PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — In the central Oregon city of Bend, the sole Planned Parenthood clinic serving the eastern half of the state is bracing for an influx of patients, particularly from neighboring Idaho, where a trigger law banning most abortions is expected to take effect this summer.
“We’ve already started hiring,” said Joanna Dennis-Cook, the Bend Health Center Manager.
Across the U.S. West, many abortion providers serving rural areas were already struggling to meet demand in a vast region where staffing shortages and long travel distances are barriers to reproductive services for women. Oregon alone is larger geographically than the entire United Kingdom.
Some facilities serving rural communities in states where abortion remains legal worry those pre-existing challenges could be further compounded by the overturning of Roe v. Wade, as more patients travel from states where the procedure is banned or greatly restricted.
Anticipating an abortion ban in Idaho, Oregon lawmakers earlier this year created a $15 million fund to increase access to abortion services.
Northwest Abortion Access Fund, a nonprofit that helps patients pay for travel and the procedure itself, has been tapped to receive the first $1 million. NWAAF has worked with the Bend clinic for 20 years, and they are collaborating to meet the needs of a growing number of patients.
Dennis-Cook says her clinic is providing additional training for staff and modifying schedules “to ensure that we can accommodate increases in patient numbers” as more people travel farther for care.
Before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, 20% of U.S. women already had to travel at least 42 miles to reach the nearest abortion clinic, according to 2014 data analyzed by the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that supports abortion rights, which published its findings in The Lancet Public Health. Across much of eastern Oregon, that distance can jump to nearly 180 miles. As more states move to enact trigger bans on abortion, distances could increase further for many patients.
Dennis-Cook says the Bend health center has been seeing patients coming from as far away as Texas.
Bend’s clinic has six exam rooms and receives about 600 visits per month. As it is “on the smaller side,” Dennis-Cook said it is “limited” in what it can provide.
“We only do first trimester procedures here,” she explained. She added the clinic can’t do procedures involving general anesthesia. “We don’t have a plethora of nurses who can do that type of work to draw from.”
Smaller abortion clinics, particularly ones in rural areas, have historically grappled with shortages of staff and doctors who can perform the procedure. This in turn affects scheduling availability.
Amidst growing demand for travel funds, NWAAF has already exhausted its planned operating budgets for this year, according to Riley Keane, a Practical Support Lead for the group.
“Last year we gave away about $1 million all told,” Keane explained, referring to grants given to clinics to cover abortion costs and travel funds provided to patients. She said this year NWAAF is “on track to double that potentially.”
Keane expects the $1 million from Oregon’s new abortion access fund will make “a huge difference” for NWAAF, which normally relies on individual donors. She says this year marks the first time the group is receiving government money.
NWAAF says it is concerned about providing travel funds to patients in states where abortion is banned or greatly restricted, but added it is working with legal professionals to assess the shifting landscape.
“They keep us up to date on things we need to be concerned about,” Keane said.
In response to laws such as those passed in Texas allowing private individuals to sue abortion providers, the governors of Oregon, Washington and California announced a joint commitment to protect patients and doctors “against judicial and local law enforcement cooperation with out-of-state investigations, inquiries and arrests.”
The three Democratic governors also said they will refuse “extradition of individuals for criminal prosecution” for receiving or supporting abortion services that are legal in their states.
NWAAF’s service region includes Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Alaska.
Keane says NWAAF will continue its work for now. “Currently, our legal advisers haven’t told us that we need to stop operating,” she said. | https://www.koin.com/local/bend-planned-parenthood-braces-for-influx-of-patients-from-idaho/ | 2022-07-04T22:23:24Z | https://www.koin.com/local/bend-planned-parenthood-braces-for-influx-of-patients-from-idaho/ | false |

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — The Latest from Wimbledon (all times local):
___
6:45 p.m.
Ajla Tomljanovic came from a set down to beat Alize Cornet and reach her second straight Wimbledon quarterfinal.
The Australian won 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 on No. 2 Court to set up a meeting with Elena Rybakina, and was in tears after a grueling match that lasted 2 hours, 35 minutes.
“I didn’t really think I could do it,” said Tomljanovic, who lost to eventual champion Ash Barty in last year’s quarterfinals. “I can’t believe a year later I’m in the same position.”
The 32-year-old Cornet ended No. 1 Iga Swiatek’s 37-match winning streak in the previous round. The French veteran was playing in her 62nd straight Grand Slam tournament — equaling the WTA record held by Ai Sugiyama — and 65th overall, but only reached her first major quarterfinal at the Australian Open this year.
___
6:25 p.m.
Simona Halep is living up to her status as the only former Grand Slam champion left in this year’s women’s draw.
The Romanian beat fourth-seeded Paula Badosa 6-1, 6-2 on Centre Court to return to the Wimbledon quarterfinals and extend her winning streak at the All England Club to 11 matches.
The 16th-seeded Halep won the title in 2019 but missed last year’s edition with an injury, while the 2020 tournament was canceled because of the pandemic. This was, however, Halep’s first win over a top-five ranked player on grass.
The former No. 1, who also won the French Open in 2018, has yet to drop a set in this year’s tournament and consistently got the better of Badosa in the baseline rallies. She finished with only nine unforced errors and saved the only break point she faced.
Badosa’s loss means No. 3 Ons Jabeur is the only top-10 seed left in the women’s tournament.
___
5:05 p.m.
Taylor Fritz made sure there will be an American man in the Wimbledon quarterfinals.
After three of his countrymen lost in the fourth round, the 11th-seeded Fritz ended that streak by beating qualifier Jason Kubler 6-3, 6-1, 6-4 to reach the last eight of a Grand Slam for the first time.
“I’m glad I could get the win on the Fourth of July, being an American,” Fritz said in an on-court interview.
It was Fritz’s eighth straight victory on grass after winning a warmup tournament in Eastbourne.
He will next face either Rafael Nadal or Botic van de Zandschulp.

4:55 p.m.
Nick Kyrgios is back in the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the first time since making his debut in 2014 after improving his record in five-set matches at the All England Club to 6-0.
Kyrgios overcame an ailing shoulder and a fourth-set slump to beat 20-year-old American Brandon Nakashima 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (2), 3-6, 6-2 on Centre Court.
Kyrgios needed treatment on his right shoulder several times during the match and was broken two straight times in the fourth set.
But he raced out to a 5-1 lead in the fifth and converted his first match point with a forehand volley.
Despite the troublesome shoulder, Kyrgios finished with 35 aces. And there was little in terms of antics or arguments from the Australian, unlike his previous match against Stefanos Tsitsipas, when he repeatedly argued loudly with the chair umpire and was accused by his opponent of showing a lack of respect.
Kyrgios also needed five sets to get past Paul Jubb in the first round. He will next face another unseeded player, Cristian Garin of Chile, who came from two sets down to beat Alex de Minaur.
___
3:45 p.m.
Cristian Garin came from two sets down and saved two match points in the fifth before beating Alex de Minaur to reach his first Grand Slam quarterfinal.
The unseeded Chilean trailed 5-3 in the first-to-10 fifth-set tiebreaker before winning six straight points to take a 9-5 lead. He then converted his second match point to advance 2-6, 5-7, 7-6 (3), 6-4, 7-6 (6) on No. 2 Court after 4 hours, 34 minutes.
He is the first Chilean man to reach a Grand Slam quarterfinal since Fernando Gonzalez in 2009.
The 19th-seeded De Minaur had never lost a set against Garin in three previous meetings and looked set to maintain that streak when he led 3-1 in the third-set tiebreaker. The Australian then held two match points at 5-4 in the fifth.
___
2:35 p.m.
Elena Rybakina is into the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the first time after beating Petra Martic 7-5, 6-3 on No. 1 Court.
The 17th-seeded Rybakina broke in the final game of the first set and then again for a 4-2 lead in the second. She finished with 26 winners to 13 for her opponent.
Rybakina reached the French Open quarterfinals last year, when she made the fourth round at Wimbledon in her first appearance at the All England Club. Martic was playing Wimbledon for the 10th time but has never been past the fourth round.
Rybakina will next play either Alize Cornet or Ajla Tomljanovic.
___
11 a.m.
Former Wimbledon champions Simona Halep and Rafael Nadal will both play on Centre Court after Nick Kyrios opens the day against American player Brandon Nakashima.
All will be trying to reach the quarterfinals at the All England Club.
Halep won the Wimbledon title in 2019. The 16th-seeded Romanian will take on fourth-seeded Paula Badosa. Nadal, who is seeded second, will play in the final match in the main stadium against Botic van de Zandschulp.
Harmony Tan, the woman who beat seven-time Wimbledon champion Serena Williams in the first round, will take on 20th-seeded Amanda Anisimova of the United States on No. 1 Court.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — A gunman who killed three people when he opened fire in a crowded shopping mall acted alone and apparently selected his victims at random, Danish police said Monday, all but ruling out that the attack was related to terrorism.
Authorities filed preliminary charges of murder and attempted murder against a 22-year-old Danish man, who will be held for 24 days in a secure mental health facility while authorities investigate the crime, prosecutor Soren Harbo told reporters.
After the custody hearing, defense lawyer Luise Hoj said she agreed to have her client undergo a mental exam. She did not comment on the charges. Police have said the man was known to mental health service without elaborating.
Police have not identified a motive for Sunday’s attack inside one of Scandinavia’s biggest shopping centers. The suspect, carrying a rifle and knife, was quickly arrested, and Copenhagen chief police inspector Soren Thomassen said the man also had access to another gun. He said the firearms were obtained illegally but gave no further details.
“It was the worst possible nightmare,” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Monday, calling the attack “unusually brutal.”
The three killed were a 17-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl, both Danes, and a 47-year-old Russian man, according to Thomassen. Four more people were hospitalized with gunshot wounds and were in critical but stable condition. In all, around two dozen people were hurt, most in the panicked stampede after the shots rang out at the Field’s shopping center, on the outskirts of the Danish capital.
Gun violence is relatively rare in Denmark. The last shooting on this scale was in February 2015, when a 22-year-old man was killed in a shootout with police after an attack in the capital that left two people dead and five police officers wounded.
The suspect, who cannot be named by court order, was brought before a judge Monday in a packed courtroom to face three preliminary charges of murder and four of attempted murder.
That’s a step short of formal charges but allow authorities to keep a person in custody during an investigation.
When the court ruled that the hearing should be held behind close doors, the media were sent out. It wasn’t immediately clear how the suspect pleaded. He will remain in custody until July 28, police said.
While authorities have said there is no indication that anyone helped the man, Copenhagen police inspector Dannie Rise said the investigation would be complicated.
“We need to put together this jigsaw puzzle,” Rise said. “And it is huge.”
Earlier, Thomassen said police had discovered nothing so far “that can substantiate that this is an act of terrorism.” He has identified the man as an “ethnic Dane,” a phrase typically used to mean someone is white. | https://www.bostonherald.com/2022/07/04/motive-likely-not-terror-related-in-brutal-danish-shooting/ | 2022-07-04T22:27:20Z | https://www.bostonherald.com/2022/07/04/motive-likely-not-terror-related-in-brutal-danish-shooting/ | false |
GRAPEVINE, Texas — For more than seven months, Wes Milner kept getting reports of a dog near Grapevine Lake that would pop up late at night or in early mornings but would flee anytime someone got close.
“There was a dog going through the trash at Whataburger,” Milner, a Grapevine animal services officer, said. “The photos that we got and the video that we got was really blurry.”
They started in June of 2021, and Milner would set traps, feeding areas and cameras and still only caught glimpses.
“He would see the trap, and he would bark at it. He did not want anything to do with it. He was smart. He would paw at the back of it,” he said. “He just vanished like a ghost, and I was like, ‘ok, game’s on now buddy’.”
He named the Australian Shepherd-Lab mix "Ghost" and finally, in early 2022, was able to trap the dog in a backyard. But that’s when Milner says the truly tough part began.
“Ghost was going to need a lot of help, and he was going to need a lot of special attention,” Milner said, emotional. “I put a lot of work into the dog and there’s a lot of dog’s out there that need help.”
After months of trying to find Ghost a forever home, Jonathan Kiang and his wife showed up to the shelter on a whim looking for a partner for their 7-year-old husky Athena.
“Kind of in the distance we just saw Ghost like looking all sad and I think his face just made me feel some type of way for him,” Kiang said. “In my heart I knew I just needed to take him away from that.”
For weeks after their trip to the shelter in April, Ghost was timid, keeping to himself in a corner of their home.
“Shy, Scared,” Kiang said. “He did not want to be anywhere around us.”
“Seven months on the streets of Grapevine is a long time for a dog to be himself,” Milner said.
Now, he’s still nervous around traffic but is playful around his family and Athena.
“He always wants to be next to our side,” Kiang said. “He’s like completely loosened up and we can see his personality now.”
Now the dog someone didn’t want, and no one could catch has a new friend and a new home.
“That’s all we ask is for someone to open their heart, open their home,” Milner said. “This just makes my whole day to see how well Ghost is doing. I’ll live on this high for weeks.” | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/dog-abandoned-at-north-texas-grapevine-lake-now-has-a-forever-home-after-living-on-his-own-for-7-months/287-a141266e-5248-493e-94cd-b07d5f935656 | 2022-07-04T22:32:08Z | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/dog-abandoned-at-north-texas-grapevine-lake-now-has-a-forever-home-after-living-on-his-own-for-7-months/287-a141266e-5248-493e-94cd-b07d5f935656 | true |

