Manchester United have held discussions over a move for Paris Saint-Germain’s Achraf Hakimi as Erik ten Hag looks to bring in a new right-back this summer, according to Football Transfers via TeamTalk.
The Morocco international joined Les Parisiens last summer for a fee of £60 million (€71m) from Inter Milan and he helped PSG win the Ligue 1 title last season.
Man Utd are expected to sign a new right-back this summer and Football Transfers claims Hakimi has emerged as a potential target. The source says United chiefs have held discussions about a possible move and Erik ten Hag “really likes” the player.
However, the only potential issue could be his price as Hakimi is valued at around £58m (source: transfermarkt) so any move for the 23-year-old wouldn’t be cheap.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been tipped to leave Old Trafford this summer. There have been concerns about his attacking output and ten Hag is looking at other options that could fit into his system. However, the Englishman’s hefty salary and the length of his contract are major obstacles between him staying and leaving. Wan-Bissaka’s contract with United expires in 2024.
Hakimi appears to be on Man Utd’s radar as a potential replacement but with the PSG star expensive, Football Transfers says Inter’s Denzel Dumfries and Southampton’s Kyle Walker-Peters are also on ten Hag’s list.
The Red Devils are finally getting a move on in the summer market. Tyrell Malacia completed his move to Old Trafford earlier this month. And since then Manchester United have signed Christian Eriksen (free transfer) while a deal is in place for Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez.
Our View
Erik ten Hag is not done with his signings yet. Out of the big six, United have had the worst summer window. Now that they are making some significant progress, they need to keep building some momentum.
There is no doubt that Hakimi would provide a significant boost to this current Manchester United setup. He is solid in defence and is a smart operator moving forward with the ball. It is no secret why ten Hag likes him because he could fit right into his attacking brand of football.
However, Hakimi is too far a dream even for the Red Devils. The 23-year-old is an integral part of PSG’s team and he’s highly unlikely to give up UEFA Champions League football play in the Europa League with United. | https://football-talk.co.uk/172564/man-utd-identify-psg-star-achraf-hakimi-as-target/ | 2022-07-18T20:33:42Z | https://football-talk.co.uk/172564/man-utd-identify-psg-star-achraf-hakimi-as-target/ | true | 1 |

CUSTOMERS ARE PROVING TO MAKE STILLY THE SIGNATURE COCKTAIL OF SUMMER 2022
STILLWATER, Minn., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- STILLY, the new brand of ready-to-drink cocktails in a can that was released to liquor stores across Minnesota earlier this month, is already making a big splash among consumers.
STILLY beverages are NOT seltzers, and they're not your ordinary cocktails in a can; they're an all-new category of unique adult beverages called a "stilly." A "stilly" is a light and refreshing cocktail made with premium vodka or other distilled spirits, fine bubbles, a squeeze of natural juices, and natural flavors. The exact ingredients and processes used to make a "stilly" are a closely guarded secret, but consumers are proving to love the taste of this unique and naturally refreshing beverage.
STILLY branded beverages hit liquor stores throughout Minnesota days before the 4th of July holiday. A little over two weeks later, consumers can find them in over 300 liquor stores across Minnesota. New stores are being added daily.
"We have been overwhelmed by the demand and could not be more excited for what's ahead," said Nick Barthelemy, CEO and Co-founder of STILLY SPIRITS, LLC., based out of Stillwater, MN. "We are already selling through supply into late summer and fall. We are thrilled people love our product as much as we do."
The company introduced three distinctly delicious flavors of the "vodka stilly" in a variety pack (6 cans/3 flavors) of 12 oz slim cans for $14.99. The three varieties available now include "Partymaker+" (cranberry lime), "Vibe Machine" (grapefruit), and "The Fuzz" (peach). More flavors will hit the market soon.
"We rarely see a launch this successful. Customers are buying out the product within days of it reaching stores," said Keith Donovan, general sales manager for Bellboy Corporation, the distributor of STILLY branded beverages. "We pre-sold the entire first run before it even hit the production line, and the demand from our customers continues to grow with every person who tastes it."
What started as an idea less than a year ago, with the support of family and friends, has turned into not only a new product line but a lifestyle brand. "We all live for the enjoyable moments in life. So we want to inspire people to take a moment, crack a STILLY and a smile, relax, have fun, and enjoy the STILLY Life, all while making memories together," said Barthelemy.
Later this summer, the company will launch a line of merchandise, including hats, T-shirts, coolers, golf accessories, boat flags, etc., to be sold on Stilly.com.

When Jackie Middleditch started to experience confusion, mobility problems, and incontinence in her mid-60s, her family thought they were losing her to dementia. And with no cure available, the future looked bleak.
Amazingly, today Jackie, 70, is back to her old self – her mental agility is restored and her wheelchair put away – after it was discovered she was actually suffering from a curable disease that only mimics the symptoms of dementia.
Former children’s worker Jackie says: “My husband Clive and I had both retired by the time I first became ill, in 2016.
"My initial symptoms appeared on a holiday, when I began feeling dizzy and experienced balance problems. Soon I was also getting mental confusion, short-term memory loss and fatigue.
“Over the next months I developed bladder issues and had accidents when I couldn’t get to the toilet in time.
"It was distressing and frustrating. But actually, because of my mental confusion, I now have very few memories from that time. My main recollection is just feeling bone-achingly tired.”
Because of the combination of her age and symptoms, Jackie’s GP and entire family – including daughter Suzanne, 42, son Thomas, 39, and a close relative who’s a nurse – assumed it was signs of early dementia.
Clive, 71, a former head teacher, says: “Jackie went to our GP at least eight or nine times over five years and was referred to a number of specialists, but she was always too confused to explain herself properly.
“Our family doctor never questioned why she was experiencing memory loss, confusion, mobility problems and bladder problems, assuming they were inevitable parts of the ageing process.
“She saw various specialists during that period, but each time only one symptom was addressed in isolation.
"For example, she saw a knee specialist about her mobility problems who told her she needed a knee replacement. She went into hospital for the op twice, but each time it was cancelled because her blood pressure was low.”
By 2021, Jackie was so weak and fatigued she was struggling to get out of bed and wanted to sleep all day.
“We’d always looked after our two grandkids – George, who’s seven, and two-year-old Ivy – one day a week,” says Clive.
“Now Jackie could no longer do that. We used to love hiking, but she developed an odd, shuffling walk which our doctor called ‘glue feet’. She needed a wheelchair if we went out.
“Things felt hopeless. Everyone knows dementia only gets worse and worse, so the future was looking grim.”
Everything changed later in 2021 after Jackie, from Lowestoft, Suffolk, had a fall and went to hospital. A doctor ordered a blood test and MRI, which revealed fluid on her brain.
After a lumbar puncture, she showed a brief but fairly dramatic improvement, with less confusion and faster movement, and a doctor told Clive: “Your wife doesn’t have dementia. I think she has something called NPH, or normal pressure hydrocephalus, which could potentially be cured by surgery.”
Clive says: “By then, Jackie was too confused to understand what was going on but I was ecstatic. I had a chance to get my beloved wife back.”
Normal pressure hydrocephalus is a condition where fluid builds up around the brain, primarily in people in their 60s and 70s.
The three main symptoms are confusion, urinary incontinence and mobility issues – including shuffling and a wide-based gait.

Because Jackie wasn’t walking properly, it was exacerbating the pain in her knee, caused by arthritis.
The number of NPH patients in the UK is unknown, but the US-based Hydrocephalus Association estimates nearly 700,000 Americans suffer from it. And experts believe only 20per cent of patients are diagnosed.
By a fluke, nearby Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge was launching a groundbreaking clinic to treat NPH.
Patients undergo memory and walking tests to establish if they have it and if surgery will help. If so, they have a brain MRI and lumbar infusion study to calculate the resistance of cerebrospinal fluid leaving the brain.
In August 2021, Jackie had surgery at Addenbrooke’s to install a shunt – a long, thin tube that drains the excess cerebrospinal fluid from around her brain into her abdomen.
Doctors said without the operation, her condition would have continued to worsen and could have been life-threatening.
“Three weeks after the operation, Jackie was sitting in a chair and suddenly stood up,” Clive says. “Before then, she’d needed a riser to push her out of the chair.
“As her mobility returned, we were able to return to our shared hobbies of walking and gardening together.
"Over the next weeks her memory and thinking ability returned. Soon we were doing crosswords together again. It felt marvellous. Our grandson George, says, ‘Nanny used to sit down all the time, now she can play hide and seek with me’.”
Jackie is now revelling in her return to health and has been discharged by the hospital, except for a yearly review. And because she is no longer shuffling when she walks, her knee issue has improved.
“Once it seemed I had nothing to look forward to, other than a slow decline,” she says. “Today I’m cured. Miraculous is the only word to describe it.
“I’ve got my life back – but it does make us wonder how many older people, thought to be on a remorseless downhill slide, could in fact be saved.”

Vicky Pattison held back the tears as she told TV viewers about her new documentary Vicky Pattison: My Dad, Alcohol, and Me.
The Geordie Shore star, 34, appeared on The One Show tonight and gave a revealing interview in which she discussed her relationship with alcohol and her dad, as well her dad’s own struggles with addiction.
She told hosts Alex Scott and Ronan Keating about how making the documentary was a tough but positive process to go through.
‘I think when you’re opening up and being really vulnerable, you have to be in a really strong place mentally, and over the years I haven’t been’, she said.
She continued: ‘I’ve had my own demons, a complicated relationship with alcohol – [I didn’t have] a very grounded personal life.’
When asked about her relationship with her dad, Vicky continued to be honest and was comforted by fellow guest Carol Kirkwood as she held back tears.
‘I’m 35 this year. That was exactly when my dad started to lose his battle with his addiction. I was terrified,’ she admitted.
‘I couldn’t get it out of my mind that this year it was all going to unravel, no matter how I tried – no matter how many yoga retreats or sober Octobers I did, I was going to end up the same.’
She battled through her emotions, however, and said that her support system and the lessons she’s learned will keep her going.
‘Now [I’ve got] a lovely fella, a great dog, a great support system. It felt like I was strong enough to talk about these things.’
She added: ‘I have one thing on my side. I have an awareness of what could happen. I do want a life filled with different things.’
During her appearance, a clip from the Channel 4 documentary was shown, during which Vicky asked her mum how it felt to see her drinking on Geordie Shore.
When The One Show returned to Vicky, she said that it hadn’t been easy to have those kinds of conversations with her family.
She explained: ‘I don’t think it’s ever easy to have seriously open conversations, that are going to be potentially difficult, with the people that you love. Having to give my dad tough love was really difficult.’
She continued: ‘[My dad] had a hard enough live as it is – he doesn’t need me giving him a hard time about [alcohol]. But I’ve learned, sometimes tough love is the only way.’
The One Show airs weeknights at 7pm on BBC One.

CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (WBOY) — Wild and Wonderful West Virginia is a great place to see wildlife, but there are certain ways to handle wild animals that everyone from nature enthusiasts to city slickers should be aware of. In general, the best thing to do if you run into wild animals is to leave them alone, but there are some instances when interacting with them is necessary, for either your safety or theirs.
Snakes
West Virginia only has two species of snakes that you need to worry about, although the other ones can still bite. In general, the best thing to do if you see a snake is to just leave it alone. Make sure you do not get within striking distance of a copperhead or rattlesnake.
If you are bitten by a copperhead or rattlesnake, the National Park Service recommends the following steps:
- Get away from the snake. Rattlesnakes and copperheads can strike at a distance equal to about half their body length and can bite more than once. Do not attempt to kill or capture the snake.
- Stay calm; don’t panic.
- Look for signs of envenomation: severe burning pain at the site of the bite, swelling beginning within about five minutes of getting bit and progressing up the limb, discoloration and blood-filled blisters developing in 6 to 48 hours. In at least 25% of bites, no venom is injected.
- If there are immediate symptoms, get help immediately.
- Send someone for help; Call 911.
- Try to keep the affected limb lowered below the victim’s heart.
- Keep the victim as quiet and calm as possible; activity can increase venom absorption.
- Seek medical help even if there is no immediate reaction. All bites can cause infection and should be treated by a physician.
- DO NOT use a tourniquet, which can cause severe damage if it’s wound too tight.
- DO NOT use cold or ice; it does not inactivate the venom and can lead to frostbite.
- DO NOT attempt to cut the bite or suck out the venom; cutting can damage blood vessels and nerves.
- DO NOT consume alcoholic beverages, which can dilate vessels and compound shock.
If you need to move a snake that is in your home, Wildlife Help offers advice here.
Box turtles
Box turtles are one wild animal that most people are excited to see. Because box turtles move so slowly, it is common to find them in the middle of the road. If you do go to rescue a box turtle from being hit by a car, there are some very specific steps you need to follow so that the turtle can safely continue on his or her way.
- Support under the turtle when you lift it. A turtle’s shell is part of its body, so if you pick it up by its sides, it’s the equivalent of being picked up by only the skin on your back. Instead, make sure to support under the turtle’s belly. You should pick up the turtle the same way you would pick up a big hamburger or sandwich: fingers supporting underneath and thumbs resting gently on top of the shell.
- Put the turtle down facing the same direction as when you picked them up. Box turtles don’t have the best sense of direction; so if you put them down facing back toward the road or in a different direction than they were originally going, they will probably get lost. If that turtle was on its way to a food or water source, it could never make it there if you don’t point it in the right direction.
Whenever you are rescuing a box turtle, make sure that you put your safety first; never stop by the side of the road or walk into the road if you cannot safely do so.
Also, remember that you should never keep a box turtle as a pet. It is illegal to keep most native reptiles and amphibians as pets, including eastern box turtles.
Snapping turtles
Unless you have to help a snapping turtle, these are one of the species you might want to just leave alone. Unlike box turtles, snapping turtles will bite and can really hurt you. If you find one of these in the road, after you can safely stop, try to push the turtle out of the road from behind with a blunt object.
According to the Mon River Trails Conservancy, if you don’t see a real-life snapping turtle, you might also be able to find remains of snapping turtle nests in areas in north central West Virginia like the Mon River Trails. According to the conservancy, snapping turtles lay eggs in trailside ballast and hatchlings will emerge 55-125 days later unless the eggs are predated which happens to most nests.
Deer
Encountering deer, in general, is a pretty common happening in West Virginia. However, the real confusion can come if your car sees the deer before you do. If you do hit a deer with your vehicle, here are steps you should take, according to Wildlife Help.
- Pull over in a safe location and turn on your hazard lights.
- Call for emergency services if your vehicle is damaged too badly to drive.
- Stay away from the deer. If it is still alive it will be frightened and confused and you could be injured.
- Notify the police if the deer or your vehicle are in locations that might endanger other drivers.
- When in doubt, call 911 or ask responders for information and advice.
Black bears
The recent black bear population is on the rise, which means you’re more likely to see one. According to the West Virginia Extention office, in 1970, black bears could only regularly be found in 10 counties and the estimated population was less than 500. In the last 50 years, many positive steps allowed the healthy growth of West Virginia’s bear population.
According to the West Virginia Department of Commerce, there are the steps you should take if you encounter a bear:
- Remain calm.
- DON’T approach a bear.
- DON’T run from a bear.
- DON’T climb trees to escape a bear.
- Give the bear a clear escape route.
- Quietly back away and leave the area.
- If attacked, immediately fight back.
The National Park Service said that you should never play dead if a black bear attacks. Direct punches and kicks at the bear’s face, and use any weapon like rocks, branches, or bear spray to defend yourself.
Make sure you never feed black bears.
Spiders
There are only two types of venomous spiders in West Virginia that can seriously harm people. Black widows and brown recluses are both very small and can be deadly, especially to small children. If you are bitten by one of these spiders, you should seek medical attention.
Black widows are native to West Virginia and are easily recognizable from the red hourglass shape on their abdomen. They are not aggressive and rarely bite humans. Brown recluse spiders are not native to West Virginia but could be found in some southwestern counties.
For the most part, as long as you leave spiders alone, they will not attack you. While there are other species of spiders that look scary, like the much larger fishing spider, bites from other spiders can be treated by washing the area, applying an ice pack and taking ibuprofen.
Ticks
No one wants to think about it, but if you are spending any time outside, especially around woods or tall plants, you are probably more likely to encounter a tick than anything else. The most common tick in West Virginia is an American dog tick, which can carry Lyme disease. Deer ticks and lone star ticks are also native, according to the WVU Extention office.
Using bug spray can help prevent ticks, but if you’re spending time outside, you should check for ticks regularly. If you find a tick that is already attached, the CDC recommends removing the tick with tweezers by pulling upward with steady pressure. Make sure to remove the mouth part of the tick, and then clean the affected area with alcohol. Do not crush the tick, and dispose of it by flushing it down the toilet. | https://www.dcnewsnow.com/news/local-news/west-virginia/what-to-do-when-you-encounter-these-west-virginia-wildlife/ | 2022-07-18T20:44:52Z | https://www.dcnewsnow.com/news/local-news/west-virginia/what-to-do-when-you-encounter-these-west-virginia-wildlife/ | false | 6 |

