WASHINGTON, May 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new survey by John Zogby Strategies found that workers at private businesses owned by employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) place a higher priority on their companies' commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) than employees at non-ESOP companies. The survey also found that employee-owned companies are more likely to deliver on those expectations, with S corporation ESOP workers giving their employers higher marks than their peers at non-ESOP companies for community investment, volunteering, economic opportunity, and social justice.
The survey, commissioned by the Employee-Owned S Corporations of America (ESCA), explored the opinions of rank-and-file employees on the importance of CSR at both ESOP and non-ESOP companies. Key findings include:
- Seven in 10 ESOP employees (72%) said their companies' commitment to CSR was very important, compared to just 53% of non-ESOP employees.
- Only 2% of ESOP employees said their companies DO NOT value CSR, compared to 10% of non-ESOP employees.
- Greater than eight in 10 (84%) ESOP employees said it's very important for their companies to invest in the local community, compared to 53% of non-ESOP employees.
- More than nine out of 10 ESOP employees (94%) felt their companies encourage volunteering in the local community, compared to just 76% of non-ESOP employees.
- ESOP employees were twice as likely as non-ESOP employees to say their companies made an effort to provide economic opportunity in the community.
- Nearly one half of ESOP employees said their companies made a high effort in a commitment to social justice/diversity/inclusion, compared to just one third of non-ESOP employees.
- ESOP employees would be less likely to accept a prospective job from an employer that did not have a strong commitment to corporate social responsibility.
"Workers across all industries, age groups, and demographics expect more from their employers than just a paycheck at the end of the day," said Stephanie Silverman, President and CEO of ESCA. "Employee ownership isn't only about delivering financial returns; it's about providing a better culture and commitment to employee-owners. While we understand there is always work to be done, we are proud to see yet another data point demonstrating the strong advantage of employee ownership, especially when it comes to fostering a better workplace culture."

DENVER — DENVER (AP) — The Seattle Kraken converged from all points on the ice to the same spot — Philipp Grubauer's net.
A fitting gathering place to celebrate another first for this young franchise.
Grubauer was stellar in stopping 33 shots, Oliver Bjorkstrand scored twice and the Kraken eliminated the defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche with a 2-1 win in Game 7 on Sunday night.
The Kraken became the first expansion team to beat the reigning Stanley Cup champs in their inaugural playoff series, according to NHL Stats.
“A great accomplishment,” said Kraken forward Yanni Gourde, who had two assists. “Our fans have been amazing. They deserve this.”
Bjorkstrand scored one goal on a fortuitous deflection — the puck hit off a stick and glove — and another with a liner past goaltender Alexandar Georgiev that clanged off the post. Seattle grabbed the lead in every game in the series.
Next up for the second-year Kraken is a second-round series against the Stars that opens in Dallas on Tuesday night. Seattle was 1-1-1 against Dallas in the regular season.
The Kraken take a heap of momentum with them, too.
“It gives them that check mark of success,” Seattle coach Dave Hakstol said.
Mikko Rantanen was credited with a power-play goal for Colorado after a shot by Nathan MacKinnon clipped him and went in. MacKinnon appeared to score early in the third period to tie it at 2, but Seattle challenged the play and the goal was disallowed due to Colorado being offside.
Seattle's video crew turned in an MVP-caliber performance all series.
The Avalanche pulled Georgiev with under 2 minutes remaining but couldn't get the equalizer. It allowed the Kraken to accomplish another franchise first — a series-clinching celebration.
“Lots more to come from our group,” Grubauer said. “That was only series one.”
Colorado has now lost its last six Game 7s. The last time the Avalanche won a winner-take-all Game 7 was 2002, when they beat San Jose 1-0 courtesy of a goal from Hall of Fame forward Peter Forsberg.
Both teams lost players for the series due to hard hits. Jared McCann didn’t play again after taking a hit from Cale Makar along the boards in Game 4, which drew a one-game suspension (Game 5) for the Avalanche defenseman. Colorado was without Andrew Cogliano for Game 7 after he suffered a fracture in his neck following a hit along the boards from Kraken forward Jordan Eberle, who didn’t face supplemental discipline.
MacKinnon energized the crowd with what looked like a tying goal. But it was taken off the board following a challenge as Artturi Lehkonen was ruled in the zone before the puck entered.
It’s the second time this series the Kraken have used a challenge to negate an Avalanche score.
The Kraken also deflated the capacity crowd by doing what they’ve done in every game this series — score first.
“This is a really good hockey team,” Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said of the Kraken. “The one thing they were that we weren’t in the series was consistent.”
Held without a goal all series coming in, Bjorkstrand was credited with a goal in the second period that glanced the stick of Alex Newhook and then off the glove of Ben Meyers and into the goal. Bjorkstrand scored again nearly four minutes later on a breakaway down the side to make it 2-0.
Bjorkstrand nearly had a hat trick but his shot late in the game hit the post.
“I didn’t want to go out and not being able to sleep at night because I didn’t perform well,” Bjorkstrand explained. “Some nights you just kind of feel the puck better and I feel like this is just one of those nights.”
With 27.3 seconds left in the second period, MacKinnon lined a shot that glanced off Rantanen and went by Grubauer. MacKinnon’s assist on the play was his 100th career playoff point. He joins the company of Joe Sakic (188) and Forsberg (159) as the only Avalanche players to reach the 100-point milestone in the postseason.
Georgiev finished with 25 saves.
Grubauer was sensational in the first period against his former team. He stopped 16 shots to set the tone for the evening.
The banged-up Avalanche were missing forwards Darren Helm (upper body), Cogliano and Valeri Nichushkin (personal reasons), along with defenseman Josh Manson (lower body) in Game 7.
They’ve been without captain Gabriel Landeskog all season after he underwent knee surgery in October.
“Tough year overall," MacKinnon said. “Obviously, during the season, we’re going to say all of the right things, but it’s hard missing the guys. ... We played a really great game, just couldn’t find the back of the net.”

North Korea launches 2 ballistic missiles toward sea in protest of US-South Korea military drills
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea launched two short-range ballistic missiles toward its eastern waters on Thursday, the South Korean military said, in a resumption of its weapons testing activities to protest just-ended South Korean-U.S. live-fire drills, which it views as an invasion rehearsal.
The North Korean launch is its first since it failed in an attempt to put its first spy satellite into orbit in late May.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said it detected the North Korean launches from its capital region on Thursday evening. It said South Korea’s military boosted its surveillance posture and maintains readiness in close coordination with the United States.
Japan’s Defense Ministry also said it detected a possible ballistic missile fired by North Korea. Japan’s Coast Guard alerted vessels in waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan and the North Pacific seas, warning them to avoid falling objects. There were no immediate reports of damage to ships or aircraft.
The launch came hours after South Korean and U.S. troops ended a fifth round of large-scale live-fire drills near the Koreas’ heavily fortified border earlier Thursday. About 30 minutes before the launch, North Korea’s military also vowed an unspecified response to its rivals’ drills, which it called “provocative and irresponsible.”
“Our response to (the South Korean-U.S. drills) is inevitable,” an unidentified spokesperson of the North Korean Defense Ministry said in a statement carried by state media. “Our armed forces will fully counter any form of demonstrative moves and provocation of the enemies.”
Tensions have risen in past months as the pace of both North Korean weapons tests and U.S.-South Korea military exercises has increased in tit-for-tat responses. North Korea has test-fired about 100 missiles since the start of 2022.
On May 31, a North Korean long-range rocket carrying its first spy satellite crashed off the Korean Peninsula’s west coast. North Korea admitted to its failure and vowed to push for a second launch. A spy satellite is among a slew of high-tech weapons systems North Korean leader Kim Jong Un wants to introduce to cope with what he calls U.S. hostility.
“This launch is not to make up for the recent failure, because North Korea will almost certainly make another attempt later to put a spy satellite into orbit,” said Leif-Eric Easley, a professor at Ewha University in Seoul. “The message of today’s missiles is more likely Pyongyang’s protest against South Korea’s combined defense exercises with the United States, as well as a demonstration of North Korea’s own military capabilities and readiness.”
Thursday’s South Korean-U.S. exercises were the fifth and last round of live-fire drills that began last month. This year’s drills were the biggest of their kind since they began in 1977. Each of this year’s five rounds of drills involved 2,500 South Korean and U.S. troops and about 610 military assets including stealth fighter jets, attack helicopters, tanks and drones from both countries, according to the South Korean Defense Ministry.
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and other senior South Korean and U.S. military officials observed Thursday’s drills.
“Only a strong military — which can fight and defeat the enemy and which the enemy can’t even dare to challenge — can guarantee the freedom, peace and prosperity of the Republic of Korea,” Yoon said at the training site, using South Korea’s official name.
North Korea’s state media recently accused South Korea and the U.S. of using the firing drills to master “military threat and blackmail and war tactics” against North Korea.
On Thursday, top security officials from the United States, South Korea and Japan held trilateral talks in Tokyo.
The three officials engaged in discussions to tighten cooperation and coordinate more broadly with the international community to counter North Korean nuclear and missile activities, according to the South Korean presidential office.
U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan reiterated Washington’s commitment to the defense of South Korea and Japan, and the national security advisors discussed recent efforts to strengthen both alliances to the benefit of the region, the White House said in a statement.

Speedier drug approvals hit slowdown as FDA faces scrutiny
By MATTHEW PERRONE
AP Health Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) — Expedited drug approvals slowed this year as the Food and Drug Administration’s controversial accelerated pathway came under new scrutiny from Congress, government watchdogs and some of the agency’s own leaders.
With less than a month remaining in the year, the FDA’s drug center has granted 10 accelerated approvals — fewer than the tally in each of the last five years, when use of the program reached all-time highs.
The program allows drugs to launch in the U.S. based on promising early results, before they are proven to benefit patients.
Academics have long complained that the practice has resulted in a glut of expensive, unproven medications, particularly for cancer. But last year’s accelerated approval of a much-debated Alzheimer’s drug touched off a new round of criticism, including investigations of FDA’s decision making by federal inspectors and Congress.
A recent FDA hearing aimed at revoking approval from an unproven preterm birth drug further underscored the program’s shortcomings. FDA has been trying to get the drug, Makena, off the market for more than two years, because a follow-up study showed it didn’t benefit infants or mothers. The manufacturer has refused to cooperate.
Amid the latest controversy, FDA leaders have taken unprecedented steps suggesting a tougher stance on accelerated approval: nudging drugmakers to remove a growing list of unproven uses for drugs and asking Congress for new powers to expedite removals when companies balk.
Dr. Reshma Ramachandran, a Yale University researcher who supports congressional reforms, believes the recent scrutiny of the accelerated approval process “definitely led to them pausing and taking a different path.” Still, Ramachandran and other critics say it’s too early to tell if FDA’s recent actions reflect a longer-term policy shift.
An FDA spokeswoman said the agency’s posture on accelerated approval “has remained consistent and the agency is committed to ensuring the integrity of the program.” She added that FDA is using “every authority at our disposal” to make sure drugmakers quickly conduct confirmatory studies after approval.
Launched in 1992, the accelerated approval program is credited with speeding the availability of early breakthroughs for HIV and cancer. About 300 drug approvals have been made that way, nearly half of them in the last five years.
But researchers and government watchdogs have chronicled problems with FDA’s oversight, including delays in quickly removing drugs with failed or missing confirmatory studies. Federal inspectors recently found that 40% of accelerated approvals had incomplete confirmation studies.
The picture is beginning to change. In less than two years, the FDA has successfully called on drugmakers to remove more than 20 approvals from accelerated drugs — mainly cancer therapies — that failed to show a benefit. That’s more than half the withdrawals in the program’s history.
FDA’s cancer chief, Dr. Rick Pazdur, has referred to this effort of clawing back approvals as his “jihad.”
Several drugmakers recently declined FDA requests to voluntarily pull their drugs. That’s raised the specter of more long, onerous public hearings to force removal, a process Pazdur called “a nightmare.”
The ability to require drugmakers to have their studies underway before approval is one part of legislation that congressional lawmakers hope to attach to a massive, end-of-the-year spending bill. If passed, it would be the biggest overhaul in accelerated approval’s 30-year history.
“We need more teeth in terms of getting the confirmatory trials started before accelerated approval,” FDA Commissioner Robert Califf said at a recent cancer conference. “Once approval occurs it’s very difficult to hold back the marketeers.”
FDA regulators are already testing out the approach. Increasingly, the agency is telling drugmakers they must have their confirmation studies underway before approval.
“We know the FDA has raised the bar for accelerated approval, and so that’s why we’re seeking additional clarity on their position,” Mike Sherman, CEO of startup Chimerix, told investors on a recent call discussing the company’s plans for an upcoming cancer drug.
A higher bar could spell trouble for smaller drugmakers, who often rely on accelerated approval to gain a market foothold before raising additional funds.
To be sure, FDA approval trends are impacted by a variety of forces. The agency’s overall tally of novel drugs is down markedly this year at about 30, compared with 50 last year. And even the recent peak in use of the accelerated pathway — 45 approvals in 2020 — reflected several trends.
Drugmakers have been aggressively pursuing a new class of “immunotherapies” that help the body recognize and attack cancer. The FDA has granted more than 80 uses for those drugs since 2015, pushing up annual accelerated approval tallies.
Additionally, COVID-19 pandemic disruptions forced some drugmakers to cut short their research plans, asking FDA for accelerated approval based on partially completed studies, instead of a full results.
“There was a lot of reinterpretation of the FDA rules to make sure those companies could proceed, otherwise they would have lost billions of dollars,” said Sam Kay, a consultant with Clarivate, which advises pharmaceutical companies.
It’s a reminder of how much flexibility the FDA has.
Many of the reforms pending in Congress “are things the FDA could do now,” notes Ramachandran.
“I think having Congress do it gives them the cover and blessing to carry forward with what they want to do,” she said.

By CHRISTOPHER RUGABER (AP Economics Writer)
WASHINGTON (AP) — America’s employers added a solid 223,000 jobs in December, evidence that the economy remains healthy even as the Federal Reserve is rapidly raising interest rates to try to slow economic growth and the pace of hiring.
With companies continuing to add jobs across the economy, the unemployment rate fell from 3.6% to 3.5%, matching a 53-year low, the Labor Department said Friday.
All told, the December jobs report suggested that the labor market may be cooling in a way that could aid the Fed’s fight against high inflation. Last month’s gain was the smallest in two years, and it extended a hiring slowdown that began last year. And average hourly pay growth eased to its slowest pace in 16 months. That slowdown could reduce pressure on employers to raise prices to offset their higher labor costs.
Average wage growth was up 4.6% in December from 12 months earlier, compared with a recent peak of 5.6% in March. And in the past three months, job gains have averaged 247,000 — a decent pace but well below 2022’s monthly average of 375,000.
“If these trends continue, we can feel more and more confident that the strength of this labor market is sustainable,” said Nick Bunker, head of economic research at the online job site Indeed’s Hiring Lab. “The outlook for next year is uncertain, but many signs point toward a soft landing,” rather than a feared recession.
Traders on Wall Street appeared encouraged by the jobs report’s suggestion of milder pay growth. Stock prices rose sharply.
At the same time, December’s hiring figures don’t necessarily make the Fed’s path forward any clearer. The pace of job gains is still strong enough to keep lowering the unemployment rate, which, in turn, could keep pay growth high. Lisa Cook, a member of the Fed’s Board of Governors, said in a speech Friday that “inflation is far too high” and “of great concern,” though she also noted that wage growth “has indeed started to decelerate.”
Other recent data also point to a cooling economy: A measure of business activity in services, including finance, restaurants and transportation, contracted in December for the first time since 2020. A similar measure for manufacturing also shrank last month.
And a near-doubling of mortgage rates this year has sent home sales tumbling for 10 straight months.
Last month’s job gains capped a second straight year of robust hiring during which the nation regained all 22 million jobs it lost to the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet the rapid hiring and the hefty pay raises that accompanied it likely contributed to a spike in prices that catapulted inflation to its highest level in 40 years.
The picture for 2023 is much cloudier. Many economists foresee a recession in the second half of the year, a consequence of the Fed’s succession of sharp rate hikes. The central bank’s officials have projected that those increases will cause the unemployment rate to reach 4.6% by year’s end.
Though the Fed’s higher rates have begun to cool inflation from its summertime peak, they’ve also made mortgages, auto loans and other consumer and business borrowing more expensive.
For now at least, the pace of hiring is showing surprising resilience in the face of higher interest rates across the economy. One recent beneficiary is Ethan Edwards of Oklahoma City, who accepted a job offer last month after having looked around for nearly a year.
Edwards, 41, had taken his time because he was picky: He already had a job in local broadcasting, where he worked in marketing. But he wanted to find a position in a new industry in which he could work from home while avoiding a pay cut.
The strong job market eventually delivered. A recruiting firm, Aquent, connected Edwards to a digital marketing company, where he now leads strategic planning.
“So far,” he said, “every step of the way has been awesome.”
Among industries, the largest job gains last month were in health care, which added 74,000. Leisure and hospitality, a category includes restaurants, hotels, and entertainment, gained nearly as much: 67,000.
Retailers added 9,000, transportation and warehousing companies nearly 5,000. Construction companies added 28,000 — a surprisingly large gain considering that higher borrowing rates are dragging down residential and commercial real estate.
Many of those jobs were part-time positions. That trend suggests that as inflation began to accelerate, some people took on second jobs to help keep up with rising costs.
Bill Adams, chief economist at Comerica Bank, noted that the December jobs report showed that roughly 80% of people who found jobs last month took part-time work, which typically pays less than full-time jobs. That is likely one reason why wage growth has been slowing.
President Joe Biden suggested Friday that the continuing job gains were, in part, a reflection of his policies, in which the government supplied vast aid during the pandemic to boost hiring and then added spending on infrastructure, computer chips, manufacturing and other areas to support business investment.
“It’s a good time to be a worker in America,” Biden said in a statement. “We still have work to do to bring down inflation.”
Jared Bernstein, a top economic adviser to Biden, said the administration is still hoping for growth in inflation-adjusted wages.
“What’s important to us is that families have the buying power through their paychecks to get ahead,” Bernstein said
Some companies, notably restaurants and hotels, are still scrambling to regain jobs lost to the pandemic. Among them is HMSHost, which operates 990 airport restaurants in North America under 350 different brands. The company is looking to hire 100 workers to help staff new restaurants that will open in the coming weeks.
Laura E. FitzRandolph, the chief human resources officer, said the company expects demand for travel to remain strong in 2023.
“We’re not slowing down in our hiring efforts or our business at all,” she said.
HMSHost hired roughly 23,000 people last year as the company desperately tried to staff up after laying off 90% of their workers during COVID-19 shutdowns. FitzRandolph said many job applicants had failed to show up for interviews. But in recent months, the company is seeing more people apply for openings, and those applicants are more likely to appear for interviews.
“It’s becoming somewhat easier to find people to work in the restaurant industry,” she said.
In June, year-over-year inflation had reached 9.1%, the highest level in 40 years, before slowing to 7.1% in November. Last year, in an aggressive drive to reduce inflation back toward its 2% goal, the Fed raised its benchmark rate seven times.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell has emphasized in recent remarks that consistently strong job growth, which can force employers to raise pay to find and keep workers, can perpetuate inflation: Companies often raise prices to pass on their higher labor costs to their customers. And higher pay typically fuels more consumer spending, which can keep inflation elevated.
For that reason, Powell and other Fed officials have signaled their belief that to tame inflation, unemployment will have to rise from its current low level.
Technology companies have been laying off workers for months, with some, including Amazon, saying that they had hired too many people during the pandemic. Amazon has boosted its layoffs to 18,000 from an earlier announcement of 10,000. Cloud software provider Salesforce says it will cut 10% of its workers. And Facebook’s parent company Meta says it will shed 11,000.
Yet outside of high tech, smaller companies, in particular, are still hiring. According to the payroll processor ADP, companies with more than 500 employees cut jobs in December, while businesses below that threshold added many more workers. And an analysis by investment bank Jefferies showed that small companies were posting a historically high proportion of job openings.

WIEJKOWO, Poland (AP) — More than 1,000 years after his death in what is now Poland, a European king whose nickname lives on through wireless technology is at the center of an archaeological dispute.
Chronicles from the Middle Ages say King Harald “Bluetooth” Gormsson of Denmark acquired his nickname courtesy of a tooth, probably dead, that looked bluish. One chronicle from the time also says the Viking king was buried in Roskilde, in Denmark, in the late 10th century.
But a Swedish archaeologist and a Polish researcher recently claimed in separate publications that they have pinpointed his most probable burial site in the village of Wiejkowo, in an area of northwestern Poland that had ties to the Vikings in Harald’s times.
Marek Kryda, author of the book “Viking Poland,” told The Associated Press that a “pagan mound” which he claims he has located beneath Wiejkowo’s 19th-century Roman Catholic church probably holds the king’s remains. Kryda said geological satellite images available on a Polish government portal revealed a rotund shape that looked like a Viking burial mound.
But Swedish archaeologist Sven Rosborn, says Kryda is wrong because Harald, who converted from paganism to Christianity and founded churches in the area, must have received an appropriate grave somewhere in the churchyard. Wiejkowo’s Church of The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary stands atop a small round knoll.
Historians at the Danish National Museum in Copenhagen say they are familiar with the “suggestion” that Wiejkowo is Harald’s burial place.
Rosborn detailed his research in the 2021 book ”The Viking King’s Golden Treasure” and Kryda challenged some of the Swede’s findings in his own book published this year.
Harald, who died in 985, probably in Jomsborg — which is believed to be the Polish town of Wolin now — was one of the last Viking kings to rule over what is now Denmark, northern Germany, and parts of Sweden and Norway. He spread Christianity in his kingdom.
Swedish telecommunications company Ericsson named its Bluetooth wireless link technology after the king, reflecting how he united much of Scandinavia during his lifetime. The logo for the technology is designed from the Scandinavian runic letters for the king’s initials, HB.
Rosborn, the former director of Sweden’s Malmo City Museum, was spurred on his quest in 2014 when an 11-year-old girl sought his opinion about a small, soiled coin-like object with old-looking text that had been in her family’s possession for decades.
Experts have determined that the cast gold disc that sparked Maja Sielski’s curiosity dated from the 10th century. The Latin inscription on what is now known as the “Curmsun disc” says: “Harald Gormsson (Curmsun in Latin) king of Danes, Scania, Jomsborg, town Aldinburg.”
Sielski’s family, who moved to Sweden from Poland in 1986, said the disc came from a trove found in 1841 in a tomb underneath the Wiejkowo church, which replaced a medieval chapel.
The Sielski family came into the possession of the disc, along with the Wiejkowo parish archives that contained medieval parchment chronicles in Latin, in 1945 as the former German area was becoming part of Poland as a result of World War II.
A family member who knew Latin understood the value of the chronicles — which dated as far back as the 10th century — and translated some of them into Polish. They mention Harald, another fact linking the Wiejkowo church to him.
The nearby Baltic Sea island and town of Wolin cultivates the region’s Viking history: it has a runic stone in honor of Harald Bluetooth and holds annual festivals of Slavs and Vikings.
Kryda says the Curmsun disc is “phenomenal” with its meaningful inscription and insists that it would be worth it to examine Wiejkowo as Harald’s burial place, but there are no current plans for any excavations. | 2022-07-31T20:07:28+00:00 | fox59.com | https://fox59.com/news/ap-top-headlines/is-danish-king-who-gave-name-to-bluetooth-buried-in-poland/ |
Hilton’s quick hit with Cowboys may be spark for larger role
FRISCO, Texas (AP) — T.Y. Hilton took his time before settling on Dallas in free agency after the receiver’s 10-year run with Indianapolis ended.
The 33-year-old wasted little time making an impact for the Cowboys, his first catch from Dak Prescott a 52-yarder on third-and-30 in last week’s 40-34 victory over Philadelphia.
The game-altering grab in the fourth quarter with Dallas trailing by a touchdown could quicken the process of getting the speedy receiver acclimated with the Cowboys as the playoffs loom.
“Coaches have been telling me since I signed here they were going to be taking it slow, be on a pitch count,” Hilton said. “Whenever they’re ready to turn me loose, I’ll be ready.”
Hilton debuted for Dallas 12 days after signing, sitting the first game at Jacksonville before playing on Christmas Eve against the Eagles.
It’s not a stretch to say Hilton’s first Dallas catch kept Philadelphia from clinching the top seed in the NFC, since it sparked a 13-0 finish for the Cowboys in the last half of the fourth quarter.
The victory kept the defending NFC East champion Cowboys (11-4) alive in the division race for a visit to Tennessee (7-8) on Thursday night. The Eagles can clinch the bye and the division with a victory over New Orleans on Sunday.
For now, the 52-yarder caught in stride on a go-route is Hilton’s only catch, and came on one of his 12 plays. Both those numbers should go up, and maybe quickly.
“Trust,” Prescott said of what his first connection with Hilton could mean. “Some could say it could be dangerous in the sense. But a guy that goes out there is able to make that play and knowing that he’s gonna make that play or it’s gonna be an incompletion, just that confidence.”
Hilton had planned to sign with a team for training camp after 9,743 yards receiving with 53 touchdowns and four Pro Bowls with the Colts.
When that didn’t happen, Hilton slowed things down to spend time with family and wait for the right opportunity. He said the phone calls picked up about two weeks before he chose Dallas.
The Cowboys had a high-profile pursuit of free agent Odell Beckham Jr., who tore an ACL while winning the Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams last February. Hilton signed within days of Beckham’s Dallas visit ending without a deal.
“It was all there,” owner/general manager Jerry Jones said of Hilton’s debut. “His experience, his speed, to turn around and make that play, that’s exactly what he thought he could get a chance to do. He’ll add a dimension to this thing that just opens it up a little more.”
Hilton adds a dimension to the Tennessee game as a former longtime AFC South opponent of the Titans. Suffice to say there will information sharing on both sides, with an uncommon opponent on a short week.
“It definitely helps as we prep, but it doesn’t help that he’s still an explosive receiver and can go out there and catch bombs out there,” Tennessee safety Kevin Byard said. “We know what he can do.”
Byard made sure to mention No. 1 receiver CeeDee Lamb, who has four 100-yard games in the past seven in his first season as Prescott’s top target.
Lamb had two touchdowns against the Eagles, and Michael Gallup’s toe-tapping sideline catch in the end zone was a big play as well. Both could benefit from a larger role for Hilton.
“You believe in the guy who says this is what he’s gonna do because he went out there and proved it before,” Prescott said. “That’s just a veteran who knows the system, who knows football, who’s been around.”
NOTES: LB Micah Parsons was listed as limited for a walkthrough practice Tuesday with a right hand injury. The hand was wrapped, but Parsons said there wasn’t a fracture. … RB Tony Pollard, who just made his first Pro Bowl, missed practice with a thigh injury, but Jones said on his radio show he expected Pollard to play.