LYNCHBURG, Va. – United States Army veteran Bill Eubank spent this Fourth of July alone. His wife, Barbara, died in 2019 after 43 years of marriage.
The 84-year-old said he just wanted to be isolated in his own home.
“I didn’t want to get out on the road and go anywhere. I just don’t feel safe anymore,” said Eubank.
Eubank donned a military uniform in the 1950s while stationed in Italy, where he served as part of the U.S. missile battalion.
Now Eubank wears a Life Alert, relying on some help, and he’s grateful whenever aid arrives.
“Oh, I just can’t wait until they come to the door,” said Eubank.
What came to Eubank’s door Monday was a shining light.
Laura Light, a volunteer with Meals on Wheels of Greater Lynchburg, was one of many who spent the holiday delivering food to hundreds of residents, like Eubank, to make sure they were not forgotten.
“It’s great for the community. It’s great for the people. Everyone is so appreciative,” said Light.
And Light’s appreciative of Eubank’s service, especially as a mother whose own son is in medical school and the U.S. Air Force.
“It means even more to me now than it did before,” said Light.
On this July Fourth, when there’s so much division in our United States, there are relationships like this one, too – a red, white, and blue bond.
“You become really attached to these people that you deliver to,” said Light.
“I’m thankful, really thankful, that I got people like that,” said Eubank. | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/07/04/lynchburg-veteran-spending-fourth-of-july-alone-grateful-for-military-mother-visiting-with-food/ | 2022-07-04T22:35:20Z | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/07/04/lynchburg-veteran-spending-fourth-of-july-alone-grateful-for-military-mother-visiting-with-food/ | false |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A sprawling, privately run detention center in the wind-swept California desert town of Adelanto could house nearly 2,000 migrants facing the prospect of deportation. These days, though, it’s nearly empty.
The Adelanto facility is an extreme example of how the U.S. government’s use of guaranteed minimum payments in contracts with private companies to house immigrant detainees might have a potential financial downside. In these contracts, the government commits to pay for a certain number of beds, whether they’re used or not.
The government pays for at least 1,455 beds a day at Adelanto, but so far this fiscal year reports an average daily population of 49 detainees. Immigrant advocates say the number of detainees at Adelanto is currently closer to two dozen because authorities can’t bring in more migrants under a federal judge’s 2020 pandemic-related ruling.
The U.S. government pays to guarantee 30,000 immigration detention beds are available in four dozen facilities across the country, but so far this fiscal year about half, on average, have been occupied, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement data. Over the past two years, immigration detention facilities across the United States have been underutilized as authorities were forced to space out detainees — in some cases, such as at Adelanto, by court order — to limit the spread of COVID-19.
“The government is still paying them to keep the facility open,” said Lizbeth Abeln, deportation defense director at the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice in Southern California. “It’s really concerning they’re still getting paid for all the beds every single day. It’s empty.”
At a facility in Tacoma, Washington, the guaranteed minimum is 1,181 beds and the average daily population so far this fiscal year is 369, according to official data. A detention center in Jena, Louisiana, has a minimum of 1,170 beds, with an average daily population of 452.
ICE currently reports 23,390 detainees in custody, official data shows. The agency has long spent money on unused detention space by including guaranteed minimum payments in its contracts, according to a Government Accountability Office report focused on the years before the pandemic. The minimum number of beds the government paid to guarantee rose 45% from the 2017 fiscal year to May 2020, the report said.
Officials at ICE headquarters didn’t respond to requests for comment.
In annual budget documents, officials said the agency aims to use 85% to 90% of detention space generally, and pays to have guaranteed minimum beds ready to go in case they’re needed. Officials wrote that they need flexibility to deal with emergencies or sudden big increases in border crossings. They said safety and security are the top priority at the detention centers, while acknowledging the pandemic “greatly decreased bed utilization.”
The average cost of a detention bed was $144 each day during the last fiscal year, the documents show.
Immigrant advocates say the pandemic is proof that the U.S. doesn’t need to detain immigrants as much as authorities have claimed. Deportation agents have ramped up use of a monitoring app to keep tabs on immigrants heading for deportation hearings instead of locking people up, they said. As of June, the agency was tracking more than 200,000 people using the SmartLink app, the government’s data shows.
“The federal government, probably like all of us, didn’t think COVID would go on this long,” said Michael Kaufman, senior staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, which sued for the release of detainees in Adelanto. “This has been an accidental test case that shows they don’t need a detention capacity anywhere near what they’re saying.”
The Adelanto facility — which is run by Boca Raton, Florida-based The Geo Group — is one of the biggest in the country and often houses immigrants arrested in the greater Los Angeles area. It has long been subject to complaints by detainees of shoddy medical care, and on a 2018 visit to the facility inspectors also found nooses in detainees cells and overly restrictive segregation.
In August 2019, more than 1,600 detainees were held at the facility 60 miles (100 kilometers) northeast of Los Angeles, according to a state report.
Soon after COVID-19 hit, immigrant advocates sued over safety concerns. U.S. District Judge Terry Hatter barred ICE from bringing in new detainees and capped the number of detainees to 475. He ordered detainees be spaced out and have room to stretch, walk and use the restroom and shower, and noted an unknown number of staff and detainees didn’t wear masks.
“This case involves human lives whose reasonable safety is entitled to be enforced and protected by the Court pursuant to the United States Constitution,” Hatter wrote in 2021.
Since then, immigration authorities have been bringing new detainees to a 750-bed annex in Adelanto that was previously a state prison. But immigrant advocates said the annex is also running well below occupancy.
Geo, which also runs the annex, declined to comment and referred all questions to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Thomas P. Giles, ICE’s field office director for enforcement and removal operations in greater Los Angeles, said limited bed space locally means some immigrants detained in Southern California could be transferred elsewhere.
“Here in Los Angeles, we have only a limited amount of bed space so some of the people that we arrest, if we don’t have bed space, we’re going to fly them to Phoenix or Atlanta or another part of the country for bed space,” Giles said during a recent interview. “That doesn’t necessarily affect our operations, but it puts more logistics into it.”
In Adelanto, the Department of Justice runs immigration courts where detainees have their deportation cases heard. Currently, judges in these courtrooms are hearing the cases of immigrants elsewhere in the country using video due to dwindling numbers at the desert facility, said Immigration Judge Mimi Tsankov, president of the National Association of Immigration Judges.
Over time, hundreds of detainees have been released on bond or due to health concerns or deported, and some wings of the facility have been closed down, said Eva Bitran, an ACLU staff attorney.
“It’s a tremendous waste of resources,” she said. | https://www.pahomepage.com/news/national/immigration-detention-facility-near-empty-in-california/ | 2022-07-04T22:48:26Z | https://www.pahomepage.com/news/national/immigration-detention-facility-near-empty-in-california/ | false |
(The Hill) – President Biden pledged federal assistance in capturing the shooter who opened fire at a Fourth of July parade in a suburb of Chicago on Monday, killing at least six people.
Biden said in a statement that he has spoken to Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) and Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering (D), offering the “full support” of the federal government to the community.
“[First lady] Jill [Biden] and I are shocked by the senseless gun violence that has yet again brought grief to an American community on this Independence Day,” Biden said. “As always, we are grateful for the first responders and law enforcement on the scene.”
“I also surged Federal law enforcement to assist in the urgent search for the shooter, who remains at large at this time,” he said, adding that local residents “should follow guidance from leadership on the ground.”
Illinois lawmakers described the shooting, which also injured at least 24 people, as “terrifying” in statements on Monday. Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.), whose district includes Highland Park, said he is monitoring the situation closely and in contact with the mayor.
Biden said there is still much work to do on gun violence despite the bipartisan reform legislation he signed last month.
A group of senators concentrated their efforts on reaching an agreement on combatting the violence in the aftermath of shootings at a supermarket in Buffalo, N.Y., and at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, in May. The package includes enhanced background checks for potential buyers under the age of 21, increased funding for mental health and cracking down on illegal gun trafficking.
Biden said the legislation includes actions that will “save lives.”
“But there is much more work to do, and I’m not going to give up fighting the epidemic of gun violence,” he said. | https://www.yourbasin.com/news/national-news/biden-says-federal-law-enforcement-will-assist-with-hunt-for-july-4-shooter/ | 2022-07-04T22:48:31Z | https://www.yourbasin.com/news/national-news/biden-says-federal-law-enforcement-will-assist-with-hunt-for-july-4-shooter/ | false |
On Tuesday, a U.S. District Court judge issued a ruling preventing Scott Timber from clearcutting old growth forest previously part of the Elliott State Forest. The court found that the proposed logging of the “Benson Ridge” parcel by the subsidiary of Roseburg Forest Products would harm and harass threatened marbled murrelets, in violation of the federal Endangered Species Act.
The court’s ruling permanently enjoins logging of the occupied murrelet habitat.
In August 2016, Cascadia Wildlands, the Center for Biological Diversity and Portland Audubon filed suit seeking to block Scott Timber from clearcutting 49 acres of the 355-acre parcel of land because of the impacts to threatened marbled murrelets.
“Today’s ruling is groundbreaking because it holds a private timber company accountable for plans to destroy habitat essential for imperiled wildlife in Oregon,” said Nick Cady, legal director at Cascadia Wildlands. “This ruling establishes that private timber companies can no longer violate the Endangered Species Act with abandon.”
Marbled murrelets are listed as “threatened” under the Endangered Species Act. The Act strictly prohibits “take” — which includes harming, wounding, harassing or killing — of protected species. Marbled murrelets are sea birds with unique nesting requirements. They lay a single egg high in horizontal branches of old-growth trees within 40 miles of the coastline, and make daily trips to the Pacific to bring fish to their young once hatched.
Murrelets were documented in the stand proposed for clearcutting more than 200 times by both Coast Range Forest Watch, a group of citizens scientists who conduct murrelet surveys out of concern for their survival, and the logging company’s own contractors, leading the court to find that logging would harm murrelets “through the destruction and degradation of occupied murrelet habitat” and thereby impair the seabird’s ability to nest for “100 years or more.”
“I love marbled murrelets and I’m thrilled they got a little more protection from logging,” said Noah Greenwald, endangered species director at the Center for Biological Diversity. “The state of Oregon, private timber companies, and all of us share a responsibility to stop extinction and protect forests. This decision is good news not only for murrelets, but for hundreds of other species and future generations.”
In July of last year, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife uplisted the murrelet’s state protected status from threatened to endangered under Oregon’s Endangered Species Act. In response to a 2016 lawsuit, the Oregon Board of Forestry is in the process of developing rules to protect murrelet sites on state and private timber lands, but has dragged the process out for over five years and has yet to propose final rules. When presented with this lawsuit, the federal Fish and Wildlife Service declined to take up the case.
“Since their listing under 30-years ago under the ESA, marbled murrelets have moved even closer to extinction in Oregon in large part because state and federal agencies have not done enough to protect and preserve the older forests on which they depend,” said Bob Sallinger, conservation director for Portland Audubon. “Hopefully this win and others that preceded it will encourage state and federal agencies to more aggressively pursue their responsibilities to protect and recover this amazing seabird that depends on Oregon’s older coastal forests to nest.”
The Benson Ridge parcel was acquired by Scott Timber as a part of the state of Oregon’s efforts to sell the Elliott State Forest in 2014. Cascadia Wildlands, Audubon, and the Center for Biological Diversity challenged those land sale efforts in state court in order to keep the much loved forest open to the public. In 2019, the Oregon Supreme Court ruled that the state’s efforts to sell the Elliott were illegal, and that the state’s understanding that these lands needed to be managed to maximize revenue were misplaced.
The court’s ruling builds on recent successful efforts to permanently protect the remainder of the Elliott State Forest. This past legislative session, the Elliott State Research Forest was created severing the link between old-growth timber sale revenues and public school funding in Oregon. The new research forest: 1) retains the forest in public ownership, 2) creates a 34,000-acre permanent reserve on the west side of the forest to benefit murrelets and other imperiled species, 3) protects nearly all of the remaining mature and old-growth forest left on the Elliott, and 4) meaningfully engages western Oregon tribes in its management. | https://theworldlink.com/news/local/court-blocks-logging-at-part-of-elliott-state-forest/article_9ad51346-f7eb-11ec-97cd-0f1863f214d5.html | 2022-07-04T22:48:41Z | https://theworldlink.com/news/local/court-blocks-logging-at-part-of-elliott-state-forest/article_9ad51346-f7eb-11ec-97cd-0f1863f214d5.html | true |
Killing is clearly legally acceptable, certainly with our self-described "led by God" Supreme Court. The military and the police are allowed to kill intentionally and accidentally. Anyone can kill people for trespassing on their property or in self-described "self-defense."
For the curious, Exodus 21:22-25 makes plain actual Christian theology. Spoiler alert: it does not align with the pro-life stance this Supreme Court enshrined -- an inconvenient scripture for Bible-studying my pro-life friends.
We commonly recognize a natural right of an individual to wear or not wear a mask, vaccinate or not vaccinate, protect or destroy the individual's own property or bodies.
Choosing the fate of a child living *inside* another's body is clearly a singular decision via our God-given biology, regardless of the outside world. If God really wanted a community decision, we would lay eggs, wouldn't we?
Somehow though, when it comes to abortion, "thou shalt not kill" is trotted out like a trick pony at a cheap circus. And as a compassionate person, I agree, It certainly sounds good for a moment.
It begs the question: how can this Supreme Court recognize land/things are legal property, but a woman's own body is *not* her legal property?
Decades ago, pro-lifers I knew were unable to answer the question: if saving the child is so important, why aren't organizations more involved with options that free a person to have the child even when they feel unprepared? Sadly, in the 30+ years that have passed since those times, those questions still remained unanswered.
My more recent trip to a pregnancy resource center showed me just how far the well-intentioned had entrenched themselves in fear dialog, rather than options dialog. Condemnation was the angle: scare me into compliance. Apparently to many of us, sanctioned, legal *harm* will come to the "right" people. But punishment by child birth doesn't sit right with my Jesus teachings, nor my understanding that my body is my own.
The truth is that if you aren't carrying the child, you are just a lobbyist. When was the last time you allowed a lobbyist to control your fate?

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is investigating an outbreak of Listeria infections linked to a Florida brand of ice cream, the agency said Saturday.
Big Olaf Creamery is voluntarily contacting retailers to recommend against selling its ice cream products until further notice. The CDC says consumers who have the ice cream at home should throw it away and clean areas, containers and utensils that may have touched the product.
The ice cream brand is based in Sarasota and is only sold in Florida.
Big Olaf Creamery products are sold to ice cream shops, senior homes, restaurants, fairs and supermarkets. Its ice cream is made at a local creamery near Sarasota's Amish Village of PineCraft.
The CDC reported 23 illnesses, 22 hospitalizations and one death across 10 states from the food safety alert.
RECALL ALERT: Vidalia onions sold at Publix stores last week recalled due to Listeria danger
Five people were infected during pregnancy, and one fetal loss has been reported.
Pregnant people, adults 65 years or older, and people with weakened immune systems have a higher risk of serious illness.
Nearly all who became sick lived in or traveled to Florida in the month preceding infection, the agency said in an earlier press release. Twelve of the infected lived in Florida.
Interviews with 17 infected people found 14 had reported eating ice cream and six remembered eating Big Olaf Creamery brand ice cream or eating ice cream at locations that might have been supplied by Big Olaf Creamery.

Twin Falls County Sheriff’s Office to keep extra watch for drunk boating this holiday
TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — The Twin Falls County Sheriff’s Office has been patrolling the water of the Snake River, spreading safety education to the many recreators at Centennial park over the weekend.
The program, organized by the National Association of Safe Boating Administrators, is an effort to create safer waterways by identifying overly intoxicated operators.
Sergeant Ken Mencl tells KMVT the program is not about lecturing those on the water, but using education to prevent future issues.
He says the program creates a better environment for everyone.
“Through education and us being out on the water as well and putting that work out there, our hope is that people are prepared, not only hydrating with the proper liquids but making sure their vessel is prepared appropriately and keeping in mind that weather conditions change,” Mencl said.
The Twin Falls County Sheriff’s Office strives to continue to create a fun, safe environment in the waterways of southern Idaho.
If you are unsure of the rules of the water, be sure to contact their office before heading out.

(The Hill) – Ukrainian officials including President Volodymyr Zelensky wished the U.S. a happy Independence Day on Monday as the nation fights for its own independence against the ongoing Russian invasion.
“I appreciate the leadership assistance of the United States in Ukraine’s defending of common values — freedom, democracy and independence,” Zelensky tweeted, wishing Americans and President Biden a happy July 4th.
The U.S. has made supporting Ukraine a cornerstone of its foreign policy since Russia invaded the country on Feb. 24. Washington has committed $6.9 billion in security assistance since Russia’s invasion began, uniting Western nations against the move and bringing tensions with Moscow to a boiling point not seen since the Cold War.
“Happy 4th or July to all our American friends and thanks for standing with us in the darkest hour. Together, we will prevail,” the Ukraine government’s official Twitter account said.
The Ukrainian military orchestra on Monday released a video of the group performing the U.S. national anthem, sung in English, in honor of the holiday.
“Dear American friends, we appreciate all the support we receive from the United States, and today we sincerely wish you happy Independence Day,” an unnamed uniformed military official said in the video following the group’s performance.
The gesture was one of many from the Ukrainian military.
“On behalf of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and on my own behalf, I convey my heartfelt wishes to the American people on the anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence,” Valerii Zaluzhnyi, the commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s armed forces, wrote in a Facebook post.
“I wish you every success in your future endeavors, prosperity, much happiness and robust health,” he continued.
The general staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine also marked July 4 in a post.
“Happy 4th or July to all our American friends and thanks for standing with us in the darkest hour,” the Ukrainian government’s official account tweeted on Monday. “Together, we will prevail.” | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/u-s-world/ukraine-zelensky-wish-us-a-happy-july-4th-release-video-of-military-band-playing-star-spangled-banner/ | 2022-07-04T23:12:12Z | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/u-s-world/ukraine-zelensky-wish-us-a-happy-july-4th-release-video-of-military-band-playing-star-spangled-banner/ | false |
Arkansas has landed the commitment of 4-star offensive lineman Paris Patterson.
His respect for Razorbacks coach Sam Pittman and offensive line coach Cody Kennedy played a big part of his decision to be a Razorback.
"I just always admired Coach Pitt and I like what Coach Kennedy is doing here so far,” Patterson said. “It's a win-win."
Patterson, 6-5, 341 pounds, of East St. Louis (Ill.) High School, attended Arkansas' lineman camp on June 22 and received a scholarship offers from Kennedy.
He had offers from LSU, Iowa State, Nebraska, Tennessee, Tulane, Miami (Ohio) and other schools before his one from Arkansas.
Soon after getting the offer from Kennedy, Patterson scheduled an official visit to Fayetteville for the June 24-26 weekend.
"Coach Kennedy really knows what he's talking about,” Patterson said. “I had a chance to be coached by him when I was here at the camp, so I trust he knows what he's doing.”
He is friend with Arkansas redshirt sophomore Jalen St. John, who is a St. Louis native. He was accompanied by his parents on his official visit. He said it was that trip was when he wanted to be a Razorback.
"Probably when I came on my official visit. All the love that was shown around me as soon as I got here," he said.
Rivals rates him a 4-star recruit and the No. 10 interior lineman in the nation. Patterson is the third offensive lineman to pledge to Arkansas and is the 19th prospect in the 2023 class. | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/jul/04/4-star-o-lineman-paris-patterson-pledges-to-hogs/ | 2022-07-04T23:15:36Z | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/jul/04/4-star-o-lineman-paris-patterson-pledges-to-hogs/ | true |

KIGALI, Rwanda (AP) — Rwandan President Paul Kagame on Monday accused Congo of supporting rebels opposed to his government, escalating tensions with a neighbor who in turn accuses Rwanda of supporting violent rebels who recently captured a town in eastern Congo.
Kagame said in a televised address that his country is concerned by alleged Congolese support for the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda, or FDLR, a Congo-based rebel group that includes fighters accused of taking part in the 1994 genocide.
Relations between Rwanda and Congo have frayed in recent weeks after the M23 rebel group last month took the Congolese town of Bunagana at the Uganda border and Congolese authorities charged that Rwandan troops had invaded Congo.
Rwanda has long denied supporting M23, disputing the accounts of conflict observers, U.N. experts and others. M23 is made up mostly of ethnic Tutsi fighters from Congo who say their government hasn’t honored past commitments to reintegrate them into the national army.
Congolese authorities deny allegations they support the FDLR.
But Kagame charged Monday that Congo is actively arming the FDLR, whose fighters are accused of killing dozens in a 2019 attack in the northern Rwandan town of Kinigi, a tourist area. “It’s on record and with facts. (Congo) is supporting FDLR, and unfortunately with the knowledge of MONUSCO,” he said, referring to U.N. peacekeepers on the ground.
It wasn’t immediately possible to get a comment from MONUSCO.
Kagame accused Congo of trying to involve Rwanda in “their internal issues,” and wondered how long his government will resist such provocation. He spoke of the rights of Congolese Kinyarwanda speakers living in eastern Congo, saying Congolese authorities have a obligation to address the grievances of the M23 rebels.
“They have recently been behaving like spoilt children. They cause trouble and then start crying foul,” he said of Congolese authorities.
Regional leaders under the East African Community bloc are working toward deploying a peacekeeping force in eastern Congo’s restive provinces.
It remains unclear when the force, which would be authorized to disarm insurgents, will be deployed.
Congo has said it opposes putting Rwandan troops in Congo as members of such a force. Kagame said Monday he was fine with that. | https://www.cbs42.com/news/business/tensions-persist-as-rwanda-denies-congo-rebel-charges/ | 2022-07-04T23:22:19Z | https://www.cbs42.com/news/business/tensions-persist-as-rwanda-denies-congo-rebel-charges/ | true |
Which film slide scanners are best?
Now that many of us carry a high-quality camera phone everywhere we go, it’s easy to forget there was a time when memories were captured exclusively on film. Families all over the world have boxes of photos and slides just waiting to be digitized, but they lack the means to do it themselves.
Film and slide scanners efficiently convert those photos and negatives into digital files. For an easy-to-use scanner with image editing capabilities, check out the Kodak Mini Digital Film Scanner.
What to know before you buy a film slide scanner
What is a film slide scanner?
A film and slide scanner is a device that can be used to digitize photos, slides and even undeveloped negatives, converting them into the image file format of your choice, including JPG and PNG. Most scanners include a small LCD screen that lets you view the images while they’re being processed. Some are standalone devices connected to a memory card, while others can be connected to your computer via USB for easy storage. Certain models even have an HDMI port so you can view the images as a slideshow on your TV. For more detailed information about film and slide scanners, check out the complete film slide scanner buying guide from BestReviews.
Film types
One of the first things to look at when shopping for a scanner is compatibility with various film types. For much of the 20th century, 35 mm film was regularly used, but other common formats include 16 mm, Super 8 and 126 film. Consider the material that you wish to digitize and make sure that the scanner you choose will support it.
Megapixels
The image resolution provided by a film and slide scanner is measured in megapixels. The more megapixels your image has, the more detailed it will be. Look for a scanner that will let you adjust the megapixel settings to your liking, rather than a device with a single megapixel setting. A larger megapixel count will result in a large file, so plan accordingly.
What to look for in a quality film slide scanner
Image editing
Many film slide scanners have image editing capabilities, letting you adjust details such as brightness and color balance directly on the device’s display screen. Some models even come with a free download of image editing software that can be used on your computer.
Saving and storage
If you intend to scan a large number of photos or film, think about where you’re going to store so many high-resolution image files. Many users invest in an external hard drive, while others feel more comfortable backing up their files in the cloud.
Some standalone scanners will let you save your images directly onto a memory card that’s attached to the device. Just be sure to choose a device and memory card with ample storage. At least 32 gigabytes is recommended for most situations.
Portability
If you plan to travel with your film and slide scanner frequently, look for a device that can scan, edit and save photos directly from the interface. This will avoid the hassle of transporting multiple cables and a computer every time you wish to use the scanner.
How much you can expect to spend on a film slide scanner
The price of a film slide scanner can vary depending on the file format capabilities and features included. Expect to spend $50-$150 on a standard device, while high-end models with large displays and professional megapixel scanning can be $200 and up.
Film slide scanner FAQ
Is it difficult to use a film slide scanner?
A. While the first time can be intimidating, the intuitive controls and easy-to-follow instructions included with modern scanners make the process of digitizing your photos easier than ever before.
Can’t I just send my film somewhere to be digitized professionally?
A. Some people prefer to mail their film to a professional facility that can digitize their images for them, but you run the risk that they’ll be lost or damaged in transit. The best way to keep your family photos safe is to digitize them yourself.

