LEBANON, Va. – Baseball was at its best on a cool Thursday afternoon at Doc Adams Field.
In a close game between two storied programs, both with state aspirations, it was Lebanon getting by visiting Abingdon 3-1.
The Pioneers suffered a couple of early season losses to Tennessee High but have now won six in a row.
“It feels great to keep the streak going,” said Lebanon centerfielder Zach Hertig. “Hopefully, we can just keep it going.”
Hertig was a sparkplug, as the speedster scored two of Lebanon’s runs, going 2-for-3, and stole two bases.
“I just try to get on base every at-bat,” Hertig said. “If I can get on, I feel comfortable that the people hitting behind me will get me in. Everyone’s beginning to see the ball well, and I think we will just get better and better as the season goes along.”

The Pioneers started Seth Buchanan on the mound. He got in trouble in the first inning. After a strikeout, the Falcons had back-to-back hits. Elijah Parks singled to right and went to third on a hit by Jett Humphreys. Jack Ferguson hit a deep sacrifice fly to Hertig in center to score Parks.
Beckett Dotson added a sharp single that got by the Lebanon leftfielder to put runners at second and third. Buchanan got out of the jam with a strikeout, limiting Abingdon to one run.
“Starting, I was a little worried,” Buchanan said. “I didn’t really have everything working for me. I could tell my fastball was a little slower. I knew Abingdon had a bunch of good hitters, and they would put it in play. I had to trust my defense, and it worked out.”
The Pioneers answered in the bottom of the inning. Hertig singled up the middle. He was actually picked off first but advanced to second when the ball was thrown away. Hertig stole third and tied it on a run-scoring ground out by Chance Parker.
Landon Turman doubled over the right fielder’s head with one out in the second. Buchanan settled in from that point, retiring 11 of the next 13 Abingdon batters.
“It was a good game,” Abingdon coach Mark Francisco said. “I thought Lebanon deserved to win. Buchanan pitched a good game, we barreled up some balls early, but he got in control and commanded it from that point. They played good defense, and we kicked it around a little bit.”
Lebanon (7-2) took the lead in the third. Again, Hertig started it with an infield single and stole second. After a strikeout, Dagan Barton ripped a run-scoring single to left. Parker followed with an RBI double for a 3-1 advantage.
“This is a good win for us today,” first-year Lebanon coach Cody Compton said. “We got a few hits in some key situations. Seth threw a good game, he wasn’t feeling his best, but he kept us in the game, and that’s all I can ask for.”
While Buchanan notched the win, junior Carter Hess came on in the sixth in relief. Hess retired the six batters he faced on 18 pitches to get the save.
The Falcons are scheduled to travel to Union today for a Mountain 7 contest, with the first pitch scheduled for 6 o’clock, weather permitting. The Pioneers’ next game isn’t until next Thursday, when they travel to Abingdon (4-3) for a rematch. | 2023-04-07T06:07:39+00:00 | heraldcourier.com | https://heraldcourier.com/sports/buchanan-hertig-lift-lebanon-past-falcons/article_1991ae32-d4dd-11ed-ab37-93f581018d49.html |
LONDON (AP) — Fewer than half the people in England and Wales consider themselves Christian, according to the most recent census — the first time the country’s official religion has been followed by a minority of the population.
Britain has become less religious — and less white — in the decade since the last census, figures from the 2021 census released Tuesday by the Office for National Statistics revealed.
Some 46.2% of the population of England and Wales described themselves as Christian on the day of the 2021 census, down from 59.3% a decade earlier. The Muslim population grew from 4.9% to 6.5% of the population, while 1.7% identified as Hindu, up from 1.5%.
More than 1 in 3 people — 37% — said they had no religion, up from 25% in 2011.
The other parts of the U.K., Scotland and Northern Ireland, report their census results separately.
Secularism campaigners said the shift should trigger a rethink of the way religion is entrenched in British society. The U.K. has state-funded Church of England schools, Anglican bishops sit in Parliament’s upper chamber, and the monarch is “defender of the faith” and supreme governor of the church.
Andrew Copson, chief executive of the charity Humanists U.K., said “the dramatic growth of the non-religious” had made the U.K. “almost certainly one of the least religious countries on Earth.”
“One of the most striking things about these results is how at odds the population is from the state itself,” he said. “No state in Europe has such a religious set-up as we do in terms of law and public policy, while at the same time having such a non-religious population.”
Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell, one of the most senior clerics in the Church of England, said the data was “not a great surprise,” but was a challenge to Christians to work harder to promote their faith.
“We have left behind the era when many people almost automatically identified as Christian, but other surveys consistently show how the same people still seek spiritual truth and wisdom and a set of values to live by,” he said.
Almost 82% of people in England and Wales identified as white in the census, down from 86% in 2011. Some 9% said they were Asian, 4% Black and 3% from “mixed or multiple” ethnic backgrounds, while 2% identified with another ethnic group. | 2022-11-29T12:36:11+00:00 | upmatters.com | https://www.upmatters.com/news/international/ap-international/ap-census-christians-a-minority-in-england-non-religious-grow/ |

ASMA KHALID, HOST:
Today is Valentine's Day. It's a day for love and delights, roses and chocolate. NPR special correspondent Susan Stamberg will take chocolate any day. And this year, in Los Angeles, she found a museum that salutes her passion. It's at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes in the oldest part of LA, where there's an exhibition of photographs showing vivid, luscious-looking chocolate being prepared.
SUSAN STAMBERG, BYLINE: I have a dear friend who never eats chocolate. He says it makes him short.
Who in the world doesn't like chocolate?
MAITE GOMEZ-REJON: No one.
STAMBERG: Definitive. Then curator Maite Gomez-Rejon reconsiders.
GOMEZ-REJON: Well, actually, I do know a handful of people that don't like chocolate. But that would not be me.
STAMBERG: Same for co-curator Jimenez Martin (ph) and moi. Dark is their preference; Hershey's Kisses mine. Curator Jimenez's is liquid.
JIMENEZ MARTIN: Hot chocolate.
STAMBERG: That's the Mexican way, as drinks, has been for hundreds of years, mostly prepared by women, with dozens of variations, often in celebration.
MARTIN: My favorite story here is, as wedding gifts, the groom's family makes the chocolate paste and offers these wheels of chocolate to the bride as a family coming together.
STAMBERG: The ancient - this is before Starbucks, you understand - would foam their drinks.
GOMEZ-REJON: The foam was the essence of the chocolate, what connected the drinker to the gods. So if it didn't have foam, it was not good. It was a drink reserved for aristocracy and nobility. It was only the very, very wealthy could actually consume it.
STAMBERG: In precolonial Mexico, cacao seeds were actually used as currency. Maite says even when it made its way to Europe, only the rich could afford it.
GOMEZ-REJON: It wasn't until the 19th century that a candy bar was invented in Victorian England that everything changed.
STAMBERG: Queen Victoria was a chocoholic. Europe, then America, added various things to the original bitter drink, sugar, milk, orange, jasmine.
GOMEZ-REJON: We've only been eating chocolate like that for about 200 years.
STAMBERG: How come it took so long to get to Asia?
GOMEZ-REJON: I don't know.
STAMBERG: But she does know how chocolate brings back her childhood.
GOMEZ-REJON: Summers at the beach, my mom used to always buy a little bag of Hershey's Kisses and put them on our pillows every single night. And we would eat them after lunch, when we were watching TV, before going to the beach. Hershey's Kisses has a very special place in my heart.
STAMBERG: In Los Angeles, I'm Susan Stamberg, NPR News.
(SOUNDBITE OF PENGUIN CAFE'S "MORE MILK (BONUS TRACK)")
STAMBERG: At the end, they gave me a chocolate bar. And I'm going to taste it now. It's got a very intense smell. It doesn't smell like Hershey's Kisses at all.
(SOUNDBITE OF PAPER TEARING)
STAMBERG: And I'm opening it. Here we go. This is definitely not milk chocolate. It's somewhere very well situated between milk and dark. It's a good mixture. Happy Valentine's Day, everybody. Go eat some chocolate.
LEILA FADEL, HOST:
Well, I always take Susan Stamberg's advice, especially when the advice is go eat chocolate. So I'm going to find some now. I don't know how I don't have any around me. Asma, are you doing the same?
KHALID: Oh, I can totally give you some because...
FADEL: You have some?
KHALID: I keep it legitimately in my drawer here at the office. Dark chocolate with almonds. There you go.
FADEL: I'm a milk chocolate kind of woman. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR. | 2023-03-08T14:02:32+00:00 | publicradioeast.org | https://www.publicradioeast.org/2023-02-14/since-candy-is-popular-on-valentines-day-lets-find-out-where-chocolate-comes-from |
CAIRO (AP) — Sudanese fleeing the fighting between rival generals in their capital flooded an already overwhelmed city on the Red Sea and Sudan’s northern borders with Egypt, as explosions and gunfire echoed Tuesday in Khartoum.
Many exhausted Sudanese and foreigners arrived in Port Sudan, the country’s main seaport, joining thousands who have waited for days to be evacuated out of the chaos-stricken nation. Others have been driven in packed buses and trucks, seeking shelter in Egypt, Sudan’s northern neighbor.
“Much of the capital has become empty,” said Abdalla al-Fatih, a Khartoum resident, “all (residents of) our street fled the war.”
The fighting, now in its third week, has turned Khartoum and its neighboring city of Omdurman into a battlefield. Fierce clashes taking place inside residential neighborhoods that have become “ghost areas,” residents say.
The conflict, which capped months of worsening tensions, pits the military, led by Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan, against a rival paramilitary group called the Rapid Support Forces, commanded by Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.
Al-Fatih’s family managed to get out of Khartoum over the weekend after they spent the past two weeks trapped in their home in Khartoum’s neighborhood of Kafouri, a major flashpoint since the fighting broke out on April 15.
They arrived in Port Sudan late Monday, after an exhausting 20-hour trip, he said. There, they found thousands, including many women and children, camping outside the port area. Many had been there for more than a week, with no food and other services, he said.
Port Sudan has become a hub for foreign governments to evacuate their citizens by air and sea.
Tariq Abdel-Hameed was one of around 2,000 Syrians camping in Port Sudan waiting to be evacuated by ferries that transport foreigners to Saudi Arabia’s coastal city of Jeddah.
Most of them favored staying at an open area at the port, while others camped in mosques or rented hostels in the city, he said. Only some 200 Syrians have been evacuated since the crisis began, including 35 Friday on a Jeddah-bound vessel, he added.
The Syrian embassy in Sudan announced the start of air evacuation of Syrian citizens from Port Sudan. The first Damascus-bound flight, carrying dozens of patients and elders, is scheduled to take off later Tuesday, he said.
At the congested crossing points with Egypt, thousands of families have waited for days inside buses or sought temporary shelter in the border city of Wadi Halfa to finalize their paperwork to be allowed into Egypt.
Yusuf Abdel-Rahman is a Sudanese university student who crossed into Egypt along his family, through the Ashkit crossing point late Monday. They spent their night at a community hostel in Egypt’s southern city of Aswan, and plan to board a train to Cairo later Tuesday, he said.
Abdel-Rahman’s family went first to the Arqin crossing point over the weekend. It was overcrowded and they couldn’t reach the customs area. They then decided to move to the Ashkit crossing after they heard from people there that the crossing would be easier, he said.
“It’s a chaotic situation (in Arqin),” he said over the phone. “Women, children and patients are stranded in the desert with no food, no water.”
Abdel-Rahman reported widespread destruction and looting particularly in upscale neighborhood in the capital. He said a neighbor told them by phone said armed men in RSF uniform stormed their home in Khartoum’s Amarat neighborhood on Friday, a day after they fled the capital. Many Sudanese have taken to social media to complain that their homes were stormed and looted by armed men.
“We are lucky” that they didn’t at home at the time of storming,” he said. “We could be ended up dead bodies.”
The fighting has displaced at least 334,000 people inside Sudan, and sent tens of thousands more to neighboring countries, including Egypt, Chad, South Sudan, Central African Republic and Ethiopia, according to U.N. agencies.
“Now we’re seeing some extremely fast-moving situations along the borders,” said Paul Dillon, spokesman for the International Organization for Migration, told a news briefing Tuesday in Geneva.
At the Sudanese borders with Ethiopia, he said, between 900 and 1,000 arrive daily at the border with Ethiopia where “there’s a desperate lack of wash services, food, shelter, water, medical assistance.”
At least 20,000 people crossed into Chad, which borders the Darfur city of Genena where clashes last week killed dozens and wounded hundreds.
Aleksandra Roulet-Cimpric, Chad Country Director with the International Rescue Committee, described dire conditions for the arrivals, many of whom — mainly women and children –- have taken shelter under trees in an “extremely hot” weather.
“This leaves them particularly at risk of exploitation and abuse,” she warned.
The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi warned that the number of people fleeing the conflict to neighboring countries could surpass 800,000. “We hope it doesn’t come to that, but if violence doesn’t stop we will see more people forced to flee Sudan seeking safety,” he wrote on Twitter Monday.
Early Tuesday, the sounds of explosions and gunfire echoed though many parts of the capital, with fierce clashes taking place around the military’s headquarters, the international airport and the Republican Palace in Khartoum, residents reported. The military’s warplanes were seen flying overhead across the capital, they said.
The fighting has come despite both sides declared Sunday a second, three-day extension of a humanitarian cease-fire to allow safe corridors for healthcare workers and aid agencies working in the capital.
“The war never stopped,” said Atiya Abdalla Atiya, Secretary of the Doctors’ Syndicate. “Doctors can’s move safely. Hospitals were still occupied.”
Morgues across the capital are overcrowded with dead bodies and people were still unable to collect their dead to bury, he said. Many injured also did not have access to hospitals, he added.
At least 436 civilians have been killed and more than 1,200 injured since the fighting began, according to figures on Monday by the Doctors’ Syndicate, which tracks civilian casualties. As of a week ago, the Sudanese Health Ministry had counted at least 530 people killed, including civilians and combatants, with another 4,500 wounded, but those figures haven’t been updated since.
The truce extension was a result of increasing international pressure on rival generals to stop fighting and engage in negotiation amid worsening humanitarian disaster. Both sides agreed to send representatives for talks potentially in Saudi Arabia, which joined the United States in pressing for cease-fire, according the U.N. envoy in Sudan, Volker Perthes.
The power struggle has derailed Sudan’s efforts to restore its democratic transition, which was derailed in Oct. 2021 when then allied generals, Burhan and Dagalo, removed a western backed transitional government in a coup.

LONDON (AP) — Behind wire fences in southeast England, children wave their arms and chant “freedom” to grab the attention of people on the other side. A young girl throws a bottle with a message inside. “We need your help. Please help us,” the note reads.
The children are among thousands of people being held in dangerously overcrowded conditions at a closed airport serving as a processing center for migrants who recently arrived on British shores after crossing the English Channel in small boats. The situation there has reignited a heated debate about the Conservative U.K. government’s treatment of asylum-seekers.
Located at the site of a former British air force base that had a short life as the civilian Manston Airport, the center in Kent was designed as a short-term processing facility housing about 1,600 newcomers. Up to 4,000 were staying there at one point this week, with some reportedly detained unlawfully for a month or more.
Independent government inspectors said they saw families sleeping on floors in prison-like conditions that presented fire and health hazards. The inspectors warned of the risk of outbreaks after cases of scabies, diphtheria and other conditions were reported.
“Welcome to the U.K,” read a headline in the Metro newspaper, accompanied by a close-up photo of young children gazing out from behind metal fences.
Facing pressure over the situation, U.K. Home Secretary Suella Braverman defended the government’s policies and described the increasing number of migrants arriving via the English Channel as “ an invasion on our southern coast.” Her comment drew widespread condemnation.
The conditions at the center in the village of Manston has put a spotlight on wider problems in Britain’s asylum system, which is struggling to cope with a record number of small boat crossings at a time when border officials are trying to clear a massive backlog of refugee applications.
“We’ve got this kind of perfect storm of more people coming — which the government was warned about — and added to the mix we have this huge waiting list of around 100,000 individuals who have sought asylum,” said Jonathan Ellis, the policy and public affairs lead at Britain’s Refugee Council. “There’s a lack of political will, a lack of political focus, and therefore, (a lack of) the associated resources to really tackle this issue.”
Around 40,000 people from countries that include Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq and Albania have crossed one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes in dinghies and other unseaworthy boats from northern France so far this year, hoping to start new lives in the U.K.
That’s the highest number ever recorded, and it represents an exponential increase from 2018, when only 299 migrants were detected arriving in England in small boats without authorization, official data showed. Last year, there were 28,536.
Dozens of people have lost their lives attempting the passage, including 27 who died when a packed smuggling boat capsized in November 2021.
Braverman, who is known for an uncompromising approach to immigration, has blamed criminal gangs for facilitating the crossings and focused on what she called spurious claims by some of those seeking refuge.
She told lawmakers in Parliament this week to “stop pretending that they are all refugees in distress.” Her harsh language has drawn criticism, including from within the governing Conservative Party. Some critics accuse Braverman of fueling anti-immigration hate.
“The government rhetoric since I arrived has been scapegoating migrants, blaming us for the problems of this country. But it’s gotten a lot worse,” said Hassan Akkad, a documentary maker who fled Syria in 2012 to seek asylum in the U.K.
“When you have a home secretary comparing asylum-seekers to an invading enemy, you are giving a green light to the public to attack them,” added Akkad, who works with refugee charity Choose Love.
The overcrowding at the Manston center reached a breaking point this week after hundreds of people were moved there from another migrant processing center nearby that was hit with gasoline bombs. Police said the man who carried out the Oct. 30 attack and killed himself afterward was likely driven by a “hate-filled grievance.”
Braverman also faced accusations that she blocked hotel bookings for asylum-seekers to ease overcrowding at Manston and ignored legal advice on the matter. She denied the claims.
Critics say government incompetence in managing Britain’s asylum system extend beyond Manston and precede Braverman becoming interior minister in September. The opposition Labour Party said only 4% of asylum claims from small boat arrivals were processed last year, meaning that more than 100,000 people are in limbo waiting for their applications for protection to be considered.
The U.K. is a preferred destination in Europe for migrants who speak English or have family connections in the country. Before the coronavirus pandemic, many tried to cross from northern France by hiding in freight trucks traveling through the Channel Tunnel. COVID-19 travel restrictions and stricter security measures on the route made the hazardous sea journey a more viable way to enter the U.K.
But despite the unprecedented increase in people arriving in small boats, the U.K. receives far fewer asylum-seekers than many other European countries, including France, Germany and Italy. Last year, 48,540 people applied for British asylum, compared to 148,200 applicants in Germany and more than 103,000 in France.
A controversial deal the U.K. government struck with Rwanda in April added to its reputation of not being the most welcoming. The agreement called for deporting some asylum-seekers to the African country, where their claims would be processed and successful applicants would be allowed to stay in Rwanda. The plan was meant to deter people from entering the U.K. illegally, but no one to date has been deported because of legal challenges to the policy.
U.K. authorities have also sought to work with their French counterparts to stop the Channel crossings. The two sides engaged in tense wrangling over the issue last year, but relations appeared to improve after Liz Truss — and her successor Rishi Sunak — became prime minister.
In a call with French President Emmanuel Macron last week, Sunak said the U.K. and France were “committed to deepening our partnership to deter deadly journeys across the Channel that benefit organized criminals.”
Ellis, at the Refugee Council, said authorities ultimately would need to focus less on hostile rhetoric and deterrence and more on safer routes for legitimate asylum seekers to apply for refuge.
“We need to challenge this political rhetoric that people should only come to this country through legal routes,” he said. “Ostensibly that’s reasonable, but for someone who’s fleeing the Horn of Africa, where are they meant to go? What are those safe routes? There is none.”

BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s federal and state leaders agreed Thursday to try to avoid closing schools and child care facilities if there is another surge in coronavirus cases this fall.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz said after meeting with the governors of Germany’s 16 states that the goal would be to prevent “another blanket closure” of schools and kindergartens like what happened during previous waves of the pandemic.
Scholz said while the situation is expected to further ease during the summer months, authorities are preparing for a possible rise in cases this fall.
Germany has seen a steady decline in newly confirmed cases of COVID-19 in recent weeks, but still reported almost 50,000 new infections Thursday.
The country’s disease control agency says it is increasingly recording a new subtype of the omicron variant previously detected in South Africa and Portugal.
The Robert Koch Agency has urged people over 70 to get a second booster shot of the vaccine to prevent serious illness if they contract COVID-19.