Several shark sightings in Cape Cod and Long Island prompt beach closures
By Artemis Moshtaghian and Benjamin Schiller, CNN
Multiple shark sightings off the coast of Cape Cod in Massachusetts and Long Island in New York prompted local authorities to close at least three beaches to the public Sunday.
At Long Island’s Lido Beach, people were told to get out of the water after a lifeguard spotted a 5-to-7-foot-long shark about 25 yards off the coast Sunday morning, Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin told CNN.
Both Lido Beach and nearby Jones Beach were immediately closed to the public, he said.
To the northeast, Cape Cod’s Nauset Beach was also temporarily closed to public swimming Sunday after a confirmed white shark sighting, according to the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy’s Sharktivity app, which tracks shark sightings.
More than a dozen shark sightings and detections were reported off the coast of Cape Cod between Saturday and Sunday via the Sharktivity app. Most of the sightings were near Nauset Beach and Chatham Harbor and the majority of confirmed sightings reported that the sharks were at least 50 yards to a quarter of a mile off the beach, according to the app.
So far this month, at least four people have been injured in suspected shark attacks off Long Island beaches, CNN previously reported. The attacks prompted officials to warn swimmers to be careful and take precautions.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Monday the state would enhance shark monitoring with new beach patrols, drones and helicopters. Lifeguard staffing would also be increased by 25%, according to a release.
In addition to surveillance, the state will also work with federal agencies on tracking schools of sharks to provide early notifications to beaches, Hochul said during a news conference.
“We are telling people that if they are swimming, they need to swim in lifeguard areas. They should only go waist deep and that they should be aware of their surroundings,” Ocean Beach fire department chief Ian Levine told CNN last week.
Several beaches were temporarily closed following the attacks on Long Island, including Smith Point County Park beach, which was closed twice; the first closure followed a July 3 attack in which a shark bit a lifeguard on his chest and hand during a training exercise and the second came after a shark knocked a surfer into the water Wednesday and bit his leg, according to Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone.
After those attacks, Bellone cautioned that shark encounters may become more frequent as the creatures venture closer to shore.
“I think it is an indication, however, that what we’re looking at is something of a new normal in that the sharks are — these Tiger sharks are just a little bit closer to shore than they’ve been,” he said. “They’ve always been out there, of course, you’re interacting with marine life whenever you are out in the ocean, but they’re closer to shore now. And those contacts — those interactions with humans and shark may increase,” Bellone said.

UVALDE, Texas (AP) – The Texas Department of Public Safety announced Monday an internal review into the actions of state police that had dozens of troopers and agents on the scene during a slow and chaotic response the Uvalde elementary school massacre.
The review comes as a damning new 80-page report released over the weekend by the Texas House revealed wide failures by all levels of law enforcement. The findings put more than 90 state troopers at Robb Elementary School during the May 24 tragedy.
It is the first time Texas DPS has said it would examine the actions of its own officers in the two months since the deadliest school shooting in Texas history.
Texas DPS said in a statement the review would “determine if any violations of policy, law, or doctrine occurred” during the response to the attack that killed 19 children and two teachers in a fourth-grade classroom. It said the review was launched last week.
Texas DPS Director Steve McCraw has previously called the law enforcement response to the shooting an “abject failure.” He has put much of the blame on the school district’s police chief for not breaching the classroom sooner.
The findings of an investigative committee released Sunday were the first to criticize both state and federal law enforcement, and not just local authorities in the South Texas city for the bewildering inaction by heavily armed officers as a gunman fired inside two adjoining fourth-grade classrooms.
Footage from city police officers’ body cameras made public hours later only further emphasized the failures – and fueled the anger and frustration of relatives of the victims.
“It’s disgusting. Disgusting,” said Michael Brown, whose 9-year-old son was in the school’s cafeteria on the day of the shooting and survived. “They’re cowards.”
Nearly 400 law enforcement officials rushed to the school, but “egregiously poor decision making” resulted in more than an hour of chaos before the gunman was finally confronted and killed, according to the report written by an investigative committee from the Texas House of Representatives.
Together, the report and more than three hours of newly released body camera footage from the May 24 tragedy amounted to the fullest account to date of one of the worst school shootings in U.S. history.
“At Robb Elementary, law enforcement responders failed to adhere to their active shooter training, and they failed to prioritize saving innocent lives over their own safety,” the report said.
The gunman fired approximately 142 rounds inside the building – and it is “almost certain” that at least 100 shots came before any officer entered, according to the report, which laid out numerous failures. Among them:
- No one assumed command despite scores of officers being on the scene.
- The commander of a Border Patrol tactical team waited for a bulletproof shield and working master key for a door to the classrooms that may have not even been needed, before entering.
- A Uvalde Police Department officer said he heard about 911 calls that had come from inside the rooms, and that his understanding was the officers on one side of the building knew there were victims trapped inside. Still, no one tried to breach the classroom.
The committee didn’t “receive medical evidence” to show that police storming the classrooms sooner would have saved lives, but it concluded that “it is plausible that some victims could have survived if they had not had to wait 73 additional minutes for rescue.”
The findings had at least one immediate effect: Lt. Mariano Pargas, a Uvalde Police Department officer who was the city’s acting police chief during the massacre, was placed on administrative leave.
Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin said an investigation would be launched to determine whether Pargas should have taken command of the scene. He also disclosed for the first time that some officers had left the force since the shooting but did not provide an exact number, saying it was as many as three.
Hours after the report was released, Uvalde officials separately made public for the first time hours of body camera footage from the city’s police officers who responded to the attack. It included video of several officers reacting to word from a dispatcher, roughly 30 minutes after the shooting began, that a child in the room had called 911.
“The room is full of victims. Child 911 call,” an officer said.
Other body camera video from Uvalde Staff Sgt. Eduardo Canales, the head of the city’s SWAT team, showed the officer approaching the classrooms when gunfire rang out at 11:37 a.m.
A minute later, Canales said: “Dude, we’ve got to get in there. We’ve got to get in there, he just keeps shooting. We’ve got to get in there.” Another officer could be heard saying “DPS is sending their people.”
It was 72 minutes later, at 12:50 p.m., when officers finally breached the classrooms and kill the shooter.
Calls for police accountability have grown in Uvalde since the shooting.
“It’s a joke. They’re a joke. They’ve got no business wearing a badge. None of them do,” Vincent Salazar, grandfather of 11-year-old Layla Salazar, who was among those killed, said Sunday.
Anger flashed in Uvalde even over how the report was rolled out: Tina Quintanilla-Taylor, whose daughter survived the shooting, shouted at the three-member Texas House committee as they left a news conference after the findings were released.
Committee members had invited families of the victims to discuss the report privately, but Quintanilla-Taylor said the committee should have taken questions from the community, not just the media.
“I’m pissed. They need to come back and give us their undivided attention,” she said later. “These leaders are not leaders,” she said.
According to the report, 376 law enforcement officers massed at the school. The overwhelming majority of those who responded were federal and state law enforcement. That included nearly 150 U.S. Border Patrol agents and 91 state police officials.
“Other than the attacker, the Committee did not find any ‘villains’ in the course of its investigation,” the report said. “There is no one to whom we can attribute malice or ill motives. Instead, we found systemic failures and egregiously poor decision making.”
The report noted that many of the hundreds of law enforcement responders who rushed to the school were better trained and equipped than the school district police – which the head of the Texas Department of Public Safety, the state police force, previously faulted for not going into the room sooner.
Investigators said it was not their job to determine whether officers should be held accountable, saying that decisions rested with each law enforcement agency. Prior to Sunday, only one of the hundreds of officers on the scene – Pete Arredondo, the Uvalde school district police chief – was known to have been on leave.
“Everyone who came on the scene talked about this being chaotic,” said Texas state Rep. Dustin Burrows, a Republican who led the investigation.
Officials with the Texas Department of Public Safety and U.S. Border Patrol did not immediately return requests for comment Sunday.
The report followed weeks of closed-door interviews with more than 40 people, including witnesses and law enforcement who were on the scene of the shooting.
No single officer has received as much scrutiny since the shooting as Arredondo, who also resigned from his newly appointed seat on the City Council after the shooting. Arredondo told the committee he treated the shooter as a “barricaded subject,” according to the report, and defended never treating the scene as an active-shooter situation because he did not have visual contact with the gunman.
Arredondo also tried to find a key for the classrooms, but no one ever checked to see if the doors were locked, according to the report.
The report criticized as “lackadaisical” the approach of the hundreds of officers who surrounded the school and said that they should have recognized that Arredondo remaining in the school without reliable communication was “inconsistent” with him being the scene commander. The report concluded that some officers waited because they relied on bad information while others “had enough information to know better.”
The report was the result of one of several investigations into the shooting, including one led by the Justice Department.
Brown, the father of the 9-year-old who was in the cafeteria the day of the shooting, came to the committee’s news conference Sunday carrying signs saying, “We Want Accountability” and “Prosecute Pete Arredondo.”
Brown said he has not yet read the report but already knew enough to say that police “have blood on their hands.” | https://www.myhighplains.com/news/texas/texas-state-police-launch-internal-review-of-uvalde-response/ | 2022-07-18T20:47:49Z | https://www.myhighplains.com/news/texas/texas-state-police-launch-internal-review-of-uvalde-response/ | true | 42 |

Entertaining Essentials: Books to Keep Your Spirits High and Stress Low This Holiday Season
Thanksgiving and Christmas make year’s end a wonderful, if busy, time. Some people relish the opportunity to play host, but for many, the thought of coming up with a menu and preparing enough food for your extended family is a real holiday mood killer.
Before you crawl under the covers and let someone else deal with all that cooking and entertaining, take a look at some of these helpful cookbooks. No matter what holiday has you in its crosshairs, you will be ready for a potluck, a sit-down dinner, a cocktail party, and every other type of celebration you’re hosting or invited to. Who knows: you might even look forward to them with these cookbooks as your guide!
Entertaining guests means catering to a wide and potentially conflicting array of dietary needs and preferences. Provisions: The Roots of Caribbean Cooking offers an impressive selection of traditional recipes that use only vegetarian ingredients—but are more than delicious enough to impress the entire family. No one will be able to resist sweet potato gnocchi, coconut corn fritters, ripe plantain gratin, and other meat-free treats!
For many people, the holidays mean indulging in a little bit (or a lot!) of alcohol. Why not add a fun and cultured twist to your holiday drinking with the cocktails in Tequila Mockingbird? Each drink featured here is a clever reference to a classic book. Now you can impress the mixologists, the book nerds, and the pun lovers in your life at the same time with Rye and Prejudice, The Cooler Purple, The Joy Luck Club Soda, and lots more.
Holidays mean parties, and parties mean plenty of drinks and music—and guests to share them with! Booze & Vinyl is a unique book that not only provides fantastic cocktail recipes, it also suggests the perfect vintage album to pair with each drink. For instance, the Rolling Stones album Sticky Fingers goes great with a tequila sunrise and a Jack and Coke (and Coors). Also, if you’re looking for snacks to serve with your musical cocktails, this book has you covered there, too.
Ayesha Curry, wife of renowned basketball player Stephen Curry, is a mixed-race woman who has lived in both Canada and the United States. This unique background introduced her to delicious dishes and traditional recipes from many different cultures. She shares some of them in The Seasoned Life. What holiday party wouldn’t be improved with the addition of Greek yogurt parfaits, prosciutto egg cups with asparagus, or honey-pepper cast-iron biscuits?
Many people think of the holidays as a time to spend with family, but friends can be just as important! Show your friends how much they mean to you with the recipes in Friendsgiving, a cookbook inspired by the classic friend-centric sitcom Friends. You’ll learn how to make Fancy Restaurant Salad, Floor Cheesecake, Ross’s famous Moist Maker sandwich, and more—and to serve them with style! After all, there’s no better way to tell your friends you love them than with good food and great company.
Who says we can only party around the holidays? Not David Burtka, author of Life is a Party. This joyful cookbook encourages readers to celebrate the little things, from a sunny afternoon to movie night with family. The recipes are arranged by season, so it’s easy to find springtime foods like rhubarb-ginger crumb muffins, winter fare like thyme and gruyère popovers, and everything in between. Whatever holiday you’re celebrating—including none at all—this book will prepare you.
Some people enjoy the unpredictable nature of potluck dinners; others dread the idea of having to prepare something and then pretend to like what everyone else brought. With Bring It, you can be sure that your dish, at least, will be a hit! You’ll be anxiously awaiting your next potluck dinner invitation so you can show off your couscous with peas and onions, ginger beef, herbed tzatziki, or any other of these delectable dishes. If you’ve never been to a potluck before, the book includes tips on how to transport the food, reheat it, and more.
Opening a six-pack of beer or a bottle of wine is fine for most occasions. But what if you want to make your holiday celebration extra special by mixing your very own cocktails? Julie Reiner, who owns two New York clubs, wrote The Craft Cocktail Party to help you make fantastic cocktails in the comfort of home.

