Fresh charges tie Trump even more closely to coverup effort. That could deepen his legal woes
Jul 28, 2023, 9:18 PM

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s a stunning new allegation in an already serious case: Former President Donald Trump sought to delete Mar-a-Lago surveillance footage to obstruct the Justice Department’s investigation into his handling of classified documents.
The latest criminal charges unsealed Thursday deepen Trump’s legal jeopardy, alleging a more central role for the former president than previously known in a cover-up that prosecutors say was meant to prevent them from recovering top-secret documents he took with him after he left the White House. Coming as Trump braces for possible additional indictments related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election, the new allegations strengthen special counsel Jack Smith’s already powerful case against Trump while undercutting potential defenses floated by the former president, experts say.
“Before these new charges, you could maybe try some sort of defense that ‘this was all a mistake, it was my staff’ or confusion about what documents he actually had,” said former federal prosecutor Randall Eliason, a George Washington University law professor.
“But especially now, when you’re trying to destroy video footage,” he added, “that’s kind of the final nail in the coffin. I don’t see much in the way of a defense, not a real defense. All he can do is claim he’s being persecuted and hope for a holdout juror or something.”
Trump resorted to that familiar playbook on Friday, writing in a post on his Truth Social platform that “this is textbook Third World intimidation by rabid, lawless prosecutors.” He insisted during an interview with radio host John Fredericks that he did nothing wrong and accused prosecutors of trying to intimidate his staff into making up lies about him.
Later Friday, Trump posted on Truth Social that Mar-a-Lago security tapes were voluntarily handed over to prosecutors. Trump said he was told they were not “deleted in any way, shape or form.”
The new Florida charges came as a surprise given that Trump and his legal team have been focused on the prospect of an additional indictment in Washington — possibly within days — related to his efforts to cling to power after he lost to President Joe Biden. Trump received a letter this month informing him that he’s a target in that probe, and his lawyers met Thursday with special counsel Jack Smith’s office.
Hours after that meeting, Smith revealed the new classified documents case charges on top of a 38-count indictment issued last month against Trump and his valet, Walt Nauta. The updated indictment includes a detailed chronology of phone conversations and other interactions between Trump, Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager, Carlos De Oliveira, in the days after the Justice Department last June drafted a subpoena for security camera footage at Mar-a-Lago.
Video from the home would ultimately become vital to the government’s case because, prosecutors said, it shows Nauta moving boxes in and out of a storage room — an act alleged to have been done at Trump’s direction and in an effort to hide records not only only from investigators but Trump’s own lawyers.
The day after a draft subpoena was sent to the Trump Organization, the indictment says, Trump called De Oliveira and spoke with him for about 24 minutes. Though the details of that conversation are not included in the indictment, De Oliveira is described by prosecutors as asking a Mar-a-Lago information technology staffer several days later how long the server retained footage for and is quoted as telling the employee that “the boss” wanted it deleted.
Lawyers for Nauta, who has pleaded not guilty, and De Oliveira declined to comment on the allegations. De Oliveira is expected to make his first court appearance in Miami on Monday.
To the extent that evidence of Trump’s involvement in trying to delete video is circumstantial rather than direct, it might present a challenge for prosecutors, said David Aaron, a former Justice Department national security prosecutor who has worked on cases involving the mishandling of classified documents.
But if they can tie the effort to Trump, he added, “it’s devastating in its own right, because it doesn’t matter at that point what he thought he had the right to do, or whatever other defense he’s going to have about the classified documents. That’s in and of itself very bad.”
It could also help prosecutors establish that Trump knew what he was doing was wrong because “you only delete video of what you’ve done if you think it’s going to get you in trouble,” Aaron said. And Trump’s own accusations against others, like his claims against Hillary Clinton, his opponent in the 2016 presidential race, could boomerang against him.
Trump has claimed that Clinton deleted emails from her private server for the purpose of obstructing a criminal investigation into her own handling of classified information — something the FBI and Justice Department never alleged — but now stands himself accused of scheming to delete evidence he feared would be incriminating.
“He has specifically criticized other public figures for deleting data when he says they thought they were going to be in trouble,” Aaron said. “So if you needed to prove his consciousness of guilt, it’s not just an obvious thing that you would ask the jury to rely on common sense for — he’s actually made statements about what it means when someone does this.”
Trump and Nauta are set for trial next May, though it’s not clear if that date will hold.
Smith’s team also added a new count of willful retention of national defense information related to a classified document about a Pentagon plan of attack on a foreign country prosecutors say Trump showed off during a July 2021 meeting at his Bedminster, New Jersey resort.
That charge comes after Trump repeatedly claimed he didn’t have any secret documents when he spoke, only magazine and newspaper clippings, even though an audio recording captured him saying “this is secret information.” The document was returned to the government in January 2022, months before the subpoena for classified records.
It’s not clear why prosecutors moved now to indict another one of Trump’s underlings, though bringing charges against De Oliveira that could carry significant prison time adds serious pressure on him, potentially increasing the odds that he could decide to cut a plea deal and cooperate.
“But, you know, Trump seems to inspire a lot of loyalty, at least in some people,” Eliason said. “Maybe they are holding out for the idea that he is reelected and he can pardon them.”

Water is refreshing in the heat, right? In parts of Florida this past week, not so much
Jul 28, 2023, 9:46 PM
(AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell)
In the sweltering summer heat, nobody tries to cool off by jumping into a hot tub. In parts of Florida, however, that’s what the ocean has felt like.
Earlier this week, sea surface temperatures reached as high as 101.2 degrees Fahrenheit (38.4 degrees Celsius) around the state’s southern tip in Manatee Bay, according to the National Weather Service — although scientists said the context for Monday’s reading is complicated.
“It was like there was no difference between humidity of the air and going into the water,” said Chelsea Ward of Fort Myers, Florida.
Triple-digit ocean temperatures are stunning even in Florida, where residents are used to the heat and where many retirees find refuge from cold, northern winters. Several other nearby spots reached the mid-90s (about 35 Celsius). A storm finally came through on Wednesday, helping water temperatures drop back down in to the more temperate 80s (about 29 Celsius).
Humans naturally look to water for a chance to refresh. Every summer, millions grab their swimsuits for a day on the beach and a chance to cool off in the water — a break from everyday work and worry. Pools offer the same relief and a place for friends to gather. But when water temperatures get too high, some of the appeal is lost.
Ward, 47, doesn’t keep her beach bag in her car anymore even though she lives minutes away from the beach in Fort Myers. Lately, the water is just too hot. On Sunday, when her friend asked if she wanted to go to the beach, the two decided against it after discovering the water temperature was around 90 degrees (32 degrees Celsius).
When it’s hot, the body cools down by sweating, which evaporates and releases heat. Dipping into the ocean is typically so refreshing because heat efficiently transfers from your body into the water. But as water temperatures climb, that effect diminishes and you lose less heat less quickly, according to Michael Mullins, a Washington University toxicologist and emergency medicine physician at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis.
A hot tub — or a stretch of ocean water hotter than body temperature — reverses the transfer of heat into your body. That’s not a pleasant experience on a sizzling, humid, Florida day.
“It would feel,” Mullins said, “like you are swimming in soup.”
People already tend not to swim that much in the Florida waters that were so extremely hot earlier this week. The water can get muddy and there are alligators and crocodiles in the area, too.
But high temperatures anywhere can make swimming less pleasant. Through Friday, Phoenix endured highs above 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43 degrees Celsius) every day this month. Pools are warm. About 150 miles (240 kilometers) to the northwest in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, Stefanee Lynn Thompson, 50, wanted to keep guests cool for a pool party she hosted Sunday. The heat had raised the pool’s temperature to 96 degrees (36 Celsius).
Her friend recommended she go buy ice blocks. She ran to the grocery store, picked up 40 of them and dumped them in the pool. She set up fans, too. All that hard work dropped the pool’s temperature a grand total of 4 degrees (7 degrees Celsius).
“When it’s 120 out, anything helps,” Thompson said.
Recently, ocean temperatures off the western coast of Florida have been a few degrees above normal, sitting around 88 to 90 degrees (31-32 degrees Celsius). It’s not just humans that suffer when the oceans warm. Sea corals are bleaching. They can be hurt when water temperatures rise above the upper 80s (low 30 degrees Celsius).
July has been so hot that scientists announced a global heat record even before the month ended. Climate change is creating a hotter world, warming oceans and making some storms more destructive. Sea surface temperatures are somewhat above average around Florida, but they are far higher in parts of the North Atlantic near Newfoundland where they are as much as 9 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) hotter than usual.
The extremely high sea surface temperatures recorded earlier this week off Florida’s southern tip were caused by lots of sun, little wind and no storms.
“I’ve never seen temperatures 100 degrees in Florida Bay in the 21 years I’ve been in the Keys,” said Andy Devanas, science officer at the National Weather Service in Key West, Florida.
And there are some questions about how representative Monday’s 101.2-degree reading in Manatee Bay were. Water there is shallow and thus heats up quickly. If there’s lots of sediment, that can raise temperatures, too, according to David Roth, a forecaster with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center.
By contrast, stop by the YMCA pools on the North Shore of Massachusetts near Boston and you’ll descend into water that’s around 78 to 80 degrees (26 to 27 degrees Celsius). The ocean nearby is cooler, too. Sea surface temperatures off Cape Cod, for example, barely touched the mid-70s (about 24 degrees Celsius) this week.
When Maria Argueta, 38, has time off from her job at an open-air decorative plant nursery in Homestead, Florida, she’ll go with her family to swim.
“This year, the heat is stronger,” she said.
The hot ocean water doesn’t bother her, but sometimes she takes her 2-year-old son and other members of the family to the Venetian Pool, a public facility in Coral Gables fed by water from an aquifer that’s always in the 70s. The very cool water, she said, is refreshing.
Florida’s humid weather makes it harder for sweat to evaporate and cool the body down. People in south Florida know the ocean doesn’t tend to offer real relief from that suffocating heat.
“You aren’t getting much cooling at all,” Roth said. “Nobody goes into the water in South Florida in the summer really except to swim, because it is comfortable to swim, but it is not refreshing.”

Ex-New Mexico police informant headed to prison after admitting 5 bank robberies to feed addiction
Jul 28, 2023, 10:01 PM
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A New Mexico man who confessed to five bank robberies in Albuquerque last year — including one bank he robbed twice as part of what he said were desperate attempts to feed his fentanyl addiction — has been sentenced to more than two years in prison.
Jason Smeltzer, 41, made off with less than $4,000 total from the the five robberies, which took place within 6 miles (10 kilometers) of each other over five weeks in early 2022, court records show.
Each time, the unarmed Albuquerque man who once served as a confidential informant for the city’s police handed notes to tellers claiming he was a vigilante helping law enforcement and asking that they “please” place bills in an envelope, according to documents filed in U.S. District Court in Albuquerque.
Assistant federal public defender Dennis Candelaria had argued Smeltzer be sentenced to only 18 months in prison partly because he had no adult criminal record, a lengthy work history and was actively involved in many community activities. He said Smeltzer had been suffering from a drug addiction for years trying to ease pain from an injured knee and that he was committed to rehabilitation.
In addition to being a confidential police informant, Candelaria said Smeltzer had participated in the FBI program for cyber security. He didn’t provide any additional details.
“Fentanyl took total control of his life,” Candelaria wrote in a pre-sentencing document.
“In many ways, Mr. Smeltzer is the typical bank robber. He is robbing a bank to buy drugs for his addiction. However, unlike the typical bank robber, we can look past his actions and see an individual that never intended to harm anyone,” Candelaria said.
Smeltzer “committed each of these bank robberies by passing a note and requesting the teller to ‘please’ place money in an envelope,” he said.
From Jan. 20-Feb. 23, 2022, Smeltzer stole a total of $3,856 from the four banks on the city’s northeast side, including just $136 from one. The most was $1,180 the second time he robbed the same credit union on San Mateo Boulevard in mid-February.
Acting on a call to a national tip line, FBI agents and police arrested him leaving his Albuquerque home in a car with his mother hours after the final robbery on Feb. 23.
An FBI agent said in an affidavit that Smeltzer confessed to all of the crimes and told authorities he was using the money to buy drugs for his fentanyl addiction.
“He also advised Agents he wrote the demands notes and he always asked for money politely,” the agent wrote in the affidavit last year.
In one case, the note he handed a teller claimed “I am that vigilante that helps law enforcement take down drug dealers.” Another said he was a vigilante “helping the police catch drug dealers and stop overdoses,” according to court documents.
The latter also said, “Thank you, truly I am grateful. I will repay.”
Smeltzer pleaded guilty to five counts of bank robbery on March 22. On July 18, U.S District Judge Judith C. Herrera sentenced him to 27 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release. | https://mynorthwest.com/3914665/ex-new-mexico-police-informant-headed-to-prison-after-admitting-5-bank-robberies-to-feed-addiction/ | 2023-07-29T08:21:26 | 1 | https://mynorthwest.com/3914665/ex-new-mexico-police-informant-headed-to-prison-after-admitting-5-bank-robberies-to-feed-addiction/ |
After an attack on Salman Rushdie, the Chautauqua Institution says its mission won’t change
Jul 28, 2023, 10:02 PM
(AP Photo/Carolyn Thompson)
CHAUTAUQUA, N.Y. (AP) — For a single, unthinkable moment last summer, the Chautauqua Institution was a hostile place for the freedom of expression that has been its hallmark for 150 years: As Salman Rushdie was about to speak, an audience member leapt onto the stage and stabbed the celebrated author more than a dozen times.
By the next day, Chautauqua Institution President Michael Hill recently recounted, the decision had been made not only to resume programming, but to “double down on what Mr. Rushdie stands for, what our speakers and preachers and artists stand for — which is the free exchange of ideas and the belief that society is stronger when we do that.”
A year later, Rushdie, blinded in one eye by the assault, is recovering from the attack. The Chautauqua Institution is recovering, too.
Programming and revenue for the arts and intellectual retreat in the rural southwest corner of New York was disrupted for two seasons by COVID-19. Then the attack further shattered the return to normal that regular visitors had so craved.
With a new nine-week summer season now under way, well-tended gardens are in bloom and rocking chairs are back out on the porches of Victorian- and cottage-style homes.
Security has been strengthened, though the gated compound remains open to anyone who buys a pass to enter.
“We look at the work that we do under a different lens since” the stabbing, Hill said during an interview in his office, which overlooks Bestor Plaza, a lush expanse of greenery anchoring the 750-acre (303-hectare) grounds. “The attack was an attempt at silencing, which underscores the need for institutions like ours to not stay silent.”
As an institution, Chautauqua defies easy explanation.
“NPR camp for grown-ups” is the description preferred by Erica Higbie, who owns a house on the grounds.
Located on the shore of Chautauqua Lake, the institution is a self-contained community with lecture halls, houses of worship, cafes, shops, a library, post office and bookstore, along with private homes, rentals and the Athenaeum Hotel, which served as former President Bill Clinton’s executive mansion for a week in 1996 as he prepared for his debate with Republican challenger Bob Dole.
Aside from boating and golf, the 4,400-seat, open-air amphitheater is a main draw, with a summer entertainment lineup this year offering concerts by Diana Ross and Bonnie Raitt, ballet and theater productions and performances by the house Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra.
But for Higbie and many others, the primary appeal exists in the institution’s 19th Century beginnings as a summer educational experiment in which daily lectures are curated around weekly explorations of anything from politics to infrastructure and faith to friendship.
“I am a lecture junkie,” Higbie said from her porch as people navigated the grounds on foot, bikes and scooters. The speed limit for the rare vehicle traffic is 12 mph. The retired teacher takes in a daily morning lecture and may hear two more in the afternoon at the amphitheater and the Hall of Philosophy.
Through the decades, Susan B. Anthony advocated for women’s rights at the institution and President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave his 1936 “I Hate War” speech in the amphitheater. Former Vice President Al Gore spoke about the climate crisis and Supreme Court Judges Robert H. Jackson and Ruth Bader Ginsburg are among countless others who have offered insights.
Rushdie’s appearance came during a week last year exploring home as “a place for human thriving.”
Henry Reese, co-founder of the City of Asylum Pittsburgh, was about to interview “The Satanic Verses” author about violence against writers when Rushdie was attacked as the men sat in armchairs on the amphitheater’s sunken stage.
Rushdie, the target of a decades-old fatwa by the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini calling for his death, was stabbed in the neck, stomach, chest, hand and right eye. Reese suffered bruises and a gash to his forehead.
With alleged assailant Hadi Matar awaiting trial in a nearby courthouse, Reese is scheduled to return to the institution on the anniversary of the attack, Aug. 12. His appearance is expected to kick off a week exploring freedom of expression, imagination and the resilience of democracy. Republican strategist Karl Rove and Democratic strategist David Axelrod are among other invited guests.
It would have been out of character for the institution to do anything but pick up where it left off after the assault, regular guest lecturer Eboo Patel said.
“Not a single artist or speaker canceled,” Patel, founder of Interfaith America in Chicago, said by phone.
“Chautauqua recognizes that it has a responsibility to its own community, honestly to American civilization and the human spirit, and it’s back up in 24 to 48 hours. That’s stunning,” he said.
Property owners differed on how far the institution should go to ensure personal safety, said Higbie, the president of the Chautauqua Property Owners Association.
“Everybody was in shock for a long time,“ Higbie said.
Visitors say they notice more security and protocols at events. Amphitheater patrons can bring only clear bags inside, for example, and may be scanned or asked to walk through a weapons detector.
Even so, “I never hesitated for a minute” to return, said Michael Crawford of Washington, D.C., as he chatted with Mary Pat McFarland of Philadelphia. The two sat on one of the red benches placed around the grounds to invite discussion.
A handful of musicians with violins, guitars and a small harp played an impromptu jam session beneath a tree nearby.
Hill said he sees his role as “teeing up” issues for engagement, so shying away from difficult ones would be a disservice at a time when civic discourse is in short supply.
“It’s about bringing divergent viewpoints for people to digest,” Hill said. “For us to have made the decision to stop bringing speakers who may be controversial in any way would have been for us to stop doing our mission.”
“It would have been,” he said, “to literally stop the reason this place was created.” | https://mynorthwest.com/3914667/after-an-attack-on-salman-rushdie-the-chautauqua-institution-says-its-mission-wont-change/ | 2023-07-29T08:21:41 | 0 | https://mynorthwest.com/3914667/after-an-attack-on-salman-rushdie-the-chautauqua-institution-says-its-mission-wont-change/ |
Largest commercial communications satellite ever built will more than double the capacity of the Hughes JUPITER fleet
GERMANTOWN, Md., July 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Hughes Network Systems, an EchoStar (Nasdaq: SATS) company, today announced its JUPITER™ 3 ultra high-density satellite has successfully launched on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from historic Kennedy Space Center Launch Pad 39A in Florida.