Ukraine aid support softens in the US: AP-NORC Poll
By AAMER MADHANI and EMILY SWANSON
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Support among the American public for providing Ukraine weaponry and direct economic assistance has softened as the Russian invasion nears a grim one-year milestone, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
Forty-eight percent say they favor the U.S. providing weapons to Ukraine, with 29% opposed and 22% saying they’re neither in favor nor opposed. In May 2022, less than three months into the war, 60% of U.S. adults said they were in favor of sending Ukraine weapons.
Americans are about evenly divided on sending government funds directly to Ukraine, with 37% in favor and 38% opposed, with 23% saying neither. The signs of diminished support for Ukraine come as President Joe Biden is set to travel to Poland next week to mark the first anniversary of the biggest conflict in Europe since World War II.
“I am sympathetic for Ukraine’s situation and I feel badly for them, but I feel like we need to first take care of priorities here at home,” said Joe Hernandez, 44, of Rocklin, California.
Hernandez, a Republican, added that it’s difficult to support generous U.S. spending on military and economic assistance to Ukraine when many American communities don’t have the resources to deal with the ramifications of migrants crossing into the U.S. at the southern border, a rise in drug overdoses caused by fentanyl and other lab-produced synthetic opioids, and a homelessness crisis in his state.
Biden has repeatedly stated that the United States will help Ukraine “as long as it takes” to repel the Russian invasion that began on Feb. 24 of last year. Privately, administration officials have warned Ukrainian officials that there is a limit to the patience of a narrowly divided Congress — and American public — for the costs of a war with no clear end. Congress approved about $113 billion in economic, humanitarian and military spending in 2022.
The poll shows 19% of Americans have a great deal of confidence in Biden’s ability to handle the situation in Ukraine, while 37% say they have only some confidence and 43% have hardly any.
Views of Biden’s handling of the war divide largely along partisan lines. Among Democrats, 40% say they have a great deal of confidence in Biden to handle the situation, 50% have some confidence and 9% have hardly any. Among Republicans, a large majority (76%) say they have hardly any confidence. Those numbers are largely unchanged since last May.
Janice Fortado, 78, of Ipswich, Massachusetts, said Biden deserves credit for his handling of the war. She agreed with Biden’s hesitance early in the war about sending advanced and offensive weaponry out of concern that it would give Russian President Vladimir Putin a pretext to expand the war beyond Ukraine and spur a larger global conflict.
But as the war has dragged on — and Ukrainian forces have held up against a more formidable Russian military — some of that resistance has melted away. Biden has approved sending light multiple rocket launchers known as HIMARS, Patriot missile systems, Bradley fighting vehicles, Abrams tanks, and more. Biden, however, continues to balk at Ukraine’s request for fighter jets.
“As my opinion evolved, I came to wish we had offered more to Ukraine sooner,” said Fortado, a Democrat, who added that she hopes the U.S. and allies change their mind on the fighter jets. “We seem to have done a drip, drip, drip. I understand why it is they were hesitant, but we are now beyond that point.”
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., before winning the speakership, vowed that Republicans wouldn’t write a “blank check” for Ukraine once they were in charge. And some of the most right-leaning Republicans lashed out at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky over his support of a $1.7 trillion spending bill passed in December that included about $47 billion for Ukraine.
Alex Hoxeng, 37, of Midland, Texas, said he expected Republicans to take a tougher line on Ukraine spending.
“I think Biden isn’t worried enough about inflation,” said Hoxeng, a Republican. “We should just stay out of it. Ukraine is halfway around the world and we have our own problems.”
A majority of Americans, 63%, still favor imposing economic sanctions on Russia, the poll shows, though that too has decreased from the 71% who said that in May 2022.
And 59% say limiting damage to the U.S. economy is more important than effectively sanctioning Russia, even if that means sanctions are less effective. Almost a year ago, in March 2022, the situation was reversed: 55% said it was a bigger priority to sanction Russia effectively, even if it meant damage to the U.S. economy.
Shandi Carter, 51, of Big Spring, Texas, said she’s become frustrated with the global ramifications the war has had on consumers, including volatile gas prices and increasing food costs. Carter, who tends to vote Republican, said she’s been displeased with Biden’s handling of the crisis but doesn’t think Donald Trump would have done any better had he won the 2020 election.
“I just wish it was over. I wish it had never started,” Carter said. “It didn’t matter if there was a Democrat or Republican there. Putin was going to do what he wanted to do.”
Overall, the poll shows that about a quarter of Americans, 26%, now say the U.S. should have a major role in the situation, down from as high as 40% in March 2022. Still, 49% say the U.S. should have a minor role, and just 24% say it should have no role.
Since last March, the percentage of Democrats saying the U.S. should have a major role has dipped slightly from 48% to 40%, while among Republicans it has dropped from 35% to 17%.
Democrats also remain more likely than Republicans to favor imposing economic sanctions on Russia (75% to 60%), accepting refugees from Ukraine (73% to 42%), providing weapons to Ukraine (63% to 39%) and sending government funds to Ukraine (59% to 21%). Support has softened at least slightly among both Democrats and Republicans since last May.
Tom Sadauskas, 68, a political independent from northern Virginia, said he doesn’t believe an end to the war is near. That makes him worried about the direction of American support for a conflict that he believes could have reverberations far beyond Ukraine if Putin is successful.
“I worry that as a country we get easily distracted,” said Sadauskas, who approves of Biden’s handling of the war thus far. “It’s easy to say, ‘It’s a faraway country. That it really doesn’t matter.’ But if Ukraine goes, what is our attitude going to be when Putin decides to move on and threaten one of our smaller neighboring NATO countries?”

MADRID, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Warner Music Spain, in collaboration with Spaceti, WSS, and Utopicus, has launched The Music Station, the world's first creative-musical hub that also enables hybrid and flexible work.
Spaceti, a leading player in PropTech, has collaborated with Warner Music Spain to launch The Music Station, the world's first creative-musical hub based in Madrid at the renovated Príncipe Pío train station, built in 1861. The cooperation between Spaceti and Warner Music Spain started when WMS decided to move to its new Madrid headquarters with the idea to create a new creative co-working environment for Warner Music employees, artists, composers, producers, managers, and creative professionals, providing them a powerful tool to enhance the building and workplace experience while enabling hybrid and flexible work via "The Music Station" app.
"Spaceti proved incredibly quick to engage with and understand our vision and systems requirements. The scope and aspirations of our project have changed immensely over time, but Spaceti has been creative, flexible, and adaptable over the course of the project, working with us step-by-step and often coming up with new suggestions for systems enhancements that could help streamline our internal operations. We look forward to continuing to work with them to enhance The Music Station experience for our employees and artists," said Sergio Méndez, Head of Artists Services & Institutional Relations at Warner Music Spain.
With the help of Spaceti, Warner Music was able to transform its unique Spanish office building into a space that appealed both to employees and the artists working there. The new space in Madrid consists of more than 10,000 square meters (100,000 square feet) of co-working space, recording studios, a café, and even a performance theatre and auditorium. The space houses Warner Music Spain and Warner Chappell Music Spain. The new collaborative and creative environments were achieved by integrating smart building solutions such as:
- A customized "The Music Station" application for Warner Music artists, employees, and the general public to interact with the space.
- Booking Management System (booking desks, parking spots, meeting rooms, rehearsal rooms, studios, and other amenities with specific policies).
- 24/7 Access Control System Integrations.
- Smart Lockers for storing personal items.
- Community events, newsfeeds, and performances.

"The Music Station is a great example of how disruptive innovation and technology can be applied to an existing building. Spaceti's white-labeled mobile app and workplace experience platform responds and adapts to the needs of the specific industry and personalizes the building experience for the different user groups. This allows the building users to create and experience music in a way that blends the physical and digital layers, creating an immersive built environment. This can serve as a model for the future of mixed-use real estate," said Max Verteletskyi, CEO & Cofounder at Spaceti.
Along with Spaceti, the project has seen Warner Music Spain partnering with Utopicus, Workspace Solutions Tech (WSS), and SALTO Systems.

Where to get a $10,000 personal loan
Our goal here at Credible Operations, Inc., NMLS Number 1681276, referred to as "Credible" below, is to give you the tools and confidence you need to improve your finances. Although we do promote products from our partner lenders, all opinions are our own.
Whether you need to consolidate credit card debt, remodel your bathroom or cover another large expense, a personal loan might be a good choice. If you decide to take out a loan — such as a $10,000 personal loan — be sure to carefully consider your lender options to find a loan that best suits your needs.
Here’s what you should know before getting a $10,000 personal loan:
- Where to get a $10,000 personal loan
- What credit score do you need for a $10,000 personal loan?
- What is the monthly payment on a $10K loan?
- Comparing $10K personal loan lenders
- How to apply for a $10K personal loan
- Personal loan FAQs
Where to get a $10,000 personal loan
Here are a few types of lenders that offer $10,000 personal loans:
Online lenders
An online lender is one of the most convenient options when it comes to getting a personal loan. These types of lenders provide both large and small personal loans and often provide competitive rates to borrowers who qualify.
The time to fund for online loans is usually one week or less — though some lenders will fund loans as soon as the same or next business day after approval. This could make online lenders one of the best options if you need a fast personal loan.
Before taking out a personal loan, make sure to consider as many lenders as you can to find the right loan for you. You can compare your prequalified rates from Credible’s partner lenders in the table below in just two minutes.
Banks
You can also get a $10,000 personal loan through a traditional bank, which may have an online presence, local brick-and-mortar branches, or both.
Banks can be a good option if you prefer applying for a loan in-person. Though you might also have the option to apply online, visiting your local branch allows you to ask questions face-to-face and even get personalized underwriting for your unique financial situation.
If you already have an account with a specific bank, you might find it easier to take out a loan or even qualify for a rate discount. You may also be able to link your existing accounts to your new loan to facilitate automatic payments.
Credit unions
Credit unions are similar to banks in that they may have both brick-and-mortar branch locations and an online presence, making it easy to apply in-person or from your computer. The difference is that credit unions typically require membership, so you’ll need to apply and join the credit union before you can take out a new loan.
Memberships may be limited to specific groups of individuals or based on location. In some cases, though, a credit union may open membership to anyone. Because credit unions are not-for-profit organizations, they sometimes offer better rates and terms than banks or online lenders. Once you’re a member, you can apply for personal loans and other financial products.
What credit score do you need for a $10,000 loan?
Your credit score is a major factor when it comes to qualifying for a personal loan. It also impacts the interest rates you might get. Generally, borrowers with good credit — usually a score of 670 or higher — will qualify for lower interest rates compared to borrowers with bad credit.
To get approved for a $10,000 personal loan, you’ll typically need a credit score of 620 or higher — though keep in mind that some lenders are willing to work with borrowers who have scores lower than this. If you have poor credit and can wait to get a personal loan, it might be a good idea to work on building your credit so you can qualify for better rates in the future.
In addition to your credit score, lenders will consider other personal and financial factors when reviewing your application. These include your income, your debt-to-income ratio (DTI), and whether or not you’re applying with a co-borrower. Depending on these factors — and the loan terms you’re requesting — the actual credit score requirement may vary.
What is the monthly payment on a $10K loan?
How much you’ll pay each month on a $10,000 loan depends on two important factors: the interest rate you qualify for and the repayment term you choose.
For example, a $10,000 personal loan at an 8.5% APR would have a $124 monthly payment over a 10-year term. For the same loan over a five-year term, your monthly payment would jump to $205. If that $10,000 loan was instead offered at a 12% APR, your monthly payment obligation would shift to $143 over 10 years or $222 over five years.
The better your credit score, the lower the interest rate you’ll typically snag, which will have a major impact on how much you’ll pay for a $10,000 loan.
Once you’re ready to get a personal loan, spend some time comparing as many lenders as possible to find the right loan for you. You can do this easily with Credible — after filling out a single form, you can see your prequalified rates from each of Credible’s vetted partner lenders.
You can also check out Credible’s personal loan calculator to see how much your loan will cost you each month, what loan term you should choose, and how much you’ll pay in interest over the course of your loan.
Comparing $10K personal loan lenders
It’s important to shop around and compare multiple lenders when looking for the right personal loan. Doing so will help you find a loan with the terms that fit your budget, for the lowest possible cost.
When comparing lenders, here are the factors you’ll want to consider:
- Monthly payment amount: How much will you pay each month for your loan, based on the terms you’re offered and your interest rate? Be sure that this number fits your household budget.
- Repayment term: Your loan’s repayment term is the period of time you have to repay the debt. The longer the term, the lower your monthly payment will be, but you’ll also pay more in interest over time. If you want to repay your loan over a 10-year period but a particular lender only offers terms up to seven years, you’ll want to keep looking.
- Interest rate: The APR on your loan dictates how much you’ll pay in interest over the life of your loan and will even impact your monthly payment requirement. This rate is determined by the loan terms you choose, the specific lender and factors like your personal credit score. The lower your interest rate, the less your loan will cost you — so be sure to shop until you find the lowest possible APR.
- Fees: Outside of interest, there are other costs to watch out for. Possible lender fees include application and origination fees for processing your loan, late fees and returned payment charges, and even early prepayment penalties if you pay off your loan ahead of schedule.
- Funding time: How long will your lender take to get the money to you once your personal loan is approved? In some cases, the money can be in your account the same business day, while other lenders may need up to a week to disburse funds.
Before taking out a personal loan, remember to consider as many lenders as you can. This way, you can find a loan that works for you. Credible makes this easy — you can compare your prequalified rates from multiple lenders that offer $10,000 personal loans in two minutes.
How to apply for a $10,000 personal loan
If you’re ready to get a $10,000 personal loan, follow these three steps:
- Check your credit. Lenders will review your credit to determine how likely you are to repay the loan, as well as what rates and terms to offer you. Before you apply, consider checking your credit so you know where you stand. You can use a site like AnnualCreditReport.com to review your credit reports for free. If you find any errors, dispute them with the appropriate credit bureaus to potentially boost your score.
- Compare lenders and pick a loan option. Be sure to compare as many personal loan lenders as you can to find a loan that suits your needs. Consider not only rates, but also repayment terms and any fees the lender charges. After you’ve done your research, choose the loan option you like best.
- Complete the application and get your funds. Once you’ve chosen a lender, you’ll need to fill out a full application and submit any required documentation, such as pay stubs or tax returns. If you’re approved, the lender will have you sign for the loan so the funds can be released to you. The time to fund for a personal loan is usually about one week — though some lenders will fund loans much faster.
Personal loan FAQs
Here are some answers to a few commonly asked questions regarding personal loans:
What can you use a personal loan for?
You can use a personal loan for pretty much any purpose. The money can be used to take a vacation, refinance student loans, consolidate credit card debt, cover big home renovation projects, make large purchases and much more.
Can you get a personal loan with bad credit?
Yes, several lenders offer $10,000 personal loans to borrowers with bad credit. However, keep in mind that personal loans for bad credit typically come with higher interest rates compared to good credit loans.
If you’re struggling to get approved, another option is applying with a cosigner. Not all lenders allow cosigners on personal loans, but some do. Even if you don’t need a cosigner to qualify, having one could get you a lower interest rate than you’d get on your own.
How fast can you get a personal loan?
How fast you can get a personal loan depends on the type of lender you use. Here are the typical funding times to expect:
- Online lenders: Less than five business days
- Banks and credit unions: One to seven business days
Online lenders are usually the quickest option — many offer approval decisions within minutes, which can help speed up the loan funding time. Some online lenders even offer next-day or same-day loans if you’re approved.
APR vs. interest rate: What’s the difference?
When shopping for a personal loan, you’ll usually be presented with the loan’s annual percentage rate, or APR. This percentage represents your total annual cost for that loan, including charges such as interest and fees. Your interest rate, on the other hand, only represents the cost of borrowing that money, or the interest you’ll pay to your lender.
In many cases, an APR will be higher than an interest rate. But if your loan has no additional fees, these two numbers may be the same.
If you’re ready to shop for a personal loan, remember to compare as many lenders as you can to find the right loan for you. Credible makes this easy — you can compare your prequalified rates from multiple lenders in two minutes. | 2022-12-16T21:25:06+00:00 | fox6now.com | https://www.fox6now.com/money/get-10k-personal-loan-faq |
LONDON (AP) — Steven Knight looks astounded, almost lost for words. He’s just watched contemporary dance company Rambert run through scenes from the first act of their “Peaky Blinders” production, based on the hit TV show that he wrote and created.
Watching the immediate connection between the dancers’ movements and the audience is a revelation for Knight, who has teamed up for a full-length theater dance show that fills in some of the 1920s gangster drama’s backstory.
“I was never into dance. Dance was never a thing for me. I certainly can’t dance myself,” Knight says.
He was so impressed with the power of dance that he wrote a ballet scene into the show’s fifth season.
Recently Knight watched rehearsals of several scenes of the stage show, “Peaky Blinders: The Redemption of Thomas Shelby,” which has its world premiere at the Birmingham Hippodrome on Tuesday before touring around the U.K.
“I want other people to experience what I experience, which is when you see it, it’s like there’s no barrier between you and it,” explains Knight, who wrote the script for the show.
“It’s not like opera, which I’m sure is fantastic, but you don’t need to be literate in opera or to understand or know the story or anything. Just human beings doing what they do to music. And it’s just astonishingly direct.”
Rambert Artistic Director Benoit Swan Pouffer is directing and choreographing the production.
“(Knight) said to me, well, you convey an idea in 30 seconds, and when I do it in the series, it takes me hours to convey that idea. So that’s the power of dance. Dance for me and for everyone. You don’t need to learn the language. It’s the body,” Pouffer says. “We speak internationally, so it doesn’t matter where you’re from. You will understand the story.”
And that goes for people who have never seen “Peaky Blinders.”
“We are starting in a way in World War I, which is not what we see in the series. And that explains why Peaky Blinders, are Peaky Blinders,” he says.
Fans of the BBC series will certainly be familiar with the love story at the heart of the production between crime boss Tommy Shelby and undercover spy Grace Burgess, portrayed on television by Cillian Murphy and Annabelle Wallis.
“Tommy’s life is difficult. He makes a rod for his own back. He causes his own problems, of course. He’s very conflicted, he’s all of those things that he is in the TV show,” says Knight.
“But I think with dance — maybe that you don’t see in other forms — is the joy, when there is joy, you see the joy of it. But also even in the tragedy, you see the beauty of it. So it’s a really interesting way of telling the story.”
Tommy and Grace are being played by two different sets of dancers, with one of the couples, Guillaume Quéau and Naya Lovell, well aware of their responsibility to the “Peaky Blinders” fanbase.
“If the fans watch the show maybe they have certain expectations about what the personas should look like as Grace or Tommy Shelby and I feel this creates also an opportunity to find a middle ground between dance and Benoit’s vision and Rambert’s vision and ‘Peaky Blinders’,” says Quéau.
“There is an essence of it, but it’s also, I wouldn’t say modernized version of it, but it’s our version of the story.”
After the war, the Peaky Blinders run Birmingham their own way, with torture, shooting and stabbing as frequent methods of persuasion.
This violence is steeped into the movements of the dancers.
“I was thinking, please stop because you’re going to hurt each other because it’s real.
“You feel the conflict and the violence quite strongly in the form of dance,” says Knight. “That was another revelation to me, the way that that a fight scene can be beautiful and choreographed and yet really quite full on.” | 2022-09-27T03:29:23+00:00 | ourquadcities.com | https://www.ourquadcities.com/entertainment-news/ap-tv-hit-peaky-blinders-expands-story-through-dance-show/ |

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — OPEC and allied oil-producing countries, including Russia, made a small trim in their supplies to the global economy Monday, underlining their unhappiness as recession fears help drive down crude prices — along with the cost of gasoline, to drivers' delight.
The decision for October rolls back a mostly symbolic increase of 100,000 barrels per day in September. It follows a statement last month from Saudi Arabia's energy minister that the OPEC+ coalition could reduce output at any time.
Oil producers such as Saudi Arabia have resisted calls from U.S. President Joe Biden to pump more oil to lower gasoline prices and the burden on consumers. OPEC+ has stuck with only cautious increases to make up for deep cuts made during the COVID-19 pandemic, which were finally restored in August.
Since then, growing worries about slumping future demand have helped send oil prices down from June peaks of over $120 per barrel, cutting into the windfall for OPEC+ countries' coffers but proving a blessing for drivers in the U.S. as pump prices have eased.
The supply cut for October is only a small fraction of the 43.8 million barrels per day under OPEC+ production goals but wrong-footed several market analysts' predictions of no change in output. Oil prices jumped after the announcement.
U.S. crude rose 3.3%. to $89.79 per barrel, while international benchmark Brent was up 3.7%, to $96.50, after the decision.
Oil prices have gyrated in recent months: Recession fears have pushed them down, while worries of a loss of Russian oil because of sanctions over its invasion of Ukraine pushed them up.
Recently, recession fears have taken the upper hand. Economists in Europe are penciling in a recession at the end of this year due to skyrocketing inflation fed by energy costs, while China's severe restrictions aimed at halting the spread of the coronavirus have sapped growth in that major world economy.
Those falling oil prices have been a boon to U.S. drivers, sending gasoline prices down to $3.82 per gallon from record highs of over $5 in June and offering a potential boost to Biden as his Democratic Party heads into midterm elections.
In June, fears that U.S. and European sanctions would take Russian oil off the market helped push Brent to over $123. Prices have fallen sharply in recent weeks as it became clear that Russia is still managing to sell significant amounts of oil in Asia, albeit at sharply discounted prices.
But concerns about the loss of Russian supply are still out there because European sanctions aimed at blocking most Russian oil imports won't take effect until the end of the year.
Other factors are lurking that could influence the price of oil. For one, the Group of Seven wealthy democracies plan to impose a price cap on Russian oil aimed at battling high energy prices and reducing oil profits that Russia can use for its war in Ukraine.
That’s if the cap works as intended. Russia could refuse to supply oil to countries and companies observing the cap, which would take barrels off the market. The price cap has not been set, and its influence on the global price remains unclear.
Meanwhile, a deal between Western countries and Iran to limit Tehran’s nuclear program could ease sanctions and see more than 1 million barrels per day of Iranian oil return to the market in coming months. However, tensions between the U.S. and Iran appear to have risen in recent days: Iran seized two U.S. naval drones in the Red Sea, and U.S., Kuwaiti and Saudi warplanes flew over the Middle East on Sunday in a show of force.
OPEC+ countries' energy ministers said Monday that their September increase of 100,000 barrels a day was only for that month and that the group could meet again at any time to address market developments. The group said its chairman could call an extraordinary meeting at any time ahead of the next scheduled meeting Oct. 5. | 2022-09-05T14:10:17+00:00 | springfieldnewssun.com | https://www.springfieldnewssun.com/nation-world/opec-cuts-oil-supplies-to-the-world-as-prices-fall/T2JVACV53BD7BE7VNTX4RCBPBI/ |