TALLINN, Estonia >> In a dusty workshop in northern Lithuania, a dozen men are transforming hundreds of wheel rims into potbelly stoves to warm Ukrainians huddled in trenches and bomb shelters. As the sparks subside, one welder marks the countertop: 36 made that day. Hours later, they’ve reached 60.
People from across Lithuania send old wheel rims to the volunteers gathering weekly in Siauliai, the Baltic country’s fourth-largest city. Two cars loaded with wood stoves wait outside the workshop ahead of the long night drive south.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine last February, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia — three states on NATO’s eastern flank scarred by decades of Soviet-era occupation — have been among the top donors to Kyiv.
Linas Kojala, director of the Europe Studies Center in Lithuania’s capital Vilnius, said Ukraine’s successful resistance “is a matter of existential importance” to the Baltic countries, which share its experience of Russian rule.
“Not only political elites, but entire societies are involved in supporting Ukraine,” Kojala told the AP.
In Siauliai, Edgaras Liakavicius said his team has sent about 600 stoves to Ukraine.
“Everybody here … understands the situation of every man, every soldier, the conditions they live in now in Ukraine,” Liakavicius, who works for a local metal processing plant, told the AP.
Jaana Ratas, who heads an effort in Tallinn, Estonia to make camouflage nets for Ukrainian soldiers, echoed his words.
“My family and most Estonians, they still remember (the Soviet occupation),” she said.
Ratas chose a symbolic location for her project. Five days a week, Estonian and Ukrainian women gather at Tallinn’s Museum of Occupations and Freedom to weave the nets from donated fabrics.
Lyudmila Likhopud, a 76-year-old refugee from Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region, said the work has lifted her out of depression.
“I started feeling that I can be useful,” she told the AP.
In Latvia’s capital of Riga, Anzhela Kazakova — who ran a furniture store in the Black Sea port of Odesa — is one of 30 Ukrainian refugees working for Atlas Aerospace, a drone manufacturer that has supplied more than 300 kits to the Ukrainian army.
Ivan Tolchinsky, Atlas Aerospace’s founder and CEO, grew up in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region, held by Kremlin-backed separatists since 2014. He had long petitioned both the EU and Ukraine to supply drones to Kyiv’s forces fighting the separatists. Final permission arrived a day before Moscow’s full-scale invasion, he said.
Atlas Aerospace has since increased production 20-fold, Tolchinsky said, and is planning to open a site in Ukraine despite withering Russian strikes on infrastructure.
Tolchinsky’s drones are just some of the weapons flowing to Kyiv from its Baltic allies. Together with their southern neighbor Poland — another NATO and European Union member with a history of Soviet oppression — the three small states rank among the biggest donors per gross domestic product helping Ukraine.
Lithuania, with a mere 2.8 million inhabitants, was the first country to send Stinger air defense missiles, according to Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov.
One of the latest Lithuanian initiatives is a crowdfunding drive to help Ukraine defend itself against Russian drones and missiles. Launched in late January, it initially aimed to raise 5 million euros by the Feb. 24 first anniversary of the invasion. That goal was reached within weeks, and organizers have since doubled it as donations keep flowing.
One fundraising group has grown into a major player that participates in international tenders purchasing military equipment for Kyiv.
“We have expanded 10 times in less than a year. (We used to supply) five drones in one batch, but now it’s 50 or more,” said Jonas Ohman, founder of the nongovernmental organization Blue/Yellow. The group recently won a bid for military optics, edging out rivals including the Indian military, and clinched a contract with an Israeli company for multi-purpose high sensitivity radars for Kyiv.
“It’s entirely another level now,” Ohman said.
In Poland, millions of zlotys have been raised to fund everything from advanced weapons to treating the wounded. Backed by over 220,000 contributors, journalist Slawomir Sierakowski was able to gather almost 25 million zlotys ($5.6 million) to buy an advanced Bayraktar drone for Ukraine.
Ohman, the head of the Lithuanian NGO, drew parallels between his compatriots’ readiness to help Kyiv and local partisan movements fighting Soviet rule after World War II.
“It is about personal responsibility in tough times,” he said. “Just like in 1945 when (the) Soviets returned, the government was gone, but the struggle for freedom continued in the woods for years.” | 2023-02-18T11:50:27+00:00 | staradvertiser.com | https://www.staradvertiser.com/2023/02/18/breaking-news/in-baltics-poland-grassroots-groups-strive-to-help-ukraine/ |
Kurds remain biggest winners from US-led invasion of Iraq
IRBIL, Iraq (AP) — Complexes of McMansions, fast food restaurants, real estate offices and half-constructed high-rises line wide highways in Irbil, the seat of the semi-autonomous Kurdish region in northern Iraq.
Many members of the political and business elite live in a suburban gated community dubbed the American Village, where homes sell for as much as $5 million, with lush gardens consuming more than a million liters of water a day in the summer.
The visible opulence is a far cry from 20 years ago. Back then, Irbil was a backwater provincial capital without even an airport.
That rapidly changed after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq that toppled Saddam Hussein. Analysts say that Iraqi Kurds — and particularly the Kurdish political class — were the biggest beneficiaries in a conflict that had few winners.
That’s despite the fact that for ordinary Kurds, the benefits of the new order have been tempered by corruption and power struggles between the two major Kurdish parties and between Irbil and Baghdad, the Iraqi capital.
In the wake of the invasion, much of Iraq fell into chaos, as occupying American forces fought an insurgency and as multiple political and sectarian communities vied to fill the power vacuum left in Baghdad. But the Kurds, seen as staunch allies of the Americans, strengthened their political position and courted foreign investments.
Irbil quickly grew into an oil-fueled boom town. Two years later, the city opened a new domestic commercial airport, constructed with Turkish funds, followed a few years after that by an international airport.
Traditionally, the “Kurdish narrative is one of victimhood and one of grievances,” said Bilal Wahab, a fellow at the Washington Institute think tank. But in Iraq since 2003, “that is not the Kurdish story. The story is one of power and empowerment.”
With the Ottoman Empire’s collapse after World War I, the Kurds were promised an independent homeland in the 1920 Treaty of Sevres. But the treaty was never ratified, and “Kurdistan” was carved up. Since then, there have been Kurdish rebellions in Iran, Iraq and Turkey, while in Syria, Kurds have clashed with Turkish-backed forces.
In Iraq, the Kurdish region won de facto self-rule in 1991, when the United States imposed a no-fly zone over it in response to Saddam’s brutal repression of Kurdish uprisings.
“We had built our own institutions, the parliament, the government,” said Hoshyar Zebari, a top official with the Kurdistan Democratic Party who served as foreign minister in Iraq’s first post-Saddam government. “Also, we had our own civil war. But we overcame that,” he said, referring to fighting between rival Kurdish factions in the mid-1990s.
Speaking in an interview at his palatial home in Masif, a former resort town in the mountains above Irbil that is now home to much of the KDP leadership, Zabari added, “The regime change in Baghdad has brought a lot of benefits to this region.”
Iraqi President Abdul Latif Rashid, from the rival Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, also gave a glowing assessment of the post-2003 developments. The Kurds, he said, had aimed for “a democratic Iraq, and at the same time some sort of … self-determination for the Kurdish people.”
With the U.S. overthrow of Saddam, he said, “We achieved that … We became a strong group in Baghdad.”
The post-invasion constitution codified the Kurdish region’s semi-independent status, while an informal power-sharing arrangement now stipulates that Iraq’s president is always a Kurd, the prime minister a Shiite and the parliament speaker a Sunni.
But even in the Kurdish region, the legacy of the invasion is complicated. The two major Kurdish parties have jockeyed for power, while Irbil and Baghdad have been at odds over territory and the sharing of oil revenues.
Meanwhile, Arabs in the Kurdish region and minorities, including the Turkmen and Yazidis, feel sidelined in the new order, as do Kurds without ties to one of the two key parties that serve as gatekeepers to opportunities in the Kurdish region.
As the economic boom has stagnated in recent years, due to both domestic issues and global economic trends, an increasing number of Kurdish youths are leaving the country in search of better opportunities. According to the International Labor Organization, 19.2% of men and 38% of women aged 15-24 were unemployed and out of school in Irbil province in 2021.
Wahab said Irbil’s post-2003 economic success has also been qualified by widespread waste and patronage in the public sector.
“The corruption in the system is really undermining the potential,” he said.
In Kirkuk, an oil-rich city inhabited by a mixed population of Kurds, Turkmen and Sunni Arabs where Baghdad and Irbil have vied for control, Kahtan Vendavi, local head of the Iraqi Turkmen Front party, complained that the American forces’ “support was very clear for the Kurdish parties” after the 2003 invasion.
Turkmen are the third largest ethnic group in Iraq, with an estimated 3 million people, but hold no high government positions and only a handful of parliamentary seats.
In Kirkuk, the Americans “appointed a governor of Kurdish nationality to manage the province. Important departments and security agencies were handed over to Kurdish parties,” Vendavi said.
Some Kurdish groups also lost out in the post-2003 order, which consolidated the power of the two major parties.
Ali Bapir, head of the Kurdistan Justice Group, a Kurdish Islamist party, said the two ruling parties “treat people who do not belong to (them) as third- and fourth-class citizens.”
Bapir has other reasons to resent the U.S. incursion. Although he had fought against the rule of Saddam’s Baath Party, the U.S. forces who arrived in 2003 accused him and his party of ties to extremist groups. Soon after the invasion, the U.S. bombed his party’s compound and then arrested Bapir and imprisoned him for two years.
Kurds not involved in the political sphere have other, mainly economic, concerns.
Picnicking with her mother and sister and a pair of friends at the sprawling Sami Abdul Rahman Park, built on what was once a military base under Saddam, 40-year-old Tara Chalabi acknowledged that the “security and safety situation is excellent here.”
But she ticked off a list of other grievances, including high unemployment, the end of subsidies from the regional government for heating fuel and frequent delays and cuts in the salaries of public employees like her.
“Now there is uncertainty if they will pay this month,” she said.
Nearby, a group of university students said they are hoping to emigrate.
“Working hard, before, was enough for you to succeed in life,” said a 22-year-old who gave only her first name, Gala. “If you studied well and you got good grades … you would have a good opportunity, a good job. But now it’s very different. You must have connections.”
In 2021, hundreds of Iraqi Kurds rushed to Belarus in hopes of crossing into Poland or other neighboring EU countries. Belarus at the time was readily handing out tourist visas in an apparent attempt to pressure the European Union by creating a wave of migrants.
Those who went, Wahab said, were from the middle class, able to afford plane tickets and smuggler fees.
“To me, it’s a sign that it’s not about poverty,” he said. “It’s basically about the younger generation of Kurds who don’t really see a future for themselves in this region anymore.”

(The Hill) – President Biden on Saturday congratulated King Charles III and Queen Camilla on their coronation, saying he is pleased that first lady Jill Biden could be present in the United Kingdom to join them for the ceremony.
“Congratulations to King Charles III and Queen Camilla on their Coronation. The enduring friendship between the U.S. and the U.K. is a source of strength for both our peoples. I am proud the First Lady is representing the United States for this historic occasion,” Biden tweeted.
The president did not attend the event as U.S. presidents have traditionally not attended the coronations of British monarchs, but the first lady led the U.S. delegation.
“It’s an honor to represent the United States for this historic moment and celebrate the special relationship between our countries,” she said in an Instagram post on Thursday upon arriving in the country.
Buckingham Palace had said international representatives from 203 countries, including about 100 heads of state, were expected to attend.
The president spoke with Charles last month to congratulate him on the upcoming coronation and emphasize the relationship between the United States and United Kingdom. He also told the king that he wants to meet in person at a future date.
Jill Biden met and took a picture with Kate, Princess of Wales, and Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska after she arrived.
President Dwight Eisenhower did not attend the coronation of Charles’ mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in 1953, but also sent a delegation to represent the United States. Elizabeth died after a 70-year rule in September, ending the longest reign in British history.
The president and first lady attended her funeral. | 2023-05-06T15:37:49+00:00 | fox59.com | https://fox59.com/news/national-world/biden-congratulates-king-charles-queen-camilla-on-their-coronation/ |
TOKYO (AP) — Sapporo officials and the Japanese Olympic Committee are “reviewing” the promotion of their bid to land the 2030 Winter Games, news agency Kyodo reported Tuesday.
Kyodo gave few details and neither Sapporo officials nor the Japanese Olympic Committee could be immediately reached for comment. Kyodo did not indicate that officials had entirely scrapped the bid.
The Sapporo bid has been battered by a corruption scandal surrounding the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Sapporo had been considered the favorite for 2030, with Salt Lake City seen as the leader to land 2034.
The governor of the Hokkaido prefecture, Naomichi Suzuki, said last week that the scandal had been a blow to Sapporo’s chances.
The International Olympic Committee announced earlier this month that it might delay announcing a 2030 venue until 2024. It has been expected to make that announcement next year.
The IOC has also said it might award the 2030 and 2034 host cities at the same time.
With Sapporo looking less likely, Salt Lake City is the only known candidate. Vancouver appears to be out as a candidate after the provincial government of British Columbia said in October it would not fund a bid.
The 2026 Winter Olympics will be held in Milan-Cortina.
Support for the bid in Sapporo seems to be split, but city officials have declined to hold a public referendum. Public votes on funding the Olympics have consistently failed.
Salt Lake City has said it would prefer 2034, partly because it does not want to clash for sponsorships with the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
In 2015, the IOC had only two candidates for the 2022 Winter Olympics — Beijing and Almaty, Kazakhstan. It chose Beijing by four votes.
The Winter Olympics are becoming an increasingly difficult sell for the IOC, which has said it is concerned their are fewer “climate-reliable” cities able to hold the Games.
Sapporo, Salt Lake City and Vancouver have each held previous Winter Olympics.

Ever since Ursula K. Le Guin and Edward Abbey lit the fuse back in the 1970s, there's been an ever-growing explosion of political eco-fiction. From Octavia Butler and Richard Powers to Amitav Ghosh and Margaret Atwood, novelists have gotten more and more fascinated with those who fight to save the environment.
One such group occupies the center of Birnam Wood, the whooshingly enjoyable new novel by Eleanor Catton, a New Zealander whose previous book, The Luminaries, made her, at 28, still the youngest person ever to win the Booker Prize. Where that 2013 novel was a wild-and-woolly beast, Birnam Wood — its title comes from Macbeth — is shapelier and more conventional. Filled with utopian hopes, personal betrayals, accidental deaths and profoundly unaccidental murders, this New Zealand-set book is a witty literary thriller about the collision between eco-idealism and staggering wealth.
The story begins by introducing three 20-something members of Birnam Wood, a guerrilla collective that seeks to fight capitalism and ecological devastation by, legally or not, growing things on unplanted land, public and private. There's Mira, the group's willful and charismatic founder. There's her burnt-out sidekick, Shelley, who does the grunt work and secretly wants to quit the group. And then there's Tony, the most radical thinker of the bunch who has returned to the group after several years abroad. He has romantic hopes for himself and Mira — hopes that Shelley quietly hopes to sink.
Mira hears about an unoccupied farm owned by Sir Owen Darvish and his wife Jill, who embody the solidity and complacency of well-off Kiwis. Mira thinks it perfect for a Birnam Wood project. But when she drives there from Christchurch, she discovers that it's been bought by Robert Lemoine, an elusive American billionaire/drone manufacturer who says he plans to build a survivalist bunker. Attracted to Mira, Lemoine offers to help finance Birnam Wood. Because her group badly needs money, she's interested. But will a rich benefactor's money help the group spread its message — or corrupt it?
While Catton has sympathy for the grand idealism of the Birnam Wood collective, she also sees its fault lines. Indeed, the book's at its best taking us inside the characters' heads to lay bare the illusions, desires and petty motivations that often work against their dreams. For instance, Mira emerges as something of a modern-day version of Jane Austen's Emma — Catton actually scripted a 2020 film adaptation of that novel. Mira's sense of political righteousness blinds her to her own motivations. The disaffected Shelley accuses her of "rebelling for the sake of it, like she had always done, acting as though the rules that bound the little people were just too tiresome and ordinary to apply to her."
Working in the tradition of the 19th-century novel — one hears echoes of George Eliot as well as Austen — Catton likes to confront her characters with choices and then lay bare the consequences, often unintended, of what they've chosen. There's a great, lacerating scene in which Tony, a world-class mansplainer, falls out of favor with the group by attacking identity politics and intersectionality. Because of this split, he will wind up spying on Lemoine — a move that sends the plot caroming in a wild new direction.
You see, while our heroes in the collective are muddling their way through ordinary human issues, they're faced with a villain from a 21st-century thriller. Lemoine isn't merely an amoral billionaire with all the compassion of one of his drones. He's a high-tech bad guy, complete with NSA-level spyware and mercenaries to do his bidding. Too bad to be true, he's so skillful at wielding his malignancy that, in spite of herself, Catton seems to hold him in a kind of awe.
Normally, it would be an artistic flaw that realistic characters like Mira, Shelley, Tony and the Darvishes must confront such a comic-book baddie, and I guess it is here: What starts off looking like a novel about character winds up in a climax out of a genre novel. Yet the story plays like gangbusters: I devoured all 400-plus pages in two days.
And in showing the collective's encounter with Lemoine, Catton taps into a feeling very much of our moment. We live at a time when many environmentalists feel helpless next to mega-rich forces who seem able to despoil the planet as they wish and to avoid any governmental attempts to check them. In Birnam Wood, we see the consequences of this gap in power, and the results are not pretty.

Highland Park’s marijuana ordinance has prompted several lawsuits and disputes between city officials.
Three new Highland Park City Council members who were elected to bring fresh ideas to the financially struggling city have found themselves stuck in a virtual loop of mayoral vetoes, internal pushback, and insults.
On Monday, they finally had enough and walked out of a council meeting, leaving the other two elected members without a quorum to proceed.
“This is crazy,” Councilman Khursheed Ash-Shafii, one of the three members who walked out, tells
Metro Times. “You can’t make this shit up. Steven King is one of the most talented people in the world, and even he couldn’t make this up.”
Much of the conflict began when the trio tried to amend what they say is
a problematic, unlawful cannabis ordinance that fails to ensure community benefits, gives sole authority to the clerk to dole out licenses, and exposes the city to costly litigation.
The ordinance led to several lawsuits against the city after the previous council passed it in 2020.
Mayor Glenda McDonald has vetoed every attempt by the council to amend the ordinance, and when council members tried to hire their own attorney, she vetoed that too.
Frustrated by what he considers an abuse of McDonald’s veto power, Councilman Ash-Shafii sent an email on May 11 to the city’s attorney requesting a legal opinion on the issue. Instead of getting a response from legal counsel, council President Jamal Thomas sent a series of condescending emails to Ash-Shafii, suggesting he and his colleagues weren’t smart enough to figure out their jobs.
Ash-Shafii says the emails were “insulting and degrading and disrespectful.”
Thomas also encouraged the city’s attorney not to respond to Ash-Shafii’s questions and suggested the matter should be hashed out in court — an unusual and potentially costly proposal for an impoverished city on the brink of bankruptcy.
“Its time to take these and other matters before a judge in open court,” Thomas wrote in a series of emails obtained by
Metro Times. “I have retained my own legal representation, and await pending claims. Enough is enough.”
The internal squabbles couldn’t come at a worse time. The city of fewer than 9,000 residents faces a $19 million unpaid water bill to the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA). If the debt isn’t handled by the end of the month, the burden may fall on residents, whose property taxes could be tripled.
In another email, Thomas wrote to Ash-Shafii, “Congratulations on passing the 3rd grade. We all knew you could do it!”
Thomas also took aim at Councilwoman Kallela Martin, who proposed amending the cannabis ordinance. He suggested Martin didn’t understand municipal government enough to write the ordinance herself.
“How one can progress to authoring a legal ordinance in March, and take public office with no knowledge of what a parliamentarian is on January second of this year should be fleshed out in open court,” Thomas wrote.
Martin said the remark was sexist and unprofessional and asked Thomas for an apology. When he refused, she and the other two council members walked out of Monday’s meeting in protest.
“I want the same respect as a man, and I was taking a stand for any female who has either been silenced or couldn’t use her voice or couldn’t be heard,” Martin tells
Metro Times. “That’s what I was doing. I deserve respect. There was a need to be heard.”
In an email to
Metro Times, Thomas declined to comment and then wrote, “You are being used as a ‘cats paw’ sir. Sadly, you are being taken on the same fools errand that the other media interests have been mislead [sic] by.”
In a follow-up email, Thomas copied his personal attorney “so we can communicate freely and can all reach each other after you post your story.”
Meanwhile, the three council members are still waiting for a response from the city’s attorney. They contend the mayor is abusing her veto authority, making it impossible for them to fully execute their duties as the legislative branch. They also argue that the city charter only allows the mayor to veto ordinances and resolutions, not amendments or motions such as hiring of an outside attorney.
Robert Davis, a Highland Park activist, filed a lawsuit against the city earlier this month, arguing that the cannabis ordinance “is void and unenforceable because it was not enacted in accordance with the Michigan Zoning and Enabling Act,” he tells
Metro Times.
Davis alleges the past council members “were set to benefit from the unlawful ordinance,” saying their campaigns were funded by prospective marijuana applicants.
He says the past council was “corrupt” and approved the ordinance without the required public hearings, and the Planning Commission failed to recommend the ordinance, which is required by state law.
“It quite obviously was a foolish process,” Davis says. “I applaud the three council members who are attempting to amend it so it can be done the correct way.”
Davis says he suspects Martin is obstructing the amendments because he’s part of a group that purchased
the old Liberty School, which the marijuana ordinance designated as an area for cannabis businesses to open.
Despite the lawsuit, the city recently began accepting applications for cannabis businesses, which Davis says puts the city in additional legal peril.
Since the three council members can’t get a legal opinion on mayoral vetoes, Davis is considering filing a lawsuit against the city so a judge “can provide clear direction” on vetoes.
“The council president cannot stop the city attorney from providing legal advice to the rest of the council,” Davis says. “This nonsense has to stop. It’s petty, stupid politics.”
Martin says she wants to get past the confrontations so she can do her job.
“I really want Highland Park to move forward, and I don’t know why we’re at a standstill,” Martin says. “People are ready for change.”

