UPDATE: Owner was found.
SPRINGDALE, Mont. - A boater found a memorial bench in the Yellowstone River. Now, he's looking for the owner.
Shawn Gavne was participating in the Boat Float when he saw the bench.
"As we floated by the boat launch, I saw a bench on a sand bar," he said.
"It was wedged in there pretty good," he added.
Gavne quickly noticed it wasn't just any bench:
"It said 'In Loving memory of Clay Madsen.'"
Gavne wasn't able to get the bench out of the sand with the time he had available, but took to social media to find the owner.
"It's obviously from the flood," he said. "Where it came from or how far up river it came, who knows." | https://www.kulr8.com/news/boater-finds-memorial-bench-in-yellowstone-river-looking-for-owner/article_f83dee56-02ac-11ed-a07a-8304d602e6c0.html | 2022-07-13T19:13:10Z | https://www.kulr8.com/news/boater-finds-memorial-bench-in-yellowstone-river-looking-for-owner/article_f83dee56-02ac-11ed-a07a-8304d602e6c0.html | false | null |
Michigan lands commitment from four-star DL Enow Etta
Michigan remained hot on the recruiting trail on Wednesday afternoon with a commitment from Colleyville (Texas) Covenant Christian four-star defensive end Enow Etta as the Wolverines landed their fifth commitment in the month of July.
For Etta, choosing on Michigan was one that was made in the final hours of his decision process last week as an in-state foe posed a bigger threat than some thought, but it was Jim Harbaugh's squad that was able to prevail in the end.
"It was a really hard choice," Etta said. "The real choice was Michigan State up until a few days ago when the coaches got on a call with me and got me in touch with all of the other recruits. It was a no-brainer from what they told me. They got me to sit down with the engineering professor, it's really the best of both worlds with football and education."
His choice truly predicated on the relationships that Etta built with the coaches, players and former players that went through the Michigan program.
"A lot of schools show fake hospitality, but the two that were the realest were Michigan and Michigan State," he said. "Relationships do matter, I kind of see past the bull. I guess I'm lucky because a lot of people like to talk to me so I talked to past players and they all said the same thing. A lot of schools that they went to showed fake love but Michigan kept it real when they first started recruiting them to when they graduated. That stood out to me."
The coaching staff has pitched Etta on a role similar to what Aidan Hutchinson was able to excel in last season, and it was something that stood out among his other contenders.
"From what we talked about, we had a really long talk about it," he said. "Some schools wanted me to play d-tackle but Michigan said they don't see me playing any d-tackle, they want me to do what Aidan Hutchinson did. A bigger edge that can pass rush and run down, an all-around edge. That's what I've done in high school and what I've done for the past four years. If they can develop me like (Hutchinson), I don't really see any other school as an option."
The education piece paired with the football development made Michigan a good fit, but the campus and Ann Arbor made the Wolverines the choice in the end.
"Campus is great, the surrounding city is great," Etta said. "The class that we have, they're already my brothers and I'm talking to those guys every day. There's really no place like Ann Arbor."
Moving forward, it's back to the drawing board for Etta who will play his senior season as if he is another one of the guys ahead of enrolling at Michigan next year.
"Now it's just getting back to the basics as if I have no offers," Etta said. "Recruiting is over so now it's time for the grind and the season ahead."
At 6-foot-5, 260 pounds, Etta is the No. 239 ranked recruit in the country for the class of 2023, according to Rivals. He is the No. 18 ranked weakside defensive end in the country and the No. 42 ranked recruit from the state of Texas. | https://michigan.rivals.com/news/michigan-lands-commitment-from-four-star-dl-enow-etta | 2022-07-13T19:15:57Z | https://michigan.rivals.com/news/michigan-lands-commitment-from-four-star-dl-enow-etta | false | 1 |
Hoosiers are more likely to have a second refrigerator than people in most other states. Having multiple fridges can drive up your electric bills and pollute the environment.
Recent data from the Energy Information Administration shows 40 percent of Hoosiers surveyed had two or more refrigerators. Only four states ranked higher in the percentage of households with multiple fridges — Idaho, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota.
Refrigerators can use up a lot of energy — especially if they have to work extra hard to keep cool in a hot garage. Jennifer Amann is a senior fellow with the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.
“So if you have a second refrigerator — particularly one that's, you know, 15 or 20 years old now — that could be costing you $80, $100 or even more than $100 a year to operate," she said.
That often means burning more coal and natural gas for that electricity.
“So, for the time being at least, we certainly want to try to minimize that to deal with the climate crisis," Amann said.
Join the conversation and sign up for the Indiana Two-Way. Text "Indiana" to 73224. Your comments and questions in response to our weekly text help us find the answers you need on statewide issues, including this series on climate change and solutions.
Many fridges also leak a powerful greenhouse gas called hydrofluorocarbons or HFCs — though they’re slowly being phased down.
The percentage of households with multiple refrigerators has been rising since the late '80s. The EIA said people with larger homes are more likely to have multiple fridges.
Amann said instead of using that second fridge, you might consider buying a larger main fridge, an energy-efficient mini fridge, or — for hunters — a chest freezer. You can also unplug your second fridge when you don’t need it.
There are also several online resources that can help you purchase more energy-efficient appliances like the Environmental Protection Agency's EnergyStar website and the Enervee Choice Engine.

Sixfields hosts its first friendly of pre-season this evening when Cobblers entertain Championship outfit West Bromwich Albion. Town beat St Mirren and drew with Dundee United during last week’s training camp in Scotland but are back on home turf tonight. We will have updates throughout the evening here…
Cobblers v West Brom live
Last updated: Wednesday, 13 July, 2022, 20:18
- First pre-season friendly at Sixfields
- All eight new signings could be involved
- West Brom were beaten by Stevenage in their first friendly
31: Errant header by Sherring gifts a chance to West Brom but he makes amends with a fine sliding challenge.
26: Fabulous move by the Cobblers, worked from one end to the other with some quick, incisive passing. Hoskins, Odimayo, Sherring and Appere all involved. Ends with Pinnock’s shot being deflected just over.
20: First sign of life in attack for Cobblers as they work the ball down the right before Pinnock sees a shot blocked.
16: Now Dike blazes over after a slick counter-attack from the visitors. Cobblers have been sloppy, lots of wayward passing and loose touches. Pre-season designed to get that sort of stuff out of the system.
West Brom chances
5: Odimayo a bit fortunate with a back header to Maxted which only just got there. Robinson very close to nicking the ball and going through on goal. Wallace then does get in behind Town’s defence but fires wide. Looked well offside but flag didn’t go up. Visitors started well. | https://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/sport/football/northampton-town-v-west-bromwich-albion-live-new-signings-involved-as-cobblers-host-baggies-in-sixfields-friendly-3767242 | 2022-07-13T19:19:26Z | https://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/sport/football/northampton-town-v-west-bromwich-albion-live-new-signings-involved-as-cobblers-host-baggies-in-sixfields-friendly-3767242 | false | 1 |
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Wednesday to extend the mandate of the U.N. mission helping to implement a December 2018 cease-fire agreement between Yemen’s government and Houthi rebels. The deal calls for the withdrawal of fighters from the key port of Hodeida, two smaller ports in the province and Hodeida city.
The U.N.-brokered agreement, reached in Stockholm, was vague on who would run the port of Hodeida after the withdrawals. The resolution extends the mandate of the U.N. mission, known as UNMHA, until July 14, 2023.
The resolution highlighted an “ongoing Houthi hindrance” to the U.N. mission’s freedom of movement and patrols.
The Security Council, however, welcomed a two-month truce between the internationally recognized government and the Iran-backed Houthis that took effect April 2. It was extended for an additional two months on June 2.
The council called “for a strengthened truce to be translated into a durable cease-fire and an inclusive, comprehensive political settlement under the auspices of the United Nations.”
Fighting in Yemen erupted in 2014, when the Houthis descended from their northern enclave and took over the capital, forcing the government to flee into exile in Saudi Arabia. A Saudi-led coalition entered the war in early 2015 to try to restore the government to power. The conflict, which eventually descended into a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran, has killed over 150,000 people, including over 14,500 civilians, and created one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, pushing millions of Yemenis to the brink of famine.
The U.N. special envoy for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, told the council Monday that he plans to explore the possibility of a longer and expanded truce with the country’s warring parties in the coming weeks. He said an extension could be a good step in moving toward a cease-fire in the country’s eight-year civil war.
The resolution adopted Wednesday welcomed the Yemeni government’s flexibility in enabling the entry of fuel ships into Hodeida and enabling flights between Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, and the Jordanian capital, Amman, and between Sanaa and Cairo.
It expressed “grave concern” about the humanitarian impact of continuing road closures around Taiz, Yemen’s third largest city, and called on the Houthis “to act with flexibility in negotiations and immediately open the main roads.” | https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2022/07/13/un-extends-mission-helping-implement-yemen-port-cease-fire.html | 2022-07-13T19:20:07Z | https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2022/07/13/un-extends-mission-helping-implement-yemen-port-cease-fire.html | true | 20 |

Sri Lanka is reeling from the worst political and economic instability in its history. It has been almost 5 months since the ongoing protests in Sri Lanka. The growing economic crisis and the violence against it have led to an official emergency declaration by the President of Sri Lanka.
Following the proclamation of emergency on Wednesday, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe took over as the country’s acting president.
The island nation’s economic troubles have led to fierce protests by civilians as well as violent activities targeting public property and government officials. The protestor’s support base is increasing with each passing day.
Sri Lanka’s Leader of Opposition Sajith Premadasa tweeted against the PM taking over the presidency, saying, “The PM becomes acting President only when the President appoints him, or if the office of the President is vacant, or if the CJ and Speaker are of the view.” that the President is unable to act. In the absence of any of these, the Prime Minister cannot exercise the powers of the President, and cannot declare a curfew or a state of emergency.”
Protesters gathered outside Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe’s residence in Colombo today. This comes amid reports that Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has fled to the Maldives in a military plane to escape his unavoidable responsibility towards the people of Sri Lanka.
The Sri Lankan army is running vigilantly to get hold of the situation. However, people’s anger over Sri Lanka’s uncertainty has prompted them to express anger in violent ways. A few days ago, they stormed the President’s house and occupied the structure for a few hours.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Ann Shulgin, who together with her late husband Alexander Shulgin pioneered the use of psychedelic drugs in psychotherapy and co-wrote two seminal books on the subject, has died at the age of 91.
Shulgin had been in ill health because of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, her daughter, Wendy Tucker, said. She died Saturday at “the farm,” a sprawling San Francisco Bay Area residence she shared with her chemist husband until his death in 2014, surrounded by loved ones, Tucker said.
Shulgin had a deep understanding of Jungian psychoanalysis and collaborated with her husband, who in the 1970s rediscovered the MDMA compound, better known as ecstasy, and introduced it as a possible mental health treatment. The couple tested the substances on themselves and a small group of friends.
“He was the scientist, and I was the psychologist,” Shulgin said of their partnership in a 2014 interview with The Associated Press. “He was a genius.”
Born in New Zealand to an American diplomat and New Zealand mother, Shulgin grew up in different parts of the world. The family settled in San Francisco after her father’s retirement. A professionally trained artist, Shulgin drew and painted all her life and worked as a medical transcriber.
In 1978, she met Alexander Shulgin, who created more than 200 chemical compounds for use in psychotherapy.
The couple’s home, where Alexander Shulgin also had his lab, in Lafayette, California, about 22 miles (35 kilometers) east of San Francisco, for decades was a gathering place for students, teachers and those working with psychedelics.
Though she was not a professionally trained psychotherapist, “she was always the one who people talk to and you always felt like you could open up to her. She called herself a lay therapist,” Tucker said.
The couple took copious notes of their experiences and of what they observed in others and co-wrote two books. PiHKAL: A Chemical Love Story, which was published in 1991, and TiHKAL: The Continuation, published in 1997.
In PiHKAL, Shulgin wrote about her first experience with psychedelics when she was in her 20s.
“I saw something forming in the air, slightly above the level of my head. I thought that it was perhaps a few feet from me, then I realized I couldn’t actually locate it in space at all. It was a moving spiral opening, up there in the cool air, and I knew it was a doorway to the other side of existence, that I could step through it if I wished to be finished with this particular life I was living, and that there was nothing threatening or menacing about it; in fact, it was completely friendly. I also knew that I had no intention of stepping through it because there was still a great deal I wanted to do in my life, and I intended to live long enough to get it all done. The lovely spiral door didn’t beckon; it was just matter-of-factly there,” she wrote.
Publishers were afraid to print their first book about MDMA so the couple, who were against ecstasy being used outside of therapy, self-published it because they wanted to share their experiences and knowledge with the world, Tucker said.
“They were the ones pushing to do all the PTSD work with veterans with MDMA because they saw people who had severe trauma could really break through. They were so brave to publish their work because that really opened the door and paved the way to all that is happening now,” Tucker said.
In the U.S., several states have approved studying the potential medical use of psychedelics, which are still illegal under federal law. A string of cities have also decriminalized so-called magic mushrooms, and an explosion of investment money is flowing into the arena.
Experts say the research is promising for treating conditions ranging from PTSD to smoking addiction, but caution that some serious risks remain, especially for those with certain mental health conditions.
“We lost years and years of research ability because of the attitude and fears around psychedelics. But we wouldn’t be where we are if it wasn’t for Ann and Sasha,” she added.
Shulgin is survived by four children, eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. A memorial is being planned for later in the year. | https://www.fox44news.com/news/ann-shulgin-pioneer-of-psychedelics-in-therapy-dies-at-91/ | 2022-07-13T19:25:36Z | https://www.fox44news.com/news/ann-shulgin-pioneer-of-psychedelics-in-therapy-dies-at-91/ | true | 31 |

