- ACIP recommends adults 65 years of age and older receive an enhanced flu vaccine, such as FLUAD® QUADRIVALENT (Influenza Vaccine, Adjuvanted), to help protect against four strains of seasonal influenza annually
- The committee reviewed randomized studies and real-world data spanning multiple seasons and numerous flu-related outcomes in support of FLUAD QUADRIVALENT to inform their recommendation
SUMMIT, N.J., June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Seqirus, a global leader in influenza prevention and a business of CSL Limited (ASX:CSL), today announced that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has included FLUAD® QUADRIVALENT as a preferentially recommended seasonal influenza vaccine for adults 65 years of age and older. The preferential recommendation for FLUAD QUADRIVALENT for all adults 65 years and older is based on the clinical benefits compared to standard egg-based influenza vaccines, as demonstrated within the total body of evidence.1
"It is critical that we do everything we can to protect vulnerable populations like older adults against influenza," said Gregg Sylvester, MD, Chief Health Officer, Seqirus. "Today's recommendation is evidence of the ACIP's commitment to providing clear, evidence-backed guidance to protect public health. We are proud to offer one of the enhanced flu vaccines that was preferentially recommended by the ACIP for adults 65 years and above in the U.S."
Immunosenescence, the age-associated decline of the immune system, may result in a reduced immune response to antigens in the vaccine.2 FLUAD QUADRIVALENT is specifically created for adults 65 years and older using Seqirus' MF59® adjuvant, designed to help strengthen, broaden and lengthen the immune response to influenza vaccination.2,3,4,5 Approximately 80 percent of influenza-related deaths and 50 to 70 percent of influenza-related hospitalizations occur among adults 65 years and older, according to the CDC.6
FLUAD is proven to be safe and effective and has an extensive clinical legacy, with more than 225 million doses distributed and licensure in over 30 countries since it was first approved in 1997.7,8
More than 20 years of real-world evidence supports the clinical value of FLUAD in reducing influenza-related clinical outcomes in adults 65 years and older across different influenza seasons with different study designs, clinical outcomes, and study limitations.4 Seqirus will offer this enhanced seasonal vaccine option for pharmacy partners, healthcare providers and their patients during the upcoming 2022/23 Northern Hemisphere influenza season in the U.S. to better help protect this population from influenza and severe influenza-related outcomes.
"This preferential recommendation sends a clear message that FLUAD QUADRIVALENT is an important treatment option for people 65 years of age and older," said Dave Ross, Vice President, North America Commercial Operations, Seqirus. "A preferential recommendation for adults 65 and older helps to provide guidance to both healthcare providers and patients on the standard of care for this at-risk population."
Seqirus' differentiated portfolio of seasonal influenza vaccines for the U.S. also includes FLUCELVAX® QUADRIVALENT (Influenza Vaccine), the first and only cell-based quadrivalent influenza vaccine for people six months of age and older in the U.S.9 Cell-based influenza vaccines are designed to produce an exact match to the World Health Organization (WHO)-selected influenza virus strains by avoiding egg-adapted changes and therefore have the potential to lead to greater vaccine effectiveness.10
According to the ACIP, if one preferentially recommended influenza vaccine is not available to adults 65 years and older, then any other age-appropriate influenza vaccine should be used.2
About Seasonal Influenza
Influenza is a common, contagious seasonal respiratory disease that may cause severe illness and life-threatening complications in some people.12 Influenza can lead to clinical symptoms varying from mild to moderate respiratory illness to severe complications, hospitalization and in some cases, death.12 Because transmission of influenza viruses to others may occur one day before symptoms develop and up to 5 to 7 days after becoming sick, the disease can be easily transmitted to others.12 Estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that during the 2019/20 influenza season, there were an estimated 405,000 influenza-related hospitalizations in the U.S.13 The CDC recommends annual vaccination for individuals aged 6 months and older, who do not have any contraindications.14 Since it takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body that help protect against influenza virus infection, it is recommended that people get vaccinated before influenza begins spreading in their community.14 The CDC recommends that people get vaccinated by the end of October.14

AstraZeneca and Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, today announced that the results from the Phase 3 PROpel trial have been published in NEJM Evidence . Results from the trial showed that LYNPARZA in combination with abiraterone plus prednisone significantly improved radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) versus abiraterone plus prednisone, a standard of care, as first-line treatment for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with or without homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene mutations.
Globally, prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in patients assigned male at birth, with an estimated 1.4 million patients diagnosed worldwide in 2020. Approximately 10-20% of patients with advanced prostate cancer are estimated to develop CRPC within five years, and at least 84% of these patients may develop metastases at the time of CRPC diagnosis. Patients with advanced prostate cancer have a particularly poor prognosis, and the five-year survival rate remains low.
Dr. Noel Clarke, urological surgeon and professor of urological oncology at The Christie/Salford Royal Hospitals and University of Manchester, joint chief investigator of the PROpel trial and joint lead author of the NEJM Evidence manuscript, said, "It is critically important that we identify new first-line treatment options for patients with mCRPC. The data published in NEJM Evidence emphasize the therapeutic potential of combining olaparib with abiraterone and prednisone and demonstrate efficacy in a wider group of patients beyond those with documented DNA repair deficiency."
Cristian Massacesi, chief medical officer and oncology chief development officer, AstraZeneca, said, "These data demonstrate that the combination of LYNPARZA with abiraterone and prednisone afforded patients a median radiographic progression-free survival of over two years, regardless of biomarker status. If approved, the combination will offer patients with and without HRR gene mutations a new treatment option."
Dr. Eliav Barr, senior vice president and head of global clinical development, chief medical officer, Merck Research Laboratories, said, "Publication of the PROpel data in NEJM Evidence reflects the benefit seen with the combination of LYNPARZA plus abiraterone and prednisone in the first-line setting of mCRPC, and we are pleased that these data have been selected for one of the first issues of this new journal."
In September 2021, at a planned interim analysis, the independent Data Monitoring Committee concluded that the PROpel trial met its primary endpoint of rPFS. The results were presented in February 2022 at the 2022 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, and additional data on safety and tolerability as well as pharmacokinetics were presented at the 2022 ASCO Annual Meeting on June 6.
As previously reported, in the Phase 3 PROpel trial, LYNPARZA in combination with abiraterone plus prednisone (n=399) reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 34% (HR=0.66 [95% CI, 0.54-0.81]; p
LYNPARZA is approved in the U.S. for patients with HRR gene-mutated mCRPC ( BRCA -mutated and other HRR gene mutations) who have progressed following prior treatment with enzalutamide or abiraterone and in the European Union, Japan and China for patients with BRCA -mutated mCRPC who have progressed following prior therapy that included a new hormonal agent (NHA).
About PROpel
PROpel (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03732820 ) is a randomized, double-blind Phase 3 trial testing the efficacy, safety and tolerability of LYNPARZA versus placebo when given in addition to abiraterone and prednisone in patients with mCRPC who had not received prior chemotherapy or NHAs in the first-line setting. The primary endpoint is rPFS, and secondary endpoints include overall survival, time to disease progression or death, and time to first subsequent therapy.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CONTRAINDICATIONS
There are no contraindications for LYNPARZA.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Myelodysplastic Syndrome/Acute Myeloid Leukemia (MDS/AML): Occurred in approximately 1.5% of patients exposed to LYNPARZA monotherapy, and the majority of events had a fatal outcome. The median duration of therapy in patients who developed MDS/AML was 2 years (range: 10 years). All of these patients had previous chemotherapy with platinum agents and/or other DNA-damaging agents, including radiotherapy.
Do not start LYNPARZA until patients have recovered from hematological toxicity caused by previous chemotherapy (≤Grade 1). Monitor complete blood count for cytopenia at baseline and monthly thereafter for clinically significant changes during treatment. For prolonged hematological toxicities, interrupt LYNPARZA and monitor blood count weekly until recovery.
If the levels have not recovered to Grade 1 or less after 4 weeks, refer the patient to a hematologist for further investigations, including bone marrow analysis and blood sample for cytogenetics. Discontinue LYNPARZA if MDS/AML is confirmed.
Pneumonitis: Occurred in 0.8% of patients exposed to LYNPARZA monotherapy, and some cases were fatal. If patients present with new or worsening respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, cough, and fever, or a radiological abnormality occurs, interrupt LYNPARZA treatment and initiate prompt investigation. Discontinue LYNPARZA if pneumonitis is confirmed and treat patient appropriately.
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Based on its mechanism of action and findings in animals, LYNPARZA can cause fetal harm. A pregnancy test is recommended for females of reproductive potential prior to initiating treatment.
Females
Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception during treatment and for 6 months following the last dose.
Males
Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential or who are pregnant to use effective contraception during treatment and for 3 months following the last dose of LYNPARZA and to not donate sperm during this time.
Venous Thromboembolic Events: Including pulmonary embolism, occurred in 7% of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who received LYNPARZA plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) compared to 3.1% of patients receiving enzalutamide or abiraterone plus ADT in the PROfound study. Patients receiving LYNPARZA and ADT had a 6% incidence of pulmonary embolism compared to 0.8% of patients treated with ADT plus either enzalutamide or abiraterone. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, and treat as medically appropriate, which may include long-term anticoagulation as clinically indicated.

DRUG INTERACTIONS
Anticancer Agents: Clinical studies of LYNPARZA with other myelosuppressive anticancer agents, including DNA-damaging agents, indicate a potentiation and prolongation of myelosuppressive toxicity.
CYP3A Inhibitors: Avoid coadministration of strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors when using LYNPARZA. If a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor must be coadministered, reduce the dose of LYNPARZA. Advise patients to avoid grapefruit, grapefruit juice, Seville oranges, and Seville orange juice during LYNPARZA treatment.
CYP3A Inducers: Avoid coadministration of strong or moderate CYP3A inducers when using LYNPARZA.
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
Lactation: No data are available regarding the presence of olaparib in human milk, its effects on the breastfed infant or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed infant, advise a lactating woman not to breastfeed during treatment with LYNPARZA and for 1 month after receiving the final dose.
Pediatric Use: The safety and efficacy of LYNPARZA have not been established in pediatric patients.
Hepatic Impairment: No adjustment to the starting dose is required in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh classification A and B). There are no data in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh classification C).
Renal Impairment: No dosage modification is recommended in patients with mild renal impairment (CLcr 51-80 mL/min estimated by Cockcroft-Gault). In patients with moderate renal impairment (CLcr 31-50 mL/min), reduce the dose of LYNPARZA to 200 mg twice daily. There are no data in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (CLcr ≤30 mL/min).

About LYNPARZA ® (olaparib)
LYNPARZA is a first-in-class PARP inhibitor and the first targeted treatment to potentially exploit DNA damage response (DDR) pathway deficiencies, such as BRCA mutations, to preferentially kill cancer cells. Inhibition of PARP with LYNPARZA leads to the trapping of PARP bound to DNA single-strand breaks, stalling of replication forks, their collapse and the generation of DNA double-strand breaks and cancer cell death. LYNPARZA is being tested in a range of tumor types with defects and dependencies in the DDR.
LYNPARZA, which is being jointly developed and commercialized by AstraZeneca and Merck, has a broad and advanced clinical trial development program, and AstraZeneca and Merck are working together to understand how it may affect multiple PARP-dependent tumors as a monotherapy and in combination across multiple cancer types.
About metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men globally and is associated with a significant mortality rate. Development of prostate cancer is often driven by male sex hormones called androgens, including testosterone. In patients with mCRPC, their prostate cancer grows and spreads to other parts of the body, despite the use of androgen-deprivation therapy to block the action of male sex hormones. Approximately 10-20% of patients with advanced prostate cancer will develop CRPC within five years, and at least 84% of these patients will have metastases at the time of CRPC diagnosis. Of patients with no metastases at CRPC diagnosis, 33% are likely to develop metastases within two years.

Pets have allergies, just like the rest of us. The problem is they can’t exactly tell us if your new sweater is making them itch or if they’re just having a nice scratch at the end of a long day. You could take your pet to the vet, but pet allergy tests at the vet can be expensive. Luckily, now you can find out for yourself if your furry friend has any common allergies. Allergy Test My Pet Kit is easy to use and could tell you why your pet is scratching. During our Deal Days Promo, you can score Allergy Test My Pet Kit for only $59.99 (Reg. $107) no coupon needed.
You might not know it from looking at them, but allergies are pretty common for many pets. Dogs are particularly vulnerable to them, but a lot of the signs get ignored. Constant scratching or a sudden upset stomach are some signals your pet may have an allergy, but now you can be a lot more precise than that. This pet allergy test kit lets you check for about 100 of the most common allergens that your pet could be suffering from.
Even if your pet has gone years without showing signs of allergies, it’s worth getting them tested. Like people, animals can develop allergies later in life, and you don’t want your furry buddy to be miserable just because they used to like food they’re allergic to now.
The actual test is simple. All you need is a saliva sample from your pet and you’re on your way. Once you’ve tested your pet, you’ll get a custom analysis of food and environment items that your pet may be allergic to.

Golf World Reacts To Rory McIlroy's Brooks Koepka Comments
Rory McIlroy wasn't happy with Brooks Koepka's decision on Wednesday.
Koepka decided to join the LIV Tour as he's now one of many big-time golfers to leave the PGA Tour.
McIlroy spoke to the media on Wednesday and seemed surprised by Koepka's decision but also took issue with it.
"Am I surprised? Yes, because of what he said previously. I think I'm surprised that a lot of these guys (who joined the LIV) because they say one thing and then do another and I don't understand that," McIlroy said. "It's pretty duplicitous on their part to say one thing and then do another thing."
The golf world had some fascinating takes on that statement from McIlroy.
This has clearly created a big rift among the top golfers around the world and it's only going to get worse before it gets better. | https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/golf-world-reacts-to-rory-mcilroys-brooks-koepka-comments | 2022-06-22T22:36:14Z | https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/golf-world-reacts-to-rory-mcilroys-brooks-koepka-comments | true | 1 |
First-of-its-kind conference and community of experts will address nation's growing mental health crisis
NEW YORK , June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Emerald Holding, Inc. (NYSE: EEX) ("Emerald" or the "Company") today introduced Mentera, a new brand focused on developing more effective workplace solutions for addressing the nation's growing mental health crisis. Mentera's aim is to create and foster a more connected community of mental health experts and leaders through both a 365 digital platform and in-person forum focused on improving mental health through the workplace. The inaugural Mentera conference and exhibition is scheduled for May 16-17, 2023, at the Hyatt Regency Salt Lake City.
In a recent Mentera nationwide survey, top executives at more than 500 mid-to-large companies identified the mental health of their workforce and employee retention as the most important human resource issues. The survey further revealed that employers want to know how benefits programs, planning optimization, tools, services and performance analytics can help create better workplace solutions for the mental health of their employees.
"Improving mental health has become a top priority for employers and this recent first-hand research further validates the degree to which leaders across all industries are struggling with the 'how' to serve the needs of many," said Wilfred Krenn, Mentera VP/Brand Leader. "Our goal is to help connect all key stakeholder groups to successfully address the associated challenges in new and creative ways."
Mentera has found that better education, networking and collaboration among stakeholders is vital and will bring together C-suite, VP/director-level and other corporate leaders charged with improving the mental health and wellbeing of their employees. Overcoming the current stigma associated with addressing mental health in the workplace and better serving the individual needs of employees is what this collective effort seeks to deliver.
"Industry leaders have expressed the need for a more connected community as key to optimizing resources while helping address the complexities of meeting the mental health needs of different population types," said Wendy Wiesman, Mentera VP/Strategy & Business Development. "By bringing the experts to the table, we can together make the best decisions for the most effective solutions and Mentera is designed to do exactly that."
Mentera's 365 digital platform will be designed to virtually connect stakeholders, provide ongoing collaboration and present new product offerings. The Mentera conference will be structured to help employers more strategically source the most effective mental health services and solutions from providers while providing valuable educational resources and networking opportunities.

ATLANTA (AP) — Nearly $100,000 in cash was taken in a weekend burglary at the Atlanta home of former NBA player Vince Carter, according to an incident report released Wednesday by Atlanta Police.
Two guns and more than $16,000 was recovered later outside the 10,000-square-foot (900-square meter) home in Atlanta's affluent Buckhead neighborhood. Carter told police the recovered money was a small portion of $100,000 in cash he kept in a bag in a closet, the report said.
According to the report, Carter’s wife, Sondi Carter, was in bed with her two sons when she heard loud noises around 11:50 p.m. Sunday. They hid in a closet and she called 911, then texted her neighborhood patrol. A neighborhood patrol officer, who was the first law enforcement to arrive, saw a man fleeing in a black SUV but was unable to catch him, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
Neither Sondi Carter, nor her children, were hurt, but police said a front window on the main house had been smashed. Outside, officers found “a large amount of $100 bills spilled on the ground,” along with a gold Desert Eagle pistol and a black Glock 26 pistol with an extended magazine, the report said. The Desert Eagle belonged to Carter, but investigators believe the Glock was carried by the suspect, the incident report said.
While in the closet, Carter later told police, she could hear someone rummaging through different rooms upstairs. According to the report, multiple rooms were in disarray and a gate at the top of the stairs had been broken off its hinges.
Fulton County property records show the home, built in 2016, is owned by Vince Carter, who played 22 seasons in the NBA before retiring with the Hawks in 2020. Carter bought the home, which sits on nearly an acre and a half (.6 hectares) of land, for nearly $7 million in August 2020, property records show.
A real estate listing described the property as a “family compound” with “state of the art home security" that includes 16 closed-circuit security cameras. A fence also appears to encircle the home, including an electronic gate across the driveway.
Police have not publicly identified a suspect, but the incident report said a fingerprint from the suspect was collected from the scene.
Carter, who now works as an NBA analyst for ESPN, has not responded to requests for comment from the newspaper. | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/Nearly-100K-stolen-from-ex-NBA-player-Vince-17259221.php | 2022-06-22T22:45:31Z | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/Nearly-100K-stolen-from-ex-NBA-player-Vince-17259221.php | true | 19 |

For years, PSG have pushed for Champions League glory under Qatari-backed ownership. Still unable to lay their hands on the coveted European trophy, the club may once again be looking to change leadership on the field, hoping it will change their fortunes as well.
Current boss Mauricio Pochettino, hired just last summer, is on his way out according to a number of reports over the last few months. Chatter began even before PSG were dumped out of the 2021/22 Champions League by eventual champions Real Madrid, and now it feels like a foregone conclusion that Pochettino will be leaving the club with reports of an agreement with a successor.
Still, until PSG confirm his departure, the Argentine remains in charge in the French capital.
The Sporting News brings you the latest news and reports regarding Mauricio Pochettino's job status at the Ligue 1 champions.
MORE: Who is reported new PSG manager target Christophe Galtier?
Have PSG fired Mauricio Pochettino?
ESPNFC's Ligue 1 correspondent Julien Laurens reported on June 15 that Mauricio Pochettino is set to depart the club, despite winning the French league title.
Laurens's report is just the latest in a long line of suggestions that PSG will eventually part ways with Pochettino. However, the Argentine isn't going down without a fight.
According to a report by Spanish publication AS on June 20, there is disagreement over the compensation package for Pochettino and his staff to leave the club.
The outlet states that Pochettino's contract calls for a €20 million (£17 million / $21.5 million) severance fee for ending the relationship early, but the club is attempting to reduce that figure. Obviously, Pochettino is insisting that the contract be honored and the club pony up if they wish to make a change.
Why are PSG replacing Mauricio Pochettino?
Despite winning the Ligue 1 title in 2021/22, Mauricio Pochettino's first full season at PSG has been considered a failure by the club, thus spurring a change at the helm.
PSG have sights set higher than winning the French league title, with seemingly only Champions League glory enough to satiate the club's ownership and fans. In fact, the club's ultras protested the season's results by leaving Parc des Princes 15 minutes early on the day the club clinched the Ligue 1 title, refusing to celebrate the accomplishment with the players.
Additionally, the domestic results were not all up to standard either. The club was dumped from the Coupe de France in the Round of 16 by Nice in a penalty shootout.
Player and executive discord was also at the heart of Pochettino's struggles. The ESPNFC report indicated that twice during the season, Pochettino wished to discipline a player for breaking team rules, but was overruled by those in higher positions.
An ESPNFC report on June 20 also stated that conflicting forces atop the club's hierarchy, including former sporting director Leonardo, CEO Nasser Al-Khelaifi, and owner Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani all had varying opinions on matters, or different standards of satisfaction, which were difficult for Pochettino to navigate.
Who could replace Mauricio Pochettino at PSG?
A few names have been linked with the PSG managerial job once it's vacated, but one seems to stand out above the rest.
It appears OGC Nice manager Christophe Galtier will be the next man in charge at PSG. French publication L'Equipe reported on June 20 that the club was in negotiations with Galtier to be the next PSG manager, and CEO Al-Khelaifi confirmed as such the following day. It was reported on June 22 that there was an agreement in place for Galtier to take over.
"We have a shortlist of coaches. We are in talks with Nice, this is not a secret," Al-Khelaifi told French publication Le Parisien in an interview.
Multiple reports over the past few days, including from AS, suggested French legend and former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane was at the top of the PSG list, but that Zidane had expressed a preference to wait until after the 2022 World Cup due to his desire to manage the French national team. Should Didier Deschamps leave the France post after the World Cup, which has been rumored after a 10-year spell in charge, Zidane would be a likely candidate to replace him.
In the Le Parisien interview, Al-Khelaifi stated that PSG have not to this point had negotiations with Zidane, hinting at an understanding of his desire to coach the French national team.
The ESPN report also stated that Sevilla coach Julen Lopetegui, Sporting CP boss Ruben Amorim, and River Plate manager Marcelo Gallardo were other names explored by PSG before landing on Galtier.
Which club will Mauricio Pochettino manage next?
Should the separation with PSG go through as expected, Pochettino sets up to be the first manager on the list of any top European club making a change during the winter.
Leagues around the world will be breaking from Nov. 14 through Dec. 18 for the 2022 FIFA World Cup and that could prove a prime opportunity for struggling giants to opt for a managerial replacement.
With leagues kicking off in August, there will be three months worth of matches, including the entire group stage of Europe's continental competitions, for executives and owners at the top leagues to entertain making a change.
Pochettino has served as head coach in Spain with Espanyol (Jan. 2009 to Nov. 2012) and in England with Southampton (Jan. 2013 to June 2014) and Tottenham Hotspur (July 2014 to Nov. 2019).
The Argentine was also fired from his previous job at Spurs after a trophy-less tenure at the club. It was over a year later that he took over his next club in midseason when he assumed the PSG reins in January 2021.
While he led PSG to the Coupe de France in that first half-season, he fell short in the other two competitions, finishing one point behind LOSC Lille for the French title and losing to Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League semifinals. He eventually came away with the Ligue 1 title in his first full season (2021/22), but the three other cups eluded him, including the all-important Champions League. | https://www.sportingnews.com/us/soccer/news/psg-fired-mauricio-pochettino-reports-updates-contract-ligue-1/otyf4qgqjc8pi69cotoom91m | 2022-06-22T22:46:15Z | https://www.sportingnews.com/us/soccer/news/psg-fired-mauricio-pochettino-reports-updates-contract-ligue-1/otyf4qgqjc8pi69cotoom91m | true | 1 |