Ashton Kutcher is impressed with Kim Kardashian's running ability. In a sneak peek clip for his new Peloton series, Our Future Selves, Kutcher and Kardashian go for a run with Peloton instructor Robin Arzón as part of the actor's training for the 2022 TCS New York City Marathon.
"Excitement level, I'm at, like, 11 today. My friend, Kim, is here. I'm really, really stoked to have a conversation with her," Ashton says, before noting to Kim, "You don't even run."
"I do not," she confirms.
Without putting any of her long blonde hair up, Kim then shows that despite not having a background as a runner, she is still giving the workout her all.
"You are literally running a seven-minute mile pace. What's happening right now?" Kutcher asks, breathless. "I don't even understand."
Kim, who is known for her intensive workouts, later says that she plans to incorporate running into her routines in the future.
"I think this is what I'm missing in my workout," she says. "So it's been inspiring and a little bit life changing on how I'm going to move forward with my routine."
The episode will be featured on the Peloton Tread and the Peloton app on Sept. 6.
ET spoke exclusively with Kutcher about the series and how his focus on running has changed his body.
“The biggest change physically has been the transfer of muscle mass from upper body to lower body. I’ve lost about 12 pounds,” he recently told ET, while noting that “my wife [Mila Kunis] has been super supportive.”
Kutcher is participating in the marathon as a way to raise money and awareness for Thorn, which is celebrating its 10th year of building technology to defend children from sexual exploitation and eliminate child sexual abuse material from the internet.
“The marathon itself is an elevating opportunity for the work that we have been doing for over a decade with Thorn," he said. "A chance to show the folks that have been working so hard to make our vision reality, that I’m in it with them and willing to go to the last mile.”
Our Future Selves With Ashton Kutcher premiered Aug. 30 on Peloton Tread and the Peloton app and will be released over 10 weeks, leading up to the marathon on Nov. 6.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court initially gave itself a deadline of Wednesday to decide whether women seeking access to a widely used abortion pill would face more restrictions while a court case plays out. But on the day of the highly anticipated decision the justices had only this to say: We need more time.
In a one-sentence order, the court said it now expects to act by Friday evening. There was no explanation of the reason for the delay.
The new abortion controversy comes less than a year after the Supreme Court’s conservative majority overturned Roe v. Wade and allowed more than a dozen states to effectively ban abortion outright.
The following is a look at the drug at issue in the new case, how the case got to the nation’s highest court and what the delay might say about what’s going on.
___
WHAT IS MIFEPRISTONE?
Mifepristone was approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration more than two decades ago. It has been used by more than 5 million women to safely end their pregnancies, and today more than half of women who end a pregnancy rely on the drug, the Justice Department said.
Over the years, the FDA has loosened restrictions on the drug’s use, extending from seven to 10 weeks of pregnancy when it can be used, reducing the dosage needed to safely end a pregnancy, eliminating the requirement to visit a doctor in person to get it and allowing pills to be obtained by mail. The FDA also approved a generic version of mifepristone that its manufacturer, Las Vegas-based GenBioPro, says makes up two-thirds of the domestic market.
Mifepristone is one of two pills used in medication abortions, along with misoprostol. Health care providers have said they could switch to misoprostol only if mifepristone is no longer available or is too hard to obtain. Misoprostol is somewhat less effective in ending pregnancies.
___
HOW DID THE CASE GET STARTED?
A lawsuit over mifepristone was filed in Amarillo, Texas, late last year. Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative Christian legal group, represents the pill’s opponents, who say the FDA’s approval of mifepristone was flawed.
Why Amarillo? U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, who was nominated by then-President Donald Trump, is the sole district court judge there, ensuring that all cases filed in the west Texas city land in front of him. Since taking the bench, he has ruled against President Joe Biden’s administration on several other issues, including immigration and LGBTQ protections.
On April 7, Kacsmaryk issued a ruling that would revoke the FDA’s approval of mifepristone, but he put the decision on hold for a week to allow an appeal.
Complicating matters, however, on the same day Kacsmaryk issued his order, a court in Washington state issued a separate ruling in a lawsuit brought by liberal states seeking to preserve access to mifepristone. The Washington judge, Spokane-based Thomas O. Rice, whom then-President Barack Obama nominated, ordered the FDA not to do anything that might affect the availability of mifepristone in the suing states. The Biden administration has said it is impossible to follow both judges’ directives at the same time.
___
HOW DID THE CASE GET TO THE SUPREME COURT?
The Biden administration responded to Kacsmaryk’s ruling by asking the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to prevent it from taking effect for now.
Last week, the appeals court narrowed Kacsmaryk’s ruling so that the initial approval of mifepristone in 2000 is not affected, for now. But it agreed with him that changes the FDA made to relax the rules for prescribing and dispensing the drug should be put on hold. Those rules included expanding when the drug could be taken and allowing for the drug’s delivery through the mail.
The appeals court acted by a 2-1 vote. The judges in the majority, Kurt Engelhardt and Andrew Oldham, are both Trump picks.
The Biden administration and the maker of mifepristone, New York-based Danco Laboratories, appealed to the Supreme Court, saying that allowing the appeals court’s restrictions to take effect would cause chaos. Facing a tight deadline, the Supreme Court gave itself some breathing room and issued an order suggesting it would act by Wednesday evening. That timeline was extended to Friday, the day the justices will hold a previously scheduled private conference.
The justices could talk about the issue further then. The additional time could also be part of an effort to craft an order that has broad support among the nine justices. Or one or more justices might be writing a separate opinion and asked for a couple of extra days.
___
WHAT COULD HAPPEN NEXT?
The Supreme Court’s delay suggests a maddening reality about an institution that ordinarily adheres to a schedule that hasn’t changed much in years: Even experts can be in the dark about when the court will decide things and how.
Cases are argued over seven months from October to April, and the most important decisions typically come right before the justices take a long summer break. The court does not say which cases it plans to hand down on a given day, and the court, in a search for consensus, will sometimes pass on the biggest issues it faces and decide a very small legal point.
But nowhere is the uncertainty as great as a separate category of cases that have come to be known as the shadow docket.
Apart from death row inmates seeking 11th-hour reprieves, shadow docket cases generally involve emergency appeals to the justices before lower courts have reached final decisions. That includes the mifepristone case.
When the justices consider this set of cases, they don’t usually have a deadline to act. A few years back, an order concerning an elections case in Texas came in the wee hours of a Saturday morning for no reason other than that’s when Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg finished work on her dissenting opinion.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden launched a renewed push Thursday to reduce the costs of shipping goods across oceans, a major challenge for retailers that the White House said has pushed up prices as the world emerges from the coronavirus pandemic.
The measure would empower the Federal Maritime Commission to investigate late fees charged by carriers and prohibit ocean carriers and marine terminals from refusing to fill available cargo space. Biden’s broader message is that a concentration of corporate power has contributed to higher shipping costs in ways that hurt businesses and fuel inflation.
The video features Biden sitting in the Oval Office, talking by speaker phone with the heads of Tractor Supply, Jo-Ann Stores and the American Farm Bureau Federation.
“There’s only nine shipping companies, nine, N-I-N-E, major ocean line shipping companies who ship from Asia to the United States,” Biden said. “These companies have raised their prices by as much as 1,000%.”
Jo-Ann Stores, a fabric and craft retailer operating in 49 states, have seen a $100 million increase in shipping costs.
“We’re not a huge company, but that $100 million increase that they passed onto us is, you know, more than our entire profit,” Jo-Ann Stores CEO Wade Miquelon told the president in the video.
The White House said that shipping cost increases will likely add a full percentage point to the increase in consumer prices over the next year, according to research by the Kansas City Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank.
Over the past decade, the nine largest ocean carriers have increased their control of the market. They now account for 80% of global container shipping by volume and control 95% of the critical East-West trade lines, the White House said.
Improving supply chains has been a major focus of the Biden administration for the past year, even as other factors — such as food and energy — are now driving inflation. The U.S. government will release on Friday its May consumer price index, which is expected to show inflation of 8.2%. That would be close to a 40-year high set earlier this year.
Biden on Friday will speak at the Port of Los Angeles, which moved last year to round-the-clock operations in order to reduce shipping bottlenecks and relieve inflationary pressures. | 2022-06-09T16:00:34+00:00 | washingtonpost.com | https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/biden-pushing-to-lower-ocean-shipping-costs-fight-inflation/2022/06/09/342ba654-e806-11ec-a422-11bbb91db30b_story.html |

PICKFORD, Mich. (WJMN) – We are less than two weeks away from the state primary election on August 2. School millages are on many ballots across the Upper Peninsula.
Voters in Chippewa and Mackinac counties will vote yes or no on the Pickford Public Schools Operating Millage Renewal.
“This millage is going to generate approximately $686,000 in fiscal year 2023 and that’s roughly about 12 percent of our budget for district operations. So if the millage proposal were not to pass, we would have to cut that much out of our budget, which would affect our programs and obviously students,” said Superintendent/K-12 Principal Angela Nettleton.
Back in May of this year, voters voted to pass the $3.5 million Pickford Public Schools Bonding Proposal. The passage of the bonding proposal allows the school to build an addition to the school building, remodel the school building, along with other improvements of the school. That construction is currently underway.
“Luckily our taxpayers approved a bond proposals this last spring and the previous fall before. We have put on two classroom additions to our elementary,: said Nettleton. “We’re looking to add six classrooms to our high school, middle school area. We’re putting on a large multi purpose room. It’ll be great for students and our programs. An industrial area, a stage area, so we’re very excited about all of the work that’s happening here. And a good, a lot of site work out front to make our pick up and drop off area safer.”
If passed, the Pickford Public Schools Operating Millage Renewal will allow the school district to continue to levy 18.7529 mills or $18.75 on each $1,000 of taxable value. There is no increase with this millage renewal. The renewal would be for a two-year period (2023-2024) to provide funds for operating purposes.

MILAN (AP) — Italy’s most treasured opera house, Teatro alla Scala, opened its new season Wednesday with the Russian opera “Boris Godunov,” against the backdrop of Ukrainian protests that the cultural event is a propaganda win for the Kremlin during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni, in her first cultural outing since taking office, attended La Scala’s gala premiere in Milan, joining Italian President Sergio Mattarella and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in the royal box.
A group of about 30 Ukrainians gathered outside the theater to protest highlighting Russian culture while President Vladimir Putin wages a war rooted in the denial of a unique Ukrainian culture.
They were kept across the main piazza, far from any interaction with arriving dignitaries and officials, and politics did not enter the theater.
The crowd of mostly prominent figures from Italian business, culture and politics showered the production with 13 minutes of applause. The loudest praise was reserved for Russian bass Ildar Abdrazakov in the title role along with a cascade of flowers for chief conductor Riccardo Chailly.
Asked about Ukrainians’ objection to putting a spotlight on Russian culture as war rages in its tenth month, von der Leyen praised Ukrainians as “fantastic, brave and courageous people,” but said that Russian culture should not be conflated with Putin.
“We should not allow Putin to destroy all this,” von der Leyen said, referring to great Russian writers and composers, including Modest Petrovic Musorgsky, author of “Boris Godunov.” She added: “Full solidarity with our friends in Ukraine, and let’s make sure that we stand together.”
Meloni, who has maintained Italy’s support for Ukraine in defending itself against Russian aggression, also sought to draw a line between culture and politics.
“We don’t have anything against the Russian people, Russian history, Russian culture,” Meloni said. “We have something against those who have made the political choice to invade a sovereign country.”
A letter of protest from Ukraine’s consul in Milan and a petition by the Ukrainian diaspora failed to persuade the theater to drop “Boris Godunov.” La Scala officials say Chailly chose the opera as the 2022-23 season opener three years ago at Abdrazakov’s suggestion, and it was too late to substitute the production.
Abdrazakov was heralded for his sixth La Scala season premiere performance, the first in his native language, leading a mostly Russian cast along with La Scala’s chorus.
“I have sung here in Italian, in French, once in Italian, but in Russian, it is another thing entirely. And then, this opera, I adore it very much,” Abdrazakov said backstage.
Danish director Kasper Holten’s said he sought to emphasize the opera’s message about “the cynicism of power,” which he said remains relevant more than 150 years after it was written. In Holten’s staging, Godunov is haunted by the bloody presence of the child prince he killed to become czar, and then has to confront bloody depictions of his own cherished children, foreshadowing their own fate.
“This is sadly a reminder to us that wherever there’s a lust for power, it’s also the language of blood,” Holten said backstage.
La Scala management have insisted that “Boris Godonov” was not propaganda for Putin. Still, Russian media widely reported on the production, focusing on officials’ dismissals of the Ukrainian protests. Russian state TV was also on hand for opening night.
In the piazza, Ukrainian protest organizers were unpersuaded by the attempt to keep politics out of culture.
“I don’t know why Italians tend to think Russian culture does not have anything to do with Russian government or the Russian people. It is all intertwined with the medieval mentality that created Putin,’’ said Valeriya Kalchenko, a native of the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv and long-time Milan resident who organized a protest.
She noted that the Polish National Opera in Warsaw canceled its scheduled April performances of the same opera just days after Russia invaded Ukraine in late February, citing the suffering of the Ukrainian people. It said it would consider staging the opera in peacetime.
“They could have reacted in the same way, because La Scala at the beginning of the war had nine months to substitute the opera with an Italian opera. There is no shortage of them; it is an Italian art form,’’ Kalchenko said.
Other Ukrainian organizations, including a youth association, decided against physically joining the protest despite objections to the Russian production. Instead, they gathered silently, holding sheet music written by a Ukrainian composer.
Zoia Stankovska said that “muting” Russian culture during the war “would be a gesture, a sign of solidarity, with Ukrainians, and a clear message as long as the aggression is ongoing.”
La Scala management has emphasized its support of Ukraine, including a benefit concert that raised 400,000 euros ($421,000). La Scala was also the first theater in the West to cut off relations with Russian conductor Valery Gergiev, who was engaged at the Milan theater when the war broke out, after he failed to express a desire for a peaceful solution.
The gala season opener, which is held on the Dec. 7 holiday for Milan’s patron St. Ambrose, is one of the top events on the European cultural calendar, and often attracts protests aimed at grabbing the attention of Italian movers and shakers in attendance.
In that tradition, climate protesters early Wednesday threw paint on the opera house’s columns to promote more urgent actions to curb climate change. The paint was quickly removed. And union protesters set up near the Ukrainian protest, adding “no war” to their manifold slogans.

VINCENNES, Ind. (Inside INdiana Business) — Vincennes-based Skill Precast LLC is planning to build a new manufacturing site in Knox County. The company, which manufactures precast concrete wall panels and pole bases, says it will invest $2.2 million to construct the facility and create up to 15 jobs.
Skill Precast is a licensee of Pennsylvania-based Superior Walls for residential basement wall products. The company says the investment includes the cost of the new building and associated equipment.
“For nearly 20 years, the Skill family of businesses has completed quality projects in the construction industry,” Skill Precast President Brandon Tully said in a news release. “In 2021, we decided to get back into the precast sector, with the intent to provide high-quality, innovative, efficient products, so it didn’t take us long to begin our relationship with Superior Walls.”
Skill Precast says it is currently hiring production team members. Those interested in applying can reach out to the company here.
The company did not provide an estimated time frame for the expansion to be completed.
The Indiana Economic Development Corp. has offered Skill Precast up to $150,000 in conditional tax credits, which the company will not be eligible to claim until Hoosier workers are hired for the new jobs.
The Knox County Council has also approved a 10-year tax abatement for the project. | 2022-05-13T16:39:52+00:00 | wishtv.com | https://www.wishtv.com/news/inside-indiana-business/skill-precast-expanding-in-knox-county/ |
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont has broken a hip in a fall at his home and was to undergo surgery to repair it, his office said Thursday.
The 82-year-old Democrat fell Wednesday night in McLean, Virginia, the statement said. Doctors determined the best course of action would be to have surgery to repair the hip as soon as possible.
Leahy was born blind in one eye.
“The senator has had a lifelong struggle with reduced depth perception," the statement said. "He has taken some remarkable dingers over the years, but this one finally caught up with him.”

Leahy was “expected to make a full recovery and begin a healthy course of physical therapy immediately."
Leahy is the longest-serving sitting senator. He announced in November that he will not seek reelection this fall. By the time his term expires in January 2023, he will have served for 48 years in the Senate.
Leahy was taken to the hospital in January 2020, hours after he had begun presiding over the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump. Leahy had not been feeling well and was taken there out of an abundance of caution. After being examined, he was sent home.
Leahy is the last of the so-called Watergate babies, the surge of congressional Democrats elected in 1974 after President Richard Nixon resigned to avoid impeachment. | 2022-06-30T11:46:28+00:00 | bostonglobe.com | https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/06/30/nation/vermont-us-senator-patrick-leahy-breaks-hip-have-surgery/ |
The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation launched a new relief fund Monday aimed at Black college students, alumni and dropouts overburdened by mounting education costs and the student loan debt crisis.
The foundation said it set aside $500,000 for the fund and plans to award more than 500 recipients with relief payments ranging from $750 to $4,500. A public application process for the fund opened on Monday, and recipients will receive their money in January if selected. Details about the fund were shared with The Associated Press ahead of the launch.
The BLM foundation’s Student Solidarity Fund is an expansion of a previous initiative it started last year as millions of Americans struggled to make ends meet amid economic uncertainty in the coronavirus pandemic. This time the foundation said it intends to use philanthropic dollars to draw attention to issues of economic injustice, especially while a proposed federal student debt forgiveness plan is held up by litigation from opponents.
“The fact of the matter is that Black people who work to get an education are struggling right now,” BLM foundation board chair Cicley Gay said. “We recognize that we can’t build a world of true liberation without the brilliance of Black people who are committed to furthering their education.”
The relief is meant for bachelor’s degree recipients, as well as those who did not complete their degree but still carry student loan debt. Applicants must have attended a college or university in the U.S. The foundation is asking applicants to submit loan documents to prove their eligibility.
If selected, applicants with $75,000 or less in debt will receive $1,500. Applicants with debt between $75,001 and $150,000 will receive $3,000. And applicants with $150,001 or more in debt will receive $4,500.
The money is not restricted for use only on student loan payments, but the foundation said its relief funds are meant to lower recipients’ overall debt burden.
In a second phase of the fund, the BLM foundation said it will give microgrants of $750 to relief fund applicants who are currently attending historically Black colleges and universities, to help with housing, food, technology, books and transportation costs.
Foundation board secretary Shalomyah Bowers, who runs the consulting firm that the movement organization hired to build out its philanthropic capacity, said Student Solidarity Fund applicants do not have to prove they are Black. But fund administrators will be working to weed out scammers.
“Black people shouldn’t have to jump through hoops and jump over hurdles to get the access that they need,” he said.
Tahir Murray, an HBCU ambassador for the BLM foundation’s Student Solidarity Fund, said he hears from Black students all the time that stress over the lack of scholarships and grants is a persistent distraction from their studies.
“Black students have disproportionate access to aid and resources that take into account historical discrimination and the experiences of Black people navigating a society that does not see or treat us as equal,” said Murray, who is a 2021 graduate of Howard University and owner of the HBCU lifestyle brand LegacyHistoryPride.
The relief fund comes less than two weeks after the Supreme Court agreed to decide whether the Biden administration can proceed with a plan to broadly cancel student loans. In August, President Joe Biden said the government would forgive $10,000 in student loan debt for Americans with annual incomes below $125,000, and would cancel up to $20,000 for recipients of the Pell Grant.
More than 26 million people had already applied for the relief, with 16 million approved. But the government stopped processing applications in November after a federal judge in Texas struck down the plan. Conservative attorneys and Republican lawmakers are challenging the legality of the debt forgiveness plan on an argument that Biden cannot take this step without congressional approval.
A high court ruling is expected by early summer.
“We could sit around and wait, and hope that legislators do what they promised by providing loan relief, or we could step up and do it ourselves. And we’ve decided to do the latter,” Gay said.
Last year, while Americans waited for Congress to approve a $2 trillion coronavirus relief package that included direct payments of $1,400 to Americans earning less than $75,000, the BLM foundation gave out $3 million in microgrants of $1,000 to nearly 3,000 Black people.
That initiative launched just as the foundation opened up about the tens of millions in donations it took in after the 2020 murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer, a case that helped spark racial justice protests across the U.S. and around the world. Earlier this year, the foundation revealed in a nonprofit tax filing that it had nearly $42 million in net assets at the end of the last fiscal year.
The tax filing also showed the foundation spent nearly $6 million on a Los Angeles-area property that includes a home with six bedrooms and bathrooms, a swimming pool, a soundstage and office space. The property is intended as a campus for a Black artists fellowship, the foundation said.
The financial revelations set off a fresh wave of criticism from the left and right in the political world and from both inside and outside of the broader BLM movement. Several months after the disclosures, the foundation’s structure remains the same. It is run by a three-member board of directors, including Gay and Bowers.
In August, a group of local chapters and activists known as BLM Grassroots filed a lawsuit in a California Superior Court against Bowers. The suit alleges that he and his consulting firm broke an agreement to turn over control of the foundation’s digital assets and its finances to the grassroots organizers of BLM, allowing him to profit personally and professionally from the surge in donations.
Bowers told the AP the allegations are “frivolous” and untrue. An attorney for the foundation last week filed a court motion asking a judge to dismiss the lawsuit. | 2022-12-12T19:52:49+00:00 | kxnet.com | https://www.kxnet.com/news/national-news/blm-sets-up-student-relief-fund-as-loan-forgiveness-stalls/ |
First law enforcement agency in the country to train all employees on customer experience curriculum; Releases documentary on progress
CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, www.JoinCMPD.com, released a documentary showcasing the journey and impact of the internal CommUNITY Collaboration customer experience training and curriculum that started two years ago and launched in June of 2021. The program, now called CMPD Serves, has made transformational changes throughout the department during that time positively impacting employees and relationships internally and externally.
"I am so proud of the work our men and women are doing internally and in the community," said CMPD Chief Johnny Jennings. "I want us to be the best part of someone's worst day. Our employees rise to that challenge time and time again, and I'm humbled by their hard work and dedication day in and day out."
The conversations around this initiative began in 2020 when officers and the community was faced with many challenges. The DiJulius Group, a customer service training and consultancy out of Cleveland, Ohio, partnered with CMPD in 2020 to advise and guide the department through the process to create the program by leading workshops, interviews and focus groups.
"We sent out inquiries across the country and we could not find any other agency that had a customer service initiative or even referred to policing as a customer service profession," said Jennings. "I knew from our very first phone call that we were onto something big with The DiJulius Group and it was an initiative we had to move forward with."
CMPD is the first law enforcement agency in the country to develop a strategic approach as well as curriculum around ways to improve audience engagement.
"We are laying the groundwork for this program to seep into the foundation of this organization," said CMPD Public Affairs Director Sandy Vastola. "If the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is able to adopt this work and make it part of what we do every day, there's no reason any other organization in the country can't do the same."
Some of the work CMPD developed for its curriculum included modernized communication techniques between CMPD employees and their customers, the creation of "a day in the life" of a customer and employee videos, role playing and engagement scenarios. CMPD employees developed the training and curriculum, and CMPD employees have been conducting the training as well.
The initial phase of training included one hour of online work in the department's online training system as well as a four-hour in-person classroom training at the Police Academy once the online training was completed.
All 2,500 CMPD employees have received both portions of this training. It is also offered to all incoming civilians and new recruits.
After launch, the department improved its customer satisfaction score (C-SAT) from 43% to 84%. The CMPD also implemented new body-worn camera tagging to capture positive interactions, de-escalation, community engagement and life-saving efforts totaling more than 1,600 positive tags in 2022. The CMPD Serves team has awarded more than 75 Acts of Excellence awards that celebrated the fantastic customer-centric work the CMPD men and women perform.
The next phase of training, set to launch in September at the Police Academy, will focus on application of the initial work, the importance of internal customers and employee wellness.
The CMPD Serves team produced a documentary that detailed the journey of the program including the inspiration for this concept, how the program came to fruition, reactions to the program launch, results and next steps for the effort.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, www.cmpd.org and www.JoinCMPD.com, is a progressive, technology-driven, metropolitan department that believes strongly in the principles of crime management, community collaboration, professional accountability and employee wellness. The department employs more than 1,900 sworn officers, 500 civilian employees and 500 volunteers.

