceptives with their HCP at their annual exam, while 74% of HCPs reported discussing birth control with their patients.
"We have to encourage better conversation between women of reproductive age and their healthcare professionals to ensure that women are being informed of their birth control options," said Beth Battaglino, RN-C, CEO of HealthyWomen.
"The survey calls for us to re-visit — and perhaps even re-invent — patient-HCP interactions to ensure contraceptive solutions are tailored to meet each individual's needs; further, we must continue to call for development of even more innovative contraception options that meet the quickly changing needs of individuals of childbearing age," continued Battaglino.
The survey was conducted in the fall of 2022, just months after the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade; therefore, questions were included to assess the impact to patient care. Based upon the ruling, 21% of patients indicated they changed or planned to change their contraceptive method, and 27% of HCPs indicated they changed the way they counsel their patients about contraceptives.
Other findings from the survey include:
- Of the patients surveyed, 60% reported they prefer hormone-free birth control, and while 64% of HCPs believe their patients prefer hormone-free birth control, most (59%) recommend hormonal methods.
- Effectiveness was the most important factor in choosing a contraceptive for 91% of patients surveyed; however, only 26% were aware that intrauterine devices (IUDs) are more effective than widely used oral contraceptives and condoms. Other important factors when choosing a contraceptive included ease of use, comfort, side effects and cost.
- While nearly half of women prefer to have a regular menstrual cycle or period (49%), only 37% desire no period. Those who prefer a period do so because "having a regular period makes me feel like my body is doing what it should be doing" (78%) and regular periods also provide a "peace of mind that I'm probably not pregnant (51%)."
"Sebela would like to thank HealthyWomen for conducting this timely survey, further supporting their leadership position when it comes to trusted resources for women's health," said Kelly Culwell, MD, Head of Research and Development, Sebela Women's Health Inc. "The survey reinforces our belief that we need to continue to provide women with innovative and effective hormone-free contraceptive options to meet their preferences and find ways to improve the dialogue between patients and their healthcare providers when it comes to birth control."

Excessive heat that blanketed North Dakota last weekend sent temperatures into the triple digits in some areas including Bismarck, breaking records across the state and setting the stage for severe storms.
A northward bulge in the jet stream kept the extreme heat over much of the Plains on Saturday and Sunday, creating what AccuWeather Meteorologist Mary Gilbert called a "heat dome." Temperatures in the Upper Midwest were 15-25 degrees above normal, she reported.
High temperature records for June 19 fell or were tied from west to east in North Dakota on Sunday, according to the National Weather Service. They included:
- Bismarck, 100 degrees, breaking 1933 record of 97.
- Fargo, 101, tying record set in 1933.
- Grand Forks, 100, beating 1995 record of 95.
- Minot, 97, beating 1911 record of 96.
- Jamestown, 97, tying record set in 1933.

Jamestown and Dickinson on Saturday had record-high minimum temperatures. The mercury didn't drop below 65 degrees in Dickinson and below 71 degrees in Jamestown. The previous records were 64 degrees in Dickinson in 1988 and 69 degrees in Jamestown in 2005.
The heat also brought with it moist air from the Gulf of Mexico, increasing the humidity level and making it feel even hotter -- a measurement known as heat index.
The normal high and low for Bismarck this time of year is 79 and 54 degrees. Cooler air moving in from the north will bring more seasonal temperatures to the region early this week, according to James Telken, a weather service meteorologist in Bismarck.
The start of the workweek has been a stormy one in many areas, however.
"The heat with all the moisture in it was kind of a primer for instability" in the atmosphere, Telken said.
An early Monday storm that ripped through Bismarck-Mandan dropped penny-size hail and as much as 1.5 inches of rain in Bismarck and 1.73 inches in the Mandan area, according to weather service reports. Reported wind gusts reached 75 mph.
There were reports of downed trees and tree limbs throughout the metro area, as well as flash flooding in Mandan bad enough to pop off manhole covers, Telken said.
Electricity needs
Hot weather has hit much of the country in the past week and will continue in many areas this week, giving air conditioning equipment a workout.
"Energy demands will be exceptionally high this upcoming week across portions of the Plains and Midwest, stressing area power grids and putting an additional pinch on residents’ checkbooks," AccuWeather Meteorologist Brandon Buckingham said.
The Midwest Independent System Operator, which manages one of the two power grids in North Dakota, recently issued an advisory saying rolling blackouts are possible this summer because of predicted heat and the need to manage electricity demand.
North Dakota Public Service Commission Chair Julie Fedorchak told Prairie Public that she doesn't think the state will be affected, however.
"MISO's general manager told me, 'Just because where you're situated, shedding load isn't going to help with where things are tight,'" Fedorchak said. "And North Dakota has so much dispatchable generation, we're not going to be short."
"Dispatchable generation" refers to power sources that can be ramped up on demand to supply more power.
"We'll be generating the power everybody else needs," Fedorchak said.

Did you lose money on investments in Arqit Quantum? If so, please visit Arqit Quantum Inc. Shareholder Class Action Lawsuit or contact Peter Allocco at (212) 951-2030 or pallocco@bernlieb.com to discuss your rights.
NEW YORK, June 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationally acclaimed investor rights law firm, reminds investors of the deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in a securities class action lawsuit that has been filed on behalf of investors who (i) purchased or acquired the securities of Arqit Quantum Inc. ("Arqit" or the "Company") (ARQQ, ARQQW), f/k/a Centricus Acquisition Corp. ("Centricus") (CENH, CENHU, CENHW) between September 7, 2021 and April 18, 2022, inclusive (the "Class Period"); and/or (ii) held Centricus securities as of the record date for the special meeting of shareholders held on August 31, 2021 to consider approval of the merger between Arqit and Centricus (the "Merger"). The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York and alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Arqit is a cybersecurity company that has pioneered a unique quantum encryption technology. Arqit claimed its quantum encryption technology would be secure against current and future forms of cyberattacks, including from a quantum computer.
On May 28, 2021, Arqit filed with the SEC a Form F-4 Merger Proposal Registration (the "Proxy Statement") for the Merger. Then, on July 30, 2021, Arqit filed with the SEC a prospectus (the "Prospectus") for the Merger, which forms part of the Proxy Statement.
According to the Complaint, the Proxy Statement contained a Risk Factors section which failed to discuss the risks to Arqit surrounding the adoption of new communications technologies necessary for Arqit's encryption technology; namely, that Arqit needed certain new protocols and standards for telecommunications, cloud computing, and internet services that currently were not supported.
Plaintiff also alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made misleading statements about Arqit's business because: (1) Arqit's proposed encryption technology would require widespread adoption of new protocols and standards of for telecommunications; (2) British cybersecurity officials questioned the viability of Arqit's proposed encryption technology in a meeting in 2020; (3) the British government was not an Arqit customer but, rather, providing grants to Arqit; and (4) Arqit had little more than an early-stage prototype of its encryption system at the time of the Merger.
On April 18, 2022, The Wall Street Journal (the "WSJ") published an article entitled, "British Encryption Startup Arqit Overstates Its Prospects, Former Staff and Others Say." The WSJ article stated, in part: "When the company secured its Nasdaq listing last autumn, its revenue consisted of a handful of government grants and small research contracts, and its signature product was an early-stage prototype unable to encrypt anything in practical use, according to [former employees and other people familiar with the company]." Further, "[t]he encryption technology the company hinges on—a system to protect against next-generation quantum computers—might never apply beyond niche uses, numerous people inside and outside the company warned, unless there were a major overhaul of internet protocols." On this news, the price of Arqit stock price declined over 17% to close at $12.49 per share on April 18, 2022.
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 5, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as lead plaintiff. If you choose to take no action, you may remain an absent class member.
If you purchased or held the securities of Arqit Quantum Inc. (f/k/a Centricus Acquisition Corp.) as discussed above, and/or would like to discuss your legal rights and options please visit Arqit Quantum Inc. Shareholder Class Action Lawsuit or contact Peter Allocco at (212) 951-2030 or pallocco@bernlieb.com.

