VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — A gunman who roamed for hours through a sleeping Vancouver suburb shot four people early Monday, two of them fatally, as he opened fire at a casino, a center for the homeless and other locations before being killed by police, authorities said.
The attacks began in the wee hours in the bedroom community of Langley and continued until dawn, according to authorities, who initially suggested that the shootings had targeted homeless people.
The first shooting occurred at midnight at the casino, with more shootings at 3 a.m., 5 a.m. and 5:45 a.m. — including at a residential complex that provides support for people who are transitioning out of homelessness. The other shooting scenes were a bus stop and a highway, police said.
Evidence of the all-night rampage was scattered around Langley, including an overturned bicycle spilling personal possessions onto a street and a shopping cart with someone’s belongings.
Police sent a cellphone alert to residents at 6:20 a.m., saying they were at the scene of several shootings “involving transient victims.”
Sgt. David Lee, a spokesman for homicide investigators, later told reporters that it was not yet clear if the victims were homeless.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said an emergency response team confronted the suspect not far from a highway bypass where a man was found with a gunshot to his leg.
That’s when officers fatally shot the gunman, said Ghalib Bhayani, superintendent of the mounted police.
Authorities did not know the motive behind the shootings or if the shooter and his victims were acquainted, Bhayani said.
He told reporters that the suspect’s death is subject to an investigation by the Independent Investigations Office of British Columbia, a civilian-led police oversight agency.
Besides the man with the leg wound, a woman was also wounded and was hospitalized in critical condition, police said.
The shootings roiled Langley, a town of 29,000 about 30 miles (48 kilometers) southeast of Vancouver. The town features a variety of shops and restaurants and boasts almost 350 acres (142 hectares) of parks. Many residents moved to Langley for its less expensive housing and commute to Vancouver, the largest city in the province of British Columbia.
Most of the shootings were in downtown Langley. One reported shooting was in neighboring Langley Township.
After the shooting began, ambulances and police vehicles converged at a mall. The area was cordoned off with yellow police tape and a major intersection was closed. A black tent was set up over one of the crime scenes. A homicide team confirmed on social media that its investigators deployed to Langley to help.
An unmarked police SUV at one of the shooting scenes, near a bus depot, had at least seven bullet holes in the windshield and one through the driver’s window.
Mass shootings are less common in Canada than in the United States. The deadliest gun rampage in Canadian history happened in 2020 when a man disguised as a police officer shot people in their homes and set fires across the province of Nova Scotia, killing 22 people.
The country overhauled its gun-control laws after an attacker killed 14 women and himself in 1989 at Montreal’s Ecole Polytechnique college.
It is now illegal to possess an unregistered handgun or any kind of rapid-fire weapon in Canada. To purchase a weapon, the country also requires training, a personal risk assessment, two references, spousal notification and criminal record checks. | https://www.kxnet.com/news/international/ap-international/canada-police-report-multiple-shootings-in-british-columbia/ | 2022-07-25T22:11:31Z | https://www.kxnet.com/news/international/ap-international/canada-police-report-multiple-shootings-in-british-columbia/ | true |

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A former federal prosecutor investigating millions in misspent welfare dollars in Mississippi has been dropped from the case by the state agency that hired him.
The state Department of Human Resources will find a new lawyer to replace Brad Pigott, a former U.S. attorney recruited roughly a year ago to help recoup $77 million in welfare funds identified by the state auditor.
The decision to remove Pigott as lead attorney in the civil case was first reported by Mississippi Today, a nonprofit digital news operation that has reported extensively on the welfare scandal. Pigott said he was fired about a week after he filed a subpoena for records from the University of Southern Mississippi Athletic Foundation.
Pigott was seeking records related to $5 million in welfare money the university foundation received to build a volleyball stadium, and included communications between the foundation and former Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant.
“All I did, and I believe all that caused me to be terminated from representing the department or having anything to do with the litigation, was to try to get the truth about all of that,” Pigott told Mississippi Today.
Shad White, Mississippi's state auditor, has said the welfare fraud his office uncovered amounts to the state's largest public corruption case in two decades. He criticized the decision to drop Pigott.
“Firing Pigott is a mistake,” White posted Saturday on Twitter. He added: “Pigott worked well with my office, communicating regularly with us about the status of the case and how we could share information.”
Robert Anderson, executive director of the Department of Human Services, said in a statement that Pigott's contract expires at the end of July and won't be renewed, news outlets reported.
In a statement, Anderson said Pigott had filed “an extensive subpoena” seeking records from the athletic foundation “without any prior discussion” with Human Services officials.
“Attorneys represent clients, and MDHS is the client in this case," Anderson said. "I hope I don’t need to explain that an attorney needs to remain in close communication with his client at all times.”
Earlier this month, U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, asked the Justice Department to investigate Bryant in connection with the welfare fraud case.
The congressman's request came after a defendant in the case said in a court document that she steered $1.1 million in welfare money to former NFL star Brett Favre at the direction of Bryant. The former governor, a Republican, has denied the accusations.
The allegation was made by Nancy New, who pleaded guilty in April along with her son, Zachary New, to charges of misusing public money. The mother and son, who ran a nonprofit group and an education company in Mississippi, have agreed to testify against others.
Favre has not been charged with any criminal wrongdoing and has repaid the money. He has said that he didn’t know the money he received came from welfare funds, and has denied the auditor’s allegations that he was paid for events he didn’t attend. | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Mississippi-drops-attorney-investigating-welfare-17328030.php | 2022-07-25T22:16:37Z | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Mississippi-drops-attorney-investigating-welfare-17328030.php | true |

If you want to be able to toast and bake quickly without having to constantly turn on your full-sized oven, consider purchasing a countertop toaster oven. This Panasonic toaster oven from Amazon has thousands of 5-star reviews.
The Panasonic NB-G110P-K FlashXpress Toaster Oven can replace both your toaster and oven and has six preset cooking functions so you can cook, bake, defrost, reheat and toast a variety of foods with one touch. The Panasonic toaster oven works by using two infrared oven heating elements at the front and back and does not require preheating.
The toaster oven’s 9-inch baking rack is connected to the oven door, so it pulls back toward you when you open the door. This means you don’t have to touch the hot rack to get your food. It also includes an auto shut-off feature, which prevents overcooking and burning.
The toaster oven comes in black, silver or white. Both silver and white currently priced at about $150, while the black is around $248 right now. Measuring 13.9 by 10.3 by 7.8 inches, it should fit on most countertops.
With nearly 8,000 reviews, the Panasonic toaster oven has a total rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars. Customers say it is easy to use and clean — one of the best toasters they’ve ever owned and used. Many mention how well it does when reheating pizza.
One customer who gave it a full five stars calls it a “bachelor’s dream” and says they read a lot of reviews before deciding on the Panasonic toaster oven.
“It’s weird being excited about a toaster oven, but this thing is LEGIT. As a bachelor, it’s a pain to fire up the oven every time you want to put down a Hot Pocket. I also didn’t have a toaster, so this solved both problems,” Ross G. wrote. “It does have an interesting design. People will comment on it. I can’t quite tell if it looks futuristic or like a fossil from the early ’70s. But I like it. And it cooks like a champion.”
Another 5-star review says that the toaster is amazing and exceeded expectations.
“I roast my own coffee at home and needed to replace my cheap dying toaster oven. I wanted something that could reach 500 F, thinking I needed that to roast the beans fast enough. Well, my first batch of beans burned within 3 minutes at 500 F! I was stunned at how quickly it was able to dry them out. It heats up extremely fast, and it even cools down quickly when the cycle is over,” Chunky Bacon! wrote. “If you’re looking for a great toaster oven at a decent price, this is the one. I am beyond satisfied. Well done, Panasonic. Bravo!”
If you’re looking for something just a bit different, you’ll find several other toaster ovens on Amazon as well, like this Hamilton Beach 2-in-1 Countertop Oven that is currently on sale for $99.
The Hamilton Beach countertop oven switches from an extra-wide slot toaster to an oven with the slide of a lever. It has a separate toast shade selector, bake and broil functions and a 60-minute timer with auto-shutoff.
With nearly 5,000 5-star reviews, customers say it is easy to use and clean. They also note this is a space saver and doesn’t take up much room on kitchen counters.
For an even lower-priced option, this Black+Decker 4-Slice Convection Oven is on sale for about $44. The Black+Decker convection oven is designed for even toasting of up to four slices of bread at once and fits a 9-inch pizza.
The convection oven has a 30-minute timer and can bake, broil, toast or keep food warm. It also has a removable crumb tray and measures 16.4 by 11.3 by 9.4 inches.

Hill (knee) will likely begin a rehab assignment Wednesday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.
Hill threw a three-inning simulated game Friday and felt good a day after, so he'll likely return to game action with a minor-league affiliate this week. The left-hander has been on the injured list since July 2, and it's possible that he'll be cleared to rejoin the Red Sox after just one or two rehab starts. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/red-soxs-rich-hill-close-to-rehab-assignment/ | 2022-07-25T22:20:39Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/red-soxs-rich-hill-close-to-rehab-assignment/ | true |
(NewsNation) — A new report shows that despite surging rental prices, it’s still more affordable to rent than it is to buy a starter home in most major metropolitan areas.
Last month, in 38 of the 50 largest metros, it was cheaper to pay a landlord than a mortgage for a starter home, according to a recent Realtor.com analysis. That’s a big change from just a few months ago.
The Federal Reserve’s recent interest rate increases have made the monthly cost to buy a first-time home about $416 more per month than it would have been last year.
Some of the cities where renting was more affordable were hot spots including San Francisco, Seattle, New York, Los Angeles and Austin, Texas. That’s despite June rental prices spiking 14.1% over the past year.
The rising cost to find a home or an apartment will eventually start to slow down, experts say, they just can’t pinpoint exactly when.
“We are not as volatile, say, as the stock market. But we do have cycles, and we do follow those cycles,” said Bonnie Heatzig, executive director of luxury sales at Douglas Elliman.
Even apartment complex owners know a rental hike slowdown is overdue.
“I think rentals are a little bit high above what they should be,” said Steve Davis, CEO of Total Wealth Academy. “I’m loving it as an apartment owner. But I do recognize that I’m gonna stop raising rents here in a little while, and just let it sit for a couple of years so I don’t end up with a lot of vacancy.”
But if your goal is to buy a first home, it’s cheaper to do so in cities such as Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Cleveland, Baltimore or Indianapolis, according to the Realtor.com report. For those looking to put down roots somewhere, it might be the better option.
“If you plan on staying in the area where you are and you can afford to buy,” Heatzig said, “I think it’s your best bet if you can find something that you like within your price point.”
There are still bargains to find in some of the bigger metros, but Davis said suburbs offer some of the better prices.
“Outside of the city is the best bang for your buck,” Davis said.
Whether it’s better in the current market to rent or buy all depends on your financial situation and where you want to live, experts said. But if you’re dead set on buying that dream home, it might take some patience.
“It’s quite a few cities where they’ve seen 20% drops in the average sale price. And I think we’ll continue to see that until it corrects to the real number,” Davis said. “But it’s going to take time — I would say two years minimum, and maybe even three.” | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/national-news/renting-is-cheaper-than-buying-a-starter-home-in-most-metros-analysis-finds/ | 2022-07-25T22:22:30Z | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/national-news/renting-is-cheaper-than-buying-a-starter-home-in-most-metros-analysis-finds/ | false |

Man comes face to face with black bear in Florida
Updated: 1:37 PM PDT Jul 25, 2022
A juvenile black bear was spotted in Jupiter, Florida, and a resident who came face to face with it says he was shocked.Doug Covin said Saturday was a normal day. He was spending time in his backyard off of April Lane. He says at around 11:40 a.m., he saw a black bear in a tree just feet away from him. "I heard a small noise. A branch broke," Covin said. "I look up, and there's a 150-pound black bear, maybe 10 feet from me, staring at me."I didn't know what it was at first. I was looking right at him and I was thinking, 'What am I looking at? That's a bear staring right at me!'"Covin was able to capture a photo and some footage of the bear after he called 911.He said the bear was in the tree for about 30 minutes. He said when Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers arrived, the bear ran away. It then went up another tree a block away on Woodside Trail for another hour.FWC officers originally hoped the bear would leave on its own and a trap or tranquilizer would not be necessary. The bear left the tree on Woodside Trail at about 2:30 p.m. and is believed to still be in the area. FWC officers have since set a trap in the area to attempt to relocate the bear."To have it here in Jupiter, it’s still hard to wrap my mind around the fact that — I mean, we see squirrels and an occasional possum or raccoon in the backyard, but it's pretty unbelievable to have one," Covin said.The FWC says bear sightings are rare in this part of South Florida, but do happen from time to time. They’re more active this time of year, and juvenile bears like the one spotted in Jupiter on Saturday tend to wander off into unexpected areas this time of year."Every time I hear a noise, I'm going to be like, 'Is there another bear?' So it will take a little while to get over this one. Not that I was scared of him, but it's definitely a shocker," Covin said.