NEW YORK (AP) — An associate of Rudy Giuliani who was convicted of campaign finance crimes at trial and later pleaded guilty to a separate fraud charge is asking that he be spared from prison at his sentencing next week.
Lawyers for Lev Parnas made the request to a Manhattan federal judge in papers that were filed publicly Wednesday. The papers were dated June 15 but were kept sealed for a week while redactions were agreed to.
Parnas, 50, faces sentencing June 29 after he was convicted in October at a Manhattan trial of six charges alleging he made illegal donations in 2018 to jump-start a new energy company and used the wealth of a Russian financier to donate to politicians who might aid the launch of a legal recreational-marijuana business.
In March, he pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit wire fraud, saying that between 2012 and 2019 he conspired with another person to give investors false information about a Florida-based business, Fraud Guarantee.
Fraud Guarantee was promoted as a company that could protect investors against fraud.
In their presentencing submission, lawyers for the Soviet-born businessman argued that their client deserves leniency in part because he cooperated with Congress, calling it “timely and material."
They said his efforts to cooperate with federal prosecutors were not successful.
“Apparently, the information Mr. Parnas wished to supply the Department of Justice in this case was information that it did not want to hear," they wrote. “Prosecutors kept Mr. Parnas at bay for months before finally hearing his proffer. When they did, it was principally used to thwart his potential trial testimony, rather than to consider his attempt to provide substantial assistance in good faith."
The lawyers said federal sentencing guidelines suggest Parnas could face from five to eight years in prison, depending on which calculation the sentencing judge accepts.
But they wrote that regardless of the calculation, a sentence of time served — roughly 12 days — would be sufficient.
Parnas several years ago worked with Giuliani to try to get Ukrainian officials to investigate the son of President Joe Biden, who was a candidate at the time. Giuliani has said he knew nothing about the crimes of Parnas and others.
Giuliani — a former New York City mayor who served as Donald Trump’s personal lawyer during part of his presidency — has not been criminally charged, though federal authorities have acknowledged that he is being investigated to determine whether he violated a federal law that governs lobbying on behalf of foreign countries or entities. | https://www.michigansthumb.com/news/article/Giuliani-associate-seeks-to-avoid-prison-at-June-17259249.php | 2022-06-22T22:59:54Z | https://www.michigansthumb.com/news/article/Giuliani-associate-seeks-to-avoid-prison-at-June-17259249.php | false | 10 |
WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — Lawmakers are concerned the NFL allowed the owner of the Washington Commanders to create a toxic work environment.
“If the NFL is unwilling or unable to hold Mr. Snyder accountable, then I am prepared to do so,” Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) said.
At a hearing Wednesday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the NFL took the right steps to fix workplace problems on the team.
“We have been open and direct about the fact that the workplace culture at the commanders was not only unprofessional, but toxic,” Goodell said.
But, Maloney does not think it’s enough and announced she will issue a subpoena to the Commanders owner.
“The committee will not be deterred in its investigation to uncover the truth,” Maloney said.
Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) says Goodell needs to release the NFL’s investigation report.
“It is possible to release a detailed report and at the same time protect people’s privacy yet you chose not to do so,” Krishnamoorthi said.
But many Republicans criticized Democrats for even holding the hearing.
“That is the parliamentary inquiry madam chair…You can bang the gavel all you want but I don’t really care,” Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fl.) said.
Donalds says the committee is wasting time.
“The National Football League which is the entity responsible for the Washington Redskins, they’ve gone through the investigation they’ve actually held the team accountable,” Donalds said.
Donalds says Democrats should be more concerned about the bigger issues impacting the country. | https://www.keloland.com/washington/rep-maloney-announces-to-subpoena-washington-commanders-owner-during-hearing/ | 2022-06-22T23:00:15Z | https://www.keloland.com/washington/rep-maloney-announces-to-subpoena-washington-commanders-owner-during-hearing/ | false | 13 |

Longtime D.C.-area news anchor Leon Harris will serve a brief stint in jail following his conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol earlier this year.
TV station WRC-4, the Washington NBC affiliate, reported that Mr. Harris, who works for the station, will have to spend 10 days in jail for his January DUI offense in Montgomery County, Maryland.
Mr. Harris was also sentenced to three years of supervised probation with an ignition interlock device installed on his car.
His formal sentence was a year imprisonment with all but 10 days suspended. If he violates probation, he will have to serve the other 355 days behind bars.
This week’s guilty plea was his second DUI offense. He will turn himself in to his jailers on Friday.
On the night of the crash, Mr. Harris rear-ended one car, which then hit another car.

When responding officers arrived, NBC Washington said that Mr. Harris tried to flee the scene, but was stopped by police. WRC reported that a breathalyzer test conducted by police found that Mr. Harris’ BAC level was twice the legal limit of .08%.
Mr. Harris was placed under arrest. No one was seriously hurt in the crash.
“I admitted in court today something that I have come to fully accept,” Mr. Harris said in a statement posted by his station. “I made a terrible decision to drink and drive.”
“That is something I am grateful to have survived and something for which I will have to pay a debt to society. I am looking forward to doing so, and being a better and healthier person, husband and father in the process. My alcoholism will not be the end of me, but my acknowledging it is going to be a new beginning for me,” he said.
Mr. Harris had previously pleaded guilty to driving a vehicle while impaired in 2013 along Interstate 270 in Maryland, according to NBC Washington. He was given probation before judgment in that incident.
Mr. Harris has been a staple on D.C.-area newscasts for nearly 20 years. He joined WJLA-7, the region’s ABC station, in 2003 and worked there for 13 years before leaving the station in September 2016. He was hired by WRC in April 2017.
Before coming to the national Capital region, Mr. Harris had been a video journalist and later an anchor at CNN’s headquarters in Atlanta since the mid-1980s. | https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/jun/22/leon-harris-gets-10-days-jail-dui/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS | 2022-06-22T23:04:33Z | https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/jun/22/leon-harris-gets-10-days-jail-dui/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS | true | 1 |

TULSA, Okla. — A shoe art project at McLain High School has grown into something unexpected.
Since the completion of the McLain art shoe, it has made its first debut at a local museum, proving the possibilities for this high school project are endless.
“This was the first shoe that started all the sneakerhead culture — that’s what created this obsession with sneakers,” said Adam Carnes, fine arts teacher at McLain High School.
Just as the original 1985 "Chicago" Air Jordan 1 created a movement within the sneaker world, the McLain OG shoe art project has also started a phenomenon at McLain.
“Everyone that’s seen is like 'Wow, hold on a second…that’s taller than I am,'" Christian Sanders said. Sanders is one of the students who worked on the project and said the project helped boost his self-esteem.
“It makes me want to get more creative on certain things that I create and find more ways to get everyone else to get a bigger feeling on it or get more involved or get more involved into projects, or activities, or anything like that,” he said.
Carnes said the project was inspired by a student who wanted to paint his own shoes. Soon that idea grew into something bigger than students ever expected.
“Students didn’t quite get the scope of what the project was going to be, but once it started turning into this giant thing,” Carnes said.
Carnes and 71 students worked on the shoe. Christian Sanders is one of them.
They used cardboard, flour, water, and paint for the body and canvas for the shoelaces — taking them 61 days to complete. Since then the sculpture has already made its first museum appearance at the Philbrook's Sneaker Soiree.
“It’s been to the museum, so I’d say that’s a big step,” Sanders said.
It's a big step that Carnes and others at McLain hope will bring greater opportunities for the students. While students were attending the recent PGA beyond the Greens event, one of the school coaches met a former Nike employee and Vice President for the Jordan Brand.
Since then, they've been in contact with him, hoping he can help connect them with the right sources to get each student a pair of Jordans as a reward for their hard work.
“Not everyone can afford $200-$300 shoes, but I believe that they put in that work through their art that they’re deserving of that to me,” Social Service Specialist for McLain, Kim James said.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Puerto Rico’s Comptroller Office released a report Wednesday saying the island’s Senate made nearly $30,000 worth of “extravagant, excessive and unnecessary” purchases from 2013 to 2020.
The report comes as the U.S. territory tries to emerge from the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history and remains under the eye of a federal control board overseeing the island’s finances. Puerto Rico declared in 2015 that it was unable to pay its more than $70 billion public debt.
The report found that the items bought included a $2,545 sofa, two chandeliers worth $1,200 each, three chairs valued at $675 each, two laptops worth more than $9,000 and an $870 console table, among other things.
The Comptroller Office said it wasn’t clear whether any effort was made to contact the Senate’s warehouse to see if it had any of the furniture sought by a former legislator who was not identified.
In addition, $8,200 was spent to buy 225 red shirts for a 2015 sporting event that already included official shirts, the report said.
“This expense turned out to be unnecessary, because it was of no use to the public,” the report said.
The office also found that the Senate paid more than $16,000 to update online systems, but those were never installed.
The report said the Senate improperly spent nearly $75,000 on medical insurance for 10 police officers serving as bodyguards for political leaders when those officers already had their own insurance via the police department.
The report issued various recommendations, including that the president of the Senate ensure such spending is not repeated.
Those who served as president of Puerto Rico’s Senate during the years covered by the comptroller’s investigation could not be immediately reached for comment. A spokesman for the current Senate president, José Luis Dalmau, said he wasn't immediately available for comment. | https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/Report-Puerto-Rico-Senate-made-extravagant-17259164.php | 2022-06-22T23:26:57Z | https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/Report-Puerto-Rico-Senate-made-extravagant-17259164.php | true | 15 |

KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — The remains of Congo’s independence leader Patrice Lumumba arrived in the capital, Kinshasa, from Belgium Wednesday and will be taken around the country, a government official said.
After leading the struggle for Congo’s independence from colonial power Belgium, Lumumba became the country’s first prime minister before being assassinated six months later in 1961.
Immediately after his killing, Lumumba’s body was dismembered and dissolved with acid in an apparent effort to keep any grave from becoming a pilgrimage site. A gold-capped tooth was all that remained and was kept by the Belgian police commissioner who oversaw the destruction of Lumumba’s body. In 2016 the tooth was seized by Belgian officials from the police commissioner’s daughter.
A coffin containing Lumumba’s tooth was taken Wednesday from Kinshasa to Lumumba’s birthplace in Onalua village in Sankuru province. From there it will be taken around the country.
The restitution of the relic took place after Belgium’s King Philippe expressed regrets earlier this month for his nation’s abuses in Congo when it was a colony.
Lumumba was a patriot and Congolese people wanted to honor his memory by paying their respects to his remains, member of parliament Lambert Mende told The Associated Press.
“I welcome the return of the relic of the Congolese prime minister,” Mende said. | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/world-news/ap-international/remains-of-congos-first-leader-are-returned-from-belgium/ | 2022-06-22T23:30:29Z | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/world-news/ap-international/remains-of-congos-first-leader-are-returned-from-belgium/ | true | 36 |
WENATCHEE — The Wenatchee Target reopened Wednesday for the first time since a fire forced the store to close for three weeks. An arson suspect was jailed two hours later.
Anthony Torres of East Wenatchee was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of first-degree arson and third-degree theft in connection to the May 29 fire, according to a news release from the Wenatchee Police Department.
“This is a big deal,” said Capt. Edgar Reinfeld. “A lot of people were affected by this.”
Police were led to Torres by a witness identified after social media posts.
Target Asset Protection did a “deep dive” on its surveillance footage and “figured out who the suspect talked to,” Reinfeld said.
The department shared a photo of the witness on Facebook and Instagram and the witness was identified by commenters.
Wenatchee police confronted Torres, 22, about 8:30 a.m. Wednesday — a half hour after the store reopened — following a complaint of a suspicious person outside a daycare on the 300 block of Roosevelt Street, the news release said. He provided the police a false name and left on a bicycle.
Members of the Columbia River Drug Task Force detained Torres later in the morning on the 300 block of South Wenatchee Avenue. He was brought to the police station about 9:30 a.m. where he declined to make a statement, Reinfeld said.
Torres booked into the Chelan County Regional Justice Center about 10 a.m.
Police speculated in early June that the fire inside Target — set on furniture in the outdoors section — was a diversion to distract from the theft of store products.
Reinfeld clarified Wednesday that investigators believe Torres stole items, but can't be certain the fire was a set as a distraction.
The fire was contained to a small area, but smoke and soot damaged products throughout the store, which led Target to replace its entire inventory.
Pete O’Cain is a graduate of Central Washington University, served in the Marines Corps and covers public safety in Chelan and Douglas counties. He also leads The Wenatchee World’s wildfire coverage.

Police have arrested a man who they believe shot and killed his mother, stepfather and cousin at a Mableton-area home on Tuesday.
Police say the incident stemmed from a domestic dispute.
Donnell Peaks, 63, Janice Peaks, 60, and Cameron King, 38, were all found shot at 738 Gardner St. on Tuesday afternoon, police said. Donnell and Janice Peaks were pronounced dead at the scene. King was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital but died shortly after arrival.
Officers responded to a shots-fired call at approximately 12:51 p.m. Tuesday, police said. Marcus Darnell Smith, 37, was located not far from the residence and arrested. He was booked into the Cobb County jail, where he remains in custody and is ineligible for bond.
Janice and Donnell Peaks were Smith’s mother and stepfather, police said. King was Smith’s cousin.
Smith is accused in the warrant of shooting Janice Peaks and King in the head, and shooting Donnell Peaks in the head and in the legs.
Jail records indicate Smith lived at the home where the shooting occurred, and that he was arrested on nearby Factory Shoals Drive. He has been charged with three counts of murder and three counts of aggravated assault.
The shooting remains an active investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact detectives at 770-499-3945.

Doug Goodwin era begins for Morgantown girls’ basketball
Takes over after the departure of Jason White
MORGANTOWN, W.Va (WDTV) - Doug Goodwin is Morgantown girls’ basketball’s new head guy in charge, but he isn’t new. Goodwin has been working with the Mohigans in some capacity since 2004 and has worked under three coaches - Allan Collins, Adam Henkins and Jason White. All three taught him how to eventually lead this program.
“The dedication all three of them had for the program. That’s what I hope to continue on, definitely don’t want to see it slide downhill,” Goodwin said. “Really didn’t take much convincing for me to step in. I was excited about the job.”
Goodwin takes over a Mohigan team that finished the 2021-2022 season as the Class AAAA State Runner-Up, setting some big expectations for the season to come. This summer is providing a glimpse at what he has in his arsenal.
“I like the energy these kids bring. Every day they come in with energy and it’s nice, Goodwin said. “That helps me, that helps the entire team energy wise, everyone just gets moving.”
That runner-up trophy is already driving this team forward in summer three-week practices... and that’ll need to remain the case once the winter season gets closer.
“Always want my players to keep getting better, just want them to keep working hard. They know, state runner-up last year. They know what their goal is for this season,” Goodwin said. “Coming into November they’ve got to get in, be ready to roll and get out there.”
Goodwin has taken countless trips to Charleston for the state tournament, but making it back in his first year at the helm, and going all the way, would be special.
“That’d be very nice, we’d love to see that happen. We are deep this year, which is really good, so anybody on any given day could step up and help this group out,” Goodwin said. “Hopefully we’ll be able to reach that goal next year and get back to the state title game.”
Above all else, Morgantown is home for Goodwin. Adding head coach to his plate just solidifies that even more.
“I’m a graduate of Morgantown High, played baseball here,” Goodwin said. “My wife and I are Red and Blue through and through, so this is where I want to be coaching.”