6 dead, 30 wounded in shooting at Chicago-area July 4 parade
By MICHAEL TARM, KATHLEEN FOODY and ROGER SCHNEIDER, Associated Press
HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. (AP) — Highland Park Police Chief Lou Jogmen said Monday afternoon that police have identified 22-year-old Robert E. Crimo III as a person of interest and cautioned he should be considered armed and dangerous. Police declined to answer questions about how they identified Crimo. Authorities described his car as a silver Honda Fit with an Illinois license plate DM 80653.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
A gunman on a rooftop opened fire on an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago on Monday, killing at least six people, wounding at least 30 and sending hundreds of marchers, parents with strollers and children on bicycles fleeing in terror, police said. The suspect remained on the loose hours later as authorities scoured the area.
The July 4 shooting was just the latest to shatter the rituals of American life. Schools, churches, grocery stores and now community parades have all become killing grounds in recent months. This time, the bloodshed came as the nation tried to find cause to celebrate its founding and the bonds that still hold it together.
Mayor Nancy Rotering said the violence “has shaken us to our core,” adding, “On a day that we came together to celebrate community and freedom, we are instead mourning the tragic loss of life and struggling with the terror that was brought upon us.”
The shooting occurred at a spot on the parade route where many residents had staked out prime viewing points early in the day for the annual celebration. Dozens of fired bullets sent hundreds of parade-goers — some visibly bloodied — fleeing. They left a trail of abandoned items that showed everyday life suddenly, violently disrupted: A half-eaten bag of potato chips; a box of chocolate cookies spilled onto the grass; a child’s Chicago Cubs cap.
“There’s no safe place,” said Highland Park resident Barbara Harte, 73, who had stayed away from the parade fearing a mass shooting, but later ventured from her home.
Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli said at a news conference “several of the deceased victims” died at the scene and one was taken to a hospital and died there. Police have not released details about the victims or wounded.
Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek said the five people killed at the parade were adults and she doesn’t have information on the sixth victim who was taken to a hospital and died there.
Roberto Velasco, Mexico’s director for North American affairs, said on Twitter Monday that one Mexican national was killed in Highland Park and added that two other Mexicans were wounded.
Dr. Brigham Temple, medical director of emergency preparedness for NorthShore University Health Center, said the Highland Park hospital received 26 patients after the attack and all but one had gunshot wounds. Their ages ranged from 8 to 85, and Temple estimated that four or five patients were children.
He said 19 of them were treated and discharged. Others were transferred to other hospitals, while two patients, in stable condition, remained at the Highland Park hospital.
The shooter opened fire around 10:15 a.m., when the parade was about three-quarters through, authorities said.
Highland Park Police Commander Chris O’Neill, the incident commander on scene, said the gunman apparently used a “high-powered rifle” to fire from a spot atop a commercial building where he was “very difficult to see.” He said the rifle was recovered at the scene. Police also found a ladder attached to the building.
“Very random, very intentional and a very sad day,” Covelli said.
President Joe Biden on Monday said he and first lady Jill Biden were “shocked by the senseless gun violence that has yet again brought grief to an American community on this Independence Day.” He said he had “surged Federal law enforcement to assist in the urgent search for the shooter, who remains at large at this time.”
Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were conducting an urgent trace of the rifle, agency spokesperson April Langwell said. Federal agents conduct such traces to identify when, where and to whom the gun was last sold.
Biden signed the widest-ranging gun violence bill passed by Congress in decades, a compromise that showed at once both progress on a long-intractable issue and the deep-seated partisan divide that persists.
Police believe there was only one shooter but warned that he should still be considered armed and dangerous. Several nearby cities canceled events including parades and fireworks, some of them noting that the Highland Park shooter was still at large. Evanston, Deerfield, Skokie, Waukegan and Glencoe canceled events. The Chicago White Sox also announced on Twitter that a planned post-game fireworks show is canceled due to the shooting.
“You have a tragic mass act of violence that was random here today at a community event where people were gathered to celebrate, and the offender has not been apprehended thus far,” Covelli, the crime task force spokesman, said. “So, could this happen again? We don’t know what his intentions are at this point, so certainly we’re not sure of that.”
More than 100 law enforcement officers were called to the parade scene or dispatched to find the suspected shooter.
Hours after the shooting, law enforcement officers searched an office building near where the shooting occurred. Nearby, armed FBI agents in camouflage had also escorted a family with two small girls across Central Avenue. The children looked visibly frightened even as their mother attempted to reassure them that the agents leading and flanking them would protect them.
“Don’t worry, you’re safe now,” she told them. “These guys will protect you.”
Ominous signs of a joyous event suddenly turned to horror filled both sides of Central Avenue where the shooting occurred. Dozens of baby strollers — some bearing American flags, abandoned children’s bikes and a helmet bedecked with images of Cinderella were left behind. Blankets, lawn chairs, coffees and water bottles were knocked over as people fled.
Highland Park is a close-knit community of about 30,000 people located on the shores of Lake Michigan just north of Chicago, with mansions and sprawling lakeside estates that have long drawn the rich and sometimes famous, including NBA legend Michael Jordan, who lived in the city for years when he played for the Chicago Bulls. John Hughes filmed parts of several movies in the city, including “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” “Sixteen Candles” and “Weird Science.”
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said in a statement: “There are no words for the kind of monster who lies in wait and fires into a crowd of families with children celebrating a holiday with their community.”
Gina Troiani and her son were lined up with his daycare class ready to walk onto the parade route when she heard a loud sound that she believed was fireworks — until she heard people yell about a shooter. In a video that Troiani shot on her phone, some of the kids are visibly startled at the loud noise, and they scramble to the side of the road as a siren wails nearby.
“We just start running in the opposite direction,” she told The Associated Press.
Her 5-year-old son was riding his bike decorated with red and blue curled ribbons. He and other children in the group held small American flags. The city said on its website that the festivities were to include a children’s bike and pet parade.
Troiani said she pushed her son’s bike, running through the neighborhood to get back to their car.
“It was just sort of chaos,” she said. “There were people that got separated from their families, looking for them. Others just dropped their wagons, grabbed their kids and started running.”
Debbie Glickman, a Highland Park resident, said she was on a parade float with coworkers and the group was preparing to turn onto the main route when she saw people running from the area.
“People started saying: ‘There’s a shooter, there’s a shooter, there’s a shooter,’” Glickman told the AP. “So we just ran. We just ran. It’s like mass chaos down there.”
She didn’t hear any noises or see anyone who appeared to be injured.
“I’m so freaked out,” she said. “It’s just so sad.”

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves paid tribute to their longtime public address announcer, Casey Motter, on Monday night in a ceremony before the team’s first home game since his death last week.
Motter, 53, died last Wednesday. He had been the Braves’ public address announcer since 2007 and worked through the team’s previous homestand, which ended on June 26.
Motter became known as the Voice of Truist Park, which opened as the team’s suburban home in 2017 following a move from Turner Field in downtown Atlanta. He was known for his introductory “Hello baseball fans,” delivered in his booming voice, before each game.
Sam Franco, who has worked as the public address announcer for some University of Georgia athletics events, handled duties for Monday night. Franco will continue to serve as the public address announcer through the 10-game homestand.
Beginning on Tuesday night, the Braves will use some of Motter’s recorded greetings to fans and other announcements at home games the remainder of the season.
Motter grew up in Cobb County, the home of Truist Park. A funeral will be held on Wednesday in his hometown of Smyrna, Georgia.
The cause of Motter’s death has not been made public.

Firefighters rescue man trapped on roof of Bucks County condo fire
NEWTOWN, Pa. - Firefighter in Bucks County rescued a man from the roof of a burning condo fire that erupted Fourth of July morning.
Emergency crews responded to Nathan Court in the Newtown Gate Townhomes community for reports of a two-story fire at an end unit.
Firefighters from the Newtown Fire Department said when they arrived they found a man standing on the roof of the burning home.
Deputy Chief Liz Ellis told reporters the firefighters quickly stretched a ladder to the roof and helped guide the man down.
He was brought to a local hospital with burns, FOX 29's Joann Pileggi reports.
A neighbor who witnessed the Independence Day blaze first thought the sirens were from a local parade, then smelled the smoke.
"I was actually hearing sirens going on like nearby I thought they were passing by the highway maybe Fourth of July related but then my Ring door alarm said there’s a fire, and it gave my street name, and then I smelled smoke and ran outside," Devrim Eren said.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation. No other injuries were reported. | https://www.fox29.com/news/firefighters-rescue-man-trapped-on-roof-of-bucks-county-condo-fire | 2022-07-05T00:02:43Z | https://www.fox29.com/news/firefighters-rescue-man-trapped-on-roof-of-bucks-county-condo-fire | false |
WASHINGTON, July 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Below is a statement by U.S. Conference of Mayors CEO and Executive Director, Tom Cochran, on today's mass shooting in Highland Park (IL):
"Today as we celebrate our nation's independence and the freedoms we enjoy, we are reminded that we are not free from gun violence and that nothing, not even a Fourth of July parade in a suburban community, is immune. Every day gun violence kills more than 100 people in our country. Today, in one community alone, at least six people are dead and dozens more injured, apparently because a young man had access to a high-powered weapon and decided to target innocent children and families celebrating our country's birth.
"The nation's Mayors stand with Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering, the police officers and other officials who quickly responded, treated the wounded and guided those at the parade to safety, and the entire Highland Park community. Once again, we send our condolences to the victims and their families.
"As the nation's mayors speak out once again to decry yet another mass shooting, along with a daily death toll that occurs on the streets of cities across the nation, we all must ask what else we can do to reduce gun violence in our country. The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act enacted just one week ago will help and is an indication that Congress can act, but as today demonstrates more must be done in our cities, our states and in Washington."
About the United States Conference of Mayors -- The U.S. Conference of Mayors is the official nonpartisan organization of cities with populations of 30,000 or more. There are more than 1,400 such cities in the country today, and each city is represented in the Conference by its chief elected official, the mayor. Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter.

Traffic fatalities surge in Louisiana, relates to drivers taking huge risks
MONROE, La. (KNOE) - A recent report from A National Transportation Research Nonprofit shows that traffic fatalities in Louisiana continue to rise.
From 2019 to 2021, fatalities rose 34% in Louisiana, according to the report. On a national level, traffic fatalities surged by 19% during that same two-year period.
Experts from A National Transportation Research Nonprofit say the fatal accidents are largely related to drivers taking huge risks. Public Information Officer Javier Leija with the Louisiana State Police says the leading causes for the number of traffic fatalities are due to drivers becoming relaxed in their driving behaviors, drinking alcohol, multitasking, and becoming distracted with what’s going on inside of the car, as well as outside of the car.
“They could very well be rubbernecking - is what we call it. I’ve seen it firsthand out on the interstate. We’re working a crash. People passing by want to slow down and take a look with a person behind them. They might be looking as well and they run into the rear-end of the vehicle in front of them,” says Leija.
The chart below displays the number of Louisiana traffic fatalities, the rate of traffic fatalities per 100 million VMT in Louisiana, and the rate of vehicle travel in the state in 2019, 2020 and 2021.
Chart Credit - TRIP: A National Transportation Research Nonprofit
The report from the nonprofit includes that bicycle and pedestrian fatalities accounted for 19% of traffic fatalities in 2021.

Re: Top 10 Most Special Transformers
Lovely idea for a post. We all have special attachments to certain characters or toys based on our own stories.
I didn't get very many "new" Transformers or toys as a kid. TBH my dad made enough money, but it didn't go towards us lol. Lots of swap meet robots though! I got Scattershot from a swap meet. Even without weapons, dude had a bajillion guns. Loved him.
One of the few "new" toys for me was getting Ultra Magnus for christmas. It's one reason he's a favorite character.
Swindle was the only Combaticon I had for a long time so I will always have a soft spot for him. Same with Air Raid.

GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — The advice of a friend to stay near the door of a semi-trailer may have saved Yenifer Yulisa Cardona Tomás from the deadly end that 53 other migrants met when the truck was abandoned last week on the outskirts of San Antonio.
Cardona Tomás, a 20-year-old from Guatemala’s capital, said in a phone interview Monday from her hospital bed that it was already hot on June 27 when she stepped out of the warehouse on the Texas side of the Mexico border where she had been waiting and climbed into the back of the trailer.
The smugglers confiscated their cellphones and covered the trailer’s floor with what she believes was powdered chicken bouillon, apparently to throw off any dogs they might encounter at checkpoints. Sitting stuffed inside the stifling trailer with dozens of others, the powder stung her skin.
Remembering her friend's advice about staying near the door where it would be cooler, Cardona Tomás shared it with another friend she had made during the journey.
“I told a friend that we shouldn’t go to the back and should stay near (the entrance), in the same place without moving,” said Cardona Tomás, who is being treated at Methodist Hospital Metropolitan in San Antonio. That friend survived, too.
As the truck moved on, making additional stops to pick up more migrants, people began to cluster near the door like Cardona Tomás. She had no way to track the time.
“The people were yelling, some cried. Mostly women were calling for it to stop and to open the doors because it was hot, that they couldn’t breathe,” she said, still laboring a bit to speak after being intubated at the hospital.
She said the driver or someone else in the cab yelled back that “we were about to arrive, that there were 20 minutes left, six minutes.”
“People asked for water, some had run out, others carried some,” she said.
The truck would continue stopping occasionally, but just before she lost consciousness it was moving slowly. She woke up in the hospital.
The driver and three others were arrested and charged by U.S. prosecutors.
Guatemala’s Foreign Ministry has said that 20 Guatemalans died in the incident, 16 of whom have been positively identified. Foreign Minister Mario Búcaro said he hoped the first bodies would be repatriated this week.
Cardona Tomás said the truck’s destination that day was Houston, though she was ultimately headed to North Carolina.
“She didn’t have a job and asked me if I would support her" in migrating to the U.S., her father, Mynor Cordón, said Monday in Guatemala City, where the family lives. He said he knew of other cases of children who just left without telling their families and ended up disappearing or dying so he decided to back her.
He paid $4,000 for a smuggler — less than half the total cost — to take her to the U.S. She left Guatemala on May 30, traveling in cars, buses and finally the semi-trailer in Texas.
“I didn’t know that she would travel in a trailer,” he said. “She told us it would be by foot. It seems like at the last moment the smugglers decided to put (her) in the trailer, along with two more friends, who survived. One of them is still in critical condition.”
Cordón had stayed in touch with his daughter up until the morning of June 27. Her last message to him that Monday was at 10:28 a.m. in Guatemala, or 11:28 a.m. in Texas. “We’re going to go in an hour,” she wrote.
It was not until late that night that Cardona Tomás’ family learned of the abandoned trailer. It was two more days before relatives in the United States confirmed that she was alive and hospitalized.
“We cried so much,” Cordón said. “I even was thinking where we were going to have the wake and bury her. She is a miracle.” | https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/A-migrant-survivor-of-the-trailer-They-couldn-t-17284053.php | 2022-07-05T00:09:25Z | https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/A-migrant-survivor-of-the-trailer-They-couldn-t-17284053.php | false |
A federal judge has ruled in favor of three major U.S. drug distributors in a landmark lawsuit filed in West Virginia. Judge David Faber issued the ruling on Monday nearly a year after closing arguments were held in a bench trial in a lawsuit filed by Cabell County and the city of Huntington.
The suit accused AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health and McKesson of causing a health crisis by distributing 81 million pills over eight years in a county ravaged by opioid addiction. Faber says that while the opioid crisis has taken a considerable toll, such cases should be decided on the facts and the law, not sympathy.
“The opioid crisis has taken a considerable toll on the citizens of Cabell County and the City of Huntington. And while there is a natural tendency to assign blame in such cases, they must be decided not based on sympathy, but on the facts and the law,” U.S. District Judge David Faber wrote in the 184-page ruling. “In view of the court’s findings and conclusions, the court finds that judgment should be entered in defendants’ favor.” | https://www.abc15.com/news/national/us-judge-finds-for-3-drug-distributors-in-wva-opioid-lawsuit | 2022-07-05T00:13:12Z | https://www.abc15.com/news/national/us-judge-finds-for-3-drug-distributors-in-wva-opioid-lawsuit | false |
ALLENTOWN, Pa. - Allentown saw thousands of people at its annual 4th of July celebration at J. Birney Crum Stadium.
We had a chance to talk with some of the vendors and customers, both from the local community and some who traveled across the state to be there. Like Chef Teres Brown, who drove in from Philadelphia to sell food at the event for the first time.
"Some nice jumbo shrimp here with tri-colored bell peppers, put those on the grill. I got some sauce there and we're grilling them," said Brown.
We also talked with Heather Griffith, who was selling the food from her restaurant Wrap'd Tight for the second year in a row at the event.
"It's one thing to be cooking inside. When you're outside, you connect more with your customers and it's an amazing feeling," said Griffith.
Griffith said last year the pandemic was still keeping people home.
"It was a little nerve-wracking last year because everybody was just kind of coming out of COVID. People were a little scared when you walk up to the counter and see what you've got going on, but this year I expect to be way better. I expect to see a lot more people out front and just enjoying the day," said Griffith.
And we caught up with some of those people who got there early to enjoy the food. Like Crystal Sterner, who was enjoying a lobster roll.
"This is my first time coming out to this, so just wanted to check it out and see what all they have here," said Sterner. "On a scale of 1 to 5, definitely a 5. Yeah it's good."
Sterner was with her father, C.J. Ehlinger, who had a pulled pork sandwich.
"They've got like a mustard sauce on it, I've never had that before. I think it's really good," said Ehlinger.
And once they were full, they could head inside the stadium to burn it off with some music and dancing. The event is put on by the City of Allentown. Organizer Londynn Jones said it's one of the biggest ones they do every year.
"I'd say between three to five thousand people come out with their families to enjoy," said Jones.
And that crowd is why Brown says he's here. To introduce more people to his food, and to enjoy the community.
"Selling out is going to be the aim, and I honestly hope we don't have enough food, because I want people to come back," said Brown. "Anything that just brings people together and lets everyone have a good time and live cohesively, that's exactly where I want to show up to." | https://www.wfmz.com/news/area/lehighvalley/thousands-make-their-way-to-allentowns-4th-of-july-celebration-event-features-new-food-vendors/article_92ffd3da-fbe8-11ec-a311-1b62f0d6def1.html | 2022-07-05T00:15:50Z | https://www.wfmz.com/news/area/lehighvalley/thousands-make-their-way-to-allentowns-4th-of-july-celebration-event-features-new-food-vendors/article_92ffd3da-fbe8-11ec-a311-1b62f0d6def1.html | false |
Suspect thanks victims with kind words after robbing Waffle House, police say
NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) - A robber with kind words for his victims struck a South Carolina Waffle House early Friday.
The robbery happened around 3:45 a.m. at the 24-hour eatery in North Augusta, according to the North Augusta Department of Public Safety.
A Black male wearing a gray long-sleeve shirt, tan pants, black tennis shoes and a black ski mask walked around the building and entered, according to officers.
He then pointed a black handgun and told employees to open the register, WRDW reports.
One of them complied, putting all the cash in a Waffle House to-go bag and handing it to the robber, according to authorities.
“God bless you. I did not want to hurt anyone,” the robber replied, according to a report from the North Augusta Department of Public Safety.
The robber ran out the door and jumped into the rear seat of a silver sedan that was parked in the middle of the road, which then left, the officers reported.