(KTLA) – Never mind the Walking Dead. Count Toys “R” Us as a brand that refuses to die.
The once-ubiquitous toy store — that went bankrupt and closed all outlets in 2018 — is poised for a big comeback.
Toys “R” Us will spring to life in every Macy’s department store over the next few months.
The stores-within-stores will range in size from 1,000 square feet in smaller locations to sprawling 10,000 square feet in larger Macy’s, including in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Macy’s recognized an opportunity in revitalizing Toys “R” Us when it agreed last year to sell goodies under the Toys “R” Us brand on its website.
Macy’s then started opening stores-within-stores in about 400 locations to gauge customer reaction.
The response was apparently warm enough that Macy’s is now going all-in on the toy brand.
Toys “R” Us is owned by WHP Global, that acquired the brand from Tru Kids Inc., that snapped up the Toys “R” Us name in a liquidation sale.
Tru Kids opened Toys “R” Us stores in New Jersey and Texas, but then closed them last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Macy’s said Toys “R” Us “will come to life in-store with playful colored fixtures as well as hands-on demonstration tables for customers to interact with various toy assortments.”
“Macy’s cannot wait to bring the Toys ‘R’ Us experience to life in our stores,” Nata Dvir, Macy’s chief merchandising officer, said in a statement.
“We hope Toys ‘R’ Us kids of all ages discover the joy of exploration and play within our shops and families create special memories together.”
Macy’s clearly is seeking to be more to more people at a time when the retail industry is struggling to return to pre-pandemic strength and to compete with online rivals such as Amazon.
The new Toys “R” Us stores will start opening this month, with the rollout scheduled for completion by mid-October — that just so happens to be about the time holiday shopping kicks into gear. | https://www.cbs17.com/news/national-news/toys-r-us-is-coming-back-inside-macys-stores-ahead-of-the-holidays/ | 2022-07-18T21:04:27Z | https://www.cbs17.com/news/national-news/toys-r-us-is-coming-back-inside-macys-stores-ahead-of-the-holidays/ | false | 17 |

Beautician’s microblading video has the internet freaking out & it’s not for the reason you might expect
IT'S not uncommon for beauticians to film or photograph a client's finished look.
Yet one TikTok beauty account has users going crazy in the comments - and it has nothing to do the job.
One of the most effective ways to spread the news about your business is to advertise it on social media.
Many stylists, nail artists, and beauty techs advertise their skills through client examples.
Sydney Jaccarya is a permanent make-up artist that uses microblading.
According to Healthline: "Microblading is a cosmetic procedure that inserts pigment under your skin using a needle to give you well-defined, natural-looking eyebrows."
In Sydney's recent TikTok video, she features a client getting her eyebrows touched up after a year.
If you didn't already follow Sydney's account, you wouldn't know that she was trying to highlight the client's eyebrows.
The focus of the video appears a little lower on the face.
Despite her caption "Keeping up with her color refresh means color and shape are always" and hashtags that reference the brows, viewers couldn't believe that was supposed to be the focus.
Most read in Lifestyle
Instead, they couldn't take their eyes off the client's eyelashes.
Her lashes are not only long and spider-like but appear as if months of mascara have been building up on them.
Viewers assumed the video was going to be a transition of her lashes being cleaned but they weren't even mentioned.
Comments poured in, each one more shocked at the appearance of the client.
One person wrote: "Is that 10 years of mascara on top of mascara? !!!!!!"
Others included: "WHAT in the actual tarantulas am I supposed to be looking at" and, "I thought it was one of those videos that clean up the dirty lashes."
Another viewer simply said: "I'm calling the police."
Confusion continued to trickle through the comment section as viewers continued to ask for explanations on how someone could let that happen to their lashes.
"So is no one going to explain the lashes," a viewer wrote. | https://www.the-sun.com/lifestyle/5806984/beauticians-microblading-bizarre-eyelashes/ | 2022-07-18T21:06:16Z | https://www.the-sun.com/lifestyle/5806984/beauticians-microblading-bizarre-eyelashes/ | false | 4 |

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — One Houston Reddit user began noticing some strange changes in his home. His smart thermostat was being adjusted to change temperatures, but no one inside his residence had ever touched it.
The Reddit board user says he found at least eight other families on the popular social media site that were going through the same issue.
Before long, other people across Texas were commenting on the post about how they have experienced the same exact thing with their smart thermostats.
Some Reddit users say this also occurred during the Texas Freeze. After raising the temperature in order to warm up their house, the smart thermostat would enter an "energy savings event" and switch back down to at least 60 degrees.
Now, smart thermostats are being remotely adjusted by Texas power companies during the heat wave to meet demands. This revelation comes just after ERCOT issued conservation appeals last week.
Officials say if you're enrolled in specific energy-savings programs, chances are you may have noticed your smart thermostat automatically going up a few degrees.
Texas energy companies assure customers that they can opt-out of temperature adjustments at any time; however, some smart thermostat users have said they could not do so. | https://www.kristv.com/news/local-news/are-smart-thermostats-being-remotely-adjusted-by-texas-power-companies | 2022-07-18T21:07:53Z | https://www.kristv.com/news/local-news/are-smart-thermostats-being-remotely-adjusted-by-texas-power-companies | false | 2 |
Kim Kardashian has been accused of being a double agent for the patriarchy, and in 2011, she boldly stated, 'I run music.'
Today in the Cancelled Courtroom, Ms Kardashian is on the stand. The accusations against her are so prolific and span so many decades, the trial has been extended across two parts. In Part One, Clare and Jessie examine everything from Kim spruiking appetite suppressing lollipops to a questionable experience at a so-called 'elephant sanctuary'.
Will Kim Kardashian be Cancelled?

To the editor:
The Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds livestock barns that were critical during the CZU Fire evacuations might cease to be available for area family livestock during emergencies, depending on public input at the Fair Board July 19 Special Hybrid Meeting.
The CEO wants to demolish the hog and goat/sheep barns before the 2022 County Fair opens and put up tents for kids to exhibit animals during Fair. However, there would be no shelter for emergency evacuation use available in the foreseeable future.
The barns just received major electrical upgrades, funded with $441,700 State Prop. 68 grant public monies, wasted if they are demolished. The Monterey Peninsula Foundation just granted $110,000 to repair the barn foundations, and the repairs could be done before the Fair.
Ultimately, it depends on what the people want. Please speak up July 19 if emergency livestock shelter matters to you...otherwise, it could be gone by next month.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Jury selection was proceeding on Monday in the criminal trial of Steve Bannon, a prominent former presidential aide to Donald Trump, for defying a subpoena from the congressional committee investigating last year's attack on the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob.
Bannon, 68, is facing two misdemeanor counts of contempt of Congress after he declined last year to provide testimony or documents to the Democratic-led House of Representatives select committee.
As of mid-afternoon, 17 potential jurors had been deemed qualified to serve in the trial after questioning by lawyers for both sides, with the goal of reaching 22. A jury of 12, with two alternates, will be selected to hear the case.
Bannon had unsuccessfully tried to persuade U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols to delay the trial, arguing that the committee's high-profile public hearings could make it harder to assemble an impartial jury.
The committee presented evidence last week that Bannon spoke with Trump at least twice on the day before the Jan. 6, 2021, attack. The committee also played a clip of Bannon saying on a right-wing talk show on Jan. 5 that "all hell is going to break loose tomorrow." Bannon made those comments after his first call with Trump, the committee said.
Nichols allowed one woman to remain as a potential juror even though she said she had watched the committee's hearings, despite objections from Bannon's defense. The judge noted that the woman indicated she had not prejudged the case, adding that "the mere fact of media coverage is not enough" to exclude her.
A handful of people considered as potential jurors expressed negative sentiments toward Bannon and were excluded from the panel.
The committee plans to hold another hearing on Thursday evening, aimed at reaching a broad television audience. Bannon's trial will likely still be going on at that point. Nichols said on Monday it could extend into next week.
Bannon has argued that the material sought by the committee was protected by a legal doctrine called executive privilege that can keep certain presidential communications confidential.
Trump told Bannon this month he was waiving any executive privilege claim.
Bannon reversed course this month and announced that he wanted to testify before a public committee hearing, nearly 10 months after defying the subpoena. There has been no indication of any plan to have him do so, as the committee likely would want him to first testify in closed sessions in order to cover a wide range of matters.
Nichols has ruled that Bannon cannot use executive privilege as a defense and cannot claim he relied on his attorney's advice when he declined to testify or provide records. Nichols has left open the possibility that Bannon could present evidence of his recent offer to cooperate with the panel as a defense.
Trump's supporters attacked the Capitol in a failed effort to block formal congressional certification of his 2020 election loss to Democrat Joe Biden.
As a top adviser to the Republican Trump's 2016 presidential campaign who later served as White House chief strategist, Bannon helped articulate the "America First" right-wing populism and fierce opposition to immigration that helped define Trump's presidency.
Bannon separately was charged in 2020 with defrauding donors to a private fund-raising effort to boost Trump's project to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border. Trump subsequently issued a pardon to Bannon before that case could go to trial.

PITTSBURGH, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Beginning this fall Patrick Phillips, CEO of Cavulus, a leading technology provider in the Medicare Advantage (MA) industry, says new rules from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will require independent agents who sell Medicare Advantage plans to record all phone calls with beneficiaries.
Phillips believes this step is in response to a barrage of TV commercials pitching MA plans via third party marketing organizations (TPMOs). The ads commonly feature celebrity spokespeople and have garnered complaints that CMS describes as "confusing and misleading' – often leading to improper enrollments.
While TPMOs likely prompted action from CMS, Phillips notes that the regulations currently apply to the entirety of the MA broker community.
"These new requirements will burden smaller agencies and independent agents," Phillips explains. "The recording technology is the simplest part; ten-year storage, indexing, archiving, and data transfer protocols for future CMS and MA plan audits will be complicated without IT resources."
"It's complexity that we're familiar with since we've been solving it for Medicare Advantage organizations (MAOs) since 2006," says Phillips. "Internal call centers, direct sales and support staff have long been required to operate on recorded lines."
"MAOs of all sizes utilize our solutions to drive compliant growth through our embedded compliance features like dynamic CMS-approved call scripts. Our technology creates a uniformity of messaging and simplicity in the face of an audit by capturing a complete picture from marketing to enrollment."
Phillips envisions TPMOs, large agencies, and MAOs offering their technology to independent agents as a perk, which may be a quick fix.
"Cavulus clients extend our solutions to their third-party call centers for a consistent member experience and to maintain control of the data. This may be an option with other solutions if the proper security, privacy, and data-sandboxing protocols are in place."
Phillips emphasizes that MAOs are responsible for compliance. "They must be concerned about what systems third parties use to store sensitive data with HIPAA, PHI, and CMS guidelines in mind," he says.

Mozambique: African Development Bank, Green Growth Knowledge Partnership and World Wide Fund for Nature host dialogue on mainstreaming natural…
The African Development Bank, the Green Growth Knowledge Partnership and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), have hosted a dialogue to revalidate Mozambique’s commitment to mainstreaming its natural capital to spur the transition to a green economy.
Mozambique, alongside Tanzania, was selected as a pilot country, for applying a natural capital approach in investment processes.
The national dialogue titled “Africa Green Economy Conference: Innovative Pathways for a Nature Positive Future from Policy, Business and Finance,” took place on 29 June under the the Natural Capital for African Development Finance (NC4-ADF) initiative and the Economics for Nature program.
The dialogue brought together government representatives from key sectors, development partners and civil society to discuss how to place nature at the heart of economic development. Participants explored opportunities for developing public policy that values better Mozambique’s unique natural capital assets, which are vital to ensuring a robust, inclusive recovery and the transition to a nature-positive economy following the Covid-19 pandemic.
In remarks during the opening plenary, Fernando Bemane Sousa, Deputy Minister of Land and Environment, called for increased public and private investment to strengthen the technical and financial capacity of national institutions and promote the inclusion of natural capital accounting in national accounts systems for better transparency, planning and data production.
“We are aware that the road to an inclusive and sustainable green economy is still quite long,” Deputy Minister Sousa said. He congratulated the partners and other actors that have actively contributed to promoting a green economy and climate action.
In Mozambique, the natural capital assessment focuses on the Pemba-Lichinga Integrated Development Corridor, which the Government has targeted for developing a special agro-industrial processing zone, with support from the African Development Bank.
The Bank’s Country Manager, Cesar Mba Abogo, stated: “The African Development Bank is committed to going beyond fragmented efforts to deal with climate change, biodiversity loss and its impact on social and economic development. The challenges humanity faces today demand concerted and integrated efforts to find responsible and sustainable solutions which benefit people and the planet without sacrificing the legitimate development aspirations of countries such as Mozambique. We are delighted to be part of this dialogue and work in partnership with GGKP and WWF and with the Government to foster green economic recovery in Mozambique.”
Coordinator of the Green Growth Knowledge Partnership, John Maughan, said: “Taking stock of our natural capital, and viewing our natural resources as the assets they are, is key to ensuring the long-term health of our life-support systems and economic development. GGKP is proud to lead this vital work together with the AfDB, WWF and the Economics for Nature partners, and to offer a platform to discuss how to mainstream consideration for nature into all levels of decision making, including investment decisions.”
WWF Interim Country Director Solani Mango said: “We are honored to see the progress made with this work initiated with the government of Mozambique in 2012. The recognition of natural capital as a key part of the public policy and decision-making processes regarding the country’s development has been a priority since the government launched the roadmap for a green economy. The results achieved through this commitment demonstrate not only the government’s determination, but also its commitment to establish bridges of dialogue with the various stakeholders, to jointly address the challenges our country faces in transitioning to sustainable and inclusive economic development.” | https://www.africaglobalvillage.com/mozambique-african-development-bank-green-growth-knowledge-partnership-and-world-wide-fund-for-nature-host-dialogue-on-mainstreaming-natural/ | 2022-07-18T21:17:41Z | https://www.africaglobalvillage.com/mozambique-african-development-bank-green-growth-knowledge-partnership-and-world-wide-fund-for-nature-host-dialogue-on-mainstreaming-natural/ | true | 1 |

Cape Town — England's Ben Stokes will retire from one-day international cricket after Tuesday's series opener against South Africa on his Durham home ground, citing an "unsustainable" schedule as the motivation for his shock decision.
Stokes, who became England Test captain in April, made his ODI debut in 2011 and his standout performance in the format came in the 2019 World Cup final against New Zealand.
The charismatic all-rounder scored an unbeaten 84 in the Lord's final to force a super over that ended with England becoming 50-over world champions for the first time by the slenderest of margins.
But in the three years since that triumphant moment, the 31-year-old has played just nine more ODIs due to injuries, a mental health break and workload management.
He will turn out one last time at Chester-le-Street against South Africa on Tuesday before focusing on his Test captaincy and Twenty20 career.

Scoring a Test century is what matters, says Rassie van der Dussen ahead of England Test series
Stokes, who has scored 2,919 runs and taken 74 wickets with his lively fast-medium bowling in 104 ODIs, said in a social media post on Monday that it had been an "incredibly tough decision to make".
"As hard as a decision as this was to come to, it's not as hard (as) dealing with the fact I can't give my teammates 100 percent of myself in this format any more," he said.
"The England shirt deserves nothing less from anyone who wears it. Three formats are just unsustainable for me now.
Punishing schedule
"Not only do I feel that my body is letting me down because of the schedule and what is expected of us, but I also feel that I am taking the place of another player who can give (captain) Jos (Buttler) and the rest of the team their all.
"I will give everything I have to Test cricket, and now, with this decision, I feel I can also give my total commitment to the T20 format."
Stokes's decision to quit ODIs follows the retirement last month of World Cup-winning captain Eoin Morgan, who helped shape England into a formidable force in the white-ball game.
Clare Connor, interim CEO at the England and Wales Cricket Board, described Stokes as a "superstar in every format of our game".
"Ben is not only one of the world's best players, but an inspirational figure too so our ODI team will miss him," she said.
"But having taken on the Test captaincy and with today's busy calendar of cricket, we completely understand and respect his decision."
Stokes's decision to step down comes after England's 2-1 series defeat against India, in which he scored 48 runs in three innings but only bowled three overs.
He has been rested from the three T20 games against South Africa that will follow the three-match ODI series against the Proteas.
England have crammed seven Tests and 12 limited overs internationals into their home season following a punishing touring programme.
Former England captain Nasser Hussain criticised the "joke" schedule, lamenting Stokes's retirement.
"If the ICC (International Cricket Council) just keeps putting on ICC events, and the individual boards just keep filling in the gaps with as much cricket as possible, then eventually these cricketers will say 'I'm done'," he told Sky Sports.
Stokes and new red-ball head coach Brendon McCullum have been widely praised for reviving England's Test fortunes with an aggressive approach that has led to spectacular wins against New Zealand and India in recent weeks.
A three-Test series against South Africa starts at Lord's on August 17.

