Tennessee Football to wear Smokey Grey uniforms against LSU The announcement comes days before Tennessee is set to take on the Tigers. KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - For the first time in years, the Tennessee Football team will sport the Smokey Grey uniforms in its upcoming game. The Vols announced the uniform switch up Monday evening as they look toward their fifth game of the season against LSU, which is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 8 at noon. “Tennessee owns a 3-1 record wearing Nike’s Smokey Grey uniform, including a pair of 21-point comeback wins (2015 – vs. Georgia and 2016 – vs. Florida) and a 38-24 victory over Nebraska in the 2016 Music City Bowl that saw Derek Barnett break Reggie White’s UT career sack record,” Tennessee officials said. “The Volunteers will don the uniform for the first time since Sept. 30, 2017.” The Smokey Grey series returned to Tennessee Football this year, with the 2022 uniform nicknamed “The OG,” featuring light and dark grey with orange numbers. The 2023, 2024, and 2025 jerseys will be announced prior to each season. Heading into the game, Tennessee remained at No. 8 in the Associated Press Top 25 College Football poll after beating Florida 38-33 on September 24 inside a packed Neyland Stadium. However, wide receiver Cedric Tillman remains questionable for Saturday’s match-up. Head Coach Josh Heupel said Tillman’s recent surgery should expedite his recovery. As for Tennessee’s starting defensive back, Warren Burrell, he had season-ending surgery to repair an upper-body injury, coach Heupel said Monday. The team would not specify what the injury was or what surgery Burrell underwent. The team returned to the practice field Monday morning following a few days off during the bye week.

CLEVELAND, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the new study, Storm & Sanitary Sewer Pipe, demand for storm sewer pipe is anticipated to grow 4.3% per year to $5.5 billion in 2026. Gains will be driven by: - increased spending on sewer infrastructure - increased spending on the construction and repair of highways, which tends to coincide with storm sewer and drainage pipe installation or replacement, as pipe is required to drain water from roads and is less costly to install while roads are being built - improvement and repair activity on buildings, which will support gains for drainage pipe, especially in the commercial segment where drainage pipe is needed to prevent water accumulation in parking lots Plastic was the leading pipe material used in storm sewer applications, accounting for 44% of demand in 2021: - Plastic has increased its lead over concrete – particularly in small and medium diameters – due to performance advantages such as light weight, ease of handling, and moderate cost. - Growth in demand for corrugated HDPE accounts for the majority of these gains. - Other plastics such as PVC and polypropylene also see use in this segment on a more limited basis. Advances for concrete pipe will be supported by ongoing use of concrete pipe in culverts and other applications where large diameters are required.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Two pastors based in coastal Kenya have appeared in court over the deaths of more than 100 of their congregants, many of whom are believed to have starved to death. Pastor Paul Mackenzie was released by one court in the town in Malindi before being rearrested and presented at an upper court in the town of Shanzu. Mackenzie was first arrested two weeks ago over links to cultism for asking his followers to starve to death in order to meet Jesus. More than 100 bodies have been exhumed from dozens of mass graves on his property within Kilifi County. Children are believed to be among the dead, but it is unclear how many, as some of the bodies are in poor condition. The higher court has authorized Mackenzie’s detention until Friday, when an application to hold him for a further 30 days pending terrorism investigations will be heard. His wife, Rhoda Maweu, was arrested on Monday night from a hideout in the coastal town of Mtwapa after weeks on the run. Autopsies on 40 of the bodies found on Mackenzie’s property revealed that the causes of death ranged from starvation to strangulation and suffocation. Pastor Ezekiel Odero, whose church is in the same county as Mackenzie’s, has also appeared in court. He will remain in custody for a further two days as investigations continue. His followers trouped in large numbers outside the court Tuesday, praying for his release. Odero was arrested last week in connection to the deaths of dozens of his congregants at his megachurch, which draws thousands of people from across the country. He is also being investigated for his links to Mackenzie. After Mackenzie closed his church in 2019, Odero bought a television channel from him. Mackenzie had been charged in 2017 over the deaths of children at his church. In 2019, he closed the church and moved to a ranch in a forested area of Kilifi county, where hundreds of families built houses. One of his followers told The Associated Press that it was at this time that a plan to starve till death in order to meet Jesus was hatched and his followers started dying. Human rights groups had been sounding the alarm for months until April, when police began investigating and mass graves were discovered at the ranch. Currently, police are conducting search and rescue missions on the 800-acre (325 hectares) property and at an even bigger ranch nearby. So far, 48 people have been rescued alive and 24 arrests made, according to Coast Regional Commissioner Rhoda Onyancha. The operation to dig for more bodies has stalled even as the government announced a dusk-to-dawn curfew in the area and redeployed all senior police commanders to pave the way for a thorough probe.	2023-05-03T08:12:24+00:00	wjhl.com	https://www.wjhl.com/news/international/kenyan-pastors-appear-in-court-over-deaths-of-parishioners/
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Images of Celestine Chaney’s shooting death in a hate-fueled attack inside a Buffalo supermarket made their way across the internet in the days that followed. At her funeral Tuesday, images from a treasured life filled the space, showing her smiling and holding her family close. Chaney, 65, was among 10 Black people killed May 14 when a white gunman wearing body armor and a helmet-mounted camera targeted shoppers and workers at a Tops Friendly Market. Three others were injured in the attack, which federal authorities are investigating as a hate crime. Chaney’s son, Wayne Jones Sr., told mourners inside the Elim Christian Fellowship sanctuary that he felt empty despite being “somewhat prepared mentally for this day” after watching his mother survive breast cancer and three brain aneurysms. A single mother after a divorce, Chaney had taught her only child how to survive, Jones said. “When the lights were off, we lit candles. When the heat was off we just got in one room,” he said. “When there was nothing to eat we got one meal and we shared it.” “Life will never be the same,” said Jones, who before the service placed a hand on his mother’s white casket as members of the congregation she was devoted to stretched their right hands toward him in support. The alleged gunman, 18-year-old Payton Gendron, of Conklin, has been charged with murder and is being held without bail. The oldest of Chaney’s nine grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, Wayne Jones Jr., said he wished for one more phone call from his funny and caring grandmother who had celebrated her 65th birthday with steak, lobster and mimosas a week before her death. “Of course she wanted the most expensive thing on the menu,” granddaughter Kayla Jones said to laughter. Mayor Byron Brown labeled Tuesday “Celestine Chaney Day” in Buffalo in a proclamation read at the service. A slideshow of family photos played on an oversized screen as the service came to a close. Wayne Jones Sr. said last week that his mother’s death was confirmed for him when he first saw a photo and then video of the shooting. Chaney and her 74-year-old sister had been shopping for strawberry shortcakes and other groceries on a warm Saturday afternoon. Shopping was typically how the mother and son had spent time together, hitting store after store and grabbing a hot dog or McDonald’s along the way, he said. “This is one ride we can’t go with her. She’s got to take this one alone,” Jones told mourners, breaking down. “I wish I could go with her,” he said. “Just to protect her.” More funerals are scheduled throughout the week. On Monday, family, friends and co-workers said goodbye to 72-year-old Katherine “Kat” Massey, who was remembered as a community activist and education advocate dedicated to improving her city.	2022-05-25T03:35:29+00:00	localsyr.com	https://www.localsyr.com/news/national/celestine-chaney-buffalo-supermarket-victim-mourned/

But after speaking to some of the Bishop Gorman student-athletes about work ethic, sacrifice and persistence, Plaisance was surrounded by a group of 10 girls who had more questions about her life, the path to the WNBA and being a professional athlete. “It was a perfect opportunity,” Plaisance said. This trip to Bishop Gorman is just part of a day in Plaisance’s offseason life. Now that the championship buzz and celebration hangovers are gone, the nine-year WNBA veteran is settling into her offseason regimen like the rest of the title-winning Aces. Plaisance is one of three players spending a majority of her time in Las Vegas after the 2022 championship. Several members of the team are already playing for other club teams abroad, while others are recovering from national team duty or training across the country. Communication between the team and its players all across the globe is just one of the unique challenges WNBA teams face. However, Plaisance assures the Aces group chat is still active. “This is going to be a special group that’s going to keep in touch for our lifetimes,” she said. The Aces’ forward wraps up answering questions from the high school students in the cafeteria. She’s already given this speech at least two times today to an earlier group of Gaels athletes and to students at Centennial, just an hour earlier. But Plaisance is happy to stick around and answer the final questions. “For me,” Plaisance said, “to be out here to train, but also share my story and help display the Aces and who we are as a group, I think it’s really important.” The players It took about a week and a half before the physical limitations of celebrating caught up to the Aces, depending on who’s asked. “It was definitely tiring, but it was the kind of tiring you want to experience after something like that,” reserve point guard Sydney Colson said. Added Plaisance: “We’re all kind of over the championship celebration. It’s kind of like, ‘Thank God we don’t have to celebrate anymore.’” The players split up soon after the Aces’ championship parade down Las Vegas Boulevard. Some went on holiday, but several went immediately into more basketball. WNBA Finals MVP Chelsea Gray, All-Star guard Kelsey Plum and league MVP A’ja Wilson landed in Sydney, Australia, three days after the parade to join Team USA at the 2022 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup. Rookie forward Iliana Rupert also played in the tournament, representing France. Gray knew no one would have faulted the Aces for declining the invitation after a grueling playoff run and hard-fought WNBA Finals. However, she felt like it was too good of an opportunity to pass up. “Putting on that jersey is always an honor,” she said. “When you’re one of 12 people that’s able to do that, you don’t take it lightly.” The American trio came home with more hardware, winning the tournament. Wilson had a team-high 19 points, Plum scored 17 off the bench and Gray had eight assists during the championship game, as Team USA beat China 83-61. Wilson and Plum led the United States in scoring during the tournament, and Plum also led the team in minutes per game. The All-Star Game MVP said it was a great experience and treasured sharing the moment with her WNBA teammates. “We just connect well, they’re great people, first and foremost,” Plum said. “Definitely built memories, and I’m looking forward to doing it again in the future with them.” Other players also left to play abroad. All-Star wing Jackie Young, starting center Kiah Stokes and reserve guard Riquna Williams are all spending the offseason playing in Turkey, where they will be joined by Gray, who finally got some time off to rest and recover before heading overseas. The point guard said she’s excited to see some of her Aces teammates in Turkey and said they usually try to meet up or get a meal together when they’re in the same city abroad. The Aces rookies are also getting experience by playing overseas. Rupert is spending this season with Virtus Bologna in Italy, while rookie guard Aisha Sheppard is playing for CDB Clarinos in Tenerife, Spain, where Plaisance was during the past offseason. Rookie wing Kierstan Bell is the lone Aces player in Australia this season. She’s playing for the Adelaide Lightning. Plum, forward Dearica Hamby — pregnant with her second child — and Plaisance are all spending a majority of their time in the Las Vegas area. Wilson will alternate between Nevada and her home state of South Carolina while preparing for the upcoming season. Plum, who tore her labrum during the playoffs, had surgery during the offseason and has spent the past several weeks rehabbing at the UFC Performance Institute. Wilson is in Columbia, South Carolina, hosting several basketball camps, refurbishing some local courts, donating supplies to help students with dyslexia and organizing a gala through her foundation. Gray and Plum both have busy schedules for the offseason, but they’ve already seen the benefits of winning a championship. Besides her rehab, Plum stayed in the United States because she had an opportunity to pursue some business ventures. She recently signed a four-year contract with sports outfitters Under Armour. Gray, meanwhile, said she’s been asked to bring the Finals MVP trophy everywhere she goes. “We were able to be on the big stage for a long period of time, and viewers were able to see us,” Gray said. “I think that’s always important, to get into those rooms. And everyone loves to bring out and have a champion by their side.” Colson is also staying stateside this season. She’s the chairperson of the Athletes Unlimited women’s basketball player executive committee. The organization will play its second season beginning in late February after its successful first edition was held in Las Vegas this past year. “It’s pretty exciting this upcoming season,” she said. “I hope more people tune in and watch.” This Athletes Unlimited season will be played in Dallas. Colson is excited to bring the event to her home state and hopes to see it grow. The veteran point guard said she’s also been encouraged by how many of the past season’s participants earned WNBA training camp invites. In the meantime, Colson is going to resume taking acting classes, something she’s interested in pursuing after her playing career ends. She also officiated Indiana Fever wing Danielle Robinson’s wedding and plans on returning to Las Vegas for Hamby’s daughter’s birthday. “I was (Hamby’s) teammate when she had Amaya,” Colson said. “So I definitely want to be around for it.” The coaches The Aces players aren’t the only ones who enjoyed the 2022 championship win. The coaching staff also had a great time during the celebrations, and Plaisance named coach Becky Hammon as the individual with the most stories to tell about exactly what the team got up to after hoisting the WNBA Championship trophy. Additionally, assistant Tyler Marsh welcomed his first child, a baby boy, days after the Aces beat the Connecticut Sun in the WNBA Finals. “It’s been a great offseason, so far,” Marsh said. Now, they’re getting back down to business, though the staff is missing the physical presence of Hammon, who’s set to begin a new role as an NBA studio analyst for ESPN in December. That means the rest of the staff — lead assistant Natalie Nakase, Marsh and longtime LSU assistant Charlene Thomas-Swinson — are taking active roles in monitoring their players both abroad and in the market. Nakase stressed the team staff is still in constant contact with Hammon about her expectations and goals for the Aces offseason. It can be a delicate balancing act. Younger players like Sheppard and Bell simply need repetitions and experience, but veterans may be looking to improve a specific aspect of their game or managing their workload. What the Aces coaches want players to work on may also contradict what teams abroad need. “We’re just trying to stay in contact with them, making sure they’re taking care of their bodies,” Thomas-Swinson said. The Aces are also trying to take advantage of having so many players in the Las Vegas area this offseason. Nakase said it lets the coaching staff personalize workouts for each individual athlete’s specific needs. Marsh added that having so many Aces in the market helps streamline communication between the coaches, training staff and players. So far, though, everything’s gone smoothly. The coaches try to check in with their players at least once a week, and they sense the group is just as driven as when they were playing in the Finals. Nakase said she’d just received a message from Williams, in Turkey, saying she was excited to show the Aces just how good she can be when fully healthy next season, despite scoring 17 points off the bench in the Finals-clinching win against the Sun. “We just make sure they’re growing, make sure they’re improving — mentally and physically — and always having that winning mindset of putting the team before yourself,” Nakase said. “That’s really important.” Contact reporter Andy Yamashita at ayamashita@reviewjournal.com.

March for Life returns to DC with new post-Roe v. Wade focus One year ago, the annual March for Life protest against legal abortion took place in Washington in a mood of undisguised triumph. With a fresh conservative majority on the Supreme Court, thousands of marchers braved bitterly cold weather to celebrate the seemingly inevitable fall of Roe v. Wade. Now they're assembling again, with the constitutional right to abortion no longer the rule of the land. Friday's March for Life has a new focus. Instead of concentrating their attention on the Supreme Court, the marchers are pushing for action from the building directly across the street: the U.S. Capitol. Movement leaders say they plan to warn Congress against making any attempt to curtail the multiple anti-abortion laws imposed last year in a dozen states. Evangelist Franklin Graham, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., and Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch, whose office argued the case that overturned Roe v. Wade, were among the expected speakers. Jeanne Mancini, president of the March for Life Education and Defense Fund, said the march is “a somber reminder of the millions of lives lost to abortion in the past 50 years, but also a celebration of how far we have come and where we as a movement need to focus our effort as we enter this new era in our quest to protect life.” Some movement leaders also hope to plant seeds in Congress for a potential federal abortion restriction down the line. Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of SBA Pro-Life America, said she envisions an eventual “federal minimum standard” cut-off line such as 13 weeks of pregnancy after which abortion would not be permitted in any state. Dannenfelser's scenario would still leave individual states free to impose their own, stricter measures, including a total ban. That last ambition is an admitted longshot since even if it passes the newly Republican-controlled House, it would most likely fail in the Democratic-held Senate. “We know it’s not going to happen this session, but this is the beginning,” Dannenfelser said. “It's (Congress') responsibility to listen to the will of the people.” In permit applications to the National Park Service, protest organizers estimated 50,000 participants this year, about the same size as previous marches. In the absence of Roe v. Wade's federal protections, abortion rights have become a state-by-state patchwork. Since June, near-total bans on abortion have been implemented in Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia. Legal challenges are pending against several of those bans. Elective abortions also are unavailable in Wisconsin, due to legal uncertainties faced by abortion clinics, and in North Dakota, where the lone clinic relocated to Minnesota. Bans passed by lawmakers in Ohio, Indiana and Wyoming have been blocked by state courts while legal challenges are pending. And in South Carolina, the state Supreme Court on Jan. 5 struck down a ban on abortion after six weeks, ruling the restriction violates a state constitutional right to privacy. But other states have witnessed unexpected pushback on the issue. Voters in Kansas and Kentucky rejected constitutional amendments that would have declared there is no right to abortion; Michigan voters approved an amendment enshrining the right to abortion in the state constitution. President Joe Biden's administration has limited options after the Supreme Court decision. Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to give a speech in Florida on Sunday, the 50th anniversary of the original Roe v. Wade ruling, to emphasize that abortion rights remain a core focus for the administration. “The vice president will make very clear: The fight to secure women’s fundamental right to reproductive health care is far from over,” said a statement from Kirsten Allen, a Harris spokesperson. “She will lay out the consequences of extremist attacks on reproductive freedom in states across our country and underscore the need for Congress to codify Roe.” According to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll conducted in July, 53% of U.S. adults said they disapproved of the Supreme Court’s repeal of Roe, while 30% approved. Dannenfelser disputes those numbers and says that while blanket abortion bans are a divisive issue among voters, limited restrictions such as a ban after the first trimester of pregnancy are “wildly popular” in both red and blue states. Anti-abortion activists also have their eye on the 2024 presidential elections and are essentially vetting prospective candidates over their views on the issue. Dannenfelser said she met recently with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a potential leading Republican candidate, and came away “incredibly impressed,” but said it was still too early for her organization to endorse anyone. She predicted that there will be some “fault lines” among Republican presidential contenders over abortion rights and protections, but warned that any candidate perceived as being soft on the issue will have "disqualified him or herself as a presidential candidate in our eyes, and having done so has very little chance of winning the nomination.” ___ Associated Press writer David Crary contributed from New York City.	2023-01-20T17:25:54+00:00	wyff4.com	https://www.wyff4.com/article/march-for-life-returns-to-dc-after-roe-v-wade-overturned/42590660
Adam Wainwright will pitch for the St. Louis Cardinals next season, choosing to return for an 18th and final year with the club even as longtime teammates Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina head off into retirement. The 41-year-old Wainwright agreed Wednesday to a $17.5 million, one-year contract that includes $10 million in deferred pay and the chance to earn $1 million in bonuses for starts. He informed the NL Central champions of his decision to return shortly after they were eliminated by the Philadelphia Phillies in the wild-card round of the playoffs. Wainwright did not pitch in either game in part because he had struggled with his delivery late in the season. “I do tend to think the way the season ended led even more to me coming back,” Wainwright said Wednesday, “because I just didn’t like that. I don’t like gong out like that. I wasn’t performing like I know I should have been performing. Wasn’t helping the team like I knew I should have been helping the team. We didn’t win. I love my teammates.” “But looking back on it now, it just seemed like everything that happened led me to coming back one more year,” he said. Asked whether it would be just that — one final year — he replied: “Yes.” But then Wainwright made it clear that he has no interest in answering questions about retirement every week, instead imploring folks to “just let me go out and pitch.” Wainwright finished 11-12 with a 3.71 ERA in 32 start, his first losing season in which he made at least 20 starts. He won just twice over his final six starts, though, and had a 7.22 ERA while dealing with what he called a “dead arm.” Wainwright’s deal includes $1 million payable each July 1 from 2024-33 and the chance to earn $500,000 each for 28 and 30 starts. He gets a full no-trade provision and a hotel suite on road trips. He would earn $500,000 for finishing among the top 10 in Cy Cy Young Award voting, $50,000 each for making the All-Star team, winning the Leaguue Championship Series or World Series MVP awards or a Gold Glove, and $25,000 for a SIlver Slugger. Wainwright earned $17.5 million on a one-year deal last season. “We all know how competitive he is, we know how special he is in that clubhouse and what he means to this organization,” Cardinals president John Mozeliak said, “so we’re just glad we could get it done.” Wainwright heads into next season needing five wins to reach 200 . The right-hander is 15 behind Jesse Haines for the second-most wins in franchise history; Bob Gibson is the leader with 251 of them. Wainwright and Molina set the major league record for career starts as a battery last season, eventually hitting 328 starts together. But with Molina heading into retirement, Andrew Knizner is in line to be the everyday catcher, though Mozeliak did indicate Wednesday that the club would be in the market for help behind the plate. “We’re super excited that he’s coming back, and we understood that he had interest in pitching again,” Mozeliak said. “He and I started talking about this in early September, and obviously the September didn’t go as he wanted it to, but we really do feel like there’s something left in that tank.” In other news, Mozeliak said he was willing to offer new contracts to pitching coach Mike Maddux and hitting coach Jeff Albert but both decided to step away. The 61-year-old Maddux had been with the Cardinals since 2018 and Albert spent time with the Astros before taking over as the Cardinals hitting coach ahead of the 2019 season. The Cardinals had already lost bench coach Skip Schumaker to the Marlins as their manager this week. And with bullpen coach Bryan Eversgerd being reassigned as a special assistant within the organization, Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol will have four spots to replace on his staff heading into his second season in charge. Turner Ward, who had been the assistant hitting coach, could be a candidate for promotion. Pitching strategist Dusty Blake also will be back and could be among the candidates to replace Maddux as the pitching coach. “Clearly we have a lot of openings,” Mozeliak said. “We’ll look internally and we’ll look externally. We know we have some qualified people within the organization but we also want to make sure were addressing all our needs.” Mozeliak also acknowledged spending time this week with All-Star third baseman Nolen Arenado, who must decide within five days of the end of the World Series whether to opt out of the remaining five years and $144 million on his deal. Arenado, a nine-time Gold Glove winner, is coming off a season in which he hit .293 with 30 homers, 103 RBIs and a career-low strikeout rate, putting him in the MVP race alongside teammate Paul Goldschmidt. And whereas opting out might have been a longshot last year, Arenado’s year raises the question of whether he could ear more on the open market. Mozeliak said there is “optimism” surrounding Arenado and the Cardinals but there was nothing to announce yet. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	2022-10-27T06:18:48+00:00	nwahomepage.com	https://www.nwahomepage.com/news/national-sports/ap-cardinals-wainwright-back-in-2023-coaching-staff-to-change/
NPR stops using Twitter after labeled 'Government-funded Media' WASHINGTON - National Public Radio says it will no longer maintain its Twitter accounts after the social media platform labeled the organization "Government-funded Media." "NPR will no longer actively maintain its flagship Twitter (@NPR) or any other official NPR accounts, and we are officially deemphasizing Twitter across the organization," the group said on its website Wednesday. Earlier this month, Twitter labeled NPR as "state-affiliated media" - a term it also uses for propaganda outlets in Russia and China. They later revised the label on NPR's account to "Government-funded Media." NPR said Twitter refused repeated requests to remove the "state-affiliated media" label. "The label has since been changed to "Government-Funded Media," which does not accurately capture our public media governance structure and still sends Twitter users to an explanation that implies "government involvement over editorial content," they continued online. "We believe this label is intended to call in question our editorial independence and undermine our credibility. If we continued tweeting, every post would carry that misleading label." WASHINGTON, DC - FEBRUARY 22: A view of the National Public Radio (NPR) headquarters on North Capitol Street February 22, 2023 in Washington, DC. NPR CEO John Lansing announced in a memo to staff that the network is planning to lay off around 10% of NPR said content will remain available on their website, app, and newsletter. Users can also find new stories in their liveblogs, and the news organization will continue to send push notifications. "We will continue to maintain a presence on other social platforms, and are currently reviewing whether to expand to include other emerging third-party platforms," their website said. "NPR and our member stations are supported by millions of listeners who depend on us for the independent, fact-based journalism we provide," said NPR president and CEO John Lansing earlier this month."NPR stands for freedom of speech and holding the powerful accountable." NPR is headquartered in Washington, D.C. and does receive U.S. government funding through grants from federal agencies and departments, along with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The company said it accounts for less than 1% of NPR’s annual operating budget. The Associated Press contributed to this report.	2023-04-12T17:12:06+00:00	fox6now.com	https://www.fox6now.com/news/npr-stops-using-twitter-after-labeled-government-funded-media
DOHA, Qatar (AP) — A top Qatari official involved in the country’s World Cup organization has put the number of worker deaths for the tournament “between 400 and 500” for the first time, a drastically higher number than any other previously offered by Doha. The comment by Hassan al-Thawadi, the secretary-general of Qatar’s Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy, appeared to come off the cuff during an interview with British journalist Piers Morgan. It also threatened to reinvigorate criticism by human rights groups over the toll of hosting the Middle East’s first World Cup for the migrant labor that built over $200 billion worth of stadiums, metro lines and new infrastructure needed for the tournament. The Supreme Committee and Qatar’s government did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday. In the interview, portions of which Morgan posted online, the British journalist asks al-Thawadi: “What is the honest, realistic total do you think of migrant workers who died from – as a result of work they’re doing for the World Cup in totality?” “The estimate is around 400, between 400 and 500,” al-Thawadi responds. “I don’t have the exact number. That’s something that’s been discussed.” But that figure hasn’t been discussed publicly by Qatari officials previously. Reports from the Supreme Committee dating from 2014 through the end of 2021 only include the number of deaths of workers involved in building and refurbishing the stadiums now hosting the World Cup. Those released figures put the total number of deaths at 40. They include 37 from what the Qataris describe as nonwork incidents such as heart attacks and three from workplace incidents. One report also separately lists a worker death from the coronavirus amid the pandemic. Al-Thawadi pointed to those figures when discussing work just on stadiums in the interview, right before offering the “between 400 to 500” death toll for all the infrastructure for the tournament. Since FIFA awarded the tournament to Qatar in 2010, the country has taken some steps to overhaul the country’s employment practices. That includes eliminating its so-called kafala employment system, which tied workers to their employers, who had say over whether they could leave their jobs or even the country. Qatar also has adopted a minimum monthly wage of 1,000 Qatari riyals ($275) for workers and required food and housing allowances for employees not receiving those benefits directly from their employers. It also has updated its worker safety rules to prevent deaths. “One death is a death too many. Plain and simple,” al-Thawadi adds in the interview. Activists have called on Doha to do more, particularly when it comes to ensuring workers receive their salaries on time and are protected from abusive employers. Al-Thawadi’s comment also renews questions on the veracity of both government and private business reporting on worker injuries and deaths across the Gulf Arab states, whose skyscrapers have been built by laborers from South Asia nations like India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Mustafa Qadri, the executive director of Equidem Research, a labor consultancy that has published reports on the toll of the construction on migrant laborers, said he was surprised by al-Thawadi’s remark. “For him now to come and say there is hundreds, it’s shocking,” he told The Associated Press. “They have no idea what’s going on.”	2022-11-29T14:13:11+00:00	wishtv.com	https://www.wishtv.com/news/international/qatar-says-worker-deaths-for-world-cup-between-400-and-500/