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — One of the men injured in a shooting in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan, earlier this month sustained 10 gunshot wounds but is expected to be OK after his bride helped stem the bleeding, family says.
“It’s the worst feeling in the world,” his mother said of learning her son had been shot. “I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.”
Just after midnight on June 5, 23-year-old Marcellous Suttles was out with his bride on Pearl Street near downtown. His wedding had taken place at New Covenant Church earlier on June 4.
“It was such a happy day,” his mother Natasha Suttles told News 8 on Tuesday. “I don’t want to remember that night. We’re going to remember it for the rest of our lives.”
“I was hysterical, screaming in the house, yelling for my daughter, yelling no, and just through my mind I was like, ‘No, not again,’” she continued.
Marcellous Suttles’s father died in August 2010 of a heart attack. His mother feared the worst again on June 5.
“They have the same first name,” she said. “And I’m just like, ‘No, not again.’ That was my first [thought in my] mind. ‘I can’t, I can’t do this again.’”
Marcellous Suttles was one of four men shot that night. One of them, 25-year-old Armonie Acklin, died on the scene. Police said that two groups of people who knew each other ran into each other and a fight broke out. Court documents show suspect Genesis Lewis told investigators he went to his vehicle to get a handgun and started firing. Lewis, 23, was charged with second-degree murder, three counts of assault with intent to murder and a count of felony firearm in connection to the shooting.
Kieychia Likely, Marcellous Suttles’ aunt, was the maid of honor at the wedding. She called it “gut-wrenching” to go from a “beautiful ceremony” to receiving the phone call that her nephew had been shot.
“You go from extreme high of happiness to an extreme low of potentially your loved one is gone in the same day you’re celebrating such a beautiful union,” Likely said. “You’re potentially mourning the loss of somebody you care about deeply.”
Natasha Suttles raced to the hospital while Likely went to the scene of the shooting.
They said the bride used ties and belts to stem her husband’s bleeding and to help at least one of the other men before emergency responders arrived.
“She was covered in blood,” Likely said. “They wouldn’t release her because she witnessed the whole thing. The streets were blocked off. She was hysterical, rightfully so because she had just gotten married that morning.”
Marcellus Suttles suffered wounds to his shoulder, stomach, hand and thigh. Despite that, he was released from the hospital the same day. His mother called it a “miracle.”
Likely said Marcellous Suttles doesn’t have a good memory of what happened that night.
He still has a long road to recovery. Natasha Suttles said her son will need surgery on his hand and possibly his shoulder.
“One of the bullets has moved from his shoulder now,” she said. “He does have fragments still in his shoulder because the shoulder is also broken. It did move into his chest cavity by his lung now. We’re a little worried about that now, even though they say we don’t have to worry.”
Marcellous Suttles has two younger brothers, ages 8 and 12.
“They don’t really know how to deal with it and process,” Natasha Suttles said.
Amid a surge of gun violence in Grand Rapids, she said she is shaken.
“With all these shootings now, I don’t feel safe anywhere,” she said.
Natasha Suttles has set up a GoFundMe account to support her son and his bride that had raised $1,160 as of Tuesday afternoon.
“There are multiple family members whose lives have been forever changed by this,” Likely said. “It’s important to keep them in mind and keep them in prayer as well. This is the beginning of a long road. That night was the starting point.” | https://www.wjtv.com/news/bride-helps-save-groom-shot-10-times-hours-after-wedding-in-michigan/ | 2022-06-22T23:41:09Z | https://www.wjtv.com/news/bride-helps-save-groom-shot-10-times-hours-after-wedding-in-michigan/ | true | 21 |
Teachers in metro Atlanta agree with report about teacher burnout
ATLANTA, Ga. (CBS46) - Testing, mental health, and unrealistic expectations are some of the factors for Georgia teachers who have resigned and retired, according to a new report commissioned by the state department of education.
“This is our third week out and I’m just beginning to feel relaxed,” said metro Atlanta teacher Kathy Green.
She has found solace in bicycling this summer.
The 28-year veteran teacher would normally be working summer school but after the past few years of unprecedented challenges, that’s no longer the case.
“The pay was not a motivator for me to work, no they could not pay me enough for summer,” she told CBS46.
Green is not alone in citing mental health and pandemic pressures. In fact, she’s among the burnt-out Georgia teachers, says a report released last week by University of Georgia completed for the Georgia State Department of Education.
It confirmed a survey which found by the 2021, 31% of teachers said they would not remain in the profession.
For Green, she wouldn’t even recommend it to loved ones, right now.
“I do have two daughters and I encouraged them not to go into teaching, either one. And that’s really sad because teaching has been-- it’s been good to me.” Adding, “It allowed me as a single parent to raise them and participate in their education.”
Despite their love for the work hours and the students, similarly, Kimberly Pugh is burdened with burnout unlike ever before in her 24 years as an educator.
She chuckled, “I need a mental break as well, but I need the money more so here I am teaching during the summer.”
Student assessments, unrealistic expectations, coupled with fewer resources were just some of the factors the report identified.
The American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education sounded the alarm back in March, on the downward trend.
The group said there was a concerning decline in interest for the career.
Georgia State University told CBS46 a similar story through its latest enrollment numbers for the career.
Its undergraduate teacher preparation program had 297 students enrolled in Spring 2019, compared to the 238 in Spring 2022.
For graduate teacher preparation, 385 enrolled in Spring 2019 compared to the 257 in Spring 2022.
Ask Pugh, it’s about adjusting the dollars to make sense.
“You know that saying ‘less is more,’” she asked. “Not when it comes to a teacher’s salary. We want more. We need more. We deserve more money.”
It’s a solution the GaDOE agrees with. The report says action that’s being taken as result of the burnout includes bonuses, pay raise, and federal relief funding for more resources in the classroom.
“It’s not an easy profession, it’s tailor-made for people who have the heart,” Pugh added.

MILWAUKIE, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon State Police trooper and Clackamas County sheriff’s detective fatally shot Derrick Dewayne Clark, 24, after a traffic stop and pursuit early Saturday.
In an initial statement, the sheriff’s office said the shooting happened after an attempted traffic stop and chase that ended in Milwaukie, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported.
The officers tried to stop Clark because they suspected he was driving under the influence, the Clackamas County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement Tuesday afternoon.
Clark drove his car into a ditch, police told Clark to show his hands and he got out of the car with a handgun. Police shot him twice, the statement said. The shooting is being investigated by the Oregon City and Lake Oswego police departments.
Oregon State Police trooper Zachary Cole and Clackamas County Sheriff’s Department detective Dan Ferguson are both on leave pending the outcome of an investigation and grand jury decision on whether or not to indict them.
Under a new policy, Clackamas County deputies are only supposed to engage in pursuits when they believe a person has committed a felony crime.
Driving under the influence is a misdemeanor in Oregon unless a person has three prior convictions in the past 10 years. | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/Man-police-killed-in-Oregon-ID-d-police-say-he-17259353.php | 2022-06-22T23:48:48Z | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/Man-police-killed-in-Oregon-ID-d-police-say-he-17259353.php | false | 10 |

AstraZeneca and Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, today announced that the results from the Phase 3 PROpel trial have been published in NEJM Evidence . Results from the trial showed that LYNPARZA in combination with abiraterone plus prednisone significantly improved radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) versus abiraterone plus prednisone, a standard of care, as first-line treatment for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with or without homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene mutations.
Globally, prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in patients assigned male at birth, with an estimated 1.4 million patients diagnosed worldwide in 2020. Approximately 10-20% of patients with advanced prostate cancer are estimated to develop CRPC within five years, and at least 84% of these patients may develop metastases at the time of CRPC diagnosis. Patients with advanced prostate cancer have a particularly poor prognosis, and the five-year survival rate remains low.
Dr. Noel Clarke, urological surgeon and professor of urological oncology at The Christie/Salford Royal Hospitals and University of Manchester, joint chief investigator of the PROpel trial and joint lead author of the NEJM Evidence manuscript, said, "It is critically important that we identify new first-line treatment options for patients with mCRPC. The data published in NEJM Evidence emphasize the therapeutic potential of combining olaparib with abiraterone and prednisone and demonstrate efficacy in a wider group of patients beyond those with documented DNA repair deficiency."
Cristian Massacesi, chief medical officer and oncology chief development officer, AstraZeneca, said, "These data demonstrate that the combination of LYNPARZA with abiraterone and prednisone afforded patients a median radiographic progression-free survival of over two years, regardless of biomarker status. If approved, the combination will offer patients with and without HRR gene mutations a new treatment option."
Dr. Eliav Barr, senior vice president and head of global clinical development, chief medical officer, Merck Research Laboratories, said, "Publication of the PROpel data in NEJM Evidence reflects the benefit seen with the combination of LYNPARZA plus abiraterone and prednisone in the first-line setting of mCRPC, and we are pleased that these data have been selected for one of the first issues of this new journal."
In September 2021, at a planned interim analysis, the independent Data Monitoring Committee concluded that the PROpel trial met its primary endpoint of rPFS. The results were presented in February 2022 at the 2022 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, and additional data on safety and tolerability as well as pharmacokinetics were presented at the 2022 ASCO Annual Meeting on June 6.
As previously reported, in the Phase 3 PROpel trial, LYNPARZA in combination with abiraterone plus prednisone (n=399) reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 34% (HR=0.66 [95% CI, 0.54-0.81]; p
LYNPARZA is approved in the U.S. for patients with HRR gene-mutated mCRPC ( BRCA -mutated and other HRR gene mutations) who have progressed following prior treatment with enzalutamide or abiraterone and in the European Union, Japan and China for patients with BRCA -mutated mCRPC who have progressed following prior therapy that included a new hormonal agent (NHA).
About PROpel
PROpel (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03732820 ) is a randomized, double-blind Phase 3 trial testing the efficacy, safety and tolerability of LYNPARZA versus placebo when given in addition to abiraterone and prednisone in patients with mCRPC who had not received prior chemotherapy or NHAs in the first-line setting. The primary endpoint is rPFS, and secondary endpoints include overall survival, time to disease progression or death, and time to first subsequent therapy.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CONTRAINDICATIONS
There are no contraindications for LYNPARZA.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Myelodysplastic Syndrome/Acute Myeloid Leukemia (MDS/AML): Occurred in approximately 1.5% of patients exposed to LYNPARZA monotherapy, and the majority of events had a fatal outcome. The median duration of therapy in patients who developed MDS/AML was 2 years (range: 10 years). All of these patients had previous chemotherapy with platinum agents and/or other DNA-damaging agents, including radiotherapy.
Do not start LYNPARZA until patients have recovered from hematological toxicity caused by previous chemotherapy (≤Grade 1). Monitor complete blood count for cytopenia at baseline and monthly thereafter for clinically significant changes during treatment. For prolonged hematological toxicities, interrupt LYNPARZA and monitor blood count weekly until recovery.
If the levels have not recovered to Grade 1 or less after 4 weeks, refer the patient to a hematologist for further investigations, including bone marrow analysis and blood sample for cytogenetics. Discontinue LYNPARZA if MDS/AML is confirmed.
Pneumonitis: Occurred in 0.8% of patients exposed to LYNPARZA monotherapy, and some cases were fatal. If patients present with new or worsening respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, cough, and fever, or a radiological abnormality occurs, interrupt LYNPARZA treatment and initiate prompt investigation. Discontinue LYNPARZA if pneumonitis is confirmed and treat patient appropriately.
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Based on its mechanism of action and findings in animals, LYNPARZA can cause fetal harm. A pregnancy test is recommended for females of reproductive potential prior to initiating treatment.
Females
Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception during treatment and for 6 months following the last dose.
Males
Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential or who are pregnant to use effective contraception during treatment and for 3 months following the last dose of LYNPARZA and to not donate sperm during this time.
Venous Thromboembolic Events: Including pulmonary embolism, occurred in 7% of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who received LYNPARZA plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) compared to 3.1% of patients receiving enzalutamide or abiraterone plus ADT in the PROfound study. Patients receiving LYNPARZA and ADT had a 6% incidence of pulmonary embolism compared to 0.8% of patients treated with ADT plus either enzalutamide or abiraterone.

About LYNPARZA ® (olaparib)
LYNPARZA is a first-in-class PARP inhibitor and the first targeted treatment to potentially exploit DNA damage response (DDR) pathway deficiencies, such as BRCA mutations, to preferentially kill cancer cells. Inhibition of PARP with LYNPARZA leads to the trapping of PARP bound to DNA single-strand breaks, stalling of replication forks, their collapse and the generation of DNA double-strand breaks and cancer cell death. LYNPARZA is being tested in a range of tumor types with defects and dependencies in the DDR.
LYNPARZA, which is being jointly developed and commercialized by AstraZeneca and Merck, has a broad and advanced clinical trial development program, and AstraZeneca and Merck are working together to understand how it may affect multiple PARP-dependent tumors as a monotherapy and in combination across multiple cancer types.
About metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men globally and is associated with a significant mortality rate. Development of prostate cancer is often driven by male sex hormones called androgens, including testosterone. In patients with mCRPC, their prostate cancer grows and spreads to other parts of the body, despite the use of androgen-deprivation therapy to block the action of male sex hormones. Approximately 10-20% of patients with advanced prostate cancer will develop CRPC within five years, and at least 84% of these patients will have metastases at the time of CRPC diagnosis. Of patients with no metastases at CRPC diagnosis, 33% are likely to develop metastases within two years.

PIERRE (AP) — The South Dakota Senate on Tuesday convicted Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg of two impeachment charges stemming from a 2020 fatal crash, removing and barring him from future office in a stinging rebuke that showed most senators didn’t believe his account of the crash.
Ravnsborg, a first-term Republican who only recently announced he wouldn’t seek reelection, showed little emotion as senators convicted him first of committing a crime that caused someone’s death. They then delivered another guilty verdict on a malfeasance charge that alleged he misled investigators and misused his office.
Ravnsborg told a 911 dispatcher the night of the crash that he might have struck a deer or other large animal and has said he didn’t know he struck a man — 55-year-old Joseph Boever — until he returned to the scene the next morning. Criminal investigators said they didn’t believe some of Ravnsborg’s statements, and several senators made clear they didn’t either.
“There’s no question that was a lie,” said Sen. Lee Schoenbeck, the chamber’s top-ranking Republican. “This person ran down an innocent South Dakotan.”
Schoenbeck also criticized Ravnsborg for declining to testify in his own defense, saying Ravnsborg should have shared “what the hell he was doing” the night of the crash.
“There’s a mic right there, and that’s a damn short walk,” Schoenbeck said.
The convictions required a two-thirds majority in the Senate, controlled 32-3 by Republicans. Senators mustered the bare minimum 24 votes to convict Ravnsborg on the first charge, with some senators saying the two misdemeanors he pleaded guilty to weren’t serious enough crimes to warrant impeachment. The malfeasance charge — Ravnsborg also asked investigators what data could be found on his cellphone, among other things — sailed through with 31 votes.
Votes to bar Ravnsborg from future office, taken on both counts, were unanimous.
Ravnsborg’s face showed little emotion throughout the votes, holding his hand over his mouth as he had for much of the trial, then writing on a notepad in his lap. He did not answer questions from reporters as he exited the Capitol.
Ravnsborg in September agreed to an undisclosed settlement with Boever’s widow.
Nick Nemec, Boever’s cousin who has been a constant advocate for a severe punishment for Ravnsborg, said the votes were “vindication.”
“It’s just a relief. It’s been nearly two years that this has drug on and it just feels like a weight off my shoulders,” he said.
Ravnsborg is the first official to be impeached and convicted in South Dakota history.
Gov. Kristi Noem, who will pick Ravnsborg’s replacement until the candidate elected to replace him in November is sworn in, called for her fellow Republican to resign soon after the crash and later pressed lawmakers to pursue impeachment. As the saga dragged on, Noem publicly endorsed Ravnsborg’s predecessor, Republican Marty Jackley, for election as his replacement.
The governor celebrated the impeachment conviction on Twitter, saying it had lifted “the dark cloud over the Attorney General’s office.”
“It is now time to move on and begin to restore confidence in the office,” she said, but gave no indication as to who she will pick for the interim position.
Ravnsborg has argued that the governor, who has positioned herself for a possible 2024 White House bid, pushed for his removal in part because he had investigated ethics complaints against Noem.
As the impeachment trial opened Tuesday, prosecutors drove at a question that has hung over developments since the September 2020 collision: Did Ravnsborg know he killed a man the night of the crash?
“He absolutely saw the man that he struck in the moments after,” said Alexis Tracy, the Clay County state’s attorney who led the prosecution.
Prosecutors also told senators that Ravnsborg had used his title “to set the tone and gain influence” in the aftermath of the crash, even as he allegedly made “misstatements and outright lies” to the crash investigators. The prosecution played a montage of audio clips of Ravnsborg referring to himself as the attorney general.
Prosecuting attorneys probed Ravnsborg’s alleged misstatements during the aftermath of the crash, including that he never drove excessively over the speed limit, that he had reached out to Boever’s family to offer his condolence, and that he had not been browsing his phone during his drive home.
The prosecution played a series of video clips during their closing arguments that showed Ravnsborg’s shifting account of his phone use during interviews with criminal investigators. The attorney general at first outright denied he had been using his phone while driving, but then acknowledged he had been looking at his phone minutes before the crash. When it was time for senators to speak, several noted an accident reconstruction that found Ravnsborg’s car had veered entirely out of its lane, in contrast to his initial statement that he was in the middle of the road at the time of impact.
Ravnsborg resolved the criminal case last year by pleading no contest to a pair of traffic misdemeanors, including making an illegal lane change and using a phone while driving, and was fined by a judge.
The attorney general’s defense asked senators to consider the implications of impeachment on the function of state government. Ross Garber, a legal analyst and law professor at Tulane University who specializes in impeachment proceedings, told senators to impeach would be “undoing the will of the voters.”
Ravnsborg was driving home from a political fundraiser after dark on Sept. 12, 2020, on a state highway in central South Dakota when his car struck “something,” according to a transcript of his 911 call afterward. He told the dispatcher it might have been a deer or other animal.
Investigators identified what they thought were slips in Ravnsborg’s statements, such as when he said he turned around at the accident scene and “saw him” before quickly correcting himself and saying: “I didn’t see him.” And they contended that Boever’s face had come through Ravnsborg’s windshield because his glasses were found in the car.
“We’ve heard better lies from 5-year-olds,” Pennington County State’s Attorney Mark Vargo, acting as an impeachment prosecutor, said of Ravnsborg’s statement.
Investigators had determined the attorney general walked right past Boever’s body and the flashlight Boever had been carrying — still illuminated the next morning — as he looked around the scene the night of the crash.
Ravnsborg said neither he nor the county sheriff who came to the scene knew that Boever’s body was lying just feet from the pavement on the highway shoulder.
“There isn’t any way you can go by without seeing that,” Arnie Rummel, an agent with the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation who led the criminal probe, said in testimony Tuesday.
Prosecutors also raised an exchange that Ravnsborg had with one of his staff members three days following the crash, after he had submitted his phones to crash investigators. Ravnsborg questioned an agent in the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation about what would turn up during forensic exams of his cellphones, even though the agency was supposed to have no part in the investigation to avoid conflicts of interest.
“We were not supposed to be involved,” the now-retired agent, Brent Gromer, said as he described why the exchange made him uncomfortable.
Ravnsborg’s defense attorney contended that the attorney general had done nothing nefarious. His defense attorney, Mike Butler, described any discrepancies in Ravnsborg’s memory of that night as owing to human error, and disparaged testimony from Rummel, the crash investigator, as “opinion” that would not hold up in a court of law.
During closing arguments, Butler stated that the criminal prosecution found “no criminal culpability” for Boever’s death and urged senators to refrain from rehashing that case.
“No amount of fire and brimstone changes that given fact,” he said.
Sen. Arthur Rusch, a retired judge who said he had gotten to know Ravnsborg when he was a young attorney practicing in Rusch’s court, was among senators who didn’t support impeachment on the first charge, but did on the second. He said he was bothered by Ravnsborg’s actions in questioning Division of Criminal Investigation agents on aspects of the case and for issuing a press release on attorney general stationery.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Andrew Gillum, the 2018 Democratic nominee for Florida governor, is facing 21 federal charges related to a scheme to seek donations and funnel a portion of them back to him through third parties, the U.S. attorney’s office announced Wednesday.
Gillum, 42, and co-defendant Janet Lettman-Hicks, 53, face 19 counts of wire fraud. Gillum is also charged with making false statements to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The U.S. attorney’s office said the pair “conspired to commit wire fraud, by unlawfully soliciting and obtaining funds from various entities and individuals through false and fraudulent promises and representations that the funds would be used for a legitimate purpose.”
Lettman-Hicks then used her company to fraudulently give money to Gillum disguised as payroll payments, the office said in a press release.
“Make no mistake that this case is not legal, it is political. Throughout my career I have always stood up for the people of Florida and have spoken truth to power. There’s been a target on my back ever since I was the mayor of Tallahassee. They found nothing then, and I have full confidence that my legal team will prove my innocence now,” Gillum said in a statement released by his lawyers.
Gillum met with undercover FBI agents posing as developers while he was mayor and during his campaign for governor. His associates sought donations from the agents, and suggested ways to provide money without listing them as political contributions, including paying for a fundraising dinner, according to the indictment.
The agents were asked to contribute $100,000 to Gillum’s campaign and said the money could be given to a private company in order to keep the agents’ names out of campaign finance documents. The agents said they would want favorable consideration on development projects and were told that wouldn’t be a problem, according to the indictment.
The agents also met with Gillum in New York City and paid for his hotel, food and drink, a boat ride and a ticket to see “Hamilton,” according to the indictment.
Later, other FBI agents interviewed Gillum and asked if he had contact with the undercover agents. Gillum told them that he never asked for or received anything from the “developers,” and stopped communicating with them after they tried to link contributions to support for their projects, the indictment said.
It’s the latest trouble for Gillum, who lost to Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis in a race that required a recount. Gillum fell 32,464 votes short of being elected out of more than 8.2 million ballots cast.
Gillum served as mayor of Tallahassee before running for governor. He won a crowded Democratic primary against better funded candidates with 34.4% of the vote, stunning political observers. The charismatic politician won over the hearts of hardcore Democratic activists and ran a strong grassroots campaign.
After losing, Gillum was still seen as a rising star in Democratic politics and was hired as a CNN analyst.
Then, in March 2020, Gillum was found intoxicated and unconscious in a hotel room with two men, including one who works as a male escort. Two days later he entered a rehabilitation center, and later did a television interview in which he said he’s bisexual. | https://www.wsav.com/news/national-news/former-candidate-for-florida-governor-facing-federal-charges/ | 2022-06-22T23:58:38Z | https://www.wsav.com/news/national-news/former-candidate-for-florida-governor-facing-federal-charges/ | false | 35 |

The first official look at the reboot of WOW -- Women of Wrestling is here. The sizzle reel comes months after the all-female professional wrestling league announced its multi-year deal with ViacomCBS in October 2021.
The intense, minute-long clip shows the female athletes both in the ring and out, garnering excitement from fans about what is to come when the series returns this fall.
Jeanie Buss -- the league owner and WOW executive producer -- shared a statement to ET in October about why she wanted to see the show come back.
"Wrestling’s presentation of women has long been very important to me, and we now are presenting the epitome in sports entertainment that will highlight the athleticism of these superstars as we reintroduce WOW," Buss said. "Our partnership with the entire ViacomCBS Global Distribution Group family allows us to continue our mission of providing wrestling fans and WOW Superheroes what they have all deserved: a global platform for a dedicated women’s wrestling league."
That same month, Buss and two of WOW's superheroes, World Champion The Beast and former world champion Tessa Blanchard, spoke to ET about their excitement for the franchise to return.
"There are so many female athletes that don't get a chance to shine," Buss explained at the time. "People in a position like mine have to invest in opportunities for women to compete and to shine and to show us what they got. These two women right here deserve the spotlight. They deserve to be seen."
Blanchard, for her part, added, "[Wrestling has] taken me all over the world. I've gotten to live in different countries, and win championship titles all over the world, but now with WOW, this is without a doubt the biggest platform for women's wrestling in history. To be a part of it, it's a testament that we're changing the status quo for women's wrestling, for professional wrestling altogether, and it's just such a blessing to be a part of it."
WOW - Women of Wrestling is set to launch in September 2022 on CBS affiliates.