The extreme heat wave that blasted the Southwest is abating with late arriving monsoon rains
Jul 28, 2023, 10:04 PM

PHOENIX (AP) — A historic heat wave that turned the U.S. Southwest into a blast furnace throughout July is beginning to abate with the late arrival of monsoon rains.
Forecasters expect that by Monday at the latest, people in metro Phoenix will begin seeing high temperatures under 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43.3 degrees Celsius) for the first time in a month. As of Friday, the high temperature in the desert city had been at or above that mark for 29 consecutive days.
Already this week, the overnight low at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport fell under 90 (32.2 C) for the first time in 16 days, finally allowing people some respite from the stifling heat once the sun goes down.
Temperatures are also expected to ease in Las Vegas, Albuquerque and Death Valley, California.
The downward trend started Wednesday night, when Phoenix saw its first major monsoon storm since the traditional start of the season on June 15. While more than half of the greater Phoenix area saw no rainfall from that storm, some eastern suburbs were pummeled by high winds, swirling dust and localized downfalls of up to an inch (2.5 centimeters) of precipitation.
Storms gradually increasing in strength are expected over the weekend.
Scientists calculate that July will prove to be the hottest globally on record and perhaps the warmest human civilization has seen. The extreme heat is now hitting the eastern part of the U.S, as soaring temperatures moved from the Midwest into the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, where some places are seeing their warmest days so far this year.
The new heat records being set this summer are just some of the extreme weather being seen around the U.S. this month, such as flash floods in Pennsylvania and parts of the Northeast.
And while relief may be on the way for the Southwest, for now it’s still dangerously hot. Phoenix’s high temperature reached 116 (46.7 C) Friday afternoon, which is far above the average temperature of 106 (41.1 C).
“Anyone can be at risk outside in this record heat,” the fire department in Goodyear, a Phoenix suburb, warned residents on social media while offering ideas to stay safe.
For many people such as older adults, those with health issues and those without access to air conditioning, the heat can be dangerous or even deadly.
Maricopa County, the most populous in Arizona and home to Phoenix, reported this week that its public health department had confirmed 25 heat-associated deaths this year as of July 21, with 249 more under investigation.
Results from toxicological tests that can takes weeks or months after an autopsy is conducted could eventually result in many deaths listed as under investigation as heat associated being changed to confirmed.
Maricopa County confirmed 425 heat-associated deaths last year, and more than half of them occurred in July.
Elsewhere in Arizona next week, the agricultural desert community of Yuma is expecting highs ranging from 104 to 112 (40 C to 44.4 C) and Tucson is looking at highs ranging from 99 to 111 (37.2 C to 43.9 C).
The highs in Las Vegas are forecast to slip as low as 94 (34.4 C) next Tuesday after a long spell of highs above 110 (43.3 C). Death Valley, which hit 128 (53.3 C) in mid-July, will cool as well, though only to a still blistering hot 116 (46.7 C).
In New Mexico, the highs in Albuquerque next week are expected to be in the mid to high 90s (around 35 C), with party cloudy skies. | https://mynorthwest.com/3914669/the-extreme-heat-wave-that-blasted-the-southwest-is-abating-with-late-arriving-monsoon-rains/ | 2023-07-29T08:21:56 | 0 | https://mynorthwest.com/3914669/the-extreme-heat-wave-that-blasted-the-southwest-is-abating-with-late-arriving-monsoon-rains/ |

Dear Amy: My friend “Annie” and I are both in our mid-20′s and love musicals. We decided to travel to New York in October to see a few shows.
The tickets were fairly pricey, so I was planning on saving money by staying with a friend who lives in the city. I thought my friend could probably make room for Annie, too.
After we agreed on the dates and shows, Annie sent me a screenshot with an order confirmation for her tickets, accompanied by a message saying she’d invited her husband and hoped that was OK.
I was frustrated. It was the first time in our planning she’d mentioned her husband coming. The way she did it really boxed me in.
Her husband and I are friends, but the past few times he joined us for shows he fell asleep and audibly snored.
If she had brought it up earlier, I would have pushed back.
I now have two questions: First, my friend can’t host three extra people in their tiny apartment.
Is it all right if I leave Annie and her husband to find a hotel on their own?
How do I express that even though I like her husband, I don’t always want him included on every trip; and that she needs to ask way earlier in the planning process if she wants to bring him?
– Broadway Blues
Dear Broadway: Younger couples sometimes feel the need to do every single thing together (more seasoned couples offer one another more latitude), and I have a theory that “Annie’s” husband might have wheeled his way in, just as she was perusing the online theater seating chart for her ticket.
But even if Annie felt danced into a corner, she absolutely should have run this change past you before committing.
You fear that your friend’s choice has transformed your fun two-person Broadway weekend into a production of Sartre’s famous three-character play “No Exit” (“Hell is other people…”), but I hope you will take this as a valuable lesson to always communicate and clarify. (Trust me, this lesson is worth the price of a Broadway ticket.)
Tell her now, “I’m frustrated. I thought this was a two-person weekend. I like your husband, but now I feel like a third wheel. I really wish you had discussed this with me beforehand. Also, unfortunately there is no way my friend can squeeze in three extra people, so can you two find a place to stay?”
After telling her this, I hope you will simply will yourself into having a fun time in New York. If you let this frustration defeat you, the weekend really will have been a waste.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 49-year-old mother of 10. I always loved my kids dearly and tried my best. But I wanted to be a friend rather than a disciplinarian, and I always gave in. I assumed that because my husband and I never did bad things around them while they were growing up, and because I always resisted peer pressure when I was a teenager, they would follow in our footsteps, but I was wrong. They are now mean to me, and most of them hate me.
I sometimes feel like I don’t want to go on because I’ll always feel sad and depressed. I can’t remember the last time I was happy and didn’t dread waking up every morning. Please find time to answer and give me some hope again. -- BROKEN IN WEST VIRGINIA
DEAR BROKEN: It’s time you stopped depending on your children to validate you, and began recognizing that, for better or worse, you did the best you could as a parent. Please discuss this with your religious adviser AND your physician. You need more help than I can offer in a letter, but those are the places to start. There are better days ahead.

DEAR ABBY: My son is dating a girl I can’t stand. I’m not too crazy about my son right now, either. I no longer want to be out in public with them because their public displays of affection are so over the top it makes me ill. I cannot imagine spending every holiday, birthday or whatever with them for the rest of my life. He hasn’t told us anything about this person. We don’t even know her last name. Help! -- TURNED-OFF MOM IN INDIANA
DEAR MOM: You didn’t mention your son’s age or how long he has been involved with this young woman. It appears they are both quite young. Romances that burn with this kind of intensity usually cool down fairly quickly. In the meantime, be patient. Say nothing that will cause you to be perceived as the “enemy.”
If you would like more information about the girl, ask her in a non-threatening way. (“Are you a schoolmate?” “Do you have a last name?” “Does your family live in town?”) Then make sure your son knows how to protect them both from unwanted pregnancy and STDs “should the need arise,” and wait them out.

Dear Annie: What is the proper etiquette for paying the bill at restaurants while dining out with in-laws?
My daughter is married to a wonderful man who is from a large family. He has three brothers who are all married with several children each. My daughter is our only one. There are times when I attend dinners with this wonderful family, but I’m not sure what to do when the bill comes. There are 15 of them and only one of me (but five of them are mine, too, being my daughter and her family).
I have offered to help out with the bill several times, but they have taken care of it before I can get my wallet out. What should I do next time I am invited to their family dinners? I don’t want to be thought of as taking advantage of their generosity. -- Not a Cheapskate
Dear Not a Cheapskate: I’m confident your in-laws don’t think anything of the sort. Likely, they’ve taken it upon themselves to reach for the bill because they realize how many more of them there are than you. Before the next family meal, take one of your son-in-law’s parents aside to express your gratitude and see how you can contribute for your portion before the check comes. I’m sure they will appreciate your mindfulness.

Democrat Rep. Spanberger allegedly planning run for Virginia governor: report
Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin will vacate the governor's mansion following the 2025 election
Virginia Rep. Abigail Spanberger, a Democrat, has told multiple people within her party that she intends to run in the commonwealth's gubernatorial election in 2025.
The centrist Democrat has been preparing for a run for the governor's office for months or even years but more recently began making her political ambitions clearer. Spanberger and one of her top political aides told four Democrats that she is planning to make a run for governor in the next election, POLITICO reported, citing people familiar with the conversations.
Spanberger's team has also been speaking to congressional colleagues about her plans for a gubernatorial run, two Democratic lawmakers told the outlet.
Virginia's current GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin will vacate the governor's mansion following the 2025 election because governors in the commonwealth may not serve consecutive terms.
SOME VIRGINIA SCHOOL DISTRICTS REJECTING GOVERNOR'S POLICY TRANSGENDER BATHROOMS, PREFERRED PRONOUNS
An announcement from Spanberger would likely not come until after Virginia’s highly competitive state legislative elections this November. The congresswoman's ambitions and the timeline for a potential announcement could hurt Democrats' chances of retaking the U.S. House in 2024, as the party needs to hold onto the seat in Spanberger's competitive district if they hope to win back control of the lower chamber.
President Biden won Spanberger's district by six points in the 2020 presidential election.
Spanberger can run for reelection to her House seat and launch a campaign for governor after that election. But both the congresswoman and one of her aides told two Virginia Democrats last spring that she does not plan to seek a fourth term in Congress, two people familiar with those conversations told POLITICO.
"As every Democrat in Virginia should be, Abigail is squarely focused on the 2023 General Assembly races," a spokesperson for Spanberger's office told the outlet.
Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney and former Virginia House Speaker Eileen Filler-Corn are among the other Democrats most likely to enter the governor's race.
Spanberger, a powerful fundraiser, raised more than $9 million in the 2022 election cycle. But she only has $1.2 million in donor money in 2023 for her congressional reelection as of the end of June, according to POLITICO. And since Virginia has few limits on who can donate or how much, along with the commonwealth's lax campaign finance laws, Spanberger can allocate funds raised for her congressional race to run for governor.
The former CIA officer first won her House seat by a narrow margin five years ago when she defeated GOP Rep. Dave Brat. She has been a leading moderate voice in the Democratic Party on fiscal reform, police funding and other issues.

Virginia holds primaries in June and some Democrats say they would prefer to have an open House seat in a presidential year instead of an unpredictable special election later in the event that Spanberger wins reelection next year and the governor's race in 2025, when her congressional seat would be more vulnerable.
If Spanberger does vacate her House seat, there are several Democratic contenders expected to explore a run in her district, including former state Dels. Jennifer Carroll Foy and Hala Ayala, and state Sen. Jeremy McPike. For Republicans, businessman Bill Moher is the only one who has begun fundraising in the district. | https://www.foxnews.com/politics/democrat-rep-spanberger-allegedly-planning-run-virginia-governor-report | 2023-07-29T08:26:32 | 1 | https://www.foxnews.com/politics/democrat-rep-spanberger-allegedly-planning-run-virginia-governor-report |
SEATTLE (AP) — A shooting in a Seattle parking lot Friday night wounded five people, including two who were in critical condition, the city’s police chief said.
The Seattle Police Department responded to a reported shooting around 9 p.m. in the 9200 block of Rainier Avenue South.
The shooting started in the parking lot of what was formerly known as King Donuts and was directed at a community event occurring nearby, Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz said at the scene.
The five victims included two who were listed in critical condition and three who appeared to be stable. Four victims were transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and the fifth was treated at the scene, Diaz said.

