Public Health: Local transmission of monkeypox 'likely' in King County
KING COUNTY, Wash. - Health officials say a local transmission of monkeypox is "likely" in King County.
Monkeypox cases are steadily rising around the world. As of July 6, the CDC reports 7,000 cases globally and 560 in the U.S.
Public Health - Seattle & King County says they have identified nine cases in the county, but patients reported they did not travel during the time they would have been exposed, suggesting to health officials that the virus was transmitted locally.

"We expect to see additional cases locally as the outbreak grows in the US and globally," said public health officer Dr. Jeff Duchin. "We are working to limit the impact on our community, collaborating with a strong network of community-based organizations to share information so that people can quickly recognize if they develop a rash or other flu-like symptoms, limit close contact if symptoms develop, and get checked out right away."
Monkeypox is characterized by rashes and lesions, and spreads through direct physical contact with them. The virus cannot travel through the air, unlike COVID-19, and the infections are rarely fatal. People with monkeypox typically have flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes and a painful rash, but recover in 2–4 weeks.
The disease can be more dangerous for immunocompromised people, children, people with a history of eczema or people who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Public Health says they are connecting with patients to identify close contacts and possible exposure, as well as locations or events where an exposure occurred.

The Jynneos vaccine can prevent monkeypox, but due to limited national supply, the CDC is allocating doses to areas with the highest case rates. King County has comparatively fewer cases to other states and regions, so they are not a priority.

CATONSVILLE, Md., July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In its 37th year of honoring the nation's most elite high school athletes, Gatorade today announced Juliette Whittaker of Mount de Sales Academy in Catonsville, Md. is the 2021-22 Gatorade National Girls Track and Field Player of the Year. Whittaker won the prestigious award for her accomplishments on and off the field, joining an impressive group of former Gatorade National Girls Track and Field Players of the Year who have combined for 71 gold medals and 34 National Championships.
Whittaker was surprised with the trophy by her family, coaches and teammates at school. Check out a video of the announcement here.
The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, distinguishes Whittaker as the nation's best high school girls track and field player. The Gatorade Player of the Year Selection Committee, which leverages experts including coaches, scouts, media and others to evaluate candidates, selected Whittaker from more than half a million other student-athletes who compete in girls track and field nationwide.
Competition for the national award was fierce. Whittaker topped the list of state winners in girls track and field who collectively boast an incredible list of accomplishments, including 26 who are committed to Division 1 colleges and universities, 12 returning state Gatorade Players of the Year and 35 with a GPA of 3.75 and above.
"Juliette Whittaker had already established herself as one of the elite middle-distance athletes in U.S. prep history by advancing to the 800-meter semifinals at last year's Olympic Trials," said Erik Boal, an editor for DyeStat. "But following her mile victory at June's Brooks PR Invitational and a pair of sub-two minute efforts in the 800 during this past outdoor season—capped by her national high school record performance at the USATF U20 Championships in Oregon—she has elevated herself into the ranks of the all-time greatest high school competitors, regardless of gender or event. She is poised to make a significant impact at Stanford as the leader of one of the deepest recruiting classes in that program's history."
The 5-foot-8 senior set a meet record in the 800-meter run at June's USATF U20 Outdoor Championships, clocking a 1:59.04 to shave nearly a half-second off the previous high school record, set in 2013. The state's returning Gatorade Player of the Year in girls track and field, Whittaker also ran four of the U.S. Top-50 prep times from 400 meters to a mile in 2022, including the seventh-fastest mile in girls high school history. In addition, she broke the tape in the 800, 1600 and 3200 at the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland championships, leading her team to the title.
The president of her class, Whittaker has volunteered locally at a soup kitchen and as a peer tutor.
Whittaker has maintained a weighted 4.46 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a National Letter of Intent to compete on an athletic scholarship at Stanford University this fall.
"Sports make a powerful difference in the lives of student-athletes, teaching lifelong lessons and skills such as teamwork, dedication and self-confidence," said Gatorade Chief Marketing Officer Kalen Thornton. "Juliette Whittaker exemplifies the positive impact sports can have on a person and their broader community, and we welcome her to the Gatorade Player of the Year family."
Each year, a selection committee evaluates the nation's top talent to choose one state winner from each of the 50 states as well as Washington D.C., in 12 different sports: football, girls volleyball, boys and girls cross country, boys and girls basketball, baseball, softball, boys and girls soccer, and boys and girls track & field. In all, 608 athletes are honored each year. From the pool of state winners, one national winner is selected in each of the 12 sports.
Gatorade has a long-standing history of serving athlete communities and understands how sports instill valuable lifelong skills on and off the field. Since the program's inception in 1985, Gatorade Player of the Year award recipients have won hundreds of professional and college championships, and many have also turned into pillars in their communities, becoming coaches, business owners and educators. Previous winners include a distinguished list of athletes, such as Peyton Manning, Abby Wambach, Jayson Tatum, Elena Delle Donne and many other sports icons.

Wimbledon 2022: Nick Kyrgios advances to semifinals amid off-court controversies
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Nick Kyrgios has been in the headlines for many on-court and off-court reasons since Wimbledon started on June 20.
Kyrgios defeated the unseeded Cristian Garin in three sets to advance to the semifinals a day after the Australian police said that Kyrgios is due in court next month on a charge that he allegedly assaulted a former girlfriend in December 2021.

An attorney representing Kyrgios called the allegation “serious.” If convicted, Kyrgios could face up to two years in prison.
Despite so much going on off the court for Kyrgios, the 40th-ranked player has played good tennis and is making his first-ever Grand Slam semifinal. Kyrgios’ dominant serve is frequently hitting over 130 mph, and he had 17 aces against Garin while only getting broken once. Kyrgios is now 12-2 on grass courts in 2022.
WIMBLEDON 2022: RAFAEL NADAL EKES OUT WIN OVER TAYLOR FRITZ IN EPIC MATCH
Kyrgios has a powerful forehand to go along with the fire that he plays with on the court. Kyrgios himself wasn’t sure if he would ever reach a day like this in his career.
“Obviously, I didn’t go about things great early in my career and may have wasted that little window. But just really proud of the way I’ve come back out here,” the 27-year-old Australian said.
NICK KYRGIOS MAKES ‘LAST DANCE’ JOKE WHEN QUESTIONED ABOUT ASSAULT ALLEGATION
After beating Paul Jubb in the first round Kyrgios was fined $10,000 for spitting in the direction of a heckling spectator.
During Kyrgios’ third-round victory against the No. 4 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas things were contentious, and Kyrgios was fined $4,000 dollars for an audible obscenity. Tsitsipas called him a “bully” and “evil” after the match.
After defeating Brandon Nakashima in five sets to advance to the quarterfinals Kyrgios wore a red hat on the court during his post-game interview while Wimbledon’s rules are to have on only white clothes and garments on the court.

Kyrgios will be facing No. 2 seed Rafael Nadal in the semifinal on Friday.
The other semifinal matchup will be the defending champion and No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic against No. 9 seed Cam Norrie.

Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley and Del Rio Sectors arrested five criminal gang members and two deported sex offenders over the Independence Day weekend.
In the Rio Grande Valley Sector, McAllen Station agents captured three members of the hyperviolent Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gang members. During a background investigation, agents found one of the men had a 2010 assault conviction which resulted in a seven-month jail sentence in Maryland. A second gang member received two years in prison for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in Houston. That criminal alien was deported in 2021.
McAllen Station agents also arrested a member of the Mexican Valluco gang near Hidalgo, Texas. This criminal alien had convictions for larceny and public order crimes as well as a federal immigration conviction for illegal re-entry after removal.
Harlingen Station agents received a request for assistance from TSA officials at the Harlingen International Airport to identify a suspected illegal alien. Agents identified the man as a Salvadoran national illegally present in the U.S. The man revealed his membership in the 18th Street gang and said he served 12 years in a Salvadoran prison for aggravated robbery.
McAllen Station agents also apprehended a group of six migrants near Mission, Texas, on July 1. Hiding in the group was a Mexican national who received a 29-month jail sentence in Michigan for criminal sexual conduct. ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers deported the man through Brownsville, Texas, in 2020.
In the Del Rio Sector, Bracketteville Station agents arrested a group of 11 migrants on July 2. The migrants marched through the brush in an attempt to avoid detection and apprehension. During processing at the station, agents identified one of the men as a Guatemalan national with a criminal history.
Agents identified the Guatemalan man as 36-year-old Hector Portillo-Soto. A Louisiana court convicted the Guatemalan man for rape in 2019. The court sentenced him to three years in prison. ERO officers deported the man to Guatemala in February of this year.
The criminal aliens with histories of deportations now face federal felony charges for illegal re-entry after removal. If convicted, each could face up to 20 years in federal prison. | https://www.breitbart.com/border/2022/07/06/five-gang-members-sex-offenders-arrested-at-border-over-july-4-weekend/ | 2022-07-06T22:00:35Z | https://www.breitbart.com/border/2022/07/06/five-gang-members-sex-offenders-arrested-at-border-over-july-4-weekend/ | false | 1 |
Questions raised in San Diego police shooting that killed father of three
SAN DIEGO, July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorneys for the family of Mizael Corrales, the 31-year-old Latin man shot and killed by a deputy with the San Diego Sheriff's Department, are raising serious questions about why the unarmed father of three was shot 13 times by Deputy Anthony Garcia while attempting to flee an Otay Mesa strip mall in February. Corrales is represented by renowned Civil Rights attorneys Bakari Sellers (Strom Law Firm), John Burris and DeWitt M. Lacy (Burris, Nisenbaum, Curry & Lacy LLP) and Jorge Montes (Montes & Associates).
"The fact is that Deputy Garcia fired 13 shots in four deliberate bursts into a fleeing vehicle at a crowded strip mall," Sellers said, confirming that Corrales' family is considering legal action. "If lives were at risk, why did none of the other deputies discharge their weapons? Why was Deputy Garcia the only officer shooting at a fleeing suspect? Why did he think Mr. Corrales had to die?"
Police videos of the incident show Deputy Garcia pausing between bursts as he fired 13 shots from his police-issued service weapon despite multiple officers and bystanders as the unarmed Corrales attempted to flee the scene. Luckily, none of the surrounding officers and bystanders were hit by the multiple rounds fired.
"Through some poor tactics and planning, Mr. Corrales wound up dead. The San Diego Sheriff's Department should be ashamed of Deputy Garcia's actions," Lacy said.
The vehicle Corrales was driving only moved forward after he was hit by Garcia's shots.
"There are two choices here," Burris said. "Either Deputy Garcia didn't think before he fired off in which case he acted recklessly and dangerously. Or he did think and decided that this unarmed father of three deserved to die in which case he's a murderer. It's just that simple."
The San Diego Sheriff's Department reported that two deputies were knocked to the ground as Corrales tried to flee. They were later treated for minor injuries. Corrales died from his wounds at the scene.
"Mizael Corrales wasn't some statistic," said Montes. "He was a husband, a father, a brother and a son and he was gunned down just three days before his daughter's fifth birthday."
"They deserve more than excuses. They deserve answers."

Attorneys representing Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham say that he intends to challenge the subpoena that he was issued by an Atlanta-area special grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia.
“Senator Graham plans to go to court, challenge the subpoena, and expects to prevail,” attorneys Bart Daniel and Matt Austin wrote in a written statement on behalf of Graham.
Graham’s attorneys also wrote that in their “conversations with Fulton County investigators,” they have been informed that “Senator Graham is neither a subject nor target of the investigation, simply a witness.”
“This is all politics. Fulton County is engaged in a fishing expedition and working in concert with the January 6 Committee in Washington. Any information from an interview or deposition with Senator Graham would immediately be shared with the January 6 Committee,” Daniel and Austin wrote in the statement.
Graham’s legal team also stated that as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Graham was “well within his right to discuss with state officials the processes and procedures around administering elections.”
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ special grand jury wants to hear from Graham because the Republican senator allegedly made two calls to cand his staff in the wake of the 2020 election.
According to court filings, Graham “questioned Raffensperger and his staff about reexamining certain absentee ballots cast in Georgia in order to explore the possibility of a more favorable outcome for former President Donald Trump.”
The filing also states that Graham brought up allegations of widespread voter fraud, which have been widely debunked.
Willis’ office said it will respond in court if necessary.
“Should witnesses choose to challenge an order that they testify before the Special Purpose Grand Jury, the District Attorney will respond in the appropriate court to compel their appearance,” said Deputy District Attorney Jeff DiSantis. | https://www.pasadenastarnews.com/2022/07/06/graham-says-he-will-challenge-election-fraud-subpoena/ | 2022-07-06T22:05:26Z | https://www.pasadenastarnews.com/2022/07/06/graham-says-he-will-challenge-election-fraud-subpoena/ | false | 11 |
WASHINGTON — Pharmacists can prescribe the leading COVID-19 pill directly to patients under a new U.S. policy announced Wednesday that's intended to expand use of Pfizer's drug Paxlovid.
The Food and Drug Administration said pharmacists can begin screening patients to see if they are eligible for Paxlovid and then prescribe the medication, which has been shown to curb the worst effects of COVID-19. Previously only physicians could prescribe the antiviral drug.
The announcement comes as COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths are rising again, though they remain near their lowest levels since the coronavirus outbreak began in 2020.
Biden administration officials have expressed frustration that several hundred Americans continue to die of COVID-19 daily, despite the availability of vaccines and treatments.
Administration officials have been working for months to increase access to Paxlovid, opening thousands of sites where patients who test positive can fill a prescription for Paxlovid. The FDA change will make thousands more pharmacies eligible to quickly prescribe and dispense the pill, which must be used early to be effective.
“Since Paxlovid must be taken within five days after symptoms begin, authorizing state-licensed pharmacists to prescribe Paxlovid could expand access to timely treatment," FDA drug center director Patrizia Cavazzoni, said in a statment.
Still, use could be limited by paperwork requirements. Patients are expected to bring their recent health records— including blood tests — and a list of their current medications so pharmacists can check for health conditions and medications that can negatively interact with Paxlovid. As an alternative, pharmacists can consult with the patient's doctor.
Paxlovid is intended for people with COVID-19 who are more likely to become seriously ill. That includes older people and those with other health issues like heart disease, obesity, cancer or diabetes that make them more vulnerable. It isn’t recommended for patients with severe kidney or liver problems. A course of treatment is three pills twice a day for five days.
The FDA authorized Paxlovid last December for ages 12 and up based on results showing it reduced hospitalizations and deaths by nearly 90% among unvaccinated patients most likely to get severe disease. The drug has shown less impressive results in patients who already have vaccine protection and some physicians have reported cases of COVID-19 symptoms returning after treatment with the drug.
Expanding the test-to-treat program to include pharmacists could add thousands of additional options for patients. The two biggest U.S. drugstore chains — CVS Health and Walgreens — run around 19,000 locations combined.
CVS Health already provides COVID-19 care at 1,100 clinic locations inside drugstores.
There also are nearly 19,400 independent pharmacies not tied to a big chain, according to the National Community Pharmacists Association.
Pharmacist Michele Belcher said ahead of the announcement that she hoped to be able to test customers for COVID-19 and offer the pill because there is a shortage of primary care doctors in her community, the small, southwestern Oregon city of Grants Pass.
Belcher said she worries that some people may have a hard time getting a doctor’s appointment for a prescription during the narrow window to start the pill.
Belcher, owner of the independent Grants Pass Pharmacy, said she used to test and treat for COVID-19 using injectable drugs that are no longer as effective.
Her pharmacy routinely checks for potentially harmful interactions with other drugs a patient may be taking, she said.
“Pharmacists are the drug experts,” she said. “That’s something we do every day, all day, make sure there are no interactions with any medications.” | https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/nation-world/pharmacists-can-prescribe-pfizers-covid-19-pill/507-8de3e947-9abb-495d-bdd7-d2d34f6fe76e | 2022-07-06T22:08:40Z | https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/nation-world/pharmacists-can-prescribe-pfizers-covid-19-pill/507-8de3e947-9abb-495d-bdd7-d2d34f6fe76e | false | 76 |

‘I set my mind to it’: Diving 358 feet in less than 3 minutes, swimmer breaks national record
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - A diver from Hawaii has broken the USA Men’s National Freediving Record.
During the International Association for the Development of Apnea (AIDA) depth championships in the Philippines last week, Kurt Chambers completed a self-powered dive to 358 feet on a single breath of air.
The record dive took two minutes and 54 seconds.
The Kailua-Kona native is now the deepest competitive free diver in all of North America.
“At some point I went ahead and set my mind on it, even if it was kind of an ambitious goal to reach those numbers based on where I was at,” Chambers said. “I set my mind to it and ended up being successful.”
Chambers teaches freediving courses in Hawaii.

NEW ORLEANS – The New Orleans Pelicans have signed forward Zion Williamson to a multi-year contract extension, the team announced today. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“We are building a foundation of sustained success. We have a wonderful mix of young talent and veteran leadership and adding Zion long-term to this roster is something that I know our fans are very excited to see come together on the floor this season and for many seasons to come,” said Pelicans Governor Gayle Benson. “Zion’s talents are not only transformative on the court, but his commitment to our community, our city and region will also be transformative. What a wonderful birthday for him and his family.”
Williamson, who was drafted with the first overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft out of Duke, has appeared in 85 career games (all starts) with New Orleans, averaging 25.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 3.2 assists, while shooting .604 from the floor, .333 from three-point range and .683 from the free throw line. In addition, Williamson has scored in double-figures 84 times, including 49 performances of 20 or more points.
“Zion is an astounding 22-year old talent, who we believe is just scratching the surface of what he is capable of, both on and off the floor,” said Pelicans Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations David Griffin. “We are extremely pleased to take this next step of our collective journey together.”
During the 2020-21 season, Williamson appeared in 61 games (all starts), averaging 27.0 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 33.2 minutes per game. Williamson recorded 20-plus points in 25 straight games during a stretch between February 5 and April 6, marking the longest consecutive game streak in NBA history for a player under 21 years old. The South Carolina native was named to the 2021 NBA All-Star Game, becoming the 10th player in NBA history to earn All-Star recognition prior to turning 21, and the fourth youngest player in NBA history behind Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Magic Johnson.