DECATUR, Ga. (AP) — A woman has been charged with murder in the death of her 6-year-old son outside Atlanta more than 23 years ago, her arrest brought about by a forensic artist's rendering of the child that led to a tip, authorities said Wednesday.
A DeKalb County grand jury returned an indictment on June 28 against Teresa Ann Bailey Black, District Attorney Sherry Boston said in a news release.
Black, 45, is charged with felony murder, cruelty to children, aggravated assault and concealing the death of another in the death of William DaShawn Hamilton. She was arrested in Phoenix, Arizona, on June 29 and is awaiting extradition to Georgia.
No attorney was listed for Black in online court records.
When the boy's body was found in a wooded area on Feb. 26, 1999, authorities estimated he had been dead for three to six months. His identity was unknown and the manner and cause of his death was undetermined.
He remained unidentified for decades, despite the efforts of DeKalb County police and the county medical examiner's office, as well as news coverage of the case. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children got involved in 2000, providing renderings of the boy and featuring the story. A forensic artist with the center produced a new rendering in 2019 that was featured by news outlets.
A person who knew Black and her son in 1998 saw a rendering in May 2020 and contacted the center, according to the news release. DeKalb County police and prosecutors then followed that lead.
DNA collected from Black earlier this year linked her to the remains, authorities said.
“For far too long, this precious little boy had no name and no story,” Boston said in the news release. “Through the tireless efforts of several individuals and organizations who were determined not to let this boy be forgotten, William has been identified, and justice will be served in his memory.”
Black and her son had been living in Charlotte, North Carolina, with a family member when she withdrew William from school in December 1998 and moved with him to Atlanta, the release says. She returned to Charlotte in late 1999 without the boy and told different stories about where he was.
Angeline Hartmann, spokesperson for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, said the case demonstrates “why we never give up hope.”
“For more than two decades, a woman in Charlotte who knew William and his mother followed her gut feeling that something wasn’t right and kept looking for him," Hartmann said in the release. "We’re grateful she never stopped until she found a rendering of William online and gave investigators the missing piece to help solve this 23-year-old mystery.”
Boston is asking anyone who may have known Black or William at the time of the boy's death to call her office. | https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/Mother-arrested-in-cold-case-death-of-young-son-17302781.php | 2022-07-13T19:30:48Z | https://www.sheltonherald.com/news/article/Mother-arrested-in-cold-case-death-of-young-son-17302781.php | false | 18 |
The Voyager Token (VGX-USD) is soaring 420% in morning trading even though its founder, Voyager Digital, has filed for bankruptcy protection. VGX crypto is now changing hands for around 80 cents per token.
Voyager Digital disclosed on July 6 that it had filed for bankruptcy on the previous day. In its filing, the company disclosed it had approximately $1.3 billion in crypto assets and more than $350 million in cash, which was held in a For Benefit of Customers (FBO) account.
The company stated the Voyager Digital bankruptcy was caused by the collapse of Three Arrows Capital (3AC), a hedge fund that had invested heavily in cryptos. Voyager reported it had provided 3AC with a loan of $650 million. On July 1, Voyager paused all withdrawals, deposits and rewards from its accounts.
Reassuring News on the Voyager Digital Bankruptcy
On July 11, InvestorPlace writer Eddie Pan reported Voyager customers should soon be able to retrieve any cash they had on the platform. He quoted Voyager as saying its customers’ cash is FDIC-insured and will be available “after a reconciliation and fraud prevention process.”
Also on July 11, Voyager reported that it is seeking to allow its customers to regain access to their accounts. The company stated its customers would be refunded, but added they may get their cash back through multiple payments and in a different form than when they had deposited it.
Price Predictions for VGX Crypto
Gov Capital has a one-year price target of $4.90 on the token, while WalletInvestor weighed in with a 12-month prediction of just 2.36 cents for VGX crypto. DigitalCoinPrice expects the token to have an average price of $1.13 next year.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Backed into a corner by the West, Iran is ramping up uranium enrichment, clamping down on dissent and deepening ties with Russia in a challenge to the U.S. and Europe.
Russian President Vladimir Putin heads to Tehran next week to meet with Iran’s leader — his second trip abroad since sending troops into Ukraine. The surprise announcement came a day after the White House said Tehran is preparing to send armed drones to Russia for use in Ukraine and before U.S. President Joe Biden headed to Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Tehran, severed from the global banking system by Western sanctions, wants to show it has alternatives. Talks to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, which eased sanctions on Iran in return for curbs on its atomic program, are at standstill.
Pressures are mounting on the Islamic Republic, with its economy shrinking and its people struggling, with no relief in sight.
A look at the challenges facing Iran, and what it means for the world:
A BREWING NUCLEAR CRISIS
Former U.S. President Donald Trump withdrew Washington from the nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers in 2018 and sought to squeeze Iran economically until it returned to the negotiating table. A defiant Iran resumed prohibited nuclear work.
Biden took office with a promise to restore the deal. Then hard-line cleric Ebrahim Raisi became Iran’s leader, and the nuclear talks have hit a stalemate.
The International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N. nuclear watchdog group, reports that Iran now has 43 kilograms (over 94 1/2 pounds) of uranium enriched to 60% — a short step from weapons-grade levels. That’s enough fissile material for a weapon, if it chose to pursue one. However, Iran would still need to design a bomb and a delivery system, which likely would take months. Tehran is spinning more advanced centrifuges and has dismantled over two dozen IAEA cameras monitoring its work.
Iran insists its program is for peaceful purposes. U.N. experts and Western intelligence agencies say Iran had an organized military nuclear program through 2003.
Experts say Tehran increasingly sees a future without the nuclear accord, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, setting the stage for a possible crisis.
“The Iranians have come to the conclusion that the JCPOA is no longer serving their interests,” said Ali Vaez, the International Crisis Group’s Iran project director. Iran can’t guarantee the U.S. won’t again quit the pact and reimpose sanctions if a new president takes office in 2025.
“That political risk is something no one wants to shoulder,” Vaez added.
The stakes extend beyond Iran. Israel, its archrival and the sole nuclear power in the region, has threatened military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
“Iran could enrich to 90%, but that would be a very dramatic escalation, and I’m pretty confident that would spark a (military) reaction,” said John Krzyzaniak, an Iranian proliferation expert at the Wisconsin Project, referring to weapons-grade enrichment levels.
IRAN’S INTENSIFYING CRACKDOWN
In 2019, some believed that Iran’s 40-year-old revolution could be undone by a 50% fuel price increase, and the country’s security forces responded ruthlessly to nationwide protests.
Nearly three years later, Iran remains under crippling sanctions. Inflation has skyrocketed, eating away at workers’ incomes. The Iranian currency has plunged, wiping out savings. The government has cut subsidies on food staples, stoking public outrage. In May, a 10-story tower collapsed in southwestern Iran, killing at least 41 people and exposing corruption.
To stave off unrest, authorities have recently arrested protesters angry about high prices, teachers’ union activists, acclaimed filmmakers and a prominent reformist politician.
Two of the detained dissident filmmakers had allegedly voiced support for demonstrations over the building collapse.
Facing pressure over its failure to deliver on promises of sanctions relief, the “system is directly signaling to the Iranian people they’re not going to tolerate dissent,” said Sanam Vakil, deputy director of the Middle East and North Africa Program at Chatham House.
That message has gained momentum as a kind of shadow war between Israel and Iran moves into the open — on the high seas and on Tehran’s streets.
“Ordinary Iranians lobbying for better rights are going to be more persecuted because the crackdown is now in the name of national security,” Vakil added.
ALLIANCE WITH RUSSIA
Facing a Western economic backlash over its action in Ukraine, Moscow sees Tehran as a key partner and potential source of arms. Amid intensifying diplomatic isolation, Iran has increasingly found common ground with Russia, including a shared adversary in Washington.
Biden is visiting the Middle East this week — first to Israel, Iran’s biggest foe, and then to Saudi Arabia, another Tehran rival — and it was no coincidence the White House said Iran was preparing to provide Russia with drones and training just days before the trip.
“We think that this is of interest, to put it mildly, to the countries we will be visiting on this trip,” said National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan.
Citing a Russian Foreign Ministry source, the Interfax news agency described the drone deliveries as “disinformation” intended to “further fuel anti-Iranian sentiments in the Arab states.”
One aim of Biden’s trip is encouraging Arab nations to strengthen security alliances, built on the shared fear of Iran.
“We see the emergence of two opposite blocs,” said Yoel Guzansky, a Gulf expert and senior fellow at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv. “The U.S. is trying to unite the Arab world … with Russia and Iran and perhaps China on the opposite side.”
Military coordination between Tehran and Moscow has intensified since they pooled efforts to shore up Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government in the country’s civil war.
Iran’s advancing drone capabilities could prove valuable for Russia, Krzyzaniak said. The Iranian aircraft, in some cases mimicking the designs of U.S. military drones, are battle-tested by Yemen’s Houthi rebels fighting a Saudi-led military coalition, according to Western officials and U.N. experts.
But the Iran-Russia relationship is not free of friction.
Their former empires were centuries-old rivals, and Russia’s occupation of Iran during World War II — and its refusal to leave afterward — bred decades of distrust.
Those old differences are playing out in new ways. Sanctioned Russian oil, which is now more discounted than crude from Iran, is eating into Tehran’s share of the crucial Chinese market and forcing it to slash prices, experts say.
Other differences include Putin’s friendly ties with Israel. As part of a delicate balancing act, the Kremlin has struck deals in Syria, such as in 2018 when Moscow had Tehran keep its fighters away from the Golan Heights to accommodate Israeli concerns.
But with pressure growing on both countries, their bond seems sure to grow.
For Russia, Iran represents a source of expertise in how to avoid sanctions and access the world’s black markets. Bilateral trade is booming, according to Tehran-based political analyst Saeed Leilaz, noting Russia has increased its imports of Iranian produce and seeks trade routes to India.
For Iran, “foreign policy is decided based on what the system sees as in the best interest for its survival,” said Vaez, of the International Crisis Group.

The government has filed a caveat application, urging the court to hear its stand before deciding on the bunch of petitions. A caveat application ensures that no adverse orders are passed against a respondent without being heard.
One of the pleas, filed by advocate ML Sharma, has sought quashing of the June 14 notification on the scheme, issued by the Ministry of Defence. Sharma has contended that the notification was "illegal, unconstitutional and void ab-initio and ultra vires to the Constitution of India in the interest of justice".
The petitioner has argued that an officer getting selected through permanent commission entry in the armed forces had the option to serve the nation up to the age of 60 years.
Two more petitions were filed in the apex Court, seeking directions to the Centre to reconsider the recruitment scheme. Another petition has sought setting up of an expert committee under the chairmanship of a retired Supreme Court judge to examine the scheme and its impact on the national security and the Indian Army.
This public interest litigation also sought the setting up of a special investigation team to probe the violent incidents during protests against the scheme.
The top court on Wednesday also indicated that appeals challenging the Karnataka High Court's judgement that wearing hijab by Muslim women was not an essential religious practice may be listed next week.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — An 85-year-old man is facing assault charges after an encounter with a teen girl at a fast food restaurant in Sevierville.
Sevierville Police say Milos Supica has been charged with assault following an incident on July 8 around 1:40 p.m. According to an arrest report, the girl’s mom told police Supica grabbed her daughter and tried to hug her and the Burger King on Dolly Parton Parkway. When the mom confronted the man, he reportedly left and went to a neighboring business.
Witnesses said he later hid in the woods behind the business before police arrived. Police say when they found Supica, he told them he loves and works with children. He claimed he tried to hug the girl after seeing her hug her mom.
Police reviewed cameras and say it proves Supica walked over to where the girl was standing with her mom and pulled her towards him. The video also shows the mom pushing him off, confronting him, and Supica leaving.
After viewing the video, police placed Supica under arrest and took him to the Sevier County Jail. | https://www.wate.com/news/crime/sevierville-police-man-charged-with-assault-after-trying-to-hug-teen-girl/ | 2022-07-13T19:51:31Z | https://www.wate.com/news/crime/sevierville-police-man-charged-with-assault-after-trying-to-hug-teen-girl/ | false | 3 |
INEC Says Kwankwaso’s NNPP, Sowore’s AAC Yet To Submit ‘A Single Name’ Of Governorship, State Assembly Candidates
Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso’s New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and Omoyele Sowore’s African Action Congress (ACC) have yet to submit any name of governorship and state assembly candidates to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Festus Okoye, INEC’s Commissioner for Information and Voter Education Committee, disclosed this on Wednesday.
The electoral body had set July 15 as the deadline for all political parties to submit the names of all governorship and state assembly candidates contesting on their platforms to its portal. It had warned that failure to upload the candidates’ names and particulars before the deadline will render the nomination of such candidates invalid.
Okoye said out of the country’s 18 political parties, only the NNPP and AAC whose respective presidential candidates are Kwankwaso and Sowore, are yet to submit the names of their governorship and state assembly candidates.
“So far, the Commission has processed 6,995 nomination forms (EC9) uploaded by 16 out of 18 political parties for the constituencies where they intend to sponsor candidates. However, two political parties, the African Action Congress (AAC) and New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), are yet to upload a single nomination to the portal.
“The Commission hereby reminds all political parties that they have three days left to upload their list of candidates to the ICNP. The deadline is Friday 15th July 2022. The portal will automatically shut down at 6.00pm on that date,” he said.
Meanwhile, Okoye said INEC has continued to respond to “requests for the issuance of Certified True Copies (CTCs) of documents mainly arising from the conduct of party congresses, primaries and nomination of candidates. The number of requests processed has now risen to one million, six hundred and sixty-two thousand, nine hundred and eighty seven (1,662,987) pages of documents. Sadly, in spite of the Commission’s effort, 147 out of 476 requests processed as at today involving 5,646 pages are yet to be collected by applicants.
“The Commission appeals to prospective litigants to come forward and collect the certified copies of the documents.” | https://thewhistler.ng/inec-says-kwankwasos-nnpp-sowores-aac-yet-to-submit-a-single-name-of-governorship-state-assembly-candidates/ | 2022-07-13T19:54:19Z | https://thewhistler.ng/inec-says-kwankwasos-nnpp-sowores-aac-yet-to-submit-a-single-name-of-governorship-state-assembly-candidates/ | false | 1 |

This Is Now Considered The ‘Most Dangerous Road’ In New York State
The "most dangerous" road in New York that "you may want to avoid" is probably not the road you're thinking of. It's also a road that's almost impossible to avoid in the Empire State.
This vs That recently profiled "The Most Dangerous Road in Each State." The list was based on the average number of fatalities on each road per year. "Many of these roads are extremely busy, making fatal crashes inevitable. You may want to avoid these if you can. Some roads, you may even want to avoid entirely if you can help it," This vs That states.
Most Dangerous Road In New York State
The New York State Thruway was named the most dangerous road in the Empire State. Each year there are about 20 fatal accidents on I-87.
In the past 10 years, there have been 156 fatal accidents that resulted in 188 fatalities, according to This VS That
188 fatal accidents

New Yorkers Traveling From New York City To Buffalo Travel On Most Dangerous Road in New York State
The mainline of the New York State Thruway is 426 miles extending from New York City to Buffalo, according to Thruway officials.
Most Empire State residents call the highway I-87, the New York State Thruway or the Thruway. But did you know its official title is Governor Thomas E. Dewey Thruway? It was built in the early 1950s. The Thruway is one of the longest toll roads in the nation and one of the oldest components of the National Interstate Highway System, according to the Thruway Authority.
"This 570-mile superhighway, with 815 bridges, 118 interchanges and 27 service areas, connects New York's principal cities, rural areas, and tourist destinations," the Thruway Authority states.
250 Million Vehicles Travel Each Year on New York State's Most Dangerous Road
Around 250 million vehicles travel over 8 billion miles on the New York State Thruway each year, according to Thruway officials.
Taconic State Parkway Also Named Most Dangoeurs Road In New York
The New York State Thruway being named New York's most dangerous was pretty surprising to me. That's because the Taconic State Parkway is typically labeled as New York's most dangerous road.
In late 2020, The Ahearne Law Firm named the Taconic State Parkway as the most dangerous road in all of New York State.
"It may come as a surprise that this road is the deadliest road in New York. However, this two-lane roadway is one of the most overcrowded highways in the state," The Ahearne Law Firm wrote about the Taconic. "Part of the reason why Taconic State Parkway is so dangerous is because of all its twists and turns. If you can avoid this road next time you head north from the city; you should."
During a three-year period, there were over 2,000 accidents on the Taconic, according to Only in Your State. Both the New York State Thruway and Taconic State Parkway are among the Top 5 Most Dangerous Roads in New York State.

Scotty Bowman has left the Chicago Blackhawks after what the Hall of Famer said was a difficult year.
Bowman announced Tuesday he no longer works for the organization as of July 1, saying he decided it was time to move on after 14 years as the Blackhawks’ senior hockey operations adviser.
Bowman’s son Stan stepped down as general manager in October after an independent investigation into the team’s mishandling of sexual assault allegations in 2010 revealed he knew about the situation.
”It was a pretty uncomfortable year because of Stan’s thing, getting let go, and I stayed on for the year and tried to keep going as much as I could, which I think I did,” Bowman told The Associated Press in a phone interview. ”It’s been a good ride. I mean, you don’t get the chance to work with your son all the time. Naturally you have your differences of opinion, but I got to know the personnel on the team, and it was a good ride to be able to see this team develop and everything else.”
Bowman, who turns 89 in September, said he left the organization on good terms. He’s not closing the door on another job in the NHL but isn’t looking for work immediately. He plans to continue his routine of splitting time between his homes in suburban Buffalo, New York, and Sarasota, Florida, which allows him to make appearances in the press box at Tampa Bay Lightning games.
”You have to keep busy,” he said. ”The game has changed so much, you know? It’s so fast. The line changes, the players change so quick now they probably change twice as fast as in my day, so it’s a different game, but it’s still in my blood.”
Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame 31 years ago, Bowman won the Stanley Cup a record nine times as a coach, leading the Montreal Canadiens to the championship in 1973, ’76, ’77, ’78 and ’79, the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1992 and the Detroit Red Wings in 1997, ’98 and 2002. Counting his four titles as a member of a front office, including three with Chicago in 2010, ’13 and ’15, his 14 are second-most in league history behind Habs great Jean Beliveau’s 17.
Another championship seems far away for the Blackhawks.
Kyle Davidson replaced Stan Bowman on an interim basis in the fall and was given the full-time GM job after a lengthy search. Davidson is now in charge of a major teardown of the roster, which has already included trading young forwards Alex DeBrincat and Kirby Dach and letting Dylan Strome and Dominik Kubalik leave rather than tendering them qualifying offers to retain their rights.
The big question now concerns the future of franchise cornerstones Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, who have a year left on their respective contracts.
”It’s a discussion that we’re going to have to have,” Davidson said last week at the NHL draft. ”We’re honest and told them what could happen. And we’re going to have to potentially make some changes. So there wasn’t any deception in that. But it’s real now. There’s a discussion that’s going to have to happen. They’re aware of what we expect of them and why we want them around.”