Central Texas boy overcomes reading struggles, finishes nearly 50 books in a year
WACO, Texas (KWTX) - A Central Texas preteen who once struggled to read, and because of that didn’t enjoy picking up books, is now a certified book worm, finishing his 47th book this school year, including the bible cover to cover.
Cole Smith, 11, attended Baylor’s intensive literacy intervention summer program - called Camp Success - where therapists addressed his reading fluency.
Since getting the help he needed, he’s been lost in the pages of books. In fact, he’s already launched into a new book series for the summer.
“The reason I like to read is because, whenever I was young, I always used to be the one who didn’t know how to read, so I started reading and I got a lot better,” Cole said. “So, I love reading.”
The boy said his love for reading started with smaller books, and has grown. He began with Dog Man book series, which are graphic novels easier to read for young children.
The next series he remembers enjoying was Encyclopedia Brown, a book series featuring the adventures of a boy detective.
Cole said the length of the books didn’t seem overwhelming when he first began to read for pleasure.
“The one that really got me hooked was Encyclopedia Brown. It’s basically a kid in their neighborhood who meets the clever boy detective, Encyclopedia Brown. So, it’s basically riddles and mysteries that he has to solve,” Cole said. “It kind of got me hooked because there not that big anyways so whenever I was young that kind of got me on the hook because I knew I couldn’t read that much.”
Cole’s love of reading has grown day-by-day, and night-by-night.
His mom, Stacey, said she often finds him reading by flashlight in the middle of the night.
“It’s hard to get mad about this, even though it’s way past his bedtime,” Stacey said.
Cole says his favorite types of books are fantasy, realistic fiction and adventure.
He’s read all of the popular Harry Potter series, but says his favorites are The Percy Jackson & the Olympian series. or The Last Dragon Chronicles, a fantasy series.
“I like how there are different cultures. like in Percy Jackson it had like Greek mythology, roman mythology and everything; and in the Last Dragon Chronicles, it’s basically a fantasy thing where it’s a fantasy series and there’s dragons in it,” Cole said. “There are 7 books in it. I’m already reading the seventh one.”
The avid reader says he gravitates toward book series.
“I like reading series because it just keeps me going. It keeps me hooked on the series,” Cole said. “It it keeps me hanging on the other books.”
Cole said his advice to other kids is to start with books that don’t seem intimidating in length, and once you get going, try series like The Last Dragon Chronicles.
“I would think maybe The Fire Within, the first book of The Last Dragon Chronicles because it could get you hooked,” he said. “It’s not that exciting but once you get to the second book things get a little crazy.”
Cole took a picture of all the books he read at the end of his school year at South Bosque Elementary, where he just completed the 5th grade.
The 47 books include many of his favorites, and others not pictured which he checked out at his school library.
This year, Cole read the Children’s Bible cover to cover.
Just because summer is out, Cole has no plans of putting a hold on his favorite pastime of reading.

WWII Medal of Honor recipient to lie in honor at US Capitol
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hershel W. “Woody” Williams, the last remaining Medal of Honor recipient from World War II, will lie in honor at the U.S. Capitol, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Sunday.
A date and other details will be announced later, Pelosi and Schumer said in a joint statement.
“Woody Williams embodied the best of America: living a life of duty, honor and courage,” Pelosi said. Schumer said: “Woody Williams was an American hero who embodied the best of our country and the greatest generation.”
Williams, who died on Wednesday at 98, was a legend in his native West Virginia for his heroics under fire over several crucial hours at the battle for Iwo Jima. As a young Marine corporal, Williams went ahead of his unit in February 1945 and eliminated a series of Japanese machine gun positions. Facing small-arms fire, Williams fought for four hours, repeatedly returning to prepare demolition charges and obtain flamethrowers.
Later that year, the 22-year-old Williams received the Medal of Honor from President Harry Truman. The Medal of Honor is the nation’s highest award for military valor.
In remarks at a memorial Sunday in Charleston, West Virginia, U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin said Williams “never quit giving back.” That included raising money for gold star families — immediate family members of fallen service members — with an annual motorcycle ride.
“It’s raised hundreds of thousands of dollars,” Manchin said. He joked that “it’s not going to be stopping, because Woody would come after me in a heartbeat.”
Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, said he will miss Williams’ phone calls, noting how Williams would always give him directions and to-do lists.
“I’ll miss him telling me how I’m supposed to vote. And when I didn’t, how I made a mistake,” Manchin said.
Gen. David H. Berger, commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps, said at the memorial that Williams always took exception to the notion that he accomplished that feat alone. He always acknowledged the other men on his team, some of whom never returned home.
“Woody may be the most genuine person I ever met,” Berger said, noting his unique combination of humility and humor. “He could make you laugh. He could make you care. That was his gift.”
Williams remained in the Marines after the war, serving a total of 20 years, before working for the Veterans Administration for 33 years as a veterans service representative. In 2018, the Huntington VA medical center was renamed in his honor, and the Navy commissioned a mobile base sea vessel in his name in 2020.
“He left an indelible mark on our Marine Corps,” Berger said. “As long as there are Marines, his legacy will live on.”
Manchin announced during his remarks that Williams would lie in state at the Rotunda, but Pelosi and Schumer said he would lie in honor. The distinction, according to the Architect of the Capitol, which oversees the building, is that government officials and military officers lie in state while private citizens lie in honor.

A pair of sneakers worn during Michael Jordan’s “Last Dance” with the Chicago Bulls is expected to sell for between $2 million and $4 million at auction next month, Sotheby’s announced.
The shoes were worn by Jordan during the second half of Game 2 of the 1998 NBA Finals. Jordan scored 37 points that night, leading the Bulls to a 93-88 win over the Utah Jazz. The Bulls won the NBA Finals by a 4-2 margin, giving Jordan his sixth and final championship.
Sotheby’s said the shoes were given to a Utah Jazz ball boy who tended to the visitors' locker room. The ball boy asked Jordan for his shoes after finding Jordan’s lost jacket.
Jordan signed the shoes and thanked the ball boy for his services, Sotheby’s said.

The shoe is considered a “Bred Air Jordan,” which is short for black and red. Sotheby’s said earlier in Jordan’s career, Bred Air Jordan shoes were banned by the NBA because the colors violated the league’s policy.
Nike would use the league’s policy to sell the shoe as a rebellion against power.
Sotheby’s noted that the shoes up for auction marked the last time Jordan wore the Bred Air Jordan shoes.
Jordan’s 1997-98 season became the focus of a 10-part ESPN and Netflix documentary, “The Last Dance.” The documentary aired during April and May 2020, giving ESPN much-needed new content at a time leagues were shut down due to the pandemic.
The shoes won’t be the first Jordan item to go for millions at auction. A road No. 23 Chicago Bulls jersey worn by Jordan sold for $10 million last September. The jersey, complete with an NBA Finals emblem, was worn by the basketball legend during Game 1 of the 1998 NBA Finals. | 2023-03-15T15:32:02+00:00 | tmj4.com | https://www.tmj4.com/news/national/shoes-from-michael-jordans-last-dance-up-for-auction |
(The Hill) – The first U.S. currency featuring the signature of a female Treasury secretary has been released.
The Treasury Department said in a tweet on Thursday that the Bureau of Engraving & Printing (BEP) has started producing dollars with the signatures of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Treasurer Lynn Malerba.
Yellen, previously the first female chair of the Federal Reserve, was confirmed as secretary in the first few days of President Biden’s administration, becoming the first woman to lead the Treasury Department, which was one of the last Cabinet-level positions to never have a woman serving in it.
“Currency is something we use and we touch every day. And when done right, it can tell us who we are, what we value and what is possible,” Yellen said in remarks announcing the currency at BEP’s currency printing facility in Fort Worth, Texas.
Malerba has served as treasurer since September, part of an unbroken line of women who have held the position dating back to the Truman administration. She is the first Native American to hold the role.
Currency previously carried the signature of former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, as a new treasurer needed to be in place before the currency could be updated. The position of treasurer was vacant between when Biden became president and Malerba was appointed.
The New York Times reported that the first $1 and $5 bills with Yellen and Malerba’s signatures will go into circulation next month. | 2022-12-08T22:08:27+00:00 | ksn.com | https://www.ksn.com/news/politics/first-currency-featuring-female-treasury-secretarys-signature-released/ |

CLEVELAND (WJW) – We now have our first look at “A Christmas Story Christmas,” the sequel to the holiday classic coming out next month.
HBO Max released the new teaser trailer Monday. It pays homage to the 1983 holiday classic, which shows the iconic house where Ralphie, played by Peter Billingsley, grew up. The “fragile” leg lamp, or what’s left of it, even makes an appearance.
Audio clips from the original film are played in the background and we get our first look at Billingsley reprising his role.
The sequel follows an adult Ralphie in the 1970s, who returns to his home on Cleveland Street to bring his kids a magical Christmas like the one from his childhood.
“A Christmas Story Christmas” will premiere on HBO Max on Nov. 17.
Several other actors will reprise their roles in the sequel, including Ian Petrella (Randy Parker), Zack Ward (Scut Farkus), Scott Schwartz (Flick), and R.D. Robb (Schwartz).
Clay Kaytis, who was behind Netflix’s “The Christmas Chronicles,” will direct the sequel for Legendary and Warner Bros.
Much of the original movie was filmed in Cleveland, and the “A Christmas Story” House in Tremont has become a popular tourist attraction over the years. | 2022-10-18T01:21:18+00:00 | localsyr.com | https://www.localsyr.com/news/national/teaser-trailer-for-a-christmas-story-sequel-released/ |
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) — A whimsical sculpture atop a roof in Limestone is among 14 likely to take their places among Johnson City’s public art offerings in May.
“Caterpillarsaurus” is the product of Mike Helbing’s creative process and sits on the top of his garage for now. Provided Johnson City Commissioners approve the public art committee’s 14 selections, the tendrilly silver piece will beckon the curious until May 2025.
“Little shop of horrors,” Helbing said of his process. “I just play.”
For every sculpture selected, the city pays the artist $2,000. All sculptures are on sale — for a range of prices — and if people buy they can choose to leave them in place after the two years or relocate them.
If purchased, buyers are encouraged to donate the work to the city for permanent display, which several sculptures downtown have.
The Johnson City Public Art Committee’s chairman said the group is pleased with the new offerings.
“The sculptures that we’ve selected, I think, are not only going to engage and introduce people to different kinds of art in different forms, but we also keep in mind these are for our community and reflect our community,” Michael Anthony Fowler told News Channel 11.
After an open call for submissions and review by the committee, a guest juror selected the new sculptures. The city and committee agree to publicize the exhibition on social media, the Johnson City Public Art website and Facebook.
Artist agreements also note the city “will make good faith efforts to encourage sales.”
Helding says the idea for Caterpillarsaurus came from a model and grew from there.
“I don’t like to pre-conceive,” Helding said. “Mostly it’s the idea and then work with the idea and let serendipity take over sometimes.”
The piece is among a group Fowler described as “really diverse.”
“Some are representational. Some are abstract. Some are really whimsical. Some are serious so really I think there’s going to be something for everyone,” Fowler said.
City commissioners meet to review the proposal Thursday at 6 p.m.
If approved, the sculptures will be installed by June 1.
More information on the new slate of art, including photos of each sculpture, is in this section of the city commission’s agenda packet. | 2023-02-16T02:06:04+00:00 | wjhl.com | https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/new-art-to-display-in-johnson-city/ |
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The future of psychotherapy has arrived.
Integrata is a psychedelic assisted psychotherapy program led by a team of highly conscientious providers who recognize the vital importance of forging novel treatment paths to healing. Grounded in clinical research and extensive experience in direct clinical service, Integrata utilizes the transformative impact of Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) to help those who have been suffering with treatment-resistant trauma, depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders to achieve relief, insight, and understanding.
"We are very pleased to announce Integrata to the community and thereby expand our reach in offering a groundbreaking, timely, and impactful treatment via Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. Our extensive research and clinical experience directly inform our sense of responsibility to provide those who are suffering with novel and effective treatment pathways," said Dr. Thomas, Executive Clinical Director of Integrata. "Additionally, Integrata will provide a vital role of educating providers and consumers about the therapeutic potential of safely utilizing psychedelic compounds in response to the ongoing growth in clinical research and community interest."
Integrata comes from the Latin verb integrare, meaning to renew, to restore, to make whole. Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy is a deeply relational and personal experience, not simply about ingesting a medicine. The Integrata team respectfully understands the critical importance of prioritizing client needs and is trained to thoughtfully support nuanced techniques and guidance to allow individuals to "return" to themselves, access previously unreachable content, and gain invaluable insight about what is needed to heal. Integrata appreciates the critical importance of helping clients "translate" KAP experiences into insights and understanding that can be carried forward meaningfully and sustainably to provide lasting and desired changes.
"The use of a medicine like Ketamine can provide a gentle invitation to soften typical defenses and protective reflexes while expanding one's access to difficult feelings and deeper insights," Dr. Thomas added on the clinical benefits of KAP. "While Ketamine alone can offer rapid and robust symptom relief, those effects can be time limited; at Integrata we have found thoughtful client selection matched with skilled clinicians utilizing nuanced therapeutic techniques can foundationally ground and allow a profound and sustainable healing process to unfold."
Research into the use of psychedelic assisted psychotherapy – the concept of using various compounds or "psychedelic" medicines and expanded states of consciousness to facilitate a therapeutic and healing process for individuals – has exploded in recent years. The FDA granted breakthrough therapy designation for MDMA in combination with psychotherapy for the treatment of PTSD in 2017 and for psilocybin for the treatment of major depressive disorder in 2019. Clinical research with MDMA-Assisted Therapy (MDMA-AT) and Dr. Thomas's direct experience conducting clinical research on the Phase 3 Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) trial for MDMA-AT provided vital platforms for shaping Integrata's KAP program. Integrata's expert team brings years of experience working in the fields of substance use and mental health, positioning the organization as a leader in the industry.
Integrata joins The Manor, Midwest Detox, Windrose Counseling, and Positive Sobriety Institute in Windrose Recovery's family of programs. For more information, please visit integratahealing.com. Integrata currently offers Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy for individuals and couples in Brookfield, Wisconsin, treating clients from the Milwaukee and Chicago areas and beyond.

Imran Khan, the populist prime minister voted out of power in Pakistan this spring, says he is intensifying protests against his removal.
Khan and his followers have staged protests ever since Pakistan's parliament removed him in a vote of no confidence in April. Refusing to accept his defeat, he asked his followers to stage demonstrations while converging on the capital city, Islamabad. During one such protest on November 3, Khan was shot in the leg.
Khan spoke with NPR from his home in Lahore while recovering from his wounds. He said his rejection of his defeat was a fight for the "rule of law" and a bid to prevent Pakistan from becoming "a banana republic." He is demanding that the government call early elections, instead of waiting until their scheduled time late next year.
Leaders of the current government describe Khan himself as a threat to democracy, who degraded democratic norms while in office and is now seeking to overturn the majority vote of the parliament. The current foreign minister, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, has accused Khan of "post-fact, alternate reality politics."
The truth, as both sides know, is complicated. Pakistan holds democratic elections and has had a somewhat free media – but also suffers from corruption and has cracked down on free expression. Civilian governments are powerfully influenced by the army, which is thought to track journalists and shape elections. Days from now, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is due to name a new army chief – a fraught decision, closely watched in Islamabad, because the army chief is presumed to have more power than the prime minister.
Khan ranks among the most famous living Pakistanis, a former cricket star-turned-politician who once risked himself to oppose a military dictatorship. But when his party won elections in 2018, he was widely understood to have reached an accommodation with the army. "Without the military leaning on the election process itself... there's no way Imran Khan would have been prime minister," says Mosharraf Zaidi, an Islamabad-based analyst. He adds that Khan was removed this spring because he "ran afoul of those bosses."
Khan has accused both the civilian prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif, and a Pakistani general of being involved in his shooting. The government condemned the shooting and has taken at least one suspect into custody.
The political conflict has added to the instability of a country already facing calamity. Massive floods this summer put much of Pakistan underwater, and its economy is near collapse.
On Tuesday, he spoke with NPR's Steve Inskeep. What follows is one portion of their conversation, edited for length.
Steve Inskeep: Why are you demanding immediate elections instead of waiting until late next year?
Imran Khan: The economy is sinking. The dollar earnings through remittances and exports, they're all going down. So basically, Pakistan is staring at default... And the sooner we get elections, [the sooner] a stable government comes in that will lead to political stability, which will then have a chance for Pakistan to get out of this mess.
But a majority of the parliament... who were elected to those positions, and some of whom were your allies, voted no confidence. Why not accept that as the constitutional result? It is the system you have.
Imran Khan: The problem, Steve, is that in Pakistan, unfortunately, parliamentary democracy is still evolving. So when you have a situation which is unheard of in maybe the Anglo-Saxon parliamentary democracies where you can actually buy the loyalties of people, and I'm talking about 24 members of Parliament who sold themselves... So that in itself it means that the whole idea of democracy gets flawed.
Were these not people who were your allies, who were alleged to have been nudged in your direction once upon a time?
Two different things. One, they were allies. But they also sold themselves.
You mentioned the need for stability. Is it in the best interest of the country at this time to turn the focus on your cause and your protest, rather than focusing on the more immediate problems of the country and running in next year's election?
Imran Khan: Well, Steve, if we wait till next year's election, our party is only getting stronger as the government weakens. We are gaining from lack of economic performance but the country is sinking. My only worry is that the one year which is left, the country might just be pushed to the point where it might go out of all control. That may be impossible to pull it back.
Do you believe you would be able to work with the military if you returned to power, given that you have accused at least one member of the military of plotting to kill you?
Well, you know, the military has its own good and bad... I think the military recognizes that. I think that the members in the military do make mistakes.
You have said in recent months that you felt a foreign conspiracy was responsible for your ouster. You also said in recent days that you no longer blame the United States. People said that you had changed your story, although in looking carefully at the quotes, I'm not sure that you really did. Did you mean to say the United States is not responsible or merely to say that you will let it pass?
Is it because my government has gone that I should harbor a grudge with the U.S. forever? No, because it's not about me. It's about my country... We have to move forward, and and we have to have a new type of relationship with the U.S., which I've always said. Unfortunately, our relationships in the past have been very lopsided. There really been a sort of master-slave type of relationship which has been very demeaning, humiliating for people of Pakistan.