‘They were all planted by Bob’: Man honored for planting forest-worth of trees
DEMING, Wash. (KING) - A 93-year-old man in Washington state is being honored for planting thousands of trees.
Bob Barker has no problem seeing the trees and the forest. It turns out, he’s pretty good at growing things.
“It took about 25 years,” he said.
Barker started his career as a logger.
“That was when I was in the tree-cutting down business,” he said.
Now he’s responsible for the creation of an entire forest.
“It was a very rewarding thing to do,” he said.
Barker bought this land in the ‘90s to plant and harvest trees. But in that first year, he lost nearly 4,000 saplings to voles.
“The voles had enjoyed this new element in their diet,” Barker said.
Barker then learned about a federal program that pays people to conserve land and preserve plant life.
After taking care of his vole problem, Barker started planting again.
He estimated he and his trusty spade planted 50 trees an hour.
“They were all planted by Bob,” his son-in-law Dave Tempero said.
Over the course of the next 25 years, he planted 30,000 trees, most of them by himself, over 71 acres of land.
“To come out in the morning and plant a few hundred trees and then see them there,” he said. “And particularly come back the next year and see them enjoying their existence on the property.”
The transformation from pasture to forest has brought this land alive.
The endangered Oregon spotted frog has now been seen in ponds and puddles, along with bobcats and families of cougars.
“What we’ve done here is not made it any worse for them,” he said. “And once you know they’re here you can do things to try to make it better for them.”
As they walk in his beloved forest, Tempero marvels at the living legacy Barker leaves for future generations.
“There’s a tremendous amount of work to plant the forest and have the trees grow,” he said.
Barker plans to keep the land in his family and hopes it will continue to be preserved.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Editor’s Note: On June 26, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples had the right to marry. The narrow, 5-4 decision did away with same-sex marriage bans in 14 states.
With the passage of the Respect for Marriage Act, which protects same-sex and interracial marriages, The Associated Press is republishing its 2015 story by reporter Mark Sherman on the Supreme Court’s same-sex ruling.
____
Same-sex couples won the right to marry nationwide Friday as a divided Supreme Court handed a crowning victory to the gay rights movement, setting off a jubilant cascade of long-delayed weddings in states where they had been forbidden.
“No longer may this liberty be denied,” said Justice Anthony Kennedy.
The vote was narrow – 5-4 – but Kennedy’s majority opinion was clear and firm: “The court now holds that same-sex couples may exercise the fundamental right to marry.”
The ruling will put an end to same-sex marriage bans in the 14 states that still maintain them, and provide an exclamation point for breathtaking changes in the nation’s social norms in recent years. As recently as last October, just over one-third of the states permitted gay marriages.
Kennedy’s reading of the ruling elicited tears in the courtroom, euphoria outside and the immediate issuance of marriage licenses to same-sex couples in at least eight states. In Dallas, Kenneth Denson said he and Gabriel Mendez had been legally married in 2013 in California but “we’re Texans; we want to get married in Texas.”
In praise of the decision, President Barack Obama called it “justice that arrives like a thunderbolt.”
Four of the court’s justices weren’t cheering. The dissenters accused their colleagues of usurping power that belongs to the states and to voters, and short-circuiting a national debate about same-sex marriage.
“This court is not a legislature. Whether same-sex marriage is a good idea should be of no concern to us,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in dissent. Roberts read a summary of his dissent from the bench, the first time he has done so in nearly 10 years as chief justice.
“If you are among the many Americans – of whatever sexual orientation – who favor expanding same-sex marriage, by all means celebrate today’s decision,” Roberts said. “But do not celebrate the Constitution. It had nothing to do with it.”
Justice Antonin Scalia said he was not concerned so much about same-sex marriage as “this court’s threat to American democracy.” He termed the decision a “judicial putsch.” Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas also dissented.
Several religious organizations criticized the decision.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops said it was “profoundly immoral and unjust for the government to declare that two people of the same sex can constitute a marriage.”
Kennedy said nothing in the court’s ruling would force religions to condone, much less perform, weddings to which they object. And he said the couples seeking the right to marry should not have to wait for the political branches of government to act.
The 14th Amendment to the Constitution requires states to allow same-sex couples to marry on the same basis as heterosexuals, he said
“The dynamic of our constitutional system is that individuals need not await legislative action before asserting a fundamental right. The nation’s courts are open to injured individuals who come to them to vindicate their own
direct, personal stake in our basic charter,” Kennedy wrote in his fourth major opinion in support of gay rights since 1996. It came on the anniversary of two of those earlier decisions.
“No union is more profound than marriage,” Kennedy wrote, joined by the court’s four more liberal justices.
The stories of the people asking for the right to marry “reveal that they seek not to denigrate marriage but rather to live their lives, or honor their spouses’ memory, joined by its bond,” Kennedy said.
As he read his opinion, spectators in the courtroom wiped away tears when the import of the decision became clear. One of those in the audience was James Obergefell, the lead plaintiff in the Supreme Court fight.
Outside, Obergefell held up a photo of his late spouse, John Arthur, and said the ruling establishes that “our love is equal.” He added, “This is for you, John.”
Obama placed a congratulatory phone call to Obergefell, which he took amid a throng of reporters outside the courthouse.
Speaking a few minutes later at the White House, Obama praised the decision as an affirmation of the principle that “all Americans are created equal.”
The crowd in front of the courthouse at the top of Capitol Hill grew in the minutes following the ruling. The Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., sang the “Star-Spangled Banner.” Motorists honked their horns in support as they passed by the crowd, which included a smattering of same-sex marriage opponents.
The ruling will not take effect immediately because the court gives the losing side roughly three weeks to ask for reconsideration. But county clerks in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Ohio, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee and Texas began issuing licenses to same-sex couples within hours of the decision.
The cases before the court involved laws from Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee that define marriage as the union of a man and a woman. Those states have not allowed same-sex couples to marry within their borders, and they also have refused to recognize valid marriages from elsewhere.
Just two years ago, the Supreme Court struck down part of the federal anti-gay marriage law that denied a range of government benefits to legally married same-sex couples.
Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor formed the majority with Kennedy on Friday, the same lineup as two years ago.
The earlier decision in United States v. Windsor did not address the validity of state marriage bans, but courts across the country, with few exceptions, said its logic compelled them to invalidate state laws that prohibited gay and lesbian couples from marrying.
There are an estimated 390,000 married same-sex couples in the United States, according to UCLA’s Williams
Institute, which tracks the demographics of gay and lesbian Americans. Another 70,000 couples living in states that do not currently permit them to wed would get married in the next three years, the institute says. Roughly 1 million same-sex couples, married and unmarried, live together in the United States, the institute says.
The Obama administration backed the right of same-sex couples to marry. The Justice Department’s decision to stop defending the federal anti-marriage law in 2011 was an important moment for gay rights, and Obama declared his support for same-sex marriage in 2012.
The states affected by Friday’s ruling are Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, most of Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee and Texas.

GLEN ROSE, Texas — Dinosaur tracks have been uncovered and restored in the Lone Star State.
During the extreme drought, the Puluxy River dried up inside the Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, revealing a long stretch of dinosaur tracks.
"It exposed over 60 tracks in this one singular trackway that this dinosaur left behind," Jeff Davis, park superintendent, said.
And you know how they say about everything being bigger in Texas? It's no exception for these tracks. Imagine a foot print the size of your dinner plate!
"One-hundred-ten million years to 113 million years ago when this was a shallow inland sea and they were just walking through sticky mud," Davis explained how they ended up at the riverbed. "It did a really good job of preserving their tracks."
Various types of dinosaur tracks have been found around the state park, but one is causing a big roar. Around 40 volunteers were preserving the prints from an Acrocanthosaurus (Acro) dinosaur; a dinosaur almost the size of a T-Rex!
But, how were these tracks uncovered?
"That river is kind of a double-edged sword," Davis said. "If there was no river, we never would have found tracks because that has cut down through the layers of silt and limestone and sediment to expose the tracks."
Also called the Lone Star or Lone Ranger track is said to be one of the longest in the world with the best preserved footprints from dinosaurs.
"The limestone is such a fine grain limestone that it left a lot of detail from the feet of the Acro that walked through there, so you can see things like the pads that were on their feet," Davis said. "Things that you don't expect to see on a dinosaur track that's that old ... 113 million years."
These tracks are more than dinosaur prints in the dirt. They tell a story, Davis said.
"It gives me this really deep sense of connection to the resources to the history to deep times," Davis said. "It's not some movie monster and not some creature from fantasy. It is an animal that walked through this area and it just seems really real to me."
The park did say with the recent rain, these tracks will likely be covered sooner rather than later. The park said it may be awhile before we see them like this again, so you may want to hurry to get a look for yourself.

New Mexico may curb paramilitaries near southern US border
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Legislators in New Mexico are advancing legislation to rein in paramilitary patrols that have popped up in recent years to halt migrants near the international border with Mexico and at a protest over a statue of a Spanish conquistador.
The bill places New Mexico among several states weighing changes this year to restrictions on paramilitary organizations.
Lawmakers in Oregon and Vermont also are considering initiatives aimed at limiting activities by private militarized groups. Legislators in Idaho are moving in the other direction by advancing a bill to repeal a state law banning private militias, despite criticism that the move could dangerously embolden existing paramilitary groups in the region. A narrow ban on municipal-run paramilitary groups would remain in place.
Democratic state Rep. Raymundo Lara of Sunland Park is cosponsoring the New Mexico initiative and says it gives district attorneys new tools and discretion by making it a crime for armed paramilitary organizations to engage in public patrols capable to causing injury or death with provisions regarding intimidation. The bill includes felony penalties including prison.
The bill emerged Monday from House committee vetting for a possible floor vote, with the backing of Democrats. Republican House legislators have raised concerns that the proposal could interfere with neighborhood-watch style groups that respond to crime or limit opportunities for businesses in New Mexico that have provided tactical training to visiting security forces.
Lara said the proposal doesn’t interfere with private firearms training or New Mexico’s relatively permissive gun laws that allow both open carry of firearms and concealed handguns with permit and training requirements.
“That’s going to be up to the district attorney, whether they do an investigation … (to) find out if they are connected in any way, if there’s some kind of command structure,” he said.
Lara said the proposal responds to incidents in 2019 in which armed members of the United Constitutional Patriots stopped migrants near the international border in southernmost New Mexico at Sunland Park, and in 2020 when men with long guns and tactical equipment showed up at a chaotic protest in Albuquerque about a statute of early Spanish settler Juan de Oñate, who is both revered and reviled.
The armed group in Albuquerque known as the New Mexico Civil Guard was recently barred by a state district court judge from publicly acting as a military unit without authorization.
James Grayson, a chief deputy state attorney general who previously worked on the case against the New Mexico Civil Guard, told legislators this week that prosecutors don’t have adequate tools to address militarized groups that can pose a danger to public protesters and authorized law enforcement.
The bill from Lara defines a paramilitary organization as a group of three or more people with a command structure aimed at functioning in public as a combat, enforcement or security unit.
Banned paramilitary activities also include interfering with government operations or a government proceeding and actions that deprive others of their rights. Paramilitary groups also would be prohibited from posturing deceptively as peace officers.
At Sunland Park, the United Constitutional Patriots were eventually pressured into leaving by local law enforcement amid accusations of trespassing on railroad property. One member of the group was convicted of impersonating a federal officer, while another was convicted on federal firearms charges.
Armed civilian groups have been an intermittent presence on the border for years, portraying themselves as auxiliaries to the U.S. Border Patrol and operating in areas where agents are not stationed.