NEW YORK, July 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE: WM) redeemable senior notes (the "Notes") between February 13, 2020 and June 23, 2020, inclusive (the "Class Period"), including the following senior redeemable notes issued by WM in May 2019: (i) 2.95% Senior Notes due 2024; (ii) 3.20% Senior Notes due 2026; (iii) 3.45% Senior Notes due 2029; and (iv) 4.00% Senior Notes due 2039, of the important August 8, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Waste Management Notes during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Waste Management class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6891 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 8, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the U.S. Department of Justice had indicated to Waste Management that it would require Waste Management to divest significantly more assets than the $200 million Antitrust Revenue Threshold; (2) as a result, the merger would not be completed by the End Date; and (3) the Notes would be subject to mandatory redemption at 101% of par. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Waste Management class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6891 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

GRAND ISLAND, N.Y. (WIVB)– The booms. The sirens. The screams.
All the sounds of the celebration of independence on July 4th can be triggering for U.S. Veterans struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Christian Eshelman, an Air Force Veteran, struggled with PTSD for years after serving time in Afghanistan. He says the respect the community gives around the heroes that fought for our freedom, can help ease the pain.
“If people have veterans in their community and they’re big into fireworks, just maybe take a second to find out if that veteran is okay with fireworks and try to plan accordingly.” said Eshelman. “Hearing fireworks unexpectedly just takes me back there because it sounds like mortars and explosions that I heard over seas.”
For veterans like Eshelman and Brian Tibbet, they have overcome the pain of coming back home from war.
Tibbet believes Post Traumatic Stress Disorder conversations and awareness can help veterans feel at ease in their own way. He says there shouldn’t be a stigma against PTSD, as it is just a reaction to a traumatic event.
“Personally the way I feel is PTSD has been dwindled and used as a negative thing.” Brian Tibbet, Commander of VFW 9249 in Grand Island said, “I look at it more as my strength now. I am now a lot more vigilant.”
When Tibbet first came home from war, he felt isolated. With the support from his family and the Grand Island community, he started to overcome this feeling. He now encourages vets to get involved with others who feel the same way.
“Don’t hide behind a closed door thinking there’s no one to talk to.” said Tibbett, “Most things can be solved by just speaking it outloud.”
For veterans who are seeking support and help with Post Tramautic Stress Disorder, there are multiple ways to get support.
For vets who are seeking immediate help, call the Veteran Crisis Line at 1(800)273-8255 and press 1.
For veterans who are looking for local organizations around WNY, you can visit WNY Heroes Resource Center.

SANTIAGO (AP) — President Gabriel Boric on Monday was presented with the formal draft of a proposed constitution meant to replace the charter imposed by a military dictatorship 41 years ago and usher in fundamental changes for Chile.
Chileans are to vote in a September plebiscite whether to adopt the charter, which was drawn up by a Constitutional Convention elected last year.
“This September 4th, it will once again be the people who will have the last word on their destiny,” Boric wrote on Twitter.
In the first of the draft’s articles, Chile is described as a “a social and democratic state” as well as “plurinational, intercultural and ecological.” The document recognizes the existence of 11 Indigenous groups, which represent 12.8% of the country’s 19 million inhabitants.
Among other things, the draft would require a new public health care system and a process to return land to Indigenous peoples. It also lays out new rights, including the right to “adequate and dignified housing” and equal pay for equal work between men and women.
The head of the convention, María Elisa Quinteros, handed the proposal, which includes 388 articles, to Boric in a formal ceremony. Boric then signed a decree setting the date for the plebiscite, in which Chileans will be required to vote.
“I feel honored to head up this historic moment,” Quinteros said.
More than three-fourhs of Chilean voters in a 2020 referendum called for a new constitution, but the ceremonial handover of the draft comes at a time when people appear to be increasingly skeptical of the convention's work.
Polls at the beginning of the year indicated a clear majority intended to vote in favor of the new constitution, but surveys since April have found a marked change in opinion, with those who oppose the new document appearing to be ahead.
Analysts say the arrogant attitude of some delegates to the Constitutional Convention rather than the content of the proposal has soured Chileans.
Giorgio Jackson, the presidency’s minister, alluded to that circumstance by saying that “we have seen a very bad evaluation of the process.”
During his speech Monday, Boric also urged Chileans not to consider the plebescite a poll on his government. The September vote “is not, nor should it be, an evaluation of the government. It’s the debate about Chile’s future and destiny,” he said.
Although Boric was sworn in less than four months ago with a high approval rating, recent surveys have shown Chileans growing increasingly sour on his administration amid an increase in crime and high inflation.
The handover of the new document coincides with the dissolution of the Constitutional Convention a year to the date after it was set up.
If the draft is rejected in the plebiscite, the current constitution, written during Augusto Pinochet's 1973-1990 dictatorship, will remain in effect even though there is widespread agreement that the country needs a new charter.
If the document is approved by majority vote, it will launch a process that will take years to become a reality. Congress would have to approve new laws to implement its requirements. | https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/Chile-president-receives-draft-of-new-proposed-17284045.php | 2022-07-05T00:34:17Z | https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/Chile-president-receives-draft-of-new-proposed-17284045.php | false |
Universities promise return to `pre-pandemic´ level of firsts
Universities in England have pledged to reverse degree inflation for first-class degrees and 2.1s, returning the proportion of upper degree classes to pre-pandemic levels.
Both Universities UK and GuildHE have said that by 2023 they will bring the proportion of 2.1s and first-class degrees back in line with pre-pandemic levels, in the first statement of its kind.
There has been a rise in degree grade inflation during the pandemic following the introduction of measures such as “no detriment” policies to mitigate the impact of Covid disruptions to students’ studies.
In 2020/21, over one in three students (36%) achieving the top grade of a first-class degree, according to data published by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA).
The latest HESA figures also showed that 46% of degrees were awarded a 2:1, while 3% were a third (2:2) or a pass.
HESA researchers attributed the rise in firsts to how universities changed their assessment policies during the pandemic.
Universities in 2019/20 – the first year of the pandemic – adopted “no detriment”, or safety net, assessment policies because of Covid’s impact. This tended to ensure students would not receive a final grade that was lower than the university’s most recent assessment of their work.
While “blanket ‘no detriment’” policies were not in place in 2020/21, other assessment changes such as open-book exams remained.
The UUK and GuildHE statement said it recognised grade inflation which could not be explained by improvements in teaching and learning or more effort from students risked undermining employers’ confidence in the degree grading process.
Universities said they will use 2019 as a benchmark for the proportion of upper second and first-class degrees awarded, a point before the pandemic when the proportion of upper-second degrees was levelling off because of measures taken by institutions.
“In recent years, universities have been proactive and taken collective action to strengthen internal processes that impact on degree classification,” the bodies said.
“The result was a levelling off by 2018–19 in the percentage of students achieving upper degree awards,” they said, adding that before the pandemic they had been making plans for further reviews and changes to limit grade inflation further.
“However, we cannot lose sight of the need to maintain the value of a degree and so must redouble our efforts to identify and address unexplained increases in firsts and 2.1s,” they said.
“As a sector, we commit to reviewing our classification levels against the pre-pandemic progress that had seen trends stabilising.”
The bodies said they will publish degree outcome statements by the end of 2022, setting out their plans to go back to pre-pandemic levels of degree classification, and that they will evaluate their progress in early 2023.
They added that any actions to limit grade inflation paused during the pandemic would restart.
Steve West CBE, president of Universities UK and vice chancellor of UWE Bristol, said: “The UK’s universities have a global reputation for excellence and we must keep confidence in the value of our degrees high.
“The pandemic brought uniquely challenging circumstances and students who have graduated over the last three years should feel proud of, and confident in, the qualifications they worked hard to achieve.
“As we emerge and look to the future, we have an opportunity to take meaningful action and strengthen our commitment to fair, transparent and reliable degree classification.”
Anthony McClaran, chair of GuildHE and vice chancellor of St Mary’s University, Twickenham, said universities were “strongly committed to maintaining robust academic standards”.
“As we emerge from the pandemic it is time to redouble our focus on protecting academic standards and take strong action to ensure we maintain the wider confidence and trust in the system.”
Higher and further education minister Michelle Donelan said she was “delighted” to have worked on the statement with the two bodies.
“Just as the Government is restoring pre-pandemic grading at GCSE and A-Level by 2023, today’s statement will ensure that universities are also eliminating the grade inflation that occurred over the pandemic, and on the same timetable. Together, we are taking action to restore high standards across our education system,” she said.
“Hardworking students deserve to know that earning a first or upper second really counts and that it carries weight with employers – who in turn should be able to trust in the high value and rigorous assessment of university courses.” | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-10981895/Universities-promise-return-pre-pandemic-level-firsts.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-05T00:34:25Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-10981895/Universities-promise-return-pre-pandemic-level-firsts.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Waste Management class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6891 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 8, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the U.S. Department of Justice had indicated to Waste Management that it would require Waste Management to divest significantly more assets than the $200 million Antitrust Revenue Threshold; (2) as a result, the merger would not be completed by the End Date; and (3) the Notes would be subject to mandatory redemption at 101% of par. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Military community contributes $34B to SC economy, report shows
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - South Carolina leaders say the state’s expansive military presence is a vital part of its economy, and new figures reveal just how much.
A study commissioned by the South Carolina Department of Veterans’ Affairs found the military community contributes $34.3 billion annually to the state’s economy.
“South Carolina’s military community is critical not only to our state but to our nation as a whole,” South Carolina Speaker of the House Murrell Smith, R – Sumter, said last week at a ceremonial signing for a new law that eliminates taxes on military retirement income.
University of South Carolina Research Economist Joey Von Nessen, who conducted the study, said three main components are driving those figures: the state’s eight military installations, the 670 contractors who work with those installations, and the service members who contribute.
South Carolina has the 10th-most active duty and reserve personnel among all states and the eighth-highest military retiree population, with more than 63,000 retirees.
“Active duty, reservists, as well as our veterans, all of which are spending money in the local economy, and that is supporting local businesses as well,” Von Nessen said.
The study found that $34.3 billion impact makes up about 11% of South Carolina’s economy, with the military community directly or indirectly supporting more than 254,000 jobs, about one in every nine jobs in the state.
“In general, if we look at the military footprint overall, it does have the equivalent effect of one of the state’s largest industry sectors,” Von Nessen said.
The regions of the state benefiting the most are where those installations are located.
The Charleston area leads the way, bringing in $12.7 billion annually, with Joint Base Charleston responsible for much of that, while the Columbia Midlands region follows at $6.6 billion, thanks in large part to Fort Jackson.
But Von Nessen said the military’s footprint extends to all 46 counties.
“That’s because the installations themselves are located throughout the state, but the contractors that are supporting them are also located throughout the state, and we also have to think about the veterans and the retirees also living all across South Carolina,” he said.
This year’s $34 billion economic impact is up about 35% from the last time the study was completed in 2019.
Von Nessen said part of that rise is due to an actual increase in economic activity, along with the study itself being more thorough this time.
For example, he pointed to it now taking into account those service members who may work right across the state line in the Augusta area at Fort Gorgon but live and spend their money in South Carolina.

Chris Pincher dramatically quit as Tory deputy chief whip last week over allegations he groped two men at a Conservative private members’ club.
Over the weekend, details emerged in the press of further claims about alleged sexual advances to men – including two fellow Conservative MPs – over a period of years.
Here is a timeline of Mr Pincher’s political career and the allegations, which Mr Pincher has denied to the newspapers which carried them.
– May 2010: Mr Pincher is first elected Conservative MP for Tamworth in Staffordshire.
– 2012: A man alleges he was subjected to an unwanted advance from Mr Pincher when he was in his early 20s at an event in London, according to The Mail on Sunday.
– 2013: The same newspaper reported that a former parliamentary researcher alleges Mr Pincher threatened to report her to her boss after she tried to stop him pestering a young man at that year’s Conservative Party conference.
– 2013: A young man who had passed out at Mr Pincher’s flat after an evening of drinking allegedly wakes up to find the MP “on top of him”, a friend reportedly told The Sun.
– July 2016: Mr Pincher is appointed to the whips office by then-Prime Minister Theresa May.
– November 5, 2017: Mr Pincher resigns and refers himself to the police and the Conservative Party complaints procedure after the former Olympic rower and Tory activist claims Alex Story claimed he had made an unwanted sexual advance nine years previously.
Mr Story, who was a young Tory activist at the time, alleged that the MP untucked the back of his shirt, massaged his neck and whispered: “You’ll go far in the Tory Party”.
In a separate incident, Mr Pincher is also reported to have made an inappropriate advance towards the former Labour MP Tom Blenkinsop.
– 2017: Weeks after his resignation, Mr Pincher allegedly makes an unwanted pass at a junior Tory backbencher, according to The Sunday Times.
– December 23, 2017: A Conservative Party investigating panel clears Mr Pincher of any breach of party rules.
– January 9, 2018: Mr Pincher is appointed as the Government deputy chief whip by Theresa May.
That year a young Conservative MP is said to have received an unwanted physical advance by the Tamworth MP in his parliamentary office, according to The Sunday Times.
Mr Pincher is also alleged to have made an unsolicited sexual approach towards a charity fundraiser at his constituency office, The Sun reported.
– July 2019: Boris Johnson appoints Mr Pincher a foreign minister for Europe and the Americas in his first reshuffle after taking office as prime minister.
Around this time, he is alleged to have made an unwanted advance towards a young Tory activist after inviting him for drinks in his Tamworth constituency, according to The Sunday Times.
– Autumn 2019: Mr Pincher allegedly makes an unwanted advance to a Conservative member in his 20s at a bar during the party’s annual conference in Manchester, The Times reported.
– February 13, 2020: Mr Pincher is appointed Housing Minister.
– 2021: Mr Pincher allegedly makes a pass at a young Tory activist during the Tory party conference in Manchester, according to The Times.
The Mail on Sunday reported that a young Conservative activist is “touched up” by Mr Pincher in a car.
A Conservative MP claims he was groped repeatedly by Mr Pincher near the Carlton Club in December, as well as in June this year within the parliamentary estate, according to The Independent.
– February 8, 2022: Mr Pincher is appointed deputy chief whip alongside new chief whip Chris Heaton-Harris after they ran a shadow whipping operation to shore up support for Mr Johnson as MPs sought to oust him over the Partygate allegations.
The announcement of Mr Pincher’s appointment is delayed while the Cabinet Office propriety and ethics team carry out checks but no reason is found for it not to go ahead.
– June 30, 2022: Mr Pincher resigns as deputy chief whip after allegedly assaulting two fellow guests at the Carlton Club – a Tory Party private members’ club in London’s Piccadilly – the evening before.
– July 1, 2022: The Conservative whip is suspended from Mr Pincher after a formal complaint is made to Parliament’s watchdog that examines allegations of bullying, harassment or sexual misconduct.
The Prime Minister bows after nearly 24 hours of pressure to act against Mr Pincher, suspending the whip while an investigation is ongoing. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/politics/3459310/timeline-of-allegations-surrounding-disgraced-tory-chris-pincher/ | 2022-07-05T01:07:37Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/politics/3459310/timeline-of-allegations-surrounding-disgraced-tory-chris-pincher/ | false |
Huddersfield have been charged by the Football Association for failing to control their fans after their Sky Bet Championship play-off semi-final win against Luton.
Some Terriers fans invaded the pitch after their side beat Luton 1-0 in the second leg at the John Smith’s Stadium to secure a 2-1 aggregate win.
Luton boss Nathan Jones labelled some of Huddersfield’s fans “an absolute disgrace” in his post-match press conference.
Some Terriers supporters ran to the away end to taunt Luton’s fans, while Jones said he and some of his players had been abused by others.
The FA said: “Huddersfield Town FC has been charged with a breach of FA Rule E20.1 following its EFL Championship game against Luton Town FC on Monday 16 May 2022.
“It is alleged Huddersfield Town FC failed to ensure that its spectators, and all persons purporting to be supporters or followers, conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and/or refrained from using provocative and/or threatening and/or violent behaviour whilst encroaching on to the pitch at the end of the game.
“Huddersfield Town FC has until Monday 11 July 2022 to respond.”
The first leg at Kenilworth Road had ended 1-1 before Jordan Rhodes’ solitary late goal clinched the Terriers a 1-0 second-leg win and a place in the Wembley final, which they lost 1-0 to Nottingham Forest. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3459298/huddersfield-charged-by-fa-after-fans-invaded-pitch-in-play-offs-against-luton/ | 2022-07-05T01:09:10Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3459298/huddersfield-charged-by-fa-after-fans-invaded-pitch-in-play-offs-against-luton/ | true |
LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) — The annual Lafayette Stars and Stripes celebration got kicked-off in style Monday morning.
Floats, classic cars, and queens by the dozens were on hand for the morning parade.
The parade began near the Five Points Fire Museum and made its way down Main Street, and ended the festivities in Columbian Park. Greater Lafayette Fire and Police led the pack with lights and sirens blaring.
Dozens of local organizations marched and sang and tossed out candy and toys for kids, and no parade is complete without the Tippecanoe Shriners Club Tippy T's carts.
City Clerk Cindy Murray said that some last minute participation made this year's parade a success.
"I was concerned for the entries there for a while," Murray said. "They weren't coming in as fast as I wanted them to, but there at the end everyone rallied and we were able to get enough to have a decent sized parade."
"I came out to support the Central Catholic boys baseball team," said Central Catholic Patriot, Andrew Buche. "They won the state championship, so I'm out to celebrate with the boys and to celebrate July Fourth."
The Central Catholic Knights beat the Tecumseh Braves to win state this year. They were treated to a fire engine ride in the parade.
The Stars and Stripes concert started at 6 p.m., and fireworks are set to begin at 10 p.m. | https://www.wlfi.com/community/2022-stars-and-stripes-parade-kicks-off-in-style/article_44a228b2-fbea-11ec-99a2-df50fd9540e7.html | 2022-07-05T01:16:35Z | https://www.wlfi.com/community/2022-stars-and-stripes-parade-kicks-off-in-style/article_44a228b2-fbea-11ec-99a2-df50fd9540e7.html | true |