QUINCY, Mass., Jan. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- CFSB Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ Capital Market: CFSB), the holding company for Colonial Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"), today announced net income of $341,000, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to net income of $645,000, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and net income of $234,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2021.
For the six months ended December 31, 2022, net income was $986,000, or $0.16 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $706,000, for the six months ended December 31, 2021. Net income on a non-GAAP basis, excluding certain nonrecurring items, was $666,000, for the six months ended December 31, 2021. Please see the tables attached hereto for a reconciliation of these and other non-GAAP financial measures.
Michael E. McFarland, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are pleased to see loan growth during the quarter and continued improvement in interest-earning asset yields. We are proud of the Bank's accomplishments during calendar year 2022, and I want to thank our employees for their continued efforts and commitment. Looking forward, we are likely to see headwinds in deposit pricing in our highly competitive banking environment. We will continue to focus on pricing and expense discipline in the current rising interest rate and inflationary environment."
Second Quarter Operating Results
Net interest income, on a fully tax-equivalent basis decreased by $25,000, or 1.0%, to $2.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 from $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to a 41 basis point increase in the average rate paid for certificates of deposit, partially offset by a 13 basis point increase in the average yield earned for interest-earning assets. The interest earned on loans increased $38,000, to $1.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, from $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The interest earned on loans benefitted from rising interest rates and from an increase in the average balance of loans of $1.0 million during the second fiscal quarter. The net interest margin increased by 1 basis point to 2.77% for the fiscal second quarter from 2.76% for the fiscal first quarter.
Net interest income, on a fully tax-equivalent basis increased by $324,000, or 15.9%, to $2.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, from $2.0 million in the same period in the prior year. Relative to the prior year quarter, the net interest margin increased by 27 basis points to 2.77% from 2.50%. The improvement reflects growth in the average balance of loans and securities of $5.1 million and $33.8 million, respectively, from the prior year quarter and a 357 basis point increase in the interest earned on cash and short-term investments due to the higher interest rate environment. Partially offsetting the improvement in interest and dividend income was a 15 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities from the prior year quarter due primarily to increased interest paid on certificates of deposit in the higher interest rate environment.
The Company did not record a provision for loan losses for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 or September 30, 2022, as loan growth was offset by decreases in the unallocated portion of the allowance for loan losses. A provision for loan losses of $10,000 was recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2021, driven by loan growth. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.97%, 0.99% and 1.00% at December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Non-interest income decreased $48,000, or 24.0%, to $152,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 from $200,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2022, due to a decrease of $46,000 in other income. The prior quarter included $50,000 for the annual collection of safe deposit box fees.
Non-interest income decreased $9,000, or 5.6%, to $152,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, from $161,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, principally due to a decrease of $12,000 in income on bank-owned life insurance.
Non-interest expenses increased $339,000, or 19.4%, to $2.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 from $1.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The increase was due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense of $232,000, or 22.8%, primarily attributed to a discretionary year-end bonus awarded to employees in the quarter ended December 31, 2022. In addition, advertising expense increased $32,000 from the prior quarter due to employment agency fees, and other general and administrative expense increased by $72,000 from the prior quarter due to increases in expenses related to public filings, uncollectable check expense and directors' compensation expense.
Non-interest expenses increased $191,000, or 10.1%, to $2.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 from $1.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. The increase was principally due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $83,000, attributed to ESOP expenses incurred in the current year, an increase in headcount, and increases to employee salaries and health insurance benefits.
Income tax expense was $65,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $170,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and $32,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 was due to increases in tax-exempt municipal securities income. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021 was due to decreases in tax-exempt municipal securities income and decreases in bank-owned life insurance income.
Year-to-Date Operating Results
Net interest income increased on a fully tax-equivalent basis by $702,000, or 17.3%, to $4.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022 from $4.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021. Total interest-earning assets income increased $702,000 from the prior year period due to an increase in the average balance of securities and higher average yields earned on securities and cash and short-term investments. An increase in the average balance of securities of $38.1 million, or 34.0%, and a 16 basis point increase in the average yield earned on securities contributed to a $550,000 increase in securities income. The interest earned on cash and short-term investments increased $217,000 from the prior year, due to a 270 basis point improvement in the average yield earned due to the higher interest rate environment, partially offset by a $21.7 million decrease in the average balance. Partially offsetting the increase in interest and dividend income was a $47,000 increase in the interest expense. The increase in the interest paid on certificates of deposit of $49,000 from the prior year period contributed to a 5 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin improved 26 basis points for the six months ended December 31, 2022, to 2.76%, from 2.50% in the prior year.
The Company did not recognize a provision for loan losses for the six months ended December 31, 2022 compared to a provision for loan losses of $25,000 in the prior year period. For the six months ended December 31, 2021, loan growth was the primary contributor to the provision for loan losses.
Non-interest income decreased $65,000, or 15.6%, to $352,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2022 from $417,000 in the prior year period, principally due to a decrease of $48,000 in the gain on sale of securities available for sale and a $22,000 decrease in income on bank-owned life insurance. Excluding the gain on sale of securities available for sale, which management believes is a non-recurring operating activity, non-interest income would have decreased $17,000, or 4.6% from the prior year period.
Non-interest expenses increased $287,000, or 8.1%, to $3.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022 from $3.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021. Salaries and benefits increased $121,000, or 5.6%, to $2.3 million, due to annual increases to salaries and health insurance of employees, an increase in headcount, and the addition of ESOP expense in the current year. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $80,000, or 19.1%, to $498,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2022 from $418,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2021, due to the renewal of a branch lease in the current fiscal year and for increases to service maintenance contracts. Advertising expense increased $32,000 from the prior year period due to an employment agency fee incurred during the six months ended December 31, 2022. Other general and administrative expense increased $47,000, or 6.8% from the prior year period due to increases in professional fees.
Income tax expense was $235,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2022 compared to income tax expense of $132,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2021.
Balance Sheet
At December 31, 2022, total assets amounted to $356.8 million, compared to $360.9 million at September 30, 2022, a decrease of $4.1 million, or 1.1%, as a $5.2 million decrease in total cash and cash equivalents and a $2.7 million decrease in securities held to maturity were partially offset by a $3.4 million increase in total loans from the prior quarter. Commercial real estate loans were the main contributor to total loan growth, as commercial real estate loans grew $5.4 million, or 34.8%, to $21.1 million at December 31, 2022, from $15.6 million at September 30, 2022. Deposits decreased by $4.6 million, or 1.6%, in the quarter, as the Bank is experiencing decreases of customer deposits with the absence of government stimulus and increases in inflation, in addition to mix-shift changes by depositors to higher-yielding term certificates due to the higher interest rate environment.
Total stockholders' equity was $75.3 million at December 31, 2022 compared to $74.9 million at September 30, 2022. The increase of $362,000 reflects net income of $341,000 and earned ESOP compensation of $26,000, partially offset by other comprehensive losses of $1,000.
Total assets at December 31, 2022 decreased $5.0 million, or 1.4%, from $361.8 million at December 31, 2021. Contributing to the decrease in assets was a decrease of $37.3 million in cash and cash equivalents to $10.6 million at December 31, 2022 from $47.8 million at December 31, 2021, partially offset by a $26.5 million increase in securities held to maturity and $5.7 million in loan growth. Commercial real estate loans increased by $5.6 million, or 35.9%, as we focused on diversifying our loan mix. Total deposits decreased by $32.1 million, or 10.4%, to $275.5 million at December 31, 2022 from $307.6 million at December 31, 2021, principally due to the utilization of subscription funds held in escrow to purchase shares in the initial public offering.
Total stockholders' equity was $75.3 million at December 31, 2022 compared to $49.3 million at December 31, 2021. The increase of $25.9 million relates mainly to net proceeds from the initial public offering of $27.8 million and net income earned during the previous twelve months of $622,000, partially offset by the establishment of the Company's ESOP plan, net of earned compensation of $2.5 million.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — United Nations humans rights chief Volker Türk on Monday condemned the “brutal killing” of a leading pro-democracy activist in the southern African nation of Eswatini, which is one of the world’s few remaining absolute monarchies.
Human rights lawyer Thulani Maseko was shot in his home on Saturday, Türk said in a statement.
He called on Eswatini authorities to ensure there was an independent and effective investigation into the killing.
Maseko was a leading figure in the push for Eswatini to transition into a multi-party democracy. He was imprisoned in 2014 for allegedly criticizing the judicial system’s lack of independence, the U.N. said. He was acquitted on appeal and released a year later.
Eswatini was formerly known as Swaziland and is a country of just over 1 million that borders South Africa and Mozambique. It is Africa’s last remaining absolute monarchy and has been ruled by King Mswati III since 1986.
The country was engulfed in pro-democracy protests two years ago, when there were reports of state violence against demonstrators and King Mswati III was accused of repressing any opposition.
Amnesty International said it believed Maseko was killed because of his work as a human rights lawyer and also called for a proper investigation. Maseko was reportedly shot twice through the window of his home, Amnesty said.
At the time of his death, Maseko was working as a lawyer for two people facing trial for offenses allegedly committed during the unrest in 2021, the U.N. said. | 2023-01-24T12:07:42+00:00 | keloland.com | https://www.keloland.com/news/national-world-news/ap-un-rights-chief-condemns-killing-of-activist-in-eswatini/ |
GOP, Dem Senate bargainers struggle to finalize gun deal details
Democratic and Republican senators were at odds Thursday over how to keep firearms from dangerous people as bargainers struggled to finalize details of a gun violence compromise in time for their self-imposed deadline of holding votes in Congress next week.
Lawmakers said they remained divided over how to define abusive dating partners so they could be legally barred from purchasing firearms. Disagreements were also unresolved over proposals to send money to states that have “red flag" laws that let authorities temporarily confiscate guns from people deemed dangerous by courts, and to other states for their own violence prevention programs.
Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, a lead GOP bargainer, seemed visibly unhappy as he left Thursday's closed-door session after nearly two hours, saying he was flying home. The election-year negotiations were prompted by last month's mass shootings at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, and an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, at which a total of 31 people were slain.
“This is the hardest part because at some point, you just got to make a decision. And when people don’t want to make a decision, you can’t accomplish the result. And that’s kind of where we are right now," Cornyn said.
“I'm not frustrated, I'm done," he added, though he said he was open to continued discussions.
Lawmakers have said an agreement must be completed and written into legislative language by this week's end if Congress is to vote on the legislation by next week, after which it begins a July 4 recess. Leaders want votes by then because Washington has a long record of talking about reacting to mass shootings, only to see lawmakers' and voters' interest fade quickly over time.
Other bargainers seemed more optimistic, saying much of the overall package has been agreed to and aides were drafting legislative language.
“A deal like this is difficult," Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, a lead Democratic negotiator, said when the meeting ended later. “It comes with a lot of emotions, it comes with political risk to both sides. But we’re we’re close enough that we should be able to get there."
The measure would impose just small-scale curbs on firearms. It lacks proposals by President Joe Biden and Democrats to prohibit assault-style weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines like the ones used in Buffalo and Uvalde, or to raise the legal age for purchasing assault rifles from 18 to 21.
Even so, it would be Congress’ most robust move against gun violence since 1993. A ban lawmakers enacted that year on assault weapons took effect in 1994 and expired after a decade. Scores of high-profile mass shootings since have yielded little from Washington but partisan deadlock, chiefly due to Republicans blocking virtually any new restrictions.
Twenty senators, 10 from each party, agreed to the outlines of a compromise measure last weekend. Top bargainers — Murphy, Cornyn and Sens. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., and Thom Tillis, R-N.C. — have labored ever since to translate it into details.
Their framework would include also access to the juvenile records of gun buyers age 18-20. Both shooters in Buffalo and Uvalde were 18, and both used AR-15 style automatic rifles, which can load high-capacity magazines.
The plan would also include added spending for mental health and school safety programs, tougher penalties for gun trafficking and requirements that more gun dealers obtain federal firearms licenses.
The agreement has been endorsed by Biden, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. | 2022-06-16T23:00:54+00:00 | wxii12.com | https://www.wxii12.com/article/gop-dem-senate-struggle-finalize-gun-deal/40315135 |
Around 25 people came together at Lytle Ranch Preserve, just outside St. George, to spend one day preserving roadkill specimens. The gathering contains a wide variety of community members, from students to hobbyists to government agency employees, all interested in herpetology and making use of reptiles and amphibians that have been killed by vehicles.
Throughout the course of the year, roadkill is collected from Utah, Nevada and even southeast California by Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) employees, researchers and community members. Alison Whiting, adjunct professor in biology at Brigham Young University and the curator of herpetology at the Bean Science Museum, organizes the event.
“We now have quite a network of govern government, workers, academics, and then just lay people, enthusiastic herpers, who drive around with plastic bags in their car and pick up roadkill and then take all the data, the appropriate data with it, and throw them in the freezer and save them until October, November when we have our annual pickle party,” Whiting said.
Those specimens are then preserved at these annual preservation events participants call pickling parties. This year’s group came together for one mid-November Saturday, preserving a total of 105 specimens that included ring-necked snakes, a long-nosed leopard lizard, and three Gila monsters.
The first pickle party was organized by retired herpetology professor and collection curator Jack Sites. Sites and DWR employees wanted to do something useful with reptiles that were left as roadkill. This pickling party has allowed community members, experts and government employees to come together, learn from one another while contributing to science through the preservation of animals that would otherwise be left on the road.
After thawing the specimens, all attendees participate in the processing of these animals, taking steps to ensure adequate fixation of tissues prior to long term storage.
“So we take the specimens, usually they bring them in, in coolers or something. So they've been frozen. We give them a museum number, which is a unique identifier that links that specimen with all of its data. And so we give them that number. And then we record all of the information that collecting time, place, collector, any other useful information — maybe the habitat, the type of plants that was found in or things like that, that's all recorded in a spreadsheet,” said Whiting.
Once data is recorded, a small tissue sample is taken for future DNA extraction and specimens are injected with a 10% formaldehyde solution. This solution contains formalin, a chemical that fixes proteins in tissues, preventing decomposition and allowing for long term ‘wet preservation.' The fixation and preservation processes prevent the degradation of physical structures, helping to maintain the integrity of tissues post mortem.
All specimens and corresponding data are then entered into the Bean Life Science Museum collection, and are recorded in an online database. The collection is used for primarily teaching and research purposes. Researchers from all over can request loans and tissue samples for specific research projects.
A number of studies have been conducted using the specimens preserved during this event. One group looked at the stomach contents of rattlesnakes, seeking to understand dietary changes across geographic range and whether that correlates with venom.
“They did find very cool things that the venom seems to be specific to certain geographic regions because they're eating different things," Whiting said. "And so their venom is adapting to specialize on different prey.”
The collection has played a huge role in expanding knowledge of the ranges of several species, particularly those that are rare and difficult to locate.
“I have a student who's just looking at the, the Arizona mountain kingsnake that I mentioned, that is so rare and so hard to find. And we're able to go back and just look at all of the records that we have from the pickled parties for museum specimens that have been collected," Whiting said.
The event started off small but has garnered interest throughout the years. With the increased attendance Whiting is hoping to increase accessibility by switching locations between St. George and Provo every other year. Next year’s pickle party will take place in Provo in November 2023, with hopes to expand the event. | 2022-11-22T18:17:30+00:00 | upr.org | https://www.upr.org/utah-news/2022-11-22/utah-herpetologists-preserve-roadkill-specimens-in-annual-preservation-event |

BEIRUT (AP) — U.S. authorities have seized over a dozen website domains used by sanctioned associates, businesses, and charities of Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, the Department of Justice announced Thursday.

Washington has listed the Iran-backed group as a terrorist organization, and has slapped sanctions on its members, associates, and affiliated businesses and charities over the years.
The 13 seized website domains include multiple domains for the group's al-Manar television, as well as URLs for top officials, deputy secretary general Naim Kassem, senior officials Ibrahim al-Sayed and Ali Damush, as well as affiliated charities the Martyrs' Foundation and the Emdad Committee for Islamic Charity.
The websites are no longer accessible, and only an image from American authorities announcing that they have taken the domain name appears. Al-Manar's main web address, a Lebanese domain, is still operating.

“This seizure demonstrates the FBI’s persistence in using all of our tools to hold accountable terrorists and their affiliates when they violate U.S. laws,” Assistant Director Robert R. Wells of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division said in the statement. “The FBI, along with our international partners, will continue to seek out those individuals who contribute to the advancement of Lebanese Hezbollah’s malign activities and ensure they are brought to justice, regardless of where, or how, they attempt to hide.”
Hezbollah's press office did not immediately respond inquiries from The Associated Press about the decision. | 2023-05-11T16:30:37+00:00 | seattlepi.com | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/world/article/us-authorities-takes-down-13-hezbollah-affiliated-18093899.php |

12-year-old collapses at school, gets new heart
OLATHE, Ks. (KMBC) – A 12-year-old collapsed during a physical education class at school when his heart stopped.
Teachers at Woodland Spring Middle School rushed to give Max Kotchavar CPR and used an automated external defibrillator to bring him back to life.
“It’s a miracle, and every time I see him, I cry,” said school nurse Jeannie Brumley, adding that she had never been in a situation like that on campus.
Brumley said Max was gray in the face and around the mouth and didn’t have a pulse.
Her training kicked in, and she was able to regain a pulse.
An ambulance took him to Children’s Mercy Hospital, where doctors diagnosed him with restrictive cardiomyopathy.
The 12-year-old needed a new heart.
“We weren’t expecting that at all, and it was pretty rough news to take,” the boy’s mother, Stephanie Kotchavar, said.
In mid-September, the Kotchavars got the call that Max would be getting a new heart, thanks to an organ donor.
He was up and walking around about a week after the transplant.
Max said he has a lot to look forward to, like playing eighth-grade football.
“(I) just expected the worst and it’s been anything but. He’s a miracle,” Kotchavar said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Tuesday vetoed a congressional resolution that would have reinstated tariffs on solar panel imports from Southeast Asia, settling for now a long-running dispute over whether to punish China for trade violations that bypass U.S. rules limiting imports of cheap solar panels from Asia.
The result of Biden’s veto is that a two-year delay on tariffs will continue until at least June 2024.
Lawmakers from both parties have expressed concerns about what they call unfair competition from China, which has long dominated the global market for manufacturing solar panels. Some U.S. manufacturers contend that China has essentially moved operations to four Southeast Asian countries — Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Cambodia — to skirt U.S. anti-dumping rules.
A Commerce Department inquiry last year found likely trade violations involving Chinese products and recommended steep penalties. Biden halted tariffs for two years before the Commerce investigation was completed, saying his action was needed satisfy demand for renewable energy while providing “certainty” for the solar supply chain and solar installation market.
The mere threat of up to $1 billion in retroactive tariffs and higher fees led to delays or cancellations of hundreds of solar projects across the U.S. last year. Solar installations are a key part of Biden’s agenda to fight climate change and achieve 100% clean electricity by 2035.
“America is now on track to increase domestic solar panel manufacturing capacity eight-fold by the end of my first term,” Biden said in his veto statement Tuesday. “But that production will not come online overnight.”
A two-year pause on tariffs will provide a temporary “bridge” to ensure that when new U.S. factories are operational, “we have a thriving solar installation industry ready to deploy American-made solar products to homes, businesses and communities across the nation,” Biden said.
Biden said he intends to allow the tariffs to take effect when the current suspension expires in June 2024.
The U.S. industry applauded Biden’s action, calling solar panel imports crucial as solar installations ramp up to meet increased demand for renewable energy. Less than 30% of solar panels and cells installed in the U.S. are produced here, although that number is increasing as U.S. manufacturers take advantage of tax credits included in the landmark climate law adopted last year.
Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association, said the congressional resolution threatened up to 30,000 American jobs while weakening U.S. energy security.
“The solar and storage industry must build more manufacturing capacity in America, and the two-year tariff moratorium provides a bridge for us to do just that,” Hopper said. “Curbing supply at this critical time (would) hurt American businesses and prevent us from deploying clean, reliable energy in the near-term.”
The measure on solar tariffs is among several legislative efforts being pushed by newly empowered Republicans to rebuke the Democratic president and block some of his administration’s initiatives, including a rule on clean water and a measure that allows federal retirement plan managers to consider climate change in investment plans. Biden vetoed both legislative measures aimed at undoing his administration’s actions.
Nine Democratic senators supported the reinstatement of solar tariffs, along with 12 Democrats in the House. Only one Republican senator and eight GOP House members voted against the tariff plan.
Rep. Jason Smith, R-Missouri, said restoring U.S. tariffs on the four Southeast Asian nations would hold China accountable while protecting U.S. jobs and workers. American manufacturers are facing unfair competition from China, which is subsidizing its panels and selling them at low prices, Smith and other lawmakers said.
“It’s disgusting that Biden’s actions would shield Chinese solar companies — many of which are using child and slave labor — and allow them to circumvent U.S. trade laws,″ said Sen. Rick Scott, R-Florida.
Nevada Sen. Jacky Rosen, a Democrat whose state has the nation’s most solar jobs per capita, said reinstating the tariffs would have been disastrous for the U.S. industry. Retroactive tariffs would eliminate thousands of jobs “and kill any chance we have to meet our climate goals, ‘’ she said. | 2023-05-17T00:02:59+00:00 | wric.com | https://www.wric.com/business/us-world-business/biden-vetoes-bid-by-congress-to-reinstate-tariffs-on-solar-panel-imports-from-se-asia/ |
STOCKHOLM (AP) — Sweden’s center-right coalition government wants to cut red tape when it comes to dancing by abolishing a decade-old requirement for restaurants, nightclubs and other venues to obtain permits before they let patrons shimmy and sway.
The proposal made Thursday means that venues no longer would need a license to organize dances. Instead, as a general rule, they would only have to register with the police, which can be done verbally and does not cost anything.
Applying for a permit incurs a fee of at least 700 kroner ($67) for the establishment. As it is now, owners can lose their liquor and business licenses if police officers come by and find out that a venue did not have authorization to let patrons dance.
“It is not reasonable for the state to regulate people’s dance,” Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer said in a government statement. “By removing the requirement for a dance permit, we also reduce bureaucracy and costs for entrepreneurs and others who organize dances.”
Swedish media outlets welcomed the move to abolish the dance permits, which have been called outdated and moralistic.
The government proposed having the change take effect on July 1, although it requires parliamentary approval.
In 2016, the Swedish parliament voted unanimously to do away with the permits but the requirement still exists in law and is enforced. Swedish broadcaster SVT said that for the past 20 years, lawmakers from every party except the Social Democrats have favored abolishing the permits. | 2023-01-13T19:08:32+00:00 | pahomepage.com | https://www.pahomepage.com/news/weird-news/ap-swedish-govt-moves-to-get-rid-of-permits-needed-for-dancing/ |

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Westwood Financial, a leading retail real estate investment firm, announced updates today on its financial and operational results for the three months ended June 30, 2022, which included:
- Same-Store 2022 vs 2021 GAAP Revenue and NOI were up +5.5% and +6.3%, respectively
- Executed 24 new leases totaling 62,000 square feet and 45 renewals totaling 110,000 square feet
- Achieved total leased percent of 96.3% vs 93.5% same quarter end 2021 (+280 bps)
- Achieved an inline shop leased percent of 92.8% vs 88.2% same quarter end 2021 (+460 bps)
- Achieved a total occupancy percent of 93.4% vs 92.1% same quarter end 2021 (+130 bps)
- Comparable new rent spreads were 9.8%; renewal rent spreads were 12.8%
- Acquired one property for the HILGARD STNL Fund
"The Westwood team continues to deliver remarkable results in the second quarter through superior leasing and strong income growth throughout our portfolio," stated Mark Bratt, Chief Executive Officer. "These are the highest leasing statistics in the Firm's history along with achieving excellent same-store NOI growth of 6.3% year-over-year." Given the recent volatility in the bond markets and the market sentiment of a recession on the horizon, Mr. Bratt comments that "Westwood is in a great position with a strong balance sheet that will enable us to take advantage of many opportunities over the next few quarters." Furthermore, Mr. Bratt adds that Westwood "is well insulated in this environment given that the majority of the Firm's debt remains fixed at sub-4% over the next 4 years."
The Company closed one single tenant net lease property for Hilgard (Dollar General) and put another four properties under contract which should close in the third quarter.
Mr. Bratt continued, "while macro-economic pressures persist, Westwood's grocery-anchored portfolio remains resilient. We head into the second half of 2022 with cautious optimism and are focused on not only operating effectively and efficiently, but also only acquiring properties that meet our long term financial and return expectations."

SOUTH CHARLESTON — A year ago, the Southeastern High School baseball team fell to eventual state champion Russia 6-2 in a Division IV regional semifinal game.
The Trojans led 2-0 early in the game, but gave up six runs in the fourth inning and could never recover.
The loss has served as motivation all season for the Trojans, who are back in a D-IV regional semifinal game after beating Felicity-Franklin 16-0 in five innings last week to claim their second straight district championship.
“It hurt last year losing like that with all the runs scoring in one inning,” said Trojans senior Kason Spears. “We’ll be ready.”
Southeastern (14-9) will face Bradford (21-10) in a D-IV regional semifinal game at 2 p.m. Thursday at Carleton Davidson Stadium in Springfield.
“As a senior, I’m thrilled to be back,” said Trojans senior Aiden Harbage. “I hope to be on the top end of this one. We’ve been preparing all week for it. We’re glad to be back and playing in Springfield. I’m sure it’s going to be a packed house.”
The winner will play either Russia (23-6) or Sugar Grove Berne Union (16-9) at 2 p.m. Friday, June 2, at Wright State University for a trip to the D-IV state semifinals. All tickets must be purchased online at OHSAA.org.
Southeastern is seeking its first state baseball berth since 1969.
“The end goal is to play the last game of the season,” said Trojans coach Darron Routzahn.
Bradford is led by junior pitcher Tucker Miller, who leads the Western Ohio Athletic Conference in strikeouts (107) and wins (8). He also ranks among the league’s top hitters with a .439 batting average and two home runs.
“We’ll have to start our swings early, play sound defense like we’ve been playing and have sound pitching from our staff and I think we’ll be OK,” Routzahn said.
With the game being played at Carleton Davidson Stadium, the Trojans are hoping to get a boost from the hometown crowd.
“Everybody better wear red,” Routzahn said.
Routzahn was an assistant coach in 2012 when the Trojans last played a regional semifinal game.
“It was a great experience and it was a packed house at the time,” Routzahn said. “It came down to the wire and we came up just a bit short. To play under those circumstances with a large crowd and a nice stadium with the fanatics from South Charleston supporting us, it was a great experience.”
The goal, Spears said, is to keep playing as long as possible. The Trojans are peaking at the right time, too, he said.
“It feels like we’re getting better every game the past two weeks,” Spears said. “Hopefully the bats can come alive and we’ll keep playing defense.”

There has been a lot for supporters of gay marriage to celebrate this year, including a new law that permits same-sex nuptials in New York.
Back in February, the Justice Department said it would no longer defend the federal law that restricts marriage to heterosexual couples, citing doubts about its constitutionality. This week, the White House said President Obama wants to overturn the law. On Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee will consider a bill that would do that — and for the first time give federal benefits to same-sex couples who marry.
Those benefits would have made a big difference for Ron Wallen of Indio, Calif., who spent more than a half-century with Tom Carrollo. Carrollo died in March after a long illness, a few months shy of their third wedding anniversary.
Now Wallen is not only grieving for his husband but also facing financial chaos.
"It's hard to accept that it's the American government that's throwing me out of my family home," Wallen told NPR.
Under the federal Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, a marriage must be between a man and a woman. So Wallen is not entitled to get his husband's small monthly pension or his Social Security survivors benefits, which are double the payments Wallen gets on his own.
"I lost my husband, my partner of ... 58 years and the love of my life, and now I'm going to lose the home we shared under very adverse circumstances because of this law," Wallen said.
Wallen will appear before the Senate committee Wednesday to ask lawmakers to pass the bill repealing the Defense of Marriage Act. The bill also would make clear that same-sex couples who marry are entitled to file joint tax returns, qualify for Social Security survivors benefits and enjoy other rights under federal law.
Only hours before the hearing, the White House weighed in, saying President Obama supports the bill.
A spokesman said Obama believes the federal government should not deny gay and lesbian couples the same rights as straight people.
"The president has long called for a repeal of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act, which continues to have a real impact on the lives of real people," Shin Inouye said.
Five states and the District of Columbia have legalized same-sex marriage. Same-sex marriages will begin Sunday in New York.
But Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign, says there's still a lot of misunderstanding.
"I think for many people in this country they are unaware that in states where same-sex marriage is the law of the land — like New York, like Massachusetts — we are still denied those fundamental federal benefits in those states," he said.
Many people are still angry that the Obama Justice Department walked away from the Defense of Marriage Act, leading the GOP-led House to hire a private lawyer to back the law in court challenges.
Maggie Gallagher, chairman of the National Organization for Marriage, told NPR that marriages between a man and a woman deserve a special place under the law.
"These unions are unique. They make new life. They connect children in love to their mothers and fathers," she said. "That's not bigotry. It's common sense."
The prospects for repealing DOMA this congressional session are cloudy. There's more support in the Senate than in the House, but it's likely to be a campaign issue in the next round of elections.
Wallen says he knows any change in the law is likely going to come too late to help him.
"I just want it to be right, and if not today, tomorrow, and this is the time to start it," he said. "The time is now."