English actress Daisy Edger-Jones was the featured guest on Live With Kelly And Ryan on Tuesday's (July 12) episode, and the two hosts couldn’t have been happier to have her on the show. As apparent fans of her new movie Where The Crawdad Sing, Kelly and Ryan quickly lead the conversation into Edgar-Jones’s experience filming on set in the mysterious marshlands of North Carolina.
Daisy Edgar-Jones Talks New Movie ‘Where The Crawdads Sing’
The Latest
About The Film ‘Where The Crawdads Sing’
Directed by Olivia Newman, the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel, Where The Crawdads Sing portrays the gripping narrative of a shy, reclusive girl, Kya, whose family left her behind to fend for herself in the marshes of North Carolina. Known as the “Marsh Girl” in her hometown, Kya finds herself embroiled in a gruesome police investigation for the suspicious death of a well-regarded neighborhood boy, Chase Andrews, who was found dead in her turf of the swamplands. The following scenes flick between a nerve-stricken Kya in the courtroom and flashbacks of her past leading up to the fateful day of her trial.
To get the audience up to speed, Ryan asked Edgar-Jones, 24, (of Normal People, Fresh, and Under The Banner Of Heaven), for a quick synopsis of her role in the movie. “So Kya is a young girl who is abandoned in the marshes of North Carolina at a very young age,” she began, “And she brings herself up and learns how to survive and thrive in that environment. And when the body of a local boy is found, she is put on trial for his murder.”
Filming In the Marsh
The London native revealed that during shooting, she and the crew lived in New Orleans for 5 months during the COVID-19 pandemic. Besides having to learn and perfect her ‘American accent’, she had to endure co-existing in the marsh with few swamp creatures.
“We did have a couple of run-ins with some alligators and things, we were told they were not particularly aggressive, so it [was] fine to swim with them.” Daisy also shared that not only did she encounter real crawdads on the movie set but ate them as well during her stay.
Did The Movie Do The Book Justice?
For fans who have read Delia Owens’ 2018 novel, which thanks to Reese Witherspoon, one of the film’s producers, made it her ‘Book Club’ pick in September of that year, and to date has since sold 12 million copies, the movie may have captured the essence of the book. According to Edgar-Jones, she felt the directors and scriptwriters nailed it.
“I feel like the filmmakers and scriptwriter did such a great job of sort of bringing all the different aspects of the book together in the film because there’s a lot about this film: there’s a murder mystery story that’s permeating throughout, but also an epic love story and a survival story, and I think they’ve done a really good job of really honoring all of those aspects of it and I do think you’re left with the same feeling [you have] when you finish the film that you have when you finish the book.”

Editorial writers weigh in on these abortion issues.
Chicago Tribune:
How To Regain Abortion Rights? Consider MADD’s 1980s Strategy
For decades, the most pressing aspect of any presidential election for many voters has been the candidate’s stance on abortion and his or her ability to appoint Supreme Court justices who share the candidate’s views. The Supreme Court, for its part, regularly resisted attempts at politicization, insisting on stare decisis. The court also regularly reminded litigants, and the world, that the legislature is where the legality of abortion should be decided. (Tamara Kay and Susan Ostermann, 7/7)

Roe Treated Abortion As Something That Should Be ‘Between A Woman And Her Doctor.’ That Was A Mistake
In the shock and outrage of response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, a lot of outdated, incomplete and false ideas about abortion have come to dominate public discourse. Some are afraid that the end of Roe means a return to the days of the coat hanger. Some are stocking up on the abortion pill, which, while far from ideal, is at least not lethal. While it is true that the end of Roe will cause needless suffering and grave complications for people with wanted and unwanted pregnancies, it’s also true that we now have more options than we think. The rallying feminist slogan “Knowledge is Power” has never felt more urgent. (Jennifer Block and Elisa Albert, 7/7)

MADISON (AP) — Republican Tim Michels, who has the endorsement of Donald Trump, is running for Wisconsin governor as a political outsider.
But records compiled by the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, which tracks political spending and donations, show Michels and his wife gave more than $200,000 to powerful Republicans and candidates for the past 12 years. His top GOP rival in the race, former Lt.
Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, and her political committees donated $130,000 over the same period.
The winner of the Aug. 9 primary will advance to face Democratic Gov. Tony Evers.
Michels, co-owners of the Michels Corp. construction company, along with his wife, Barb, gave $207,650 to Republican and conservative candidates between 2010 and 2022, the Democracy Campaign data released Wednesday showed. Michels’ extended family has given $541,400 over that time period, the Democracy Campaign said.
The top beneficiary of donations from Michels and his wife was former Gov. Scott Walker, who got $58,000. Walker, who backs Kleefisch in the race, this week released an ad attacking Michels over his involvement with groups that advocated for a higher gas tax.
Before they were political rivals, Michels even donated to Kleefisch, giving her $1,000 in October 2010, just before she and Walker were elected for the first time, records show.
Michels ran for U.S. Senate in 2004 and lost to Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold. Since then, he has focused on his family’s construction business while also serving in leadership roles for various high-powered organizations, including Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, the Wisconsin Transportation Builders Association and the Transportation Development Association.
Kleefisch, her husband Joel who is a former state representative, her campaign committee and a political action committee she created have contributed $130,000 to Republican and conservative candidates since 2010, the Democracy Campaign said. Kleefisch was lieutenant governor under Walker from 2011 to 2018.
Kleefisch’s contributions were smaller than Michels’, with the highest donation being $5,000 to Deborah Kerr, a 2021 conservative candidate for state superintendent of schools.
Evers, his wife and his campaign committee donated about $14,000 to Democrats and liberal candidates over the same time, the Democracy Campaign said. The highest donation was just under $3,500 to Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul, who is also up for reelection this year. | https://dailyreporter.com/2022/07/13/michels-runs-as-outsider-donated-money-to-many-insiders/ | 2022-07-13T20:11:46Z | https://dailyreporter.com/2022/07/13/michels-runs-as-outsider-donated-money-to-many-insiders/ | false | 10 |
Quebec minister Nadine Girault leaves office, not running in fall election for health reasons
Minister of International Relations and Francophonie Nadine Girault announced that she is temporarily stepping down for health reasons and that she will not seek a second term next fall for the same reasons.
In a news release issued Tuesday afternoon, Quebec Premier François Legault's office stated that this decision was made "on the recommendation of her physician."
During Girault's absence, Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Andrée Laforest will take over the department's files.
The government's release stated that "the Bertrand constituency office remains open and fully operational to serve the population."
In another release issued a few minutes after the announcement of her temporary hiatus, the MNA for Bertrand confirmed that she will not be running for office this fall.
It states that her main source of pride is to have made a major economic shift in Quebec's delegations abroad.
"With eight new appointments of heads of a post, people with very interesting profiles from the financial and business communities, as well as the creation of the Institute of Diplomacy, we ensure that Quebec has a credible, consistent and strong presence around the world," said Girault.
Legault reacted to the departure of the woman who served in the National Assembly since 2018.
"Nadine is a passionate woman, ready to do anything for Quebec," said Legault. "The economic shift she has led in Quebec's international delegations is a good example. By putting forward Quebec's economy, she has left her mark for the years to come. I am very proud to have been able to count on her in my team."
1/3 Sur recommandation de mon médecin, j’annonce un arrêt temporaire de mes fonctions et que je ne serai pas candidate aux prochaines élections.
D’abord, j'aimerais remercier les citoyens de Bertrand de m'avoir choisie pour les représenter.❤️https://t.co/Tp4RAEUxet pic.twitter.com/plHFSwaVl7
SEVERAL SICK LEAVES
During her mandate, Girault took several sick leaves.

NEW YORK (AP) — Joy Harjo, who recently completed a three-year run as the country’s poet laureate, will have a picture book out next spring.
Random House Children’s Books announced Wednesday that Harjo’s “Remember,” adapted from her celebrated poem of the same name, is scheduled for March 21, 2023. The book will feature illustrations by the award-winning Michaela Goade.
“In simple and direct language, Harjo, a member of the Mvskoke Nation, urges readers to pay close attention to who they are, the world they were born into, and how all inhabitants on earth are connected,” the publisher’s announcement reads in part.
The poem “Remember,” published nearly 40 years ago, is a tribute to the cosmos and our place in it. Admirers of “Remember” extend beyond the poetry community: NASA announced last year that some lines were included in a plaque/time capsule on a spacecraft headed for the Trojan asteroids orbiting Jupiter.
“‘Remember’ is one of my earliest poems. It came together as I was first becoming a poet, and needed to remind myself about what mattered,” Harjo said in a statement. “Every one of us needs spiritual food for how to negotiate this life of struggles and beauty. The poem has a life of its own. This poem has accompanied me much of my life. It is on a spacecraft heading to Jupiter, it is a song, dances have been made of it, and it has been translated into my Mvskoke language.”
Harjo, 71, was the first Native American to serve as poet laureate. Earlier this week, the Library of Congress announced she would be succeeded by Ada Limón. Goade’s illustrations for Carole Lindstrom’s “We Are Water Protectors” brought her a Caldecott Medal in 2021, the first time a Native had received the prestigious children’s prize. | https://www.wearecentralpa.com/entertainment-news/joy-harjo-picture-book-remember-to-come-out-next-year/ | 2022-07-13T20:16:31Z | https://www.wearecentralpa.com/entertainment-news/joy-harjo-picture-book-remember-to-come-out-next-year/ | false | 33 |

CNBC Names North Carolina as America’s Top State for Business in 2022
CNBC has named North Carolina as America’s Top State for Business in 2022. This morning, Governor Roy Cooper joined CNBC’s Scott Cohn at the Oceanic at the Crystal Pier in Wrightsville Beach for a live broadcast where the winner was revealed.
“North Carolina is the best place in America to do business and the main reason is our people,” Governor Cooper said. “This is a great honor, and we’re going to continue to work with our state legislature, businesses, education leaders and employees to build the talented workforce and resilient infrastructure needed to support the high paying jobs of the next generation.”
“North Carolina is proud of its economic success that continues to garner national recognition like being CNBC’s Best State for Business,” said North Carolina Commerce Secretary Machelle Baker Sanders. “Last year, we announced more than 24,000 new jobs and investments exceeding $10.1 billion from future-focused companies in fields like biotechnology, computers, and electric vehicles. There are many factors for our success, including our central East Coast location, premier quality of life and low cost of business, but our greatest asset is our diverse and highly-skilled workforce that is supported by our top-rated education system. We will continue to focus on creative partnerships for talent development as we evolve to meet the demands of existing, new, and future employers like Apple, Toyota, and FUJIFILM that call North Carolina home.”
“To say North Carolina had a record year in 2021 would be an understatement,” said Gene McLaurin, chair of the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina’s (EDPNC) Board of Directors. “Our economic development successes would not have been possible without collaboration between Governor Cooper, the North Carolina General Assembly, the North Carolina Department of Commerce, the EDPNC, and other public and private partnerships. Because of that collaboration, we have been able to create an award-winning business climate that the biggest companies in the world want to experience and use for their own successes, as well as for the successes of North Carolinians.”
The CNBC study looks at 88 metrics in ten categories of competitiveness. North Carolina ranked highly in the Economy, Access to Capital and Technology and Innovation categories. North Carolina has placed in the top 5 three times since 2017.
Since Governor Cooper took office in 2017, North Carolina has announced over 95,000 jobs including announcements from companies like Apple, Vinfast, Toyota and Centene Corp. This historic recruitment success in both rural and urban parts of North Carolina continues to add value to the manufacturing and clean energy industries already thriving here.
Governor Cooper has been focused on developing and training a strong workforce. In May 2021, the Governor launched the Longleaf Commitment Community College Grants Program that ensures that recent high school graduates from low- and middle-income families will receive at least $2,800 in federal and state grants to cover tuition and most fees at any of the state’s 58 community colleges. In July 2018, the Governor announced the Finish Line Grants Program to help community college students who face unforeseen financial emergencies complete their training.
In October 2021, Governor Cooper launched the North Carolina Child Care Stabilization Grants, a $805 million investment in the state’s early care and learning child care programs. These funds helped child care centers with recruitment and retention and help parents get back to work.
Governor Cooper has focused on supporting businesses through the pandemic, developing partnerships to ensure that workers and consumers could visit businesses safely. He also invested resources to help businesses hardest hit by the pandemic, providing direct cash support to the hospitality industry through the Business Recovery Grant Program, and keeping women- and minority-owned businesses afloat with the ReTool NC Program.
Investments like these helped North Carolina to have among the lowest COVID-related deaths, as well as job losses per capita during the pandemic. According to the NC Department of Commerce, North Carolina’s economy fully returned to the employment level and GDP it enjoyed before the COVID-19 pandemic by mid-2021, well ahead of the nation, and North Carolina’s unemployment rate is at a 22-year low. | https://www.stl.news/north-carolina-as-americas-top-state-for-business-in-2022/531268/ | 2022-07-13T20:27:31Z | https://www.stl.news/north-carolina-as-americas-top-state-for-business-in-2022/531268/ | false | 2 |
Two Findlay residents have been arrested after refusing to leave the city pool when asked to do so.
On Tuesday at 5:08 p.m., Bowling Green Police Division officers were called to 520 Conneaut Ave. on a report of criminal trespass.
Seth Johnson, 33, was arrested for criminal trespass and obstructing official business.
Lindsey Pichacz, 30, was arrested for criminal trespass, obstructing official business, resisting arrest and criminal mischief.
Both were taken to jail.
The pool staff from called police for assistance in removing a male and female from the pool. The two were smoking vaping devices, which is prohibited, according to the report.
The female, later identified as Pichacz, began approaching an officer at the pool entrance. She said they needed to go outside to talk. When told she needed to gather her belongings first and exit the pool, she ignored the officer, according to the report.
The officer then approached the male, identified as Johnson, to tell him to gather his belongings.
The duo was told they were being trespassed and IDs were requested. Both said they were not going to provide identification and after refusing three times, were told they would be arrested.
While Pichacz provided her identification after the fourth request, Johnson refused and an attempt was made to place him in handcuffs, according to the report.
Johnson tensed up and clenched his hands into fists to avoid the handcuffs and pulled his arms away so he couldn’t be detained.
Pichacz then moved in between Johnson and the officer to interfere with the arrest, according to the report.
A second officer went to move Pichacz out of the way so the arrest could be made. She then shoved this officer as he was assisting placing Johnson into custody. This officer had to push Pichacz back twice to stop her from interfering in the arrest.
After being pushed back, she fell into a beach chair. When attempts were made to place her into custody, she refused to get out of the chair, the report stated.
An officer tipped over the chair and Pichacz fell to the ground. Officers were able to get her to her stomach, but she refused to move her arms behind her back.
After being placed in handcuffs, she was being led out of the pool area when Pichacz stated, “want to go for a swim” and tried to force the officers into the pool, according to the report.
She also kicked over a trash can and a sign in front of the pool on the way to the police cruiser. Pichacz sat in the back seat but refused to put her feet inside. An officer went to the opposite door and pulled her into the back seat.
While en route to the jail, she kicked the divider window with both feet and said she had urinated on the backseat, the report said.
They had juvenile children with them at the pool. They were released to an uncle.
Both were arraigned Wednesday morning and were released on an own recognizance bond. | https://www.sent-trib.com/news/findlay-couple-arrested-at-city-pool/article_4428809c-02da-11ed-b2bf-f736081f48bd.html | 2022-07-13T20:28:44Z | https://www.sent-trib.com/news/findlay-couple-arrested-at-city-pool/article_4428809c-02da-11ed-b2bf-f736081f48bd.html | true | 1 |