The food-delivery stakes just got a lot hotter. Uber (UBER) and DoorDash (DASH) both took significant hits in today's trading session so far. UBER stock is currently down 4.4%, and DASH stock is down 7.2%.
The biggest reason behind the losses has nothing to do with either company but rather with one of its main competitors, GrubHub. GrubHub just got a major note of support from no less than Amazon (AMZN), and now the competition is going to have to scramble to make up the difference.
The latest news slamming both companies is that Amazon took a 2% ownership stake in GrubHub, owned by Just Eat Takeaway (JTKWY). In exchange, Amazon added free GrubHub membership as one of the benefits of Amazon Prime.
Now, everyone with Prime service has access to GrubHub, assuming GrubHub is available in their area. Amazon also has the option to buy another 13% of GrubHub if a newly-released promotional effort works out.
Is it time to abandon Uber and DoorDash altogether? Although I was bullish before, I'm now shifting to neutral on both companies. Things may have been sketchy for food delivery before, but with Amazon joining the fray, that's a seriously destabilizing element that will fundamentally shake up the field.
The last 12 months for Uber have been on a mostly steady downturn. Despite occasional recovery attempts, the company started off July 2021 around the $50 per share mark. Today, it's closer to $20 per share, coming in around $22.
Meanwhile, DoorDash spent most of 2021's second half gaining ground. It ultimately started a fall in mid-November 2021 that is still continuing to this day. DoorDash went from around $250 per share back then to just under $70 today.
Wall Street's Take on UBER and DASH
Turning to Wall Street, Uber has a Strong Buy consensus rating. That's based on 26 Buys and two Holds assigned in the past three months. The average Uber price target of $48.23 implies 123.7% upside potential.
Analyst price targets range from a low of $27 per share to a high of $74 per share.
As for DoorDash, it currently has a Moderate Buy consensus rating. That's based on 11 Buys and 10 Holds assigned in the past three months. The average DoorDash price target of $106.37 implies 53.3% upside potential.
Analyst price targets range from a low of $67 per share to a high of $185 per share.
UBER's Investor Sentiment is Much Better than DASH's
The latest move will likely not be reflected in investor sentiment figures immediately. However, the early word suggests these two companies had very mixed propositions as far as what investors thought.
Smart Score Ratings
Uber currently has a 'Perfect 10' Smart Score on TipRanks, the highest level of "outperform," implying that the stock has a great chance of outperforming the overall market.
Meanwhile, DoorDash has a Smart Score of 1 out of 10, the lowest level of "underperform," implying the exact opposite of UBER stock.
Hedge Funds Like UBER Stock More
Hedge fund involvement figures are very different for the two companies as well. The TipRanks 13-F Tracker reveals that hedge funds bought an additional 19.8 million shares in Uber in the last quarter. That's a reverse from the last quarter, where hedge funds sold shares.
Meanwhile, hedge funds sold three million shares of DoorDash last quarter. That marks the third consecutive quarter hedge funds sold shares of DoorDash.
Insiders are Buying UBER and Selling DASH
Insider trading at Uber is heavily weighted toward buying. In the last three months, corporate insiders added another $5.3 million in Uber shares to their portfolios. That builds on the year's figures, with buyers leading sellers 61 to 44.
Meanwhile, insider trading at DoorDash is much more Sell-weighted. Not only did insiders sell off $7.8 million in shares in the last quarter, but that builds on the broader year's figures as well. Sell transactions led Buy transactions at DoorDash by 126 to 31.
Retail Investors Seem Skeptical of Both Companies
As for retail investors who hold portfolios on TipRanks, they're actually skeptical of both companies' ability to perform. The number of TipRanks investors holding Uber in their portfolios was down 0.2% in the last seven days and down 0.3% in the last 30 days.
As for DoorDash, the number of investors holding its stock was down 0.4% in the last seven days and down 0.8% in the last 30 days.
A Bigger Problem for Some than for Others
Let's not mince words. The addition of Amazon to the food delivery market will destabilize it significantly going forward. The only real question is by how much.
Here's the problem in a nutshell: by adding GrubHub to its Amazon Prime package, Amazon has made Amazon Prime that much more appealing to its customers. That's good news for Amazon. Amazon Prime figures were starting to flag anyway.
Back in April, Kiplinger offered up an article called "12 Good Reasons to Cancel Amazon Prime." The combination of rising expenses and limited value has a negative impact on customers. CNBC also offered reasons Prime may not be helping some customers anymore.
Several stores have recently added same-day service to their delivery packages. That makes Prime's two-day shipping a much less unique feature. When ubiquity replaces uniqueness, a competitive edge is lost.
So Amazon needed a way to augment Prime's value, and it went with GrubHub. That's all fine and well, assuming those Prime customers live in an area where GrubHub offers its service.
For Prime customers who don't have access to GrubHub anyway—particularly rural-dwellers who use Amazon as an alternative to hundred-mile round-trip drives—it's meaningless.
This only means so much to Uber and DoorDash, meanwhile. After all, they likely weren't pursuing those stranded ruralites either. That means Amazon's move only has so much impact on the overall market. However, it hits Uber and DoorDash disproportionately. GrubHub's market is the exact same market they were pursuing.
This makes the market just a little smaller for all involved. This market already ran some serious risks with inflation destroying disposable income. Spiraling grocery prices made the cost of eating at home increase as well. Those aren't prime conditions for restaurants or the food delivery services that supply them.
However, if GrubHub ends up becoming completely part of Amazon—Just Eat Takeaway has been looking to sell GrubHub since April anyway—GrubHub will be able to fall back on the broader Amazon market for support. Uber will have its ridesharing and other delivery functions. DoorDash, however, will be hit the hardest.
Concluding Views - Uber May Fare Better than DoorDash
I'm staying neutral on both Uber and DoorDash. It's worth waiting to see how this whole thing settles. If Amazon buys out the remaining chunk of GrubHub, then that will make GrubHub potentially very hard to beat in the field.
Uber will have the best time of it. It has more than just its delivery functions to support it. DoorDash might completely fold unless it can branch out more effectively. With DASH's valuation being higher than Uber's anyway (on a price-to-sales basis), DoorDash will have a much harder time drawing investors.
I maintain that it's worth letting the picture settle, but right now, Uber looks like it has the best chance of surviving an Amazon-backed GrubHub. DoorDash, meanwhile, will need to innovate heavily—and quickly—to beat the troubles ahead of it.

CHICAGO (AP) — A woman — stunned and speechless in the chaos of a July 4 parade massacre — walked up to Greg Ring and handed him a 2-year-old boy, covered in blood.
Ring had fled the scene in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park with his wife and three children to an area behind a popular pancake house.
“We kind of met eyes and didn’t say anything…. I put my arms out, and she gave him to me,” Ring said Wednesday, when describing the exchange with the unidentified woman, who then laid down in front of their car in shock.
The boy pointed in the direction of the parade route, saying “Mommy, Daddy, Mommy, Daddy.”
Ring’s wish to help the boy carried him back to the scene. He tucked the boy’s face in his chest, so he couldn’t see the carnage. But Ring quickly realized it was too dangerous.
“Active shooter! Get back down!” a police officer shouted. Ring fled again.
He and his family got to their car and took the boy to a Highland Park fire station. “I have a boy. He’s not ours,” he told the department staff, who asked him to keep the boy as authorities searched for the shooter and helped the wounded.
“They were getting ready for war,” Ring said.
The family drove to Ring’s in-laws, where they hunkered down. There, the boy sat with Ring’s 4-year-old, watching a Mickey Mouse show.
“He asked my wife to wipe him off because he had blood on him that wasn’t his,” said Ring, an insurance broker from Highland Park.
They were later able to identify the boy and reunite him with his grandparents.
Aiden McCarthy’s parents, Kevin and Irina, both died in the shooting, which left five others dead and more than two dozen wounded.
Friends of the McCarthys said Irina’s parents would care for the boy going forward.
“Aiden … will have a long road ahead to heal, find stability, and ultimately navigate life as an orphan. He is surrounded by a community of friends and extended family that will embrace him with love, and any means available to ensure he has everything he needs as he grows,” Irina Colon wrote on a GoFundMe account she created for the family and Aiden. Colon, who described Irina McCarthy as family on her Facebook page, has raised more than $2 million so far.
One of hundreds of donors wrote, “Aiden, as a momma of another 2 year old boy, my heart is breaking for you. I am so sad your little heart has to endure such a devastating loss. No child should have to go through what you are. Stay strong, sweet boy!”
On Wednesday, Ring was still trying to process what happened at the July 4 parade. He said he’s not a hero and just did what anyone would have done in the situation.
“I’m just filled with immense gratitude. I’m really sad. I don’t know, I don’t know how I feel. I have not slept for a minute the last two nights,” he said.
“What could’ve happened — it is nothing short of a miracle that the five of us — me, my wife and my three kids — one of us or all of us isn’t dead. I do not understand. Everybody around us was hit or got shot.”
The five others who died were identified as Katherine Goldstein, 64; Stephen Straus, 88; Jacquelyn Sundheim, 63; Nicolas Toledo-Zaragoza, 78; and Eduardo Uvaldo, 69. | https://www.informnny.com/news/national-news/in-the-midst-of-chaotic-shooting-strangers-save-a-young-boy/ | 2022-07-06T22:25:18Z | https://www.informnny.com/news/national-news/in-the-midst-of-chaotic-shooting-strangers-save-a-young-boy/ | true | 49 |

EURGBP sellers came in with force during early European trading hours on Tuesday, squeezing the price beneath the protective 20-day simple moving average (SMA) and towards an intra-day low of 0.8566.
The quick bearish correction also pierced the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the long-term 0.9228 – 0.8201 downleg at 0.8594, which has been limiting both upside and downside pressures over the past two months, and breached the steeper ascending trendline.
If the bears secure a close below the 20-day SMA, the decline could initially test the 50-day SMA at 0.8525 ahead of the 0.8500-0.8483 support zone. Sliding lower, the pair may head directly towards the flattening 200-day SMA and the 23.6% Fibonacci of 0.8444. Another failure at this point could spur further selling towards the 0.8378 handle.
Although the RSI and the MACD are painting a blurry picture for short-term trading, with the former inching below its 50 neutral mark and the latter deviating below its red signal line, an upside reversal above the 38.2% Fibonacci of 0.8594 could see the pair re-challenging the 0.8679 bar once again. If efforts prove successful this time, the price could advance towards the 50% Fibonacci of 0.8715, a break of which could clear the way towards the tough resistance line currently seen around 0.8770.
In conclusion, EURGBP technical signals seem to be leaning on the downside, as the price is aiming for a close below the 0.8583 support region. The 50-day SMA at 0.8525 will be the next target if sellers keep the market below that threshold today.
Forex trading and trading in other leveraged products involves a significant level of risk and is not suitable for all investors.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Max Scherzer turned in a stellar performance for the New York Mets in his return from an oblique injury.
Perhaps more importantly for the NL East leaders, the ace right-hander felt good the entire time on a steamy Tuesday night in Cincinnati.
Scherzer struck out 11 while pitching six innings of two-hit ball, but New York lost 1-0 to the last-place Reds on Mike Moustakas’ game-ending sacrifice fly.
Scherzer, who turns 38 in three weeks, had been sidelined by a strained oblique muscle on his left side. It was his first big league game since May 18.
“I felt great,” he said. “No issues whatsoever today. Felt strong all the way through. (The oblique) never tightened up on me, so that’s a good thing.”
Mets manager Buck Showalter took Scherzer out after 79 pitches — mostly fastballs and sliders — but the ace believed he could have gone deeper into the game.
“This is a good problem to have,” Scherzer said. “Buck is going to make the best decision for the ballclub and for my health and my long-term health, so I completely understand where he’s coming from. With that being said, I didn’t have any problems tonight. I felt good. I felt strong. I had nothing tighten up. I wanted to get to that 90, 95 pitch count.”
Tommy Pham led off the Cincinnati ninth with a double into the right-field corner against Seth Lugo (1-2). It was the Reds’ fourth hit of the game.
Tyler Naquin was walked intentionally before Donovan Solano walked to load the bases. Moustakas’ deep fly ball to center drove in Pham with the game-winner.
“It is kind of how you want to draw it up when you’re coming up to win the game,” Moustakas said. “You just get a pitch to hit and don’t miss it.”
Reds rookie Nick Lodolo combined with four relievers on a six-hitter. Lodolo struck out eight and gave up just three hits in 4 2/3 innings in his return from a back injury.
It was Lodolo’s first major league game since April 24.
“Lodolo — as good as he was — that lineup made him work,” Reds manager David Bell said. “He was really on a mission.”
Hunter Strickland (2-2) got three outs for the win.
“I’m so happy for the bullpen, they kept us right there,” Bell said.
“I know the players are frustrated to have that kind of outing, but I knew that their pitcher was going to be a challenge before the game,” Showalter said of Lodolo. “Watching a lot of stuff on him and talking to people, we knew he was going to be a challenge for us tonight. I was hoping it wasn’t that much of a challenge as it ended up being.”
The Reds threatened in the eighth, putting runners on second and third with one out. But Tommy Hunter got Jonathan India to pop out and Brandon Drury to fly out to right.
DELAYED
There was a 53-minute weather delay before the start of the game. But it never rained.
NICE CATCH
Pham prevented a potential extra-base hit in the Mets ninth when he went into the left-field corner to snag a deep fly off the bat of Jeff McNeil.
TRAINERS ROOM

Covid Shot Hesitancy Spills Over To Flu Vaccine Program: Study
Research reported in CIDRAP shows that worries over covid vaccines are negatively impacting the adult flu vaccination effort. Separate research shows covid hits children ages 5 and younger harder than influenza does.
CIDRAP:
COVID Vaccine Hesitancy Threatens Flu Vaccine Uptake
Polarized views and worries about COVID-19 vaccination had spillover effects on flu vaccination in adults, according to researchers who examined data over two pandemic years on both vaccines by state. The authors of the study say the findings are a warning of declining trust in public heath, which comes at a vulnerable time as eased COVID-19 measures put populations at risk for the return of disease threats such as flu. Late-season flu activity is still under way in some parts of the United States, and health officials are closely watching Australia, where an early-season surge is already worse than some of the country's pre–COVID pandemic flu seasons.

Data Highlight Greater Impact Of COVID-19 Vs Flu In Young Children
A study today in JAMA Network Open comparing COVID-19 versus flu in kids 5 years old and younger finds that the novel coronavirus led to twice the rate of admissions to pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) and rates of intubation one-third higher during the first 15 months of the pandemic. (6/15)

DeSantis Says Florida Is ‘Affirmatively Against’ Covid-19 Vaccines For Young Kids
Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday railed against providing Covid-19 vaccines to young children, saying Florida will not provide state programs to administer vaccinations for toddlers or infants. DeSantis, speaking at a press conference in Miami, said that Covid-19 vaccines have not gone through enough testing and clinical trials to determine that they are effective and added that kids are least likely to suffer serious health consequences from Covid. (Sarkissian, 6/16)
Houston Chronicle:
Texas Children's Opens COVID Vaccine Appointments For Kids 5 And Under
Texas Children’s Hospital is opening up appointments for children as young as 6 months old to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday unanimously recommended for emergency use authorization for millions of infants, toddlers and preschoolers. The agency’s recommendation centers on Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 6 months to 4 years old, and Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 6 months to 5 years old. The hospital is still waiting on official FDA authorization, then a recommendation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, followed by an official sign-off from CDC Director Rochelle Walensky. If that happens, the shots could be available as early as next week. (Gill, 6/16)

KHN’s ‘What The Health?’: Closing In On Covid Vaccines For ‘The Littles’
Children younger than 5 are the only population not eligible for a covid-19 vaccine in the U.S. But that may be about to change as an advisory committee to the Food and Drug Administration recommends authorization for that group. Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, senators are struggling to write into legislative language a tentative deal reached over the weekend on gun control and mental health, and the Supreme Court says no to certain administration cuts to hospitals under the Medicare program.

California Lawmaker Scraps Plan For Preteen Vaccine Consent
California lawmakers on Thursday amended a bill that would have let preteens be vaccinated against a range of health conditions without their parents’ consent, instead raising the proposed minimum age to 15, which would still be among the youngest in the U.S. Currently, minors age 12 to 17 in California cannot be vaccinated without permission from their parents or guardians, except for vaccinations to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. California state law already allows people 12 and older to consent to the Hepatitis B and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines. (Thompson, 6/16)

Boosters Plus Previous Infection Shown Most Protective Against Omicron
According to a study yesterday based on COVID-19 cases in Qatar, protection afforded by natural immunity from prior infections was longer-lasting than from a primary mRNA vaccine series, but booster vaccine doses combined with prior infection provided the most protection against infections during the Omicron surge. ... Previous infection alone was 46.1% effective in protecting against infection with BA.2, an Omicron subvariant that surpassed the original (BA.1) Omicron strain in late March. The highest level of protection against BA.2 infection was in people who had a previous infection plus three doses of the Pfizer vaccine, which was 77.3%.

Study Finds Low 2-Dose Vaccine Protection Against Omicron In Teens
A study today in Pediatrics of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine efficacy (VE) in teens finds that VE was lower against symptomatic Omicron infection than against Delta and decreased faster, from 51% initially to 29% after 180 days, compared with 97% and 90% for the same intervals against symptomatic Delta infection.