Kosovo Serbs trying to take over municipality building in the north clash with police
ZVECAN, Kosovo (AP) — Ethnic Serbs in northern Kosovo clashed with police at a municipal building on Monday as they tried to take over one of the local communes where ethnic Albanian mayors entered last week with the help of authorities.
The violence was the latest incident as tensions soared over the past week, with Serbia putting the country’s military on high alert and sending more troops to the border with Kosovo, which declared independence in 2008.
Kosovo and Serbia have been foes for decades, with Belgrade refusing to recognize Kosovo’s sovereignty. The United States and the European Union have stepped up efforts to help solve the Kosovo-Serbia dispute, fearing further instability in Europe as Russia’s war rages in Ukraine. The EU has made it clear to both Serbia and Kosovo they must normalize relations to advance in their intentions to join the bloc.
On Monday, Kosovar police and the NATO-led Kosovo Force, or KFOR, were seen protecting the municipality buildings in Zvecan, Leposavic, Zubin Potok and Mitrovica, four communes that held early elections last month. They were largely boycotted by ethnic Serbs, who form the majority in those areas. Only ethnic Albanian or other smaller minority representatives were elected in the mayoral posts and assemblies.
Police said that Serbs gathered early in the morning at the three communes in the north — Zvecan, Leposavic and Zubin Potok — and in Zvecan they tried to enter violently using tear gas in their efforts to get into the public buildings. Police responded with tear gas spray, a statement said.
Serbs say they want both the new mayors, whom they called “illegal and illegitimate sheriffs,” to resign and leave offices, and special police to leave northern Kosovo, according to Goran Rakic, a Serb politician from northern Kosovo, adding that the demands were also sent to KFOR and international embassies.
Dragisa Milovic, another Serb politician in northern Kosovo, said “people have gathered to peacefully and democratically convey that we are worried about the situation and our future,” describing the situation as “pure occupation.”
KFOR said it has increased its presence in the four municipalities, including Mitrovica, “to ensure a safe and secure environment and freedom of movement for all communities in Kosovo.” It called on all sides “to refrain from actions that could inflame tensions or cause escalation” and urged both “Belgrade and Pristina to engage in the EU-led dialogue to reduce tensions and as the only way to peace and normalization.”
More than a dozen Serbs and five Kosovar police officers were injured in clashes last Friday, and Serbian troops on the border with Kosovo were put on high alert the same day.
Ethnic Serbs in northern Kosovo, who are a majority in that part of the country, tried to block recently-elected ethnic Albanian officials from entering municipal buildings. Kosovo police fired tear gas to disperse the crowd and let the new officials into the offices.
The U.S. and the EU condemned Kosovo’s government for using police to forcibly enter the municipal buildings.
On Sunday evening, France, Germany, Italy, the U.K., the U.S. and EU again issued a statement saying they strongly caution “all parties against other threats or actions which could impact on a safe and secure environment, including freedom of movement, and that could inflame tensions or promote conflict.”
At a rally Friday evening in Belgrade with his supporters, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said “Serbia won’t sit idle the moment Serbs in northern Kosovo are attacked.”
However, any attempt by Serbia to send its troops over the border would mean a clash with NATO troops stationed there.
A 2013 Pristina-Belgrade agreement on forming the Serb association was later declared unconstitutional by Kosovo’s Constitutional Court, which said the plan wasn’t inclusive of other ethnicities and could entail the use of executive powers to impose laws.
The two sides have tentatively agreed to back a EU plan on how to proceed, but tensions still simmer.
The conflict in Kosovo erupted in 1998 when separatist ethnic Albanians rebelled against Serbia’s rule, and Serbia responded with a brutal crackdown. About 13,000 people, mostly ethnic Albanians, died. NATO’s military intervention in 1999 eventually forced Serbia to pull out of the territory. Washington and most EU countries have recognized Kosovo as an independent state, but Serbia, Russia and China haven’t.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A descending look at the numbers behind Tuesday's nominations for the 95th Academy Awards.
___
90: Age of John Williams, nominated for best original score for “The Fabelmans.”
The composer's latest nomination makes him the oldest person ever to be nominated for a competitive Oscar. Director Agnès Varda and screenwriter James Ivory were each 89 years old when they were nominated in 2017. Williams' nomination is his 53rd — 48 for score and five for original song — putting him second all time to Walt Disney. He has won five, though none since 1994.
42: Years between Oscar nominations for Judd Hirsch.
That breaks a record of 41 years that was long held by Henry Fonda. Hirsch got his first supporting actor nod for “Ordinary People” in 1981, and after a long career mostly in television he gets his second, in the same category, for “The Fabelmans" at age 87.
19: Films in the inaugural Associated Press Top 25 Movies list to get at least one Oscar nomination.
The list's No. 1 “The Banshees of Inisherin” received nine nominations. No. 2 “Everything Everywhere All at Once” got 11. Those snubbed include No. 4 “Nope” and No. 5 “The Woman King.”
16: First time-nominees in the acting categories.
The 20 people in the four Oscar acting categories range from relative newbies like Paul Mescal and Stephanie Hsu to screen stalwarts like Jamie Lee Curtis and Brendan Gleeson. Those four and 12 others received their first career nominations. All five men in the best actor category are first-timers, after all five were repeat nominees last year.
14: Career nominations for Diane Warren.
The songwriter remains a nomination machine with her best original song nod for “Applause” from “Tell it Like a Woman.” It's the sixth straight year she's been nominated. She got her first nod in 1987. Her competitive Oscar count, however, remains zero, and she's not among the favorites this year with Rihanna and Lady Gaga in the mix. She was, at least, given an honorary Oscar in November.
13: All-time nominations for Poland for best international feature.
With “EO,” the European country continues an especially strong showing in the international feature category. Poland was in danger of becoming the Diane Warren of nations until “Ida” won in 2014. “EO” is also part of a big year for donkeys in film. Major nominees “The Banshees of Inisherin” and “Triangle of Sadness” also feature the creatures in prominent ways.
9: Career best director nominations for Steven Spielberg.
His nod for “The Fabelmans” puts him in rarefied company, but is not a record — that goes to William Wyler with 12. Spielberg has won the prize twice. He has been nominated 12 times as a producer of a best picture candidate, winning once, and this year gets his first nomination as a screenwriter, for co-writing “The Fabelmans” with Tony Kushner.
8: Non-English-language films ever to be nominated for both international feature and best picture.
Germany's “All Quiet on The Western Front” became the latest to pull off the nomination double. All seven of its predecessors have won the international feature Oscar but only one, “Parasite,” in 2020, also won best picture.
7: Non-white actors receiving nominations.
It was an especially strong year for actors of Asian descent, with a record four getting nominations: Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan and Hsu for “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” and Hong Chau for “The Whale."
6: Ways Alfonso Cuarón has been nominated for Oscars.
Few knew the Oscar perennial behind “Roma” and “Gravity” was even Academy Award-eligible this year, but he got his first nomination in the short film category for “Le Pupille,” after previous nominations as a producer, director, editor, writer and cinematographer.
5: Writers credited for “Top Gun: Maverick.”
With a story by Peter Craig and Justin Marks and a screenplay by Ehren Kruger and Eric Warren, it'll be a crowded stage at the Dolby Theatre on March 12 if the surprise nominee in the best adapted screenplay category pulls off a surprise win.
4: Duos in history nominated for best director.
The “Daniels,” Kwan and Scheinert, become the fourth pair to get the honor with their nomination for “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” Two of the three previous teams have won. Jerome Robbins and Robert Wise were nominated and won for co-directing the original “West Side Story” in 1962. Joel and Ethan Coen were nominated, and won, for co-directing “No Country for Old Men” in 2008, and got another nom for “True Grit” three years later. And actor Warren Beatty and screenwriter Buck Henry were jointly nominated for best director in 1979 for “Heaven Can Wait."
3: Best picture nominees that earned more than $100 million at the North American box office.
Blockbusters are back in the running for Oscar's top honor, with “Top Gun: Maverick,”“Avatar: The Way of Water,” and “Elvis" getting nominations — reversing a trend of increasingly smaller and straight-to-streaming films dominating the category.
2: Career nominations for Ryan Coogler.
The “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” director joins a rare group that has been nominated both as a producer for best picture — as he was for “Judas and the Black Messiah” in 2020 — and as a writer of a best original song — as he was for Rihanna's “Lift Me Up” this year. Others to pull off this double include Quincy Jones, Spike Jonez, Barbara Streisand, and Fran Walsh, who became the only person to win in both categories, for “The Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King,” in 2004.
1: Lifetime Oscar nomination for blockbuster producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
The 79-year-old behind “Flashdance," “Con Air” and “The Pirates of the Caribbean” has his first shot at a statuette with the best picture nomination of “Top Gun: Maverick.”
0: Women nominated for best director.
After a couple of years of trend-bucking with back-to-back wins for women in the category, the Academy is back to its historic norm of nominating only men for best director.

Task one in Trump Organization trial: Picking a neutral jury
Donald Trump's company goes on trial Monday in a criminal tax case and the first task facing the court is a big one: Picking a jury of New Yorkers who don't have a strong opinion about the former president.
Manhattan prosecutors say the Trump Organization helped top executives avoid income taxes on job perks such as rent-free apartments and luxury cars.
Trump himself isn't on trial and isn't expected to testify. But the judge and lawyers in the case will likely be looking to keep people off the jury if they have unshakably strong feelings about the Republican, who isn't liked in his hometown.
In the 2020 presidential election, 87% of Manhattan voters supported Democrat Joe Biden for president. Trump got 12% of the vote.
Once jury selection is complete, Judge Juan Manuel Merchan has said he expects the trial to last at least four weeks.
The trial is expected to center on the actions and testimony of longtime Trump Organization executive Allen Weisselberg, who pleaded guilty in August to taking in more than $1.7 million worth of untaxed perks from the company.
Trump has decried the probe as a "political witch hunt." The company's lawyers have said it played by the rules.
If convicted, the Trump Organization could be fined more than $1 million. A guilty verdict could hamper the company's ability to get loans and make deals.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg inherited the prosecution when he took office in January. Bragg has taken a cautious approach with Trump, declining so far to bring charges against him personally in what's now a three-year investigation.
The jury selection process could take several days, especially if people in the pool express reservations about their ability to be neutral.
Getting a panel with an open mind, though, could be critical to avoiding a mistrial.
In the spring, another trial in a nearby federal courthouse ended in a mistrial because of tensions between jurors about political views. That case involved associates of former Trump adviser Steve Bannon who were accused of defrauding a charity founded to help pay for a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico.
Eleven jurors, in that case, sent a note to the judge asking another juror to be removed because that person had shown an anti-government bias and accused all the others of being liberals. The judge declined and the jury ultimately couldn't agree on a verdict. | 2022-10-24T16:20:36+00:00 | wmur.com | https://www.wmur.com/article/trump-organization-trial-jury-selection/41754187 |
GOLDEN, Colo. (KDVR) — Afternoon storms continued to soak areas along the foothills on Sunday.
In Jefferson County, the City of Golden and the sheriff’s office closed portions of Clear Creek. Low-lying areas near Lyons in Boulder County were being monitored for flooding by the Boulder County Office of Disaster Management and first responders.
Spring snow runoff is higher than last year causing high water levels and a faster current in creeks and rivers.
“Anybody who’s been caught in an undertow in the ocean the same kind of dynamics happen in the river,” Lieutenant Jeff Hulse of the Golden Fire Department said.
Hulse told FOX31 that Clear Creek is running at more than 7,400 gallons of water per second as of 3 a.m. Sunday.
“Keep an eye on your kids, pets, anybody not specifically equipped to deal with water with these kind of flow rates,” Hulse said.
Swift water rescue training during fast rapids
Members of Dive Rescue International are conducting Swift Water Rescue Training in Clear Creek this week.
The highly trained professionals are executing maneuvers in the water, but others should not attempt to brave the rapids while danger warnings are posted.
“Every year we do have a few people who decide to jump in and take the risk,” Hulse, who explained that two successful water rescues have taken place so far this year, said.
Barry, an experienced kayaker describes the water as “definitely dangerous.”
A red flag is posted near the creek warning that swimming and tubing are prohibited.
Kayaks, whitewater canoes and multi-chambered professionally guided rafts are allowed on the water but extreme caution is advised.
“I think the biggest thing is just knowing your skill level,” Barry said.
Kayakers and paddleboarders are required to wear a Coast Guard-approved paddling life jacket and a proper helmet.
“Just kind of take it slow,” one kayaker said.
A double red flag means no one is allowed on the creek, including experienced kayakers and paddleboarders.
Hiking can be dangerous, detrimental too
Trails will remain muddy for several days. Jefferson County encourages hikers to consider the repair process when making their way through the terrain.
“Try to go through the mud so you don’t widen the trail,” Chris, who regularly hikes along the creek, said.
Jeffco spokesperson Matt Robbins told FOX31 that trails are constructed to prevent erosion.
First responders warn tourists and residents who spend time along the creek that the water can be deceiving.
The surface can look manageable but the current underneath can be so strong that it will be impossible to stand up, which is especially dangerous for children and animals. The water is churning sharp debris and jagged rocks sit on the creek’s floor.
Animals should be leashed and not allowed to swim in the creek for their own safety.
Safety precautions in place
Closures are initiated by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office in conjunction with the Golden Police Department.
Temporary restrictions apply to Clear Creek in unincorporated Jefferson County and portions of Clear Creek within the City of Golden, including Vanover Park.
Jefferson County reports that Clear Creek is a Type IV water area which increases public risk due to water temperature, blasted rock, undercut rocks, potential strainers and other elements.
Drivers and pedestrians should use caution near flooded streets and other areas as well.
The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office told FOX31 that the St. Vrain Creek is running high due to spring runoff and Button Rock Dam is at spillover level.
Drivers should consider that flooded streets can be deceptively deep. Pedestrians should avoid standing water which could be contaminated.
Boulder County told FOX31 water levels usually peak overnight. As little as 6 inches of water can cause pedestrians to fall while 18 inches can float a car. | 2023-06-12T04:37:55+00:00 | kdvr.com | https://kdvr.com/news/local/storms-create-more-flood-warnings-for-foothills-creeks-and-neighborhoods/ |

If you like to cook or bake, keeping a can of butter powder in your pantry can be incredibly useful. But if you’ve never heard of butter powder before, you might be scratching your head right now.
Powdered butter is dehydrated, shelf-stable butter that’s kept in the cupboard rather than the refrigerator. It eliminates the need for sticks or tubs of butter, both of which have shorter expiration dates and should be refrigerated.
If you think that sounds weird, think back to the last time you used a packet of dehydrated cheese to make a delicious dish of mac and cheese. It’s similar to that — it starts as a powder and becomes creamy and smooth once it mixes with a liquid.
What Is Butter Powder Used For?
Like powdered milk or powdered peanut butter, powdered butter acts as an instant replacement for the real thing. To rehydrate it, simply add water; however, rehydrating is completely optional.
Let’s say you need to perk up a drab sauce, add zest to popcorn, make vegetables savory or toast more flavorful. Just add a little butter powder as a seasoning! You can use it anywhere you’d use real butter, such as when you’re topping biscuits or waffles. While reconstituted butter powder can’t melt in a pan, it will add a milky flavor to meals.
You can also use it in place of regular butter when you’re baking. Simply treat it as a dry ingredient instead of a wet one.
How Is Butter Powder Made?
When it’s produced on a large-scale level by companies preparing it for purchase, butter powder is made by spray drying, a process in which butter is melted, sprayed into a hot chamber and dehydrated. This allows for fast evaporation of liquids, leaving only powder behind.
Thankfully, this means powdered butter contains very few additives. Take this Hoosier Hill Farm Real Butter Powder, for example. The ingredients listed are butter (sweet cream, salt and annatto color) and nonfat milk solids. For It’s Just! GrassFed Butter Powder, the ingredient list includes only pasteurized cream and milk solids.
What Are The Benefits Of Butter Powder?
The main benefit of butter powder, as compared to real butter, is that it can help you save money if you don’t use a lot of butter often. If you’ve ever had to pitch an outdated dairy product, you know how frustrating it can be when you need it and you don’t have a fresh quantity available.
Manufacturers of butter powder claim an unopened canister will last for ages — up to 10 years if unopened and 6-12 months if opened, but it’s always wise to check the expiration date. Once you open the can, write the date with a Sharpie on the side as a quick way to keep an eye on how long it’s been opened. If it ever smells funky or tastes weird, it’s probably spoiled and needs to be tossed.
Making Your Own Butter Powder
Instead of purchasing premade butter powder, you can whip it up yourself. Yes, really!
If going the DIY route, follow Allrecipes’ lead and melt the unsalted butter, then let it cool. Add the same amount of nonfat dry milk powder to create a paste. Once it dries completely, mix it in the blender to form a powder and then store it in an airtight container.
Since it needs to be kept in a cool, dark place, keep your powdered butter away from the cabinet above the stove. It’ll stay fresh for a long time and doesn’t need to be refrigerated, but do keep reconstituted paste in your fridge.
Butter powder is also good to keep in your long-term emergency prep kit as a way to reduce your dependency on food supply chains. Next time you head out into the wilderness to camp, take a little baggie of it with you to flavor scrambled eggs and campfire toast. You’ll be glad you did!

After days of anticipation, there was a relative sense of calm, if also uncertainty, in the minutes and hours that followed the expiration of Title 42.
The pandemic-era policy severely limited immigration to the U.S., nearly halting the processing of asylum applications for over three years.
As the policy was formally lifted on Thursday at 11:59 p.m. ET, security officials were bracing for an unprecedented influx of migrants along the southern U.S. border — some estimates suggested as many as 150,000 migrants might arrive in the hopes of crossing over.
Instead, the number of border crossings remained steady, according to Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Blas Nuñez-Neto.
"Overnight, we saw similar patterns to what we've seen over the past several days," he told reporters during a midday briefing call on Friday. "We continue to encounter high levels of non-citizens at the border but we did not see a substantial increase overnight or an influx at midnight."
Though the anticipation may have been overblown, Friday still marked the start of a new era of immigration — a change that may take months to come into clearer focus.
NPR and member station reporters spent Friday observing the start of that change from the U.S.-Mexico border, across the country and inside the halls of power. Here's some of what they saw:
Migrants, afraid and confused, weighed whether to cross
For migrants along the Juárez–El Paso border, there was an understanding that Title 42 had lifted, but confusion remained about what that would mean for the future.
Alejandra Gonzalez fled Venezuela with her husband and stepson. She told NPR that they tried to turn themselves into border patrol in El Paso before the policy ended. But, after waiting out in the hot sun for days, she said, they never got the chance.
Now, they're back in Ciudad Juárez — sleeping in a tent on the street and afraid to try crossing again.
"If we turned ourselves in, we might be deported or detained or jailed," Gonzalez said in Spanish. "And I feel a lot of doubt and fear."
In the early morning hours of Friday, Raquel Garrido, 23, stood on the banks of the Rio Grande river in Matamoros, assessing whether to wade through the waters with her 10-month-old baby.
Dozens of other migrants living in an encampment in Matamoros decided to swim across the Rio Grande to enter the U.S..
But after making the long journey from Venezuela, Garrido worried about her fate once she crossed. Troops from the Texas National Guard and Operation Lone Star erected a barbed wire fence on the U.S. side.
"I don't know whether to go through that river," she said. "It's not so much the river, it's the barbed wire."
Garrido ultimately decided to stay in Mexico. The next day, immigration officials told Texas Public Radio that two people had almost drowned while trying to cross into Brownsville, Texas, overnight.
Later in the day, officials at the Matamoros-Brownsville crossing began allowing 50 people per day to cross legally and seek asylum.
The Biden administration stopped the practice, known as metering, last year because it incentivizes more people to cross illegally between international bridges. U.S. Customs and Border Protection did not immediately respond to TPR's questions about whether the policy has returned or is being implemented elsewhere along the border.
On Friday, Texas Public Radio saw 40 adults and 10 children line up at the Gateway International Bridge while thousands of other people weighed whether they should wait for their spot or cross illegally.
Churches, shelters and cities across the country prepared to see more migrants
On the other side of the border, nonprofit groups and city officials were preparing for a massive surge in migrant arrivals.
Oak Lawn United Methodist Church, in Dallas, told NPR member station KERA that it was prepared to receive five times more migrants after Title 42 expired.
One temporary shelter in Houston, run by the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, said that only about 15% of the 3,000 migrants it has served since October chose to remain in Houston. The rest took flights to cities like Chicago and New York.
New York City was also bracing for an influx of migrants.
On Thursday, several dozen migrants in the city were put on a bus to get to a hotel in Orange County, N.Y., as part of a plan from Mayor Eric Adams to stem the overcrowding of shelters.
Adams sent the bus despite the vociferous objections from officials in Orange and Rockland counties, reported Gothamist.
Two other counties in New York state, Broome and Schulyer, joined Orange and Rockland officials "in declaring a state of emergency and corresponding executive order meant to bar hotels, motels and short-term rental establishments from contracting with New York City to house asylum seekers."
DHS enacted new asylum rules; lawsuits challenged those rules
For now, people who enter the U.S. illegally could be banned from returning for at least five years, and repeat offenders could face prosecution. And many migrants at the southern border will need to show they were first turned down by a country they crossed into before asking the U.S. for asylum.
Those asylum restrictions, announced on Wednesday, have proved controversial. Immigration advocacy groups, including the ACLU, filed a lawsuit to stop them just moments after they took effect, comparing them to Trump administration efforts that courts have blocked in the past.
Separately, a federal judge in Florida ruled late Thursday that migrants could not be released from custody without a court date. U.S. Representative Veronica Escobar said she feared the ruling would lead to migrants dying in detention.
"We saw severe overcrowding during the Trump administration and that severe overcrowding caused lost lives," Escobar said during a press call with reporters Friday. "Children died in custody during the Trump administration, they died of flu-like infections and not being treated ... but it came from severe overcrowding."
In a statement, Customs and Border Protection said it would comply with the order but called the ruling "harmful" and said it would lead to "unsafe overcrowding."
Nuñez-Neto, the senior immigration official at Homeland Security, said it's ultimately up to Congress to enact immigration reform. He said the Biden administration has been reaching out to lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, asking them to come together to find a bipartisan solution.
"The bottom line is we are seeing these surges of migration now for going on 20 years under presidents of both political parties," Nuñez-Neto said. "And so, at the end of the day, we are clear-eyed that there is no lasting solution here that does not involve the U.S. Congress stepping up."