“We know that there's dozens and dozens of rounds that were fired,” said Diaz, who noted police were not sure of a possible motive.
“Right now, we've really got to get guns off the streets,” Diaz said, explaining the number of shootings in the city has fluctuated but remains an issue.
Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell thanked community members and police at the scene for working together to protect residents, calling the violence a tragedy.
“These community leaders are putting literally their lives on the line to protect their own community,” Harrell said. “But you see what we’re trying to build here in Seattle with these fine officers working with these fine community leaders, trying to protect their babies here, trying to protect our youth.” | https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/07/29/nation/shooting-seattle-parking-lot-injures-5-people-including-2-critically-police-chief-says/ | 2023-07-29T08:26:32 | 1 | https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/07/29/nation/shooting-seattle-parking-lot-injures-5-people-including-2-critically-police-chief-says/ |
State Auditor Diana DiZoglio is certainly on target when she says, as she did Wednesday, that people want to know “their officials are not playing games with their taxpayer dollars.”
That should be part of her mandate — and that mandate certainly should include the Legislature, whose leaders continue to insist that they are exempt from the auditor’s investigatory reach. Now DiZoglio, stymied by legislative leaders, has taken her fight to Attorney General Andrea Campbell, urging the AG “to support our effort … to increase transparency, accountability, and equity throughout state government, including the Legislature.”
“Folks are fed up; they’re tired. They want access,” DiZoglio said at a news conference to announce her formal request to the AG. “They want to know that they can trust their elected officials, and it’s nearly impossible to be able to trust elected officials with the tax dollars that you’re giving to the government if those elected officials will not give access to basic information about how those tax dollars are being spent.”
DiZoglio’s aim of shedding light on how taxpayers’ dollars are spent is entirely worthy. But it ought not to be allowed to run afoul of such clear legislative prerogatives as how the House speaker and Senate president select their committee chairs or conduct closed-door party caucuses.
Advertisement
DiZoglio clearly hopes the AG will help fight her battle in court, should it come to that. But there are ways short of a court fight in which the attorney general’s office could use its legal expertise to help the auditor sort through this political thicket without inviting a constitutional battle.
In her letters to legislative leaders, DiZoglio has said her performance audit would include, in addition to hiring policies, “spending and procurement information, information regarding active and pending legislation, the process for appointing committees, the adoption and suspension of legislative rules, and the policies and procedures of the Legislature.”
Advertisement
So it’s no wonder that, as DiZoglio put it, her office has been “stonewalled.”
In a lawyerly 27-page letter to Campbell, DiZoglio has stated her case, including historical precedent for allowing the auditor’s office to audit the House and Senate, some of it dating to 1850 but one instance as current as 2006, all presumably without running afoul of the separation of powers clause.
In an equally lawyerly letter, House counsel James C. Kennedy argues otherwise, noting that DiZoglio’s expansive notion of a performance audit “is indeed the kind of ‘interference by one department with the power of another department’ that the [state] Supreme Judicial Court has held” the separation of powers clause “ ‘scrupulously’ protects against.”
Campbell’s office has promised, “Consistent with our statutory role and responsibility, we will review and respond in due course.”
It would, of course, be helpful to have some legal clarity on the issue more current than a 1931 opinion by then-Attorney General Joseph E. Warner or even the 1994 opinion letter written by then-Assistant Attorney General Peter Sacks. Now a well-regarded Appeals Court judge, Sacks ultimately suggested a legislative remedy to specifically give the auditor authority to audit the Legislature.
House Speaker Ron Mariano and Senate President Karen Spilka have insisted that the Legislature’s annual expenditures of some $80 million are all matters of public record, privately audited and available on the state comptroller’s website. Well, yes — and no. Salaries indeed are listed on the CThru website along with every bill paid by the state treasury for the House, Senate, and joint committees. That includes the three bills submitted this month by the auditing firm of Ernst & Young ($21,515, $27,070, and $21,005), along with a $1,593 bill for goodies for the Senate from Baker’s Best and at least three credit card bills, including one for $4,123 charged to “Joint Legislative operations.”
Advertisement
But there’s likely more the public can and should know about how lawmakers spend tax dollars on their own operations — including staffing levels or whether those legislative per diems are too high. And that would be truly worthy of DiZoglio’s attention. She would be well advised to clarify exactly what it is she needs access to.
It shouldn’t have to take a “we’ll see you in court” moment to do that. In fact, a well-crafted memorandum from the attorney general that provides an on-ramp to increase the transparency of legislative spending and an off-ramp to DiZoglio’s ill-advised expansionist aims would be incredibly useful.
It could also turn this political hot potato Campbell has been handed into a useful teaching moment for the auditor and legislative leaders alike.

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Four air crew members were missing after an Australian army helicopter ditched into waters off the Queensland state coast during joint military exercises with the United States, officials said Saturday.
The MRH-90 Taipan helicopter went down near Lindeman Island, a Great Barrier Reef tourist resort, at about 11 p.m. Friday, exercise director Australian Army Brigadier Damian Hill said.
A search involving U.S., Canadian and Australian personnel was underway to find the crew who are all Australian men, officials said.
Debris that appeared to be from a helicopter had been recovered, Queensland Police Assistant Commissioner Douglas McDonald said.

The Taipan was taking part in Talisman Sabre, a biennial joint U.S.-Australian military exercise that is largely based in Queensland. This year’s exercise involves 13 nations and more than 30,000 military personnel.
Defense Minister Richard Marles said the helicopter ditched, which refers to an emergency landing on water.
“Defense exercises, which are so necessary for the readiness of our defense force, are serious. They carry risk,” Marles told reporters in Brisbane. “As we desperately hope for better news during the course of this day we are reminded about the gravity of the act which comes with wearing our nation’s uniform."
Hill said the exercise was postponed on Saturday morning but had restarted limited activity later in the day. Australia had grounded its Taipan fleet as a precaution, Hill said.
It was the second emergency involving an Australian Taipan this year, after one ditched into the sea off the New South Wales state coast in March. That helicopter was taking part in a nighttime counterterrorism training exercise when it ran into trouble. All 10 passengers and crew members were rescued.
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was in Brisbane for a meeting on Saturday and is due to travel with Marles to north Queensland on Sunday to see the exercise.

Austin and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken paid tribute to the missing air crew at the outset of a meeting with their Australian counterparts, Marles and Foreign Minister Penny Wong.
“It’s always tough when you have accidents in training, but … the reason that we train to such high standards is so that we can be successful and we can protect lives when we are called to answer any kind of crisis,” Austin said.
“Our guys tend to make this look easy and they make it look easy because they’re so well exercised and rehearsed and trained, and this is unfortunately a part of that, what it takes to get them to where we need them to be,” Austin added.
Blinken said, “We’re so grateful to them for their dedication, for their service, for everything they’ve been doing to stand up for the freedom that we share and that is what unites us more than anything else.”
Marles thanked the United States for their contribution to the search and rescue effort.
The missing helicopter had just dropped off two Australian commandos before it hit the water, Australian Broadcasting Corp. reported.
Australia announced in January that its army and navy would stop flying the European-built Taipans by December 2024, 13 years earlier than originally planned, because they had proven unreliable. They will be replaced by 40 U.S. Black Hawks. Marles said at the time the Lockheed Martin-designed Black Hawks “have a really good proven track record in terms of their reliability.”

Australia’s Taipans had been plagued by problems since the first helicopter arrived in the country in 2007.
Australia’s entire fleet of 47 Taipans was grounded in 2019 to fix a problem with their tail rotor blades. A year later, 27 Taipans were grounded because of a problem with doors. | https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/07/29/world/four-air-crew-members-are-missing-after-an-australian-army-helicopter-ditched-off-queensland-coast/ | 2023-07-29T08:26:44 | 1 | https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/07/29/world/four-air-crew-members-are-missing-after-an-australian-army-helicopter-ditched-off-queensland-coast/ |

This is the first of a two-part series.
When it comes to the five-eighths-cent and the three-eighths-cent sales taxes, both of which are sponsored by Go Forward Pine Bluff, it's a topic that has the community torn and split over the decision of whether to support them.
An upcoming special election, if approved by the Pine Bluff City Council, will be held in November with both taxes back on the ballot from a failed special election that was held in May.
The five-eighths-cent sales tax, for a period of seven years, would be used to fund general purposes of city government including, and without limitation, the construction and operation of the Delta Rhythm & Bayous Cultural District; infrastructure necessary to develop housing in the city; park and recreational improvements to include the construction and operation of a movie theater to be owned by the city; and upgrades to existing parks.
The three-eighths-cent sales tax would be used for police and fire department purposes including, and without limitation, an annual bonus on or before Dec. 25 for each uniformed police and fire officer in a minimum amount of $2,000; an annual contribution to the insurance premium of each uniformed police officer and fire officer in the minimum amount of $1,200; and capital purchases for police and fire departments.
The taxes failed during a May special election with a vote of 2,021 against and 1,904 for the extension of the five-eighths-cent sales tax that funds Go Forward Pine Bluff. In a separate vote on the three-eighths-cent tax, the count was 1,964 against and 1,944 for. That tax would have been permanent and provided funding for public safety initiatives.
Go Forward CEO Ryan Watley said that the group behind the public-private initiative has been working with the City Council to bring it back to the voters.
"One of the significant differences between the May election and the November proposal is that there are specific items on the ballot in addition to continuing the improved services," said Watley. "We want citizens to trust their elected officials and put their full faith in the ballot question."
To improve public trust, Watley said they will also improve the frequency of appearing before the council to report information to the public. Watley said Go Forward takes fault for not effectively communicating to the citizens about the challenges and success of the work.
"Following the last campaign, Go Forward Pine Bluff began immediately restructuring our staff and messaging to increase transparency," he said. "We must be proactive to combat misinformation about the partnership that we have with the city of Pine Bluff."
Several council members weighed in on this matter and voiced their support or lack thereof for the upcoming special election.
GLEN BROWN JR.
Council Member and Public Safety Chair Glen Brown Jr. also sits on the Go Forward Public-Private Review Committee. The committee consists of Mayor Shirley Washington and Jeannie Epperson representing the public side; and Tommy May, Mary Pringos and Eric Walden representing the private side.
This committee reviews project requests for compliance with the plan and forwards them to the City Council committee and/or full council for approval. According to City Resolution 4079, all expenditures of the sales tax are to be appropriated by the city council.
Bringing the tax back was a collective decision and according to Brown, the tax is needed in more ways than one.
"While our focus is to the future -- through the five-eighths-cent tax -- we've been able to address some dilemmas that demanded immediate attention. Such as making up for the funding shortfall to complete the aquatic center and [upgrading] the Convention Center that is now a competitive site to host events besides King Cotton, like the 5A [state] basketball tournament," said Brown. "There was a demonstrated need to renovate the Pine Bluff Community Center. The tax also pays the salary of the grant writer who has brought in close to four million in new money to our community."
Brown said the community simply cannot abandon the funding source necessary to address long-standing issues.
"The tax alone does not have sufficient funds or future revenues to support the completion of current projects. However, Go Forward Pine Bluff has raised private monies to close the gap," said Brown. "That is essentially why public-private partnerships are important for the city of Pine Bluff and affirms why the city needs this source of revenue beyond 2024."
Brown recalled the investor who purchased the former Walmart building and the impact that covid-19 had on making the vision of turning it into a movie theater come to fruition.
"He has left the negotiating table mostly because of the impact of covid-19 on the theater industry," said Brown.
Brown said Pine Bluff citizens are traveling to other cities for entertainment and recreational purposes, but the tax would address that issue by funding a movie theater project.
"The lawyers from the Friday Law Firm drafted this portion based on the parks department being the most fitting entity to host a theater as recreation. If approved, we will issue a request for qualifications for a proven operator such as Malco, AMC, etc.," he said. "We will also continue our search for investors to buy into the theater. In the event we are not able to attract an investor, we will have the funds to do the project and increase our recreation/entertainment options in the city of Pine Bluff."
Brown said it is not uncommon for cities to step outside common recreation to keep tax dollars from leaving the city.
To strengthen the public safety tax, according to Brown, conversations occurred during the last campaign with members of the police and fire departments. Officers wanted to know how they would benefit other than their salaries.
"Their position results from a past administration promising to use tax initiatives to support public safety yet redefine or expand public safety to include roads and streetlights," said Brown. "The November proposal aims to solve that concern by listing minimum compensation objectives."
Citizens can expect to see more aggressive blight removal in each ward, quality affordable housing, and a plan to lift people out of poverty and homelessness if the tax is passed, according to Brown.
"Partnerships with UAPB and SEARK will be critical concerning economic development and the workforce," said Brown. "Beautification efforts in neighborhoods should also be expected. We would also like to expand the grant writer's office."
LLOYD HOLCOMB JR.
Lloyd Holcomb Jr. is the son of former councilwoman Irene Holcomb, who holds a leadership title with Go Forward as a board director. Lloyd Holcomb Jr. sits on several committees including Ordinances & Resolutions, Development and Planning, Public Safety and is the chairman of the Administration Committee.
His support for Go Forward has been publicly displayed at several council meetings. In a recent letter to the editor, Holcomb shared some of the progress in which Go Forward played a part, including the remodeling of the Pine Bluff Community Center, the addition of the Carl A. Redus Jr. Aquatic Center, Convention Center upgrades, 200 demolished structures, and the reopening of Harbor Oaks Golf Course.
"These results represent significant progress over seven years, not to mention this work took place amid natural disasters and the pandemic," said Holcomb, adding the public and private monies used to fuel this work will go away in September 2024. "More work and funding are needed to continue developing our city at an aggressive pace. Those efforts will slow down without funding, and much of it will cease to exist."
Holcomb explains that the city's general fund can only sustain all these aggressive initiatives with the existing tax and the November election gives them less than a year to know if funding will be available to continue or which initiatives they can support without the tax.
Noting that the specifics of the ballots included supporting the Delta Rhythm & Bayous Cultural District, Holcomb said the city of Pine Bluff decided to adopt the project.
Jimmy Cunningham Jr., director of the Delta Rhythm & Bayous Cultural District project, has publicly expressed his displeasure with the Go Forward-sponsored tax and has verbalized that he didn't support it even though it funded a project he is so passionate about.
"The complete project is expected to exceed $6 million. The city only has the $2 million committed," said Holcomb. "Mr. Cunningham has done a great job gathering this information and it is understood that he will assist the city by applying for grants."
Holcomb said the citizens have expressed the desire to see this become part of the downtown revitalization.
"If approved by the council and voters, we will continue to work with the Delta Rhythm & Bayous project," said Holcomb. "As a city, we are committed to recognizing contributions from all people who have shaped our city's incredible culture and that will cost money."
When it comes to the public safety tax, Holcomb said the fire department is in dire need of a training center. Despite raising both police and fire departments' overall salaries by 15%, the challenge remains with recruiting, retaining and offering competitive incentives and wages.
"Public safety is a top priority for all Pine Bluff citizens, and juvenile crime intervention, which also received monies from the sales tax, could not be stressed enough," he said. The public safety and Go Forward initiative failed by 20 and 119 votes, respectively.
Holcomb said citizens have time to express their concerns or support before the City Council votes.
"We hope this fosters good debate about our city's challenges and bring about a positive outcome for the city of Pine Bluff," said Holcomb.