MERCED, Calif. — The California man accused of kidnapping and killing an 8-month-old baby, her parents and uncle earlier this month pleaded not guilty Thursday.
Jesus Salgado allegedly kidnapped the family at gunpoint from their trucking business on Oct. 3. Authorities say Salgado, a former employee with a longstanding dispute, likely killed them within an hour.
Salgado, 48, entered his not-guilty plea Thursday morning, KFSN reported. He is scheduled to return to court next month. It was not immediately clear which attorney was representing him.
The victims' bodies were found two days after their kidnapping when a farm worker in an almond orchard in a remote area of the San Joaquin Valley, California’s agricultural heartland, discovered the remains of Aroohi Dheri; her 27-year-old mother Jasleen Kaur; her 36-year-old father Jasdeep Singh; and her 39-year-old uncle Amandeep Singh.
Salgado faces four counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances, which allege that the slayings took place during the commission of a kidnapping and were part of multiple killings in the same case. He is also charged with arson and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.
If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole. Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke has called for Salgado to face the death penalty. But District Attorney Kimberly Lewis on Monday said she would defer that decision to next year.
Salgado’s younger brother Alberto Salgado, 41, is in custody on suspicion of criminal conspiracy, accessory, and destroying evidence. Prosecutors have not yet filed charges in his case.

Keke Palmer is sharing some words of wisdom for “spiritual heads.”
The “Nope” star urged people to “protect those eyes” after sharing that she sunburned her retina while sun gazing. During a Wired video, where she answered “the web’s most searched questions” about her, Palmer was asked if she wears glasses.
“I wear glasses and now I’ve been walking around lately wearing two glasses,” she replied, before sharing her anecdote. “For all my spiritual heads out there that’s always looking for a different meditation vibe, don’t ever do the sun gazing, honey.”
“I did sun gazing in Joshua Tree and I done sunburned my retina playing around trying to be Gandhi and s---,” Palmer, 28, said.
Sun gazing is a meditative practice where one looks at and focuses on the sun, according to Medical News Today. However, medical professors note that the practice can cause permanent damage to the eye.
Van Gelder, a clinical spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmology, told previously told TODAY “the danger is real for permanent vision loss” for those staring directly at the sun without the proper protection.

Palmer now understands, as she continued in the video, “So be careful with that sun, the UVs and the global warming. You gotta protect those eyes because now I’m seeing double and stuff. My astigmatism is, like, going left. The doctor said he can’t even promise me it’ll heal. So I’ve just been praying, because d---.”
“So yeah, my eyes been bad since I was 8 and everybody in my family wears glasses. Hopefully I didn’t do too much to mess it up,” she added before concluding, “Pray for me.”
Elsewhere in the 14-minute video, the actor also what her real name was, how she got famous, who people tell her she looks like and who her best friend is.
“You gonna find some people I don’t rock with no more,” she blatantly said. “So careful with this one. It ain’t whoever you finding online, I’mma tell you that right now. So, scratch that.”

NEW YORK, March 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- LILYSILK, the world's leading silk brand with a mission to inspire people to live better, sustainable lives, is making life easy for silk fans around the world with a spring style guide inspired by stars who have been spotted wearing the globally popular brand.
Most recently, award-winning actor, Amanda Seyfried, was spotted wearing LILYSILK Wide-Legged Silk Fig Pants on set during filming. These high waist, wide leg, floaty and asymmetrical-bottom Palazzo pants make a fittingly dramatic statement that exudes style and quality. Amanda chose the 2022 Taffy colored pants which are now also available in Oxblood in the brand-new 2023 Spring Collection.
Another inspirational choice for spring wardrobes is LILYSILK's enormously popular best-selling SOS Shirt. Poised and professional when tucked in, the SOS Shirt can also be worn relaxed and untucked for an effortlessly undone aesthetic as Viola Davis perfectly demonstrated with her Navy Pinstripe version on the red carpet. For more inspiration, it's also worth checking check out the gorgeous Cindy Crawford's interpretation in Navy Blue while stepping out for dinner.
LILYSILK's Classic Freesia Silk Shirt Dress, a timeless piece which is a refreshingly feminine rendition of the classic menswear shirt, has also been seen on celebrities with Julianne Moore and Michelle Williams both choosing a version of this quintessential spring piece. A relaxed silhouette means this dress can be worn for brunch and business with the simple addition of a belted waist and heel.
To truly blossom, the LILYSILK Floral Collection has also proven to be a celebrity fav and the Vintage Lily print, with delicate lilies blossoming on classic chocolate and dark blue premium silk, displays effortless chic as Anne Hathaway showed with a LILYSILK Stunning Rectangular Silk Lily Scarf on her bag during the 75th Cannes Film Festival.
LILYSILK's X Mika Ninagawa Collection is a springtime celebration of silk and flowers that infuses art and imagination as Lupita Nyong'o spectacularly exemplified during an interview for her recent movie.
"In celebration of spring and our latest 2023 Spring Collection, we have prepared this star style guide for LILYSILK fans so they too can live spectacularly. Reflecting our goal of bringing LILYSILK fans the ultimate comfort in every passing season, the time has arrived to get rid of cold and thickness and embrace warmth and softness," said David Wang, CEO of LILYSILK.

The Rockefeller Foundation to Present Energy Transition and Access Solutions at CERAWeek 2023
Published: Mar. 6, 2023 at 1:46 PM CST|Updated: 3 hours ago
HOUSTON, March 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- This week, Dr. Rajiv J. Shah, President of The Rockefeller Foundation, Ashvin Dayal, Senior Vice President of Power & Climate, and Eileen O'Connor, Senior Vice President of Communications, Policy, and Advocacy, will travel to Houston, Texas, to join more than 900 global leaders at CERAWeek by S&P Global 2023. During the conference, themed: Navigating a Turbulent World: Energy, Climate and Security, the three will discuss challenges and breakthrough opportunities related to accelerating just energy transitions, expanding energy access, and ending energy poverty. In addition, Dr. Shah will participate in a conversation on addressing climate change in the developing world at Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy.
"If humanity continues with business as usual, the world is on track to warm by about 3 degrees Celsius, at which temperature life for far too many people will be harsher, poorer, and more fragile," said Dr. Rajiv J. Shah, President of The Rockefeller Foundation. "I look forward to speaking in Houston about how The Rockefeller Foundation is working with partners around the world to scale innovative technologies, and identify new ways to mobilize financing, to both avert climate catastrophe and improve the lives of millions of underrepresented people around the world."
Alongside the engagement at Rice University, Dr. Shah, Ms. O'Connor, and Mr. Dayal will talk about The Rockefeller Foundation's efforts to advance just energy transitions in emerging and developing countries via the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP). A year after its official launch, GEAPP released early results of its efforts in its 12 partner countries during COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. The $500 million that The Rockefeller Foundation committed to GEAPP is the single largest investment in The Rockefeller Foundation's $22-billion, 109-year giving history.

NEW YORK, June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Mixx, a NYC-based creative agency, with a 26-year history of being a leader on the cutting edge of creativity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB), is now implementing a four-day work week for the summer months.
The shift came naturally to the agency, after The Mixx did what they do best - listened, learned and approached things differently. "We learned from the way COVID-19 impacted how our employees approached work," explains Robyn Streisand, Founder and CEO. "We made this shift in the work week to eliminate stressors and burnout and to empower our people by acknowledging that creativity doesn't always strike within the walls of an office."
Streisand has been intentional about fostering a productive team environment from the beginning. She recently spoke to LA Wire to share her thoughts on reshaping the future of work for The Mixx and society at large. The Mixx also embraces a fully hybrid work environment, off-site retreats, educational funds, home office improvement stipends and wellness benefits such as ClassPass. Most recently, The Mixx celebrated work and talent with a company-wide retreat in Miami Beach, also known as "Mixx Miami."
The Mixx joins a growing number of major organizations who've recently transitioned to a 4-day work week - including Buffer, Toshiba, Microsoft Japan, Treehouse and Basecamp. The success of the shift is well documented, with economist Juliet Schor noting that workers are "'dramatically happier,' revenue has increased and customer satisfaction scores are 'outstanding,'" in a recent speech at the TED2022 conference.
Founded in 1996, The Mixx is a certified diverse (WBENC and NGLCC) NYC-based creative agency that delivers impactful and purposeful branding, marketing, and culture and communications programs and campaigns to internal and external audiences alike. The company's bold and human-centered design approach features insight-driven and evidence-led strategy which connects brands with both new and existing audiences.