PITTSBURGH, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Beginning this fall Patrick Phillips, CEO of Cavulus, a leading technology provider in the Medicare Advantage (MA) industry, says new rules from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will require independent agents who sell Medicare Advantage plans to record all phone calls with beneficiaries.
Phillips believes this step is in response to a barrage of TV commercials pitching MA plans via third party marketing organizations (TPMOs). The ads commonly feature celebrity spokespeople and have garnered complaints that CMS describes as "confusing and misleading' – often leading to improper enrollments.
While TPMOs likely prompted action from CMS, Phillips notes that the regulations currently apply to the entirety of the MA broker community.
"These new requirements will burden smaller agencies and independent agents," Phillips explains. "The recording technology is the simplest part; ten-year storage, indexing, archiving, and data transfer protocols for future CMS and MA plan audits will be complicated without IT resources."
"It's complexity that we're familiar with since we've been solving it for Medicare Advantage organizations (MAOs) since 2006," says Phillips. "Internal call centers, direct sales and support staff have long been required to operate on recorded lines."
"MAOs of all sizes utilize our solutions to drive compliant growth through our embedded compliance features like dynamic CMS-approved call scripts. Our technology creates a uniformity of messaging and simplicity in the face of an audit by capturing a complete picture from marketing to enrollment."
Phillips envisions TPMOs, large agencies, and MAOs offering their technology to independent agents as a perk, which may be a quick fix.
"Cavulus clients extend our solutions to their third-party call centers for a consistent member experience and to maintain control of the data. This may be an option with other solutions if the proper security, privacy, and data-sandboxing protocols are in place."
Phillips emphasizes that MAOs are responsible for compliance. "They must be concerned about what systems third parties use to store sensitive data with HIPAA, PHI, and CMS guidelines in mind," he says.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The extradition of drug trafficker Rafael Caro Quintero, captured in the mountains of northwest Mexico, will not happen quickly, according to a judge’s ruling published Monday.
The Mexican judge issued what amounts to an injunction preventing Caro Quintero from being sent to the United States without going through the formal extradition process. The judge also ruled that he must remain in the maximum security prison west of the capital where he was taken after his capture while that process plays out.
After Caro Quintero’s arrest Friday, the U.S. government said it would seek his “immediate extradition.” That process began Saturday, but as expected, Caro Quintero’s lawyers intervened.
The extradition process can often be drawn out depending on the target’s willingness to fight it and the governments’ desire to speed it along.
A judge reviews the United States’ extradition request, including evidence supporting the allegations, and gives an opinion to the Foreign Affairs ministry on whether it meets criteria for extradition. Even if the ministry decides that the extradition should proceed, Caro Quintero would have the ability to appeal.
In the case of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, the former leader of the Sinaloa cartel now serving a life sentence in the United States, the process took a year.
Caro Quintero, who was convicted in Mexico for the murder of DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena and a Mexican pilot in 1985 was captured by Mexican marines Friday in the state of Sinaloa.
On Monday, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said the arrest showed the Mexican government no longer protects criminals.
“If there is an arrest order it has to be executed and if support is asked of the (Mexican) government it’s executed, whoever it is, it’s a routine affair, they (the armed forces) don’t need to consult me,” López Obrador said during his daily news conference.
Asked if the DEA had located Caro Quintero and told Mexico’s marines where to find him, López Obrador said “no.” He said the marines had developed the intelligence on where the 69-year-old drug lord was hiding was and acted on it.
The president did say that regular cooperation between the two countries exists and U.S. authorities participate “when necessary,” for example with drones, but clarified that that was not the case this time.
Few details about the capture have been made public so how it all came together remains unclear. It did come three days after López Obrador met with President Joe Biden in Washington.
And the DEA Administrator Anne Milgram made it sound like a collaborative effort in a message to the agency late Friday.
“Our incredible DEA team in Mexico worked in partnership with Mexican authorities to capture and arrest Rafael Caro Quintero”, she said in a message to the agency late Friday. “Today’s arrest is the result of years of your blood, sweat, and tears.”
Caro Quintero had blamed Camarena for a raid on a huge marijuana plantation in 1984. The next year, Camarena was kidnapped in Guadalajara, allegedly on orders from Caro Quintero. His tortured body was found a month later.
Caro Quintero was captured in Costa Rica in 1985 and was serving a 40-year sentence in Mexico for the abduction and killing of Camarena and Mexican pilot Alfredo Zavala Avelar when an appeals court overturned his verdict in 2013. The Supreme Court upheld the sentence, but it was too late — Caro Quintero had been spirited off in a waiting vehicle.
Caro Quintero was added to FBI’s 10 most wanted list in 2018 with a $20 million reward for his capture. | https://www.8newsnow.com/news/international/extradition-of-mexican-drug-lord-to-us-not-likely-to-be-fast/ | 2022-07-18T21:34:03Z | https://www.8newsnow.com/news/international/extradition-of-mexican-drug-lord-to-us-not-likely-to-be-fast/ | false | 11 |

PORT KLANG, Malaysia (AP) — Malaysian authorities said Monday they seized a container of African elephant tusks, pangolin scales and other animal skulls and bones estimated to be worth 80 million ringgit ($18 million).
The Customs Department said in a statement it discovered the contraband hidden behind sawn timber following checks on July 10 on a ship coming from Africa. This included 6,000 kilograms (13,227 pounds) of elephant tusks, 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of pangolin scales, 25 kilograms (55 pounds) of rhino horns and 300 kilograms (661 pounds) of animal skulls, bones and horns, it said.

The Giants have selected Simon with the 166th overall pick in the 2022 first-year player draft.
Simon can hit triple-digits on the radar gun and has a bit of a quirky delivery which adds deception, particularly to his slider. Simon was shuffled between the bullpen and starting rotation at Notre Dame due to spotty control. If he can improve on locating his pitches, Simon has the stuff to stick as a starter. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/giants-liam-simon-last-pick-of-fifth-round-by-giants/ | 2022-07-18T21:37:58Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/giants-liam-simon-last-pick-of-fifth-round-by-giants/ | false | null |
Governor awards $500K grant for Alexander City development
ALEXANDER CITY, Ala. (WSFA) - Gov. Kay Ivey has awarded a $500,000 grant to help provide 50 new jobs and increased business in the Alexander City area.
According to the governor’s office, the Community Development Block Grant funds will be used to provide infrastructure for a golf course and residential development on Lake Martin.
Specifically, the funds are expected to help the city build a sewer pumping station that will serve what officials are calling an 18-hole championship golf course on 1,200 acres and an adjacent residential development on 1,500 acres south of the city on Wicker Point Road. The pumping station will be located on Speake Cutoff Road between the development and Alabama Highway 63.
“With Lake Martin at its doorstep, Alexander City continues to make economic advances and provide new job opportunities,” Ivey said. “I am pleased to play a role in supporting this project and the jobs it will create at the golf course.”
Officials said the pumping station, which will transport sewage to the Alexander City wastewater treatment plant, is needed because individual septic tanks would pose an environmental threat to the lake.
Alexander City is committing $1.25 million for the project.

Galway Bay fm newsroom – It looks like a record has been set for the hottest temperature ever recorded in July.
Met Eireann says a temperature of 33C was reported from the weather station at Phoenix Park in Dublin at lunchtime.
It would be the highest temperature recorded in over a century – and very close to the highest ever recorded, 33.3c at Kilkenny Castle in 1887.
But what do people in Galway make of the hot weather – Aisling Bolton Dowling has been finding out.
Aisling also asked people if they thought the media are going overboard in their coverage of the heat. | https://galwaybayfm.ie/galway-bay-fm-news-desk/galway-public-react-to-hot-weather-as-records-set-in-dublin/ | 2022-07-18T21:41:30Z | https://galwaybayfm.ie/galway-bay-fm-news-desk/galway-public-react-to-hot-weather-as-records-set-in-dublin/ | true | null |
A former UCLA decathlete who competed with the Philippines national team pleaded guilty Monday, July 18, to raising more than $28 million from investors falsely told their funds would be used to finance companies marketing cannabis vape pens, federal authorities said.
David Bunevacz, 53, of Calabasas entered his plea to one count each of securities fraud and wire fraud, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
U.S. District Judge Dale S. Fischer set sentencing for Nov. 21. Bunevacz will face up to 40 years behind bars.
Bunevacz solicited investments in various businesses that he claimed were involved in the sale of vape pens containing cannabis products such as CBD oil and THC.
The defendant falsely told at least one investor he had a long-standing relationship with a Chinese manufacturer of disposable vape pens.
Bunevacz also provided investors with forged documents, including bank statements, invoices and purchase orders, to support his claims of the businesses’ success and the need for investor funds, according to his plea agreement.
Bunevacz misappropriated the majority of the funds to pay for his own opulent lifestyle, “including a luxurious house in Calabasas, Las Vegas trips, jewelry, designer handbags, a lavish birthday party for his daughter, and horses,” papers filed in Los Angeles federal court state.
Federal prosecutors say he spent more than $8.1 million at casinos, paid $218,700 to an event planner in connection with the birthday party, and bought a horse for $330,000.
Some investor funds were used to repay earlier investors in a manner consistent with a Ponzi scheme, prosecutors said.
The investigation revealed Bunevacz took efforts to conceal negative information from investors, such as his 2017 felony conviction for the unlawful sale of securities.
Operating through his cannabis companies, Bunevacz caused investor losses of at least $28.4 million, his plea agreement says. | https://www.dailybulletin.com/2022/07/18/former-ucla-decathlete-pleads-guilty-to-28-4-million-cannabis-vaping-scam/ | 2022-07-18T21:41:36Z | https://www.dailybulletin.com/2022/07/18/former-ucla-decathlete-pleads-guilty-to-28-4-million-cannabis-vaping-scam/ | true | 9 |
NEW YORK (AP) — One of The Chainsmokers’ latest hits is “High” and they’re hoping to live up to their lyrics.
The hit-making duo of Drew Taggart and Alex Pall have signed up to get into a pressurized capsule tethered to a stratospheric balloon in a few years and perform some 20 miles above the Earth.
The feat would make Taggart and Pall the first musical artists to perform at the edge of space, said Ryan Hartman, chief executive officer at fledgling space tourism company World View, to The Associated Press.
World View says The Chainsmokers will be on one of the company’s inaugural flights slated for 2024 and will record a performance from inside the capsule, giving viewers the ability to experience the music and the trip firsthand.
“We have always dreamed of going to space and are stoked to collaborate with World View to have this adventure and experience,” said The Chainsmokers in a statement. “We know the views of both Earth and space are going to be incredible and inspiring and we hope to leverage this flight for creativity on future projects.”
The Chainsmokers have had five Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hits, including “Closer” “Paris,” “Don’t Let Me Down” and “Something Just Like This” with Coldplay in 2017.
Hartman said that while most of the people who have made space flights are scientists and engineers, World View hopes sending up artists might “inspire them to do something different than they would have otherwise done.”
“We think about inspiring new perspectives and how those new perspectives can lead to a radically improved future for our Earth,” said Hartman. “To be able to reach the audience of The Chainsmokers through Alex and Drew’s work contributes to our mission as well. It’s something that I’m personally inspired by and excited about.”
World View is part of a new wave of private space exploration firms offering seats to the public, a list that includes Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic and SpaceX. Each World View balloon capsule is planned to seat eight passengers and reach a peak altitude of 100,000 feet (30,480 meters). Each flight will last six to 12 hours.
Picking The Chainsmokers for the honor was, in part, a personal decision as well as an attempt to excite a younger audience. Hartman said he watched as his youngest son belted out lyrics from the duo’s songs and was inspired by the band’s popularity. He explained the flight to the pair over dinner.
“I have just seen firsthand and personally how their music reaches a lot of different groups, a lot of different age groups and just how passionate they are about their music and their art. It matches our passion for what we do,” he said.

How news organizations handle breaking information may vary from one outlet to the next, but a common thread has historically been to err toward accuracy over speed. In other words, it’s more important to get it right than get it first.
With the emergence of social media, that guidance is upended, often producing chaotic results. Virtually every person with a cell phone and a social media account has both a means to create a “report” and a platform on which to publish it.
Misinformation, whether intentional or reckless, is inevitable, and almost always causes some degree of damage.
Over the weekend, Dothan Police were called to Wiregrass Commons Mall on a report of gunshots being fired. After investigation, police determined that while someone may have brandished a weapon during an altercation in a store, no shots were fired, no one was injured, and in no way was there an “active shooter” loose in the mall.
People are also reading…
However, various social media posts suggested otherwise, and likely discouraged some shoppers from visiting the mall during the back-to-school tax-free weekend event.
Police are reinforcing their findings through a press release and posts on their own social media channels. However, in many ways the damage of misinformation has already been done. Some shoppers were frightened unnecessarily. Others stayed home when they might have gone out and purchased items during the tax-free days. Businesses lost revenue.
Social media can be enjoyable and informative for those who use it. However, users should be mindful of the power of information distribution, and the exponential “viral” aspects of social media.
In other words, if you’re not sure it’s factual, don’t post until you are. | https://dothaneagle.com/opinion/editorial/misinformation-has-consequences/article_466b8598-06b8-11ed-8043-637868c723d6.html | 2022-07-18T21:45:17Z | https://dothaneagle.com/opinion/editorial/misinformation-has-consequences/article_466b8598-06b8-11ed-8043-637868c723d6.html | false | 1 |

The N.C. Forest Service (NCFS) is now accepting orders in its annual tree seedling sale.

WARREN COUNTY, N.J. (WPIX) — The remains of a teenage girl found at a New Jersey cemetery 40 years ago were identified Friday as Dawn Olanick, who was 17 years old when she went missing from West Babylon, Long Island in July 1982.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) announced last week that DNA extracted from Olanick’s molar tooth helped identify the teen, thanks to enhanced technology that wasn’t available four decades ago.
Olanick had been beaten beyond recognition when her body was found at Cedar Ridge Cemetery in Blairstown on July 25, 1982. The cemetery is located in northwestern New Jersey, not far from the Pennsylvania border.
In 2021, Olanick’s molar and eyelash were submitted to California-based Astrea Forensics.
“What is so special about Astrea is that they are able to extract DNA from samples that are degraded or otherwise would provide no value,” said Carol Schweitzer, a forensic supervisor at NCMEC, in a press release. “We knew that if anyone could get the information that was needed, Astrea could.”
Kelly Kincaid of Astrea Forensics said the DNA was exceptionally well preserved.
After Astrea finished genomic sequencing on the DNA, Innovative Forensic Investigations took over and used genetic genealogy techniques to build a family tree.
This led to Princess Doe ultimately being identified as Olanick.
Olanick’s cousin was present at a press conference at the Warren County District Attorney’s Office on Friday when new murder charges were announced against Arthur Kinlaw, now 68 years old and incarcerated in Sullivan County, New York.
The Warren County Prosecutor’s Office said Kinlaw, already serving time for another murder, had confessed in 2005 to killing a teenager but didn’t provide her name. Kinlaw said he had tried to lure the girl into prostitution and beat her to death when she refused.
Kinlaw has been charged with first-degree murder in connection to Olanick’s death.
Olanick’s cousin said, “This is a very big deal for my family.”
The gravestone at the New Jersey cemetery where Olanick was buried reads, “Princess Doe. Missing from Home. Dead Among Strangers. Remembered by All.”
Authorities are still asking anyone who may have more information about Olanick to contact the Warren County Prosecutor’s Office. | https://www.fourstateshomepage.com/news/national/tooth-ids-princess-doe-long-island-teen-missing-40-years/ | 2022-07-18T21:45:47Z | https://www.fourstateshomepage.com/news/national/tooth-ids-princess-doe-long-island-teen-missing-40-years/ | false | 16 |
Tom Brady Addresses Un-Retirement, How Long He'll Continue NFL Career
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady said he hasn't set a plan for the conclusion of his NFL career, but is aware that he's "very close to the end."
"I really don't (know when I'll be done playing)," Brady said in feature story for Variety released on Thursday (July 14). "I would say it's year to year: Could this be my last year? Absolutely. Could I change my mind? Absolutely. I've realized I don't have five years left. I want to do it my way. I want to give it everything I got and see where I'm at. My body feels really good. I've had a lot of traumatic injuries over the years, but if things go really smoothly and we win, that'd be great."
Brady, who turns 45 next month, opted to retire, then un-retire, earlier this year and will play in his 23rd NFL season, with a record-setting 10-year, $375 million deal to become FOX Sports' lead NFL analyst set to begin immediately after the conclusion of his playing career.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion said he made his initial February retirement decision "in the moment" and "felt it was the right thing for the team to let the Bucs know," but later "felt like I could still play and compete" before announcing his return in March.
"I know, I know. I would have preferred to un-retire in July if I wanted to play," Brady added. "But I couldn't. If I said I'm not playing, they'd make plans. So I felt there was a lot of pressure to make a decision quickly. And then ultimately, I just decided, 'Yes, let's do it.' And once I said that, it was like -- OK, here we go."
In May, Andrew Marchand of the New York Post reported Brady agreed to a 10-year, $375 million deal to become FOX Sports' new NFL lead analyst whenever he retires.
The deal is significantly larger than his $332,962,392 career earnings -- which include the $30 million he's due for the upcoming 2022 season -- in contracts with the New England Patriots (2000-2019) and Buccaneers (2020-present) during his NFL playing career, according to Spotrac.com.
Brady told Variety that FOX Sports initially reached out to him after the conclusion of the 2021 NFL season, prior to making his initial retirement decision and confirmed that ESPN was also among "a lot of different opportunities I was approached with."
When asked if his jump to FOX Sports would be delayed by an extending playing career, Brady said, "Obviously there's a chance. But I'm very close to the end" and reiterated that his focus, for now, is solely on his 23rd NFL season.
"I want to focus on football," Brady told Variety. "I really want to commit to this year to be as best as I possibly can."
Brady is the NFL's all-time passing leader for yards (84,520) and touchdowns (624), as well as quarterback wins (243), among numerous other records.
The San Mateo native spent his first 20 seasons with the Patriots, leading the franchise to an NFL record six Super Bowl championships (tied with the Steelers), before joining the Buccaneers as a free agent in March 2020, which resulted in Tampa Bay winning its second Super Bowl in franchise history, becoming the first NFL team to win a Super Bowl in its home stadium, in February 2021. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2667445640154/tom-brady-addresses-un-retirement-how-long-he-ll-continue-nfl-career | 2022-07-18T21:45:49Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2667445640154/tom-brady-addresses-un-retirement-how-long-he-ll-continue-nfl-career | true | 3 |