MASKWACIS, Alberta (AP) — Pope Francis' apology Monday for the Catholic Church’s role in Canada's residential school system and the abuses that took place within it was a full-throated denunciation of a decadeslong policy of forced assimilation that aimed to strip Indigenous children of their culture and traumatized generations.
Speaking at the site of a former residential school south of Edmonton, Alberta, the pontiff said he was “deeply sorry” for actions by many in support of “the colonizing mentality of the powers that oppressed the Indigenous peoples.”
He also expressed sorrow over the schools' systemic marginalization, denigration and suppression of Indigenous people, languages and culture; the “physical, verbal, psychological and spiritual abuse” children suffered after being taken from their homes at a young age; and the “indelibly” altered family relationships that resulted.
“I myself wish to reaffirm this, with shame and unambiguously. I humbly beg forgiveness for the evil committed by so many Christians against the Indigenous peoples,” Francis said.
Here are some reactions to the pope's remarks:
___
“It was an achievement on the part of the Indigenous community to convince Pope Francis to come to a First Nation community and humble himself before survivors in the way he did today. It was special. And I know that it meant a lot to a lot of people. And every time he said the word sorry, people would start applauding,” Phil Fontaine, a residential school abuse survivor and former chief of the Assembly of First Nations, said in an interview with The Associated Press.
___
“We may all need time to fully absorb the gravity of this moment. ... If you want to help us heal, stop telling us to get over it. ... We can’t get over it when intergenerational trauma impacts every youth and every member, every family who had a residential school survivor. Instead of getting over it, I’m asking you to get with it, get with learning about our history, get with learning about our culture, our people, who we are,” Chief Desmond Bull of Louis Bull Tribe said during a news conference.
___
It “was validation that this really happened” for the apology to be heard by non-Indigenous people, Chief Tony Alexis of the Alexis Nakota Sioux Nation said, but the pope needs to follow up with action and “can’t just say sorry and walk away."
___
“I’ve waited 50 years for this apology, and finally today I heard it,” Evelyn Korkmaz, a school survivor, said during a news conference. Unfortunately many family and community members did not live to see it due to suicide or substance-abuse, she said. But “I was hoping to hear some kind of work plan” for ways the church would be turning over documents and taking other concrete steps.
___
“I have a lot of of survivors and thrivers in my community who are happy to hear the pope has come to apologize. Words cannot describe how important today is for the healing journey for a lot of First Nations people,” Chief Vernon Saddleback of Samson Cree Nation said in a news conference. “The pope apologizing today was a day for everyone in the world to sit back and listen.”
___
“It’s something that is needed, not only for people to hear but for the church to be accountable,” said Sandi Harper of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, who attended the papal event in honor of her late mother, a former residential school student. Still, she told AP some Indigenous people are not ready for reconciliation: “We just need to give people the time to heal. It’s going to take a long time."

Not supposed to happen: Metchie battles cancer instead of fighting for NFL spot| Goodbread
This wasn't supposed to happen to John Metchie III.
It wasn't supposed to happen to Eric Berry, either.
Or James Conner.
Or Trent Williams.
Or Shon Coleman.
Of course, the list of prominent football players struck by one form of cancer or another in some of the prime years of their athletic lives is longer. Metchie lengthened it by one on Sunday when the former University of Alabama wide receiver announced he's been diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL). The second-round draft pick of the Houston Texans will likely miss his rookie season this fall while fighting this scourge of a disease.
TIDE VS. SPARTANS:Alabama basketball to play Michigan State in Phil Knight Invitational
SABAN'S 15:Celebrate Nick Saban's 15 epic seasons at Alabama football with our special book!
That these men play football or are athletes of any kind is, of course, immaterial to the gravity of a life-and-death health struggle. Their lives are no more important than anyone else in the same situation. Cancer killed 602,350 Americans in 2020, the nation's second-leading killer that year behind heart disease according to the CDC, and every one of those outcomes is equally cold.
Just ask the survivors.
Still, athletes like Metchie who suddenly find themselves in a cancer battle serve as a stark reminder that cancer can be an indiscriminate threat. It preys where it preys. We wrongly attach an air of physical invincibility to elite athletes that cancer isn't supposed to be able to penetrate. The ACL tear Metchie suffered in the SEC Championship Game last December was viewed at the time as a grave misfortune for both his season and his draft status.
Now, it's an afterthought.
But while cancer can afflict anyone at any time, there's a reason that public reaction to Metchie and other top athletes who've faced his struggle is always one of shock. The average age of a cancer patient is 66. Metchie is too old for pediatric cancer, and too young for a colonoscopy. Studies show that regular exercise, healthy eating and not smoking – three baseline givens for serious athletes – could prevent up to 40% of cancer deaths. Metchie takes care of his body a lot better than you and I.
But there isn't a body anywhere in such good shape that cancer can't find it.
So for Metchie, we're left to try and find blessings hiding in what is objectively terrible news. Here's one: he's likely a lot more financially secure now, having signed a four-year, $8.07 million contract as the NFL draft's No. 44 overall pick, than he'd be had the diagnosis come from his medical exam at the NFL Scouting Combine. Every potential health issue is carefully explored there, and a discovery of leukemia at the combine likely would've hurt his draft status a lot more than his knee injury could've.
Here's another: Alabama coach Nick Saban pointed out the city of Houston's stellar reputation for medical care.
Metchie himself, in making his diagnosis known, noted that he'll be battling the most curable form of leukemia.
No, this wasn't supposed to happen to a vibrant youngster who is athletic enough to compete in professional sports. But now that cancer has beaten the odds against that, Metchie can only grasp whatever positives he can, and beat some odds of his own.

MOSCOW (AP) — The Russian authorities on Monday briefly detained a 72-year-old liberal politician who recently returned to Moscow from abroad, the latest move in a relentless crackdown on dissent amid Moscow’s military action in Ukraine.
Leonid Gozman was detained after the Russian Interior Ministry issued a warrant for his arrest while investigating a criminal case against him.
Gozman has been accused of breaching the law that requires Russian citizens to notify authorities about a foreign citizenship or a residency permit. If found guilty, Gozman could be sentenced to a fine or community work.
Gozman notified the authorities about his Israeli citizenship but they claimed that he failed to do so within required time.
Gozman, a vocal critic of the Kremlin’s campaign in Ukraine, left Russia when it started but returned in June in what he has described as a “moral” choice.
The Russian Justice Ministry has listed him as a “foreign agent,” a description that carries a strong pejorative meaning and implies additional government scrutiny.
Immediately after meeting with investigators Monday, Gozman was detained on the Moscow subway by police who told him he was on the federal arrest warrant. The politician was later released, but the criminal case against him is still pending.
Speaking after being released Monday, Gozman said the authorities issued a warrant for his arrest after he hadn’t responded to summons that have been sent to his old address. He added that he fears being handed a prison term.
“I’m 72. Russian prison is not for my age. I won’t survive it,” he said.
Still, Gozman said he doesn’t want to leave.

Houston-area stabbing injures four family members by suspect out on bond for felony: sheriff
Manuel Alfredo Gutierrez, 25, was out on bond for a previous felony when he stabbed several family members in a Houston-area home over the weekend
Four people were stabbed in a Houseton-area home Sunday night during a family disturbance, including a suspect out on bond for a previous felony, authorities said.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said a man returned to the home intoxicated and got into an argument with his sister. He was armed with a pistol during the dispute, Gonzalez said.
"The male was disarmed of his pistol, while mom & dad intervened attempting to break things up," Gonzalez tweeted. "Things escalated into a physical altercation with everyone obtaining knives."
The suspect, 25-year-old Manuel Alfredo Gutierrez, was arrested and charged with three counts of aggravated assault.

New York is awarding nearly $70 million in grant funding to address “child care deserts” across the state by increasing the number of care providers.
The Mohawk Valley is receiving more than $3.2 million to establish 21 new providers in underserved areas. The funding will help cover start-up costs and support staff recruitment and training.
"Insufficient child care resources have a tremendous effect on our economy, keeping parents from returning to work," said Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado. "It is critical for us to improve care, especially in underserved areas where parents have to struggle with the painful and unacceptable choices of whether to keep their jobs and leave their young children home alone with no care at all or quit their jobs and not be able to feed their children and keep a roof over their heads."
The state defines a child care desert as a census tract where there are three or more children younger than 5 in need but only one available child care slot, or there are no available child care slots at all in the tract. By this criteria, more than 60% of the state is considered a child care desert.
Under new legislation, New York will also help families in need by removing sales and use taxes from both children’s and adult diapers. | https://www.wktv.com/news/state/new-york-awarding-70-million-in-grants-to-address-child-care-deserts-statewide/article_3d69f6da-0c5f-11ed-8826-07e17c977d36.html | 2022-07-25T22:30:49Z | https://www.wktv.com/news/state/new-york-awarding-70-million-in-grants-to-address-child-care-deserts-statewide/article_3d69f6da-0c5f-11ed-8826-07e17c977d36.html | true |
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — The Biden administration on Monday announced plans to replant trees on millions of acres of burned and dead woodlands as officials struggle to counter the increasing toll on the nation’s forests from wildfires, insects and other manifestations of climate change.
Destructive fires in recent years that burned too hot for forests to quickly regrow have far outpaced the government’s capacity to replant trees. That’s created a backlog of 4.1 million acres (1.7 million hectares) in need of replanting, officials said.
The U.S. Agriculture Department said it will have to quadruple the number of tree seedlings produced by nurseries to get through the backlog and meet future needs. That comes after Congress last year passed bipartisan legislation directing the Forest Service to plant 1.2 billion trees over the next decade and after President Joe Biden in April ordered the agency to make the nation’s forests more resilient as the globe gets hotter.
Much of the administration’s broader agenda to tackle climate change remains stalled amid disagreement in Congress, where Democrats hold a razor-thin majority. That’s left officials to pursue a more piecemeal approach with incremental measures such as Monday’s announcement, while the administration considers whether to declare a climate emergency that could open the door to more aggressive executive branch actions.
“Our forests, rural communities, agriculture and economy are connected across a shared landscape and their existence is at stake,” Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in a statement announcing the reforestation plan. “Only through bold, climate-smart actions … can we ensure their future.”
Almost 5.6 million acres have burned so far in the U.S. this year, putting 2022 on pace to match or exceed the record-setting 2015 fire season, when 10.1 million acres (4.1 million hectares) burned. Many forests regenerate naturally after fires, but if the blazes get too intense they can leave behind barren landscapes that linger for decades before the trees come back.
The Forest Service this year is spending more than $100 million on reforestation work. Spending is expected to further increase in coming years, to as much as $260 million annually, under the sweeping federal infrastructure bill approved last year, agency officials said.
Some timber industry supporters were critical of last year’s reforesting legislation as insufficient to turn the tide on the scale of the wildfire problem. They want more aggressive logging to thin stands that have become overgrown from years of suppressing fires.
To prevent replanted areas from becoming similarly overgrown, practices are changing so reforested stands are less dense with trees and therefore less fire prone, said Joe Fargione, science director for North America at the Nature Conservancy.
But challenges to the Forest Service’s goal remain, from finding enough seeds to hiring enough workers to plant them, Fargione said.
Many seedlings will die before reaching maturity due to drought and insects, both of which can be exacerbated by climate change.
“You’ve got to be smart about where you plant,” Fargione said. “There are some places that the climate has already changed enough that it makes the probability of successfully reestablishing trees pretty low.”
Living trees are a major “sink” for carbon dioxide that’s driving climate change when it enters the atmosphere, Fargione said. That means replacing those that die is important to keep climate change from getting even worse.
Congress in 1980 created a reforestation trust that had previously capped funding — which came from tariffs on timber products — at $30 million annually. That’s proven far too little as high intensity fires increase.
Insects, disease and timber harvests also contribute to the amount of land that needs reforestation work, but the vast majority comes from fires. In the past five years alone more than 5 million acres were severely burned.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hagens Berman urges Block, Inc. (NYSE: SQ) investors who suffered significant losses to submit your losses now. The firm is investigating possible securities law violations.
Visit: www.hbsslaw.com/investor-fraud/SQ
Block, Inc. (NYSE: SQ) Investigation:
The investigation focuses on Block's statements about its subsidiary's (Cash App Investing) customer privacy policies and controls.
More specifically, Block has in the past assured Cash App Investing customers that "[t]o protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law," "[t]hese measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings," and "[t]he Company takes the security of information belonging to its customers very seriously."
The accuracy of these statements came into question on Apr. 4, 2022, when Block announced that a former employee, after termination, improperly downloaded certain reports of Cash App Investing on Dec. 10, 2021. The information in the reports included full customer names and brokerage account numbers. For some customers, the stolen reports also included brokerage portfolio value, brokerage portfolio holdings and/or stock trading activity for one trading day. As many as 8.2 million current and former Cash App Investing customers may have been affected by the privacy breach.
This news sent the price of Block shares sharply lower on Apr. 5, 2022.
The New York Times later reported on the incident, quoting a security expert at KnowBe4, a cybersecurity training company: "Taking customers' data and security seriously would require securing external access to employees' accounts and disabling that access upon termination, preferably before the employee leaves."
"We're focused on investors' losses and whether Block misled investors about its operational risks," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding Block should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.

Chiefs report to camp without longtime club cornerstones
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) - Two cornerstones of the Chiefs' four straight AFC title game appearances walked into training camp elsewhere this week, and Kansas City coach Andy Reid will be spending much of the next month figuring out how to replace them.
That task alone could determine whether a fifth consecutive championship game appearance awaits in January.
The biggest departure came when the Chiefs traded Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins for a package of draft picks in January, a move made with an eye both on long-term success and the bottom line but with the immediate effect of depriving Patrick Mahomes of his favorite downfield playmaker since the moment their QB stepped foot in the league.
The other big hole opened up on defense, where Tyrann Mathieu was allowed to leave in free agency, taking not only one of their biggest playmakers on that side of the ball out of the equation but also removing one of the locker room leaders.
"I look at it more of everybody getting on the same page," Reid said, "and it´s an urgency to that because we know the level that we are capable of performing at. Rather it is coaches and/or players, the ones that have been here or the new ones, I think there is a sense of urgency that makes it the exciting part. Let´s see what we can do."
The Chiefs and aggressive general manager Brett Veach took a remarkably similar approach to filling the openings at wide receiver and safety, spending lavishly in free agency and the draft earlier in the offseason.