FILE - Tyler Perry arrives at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Beverly Hills, Calif., on March 27, 2022. Perry is donating $2.75 million to older homeowners in Atlanta to help ensure they are able to stay in their homes.
ATLANTA (AP) — Actor and filmmaker Tyler Perry is donating $2.75 million to older homeowners in Atlanta to help ensure they're able to stay in their homes.
A few weeks ago, Perry reached out to Atlanta Mayor Andrew Dickens about providing assistance for those residents on fixed incomes who could lose their homes as a result of rising real estate taxes, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
Perry, ranked third among the world's highest-paid entertainers by Forbes, is going to pay the back property taxes for 300 low-income seniors in Atlanta, the newspaper said.
The assistance will cover city, county and school taxes. Perry will also cover any increase in taxes over the next 20 years for 100 low-income older residents. He has already donated $750,000 for the first year to cover the back taxes and any increase in property taxes, and has pledged $500,000 each year over the next four years to ensure the residents don’t pay any more in such taxes.
The funds will be administered by Invest Atlanta Partnership, the nonprofit wing of Atlanta’s economic development authority.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott won’t play Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, the second straight game the two-time NFL rushing champion is missing due to a knee injury.
This is the first time Elliott has missed consecutive games because of an injury, though he did serve a six-game suspension over domestic violence allegations in 2017. Elliott had been listed as questionable on Friday’s injury report.
Elliott’s absence likely means a greater workload for Tony Pollard, who has responded well to this opportunity so far.
Pollard rushed for 131 yards and three touchdowns on 14 carries when Elliott was sidelined for the Cowboys’ 49-29 victory over the Chicago Bears on Oct. 30. The Cowboys (6-2) haven’t played since.
Elliott has rushed for 443 yards in seven games this season. The three-time Pro Bowler is averaging 4.1 yards per carry.
Other inactive players for Dallas include linebackers Anthony Barr and Jabril Cox, quarterback Will Grier, cornerback Nahshon Wright, safety Markquese Bell and defensive end Chauncey Golston. The Cowboys already had ruled Barr (hamstring) out on Friday’s injury report.
Green Bay will have offensive tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) and wide receiver Amari Rodgers (hamstring) available after both players were listed as questionable.
Inactive players for Green Bay are cornerback Shemar Jean-Charles, linebacker Krys Barnes, offensive linemen Rasheed Walker and Luke Tenuta, wide receiver Romeo Doubs and defensive lineman Jonathan Ford.
Campbell, Doubs and Jean-Charles already had been ruled out on Friday. The Packers also have placed outside linebacker Rashan Gary (knee) and cornerback Eric Stokes (knee/ankle) on injured reserve since their 15-9 loss at Detroit last week.
The Packers are trying to snap their first five-game skid since 2008, which was Aaron Rodgers’ first season as Green Bay’s starting quarterback. Green Bay hasn’t dropped six consecutive games within the same season since 1988.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Flightline has been retired and will stand at stud after completing a dominant, unbeaten career capped by Saturday's runaway victory in the Breeders’ Cup Classic at Keeneland.
The son of Tapit will begin his breeding career next year at the farm in Versailles, Kentucky, Lane’s End Farms announced in a news release Sunday morning.
The 4-year-old bay colt won the 1¼-mile Classic by a record 8¼ lengths as the 2-5 favorite to cap a 6-0 thoroughbred career.
Flightline was virtually unknown until his 19¼-length victory in September’s Grade 1 Pacific Classic at Del Mar. His combined victory margin of 62¾ lengths entering the season-ending championships soon drew a lot of attention — along with comparisons to legendary Triple Crown winner Secretariat.
Trainer John Sadler's pupil lived up to the hype in the biggest race of his career, starting from the No. 4 post. He and Todd Pletcher-trained Life Is Good (8-1) soon jetted away from six other horses at a blistering pace to form their own match race through the far turn.
By then, Flightline had begun reeling in Life Is Good, drawing even as they turned for home and taking off from there.
Flightline’s ownership syndicate, comprised of five groups, has yet to determine a stud fee. A 2.5% fractional interest in Flightline will be auctioned on Monday at Keeneland ahead of the track’s November Breeding Stock Sale.
“We would like to thank trainer John Sadler and his team for the incredible work they did with Flightline,” Lane’s End’s Bill Farish said in the release. “His historic performances are a credit to their expertise and unwavering efforts to bring out the very best in the horse.”

The at-bats leading up to the sixth inning for Gunnar Henderson were promising, displaying the plate discipline that has made him such a standout player despite being the youngest in baseball. But with a crack that split the late evening chatter at Fenway Park, Henderson’s resounding swing broke him out of the first slump he has experienced in the majors.
Henderson clobbered a home run to straightaway center field Monday night, a two-run bomb left his bat at 111.1 mph — the hardest hit ball of his career. The blast was part of the offensive onslaught before and after a 100-minute rain delay from the Orioles in a 14-8 win against the Boston Red Sox, starting the final road trip of the season on a positive note.
Baltimore dropped two winnable games against the Houston Astros over the weekend, missing a chance to gain ground in the wild-card race, even though it came against the best club in the American League.
Now, with a win to begin the series in Boston, the Seattle Mariners aren’t fully in the clear. The Orioles moved within 3 1/2 games of the Mariners for the final American League wild-card spot with nine games remaining.
“We’re confident,” starting pitcher Jordan Lyles said. “We didn’t love how the Houston series finished up, the second half of those four games. But we know how talented we are. We can get on a run. I strongly believe that a lot of the guys in [the clubhouse] believe that, also. It’s up to us. If we go on a run, we go on a run.”
To do so, the Orioles (80-73) will need to carry over some of the success Monday into the remainder of the series in Boston before facing the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays to end the year.
Henderson had entered his sixth-inning at-bat on an 0-for-16 skid, but his plate appearances had been strong; he walked three times earlier in the game before coming to the plate and wowing in the sixth. The rookie sent his fourth homer 428 feet off right-hander Kaleb Ort.
The earlier plate appearances showed Henderson’s plate discipline, his willingness to seek the right pitch rather than get antsy at the plate in the midst of a minor slump. And then when he saw that four-seamer in a sweet spot, he didn’t miss.
“I felt like I was able to take some close pitches and get myself into advantage counts,” Henderson said. “It felt like a good swing, but it felt like even when I was going through it, I had some hard-hit balls that went right to them. You go through that.”
The noise from Henderson’s swing echoed around a quiet and nearly empty Fenway Park.
“That was as loud as we’ve had all year,” manager Brandon Hyde said.
Baltimore feasted on Boston’s pitching staff, even with a lengthy rain delay following the second inning. That barrage backed up a solid outing from right-hander Spenser Watkins, who entered in relief of Lyles.
The rain delay shortened Lyles’ outing to two innings, during which Hyde made an unusual mound visit to a starting pitcher. Lyles’ four-seam fastball velocity was 2.1 mph slower than average this season, according to Statcast. He still limited the damage, allowing a solo homer to J.D. Martinez before Kiké Hernández drove in a second run.
Hyde said he wanted to check to make sure Lyles was OK after throwing his first complete game last week in 10 years. The answer was yes. And while the velocity was down for Lyles, the 31-year-old chalked it up to a small sample size.
“I would love to say I can ramp it up after the first couple innings,” Lyles said. “I’m hard in with some sinkers [to the right-handed batters.] There’s not a lot of four-seams down and away. I don’t know. It was only two innings worth.”
The cushion for Lyles and the rest of Baltimore’s staff was large, however, with Mullins’ leadoff homer setting up a four-run second inning off right-hander Connor Seabold. And after the delay, a triple from Kyle Stowers off the Green Monster — the second three-bagger of the game, following Cedric Mullins’ two-run triple — drove in another run in the third.
That cushion shrunk in the fourth, when Boston plated three runs off Watkins to cut the deficit to one. Yet the bats quickly made up the distance again, with Anthony Santander clubbing his 30th and 31st homers of the season, joining Eddie Murray and Ken Singleton as the only Orioles switch hitters to reach that number.
“It means a lot, honestly,” Santander said through team interpreter Brandon Quinones. “I want to thank God for giving me the opportunity to be healthy all through this season, and I think that’s been the biggest key for me to be able to reach that mark this year.”
As Watkins and right-hander Logan Gillaspie maneuvered the Red Sox lineup down the stretch, Baltimore tacked on offensively, weathering the six runs off the relievers. It was a positive start to a road series, keeping the door to the postseason cracked open.
But to enter it, the Orioles will need more nights like Monday.
“If we can maintain the same energy we had today and keep it moving forward as we continue to fight, I think it’ll be great,” Santander said. “We feel good about our chances.”
Around the horn
- In order to get a fresh arm in the bullpen, Baltimore optioned left-hander Keegan Akin to Triple-A Norfolk and recalled Gillaspie. The Orioles said the decision wasn’t based on Akin’s performances, although he has an 8.13 ERA in six appearances this month.
- Infielder Ramón Urías said the spasms he has dealt with between his right shoulder and neck felt better Monday and that he should be available off the bench. He has been in and out of the lineup after he first experienced the spasms last week, reaching for a towel in the shower to trigger the painful reaction. “I talked to the manager and I said I’ll play with pain or without pain,” Urías said.
- Infielder Terrin Vavra is dealing with a sore hamstring and wasn’t in the lineup Monday. He exited Sunday’s game after playing six innings.
- Pitchers Beau Sulser and catcher Cam Gallagher joined the taxi squad. Gallagher, a recent waiver claim from the San Diego Padres, grew up in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He said he was a fan of the Orioles and Philadelphia Phillies, and “I grew up watching Cal Ripken [Jr.] play,” he said.

The University of Tulsa played an inspired, energetic football game on Saturday night, moving the ball consistently on offense while getting some key second-half stops on defense.
The end result, an impressive 37-30 comeback victory over Houston in the regular-season finale at TDECU Stadium.
With Davis Brin still injured, Braylon Braxton stepped in again at quarterback and had an outstanding performance. He completed 25-of-43 passes for 316 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing for a team-high 51 yards and another score. JuanCarlos Santana had six receptions for 169 yards and two touchdowns.
It was a nice way to end a season that started with high aspirations for the Golden Hurricane (5-7, 3-5 AAC) but was sunk by a 1-6 stretch from late September through mid-November, ending any hopes of postseason bowl eligibility.

Winning the last two games was satisfying.
“It felt great, honestly,” Braxton said. “Winning that last game, it almost makes you forget about all the bad things that happened throughout the year, just finishing on a positive note. Of course, we still got to build on the things that happened this year, but finishing that game with the win, that kind of cleared everything from this season.”
In the fourth quarter, with the game tied 27-27, the Tulsa offense had gained just one first down over its previous four possessions and faced a third-and-10 situation. Braxton connected on a 25-yard touchdown pass with Santana to give the Hurricane a 34-27 lead with 8:13 remaining. A 38-yard field goal by Zack Long with 2:51 left pushed the lead to 10.
It was an improbable ending after TU had trailed 14-3 in the first quarter and 24-13 in the second, but two outstanding plays from Braxton turned the game around. First, his 37-yard touchdown run late in the second quarter pulled TU to within 24-20. Then, on the first possession of the third quarter, Braxton launched a 52-yard bomb to Santana for another touchdown two minutes into the second half.
“Just couldn’t be more proud, thankful for this team and how they stick together,” said coach Philip Montgomery. “Resilient, battled and found a way to come out on top tonight. Got down early, fought our way back and found a way to win there late. I’m really proud of them and what they were able to accomplish, especially coming on the road. This is a tough place to play with a very talented team across the field.”
Meanwhile, the TU defense held strong in the second half, allowing just six points on two field goals after halftime.
“It felt good to finally beat Houston; I hadn’t beaten them since I’ve been here. That felt great,” said senior cornerback Tyon Davis, who had an interception and a forced fumble, in addition to five tackles. “We actually did make halftime adjustments and in-game adjustments, which I always love. I’m good at that, I love changing things on the fly like that.”
Houston quarterback Clayton Tune, who entered the game tied for the national lead with 35 touchdown passes this season, completed 26-of-47 passes for 386 yards and two touchdowns. Nathaniel Dell made nine catches for 161 yards and one TD for the Cougars. | 2022-11-27T07:02:11+00:00 | tulsaworld.com | https://tulsaworld.com/sports/college/tu/tulsa-ends-season-on-bright-note-with-37-30-upset-at-houston/article_471c4e18-6e15-11ed-8b52-877bcf66d4a7.html |
When: West Lampeter board of supervisors meeting, July 10.
What happened: The board conducted a conditional use hearing for the proposed development at 1820 Lampeter Road called Lampeter Meadows.
Background: The development plan by Kenneth Homes projects 45 lots located between West Lampeter’s agricultural district and residential village district, sandwiched between Lampeter Road and Village Park. Each lot would consist of a single-family dwelling of mixed design with a two-car driveway and two-car garage.
More West Lampeter news:
Plan changes: Kenneth Homes has already adjusted the development plan as requested by emergency services and the township, including cutting out two lots, improving stormwater management and improving fire truck access. However, the design of the development’s entrance on Skip Lane remains up in the air. Kenneth Homes provided one plan with a regular entrance and emergency access through lot easements, as well as an alternative to accommodate additional emergency vehicles with a boulevard-style entrance, which includes a landscaped island.
More: Kenneth Carper Jr., president of Kenneth Homes, said, “Our preference would be to have it as a normal entrance.” However, the outcome depends on input from Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
Public concerns: Roger Brosey has lived at 1806 Lampeter Road, adjacent to the planned development, for three decades. Brosey presented pictures of flooding throughout his property and onto other properties in the area that has taken place over the last dozen years. The developer’s engineer confirmed the project’s stormwater management won’t worsen the condition and will presumably improve it. Resident Lamar Rohrer of 1728 Bridge Road expressed concern over additional development so close to the square. “It seems that we’re trying to preserve history, but I don’t know that we can,” he said.
Outcome: The township attorney closed the hearing and advised board members to wait to make a decision until the next supervisors meeting in August, which they agreed to.
Next meeting: The next meeting is Monday, Aug. 14. | 2023-07-14T23:48:42+00:00 | lancasteronline.com | https://lancasteronline.com/news/regional/west-lampeter-supervisors-conduct-conditional-use-hearing-for-proposed-lampeter-meadows-development/article_e968f90c-201f-11ee-8f73-d7c203e32670.html |
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — The U.S. is directing $930 million toward reducing wildfire dangers in 10 western states by clearing trees and underbrush from national forests, the Biden administration announced Thursday, as officials struggle to protect communities from destructive infernos being made worse by climate change.
Under a strategy now entering its second year, the U.S. Forest Service is trying to prevent out-of-control fires that start on public lands from raging through communities. But in an interview with The Associated Press, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack acknowledged that the shortage of workers that has been plaguing other sectors of the economy is hindering the agency’s wildfire efforts.
He warned that “draconian” budget cuts floated by some Republicans, who control the U.S. House, could also undermine the Democratic administration’s plans. Its goal is to lower wildfire risks across almost 80,000 square miles (200,000 square kilometers) of public and private lands over the next decade.
The work is projected to cost up to $50 billion. Last year’s climate and infrastructure bills combined directed about $5 billion to the effort.
“There’s one big ‘if,’ ” Vilsack said. “We need to have a good partner in Congress.”
He added that fires on public lands will continue to threaten the West, after burning about 115,000 square miles (297,000 square kilometers) over the past decade — an area larger than Arizona — and destroying about 80,000 houses, businesses and other structures, according to government statistics and the nonpartisan research group Headwaters Economics.
Almost 19,000 of those structures were torched in the 2018 Camp Fire that killed 85 people in Paradise, Calif.
“It’s not a matter of whether or not these forests will burn,” Vilsack said. “The crisis is upon us.”
The sites targeted for spending in 2023 cover much of Southern California, home to 25 million people; the Klamath River Basin on the Oregon-California border; San Carlos Apache Reservation lands in Arizona; and the Wasatch area of northern Utah, a tourist draw with seven ski resorts. Other sites are in Idaho, Oregon, Nevada, Washington state, Colorado, New Mexico and Montana.
The idea is to remove many trees and other flammable material from hotspots that make up only a small portion of fire-prone areas but account for about 80% of risk to communities. Vilsack said officials will seek to restore “ old-growth forest conditions ” — meaning fewer but larger trees that can be resilient against fires.
House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Bruce Westerman said he was glad to see the Biden administration taking “long-overdue action” and streamlining forest management rules. But Westerman questioned why more money will be spent this year even as new projects include fewer acres compared with last year, according to administration documents.
“The Forest Service is still recklessly spending valuable taxpayer dollars with little to no accountability,” the Arkansas Republican said in a statement.
A Vilsack aide said there were “no apples-to-apples comparisons” between costs among the landscapes, which differ in terrain, access and the state of the forest. Staffing and equipment issues also factor in, and the differences can make some areas more expensive and time-intensive, spokesperson Marissa Perry said.
“We work to treat not only the most acreage we can, but where it makes the most difference with the resources available,” she said.
Some said the administration remained overly focused on stopping fires — a near-impossible goal — with not enough money and resources going to communities and people at risk, including the elderly and people with medical conditions or disabilities.
“Given the scale of how much needs to be done, we are just skimming the surface,” said Headwaters Economics researcher Kimiko Barrett. “Risks are increasing at a scale and magnitude that we haven’t seen historically. You’re seeing entire neighborhoods devastated.”
Vilsack said the projects announced so far will help reduce wildfire risk to around 200 communities in the western U.S.
Warming temperatures have dried out the region’s landscape and driven insect outbreaks that have killed millions of trees — ideal conditions for massive wildfires.
The impacts stretch across North America, with smoke plumes at the height of wildfire season in the U.S. and Canada sometimes causing unhealthy pollution thousands of miles away on the East Coast.
Last year’s work by the Forest Service included tree thinning and controlled burns across 5,000 square miles (13,000 square kilometers) of forest nationwide, Vilsack said.
“We’re very targeted in saying, ‘Here’s where we need to go to reduce the risk,’” Forest Service Deputy Chief Chris French told the AP.
But a key piece of the administration’s strategy — intentionally setting small fires to reduce the amount of vegetation available to burn in a major blaze — already has encountered problems: The program was suspended three months last spring after a devastating wildfire sparked by the federal government near Las Vegas, New Mexico, burned across more than 500 square miles (1,295 kilometers) in the southern reaches of the Rocky Mountains.
It was the state’s largest fire on record, and several hundred homes were destroyed. Experts have said the environmental damage will linger generations.
Congress has approved nearly $4 billion in assistance for the fire’s victims, including $1.5 billion in the massive spending bill passed last month.
“If you’re a community, you’re going to have to worry about not just nature’s fires, but the government’s fires, too,” said Andy Stahl, executive director of the advocacy group Forest Service Employees for Environmental Ethics. “New Mexico taught us that.” | 2023-01-20T01:25:29+00:00 | nwahomepage.com | https://www.nwahomepage.com/science/ap-science/ap-feds-send-930-million-to-curb-crisis-of-us-west-wildfires/ |
SMYRNA, Tenn. (WXIN) – A laxative sold at several major retail stores including Walgreens and CVS is being recalled after the company received a few reports of serious adverse reactions.
The FDA said Smyrna, TN, Vi-Jon, LLC is recalling all lots of all flavors of its Magnesium Citrate Saline Laxative Oral Solution. The recall was initiated after company testing found a bacteria called Gluconacetobacter liquefaciens.
The FDA said immunocompromised people who consume the product could be at increased risk for an invasive infection that could be severe or life-threatening. So far, the company has learned of three reports potentially related to the recall.
The company recalled one lot of the product last month, but expanded the recall notice to include all lots and all flavors this week.
The product, which is packaged in a 10-ounce plastic bottle, is used for constipation relief. It was distributed nationwide to wholesale and retail outlets.
Anyone with the recalled product should stop using it and return any remaining product to where they bought it.
Anyone who experiences any problems that may be related to taking or using this drug product should inform their doctor and the FDA. Adverse reactions or quality problems may be reported to the FDA’s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program either online, by mail or by fax.