If Intel’s long-in-the-pipe lineup of discrete GPUs were like childhood fantasies of Santa, then the most wise amongst us would ascribe to the axiom that “seeing is believing.” As far as the rumoured Arc A780 graphics card is concerned, it’s pretty much confirmed nobody’s going to be getting one in their stocking this Christmas.
Ever since Intel announced the company’s first series of discrete modern graphics cards meant for gaming and other similar workloads, including the top-of-the-line Arc A770, people have speculated on another card, an A780, that would be competition for the Nvidia RTX 3070 in the high-ish-end gaming market. The A770 is supposed to be somewhere in between the RTX 3060 and 3070 in overall power, which meant there was room for something with a little more juice.
As reported by Tom’s Hardware and Videocardz, tech leakers like the prolific Moore’s Law is Dead have talked up the idea of a more powerful Arc card. Those rumours have now come to such a head that Intel’s own director of graphics marketing, Ryan Shrout, posted Sunday that, no, there is no A780, now shuddup about it!
He was backed up by another Intel marketer for the Arc project, Tuan Huynh, saying “there never was an A780 and no mentions of it in the year and a half I’ve been on the Arc team.”
Despite some rumors to the contrary, there is no Intel Arc A780 and there was never planned to be an A780. Let’s just settle that debate. 🤣
— Ryan Shrout (@ryanshrout) July 16, 2022
That there seems to be a hole in the Arc lineup has only helped drive the theories, however.
Moore’s Law is Dead showed up in the replies to Shrout’s tweet to defend himself and his information, essentially accusing Intel of trying to issue “damage control” over it not being able to push an RTX 3070-scaled card to market.
“It’s either that, or pretend the same source as the Raptor Lake, Redwood Cove, and Alchemist cooler leaks guessed all of that stuff… SPOILER ALERT: I didn’t.”
Moore’s Law’s YouTube channel had previously released a video on July 14 describing information he pieced together from several internal sources about the Arc lineup positioned for this summer. He mentioned that the supposed 3070 and 3070 Ti competitor was supposed to clock in at 2.3GHz or higher and have 16GB of 18 Gbps GDDR6 VRAM. He even showed supposed documents that included SKUs of the supposed card. The leaker even stated in the video that the A780 card might never actually see the light of day, but the Intel marketers’ contention that it was never even considered has only helped fuel more disagreement.
Well, at least there seems to be some consensus that the A780 is dead as a doornail, whether anyone actually breathed life into it or not.
Of course, all of this might be moot when the Nvidia inevitably releases its RTX 40-series of cards, which — if you believe the leakers — would become the company’s fastest and likely hottest GPUs in its arsenal.

A Florida family recently discovered that replacing the battery for their electric vehicle costs more than what they paid for the car.
Avery Siwinski, 17, of St. Petersburg, received a used 2014 Ford Focus Electric from her parents that cost $11,000 and had 60,000 miles on it, WTSP reported.
After six months of driving, the vehicle started having some mechanical issues before it stopped running altogether.
Siwinski’s grandfather, Ray, sought to help her with the car problems, as her father had passed away in June from Stage 4 cancer.
Ray Siwinski realized it was a common problem for this type of vehicle to need its battery replaced.
But when he received a quote from the Ford dealership, he was told it would cost a whopping $14,000 to replace the battery – $3,000 more than what the family paid for the used electric vehicle.
He also noted that the quote did not include “installation and labor costs,” WTSP reported.
After more research, Ray discovered that Ford was no longer producing batteries for that type of electric vehicle.
He issued a warning to anyone who was thinking about buying an electric vehicle.
“If you’re buying a new one, you have to realize there is no second-hand market right now because the manufacturers are not supporting the cars,” he told WTSP.
Despite the reliability and financial problems electric vehicles may pose for owners, such as what the Siwinksi family faced, the Biden administration is heavily pushing American families to ditch their gas-powered cars for electric ones.
“People from rural to suburban to urban communities can all benefit from the gas savings of driving an EV,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in March, amid record-high gas prices.
A Wall Street Journal reporter recently rented an electric vehicle for a four-day road trip and noticed she was spending more time charging the car than sleeping. The reporter then noted that “[f]umes never smelled so sweet” when filling up her gas-powered vehicle after the conclusion of her trip.

Labour are accused of lying in row over 'sex pest cover-up' after party denied attempting to silence women involved
- Former staff members accused the Labour party of making 'false statements'
- Labour has faced claims that ex-staffers were asked to sign NDAs after claims
- Two have said the issues are ‘symptomatic of the toxic culture and practices’
Labour was accused of lying last night after it denied attempting to cover up sexual harassment allegations by ‘gagging’ the women involved.
Former staff members Laura Murray and Georgie Robertson accused the party of making ‘false statements’ after it denied asking them to sign confidentiality agreements to stop them speaking out about alleged ‘inappropriate’ behaviour.
In a letter sent to Sir Keir Starmer and every member of the governing National Executive Committee yesterday, they said it had ‘further compounded the significant hurt and distress we have suffered’.
Earlier this month, the party told the Mail on Sunday that no non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) ‘have been proposed to any members of staff alleging sexual harassment since [Sir Keir] took over as leader’.
It came after Sir Keir gloated over Boris Johnson’s resignation, branding him unfit to be Prime Minister for promoting ‘sexual predator’ Chris Pincher.
Labour was accused of lying last night after it denied attempting to cover up sexual harassment allegations by ‘gagging’ the women involved. Former staff member Laura Murray, pictured, accused the party of making ‘false statements’ when it denied asking them to sign confidentiality agreements
But, in a letter seen by the Daily Mail, Miss Murray and Miss Robertson told senior figures: ‘The Labour Party must be a safe space for women employees in which they can feel able to report harassment without fear of reprisals, confident that complaints will be handled properly and that they will not be asked to sign away their right to speak about that harassment or prevented from taking legal action against the perpetrators.
‘They should not be fearful that if they do come forward about such experiences, their former employer will issue false and defamatory statements about them to the media.’
Georgie Robertson also filed a complaint against one man. Pictured with her father, barrister Geoffrey Robertson
The pair said the issues are ‘symptomatic of the toxic culture and practices’ within the party and accused it of trying to ‘publicly undermine the credibility of former women employees who come forward about harassment’. They added that they had been left with ‘no choice’ but to ask that the statement is retracted or apologised for.
A Labour spokesman did not address the contents of the letter but said the party takes ‘any complaints of sexual harassment extremely seriously’.
Miss Murray, Labour’s former head of complaints, and Miss Robertson, an ex-press officer, reported a senior male official shortly before Sir Keir became leader in April 2020.
They claim that party lawyers later asked them to sign a settlement agreement with a broad confidentiality clause, which they refused to do. The unnamed official is understood to have denied the allegations. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11025961/Labour-accused-lying-row-sex-pest-cover-party-denied-silencing-women.html | 2022-07-18T21:52:14Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11025961/Labour-accused-lying-row-sex-pest-cover-party-denied-silencing-women.html | false | 3 |
I’m an Apple store employee and there are things I’ll NEVER do with my technology – four tricks to upkeep devices
AN APPLE employee has taken to TikTok to share their top tips on protecting gadgets from wear and tear.
Apple technology is popular, functional, and always has a sleek look - but some products are delicate and should be handled with care.
TikToker @KarlitaBonitaa says she's worked at an Apple store for three years.
She uses the knowledge she's gleaned from working for Apple to provide her TikTok following with hacks, tricks, and insight for getting the most out of Apple gear.
At the top of one of her most-viewed videos, she advises against keeping any liquids in the workspace - it takes just one spill to kill a laptop, phone, or tablet.
"If I ever did get liquid in one of my devices, I'll never put it in rice," she said.
In a follow-up TikTok, @KarlitaBonitaa explains that rice grains can get into the device's port holes and damage the interior hardware.
The original video goes on to advise users to occasionally and deliberately power down gadgets.
"I'll never use my computer for too long without shutting it down on purpose," she said.
MacWorld reported that shutting down an Apple computer will clear the device's Random Access Memory (RAM) and give the device a clean slate.
RAM is the short-term storage container where recent browsing and app usage live on the computer - clogging up the RAM will slow the computer down and a shutdown can fix it.
Most read in Tech

2022 British Open: Rory McIlroy thrives at 'fiddly' St. Andrews
Here we go again.
For the third straight major, Rory McIlroy has leaped out to post a strong first round — in this case, a 66 at the British Open that left him two strokes off the lead. For the third straight major, McIlroy is in an ideal position to snap a major-less streak that now stretches nearly eight years. The next three days are, for now, a mystery, but once again, McIlroy looks absolutely primed and ready to add another major victory to his total.
If you're looking for reasons to worry, there's this: after all his fast starts this year, he stumbled. Not much, but enough to cost him a win. He posted a 65 in the first round of the PGA Championship to lead the tournament, but eventually finished three strokes back thanks to a Saturday 74. He carded a 67 at the U.S. Open, one stroke off the lead, and finished four strokes back after a Saturday 73. (He also finished solo second at the Masters, but that was only because he threw down a Sunday 64 long after Scottie Scheffler had run away from the field.)
On the other hand, if you're looking for reasons to hope, there's this: McIlroy is kicking so hard at the door that it has to break someday. Moreover, he's bearing up well under the pressure of the tournament. He missed the tournament at St. Andrews in 2015 when he was the defending champion and on a Tiger-esque roll. He came into this tournament carrying the burden of expectation and the spotlight that comes with being elevated onto a pedestal alongside Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus. And yet, he still managed to perform well from the jump.
That hasn't always been the case for McIlroy. Three years ago, he began the 2019 Open under the spotlight at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland by stumbling to an opening quadruple-bogey 8. This time around, he birdied the first hole with a 55-foot putt that started his round in fifth gear.
"As first tee shots go, it's pretty easy, hitting a 4-iron into 120-yard fairway," McIlroy said after the round. "There's always anticipation, I guess, and wanting to get off to a good start. And I always have first tee nerves. But once that first tee shot's gone and out of the way, you sort of get into your routine and you're just playing golf. And that's where I feel most comfortable."
McIlroy felt comfortable enough to card seven birdies against a single bogey. He ended the day two strokes behind PGA Tour rookie Cameron Young, and fortunately was well off the course long before winds kicked up and greens dried out for the afternoon wave.
If there's a reason for McIlroy's recent success, it's attention to detail. When he's in cruise mode like Thursday, it can appear that everything comes easy to McIlroy.
"It never feels easy," he said. "There's just little parts of the round that it sort of shows you where you're at with everything and mentally, physically. And I came through all those little tests today unscathed, and I'm really proud of that. So it might have looked easy, but there's certain parts of the round that are challenging."
McIlroy has had a lot to bear the last few months — the weight of expectation, the burden of being the spokesman for traditional golf in the face of the LIV incursion — but so far, he's borne up well under the weight. He's one step closer to the Claret Jug; the next test will be keeping himself in contention until Sunday afternoon. So far, he's handled the firm and fast conditions just fine.
"It's the fiddliest Open that I've played. It's the only way I can really describe it. It's just really fiddly out there ... around the greens here and just all the slopes and undulations and everything," he said. "I think as the tournament progresses, you're going to get some funny bounces and it's going to test your patience at times. And fiddly hasn't really been my forte over the years, but I'm hopefully going to make it my forte this week."

JUNEAU — A 20-year-old Oconomowoc man made his initial appearance in court Monday on charges of taking $94,000 worth of property after using a forklift to gain entry into his former boss' business.
James Schmeling faces felony counts of burglary and two counts of theft of movable property, and misdemeanor counts of criminal damage to property and theft of moveable property. If convicted on the burglary charge, he could face up to 7½ years in prison and five years of extended supervision.
Schmeling appeared before Dodge County Circuit Court Commissioner Steven Seim and was released on a $1,000 signature bond. As conditions of his bond, he may not have any direct or indirect contact or communication with the victim or the shop. He also may not scrap metal.
According to the criminal complaint:
The unnamed Ashippun business owner reported on July 2 that he had video footage of one of his past employees stealing property from him. The business owner identified the suspect as Schmeling and estimated that he took about $94,000 worth of property after entering the shop using a forklift.
People are also reading…
The business owner said that Schmeling had been staying in a camper on the property for a few months and had been assisting with scrapping vehicles. His primary duty was cutting catalytic converters off of junk vehicles. However, after a structure fire, the owner of the property said that Schmeling could no longer live there. Schmeling was told this on June 30.
Schmeling left but allegedly returned a few hours later that night with additional people. A Bobcat skid steer loader was used to push a tow truck that was blocking the entry so one of the people could pull onto the property with a trailer. Schmeling allegedly used the forklift to open the garage door of the shop and force entry. The door was destroyed in the process.
The items taken or damaged include: a Bobcat skid steer loader, a four-wheeler, 300 to 400 pounds of copper, Milwaukee-brand tools, the garage door, a key programmer, other tools, two big bottles of change and miscellaneous cash bills, two dirt bikes, and 140 catalytic convertors.
Schmeling spoke to Dodge County Sheriff’s Office investigators on July 8 and asked if a police report had been filed by the victim. He said he wanted to file a report because someone had assaulted him in retaliation for the situation.
A week later on July 13, the property owner said Schmeling and another individual came back on the property and took more scrap metal. The surveillance camera again was able to identify Schmeling.
Sheriff’ Office detectives met with people at Waukesha Iron and Metal and learned that Schmeling had brought in some stainless steel a short while back. The last transaction they had with Schmeling was on July 12. The only transaction that included specific information was the transaction on July 11. A receipt showed him selling 50 pounds of copper, eight pounds of aluminum, 1,814 pounds of stainless steel and 78 pounds of extruded aluminum.
Deputies were also able to locate Schmeling’s shop, where some of missing items were located. Schmeling was contacted and was agitated that they were going into his shop. He denied involvement in the theft, however, and said he could probably provide an alibi.
The name of the victim has been withheld by authorities based upon their interpretation of Marsy’s Law, an amendment to the Wisconsin Constitution meant to protect victims that was passed by voters in 2021.
A preliminary hearing in Schmeling's case is scheduled for Aug. 25. | https://www.wiscnews.com/community/bdc/oconomowoc-man-charged-with-taking-94k-worth-of-equipment-and-materials-from-business/article_8d257e4b-2e55-5e6e-bd98-264f27719a4a.html | 2022-07-18T21:58:37Z | https://www.wiscnews.com/community/bdc/oconomowoc-man-charged-with-taking-94k-worth-of-equipment-and-materials-from-business/article_8d257e4b-2e55-5e6e-bd98-264f27719a4a.html | false | 1 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — The outgoing director of the Bureau of Prisons has been subpoenaed to testify before a Senate committee examining abuse and corruption in the beleaguered federal agency.
Michael Carvajal was served a subpoena to appear at a hearing later this month. The subpoena was announced Monday by Sen. Jon Ossoff, the chairman of the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
The committee’s subpoena follows an investigation by The Associated Press exposing systemic issues in the agency, including widespread criminal activity by staff and rampant sexual assault at a women’s prison in California.
The Justice Department announced last week it was replacing Carvajal with Colette Peters, the director of Oregon’s prison system. That announcement came about seven months after Carvajal submitted his resignation amid mounting pressure from Congress after the AP’s investigation.
Ossoff and Sen. Ron Johnson, the committee’s top Republican, said the subpoena was issued after the Justice Department refused to make Carvajal available to testify voluntarily.
Spokespeople for the Bureau of Prisons and for the Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Carvajal, a Trump administration holdover, has been at the center of myriad crises within the federal prison system. His tumultuous tenure included the rampant spread of coronavirus inside federal prisons, a failed response to the pandemic, dozens of escapes, deaths and critically low staffing levels that have hampered responses to emergencies.
The committee's investigation has included examination of abuse, misconduct and corruption both at the U.S. Penitentiary in Atlanta — Osoff's home state — and more broadly in the federal prison system.
“To date, the Subcommittee has been provided no legal basis that would prevent Director Carvajal’s testimony before the Subcommittee, and the Department of Justice continues to refuse to make him available to testify,” Ossoff and Johnson said in a joint statement.
The Biden administration had faced increasing pressure to remove Carvajal and do more to fix the federal prison system after President Joe Biden’s campaign promise to push criminal justice reforms. The Bureau of Prisons is one of the largest Justice Department agencies, budgeted for around 37,500 employees and over 150,000 federal prisoners. It has an annual budget of around $8 billion.
Peters is set to take over the agency in August.