To replace Hill, the Chiefs signed JuJu Smith-Schuster and are hoping for a bounce-back season following some health issues in Pittsburgh; they signed Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who must be doing something right to go from catching passes from Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay to Mahomes in Kansas City; and they spent a second-round draft pick on Skyy Moore, who has many of the same characteristics as Hill but has a steep learning curve coming from Western Michigan.
Then there's Mecole Hardman, the lone significant holdover in the wide receiver group, who is heading into a contract year and is bubbling with confidence despite having shown little ability to be a No. 1 player at his position.
"I ain't trying to prove nothing to nobody," Hardman said Monday, when veterans joined the rookies and quarterbacks in camp. "I know what I'm capable of doing. I'm just going to do that and let the work show for itself."
The first opportunity to do that comes Wednesday, when the full squad works out for the first time at Missouri Western.
That will also be the first chance for safety Justin Reid, signed from the Texans in free agency, and the rest of the rebuilt Kansas City secondary to get on the field in camp. Reid will be joined by two more draft picks, second-rounder Bryan Cook and seventh-rounder Nazeeh Johnson, as the Chiefs move on from Mathieu's tutelage the past three seasons.
"It´s a lot of pressure I put on myself just to learn everything around me," Cook admitted. "As far as leadership, it´s kind of just something that - not that I fell into, but I love helping other guys around me. That´s where it kind of comes from."
The Chiefs will take leadership wherever they can get it in the defensive backfield.
The 25-year-old Reid, who is entering his fifth season, is a veteran compared to most of the guys back there. The 22-year-old Cook and 24-year-old Johnson will battle 26-year-old Juan Thornhill for the other safety job, while the top cornerbacks are Rashad Fenton (25), L'Jarius Sneed (25) and rookies Trent McDuffie (21) and Josh Williams (22).
It might take all of them to help fill Mathieu's void on that side of the ball.
"A big thing obviously is just learning the plays, making sure I have everything down," McDuffie said, "and I think a big thing for me is bonding with the DBs, bonding with the whole defense, so we can all come together. I mean, there are a lot of new moving parts, so we kind of get to establish a new identity, which is going to be a lot of fun these next few weeks."

BALCH SPRINGS, Texas (AP) — A grass fire apparently sparked on the shoulder of a freeway swept about 300 yards across tinder-dry open field to a suburban Dallas subdivision Monday, burning through wooden fences and torching a row of at least eight homes on the subdivision’s edge.
The blaze was the latest in drought-stricken North Texas, which has been vulnerable to explosive wildfires for at least two weeks .
It was initially unclear what sparked the fire just off Interstate 20 in Balch Springs about 4 p.m. Monday. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
Aerial video showed the fire spread up and down the street as firefighters and homeowners working in 103-degree heat tried to prevent the fire from spreading to more of the bricked frame homes. One end of the fire spread to a home where a panicked dog ran back and forth before running through a pet door at a neighboring home. The dog's fate was not immediately known.
Fire crews from Dallas and other nearby suburbs have gone to the scene to assist Balch Springs crews.
Firefighting teams have thrown dozens of extra crew members into the fight over the weekend against a North Texas wildfire that has destroyed 16 homes and damaged five others, officials said Monday.
The crews have held the Chalk Mountain Fire effects in check at 10 1/2 square miles (27 1/4 square kilometers) since last week, according to the Southern Area Blue, Type-I Incident Management Team.
Team leaders say they have added 126 firefighters and extra fire engines and bulldozers to the 190 already clearing fire lines over the weekend 50 miles (80 kilometers) southwest of Fort Worth, expanding the containment from 10% to 20%.
Meantime, firefighters are mopping up the Possum Kingdom Lake fire that destroyed five homes 70 miles (112 kilometers) west of Fort Worth. That fire is now 95% contained, team leaders said Monday. | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Expanded-crews-reinforce-fight-against-North-17328149.php | 2022-07-25T22:37:50Z | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Expanded-crews-reinforce-fight-against-North-17328149.php | false |
(NewsNation) — A new report shows that despite surging rental prices, it’s still more affordable to rent than it is to buy a starter home in most major metropolitan areas.
Last month, in 38 of the 50 largest metros, it was cheaper to pay a landlord than a mortgage for a starter home, according to a recent Realtor.com analysis. That’s a big change from just a few months ago.
The Federal Reserve’s recent interest rate increases have made the monthly cost to buy a first-time home about $416 more per month than it would have been last year.
Some of the cities where renting was more affordable were hot spots including San Francisco, Seattle, New York, Los Angeles and Austin, Texas. That’s despite June rental prices spiking 14.1% over the past year.
The rising cost to find a home or an apartment will eventually start to slow down, experts say, they just can’t pinpoint exactly when.
“We are not as volatile, say, as the stock market. But we do have cycles, and we do follow those cycles,” said Bonnie Heatzig, executive director of luxury sales at Douglas Elliman.
Even apartment complex owners know a rental hike slowdown is overdue.
“I think rentals are a little bit high above what they should be,” said Steve Davis, CEO of Total Wealth Academy. “I’m loving it as an apartment owner. But I do recognize that I’m gonna stop raising rents here in a little while, and just let it sit for a couple of years so I don’t end up with a lot of vacancy.”
But if your goal is to buy a first home, it’s cheaper to do so in cities such as Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Cleveland, Baltimore or Indianapolis, according to the Realtor.com report. For those looking to put down roots somewhere, it might be the better option.
“If you plan on staying in the area where you are and you can afford to buy,” Heatzig said, “I think it’s your best bet if you can find something that you like within your price point.”
There are still bargains to find in some of the bigger metros, but Davis said suburbs offer some of the better prices.
“Outside of the city is the best bang for your buck,” Davis said.
Whether it’s better in the current market to rent or buy all depends on your financial situation and where you want to live, experts said. But if you’re dead set on buying that dream home, it might take some patience.
“It’s quite a few cities where they’ve seen 20% drops in the average sale price. And I think we’ll continue to see that until it corrects to the real number,” Davis said. “But it’s going to take time — I would say two years minimum, and maybe even three.” | https://www.fox16.com/news/national-news/renting-is-cheaper-than-buying-a-starter-home-in-most-metros-analysis-finds/ | 2022-07-25T22:38:36Z | https://www.fox16.com/news/national-news/renting-is-cheaper-than-buying-a-starter-home-in-most-metros-analysis-finds/ | true |
Moore: Here's what we missed in discussing the Mercury's big win over the Storm
Phoenix has a chance to complete a massive turnaround that few could have credibly predicted.
Would you believe there was a subplot that we didn’t uncover in the Phoenix Mercury’s big win weathering the Storm?
It was key to keeping the season alive, and it wasn’t that Phoenix won the game, but how that should stress teams around the league going into the final stretch of the season.
Phoenix counterpunched with offensive and defensive strategies that opponents haven’t had chances to scout. A Seattle squad with an all-time great “coach on the floor” in Sue Bird, prime stars like Jewell Loyd and Breanna Stewart, plus a former MVP who left the club only weeks ago in Tina Charles should have been able to lower the Mercury.
Bird is known for her preparation. All-Star talent speaks for itself. Charles knew the system. But Phoenix had used its practice time to install twists and pivots that Seattle wasn’t ready for.
It was a smart game plan from a rookie coach coupled with great execution from veteran players.
If Mercury coach Vanessa Nygaard is able to keep opponents off-balance by switching things up and varying her pace and style for the rest of the season, she’s got a chance to turn in one of the best rookie coaching jobs in franchise history memory.
Sandy Brondello winning a title in her first year sets a high bar, but she didn’t deal with a lot of the problems Nygaard is facing, like losing two All-Star centers in the same year.
More from Moore: Taurasi, Bird sat next to each other after the game
Are they elite for eight?
There are eight games left in the Mercury season. The top eight teams in the league make the playoffs. And Phoenix is in ninth with a chance to move up.
The Sparks, Wings and Dream are clumped together within a game of one another in the standings. The Liberty are Lynx are looming.
Phoenix has five games against these opponents, four of which are at home, where the Mercury are 8-5, compared to just 4-11 on the road.
Plus, the teams Mercury are in a close fight with aren’t playing their best basketball.
The Sparks will hit Phoenix on Thursday on a 2-4 skid over their last six games.
Likewise, the Wings are slumping, 3-6 over their last nine. It’s conceivable that Dallas will come to town on Aug. 12 (the penultimate regular season game) with a playoff spot on the line.
The Mercury won’t get another chance to put the Dream to sleep this year; but Atlanta is 2-5 over its last seven, giving Phoenix a chance to catch up.
The Liberty are 2-7 over the last nine. Phoenix plays New York twice more.
Minnesota is 1-4 over its last five.
The final game of Phoenix’s season, against Chicago, could be meaningless for last season’s champs. They’re comfortably atop the Eastern Conference. Unless there’s a showdown with the Aces over the top seed, Chicago coach James Wade might be inclined to rest his stars. (A win over the team that beat Phoenix in the championship last season could be especially sweet if it secures a playoff spot.)

Who saw this coming?
Who would have predicted the Mercury would be in this position after starting the season 2-8?
Especially after it became clear that Brittney Griner wasn’t going to get out of a Russian prison and Kia Nurse wasn’t going to magically recover from a knee injury in time to impact the season.
BG42 update: Moscow says US must respect Russian law in Brittney Griner case
Then Tina Charles negotiated her way out of town and Diamond DeShields got hurt. (On the positive side, we’ve gotten the treat of DeShields in street clothes. She was on the bench during the Seattle game dressed like Storm, leader of the X-Men. Or maybe she looked like a college graduate who lost her cap. Either way, her fashion sense should have Cam Newton and Russell Westbrook trembling in their designer boots.)
We don’t know how many more tricks Nygaard has to unveil, but if she can keep counterpunching off a strategy that opponents have had nearly a full season to scout, as she did against the Storm, she could complete an unlikely turnaround that few would have predicted at most any point this season.
Teams around the league have a lot to be concerned about heading into the final stretch.

(The Hill) – The Atlanta-area prosecutor who is probing the effort by former President Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election result in Georgia was disqualified by a judge Monday from criminally investigating one of the 16 Republicans who served on a phony slate of pro-Trump electors.
The ruling, a stunning rebuke to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, came after a judge found that a conflict of interest barred Willis and her office from investigating state Sen. Burt Jones, one of the sham electors.
The district attorney last month hosted a fundraiser for a Democratic candidate who went on to win his party’s nomination and will now face off against Jones, whom Willis had identified as a target of the grand jury’s investigation.
“This scenario creates a plain — and actual and untenable – conflict,” Judge Robert McBurney of the Superior Court of Fulton County wrote in his Monday order disqualifying Willis from pursuing Jones. “Any decision the District Attorney makes about Senator Jones in connection with the grand jury investigation is necessarily infected by it.”
“An investigation of this significance, garnering the public attention it necessarily does and touching so many political nerves in our society, cannot be burdened by legitimate doubts about the District Attorney’s motives,” he wrote.
The order Monday rejected similar disqualification requests from 11 other phony electors who were subpoenaed by Willis’s office, meaning the Fulton County District Attorney’s probe of those targets may continue, and the investigation of Jones is expected to be handed off to another prosecutor’s office.
Still, the development represented a significant unforced error by a prosecutor handling one the nation’s most sensitive and high-profile criminal investigations, one which poses perhaps the most significant legal threat to Trump as the former president eyes a 2024 bid for the White House.
The issue arose after Jones and 11 other pro-Trump electors filed a court motion to disqualify Willis, arguing in part that her role in hosting and headlining a mid-June fundraiser for Charlie Bailey, a Democratic candidate vying against Jones for lieutenant governor of Georgia, represented a conflict of interest.
Willis, in court papers, had urged the judge to reject Jones’s request to disqualify her. She argued that Bailey was still locked in a runoff with a fellow Democratic contender.
But McBurney was unpersuaded, noting that whoever won the runoff would go on to face Jones.
“Thus, the District Attorney pledged her name, likeness, and office to Bailey as her candidate of choice at a time when, if Bailey were successful (which he was), he would face Senator Jones,” he wrote. “This choice — which the District Attorney was within her rights as an elected official to make — has consequences.”
The Georgia investigation has intensified recently as Trump considers whether to launch a White House campaign as early this summer.
The grand jury recently issued subpoenas to several high-profile figures, including Trump allies Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, as well as conservative lawyers John Eastman, Jenna Ellis and Cleta Mitchell. Willis’s office recently informed 12 of the 16 Republicans who served as fake Trump electors that they could face criminal charges.
Georgia has figured prominently into investigations of Trump’s effort to overturn his defeat by President Biden. In the weeks after the election, a telephone recording shows, Trump told Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” the number of votes required to overturn Biden’s margin of victory, which Raffensperger refused to do. | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/u-s-world/atlanta-area-da-disqualified-from-investigating-fake-trump-elector/ | 2022-07-25T22:39:39Z | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/u-s-world/atlanta-area-da-disqualified-from-investigating-fake-trump-elector/ | true |
NEW YORK — A former U.S. congressman from Indiana, technology company executives, a man training to be an FBI agent, and an investment banker were among nine people charged in four separate and unrelated insider trading schemes revealed on Monday with the unsealing of indictments in New York City.
It was one of the most significant attacks by law enforcement on insider trading in a decade, and a prosecutor and other federal officials pledged fresh enthusiasm for similar prosecutions in the future. They said the cheating resulted in millions of dollars of illegal profits for defendants situated on both coasts and in middle America.
Stephen Buyer was accused in court papers of engaging in insider trading during the $26.5 billion merger of T-Mobile and Sprint, announced in April 2018. An indictment identified him as someone who misappropriated secrets he learned as a consultant to make $350,000 illegally.
Buyer, 63, of Noblesville, Indiana, was arrested Monday in his home state. He served on committees with oversight over the telecommunications industry while a Republican congressman from 1993 through 2011.
He was described as making purchases of Sprint securities in March 2018 just a day after attending a golf outing with a T-Mobile executive who told him about the company's then-nonpublic plan to acquire Sprint, according to a civil case brought against Buyer by the Securities and Exchange Commission in a federal court in Manhattan.
Authorities said he also engaged in illegal trading in 2019 ahead of Navigant Consulting Inc.'s acquisition by consulting and advisory firm Guidehouse. Documents said he leveraged his work as a consultant and lobbyist to make illegal profits.
His lawyer, Andrew Goldstein, said in a statement: "Congressman Buyer is innocent. His stock trades were lawful. He looks forward to being quickly vindicated."
U.S. Attorney Damian Williams told a news conference that the cases, in addition to several other recently announced crackdowns on insider trading, represent a follow-through on his pledge to be "relentless in rooting out crime in our financial markets."
"We have zero tolerance, zero tolerance for cheating in our markets," said Gurbir S. Grewal, director of the SEC Enforcement Division.
"When insiders like Buyer — an attorney, a former prosecutor, and a retired Congressman — monetize their access to material, nonpublic information, as alleged in this case, they not only violate the federal securities laws, but also undermine public trust and confidence in the fairness of our markets," Grewal said.
In a second prosecution, three executives at Silicon Valley technology companies were charged with trading on inside information about corporate mergers that one of them learned about from his employer.
An indictment accused Amit Bhardwaj, 49, of San Ramon, California, who was the chief information security officer of Lumentum Holdings Inc., of using secrets to trade illegally and then giving the information to criminal associates, including four friends. The SEC said Bhardwaj and his friends generated more than $5.2 million in illicit profits by trading ahead of two corporate acquisition announcements.
A lawyer for Bhardwaj did not immediately return messages seeking comment.
In a third case, Seth Markin, of Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania — a man who was training to be an FBI agent — allegedly stole inside information from his then-girlfriend who was working at a major Washington, D.C., law firm. According to court papers, he and a friend made more than $1.4 million in illegal profits after he learned that Merck & Co. was going to acquire Pandion Therapeutics. It was unclear who would represent Markin in court.
In a fourth indictment, an investment banker based in New York was charged with sharing secrets about potential mergers with another person, on the understanding that the pair would share illegal profits of about $280,000.
Authorities said seven of the nine defendants were arrested Monday while two were arrested previously.

