Grand jury reportedly probing Trump leadership PAC
WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal grand jury is reportedly seeking information about Donald Trump’s Save America leadership PAC as investigations into the former president continue to expand.
ABC News first reported Thursday that subpoenas issued in recent weeks have asked recipients about the political action committee’s formation, its fundraising activities and its spending.
The Department of Justice and a Trump spokesman did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Trump is now the subject of numerous ongoing federal and state investigations, including several probing his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol building, his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, and how thousands of government records, including documents with highly classified markings, ended up at his private Mar-a-Lago club.
Trump aggressively fundraised off the 2020 election, capitalizing on his supporters’ anger about and refusal to accept his loss. During its hearings, the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack said Trump’s fundraising machine had collected some $250 million from his campaigns to “Stop the Steal” and others in the aftermath of the election, mostly in small-dollar donations from Americans. One plea for cash went out 30 minutes before the Jan. 6 insurrection.
“Not only was there the big lie, there was the big ripoff,” Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., said of the efforts.
No credible evidence has emerged to support Trump’s claims that the election was marred by mass fraud. Numerous state and local elections officials, including Trump’s own attorney general and judges he appointed, have also rejected such claims.
Trump’s PAC — which he has used to pay for his post-presidential rallies, other travel, legal bills and even the portraits of him and the former first lady that will one day hang in the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery — has raised millions since its creation. It ended July with just under $100 million cash-on-hand, according to government filings.

PUNTA GORDA, Fla. (AP) — A person in southwest Florida has died after being infected with an extremely rare brain-eating amoeba, health officials said.
The Florida Department of Health in Charlotte County confirmed the death Thursday. The agency had previously issued an alert last month, warning residents about the Naegleria fowleri infection.
“I can confirm the infection unfortunately resulted in a death, and any additional information on this case is confidential to protect patient privacy,” Florida Department of Health spokesman Jae Williams said in an email.
Health officials said last month that the infection might have been caused by sinus rinse practices using tap water, but an investigation is ongoing. Sinus solutions should be made using only distilled or sterile water. Tap water should be boiled for at least one minute and cooled before sinus rinsing.
“Infection with Naegleria fowleri is rare and can only happen when water contaminated with amoebae enters the body through the nose,” Williams said. “You cannot be infected by drinking tap water.”
Naegleria fowleri is a single-celled organism that lives in soil and warm fresh water, such as lakes, rivers and hot springs, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It can cause a brain infection when water containing the amoeba goes up the nose. Only about three people in the United States get infected each year, but these infections are usually fatal. | 2023-03-04T16:28:41+00:00 | kron4.com | https://www.kron4.com/health/ap-health/officials-person-dies-after-brain-eating-amoeba-infection/ |
CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Elias Lindholm scored and Jacob Markstrom recorded his second career playoff shutout as the Calgary Flames beat the Dallas Stars 1-0 Tuesday night in the opening game of their first-round playoff series.
Lindholm scored a power-play goal early in the first period. Markstrom stopped all 16 shots he faced as Calgary earned just its second playoff win at the Saddledome since 2015.
Dallas goal Jake Oettinger stopped 25 of 26 shots and lost his NHL playoff debut.
Game 2 in the best-of-seven series is Thursday in Calgary. The series shifts to Dallas for Saturday’s Game 3 and Monday’s Game 4.
Calgary (50-21-11) topped the Pacific Division, while the Stars (46-30-6) entered the playoffs as the first wild-card team in the Western Conference.
Calgary led 1-0 after a dominant opening period. The Flames held the Stars to three shots. Dallas’ first shot on goal came at 11:05.
Both teams had to deal with the loss of a key defenseman at the end of the first period. Calgary’s Rasmus Andersson and Dallas’s John Klingberg were given game misconducts for fighting at the buzzer.
That tussle came after Matthew Tkachuk and Michael Raffl also threw punches at the close of the period. Tkachuk shoved Klingberg hard into the boards behind Calgary’s net in the last few seconds.
Without Klingberg, their power-play quarterback, the Stars went 0 for 5 with a man advantage.
The clubs traded chances in the third. Dallas mustered more sustained pressure in Calgary’s zone in the second period, but still trailed after 40 minutes.
A Blake Coleman goal for Calgary midway through the second period was waived off because of his interference penalty.
Stars defenseman Jani Hakanpaa was penalized for an illegal check to Coleman’s head in the first period, and the Flames made the Dallas pay by scoring off the ensuring faceoff.
Lindholm won the draw and took a Tkachuk feed from the boards. Lindholm fired a wrist shot that beat Oettinger under his glove at 5:01 of the period.
Coleman, who signed with Calgary last year after winning back-to-back Stanley Cups with the Tampa Bay Lightning, went to the bench in distress after the Hakanpaa hit, finished the period.
NOTES: The Stars ousted the Flames in six games in the first round of the 2020 playoff bubble in Edmonton. … It’s the fourth best-of-seven series in the past 21 years to feature four 40-goal scorers: Flames forwards Lindholm, Tkachuk and Johnny Gaudreau and Dallas forward Jason Robertson.

UN inspectors head to Ukraine nuclear plant despite fighting
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The company that oversees Ukraine’s nuclear power plants said shelling by Russian forces triggered a shutdown at one of the reactors at the Zaporizhzhia plant, underscoring the risks faced by a team of U.N. inspectors that was heading there Thursday to assess its safety.
A team from the International Atomic Energy Agency, led by its director Rafael Grossi, set off for the Russia-held nuclear power plant — Europe’s largest — despite the heavy shelling for which Ukraine and Russia trade blame.
Ukraine’s Enerhoatom said Russian mortar shelling led to the shutdown of one of its reactors by its emergency protection system. Shelling also damaged a backup power supply line used for in-house needs, and one of the plant’s reactors that wasn’t operating was switched to diesel generators, the company said.
“There has been increased military activity, including this morning until very recently,” Grossi said, adding that after being briefed by the Ukrainian military he decided to get moving despite the inherent risks. “But weighing the pros and cons and having come so far, we are not stopping.”
He noted that the risks are “very, very high” in the so-called grey zone between Ukrainian and Russian positions, but “we consider that we have the minimum conditions to move.”
A spokesman for the IAEA later said that the mission has been delayed on the Ukrainian-controlled side of the frontline for some three hours, adding that Grossi “has personally negotiated with Ukrainian military authorities to be able to proceed and he remains determined that this important mission reaches the ZNPP today.”
The Zaporizhzhia plant has been occupied by Russian forces but run by Ukrainian engineers since the early days of the 6-month-old war. Ukraine alleges Russia is using the plant as a shield, storing weapons there and launching attacks from around it, while Moscow accuses Ukraine of recklessly firing on the area.
Fighting in early March caused a brief fire at its training complex, and in recent days, the plant was temporarily knocked offline because of damage, heightening fears of a radiation leak or a reactor meltdown. Officials have begun distributing anti-radiation iodine tablets to nearby residents.
“We have a very important mission to accomplish,” Grossi said, adding that “we are going to start immediately an assessment of the security and the safety situation at the plant.”
“I am going to consider the possibility of establishing a continued presence of the IAEA at the plant, which we believe is indispensable to stabilize the situation and to get regular, reliable, impartial, neutral updates of what the situation is there,” he said.
The Russian Defense Ministry said Ukrainian forces unleashed an artillery barrage of the area and then sent a group of up to 60 scouts to try to seize control of the nuclear plant.
It said the Ukrainian troops arrived in seven speedboats, landing three kilometers northeast of the plant on the left bank of the Dnieper River and tried to seize it. The ministry said Russian forces “took steps to destroy the enemy,” engaging warplanes. Russia’s military said its forces also destroyed two barges carrying Ukrainian troops who attempted to land near the plant.
“The provocation by the Kyiv regime is intended to derail the arrival of the IAEA’s group at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant,” a ministry statement said.
Alexander Volga, head of the Russia-installed Enerhodar city administration, also said the Ukrainian troops that attempted to land were “blocked and destroyed.” The administration also said at least three local residents were killed and one injured early Thursday from Ukrainian shelling.
He said the fighting had since abated and no “objective obstacles” remained to prevent the visit by the IAEA team, which had crossed a checkpoint in Russia-controlled territory and was expected to soon arrive in Enerhodar.
Ukrainian authorities, meanwhile, accused Russia of shelling Enerhodar and the territory of the nuclear power plant in a false flag attack intended to derail the arrival of the IAEA’s team.
“We are demanding that Russia stop provocations and offer the IAEA unhindered access to the Ukrainian nuclear facility,” said Zaporizhzhia Gov. Oleksandr Starukh.
Neither side’s version of events could immediately be independently verified.
The fighting came as war-torn Ukraine endeavored Thursday to start the new academic year in the best way possible, with civilian areas still under threat of artillery fire and other weaponry — and children still among the victims. Just over half of schools in Ukraine were reopening to in-person education despite the risks.
In other developments:
- A U.S. intelligence assessment said Russia was facing severe manpower shortages as President Vladimir Putin’s 6-month campaign in Ukraine rages on.
- North Korea said it was considering sending construction workers to help rebuild parts of Russian-occupied eastern Ukraine that have been battered by the fighting.
- The emergencies agency under the Russia-backed separatist government in the eastern region of Donetsk said 13 emergency responders were killed and nine others were wounded Thursday by Ukrainian shelling in Rubtsi, a village to the east of the city of Izyum in neighboring Kharkiv province. Much of the fighting in recent weeks and months has centered on the area.

BERLIN (AP) — A former hotel in eastern Germany that was supposed to be used as accommodation for refugee families starting next week was targeted Friday in what authorities believe was an anti-foreigner arson attack.
Police said windows were broken and a fire broke out shortly after 5 a.m. at the building on the outskirts of Bautzen, east of the city of Dresden. Four employees of the owner who were staying in the building were unharmed. The fire was extinguished.
An initial group of 30 refugees, from countries including Syria, Afghanistan and Russia, was due to move into the building next Thursday. It wasn’t immediately clear what would happen to that plan.
The former hotel already was used as accommodation for refugees between 2015 and 2017, and was the target of an attempted arson attack in 2016 when three young men threw Molotov cocktails over a fence toward the building, the German news agency dpa reported.
The interior minister of Saxony state, Armin Schuster, said it’s not yet clear who threw incendiary devices into the hotel on Friday but authorities believe it was a xenophobic arson attack.
“Setting fire to buildings out of hatred because you don’t want to have refugees near you is deeply primitive and inhuman,” Schuster said. Saxony’s governor, Michael Kretschmer, tweeted that finding out who was responsible “has the highest priority.”
Last week, a fire destroyed a shelter for Ukrainian refugees on Germany’s Baltic coast in what authorities say could have been arson.

(The Hill) — A Senate bill that takes aims at credit card “swipe fees” won’t make it into annual defense policy legislation, but sponsors of the Credit Card Competition Act struck a deal with leadership to have it come to the floor for a vote by the end of the year, a source close to the talks told The Hill.
“We were given assurances that the Credit Card Competition Act will be given a vote this Congress,” Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), who reintroduced the bill last month with Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), confirmed in a statement.
The bill would require financial institutions with assets of more than $100 billion to enable at least two network options for processing credit card transactions.
At least one of those networks must be an option other than Visa or Mastercard, which control a combined 80 percent of the credit card network market in the U.S.
The National Retail Federation (NRF), one of the major players championing the bill, says swipe fees are the highest operating cost after labor for most retailers.
The current average fee for credit card transactions is around 2 percent, and the retail trade association estimates credit card swipe fees cost retailers more than $160 billion each year.
What are bill sponsors wanting in a swipe fee law?
The bill does not cap fees. Rather, the bill’s sponsors say more competition and choice will reduce credit card swipe fees.
“We will inject competition into the credit card market, without price controls, and help our MainStreet businesses and consumers. The days of globalists on Wall Street taking advantage of American families will soon be over,” Marshall said.
The chamber is slated to vote on the National Defense Authorization Act before the August recess, and there had been talk of tagging the swipe fee bill onto the must-pass legislation. But when Durbin announced Sunday he tested positive for COVID for the third time this year, that plan became increasingly less likely.
With Durbin quarantined away from Capitol Hill, Marshall continued to push for the amendment. In a statement, the Electronic Payments Coalition accused Marshall of holding up the national defense spending authorization bill to “gift a massive government handout to Walmart, Target, and other big-box retailers.”
Visa and Mastercard are members of the coalition, which vehemently opposes the bill, along with other banking giants — including Capital One, Wells Fargo and the American Bankers Association.
“This is going to enrich the bottom lines of the big box retailers at the expense of individual consumers and at the expense of the nearly 10,000 community financial institutions, the community banks and credit unions that helped make up the payments ecosystem,” said Aaron Stetter, executive director of the Electronic Payments Coalition, in a phone interview.
When might a swipe fee bill come to a vote?
Banks say swipe fees are essential to fund the “points” programs that have become a staple for credit card users. But when consumers might actually see a change is still up in the air.
“I think it’s more clear that there will be a vote and people will have to vote on it. The only question is: when?” said Doug Kantor, general counsel at the National Association of Convenience Stores, in a phone interview.
Kantor is also an executive committee member of the Merchant Payments Coalition of convenience stores, supermarkets and other businesses that support the bill.
Some research has indicated the hit-to-points programs may be minor.
An analysis by the advisory firm CMSPI, which aims to “boost the productivity of the retail payments ecosystem,” found that if the bill passes, credit card rewards would reduce by less than one-tenth of 1 percent “at most.”
The Electronic Payments Coalition decried that analysis as “misleading,” pointing to a Federal Reserve study on credit card profitability that found net transaction margins have shrunk as reward expenses increased. The coalition says this demonstrates there is no “wiggle room” for issuers.
“If that revenue is eliminated, they are not going to continue these programs,” Stetter said.
Callum Godwin, chief economist at CMSPI, told The Hill their estimate carved out third-party card networks like American Express and Discover, who are exempted from the Credit Card Competition Act requirements.
He also noted the bill would impact only the 23 U.S. card issuers with assets higher than $100 billion, based on large commercial bank asset data released by the Federal Reserve in March.
Banks are competing for customers as credit markets tighten
Stephanie Martz, chief administrative officer and general counsel at the NRF, pointed out that banks would still be competing with one another for customers.
“They’re going to need to keep their rewards programs or figure out what enticements they’re going to use so that people use their credit cards,” Martz said in a phone interview.
This isn’t the first time Congress has moved to rein in card processing fees.
The so-called Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act in 2010 directed the Federal Reserve to cap swipe fees for debit cards issued by the largest banks at 21 cents per transaction plus 0.5 percent of the total transaction amount.
Durbin and Marshall introduced the Credit Card Competition Act last year, but their attempt to attach it to the Senate’s version of the NDAA was unsuccessful.
Sens. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) and JD Vance (R-Ohio) signed on as co-sponsors for the swipe fee bill this time around, and the source close to talks believes they will have the votes when the bill is called to the Senate floor.
“Prices for gas and groceries are skyrocketing especially in rural America. We need to do all we can to drive down costs, and our legislation will do just that. We are looking forward to getting this bipartisan bill passed together in the near future,” Marshall said. | 2023-07-27T13:27:04+00:00 | wivb.com | https://www.wivb.com/news/national/love-your-credit-card-points-a-bill-that-may-change-them-is-still-on-the-table/ |

(WXIN) — After two years of Thanksgiving closures, Kohl’s stores will once again close on Thanksgiving this year.
The retailer said customers looking forward to shopping on the holiday can do so on its website or app. Thanksgiving falls on Nov. 24 this year.
The retailer also closed its stores on Thanksgiving in 2020 and 2021. The 2020 closure was related to safety concerns spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the years before that, Kohl’s and other stores opened on Thanksgiving, giving customers the chance to cash in on early holiday deals and savings as “Black Friday” sales inched earlier and earlier until stores were opening on the holiday itself.
Kohl’s has not yet announced store hours for Black Friday week, though the retail chain has already kicked off some special holiday deals.
In recent years, more and more stores have decided to close on Thanksgiving so employees can spend the holiday with their families. Target’s CEO said last year that the chain would no longer open on Thanksgiving. | 2022-10-12T16:30:24+00:00 | wdtn.com | https://www.wdtn.com/nexstar-media-wire/will-kohls-be-closed-for-thanksgiving-2022/ |

Gophers volleyball coach Hugh McCutcheon stepping down after 2022 season
MINNEAPOLIS - For the first time in 12 years, the University of Minnesota volleyball team will have a new head coach next season.
Hugh McCutcheon announced Sunday that the 2022 season will be his last with the Gophers. Minnesota is currently 10-6 this season, including a 5-3 mark in Big Ten play. In 10-plus seasons with the Gophers, McCutcheon has a 265-71 record and has led Minnesota to three NCAA Final Four appearances. He led the Gophers to a Big Ten title in 2018.
"Hugh is a respected leader in volleyball, the coaching profession and in our department," Gophers Athletic Director Mark Coyle said in a statement. "We understand and support his decision to step away at the end of the season and we thank him for his tremendous contributions to our program, University and state.
"I know Hugh appreciates the support from our amazing fans and understands the questions that people might have, but his sole focus right now is on the team and the rest of the season. Out of respect for our program and our student-athletes, he will defer any questions about this decision until the end of the season."
McCutcheon had agreed to an extension in late December 2021 that had him under contract at Minnesota through the 2025 season. Gophers officials said in a news release they will conduct a nation-wide search for the next head coach after the season. During that time, Associate Head Coach Matt Houk will serve as the interim head coach.
The Gophers are back on the court on Wednesday, at Iowa and play their next home game on Saturday, Oct. 22 against Purdue. | 2022-10-17T00:28:35+00:00 | fox9.com | https://www.fox9.com/sports/gophers-coach-hugh-mccutcheon-stepping-down-after-2022-season |