(KDVR) — Gas prices soared to historic levels and seemingly peaked in mid-June across the country, but consumers shouldn’t expect prices to plummet as quickly as they rose.
According to data from GasBuddy, the national average peaked at just over $5 per gallon last month and now sits at $4.75 per gallon for the first week of July. So is the worst behind us when it comes to gas prices?
“It may, but the truth is we don’t know,” said GasBuddy lead petroleum analyst Patrick De Haan. “We still could see a hurricane or some unexpected disruption. Keep in mind there have been some improvements to supply.”
De Haan said the high prices are boosting oil refineries’ utilization rates, so they are incentivized to produce as much as possible.
Despite the ramp-up in supply, the market dynamics of the people who set the price of gasoline at the pump make it difficult for prices to fall as fast as they surged. It’s a dynamic described as rockets and feathers, that after rising like a rocket, the fall floats more like a feather.
“Contrary to popular belief, stations don’t actually make money when prices are going up,” De Haan said. “That’s because there’s a lag time of two to five days. If you’re the first station to buy more expensive gasoline, you’re stuck selling it under cost in certain circumstances because your competitors may not have bought that gasoline.”
De Haan said stations can take roughly three to five days to fill tanks, and because of the lag, stations are careful to raise prices and lose out to competition across the street that hasn’t had to refill on more expensive gas during a surge.
“When prices trend up, stations are doing far worse,” De Haan said. “They make up for that loss by slowly passing along price decreases.”
De Haan also pointed out the sense of urgency in consumers when prices are falling: they are less likely to shop around the market because of the relative savings from the last time they filled up.
“That’s why consumers shouldn’t be asleep when prices are down,” De Haan said. “They should be shopping around when prices are rising and falling.” | 2022-07-08T23:57:41+00:00 | wcia.com | https://www.wcia.com/news/national/why-do-gasoline-prices-fall-slower-than-they-rise/ |

ISLAMABAD (AP) — A 5.1 magnitude earthquake on Tuesday jolted the Afghan city of Faizabad, the capital city of northeastern Badakhshan province, a Taliban official said.
Abdul Wahid Rayan, the director of the Taliban news agency Bakhtar, said the center of the quake was Shaghnan district and it was felt in other parts of the province.
He had no information on any casualties or damage caused by the quake, but local media reported it was felt around 350 kilometers away in northern Balkh province.
In June, a powerful earthquake ignited another crisis in the struggling country, underscoring the Taliban’s limited capabilities and isolation. United Nations officials said at the time that 770 people were killed, while the Taliban put the death toll at 1,150.
Overstretched aid groups already keeping millions of Afghans alive rushed supplies to victims of the June quake, but most countries responded tepidly to the Taliban’s calls for international help.
The international cutoff of Afghanistan’s financing has deepened the country’s economic collapse and fueled its humanitarian crises. | 2022-10-12T22:19:38+00:00 | qcnews.com | https://www.qcnews.com/news/world-news/ap-taliban-says-5-1-earthquake-jolts-northeastern-afghanistan/ |

In partnership with wear blue: run to remember and AutoNation, TrueCar awards college graduate with new vehicle
SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- TrueCar, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRUE), the easiest, most efficient and transparent online destination for buying and selling new and used vehicles, is awarding Elisabeth Nylander, a Gold Star Family member, with a new vehicle through its DrivenToDrive initiative. The initiative is made possible in partnership with wear blue: run to remember and AutoNation, America's largest and most admired automotive retailer.
Elisabeth Nylander, 20, is the daughter of fallen service member, Air Force Captain Nathan Nylander, who lost his life in battle during the War in Afghanistan. To honor the sacrifices he made, Elisabeth was presented with a new Chevrolet Equinox at a wear blue event in Washington, D.C. earlier this month in an effort to support the Nylander family and Elisabeth's continued dedication to serve other Gold Star families as part of her volunteer work. TrueCar partnered with ACERTUS, an omnichannel automotive logistics platform with the shared commitment of supporting American military veterans, to deliver the vehicle from Washington D.C. to Florida to assist with Elisabeth's recent move.
"I am so incredibly grateful to have been given the opportunity to share my father's legacy and values through this process," said Elisabeth Nylander. "I am so thankful for the support that TrueCar has provided me as I begin graduate school and my new life in Washington D.C. I cannot thank TrueCar enough for providing me with a brand new car."
Much like her father, Elisabeth is a driven and high-achieving individual, graduating high school at the age of 17 and recently graduating college this May. She is committed to her community and supporting military service members through an internship at TAPS (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors) while also actively volunteering with wear blue. Elisabeth will begin a master's program this fall in forensic and legal psychology at Marymount University in Arlington, VA. She plans to focus her studies on investigations to achieve her career goal of working with the federal government to help bring closure to people who have lost loved ones like she has.
"As we've gotten to know Elisabeth, it's clear how passionate she is about giving back and improving the lives of others—values that we also cherish at TrueCar," said David Green, SVP of Dealer Solutions and Military Initiatives at TrueCar. "We're thrilled to have an opportunity to give back to Elisabeth through the DrivenToDrive initiative, so she can begin the next chapter of her life with renewed independence and a focus on supporting her communities."
TrueCar's DrivenToDrive initiative was started in 2016, inspired by Army Ranger and DrivenToDrive ambassador, Cory Remsburg, who was severely injured while serving in Afghanistan. The program is designed to honor the sacrifices made by the members who serve, and their families by supporting their mobility needs. This marks the seventh consecutive vehicle awarded through the DrivenToDrive program.
"I am in awe of the courage and passion of our surviving families. Elisabeth Nylander is an incredible example of how to live inspired by life, rather than broken by sacrifice. TrueCar has turned the words 'Thank you for your service and sacrifice' into tangible meaningful action, and I am honored to collaborate this Memorial Day. Together, we will ensure that generations of American heroes are honored and remembered," said Lisa Hallett, Executive Director at wear blue.
"AutoNation is proud to partner with TrueCar once again, to support veterans and their families through the DrivenToDrive initiative, and we are honored to recognize Gold Star Family member, Elisabeth Nylander, in honor of her father's dedication to our country," stated Marc Cannon, Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Experience Officer at AutoNation. "We hope this new vehicle will support her continued drive and perseverance in memory of her father."

What is Amazon’s Prime Day Audible offer?
Amazon’s massive Prime Day sales event is just around the corner, taking place July 11 and 12. But you don’t have to wait until then to score some of the best and biggest deals. One such deal is a free Audible Premium Plus membership for three straight months. Normally, one month of Premium Plus is $15 so that’s a $45 value. You don’t have to decide if that’s something you’re interested in right away since access lasts until July 31. The only catch is that you have to be an Amazon Prime member to redeem the offer.
What is Audible?
Audible is Amazon’s service that provides members access to a range of audio-based entertainment. It’s best known for its huge library of audiobooks, including many that are exclusive to Audible. It also includes podcasts, music or white noise to help you sleep as well as meditation aides.
How does Audible work?
Audible content is typically accessed through memberships. You can also buy audiobooks piecemeal without a membership, though you still need an Amazon account to make those purchases and keep track of your digital collection. You don’t need an Amazon Prime account to use Audible.
What are the different Audible memberships?
The two Audible memberships are called Audible Plus and Audible Premium Plus.
- Audible Plus costs $7.95 a month and gives you access to a curated selection of Audible originals and other audiobooks.
- Audible Premium Plus, the membership offered in the Prime Day deal, costs $14.95 a month and includes everything in Audible Plus. It also gives you one credit a month you can use to “buy” an audiobook of your choosing. There’s also a two-credit version of Premium Plus that costs $22.95 a month and annual versions of both the one- and two-credit plans that cost $149.50 and $229.50 a year, respectively.

Two New Fully Diverse Entrances to Flexential's Portland - Hillsboro 2 Data Center Enable Global Connectivity
HILLSBORO, Ore., Jan. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A new agreement between Bandwidth Infrastructure Group (Bandwidth IG), one of the fastest-growing pure-play dark fiber providers, and Flexential, a leading provider of data center colocation, cloud and connectivity, will deliver more access to in-demand dark fiber routes in the emerging data center hub of Hillsboro, Oregon. Bandwidth IG is expanding its Hillsboro area dark fiber network to include Flexential's Portland - Hillsboro 2 data center. The expansion will deliver added capacity and diverse routes for customers and carriers utilizing one of the most sought-after data centers, known as the 'NAP of the Northwest'.
Bandwidth IG will deliver connectivity through two new entrances which are currently under construction at the Hillsboro 2 data center. The services will be deployed this spring, allowing Flexential customers to meet growing demands for connectivity and ensure access to a diverse, redundant dark fiber network needed to empower modern enterprise applications. The addition of Bandwidth IG's dark fiber network supports broader connectivity to Flexential's three other data centers in Hillsboro, as well as additional data centers in the region. The new connectivity will provide additional access to one of the largest scale data center footprints in Oregon, which will offer over 100MW of actively deployed capacity at Flexential facilities in the region at full build-out.
"Hillsboro is a rapidly expanding part of our network because of its position as a global hub for connectivity and computing," said Bruce Garrison, CEO for Bandwidth IG. "Working with Flexential is a crucial part of delivering much-needed dark fiber services to hyperscalers and enterprises, as well as other data centers in the region. We look forward to growing our relationship by delivering more diverse routes to additional Flexential data centers in Hillsboro."
Flexential's Hillsboro 2 data center has quickly become one of the most in-demand facilities for U.S.-based and international customers. The site offers a dense ecosystem of carriers, service providers and enterprise customers and also delivers direct access to the New Cross Pacific and Hawaiki transpacific subsea cables providing direct, low latency connectivity between the U.S. and Asia-Pacific. It's also a preferred location for future subsea cables.
"As demand for increased connectivity rises, it's paramount for our customers that we introduce more diverse options to support their need for added capacity and redundancy," said Ryan Mallory, COO for Flexential. "Our collaboration with Bandwidth IG further expands our ecosystem enabling customers in the Hillsboro market to build and grow on our national FlexAnywhere™ platform, which now offers access to over 220MW and more than 3 million square feet of data center capacity. We look forward to continued investment in the Pacific Northwest region to solve capacity needs through increased fiber, conduit capacity and carrier density."
Upon completion of the Hillsboro 2 data center project, Flexential customers can take advantage of Bandwidth IG's growing fiber network. Bandwidth IG will continue to invest in the Hillsboro market to give customers more network optionality and resiliency.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- NASB Financial, Inc. (OTCQX: NASB) and its thrift subsidiary North American Savings Bank, F.S.B. (together "NASB" or the "Company") announced on Friday, January 6, 2023, that it is exiting the Company's consumer direct lending business that originates residential loans nationwide for sale in the secondary market. The Company's commitment to national and local residential lending for its portfolio is unchanged and will continue to be a major part of the bank's loan production going forward. In addition, NASB's Kansas City residential construction and land development lending remains a focus, as does its national commercial real estate lending.
"This was a difficult decision, but we believe that it is in the best interest of the Company, given the current challenging market conditions highlighted by rapid interest rate increases in 2022, low or shrinking housing inventory, and double-digit median home price increases," said Tom Wagers, NASB's CEO.
As a result of exiting this business, the Company currently estimates that it will incur total pre-tax charges of approximately $3.8 million to $4.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, with personnel costs comprising approximately 40%, contractual terminations comprising approximately 40%, and other associated costs comprising approximately 20% of the total pre-tax charges. The Company currently estimates that exiting this business will result in total future cash payments in the range of $3.4 million to $4.2 million.
NASB Financial, Inc. is a unitary thrift holding company for North American Savings Bank, F.S.B. Since 1927, NASB has been serving the financial needs of customers by providing an array of personal banking and lending products in the Kansas City metro area. Nationwide, NASB offers competitive residential and commercial mortgages with the safety and security of a Federal institution. For more information, visit nasb.com.

Disney has planned out the next decade of Marvel and Star Wars films, but are audiences still willing to keep up with all its content, or is fatigue setting in?
When Disney bought Star Wars and Marvel for a total $8.05 billion, it made a big bet that audiences would consistently keep up with the interconnected storylines that span movies, television shows and video games.
But while the franchises remain relatively successful, there are signs that audiences are starting to feel fatigue. Marvel’s most recent film, “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” was panned, Star Wars fans criticized the most recent trilogy of films, and Disney CEO Bob Iger recently said it may be time for the company to reconsider its investments in the two franchises.
So, is the fatigue real? And are fans still willing to invest so much time in Star Wars and Marvel content?

With access to abortion flickering in Louisiana, the legal battle over the statewide ban continues with a court hearing scheduled to begin Monday morning.
State District Judge Donald Johnson issued a temporary order last week blocking enforcement pending the hearing in a lawsuit that claims the state law is unconstitutionally vague.
Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry's office will argue that the state ban is constitutional and should no longer be blocked. Attorneys for a north Louisiana abortion clinic and other supporters of legal abortion want Johnson to keep blocking enforcement as their lawsuit plays out.
“The courts are an extremely important avenue for this fight,” Joanna Wright, an attorney for the north Louisiana clinic that is the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit, said last week. “I think that this is a national moment and a national dialogue, and the courts are one way that we are having that dialogue.”
Johnson's order last week freed Louisiana's three abortion clinics in Shreveport, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans to resume operations. One, Hope Medical Group for Women clinic in Shreveport, said it would continue abortion procedures. A spokeswoman for the two others said the clinics are open but would not schedule new patients until after Monday's hearing.
The statewide abortion ban, which does not have exceptions for victims of rape and incest, has taken effect twice and been blocked twice since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned its historic Roe v. Wade ruling on June 24. Louisiana's law includes “trigger language” designed to make it effective when the Supreme Court reversed abortion rights.
In the suit, which originated in New Orleans, plaintiffs don’t deny that the state can now ban abortion. But they contend that Louisiana now has multiple, conflicting trigger mechanisms in the law. They also argue that the state law is unclear on whether it bans abortion before a fertilized egg implanting in the uterus.
And while the law provides an exception for “medically futile” pregnancies in cases of fetuses with fatal abnormalities, the plaintiffs note it gives no definition of the term and that state health officials haven’t yet provided a list of conditions that would qualify.
Landry, in a filing last week, argued that the law “needs only to delineate what is illegal — not define what is legal.”
“The rule of law must be followed, and I will not rest until it is,” Landry recently tweeted.
A New Orleans judge issued a temporary order blocking enforcement of the ban on June 27, but nearly two weeks later, a second New Orleans judge sent the case to Baton Rouge, saying state law required that it be heard in the capital.
Johnson issued a second temporary restraining order on July 11.

With the June 7 primary election concluded, there remains an additional vote to be tallied: the Pajaro River assessment with the cutoff for returning ballots today.
This assessment was not on the June primary ballot but was mailed to 3,000-plus affected parcel owners in North Monterey County and the Pajaro Valley whose properties are near the river.
If approved, it will require these owners to make up for a shortfall in operations and maintenance budgets that provide for the current, unacceptable, flood protection offered by the river levees. Perhaps more importantly, the assessment also will unlock $400 million in federal funding that will finally, lead to a much improved levee system that could offer protections from a 100-year flood.
For affected parcel owners, we urge them, if they have not already done so, to return the ballots today with an agreement to assess themselves.
While the last major Pajaro River flood happened in 1995 (which killed two people and left more than $95 million in damages), storms in 2017 brought the river nearly to the brink again. The levee system in place dates back to 1949 and public agencies and officials have known for decades it is outmoded and offers scant protection against disastrous floods. The system of levees in place, moreover, offers the lowest level of protection in California.
This has been known for decades. What’s changed is that the project to increase flood protection finally looks like it will be funded through the $400 million Pajaro River Flood Risk Management Project, managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in partnership with the state and the newly formed Pajaro Regional Flood Management Agency.
Not only would this project provide up to 100-year flood protection for thousands of properties in the Pajaro River area, but once it is completed, property owners will be free from having to carry expensive mandatory flood insurance.
And it gets better: the Army Corps and the state will pay 100% of the project design and construction costs.
But to get this federal and state funding, the local community has to provide enough funding for operations and maintenance of the levees so they meet federal standards. The budget for these maintenance costs, though, has a shortfall of $1.2 million.
If the assessment is approved by property owners (as low as $16 a month for some, much more for owners of larger parcels and farms), the Flood Management Agency will assume responsibilities for levee maintenance.
John Martinelli, chairman of the board of Watsonville’s S. Martinelli & Company, made the case for the assessment in a recent letter to the Sentinel. Here is a section of what he wrote:
“Both my great-grandfathers immigrated to Watsonville in the 1850s. Not long after they first arrived, they were introduced to one of our region’s greatest threats to lives and livelihoods: flooding from the Pajaro River and its tributaries. Soon after arriving, my great-grandfather Stephano Martinelli, a farmer by trade, planted a wheat crop along the Pajaro River. Within a year, he lost his investment to a flood, so he went to work for his older brother Luigi, who was growing apples on what is now Martinelli Street. Although that twist of fate worked out for my family, many others were not so lucky …
“To prevent repeated flood events, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built earthen levees along the river and creeks in 1945, which are still in place and relatively unchanged today. Ten short years later, people were rowing boats down Main Street following a levee failure caused by a 25-year storm on the Pajaro River and Corralitos Creek. …The existing levees have proven time and again to be woefully inadequate, and are rated at among the lowest level of flood protection in the state and nation.
“…The Corps estimates a major flood on the Watsonville side would cause $1 billion in damages. A flood of that magnitude would devastate our company …The resulting loss of our employees’ homes and livelihood, multiplied across every employer in our downtown community, would destroy our local economy for many years to come. …
“If the assessment is not approved by property owners we’ll lose a once-in-a-lifetime chance to protect our properties from flooding.” | 2022-06-08T13:21:00+00:00 | santacruzsentinel.com | https://www.santacruzsentinel.com/2022/06/08/editorial-deadline-on-approving-vital-pajaro-river-assessment/ |

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Lars Nootbaar provided St. Louis' first run in four games with a solo homer, and then rookie Brendan Donovan gave the NL Central leaders an even bigger lift.
Donovan hit his first career grand slam slam in the seventh inning to lead Albert Pujols and the Cardinals to a 5-4 victory against the San Diego Padres on Thursday, snapping a three-game losing streak.
Pujols was among the first teammates to greet Donovan in the dugout.
“It was one of the bigger swings I've had this year so that was cool for me," Donovan said.
Pujols remained at 698 career homers, although he did drive two balls to deep left field, one for a single and one for an out on the warning track. The next stop in his pursuit of the 700-homer club is Dodger Stadium, where the Cardinals open a three-game series on Friday.
Manny Machado hit his 30th homer for the Padres, who had won five in a row. They currently hold the NL's No. 2 wild-card spot.
Donovan's slam made a winner of Jack Flaherty (1-1), who struck out nine in six innings. He allowed three runs, two earned, on four hits and four walks.
Giovanny Gallegos pitched the ninth for his 14th save.
The Cardinals, who had been shut out in their previous three games, got on the board when Nootbaar led off the fifth with a drive to right against Joe Musgrove for his 13th homer. That ended a scoreless streak of 31 2/3 innings by Padres starters, five outs shy of the club record.
“We know we have a great team and a great offense that’s going to turn at any point," Donovan said. "It was just a matter of who was going to do it. I’m pumped for Lars. That’s a big swing.”
Musgrove was gone after five innings and 72 pitches, and Adrian Morejon breezed through a perfect sixth to hold a 3-1 lead.
Alec Burleson singled leading off the seventh and Nootbaar drew a one-out walk, leading manager Bob Melvin to bring on Nick Martinez (4-4). Tommy Edman walked to load the bases before Donovan drove his first career grand slam deep to right-center.
Donovan said he was looking to drive a ball to the biggest part of the field and bring in a run when he connected on a 3-1 cutter. It was his fifth homer this season.
“It just kind of ran into my barrel a little more than I thought it would. I was still running hard. You never know," he said.
Asked what going through his mind, he added: “Don't miss the base. ... I'm just running hard and make sure I hit all the bases on the way by."
Pujols, who plans to retire after this season, one-hopped the wall in left for a single in the second. He popped up in the fourth and then hit a drive off Morejon that Jurickson Profar caught on the track for the final out of the sixth. He flied out to center in the eighth.
Profar drove Flaherty's second pitch deep into the seats in right for his fourth career leadoff homer and third of the season. He has 15 overall. Profar also hit an RBI double in the fifth.
Musgrove allowed one run and five hits, struck out four and walked two.
A CLIPPERS THING
Norman Powell of the Los Angeles Clippers, who went to San Diego's Lincoln High, threw out a ceremonial first pitch. Teammate Paul George attended a game last homestand and then visited the victorious Padres clubhouse. Kawhi Leonard, who played two seasons at San Diego State, attended a game with his family earlier in the season. The Clippers moved from San Diego to Los Angeles in 1984.
UP NEXT
Cardinals: LHP José Quintana (5-6, 3.16 ERA) starts Friday night in the opener of a three-game series at the Los Angeles Dodgers. Andrew Heaney (3-2, 2.66 ERA) pitches for the NL West leaders.
Padres: LHP Sean Manaea (7-9, 5.18 ERA) is scheduled to start Friday night in the opener of a three-game series at Colorado, their last trip of the regular season. The Rockies are scheduled to start RHP Ryan Feltner (3-8, 6.05 ERA).

Analysis: As Qatar World Cup unfolds, planet keeps spinning
Published 5:40 pm Tuesday, November 29, 2022
LONDON — Soccer — or football, to most of the global billions watching the World Cup this month — is not human society itself, with all its thorny issues. But at times, the game is a reflection of the entire planet — of nations, their disputes, their aspirations and those of a multitude of minority communities.
In early November, just weeks before the most heavily scrutinized World Cup in the tournament’s history kicked off in Qatar, top FIFA officials sent a letter urging teams to “let football take center stage.”
FIFA president Gianni Infantino followed this up on the eve of the opening match with a one-hour diatribe against all who had criticized the host nation’s human rights record, the conditions that led to thousands of migrant workers dying building the nation’s glittering new stadiums and its stance on LGBTQ issues.
Fans from around the world have a different idea of what that “center stage” should show. Many, but not all, Iranians attending matches in Qatar have wanted to express their support for protesters at home. And they’ve wanted the team to do the same.
Other political issues have been erupting fast and furious on a near-daily basis. And outside the World Cup bubble, the world itself has kept turning in some of its most fractious events, both unsurprising and surprising: Russia’s war in Ukraine, mass shootings in the United States and the sudden eruption of protests in China.
Of the sporting spirit, George Orwell wrote: “I am always amazed when I hear people saying that sport creates goodwill between the nations, and that if only the common peoples of the world could meet one another at football or cricket, they would have no inclination to meet on the battlefield.”
His point stands. Russia was banned from this World Cup after hosting the previous one in 2018, mirroring the isolation the country and its leaders face for the Ukraine invasion. Ukraine itself fell at the last hurdle for qualification, with fans at home likely more concerned about bombardment and survival amid electricity and water shortages than watching matches in Qatar.
Decades of enmity between the United Sates and Iran have been seeping into the buildup before the two nations play a critical World Cup match Tuesday that could see one of the countries progress to the knockout stages. The U.S. Soccer Federation briefly displayed Iran’s national flag on social media without the emblem of the Islamic Republic, saying the move supported protesters inside Iran. The Tehran government reacted by accusing America of removing the name of God from its national flag.
The century-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including Israel’s occupation of lands Palestinians want for a future state, has also featured in Qatar, though neither national team is competing. The Palestinian flag and pro-Palestinian fans have been prominent, while Israeli media and fans have been less welcome in an Arab nation that has not normalized relations with Israel.
As Morocco completed a famous victory over the highly-ranked stars of Belgium Sunday, unrest broke out in Belgian cities and also in the Netherlands, where the immigrant North African community has long been marginalized. “Those are not fans; they are rioters. Moroccan fans are there to celebrate,” the mayor of Brussels said.
LGBTQ rights have been at the fore in Qatar as well, with the country under the microscope for its human rights record and laws criminalizing homosexuality.
Germany’s players covered their mouths for the team photo before their opening match to protest against FIFA following the governing body’s clampdown on the “One Love” armband. Sporting rainbow colors, a symbol of LGBTQ rights, has been a key contentious issue. Some European officials have brought those colors to the stands.
Qatari soccer fans responded to Germany’s protest by holding pictures of former Germany playmaker Mesut Özil while covering their mouths. This referenced Ozil, a German-born descendant of Turkish immigrants, quitting the national team after becoming a target of racist abuse and a scapegoat for Germany’s early World Cup exit in 2018. “I am German when we win, but I am an immigrant when we lose,” Özil said at the time.
Keeping the world out of sport, as this tournament and many World Cups and Olympics before have shown, is well nigh impossible. This is especially true in a hyperconnected world, with each word, each gesture, each celebration or outpouring of dismay magnified for a global audience.
Football may indeed claim center stage when these matches are watched and nations’ nervous systems go through the wringer. But day-to-day complex issues are never far from the surface, always ready to burst through and dominate. The rest of the world, it turns out, doesn’t end where the soccer pitch begins. | 2022-11-30T06:40:13+00:00 | austindailyherald.com | https://www.austindailyherald.com/2022/11/analysis-as-qatar-world-cup-unfolds-planet-keeps-spinning/ |