Officials say a person of interest in the July Fourth mass shooting has been taken into custody.
Robert E. Crimo III was spotted driving a silver Honda Fit in north Chicago hours after the attack. When an officer tried to "initiate a traffic stop," the 22-year-old attempted to flee, Highland Park Police Chief Lou Jogmen said in a briefing Monday evening.
"A brief pursuit went on," but ultimately Crimo gave himself up, Jogmen said, adding that he was "taken into custody without incident."
Jogmen said the investigation is moving quickly and noted that Crimo will be questioned by investigators at the department "to make sure or see if, in fact, he is connected to this incident."
When pressed, Jogmen declined to call Crimo a suspect at this stage in the investigation. The police chief said more information was needed to connect him to the shooting that left six dead and dozens of others injured.
Five of the six victims in the attack were adults who died at the scene, Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek said at an earlier briefing. All five have been identified, and families are now being notified.
The sixth victim died at a local hospital. No additional information was provided.
Highland Park Fire Chief Joe Schrage said a child who had been critically injured is among the roughly two dozen people taken to local hospitals. Some of the injuries include gunshot wounds to the abdomen and limbs.
NPR member station WBEZ reported the "vast majority" of the wounded are being treated for gunshot wounds. Some also "sustained injuries as a result of the ensuing chaos at the parade."
Schrage said crews on scene responded quickly as did witnesses who helped tie tourniquets.
The shooter fired on the crowd from a rooftop
Authorities currently have no reason to believe there was more than one shooter, according to Sgt. Christopher Covelli of the Lake County Major Crime Task Force.
The shooter used a high-powered rifle, which is now being investigated by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and was on the roof of a business. They allegedly accessed the roof via an alley using a ladder that was attached to the building and was unsecured.
Cmdr. Chris O'Neill from the Highland Park Police said the crime scene is still active, and officials are clearing buildings in the area. People who sheltered in place are being evacuated to safety.
Witnesses describe chaos, panic and disbelief
Miles Zaremski told NPR that when he first heard the gunshots he mistook them for a car backfiring or fireworks.
"And then all of a sudden, the crowd ... started running in a stampede fashion," he said.
"And then I gingerly went a little bit forward, and all of a sudden I see blood on the cement. And I see individuals in pools of blood ... and I knew there was a mass shooting."
Zaremski said he rushed to help but was quickly moved away by police and emergency services who descended on the scene within moments.
"I saw the carnage, and I almost broke down," he said, shaken by the events.
Zaremski has lived in Highland Park since 1976 and described it as a loving and peaceful community at odds with the chaos he experienced.
"It's surreal. It must have been a science fiction film I just saw, but unfortunately it wasn't," he said. "Our country is a scary place."
The shooting was quick and vicious
O'Neill said the shooter began firing at about 10:14 a.m. local time. It's unclear how many shots were fired, but several witnesses reported hearing about 20 or more rounds.
The incident happened very quickly, and police and fire units were already on scene because of the parade. O'Neill added that the department has trained in rapid deployment, rapid response and rendering aid.
President Biden says he and the first lady are 'shocked'
President Joe Biden, who less than 10 days ago signed a bipartisan gun safety bill, issued a statement hours after the attack.
"Jill and I are shocked by the senseless gun violence that has yet again brought grief to an American community on this Independence Day."
He noted that the new law "includes actions that will save lives."
The measure is the first gun reform legislation passed by Congress in nearly 30 years and was signed about a month after two other mass shootings rocked the nation.
Illinois governor calls the shooter a 'monster'
Illinois Gov. J. B. Pritzker called for prayer in the wake of the "the evil unleashed this morning" but added that prayers alone would not address the problem of gun violence in the country.
"There are no words for the kind of monster who lies in wait and fires into a crowd of families with children celebrating a holiday with their community. There are no words for the kind of evil that robs our neighbors of their hopes, their dreams, their futures," Pritzker said in a statement.
"We must — and we will — end this plague of gun violence."
Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering said: "Our hearts go out to the families of the victims at this devastating time. On a day that we came together to celebrate community and freedom, we are instead mourning the tragic loss of life and struggling with the terror that was brought upon us."

How BBC's Thomas The Tank Engine pilot hit the buffers... and almost derailed completely
- Disaster struck the corporation's botched pilot episode in 1953, it's revealed
- A letter from the original book's creator said an on-air derailment caused chaos
- The next TV adaptation came about through ITV in 1984, narrated by Ringo Starr
- Creator Reverend Wilbert Awdry's letter, worth £300, was found at charity shop
It was the botched television pilot episode that derailed the BBC’s chances at making Thomas The Tank Engine one of their own series.
Disaster struck during the corporation’s initial episode of the story in 1953, it has been revealed. A letter from the book’s creator Reverend Wilbert Awdry says the BBC used a model railway to bring characters in The Sad Story of Henry to life – but live on air one train derailed and a crew member’s hand shot on to screen to rectify it.
It forced the narrator to change track – Rev Awdry claims she ‘tried bravely to adapt the script to suit what was happening’. His letter is the response to one from a disgruntled viewer. He wrote: ‘The fundamental trouble was that the BBC thought that it is child’s play to operate a model railway and did not allow enough time before programme day for the models (a) to be made and tested properly and (b) for very careful rehearsal of their programme.’
He disallowed the BBC to continue after the pilot unless it guaranteed no further mistakes. A BBC spokesman said at the time: ‘We should have had a child in the studio to keep the electric trains running.’
Thomas the Tank Engine (pictured in the 1984 ITV series) went on to be a worldwide sensation
The letter, estimated to sell for at least £300, was found in a charity shop and will be put up for sale by Bellman’s Auctioneers of Wisborough Green, West Sussex, on July 14. The next TV adaptation was not until ITV’s in 1984, narrated by Beatle Ringo Starr.
In the letter, Rev Awdry criticised the show’s producers for treating the performance as ‘child’s play’ and failing to practice the scenes.

Rev Awdry wasn’t as harsh on the narrator of the programme, thought to be Julia Lang, who presented Listen with Mother, or Noelle Middleton, one of the first BBC television announcers.
‘I agree with you that the narrator was much too BBC in the tone of voice, but she must, poor girl, have had rather a trying time,’ he conceded.
‘When things went wrong, she tried bravely to adapt the script to suit what was happening - but events were too much for her in the end!’
Nicholas Worskett, a specialist at Bellman’s Auctioneers, said: ‘Since it was a live broadcast, pre-dating TV recording devices, the original programme is now considered irretrievably lost.
‘It is well-known to aficionados of TV history as a part of entertainment folklore.
‘The majority of letters by Reverend Awdry come from much later during the period of the TV show in the 1980s.
‘This one is therefore unique and difficult to estimate - it could go for higher than £300.’ | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10981929/How-BBCs-Thomas-Tank-Engine-pilot-hit-buffers-derailed-completely.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-07-05T01:20:58Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10981929/How-BBCs-Thomas-Tank-Engine-pilot-hit-buffers-derailed-completely.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true |

Which Under Armour soccer cleats are best?
Soccer is all about the feet. Everything you do involves them, from basic movement to ball shuffling to targeted kicks, so it’s essential to have the right footwear. Under Armour makes a wide range of soccer cleats, so you can find the perfect shoe to match your needs.
The best Under Armour soccer cleats are the Under Armour Men’s Magnetico Pro Hybrid Soccer Cleats. They’re highly flexible and responsive so you can push yourself to run faster than ever, plus the studs are replaceable once they wear out.
What to know before you buy Under Armour soccer cleats
Soccer cleat parts
It’s important to understand all parts of a soccer cleat, not just the studs.
- Upper: This is the majority of the cleat. It can be made of various materials but Under Armour tends to use synthetics for affordability.
- Collar: This is what wraps around your ankle. They can be soft for extra comfort or stiff for extra support.
- Outsole: This is what the studs attach to. It should walk the line between hard and flexible.
- Studs: These are what make cleats, cleats. They come in many forms to best suit the field you play on.
Ankle length
Under Armour makes low-ankle cleats, but there are also high-ankle options found elsewhere. Each has pros and cons.
- Low-ankle cleats end just below the ankle. They offer the widest range of motion but provide no ankle support. They also leave extra space for you to wear thick socks, ankle braces or shin guards.
- High-ankle cleats end at or just above the ankle to offer some extra protection and support. You can still wear other gear, but it won’t be as comfortable. It also lowers your range of motion a little.
What to look for in quality Under Armour soccer cleats
Stud types
There are several types of studs found on Under Armour soccer cleats.
- Firm ground cleats are the most common. They’re medium length and conical to provide traction on real grass and dirt.
- Soft ground cleats are used for muddy ground and waterlogged grass. They’re long and often metal-tipped to keep your feet firmly on the ground.
- Artificial ground cleats are short and circular for maximum grip without piercing the artificial grass.
- Multi-ground cleats are best for players who don’t want or need a different pair for each location they play. These have elements of all the standard studs so they can be effective anywhere. They just won’t be as effective as specific studs.
- Indoor cleats are special studless shoes. These are usually meant for young children playing soccer inside.
Color
Under Armour cleats come in most colors and color combinations, but the most common is plain black. You should be able to match or intentionally clash with any uniform.
How much you can expect to spend on Under Armour soccer cleats
Under Armour soccer cleats typically cost $50-$250. Kid’s cleats typically cost around $50 while average adult cleats typically cost $100-$150. The best Under Armour cleats cost $200-$250.
Under Armour soccer cleats FAQ
Is there a difference between men’s, women’s and unisex soccer cleats?
A. There are a few. The simplest difference is sizing — a men’s size seven is larger than a women’s size seven with unisex shoes falling somewhere in between. Men’s soccer cleats are also wider and longer while women’s are narrower, especially in the heel. Once again, unisex sizes are somewhat in the middle. Women’s soccer cleats also tend to offer more vibrant colors.
How long do Under Armour soccer cleats last?
A. That depends on how you use and maintain them. At worst they should last you through a season, though they may not make it if you play aggressively and use the same pair to practice as you do for your games. At best they can last for a few years, usually at least three before they become noticeably worn.
Can I wear other types of cleats to play soccer?
A. No. Soccer cleats are specially designed for the needs of the sport, just like every other cleat. In particular, they don’t have studs at the tip of the cleat for a cleaner kick. Some leagues even have the officials check every player’s cleats to ensure they’re the right kind — for fairness, safety and to maintain the field.

MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — Alex Morgan scored a pair of first-half goals and the U.S. women’s national team defeated Haiti 3-0 on Monday night in the opening match of the CONCACAF W Championship.
The tournament determines the region’s four direct berths in the 2023 Women’s World Cup, co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand.
Midge Purce also scored for the United States, which has won the past two World Cups.
Morgan opened scoring for the U.S. in the 16th minute with a heel flick off a pass from Mallory Pugh that got past Haiti goalkeeper Lara Larco.
Morgan’s second goal came on a header in the 23rd minute.
Haiti was awarded a penalty in the 42nd but Roselord Borgella’s attempt hit the post and caromed away. Borgella was handed a red card in the 45th, but video review rescinded the call and she was given a yellow.
The United States appeared to score on an own goal in the 78th, but Megan Rapinoe was ruled offside. Purce scored her fourth international goal in the 84th.
Eight teams are split into two groups for the W Championship. The top two finishers in each group earn World Cup berths. The third place finishers in each group advance to a 10-team intercontinental playoff.
The winner of the W Championship also earns a spot in the 2024 Olympics.
Haiti has never qualified for a World Cup or an Olympics. In addition to the United States and Haiti, the group includes Jamaica and Mexico.
Canada, Costa Rica, Panama and Trinidad & Tobago are in the other group.