Middle school class loses 2 students to separate tragedies in same week
LAS VEGAS (KVVU/Gray News) – A middle school class in Las Vegas is mourning the loss of two students in one week.
Somerset Academy Lone Mountain said on July 17, Sofia Molina was murdered. Just two days later, the school received news that they lost another student, Viktoria Salazar, to bone cancer.
Both girls were just 12 years old and would be entering seventh grade next month.
Las Vegas police said Sofia is the victim of a murder-suicide involving her father, 42-year-old police officer Israel Molina. Police said he shot Sofia, his wife, and his son before killing himself. The wife and son survived with injuries.
The school held a candlelight vigil Friday to honor the girls.
Principal Cesar Tiu said he knew he had to do something to remember both students.
“We want to make sure we honor them, we celebrate them, celebrate their lives, what a great way for our community to come together and mourn as one,” Tiu said.
Tiu also said the school set up support groups for the other students.
“Death can be very, very hard for my middle school students especially, and so we wanted them to get the support that they need,” Tiu said.
Both Sofia and Viktoria’s mothers attended the vigil. A line of friends, teachers, family and students formed to give their condolences and support.
Maddie Osborn, a friend of Viktoria’s, said she is going to miss her friend, who Maddie described as a leader.
“I’m going to miss her being around. I’m going to miss her confidence. I’m going to miss being her friend,” Maddie said through tears.
Classes at Somerset Academy Lone Mountain are set to begin Aug. 10.

INDIANAPOLIS — A southern Indiana judge suspended after being arrested on a felony for hitting someone while a child watched has agreed to resign and won’t seek future judicial office, the Indiana Commission on Judicial Qualifications said Monday.
The Indiana Supreme Court suspended Bell in May when felony charges related to a domestic dispute were filed against her by a special prosecutor.
Indiana State Police arrested Bell in May on a charge of domestic battery in the presence of a child less than 16 years old. The charges stemmed from an incident that occurred in Crawford County on April 12. Police did not say who Bell battered.
Bell also served a 30-day suspension in 2019 for her involvement in a downtown Indianapolis fight and double-shooting that followed a night of bar-hopping.
The seven-member commission investigates alleged ethical misconduct by judges. If the commission believes misconduct has occurred, it can file public formal disciplinary charges. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/suspended-southern-indiana-judge-resigns-wont-seek-again/2022/07/25/30bf5b6e-0c69-11ed-88e8-c58dc3dbaee2_story.html | 2022-07-25T22:44:41Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/suspended-southern-indiana-judge-resigns-wont-seek-again/2022/07/25/30bf5b6e-0c69-11ed-88e8-c58dc3dbaee2_story.html | false |
By RONALD BLUM
AP Baseball Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — The players’ association rejected what Major League Baseball called its final offer for an international draft, a move that will keep direct draft-pick compensation in place for free agents and likely limit the market for some older players.
The union announced its decision about eight hours before Monday’s midnight EDT deadline for an agreement, timing specified in the March 10 lockout settlement.
“Each of our proposals was focused on protecting against the scenario that all players fear the most — the erosion of our game on the world stage, with international players becoming the latest victim in baseball’s prioritization of efficiency over fundamental fairness,” the union said in a statement. “The league’s responses fell well short of anything players could consider a fair deal.”
The decision keeps in place until December 2026 a system of qualifying offers for free agents that began in 2012. A club can make a qualifying offer following the World Series to a free agent who has been with the team since opening day, a one-year contract for the average of the top 125 deals by average annual value. Last year’s figure was $18.4 million.
If a player rejects a qualifying offer and signs elsewhere, the signing team is subject to a loss of one or two amateur draft picks and a reduction in international signing bonus pool allotment.
Some older players have found their market lessened because of the compensation. Craig Kimbrel and Dallas Keuchel delayed signing in 2019 until June, after the draft pick compensation no longer was attached.
Among the older players eligible for free agency after this season are Anthony Rizzo, J.D. Martinez, Chris Sale and Charlie Morton.
Top players have found robust markets. This year’s group is headed by Aaron Judge, Jacob deGrom and Trea Turner .
“We are disappointed the MLBPA chose the status quo over transitioning to an international draft that would have guaranteed future international players larger signing bonuses and better educational opportunities, while enhancing transparency to best address the root causes of corruption in the current system,” MLB said in a statement.
An amateur draft was established for residents of the United States and Canada in 1965 and extended to residents of U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico in 1990. MLB has pushed for a similar international amateur draft, saying part of its rationale was to combat illicit agreements made before players are age eligible — either 16 or 15 if the player turns 16 later in the signing period.
MLB proposed last July 28 that a 2024 international draft include spending of $181 million for the top 600 players and $190 million in total, up from $166 million in the 2021 signing period.
Players waited until early this July to make a counteroffer. They proposed a draft be allocated $260 million for the 2024 signing period, with teams having to guarantee slot values while having the flexibility to exceed them within bonus pools.
MLB increased its offer Saturday to $191 million for 2024 and said it was a final proposal. MLB dropped mandatory drug testing with penalties for positive tests and also changed its proposed medical combine from mandatory to optional. Management also offered to guarantee a minimum of $5,000 in educational money, a figure rising to $10,000 if the player passes a General Educational Development Test.
The union said MLB’s offer was not sufficient.
“Our draft proposals — unprecedented in MLBPA history — sought to establish minimum guarantees in player signings, roster spots, infrastructure investments, playing opportunities, scouting opportunities, as well as enforcement measures to combat corruption,” the union said. “We also made proposals to compensate international signees more fairly and in line with other amateurs, and to ensure that all prospects have access to an educational and player development safety net.”

DALLAS — A 37-year-old woman fired off several rounds with a handgun near a ticket counter in Dallas Love Field airport at 10:59 a.m. on Monday before being shot by a Dallas Police officer and taken to Parkland Hospital to have her injuries treated, police said.
Law enforcement has identified the suspect to WFAA as Portia Odufuwa.
In a press conference shortly after noon on Monday, Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia said the woman was dropped off at the airport and changed clothes in a restroom before approaching a ticket counter and firing a handgun.
It's not clear where the woman was aiming with her shots, or what her motive might have been, Garcia said, noting that the woman's shots did not strike anyone else in the airport.
Shortly after firing her weapon, Garcia said a Dallas Police officer shot at the woman and struck her in her lower body.
Garcia reported no other injuries from the shooting at the time of his press conference.
Video shared on social media in the wake of the reported shooting incident showed people crouching inside of the airport and taking cover after apparently being told to "run."
Sources tell WFAA that there may have been additional injuries in the chaos that ensued in those moments. Ambulances could be seen arriving at the airport at around 12:30 p.m.
The shooting caused widespread flight and security delays, as the airport had to be evacuated and all travelers had to be re-screened.
At 11:11 a.m., the Federal Aviation Administration issued a ground stop at Love Field over security concerns. The airport resumed operations just after 3:30 p.m. Monday.
Travelers were being asked to check with their airline for the latest updates on their flight status.
The Transportation Security Administration shortly before 12:30 p.m. reported that Love Field agents had evacuated everyone from the airport and were "in the process of rescreening all travelers through airport security checkpoint."
Around 2 p.m., TSA officials said "normal airport security checkpoint operations have resumed," thought flight operations were still suspended.
At least part of the airport was evacuated in the immediate wake of the shooing, a North Texas police chief reported. Rockwall Police Chief Max Geron, a former Dallas Police Department commander, tweeted about 11:20 a.m. that he "just got evacuated of Love Field after an apparent shooting."
"Family is safe," Geron tweeted. "TSA did a great job."
Additional video shared to social media revealed would-be passengers taking cover and crouching in an area between the airport and the tarmac.
Investigation continues after incident at Dallas Love Field where woman shot into ceiling

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas redshirt junior defensive back Jalen Catalon has been selected to the Paycom Jim Thorpe Award preseason watch list, which is presented annually to the nation’s top defensive back.
Catalon is one of 35 players to be named to the list and one of six selections from the SEC.
The Mansfield, Texas, product remains one of the nation’s top defensive backs despite missing most of 2021 due to a season-ending injury. Catalon finished eighth on the team with 46 total tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss despite playing only six games.
Heading into the 2022 season, Catalon has racked up numerous preseason accolades, including Phil Steele Preseason First Team All-America, Phil Steele Preseason First Team All-SEC and First Team Preseason All-SEC praise. | https://www.5newsonline.com/article/sports/ncaa/university-of-arkansas/razorback-football/catalon-lands-on-paycom-jim-thorpe-award-preseason-watch-list/527-9d8f8b19-038f-445c-afc2-50e7a1dc4da4 | 2022-07-25T22:48:55Z | https://www.5newsonline.com/article/sports/ncaa/university-of-arkansas/razorback-football/catalon-lands-on-paycom-jim-thorpe-award-preseason-watch-list/527-9d8f8b19-038f-445c-afc2-50e7a1dc4da4 | true |
SAN ANTONIO — There is a desperate search for answers as a family is preparing to bury two cousins who were just 14 and 15-years-old: Emi and Evi.
Family members say they believe 15-year-old Edward Evarado Menchaca called 911 for help as he was taking his last breaths.
His 14-year-old cousin Edgar Emiliano Rojas died as well.
San Antonio Police say the teens were sitting in a car at the corner of Schley and South Mittman early Saturday morning when someone fired an unknown number of rounds into the car.
At the time, SAPD spokesman Nick Solis said, "We don't know why they were here. We don't know what the motive is in this killing and we have no suspect information at this time."
Forty-eight hours later, the story is much the same. The search for clues continues, while the family tries to make sense of something senseless.
The aunt of the boys, Sarahi, said, "So much hate for just two kids."
Monday afternoon, Sarahi said the family was still waiting for investigators to confirm what they already know, having seen the crime scene on television.
"It was my sister's car. We had hoped it wasn't them, but once we saw the car and they said they're 15 and 14, we knew," Sarahi said.
She said the wait for confirmation has been especially hard.
Sarahi said, "It's really really hard. All they want is just the bodies right now. They just want to have their babies back with them."
Desperate for clues, Sarahi said family members have returned to the area, looking for anything police may have missed. Sarahi said on what appears to be an otherwise peaceful street, she found only one surveillance camera on a house that might have been pointed in the correct direction.
Sarahi said one of the teens worked every day at his family's tire shop just two blocks from where he died.
"They were good kids with really big hearts. I know everyone says that about everybody, but they were good kids. That's how the family is going to remember them," Sarahi said.
There is a GoFundMe to help the family with funeral expenses.
This incident comes after people in the neighborhood requested increased patrols because of violence. KENS 5 covered their initial request months ago. Now, the neighborhood association wrote the city another letter saying they need more police now.
"The recent shooting and loss of life off the 1500 block of Schley is what we have feared was coming. We call on city leaders, including our District 3 Councilwoman to request an increase of patrol in our neighborhood. We send our sincere thoughts and prayers to the families of the lives that were tragically lost and hope we as a neighborhood can come together to continue to work for the betterment of Highland Park area." - HPNA President Ryan Garza., | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/family-returns-to-crime-scene-searching-for-clues-after-teens-were-shot-killed-inside-car/273-dad43b3e-d8d7-4a6b-accd-3f2fca42fa6c | 2022-07-25T22:51:11Z | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/family-returns-to-crime-scene-searching-for-clues-after-teens-were-shot-killed-inside-car/273-dad43b3e-d8d7-4a6b-accd-3f2fca42fa6c | false |
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A man who took two girls from Eugene, Oregon, to Vancouver, Washington, supplied them with drugs, forced them to have sex and collected payments for it was sentenced to nearly 17 years in prison.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Pamela Paaso said 34-year-old Johnl Jackson used force and coercion to traffic the girls, ages 14 and 15, and mentored another man who also forced the girls to have sex with men for money, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported.
Jackson was arrested in 2019 in Vancouver. Paasco says with two co-defendants, Jackson recruited girls, advertised sexual services, delivered the girls to customers and split the proceeds.
A jury in March convicted Jackson of conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking, sex trafficking of a child, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation of a minor with intent to engage in sexual activity.
One of the victims listened to the hearing by phone and provided a written statement to the court, saying in part that Jackson had done the most unspeakable thing to her and that she's glad he won't be able to hurt another young child.
The victims, in separate instances in 2018, eventually were able to escape and call relatives, and in one instance, a 14-year-old girl convinced a man at a Battle Ground, Washington, barn party — where she had been taken — to help her.
Jackson's lawyer, Per C. Olson, said Jackson doesn't have a criminal history and had a difficult life with his dad in prison, homelessness and drug abuse.
Jackson told the judge he didn’t feel like he had a fair trial. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Man-sentenced-to-17-years-for-sex-trafficking-17328170.php | 2022-07-25T22:51:26Z | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Man-sentenced-to-17-years-for-sex-trafficking-17328170.php | false |