Driver: ‘Imposter cop’ used police lights in personal car
By Jeremy Finley
Click here for updates on this story
WATERTOWN, Tennessee (WSMV) — When Chad Hayes saw the maroon RAV4 on Feb. 11, he immediately called 911.
It was the same vehicle, Hayes said, that just a month earlier, flashed police lights at him on I-40.
“I had trouble with this guy a couple weeks ago, flashing red and blues in this RAV 4 that he drives,” Hayes can he heard saying on police body camera.
According to a police incident report, the driver of RAV4 was Chris Tubbs, the same person identified in our Thin Blurred Line investigation for posting pictures of himself wearing police identification while working security, though he is not a state certified law enforcement officer.
Hayes said on Jan. 12, while driving on I-40 in Wilson County, the driver of the maroon RAV4 flashed the lights when he became aggravated that Hayes was trying to pass him.
“Jerked his wheel back to the left while flashing his little red and blue lights at the back window at him,” Hayes said.
“Did they look like police lights?” asked WSMV4 Investigates.
“Oh yeah. The full red and blue police lights,” Hayes said.
Hayes said Tubbs followed him to a church parking lot.
“I looked right at him and said, ‘What do you think you’re doing?’ and he said, ‘We were concerned about you, because you were driving erratically,” Hayes said.
Hayes said he pointed out that it was Tubbs who driving erratically, trying to block him as Hayes tried to pass.
“I asked him, ‘What agency do you work for?’ And he said, ‘That’s not relevant at this point.’ I pulled out my phone out and said, ‘It sure is.’ He said, ‘Why is that?’ And I said, ‘Because you’re about to be reported,’” Hayes said.
Hayes said as soon as he got out his phone, Tubbs drove right out of the parking lot.
“He was about to endanger somebody’s life,” Hayes said.
WSMV4 Investigates reached Tubbs by phone, who denied using the blue lights.
“I’ve never done anything like that in my life. (Hayes) is a damn liar. I don’t care what he says. It was not me. I’ve never pulled anybody over. I ain’t that damn stupid,” Tubbs said.
Along with the Watertown officer taking the police report on Feb 9, Watertown assistant police chief Michael Henderlight arrived and made a realization.
The driver of the RAV4, Chris Tubbs, had once worked as a reserve police officer in Watertown.
Small towns can use people who aren’t trained in law enforcement or certified law enforcement to work as part-time reserve officers.
When Henderlight needed full-time officers, he said he instructed Tubbs to become certified.
“Sent (Tubbs) to the (police) academy, where he wasn’t successful in completing the academy,” Henderlight said.
Tubbs then resigned in 2020, never becoming a certified officer.
A year later, Henderlight said he was sent a picture of Tubbs wearing police identification while working security.
“I was like, I was flabbergasted,” Henderlight said. “It’s impersonating a police officer. It really does upset me, because it’s really dangerous.”
Tubbs told WSMV4 Investigates that he did wear police identification working the security jobs because it paid more money, but repeatedly denied ever using police lights in his personal car.
Henderlight said they passed along Hayes police report to the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office because the alleged incident happened in the county.
A spokesman for the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office said because Hayes himself did not file a report, it was not investigated.
Hayes said he now intends to file a police report.

ROXANA, Ill. (AP) — A contractor died after a crane overturned at a refinery in an Illinois suburb of St. Louis, a coroner said Tuesday.
Chad L. Crabtree, 47, of Owensboro, Kentucky, was pronounced dead at the scene of the incident Tuesday afternoon at the Philips 66 Refinery in Roxana, 17 miles (27.4 kilometers) northeast of St. Louis, Madison County Coroner Stephen Nonn said.
Crabtree was a project manager for Sterett Crane & Rigging, a subcontractor at the refinery, Nonn said.
During the operation of the crane, a mechanical malfunction occurred and caused the crane to overturn, Nonn said.
Crabtree sustained head trauma, he said. An autopsy was scheduled for Wednesday.
A second man operating the crane was also injured and transported to a hospital, Nonn said.
The incident remains under investigation by the Roxana Police Department and workplace safety investigators, Nonn said. | 2022-12-07T01:13:16+00:00 | wandtv.com | https://www.wandtv.com/news/worker-dies-after-crane-overturns-at-s-illinois-refinery/article_fa264a26-75c3-11ed-be50-6f2b12b5e239.html |
KEY LARGO, Fla. (AP) — More than 500 Cuban immigrants have come ashore in the Florida Keys since the weekend, the latest in a large and increasing number who are fleeing the communist island and stretching thin U.S. border agencies both on land and at sea.
It is a dangerous 100-mile (160-kilometer) trip in often rickety boats — unknown thousands having perished over the years — but more Cubans are taking the risk amid deepening and compounding political and economic crises at home.
The Coast Guard tries to interdict Cuban migrants at sea and return them. Since the U.S. government’s new fiscal year began Oct. 1, about 4,200 have been stopped at sea — or about 43 a day. That was up from 17 per day in the previous fiscal year and just two per day during the 2020-21 fiscal year.
But an unknown number have made it to land and will likely get to stay.
“I would prefer to die to reach my dream and help my family. The situation in Cuba is not very good,” Jeiler del Toro Diaz told The Miami Herald shortly after coming ashore Tuesday in Key Largo.
The Department of Homeland Security said it would be issuing a statement Wednesday, but had not yet done so.
Dry Tortugas National Park, a group of seven islands 70 miles (110 kilometers) west of Key West, remained closed to visitors Wednesday as the U.S. evacuated Cuban migrants who came ashore there earlier in the week. Normally, about 255 tourists a day arrive by boat and seaplane to tour the islands and Fort Jefferson, which was built 160 years ago. Officials did not know when it would reopen.
Ramón Raul Sanchez with the Cuban-American group Movimiento Democracia went to the Keys on Wednesday to check on the situation. He told The Associated Press that he met a group of 22 Cubans who had just arrived. They were standing along the main road, waiting for U.S. authorities to pick them up.
He and Keys officials said the Biden administration needs a more coordinated response. A smaller number of Haitians are also fleeing their country’s economic and political woes and arriving by boat in Florida.
“There is a migration and humanitarian crisis, and it is necessary for the president to respond by helping local authorities,” Sanchez said.
Cubans are willing to take the risk because those who make it to U.S. soil almost always get to stay, even if their legal status is murky. They also arrive by land, flying to Nicaragua, then traveling north through Honduras and Guatemala into Mexico. In the 2021-22 fiscal year, 220,000 Cubans were stopped at the U.S.-Mexican border, almost six times as many as the previous year.
Callan Garcia, a Florida immigration attorney, said most Cubans who reach U.S. soil tell Border Patrol agents they can’t find adequate work at home, so they are flagged “expedited for removal” as having entered the country illegally. But the connotation that they will be removed quickly or at all is misleading.
Because the U.S. and Cuba do not have formal diplomatic relations, the American government has no way to repatriate them. Cubans are released but given an order that requires them to contact federal immigration authorities periodically to confirm their address and status. They are allowed to get work permits, driver’s licenses and Social Security numbers, but cannot apply for permanent residency or citizenship.
Garcia said that can last for the rest of their lives; some Cubans who came in the 1980 Mariel boatlift still are designated “expedited for removal.”
“They’re just sort of here with a floating order for removal that can’t be executed,” said Garcia, who worked for Catholic Legal Services before going into private practice.
A small percentage of Cuban immigrants tell Border Patrol agents they are fleeing political persecution and are “paroled,” Garcia said. Under the 1966 Cuban Adjustment Act, they are released until they can appear before an immigration judge to make their case. If approved, they can receive permanent residency and later apply for citizenship.
On the other hand, Haitian immigrants almost always get sent back, even though political persecution and violence is rife there, along with severe economic hardship.
“That inconsistency has something that immigrant rights advocates have always pointed to,” Garcia said.