England second row Jonny Hill has escaped a citing for shoving an Australian opponent in the face in Saturday’s first Test defeat.
Hill forcefully struck Darcy Swain with the palms of both hands early in the match as part of an on-field feud with the Wallabies lock that reached boiling point in the 34th minute.
They clashed in the maul, with Hill pulling Swain’s hair, and when they continued their tussle off the ball the Australian lost his cool by headbutting his rival.
Swain was sent off while Hill was shown a yellow card and head coach Eddie Jones later denied that England had deliberately set out out to provoke the Wallabies forward.
The citing officer has declined to trigger disciplinary proceedings against Hill after deciding his shove to the head was not a red-card offence.
Swain, meanwhile, faces a hearing on Tuesday to determined what sanction he receives.
Jones has also evaded any investigation into his comments that referee James Doleman “evened up” the contest as a result of showing Swain a red card. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3456588/england-second-row-jonny-hill-escapes-citing-for-shoving-australia-rival/ | 2022-07-05T01:39:41Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3456588/england-second-row-jonny-hill-escapes-citing-for-shoving-australia-rival/ | false |
Nottingham Forest have made French defender Giulian Biancone their third signing following promotion to the Premier League.
The 22-year-old arrives at the City Ground from Ligue 1 side Troyes on a three-year deal to join on-loan Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson and Nigerian forward Taiwo Awoniyi as new recruits for Forest boss Steve Cooper.
Biancone, who has represented France Under-19s, told nottinghamforest.co.uk: “I am very happy to arrive at a club like Nottingham Forest after a good experience with my former club Troyes.
“I know it’s a big club, very known across Europe and I’m very excited to be joining the club, with its great fanbase and history.
“Having spoken to the head coach, it’s clear that there are exciting times ahead and I’m looking (forward) to joining up with my new team-mates and getting started in the Premier League.”
Head coach Cooper added: “Giulian is a very talented defender who has attracted a lot of interest from clubs across Europe. He’s proven himself at the highest level in France and Belgium over recent years, and he recognises what we want to build at Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
“He’s a versatile defender who is a very strong addition at centre-back or on the right and we’re delighted to welcome him to Nottingham Forest.” | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3456630/nottingham-forest-bring-in-french-defender-giulian-biancone/ | 2022-07-05T01:40:04Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3456630/nottingham-forest-bring-in-french-defender-giulian-biancone/ | false |
England will showcase stars of the women’s game over the coming weeks as the European Championship takes place around the country.
Here, the PA news agency looks at some names to keep an eye out for when the action gets under way from Wednesday.
Lauren Hemp
Hosts England have a formidable attack and one of the players to have frequently shone within it is Manchester City winger Hemp. The 21-year-old, who was part of Great Britain’s side at the Tokyo Olympics last summer, heads into her first major tournament with the Lionesses after a season in which she broke her duck for the team – in her 14th cap – when notching four times against Latvia last November, and registered 21 goals and 10 assists for City. She was named PFA young player of the year for a third successive season and fourth time in total.
Rachel Furness
The Liverpool midfielder is the most prominent figure in a Northern Ireland outfit making history as they embark upon the team’s major tournament debut. Having helped them secure their Euros spot via a play-off triumph over Ukraine in April last year, Furness, 34, then became her country’s record scorer as her tally moved to 38 in a November win against North Macedonia, and was subsequently named BBC Northern Ireland Sports Personality of the Year. Her 2021-22 concluded with Liverpool having sealed promotion back to the Women’s Super League.
Vivianne Miedema
Miedema was certainly one of the stars of the last Euros, netting four times in the knockout rounds, including twice in the final, as a Netherlands side managed by current England boss Sarina Wiegman claimed the trophy on home soil. As well as being her country’s all-time top scorer, the Arsenal striker is also the WSL’s record holder with 74 goals. Fourteen of those came last season, after which she ended uncertainty about her future by signing a new contract with the Gunners.
Alexia Putellas
A player who could prove the standout of this tournament is Spain and Barcelona’s Putellas, the current holder of the Ballon d’Or. The midfielder collected that award after helping Barca to win the Champions League, and was the top scorer in the 2021-22 competition, with 11 goals, as the team finished as runners-up.
Ada Hegerberg
Barca were beaten 3-1 in this year’s Champions League final by Lyon, with Hegerberg, the 2018 Ballon d’Or winner, key to the French side’s victory. The 26-year-old forward scored one goal, extending her record tally in the competition to 59, and teed up another as she continued her comeback from injury that began in October after more than 18 months out. Now her attention turns to the Euros, having returned to the Norway squad in March five years on from stepping away from the team, unhappy with the way women’s football was being run in the country. The Norwegians are in the same group as England and Northern Ireland.
Wendie Renard
Lyon’s win in May marked an eighth Champions League triumph for their skipper Renard, who also captains France. One of the great centre-backs of her generation, the 31-year-old heads into the Euros with more than 130 international appearances to her name and an impressive record of 33 goals for Les Bleues. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3457197/from-hemp-to-hegerberg-the-players-to-watch-at-euro-2022/ | 2022-07-05T01:41:21Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3457197/from-hemp-to-hegerberg-the-players-to-watch-at-euro-2022/ | true |
Traralgon flood evacuation order was too late, authorities say after flood report release
Emergency Management Victoria has admitted that its warning systems failed flood victims in eastern Victoria in June last year.
Key points:
- Emergency Management Victoria has released a report into its handling of storms in June 2021 flooded parts of Traralgon and left thousands without power
- Almost a third of residents surveyed for the report did not recall receiving any warning prior to the extreme weather
- The Victorian opposition has criticised the report, saying people did not know about the flooding until it was too late
By the time authorities issued their evacuate now notice for Traralgon residents at 10am on Thursday, June 10 2021, many of those who live near Traralgon Creek were already inundated with water.
"That says someone wasn't watching the whole monitoring network or properly transferring that information."
Almost a third of residents surveyed by Emergency Management Victoria (EMV) did not recall receiving any warning or alert prior to the extreme weather event, and of those that did, only one‑fifth (19 per cent) believed warnings contained enough information to take appropriate action.
The report has also highlighted the need for non-technical language for flood warnings and more clarity about the differences between minor, moderate and major flood warnings.
Ms Bath said the report had fallen short of community expectations and failed to incorporate any meaningful change.
"It actually doesn't have any findings or recommendations for EMV or for the community to have confidence that the flood and storm events that ripped through Gippsland won't actually affect them to the same degree," she said.
Authorities concede evacuation order came too late
EMV commissioner Andrew Crisp praised those involved in the relief effort but conceded there were shortcomings.
"There were challenges ... intelligence gathering, communication, and warnings were affected by the extreme weather and the significant impact on critical infrastructure including energy and telecommunications," Mr Crisp said.
He said prior to the evacuation order, authorities issued an emergency warning about 4am on the day of the floods.
"That was acknowledged by the incident controller at a public meeting only a couple of days after the event itself."
He said while the report did not contain recommendations "per se", it did contain lessons for authorities.
Hard to get flood warnings right
The EMV report concedes, that emergency personnel found it challenging to provide accurate and localised warnings during the June 2021 flood due to high winds, which uprooted trees and brought down power lines.
The report details that in this storm the winds were unusual in that they came from the south-east, exposing large and typically sheltered trees.
"The ability to accurately warn for high-end, localised, damaging to destructive winds is limited by the complexities involved in predicting the structure and evolution of these systems," the report states.
All contact lost
The June 2021 storm caused widespread power outages across Gippsland, leaving many residents stranded without power or communications.
And work to restore electricity took too long due to extensive damage to the power distribution network and accessibility issues for AusNet crews.
"High dependence on technology and the internet to disseminate and receive information created challenges during this event and resulted in reports of some community members being unable to access information in the days following," the EMV report states.
Changes afoot
Emergency Management Victoria said Victoria was the first state in Australia to implement the new "Australian Warning System" in 2021 to provide clearer messaging around future disasters.

He also shared a snap of him exploring the streets of the Spanish city, as well as a video diving in the pool
Cody, who has previously dated Gigi Hadid and Miley Cyrus, also shared a snap inside the pool posing with his new girlfriend Emma - an 11 times Olympic medallist and her teammate Taylor Mckeown, also an Olympian.
A fourth photo showed Cody walking up the stairs carrying two coffees, two croissants and a pizza - indicating he may be treating his new love interest to breakfast in bed.
He also shared a snap of him exploring the streets of the Spanish city, as well as a team Australia towel.

The star also couldn't help but show off his buff physique with a video and picture of his land training.
In one picture, Cody showed his strong arms as he climbed up a rope in the gym, while in another he dangled from a bar as he did pull-ups.
It comes as Cody went 'Instagram official' with Emma.
The pair began dating several months ago after Simpson, a successful singer-songwriter, ditched his music career to focus on competitive swimming.

He posted a gallery of photos on Instagram earlier this week of himself and fellow swimmer holding hands in Barcelona.
'A brief rendezvous in Barcelona with my love, Emma,' he captioned the images of the pair smiling and holding hands as they walked down the street.
Before their trip to Spain, Simpson and McKeon had not been seen together since they walked the red carpet at the Elvis premiere on the Gold Coast on June 4.
The pair are said to have first hit it off several months ago as training partners under gun coach Michael Bohl.
Simpson is hoping to turn his Olympic dream into a reality in Paris in 2024 while McKeon, who made history in Tokyo 2021 with a seven-medal haul, is looking to back up her record-breaking performance.
The pair found themselves in the middle of a reputed 'love triangle' during the Australian Championships in Adelaide, with reports claiming Kyle Chalmers deliberately bumped Simpson out of World Championship eligibility in the 100m butterfly by opting to contest the event.
However, Chalmers, who dated McKeon for several months in 2021,later disputed this, saying he had always planned to compete in that event. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10982023/Cody-Simpson-struggles-speak-Spanish-orders-room-service-Barcelona.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-05T01:55:20Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10982023/Cody-Simpson-struggles-speak-Spanish-orders-room-service-Barcelona.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |

Bidens 'shocked' by Chicago-area shooting as White House marks July Fourth
President Joe Biden began Independence Day by sharing a message that looked to the country's future, but quickly had to respond to another mass shooting in the United States.
"Jill and I are shocked by the senseless gun violence that has yet again brought grief to an American community on this Independence Day," the president said in a statement Monday after at least six people were killed in a shooting in Highland Park, Illinois, during a July Fourth parade.
Biden noted that he had "surged Federal law enforcement to assist in the urgent search for the shooter, who remains at large at this time," and pointed to the gun safety legislation he recently signed into law. "But there is much more work to do, and I'm not going to give up fighting the epidemic of gun violence," he added.
Later on Monday, Biden declined to say whether stricter gun laws would have prevented the deadly shooting when pressed by CNN's MJ Lee. "We don't know the circumstances yet," he said.
Vice President Kamala Harris, who's in California for the holiday, touted the recently signed legislation in her own statement, but added, "Today's shooting is an unmistakable reminder that more should be done to address gun violence in our country."
In remarks commemorating July Fourth with military families at the White House later in the afternoon, Biden made reference to the new gun safety law and the Illinois shooting, saying, "You all heard what happened today. ... Each day we're reminded there's nothing guaranteed about our democracy, nothing guaranteed about our way of life."
The president called on Americans to fight for democracy, while also broadly acknowledging national challenges.
"Our economy is growing, but not without pain. Liberty is under assault -- assault both here and abroad," he said, alluding to the US Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade last month.
"In recent days, there's been reason to think that this country is moving backwards. That freedom has been reduced. That rights we assumed are no longer -- a reminder that we remain in an ongoing battle for the soul of America, as we have for over 200 years."
Video below: Police describe suspect in Illinois parade shooting
The July Fourth holiday comes amid a challenging time for the nation marked by deepening division, inflation and a recent set of polling showing that the vast majority of Americans across party lines are unhappy with the state of the U.S.
In an AP-NORC survey released last week, 85% of US adults say that things in the country are headed in the wrong direction, with just 14% believing things are going in the right direction. That's a more pessimistic reading than in May, when 78% said things were headed the wrong way and 21% that things were generally moving in the right direction. And currently, both 92% of Republicans and 78% of Democrats are dissatisfied with the direction of the country -- the highest number among Democrats since Biden took office last year.

Still, Biden attempted to reassure Americans, saying, "I know it can be exhausting and unsettling, but tonight I want you to know we're going to get through all this."
America, he emphasized, is and always will be a "work in progress."
"It has so often been the case that after we've taken giant steps forward, we've taken a few steps backwards. And after doing the hard work of laying the foundation for a better future, the worst of our past has reached out and pulled us back on occasion. But I know this: From the deepest depths of our worst crises, we've always risen to our higher heights," Biden told the crowd on the South Lawn. "We've always come out better than we went in."
Earlier in the day, Biden had released a forward-looking statement about how the "best days still lie ahead."
"The Fourth of July is a sacred day in our country -- it's a time to celebrate the goodness of our nation, the only nation on Earth founded based on an idea: that all people are created equal," Biden said in a tweet. "Make no mistake, our best days still lie ahead." | https://www.wgal.com/article/bidens-shocked-chicago-area-shooting-white-house-marks-july-fourth/40504385 | 2022-07-05T02:05:58Z | https://www.wgal.com/article/bidens-shocked-chicago-area-shooting-white-house-marks-july-fourth/40504385 | false |

Abstract
Autopsies of accidental deaths in industrial scenarios have always been a challenging job for a forensic pathologist. Industries that employ chemical agents pose a unique risk, especially when safety protocols are ignored. Exposure to cyanide salts creates an additional risk since death may occur quickly. We present one such incident of the accidental deaths of three industrial workers, which could have been prevented if proper safety measures had been followed. Four workers fell unconscious while cleaning the electroplating chamber of the handicraft industry. Three were declared dead on arrival at the emergency department, while one survived. Autopsy of all three victims showed similar findings of pink-colored post-mortem staining and multiple petechial hemorrhages over the heart and lungs. After histopathological and chemical analysis, the cause of death was opined to be due to complications of cyanide poisoning. In accidental industrial deaths, the forensic pathologist should consider the possibility of death due to toxic chemicals, such as cyanide, used in the manufacturing process. The industrial personnel should be educated about the risks involved, and proper use of safety equipment should be encouraged to avoid such hazardous outcomes. Additionally, the people employed in the autopsy of the deaths related to chemical disasters should ensure their personal safety and preventive measures.

WASHINGTON — The nation was shaken once again on Monday following a deadly mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade in suburban Chicago. At least 6 people were killed and at least 30 were wounded.
Police say hundreds of marchers, parents with strollers and children on bicycles fled in terror when a gunman on a rooftop opened fire on the Highland Park parade.
Who is the July 4 parade shooting 'person of interest'?
Highland Park Police Chief Lou Jogmen said Monday afternoon that police had identified 22-year-old Robert "Bobby" E. Crimo III as a person of interest. Police declined to answer questions about how they identified Crimo.
More than a dozen police officers on Monday evening surrounded a home listed as an address for Crimo in Highland Park. Some officers held rifles as they fixed their eyes on the home. An armored vehicle was also parked in the middle of the road.
Around 7:30 p.m. Eastern, authorities announced Crimo was taken into custody after a North Chicago police officer spotted him. While there was a brief police chase, Highland Park authorities said he was eventually taken into custody without incident.
During a press conference announcing Crimo had been taken into custody Monday evening, authorities said they believed he was solely responsible for the mass shooting at the parade.
An FBI wanted poster described his tattoos as including "four tally marks with a line through them on his right cheek, red roses and green leaves on his neck, and cursive script above his left eyebrow."
The FBI poster also noted he has ties in Illinois to Rockford, DeKalb and Elgin
What happened in Highland Park?
The shooting occurred at a spot on the parade route where many residents had staked out prime viewing points early in the day for the annual celebration. Dozens of fired bullets sent hundreds of parade-goers — some visibly bloodied — fleeing. They left a trail of abandoned items that showed everyday life suddenly, violently disrupted: A half-eaten bag of potato chips; a box of chocolate cookies spilled onto the grass; a child’s Chicago Cubs cap.

DALLAS — Fair Park Fourth resumed for the first time Monday night since COVID-19 took hold of Dallas in 2020.
Sadly — the return of the event along with other festivities in DFW — couldn’t be fully enjoyed without the headline of another mass shooting in America in the back of minds.
During a parade for Independence Day in Highland Park, Illinois Monday—a shooter opened fire into a crowd killing at least 6 and wounding at least 30.
Eleina Rosales was among the thousands who went into the Cotton Bowl Monday night for fireworks. While she was excited, she said the event is no different than the parade in Highland Park.
“You just can’t feel safe anymore,” Rosales said. “The people deciding to do this kind of stuff when all the families are getting to celebrate is not right. We’re proud to be here, and we’re proud to be Americans. We just want to be here celebrating but not feel insecure about it."
Sources within the Dallas Police Department informed WFAA that the shooting didn’t alter security plans for the event on Monday night.
However, officers and deputies with the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office were more alert than usual.
“Seeing all the cops and stuff makes us feel a little safer,” mother Olivia Wreh said. “That shooting was in the back of my mind coming here.”
Highland Park, Illinois shooting
According to officials, a gunman on a rooftop opened fire just after 10 a.m. during the parade in suburban Chicago Monday.
A person of interested in the shooting was taken into custody after an hourslong manhunt. The person of interest was identified as Robert Crimo III.
Lake County officials said "several of the deceased victims" died at the scene and one was taken to a hospital and died there. | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/law-enforcement-on-higher-alert-during-fair-park-fourth-after-illinois-mass-shooting/287-74a60142-fb13-4952-917d-c61cb8f6106f | 2022-07-05T02:47:27Z | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/law-enforcement-on-higher-alert-during-fair-park-fourth-after-illinois-mass-shooting/287-74a60142-fb13-4952-917d-c61cb8f6106f | false |

Drake Joins Backstreet Boys to Perform ‘I Want It That Way’ at Toronto Show – Watch
Drake lived out his childhood dream as a sixth member of the Backstreet Boys. Drizzy joined the 1990s boy band to perform "I Want It That Way" at their Toronto show.
On July 2, Drake, rocking a C-Murder T-shirt and denim jeans, joined the Backstreet Boys as a temporary sixth member during their concert at the Budweiser Stage in Toronto.
The OVO Sound leader’s appearance was a big surprise for the sold-out crowd as he and the Boys performed a special rendition of their chart-topping hit “I Want It That Way,” according to wionews.com.
Drake also posted a 10-second clip of his performance on his Instagram page, which showed him crooning along to the infectious line, “'Cause I want it that way.”
“When she says she’s over men in this generation and asks why I live alone...,” the 6 God joked in the caption.
The Backstreet Boys also shared a clip of the performance on their Twitter page, tweeting, "What’s better than I Want It That Way? I Want It That Way....f/ @Drake."
Meanwhile, a much longer video of the performance was shared on BoyBandBreak’s YouTube channel, which features Drake delivering a jokey monologue about him being the sixth member of the Backstreet Boys. The Honestly, Nevermind creator also told a childhood story about himself dancing with a girl that he had a crush on during his bar mitzvah. Drizzy added that playing in the background was The Backstreet Boys’ tune, "I Want It That Way."
"It’s one of the greatest songs in music history," Drake told the audience.
From there, the Backstreet Boys segued into singing their classic pop ballad much to the crowd’s delight as Drake causally harmonize in the background.

Which Home Depot wood fencing is best?
You can buy fences to keep things out, fences to keep things in and fences that provide an attractive backdrop. Contractors and homeowners pick the type of fence they need at Home Depot and choose the kind of wood they want, too.
If you’re looking for a classic picket fence kit that contains everything but the posts, take a look at the Outdoor Essentials Cedar Picket Fence Panel Kit.
What to know before you buy wood fencing at Home Depot
There are fences made of metal, stone, wire and plastic — even invisible fences. Home Depot has several types of wood fences, each made to do a particular job.
- Picket fences: The design is simple — upright stakes with pointy tops are mounted side by side with narrow spaces in between. Picket fences are usually 3 or 4 feet tall, don’t provide security or privacy, but do serve as boundary fences for small kids and pets.
- Post and rail: This horizontal fence is regularly seen around ranches and farms. The fence is made of three or four horizontal boards attached to vertical posts spaced about 6 to 8 feet apart. Post and rail fences establish boundaries and keep large animals in, but don’t provide privacy or security.
- Vertical planks: This simple design uses wide boards mounted vertically, usually in 6- and 8-foot lengths. These fences provide visual privacy at the expense of blocking the breeze.
- Lattice: When thin wooden slats are woven together with spaces in between, the result is a lattice fence that provides partial privacy, lots of style and a place for your climbing plants and flowers to flourish.
- Louver: This horizontal fence has long, narrow slats angled to overlap each other so you can’t see through them. The small gaps between the overlaps let some air pass through.
What to look for in quality wood fencing at Home Depot
Attributes
- Privacy: If privacy is important to you, you want a fence that blocks outsiders’ ability to see inside. Blocking vision usually comes at the expense of blocking air and light, too, so plan accordingly.
- Security: If you want a fence secure enough to keep people out, choose a sturdy plank or louvered fence.
- Containment: If you want to keep kids and pets inside, a simple picket fence will do. If you want horses and cows to stay on your land, a post and rail fence is a great choice.
- Beautification: If you like the look of climbing plants and flowers, pick a lattice fence. It gives them a place to grow up and out while providing habitat for bees and birds.
Type of wood
- Pine: This is the most common wood for fences because it’s inexpensive and easy to work with. Pine has no resistance to insects, weather or decay, though, so it requires regular painting or staining.
- Redwood: This long-lasting wood is sturdy and resists insects and rot, but its aesthetic appeal is the real draw for homeowners. Over time, exposure to sunlight, rain and snow leads to decay and splintering, however, so you need to stain or paint your redwood fence if you want it to have a longer life.
- Cypress and cedar: The oils inside these woods give them natural protection against insects and splintering.
- Composite lumber: When plastics and binding agents are added to wood fibers, the result is a composite lumber that is denser, stronger and more durable than wood alone. Fences made of composite lumber resist water, mold and surface damage and need no painting or staining.
How much you can expect to spend on wood fencing at Home Depot
Individual pickets, planks and posts cost $2-$40, depending upon the type of wood and its dimensions. Pre-made panels cost $50-$300.
Wood fencing at Home Depot FAQ
Does all wood fencing need maintenance?
A. Organic materials need ongoing care to stand up to rainy springs, blistering summers and freezing winters while maintaining their beauty. Taking proper care of your wood fence with paint, stain or sealant is the best way to extend its life.
Is there one type of wooden fence that does it all?
A. No. Generally speaking, when you choose a fence, you are making trade-offs. If you want privacy, you have to give up the free flow of air; if you want the utmost in security, function wins out over style.