HAMILTON, ON and BOSTON, Oct. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Fusion Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: FUSN), a clinical-stage oncology company focused on developing next-generation radiopharmaceuticals as precision medicines, today announced that the compensation committee of the Company's Board of Directors granted stock option awards to purchase an aggregate of 195,000 shares of its common stock to five employees outside Fusion's 2020 Stock Option and Incentive Plan.

Which cable crossover machine is best? Cable crossover machines are versatile pieces of exercise equipment that let users adjust them to target different muscle groups. Top machines offer a wide range of resistance levels, angle variety, safety features and interchangeable grips. One of the best cable crossover machines, offering a sturdy frame and smooth movement, is the Mikolo Multifunction Power Cage. What to know before you buy a cable crossover machine Type There are a few types of cable crossover machines. Although a single-pulley machine can be used for a variety of exercises, a double-pulley allows more intense workouts and is ideal for targeting the chest muscles. There also are multifunction and simple crossover machines. High-end products are often multifunction, letting users adjust the machine to work out different muscles. Size If you have limited space, choose a machine designed to be compact. Keep in mind that the compact versions might not be as sturdy as larger models. If you plan on using a machine with extremely heavy weights, go with a larger frame. The cable crossover often requires extra space for certain exercises, such as chest cable crossovers, so make sure you have enough space to comfortably perform such exercises. Resistance levels The machine is designed to offer multiple resistance levels. Check the maximum resistance level to make sure it meets your requirements. Some machines allow additional resistance levels to be added by adding weights. Expect most products to have a maximum weight rating of 250-300 pounds. What to look for in a quality cable crossover machine Smooth movement Quality cable crossover machines offer smooth movement of the cable system through the entire range of motion. This means the tension in the cable should be uniform. Angle variety Changing the angle of the exercise can activate different muscle groups. For example, if the height of the pulley is moved from the top to the bottom, you can use more shoulder muscles rather than chest muscles. Machines that offer a wide-angle variety will let you perform different types of exercises. Some high-end products let you adjust the pulley vertically and horizontally to offer a full range of angles. Grip variety Most cable crossovers come with interchangeable handle options used to train different muscle groups. Common handle options include a v-bar, bat-bar, grip ropes, crossover handles and curl bar. High-quality machines allow quick, easy changing of the handlebars. Some machines also feature padded support on the handle for extra comfort. Consider buying a high-quality pair of gym gloves to help protect your hands and offer extra grip. How much you can expect to spend on a cable crossover machine For a high-quality machine that is safe and reliable, expect to spend $600-$1,000. Cable crossover machine FAQ What muscle groups can be worked using a cable crossover machine? A. It’s most commonly used to target the chest muscles, but you can use variations to the angle of the cables to target other muscle groups. Depending on the type of machine, you should be able to work out the abs, triceps, shoulders, biceps and back muscles. Does the cable crossover machine require regular maintenance? A. Good-quality cable crossovers are typically sturdy and durable machines. The models designed for home use require minimal maintenance, but consider periodic lubrication of the moving parts to ensure smooth movement and keep the equipment free from dust or moisture.

VANCOUVER, Wash. (KOIN) — A one-month-old child was safely returned to his parents after being allegedly kidnapped in a stolen car early Saturday morning. The alleged car theft and kidnapping happened just before 8 a.m. Saturday out front of Happy Juice, a smoothie and coffee stand in Vancouver, Washington. The baby’s parents, John and Ashley, own the business and said they began setting up for the day around 7:45 a.m. “I turn my back for just a second and he utilized that time to run and hop into my driver’s seat of my car door,” John said. John said he was just a few feet away from the car with his son still in view. He said he began pleading with the man to give the child back. “I said, ‘Hey my son’s in there, just give me my son. Take my car, just, please, give me my son.’ He hopped in and drove.” Deputies from the Clark County Sheriff’s Office responded quickly to the family’s 911 call. John said the car was found 15 minutes later, dumped near NE 88th and Highway 99. The infant was still in the backseat, unharmed. But the suspect, identified by law enforcement as Mario Dorian Andrews, was nowhere to be found. Later that day, John and Ashley noticed someone was trying to use their credit cards at the Vancouver Mall. “He started running up our business card, to which Ashley had the notion of ‘Well, let’s just leave it and we’ll see where it goes,'” John said. They tracked purchases at Victoria Secret and Footlocker, and then they spotted Andrews in JCPenney. John said he tackled the suspect, and held him down until authorities arrived and arrested him. Andrews was booked in the Clark County Jail on suspicion of kidnapping, theft of a motor vehicle, reckless endangerment, possession of a stolen vehicle and attempting to elude from an earlier case in Vancouver. Records show a suspect matching Andrews’ full name and age was previously convicted of child molestation in 2005. That, John said, elevated their fears. “It was a major concern,” he said. “It’s more so horrifying. It just goes to show you really can’t trust people nowadays and it’s really difficult because, you know, we want to trust everybody and we want to be giving people the benefit of the doubt and assuming positive intent. It’s just not the world we live in, necessarily.” Despite the terrifying series of events, John said his family is grateful for the fast action of law enforcement — and above all, for the safe return of his son. “It was surreal. I am so thankful. It felt — I don’t even know how to explain the feeling — it felt like a weight off my shoulders. You know all those crazy thoughts went through your mind about what’s the worst thing that can happen. And today definitely that happened.”	2023-04-09T22:15:19+00:00	kfor.com	https://kfor.com/news/parents-track-down-kidnapping-suspect-tackle-him-in-the-mall/
Louisiana Christian sweeps doubleheader from Southwest (N.M.) ALEXANDRIA – The Wildcats of Louisiana Christian University swept the first two contests of their three-game series with the University of the Southwest (N.M.) on Saturday and strengthened their hold on second place in the Red River Athletic Conference. At Holy Savior Menard Central High School in Alexandria, LCU (25-10, 17-6 RRAC) took game one by a score of 6-1, and then pummeled Southwest 14-0 in the second game of the doubleheader. With the wins, the Wildcats now have a two-and-a-half-game lead over Our Lady of the Lake (Texas) and LSU–Alexandria. LCU concludes their series against Southwest on Monday. GAME ONE: Wildcats 6, USW 1 (Box Score) LCU plated four runs in the first and then knocked two sacrifice flies in the second inning while Colten Newsom pitched the first of two complete games for the Wildcats. With two outs in the bottom of the first, the Wildcats opened the scoring when Drake Angeron scored on a wild pitch on ball four to Ju’Juan Franklin. The ‘Cats then got consecutive RBI singles from Dylan David, Adrian Aguilar, and Nick Moreau to build their lead to 4-0. Peyton Lamartiniere and Franklin then added back-to-back sacrifice flies the following inning. Making his first start of the season, Newsom quieted the Mustang bats as he struck out four batters and issued only one walk over seven innings while scattering six hits. The Mustangs got their lone run in the third inning when Gavin VanGronigen singled home Kevan Diaz from second base. Nick Lorio went 3-for-3 for the ‘Cats and scored twice in the game. Angeron also scored twice while collecting two hits in the contest. GAME TWO: Wildcats 14, USW 0 (Box Score) The ‘Cats gave Beau Hebert more than enough run support as the senior pitcher from New Iberia, La., pitched the first complete-game shutout by an LCU hurler this season. In arguably his finest performance of the season, Hebert struck out eight batters and allowed only three hits and one walk to improve his season record to 9-1. The three hits by the Mustangs were the fewest given up by Hebert in a pitching outing of seven or more innings this season. At the plate, Haydon Helms led the way for the ‘Cats with four RBIs as part of a 2-for-2 showing. He entered the game as a pinch-hitter in the fourth inning and knocked a two-RBI single, and then knocked two more runs home with a double in the fifth inning. Aguilar and Moreau each collected two RBIs, with Moreau going 2-for-4. Nicholas Brunet went 2-for-2 and scored three runs. Angeron, Lorio, Lamartiniere, and Aguliar all scored twice in the game. The Wildcats scored in each of the first five innings and plated 11 runs in the third, fourth, and fifth innings. ON DECK: The Wildcats conclude their series with Southwest at 4 p.m. Monday, April 10, back on the LCU campus at Billy Allgood Field. The ‘Cats will then travel to Lake Charles for an exhibition game at McNeese State on Tuesday, April 11; first pitch from the Cowboys is scheduled for 6 p.m. – LCU –	2023-04-11T23:08:00+00:00	klax-tv.com	http://klax-tv.com/louisiana-christian-sweeps-doubleheader-from-southwest-n-m/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=louisiana-christian-sweeps-doubleheader-from-southwest-n-m

Ukrainian soldiers who have spent weeks barricaded under a massive steel plant amid heavy Russian bombing and shelling have been evacuated to Russian-occupied territory in Ukraine's east. The evacuation from the besieged Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol was an arrangement that Ukrainian authorities said was made with the help of the United Nations and other agencies. In a statement posted to Facebook, Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar said that more than 260 soldiers were evacuated to Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine, including 53 seriously injured fighters who arrived at a medical facility in the occupied town of Novoazovsk. The rest are in Olenivka, another occupied town where thousands of Ukrainians were reportedly taken by Russian troops attacking Mariupol. Russian bombing and shelling has destroyed nearly the entire city. Russian media showed soldiers arriving on stretchers. It's unclear if the soldiers have been taken prisoner or are under the protection of the U.N., but Malyar said the soldiers can come home "after an exchange of prisoners" with Russia. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukrainian authorities had worked with the International Red Cross to help secure the soldiers' evacuation. Speaking on his Telegram channel, he said, "we have hope that we will be able to spare the lives of our soldiers." "I would like to emphasize: Ukraine needs its heroes alive," he said. Hundreds of soldiers remain in the plant. It's unclear how long it will take to get everyone out. The soldiers holed up in the catacombs of the massive steel plant more than 80 days ago, trying to hang on to Mariupol. The U.N.'s humanitarian agency evacuated hundreds of civilians last month.

BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s defense minister voiced caution Wednesday over media reports that a pro-Ukraine group was involved in blowing up the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea last year. German daily newspaper Die Zeit and public broadcasters ARD and SWR reported Tuesday that investigators were able to largely reconstruct how the pipelines from Russia to Germany were sabotaged on the night of Sept. 26, 2022. Citing multiple unnamed officials, the news outlets reported that five men and a woman used a yacht hired by a Ukrainian-owned company in Poland to carry out the attack. German federal prosecutors confirmed that a boat was searched in January. The New York Times also reported Tuesday that U.S. officials reviewed intelligence that suggested a pro-Ukrainian group was behind the blasts. The Ukrainian government has denied involvement. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said he read the news reports “with great interest” but warned against drawing hasty conclusions. “We need to clearly differentiate whether it was a Ukrainian group that acted on the orders of Ukraine or … without the government’s knowledge,” he told reporters in Stockholm. Speaking on the sidelines of a European Union defense ministers meeting, Pistorius said some experts also had raised the possibility of a so-called false flag operation by a group pretending to be Ukrainian. “It would not be the first time in the history of such events,” the German minister said. “As such, I’m refraining from drawing premature conclusions.” Asked whether the reports could undermine Western support for Ukraine, Pistorius said he preferred to respond once he had reliable information. “Anything else is hypothetical,” he added. Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov rejected suggestions that the attack might have been ordered by Kyiv. “It’s like a compliment for our special forces, but this is not our activity,” he told reporters in Stockholm. According to the German media reports, the suspects used forged passports when hiring the boat, which set off from the German port of Rostock. A captain, two divers, two diving assistants and a doctor made up the group, ARD reported. Germany’s Federal Prosecutors Office declined to comment directly on the reports. But it confirmed that investigators conducted a search from Jan. 18-20 “in connection with a suspicious boat hire.” “There is a suspicion that the boat in question could have been to transport explosive devices that exploded on Sept. 26, 2022, on the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines,” the prosecutors office said in an email to The Associated Press. “The evaluation of the seized traces and objects is ongoing.” “The identity of the perpetrators and their motives are the subject of ongoing investigations,” it added. “At present, it is not possible to make any reliable statements on this, in particular on the question of state control.” “In the course of the further investigation, all leads to clarify the facts of the case will be pursued,” prosecutors said. “There are no grounds for suspecting employees of the German company that leased the ship.” Søren Thiim Andersen, an official on the small Baltic Sea island of Christiansoe, told Danish daily Berlingske that he was contacted by police in January seeking to talk to people who may have photographed ships that had been in the harbor around Sept. 16-18. White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby declined Tuesday to comment on the New York Times report, noting that investigations by Denmark, Germany, and Sweden remain active. Aside from the economic damage, the blasts released huge amounts of planet-warming methane. “We need to let these investigations conclude,” Kirby said. “And only then should we be looking at what follow-on actions might or may not be appropriate.” His comments were echoed by NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg. “There are ongoing national investigations, and I think it’s right to wait until those are finalised before we say anything more about who was behind,” he told reporters in Stockholm. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Wednesday described the media reports alleging Ukrainian involvement in the Nord Stream explosions as a coordinated manipulation intended to cover up the organizers of the attack. “The masterminds of the terror attack clearly want to distract attention,” Peskov said in remarks carried by the state RIA Novosti news agency. Russian President Vladimir Putin and his officials have accused the U.S. of staging the pipeline explosions, which they described as a terror attack. Peskov again noted that Russia was denied access to evidence from the investigation. He called for a transparent international probe. The Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines have long been a target of criticism by the United States and some of its allies, who warned that they posed a risk to Europe’s energy security by increasing dependence on Russian gas. Germany halted certification of the still-uncommissioned Nord Stream 2 after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and Moscow stopped the flow of gas in Nord Stream 1 weeks before the attack. Dutch gas transport and storage company Gasunie said Wednesday it does not expect the sabotaged Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines to come back into service any time soon and has written off its multimillion-euro investment in the project. “In the current geopolitical context, Gasunie does not foresee a resumption of gas deliveries via Nord Stream for the foreseeable future and, as a result, does not expect to receive any more dividends,” the company said in its annual report. Gasunie, whose transportation and storage activities serve the Netherlands and parts of Germany, had invested 508 million euros for a 9% stake in Nord Stream. It slashed the value of the investment in July to 240 million euros and now has written it off entirely. ___ Lorne Cook in Brussels, Jan M.