A federal judge on Thursday sentenced Simone Gold, the founder of the anti-vaccine group America’s Frontline Doctors, to 60 days in prison for trespassing in the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 attack, blasting her for using her legal woes to raise $430,000 for herself and her organization. U.S. District Judge Christopher R. Cooper said that Gold, who pleaded guilty in March, failed to show remorse or accept responsibility for her actions during the riot.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi’s only abortion clinic has been buzzing with activity in the chaotic days since the U.S. Supreme Court upended abortion rights nationwide — a case that originated in this conservative Deep South state, with this bright-pink medical facility that is closing its doors Wednesday.
Physicians at Jackson Women’s Health Organization have been trying to see as many patients as possible before Thursday, when, barring an unlikely intervention by the state’s conservative Supreme Court, Mississippi will enact a law to ban most abortions.
Amid stifling summer heat and humidity, clashes intensified Wednesday between anti-abortion protesters and volunteers escorting patients into the clinic, best known as the Pink House.
When Dr. Cheryl Hamlin, who has traveled from Boston for five years to perform abortions, walked outside the Pink House, an abortion opponent used a bullhorn to yell at her. “Repent! Repent!” shouted Doug Lane.
His words were drowned out by abortion rights supporter Beau Black, who repeatedly screamed at Lane: “Hypocrites and Pharisees! Hypocrites and Pharisees!”
Abortion access has become increasingly limited across wide swaths of the U.S. as conservative states enact restrictions or bans that took effect when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that legalized abortion nationwide.
The court, reshaped by three conservative justices appointed by former President Donald Trump, issued the ruling June 24. But the Mississippi clinic has been inundated with patients since September, when Texas enacted a ban on abortion early in pregnancy.
Cars with license plates from Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas have been driving through Jackson’s Fondren neighborhood to bring women and girls— some of whom appeared to be teenagers — to the Pink House. Drivers parked on side streets near the clinic in the shade of pink and purple crepe myrtles, their car air-conditioners blasting as they waited.
Diane Derzis, who has owned the Mississippi clinic since 2010, drove to Jackson to speak at the Pink House hours after the Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.
“It’s been such an honor and a privilege to be in Mississippi. I’ve come to love this state and the people in it,” Derzis told those gathered in the sweltering heat.
The Supreme Court ruling was in a case called Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization — the clinic’s challenge of a 2018 Mississippi law to ban most abortions after 15 weeks. The Pink House had been doing abortions through 16 weeks, but under previous U.S. Supreme Court rulings, abortion was allowed to the point of fetal viability at about 24 weeks.
Mississippi’s top public health official, Dr. Thomas Dobbs, was named in the lawsuit, but has not taken a public position about the case. The state’s Republican attorney general urged justices to use the case to overturn Roe v. Wade and give states more power to regulate or ban abortion.
Derzis told The Associated Press after the ruling that she didn’t regret filing the lawsuit that eventually undercut nearly five decades of abortion case law.
“We didn’t have a choice. And if it hadn’t been this lawsuit, it would have been another one,” said Derzis, who also owns abortion clinics in Georgia and Virginia, and lives in Alabama.
The Mississippi clinic uses out-of-state physicians like Dr. Hamlin because no in-state doctors will work there.
As the Pink House prepared to close, Dr. Hamlin said she worries about women living in deep poverty in parts of the state with little access to health care.
“People say, ‘Oh, what am I supposed to do?’” she said. “And I’m like, ‘Vote.’”
Shannon Brewer, the Pink House director, agrees low-income women will be most affected by being unable to get abortions in-state.
Brewer told the AP the anti-abortion protesters know her by name and yell at her but she tunes them out.
“They don’t say a lot to me anymore other than, you know, ‘You’re coming to work to kill babies,'” Brewer said. “I’ve been here for 20-something years. So, it’s like when I get out of the car I don’t really hear it because it’s like the same thing over and over and over again.”
Some staffers were expected to be in the Pink House on Thursday for paperwork ahead of it closure, but no procedures.
With the Mississippi clinic closing, Derzis and Brewer will soon open an abortion clinic in Las Cruces, New Mexico, about an hour’s drive from El Paso, Texas, — calling it Pink House West. Hamlin said she is getting licensed in New Mexico so she can work there.
Mississippi and New Mexico are two of the poorest states in the U.S., but have vastly different positions on abortion politics and access.
Home to a Democratic-led legislature and governor, New Mexico recently took an extra step to protect providers and patients from out-of-state prosecutions. It’s likely to continue to see a steady influx of people seeking abortions from neighboring states with more restrictive abortion laws.
One of the largest abortion providers in Texas, Whole Woman’s Health, announced Wednesday that it is also planning to reopen in New Mexico in a city near the state line, to provide first- and second-trimester abortions. It began winding down operations in Texas after a ruling Friday by the state Supreme Court that forced an end to abortions at its four clinics.
Standing outside the Mississippi clinic on June 24, Derzis was pragmatic about the future of the building she had painted bright pink several years ago.
“This building will be sold and maybe someone will knock it down and make a parking lot here,” Derzis said. “And that will be sad, but she served her purpose and many women had their abortions here.”

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony before the Jan. 6 committee was a big hit with television viewers, easily reaching a larger live audience than any of the four other daytime hearings.
Hutchinson's riveting testimony about former President Donald Trump's temper as plans to overturn the 2020 election fell apart was seen by 13.17 million people last week, the Nielsen company said.
That's a 28% jump from the 10.25 million who watched the committee's previous daytime hearing, and 23% over the average from the four daytime hearings. The committee's first hearing, the only one televised in prime-time, was seen by 19.4 million people.
The committee had hurriedly scheduled a public session to hear Hutchinson's testimony after expecting to be off until mid-July. Its leaders built up anticipation by trying to keep the identity of its witness a secret in advance.
Given that many people later heard parts of Hutchinson's testimony online or in news reports, the actual number of people who heard what she said was bigger than the live coverage.
CBS was the most popular network in prime time last week, averaging 2.7 million viewers. NBC had 2.4 million, ABC had 2.1 million, Fox had 1.6 million, Univision had 1.2 million, Ion Television had 1 million, and Telemundo averaged 900,000.
Fox News Channel was the top-rated cable network in prime time, averaging 2.05 million viewers. MSNBC had 1.31 million, HGTV had 858,000, Hallmark had 730,000 and History had 685,000.
ABC's “World News Tonight” led the evening news ratings race with an average of 7.2 million viewers. NBC's “Nightly News” had 6.1 million and the “CBS Evening News” had 4.3 million.

The Nigerian Correctional Service, Ogun State Command, has denied media reports that a suspect involved in the death of a lady, Sofiat Okeowo, slumped and died in prison.
Victor Oyeleke, the prison’s spokesperson in the state, in a statement, described the reports as false.
“The attention of the Nigerian Correctional Service, Ogun State Command has been drawn to an online media and radio programme reports that one of the suspected killers of Sofiat Okeowo, a lady alleged to have been murdered for ritual purposes in Abeokuta, Ogun State in January 2022 and remanded in the custody of Nigerian Correctional Service, Ogun State Command, is dead,” the statement read.
“The Nigerian Correctional Service Ogun State Command has deemed it necessary to refute the reports as it is not true. To set the records straight, the command wishes to state that three of the suspects presently in our custody are hale and hearty.”
The police in February charged three teenagers and a 20-year-old over the murder of Ms Okeowo, 20.
Balogun Mustakeem, 20; Majekodunmi Soliudeen, 18; Abdulgafar Lukman, 19; and Waris Oladeinde, 18, were accused of beheading Ms Okeowo, who was a girlfriend of Mr Soliudeen.
The police said the suspect committed the act for ritual purposes.
They also said upon interrogation, they claimed they saw “guidelines” on how to be rich on Facebook.
The suspects were arraigned before Magistrate I.O Abudu on a two-count charge of conspiracy and murder.
Magistrate Abudu ordered that the teenagers be remanded in Oba Correctional Center pending legal advice from the Ogun State Director of Public Prosecution (DPP).
In March, one of the teenagers, Mr Oladeinde, was discharged by the court on the DPP’s advice.
According to the magistrate, “no charge was recorded against Oladeinde in the legal advice.”

BART and Muni ridership is on the rise – from the return of the daily commute, to events like the Warriors parade and Pride. This Saturday, you might have another reason to take a ride: expanded Muni service.
Starting Saturday, Muni is restoring three pre-pandemic bus routes: No. 2 Sutter; No. 6 Haight-Parnassus; No. 21 Hayes. Eight existing routes will also be modified to add pre-pandemic connections or other modifications. Additional route changes are planned for later this year.
These changes are the result of the 2022 Muni Service Network plan, which gathered public feedback in September last year.
The plan prioritizes linking neighborhoods identified by the Muni Service Equity Strategy to essential destinations like hospitals and neighborhood commercial corridors. The No. 2 Sutter, for example, restores connections to the Jewish Community Center food hub. | https://www.kalw.org/kalw-news/2022-07-06/muni-to-expand-service-july-9th | 2022-07-06T22:49:12Z | https://www.kalw.org/kalw-news/2022-07-06/muni-to-expand-service-july-9th | false | null |
Delhi Police launch line of designer merchandise for use by the public
The Delhi Police has launched a line of bags, the first product in its planned merchandise range to reach out to the residents and spread its ‘people-friendly’ image, senior officers associated with the project said on Wednesday.
The launch took place on July 4 during the first Commissionerate Day parade, and the bags are likely to be available in about a month, the officers said. They added that the bags — totes, crossbody, duffle, satchels, and backpacks — will be coloured khaki with red and blue stripes, dipping into the palette used for the police uniform. They will also bear the Delhi Police logo.
The bags have been designed by fashion designer Ritu Beri, who also attended the July 4 parade.

A special commissioner rank officer who is overseeing the project said, “We want to reach out to the masses and portray the positive image of he Delhi Police. Youngsters will definitely like the products since they are good quality products and comparatively cheaper,” the officer said asking not to be named.
According to the officer, the bags may cost between ₹1,000 and ₹3,000 depending on their size.
“The department is yet to make a final decision on where to sell the merchandise. They will surely be sold at the National Museum inside Delhi Police headquarters and at select police stations. There are plans to tie up with online vendors and renting out spaces in city malls,” the officer said
In the US, the New York Police Department (NYPD) and Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) have authorised vendors to sell their merchandise such as hoodies, T-shirts, caps.

“The merchandise is inspired by the unflinching spirit of Delhi Police personnel who brave extreme conditions while serving the citizens. The best quality merchandise with department’s logo and messages has been created after research, keeping in mind global trends, and the duties and responsibilities of police personnel and public expectations,” Beri said on Monday during the launch.
Apoorva Jain, 29, an east Delhi resident who works as a social media manager with a private company, said having a bag with Delhi Police logo on it will give her a “sense of security”. “I wouldn’t mind carrying a bag to work and use it for daily commute because people might think I know someone from Delhi Police,” she said. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/delhi-police-launch-line-of-designer-merchandise-for-use-by-the-public-101657144413220.html | 2022-07-06T22:50:55Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/delhi-police-launch-line-of-designer-merchandise-for-use-by-the-public-101657144413220.html | false | 2 |

CHICAGO (WGN) — Former “Cheer” star Jerry Harris has been sentenced to 12 years in prison in his federal child porn case.
Additionally, the 21-year-old is facing eight years of supervised release after his prison term. He will be required to register as a sex offender for life and faces an initial fine of $55,000 with more restitution to be determined.
In February, Harris pled guilty in a deal to one count of receipt of child pornography and another of traveling with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct.
At the time, prosecutors said if the case had gone to trial, their evidence would have shown that in the summer of 2020, while Harris was living in Naperville, Illinois, he communicated with a minor – whom he knew was under 18 – via Snapchat, repeatedly asking for photos of a sexual nature.
Regarding the second charge, Harris traveled from Dallas to Orlando in May 2019 with the intent to engage in sexual conduct with a 15-year-old, whom he asked to meet in a public bathroom.
Earlier this year, the defense team shared a statement with Nexstar’s WGN, saying the criminal conduct “took place in the context of a competitive Cheer Community where inappropriately sexualizing and sexually abusing children was far too common and too often overlooked. Jerry was himself exploited, manipulated, and sexually abused as a child within the Cheer Community in a way that perversely made him believe that this sexual conduct was somehow normal when it was not.”
The statement went on to say Harris had been in therapy since his incarceration in October of 2020.
“Cheer” was a successful Netflix docuseries that followed the competitive cheerleading squad from Navarro College in Corsicana, Texas. Harris became popular for his upbeat attitude during the show. | https://www.cbs17.com/news/national-news/former-cheer-star-jerry-harris-sentenced-to-12-years-for-child-porn/ | 2022-07-06T23:01:33Z | https://www.cbs17.com/news/national-news/former-cheer-star-jerry-harris-sentenced-to-12-years-for-child-porn/ | false | 19 |
ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — At least 600 inmates escaped in a jailbreak in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city, officials said Wednesday, blaming the attack on Islamic extremist rebels.
Over 300 escapees have either been recaptured or turned themselves in at police stations, authorities said.
The “very determined” rebels attacked the Kuje maximum prison in Abuja on Tuesday night with “very high-grade explosives,” killing one guard on duty, according to Shuaib Belgore, permanent secretary of Nigeria’s Ministry of Interior.
Explosions and gunfire were heard at about 10 p.m. in the Kuje area when the attackers arrived and forced their way into the prison through a hole created by the blasts.
The Islamic extremist rebels who attacked the prison have waged an insurgency in the country’s northeast for over a decade. Their attack on the detention facility freed many of their members who are inmates, prison officials said.
“We understand they are Boko Haram. They came specifically for their co-conspirators,” said Belgore.
The Kuje maximum security prison had nearly 1,000 inmates including 64 suspects of the Boko Haram extremist group all of whom have escaped, said Maj Gen Bashir Salihi Magashi, Nigeria’s Minister of Defense.
He told reporters that security officials on the ground did “their best” to prevent the jailbreak. “We are trying to see what we can do to ensure that all escapees are brought back,” he said.
As of Wednesday morning, bullet shells lay scattered around the prison premises while helicopters hovered over the Kuje area as security agents combed nearby bushes in search of escapees.
Some recaptured inmates lay on the ground by the prison entrance near the bodies of some who died in the attack. Authorities did not specify the number of deaths.
The Abuja jailbreak occurred around the same time that gunmen launched a daring attack on an advance security convoy preparing for the visit of Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari in the northwest Katsina state. Those attackers “opened fire on the convoy from ambush positions but were repelled by the military,” a presidential spokesman said.
Nigeria’s jihadi rebels and other armed groups have carried out several jailbreaks in the country’s northeast in recent years, but this is the first in the capital city in recent years.
In 2021 more than 2,500 inmates were freed in three jailbreaks. At least 4,307 inmates have escaped from Nigeria’s prisons since 2017, Lagos-based online newspaper TheCable reported this month, based on compiled media reports.
Most of Nigeria’s recent jailbreaks seem unconnected although the attacks are carried out in a similar manner using explosives, according to security analysts. A good number of those who have escaped in such attacks were awaiting trial. Nigerian prisons hold 70,000 inmates but only about 20,000, or 27%, have been convicted, according to government data.
Nigeria’s extremist insurgency, carried out by Boko Haram and an offshoot known as the Islamic State West Africa Province, is blamed for violence that has caused the deaths of more than 35,000 people and displaced more than 2 million people, according to the U.N. The prolonged instability, hunger and lack of health services caused by the insurgency have indirectly caused the deaths of more than 300,000 additional people, says the U.N.
The extremists’ violence is the most serious security challenge in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country with 206 million people, which also is battling violence in the northwest area by rebellious herdsmen and a separatist movement in the country’s south. | https://www.kxan.com/news/international/jihadis-attack-jail-in-nigerias-capital-600-inmates-escape/ | 2022-07-06T23:07:06Z | https://www.kxan.com/news/international/jihadis-attack-jail-in-nigerias-capital-600-inmates-escape/ | false | 37 |

Living in northern Michigan brings the realization of the need to make the most out of every day of the summer season because it essentially goes by in a blink of an eye.
Somehow the “lazy, hazy” and “dog days” of summer no longer exist in most of our busy lives. It used to seem as a kid that summer went on forever in our minds, but when you get older it’s more a case of wondering “Where the heck did it go?”
For months leading up to summertime, many of us talk and make plans for things we hope to do during that season. However, the reality of it is that summer lasts about three and a half months at the most in places like Manistee County, so you really can’t waste a second of it.
Wrapped into that short period you need to budget time for recreational activities, the enjoying great seasonal foods and cookouts, time to complete outdoor home repair projects as well as work in a family vacation before the kids feel they are too old to go with or out working to earn money for college.
It’s certainly not an easy task, but more importantly the ticking clock in our heads is wrapped around the words, “If you don’t use it (this time of the year), you will lose it” as we try to squeeze 50 pounds of activities into a 25 pound box.
Whew! Just thinking about all that can make your head spin and it’s kind of like running up a steep hill full speed and feeling you will never make it to make it to the top. Or it’s like feeling I am in Spain running with the bulls and a big bull named “Fall” is gaining ground on me so fast I feel his hot breath on my neck.
What happens in the end can probably at best be likened to author John Steinbeck’s famous words, “And so go the best laid plans of mice and men.” Meaning some of the things we plan leading up to it just don’t happen in summer.
However, there is one area I always do succeed in every summer. Being an avid lover of summer foods all I have to do is see a sign in a fruit market or grocery store with the words “locally grown” and my mouth instantly starts watering.
Hey, we have to eat no matter what the season, so why not pack in lots of locally grown vegetables now like broccoli, tomatoes, lettuce, celery, asparagus, radishes, onions, squash, sweet corn, green beans, sugar peas, cauliflower and so much more.
There is just is no comparison to the taste of those local grown vegetables to the ones we eat (when we can even find some of them) the other eight months of the year. What makes them even better for me is the opportunity to cook them on the grill because that is a real treat.
Likewise the strawberries, watermelon, melons, blueberries, raspberries, cherries that all come out of local fields this time of the year become a dessert second to none. Who needs cake or brownies when you can enjoy fruit for dessert or on your breakfast cereal?
However, like I said earlier the local ones don’t last long in the markets or stores so gobble them up whenever you see them because they will be gone before you can say “rutabagas.”
It’s the same with summer fun activities like swimming, beach walking, golfing, boating, camping and biking — that window of opportunity swings open and bangs shut in such a hurry you have to jump at every chance that presents itself or lose it. That is especially true to someone with kids. School sports activities begin about the second week of August and many begin classes before Labor Day, so it is vital to plan those family outings early on.
Summer is also the time most extended families gather at least once to see all those relatives they do their best to avoid the other months of the year. That usually takes up a day as well.
After the cool spring we endured this year many of us are stunned that the Fourth July has already come and gone. For many that is like the midway point of the summer and as we gaze at our “summer to do” list, it becomes a little daunting.
It’s especially true for a working couple with kids; finding vacation from work at the same time can be challenging because everyone at the office or plant all want the same time off. Toss on top of that the unpredictable Mother Nature as several days of rain can send vacation plans down faster than the Titanic.
Toss on top of that the house still may need painting, the steps have to be fixed, windows need to be resealed, the car could use a wash and wax, and the grass and … for the love of God the grass … the dang grass NEVER stops growing.
So take heart everyone out there in knowing you are all like the rest of us in running that race we will never win of getting all our summer plans done before the leaves start changing colors. However, the fun of it all is trying and we will keep doing that long after I see you again on Monday.