Australian Government must ramp up defence against FMD after Bali cases: NFF
The National Farmers’ Federation is calling on the Federal Government to immediately “step up Australia’s defence” against foot and mouth disease after Indonesian authorities confirmed it had been detected in Bali.
News of cases in the tourist hotspot broke on Monday, prompting the NFF to release a statement expressing its “extreme concern”.
With the highly infectious livestock disease now a step closer to Australia’s doorstep, NFF president Fiona Simson also called on Australian travellers to take extra precautions.
“The news that FMD has reached Bali has sent a shiver up the spine of Australian farmers, as the risk of it reaching our shores has undoubtedly grown,” she said.
“The Australian Government must undertake rapid risk analysis to ensure our prevention measures are equal to this new level of risk.”
With international borders finally open and travel returning to pre-COVID-19 levels, Australia has recorded nearly 574,000 arrivals and 607,000 departures in April alone, according to the Australian Bureau of statistics.
In 2019, about 1.2m Australians visited Indonesia.
The NFF urged travellers to be on high alert to ensure the “devastating” disease did not spread to Australia.
This included declaring any farm visits or contact with animals in infected countries upon arrival in Australia, and ensuring all footwear, clothing and equipment was free of mud, animal manure and mucus.
“Australians have done the right thing through COVID, taking precautions to stop the spread,” Ms Simson said.
“Our farmers now need travellers to treat the threat of FMD with the same amount of caution.”
FMD has been running rampant throughout Indonesia since early May and has now spread to 22 provinces, with more than 230,000 confirmed cases.
The NFF said the Federal Government must continue supporting Indonesia, as one of Australia’s closest trading partners, to control the spread and protect Australia’s agriculture industries.
Recent modelling by the Federal Government’s commodity forecaster ABARES indicated an outbreak of FMD would cost Australia revenue losses of up to $80b over 10 years.
Australia’s agricultural industry exports about two-thirds of what it produces, with market access underpinning the nation’s strong commodity prices in recent years.
An FMD outbreak in Australia would see meat and livestock export industries frozen overnight and create flow-on effects in other sectors, including grain.
“Our ability to produce food and fibre for Australians and the world would take a major blow, which is why biosecurity is important to every single person,” Ms Simson said.
“We urge travellers to be patient and work with authorities, who we hope will be taking every step to minimise risk at our borders.”
FMD is a viral disease affecting all cloven-hoofed animals including cattle, sheep and pigs.
It can be carried on live animals as well as in meat, dairy products, soil, vehicles and equipment, clothing and footwear.

S. Korea begins transporting country's 1st lunar orbiter to U.S. for Aug. launch
SEOUL, July 5 (Yonhap) -- South Korea on Tuesday started transporting the country's first lunar orbiter to the United States ahead of next month's launch using a SpaceX rocket, officials said.
South Korea plans to launch the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter, also known as Danuri, aboard the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida at 8:24 a.m. on Aug. 3 (Korean Time).
According to the Ministry of Science and ICT, Danuri was sent from the Korea Aerospace Research Institute in Daejeon, 160 kilometers south of Seoul, to Incheon International Airport, west of Seoul, in a specially designed container.
The orbiter will be flown to Orlando International Airport and arrive at the Floridian space center Thursday. It will later undergo maintenance, assembly and other pre-launch preparations for about a month before launch.
Danuri will begin circling around the moon in December and conduct a yearlong mission to observe it using an array of instruments, including cameras and magnetometers. It will also identify potential landing sites for future lunar missions.
Last month, South Korea successfully launched its first homegrown space rocket, Nuri, also known as KSLV-II, from the country's southern coastal village of Goheung in a major milestone in the nation's space program.
South Korea launched a preliminary feasibility study for the successor to the Nuri rocket, with the goal of sending a lunar landing module to the moon in 2031.

Police find man suspected in shooting at Chicago-area parade
The 22-year-old man identified as a person of interest in the July 4 parade shooting in suburban Chicago has been taken into custody, police said.
Highland Park Police chief Lou Jogmen earlier said Robert E Crimo III should be considered armed and dangerous and was pulled over by police on Monday evening after a brief pursuit.
At least six people were killed and 30 wounded after a gunman on a rooftop opened fire on an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago, sending hundreds of marchers, parents with strollers and children on bicycles fleeing in terror.
The suspect remained on the loose for hours after the incident as authorities scoured the area and police surrounded a home listed as his possible address.
The July 4 shooting was just the latest to shatter the rituals of American life. Schools, churches, grocery stores and now community parades have all become killing grounds in recent months. This time, the bloodshed came as the nation tried to find cause to celebrate its founding and the bonds that still hold it together.
“It is devastating that a celebration of America was ripped apart by our uniquely American plague,” Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said at a news conference.
“I’m furious because it does not have to be this way… while we celebrate the Fourth of July just once a year, mass shootings have become a weekly — yes, weekly — American tradition.”
The shooting occurred at a spot on the parade route where many residents had staked out prime viewing points early in the day for the annual celebration.
Dozens of fired bullets sent hundreds of parade-goers — some visibly bloodied — fleeing. They left a trail of abandoned items that showed everyday life suddenly, violently disrupted: A half-eaten bag of potato chips; a box of chocolate cookies spilled onto the grass; a child’s Chicago Cubs cap.
Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli said at a news conference “several of the deceased victims” died at the scene and one was taken to a hospital and died there. Police have not released details about the victims or wounded.
Lake County coroner Jennifer Banek said the five people killed at the parade were adults, but did not have information on the sixth victim who was taken to a hospital and died there.
One of those killed was a Mexican national, Roberto Velasco, Mexico’s director for North American affairs, said on Twitter on Monday. He said two other Mexicans were wounded.
NorthShore University Health Centre received 26 patients after the attack. All but one had gunshot wounds, said Dr Brigham Temple, medical director of emergency preparedness. Their ages ranged from 8 to 85, and Dr Temple estimated that four or five patients were children.
Dr Temple said 19 of them were treated and discharged. Others were transferred to other hospitals, while two patients, in stable condition, remained at the Highland Park hospital.
The gunman opened fire around 10.15 am, when the parade was about three-quarters through, authorities said.
Highland Park Police commander Chris O’Neill, the incident commander on scene, said the gunman apparently used a “high-powered rifle” to fire from a spot atop a commercial building where he was “very difficult to see”.
He said the rifle was recovered at the scene. Police also found a ladder attached to the building.
“Very random, very intentional and a very sad day,” Mr Covelli said.
President Joe Biden on Monday said he and first lady Jill Biden were “shocked by the senseless gun violence that has yet again brought grief to an American community on this Independence Day”.
Mr Biden signed the widest-ranging gun violence bill passed by Congress in decades, a compromise that showed at once both progress on a long-intractable issue and the deep-seated partisan divide that persists.
Highland Park is a close-knit community of about 30,000 people located on the shores of Lake Michigan just north of Chicago, with mansions and sprawling lakeside estates that have long drawn the rich and sometimes famous, including NBA legend Michael Jordan, who lived in the city for years when he played for the Chicago Bulls.
Mr Pritzker, a Democrat, promised support for the community as well as to bring the gunman to justice.
“There are no words for the kind of evil that shows up at a public celebration of freedom, hides on a roof and shoots innocent people with an assault rifle,” Mr Pritzker said. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-10982245/Police-man-suspected-shooting-Chicago-area-parade.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-05T03:41:18Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-10982245/Police-man-suspected-shooting-Chicago-area-parade.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |
Chris Flexen pitches Mariners to victory over Padres
Right-hander Chris Flexen shut out San Diego on four hits over 6 2/3 innings, Cal Raleigh drove in four runs and Rookie of the Year candidate Julio Rodriguez hit a tape-measure, two-run homer Monday afternoon as the visiting Seattle Mariners defeated the Padres 8-2 in the opener of a two-game interleague series.
The win was the Mariners' sixth in the last seven games. Seattle is 11-3 over the last 14 games. The Padres are 2-7 over their last nine games.
Flexen (5-8) retired the first 10 Padres he faced before issuing a walk to Manny Machado with one out in the fourth. Jake Cronenworth followed with the first of the Padres' four hits off Flexen, who issued three walks with eight strikeouts.
Meanwhile, the Mariners were scoring four runs off Sean Manaea in 3 1/3 innings in the left-hander's shortest start of the season. Manaea (3-4) gave up eight hits and four walks with three strikeouts.
The Mariners scored twice in the first on one-out singles by J.P. Crawford and Eugenio Suarez followed by a walk drawn by Carlos Santana. Crawford scored on Raleigh's ground out and Abraham Toro followed with an RBI double.
Rodriguez's homer onto the upper balcony of the Western Metal Supply Co. building in left came one out after Dylan Moore's inning-opening single in the fourth.
Raleigh hit a three-run double off reliever Taylor Scott in the sixth. Rodriguez reached on a throwing error by third baseman Machado to open the inning. Crawford followed with a single and Santana drew a one-out walk to load the bases for the catcher.
Seattle added an unearned run on a throwing error by Padres relief pitcher Tim Hill in the eighth.
Santana reached base in all five plate appearances with two hits, three walks and two runs scored. Crawford was 3-for-5 with two runs scored. Rodriguez also scored twice.
Trent Grisham hit a two-run homer in the ninth off left-handed Mariners reliever Tommy Milone for the Padres' only runs.

Copper wallows near multi-month lows as recession fears bite
July 5 (Reuters) - Copper prices languished near 17-month lows on Tuesday on heightened worries that aggressive rate hikes by central banks to tackle soaring inflation would push economies into a recession and dent demand for metals. FUNDAMENTALS * Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange was down 0.2% at $7,993 a tonne, as of 0244 GMT, after hitting its lowest since February 2021 at $7,918 on Monday. * The most-traded August copper contract in Shanghai fell 0.7% to 60,770 yuan ($9,081.54) a tonne. * Pulling down economic activity are soaring inflation and interest rate hikes in many countries including the United States where the Federal Reserve is expected to deliver another 75-basis-point hike this month. * China's services activity snapped three months of losses in June and grew at the fastest rate in almost a year as easing COVID-19 curbs revived demand, although firms remained cautious about hiring, a private-sector survey showed. * Japan's services sector activity expanded at the fastest pace in more than eight years in June as the easing of coronavirus curbs boosted sentiment among businesses such as those in tourism. * Mainland China reported 418 new coronavirus cases for July 4, compared with 460 new cases a day earlier, the National Health Commission said. * The premium for aluminium shipments to Japanese buyers for July to September was set at $148 a tonne, down 14% from the previous quarter, to reflect weak demand for automobiles and rising local inventory. * Chile's total copper production fell 2.55% in May to reach 478,800 tonnes, government body Cochilco said on Monday. * Global copper smelting activity declined in June, hit by a stoppage in top producer Chile, data from satellite surveillance of metal processing plants showed on Monday.

Joey Chestnut is chomp champ again in July 4 hot dog contest
Frankfurter-munching phenom Joey "Jaws" Chestnut gobbled his way to a 15th win Monday at the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July hot dog eating contest, powering down 63 hot dogs and buns at the annual exhibition of excess.
In a decisive chowdown comeback, women's record-holder Miki Sudo downed 40 wieners and buns to win the women's title after skipping last year's frank fest because she was pregnant.
Monday also marked the contest's return to its traditional location outside Nathan's flagship shop in Brooklyn's Coney Island neighborhood. The event was relocated in 2020 and last year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
"It's beautiful to be back here" in front of a throng of spectators, Chestnut told ESPN after his feat, which the 38-year-old managed while wearing a surgical boot because of a leg injury.
"It hurts, but I was in the zone for a little bit. I was ignoring it," said Chestnut, but the pain eventually slowed his pace in the 10-minute competition.
Last year, the Westfield, Indiana, resident topped his own record by consuming 76 franks and buns.
Sudo, of Tampa, Florida, set the women's record at 48 1/2 weiners and buns in 2020, before taking last year off while expecting. She and Nick Wehry — a fellow competitive eater whom she met through the Nathan's contest in 2018 — welcomed son Max on July 8, 2021.
From dad's arms, the baby watched his 36-year-old mother notch her eighth Nathan's win. She told ESPN afterward that she hoped he would someday take a message away from it.
"I want to set an example," she said, "to do things that you love and push yourself to your absolute limits and, when things get difficult, to still give it a try. And, you know, you might actually just come out victorious."
Sudo then took over parenting duties while Wehry tried for the men's title.
In conjunction with the spectacle, Nathan's donates 100,000 franks to the Food Bank for New York City. | https://www.4029tv.com/article/joey-chestnut-is-chomp-champ-again-july-4-hot-dog-contest/40502082 | 2022-07-05T03:44:05Z | https://www.4029tv.com/article/joey-chestnut-is-chomp-champ-again-july-4-hot-dog-contest/40502082 | false |
BERLIN (AP) — A 101-year-old man who was convicted last week as an accessory to murder for serving as a guard at a Nazi concentration camp during World War II has appealed, a German court said Monday.
The man, whom local media have identified as Josef S., was convicted last Tuesday of more than 3,500 counts of accessory to murder and sentenced to five years in prison.
He had denied working as an SS guard at the Sachsenhausen camp and aiding and abetting the murder of thousands of prisoners. But the Neuruppin state court concluded that he did in fact work at the camp on the outskirts of Berlin between 1942 and 1945 as an enlisted member of the Nazi Party’s paramilitary wing.
Prosecutors had based their case on documents relating to an SS guard with the man’s name, date and place of birth, as well as other documents.
The five-year prison sentence was in line with the prosecution’s demand. The defendant’s lawyer had sought an acquittal.
The Neuruppin court said Monday that the defendant has now filed an appeal. It wasn’t immediately clear when it might be considered. | https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/germany-101-year-old-appeals-conviction-in-nazi-guard-case/ | 2022-07-05T03:47:29Z | https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/germany-101-year-old-appeals-conviction-in-nazi-guard-case/ | true |
A satellite the size of a microwave oven successfully broke free from its orbit around Earth and is headed toward the moon.
It's the latest step in NASA's plan to land astronauts on the lunar surface again. The Capstone satellite will take four months to reach the moon as it cruises along using minimal energy. Rocket Lab company founder Peter Beck told The Associated Press the experience of seeing the project come together and send the spacecraft on the way to the moon was "just absolutely epic." The plan is for the satellite to orbit the moon in a stretched-out egg shape to save fuel and stay in contact with Earth.
NASA eventually plans to put a space station in the same orbital path.
Rocket Lab founder Peter Beck said it was hard to put his excitement into words.
“It’s probably going to take a while to sink in. It’s been a project that has taken us two, two-and-a-half years and is just incredibly, incredibly difficult to execute,” he said. “So to see it all come together tonight and see that spacecraft on its way to the moon, it’s just absolutely epic.” | https://www.kgun9.com/news/national/nasa-satellite-breaks-from-orbit-around-earth-heads-to-moon | 2022-07-05T03:48:04Z | https://www.kgun9.com/news/national/nasa-satellite-breaks-from-orbit-around-earth-heads-to-moon | false |
Sandy Alcantara is pitching like a contender for the Cy Young Award. If he wins it, that would be a first for the Miami Marlins.
The Marlins have had an MVP in Giancarlo Stanton, but never in the franchise’s three-decade history have they had a Cy Young winner. Alcantara threw a complete game in a victory over St. Louis on Wednesday night. He’s 8-3 with a 1.95 ERA.
Kevin Brown of the Marlins was second to John Smoltz in the 1996 Cy Young race, and Dontrelle Willis was edged by Chris Carpenter in 2005. Almost every franchise in the major leagues right now has had at least one Cy Young winner and at least one MVP, but a few are still missing one of those two awards:
Diamondbacks (MVP): Arizona has won a World Series and once had five Cy Young Awards in an eight-year stretch thanks to Randy Johnson and Brandon Webb. The Diamondbacks have never had an MVP, however.
Mets (MVP): The Mets have had seven Cy Young winners but no MVPs. They’ve certainly come close to ending that drought. Tom Seaver was narrowly beaten out by Willie McCovey in the Mets’ championship season of 1969, Keith Hernandez finished second to Ryne Sandberg in 1984, and Darryl Strawberry was second to Kirk Gibson in 1988.
Rangers (Cy Young): Even when Texas won American League pennants in 2010 and 2011, the starting rotation didn’t have anyone really stand out. In terms of Baseball Reference’s wins above replacement stat, the best season by a Rangers pitcher was by Mike Minor in 2019, when he finished eighth in the Cy Young vote.
Rays (MVP): David Price and Blake Snell have won Cy Young Awards for Tampa Bay, but fittingly for a team that has a reputation for doing more with less, the Rays haven’t had an MVP.
Rockies (Cy Young): The least surprising entry on this list. Coors Field isn’t conducive to great pitching seasons. Ubaldo Jimenez did finish third in the Cy Young vote in 2010.
HOUSTON vs. NEW YORK
The Astros made quite a statement during a stretch of nine consecutive games against the Yankees and Mets, going 7-2. Houston won two in a row at home over the Mets, then split four games on the road against the Yankees. The Astros swept another two-game series against the Mets on the road, then returned home and beat the Yankees on Thursday night.
That last single game was to make up part of a series that was put off because of the lockout.
TRIVIA TIME
Of the teams that have had at least one Cy Young winner, which has currently gone the longest without one?
LINE OF THE WEEK
Michael Perez homered three times for Pittsburgh in an 8-7 victory over Milwaukee on Thursday night. That came a day after Bryan Reynolds hit three home runs for the Pirates in a win over Washington that ended in the same 8-7 score.
Perez had four hits in his big game Thursday.
COMEBACK OF THE WEEK
The Cleveland Guardians went 5-3 against Minnesota last month, and they trailed in the eighth inning or later in all five of the victories. On Wednesday night, Cleveland scored four runs in the bottom of the 10th to beat the Twins 7-6. Josh Naylor hit a two-run homer with two outs to give the Guardians the victory.
TRIVIA ANSWER
The Baltimore Orioles have not had a Cy Young winner since 1980, when Steve Stone won. That capped a stretch in which the Orioles won six Cy Youngs in 12 years. Mike Cuellar (1969), Jim Palmer (1973, 1975 and 1976) and Mike Flanagan (1979) won in addition to Stone.