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine’s state electricity operator on Saturday announced blackouts in Kyiv and seven other regions of the country in the aftermath of Russia’s devastating strikes on energy infrastructure.
The move comes as Russian forces continue to pound Ukrainian cities and villages with missiles and drones, inflicting damage on power plants, water supplies and other civilian targets, in a grinding war that is nearing its nine-month mark.
Russia has denied that the drones it has used in Ukraine came from Iran, but the Islamic Republic’s foreign minister on Saturday for the first time acknowledged supplying Moscow with “a limited number” of drones before the invasion. Hossein Amirabdollahian claimed, however, that Tehran didn’t know if its drones were used against Ukraine and stated Iran’s commitment to stopping the conflict.
Ukrenergo, the sole operator of Ukraine’s high-voltage transmission lines, initially said in a an online statement Saturday that scheduled blackouts will take place in the capital and the greater Kyiv region, as well as several regions around it — Chernihiv, Cherkasy, Zhytomyr, Sumy, Poltava and Kharkiv.
Later in the day, however, the company released an update saying that scheduled outages for a specific number of hours aren’t enough and instead there will be emergency outages, which could last an indefinite amount of time.
Ukraine has been grappling with power outages and disruption of water supplies since Russia started unleashing massive barrages of missile and drone strikes on the country’s energy infrastructure last month.
Moscow has said those came in response to what it alleged were Ukrainian attacks on Crimea, the region that Russia illegally annexed in 2014. Ukraine has denied those allegations.
Meanwhile, Russian shelling of Ukrainian regions continued into the early hours of Saturday.
About 40 shells were fired overnight at the city of Nikopol, Dnipropetrovsk Gov. Valentyn Reznichenko said on Telegram. The Russian forces targeted the city and the areas around it from heavy artillery. Two fires broke out, and more than a dozen of residential and utility buildings, as well as a gas pipeline, were damaged, the official said.
Elsewhere in the region, the Ukrainian forces shot down a drone and another projectile, according to Reznichenko.
In the southern Mykolaiv region, the overnight shelling of rural areas damaged several houses, but didn’t cause any casualties, Mykolaiv Gov. Vitali Kim said on Telegram.
The Russian forces also fired missiles at the southeastern Zaporizhzhia region, which has been illegally annexed by Moscow and large parts of which remain occupied. According to regional Gov. Oleksandr Starukh, the attack took place shortly after midnight and damaged buildings of three businesses, as well as a number of cars.
In the eastern Donetsk region, also annexed and partially occupied by Russia, eight cities and villages have been shelled, including Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Porkovsk.
Russian-installed authorities in Donetsk reported an attempt on the life of a Moscow-appointed judge of the region’s Supreme Court. Alexander Nikulin, who was on a judicial panel that in June sentenced to death two Britons and a Moroccan fighting on the Ukrainian side, has been hospitalized with gunshot wounds and is in grave condition, Kremlin-backed officials said.
According to Ukraine’s presidential office, at least three civilians were killed and eight others were wounded over the past 24 hours by Russian shelling of nine Ukrainian regions, where drones, missiles and heavy artillery were used.
In the Russian-occupied Kherson region, where a Ukrainian counteroffensive is underway, the Russian military continue to abduct local residents, the presidential office said, with the most recent cases taking place over the past 24 hours.

Magic Johnson shouts out former Gamecock on Twitter following WNBA Draft
COLUMBIA, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - Legendary basketball player Magic Johnson had high praise for one former Gamecock following Monday’s WNBA Draft.
Zia Cooke was selected 10th overall by the Los Angeles Sparks on Monday night. Shortly after the draft, Magic Johnson went to Twitter to welcome her to Los Angeles.
I’m excited that we are bringing a winner, dynamic guard that plays both ends of the court, and a player with a high basketball IQ to the @LASparks, South Carolina’s Zia Cooke! Welcome to LA @zia_cooke!
— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) April 11, 2023
According to Johnson’s website, he led the group that purchased the Sparks in 2014 and is still part of the organization.
Cooke responded to the praise Tuesday night, saying she is ready to get started.
Wow 🙏🏽 let’s get to work !!!
— Zia Cooke (@zia_cooke) April 12, 2023
Cooke was a four-year starter for South Carolina Women’s Basketball and was a big part of the team that won the NCAA Championship in 2022. During her time with the Gamecocks, she was named All-SEC three times and was Third-team All-American in 2023.

APA Calls for Funding to Community-Based Services to Decriminalize Mental Illness
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Only one in five (20%) Americans believe that those in jails and prisons are getting the mental health care they need, according to a new American Psychiatric Association (APA) poll. Seventy-five percent, however, say mental health support should be provided for incarcerated people in the United States.
Americans are aware of the number of people with mental illness incarcerated per year (their answers were slightly high, on average 49.8%, while estimates are around 44%). The APA believes that community-based services and supports for individuals with serious mental illness should be sufficiently funded to provide alternatives to the criminal justice system (see a 2020 position statement).
The poll answers are from the latest Healthy Minds Monthly poll commissioned by APA and conducted by Morning Consult of 2,111 adults between Sep. 30 and Oct. 2, 2022.
"It's important that Americans are recognizing the longstanding reality that our jails and prisons have become the largest mental health provider in the country, and that people in the criminal justice system need treatment and support," said APA President Rebecca W. Brendel, M.D., J.D. "Public awareness and attention can help motivate resources and change."
Half (48%) of Americans say they do not believe police and law enforcement officers in their community are properly trained to deal with people in mental health crisis, with more Black adults (60%), Hispanic adults (56%) and those ages 18-25 (54%) concurring. Fifty-three percent of all polled thought that the new 988 mental health crisis number will be effective to keep people in crisis out of jail, with Black (64%) and Hispanic (54%) adults more optimistic. Among Gen Z, those born between 1997 and 2012, 61% expressed that 988 would be a helpful tool for keeping those in crisis out of the criminal justice system.
When asked what additional services should be available to people who are incarcerated, after mental health support, those most often selected among adults were job training (67%), soft skills training (64%), educational opportunities (60%), reintegration and reentry assistance (56%), telehealth (40%), wellness programs (39%), and financial management classes (35%). Support for these various services varied across demographics with younger adults (ages 18-25) more likely to support wellness programs (49%), and older adults (65+) more supportive of job training (72%).
"The number of people in jail and prisons with mental health and substance use disorders is a major societal problem and Americans are saying we should fix it," said APA CEO and Medical Director Saul Levin M.D., M.P.A. "Lawmakers should heed this information and take action."
When asked about their levels of anxiety on current events, the results were consistent with prior Healthy Minds polls, with adults most anxious about inflation (84%) and a recession (75%).

Teens Charged as Adults in 15-Year-Old Cheyenne Girl’s Death
Two Cheyenne teens have been charged as adults in connection with last month's shooting at Lincoln Park which left a 15-year-old Cheyenne girl dead.
Johnny Munoz, 17, and Julian Espinoza, 16, were arrested yesterday, May 9, and made their initial appearances in Laramie County Circuit Court this morning.
Munoz is charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, and Espinoza is charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and accessory before the fact to first-degree murder.
Police spokeswoman Alex Farkas says officers were called to the park located at 315 E. 8th Street around 12:23 a.m. on Sunday, April 30, after Munoz, who was riding in the front seat of an SUV being driven by Espinoza, shot the girl in the head.
Farkas says a group of the girl's friends and family members were playing basketball at the time, and a 17-year-old boy on the court returned fire with a handgun, but the SUV was not hit and Espinoza drove off.
The girl was taken to Cheyenne Regional Medical Center where she died the following day.
"There were no other injuries," Farkas told KGAB Radio on Wednesday. "But a residence and two trucks in the area sustained damage from the gunfire."
Police have not released any details about a motive, and because the victim was a juvenile, Farkas says they are not planning to release her name.
When asked if she anticipated any more arrests, Farkas said, "Detectives are still working on the case."
Munoz and Espinoza are currently being held in the Laramie County Juvenile Services Center on $250,000 cash bonds.
Their preliminary hearings are scheduled for next Thursday, May 18, at 1:30 p.m.

Biden officially vetoes resolution blocking temporary suspension of tariffs on solar panel imports
By Donald Judd
(CNN) — President Joe Biden has officially vetoed a resolution that would halt a Commerce Department rule temporarily suspending tariffs on solar panels imported from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam – writing that passage “of this resolution bets against American innovation.”
The resolution narrowly cleared the Senate earlier this month, with nine Democrats joining Republicans to supports its passage.
Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky voted against its passage.
“It would undermine these efforts and create deep uncertainty for American businesses and workers in the solar industry,” Biden wrote in his veto announcement Tuesday, adding that while “America is now on track to increase domestic solar panel manufacturing capacity eight-fold by the end of my first term … that production will not come online overnight.”
Biden issued the first veto of his presidency in March on a resolution to overturn a retirement investment rule that allows managers of retirement funds to consider the impact of climate change and other environmental, social and governance factors when picking investments.
In April, Biden vetoed a resolution that would have rescinded his administration’s hallmark water rule.

Industries that have seen the biggest online sales growth

Industries that have seen the biggest online sales growth
Hand holding credit card and using laptop
Close your eyes and picture the internet of 2005 in your mind’s eye. It’s far smaller, there’s barely any Facebook, plus Twitter and Instagram don’t exist yet. But were you shopping online? That’s the key question.
Yes, sites like Amazon were enormous even in 2005, but the retail climate online was very different than today. Indeed, many of the industries on this list had the online portion far below 1% of their total sales in 2005.
Giving Assistant analyzed data from the Annual Retail Trade Survey by the U.S. Census Bureau (released in January 2022) to rank the industries that have had the biggest online sales growth over 15 years between 2005 and 2020. This survey studies retail sales across virtually every industry, broken down into broader categories. The U.S. Census Bureau gathers information for dozens of surveys, even during years that do not cap decades.
Gyms, hair and nail salons plus other personal care businesses, gas stations, and motor vehicle and auto parts dealers were excluded from the analysis, as complete Census data was not available for these types of businesses in recent years. But the industries that do report these sales in the survey paint a picture of a rapidly changing world when it comes to online sales, with $815 billion in online sales during 2020. That represents a nearly 800% increase over the Census-measured data for 2005.

#8. Electronics and appliance

– Estimated increase in online sales from 2005 to 2020: 105%
– Estimated online sales (2020): $2.3 billion
– Online sales as a share of total industry spending (2020): 3%
Electronics and appliances, as a category, includes everything from household microwave ovens to cutting-edge gaming computers. This industry has experienced surprisingly little online sales growth during the key years between 2005 and 2020, with just 105%, so about doubling over 15 years. At the same time, it’s not surprising to imagine that people still want to look at and touch appliances in person before they buy. And even while more than doubling since 2005, online sales are still a tiny 3% of the total consumer appliance sales.

#7. Building material, garden equipment, and supplies dealers

– Estimated increase in online sales from 2005 to 2020: 324%
– Estimated online sales (2020): $2.2 billion
– Online sales as a share of total industry spending (2020): 0.5%
This category also includes paint and hardware stores. The industry grew more than 300% between 2005 and 2020, but the final market share is still a tiny 0.5%. This indicates that virtually no one in these industries is buying online, although that could have changed during the pandemic, when do-it-yourself home improvement projects took off. And it makes sense, because many of those buying building supplies are doing so in real time for ongoing projects; they don’t want to wait or pay to ship heavy goods.

#6. Miscellaneous store retailers

– Estimated increase in online sales from 2005 to 2020: 489%
– Estimated online sales (2020): $6.3 billion
– Online sales as a share of total industry spending (2020): 5%
“Miscellaneous” as a category includes a wide mix of things: florists, office supply stores, souvenir shops, and thrift or consignment stores. Their growth of online sales is nearly 500%, which is impressive, bringing the total industry share up to 5%. Thrift stores are underrepresented online, except for specialty retailers like designer clothing resellers or Goodwill’s electronics outlet. But florists online go way back to at least 1995—the year that 1-800-FLOWERS bought their website domain.

#5. Sporting goods, hobby, musical instrument, and book stores

– Estimated online sales (2020): $5.4 billion
– Online sales as a share of total industry spending (2020): 6%
It’s hard to remember now, but Amazon began selling books way back in the 1990s. In 2005, they sold $8 billion worth of books and other goods. It’s still impressive that the odd industry grouping of sports, hobbies, musical instruments, and books jumped over 600% between 2005 and 2020. Even in the high-speed information age, people still need soccer cleats and want Chuck Norris bobbleheads.

#4. Nonstore retailers (including electronic shopping and mail-order houses)

– Estimated increase in online sales from 2005 to 2020: 917%
– Estimated online sales (2020): $705.7 billion
– Online sales as a share of total industry spending (2020): 72%
“Nonstore retailers” is a very literal category, including brands like QVC, which has three retail locations—two in Pennsylvania and one in Florida. This category also includes mail-order brands like Publishers Clearing House and fuel dealers, which are essentially direct sellers of hydrocarbons like propane. Soda and candy vending machines are also included in this category.
It may sound strange that “nonstores” have increased their online sales by over 900%, but these very real businesses have likely had one of the easiest transitions to online sales during the pandemic, as they were already accustomed to dealing remotely and processing transactions from afar. These businesses total online sales reached 72% of the industry by 2020, showing how quickly online ordering has supplanted traditional mail and phone orders.

#3. Furniture and home furnishings stores

– Estimated increase in online sales from 2005 to 2020: 923%
– Estimated online sales (2020): $3.6 billion
– Online sales as a share of total industry spending (2020): 3%
Furniture and home furnishings stores have one of the lowest online sales market shares on the list with just 3%—and that’s including an increase of more than 900% between 2005 and 2020. From that perspective, even that 3% is hard won from customers who strongly prefer to shop in person.
It’s likely this number will still continue to grow, especially as virtual reality and augmented reality allow more customers to browse remotely and “try out” furniture, visualizing how it can fit in their living rooms. This category also includes stores dedicated to tile, carpeting, and other forms of flooring.

#2. Clothing and clothing accessory stores

– Estimated increase in online sales from 2005 to 2020: 1,193%
– Estimated online sales (2020): $16 billion
– Online sales as a share of total industry spending (2020): 8%
Yes, it’s no surprise to see clothing stores near the top of this list with nearly 1,200% growth from 2005 to 2020. But the low total share, still just 8%, highlights that the vast majority of people still visit brick-and-mortar stores to buy clothes, shoes, accessories, and jewelry.
Augmented reality may help the online share continue to grow, letting customers try clothes and jewelry virtually from their homes. Online sales will continue to rely on markets that are more niche or specialized than mainstream clothing stores typically serve, such as big and tall and pregnancy or nursing clothes.

#1. Food and beverage stores

– Estimated increase in online sales from 2005 to 2020: 4,823%
– Estimated online sales (2020): $23.3 billion
– Online sales as a share of total industry spending (2020): 3%
As a category, food and beverage stores include grocery stores as well as specialty businesses like butchers, bakeries, and liquor stores. Yes, these sales grew by an astonishing near 5,000% (or 50 times), but the resulting number is still a tiny 3% of overall sales. Grocery stores made a dramatic pivot during the pandemic to begin allowing more online and app orders as well as curbside customer pickup. The average grocery store makes just 2.2% profit, meaning this swift pivot likely saved many stores from bankruptcy during the pandemic.