Vijayawada: The Andhra Pradesh High Court has pulled up the state government for the withdrawal of cases booked against people’s representatives without taking court permission and also for violation of a Supreme Court order.
A division bench of Chief Justice Prashant Mishra and Justice DVSS Somayajulu on Wednesday heard a petition filed by AP Journalists Federation president Krishnanjaneyulu. The petition challenged the withdrawal of prosecution cases against Jaggaiahpet MLA Samineni Udhayabhanu through a government order.
Petitioner’s counsel Jada Sravan asked as to how the cases booked against public representatives could be withdrawn based on directions from the DGP and district collector.
He said that the Supreme Court, in its order in 2021, made it clear that withdrawal of cases should be done only with high court permission.
The court asked the government pleader as to how such cases were withdrawn without taking its permission. He admitted that this was done. The court said this would be considered as contempt of court and directed the government to submit details as to how many cases booked against the people’s representatives were withdrawn so far; and, in how many such cases were the court’s permission taken through an affidavit?
Counsel admitted that cases booked on charges of distribution of money to voters during elections and attacks on officials were withdrawn.

VIJAYAWADA: The State Investment Promotion Board (SIPB) meeting under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Jagan Reddy here on Wednesday gave its nod for a proposal to generate 3700mw through a pumped storage project of the Adani Green Energy.
This involves an investment of Rs 15,376 crore in AP. The chief minister asserted the need for the speeding up of industrial development by making effective use of available resources.
“Adani Green Energy project will be developed in four phases. The first phase will be taken up in 2022-23 at a cost of Rs 1349 crore, the second phase in 2023-24 with Rs 6984 crore, the third phase with Rs 5188 crore and the final phase will be completed in 2025-26 with Rs 1855 crore, the meeting was told.
This would create employment opportunity for 4,000 persons.
A few other projects in Kadapa, Parvatipuram, Satya Sai districts for generating green energy were also cleared by the board.
It approved the setting up of a garment manufacturing industry by Punctuate World Pvt Ltd at an outlay of Rs 50 crore in Pulivendula and Kopparthi, providing employment to 4,200 people.
The board also gave its nod for the Avisa Foods Pvt Ltd's Shrimp Processing unit at Mallavalli Foodpark in Krishna district. The investment for this would be of Rs 150 crore, which would create 2500 jobs.
Clearance was also given to set up a hotel (VVPL) in Tirupati under the Novotel group that would put in Rs 126.48 crore and create direct employment to 300 persons and indirect employment to over 2700.
The government would transform the Kopparthi electronic park into a regional textile apparel park, where a Mega Integrated Textile Region and apparel parks will be developed in 1200 acres to produce quality items at low manufacturing cost and create employment opportunities.
The chief minister asked officials to prioritize aspects like connecting the area with railways. The government will provide uninterrupted electricity, water and other infrastructure facilities for the parks, he said.
Jagan said there is immense potential in the state for green energy generation of over 30000mw, which requires about 90,000 acres. Green Energy projects would be of great benefit to farmers as they can earn a minimum lease of Rs 30,000 per acre as a fixed income, especially in rain-fed areas. He directed the officials to look at those projects for which MoUs have been signed.
The chief minister said focus should be laid on bringing global companies to invest in AP, and added that there are opportunities for investments in Electronics, Tourism and Hospitality sectors.
He said there are many electronic manufacturing industries in Kopparthi.
Officials must take steps to set up a railway line to Kopparthi for easy transportation of goods, the CM said, adding that it is also important to connect industrial nodes with railways. Every node should be linked with railway lines, he said.

Soaring gas prices fuelled the largest rise in the annual inflation rate in four decades last month, Statistics Canada says — with further increases anticipated.
In May, customers paid 48 per cent more at the pump than a year earlier as a result of high crude oil prices, caused in turn by supply bottlenecks after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and a leap in demand prompted by eased COVID-19 restrictions.
The price of gasoline jumped 12 per cent between April and May, the largest one-month price increase since January 2003, the agency said Wednesday. That surge helped propel last month’s 34.8 per cent rise in energy prices year over year.
Gas prices are expected to rise another five per cent in June, projected Bank of Montreal chief economist Douglas Porter.
“In other words, we have a problem,” he said in a research note.
“While energy will shoulder much of the blame for the latest spike, it’s important to note that many measures of core inflation are now at or near five per cent, so this is well beyond a one-off move that will quickly fade even if oil prices relent.”
Services, which are driven mainly by domestic forces, are now up 5.2 per cent year over year, Porter noted.
The cost of consumer items as a whole rose 7.7 per cent last month compared with a year ago, its largest increase since January 1983 when it gained 8.2 per cent, StatCan said.
Higher oil prices have also pushed up jet fuel’s price tag. The figure hit US$176.13 per barrel in North America on Friday, up 17 per cent from a month earlier and 126 per cent from a year ago, according to the International Air Transport Association.
Fuel typically marks airlines’ priciest line item, a cost they largely pass on to consumers.
“I would expect airfares — most definitely in comparison to what they were in 2020 and 2021 — will be higher. We’ll see how they compare to 2019,” said former Air Canada chief operating officer Duncan Dee in an interview.
Of the 18 cities highlighted by StatCan, average gas prices in May notched highest in Vancouver and Victoria at $2.20 per litre and $2.17 per litre respectively. Quebec City and Montreal took third and fourth place, sitting between $2.05 and $2.07.
Alberta and Saskatchewan enjoyed the lowest regular unleaded gas prices with Edmonton at $1.63, Calgary at $1.67 and Regina and Saskatoon hitting $1.81.
Premier Jason Kenney cut Alberta’s 13 cent provincial excise tax on gasoline on April 1 and said it will stay gone as long as the global benchmark price for oil is above US$90 a barrel.
Energy could get costlier still, with Toronto-Dominion Bank chief economist Beata Caranci projecting crude oil price increases will rise even higher in the third quarter than the second-quarter average of US$110 per barrel, before tapering of toward US$100 by year’s end.
In a report Wednesday, she said a “reduced fear premium, some demand destruction and modestly higher global supply” would drive the eventual decrease.
Much of the price climb owes to supply-chain disruptions brought on by the pandemic and now the war in Ukraine, as the conflict shrinks the global pool of oil available to the West and sucks some away from North America to European shores, said Ian Jack, vice-president of public affairs for the Canadian Automobile Association.
“There’s a lot of speculation and we think that’s driving up the price as well,” he said in an interview.
Consumers and workers will bear the brunt of the price bump.
“You might choose to stay home this summer instead of driving across North America for two weeks … but a lot of people need to drive on a daily basis because of their work, because of daycare, summer camp now that it’s the end of June, and to do their shopping.”
In a recent survey, some 71 per cent of respondents said rising gas prices and inflation generally have made them less likely to travel for leisure this year.
Nonetheless, 54 per cent of respondents plan to take a road trip this summer, according to the online poll of 1,000 Canadians conducted in May by Ignite Lab for Rakuten Canada, a rewards points company.
High gas prices can be further pinned on “years of underinvestment” at home by energy producers, said Robert Fitzmartyn, managing director and head of energy research at Stifel FirstEnergy in Calgary.
“The carbon tax isn’t even at $170 a tonne yet. So prepare for higher prices,” he said in an interview.

McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — The Department of Homeland Security is working with a technology company to equip agents on the border and at land and air checkpoints with portable 3D X-ray machines that can be used in the field to evaluate suspicious packages, the agency says.
This “cutting-edge screening equipment” will keep the public safer “and keep security lines moving,” according to an article published on the agency’s Science and Technology division.
The compact 3D X-ray scanners are being developed with the help of Xoran Technologies LLC.
“DHS staff and first responders in the field need imaging capabilities that will enable them to safely, effectively, and efficiently scan and detect hidden explosive devices, such as bombs or improvised explosive devices (IED), that can be easily concealed in a small container or bag,” Science and Technology Program Manager Karen “Maua” Johnson said. “The 3D X-ray could potentially help us meet this critical security need by greatly enhancing the ability of our frontline operators to find and intercept these dangerous devices before they can be used to harm the general public.”
The equipment combines 2D and 3D computed tomography (CT) imaging that can detect explosive devices and other illegal material without having to open the packages and put first responders at risk.
The size of a roller bag and weighing 70 pounds, these devices could be used in the field via remote-controlled robots or manually put over an object, like a backpack lying on the ground.
Prototypes are still being tested and should be delivered to the agency by the end of September where the devices will be used by in pilot tests in the field, the agency said.
Xoran also produces X-ray machines used in veterinarian offices. | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/border-report/portable-3d-x-ray-units-being-developed-for-border-agents/ | 2022-06-23T00:10:02Z | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/border-report/portable-3d-x-ray-units-being-developed-for-border-agents/ | false | 15 |
BMW has officially unveiled the M3 Touring - the first ever estate version of its legendary M3 sporting saloon.
The practical performance model will make its dynamic debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where crowds will get their first glimpse of the car that the world has been waiting 36 years for.
The most obvious visual difference is, of course, the estate back end of the car, where you’ll find 500 litres of storage space - just like a regular 3 Series Touring. However, the rest of the car is also subtly different, measuring 85mm longer, 76mm wider and 4mm lower than the standard car and adorned with plenty of M Division aero features. These include larger air intakes, flared wheel arches, extended side skirts, a bespoke roof spoiler and a deep front splitter beneath the gloss black kidney grille.
Mixed-size wheels fill the arches, with 19-inch double-spoke rims at the front and 20-inchers at the rear. Standard fit are gloss black affairs but a bi-colour diamond effect can be added as an option.
The M3 Touring will be offered in a single Competition xDrive specification featuring all-wheel-drive and an eight-speed automatic gearbox as standard - there is no manual option. Powering the car is a twin-turbo 3.0-litre straight six engine with 503bhp and 479lb ft of torque. BMW says that gives the M3 Touring a 0-62mph time of 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 155mph. An optional M Driver’s Package will allow this to be raised to 174mph.
Under the skin, the chassis, suspension and bracing have been specifically tuned for the estate body and a range of driving modes allow the owner to adjust suspension, drivetrain and engine settings for different driving conditions, including locking the car in rear-wheel-drive mode.
There are also track-focused software systems that will track your lap times and even analyse your drifting skills.
Inside, there are numerous M-specific design touches, while the leather-trimmed and heated M Sport seats fitted as standard feature multi-way adjustment. There is the option to replace these for M Carbon bucket seat. All cars get the latest BMW display array, featuring a curved 14.9-inch infotainment screen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument display.
Bringing the versatility of the standard Touring, the M3 features a 500-litre boot that can be expanded up to 1,510 litres. A powered tailgate with split opening is standard and powered folding of the 40:20:40 split rear seats is available as part of an options pack that also features rubberised anti-slip rails that rise up from the boot floor after the tailgate has been closed.
The BMW M3 Touring is available to order now starting at £80,550, with deliveries expected to begin in September. | https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/lifestyle/cars/bmw-m3-touring-2022-price-spec-and-performance-for-first-m3-estate-as-configurator-goes-live-3741282 | 2022-06-23T00:17:50Z | https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/lifestyle/cars/bmw-m3-touring-2022-price-spec-and-performance-for-first-m3-estate-as-configurator-goes-live-3741282 | true | 19 |

Pete Arredondo, the Uvalde school district police chief at the time of the Robb Elementary school shooting, has been placed on administrative leave, according to the superintendent.
Dr. Hal Harrell, the superintendent of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District, said Mike Hernandez will assume the duties of the district's chief of police.
"From the beginning of this horrible event, I shared that the district would wait until the investigation was complete before making personnel decisions. Today, I am still without details of the investigations being conducted by various agencies. Because of the lack of clarity that remains and the unknown timing of when I will receive the results of the investigations, I have made the decision to place Chief Arredondo on administrative leave effective on this date," Harrell said in a statement Wednesday.
The Texas Department of Public Safety said Arredondo was the commander in charge during the May 24 school shooting in which 19 children and two teachers were killed. Arredondo, who testified Tuesday at a closed-door hearing of a Texas House committee, has said he didn’t consider himself in charge and assumed someone else had taken control.
Uvalde School Shooting Coverage:
Public outrage has been levied against officials and law enforcement for not doing enough to stop the massacre.
Steve McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said Tuesday that police had enough officers and firepower at the school to stop Ramos three minutes after he entered the building but they instead waited more than an hour before storming the classroom and killing him.

Gov. Reynolds names Des Moines businessman to fill vacancy on Iowa Board of Regents
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Kim ReynoldsAmerican politician
Gov. Kim Reynolds has named James "JC" Risewick to the Iowa Board of Regents, who will succeed the late Milt Dakovich on the governing board of Iowa's public colleges and universities.
Reynolds' office announced the appointment on Tuesday, effective that day.
The appointment, still subject to state Senate confirmation, is intended to fill the vacancy left by Dakovich, who died in February after a long battle with cancer. He was 67.
Dakovich had been the longest-serving member of the Board of Regents, having been first appointed by then Gov. Terry Branstad in 2013 and reappointed for a second term in 2019 by Reynolds. That term would have ended in 2025.
More: Iowa Board of Regents member Milt Dakovich dies at 67; remembered as 'wonderful man'
Reynolds, in a news release, said she was confident that Risewick's "expertise, experience, and innovative mindset will inspire our regent universities in their mission to prepare the next generation of college students to flourish in the workforce."
Risewick is president and chief operating officer of Seneca Companies in Des Moines — a fuel station company that specializes in aspects including fuel systems, construction, automotive equipment, waste solutions and environmental consulting.
His father, Chris Risewick, founded the company in 1972 and JC officially joined in 2006, according to his company profile.
Risewick thanked Reynolds in a statement in the same release from the governor's office.
"I will work diligently with the fellow board members to keep upper education at Iowa’s public universities on the forefront and leading edge of the 21st Century," he said.
He was not immediately available Tuesday for comment.
Risewick volunteers through ChildServe — a pediatric rehabilitation services provider — and Impact Iowa’s Heroes, which supports first responder and military couples.
He is married and has three children.
He was also named a member of the Des Moines Business Record's "Forty Under 40" in the class of 2014, when he was 33.
The "Forty Under 40" profile of Risewick notes that he began his career with Seneca opening a new sales territory in Minnesota, followed by positions including general manager of the company's industrial division and vice president of sales.
He also earned a U.S. Merchant Marine captain's license to pilot a charter boat in southwest Florida for one winter season as one of his first jobs. He has taught children how to sail as an instructor for the Clear Lake Yacht Club Sailing School, according to the profile.

17-year-old Tarasha Benjamin is well-known in her hometown of Selma, Alabama. On the morning of June 26, 2010, Tarasha, nicknamed "Pooh," and a friend left her mother, Regina Benjamin's, house. Tarasha was going to the local flea market and driving her friend’s SUV.
"Tarasha left my house at about 9 to 9:30 a.m. on June 26, 2010, going to the Selma Flea Market. She left with a friend of mine in her truck. They were going to the Flea Market. She goes every Saturday. For some reason, I just felt something, a feeling in my body that something was wrong," her mother, Regina Benjamin, told WSFA.
Regina Benjamin knows pain. In 1996, her 3-year-old and 4-year-old daughters died in a house fire. In 2009, her husband, Tarasha's father, Clyde Chandler, disappeared. His body was eventually found behind a Steak Pit in Selma. What happened to him remains unclear, Regina told WSFA.
Around 11:00 am, the feeling something was wrong became so intense that Regina began calling relatives and Tarasha's friends asking if anyone had seen her or the vehicle, a gray Mazda Tribute, she was driving. One relative remembered seeing the vehicle on the Cecil Jackson Bypass. The truck was found abandoned on the Bypass, about one mile from the flea market. It was facing the opposite direction of the flea market with a broken driver's side door handle and two missing windows.
"It was just sitting on the side of the road. No one was in it. Now I'm thinking something happened," Regina told WSFA. "Stuff was thrown out on the side by it, and we searched and searched. We never found her."
Around 1:00 pm, the friend Tarasha left with and who owned the vehicle came to Regina's house asking where Tarasha and her car were. The friend and Tarasha separated after the pair left Regina's house. The friend was unaware if Tarasha went to the flea market or not.
"She left with a girl that stayed down the street with me, say they were going to the flea market. But the girl came back later without Tarasha, and I haven't seen her since," Regina told WSFA.
Regina became more alarmed and contacted the local police.
"We never found her, and still to this day, we don't know anything. She just vanished, and Selma is a small town. I know there's somebody out there that knows something about my daughter being missing. If it was me and I knew something, I would tell it because I wouldn't want a mother to go through the pain that I go through every day," Regina told WSFA.
Investigators conducted an extensive search for Tarasha. They went door-to-door in Selma, combed wooded areas, and searched bodies of water. Authorities and Regina both believe Tarasha was taken out of Selma.
"Selma, she's not here because we done tore Selma up and down looking for Tarasha Benjamin," Selma Police Department Lead Investigator Ronald Jones told WSFA.
"Somebody is going to tell me something. I just feel it that's why every day I post pictures. I miss her and I'm going to keep looking until she gets here. I don't care how long it takes but she will be coming home," Regina told WSFA.
Tarasha "Pooh" Benjamin is 5'2" and weighed 125 pounds when she vanished.

Houston-area teen pronounced dead in car crash ends up surviving
MISSOURI CITY, Texas - A Houston-area teenager was soaring in high school, taking college courses, making great grades, excelling in sports and band, when the unthinkable happened.
15-year-old Torianto "Junior" Brinson was thrown from a car during a car crash. The vehicle Junior was riding in is a complete loss.
"One minute after it happened, my daughter called me, and she was hysterical. ‘Mom, you need to get here now.’ So, they were literally around the corner from the house. So, we drove on the street. Had to get out of the car, run, and saw him lying there," explains Junior's mom, La'Kisha.
The accident in Missouri City ended up claiming Junior's life…

"There were four emergency services working on him, and he wasn't responding, he wasn't breathing, he wasn't moving, he was just lying there," explains La'Kisha.
Junior was rushed by Life Flight to the Texas Medical Center, where the situation grew even more grim.
"They told us that he was gone, there was nothing they could do, and I remember asking them, 'You're just going to let my baby just sit here?' and they were like, 'There's nothing they can do,'" says an emotional La'Kisha.
That's when she asked family to pray, and she started praying over her son's lifeless body. She begged him to come back.
"I was holding his hand and I prayed and told him, ‘Junior, I need you!’ A minute later, I saw his hand move," exclaims La'Kisha! That movement allowed him to be whisked away for emergency surgery for his traumatic brain injury.
Junior spent several months in semi coma at Memorial Hermann. Finally, the family's dream come true: he made just enough progress to be transferred to TIRR Memorial Hermann.
"He was still having trouble moving around in bed consistently. Getting up and walking was very difficult. It required two people to help him," says physical therapist Dr. Liz Larkin with TIRR Memorial Hermann. "He also struggled – and it's pretty common after an injury like his traumatic brain injury – to have noticed changes in behavior, which we expected. It actually is a good sign! It means he's getting better, but moments of difficulty regulating impulses."
Junior's brain was so severely injured, they had to monitor his stimulation.
"So, the amount of sound and noise and light and things like that, to give him the best opportunity for success," explains Dr. Larkin.
After working with Junior week-after-week at TIRR, she loves seeing how far he has come and is getting to play basketball with him again.

"I made varsity as a freshman," smiles Junior. He has big plans with his skills and dreams of playing in the NBA one day. "I want to play for the Houston Rockets," boasts the talented player.
It's hard for Junior to imagine what he went through. He doesn't remember one thing, not even while in rehab. He says when he hears his mom tell the story, he finds it impressive!
Junior's loving family was by his side every step of the way and says he is beyond worth fighting for.
"My son didn't get in trouble. He went to school, band star since eighth grade, basketball. So I refused to believe that God was going to take his future, even though it didn't look like it. We've even had people tell us he wasn't going to walk or talk, but we believed," states La'Kisha.
Junior even completed high school classes in junior high, plus he was taking college courses in high school, so even though he missed an entire year of high school, he has enough credits to graduate on time.
"It gets hard some days to think about the past, but to see where he is at now, it gives you a little more excitement for him," says one of his biggest supporters, Brian Wells, who even came up with a schedule to make sure Junior completed all his rehabilitation in the comforts of their home.