Can a weighted blanket really stop a heatwave ruining sleep? We ask the experts to review a selection of products to keep you cool in the heat
Cooler weather is here for a few days, but with experts saying there may be another heatwave this week, it’s worth investing in something that makes it easier to sleep.
‘Our core body temperature slowly drops by a degree or two at the end of the day and during the first part of the sleep cycle, which encourages us to doze off and helps us sleep well,’ explains Dr Ari Manuel, a respiratory, sleep and ventilation consultant at Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Spire Healthcare.
‘Very hot weather, however, can interfere with this natural process, keeping our core temperature warmer than it should be, which is one of the reasons it can be harder to fall and stay asleep,’ he says.
But can cooling products help? We asked Dr Manuel and Nerina Ramlakhan, a physiologist and sleep therapist based in London, to assess a selection. We then rated them…
Cooler weather is here for a few days, but with experts saying there may be another heatwave this week, it’s worth investing in something that makes it easier to sleep
Weighted blanket
Kudd.ly Cooling Weighted Blanket, £69, kudd.ly
Claim: This 5kg weighted blanket is crafted with a ‘HydroCool material’ — a lightweight, man-made fabric designed to wick sweat away from the surface of the skin and cause it to evaporate. The maker says this blanket ‘keeps you at a comfortable temperature throughout the night’ to ‘induce restorative sleep’.
Expert verdict: ‘Weighted blankets are popular with people who sleep poorly, and those with anxiety and restless legs,’ says Dr Manuel. ‘The theory is that the evenly distributed weight of the blanket exerts a gentle but firm pressure on the body — similar to a massage or hug — which is thought to release the feel-good hormone oxytocin, cause lower heart rate and blood pressure, and bring on a sense of calm.
‘If you rely on a weighted blanket for comfort but find your usual one too hot and heavy during the heatwave, then this lightweight, moisture-wicking version could be a good option. Restless sleepers might find that a weighted blanket can help stop them moving around in the heat. But they are not everyone’s cup of tea.’
Nerina Ramlakhan adds: ‘Many of my clients find a weighted blanket helpful. The ideal weight is no more than 10 per cent of your body weight, and this 5kg version can fit into that category.’
8/10
Kudd.ly Cooling Weighted Blanket
Chilly pillow
Silentnight Cool Touch Pillow, £22.99, amazon.co.uk
Claim: This hollowfibre pillow has a pressure-activated cooling gel pad which absorbs heat and ‘helps to prevent overheating throughout the night’, says the maker.
Expert verdict: ‘When it comes to regulating your core body temperature, a significant amount of heat can be lost through your head and face, as they are areas of the body that we tend to leave uncovered,’ says Dr Manuel.
‘But while pressing your head on to a cool, gel-covered pillow might feel soothing, it’s unlikely to help physically cool you down. In fact, if the gel pad is cold enough to cause constriction of the blood vessels, it could slow your body’s natural cooling processes by limiting circulation at the surface of the skin, which would make you retain heat instead.’
2/10
Hydro topper
ChiliSleep Ooler Sleep System Half King, £399.50, chilisleep.co.uk
Claim: This cooling, hydro-powered sleep system ‘actively manages the body’s temperature to help deliver deep sleep’.
A bit like underfloor heating or cooling for your bed, the electrical bedside unit pumps water into pipes that run through a padded mattress topper.
You can adjust the temperature of the water (between 13c and 46c) and the speed of the pump via an app on your phone and set a timer to allow the temperature to drop or rise overnight.
A four-week study of 75 customers reported that they were 36 per cent less likely to wake up because of discomfort during the night, and 40 per cent less likely to have trouble falling back to sleep.
Expert verdict: ‘Lying on a cool mattress topper won’t reduce your core temperature — but this could be useful if you like the sensation of lying on a cool surface and find it easier to fall asleep in a cooler environment,’ says Dr Manuel.
‘But you would have to be careful with the settings, as you could be left awake and chilly in the small hours if you don’t get the timer and/or heat adjustments right, as temperatures fall overnight.
‘People with a reasonable degree of tech know-how may enjoy using this and find it soothing.’
Nerina Ramlakhan adds: ‘It’s an expensive gadget that won’t suit everyone. I’m not keen that it works with an app, which encourages phone use in the bedroom. The artificial light may affect your body clock and disturb sleep.’
6/10
Cooling body wash
Elemis Cool-Down Body Wash, £30 for 200ml, elemis.com
Elemis Cool-Down Body Wash
Claim: Designed to create a cooling sensation on the skin, this is ‘perfect for ending your day on a fresh note’. It’s formulated with cooling menthol, eucalyptus and magnesium.
Expert verdict: ‘Menthol and eucalyptus oils can provide a “cooling” sensation,’ says Nerina Ramlakhan. ‘Magnesium is also widely used as a bath soak for sore muscles and has been shown to be important in regulating sleep.
‘Although these ingredients may only be present in small amounts, treating yourself to a soothing wind-down at the end of a hot day is a great way to psychologically prepare for a better night’s sleep.’
Dr Manuel adds: ‘It’s tempting to take a cold shower before bed when you’re feeling hot and bothered, but you shouldn’t.
‘Cold water will make your capillaries constrict, and your body will naturally retain heat rather than lose it. A tepid shower can be a good way to relax and cool off, though — and menthol may help soothe the nasal cavities. So if the minty smell works for you, a product like this could help you feel cool and fresh.’
5/10
Breezy nightie
Become Anti-Flush Night Dress, from £31.46, becomeclothing.com
Claim: The maker says the fabric is ‘treated with two innovative coatings’ and woven with ‘a flat, cross-knitted thread to transfer heat and promote cooling’.
Expert verdict: ‘You might think sleeping naked is the best way to stay cool in this heat, but a nightie or pyjamas in a thin, lightweight fabric will actually help to wick away sweat from the skin and keep you dry,’ says Dr Manuel.
‘This fabric is designed to keep body temperature stable, but any natural fibre — such as cotton or linen — would also do a good job.’
Nerina Ramlakhan says: ‘Look for loose, seam-free and elastic-free sleepwear, like this, as it’s less likely to bunch up or cling.’
8/10
Timed fan
MeacoFan 650 Air Circulator, £87.99, robertdyas.co.uk
MeacoFan 650 Air Circulator
Claim: This ‘quiet fan’ has a timer switch so it turns itself off during the night, making sure you don’t wake up cold. Its eco-mode lets the fan regulate itself depending on the room temperature.
Expert verdict: ‘A fan can feel cooling on the skin as it encourages sweat to evaporate, but it won’t reduce your core temperature,’ says Dr Manuel.
‘However, some people find circulating air soothing, so a bedroom fan could help you feel calmer and sleep better.
‘The timer here is useful as temperatures tend to drop overnight, so programming the fan to stop for a few hours after you’ve fallen asleep will hopefully mean you won’t wake up feeling chilly.’
Nerina Ramlakhan adds: ‘I find the white noise of a fan helps soothe me to sleep, so this quiet model wouldn’t be my first choice. A small, inexpensive travel fan would work well, too.’
6/10
Move the mattress
‘Hot air will always rise inside your home, so sleeping downstairs or simply moving your mattress from a high bed frame to the floor should offer a significant temperature difference — and hopefully a more restful night,’ says sleep physiologist Dr Guy Meadows, co-founder of Sleep School. His other tips include:
Change position: ‘If you usually sleep on your front or back, try sleeping on your side for a change. Lying on your side exposes a larger area of the body to the air, allowing heat to escape more efficiently.’
Keep furniture cool: The NHS advises that you keep windows shut and curtains closed on the sunny side of your home during the day. Sun streaming through windows will heat not just the air in your house, but the floors, furniture and counter tops, too — all of which have a high capacity to store and then radiate heat long into the evening.
Create a cross-breeze: Once the sun goes down, swap the warm air in your bedroom for cool outside air. An hour or two before bedtime, open your bedroom window, and then a window on the opposite side and opposite end of the house.
Leaving the doors between the two rooms wide open (and closing the doors of any rooms you’re not using), place a fan, pointing out of the window, in the room on the opposite side of the house.
When you turn the fan on it should create a low pressure system, forcing warm air out and boosting the intake of cool air through your bedroom window. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11047585/Can-weighted-blanket-really-stop-heatwave-ruining-sleep.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-25T22:56:48Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11047585/Can-weighted-blanket-really-stop-heatwave-ruining-sleep.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |
Town of Ball Celebrates 50th Anniversary
Over the weekend the Town of Ball in Rapides Parish held a 50th Anniversary celebration. ABC 31’s Joel Massey was there and has this report.
The Town Of Ball’s 50th Anniversary Celebration opened with a bang, a 20 minute fireworks display that was top notch.
Long time Ball resident Wade Williams was there and told me a little about why he loves his town.
“Especially family roots run deep here, quiet we’re a quiet little town we’re growing massively. In the past 12 years we’ve grown more than we’ve ever seen. And it is absolutely a strong God fearing community.”
“It’s a big blessing that we have actually come this far as a community and holding together strong. Especially in times of crisis times of need we all come together.”
There were several vendors at both events Friday evening and Saturday including folks selling barbecue, ice cream and shaved ice. I even got a free Bill’s Lemonade.
Paris Jones of Miss Breezes Ice Cream was happy to be invited.
“I am supporting the town of Ball for the 50th anniversary today and tomorrow and my company name is Ms. Breezes Ice Cream.”
Mayor Gail Wilking has been in office for two-and-a-half years. She was elected in special election after Mayor Roy Hebron was disqualified because Louisiana changed its laws to not allow felons to hold office.
“The town was incorporated 50 years ago. We are celebrating that and we’re trying to have the best celebration that the town has ever experienced. We have a lot to celebrate in this town. We’ve come from a reputation of corruption to a happy town.”
“But we have dancing in the street all day long so if you feel like dancing Joel you come and you and I will cut a rug.”
While I didn’t take her up on her offer, I did see a lot of children there just having fun in the sun.
On Saturday at the stage in the town’s park they had a Cajun band playing, a classic rock cover band and a DJ.
Some classic and newer cars were on hand to be judged in a car show but outside activities wasn’t the only thing happening. In their community center they set up a small museum with pictures and newspaper articles showing Ball’s history over the years.
Riverboat Captain C.E. Ball, (1828 – 1900) built a saw mill and founded of the village in the mid 1800s.
Eighty-four-year-old Gwen Duncan has lived here since 1953 and was around when the town charter happened in 1972.
“It’s been fun we’ve lived here since I was 15 years old, and my dad was one of the first aldermen when it was organized in ’72 he was also the first volunteer fire chief.”
Her daughter Suzanne Duncan-Furby is following in her grandfather’s footsteps in becoming a town council person.
“She chose to run after her grandpa, and she loves it she loves the work.”
Gwen remembers the hard work that went into the founding of the Town of Ball.
“Five men put their heads together and decided that they wanted to organize the town and they did a lot of hard work with very little resources, and they built the town from scratch.”
Gwen is glad to be a Ball resident and a part of showing folks the history of the town.
“It gives a lot of history we have a lot of good folks that live in Ball and it’s been good to go back and look at, we have a lot of history here behind us”
Overall, the celebration cost the town about $4800 not including the approximate $2000 that came in from corporate sponsors. | http://klax-tv.com/town-of-ball-celebrates-50th-anniversary/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=town-of-ball-celebrates-50th-anniversary | 2022-07-25T22:57:34Z | http://klax-tv.com/town-of-ball-celebrates-50th-anniversary/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=town-of-ball-celebrates-50th-anniversary | false |
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Is $810 million worth $2?
That’s a good question, given it costs $2 to buy a Mega Millions lottery ticket that could pay off with an estimated $810 million prize — the nation’s fourth-largest jackpot — after the game’s next drawing Tuesday night.
ISN’T IT AN OBVIOUS QUESTION?
Not really.
To start with, your chance of winning the grand prize is minuscule, at one in 302.5 million. You have better odds of a smaller payoff, such as winning $1 million for matching five regular numbers but missing the Mega Ball. But even that is one in 12.6 million. To put that in perspective, your chance of dying in a car crash — something to consider as you drive to the mini-mart for a lottery ticket — is around one in 101 over a lifetime, according to the nonprofit National Safety Council.
As lottery officials note, players should think of their $2 bet as a chance to dream while accepting the reality they likely won’t be entering a new income tax bracket Tuesday night.
STILL, A SHOT AT $810 MILLION SEEMS WORTH $2
Ah, but even if you somehow beat the odds you are not going to get $810 million.
First, that’s the amount for winners who take the annuity option, paid over 30 annual payments. But winners nearly always opt for cash, which for this drawing would pay out an estimated $470.1 million.
And then there are federal taxes, which will slice 37% off that cash prize, so that would leave less than $300 million, though state taxes could cut into that amount as well, depending on where the winner lives. Still a fortune, but a smaller fortune. That also doesn’t account for the possibility that someone else will match the winning numbers, meaning they would need to divide even those smaller winnings in half or more, depending on the number of lucky players.
NEARLY $300 MILLION ISN’T CHUMP CHANGE
It is definitely a big paycheck.
To put that in perspective, consider that the median U.S. household income in 2020 was $67,500, meaning a lifetime of work at that rate would be less than 1% of even the smaller jackpot after taxes.
But sadly, if you had won that same prize a year ago, before the nation endured a year with an inflation rate of about 9%, your buying power would have been significantly higher.
BUT SOMEONE WILL WIN
Eventually, though the reason the grand prize has grown so large is because no one has matched all six numbers since April. That’s 28 consecutive drawings without someone hitting the jackpot.
With so many people playing now that the potential top prize is so large, it becomes increasingly likely that someone or multiple players will finally end that streak. Still, past prizes have grown larger, as the biggest payday was a $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot won in 2016.
Mega Millions is played in 45 states as well as Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The game is overseen by state lottery officials.
SO, IS IT WORTH GAMBLING $2
If you have fun dreaming of a massive windfall that most likely won’t actually blow your way, buy a ticket. But if you need to watch your money, consider keeping the $2 in your wallet. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/u-s-world/is-790-million-worth-a-2-mega-millions-ticket-it-depends/ | 2022-07-25T23:00:03Z | https://www.wowktv.com/news/u-s-world/is-790-million-worth-a-2-mega-millions-ticket-it-depends/ | false |
RICHMOND, Va -- Newly-released video showing Richmond Police Officers deploying tear gas into a peaceful crowd of protesters gathered at the former Robert E. Lee Monument is now available for the public to view. As part of a federal lawsuit settlement between multiple demonstrators and the City of Richmond, police records from the day of the incident on June 1, 2020, were released through the Library of Virginia more than two years later.
Body camera footage revealed officers saying "gas them" and chanting "gas, gas, gas" just before unleashing the chemicals, which sent hundreds of people running away in fear while coughing and sneezing. Officers were heard cursing at demonstrators and seen spraying them with mace even after the gas was deployed.
While in a police cruiser heading toward the statue, some officers were heard cheering when they received approval to gas the crowd, with expressions including "Woo" and "Oh yeah, it's going down."
After the incident, footage showed officers questioning the commands they were given and asking if the crowd was given a warning before the gas was used.
Another officer responded, "who cares?"
At the time, Richmond Police tweeted they had to use gas because violent protesters were putting officers' safety at risk.
On July 1, 2022, and as part of the settlement, police admitted the tweet was false and recognized demonstrators were peaceful.
Richmond Police said multiple protests were happening at multiple monuments the day of the incident, and there was confusion about which demonstrations were peaceful and which ones were not.
Megan Rickman Blackwood was one of several protesters who sued the city for violating their rights. She said the tear gassing made many Richmonders feel as if they cannot safely publicly protest since that day.
“I think there's an underlying current of fear to what happened here. Yes, I came back out, but it chilled the First Amendment for so many people," Blackwood said. “It’s haunting and will be forever.”
While she believed the release of body camera footage was a step toward transparency, it was hard for her to look back on it.
“It’s absolutely retraumatizing. It's triggering. You feel all the anxiety, all the stress again. Pulling up here [Lee Circle] today, I had a knot in my stomach.”
Blackwood said protesters felt they never received the apology they deserved from Richmond Police.
"I still don't feel that way. Even with the Twitter redaction, I do not think that there has been a true reckoning, and I don't think there will be until they take this fence down and allow the people that were traumatized in the space, the people that were wronged in this space, to decide what happens next with this space," she said.
Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney, who met and marched with protesters the day following the tear gas incident, has previously rebuked police for what happened. He told CBS 6 he was satisfied a deal was reached between the city and protesters that would provide transparency. However, inquiries to his office about whether he has reviewed the body camera footage and had a response have not yet been answered.
CBS 6 also asked Richmond Police Chief Gerald Smith, who was brought on by Mayor Stoney after the Lee Statue incident, for comment on the new developments during a press conference Monday.
“I don’t have any comment on it right now, but if you had a specific question, we’d be more than happy to entertain what that would be," Chief Smith said.
CBS 6 followed up with a Richmond Police spokesperson about how Chief Smith would prevent future mistakes under his leadership and what steps Richmond Police has taken to build trust with the community. The spokesperson said she would check in with Smith for answers.
CBS 6 also asked Chief Smith on July 6 how he would review communication protocols to ensure information released by Richmond Police is accurate. Smith did not answer at the time, but a spokesperson later said:
"In an effort to ensure accuracy, RPD has a protocol for disseminating information that utilizes internal reviews and approvals based on the subject matter and affected Units."
Other records are also accessible through the Library of Virginia including dispatch recordings and officer narratives. Protesters who were present at the Lee Circle on June 1, 2020, can also provide their own accounts of what happened to be added to the repository.
Blackwood said part of the lawsuit settlement that did not come to fruition was the city allowing protesters to have decision-making sway in the efforts to transform Monument Avenue.
"One of the major things that I was hoping to accomplish with this lawsuit was to make sure that the city was guaranteed to include people that were affected by this incident, people that were here protesting, as a part of the reimagination process. That has not come to fruition. We are not seeing any engagement. We're not seeing any anyone being brought to the table that was impacted by that event. You still see on a regular basis, people from this community posting about what an eyesore it [Lee Circle' is and how tired they are looking at it," Blackwood said.
You can look through the protest collection here.