ATLANTA, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:DAL) ("Delta") announced today that it has commenced an offer to purchase for cash (the "Tender Offer") up to a maximum combined aggregate purchase price of $1.5 billion, excluding accrued and unpaid interest (the "Maximum Tender Amount") of its outstanding:
- 7.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes"),
- 7.375% Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes"),
- 4.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 co-issued by Delta with SkyMiles IP Ltd., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Delta (such notes, the "SkyMiles Notes"), and
- 3.800% Notes due 2023 (the "2023 Notes" and, together with the 2025 Notes, the 2026 Notes and the SkyMiles Notes, the "Notes").
Subject to the Maximum Tender Amount, the amount of a series of Notes that is purchased in the Tender Offer will be based on the acceptance priority levels for the Notes as set forth in the table below. The Tender Offer is being made on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated July 18, 2022 (the "Offer to Purchase").
The early tender time is 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 29, 2022, unless extended with respect to any series of Notes (the "Early Tender Time"). The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on August 12, 2022, unless extended or earlier terminated (the "Expiration Time"). Holders of the Notes may withdraw their validly tendered Notes at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 29, 2022, unless extended. Holders are urged to read the Offer to Purchase carefully before making any decision with respect to the Tender Offer.
Certain information regarding the Notes and the Tender Offer is set forth in the table below:
Consummation of the Tender Offer and payment for the tendered Notes is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of various conditions described in the Offer to Purchase. Subject to applicable law, Delta has reserved the right, in its sole discretion, to at any time:
- waive any and all conditions to the consummation of the Tender Offer,
- extend, terminate or withdraw the Tender Offer,
- decrease or waive the Maximum Tender Amount, with or without extending the withdrawal deadline, or
- otherwise amend the Tender Offer in any respect.
The Tender Offer will not be amended to increase the Maximum Tender Amount but may be nominally adjusted. Holders that validly tender and do not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Time and whose Notes are accepted for purchase will be eligible to receive the applicable total consideration as set forth in the table above (the "Total Consideration"), which includes the applicable early tender premium as set forth in the table above (the "Early Tender Premium"). Holders of Notes that validly tender and do not validly withdraw their Notes after the Early Tender Time and at or prior to the Expiration Time and whose notes are accepted for purchase will be eligible to receive only the applicable tender offer consideration as set forth in the table above (the "Tender Offer Consideration"), which is equal to the applicable Total Consideration minus the applicable Early Tender Premium.
For Notes that have been validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time and not subsequently validly withdrawn and that are accepted for purchase, Delta has the option for an early settlement to occur on a date to be determined by Delta and which is currently expected to be August 2, 2022, subject to all conditions to the Tender Offer having been satisfied or waived, unless extended or otherwise determined by Delta. For Notes that have been validly tendered after the Early Tender Time but prior to the Expiration Time and that are accepted for purchase, a final settlement will occur on a date to be determined by Delta and which is currently expected to be August 15, 2022, subject to all conditions to the Tender Offer having been satisfied or waived, unless extended or otherwise determined by Delta.
In addition to the Total Consideration or the Tender Offer Consideration, as applicable, all Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer, will, on the applicable settlement date, also receive accrued and unpaid interest in respect of such Notes from the applicable last interest payment date to, but not including, the applicable settlement date.
Subject to the Maximum Tender Amount, the application of the acceptance priority levels above, with "1" having the highest priority and "4" having the lowest priority, and the other terms and conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, Delta intends to accept for purchase all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time. As a result, if the Tender Offer is fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Time, holders that validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Time will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase. Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time will be accepted for purchase in priority to any Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time, even if such Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time have a higher acceptance priority level than the Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time. Accordingly, each holder that validly tenders Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer may have a portion of its Notes returned to it, and the amount of Notes returned will depend on the level of participation of holders in the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer may be subject to proration if the combined aggregate purchase price of Notes that is validly tendered is greater than the Maximum Tender Amount.
Delta has engaged BofA Securities and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. to serve as the Lead Dealer Managers, BNP Paribas Securities Corp., MUFG Securities Americas Inc. and PNC Capital Markets LLC to serve as the Dealer Managers in connection with the Tender Offer and has appointed D.F. King & Co., Inc. to serve as the tender agent and information agent for the Tender Offer. Copies of the Offer to Purchase are available by contacting D.F. King & Co., Inc. via telephone by calling (800) 967-5084 (toll-free) or banks and brokers (212) 269-5550 or by e-mail: dal@dfking.com.

None of Delta, SkyMiles IP Ltd., the guarantors of the SkyMiles Notes, the Dealer Managers, D.F. King & Co., Inc. nor the trustee for any series of Notes, or any of their respective affiliates, is making any recommendation as to whether holders should tender any Notes in response to the Tender Offer.

Global heat records are outpacing cold records by 10-1, data shows
Published: Jul. 18, 2022 at 4:32 PM CDT|Updated: 33 minutes ago
(CNN) - Heat records are far outpacing cold records across the globe so far this year.
It comes as the U.S. and Europe brace for a wave of dangerously high temperatures.
According to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, around the world, 188 all-time heat records have been broken so far in 2022, compared with just 18 cold records.
A climate scientist at Princeton University says the record imbalance is a sign of climate change.
Studies have shown extreme heat will increase in frequency, intensity and duration because of global warming, and that extremes will occur more frequently on the hot side compared to cold.

Reigning World U20 400m champion Imaobong Nse Uko failed to live up to her rising profile, crashing out of the women’s 400m at the first hurdle the same evening another ‘Nigerian’, Rhasidat Adeleke produced a brilliant performance to advance to the 400m semi-finals at the World Athletics Championships in Oregon on Sunday.
While Nse Uko ran 52.80 seconds to finish eighth in heat four, Adeleke ran 51.59 seconds, her second fastest time over the distance so far this year to finish second in the same heat.
The race was won by Olympic silver medallist Marileidy Paulino of the Dominican Republic in 50.76.
The ‘original’ Nigerian had been nursing an undisclosed injury after running 51.89 seconds to exit the 400m stage at the semifinal stage at the NCAA Division 1 championships last month while Adeleke believes she could have done better.

This baaa-utiful homestead has “goat” it all!
A 9,550-square-foot California estate is set on land uniquely landscaped not by human hands, but by a fleet of horned mammals. Yes, goats. The Rancho Santa Fe compound, not to mention the tooth-trimmed land it stands on, will list Monday for $7.69 million.
“The property sits beautifully on a four-acre paradise of citrus groves and tropical greens with plenty of sun-filled vistas to gather, play and rest — truly embodying resort-style living,” Douglas Elliman listing agent Raquel Benguiat told The Post. “The current owners have been goatscaping for a few years to maintain the grounds; one can spend all day watching the goats, they are so much fun!”
The six-bedroom, seven-bathroom mansion has all the goat necessities in place to maintain a small flock of environmentally friendly gardeners, who efficiently and inexpensively help clear hazardous dry brush while fertilizing the soil. The goats, however, are sold separately. (The current owners are open to selling their 15-head herd.)
Inside, amenities include a library, a game room, a bar and a wine cellar.
In addition to the lush, livestock-maintained grounds, the address, at 6655 Primero Izquierdo, also comes with its own tennis court, a heated pool, a sauna, an outdoor kitchen and a detached guest house. It is located within a guard-gated community in close proximity to a number of beaches, golf courses and equestrian centers.
Using goats as lawnmowers has become more mainstream in recent years, with many municipal governments and park-related programs utilizing the furry critters to help clean up overgrowth.
“Grazing goats are a greener, cheaper and very effective way of landscaping,” Nassau County Executive Laura Curran declared in a press release about the community’s Goats on the Go program in 2020.
When Ann Arbor, Mich., decided to outsource the toil of weeding to the four-legged creatures, it didn’t simply contract them like it might with human labor, but held a “goat open house” so residents could meet the hardworking billies themselves. | https://nypost.com/2022/07/18/goatscaped-san-diego-mansion-hits-market-for-7-6m/ | 2022-07-18T22:09:01Z | https://nypost.com/2022/07/18/goatscaped-san-diego-mansion-hits-market-for-7-6m/ | false | 1 |

PHOENIX, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Nikola Corporation (Nasdaq: NKLA), a global leader in zero-emissions transportation and energy infrastructure solutions, today announced that its 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders has been adjourned to August 2, 2022, at 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time to allow stockholders additional time to vote FOR Proposal 2.
Nikola stockholders have voted overwhelmingly in favor of Proposal 2 as more than 208 million shares have been voted in favor. As of July 18, the Company is less than 0.5% short of the outstanding shares needed to be voted in favor for Proposal 2 to pass, which equates to less than 1.6 million shares needed. Approximately 105 million shares have not yet been voted on the proposal.
While the other proposals that have received the necessary vote required only a majority of shares voted, Proposal 2 requires a majority of all outstanding common stock to pass. This means Proposal 2 has a much higher threshold needed for approval. Nikola also has a diverse stockholder base with many investors that hold small positions in the company, making every vote received meaningful.
Nikola is urging ALL stockholders to vote IMMEDIATELY FOR Proposal 2, which would allow Nikola to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock to 800 million, providing the Company greater flexibility to support the future growth and development of the business.
"Thanks to the overwhelming support of our stockholders, we are getting closer to securing the number of votes needed to approve Proposal 2, with less than 1.6 million shares still needed. We urge all stockholders – regardless of the number of shares you own – to vote today and play a role in supporting Nikola's business objectives and advancing our vision of a zero-emissions future," said Mark Russell, Nikola's Chief Executive Officer.
Every single vote matters. Stockholders must ACTIVELY VOTE by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 1, 2022, to ensure their vote is counted. The record date for the adjourned annual meeting continues to be April 4, 2022. No additional action is required for stockholders who have already voted.

What Is GAC Family and Which Hallmark Stars Are Making the Move? Everything to Know
For years, when thinking of holiday movies on TV, Hallmark Channel has been the go-to — mostly because of the team behind it and the celebrities attached. However, GAC Media is giving the network a run for its money.
Former CEO of Crown Media Family Networks (Hallmark Channel’s parent company) Bill Abbott acquired GAC, originally Great American Country, in June 2021. Abbott stepped down from Crown Media in January 2020 following the company’s handling of a commercial featuring a same-sex couple. At the time, a Zola.com ad showed two women exchanging vows and kissing on their wedding day. After conservative groups slammed the ad as not being “family-friendly,” Hallmark pulled it — and caused an uproar. Eventually, Abbott changed his tune and placed the clip back on the network.
The backlash came after years of criticism about Hallmark Channel’s lack of diversity and LGBTQ+ story lines.
“I think that generalization isn’t fair, either, that we just have Christmas with white leads,” Abbott told The Hollywood Reporter in November 2020. “In terms of broadening out the demographic, it’s something we’re always thinking about, always considering and we’ll continue to make the movies where the best scripts are delivered to us and what we think have the most potential.”
The company was split into two brands — GAC Family and GAC Living, both of which launched in September 2021.
GAC Family’s first original series will be season 2 of When Hope Calls, which includes former Hallmark mainstay Lori Loughlin’s return to TV. Season 1 aired on Hallmark Channel in 2019.
In October 2021, GAC Family announced “12 Movies of Christmas,” the network’s holiday celebration, which will feature an original Christmas movie each Saturday night. Following Thanksgiving weekend — which included three nights in a row of original holiday movies — new Christmas programming will air each Saturday and Sunday night throughout December as part of Great American Christmas, GAC Family’s franchise.
When the lineup was announced, many fans realized that some of Hallmark’s staple stars are included — and some are making the move permanently over to GAC Family.

FRANCONIA — Charges against a man accused of threatening police officers and others while intoxicated and wearing a holstered firearm as vendors and customers were leaving Telford Night Market June 29 move to Montgomery County Court.
Body camera footage of the incident was played at a preliminary hearing July 18 before Magisterial District Court Judge Albert Augustine, Harleysville, after which 26-year-old Deion Walters, through his attorney Pat McMenamin, waived his right to the hearing, sending the case to county court.
During the incident, Walters, who rents a home across Penn Avenue from the Telford Night Market, while wearing the exposed handgun and intoxicated, allegedly threatened a family parking in a business’ parking lot on Penn Avenue, police said in arrest documents.
The threats allegedly included Walters saying he would “visit” the family’s home with his “piece,” police said.
Walters had previously been warned, including earlier that evening, following threats to customers and vendors of the market, police said.
Telford and Souderton officers were dispatched at 8:40 p.m. June 29, 10 minutes after the market’s closing time, for a report of an intoxicated man with a firearm in his waistband, police said.
During the incident, he argued with the officers, slapped an officer’s Taser, shoved the officer’s arm, spit at the officer’s feet and “squared up” multiple times, police said.
While walking backward and maintaining eye contact with an officer, Walters stumbled over a potted plant and was Tased and handcuffed, during which time bystanders were threatened, police said.
Walters’ loaded firearm was removed, unloaded and placed in an evidence locker, police said.
“It would have been a justifiable shooting had they shot and killed him,” Telford Police Chief Randy Floyd said at the July 5 Telford Borough Council meeting. “Thank God that did not happen.”
In a department report posted on Facebook, the department said being on your own property does not mean a person can do whatever they want.
“You may drink on your property, you may open carry a firearm on your property, but you cannot threaten others and cause substantial alarm to the public … especially if you leave your property to do this as well. Your yard is not ‘home base’ making you invincible to the police,” the department said.
Walters is charged with aggravated assault, attempting to disarm a law enforcement officer, terroristic threats, recklessly endangering another person, simple assault, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness. He remains free on $25,000 unsecured bail. | https://www.thereporteronline.com/2022/07/18/charges-in-telford-gun-related-case-waived-to-court/ | 2022-07-18T22:16:25Z | https://www.thereporteronline.com/2022/07/18/charges-in-telford-gun-related-case-waived-to-court/ | false | 1 |
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — A building in Columbus, Ohio, partially collapsed Monday afternoon while a firefighter was inside inspecting it.
No injuries were reported in the collapse, including to the firefighter.
A business that operated on the ground floor, at 1032 E. Long St., was closed Monday. The owner of the business lived in a different part of the building, but was not inside when it happened, fire officials said.
Photos and video showed the collapse started along the back wall before a corner of the structure gave way.
Columbus fire and police had multiple units on the scene during and after the collapse.
Chief Jeffrey Geitter of the Columbus Division of Fire said a building inspector was checking another building nearby when he noticed a section of the back wall had given way and called firefighters.
Geitter said the firefighters were checking the building to make sure no one was inside when the collapse occurred, with a back corner falling in on itself. At least two bystanders were recording as it happened. In one of the videos, a firefighter was seen at a window just moments earlier.
“We were lucky that none of our crews were injured,” Geitter said.
The cause of the collapse has yet to be determined.
A Google Maps photo of the building from 2019 showed all of the windows on the collapsed section were boarded up.
Geitter said an emergency demolition order will be secured to tear down the rest of the structure. | https://www.wbtw.com/nexstar-media-wire/video-building-collapses-in-ohio-with-firefighter-inside/ | 2022-07-18T22:20:13Z | https://www.wbtw.com/nexstar-media-wire/video-building-collapses-in-ohio-with-firefighter-inside/ | true | 14 |