SIMMESPORT, La. (KTVE/KARD) — According to Louisiana State Police Troop E, Saturday, July 9, 2022, around 11:00 p.m., troopers investigated a two-vehicle fatal crash.
The crash happened on LA Highway 105, just south of Begnaud Road and claimed the life of 62-year-old Blaine Lemoine. The initial investigation revealed Lemoine drove a Husqvarna lawn mower and was traveling north on LA Highway 105. At the same time, 24-year-old Hunter Moreau of Melville drove a 2012 Ford Fusion and was traveling behind the Husqvarna.
Moreau struck the lawn mower in the rear, which resulted in Lemoine being ejected.
Lemoine suffered fatal injuries and the Avoyelles Parish Coroner pronounced him deceased on the scene. Moreau, who was unrestrained, was not injured in the crash.
After a thorough investigation, troopers arrested and charged Moreau with vehicular homicide, DWI 1st offense and no seat belt. Toxicology samples were obtained and submitted for analysis. The crash remains under investigation.
Troopers would like to remind all motorists to make good decisions, such as buckling your seat belt, obeying all posted speed limits and avoiding all distractions while driving. In addition, motorists must also be reminded that alcohol and other drugs have many effects on the body. Alcohol and other drugs can impair visual ability, alter the sense of time and space, impair fine motor skills needed to operate a motor vehicle and decrease reaction times.
In 2022, Troop E has investigated 19 fatal crashes, resulting in 20 deaths. | 2022-07-11T18:24:45+00:00 | cenlanow.com | https://www.cenlanow.com/state-news/louisiana-state-police-simmesport-man-dies-in-avoyelles-parish-crash-impairment-suspected/ |

Patricia Cole, a veteran copy editor whose sharp eye, quick wit and kind heart made her a cherished colleague at NPR and other news outlets, died on Friday at age 46, setting off a cascade of mourning and remembrance.
"Patricia loved editing, and she really loved politics," said Dana Farrington, deputy editor at the Washington Desk. "She saved me by catching mistakes no one else would, more than I can count. I'm grateful for her collaboration, her enthusiasm and her commitment to journalism, even when it was very hard."
Similar notes — from correspondents, editors and hosts — came from all corners of NPR. Patricia saved us, they said, over and over: from our own mistakes, from confusing our audience and from the chaos of hectic news cycles.
The messages came after Patricia's brother shared the news of her death.
"There is no easy way to share news like this," Michael Cole wrote on his sister's Facebook page. "Unfortunately, Patricia lost her long battle with depression and passed away on Friday night at Holy Cross Hospital in Maryland. We all hope and pray she is at peace."
She embraced spontaneity and diligence
Patricia had a knack for writing strong headlines, which won her first place in a 2012 national contest. She then became a judge for headline competitions run by ACES: The Society for Editing.
She also sought out moments of delight — a vital habit that has helped many journalists cope with stress and fatigue.
"Among my favorite newsroom moments with Patricia would be the Saturdays when I'd stop by her desk to offer her fave — some Earl Grey tea and some of my Bajan tea biscuits," said her close friend Maquita Peters, an NPR senior editor. "Her face would light up as she sprung to her feet and hugged me."
"It was tough to have to work weekends, yes, but people like Patricia made it such a joy," Peters said. She noted Patricia's insistence that wearing a particular greenish-blue T-shirt would bring good luck, ensuring their shift would be manageable.
Patricia was also passionate about cats and other animals, and in the Zoom remote-work era, her video meetings were frequently attended by Hudson, the latest in a long line of ginger cats she owned. He is now being taken care of by Patricia's aunt.
A kid with a plan: journalism
"Other people figure out who they're going to be at some point," Michael Cole told NPR, remembering Patricia. "She knew she was going to be a journalist forever."
"That was the only thing she was ever going to want to be," he said.
Michael said he was recently reminded of that early decision when he realized Patricia had used the name of her high school journalism teacher in Nutley, N.J., as a password.
Her plan worked.
Patricia's career spanned over 20 years, from her college newspaper to newsrooms including the Orlando Sentinel, The Columbus Dispatch, The Washington Times, The Star-Ledger and the Law360 news service.
"I can hardly wait" was how she responded to her job offer from NPR, as Senior Supervising Editor Desiree Hicks recalls. "She never wavered in her enthusiasm."
Patricia joined NPR in 2017; she left the network last year. Former colleagues remembered how Patricia brought insight and clarity to a wide range of stories, whether it was the turbulence of U.S. politics, the drama of Olympic sports or the tragedy of war.
"Patricia was the best journalism has to offer: a tough editor with a critical eye who cared about what matters most — getting the story right, making sure it's fair and that words have meaning and are important," digital editor Avie Schneider said.
"She saved all of us countless times. I will miss her."
Treating life like an open book — even the painful parts
A testament to the power of Patricia's impact is that remembrances on her Facebook page are coming from people who worked with her across her career — all the way back to The Daily Collegian, the student newspaper at Pennsylvania State University.
Patricia also had extraordinary courage. While in college, she wrote with searing honesty about her experience of surviving rape as an 18-year-old freshman. One year after writing an anonymous column, she put her name and photo on an update in which she asked the question: "I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I be the one who should feel guilty every time I tell someone or they find out?"
She noted the frequency of rape and the years of trauma and fallout it can impose on survivors.
"This column is for the people who still don't even know that what was done to them was wrong," she wrote.
When NPR faced a reckoning over an executive who was forced to resign in 2017 after accusations of sexual harassment, Patricia played a big role in the group of women who pushed for change, said business reporter Camila Domonoske.
It was proof, Domonoske said, that "in addition to making our stories better, she really wanted to make NPR a better place."
Patricia was also candid in discussing her struggles with depression. And she repeatedly lent her strength to others, as seen in a Facebook post from last December, when she encouraged friends who were facing the holiday season amid personal losses and grief: "There is no right way to cope," she wrote. "Just know: Everyone will screw up once in awhile, and you're doing great."
The Cole family mourns Aunt Patti
As news of her death spreads, Patricia Cole is being remembered as a valued editor as well as a loving daughter, sister and aunt. Known as Aunt Patti, she encouraged her niece's and nephew's interests and cherished their time together.
Patricia and her family also shared an enduring passion for Star Wars, as well as the New York Football Giants — whose stadium is near their hometown in New Jersey.
The Cole family announced that a Mass will be held at 10 a.m. on Thursday at the Church of the Presentation in Upper Saddle River, New Jersey.
"All are welcome, to celebrate her life and pay respects to her family. In lieu of flowers, donations in Patricia's memory may be made to the ASPCA," Michael said.

Former President Donald Trump to be deposed by NY attorney general on Wednesday
By Kara Scannell, CNN
Former President Donald Trump is expected to be deposed by lawyers from New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office Wednesday, people familiar with the matter tell CNN, pitting the two adversaries against each other after a more than three-year civil investigation into the Trump Organization’s finances.
It is unclear whether Trump will answer questions or assert his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination during the behind-closed-doors testimony.
Trump said in a post on Truth Social early Wednesday morning that he would be “seeing” James “for a continuation of the greatest Witch Hunt in U.S. history! My great company, and myself, are being attacked from all sides. Banana Republic!”
Trump was seen leaving Trump Tower in New York City on Wednesday morning.
The deposition comes during an extraordinary legal week for the former President. On Monday, the FBI executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, his primary residence in Florida, in connection with an investigation into the handling of classified documents. On Tuesday, a federal appeals court denied his long-running effort to block a House committee from obtaining his tax returns.
Some Trump advisers have advocated that the former President answer questions since he previously testified about his financial statements under oath, while others have warned him against providing any answers because of the potential legal jeopardy he may face, people familiar with the matter tell CNN. The Manhattan district attorney has a separate ongoing criminal investigation into the Trump Organization.
Another consideration that has been discussed, the people familiar say, is the political implications of not answering questions as Trump is widely expected to announce that he will run for president in 2024. While campaigning in 2016, Trump suggested not answering questions was a sign of guilt. At a campaign stop in Iowa in 2016, Trump said, “If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”
A lawyer for Trump declined to comment. A representative for the attorney general’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Trump’s testimony comes near the end of a long running New York state investigation into whether the Trump Organization misled lenders, insurers, and tax authorities by providing them misleading financial statements.
In January, James’ office said it found “significant” evidence indicating the Trump Organization used false or misleading asset valuations in its financial statements to obtain loans, insurance and tax benefits. The attorney general’s civil investigation is nearing the end and a decision over an enforcement action may come soon.
The former President and the Trump Organization have previously denied any wrongdoing and called the civil investigation by James, a Democrat, politically motivated. Both James and Trump have traded public barbs.
The showdown follows Trump’s failed attempt to block subpoenas for depositions from him and his children, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump.
Ivanka Trump’s deposition took place last week and Trump Jr. had his deposition in late July, people familiar with the matter said.
Trump Jr., who runs the Trump Organization with his brother Eric Trump, and Ivanka Trump did not assert their Fifth Amendment rights and answered the state’s questions, the people said. It is not clear what they were specifically asked or what they said. Their decision breaks with Eric Trump and former Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg, who both asserted their Fifth Amendment rights more than 500 times when deposed in 2020.
Trump has testified under oath in civil lawsuits over the past decades and since leaving office he has also been deposed. Last year he provided videotaped testimony for a lawsuit involving an assault outside of Trump Tower. The case is set to go to trial in the fall. Trump has denied any wrongdoing.
Questions about Trump’s net worth
Trump has been questioned about the accuracy of his net worth and financial statements in previous lawsuits, something some advisers say is one reason why he should answer questions in the current investigation.
In a 2007 deposition in a defamation lawsuit, Trump once said he calculated his net worth, to a degree, on his “feelings,” and that he put the “best spin” on some of the assets. “I think everybody” exaggerates about the value of their properties, he testified, adding: “Who wouldn’t?”
Did he inflate values? “Not beyond reason,” Trump said.
In the past Trump has tried to push responsibility for his valuation decisions onto Weisselberg, while at the same time, documents and depositions appear to show that, even as Trump claimed that he left those valuation decisions to others, he was also deeply involved in running his business.
Trump said in the 2007 deposition that the only person he dealt with in preparing the statements of financial condition was Weisselberg.
“I would give my opinion,” Trump said in the deposition. “We’ll talk about it,” he said, adding that “ultimately” and “predominately” it was Weisselberg who came up with the final values, which Trump said he viewed as “conservative.”
When questioned specifically about swings in values from one year to the next Trump had ready explanations.
During the deposition, Trump was questioned over the family compound in Westchester County, New York, called Seven Springs where its value nearly doubled in one year from $80 million in 2005 to $150 million in 2006.
“The property was valued very low, in my opinion, then and it became very — it just has gone up,” Trump said.
He was asked if he had any basis for that view, other than his own opinion.
“I don’t believe so, no,” he said.
In addition to Weisselberg, two others involved in the preparation of the financial statements, Jeff McConney, the Trump Organization’s controller, and Donald Bender, the real estate firm’s external accountant, have both been interviewed by the attorney general’s office and Manhattan district attorney.
Trump’s lawyers are likely to argue that the financial statements were not audited so anyone relying on them would be on notice. The financial statements reviewed by CNN show they have numerous disclosures indicating that they did not conform with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, none of the lenders lost money on the transactions, which could make it harder to allege that they were defrauded or misled.
The appraisals underlying the property values were in many cases provided by Trump’s longtime appraiser Cushman & Wakefield, which is also under investigation. Cushman, which broke ties with Trump after the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, has denied any wrongdoing and stands by its work.
Legal risks to Trump
The depositions pose significant legal risks to the Trumps.
If Trump is sued by James and the case goes to trial, the jury can draw an “adverse inference” against him for not answering questions, which could result in a higher judgment against him if he’s found liable. If he answers questions, it could open the door to potential civil and criminal liability.
The criminal investigation, led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, has slowed but not stopped. Earlier this year, Bragg would not authorize prosecutors to present evidence before a state grand jury after raising concerns about the strength of the case, CNN has reported. A special grand jury hearing evidence in the case expired in April, but a new one could be seated in the future.
Bragg told CNN in an interview in April: “Anytime you have a parallel civil, criminal investigation, if there’s testimony in that proceeding, obviously we will look at it.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As abortion becomes more difficult — or impossible — to access in many states, some patients are buying pills online and managing the process on their own. That can create new questions for healthcare providers about how to protect their patients – and themselves – if questions or complications arise.
Unlike in years before Roe v. Wade in 1973, when women sometimes died from seeking unsafe and illegal abortions, Dr. Nisha Verma says patients now have more options.
"We know that people can safely manage their own abortions with pills when they have the information and support that they need," Verma said. "We do expect that we will see more people that are self-managing their abortions."
Verma, an OB-GYN and abortion provider, says years of research show abortion pills are safe if taken correctly. Even so, she says some patients will be desperate enough to try riskier methods, and others will face more routine questions or complications that require medical support.
"That hasn't completely disappeared," she said. "We need to be aware of that and able to provide compassionate, non-judgmental care to people that present to the formal medical system after self-managing in any of those ways."
Farah Diaz-Tello, senior counsel with the legal advocacy group If/When/How, says those with questions or concerns about symptoms like heavy bleeding shouldn't be afraid to seek medical help.
"Our big concern is that even if there's no legal basis for them to be criminalized, the fear of being criminalized and being entangled in the legal system is going to drive them away from healthcare if they need it," she said.
At least for now, Diaz-Tello says most abortion laws in the United States don't directly punish patients for seeking or self-inducing abortion. But that could change in a rapidly shifting legal landscape, and she says some patients may fear overzealous prosecutors.
In a new paper co-authored for the Society of Family Planning, Verma offers guidance for healthcare workers who may be treating such patients. She says health care workers should be thoughtful about the information they document — both to protect patients, and themselves.
For example, she says, the treatment for a patient with heavy bleeding is generally the same whether it's caused by a miscarriage or abortion pills — so it may not be necessary to share that information, particularly in a state with restrictive laws. Verma advises doctors to get legal advice about how they can counsel their patients about abortion, including self-managed options.
Dr. Christina Francis, with the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians & Gynecologists, says she does not favor criminal penalties for patients who self-induce, but she hopes to see more state lawmakers introduce legislation aimed at those who distribute abortion pills illegally.
"Who I would see at fault would be whoever is providing these pills for these women," Francis said.
Already, Republican lawmakers in many states are having those discussions. Some abortion rights opponents have suggested using the threat of civil ligation or prosecution to prevent people from helping abortion travel across state lines, or distributing abortion pills to people in states with abortion bans.

If you missed last month’s supermoon, you have another chance.
This month’s full moon is Wednesday. At the same time, the moon’s orbit will bring it closer to Earth than usual. This cosmic combo is called a supermoon.
That can make the moon appear slightly bigger and brighter, weather permitting.
One name for Wednesday’s full moon is the “Buck moon” — a reference to the time of year when new antlers are growing on male deer, or bucks.
The supermoon on June 14 was the “Strawberry moon” because it’s the full moon at strawberry harvest time. | 2022-07-12T14:22:36+00:00 | cbs42.com | https://www.cbs42.com/hooked-on-science/ap-science/theres-another-chance-to-catch-a-supermoon-on-wednesday/ |

EUNICE, N.M. (AP) — The Nuclear Regulatory Commission on Monday began a special inspection at the Urenco USA uranium enrichment facility in southeastern New Mexico following an incident last month.
NRC officials said the April 21 incident involved the operation of a crane near a building that handles uranium hexafluoride without the required safety controls present.
They said there are concerns about safety protocols at the site and that warrants additional NRC inspection as it involves a breakdown of controls designed to prevent chemical, radiological and criticality hazards, which are the primary concern at U.S. fuel cycle facilities.
Two similar events last year at the Urenco USA facility prompted the NRC to propose a $70,000 civil penalty.
Inspectors from the NRC’s Region II office in Atlanta are at the Urenco USA plant for the next days.
They plan to assess the effectiveness of previous corrective actions taken by the facility to implement safety controls during construction activities and evaluate the appropriateness of the company’s overall response.
The inspection team will document their findings and conclusions in a public report that's usually issued within 45 days of the inspection’s completion. | 2023-05-08T21:15:26+00:00 | ourmidland.com | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/nrc-starts-special-inspection-of-new-mexico-18086596.php |
JUBA, South Sudan (AP) — An explosion of violence in South Sudan is raising fears that the country’s fragile peace agreement will unravel before elections the international community hopes can be held next year.
The wave of near-daily killings across this East African country is often blamed on marauding militias whose attacks threaten the 2018 truce between President Salva Kiir and Vice President Riek Machar.
While the two leaders work in the same government in relative peace in the capital Juba, elsewhere South Sudan appears at war with itself: Hundreds of people have been killed since the start of the year in violence ranging from cattle raids to ethnically motivated revenge killings.
The violence appeared to worsen in June after Pope Francis canceled his visit this month, citing his knee problem. The pope’s visit was meant to encourage faith in a country damaged by years of war, including a long conflict for independence from Sudan and then a civil war.
At least 209 people were killed and 33 others wounded across the country in June alone, according to a violence tracker by the Juba-based civic group known by its initials as CEPO.
Both Kiir and Machar are under pressure to release a timetable for presidential elections in 2023. While Kiir expresses hope that a vote can be held next year, Machar has said that elections are impossible amid such widespread insecurity.
In recent days the violence has been worst in the president’s home state of Warrap, where victims include a military intelligence chief and a former government commissioner.
“We have lost many lives in communal violence,” Kiir said in a speech in early July, noting the killings in Warrap’s Tonj North county, where gunmen killed 30 soldiers on June 25.
The Tonj North clashes erupted after authorities there sent security forces to recover cattle stolen by raiders from another county. In other cases, deadly skirmishes have been triggered by efforts to disarm youths.
“I deeply regretted their death,” Kiir said of the people killed in Warrap. “We cannot allow this senseless killing of both security personnel and civilians to continue.”
Killings also have been reported in the Western Equatoria, Eastern Equatoria and Central Equatoria states, the president said, acknowledging that peace gains since 2018 have been eroded by what officials describe as inter-communal violence.
Following the killings in Warrap, Kiir’s army chief, Gen. Santino Deng Wol, vowed to defeat ethnic militias in comments to state broadcaster SSBC. “We are responsible for the security of the country,” he said. “We will not allow chaos to happen, and we would not allow anyone to disturb the security.”
But some analysts say government troops and police — often outnumbered by civilian attackers in areas awash with small weapons — can’t be relied on to protect civilians. They also charge that the attackers have powerful political backers in Juba.
“The armed youth in Tonj North are more powerful than our army and other security institutions,” said Edmund Yakani, head of the CEPO group tracking violence. The violence is “undermining the genuine implementation” of the peace agreement, he said.
It also is hindering humanitarian efforts among communities in urgent need of food, medicine and other supplies.
“The scale of sub-national conflict — which now spreads from north to south, from east to west — is alarming,” Nicholas Haysom, the U.N. representative to South Sudan, told the Security Council last month.
More than 80% of civilian casualties this year are “attributed to intercommunal violence and community-based militias,” he said. “This violence divides communities and hampers reconciliation.”
There were high hopes when oil-rich South Sudan gained independence from Sudan in 2011 after a long conflict. But the country slid into civil war in December 2013 largely based on ethnic divisions when forces loyal to Kiir battled those supporting Machar. Tens of thousands of people were killed in the war, which ended with the 2018 peace agreement. But the terms of that accord have not been fully implemented, and persistent violence is weakening it even more.
A panel of U.N. experts in May said the 2018 agreement is faltering. The deal “is now hostage to the political calculations of the country’s military and security elites, who use a combination of violence, misappropriated public resources and patronage to pursue their own narrow interests,” said the report.
Others in South Sudan express similar alarm.
“The country is breaking into pieces,” said James Akot, a political science scholar in Juba. “The country is breaking into community defense forces that can actually overpower our army soon.” | 2022-07-18T23:42:12+00:00 | texomashomepage.com | https://www.texomashomepage.com/news/international/explosion-of-violence-in-south-sudan-threatens-peace-pact/ |