MONTICELLO -- A project to extend Arkansas 83 Spur to U.S. 278 was formally christened just outside Monticello Elementary School on Friday.
The state highway leads to the University of Arkansas at Monticello from Old Warren Road, but the $30 million project will extend the road north to go over the Arkansas Midland Railroad and connect to U.S. 278, west of U.S. 425. In addition, two roundabouts will also be constructed.
Presently, those who commute from Drew Memorial Hospital or the Monticello School District campuses take either Old Warren Road or Jordan Drive going east to reach U.S. 425 south of U.S. 278, which runs east to west and separates the northern and southern halves of Monticello. But city leaders and engineers with the Arkansas Department of Transportation, or ArDOT, say the new connector will unite both sides of Monticello and strengthen its economy as a whole, ease traffic flow and increase safety.
"It connects our community to our university better," said Nita McDaniel, director of the Monticello Economic Development Commission. "It does help alleviate traffic congestion problems we've had in our city for a long time. It will help with emergency services, access to our hospital, our two public school districts and the university ... gosh, the list is long of all the benefits."
Mobley Contractors was awarded the project, which is scheduled for completion by early 2026. The city poured in $2.5 million -- $709,000 of which was awarded by the Delta Regional Authority -- and Drew County added $505,000. Other funding was made available by the federal government and ArDOT.
ArDOT will turn over portions of Arkansas 83 Spur and Arkansas 83 to the city and county once this project and a resurfacing of 83 are completed.
McDaniel said funding began with Allen Maxwell, a state legislator who became Monticello's mayor in 2011 and died while in office in 2014.
As a state legislator, McDaniel said, Maxwell requested $1 million in federal aid that went to Monticello while he was mayor.
"This is not, 'Oh, Monticello is getting another road,'" McDaniel said. "This is literally addressing safety, first responders, freight. It's addressing so many issues in our community, and I appreciate that ArDOT saw that importance for our city. We're here today after that long road."
Marie Holder, a member of the Arkansas Highway Commission, said the project is more than 1.5 miles from Jordan Drive to U.S. 278. Portions of the new road will be three lanes and other parts will be two lanes, with one roundabout at 83 Spur and Jordan Drive and the other at Scogin Drive and Old Warren Road. The hospital is situated between both locations.
"Anytime we introduce another level of control at an intersection, in the form of a signal or roundabout, we see improved throughput with traffic and a reduced number in severe crashes," said Jared D. Wiley, chief engineer of pre-construction with ArDOT. "Roundabouts are especially great in that regard. We do have crashes that are usually minor in nature, but we don't see those head-ons or what they call T-bone crashes in the intersections." | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2023/jul/29/highway-project-to-unite-monticello/ | 2023-07-29T08:28:28 | 1 | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2023/jul/29/highway-project-to-unite-monticello/ |
A three-day operation ended in five child exploitation arrests, helped three human trafficking victims and rescued two endangered children in Northwest Arkansas, according to a news release from the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
The effort partnered more than 20 local, state and federal law enforcement agencies and nongovernmental organizations during a child exploitation and human trafficking recovery initiative.
The operation's first goal was to identify, locate and successfully prosecute individuals seeking to engage in criminal sexual acts with minors. The second was to identify sex workers being exploited, provide immediate support services and apprehend and prosecute those exploiting them for financial gain, according to the news release.
The news release failed to say who was arrested or where the arrests occurred. | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2023/jul/29/ice-says-five-child-predators-arrested-in/ | 2023-07-29T08:28:34 | 0 | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2023/jul/29/ice-says-five-child-predators-arrested-in/ |
Mount Eagle Retreat Center in Stone County is an example of what Arkansas United Methodists have been able to accomplish when they work together.
More than a half-century ago, they bought the former hilltop hog farm for $65 an acre, and they slowly converted it into a 1,000-acre refuge offering "Christian hospitality and opportunities for holy listening."
Today the rooms in Kaetzell Lodge, high above the Middle Fork of the Little Red River, bear the names of individual congregations whose members pounded nails and donated dollars to make the miracle happen, ranging from Grace in Conway to Hazel Edwards Memorial in Newark.
The cross-and-flame emblazoned mugs in the kitchen cupboard, advertising churches in Malvern, McGehee, Cabot and Conway among others, also bear witness to the collaboration.
To the naked eye, the unfolding schism within the United Methodist Church appears to have had no impact whatsoever in these parts.
Despite denominational differences over human sexuality and scriptural interpretation, the fish are still biting, the whippoorwills continue to sing, the sunsets remain awe-inspiring and the stars still dazzle at night.
But the fighting in the valley has had financial consequences on the mountaintop.
With 102 of its roughly 600 congregations disaffiliating, the Arkansas Conference of the United Methodist Church has had to slash its spending.
The amount it earmarks for Mount Eagle, as much as $80,000 per year when times were flush, fell from $50,000 in fiscal 2023 to $20,000 for fiscal 2024. In fiscal 2025, it will be eliminated altogether.
That represents close to 30% of Mount Eagle's revenue, according to Hank Godwin, a longtime Mount Eagle board member who attends Lakewood United Methodist Church in North Little Rock.
With cuts looming, "We're trying to change our acumen for fundraising," he said. "We're all having to evolve."
"We're not bitter at all about losing our apportionment. Not at all. We've known it was coming," he said.
The conference continues to value Mount Eagle and its ministry.
"While our direct financial support through the conference budget has been greatly reduced this year and will end completely next year, we are planning to help offset that decrease through increased usage of the camp for Arkansas Annual Conference-related gatherings. Our ties to Mt. Eagle and appreciation for their ministry run deep, and we want to keep that relationship strong," Bishop Laura Merrill said in a written statement.
Moving forward, Mount Eagle is looking for grants and seeking to spread the word about its facilities.
It passed out sunglasses to highlight next year's total solar eclipse. Its rooms on that day, April 8, are already booked, though tent and RV spaces remain.
Although the property is owned by United Methodists, Mount Eagle is open to people and groups of all faiths as well as the religiously unaffiliated.
"I'd say 80% of our guests are non-Methodists," Godwin said.
Given its location and its resources, Mount Eagle is worth knowing about, retreat center officials say.
"This place is still an untapped resource for Arkansans in general," said Clint Johnson, a member of the board who attends Vilonia United Methodist Church.
The view of the river is unforgettable, notes Mount Eagle's executive director, Katelyn Hiatt.
"Breathtaking is the word I would use," she said. In the morning, the valley is often enveloped in fog. Once it clears, the vista is incredible.
Event fees are typically low.
An annual three-day fishing retreat, earlier this month, cost between $110 and $125 and included two nights lodging, five meals, transportation to the river, guide services and souvenir T-shirts.
A weekend grief retreat featuring Greg Adams, director of the Center for Good Mourning at Arkansas Children's Hospital, and a Enneagram retreat, both scheduled for Oct. 27-29, are similarly priced.
Kaetzell Lodge, with its 16 bedrooms, full kitchen, dining room, commons area and modern restrooms, is big enough to accommodate 38 overnight guests.
It has full internet access.
Located roughly 18 miles northeast of Clinton, it is less than two hours from Little Rock; less than three from Springfield, Mo.
It can be rented -- in its entirety -- for $425 per night on weekdays and $475 per night on weekends -- less than $15 per bed.
There are other facilities available as well.
Beal Lodge, which sleeps 32 people, can be rented for $350 to $700 per night.
A hermitage cabin with a screened-in porch overlooking a pond goes for $40 per night.
Mount Eagle's cottages are available for $25 to $30 per person per night.
RV spots go for $15 each, a price Johnson called "stupid cheap."
Guests have access to the entire 1,000-acre site, including a prayer labyrinth, an outdoor chapel, a boat chapel and an 18-hole disc golf course.
"We're still the best bargain in the state," Godwin said.
Both men expressed confidence about Mount Eagle's future and praised Hiatt's leadership.
"She has got the vision," Godwin said.
Johnson emphasized her work ethic. The worry, if anything, is that she does too much.
"There's no off time for her. This is 100 hours a week, at least. This is not her job; this is her life. It's her whole family's life," Johnson said.
Hiatt said she wants people "to know about this place, and to care about it and to want to stay here and to want to give to it."
Mount Eagle is more than a destination, she said.
"It's not just a building and some land. It really is a place for people to disconnect and reconnect to who they are and to whose they are," she said. "This is a very special ministry." | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2023/jul/29/in-wake-of-splits-methodist-retreat-in-stone/ | 2023-07-29T08:28:40 | 0 | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2023/jul/29/in-wake-of-splits-methodist-retreat-in-stone/ |
Rather than promoting a single religion, Little Rock's Friendship Camp celebrates a variety of faith expressions.
Launched in 2016, the program promotes diversity, rather than dogma, embracing pluralism rather than proselytism.
Earlier this month, Friendship Camp drew nearly 60 Central Arkansas children in third through-sixth grades.
Now, it is expanding into Northwest Arkansas as well, with classes scheduled to begin Monday at First Christian Church in Bentonville.
Liz Emis, the church's director of children and family ministry, says her congregation is "unabashedly progressive," with members who are "happy to put their hands and feet to work for service."
She spearheaded the effort to bring the camp to her community. During the three-day program, the children will learn about a number of religious traditions, she said.
"I have faith leaders from Bahai, Buddhist, Cherokee Indigenous tradition, ... Hindu, Islam and Judaism," she said.
Christians and people with "no particular faith" will also share their perspectives, she added.
The young campers are also diverse. A plurality -- roughly 40% -- are what she calls "explorers" -- children unaffiliated with any particular religious tradition.
Protestant and Catholic Christians make up roughly 30%.
The remainder are Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Jews and members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she said.
Sarah Hyndman, volunteer director for the Little Rock camp, is glad to see the program grow.
"We are so so excited to be expanding to Northwest Arkansas," she said.
This year, the camp was held at Temple B'nai Israel. In previous years, it had met at Episcopal churches.
Participants this year focused the first day on light, the second on forgiveness, the third on gratitude and the fourth on generosity. On the fifth day, they took field trips to the Cathedral of St. Andrew and to Radha Madhav Hindu Temple.
"It's been such a success here in Central Arkansas. Liz has really taken and run with that vision, found some great community partners and I think they're gonna have a really good first year," she said.
Emis, a student at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary near Chicago, is studying "childist theology, interfaith repair and social justice," her biography states.
In addition, she is on the pathway to ordination as a deacon in the United Methodist Church.
She doesn't claim to have all the answers.
"For me, Christianity offers the opportunity to revel in complete wonder, to keep asking and enjoying the questions," she said.
Rather than conversion, the camp's goal is illumination.
"My hope is that children come here and illusionary boundaries and blind spots that they didn't even know they had are dismantled," she said.
"[It's] not necessarily the most easy time to be a child in school, particularly if you're not white and Christian," she said. "My hope is that these children head back to school, and they become more than just advocates; they become allies and they become friends." | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2023/jul/29/interfaith-camp-expands-to-northwest-arkansas/ | 2023-07-29T08:28:46 | 1 | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2023/jul/29/interfaith-camp-expands-to-northwest-arkansas/ |
12th in a series previewing SEC football teams.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Joe Milton transferred from Michigan in 2021 to be the starting quarterback at Tennessee, but he held that spot for just two games.
After Milton was sidelined by a leg injury against Pittsburgh, Hendon Hooker replaced him and made 22 consecutive starts.
With Hooker remaining the starter last season, it figured Milton would be on the move again. Considering the transfer portal options, what quarterback sticks around to be a backup and wait for another chance to start?
Milton, as it turned out.
With Hooker moving on to the NFL as a third-round draft pick by the Detroit Lions, Milton is again Tennessee's starting quarterback as a sixth-year senior.
"The one thing that built my respect for Joe the most was the fact that he stayed, man," Tennessee senior tight end Jacob Warren said at SEC media days. "Everyone could understand why he would leave, want to go play, because he's obviously a great talent.
"But the fact that he stayed, learned from Hendon and also helped Hendon out in a lot of different areas of the game, has truly shown me he's committed to this place. He's committed to be great here."
Milton has been productive the previous two seasons despite making only four starts in that span while also playing off the bench late in 13 games.
In 17 games at Tennessee, Milton has passed for 1,346 yards and 12 touchdowns without an interception.
When Hooker suffered a season-ending knee injury in the 11th game last season against South Carolina, Milton started in Tennessee's victories over Vanderbilt (56-0) and Clemson in the Orange Bowl (31-14).
Milton completed 19 of 28 passes for 251 and 3 touchdowns in the Orange Bowl to earn MVP honors.
"For Joe, I think it solidified all the work that he put in, that he would go out and perform and play," Tennessee Coach Josh Heupel said. "It was proving himself right as much as anything. Wasn't about proving anybody wrong. It was about proving himself right.
"It was great for him and the guys around him to see that hard work does pay off and take advantage of your opportunities and be prepared when it comes."
Milton said at media days it took him into his second season at Tennessee to get comfortable in Heupel's offense.
"Probably the third game of last season," Milton said. "You play a whole lot different when you're comfortable, as you can see.
"Hendon got comfortable in the offense and you saw what happened.
"As you get comfortable, things just open up for you. Things open up for the other guys as well."
Now that Milton is entrenched as the starter, he said he's ready to take his play to another level.
"I'm just ready to show off my game, period," Milton said. "It means a lot to me to show off to myself. I mean, nothing else matters. Once you make yourself happy, I feel like you'll be good to go."
Milton, 6-5 and 242 pounds, was asked multiple times at media days about his arm strength. One video posted on social media showed him throwing a pass more than 70 yards during a workout.
"I actually don't know the furthest I can throw the ball," Milton said. "I kind of just let it go. It's a mindset thing.
"As a quarterback, once you feel like somebody's too far [for a completion], then they're going to be too far from you, right? I kind of just let it go no matter where they're at."
Milton showed off his arm strength at this year's Manning Passing Academy, where the quarterback attendees included LSU's Jayden Daniels and Mississippi State's Will Rogers.
Daniels and Rogers also attended media days and were asked about Milton.
"His arm strength is ridiculous," Daniels said. "That's what stands out the most. How much zip he has on the ball and his velocity.
"I respect his game and I can't wait to see what he does this year."
Rogers also had high praise for Milton.
"He's got the strongest arm in the world," Rogers said. "I think pro or college, it doesn't matter. He's got the strongest arm I've ever seen.
"A really good dude too. I got to talk to him a good bit. I hope he succeeds this year."
Warren said Milton has matured in his time at Tennessee.
"You see a lot more confidence in Joe," Warren said. "True confidence in himself.
"Just kind of how he carries himself, how he interacts with other people."
Milton's decision to stay at Tennessee means the Vols can realistically look to build on last season's 11-2 record.
"I think one of the great stories in college football in the era of the transfer portal is Joe's ability to recognize areas that he can continue to grow in and trust the people around him," Heupel said. "Understand that within our scheme, he's going to have an opportunity to do everything he wants to, which is be one of the best players in college football.
"Through that process over the last 18 to 24 months, he's continued to grow in his comfort of who he is, what he's about and how he wants to attack and approach every single day.
"How he wants to grow as a football player, meaning fundamentally at the quarterback position, along with understanding offensive and defensive schemes so that he can put his eyes in the right spot."

Dear Mahatma: Running red lights is such a normal event in Northwest Arkansas. Why can't we have cameras to catch lawbreakers in the act and send them a ticket in the mail? -- Keith
Dear Keith: We go through a red-light intersection near our home at least once a day. We never haul out when the light turns green, but always wait a moment for fools like the one in a dark Dodge Charger who hammered his vehicle through a red light the other day.
Not. Even. Close.
May his transmission fall out onto his driveway.
Act 707 of this past legislative session amended state law to allow law enforcement to use real-time cameras in highway work zones.
An image is taken and transmitted to a police officer at the end of a work zone. The officer can then pull over the driver and either warn or ticket him.
This expansion of the legal use of such cameras doesn't change the part of the law which generally prohibits municipalities from using red-light cameras, then sending a ticket in the mail.
How can the law be changed to give this power to municipalities? By lobbying the Legislature to make the change.
In our humble opinion, this would be like that guy Sisyphus pushing a rock up a hill for eternity.
Dear Mahatma: Last summer ArDot resurfaced Arkansas 69 between Moorefield and Newark. It included grooved center and shoulder rumble strips. They topped it off with raised yellow pavement markers. Good job. Then December came and with the first snow the markers were mostly scraped off. Unless someone develops a light-weight plowable marker ArDot is wasting time. -- Newarkian
Dear Newk: Isn't it nice to think about snow in July?
There are lightweight plowable markers, but they aren't used for several reasons.
First, plowable markers cost about $40 each to buy and install. Raised pavement markers cost $3-4 to buy and install, and installation is much faster.
Second, lenses on plowable markers tend to lose reflectivity after a year or two.
Third, because of their larger size those plowable markers have to be fully removed and replaced when the road is repaved.
Fourth, ArDot is putting centerline rumble strips more often on primary highways. If larger plowable markers are used, they would conflict with the continuous grinding operation of installing centerline rumble strips.
Everybody got this? Quiz next week.
Note to vehicle buyers. The General Assembly, in its wisdom, passed Act 41, which extends from 30 days to 60 days the deadline by which a vehicle must be registered and sales tax paid.
The act takes effect Aug. 1, 2023, which is ... Tuesday!
We assume, as cockeyed optimists, that the extra time will allow more people to gather up the sales tax cash so as not to drive around with expired temporary tags.
Vanity plate: PRYRWKS. We know prayer works, or the Fabulous Babe would have dumped us after the second date.