The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has expressed sadness over the passing of the outgoing Secretary-General of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, Mohammed Barkindo, who died on Wednesday at age 63.
This was as he condoled with the family of the deceased, his colleagues at OPEC, as well as the government and people of Adamawa State.
Buhari’s condolence message is contained in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, titled ‘We have lost a huge national asset, President Buhari pays tribute to Mohammed Barkindo.’
Adesina wrote, “The President pays tribute to the remarkable gentleman and enormous national asset, who from his youthful days worked meritoriously in the service of the nation in various national and international capacities, and never stopped being a beacon of light to the country he loved until his last breath.
“The President affirms that Barkindo’s undeniable brilliance and legacies as a dedicated public servant will remain a reference point in the oil and gas industry, international development and the environment sector.”
Buhari also recalled that Barkindo’s profound decency and mien greatly endeared him to Nigerians and other nationals who came in direct contact with him as a young Principal Administrative Officer with the Nigeria Mining Corporation; Special Assistant to the Minister of Mines, Power and Steel as well as Minister of Petroleum Resources; and later in his 24 years of service in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation; Nigerian Delegate to OPEC Ministerial Conferences; Nigeria’s Governor for OPEC; and leader of Nigeria’s technical delegations to the climate change negotiations since inception in 1991 that produced the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol to the UNFCCC.
He saluted the former OPEC Chief for his leadership especially during turbulent times in 2016 and 2020.
Buhari noted that the Declaration of Cooperation birthed under his watch helped strengthen and consolidate OPEC/non-OPEC cooperation and dialogue.
He conveyed his deepest condolences to Barkindo family, colleagues at OPEC, as well as the government and people of Adamawa State; praying God almighty to grant repose to the soul of the departed and comfort to all who mourn. | https://punchng.com/weve-lost-national-asset-buhari-mourns-barkindo/ | 2022-07-06T23:11:27Z | https://punchng.com/weve-lost-national-asset-buhari-mourns-barkindo/ | true | 5 |
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles County’s progressive prosecutor could be tossed from office like his counterpart in San Francisco after opponents on Wednesday said they would submit more than enough signatures to qualify for an election to recall District Attorney George Gascón, who they say is soft on crime.
The campaign spent about $8 million to gather 717,000 signatures they planned to deliver by truck to the Los Angeles Registrar for verification. Even if 20% of signatures are invalidated, which has been typical in California recall efforts, the number would still exceed the required 567,000. That figure reflects 10% of the registered voters in the nation’s most populated county.
Tim Lineberger, a spokesman for the recall campaign, said the signature gathering was the hardest part of the campaign.
“I wouldn’t say it’s in the bag or we’ll be complacent, but as far as public opinion is concerned, George Gascón is toast,” he said.
If certified, the election would be the latest in a string of recall elections in California that have mostly targeted progressives in a state known for its liberal streak. Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom was one of the few survivors, winning by a large margin in September.
Last month, San Francisco voters frustrated with a rash of property crimes, including brazen shoplifting caught on video and attacks against Asian American people, drove District Attorney Chesa Boudin, a former public defender, from office. The vote came after a special election that ousted three San Francisco school board members in February.
Gascón, a former San Francisco police chief who then became DA in that city, won office in Los Angeles in November 2020 as part of a wave of progressive prosecutors elected nationwide.
He ran on a criminal justice reform platform after a summer of unrest following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
Gascón vowed not to seek the death penalty, not to prosecute juveniles as adults or seek cash bail. He said he'd be tougher than his predecessor, Jackie Lacey, the first woman and Black person to run the office, when it came to prosecuting police who killed someone in the line of duty.
But Gascón immediately ran into problems running the nation's largest local prosecutor's office when he told deputies they shouldn't seek longer prison sentences for repeat felons and those carrying guns, among many other changes that were seen as soft on crime. They sued and won a court order to reverse some of his policies.
An effort to recall him began almost immediately but quickly sputtered when they didn't gather enough signatures. The most recent effort, however, has been far more successful.
Historically, about 20% of signatures for recall campaigns are thrown out because someone who signed the petition wasn’t registered to vote or provided an incorrect address, said Joshua Spivak, a Senior Research Fellow at Berkeley Law’s California Constitution Center and author of a book on recall elections. That means they would need about 680,000 signatures to have the cushion needed.
If it does qualify for the ballot, history is on the side of the recall supporters, Spivak said. About 60% of recalls that made the ballot nationwide have succeeded.
Gascón criticized the signature-gathering process, in which people are paid as much as $15 for each signature they collect. He said some of those people use sleazy tactics to get voters to sign the petition even when they know little about the people they're trying to push out of office.
Gascón said he was approached by a person at Costco collecting signatures for his ouster who asked if he wanted to get the rapists out of his neighborhood. The man, who said he was from Florida, didn't realize who Gascón was.
“It's a very mercenary approach,” Gascón said. “Most people think that they're all volunteers who care about their community and there's a number of those, don't get me wrong. But the bulk of signatures are being collected by ways that are extremely misleading.”
Gascón said he was confident he would survive any recall attempt.
“Much like we saw what happened with the governor’s race," he said. “They got the signatures to put him on the ballot and then they lost miserably and I fully suspect that that will be the same thing here.” | https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/Group-aims-to-harness-anger-over-crime-to-oust-LA-17288652.php | 2022-07-06T23:12:01Z | https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/Group-aims-to-harness-anger-over-crime-to-oust-LA-17288652.php | true | 14 |

TIOGA, Pa. (WETM) – The police officer who shot and killed a 12-year-old boy in Cleveland almost eight years ago has been sworn in as the Tioga Borough Police Officer, according to the Borough Mayor.
Timothy Loehmann was sworn in at the July 5, 2022 Borough meeting, Mayor David Wilcox confirmed, saying to the best of his knowledge, it is the same Timothy Loehmann as the one who was fired from the Cleveland Police Department after the 2014 killing. Wilcox claimed that the council did not allow him to see Loehmann’s resume when they interviewed him, adding that he had nothing to do with the hiring process.
Hours after the meeting, Council President Steve Hazlett posted a photo on Facebook, saying “Timothy Loehmann is your new Tioga police officer.” The photo showed Loehmann getting sworn in at the meeting.
Hazlett’s post prompted a firestorm of controversy and criticism in the comments.
18 News reached out to Borough Council President Steve Hazlett, as well as other Borough and County Officials, but none of them responded. The Borough Office is closed for the entire week of July 3.
Former Cleveland Police Officer Timothy Loehmann drew national attention in November 2014 when he shot and killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice. Rice, who was black, had a pellet gun tucked in his waistband at the time of the shooting.
In statements provided after the shooting, Loehmann and his partner Officer Frank Garmback said that Loehmann had given Rice several commands to show his hands. Both officers also said they saw Rice reaching for the pellet gun.
Prosecutors said the two officers were the only witnesses in the “vicinity of the shooting”, the Associated Press wrote.
A grand jury didn’t indict Loehmann. He was later fired in 2017 for reportedly providing false information on his job application. In July 2021, the Ohio Supreme Court denied Loehmann’s appeal to get his job back.
In December 2020, the United States Justice Department said it wouldn’t bring federal charges against Loehmann. And in early 2022, the Justice Department reaffirmed this decision, saying it wouldn’t reopen the probe into Tamir’s death.

Justice Department investigating Texas’ Operation Lone Star border security mission
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Department of Justice is investigating Texas’ $3 billion border security mission known as Operation Lone Star for potential civil rights violations, according to state records.
The Federal Coordination and Compliance Section of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division sent a letter to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) on May 16, saying that they’ve been made aware of potentially unlawful activity related to the border security mission.
“The Department is seeking this information after receiving information indicating that DPS may be discriminating on the basis of race and/or national origin in its activities related to Operation Lone Star by targeting certain individuals for arrests for misdemeanor trespass violations and traffic stops based on their perceived or actual race or national origin,” Christine Stoneman, the chief of the Federal Coordination and Compliance Section, wrote in the May letter to top DPS officials.
Texas DPS told Fox News Digital on Wednesday that they are cooperating with the request.
Amanda Hernandez, a spokesperson for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), said that the DOJ also requested information from them in March 2022 “regarding the agency’s efforts to support Operation Lone Star.”
“TDCJ provided the information that was requested,” Hernandez told Fox News Digital in a statement. “The agency has and continues to follow all state, and federal laws as the state of Texas responds to the ongoing crisis at the border.”
The Texas Tribune and ProPublica originally reported the news of the DOJ’s investigation into Operation Lone Star on Wednesday.
“If you are not already aware, the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ is investigating Operation Lone Star,” a lawyer at the Department of Public Safety wrote in an email on May 23 to another official, according to an investigation by the news organizations.
BORDER PATROL ARRESTS OF MIGRANTS ON TERROR WATCH LIST AT SOUTHERN BORDER SPIKE
Gov. Greg Abbott launched the operation last year, saying that ramped-up enforcement by the state is necessary amid inaction by the Biden administration.
Thousands of state troopers and National Guard members have been dispatched to the border and granted arrest powers. Abbott has also offered thousands of migrants bus rides to Washington, D.C.

There were 239,416 migrant encounters at the southern border in May, a new record surpassing the previous all-time high of 235,478 encounters that was set in April.
After 53 migrants died in an abandoned tractor trailer in San Antonio on June 27, Gov. Abbott planed to ramp up Operation Lone Star further by implementing more truck inspections along the border. | https://1010wcsi.com/fox-politics/justice-department-investigating-texas-operation-lone-star-border-security-mission/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=justice-department-investigating-texas-operation-lone-star-border-security-mission | 2022-07-06T23:29:55Z | https://1010wcsi.com/fox-politics/justice-department-investigating-texas-operation-lone-star-border-security-mission/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=justice-department-investigating-texas-operation-lone-star-border-security-mission | true | 2 |

Jackie Groenen
Dutch midfielder Jackie Groenen has a passion for judo, but chose pro football instead. Find out how she went with the pitch over the mat —and won the Euros with the Netherlands in the process.
Jackie Groenen. Midfielder, Dutch. Born: 16 December, 1994.
Once there was a girl who was torn between two sports. At just 17, Jackie was building a career as a footballer and a judoka—someone who competes in judo, a form of martial arts from Japan.
Jackie made it onto her first professional football team when she was a teenager, and she kept competing in national judo tournaments when she could. After one tournament, though, Jackie had to tell her football coaches that she’d broken her hip during the competition and couldn’t play. She knew then that it was time to make her choice.
She weighed her options. Football was so exciting: The lights! The speed! The bond of a team! But she also felt drawn to the careful discipline of judo. In her judo matches, it was just Jackie and her opponent, no distractions.
“Deep down, I think I always knew it was going to be football.”
Jackie wasn’t sure she was ready to decide which of her two passions she’d pursue for the rest of her career. With football, Jackie knew she might be able to play in important tournaments like the Women’s Euro and the World Cup. With judo, she was on track for the Olympics.
She thought and thought, trying to picture her future in both sports. She relived the rush of slamming a ball straight past the goalkeeper and the glory of gripping and tossing her opponent onto the mat. She made her decision.
And now, jogging onto the pitch, Jackie isn’t looking back. When she and her teammates are in sync, they work together in perfect harmony, passing and scoring and laughing together after a success. She’s already gotten to (and won!) one Women’s Euro, and she’s ready to join her country for another! | https://www.nike.com/pt/en/a/jackie-groenen-football-stories | 2022-07-06T23:34:12Z | https://www.nike.com/pt/en/a/jackie-groenen-football-stories | false | 11 |

Singer songwriter Kym Gouchie feels a special layer of connection when she plays in the Shuswap – or Secwepemcúĺecw, Secwépemc territory.
Gouchie played at Song Sparrow Hall in Salmon Arm on June 18 and will be returning to the Shuswap on July 7 at 7 p.m. for Music in the Bay in Blind Bay.
Gouchie has roots in the area; as a youth she spent summers with her great grandmother and grandmother in Chase. She said she felt held by the audience in Song Sparrow Hall.
“Because I just knew every person that was there wants to be part of this reconciliation work being done in this country. So it felt really good to know I could talk about and sing about whatever it was… I didn’t have to hold back anything.”
She also appreciated being accompanied by Naomi Kavka, who played cello and guitar.
“It’s like the cello for me brings another layer of healing. So every time I’m singing, I’m actually feeling that healing power and energy just coming even from Naomi.
“I guess the word is cathartic, when I’m able to be joined by a cello. It’s like that every single time and it’s like a different feeling every time.”
Kavka has performed with Gouchie on and off since 2015.
“We’ve been through a lot together and so, just being able to meet each other where we’re at on stage and to know that we’ve got each other’s back. I love that people sense that on the stage,” Gouchie said.
Kavka said she felt lucky to perform with Gouchie and was happy to return to Salmon Arm.
“The last time I was there was at the festival four years ago. It was nice to get to play in such an intimate venue,” she said of Song Sparrow Hall. “The crowd was super sweet and the sound was lovely; it’s a very sweet venue.”
Kavka said her family moved a lot when she was young and then settled in Prince George when she was 12. It was in Prince George she started taking cello lessons. She studied classical music in Victoria and St. John’s, Newfoundland, then came back back to northern B.C. where she met up with Gouchie.
She said although she has her own music career outside of playing with Gouchie, “I jump at any opportunity I get to perform with her so I’m pretty excited – I can look forward to a long future performing with her.”
Gouchie said touring will be her focus for the next few months, where she will continue to advocate for healing and reconciliation. She said the findings of children being buried at residential schools across Canada has created an awareness.
“It opens up people’s hearts and minds. I believe that when we can change a heart, we can change a mind, and then we can change the community. That’s what I’m really hopeful for; we’re going to have a big shift in the way that we get along.”
Kym Gouchie’s website can be found at www.kymgouchie.com and her Facebook page is here.
In Blind Bay, Gouchie will be accompanied by her piano player, Brigitte Demeter, who lives in the North Okanagan.

B.C. is now compensating family doctors for the extra time they need to spend on some patients with COVID-19. It’s one small step toward a time-based payment model many doctors would like to see expanded to all patient visits.
The new compensation system, known as a time modifier, came into effect on July 1 and recognizes the fact that prescribing medications for treating COVID-19 can be complex and time intensive. Usually, family doctors in B.C. are paid around $30 per patient they see, regardless of how long it takes. The new time modifier, though, let’s them charge $43.50 for up to four 15-minute assessments a day for patients who qualify for COVID-19 treatment.
“It’s great, but what about the rest of our patients that need more of our time?” Dr. Maryam Zeineddin, a West Vancouver family doctor and one of the chief negotiators for Doctors of BC working with the government on reform, told Black Press Media.
It’s a sentiment numerous family doctors around the province have voiced since the time modifier came into effect. What about the those with cancer, the people who just miscarried, the patients who got diagnosed with diabetes? Those people are also deserving of more time, doctors say.
The problem with the current fee-for-service system, according to family doctors, is that the only way they can keep their clinic’s doors open and pay themselves a salary is by seeing as many patients as fast as possible. Family doctors are paid around $30 per patient visit, but Doctors of BC estimates 30 to 35 per cent of that goes to overhead costs.
Sidney-based family doctor Dr. Laura Asplin said this results in three options for someone in her position: pump through as many patients as possible with the risk of providing lower quality care, provide as much time as needed to each patient and subsist on almost no income, or work unpaid hours at home and risk burnout.
“Most doctors, because we do care about patients being taken care of properly, choose option three of being overworked,” Asplin said.
What many doctors would like to see is a model that compensates them based on the time they spend with a patient. This is the case in Alberta, where family doctors are paid a base fee for the first 15 minutes of a visit and then an extra amount for every 10 minutes afterward.
Dr. Carllin Man, who practised in Alberta before moving to Burnaby, said that model results in better care for patients and lower stress for doctors. More time spent in preventative care means less time spent in the emergency room, Man said, pointing to a 2018 study from the University of Alberta that found just that. Long-term, a greater investment in family doctors could mean health-care savings for B.C., Man figures.
Zeineddin echoed Man’s thoughts, adding that when family doctor’s time is valued – through a time-based payment model or otherwise – it means they can provide care with equity instead of equality.
In her role as chief negotiator for Doctors of BC, Zeineddin said she’s pushing for a system in which having a family doctor isn’t just a privilege, but a right. Doctors of BC estimates close to one million British Columbians are currently living without a family doctor.
The Ministry of Health declined to comment on whether implementing a time-based payment model more broadly is on the table, but noted it is in discussions with Doctors of BC about changes in general.

Singapore - Close to 250 participants representing 20 countries and territories gathered in Singapore to discuss how they can help tackle the world's most pressing challenges at the Youth Co:Lab Regional Summit 2022. Centered around the themes of Youth in Climate Action and Leaving No Youth Behind, attendees united behind a common agenda to accelerate the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through leadership, social innovation, and entrepreneurship.
Hosted in Singapore the hybrid summit by Citi Foundation and UNDP is being held in partnership with the National Youth Council Singapore (NYC). Over 3,000 people also registered to join us online from more than 100 countries through the Youth Co:Lab virtual platforms.
During the two-day summit, attendees will engage with private and public stakeholders including governments, investors, incubators, and accelerators, to discuss youth leadership and empowerment for sustainable development, innovative financing solutions, gender inclusive entrepreneurship ecosystem, and the future of work.
The summit was launched with opening remarks by a series of key speakers that included Mr. Christophe Bahuet, UNDP's Deputy Regional Director for Asia and the Pacific; Mr. Peter Babej, Asia Pacific CEO, Citi; Mr. Alvin Tan, Minister of State for Culture, Community and Youth, and Trade and Industry of Singapore; Ms. Jayathma Wickramanayake, UN Secretary General's Envoy on Youth; Ms. Lei Motilla, Co-Founder, AI4GOV, Philippines; and Ms. Michelle Yeoh, UNDP Goodwill Ambassador.
"With Asia Pacific being home to 60% of young people worldwide, it is crucial that we harness the ingenuity and potential of youth in the region to address society's most pressing concerns, including climate change," said Peter Babej, Asia Pacific CEO, Citi. "The annual Youth Co: Lab Summit will further expand the ecosystem that is being created to support social entrepreneurship among youth in the region by bringing together relevant stakeholders and participants. Along with our partners at UNDP, we are committed to creating economic and employment opportunities for young people in the region while advancing the UN SDGs," he added.
"If given space and a voice, the youth are powerful actors in addressing some of the world's toughest development challenges and UNDP is committed to supporting and mobilizing young people, especially social entrepreneurs who are driving innovation in communities across the Asia Pacific region," said Christophe Bahuet Deputy Director of UNDP's Regional Bureau for Asia and the Pacific. "This summit is an invaluable opportunity to join with these young determined drivers of social justice and enterprise, to expand our efforts towards building a greener, more inclusive, and sustainable future."
Minister of State for Culture, Community and Youth, and Trade and Industry, Alvin Tan kicked off the summit with opening remarks centred around the importance of partnerships in empowering and equipping our youth to take action.
Over twenty young social entrepreneurs will also pitch their innovative solutions on the themes of Climate Action, Women Empowerment and Leaving No One Behind.
The Summit will also look at the catalytic role young social entrepreneurs can play in tackling the climate crisis. The findings from a Youth Co:Lab research report titled Climate Concern to Climate Action: The Role of Young Social Entrepreneurs, will be the focus of that discussion. In a survey conducted of 1,085 young entrepreneurs from 25 countries across the region, 74 percent said they anticipate climate-related challenges to negatively impact their business; and 66percent said they are actively engaged in offering products or services to mitigate the impact of climate change through policy, advocacy and education, and skilling for green jobs. Findings from the study will be formally launched after the summit.
Implemented in 28 countries and territories, Youth Co:Lab, co-created by UNDP and the Citi Foundation, in 2017, is the largest youth movement for empowerment, social entrepreneurship, equality, and social inclusion in Asia Pacific. Young people all over the world are responding to present day challenges with innovative approaches and fresh ideas, building bridges and creating the world they want. Youth Co:Lab works closely with multiple stakeholders across the region, including governments, civil society and the private sector, to strengthen the entrepreneurship ecosystem and policy environment, to better enable young people to take the lead on new solutions that will help achieve the SDGs.
Since its inception, the initiative has reached over 200,000 participants, benefitted over 11,000 young social entrepreneurs, and helped launch or improve over 1,240 social enterprises.