Which Optoma projector is best?
A massive TV is a natural choice if you want to watch sports or action films, or play video games on the biggest screen possible. But the price tag of some 4K TVs can be prohibitive.
There is an alternative that is often much cheaper. A projector can easily produce a 100-inch image and the quality will be just as good as a TV of the same size. Optoma has several projectors that can replace a TV, from the brilliant quality of 4K laser technology to more affordable high-definition options. A top choice is the Optoma CinemaX P2 Smart 4K UHD Laser Projector.
What to know before you buy an Optoma projector
Some need a lot of space to project
The space needed between the projector and the wall or fabric is called the throwing distance. While it varies among Optoma models, a projector needs a fair bit of room if you want to produce a 100-inch image. For instance, the Optoma HD39HDR projects a 120-inch image from almost 10 feet away.
However, there are short-throwing distance Optoma projectors that only need a few inches to achieve the same result. For example, the Optoma CinemaX P2 only needs 5.7 inches of space to produce an 85-inch image.
For the best experience, go for a laser projector
The most common light source for a projector is a lamp, and it’s what most imagine when thinking of a projector. While a lamp is certainly capable of delivering good visuals, it pales in comparison with upgraded laser technology.
Laser projectors provide maximum brightness, often suited for lights-on viewing or watching content outside. The quality also remains the same throughout the laser’s lifespan, whereas lamps can degrade over time.
Don’t rely on the built-in speakers
It’s handy to have built-in speakers on a projector, but it shouldn’t be the deciding factor. Most speakers on a projector are just a novelty and don’t produce the sound quality you’re hoping for.
The best option is to connect external speakers or a home theater system to the projector. An audio-out port or a Bluetooth connection is an excellent alternative for superior sound.
What to look for in a quality Optoma projector
Brightness
A projector’s brightness is indicated in lumens, and the higher the number, the brighter the projection. While lack of brightness doesn’t always affect the content’s quality, it can make it difficult to see. Low-brightness projectors struggle to produce clear images in sunny or well-lit rooms, though they’re perfect for areas where there isn’t a lot of ambient light. On the other hand, a high-lumen projector throws a clear image that’s visible even during the day.
A high refresh rate for fast motions
If you have ever watched sports or an action movie on an older TV, you’ve probably noticed the motion blur when things pick up speed. It can be jarring. That’s because the TV’s refresh rate is lower than that of the content. And motion blur is amplified when the screen is larger, such as a projector.
To combat this, a good-quality projector has a high refresh rate. The pixels can change colors in a millisecond, providing a smooth transition in visuals, unlike the ghosting appearance of a lower-refresh-rate device.
Multiple connections
The best thing about a good-quality projector is that multiple devices connect to it. While the regular HDMI connection is expected, having additional options through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and memory cards greatly expands your content sources.
A Wi-Fi connection is essential, though, if you’re planning on having epic movie nights or watching that important game on a much bigger screen. Wi-Fi lets you stream content from a mobile device to the projector.
How much you can expect to spend on an Optoma projector
The price largely depends on its resolution and additional functions. An affordable projector capable of high-definition content and sufficient brightness costs $800-$900. However, a 4K laser projector with a built-in sound bar costs $2,000-$3,500.
Optoma projector FAQ
Can you mount an Optoma projector to a ceiling?
A. Yes, in most cases, as long as the projector is compatible with mounting options. The most common mounting or bracket type is VESA, so if a projector is VESA-compatible, you know it conforms to an international standard.
What does it mean if a projector is compatible with IFTTT?
A. IFTTT is a popular home automation app, as it stands for “If This, Then That.” Essentially, you feed the app a set of conditions and once they’re met, it triggers an action. For example, if your smart doorbell rings, then the projector automatically mutes the volume.

Depending on where you live, abortion laws may now be different.
The 5-4 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade sent shockwaves across the nation, as states can now establish their own laws relating to abortion care.
Some states have signed executive orders strengthening access to abortion care and protecting those who seek or perform the procedure.
"We will not aid, we will not abet in their efforts to be punitive, to fine and create fear for those that seek that support," said California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Other states immediately restricted access or eliminated the right to abortion care altogether.
"There's just so many things that are frustrating right now that I feel are really out of my control, but if we come together, we can change things," said KellyAnn Bates, an abortion rights demonstrator.
According to the Guttmacher Institute, since Roe was overturned, at least 13 states have ended nearly all abortion services. Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Texas have completely banned abortion with few exceptions.
In Florida, a ban on abortions after 15 weeks into a pregnancy, with exceptions if the procedure is necessary to save the woman's life, took effect July 1.
And last week, a federal appeals court in Georgia ruled the state can prohibit abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, which typically occurs around six weeks into a pregnancy. Ohio, South Carolina, and Tennessee are also enforcing bans after six weeks of pregnancy.
Patient care has changed, too. Abortion providers in states where access is still available reported seeing an influx of out-of-state patients.
In St. Louis, Mayor Tishaura Jones signed a bill Thursday creating the Reproductive Equity Fund, which covers the cost of out-of-state travel for abortions. In response, Missouri's attorney general is now suing the city of St. Louis.
Friday in Kentucky, a judge issued an injunction blocking enforcement of two state laws that ban almost all abortions, which means clinics can continue providing abortion care while the legal challenge proceeds.
"It's a small sigh of relief. It bodes well for our case, and it shows that the judge has recognized the gravity of the situation and how important this care is for the people of Kentucky," said Angela Cooper of ACLU in Kentucky.
In addition to Kentucky, abortion bans in Louisiana and Utah have also been blocked in court and are awaiting hearings. Earlier this month, in what was the Democrats' first legislative response to the ruling, the House voted to restore abortion rights nationwide.
"The yays are 219. The nays are 210. The bill is passed," said Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The bill has little chance of becoming law, however, with the necessary support lacking in the Senate.
In the 30 days since the ruling, reproductive health care has needed to operate in a new landscape, as well.
Doctors and prescribers across the U.S. are now seeing an increased demand for contraception, especially emergency forms.
Some national pharmacy chains are even imposing limits on purchases.

Paul Sorvino, an imposing actor who specialized in playing crooks and cops like Paulie Cicero in “Goodfellas” and the NYPD sergeant Phil Cerreta on “Law & Order,” has died. He was 83.
His publicist Roger Neal said he died Monday morning of natural causes at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. Sorvino had dealt with health issues over the past few years.
Mira Sorvino, his daughter, wrote a tribute on Twitter: “My father the great Paul Sorvino has passed. My heart is rent asunder- a life of love and joy and wisdom with him is over. He was the most wonderful father. I love him so much. I’m sending you love in the stars, Dad, as you ascend.”
Many responded to Mira Sorvino’s tweet with condolences and sympathy. Jane Lynch wrote, “Your father sang ‘Danny Boy’ for my Aunt Marge at The Chicago Film Critics Awards in 2012. We all cried.” Rob Reiner, who appeared in one of his father’s films with Sorvino, said he was sending love. Lorraine Bracco tweeted two broken heart emojis.
In his over 50 years in the entertainment business, Sorvino was a mainstay in films and television, playing an Italian American communist in Warren Beatty’s “Reds,” Henry Kissinger in Oliver Stone’s “Nixon” and mob boss Eddie Valentine in “The Rocketeer.” He would often say that while he might be best known for playing gangsters (and his very good system for slicing garlic) his real passions were poetry, painting and opera.
Born in Brooklyn in 1939 to a mother who taught piano and father who was a foreman in a robe factory, Sorvino was musically inclined from a young age and attended the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York where he fell for the theater. He made his Broadway debut in 1964 in “Bajour” and his film debut in Carl Reiner’s “Where’s Poppa?” in 1970.
With his 6-foot-4-inch stature, Sorvino made an impactful presence no matter the medium. In the 1970s, he acted alongside Al Pacino in “The Panic in Needle Park” and with James Caan in “The Gambler,” reteamed with Reiner in “Oh, God!” and was among the ensemble in William Friedkin’s bank robbery comedy “The Brink’s Job.” In John G. Avildsen’s “Rocky” follow-up “Slow Dancing in the Big City,” Sorvino got to play a romantic lead and use his dance training opposite professional ballerina Anne Ditchburn.
He was especially prolific in the 1990s, kicking off the decade playing Lips in Beatty’s “Dick Tracy” and Paul Cicero in Martin Scorsese’s “Goodfellas,” who was based on the real-life mobster Paul Vario, and 31 episodes on Dick Wolf’s “Law & Order.” He followed those with roles in “The Rocketeer,” “The Firm,” “Nixon,” which got him a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination, and Baz Luhrmann’s “Romeo + Juliet” as Juliet’s father, Fulgencio Capulet. Beatty would turn to Sorvino often, enlisting him again for his political satire “Bulworth,” which came out in 1998, and his 2016 Hollywood love letter “Rules Don’t Apply.”
Sorvino had three children from his first marriage, including Academy Award-winning actor Mira Sorvino. He also directed and starred in a film written by his daughter Amanda Sorvino and featuring his son Michael Sorvino.
When he learned that Mira Sorvino had been among the women allegedly sexually harassed and blacklisted by Harvey Weinstein in the midst of the #MeToo reckoning, he told TMZ that if he had known, Weinstein, “Would not be walking. He’d be in a wheelchair.”
He was proud of his daughter and cried when she won the best supporting actress Oscar for “Mighty Aphrodite” in 1996. He told the Los Angeles Times that night that he didn’t have the words to express how he felt.
“They don’t exist in any language that I’ve ever heard — well, maybe Italian,” he said.
But he wanted to be seen for more than what he was on screen and took particular pride in his singing. In 1996, “Paul Sorvino: An Evening of Song” was broadcast on television as a part of a PBS fundraising campaign. Songs performed included “Torna A Sorriento,” “Guaglione,” “O Sole Mio,” “The Impossible Dream” and “Mama.”
“I’m a pop singer in the sense Mario Lanza was,” Sorvino said in an interview the Tampa Tribune. “It astonishes me that no American male singer sings with a full voice anymore. Where have all the tenors gone?”
The weight of his voice, he thought, made it difficult to train.
“It’s like trying to park a bus in a VW parking space,” he said.
He also ran a horse rescue in Pennsylvania, had a grocery store pasta sauce line based on his mother’s recipe, and sculpted a bronze statue of the late playwright Jason Miller that resides in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Sorvino had starred in Miller’s Tony- and Pulitzer-winning play “That Championship Season” on Broadway in 1972, which also got him a Tony nomination, and its film adaptation.
In 2014, he married political pundit Dee Dee Benkie and said that a goal of his later life was to “disabuse people of the notion that I’m a slow-moving, heavy-lidded thug.”
“Our hearts are broken, there will never be another Paul Sorvino, he was the love of my life, and one of the greatest performers to ever grace the screen and stage,” his wife said in a statement. She was by his side when he died.
As with most who starred in “Goodfellas,” the image would follow him for the rest of his life which he had complex feelings about.
’Most people think I’m either a gangster or a cop or something,” he said. “The reality is I’m a sculptor, a painter, a best-selling author, many, many things — a poet, an opera singer, but none of them is gangster…. It would be nice to have my legacy more than that of just tough guy.” | https://www.wowktv.com/top-stories/ap-top-headlines/goodfellas-law-order-actor-paul-sorvino-dies-at-83/ | 2022-07-25T23:07:32Z | https://www.wowktv.com/top-stories/ap-top-headlines/goodfellas-law-order-actor-paul-sorvino-dies-at-83/ | false |
Declo man given 11 years for methamphetamine distribution
Officials say they investigated multiple people for distributing methamphetamine between March of 2020 and 2021
DECLO, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — A Declo man was sentenced to 11 years in prison for distributing methamphetamine, officials with the Department of Justice said Monday.
Melvin Misale Alcaraz-Valdez was also ordered to serve five years of probation following his release.
Officials say they investigated multiple people for distributing methamphetamine between March of 2020 and 2021 in the Minidoka and Cassia County area.
Officers found that Alacarez-Valdez was actively engaged in the distribution of the drug, as well as being in possession of large amounts of it. Four pounds of methamphetamine were recovered during the investigation.
Officials say the cooperation of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Idaho State Police, Cassia County Sheriff’s Office, Minidoka County Sheriff’s Office, Nampa Police Department, and Ada County Sheriff’s Department lead to the charges.