‘After Credits’ movie app | What the Tech?
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (WHAT THE TECH?) — A new app, called ‘After Credits,’ is making sure you don’t miss an iconic scene or important moment that comes after a movie.
Because, when a movie ends, you may ask yourself, is it really over? Some movies have bonus scenes, music, crazy credits, or bloopers. Remember the iconic scene in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” when Ferris tells the audience to go home? There’s no telling how many people missed that scene in theaters when they walked out thinking the movie was over when the credits rolled.
You can sit through the 5 minutes of credits to find out, or you can use “After Credits”.
After Credits is mostly crowdsourced information letting you know if it’s worth staying in your
seat after the movie ends. People who go to the movies or watch them on Netflix or another
streaming service, post whether there’s anything during or after the credits roll.
Checking the app for movies currently in the theater, moviegoers report there’s nothing extra in
“Avatar” and there’s nothing during or after the credits in “Glass Onion” showing now on Netflix.
But contributors using the After Credit app say there is something in the movie “A Man Called
Otto”, and “Wakanda Forever”.
People who’ve waited around to see them can vote on whether it’s worth hanging around for. If you don’t mind spoilers, “After Credits” shows you what you’ll see if you don’t turn it off or walk out of the theater.
It isn’t just new movies, but After Credits has the same information for thousands of movies going back decades.
After Credits is totally free and new movies are rated when they come out, again by people
who do the waiting for us.
The bad news is After Credits is an iPhone-only app. The good news is you can get the information from its website, aftercredits.com, or follow them on Facebook or Twitter. For Android devices, there is a similar app called “Stick Around” in the Google Play Store. | 2023-01-16T14:29:27+00:00 | kob.com | https://www.kob.com/news/top-news/after-credits-movie-app-what-the-tech/ |

NEW YORK (AP) — Bank of America’s profits fell by 8% in the third quarter as the bank set aside cash to cover potential loan losses. It’s the latest bank to start socking away money for a potential recession, as Wall Street’s biggest banks have become increasingly gloomy on the U.S. economy going into the winter.
The nation’s second-largest bank said it earned $7.08 billion last quarter, or 81 cents a share, compared to a profit of $7.69 billion, or 86 cents a share, in the same period a year earlier. The results were better than Wall Street forecasts, who were looking for BofA to earn 78 cents a share, according to FactSet.
BofA put $378 million into its loan-loss reserves this quarter — a similar level to Citigroup and Wells Fargo. These reserves are designed to cushion banks against potential bad loans when economies turn downward. During the pandemic, banks set aside tens of billions of dollars into these reserves, only to release them a year later when economic activity picked up again.
JPMorgan, the nation’s largest bank, set aside roughly a $1 billion in its loan loss reserves last week, while Citigroup and Wells both roughly put $400 million into their reserves this quarter.
The bank saw loans grow by a very healthy 12% from a year earlier, which the bank ascribed to businesses taking out loans as well as consumers carrying a credit card balance. Wells Fargo, Citigroup and JPMorgan all reported double-digit increases in consumer credit card spending compared to a year earlier, which has led to worries that consumers are needing to borrow to keep up with inflation.
The bank also is benefiting from higher interest rates. The bank’s net interest income grew by 24% to $13.8 billion in the quarter. BofA’s balance sheet tends to skew more toward short-term interest rates, which means the Fed’s recent sharp rate hikes have a more immediate impact on the bank’s bottom line compared to its competitors. | 2022-10-18T11:23:10+00:00 | ktalnews.com | https://www.ktalnews.com/news/business/ap-bofa-profits-fall-as-bank-sets-aside-money-for-downturn/ |
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The Netherlands' top administrative court ruled Wednesday that immigration authorities can't send migrants back to Italy, because they face possible human rights violations there — a decision that will likely put further pressure on the strained Dutch asylum system.
The ruling came in cases brought by two migrants, a Nigerian and a man who claims to be from Eritrea. Both entered Europe via Italy. The Nigerian applied for asylum three times in Italy before applying in the Netherlands, and the other man arrived in Italy but didn't seek asylum there, according to the Council of State.
Successive Italian governments have pressed their European Union partners for years, largely in vain, to take in many of the hundreds of thousands of asylum-seekers who reach Italy’s Mediterranean shores. Most risk the dangerous, expensive sea voyage in hopes of finding family or work in northern Europe, but EU rules require them to apply for asylum in the country where they landed.
The Dutch court said that, since December, Italian authorities have indicated that this rule should be suspended because of a lack of reception facilities for migrants in Italy.
“Without reception, there is a genuine risk that their basic needs, such as shelter, food and running water, will not be met, which is a human rights violation,” the Council of State said in a statement.
The decision will likely serve as a precedent and prevent the return to Italy of other migrants who sought asylum in the Netherlands after traveling through Italy. That will likely compound existing problems at overcrowded Dutch asylum centers.
“This doesn't help,” the Dutch junior minister in charge of migration, Eric van der Burg, told Dutch broadcaster NOS. “Italy is, of course, an important country where many people arrive.”
Last summer migrants were forced to sleep outdoors in unsanitary conditions near a reception center in the northern Netherlands village of Ter Apel, because there was no room for them indoors. Prime Minister Mark Rutte said earlier this month that he couldn't rule out similar scenes this year.
The Dutch government sought last year to cut the number of migrants entering the Netherlands by restricting family members from joining asylum-seekers who have been granted residency, but the move was scrapped after courts ruled it unlawful.

LONDON, ON, June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - INDIVA Limited (the "Company" or "INDIVA") (TSXV: NDVA) (OTCQX: NDVAF) is pleased to announce the results of its annual general meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting"). At the Meeting, Indiva shareholders approved: (i) the re-election of the seven nominated directors, being Niel Marotta, Andre Lafleche, Hugh Hamish Sutherland, John Marotta, James Yersh, Russell Wilson and Rachel Goldman; (ii) the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's auditors; and, (iii) the adoption of the Company's amended and restated omnibus incentive plan. The resolutions are fully described in the Management Information Circular dated May 9, 2022 related to the Meeting, which can be found under the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
The Company has received strong initial orders from the Ontario Cannabis Store ("OCS") for the load-in and launch of Grön Pearls gummies in Ontario. Initial deliveries of the first four Pearls gummie SKUs will occur in July 2022 and include unique flavours and cannabinoid profiles such as Blue Razzleberry 3:1 CBG:THC, Blackberry Lemonade 1:1:1 CBN:CBD:THC, Pomegranate 4:1 CBD:THC, and Sour Green Apple THC. Each container will contain five sugar-coated sphere-shaped gummies. Deliveries of Pearls to additional provinces is expected to occur in late Q3.
Indiva recently received final confirmation from the OCS for the listing of an additional 25 new SKUs, including five SKUs which will participate in the "Flow-through" program. These additional listings bring Indiva's OCS listings to a total of 60 SKUs, up from the current level of 35 SKUs. The newly accepted SKUs are across six brands: Indiva Life(including lozenges, cookies and chocolates), Artisan Batch, Grön Pearls (including three SKUs in addition to the initial four Pearls SKUs slated for the July launch described above), Grön Pips, Dime Vapes and Bhang Chocolate. All SKUs are expected to launch in Ontario in September and October 2022, as well as additional provinces beginning in Q3.
The Company also wishes to provide an update to its net revenue guidance provided in its Q1 2022 financial results press release, dated May 19, 2022. Due to delays in deliveries of new products, and delays in provincial delivery appointments, the Company now expects net revenue to decline sequentially from Q1 2022. Excluding the impact of these delays, net revenue would have been higher on a sequential basis, as per the Company's previous guidance. The Company maintains its guidance for higher sequential and year-over-year net revenue growth in the second half of 2022, driven by new product introductions. The Company also remains on track to begin the commissioning and implementation of automation in processing and packaging at its production facility in London, Ontario in the second half of 2022.
Finally, the Company has recently added two additional medical platforms, one in Ontario and another in the Province of Quebec, for the distribution of products produced by Indiva. The Company will continue to look to add additional medical platforms to its national distribution platform, which covers all 13 provinces and territories in Canada.
Indiva sets the standard for quality and innovation in cannabis. As a Canadian licensed producer, Indiva produces and distributes award-winning cannabis products nationally, including Bhang® Chocolate, WanaTM Sour Gummies, Jewels Chewable Tablets, Grön edibles, Dime IndustriesTM vape products, as well as capsules, edibles, extracts, pre-rolls and premium flower under the INDIVA, Indiva Life and Artisan Batch brands.

WASHINGTON (AP) — With COVID-19 immigration restrictions set to expire, the Biden administration on Thursday announced measures meant to stop migrants from illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, both by cracking down on many of those who do come, and by creating new pathways meant to offer an alternative to the dangerous journey.
The effort includes opening processing centers outside the United States for people fleeing violence and poverty to apply to fly in legally and settle in the United States, Spain or Canada. The first processing centers will open in Guatemala and Colombia, with others expected to follow.
The administration also plans to swiftly screen migrants seeking asylum at the border itself, quickly deport those deemed as not being qualified, and penalizing people who cross illegally into the U.S. or illegally through another country on their way to the U.S. border.
But it is unclear whether the measures will do much to slow the tide of migrants fleeing countries marred by political and economic strife. Further increasing the pressure is the looming end of public health rules instituted amid the pandemic that allowed for quickly expelling many migrants and set to expire on May 11.
“This is a hemispheric challenge that demands hemispheric solutions,” said Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas during a news conference as he laid out how the U.S. is working with other countries in the region.
Mayorkas also warned that migrants and human smugglers should not interpret the upcoming deadline to mean that everyone should come: ”Let me be clear, our border is not open and will not be open after May 11.”
Immigration has vexed Biden throughout his presidency, with top GOP leaders hammering him as soft on border security. Immigrant advocates, meanwhile, argue that the president is abandoning humanitarian efforts with stricter measures meant to keep migrants from coming illegally.
The topic isn’t going away. As he announces his 2024 reelection bid, Biden is trying to strike a balance that could be difficult to achieve, particularly if crowds of migrants end up in border facilities after May 11.
The administration has also repeatedly pointed to Congress, saying it has been unable to come to an agreement on comprehensive immigration reform.
The efforts announced Thursday build on a carrot-and-stick approach to immigration that the administration has been increasingly using, whereby they offer incentives like humanitarian parole visas for hundreds of thousands of people and harsh consequences for many who come to the border. Those have so far included:
— Processing centers: The administration will open migration centers in numerous countries starting with Guatemala and Colombia to be run by the International Organization of Migration and the U.N. agency tasked with helping refugees. There potential migrants can get information on various ways they can migrate to the United States, such as applying for refugee status or a worker program. The administration said both Canada and Spain have said they’d take migrants referred from these centers, although no specific numbers were given. The U.S. also said it would double the number of refugees taken from Central and South America. No specific number was given there, either, but during fiscal year 2023 the U.S. pledged to accept 15,000 refugees from Latin America and the Caribbean.
— Stiffer, faster penalties: The administration says it will process asylum-seekers who come to the southern border faster — in days, not weeks — with the goal of sending people back quickly who don’t clear initial screenings. Those removed from the country would be barred from entering the U.S. for five years. The administration says it aims to dramatically increase flights on which migrants are sent home from the U.S. Officials also said a previously announced rule which would limit asylum for those who pass through another country without first seeking protection there, or who enter the U.S. illegally, is also set to go into effect before the May 11 deadline passes.
— No family detention: The administration stopped short of saying they’d detain families crossing the border illegally. That step would have sparked widespread condemnation from immigration advocates and Biden allies. But they said they’d monitor families through things like curfews and GPS monitoring and stressed that families would be removed if found unqualified to stay in the U.S.
— Family reunification: DHS is creating a new family reunification parole process for people from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Colombia. And the agency is “modernizing” the existing family reunification process for people from Cuba and Haiti.
— Smuggler crackdown: Mayorkas stressed efforts to more strictly combat smuggling networks that facilitate travel from across the region to the U.S. border.
Andrew Selee, who heads the Migration Policy Institute, said the plans announced are the “clearest we’ve seen of a strategy” from the administration on how to deal with immigration. But he cautioned that it would still require a lot of time and commitment for the plan to be successful.
“I think it’s the closest we’ve seen to a comprehensive plan,” Selee said. He said the administration was betting a lot on the processing centers, and said potentially they can serve to give people information about migration options in a way that a U.S. Embassy, for example, cannot.
But Selee said they would have to be closely linked to local networks in various countries so prospective migrants know about them, and so local organization who know the people who are most desperate to flee can refer them to the centers.
Thursday’s announcement was met with criticism by many immigration advocates, including members of the president’s own party who have been troubled by Biden’s increasing efforts to make it harder to access asylum at the border.
Sen. Bob Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, said he was “disappointed” in the plan, especially after spending recent weeks urging the White House to adopt a different immigration strategy, including extending temporary protected status to people from several Central American countries. He also cast doubt on how parts of the plan would be implemented.
“The question is, how are we going to set up those processing centers? What are the entities that will be there to make sure that a person is being processed in the appropriate way? What are we doing with third countries to be able to accept individuals and make sure that they are safe?” said Menendez.
Many groups that work to assist refugees and other migrants said they welcomed some aspects of the president’s plan, such as allowing in more refugees from South and Central America and speeding up family reunification efforts. But they said that shouldn’t come at the expense of people applying for asylum at the border.
The International Refugee Assistance Project said in a statement that it is concerned at the lack of details in the plan, how it will be implemented and where the money will come from. The group also said that the U.S.’s refugee resettlement program is still struggling to recover after cuts during the Trump administration.
“We have more questions than answers,” said Lacy Broemel, a project policy analyst.
Others, including right-leaning groups already intensely critical of Biden, lambasted the plan, saying that faster processing of migrants simply means they’re entering the country faster. The Federation for American Immigration Reform said the initiatives amount ”to a massive and illegal scheme designed to accommodate unlimited numbers of migrants.”

Michigan State (5-6, 3-5 Big Ten) at No. 11 Penn State (9-2, 6–2 Big Ten, No. 11 CFP), Saturday, 4 p.m. EST (FS1)
KEY MATCHUPS
Michigan State’s rush defense vs. Penn State’s run game. The Nittany Lions have had their way with their last three opponents on the ground. They’re averaging 222 rushing yards per game since Oct. 29 and have scored nine touchdowns.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Michigan State: LB Cal Haladay. He averages 9.9 tackles per game, tied for most in the Big Ten. Haladay had a Big Ten-high 19 tackles in a win over Rutgers earlier this month, and might need to have a similar performance to help the Spartans pull off an upset.
Penn State: RB Kaytron Allen. Pick either of Penn State’s talented true freshman backs. While Nick Singleton is the bigger threat, Allen has been a bulldozer. He’s tough to tackle and is the player the Nittany Lions call upon to wear defenses down early.
FACTS & FIGURES
The Spartans have won six of the last nine games in the series, including three of their last five at Penn State. ... Michigan State WR Keon Coleman ranks among Big Ten leaders with seven TD receptions, 64.3 yards receiving per game and 50 catches. He had his third 100-yard game of the season against Indiana. ... Spartans QB Payton Thorne has thrown 18 TDs and 10 INTs, a year after he threw 27 TDs and 10 INTs. ... Michigan State’s Bryce Baringer is one of 10 semifinalists for the Ray Guy Award, which recognizes college football’s top punter. … Penn State RBs Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton are the first freshman duo in the Big Ten to rush for 700-plus yards each in a season. … Franklin won his 100th game as head coach last week. … Twenty-six Nittany Lions have recorded at least one tackle for loss this season, most in the FBS. … Penn State scored three non-offensive TDs last week.

BEIJING, Nov. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- China and Pakistan on Wednesday vowed to make joint efforts in elevating the level of all-round strategic cooperation and inject new impetus into their all-weather strategic cooperative partnership.
Chinese President Xi Jinping said that Pakistan has always been a high priority in China's neighborhood diplomacy when meeting with Pakistani Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, who was among the first foreign leaders invited to Beijing after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC). This is also the prime minister's first visit to China since assuming office in April.
Sharif said that his visit is a "testament to the profound, iron-clad friendship" between Pakistan and China, adding that deepening Pakistan's all-weather strategic cooperative partnership with China is a cornerstone of Pakistan's foreign policy and the national consensus of Pakistan.
China ready to provide new opportunities
China will continue its fundamental policy of opening-up and provide new opportunities to Pakistan and the rest of the world through continuous development, Xi told Sharif.
The two sides should make full use of the Joint Cooperation Committee of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), advance CPEC with greater efficiency, and make CPEC an exemplar of high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, he said.
Noting that CPEC has had a profound impact on Pakistan's economic and social development, Sharif said Pakistan is ready to work with China to continue promoting high-quality Belt and Road cooperation.
As a flagship program of the Belt and Road Initiative, CPEC has become a landmark of China-Pakistan cooperation. It has effectively boosted economic development, improved people's livelihood, and generated positive socioeconomic effects in Pakistan. The recent 11th meeting of the Joint Cooperation Committee of CPEC was a success. Multiple common understandings were reached about CPEC's future development.
The two sides also agreed to expand cooperation in digital economy, e-commerce, photovoltaic and other new-energy technologies, as well as advance cooperation concerning agriculture, science, technology and people's livelihood.
China has been Pakistan's largest trade and investment partner, the largest exporter and the second largest importer for six consecutive fiscal years since 2015.
Last year, trade between China and Pakistan reached $27.82 billion, a year-on-year increase of 59.1 percent. Chinese exports to Pakistan totaled $24.23 billion, a year-on-year increase of 57.8 percent, while imports from Pakistan were $3.59 billion, a year-on-year increase of 68.9 percent, showed data from the General Administration of Customs.
Jointly advancing global governance
China will work with Pakistan to advance the Global Development Initiative (GDI), the Global Security Initiative (GSI), and make the global economic governance system more fair, equitable and inclusive that benefits all, Xi said.
The GDI and the GSI, proposed by Xi Jinping in 2021 and 2022 respectively, seek to overcome the tunnel vision that contributes to the rise of de-globalization, populism and xenophobia, which risk impeding global governance of development and security.
The GDI highlights re-energizing and speeding up the implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and building a global community of development, while the GSI gives clear answers to questions such as what security concept the world needs and how countries can achieve common security, which opens an important new way for global security governance.
Sharif expressed full support for the initiatives, adding that his country will strengthen communication with China in international and regional affairs to contribute positively to world peace and development.
The Pakistani prime minister also reiterated his country's firm commitment to the one-China policy and its firm support for China's position on issues concerning China's core interests including Taiwan, Xinjiang and Hong Kong.
The Pakistan-China friendship is unbreakable, and Pakistan will always stand firmly with China, he added.
The two countries issued a joint statement, highlighting mutual support on issues concerning each other's core interests, the key role of various bilateral cooperation mechanisms for deepening strategic communication, and cooperation in the areas of agriculture, mining, IT and socio-economic development under CPEC.
The two sides also signed and concluded a number of agreements, covering bilateral cooperation in areas of e-commerce, digital economy, export of agricultural products, financial cooperation, protection of cultural property and infrastructure, among others.

Days after a report surfaced indicating "inhumane" treatment by Texas border officials, the Department of Justice told Scripps News it is monitoring.
“The department is aware of the troubling reports, and we are working with DHS and other relevant agencies to assess the situation," said DOJ spokeswoman Xochitl Hinojosa.
A DOJ official added that it won't comment any further as it gathers facts.
Texas border officials have strung miles of razor wire and built a wall of buoys in the river as part of a $4 billion effort from Gov. Greg Abbott called Operation Lone Star, through which Texas counties can deploy the National Guard to assist in border arrests and busing migrants to other cities.
In emails first obtained by Hearst Newspapers and reported by the Associated Press, trooper and medic Nicolas Wingate told his superiors at the Texas Department of Public Safety he witnessed what he called "inhumane" treatment in Maverick County.
SEE MORE: The National Guard is assisting Texas with border protection
Abbott released a statement defending the actions of the Department of Public Safety while claiming that there have been no changes in policy that would put migrants at risk.
"No orders or directions have been given under Operation Lone Star that would compromise the lives of those attempting to cross the border illegally," Abbott said in a statement. "The Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas Military Department continue taking steps to monitor migrants in distress, provide appropriate medical attention when needed, and encourage them to use one of the 29 international bridges along the Texas-Mexico Border where they can safely and legally cross. With migrants from over 150 countries encouraged by open border policies to risk their lives and make this dangerous trek to enter our country illegally, Texas is deploying every tool and strategy to deter and repel illegal crossings between ports of entry.
"The absence of these tools and strategies—including concertina wire that snags clothing—encourages migrants to make potentially life-threatening and illegal crossings."
Abbott has called on the National Guard to provide aid.
"We have 24/7 coverage of our section of the border here," said 2nd Lt. Thomas Matchett. "What my guys are doing every day is detecting migrants. Right now, our directive is to deter and say, 'We need you to go back to Mexico; we can't let you in this area. We're not using any force or anything like that; it's very cordial. But our mission is to deter the migrants."

Data from Customs and Border Protectionindicates fewer encounters at the U.S. and Mexico border. In June, there were 144,571 apprehensions, the fewest CBP has made since February 2021.
The Biden administration implemented a phone application that gives migrants the opportunity to schedule a time to come to the border to seek asylum. The order largely prohibits those who enter Mexico from another country from coming to the U.S. to seek asylum without using the app.
CBP processed 38,000 people through the app at a point of entry in June, officials said.
The Biden administration’s policy of directing migrants to the app has drawn criticism from both sides. Immigration activists say the new rules make it too restrictive for migrants to apply for asylum. Republicans claim the Biden administration is not doing enough to secure the southern border.

SMART LIVING: The upside of springing forward
ORLANDO, Fla. (IVANHOE NEWSWIRE) - Daylight saving time continues to be a controversial topic, but changing your clocks can actually have benefits.
People across the country will lose an hour of sleep on the morning of Sunday, March 12.
The biggest complaint about the time change is that it costs people an hour of precious sleep. However, the extra hour of sunlight actually boosts the body’s production of melatonin, a hormone that helps people sleep.
A study published in Epidemiology reveals the time change also benefits your overall brain. Incidents of depression increase by 11% when the clock shifts back in November, suggesting that springing forward may help reduce depressive episodes.
A person’s eyes may also benefit from the time change. According to the American Journal of Public Health, people can switch off their fluorescent lights for an extra hour. Researchers said that light can cause a person’s eyes to strain more and cause cataracts.
According to the Accident Analysis and Prevention Report, driving in daylight can also save lives. If people adopted daylight saving time, they would save 366 lives a year.
Experts said increased daylight doesn’t just make driving easier and safer. It makes people want to walk more. A study in the Journal of Environmental Psychology found the extra daylight we get accounts for a 62% increase in pedestrians and a 38% increase in cyclists.

NEW YORK (AP) — Citing the current Hollywood writers strike, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos will not be attending next week's PEN America Gala in Manhattan, when he was to accept a Business Visionary Award. PEN America will not be presenting the award this year, saying the honor is premised upon the recipient accepting in person.
The Gala, to be held May 18 at the American Museum of Natural History, is one of the year's literary highlights and will feature the presentation of several awards, including one to “Saturday Night Live” creator Lorne Michaels for Literary Service.

“Given the threat to disrupt this wonderful evening, I thought it was best to pull out so as not to distract from the important work that PEN America does for writers and journalists, as well as the celebration of my friend and personal hero Lorne Michaels," Sarandos said in a statement released Wednesday by Netflix. "I hope the evening is a great success.”
A PEN spokesperson said that no one this year will be given the Business Visionary Award, which in 2022 was won by Audible founder Don Katz. A Netflix spokesperson said there would be no comment beyond Sarandos' statement.
Michaels, whose show has been off the air since the strike began May 2, is still planning to attend, according to PEN. The head writer at SNL, Writers Guild member Colin Jost, will be serving as emcee.

In a statement Wednesday, PEN America praised Sarandos' “singular work translating literature to artful presentation on screen and his stalwart defense of free expression and satire," and added that as "a writers organization, we have been following recent events closely and understand his decision.
“Our Gala program, with honorees including Saturday Night Live‘s Lorne Michaels and emcee Colin Jost, will center on the escalating campaign of book bans in this country, tightening constraints on satire and comedy, and support of threatened writers worldwide. We look forward to a moving and inspiring event that will fuel our fervent work on behalf of free speech.”