Press release from the U.S. Department of the Interior:
WASHINGTON — Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland today announced the establishment of the Lost Trail Conservation Area in Northwest Montana as the 568th and newest unit of the National Wildlife Refuge System, managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This expansion – the first unit for the Refuge System under Secretary Haaland’s leadership – is the culmination of a 20-year locally-led effort to conserve important big game corridors and recreational areas in the region and a model for the Biden-Harris administration’s ongoing efforts to conserve and restore our nation’s lands and waters.
“The Lost Trail Conservation Area will help guarantee that future generations have access to the same woods and waters as we enjoy today for hunting, fishing, hiking and wildlife viewing,” said Secretary Haaland. “National wildlife refuges are one of the most important ways that we can connect all Americans to public lands with little to no entry fees. I am grateful to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and its partners for the locally led collaboration that led to this important milestone.”
The Service worked in partnership with the Trust for Public Land and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) to purchase the 38,052-acre conservation easement from continuing owner Southern Pine Plantations Montana. Overlaying existing private lands, the Conservation Area will protect crucial wildlife habitats and migration corridors for elk, mule deer, grizzly bear, wolverine, and Canada lynx, between Glacier National Park, the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness, the Selkirk Mountains and into the Coeur d’Alene Mountains in Idaho.
Conservation areas are national wildlife refuges that consist primarily or entirely of conservation easements on private lands. The Lost Trail Conservation Area is unique in that it includes private timberland that has historically been open to the public on a voluntary basis and the transition to a national wildlife refuge ensures that public recreational access is maintained in perpetuity. The Lost Trail Conservation Area will allow sustainable commercial timber harvests and provide wildlife-dependent recreational opportunities such as hunting, fishing, hiking and wildlife viewing.
“The Service is grateful for incredible partnerships with the Trust for Public Land and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes,” said Service Director Martha Williams. “Locally-led conservation efforts such as this provide a lasting impact on our efforts to protect crucial wildlife habitat for threatened, endangered and priority species while prioritizing recreational access.”
The newly acquired Conservation Area was funded by the Great American Outdoors Act and Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). Since its inception in 1965, the LWCF has funded $4 billion worth of projects in every county in the country. At no cost to taxpayers, the LWCF supports increased public access to and protection of federal public lands and waters – including national parks, forests, wildlife refuges, and recreation areas – and provides matching grants to state and tribal governments for the acquisition and development of public parks and other outdoor recreation sites.
To provide the public an opportunity to engage in this planning process, a draft environmental assessment and land protection plan were made available for public review period in 2020. In early 2021, the Service released the final environmental assessment and land protection plan to authorize easement purchases from willing sellers within the Lost Trail Conservation Area. In developing the plan, the Service consulted with CSKT on prioritizing important wildlife habitat and its connection to their conserved lands, as well as with the state of Montana to connect landscape-level conservation efforts. Permanent easements on up to 100,000-acres may be added within the project boundary.
The Refuge System is an unparalleled network of 568 national wildlife refuges and 38 wetland management districts. There is a national wildlife refuge within an hour’s drive of most major metropolitan areas – hosting some 65 million visits every year – almost all offering free admittance year-round. National wildlife refuges provide vital habitat for thousands of species and access to world-class recreation, from fishing, hunting and boating to nature watching, photography, and environmental education.

Cape Coral man gets 15 years in prison for sexual assault of a child between 4 and 8 years old
\
A Cape Coral man charged with sexually assaulting a child younger than 12 will serve 15 years in prison.
Alfonso Jesus Galindo, 35, of Cape Coral, was found guilty and sentenced to 15 years in prison followed by 15 years of sex offender probation, for two counts of lewd or lascivious conduct on a child.
More:Lehigh Acres man gets 10 years in prison for child sexual assault that continued for years
And:Cape Coral man charged with three counts in 2020 lewd and lascivious case
The Cape Coral Police Department opened an investigation in 2019 after a child disclosed past sexual abuse to a relative.
The crimes happened between 2014 and 2018. The Florida Department of Children and Families and the Children’s Advocacy Center also joined the investigation.
Authorities allege the case involved up to 40 intimate contacts by the suspect with the child, who was between 4 and 8 years old.
The child indicated a fear that, if Galindo knew she had told of the activity, he would kill her.
A woman who was involved with Galindo at the time told investigators that the child never acted abnormal. She also told police she did not suspect abuse by Galindo because he treated the child in question and another in the house as his own.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Nearly four years ago, Bill Lee startled political insiders when the first-time political candidate survived a bruising and crowded $45 million GOP primary for Tennessee governor. He cruised to win the top elected state seat a few months later.
Now, the Republican businessman is enjoying a drastically different race for reelection, with much more breathing room.
Despite criticisms from within his own political party, Democrats, and advocates from multiple sides of the political spectrum, Lee faces no challengers in the August GOP primary. The state Republican Party booted two lesser-known opponents off the ballot.
That means he'll likely sail to the November general election in a state that has elected Republicans to the highest elected offices for more than 15 years. He'll face whoever wins the Democratic gubernatorial primary, where the candidates include physician Jason Martin, Memphis councilmember JB Smiley Jr. and community advocate Carnita Atwater.
Lee's campaign did not immediately respond to an email request for comment.
A Tennessee governor hasn't avoided facing a primary opponent since then-Democratic Gov. Ned McWherter in 1990. Before that, former Republican Gov. Lamar Alexander ran unopposed in the 1982 primary, according to legislative historian Eddie Weeks. Both won another four years in office.
Lee navigated a first term marked by a global pandemic, and drew some backlash from conservative circles for the early economic shutdowns that were common across the country. Ultimately, he opposed a statewide mask mandate and came to defend those who refuse the vaccine, as GOP officials have largely done.
“Bill Lee has been popular during his time as governor. He started out in the low 60s, but it’s kind of moved down now to mid the mid to high 50s...which most governors would covet immediately,” said John Geer, a Vanderbilt University dean who co-directs the school’s public policy poll.
Lee sought to squash any serious opposition brewing within the party by aligning with an increasingly conservative GOP-dominated legislature, particularly on social issues. He pushed a sweeping anti-abortion ban and permitless handgun carry law, and signed off on other socially conservative policies, including those that target LGBTQ people.
Lawmakers, at times, have spiked or undermined some of the governor's top initiatives, including a push to make Juneteenth a state holiday. Lee on some occasions has also worked around their opposition, including to secure removal of the bust of former Confederate General and early Ku Klux Klan leader Nathan Bedford Forrest from the Capitol.
Notably, Lee was forced to drop his plan to offer paid family leave for state workers after receiving a cool reception from Republican lawmakers. He also received heavy criticism those same GOP leaders when the governor declined to stop resettling refugees back in 2019 when given the option by former President Donald Trump.
“He’s been in the enviable position where it’s been clear for a while that he wasn’t going to face serious electoral threat so that he's had the ability to pursue the policies that he wanted to pursue, as opposed to worried about electoral consequences of particular policies,” Geer said.
Lee also has been on the ground following fatal tornadoes that have whipped through multiple parts of the state. He has declined to remove any inmates from death row while Tennessee sped up to one of the fastest states to kill inmates. Then earlier this year, he paused all executions due to testing omissions for lethal injection drugs, and ordered an independent investigator to probe how pervasive the state’s problems are in following its own death penalty protocol.
Unlike some Republican predecessors, Lee has declined to flex a powerful tool — his veto stamp. Lee maintained that stance even when Republican leaders passed a measure this year to lengthen criminal sentences by requiring inmates to serve entire sentences for various felonies. Lee's administration allowed the bill to go into law despite his push to divert more people away from state prisons and expand services for those leaving incarceration.
However, his office exercises another powerful tool: executive privilege to keep government records private. Lee promised to overhaul Tennessee’s public records and open meeting laws during his transition into office, but to date, no action has been taken.
One of Lee's key wins during his first terms has included rewriting how Tennessee funds its public schools. Lee's administration spearheaded an effort that attaches a set amount of money per student, a model mirrored by nearly 40 other states.
Democratic lawmakers have criticized the move as sidestepping the bigger issue of funding the state's education system better, but supporters argue the new system simplified a confusing and outdated funding algorithm.
Meanwhile, Lee enacted a ban on abortion as early as six weeks into pregnancy — before many women know they're pregnant. The move came as Lee has repeatedly stresses his opposition to abortion. The ban only went into effect late last month, however, following the Supreme Court's ruling ending the constitutional right to the procedure.
Lee secured another win earlier this year when Tennessee's Supreme Court ruled that his 2019 contentious school voucher law, which passed by the thinnest of margins, did not violate the state's constitution. The law, which lets families use taxpayer dollars on private schools, still has not been implemented, but Lee and other school choice advocates say they hope it will be soon. | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/After-1st-term-Gov-Lee-unopposed-in-GOP-primary-17303149.php | 2022-07-13T20:46:26Z | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/After-1st-term-Gov-Lee-unopposed-in-GOP-primary-17303149.php | true | 12 |
SAN FRANCISCO, July 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Phyla's mission to make benzoyl peroxide obsolete for acne is off to a great start.
Using cutting edge microbiome research and bacteriophage technology, Phyla's acne serum tackles the root cause of acne – bacterial overgrowth – without causing collateral damage to our skin. Its serum is clinically proven to kill only the bad bacteria while recalibrating the microbiome for long-term skin health.
Founded by Dr. Yug Varma, a Ph.D. bioorganic chemist from Johns Hopkins University, Phyla's changing the way we treat chronic skin diseases. "The microbiome has emerged as one of the most promising and exciting areas in skincare, and we are one of the most mature and proven technologies in this space", says Dr. Varma. "As we are the first acne product in the market with phage technology, our approach is much more targeted to eliminating the root cause of acne and delivers excellent results without the side effects or relapses seen from other harsh products. We're proud of the profound impact our technology has had on our customers, and grateful for the overwhelming support they have shown us."
Earlier this year Phyla hired Neil Giugno as their COO/CMO. His global CPG marketing and commercial operations background along with his experience building and scaling genetics start-up GenoPalate positions Phyla well as it enters its growth stage.
"As we continue to focus on growth and furthering innovation in acne, we welcome the high value investors who have joined us in this round. We look forward to getting to the next stage of growth with them as our partners around the table", said Dr Varma. Maximum Effort Holdings (the investment firm led by Kevin Law and Ryan Reynolds), Willow Growth, N+1 Ventures, Joyance Partners and Brandon Shainfeld highlight Phyla's growth round. Progression Fund, an early investor, also joined the round.

I love a whiskey sour, but to drink a glass of straight whiskey is a skill I have yet to master. Perhaps that’s because I haven’t been using the right tools to create the optimal whiskey sipping experience. Could whiskey stones be the missing piece that takes me from a casual cocktail orderer to a brown-liquor enthusiast?
What are whiskey stones?
I recently learned how a sphere-shaped ice cube can transform any cocktail, because its shape allows for a slower melt. It turns out that whiskey stones have a similar benefit, plus additional perks, depending on your preferences.
Rolling Stone explains that whiskey stones (also known as whiskey rocks) work in the same way ice cubes would, chilling your beverage, but without melting and diluting the spirit. The stones are often made of soapstone, stainless steel, or even marble, and they come in various shapes and sizes, from sphere to cube to cylindrical.
Treat whiskey stones just like ice cubes: keep them in the freezer for at least a few hours before adding them to a drink. Vinepair also notes that some whiskey rocks will either neutrally chill the drink or impart a specific flavor, depending on their design.
Do whiskey stones work?
Yes and no. Depending on what the whiskey rock is made of, and depending on your personal preferences regarding whiskey sipping, a stone might not live up to expectations.
For example, as Rolling Stone notes, soapstone will cool a drink down, but it won’t keep the drink as chilled as ice cubes would. “This is intentional, since whiskey will start to lose the nuances of its flavor around 45 degrees Fahrenheit,” they explain. On the other hand, stainless-steel whiskey rocks will keep a beverage colder than the stone varieties (though still not as cold as ice cubes), and will keep it at that slightly lower temperature for a longer period of time.
No matter what, whiskey stones simply will not chill a drink as much as an actual ice cube will. Beyond that, some whiskey drinkers (or purists) might not want to invite the possibility that a stone will impart a certain taste and alter the flavor of the whiskey itself.
As a newbie, though, I think a little dilution from some genuine ice cubes is my friend, not my enemy. Whiskey is plenty strong for me even when it’s been cut with a little cold water. Fortunately, it’s a serving decision that everyone can make for themselves. The choice is fully in your hands, or in your freezer. | https://thetakeout.com/do-whiskey-stones-actually-work-1849174836 | 2022-07-13T20:58:45Z | https://thetakeout.com/do-whiskey-stones-actually-work-1849174836 | true | 1 |
Juelz Santana Hopeful for Lil Wayne Album with ICFMF Label Launch
Juelz Santana New Label, New Brand ... Long-Lost Lil Wayne Collab Still Possible
7/13/2022 1:10 PM PT
Dipset rapper Juelz Santana is officially a label with the launch of his I Can’t Feel My Face brand.
Juelz hit "TMZ Live" today to give us some insight on his new direction for his artists, Ski, Caesar, and his own nephew, Young Ja.
He promises everything ICFMF delivers will provide numbing entertainment … not an outrageous claim from the guy handpicked by Chris Brown to appear on his debut single “Run It!” back in 2005.
CB actually had to defend Juelz’s legacy on a recent episode of “Drink Champs” after Bow Wow tried to lay claim to the historic feature.
The ICFMF name first came around 2007 when Juelz and Lil Wayne were budding artists and frequent collaborators. They recorded dozens of tracks, but a formal project never materialized.
Juelz tells us his bond with Wayne is still strong so the future could still be bright.
Juelz was appreciative to Jim Jones however for reuniting him with Tunechi via his “We Set The Trends (Remix)” … with other heavy hitters DJ Khaled and all of the Migos.
His career has taken some dips over the last few years -- the Dipsetter recently did 17 months for a handgun found in his luggage -- but he’s been home since August 2020, and he says being a boss is the name of the game going forward.
Fun fact: If your state allows it, ICFMF also doubles as a cannabis company. | https://www.tmz.com/2022/07/13/juelz-santana-lil-wayne-tmz-live-i-cant-feel-my-face/ | 2022-07-13T21:00:45Z | https://www.tmz.com/2022/07/13/juelz-santana-lil-wayne-tmz-live-i-cant-feel-my-face/ | true | 1 |
SAN FRANCISCO, July 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Phyla's mission to make benzoyl peroxide obsolete for acne is off to a great start.
Using cutting edge microbiome research and bacteriophage technology, Phyla's acne serum tackles the root cause of acne – bacterial overgrowth – without causing collateral damage to our skin. Its serum is clinically proven to kill only the bad bacteria while recalibrating the microbiome for long-term skin health.
Founded by Dr. Yug Varma, a Ph.D. bioorganic chemist from Johns Hopkins University, Phyla's changing the way we treat chronic skin diseases. "The microbiome has emerged as one of the most promising and exciting areas in skincare, and we are one of the most mature and proven technologies in this space", says Dr. Varma. "As we are the first acne product in the market with phage technology, our approach is much more targeted to eliminating the root cause of acne and delivers excellent results without the side effects or relapses seen from other harsh products. We're proud of the profound impact our technology has had on our customers, and grateful for the overwhelming support they have shown us."
Earlier this year Phyla hired Neil Giugno as their COO/CMO. His global CPG marketing and commercial operations background along with his experience building and scaling genetics start-up GenoPalate positions Phyla well as it enters its growth stage.
"As we continue to focus on growth and furthering innovation in acne, we welcome the high value investors who have joined us in this round. We look forward to getting to the next stage of growth with them as our partners around the table", said Dr Varma. Maximum Effort Holdings (the investment firm led by Kevin Law and Ryan Reynolds), Willow Growth, N+1 Ventures, Joyance Partners and Brandon Shainfeld highlight Phyla's growth round. Progression Fund, an early investor, also joined the round.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal court has issued an order prohibiting a North Carolina pharmacy and its two pharmacists from dispensing controlled substances without taking steps to help ensure the drugs will not be abused, the U.S. Justice Department said Wednesday.
The consent decree resolves a complaint filed by the U.S. on July 7, alleging that Asheboro Drug Company and its pharmacists filled prescriptions in violation of the Controlled Substances Act, a department news release said. The pharmacy was also ordered to pay $300,000 in civil penalties, which it agreed to do.
According to the complaint, the defendants dispensed prescription opioids while disregarding numerous signs of drug abuse, drug diversion and drug-seeking behavior. As an example, the complaint said the defendants filled prescriptions for dangerous combinations of drugs sought by drug abusers and significantly increased the risk of overdose.
The complaint also alleged that the defendants would at times dispense the same or similar prescriptions for multiple members of the same family, refill prescriptions early without justification, and ignored prescriptions from doctors who repeatedly wrote suspect prescriptions. | https://www.manisteenews.com/news/article/NC-pharmacy-ordered-to-take-steps-to-prevent-drug-17303241.php | 2022-07-13T21:10:23Z | https://www.manisteenews.com/news/article/NC-pharmacy-ordered-to-take-steps-to-prevent-drug-17303241.php | true | 11 |

Re “Prop. 1 kills all limits on abortion” (July 10):
As is the usual myth surrounding abortions, Jon Fleischman posits that passing Prop. 1 would result in babies being aborted right up till the moment before birth. Statistics show that fewer than 1% of abortions take place in the third trimester.
They generally happen for one of two reasons: medical concerns such as the life of the mother or lethal fetal abnormalities not detected earlier in the pregnancy, or barriers to earlier abortion due to a lack of abortion providers or to funds to pay for medical care. Although these late-term abortions are extremely rare, they are the main reason given by many people, including Fleischman, to get others to oppose all abortions.
Please report the facts, not wild claims, about this very difficult and devastating decision that some women have to make.