Boss all set for Tranmere after hailing 'fantastic' pre-season at Stevenage
- Credit: GAVIN ELLIS/TGS PHOTO
Stevenage manager Steve Evans is raring to go for the new season after a "fantastic" pre-season.
Boro end their fixtures with a young squad heading to Northern Premier League Stamford, one last 90 minutes away from completing an unbeaten eight-game sequence.
And the confidence generated from that set of results, together with a full bill of health for his squad, has left the boss excited for day one of the League Two campaign and a trip to Tranmere Rovers.
"In totality, pre-season has been fantastic." he said.
"Most of them came back in good shape and we’ve got the rest of them into really good shape so we’re in a really good place.
"Dean Campbell rolled his ankle last week in the game at St Albans and missed the last week but everyone will be on the training ground this week.
"That’s good shape.

"We need to sharpen the process this week but the boys are ready and we’re confident.

"We’ve worked on three systems and all three have worked well and a change in system would change the personnel.
"But the good thing is the balance in this squad and sometimes it is just not possible to get everyone you want but we’ve got more than most.
"It gives us an opportunity to train properly and get sharp and work on set-plays which could make a difference." | https://www.thecomet.net/sport/steve-evans-on-stevenage-pre-season-9167410 | 2022-07-25T23:23:30Z | https://www.thecomet.net/sport/steve-evans-on-stevenage-pre-season-9167410 | true |
SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (AP) — If the United Auto Workers union can’t organize workers at new electric-vehicle battery factories that will supply Detroit’s three automakers, the union’s future would be in serious doubt.
Ray Curry, president of the 372,000-member UAW, says union representation at the battery plants is critical, given that the major automakers are staking their futures on the widespread adoption of electric vehicles.
“It’s going to be key to lock down that type of new technology,” Curry said in an interview with The Associated Press on the eve of the union’s convention in Detroit this week. “Everybody is dependent upon what happens out of that bargaining.”
General Motors, Ford and Stellantis have announced plans to build seven U.S. factories in joint ventures with battery makers. The plants are expected to employ thousands and to supply power for electric vehicles that the automakers say will account for as much as half their U.S. sales by 2030. EVs now constitute only about 5% of the market.
During the years-long transition from combustion engines to electricity, Curry said, thousands of workers who now manufacture engines and transmissions will need jobs. He argued that these workers should receive top assembly-line wages, now around $32 an hour, without any jobs lost to the technology change.
Any decision on union representation will be part of contract talks with the three automakers that will start next summer.
Sam Abuelsamid, a research analyst at Guidehouse Insights, agreed that as gasoline-powered vehicle sales decline and battery plants become one of the industry’s few employment growth areas, the UAW will need to organize these factories if it is to retain jobs. Fewer workers, he noted, will be required to build electric vehicles, which are much simpler to produce than combustion-engine vehicles.
“They’re going to lose a lot of members, especially from powertrain plants and some other component plants, and also probably from assembly plants,” Abuelsamid said of the union.
Complicating matters is that because the plants are joint ventures between the automakers and battery manufacturers, the two companies may differ on the issue of union representation. GM, which will open the first of the battery plants this summer in Lordstown, Ohio, has said it will support the UAW’s representation.
The issue of EV jobs is so important to the future of the UAW that some industry analysts predict strikes against automakers once contracts expire in September 2023. And because the automakers want costs to be competitive with nonunion battery plants, strikes, if they occur, could run long.
Any decision to strike would be up to the UAW’s members, Curry said. The union, he said, could reach a deal with one automaker “and then the others all line up.”
Curry argued that labor costs make up only a small portion of total battery expenses and that paying union wages would still leave the new factories competitive with non-union battery plants.
With inflation at a 40-year high, the union will seek to restore cost-of-living pay raises, which were suspended after the 2008-2009 Great Recession battered the auto industry.
“You cannot, during a four-year agreement, not have increased wages and sustain your purchasing power,” Curry said.
When UAW workers at John Deere won cost-of-living raises last year after a monthlong strike, Curry said, it raised interest among workers in the auto and other industries.
The union also is trying to organize workers at factories in the South run by automakers based in other countries. And Curry said it’s looking at electric vehicle startups and is still trying to organize Tesla’s factory in Fremont, California.
The UAW, he said, has recruiters at many of the locations, including at Nissan and Volkswagen factories whose workers narrowly rejected union representation in during the past few years. Curry declined to say where the first vote might be.
At this week’s convention, delegates will nominate candidates for all the union’s top offices, to be elected this fall. In the past, delegates to the four-year convention chose the officers. But last year, members voted for direct elections in the wake of a bribery and embezzlement scandal that sent two former UAW presidents and other union officials to prison.
Curry, appointed last year to replace a retiring president, says he will be running, and he will face opposition.
To avoid a federal takeover after the scandal, the union agreed to financial reforms and to a court-appointed monitor to oversee its operations. Last week, the monitor, Neil Barofsky, accused UAW leaders of concealing misconduct by an official and of failing to put proper financial controls in place. The union’s conduct interfered with the monitor’s ability to do his work, Barofsky wrote.
His assertions raised questions about whether the union has reformed itself as it has announced. Barofsky wrote that he sent two cases to the U.S. Attorney in Detroit for investigation.
Curry conceded that Barofsky should have been notified about the misconduct earlier and said the union has hired a new top lawyer. Also, he noted, its outside law firm is no longer dealing with the monitor. He said the union has tried to reset its relationship with Barofsky and blamed, in part, miscommunication.
“What we’ve asked him now,” Curry said, “is if there’s something that’s not right, that doesn’t line up, and you’ve got a question about it, please advise us because we would not want to hear it six months later as part of a report.”
Barofsky also asserted that the union lacks controls in place requiring budgets for internal conferences. Nor does it have limits on spending for drinks, dinners and other line items.
Curry said those safeguards are coming, contending that it takes time to adopt all the reforms while the union manages contract talks, organizing and other issues.
“All of these things can’t happen overnight,” he said. “But I can assure you, we’re working to make sure that they happen.” | https://www.ksn.com/news/business/ap-business/to-preserve-jobs-uaw-head-says-battery-plants-must-be-union/ | 2022-07-25T23:25:29Z | https://www.ksn.com/news/business/ap-business/to-preserve-jobs-uaw-head-says-battery-plants-must-be-union/ | true |
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Dozens of University of Michigan medical students walked out of a weekend ceremony to protest a speaker who publicly opposes abortion rights.
Dr. Kristin Collier, an assistant professor of medicine, was the keynote speaker Sunday at an annual event where new medical students are formally welcomed and given a white lab coat.
A video of some students walking out was posted to social media and has received more than 11 million views.
Collier didn’t refer to abortion in her remarks, but she has shared her opinions on social media and in interviews.
“Holding on to a view of feminism where one fights for the rights of all women and girls, especially those who are most vulnerable. I can’t not lament the violence directed at my prenatal sisters in the act of abortion, done in the name of autonomy,” she said on social media earlier this year.
A petition signed by 340 medical students, including some of the new ones, had urged the university to drop Collier as a speaker.
Spokeswoman Mary Masson said the university “does not revoke an invitation to a speaker based on their personal beliefs.”
The ceremony “is not a platform for discussion of controversial issues,” and Collier “never planned to address a divisive topic as part of her remarks,” Masson said.
Collier didn’t immediately respond to a Monday request for comment.
Dr. Joseph Kolars, a senior associate dean, said Collier was nominated to speak by members of a medical school student honor society. He told the audience that she is an “enormously popular teacher and physician.”
During her address Sunday, Collier offered philosophical advice to students about how to thrive in medical school. She opened by noting “the deep wounds our community has suffered over the past several weeks,” apparently a reference to the controversy over her appearance.
“We have a great deal of work to do for healing to occur,” Collier said.
The petition signed by her critics said it wasn’t “simply a disagreement on personal opinion.”
“Through our demand we are standing up in solidarity against groups who are trying to take away human rights and restrict medical care,” students said of abortion rights.

MILAN (AP) — The first of some 300 Afghan refugees arrived in Rome on Monday along a new humanitarian corridor organized by the Italian government, charities and international organizations, Italy’s Foreign Ministry announced.
The humanitarian corridor aims to give “additional refugees and persecuted Afghans the possibility of a future in dignity and security” following the U.S. withdrawal last August and the Taliban’s reassertion of control, the ministry said.
Thousands of Afghan citizens were evacuated after the fall of Kabul, but many who risked Taliban retribution were left behind. The Foreign Ministry said the corridor, which envisions the transfer of 1,200 Afghan refugees from Iran, Pakistan and other neighboring countries, would give priority to women and children.
The first nine Afghan refugees arrived on a flight from Tehran. Another 200 are flying from Islamabad on Wednesday with a third group arriving from Tehran on Thursday.
At the same time, the number of Afghan refugees taking smuggling routes is growing, with some 3,280 arriving in Italy by sea so far this year, according to the U.N. refugee agency. The International Organization for Migration said Afghans are the top nationality daring the perilous central Mediterranean Sea route to European shores, with 8,121 arrivals through last Friday.
Both organizations were involved in organizing the corridor transfers, along with Italy’s foreign and interior ministries and charities including the Community of Sant’Egidio and Caritas.
Italy has tried for several years to arrange humanitarian corridors so people fleeing conflict, persecution or other grave situations would have an alternative to being smuggled by human traffickers. But the numbers of those being able to reach other countries through these corridors are small compared to the tens of thousands of people who resort to smugglers to reach Europe.
In Sicily, Italian authorities, including border police, detained for investigation of people smuggling five Egyptians who were among 674 survivors aboard an overcrowded fishing boat that was aided last week off southern Italy, the Italian news agency ANSA said Monday. Rescuers found five bodies aboard the fishing boat. Those who died suffered from dehydration and excessive heat, ANSA said.
The suspects were being investigated in the Sicilian port of Messina for allegedly facilitating illegal migration and death as result of another crime, ANSA said. Many of the rescued migrants were transferred Sunday to Messina.
Some survivors told authorities that the smugglers beat them with clubs and belts during the sea voyage and sharply rationed drinking water on the boat, ANSA said.
In all, Italian authorities and charity ships reported rescuing over 1,100 people in the Mediterranean Sea last weekend.

TEXAS, USA — Texas received 14,780 doses of the monkeypox vaccine JYNNEOS on Monday. Of them, Austin Public Health reported that it has requested 5,000.
The shipment from the federal Strategic National Stockpile is anticipated to be the last such delivery until August or September due to the vaccine's scarcity.
Roughly 5,100 doses immediately went to Dallas County Health and Human Services because the area has the greatest amount of confirmed monkeypox cases in the state. The Texas Department of State Health Services will distribute the remaining vaccine doses "to local health departments and DSHS regional offices to vaccinate people with a documented or presumed exposure to the monkeypox virus," a release from the department said.
A separate roughly 5,000 dose shipment from the Strategic National Stockpile went to Houston County and Harris County.
The monkeypox virus is now community spread in Austin-Travis County. The illness can be characterized by a blister- or pimple-like rash as well as headache, exhaustion and swollen lymph nodes.
The virus spreads through close contact with bodily fluids, scabs and rashes as well as infected items.

Some lucky drivers in the Bay State are now stopping at gas stations selling regular for less than $4 a gallon, as pump prices keep falling across the region.
Massachusetts’ average gas price on Monday was down 11 cents from last week, now averaging $4.52 per gallon.
It’s the third straight week that regular gas prices have dropped 11 cents week over week, as prices have come significantly down from the record-high average of $5.04 a gallon in mid-June.
“We are now seeing some gas stations with prices below $4 a gallon,” AAA Northeast’s Mark Schieldrop told the Herald on Monday. “Right now, prices are on the decline and that is certainly good news.
“It seems like we’re going to keep heading in this direction for awhile,” he added.
Gas prices had skyrocketed following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Many countries including the U.S. banned oil from Russia after the invasion.
Now, the steady decline in prices is largely due to low domestic demand for gasoline and oil prices that remain in the mid-$90s per barrel. Inventories have been rising as well.
“We’re seeing demand continue to be the main driving force of lower gas prices,” Schieldrop said, noting that it was the third lowest week of demand in July since 2000.
There are continuing signs of an economic slowdown coming, which would help slash gas prices more and more.
“If the economy slows down, it would certainly lead to prices going lower,” Schieldrop said. “People are thinking about saving and being more careful with spending, so we don’t see much in the short-term to cause a surge in demand.”
A $4 average for Massachusetts by the end of the summer is “not outside the realm of possibility,” he said.
“We could get down to $4 in a month,” Schieldrop added.