From Israel to Spain to Morocco, produce is so flavorful that many salads need only ripe tomatoes and cool cucumbers to be delicious. But the watery, bland vegetables in the average American supermarket too often disappoint to work this way.
That's why we use a simple trick to give them a boost — salting the chopped vegetables for about 10 minutes before dressing them. Besides seasoning the vegetables throughout, salting draws out moisture, which concentrates their flavors and gives them a more substantial, meatier texture.
Just half a teaspoon of salt for about a pound of chopped tomatoes and cucumbers was plenty for this refreshing salad in our book "Tuesday Nights Mediterranean," which features weeknight-friendly meals from the region. For additional flavor inspiration, we merged two Mediterranean classics, Greek horiatiki and the shopska salata of the Balkan countries.

For additional punch, we soak slices of red onion and rings of fresh chile in vinegar to soften their bite, then whisk the infused vinegar with olive oil and garlic to make the dressing. Briny capers add another layer of texture, and creamy feta cheese contrasts with the crisp, cool vegetables.
Good-quality feta is key here. The pre-crumbled stuff is loaded with artificial preservatives and lacks flavor, so look for varieties sold in blocks and crumble it yourself.
After assembling the salad, don't wait to serve it. The flavors and textures are best when fresh.
TOMATO AND CUCUMBER SALAD WITH CAPERS AND FETA
12 ounces ripe tomatoes, cored and cut into 6 to 8 wedges
1 English cucumber, cut lengthwise into eighths, then crosswise into 2-inch lengths
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 Fresno or jalapeño chile, stemmed and sliced into thin rings
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon drained capers
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium garlic clove, finely grated
1/2 cup lightly packed fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
In a colander set in a large bowl, toss together the tomatoes, cucumber and ½ teaspoon salt; let stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the onion, chili, vinegar and ¼ teaspoon salt; let stand for 10 minutes.
Transfer the tomatoes and cucumbers to a serving bowl, discarding their liquid, then sprinkle with the feta. Using tongs, lift the onion and chili out of the vinegar mixture, squeezing gently and allowing the vinegar to drain back into the bowl, then scatter them over the tomatoes and cucumber; reserve the vinegar. Sprinkle the capers over the salad.
To the reserved vinegar, add the oil, garlic, a pinch of salt and and ¼ teaspoon pepper, then whisk to combine. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and sprinkle with parsley. Toss to combine at the table. Serves 4 to 6.

Grayson County Sheriff’s Office reports 100 percent compliance with state evaluation
SHERMAN, Texas (KXII) - The Grayson County Sheriff’s Office is getting high marks from the state.
At random, the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement checks local sheriff’s departments to make sure they are following protocols, like completing background checks and psychological evaluations.
The Grayson County Sheriff’s Office said it passed, coming back with 100 percent compliance.
It hasn’t seen an inspection since 2019.
“Our staff works hard at this,” said Grayson County Sheriff Tom Watt. “They really do because they know I don’t like deficiencies with the state, and so to stay zero deficient from 2019, which we were, to know that’s a true testament to our staff.”
Sheriff Watt said when he took office in 2016, the office was under administrative restrictions because the state found deficiencies in its compliance.

NEW YORK, Feb. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Ryvyl Inc. f/k/a Greenbox POS (NASDAQ: RVYL, GBOX): (i) pursuant and/or traceable to the registration statement and prospectus issued in connection with the Company's January 29, 2021 public offering (the "Offering"); and/or (ii) between January 29, 2021 and January 20, 2023, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the April 3, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you invested in Ryvyl securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Ryvyl class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=11425 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than April 3, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, the Registration Statement was false and/or misleading and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company would restate certain financials; (2) the Company's internal controls were inadequate; (3) the Company downplayed and obfuscated its internal controls issues; and (4) as a result, the Registration Statement was materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Ryvyl class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=11425 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

A 2011 Chevrolet Impala isn’t likely to attract attention from collectors—unless it’s a NASCAR Cup Series race car driven by four-time champion Jeff Gordon, that is.
Miami-based Speedart Motorsports is selling Hendrick Motorsports’ Chassis 678, which Gordon drove in the 2011 Cup Series (then known as the Sprint Cup) season. It was recently refurbished to race-ready condition, Speedart claims, and can be yours for an asking price of $165,000.
The 2011 cars were built to NASCAR’s fifth-generation Cup Series design, which debuted for the 2008 season and was known as the “Car of Tomorrow.” This design was replaced after the 2012 season by the sixth-generation Cup Series chassis, which in turn was replaced by the “Next Gen” car for the 2022 season.
While badged as an Impala, and borrowing some styling elements from the now-defunct sedan’s then-current look, the Cup Series car has a bespoke tube-frame chassis and rear-wheel drive instead of the Impala’s front-wheel-drive layout. A carbureted 5.8-liter pushrod V-8 generates an estimated 850 hp and 490 lb-ft of torque, and is coupled to a 4-speed manual transmission.
The listing quotes a 0-60 mph time of 3.3 seconds, which is slower than some current supercars, but also a 200-mph top speed. The car was designed to run at that speed continuously on a NASCAR oval.
Gordon drove Chassis 678 in three races, starting with the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where he qualified eighth and finished second. The Impala was also raced in the Pure Michigan 400 at Michigan International Speedway, where Gordon qualified ninth and finished sixth. The car’s final race, the Geico 400 at Chicagoland Speedway, was also its worst finish. Gordon qualified 23rd and finished 24th.
The car was subsequently sold by Hendrick Motorsports into private ownership. It was recently rebuilt by current NASCAR Cup Series team Rick Ware Racing, according to the seller, adding that it’s currently set up for track-day events at road courses.
Gordon retired from full-time racing after the 2015 season. He is currently a vice-president at Hendrick Motorsports, but still does occasional races. He won the 2017 Rolex 24 at Daytona driving a Cadillac DPi-V.R prototype, and returned to Indianapolis last month for a Porsche Carrera Cup race.

DENVER (AP) — That Mount Rushmore of Quarterbacks in the loaded AFC West is off to a rather rocky start.
Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert and Derek Carr all lost their Week 3 games, and Russell Wilson endured a career-high nine three-and-outs Sunday night before he finally flashed the magic that earned him a $245 million extension this month, quieting the Broncos’ boobirds.
Aside from the 80-yard, 12-play masterpiece that ended with Melvin Gordon’s 1-yard touchdown run, Wilson directed a dozen drives that resulted in two long field goal attempts and 10 punts as the Broncos grinded out an 11-10 win over San Francisco.
Wilson hasn’t looked anything like the nine-time Pro Bowler he was with the Seahawks as he’s thrown for just two touchdowns and scrambled for 22 yards. But Denver is 2-1 thanks to his back-to-back fourth-quarter comebacks against the Texans and 49ers, against whom he is now 17-4.
Wilson looked like his vintage self when he rolled out left to buy time and hit Kendall Hinton for a 27-yard gain on the run, then scrambled up the middle for 12 yards on the game-winning drive.
“It was kind of a surreal feeling,” center Lloyd Cushenberry said. “You see him make those plays in Seattle for so many years and now you’re on the field with him and watching him make these plays, scrambling and getting out of the pocket. The great throw he had to Kendall, it was one of those moments that you’ve seen for 10-plus years and him making those plays.
“It was vintage Russell Wilson back in his form.”
The Broncos now sit atop the AFC West alongside longtime division bully Kansas City after the Chiefs (2-1) flubbed their way to a 20-17 loss at Indianapolis.
Wilson’s choppy changeover in Denver shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, and not entirely because of rookie coach Nathaniel Hackett’s “Camp Cupcake” that featured very little hitting over the summer and his decision to keep his starters, including Wilson, on the sideline in the preseason.
Peyton Manning lost three of his first five games in Denver a decade ago before leading the Broncos to a 13-3 record and their first of four consecutive playoff berths.
After two decades of dominance in New England, Tom Brady started out 7-5 with Tampa Bay two years ago before propelling the Buccaneers to the top for his seventh Super Bowl ring.
“When you look at it, Russell has been in one place for his whole career,” Hackett said. “Then he comes here, he’s got a new coaching staff, new city, new fans, new press, new system, new people that he’s going out there and playing with. So it’s not as easy as just going out there with anybody and playing ball.”
Hackett even had to hire a veteran assistant coach to help him manage the game operations better after a series of blunders the first two weeks of the season that included taking the ball out of Wilson’s hands for a 64-yard field goal try by Brandon McManus that missed, leaving the Seahawks 17-16 winners in Wilson’s homecoming on opening weekend.
“We’re all working through all kinds of things,” Hackett said. “I’m working through things with him. I’m making sure I’m calling the proper plays for him, that the players are running the right routes, and it’s just that whole thing, everybody working together.
“There’s been some good and there’s been some bad. We just have to make sure we have more good than bad as we continue to move forward.”
Speaking of questionable decisions, Mahomes got into a heated sideline spat with Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy on Sunday for not being aggressive at the end of the first half .
“I wanted to go for the score; that’s just who I am,” Mahomes explained afterward.
The Chiefs didn’t even try to score from their 36 with 30 seconds left, leading to Mahomes’ animated discussion with Bieniemy before head coach Andy Reid got between them.
And how about Chargers coach Brandon Staley, who kept Herbert in the game down four touchdowns Sunday despite battered ribs in a 38-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars?
A trendy pick to win the Super Bowl, the Chargers are 1-2 and look nothing like championship contenders as Herbert plays through fractured rib cartilage.
In even worse shape are the Raiders (0-3), whose 24-22 loss to Tennessee on Sunday when Carr failed to covert a 2-point pass with 1:14 remaining left Las Vegas as the NFL’s only winless team through three weeks.
The Raiders’ trio of losses are by a combined 13 points.
“I’m looking for us to try to improve and play a full 60-minute game, where we actually start well, play well in all three phases, see what that looks like. I’m not sure that we’ve done that yet,” coach Josh McDaniels said.
Not since 1959 has an 0-3 NFL team had no company in the league’s cellar, and the Raiders will seek to avoid their first 0-4 start since 2006 on Sunday when they host Wilson and the Broncos.
McDaniels is now 5-20 as a head coach since winning his first six games in 2009 with Denver, where he was fired less than a year later in the aftermath of a video scandal, a player’s suicide and a 5-17 run that followed his 6-0 start.
Although he enjoyed enormous success as Brady’s play designer and play caller in New England in the interim, McDaniels will head into Sunday’s showdown against Denver having not won a game as an NFL head coach in 4,341 days.

INNSBRUCK, Austria, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AV-Comparatives, the independent ISO-certified security software evaluation lab, has released the latest results from the Business Main-Test Series, which evaluated a range of anti-virus products in business environments. This report is brought in the interim of the full Performance Test and product reviews, which will be released in July.
Link to test report: https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/business-security-test-march-april-2022-factsheet/
In business environments, it is usual for products to be configured by the system administrator in accordance with vender's guidelines. With the Enterprise Main-Test Series, AV-Comparatives invited all vendors to configure their respective products towards an enterprise-first environment. The applied settings are then used across all Enterprise Tests over the year. AV-Comparatives has listed all relevant deviations from default settings.
The following products (latest version available at time of testing) were tested under Windows 10 64-bit systems: Acronis, Avast, Bitdefender, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Cybereason, Elastic, ESET, G Data, K7, Kaspersky, Malwarebytes, Microsoft, Sophos, Trellix, VIPRE, VMware and WatchGuard.
Ransomware and phishing are currently the biggest cyber security threats to enterprises. This makes choosing the right endpoint protection software even more important."
-- Peter Stelzhammer, co-founder AV-Comparatives
The Real-World Protection Test examines the performance of leading antivirus solutions to assess their capabilities in conditions experienced every day by users around the world. The interim results of this the Real-World Protection Test are based on a set of 373 live test cases (malicious URLs found in the field), tested from the beginning of March until the end of April. Of the 18 vendors tested, nine received a 99% and above protection rate, with Bitdefender and G Data earning the highest protection rate score of 99.7%.
The Malware Protection Test assesses a security program's ability to protect a system against infection by malicious files before, during or after execution. For this test, 1,007 recent malware samples were used. Of the 18 vendors tested, 14 received a 99% or above Malware Protection Rate, with VMware, Acronis, Bitdefender and Trellix scoring the highest.
To ensure that the tested programs do not protect the system at the expense of high false-alarm rates, a false-positives test is also run for the Malware Protection Test. False positives run on a scale of 'Remarkably High' to 'Very Low'. A Low to Very-Low rate of false positives is considered anything below 15, with the highest number of false positives being greater than 125. From this year onwards, products are required to have a false-positive rate on non-business files below the 'Remarkably High' threshold in order to be approved. As of the March-Aril Business Test, Acronis, ESET, Kaspersky, Microsoft, Avast, Bitdefender, Cybereason, Sophos, VIPRE, VMware and WatchGuard have scored either 'Low' or 'Very Low'.
The full report, including Performance Testing and product reviews, will be released in July. To be certified in July 2022 as an 'Approved Business Product' by AV-Comparatives, the tested products must score at least 90% in the Malware Protection Test, with zero false alarms on common business software, a rate below 'Remarkably High' for false positives on non-business files and must score at least 90% in the overall Real-World Protection Test over the course of four months, with less than one hundred false alarms on clean software/websites.
The full results of the March-April Business Test Factsheet are available here:

VIDEO: Fiery tanker crash kills driver, burns Maryland homes
FREDERICK, Md. (AP) — A tanker truck hauling a flammable liquid crashed on a Maryland highway Saturday and caught fire, killing the driver and damaging several homes and vehicles, authorities said.
The truck crashed around noon on U.S. 15 in Frederick, about an hour’s drive west of Baltimore. Photos showed massive flames and billowing smoke.
Fire crews arrived within minutes of receiving several emergency calls and found the truck completely engulfed in a fire that had also spread to three homes and automobiles, Frederick Fire Chief Tom Coe said at a news conference
One of those homes was extensively damaged, displacing the residents. The other two sustained minor damage, Coe said.
The tanker driver, who was not immediately identified, died but no other injuries were reported, Coe said.
Authorities said the exact chain of events that led to the crash is under investigation. Officials are also working to determine exactly what substance the tanker was hauling, though Coe said it was believed to be a commonly transported flammable liquid like gasoline or diesel fuel that poses no threat to the general public.
Crews will be monitoring the air quality and isolating the area where the liquid saturated soil for cleanup, he said. Officials said there was no breach of the city’s sewer system or a nearby creek.
The crash initially shut down U.S. 15, which runs through the city of about 80,000 people, in both directions, the State Highway Administration said.

Irene Papas, a Greek actress who became famous worldwide thanks to her roles in such films as Zorba the Greek, Z and The Guns of Navarone, died Wednesday at age 96. With her haunting looks and acclaimed gift for dramatic roles, Papas was also known for her stage work, particularly in ancient Greek tragedies.
The Greek Ministry of Culture and Sports announced her death. In a statement posted to social media, the ministry wrote of Papas: "Majestic, stately, dynamic, she was the personification of Greek beauty on the cinema screen and on the theater stage, an international star who radiated Greekness."
Papas, whose last name was also occasionally transliterated as Pappas, was born as Eirini (Irene) Lelekou on Sept. 3, 1926, in the village of Chiliomodi near Corinth, but grew up largely in Athens. By the time she was a teenager, she had begun studying drama. In a career that lasted some 50 years, Papas made over 70 films in her native Greece and internationally.
In the 1970s and 1980, she appeared in several New York productions of classical plays as well as a short-lived 1967 Broadway retelling of Phaedra called That Summer — That Fall.
Papas built her career in Greece in the 1940s and 50s, and was soon championed by the Greek-American film director Elia Kazan, who had her read for him in 1954. MGM gave her a contract the following year, though the only resulting film was a 1956 Western called Tribute to a Bad Man, which starred James Cagney.
In 1961, she appeared in the World War II film The Guns of Navarone, which was partly shot on the Greek island of Rhodes. It was 1964's Zorba the Greek, however, that truly brought her international stardom; she played a young widow stoned and then killed by her fellow villagers for taking a lover.
Like so many other Greek artists and intellectuals, Papas fled Greece during the right-wing military junta of 1967 to 1974, and lived in exile in Italy and New York.
One of her last roles was in the 2001 World War II film Captain Corelli's Mandolin. In 2018, an announcement said that she had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for five years already.
Papas had a gift for letting her facial expressions speak for her characters' inner lives. In Z, director Costa-Gavras' Oscar-winning 1969 thriller about the Greek junta, Papas — who played the widow of a murdered left-wing politician (Yves Montand) — was hailed as unforgettable in portraying the wife's anguish, even though she uttered few words throughout the entire film.
Papas frequently paired with the Cypriot-born director Michael Cacoyannis, who also directed her in Zorba the Greek. Their collaborations included a string of film versions of classical tragedies, such as 1962's Electra, 1971's The Trojan Women, in which she starred alongside Katharine Hepburn and Vanessa Redgrave, and 1977's Iphigenia.
Along with her screen and stage career, Papas used her archetypally smoky voice to make recordings as a singer alongside two musical giants of Greece: the late composers Mikis Theodorakis and Vangelis. She was the vocalist on the 1972 song "∞ (Infinity)" by the band Aphrodite's Child (co-founded by Vangelis) — a project that some denounced as too overtly sexual.
She married the film director Alkis Papas in 1947, but they divorced four years later. In 1954, she began what she later described as a long relationship with the American actor Marlon Brando, which they kept secret for years, until after Brando's death in 2004. In 1957, however, she married film director Jose Kohn; that marriage was annulled.
In a 1984 interview with Morning Edition, Papas said: "I never thought there was a difference between a dramatic actor and a comic actor. I think there are good actors and bad actors ... I would love one day to play tragedy, and the next day to be a nightclub act. Why not?"

AL KHOR, Qatar (AP) — American soccer writer Grant Wahl was honored with a tribute from FIFA on the desk where he was due to work Saturday at the World Cup quarterfinal match between France and England.
A posy of white lilies and a framed photograph of Wahl taken in Qatar was left at the media seat that had been assigned to the 49-year-old journalist who died at the World Cup in the early hours of Saturday.
“Tonight we pay tribute to Grant Wahl at his assigned seat in Al Bayt Stadium. He should have been here,” FIFA said in a statement. “Our thoughts remain with his wife Céline, his family, and his friends at this most difficult time.”
About 20 minutes before the match started, the photograph of Wahl was displayed on big screens in two corners of the stadium. An announcement about his death was made to fans who applauded him.
Wahl fell ill while working during extra time of the Argentina-Netherlands game on Friday at Lusail Stadium. He was treated by medical staff in the media tribune and later taken by ambulance to the hospital.
He was reporting at his eighth World Cup.

Tesla shouldn’t call driving system Autopilot because humans are still in control, Buttigieg says
WASHINGTON (AP) — Tesla shouldn’t be calling its partially automated driving system Autopilot because the cars can’t drive themselves, the top U.S. transportation official says.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg says he’s concerned about Tesla’s marketing of the system, which is under investigation by his department in connection with crashes that have caused at least 14 deaths.
“I don’t think that something should be called, for example, an Autopilot, when the fine print says you need to have your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road at all times,” Buttigieg said in an interview with The Associated Press.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, an agency within Buttigieg’s department, has sent investigative teams to more than 30 crashes since 2016 in which Teslas suspected of operating on Autopilot or its more sophisticated automated Full Self-Driving system have struck pedestrians, motorcyclists, semi trailers and parked emergency vehicles.
The probes are part of a larger investigation by the NHTSA into multiple instances of Teslas using Autopilot crashing into parked emergency vehicles that are tending to other crashes. The NHTSA has become more aggressive in pursuing safety problems with Teslas in the past year, announcing multiple recalls and investigations.
Tesla, based in Austin, Texas, didn’t immediately return messages left Thursday by the AP seeking comment.
Autopilot can keep a car in its lane and away from vehicles in front of it, while Full Self-Driving can take on most driving tasks. But in each case, Tesla tells owners they must be ready to intervene at all times.
Buttigieg said the Transportation Department will hold Tesla or any other company accountable for complying with federal safety standards. “We call balls and strikes,” he said. “I view it as something where it’s very important to be very objective. But anytime a company does something wrong or a vehicle needs to be recalled or a design isn’t safe, we’re going to be there.”
In the Wednesday interview, Buttigieg said that self-driving vehicles have enormous potential to reduce the nearly 40,000 U.S. roadway deaths that happen each year, a level that he called unacceptable. But he said the technology has not been proven yet. “It’s far from automatic that it’s going to meet that potential,” he said. “That’s what we’re trying to shape here at the Department of Transportation.”
The NHTSA also is looking at Tesla’s Full Self-Driving system. In February, the agency pressured Tesla into recalling nearly 363,000 vehicles with the software because the system can break traffic laws. The problem was to be fixed with an online software update.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said he expects to have fully autonomous vehicles this year, a pledge he has made for several years. “The trend is very clearly toward full self-driving,” Musk said in April. “And I hesitate to say this, but I think we’ll do it this year.”
The system is being tested on public roads by as many as 400,000 Tesla owners. But the NHTSA said in documents that the system can make unsafe actions such as traveling straight through an intersection from a turn-only lane, going through a yellow traffic light without proper caution or failing to respond to speed limit changes.
The NHTSA also has opened investigations during the past three years into Teslas braking suddenly for no reason, suspension problems and other issues.
Buttigieg wouldn’t comment specifically on the pending investigations. “Both outside bodies, states and other regulatory entities on the marketing side, and us from a vehicle safety perspective, are always paying attention,” he said.
No vehicle on sale today can drive itself, he stressed, saying that drivers must pay attention in all cases.
The Justice Department also has asked Tesla for documents about Full Self-Driving and Autopilot.