'Gentleminions': Here's why a TikTok trend has teens wearing suits to 'Minions: The Rise of Gru'
"Minions: The Rise of Gru" did gangbusters over the weekend. The latest film in the "Despicable Me" franchise of a would-be villain and his bizarre yellow henchmen had the biggest opening ever over the July 4 holiday.
For all its success in drawing audiences back to theaters, distributor Universal Pictures has, at least partially, the "Gentleminions" to thank.
Watch the trailer for "Minions: The Rise of Gru" in the video player above.
Gentleminions are young people who film themselves dressed in formalwear, flooding unsuspecting movie theaters to see the newest "Minions" flick and hollering at the screen like they're lining the ring at Wrestlemania. TikTok teens are arguably not the audience Illumination had in mind when concocting the latest slapstick-heavy animated children's film, but they've turned out in droves anyway thanks to the viral trend — the hashtag #Gentleminions has over 22 million views and counting on the platform.
The Gentleminions are not always welcome, though. They're showing up at theaters everywhere from the U.S. to Australia and countries in between, causing chaos to the point that some theaters have banned them from buying tickets to "Minions" if they come dressed in a suit.
If you spot a Gentleminion at a viewing of "Minions," don't panic — they're typically harmless, if irksomely obsessed with the little yellow menaces. Here's how the odd trend came to be — and how teenage boys on TikTok became the Minions' biggest fans.
How Minions became ironic icons
To understand the Gentleminions, one must first understand the Minions themselves.
Minions first hit the scene when the first "Despicable Me" premiered in 2010. Immediately, viewers were drawn to the oblong creatures in overalls who served villain-turned-softie Gru. With names like Kevin and Bob, a penchant for drag and a wholly unique delivery of the word "banana," the Minions endeared themselves to audience members across generations — including Facebook users of a certain age, some of whom started sharing memes of Minions that convey the thankless exhaustion of parenthood.
And then there are the ironic Minion memes, those shared by irreverent young people and jaded adults. The Minions, these users postulate, are funny because they are not funny, but they're so unfunny that the same memes have become funny again. Somehow, within that cycle of earnestness and irony, the Minions have become what they've always striven to be: Comedy legends.
Now, in 2022, the children who grew up with Minions are now young adults and very fluent in internet-speak. Enter the Gentleminions.
The Gentleminions wear suits and wreak light havoc
To be a Gentleminion, one must arrive at the movie theater in formal attire — usually a suit and tie. Then, after one has purchased a ticket to "Minions: The Rise of Gru," one must film themselves before, during and after the film to demonstrate their excitement. One must cheer, leap up in glee and generally disrupt the viewing experience to inhabit the Gentleminion ethos. And then, of course, one must post their excursion on TikTok, setting the clip to a song called "Rich Minion" by the rapper Yeat.
Why dress up for a night at the theater? Bill Hirst, an Australian teen whose Gentleminions video has received millions of views, told Variety it was all "just for fun" after he and his friends saw another group of boys on TikTok who donned suits to the movies.
"We just chucked on our suits and went straight to the cinemas," he said. "It was very spontaneous"
In a few cases, though, the Gentleminions' mostly innocent revelry has soured. The only movie theater in Guernsey, in the British Isles, had to cancel screenings of the film after a horde of Gentleminions vandalized the theater and led some children at the screenings to leave in tears, its manager told the BBC.
Some American theaters have also seen light vandalism: A representative for a major theater chain who wasn't authorized to speak on the record told the Los Angeles Times that its employees have been alerted to the trend after some Gentleminions caused minor property damage, though it doesn't currently have rules in place to stop them from seeing the film.
Some theaters shut them out, but the Minions support their fans
Movie theaters have long been the preferred domains of many a raucous teen, but the Gentleminions have pushed many theaters to their limits. In the U.K., several theaters have banned certain young people from purchasing tickets to the film as a result of the chaos in Guernsey and other locales, the Guardian reported. One theater said it would not admit any "unaccompanied children wearing suits" who came to see the Minions make mischief.
Whether American cinemas will take the same steps to curb the chaos remains to be seen. CNN reached out to national chains AMC, Regal and Cinemark for comment on their response to the Gentleminions trend and is waiting to hear back.
Meanwhile, Universal Pictures has wholeheartedly embraced the Gentleminions: In a tweet last week, the company wrote: "to everyone showing up to @Minions in suits: we see you and we love you."
The Minions themselves even sent the Gentleminions a video salute on TikTok, wishing them "Bobspeed." Their new "fans" might be seeing the film for disingenuous laughs, but the Minions are taking their teasing all the way to the bank. | https://www.ksbw.com/article/tiktok-trend-teens-wearing-suits-to-minions/40531509 | 2022-07-06T23:45:10Z | https://www.ksbw.com/article/tiktok-trend-teens-wearing-suits-to-minions/40531509 | false | 10 |
WASHINGTON COUNTY — Work is expected to begin Monday, July 11 on WIS 167 between WIS 164 and WIS 175 in Washington County.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) said WIS 167 will be closed to traffic. The roadway will remain open to businesses and residents, and a detour will be posted. The project is expected to be completed by late summer.
The last highway rehabilitation project covering the 3.5-mile segment of WIS 167 was in 1997, WisDOT said.
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers signed a $2.09 million contract to resurface the area. According to WisDOT, the contract consists of:
- Pavement base patching
- Asphaltic milling and resurfacing to place a new layer of asphalt on the roadway
- Guardrail replacement and slope grading in guardrail areas
- Potential minor culvert repairs

NEW YORK, July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On July 1, 2022 Roche Freedman LLP ("RF") and Schneider Wallace Cottrell Konecky ("SWCK") filed a class action lawsuit for violations of federal securities laws against Solana Labs, Inc., the Solana Foundation, Anatoly Yakovenko, Multicoin Capital Management LLC, Kyle Samani, and FalconX LLC ("Defendants").
Plaintiff Mark Young, a resident of California, alleges that Defendants violated Sections 5, 12(a)(1), and 15 of the 1933 Securities Act, and Sections 25110 and 2550 of the California Corporations Code. Plaintiff's claims are based on Defendants' sale of Solana securities without any registration statement in effect, and their promotion of unregistered Solana securities.

Plaintiff alleges that Solana issues securities that are required to be, but are not, registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Throughout the Class Period, Defendants promoted Solana securities and sold them to investors such as Plaintiff, who has suffered losses from purchasing Solana securities.
Not later than September 6, 2022, which is sixty days from the date of publication of this notice, any member of the proposed class that is identified in Plaintiff's complaint may move to the Court to serve as Lead Plaintiff through counsel of their choice. The rules for the Lead Plaintiff process are provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "PSLRA").

Any member of the putative class may also choose to do nothing and remain a member of the proposed class. The ability to share in any potential future recovery from this class action is not dependent on moving for or serving as Lead Plaintiff.

Rudy Gobert reads Twitter comments, so he’s aware that Minnesota fans didn’t like him very much during his first nine NBA seasons. And he also heard Timberwolves coach Chris Finch complain regularly about the way he sets screens.
Those perspectives are probably going to change.
“Now we’re on the same side, so I’m excited,” Gobert said.
So is Minnesota, with good reason. The Timberwolves announced the acquisition of Gobert at a news conference in Minneapolis on Wednesday, when the trade that they agreed to make with the Utah Jazz last week could finally become official. It took four players, five first-round picks — including one made last month — and the option of swapping another pick to get the French center to Minnesota, and the Timberwolves still feel like they got the better of the deal.
“We think that he fits perfectly inside of what we already do," Finch said.
In a league that has become increasingly positionless, where small-ball reigns at times, the Timberwolves now have two of the league’s very best big men in the same lineup with a three-time defensive player of the year in Gobert playing alongside All-NBA performer Karl-Anthony Towns.
“He doesn’t inhibit anything we have presently,” Timberwolves President of Basketball Operations Tim Connelly said. “He makes it better. He augments what we have presently. So, when we look at fit, it’s not just about talent. It’s about kind of developing the team ... and he’s going to make it better.”
The Utah-Minnesota trade was executed shortly after the NBA’s moratorium on most offseason player movement and contract signings was lifted on Wednesday.
Many of the deals, such as Memphis’ Ja Morant and New Orleans’ Zion Williamson getting rookie extensions worth at least $193 million over a five-season span from 2023-24 through 2027-28 — both now official — were agreed to last week, but couldn’t be completed until that moratorium ended.
Also now signed: Bradley Beal’s new deal in Washington, a five-year contract worth $251 million for the Wizards’ franchise player.
“Today represents such a special moment in my life,” Beal said.
Williamson signed his extension on his 22nd birthday.
“Just want to say thank you all for believing in me, just giving a kid like me a chance to showcase my abilities and help bring the team hopefully multiple championships,” said Williamson, who has missed most of his first three NBA seasons with injuries but got a max extension anyway. “Most of all, I thank you all for really sticking with me the past year.”
The final agreement in the Utah-Minnesota deal was this: Gobert to the Timberwolves for Patrick Beverley, Malik Beasley, Jarred Vanderbilt, Leandro Bolmaro, the rights to newly drafted Walker Kessler, Minnesota’s 2023, 2025, 2027 and 2029 first-round picks and a 2026 first-round pick swap.
Jazz owner Ryan Smith said Gobert “will forever be a part of us.”
“Rudy Gobert had a huge impact on this franchise and the entire state of Utah during his nine seasons with the Jazz,” Smith said. “One of the greatest defensive players in NBA history, Rudy will forever be considered one of the most significant players to wear a Jazz uniform. His love for and impact on this community are impossible to overstate.”
The Jazz saw coach Quin Snyder step down last month after eight seasons and hired former San Antonio and Boston assistant Will Hardy to replace him. Then came the Gobert trade, ending an era in Utah. No team in the Western Conference has won more regular season games over the last six seasons than the Jazz, but the success never carried over into the postseason. Utah made the playoffs in each of those six years, not getting past the second round.
“The window for winning is not always big,” Gobert said. “For us in Utah, that’s kind of what happened. I think the organization felt like that. We had maybe passed that window that we had over the last few years. I think it’s still going to be a very competitive team. It just felt like with all the assets that they could get for me, it was better for them to go that way.”
The Timberwolves might be the opposite. They haven’t seen the second round in nearly two decades, and are betting that Towns, Gobert, Anthony Edwards and D’Angelo Russell can become a core to change all that.
“The goal is to win a championship,” Gobert said. “I came here for that. I didn’t come here just to be a good team. I came here to try to take this team to the finals and accomplish that.”

MNPS test scores improve, despite persisting gap
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - Metro Nashville Public School’s end-of-year test scores came in, and Nashville students outperformed improvement levels statewide. However, students have fallen behind in many pre-2020 achievement levels, even two years after the start of the pandemic.
In a letter to parents, Director of Schools Dr. Adrienne Battle praised students for the seven categories in which their year-over-year percentage point increases exceeded that of other Tennessee districts.
“I’m very proud of the academic success of your children,” Battle said.
She also acknowledged areas needing improvement, and made a commitment to returning to pre-pandemic achievement levels, something students in other parts of the state are testing closer to.
“To be clear, we have further room for improvement in getting our students at or above pre-pandemic levels in many categories. But we can tell that the foundation we have laid over the last school year is strong and is something we can build upon,” Battle said.
“What isn’t surprising, is that we still have gaps,” said Margaret Gormely, manager of learning services and curriculum development at Learning Lab. She said they’ve seen an uptick in families seeking tutoring services since the pandemic began. “We’ve seen an increase in parents, who are going, ‘Hey, my kid’s struggling in math.’ ‘Hey my kid’s struggling in reading.’ ‘My kid doesn’t know how to study.’”
Gormley said much loss of what they call core skills, such as math and reading, can be attributed to loss of executive functioning skills.
“Time management organization, mindfulness, being aware of what you’re thinking at the time, and being able to stop and reframe your thoughts,” Gormely explained, adding that building those skills can be as simple as giving your children more responsibilities around the house. “If I want to make dinner, well, first I have to buy the carrots, and I have to buy the potatoes. And then I have to wash them and cut them. So, it’s learning how to break down tasks into manageable pieces. That translates into life, and that translates into the academic environment.”
She also stressed reading to and with your children.

It Takes Two!'The Bachelorette' Preview Teases Gabby Windey & Rachel Recchia's Unprecedented Season: 'He Never Loved Me ..."
Jul. 6 2022, Published 4:09 p.m. ET
There's less than one week to go until fans of The Bachelorette get to witness Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey embark on their journey to find love, and if the commercial preview is any indication, there's going to be twice as much drama, tears and roses!
The video starts out on a hopeful note, as Recchia insists, "I have no doubt, we are going to meet our fiancés."
This is the first time any season in the Bachelor franchise has had two leads, so needless to say, things aren't going to be easy, as even Windey admits, "We're figuring out things as we go."
Other footage shows the ladies and their 32 suitors traveling the world, as host Jesse Palmer reveals they've be sailing along the northern coast of Europe.
At one point, Windey is seen in tears and asks if she's made a "mistake," while another man seems to tell Recchia that he didn't want to accept her rose since he's "here for Gabby." Another scene sees Windey declaring, "He never loved me."
WOULD 'BACHELOR' ALUM PETE WEBER WANT TO GO BACK ON REALITY TV? HE SPILLS
Both of the leads were finalists on Clayton Echard's season of The Bachelor, and though he professed his love for each, he changed his mind after the fantasy suites and decided to purse Susie Evans instead, who had left on her own accord shortly beforehand.
Since Windey and Reccia were left jilted, the show decided to give each of them another shot at love and hand out the roses together.
Some viewers felt it was unfair for the women to have to share the spotlight, but so far, they've vocalized their support for the other.
"Having a friend by my side is the best thing I could ask for," Windey noted, while Reccia added, "I feel like we both have been through so much, so I’m ready for us both to get our happy ending."
Bachelor alum Catherine Guidici exclusively told OK! that she's looking forward to seeing how the fresh take on things plays out.
"It will be a really interesting season," she shared. "I think the Bachelor always does a good job of adapting and trying to figure out a way to please their audience, so I am excited to see what they do." | https://okmagazine.com/p/bachelorette-preview-gabby-windey-rachel-recchia/ | 2022-07-06T23:51:29Z | https://okmagazine.com/p/bachelorette-preview-gabby-windey-rachel-recchia/ | false | 1 |

According to Us Weekly, the two first met when Bullock hired Randall to photograph her son Louie's birthday party in January 2015. By August of that year, the two were stepping out together on multiple occasions and even attended Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux's wedding side by side.
IS SANDRA BULLOCK READY FOR MARRIAGE WITH HER LONGTIME BEAU BRYAN RANDALL?
“He’s the guy who will always get the door or get her jacket and help put it on,” an insider told the outlet in 2017 of their dynamic. “Bryan takes care of her in all of the right ways. She feels loved and appreciated all of the time.”
“He’s the example that I would want my children to have,” the actress said of her longtime love. “I have a partner who’s very Christian and there are two different ways of looking at things. I don’t always agree with him, and he doesn’t always agree with me. But he is an example even when I don’t agree with him. … We’re saying it differently but we mean the exact same thing.”
As OK! exclusively reported, the Oregon native has been a wonderful influence in the lives of The Proposal star's 12-year-old son and daughter Laila, 10.
“Bryan is a wonderful father figure. He’s so patient and kind with Louis and Laila and always helps with whatever they need — even when he’s tired,” the insider revealed, adding Bullock often leaves Randall with the kids when she needs to go to work on location. “She feels so lucky to have him in her life.”
Despite being together for close to a decade, the couple have yet to get engaged. However, that may change since the kids are itching to see them as husband and wife.
“The kids have an innate sense of how things should be, and as Sandra has learned, they’re usually right,” the source continued. “At the end of the day, Sandra feels like she’s faced her demons and is ready for her next chapter. She loves Bryan and can’t imagine life without him.”
Still, Bullock may have cold feet about officially tying the knot. “For years, Bryan hasn’t wanted to push too hard because he knows her last marriage ended so badly," the insider spilled.
“Sandra can be very stubborn, and the more he pushes, the more she shuts down," the insider went on to say. “Bryan’s proven he’s never going to betray Sandra so he takes it personally that she won’t take that next step with him.” | https://okmagazine.com/p/everything-know-sandra-bullocks-relationship-bryan-randall/ | 2022-07-06T23:51:41Z | https://okmagazine.com/p/everything-know-sandra-bullocks-relationship-bryan-randall/ | false | 1 |

CHICAGO (WGN) — Former “Cheer” star Jerry Harris has been sentenced to 12 years in prison in his federal child porn case.
Additionally, the 21-year-old is facing eight years of supervised release after his prison term. He will be required to register as a sex offender for life and faces an initial fine of $55,000 with more restitution to be determined.
In February, Harris pled guilty in a deal to one count of receipt of child pornography and another of traveling with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct.
At the time, prosecutors said if the case had gone to trial, their evidence would have shown that in the summer of 2020, while Harris was living in Naperville, Illinois, he communicated with a minor – whom he knew was under 18 – via Snapchat, repeatedly asking for photos of a sexual nature.
Regarding the second charge, Harris traveled from Dallas to Orlando in May 2019 with the intent to engage in sexual conduct with a 15-year-old, whom he asked to meet in a public bathroom.
Earlier this year, the defense team shared a statement with Nexstar’s WGN, saying the criminal conduct “took place in the context of a competitive Cheer Community where inappropriately sexualizing and sexually abusing children was far too common and too often overlooked. Jerry was himself exploited, manipulated, and sexually abused as a child within the Cheer Community in a way that perversely made him believe that this sexual conduct was somehow normal when it was not.”
The statement went on to say Harris had been in therapy since his incarceration in October of 2020.
“Cheer” was a successful Netflix docuseries that followed the competitive cheerleading squad from Navarro College in Corsicana, Texas. Harris became popular for his upbeat attitude during the show. | https://www.nwahomepage.com/news/national/former-cheer-star-jerry-harris-sentenced-to-12-years-for-child-porn/ | 2022-07-06T23:53:35Z | https://www.nwahomepage.com/news/national/former-cheer-star-jerry-harris-sentenced-to-12-years-for-child-porn/ | false | 19 |

ABetterABK plans walkout over inadequate company reproductive protections
The Committee Against Sex and Gender Discrimination has scheduled a walkout in protest of Activision Blizzard's poor response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
With Roe v. Wade overturned, it has become more important than ever for various companies to stand up for their employees’ safety and health in the face of rights squashed by the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the US Supreme Court. Activision Blizzard claims to have set up some protections to aid employees in this regard, but workers at the company are concerned that they are inadequate and don’t cover a variety of situations. As talks have apparently failed, ABetterABK has planned a walkout to push management towards better protection of employees’ reproductive rights and health.
ABetterABK announced its plans for a walkout on its main Twitter in collaboration with the employee-led Committee Against Sex and Gender Discrimination. The walkout is scheduled to take place on July 21 unless demands are met, which include expanding protections of employees in at-risk states due to the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
“For background on why this walkout is being held, the company's current healthcare policies do not adequately protect the workers of ABK,” ABetterABK’s twitter thread alleges. “The presently offered $4000 reimbursements for out of state medical care currently leave employees open to legal prosecution in their home state. Travel reimbursements do not remove workers from imminent danger. Our demands ensure that our workers safely, affordably, and legally maintain access to life saving procedures like abortions and trans-affirming healthcare.”
The thread goes on to say that the Committee Against Sex and Gender Discrimination has attempted to maintain dialogue with Activision Blizzard management, but in the past year, said management has dismissed concerns. ABetterABK alleges that a similar situation occurred leading up to the announcement of this walkout:
“Two months ago, the Committee Against Sex and Gender Discrimination delivered a list of demands to company leadership for the protection of marginalized groups. Rather than meeting with us when we went public with these demands, they chose to respond to media outlets.”
With Activision Blizzard continuing to coast towards an acquisition by Microsoft, it has seemingly taken action only where entirely necessary, including recognition of a union formation at Raven Software, which was supported by Xbox lead Phil Spencer and Microsoft soon after. Nonetheless, ABetterABK’s demands have been made and a date for the walkout is set. Stay tuned as we continue to follow this story for further updates.

HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. — The suspected gunman in a Fourth of July parade shooting “seriously contemplated” committing a second shooting in Madison after he left Highland Park — where he is accused of killing seven and wounding several others.
A judge denied bond on Wednesday for Robert “Bobby” Crimo III, 21, who was charged with seven counts of first-degree murder on Tuesday. Officials said he sprayed more than 70 rounds from a rooftop into a crowd attending a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park. Prosecutors said he reloaded his weapon three times.
Lake County State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart said if Crimo is convicted of the first-degree murder charges, he would receive a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole. He promised that dozens more charges would be sought.
Crimo appeared in bond court virtually Wednesday morning where a bond was denied. Officials spoke at a press conference afterward and said a motive for the shooting is still unclear.
Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli said while the motive for the mass shooting is still unknown, he said Crimo had some sort of affinity toward the numbers four and seven, and the inverse which is seven and four.
“When asked what the obsession with those number meant, he said it has something to do with the music he listens to,” Covelli said.
Rinehart said after Crimo’s arrest, he confessed to officials and admitted to the shooting.
In court, which was held virtually through Zoom, the suspect mainly looked down, only lifting his head when the case against him was read out loud.
WATCH: Prosecutor, police official speak after bond denied for alleged gunman
The attack happened at the downtown parade around 10:10 a.m. on the Fourth of July after shots were fired near Central Avenue and 2nd Street.
Officials said Crimo was wearing a dress and long-haired wig — possibly to hide his distinctive neck and face tattoos — and was able to blend into the crowd, posing as a bystander. After the shooting, he went to his mother’s home where he took her car and left the area. He was caught after someone recognized him and phoned North Chicago police.
He was arrested on Route 41 in Lake County after several hours of being wanted. Police said Crimo was able to drive into Wisconsin and back into Illinois during the manhunt. Their investigation revealed that when Crimo drove to Madison he saw a celebration there and contemplated using the firearm in his vehicle to commit another shooting, police said.
Crimo legally bought five weapons, including two high-powered rifles used in the shooting. Authorities said Tuesday that the purchases were allowed even though police were called to his home twice in 2019 for threats of violence and suicide.
On Wednesday evening, police released a picture of the gun that was found in Crimo’s vehicle after he was arrested on Route 41.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Lake County Coroner’s Office identified six of the seven victims. They are; Catherine Goldstein, 64, of Highland Park, Irina McCarthy, 35, of Highland Park, Kevin McCarthy, 37, of Highland Park, Jacki Sundheimm, 63, of Highland Park, Stephen Straus, 88, of Highland Park and Nicolas Toledo, 78, of Morales, Mexico.
The seventh victim was identifed Wednesday as 69-year-old Eduardo Uvaldo. He was pronounced dead around 7:45 a.m. that morning.

Stranger Things 4 Takes a Stand in the War on Pineapple Pizza
"Too much flavor awesomeness can't overpower your battery, can it?" This is the question Argyle asks Eleven in the opening act of the Stranger Things 4 finale, after dropping a freshly-based Surfer Boy Pizza pie on the table between her and Mike. Argyle mentions earlier in the season that people should "try before you deny" when it comes to putting pineapple on pizza, a debate that will likely rage on until the end of time. In the finale scene, Argyle finally gets someone else to try his hot fruit creation and, in doing so, gets Stranger Things involved in the eternal pineapple pizza war.
Both Mike and Eleven look puzzled by the idea of pineapple on a pizza, but they take two very different courses of action. If you watched Ted Lasso, you probably have the famous phrase "Be curious, not judgmental" seared into your brain. That life lesson plays out in real time as Mike and Eleven are gifted with Argyle's pie.
As he does with most things, Mike Wheeler immediately complains and throws a fit when presented with the mere concept of pineapple on pizza. "That's insane," he tells Eleven, disgust across his face. "That's blasphemous. Putting fruit on pizza?!" Mike is judgmental. Eleven, on the other hand, is curious.
While neither Mike nor Eleven have ever tried pineapple on pizza before, the latter chooses to take Argyle's catchphrase to heart. "Try before you deny." After a puzzled look, she ignores Mike's complaints and goes in for a bite. You can see the delight spread across her face as she realizes she's been missing out on something spectacular for so long. "It's good," she says. "Really good." She tries, and therefore has no reason to deny, proving Argyle was onto something all along.
Stranger Things isn't afraid to take a stance in the pineapple on pizza argument. Yes, Mike is against the idea, so one might argue that the series is simply showing two sides of the debate. But the hypothesis presented by the show itself paints Mike not as someone who has another opinion, but as someone who is too judgmental to miss something great, even when it is sitting right in front of him. After all, this is the kid that didn't notice his best friend sobbing uncontrollably in the car not even a foot away from him.
When it comes to pineapple on pizza, or just life in general, follow Eleven's lead. Try before you deny. Be curious, not judgmental. | https://comicbook.com/horror/news/stranger-things-pineapple-on-pizza-eleven-surfer-boy/ | 2022-07-07T00:07:07Z | https://comicbook.com/horror/news/stranger-things-pineapple-on-pizza-eleven-surfer-boy/ | true | 1 |
The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Wednesday overturned an appeals court decision in a controversial open records case, ruling that a group of taxpayers were not entitled to attorney’s fees in a lawsuit they filed against Waukesha after the city delayed the release of records responsive to an open records request.
The high court’s ruling, which was met with ire from open government advocates, stemmed from a 2017 lawsuit between a group of Waukesha residents and the city.
The taxpayer group, Friends of Frame Park, filed an open records request with Waukesha on Oct. 9, 2017, seeking information about the city’s plans to bring an amateur baseball team to the community. Taxpayers requested city officials “include any Letters of Intent (LOI) or Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) or Lease Agreements between Big Top Baseball and or Northwoods League Baseball and the City of Waukesha during the time frame of 5-1-16 to the present time frame."
The city fulfilled the records request, but withheld a proposed draft contract between Waukesha and Big Top Baseball, because “the City's negotiating and bargaining position could be compromised by public disclosure of the draft contract before the Common Council have had an opportunity to consider the draft.”
On Dec. 18, 2017, believing the city erred in its decision not to release the contract, the taxpayers filed a lawsuit in Waukesha County Circuit Court. Two days later, following a Dec. 19, 2017, common council meeting, the city released the draft contract to the group.
Judge Michael Bohren sided with the city, concluding that Waukesha “properly withheld certain public records temporarily in response to the record request.” Friends of Frame Park appealed the decision, and an appeals court reversed Bohren’s decision.
The appeals court ruled that Waukesha’s decision to withhold the draft contract while negotiating “was unwarranted and led to an unreasonable delay in the record's release” and ordered that the taxpayer group was “entitled to some portion of its attorney’s fees.”
Wisconsin’s high court on Wednesday reversed that appeals court ruling, finding in a 4-3 decision that people seeking information via an open records request that results in a lawsuit are only entitled to attorney’s fees if there is “some judicially sanctioned change in the parties’ legal relationship.”
That marks a significant change in the state’s open records law — now requiring judicial intervention to become entitled to recovering attorney’s fees — and has sparked concerns among open government advocates that the state’s expansive sunshine laws could become clouded.
Justice Jill Karofsky, who authored the dissenting opinion, said the majority’s decision “will chill the public's right to an open government.”
“And the majority/lead opinion does not stop there,” she continued. “It also condones the City's patently inapplicable ‘competitive or bargaining’ excuse to deny Friends timely access to a proposed contract. The result is that Friends are denied the attorney fees to which it is entitled for bringing a claim to enforce its rights when Friends had no other recourse.”
Tom Kamenick, president and founder of the Wisconsin Transparency Project, derided the decision in a statement. “This is not what the state Legislature intended or wrote when they enacted the Open Records Law in 1982,” he said. “The law doesn’t say a plaintiff has to get a court order, it says a plaintiff has to ‘prevail.” When you get the records you sued to obtain, you’ve prevailed — you’ve obtained the result you wanted.”
Wisconsin Freedom of Information Council President Bill Lueders also bashed the decision.
He called it a “body blow to the state’s traditions of open government,” adding that the decision “undermines the provision in the open records law that allows litigants to recover actual costs and attorney’s fees in cases in which access to records is wrongfully denied.”
“The court’s conservative majority has created new opportunities for authorities to deprive the public of access to public information,” he said. | https://captimes.com/news/government/wisconsin-supreme-court-makes-significant-change-to-state-s-open-records-law/article_8570deaa-49d3-51ea-a206-e5dbe3f4789b.html | 2022-07-07T00:10:09Z | https://captimes.com/news/government/wisconsin-supreme-court-makes-significant-change-to-state-s-open-records-law/article_8570deaa-49d3-51ea-a206-e5dbe3f4789b.html | false | 1 |

The Warehouse Group has unveiled four custom EV trucks to service its home delivery network which are the first in the market to deliver whiteware, general appliance and larger items. The trucks add to the Group’s expanding fleet of light electric vehicles and will operate in Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga and Christchurch from next week.
The purpose-built trucks will fulfil customer deliveries in a 220km roundtrip radius from the distribution centres in the respective locations. Each truck features a hard side boxed rear cabin with a 2-metre tail lift on the rear.
The Warehouse Group Chief Sustainability Officer David Benattar says the roll out of the EV trucks is an exciting new step in the Group’s continued progress in decarbonising its operations and forms part of its broader set of sustainability commitments.
“Moving goods to our customers is an essential part of our operations and decarbonising our transport and logistics is one of our business priorities.”
“It is our hope that the introduction of these trucks will accelerate the commercial uptake of electric vehicles because we will be able to demonstrate their viability in operational practice.”
The Warehouse Group’s acquisition of the EV trucks was part funded by the government’s Low Emission Vehicles Contestable Fund, administered by EECA (Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority).
EECA Transport Portfolio Manager Richard Briggs said “Heavy vehicles have a disproportionate carbon footprint, so investing in electric really pays off. Right now, there are only a little over 200 heavy EVs registered in New Zealand, so we’re pleased to support organisations like The Warehouse Group who are taking a leadership role in the sector and encouraging others to electrify their own fleets.”
Benattar says the acquisition of the EV trucks is an investment in the Group’s ongoing transition to EV which is an integral part of supporting the country’s efforts to decarbonise our economy.
“As one of New Zealand’s largest retailers, we recognise that we have a crucial role to play, but we cannot do it alone. The deployment of decarbonisation solutions requires collaboration between a wide group of stakeholders to make them economically viable and operationally successful.
“The introduction of our EV truck fleet is a perfect demonstration of what can be achieved with partner collaboration.
In 2019 The Warehouse Group met its goal to transition 30% of its vehicle fleet to EV before the end of that year. Currently 59% of the Group’s passenger fleet is EV, with plans to transition 100% to electric within the next 24 months. The transition of 70 LPG forklifts to electric is planned within the same timeframe.
The Warehouse Group’s leadership in climate action was recognised when it was recently awarded an A- by the Carbon Disclosure Project in its CDP score for 2020, putting in it the highest category of “Leadership” and acknowledging that the Group was implementing current best practices in the fight against climate change. | https://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentId=23498 | 2022-07-07T00:24:17Z | https://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentId=23498 | false | 1 |

Animal shelters in crisis as owners return pets in record numbers
BATON ROUGE - The adorable puppies and kittens up front and on display at Companion Animal Alliance don't reflect what's going on behind the scenes.
"Shelters are kind of at a crisis point throughout the country. We're obviously no different," CAA director Jill Sergio said.
At the parish-run shelter, they're on pace to intake 11,000 pets this year. Last year they had 9,500.
"We've seen this year about a 40 percent increase in owner-surrenders than we have in years past. We're also seeing more stray animals, a lot of which we believe are owned."
The strays and surrendered dogs have to stay in kennels lined up against the wall in a separate room. On Tuesday, they had 40 come in.
"Now, we are having to make euthanasia decisions. We are doing it on space, which is something we haven't had to do in years."
In the past, pets on the euthanasia list were saved by shelters like CAAWS, but a related shortage is preventing that as well.
Trending News
"If we could get some of these puppies in foster homes then we would have room to go and pull dogs who may be on the euthanasia list," Libby Haydel with CAAWS said.
Shelters say too many animals and not enough adoptions or fosters are directly linked to one thing.
"Costs are going up around the country. Our people are struggling. I think if you're having to choose between feeding your pet and feeding your children, you choose your children," Sergio said.
Likewise, the rescue organizations that usually help pet owners get food—like Rescue Alliance in Gonzales—are inundated with applications.
"We're bringing in between 250-400 applications every week. With the cost of gas rising and everything, the demand has over quadrupled," director Jonathan Henriques said.

FORT WORTH, Texas -- A north Texas woman was shot in the face for possibly flashing her high beams at another driver on July 4, authorities say.
The woman was driving in Fort Worth along Kings Oak Lane at about 3 a.m. when police say she came across a car with their high-beams on.
Authorities said she flashed her beams to get the other driver to dim their lights, but that's when police believe someone in the other car shot at her.
Police said the woman drove herself to a 7-11 asking for help.
Family told WFAA the car shown in someone's home camera is that of the victim's.
The shooting has left her family in a state of shock.
SEE ALSO: Motorcyclist appears to have fired shots at other driver on I-45 before crashing, deputies say
The victim's son, who asked for his face not to be shown, hopes this doesn't happen to someone else.
"There was no need for this to have happened. She was on her way to work, she was just trying to tell the guy, 'Dude your lights are bright- they're bright and they're blinding me, and I can't see,'" the son said.
Officials said the woman ended up in the hospital and is now at home recovering, but the suspect who allegedly shot her is still on the lose.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — One note submitted to the federal judge sentencing a 38-year-old California woman for embezzlement claimed that a biopsy had revealed “cancerous cells” in her uterus. Another indicated that she was undergoing a surgical procedure, and her cancer had spread to the cervix. Yet another letter warned she “cannot be exposed to COVID-19” because of her fragile state.
But federal officials say the notes and cancer were all fake, and now Ashleigh Lynn Chavez is headed to prison for three times as long. The court this week added an additional two years to her initial, one-year prison sentence.
The fake claim of having cancer kept Chavez out on bond from the time of her guilty plea in 2019 to embezzling more than $160,000 from her former employer through her sentencing hearing on March 31, 2021. The notes then bought her an additional three months of freedom by the judge who believed she was getting medical treatment, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of California.
All told, Chavez was able to avoid being locked up for six months, federal officials said.
Chavez’s attorney, Benjamin Kington, said in a sentencing memorandum that Chavez was “terrified” about being separated from her newborn son, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
The notes also claimed she was too ill to work and could not make restitution payments to her former employer.
Two different attorneys hired by Chavez believed the notes were authentic and submitted them to the court, according to federal officials.
By August 2021, the notes forged by Chavez were asking the court to permit her to serve time in home confinement. In one forged note, attributed to a San Diego-area oncologist, Chavez wrote that “(a) year in prison could be a death sentence for my patient.”
Federal authorities contacted the doctors named in the letters who denied writing them, though Chavez had been a patient of one of the physicians, according to federal officials.
“This defendant went to appalling lengths to avoid her initial prison sentence by falsifying medical documents to claim she had cancer. This offensive conduct is an affront to every person fighting that battle,” FBI Special Agent in Charge Stacey Moy said in a statement. | https://www.wtrf.com/news/weird/ap-strange-news/california-woman-fakes-cancer-forges-notes-to-avoid-prison/ | 2022-07-07T00:49:31Z | https://www.wtrf.com/news/weird/ap-strange-news/california-woman-fakes-cancer-forges-notes-to-avoid-prison/ | true | 40 |
CHICAGO (AP) — A woman — stunned and speechless in the chaos of a July 4 parade massacre — walked up to Greg Ring and handed him a 2-year-old boy, covered in blood.
Ring had fled the scene in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park with his wife and three children to an area behind a popular pancake house.
“We kind of met eyes and didn’t say anything…. I put my arms out, and she gave him to me,” Ring said Wednesday, when describing the exchange with the unidentified woman, who then laid down in front of their car in shock.
The boy pointed in the direction of the parade route, saying “Mommy, Daddy, Mommy, Daddy.”
Ring’s wish to help the boy carried him back to the scene. He tucked the boy’s face in his chest, so he couldn’t see the carnage. But Ring quickly realized it was too dangerous.
“Active shooter! Get back down!” a police officer shouted. Ring fled again.
He and his family got to their car and took the boy to a Highland Park fire station. “I have a boy. He’s not ours,” he told the department staff, who asked him to keep the boy as authorities searched for the shooter and helped the wounded.
“They were getting ready for war,” Ring said.
The family drove to Ring’s in-laws, where they hunkered down. There, the boy sat with Ring’s 4-year-old, watching a Mickey Mouse show.
“He asked my wife to wipe him off because he had blood on him that wasn’t his,” said Ring, an insurance broker from Highland Park.
They were later able to identify the boy and reunite him with his grandparents, with the help of other community members and the police, after his photo circulated on social media.
Aiden McCarthy’s parents, Kevin and Irina, both died in the shooting, which left five others dead and more than two dozen wounded.
A family member said Irina’s parents would care for the boy going forward.
“Aiden … will have a long road ahead to heal, find stability, and ultimately navigate life as an orphan. He is surrounded by a community of friends and extended family that will embrace him with love, and any means available to ensure he has everything he needs as he grows,” Irina Colon wrote on a GoFundMe account she created for the family and Aiden. Colon, who described Irina McCarthy as family on her Facebook page, has raised more than $2 million so far.
One of hundreds of donors wrote, “Aiden, as a momma of another 2 year old boy, my heart is breaking for you. I am so sad your little heart has to endure such a devastating loss. No child should have to go through what you are. Stay strong, sweet boy!”
On Wednesday, Ring was still trying to process what happened at the July 4 parade. He said he’s not a hero and just did what anyone would have done in the situation.
“I’m just filled with immense gratitude. I’m really sad. I don’t know. I don’t know how I feel. I have not slept for a minute the last two nights,” he said.
“What could’ve happened — it is nothing short of a miracle that the five of us — me, my wife and my three kids — one of us or all of us isn’t dead. I do not understand. Everybody around us was hit or got shot.”
According to a report in the Chicago Sun-Times, Irina McCarthy was born in Russia and later immigrated to the Chicago area with her parents. Her father told the Sun-Times that she and husband Kevin met through their jobs — hers in pharmaceuticals and his at gene therapy startup. Aiden’s paternal grandmother also was injured during the July 4 attack, the Sun-Times said.
The five others who died were identified as Katherine Goldstein, 64; Stephen Straus, 88; Jacquelyn Sundheim, 63; Nicolas Toledo-Zaragoza, 78; and Eduardo Uvaldo, 69. | https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/national/in-the-midst-of-chaotic-shooting-strangers-save-a-young-boy/ | 2022-07-07T00:49:55Z | https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/national/in-the-midst-of-chaotic-shooting-strangers-save-a-young-boy/ | false | 49 |
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WCIA) — New information shows in addition to paying more the at pump, people can expect to pay more behind the wheel.
The average cost of a car note is now more than what some people are spending in rent.
And these rising numbers are filling many drivers with fear.
At 700 dollars a month, the ability to afford a new vehicle is out of reach for most Americans.
While dealerships are noticing fewer cars and less foot traffic, the auto body repair shops are seeing business like they’ve never have.
“Not a lot of vehicles out there, used-vehicle wise, and a lot of people now can’t afford newer cars, so it kind of brings them a lot anxiety when they do get into an accident. They’re worried that if it does total out, are they going to be left with a check that isn’t going to be able to cover the cost of a new car,” said Collision Repair manager, Christopher Tatman.
The repair shop manager advises everyone to keep up with their routine car maintenance as a way to get as much life out of their vehicle as possible. But for those who have already hit that limit, financial experts suggest buyers begin to prepare to do a little extra work on their end.
U of I Credit Union’s vice president, Greg Anderson, had this to add, “You know you shop for everything. So, you’re shopping for a car, looking for a good price. Shop for a loan as well. There’s all types of different loan rates out there. We’ve done a lot of new car but also used car lending has been a focus for us for years.”
An unexpected car expense is hard to plan for, especially in today’s financial climate. Tatman says making sure your tires have enough tread and you’re staying up to date on oil changes is a good place to start.
If maintenance isn’t an option, getting a preapproval on a car loan as a way to set a price point while shopping is one way to lighten the load. | https://www.wcia.com/news/average-car-payment-hits-monthly-cost-of-700/ | 2022-07-07T00:50:37Z | https://www.wcia.com/news/average-car-payment-hits-monthly-cost-of-700/ | true | 2 |