Fifth in a series featuring newcomers to the Arkansas football program.
Jaylon Braxton is a self-proclaimed chef in the kitchen, so it's only natural that his recipe for success with the University of Arkansas isn't complicated.
In fact, it's a piece of cake in his eyes.
"Hard work," said Braxton, a 6-0, 184-pound freshman defensive back from Frisco, Texas. "[Arkansas] is going to get that out of me all the time. I plan on making an impact on this team, and I want to be a freshman All-American this year. And in order to do that, I've got to put the work in."
Braxton has been doing plenty of work since he's been with the Razorbacks, but that shouldn't be much of a shock. His reputation for extensive effort preceded his arrival, thanks to the handiwork he did at Lone Star High School.
As a senior with the Rangers, Braxton wore a multitude of hats and produced at just about every spot he lined up. He caught 41 passes for 566 yards and 6 touchdowns at wide receiver while racking up 27 tackles and 5 interceptions at defensive back. Braxton even blocked a field goal and returned 8 punts for 99 yards with 1 touchdown on special teams.
The former 4-star prospect also added a touchdown pass for good measure in helping guide Lone Star to a 9-3 record and a spot in the second round of the Class 5A Division I state playoffs.
While he isn't expected to be called upon to contribute from those same areas with the Razorbacks, that doesn't mean Braxton's not opposed to it. Besides, he insists that things have been good for him so far.
"It's been great actually," he said. "I'm adjusting very well, just getting used to the team and the environment at Arkansas. At my high school, our coaches did a really good job of preparing us for everything about college and what it would be like.
"So I'm used to all the meetings, all of the practices, workouts and things like that. It's been really, really good."
Braxton also said time management has been key in his acclimatization to college life. He admitted as much, especially when it comes to him juggling working out, studying a playbook and sleeping. But he also noted that he's adapted fairly well to it all and is ready to roll with a Razorback team that's seemingly restocked in the secondary.
Arkansas, who hired Marcus Woodson and Travis Williams to be co-defensive coordinators during the offseason, lost a surplus of cornerbacks from last season but plucked a number of talented players on that side of the ball out of the transfer portal. The Razorbacks anticipate big things from Baylor move-ins Alfahiym Walcott, who was a second-team All-Big 12 pick last season, and Lorando Johnson, who started 12 of the Bears' 13 games in 2022. Jaheim Singletary, a 5-star recruit from the Class of 2022, also made his way to Arkansas after spending his freshman season with two-time defending national champion Georgia.
There are other defensive back transfers on the roster, like Kee'yon Stewart from TCU and A.J. Braithwaite from Western Kentucky, to go along with returning players like Dwight McGlothern, who led the Razorbacks in interceptions last season with four, and the handful of true freshmen.
But there's a reason why Braxton had offers from more than 30 NCAA Division I programs and was a major target for fellow SEC schools LSU, Mississippi, Tennessee and Vanderbilt. But it was Arkansas Coach Sam Pittman who landed the coveted ballhawk.
"Just the man he is, how he treats his players and how he treats his coaches is what made me want to come," Braxton said of Arkansas' fourth-year coach. "On all my visits to other schools, it really wasn't like that. When I came to visit to Arkansas, I was originally committed to Michigan State. But when I got here, it was a no-brainer. It's closer to home so it's easier for my family to come visit me as well.
"The resources we have here, it's all you need to get to the next level. But with the Arkansas coaches, you always get the real from them. Everything Coach Pittman told me, that's what has happened. They're going to keep it 100 with you, and I love that."
The love Braxton has for the Razorbacks is starting to rival his affinity for being on the grill or in the kitchen, too.
"Man, I love cooking," he said. "Me and my roommate, we always cook a meal about once a week. We had an NIL event where we were chefs, and my favorite meal is steak. I can eat it every day."

A couple of generations of musical theater geeks have geeked out on Jonathan Larson's Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical "Rent."
I have never been one of them, until I saw the production that opened Friday at North Little Rock's Argenta Community Theater.
It took me until the highly emotional and intense second act, but I came around.
You will not -- if you manage to score a ticket, which will be a little difficult because much of its run has already sold out -- see much better performances of this show on any stage, or staging much better than the masterpiece contrived by director Brandon Box-Higdem and choreographer Brian Earles.
Larson, who never actually saw his piece staged because he died shortly before it opened, based it loosely on Giacomo Puccini's opera "La Boheme," transferring his Bohemian setting from Paris to the East Village of New York City, taking us through a year in the life of a group of starving young artists and musicians who are struggling to survive and continue to create under the terrible shadow of HIV/AIDS.
All the principals -- roommates Mark (Caelon Colbert), a would-be filmmaker, and Roger (Skyler Matthias), a guitarist and songwriter; their neighbor Mimi (Amaya Hardin), a nightclub dancer; Mark's ex Maureen (Annslee Clay) and her girlfriend, Joanne (Kristen Phantazia Smith); drag queen Angel (Lucas Bachus) and her boyfriend Collins (Ladarius Jamerson); and former Bohemian, turned fat cat, Benny (Jeremiah Herman) -- are all awe-inspiring from the first note of the first song.
Not to pick one number out, but "Over the Moon," Clay's first-act piece of performance art, knocked the audience absolutely flat. Almost each member of the excellent ensemble got an individual moment to shine.
It all takes place on Michael Klucher's crusty, two-level, ghetto-inspired set, which Box-Higdem uses to great effect; Dana Kimberling's lighting design is particularly effective, especially all the down-spots in the show's big hit, "Seasons of Love." The five-piece "pit" band (actually onstage behind chain-link fencing) was superb. The finale includes the unveiling of an AIDS quilt assembled specifically for this production.
The show runs through Aug. 5 at the theater, 405 Main St., North Little Rock, including a recently added 2 p.m. Aug. 5 matinee. The show contains adult themes and references and is not recommended for younger audiences.

The third annual Rosemary Gross Summer Reading Challenge concluded Wednesday at the Downtown Library on Main Street.
Forty-two students participated in this Summer's Reading Challenge from the library branches in Jefferson County.
These students read a total of 781 books during the three weeks of competition.
"I'm very excited about the number of books read," said Jeff Gross, son of the late Rosemary Preston Gross. "Listening to these students talk about their favorite book they read and a little details in the closing ceremonies today was special."
Kayla Chatman, last year's scholarship award winner returned Wednesday to read to the students. She is a sophomore at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, and is majoring in Kinesiology Pre-Medicine.
Chatman was also on hand to be a part of the unveiling of the Rosemary Gross portrait and the Awards Scholarship Plaque, which is now on the second floor wall of the library.
All of today's participants received reading certificates, and the winners received medals by grades at the awards ceremony. The students and family members also were treated to refreshments that included hot dogs, nachos, popcorn and cake.
The 2023 Rosemary Gross grade winners included:
K-2: Alice Williams of White Hall, who read 80 books;
3-5: Taylor Knight of Pine Bluff, who read 100 total books;
6-8: Addison McCorvy of Pine Bluff and Rose Redd of White Hall;
9-11: Christian Logan of Altheimer, who read 40 books.
"I'd like to thank Library Director Ricky Williams and his staff for all their effort," said Gross, "along with Librarian Jana Mitchell, who helped make this possible three years ago." | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2023/jul/29/summer-reading-winners-honored/ | 2023-07-29T08:29:17 | 0 | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2023/jul/29/summer-reading-winners-honored/ |

LGBTQ+ community proud and visible at Women’s World Cup
AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) — New Zealand striker Hannah Wilkinson has helped create two milestones at the Women’s World Cup.
With her 48th-minute goal in the tournament opener against Norway, she led the co-host Football Ferns to their first win in six trips to the Women’s World Cup. She’s also one of at least 95 out members of the LGBTQ+ community competing in this year’s tournament, according to a count being kept by Outsports, a website that covers the LGBTQ+ sports.
The Ferns were greeted with a fan-made sign at their next match in Wellington: “Gay for soccer, gay for Wilkie,” it read.
The 95 out participants make up roughly 13% of the 736 total players at the Women’s World Cup, more than doubling the 40 players and coaches Outsports counted in 2019.
The 2023 tournament also is hosting the first openly trans and non-binary player in either a men’s or Women’s World Cup, Quinn of Canada.
“Last World Cup was so big, especially with the visibility of the U.S. women’s national team winning and (Megan Rapinoe) fighting with (Donald) Trump. So I think that was a huge year for LGBTQ+ visibility,” said Lindsey Freeman, a professor of sociology and anthropology at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia.
“It’s just the ad hoc, fun culture of women’s soccer that you’re seeing in this World Cup,” said Freeman, who is in New Zealand conducting research on the topic.
Jim Buzinski, co-founder of Outsports, agreed. “In the Western world, it’s such a non-issue that it really just doesn’t get talked about,” he said. “And I think that’s in a good way.”
VISIBILITY
Prior to the start of the tournament, FIFA designated eight socially conscious armbands team captains could wear throughout the Women’s World Cup. The decision came after “One Love” armbands were denied to men’s teams in Qatar in 2022.
The armbands being used this year include anti-discriminatory sayings and multiple colors, but the rainbow version Germany wanted to use is not allowed. None of the available options explicitly mention LGBTQ+ rights.
The decision has led many players to express their support in more creative ways across Australia and New Zealand.
New Zealand midfielder Ali Riley was interviewed on the official Women’s World Cup broadcast after her team’s upset of Norway. Her painted fingernails, left hand in the colors of the pride flag and right hand as the trans flag, were clearly visible as she held her head and fought back tears.
“She’s such an advocate and she’s definitely someone who uses her platform in such a positive way. We are all so proud of her and the way she represents the LGBTQ+ community,” teammate CJ Bott said. “Good on her. We’re all backing her, and we all back the community as well.”
The Philippines, making its Women’s World Cup debut, took home its own historic win over New Zealand 1-0 thanks to the foot of Sarina Bolden. Bolden’s Instagram bio reads, “i just wanna have fun n b gay.”
Irish star Katie McCabe wowed fans with a goal directly from a corner kick. She’s also made tabloid news for her relationships with other players.
Thembi Kgatlana, who has scored in the tournament for South Africa, has a patch of her hair dyed rainbow colors.
“My personality is very big for me, and my hair has become a part of my personality,” Kgatlana said. “And I did this rainbow because I want to represent all the people that are part of the LGBTQ and cannot talk while in countries where they’re oppressed.”
FAN EXPERIENCE
Kristen Pariseau and her wife started a U.S. women’s national team supporters group on Facebook ahead of traveling to this year’s Women’s World Cup. Aside from some hateful users she blocked, it’s been “super LGBT friendly.”
She and her wife did not go to Qatar for the 2022 men’s World Cup to avoid referencing each other as friends and receiving questions on their sexuality. In New Zealand, she said she’s met many same-sex couples at games and while traveling around the country.
“Everywhere you turn, it’s like, ‘Oh, my wife, my girlfriend.’ It’s been so welcoming and open,” Pariseau said. “In a way, it is kind of cool to be where there’s a lot of other people like you.”
Kelsie Bozart took her own pride flag armband to the United States’ second match in Wellington, along with a pride scarf.
“If you look back a couple years, I feel like it just wasn’t really talked about or there just wasn’t much of a presence,” Bozart said. “But moving forward I feel like, especially for the U.S., they’ve done an amazing job of just incorporating pride and LGBTQ.”
NOT UNIVERSAL
Though this year’s tournament has highlighted vast gains for the LGBTQ+ community in women’s soccer, advocates feel there is still work to be done.
According to Buzinski and Outsports, there were at least 186 LGBTQ+ athletes at the Tokyo Olympics. Women outnumbered men by a 9:1 ratio. There also were no confirmed out players at the 2022 men’s World Cup.
“I think women’s sports have always been open,” Denmark striker Pernille Harder said, adding that there are many role models for women who want to come out.
Freeman said it would be good to see men feel the same level of comfort.
“What can happen in the women’s game, I would love to spill over to the men’s game,” she said. “Because obviously, there’s way more queer players in the men’s game and it’s just not safe for them to come out.
“If you want to say that you’re in an inclusive space, you really have to be an inclusive space,” Freeman added. “And I think that that includes also holding the World Cup in places where it’s fine to be a queer person.”

Man pleads guilty to vehicular homicide in death of Black Lives Matter protester
SEATTLE (AP) — A man who hit two protesters with his car, killing one of them, during a Black Lives Matter demonstration in 2020 in Seattle has pleaded guilty to multiple felonies.
Dawit Kelete, 30, pleaded guilty on Thursday to vehicular homicide in the death of 24-year-old Summer Taylor, The Seattle Times reported. He also pleaded guilty to vehicular assault and reckless driving charges. Attorneys as part of the plea deal have agreed to recommend a sentence of more than six years in prison and 18 months of probation. Kelete is set to be sentenced in September.
On July 4, 2020, the Washington State Patrol said Kelete drove the wrong way onto Interstate 5, around a barricade of parked vehicles, and struck Taylor and Diaz Love.
Taylor later died and Love was hospitalized with multiple injuries.
Kelete was arrested shortly afterward and told police he was withdrawing from the narcotic pain medication Percocet and struggled with an “untreated addiction,” court documents said.
Francisco Duarte, Kelete’s attorney, said Kelete asked about the victims from the beginning and has shown remorse. Duarte also claimed authorities were negligent and failed to protect the public and protesters.
An attorney for Taylor’s family, Karen Koehler, on Thursday lamented the years it’s taken for the case to move through the court system, and said the family is focused on remembering Taylor, KING-TV reported.
“While it was a relief to know they wouldn’t have to go to court, there’s a lot of very sad, grieving people still,” Koehler said. “They are... resigned, that this is the best that can be done.”
Love, who suffered a traumatic brain injury, fractures, lacerations, and other physical wounds, is suing the state, city and Kelete. A trial date has been scheduled for next February.
The lawsuit says Kelete was driving negligently and that state and city agencies failed to block all access ramps to I-5 and refused to protect vulnerable protesters. The State Patrol had closed the freeway during the demonstration, which was part of a run of nightly protests over the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police.
Family described Taylor as someone who was dedicated to justice. She had been demonstrating and rallying in support of Black Lives Matter nearly every day of the protests.