Grand jury refuses to indict officer for fatal mall shooting
FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — A grand jury has refused to indict a former northern Virginia police officer after he fatally shot an unarmed shoplifting suspect outside a busy shopping mall in February.
Authorities presented the case to a grand jury for an indictment against Wesley Shifflett, who shot and killed Timothy McCree Johnson outside Tysons Corner Center on Feb. 22.
Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano — who ran for office on a reform agenda that included holding police accountable for misdeeds — had called a press conference Monday, presumably to announce criminal charges.
But the noon press conference was first delayed, then canceled. Later in the day, Descano issued a statement saying he’s “evaluating all options” following the grand jury’s decision.
“Since, by law, no prosecutors were permitted to be present in the room when the investigating officers made their presentation to the grand jury, I can’t say for sure what information was conveyed to the grand jurors,” Descano said.
The shooting occurred after Shifflett and another Fairfax County police officer chased Johnson on foot from the mall after receiving a report from security guards that Johnson had stolen sunglasses from a Nordstrom department store.
Dimly lit body camera video shows the chase and the shooting. The officer is heard saying “Get on the ground” and later saying “stop reaching” as shots are fired. After the shooting, Shifflett tells another officer that he saw Johnson “continually reaching in his waistband.”
A search of the grounds after the shooting turned up no weapons.
Shifflett’s lawyer, Caleb Kershner, praised the grand jury for its decision.
“The grand jury has seen this case for exactly what it is,” Kershner said.
Kershner said Johnson’s death is a tragedy but that his client acted reasonably when he believed he saw Johnson reaching for a weapon in his waistband.
Shifflett was fired last month for what Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis called “a failure to live up to the expectations of our agency, in particular use of force policies.”
A lawyer for Johnson’s family likened the shooting to an execution. Johnson’s mother, Melissa Johnson, said officers shot her son when all they knew at the time was “that he was Black and male and had allegedly triggered an alarm from a store for some sunglasses.”
Descano, in his statement, said he had contacted Johnson’s family Monday morning and told them he expected an indictment.
“So I can only imagine their pain and shock when they received the news that the officer — who shot and killed their unarmed son — was not indicted,” he said.
The Johnson family’s lawyer, Carl Crews, said Descano’s office had indicated to the family that prosecutors anticipated obtaining a manslaughter indictment.
Crews noted how rare it is for grand juries to reject an indictment; he said he suspects that police officers who presented the evidence — something that’s done in Virginia outside of prosecutors’ presence — shaded their delivery to protect one of their own.
“We have to figure out a way to crush the blue wall of silence,” Crews said, advocating for Descano to try again with a different grand jury.
Defense lawyer Kershner said it would be “vindictive and almost anti-police” if Descano were to try to obtain an indictment from a different grand jury.
“The grand jury, thank God, did the right thing, and the commonwealth’s attorney’s office now has to accept that,” he said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The lack of clear direction and priorities at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s tobacco division has hampered its ability to regulate electronic cigarettes and other products, according to an expert panel assembled to examine problems at the agency.
A blistering report released Monday describes the FDA’s tobacco program as “reactive and overwhelmed,” in its effort to oversee both traditional tobacco products and a sprawling market of largely unauthorized electronic cigarettes. The experts say FDA’s inconsistent approach to regulation is at least partially to blame for the spread of thousands of e-cigarette varieties that remain popular among teenagers.
The assessment comes from a panel of experts convened by the Reagan-Udall Foundation, a non-profit that works on FDA issues.
FDA chief Dr. Robert Califf commissioned separate reviews of the agency’s tobacco and food programs over the summer, after ongoing controversies in both units raised questions about his leadership at the FDA.
Califf said Monday he will review the recommendations with the aim of outlining the agency’s next steps by February.
The Reagan-Udall group recommended that agency leaders set clear objectives and expectations for what the FDA Center for Tobacco Products can accomplish in coming years. That lack of clarity has been “detrimental” to FDA’s work and staff morale, the group notes.
The group also calls for the creation of a task force including FDA and other government departments to help crack down on unauthorized e-cigarettes and other products that have become popular with teenagers.
The review comes as the FDA’s tobacco program is besieged by criticism from all sides — including congressional lawmakers, anti-smoking advocates and tobacco companies.
Politicians, parents and anti-tobacco groups blame the FDA for failing to crack down on the burgeoning vaping industry. Tobacco and vaping companies say the FDA is unwilling to greenlight newer products for adult smokers — including e-cigarettes — that generally carry much lower risks than traditional combustible cigarettes. They say the handful of new products authorized by the agency are deeply unpopular with smokers.
“The agency must do a better job of setting forth clear policies to protect kids while also helping adults who can’t or won’t quit smoking,” said Cliff Douglas, who leads the University of Michigan’s Tobacco Research Network, and was not one of the authors of the report.
Created by Congress in 2009, the FDA’s tobacco center was granted sweeping powers to remake the tobacco industry, including banning harmful ingredients from traditional products and authorizing new, less-harmful alternatives.
But more than a decade later, little has changed. And almost no one is satisfied with the center’s progress.
One former FDA staffer said the panel should have dug deeper into the reasons for the FDA’s lack of action against traditional tobacco products.
“Something is wrong if FDA can be given these amazing powers in 2009 and here we are at the end of 2022 and it has yet to take actions that would take a bite out of smoking,” said Eric Lindblom, a lawyer at Georgetown University’s O’Neill Institute who previously worked at the FDA’s tobacco center.
The Reagan-Udall committee notes the FDA is hampered by “near constant litigation” brought by outside groups and companies unsatisfied with its performance. Those lawsuits have accelerated in recent years as the FDA repeatedly missed deadlines to review millions of e-cigarette applications from companies hoping to keep their products on the market.
The agency should seek more money to handle its workload in addition to overhauling its priorities and improving transparency.
Earlier this month Reagan-Udall delivered its food report, suggesting the agency’s leadership be restructured to improve its response to emergencies, including the recent shortage of baby formula
Reagan-Udall was created by Congress to help further FDA’s mission. The non-profit receives funding from both the FDA and the industries it regulates, including drugmakers.

CDC: Some monkeypox cases more severe than ‘originally thought’
(CNN) - Health officials are warning some cases of monkeypox are more severe than originally thought.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes some people with the disease have experienced debilitating symptoms.
Those symptoms include painful lesions, some of which have become necrotic and led to amputations.
Some patients have also experienced involvement of multiple organs and developed conditions including heart and brain inflammation.
Most of these severe cases are being seen in people who are also infected with advanced stages of HIV. Scientists say the same could happen in anyone whose immune system is compromised.
The majority of cases diagnosed in the U.S. have been mild to moderate. The U.S. has about 25,000 cases reported, and one death has been attributed to monkeypox.

RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.
STEVE INSKEEP, host:
And I'm Steve Inskeep.
An important group of senators meets today to discuss the nomination of Samuel Alito to the US Supreme Court. The so-called Gang of 14 worked out a deal earlier this year that averted a Senate showdown over judicial filibusters. If they stay together, they can block a nomination or push it through. Now there are signs of division in that group. Two of the Republicans involved say they would vote to stop a Democratic filibuster of a confirmation vote.
MONTAGNE: This week, we are looking at some of the issues Judge Alito would face if he were confirmed--today, the balance between federal power and states' rights. As a judge on the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals, he has a record of siding with the state. Michael Gerhardt is a professor of constitutional law at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and he joins me now.
Good morning.
Professor MICHAEL GERHARDT (University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill): Good morning.
MONTAGNE: Let's get real quickly to some basics. What kinds of legal issues place the states at odds with the federal government?
Prof. GERHARDT: There are an extraordinary range of issues that place states in conflict with the federal government. These issues can range anywhere from federal environmental laws to federal laws that seek to directly regulate the states or--and, for example, when the federal government does something, anytime the federal government passes a law that either takes something away from a state, precludes the state from continuing to regulate it--or sometimes the federal government will directly regulate the state in trying to direct it what to do.
MONTAGNE: And what then is the philosophy or the rationale, if you will, for defending states' rights, you know, consistently?
Prof. GERHARDT: The rationale is, basically, that you would assume that, given any ambiguities in the Constitution, that you would read those ambiguities against the federal government. So as the federal government is not given any power clearly over something, you would read the Constitution as reserving that power in the states and not giving it to the federal government. And if you have that mind-set, or you have that premise, when you approach the Constitution, then you would, I think, read it in much the same way that Judge Alito has read it, to favor states in any case in which it's not clearly one that gives the federal government power over the states.
MONTAGNE: So let's talk about a couple of specifics. What sorts of decisions--or give us one example of a decision that he's made involving states' rights.
Prof. GERHARDT: Well, one of the, I guess, most talked about cases is one in which he's dissented to a federal law that was trying to regulate machine guns, trying to restrict machine guns. And Judge Alito said, in his dissent, he didn't feel that the federal government had the authority to restrict the sale or ownership of machine guns. And when he reached that judgment, he said that this is really something left to the states to regulate, so states could restrict the sales, perhaps, but not the federal government.
MONTAGNE: And it had to do with commerce. I mean, it happened to involve machine guns, but it had to do with commerce laws.
Prof. GERHARDT: Yes, yes. Congress had passed a law under its power to regulate interstate commerce, to restrict ownership or sales of machine guns, and so Judge Alito read that power of Congress to regulate interstate commerce quite narrowly.
MONTAGNE: So now that's one example, but generally speaking, could he change the court on this issue? In other words, was Sandra Day O'Connor the swing vote in these issues?
Prof. GERHARDT: She was sometimes the swing vote in these issues, but sometimes the swing votes in these cases actually were both Chief Justice Rehnquist and Justice O'Connor, and, of course, these are the two justices being replaced. So if Chief Justice Roberts--and if Judge Alito gets confirmed--vote differently than those other two justices, then we might see quite different results. For example, in one case, the federal government passed the law called the Family Leave Act, which sought among other things to regulate the states and how they basically--the policies they gave their workers with regard to leaving work for family reasons. Judge Alito, in that case, felt that the federal government didn't have the power to direct the states, but if--with two new justices, that case could come out differently.
MONTAGNE: Thank you very much for joining us, Professor Gerhardt.
Prof. GERHARDT: Thank you very much.

Best headphones for camping
Getting back to nature can be an amazing way to de-stress. Spending time in the forests of a national park or hiking the Midwestern plains can make you forget about your worries as you take in the sights.