Rising price of gas
Re “Gas shock fears sparks Russian oil price cap plan” (July 10):
So, our President Joe Biden finally wants to help the American public and try to do something about the huge jump in the price of gas at the pump? Really, Mr. Biden, what took you so long to recognize this problem? Or is this merely a political move to look good and attempt to gather votes for Democratic candidates in November? Here’s a solution: Stop buying oil from Russia (and bloating their coffers to pay for their war against Ukraine) and re-establish the construction of the Keystone pipeline, among other things. We simply must stop buying foreign oil and set systems in place for us to produce oil for our own needs. This is what the American public wants, and needs.

Care for the Turpin siblings
This Riverside County case reported in the paper (July 9) is just one more shameful event in the history of the “child and adult protective service.” This is rather mild when compared to what occurred in the case of Noah McIntosh back in 2019. Every time, just as this last case, the excuse given is “burdensome caseloads and lack of social workers.”
In 2019 there was a finding that the county has made significant strides to ensure the “safety and well being of children.” Really, how can the Riverside County officials sleep peacefully at night?

Why spending time near water gives us a powerful mental health boost
We have long known that connecting with nature in green spaces is great for our mental health. Now fresh research is showing that time near water - by the coast, rivers and even fountains in the park - is even more restorative
WHETHER it is a bracing sea breeze, the gentle lapping of waves or the glint of sunshine on a rippling surface, there is something deeply restorative about being in or near water. The Victorians knew this, prescribing sea air as a treatment for melancholy. So did the French, who, for centuries, sent people with ailments to natural springs. Now scientists are catching up.
We recognise the benefits of being out in nature more keenly than ever these days. Hundreds of studies that catalogue the positive effects are being translated into health policies and urban redevelopment projects that aim to nudge people into the great outdoors and, in doing so, alleviate many of the health burdens that accompany modern life.
But as we rush off to embrace the wilds, and the accompanying boost to our health and mental well-being, we might want to stop and consider exactly where we are heading. While we are becoming increasingly preoccupied with spending time in green spaces, fresh research is showing that blue spaces – areas next to water – might give us even more benefits.
The idea that nature can give us a mental pick-me-up is nothing new. The Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, or “forest bathing”, is an established tradition of connecting with nature through all the senses. It became popular in the 1980s, after studies demonstrated its calming effects on both body and mind, reducing heart rate, stress hormones and blood pressure.
Epidemiological studies have since backed up the idea, showing that people who live in greener areas tend to have better mental health. Until fairly recently, however, it wasn’t clear whether this was really … | https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg25533950-700-why-spending-time-near-water-gives-us-a-powerful-mental-health-boost/?utm_campaign=RSS%7CNSNS&utm_source=NSNS&utm_medium=RSS&utm_content=home | 2022-07-13T21:20:47Z | https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg25533950-700-why-spending-time-near-water-gives-us-a-powerful-mental-health-boost/?utm_campaign=RSS%7CNSNS&utm_source=NSNS&utm_medium=RSS&utm_content=home | true | 1 |

Show all 2Flooding in a remote pocket of southwest Virginia has damaged more than 100 homes and left some 40 people unaccounted for, but there are no confirmed deaths or injuries, authorities said Wednesday.
First responders in Buchanan County began receiving reports of rising water and damage Tuesday night, authorities said at a news conference Wednesday afternoon. After daybreak, crews conducted aerial surveys to examine the extent of the disaster. Several small communities in the Virginia county that borders West Virginia and Kentucky were impacted, according to the sheriff's office.
About 40 people — a mix of adults and children — were reported unaccounted for, but that number was expected to decrease as swift-water rescue teams continued to survey the area, authorities said. A shelter was established at a local school.
Buchanan County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Eric Breeding said that the number of persons unaccounted for is based on relatives trying to contact a resident in an area where there may be limited or no phone service.
“It doesn’t necessarily mean that they are in trouble or in danger. They’re just letting us know that we need to check on these people,” Breeding told reporters.
An official from the Virginia Department of Emergency Management said accessing the remote area was part of the struggle for search-and-rescue teams. Many roadways are blocked by landslides and approaches to bridges are washed out, the official said.
Buchanan County also suffered serious flooding damage last year, when the remnants of a hurricane hit the area in September, washing away homes and leaving one person dead.
This week's flooding was less severe but more widespread, authorities said at the news conference.
Gov. Glenn Youngkin declared a state of emergency to aid with the response and recovery efforts.
“As we continue to assess the situation, I want to thank our first responders and the personnel on the ground for providing assistance with our ongoing operations in Buchanan County. While rescue and recovery continues, please join me in prayer as we lift up our fellow Virginians impacted by this tragedy,” Youngkin said in a statement.
Heavy thunderstorms also led to flash flooding Tuesday evening along the Little Pigeon River in eastern Tennessee that prompted the evacuation of more than 400 people from a campground. No injuries were reported in the Tennessee flooding, but vehicles and debris from the Greenbrier Campground were washed downstream by floodwaters, Sevier County Assistant Mayor Perrin Anderson told news outlets.

SILVER SPRING, Md., July 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) for the Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted for the prevention of COVID-19 caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in individuals 18 years of age and older.
"Authorizing an additional COVID-19 vaccine expands the available vaccine options for the prevention of COVID-19, including the most severe outcomes that can occur such as hospitalization and death," said FDA Commissioner Robert M. Califf, M.D. "Today's authorization offers adults in the United States who have not yet received a COVID-19 vaccine another option that meets the FDA's rigorous standards for safety, effectiveness and manufacturing quality needed to support emergency use authorization. COVID-19 vaccines remain the best preventive measure against severe disease caused by COVID-19 and I encourage anyone who is eligible for, but has not yet received a COVID-19 vaccine, to consider doing so."
The FDA has determined that the Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted has met the statutory criteria for issuance of an EUA. The data support that the known and potential benefits of the vaccine outweigh its known and potential risks in people 18 years of age and older, and that this vaccine may be effective in preventing COVID-19. In making this determination, the FDA can assure the public and medical community that a thorough analysis and evaluation of the available safety and effectiveness data and manufacturing information have been conducted.
The Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted is administered as a two-dose primary series, three weeks apart. The vaccine contains the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and Matrix-M adjuvant. Adjuvants are incorporated into some vaccines to enhance the immune response of the vaccinated individual. The spike protein in this vaccine is produced in insect cells; the Matrix M-adjuvant contains saponin extracts from the bark of the Soapbark tree that is native to Chile.
"After a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the data, and assessment of the manufacturing processes and information, as well as input from the FDA's committee of external independent advisors, the FDA's medical and scientific experts have determined that the vaccine meets the FDA's high standards for safety and effectiveness for emergency use authorization," said Peter Marks, M.D., Ph.D., director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. "Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted provides another alternative for adults and adds another vaccine to the COVID-19 vaccine supply for the United States. The American public can trust that this vaccine, like all vaccines that are used in the United States, has undergone the FDA's rigorous and comprehensive scientific and regulatory review."
FDA Evaluation of Available Effectiveness Data
The vaccine was assessed in an ongoing randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled study conducted in the United States and Mexico. The effectiveness of the vaccine was assessed in clinical trial participants 18 years of age and older who did not have evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection through 6 days after receiving the second vaccine dose. Among these participants, approximately 17,200 received the vaccine and approximately 8,300 received saline placebo. Overall, the vaccine was 90.4% effective in preventing mild, moderate or severe COVID-19, with 17 cases of COVID-19 occurring in the vaccine group and 79 cases in the placebo group. No cases of moderate or severe COVID-19 were reported in participants who received the vaccine, compared with 9 cases of moderate COVID-19 and 4 cases of severe COVID-19 reported in placebo recipients. In the subset of participants 65 years of age and older, the vaccine was 78.6% effective. The clinical trial was conducted prior to the emergence of delta and omicron variants.
FDA Evaluation of Available Safety Data
The safety of the vaccine was assessed in approximately 26,000 clinical trial participants who received the vaccine and approximately 25,000 who received placebo. The most commonly reported side effects by vaccine recipients included pain/tenderness, redness and swelling at the injection site, fatigue, muscle pain, headache, joint pain, nausea/vomiting and fever. Approximately 21,000 vaccine recipients had at least two months of safety follow-up after their second dose.
The Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers Administering Vaccine (Vaccination Providers) includes a warning that clinical trial data provide evidence for increased risks of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of tissue surrounding the heart) following administration of Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted. The Fact Sheet for Recipients and Caregivers informs that in most people who have had myocarditis or pericarditis after receiving the vaccine, symptoms began within 10 days following vaccination and that vaccine recipients should seek medical attention right away if they experience any of the following symptoms after vaccination: chest pain, shortness of breath, feelings of having a fast-beating, fluttering or pounding heart.
As part of this authorization, it is mandatory for the company, Novavax Inc., and vaccination providers to report the following to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS): serious adverse events, cases of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome and cases of COVID-19 that result in hospitalization or death.
It is also mandatory for vaccination providers to report all vaccine administration errors to VAERS for which they become aware and for Novavax Inc. to include a summary and analysis of all identified vaccine administration errors in monthly safety reports submitted to the FDA.
The FDA has evaluated the pharmacovigilance plan submitted by the company to monitor the safety of Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted as it will be used under EUA to ensure that any safety concerns are identified and evaluated in a timely manner. As a condition of authorization, the company will conduct studies to further assess its safety, including studies to further assess the risks of myocarditis and pericarditis.
In addition, the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have several systems in place to continually monitor COVID-19 vaccine safety and allow for the timely detection and investigation of potential safety concerns.
The FDA also expects Novavax Inc. to continue their clinical trials to obtain additional safety and effectiveness data and pursue approval (licensure). The EUA was issued to Novavax Inc. The authorization will be effective until the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use of drugs and biologics for prevention and treatment of COVID-19 is terminated. The EUA may be revised or revoked if it is determined the EUA no longer meets the statutory criteria for issuance.

(iSeeCars) — While pickup trucks are known for their wide array of capabilities, including off-road adventures, hauling heavy loads, and even offering a fair degree of luxury in their upper trim levels, a truck’s maximum towing capability is typically its most impressive specification. Unlike SUVs that have to balance passenger space and cargo capacity with towing needs, trucks have a more utilitarian focus that’s reflected in their powertrains specs, including payload capacity and tow rating.
We’ve included the max tow rating for each truck listed below, along with maximum horsepower and lb-ft of torque figures for the engine that delivers the best tow capacity. You might not be surprised to learn the best engine for towing is rarely the base engine. We’ve also included each truck’s starting MSRP. Keep in mind that achieving a truck’s highest towing capacity will often involve ordering (and paying for) a tow package. You can also increase any truck’s maximum towing capacity by adding a gooseneck or fifth wheel hitch in the center of the bed, which locates the trailer’s tongue weight directly over the rear axle to improve trailer stability.
While heavy-duty pickups have the highest towing capacity, we’ve also included the specifications for full-size and midsize trucks below.
Best Trucks for Towing: Heavy-Duty Trucks
These are the largest and most capable consumer pickup trucks. Their engine options include diesel engines (usually turbo diesels) with names like “Cummins”, “Duramax” and “Power Stroke”. They are also physically larger than full-size trucks, making them the best pickups for towing large, heavy trailers or campers. It’s worth noting that while manual transmissions used to be commonplace in pickup trucks, in recent model years every automaker has switched to automatic transmissions across their lineups.
*Denotes diesel engine
Best Trucks for Towing: Full-Size Pickups
Full-size pickups are consistently the best-selling vehicles in the U.S. market, reflecting their strong demand as both work vehicles and weekend adventure vehicles. Available as both regular cab (two door) and crew cab (four-door) models, full-size trucks like the Chevy Silverado 1500 and the Ram 1500 have evolved into capable, even luxurious, family transportation. But they haven’t yet dethroned the Ford F-150 as the best-selling truck for the past four decades. Does the Ford’s highest tow rating in this category play into its ongoing sales success? Maybe.
*Denotes diesel engine
Best Trucks for Towing: Midsize Pickups
Although physically smaller than modern full-size pickups, today’s midsize trucks still offer roomy, comfortable cabins and enough towing capacity to serve many of today’s truck buyers while being easier to park and delivering superior fuel economy. You can’t get a high-torque diesel or V8 engine in this category, but you will find capable V6 and four-cylinder engines, rear-wheel and four-wheel drive powertrains, plus premium features like advanced infotainment systems and safety features. There’s even a fully-electric midsize truck from Rivian, though it’s starting price is between two and three times the cost of a traditional model.
* Denotes diesel engine
Bottom Line:
Pickup trucks come in many configurations and offer a wide range of features across trims. There are also more models than ever before to choose from thanks to the growing compact and midsize truck segment. Hauling capability can also vary widely across trucks in each segment, so if towing capacity is a priority, consider the heaviest haulers on this list. | https://kfor.com/automotive/these-best-trucks-for-towing/ | 2022-07-13T21:24:54Z | https://kfor.com/automotive/these-best-trucks-for-towing/ | true | 30 |
MCLEAN, Va., July 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CakeBoxx Technologies, the global leader in specialized, high value, and high consequence cargo transportation platforms – and innovator of the first and only SAFETY Act Qualified intermodal container – today announced the appointment of Sean Tan as Chief Technical Officer (CTO). Tan will join CakeBoxx' corporate headquarters team in McLean and is tasked with leading the company's worldwide R&D, systems engineering, and ongoing product development initiatives.