The 2023 Formula 1 World Championship continues this weekend with round 13, the Belgian Grand Prix, which takes place at the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit and will see the Saturday Sprint race return.
The Spa circuit is nestled within the beautiful Ardennes hills and features a long, unrelenting track that serves as a stern test for car and driver. The average speed approaches 145 mph, making it one of the fastest laps of the season, and drivers experience over 5 g in some of the turns, such as Turn 10, known as Pouhon. The cars also run at full throttle for almost 80% of the lap.
Stretching 4.35 miles, Spa has the longest track on the calendar, resulting in the race lasting only 44 laps—the lowest on the calendar. The track is so big that it’s not unusual to have varying weather conditions at different parts. For example, rain at one end and sunshine at the other. The current forecast calls for heavy rain throughout the weekend, which has already resulted in some calls for the race to possibly be canceled.
The first and third sectors at Spa feature long straights and flat-out sections, but the second sector is twisty. This makes it challenging to find the right balance and set-up compromise, particularly with the wing level.
The track surface is on the abrasive side, meaning tires get quite the workout. Pirelli has nominated its mid-range compounds: the C2 as the White hard, C3 as the Yellow medium, and C4 as the Red soft.
The Belgian round will mark 2023’s third running of the Saturday Sprint race, after the Azerbaijan and Austrian Grands Prix. This season, the Sprint race has been made a standalone event rather than the qualifier for the main race, as was previously the case. It still has championship points on the table for both drivers and teams, however.
The round is the last stop before the summer break and will see some teams run upgrades, including Mercedes-Benz AMG whose cars will feature a new design for the side pods.
Going into the weekend, Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen leads the 2023 Drivers’ Championship with 281 points. Fellow Red Bull driver Perez is second with 171 points and Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso is third with 139 points. In the Constructors’ Championship, Red Bull leads with 452 points, versus the 223 of Mercedes and 184 of Aston Martin in second and third places. Last year’s winner in Belgium was Verstappen, driving for Red Bull.

Shooting in Seattle parking lot injures 5 people, including 2 critically, police chief says
SEATTLE (AP) — A shooting in a Seattle parking lot Friday night wounded five people, including two who were in critical condition, the city’s police chief said.
The Seattle Police Department responded to a reported shooting around 9 p.m. in the 9200 block of Rainier Avenue South.
The shooting started in the parking lot of what was formerly known as King Donuts and was directed at a community event occurring nearby, Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz said at the scene.
The five victims included two who were listed in critical condition and three who appeared to be stable. Four victims were transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and the fifth was treated at the scene, Diaz said.
“We know that there’s dozens and dozens of rounds that were fired,” said Diaz, who noted police were not sure of a possible motive.
“Right now, we’ve really got to get guns off the streets,” Diaz said, explaining the number of shootings in the city has fluctuated but remains an issue.
Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell thanked community members and police at the scene for working together to protect residents, calling the violence a tragedy.
“These community leaders are putting literally their lives on the line to protect their own community,” Harrell said. “But you see what we’re trying to build here in Seattle with these fine officers working with these fine community leaders, trying to protect their babies here, trying to protect our youth.”

Anyone looking to take delivery of Lamborghini’s Revuelto supercar better be prepared to wait (or pay hefty markups on the used market) as the car’s production run for the next two years is already allocated, the automaker announced this week.
Despite an upgrade to Lamborghini’s plant in Sant’Agata Bolognese to accommodate more automated processes, production of the Revuelto is still very much a hands-on affair, with plenty of traditional handcrafted skills retained, ensuring production will remain limited. According to Lamborghini, around 500 staff are dedicated to the car’s production.
The Revuelto was revealed in March as the successor to the Aventador. It’s Lamborghini’s first plug-in hybrid and is powered by a sophisticated setup combining a newly developed V-12 and three electric motors for a combined output of 1,000 hp.
The Revuelto isn’t just an Aventador with more power, though. It represents a ground-up redesign that in addition to electrification includes a new carbon-fiber tub, a new 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and that new V-12.
Lamborghini quotes performance numbers of 2.5 seconds in the 0-62 mph run and a top speed of 218 mph.
Lamborghini hasn’t announcing pricing for the Revuelto in the U.S., but in other markets the car is priced from 500,000 euros (approximately $548,700). Deliveries are scheduled to start in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Lamborghini’s Urus will be the automaker’s next plug-in hybrid. The SUV will go the electrified route starting in the first half of 2024. A plug-in hybrid successor to the Huracán will then arrive toward the end of 2024. Further out, Lamborghini plans to launch an electric vehicle in 2028. It was confirmed by the automaker in April as a 2+2 grand tourer.

Mercedes-Benz has introduced an update to its mid-size van family to help keep the vehicles fresh until the arrival of successor models based on a dedicated electric vehicle platform later this decade.
The sole mid-size van Mercedes currently sells in the U.S. is the Metris. In other markets, the Metris is known as the Vito and is sold alongside a luxury version called the V-Class. The Vito and V-Class also come in electric form, known as the eVito and EQV respectively.
While the Vito has been updated, there are no plans to bring it to the U.S. as an updated Metris. The current Metris is still available to U.S. buyers but will be phased out later this year.
The updates to the mid-size van family include tweaks to the exterior styling highlighted by an enlarged grille and new light signatures for the headlights. There’s also a new dash design that adopts a single panel integrating both a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 12.3-inch infotainment screen in the plush V-Class and EQV. In the Vito and eVito commercial models, the dash sticks to analog gauges with a 5.5-inch screen in the center, plus a 10.3-inch infotainment screen. Buyers also have five new colors to choose from, along with various wheel patterns ranging from 17-19 inches in diameter.
Mercedes has also added new digital services and safety features, one of which is an updated Active Brake Assist feature that now functions in intersections. Active Brake Assist is a collision warning system that supports the driver by automatically adding extra braking pressure when necessary, and activating automatic emergency braking if the driver fails to apply the brakes.
No change has been made to the powertrains meaning buyers have a series of diesels to choose from, including 4- and 6-cylinder options, plus an electric powertrain in the eVito and EQV.
While the U.S. will soon lose the Metris, Mercedes in May said it will bring a luxury mid-size van to this market later this decade. It will be based on the new Van.EA platform. The dedicated EV platform will spawn its first model in 2026, though Mercedes hasn’t revealed the model’s identity.
Mercedes said it expects electric vans to account for 50% of its van sales by 2030.

Porsche earlier this week revealed more than just a first look at its lounge-like road-trip fast-charging stations, to be laid out along some top routes in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Within details for these design-savvy charging oases there was a bigger technology reveal: Its EVs in the future, it hinted, may charge above 300 kw and perhaps closer to 400 kw.
That message came within how the automaker explained the charging hardware situated at these Porsche Charging Lounges. They’ll be “perfectly tailored to the requirements of Porsche drivers on long journeys,” the company explained. That means a current max charge power of 300 kw from the Alpitronic hardware at those stations, it explained, but it then stated: “By the start of next year, 400 kw per charging point should be possible.”
Since its launch, the Porsche Taycan has been capable of 800-volt DC fast-charging up to 270 kw—made more reproducible for 2022—offering a 5-80% charge in as little as 22.5 minutes.
The 2024 Porsche Macan Electric, which is due to go on sale in the first half of 2024 and built on the PPE platform jointly developed by Porsche and Audi, will inherit the Taycan’s 800-volt charging. But Porsche has suggested that PPE may be capable of a bit more.
While the Macan may stretch closer to 300 kw, it has to be another future vehicle that fast-charges at an even higher rate, taking advantage of those 400-kw connectors.
But the charger announcement may be teasing a product that’s yet to come and farther in the future. Will that be the Boxster-inspired electric sports car, which might include the 718 badge; a production version of the 900-volt Mission X concept the brand recently revealed; or another new EV from the sports-car brand? Or all of the above?
Porsche has said that by 2030 over 80% of the vehicles it delivers globally will be fully electric—although it’s suggested that the last gasoline model it will make will be the 911.
That said, a model that might take advantage of a 400-kw connector might top out higher than the Lucid Air, which reaches a max just over 300 kw, and the GMC Hummer EV with the largest dual-layer pack, which can at times pull the full power from a 350-kw connector.
Such a model tapping the potential of a 400-kw connector might not be coming until 2025 or 2026, but when it does, then Porsche looks prepared with the infrastructure.
The Taycan is already approaching its intended gas-station refueling times—if the infrastructure’s there. With some carefully planned charging stops, one crossed the U.S. last year at real-world highway speeds with just 2.5 hours of charging.
As for those lounges, Porsche aims to place them close to “busy routes with significant traffic flow,” make them open 24/7, barrier-free, and part of the Ionity network, and provide centralized billing and a very comfortable environment. If the images provided, showing woodgrain finishes, bright interiors, workout areas, and rooftop solar cells are any indication, it looks like a very pleasant environment compared to the edge of the Walmart parking lot or strip-mall access road.
Although Porsche has no plans to build these charging oases in the U.S. as of yet, fellow VW Group entity Electrify America offers 350-kw connectors at many of its 809 U.S. fast-charging locations. And the national fast-charging network set to be bankrolled by seven automakers, announced earlier this week, with 350-kw connectors as a baseline, will help support these even-faster-charging EVs.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Signs that inflation pressures in the United States are steadily easing emerged Friday in reports that consumer prices rose in June at their slowest pace in more than two years and that wage growth cooled last quarter.
Together, the figures provided the latest signs that the Federal Reserve’s drive to tame inflation may succeed without triggering a recession, an outcome known as a “soft landing.”
A price gauge closely monitored by the Fed rose just 3% in June from a year earlier. That was down from a 3.8% annual increase in May, though still above the Fed’s 2% inflation target. On a monthly basis, prices rose 0.2% from May to June, up slightly from 0.1% the previous month.
Last month’s sharp slowdown in year-over-year inflation largely reflected falling gas prices, as well as milder increases in grocery costs. With supply chains having largely healed from post-pandemic disruptions, the costs of new and used cars, furniture and appliances also fell in June.
The cost of some services, though, continued to surge. Average prices of movie tickets rose 0.5% from May to June, and are up 6.2% from a year earlier. Veterinary services, up 0.5% last month, are 10.5% higher than a year ago. And restaurant meal prices increased 0.4% in June; they’re up 7.1% from 12 months earlier.
A measure of “core” prices, which excludes volatile food and energy costs, did remain elevated even though it also eased last month. Economists track core prices because they are considered a better signal of where inflation is headed. Those still-high underlying inflation pressures are a key reason why the Fed raised its short-term interest rate Wednesday to a 22-year high.
Core prices were still 4.1% higher than they were a year ago, well above the Fed’s target, though down from 4.6% in May. From May to June, core inflation was just 0.2%, down from 0.3% the previous month, an encouraging sign.
A separate report Friday from the Labor Department showed that a gauge of wages and salaries grew more slowly in the April-June quarter, suggesting that employers were feeling less pressure to boost pay as the job market cools.
Employee pay, excluding government workers, rose 1%, down from 1.2% in the first three months of 2023. Compared with a year earlier, wages and salaries grew 4.6%, down from 5.1% in the first quarter.
The Fed is closely watching the pay gauge, known as the employment cost index. Smaller wage increases should slow inflation over time, because companies are less likely to need to raise prices to cover their higher labor costs.
Taken together, Friday’s data “will provide further support to the view that the economy is in the midst of a soft landing,” said Kathy Bostjancic, chief economist at Nationwide. The softer wage data, she suggested, “will be welcomed by Fed officials.”
Americans’ average paychecks are still growing briskly, boosting their ability to spend and underscoring the economy’s resiliency. The inflation report that the Commerce Department issued Friday showed that consumer spending jumped in June, despite two years of high inflation and 11 Fed rate hikes over 17 months. From May to June, consumer spending rose 0.5%, up from 0.2% the previous month.
“Better push out those recession forecasts by another quarter,” Stephen Stanley, chief U.S. economist at investment bank Santander, wrote in a research note.
The inflation gauge that was issued Friday, called the personal consumption expenditures price index, is separate from the better-known consumer price index. Earlier this month, the government reported that the CPI rose 3% in June from 12 months earlier.
The Fed prefers the PCE index because it accounts for changes in how people shop when inflation jumps — when, for example, consumers shift away from pricey national brands in favor of cheaper store brands. And housing costs, which are among the biggest inflation drivers but many economists think aren’t well-measured, carry about half the weight in the PCE than the CPI.
With inflation now steadily cooling, consumers are becoming more optimistic about the economy, a trend that could lead them to keep spending and driving growth.
On Friday, the University of Michigan reported that its consumer sentiment index rose in June to its highest level since October 2021, though it has still recovered only about half of the drop caused by the pandemic. And earlier this week, the Conference Board, a business research group, said its consumer confidence index rose this month to its highest point in two years.
The U.S. economy is in a hopeful but precarious place: A solid job market is bolstering hiring, lifting wages and keeping unemployment near a half-century low. Yet inflation is weakening rather than rising, as it typically does when unemployment is low. That suggests that the Fed may be able to achieve a soft landing.
The Fed’s policymakers, though, are concerned that the steadily growing economy could help perpetuate inflation. This can occur as persistent consumer demand enables more companies to raise prices, thereby keeping inflation above the Fed’s target and potentially causing the central bank to raise rates even higher.
The latest evidence of the economy’s resilience came Thursday, when the government reported that it grew at a 2.4% annual rate in the April-June quarter — faster than analysts had forecast and an acceleration from a 2% growth rate in the first three months of the year.
At a news conference Wednesday, Chair Jerome Powell suggested that the Fed’s benchmark short-term rate, now at about 5.3%, was high enough to restrain the overall economy and likely tame inflation over time. But Powell added that the Fed would need to see more evidence that inflation has been sustainably subdued before it would consider ending its rate hikes.
Powell declined to offer any signal of the central bank’s likely next moves. In June, Fed officials had forecast two more rate hikes this year, including Wednesday’s.
“I would say it is certainly possible that we would raise (rates) again at the September meeting, if the data warranted,” Powell said Wednesday, “and I would also say it’s possible that we would choose to hold steady at that meeting.” | https://www.cenlanow.com/business/ap-an-inflation-gauge-that-is-closely-tracked-by-the-fed-falls-to-its-lowest-level-in-more-than-2-years/ | 2023-07-29T08:31:45 | 1 | https://www.cenlanow.com/business/ap-an-inflation-gauge-that-is-closely-tracked-by-the-fed-falls-to-its-lowest-level-in-more-than-2-years/ |