As Senate-confirmed justices end Roe, how will voters react?
WASHINGTON (AP) — The end of Roe v. Wade started in the Senate.
It was the Senate Republican partnership with President Donald Trump to confirm conservative judges, and transform the federal judiciary, that paved the way for the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling to overturn the constitutional right to abortion.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell set the strategy in motion, engineering the Supreme Court’s makeover by blocking President Barack Obama’s 2016 nomination of then-Judge Merrick Garland and changing the Senate’s rules to easily confirm Trump’s picks. It was a long game that sought to lock in a conservative court majority for decades to come. Trump and McConnell, R-Ky., couldn’t have accomplished it alone, needing the backing of almost all Republican senators to reshape the bench.
Now, Republicans are heading into a November midterm election that is poised to swiftly become a referendum on the court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, as voters decide which party should control Congress. With the nation polarized, Democrats are vowing legislation to protect abortion access and while Republicans want to impose further limits, including a nationwide ban on abortions.
“We are going to retake the Senate in November and we’re going to hold the Senate for a long time,” predicted Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., who celebrated the ruling on a conference call with reporters Friday.
The stakes are high with the control of Congress in the balance. With Biden’s approval rating low and economic conditions grim with high gas prices and other signs of inflation, Republicans are favored to pick up seats in both chambers and regain control. Democrats have just a slim few-vote margin in the House and barely hold the evenly split 50-50 Senate because Vice President Kamala Harris casts a vote in case of a tie.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., warned that Republicans would be called to answer for their work and were planning even more draconian measures if they win control of Congress, including a nationwide ban on abortion.
“They cannot be allowed to do this,” Pelosi said. “Make no mistake: The rights of women and all Americans are on the ballot this November.”
Before Trump was elected the nation’s abortion wars had settled into an uneasy truce in Congress. The court’s decisions in Roe v. Wade and the subsequent Planned Parenthood v. Casey affirmed a constitutional right to abortion access. Legislation flared from time to time, but there were rarely solid majorities in the House and Senate to upend settled law.
But McConnell, R-Ky., set his plans for a conservative judiciary in motion early 2016, even before Trump became president. Knowing the power abortion and other issues held for conservative voters, he refused to consider Obama’s nominee to fill the court vacancy left by conservative Justice Antonin’s Scalia’s death that February. McConnell argued it was too close to the November election.
It was a stunning, calculating political move. McConnell dashed off his decision just before the Republican presidential candidates were about to take the stage for a debate heading into the South Carolina primary, setting the tone for the GOP.
Democrats, outraged, pushed ahead Obama’s nomination of Garland only to have McConnell, as majority leader in the Senate, decline to take it up for consideration. Trump won the presidential election in November in part on the promise of filling the court vacancy with a conservative in the mold of the late Scalia.
The Trump era brought three new conservative justices — Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. Each was confirmed under new rules McConnell orchestrated that lowered the threshold to a simple 51-vote majority, to push past a filibuster of opposition.
While Republican senators may have diverged with Trump on many issues, almost all Senate Republicans stuck with him on this one for the promise a conservative court majority could bring — not just on abortion, which some senators feel more strongly about than others, but the rash of other policy and regulatory issues.
No Democrats voted for Barrett, and of the three Democrats who voted for Gorsuch only Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, remains in office. He also voted for Kavanaugh.
Manchin said he was “alarmed” at the abortion decision, having trusted Gorsuch and Kavanaugh when they testified under oath that Roe v. Wade was settled legal precedent.
The same disbelief was expressed by Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who along Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska are the two Republican senators who publicly support access to abortion.
“Every Republican Senator knew this would happen if they voted to confirm these radical justices,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
Collins appeared furious Friday, saying the ruling was “ill-considered” and “inconsistent” with what Gorsuch and Kavanaugh had told her in private meetings and their public testimony about the importance of supporting judicial precedents.
“Throwing out a precedent overnight that the country has relied upon for half a century is not conservative,” Collins said in a statement. “It is a sudden and radical jolt to the country that will lead to political chaos, anger, and a further loss of confidence in our government.”
Murkowski and Collins have introduced legislation that would begin to put the Roe v. Wade protections into law, an alternative to the Democrats’ bill that already passed the House but has been blocked in the Senate as unduly expanding abortion rights.
The two Republican women said a legislative solution was paramount, and must be a priority, despite the unlikelihood of the House and Senate passing a bill.
“It is up to Congress to respond,” said Murkowski, who is up for reelection in the fall.
But Republicans are moving in the opposite direction, poised to enact further restrictions if they win control of Congress in fall.
Asked what types of abortion legislation Republicans would work to advance if they took over the House, GOP leader Kevin McCarthy, who is in line to replace Pelosi as speaker, said: “We will continue to look wherever we can go to save as many lives as possible.”
Congress is away for a two-week recess. Crowds have gathered outside the Supreme Court, across the street, since the abortion decision was released.
McConnell, who is not up for reelection this fall but hopes to win enough seats to again become the majority leader in the Senate, appeared pleased by the outcome of his many long years of work.
“Millions of Americans have spent half a century praying, marching, and working toward today’s historic victories,” he said in a statement Friday. “I have been proud to stand with them throughout our long journey and I share their joy today.”

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Lawmakers advanced a measure to limit where people can get abortions in Utah, banning abortion clinics and effectively requiring they only be provided in hospitals. After passing through the state Senate on a party-line vote Thursday, it now heads to the desk of Gov. Spencer Cox, an anti-abortion Republican who expressed support last month.
“When we passed the trigger ban a couple years ago, I did not anticipate we would be here so soon,” Republican state Sen. Dan McCay said.
The measure is one of several that members of Utah’s Republican-supermajority statehouse has passed this year while abortion restrictions approved in years past are on hold due to a state court injunction. It has faced fierce opposition from business, civil liberties and abortion rights groups including Planned Parenthood Association of Utah, which operates three of the four abortion clinics in the state.
“It has one goal,” Karrie Galloway, the group’s president and CEO, said in a statement after the measure passed. “Put abortion out of reach for as many Utahns as possible no matter what their faith, family and trust medical providers decide is best for their safety and health.”
Republican lawmakers’ push to shutter abortion clinics comes as red states throughout the country work to implement restrictions less than a year after the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court decision that enshrined a constitutional right to abortion for nearly 50 years. After the court gave states the power to regulate abortion, many attempted to implement “trigger laws” designed to take effect upon a Supreme Court ruling, while others took action to reinstitute pre-Roe bans on the books.
In Utah, the ruling triggered two previously passed laws — a 2019 ban on abortion after 18 weeks and a 2020 ban on abortions regardless of trimester, with several exceptions including for instances of risk to maternal health as well as rape or incest reported to the police. The state Planned Parenthood affiliate sued over the 2020 ban, and in July, a state court delayed implementing it until legal challenges could be resolved. The 18-week ban has since been de facto law.
The clinic-centered push in Utah is unique among states with trigger laws, where many abortion clinics closed after last year’s Supreme Court decision. Clinics were shuttered in states such as West Virginia and Mississippi in the aftermath, yet they remain open in Utah while courts deliberate. The measure mirrors a raft of proposals passed in red states in the decade before Roe was overturned when anti-abortion lawmakers passed measuresregulating clinics, including the size of procedure rooms and distances from hospitals.
In Utah, the proposal from Rep. Karianne Lisonbee would require all abortions — via medication or surgery — be provided in hospitals by not allowing new clinics to be licensed after May 2 and not allowing any to operate once their licenses expire. It would affect the operations of the four clinics that provide abortions in Utah — three run by Planned Parenthood and the other by Wasatch Women’s Center, an independent clinic in Salt Lake City. The measure would also clarify the definition of abortion to address legal liability concerns providers voiced about the way exceptions are worded in state law — a provision Republicans called a compromise.
Because the 2020 ban would effectively put abortion clinics out of business, abortion opponents argue that it makes sense to remove them from state statute, Mary Taylor, president of Pro-Life Utah, said. She said the exceptional circumstances in which abortion will still be legal — rape, incest and health of the mother — are better suited to hospital care.
“We have in statute provisions to license an abortion clinic when abortion is not legal. There’s an incongruency there,” Taylor said. “This just clarifies the statute.”
McCay, the measure’s Senate sponsor, said limiting abortions to emergency or exceptional circumstances and requiring they be provided in hospitals would protect both “the innocent and the health of the mother.”
In Utah last year, clinics provided most abortions. Of the total 2,818 administered, 61% were with medications like mifepristone rather than via surgery. Abortion access proponents argued abortions were no different than other kinds of specialty care that have increasingly moved to clinic settings where providers are more accustomed to recurring patient concerns and confronting complications that may arise.
Jasmin Charles, a Salt Lake City physician’s assistant, said closing clinics would limit access to anyone seeking an abortion but would make things especially difficult for people who may not have extra cash or easy access to transportation. She anticipated difficult conversations lied ahead with her patients, including those struggling with substance abuse, as she works to advise them on how to access a rapidly diminishing number of reproductive health care options.
“I can tell my patients that hospitals are OK,” Charles said. “But I know I work with individuals who cannot access the care through the hospital when every time they walk through the hospital door — including for an abortion — they think ‘It’ll cost me $10,000 to $20,000.’” | 2023-03-03T01:41:58+00:00 | seattletimes.com | https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/health/utah-measure-to-ban-abortion-clinics-goes-to-governors-desk/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all |
LUBBOCK, Texas — Court records obtained by EverythingLubbock.com on Tuesday revealed additional details about potential DNA evidence in the murder of Deborah Sue Agnew Williamson after her body was exhumed in early May.
Debbie Sue was 18 years old when she was stabbed to death in front of her South Lubbock home in August of 1975. Debbie’s killer has not been identified since her tragic death more than 47 years ago. Court documents stated Debbie’s husband, who had been at work at the time of the murder, called the police and “advised his wife had been raped and she was lying on the ground outside their residence.”
An autopsy found Debbie suffered multiple stab wounds. According to court records, there was evidence that Debbie fought back against her killer with her hands, which could have left DNA under her fingernails and on her jewelry.
When Debbie’s body was exhumed on May 10, investigators collected fingernails, a hair sample and two samples of bone from Debbie’s remains, court records stated. Investigators also collected her jewelry, which included a promise ring, high school class ring, wedding band and an engagement ring.
“New methods of DNA extraction now exist that may be able to locate DNA on these rings,” court records stated.
Court documents said thanks to advancements in technology, it could be possible to obtain DNA evidence from “increasingly smaller” samples that might not have been successful in the past.
Debbie’s sister, Liz Flatt, told EverythingLubbock.com in early May she hopes this DNA evidence will hold her sister’s killer accountable.
“It took a lot of hard work to get to this point,” Flatt said. “I cannot thank [the Lubbock Police Department] enough.”
Anyone with information about the case is encouraged to call Crime Line at (806)-741-1000. | 2023-05-23T21:21:52+00:00 | everythinglubbock.com | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/local-news/1975-cold-case-in-lubbock-target-of-new-search-warrant/ |