The single most consequential player in the Supreme Court’s current conservative revolution is also the least conspicuous. Justice Amy Coney Barrett powered the court’s hard-right turn by casting the fifth vote in several major decisions—most notably, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overruled Roe v. Wade. Yet over the course of the most fractious term in modern history, she rarely bothered to explain herself. While Donald Trump’s other two justices spilled much ink defending their positions, Barrett remained reticent. By the end of the term, she had become an enigmatic figure whose jurisprudence grew more cryptic and confusing with each decision. Even as her court grew more aggressive, she seemed to recede from view.
This tactical retreat from the public eye hints at the headwinds that Barrett faced in her second year on the court. The justice was ill-prepared for many aspects of her job, and after a series of unforced errors, she has faded into the background whenever possible. As a result, the woman who entrenched the Republican Party’s control over the federal judiciary comes across more as a loyal backbencher than an independent thinker.
It may be tempting for progressives to assume that Barrett is cynically withdrawing into the intellectual shadows so she can inflict maximum damage with minimal backlash. But the better explanation may be that the justice is simply in over her head.
Part of the problem is that, of all the current justices, Barrett had the least amount of preparation and training for the unique requirements of the job. She spent most of her career as a professor at Notre Dame Law School, where her students chose her as distinguished professor of the year three times. Her academic work was often dry and technical, verging on esoteric, and she avoided committing herself to any controversial ideas. Donald Trump appointed her to a federal appeals court in 2017, where she served for less than three years before joining the Supreme Court. Her opinions seemed calculated to improve her chances for a SCOTUS seat.
No other member of today’s court had so little experience in public service before their elevation. Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Sam Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Ketanji Brown Jackson all served substantial terms on the lower courts. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Clarence Thomas served only brief stints on the lower courts, but unlike Barrett, they held prominent government posts before that. The closest comparison is Justice Elena Kagan, who had never been a judge before she joined SCOTUS. Kagan, however, worked in Bill Clinton’s administration for four years then served as Barack Obama’s solicitor general. She also spent nearly six years as dean of Harvard Law School, presiding over a snake pit of clashing egos—a perfect training program for the Supreme Court.
Justices are politicians, whether they like it or not. They wield an immense amount of power, guaranteeing intense scrutiny of their words and actions. And because the court’s authority rests on public perceptions of its legitimacy, that scrutiny matters a great deal. When they decline to explain their votes, they create the impression that they’re exercising raw power instead of principled legal judgment.
That’s especially true of Barrett, whose eleventh-hour confirmation to replace the liberal Ruth Bader Ginsburg destabilized the entire judiciary. Trump, abetted by Sen. Mitch McConnell, rushed her onto the bench in the midst of an election to lock in GOP control of the courts. She refused to answer questions at her hearings, proffering opaque platitudes to avoid derailing her confirmation. This behavior foreshadowed her style of judging: provide as few answers as possible to preserve maximal latitude.
Since then, Barrett has done little to dispel the fumes of partisanship and illegitimacy that poisoned her appointment. Her attempts at public relations have backfired. She inked a lucrative book deal for her memoirs before she had produced a scintilla of a public thought. In September, the justice declared that she and her colleagues were not “a bunch of partisan hacks” while standing next to McConnell at a center named after him. (She limited press access to the event.) In April, she urged Americans to “read the opinions” before concluding that the court’s work was “purely results-driven.”
There’s just one problem with that instruction: During her tenure, the court has radically altered the law through the shadow docket without issuing any opinions. It did so once again just two days after Barrett’s read-the-opinion speech by a 5–4 vote. She wordlessly joined the majority.
Barrett’s performance at oral arguments, too, has been befuddling. She tends to ask very specific questions about some obscure aspect of the case, as if to flaunt her intricate knowledge of the record or her nuanced thinking. Then she signs onto an un-nuanced, hard-line opinion that completely ignores her putative concerns. Often, at arguments, she presents herself as a reasonable moderate earnestly grappling with the issues at hand; in opinions, she is just another automatic vote for a reactionary result.
Barrett’s biggest blunder was probably her question, during arguments in Dobbs, about “safe haven laws,” which let parents relinquish newborns without penalty. She suggested that these laws obviate the need for abortion, as if nine months of unwanted pregnancy were no big deal. That tone-deaf remark, as well as a gaffe about the “Jewish-Palestinian conflict,” indicated that she is not ready for prime time.
When the decisions come down, Barrett is frequently missing in action. As the junior justice, she does not get assigned blockbuster opinions, but she is free to write concurrences and dissents. Gorsuch and Kavanaugh wasted no time making their mark on the court through concurring opinions explaining their votes. These separate writings aim to give a reasoned defense of the justices’ stance and to distinguish their intellectual projects from the conservative herd.
Barrett has chosen a different tack: silence. This term, she has joined a number of important 6–3 and 5–4 decisions that shifted the law rightward without a sentence of explanation. The justice wrote nothing in Dobbs to tell us why she overruled Roe. She wrote nothing in Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta, a brutal 5–4 assault on tribal sovereignty. Nothing in West Virginia v. EPA hobbling climate regulations; or Kennedy v. Bremerton allowing Christian prayer in public schools; or Carson v. Makin forcing public funding of religious education; or Vega v. Tekoh undermining Miranda warnings; or the brutal habeas decisions that let states execute innocent people.
When Barrett does write a concurrence, it’s usually short and academic. Her opinion in the concealed carry case, for instance, ponders the precise historical period judges should look to when determining the original meaning of the Constitution. (As if the majority won’t start with its preferred conclusion and cherry-pick history to support it.) Her opinion in the Boston bomber case is a snoozer about federal appeals courts’ authority to impose procedural rules on district courts; it’s really just a summary of her own 2006 law review article. Her few concurrences pertaining to religious freedom were surprisingly open-ended and noncommittal for a justice who was expected to produce a robust free exercise jurisprudence.
Barrett’s defenders might argue that her modesty is an admirable trait, a signal that she is approaching the job with discipline, restraint, and a refreshing lack of ego. It’s hard to reconcile this claim with the justice’s eagerness to tour the public speaking circuit offering partisan speeches and taking potshots at journalists. A willingness to speak in political venues while remaining silent on the actual judicial job doesn’t bespeak modesty; it suggests one is a merely political actor.
Nor do Barrett’s votes evince modesty or restraint. Over the last term, Barrett drifted rightward, away from Roberts and Kavanaugh toward the Thomas wing of the court. Time and again, when the court split 5–4, Roberts and Kavanaugh joined the liberals while Barrett sided with the extreme reactionaries. She tried to block Biden’s vaccine mandate for health care workers and his repeal of Trump’s anti-asylum policy. She sought to stop returning veterans from suing state employers that discriminate against them. And she attempted to prevent death row inmates from effectively challenging their method of execution.
Based on this evidence, many progressives have concluded that Barrett is exactly what she professes not to be: a partisan hack. Perhaps she is. But she is also a law professor. And her rocky start demonstrates the drawbacks of launching a law professor into the highest echelon of the judiciary. Outside of a leadership role like dean, academia is poor preparation for the Supreme Court. Professors debate ideas, write law review articles, and attend conferences to promote their scholarship. They think and talk about power rather than exercising it. Most do not expect millions of strangers to pore over their entire record with a critical eye.
From Day One, Barrett has approached this job as an academic. She treats cases like intriguing thought experiments rather than disputes between real people with life-and-death consequences. Her worst questions, like the “safe haven” disaster, sound like a parlor game. It’s easy to envision Barrett probing a student with such a question in an effort to test the strength of their argument. At oral arguments, though, it sounded like a callous minimization of the devastating burdens imposed by pregnancy.
Maybe none of this matters. Trump and the Federalist Society nominated a legion of conservative law professors because they valued ideological purity over practical experience. The learning curve, they reasoned, is irrelevant with life tenure; judges have decades to settle into the role. True enough for now. But the Supreme Court is simultaneously the most and least powerful branch: capable of striking down any law or executive action, yet incapable of enforcing its decisions with anything except persuasion. It derives its authority from our buy-in.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — Already a two-time winner at St. Andrews, Tiger Woods picked up another honor before he even struck a shot in the 150th edition of the British Open.
He’s now an honorary member of the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews.
The R&A used the occasion of its big celebration this week to confer honorary membership to Open champions Woods, Rory McIlroy and Paul Lawrie.
It’s not like Woods needs any help getting a tee time on the Old Course, or even gaining entry into the famous clubhouse. But it’s a nice honor.
“It is not only the home of golf but a place in this world that I hold near my heart,” Woods said in a statement. “I am humbled to accept this invitation alongside these outstanding players today, as well as those who came before us.”
Woods won in 2000 and 2005 at St. Andrews, and then at Royal Liverpool in 2006. The next time at Royal Liverpool, in 2014, was McIlroy’s turn, winning wire-to-wire for the third leg of the career Grand Slam. Lawrie won in historic and memorable fashion at Carnoustie in 1999, a 10-shot comeback against Jean Van de Velde and winning in a playoff.
“It’s a privilege to represent a club that has done so much for golf over so many years and I’m proud to play my part in promoting golf around the world,” McIlroy said.
DECHAMBEAU SPONSOR
Bryson DeChambeau no longer has a golf ball sponsorship with Bridgestone, the latest example of sponsors breaking with players who signed with Saudi-funded LIV Golf.
Golf.com reported DeChambeau will be using the Bridgestone ball. He just won’t get paid for it.
“The PGA Tour is an extremely important part of professional golf, and Bridgestone has a sports marketing relationship with this highly visible series of tournaments,” Bridgestone said in a statement to the website. “In considering that Bryson DeChambeau will no longer be participating in these events, Bridgestone and Bryson have agreed to end their brand ambassador partnership.”
DeChambeau had been with Bridgestone since 2016 and signed an extension in 2020. The idea was to take a bigger role in developing new golf balls.
DeChambeau is the first player to lose an equipment deal in the LIV Golf era. Callaway said it was pausing its relationship with Phil Mickelson.
MACINTYRE’S ‘GOOSEBUMPS’
Hometown hopes at St. Andrews are resting on the burly shoulders of Robert MacIntyre, one of three Scots in the field this week.
And the locals will hope MacIntrye can back up top-10 finishes in his first two appearances in the British Open with another strong run at the claret jug. Those came in Northern Ireland (Royal Portrush) and England (Royal St. George’s) and playing in his native Scotland — at the home of golf, no less — gives it a different feel.
“When I was driving in on Sunday, that’s the first time I’ve ever had goosebumps coming to St. Andrews,” the 25-year-old MacIntyre said. “I always drove into town and it’s like, ‘Oh, we’re in St. Andrews.’
“But when I came in from above the town and I had the music on, I actually had goosebumps.”
Scotland’s last Open champion was Paul Lawrie in 1999 at Carnoustie. He will hit the opening tee shot Thursday.
SPIETH AGAINST SPIETH
There are some parts of Jordan Spieth’s game that he thinks are better now than when he first played at St. Andrews in 2015. But then again, he was winning more seven years ago.
So who wins between Spieth at St. Andrews in 2015 and Spieth at St. Andrews in 2022?
Spieth leaned toward 2015 because of his momentum. He had won the previous week at the John Deere Classic, and his tournament before that he won the U.S. Open for the second leg of the calendar Grand Slam.
“I would say if I played against myself then, if I beat myself then this week, then I would be holding a trophy,” Spieth said.
That would be simple math. Spieth finished one shot out of the three-man playoff.
“I don’t necessarily know that I could answer that because I feel I hit it further, I feel that my knowledge of seeing a lot more majors and a lot more tournaments can mentally … maybe I have some advantage on a shot that I wouldn’t have thought about then,” he said.
“But I was also canning everything that I looked at then, and I can’t say that’s going to happen every week. But it certainly can happen in four days.”
SCHEFFLER’S OUTLOOK
Scottie Scheffler comes to the British Open as the No. 1 player in the world. For him, that doesn’t mean he’s the player to beat. He’s not sure anyone thinks that.
“I guess I am No. 1 in the rankings. I’m not sure if I’m necessarily perceived that way by you all or whoever it is, but that’s not stuff that I really ever think about,” he said. “For me I’m just trying to go out and play good golf.”
He can be easy to overlook. Scheffler had not won on the PGA Tour until the Phoenix Open in February. And then he couldn’t lose. He won Bay Hill and Match Play to reach No. 1, and then he won the Masters.
He missed the cut at the PGA Championship, but then he was right there was a chance to win the U.S. Open. He finished one shot behind.
Scheffler isn’t complaining.
“I don’t feel like there’s any extra attention on me. I haven’t read much, but I would assume not everybody’s picking me to win this week,” he said. “I don’t think I was the favorite maybe going into the Masters. I’m not sure if I’ve been the favorite maybe going into any tournaments.
“That may not be the true perception. That’s just mine, but I don’t read a ton of stuff,” he said. “So for me I don’t really feel like whatever being No. 1 would be.”

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Jose Miranda hit a game-ending, three-run homer against Milwaukee’s Josh Hader as the Minnesota Twins finally got a timely hit to beat the Brewers 4-1 on Wednesday.
Miranda’s third hit of the game traveled to the second deck in left field. The 23-year-old rookie knew it was gone as he threw his bat and looked at the Minnesota dugout before the ball landed. The Twins have five walk-off wins this season.
Hader (0-3) walked Jorge Polanco and allowed a single to Max Kepler before Miranda’s drive.
Jhoan Duran (1-3) earned the first win of his career with one inning in relief, allowing one hit and a walk. Milwaukee had runners on first and second in the ninth inning, but Jace Peterson grounded into a 3-6-3 double play to end the threat.
Peterson homered earlier for the Brewers’ lone run.
Minnesota had plenty of chances to put the game away, but the Twins were 1 for 10 with runners in scoring position and left 13 runners on base through the first nine innings.
FOR STARTERS
Joe Ryan gave up just two hits in 5 1/3 innings for Minnesota. He allowed Peterson’s solo homer leading off the third.
Aaron Ashby struggled to put away Twins hitters — until it mattered. In his third start since coming off the injured list for left forearm inflammation, Ashby threw 101 pitches in 4 1/3 innings. He surrendered six hits and walked three but allowed just one run.
Minnesota left seven runners on base in the first four innings against the left-hander, but Ashby’s day was done after a pair of one-out singles in the fifth. Trevor Gott came on in relief and stranded both runners.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Brewers: OF Christian Yelich missed his second straight game with mid-back tightness.
Twins: RHP Joe Smith was reinstated from the 15-day injured list after recovering from upper trap tightness. RHP Josh Winder was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul. ... RHP Chris Archer, on the 15-day injured list with left hip tightness, is lined up to start Sunday.
UP NEXT
Brewers: RHP Corbin Burnes (7-4, 2.20 ERA) opens Milwaukee’s four-game series in San Francisco on Thursday. The Giants will counter with LHP Carlos Rodón (8-5, 2.70) in a matchup of two starters headed to the All-Star Game.
Twins: RHP Sonny Gray (4-2, 3.03) starts Thursday as Minnesota hosts the White Sox for a four-game series. Gray surrendered a season-high five runs in 4 2/3 innings against Texas in his last start. Chicago is scheduled to start RHP Johnny Cueto (3-4, 2.91).