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Nick Kyrgios stepped into a nearly full Centre Court to polite applause at precisely 1:30 p.m. on Monday, exited about 3 1/2 hours later to a louder ovation and, somehow, the 100-year-old stadium survived the experience.
In the warmup period, Kyrgios flicked a ball between his legs and closed with an underarm serve, hardly standard procedure. During the 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (2), 3-6, 6-2 victory at Wimbledon over unseeded American Brandon Nakashima that followed, putting Kyrgios in a Grand Slam quarterfinal for the first time in 7 1/2 years, he tried those sorts of trick shots a few times. Afterward, he ditched his rule-conforming but backward, brim-bent white cap and white shoes in favor of red versions.
“Because,” he explained when pressed about the sartorial choices, “I do what I want.”
Yet, somehow, those seated in the Royal Box never turned their backs in protest. And, somehow, the grass-court tournament that dates to the 1880s did not grind to a halt.
Maybe that’s simply because, in addition to smacking 35 aces and “ripping the ball from the baseline” — to use Nakashima’s words — despite a shoulder that hurt so much he took painkilling pills and received repeated treatment from a trainer, Kyrgios displayed a much quieter, much calmer demeanor than the guy who earned fines of $10,000 for spitting in the direction of a heckling spectator at the end of his first-round match and $4,000 for an audible obscenity during his tempestuous win against No. 4 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in the third round.
“I was able to just say, ‘Wow, look how far I’ve come,’ to myself. I was bouncing the ball before I served; I really just smiled to myself,” said Kyrgios, owner of a tour-high 11 victories on grass this season. “I was like, ‘We’re here, we’re competing at Wimbledon, putting in a good performance mentally. It was rewarding.”
The unseeded Kyrgios, now 6-0 in five-setters at the All England Club, next faces unseeded Cristian Garin, a 26-year-old from Chile who saved a pair of match points and authored the fortnight’s first comeback from two sets down to defeat No. 19 seed Alex de Minaur 2-6, 5-7, 7-6 (3), 6-4, 7-6 (10-6) after more than 4 1/2 hours.
The other quarterfinal on their half of the draw will be 22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal against No. 11 Taylor Fritz. Nadal got past No. 21 seed Botic van de Zandschulp 6-4, 6-2, 7-6 (6), while Fritz, a 24-year-old American, earned his major quarterfinal debut with a 6-3, 6-1, 6-4 victory over qualifier Jason Kubler.
“Doesn’t even seem real,” said Fritz, who hasn’t dropped a set in the tournament.
Kubler, who also is Australian, offered his take on Kyrgios.
“Every time I see him, he’s smiling. Every time I’m around him, it seems like I’m laughing,” Kubler said. “So it’s kind of weird when I read or see the comments about him, knowing him the way I do. He’s just one of those people if you were to hang around him or spend any sort of quality time with him, you’d fall in love with him.”
The women’s quarterfinals established Monday are 2019 champion Simona Halep vs. No. 20 Amanda Anisimova, and No. 17 Elena Rybakina vs. unseeded Ajla Tomljanovic.
The combined nine seeds who will participate in the women’s or men’s quarterfinals is the lowest total at Wimbledon since 2000.
“I didn’t really think I could do it,” said Tomljanovic, who lost to eventual champion Ash Barty in last year’s quarterfinals. “After some tough moments this year, I thought: Am I ever going to get a chance again? I can’t believe a year later, I’m in the same position.”
For Kyrgios, never one to follow a conventional path, it’s been a much longer road.
His two previous Slam quarterfinals came at age 19 — at Wimbledon in 2014 and the Australian Open in 2015.
The Aussie spoke about feeling like a veteran at 27, and his self-description Monday included “composed” and “mature.”
Not terms generally associated with Kyrgios, but then again, as he told reporters at his news conference: “None of you really know me at all. Like, you don’t hang out with me at all. You only kind of see what you see on the court. It’s always been a bit of a roller coaster. So I understand how it’s mixed reviews. … People just love to just have an opinion.”
Making the case that he’s a changed man, Kyrgios thought back to a second-round loss to Nadal at Centre Court in 2019 and recalled: “My agent had to come get me out of a pub at 4 a.m. … I’ve come a long way, that’s for sure.”
Certainly since Saturday, at least, when he repeatedly argued with the chair umpire and a Grand Slam supervisor, and eliciting accusations from Tsitsipas of being a “bully” and having “a very evil side.” It’s the sort of ruckus Kyrgios has raised before, earning ejections and suspensions, and causing folks to wonder whether his enormous talent would ever carry him to the closing weekend of a major.
“Obviously,” the 20-year-old Nakashima said, “you never really know what’s going to happen with him out there.”
Nakashima evened things by taking the fourth set with a break, then went up 1-0 in the fifth. Kyrgios acknowledged handing over the fourth with an eye to disrupting his foe. Seemed to work: He earned five games in a row, before serving it out and closing this way from love-30: cross-court forehand passing winner; hanging on in an 11-stroke exchange until an admittedly fatigued Nakashima missed a backhand; 134 mph service winner; forehand volley winner.
When it was over, Kyrgios pounded his chest with his fist, shouted with a curse word mixed in and turned to his guest box — which included his girlfriend and his support team, whom he credits with helping him be a better person off the court, but not a full-time coach, because he doesn’t have one.
“I need a glass of wine, for sure, tonight,” Kyrgios told the crowd during his on-court interview. “For sure.”

NEW YORK, July 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - This June, Kinhouse Studio, a Warsaw-based independent production company, held its world premiere of Cosmogonic at the NewImages Festival in Paris, France between June 8th and 12th. The festival showcased Cosmogonic both in-person and online. Cosmogonic is co-produced by Adam Mickiewicz Institute and Aura Films, with support from the Polish Film Institute.
Cosmogonic is a 6DoF, seated/standing 8-minute experience. It is the first VR experience inspired by the famous Polish science-fiction writer, Stanisław Lem — a futurist who is well acquainted with how fictional worlds can often encroach upon reality.
In Cosmogonic, we travel into the memories of the title character, a once-great robot engineer, to visit the planet of Actinuria. Here, the Pallatinids, a society of giant robots, live under the cruel King Archithor. Fearing a conspiracy, he forces the citizens to wear suits of uranium armor, which cause an explosion if too many of them gather. But one of them, a bold, young inventor named Pyron, decides to use science and technology to inspire a revolution. This adaptation of a 1964 novel by Lem speaks perfectly to today's world, where populism and disinformation threaten democracy. It is a testament to the importance of knowledge and community in the universal drive to freedom.
In a statement, director Paweł Szarzyński said:
We were pleased to share this project with the world at the NewImages Festival, showcasing our culture and inspiration based on the works of Polish science-fiction writer, Stanisław Lem. The intersections of technology, history, culture, and science are elements that we hold near and dear to our hearts. We believe that the NewImages Festival was the perfect destination to reveal the world's first VR experience, inspired by Stanisaw Lem.
Cosmogonic was a part of Cannes XR at the Marché du Film at the Festival de Cannes.
Kinhouse Studio is a Warsaw-based independent production company founded by two siblings, producer Marta Szarzyńska and animator/director Paweł Szarzyński. Based on their experiences in the commercial and arthouse industries, both Marta and Paweł believe that power lies in collaboration. Kinhouse is committed to creating distinctive work and building connections across cultures. Most recently, the studio has produced the feature film SONGS ABOUT LOVE (2021) and the animated VR experience COSMOGONIC (2022).

RIO VISTA, Calif. (BCN) — Authorities are still searching for three adults who went missing after attempting to save a child in the water near Three Mile Slough Bridge in Rio Vista on Sunday.
California State Parks was notified of a possible triple fatal drowning at approximately 1:25 p.m. at the Brannan Island State Recreation Area, a spokesperson for the agency said. It appears that a child was in distress and five people went to attempt to rescue the juvenile.
The child was recovered safely, but three adults who went in to try and save the juvenile have since been unaccounted for, authorities said.
“Five bystanders entered the water to attempt a rescue, none wearing personal floatation devices,” said the California State Parks spokesperson. “Only two of the bystander rescuers returned to shore with the juvenile, who did not require medical aid.”
State Parks has been working with the U.S. Coast Guard and the Sacramento and Solano County Sheriff’s departments on the recovery efforts, the Cal Parks spokesperson said. The Coast Guard said that searches were carried out overnight and on Monday.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Carnival rides make it clear when it’s time to get off; everything slows to a halt. This ride you’re on now doesn’t have such obvious signals, so you’ll need to pay careful attention and feel the optimum exit.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll be tempted to put your agenda aside to advance another person’s goals. Though it’s different from your original plan, there’s an opportunity here to build goodwill that will snowball. You’ll never regret being generous.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You’ve been considering a lifestyle change for the sake of improving your energy level. With the right plan, the change you’re thinking about will do precisely what you want it to and introduce you to bright minds, too.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): You’ll venture out solo, but you won’t be alone. For starters, your group isn’t strictly physical. You will feel the presence of the minds that went before you and the ideas you’re building on. Also, you can’t help but attract allies.
People are also reading…
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You see what’s interesting and unique about people and, as a result, your interactions with them tend to make them feel special. It’s not something you’re trying to do; it just happens, to the benefit of all.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Familial relationships are both complicated and simple. Family ties knot up, twist back, weave in and out. Who can tell where the thread goes? But the simple part is that it connects you and will continue to do so.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You’ve a highly developed sense of responsibility. Your care, service and protection will extend in all directions today. The way you interact with others will align with your view of them. You give respect and will be met in kind.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Working things out with a partner who’s at odds with you can actually be quite creative, causing you to come up with better ideas than you would without the clash. Tonight, real life will be more fascinating than media.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Can you even remember the last time you had a stretch of hours to do anything you wanted with? Unfortunately, this luxury won’t be handed to you, but once you learn to carve it out yourself, you can repeat more often.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The concern you have for someone’s well-being is evidence of their importance in your life. Resources will soon open for this person and put both of your minds at ease. You’re happy when they’re happy.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You do the work and collect a good star. While the ego rush of a prize provides a momentary boost, the thing that will sustain your efforts over time is genuine fascination with mastering the job.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are disciplined in many regards and will leap to a new level of effectiveness as you take yourself through the steps of an organized process. A mentor will lead the way, but only if you request it.

MONTERREY, Mexico — Alex Morgan scored two first-half goals and the U.S. women’s national team defeated Haiti 3-0 on Monday in the opening match of the CONCACAF W Championship.
The tournament determines the region’s four direct berths in the 2023 Women’s World Cup, co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand.
Midge Purce also scored for the United States, which has won the past two World Cups.
Morgan, a Cal alum, opened scoring for the U.S. in the 16th minute with a heel flick off a pass from Mallory Pugh that got past Haiti goalkeeper Lara Larco.
Morgan’s second goal came on a header in the 23rd minute, her 117th international goal in 193 appearances, which ranks fifth all-time among Americans.
Haiti was awarded a penalty in the 42nd but Roselord Borgella’s attempt hit the post and caromed away.
The U.S. appeared to score on an own goal in the 78th, but Megan Rapinoe was ruled offside. Purce scored her fourth international goal in the 84th.
U.S. coach Vlatko Andonovski praised Morgan and said he was pleased with the result, although there are things on which to work before the Americans face Jamaica on Thursday.
What: 2023 Women's World Cup qualifying tournament
Where: Monterrey, Mexico
Monday's scores
U.S. 3, Haiti 0
Jamaica at Mexico, late
U.S. schedule
All games will stream on Paramount+
Thursday: vs. Jamaica, 4 p.m.
Monday: at Mexico, 7 p.m.
“On the other side, we gave up a lot of opportunities, gave up a penalty kick. That’s something we’re going to have to do better and tie up a few things for the next game,” Andonovski said.
Eight teams are split into two groups for the W Championship. The top two finishers in each group earn World Cup berths. The third-place finishers in each group advance to a 10-team intercontinental playoff.
The winner of the W Championship also earns a spot in the 2024 Olympics.
Haiti has not qualified for a World Cup or an Olympics. In addition to the United States and Haiti, the group has Jamaica and Mexico.
Canada, Costa Rica, Panama and Trinidad & Tobago are in the other group. | https://www.sfchronicle.com/sports/article/Alex-Morgan-scores-2-goals-as-U-S-women-blank-17284195.php | 2022-07-05T04:58:17Z | https://www.sfchronicle.com/sports/article/Alex-Morgan-scores-2-goals-as-U-S-women-blank-17284195.php | true |

Rockies (Cy Young): The least surprising entry on this list. Coors Field isn’t conducive to great pitching seasons. Ubaldo Jimenez did finish third in the Cy Young vote in 2010.
HOUSTON vs. NEW YORK
The Astros made quite a statement during a stretch of nine consecutive games against the Yankees and Mets, going 7-2. Houston won two in a row at home over the Mets, then split four games on the road against the Yankees. The Astros swept another two-game series against the Mets on the road, then returned home and beat the Yankees on Thursday night.
That last single game was to make up part of a series that was put off because of the lockout.
TRIVIA TIME
Of the teams that have had at least one Cy Young winner, which has currently gone the longest without one?
LINE OF THE WEEK
Michael Perez homered three times for Pittsburgh in an 8-7 victory over Milwaukee on Thursday night. That came a day after Bryan Reynolds hit three home runs for the Pirates in a win over Washington that ended in the same 8-7 score.
Perez had four hits in his big game Thursday.
COMEBACK OF THE WEEK
The Cleveland Guardians went 5-3 against Minnesota last month, and they trailed in the eighth inning or later in all five of the victories. On Wednesday night, Cleveland scored four runs in the bottom of the 10th to beat the Twins 7-6. Josh Naylor hit a two-run homer with two outs to give the Guardians the victory.
TRIVIA ANSWER
The Baltimore Orioles have not had a Cy Young winner since 1980, when Steve Stone won. That capped a stretch in which the Orioles won six Cy Youngs in 12 years. Mike Cuellar (1969), Jim Palmer (1973, 1975 and 1976) and Mike Flanagan (1979) won in addition to Stone.

Putin’s War Throws Crucial EU Vote on ‘Green’ Gas Into Doubt
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Vladimir PutinPresident of Russia
(Bloomberg) -- European lawmakers are under pressure from Ukraine to block plans to treat gas as a green asset, plunging into serious doubt an EU Parliament vote that not long ago seemed set to endorse the proposal.

The vote is set to take place on Wednesday, and was supposed to mark the easy passage of a New Year’s proposal by the European Commission to include gas and nuclear energy in the EU’s so-called green taxonomy. But Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine -- and the energy crisis it fanned -- has upended that process.
Just last week, Ukraine’s ambassador to Germany called on European lawmakers to reject the Commission’s proposal, warning that it would benefit Russia and perpetuate European reliance on its gas supplies.
“Including gas only serves to cement Putin’s grip on power and his reign of terror over Europe,” said Svitlana Romanko, a Ukrainian environmental lawyer and founder of campaign group Razom We Stand. “It’s the best gift for Putin.”
It’s an 11th-hour challenge to a plan that has angered climate activists from the get-go. Until recently, the addition of gas and nuclear power to the EU’s green taxonomy seemed an inevitability, with the Commission arguing it would help coal-reliant nations transition toward greener energy at a more affordable cost. But Putin’s war in Ukraine has thrown the role of gas as a transition fuel into question amid soaring prices and the possibility of a cut-off of supplies.
There are already signs that support for the revised taxonomy is waning. An EU Committee vote last month defied predictions, hinting at what may become an embarrassing defeat for the Commission.
“It’s about what is the guide for the future, what is sustainable,” said Paul Tang, an EU lawmaker. Putting gas in the taxonomy “only increases the dependency on Russia.”
If lawmakers vote against including gas and nuclear power in the green taxonomy, the Commission will have to go back to the drawing board. Alternatives include potentially creating a separate amber rulebook for transition activities, in a process that could take months.
For the Commission’s plan to falter on Wednesday, at least 353 of the EU Parliament’s 705 lawmakers will have to vote against it. What’s more, some key lawmakers have been forced to stay away from the vote after testing positive for Covid, adding a further layer of suspense to the process. If the threshold isn’t met, gas and nuclear power will be included in the green taxonomy from the start of next year.

It would still be possible for EU member states to reject the delegated act, but the bar there is very high, requiring some 20 of the EU’s 27 members to oppose it. That said, individual countries like Austria and Luxembourg have said they would explore a legal challenge.