EAST PALESTINE, Ohio (NewsNation) — Body camera footage obtained by NewsNation shows the moments leading up to the arrest of a NewsNation reporter, including a part of an argument between a member of Ohio’s National Guard and correspondent Evan Lambert.
Lambert was arrested Wednesday in East Palestine, Ohio, after delivering a live news report during NewsNation’s “Rush Hour.” He was told by law enforcement to stop because Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine had started the news conference inside a local school gymnasium regarding a recent train derailment.
The footage shows a man appearing to be Ohio’s commander of the National Guard, Adjutant General Maj. Gen. John C. Harris Jr., arguing with the cameraman as Lambert is delivering the live report.
A state trooper walks behind the cameraman and signals for Lambert to stop talking. When Lambert stops, an argument then ensues between him and the man appearing to be Harris, who at one point shoves a finger in Lambert’s chest.
More police move in to break up the pair and attempt to kick Lambert out of the gymnasium. Lambert tells the officers he intends to stay for the ongoing news conference and says, “I am trying to listen, and he escalated with me.”
Sheriff’s deputies then attempt to forcibly remove Lambert from the gymnasium before tackling him in the foyer to arrest him.
The video, which does not have audio during some parts, comes from the body-worn camera of an officer from the Ohio State Highway Patrol
Law enforcement agencies in statements released Thursday claimed Lambert was disruptive, ignored requests to leave and resisted arrest.
Harris told law enforcement he asked Lambert to stop his live shot, Harris was “…convinced he was prepared to do harm to me,” and reacted by pushing Lambert, according to a statement to police acquired by NewsNation.
Here is the full statement:
During Governor DeWine’s press conference on February 8th, 2023, I heard very loud voices coming from the back of the gymnasium. Since most of the people in my immediate area were involved in the press conference as Public Information Officers or Subject Matters Experts, I decided I was the best person to notify the source of the disruption that the press conference had begun. Upon reaching the back of the gym, I saw a cameraman and reporter making what I assumed was a recorded message. Upon telling the reporter that the press conference had begun and that they were disrupting it, they appeared to become agitated and informed me that they were broadcasting live. After stepping out of the shot and appealing to them to be quiet down, I waited for them to finish their work. As I began to offer the assistance of my PIO team to find a more suitable location, the cameraman demanded, HEY, COME OVER HERE! Confused, I told him I would not come over there. I went back to conversing with the reporter who grew more agitated. He then became enraged. His eyes opened wide, he stared at me while very aggressively lurching at me. He screamed YOU GUYS ARE THE ONES WHO STRUNG THIS THING OUT! (I assumed he was referring to the 2-hour delay for the press conference). He is a much larger person than I am. At that point I was convinced he was prepared to do harm to me. I instinctively put my hands on his chest to keep him from bumping into me, which I felt was inevitable if I had not protected myself. I immediately removed my hands when there was space between us – we were in contact for less than a second. At that time he immediately began yelling statements such as: ASSAULT! DID YOU SEE THAT, HE ASSAULTED ME! That was witnessed by several law enforcement officers. The officers attempted to persuade him to stop being disruptive. Now convinced that I was involved in a contrived event, I removed myself from the immediate area and walked back to the press conference. As I walked away I heard his voice continue to get louder and more hostile and the commotion at the rear of the gym continued. At the point I was no longer in a position to see what was happening.
NewsNation President of News Michael Corn issued a response to Harris’ statement Thursday:
“We believe that NewsNation’s Evan Lambert was simply doing his job yesterday—reporting from Governor DeWine’s press conference and updating viewers about the latest developments in the Ohio train derailment. The many videos of this incident taken by bystanders speak for themselves. We will let people draw their own conclusions about how this incident was handled by the officers involved.”
Lambert’s attorney, Frank Cassese, called the charges of criminal trespass and resisting arrest “a futile attempt by law enforcement to justify their inexcusable interference with Mr. Lambert performing his duties as a journalist.”
“The claims made by Adjutant Major General Harris that Mr. Lambert was aggressive, and that Harris was ‘… convinced he was prepared to do harm to me’ are patently false,” Cassese said in a statement. “It is our position that the numerous videos of the incident, as recorded by bystanders, speak for themselves.”
Harris’ account of the situation ends before the arrest occurred, but a statement by East Palestine Police Chief J.C. Brown III continues on, stating authorities believed the live shot was loud and disruptive.
Sheriff Brian McLaughlin, Chief Deputy Jen Tucker and Lt. Caleb Wycoff reportedly asked Lambert to leave after the physical altercation between Lambert and Harris.
After multiple requests to leave, Tucker along with Det. Haueter (no first name given in the statement) attempted to escort Lambert out of the building when he resisted, police claim. Tucker and Haueter then took Lambert to the ground and put him in handcuffs.
Read the entire statement from Brown:
DeWine said he was “shocked” to learn a NewsNation reporter was arrested during his Wednesday news conference.
“I don’t want to see him in jail, I don’t want to see him prosecuted. But for me to say I know what happened would simply not be the truth,” DeWine said Thursday on “NewsNation Live.”
DeWine stopped short of calling for the charges to be dropped, but told NewsNation he didn’t authorize anything related to the incident and would not have if he was aware of it.
“The reporter had every right to broadcast,” DeWine told NewsNation. “No one should have said anything to the reporter about whether he was loud or not loud.”
DeWine, though, said he did not see the circumstances of the arrest. If he had, “I would have told them to stop.”
“No one ever wants to see that,” DeWine said. “No one ever wants to see a reporter who is doing their job handcuffed and arrested. I don’t like it at all.”
“I’m very sorry that he was stopped from doing his job,” DeWine added.
Video captured by those at the news conference shows officers forcibly putting Lambert in handcuffs and walking him out of the gymnasium to a squad car. He was taken to the Columbiana County Jail and was released hours later.
As Lambert was being escorted from the gym to a squad car, he said, “It’s tough to do your job in America in 2023, but we’ll keep doing it.”
After the incident on Wednesday, NewsNation Washington Bureau Chief Mike Viqueira also issued a statement saying Lambert handled the situation with “true professionalism.” Here is the full statement:
“We are relieved that Evan Lambert is safe and headed home for a much-needed respite. We never want to lose sight of the fact that Evan was in Ohio to provide up to the minute reporting about a tragic train accident that has impacted thousands of lives. Evan handled this unfortunate situation with true professionalism, and we appreciate his commitment as a journalist whose goal is to report stories that are fair and unbiased. On a positive front, I just spoke with Evan a short time ago and he was calm, cool, collected and already talking about his next assignment.”
The news conference DeWine was scheduled to speak at was originally set for 3 p.m. ET but was delayed by two hours. Lambert was scheduled to deliver his live shot at 5 p.m. when the news conference began.
NewsNation affiliate reporter Megan Lee was at the news conference and explained what she saw that led to Lambert’s arrest on “Morning in America.”
“It seems like there was some type of physical altercation toward Evan. And then, I remember hearing Evan say like, ‘this is assault,’ or something. Honestly, I was in so much shock that they were trying to not let him do his job — it was shocking to me,” Lee said.
The photographer working with Lambert, Preston Swigart, said law enforcement told Lambert to stop talking.
“From their standpoint, he didn’t obey orders when he was told to stop talking,” Swigart said. “Gymnasiums are echoey and loud and sound kind of carries, so I’m guessing that they just didn’t like the fact that there was sound competing with the governor speaking, even though it was all the way at the other end of the room.” | 2023-02-10T02:16:46+00:00 | wric.com | https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/bodycam-footage-released-from-newsnation-reporters-arrest/ |
DENVER (AP) — Victor Wembanyama’s next couple of weeks are now set: He’ll be playing in the French league finals starting this weekend, and then the San Antonio Spurs will almost certainly make him the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft on June 22.
And if that means the French star’s summer league debut comes in Sacramento instead of Las Vegas in early July, the league is fine with that.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said the league doesn’t have a preference regarding the site of Wembanyama’s first game with the Spurs. While the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas is the biggest — all 30 teams attend — and commands the most attention, there are smaller summer leagues that precede the Vegas event by a few days. Sacramento plays host to one of those events, and the Spurs are one of six teams headed there this year.
“All summer leagues are NBA Summer Leagues,” Silver told The Associated Press. “I’m very supportive of the Sacramento summer league. I remember when (Kings owner Vivek Ranadive) first came to the league and said this was something he wanted to do. I said, ‘As long as you have enough other teams who support it and players who want to play in it, it’s a good thing.’”
The Kings might be getting a lot more buzz than usual this summer. Not only are the Spurs headed there, but so is Charlotte — which holds the No. 2 pick. And it just so happens that the Spurs and Hornets will open Sacramento summer play against one another, potentially setting the stage for a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup a few days before Vegas even starts.
If Wembanyama plays in Sacramento, he’d be the first No. 1 pick that didn’t debut in Las Vegas since Markelle Fultz for Philadelphia in 2017. The 76ers played in Utah’s summer league that year before going to Vegas.
Other recent No. 1 picks have opened in Las Vegas with big-crowd, big-spectacle atmospheres. Paolo Banchero’s debut in Vegas for Orlando last summer had John Wall and DeMar DeRozan sitting courtside, as was Jerry West — three guys who didn’t need to see the scalpers who were working outside the arena for hours before the game. Zion Williamson played only nine minutes in his debut in 2019, in a game that was stopped by an earthquake, and his debut got LeBron James and Anthony Davis to grab courtside seats.
The Spurs have not said whether Wembanyama will play in the Sacramento event, which starts on July 3, and almost certainly won’t address the topic until they actually draft him in a little over two weeks. Wembanyama is expected to be with the Spurs in Las Vegas as well; the league has already announced him as one of the participants for its inaugural NBA Con — which runs there from July 7-9 and will celebrate many aspects of basketball culture.
“What’s made the summer leagues so valuable are really the media rights more than the individuals who buy tickets there, because it’s a very affordable experience,” Silver said. “So, the answer is, I want Victor to get playing court experience and I think the team — assuming it’s San Antonio — should make decisions completely independent of any commercial implications from where he debuts.”
Wembanyama’s Boulogne-Levallois team beat his former team, ASVEL, 3-1 in a French league semifinal series that ended Sunday. Monaco, the top seed in the league, awaits Wembanyama’s team in the best-of-five final that starts Saturday and could go until June 20 — two days before the draft.
“So proud of my guys,” Wembanyama tweeted Sunday after the semifinal win. “Job ain’t done tho.”
Wembanyama said in October that he’s 7-foot-3; some still say he’s 7-foot-4 or 7-foot-5, and given that he’s only 19, it’s certainly possible that he had a bit of growing left in recent months. Either way, he’s a generational talent who’ll come into the NBA with enormous hype, the likes of which probably hasn’t been seen since James went No. 1 overall to Cleveland in 2003.
“What I try to advise players — and I’m not making a prediction that he will or won’t live up to the hype — is to control what you can control, and I think what you can control is doing the work,” Silver said. “If he is in San Antonio, it’s an organization that led the way in terms of international scouting and signing of international players. Certainly, everyone would acknowledge they know how to develop players and particularly big men. And so, if I were in his shoes, or if I’m advising him, I’m saying, ‘Quickly become part of that organization and be a sponge and listen to the advice.’”

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Friday issued a rare joint statement calling on Russia to release Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who was detained last week and charged with espionage.
“We strongly condemn the wrongful detention of U.S. citizen and Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, and demand the immediate release of this internationally known and respected independent journalist,” the Senate leaders said in a statement.
“Since his arrest, Russian authorities have failed to present any credible evidence to justify their fabricated charges,” they said, adding the U.S. Embassy has been denied access to him since his March 29 arrest.
Gershkovich was arrested during a reporting trip to the Ural Mountains city of Yekaterinburg last week. He was an accredited journalist by the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The Russian Foreign Ministry claimed Gershkovich “was caught red-handed while trying to obtain classified information, using his journalistic status as a cover for illegal actions qualifying as espionage.”
The White House says he is not a spy and the Journal has reiterated that he was there on a reporting trip.
According to the Journal, lawyers were able to meet with Gershkovich on Tuesday and relayed that he is in good health. He is being held at Lefortovo prison in Moscow, which has been reported to be one of the most isolating prison experiences in the country.
Schumer and McConnell also noted that Paul Whelan, a U.S. Marine, remains imprisoned in Russia on espionage charges and should be released immediately as well.
“Russia has a long and disturbing history of unjustly detaining U.S. citizens in a judicial system that provides neither transparency nor justice. Indeed, even now, the Kremlin continues to wrongfully detain U.S. citizen Paul Whelan,” the senators said. “The Kremlin should release Mr. Whelan and Mr. Gershkovich now.”
“Let there be no mistake: journalism is not a crime,” they continued. “We demand the baseless, fabricated charges against Mr. Gershkovich be dropped and he be immediately released and reiterate our condemnation of the Russian government’s continued attempts to intimidate, repress, and punish independent journalists and civil society voices.” | 2023-04-07T16:53:55+00:00 | siouxlandproud.com | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/hill-politics/schumer-mcconnell-call-on-russia-to-release-wall-street-journal-reporter/ |
- Additional specialist retailer day on the Saturday
- Big names and innovative startups
- Experience international trends, live
NUREMBERG, Germany, May 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- After last year's successful restart, the eighth Insights-X event is beginning to shed its light on the autumn: the international stationery sector will be meeting up again from 11 to 14 October at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre. With the return of major brands and funding for innovative startups, the trade fair for 'Stationery, office, bags and more' offers top international decision-makers a successful mix of trends and innovations at the ideal ordering time in the autumn. The enjoyable and efficient networking atmosphere of Insights-X is being strengthened with the expansion of communicative evening events and the introduction of the eXtra-Day.
Additional day at the weekend
"Saturday turned out in our survey to be the most important trading day in the German-speaking DACH region, which is why we have introduced the eXtra-Day at this year's Insights-X," says Christian Ulrich, Spokesperson of the Executive Board at Spielwarenmesse eG, explaining the new schedule for the fair. During the week from Wednesday to Friday, buyers chiefly from larger chain stores across Europe are expected, drawing on the full range of exhibitors in Halls 12.0, 11,0 and 10.0, while the additional opening on the Saturday focuses on specialist retailers, with highly regarded suppliers and promotional activities in Halls 11.0 and 10.0. The multi-category arrangement across the three halls at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre is designed to ensure efficient networking and short distances. It means that the six product groups – Writing Utensils & Equipment, Paper & Filing, Artistic & Creative, Desktop & Office, Bags & Accessories and Stationery & Gift Articles – can be explored in a relaxed business atmosphere on each day of the fair.
Strong brands, creative startups
The high quality in terms of both exhibitors and visitors will continue to play an important part in the fair. The registration phase is in full swing. After taking a break, highly reputable companies and brands including Faber-Castell, duo schreib & spiel, the Iden Group and STABILO will be back. In addition, major international players in the sector such as Clairefontaine and Exacompta (France), Gataric (Bosnia), GIPTA (Türkiye), Santoro (UK) and Seven (Italy) will be taking part in Insights-X, along with German businesses Lässig, Online Schreibgeräte, Stylex and Undercover. Top countries in previous years have included Germany, China, Türkiye, Italy, Poland, Spain, India, Greece and the Netherlands. Türkiye will have a shared stand for the first time. This can be found in Hall 12.0, as can creative startup ideas from international exhibitors and young innovative German businesses. Hall 10.0 will house the InsightsArena with joining-in activities and a Food Court.
New trends in stationery
With its ideal mix of sectors, Insights-X offers buyers and retailers the opportunity to discover innovations and trends and to fine-tune their own ranges. And in all of this, one topic continues to develop and grow: sustainability. It is evident in the use of recyclable plastics, refillable products and plantable pencils and paper. In another trend, paper is proving as popular as ever – in the form of lovingly designed notebooks, origami and indeed papier-mâché, which is enjoying something of a renaissance. Meanwhile, the traditional pen producers are enriching the creative area and offering DIY and calligraphy sets. Last but not least, in the back-to-school sector, where Insights-X has a particularly strong showing, is the omnipresent theme of licensing. Alongside tried and trusted blockbusters such as Harry Potter, new films including Barbie, Arielle and Dungeons & Dragons have potential this year for inclusion in the range.
A wealth of experiences at the fair
As well as presenting innovations at the perfect time for autumn ordering, Insights-X also has a strong focus on networking. One such sociable opportunity for maintaining contacts is the popular AfterHour on the first evening of the fair, where the sector rapidly comes together. The next highlights come on Friday 13 October, when the duo schreib & spiel association holds its Autumn Conference at the exhibition centre itself. In the evening, the organisers, together with the exhibitors, invite attendees to the great get-together. Those taking part in the fair can find a complete overview of the programme on the website www.insights-x.com and on the Insights-X app. Further digital support for perfect preparation is provided by the directory of exhibitors with its filter function, the interactive hall plans, and the networking area with the facility to set up chats and appointments. At a price of €15, the ticket allows access to Insights-X for the entire duration and can also be used as a ticket for travel on public transport. The fair is open every day from Wednesday to Friday between 9 am and 6 pm (5 pm for Hall 12.0) and on Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm. Tickets go on sale on 26 July.
"We are looking forward to working with the sector to develop Insights-X further," says Christian Ulrich. "The compact and communicative format is now tailored even more closely to the needs of our exhibitors and the trade, so that everyone can take advantage of their own personal highlights in either three or four days," he concludes.

Sometimes, you just end up in the right place at the right time.
Following the conclusion of Iowa’s national championship defeat to LSU, Monika Czinano and Caitlin Clark found themselves standing outside the locker room awaiting their final postgame presser, their emotions on display like an open wound. After all, they just lost the biggest basketball game of their lives, and the final game as teammates for Czinano and Clark.
Clark’s tears streaming down her cheek, her head on her partner’s shoulder. A three-week run of all-time high after all-time high finally came crashing down. Nothing could change the fact that the final chapter of this journey had been written as Clark entombed her head deeper into Czinano’s shoulder.
Two of Iowa’s top three all-time scorers played together in unison, and took them to heights never reached before. Clark can play another pair of seasons if she uses her COVID year, but this was Czinano’s COVID year. Czinano, along with starting forward McKenna Warnock, played their final games as Hawkeyes.
The finality of a championship loss, and her two teammates’ careers, was all on Clark’s mind after the game.
“I was just trying to enjoy every single second,” Clark said. “Two people I’ve started 93 games with. It hasn’t sunk in that I’ll never get to play with them ever again, but relishing every second that we had out there.”
Clark showed her emotions in the video I captured, Kate Martin shared it with her words:
“It’s going to be weird being in the locker room without them next year,” a teary-eyed Martin said. “I’m just super proud of them, not only as basketball players but as people — those are two of the best I’ve ever been around. I couldn’t ask for any better teammates.”
Lisa Bluder’s done this dance before. She watched Megan Gustafson and countless other seniors say their Hawkeye goodbyes. But nearly 40 years into being a head coach, it doesn’t get easier.
“You coach someone for four and five years you get to know them really well,” Bluder said. “You build relationships. To think of the locker room next year without Monika and McKenna being there, it’s almost too much right now to think about.”
“I want to coach them again. I wish I could coach them tomorrow.”
The saddest part of it all, Czinano and Warnock didn’t even get to finish the game on the floor. Both Hawkeyes fouled out, playing 22 and 25 minutes respectively.
Czinano, on brand, handled it with class:
“I just love this team so much and that’s why it hurts so bad,” Czinano said. “When you have something this fun and this exciting — it hurts to have to step away from it. Regardless, today there was going to be tears, so I’m really proud of this team.”
For McKenna Warnock, it was hard to find many words to say about what she’ll miss the most:
“Just the love, honestly, ” Warnock said. “That’s the hardest part. Not being able to see them every day… (chokes up).”
But, the tears were quickly wiped away for these Hawkeyes — and the celebration begun. Their return home yesterday featured McKenna Warnock taking pictures with fans — sporting her Big Ten championship t-shirt. Clark marching off the team bus showing off the team’s regional championship in Seattle, with Czinano right behind her.
The season wasn’t defined by championship disappointment, it was highlighted as the one that transcended the sport. Just look at the TV ratings, Iowa played in the most watched Elite 8 (2.5 million viewers), Final Four (5.5), and National championship (9.9) in the sports history. That’s Caitlin Clark driven, but her light shined on her teammates, coaches and women’s college basketball.
Fans can hardly wait for next season: Iowa had to pause season ticket deposits due to overwhelming demand.
Yeah, losing hurts. Getting to a national championship is hard enough, who knows when the next time Iowa will be in that spot. But equally, that’s why it’s worth celebrating.
Here’s a long list of things Caitlin Clark did this past month:
- First 30-point triple-double in Big Ten tournament history
- Big Ten tournament MVP (again)
- First 40-point triple-double in NCAA tournament history (men or women)
- Back-to-back 41-point games
- Led Iowa past 36-0 South Carolina
- Led Iowa to its second Final Four, and first national championship appearance
- Recognized as the national player of the year (Naismith, AP, Wooden, Drysdale, Wade)
- Finished with the most points in tournament history (men or women)
Let me know if I missed anything. But I’ll leave you all with this:
Legendary bowler Pete Weber said before his retirement: “Love me or hate me, you watched.” And you watched Caitlin Clark played basketball. You cared about this wonderful group of women. You embraced Gabbie “the pretty–eyed sniper” Marshall. You called Kate Martin “the glue” every time she knocked down a clutch three. You cheered against Angel Reese like she was the Joker in a Batman movie.
And… I can prove it. Hawkeye Headquarters content on our website shattered 30-day records during this run.
Fans who never cared about basketball — let alone women’s basketball — found themselves cheering for the black and gold. Little girls — and boys — will shoot from as far as they can and pretend to be Caitlin Clark, who inspired an entire generation.
You watched Iowa take over the world for a month. And you may never see it again. So, celebrate this team. They’re unlike anything you’ve ever seen before, and you may never see again.
Roll the credits. And Iowa women’s basketball, take a bow.

The Red Lodge City Council is looking into zoning that would allow for marijuana shops in downtown Red Lodge.
It is allowed outside the city limits in Carbon County, but not inside Red Lodge. Some had concerns about it being in the historic, walkable district.
"The draw to this town is tourism," said Steve Mikels, business owner. "We're not saying you can't have them in town, we're saying they don't need to be in the historic district."
Like many Montana towns, Red Lodge is trying to figure out what to do with marijuana dispensaries, whether to allow them or keep them out.
"It may be legal, but it does not fit into a tourism western town experience," Mikels said.
A ballot measure in 2020 legalized marijuana and a Montana Legislature bill gave much of the power over implementation to city and county governments, meaning you'll find dispensaries in Carbon County, but not in the Red Lodge city limits.
"You can allow it," said Lee Stevens, a Red Lodge resident. "It's legal now but I don't recall anywhere in the wording of the law that obligates a municipality to make it to have a carve out where it's easier, or they're obligated to ensure that a marijuana dispensary is opened up."
Red Lodge's ordinance currently states marijuana shops are only legal if and when both the federal and state governments recognize marijuana as legal.
On Tuesday, the City Council will vote to remove the federal requirement, while also changing zoning to increase the distance between dispensaries and schools and daycares.
Mikels says he's not fighting recreational marijuana shops within the city limits, just in the walkable or historic section of downtown Red Lodge.
"You derive so much revenue from tourism and from foot traffic and that tourism and foot traffic that's in that main district needs to be addressed and needs to be respected," Mikels said.
Q2 contacted the mayor and all six of Red Lodge's city council members, as well as a marijuana shop owner in Carbon County. All declined interviews, hung up on us or did not return our calls asking about the proposed change.
Some like Councilmember Terri Durbin have previously written in support of dispensaries stating in an email to Mikels: "Overwhelmingly, the citizens of Red Lodge have approved marijuana for recreational use. Why wouldn't we allow dispensaries in our town and collect the revenue?"
But Lee Stevens, who's running for City Council, disagrees, and he and many others believe allowing dispensaries is a slippery slope.
"It will completely change the whole makeup of this city," Stevens said. | 2022-05-07T13:50:39+00:00 | ktvh.com | https://www.ktvh.com/news/local-news/city-council-considers-allowing-marijuana-shops-in-red-lodge |