DENVER (AP) — A wealthy dentist killed his wife of 34 years with a shotgun blast at dawn on a remote African safari in 2016, collected nearly $5 million in insurance proceeds and later blurted out to his longtime lover that “I killed my f—g wife for you!,” a U.S. prosecutor told a jury in opening statements of the dentist’s murder trial Wednesday.
The alleged admission happened during an argument between Lawrence “Larry” Rudolph and his girlfriend, Lori Milliron, at a Phoenix steakhouse after he learned in 2020 that the FBI was investigating his wife Bianca Rudolph’s shooting death in a small cabin in Zambia, Assistant U.S. Attorney Bishop Grewell said in a Denver courtroom.
“He killed his wife for HER!,” Grewell said, pointing at Milliron, who is charged with lying to a grand jury and being an accessory after the fact and is being tried alongside Rudolph.
Rudolph, 67, is charged with murder and mail fraud in what prosecutors describe as a premeditated crime. He faces a maximum term of life in prison or the death penalty if convicted of murder in the trial, which is being held in a Colorado courtroom because the insurance payouts were based here.
Rudolph has maintained his innocence. He told Zambian police his wife died while he was in the bathroom, suggesting she shot herself while trying to pack a shotgun the couple took on the trip.
“They’ve chosen speculation over science. They’ve chosen fiction over fact,” declared Rudolph’s attorney, David Markus, in an equally impassioned opening statement.
Markus argued that the Rudolphs, the parents of two children, were in a happy marriage in 2016 that over the years had its ups and downs because both had had extramarital affairs — but that both continued to take frequent big game hunting trips. Bianca Rudolph was long aware of her husband’s relationship with Milliron, he said.
Markus had the couple’s grown children stand in court to affirm to jurors they were there to support their father, who along with Milliron paid close attention to the opening statements.
Milliron’s attorney, John Dill, told jurors his client knew nothing about any alleged murder and suggested she is the victim of leading questions by investigators and the grand jury.
“This isn’t a trial about adultery,” Dill said.
No one witnessed the shotgun blast in the cabin, said Milliron’s attorney, John Dill. The shotgun occurred about 5 a.m. as local guides were in and out serving the couple coffee and helping them prepare for the return trip to the U.S., Markus said.
Within seconds, the guides were inside, finding Rudolph in distress and shock, Markus said. With support staff in and out that morning, the cabin’s doors open and window shades pulled up, Rudolph wouldn’t have had time to get away with shooting his wife, Markus argued.
Displaying a photo of the cabin — blood spattered on the floor, Bianca’s body covered by a black-striped white blanket, a 12-gauge Browning shotgun lying inside a soft case nearby — Markus argued that Bianca accidentally dropped the weapon, triggering the fatal shot in the heart, as she hurriedly packed up for the trip while Larry Rudolph was in the bathroom.
Zambian authorities determined two days after the Oct. 11, 2016, shooting that it was accidental, Markus said. Investigators for the insurers who later paid $4.8 million reached the same conclusion.
Prosecutors counter that evidence shows her wounds came from a shot fired from 2 to 3.5 feet away.
The government will prove that Rudolph, who built a small fortune with a Pennsylvania dental franchise, killed Bianca after receiving an ultimatum from Milliron, a former hygienist and manager of his office, that he divorce his wife, Grewell said.
Federal prosecutors, citing a U.S. consular official and others in Zambia, say Rudolph was in a hurry to have his wife cremated before returning home. A friend of Bianca’s, too, told the FBI she was suspicious because Bianca was a devout Catholic who would have opposed the practice.
But Markus displayed to jurors a copy of what he said was Bianca’s will stating she wanted to be cremated in the event of her death.
Markus argued that Rudolph had no financial motive for murder. His net worth was more than $15 million at the time; the insurance proceeds went into a trust for their children; and a prenuptial agreement with Bianca specified she’d get $2 million in case of a divorce, he said.
Rudolph plans to testify during the three-week trial, Markus said.
“He has the truth on his side,” Rudolph said.
Markus also told jurors that Rudolph’s alleged admission of guilt at the Phoenix restaurant was misheard by the witness. He claimed that what his client actually said was, ““They’re saying I killed my f—g wife for you,” Markus said.
“If that is what this case depends on, I can’t believe we’re going to be here for three weeks,” Markus said.
The case has attracted attention from Zambia to Pennsylvania to Arizona, where the Rudolphs — and later Rudolph and Milliron — established a comfortable residence in the Phoenix-area enclave of Paradise Valley.
Rudolph had built a small fortune as a dentist and later owner of a dental sedation franchise in the Pittsburgh area. He was a familiar fixture on local TV, advertising his services. He met Bianca at the University of Pittsburgh, where he studied dentistry, and they married in 1982.
The couple took frequent trips abroad and had traveled to Kafue National Park in 2016 so Bianca could fulfill her wish of bagging a leopard. | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/u-s-news/ap-u-s-news/federal-prosecutor-dentist-confessed-to-wifes-safari-death/ | 2022-07-13T21:30:53Z | https://www.tristatehomepage.com/u-s-news/ap-u-s-news/federal-prosecutor-dentist-confessed-to-wifes-safari-death/ | false | 43 |
More than 290 grantees selected as parents' interest in alternative models remains high
ARLINGTON, Va. , July 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As the new school year approaches, VELA Education Fund today announced 294 grant recipients who will receive a total of $2.79 million to support nontraditional education programs that serve families across 44 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico.
The Micro grants of up to $10,000 each are being awarded to everyday entrepreneurs such as students, parents, educators, and community leaders who are leading innovative approaches to teaching and learning, including microschools, homeschool support groups, and more.
These nontraditional models are increasingly popular with families. For instance, the percentage of families who homeschool their children more than doubled during the pandemic and increased fivefold among Black families. Even with schools now reopened, the number remains well above pre-pandemic levels.
"Families across the country are hungry for education programs that reflect their values, that are hands-on, engaging, and dynamic," said Meredith Olson, VELA's president. "We're thrilled to see the demand nationwide and are excited to be supporting these local entrepreneurs."
In less than two years, VELA has now awarded 1,600 grants totaling more than $16.5 million. Grant recipients live in all 50 states as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
VELA recently changed its grantmaking timeline to accommodate prospective grant recipients, and applicants will now be accepted on a rolling basis through October. Applicants can learn more at velaedfund.org/grant-opportunities and sign up at velaedfund.org/connect to receive updates directly from VELA.
Meredith Olson, President of VELA Education Fund, is available for interviews. If interested in pursuing a story, please contact Lisa Cohen at lisacohencomm@gmail.com.
VELA is a national nonprofit fund that launched in 2020. VELA invests in everyday entrepreneurs – students, parents, educators, and community leaders – who are envisioning new approaches that meet learners' and families' needs. These models include homeschool co-ops, microschools, after-school programs, and much, much more. VELA does not dictate solutions to its grantees. Instead, VELA trusts grantees to identify what their communities need and how they can best meet those needs. To date, VELA has awarded more than 1,600 grants totaling over $16.5 million to support non-traditional education models. Recipients reside in all 50 states as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Water quality issues in Abilene due to pump station activation, officials say
A "growing number of customer inquiries and complaints regarding an undesirable taste, odor and/or color in the city's tap water" can be explained by an intake pump station going online at Lake Fort Phantom Hill, Abilene's Water department head said.
Rodney Taylor, director of water utilities, said the station had been offline for several months due to construction activities.
It was turned on July 1 to begin taking water from the lake, he said.
"Regular operation of that pump will be necessary for the remainder of the summer due to high water demands," Taylor said, adding that complaints began within days after the pump being activated.
Abilene Environmental Laboratory Manager Mike Michaud confirmed the undesirable characteristics are associated with water taken from the lake/
"All of Abilene's tap water has been fully treated and disinfected in accordance with state and federal regulations, and regular testing is conducted to verify that the water meets or exceeds all water quality standards and is safe for human consumption," Taylor said in the city's statement.
Extremely hot weather is affecting lake water quality regarding taste, odor and color, which is more typical of late summer, he said. | https://www.reporternews.com/story/news/2022/07/13/water-issues-in-abilene-due-to-pump-station-activation-officials-say/65372784007/ | 2022-07-13T21:35:40Z | https://www.reporternews.com/story/news/2022/07/13/water-issues-in-abilene-due-to-pump-station-activation-officials-say/65372784007/ | false | 1 |

The Biden administration is warning pharmacies not to discriminate against women who may seek reproductive health prescriptions, including some that might be involved in ending a pregnancy.
The Department of Health and Human Services said Wednesday that pharmacies receiving federal money from programs such as Medicare and Medicaid cannot discriminate in how they supply medications or advise patients on prescriptions.
The agency noted that discrimination against people based on their pregnancy or related conditions would be a form of sex discrimination.
The announcement comes as the administration seeks to ensure reproductive health services for women following last month's Supreme Court decision that ended a constitutional right to abortion.
On Monday, the administration told hospitals that they "must" provide abortion services if the life of the mother is at risk. The government said federal law on emergency treatment guidelines preempts state laws in jurisdictions that now ban the procedure without any exceptions. Now, all states provide an exception for the life of the mother.
President Joe Biden also has signed an executive order to try to protect some access to the procedure, but he also has acknowledged that his administration is limited in what it can do. He noted earlier this month that an act of Congress would be required to restore nationwide access to abortion services, and he has urged Americans angered by the Supreme Court's ruling to vote in November.
Wednesday's actions, like those outlined Monday, do not reflect new policy. They aim to remind care providers of their existing obligations under federal law.
"We are committed to ensuring that everyone can access health care, free of discrimination," Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a statement. "This includes access to prescription medications for reproductive health and other types of care."
The department's guidance to pharmacies outlined several hypothetical examples of potential discrimination. They include a pharmacy that refuses to fill a prescription of mifepristone followed by misoprostol to help manage complications from a miscarriage after a pregnancy loss.
That combination of drugs also is commonly used in medication abortions.
A pharmacy that refuses to fill a prescription of misoprostol prescribed to help deal with severe stomach ulcer complications may be discriminating based on disability, HHS said. The agency noted that the pharmacy also may be discriminating if it refuses to stock the drug based on its alternate use.
HHS also cited as another example of potential discrimination: a pharmacy that refuses to fill a prescription for methotrexate to halt an ectopic pregnancy, which grows outside the womb and is not viable.
The federal agency said people who believe their rights have been violated should visit an online portal for the Office for Civil Rights to file a complaint. | https://www.startribune.com/pharmacies-cant-discriminate-on-reproductive-health-scripts/600189969/ | 2022-07-13T21:38:33Z | https://www.startribune.com/pharmacies-cant-discriminate-on-reproductive-health-scripts/600189969/ | true | 59 |

Boy, 7, dies from gunshot wound to head after leaving grandmother’s home
EAST CHICAGO, Ind. (WLS) - Police said a child died after being shot in the head while riding in the backseat of a vehicle.
Jeremiah Moore, 7, was on his way home from his grandmother’s house when he was shot early Tuesday morning in East Chicago, Indiana.
Police said shots were reported around 1:15 a.m., and Moore’s uncle Dameion Bey said those shots were fired at his brother’s family in the vehicle.
“Bullets were coming through the windows, four kids in the back were all trying to duck and take cover,” Bey said.
Following the gunshots, Bey said his brother looked back at little Jeremiah.
“They noticed that he was shot,” Bey said.
After seeking help at a nearby fire department, the family drove to a nearby hospital, where Moore died.
“He was seven years old. He didn’t deserve that,” Bey said. “They were ambushed and shot at.”
Police are now asking witnesses to come forward, as the family tries to cope with their enormous loss.
“This is one of their babies. You know, it’s nothing that you could do to replace his life,” Bey said. “They just want justice.”
Bey said Moore had attended a rally in Chicago protesting against gun violence last month.

Unit rents in Canberra were the most expensive at $550 a week, marking a 10 per cent year-on-year increase.

ROME (AP) — The head of Italy's 5-Star Movement said late Wednesday the party’s lawmakers won’t participate in a confidence vote in the upper chamber of Parliament, putting the stability of Premier Mario Draghi’s coalition government at risk.
Former Premier Giuseppe Conte announced the move in a late-night briefing with 5-Star lawmakers.
The vote on a series of measures to help Italians withstand the economic crisis is scheduled for Thursday in the Senate and is tied to a confidence motion. Such confidence motions on government-sponsored bills are designed to ensure allies close ranks, but Conte announced, “We won’t participate in the vote.”
The 5-Star Movement is a key coalition partner in Draghi’s government of national unity, formed with parties on the right, left and the populist 5-Star to help Italy recover from the coronavirus pandemic.
The 5-Star leadership has been complaining for weeks about government priorities, demanding more generous financial relief for families and businesses slammed by high energy costs and continued funding of a guaranteed monthly salary for those unable to find work.
Draghi has tried to respond, but he made clear this week that he wouldn't act on ultimatums.
It remains unclear if Draghi's government would still command a majority without 5-Star lawmakers, given so many have defected or been expelled since the movement first swept to national power in 2018 elections, when it became the biggest party in Parliament.
The center-right, which has done well in recent local and administrative elections and has been leading the polls, has said early elections would be the only solution if the 5-Star senators abstain from a confidence motion of their own government.
Conte insisted he still supported Draghi and would work to find solutions to the 5-Star demands. But, he added, “We have asked for a change in the exclusive interest of citizens.” | https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/Draghi-government-stability-at-risk-as-Italy-s-17303259.php | 2022-07-13T21:58:42Z | https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/Draghi-government-stability-at-risk-as-Italy-s-17303259.php | false | 11 |
Bruce Pearl, who was Jabari Smith Jr.’s head coach at Auburn University, joins Wednesday’s episode of The Lager Line podcast to break down the start to Smith’s young NBA career with the Houston Rockets.
Topics include reaction to Smith’s initial summer league games and how to best utilize him in Houston; what his potential fit alongside Jalen Green looks like; memories at Auburn and on the recruiting trail; early impressions of fellow rookies Tari Eason and TyTy Washington; and more.
“He is going to be a guy that coaches can point to with what time he gets in the locker room, and how he practices every single day,” Pearl said of his expectations for Smith with the Rockets. He continued:
He’s going to be incredibly consistent, and he’s not going to have highs and lows like a lot of rookies, because he’s not immature. He doesn’t have any distractions off the floor. You can coach him, and he wants to be coached hard.
So if Coach (Stephen Silas) wants to get after his No. 3 pick and get into him, that’s not going to bother Jabari one bit. But it sends a message that, ‘If I’m going to chew on this guy, I’m going to chew on your ass, as well.’
He’ll be able to set a really good standard. That’s one of the reasons why his teams win.
Wednesday’s complete episode can be listened to below. Each episode of the show is also made available via flagship radio station SportsTalk 790, as well as to all major podcast distributors under “The Lager Line.” | https://rocketswire.usatoday.com/2022/07/13/podcast-auburns-bruce-pearl-on-jabari-smith-jr-and-the-rockets/ | 2022-07-13T21:59:23Z | https://rocketswire.usatoday.com/2022/07/13/podcast-auburns-bruce-pearl-on-jabari-smith-jr-and-the-rockets/ | false | 1 |
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — A World Boxing Council championship belt belonging to former South African President Nelson Mandela has been stolen from a museum in Soweto, according to police.
The belt was given to Mandela by American boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard during one of his visits to South Africa.
It was one of many artifacts inside the Nelson Mandela National Museum, a major tourist attraction for local and international travelers.
Mandela, a former amateur boxer, revered the belt and it was prominently displayed in the museum in a house where he once lived in Soweto township, west of Johannesburg.
The museum is one of the top attractions on Vilakazi Street, the only street in the world to claim two Nobel laureates as former residents. Mandela and the late anti-apartheid stalwart Archbishop Desmond Tutu both lived on the street.
According to police, the belt was stolen when thieves broke into the museum, popularly referred to as Mandela House, and the theft was reported to police on July 1.
No suspects have been arrested and police have appealed for any information related to the theft, police spokeswoman Dimakatso Sello said.
Mandela became South Africa’s first democratically elected leader in 1994 after spending 27 years in prison for his battle against apartheid, the brutal system of white minority rule in effect in the country from 1948 to 1994. | https://www.wboy.com/news/world/boxing-champion-belt-given-to-mandela-stolen-in-south-africa/ | 2022-07-13T22:00:25Z | https://www.wboy.com/news/world/boxing-champion-belt-given-to-mandela-stolen-in-south-africa/ | true | 37 |
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Mike Trout has left the Los Angeles Angels’ game against Houston with upper back spasms.
The three-time AL MVP didn’t come out for the fifth inning Tuesday night after striking out in his first two plate appearances against Luis Garcia and the AL West-leading Astros.
Trout was selected earlier this month to appear in his 10th All-Star Game, to be held next Tuesday at Dodger Stadium.
Trout has been bothered by several minor injuries during the first half of the season. He went just 6 for 34 (.177) with one homer, four RBIs and 16 strikeouts while the Angels went 1-8 on their just-completed road trip.
Trout is hitting .270 this season with 24 homers and 51 RBIs.
Monte Harrison took over in center field for the Angels, who have plummeted out of contention by going 14-36 over the past eight weeks.

SHEFFIELD, England (AP) — Daniëlle van der Donk scored the winning goal as defending champion the Netherlands got its first win at the European Championship with a team reduced by illness and injury, beating Portugal 3-2 on Wednesday.
Coming off an opening draw with Sweden, the Netherlands was without Vivianne Miedema after the star forward tested positive for the coronavirus. Three other players are either in isolation or injured.
Early on against Portugal, it didn’t seem to matter.
The Dutch team surged into an 2-0 lead inside 16 minutes thanks to headers by Damaris Egurrola and Stefanie van der Gragt, both scored from corners as Portugal failed to cope with the Netherlands at set pieces. Van der Gragt paid a price for her goal as she was struck in the face by an opponent’s boot as she dived to head the ball.
Portugal found a way back into the game when Dutch defender Dominique Janssen tripped Diana Silva and gave away a penalty converted in the 38th minute by Carole Costa. It was Silva’s turn to score the second two minutes after the break with a near-post header.
The Netherlands claimed a third goal by Jill Roord soon after but it was ruled out after a video review taking several minutes, only for van der Donk to restore the Dutch lead with a curling shot into the top-right corner.
There were signs of relief at a win which leaves the Netherlands level with Sweden on four points at the top of Group C with one game to play. Still, the Netherlands had been widely expected to win more convincingly against Portugal, the second-lowest ranked team in the tournament, which is playing as a replacement for suspended Russia.
Earlier, Sweden also claimed its first win as Hanna Bennison came off the bench to score with a thunderous shot in a 2-1 win against a Switzerland team also affected by illness.
The determined and well-organized Swiss defense kept Sweden at bay until the 52nd minute, when Fridolina Rolfö finished off a slick Swedish team move through the center. Switzerland responded immediately with a curling shot from Ramona Bachmann for the equalizer after Swedish goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl gave away the ball.
Bennison scored the winning goal in the 79th with a powerful shot from just outside the penalty area. Sweden twice had the ball in the net late on but was offside both times.
Switzerland’s preparations for the game were disrupted when eight players and 11 members of staff had to be isolated from the rest of the team on Sunday night and early Monday morning as a gastrointestinal illness swept through the team camp.
Monday’s training session was canceled but coach Nils Nielsen was able to field a nearly unchanged starting lineup, with only one affected player, defender Rahel Kiwic, moving to the bench.