PARIS (AP) —
Media watchdog Reporters Without Borders along with 14 French media outlets and production companies on Monday called on Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers to release a journalist imprisoned for a month in Kabul.
In a joint statement, RSF and French media said journalist Mortaza Behboudi, with dual French and Afghan citizenship, was arrested on Jan. 7 in the Afghan capital, two days after he arrived in the country as part of a reporting assignment. They said they decided to make the case public after trying in vain for a month to obtain his release.
RSF and French media called on Taliban authorities “to end this senseless situation” and that the “respected and appreciated” journalist was said to be “accused of spying.”
According to the statement, Behboudi, 28, began his career as a photojournalist at the age of 16 in Afghanistan, where he was born. He came as a refugee to Paris at 21 because he had been threatened in his home country and later worked as a freelance journalist for numerous French media.
Behboudi was awarded the Bayeux Prize for War Correspondents last year for a series of reports about life in Afghanistan under the Taliban regime. | 2023-02-07T06:34:51+00:00 | kdvr.com | https://kdvr.com/news/nationalworld-news/ap-international/ap-media-watchdog-urges-release-of-journalist-detained-in-kabul/ |
One year ago, the U.S. Supreme Court rescinded a five-decade-old right to abortion, prompting a seismic shift in debates about politics, values, freedom and fairness.
Twenty-five million women of childbearing age now live in states where the law makes abortions harder to get than they were before the ruling.
Decisions about the law are largely in the hands of state lawmakers and courts. Most Republican-led states have restricted abortion. Fourteen ban abortion in most cases at any point in pregnancy. Twenty Democratic-leaning states have protected access.
Here’s a look at what’s changed since the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling.
LAWS HAVE BEEN ENACTED IN 25 STATES TO BAN OR RESTRICT ABORTION ACCESS
Last summer, as women and medical providers began to navigate a landscape without legal protection for abortion, Nancy Davis’ doctors advised her to terminate her pregnancy because the fetus she was carrying was expected to die soon after birth.
But doctors in Louisiana, where Davis lived, would not provide the abortion due to a new law banning it throughout pregnancy in most cases.
At the same time, abortion opponents who worked for decades to abolish a practice they see as murder cheered the Supreme Court’s Dobbs ruling. Anti-abortion groups said the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion nationwide was undemocratic because it prevented states from enacting bans.
“The Dobbs decision was a democratic victory for life that generations fought for,” said E.V. Osment, a spokeswoman for Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, a major anti-abortion group.
While some states scrambled to pass new restrictions, others already had enacted laws that were designed to take effect if the court overturned Roe.
More than 25 million women ages 15 to 44, or about 2 in 5 nationally, now live in states where there are more restrictions on abortion access than there were before Dobbs.
Davis got help from a fund that raises money for women to travel for abortions and went to New York for a procedure. The whole experience was heartbreaking, she said.
“A mother’s love starts as soon as she knows she’s pregnant. That attachment starts instantly,” she said. “It was days I couldn’t sleep. It was days I couldn’t eat.”
ABORTION ACCESS HAS BEEN PROTECTED IN 20 STATES
As some states restricted abortion, others locked in access. In 25 states, abortion remains generally legal up to at least 24 weeks of pregnancy. Twenty of them have been solidified abortion rights through constitutional amendments or laws.
CHOICES Center for Reproductive Health had for decades treated patients seeking abortions in Memphis, Tennessee. After Tennessee’s abortion ban kicked in last year, the clinic opened an outpost three hours away, in Carbondale, Illinois .
“They’re coming from Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas and even Texas,” said CEO Jennifer Pepper. “But now they’re having to travel much farther.”
THE NUMBER OF ABORTIONS IS NOT CLEAR
With lags and gaps in official reporting, the impact of the Dobbs ruling on the number of abortions is not clear.
A survey conducted for the Society of Family Planning, a nonprofit organization that promotes research and supports abortion access, has found that the number has fallen to nearly zero in states with bans and risen in neighboring states with fewer restrictions, and on balance the number of abortions declining. But the survey does not capture self-managed abortions outside the traditional medical system, usually done with through a two-pill regimen.
Before the Dobbs ruling, pills were already the most common method of abortion in the U.S. Now, there are more networks to provide access to pills in states with abortion bans.
Some abortion opponents are calling for the abortion drug mifepristone to lose its government approval. The Supreme Court has preserved access for now.
LAWSUITS ABOUND
More than 50 lawsuits have been filed over abortion policy since the Dobbs ruling. Many challenges rely on arguments about the rights to personal autonomy or religious freedom. A Texas lawsuit alleges women were denied abortions even when their lives were at risk.
Bans or restrictions are on hold in at least six states while judges sort out their long-term fate. The only states where the top court has permanently rejected restrictions since the Dobbs ruling are Iowa and South Carolina.
CRIMINAL COURTS HAVE NOT BEEN BUSY WITH ABORTION CASES
There’s little evidence that doctors, women, or those who help them get abortions are being prosecuted.
The Mississippi attorney general’s office says no charges have been brought under a new law that calls for up to 10 years in prison for anyone who provides or attempts to provide an abortion in cases where it wasn’t to save the woman’s life or to end a pregnancy caused by rape or incest.
Progressive prosecutors across the country, including in states with bans, have said that they would not pursue abortion-related cases, or that they would make them a low priority.
ABORTION REMAINS A DOMINANT POLITICAL ISSUE
The political table has been reset, with Republicans entering a new election season weighing how to balance the interests of a base that wants the strictest bans possible against the desires of the broader electorate.
Polling has consistently found that most Americans think abortions should be available early in a pregnancy, but that most also favor restrictions later in a pregnancy.
Last year, voters sided with abortion-rights advocates in all six states with abortion-related ballot measures. The issue was also a major factor in why Democrats performed better than expected in 2022 elections.
It’s emerged as a key issue in the race for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.

Givebutter adds 50+ strategic investors to further its mission to power the next billion changemakers.
WASHINGTON, June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Givebutter, a product-led company that developed the first free operating system for nonprofit fundraising, announced today that it has completed a seed funding round totaling $7 million. The new funding will allow the company to accelerate its pace of innovation across a wide range of free fundraising tools, including donation forms, campaigns, events, donor management (CRM), emails, texting, and a new auction solution launching later this year.
This recent investment in Givebutter comes at a critical time for nonprofits. Society is more generous than ever, with the "Changemaker Generation" collectively powering $471B in donations in 2020, making it the most charitable year on record. Early reports suggest that 2021 was even greater. Despite this unprecedented generosity and push for social change, nonprofits continue to face economic challenges stemming from the pandemic and other macro events. In today's progressive but uncertain climate, having low-cost and effective fundraising tools to empower digitally-native changemakers has never been more critical.
"At Givebutter, we believe that giving is essential to human happiness," said Max Friedman, CEO and Co-Founder of Givebutter. "That's why we are building world-class software that's free for nonprofits and easy for donors. No matter how you choose to give, our mission is to inspire and empower you to do so. I'm proud to have investors who share this vision and excited to see what we will accomplish together."
After seeing over a million changemakers raise $300 million+ in donations using its platform during the past two years, Givebutter achieved a rare feat amongst startups: profitable, sustainable growth. With many tech valuations down more than 50% this year, Givebutter's profitable growth story is an outlier that has attracted notable investors from bootstrapped companies such as Calendly, Mailchimp, and Zapier.
"Givebutter is a rare breed in today's startup world, reminding me of the early days of Calendly," said Tope Awotona, CEO and Founder of Calendly. "They are profitable, mission-driven, customer-obsessed, and entirely bootstrapped to this point. I'm excited to see what their team can accomplish with more capital to put to work."
The $7 million seed round was made possible by 50+ value-add founders, operators, and funds, including but not limited to Ardent Venture Partners, Hyper, Tope Awotona (Calendly), Shahed Khan (Loom), Jenny Bloom (Mailchimp, Zapier), Elena Gomez (Toast), Geof Barker (Smartsheet), Shreyas Doshi (Twitter, Stripe), David Cummings (Pardot, SalesLoft, Calendly), Jon Hallett (BetterCloud), Sam Parr, Shaan Puri, Sahil Bloom, Julian Shapiro, Allen Gannett, and Jay Love. Along with the new capital, Givebutter welcomed Phil Bronner, Co-Founder at Ardent Venture Partners, to its Board of Directors as a Board Observer.
"The magic in a product-led growth company is its product, and Givebutter's large, passionate community of customers loves its product," said Phil Bronner, Co-Founder at Ardent Venture Partners. "The company's do-it-yourself platform and completely free model enabled by embedded financial services allow it to serve even the smallest changemakers, unlocking a massive market opportunity."
Givebutter was also recently accepted into the second cohort of Hyper, a prestigious new startup accelerator backed by Sequoia and Andreessen Horowitz focused on distribution, community, mentorship, talent, and funding.
Givebutter is the #1 rated fundraising platform on G2, powering $300m+ in donations for more than a million changemakers worldwide. Nonprofits use Givebutter to replace multiple categories of tools, including donation forms, fundraisers, events, donor management (CRM), email, texting, and more. Instead of charging a traditional SaaS subscription fee, Givebutter is completely free to use with a 100% transparent tip-or-fee model. Givebutter has been certified as a Great Place to Work in 2021 and 2022, and its founders Max Friedman, Liran Cohen, and Ari Krasner were recently featured on Forbes' 30U30 list for Social Impact.

(NewsNation) — Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, doubled down on his recent controversial comments during a Monday appearance on “CUOMO,” saying he doesn’t “believe in” the term antisemitic and that the music industry today is “modern day slavery.”
Twitter and Instagram previously suspended Ye after he posted threatening comments about Jewish people on the social media platforms. Cuomo questioned Ye if it’s possible that his words violated the apps’ guidelines. Ye responded: “I don’t believe in that term … I classify as Jew also, so I actually can’t be an antisemite.”
Cuomo countered Ye’s antisemitc comments saying “I know you are intelligent and understand that when you target people because of their faith, other people may do so the same … We don’t want to tolerate that.”
Ye responded: “I don’t have to understand or accept because they’re not willing to understand or accept. That’s the reason why I’m not backing down.”
Ye is set to acquire the conservative social media platform Parler. The app’s parent company, Parlement Technologies, made the announcement Monday morning, stating they are “pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement in principle for Ye to acquire the Parler platform.”
When asked why he wants to buy the app, Ye told Cuomo said that “people are using their technology to silo any messaging that they don’t agree with.”
Amy Peikoff, head of policy and legal for Parler, said during a Monday appearance on “Dan Abrams Live” that the deal is moving fast.
“He wants to use his money to help create a noncancelable space where people can exercise their rights to free thought and free expression. He shares those values with us.” In policy, Parler is not a right-leaning platform, according to Peikoff. The app is a nonpartisan platform that has attracted “right-wingers.” | 2022-10-19T10:33:11+00:00 | myfox8.com | https://myfox8.com/news/entertainment/cuomo-ye-discuss-stars-antisemitic-remarks-full-interview/ |
GENEVA (AP) — Swiss cyclist Gino Mäder died Friday, one day after crashing and falling down a ravine during a descent at the Tour de Suisse, the Bahrain-Victorious team said.
The 26-year-old Mäder crashed on a fast downhill road approaching the end of the mountainous fifth stage into La Punt.
“Gino lost his battle to recover from the severe injuries he sustained,” the team said in a statement. “Despite the best efforts of the phenomenal staff at Chur hospital, Gino couldn’t make it through this, his final and biggest challenge, and at 11:30 a.m. we said goodbye to one of the shining lights of our team.”
Medical staff who reached Mäder found him motionless in water. They performed CPR before he was airlifted to the hospital.
“Our entire team is devastated by this tragic accident, and our thoughts and prayers are with Gino’s family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time,” Bahrain-Victorious said.
The Tour de Suisse is a preparation race ahead of next month’s Tour de France.
Mäder’s death was announced about 30 minutes before the scheduled start of the sixth stage in the eight-day race. The start was delayed and riders gathered in a silent tribute before the stage was canceled.
Race organizers said the peloton would ride together in tribute to Mäder for the final 30 kilometers (18 miles) of Friday’s scheduled route. The race should resume Saturday.
“Devastated by the news,” said world champion Remco Evenepoel, who is in fourth place in the race standings. “My heart and strength is with Gino’s family, friends, teammates.”
Evenepoel earlier criticized Thursday’s stage after finishing the day in 10th place.
“While a summit finish would have been perfectly possible, it wasn’t a good decision to let us finish down this dangerous descent,” Evenepoel wrote on his Twitter account. “As riders, we should also think about the risks we take going down a mountain.”
A second rider also crashed at the same spot. Magnus Sheffield of the United States sustained a concussion and bruises and was treated at a local hospital.
In previous incidents, Belgian rider Wouter Weylandt was killed in a crash on a descent at the Giro in May 2011. Another Belgian rider, Antoine Demoitié, died after crashing at the one-day Gent-Wevelgem race in March 2016.
Mäder was one of Switzerland’s best young riders. He won a stage at the 2021 Giro d’Italia and placed fifth overall in the Spanish Vuelta that year. He also was fifth in the Paris-Nice stage race in March.
“We are heartbroken,” Tour de Suisse organizers said in a statement. “Gino, you’ve been an excellent rider but even more a wonderful person. Always smiling and making people happy around you.”
Mäder was asked on Sunday by a reporter at the race finish what would make him happy at the end of the week-long race.
“If I’m still healthy and I enjoy my home race, maybe have some success with the team,” Mäder had said.
Team manager Milan Erzen praised the rider, saying his “talent, dedication, and enthusiasm were an inspiration to us all.”
“Not only was he an extremely talented cyclist,” Erzen said, “but a great person off the bike.”

Jill Biden makes 6th visit to Africa, her 1st as first lady
WINDHOEK, Namibia (AP) — U.S. first lady Jill Biden opened a five-day, two-day visit to Africa on Wednesday during which she will focus on empowering women and youth and highlight food insecurity in the Horn of Africa region.
Dancers representing Namibia’s different ethnic groups, some wearing red, white and blue, others dressed in bright pink, greeted her with singing and dancing. The country has not welcomed a high-level U.S. official since 1996. The first lady’s trip is part of a commitment by President Joe Biden to deepen U.S. engagement with the fast-growing region.
She and Monica Geingos, Namibia’s first lady, embraced on the tarmac before Jill Biden greeted waiting U.S and Namibian diplomatic and government officials. She is accompanied by her granddaughter Naomi Biden.
Her first stop after arriving was a 45-minute drive south of the capital of Windhoek, to lay a wreath at Heroes’ Acre, Namibia’s official war memorial. She also met with President Hage Geingob and his wife at the State House.
It’s Jill Biden’s sixth time in Africa, but her first visit as first lady. She is following in the footsteps of her recent predecessors, who all made the trip across the Atlantic Ocean in the name of trying to help foster goodwill toward the United States.
During five days split between Namibia, located along the Atlantic coast in southern Africa, and Kenya, in the east, Jill Biden will focus on empowering women and young people, and highlight food insecurity in the Horn of Africa caused by a devastating drought, Russia’s war in Ukraine and other factors.
As she departed Washington on Tuesday, the first lady declared, “We have a lot to accomplish.”
Africa is the fastest-growing and youngest region in the world, according to the White House, which says 1 of every 4 people in the world will be African by 2050.
The White House has withheld specific details of the first lady’s activities in each country, citing security concerns.
Jill Biden previously visited Africa in 2010, 2011, twice in 2014 and once in 2016, all during Joe Biden’s service as U.S. vice president. Two of those trips were with him.
This time, she is traveling to Africa without the president as he wraps up his own trip to Poland to mark Friday’s anniversary of Russia’s aggression toward Ukraine.
Patricia Nixon was the first first lady to travel to Africa on her own. She went as President Richard Nixon’s “personal representative” to Liberia, Ghana and the Ivory Coast in 1972. She addressed legislative bodies and met with African leaders about U.S. policy toward the country now known as Zimbabwe, and human rights in South Africa, according to the National First Ladies’ Library.
What recent first ladies did on their visits to Africa:
MELANIA TRUMP
Mrs. Trump visited for the first time in 2018, when she spent five days as first lady stopping in Ghana, Malawi, Kenya and Egypt to promote U.S. developmental aid and education, cradle babies and highlight animal and historic preservation.
She traveled without President Donald Trump, who had denied making disparaging comments about African countries.
She opened the trip at an infant clinic in Ghana. She also learned about Africa’s slave past during a tour of Cape Coast Castle, a former slave holding facility on the Ghanaian coast. She spent time inside the cramped dungeon once used to house male slaves and walked through the “Door of No Return,” from which the slaves were shipped to the New World.
In Malawi, the former model toured indoor and outdoor classrooms, observed lessons and watched students play soccer with U.S.-donated balls. She highlighted elephant preservation at Nairobi National Park in Kenya. She closed the tour in Egypt by touring the pyramids and the Great Sphinx to highlight U.S.-supported preservation efforts there.
MICHELLE OBAMA
Mrs. Obama went to South Africa and Botswana on a goodwill mission in the summer of 2011 to promote youth leadership, education and HIV and AIDS awareness.
The centerpiece of the weeklong trip by America’s first Black first lady was a 30-minute speech at a U.S.-sponsored leadership conference at a church in Soweto township. THe church became a popular refuge during the South African people’s fight against apartheid, the now-abolished system of government-imposed segregation.
She was accompanied by her daughters, Malia and Sasha; her mother, Marian Robinson; and a niece and nephew. Mrs. Obama also took her daughters to visit with former South African President Nelson Mandela at his home.
Mrs. Obama made a second solo visit to Africa in June 2016, the final year of the Obama administration. In Liberia and Morocco, she promoted her “Let Girls Learn” initiative to encourage developing countries to educate girls.
She also visited Ghana with President Barack Obama in 2009, his first year in office.
LAURA BUSH
Mrs. Bush traveled to Africa five times on her own between 2005 and 2007 during President George W. Bush’s second term, in addition to two trips she took with him.
Her trips mostly focused on promoting the administration’s efforts to combat the spread of HIV, as well as malaria. She also emphasized literacy, drug prevention and national parks. During one stop in South Africa, she praised HIV-positive mothers for working to erase the stigma associated with the disease. She spoke openly with African women about taking control of their sex lives.
Mrs. Bush also announced millions of dollars in U.S. funding for programs to stem the spread of AIDS and mosquito-borne malaria. In Mozambique, she covered her face with a white mask to help illustrate the benefits of spraying homes with insecticides to combat malaria. She also passed out mosquito nets.
She was accompanied on these trips by one or both of her twin daughters, Barbara and Jenna.
HILLARY CLINTON
Hillary Clinton took along her 17-year-old daughter, Chelsea, on her two-week visit in March 1997 to Senegal, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Uganda and Eritrea.
The first lady opened her journey at Goree Island in Senegal, a hub for the Atlantic slave trade for 300 years. Mrs. Clinton had said she wanted to see the island because of its significance to Black Americans. She discussed violent crime in South Africa, along with the need to improve education for Black people in a country that recently had abolished its apartheid policy of racial segregation.
Mrs. Clinton returned in 1998 when President Bill Clinton made his first visit to Africa; it was also the first visit to the continent by a U.S. president in 20 years.
The White House billed the 12-day tour of Ghana, Rwanda, Uganda, South Africa, Botswana and Senegal as a way to encourage trade and investment in Africa.

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Hundreds of state employees in Virginia have resigned from their jobs amid the start of a new telework policy.
On May 5, Gov. Glenn Youngkin updated the telework policy for all state employees to begin working in-person full-time by July 5, a change the governor’s office stressed would provide “options for and supports the use of telework where appropriate.” Youngkin said it would help “balance the demands of government services with the needs of our public servants.”
Nexstar’s WRIC learned more than 300 state employees resigned since this new telework policy was announced in early May. Employees were given two weeks to submit their telework applications.
WRIC discovered that 28 out of 183 Virginia Department of Transportation workers who left their positions have cited telework options as their reason for leaving. Two VDOT workers who listed telework as the reason did move to another state agency, records obtained by WRIC after filing a Freedom of Information Act request show.
Since May, the Virginia Department of Health had 78 resignations and the Virginia Employment Commission had 37 resignations from May 5 to June 27. Virginia’s Department of Housing and Community Development had seven resignations from May 5 to July 6 and Virginia’s Department of Emergency Management had six resignations from May 4 to July 7.
Most of the departments did not provide reasons for the resignations, but the Department of Housing shared that 29 former workers cited “Better Job,” three said “Dissatisfied,” six cited “Home Responsibilities,” two listed “Illness,” seven said they were leaving the area, three cited “School” and 27 listed “Other” as the reason.
Some employees said they are concerned with losing the flexibility that comes with telework. Others also raised concerns about the increasing cost of travel and trouble arranging childcare.
VGEA, a volunteer, nonpartisan organization that advocates for Virginia state employees, surveyed its members and the results showed that some felt the policy was rushed, confusing and inefficient.
State employees were given two weeks to submit telework applications and the administration set a June 3 deadline to review all of the requests, but Youngkin missed that goal. The governor’s office told WRIC that some agencies received an overwhelming amount of requests and some workers submitted applications late. Still, the July 5 back-to-work deadline remained in place.
There are more than 21,000 state employees eligible for telework and 46% of those workers chose a telework option. Youngkin’s office told WRIC in a FOIA response that as of July 7, there were at least 1,500 final applications.
It’s unclear how many state workers returned to the office when the deadline hit Tuesday. | 2022-07-10T17:08:34+00:00 | cenlanow.com | https://www.cenlanow.com/national/hundreds-of-virginia-state-employees-resign-amid-new-policy-to-bring-them-back-to-the-office/ |
PHOENIX (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs welcomed two new fans to the world on Super Bowl Sunday with a third apparently on the way.
Chiefs offensive lineman Nick Allegretti’s wife, Christina, gave birth in the early hours to twin girls back home in Chicago, a team official confirmed to The Associated Press. Allegretti was able to watch everything unfold on FaceTime from the lobby of the team hotel while the rest of the Chiefs slept ahead of their game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Allegretti, who has started three games this season, will be available for the Chiefs in the big game.
About the same time his wife was giving birth, Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman tweeted that his girlfriend, Chariah Gordeon, had gone into labor. Hardman went on injured reserve this week and was not available to play in the game.
There are plenty of Eagles on baby watch, too.
Starting center Jason Kelce, whose brother Travis is a tight end for Kansas City, and his wife are expecting their third child at any moment. In fact, Kylie Kelce, who is 38 weeks pregnant, has said that her obstetricians would be on hand at State Farm Stadium on Sunday should the baby make a dramatic appearance during the game.
“We haven’t talked too much game plan if it happens during the Super Bowl,” Jason Kelce said, “but I like to think my wife will not tell me. And just find a way to hold off, hopefully ’til after the game for the actual delivery.
“You know, we’re going to have her OB with her here. Our parents are coming along on the trip so she won’t be alone,” Kelce said, “but I think if it happens during the game, just don’t even — don’t even put that in my head please.”
Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson had that happen to him just last year.
After helping Los Angeles beat the Cincinnati Bengals to win the Lombardi Trophy, Jefferson learned that his wife, Samaria, had gone into labor and was taken out of the stadium on a stretcher. Jefferson bolted from the postgame celebration with his father, former NFL player Shawn Jefferson, and made it to the hospital to meet his son.
The couple appropriately named him Champ.