3 killed, dozens hurt when train strikes dump truck in Missouri June 27, 2022 - 5:24 pm MENDON, Mo. — An Amtrak passenger train traveling from Los Angeles to Chicago struck a dump truck Monday in a remote area of Missouri, killing three people and injuring dozens more as seven rail cars tumbled off the tracks and landed on their sides, officials said. Two of those killed were on the train and one was in the truck, Missouri State Highway Patrol spokesman Cpl. Justin Dunn said. It was not immediately clear exactly how many people were hurt, the patrol said, but hospitals reported receiving more than 40 patients from the crash and were expecting more. Amtrak’s Southwest Chief was carrying about 243 passengers and 12 crew members when the collision happened near Mendon at a rural intersection on a gravel road with no lights or electronic controls, officials said. Seven cars derailed, the patrol said. Passenger Robert Nightingale said he was dozing in his sleeper room when the crash occurred. “Everything started to go in slow motion,” he told CNN, describing how the train rocked before tumbling onto its side. Nightingale was able to climb out of the side of the rail car. “We all just sat there shocked,” said Nightingale, the owner of an art gallery in Taos, New Mexico. It’s too early to speculate on why the truck was on the tracks, said National Transportation Safety Board Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy. A team of NTSB investigators will arrive Tuesday, she said. Trains won’t run be able to run on the track for “a matter of days” while they gather evidence, she added. At one point, helicopter video of the site from KMBC-TV in Kansas City showed rail cars on their side as emergency responders used ladders to climb into one of them. Six medical helicopters parked nearby were waiting to transport patients. Close to 20 local and state law enforcement agencies, ambulance services, fire department and medical helicopter services responded, Dunn said. The first emergency responders arrived within 20 minutes of receiving a 911 call, he said. Passengers included 16 youths and eight adults from two Boy Scout troops who were traveling home to Appleton, Wisconsin, after a backcountry excursion at the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. No one in the group was seriously injured, said Scott Armstrong, director of national media relations for the Boy Scouts of America. The Scouts administered first aid to several injured passengers, including the driver of the dump truck, Armstrong said. High school students from Pleasant Ridge High School in Easton, Kansas, who were headed to a Future Business Leaders of America conference in Chicago, were also aboard, Superintendent Tim Beying told The Kansas City Star. It was the second Amtrak collision in as many days. Three people were killed Sunday afternoon when an Amtrak commuter train smashed into a car ín Northern California, authorities said. The Southwest Chief takes about two days to travel from Los Angeles to Chicago, picking up passengers at stops in between. Mendon, with a population of about 160, is about 84 miles northeast of Kansas City.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — When the final whistle blew, Rodrygo kneeled to apparently say a prayer or ask for thanks before joining the celebrations and throwing on a T-shirt reading “Let’s go for the 14th.” The young Brazilian was trying to absorb how he had etched his name into Real Madrid’s long love story with the European Cup. After all, “We were dead,” he said. Rodrygo’s goals in the 90th minute and in stoppage time had inspired another win for the ages. The 3-1 victory over Manchester City gave Madrid yet another comeback and set it up for a showdown with Liverpool in the Champions League final on May 28 in Paris. “I don’t have words for what happened today. God looked at me and said, ‘Today is your day’,” Rodrygo said about his two goals that sent Wednesday’s match into extra time at the Santiago Bernabéu. City was moments away from returning to the final before the substitute forward stunned the English team with his back-to-back goals, inspiring Madrid to victory like a bruised boxer who lands a knockout combination. Madrid, which had trailed City ever since minute 2 of their first-leg match in Manchester, was finally level. Pep Guardiola’s team still had another half hour of extra time, but it never recovered. It seemed inevitable that once resuscitated there was no stopping Madrid. And fittingly it fell to Karim Benzema, the man who had carried Madrid to the final four with hat tricks in the previous two rounds, to earn and convert the decisive penalty that clinched a 6-5 aggregate victory. “I couldn’t hear what my teammates were saying to me because I couldn’t believe what was happening,” the 21-year-old Rodrygo said about the mayhem that erupted after his goals. “We were dead, and then what happened was what happened.” Indeed. Surely Guardiola and his players were asking themselves the same question: What had just happened? Perhaps City can take solace in that Paris Saint-Germain and defending champion Chelsea were also zombified by whatever wizardry Madrid somehow conjures up at the biggest moments of the biggest games. All good teams occasionally score against the flow of the game. But most, and especially this City engineered by soccer’s top stylist in Guardiola, need to dominate stretches of play to produce lots of goals. Not Madrid. Not when it plays in front of its fans. The clock becomes meaningless for Madrid at home. The 13-time European Cup winners produce those magic moments when time is suddenly compressed, the crowd roars, opponents freeze, and the goals just flow in quick succession. Ask PSG how Benzema was able to score three goals in less than 20 minutes of the second leg of their round-of-16 series that Kylian Mbappé’s team had once controlled to advance 3-2 overall. Ask Chelsea how it was they could have the momentum going into the final period of their quarterfinal in Spain’s capital only for Rodrygo and Benzema to score late for a 5-4 aggregate win in extra time. City entered the second leg against Madrid with the advantage after coming out on top of their 4-3 shootout last week. Riyad Mahrez’s goal in the 73rd minute appeared to give it the cushion it needed to avoid any last-minute scares. Jack Grealish then went oh-so-close to padding that lead. But that just set the scene for Rodrygo, who coach Carlo Ancelotti had sent on for a tired Toni Kroos, looking to spark his attack. First he slipped to the near post to tap in a cross knocked to him by Benzema just when City suffered a momentary drop in concentration. Seconds later, with Madrid seizing the moment, came his header when the slight forward managed to open up a bit of space in a packed area to push in a cross by Dani Carvajal flicked on by Marco Asensio. Once again, faith had trumped reason at the Santiago Bernabéu. “The whole world thought the game was nearly over — it was a little detail, a good combination, the goal of Rodrygo, and from there we put in all the energy we had. You need a bit of luck,” Ancelotti said. “A big amount of merit goes to the players and also a fanbase who push and push and push. And the weight of the shirt, which the players feel when they wear it — the pride of the club.” Spanish sports daily Marca summed it up with its front-page headline: “Let God come down and explain it.” While Ancelotti embraced his son and assistant Davide Ancelotti, Guardiola was left to run a hand over the top of his head and put on his best sportsman’s grin as he shook hands with the players. The Catalan coach had just witnessed his grand design to finally win a European Cup for City succumb before that gift that Madrid has of making its players believe that by donning the all-white shirt they are destined for glory. Only the golden years of Lionel Messi’s Barcelona, which Guardiola helped forge, was able to somewhat dim that mystique. “In that moment we didn’t have the feeling we were in trouble,” Guardiola said about the loss. “(But) they score a goal at the end. They have done it many times in their history.” ___ More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	2022-05-05T20:00:58+00:00	ourquadcities.com	https://www.ourquadcities.com/sports/madrid-warps-time-yet-again-to-stun-city-at-the-bernabeu/
FDA authorizes 1st COVID-19 shots for infants, preschoolers WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. regulators on Friday authorized the first COVID-19 shots for infants and preschoolers, paving the way for vaccinations to begin next week. The Food and Drug Administration’s action follows its advisory panel’s unanimous recommendation for the shots from Moderna and Pfizer. That means U.S. kids under 5 — roughly 18 million youngsters — are eligible for the shots, about 1 1/2 years after the vaccines first became available in the U.S. for adults, who have been hit the hardest during the pandemic. The FDA also authorized Moderna’s vaccine for school-aged children and teens. Pfizer’s shots had previously been the only ones available for those ages. There’s one step left: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends how to use vaccines and its vaccine advisers are set to discuss the shots for the youngest kids Friday and vote on Saturday. A final signoff would come from CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky. At a Senate hearing Thursday, Walensky said her staff was working over the Juneteenth federal holiday weekend “because we understand the urgency of this for American parents.” She said pediatric deaths from COVID-19 have been higher than what is generally seen from the flu each year. “So I actually think we need to protect young children, as well as protect everyone with the vaccine and especially protect elders,” she said. For weeks, the Biden administration has been preparing to roll out the vaccines. States, tribes, community health centers and pharmacies preordered millions of doses. FDA’s emergency use authorization allows manufacturers to begin shipping vaccine across the country. Vaccinations could begin as early as Monday or Tuesday. Some parents have been anxiously awaiting the chance to protect their little ones. While young children generally don’t get as sick from COVID-19 as older kids and adults, their hospitalizations surged during the omicron wave and FDA’s advisers determined that benefits from vaccination outweighed the minimal risks. Studies from Moderna and Pfizer showed side effects, including fever and fatigue, were mostly minor. “As we have seen with older age groups, we expect that the vaccines for younger children will provide protection from the most severe outcomes of COVID-19, such as hospitalization and death,” FDA Commissioner Robert Califf said in a statement. The two brands use the same technology, but there are differences. Pfizer’s vaccine for kids younger than 5 is one-tenth of the adult dose. Three shots are needed: the first two given three weeks apart and the last at least two months later. Moderna’s is two shots, each a quarter of its adult dose, given about four weeks apart for kids younger than 6. The vaccines are for children as young as 6 months. Moderna next plans to study its shots for babies as young as 3 months old. Pfizer has not finalized plans for shots in younger infants. A dozen countries, including China, already vaccinate kids under 5. Dr. Beth Ebel, professor of pediatrics at University of Washington in Seattle, said the tot-sized vaccines would be especially welcomed by U.S. parents with children in daycare where outbreaks can sideline parents from jobs, adding to financial strain. “A lot of people are going to be happy and a lot of grandparents are going to be happy, too, because we’ve missed those babies who grew up when you weren’t able to see them,” Ebel said. ___ AP Medical Writers Laura Ungar and Carla K.

(CNN) — Seventeen-year-old Ethan Crumbley is set to appear in court Thursday, where a judge will consider whether he should spend the rest of his life in prison for killing four students and wounding seven others at Michigan’s Oxford High School in 2021. Crumbley pleaded guilty in October to one count of terrorism causing death, four counts of first-degree murder and 19 other charges stemming from the mass shooting he carried out at his high school when he was 15 years old. As an adult, Crumbley would be sentenced to life in prison without parole, the harshest punishment under Michigan law. Because he’s a minor, the court needs to hold a hearing to consider whether he should have a chance for eventual release. The so-called Miller hearing is named after a US Supreme Court case, Miller v. Alabama, which struck down mandatory life-without-parole sentences for minors. The hearing is scheduled for Thursday and Friday. Prosecutors will argue that Crumbley deserves a life sentence without parole. Crumbley’s lawyers will present mitigating factors, including his age, home life and the possibility that he can be rehabilitated, to argue that life without parole is disproportionate. Last week, Crumbley’s lawyers asked the judge to take the possibility of life without parole off the table before the Miller hearing. Judge Kwame Rowe denied the request, along with their requests to limit witnesses and allow Crumbley to wear street clothes during the hearing.

US home building jumped higher in February, turning around after five consecutive months of falling. Housing starts, a measure of new home construction, rose by 9.8% in February from January. But that's still down 18.4% from a year ago, according to data released Thursday by the Census Bureau. Starts in January rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.450 million, up from the revised January estimate of 1.321 million. Housing starts had big drops in May and July last year, when spiking mortgage rates pushed many prospective home buyers to the sidelines. Starts bounced back slightly in August, but have been falling since then. Single‐family housing starts in February were up 1.1% from the revised January figure, at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 830,000. As mortgage rates trended lower from November through January, builders have begun to feel more optimistic that conditions may improve in 2023. But recent strong economic data and uncertainty in the banking sector mean that inflation concerns remain, along with volatile mortgage rates. Building permits, which track the number of new housing units granted permits, jumped up in February for the second month in a row, rising 13.8% from the revised January rate, and were down 17.9% from a year ago. In February building permits were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.524 million. New homes providing needed inventory "Moving into the spring home selling season, builders showed signs of optimism in anticipation of more buyer demand," said Kelly Mangold of RCLCO Real Estate Consulting. "However, interest rates and development costs remain high, while prices are softening — which is impacting the potential upside on home sales." And mortgage rates remain volatile for buyers. Rates climbed half a percentage point throughout February, but are now cooling again as uncertainty in the banking industry has sent investors to the relative safety of bonds. Historically low inventory of existing homes — many owned by homeowners reluctant to sell and part with an ultra-low mortgage rate — is pushing many buyers toward new construction housing. "The number of existing homes on the market has reached record low levels which is giving new homes less competition — and they are often one of the only options for motivated buyers," Mangold said. According to a recent analysis of the housing market, the United States was short about 6.5 million homes between 2012 and 2022. New construction of all kinds is critical to closing that gap. "We are currently in a period of economic uncertainty, and it is possible that we could see improvements as the year progresses, or that starts could experience a continued decline if we enter a true recession," said Mangold.	2023-03-16T14:07:29+00:00	albanyherald.com	https://www.albanyherald.com/news/business/us-home-building-surged-in-february/article_292a5d42-8e36-5780-95c5-954b917b46d8.html
AVONDALE, Ariz. — Sammy Smith won the Xfinity Series race at Phoenix Raceway on Saturday, the first victory for the 18-year-old high school student who is taking classes online so he can be a full-time driver. “It’s amazing. It’s a dream come true,” Smith said. “It’s awesome.” Ryan Truex finished second, followed by Sheldon Creed, Riley Herbst and Chandler Smith. Busch was second following a final restart with 15 laps to go, but made contact with Chandler Smith on the final lap and ended up ninth. Sammy Smith put JGR in victory lane in Phoenix for the 16th time in the second-tier series and for the sixth consecutive year — with six different drivers. Christopher Bell (2018), Busch (2019), Brandon Jones (2020), Daniel Hemric (2021) and Ty Gibbs (2022) previously celebrated at the mile-long track in the desert. Smith also became the youngest Xfinity Series winner at Phoenix. He did so with seemingly relative ease, leading 92 of 200 laps in the United Rentals 200 and not facing any significant challenges down the stretch. Busch briefly passed him following a restart with 24 laps to go, but Smith went right back by for good. After driving nine races for Gibbs last year, Smith is now running a full slate for Gibbs. He had to give up his senior year of high school to make it happen. ALLGAIER DISAPPOINTED Justin Allgaier failed to extend his streak of top-three finishes. The JR Motorsports driver crashed with 22 laps remaining when he made contact with Kaz Grala and slammed into the outside wall. He finished 36th in a 38-car field. It was a disappointing ending for Allgaier, who won the first two stages of the race. He also had finished third or better in four consecutive Xfinity Series races. He was third in the 2022 season finale at Phoenix, third in the 2023 opener at Daytona, third at Fontana and second last week at Vegas.

Oklahoma approves the nation’s most restrictive abortion ban OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma’s Legislature gave final approval Thursday to another Texas-style anti-abortion bill that providers say will be the most restrictive in the nation once the governor signs it. The bill is part of an aggressive push in Republican-led states across the country to scale back abortion rights. It comes on the heels of a leaked draft opinion from the U.S. Supreme Court that suggests justices are considering weakening or overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nearly 50 years ago. The bill by Collinsville Republican Rep. Wendi Stearman would prohibit all abortions, except to save the life of a pregnant woman or if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest that has been reported to law enforcement. “Is our goal to defend the right to life or isn’t it?” Stearman asked her colleagues before the bill passed on a 73-16 vote mostly along party lines. The bill is one of at least three anti-abortion bills sent this year to Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, who has indicated he’ll sign it. Another Texas-style abortion bill that prohibits the procedure after cardiac activity can be detected in the embryo, which experts say is about six weeks, already has taken effect and has already dramatically curtailed the practice in Oklahoma. Another bill set to take effect this summer would make it a felony to perform an abortion, punishable by up to 10 years in prison. That bill contains no exceptions for rape or incest. “At this point, we are preparing for the most restrictive environment politicians can create: a complete ban on abortion with likely no exceptions,” said Emily Wales, interim president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Great Plains, which stopped providing abortions at two of its Oklahoma clinics after the six-week ban took effect earlier this month. “It’s the worst-case scenario for abortion care in the state of Oklahoma.” Like the Texas law, the Oklahoma bill would allow private citizens to sue abortion providers or anyone who helps a woman obtain abortion. After the U.S. Supreme Court allowed that mechanism to remain in place, other Republican-led states sought to copy Texas’ ban. Idaho’s governor signed the first copycat measure in March, although it has been temporarily blocked by the state’s Supreme Court. After Texas passed its bill last year, there was a dramatic reduction in the number of abortions performed in that state, with many women going to Oklahoma and other surrounding states for the procedure. There are legal challenges pending in Oklahoma to both the bill to criminalize abortion and the six-week Texas ban, but the courts have so far failed to stop either measure.

Sign up for our daily newsletter her Welcome to “Good Morning, Illini Nation,” your daily dose of college basketball news from Illini beat writer and AP Top 25 voter Scott Richey. He’ll offer up insights every morning on Brad Underwood’s team: Now that Southern Utah has been eliminated from the CBI, every former Illinois basketball player still playing college hoops somewhere else has seen their season come to an end. (Most of them much earlier than Tevian Jones). Here's a look at how they all fared in 2022-23: Tevian Jones, Southern Utah Jones and the Thunderbirds just missed on an NCAA tournament bid after losing in the WAC tournament title game to Grand Canyon. So it was on to the CBI where Southern Utah reached the semifinals before losing 108-106 in double overtime to Eastern Kentucky. Jones started every game for the Thunderbirds this season and averaged a career high 17.8 points while shooting a career best 36.2 percent from three-point range. Jacob Grandison, Duke Grandison's playing time dropped in his lone season at Duke, but he did appear in all 36 games off the bench for the Blue Devils. The soon-to-be 25-year-old simply fulfilled his role as an adult in the room on another young Duke team. Grandison averaged 4.4 points and 2.0 rebounds and saw his three-point shooting dip to 33.7 percent after two seasons at Illinois at better than 40 percent. Omar Payne, Jacksonville Payne's season with the Dolphins worked out about as well as his one-and-done stay in Champaign. The 6-foot-10 forward started nine games out of the 25 he played and averaged just 4.8 points and 3.2 rebounds. He came up one rebound short of a double-double against Notre Dame on Dec. 27 with 10 points and nine boards and never scored in double figures the rest of the season. Jermaine Hamlin, Eastern Illinois It was a diminished role for Hamlin in his second season with the 9-22 Panthers. The Lincoln native started just two games and saw his playing time drop from 20.7 minutes per game in 2021-22 to 9.3 minutes per game this past season. Hamlin's production went with it, as he averaged just 3.1 points and 2.0 rebounds. Benjamin Bosmans-Verdonk, South Carolina Bosmans-Verdonk got the bigger role he was searching for when he left Illinois for South Carolina, as his playing time doubled and he started 14 games for the Gamecocks. It was still a limited role, though, as the 6-8 Belgian averaged 1.9 points and 3.1 rebounds. Adam Miller, LSU It was not a successful season in Baton Rouge, La., for first-year coach Matt McMahon. LSU went 14-19 overall and finished 2-16 and in last place in the SEC. Miller, healthy again after missing the 2021-22 season with a torn ACL, averaged 11.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists for the Tigers. It was more than he scored in his one season at Illinois, but his efficiency was worse. The Peoria native shot just 33.6 percent overall and 31.6 percent from three-point range. Andre Curbelo, St. John's Let's just say Curbelo's do over at St. John's didn't go well. The former Illinois guard didn't play in three games and got the DNP-CD (coach's decision), and he was suspended for another game for a violation of team rules. Then he missed the final three games of the season after suffering yet another concussion. Wearing orange-tinted glasses when he did play for St. John's to dim the lighting in arenas because of his previous concussions, Curbelo averaged 9.6 points, 4.3 assists and 2.8 rebounds with a 42/29/70 shooting slash. What the coaching change in Queens means for Curbelo is to be determined, but new St. John's coach Rick Pitino doesn't seen enamored of many of the players he inherited. Brandin Podziemski, Santa Clara Podziemski attempted 460 shots this season at Santa Clara. That's 100 more than Terrence Shannon Jr. and 133 more than Matthew Mayer. That volume wasn't going to be available for Podziemski if he stayed in Champaign. Hence his departure, which turned into a breakout season for the Broncos and potentially a spot in the 2023 NBA Draft. Podziemski averaged 19.9 points, 8.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists and shot 43.8 percent from three-point range for Santa Clara. He declared for the draft earlier this week and currently projects as a potential early to mid-second round pick.	2023-03-24T19:41:16+00:00	news-gazette.com	https://www.news-gazette.com/newsletter/content/sports/illini_basketball/good-morning-illini-nation-how-did-former-illini-fare-in-2022-23/article_1762867f-8ea1-5fa7-892f-65607f044bfa.html
WASHINGTON (AP) — After major blows to his agenda by the Supreme Court, President Joe Biden is intent on making sure voters will have the final say. When the court’s conservative majority effectively killed his plan to cancel or reduce federal student loan debts for millions of people, Biden said, “Republicans snatched away the hope that they were given.” When the justices ended race-based affirmative action in college admissions, he said, “This is not a normal court.” When they overturned Roe v. Wade and a national right to abortion last year, the president said, “Voters need to make their voices heard.” As Biden heads into the 2024 election, he is running not only against the Republicans who control one-half of Congress but also against the conservative bloc that dominates the nation’s highest court. It’s a subtle but significant shift in approach toward the Supreme Court, treating it more like a political entity even as Biden stops short of calling for an overhaul. That shift is becoming apparent in everything from the White House’s messaging to its legal strategy. “The president respects the court’s authority, but if its judgments are going to be political and there are members of the court who are saying that, he owes it to voters to make it clear what his positions are and what he’s doing to address it,” said Ron Klain, his former chief of staff. “Many members of the current court testified that Roe is settled law and still overturned it,” he added, referring to the court’s ruling on abortion. “That has its consequences.” Biden, who once led the Senate Judiciary Committee, is focusing on the politicization of the court as a way to encourage voters to back him. Yet he has not embraced any effort to make big changes to the court. Instead, Biden is increasingly vocal about his belief that the court is abandoning mainstream constitutional interpretation. He tells voters they need more Democrats in Congress and a Democrat in the White House to counter the impact of the conservative-leaning court. Biden has won his share of cases, including on immigration, before a court where conservatives hold a 6-3 majority. But the student loan defeat capped a term when justices imposed significant roadblocks. White House officials say Biden is keen to explore other ways to pursue the same priorities and explain to the American people about the obstacles. “There’s only upside in running against the court as an institution because the court is doing things that are wildly unpopular and they’re preventing the president from implementing his agenda,” said Chris Kang, chief counsel of the progressive group Demand Justice and a onetime deputy counsel to President Barack Obama. “I think that it’s important to make clear that the Supreme Court is making it impossible to implement and advance policies that should not have any controversy attached to them,” he added. Republicans are working to portray Biden as overstepping his legal authority in pursuit of his agenda. They say the high court’s policies are in step with much of the country and they are trying to motivate their own voters by highlighting what the GOP has achieved through court rulings. Former President Donald Trump, at the recent Faith and Freedom Coalition conference in Washington, praised the three justices he had nominated to the Supreme Court. “Exactly one year ago today, those justices were the pivotal votes in the Supreme Court’s landmark decision ending the constitutional atrocity known as Roe v. Wade,” Trump said. He drew a standing ovation by noting that “conservatives had been trying for 50 years,” to overturn that ruling. “But I got it done and nobody ever thought it was a possibility.” Other administration officials said the court’s conservative dominance has lowered the political cost to Biden when the justices scuttle some of his legally suspect actions such as on student loans and coronavirus mandates. On the latter, the Supreme Court struck down Biden’s attempt to require employees of large companies to get shots but left the requirement in place for health care workers, though by that time the pandemic had started to wane. Klain insisted that everything Biden has put forward had a solid legal basis and was approved by the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel. “There was no sense of taking the legal issues lightly or just ‘do it and take whatever the court says,’’ he said. Confidence in the Supreme Court fell to its lowest point in at least 50 years after the leaked draft opinion in the abortion case in 2022. Those who view the current court favorably are largely Republican. According to the Pew Research Center’s September 2022 report, only 28% of Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents now view the court favorably, down nearly 40 percentage points since 2020. And people in the United States increasingly favor term limits. Positive views of the court among Republicans and those who lean Republican has increased to 73%. As a result, the partisan gap is larger than at any other point in the 35 years of polling that Pew has done on the court. Republicans have focused for years on remaking the federal judiciary and Supreme Court. When Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-K.Y., was the majority leader, he refused to even meet in 2016 with Obama’s pick for the high court — current Attorney General Merrick Garland, a federal judge at that time. The nomination stalled until a Republican president, Trump, took over. Establishment GOP operatives backed Trump because of his pledge to name as many judges to the bench as possible. Their gamble worked. Trump ended up with three Supreme Court nominees and 54 federal appeals court judges, reshaping the courts for a generation. Democrats are now finally understanding the power of judges as a voting tool, and Biden has made judicial nominations a priority, appointing a record number of judges for a president at this point in his first term, including some of the most diverse picks yet to the judiciary. Biden aides plan on highlighting those accomplishments during the reelection campaign, but acknowledge it’s only a small salve to their troubles at the high court. Biden has taken to warning voters about what else the Supreme Court might do in the future, whether rolling back same-sex marriage rights or access to contraception. “President Biden is being direct with the American people about the stakes these extreme decisions that jettison decades of longstanding precedent have for their fundamental freedoms and their daily lives,” said White House spokesman Andrew Bates. Part of Biden’s unwillingness to go further to reshape the Supreme Court comes from a sense of history. Those pushing social change stood by the court after Brown v. Board of Education, a major civil rights case, and even Roe v. Wade, holding up its autonomy as a way to push forward. Backing away from that, particularly for an establishment Democrat like Biden, is not easy. As Biden said in an interview with MSNBC, “I think if we start the process of trying to expand the court, we’re going to politicize it maybe forever in a way that is not healthy,” Leah Litman, a professor of law at the University of Michigan and co-host of “Strict Scrutiny” podcast about the Supreme Court, said that while Biden was unlikely to go that far, “there are a variety of things that Democratic politicians could run on that would actually allow them to more explicitly push back against the court.” Besides expanding the size of the Supreme Court and or the lower courts, she said, other options include stripping the Supreme Court of jurisdiction over certain cases, setting term limits and implementing ethics changes. All of them, she said, are things the party could embrace “as part of their recognition that the court has politicized itself.” __ Follow the AP’s coverage of the U.S. Supreme Court at https://apnews.com/hub/us-supreme-court	2023-07-09T21:40:54+00:00	cenlanow.com	https://www.cenlanow.com/politics/ap-politics/ap-stymied-by-the-supreme-court-biden-wants-voters-to-have-the-final-say-on-his-agenda/
More Than Thirteen U.S. Embassies, Consulates and Cultural Organizations Around the World Join in Wreath Laying Ceremonies Honoring Past Presidents and Their Cultural Impact WASHINGTON, Feb. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The White House Historical Association is partnering with U.S. embassies, consulates, and cultural organizations around the world for the second annual Presidents' Day Wreath Laying. Wreaths will be placed at presidential statues and monuments in the United States and abroad, honoring the history of American presidents globally and underscoring the meaningful leadership that each memorial represents. Stewart McLaurin, president of the White House Historical Association, traveled to England and Scotland to participate in six wreath placement ceremonies, including at Trafalgar Square in London to honor George Washington and at Old Calton Cemetery in Edinburgh where the only Civil War memorial of Abraham Lincoln outside of North America is located. "The significance of the wreath placements extends beyond Presidents' Day," said McLaurin. "It's a testament to the deep personal and cultural ties U.S. presidents and their time in the White House have to nations overseas." The tradition began in 2022 when the Association worked with the U.S. Consulate in Edinburgh, Scotland to place a wreath at the statue of Abraham Lincoln. The wreath placement tradition has now expanded to thirteen countries including Bulgaria, Canada, Greece, Mexico, and others. The Presidents' Day wreath placements are a constant reminder of the strong connections American presidents will continue to foster with counterparts across the globe. About the White House Historical Association The White House Historical Association was founded in 1961 by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy to support her vision to restore and preserve the Executive Mansion and its legacy for generations to come. Mrs. Kennedy sought to inspire Americans, especially children, to explore and engage with American history and its presidents. Supported entirely by private resources, the Association is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that has contributed more than $100 million to the White House in fulfillment of its mission.