While Junior learned and overcame a lot at TIRR Memorial Hermann, his medical team gave his family ideas of how to help him continue improving at home.
"We taught him how to brush his teeth, how to take a bath, how to eat," explains La'Kisha. "I'm a teacher, so I began to teach him fourth grade work, teach him how to comprehend what he reads again and comprehend math."
They helped him do everything until he could function on his own, and now he's doing it all well, like his slam dunks!
Junior is taking some summer courses and has now caught back up to level courses, thanks to all the love and work through TIRR Memorial Hermann and his family. | https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/houston-missouri-city-teen-killed-car-accident-survives | 2022-06-23T00:59:18Z | https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/houston-missouri-city-teen-killed-car-accident-survives | true | 12 |
Briana Scurry’s U.S. national soccer team jersey is at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture in a permanent display that notes the contribution of Title IX to leveling the playing field.
The law helped paved the way for the Black goalkeeper to knock down barriers with her talent, determination and grit, amassing a long list of honors in what was a predominantly white sport.
“When the curators of the National Museum of African American History and Culture contacted us I remember thinking this can’t be real — because the reason is I didn’t realize that my body of work in soccer and my advocating for TBI (traumatic brain injury) and gay rights was actually making that big of an impact in my community to the point where I’d be worthy of being in this museum,” she said.
Scurry, 50, has a World Cup title, two Olympic gold medals and was the first Black woman to be inducted in the National Soccer Hall of Fame.
It’s a draw-dropping resume, one that is even more impressive considering Scurry’s complex journey.
She has faced challenges as an openly gay Black woman in what was a predominately white sport. There were hardly any players who looked like her when she stepped on the sport’s biggest stage; today the US national soccer team’s roster features eight women of color.
Scurry reflected on her career in the memoir, “My Greatest Save: The Brave, Barrier-Breaking Journey of a World Champion Goalkeeper” released this month — fitting for Thursday’s 50th anniversary of Title IX.
The world champion benefitted from scholarship dollars the law brought to women’s sports — it was the only way she could attend college. She was also fortunate to have advocates who lifted her up, from coach Pete Swenson who secretly paid the fees for her elite youth team in Minnesota, to the woman — later her wife — who helped her emerge from a brain injury that dimmed her spirit for three years.
But Scurry’s perseverance landed her on the national team in 1994 and she played 173 games for her country during a career that spanned 14 years.
Her defining moment was the 1999 World Cup final at the Rose Bowl. The game against China went to penalties and Scurry’s shootout save set up Brandi Chastain’s winning kick. The jersey Scurry wore is the one on display in the Smithsonian.
Scurry remembers the moment vividly. Normally for PKs she followed a strict routine, turning her focus inward and prowling the goal “like a big cat” while avoiding the glare of her opponent.
“For some reason, and to this day I can’t explain it, on that third kicker, something in my mind said `Look,′ and so I looked at her and I could see her shoulders were sloped and she was kind of walking with a little slight jog and she just really didn’t seem like she was confident. And I read that whole thing in that glance and I’m like `This is the one.′
“So before I walked into the goal I knew I was saving this one.”
Then 13 years after that glorious moment, Scurry became embroiled in controversy during the 2007 World Cup.
Coach Greg Ryan decided to start the veteran goalie over Hope Solo in the semifinal match against Brazil. The United States lost 4-0, and Solo publicly criticized the decision, essentially blaming Scurry for the loss.
“I think the silver lining was my teammates, who supported me. I really respected what the women’s national team stood for, and what she did was way outside the bounds and an anomaly — taking it outside of the house,” Scurry said of Solo. “I also learned how to forgive someone — that was really what it was — learning how to forgive someone that clearly I felt betrayed me.”
But the real drama in Scurry’s life would come years later, while she was playing for her professional team, the Washington Freedom. During a game with the Philadelphia Independence, Scurry took a knee to the head.
Diagnosed with a concussion, she was only expected to be out for a few days. But for the next three-plus years, she struggled with constant headaches, vertigo, light sensitivity and memory lapses. An experimental surgical procedure that removed two tangled balls of nerves from the back of her head finally brought her back.
“I felt completely unplugged from what I liked to do before and all these different things. People describe depression in that way: You’re not into the things you used to be into anymore, you isolate, you withdraw, and you have low energy,” she said. “I mean, it’s literally like unplugging, that’s how it felt to me.”
From that dark period emerged a light: She met Chryssa Zizos, the head of a Washington D.C. public relations firm. Zizos helped Scurry buy back her Olympic gold medals, which she had pawned, and put her on the road to recovery.
They fell in love. In 2018, the couple married.
“My head, that started the whole thing, right? So isn’t that isn’t that amazing? And that’s the beauty: I’ve learned to find that silver lining in everything. That’s such a cliche thing to say, but when it comes to concrete, horrible things, that at the time I felt was the worst thing ever, it ended up being the start of something amazing,” she said.
“Yeah, it’s all in how you look at it.”

Difference between revisions of "Gushungo Dairy"
Revision as of 11:50, 20 June 2022
Gushungo Dairy was a milk processing company located at Gushungo Dairy Estate (formerly known as Foyle Farm) in Mazowe. The plant was built after 80 newly resettled farmers were forcibly removed from farms in the Mazowe area in January 2012. [1] Products made included ice cream and yoghurt, traded under the name Alpha and Omega.
Property
The estate was formerly known as Foyle Farm was 1 200 hectares. It was transferred by the Agricultural and Rural Development Authority (Arda) to the Ministry of Agriculture. Later it was taken by former president Robert Mugabe. A dairy plant was set up at Mazowe - over eighty newly resettled farmers were forcibly removed to free up the space.
Gushungo Dairy equipment was imported from South Africa for about US$15 million. The company, Alpha Omega Dairy (Pvt) Ltd, produced milk, yogurt, cheese and ice cream. At its peak, the firm produced over 400 000 litres of milk per month. [2]
Events
Attempted Bombing
It is alleged that in January 2016, police received a tip-off that Kuchata, Ngwenya, Makumbe and Pfupa were planning to bomb Alpha Omega Dairy’s processing plant and tuck shop during the night. Acting on the tip-off, the police proceeded to the farm and laid an ambush about 100 metres from the quartet’s target. Around 10pm, the detectives saw the men approaching the dairy’s processing plant and immediately arrested them. They searched them and recovered four Molotov cocktails (bombs) made of petrol, ammonium nitrate, nails and sand in 750 millilitres Chateau brand empty bottles.
Owen Kuchata and accomplices Solomon Makumbe, Borman Ngwenya and Silas Pfupa were arrested for attempting to petrol-bomb Alpha Omega Dairy farm in Mazowe. Makumbe and Pfupa were discharged on the charges at the behest of then Prosecutor General Johannes Tomana who was arrested for acting unlawfully by releasing the duo and was released on $1 000 bail with stringent conditions.
Kuchata pleaded guilty to trying to petrol bombing the dairy when he appeared before regional magistrate Mr Hoseah Mujaya in February 2016. Mr Mujaya asked if he had the right to do so and Kuchata in response said:
“Since I am representing the rights of other Zimbabweans, I had the right to bomb his private property because Robert Mugabe is causing disorder and problems in this country.”
He said he is the one who gave Ngwenya $36 to purchase the materials for making the petrol bombs. Kuchata later accepted the charge of terrorism, arguing that Alpha Omega Dairy was not a Government property, but Robert Mugabe]’s private property, hence the terrorism charge did not stick.
Prosecutor Mr Michael Reza maintained that terrorism charges were appropriate, saying the attack was not targeted at the dairy as an outfit, but at the office of the Presidency of Zimbabwe. Kuchata said if that was the case then he was denying the charges and this prompted Mr Mujaya to change the plea to not guilty.
On the terrorism charge, Makumbe and Pfupa were released before plea under the instructions of Tomana who is said to have unilaterally suggested that the two be treated as witnesses.
Closure
In June 2022, Gushungo Dairy ceased operations. The company had a US$20 million debt, forcing them sell some equipment. Grace Mugabe then sold about 700 dairy cows worth approximately S$1,4 million. Some 120 workers became unemployed. It is said that as a millionaire businessman is renting the farm, but operations have not started.
Reports are that a 1 000 pig and 6 000 chicken project at Kutamba village home, suffered a natural death as Grace neglected the projects. After the November 2017 coup, it was revealed that the Mugabe business portfolio included 21 farms, according to a government commissioned land audit. Despite the one-man-one-farm land policy of the government. [2]

COLLEGE STATION, Texas—The Texas fire environment will support increased wildfire activity through the weekend, as hot and dry conditions persist across the state.
Above normal temperatures and minimal rainfall is forecast for the third week in a row due to a period of high pressure that is impacting the state. Accelerated drying in vegetation, resulting from widespread triple digit temperatures and dry air, begins Thursday and will continue through the weekend.
Elevated fire weather, including triple digit temperatures, low relative humidity and wind speeds near 15 mph, will support an increased potential for significant wildfires that may directly impact communities where dry to critically dry vegetation is present.
Elevated fire weather, including triple digit temperatures, low relative humidity and wind speeds near 15 mph, will support an increased potential for significant wildfires that may directly impact communities where dry to critically dry vegetation is present.
“The dryness we are currently seeing across portions of the state is, generally, what we would be experiencing in mid to late July,” said Brad Smith, Texas A&M Forest Service Predictive Services Department Head. “The drought that has been carried over from the spring into the summer has initiated an early start to summer fire season. Early summer drying in June also introduces the possibility of experiencing a severe late summer fire season.
This year, wildfire activity has trended above normal for acres burned and number of fire responses. State and local fire resources have responded to an average of 4,047 wildfires for 188,259 acres over the past 5 years. In 2022, firefighters have already responded to 5,047 wildfires that have burned 527,241 acres across the state.
Many recent wildfire starts have required more time and resources to fully contain due to current conditions.
“State and local first responders have been incredibly busy this year without much reprieve and forecast conditions indicate that we may be facing a very busy summer season as well,” said Wes Moorehead, Texas A&M Forest Service Fire Chief. “We urge Texans to be cautious and prevent wildfire ignitions this summer.”
Texas A&M Forest Service is monitoring the current situation closely and has positioned personnel and equipment across the state for a quick and effective response to any requests for assistance.
Fully staffed task forces and additional suppression equipment are staged across the state in anticipation of increased activity. Additionally, 187 personnel from other states are currently in Texas to support wildfire response efforts.
Nineteen aviation resources are staged in state, including one large air tanker and nine single engine air tankers.
Stay wildfire aware. If a wildfire is spotted, immediately contact local authorities. A quick response can help save lives and property.

Texas A&M Forest Service does not own any aviation resources but instead uses federal aviation contracts through the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management for all firefighting aircraft.

Spain, Germany battle wildfires amid unusual heat wave
Firefighters in Spain and Germany struggled to contain wildfires on Sunday amid a heat wave in Western Europe that is unusual for this time of year.
The worst damage in Spain has been in the northwest province of Zamora, where more than 61,000 acres have been consumed, regional authorities said, while German officials said that residents of three villages near Berlin were ordered to leave their homes because of an approaching wildfire Sunday.
Spanish authorities said that after three days of high temperatures, high winds and low humidity, some respite came with dropping temperatures Sunday morning. That allowed for about 650 firefighters supported by water-dumping aircraft to establish a perimeter around the fire that started in Zamora’s Sierra de la Culebra. Authorities warned there was still danger that an unfavorable shift in weather could revive the blaze that caused the evacuation of 18 villages.
Spain has been on alert for an outbreak of intense wildfires as the country swelters under record temperatures for June. Experts link the abnormally hot period to climate change . Thermometers have risen above 104 degrees in many Spanish cities throughout the week — temperatures usually expected in August.
A lack of rainfall this year combined with gusting winds have produced the conditions for the fires.
Authorities said that crews faced tough conditions, with wind gusts of up to 43 mph, changing course erratically, combined with high temperatures.
“The fire was able to cross a reservoir some 500 meters wide and reach the other side, to give you an idea of the difficulties we faced,” Juan Suárez-Quiñones, an official for Castilla y León region, told Spanish state television TVE.
The fire in Zamora was started by a strike from an electrical storm on Wednesday, authorities said. The spreading fire caused the high-speed train service from Madrid to Spain’s northwest to be cut on Saturday. It was reestablished on Sunday morning.
Military firefighting units have been deployed in Zamora, Navarra and Lleida.
There have been no reports of lives lost, but the flames reached the outskirts of some villages both in Zamora and in Navarra. Videos shot by passengers in cars showed flames licking the sides of roads. In other villages, residents looked on in despair as black plumes rose from nearby hills.
In central-north Navarra, authorities have evacuated some 15 small villages as a precaution. High temperatures in the area are not expected to drop until Wednesday.
They also asked farmers to stop using heavy machinery that could unintentionally spark a fire.
“The situation remains delicate. We have various active fires due to the extremely high temperatures and high winds,” Navarra regional Vice President Javier Remírez told TVE.
Remírez said that some villages had seen some buildings damaged on their outskirts.
Some wild animals had to be evacuated from an animal park in Navarra and taken to a bull ring for safekeeping, authorities said.
Wildfires were also active in three parts of northeast Catalonia: in Lleida, in Tarragona and in a nature park in Garaf, just south of Barcelona.
Firefighters said that 6,600 acres were scorched in Lleida. They added that they have responded to more than 200 different wildfires just in Catalonia over the last week.
In Germany, strong winds have been fanning a blaze about 31 miles southwest of Berlin, prompting officials to declare an emergency Saturday.
Villagers in Frohnsdorf, Tiefenbrunnen and Klausdorf were told to immediately seek shelter at a community center in the nearby town of Treuenbrietzen.
“This is not a drill,” town officials tweeted.
Germany has seen numerous wildfires in recent days after a period of intense heat and little rain.
The country’s national weather agency said the mercury topped 100.4 at some measuring stations in the east on Sunday.
Thunderstorms were forecast to bring cooler weather in from the west from the evening onward.

Dallas City Council gives green light to two new downtown buildings
DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Dallas' iconic skyline is growing.
The Dallas City Council voted Wednesday afternoon to give tax breaks to developers.
Hunt Realty wants to build an 80-story building on a 11-acre lot sandwiched between the American Airlines Center and the Perot Museum. The main tenant would be Goldman Sachs.
It would make it the tallest building in Dallas. The Bank of America Plaza was built in 1985 and ever since has been the tallest building in Dallas. They asked for about $17 million in tax breaks.
City leaders said it would bring in 5,000 jobs paying at least $90,000.
The second project is right next to city hall, called One Newpark and will be 38-stories high. It would be a mix of office space, hotels, retail, and apartments. The developers, One Newpark want a little over $96 million dollars in tax abatements.
On Wednesday, the city council gave the green light for the Goldman Sachs building.
Councilman Tennell Atkins touts the economic benefits this would bring to the city.
"I think you look at the property value, billions of dollars of property value, millions of dollars of permits but also jobs, tens of thousands of jobs and that's what the city will build on, the sales tax, the housing now we have to build more housing," Atkins said.
Those who live and work ear the proposed lot, have mostly positive views of the changing skyline.
"The skyline of Dallas is one of the most amazing things people have tattoos, even have stickers on their car," said Kaela Lewis, who works in Victory Park.
"The density is good to see, anytime we're growing like this it's good to see," said Tyler Speakman.
City officials said the developments could have groundbreakings later this year or in early 2023.
"I'm okay with the density as long as doesn't impact the local traffic and I think that's exactly what's going to happen," said Debra Welch, who lives near the property.

Roger Bannister’s name is well-known in track and field circles. He’s the first person to run a mile in less than four minutes. It’s been 68 years since he clocked a 3:59.4 in Oxford, England.
Less well-known is the first 3-minute mile. It happened here, in Los Angeles, on July 24, 1966. The time of 2:59.6 is not sacred, mainly because it took four men – Robert Frey, Lee Evans, Tommie Smith and Theron Lewis – to hand off a baton in that time in the 1,600-meter relay at the International Games.
We don’t often think about the overlaps between track and baseball, but the pitching rubber really is akin to a starting block. The nine-inning game makes for an odd sort of race, in which participants hand off the baton as frequently or infrequently as they like, at intervals of their choosing. Or they can throw a complete game – no baton necessary.
These parallels came into sharp focus this week, when Major League Baseball finally instituted a 13-pitcher limit on active rosters. The rule had been under discussion for more than a year. MLB delayed instituting the limit twice since the regular season began. As of Monday, eight-man bullpens will be no less standard than five-man rotations. It’s the closest thing baseball has to limiting the number of participants in a relay race.
Among fans – even some veteran industry folks – there still exists a degree of resistance to the concept of pitching-as-relay-race. Complete games remain an official statistic, though their usefulness as a descriptor expired long ago. Pitchers simply don’t throw complete games anymore. (There have been 11 complete games this season through Tuesday; 21 of the 30 teams haven’t authored one.)
And why should they? The disparity between the record times in the mile and the mile relay races are telling. Why should a coach deploy only one runner, if he has the option of using four and shaving a minute off his time?
But how good of an analogy is this to pitching a complete game and dividing nine innings evenly between a starting pitcher and three relievers?
Here’s what we know. A pitcher’s efficacy diminishes every time the opposing lineup turns over. Starters are allowing a .694 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) the first time facing a hitter in a game in 2022. The second time, the hitter’s OPS rises to .711. The third time through the order, it’s .770. This effect is well-documented. It regularly informs every manager’s in-game decision-making.
Where this gets interesting, I think, is when comparing starters to relievers. Relievers are holding hitters to a .686 OPS the first time they meet in a game, and .725 the second time. You can see the traditional effect in action: relief pitchers are just a bit better than starters the first time through a lineup, and just a bit worse the second time.
Now compare these splits to 10 years ago. In 2012, starters held hitters to a .712 OPS the first time through the batting order and .743 the second time. For relievers, it was .694 the first time through and .780 the second time (which was rare).
There’s a trend line there, and it points to the dissolution of strengths between starters and relievers. The two cohorts are more similar now than they were a decade ago. Relievers are a little more comfortable facing a lineup twice. This change was in motion even before the effective eight-man bullpen limit, which should only make multi-inning relievers more coveted by contending teams.
What’s going on here?
The answer involves both in-game strategy and offseason roster building. It’s a response to the shifting currents underlying the art and science of pitching itself.
Pitchers have long been encouraged to throw for shorter and shorter intervals – the relay-race approach to nine innings. As a result, they are able to throw harder each time out. This led to more injuries, which led to larger pitching staffs, which led, finally, to MLB instituting a three-batter minimum and 13-pitcher roster limits.
The net effect of these rules is that starters and relievers are going to be harder to differentiate in the future.
“I think that moving forward in baseball, the starters will throw shorter, the relievers will throw longer, and that’s kind of going to be the way that it is,” Josh Bard, the Dodgers’ pitching coach, told me Saturday. “You’re going to have your unicorn starters that go three times through the lineup. Those guys are really good. But those guys cost $35 million a year. And that’s the reality of it. If that guy breaks – which happens when you’re a starter – teams are starting to figure out, do we want to allot resources into three bullpen guys who can throw multiple innings?”
Here’s the problem with those three bullpen guys who can throw multiple innings: they might be better suited to the task of completing a baseball game, but they will never become household names. Just ask Robert Frey, Lee Evans, Tommie Smith* and Theron Lewis.
(*Smith won a Gold Medal at the 1968 Summer Olympics in the 200-meter dash. You know this because, when he was presented with his medal on the podium, he raised his right fist while wearing a black glove. That made him a household name, but you catch my drift.)
Roger Bannister is the equivalent of a $35-million-a-year starter. His is the household name. Limiting the size of bullpens would, in theory, make the starter’s skillset more valuable. In practice, it might merely encourage a different kind of nine-inning relay race: five innings from the starter, four from the reliever. Or three, three and three. Or three, two, two and two.
It’s an interesting precipice facing the sport. It might turn pitching into more of a team activity than baseball has ever seen. | https://www.pe.com/2022/06/22/hoornstra-how-pitching-became-a-relay-race-unlike-any-mlb-has-ever-seen/ | 2022-06-23T01:09:49Z | https://www.pe.com/2022/06/22/hoornstra-how-pitching-became-a-relay-race-unlike-any-mlb-has-ever-seen/ | true | 10 |
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — A vacant plot of former highway land in Providence could become a corporate financial services headquarters with apartments or a mixed-use luxury condo building.
Two developers pitched their ideas Wednesday night to the I-195 Redevelopment District Commission for Parcels 8 and 8A, a section of land at the corner of South Main and Pike streets, in between the current I-195 and the new apartment-grocery project that’s currently under construction.
One of the developers, Jordan Durham of D+P Real Estate, says he’s already secured a company that wants to build their corporate headquarters on the land, which would employ 150 workers. He declined to identify the company, but told 12 News it’s a financial services firm with “significant roots” in Rhode Island, and is owned by a publicly traded company.
About half of the proposed $50 million development would be occupied by the 65,000-square-foot corporate headquarters with a ground-floor café, while the other half would consist of 69 apartments, 26% of which would be “workforce housing” below market rate, Durham said. The project would have 169 parking spaces for both the corporate workers and the residential tenants.
D+P Real Estate is also the developer constructing the apartment-grocery building next door, which Durham said is opening in October. (The grocery tenant is widely expected to be a Trader Joe’s, though neither Durham nor Trader Joe’s has officially confirmed the news.)
The other developer, Richard Baccari II of Churchill & Banks, is proposing a $77 million mixed-use condo development with both commercial and retail tenants. The 10-story condo building, which Baccari described as an “upscale living opportunity” would include 52 units, and the project would include 278 parking spaces.
Baccari said the larger number of parking spaces would serve not only the tenants in the new building, but also tenants in the adjacent apartment building at 580 South Water St., which the firm also owns. He said it could provide some public parking for the area once the grocery store opens next door, as well.
Baccari told 12 News he has one local tech company lined up for the office space in the building, and said the firm has 15 employees but is looking to expand to 50 workers. Another commercial tenant and two restaurants are also interested, he said. He declined to name any of the businesses.
“Once the bid is awarded to us I would be willing to talk to Mr. Durham’s tenant,” Baccari joked, referring to the undisclosed corporate headquarters.
He said the proposal includes condos for sale — rather than rental units — because of high demand for properties to buy in Providence. He noted a large number of rental apartments have already been approved for construction in the area.
While the 195 Commission’s original goal was to create a science, technology, medical and educational hub on the old highway land, the most recent sales have been plots for apartment buildings.
This time around, for Parcels 8 and 8A, the commission included a requirement that the project have at least 25,000 square feet of commercial space.
Caroline Skuncik, the executive director of the 195 District, said the commission also for the first time required a minimum sale price of $3 million. Prior plots of land have sold for much less; Parcel 6, the apartment-grocery store right next to Parcel 8, sold for just $100,000.
Target 12 reported last fall the sluggish sales meant the state had only recouped $1 million of the $43 million borrowed to purchase the land when the highway was moved.
195 Commission chairman Bob Davis said public comment on the two proposals for Parcels 8/8A would be accepted at the commission’s July meeting, when there will also be a presentation from the commission’s consultants and a report on parking and traffic.