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Katie Jordan suspects she never once wore a mask.
But when another respiratory sickness — not COVID, according to her test results — knocked her down this fall semester, she didn’t hesitate. When she had to venture out to the grocery store, she masked up.
“I knew (other shoppers) didn’t want the cold that I had, even if what I had wasn’t COVID,” said Jordan, a doctoral candidate in engineering and public policy at Carnegie Mellon University. She thinks the pandemic has normalized masking for people with a range of respiratory symptoms, no matter what’s ailing them.
Administrators at Pittsburgh-area universities think so, too. After influenza season’s worst start in years socked local campuses, they hope habits embraced during the pandemic will help contain the virus when students return in January for the spring semester.
Students aren’t just masking voluntarily but sidelining themselves from group activities when they feel unwell — both holdover practices from the pandemic that they said they hope will keep their peers unexposed and healthy.
“There’s no longer any stigma to masking,” said Dr. Elizabeth Wettick, interim director in Student Health Services at the University of Pittsburgh.
Where once students with upper-respiratory infections would rally and party, she said, now their peers would want to know: “What are you doing here?”
“People are cognizant that they don’t want to sicken others,” Wettick said. “That messaging has permeated, which is a real bonus.”
Documented flu cases began climbing at Pitt’s Oakland campus in mid-October and outpaced positive COVID tests by more than five to one soon after Halloween, Wettick said, citing university-collected health data. She estimated Pitt students haven’t faced a flu season this oppressive in more than a decade.
At Slippery Rock University in Butler County, flu cases in the fall semester numbered more than double those of the last two fall semesters, spokesman Justin Zackal said. But he cautioned that apples-to-apples comparisons with 2020 and 2021 are a challenge.
Pandemic masking standards and related precautions over the past couple years limited not only the coronavirus but also flu transmission, setting up an eventual flu resurgence, according to epidemiologists. Zackal said Slippery Rock lifted its masking policy March 1, 2022.
Even without a mask mandate, covering up has become a norm at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, said Melissa Dick, nurse director at IUP Health Service.
“I think it’s accepted that if you don’t feel well, put the mask on,” Dick said.
She believes the mindset has made a difference: While IUP is seeing flu, it’s not overrun with the virus, she said. Dick estimated case numbers there were about typical for flu season.
For this point in the season, statewide health data show by far the highest volume of confirmed flu cases in at least eight years. People in the commonwealth had more than 124,000 confirmed cases between early October and mid-December, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
Overall new-case reports appeared to be easing slightly around mid-December. The state was counting 27 flu-rated deaths at that point.
Flu season generally follows an autumn-into-winter pattern, with a peak in cases often between December and February, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But when flu strikes, and how long it lasts, are less predictable since the start of the pandemic, the CDC warned.
At Duquesne University, which recorded 149 flu cases by mid-December, students are keeping themselves out of class when they’re sick and pledging to make up the class work, said Provost David Dausey. The university has an eye on the holiday break, too.
“We always ask people, if they’re experiencing [illness] signs and symptoms before they come back, to wait” and delay their return to campus, said Dausey, a professor of medicine and health sciences.
He and other campus officials emphasized it’s not too late for an annual flu shot, which they pitched as a primary safeguard against the virus. Data suggests early flu outbreaks in a campus environment could contribute to the virus’ spread in the broader community, said Dr. Linda Nabha, an infectious-diseases specialist with UPMC.
In addition to providing the flu shot, a clean environment and health supplies, colleges and universities can emphasize flu prevention through direct communications including text messages and emails, the CDC said via email. Among its suggested messages: Sick students should stay out of class, and everyone should clean frequently touched objects and surfaces, cover coughs with a tissue and wash hands often with soap and water.
The CDC said people can consider masking, too, to protect against respiratory viruses.
Adjusting the culture
Back at Carnegie Mellon, flu volumes by mid-December were higher than expected but not overwhelming, according to Christine Andrews, the executive director of University Health Services. Indicators suggest an increase in January and February, she said. Having gone through the pandemic, the university “developed the capacity to assist students when it comes to notifying faculty and working with them to support flexible deadlines.”
The university’s culture has adjusted to better support staying home during illness, said Jordan, a vice president at the CMU Graduate Student Assembly. Still, she cautioned that day-to-day habits seemed to shift again later in the fall semester — back toward pre-pandemic norms. Precautions had appeared to lessen.
“It’s one thing to miss a class. But you really can’t miss a final” exam, Jordan said. “There’s not much you can do in that situation.”
She cited “a growing feeling that if you tested negative for COVID, even if you’re symptomatic, it’s fine for you to come to campus and continue as usual.”
Her take: Everyone should apply COVID-style precautions to the flu. Wettick said students have gotten much sicker from the flu than historically many have been with COVID — tangling with high fevers, myalgias and nasty coughs.
“Just because it’s not COVID doesn’t mean it’s not highly transmissible and dangerous,” Jordan said. | 2022-12-31T19:25:50+00:00 | seattletimes.com | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/masking-up-by-choice-colleges-see-hope-against-flu-as-students-continue-pandemic-practices/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_seattle-news |
(Motor Authority) — Seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton is now part owner of the National Football League’s Denver Broncos, the team announced.
Hamilton joins a new contingent of owners that also includes former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Reuters reported. This follows a June agreement between the Broncos and the Walton-Penner family, led by Walmart heir Rob Walton, for the purchase of the team reportedly worth $4.65 billion—a record for an American sports franchise.
“We’re delighted to welcome seven-time Formula 1 world champion Sir Lewis Hamilton to our ownership group,” Walton said in a statement announcing the addition of the motorsports star, who was knighted last year. “He is a champion competitor who knows what it takes to lead a winning team and a fierce advocate for global equality, including in his own sport.”
F1’s only Black driver, Hamilton set up the Hamilton Commission in 2020 to promote diversity in motorsports. He’s also made several statements of solidarity with protests for racial justice in recent years, wearing shirts with the slogans “Black Lives Matter” and “Arrest The Cops Who Killed Breonna Taylor” at races.
The Broncos are three-time Super Bowl champions. Hamilton’s seven F1 driver’s titles, including six with Mercedes-AMG and one with McLaren, tie the record set by Michael Schumacher. It’s unlikely that he’ll break the record this season, due to a sharp drop-off in performance by Mercedes.
While this is Hamilton’s first venture into American sports, it isn’t his first experience of team ownership. The British driver also owns the X44 team that competes in the all-electric Extreme E off-road racing series. | 2022-08-07T02:31:05+00:00 | siouxlandproud.com | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/automotive/lewis-hamilton-is-now-part-owner-of-the-denver-broncos/ |

NORFOLK, Neb. (KCAU) – Nearly 20 years ago, the body of a baby boy was discovered at Nebraska’s Elkhorn River. Now, the mother has been identified.
On June 17, 2004, police recovered the body of the full-term infant from the Norfolk Fork of the river in Norfolk, according to a release from the Norfolk Police Division.
The release said that an autopsy was unable to determine whether or not the baby was alive before being found. Additional investigations were unable to determine the mother’s identity at the time.
DNA samples were compared to several individuals and revisited on multiple occasions as new technologies became available, but they were unsuccessful until this year.
In March 2023, Norfolk Police worked with the University of Nebraska Medical Center’s (UNMC) DNA lab to investigate the death.
Through a genetic genealogy service, UNMC was able to determine a possible mother, according to the release.
Officials traveled to where she lived. With the help of law enforcement, authorities made contact with her, the release said.
Officials said the mother, who gave a sample of her DNA to confirm her identity, told them she was a juvenile when she gave birth at her home. She said the baby was stillborn and that she disposed of the body in the river.
Another individual was also identified, interviewed, and determined to have been aware of the pregnancy and stillbirth.
Police said the statute of limitations had expired for any misdemeanor crime that may have been committed in this case. There is also insufficient evidence for prosecution. | 2023-07-05T19:26:50+00:00 | texomashomepage.com | https://www.texomashomepage.com/news/national-news/mother-identified-almost-20-years-after-babys-body-found-at-nebraska-river/ |

The arrival of warmer weather across the U.S. will soon have a number of shoppers considering a wind-in-the-hair convertible. That’s because, for many people, having limitless headroom and a mobile means of sunbathing is automobile nirvana — though perhaps not for drivers who prefer loose-fitting hats.
There’s no shortage of makes and models available with a folding roof, and at prices on some models that won’t necessarily jeopardize a summer vacation fund. The automotive experts at Edmunds have helped refine these sun-loving car searches by choosing five of their top convertibles for 2023 based on their own testing and evaluations. The vehicles are listed in ascending order of price and include the destination fee.
2023 MAZDA MX-5 MIATA The Mazda MX-5 Miata is all about balance. While the Miata’s not the fastest small sports car by any stretch of the imagination, its affordable price and fun-to-drive nature make it one of Edmunds’ favorite convertibles. With sharp steering reflexes and tiny dimensions, the two-passenger Miata is a delight to drive on curvy roads. Its four-cylinder engine provides suitable acceleration, and it’ll go easy on your fuel budget.
The manually folding soft top can be quickly lowered from the driver’s seat. An available folding hardtop version, called the Miata RF, is also available. When raised, it provides added security and a handsome coupe-like profile. The bad news is that the Miata’s cockpit is quite snug and taller people might not fit. A tiny trunk is another drawback.
Starting price: $29,215 Fuel economy: 29-30 mpg combined
2023 FORD MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE The Ford Mustang convertible has been a symbol of open-air adventure since it first went on sale nearly 60 years ago. To a number of Mustang fans, the ability to fold back the top on a sunny day is as essential as having a steering wheel and pedals.
The Mustang is about to embark on its seventh generation when the all-new 2024 model arrives later this summer. This could lead to deals on the outgoing version. A punchy turbocharged four-cylinder coupled with a choice of six-speed manual or 10-speed automatic is the base powertrain. A rumbling V8 is optional and can also be paired with either gearbox. At full bore, a V8-powered Mustang needed only 4.6 seconds to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in Edmunds’ testing.
Starting price: $34,645 Fuel economy: 17-25 mpg combined
2023 FORD BRONCO How did a midsize SUV sneak into this list of convertibles? Available in two- and four-door configurations, the 2023 Ford Bronco has a removable soft top or hardtop available across its numerous trims. You can even take off the doors if you want the ultimate open-air experience.
Available with a turbocharged four-cylinder or turbocharged V6, the bulky Bronco doesn’t feel unruly during city or highway driving. Like its direct rival, the Jeep Wrangler, the Bronco also has tenacious off-road capabilities. You can enjoy all the sun and fresh air a convertible provides and continue your adventuring even when paved roads come to an end.
Starting price: $36,390 Fuel economy: 15-20 mpg combined
2023 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Another iconic sports car available as a convertible, the Chevrolet Corvette has a mid-engine layout and room for two onboard. Significantly less expensive than the Porsche 911, the latest Corvette’s flashy exterior looks like it belongs to an exotic car costing two or three times its price. During testing, Edmunds praised the acceleration of the “bonkers fast” Corvette as well as its refined ride and sharp handling.
While getting in and out can take some dexterity, the cabin is otherwise pretty roomy and boasts a user-friendly touchscreen interface. Chevrolet is also offering a convertible version of its new Z06, which is the best way to listen to that model’s thrilling V8 soundtrack.
Starting price: $73,395 Fuel economy: 14-19 mpg combined
2023 PORSCHE 911 CABRIOLET From behind the wheel, the Porsche 911 reminds you how decades of precise engineering and evolution have resulted in a sports car that feels completely dialed into the driver. Grip and handling are superb, yet the Porsche 911 is still plenty refined and comfortable enough for a daily commute. Granted, its six-figure starting price demands plenty of overtime to afford one.
Another big draw to the 911 is the wide variety of available configurations. They start at a base Carrera Cabriolet and max out at the 911 Turbo S Cabriolet. There are seemingly limitless ways to customize your Porsche too. All-wheel drive is available should you want to make your 911 convertible a year-round machine.
Starting price: $128,850 Fuel economy: 16-21 mpg combined
EDMUNDS SAYS: Summer approaches and convertible season is about to be in full bloom. Open-air vehicles like the rugged Ford Bronco, lithe Mazda MX-5 Miata roadster, and rapid Chevrolet Corvette prove sun-soaked driving adventures are still available.

BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Bruins were already on pace for the best record in NHL history when they added toughness and depth for what they hope will be a long playoff run.
Now general manager Don Sweeney has helped secure the team’s future, too.
The Bruins signed All-Star forward David Pastrnak to an eight-year contract extension on Thursday that will pay him $90 million — the sixth-richest deal in NHL history. The deal locks up one of the league’s MVP candidates through the 2030-31 season for $11.25 million a season.
Pastrnak, 26, is second in the league this season with 42 goals, adding 38 assists while leading Boston to the best record in the NHL. He has spent all of his nine NHL seasons with the Bruins, totaling 282 goals and 302 assists in his career.
He had been eligible to become a free agent after this season.
The Bruins also added forward Tyler Bertuzzi on Thursday in a deal that will send a top-10 protected first-round pick in 2024 and a fourth-rounder in 2025 to Detroit. (The Red Wings are retaining half of Bertuzzi’s salary for the rest of the season.) Last week, Sweeney acquired defenseman Dmitry Orlov and forward Garnet Hathaway from Washington.
Bertuzzi, 28, helps fill a gap left by Taylor Hall’s injury. The 2010 No. 1 overall draft pick, who has 16 goals and 20 assists this season, was placed on long-term injured reserve on Thursday, a move that costs the team one of its top forwards but saves $6 million against the salary cap.
Bertuzzi has 14 points in 29 games this season with the Red Wings. He has 88 goals and 114 assists in 305 regular-season games. He has yet to reach the playoffs in the NHL. Forward Nick Foligno was placed on injured reserve. He has 10 goals and 16 assists this season.

ORLANDO, Fla. – The four lawyers listed on the Walt Disney Company’s lawsuit against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis include a legendary lawyer who handled cases for Disney and former President Trump, lawyers who focus on contract and constitutional law, and all of them are qualified in some form or fashion to work on the case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Disney filed a suit against DeSantis and the members of his Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, which replaced the Reedy Creek Improvement District that used to manage Disney property, on Wednesday.
Disney alleges DeSantis and his board violated several of the company’s constitutional rights in their campaign to take over the governing board for Disney’s property, including violations of the contract clause, the takings clause, the First Amendment and the due process clause in the U.S. Constitution.
[RELATED: READ Disney’s lawsuit against DeSantis]
To argue the case, four attorneys have signed onto the suit.
Daniel Petrocelli
Petrocelli is a vice chair at O’Melveny and Myers. His expertise is in sports, entertainment, intellectual property, unfair competition, securities and other areas of law. Most famously, he represented the family of Ronald Goldman in a civil lawsuit against OJ Simpson in 1997. Ultimately, a jury awarded Goldman over $8 million in damages.
He also was one of the attorneys representing Disney in the lawsuit regarding royalties and rights over Winnie the Pooh. Other cases under his belt include the lawsuit against former President Donald Trump and Trump University in 2016, and a suit against the federal government to allow the merger between Time Warner and AT&T.
Petrocelli most recently represented Disney in a lawsuit brought on by actress Scarlett Johannsen. She had argued her contract was breached by Disney because bonuses were tied to box office returns for the film “Black Widow,” but the film then aired on Disney+. The suit ended in settlement.
Jonathan Hacker
Jonathan Hacker chairs the Supreme Court and Appellate Litigation practice for O’Melveny and Myers.
Among the lawsuits he’s worked on recently are several involving insurance companies during the pandemic, as well as work in favor of the merger between Penguin Random House and Simon and Schuster publishing companies.
Hacker has argued six cases before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Alan Schoenfeld
Alan Schoenfeld is an attorney with Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr in New York. Schoenfeld’s work focuses on commercial disputes, with experience working in contract and tort claims. He has experience with litigation at the federal appeals court level and at the U.S. Supreme Court level. He also clerked for Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
Schoenfeld also does pro bono work for LGBTQ causes and groups.
Adam Losey
Adam Losey runs his own law firm in Orlando, where he has represented top corporations in court cases, and also represented Florida against Georgia in the water wars lawsuit. His practice handles various aspects of business law and he is admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Not to be outdone, the Central Florida Tourism Oversight Board intends to lawyer up to combat Disney’s attorneys as it seeks to reassert control and oversight over Disney property, and would raise taxes if necessary to fund the effort.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy likely rolled out of 2022 with momentum, registering decent growth in the face of painful inflation, high interest rates and rising concern that a recession may be months away.
Economists have estimated that the gross domestic product — the broadest measure of economic output — grew at a 2.3% annual pace from October through December, according to a survey of forecasters by the data firm FactSet.
The Commerce Department will issue its first of three estimates of fourth-quarter GDP growth at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time Thursday.
Despite a likely second straight quarter of expansion, the economy is widely expected to slow and then slide into a recession sometime in the coming months as increasingly high interest rates, engineered by the Federal Reserve, take a toll. The Fed’s rate hikes have inflated borrowing costs for consumers and businesses, from mortgages to auto loans to corporate credit.
The housing market, which is especially vulnerable to higher loan rates, has been badly bruised: Sales of existing homes have dropped for 11 straight months. Investment in housing plunged at a 27% annual rate from July through September.
And consumer spending, which fuels roughly 70% of the entire economy, is likely to soften in the months ahead, along with the still-robust job market. The resilience of the labor market has been a major surprise. Last year, employers added 4.5 million jobs, second only to the 6.7 million that were added in 2021 in government records going back to 1940. And last month’s unemployment rate, 3.5%, matched a 53-year low.
But the good times for America’s workers aren’t likely to last. As higher rates make borrowing and spending increasingly expensive across the economy, many consumers will spend less and employers will likely hire less.
Last year, the Fed raised its benchmark rate seven times in unusually large increments to try to curb the spike in consumer prices. Yet another Fed rate hike, though a smaller one, is expected next week.
The central bank has been responding to an inflation rate that remains stubbornly high even though it has been gradually easing. Year-over-year inflation was raging at a 9.1% rate in June, the highest level in more than 40 years. It has since cooled — to 6.5% in December — but is still far above the Fed’s 2% annual target.
Another threat to the economy this year is rooted in politics: House Republicans could refuse to raise the federal debt limit if the Biden administration rejects their demand for broad spending cuts. A failure to raise the borrowing cap would prevent the federal government from being able to pay all its obligations and could shatter its credit.
Moody’s Analytics estimates that the resulting upheaval could wipe out nearly 6 million American jobs in a recession similar to the devastating one that was triggered by the 2007-2009 financial crisis.
At least the economy is likely beginning the year on firmer footing than it did at the start of 2022. Last year, the economy shrank at an annual pace of 1.6% from January through March and by a further 0.6% from April through June. Those two consecutive quarters of economic contraction raised fears that a recession might have begun.
But the economy regained strength over the summer, propelled by resilient consumer spending and higher exports. It expanded at an unexpectedly strong 3.2% annual pace from July through September. | 2023-01-26T12:29:05+00:00 | pahomepage.com | https://www.pahomepage.com/news/national/ap-us-economy-likely-slowed-but-still-posted-solid-growth-in-q4/ |