Tesla is ramping up efforts to open showrooms on tribal lands where it can sell directly to consumers, circumventing laws in states that bar vehicle manufacturers from also being retailers in favor of the dealership model.
Mohegan Sun, a casino and entertainment complex in Connecticut owned by the federally recognized Mohegan Tribe, announced this week that the California-based electric automaker will open a showroom with a sales and delivery center this fall on its sovereign property where the state’s law doesn’t apply.
The news comes after another new Tesla showroom was announced in June, set to open in 2025 on lands of the Oneida Indian Nation in upstate New York.
“I think it was a move that made complete sense,” said Lori Brown, executive director of the Connecticut League of Conservation Voters, which has lobbied for years to change Connecticut’s law.
“It is just surprising that it took this long, because Tesla had really tried, along with Lucid and Rivian,” she said, referring to two other electric carmakers. “Anything that puts more electric vehicles on the road is a good thing for the public.”
Brown noted that lawmakers with car dealerships that are active in their districts, no matter their political affiliation, have traditionally opposed bills allowing direct-to-consumer sales.
The Connecticut Automotive Retail Association, which has opposed such bills for years, says there needs to be a balance between respecting tribal sovereignty and “maintaining a level playing field” for all car dealerships in the state.
“We respect the Mohegan Tribe’s sovereignty and the unique circumstance in which they operate their businesses on Tribal land but we strongly believe that this does not change the discussion about Tesla and other EV manufacturers with direct-to-consumer sales, and we continue to oppose that model,” Hayden Reynolds, the association’s chairperson, said in a statement. “Connecticut’s dealer franchise laws benefit consumers and provide a competitive marketplace.”
Over the years in numerous states, Tesla has sought and been denied dealership licenses, pushed for law changes and challenged decisions in courts. The company scored a victory earlier this year when Delaware’s Supreme Court overturned a ruling upholding a decision by state officials to prohibit Tesla from selling its cars to directly customers.
At least 16 states have effectively changed their laws to allow Tesla and other direct-to-consumer manufacturers to sell there, said Jeff Aiosa, executive director of the Connecticut dealers association. He doesn’t foresee Connecticut changing its law, noting that 32 “original equipment manufacturers,” a list that includes major car companies like Toyota and Ford, currently abide by it.
“It’s not fair to have an unlevel playing field when all the other manufacturers abide by the state franchise laws and Tesla wants this exception to go around the law,” he said. “I would suggest their pivoting to the sovereign nation is representative of them not wanting to abide by the law.”
Tesla opened its first store as well as a repair shop on Native American land in 2021 in New Mexico. The facility, built in Nambé Pueblo, north of Santa Fe, marked the first time the company partnered with a tribe to get around state laws, though the idea had been in the works for years.
Brian Dear, president of the Tesla Owners Club of New Mexico, predicted at the time that states that are home to tribal nations and also have laws banning direct car sales by manufacturers would likely follow New Mexico’s lead.
“I don’t believe at all that this will be the last,” he said.
Tesla’s facility at Mohegan Sun, dubbed the Tesla Sales & Delivery Center, will be located at a shopping and dining pavilion within the sprawling casino complex. Customers will be able to test drive models around the resort. and gamblers will be able to use their loyalty rewards toward Tesla purchases.
Tesla also plans to exhibit its solar and storage products at the location. | https://www.cenlanow.com/business/ap-automaker-tesla-is-opening-more-showrooms-on-tribal-lands-to-avoid-state-laws-barring-direct-sales/ | 2023-07-29T08:31:52 | 0 | https://www.cenlanow.com/business/ap-automaker-tesla-is-opening-more-showrooms-on-tribal-lands-to-avoid-state-laws-barring-direct-sales/ |

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Europe’s banking sector could withstand a severe economic downturn without depleting their financial buffers against losses, the European Central Bank said Friday.
A survey of 98 large and medium-sized banks done by the ECB’s supervisory arm in conjunction with the European Banking Authority showed that even in the most adverse scenario — a fall of almost 10% in economic outpoint over three years — banks would still have enough capital to cover losses and then some.
The stress test was not a pass-fail exercise for banks in the 20 countries that use the euro currency. Rather, results for individual banks will be used by banking regulators in determining how much capital they need to hold in reserve.
Banks are crucial to the European economy because companies get most of their financing from them, instead of from financial markets — the opposite of the situation in the U.S.
The ECB took over supervision of the biggest banks after the eurozone debt crisis more than a decade ago, when bank losses led to heavy bailout costs for governments. National supervisors were perceived to have been less than vigilant on developing risks.
Scrutiny of bank finances has grown after the failure of three U.S. banks amid rising interest rates that led to losses on investments and mass withdrawal of deposits. The financial turmoil then hit Credit Suisse, a globally significant bank that had long-running problems, leading the Swiss government to engineer an emergency takeover by rival UBS to prevent further banking chaos.
Switzerland is not part of the European Union, where some of the safeguards instituted after the 2008-2009 global financial crisis were more widely applied. | https://www.cenlanow.com/business/ap-europes-banks-could-survive-a-drastic-economic-downturn-stress-test-shows/ | 2023-07-29T08:31:58 | 1 | https://www.cenlanow.com/business/ap-europes-banks-could-survive-a-drastic-economic-downturn-stress-test-shows/ |
WASHINGTON — Yellow, the beleaguered trucking company that received a $700 million pandemic loan from the federal government, notified staff Friday that it is shutting down and laying off employees at all of its locations.
The move comes before an expected bankruptcy filing by Yellow in the coming days. The closure of the company would mean the loss of approximately 30,000 jobs and mark the end of a business that just three years ago was deemed so critical to the nation’s supply chains that it warranted a federal bailout.
“The company is shutting down its regular operations on July 28, 2023, closing and/or laying off employees at all of its locations, including yours,” the company said in a memo to staff that was reviewed by The New York Times.
Yellow has been locked in protracted labor negotiations with International Brotherhood of Teamsters over a new contract that the company has said is essential to its ability to move forward with a restructuring plan.
As of the end of March, Yellow’s outstanding debt was $1.5 billion, including about $730 million that is owed to the federal government. Yellow has paid approximately $66 million in interest on the loan, but it has repaid just $230 of the principal owed on the loan, which comes due next year.
Yellow is one of the largest freight trucking companies in the United States, and its downfall could have a ripple effect across the nation’s supply chain. Its impending bankruptcy comes days after UPS reached an agreement with the union representing more than 325,000 of its U.S. workers, averting a strike.
Yellow’s management and union negotiators have been trying to reach an agreement over wages and other benefits but failed to clinch a deal.
The fate of Yellow’s assets is not yet clear. In 2020, the Trump administration, which had ties to the company and its executives, agreed to give the firm a pandemic relief loan in exchange for the federal government assuming a 30% equity stake in the company.
Yellow said last month that it sought the assistance of the Biden administration in brokering a deal with the union. The White House had no comment this week on the situation.
A company official said Thursday that Yellow was preparing for “a range of contingencies” but that talks with the union were continuing. On Friday, a spokesperson for the company declined to comment on the firm’s future.
The Teamsters on Friday warned in a letter to local unions representing Yellow workers that the likelihood of the company’s survival was “increasingly bleak.”
“We recommend that all Yellow employees who have personal belongings and tools at the terminals should take them home today,” wrote John Murphy, co-chair of the Teamsters freight industry negotiating committee.
As Yellow’s bankruptcy became more likely this week, shippers were diverting freight away from its network and its stock price plunged.
Analysts at the financial services firm Stephens estimated that the company could be burning through as much as $10 million in cash per day. In a note to clients, the analysts said that the lost business and the threat of a strike had left the trucking company “mortally wounded” and that the firm could reach the “end of the road.”
Financial woes at Yellow, which previously went by the name YRC Worldwide, have been building for years.
In July 2020, the Treasury Department announced it was giving a $700 million loan to the trucking company, helping it to stay afloat. But the loan immediately raised questions, in part because the firm was struggling financially and was being sued by the Justice Department over claims that it had defrauded the federal government for a seven-year period. The company ultimately agreed to pay $6.85 million to resolve those allegations. | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/after-700-million-u-s-bailout-trucking-firm-yellow-is-shutting-down/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world | 2023-07-29T08:31:59 | 1 | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/after-700-million-u-s-bailout-trucking-firm-yellow-is-shutting-down/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world |
Man pleads guilty to vehicular homicide in death of Black Lives Matter protester
SEATTLE (AP) — A man who hit two protesters with his car, killing one of them, during a Black Lives Matter demonstration in 2020 in Seattle has pleaded guilty to multiple felonies.
Dawit Kelete, 30, pleaded guilty on Thursday to vehicular homicide in the death of 24-year-old Summer Taylor, The Seattle Times reported. He also pleaded guilty to vehicular assault and reckless driving charges. Attorneys as part of the plea deal have agreed to recommend a sentence of more than six years in prison and 18 months of probation. Kelete is set to be sentenced in September.
On July 4, 2020, the Washington State Patrol said Kelete drove the wrong way onto Interstate 5, around a barricade of parked vehicles, and struck Taylor and Diaz Love.
Taylor later died and Love was hospitalized with multiple injuries.
Kelete was arrested shortly afterward and told police he was withdrawing from the narcotic pain medication Percocet and struggled with an “untreated addiction,” court documents said.
Francisco Duarte, Kelete’s attorney, said Kelete asked about the victims from the beginning and has shown remorse. Duarte also claimed authorities were negligent and failed to protect the public and protesters.
An attorney for Taylor’s family, Karen Koehler, on Thursday lamented the years it’s taken for the case to move through the court system, and said the family is focused on remembering Taylor, KING-TV reported.
“While it was a relief to know they wouldn’t have to go to court, there’s a lot of very sad, grieving people still,” Koehler said. “They are... resigned, that this is the best that can be done.”
Love, who suffered a traumatic brain injury, fractures, lacerations, and other physical wounds, is suing the state, city and Kelete. A trial date has been scheduled for next February.
The lawsuit says Kelete was driving negligently and that state and city agencies failed to block all access ramps to I-5 and refused to protect vulnerable protesters. The State Patrol had closed the freeway during the demonstration, which was part of a run of nightly protests over the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police.
Family described Taylor as someone who was dedicated to justice. She had been demonstrating and rallying in support of Black Lives Matter nearly every day of the protests.

MILAN (AP) — French luxury conglomerate Kering has reached a cash deal to purchase a 30% stake in Italian fashion house Valentino for 1.7 billion euros from a Qatari investment firm.
With the purchase, Kering is seeking to shore up its revenue stream as it struggles to turn around former powerhouse Gucci. Kering on Thursday reported first-half revenues of 10.1 billion euros, up 2%, as Gucci sales stagnate.
Under the deal announced Thursday, Kering has the option to buy 100% of Valentino no later than 2028. The partnership could lead to the Qatari investment firm, Mayhoola, becoming a shareholder in Kering, as well as other potential “joint opportunities,” the statement said.
Kering Chairman and CEO Francois-Henri Pinault expressed admiration for “the evolution of Valentino under Mayhoola ownership,” which Kering said turned Valentino “into one of the most admired luxury houses in the world.”
“I am very pleased of this first step in our collaboration with Mayhoola to develop Valentino and pursue the very strong strategic journey of brand elevation,’’ citing the role of Valentino CEO Jacopo Venturini, who “will continue to lead.”
Gucci, which accounts for nearly half of Kering revenues, is in the throes of a relaunch, with a new management team and a new creative director, Sabato De Sarn o, who will unveil his first collection during Milan Fashion Week in September.
Valentino, founded by Valentino Garavani in 1960, recorded revenues of 1.4 billion euros in 2022. Pierpaolo Piccoli has been creative director at Valentino since 2008, working alongside Maria Grazia Chiuri from 2008-16. With its corporate base in Milan and design studio in Rome, the fashion house is a mainstay of Paris fashion week with its womenswear and couture collections while recently returning menswear to Milan. | https://www.cenlanow.com/business/ap-french-luxury-group-kering-to-buy-30-stake-in-valentino-for-1-7-billion-euros-cash/ | 2023-07-29T08:32:05 | 1 | https://www.cenlanow.com/business/ap-french-luxury-group-kering-to-buy-30-stake-in-valentino-for-1-7-billion-euros-cash/ |
AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) — New Zealand striker Hannah Wilkinson has helped create two milestones at the Women’s World Cup.
With her 48th-minute goal in the tournament opener against Norway, she led the co-host Football Ferns to their first win in six trips to the Women’s World Cup. She’s also one of at least 95 out members of the LGBTQ+ community competing in this year’s tournament, according to a count being kept by Outsports, a website that covers the LGBTQ+ sports.
The Ferns were greeted with a fan-made sign at their next match in Wellington: “Gay for soccer, gay for Wilkie,” it read.
The 95 out participants make up roughly 13% of the 736 total players at the Women’s World Cup, more than doubling the 40 players and coaches Outsports counted in 2019.
The 2023 tournament also is hosting the first openly trans and non-binary player in either a men’s or Women’s World Cup, Quinn of Canada.
“Last World Cup was so big, especially with the visibility of the U.S. women’s national team winning and (Megan Rapinoe) fighting with (Donald) Trump. So I think that was a huge year for LGBTQ+ visibility,” said Lindsey Freeman, a professor of sociology and anthropology at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia.
“It’s just the ad hoc, fun culture of women’s soccer that you’re seeing in this World Cup,” said Freeman, who is in New Zealand conducting research on the topic.
Jim Buzinski, co-founder of Outsports, agreed. “In the Western world, it’s such a non-issue that it really just doesn’t get talked about,” he said. “And I think that’s in a good way.”
VISIBILITY
Prior to the start of the tournament, FIFA designated eight socially conscious armbands team captains could wear throughout the Women’s World Cup. The decision came after “One Love” armbands were denied to men’s teams in Qatar in 2022.
The armbands being used this year include anti-discriminatory sayings and multiple colors, but the rainbow version Germany wanted to use is not allowed. None of the available options explicitly mention LGBTQ+ rights.
The decision has led many players to express their support in more creative ways across Australia and New Zealand.
New Zealand midfielder Ali Riley was interviewed on the official Women’s World Cup broadcast after her team’s upset of Norway. Her painted fingernails, left hand in the colors of the pride flag and right hand as the trans flag, were clearly visible as she held her head and fought back tears.
“She’s such an advocate and she’s definitely someone who uses her platform in such a positive way. We are all so proud of her and the way she represents the LGBTQ+ community,” teammate CJ Bott said. “Good on her. We’re all backing her, and we all back the community as well.”
The Philippines, making its Women’s World Cup debut, took home its own historic win over New Zealand 1-0 thanks to the foot of Sarina Bolden. Bolden’s Instagram bio reads, “i just wanna have fun n b gay.”
Irish star Katie McCabe wowed fans with a goal directly from a corner kick. She’s also made tabloid news for her relationships with other players.
Thembi Kgatlana, who has scored in the tournament for South Africa, has a patch of her hair dyed rainbow colors.
“My personality is very big for me, and my hair has become a part of my personality,” Kgatlana said. “And I did this rainbow because I want to represent all the people that are part of the LGBTQ and cannot talk while in countries where they’re oppressed.”
FAN EXPERIENCE
Kristen Pariseau and her wife started a U.S. women’s national team supporters group on Facebook ahead of traveling to this year’s Women’s World Cup. Aside from some hateful users she blocked, it’s been “super LGBT friendly.”
She and her wife did not go to Qatar for the 2022 men’s World Cup to avoid referencing each other as friends and receiving questions on their sexuality. In New Zealand, she said she’s met many same-sex couples at games and while traveling around the country.
“Everywhere you turn, it’s like, ‘Oh, my wife, my girlfriend.’ It’s been so welcoming and open,” Pariseau said. “In a way, it is kind of cool to be where there’s a lot of other people like you.”
Kelsie Bozart took her own pride flag armband to the United States’ second match in Wellington, along with a pride scarf.
“If you look back a couple years, I feel like it just wasn’t really talked about or there just wasn’t much of a presence,” Bozart said. “But moving forward I feel like, especially for the U.S., they’ve done an amazing job of just incorporating pride and LGBTQ.”
NOT UNIVERSAL
Though this year’s tournament has highlighted vast gains for the LGBTQ+ community in women’s soccer, advocates feel there is still work to be done.
According to Buzinski and Outsports, there were at least 186 LGBTQ+ athletes at the Tokyo Olympics. Women outnumbered men by a 9:1 ratio. There also were no confirmed out players at the 2022 men’s World Cup.
“I think women’s sports have always been open,” Denmark striker Pernille Harder said, adding that there are many role models for women who want to come out.
Freeman said it would be good to see men feel the same level of comfort.
“What can happen in the women’s game, I would love to spill over to the men’s game,” she said. “Because obviously, there’s way more queer players in the men’s game and it’s just not safe for them to come out.
“If you want to say that you’re in an inclusive space, you really have to be an inclusive space,” Freeman added. “And I think that that includes also holding the World Cup in places where it’s fine to be a queer person.”