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Firefighters have rescued a 13-year-old blind dog that fell into a hole at a California construction site. According to KABC-TV, the dog, named Cesar, lives next to the site in Pasadena with his owner. The dog apparently wandered onto the site, said Cesar’s owner Mary, who declined to give her last name. Cesar then fell into the hole, which was about 15 feet (4.5 meters) deep and 3 feet (0.91 meters) wide, around 7 p.m. Tuesday. Mary was alerted by the barking of her other dog. Cesar responded and she could hear he was no longer in her own yard. A Pasadena search and rescue team soon responded to the scene. Pasadena Fire Chief Chad Augustin said confined-space rescues present unique challenges for firefighters. “There’s lot of steps we need to do to make it as safe as possible. For not just the dog but also our rescuers,” Augustin said. The team hooked up a series of ropes and pulleys to lower one team member into the hole. It took the team member about 12 minutes to reach the dog, secure him in a harness and bring him back to the surface. Cesar appeared to be healthy and uninjured after he was brought out of the hole. He shook off a heavy coat of construction dirt and dust and was reunited with his owner at the scene.	2022-09-21T13:20:57+00:00	wric.com	https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/firefighters-rescue-blind-dog-from-hole-at-california-construction-site/
In a legal victory for former President Donald Trump, a federal judge on Monday granted his request for a special master to review documents seized by the FBI from his Florida home and also temporarily halted the Justice Department’s own use of the records for investigative purposes. The decision by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon authorizes an outside legal expert to review the records taken during the Aug. 8 search and to weed out from the rest of the investigation any that might be protected by claims of attorney-client privilege or executive privilege. Some of those records may ultimately be returned to Trump, but the judge put off a ruling on that question. The order came despite the strenuous objections of the Justice Department, which said a special master was not necessary in part because officials had already completed their review of potentially privileged documents. The department said it was reviewing the decision. The order almost certainly slows the pace of the department’s investigation into the presence of top-secret information at Mar-a-Lago, particularly given the judge’s directive that the Justice Department may not for the moment use any of the seized materials as part of its investigation into the storage of government secrets at the Florida property. That injunction is in place until the yet-to-be-named special master completes his or her work, “or further court order.” “The Court is mindful that restraints on criminal prosecutions are disfavored, but finds that these unprecedented circumstances call for a brief pause to allow for neutral, third-party review to ensure a just process with adequate safeguards,” Cannon, a Trump appointee, wrote in her 24-page order. Even so, it is not clear that the decision will have a significant effect on long-term investigative or charging decisions or the ultimate outcome of the probe. A separate assessment by the U.S. intelligence community of the risk posed by the apparent mishandling of classified records will continue under the judge's order. “While this is a victory for the former President, it is by no means an overwhelming win for him,” David Weinstein, a Florida criminal defense lawyer and former Justice Department prosecutor, said in an email. “While it is a setback for the government, it is also not a devastating loss for them.” U.S. & World Justice Department spokesman Anthony Coley said Monday that “the United States is examining the opinion and will consider appropriate next steps in the ongoing litigation.” A lawyer for Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The department and Trump's lawyers are to submit by Friday a list of proposed special master candidates. Trump’s lawyers had argued that a special master — usually an outside lawyer or former judge — was necessary to ensure an independent review of records taken during the search and so that any personal information or documents could be filtered out and returned to Trump. In this case, the seized records “include medical documents, correspondence related to taxes, and accounting information,” according to the judge's order. The judge said it was too soon to know whether Trump will be entitled to the return of any of the records, but “for now, the circumstances surrounding the seizure in this case and the associated need for adequate procedural safeguards are sufficiently compelling to at least get Plaintiff past the courthouse doors.” Though Cannon did not order the Justice Department to immediately return any of the seized documents to Trump, she said she found persuasive his lawyers' arguments that he faced potentially “irreparable injury” by being denied access to records that might be of significant personal interest to him. She said the investigative process had, so far, been “closed off” to him. “As a function of Plaintiff’s former position as President of the United States, the stigma associated with the subject seizure is in a league of its own,” Cannon wrote. “A future indictment, based to any degree on property that ought to be returned, would result in reputational harm of a decidedly different order of magnitude.” The Justice Department had argued against the appointment, saying it was unnecessary because it had already reviewed potentially privileged documents and identified a limited subset of materials that could be covered by attorney-client privilege. The department had also said that Trump was not entitled to the return of any of the presidential records that were taken since he is no longer president and the documents therefore do not belong to him. And personal items that were recovered were commingled with classified information, giving them potential value as evidence, the department has said. Though prosecutors had argued that Trump, as a former president, had no legal basis to assert executive privilege over the documents, the judge said he was entitled to raise it as a concern and allowed for the special master to look for records that might be covered by that privilege. “The major sticking point, I think, is that the executive privilege documents were included” in the judge’s decision, said Richard Serafini, a Florida criminal defense lawyer and former Justice Department prosecutor. He said he expected the department to appeal the order. Cannon, who was nominated to the bench by Trump in 2020, had signaled in a brief order last month that she was inclined to appoint a special master and did so again during arguments last week, asking at one point, “Ultimately, what is the harm in the appointment of a special master to sort through these issues without creating undo delay?” ____ Follow Eric Tucker on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/etuckerAP	2022-09-05T18:29:50+00:00	nbcchicago.com	https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/national-international/judge-grants-trump-bid-for-special-master-in-mar-a-lago-case/2931589/

VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, INDOCHINO, the global leader in custom apparel, launches their expansion into women's suiting. In the 15 years since launch INDOCHINO has built and honed a proprietary system for producing best-in-class made to measure apparel, providing the necessary expertise to drive this new category. Powered by strong, sustained growth throughout 2022, INDOCHINO will also reach the milestone of selling its one millionth suit later this month. 2022 has proven to be INDOCHINO's strongest year to date, driven by a renewed interest in tailored clothing as consumers return to the office, weddings and other events, as well as the brand's continued physical retail expansion. Showrooms and in-person measurement sessions are a cornerstone of the brand's success with net orders from physical retail locations up 87% this year. Without an equivalent made to measure option available in the women's apparel market, female customers have long turned to INDOCHINO. Until now, the brand has worked with them to adjust and customize products based on their existing men's silhouettes. With this expansion, INDOCHINO will now offer a new women's base pattern, developed over the past year.

A little more than halfway into their second campaign, the Seattle Kraken have already equaled the victory total — 27 — from their expansion season. The Pacific Division co-leaders will look to exceed that total when they play host to the defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night. “It tells me the work that the group in here has done. I mean, that’s the bottom line, right?” said Kraken coach Dave Hakstol, whose team shares first place in the division with the Vegas Golden Knights. “That’s what we’re here for. You’re here to compete for a playoff spot and positioning, and No. 1 on the list, continue competing every night for important points that go into the bank toward a playoff berth.” The Kraken earned win No. 27 on Thursday in their 45th game, defeating the New Jersey Devils 4-3 in overtime in the opener of a five-game homestand. Ryan Donato had two goals and an assist and Andre Burakovsky scored the winner 1:10 into extra time. Defenseman Vince Dunn had the primary assist on Burakovsky’s goal to extend his point streak to a career-high nine games (five goals, eight assists), the longest run in Kraken history. Seattle goaltender Martin Jones, the NHL’s reigning first star of the week, made 27 saves as the Kraken snapped a two-game skid after they won a franchise-record eight in a row. “We got these last couple of games before the All-Star break, so ending on the right note is definitely huge,” Donato said. “I mean, we’re playing against good teams and every point matters. Now I think we’ve climbed to the top of the standings in our division with that game, but you know, there’s going to be a lot of teams trying to knock us off the top, so I think winning those games is huge.” The Avalanche will be playing the second game of a back-to-back set after earning a 4-1 road victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Friday night. Colorado’s Mikko Rantanen had a goal, his team-leading 32nd of the season, and an assist, and Nathan MacKinnon assisted on a pair of power-play goals. The Avalanche have won four in a row, outscoring their opponents 21-5 in that stretch. Valeri Nichushkin, Andrew Cogliano and Brad Hunt also scored at Vancouver, and Alexandar Georgiev made 28 saves for the Avalanche, who were 1-6-1 in the previous eight games before the winning streak. “We’re just playing our style,” Cogliano said. “We’re getting up the ice a lot quicker, guys are much more predictable, and it seems like we’re defending less and playing more in their end. “We got guys like Val and Mikko and Nate, and when they get zone time, they turn the tide of the game and they’re tough to handle, and it just seems like our pace of our game is a lot higher.” Cale Makar, last season’s Norris Trophy winner as the league’s top defenseman, has missed the first two games of Colorado’s three-game trip due to an upper-body injury. He is listed as day-to-day. Makar had a six-game point streak (four goals, five assists) before being injured. The Saturday game will be the second meeting between the Kraken and Avalanche this season. Seattle won 3-2 in Denver on Oct. 21. The teams will conclude the season series on March 5 in Colorado. –Field Level Media	2023-01-21T21:20:12+00:00	krqe.com	https://www.krqe.com/sports/nhl-hockey/surprising-kraken-aim-to-prove-mettle-vs-avalanche/
Daylight saving time changes have a knack for wrecking people’s sleep schedules, but they don’t have to, according to the Farmers’ Almanac. The annual tradition this year is set to start at 2 a.m. on Sunday, requiring all Americans to set their clocks forward one hour. Daylight saving time will end at 2 a.m. on Nov. 5 this year. The practice of moving clocks ahead or back one hour each year has deprived many Americans of sleep for decades — so much that some state and federal lawmakers have tried to stop it. So far, their efforts have not been exactly fruitful. So while the time change is happening again this year no matter what, there are things you can do to mitigate the damage to your sleep cycle. Here are five tips the Almanac suggests people try to stave off daylight saving fatigue. Good bedtime habits In the days after the time change, stop drinking caffeinated beverages 4 to 6 hours before bedtime. Avoid alcohol in the evening. Also, if you exercise, avoid workouts within 4 hours of bedtime. Working out raises your body temperature temporarily, which can make it harder to fall asleep. Get consistent sleep Get at least 7 hours of sleep on the days before and after the time change. The closer you stick to your normal routine, the faster your body will adjust. If you really have trouble with the time changes, consider gradually adjusting your sleep and wake times a few days in advance by shifting bedtime 15 to 20 minutes each night. This could help your body slowly adjust. Keep dinnertime consistent and eat more protein On the days around the time change, eat at the same time or even a little early. Try to shift your mealtime forward 15 minutes for a few days in a row to help ease the transition. Also, try not to overeat and if you do feel like having a snack, choose one high in protein instead of carbohydrates. Take a short nap If you’re starting to stack up sleepless hours, it could be beneficial to take a short nap during the day instead of continuing without any sleep. Try not to take naps longer than 20 minutes though. Get more sunlight Go outside and expose yourself to morning sunlight on Sunday to help regulate your internal clock. Having shorter daylight hours can impact our mood and energy levels, decreasing serotonin. Try to take some time out of your morning or early afternoon for a walk outside while the sun is out.	2023-03-10T13:30:57+00:00	seattletimes.com	https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/daylight-saving-time-starts-this-weekend-here-are-5-tips-to-help/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all
Ukrainian Prime Minister wraps up active trip to Washington, DC. WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - After days of meetings with various North American officials, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said while his country needs money to continue its fight against Russian agression, Ukraine is also starting to look toward reconstruction. On his trip, Shmyhal met with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He also met with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. Shmyhal has identified a priority funding gap of $14 billion this year. Following her meeting with Shmyhal, Yellen promised additional economic and humanitarian air would be provided to Ukraine shortly. “The results of meetings with the representatives of the U.S. government once again prove the strategic character of the U.S. relations,” Shmyhal said. “During this visit, we saw once again that Ukraine has a reliable partners and true friends that will go with us to the victory as long as it takes.” Officials within the Biden Administration agree that rebuilding has to be a priority. The United Nations, the World Bank, the European Commission and Ukraine all estimate that rebuilding Ukraine would cost upwards of $400 billion. Copyright 2023 Gray DC.