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — As our neighbors to the north flaunt their fall foliage and crisp October temperatures, there has been very little sign of fall in Florida.
Then again, this is nothing unexpected but a taste of fall is certainly something to look forward to after Tampa Bay's hottest summer on record.
COOLER TEMPS AFTER WARMEST SUMMER ON RECORD
Not to look too much in the rearview mirror at this past summer, but Tampa International Airport did record its hottest summer on record with an average temperature of 85.7 degrees.
This blew the old record hottest summer (2020) out of the water by 0.9 degrees. While 0.9 degrees may not seem like much, the third hottest summer and tenth hottest summer on record in Tampa are only separated by 0.8 degrees.
'FALL'ING TEMPERATURES COMING
Back to the taste of fall coming. A cold front sweeping across the majority of the county is already dropping temperatures into the 30s for many across the Plains and Midwestern states.
This cold front will continue to move east and southeast across the country before sweeping through Florida on Thursday.
Ahead of the cold front, showers and storms will be likely on Thursday across Tampa Bay, but once the front moves through Thursday evening, drier and slightly cooler air will sink south across the region.
While the cooldown will not be as significant as it will be to the north, as the cooler and drier air pushes in from the north on Friday, by Friday night and Saturday morning, many places will see temperatures drop into the low 60s and even 50s through the Nature Coast.
The Tampa Bay area has already encountered one early taste of fall after Hurricane Ian helped usher in cooler and drier conditions into the region in the days following the storm. The high temperature in Tampa on Sept. 28 was 76 degrees and then 77 degrees on Sept. 29 and 30, which was about 10 degrees cooler than normal.
A reinforcing push of cool air then dropped the low temperature down to 63 degrees on Oct. 4th.
Since then, the temperatures have been warming back to near-normal if not a little warmer than normal. That is until this cold front moves through.
High temperatures after this cold front won't drop quite as much as they did after Hurricane Ian, but they will be in the low-middle 80s for several days into next week — and the humidity will be much lower.
The lower humidity will also aid in temperatures cooling off overnight when lows are forecast to stay in the low-middle 60s into the middle of next week.
On the horizon, another reinforcing push of cooler air is expected to sweep into the area by the middle of next week. This wave of cooler air very well could drop high temperatures into the 70s and bring a few more people low temperatures in the 50s.
END OF THE RAINY SEASON?
A side note to all of this is that with these cold fronts and cooler temperatures the rainy season is pretty much finished for the year. Since Hurricane Ian moved through, there has been very little sea breeze showers and thunderstorm activity, which almost perfectly coincides with the climatological end date of the rainy season of Oct. 10. | 2022-10-12T14:40:35+00:00 | wtsp.com | https://www.wtsp.com/article/weather/florida-cold-front-weather-forecast/67-7a5fe75b-2d18-40e3-b3c3-524bc8400c38 |

Former President Donald Trump easily won the Conservative Political Action Conference’s (CPAC) closely watched straw poll on Saturday, notching a symbolic win among the Republican grassroots as he seeks to reclaim the White House in 2024.
Trump won with 62 percent, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), likely his closest rival, came in at 20 percent. Businessman Perry Johnson, who announced his candidacy for the White House this week, earned 5 percent.
The results aren’t especially surprising; the former president has claimed the top spot in each of the previous five CPAC straw polls, which gauge the presidential preferences of conference attendees.
Trump won last year’s straw poll at CPAC in Orlando, Fla., with 59 percent support. DeSantis scored 28 percent in that straw poll.
At the same time, CPAC has transformed into a Trump-friendly venue over the years, and several prospective 2024 presidential contenders, including DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), skipped out on the event this time around.
Trump is set to address the conference on Saturday evening, while two other declared presidential hopefuls, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, delivered remarks earlier in the week. | 2023-03-04T22:59:15+00:00 | kdvr.com | https://kdvr.com/hill-politics/trump-easily-wins-cpac-straw-poll/ |
What you need to know about lifetime warranties
Lifetime warranties are an indispensable tool for building consumer confidence and brand loyalty. It doesn’t matter if you manufacture pants or pole saws, when a shopper sees the words “lifetime warranty,” they immediately feel more certain about making a purchase. As beneficial as these guarantees can be to your business, however, there aren’t very many companies that offer them.
Why is a lifetime warranty a good idea for a manufacturer?
A lifetime warranty is a sales tool. It shows the manufacturer has faith in its product and is willing to back up that faith with a guarantee. It can help the individual who is tottering between two brands make a final decision. A lifetime warranty can increase brand recognition, brand loyalty, word of mouth and sales.
How long does a lifetime warranty last?
According to the Federal Trade Commission, a lifetime warranty can mean at least three different things, and it’s up to the warrantor to define that meaning clearly. If you’re buying a product, such as a muffler for a car, the lifetime warranty can mean for as long as the car lasts. Alternatively, a lifetime warranty can mean for as long as you own the product. In other words, if you sell the vehicle, the warranty is no longer good. Ironically, one of the least often used meanings of a lifetime warranty is for the life of the original purchaser.
What could void a lifetime warranty?
While the purpose of a lifetime warranty is to give a customer peace of mind against defects in materials and workmanship, there are a few common reasons why coverage for a lifetime warranty may stop. Here are four:
- If a manufacturer ceases doing business, it ends the lifetime warranty.
- When a company purchases another company, it doesn’t always continue offering the same warranty.
- If product failure is a result of misuse or lack of proper maintenance, it can void the warranty.
- In a product with many parts, such as a motor vehicle, the individual part that failed might not be covered by the lifetime warranty.

Many say the kitchen is the heart of the home. And when it is well-organized, your kitchen is not only aesthetically pleasing but also more functional. You can plan meals effectively, prepare food efficiently and even tidy up more quickly and easily.
Getting everything from your fridge and pantry to your drawers and cabinets in order can be overwhelming. Fortunately, products designed to contain and organize different areas make it much more manageable.
For instance, if you constantly have to search through your pantry or cupboards to find the spices and seasonings you need, this drawer organizer might be the ideal solution.
The SpaceAid Spice Drawer Organizer set has a spice rack made to fit inside most kitchen drawers along with 28 durable glass spice jars. It also includes 386 spice labels and a chalk marker so that you can customize the bottles as needed.
The inclined steel tray makes it simple to find what you need at a glance and wipes clean without effort. You can choose between pour or sift tops for the spice jars, which also feature metal, airtight lids to help your seasonings stay fresh.
It measures 12.8 inches wide by 17.5 inches deep with a height of 2.5 inches. Measuring your drawer before ordering will ensure you have a proper fit. The brand also offers spice drawer organizers in smaller and larger sizes.
As for quality, this kitchen organizer has 4.8 out of 5 stars on Amazon. Customers who recommend this product appreciate the simplicity of the organizer.
“It’s perfect,” wrote a reviewer who shared a photo of the organizer in a drawer. “In love with this spice rack organizer! Everything is well organized and if I have a spice that doesn’t have a label I can customize it! Highly recommend it!”
They also like how well it fits in their drawers and how easy it is to customize the jars.
“This is EXACTLY what I needed to fix the clutter and mess that I called my spice cabinet,” another reviewer wrote. “After making room in a drawer for this great quality set, I basically stayed up late to complete this project and boy am I glad. The simple labels that come with it covered all the spices I had plus ones I’ve never heard of. Not to mention it comes with blanks and a white gel pen (nostalgia in itself) to create my own label(s). Do yourself a favor and get this great set.”
This spice drawer organizer is usually about $53, but it is currently on sale for $33.98 on Amazon.

BUCHA, Ukraine (AP) — Retired Ukrainian construction worker Borys Markovnikov is on the move again: This time, just a few steps from his home in the town of Bucha, northwest of Kyiv, to seek shelter and warmth at a “Point of Invincibility” — a government-built help station that serves food, drinks, warmth and ultimately, resilience, in the face of Russia’s military onslaught.
In recent weeks, Ukraine has rolled out hundreds of such help stations, christened with a name of defiance as places where residents facing outages of power, heating and water can warm up, charge their phones, enjoy snacks and hot drinks, and even be entertained.
Markovnikov, 78, has had to move a few times. He recalled how he was driven from his home in the eastern Donbas region after Russian-backed separatists seized territory there in 2014. Earlier this year, he fled his adopted town of Bucha — now infamous for massacres during a brief occupation by Russian forces — on foot, across the front line, to Kyiv. Later. he was able to return home, but home is not always an easy place to live.
“My neighbors told me there was a tent with electricity and a TV, and I came to have a look,” said Markovnikov, ogling Monday’s soccer World Cup match between Ghana and South Korea, adding he had no power at home. “We still believe. Without belief, you can’t survive.”
Ukraine’s State Emergencies Service said Friday nearly 1,000 such centers have been erected across the country since the program was first launched on Nov. 18. Its website features a handy online map to show beleaguered citizens where they are located.
As of Friday, over 67,000 people had gotten help in them — and more could pour in if, as many experts and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy have warned, more Russian strikes lie ahead.
Such centers — often consisting of small, insulated tents no larger than a classroom — were rolled out just in time as a string of massive airstrikes by Russian forces deprived many Ukrainians of basics of life at home.
The centers are in essence a stopgap while utility crews scramble to fix cut power lines and put water mains back into operation, so basic services can be restored to homes and businesses.
Power company DTEK said controlled outages continued Monday in Kyiv as a necessary step to balance the hobbled power system and avoid other breakdowns, while ensuring electricity to hospitals and heat-pumping stations.
Only 42 percent of power was available to household customers in the city, and “we do our best to provide light to each customer for 2 to 3 hours twice a day,” the company said.
Outside the “Point of Invincibility” on an esplanade in front of a sports center in Bucha, teens had a snowball fight and a guitarist strummed his instrument outside an inflatable tent.
Inside, kids crouched over games of Roblox on mobile phones as young adults tapped away at laptops and elderly women sat quietly to while away the time. A young girl clutched her dog as staffers poured cups of hot tea and sweetened it with honey.
The “Points of Invincibility” offer a public-service — and free — alternative to the many coffee shops and restaurants that have become hubs for internet access and warmth of Ukrainians seeking refuge from the cold and dark in their own homes.
“When the electricity went out, I had to look for a place with a connection,” said Bucha resident Mykola Pestikov, 26, crouched over his computer. “These can be cafes that take energy from other places, or I look for a ‘point’ — like now.”
Yuri Mikhailovskiy, a firefighter who helps run the site, showed a ledger that indicated more than 1,000 people had come through the center since it was first put up 10 days ago in Bucha, where electricity is spotty or nonexistent in most homes.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Workers at Atlantic City’s nine casinos will vote Wednesday on whether to authorize a strike against the gambling halls, with whom they have not reached new contracts.
The daylong vote by members of Local 54 of the Unite Here union is likely to ratchet up pressure on the casinos to reach new pacts with the union, particularly with the crucial July 4 holiday weekend approaching.
Contracts expired over two weeks ago and talks have yet to reach a new deal.
A “yes” vote will not result in an immediate strike. It simply gives the union’s negotiating committee, comprised of workers from all nine casinos, the power to call a strike if and when they see fit.
The union says it is seeking “significant” wage increases in the next contract to help workers deal with financial setbacks caused by the coronavirus pandemic and rapidly rising prices.
The labor dispute comes at an uncertain time in Atlantic City: The casinos and their online partners are collectively making more money now than before the pandemic hit.
But the casinos say those statistics are misleading because they get to keep only about 30% of online and sports betting money, with the rest going to their third-party partners. They say that in-person revenue won from gamblers is the crucial metric, and not all the casinos have surpassed their pre-pandemic levels.
The union went on strike in 2004 for 34 days, and walked out against the former Trump Taj Mahal casino in July 2016, which ended with the casino shutting down in October of that year. It has since reopened under different ownership as the Hard Rock.
So far, the union has secured agreements with the Ocean Casino Resort and Bally’s to honor the terms of contracts eventually reached with some of the larger casino companies in town, but no contracts have yet been agreed upon.
Voting will take place from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Union leadership will announce the result of the vote Wednesday evening after balloting ends.

Federal judge throws out bribery, fraud charges against former New York lieutenant governor
By Kara Scannell and Michelle Watson, CNN
A federal judge has thrown out bribery and fraud charges against former New York Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin, saying the prosecutors did not allege a sufficient quid pro quo.
Benjamin, a Democrat, has had three of the five charges against him dismissed, a court filing and docket shows. Benjamin was initially charged with bribery, honest services wire fraud and conspiracy to commit those two crimes. He was also charged with falsification of records relating to contributions to his Senate campaign and falsification of records relating to an executive appointment questionnaire, according to a Monday court filing.
Of those five charges, the first three have been dismissed, according to court documents.
“Today’s decision shows how these wrongful charges so harmed Mr. Benjamin and unfairly cost him his position as Lt. Governor. The dismissal of this now discredited bribery theory also makes clear how the indictment was a direct assault on the democratic process,” Benjamin’s defense attorney said in a statement.
A spokesman for the US attorney’s office in Manhattan declined to comment on the ruling. CNN has reached out to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office.
Benjamin was appointed to his position by Hochul after she took over the state’s top job from Andrew Cuomo following his resignation last summer. Benjamin resigned in April after being arrested and indicted on charges in connection with his alleged participation in a scheme to obtain campaign contributions in exchange for securing a state grant.
“Benjamin solicited and received campaign contributions from New York real estate developer Gerald Migdol and, in exchange for those contributions, allocated $50,000 in state funds to Migdol’s nonprofit organization in Harlem,” the filing said. “Benjamin has moved to dismiss the Indictment on the ground that the government has not met the heightened legal standard for bribery and fraud charges in the particular context of a public official’s fundraising for a political campaign.”
CNN has reached out to Migdol for comment.
In a motion to dismiss, Benjamin argued, “to be unlawful, an alleged agreement to exchange campaign contributions for official action must be explicit: not inferred from ambiguous statements or a chronology of events, but explicit, meaning actually, clearly, and unambiguously expressed by the parties,” according to the Monday filing.
The motion to dismiss charges one through three was granted, according to Judge J. Paul Oetken who signed the Monday court filing.
The court concluded, “that the Indictment fails to allege an explicit quid pro quo, which is an essential element of the bribery and honest services wire fraud charges brought against Benjamin.”
“As a result, defendants motion to dismiss is granted as to the first three counts,” the filing said. “The Indictment is sufficient, however, with respect to the falsification-of records charges in the fourth and fifth counts, as to which the motion to dismiss is denied.”

BERLIN (AP) — Inflation in Germany eased slightly in June compared to the previous month, in part due to new subsidies that helped rein in the price of gasoline and public transport.
Official figures released Wednesday show inflation hit 7.6% this month, down from 7.9% in May, which was the highest since the early 1970s.
Germany temporarily lowered taxes on diesel fuel and gasoline at the start of the month and introduced an ultra-cheap ticket that allows people to use all local and regional public transportation for 9 euros (less than $10) a month. The measures are due to last for three months.
Like elsewhere across the world, inflation in Germany has been stoked by the war in Ukraine, which has led to a rise in energy costs and food prices. | 2022-06-29T14:46:06+00:00 | seattletimes.com | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/fuel-transport-subsidies-help-keep-german-inflation-at-7-6/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all |

The top 125 in the FedEx Cup after this week advance to the postseason and have full cards for next season. … While the field is missing the top players who face three FedEx Cup playoff events, it has attracted Will Zalatoris (14) and Billy Horschel (15). They are among 12 players from the top 50 in the world. … Scottie Scheffler already has wrapped up the $4 million bonus from the Comcast Business Tour 10 that pays the top 10 from the regular season. … Joohyung “Tom” Kim is in the field after taking up special temporary membership. The 20-year-old from South Korea is up to No. 34 in the world ranking and is assured a full card next year. … Austin Smotherman is holding down the 125th spot. He is 11 points ahead of Max McGreevy. … Chesson Hadley is on the bubble for the third straight year. He was No. 130 in 2020 and didn’t advance. He was No. 132 last year and tied for 15th to reach No. 125. This year he goes in at No. 122 (not counting LIV-suspended players).
Next week: FedEx St. Jude Championship.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Jan. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Shoreline Equity Partners, LLC ("Shoreline" or the "Firm"), a purpose-driven lower middle market private equity firm, today announced the close of its second private equity fund, Shoreline Equity Partners Fund II, L.P. ("SEP II"). Shoreline began fundraising in October with an initial target of $400 million of limited partner commitments and received significant support from its existing investor base. With increased support from existing investors, significant commitments from the Firm's executive network and strong interest from new investors, SEP II was oversubscribed and quickly reached its limited partner hard cap of $450 million. In addition, the professionals at Shoreline provided a meaningful incremental capital commitment to support the fund.
Since Shoreline's launch in March 2019, the Firm has invested in seven platforms and completed over 25 add-ons. The Firm focuses on working with leading management teams of lower middle market companies with EBITDA typically ranging between $5 million and $25 million. To support the growth in SEP II, Shoreline has hired an additional four professionals to enable the team to stay focused while deploying capital across the lower end of the middle market.
"We are very grateful to all of our limited partners for their continued support as well as the hard work put in by our growing team at Shoreline," said Mike Hand, Managing Partner. "We do not take lightly the trust our blue-chip partners have placed in us in an incredibly difficult fundraising environment. The overwhelming interest in SEP II further solidifies the value in our approach and strength of the team we have built."
Shoreline had strong support across its diversified limited partner base comprised of insurance companies, fund of funds, pension and retirement funds, family offices and high net worth individuals. Shoreline's general partners and its executive network also contributed significant capital to the fund.
"Since inception, Mike and I have been focused on building a diverse base of limited partners with a variety of investment experiences. We believe that the ability to leverage the collective experiences across our investor base offers tremendous value," said Peter Franz, Partner. "We take pride in the relationships we have cultivated over many years with each of our investors who continue to support Shoreline's investment strategy."
M2O Private Fund Advisors LLC acted as the exclusive placement agent, and Ropes & Gray LLP provided legal counsel to Shoreline.
Shoreline is a lower middle market private equity firm focused on actively partnering with leading management teams. Shoreline follows a total stakeholder model, meaning success should be a "win-win" proposition for shareholders, employees, customers, vendors, and the communities within which the Firm's companies operate. Shoreline professionals believe in honesty, incentive alignment, and creating bigger, better businesses without relying on financial engineering or cost cutting to generate returns. With over $750 million of committed capital under management, Shoreline seeks to lead equity investments of up to $150 million per transaction in support of buyouts, recapitalizations, and corporate divestitures. Targeted businesses have enterprise values ranging from $50 million to $350 million and EBITDA of $5 million to $25 million. The Firm strives to partner with management teams of businesses primarily within value-added distribution, business and facility services, and specialized manufacturing, among other sectors.