Warner Bros. Discovery is sticking with safe bet franchises that will likely lure viewers, including a “Harry Potter” series and a “Game of Thrones” prequel for its rebranded Max streaming service.
Executives touted Max and made original Warner Bros. Discovery programming announcements on Wednesday during a presentation for journalists and investors. The $16-per-month service will be released May 23 in the U.S. and automatically replace the company’s existing HBO Max.
The “Harry Potter” series is described as a “faithful retelling” of the books about the boy wizard by J. K Rowling, featuring a new cast.
Each season is intended to focus on one of the seven books, though Max anticipates stretching the series to a decade-long run.
Max also announced it is has also ordered a “Game of Thrones” prequel called “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight,” set in Westeros 100 years prior to the events of “Game of Thrones.” It’s based on fantasy novellas by George R. R. Martin, which follow the adventures of a knight named Ser Duncan the Tall (known as Dunk) and Aegon V Targaryen (called Egg). Martin will serve as an executive producer and writer on the series alongside Ira Parker.
“House of the Dragon” also a “Game of Thrones” prequel, has begun production on its second season for HBO.
Other announcements included a series based on the Penguin character in “The Batman”, which is now in production with Colin Farrell resuming his role and another comedy set in the “Big Bang Theory” universe from Chuck Lorrie, both for Max. | 2023-04-13T15:31:58+00:00 | wivb.com | https://www.wivb.com/entertainment-news/game-of-thrones-prequel-and-harry-potter-series-are-a-go/ |
DeSantis eyes 2024 from afar as GOP rivals move toward runs
Des Moines, Iowa – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis may be months away from publicly declaring his presidential intentions, but his potential rivals aren't holding back.
No fewer than a half dozen Republicans eyeing the White House have begun actively courting top political operatives in states like New Hampshire and Iowa, which traditionally host the opening presidential primary contests. At the same time, former President Donald Trump, the only announced candidate in the race, is launching regular attacks against DeSantis – and others – while locking down key staff and endorsements in early voting South Carolina.
For now, DeSantis is plowing forward with a fiery “anti-woke” agenda in the legislature before a presidential announcement in late spring or early summer. His team is beginning to hold informal conversations with a handful of prospective campaign staff in key states, according to those involved in the discussions. But compared with would-be rivals, the Florida governor, famous for crafting his own political strategy, appears to be stepping into the 2024 presidential primary season much more deliberately.
“They understand they are in kind of a sweet spot now. They can feel the demand building and they don’t really have to show any leg yet,” said David Kochel, a veteran Republican operative who has been in touch with DeSantis’ team to relay interest from activists. “I just don’t think there’s any urgency yet to start putting things in place.”
For voters, it may seem early in the 2024 presidential election season. But by historical standards, it is not. The GOP's opening presidential primary debates are just six months away, expected in late July or early August when the Republican National Committee holds its summer meeting in Milwaukee.
Already, Trump has been in the race for more than two months. The former president on Saturday released a list of high-profile supporters in South Carolina, including Gov. Henry McMaster and Sen. Lindsay Graham. And on Feb. 15, Nikki Haley, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, is set to launch her own White House bid in South Carolina, followed by immediate appearances in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Haley is among a half dozen Republican prospects in various levels of conversations with political operatives in New Hampshire and Iowa about job openings, according to people involved with the discussions who requested anonymity to discuss internal planning. Beyond Haley, they include former Vice President Mike Pence, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson.
Hogan, a term-limited governor who left office only two weeks ago, talked up his executive experience in multiple New Hampshire radio interviews on Thursday. He told The Associated Press he was launching a multi-day fundraising tour beginning this weekend in DeSantis' Florida.
“There’s plenty of room for Trump and DeSantis and me in the same state,” Hogan said with a laugh. “Everybody says it’s Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis. But I think it might be somebody that nobody’s talking about right now, which is what usually happens. … My argument is the frontrunners almost never win.”
Indeed, recent political history is littered with tales of seemingly strong early contenders who ultimately failed. They include the likes of former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who looked like a frontrunner in 2015 and was forced out of the race before the first voting contest. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush then emerged as the strong favorite before being overtaken by Trump.
Veteran Republican strategist Ari Fleischer recalled the 2000 presidential campaign when his then-boss, Texas Gov. George W. Bush, successfully waited until mid-June to enter the Republican presidential primary. In the months before the announcement, Bush aggressively worked behind the scenes to line up donors, staff and endorsements.
For DeSantis to adopt a similar winning playbook, Fleischer said, it's critical to work now to assemble a strong campaign apparatus in private. He likened a successful strategy at this phase to a duck, who appears calm but is paddling hard just below the water’s surface.
“So long as (DeSantis) is paddling furiously underwater like a duck, he can afford to wait,” Fleischer said. “The amount of work it takes to build a presidential campaign is phenomenal. I don’t think people understand what’s involved unless they’ve done it. It’s brutal. … And if you don’t put the labor into it quietly, privately, it falls apart.”
DeSantis' team declined to comment on his 2024 plans publicly, but the Florida governor's allies expect him to enter the race in late June or early July.
In the short-term, he's preparing to promote his upcoming book, “The Courage to be Free,” set for release on Feb. 28. And he'll spend much of the coming months stacking up legislative victories in the Florida statehouse, where the Republican supermajority stands ready to deliver a bevy of measures sure to entice the most conservative voters in a GOP presidential primary.
In recent days, DeSantis said he's backing new laws that would ban abortions after 6 weeks of conception, ease restrictions for those wishing to carry concealed firearms and end the state’s unanimous jury requirement for death penalty cases. He released a plan to end sales taxes on gas stoves, picking up on a false claim circulating on the right that the Biden administration plans to ban the appliance.
DeSantis is also asking the state legislature for an additional $12 million to relocate unwanted migrants, signaling a continued focus on illegal immigration after spending millions in Florida taxpayer dollars to fly migrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard last year.
And he's zeroing in on issues related to race and education. He installed a conservative majority on the board of trustees at a small liberal arts school and has debuted a proposal to block programs on diversity, education and inclusion from state colleges. At the same institutions, he would also ban programs on critical race theory, which centers on the idea that racism is systemic in the nation’s institutions, which function to maintain the dominance of white people in society.
In the coming days, DeSantis is expected to declare victory in his battle against Disney, the state's largest employer, which drew the governor's ire after opposing the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law. State lawmakers are expected to meet for a special session as soon as next week to complete a takeover of a self-governing district Disney controls over its properties in Florida, all at DeSantis’ request.
As DeSantis focuses on Florida's statehouse, Trump has dramatically escalated his attacks on the man he and his aides see as, by far, his most concerning rival. But as other Republicans prepare to enter the race, Trump is also attacking them.
For example, in a Thursday interview with conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt, Trump described Haley in sexist terms as “overly ambitious,” noting that she once vowed not to seek the presidency in 2024 if Trump was also running.
“She’s a very ambitious person. She just couldn’t stay in her seat,” Trump said.
In the same interview, he also criticized DeSantis, claiming he cried while asking for Trump's endorsement during the 2018 governor's race.
“DeSantis got elected because of me. You remember he had nothing. He was dead. He was leaving the race. He came over and he begged me, begged me for an endorsement,” Trump said. “He said, ‘If you endorse me, I’ll win.’ And there were tears coming down from his eyes.”
DeSantis has largely avoided responding to Trump’s digs. And without a campaign apparatus, he doesn't have a rapid response team or surrogate operation designed to engage with 2024-related fire.
But earlier this week, he seemed to be knocking Trump – at least, indirectly – when asked about the former governor's repeated attacks.
“The good thing is, is that the people are able to render a judgment on that whether they re-elect you or not," DeSantis said when asked about Trump, who lost his 2020 reelection.

New Mexico police: Planned attack led to university shooting
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico investigators say a University of New Mexico student conspired with two other students and a teenage girl to lure a visiting New Mexico State University basketball player onto campus, leading to a shootout that left the UNM student dead and the player wounded.
The investigation into the shooting early Saturday continued Monday, with New Mexico State Police confirming that they arrested and charged the teen with aggravated battery and conspiracy. It was too early to say whether others would face charges.
Police identified Brandon Travis as the University of New Mexico student who was fatally shot and accused of planning the assault on Mike Peake, the starting power forward for the Aggies basketball team. Police have identified the other two students, but their names have not been released.
The shooting in Albuquerque happened hours before the scheduled tipoff of a basketball game between the rival schools, which was later postponed. It was not clear if the game would be rescheduled or if a Dec. 3 matchup in Las Cruces would go on as scheduled.
New Mexico State Police said an altercation between Travis, 19, and Peake led to the shooting. They said Travis had plotted with his friends “to lure the 21-year-old victim to UNM campus and assault him.” How and why they initially crossed paths remained unclear.
“Once at the campus, Travis, armed with a firearm, confronted and shot the victim. The victim, who also had a firearm, shot Travis,” authorities said in a statement issued Sunday.
The teen girl and Travis’ friends fled the scene outside a dormitory at UNM’s Albuquerque campus.
Peake was listed in stable condition at a hospital.
New Mexico State University officials confirmed Monday that the player was Peake, a Chicago native who spent most of high school playing in Kansas before signing with Georgia and then transferring to Austin Peay State University. He came to NMSU for the 2021-22 season.
New Mexico State University Chancellor Dan E. Arvizu said in a statement it was important that “no one rush to judgment until all the facts are made available.”
The shooting came six days after a former University of Virginia football player allegedly killed three Cavaliers football players and wounded two other students on the Charlottesville campus before being arrested.
New Mexico State University officials said no students are allowed to have any weapons on university property or at university sponsored activities, and that doing so is a violation of the student code of conduct. They noted that players’ bags will be searched in the future when they board the bus for road trips.
University officials also said they have become aware of other student athletes who violated team curfew rules during the trip to Albuquerque, but those student athletes were not part of the incident.
After dinner, the team had returned to the hotel and watched video footage from 10:30 to 11:30 p.m. to prepare for the game. Bed checks were done at 11:45 p.m., and officials said all student athletes were in their rooms at that time. An assistant coach was present in the hotel lobby from midnight until 2 a.m., they said.

Which essential tool for cutting a rabbet joint or dado joint is best?
Although they have fancy names, dados and rabbets are strong, accessible joints that every level of woodworker can use. A dado is a simple flat-bottomed channel that receives and supports shelves or panels, while a rabbet is a one-sided dado cut into the edge of your material. Dados and rabbets are the foundational elements of traditional cabinetry and casework, and they’re a great way to add strength, avoid bulky hardware and enhance visual appeal.
If you’re relatively new to these types of joints, you may find the number of ways you can create them overwhelming. It’s hard to keep track of what tools you need for which method. Thankfully, there are useful products for the two most common methods of making dado and rabbet joints.
What you need to get started
There are some key tools you’re going to need, regardless of the method you choose. As with all woodworking projects, you’re going to need a measuring tape. Another must-have is a good set of clamps, such as the Bessey Economy clutch-style clamp — it strikes the perfect balance between quality and price. Lastly, you’re going to need wood glue to create the joint.
Everything you need to make a dado or rabbet on a table saw
The most common way of making dado or rabbet cuts is with a table saw. However, there are still multiple ways you can make these joints on a table saw. If you don’t make dado and rabbet joints often, consider using the single-blade method. On the other hand, if you make these joints frequently, purchase an adjustable dado stack.
DeWALT 10-Inch Jobsite Table Saw
This 10-inch table saw is capable of handling professional projects without taking up too much space. It comes with a convenient wheeled stand, rack and pinion telescoping fence, dust collection port and adjustable throat plate. This saw is more than ready to help you dial in your dado and rabbet joints.
Sold by Amazon
DeWALT 8 1/4-Inch Compact Jobsite Table Saw
If you’re making your first foray into fine furniture or cabinetry or don’t want to spend a lot of money, this table saw is right for you. With an 8.25-inch blade and all the essential features, this table saw can handle heavy-duty DIY tasks easily. Plus, when it’s not in use, you can slip it on a shelf or under a bed without worrying.

Made from premium TiCo hi-density carbide steel, this adjustable dado stack is designed for endless crosscuts. These blades also feature a silver I.C.E. coating that prevents debris from building up in the blade, keeping it cool and clean during prolonged use. These blades fit standard arbors and all you need to use them on the saw is a dado-appropriate throat plate.
Sold by Amazon
Everything you need to make a dado or rabbet with a router
Using a router is another popular method of making a dado or rabbet. However, routers are a more advanced tool than most table saws and aren’t as common among DIYers. Nonetheless, there are numerous ways to use a router to make a dado or rabbet. The main thing to remember is to keep your router level and smooth as you move across the material.
DeWALT DWP611 Variable Speed Router
This 1.25 horsepower router packs a lot of power despite its compact nature. With variable speed, a fixed base, adjustable bit depth and two workspace LEDs, the DWP611 is versatile and precise. Whether you want to use your own guides and do it by hand or attach it to a router table for increased consistency, the DWP611 can handle whatever you throw at it.
Sold by Amazon
Kreg PRS1045 Router Table System
Although a router table isn’t essential for the router method to work, if you’re concerned about precision, this bundle is for you. With self-squaring technology and a robust fence, this router table makes cutting professional-quality dados and rabbets a breeze.
Sold by Amazon
Top-bearing flush trim bits, or straight bits as they’re known colloquially, attach to your router and use a guide bearing and flat cutter to create a flat-bottomed channel in your material. You can use these bits on a router table for rabetting fairly easily, although it’s not recommended for making dados unless you’re comfortable removing the fence. As long as you keep the base of your router flat to the material, you can get similar results to the table.
Sold by Amazon
This miniature hand plane is great for creating a perfectly flat surface after using a router to hog out most of the material. Although it’s affordable, this plane has a precision ground cutter that reduces chatter and layered steel blades that work with one another to produce precise, clean shavings with each pass. If you’re unsure about using a handheld router but don’t want to invest in a router table, this is an excellent alternative.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. is sending an additional $275 million in military aid to Ukraine, including large amounts of ammunition and high-tech systems that can be used to detect and counter drones in its ongoing war with Russia, according to U.S. officials.its ongoing war with Russia, according to U.S. officials.
The total aid amount is smaller than most of the recent packages the U.S. has delivered, and it comes as many military officials and experts predict a reduction in attacks during the winter. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Russia appears to be slowing its military activities to regroup and launch a new offensive when the weather warms.
The officials said the latest package of aid includes 80,000 rounds of ammunition for howitzers and an undisclosed amount of ammunition for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, known as HIMARS. It also includes systems to counter drones and air defenses, along with more HUMVEES, generators and other combat equipment. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the aid package prior to its public release, which is expected Friday.
Drone attacks by both sides have been increasing, making detection of the unmanned explosives critical for Ukrainian forces. Russia bought hundreds of attack drones from Iran over the summer, and officials said this week that Moscow is looking to do more of the same.
Russian forces have increasingly targeted Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure including power plants, leaving thousands without heat and electricity as the winter months set in.
In addition, several recent drone attacks struck two strategic Russian air bases more than 500 kilometers (300 miles) from the Ukraine border early this week. Moscow blamed Ukraine, which didn’t claim responsibility.
Including the latest aid, the U.S. has now committed more than $19.3 billion in weapons and other equipment to Ukraine since Russia attacked on Feb. 24. The aid will be provided through presidential drawdown authority, which allows the Pentagon to take weapons from its own stocks and quickly ship them to Ukraine. | 2022-12-09T20:54:26+00:00 | ourquadcities.com | https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/politics/ap-politics/ap-us-sending-275-million-in-military-aid-to-ukraine/ |
During the last International Business Matchmaking Forum, an event organized in Houston by the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Tourism of Colombia and ProColombia —the country's promotion agency— business appointments were made between 215 Colombian companies, of which 76% (164 companies) were MSMEs, and 118 international buyers from 15 countries, with the Americans being the true protagonists.
HOUSTON, Nov. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ProColombia's business forum, held on-site in Houston, Texas, on November 9th and 10th, and complemented by a virtual program of business appointments the following days, has ended, leaving opportunities for both buyers and exporters of over $6.2 million in immediate sales, in sectors such as agri-business, chemicals and life sciences, manufacturing industries, textiles and apparel, and BPO, software & IT services. There is a total expectation of $67 million that alongside the immediate sales will generate a grand total of $73.4 million, making the business forum a success.
From innovative products such as dried fruits, frozen snacks, collagen drinks, and lollipops made with natural pulp, to apparel, underwear, shapewear, furniture, auto parts, packaging products, and technological services, 215 exporters coming from 17 departments of the country have shown international buyers that Colombia is the perfect ally to supply high-quality products and services promptly.
The sectors with the highest business expectations were agri-business, consumer and industrial goods and BPO, software and IT services. Amongst the 17 participating Colombian departments, Cundinamarca, Valle del Cauca and Antioquia had the higher business expectations. The departments of Boyacá, Cauca and Meta also had outstanding business expectations.
"Colombia has been exporting to the United States for over 50 years, and we have consolidated added-value goods, both for the Americans and our national economy. We have also diversified our exportable offer in all sectors and industries, and these events are the perfect scenario for showcasing our different products and services", said Carmen Caballero Villa, President of ProColombia.
"This translates into more and better opportunities for small and middle-size companies and allows Colombia to achieve its goals of environmental, economic justice and total peace for our people and our territories. Hence, we invite US and international companies to consider the immense advantages that doing business with Colombian entrepreneurs of all sizes offers both sides," Caballero added.
The participating Colombian companies Bendito (Riosucio), Forsa (Caloto), Muskox (Valledupar) and Virutex (Caloto) are from PDET municipalities. PDET (Territorially Focused Development Programs) is a special 15-year planning and management instrument that seeks to stabilize and transform the Colombian territories most affected by violence and poverty to achieve rural development. Their participation in the forum represents growth and development opportunities for vulnerable regions of Colombia.
For Colombian exporters such as Javier Gantiva, Founder and CEO of the company Apícola Campo Verde located in Meta, an emergent region of the country, who sells 100% bee natural honey "participating for the first time in the Business Matchmaking Forum allows me to fill my head with possibilities so that our project and our community can overcome multiple challenges. Being here allows me to get new clients we did not have in mind, which can open our way in a market as big as the United States".
Why Colombia?
High quality, diversity, closeness to the US market, creativity, sustainability, social impact, and good service are among the words used by American buyers to describe the Colombian offer they could see during the business conference.
Such is the case of David Adalto, Sourcing Manager, in the categories of frozen fruit, dry fruit, canned beans, breakfast items, and cleaning chemicals for H-E-B Grocery. "This has been a great opportunity to meet suppliers with the passion for providing to me what sounds like the best quality product with an open mind and an open heart, looking for a partnership, looking for an opportunity to be in a great retailer like HEB and showcase their items to make Colombians proud of saying: look what we have done, look what we have accomplished," he said.
On the other hand, Daniel Stein, Supply Chain Manager of the company MSJ packaging, said, "Before this ProColombia expo, we knew very little about the capabilities Colombia has to offer, and we've been very impressed by the depth and variety of the suppliers that came to this event. I really do feel that Colombia is the frontier for new discovery as far as products and availability in the western hemisphere".