Sports fans continue to seek a dynamic viewing experience whenever they decide to tune into a live sporting event. The advancements in technology have only raised expectations.
Creative uses of graphics, on-demand game data and video replays and highlights are just some of the ways a broadcast can keep fans engaged.
The World Cup is one of the most anticipated sporting events on earth, and this year's women's edition of the soccer tournament is no exception.
Fox Sports, a unit of FOX Corp., parent to Fox News and FOX Business, proactively tackled the trend of enhancing sports fans' viewing experiences by building and deploying an innovative AI-powered feature called "Catch Up With Highlights."
WHAT IS A.I.?
The "Catch Up With Highlights" feature, which autonomously generates recap videos and game highlights in real time, initially launched last year for the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
FOX teamed up with Amazon Web Services (AWS) for the AI-powered replay feature. Julie Souza, head of sports, global professional services, at AWS, said the amount of data available in modern sports presents several exciting and unique opportunities for fans and professional sports leagues.
"Now you have all this data in sports, whether its optical tracking through camera capture or sensors, or [players] are wearing chips in their pads … and you're getting this granular level of data now that lets you do really cool stuff and apply AI and ML (machine learning) to get insights out of it to help you if you're a [sports] league do officiating analysis, rule development or develop new analytics," Souza told Fox News Digital.
CHATGPT AI CHATBOT AVAILABLE ON ANDROID IN US, OTHER COUNTRIES
The "Catch Up With Highlights" feature is available for fans in the U.S. via the Fox Sports App. New Zealand and Australia are serving as the host countries for this year's Women's World Cup. The U.S. women's national team is the reigning back-to-back champion, but the difference in time zones could present a challenge to fans in the U.S. who want to watch games live.
"Catch Up With Highlights" seeks to solve that problem by providing viewers with an easy tool that shows key plays they may have missed should they tune into after kickoff.
Phil Martin, FOX’s vice president of data products and machine learning strategy, helped spearhead the "Catch Up With Highlights" development. He said the innovative feature was created with sports fans in mind.
"Over the last five years, our team has had tremendous success with unlocking the power of data through the building of advanced and intelligent platforms and products. In addition, we’ve really rallied around the idea of revolutionizing fandom. We believe that sports should be enjoyable and accessible for everyone, which is why we've designed our platform to make it easy to engage with and enjoy," Martin said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
Audio cues and camera angles in games are used to teach a computer which elements should be featured in a video recap. The technology utilizes services from AWS, including Amazon Rekognition.
"This is leveraging computer vision and a lot of other services from AWS to help us develop what they did for the World Cup, which is called ‘Catch Up With Highlights,'" Souza said.
"It's allowing our systems like Rekognition and some of these other tools to identify plays that are happening that are significant in the game and use that data to help cut clips so that you can have almost a condensed game showing up, accumulating in real time. So, if somebody joins a broadcast halfway through … we can go back and isolate those clips and create an ‘up til now’ highlight of the game."
The next step involved the auto assembly of clips with elements such as transitions and a fade to black. The video content then becomes available to fans via the FOX Sports app and connected TVs/mobile devices.
The partnership between FOX and AWS resulted in cutting-edge AI-based technology that helps fans stay up to date with the game action.
MLS TEAMS UP WITH AI.IO FOR AISCOUT APP LAUNCH, AIMS TO REVOLUTIONIZE PLAYER SCOUTING
"We understand that the level of play at events like the World Cup is exceptional, and we wanted our feature to reflect that standard," Martin noted. "To achieve this, we developed a cutting-edge AI technology to create a highlights engine that can dynamically retell the game's story in real time, highlighting key moments and events as they unfold. This ensures that our users can stay up to date with the action and experience the excitement of the game, no matter where they are."
All the technology involved in "Catch Up With Highlights" works in unison in an automated fashion.
"We were able to create a highlight engine which pairs with the data feed and then leverages machine learning, specfically computer vision and some audio detection models which synchronizes the events that happen on the field," FOX's Data Products Director Edward Ciafardini told Fox News Digital.
In addition to Amazon Rekognition, "Catch Up With Highlights" incorporates several AWS services, including but not limited to Amazon DynamoDB, which is where the sports data is housed. Live video is delivered to fans via AWS Elemental MediaConnect, and videos are stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service — Amazon S3.

"We developed this for the 2022 Men's World Cup and have since rolled this out for other sports, including USFL and MLB. So if you were to join any FOX broadcast on the Fox Sports app or (FoxSports.com) you would be prompted with 'Do you want to join the game live?’ or ‘Do you want to Catch Up With Highlights?’" Ciafardini said.
FOX also plans to bring the feature to football broadcasts later this year. | https://www.foxbangor.com/sports/national-sports/aws-ai-powered-video-highlights-feature-introduces-game-changing-world-cup-viewing-experience-for-fans/article_49ddb01e-8e22-5eff-80bb-ad4a7973a077.html | 2023-07-29T08:32:08 | 1 | https://www.foxbangor.com/sports/national-sports/aws-ai-powered-video-highlights-feature-introduces-game-changing-world-cup-viewing-experience-for-fans/article_49ddb01e-8e22-5eff-80bb-ad4a7973a077.html |
Largest commercial communications satellite ever built will more than double the capacity of the Hughes JUPITER fleet
GERMANTOWN, Md., July 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Hughes Network Systems, an EchoStar (Nasdaq: SATS) company, today announced its JUPITER™ 3 ultra high-density satellite has successfully launched on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from historic Kennedy Space Center Launch Pad 39A in Florida.

TOKYO (AP) — An official in charge of the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant says the upcoming release of treated radioactive water into the sea more than 12 years after the reactors’ meltdown marks “a milestone,” but is still only an initial step in a daunting decades-long decommissioning process.
Junichi Matsumoto, the corporate officer in charge of treated water management for Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, which operates the Fukushima Daiichi plant, also pledged to conduct careful sampling and analysis of the water to make sure its release is safely carried out in accordance with International Atomic Energy Agency standards.
The water is being treated with what’s called an Advanced Liquid Processing System, which can reduce the amounts of more than 60 selected radionuclides to government-set releasable levels, except for tritium, which the government and TEPCO say is safe for humans if consumed in small amounts.
“The release of the ALPS-treated water into the sea is a major milestone for us, as well as for the decommissioning of the plant,” Matsumoto said in an interview with The Associated Press at TEPCO headquarters in Tokyo.
“In order to steadily advance decommissioning, the ever-growing amounts of water was a pressing issue that we could not put off, and we had a sense of crisis,” said Matsumoto, a nuclear engineering expert. “We still have to tackle far more challenging and higher-risk operations such as removal of melted debris and spent fuel” from the damaged reactors, he said.
Another task for TEPCO is combatting the damage to the reputation of Fukushima fisheries caused by the water release, he said.
A massive March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami destroyed the Fukushima Daiichi plant’s cooling systems, causing three reactors to melt and contaminating their cooling water, which has since leaked continuously. The water is collected, filtered and stored in around 1,000 tanks, which will reach their capacity in early 2024.
Large amounts of fatally radioactive melted nuclear fuel remain inside the reactors. Robotic probes have provided some information about its status, but it remains largely unknown.
The government and TEPCO say the water must be removed to make room for the plant’s decommissioning, and to prevent accidental leaks from the tanks because much of the water is still contaminated and needs retreatment.
The release plan has faced strong opposition from Japanese fishing organizations, which worry about further damage to the reputation of their seafood as they struggle to recover from the accident. Groups in South Korea and China have also raised concerns, turning it into a political and diplomatic issue.
Matsumoto said the key to gaining understanding is to patiently explain the situation by providing scientific evidence.
“It is difficult, but we hope to make it as easy to understand as possible,” he said. “If we describe (the water release) in one word, it’s safe.”
“As the operator responsible for the accident, we must admit TEPCO is a company that is not fully trusted. We must keep up the effort and sincerely respond to any concern,” Matsumoto said. “It is our responsibility to demonstrate we can carry out the water release as planned, and that’s how we can regain public trust.”
The government said the release is set to start this summer but hasn’t set the date amid protests. TEPCO has obtained safety permits for all of the equipment needed for the release and is currently carrying out training so the water release team can begin work at any time, Matsumoto said.
“It’s not like just turning a faucet to run tap water,” he said.
Scientists generally agree that the environmental impact of the treated wastewater would be negligible, but some call for more attention to dozens of low-dose radionuclides that remain in it, saying data on their long-term effects on the environment and marine life are insufficient and the water requires close scrutiny.
The treated water will be diluted with massive amounts of seawater and will be released gradually over many years.
Matsumoto acknowledged that treated water that came in contact with the damaged nuclear fuel contains radionuclides such as uranium and plutonium that are not in water that is routinely released from healthy nuclear plants around the world.
He said the total concentration of radionuclides in the water meets government standards after treatment, and after dilution the wastewater will be fully safe and have a minimal environmental impact, according to the IAEA, which has provided assistance in evaluating the release plan.
Matsumoto said he has struggled to manage the massive amounts of contaminated water to keep it from escaping into the environment and safely stored at the plant since the accident.
There were instances in which plant workers had no other choice but to dump some into the sea or temporarily put it inside a basement or in temporary water tanks, Matsumoto recalled.
Now, after taking measures to minimize the seeping of rainwater and groundwater into the reactor buildings and establishing a stable water management system, the amount of contaminated water has come down to less than one-fifth of what it used to be, he said. | https://www.cenlanow.com/business/ap-fukushima-plant-official-says-the-coming-release-of-treated-water-a-milestone-for-decommissioning/ | 2023-07-29T08:32:11 | 0 | https://www.cenlanow.com/business/ap-fukushima-plant-official-says-the-coming-release-of-treated-water-a-milestone-for-decommissioning/ |

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — The German economy is still failing to grow, figures showed Friday, as the country that should be the industrial powerhouse for all of Europe struggles with high energy prices, rising borrowing costs and a lagging rebound from key trading partner China.
Economic output in Germany stagnated in the April-to-June quarter, the Federal Statistics Office said. That follows a decline of 0.1% in the first three months of the year and a drop of 0.4% in the last three months of 2022 as the energy shock from Russia’s war in Ukraine echoed through Europe’s largest economy.
It comes after the International Monetary Fund forecast this week that Germany would be the globe’s only major economy to shrink this year, even with weak economic growth around the world amid rising interest rates and the threat of growing inflation.
In Germany, the economy has been buffeted by several challenges. Above all, its long-term dependence on Russian natural gas to fuel industry backfired when the invasion of Ukraine led to the loss of most of Moscow’s supply and to higher costs for energy-intensive industries such as metals, glass, cars and fertilizer.
Higher interest rates from the European Central Bank have weighed on construction projects that depend on borrowing. Meanwhile, the rebound in China, Germany’s largest trade partner, after the end of drastic COVID-19 restrictions has been less than many had hoped for.
The second-quarter economic performance was “far from satisfactory,” said Vice Chancellor and Economy Minister Robert Habeck.
He urged action on his proposal to cap energy prices for industry with government help, which has run into skepticism in parts of the governing coalition, and more investment in future-oriented technology such as renewable energy.
“What Germany needs is a targeted impulse for investment and breathing room for our energy-intensive industry,” he said.
Longer-term factors such as an aging population, lagging use of digital technology in business and government, excessive red tape that holds back business launches and public construction projects, and a shortage of skilled labor also have weighed on the economy.
Yet the slowdown does not resemble a classic recession because jobs are abundant, with companies competing for workers and complaining of skills shortages. The unemployment rate was only 2.9% in May, well below the eurozone’s 6.5% — one of the lowest rates on record.
Carsten Brzeski, chief eurozone economist at ING, has described Germany’s situation as a “slowcession,” with the economy “stuck in the twilight zone between stagnation and recession.”
He said Friday that recent data “do not bode well for economic activity in the coming months.”
“In fact, weak purchasing power, thinned-out industrial order books, as well as the impact of the most aggressive monetary policy tightening in decades, and the expected slowdown of the U.S. economy, all argue in favor of weak economic activity,” Brzeski said in a note.
Germany’s woes are calling forth comparisons with the late 1990s, when high labor costs held back the country’s competitiveness. A series of labor market reforms under former Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder in 2003-2004 helped restore economic growth and Germany’s position as an export powerhouse selling industrial machinery and vehicles to the rest of the world.
Germany’s current account surplus of $290 billion, the broadest measure of foreign trade, was the highest in the world in 2019, according to the Bruegel think tank in Brussels. It remained above 7% of GDP for six straight years but fell to 4.2% last year. | https://www.cenlanow.com/business/ap-germany-used-to-be-the-worlds-export-powerhouse-now-its-not-growing-what-happened/ | 2023-07-29T08:32:18 | 0 | https://www.cenlanow.com/business/ap-germany-used-to-be-the-worlds-export-powerhouse-now-its-not-growing-what-happened/ |

NEW DELHI (AP) — India and Japan explored collaborating in critical technologies, including semiconductors and resilient supply chains, as part of plans to reach a target of $35.9 billion Japanese investment in the country by 2027, officials said on Friday.
Foreign Ministers of India and Japan, S. Jaishankar and Yoshimasa Hayashi, met in New Delhi on Thursday and also discussed ways to deepen defense equipment and technology cooperation. Hayashi is on a two-day visit to the Indian capital.
Russia’s war in Ukraine has disrupted the global supply of parts and raw materials needed to complete a variety of products – from cars to computer chips.
Hayashi and Jaishankar also emphasized the crucial role of a strong partnership between India and Japan in ensuring an open and prosperous Indo-Pacific region that is inclusive and rules-based, a statement by India’s External Affairs Ministry said.
They discussed cooperation under multilateral and plurilateral frameworks, including the Quad grouping that also includes the United States and Australia, the statement said. The grouping aims at countering the growing challenge posed by an aggressive China in the region.
Japan considers India an indispensable partner in achieving a free and open Indo-Pacific, Hayashi said at a meeting with business leaders from the two countries.
He said he has been encouraging Japanese companies to invest in 15 key sectors identified by India as eligible for subsidies. These include telecommunications equipment, automobiles, and applied chemical batteries.
“All of this has led to the remarkable growth in Japanese investment into crucial technologies such as medical equipment, electronics, and household electric appliances,” Hayashi said.
Jaishankar and Hayashi expressed satisfaction at the strengthening of defense and security cooperation between the two countries, including regular exercises and talks between all three services, the statement said.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ambitions to build a chipmaking industry suffered a potential setback earlier this month as electronics giant Foxconn backed out of a $19.5 billion semiconductor joint venture with Indian mining conglomerate Vedanta Ltd.
In February last year, the two companies announced their joint venture to manufacture chips and display panels in India.
India has made building a chipmaking sector a national priority as part of a self-reliance policy to secure stable supplies. It is offering financial incentives of up to 50% of project costs under a $10 billion plan for semiconductor and display manufacturing projects.
India and Japan share strong economic ties. Trade between the two was worth $20.57 billion in fiscal year 2021-2022. | https://www.cenlanow.com/business/ap-india-and-japan-look-to-collaborate-in-building-semiconductors-and-resilient-supply-chains/ | 2023-07-29T08:32:25 | 0 | https://www.cenlanow.com/business/ap-india-and-japan-look-to-collaborate-in-building-semiconductors-and-resilient-supply-chains/ |