A bipartisan group of 43 House lawmakers sent a letter to the U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) on Tuesday urging the sporting body to comply with an ongoing investigation into a culture of abuse in the women’s soccer league and reform its practices and rules to create a safer environment.
The congressional group, led by Rep. Deborah Ross (D-N.C.), said that some witnesses declined to participate in a previous probe commissioned by the USSF.
That investigation was led by King & Spalding’s Sally Yates, a former deputy attorney general who released a bombshell report last month highlighting rampant abuse in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL). Yates said the report was somewhat limited by noncomplying witnesses.
In Tuesday’s letter to USSF President Cindy Cone, lawmakers pushed the group to comply with a separate probe from the NWSL and the league’s player’s association.
“Until individuals experiencing abuse feel comfortable coming forward with complaints or concerns to those in positions of authority, the systemic misconduct described in the report will continue,” the report reads. “Only receptiveness to institutional flaws will lead to institutional improvement.”
King & Spalding’s 319-page report revealed emotional abuse and sexual misconduct was “rooted in a deeper culture in women’s soccer, beginning in youth leagues, that normalizes verbally abusive coaching and blurs boundaries between coaches and players.”
Yates recommended several options to reform the league, including designating an individual in each organization responsible for player safety and requiring teams to disclose misconduct to the USSF and NWSL.
Immediately after the report was made public, Cone called the news “heartbreaking and deeply troubling” and promised changes would be coming to the organization.
“We are taking the immediate action that we can today, and will convene leaders in soccer at all levels across the country to collaborate on the recommendations so we can create meaningful, long-lasting change throughout the soccer ecosystem,” she said in a statement last month.
Questions about the culture in women’s soccer arose last fall, when North Carolina Courage coach Paul Riley was accused of sexually coercing players since 2010 and Washington Spirit coach Richie Burke was accused of verbally and emotionally abusing players.
Both coaches were fired, and the USSF commissioned King & Spalding to conduct an independent investigation. The Yates report shone a spotlight on abusive practices from two additional coaches.
The letter Tuesday from House lawmakers argued that the “sport and the league are clearly in need of systemic reform.”
The congressional group requested that the USSF lay out a timeline for when the recommendations outlined in the Yates report would be implemented.
“It is obviously unacceptable that players have been subjected to this level of systemic abuse in
professional women’s soccer. These exceptional athletes have the right to practice and play the sport they love without threats, coercion, or abuse,” the letter reads. “The investigation is an important step forward in ensuring women athletes have the protections they deserve, but the work does not stop here.” | 2022-11-01T19:51:17+00:00 | fox59.com | https://fox59.com/hill-politics/more-than-40-lawmakers-urge-u-s-soccer-to-comply-with-investigation-into-culture-of-abuse/ |
KYIV (AP) — Seven Russian rockets slammed into residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia before dawn Thursday, killing two people and trapping at least five in the city close to Europe's biggest nuclear power plant, the governor of the mostly Russian-occupied region said.
The strikes came just hours after Ukraine's president announced that the country's military had retaken three more villages in one of the regions illegally annexed by Russia.
Governor Oleksandr Starukh wrote on his Telegram channel that many people were rescued from the multi-story buildings, including a 3-year-old girl who was taken to a hospital for treatment.
Zaporizhzhia is one of four regions that Russian President Vladimir Putin annexed in violation of international laws on Wednesday, and is home to a nuclear plant that is under Russian occupation. The city of the same name remains under Ukrainian control.
The head of the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog is expected to visit Kyiv this week to discuss the situation at the Zaporizhzhia facility after Putin signed a decree Wednesday declaring that Russia was taking over the six-reactor plant. Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry called it a criminal act and said it considered Putin’s decree “null and void.” The state nuclear operator, Energoatom, said it would continue to operate the plant.
Rafael Grossi, the director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, plans to talk with Ukrainian officials about the Russian move. He will also discuss efforts to set up a secure protection zone around the facility, which has been damaged in the fighting and seen staff including its director abducted by Russian troops.
Grossi will travel to Moscow for talks with Russian officials after a stop in Kyiv.
Meanwhile, leaders from more than 40 countries are meeting in Prague on Thursday to launch a "European Political Community" aimed at boosting security and prosperity across the continent, a day after the Kremlin held the door open for further land grabs in Ukraine.
Speaking in a conference call with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that “certain territories will be reclaimed, and we will keep consulting residents who would be eager to embrace Russia.”
Peskov did not specify which additional Ukrainian territories Moscow is eyeing, and he wouldn’t say if the Kremlin planned to organize more of the “referendums” in Ukraine that the Ukrainian government and the West have dismissed as illegitimate.
The precise borders of the areas Moscow is claiming remain unclear, but Putin has vowed to defend Russia’s territory — including the annexed regions — with any means at his military’s disposal, including nuclear weapons.
In his nightly video address Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the Ukrainian army recaptured three more villages in the Kherson region. Novovoskrysenske, Novohryhorivka, and Petropavlivka are all situated northeast of Kherson.
Ukrainian forces are seizing back villages in Kherson in humiliating battlefield defeats for Russian forces that have badly dented the image of a powerful Russian military and added to the tensions surrounding an ill-planned mobilization. They have also fueled fighting among Kremlin insiders and left Putin increasingly cornered.
On Wednesday, the Ukrainian military said the Ukrainian flag had been raised above seven Kherson region villages previously occupied by the Russians. The closest of the liberated villages to the city of Kherson is Davydiv Brid, some 100 kilometers (60 miles) away.
The deputy head of the Ukrainian regional government, Yurii Sobolevskyi, said military hospitals were full of wounded Russian soldiers and that Russian military medics lacked supplies. Once they are stabilized, Russian soldiers are being sent to Crimea, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014.
When Russian troops pulled back from the Donetsk city of Lyman over the weekend, they retreated so rapidly that they left behind the bodies of their comrades. Some were still lying by the side of the road leading into the city on Wednesday.
Lyman sustained heavy damage both during the occupation and as Ukrainian soldiers fought to retake it. Mykola, a 71-year-old man who gave only his first name, was among about 100 residents who lined up for aid on Wednesday.
“We want the war to come to an end, the pharmacy and shops and hospitals to start working as they used to,” he said. “Now we don’t have anything yet. Everything is destroyed and pillaged, a complete disaster.”
In his nightly address, a defiant Zelenskyy switched to speaking Russian to tell the Moscow leadership that it has already lost the war that it launched Feb. 24.
“You have lost because even now, on the 224th day of full-scale war, you have to explain to your society why this is all necessary.”
He said Ukrainians know what they are fighting for.
“And more and more citizens of Russia are realizing that they must die simply because one person does not want to end the war,” Zelenskyy said.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — One million pills containing fentanyl were seized during a raid near Los Angeles this month in what the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration called largest bust of its kind in California.
The pills were found when agents served a search warrant July 5 at a home in Inglewood that investigators believe was a stash house with links to Sinaloa cartel traffickers, the DEA said in a statement Thursday.
“This massive seizure disrupted the flow of dangerous amounts of fentanyl into our streets and probably saved many lives,” DEA special agent Bill Bodner said in the statement.
The pills have an estimated street value of $15 to $20 million dollars, officials said. | 2022-07-15T12:20:14+00:00 | wjhl.com | https://www.wjhl.com/news/national/1-million-pills-with-fentanyl-seized-in-record-bust-near-la/ |

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — General Motors says it will spend $760 million to renovate its transmission factory in Toledo, Ohio, so it can build drive lines for electric vehicles.
It’s the first GM engine or transmission plant to begin the long transition from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles. The company has a goal of making only electric passenger vehicles by 2035.
The move will keep the jobs of about 1,500 hourly and salaried workers at the Toledo plant, which now makes four transmissions used in pickup trucks and many other GM internal combustion vehicles. No new hiring is expected.
“This investment helps build job security for our Toledo team for years to come, and is the next step on our journey to an all-electric future,” Gerald Johnson, executive vice president of global manufacturing for GM, said in a statement Friday.
It’s good news for the workers in Toledo, who have been worried about the future of their plant. GM employs about 10,000 workers at engine and transmission factories across the U.S., and their futures are uncertain as the switch to electric vehicles picks up momentum.
“This is great news for our individual plant because we’re going to get a new product,” said worker Kim Hunter Jones of Adrian, Michigan. But she’s concerned about workers at other GM engine and transmission plants that don’t yet have assurances that they’ll build electric vehicle components.
GM says the factory will continue to make transmissions for internal combustion vehicles, along with electric drive units. Eventually the plant will make only EV components, but when that happens depends on sales.
Renovation work on the plant will begin this month.
Electric drive units take power from the batteries and convert it to motion at the wheels, GM said.
The 2.8 million-square-foot Toledo plant, built in 1956, will make drive units for future electric trucks including the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups, along with GMC Hummer EVs.
GM CEO Mary Barra has pledged to unseat Tesla as the top seller of EVs by the middle of this decade.

CHICAGO — Two people who wish to remain anonymous have claimed a $1.337 billion Mega Millions jackpot after a single ticket to the late July drawing was sold in a Chicago suburb, opting to take a lump sum payment of $780.5 million, lottery officials said Wednesday.
The Illinois Lottery said the prize for the July 29 drawing, which was the nation's third-largest lottery prize, was claimed by two individuals who had agreed to split the prize if they won. The two, who followed the lead of the vast majority of winners who choose to remain anonymous, had until Sept. 27 to opt in favor of the lump sum payment, said Emilia Mazur, spokeswoman for Camelot Illinois, the private manager of the Illinois Lottery.
The Illinois Lottery said it was unable to share any information about the winners except to say that they must be absolutely "over the moon" with their Mega Millions win. Illinois is one of at least 16 states where winners can remain anonymous.
Lottery officials said the two people have spent the past few weeks working with professional legal and financial advisors to support the claim process — something experts recommend lottery winners do.
"These winners are now in the enviable position of deciding what to do with their newfound fortune," said Illinois Lottery Director Harold Mays.
According to megamillions.com, one jackpot-winning ticket was bought at a Speedway gas station and convenience store in Des Plaines.
The winning numbers were: 13-36-45-57-67, Mega Ball: 14.
The jackpot grew so large because no one had matched the game's six selected numbers since April 15. That's 29 consecutive draws without a jackpot winner. Because nobody has won the Mega Millions jackpot since the July 29 drawing, the jackpot now stands at an estimated $301 million.

ABOARD A U.S. MILITARY AIRCRAFT (AP) — Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said he wants to keep the military’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate in place to protect the health of the troops, as Republican governors and lawmakers press to rescind it.
This past week more than 20 Republican governors sent a letter to President Joe Biden asking that the administration remove the mandate, saying it has hurt the U.S. National Guard’s ability to recruit troops. Those troops are activated by governors to respond to natural disasters or unrest.
Congress may consider legislation this coming week to end the mandate as a requirement to gather enough support to pass this years’ defense budget, which is already two months late.
Austin said he would not comment on pressure from the Hill.
“We lost a million people to this virus,” Austin told reporters traveling with him Saturday. “A million people died in the United States of America. We lost hundreds in DOD. So this mandate has kept people healthy.”
“I’m the guy” who ordered the military to require the vaccine, Austin added. “I support continuation of vaccinating the troops.”
Last year Austin directed that all troops get the vaccine or face potential expulsion from the military; thousands of active duty forces have been discharged since then for their refusal to get the shots. | 2022-12-04T11:53:22+00:00 | cbs4indy.com | https://cbs4indy.com/news/politics/ap-politics/ap-keep-covid-military-vaccine-mandate-defense-chief-says/ |

Florida was the first team to clinch a spot in the College World Series, Wake Forest moved within a win of becoming the first No. 1 national seed to make the final eight of the NCAA Tournament since 2018 and Virginia forced a winner-take-all game in its super regional.
Texas capitalized on Stanford mistakes in the ninth inning to win the opener of its best-of-three series and stay on track for a third straight CWS.
The No. 2 Gators got a career-best performance from Hurston Waldrep and finished a two-game sweep of Southeastern Conference rival South Carolina with a 4-0 win Saturday. They'll make their 13th appearance in the CWS — which begins Friday in Omaha, Nebraska — and eighth in 16 seasons under Kevin O'Sullivan.
Wake Forest opened its best-of-three super regional with a 5-4 win over Alabama and can lock up its first CWS bid with another victory Sunday. There hasn't been a top national seed in Omaha since Florida in 2018.
Virginia set a school super regional record for runs in a 14-4 victory over Duke to even the series.
Super regional games Saturday night: Kentucky at LSU, Indiana State at TCU and Oral Roberts at Oregon.
Southern Mississippi led Tennessee 4-0 in the fifth inning when the game was suspended because of rain in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The game will resume Sunday morning and be followed by Game 2.
Waldrep allowed three hits and struck out 13 in a career-high eight innings for Florida, which had been swept in a three-game series at South Carolina in April and staved of elimination three times in last week’s regionals.
Colby Halter drove in three runs, the first two on a double that opened the scoring in the second inning, and Josh Rivera went 3 for 4 with an RBI.
Projected top-10 overall draft pick Rhett Lowder went 6 1/3 innings for his nation-leading 15th win for Wake Forest and Sean Sullivan struck out seven of the 10 batters he faced. Tommy Hawke, Danny Corona and Justin Johnson homered for the Demon Deacons.
The Deacons now must clear one more obstacle to become the first Wake Forest team to go to Omaha since the one that won the national championship in 1955. Since 1962, they've lost seven straight games that sent the winner to the CWS. Saturday's win gives them two chances, if necessary, to get the one they need.
Jake Gelof hit his Virginia single season-record 23rd home run and three of his teammates also went deep in the win over Duke. Connelly Early struck out eight over seven innings to earn his 12th win, the most by a Virginia pitcher in 12 years.
A miscommunication in the outfield set the stage for Texas’ 7-5 victory at Stanford.
Down three runs, the Longhorns loaded the bases in the ninth on two walks and a hit batter. On Mitchell Daly’s fly ball, center fielder Eddie Park looked as if he would make the catch, but he peeled off just as right fielder Saborn Campbell moved in. The ball glanced off Campbell’s glove, two runs scored, and Porter Brown followed with a single for the go-ahead runs.
MEDICAL DELAY
The start of the Alabama-Wake Forest game was pushed back 2 hours, 15 minutes because of what was described as a “non-game-related medical event.” The event occurred before the stadium gates were scheduled to open, and fans were not allowed inside until an all-clear was issued.
AROUND THE HORN
Of Wake Forest's 51 wins, only three have been by one run. ... Florida has won eight straight games in the super regional round. ... Florida's Waldrep, a transfer from Southern Mississippi, has allowed one run and eight hits over 15 innings in two NCAA Tournament starts, with 25 strikeouts and four walks. ... Virginia's Gelof drove in four runs to set the school career RBI record (184). ... Stanford enters Sunday’s game having won 12 straight elimination games at home in regionals or super regionals.

Long-time Oklahoma football assistant coach Cale Gundy has resigned from the Sooner coaching staff.
Gundy tweeted his reason for resigning on Sunday evening, saying he inadvertently said a word he was reading off a players’ iPad as the player was taking notes during a film session.
Gundy apologized in the tweet, and said he did not want to be a distraction to the team, so he’s stepping down immediately.
Shortly after Gundy’s tweet, OU’s football Twitter account tweeted a statement from head coach Brent Venables, accepting Gundy’s resignation.
Gundy came to OU in 1990 as a highly recruited quarterback out of Midwest City, the younger brother of Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy.
After his playing career ended in 1993, he was a graduate assistant for the Sooners in 1994, then spent three seasons as an assistant coach at UAB, before returning to OU to join Bob Stoops’ staff in 1999.
He’s OU’s all-time wins leader in combined wins as a player and coach with 266 wins.