Ex-UCLA student linked to extremists gets Jan. 6 prison term
WASHINGTON (AP) — A former UCLA student who stormed the U.S. Capitol while waving a flag promoting a far-right extremist movement was sentenced on Wednesday to three years and six months in prison for his role in a mob’s attack on the building.
U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden also sentenced Christian Secor, 24, of Costa Mesa, California, to three years of supervised release after his prison term, court records show.
Secor was a follower of “America First” movement leader Nicholas Fuentes, “a public figure known for making racist statements, celebrating fascism, and promoting white supremacy,” a prosecutor wrote in a court filing. Fuentes spread false information about the 2020 presidential election and used Twitter to champion the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021, the filing says.
Fuentes, a livestreaming internet personality whose supporters are known as “Groypers,” was outside the Capitol on Jan. 6 but hasn’t been accused of entering the building that day or been charged with any riot-related crimes. In 2017, Fuentes was a Boston University student when he attended a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, that erupted in violence.
Secor entered the Capitol while carrying a blue flag with the white letters “AF” and wearing a hat bearing the same “AF” emblem. At UCLA, Secor was president of America First Bruins.
Secor had access to a privately manufactured “ghost gun” and other weapons, “all while supporting political violence,” wrote Kimberly Paschall, an assistant U.S. attorney. The night before his arrest, Secor and an associate exchanged text messages regarding “ultra secret” “future operations,” the prosecutor said.
“Secor’s history of adhering to extremist ideology and easy access to weapons, including firearms, warrants serious consideration when fashioning an appropriate sentence,” Paschall wrote.
After entering the Capitol through the Senate Wing door, Secor walked through the office suite of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and once in the Rotunda, Secor joined other rioters in pushing against doors and overpowering three police officers, according to a court filing that accompanied his guilty plea. Entering the Senate chamber, Secor sat in a chair that Vice President Mike Pence had occupied about 30 minutes earlier.
After the riot, Secor tweeted a message that said, “It was Trump supporters you losers, and you should be proud. One day accomplished more for conservativism than the last 30 years.”
Prosecutors recommended sentencing Secor to four years and nine months in prison followed by three years of supervised release.
Defense lawyer Brandi Harden said Secor, then 22, flew from Newport Beach, California, to Washington “upon the urging of” then-President Donald Trump because Secor wanted to protest the results of the 2020 election that Democrat Joe Biden won.
“Christian’s involvement in the January 6th protest was not pre-meditated,” the lawyer wrote. “At the time of his trip to Washington D.C., he had become disillusioned by the hysteria about a stolen election coming from social media and news channels.”
Harden said Secor’s participation in the riot was “minimal, short lived, and included no violence.”
“He joined the crowd without a plan and without any understanding of what was about to unfold,” Harden wrote in a court filing.
Secor was arrested in February 2021. He pleaded guilty in May to a felony count of obstructing an official proceeding, the joint session of Congress for certifying Biden’s victory.
The court’s probation department calculated a sentencing guideline range of 51 months to 63 months of imprisonment for Secor.
Harden asked the judge to sentence Secor to two years of supervised probation, 75 hours of community service and home detention instead of incarceration.
UCLA suspended Secor after the riot. He began working for a family-owned vacation rental business after his arrest, according to Harden.
The FBI has linked other Capitol riot defendants to the “America First” movement, including California resident Brandon Scott Cavanaugh.
“Groypers believe they are defending against the demographic and cultural changes that are destroying the ‘true America,’ a white, Christian nation,” an FBI wrote in a court filing for Cavanaugh’s case.
Approximately 900 people have been charged with federal crimes stemming from the Jan. 6 attack. More than 400 of them have pleaded guilty, mostly to misdemeanor offenses, and nearly 300 have been sentenced.

'Different than football': Former NFL tight end now focusing on music
A former college football player and NFL tight end has turned his focus to music after a devastating injury ended his career with the Chicago Bears.
A stage is not quite the playing field Zach Miller is used to.
"It's an intimidating thing. It's a lot different than football where you've got your helmet and shoulder pads you can kind of hide behind prior to, and now it's just you up there," Miller said.
Despite his nerves, he's ready to step out and share his music.
"You got to be more vulnerable and share these stories. It took me a while to break out of that. I feel like every time I get on stage I get a little more comfortable," Miller said.
He performed at the Live & Loud Concert Series at the PGA Korn Ferry golf championship in Nebraska on Friday.
Crowds were ready to hear him jam out, but before music, Miller said it was a college hobby. He was more focused on playing for the University of Nebraska Omaha Mavericks football team.
Football proved to be a sure path, and it pushed him all the way to the NFL. Miller said playing the guitar got him through some of the toughest times.
"After I got hurt I kind of leaned on the songwriting thing and the creativity thing to escape," Miller said.
The injury ended his career as the Chicago Bears tight end in 2017.
Now, a change of pace and back to the cornfields, Miller said he's all in.
"It's a comforting feeling to just play at home, just to be able to share those stories and see people in the crowd that I connect with," Miller said.
His music reflects the Nebraska way.
"It's more so just regular life growing up here in Nebraska, running around with my boys and chasing the pretty girls," Miller said.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Mary Jane Luna-Rubal, a woman who killed another woman at an Albuquerque hotel took a plea deal Wednesday. She was originally facing a first degree murder charge for fatally stabbing Olivia Herrera at the Desert Sands Inn near Tramway and I-40 in April of 2021.
Luna-Rubal told police she and Herrera got into an argument and that she meant to stab the door, but Herrera stepped in front of her. Wednesday, Luna-Rubal pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter. She is scheduled to be sentenced at a later date, she faces up to eight years behind bars. | 2023-01-11T20:21:23+00:00 | krqe.com | https://www.krqe.com/news/albuquerque-metro/woman-who-killed-another-woman-at-albuquerque-hotel-takes-plea-deal/ |
President Biden on Tuesday said he is unaware of what documents from his time as vice president were discovered at a former private office of his, adding that he was surprised such records were kept there.
“I was briefed about this discovery and surprised to learn that there were any government records that were taken there to that office. But I don’t know what’s in the documents. My lawyers have not suggested I ask what documents they were,” Biden said when asked during the North American Leaders’ Summit in Mexico.
It was the first time since the discovery was reported on Monday night that Biden addressed the matter.
Biden’s special counsel confirmed in a statement after reports surfaced that the White House was cooperating with the Justice Department regarding a review of documents found in a University of Pennsylvania office in Washington that once belonged to Biden between his time as vice president and his 2020 presidential campaign.
“People know I take classified documents, classified information seriously. When my lawyers were clearing out my office at the University of Pennsylvania … they found some documents in a box in a locked cabinet, or at least a closet. And as soon as they did, they realized there were several classified documents in that box and they did what they should have done,” Biden said.
“They immediately called the Archives, immediately called the Archives, turned them over to the Archives,” he added.
“I’ve turned over the boxes, they’ve turned over the boxes to the Archives. And we’re cooperating fully, cooperating fully with the review, which I hope will be finished soon. And there’ll be more detail at that time,” Biden said.
Attorneys for Biden discovered the documents in November, days before the crucial midterm elections and the items were turned over to the agency the next day. The discovery of the documents was first reported by CBS News.
The president and vice president are required under the Presidential Records Act to turn over documents to the National Archives for secure storage.
The revelation immediately drew comparisons to an FBI search of former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property in which federal investigators seized classified documents there as part of a wider federal probe into potential mishandling of the information.
The reports of classified documents discovered in an office once held by Biden energized the new House Republican majority, which was already preparing to launch a host of investigations into the Biden administration. | 2023-01-11T01:12:49+00:00 | wnct.com | https://www.wnct.com/news/politics/biden-says-he-doesnt-know-what-documents-were-found-in-private-office/ |
NEW YORK — The Indiana Fever made the most of the first No. 1 draft pick in franchise history, selecting Aliyah Boston.
The South Carolina star had a stellar college career, leading the Gamecocks to a national championship her junior year, losing only nine games total and helping her team to three Final Four appearances. The 6-foot-5 Boston was a three-time Associated Press All-American and also the Player of the Year as a junior.
“It’s really special, I’m thankful to God for putting me in this position,” said the 21-year-old Boston, from the U.S. Virgin Islands. “Everyone in Indiana, they saw something in me, I’m ready to get there and get to work.”
The Fever had the worst record in the league last season, going 5-31.
“Aliyah Boston will have an immediate impact on our franchise on and off the court,” Fever GM Lin Dunn said. ‘We are excited to pair her with Kelsey (Mitchell) and NaLyssa (Smith) as we reload the Indiana Fever. We are very impressed with Aliyah’s post skills as well as her natural leadership skills. This a a great day for our franchise!”
Boston, like many other players, have had to choose whether to return to college for a fifth season because of the extra year granted for the COVID-19 virus or turn pro. She decided to enter the WNBA draft, joining 111 other players to declare.
“Everyone that has a COVID year has a tough choice,” Boston said. “You could be somewhere you know the system. ... It took a lot of thought.”
She was one of three South Carolina players taken in the first round. Laeticia Amihere went eighth to Atlanta and Zia Cooke 10th to Los Angeles. It’s the 10th time that three players from the same team were drafted in the opening round, and the first since Oregon had three in 2020.
The Gamecocks also had two other players drafted, with Brea Beal going 24th to Minnesota and Victaria Saxton picked next by Indiana.
“It’s amazing experience really, because this group of girls have been through life together,” Amihere said. “These four years haven’t been only about basketball. Being able to be with them on one of our biggest nights is an amazing experience.”
Minnesota took Diamond Miller of Maryland with the No. 2 pick, and Dallas drafted Maddy Siegrist of Villanova with the third pick. Big East Commissioner Val Ackerman, who was the WNBA’s first president, sat with Siegrist.
The Wings also drafted UConn guard Lou Lopez Senechal two picks later. She had transferred to UConn after a stellar career at Fairfield.
“It feels surreal, really didn’t think I’d be here,” Senechal said. “I’ve come a long way, gone through a lot of challenges.”
Stephanie Soares of Iowa State went fourth to Washington. The Mystics quickly traded her to Dallas soon after selecting the 6-foot-7 center. Washington got back a first round pick in 2025 and second-round pick in 2024.
“It was a very interesting feeling,” Soares said. “Pure excitement going to Washington, but now getting to go to Dallas. It’s going to be a great next step to the journey.”
Soares tore her ACL in January and will miss the upcoming WNBA season.
Stanford guard Haley Jones went sixth to Atlanta. Indiana’s Grace Berger was drafted seventh by the Fever. She was the first Hoosiers player selected in the first round in school history.
Seattle took Tennessee’s Jordan Horston ninth. Dallas chose Maryland’s Abby Meyers with the 11th pick. Meyers started her career at Princeton before finishing with the Terrapins.
Minnesota closed out the first round taking French center Maïa Hirsch.
TIP-INS:
LSU guard Alexis Morris, who helped the Tigers win a national championship eight days ago, was taken 22nd by the Connecticut Sun. Her LSU teammate LaDazhia Williams was drafted six picks earlier by Indiana. ... USC grad students Kadi Sissoko and Okako Adika were taken 29th and 30th by Phoenix and New York, respectively. It’s the first time since 2012 the school had two players chosen in the draft. ... Illinois State graduate guard Paige Robinson was the first player drafted from the school when she was selected 31st by Dallas.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (WGHP) — A lawsuit filed against Garner Foods over its North Carolina-made Texas Pete hot sauce seems to have inadvertently helped the brand.
On Sept. 12, Philip White, of Los Angeles, filed a class action lawsuit against T.W. Garner Food Co., which is based in Winston-Salem, alleging false advertising by Garner over its Texas Pete, which is not made in Texas.
Garner Foods acknowledged the suit in a statement: “We are aware of the current lawsuit that has been filed against our company regarding the Texas Pete® brand name. We are currently investigating these assertions with our legal counsel to find the clearest and most effective way to respond.”
The story first broke in North Carolina on Oct. 6, and national news outlets followed soon after.
By Oct. 10, demand for Texas Pete hot sauce shot up by 71% compared to the overall 2022 average, according to Pattern, an e-commerce utility that used data from Amazon sales of Texas Pete to come to its findings. Compared to the average demand the previous week, demand was up 76%, Pattern found.
This bizarre chain of events was put into motion back in Sept. 2021, when White bought a $3 bottle of Texas Pete at a Ralph’s supermarket in Los Angeles.
White’s complaint claims he wouldn’t have bought the hot sauce, or would have paid less, if he knew it wasn’t from Texas. He alleges that Texas Pete is taking business away from smaller companies selling authentic Texas hot sauce, and he blames Texas Pete’s marketing.
But nowhere on the Texas Pete bottle or website does Garner Foods claim that the product is made in Texas. The product’s online history leads by noting that it is “made in North Carolina,” and the label includes the T.W. Garner Food Co.’s Winston-Salem address.
The main imagery on the label, however, features the words “Texas Pete” underneath a single white star, and artwork depicting a cowboy holding a lasso — images White’s complaint says are distinctly Texan.
White’s complaint says Texas Pete’s ingredients also come from “sources outside of Texas.”
According to the brand’s own history, the name Texas Pete was chosen to evoke Texas’s “reputation for spicy cuisine.”
According to the hot sauce brand’s site, Sam Garner and his sons, Thad, Ralph and Harold, were trying to come up with a name for their hot sauce. Their marketing advisor pitched “‘Mexican Joe’ to connote the piquant flavor reminiscent of the favorite food of our neighbors to the south.” Sam Garner, however, wanted an “American” name for the sauce, and liked the sound of Texas.
“Then he glanced at son Harold whose nickname was ‘Pete’ and the Texas Pete cowboy was born,” the site claims.
The complaint cites this explanation and accuses Texas Pete of concocting a “false marketing and labeling scheme specifically because it knows the state of Texas enjoys a certain mysticism and appeal in the consumer marketplace and is known for its quality cuisine, spicy food and hot sauce in particular.”
White’s complaint, filed on behalf of all people in the U.S. who have purchased Texas Pete, asks the court to force Texas Pete to change its name and branding and to pay up.
T.W. Garner Food Co. has until Nov. 10 to respond to the complaint. | 2022-10-14T15:54:23+00:00 | mytwintiers.com | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/national/demand-for-texas-pete-spikes-after-lawsuit-filed-against-the-north-carolina-made-hot-sauce/ |

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — The mayor of Highland Park, Illinois, where a gunman opened fire at a Fourth of July parade, testified before Congress Wednesday to call for a ban on assault weapons.
Nancy Rotering said she will “be haunted forever” by the shooting that killed seven people and injured dozens more.
“We were screaming, ‘Run! Shooter!'” she recalled. “Less than a minute is all it took for a person with an assault weapon to shoot 83 rounds into a crowd, forever changing so many lives.”
She and Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill, said a ban on assault-style weapons could help prevent future shootings. Duckworth, a veteran of the Iraq War, said assault weapons belong only on the battlefield.
“We don’t have to live this way,” Duckworth said. “We can still hunt, we can still have an armed citizenry. We can do all of that … without weapons of war.”
Republicans argue a ban would not stop killings and would instead only stop law-abiding citizens from protecting themselves “against the horrible spike in violent crime that began two years ago,” Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said.
He and fellow Republicans say Democrats ought to focus their attention on improving mental health.
“We can’t keep seeing shooter after shooter follow the same predictable path and nobody does anything about it,” Grassley said.
Congress recently passed gun safety legislation putting millions toward that effort, but Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said he will also keep pushing for the assault weapons ban. House Democrats are planning to vote on such a ban, but it’s unclear when or if the Senate may do the same.
“I voted for the first assault weapons ban. I’ll do it again,” Durbin said. “America must do better.” | 2022-07-21T00:06:37+00:00 | cenlanow.com | https://www.cenlanow.com/washington-dc/highland-park-mayor-calls-for-assault-weapons-ban/ |
A 1968 Ford Mustang from Carroll Shelby’s personal collection is up for grabs. Nicknamed Black Hornet, it’s scheduled to be auctioned off by Barrett-Jackson at the company’s Scottsdale, Arizona, event to be held Jan. 21-29.
In the 1960s, Shelby American worked closely with Ford to develop new Mustang variants, keeping a handful of Mustangs around as development mules. Shelby tended to give them color-coordinated nicknames, such as Little Red and Green Hornet. According to the auction listing, the Black Hornet was built as a modern-day tribute to the latter, but with a different color and a few other changes.
The Black Hornet features a 428-cubic-inch V-8, which powers the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission, in place of the Green Hornet’s 390-cubic-inch V-8 and automatic gearbox. The notchback coupe also sports many of the Green Hornet’s styling features, including a twin-scoop hood and “EXP 500” badging, but it lacks the original car’s fuel-injection system and independent rear suspension.
The listing says Shelby oversaw the build and put 213 miles on the car before signing over ownership to “his charity foundation” on Dec. 29, 2008. Barrett-Jackson claims the car now has 564 miles on the odometer, and noted that’s recognized as an authentic Shelby-owned Mustang in the Shelby Worldwide Registry.
What appears to be the same car was listed in a 2020 Mecum Auctions catalog, and that listing fills in a few more details. It says Shelby commissioned Legendary G.T. Continuation Cars to build the Black Hornet, which was then donated to home decor retailer Restoration Hardware for an eBay charity auction benefitting the Carroll Shelby Children’s Foundation.
Mecum published a pre-auction estimate of $275,000 to $325,000 for its 2020 auction, although it’s unclear if the hammer price fell in that range. Barrett-Jackson CEO Craig Jackson once turned down a $1.9 million bid for the original Green Hornet, and while this tribute car isn’t as valuable as a genuine Shelby prototype, the connection to Carroll Shelby could mean a lot to the right buyer.

ATLANTA — A central figure in a Georgia election security breach appears to be sidestepping an immunity deal in Fulton County's probe of former president Donald Trump.
Cathy Latham is a Republican activist who is accused of helping Donald Trump operatives access Coffee County's election office equipment two years ago.
Latham is the former Coffee County Republican chair. In surveillance video released from January 2021, Latham is seen helping operatives for Trump enter the Coffee County election office -- where they spent hours inside apparently imaging election software.
Last month, Latham joined attorneys for Trump to move to quash Fulton County’s grand jury report into possible crimes associated with Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
"She's a (former) high school teacher in a rural community," said
Jeanne Dufort, an election integrity activist.
Dufort is part of a nonpartisan group that challenged the cybersecurity of Georgia’s voting machines long before Trump became a presidential candidate -- the group which uncovered the surveillance video with Latham at its center.
"How would this happen? I can see her as a lead character in a docudrama," Dufort said Friday.
In addition to her role in the Coffee County election incursion, Latham was a so-called fake elector for Trump -- among those targeted for possible prosecution by the Fulton County District Attorney, Fani Willis.
While court papers indicate other fake electors have made immunity deals with the D.A., Latham instead hired a new attorney.
"What is it that got her sucked in to all this to make the choices she made?" wondered Dufort.
The absence of an immunity deal doesn’t mean Latham or anybody else can’t get a deal if they want it. It could mean she’s just holding out for a better deal, as the D.A. eyes an announcement this summer of her intentions in the Trump case. | 2023-05-12T23:49:16+00:00 | 11alive.com | https://www.11alive.com/article/news/special-reports/ga-trump-investigation/fulton-county-election-investigation-immunity-deal-cathy-latham/85-4b31307d-3506-4888-9e2d-ab303912d90e |
PHILADELPHIA — Nine hours ahead of tipoff in front of fans that will assuredly jeer him, against the team that threw him under the bus before trading him to the Nets for James Harden, star forward Ben Simmons said he can’t be worried about salty 76ers fans.
Simmons, who will play at the Wells Fargo Center in front of a world-renowned rowdy Sixers fan base for the first time since the 2021 NBA Playoffs, shrugged off the idea that fans are still disappointed he and Joel Embiid were never able to make it past the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs during their time as a dynamic duo in Philly.
“What do I think about that? I mean, I can’t worry about everybody’s feelings,” he said at his old home arena after Nets shootaround on Tuesday. “At the end of the day, I’m not here to make everyone happy.”
And yet it’s a demon Simmons will need to exorcise: the vitriol guaranteed to spout from a fan base whose last memory of the All-Star forward was him turning down an open dunk on a game-swinging play that Embiid said cost the team the series in that fateful Game 7 against the Atlanta Hawks two seasons ago.
The feeling towards Simmons is so ingratiated in the city that Stateside Urbancraft — a local Philadelphia vodka distillery — allowed fans to trade-in their Simmons jerseys for a $20 store credit.
Just so they could be petty and donate all the Simmons jerseys to the homeless in Brooklyn.
“It’s going o be a hostile environment for Ben like it was last year,” said sharpshooter Seth Curry, who also arrived with Simmons in Brooklyn as part of the blockbuster Harden trade. “Philly fans are passionate. I’m sure they got some stuff they want to get off their chest when Ben’s out there on the floor.”
Simmons quickly said it’s not about him, that it’s about the team staying locked in to secure a victory that will inch them closer to .500 on the season. When pressed, he said he has no choice but to separate personal agendas from team success.
“Yeah, if we want to be a great team, I’ve gotta do that,” he said. “That’s on me to do that. Obviously, there’ll be a lot [of emotions from the fans], but I’ve got to do that as a leader of the team.”
Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn said after Sunday’s victory against the Memphis Grizzlies that the environment waiting at the Wells Fargo Center will be “great for” Simmons. As a reminder, Sixers fans waited outside of the Nets’ hotel to boo Simmons when the two teams faced off on March 10.
They also booed him while he was on the court for pregame warmups in a game he wasn’t playing.
“It’s just like Portland, where he had to step up and make free throws when they tried to foul, [and he] makes three out of four,” Vaughn said on Sunday. “It’s the same sort of mental and physical hurdle that he’s going to have to get through. Which is great. He’ll have his teammates behind him. He’ll have a coach that believes in him and overall we’re looking forward to going and play.”
Simmons says he still has a lot of love for Philadelphia. He said it’s where he “became a man,” calling the Sixers fan base special.
Despite Embiid throwing Simmons under the bus after Game 7 — blaming Simmons without naming him by saying “I don’t know how to say it, but I thought the turning point was we had an open shot, we missed it and we made one free throw” — Simmons said there is no bad blood between the two former teammates, though their relationship isn’t as strong as the bonds other co-stars have formed across the league.
“We had a lot of highlights and we got a lot of great times,” Simmons said. “I got a lot of love for Joe too. Obviously didn’t work out but that’s life. Not everything works out in your favor. So I wish him the best. Obviously not a championship against us, but the best.”
Simmons said he hasn’t spoken to Embiid since the two were teammates. For reference, Curry said Embiid FaceTimes him “every once in a while” and he still has a good relationship with both him and Sixers budding star Tyrese Maxey.
“I mean, you’re not cool with everybody. You’re not texting everybody,” Simmons said. “I think there are certain people that you just don’t talk to all the time. I got friends that I will talk to all the time, but we’re [Embiid and Simmons are] still cool, but that’s just how life went.”
Embiid is out against the Nets with a mid-foot injury, as are both Maxey and Harden.
Is it anticlimactic for Simmons to make his return against his old team while they’re missing their three best players?
“The fans will make up for it. Yeah, so I’m looking forward to it. It’s gonna be fun,” he said. “I’m so excited to play. I’m so excited. I can’t wait. It’s gonna be fun. This is gonna be an opportunity for me. I’ve never been in this situation. So I gotta appreciate it and really take it all in.”