AMC and AMC+ debuted the official trailer Monday for the second and final season of the dark genre-bending comedy “Kevin Can F**K Himself,” starring Annie Murphy (“Schitt’s Creek”). Alternating between traditional multicamera sitcom and single-camera drama, the series will return Monday, August 22 with the first two episodes available on AMC+. AMC+ subscribers will have advance access to an additional episode each week.
Set in Worcester, Massachusetts, “Kevin Can F**K Himself” probes the secret life of the prototypical sitcom wife. Allison McRoberts (Murphy) is married to self-centered and “lovable” cable guy Kevin (Eric Petersen), but after a dark discovery, Allison teams up with neighbor Patty O’Connor (Mary Hollis Inboden) to take drastic measures to escape her confines and take control of her life. She’s going to kill Kevin.
But at the end of season one, Neil (Alex Bonifer), — Kevin’s best friend and neighbor and Patty’s brother — learned of their murderous plan and vowed to blow their cover. Now in the show’s final run of new episodes, Allison and Patty scramble to deal with Neil, pushing Allison to find a better way out. Altering the original escape plan, Patty once again agrees to help Allison, but this time, on her own terms.
Brian Howe (“Chicago Fire”) also stars as Kevin’s father Pete, Raymond Lee (“Here and Now”) as Allison’s ex-boyfriend Sam Park, Jamie Denbo (“F Is For Family”) as Allison’s aunt and former boss Diane and Candice Coke (“The Algerian”) as Patty’s girlfriend, Detective Tammy Ridgeway. Erinn Hayes (“Kevin Can Wait,” “Gaslit”) will make a guest appearance in Season 2.
The show first debuted with its first two episodes on AMC+ on June 13, 2021 before the series premiered on linear AMC one week later. Season 1 was comprised of eight episodes, and Season 2 will follow with eight more.
“Kevin Can F**k Himself” is created and executive produced by Valerie Armstrong (“Lodge 49”). Rashida Jones and Will McCormack executive produce through Le Train Train. Craig DiGregorio (“Shrill”) serves as showrunner and executive producer. Sean Clements and Colin Walsh also serve as executive producers. | https://www.thewrap.com/kevin-can-fk-himself-alison-amc-trailer-video/ | 2022-07-18T22:24:10Z | https://www.thewrap.com/kevin-can-fk-himself-alison-amc-trailer-video/ | false | 1 |
Plaid Cymru party chairman quits over Jonathan Edwards MP decision
Alun Ffred Jones has resigned as chairman of Plaid Cymru due to his dissatisfaction with the way the party has dealt with MP Jonathan Edwards.
Jonathan Edwards has been allowed to rejoin the party after being suspended after he accepted a caution for assault two years ago. However, it was recommended that he should continue as an Independent MP rather than as a Plaid Cymru MP.
The Carmarthen East and Dinefwr MP was banned from the party for 12 months in 2020 after receiving a warning from the police about the assault, and he has sat as an independent MP in Westminster ever since.
Alun Ffred Jones resigned over the recommendation by the party’s Executive Committee that Jonathan Edwards should continue as an Independent MP, S4C Newyddion reported.
Gwynedd councillor Beca Brown is now acting chair of the party until an election is held at their annual conference.
A Plaid spokesperson said: “The internal process of determining Mr Edwards’ membership of the Westminster group is yet to be concluded.
“Plaid Cymru wishes to thank Alun Ffred Jones for his many years of unstinting loyalty and service to the party.
“Alun Ffred has chaired the party’s National Executive Committee with dedication and professionalism at all times.”
Plaid’s Membership, Discipline and Standards Committee, which decided to readmit Jonathan Edwards to the party, said its decision “recognises Mr Edwards’ sincere remorse and extended period of self-reflection and learning”.

The Texas Department of Public Safety announced Monday they launched an internal investigation into the response to the May 24 mass shooting at a Uvalde elementary school that left 21 people dead.
The Associated Press reported that the agency launched the review last week.
The agency said in a statement that they are trying to determine if there were any violations of policy, law, or doctrine, the AP reported.
News of the review comes after the Texas House of Representatives released a nearly 80-page report Sunday that revealed "systemic failures" by both state and federal law enforcement, the news outlet reported.
According to the report, the gunman fired approximately 142 rounds inside the school, the AP reported.
More than 400 law enforcement officials, which included 150 U.S. Border Patrol agents and 91 state police officials, rushed to the scene, the Texas Tribune reported.
On Monday, Gov. Greg Abbott reacted to the findings saying that it was "Beyond disturbing and raise serious concerns about the response that day."

Trial begins in death of retired St. Louis police captain
A man accused of killing a retired St. Louis police captain while looting a store during a violent night prompted by racial injustice protests in 2020 is facing trial this week for first-degree murder.
Opening statements were held Monday in the trial of Stephen Cannon, 26, of Glasgow Village, who is accused of killing Capt. David Dorn, who was protecting a friend’s pawn shop during looting on June 2, 2020, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
The shooting came on a night of violence across St. Louis after demonstrations sparked by the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police on May 25, 2020.
Dorn and four officers were shot, officers were pelted with rocks and fireworks, and 55 businesses were burglarized or damaged across St. Louis during the protests.
“Along with the unrest that came — that civil unrest — came chaos,” Chief Trial Assistant Marvin Teer told jurors Monday. “And St. Louis was touched by it, too. ... Our streets were ravaged with looters, with chaos, a pain set ablaze. With that legitimate pain came acts, many of which are unconscionable.”
Dorn, who was 77 when he died, served 38 years on the St. Louis force before working six years as chief in Moline Acres. His wife, Ann Dorn, said her husband often checked on alarms at the pawn shop because he was friends with the owner.
Prosecutors have said Cannon was one of several people looting the store that night. When Dorn arrived, Cannon went to a nearby corner, allegedly with a gun in his hand. Cannon, prosecutors said, was the only person on the corner when shots were fired and Dorn was hit.
Cannon’s attorney, Brian Horneyer, told jurors Monday that no physical evidence linked Cannon to the killing. He also said the state’s main witness, who is also charged with several felonies, told detectives he would say “anything” they wanted for a plea deal and to escape a murder conviction.
Prosecutors are expected to show jurors a Facebook livestream of the aftermath of Dorn’s death outside the store and will call Liddell Chapple, who recorded the video.
“Damn man, over some TVs, cuz? For real? That’s somebody’s granddaddy, cuz!” Chapple shouts on the video. Chapple then turns his phone to Dorn, gasping and bleeding out, and says “Rest in peace, bro. Nothin’ but love, bro. ... You was doing the right thing.”
The trial is expected to last through the week.

A handful of players who were part of the USFL’s return to life this year have signed with NFL teams and the Steelers could be adding one after a tryout on Monday.
Field Yates of ESPN reports that the team had five defensive linemen in for workouts. They are Doug Costin, Freedom Akinmoladun, Domenique Davis, Dondrea Tillman, and Willie Yarbary.
Costin had 33 tackles for the Jaguars in 13 games before landing with Birmingham this season and Akinmoladun has seen limited action with the Jets and Bengals over the last three seasons. Davis, Tillman, and Yarbary have not played any regular season games in the NFL.
The Steelers recently placed defensive tackle Daniel Archibong on the retired list and Stephon Tuitt also retired this offseason. The team signed Larry Ogunjobi after Tuitt’s retirement and appear set to make another addition to the group.

'It's been devastating': Chicago man, whose wife Hannah Hayes was killed in a hit-and-run, says she was an activist who cared for everyone
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Only On 2
The husband of a woman killed in a hit-and-run said the crime not only broke his heart, but robbed the city of a great advocate for public high school students.
The crash happened at 49th and Drexel in the Kenwood neighborhood. The victim's husband tells CBS 2's Tim McNicholas that police believe the car had just been stolen.
"This was her idea." Jesse
Jesse Sinaiko and his wife Hannah Hayes just finished this backyard garden two weeks ago. It's one more thing Jesse wanted to enjoy with his wife for years to come, but now, he can't.
"It's symbolic of what happens when people are taken from you suddenly. It's like everything just freezes. It stops," Sinaiko said.
Hannah was on her way home last Monday after visiting a friend who was ill at Christ Medical Center.
She wanted to cheer them up.
Just a couple blocks from home, at 49th and Drexel, a speeding Lexus blew through a stop sign and slammed into her car around 9:00. pm.
Police said the people in the Lexus, seen in security images, got out and ran. Hannah, a loving wife and mom to a 26-year-old named Zachary, did not survive the crash.
"Huge hearted, just a marvelous person who cared for everyone and everything. Made friends quickly. So it's been devastating."
Hannah was an activist who spent years fighting to improve the city. In the 80s, she worked on both of Mayor Harold Washington's campaigns.
Most recently, she was on the local school council for Reavis Elementary, where she and a group of volunteers built a library in an empty classroom.
"She spent her life working for young people in disadvantaged situations," Sinaiko said, adding that if she had a chance to talk to the men in that car, she would have wanted to help them.
"I think that's right. She would have said maybe we can find something else for you to do."
Now, the school is naming that library after Hannah. It's a fitting tribute to a woman who dedicated her life trying to improve the lives of others.
Police are still looking for those people who ran from that car. Sinaiko said detectives told him the Lexus the were in had been stolen earlier that night.

GREENWOOD, Ind. (WXIN) — The mother of a 12-year-old girl hit by a bullet fragment during Sunday’s deadly shooting at Indiana’s Greenwood Park Mall spoke with Nexstar’s WXIN on Monday.
Alison Dick said her three daughters were at the mall with their grandmother when the shooting happened. Her daughters relayed their experiences to her.
“Something dropped first, and then the bullets started,” said Alison. “They just reacted so fast. They did see the big gun, and they knew that portion, and then that’s when they knew to just bolt.”
The family was separated when chaos erupted.
Police say the gunman went into a restroom at 4:54 p.m. and emerged an hour and two minutes later and began shooting.
“My two girls were running in one direction, and then my mother and other daughter were at Subway getting food, and they dropped to their knees and were crawling away.”
An armed 22-year-old good Samaritan shot and killed the gunman, according to police.
Alison said she was “hysterical” when she learned of the shooting.
“Longest probably 10 minutes of my life because they were all over there at the mall,” she recounted.
Alison said a worker at the mall helped her girls by letting them in her car and loaning them her phone.
When she was reunited with her daughters, Alison noticed her 12-year-old was in pain.
“I went to go hug Bella, she kept saying, ‘My back hurts, my back hurts, no, no,’ and I pulled back, and as I pulled back you can see she had a piece of metal coming out of her back.”
Bella had a bullet fragment in her back, but didn’t know it at the time.
“All you can think of is, ‘It’s in her spine, it’s in her spine,” recalled Alison.
Thankfully, Bella is expected to be OK.
“It was superficial, so it was not lodged in any bone or anything, and they were able to remove it right away, so she should be fine,” said Alison. She will be on antibiotics for the next week but will not need stitches, just a bandage.
“We are so, so grateful, so grateful, and I feel so horrible for the people who did not get to have their family under their roof last night, and we did. We’re so lucky, so lucky,” expressed Alison.
Alison was also thankful for the Bartholomew County man who shot the gunman.
“I know from what the chief of police told me that the shooting began and stopped really fast only because that good Samaritan had his gun on him and shot him,” said Alison. “He saved countless lives. This guy would’ve kept shooting, and there would’ve been so many people killed.”
Three people were killed in the shooting: Pedro Pineda, 56, of Indianapolis and his wife Rosa Mirian Rivera de Pineda, 37, and Victor Gomez, 30, of Indianapolis.
Alison says her family is exploring counseling for the children.
“I definitely think that is going to end up being an option for us, just as a mother just making sure they can get out what they want to,” Alison said. “They can talk to me about stuff, but they might feel more comfortable saying something to someone else.”
Alison discussed her children’s return to school.
“I’ve already talked to my girls, and they start school next week, and I’m scared for them. They have to go to school, and what if that happens there? And I guess that’s what I assumed, if they were going to go through any experience like that, I assumed it would be school-related, not mall-related. Anywhere, anywhere, it doesn’t matter where you are, it doesn’t matter. Nowhere is safe right now, and it’s so sad, so sad.” | https://www.wkbn.com/news/national-world/mother-of-12-year-old-girl-injured-at-indiana-mall-shooting-speaks-out/ | 2022-07-18T22:38:59Z | https://www.wkbn.com/news/national-world/mother-of-12-year-old-girl-injured-at-indiana-mall-shooting-speaks-out/ | true | 23 |
Christchurch will have its new multi-use arena and will pay for it as far as Ashburton's chief executive understands.
The Christchurch City Council voted to increase the budget for its multi-purpose arena, Te Kaha, to $683 million, entering into a fixed price design and construction contract with lead contractor BESIX Watpac, protecting it from the risk of further cost escalations.
There have been suggestions that the rest of Canterbury help pay for it, but Ashburton District Council chief executive, Hamish Riach, believes the decision has locked it in as a city council-funded project.
"The Christchurch City Council decision to proceed has not required a contribution from any other council, so that says to me the city council has agreed to fund the full $683m," Riach said.

"It could come to other councils in the future and seek contributions to lessen their own costs, but as far as I can tell the decision to proceed has been made regardless of any of that."
Whether the city council will still ask its neighbours is yet to be determined, but finding options to produce any additional funding that doesn't lump it all on its own ratepayers will be on the city council agenda.
One solution is to turn other council's ratepayers into spades to dig themselves out the financial hole.
Speaking at the city council's meeting, former city councillor Helen Broughton said there needed to be a targeted rate across other councils in Canterbury to help pay the extra $150 million needed for the stadium.
But stating an idea does not simply make it happen, and even if the city council does eventually ask its neighbours for financial assistance, it doesn't mean it will receive it.
Riach said if any request did eventuate it would require public consultation before any decision was made.
"If other councils like Ashburton were to be asked in the future, that request would have to go into our planning processes and involve consultation with our community."
Ashburton has just adopted its 2022-23 Annual Plan and won't be preparing the next Annual Plan for consultation until around March, so theoretically if a request was made Riach said that would presumably be the earliest it could discuss it with the community.