WASHINGTON, May 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Two NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station will conduct a pair of spacewalks Friday, June 9, and Thursday, June 15, to install two new solar arrays.
NASA will discuss the upcoming spacewalks during a news conference at 12 p.m. EDT Thursday, June 1. Live coverage of the news conference and spacewalks will air on NASA Television, the NASA app, and the agency's website.
News conference participants are:
- Dina Contella, operations integration manager, International Space Station Program, NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston
- Diane Dailey, spacewalk flight director, NASA Johnson
- Megan Shutilka, spacewalk officer, NASA Johnson
U.S. media interested in participating in person must contact the Johnson newsroom no later than 11 a.m., Wednesday, May 31, by calling 281-483-5111 or emailing jsccommu@mail.nasa.gov. To ask questions, reporters must dial into the news conference no later than 11:45 a.m., June 1. Questions also may be submitted on social media using #AskNASA.
Each spacewalk is scheduled to begin at 9:15 a.m. and last about six-and-a-half hours with NASA coverage beginning at 7:45 a.m.
On June 9, NASA astronauts Steve Bowen and Woody Hoburg will exit the station's Quest airlock to install an upgraded IROSA (International Space Station Roll-Out Solar Array) on the 1A power channel on the starboard truss of the station.
Bowen will serve as extravehicular activity (EVA) crew member 1 and will wear a suit with red stripes. Hoburg will serve as extravehicular crew member 2 and will wear an unmarked suit. U.S. EVA 87 will be the ninth spacewalk for Bowen and the first for Hoburg.
On June 15, the same pair of astronauts will install an IROSA on the 1B power channel on the starboard truss. Assignments for U.S. EVA 88 will be determined at a later date.
The spacewalks will see the fifth and sixth IROSAs mounted to the existing station solar arrays. The new arrays are 60 feet long by 20 feet wide (18.2 meters by 6 meters) and will shade a little more than half of the original arrays, which are 112 feet long by 39 feet wide. The seventh and eighth IROSAs will be installed on future spacewalks. Each new IROSA will produce more than 20 kilowatts of electricity, and once all eight are installed, will enable a 30% increase in power production over the station's current arrays.

Program Designed to Foster Connection to Ireland and Bolster Career Development
PORTLAND, Maine, April 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The African American Irish Diaspora Network (AAIDN) and the Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE) have partnered to launch the AAIDN/CIEE Intern Scholars in Ireland Program for African American college students.
Nearly forty percent of African Americans have Irish ancestry, according to some researchers, and African Americans share many other cultural, historic and social justice affinities with Ireland. Beginning in 2023, the AAIDN/CIEE Intern Scholars in Ireland Program will provide a life-changing opportunity for Scholars to explore their heritage, provide international business experience, and polish tangible work skills that will aid them in their future career.
In this inaugural year of the program, three exceptional African American college students will attend CIEE's Summer Global Internship in Dublin program that includes an eight-week work placement, housing, and a three credit academic course. During the students' eight-weeks in Ireland, CIEE will provide the academic and work experience for each intern, while AAIDN will provide each student with a stipend to offset travel and living expenses.
The students selected for the first cohort of AAIDN/CIEE Intern Scholars in Ireland are:
- Benedict College: Mia Douglas ('24), Mass Communication and Media Studies
- Delaware State University: Dapria Fell ('26), Mass Communication and Media Studies
- Sacred Heart University: Jayla Vyent ('25), Psychology
"We are honored to partner with AAIDN to help build bridges between African American and Irish communities through people-to-people exchange," said James P. Pellow, Ed.D., president and CEO of CIEE. "The AAIDN Internships in Ireland program will allow African American college students to prepare for the global job market, develop intercultural communication skills, and embrace Ireland's well-known hospitality, rich culture and natural beauty."
Dennis Brownlee, founder and chairman of AAIDN, stated: "We are delighted to work with CIEE to offer this transformative international learning and career development opportunity in Ireland to a group of outstanding students. These are the kinds of experiences that will help broaden their perspectives and advance their careers."
The AAIDN/CIEE Intern Scholars will be encouraged to share reflections of their time in Ireland through written blogs and weekly posts on social media. They will serve as mentors for the next class of AAIDN Intern Scholars, thereby extending the African American Irish family network to future decedents of Africa and Ireland.

The Detroit Tigers need to generate some excitement after two brutal months. The addition of outfielder Riley Greene could be the spark they need.
Greene, MLB Pipeline’s second-ranked prospect, will make his major league debut on Saturday afternoon in the third game of a four-game series against the Texas Rangers.
Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows was placed on the COVID-19 injured list, giving Greene a chance to energize the lowest-scoring team in the majors.
“We’re certainly excited to have him debut at home,” said manager A.J. Hinch, whose team carries a six-game losing streak into the contest. “It was just a matter of days before he was going to be called up. It just happened to line up, but unfortunately, we lose Austin in the process.”
Greene was expected to make the major league team coming out of spring training, but he broke his right foot on a foul ball just before the Tigers broke camp.
He was hitting .274 with one home run in 62 at-bats with Triple-A Toledo prior to the callup. Those numbers are not eye-popping, but Greene also brings a speed threat.
“The wish and hope is always that guys are dominating and tearing up their league, and it makes it obvious that this is their time to come up. But I think he’s competing fine,” Hinch said. “He’s swinging the bat very well, he’s commanding the strike zone, he’s running the bases and stealing bases.”
Right-hander Rony Garcia (0-2, 5.06 ERA) will start for Detroit on Saturday. He gave up four runs on five hits in four-plus innings against the Chicago White Sox in his latest start on Monday.
Garcia has served up a home run in each of his past six appearances, including all four of his starts. He will face Texas for the first time in his career.
Left-hander Taylor Hearn (4-4, 5.37 ERA) will make his 13th start of the season for the Rangers. Hearn has allowed three runs in each of his three June outings. He lasted 5 1/3 innings against the Houston Astros on Monday and wound up with a no-decision.
Hearn faced Detroit three times in relief appearances last July and gave up one run in 4 2/3 innings.
Considering how inept the Tigers’ offense has been, Hearn should be eager to get on the mound. Texas’ 7-0 victory on Friday was the 10th time the Tigers have been shut out this season, the fifth time Detroit was blanked this month.
Rangers pitchers held Detroit batters down in the series opener on Thursday, with Ezequiel Duran’s three-run triple in the ninth winning the game 3-1.
Texas was up 3-0 before the Tigers came to bat on Friday. Jonah Heim had a two-run double in that inning.
“Anything I can do to help this team win and get to the playoffs is all I’m here to do,” he said during a postgame TV interview.
Heim added his eighth home run of the season in the fifth off Detroit starter Tarik Skubal.
“I think it was a little wind-aided, but I’ll take them,” he said. “They all count.”
Texas has won five of its past seven games, including four straight on the road.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A federal judge on Monday again refused to block a North Carolina district attorney from pursuing charges using a specific state law about a 2020 television commercial run by state Attorney General Josh Stein’s campaign.
Campaign lawyers for Stein, a Democrat, have argued that a law targeting allegedly false ads violates free speech rights and is inherently unconstitutional.
But U.S. District Judge Catherine Eagles on Monday declined to temporarily prevent that law from being enforced while the campaign committee and others related to Stein's campaign file an appeal at the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Eagles last week already rejected a request by the campaign and other plaintiffs in a lawsuit to set aside the law while they seek to have the criminal statute struck down.
In a reversal from a July decision, the judge ruled Aug. 9 that Stein’s campaign committee was unlikely to be successful on legal claims that the law addressing false statements against political candidates is unconstitutional on its face.
The lawsuit was filed days before Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman’s office had planned to take the results of an investigation over the ad to a grand jury, according to legal briefs.
Eagles said Monday that while lawyers for Stein's campaign have made a “good argument” in the case, there are other factors that weigh against an injunction.
There's no guarantee that the 4th Circuit will resolve the matter before a two-year window allowed for Freeman to pursue charges expires in October, Eagles wrote. And it's uncertain whether a grand jury will charge anyone with a crime.
“If and when it does, the charged person can raise these constitutional defenses in state court,” she wrote.
Eagles’ rulings put additional legal pressure upon Stein, a potential 2024 governor’s contender, to prevent a situation where people — whether it be Stein or anyone else — face misdemeanor criminal charges. The lawsuit has Stein fighting enforcement of a law, when one of his chief duties as attorney general is to defend state laws in court.
The law, which dates to at least 1931, makes it illegal to knowingly circulate false “derogatory” reports about candidates to harm them at the ballot box.
The district attorney's investigation stems from a September 2020 State Board of Elections complaint filed against Stein’s committee by his then-challenger, Republican Jim O’Neill.
The ad talks about untested rape kits held by local law enforcement agencies, and a woman appearing in the commercial asserts that O’Neill “left 1,500 rape kits sitting on a shelf” in Forsyth County, where he’s been district attorney since 2009.
O’Neill’s campaign argued that the ad was false and subject to the law since police agencies, and not prosecutors, are responsible for testing the kits. Stein narrowly defeated O’Neill in the November 2020 election.
Freeman’s office has pursued prosecution even though the State Board of Elections in May 2021 recommended that the investigation related to the complaint from O’Neill’s committee be closed. The report's author wrote that “ambiguity” in the ad’s language made it “inconclusive” to determine whether a violation of the law occurred.
Stein’s attorneys filed the investigation report with Eagles on Friday after WBTV obtained a copy, saying it was “new information, deliberately withheld" by Freeman and the elections board.
Freeman, a Democrat who has recused herself from the case because of a close working relationship with Stein and O’Neill, defended the decision by a top deputy handling the probe to pursue the investigation despite the board’s suggestion.
That deputy, David Saacks, determined additional investigation was needed after the board completed its work, Freeman told the station. The State Bureau of Investigation was brought in to assist.
The state Democratic Party called on Freeman last week to promptly investigate statements that O’Neill made publicly during the 2020 campaign and it says were false. Similar allegations were made by Stein’s former campaign manager to the state board.
Freeman told The Associated Press last week that her office wouldn’t consider the Democratic Party’s demand because they hadn’t followed normal procedures and filed its own complaint with the board. | 2022-08-15T20:44:14+00:00 | ourmidland.com | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Judge-again-refuses-to-block-use-of-law-in-NC-AG-17374899.php |
(NBC) — Fans have been weighing in on who stays and who goes on “The Voice” for the past few episodes, on Monday, with “Fan Week,” dedicated viewers get to impact the top ten proceedings in an additional way.
Team Camila’s Morgan Myles says her fans knew what they were doing in suggesting her song for Monday’s Top Ten.
“I know it like the back of my hand,” said Myles. “I love it. It’s sexy. It’s groovy.”
But some fans also recommended lane changes for their favorites.
“It’s going to be a different route from the ballads I’ve been singing on the show,” said Parijita Bastola of Team Legend.
“It’s going to take ‘Voice’ fans in a different direction,” said Team Blake’s Bryce Leatherwood.
“I do not know the song,” revealed Omar Jose Cardona of Team Legend. “I know the chorus of the song, so I have to dive in and do my homework.”
The song proposals are part of “Fan Week” on “The Voice” another way for backers of the artists to show their support.
“Someone made cookies of my beanie and my hair and my necklaces, it was so cool,” said Bodie of Team Blake.
“Every day I pinch myself,” said Team Blake’s Rowan Grace. “I can’t believe I have that much support and it means so much to me.”
Monday’s fan-fueled performances could move the artists another step closer to the finale in two weeks.
“I’m going to do everything I can to give back to the fans what they’ve given me every week that I’ve been here,” said Justin Aaron of Team Gwen.
Extending that stay at least another week is the goal for everyone in the Top Ten.
“The Voice” airs Monday and Tuesday at 8 p.m. Monday’s episode is followed at 10 p.m. by a preview of the new “Pitch Perfect” spinoff series “Bumper in Berlin,” which is streaming on Peacock. | 2022-11-28T19:16:30+00:00 | mytwintiers.com | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/entertainment-news-news/the-voice-celebrates-fans-as-field-narrows-to-top-ten/ |
For most people, Italian and sushi are two words that don't naturally go together. Chef David Pasternack is trying to change that, with a dish called crudo, or Italian sashimi.
The dish consists of raw fish dressed with olive oil, sea salt, acidic juices such as lemon or lime and sometimes vinegar.
Pasternack, the chef at New York City's Esca, has been serving crudo at his restaurant for a while, and the dish has grown in popularity around the United States.
"I always say, 'We're copied by many, imitated by few,'" the chef tells Michele Norris about the crudo at Esca — which means "bait" in Italian.
Now, he hopes to encourage people to prepare crudo at home with a new cookbook, The Young Man and the Sea.
Pasternack remembers when he first discovered the dish — on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia — and offers tips on preparing crudo, including finding the freshest fish and the highest-quality salts and olive oils.

New assay brings validated HRD technology from Myriad Genetics to the Illumina TruSight™ Oncology 500, a single, comprehensive pan-cancer test to identify key variants critical for cancer development and progression
SAN DIEGO, June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN), a global leader in DNA sequencing and array-based technologies, today announced the launch of a research test, codeveloped with Merck (known as MSD outside the United States and Canada). The research test builds upon Illumina's commitment to broadly enable comprehensive genomic profiling and enhance research critical to realizing precision medicine in oncology. The test adds assessment of a new genomic signature to the distributed, market leading TruSight™ Oncology 500 assay. It will be available globally, excluding the United States and Japan and will enable researchers to unlock deeper insights about the tumor genome by identifying genetic mutations used in the evaluation of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD).
"HRD status has emerged as an important biomarker in tumors that harbor high levels of DNA damage, such as ovarian, breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancers," said Phil Febbo, MD, chief medical officer at Illumina. "With one sample and one test, TruSight Oncology 500 HRD assay provides labs with comprehensive, accurate, sensitive results that can greatly enhance our understanding of the genomic nature of a tumor."
The Research Use Only TruSight Oncology 500 HRD test is a next-generation sequencing (NGS)–based assay that harnesses the power of Illumina NGS technology and validated HRD technology from Myriad Genetics (NASDAQ: MYGN), enabling labs to accurately detect genomic instability and analyze more than 500 genes simultaneously, including those relevant to HRD status. HRD is a genomic signature used to describe when cells are unable to effectively repair double-stranded DNA breaks. When this occurs, cells rely on alternative, error-prone DNA repair mechanisms, which may lead to genomic instability and, eventually, tumor formation.
The Molecular Pathology Diagnostic Unit at the Technical University of Munich participated in the TSO 500 HRD early access program in order to compare the results of Illumina's prototype TSO 500 HRD assay to a validated reference standard, from Myriad Genetics.
"Our institution is delighted by the release of TruSight Oncology 500 HRD and we are very happy with our results from the early access program," said Nicole Pfarr, head of the Molecular Pathology Diagnostic Unit, Technische Universität München. "We look forward to using this assay routinely in our lab for future projects. Combining HRD assessment with TruSight Oncology 500 in one workflow will unlock the most comprehensive view of the tumor genome, while maintaining efficiency in the lab."
Large-cohort studies show that comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) has the potential to identify relevant genetic alterations in up to 90% of samples. A single, comprehensive assay to assess a wide range of biomarkers uses less sample and returns results more quickly compared to multiple, iterative tests. As a kitted, distributable solution, this test helps to remove barriers for internalization of CGP and HRD testing, so that labs of all sizes can offer this powerful test.
"We are pleased to reach this first milestone with Illumina to commercialize an assay for HRD assessment that will aid in advancing clinical research and broaden access to clinical trials," said Dr. Eric H. Rubin, senior vice president, early-stage development, clinical oncology, Merck Research Laboratories.
The research test is expected to begin shipping globally (excluding the US and Japan) in August. In addition, as part of the partnership announced in September 2021, work is ongoing to develop a new HRD companion diagnostic (CDx) test for the EU and the UK to aid in the identification of ovarian cancer patients with positive HRD status.
This partnership expands on Illumina's broad portfolio of oncology partnerships with industry leaders, with the united goal of advancing cancer diagnostics and precision medicine.
TSO 500 is a Research Use Only pan-cancer assay that enables Comprehensive Genomic Profiling. Designed to identify known and emerging tumor biomarkers across 523 genes, TSO 500 utilizes both DNA and RNA from tumor samples to identify key variants critical for cancer development and progression, such as small DNA variants, fusions, and splice variants. In addition, the assay assesses key immune-oncology biomarkers, such as Tumor Mutational Burden (TMB), Microsatellite Instability (MSI) and Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD). Due to its comprehensive biomarker content, labs can consolidate multiple single-gene or small-panel workflows into a single assay, saving biopsy specimen and time. Click here to learn more.
This release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including the expectation for lower costs related to the storing and managing of genomic data costs. Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements are: (i) challenges inherent in developing and launching new products and services; (ii) our ability to deploy new products, services, and applications, and to expand the markets for our technology platforms; and (iii) the acceptance by customers of our newly launched products, which may or may not meet our and their expectations once deployed, together with other factors detailed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent filings on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, or in information disclosed in public conference calls, the date and time of which are released beforehand.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, July 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO), the global organization dedicated to enabling digital prosperity for all, has released a new whitepaper intended to encourage dialogue and debate around international taxation proposals for the digital economy.
There are currently two main proposals to address the issues of digital taxation, the OECD's BEPS 2.0, and a second proposal from the UN Tax Committee. The DCO's has now whitepaper reviews these proposals to address the issue of digital taxation, and proposes further dialogue on the issue.
DCO Secretary-General Deemah AlYahya commented: "The digital economy has created a fast-moving and changeable business environment, and there is a need for new international taxation rules that can secure transparency, fairness, and long-term sustainable economic growth for all. We believe that there is room for broader multilateral conversations, along with in-depth studies that can help formulate a global taxation solution that will be equitable to all nations. A coordinated global approach to taxing the digital economy could bring benefits to nations in terms of foreign direct investment, economic recovery and poverty reduction."
Manel Bondi, Digital Taxation Director, at DCO, and the author of the whitepaper, added: "For the OECD International Framework (IF), the work done so far is a major and remarkable step towards reframing the international tax regime. However, certain IF members, notably low-and medium-income countries (LMICs), expressed deep concerns about what they consider as 'inequities embedded in the deal'.
"Regarding the UN proposal, it is seen by a large number of IF members, developing countries, as a serious alternative to OECD, being more adapted to their capacities, and better serving their interests... and this position is strengthened by the support of the IMF and the World Bank[i] of the UN proposal from a developing country perspective. DCO's major recommendation for both working groups is to open the debate to all stakeholders, for transparent discussions towards a global consensus," she explained.
To further the dialogue around global digital taxation, the DCO is engaging with the international tax community, DCO member states and other stakeholders, beginning with a webinar to discuss the issues covered in the whitepaper and more.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin has struck down a ballot question referendum from the Citizens for Arkansas Public Education and Students, a group that is hoping to repeal the LEARNS Act.
The Executive Director of CAPES, Steve Grappe, put out a release Monday denouncing the decision.
“We received the Attorney General’s response at 12:58 p.m. today (April 24, 2023), and it is under review. We are disappointed the attorney for the people of Arkansas took 14 calendar days to give us a response,” the release said.
CAPES says that despite the rejection, it is not giving up, and plans to hold rallies across the state on April 27.
“Join hundreds of your fellow Natural State citizens who have already volunteered to help defeat this very harmful legislation,” the release said.
An official opinion from Griffin shows that the ballot referendum was denied because of insufficient, inaccurate and missing summaries, as well as confusing language.
“Your popular name and ballot title suffer from the same problem: the impact of a vote for
or against the measure is unclear to the voter,” the attorney general said. | 2023-04-24T23:34:48+00:00 | nwahomepage.com | https://www.nwahomepage.com/news/learns-act-referendum-rejected-by-attorney-general/ |