Officials at North Hunterdon High School said they investigated and disciplined one or more students for distributing a racist video after multiple clips of students using racial slurs and making derogatory comments recently circulated online. In the brief clips, students use the N-word and other slurs, according to four videos reviewed by NJ Advance Media. In one of the videos, a student says she doesn’t like Black people. A spokeswoman for the North Hunterdon-Voorhees Regional High School District declined to answer questions about the incidents and referred to a Feb. 16 letter sent to the school community by Principal Greg Cottrell that said school officials were aware of one of the videos.	2023-02-24T15:16:12+00:00	nj.com	https://www.nj.com/news/2023/02/racist-video-circulating-around-nj-high-school-leads-to-investigation-discipline-officials-say.html
NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. government charged Samuel Bankman-Fried, the founder and former CEO of cryptocurrency exchange FTX, with a host of financial crimes on Tuesday, alleging he intentionally deceived customers and investors to enrich himself and others, while playing a central role in the company’s multibillion-dollar collapse. Federal prosecutors said Bankman-Fried devised “a scheme and artifice to defraud” FTX’s customers and investors beginning in 2019, the year it was founded. He illegally diverted their money to cover expenses, debts and risky trades at the crypto hedge fund he started in 2017, Alameda Research, and to make lavish real estate purchases and large political donations, prosecutors said in a 13-page indictment. Bankman-Fried, 30, was arrested Monday in the Bahamas at the request of the U.S. government, which charged him with eight criminal violations, ranging from wire fraud to money laundering to conspiracy to commit fraud. If convicted of all the charges, Bankman-Fried — referred to by crypto enthusiasts as “SBF” — could face decades in jail. At a press conference on Tuesday, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams called it “one of the biggest frauds in American history,” and said the investigation is ongoing and fast-moving. Bankman-Fried has fallen hard and fast from the top of the cryptocurrency industry he helped to evangelize. FTX filed for bankruptcy on Nov. 11, when it ran out of money after the cryptocurrency equivalent of a bank run. Before the bankruptcy, he was considered by many in Washington and on Wall Street as a wunderkind of digital currencies, someone who could help take them mainstream, in part by working with policymakers to bring more oversight and trust to the industry. Bankman-Fried had been worth tens of billions of dollars — at least on paper — and was able to attract celebrities like Tom Brady or former politicians like Tony Blair and Bill Clinton to his conferences at luxury resorts in the Bahamas. One prominent Silicon Valley firm, Sequoia Capital, invested hundreds of millions of dollars in FTX. Sporting shorts and t-shirts to contrast himself with the buttoned-down world of Wall Street, he was the subject of fawning media profiles, a vocal advocate for a type of charitable giving known as “effective altruism,” and garnered millions of Twitter followers. But since FTX’s implosion, Bankman-Fried and his company have been likened to other disgraced financiers and companies, such as Bernie Madoff and Enron. The criminal indictment against Bankman-Fried and “others” at FTX is on top of civil charges announced Tuesday by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The SEC alleges Bankman-Fried defrauded FTX customers by making loans to himself and other FTX executives, and illegally using investors’ money to buy real estate for himself and his family. No other FTX executives were named in the indictment, nor was the CEO of Alameda Research, Caroline Ellison. Also not named in the indictment: Bankman-Fried’s father, Joseph Bankman, a Stanford University law professor who was considered an adviser to his son. U.S. authorities said they will try to claw back any of Bankman-Fried’s financial gains from the alleged scheme. A lawyer for Bankman-Fried, Mark S. Cohen, said Tuesday he is “reviewing the charges with his legal team and considering all of his legal options.” At a congressional hearing Tuesday that was scheduled before Bankman-Fried’s arrest, the new CEO brought in to steer FTX through its bankruptcy proceedings leveled harsh criticism. He said there was scant oversight of customers’ money and “very few rules” about how their funds could be used. John Ray III told members of the House Financial Services Committee that the collapse of FTX, resulting in the loss of more than $7 billion, was the culmination of months, or even years, of bad decisions and poor financial controls. “This is not something that happened overnight or in a context of a week,” he said. He added: “This is just plain, old-fashioned embezzlement, taking money from others and using it for your own purposes.” Before his arrest, Bankman-Fried had been holed up in his luxury compound in the Bahamas. U.S. authorities are expected to request his extradition to the U.S., although the timing of that request is unclear. At a court hearing in the Bahamas on Tuesday, prosecutors argued that Bankman-Fried was a flight risk and should be held without bail, according to Our News, a broadcast news company based there. His lawyers said he is likely to request a formal extradition hearing. Bankman-Fried’s was previously one of the world’s wealthiest people on paper; at one point his net worth reached $26.5 billion, according to Forbes. He was a prominent personality in Washington, donating millions of dollars to Democrats and Republicans. U.S. Attorney Williams said Tuesday that Bankman-Fried made “tens of millions of dollars” in illegal campaign donations. His wealth unraveled quickly last month, when reports called into question the strength of FTX’s balance sheet. As customers sought to withdraw billions of dollars, FTX could not satisfy the requests: their money was gone. “We allege that Sam Bankman-Fried built a house of cards on a foundation of deception while telling investors that it was one of the safest buildings in crypto,” said SEC Chair Gary Gensler. The SEC complaint alleges that Bankman-Fried had raised more than $1.8 billion from investors since May 2019 by promoting FTX as a safe, responsible platform for trading crypto assets. Instead, the complaint says, Bankman-Fried diverted customers’ funds to Alameda Research without telling them. “He then used Alameda as his personal piggy bank to buy luxury condominiums, support political campaigns, and make private investments, among other uses,” the complaint reads. In the weeks after FTX’s collapse, but before his arrest, Bankman-Fried gave interviews to several news organizations in which he grasped for ways to explain what happened. For example, Bankman-Fried said he did not “knowingly” misuse customers’ funds, and that he believes angry customers will eventually get their money back. At Tuesday’s congressional hearing, the new FTX CEO bluntly disputed those assertions: “We will never get all these assets back,” Ray said. Jack Sharman, an attorney at Lightfoot, Franklin & White, said Bankman-Fried’s recent comments to the media could be damaging, admissible evidence in court. “Those statements in that speaking tour were in no way helpful to his cause,” Sharman said. In its complaint, the SEC challenged Bankman-Fried’s recent statements that FTX and its customers were victims of a sudden market collapse that overwhelmed safeguards that had been in place. “FTX operated behind a veneer of legitimacy,” said Gurbir Grewal, director of the SEC’s enforcement division. “That veneer wasn’t just thin, it was fraudulent.” The collapse of FTX — which followed other cryptocurrency debacles earlier this year — is adding urgency to efforts to regulate the industry. Yesha Yadav, a law professor at Vanderbilt University who specializes in financial and securities regulation, said U.S. lawmakers and regulators have been too slow to act, but that is likely to change. “Lawmakers are clearly under pressure to do something, given that so many people have lost their money,” she said. ______ Hussein contributed to this report from Washington.	2022-12-13T21:36:02+00:00	fox44news.com	https://www.fox44news.com/news/business-news/ap-sec-charges-former-ftx-ceo-with-defrauding-crypto-investors/
As WNBA star and two-time U.S. Olympic gold medalist Brittney Griner approaches the three-month mark of her detention in Russia, she has no clear prospect of release. The Phoenix Mercury All-Star center may as early as Friday face a Moscow court hearing, which is likely to extend her pre-trial detention. It doesn’t help that she was arrested in Moscow, at the lowest point of U.S.-Russian relations in decades. Here is a look at Griner’s predicament, and the efforts to secure her release. WHAT IS THIS NEXT LEGAL STEP? Griner was detained Feb. 17 and a hearing in a Russian court could come as early as Friday, or anytime before May 19 when her detention period is scheduled to end. The court will likely extend her pre-trial detention. No trial date has been set. May 19 is the day Griner’s detention period is scheduled to end, not a court or trial date. Courts in Russia routinely extend pre-trial detention, and suspects can spend years in jail awaiting trial. The Biden administration says Griner, 31, is being wrongfully detained. The WNBA and U.S. officials have worked toward her release, without visible progress. Griner was detained at the Moscow airport after vape cartridges containing oil derived from cannabis were allegedly found in her luggage, which could carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. HOW IS GRINER’S CASE VIEWED IN RUSSIA? The Russians have described Griner’s case as a criminal offense without making any political associations. But it comes amid Moscow’s war in Ukraine that has brought U.S.-Russian relations to the lowest level since the Cold War. Despite the strain, Russia and the United States carried out an unexpected prisoner exchange last month — trading ex-marine Trevor Reed for Konstantin Yaroshenko, a Russian pilot serving a 20-year federal sentence for conspiring to smuggle cocaine into the U.S. While the U.S. does not typically embrace such exchanges, it made the deal in part because Yaroshenko had already served a long portion of his prison sentence. The Russians may consider Griner a potential part of another such exchange. WHAT IS THE U.S. GOVERNMENT DOING? The State Department last week said it now regards Griner as wrongfully detained, a change in classification that suggests the U.S. government will be more active in trying to secure her release even while the legal case plays out. The status change places her case under the purview of the department’s Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs, which is responsible for negotiating for the release of hostages and Americans considered wrongfully detained. Also working on the case now is a center led by Bill Richardson, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations who helped the release of multiple hostages and detainees, including Reed. It’s not entirely clear why the U.S. government, which for weeks had been more circumspect in its approach, reclassified Griner as a wrongful detainee. But under federal law, there are a number of factors that go into such a characterization, including if the detention is based on being an American or if the detainee has been denied due process U.S. State Dept. spokesman Ned Price has confirmed that U.S. Ambassador John Sullivan had a meeting with Russian counterparts but would not say whether Griner was discussed or talk any further about her case. WHAT ARE THE WNBA AND MERCURY DOING? Griner will be paid her full salary of nearly $228,000 even though she is being detained. The WNBA also is acknowledging Griner’s absence with a decal on the home floor of all 12 teams that has her initials and No. 42. The WNBA approved giving the Mercury both roster and salary cap relief so they can carry a replacement player until Griner returns home. Phoenix wore shirts before their opening game last week saying “We are BG”. The WNBA and Mercury were at first reticent to say anything in fear of exacerbating Griner’s situation, but have become more vocal as her detention continues. Several players have spoken out, including Seattle Storm forward Breanna Stewart who has tweeted daily about Griner. “BG is on my mind every day,” Stewart recently said. “You have these moments where you just can’t believe that she’s still in Russia, wrongfully detained. Hoping we get her home. The WNBA isn’t the WNBA without BG.”	2022-05-13T01:11:51+00:00	cbs42.com	https://www.cbs42.com/sports/explainer-wnba-star-brittney-griners-detention-in-russia/
Enthusiasts who don’t want to spend $140,000 on a Porsche 911 can rejoice because the 911 Carrera T is back for 2023. Its build configurator is simple, its packaging is delightfully pure, and at $118,050 (including destination) it borders on reasonably priced. Well, for a 911. After an afternoon with the 2023 Porsche 911 Carrera T on the winding roads of Angeles Crest National Forest just outside Los Angeles, I can say this is all the 911 the purist needs (though, the 911 Dakar speaks to me), and it makes sense in all the ways enthusiasts claim they care about. History lesson The origin of the 911 Carrera T dates back to the 37th running of the Monte Carlo rally in 1968. The T, which meant Touring and still does, not only made its debut, but won the race. The concept back in 1968 was the same as it is today: make it lighter, and make it fun. It took 50 years for the T to return in 2017 with the 991.2-generation 2018 911 Carrera T. Porsche muddied the waters with that model by offering certain options that people didn’t choose. Since then, the T lineup has been expanded. In 2018, the 718 Boxster T and Cayman T arrived. Earlier in 2022, the 2023 the Macan T came into reality. Now, the 911 Carrera T has returned. I’m damn glad it has. The best bits The 911 Carrera T starts life as a base 911 with a twin-turbo 3.0-liter flat-6 rated at 379 hp and 331 lb-ft of torque. Then it starts grabbing upgrades from the 911 S’s bin. In a world of 572-hp 911 monsters, the base car’s power output might not seem like a lot, but it’s more than enough to land yourself in jail. Disclaimer: I didn’t land in jail. After a hot second and about 2,000 rpm the two small turbos kick in and the 911 slingshots forward with linear power delivery all the way to its 7,000-rpm redline. The flat-6 sings through a gloss-black tailpipes attached to a sport exhaust system with active baffles. Hit the toggle switch on the dashboard to open those valves. Your ears will thank me as they take in the flat-6’s mid-range symphony. That soundtrack is louder than in a base or Carrera S due to less sound deadener and thinner, lightweight glass. After hours of wringing out the flat-6, neither I nor my drive partner had a complaint. The T comes standard with three pedals (rejoice!). The 7-speed manual transmission is not available on the base 911 and comes as an option on the Carrera S, so the T is the most affordable way to get a manual 911. Porsche even shortened the shifter by 0.4 inch to make it more comfortable to shift, not that I really noticed the delightful shifter’s shorter height. Porsche spokesperson Luke Vandezande told Motor Authority the last-generation Carrera T had a 70% manual transmission take rate, which was one of the highest both in the U.S. and globally. For those who hate fun, live their lives by the tenths of a second it can save in the 0-60 mph run, and don’t want to #GiveAShift, a quick-shifting 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission is a no-cost option. The T isn’t the quickest 911, but does it really matter? It still hits 60 mph from a stop in just 4.3 seconds with the manual transmission (3.8 seconds with the dual-clutch) and reaches a top speed of 181 mph. A limited-slip rear differential with torque vectoring capability ripped from the Carrera S is standard. It’s not available on a base 911, and it helps put the power down in a stable fashion while ripping around canyon roads. The rear-wheel-steering system from the Carrera S can be optioned, but my test car wasn’t fitted with it. While a nice upgrade, it’s not necessary as the car rotates quite well without it, and I wouldn’t spend the money. Porsche’s carbon-ceramic brakes aren’t available on the latest generation Carrera T despite making an optional appearance on the last-gen model. The reason? The take rate was only 10%. The people have spoken. Besides, the Carrera T is a street-oriented 911, not some GT3 race car. The standard steel brakes never smoked, faded, or even smelled after I spent hours thrashing them at speed up and down the canyon roads. Porsche throws its PASM sport suspension, which includes adjustable dampers and a 0.4-inch lower ride height, onto the T, and the dampers adjust at the touch of a toggle. While I left them in their softer setting, my drive partner opted for Sport mode. Both settings control body motions without ever becoming too firm or jittery. Angeles Crest’s pavement can undulate in sections, which unsettles less composed suspensions, but the Carrera T just soaked up the road’s unseen imperfections with aplomb regardless of mode. It may be a great canyon cruiser, but the 911 Carrera T feels comfortable enough for a cross-country road trip. Porsche’s electric-assist power steering is among the best in the business, and the Carrera T’s is no different. Unchanged from the base 911, the precise and direct steering communicates what’s going on at the wheels well through the steering wheel. My fingertips could sense when the rubber was starting to reach the edge of its adhesion. My test car was fitted with the $280 Power Steering Plus option, which makes the steering lighter at slower speeds. I wouldn’t spend the money on this option as it artificially boosts the steering assist and doesn’t feel natural in a parking garage. Plus, why pay $280 to skip arm day? Visual giveaways Despite the lack of a big wing and prominent vents, the Carrera T isn’t hard to pick out in a parking lot full of 911s. It features a 911 Carrera T graphic along the lower portion of the doors and a badge on the rear end. The mirror housings are a contrasting Agate Grey color, which would drive me crazy as dark colors attract rock chips (probably should cover those in a PPF clear shield). The staggered 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels are painted Titanium Grey and sport 245/35 and 305/30 rubber in the form of grippy Pirelli P Zero tires. Inside, the dead giveaway this isn’t a base 911 is the lack of a rear seat. The rear seat delete is standard, though the 2+2 configuration can be added back as a no-cost option. Cutting the rear seat saves 17.6 pounds. Even the battery is a smaller and lighter unit. It’s that kind of attention to detail the Carrera T aims for and delivers in its pursuit of putting the perfect package together for enthusiasts. The standard Sport Chrono Package, which is an option on the Carrera S, adds additional drive modes, a drive mode selector to the steering wheel, an analog and digital clock to the center of the dashboard, and active engine mounts. Porsche swaps in a GT Sport steering wheel that feels natural in the hands and sports a classic look. It’s the perfect diameter, not too small, not too big, but just right. While 18-way adaptive sport seats or light-weight fixed-back carbon-fiber bucket seats are available (I recommend buyers make sure they can get comfortable in the carbon buckets before ordering), my tester featured the T’s standard 4-way power seats with extra firm padding. The seats are finished in an almost mesh-like cloth material Porsche calls Sport-Tex that looks and feels great. With power height and back adjustments and manual fore and aft adjustments, these seats feel like a throwback to simpler times, and they are supportive and comfortable to boot. The shiny piano black center console inlays will surely attract scratches in the early days of ownership. Enthusiasts for Touring All in, the Carrera T is 100 pounds lighter than the base 911, though few, if any, drivers will be able to notice the difference. Enthusiasts will notice, however, that the best bits from the Carrera S (some of which aren’t even standard on that model) come as standard or optional on the T. With the return of the 911 Carrera T, Porsche has packaged a sports car that makes performance, and enthusiast options, simple to obtain. It’s certainly not cheap, but it’s a value in 911 land.

Public schools at risk The first 10 words in Tom Campbell’s opinion piece “GOP lawmakers are destroying public schools” (June 6) has, in my opinion, always been true. He states that if the present North Carolina legislature has its way, education of our youth will change and cause a huge detriment to the sound education system that I, as a longtime N.C. public school teacher, experienced in the classroom. Mr. Campbell affirms in his writing that if the legislative body stays the course it is on, "students will leave traditional schools and fewer and fewer dollars will be available to support them. In time, traditional schools will end up with lower-performing and higher-needs students," resulting in "lower test scores and student performance." This will lead to a request for more instructional support with less funding to maintain what’s needed. People are also reading… Thank you, Mr. Campbell, for telling it like it is! As a citizen and now a retired educator, I urge the legislature to put public schools first with the money to make students the best they can be and to create respectable salaries for all school personnel. Bet Wilson Winston-Salem The end is near As the immortal Yogi Berra once said, "It ain't over till it's over." Well, it may not quite be over, but the Fat Lady is singing her scales. The die is cast, the fix is in and the con is on. Redford and Newman in "The Sting" would be jealous. Through sleight of hand, patently unfair election rules, shameless gerrymandering, by hook or by crook or just plain old pay for play, Republicans at all levels have rigged the game to ensure that they will elect or, in the case of the U.S. Supreme Court, appoint people who are not at all reflective of the ethics, morals and values of the very people they are supposed to be representing. The net result of this sham is that the laws, interpretations of those laws and the policies enacted by these bodies will be 100% contrary to the will of the vast majority of the citizens of the United States and the state of North Carolina. This is the precise opposite of the "representive government" that our founders sought back in our country's infancy. Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and James Madison are turning over in their graves. Never has there been a political party whose "relentless freedom from doubt" about its "rightness" (see Chief Justice John Roberts' comment regarding the Dobbs case) been so out of touch with the will of the people. Unfortunately, this is absolute proof that absolute power corrupts absolutely. We’re getting closer, Yogi! David Thompson Greensboro We're being tested An echo from the past renewed and delivered to us in the present: "Twelve score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. "Now we are engaged in a great political war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us that now highly resolve that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of union, that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth." Ben Andrews Greensboro Black patriots Ivan Saul Cutler wrote an excellent opinion piece; "This Memorial Day, remember the Black patriots of the Revolution" (May 26). He urged readers to consider a revolutionary act on this Memorial Day and "honor the nearly three dozen African American and other patriots of color who fought for American freedom right here at the pivotal Battle of Guilford Courthouse." So here is my revolutionary tribute. I am offering honor, respect, love and gratitude for their service to Adam Adams, Willis Boone, Cyfax Brown, Isaac Brown, Jim Capers, Thomas Carney, Edward Coleman, Francis Coley, William Cuff, John Epps, Andrew Ferguson, Simon Fralix, George (unknown last name), Thomas Gibson, Edward Going, Ned Griffin, Lazarus Harmon, Henry the Wagoner, Micajah Hicks, Henry Hill, Agrippa Hull, Zachariah Jacobs, Moses Knight, Thomas Mason, Andrew Peebles, Richard Pendergrass, Primus Record, Dempsey Reed, Daniel Strother, Drury Taborn, Ishmael Titus, John Toney and David Wilson. These Black patriots deserve the community's remembrance and appreciation. Joanna Winston Foley Berkeley, Calif. The writer's ancestor, Maj.

(KTLA) — The Walt Disney Company’s planned job cuts could begin in late March, Deadline reported Tuesday. Disney CEO Bob Iger announced on Feb. 8, that 7,000 jobs, representing around 3% of the company’s workforce, would be slashed. The reduction comes as Disney enacts a companywide plan to reduce costs by $5.5 billion. All company divisions, including theme parks, are expected to be impacted by the planned labor reduction. The company’s theme park division includes the Disneyland Resort; Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida; Disney cruise lines, and its international parks. Officials haven’t specified which Disney theme parks would be affected by the job cuts. Sources told Deadline that the first round of job cuts could begin on March 30 or March 31, but neither date has been confirmed. The publication was also told that another wave of job cuts would happen in late April. The April job cut wave was described as the “big one” or a “bloodbath” because that’s when a large number of people would be laid off, Deadline reported. There has also been speculation that a third wave of job cuts could happen between the March and April reductions, but that still remains unconfirmed. Deadline reported that company managers have already submitted their layoff target reports, a step corporations take before a major job cut happens. In addition to the planned job cuts, Disney has also instituted a hiring freeze, which was put in place under previous CEO Bob Chapek following a dismal earning report. When Iger returned to his old position as Disney’s top executive, he announced during a town hall meeting that the freeze would remain in place. KTLA reached out to The Walt Disney Company to confirm the timeline of the announced layoffs but has yet to receive a response.	2023-03-23T12:58:12+00:00	keloland.com	https://www.keloland.com/news/national-world-news/disneys-planned-job-layoffs-could-begin-late-this-month-report/
The Olympic flame for the 2024 Paris Games will be carried for 68 days before the cauldron is lit PARIS (AP) — The Olympic flame for the 2024 Paris Games will pass through 64 departments — including five overseas — and 400 towns over 68 days before the cauldron is lit. Organizers announced the route for the torch relay on Friday at a Paris university. “Paris 2024 is the greatest collective project in our history,” organizing committee president Tony Estanguet said. “The torch relay plays an important role because it has the capacity to touch so many people.” The torch will be lit by the sun’s rays on April 16 in Ancient Olympia, Greece. It will then be carried around the nation before its handover in Athens. The flame will leave Athens on April 27 aboard a three-mast ship named Belem for the French port of Marseille — a former Greek colony founded 2,600 years ago. The Belem was first used in 1896, the same year the modern Olympics came back. It will be skippered by French navigator Armel Le Cléac’h, winner of the solo around-the-world race Vendée Globe in 2017. The crew will reach Marseille on May 8. After leaving Marseille, the torch relay will take in heritage sites such the imposing Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy and the 2,500-year-old medieval city of Carcassone. It will also trail along the famed red-wine vineyards of Saint-Émilion and white-wine vines of Chablis. “They are the Games of the country,” said Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, citing French author Victor Hugo and his theme of universality. “Paris belongs to the whole country.” Including beyond its borders. A passage in France’s overseas territories, called the Relais des Oceans (Ocean Relay), will begin on June 9 in Guyana and will take in the Reunion Island, Polynesia, Gaudeloupe and Martinique before coming back to Nice on June 18. “It’s going to be spectacular,” said Estanguet, a three-time Olympic canoeing champion. Continuing over land, the torch will rise up the Alpine mountain pass of Chamonix for Olympic Day on June 23 before spending July 14 — known as Bastille Day, France’s national day — and July 15 in Paris. The torch will then tour various suburbs of Paris until returning via Seine-Saint-Denis — home to the Stade de France — before arriving back in Paris. “It’s an occasion to all come together, whatever our origins,” Hidalgo said. More precise details of the route in Paris will be given on July 5. The location of where the cauldron will be lit and at what time are being kept secret until the day itself, amid wide expectations it will be at the iconic Eiffel Tower. A total of 10,000 people will participate in the torch relay. The four captains of the relay will be Olympic swimming champions Laure Manaudou and Florent Manaudou — who are siblings — along with Paralympians Mona Francis (triathlon) and Dimitri Pavadé (long jump). SECURITY Local police forces responsible for each section of the relay will help with security. Law enforcement will escort and protect the flame with a security bubble around the torch and its carrier. A team of eight called “Les Gardiens de la Flamme” (The Guardians of the Flame) have been hand-picked to ensure the flame stays constantly lit. They were selected from police and military forces following an internal competition. The Paris Games will run from July 26-Aug. 11, followed by the Paralympics from Aug. 28-Sept. 8. The flame for the Paralympics will be lit in the British town of Stoke Mandeville and will be carried by 1,000 people. ___ 2024 Paris Olympics at https://apnews.com/hub/2024-paris-olympic-games and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.