Recent Stanley Cup winners spent the first day of NHL free agency re-signing key players to long-term contracts.
The reigning champion Colorado Avalanche brought back big defender Josh Manson and signed versatile winger Artturi Lehkonen. The team they beat in the final, the Tampa Bay Lightning, extended center Anthony Cirelli and defensemen Mikhail Sergachev and Erik Cernak for eight years each. The St. Louis Blues kept blue liner Nick Leddy around for four more years and extended talented forward Robert Thomas through 2031.
Manson got $18 million in a four-year deal that counts $4.5 million against the salary cap. Lehkonen, who was a restricted free agent, got the same terms.
Acquiring Manson and Lehkonen at the deadline were a couple of the moves that helped Colorado win the Cup for the first time since 2001.
Manson, a 6-foot-3, 218-pound defensemen who turns 31 before opening night, provided some toughness for the high-scoring Avalanche and he had eight points to go along with some key hits in 20 playoff games. Lehkonen scored the Cup-clinching goal in Game 6 against the Lightning and also scored to put Colorado into the final.
Tampa Bay, which had won the past two NHL titles, signed Sergachev for $68 million, Cirelli for $50 million and Cernak for $41.6 million, all through 2031. General manager Julien BriseBois said they were his priority when he traded veteran Ryan McDonagh to Nashville earlier this month.
St. Louis, which won the Cup in 2019 and has remade its blue line since, re-signed Leddy for $16 million over four years. The Blues got Leddy from Detroit at the deadline and plugged him into a unit that has gotten faster and more skilled since bruising to a championship three years ago.
The Blues signed Thomas, who just turned 23, to a $65 million contract extension that carries an $8.125 million cap hit.
MORE LIGHTNING MOVES
The Eastern Conference champions also added defenseman Ian Cole and brought back winger Vladislav Namestnikov on one-year contracts. Cole signed for $3 million and Namestnikov $2.5 million.
Along with Philippe Myers, Cole should help fill the void left by the McDonagh trade and expected departure of Jan Rutta. The veteran left-shot defender won the Stanley Cup with Pittsburgh in 2016 and ’17 and played last year with the Carolina Hurricanes.
Namestnikov has bounced around the league with five different teams since his first stint with Tampa Bay. He was with the Lightning when they reached the Cup Final in 2015.
MARCHMENT MOURNS, SIGNS
Mason Marchment signed with the Dallas Stars with a heavy heart one week after dad Bryan died unexpectedly at age 53 while attending the NHL draft as a scout for the San Jose Sharks.
“It’s definitely been a whirlwind,” he said on TSN in Canada. “I’ve never felt emotion like that. But definitely going to a place like Dallas where I know the coaches there and I know what they want from me, I’m just so excited to go and start a new chapter in Dallas.”
Marchment was close to signing with the Carolina Hurricanes before getting $18 million over four years from Dallas. He said familiarity with family friend and assistant coach Steve Spott and some Stars players helped him make his decison.
“Just (wanted) to be around some familiar faces going through this tough time,” Marchment said. “It kind of just felt right.”

DEBRECEN, Hungary - Taija Sta Marie poured in five three-pointers in a 17-point performance to lead Canada to a 70-36 victory over New Zealand on Wednesday, and into the quarterfinals of the U17 FIBA women's World Cup.
Cassandre Prosper added eight points, nine rebounds, two assists, four steals and three blocks for the Canadians, who face host Hungary on Friday.
"Our team is feeling very confident and like we're moving in the right direction going into the playoffs," said Sta Marie, who had all of her threes in the first half. "I'm super proud of everyone. Everyone stepped up today and did what they had to do and it ended off with a great team win for us.
"We're all feeling really connected and motivated and we're determined. We’re ready to move on to the next game and finish what we started here at the World Cup."
Every Canadian saw time on the floor, and 11 players scored in the win. Canada forced New Zealand into 36 turnovers, and had 27 steals in the game compared to just three for the Kiwis. The Canadians had a 43-9 advantage in points scored off turnovers.

The Blackhawks entered the first day of NHL free agency Wednesday needing several experienced forwards to fill out their roster.
They did just that by signing three middle-aged, middle-of-the-road guys in Max Domi, Andreas Athanasiou and Colin Blackwell.
Domi and Athanasiou, both wingers, inked identical one-year contracts with $3 million salary-cap hits. Blackwell, a center, signed for two years at $1.2 million per year.
The three of them promptly became the fourth-, fifth- and sixth-highest paid forwards on the Hawks’ books, but they likely won’t be in Chicago for long. It wouldn’t be surprising to see general manager Kyle Davidson try to flip them to contenders for assets at the trade deadline as the Hawks long-term rebuild continues.
Domi, 27, recorded 39 points in 72 games for the Blue Jackets and Hurricanes last season. The son of former NHL enforcer Tie Domi, he has never quite lived up to his draft position (12th overall in 2013) or his 2018-19 breakout season in Montreal (72 points), but he remains a solid middle-six winger.
His fiery competitiveness is his most well-known trait, although he does have some playmaking skill. It’ll be interesting to see him on the same team as Connor Murphy, whom he attacked in a bizarre 2021 in-game incident in Columbus.
Athanasiou, also 27, recorded 40 points in 75 games for the Kings over the last two seasons, missing a large chunk of 2021-22 with an injury. He, too, enjoyed his best career season in 2018-19, when he hit the 30-goal milestone with the Red Wings.
His burning speed is his most well-known trait, checking off the other box — in addition to competitiveness —that Davidson has frequently mentioned as priorities in player evaluation. He’s arguably one of the five fastest players in the NHL.
Blackwell, 29, tallied 20 points in 58 games last season for the Kraken and Maple Leafs, switching teams as part of the blockbuster Mark Giordano trade. A late bloomer who didn’t break into the NHL until 2019, he’s decent on faceoffs —his career faceoff rate is exactly 50% — and experienced with penalty-killing.
On the goaltending side, the Hawks signed Alex Stalock to a one-year contract with $750,000 cap hit. It’s unclear if he’ll enter next season as the backup to Petr Mrazek or if another goalie addition is incoming.
Stalock, 34, struggled mightily last season, posting an .869 save percentage in 17 AHL appearances and .786 save percentage in one NHL game for the Sharks, after missing the 2021 season with myocarditis. He’d previously been a solid backup, going 36-29-11 with a .908 save percentage for the Wild from 2017 to 2020.
The Hawks also inked minor-league forwards Luke Philp and Brett Seney to one-year, two-way contracts worth $750,000 each.
Philp and Seney each scored more than 40 points in the AHL last year and will help support Hawks prospects with the Rockford IceHogs. Seney, with 55 games of previous NHL experience, could be an injury-related call-up if necessary.
Elsewhere around the NHL, Dominik Kubalik signed a two-year contract with the Red Wings at $2.5 million per year —significantly less than the $4 million qualifying offer the Hawks would’ve had to give him to retain his rights.
Collin Delia and Wyatt Kalynuk both signed with the Canucks, and Erik Gustafsson and Henrik Borgstrom both landed on the Capitals. Dylan Strome, Calvin de Haan and Kevin Lankinen haven’t yet found new teams.
Wednesday’s moves leave the Hawks with an estimated $10.6 million in remaining salary cap space with restricted free agents Philipp Kurashev and Caleb Jones left to re-sign.
The Hawks have considered taking on another team’s bad contract to receive a “sweetener” asset, and that remains a possibility even though the Flyers —previously seen as the best match — declared themselves finished for the summer. | https://chicago.suntimes.com/blackhawks/2022/7/13/23207027/blackhawks-max-domi-andreas-athanasiou-colin-blackwell-alex-stalock-nhl-free-agency-contracts | 2022-07-13T22:10:23Z | https://chicago.suntimes.com/blackhawks/2022/7/13/23207027/blackhawks-max-domi-andreas-athanasiou-colin-blackwell-alex-stalock-nhl-free-agency-contracts | false | 1 |

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) — A Florida woman interrupted an uninvited guest in her bathroom on Saturday night.
Michelle Reynolds told WSVN that she went downstairs to make herself a snack. After putting her popcorn in the microwave she went to use the bathroom and “opened the door and did a quick turnaround because I saw this thing in there and quickly shut the door!” she said.
The thing? An iguana.
The reptile was unable to find its way out the commode so Reynolds had to enlist Harold Rondon of Iguana Lifestyles, a wildlife removal service, to rescue the little fella.
Rondon said he has removed several iguanas from South Florida properties this year already.
“This is the second one this week already,” he said.
Rondon said he removed a Mexican spiny tail iguana from Reynolds’ toilet.
Males can get up to 18 inches long, with tails that can also get up to 18 inches long, he said.
“He took up most of the toilet bowl,” Reynolds said.
Although they are not native, iguanas have become common in South Florida, WSVN reports.
It is believed that they were brought to the area as pets in the 1960s, and some may have escaped or been released.
While they are not dangerous to people, some iguanas can transmit salmonella. | https://www.wsav.com/whatstrending/florida-woman-surprised-by-uninvited-iguana-in-her-toilet/ | 2022-07-13T22:14:37Z | https://www.wsav.com/whatstrending/florida-woman-surprised-by-uninvited-iguana-in-her-toilet/ | true | 58 |
Anne Applebaum wrote an essay on The Atlantic discussing how Russian atrocities in Ukraine could be classified and explored from the West’s point of view. While the frontline fight for territory is ongoing in Ukraine’s east, Russia continues attacking other areas of the country. Applebaum cites the definition of terrorism from the U.S criminal code – an intimidation campaign using violence – claiming that what Russia does in Ukraine is nothing but terrorism. Applebaum traveled to Serhiivka, a small town in the southwest of Ukraine, heavily shelled with imprecise missiles on July 1st by the Russian planes. The town had no strategic assets, and the nearest military installation was 5 km away. Serhiivka, Kremenenchuk, Kharkiv, and many more places in Ukraine have suffered assaults that have nothing to do with pursuing traditional war aims. Applebaum writes that this bombing campaign seeks several goals: to persuade people to leave and become a potential political problem for neighboring ally countries, weaken Ukraine economically, and prevent people from ever returning. The Russian bombs are also targeting the whole system of international law governing war crimes, human rights, and terrorism – demonstrating their contempt to international institutions. The author goes further, writing that Russian forces are also attacking the values behind these institutions - compassion, the importance of human lives, a sense of shared humanity, and others. Therefore, it is crucial to officially recognize Russia as a terrorist state, despite all the legal severe, economic, and geopolitical consequences.
The Wall Street Journal columnist Jillian Kay Melchior writes about the current balance of weapons on the Ukrainian frontline. Melchior talked to Mason Clark, a senior analyst at the Institute for Study of War, who says that artillery became the decisive factor in this phase due to changes in Russian tactics. Russia has learned its’ lessons from the first phase of the war and now switched to a different tactic – hiding its men behind the dreadful artillery. According to experts, Russia has at least ten times as many artillery and missile systems as Ukraine, and those systems are capable of attacking any targets in Ukraine. On the other hand, Ukraine is restricted in the range of attacks due to conditions set by its Western allies. The support is arriving, but it’s arriving slowly and not in the amounts requested by Ukraine. Another problem is ammunition: Melchior’s source in the U.S Senate told her that the first four HIMARS delivered to Ukraine had less than 20 missiles per launcher, which constrains the number of targets Ukraine could hit. The West has been too slow, and each day of continuing artillery disparity has a very high price, concludes the op-ed.
The Washington Post writes about Nikolai Patrushev - the man with Putin’s ear who might want his job. Patrushev is one of the closest to Putin’s advisers and holds the position of Security Council secretary, equivalent to the U.S national security adviser. While Patrushev has been behind the scenes “power-broker” for over two decades, he has become much more visible following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, writes the outlet. As the rumors about Putin’s health problems are ongoing and he avoids travel or public appearances, Patrushev is “crisscrossing the former Soviet Union” and gaining even more influence. His lengthy interviews and recent trips demonstrate he is the one eligible to interpret and explain Putin’s thoughts. According to an anonymous source close to both Putin and Patrushev, the latter is “a hard-drinking, hard-talking “silovik,” who understands the world as if the Soviet Union still existed.” According to the source, it even might be the case that Patrushev has sought both to make sure Putin stayed in power and to control him. | https://babel.ua/en/news/81440-how-the-international-media-covered-the-russo-ukrainian-war-july-13 | 2022-07-13T22:16:43Z | https://babel.ua/en/news/81440-how-the-international-media-covered-the-russo-ukrainian-war-july-13 | true | 1 |
A look at how Titano wants to build and grow during the crypto bear market.
A week is a long time in Crypto, and the last three months, in particular, have felt like a lifetime in the DeFi space. In November 2021, the total market value of Crypto assets was approximately $3 Trillion. Today, that figure hovers around the $1 Trillion mark. Some of the biggest names in the business have seen a spectacular fall from grace, and a large chunk of the DeFi space has disappeared entirely. With institutional and retail confidence at an all-time low, companies everywhere are cutting back on investment, staff, advertising and general overheads. Many are going into forced hibernation, hoping to survive the crypto winter and incoming economic depression by doing as little as possible.
One company, however, looks to buck the trend. Titano Finance is a DeFi project that launched on the Binance Smart Chain in November 2021, just as the market reached its all-time high. With its groundbreaking auto-staking protocol, that allowed investors to earn rewards just by holding tokens, Titano quickly rose to prominence in the DeFi space. By April 2022, Titano Finance reportedly had a market cap of $250 million, 80 thousand holders and over 130 copycat projects, also known as 'forks' in the space.
In the last couple of months, Titano has not been immune to the market downturn, and the price of Titano has taken a significant hit in line with many other crypto tokens. However, the team reports that it is buoyant and committed to building and innovating through the bear market. But how are they able to do this?
Well, the Titano team says they have managed the macro-economic storm exceptionally well. They believe that it is due, in part, to the clever design of the Titano token protocol where buy and sell taxes contribute to a treasury and risk-free-value (RFV) fund. These funds reportedly grew dramatically in the bullish first quarter of the year. Additionally, the company says that its strategic spending and clever asset allocation means that it now has a sizeable war chest to see them through this market downturn.
But beyond this, the Titano team says that it has made some bold moves to pivot and launch a series of use cases that altered the project forever and continues to increase its stability and sustainability. These use cases focus on creating additional revenue, causing token deflation and bringing in new Titano holders. At the center of it all, is the launch of Titano’s own decentralized exchange SWYCH.
Having a DEX gives Titano greater control over fees, as well as creating the opportunity for onboarding other projects and increasing revenue in a multitude of ways. Then, there was the relaunch of Titano P.L.A.Y. This encourages wallet holders to lock up their Titano tokens for a short period with the excitement of earning even greater rewards. The third internal innovation was the new Titano Lottery. Similar to Titano Play, this is a daily drawing that allows users to sacrifice their Titano tokens to buy tickets that could potentially win a share of a significant grand prize.
Titano hasn't stopped at these internally driven additions. In May, Titano Finance announced a partnership with BetSwirl. This crypto gambling platform has reportedly already helped to integrate two new games of chance into the Titano Finance eco-system and plans to assist Titano in developing more games in the future.
In June, the Titano team announced another key partnership. This time, with Liquid Capital Finance, a brand new project made up of DeFi successful industry veterans. This partnership plans to connect Titano to a circle of trust consisting of over 30 project partners from DeFi and all over crypto. The Circle of Trusted partners is an industry first that will continue to grow, and wants to bring many benefits to all involved, including a new launchpad to enable projects to launch on SWYCH DEX, co-development of a DeFi educational platform, co-marketing, co-development, and much more.
Today, the Titano Finance community is as optimistic as ever. Despite bearish macro-market conditions, Titano says it continues to change, adapt and grow. There are still 80 thousand wallet holders, but now there are also multiple use cases for the Titano token and many more planned. The company says that the new partnerships have already shown considerable value. The gaming utility has already provided a deflationary effect to the tokenomics, and the Liquid Capital alliance should bring many more initiatives, greater visibility and sustained growth in the coming days.
The Titano Team has demonstrated their commitment to innovate and build through this bear market, and it is this level of tenacity and effort that makes them hope for continued success in the months and years ahead.