Soaring gas prices fuelled the largest rise in the annual inflation rate in four decades last month, Statistics Canada says — with further increases anticipated.
In May, customers paid 48 per cent more at the pump than a year earlier as a result of high crude oil prices, caused in turn by supply bottlenecks after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and a leap in demand prompted by eased COVID-19 restrictions.
The price of gasoline jumped 12 per cent between April and May, the largest one-month price increase since January 2003, the agency said Wednesday. That surge helped propel last month’s 34.8 per cent rise in energy prices year over year.
Gas prices are expected to rise another five per cent in June, projected Bank of Montreal chief economist Douglas Porter.
“In other words, we have a problem,” he said in a research note.
“While energy will shoulder much of the blame for the latest spike, it’s important to note that many measures of core inflation are now at or near five per cent, so this is well beyond a one-off move that will quickly fade even if oil prices relent.”
Services, which are driven mainly by domestic forces, are now up 5.2 per cent year over year, Porter noted.
The cost of consumer items as a whole rose 7.7 per cent last month compared with a year ago, its largest increase since January 1983 when it gained 8.2 per cent, StatCan said.
Higher oil prices have also pushed up jet fuel’s price tag. The figure hit US$176.13 per barrel in North America on Friday, up 17 per cent from a month earlier and 126 per cent from a year ago, according to the International Air Transport Association.
Fuel typically marks airlines’ priciest line item, a cost they largely pass on to consumers.
“I would expect airfares — most definitely in comparison to what they were in 2020 and 2021 — will be higher. We’ll see how they compare to 2019,” said former Air Canada chief operating officer Duncan Dee in an interview.
Of the 18 cities highlighted by StatCan, average gas prices in May notched highest in Vancouver and Victoria at $2.20 per litre and $2.17 per litre respectively. Quebec City and Montreal took third and fourth place, sitting between $2.05 and $2.07.
Alberta and Saskatchewan enjoyed the lowest regular unleaded gas prices with Edmonton at $1.63, Calgary at $1.67 and Regina and Saskatoon hitting $1.81.
Premier Jason Kenney cut Alberta’s 13 cent provincial excise tax on gasoline on April 1 and said it will stay gone as long as the global benchmark price for oil is above US$90 a barrel.
Energy could get costlier still, with Toronto-Dominion Bank chief economist Beata Caranci projecting crude oil price increases will rise even higher in the third quarter than the second-quarter average of US$110 per barrel, before tapering of toward US$100 by year’s end.
In a report Wednesday, she said a “reduced fear premium, some demand destruction and modestly higher global supply” would drive the eventual decrease.
Much of the price climb owes to supply-chain disruptions brought on by the pandemic and now the war in Ukraine, as the conflict shrinks the global pool of oil available to the West and sucks some away from North America to European shores, said Ian Jack, vice-president of public affairs for the Canadian Automobile Association.
“There’s a lot of speculation and we think that’s driving up the price as well,” he said in an interview.
Consumers and workers will bear the brunt of the price bump.
“You might choose to stay home this summer instead of driving across North America for two weeks … but a lot of people need to drive on a daily basis because of their work, because of daycare, summer camp now that it’s the end of June, and to do their shopping.”
In a recent survey, some 71 per cent of respondents said rising gas prices and inflation generally have made them less likely to travel for leisure this year.
Nonetheless, 54 per cent of respondents plan to take a road trip this summer, according to the online poll of 1,000 Canadians conducted in May by Ignite Lab for Rakuten Canada, a rewards points company.
High gas prices can be further pinned on “years of underinvestment” at home by energy producers, said Robert Fitzmartyn, managing director and head of energy research at Stifel FirstEnergy in Calgary.
“The carbon tax isn’t even at $170 a tonne yet. So prepare for higher prices,” he said in an interview.

WASHINGTON — Have extra cash in your wallet? You can now use it to fund your Lyft rides.
On Wednesday, the rideshare company announced a new payment system that allows customers to pre-load their Lyft accounts with cash in order to pay for car rides, bikes and scooters. That means you won't actually be paying your driver directly in cash.
Under the new system, users can visit one of 35,000 partner retail locations across the country including Walmart, Walgreens and Family Dollar. There, you'll take out your Lyft app while at the cash register and show the cashier a barcode associated with your account, and the cashier can then add your desired amount of money to your Lyft balance.
“Lyft is committed to making sure more people have access to affordable, reliable transportation, and we can help achieve that by expanding payment methods for our services, said Kaushik Subramanian, Vice President of Enterprise Platforms at Lyft. "We know cash is the primary form of payment for many people, and we hope this helps people get where they need to go more easily.”
According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, 7.1 million American households in 2019 did not use a bank or had limited access to traditional financial services, and this limited access has disproportionately impacted communities of color.
“We’re excited that Lyft is working to expand the accessibility to transportation across the country, specifically for the cash-preferred and unbanked population who have often faced roadblocks when it comes to getting where they need to go," said Antoine Holman, NAACP Vice President of Corporate Relations.
The system does come with certain requirements, including a $30 minimum deposit in order to ensure that rides can be paid for. Additionally, customers who wish to use a Lyft scooter or bike will need to have an additional alternative payment method, such as a credit card, attached to their account in order to rent the vehicles. | https://www.whas11.com/article/news/nation-world/lyft-unveils-cash-payment-system/507-cafdae87-1f24-450d-a236-22e8abfa8a17 | 2022-06-23T01:18:41Z | https://www.whas11.com/article/news/nation-world/lyft-unveils-cash-payment-system/507-cafdae87-1f24-450d-a236-22e8abfa8a17 | true | 14 |
Florida woman shoots dead neighbor, 26, who broke into her house, stood over her bed as she slept and attacked her
- Woman woke to find a neighbor in her bedroom, standing over her
- A struggle ensued and the homeowner managed to call 911 and grab a gun
- She fired a single round fatally striking 26-year-old Justin Wright
- The woman had only recently moved into her home and she is not believed to have known her neighbor particularly well
- Police are looking into the circumstances surrounding the home invasion
A Florida woman awoke to find a man hovering over her bed and shot him dead.
The incident happened on Tuesday morning in Clearwater when the homeowner found a neighbor, 26-year-old Justin Wright, had broken into her home.
The woman said that Wright began attacking her and a struggle ensued during which time she was able to call 911 for the police to come.
During the attack, the woman was also able to reach for a legally held shotgun and fatally shot Wright.
Woman awoke to find a neighbor in her bedroom, standing over her, at her Clearwater home
Police are looking into the circumstances surrounding the home invasion
Clearwater police are now investigating the incident but believe it to be a simple case of self-defense.
Clearwater Police Chief Dan Slaughter spoke at a news conference on Wednesday to explain how the woman had recently moved into her home, although it remains unclear exactly how well the couple knew one another.
Slaughter said the victim had injuries that were consistent with a struggle.
Wright did not have a criminal history and the motive for him entering the woman's home and how he did still remains murky.
Police are trying to understand what kind of relationship the pair may have had and what their encounters had been like in the days leading up to the break-in.

Police believe there may have been an encounter between the pair ahead of the shooting.
Chief Slaughter was asked how the woman was doing since the incident.
'Good people don't want to have to do this kind of thing to protect themselves so she's upset,' Slaughter said.
Another neighbor, Mary Daddario, told ABC Action News that her sympathies lay with the woman that had to pull the trigger.
'It is scary and I've talked to the rest of my neighbors and now they're uncomfortable just to know that somebody would come in your house like that,'Daddario said.
'That's something that you can't over because that's a shock. It's an invasion you're going to not ever feel comfortable anymore and I'm sure she's going to go through some sort of mental thing in her mind because of what happened. That's going to play over and over in her mind,' she added.

Due to dry and drought-like conditions, the Anderson County Commissioners Court issued a 90-day burn ban during a special called meeting Wednesday, June 22.
In Texas, local governments have the authority to take such action to protect residents. When drought conditions threaten public safety, a county judge or commissioners can impose a ban, or restrictions, on outdoor burning.
Officials could lift the ban, if the county gets a lot of moisture. The next predicted chance of rain is Friday, July 1.
The ban cannot be extended, but another ban can be imposed.
Violating the ban ordinance constitutes a Class C misdemeanor, punishable by a fine not to exceed $500.
During the meeting, the Commissioners also approved:
• the consent agenda items including budget amendments, the payment of bills, utility crossings, and minutes from the June 6 meeting,
• an addendum to the contract between Anderson County and 84 East Volunteer Fire Department, for a one-time allotment of $50,000 for equipment, supplies and repair of existing equipment, to be paid with American Rescue Plan Act Funds,
• the annual contact between Anderson County and Slocum Volunteer Fire Department,
• a commercial trailer lease agreement between Anderson County and Brazos Trailer Manufacturing, LLC, for the lease of a 2023 Brazos Belly Dump Truck for Precinct 1 Road and Bridge Department,
• a transfer of an Interstate Trailer from Precinct 4 Road and Bridge Department to Precinct 2 Road and Bridge Department, for a price of $8,000 to come out of Capital Outlay,
• the purchase of four stun cuffs and two extra transmitters from Myers Enterprise, in the amount of $11,550, for the Sheriff’s Office to be used in prisoner transports,
• the purchase of 37 JPX pepper guns, for deputies, Jail Sergeants and bailiffs from B.C. Knight Enterprises, in the amount of $24,015,
• and the purchase of 10 mobile radios from Nalcom Communications in the amount of $22,685.70.
The Commissioners tabled action on approving payment to DACO Fire Equipment for 15 – 4500 PS1/30 Minute Blue Cylinders (full) with a total cost of $10,410 to be paid with American Rescue Plan Act Funds for the 84 East Volunteer Fire Department.
With no further business, the meeting adjourned. | https://www.palestineherald.com/news/commissioners-enact-burn-ban-for-anderson-county/article_1a918956-f261-11ec-82eb-53e08a587669.html | 2022-06-23T01:26:46Z | https://www.palestineherald.com/news/commissioners-enact-burn-ban-for-anderson-county/article_1a918956-f261-11ec-82eb-53e08a587669.html | false | 1 |
A look at what’s happening around the majors today:
—
BACK FROM BLISTER?
Philadelphia slugger Bryce Harper could return to the lineup for the finale of a two-game series at Texas after an infected blister on his left index finger sidelined him for two games last weekend at Washington.
Phillies interim manager Rob Thomson said the infection had improved enough for Harper to be available off the bench in the opener against the Rangers.
A six-time All-Star and this year’s leader in voting for National League DH, Harper entered Tuesday hitting a team-best .326, and his OPS (1.013) was second in the NL to St. Louis’ Paul Goldschmidt.
”When guys DH, they tend to take a lot more swings,” Thomson said. ”I just want to make sure we weren’t going to irritate it.”
SHOHEI STREAK
Shohei Ohtani tries to win three straight starts for the first time this season when the Los Angeles Angels host the Royals.
The reigning AL MVP is 5-4 with a 3.28 ERA in 11 starts, striking out 77 and walking 15 in 60 1/3 innings. The 27-year-old right-hander is coming off a 5-2 win over Boston on June 9 and a 4-1 victory at Seattle last Thursday, when he pitched six shutout innings for his first scoreless outing in a month.
Ohtani has allowed two runs or fewer in eight of 11 starts. His only previous outing against the Royals was on June 6, 2018, when he gave up one run over four innings.
The two-way star had a huge game at the plate Tuesday night, hitting two three-run homers and driving in a career-high eight runs. Still, the Royals hung on for a 12-11 victory in 11 innings.
Ohtani crushed a 423-foot homer in the sixth and a tying, 438-foot shot in the ninth, giving him the biggest RBI game of his five-year stateside career. The AL MVP then set the single-game major league record for RBIs by a Japanese-born player with a sacrifice fly in the 11th.
Left-hander Daniel Lynch (3-6, 5.19) will be on the mound for Kansas City. He was 0-5 in his previous eight starts before winning at Oakland on Friday, when he gave up one run in five innings.
CENTRAL SHOWDOWN
The top two teams in the AL Central square off again when Jose Ramirez and the surging Cleveland Guardians visit Byron Buxton, Carlos Correa and the Minnesota Twins.
Triston McKenzie (4-5, 2.96 ERA) pitches for the Guardians against Sonny Gray (3-1, 2.09) in the middle game of the series. Gray threw five shutout innings last Wednesday at Seattle, his first appearance since going on the injured list June 2 with a strained pectoral muscle.
ENCORE
Tyler Anderson (8-0, 2.82 ERA) tries to follow up a sensational start in a breakthrough season when he pitches for the Los Angeles Dodgers at Cincinnati against Luis Castillo (2-4, 3.33) and the struggling Reds.
With his fifth team in seven major league seasons, Anderson nearly threw a no-hitter last Wednesday night. He shut down the Los Angeles Angels until Shohei Ohtani tripled with one out in the ninth inning for their first hit. The 32-year-old lefty was lifted after 123 pitches. His previous career high was 109 in 2018 with Colorado.
GOLD STANDARD
The Cardinals hope to have star first baseman Paul Goldschmidt back in the lineup soon after he missed a start because of back tightness.
Goldschmidt won the most recent NL player of the week award. He leads the NL in batting average (.339), on-base percentage (.417) and OPS (1.031).
Goldschmidt didn’t start Tuesday night at Milwaukee. The top two teams in the NL Central have two more games left in the series.
”He’ll experience it from time to time,” St. Louis manager Oliver Marmol said. ”Usually he takes a day, it loosens up, he’ll get treatment and be back at it. That’s our hope.”

‘The Old Man’ is a thriller series that revolves around Dan Chase, an ex-CIA operative who goes on the run after forces from his past try to hunt him down. It is created by Jonathan E. Steinberg and Robert Levine and stars Jeff Bridges in the lead role. The series is based on Thomas Perry’s novel of the same name and has received positive reviews from critics.
If you watched the show and enjoyed its blend of dark twists, inventive backstories, and violent action sequences, you must be craving more such content. In that case, we have compiled a list of similar shows you will also enjoy. You can watch most of these shows like ‘The Old Man’ on Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu.
7. The Blacklist (2013-)
‘The Blacklist‘ is a crime drama series created by Jon Bokenkamp that follows Raymond “Red” Reddington (James Spader), a high-profile criminal turned FBI informant with a mysterious past. Red helps the FBI track down notorious criminals on the titular list with his expertise. The long-running series is known for delivering several twists on its main character’s backstory and personal life, making it akin to ‘The Old Man.’ Moreover, the main characters of both shows walk a morally ambiguous line.
6. Jack Ryan (2018-)
‘Jack Ryan‘ (also known as ‘Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan’) is based on the titular character appearing in novels penned by author Tom Clancy. The series is created by Carlton Cuse and Graham Roland. The thriller series follows the eponymous CIA analyst (John Krasinski), who embarks on several dangerous field missions. Like ‘The Old Man,’ the main character is associated with the CIA, and his tasks have a political angle. Thus, with similar elements, the series will provide viewers of ‘The Old Man’ with a new worldview on the life and work of CIA agents.
5. 24 (2001-2010)
’24’ follows Jack Bauer, a counter-terrorism specialist who undertakes dangerous missions to foil the plots of terrorists. The action-drama series is created by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran. While the show’s narrative is drastically different from ‘The Old Man,’ both shows focus on the complex moral decisions that agents must make in the field for the greater good. With a wide array of interesting characters with dynamic backstories, the series will keep audiences invested in the story unfolding in real-time.
4. Slow Horses (2022-)
‘Slow Horses‘ is a spy drama series that revolves around the operatives of the Slough House, an administrative department where MI5 agents are sent as punishment. Led by their head, Jackson Lamb, the operatives become a part of a dangerous scheme threatening all of England. The series is based on Mick Herron’s novel of the same name and provides a fresh twist on the spy genre tropes giving viewers of ‘The Old Man’ an unconventional narrative. Like ‘The Old Man,’ the series is driven by a veteran lead star (in this case Gary Oldman) playing a deterred and old yet intelligent agent.
3. Reacher (2022-)
‘Reacher‘ is a crime thriller series based on author Lee Child’s ‘Jack Reacher’ book series and developed for television by Nick Santora. It focuses on Jack Reacher, a decorated U.S. Army military policeman who returns to his hometown. However, Reacher quickly finds himself embroiled in a grave conspiracy. The series is high on action and deals with a complex story with corrupt officials and shocking betrayals. Furthermore, the backstories of the main characters from both shows are parallelly unveiled in flashbacks. Therefore, the series will remind viewers of ‘The Old Man.’
2. Bosch (2014-2021)
Based on Michael Connelly’s best-selling novel series of the same name, ‘Bosch‘ tells the story of Hieronymus “Harry” Bosch, a homicide detective with a tragic past. The series is developed for television by Eric Overmyer. The detective drama will be a fresh change of pace for viewers of ‘The Old Man’ but still features familiar elements such as an aging protagonist with deep affection for his family and a complex past that unravels slowly. Moreover, both shows are adaptations of popular books and are driven by the conflicted emotions of their main characters.
1. Person of Interest (2011-2016)
‘Person of Interest’ is a science fiction drama created by Jonathan Nolan and starring Jim Caviezel and Michael Emerson in the lead roles. It revolves around Harold Finch, a reclusive software genius who teams up with John Reese, an ex-CIA agent, to prevent crimes using a computer program capable of predicting violent acts. The relationship between Reese and Finch mirrors that of Dan Chase and Harold Harper from ‘The Old Man.’
Moreover, Chase and Reese share a similar backstory as former CIA agents presumed dead for several years before returning to action. Likewise, ‘Person of Interest’ deals with the theme of morally ambiguous actions for the greater good. Due to these similarities with ‘The Old Man,’ the series takes the top spot on our list!