Anthony Albanese Announces $1000 Disaster Recovery Payment To Flood Victims From Tomorrow
Relief for food effected residents
Alex Ellinghausen
Soon after returning from his NATO trip, and before visiting flood-affected regions, the Prime Minister announced this morning that stricken families will be able to access to relief payments from Thursday.
“I can say the Australian government has made a decision already that the disaster recovery payment will be available from tomorrow. That will be $1,000 for every eligible adult who has been impacted here. $400 for every child will be available across the 23 local government areas that have been impacted so far,” he told ABC TV.
Stay up-to-date on the latest news with The National Briefing - keeping you in the loop with breaking news as it hits
The announcement is addition to the initial assistance flagged by the federal and New South Wales governments a couple of days ago.
Disaster assistance was announced on Monday for flood effected residents across 23 local government areas (LGAs) following severe storms and flooding from 27 June 2022, which continue to impact large areas of Sydney and the New South Wales coast.
The LGAs are Blacktown, Blue Mountains, Camden, Canterbury Bankstown, Campbelltown, Central Coast, Cessnock, Fairfield, Georges River, Hawkesbury, Hornsby, Kiama, Lithgow, Liverpool, Northern Beaches, Penrith, Shellharbour, Shoalhaven, Sutherland, The Hills, Wingecarribee, Wollondilly and Wollongong.
Assistance is being provided through the jointly funded Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
Albanese said working alongside state governments was paramount, particularly at a point when “People have conflict fatigue.”
“They don’t want to see governments arguing. They don’t want to see governments acting with the sort of childish comments we’ve seen, with some of new federal counterparts in the last day, criticising me for not making a phone call while I was in the Ukraine, on radio silence, without any radio equipment, where I travelled from Saturday.
"Premier Perrottet has been extremely responsible with the way he has acted," Albanese said. "I’m very pleased that my government...have worked closely in partnership. That’s what people want. People want governments to work together in the interests of the population, not to engage in politics.
The prime minister confirmed that every adult resident across the 23 local government areas, which were declared natural disaster zones on Monday, will be eligible for the payment.

Highland Park police ‘clear and present danger’ warning insufficient to keep alleged parade shooter from purchasing rifle, state police say
Two days after a mass shooting at the Highland Park Independence Day parade shocked the country and put renewed focus on weaknesses in Illinois’ gun laws, authorities continued to hash out how alleged gunman Robert Crimo III apparently bought a high-powered rifle despite troubling episodes in his background.
A 2019 report from Highland Park police warning that Crimo could pose a “clear and present danger” did not meet standards to declare him an imminent threat, said representatives of the Illinois State Police, which administers permits. And nothing under current law would have stopped them from issuing him a gun permit a few months later, ISP Director Brendan Kelly told reporters Wednesday.
Crimo went on to legally obtain several firearms — including the rifle he allegedly used to shoot dozens of people at the Highland Park parade this week.
Lake County prosecutors said in court Wednesday that Crimo fired a Smith & Wesson M&P15 semi-automatic rifle and had three 30-round magazines with him when he opened fire from a rooftop.
When he was done, there were 83 shell casings left where he allegedly positioned himself for the attack that killed seven and injured dozens. Crimo faces multiple counts of first-degree murder connected to the massacre; he was ordered held without bail after a brief hearing Wednesday.
His FOID card was approved in January 2020, four months after Highland Park Police told state police someone had reported Crimo making threats in his household to “kill everyone.”
“We’ve done a very thorough vetting over the past 48 hours looking into every aspect of this,” ISP Director Brendan Kelly said Wednesday. “And if you look at the report that was understandably submitted by the Highland Park Police Department, in response to the information that they had, and then you look at the law with regards to clear and present danger … that did not meet that threshold.”
When Crimo later applied for the FOID, “All the things that under the law that would be able to help us stop from issuing a firearms identification card, none of those factors were present at the time,” Kelly said. Typically those stops include a felony conviction or committal to a mental health facility.
Officials revealed this week that, while Crimo did not previously have any significant criminal record, police had twice been in contact with him in 2019.
The first contact police had with Crimo was in April 2019 when they were called because Crimo had allegedly attempted suicide about a week earlier. Officers determined that the matter was being handled by mental health professionals.
On Sept. 5 of that year, someone reported to police that they were told Crimo made threats on Sept. 2 to “kill everyone,” according to public records released by Highland Park.
Police made contact with Crimo for a well-being check, and Crimo “admitted to being depressed” on the day he allegedly made the threat, a police report states.
“Robert was not forthcoming as to the language that he used on (Sept. 2) nor was his mother,” the report states.
Crimo denied that he felt like harming himself or others, and police removed more than a dozen knives from his bedroom closet; his father Robert Crimo Jr. said they were his. Police returned the knives to Crimo’s father.
No arrests were made. Highland Park police did, however, submit a Clear and Present Danger report to Illinois State Police regarding Crimo.
State regulations require law enforcement and school officials to complete such a report when they determine someone might pose an imminent threat of harm to themselves or others. When state police receive the report, they are responsible for making the final determination about whether the threat is valid.
And, Kelly said Wednesday, the Highland Park police report did not meet that standard.
“What we have here is an officer that looked at a report and he saw a single individual make a report to another individual about a threat made by (Crimo),” Kelly said.
“The police tried to corroborate that. They could not corroborate it. They had the individual saying that they were neither a threat to themselves or others. And you had the mother also agreeing with that individual.”
The available text in the redacted police reports does not specifically state that Crimo’s mother disputed the threat of violence or agreed that Crimo was not a threat; however, some portions of the reports were blacked out.
In addition, when the report was filed, Crimo did not have a FOID card or a pending application. So at the time they received the report, there was nothing to revoke or deny, Illinois State Police officials said earlier this week.
Crimo’s father was not living with Crimo or Crimo’s mother at the time of the alleged 2019 threats, according to Steve Greenberg, an attorney for the parents.
Greenberg told the Tribune that Crimo’s father did not know about the incident involving his son’s alleged threats when he sponsored Crimo’s FOID application a few months later.
Crimo was 19 when he applied for the gun permit in December 2019. Anyone under 21 must have their application “sponsored” by a parent or guardian, according to state police. The sponsor is required to fill out an affidavit swearing that the sponsor does not have any felony convictions, drug addictions, or recent institutionalizations for mental health reasons — that is, that the sponsor would be eligible for a FOID.
Illinois State Police reviewed his application in January 2020, and issued Crimo his FOID card. In February 2020, Crimo bought the Smith & Wesson rifle he allegedly used to shoot dozens of people at this year’s parade.
Crimo legally purchased five firearms in total between 2020 and 2021, including the Smith & Wesson. Crimo had no significant criminal history, and passed several background checks in the process of purchasing his guns, according to state police.
Meanwhile, some lawmakers still had questions about how Crimo’s FOID card application was approved.
““If we have people who are legally buying guns and they are what we consider the wrong people, we have to stop that,” said Democratic State Rep. Kathleen Willis of Addison, who has sponsored legislation aimed at strengthening the FOID laws. “... How can we make sure we have all of the best information going forward so we don’t have the wrong people buying guns in this state?”
In a statement, a spokesperson for Gov. J.B. Pritzker said the administration would “once again review everything we know about this gunman in the context of our laws and determine what more we can do to continue our public safety work.”
“As this investigation progresses in the coming weeks we will learn more about this incident and if the law may have fell short, and it is imperative we have all of the facts so we can work together to strengthen the laws already on the books,” said the statement from Jordan Abudayyeh.
Federal officials were able to trace the weapon after Crimo apparently dropped it as he exited the area.Authorities have said he apparently left it behind while dressed as a woman, perhaps to aid him in blending in with the fleeing crowd as he escaped the parade route.
The serial number on the firearm was traced by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, which determined it had been manufactured by Smith & Wesson. In all traces, agents then contact manufacturers to find out where the weapon was shipped, typically for sale.
That point of sale is also investigated by ATF agents, who interview the federally licensed dealer who sold the rifle. Paperwork retained by FFL dealers includes the name of purchasers, officials and experts have said, in this case Crimo.
The name of the FFL dealer is being withheld because interviews are still being conducted about the sales, said Lake County Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Chris Covelli, a spokesman for the task force investigating the shooting. | https://news.yahoo.com/highland-park-police-clear-present-003300547.html | 2022-07-07T01:04:56Z | https://news.yahoo.com/highland-park-police-clear-present-003300547.html | true | 3 |
MIAMI (AP) — Sandy Alcantara pitched eight dominant innings in his second straight win, and the Miami Marlins beat the Los Angeles Angels 2-1 on Tuesday night for their sixth straight victory.
Alcantara (9-3) allowed two hits — singles by Luis Rengifo in the fifth and Mike Trout in the seventh — in his 11th consecutive outing of at least seven innings. The right-hander struck out 10 and lowered his ERA to 1.82.
“I just try to stay consistent, go out there every fifth day and fight for my team,” Alcantara said. “Every time I can pitch seven, eight innings I feel satisfied. It’s a long career and you have to stay healthy.”
Tanner Scott earned his 10th save, surrendering Taylor Ward’s sacrifice fly before retiring Jared Walsh on a liner to center for the final out.
Garrett Cooper and Bryan De La Cruz homered for Miami. Joey Wendle had two hits.
Marlins manager Don Mattingly considered giving Alcantara the opportunity for consecutive complete games. But with a prolonged bottom of the eighth, which included a pitching change, Alcantara was done after 107 pitches.
“It’s hard because Sandy is your best guy no matter where you are,” Mattingly said.
Trout snapped an 0-for-16 skid with his infield single leading off the seventh. The three-time AL MVP struck out in his first two at-bats against Alcantara.
Reigning AL MVP Shohei Ohtani went 0 for 3 with a walk. Ohtani, who turned 28 on Tuesday, reached on a fielder’s choice in the seventh and stole his ninth base of the season.
“We came back, we fought, we’ve been doing everything we can,” Angels interim manager Bill Haselman said.
Alcantara retired his first 14 batters before Rengifo’s soft line drive to right.
Cooper connected against Noah Syndergaard (5-7) in the third, driving a 3-2 pitch over the wall in left-center for his sixth homer.
De La Cruz went deep in the fifth. It was his sixth of the year.
Syndergaard allowed five hits, struck out eight and walked none in five innings.
“Some of my stuff didn’t have swing and miss action,” Syndergaard said. “Got away with some pitches and made it through five.”
Umpire Lance Barrett ejected Miami right-fielder Avisaíl García for arguing balls and strikes in the fourth.
SCANT SCORING CHANCES
The Angels had two scoring opportunities against Alcantara. After his two-out single in the fifth, Rengifo stole second and advanced to third on catcher Jacob Stallings’ throwing error. But Alcantara struck out Max Stassi to end the threat. Ohtani advanced to third on Ward’s fly ball to deep center before Alcantara struck out Walsh for the final out in the seventh.
“I’ve said it before, I don’t worry when I have men on base,” Alcantara said. “I trust my stuff and have to use it to my advantage.”
UNLIKELY BASE STEALER
Include Jesús Aguilar among the Marlins who have contributed to the club’s NL-leading 65 stolen bases. The husky first baseman got his first career steal in the first. Aguilar, who reached on a throwing error by second baseman Rengifo, beat catcher Stassi’s throw in his successful attempt at second.
“It was an off-speed pitch, that’s why I got it,” Aguilar said. “Finally, I got one after six years.”
DON’T UNPACK
The Marlins’ brief homestand against the Angels interrupts a stretch of 11 road games. Before their two-game set with the Angels, the Marlins finished 5-2 in St. Louis and Washington. They begin a four-game series at the NL East-leading New York Mets on Thursday.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Angels: INF-OF David Fletcher (left hip strain) has been progressing and will take live swings soon.
Marlins: 2B Jazz Chisholm Jr. (right lower back strain) is doing mobility exercises at the club’s spring training complex. … LHP Jesús Luzardo (left forearm strain) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session.
UP NEXT
Ohtani (7-4, 2.68 ERA) makes his first career start against Miami in the closing game of the series Wednesday. LHP Trevor Rogers (4-6, 5.56 ERA) starts for the Marlins.

AILSA CHANG, HOST:
OK, let's take a few minutes to get outside because summer hiking season is here. And in New York's Adirondack Mountains, some of the most popular views are from historic fire towers. NPR's Brian Mann made the trek to a tower on the summit of Hurricane Mountain, leaving early enough to see the sunrise. He sent us this audio postcard.
BRIAN MANN, BYLINE: It's just after 3 a.m. and pitch dark as I head into the woods on a gorgeous summer night, my headlamp picking out the trail ahead of me.
Seeing the sunrise from a mountain fire tower is one of my favorite things. The downside - you have to climb in darkness to make it happen. It's perfectly still as I hike - no birds, no wind. It's a little dreamlike.
(SOUNDBITE OF FROG CROAKING)
MANN: And then I reach a bog on the flank of the mountain. The frogs are already wide-awake. I hike on, using the headlamp to pick my way over roots and rocky streams.
(SOUNDBITE OF FOOTSTEPS CRUNCHING)
MANN: As you might expect, I don't see another soul. The mountain is all mine.
People sometimes ask me if, you know, it's kind of spooky, especially when I'm hiking by myself through the night. And, you know, there is a little bit of a "Blair Witchy" (ph) sort of vibe.
A little haunted, but soon the sky starts to glow - a lilac pre-dawn light that filters through the trees. It's enough I can shut off the headlamp.
(SOUNDBITE OF BIRD SINGING)
MANN: The light is also enough to bring out the birds.
(SOUNDBITE OF BIRDS CHIRPING)
MANN: The next hour, I move higher through birdsong, like a wash of color. We live in a world where forest fires are a growing threat because of climate change. The fire towers here were built a century ago after over-logging led to wildfires that burned nearly a million acres. I break out onto open rock, into the wind, on the summit of Hurricane. Around me, the distant mountains are still dusk blue, topped in mist with deep shadows in the valleys. Up ahead, I see the tall metal spire with a little cabin on top. These structures aren't used anymore by fire spotters. There are better, more modern ways to spot and track blazes. But roughly half the Adirondack towers are still standing, and most are open to hikers.
I've climbed to the top of the fire tower, and you can hear the wind just crackling around me. It's fierce up here.
Fierce, but warm - the summer wind rich with smells of pine and dusty rock. Looking from the tower window, the eastern sky glows brighter. And just after 5 a.m., the sun pops cherry red on the horizon. The last darkness washes away as the mountains and forest are colored with rose light. Brian Mann, NPR News, in New York's Adirondack Mountains.