Advertise with NZME.Selwyn Mayor Sam Broughton maintains that while he was open to any discussion there has been no request for it to take place yet.
"Selwyn's position remains that we are open to considering any request for funding for the stadium, but no formal request has been received so far," Broughton said.
"Any contribution from Selwyn would have to be subject to consultation with our community – but this needs to be a Canterbury-wide conversation. We would expect that a discussion about economic and other impacts across the region would be part of that process." | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/christchurch-stadium-neighbours-say-city-has-locked-in-payment-with-no-contribution-requested-from-others/XAFJUG2LMZUHLLTLQW5D4UILXQ/ | 2022-07-18T22:42:16Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/christchurch-stadium-neighbours-say-city-has-locked-in-payment-with-no-contribution-requested-from-others/XAFJUG2LMZUHLLTLQW5D4UILXQ/ | false | 3 |
NORTH WILKESBORO (AP) — Two people have been arrested in connection with a North Carolina shooting in which one person was killed and two people were wounded, a sheriff's office said.
News outlets report deputies with the Wilkes County Sheriff’s Office went to a home in the county at around 5:30 a.m. on Sunday. Upon arriving, they found three shooting victims, one of whom was dead. A man and a woman found wounded at the scene were taken to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries, the sheriff's office said.
Police say that a burgundy Chevrolet Impala had left the scene before officers arrived, and officers with the North Wilkesboro Police Department chased the car until they stopped it.
Authorities arrested Stacy Elizabeth Miller, 33, and charged her with murder among a number of charges. James Louis Robinson, 54, was charged with murder and accessory after the fact of murder.
Miller and Robinson are jailed without bond. Both were appointed attorneys during a court appearance on Monday, but neither could be reached for comment. | https://www.carolinacoastonline.com/regional/article_f4d9177a-06d7-11ed-91f3-cff82a1ef6a6.html | 2022-07-18T22:42:59Z | https://www.carolinacoastonline.com/regional/article_f4d9177a-06d7-11ed-91f3-cff82a1ef6a6.html | false | 12 |

NTSB: Dad, not boy, was driving truck that hit golfers' van
DALLAS — (AP) — A Texas man, not his 13-year-old son, was driving the pickup truck that crossed into the oncoming lane and struck a van carrying New Mexico college golfers, killing nine people, and he had methamphetamine in his system, investigators said Thursday.
The National Transportation Safety Board said two days after the March 15 collision in rural West Texas that its early findings suggested that the 13-year-old was driving the pickup that struck the van carrying University of the Southwest students and their coach back to Hobbs, New Mexico, from a golf tournament in Midland. But the NTSB said in a preliminary report released Thursday that DNA testing confirmed that the father, 38-year-old Henrich Siemens, was driving and that toxicological testing showed the presence of methamphetamine in Siemens' blood.
“This was a very difficult investigation to determine some of the facts based on the catastrophic nature of the damage and the post-crash fire," Robert Molloy, the NTSB’s director of highway safety, said at a news conference.
Siemens and his son died in the crash along with six members of the men's and women's golf teams and their coach, who was driving the van, which was towing a cargo trailer.
Molloy said they are still analyzing the toxicological report and that although they know methamphetamine can affect driver performance, it’s too early to say whether it was a contributing factor in the crash.
Investigators are still working to determine the probable cause of the crash, and Molloy said he didn’t expect a final report until next year.
The collision happened at about 8:17 p.m. in Andrews County, which is roughly 30 miles (50 kilometers) east of Texas' border with New Mexico.
In the days after the crash, the NTSB had said that the truck's left front tire blew before impact. But it said Thursday that so far, investigators haven't found evidence of a loss in tire pressure or any other indicators that the tire failed.
The NTSB said the road they were traveling on consisted of a northbound lane and southbound lane. Near the crash site, the roadway was straight but there was no highway lighting.
The speed limit on the road was 75 mph (120 kph), but Molloy said they have not yet determined the vehicles’ speeds at the time of the crash.
Those killed in the van were coach Tyler James, 26, of Hobbs, New Mexico; and golfers Mauricio Sanchez, 19, of Mexico; Travis Garcia, 19, of Pleasanton, Texas; Jackson Zinn, 22, of Westminster, Colorado; Karisa Raines, 21, of Fort Stockton, Texas; Laci Stone, 18, of Nocona, Texas; and Tiago Sousa, 18, of Portugal.
Two other students who were in the van were seriously injured.
Most of the students were freshman who were getting their first taste of life away from home at the private Christian university with enrollment numbering in the hundreds. Those who knew James, the coach, said it had been his goal to be a head coach, and he was excited to be there.
The crash was the latest tragedy for the Siemens family, who lived in Seminole, Texas, a rural community of around 7,500 people, some of whom first relocated to the area in the 1970s with other Mennonite families who started farming and ranching operations. Community members had rallied around Siemens and his wife months earlier when a fire that started in the kitchen destroyed the home where they had lived for a decade.

MADURAI: The GST on food products was strongly opposed by the Agrofood Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI), Madurai, as it would adversely affect the traders.
Despite stiff opposition to the proposal to levy GST on essential day-to-day food commodities consumed by all families, the Central Government, on the recommendations of the GST Council, already issued notifications bringing essential food products, including rice, flour, chenna, paneer, curd, buttermilk, jaggery, khandsari sugar, maize etc., under the ambit of GST with effect from July 18, 2022, S Rethinavelu, president, ACCI, Madurai said.
The Group of Ministers (GoM) nominated by the GST council, had not heard the opinion of trade and industry before recommending upward revision in tax rates for a number of goods and services.
Hence, the Chamber felt that this is the most opportune time for the state government to follow the Supreme Court judgment passed on May 19, 2022 that the recommendations of the GST council were not binding on the Union or state governments reiterating the states’ right to legislate on taxation.
Citing these, he requested CM MK Stalin to announce that TN would not accept the GST Council levying tax on essential food items so that other states would follow suit.

Dr. Anthony Fauci says he will step down from his current position before the end of President Biden's term, but is far from making an official announcement.
Fauci, the chief medical adviser to the president and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has said before that there is a "finite element to his tenure," but an interview with Politico sparked reports of retirement for the nation's top infectious disease expert.
Fauci told NPR that when asked about his current position, he told Politico that he doesn't see himself in the job past the end of Biden's first term in January 2025.
"I plan to step down from my current position sometime between now and then and to go on and pursue other directions in my professional career," Fauci said. "That has somehow been interpreted as my announcing my retirement. When I do decide on the date of stepping down I will make a formal announcement."
Fauci, 81, told NPR that does not have an exact date in mind for his decision but that it may come "sooner rather than later." As for what's next, he said he is not sure what he will do after leaving his position partially because he hasn't decided when he will be leaving.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — A building in Columbus, Ohio, partially collapsed Monday afternoon while a firefighter was inside inspecting it.
No injuries were reported in the collapse, including to the firefighter.
A business that operated on the ground floor, at 1032 E. Long St., was closed Monday. The owner of the business lived in a different part of the building, but was not inside when it happened, fire officials said.
Photos and video showed the collapse started along the back wall before a corner of the structure gave way.
Columbus fire and police had multiple units on the scene during and after the collapse.
Chief Jeffrey Geitter of the Columbus Division of Fire said a building inspector was checking another building nearby when he noticed a section of the back wall had given way and called firefighters.
Geitter said the firefighters were checking the building to make sure no one was inside when the collapse occurred, with a back corner falling in on itself. At least two bystanders were recording as it happened. In one of the videos, a firefighter was seen at a window just moments earlier.
“We were lucky that none of our crews were injured,” Geitter said.
The cause of the collapse has yet to be determined.
A Google Maps photo of the building from 2019 showed all of the windows on the collapsed section were boarded up.

Uvalde father who lost only child in shooting reacts to leaked surveillance video
UVALDE, Texas ( NEXSTAR ) — On almost every wall of Alfred Garza III’s home are photos of his 10-year-old daughter, Amerie Jo.
It’s been almost two months since she was taken from him, but for the first time on Tuesday, he saw the surveillance video from inside Robb Elementary when the May 24 shooting happened.
That caught him off guard and upset him, since he was expecting a private viewing with other families on Sunday before it was publicly released.
“It was kind of hard to hear the rounds firing, knowing where those bullets went,” Garza said.
Video shows moment Uvalde officer learns his wife was shot, Texas rep. saysNexstar’s Texas Capitol Correspondent Jala Washington asked Garza if he’s glad the video was released early.
“It’s a double-edged sword,” Garza said. “I was anticipating for stuff like this to happen. I kind of hate it, that bits and pieces are coming out, because I would like to see the puzzle as a whole without pieces missing. Because when stuff like this comes out, kind of everybody draws their own conclusions as to why this happened.”
Maybe most upsetting for him was seeing how many officers were in the school for as long as they were before the shooter was killed.
“They took an oath to serve and protect, and I feel somebody should have taken initiative and said, ‘hey, we got to do something now,'” Garza said.
Uvalde video raises more calls for police accountabilityAs questions go unanswered for now, Uvalde’s mayor said the video shouldn’t have been released before families could view it.
“It’s one of the most chicken things I’ve ever seen,” Mayor Don McLaughlin said. “Yes, I wanted the video released, but all these media outlets knew that we were working with the House Committee.”
Garza just wants to keep being a voice for his Amerie.
“I’m trying to let the process work itself out,” Garza said. “And so that way I can get, you know, the solutions. We still have a lot of children that need to go back to school, that want to go back to school. And parents are scared to send them.”
Uvalde mayor: Release of surveillance video among ‘most chicken things’ he’s seenThe Texas House Committee investigating the shooting still plans to share the video and their preliminary report with family members on Sunday.
Those lawmakers said their report will have more context, like the fact that one of the officers seen on his phone was trying to contact his wife, Eva Mireles, one of the teachers inside who died. According to El Paso State Rep. Joe Moody, his wife texted him saying she had been shot and was dying.

Republicans warm to $52B computer chip bill, adding momentum
Key Republicans are warming up to passing a bill that provides roughly $52 billion in incentives for the semiconductor industry
Key Republicans are warming up to passing a bill that provides roughly $52 billion in incentives for the semiconductor industry now that Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia has quashed the idea of imposing higher taxes on the rich and corporations as part of a separate Democratic-only effort.
Three weeks ago, the computer chips bill looked like it could be in trouble despite having bipartisan support. That's when Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said there would be no such bill as long as Democrats pursued what he called a “partisan reconciliation bill." But Manchin's decision to dramatically narrow the Democratic effort and axe the tax hikes appears to have opened the window for Republican cooperation on semiconductors.
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who endorsed McConnell’s approach, said on the Senate floor Monday that Manchin’s announcement on taxes means “we’re in a posture where we can go forward with the chips funding and other related provisions.”
“I hope we will be able to take action on that in the coming days," Cornyn said.
The Biden administration is pressing Congress to move quickly on the semiconductor legislation before they leave for their month-long August recess. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said that chipmakers are making decisions now about where they need to locate plants to keep up with global demand, and that foreign competitors are courting those companies with financial aid.
“It does nothing to protect the United States economy or national security to have another fab or manufacturing facility located somewhere else around the world," Cornyn said. “We need them here."
The bill coming before the Senate this week is much narrower than legislation that both chambers had passed this Congress. The stripped-down measure contains the $52 billion in financial incentives and research, plus another $1.5 billion for a fund that would encourage competition to companies like Huawei in building 5G networks. The bill will also institute a 25% investment tax credit for investments in semiconductor manufacturing.
The legislation would also prohibit aid recipients from expanding or building new manufacturing plans for certain advanced semiconductors in China or another foreign country of concern, according to a draft of the legislation obtained by The Associated Press.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told senators Monday that he wants lawmakers from the House and Senate to continue working on a broader bill to boost the semiconductor industry and scientific research in the U.S., but for now, he plans to hold the first procedural vote on the narrower measure Tuesday. He said manufacturers are “not going to wait around forever."
"Countless of good paying American jobs are on the line. Billions of dollars in economic activity are on the line. And as I said, our very national security is at stake," Schumer said.
The Biden administration has touted the financial incentives for the computer chip industry as a way to create jobs in the U.S. while also relieving inflation pressures in the long-term on automobiles, computers and other high-tech products that rely on computer chips.

(NEXSTAR) – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is warning a virus that can cause serious illness or death in newborn babies is circulating in “multiple states” after it killed a baby boy in Connecticut.
The parechovirus, or PeV, is common in children – most kids will get it by the time they’re in kindergarten, according to the CDC – but it can have grave consequences for infants younger than 3 months old.
In older kids, between 6 months and 5 years old, the virus can cause an upper respiratory infection, fever, and rashes. But in very young infants, it can cause “sepsis-like illness, seizures, and meningitis,” the CDC says. Babies under 1-month-old are the most vulnerable.
The virus can be spread by people who are symptomatic and asymptomatic, according to the CDC. There are two main ways of transmitting the parechovirus: the respiratory route (like coughing or sneezing) and the oral-fecal route. The latter is a more common way young kids spread viruses, as invisible bacteria or viruses from one child’s stool makes it into the mouth of someone else.
The parechovirus is more common in summer and fall.
In the warning issued last week, the CDC urges doctors and health care providers to test for parechovirus if an infant has an unexplained fever, sepsis-like syndrome, or neurological problems like seizure and meningitis.
“Since May 2022, CDC has received reports from healthcare providers in multiple states of PeV infections in neonates and young infants,” the agency wrote. It did not specify how many states or which states the virus has been found in.
One state where the virus has been confirmed is Connecticut, where it took the life of 34-day-old Ronan DeLancy. At 10 days old, “his parents noticed he was fussy, appeared tired, stopped feeding and had a rash,” according to Hartford HealthCare, but his pediatrician said Ronan was probably just colicky.
“Still concerned, the DeLancys brought Ronan to the hospital. His oxygen levels dropped rapidly and he began to have seizures. An MRI showed brain damage and testing revealed that he had parechovirus,” Hartford HealthCare wrote in a post warning of the dangers of the virus.
“Over the last five years, we’ve begun to realize that through mutations and more virulent subtypes, these viruses, particularly parechovirus, can be fatal,” said Andrew Wong, MD, a primary care provider the hospital group. If not fatal, it can cause lifelong debilities such as neuromuscular weakness and developmental delays.” The CDC says those types of long-term neurological issues are rare.
“There is no specific treatment for PeV infection,” the CDC adds in its warning. “However, diagnosing PeV in infants might change management strategies and provide important health information for families.” | https://www.wearecentralpa.com/trending/cdc-warns-virus-that-can-cause-seizures-death-in-infants-circulating-in-multiple-states/ | 2022-07-18T23:11:01Z | https://www.wearecentralpa.com/trending/cdc-warns-virus-that-can-cause-seizures-death-in-infants-circulating-in-multiple-states/ | false | 23 |
(EDITORIAL from Korea Herald on July 19)
Judicial risk
Lee to run for Democratic Party leader after little self-reflection as probes draw near
Rep. Lee Jae-myung, the former presidential candidate of the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea, declared his bid for the party chairmanship on Sunday.
The Democratic Party plans to hold a national convention on Aug. 28 to elect a new leader.
He said that he would change the party's politics and that the beginning of that is to make it a winning party. Lee also said that if he fails to lead the party to victory in the next general elections, his calling of the times would end, too.
This is understood to mean that he would give up running for a president again. But he was ambiguous about the standard of a victory in the next general elections in April 2024. If he will do as he said remains to be seen.
His bid for party leadership comes just about four months after his defeat in the March 9 presidential election.
Opponents within the party called for him not to run to take responsibility for the defeat not only in the presidential election but also June's nationwide local elections. Lee chaired the party's overall campaign committee for local polls.
His run for party leader was viewed as a done deal when he ran in parliamentary by-elections held together with the June 1 local elections.
He joined the race for a vacated Assembly seat in Gyeyang-gu, Incheon, a district where the party has a strong support base, despite having no connections at all there.
A by-election was held in a district in Bundang-gu, Seongnam, as well. Naturally, he was expected to run here, because he did not only live in Bundang but also had a career as Seongnam mayor and Gyeonggi provincial governor. But he bore shame to move to a district without connections, only for the nearly certain chance of being elected.
His political steps are not likely to stop at his challenge for party leadership. He seems to be targeting the next presidential election after taking the helm of the party.
Opinion polls show Lee leading other potential candidates by a wide margin. And yet he faces rough sailing on his political path. The party is concerned about his "judicial risk" of being indicted. After all, his risk will become the party's risk if he takes its leadership.
He has been dogged by allegations that broke out ahead of the presidential election. Seongnam Football Club is suspected of receiving dubious sponsorship when he was Seongnam mayor. His wife allegedly used government payment cards privately when he was Gyeonggi Province governor.
Investigations by prosecutors and police are said to be moving closer to Lee. They are expected to summon him for questioning sooner or later, possibly before the party's convention.
The nation was jolted last year by allegations that Seongman gave huge favors to several small investors in the city's Daejang-dong land development project when he was its mayor. Investigations and a trial concerning this case are underway.
Lee argues the probe of allegations involving him is "political retaliation" by the current administration, but the truth must be found, regardless of political gains or losses from investigations. Investigations to find out whether he is implicated in crimes look inevitable.
It is reasonable to get to the bottom of allegations through investigations and trials. His political status -- as a member of the National Assembly or the party leader in case he is elected at its convention -- must not be considered.
In declaring his bid for party leadership, he admitted that he is the most responsible for the party's defeats in the latest presidential and local elections.
Generally, a loser moves off to the rear and has a considerable time for self-reflection. But just about four months after being defeated in the presidential election, he came forward vowing to lead the party to victory. It is senseless and unconvincing. Furthermore, he carries judicial risks.
People have already rendered their judgment on Lee and the Democratic Party. It is questionable if the party read public sentiment properly, far from reflecting on themselves.