People who live in the Bay Area who were scrambling to find affordable homes in April were suddenly locked out of the market when interest rates started to climb.
But something had to give and it turned out to be housing prices.
Real estate website Zillow said back in April less than 5% of homes selling in San Jose took a price cut. By May, sellers cut the prices of more than 8% of the listed homes.
And it's not just the Bay Area -- housing affordability nationwide has sunk to its lowest point since 2007. | https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/making-it-in-the-bay/bay-area-housing-prices/2926507/ | 2022-06-23T01:41:11Z | https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/making-it-in-the-bay/bay-area-housing-prices/2926507/ | false | null |

SPARTANBURG COUNTY, S.C. (WSPA) — The suspect in the Spartanburg County deadly deputy-involved shooting had a criminal past, according to the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office.
The Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office said 63-year-old Duane Heard shot and killed Deputy Austin Aldridge Tuesday afternoon when he responded to a domestic call at a home in the 4000 block of Chafee Road.
According to incident reports, deputies responded on October 21, 2021, to that same house on Chaffee Road in reference to a disturbance.
Once deputies arrived on the scene, they spoke with Heard who said he was standing in front of the mail truck to keep the mail carrier from leaving without delivering his mail.
Heard told the deputy that he had problems with getting his mail delivered, so stopping the truck was the only way to get help.
According to the incident report, deputies responded to a Post Office on W Blackstock Road a week prior where Heard was trespassed due to his behavior, and threats towards Post Office employees.
At the scene, the mail carrier told deputies that she was given a “Do Not Deliver” notice for Heard’s address due to his recent actions at the Post Office.
The mail carrier said Heard beat on her delivery truck, which stopped her from leaving, the incident report said. Heard demanded that the mail carrier give him his mail and that is when she called law enforcement.
While deputies were attempting to arrest Heard, he walked backward away from deputies, so as deputies got closer, Heard kept resisting arrest.
Deputies arrested Heard for pedestrian in the roadway and resisting arrest. | https://www.fox46.com/news/u-s/south-carolina/suspect-in-shooting-that-killed-deputy-had-criminal-past/ | 2022-06-23T01:48:07Z | https://www.fox46.com/news/u-s/south-carolina/suspect-in-shooting-that-killed-deputy-had-criminal-past/ | false | 11 |
Will & Grace showrunner Gary Janetti revealed Madonna refused to wear the outfit selected for her guest-starring role
Will & Grace showrunner Gary Janetti is opening up about one of the show's biggest guest stars: pop icon Madonna.
The singer/actress/director guest-starred on a 2003 episode entitled Dolls and Dolls, where she played Liz, an executive assistant who ultimately becomes roommates with Karen (Megan Mullally).
Janetti appeared on the Behind the Velvet Rope podcast, he revealed the diva refused to wear any of the clothes they selected for her character.

Guest star: The singer/actress/director guest-starred on a 2003 episode entitled Dolls and Dolls, where she played Liz, an executive assistant who ultimately becomes roommates with Karen (Megan Mullally)
Janetti did admit that he'll always have a, 'soft spot' for the singer, 'because of what she did for the gay community and the way she was an early ally when there wasn't a lot.
As far as her role on the show, he said, that Karen gets a job for 'whatever reason' and she meets Madonna's character Liz.
'She's like an executive secretary, the kind of woman who wears her sneakers on the subway and carries her shoes in her bag and goes to a happy hour after work and thinks she’s kind of a big deal in her tiny office and Karen becomes enamored with her,' Janetti explained.
Liz: As far as her role on the show, he said, that Karen gets a job for 'whatever reason' and she meets Madonna's character Liz
'So she was supposed to wear, you know, Anne Klein II suits with sneakers and be the kind of woman you’d see on the subway. And Madonna as that is very funny, and Karen looking up to her, super funny,' Janetti said, though he explained it didn't all come together as planned.
'But Madonna didn’t want to wear any of those clothes. She had long blonde hair extensions and these outfits,' Janetti explained.
'So, she looked fabulous, but as a result, it was about 50 percent less funny than it should have been. It could have been really funny and it wasn't,' Janetti said.
Clothes: 'But Madonna didn’t want to wear any of those clothes. She had long blonde hair extensions and these outfits,' Janetti explained
He added they went to a costume fitting and the wardrobe people said she wanted to wear her own clothes, stating she was, 'at the height of her fame, and so whatever she wants, she's gonna do, and I don't know if she has a particularly good sense of humor.'
'It's hard to tell someone who's clearly gone very very far in the world by trusting what it is they want to do, that, in this scenario, you being on the show, people will enjoy this more if you trust this,' he added.
Janetti said they actually had to change the script because there were jokes in the script based on what she was wearing that didn't make sense anymore.

'I mean, she looked like Madonna. She looked like a rich, fabulous celebrity, which wasn’t what the character was. But she was game when she was on the show, and she was also funny,' he added.
He added that he wasn't running the show at that time, so it wasn't his call to ask Madonna to change clothes, but he said he would have, 'no problem' doing so if it was his call.
Will & Grace's original run lasted eight seasons between 1998 and 2006, with the show returning for three more seasons from 2017 to 2019.

NEW YORK: US stock indexes edged higher in choppy trading on Wednesday, with healthcare shares offsetting losses in the energy sector, after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the US central bank is “strongly committed” to bringing down inflation.
In his testimony to the Senate committee, Powell pledged an “overarching focus” on bringing down decades-high inflation and reiterated that ongoing increases in the policy rate would be appropriate, with the exact pace dependent on the economic outlook.
“We are not trying to provoke, and I don’t think we will need to provoke, a recession,” Powell said.
Powell’s comments came a week after the Fed raised interest rate by three-quarters of a percentage point, its largest increase since 1994. Economists expect a similar move next month, followed by a half-percentage-point rise in September, according to a Reuters poll.
“It’s the dovish side of very hawkish ... a little bit less clear and a little bit less than totally committed,” said Thomas Simons, money market economist at Jefferies, New York.
“There isn’t this we-will-do-whatever-it-takes ironclad commitment that you might expect would be the predecessor to perhaps really aggressive rate hikes that might lead to a rapid decline in output.” Wall Street has been whipsawed in recent sessions as traders debate if the market has found a bottom in the wake of a sharp sell-off on concerns that aggressive policy moves by central banks could trigger a global economic slowdown.
At 11:50 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 38.42 points, or 0.13%, at 30,568.67, the S&P 500 was up 8.44 points, or 0.22%, at 3,773.23, and the Nasdaq Composite was up 42.94 points, or 0.39%, at 11,112.24.
Markets were also supported by a fall in oil prices.
The energy sector fell 3.6% to be the biggest loser among the 11 major S&P sectors. Healthcare and real estate jumped 1.6% and 1.8%, respectively.
Rate-sensitive growth and technology stocks climbed. Microsoft Corp and Amazon.com Inc rose 0.5% and 0.7% to lead the Nasdaq higher.
“The meaningful move lower in oil has dampened some of the rampant inflation fears ... with the rates moving lower, that’s prompted a significant short covering move in technology names across the board,” said Michael James, managing director of equity trading at Wedbush Securities in Los Angeles.
“We have come to a realization that rates are going higher, whether we’re going into a recession or not is debatable.” Dow Inc slid 5.2% after Credit Suisse downgraded the chemicals maker’s stock to “underperform”.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers for a 1.07-to-1 ratio on the NYSE. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners for a 1.12-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq.
The S&P index recorded one new 52-week high and 38 new lows, while the Nasdaq recorded nine new highs and 142 new lows. | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40181819/wall-street-edges-higher-after-powells-remarks | 2022-06-23T01:50:36Z | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40181819/wall-street-edges-higher-after-powells-remarks | true | 4 |
KUCHING (June 23): Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) Sarawak welcomes Sarawak Premier’s announcement on five-year work visas to be given to professional expatriates who will be working in strategic sectors in the state.
Its secretary Andrew Lo said MTUC views the announcement as ‘no issue’ for high-skilled expatriates but expects minimum salaries for these expatriates of at least RM25,000 and above.
“We have no issue if the visas are for high-skilled expatriates. There must be a minimum salary of at least RM25,000 and above.
“This will then raise the bar for local professionals to compete and acquire the skills in the medium term,” said Lo when contacted yesterday.
However, he said the visas should strictly be for high-skilled expatriates and not for the low-wage migrant workers.
“What we do not want to see is tens of thousands of low-wage migrant workers that are currently employed here which will suppress wages for locals,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Federation of Chinese Associations in Kuching, Samarahan and Serian Divisions Youth chief, Kapitan Tan Teck Ming, concurred with Lo.
He said having foreign expatriates working in selected sectors in the state will give local people the exposure to technologies besides gaining experience and knowledge from the experts.
“Indirectly, it will create a culture that fosters continuous development that will benefit the state and the local workers to build-up on their skills that are required for their jobs.
“The five-year free working visa to professional expatriates will benefit them as it does not require them to renew every year, and they do not have to worry whether they can renew their visa once they are expired.
“In other words, it also helps Sarawak to attract and retain those professionals to work in Sarawak. Thus, local staff can have a chance to gain the experience and knowledge from these professionals. Diverse skills will allow organisations to offer a broader and more adaptable range of products and services. Hence, our products are on par in the international market,” said Tan.
Both Lo and Tan were responding to Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg’s announcement of offering foreign expatriates five-year free working visas, especially for those in strategic economic sectors in the state.
On June 21, during his closing speech at the 5th International Digital Economy Conference Sarawak (IDECS) 2022 at Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK), Abang Johari had said such move (to offer free five-year working visa to expatriates) will come into effect most likely in two or three months after the Cabinet meeting next month (July).
Nevertheless, he said such moves would need collaborations with the Immigration Department Sarawak, to work out on its formula and category which most likely will be confined to professionals in strategic sectors, such as engineers or scientists.
The Premier also mentioned that the future of Sarawak is largely based on digital information and Big Data, which require decoding by people, adding this is the way forward for Sarawak which is short of expertise. | https://www.theborneopost.com/2022/06/23/mtuc-swak-supports-move-to-give-five-year-work-visas-to-professional-expats/ | 2022-06-23T02:02:14Z | https://www.theborneopost.com/2022/06/23/mtuc-swak-supports-move-to-give-five-year-work-visas-to-professional-expats/ | false | 1 |
The following post contains minor spoilers for The Umbrella Academy‘s third season.
Art has imitated life in a big way for The Umbrella Academy‘s Elliot Page.
Eighteen months after Page came out as transgender, his Umbrella Academy character did the same when the Netflix drama dropped its complete third season on Wednesday.
According to series creator Steve Blackman, The Umbrella Academy‘s Season 3 scripts were complete when Page called him to share the news of his transition, and Blackman felt it was “very important” that he and Page collaborated on how to incorporate Viktor’s transition into already-written scripts. Blackman’s first call was to Nick Adams, vice president of the GLAAD Media Institute, who then connected him with transgender writer and boxer Thomas Page McBee. With Page and McBee guiding him through the writing process, Blackman says he “learned a lot more” about how to address Viktor’s gender identity.
“We wanted it to not be the story of the season,” Blackman tells TVLine. “We wanted it to be a story, or a part of the story.” (As McBee elaborated in an Esquire column earlier this month, writing Viktor’s transition presented “an opportunity to show a transition so organic, so fundamental to the character, that it could only work in concert with the existing character arcs, not eclipse them.”)
Equally crucial was the reaction from Viktor’s siblings upon hearing the news. Though there’s a learning curve for some of the Hargreeves, the family is wholly supportive from the start, which Blackman felt was essential to the season.
“We wanted to tell a story that was really pro-trans, authentic, sensitive, and show that families can accept trans people in their lives, and it does not have to be a negative thing, as it’s often portrayed in the media,” he says. “That was paramount. I talked with Elliot and Thomas through the whole thing, and I’m really proud of how we did it. I thought it came across in a way that we all felt good about.” | https://tvline.com/2022/06/22/elliot-page-the-umbrella-academy-viktor-transition-season-3/ | 2022-06-23T02:02:30Z | https://tvline.com/2022/06/22/elliot-page-the-umbrella-academy-viktor-transition-season-3/ | false | 1 |

Delhi BJP leaders on Monday accused the AAP government of indulging in "corruption" a day after Lt Governor V K Saxena allowed the Anti-Corruption Branch to probe allegations of irregularities in the building of seven temporary hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic.
BJP MP from Northeast Delhi Manoj Tiwari, who had complained about the matter, alleged the Arvind Kejriwal government had passed a tender for Rs 1,216 crore which was later raised to Rs 1,256 crore.
"Even political vultures would be put to shame seeing the new methods of corruption by the Kejriwal government during a disaster like Covid," he said.
Delhi BJP president Adesh Gupta alleged that there was a "scam" in the construction of the temporary hospitals.
No immediate reaction was available from the Delhi government or the ruling AAP over the BJP's allegations.
Official sources said the LG granted the "long-pending" permission to the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) to probe the allegations of irregularities in awarding tenders against the then chief engineer and the current chief engineer of the Delhi PWD.
"The ACB had in 2020 sought permission to proceed in the matter of irregularities in the construction of seven temporary hospitals under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The permission was delayed due to various reasons," said a senior officer.
The Delhi BJP president said the party's MPs, MLAs and office-bearers will visit the seven temporary hospitals on June 22 to "expose" the truth about the Kejriwal government's "hollow" announcements.
Adesh Gupta also urged the people to share any information they have about the Kejriwal government's "corruption" on an email address -- corruptionofkejriwal@gmail.com -- saying the BJP has launched a massive campaign against it.
Tiwari and Gupta claimed the Delhi government's expenditure committee had cleared a proposal worth Rs 1,210 crore on August 10, 2021, for setting up seven temporary hospitals for Covid treatment.
Later, Rs 1,256 crore was cleared for the same, they alleged.
"The fact is in Raghuvir Nagar and Kirari where these facilities were to be provided, hospitals already existed there. This way, the Kejriwal government indulged in corruption worth Rs 1,256 crore," Tiwari and Gupta alleged.

“I can honestly state that during my term as MP from 2007 to 2017, Menyamya road was in its worst condition and I tried my best spending K30 million to maintain the road.”
He said under the Connect PNG, the national government has allocated K20 million to the Menyamya road with construction commencing last year and Menyamya people are now enjoying their travel to and fro Lae.
“My district has 89,209 population and we grow higher organic coffee, minerals of gold, copper, fresh produce, including other economic activities that my people are currently doing.

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Video obtained Wednesday shows a shootout between two rival biker gangs on a Henderson, Nevada highway in May that left six people shot.
The leader of the Las Vegas chapter of the Hells Angels and two other bikers are facing charges, including attempted murder, in the Memorial Day weekend shooting on U.S. 95 that shut down the major freeway.
Police said the shooting was between the Hells Angels and rival gang, Vagos. Prosecutors alleged the shooting may have been in retaliation for a previous murder in California involving the two groups.
Chapter leader Richard “Rizzo” Devries, 66, and gang prospects, Stephen Alo, 46, and Russell Smith, 26, were originally held on $380,000 bail each. Their bail was lowered to $75,000 bond earlier this month. All three men are out of jail awaiting trial.
The video, obtained by Nexstar’s KLAS, is shot from inside a vehicle trailing the large pack of bikers. A woman can be heard exclaiming “this is not good” after realizing that the group contains bikers from both the Hells Angels and Vagos.
The bikers were part of a Memorial Day weekend ride through Arizona and southern Nevada. Evidence presented to a grand jury includes videos of the riders crossing the Hoover Dam.
Other videos include members of the Hells Angels at a Henderson Harley-Davidson dealership minutes after the shooting.
Trials for all three men are scheduled for September. | https://www.wkrg.com/national/video-shows-hells-angels-shootout-on-highway-outside-las-vegas/ | 2022-06-23T02:17:04Z | https://www.wkrg.com/national/video-shows-hells-angels-shootout-on-highway-outside-las-vegas/ | true | 20 |
Regarding the news article “State solar ruling felt in Cambria, Pendleton,” published June 21 by the Lockport Union-Sun & Journal:
To be sure, residents near to coming solar projects in the local area are unhappy with the state’s latest decision, that the representative groups are not parties to the decision and haven’t brought legitimate concerns, but what are those concerns? They seem less to be about the minor disadvantages of local renewable energy projects compared to their enormous benefits, both statewide and locally, and more about people’s anger against government.
Ed Saleh, president of Cambria Opposes Industrial Solar, states that the recent decision is against the New York State constitution. That is a claim that requires some back-up.
COIS and RUSH (Residents United to Save Our Hometown) are deeply opposed to the new ORES (Office of Renewable Energy Siting) process, which speeds the siting of necessary renewable projects as compared with Article 10, which rarely allowed a project to break ground. If indeed home rule is at issue, it is certainly suspended by state law, for example the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. Plus, ORES allows and even funds the opposition to local projects.
There’s also a deep-seated resentment at the big companies that build renewable facilities. Renewable energy is not a mom and pop business. But it’s a business we need to encourage if we’re going to get out of our fossil fuels mess and onto a cleaner environment.

B2B buy-now pay-later firm Playter eyes international push after $55m funding injection
London-based buy-now pay-later firm Playter said it is eyeing up new international markets with its B2B product today after announcing a $55m funding injection.
Playter, which offers businesses the chance to spread payments across areas like marketing, software and rent, has bagged the fresh funding from previous backers of Klarna and SoFi, and said it would use the capital to fuel a growth push this year.
Boss of Playter Jamie Beaumont told City A.M. the increase in demand for its products had been “dramatic” in recent months as businesses look to manage costs with a recession looming.
“There has been a massive increase in demand, and the macroeconomic circumstances have played a big part of that,” he told City A.M.
“Even firms that were cash rich are trying to extend their runway and ensure they have a more responsible balance sheet.”
Beaumont said Playter was “ready made for a recession” and expected demand to continue to soar as the economic environment deteriorated. Bosses are now eyeing up a hiring expansion with the new cash, as well a move into new international markets.
The fresh funding, a mixture of debt and equity, was led by investors Adit Ventures and Fasanara Capital, and follows a $1.7m seed funding round in March.
Boss of Fasanara Capital Francesco Filia said the firm would play a key role for firms as firms face a difficult environment in the months ahead.
“As funding dries up for early-stage companies, Playter brings to the table an innovative and highly flexible funding offer that we believe will greatly benefit the ecosystem,” he said.
Launched last year, Playter allows businesses to unlock up to £300,000 with no interest costs or revenue sharing with a subscription fee starting at £550 per month. | https://www.cityam.com/b2b-buy-now-pay-later-firm-playter-eyes-international-push-after-55m-funding-injection/ | 2022-06-23T02:20:24Z | https://www.cityam.com/b2b-buy-now-pay-later-firm-playter-eyes-international-push-after-55m-funding-injection/ | false | 1 |

The Federal Aviation Administration said a Bell UH-1B helicopter crashed near Route 17 in Logan County around 5 p.m. with six people on board.
The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate.