Lt. Gov. Patrick campaigns for Land Commissioner candidate Buckingham Lt. Governor Dan Patrick and District 24 Texas Senator Dawn Patrick, MD stopped briefly in Wichita Falls Wednesday afternoon at the Wichita Falls Regional Airport. Lt. Gov. Patrick is supporting Sen. Buckingham in her campaign for Texas Land Commissioner. A few dozen supporters were there to hear them speak and ask a few questions. Topics such as border security, the federal government and the power grid were discussed. "We have really done a close look at human trafficking and increasing the penalties for that, trying to get that shut down, because that's truly the modern-day slavery. It's shocking how common it is and how prevalent it is," said Buckingham. She has a conservative voting record on issues such as a state income tax, funding for flood mitigation projects and election integrity. Buckingham added, "We're here today because Wichita, y'all are important to us, this part of Texas is important to us. We're very clear that rural Texas, in my opinion, is like the Texas spirit. Sen. Buckingham has been endorsed by Donald Trump, Rick Perry and Ted Cruz.	2022-05-12T05:02:56+00:00	timesrecordnews.com	https://www.timesrecordnews.com/story/news/2022/05/11/senator-buckingham-makes-campaign-stop-wichita-falls/9736954002/

The "Joy Is Our Journey" movement will kick-off with an exclusive, invite-only event during ESSENCE Festival of Culture and will continue with a month-long Dream Tour throughout Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas from August 20-September 18, 2022. ATLANTA, June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Southern Black Girls and Women's Consortium (SWBGC / The Consortium) has announced a summer of fun and funding fueled by a series of special events that will provide resources and safe spaces for Black girls and women to dream. Themed "Joy Is Our Journey," movements will kick-off with an exclusive, invite-only tea and brunch affair during the ESSENCE Festival of Culture in New Orleans on Sunday, July 3. Following the event will be an exciting, month-long Dream Tour that will travel throughout Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas from August 20-September 18, 2022. Featuring experiential activities and educational moments, the interactive tour will provide a safe space for Black girls and women to create, release and simply be their authentic selves. "We are building a movement, changing narratives and shifting philanthropic support for Black girls and women in the south," declares LaTosha Brown, visionary founder of the SBGWC and Black Voters Matter. "'Joy Is Our Journey' is not just an awareness effort to amplify who we are and what we do. It is a mission to raise $100 million to financially empower Black girls and women-focused organizations that seek to provide greater resources and opportunities in education, entrepreneurship, cultural exposure and more. Plus, we get to spread a little #BlackGirlJoy along the way!" Fed up with reports confirming that Black women and girls receive less than one percent of the $4.8 billion in philanthropic investments in the south, a collective of activists, community leaders, funders and changemakers joined forces to form the Southern Black Girls and Women's Consortium. Established in 2017, The Consortium has become a disruptor in grantmaking and a catalyst to provide greater resources toward underfunded organizations that intentionally support Black girls and women. Powered by four dynamic Black women-led organizations - TruthSpeaks Innovation Foundation, BlackBelt Community Foundation, Fund for Southern Communities and the Appalachian Community Fund - The Consortium developed a 10-year initiative that seeks to raise $100 million to financially empower the goals of Black girls and women, and shift the way philanthropy is done in the south. "Black girls and women are still fighting for the rights, resources and recognition they deserve," says Felecia Lucky, president of the Black Belt Community Foundation in Selma, AL. "Through our work, we are able to fill this vital funding gap and improve the quality of life for generations of Black girls and women." To date, The Consortium has already awarded over $2.5 million to 71 organizations and special projects from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. These awards include over $373,000 for social justice projects and more than $120,000 for economic opportunity projects. They also include more than $940,000 in grants to support educational efforts and over $650,000 to organizations or projects geared toward safe, nurturing, preventive and curative healing experiences by trained health professionals (e.g. physical, mental, emotional and spiritual). All awards were made possible through The Consortium's four established funds: - Black Girls Dream Fund - Created to support the dreams of Black girls and women by awarding organizations that center them in their programming and initiatives. - Black Girls Defense Fund - Created to provide family and legal support for Black girls and women in need. - Innovation Fund - Created to provide startup funding for small businesses led by Black girls and women. - Collaborative Partnership Philanthropy Fund - Created to provide resources to support collaboration between like-minded organizations. "We have done tremendous work that ensures our sisters are provided opportunities to engage in activities that improve and uplift their communities in the spirit of justice and equity, and support their self-determination," declares Margo Miller, executive director of the Appalachian Community Fund in Knoxville, TN. "By investing in them and providing resources they have long been denied, we will enable Black girls and women to bring more of their magic into the world and fundamentally change the way the world views them." Alice Jenkins, executive director of the Fund for Southern Communities in Decatur, GA, adds, "We cannot ignore the injustices that Black women and girls face everyday. "In the South, Black girls and women experience social, political, and economic injustices at higher rates than their white counterparts, yet they continue to be left out of philanthropic investments. The needs are there, but the investments are not. We are committed to changing this dynamic." Positioned within the epicenter of "Black Girl Magic," the 2022 ESSENCE Festival of Culture, the "Joy Is Our Journey" Tea & Brunch intends to bring awareness to the philanthropic efforts and opportunities of The Consortium and establish deeper connections with influencers and notable voices who can help promote and amplify the mission. The "Joy Is Our Journey" Dream Tour, will caravan to multiple destinations throughout southern states including Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas. The tour will feature two different activation experiences: Dream Village stops, which will host interactive programming with multiple activities for Black girls and women of all ages for fun, learning and healing; and Joy Stops, which will be short, pop-up experiences that are focused more on community engagement, featuring music, giveaways and more! The tour will begin on Saturday, August 20, and will culminate with the 2022 Black Girls Dream Conference, which will take place in Birmingham, AL, Friday, September 16 - Sunday, September 18. For more details on "Joy Is Our Journey" events, or for more information on how to support the movement through partnership, sponsorship and/or attendance, contact 678-310-8631 or info@southernblackgirls.org.

The Southern Black Girls & Women's Consortium (SBGWC / The Consortium) is coordinated entirely by a community of Black women in philanthropy, activism and girls' work, who hold deep roots in movement-building throughout the southeast. The partnership recognizes their critical role and the importance of centering the lived experiences and leadership of those most impacted by deep-seated injustices. SBGWC consists of four anchor institutions including the Appalachian Community Fund, the Black Belt Community Fund, the Fund for Southern Communities and TruthSpeaks Innovation Foundation.

The Albuquerque Police Department is looking for a 20-year-old murder suspect who they say cut off his GPS ankle monitor over the weekend. Yonnis Abreu is charged with murder in the fatal shooting of Dylan Spiess at the American Inn and Suites on Central, near Louisiana, in March 2021. Detectives say surveillance footage shows a man with distinctive tattoos and dyed blond hair — whom they identified as Abreu — running from the scene. “He was arrested in July 2021, and had been in jail pending trial,” said Rebecca Atkins, an APD spokeswoman. “However, he was released from jail in June 2022 after a judge agreed to reconsider his detention. He was released on several conditions, including a GPS ankle monitor and a strict curfew.” She said APD was notified on Sunday that Abreu had cut off his ankle monitor and detectives have been unsuccessful in locating him. According to court documents, on July 30 Abreu’s GPS unit sent out a “failed to enter inclusion zone” alert around 9:30 p.m. Less than an hour later a tracker strap tamper alert was sent out, which is “usually indicative of a GPS unit being cut off,” according to the request for a bench warrant. Maxwell Pines, Abreu’s defense attorney, said he can’t speak to why pre-trial detention officials cannot contact his client right now but said he’s trying to get back in touch with him “to make sure he can stay in good standing with the court and make sure he is doing everything he has to under conditions of release.” He said the evidence against Abreu, who speaks limited English, in the case is rather weak. Pines had filed a motion in April alleging that Abreu was illegally detained on June 30, 2021 and officers had insufficient justification to hold him under the Fourth Amendment. According to the motion, he had been detained for more than five hours before detectives got an arrest warrant. Pines said Abreu had attended a virtual hearing on that matter in his office. That hearing was continued. Abreu spent almost a year in jail — much of it in lockdown due to understaffing at the facility. “He spent more than 5% of his life in MDC pretrial,” Pines said. “I’m not a doctor, I’m not a psychologist, but I know that has an affect on people.”	2022-08-02T01:27:19+00:00	abqjournal.com	https://www.abqjournal.com/2521159/apd-looking-for-murder-suspect-accused-of-cutting-of-gps-monitor.html

Officials cordoned off a portion of the coast near Cannon Beach to allow a cougar perched on Haystack Rock a safe escape route on Sunday. At least one photographer at the coast captured the animal’s image around 7 a.m. The Cannon Beach Rural Fire Protection District then sent people on water scooters to locate the animal. They confirmed they saw the animal around 9:30 a.m., but a spokesperson for the fire district wrote on Facebook around noon that what they saw was likely a shadow. Around 1 p.m., a spokesperson for the Cannon Beach Police Department wrote on Facebook that officers were still at the beach to make sure the cougar got away safely and that no people were injured. “We ask for your help and patience as we work through this unique situation,” the person wrote. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife says Oregon is home to 6,000 cougars, also known as mountain lions, but sightings are not common. Cougars are lone hunters who prey mostly on deer. Nehalem Bay State Park closed a campground trail Thursday after cougar sightings there.	2023-07-17T12:25:24+00:00	mlive.com	https://www.mlive.com/news/2023/07/cougar-climbs-oregons-landmark-haystack-rock-closing-beach.html
AROOSTOOK COUNTY, Maine — Six bison are still loose in Maine after escaping from a farm in Fort Fairfield on Friday, May 12. The beasts escaped from Lone Wolf Farm, and their location was unknown as of Thursday, Fort Fairfield Police Chief Matthew Cummings said in an update. At least eight other bison made it to the neighboring town of Caribou earlier this week, where they were put down by the farm's owner, Craig Smith, police said. Smith shot the animals with a rifle, according to officials. "Police were not involved in the dispatching of the animals," police said. Caribou police said the bison swam across the Aroostook River and back during the pursuit. Officials' biggest concern was that the animals would make it to Route 1, which connects Caribou and Presque Isle. This is not the first time bison have escaped from the same farm. Three got loose in February for more than 24 hours before being rounded up by law enforcement officials and the owner. In March 2022, 11 bison escaped from the farm, one of which was fatally struck by a truck. The driver who hit the bison was uninjured, but the truck was totaled, according to police. Police have not said whether they anticipate any charges being issued in connection with the current situation. The National Park Service's guidance for Yellowstone National Park, where there is a significant bison population, says to stay at least 25 yards away from the animals. Fort Fairfield police have instructed members of the public not to approach them. Here are some facts about bison from the National Park Service: - A bison can live 12-20 years in the wild - An adult bull can weigh 2,000-2,2000 pounds and cows can weigh 1,000 pounds - A typical adult bison is 6-6.5 feet tall and 10-12.5 feet long - Bison can run at speeds of 40 miles per hour - Bison can jump as high as 6 feet	2023-05-18T21:06:29+00:00	newscentermaine.com	https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/local/aroostook-county/bison-maine-aroostook-county-fort-fairfield-caribou-location/97-fb196e26-5998-4647-9700-0798291e490f
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Ex-Las Vegas Raiders player Henry Ruggs told a judge Tuesday he will admit that he drove drunk at speeds up to 156 mph, causing a fiery crash that killed a woman. The plea deal is expected to send the 24-year-old first-round NFL draft pick to state prison for three to 10 years. Ruggs waived a long-delayed preliminary hearing with the agreement to admit that he drove under the influence of alcohol causing death, a felony, his lawyers said. A six-month sentence for a guilty plea to misdemeanor manslaughter will be folded in with the total. Ruggs spoke only to acknowledge for Justice of the Peace Harmony Letizia that he understands the terms of the agreement. Prosecutor Eric Bauman told the judge the Clark County District Attorney's office endorsed the deal. "This is the first step toward a fair resolution to this matter and we look forward to closure for all parties involved,” Ruggs' attorneys, David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld, said in a statement handed to reporters. They and their client and several people with them declined additional comment in the court hallway. Ruggs' lawyers lost a bid to prevent prosecutors from presenting evidence that Ruggs had a blood-alcohol level of 0.16% — twice the legal limit in Nevada — after the predawn rear-end wreck that killed 23-year-old Tina Tintor and her pet dog, Max. The speed limit where the crash happened was 45 mph (72 kph), a fraction of what police said Ruggs was driving. Investigators found air bag computer records showing his 220 Chevrolet Corvette decelerated from 156 mph (251 kph) to 127 mph (204 kph) seconds before slamming into Tintor's Toyota Rav 4. An attorney who has represented Tintor's family members at earlier court appearances did not respond to email and telephone messages to him and his media representative about Ruggs’ plea. Ruggs' sentencing is scheduled for May 10 in state court in Las Vegas. Other charges will be dismissed, including felony reckless driving, driving under the influence causing substantial injury to Ruggs' girlfriend, Je’nai Kilgo-Washington, and a misdemeanor gun charge. Police said they found a loaded handgun in Ruggs' demolished Corvette after the crash. Ruggs was released by the Raiders shortly after the Nov. 2, 2021, crash. He could have faced more than 50 years in prison if convicted of all the charges at trial, District Attorney Steve Wolfson had said. Wolfson declined to comment Tuesday, ahead of Ruggs' scheduled plea. The district attorney said following the crash that investigators learned that Ruggs spent several hours at a sports entertainment golfing venue in Las Vegas the evening before the predawn crash and may have been at a friend's home for several more hours before he and Kilgo-Washington headed home. Ruggs posted $150,000 bail to be freed from jail after leaving the hospital and has remained on house arrest for 18 months with strict conditions including alcohol checks. Bauman said outside court that Ruggs would remain on house arrest pending sentencing, and his minimum three-year sentence cannot be reduced by converting that to time already served. Kilgo-Washington and Ruggs have a daughter together, and Kilgo-Washington was not cooperative with prosecutors as a victim in the substantial injury charge. Her attorney, Peter Christiansen, lost a bid to block prosecutors from getting Kilgo-Washington’s medical records on privacy grounds. Prosecutors said Ruggs suffered a leg injury and Kilgo-Washington underwent surgery for an arm injury. Ruggs had been emerging as a star wide receiver for the Raiders before the crash, and records showed he owned a $1.1 million home not far from the crash scene. He had signed a four-year rookie contract reported to be worth more than $16 million.

IMATRA, Finland (AP) — The construction of barbed-wired fence along Finland’s long border with Russia – primarily meant to curb illegal migration – has broken ground near the southeastern town of Imatra less than two weeks after the Nordic country joined NATO as the 31st member of the military alliance. The Finnish Border Guard on Friday showcased the building of the initial three kilometer (1.8 mile) stretch of the fence to be erected in Pelkola near a crossing point off Imatra, a quiet lakeside town of some 25,000 people. Finland’s 1,340 kilometer (832 mile) border with Russia is the longest of any European Union member. Construction of the border fence is an initiative by the border guard that was approved by Prime Minister Sanna Marin’s government amid wide political support last year. The main purpose of the three-meter (10-foot) high steel fence with a barbed-wire extension on top is to prevent illegal immigration from Russia and give reaction time to authorities, Finnish border officials say. In 2015-2016, Moscow attempted to influence Finland by organizing large numbers of asylum-seekers to northern Finnish crossing points in the Arctic Lapland region. Russian authorities were seen deliberately ushering thousands of asylum-seekers – mostly from Iraq, Afghanistan and other Middle East nations – to those border crossing points. The move was seen as a show of muscle by Moscow. The issue was settled when Finnish President Sauli Niinistö held talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The flow of migrants stopped shortly thereafter. This is a scenario that Finland – a nation 5.5 million people that officially became a NATO member on April 4 – wants to prevent from repeating itself. Border officials are quick to acknowledge, however, that it was Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24 last year – the main reason for Finland’s quick push to join NATO after decades of military nonalignment – that prompted construction of the border fence. “Border barrier fence was no kind of political topic before the war (in Ukraine). And actually, it wasn’t a kind of plan of the Finnish border guard,” Brig. Gen. Jari Tolppanen, head of the technical division at the Finnish Border Guard, told The Associated Press. “All changed after the attack (of Russia against Ukraine).” The pilot section of the fence is scheduled to be completed by this summer, while the barrier will eventually be extended to a maximum of 200 kilometers (124 miles). It will cover areas – in bits and pieces of separate length – mainly in southeastern Finland near the main border crossing points with Russia but it will also have sections up in the Arctic north in Lapland. “In this new situation, we must have much more credible and much more independent border control,” Tolppanen said. “We need to strengthen our resources. And the fence is necessary in order to manage, for example, large-scale illegal immigration.” Imatra is located a mere seven kilometers (4.4 miles) off the Russian industrial town of Svetogorsk in the Karelia region and is a few hours’ drive away from Russia’s second city of St. Petersburg. The town has a long history in dealing with Russians – tourists, day-trippers and permanent residents alike. “Here in Imatra, we’re not so afraid about Russians because the border has always been there and it has never been open like between European countries,” said Antero Lattu, vice chairman of Imatra City Council. He stressed that locals aren’t afraid of Russians “but we’re happy because of that fence.” Erkki Jouhki, who works as a town planner, agreed but also stressed Finland’s military capabilities. NATO membership gives Finland “a strong back but we have a very strong army. it’s very well (armed) … it’s a very modern army here because of Russia.” The border fence project is estimated to cost a total of 380 million euros ($422 million) and is scheduled to be completed by 2026. Finland’s long eastern frontier runs mainly through thick forests. In some places the Finnish-Russian border is marked only by wooden posts with low fences meant to stop stray cattle. ___ Jari Tanner in Helsinki contributed to this article. ___ Follow AP’s coverage of the war in Ukraine: https://apnews.com/hub/russia-ukraine	2023-04-16T11:24:52+00:00	qcnews.com	https://www.qcnews.com/news/ap-top-headlines/nato-member-finland-breaks-ground-on-russia-border-fence/

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Tuition will increase by an average of more than 2.5% across the West Virginia University system for the coming fiscal year under a new $1.2 billion budget. The WVU Board of Governors approved the budget, which includes a 2.62% or $120 increase per semester for resident students. Nonresident students will pay 2.88% more, or $372, per semester. Housing rates will go up 3% except at WVU Tech in Beckley. Dining fees will rise by 4.5%, partly due to inflation, the university said in a news release after the board's approval Friday. Employees will receive average increases of 4% to 5%, with the starting minimum hourly compensation raised to $13, said Rob Alsop, vice president for strategic initiatives. State funding accounts for $4.67 million of the $16.2 million needed for the salary increases, WVU said. The university expects slight increases in grants and contracts but a decline in enrollment related to COVID-19 and won't receive federal or state funds related to COVID-19 in the fiscal year, the school said.	2022-06-27T07:33:17+00:00	sfgate.com	https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Tuition-costs-going-up-for-West-Virginia-17267479.php
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR said a review of data and team communications showed that Stewart-Haas Racing manipulated the results of the playoff elimination race at Charlotte, an infraction that drew an additional $200,000 in fines on Tuesday. “Nothing contradicted that that was done deliberately,” NASCAR senior vice president of competition Scott Miller said of Cole Custer slowing on the backstretch of the final lap to help teammate Chase Briscoe gain the positions needed to advance into the next round of the playoffs. The new penalties brings SHR’s monetary fines to $300,000 over the last week; Kevin Harvick, one of the most outspoken drivers about safety concerns with NASCAR’s new Next Gen car, was penalized along with his crew chief when his Ford failed a post-Talladega inspection. On Sunday, Custer appeared to deliberately hold up a line of traffic on Charlotte’s road course as teammate Briscoe stormed past in a desperate effort to move into the third round of the playoffs. Briscoe finished ninth, good enough to bump reigning NASCAR champion Kyle Larson from the playoffs as the field was trimmed from 12 drivers to eight. Briscoe earned the eighth and final spot in the next round of the playoffs by two points over Larson. NASCAR said after Sunday’s race it was reviewing Custer’s contact on the final lap. The penalties levied were a $100,000 fine for Custer and loss of 50 driver points, as well as 50 owner points for SHR. Crew chief Mike Shiplett was also fined $100,000 and suspended indefinitely. Miller said NASCAR heard Shiplett tell Custer over the radio “‘I think you’ve got a flat. Checkup, checkup’ when he couldn’t see the car to tell if it had a flat. “Blatantly pulling over and changing the finishing order on the last lap is what makes it over the top,” Miller continued, “especially with the instructions from the pit box.” SHR was already appealing Harvick’s penalties and said Tuesday it would appeal the latest penalties against Custer’s team. Miller said the penalty against Custer’s team would have been even stiffer if NASCAR didn’t believe Briscoe had earned his spot in the round of eight. NASCAR considered suspending Custer, who is the son of SHR’s co-president Joe Custer, but Miller said it didn’t because “super flagrant things that eliminated other competitors” are what warrants suspension. NASCAR also did not consider removing Briscoe from the playoff field, which is down to eight drivers as NASCAR heads to Las Vegas Motor Speedway. NASCAR found no data or communication that indicated Briscoe or the No. 14 team was aware Custer was assisting Briscoe’s advancement. NASCAR cut Miller’s availability on the topic at just under 11 minutes, and Miller was not asked if NASCAR considered adding Larson back into the playoff field as a ninth driver. The precedent for all this dates to a 2013 race manipulation scandal by Michael Waltrip Racing in the final regular-season race. Clint Bowyer was instructed over his radio to itch his arm, and Bowyer’s car spun to set in motion a sequence of events in which Ryan Newman did not win the race to earn an automatic playoff berth, and Bowyer teammate Martin Truex Jr. got the final playoff position. NASCAR ultimately removed Truex from the playoff field in favor of Newman, who was closing in on the victory before the bogus spin by Bowyer. But further NASCAR investigations found manipulation by other teams, as well, and Jeff Gordon was ultimately added to what was then a 12-driver playoff field as an unprecedented 13th driver. NASCAR also at the time declared a “100%” rule in which all teams were mandated to fully compete or risk serious fines. Tuesday marked the first time the rule has been enforced. Briscoe heads to Las Vegas ranked eighth in the standings with three races to set the championship four. ___ More AP auto racing: https://apnews.com/hub/auto-racing and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	2022-10-12T17:31:13+00:00	localsyr.com	https://www.localsyr.com/sports/sports-news/ap-nascar-fines-stewart-haas-racing-200k-for-race-manipulation/
- Pivotal Phase 3 studies consist of BOSTON-1 and BOSTON-2, both designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of L-CsA-i in patients with BOS following either single or double lung transplantation, respectively - Approximately fifty percent of lung transplant patients develop BOS within five years post-transplant1 - If approved, L-CsA-i would be the first and only treatment indicated for BOS MILAN and BOSTON, May 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Zambon, a multinational pharmaceutical company focused on innovating cure and care to improve people's health and the quality of patients' lives, announced today that the Company has completed enrollment in its two pivotal Phase 3 studies. The trials are designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Liposomal Cyclosporine A for Inhalation (L-CsA-i) for the treatment of BOS in adults following single lung (BOSTON-1) or double lung (BOSTON-2) transplantation. BOS is a rapidly progressive inflammatory rare disease that irreversibly destroys the airways of the lungs and usually leads to respiratory failure and death within two to four years after diagnosis. Unfortunately, approximately 50 percent of lung transplant patients develop BOS within five years post-transplant, the highest rejection rate of any transplanted organ. Currently, there is no approved treatment indicated for BOS.1 "The completion of enrollment in our Phase 3 BOSTON-1 and -2 studies represents a significant milestone for Zambon and the patient community we aim to serve," said Paola Castellani, chief medical officer and R&D head at Zambon. "On behalf of the Company, we would like to thank the many participants in our Phase 3 clinical program, as well as our study sites and investigators for their commitment. We look forward to reporting top-line results from the program during 2024. L-CsA-i is a novel, inhaled therapy administered via the optimized investigational eFlow® Technology nebulizer system (PARI Pharma GmbH). The BOSTON-1 and -2 studies enrolled a total of 231 patients in Europe, Israel and the United States and had participation from 42 lung transplant centers globally. "At Zambon, we are committed to advancing new therapeutic options that have the potential to make lives better for people affected by severe respiratory diseases such as BOS. The completion of enrollment in our pivotal trials brings us one step closer to our goal of bringing a much-needed therapy to the lung transplant recipients worldwide with BOS," said Ilaria Villa, chief executive officer and interim chief operations officer of Zambon. Zambon is also advancing one additional clinical study, BOSTON-3 – an extension study that is open to eligible participants who complete the BOSTON-1 and-2 studies. L-CsA-i has received Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency for the treatment of BOS, reflecting the high unmet need of the disease. The Fast Track designation was also granted by FDA. If approved, L-CsA-i would be the first treatment indicated for BOS. About Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS) Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS), also known as obliterative bronchiolitis (OB), is caused by T-cell mediated inflammation that leads to blockage of bronchioles, the small and medium airways in the lungs, resulting in respiratory failure and death.1 BOS most commonly affects people who have received lung transplant or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (alloHSCT), although it is also associated with autoimmune disease and exposure to environmental contaminants.2,3,4 Approximately 50 percent of lung transplant patients develop BOS within five years post-transplant, the highest rejection rate of any transplanted organ.5 About Liposomal Cyclosporine A for Inhalation (L-CsA-i) Liposomal Cyclosporine A for Inhalation (L-CsA-i) is a novel liposomal formulation of cyclosporine A developed for inhaled delivery to the lungs. Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs), like cyclosporine A, are highly potent immunosuppressive drugs and a cornerstone of lung transplant medicine. L-CsA-i is administered via a drug-specific Investigational eFlow® Technology nebulizer system (PARI Pharma GmbH). The investigational drug-device combination is designed to deliver L-CsA-i to the site of disease in the lung. About Zambon S.p.A. Zambon Spa is a modern multinational pharmaceutical company established in 1906 in Vicenza, whose history is founded on the values of an Italian family committed to innovating cure & care to improve patients' lives. It employs 2,474 people worldwide, is present in 23 countries in Europe, America and Asia, and has production facilities in Italy, Switzerland, China and Brazil. Thanks to its innovative, quality products commercialized in 87 countries, Zambon Spa reported a revenue of 765 million euros in 2022. Alongside the three historical therapeutic areas - diseases of the respiratory system, urinary tract infections and pain treatment – Zambon is focused on developing treatments for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's or rare diseases such as cystic fibrosis, BOS, to which is linked the major 2019 acquisition of Breath Therapeutics, and NCFB. As part of Zambon's ambitious new path, an important role was also played by the agreement with Aquestive Therapeutics to market and distribute in Europe an innovative oral formulation of riluzole for patients suffering from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