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Brook Lopez shot 7 for 9 from 3-point range and scored 29 points as the Milwaukee Bucks beat the skidding Cleveland Cavaliers 113-98 on Wednesday night.
The Cavaliers have lost five straight games since racing to an 8-1 start.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had 16 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists for the Bucks. Jordan Nwora had a season-high 21 points to help the Bucks outscore the Cavaliers 45-20 in bench points.
Lopez was one off his career high in 3-pointers. The 7-footer made eight 3-pointers against Miami on Nov. 11, 2018.
Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland each had 23 points and Evan Mobley added 20 for the Cavaliers.
Mitchell returned after sitting out one game with a strained right ankle, but the Cavaliers played a second straight game without Jarrett Allen due to a non-COVID illness. Without their All-Star center on the floor, the Cavaliers were outrebounded 52-34 and outscored 21-6 in second-chance points.
Milwaukee was missing Jrue Holiday (sprained right ankle), Grayson Allen (sprained right ankle) and Wesley Matthews (strained right hamstring). This is the fourth straight game Holiday has missed.
The Bucks already are without Khris Middleton (wrist), Pat Connaughton (calf) and Joe Ingles (knee), who have yet to make their season debuts.
After trailing for most of the first two quarters, the Bucks grabbed a 61-60 lead at the half before breaking the game open in the third period.
MarJon Beauchamp’s dunk capped an 11-0 run that extended the Bucks’ lead to 77-63 with 7:15 left in the third quarter. The Bucks outscored the Cavaliers 34-18 in that period and led by as many as 20.
Cleveland cut the lead to 100-91 with less than 7 1/2 minutes left in the game, but the Bucks scored the next nine points to seal the victory.
Bobby Portis had 10 points and 11 rebounds for the Bucks. Jevon Carter added 11 points and eight assists.
TIP-INS
Cavaliers: Swingman Dylan Windler will miss about four to six more weeks after undergoing a platelet-rich plasma injection on his sprained right ankle. The ankle injury has caused Windler to play just one game this season. “He had a phenomenal lead-up to camp with us,” coach J.B. Bickerstaff said before the game. “We were expecting really good things for him. I was happy for him that he kind of found that confidence and that swagger and that belief in himself. And then this happens. It’s tough.”
Bucks: Connaughton was listed as probable on the initial injury report, but was held out. The 29-year-old guard hasn’t played this season due to strained right calf. “We don’t want to rush it,” coach Mike Budenholzer said before the game. “Just feel like giving him a little more time was the wisest move.” ... The Bucks went with a super-sized starting lineup that included a frontcourt of the 6-11, Antetokounmpo, the 7-foot Lopez and the 6-11 Portis. ... A.J. Green returned from a nasal fracture to play his second game of the season and first since Oct. 22.
UP NEXT
Cavaliers: Host the Charlotte Hornets on Friday to begin a four-game homestand.
Bucks: At Philadelphia on Wednesday. The Bucks opened the season by winning 90-88 at Philadelphia on Oct. 20.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó on Tuesday said he is not seeking political asylum in the United States and has not ruled out the possibility of running in a presidential primary in his homeland planned for October.
Guaidó spoke to The Associated Press by phone from Miami, where he arrived on a commercial flight that departed Colombia’s capital Monday night, hours after he crossed the border between that country and Venezuela with the intent of meeting with diplomats and other participants of an international conference focused on Venezuela’s political crisis.
“I will have work meetings and obviously also time to assess the security situation among other things,” he said. “I am not requesting political asylum at this time.”
His remarks came after Colombian authorities said he was subject to an administrative process for having crossed the border without getting his passport stamped upon entry. Colombian President Gustavo Petro insisted Guaidó was not deported and traveled to the United States with permission from that country.
Guaidó told the AP the U.S. government intervened when he was threatened with deportation after he crossed the border and intended to take a flight from Cucuta, a Colombian city near the border, to Bogota.
“Basically, there was a threat that this could be grounds for deportation,” he said. “That was via telephone (with) diplomatic officials… It was thanks to the mediation of the United States that in my case I feel that I was not deported.”
He said a U.S. government official handed him the ticket to Miami after Colombian immigration agents escorted him to the airport in Bogota. His wife and two daughters remain in Venezuela, for which he is deeply worried. He said he is exploring “all options” regarding their future.
Guaidó became one of the most recognizable figures of Venezuela’s opposition after the re-election of President Nicolás Maduro in 2018 was deemed a sham by several countries. Guaidó, in his position as head of Venezuela’s National Assembly, declared himself interim president in 2019 with the backing of dozens of nations, including the U.S., and ran a parallel government.
But his popularity has waned since then and opposition lawmakers voted in January to strip him of that role and instead appoint a committee to run that government.
Guaidó has recently been campaigning ahead of a planned October primary in which the opposition intends to choose a single candidate to face off against Maduro in a presidential election next year. On Tuesday, he said the primary “continues to be a very important objective in the short term.”
“At this moment, I have this situation of persecution, and to rule out anything at this moment would simply be to accept the conditions of a dictatorship,” he said in reference to his participation in the primary. “On the contrary, we are fighting for conditions for all.”
Guaidó had recently denounced an increase in threats against him in Venezuela. Until Monday, Guaidó had not left his country since 2020.
Maduro’s government has filed almost three dozen cases against Guaidó since he declared himself interim president. The alleged crimes range from usurpation of functions, corruption, money laundering and public incitement to disobey the law, to conspiracy with foreign governments and terrorism.
Tuesday’s international conference organized by Petro was meant to jumpstart official dialogue between Maduro’s government and his adversaries. The formal negotiations between both sides guided by Norwegian diplomats and hosted by Mexico stalled at the end of last year.
Colombia’s Foreign Minister Álvaro Leyva on Monday said Guaidó was not invited to the conference, which was attended by representatives of the U.S. as well as Latin American and European countries. Guaidó had said he planned sideline meetings with delegates.
Petro and Maduro have said they would seek an end to economic sanctions that the U.S. imposed on Venezuela. At the of the five-hour conference, which was not attended by representatives of Maduro or his adversaries, Leyva read a brief statement in which he said participants agreed it is necessary for Venezuela’s government and opposition parties to set an electoral calendar that ensures free and fair conditions for all involved.
Levya also said participants found consensus around lifting sanctions if there is progress in negotiations.
Venezuela’s complex social, political and economic crisis has driven more than 7 million to migrate, mostly to Latin American and Caribbean countries. The largest share — more than 2 million — live in Colombia, which under the administration of Petro’s predecessor, Iván Duque, offered many of them a variety of benefits, including 10-year permits.
Duque was one of Maduro’s strongest critics and had no diplomatic relations with Venezuela’s government. But Petro, Colombia’s first leftist president, reestablished diplomatic and commercial relations with Venezuela after he was sworn in in August and has met with Maduro four times in person.
Migrants and people who live near the border go from one country to the other every day without getting their passports stamped — both through official crossing bridges and illegal dirt roads — and face no consequences.
Guaidó, who has continuously criticized Petro’s policies toward Maduro, said Monday’s threat of deportation was purely a political move against him.
“A Venezuelan crossing the border looking for food, food, shelter, protection from a dictatorship is not a novelty at all,” he said. “So I believe that this undoubtedly establishes a position on the part of President Petro and his government… If the president wants to be the interlocutor of the dictator, then that will be his role.”
South Florida is home to a large Venezuelan community that began to arrive mainly after Maduro’s predecessor, Hugo Chávez, rose to power in 1999.
From there, Guaidó said, he will keep “fighting to make our vote count.” | 2023-04-26T12:14:31+00:00 | pix11.com | https://pix11.com/ap-international/venezuelas-juan-guaido-not-seeking-political-asylum-in-us/ |

Purdue remained atop The Associated Press Top 25 men’s college basketball poll for a third straight week, while preseason No. 1 North Carolina returned to the rankings and New Mexico cracked the poll for the first time in eight years.
The Boilermakers earned 40 of 60 first-place votes in Monday’s latest poll, while fellow unbeaten Connecticut earned the other 20 to sit at No. 2 in an unchanged top.
Purdue had never been ranked No. 1 before a one-week stay there last December, and was unranked to start the season. But the Boilermakers made a rapid rise from No. 24 to No. 5 in a one-week span in late November, then climbed to No. 1 on Dec. 12.
The Boilermakers’ win against New Orleans last week marked their first home game with that No. 1 ranking.
“We’ve not had any handouts. We’ve had to work for everything,” coach Matt Painter said afterward, adding: “But we’ve earned it. but we’ve got to keep earning it. This isn’t the season. This is just a third of the season.”
THE TOP TIER
No. 3 Houston, No. 4 Kansas and No. 5 Arizona held their positions as the top five remained in place for a second straight week.
Texas was next at No. 6, followed by Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas and Gonzaga — the preseason choice at No. 2 that returned to the top 10 after sliding as low as No. 18 earlier this month.
TAR HEELS RETURN
North Carolina is back in the poll at No. 25 after a tumultuous opening to the season.
Returning four starters from last year’s unexpected run to the NCAA title game, the Tar Heels started December by becoming only the sixth team to go from preseason No. 1 to unranked since at least the 1961-62 season. That came after a run of four straight losses.
But UNC has won four straight since, the past two coming against Big Ten teams — Ohio State on Dec. 17 and Michigan last week — to regroup.
RISING
Miami had the week’s biggest jump after a win against Virginia, climbing eight spots to No. 14 for its highest ranking since the 2017-18 season. No. 20 Auburn rose three spots. In all, 10 teams moved up from last week.
SLIDING
Virginia took the week’s biggest tumble, falling seven spots to No. 13. Mississippi State was close behind, falling six spots to No. 21. Duke was the only other team to slide, falling three spots to No. 17.
STATUS QUO
Seven teams held their positions from last week, with No. 12 Baylor and No. 19 Kentucky joining the unchanged top five.
WELCOME
Xavier and New Mexico are tied at No. 22, while No. 24 West Virginia joined them in new additions to the poll this season. For the Lobos, it marks the first time they’ve cracked the AP Top 25 since March 2014.
FAREWELL (FOR NOW)
Illinois (No. 16), Virginia Tech (No. 21), Marquette (No. 24) and Arizona State (No. 25) fell out from last week’s poll.
CONFERENCE WATCH
The Southeastern Conference led all leagues with six ranked teams, followed by the Big 12 with five and the Atlantic Coast Conference with four.
The Big Ten had three ranked teams while the Pac-12 and Big East each had two. The American Athletic, West Coast and Mountain West conferences each had one.

GRAPHIC: Officer charged with assault after video shows him punching man
WARREN, Mich. (AP) — A suburban Detroit police officer was charged with assault after video showed him punching a young man in the face and slamming his head to the ground at the jail, authorities said Tuesday.
“This is not what we do. This is not who we are,” said William Dwyer, police commissioner in Warren, who played the video for reporters.
The 19-year-old man was being processed at the jail on June 13 after being arrested for multiple felonies. Video shows him and Officer Matthew Rodriguez apparently exchanging words before the officer punched the man, knocked him to the floor and smacked his head on the ground.
Dwyer said other officers immediately intervened and also reported the incident to managers.
Warning: Some viewers may find the video graphic.
Rodriguez was charged with willful neglect of duty and assault, both misdemeanors. A judge set bond at $5,000. It wasn’t known if he has an attorney who could comment on the case.
“No badge or uniform can shield anyone from accountability,” prosecutor Pete Lucido said.
Rodriguez, a Warren officer for 14 years, was placed on leave. Dwyer praised the officers who reported the attack.
“This case does show that the system and our policies do work,” he said. “If it were not for the reporting and review of this incident, we may have never known about it.”

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — A mixed bag for the economy Friday: The national jobs report for showed a decrease in unemployment but stocks tumbled as investors anticipate more aggressive interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve.
Employers added 263,000 jobs to the economy in September, the jobs report showed, though it also showed a slowdown in hiring. President Joe Biden celebrated the report, calling it “the progress we need to see,” and said he remains optimistic about the state of the economy.
“Our job market continues to show resilience,” he said.
White House economist Jared Bernstein said the report was good news for Americans headed into the holidays.
“The idea of going into that with an unemployment rate of 3.5% … that means people should continue to have very ample employment opportunities to bring home paychecks they’re going to need to have a good holiday season,” he said.
E.J. Antoni, an economist with the conservative Heritage Foundation said the administration’s outlook was shortsighted.
“The third quarter of economic growth looks definitely looks like it’s going to be positive, but after that, all bets are off,” he said.
He fears the labor market should shrink in coming months as the Fed continues to raise interest rates to slow inflation.
“That makes borrowing more expensive on everything,” he said. “That means businesses are going to continue to hire fewer people until they ultimately stop hiring and then the layoffs begin.”
Stock indexes dropped sharply Friday, with investors also apparently eying those interest rate hikes, which could be announced when the Fed meets next month.
“What’s good for main street is bad for Wall Street,” Bernstein suggested. “But they’re looking over their shoulder at the Federal Reserve.”
He said the Biden administration supports the Fed’s actions.
“What we have to do on our side is make sure working families stay ahead,” he said. | 2022-10-07T23:32:15+00:00 | wjhl.com | https://www.wjhl.com/news/washington-dc/mixed-economic-signals-unemployment-down-interest-rates-up/ |
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Voters in five states are deciding on Election Day whether to approve recreational marijuana, a move that could signal a major shift toward legalization in even the most conservative parts of the country.
The proposals are on the ballot in Arkansas, Maryland, Missouri, North Dakota and South Dakota and follow moves by President Joe Biden toward decriminalizing marijuana. Biden last month announced he was pardoning thousands of Americans convicted of simple possession of marijuana under federal law.
Advocates of the marijuana initiatives have said Biden's announcement may give a boost to their efforts.
Recreational marijuana is legal in 19 states, and polls have shown opposition to legalization softening. All of the states with recreational marijuana on the ballot, except for Maryland, voted for Trump in the 2020 presidential election.
The five states also currently have legal medical marijuana programs. That includes Arkansas, which in 2016 became the first Bible Belt state to approve medical marijuana. The state's dispensaries opened in 2019, and more than 91,000 patients have cards to legally buy marijuana for medical conditions.
The legalization campaigns have raised about $23 million in the five states, with the vast majority in Arkansas and Missouri. More than 85% of contributions in those two states have come from donors associated with companies holding medical marijuana licenses, according to an Associated Press analysis of the most recent campaign finance reports.
In Arkansas, supporters have been running upbeat ads touting the thousands of jobs they say will be created by the measure. Opponents have run more ominous spots, warning voters to "protect Arkansas from big marijuana."
The initiative has drawn the criticism of traditional legalization opponents as well as some medical marijuana advocates, who say the Arkansas proposal places too many limits and would only benefit a handful of dispensaries. Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson, a former head of the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, has also opposed the measure.
Missouri's proposal would legalize recreational marijuana for adults 21 and older and expunge records of past arrests and convictions for nonviolent marijuana offenses, except for selling to minors or driving under the influence. Maryland's proposal would also make changes in criminal law and create automatic expungements of past marijuana possession convictions.
North Dakota's measure would allow people 21 and older to legally use marijuana at home as well as possess and cultivate restricted amounts of cannabis. It also would establish policies to regulate retail stores, cultivators, and other types of marijuana businesses.
South Dakotans, including a sizable number of Republicans, voted to legalize marijuana possession in 2020, but that law was struck down by the state Supreme Court in part because the proposal was coupled with medical marijuana and hemp. This year, recreational pot is standing by itself as it goes before voters.
In Colorado, where recreational marijuana has been legal for nearly a decade, voters on Tuesday are taking up a proposal that would allow the use of certain psychedelic substances. If approved, it would make Colorado the second state to take such a step.