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Nick Tullier, a Baton Rouge sheriff’s deputy who was shot in the head and stomach during a July 2016 ambush that killed three other law enforcement officers during a summer of protests over the police killing of a Black man, died Thursday at age 47.
Tullier's death was announced on the Facebook page of his father, James Tullier, and on a companion page dedicated to Tullier's effort to recover in the years since the shooting. They did not mention the cause of death, but Tullier had struggled for years to recover from the 2016 shooting.
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards ordered that flags fly at half-staff over the Capitol and other public buildings in East Baton Rouge Parish until sunset Friday. He called Tullier, a corporal in the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office, and the other officers shot in the July 17, 2016, shooting “true heroes.”
The Sunday morning ambush came less than two weeks after Alton Sterling, a Black Baton Rouge resident, was fatally shot in a struggle with two white Baton Rouge police officers outside a convenience store on July 5. Video of Sterling's killing spread on social media and led to protests against the police in Baton Rouge and beyond. No officers were ever charged for Sterling's death, although the local government reached a $4.5 million settlement with his family years later.
Two days after the Sterling shooting, a sniper in Dallas killed five police officers and wounded seven others during protests over the shootings of Sterling and the July 6 shooting death of Philando Castile.
The July 17 ambush ended when the suspect was shot and killed. He was identified as Gavin Long, 29, of Kansas City, Missouri, a Black military veteran. He died after killing Baton Rouge police officers Montrell Jackson and Matthew Gerald and another East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's deputy, Brad Garafola,
“I am heartbroken at the passing of a true hero, Cpl. Nick Tullier this morning,” East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff Sid Gautreaux said in a statement. “Nick’s injury was a result of his selfless actions to courageously answer the call to protect and serve. For nearly six years he has defied all odds in recovery through his unwavering tenacity.”
Tullier, a father of two, had 18 years of service with the sheriff's department when he was shot. | 2022-05-05T18:48:57+00:00 | seattlepi.com | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Sheriff-s-corporal-shot-in-2016-Baton-Rouge-17150827.php |

Convicted murderer faces retrial in 2nd Tucson girl’s death
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — A man already convicted of murdering a Tucson teenager in 2014 is scheduled to be retried in the kidnapping and death of a 6-year-old girl.
Pima County prosecutors said the retrial of 41-year-old Christopher Clements is scheduled to begin on Sept. 12 and last four weeks.
Clements has been charged with first-degree murder, burglary and kidnapping a minor under the age of 15 in relation to Isabel Celis’ death and disappearance.
He was tried on the same charges in February, but a mistrial was declared when jurors could not agree on the murder count.
In a separate case last year, Clements was sentenced to life in prison for the 2014 death of 13-year-old Maribel Gonzalez.
A different jury heard Clements’ first murder trial involving Celis, who was reported missing from her bedroom in her parents’ Tucson home in April 2012.
Clements, a convicted sex offender with a long criminal record, was arrested in 2018 and indicted on 22 felony counts in the girls’ deaths.
Gonzalez disappeared while walking to a friend’s house in June 2014 and authorities said her body was found days later.
Celis’ remains were not recovered until 2017. Authorities said Clements was identified as a suspect in March of that year after he led federal investigators to her remains in exchange for the dropping of unrelated charges.
According to Tucson police, Clements said he had nothing to do with Celis’ death and he only knew the location of the body.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The final hours of the last WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play turned into a dud for everyone but Sam Burns.
Burns went on a tear Sunday afternoon in the championship match with eight birdies on his final 10 holes and enough help from Cameron Young for a 6-and-5 victory. It was the second-largest margin in an 18-hole match in this tournament.
Burns won for the fifth time on the PGA Tour. Young, who had a late rally with clutch birdies to eliminate Rory McIlroy in the semifinals, had to settle for his sixth runner-up finish in the last 18 months.
“What a week,” Burns said. “I’m so tired.”
Burns made it to the championship match Sunday afternoon only when defending champion Scottie Scheffler missed a 4-foot birdie putt on the 20th hole of their semifinal match. Given new life, Burns made birdie from a fairway bunker with a 15-foot putt to advance.
Young had an early lead. Burns squared the match on the fifth hole and took the lead with a chip-and-putt birdie on the par-5 sixth. And then on the next hole, Young missed a 6-foot par putt to fall 2 down. It was his first bogey since the seventh hole on Thursday.
All the momentum Young had built up over the week seemed to vanish. And the silky putting stroke of Burns was never better.
He holed a 20-foot birdie putt at No. 8. He made a 12-footer on No. 10 to go 4 up. He birdied the 11th hole from 25 feet — Young made his from 20 to halve the hole — and then it ended so abruptly.
Young pulled his shot from rough into the water on the par-5 12th, and then he came up short of the green and into the water on the reachable par-4 13th.
Burns chipped to just inside 3 feet, and Young removed his cap without making him putt.
“It’s easy to think you’re so close,” Young said. “There’s one guy standing between you and winning the tournament. And that one guy is Sam Burns playing really well.”
The highlight was his semifinal win over McIlroy, who was in full flight for so much of the week. McIlroy was 2 up with three holes to play when Young won the 16th with a birdie and then hit a nifty pitch-and-run up the slope and his purest putt of the week.
On the first extra hole at the par-5 12th, Young was in such a bad spot in the bunker next to the lip that he could only blast out to 169 yards with McIlroy just over 200 yards for his second. Young hammered pitching wedge to 9 feet and made birdie. McIlroy played short and right of the green, chipped to just inside 9 feet and missed.
That was the kind of theater that graced Austin Country Club all week, particularly Sunday morning. Scheffler was trying to join Tiger Woods as the only back-to-back winners, and he had a 2-up lead over Burns through 10 holes.
Burns rallied back against his best friend on tour, and Scheffler had to get up-and-down from short of the 18th green for birdie to force overtime. He had it won on the second extra hole at No. 13 — except he missed the putt — and Burns escaped.
Burns in the championship match was close to unbeatable.
McIlroy and Scheffler wound up in the consolation match, which McIlroy won, 2 and 1. That gave the thin crowd something to watch when Burns ended the title match early. Scheffler played four years for the Longhorns. McIlroy is popular everywhere.
And while that was going on the, the Longhorns were on TV trying to get to the Final Four.
It was a flat ending to what has been 23 dynamic events of Match Play since the World Golf Championships began in 1999. Match Play was the first one, a 38-hole final won by Jeff Maggert at La Costa. That was a nail-biter. This was a rout.
Match Play will not be on the schedule in 2024 as the PGA Tour moves toward elevated events for the top 70 or so players, a response to the threat of Saudi-funded LIV Golf.
Burns, who made 40 birdies for the week, moved to No. 10 in the world and collected $3.5 million from the $20 million purse. Young got $2.2 million for finishing second, though a trophy after so many close calls would seem to be invaluable.

CHICAGO (AP) — Nikola Vucevic had 22 points and 12 rebounds, Andre Drummond set season highs with 21 points and 15 rebounds, and the Chicago Bulls handed San Antonio its ninth straight loss, beating the Spurs 128-104 on Monday night.
Zach LaVine scored 20 points and DeMar DeRozan had 19, helping the Bulls match a season high with their third straight win. They also got some payback for a loss at San Antonio in October.
It was tied at 85 late in the third quarter when Chicago went on a 23-3 run that buried the team with the second-worst record in the Western Conference. Two more losses and the Spurs will match their worst skid of the season.
DeRozan started the decisive run with a three-point play and step-back jumper in the final minute of the third, giving the Bulls a five-point lead.
Drummond continued to make a case for a bigger role. The two-time All-Star played 21 minutes in his second double-double in three games, after being used in a limited role. He scored 10 points in Chicago’s big run, delighting the crowd with back-to-back dunks.
The Bulls had seven players score in double figures and shot 56.2% despite making just 6 of 22 3-pointers. It was their fourth win in five games overall.
Keldon Johnson led San Antonio with 21 points. But the Spurs opened a season-high, nine-game trip on an all-too-familiar note.
Coby White hit two free throws and fed Drummond for dunk off a steal in the opening minute of the fourth to bump the lead to 94-85. Doug McDermott hit a 3 for San Antonio, but the Bulls continued to pull away.
TIP-INS
Spurs: San Antonio had won four of five against Chicago. ... F Jeremy Sochan (sore lower back) and G Tre Jones (sore left foot) missed their second consecutive game.
Bulls: The Bulls' 39 first-quarter points were one shy of their season high. ... G Alex Caruso (sore left foot) missed his second straight game. Chicago's best perimeter defender, he was injured in Thursday's 114-98 victory over Charlotte. “He's shown some significant strides in a very positive direction,” coach Billy Donovan said.
UP NEXT
Spurs: Visit Toronto on Wednesday.
Bulls: Visit Memphis on Tuesday.