Four of the country's top spine organizations unite to advance patient education RESTON, Va., Dec. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the National Spine Health Foundation (NSHF) announced the launch of a first of its kind Coalition for Spine Health. The coalition will initially bring together four of America's leading spinal organizations to advance awareness and patient education. The Northern American Spine Association (NASS), The Setting Scoliosis Straight Foundation and the Harms Study Group , and the Cervical Spine Research Society all join the National Spine Health Foundation in the launch of the Coalition. "We're thrilled that the Coalition for Spine Health will unify the top minds in spinal health to deliver best in class patient education," said Dr. Rita Roy, CEO of the National Spine Health Foundation. "By providing innovative learning opportunities for patients, the Coalition can improve the well-being of millions of Americans." The Coalition's member organizations will work to share research findings, advance groundbreaking patient treatment methods, highlight leaders in the spine health field, create innovative learning opportunities for patients nationwide, and advocate for access to quality care. "I've seen first-hand how patient education can transform outcomes, especially when we consider the complex procedures and long recovery times that spine patients often face," said Dr. Larry Lenke, internationally recognized spine surgeon and Surgeon-in-Chief at The Och Spine Hospital, Columbia New York-Presbyterian. "It's wonderful to see top spine organizations unite with a common goal of helping patients."

LOOK UP: April’s Pink Moon will be visible tonight Published: Apr. 5, 2023 at 3:59 PM CDT\|Updated: 9 minutes ago (CNN) – If you look up at the sky Wednesday night, you might get to see a pink moon. Actually, the moon won’t be pink, but the full moon will still be a sight to behold. The moon is named “Pink” as a nod to the flowers and trees that bloom during spring. Venus and Mars will also be visible. The two planets will be out and relatively close to the moon in the night sky. Later this month, a total solar eclipse will be visible to those in Australia, Southeast Asia, and Antarctica on April 20. During a short time, the moon will move between the sun and the earth, causing the sun to look like a fiery circle in the sky. Copyright 2023 CNN Newsource.

KVITFJELL, Norway (AP) — Mikaela Shiffrin ‘s quest to tie Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark’s record of 86 career World Cup victories now moves to his home country. Shiffrin’s next race is a giant slalom in Are on Friday, as the American skier seeks one victory to match Stenmark ‘s total on the all-time overall winners list – between men and women. The Swede competed in the 1970s and 80s. Are was also the venue of Shiffrin’s first career win, in December 2012. Shiffrin rounded off a three-race weekend in Norway Sunday by finishing in seventh position at a super-G affected by changing weather conditions. The American was fourth in a super-G Friday and fifth in a downhill the following day to lock up her fifth World Cup overall title. On Sunday, Shiffrin was among the early starters when low clouds caused flat light and snowfall slowed most racers before later starters benefited from improved conditions when skies cleared. Wearing bib 31, Nina Ortlieb led an Austrian sweep of the podium ahead of Stephanie Venier, who started 29th, and Franziska Gritsch, who started 26th. “It’s slow with the snow on the flat part,” Shiffrin said. “But I also felt very strong down there pushing the limits, so I’m super happy with my run.” Shiffrin broke a tie on the all-time women’s list with former American teammate Lindsey Vonn in January. Vonn had 82 wins when she retired in 2019. Shiffrin has been stuck on 85 World Cup wins for four events now, and the American didn’t got a real chance Sunday to end the wait. “The conditions are changing so much, it’s not one of those days where I can really compare myself to what’s going on with the results,” Shiffrin said. “But my skiing was good, I was aggressive, so I’m actually really happy with that. In this group of women going around me, to be kind of this fast, that was a really, really good sign.” Sofia Goggia was the first racer from the top 20-ranked skiers in fourth position, trailing Ortlieb by 0.69 seconds. The Italian, who locked up the downhill season title Saturday, looked set for victory when sitting in the leader seat after all other pre-race favorites were down. “I’m happy with my ski performance but the race has changed too much,” Goggia said. “We came down with criminal conditions and now there’s the sun and everything’s really fast.” Ortlieb acknowledged the conditions gave her an advantage. “Unbelievable. I knew at the start the conditions were getting better and better,” the Austrian said. “I was lucky. I’m sure that it was not fair for everyone, but I got the opportunity and I think I skied well.” Right after finishing, Ortlieb looked around in apparent disbelief, then shook her head a few times. “A little crazy to see the green light in the finish. I was a little bit confused, but it’s amazing,” said Ortlieb, who was only 29th in Friday’s super-G on the same course. “I got a big improvement from two days ago, when I was skiing without confidence,” the Austrian said after her second career win. Ortlieb’s win marked only the second victory for the Austrian women’s team this season after Cornelia Huetter triumphed in Friday’s super-G. It was the first Austrian sweep in a women’s super-G since Alexandra Meissnitzer, Andrea Fischbacher and Michaela Dorfmeister finished on the podium in Lake Louise, Alberta in December 2005. Ortlieb became the seventh different winner in seven World Cup super-G races this season. Elena Curtoni tops the discipline standings before the season-ending race in Andorra on March 16, but four skiers are within 44 points of the Italian’s lead. Shiffrin won one super-G this campaign but is out of contention for the season title, trailing Curtoni by 110 points in sixth. The race was interrupted after Alice Robinson crashed and slid into the safety nets on a tricky passage near the end of her run but the New Zealand racer appeared unhurt. ___ More AP skiing: https://apnews.com/hub/skiing and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	2023-03-05T16:51:57+00:00	kxnet.com	https://www.kxnet.com/sports/shiffrin-misses-out-in-super-g-still-chasing-86th-win/
January 6 committee member says panel will ask former Secret Service agent to testify again By Paul LeBlanc and Christian Sierra, CNN Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a member of the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, told CNN on Sunday the panel will ask former Secret Service Assistant Director Tony Ornato to testify again. “We’re in a position in the very near future to call the witnesses from the Secret Service back in for a few additional questions,” the California Democrat told CNN’s Pamela Brown on “CNN Newsroom,” explaining that the panel had wanted to “get through all the documentary evidence … over a million documents,” which they’ve now done. The House select committee has made clear it believes Ornato was a central figure who could provide valuable information about former President Donald Trump’s movements and intentions leading up to and on January 6. Not only did Ornato once run Trump’s detail, but he also made the unprecedented move of joining White House staff as the deputy chief of staff in December 2019 on a temporary assignment and eventually returned to the Secret Service to run its training program. To this point, Ornato has met with the panel on two occasions — in January and March — as part of its investigation. It’s not clear whether Ornato will end up testifying related to the claims from Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. Hutchinson specifically testified that Ornato had told her about Trump lashing out in anger and lunging at a member of his protective detail as he demanded to be taken to the Capitol on January 6. Lofgren said Sunday she could not expand further on Rep. Pete Aguilar’s comments during Thursday’s public hearing that the committee is examining a potential attempt to obstruct testimony related to that incident. “It’s not just about the incident, but the testimony — and I will say, we have, broadly, questions about the advice given to some witnesses, and whether all the witnesses were completely candid with the committee, and that’s something that we’re interested in, and I think the Department of Justice will be very interested in,” Lofgren said. Asked Sunday who else from the Secret Service would be called back to testify, Lofgren also mentioned the head of Trump’s Secret Service detail, Robert Engel, “and a few others,” but did not specify whom. “We want to make sure that we’re getting the straight story. Some of the testimony received doesn’t seem to align with some of the documents, so we have a need to understand that better from them,” she said. This story has been updated with additional information Sunday. The-CNN-Wire ™ & © 2022 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company.

Northwestern fires coach Pat Fitzgerald amid hazing scandal EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) — Northwestern fired coach Pat Fitzgerald on Monday amid a hazing scandal that called into question his leadership of the program and damaged the university’s reputation after it mishandled its response to the allegations. Fitzgerald’s dismissal completed a rapid fall from grace for the former Northwestern linebacker. The 48-year-old Fitzgerald had been firmly entrenched at his alma mater, an annual fixture on any list of college coaches with the most job security. “The head coach is ultimately responsible for the culture of his team,” Northwestern President Michael Schill wrote in an open letter to the university community. “The hazing we investigated was widespread and clearly not a secret within the program, providing Coach Fitzgerald with the opportunity to learn what was happening. Either way, the culture in Northwestern Football, while incredible in some ways, was broken in others.” Fitzgerald went 110-101 in 17 seasons as Northwestern’s head coach. He led the Wildcats to Big Ten West championships in 2018 and 2020, plus five bowl victories. But they went 4-20 over his last two seasons. Schill wrote in his letter that athletic director Derrick Gragg will announce “the leadership for this upcoming football season” in the next couple days. The opener is Sept. 3 at Rutgers. “I recognize that my decision will not be universally applauded, and there will be those in our community who may vehemently disagree with it,” Schill wrote. “Ultimately, I am charged with acting in the best interests of the entire University, and this decision is reflective of that. The damage done to our institution is significant, as is the harm to some of our students.” Fitzgerald began a two-week suspension on Friday after the school said an investigation by a law firm did not find “sufficient” evidence that the coaching staff knew about ongoing hazing — though there were “significant opportunities” to find out about it. The Daily Northwestern then published a story on Saturday detailing allegations from a former player who described specific instances of hazing and sexual abuse. The report also indicated that Fitzgerald “may have known that hazing took place.” That led Schill to write an open letter to the university community in which he acknowledged focusing “too much on what the report concluded (Fitzgerald) didn’t know and not enough on what he should have known.” Schill went on to say that he planned to speak with university leadership, members of the board of trustees and leaders of the faculty senate to determine his next steps. Schill was the president of the University of Oregon before taking over Northwestern in September. He also teaches at Northwestern’s law school. ___ AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/college-football and https://twitter.com/ap_top25 Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.

Don’t get stuck in the cold: do maintenance on your car battery BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) - Dakota Towing’s 24/7 dispatcher, Sheree Dewitz, has been answering calls for help non-stop, especially since temperatures plummeted below zero. “It’s non-stop day and night, so you know we’re getting calls all throughout the day, and then in the night it’s waking us up and we have to go out and help people then as well,” said Dewitz. Dakota Towing is there to help tow your stubborn, non-starting vehicle, but they will also try to jump the vehicle before strapping up the tow hitch. “With some of our bigger trucks, sometimes we’re able to jump start it, which a normal vehicle won’t be able to do that, and then if we can’t jump start it, we can always tow it after that,” said Dewitz. Preventative maintenance and preparing for the winter can save you from cold car troubles. “Preventative maintenance is a lot better than going to that one day where you want to go to work, you turn it over and it just goes click, click, click and you think ‘Oh my battery’s dead,’” said Jason Davies, service technician at Interstate Battery. Davies says that although batteries often do lose power in the winter months especially, that doesn’t mean they always need to be replaced. Often, he finds that batteries just need to be recharged, as they are not getting enough time to recharge in your vehicle. “One of the worst things is not driving enough, so if you have a ten-minute commute to work and back and the vehicle’s parked outside, that ten-minute drive in the morning and afternoon is nowhere near enough time to keep that battery fully charged,” said Davies. He says batteries in North Dakota on average will last for 4 to 5 years with good maintenance and care. Davies says getting your battery tested before cold weather is smart in preventing a non-starting vehicle. Interstate battery offers free battery testing, so you always know where your batteries power level stands and can safely drive in sub-zero conditions. Copyright 2022 KFYR.

A 34-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a Maine shooting that left four dead Tuesday morning, according to the Maine Police Department. Joseph Eaton, of Bowdoin, Maine, was arrested and charged with the killing of four people found fatally shot Tuesday morning in a Bowdoin home on Augusta Road. Eaton is currently being held at Two Bridges Regional Jail in Wiscasset, Maine, and is expected to appear in court later this week. At 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, minutes after police found the four victims in the Augusta Road home, authorities responded to the report of several people shot while in cars traveling on Interstate 295 South near exit 15 in Yarmouth. First responders rushed three victims to a hospital; one person was reported to be in critical condition. Police said the two shooting incidents were connected. However, authorities have not yet announced any charges in the I-295 shooting. Officials are still investigating the shooting. Anyone with information on either incident is urged to call Maine State Police at 207-624-7076.	2023-04-19T00:58:05+00:00	masslive.com	https://www.masslive.com/news/2023/04/joseph-eaton-arrested-in-bowdoin-maine-fatal-shooting-of-4-people.html
PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — A large snake that made its home inside a traffic signal breaker box in Virginia was removed after it flipped a switch that controls the light. According to the Prince William County Police Department, the breaker box powered a traffic signal at the intersection of Prince William Parkway and Sudley Manor Drive. When the snake flipped the breaker switch, the signal was shut off. Because of molted skin and waste found inside, it is believed that the snake had been living in the box for some time, police said. The snake did not damage anything inside the box. Since snakes gain body heat from their environment, it’s not unusual to find them hiding in places to keep warm. A crash investigator and animal control officer removed the snake unharmed and released it in the area. Authorities did not specify the type of snake. According to the Wildlife Center of Virginia, the state has 30 native snake species, most of which are harmless. Three of them — the Northern Copperheads, Timber Rattlesnakes and Cottonmouths — are venomous. The center also states that it is illegal to kill a snake in Virginia. The crash investigation team reminded drivers to treat a non-functioning traffic signal as a four-way stop and to be careful at the intersection. “When traffic signals are not working because of a power outage or other problem (snake perhaps) and not displaying any lights, treat the traffic light as a stop sign and use extreme caution before proceeding,” said Crash Investigator Lewton, identified in a Facebook post by last name only.	2023-05-02T19:18:51+00:00	texomashomepage.com	https://www.texomashomepage.com/news/national-news/snake-makes-home-in-traffic-signal-breaker-box-causes-intersection-power-outage/
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Wednesday fired a warning shot to companies that halted donations to GOP 2020 election deniers after the Capitol riot, saying their decision is “not going to be forgotten.” “This is something that they should all know,” Greene told former Trump White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon, while appearing on his show on Wednesday. “That’s not going to be forgotten by a whole bunch of my Republican colleagues.” Major corporations halted their political donations in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, with many promising not to support the 147 lawmakers who voted against certifying the results of the 2020 election. However, those companies have largely resumed PAC spending since, donating millions to candidates who continue to deny the legitimacy of President Biden’s election. Greene on Wednesday promised investigations into these companies as Republicans appear poised to take control of the House after November’s midterm elections. Fortune 500 companies appear to be anticipating such a move from a Republican-controlled House and have begun retaining major law firms with GOP relationships, according to Axios.	2022-10-28T16:52:26+00:00	kxnet.com	https://www.kxnet.com/hill-politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-warns-companies-that-stopped-donations-to-2020-election-deniers-you-wont-be-forgotten/
Expert: Don’t just pay the minimum on your credit card bill Average card holder has $5,500 in debt InvestigateTV - Credit card debt reached a record high of $986 billion at the end of 2022, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. While making the minimum payment can be tempting, particularly if you’re on a tight budget, Bankrate.com’s Ted Rossman said that will only lengthen the amount of time it will take to get out of debt. “The typical formula, there is just 1% of the balance plus interest, and that’s not nearly enough,” Rossman explained. “You have the average credit card debt, which is about $5,500, according to TransUnion. If you only make minimum payments at the average interest rate, you’ll be in debt for about 17 years and you’ll pay about $7500 in interest.” Rossman had several tips to tackle significant credit card debt: - Pay as much as you can above the minimum amount due - Consider transferring debt from high interest rate cards to a lower or zero rate promotional card - Research non-profit credit counseling agencies like Money Management International, which can help you create a debt management plan - For those with good credit, low-rate personal loans can offer rates as low as 7% over the life of the loan - Most importantly: do something. Any action to attack your debt is a move in the right direction. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has guides on managing debt, consolidating credit card debt, and finding a credit counselor. Copyright 2023 Gray Media Group, Inc.

A few weeks ago, right after I finished producing this Life Kit episode on how to take a break from our screens, I passed a mom and her daughter on their way to the park. The mom stopped suddenly. Patting her pockets frantically, she turned to her daughter and said, "Sweetie, we have to go back to the car. I forgot my phone." Her daughter, who was already making a beeline toward the swings, turned to her mom and said, "Why?" My ears immediately perked up: Here was a perfect example for our episode. Even someone who had grown up around smartphones and iPads didn't always see the point in having them around. The mom explained that she wanted to keep an eye on the time, and while her daughter couldn't understand why that was more important than being next in line for the swings, she eventually followed her back to their car. We wanted to hear more stories about people untangling themselves from technology. So we asked our listeners to share some of their favorite tips and tricks on how to ditch the device and stay in the moment. Here are some of our favorite responses: Getting rid of apps and distractions I removed the apps for Facebook and Instagram from my phone and enabled two-step authentication on my Facebook account. Now I have to access those sites via a web browser, and it's a nuisance. This helps me because before it was too easy to get to the content. Now I think twice if I want to go through the pain of verifying my credentials. — Rob Wittman I unfollowed nearly all non-family Facebook friends. Now I still see family photos and keep in touch with long-distance friends, but spend a small fraction of the time I used to on Facebook. — Mary Biddle When I make a plan for [true] human face-time, my phone isn't invited to join. It stays on silent in my purse. We eat, we walk, we go to the movies — we don't need a third wheel. — Talora Michal I noticed a pattern of friends and family posting things online, and then us not having much to talk about when we would visit each other in person. You'd already seen all their vacation photos, where they were, who they were with, what they ate, right? So I went cold turkey and got rid of all social media platforms entirely. I experienced some serious FOMO at first, but now I don't even notice the difference. It's an opportunity to reach out more personally to family and friends to see what's new in their life, and for them to reach out to me more, too. — Taylor Seale "Hiding" your phone For years I used to wake up in the middle of the night to look at or answer a text or email. I realized my quality of sleep and quality of life were being affected, so now I keep the phone in a completely different room when I go to bed. — Stuart Sutton I'm starting to keep a list of random things that come to mind throughout the day that make me want to run to the computer to find the answers. So rather than running to the computer throughout the day, I save it for one session. — Charlene Gaubis If I want to be untethered, I leave my phone and a note that says where I'm going by the front door. That way, my family is aware I don't have my phone and has an idea where to look if needed. — Linda As I teach my teenage daughters how to drive, I test them on landmarks and street names in our neighborhood. Rather than dangerously reaching for a phone to search for directions, hopefully, they will instinctively know how to get around phone-free. If they take a wrong turn on the way to the mall, it may add 10 minutes to their drive, but they will learn not to take that route the next time. — Greta Bailey Finding non-internet activities I keep envelopes addressed to my favorite friends ready to go. That way I can send some letters to brighten mailboxes for no reason whatsoever. — Stafford Wood I keep a small stack of 3-by-5-inch notecards on my desk with a pen, pencil and a little wooden carrying tray. Any thought, no matter how wild or rational, is written down. Any emotion, whether good or bad, is written down. It helps keep me focused and engaged with the writing medium, and if I need to draw something or sketch, it's right there! This helps me keep tabs on my feelings without being fully distracted from whatever I was doing. — Nathan Venturini Downgrading technology My husband and I are trying to decrease phone and internet use. One strategy we're using is to wear watches. (He wears his grandfather's and I wear my mother's). We were always tapping our phones to check the time, and then it was insanely common to find ourselves on an unintended trip down a rabbit hole. — Charlene Gaubis Build activities you enjoy with analog technology. I have hundreds of vinyl records I still play in the background. I love cooking every day while listening to NPR's All Things Considered on my old analog radio. Jokingly, I tell my wife, "I need to start cooking with Michel Martin or Maria Hinojosa." — Sergio E. Serrano Find a service plan that only offers talk and text. When I'm out running errands or spending time with friends, I have no other option than to stay engaged with my surroundings. Don't get me wrong, I got the plan without internet service because it's WAY lower cost (another side benefit), but I really do feel a modicum of relief when I'm out somewhere that I'm not able to connect to Wi-Fi because it allows me to focus on what I'm doing and giving the people I'm with my full attention. — Taylor Parnell See the comic by Malaka Gharib that inspired this round-up.