OSCODA — The Oscoda Wurtsmith Air Authority awarded the $6,000 Aerospace Education Scholarship to Audrey Alexander, a graduated senior from Oscoda High School at their Monthly meeting Thursday, June 23.
Then they voted on new equipment airport staff went shopping around for.
The first piece of equipment was a new stump grinder/mulcher.
“We have almost nine miles of fence line that require a ton of work,” said Airport Manager James Downes.
The airport has concentrated on clearing woods around certain areas of the fence line to clean things up and clear the air around the airport.
Logging has made the airport $18,000 in wood sold, half the amount required to pay for a new stump grinder.
“There’s a lot of things you look at and this checks all the boxes, said Airport Assistant Manager Jack Brown.
The stump grinder would be able to grind down any stump under 9 inches, however it can grind down larger stumps at lowered speeds. It would be an item mounted on the front of a skid steer and chew into the wood.
Board member Mike Munson said the teeth’s low 150 hour lifespan are offset by cheap teeth replacement costs.
Board member Anne Richards said she wanted crew to be careful when grinding an area so as not to hit fawns. Fawns lie low in the grass and can be hit by such equipment if nobody’s looking out.
Downes said it would be cheaper to outright buy a stump grinder than rent one at the the rate of $5,000 per week, when the job will take over three months.
The board then approved to buy the stump grinder.
Then the board approved to purchase an LED powered airport beacon to replace the old beacon which is out dated and out of replacement light bulbs.
“We have zero parts for that beacon, it is expensive, it’s about 75% more to operate.”
The beacon is so old, they’re considering giving it to the Air Museum.
The new beacon with LED’s should cut down on power.
The only downside is the production waiting time, which is about 3 months out from order.
The board approved allotting an $18,000 budget to purchase and install the new beacon.
The board approved moving next month’s meeting a day forward to July 20, which will allow Downes and Brown to attend an Airport 101 course by the Michigan Department of Transportation.
The airport approved a special use permit for a fly in weekend on August 20 and 21. Pancake breakfasts will be served from 8 to 11 a.m.
Bids for maintenance on taxiway A are now in. The winner awarded the contract is Rieth Riley for $6,909,697, over $2,850,000 under estimated costs by engineers.
“They have been with us before on the runway, so that’s great with us,” said Downes.
Mike Munson wanted to make a public statement regarding some comments people have made about his relation with Phoenix Composite.
“I provide flight instruction on the airport and I do provide it for Phoenix Flight Service. As a certified flight instructor, I provide flight instruction in owner aircraft as well as provide instruction in Phoenix Flight Service owned aircraft. The training for Phoenix Flight Service customers is paid by the customers and given to me as a pass through expense. I am in no way compensated by Phoenix Flight Service or Phoenix Composite Solution.”
He said he wanted to make clear as an independent contractor, his financial interest is in providing instructor service to those willing to pay. This is regardless of the source of money. He is not affiliated with, compensated or employed by any company. | https://www.iosconews.com/article_8ea28c1e-f946-11ec-8021-e309264d61f0.html | 2022-07-07T01:18:08Z | https://www.iosconews.com/article_8ea28c1e-f946-11ec-8021-e309264d61f0.html | true | 2 |
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Louisiana Supreme Court rejected the state attorney general’s request to allow immediate enforcement of state laws against most abortions in a 4-to-2 ruling late Wednesday.
The majority said only that the court declined to get involved “at this preliminary stage.”
Louisiana's new laws included so-called triggers to make them take effect as soon as the U.S. Supreme Court reversed abortion rights. But a state judge in New Orleans blocked enforcement until he could hear a lawsuit claiming the law is unclear about medical exceptions and when the ban takes effect.
“We look forward to the preliminary injunction hearing on Friday” in district court, said Joanna Wright, an attorney for the north Louisiana abortion clinic that filed the suit, along with others.
Attorney General Jeff Landry tweeted, “Louisiana Supreme Court is delaying the inevitable. Our Legislature fulfilled their constitutional duties, and now the Judiciary must. It is disappointing that time is not immediate.”
Landry's request to lift the hold is premature, Justice Jefferson Hughes III, one of the majority, wrote in a concurring opinion. He said the case should go through district and appellate courts before coming to the state's high court.
Justices William Crain and Jay McCallum disagreed with Hughes and Chief Justice John Weimer stepped aside from the case.
McCallum wrote that plaintiffs hadn’t shown that enforcing the laws before the case could be heard would cause “immediate irreparable injury,” so the hold should be dissolved.
Crain wrote that “these circumstances are at least as compelling as others” where the state's highest court has stepped in.
“While whether these doctors will suffer irreparable harm by being prohibited from performing abortions is debatable, terminating alleged life during the period of the temporary restraining order is irreparable," he wrote.
He also said the justices should step in now to analyze whether the laws were unconstitutionally vague.
Landry's July 1 filing contended that abortion rights advocates who filed the suit “are willfully misreading clear terms in the law in an attempt to manufacture arguments that the statutes are unconstitutionally vague.”
Abortion rights supporters responded that the district court or a state appeal court needed to fully consider and rule before the case goes to the Louisiana Supreme Court. | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/Louisiana-high-court-leaves-abortion-bans-on-hold-17288877.php | 2022-07-07T01:24:30Z | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/Louisiana-high-court-leaves-abortion-bans-on-hold-17288877.php | false | 13 |
On a recent late afternoon, on the thirteenth floor of a high-rise apartment building near downtown Bogotá, the three members of Itinerante are rehearsing a classic piece of Colombian Andean music from the early 1900s, called "Juguete."
At the center of this music, and this band, are three types of stringed instruments, two of them native to Colombia. There's the tiple, a twelve- and steel-stringed guitar-like instrument, played by 33-year-old Diego Bahamón, the bandola, a twelve-string mandolin-like instrument played by 24-year-old Mateo Patiño, and the six-string Spanish guitar of 38-year-old Sebastián Martínez.
By elegantly folding in influences like Led Zeppelin and Queen, the three have quickly moved towards the center stage of the Colombian Andean music scene. They are, according to Paulo Sánchez, director of the Bogotá venue Teatro ColSubsidio, "bringing back the trio format to a superlative level."

Colombo [Sri Lanka], July 7 (ANI): Some 6.26 million Sri Lankans, or three in 10 households, are unsure of where their next meal is coming from, according to the latest food insecurity assessment from the World Food Programme (WFP), released on Wednesday.
In the wake of record food price inflation, skyrocketing fuel costs and widespread commodity shortages, some 61 per cent of households are regularly using coping strategies to cut down on costs, such as reducing the amount they eat and consuming increasingly less nutritious meals.

The UN food relief agency anticipates that even more people will turn to these coping strategies as the crisis deepens. "These days, we don't have a proper meal but eat only rice and gravy," one woman told WFP.
WFP is warning that a lack of nutrition has grave consequences for pregnant women, putting both their own and their children's health at risk, UN News reported.

"Pregnant mothers need to eat nutritious meals every day, but the poorest find it harder and harder to afford the basics," WFP Deputy Regional Director for Asia and the Pacific Anthea Webb said last month.
She told a local television station that by skipping meals, pregnant women were putting themselves and their children's health at risk in a way that "carries throughout your life".
Amid a massive 57.4 per cent inflation rate, steeply increasing food prices have crippled the population's ability to put sufficient and nutritious meals on the table, rendering two in five households without adequate diets.
According to WFP, the food security situation is worst among people working in the farming estates sector - such as large tea plantations - where more than half of households are food insecure.
Sri Lanka is suffering its worst economic crisis since gaining independence in 1948, which comes on the heels of successive waves of COVID-19, threatening to undo years of development progress and severely undermining the country's ability to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), said WFP.
According to UN News, a current oil supply shortage has forced schools and government offices to close until further notice. Reduced domestic agricultural production, a lack of foreign exchange reserves, and local currency depreciation, have fuelled the shortages.
The economic crisis will push families into hunger and poverty - some for the first time - adding to the half a million people who the World Bank estimates have fallen below the poverty line because of the pandemic.
To address the downward spiralling situation, last month WFP launched a $60 million emergency appeal for food and nutrition to assist three million of the most at-risk Sri Lankans.
"We must act now before this becomes a humanitarian catastrophe," warned WFP chief David Beasley in a tweet. (ANI)

BRUSSELS (AP) — European Union lawmakers voted Wednesday to include natural gas and nuclear in the bloc’s list of sustainable activities, backing a proposal from the EU’s executive arm that has been drawing fierce criticism from environment groups and now looks set to trigger legal challenges.
As the EU wants to set the best global standards in the fight against climate change, the decision could tarnish the bloc’s image and question the region’s commitment to reaching climate neutrality by 2050.
The European Commission earlier this year made the proposal as part of its plans for building a climate-friendly future, dividing member countries and drawing outcry from environmentalists over what they criticize as “greenwashing.”
EU legislators from the environment and economy committees objected last month to the plan, setting up Wednesday’s decisive vote in Strasbourg, France. But MEPs rejected their resolution in a 328-278 vote, with 33 lawmakers abstaining. The result was announced to a salvo of applause.
An absolute majority of 353 was needed to veto the proposal. If the European Parliament and member countries don’t object to it by July 11, the so-called Taxonomy delegated act will enter into force and apply as of next year.
Greenpeace immediately said it will submit a formal request for internal review to the European Commission, and then take legal action at the European Court of Justice if the result isn’t conclusive.
“It’s dirty politics and it’s an outrageous outcome to label gas and nuclear as green and keep more money flowing to (Russian President Vladimir) Putin’s war chest, but now we will fight this in the courts,” said Ariadna Rodrigo, Greenpeace’s EU sustainable finance campaigner.
European Parliament rapporteur Bas Eickhout rued “a dark day for the climate and the energy transition.”
The green labeling system from the European Commission defines what qualifies as an investment in sustainable energy. Under certain conditions, gas and nuclear energy will now be part of the mix, making it easier for private investors to inject money into both.
With the EU aiming to reach climate neutrality by 2050 and to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, the commission says the classification system is crucial to direct investments into sustainable energy. It estimates that about 350 billion euros of investment per year will be needed to meet the 2030 targets.
The question of nuclear power has divided environmentalists, energy experts and governments for years, with some arguing it’s an important source of energy because it’s produced with no emissions and thus “clean,” while others say the risks of nuclear reactions are too great and infrastructure is slow and costly to build. Liquid natural gas, clearly a fossil fuel, is roundly criticized in environmental circles.
Germany’s industrial lobby group BDI welcomed the vote, saying it cleared the way for financing the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy.
“Gas is our bridge technology to the renewable age,” said its deputy head, Holger Loesch.
The BDI called for more investments in gas infrastructure, including LNG terminals, to ensure sufficient supply amid the current energy crisis, but added that new gas power plants need to be capable of handling hydrogen eventually.
Introducing gas and nuclear into the equation has divided the 27 member countries amid Russia’s war in Ukraine, and even the parliament’s political groups.
Luxembourg’s energy minister, Claude Turmes, said he deeply regretted the European Parliament’s failure to bloc the commission’s plan, adding that his country — together with Austria — would move ahead with legal efforts to block the labeling of nuclear and gas as sustainable.
Steffen Hebestreit, a spokesman for German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, said that “the German government stands by its position and considers nuclear energy as unsustainable.”
“Nevertheless, the German government believes that the taxonomy is an important instrument for achieving climate protection targets, because it is clear that natural gas is an important bridging technology for us on the way to CO2 neutrality and the inclusion of the use of natural gas in the delegated act takes this into account,” Hebestreit added.
Protests that had started on Tuesday continued Wednesday outside the EU legislature as lawmakers debated the issue.
Environmentalists warned the vote could set a precedent for lawmakers elsewhere to label polluting forms of energy as sustainable.
“We have now officially validated greenwashing by law,” said Tsvetelina Kuzmanova of the climate think tank E3G.
“The process and the decision have been entirely political, not scientific, to only benefit a small number of member states,” she said. “This would not stand a chance in court and will only create more uncertainty for financial markets and jeopardize (the) EU’s climate ambition.”
The youth activist group Fridays for Future said billions of euros could be pumped into gas infrastructure and nuclear power plants as a result of the decision, diverting much-needed funds from renewable alternatives.
One argument for rejecting the proposal is that it will boost Russian gas sales at a time when it is invading neighboring Ukraine, but the European Commission said it had received a letter from the Ukrainian government backing its stance.
European Commissioner Mairead McGuinness quoted from the letter from Ukraine’s energy minister Tuesday: “I strongly believe that the inclusion of gas and nuclear in the taxonomy is an important element of the energy security in Europe, especially with a view to replacing Russian gas.”
“I don’t think we should second-guess this letter,” McGuinness said.
Russia’s war in Ukraine has prompted the 27-nation bloc to sever ties with some Russian fossil fuels. Member countries have agreed to ban 90% of Russian oil by year-end in addition to a ban on imports of Russian coal that will start in August.
But the EU hasn’t included gas — a fuel used to power factories and generate electricity — in its own sanctions for fear of seriously harming the European economy. Before the war in Ukraine, it relied on Russia for 25% of its oil and 40% of its natural gas.

PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to fast-track an appeal from Republican Attorney General Mark Brnovich after a judge sided with Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs over election rules.
The decision means it is unlikely to be time before the general election for court battles to play out on Brnovich's appeal and updated 2019 election rules will remain in place for the general election.
A Yavapai County judge last month rejected Brnovich's effort to order Hobbs to do a major rewrite of a nearly 300-page document she wrote telling county election officials how to manage the 2022 elections.
The judge said Brnovich had waited so long to sue over his perceived problems with the manual that he could not order the few changes that may be merited. Judge John Napper instead sided with Hobbs and GOP Gov. Doug Ducey's position and said the last manual approved by all three in 2019 would be in effect for the upcoming elections.
Brnovich has not filed a formal appeal, but asked the Arizona Supreme Court to let him bypass the court of appeals to the high court could hear the case quickly and act before the November elections.
The Supreme Court said it had considered Brnovich's request and determined it did not meet the standards for bypassing the lower appeals court. | https://www.darientimes.com/news/article/Court-won-t-fast-track-Arizona-AG-s-election-17288849.php | 2022-07-07T01:34:52Z | https://www.darientimes.com/news/article/Court-won-t-fast-track-Arizona-AG-s-election-17288849.php | false | 13 |
Addis Ababa July 6/2022/ENA/ The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) will play a pivotal role in boosting regional integration through promoting energy supply, South Sudanese scholar said.
The GERD, a hydropower dam that Ethiopia is constructing on the Abbay/Blue Nile River, will be the hub of clean and renewable energy supply by increasing the country’s electricity supply and export to East African countries.
As result, it is expected to be catalyst for people-to-people relations as well as trade between states of the region.
In an exclusive interview with ENA, Juba University Assistant Professor Ter Tongyik Majok said building a dam is of paramount importance for Ethiopia and crucial for regional integration.
“I believe building a dam for a great nation like Ethiopia is paramount. It is paramount for development, because if you want to industrialize the country you must have sufficient power.”
The South Sudanese scholar added that people can benefit from the dam because once it generates enough power Ethiopia will have companies that bring goods and services as well as economic growth to the people.
According to him, the dam will also improve trade exchange and East African countries would also benefit from power.
For the scholar, other countries that see the dam negatively should know that “each country has the right to benefit from its own resources.”
With regard to connecting the region with electric power and creating regional integration, Majok said power is very important in regional integration.
“As far as regional integration is concerned, countries in the region whoever have shortages in such resources can actually benefit from the dam,” he pointed out.
He noted that building the dam is therefore crucial for regional integration as all the neighboring countries can benefit from the dam.
“I believe regional integration is the only way for us to survive as a continent.”
The GERD has a storage capacity of about 74 billion cubic meters of water and about 6,450 MW power generating capacity upon completion.
Ethiopia has already spent over 100 billion birr on the construction of GERD. | https://www.ena.et/en/?p=36998 | 2022-07-07T01:39:00Z | https://www.ena.et/en/?p=36998 | false | 1 |

Missouri Lands New Mexico State Transfer P Rorik Maltrud
Maltrud is the Tigers' third addition from the transfer portal this offseason.
Under coach Steve Bieser, the Missouri Tigers have been a consistent ballclub . With records above .500 in five of his six seasons, they have been a winning team bust just haven't managed to get over the hump and into the NCAA Tournament.
Looking to combat that, and see the Tigers make their first NCAA Tournament appearance in a decade, Bieser has hit the transfer portal hard this offseason. The Tigers have already added Arkansas' Dylan Leach and Nebraska's Cam Chick as they look to improve ahead of 2023.
Cam Chick would not be the only transfer portal addition for the Tigers on Sunday, as New Mexico State Aggies' pitcher Rorik Maltrud would announce his commitment to Missouri as well.
Maltrud led the Aggies in ERA in 2022, recording a 4.11 ERA to go with a 1-2 record. He would only make six appearances on the mound for the Aggies, starting five of those six while throwing 30 2/3 innings.
In those 30 2/3 innings Maltrud would rack up 30 strikeouts against only eight walks. Perhaps the most impressive stat for Maltrud in his limited action was his .216 batting average against, as he was able to stifle opposing hitters.
Maltrud enters a Missouri pitching staff that combined for a 5.58 team ERA in 2022, which he will look to help lower. If Bieser and his staff can get Maltrud to pitch to his ability, he will be a vital addition to a team that might just be a few pieces away.

Interest rate guidance for homeowners and other borrowers has been miscommunicated and ultimately wrong, leading to growing calls for a full-scale review into the Reserve Bank.
After the third consecutive rate rise since May, economists have voiced concerns the bank's current structure is not fit-for-purpose and argued forward guidance throughout the pandemic has been "suboptimal".

On Tuesday, the RBA hiked the official cash rate by 50 basis points to 1.35 per cent in a bid to combat rising inflation which Governor Philip Lowe anticipates may reach an annual rate of 7 per cent by the end of the year.
Dr Lowe and the board had initially forecasted rates were unlikely to rise until at least 2024.
Australia's big four banks passed on the 50 basis point hike on Wednesday.
Supply constraints and the war in Ukraine causing a spike in commodity prices have contributed to the higher inflation environment globally.
But economist Steven Hamilton flagged inflationary pressures had been evident before the Ukraine crisis and noted the RBA failed to publicly present a range of outcomes in forward statements.
"It's appropriate for the RBA to communicate its forecast, its expectations and how it sees interest rates based on those forecasts. But what they also needed to do was to provide some additional context," Dr Hamilton told ACM.
"They never laid out any sort of contingency.
"They didn't really flesh out the full range of possibilities and I think that's a problem."

The RBA during the pandemic dropped the cash rate to 0.1 per cent to ease pressure on the economy and also invoked a number of quantitative easing measures, including bond buying which was designed to pump more liquidity into financial markets.
Three year treasury bonds were the target of the RBA's QE measures, which Dr Hamilton said influenced the initial 2024 forecast.
"Not only did they say 2024 but they put their money where their mouth is by targeting very low yields in 2024 dated bonds," he said.
Dr Hamilton highlighted the RBA's exit from the yield curve program was messy and the confusion brought on by the forward guidance has tested the bank's creditability.
"The exit out of the yield curve control program was extremely messy," he said.
"That is all tied together into one big bundle of really suboptimal forward guidance that I think led to confusion and undermined the bank's credibility."
A letter to Treasurer Jim Chalmers cosigned by a number of economists including Dr Hamilton, had urged for the government to implement an independent review of the RBA.

ANU economist and fellow cosigner of the letter, Warwick McKibben outlined governance of the bank would be central to a review, but flagged it needs to be forward looking.
Dr McKibben said the current structure is not well equipped with dealing with rising climate risks.
"I think going forward, they've got the wrong governance structure to deal with the volatility that's going to come out of climate events and climate policy transition that we have to go through as a country," he said.
Economists are also pushing for more independent experts on the board which specialise in microeconomic and macroeconomic policy.
"I think that you want to have a different structure," Dr McKibben said.
"You want to have better communication. You want to have more transparency. You want to have more experts on the board."

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Cyprus is bringing back compulsory mask-wearing in indoor areas for everyone age 12 and over amid a surge of COVID-19 infections.
The government said Wednesday the infection spike is in line with a global trend that’s mainly owed to the BA.4 and BA.5 variants of the coronavirus.
According to Health Ministry figures, 19,503 people tested positive from a total of 147,623 samples between June 25 to July 5 out of a population of approximately 916,000. The numbers don’t include the approximately 250,000 people in the breakaway Turkish Cypriot north of the ethically divided island nation.
The measures take effect on Friday. The government said mask wearing isn’t compulsory at home, for family members inside a vehicle, during meals, athletes, cooks during grilling and for people with ailments and deformities that make it difficult for them to wear a face mask.
The government warned that compliance checks will be in effect and any individual or business violating the order could face a fine of 300 euros ($305).
Health officials have said the high infection rate hasn’t so far resulted in an parallel surge of serious symptoms requiring intensive hospital treatment.