A fight between students in a classroom in California left one student dead and one injured, according to the Santa Rosa Police Department.
Santa Rosa Police Chief John Cregan confirmed in a press conference on Wednesday afternoon that a 16-year old student died in a stabbing in a classroom inside Montgomery High School. He said that two students entered an art class at 11:11 a.m. and approached a freshman student, who then pulled out a folding knife with a blade of about four to five inches.
He said that the two students who entered the classroom were stabbed. One was stabbed in the upper body three times, and the other was stabbed in the hand. Both students were transported to the hospital, but one of the students died, and the second one was left injured, Cregan said. There were about 30 other people in the class at the time, including 27 students, but no other reported injuries.
Cregan said that a 15-year-old student is in custody after he fled the scene and was found in a creek near the school, but noted that the police have not recovered a weapon. He said that it remains an ongoing investigation.
A school official noted that the school does not have metal detectors in the school now, and that they will “assess” how to support the students going forward, according to the press conference.
The high school went under a lockdown and dismissed students early for the day at approximately 1 p.m., according to a school alert. | 2023-03-02T02:32:33+00:00 | kdvr.com | https://kdvr.com/hill-politics/fight-in-high-school-classroom-leaves-one-dead-one-injured/ |

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (WGHP) — Four people are dead as the result of a wrong-way, head-on crash on US 52 in Winston-Salem, according to the Winston-Salem Police Department.
At around 3:04 a.m. on Sunday, officers got a report of a wrong-way driver traveling northbound on US 52 South.
Police say that the vehicle was driving in the wrong direction on US 52 southbound and crashed head-on with another vehicle near the 3rd Street bridge.
One of the vehicles had four adult passengers inside who are all dead as a result of the crash, according to investigators. The driver of the other involved vehicle is in the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
All lanes of US 52 South were shut down between East 2nd Street and US 421 as a result of the crash scene investigation.
There is no further information available at this time.
This is a developing story. | 2023-04-17T12:20:54+00:00 | qcnews.com | https://www.qcnews.com/news/u-s/north-carolina/4-dead-in-wrong-way-head-on-crash-on-us-52-in-winston-salem-police-say/ |
The first half of November features the peaks of two different meteor showers – the Taurids and the Leonids.
Both meteor showers aren’t well known for a lot of meteor activity, but patient watchers should be able to spot anywhere between 5 and 15 meteors in an hour.
The Taurid meteor shower appears first, and the Leonids follow.
The Best Time To Watch The Taurid Meteor Shower
The Taurid meteor shower is technically two: the South Taurids and the North Taurids.
South Taurid meteors begin to fly across the night sky during the last week of September and last through mid-November, while North Taurid meteors are active from mid-October to the early days of December.
Observers have the best chance to see some of these slow-moving and sometimes bright meteors when the two overlap between Nov. 5 and 12.
To increase your chances of seeing one of these, find a dark place far from any city lights and look to the south near the Taurus constellation after midnight.
On average, observers can expect to see between 5 and 10 meteors every hour, and while that may seem low, experts are saying your patience will be rewarded.
According to EarthSky, this meteor shower puts on an exceptional show every seven years, and this year is the year to see a possible fireball display.
How To See The Leonid Meteor Shower
The Leonid meteor shower has a history of intermittent activity ranging from very little to shooting stars falling like rain.
In a typical year, however, observers can expect between 10 and 15 meteors every hour.
Leonid meteors begin to fall in early November and last through early December, with the peak occurring the night of Nov. 17.
To get a good view, look to the east late in the evening close to midnight when the constellation Leo rises over the horizon.
You’ll have a brief period of complete darkness before the moon rises in the early morning hours, making it more difficult to see any meteors streaking across the sky.
Meteor watchers have a lot of great opportunities to see some activity in the first half of November, as long as the skies are clear and you can find a dark place to watch.

TOKYO (AP) — The man who married a former Japanese princess has passed the New York bar exam, defying detractors back home who had criticized their romance.
Kei Komuro’s name is on the list of those who passed the July New York state bar exam, which was posted Friday on The New York State Board of Law Examiners web site.
Komuro’s engagement to former Princess Mako, announced in 2017, prompted a widespread public outcry, mostly on social media and in the tabloids. One reason was a financial problem of Komuro’s mother, although that’s since been resolved.
Komuro, 31, a graduate of Fordham University law school, has a job at a New York law firm, and has been living in New York with Mako, a museum curator. She gave up her royal status last year when she married Komuro. All Japanese princesses relinquish their royal status upon marriage, as there is only male succession in the Japanese imperial family.
Speculation has now moved to how much money Komuro might be earning as a lawyer, instead of when he might be getting fired.
Reports said Komuro’s shaky standing will improve with the imperial family, the couple may move from Hell’s Kitchen in Manhattan to a ritzier neighborhood, and Komuro’s mom may move in with them.
Japan appears modern on the surface, but values about family and women are rooted in feudal practices. Many Japanese are also often jealous of people who study abroad or get jobs with international companies.
Local media say the couple are like Romeo and Juliet, and have used the Japanese equivalent of the phrase: “the third time is the charm.” Komuro failed the bar in his two previous attempts.
It’s common for people to pass after multiple attempts. Of the 9,609 candidates for the latest exam, the passing rate was 66% at 6,350 people, including Komuro.
The couple did without any fancy wedding, registered their marriage and took off to New York in November last year. They met while attending Tokyo’s International Christian University a decade ago.
The Japanese tabloids had stalked the couple in New York, taking snapshots and commenting snidely about Mako’s casual clothes, which struck a contrast with the usual staid formal wear of Japan’s imperial family.
Other princesses have married commoners and left the palace. But the reaction to Komuro and Mako was especially frenzied, much of it focusing on whether he would be able to support his wife.
Mako, who turns 31 Sunday, is the niece of Emperor Naruhito, who also married a commoner, Masako. Masako, a Harvard graduate, suffered depression in the cloistered imperial life. Former Emperor Akihito, Naruhito’s father, was the first member of the imperial family to marry a commoner.
The family holds no political power but serves as a symbol of the nation, attending ceremonial events and visiting disaster zones.
When Komuro returned from the U.S. last year to marry Mako, they were reunited for the first time in three years.
Mako said then: “He is someone I cannot do without.”
Komuro echoed her devotion: “I want to live the only life I have with the person I love.”

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Cleveland Browns defensive end Jadeveon Clowney was back at practice Wednesday after missing one game with a concussion while starting left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. sat out with a back issue.
Clowney didn’t play in last week’s 17-10 loss to New Orleans after sustaining a head injury on Dec. 17 against Baltimore.
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Clowney is “getting better” as the Browns (6-9), who were eliminated from postseason contention with their loss to the Saints, prepare to face the Washington Commanders (7-7-1) on the road Sunday.
Clowney has been slowed by an ankle injury and the concussion and has just two sacks this season. Rookie Alex Wright started in his place last week.
A first-round pick in 2020, Wills has started all 16 games in his third season. Stefanski said Wills is “working through something” and indicated it’s too early to know if he’ll be available to play.
James Hudson would be an option in Wills is out.
Also, Pro Bowl defensive end Myles Garrett, left guard Joel Bitonio and wide receiver Amari Cooper were on stationary bikes during the portion of practice open to reporters. | 2022-12-29T13:29:35+00:00 | wdtn.com | https://www.wdtn.com/sports/browns-de-jadeveon-clowney-back-from-concussion-practicing/ |
WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — There’s concern from lawmakers that the childcare crisis is getting worse. Senators and experts agree, childcare is increasingly unaffordable for many Americans.
“We’re talking about paying people 13, 14 dollars an hour,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said.
Wednesday, lawmakers including Sanders asked experts how to both increase pay for childcare workers and lower the cost for parents.
“Why is childcare so expensive?” Sanders asked.
Sanders said child care often costs more than $15,000 per year.
“Can families afford in many cases, middle-class, working-class families afford childcare?” Sanders asked.
“Families cannot afford it,” National Association for Education of Young Children Managing Director Lauren Hogan said.
Sanders said the childcare system in New Mexico is an example other states could follow.
“We raised everybody’s wages $3 an hour,” New Mexico Early Childhood Education and Care Department Cabinet Secretary Elizabeth Groginsky said.
That change came after more than 70% of New Mexico voters supported dedicating nearly $150 million per year to early childhood education.
“Non-profit, for-profit, faith-based, there are lots of options for families and it’s important that we invest in all of those options,” Groginsky said.
However, Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) said there are too many regulations in the way to establish childcare facilities and the federal government shouldn’t be involved.
“It makes it almost cost prohibitive and so if we really want to fix costs, we should start looking at ourselves and seeing another way to soften the amount of regulations and still keep our kids safe,” Mullin said.
Despite these concerns, Republicans agreed childcare costs need to be reined in before it gets worse. | 2023-06-01T20:01:11+00:00 | upmatters.com | https://www.upmatters.com/news/senate-hearing-highlights-childcare-crisis-in-the-u-s/ |