GRAPHIC: Ohio officer put on paid leave amid probe into police dog attack on surrendering truck driver CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio officer was put on leave while he’s investigated for releasing his police dog on a surrendering truck driver even after state troopers told the officer to hold the dog back. Officer Ryan Speakman was placed on paid administrative leave, Circleville Police Chief G. Shawn Baer said in a statement Tuesday. The move is standard procedure in cases where use of force is investigated, Baer said, adding that there would be no further comments until the town’s civilian Use of Force Review Board completes its investigation. WARNING: The following video contains graphic content. Speakman deployed his police dog following a lengthy pursuit on July 4 that involved troopers with the Ohio State Highway Patrol and ended in Circleville. Both the pursuit and the ensuing attack were captured on a police body camera. The chase began when troopers tried to stop a commercial semitruck that was missing a mudflap and failed to halt for an inspection, according to a Ohio State Highway Patrol incident report. The nearby Circleville Police Department was called to assist, including a K-9 police dog, authorities said. The 23-year-old truck driver, Jadarrius Rose of Memphis, Tennessee, initially refused to get out of the truck and later defied instructions to get on the ground, according to the Highway Patrol incident report and the body cam video. Rose eventually got on his knees and raised his hands in the air. The body camera video shows Speakman holding back the K-9, and a trooper can be heard off-camera repeatedly yelling, “Do not release the dog with his hands up!” However, Speakman deploys the dog and it can be seen in the video attacking Rose. The trooper shouts “Get the dog off of him!” Rose appears to be in pain and yells “Get it off! Please! Please!” before the attack ends. Rose was treated at a hospital for dog bites. Rose was charged with failure to comply, and has not responded to an email sent Monday seeking comment. Messages were also left with attorney Benjamin Partee, who was identified in media reports as Rose’s lawyer. It’s not clear why he refused to stop for police. Rose is Black, and Speakman is white. Rose told The Columbus Dispatch that he couldn’t talk about why he didn’t stop. But when asked about the video, told the newspaper: “I’m just glad that it was recorded. What you saw is what, pretty much, happened.” Audio recordings of 911 calls show Rose told emergency dispatchers that the officers pursuing him were “trying to kill” him and he didn’t feel safe pulling over. He also said he was confused about why the officers were trying to stop him and why they had their guns drawn after he briefly stopped the truck before driving away. The 911 dispatcher repeatedly told Rose he should stop and comply with police, and said the officers weren’t trying to harm him. Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.

Former NFL GM weighs in on what Cardinals' Monti Ossenfort is going through as draft nears If the Texans draft Will Anderson Jr. with second overall pick, Dominik says Arizona Cardinals would score a hit by taking cornerback Christian Gonzalez. Like the Arizona Cardinals’ Monti Ossenfort, former longtime NFL executive Mark Dominik knows what it’s like to climb up the ranks through a front office, moving from a personal assistant to scout, director of pro scouting to director of pro scouting and, eventually, general manager. Dominik, though, spent 19 of his 20 seasons in the league with the same franchise, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ossenfort, meanwhile, is in his first season as GM of the Cardinals after having previously served 15 seasons in the New England Patriots front office and the past three seasons as director of player personnel for the Tennessee Titans. In the few short months that he’s been in Arizona, Ossenfort has had to deal with multiple player departures through free agency, a formal grievance claim against team owner Michael Bidwill by a former Cardinals’ executive, a reported trade request made by his best player on defense, Budda Baker, and swirling trade speculation concerning his best wide receiver, DeAndre Hopkins. “Monti’s getting indoctrinated, right?” Dominik said with a laugh during a conference call this week with NFL reporters. “Let alone people leaving the building and having to deal with all that kind of stuff to throw you off, and then being a new GM in a new city in a new organization. One thing that happens to you a lot is … you’re shocked at how little you get to watch tape compared to why you got hired to be there in the first place. I have no doubt that Monti’s probably running into that same issue at times. “But ... you’ve got to do what you think is best for your football team. As much as you have respect for Budda Baker and Hopkins, you’ve got to hold the line and say, ‘This is what my philosophy is going to be as a GM. In terms of ripping up deals and doing new deals, it’s, ‘When do I do this?’ In terms of when a player starts to say, ‘I don’t want to be here anymore,’ how are you going to handle it? “So, we’re going to see what Monti is and how he hands those things to kind of set his table as far as what kind of GM does he want to be.” Dominik, who will serve as an NFL draft analyst for SiriusXM NFL Radio during next week’s draft in Kansas City, said Ossenfort is fortunate enough to have an assistant GM he trusts and can run ideas by in Dave Sears. He adds that should help some of the daily dilemmas slow down and allow Ossenfort to watch more tape and review information out of the 30 prospect visits the Cardinals had with potential draft candidates. “I think you’ve just got to be willing to just listen to people, but you don’t have to react quickly,” Dominik said. “I think that’s the one thing I would say for Monti to do is just, ‘Slow down, don’t feel like you’ve got to put out every fire today and really just look at what’s the most important thing you’ve got to take care of today.’ “If it’s DeAndre Hopkins and a restructure or DeAndre Hopkins and a trade, how do you want to handle that and what’s the best way to do that? And make sure you utilize the people around you who are there for a reason, so you can take a little bit of that weight off your plate.” Dominik knows Ossenfort personally and said he has shared some of his thoughts with Arizona’s first-year GM about many things, including how to get the best information he can from his co-workers and staff. “I think the most important thing you can do and that’s some of the stuff I talked to Monti Ossenfort … is listening and speaking less but listening more,” Dominik said, adding, “Keep your ears open just to get a sense of what everyone says” and then having private one-on-ones with the coach to get on the same page with which direction the franchise is heading. As for Ossenfort’s upcoming first draft as a GM and what the Cardinals might do with the No. 3 overall pick in the first round, Dominik said Arizona shouldn’t panic if the Houston Texans, with the second overall pick, select former Alabama edge rusher Will Anderson Jr. That’s the player most often linked to the Cardinals, but word has been circulating in recent days and weeks that Houston may pass on a quarterback at No. 2 and draft the best defensive prospect available. “I think they would take a pass rusher,” Dominik said of the Cardinals, “but let’s say things don’t go the way they’re hoping for, it’s hard for me not to look at the defensive line no matter what. How high do they have the other guys? How do they feel not just on (former Texas Tech edge rusher) Tyree (Wilson), but how do they feel about (former Georgia defensive tackle) Jalen Carter and was he really on their board? “Those are unique guys. I know (former Cardinals’ defensive lineman) Robert Nkemdiche didn’t make it because of what they were talking about in terms of not having a love for the game, but Jalen, I think, loves the game. You’ve just got to decide whether you trust the player or not.” Carter, once viewed as the top-rated prospect overall in this year’s draft class, has had some off-the-field issues, including his alleged involvement in a racing and speeding incident which resulted in the deaths of a college teammate and a Georgia staff member. “It’s can you trust him, and will he make the right choices?” Dominik said of Carter, adding, “I still think he goes Top 10, and I don’t think he’s going to fall out of that.” For subscribers:McManaman's 2023 NFL Mock Draft 2.0: 21 pick changes, but Cardinals still nab Anderson If Anderson goes to Houston at No. 2, the Cardinals might opt to trade down to acquire more draft picks. If they don’t get the right deal, they could stay at No. 3 and take Wilson or maybe Carter, but Dominik suggests they do something different and go with one of his favorite players in the draft. “I think the other player nobody is not talking about but is talking about is Christian Gonzalez,” he said, referring to the cornerback from Oregon, who transferred from Colorado in 2022. “We saw last year those two corners (Derek Stingley Jr. and Sauce Gardner) came off real early (with the third and fourth picks overall) and no one was really talking about that. Christian Gonzalez, to me, is like a light out there that you want to grab. “I think there’s any moment you could see Christian Gonzalez come off the board because I think he’s that elite as a corner and he brings all the attributes you want. He’s kind of my dark horse sleeper for Arizona if things don’t go right because you’ve got to have those guys at this level, and you can’t have enough of them. As much as you might like their crew, I think would be an easy plug-and-play Week 1 because they really need some depth there.” During his tenure as GM of the Buccaneers from 2009-13, Dominik drafted 36 players and 20 of them signed extensions with the club, which ranked Top 5 among GMs during that time frame (56 percent). If Ossenfort intends to trade out of the No. 3 spot for additional draft capital, Dominik offered some general advice on that plan for any first-time GM. “If you’re thinking about making a move, you really should know what your limit is the night before because the adrenaline pumps,” Dominik said. “When you’re in the draft room and you go like, ‘OK, I’m going to move from 9 back up to 6 and I’m going to give up a one, a three and a four.’ And now it’s draft day and I’m giving up a one, a two and a three. It’s like, ‘What happened last night when you’re calling me? Why did something change? And it didn’t. So, you’ve got to go through those thoughts.” More:Cardinals' Budda Baker trade request signals plenty of trouble on horizon	2023-04-19T21:34:45+00:00	azcentral.com	https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/nfl/cardinals/2023/04/19/arizona-cardinals-monti-ossenfort-2023-nfl-draft/70131191007/
Mystery Nevada fossil site could be ancient maternity ward By MADDIE BURAKOFF AP Science Writer NEW YORK (AP) — New research has found clues into a mysterious fossil site in Nevada, which may have been an ancient maternity ward for giant marine reptiles. The site is home to bones from dozens of ichthyosaurs — fishlike predators that could grow up to the size of a school bus. Scientists previously thought these creatures all died together in some dramatic event. But a study published Monday argues that the fossils added up over many years, as the creatures came back to the same place over generations to give birth. The bones are believed to be from the mothers and offspring that died there over the years.	2022-12-19T17:58:38+00:00	localnews8.com	https://localnews8.com/news/ap-national/2022/12/19/mystery-nevada-fossil-site-could-be-ancient-maternity-ward/

FRISCO, Texas — Officials in Texas have released the official cause of death of former NFL running back Marion Barber III. On Monday, a report by the Collin County Medical Examiner's Office said he died of heatstroke, stating his death was an accident, USA Today and NBC News reported. Last month, the Associated Press reported that Frisco Police made a welfare check at an apartment “believed to be leased” to Barber and discovered his body. When they arrived, the Fort Worth-Star Telegram reported that police found the thermostat inside the apartment was set to 91 degrees. In the autopsy report, the coroner wrote that the former NFL player was “known to exercise in sauna-like conditions," The Washington Post reported. Barber was 38, the news outlets reported. The AP reported that the former NFL player spent six seasons with the Cowboys before ending his career in 2011 with the Chicago Bears.	2022-07-12T21:00:32+00:00	ksby.com	https://www.ksby.com/sports/officials-former-cowboys-player-marion-barber-iii-died-from-heatstroke

The technologies behind the 3D printed structure, called LINA, could support a near-future human foothold on the moon NEW YORK, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, space architecture and technology firm AI SpaceFactory announced its designs for LINA, the first lunar outpost developed in collaboration with NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) engineers and planetary scientists. The design and testing of LINA is part of NASA's 2020 Announcement of Collaboration Opportunity (ACO) project Relevant Environment Additive Construction Technology (REACT), through which AI SpaceFactory and NASA KSC are advancing the prize winning technologies and materials that SpaceFactory created for NASA's 3D Printed Habitat Challenge. Through the ACO, AI SpaceFactory's original polymer, made with a Martian regolith simulant, was modified to use lunar regolith, or lunar soil, and both its material composite and mechanical extruder will be tested in a NASA vacuum chamber that simulates the environmental conditions on the Moon. The results will inform a sustainable 3D printing system capable of constructing large structures on the Moon's surface – with which AI SpaceFactory plans to ultimately use to print LINA. "Our Mars habitat prototype MARSHA proved that 3D printing with a polymer composite was a strong solution for habitation off-world," said AI SpaceFactory CEO David Malott. "Developing LINA and printing in an environment that is void of atmospheric pressures or weather systems advances that technology through a new context, with new and more precise variables." LINA is designed to be constructed by autonomous robots on the south pole of the Moon near the Shackleton crater, where near continuous sunlight on the crater's peaks could allow for solar power, while perpetual shadow on the crater's interior would allow harvesting of water ice. Its 3D printed Romanesque arches, which can withstand high compressive loads with minimal material, would be topped with 2.7 meters of lunar regolith to provide the maximum possible protection from radiation, micrometeorites, lunar seismic activity (moonquakes) and extreme thermal swings. The strength of AI SpaceFactory's polymer composite will support LINA's geometry for a sustainable and long-lasting structure that could support long-term habitation and further travel to more planets. AI SpaceFactory is one of 17 companies selected by NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate to participate in the 2020 ACO – a cohort that includes Blue Origin and SpaceX. The project's new lunar vacuum chamber, which will reside at NASA KSC Granular Mechanics and Regolith Operations (GMRO) Laboratory, a.k.a., Swamp Works, has been built and fitted with AI SpaceFactory's 3D printing extruder and mounted on a gantry designed and manufactured by NASA. The collaboration's first vacuum prints are expected this year. About AI SpaceFactory AI SpaceFactory develops advanced construction technologies for space exploration – autonomous robotics and sustainable materials – which will transform how we build and live on Earth. The company was founded in 2017 by David Malott to create construction technologies for long-term missions to the Moon and Mars, with the goal of revolutionizing the construction industry on Earth.

Wedding drama erupts as bride's anger at guest who wore white turns 'blue' A newly married woman who said she enjoyed her "dream wedding" – except for "one small thing" – has taken matters into her own hands to address the "small" and annoying situation that bugged her. Now, as a result, there's reportedly a family blowup in the works. Wrote the woman, 30, who did not share her location, "Honestly, it was my dream wedding. Everything went off without a hitch," she said. WEDDINGS CAN BE EXTRA SPECIAL IF COUPLES DO THIS WITH THEIR VOWS, EXPERT ADVISES "Except for one small thing," added "DesignedBasic" on Reddit. "My niece's dress." She said her 16-year-old niece's dress "was a white, lacy, knee-length dress. She even wore elbow-length gloves." Said the aggrieved new bride, "Honestly, it looked just like a wedding dress." She went on in her post, "I didn’t say anything to her or her parents (my brother and sister-in-law) in the moment – and I tried my best to ignore it." However, said the annoyed bride, "when I got the first drafts back from our photographer, I couldn’t stand when I saw her in her white dress standing next to me." She went on, "My husband saw how upset I was, and suggested that we pay extra to get my niece’s dress photoshopped to a light blue. We thought it through, and since we had some budget left, we went for it." The bride continued, "Last week, we got the final photos back and they looked great! I could hardly even tell that my niece was originally wearing white, and she still looked really nice." Yet when the bride said she "posted some of the photos on social media… my SIL messaged me and was angry that I photoshopped [her daughter] without checking with her first," she added, meaning the sister-in-law. The new bride went on, "She accused me of thinking my niece was ugly and of body-shaming her." Wrote the bride, "To be clear, I did not have her body photoshopped – only the color of her dress and gloves." Said the bride, "I don’t think I’m in the wrong" – it was her wedding, after all – but this situation has been stressing me out." She asked others on the subreddit known as AITA ("Am I the a--hole") whether she was in the wrong for what she did. For context, she noted that "the picture I posted was a large group shot that my niece is in. I wasn’t trying to showcase the photoshop at all." Fox News Digital reached out a psychologist and an etiquette expert for insights. Said Dr. Jayme Albin, a clinical psychologist in New York City, "Getting married is a very sensitive and stressful time in a person’s life, so people commonly look for perfection in the details of the wedding itself. This especially applies to photos — and anything that takes away from the bride as a center of attention is a really big no-no." She added, "The young girl messed up — she should not have worn a white lace dress with gloves to a wedding, especially if she was a close family member and thought she would be in the family photos." Added Dr. Albin, "The mother of the daughter should apologize and be happy that the bride was able to alter the photos to her liking so that it’s not an ongoing issue." She noted that "at the same time, it can be understood that the mother of the daughter was hypersensitive originally, when she saw the [social media] post, and was concerned and protective of her daughter — which was cleared up right away." Plenty of commenters on Reddit took the bride's side of things, saying the niece's actions were highly inappropriate. Overall, some 14,000 people reacted to the woman's post, with nearly 2,500 writing comments about it. Wrote one person to the bride, "My spidey sense says the white dress was a deliberate affront, and when you finessed around it they got more combative and made up a grievance." Said another commenter, "They were wrong to have her wearing white to a wedding to begin with. Instead of getting mad and making a scene, you and your husband used logic (and technology) to fix the problem in the photos. Great thinking!" That comment alone earned more than 5,000 "upvotes." Wrote another individual to the bride, "Proper response to SIL [should be]: ‘Why would you think it was acceptable to allow your daughter to wear something resembling a wedding dress to my wedding?’" Said still another person in regard to the photoshopping, "As long as your niece’s body wasn’t changed, just the dress color, I don’t see the issue." Another commenter took the time to share wedding etiquette tips. FLORIDA-BASED ETIQUETTE EXPERT REVEALS 40 GREAT TIPS FOR A BETTER LIFE "First and foremost, don't wear a white dress (unless the couple requests all-white attire as a stylistic choice)," wrote this person. "Further, avoid matching the colors worn by the bridal party, wearing anything that is too revealing, sexy or flashy, or opting for clothes that are overly casual, like jeans and sneakers, even at a casual-attire wedding." Added this same commenter, "This is basic standard wedding etiquette… People today are taught that pretty much anything goes, with everything. But etiquette rules exist to prevent hurt feelings such as yours. They may be seen as old-fashioned by young people today, but they have a reason and a place." CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER The "wearing white" controversy as it relates to weddings attire is not new. In a separate wedding drama shared on social media recently about people who have worn white clothing to a wedding, nearly all commenters agreed that wearing white or a color close to white is a big no-no for wedding guests.

Reports: Soccer star Messi to join MLS club Inter Miami (Gray News) - Lionel Messi, one of the most famous athletes in the world, is set to join American soccer’s Inter Miami, according to multiple reports Wednesday. BBC and The Guardian reported the Argentinian star would be joining the Major League Soccer club, making him perhaps the top international footballer to ever sign with the league. One of the first major stars to come to MLS, England’s David Beckham in 2007, is part-owner of Inter Miami. Guardian reported Messi, 35, would make a public announcement of the decision later in the day. Considered one of the game’s all-time greats, he is exiting the French Ligue 1 champion team, Paris St-Germain. He reportedly turned down a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal in favor of the U.S. He is a seven-time Ballon d’Or award winner for the world’s best player and two-time FIFA Best Men’s Player, including winning in 2023. Messi also led Argentina to a World Cup victory in 2022. Copyright 2023 Gray Media Group, Inc. The Associated Press contributed to the report.

TORONTO — The first two games between the Yankees and Blue Jays featured 20 runs and what felt like just as many extra-curricular incidents. But both teams mostly stayed quiet at the plate and in the dugout Wednesday while Gerrit Cole and Chris Bassitt dueled on the mound. The two sides had chances to score toward the end of regulation, but no one crossed the plate until the 10th frame, when Danny Jansen crushed a three-run, walk-off homer against Wandy Peralta to left field. Just like that, an offensively starved game became a 3-0 win for Toronto. Earlier, Bassitt stifled the Yankees for seven scoreless innings. The right-hander only let up three hits and one walk while striking out seven over 97 pitches. The Yankees, meanwhile, wasted a gritty performance from Cole, who faced trouble at the beginning and end of his start, though he came away unscathed in both scenarios. Toronto’s first two batters of the game reached on errors from shortstop Oswaldo Cabrera and Cole, but the Yankees’ ace didn’t let the Blue Jays capitalize in the opening frame. Cole then allowed the first two batters to reach in the seventh, but Clay Holmes entered and snuffed out the Jays’ hope for a rally. All in all, Cole totaled six strikeouts, six innings and 104 pitches. The Blue Jays recorded seven hits, two walks and seven hard-hit balls off him, but they didn’t manage any runs. The Yankees will turn to Nestor Cortes in Thursday’s series finale. They’re hoping to see improvement from the lefty, as Cortes has allowed 15 earned runs and eight walks over his last three starts, a span of 14 innings. Cortes, who owns a 5.53 ERA overall, most recently allowed six earned runs to the Rays at Yankee Stadium on May 13. The pitcher’s command faded in the fifth inning of that game, a theme for Cortes this season. He’ll look to end that trend while Jose Berrios pitches for the Blue Jays. The righty has a 4.70 ERA this season, but he limited opponents to two earned runs in each of his last two starts. The Yankees will take a break from divisional play on Friday when they begin a three-game series in Cincinnati. The Yankees plan on having Luis Severino start the final game of that series. It will be his season debut after he suffered a lat injury at the end of spring training.