POWERFUL WORDS
There is so much power in quieting our minds and listening to the voice of God as he speaks directly to us. We must learn to recognize His voice above any other sound. God has the power and the ability to speak to any situation we going through, under any circumstance.
Since the beginning of time, God has begun powerful works with a powerful word. When we listen for Him to speak, we ready ourselves for him to do those works in and through us.
Prayer:
Lord, I want to be someone who does powerful works for your kingdom. I know that I cannot do them without the words from your mouth. Let me be a listener who both absorbs your Word as changed by it.
Scripture:
Ezekiel 3:10 (NLT) Son of man, let all my words sink deep into your own heart first. Listen to them carefully for yourself.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WIAT) — Lindsey Dukeminier and her fiancé were driving through Montgomery, Alabama, to visit family Thursday when they saw the sign. They say their hearts sank into their stomachs.
The Wares Ferry Road Baptist Church sign, a cross at its top and to its side, had a clear message: “GOD DETESTS PRIDE.”
“We were very disappointed that during Pride Month of all months this church had a sign up like this,” Dukeminier said.
Lindsey and her partner stopped the car, approached the sign, and embraced. A photo of their kiss, the church sign at their side, has garnered dozens of likes, shares, and comments on social media. “Detest this,” the caption said.
Wesley Whitworth is the pastor of Wares Ferry Road Baptist Church. He claimed that the sign was not meant to target those in the LGBTQ community. The man who changes the sign, Whitworth said, was referencing “personal pride — pride and arrogance, things of that nature.”
“And it just coincided with Pride Month,” Whitworth said.
The pastor said that when he first saw the sign after it was put up last Saturday, even he thought it was a reference to Pride Month. He asked the man responsible for the sign whether that was the case. The man said it was not, and the pastor believed him.
“It was not the intent to put that up just to spark controversy,” Whitworth said.
Still, the pastor said that in his view, the Bible is clear on homosexuality.
“They’re being disingenuous if they think that most mainstream churches would not have a problem with that,” he said, referring to Dukeminier and her fiancé. “Obviously we disagree on that. They’ll have to stand before God for what they do. It’s not my job to go around policing the actions of everybody.”
Whitworth said that he can understand why the sign may have made Dukeminier and her partner feel unwelcome. He said, though, that they’d be welcomed with open arms at Wares Ferry Baptist.
“I would, of course, make it clear, obviously, that our personal convictions are that this is not just an alternate lifestyle, it’s a sin like any other,” he said. “But they would be welcome to attend services and participate with us in hopes that they’d be converted to Christianity.”
Dukeminier actually grew up as a Baptist in north Alabama, where she was active in the church until her teen years.
“Messages like this push LGBT folks away from Christianity and make us feel unwelcome and unworthy of love,” she said.
Dukeminier said that if the sign wasn’t aimed at the LGBTQ community, “it was done in poor taste.”
Whitworth said he’ll consider having the sign taken down early.
“Because of this reaction, I may call the gentleman that handles that and have him change the sign early,” he said. “It was not our intention to draw attention to Pride Month. But I know what it looks like.”
Still, when asked if he thinks members of the LGBTQ community should be proud of that identity, the pastor didn’t mince words.
“I do not — any more than someone should be proud to be a drunkard or a wife abuser,” he said. “When someone says to me, ‘This is the way God made me,’ I disagree with that. You’ll have to take that up with the Lord.”
Lindsey Dukeminier said she’s proud to be a lesbian and proud to be an Alabamian, regardless of what a Montgomery church sign has to say on the issue.
“I wanted to take a picture in front of the sign with my fiancé to remind people that we are proud to love each other and that we’re not going anywhere,” she said. “Alabama is our home and we’re proud to live here as well!” | https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/alabama-pastor-claims-god-detests-pride-sign-not-intentional/ | 2022-06-23T02:36:16Z | https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/alabama-pastor-claims-god-detests-pride-sign-not-intentional/ | false | 31 |
DALLAS – Pete DeBoer didn't really hesitate to jump right back into coaching with the Dallas Stars about a month after he was fired by the Vegas Golden Knights.
Now the 54-year-old is ready to try to spark the offense of the only playoff team to get outscored during the 2021-22 regular season.
“The Vegas one rattled me,” DeBoer said during his introductory news conference Wednesday, sitting next to general manager Jim Nill with captain Jamie Benn in the audience.
“I think as a coach and a veteran coach that’s gone through it before, you lick your wounds for a couple of days, you reflect on what you could have done differently," he said. "And then the phone starts ringing and you start diving into the teams that are interested and you start getting excited again.”
It made sense that DeBoer wouldn't wait for his fifth chance as a head coach in the NHL. The Vegas firing bothered him because he thought the coaching staff kept playoff hopes alive longer than expected in an injury-plagued season.
Besides, DeBoer never took a year off between the other stints. In fact, Vegas hired him the same season he was fired in San Jose (2019-20), and he led the Golden Knights to the Western Conference final in the playoff bubble in Canada before they lost to Dallas.
DeBoer, whose first NHL head coaching job was with Florida, has reached the Stanley Cup Final twice in a first season — with New Jersey in 2011-12 and with San Jose four years later. Since Nill believes Dallas has a roster capable of such a run, he said this decision was easy.
“I'm a big resume guy," Nill said. “This is a tough league and it’s a tough one to coach in and you have to be able to handle situations. I know Pete can do it.”
The Stars want to score more goals without sacrificing the defensive structure that was the priority under Rick Bowness, who led Dallas to the Stanley Cup Final in the bubble as the interim coach before getting a two-year contract.
After an overtime loss to Calgary in Game 7 of the first round, the 67-year-old Bowness said he was stepping away.
Dallas had the second highest-scoring line in franchise history with Jason Robertson, the fourth 40-goal scorer in Stars history, Roope Hintz and Joe Pavelski, the soon-to-be 38-year-old who was DeBoer's captain with the Sharks and signed a one-year extension with Dallas during the season.
The problem has been the highest-paid players, and previously high-scoring forwards, in Benn and Tyler Seguin.
Benn had only 18 goals and a minus-13 rating that was the worst in his 13 NHL seasons. Seguin, a six-time All-Star who missed all but three games in 2020-21 because of a torn hip labrum and knee surgery, was minus-21 with 24 goals (49 points). Seguin played the end of this season and against Calgary with a fractured bone in his left foot.
“I don’t think it’s a secret,” DeBoer said. “We want to unlock some of the offensive game to this group. What can we do better style of play wise in order to be better? The second thing is, individually, what individual players can we get more out of and what’s the plan to do that? And that goes hand-in-hand sometimes with style of play.”
Dallas has one of the best young defensemen in the league in Miro Heiskanen, who turns 23 next month. When the season starts, he will be the same age as goalie Jake Oettinger, whose breakout season ended with a stellar showing against Calgary.
Anton Khudobin, the 36-year-old with one year left on his contract, should be healthy again next season, and DeBoer has a history of giving veteran goalies another chance after shifting away from them.
“Like all young goalies, you've got to temper that. We all saw what he did in the playoffs,” DeBoer said of Oettinger, who played at Boston University with DeBoer's son. “It’s following it up the next year. And our responsibility as coaches, and as a team, is to make sure we keep that foundation and structure around him.”
Nill hired DeBoer will just one year left on his own contract, but the coach said he received assurances from owner Tom Gaglardi that Nill would be “part of this while I'm here.” The 64-year-old Nill said he planned to be GM for several years and was working with Gaglardi on a succession plan.
“I think when you step outside of this organization and you get a perspective from the outside and you look at the drafting and the young talent coming and the blend of veterans and young guys, the future of this organization is really bright,” DeBoer said. “That’s a big part of Jim and what he does, so that was a big piece for me.”

Amber Heard to sign multi-million dollar deal for ‘tell-all book’ because she is ‘broke’, claims report
- Amber Heard is all set to write a 'tell all' book as she is 'broke' after losing the defamation case against Johnny Depp. As per author-lawyer Dror Bikel, if Amber 'crosses the line', she might face 'another defamation suit'.
Actor Amber Heard will soon sign a deal to write a 'tell all' book, weeks after losing the defamation case against her ex-husband, actor Johnny Depp. As per a new report, Amber is opting to take up the project as she is 'broke' and considers that her 'career in Hollywood' is over. Author-lawyer Dror Bikel has said that Amber should be 'extremely careful' as Johnny's lawyers will 'be reading and listening to everything'. Dror added that if Amber 'crosses the line', she will face 'another defamation suit'. (Also Read | Amber Heard has ‘world's most beautiful face’ according to science, claims new report)
Recently, Amber faced a six-week-long trial in Fairfax County, Virginia. A seven-person jury reached a verdict on June 1, deciding that Johnny proved that Amber defamed him in a 2018 op-ed. The jury awarded Johnny $15 million in damages but Amber will only have to pay $10.35 million due to a Virginia law limiting punitive damages (the judge reduced the amount). In her countersuit, Amber won one of the three defamation counts and was awarded $2 million in damages.
OK Magazine quoted a source saying about the book deal, “Amber considers her career in Hollywood over. She’s already in talks and is excited about it. At this point, she has nothing to lose and wants to tell all.” As per the report, Amber is 'broke' and not 'in a position to turn down money' for which she is set to take up the new venture.
Reacting to the development, author-lawyer Dror Bikel told OK, "The verdict in Virginia after weeks of lurid testimony was devastating to the credibility and reputation of Amber Heard. The jurors essentially found that Heard was not believable in any respects. The jurors rejected her testimony in its entirety. One juror even commented that she was not believable when she cried on the witness stand. Johnny Depp was awarded $10,0000, which is an amount of money Heard cannot pay. To the extent that Heard wants to discuss this case and her relationship with Depp in a tell-all statement or book, she needs to be extremely careful as to what she says about him. Depp and his attorneys will be reading and listening to everything that Heard states. If she crosses the line, which is likely, there is no question that she will be hit with another defamation suit and end up right back in court."
In 2018, Amber stated that she is a survivor of domestic abuse in a Washington Post op-ed although she did not mention Johnny by name in the column. Two years prior to that, Amber had accused Johnny of domestic violence after filing for divorce in 2016. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/hollywood/amber-heard-to-sign-multi-million-dollar-deal-for-book-as-she-is-broke-report-101655946674055.html | 2022-06-23T02:37:26Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/hollywood/amber-heard-to-sign-multi-million-dollar-deal-for-book-as-she-is-broke-report-101655946674055.html | true | 4 |
An update to Team Fortress 2 has been released, addressing several long-standing issues with bots and cheating exploits that were highlighted during the community’s recent #SaveTF2 campaign.
The latest Team Fortress 2 patch was released yesterday (June 21) and although it doesn’t bring any new content, it does deliver fixes for several major issues fans identified during the recent #SaveTF2 campaign.
This includes an exploit that was allowing bot accounts to change their username to mirror other players on a server, and a second issue that was letting players use sv_cheats “on secure servers”.
The voting feature has also been updated, and will now allow both teams in a match to have a kick vote at the same time. The patch notes also say it has “fixed %killername% and other placeholder names sometimes showing up on the kill cam and stats screen,” which is a bug that has been present in the shooter for years.
Other fixes include a bug that let players repeatedly spam noises with the Ap-Sap, and servers will now be able to give players a reason for why they have been disconnected.
You can read the full Team Fortress 2 patch notes here.
So far, reception to the latest Team Fortress 2 update has been very positive on the shooter’s reddit hub.
“Wow, actual useful fixes. The vote kick one is what got me excited. Been waiting for it ever since this bot mess started,” said one player, while another commented “I don’t want to be that guy but could we possibly be witnessing the start of… something? Hopefully.”

Myths surrounding salt being bad, less consumption of salt helps in weight loss
Salt is important for taste and it is no secret that food without salt is tasteless nor can one cherish food without salt but it is also believed that salt is out to kill and we shouldn’t be eating any of it. Although it is true that excess of it can contribute to hypertension, fluid overload, cardiovascular disorders and osteoporosis, it is underestimated that salt is one of the most important nutrients required by the body as it helps with balancing fluids in the body, maintaining healthy blood pressure and essential for nerve and muscle function.
To help debunk some common myths surrounding salt being bad, we got two nutritionists on board to help bust salt myths and differentiate health facts from fiction. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Kavita Devgan, Nutritionist at Tata Salt helped answer:
Myth 1: We can do without any salt in our diet
Fact: Salt depletion in the body (which can also happen during sweating, persistent vomiting or diarrhoea especially in hot weather) may lead to fatigue, dehydration, low blood pressure, muscle cramps and weakness in muscles. So never go very low on salt. In case of high blood pressure, reduce the sodium intake. You can switch to low sodium salt which is formulated to provide 15% to 30% less sodium than refined iodized salt.
Myth 2: Salt is an unnecessary ingredient in the diet and can be dispensed with
Fact: A little salt (sodium chloride) is essential in diet, as it operates our brain cells, regulates the water balance in the body, keeps muscles functioning and is needed to conduct nerve impulses. According to WHO, salt fortified with iodine helps reduce the risk of IDD (iodine deficiency disorder).
Myth 3: Going low salt can help you lose weight
Fact: Having salt in excess can lead to water retention in the body and may lead to weight gain, but cutting it off can only help reduce water weight by causing some quick water depletion from the body, and not lose any fat weight.
Adding to the list, Dr Varsha Gorey, Consultant, clinical nutrition at Apollo Hospitals in Navi Mumbai, shared:
Myth: Salt being bad and less consumption of salt helps in weight loss
Fact: Salt doesn’t really help in losing body weight. Chemically salt is sodium chloride (NaCl). It helps meet the electrolyte requirement of our body. Maintaining sodium levels in an optimum range of 130 to 140 mEq/L is essential to prevent hyponatremia (indicates low levels of sodium in the blood). However, its requirement varies from person to person. Apart from that, salt also helps to meet major iodine recommended dietary allowance (RDA) daily through iodised salt.
Salt is hygroscopic in nature and has ability to retain water. When there is less consumption of salt, this ability of retaining water is lost and one may feel weight loss but this is false weight loss and key to weight loss is losing fat and not water. So, rather than restricting salt, one should cut down on processed and refined foods such as namkeens, bakery products and junk food which are hidden sources of salt. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/lifestyle/health/myths-surrounding-salt-being-bad-less-consumption-of-salt-helps-in-weight-loss-101655949793384-amp.html | 2022-06-23T02:37:44Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/lifestyle/health/myths-surrounding-salt-being-bad-less-consumption-of-salt-helps-in-weight-loss-101655949793384-amp.html | true | 2 |

Home Of Ex-NBA Star Was Burglarized In Terrifying Fashion
Over the weekend, former NBA star Vince Carter's home in Atlanta was burglarized. According to police records, Carter's wife and children hid in a closet while the burglary was taking place.
Carter's wife, Sondi, told the Atlanta Police Department she was laying in bed with her twin sons when she heard "loud noises" from the front of their house.
"Ms. Carter stated that she took her sons and hid in their bedroom closet as she heard the unknown suspects gain entry into her home," the police report says, via USA TODAY Sports. "Ms. Carter stated she could hear the unknown suspects come upstairs and rummage through their belongings in different rooms while she hid."
When the police arrived on the scene, an unknown black male wearing all black clothing and a mask was running away from the house. He was then picked up by a black SUV.
Additionally, the police said $16,000 was scattered on the floor in front of Carter's home.
Two firearms were also found, with one of them belonging to the former All-Star swingman.
Thankfully, the Carter family wasn't harmed during this incident. | https://thespun.com/nba/home-of-vince-carter-was-burglarized-in-terrifying-fashion | 2022-06-23T02:51:56Z | https://thespun.com/nba/home-of-vince-carter-was-burglarized-in-terrifying-fashion | true | 1 |
A MARONG club should move to make way for "substantial" changes at Malone Park, council officers say.
The recommendation comes despite opposition from nearly half the people who took part in recent community consultations.
Advertisement
City of Greater Bendigo councillors will decide on Monday whether to back a master plan for the 43 hectare Malone Park sporting precinct.
They could also order a search for facilities that the Marong Light Harness Club could move to.
That would pave the way for council to turn the trotting track next to a Malone Park oval into other sporting facilities, council staff said.
More news: Worker dies at Fosterville gold mine
The draft master plan does not provide key dates for any moves but does suggest any trotting track changes should be a high priority.
Council officers say Marong's population could quadruple to 8000 people by 2045, underscoring the need to plan the replacement of ageing facilities now.
One solution could be to move equestrian groups 20 minutes up the road to Sebastian, or another place yet to be determined.
Council officers said several groups that use the current facilities would prefer to stay put.
They have warned that facilities at Sebastian would need major upgrades to be suitable.
The Marong Light Harness Club has warned the council those changes could trigger its disbandment.
More on this story: Marong club fights to retain its trotting track
Moving the club could free up space for the equivalent of two-extra football grounds in a suburb with higher-than-average numbers of Australian Rules players and multiple sporting clubs.
Councillors could decide to let the harness club stay at Malone Park.
That would raise the possibility of the centre of the harness racing track being transformed into a public sports ground complete with irrigation, potential lights and other changes.
Council staff cautioned against that idea.
"[It] would result in a compromised development that would severely impact both the operation of the harness track and the proposed sporting surface, increase the cost of development, and potentially stop all use of the track through the development of the sporting surface," they said.
Councillors could also vote to do nothing.

That could lead to haphazard improvements over time and problems as more people tried to use older facilities, council officers said.
Council officers and consultants have made several changes to other parts of the master plan since it was put out for community consultation.
That includes extra car parking space and keeping a play space near Marong's pool, rather than relying solely on one in another part of the reserve.

Tony Siragusa, a key member of the Ravens first Super Bowl championship team, passed away Wednesday at age 55.
Owner Steve Bisciotti and his wife, Renee, issued a statement regarding Siragusa's passing.
"Renee and I are stunned and heartbroken to learn about the sudden passing of Tony Siragusa," the Bisciotti's statement said. "He was a special person and clearly one of the most popular players in Ravens history. Tony's larger-than-life personality made an enormous impact on our organization and throughout the Baltimore community.
"On the football field, Goose was a difference-maker who contributed immeasurably to the success of many great Ravens defenses, including the record-setting 2000 Super Bowl team.
"Our deepest prayers and sympathies go out to Kathy, their three children and the rest of the Siragusa family. This is a tremendously sad day for the Baltimore Ravens. We appreciate everyone who has expressed an outpouring of support for our players, coaches and staff."
The news of Siragusa's death came on a tragic day, as Ravens outside linebacker Jaylon Ferguson passed away Tuesday night at just 26 years old.
Siragusa was part of Baltimore's legendary defense in 2000 that led the team to a title, allowing the fewest points in NFL history for a 16-game season. "Goose" was a bruising defensive tackle whose charisma and sense of humor endeared him to teammates and fans.
"Goose was quite a character, but he was one of our leaders on the 2000 Super Bowl team," Ravens Executive Vice President Ozzie Newsome said. "He was probably one of the best run-stoppers to play for our defense over the years. My heart breaks for Kathy, Samantha, Anthony Jr. and Ava. They are in my prayers."
Undrafted out of the University of Pittsburgh, Siragusa had a 12-year NFL career with the Colts (1990-96) and Ravens (1997-2001), with 564 career tackles and 22 sacks. After his playing career, Siragusa was a colorful sideline reporter for FOX for 13 years.
Coaches and teammates are mourning while remembering Siragusa fondly.
Ray Lewis, Pro Football Hall of Famer and former teammate:
"This is a tough one. I love Goose like a brother. From the first day we met, I knew that life was different. I knew he was someone who would change my life forever. He was a one-of-a-kind person who made you feel important and special. You can never replace a man like that.
"On the field, he was the ultimate competitor who brought out the best in all of us.
"We should never put off tomorrow for what we can do today. Hug your loved ones for Goose. We were all so blessed that God gave us that time together celebrating our 2000 team a few weeks ago.
"To the Siragusa family: We have lost a great man, but God has gained a great angel. May they be blessed, held and comforted by the peace he brought to everyone who encountered him."
Rod Woodson, NFL Hall of Famer and former teammate:
"Tony was always the life of the party. I know he loved his family and friends. My feelings are overwhelmed right now with grief for his family."
Brian Billick, former Ravens Head Coach:
"There was no one like Goose – a warrior on the field and a team unifier with a giving, generous heart who helped teammates and the community more than most people know. We would not have won the Super Bowl without him. This is such stunning, sad news, and our hearts go out to Kathy and the Siragusa family."
Marvin Lewis, former Ravens Defensive Coordinator:
"First of all, my deepest condolences to Tony's family. With Tony as a friend and teammate, you needed no other. He played and lived life to the fullest. He always reminded me to 'have fun.' This is a very sad day."
Jamal Lewis, former teammate:
"Goose was one of the most humble and funniest guys I knew. I can remember his locker being next to mine on gameday. He was never bothered and enjoyed life. While I had butterflies in my stomach, he was cracking jokes and pumping me up at the same time. Glad we got a chance to be together one last time for the Super Bowl XXXV celebration. He will be truly missed."
Sam Adams, former teammate:
"It was an honor and a privilege to line up next to Tony Siragusa. He made the game fun and was a true competitor. Our D-line room was special on and off the field. May he rest easy, and may God bless and keep his family."
Matt Stover, former teammate:
"I am sorry to lose such a great teammate and friend. I truly believe that the Super Bowl XXXV team would have never been as good as it was without Tony. He not only plugged up the middle, but his locker room presence created a loose environment when things were tight. He will be missed, but not forgotten."
Rex Ryan, Ravens former Defensive Coordinator:
"Tony was one of the best people I have ever met. I had the absolute pleasure of coaching Tony for several years. I love Tony. It was impossible to have a bad day around him – a great player, great teammate, great father, husband and friend. Tony and I were trying to get our Super Bowl [XXXV] D-line together in July at my house. We always stayed in touch and were close for years. Tony did more for teammates and friends than you will ever know – like the time he took presents [for his children] from under his Christmas tree to give to a teammate's family who had terrible fire that burned down their place.
"I remember having a meeting with my [defensive line] guys and asking everybody what they were going to do with their playoff bonuses. After all my guys spoke, Goose asked me what I was going to do. I said I was going to finish out my basement and buy a big screen TV. After we won the Super Bowl a couple weeks later, Goose drove down from New Jersey and parked outside in my driveway. He had a brand new big screen TV in the bed of his truck. He said, 'Here is your TV for the basement.' In typical Goose fashion, he said it fell off a truck.
"My son is in his sixth season coaching in the NFL. I hope one day he can coach a man like Tony Siragusa." | https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/tony-siragusa-dies-ravens-mourn | 2022-06-23T03:04:52Z | https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/tony-siragusa-dies-ravens-mourn | true | 3 |