Following Saturday’s white supremacist demonstration at a LGBTQ-friendly children’s event, the latest in a series of hate groups’ escalating activities, prosecutors are beginning to re-fortify civil rights defenses.
The descent of NSC-131 members on a public drag queen story hour for children and families in Jamaica Plain was “at once a disgrace and a warning,” District Attorney Kevin Hayden said over the weekend.
Hayden announced a response Monday morning. The High-Risk Victims Unit will expand to the Civil Rights/High-Risk Victims Unit and gain two new prosecutors for civil rights cases, according to a release from the DA’s office.
The move, the release stated, “is designed to better coordinate and prosecute felony and misdemeanor civil rights and hate crime cases.”
The office will continue to protect free speech “up until the point it turns into threats or violence,” Hayden said.
The leader of the white supremacist group NSC-131, Christopher Hood, is facing a misdemeanor charge of affray for an altercation at Saturday’s demonstration.
Hayden cited a troubling escalation of white supremacist activity in the area, listing recent reports of hate literature distribution in Danvers, Hamilton, Ipswich and Chatham; the neo-Nazi protest at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in February; the NSC-131 gathering at a St. Patrick’s Day parade in March; the Patriot Front march in downtown Boston on July 2; and homophobic graffiti and death threats at an LGBTQ-friendly housing project in Hyde Park in mid-July.
An Anti-Defamation League report in March found Massachusetts had the fourth-highest level of hate propaganda activity in the nation in 2021, the DA’s office noted.
Hayden also warned the upcoming congressional and 2024 presidential elections may stoke further escalation of this type.
Rachael Rollins, United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts, called for community members to notify law enforcement about any concerns regarding white supremacist activity. Her office will announce a “dedicated number for the community to call in the coming weeks,” Rollins tweeted.
“When we see inequity and harm, we look the culprit in their eyes and demand that it stops,” she wrote. “If it doesn’t, we use every means at our disposal — legislatively, through the courts, and with community organizing — to end it. And that is exactly what’s going to happen here.”
Mayor Michelle Wu also said the city is taking “a zero tolerance approach to any groups looking to intimidate or harass residents in our city” over the weekend. | https://www.bostonherald.com/2022/07/25/white-supremacist-escalation-prompts-da-response/ | 2022-07-25T23:31:18Z | https://www.bostonherald.com/2022/07/25/white-supremacist-escalation-prompts-da-response/ | true |

Here's everything Marvel announced at Comic-Con
Chicago - Welcome to The Mulitverse Saga!
San Diego Comic-Con returned to in-person festivities for the first time in three years this weekend. And while some studios took a "less is more" approach with their big Hall H presentations, Marvel Studios went all-out for the event. The studio’s star-studded Saturday evening presentation from head honcho Kevin Feige included not only some splashy new trailers, but also major announcements about new phases, new "Avengers" team-up movies and Marvel content stretching all the way into 2025. Here are the highlights of what Marvel has in store for the future.

Phase Four comes to a close sooner than expected
The buzzy Comic-Con event couldn’t have come at a better time, as Marvel has been facing some grumblings lately that the studio has lost its way following the massive climatic team-up movie "Avengers: Endgame" in 2019. Along with the second Tom Holland "Spider-Man" movie later that year, "Endgame" marked the end of Marvel’s wildly successful Phase Three slate of movies and put a cap on the "Infinity Saga" that defined the studio’s first decade of superhero filmmaking. Since then things have felt a bit, well, scattered.

While Feige explained that Phase Four has been about "resetting the MCU [and] meeting all these amazing new characters," some fans have struggled to find a satisfying throughline in movies like "Black Widow," "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings," "Eternals," "Spider-Man: No Way Home," "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" and "Thor: Love and Thunder," especially when paired with promising but uneven Disney+ TV shows like "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier," "Moon Knight," "WandaVision," "Loki," and "Ms. Marvel."
Perhaps that’s why Feige swiftly clarified that Phase Four will wrap up later this year with two previously announced projects: The Disney+ TV show "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law" and the highly anticipated sequel, "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," which capped off Marvel’s presentation by debuting a stellar, highly emotional teaser trailer.

Phase Five features 12 new films and TV shows
After clarifying Phase Four’s end date, Feige then wowed the crowd by releasing the entirety of Marvel’s Phase Five slate. And while many of these projects had been previously announced — including "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3," the "Captain Marvel" sequel "The Marvels," the Samuel L. Jackson-led Disney+ series "Secret Invasion" and season two of "Loki" — others came as more of a surprise.
Phase Five will include the highly-anticipated arrival of Mahershala Ali’s "Blade" film in November 2023 (Ali’s casting was announced way back at 2019’s Comic-Con), as well as a brand-new "Daredevil" show — with Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio reprising their roles from the popular Marvel Netflix series. "Daredevil: Born Again" will be a whopping 18 episodes long and finally clarify how the Marvel Netflix shows fit into the current MCU canon. (Having previously made a cameo appearance in "Spider-Man: No Way Home," Cox is slated to appear in "She-Hulk" next month too.)

Phase Five will also include three female-led TV shows: "Echo" centers on "Hawkeye" antagonist Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox). "Agatha: Coven of Chaos" follows "WandaVision" breakout Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn). And "Ironheart"centers on genius inventor Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne), who will make her debut in "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever."

Phase Five will also see Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson make his official big screen debut as Captain America in "Captain America: New World Order." And the phase will end with a movie called "Thunderbolts," which will likely pay off the slow-burning thread of Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine recruiting a bunch of morally dubious super-powered people for a villainous team-up.
Phase Six caps off the "Multiverse Saga" in mega fashion
The announcements didn’t stop there, however, as Feige had one more surprise up his sleeve. Towards the end of the presentation, Feige also revealed a few titles from Marvel’s Phase Six slate, which will feature a "Fantastic Four" movie and end with two "Avengers" films in 2025: "Avengers: Kang Dynasty"and "Avengers: Secret Wars."

Feige also announced that Phases Four, Five and Six will encompass what Marvel has officially dubbed "The Multiverse Saga."
Comic book fans have plenty to chew on with these announcements: "Kang Dynasty" refers to Jonathan Majors’ new villain Kang the Conqueror, who will make his official big-screen debut in "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," following a previous multiversal cameo in the "Loki" season finale. Meanwhile, "Secret Wars" is a massive comic book storyline that involves a whole bunch of different superhero teams being pitted against one another, which could mean that Marvel still has some major announcements to come.

Indeed, Marvel noticeably left space for eight more projects in its Phase Six slate, many of which will likely be announced at Disney’s D23 Expo in September. That splashy fan event is another place where Marvel likes to make headlines, which in this case could involve "Fantastic Four" casting news, details about a potential "Young Avengers" project or even major news about the X-Men making their MCU debut.

(The Hill) – The Atlanta-area prosecutor who is probing the effort by former President Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election result in Georgia was disqualified by a judge Monday from criminally investigating one of the 16 Republicans who served on a phony slate of pro-Trump electors.
The ruling, a stunning rebuke to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, came after a judge found that a conflict of interest barred Willis and her office from investigating state Sen. Burt Jones, one of the sham electors.
The district attorney last month hosted a fundraiser for a Democratic candidate who went on to win his party’s nomination and will now face off against Jones, whom Willis had identified as a target of the grand jury’s investigation.
“This scenario creates a plain — and actual and untenable – conflict,” Judge Robert McBurney of the Superior Court of Fulton County wrote in his Monday order disqualifying Willis from pursuing Jones. “Any decision the District Attorney makes about Senator Jones in connection with the grand jury investigation is necessarily infected by it.”
“An investigation of this significance, garnering the public attention it necessarily does and touching so many political nerves in our society, cannot be burdened by legitimate doubts about the District Attorney’s motives,” he wrote.
The order Monday rejected similar disqualification requests from 11 other phony electors who were subpoenaed by Willis’s office, meaning the Fulton County District Attorney’s probe of those targets may continue, and the investigation of Jones is expected to be handed off to another prosecutor’s office.
Still, the development represented a significant unforced error by a prosecutor handling one the nation’s most sensitive and high-profile criminal investigations, one which poses perhaps the most significant legal threat to Trump as the former president eyes a 2024 bid for the White House.
The issue arose after Jones and 11 other pro-Trump electors filed a court motion to disqualify Willis, arguing in part that her role in hosting and headlining a mid-June fundraiser for Charlie Bailey, a Democratic candidate vying against Jones for lieutenant governor of Georgia, represented a conflict of interest.
Willis, in court papers, had urged the judge to reject Jones’s request to disqualify her. She argued that Bailey was still locked in a runoff with a fellow Democratic contender.
But McBurney was unpersuaded, noting that whoever won the runoff would go on to face Jones.
“Thus, the District Attorney pledged her name, likeness, and office to Bailey as her candidate of choice at a time when, if Bailey were successful (which he was), he would face Senator Jones,” he wrote. “This choice — which the District Attorney was within her rights as an elected official to make — has consequences.”
The Georgia investigation has intensified recently as Trump considers whether to launch a White House campaign as early this summer.
The grand jury recently issued subpoenas to several high-profile figures, including Trump allies Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, as well as conservative lawyers John Eastman, Jenna Ellis and Cleta Mitchell. Willis’s office recently informed 12 of the 16 Republicans who served as fake Trump electors that they could face criminal charges.
Georgia has figured prominently into investigations of Trump’s effort to overturn his defeat by President Biden. In the weeks after the election, a telephone recording shows, Trump told Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” the number of votes required to overturn Biden’s margin of victory, which Raffensperger refused to do. | https://www.yourbasin.com/news/national-news/atlanta-area-da-disqualified-from-investigating-fake-trump-elector/ | 2022-07-25T23:36:10Z | https://www.yourbasin.com/news/national-news/atlanta-area-da-disqualified-from-investigating-fake-trump-elector/ | false |
LOCKPORT, N.Y. (WIVB) — Niagara County has its first case of monkeypox.
The Niagara County Department of Health was notified by the NYS Wadsworth Center on Monday that the first case of Monkeypox in the county has been detected in a resident. The NCDOH has interviewed the individual and concluded that no additional contacts exist and that the risk to the general public is low.
Monkeypox is a viral infection that usually does not cause serious illness, but can lead to hospitalization or death. People with the infection generally report having close, sustained physical contact with people who have Monkeypox, many of which are men who have sex with other men, the health department said. But anyone who has been in close contact with someone infected can get it.
Less common routes of transmission include droplets from prolonged face-to-face contact or contact with contaminated materials such as clothing or bedding.
Symptoms of the infection include rash within one to three days after the onset of illness and flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, muscle aches and exhaustion.
An Erie County resident became the first Western New Yorker to test positive for monkeypox two weeks ago. Erie County is having a vaccine clinic this week.

WASHINGTON — An original script for Donald Trump’s speech the day after the Capitol insurrection included tough talk ordering the Justice Department to “ensure all lawbreakers are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law” and stating the rioters “do not represent me.” But those words were crossed out with thick black lines, apparently by Trump, according to exhibits released by House investigators.
Virginia Representative Elaine Luria, a Democratic member of the House panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack, tweeted out a short video Monday that included testimony from White House aides discussing Trump’s speech on Jan. 7 and a screenshot of the speech, with notes and with lines to be deleted. In one of the clips, Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, confirms to the panel the document “looks like a copy of a draft of the remarks for that day” and the writing “looks like my father’s handwriting.”

When the committee asked White House aide Jared Kushner, Ivanka’s husband, why Trump crossed out specific lines, he responded twice: “I don’t know.”
The panel released the 3:40-minute video as a follow-up to its final summer hearing last week, in which the investigators showed outtakes from Trump’s videotaping of the speech. In the outtakes, Trump becomes frustrated and discusses the wording with the staff present, including Ivanka. At one point, he tells them, “I don’t want to say the election is over.” Angry, he pounds his fist.
The committee is releasing the additional material in an effort to push out even more evidence after eight summer hearings laid out findings from more than 1,000 interviews in its yearlong investigation. Members of the committee say the investigation continues, and they will hold more hearings in the fall.
They are aiming to convey a consistent message about Trump and his actions before, during, and after the insurrection — that he repeatedly lied about widespread fraud, even against the advice of his closest aides, and sparked the violent actions of his supporters. And when the rioters broke into the Capitol, he did nothing to stop them.

In her Monday tweet, Luria said, “It took more than 24 hours for President Trump to address the nation again after his Rose Garden video on January 6th in which he affectionately told his followers to go home in peace. There were more things he was unwilling to say.”
The Jan. 7 speech was seen by his aides as an effort to make up for his inaction the day before when he waited hours to tell the rioters to leave the Capitol — and when he did, in a video filmed in the Rose Garden, he told the rioters that they were “very special.” In the video released by Luria, Trump aide Jared Kushner says he had spoken with other aides and they were trying to put remarks together for the president. “We felt like it was important to further call for de-escalation,” Kushner testified to the committee.
It is unclear who wrote the original text in the document.
In the original line, “I am outraged and sickened by the violence, lawlessness and mayhem” the word “sickened” is crossed out. So are the later lines, “I want to be very clear you do not represent me. You do not represent our movement.” But he left in, “You do not represent our country.” The line “you belong in jail” was replaced with “you will pay.”

These lines were also deleted: “I am directing the Department of Justice to ensure all lawbreakers are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We must send a clear message – not with mercy but with JUSTICE. Legal consequences must be swift and firm.”
In recent testimony, former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson — who also testified in person in a surprise hearing last month — said the scramble to get Trump to speak again on Jan. 7 was partly because of “large concern” within the White House that some of his Cabinet officials might try to invoke the constitutional process of the 25th Amendment to remove him from office.
The newly released video includes testimony from John McEntee, then the director of the White House presidential personnel office and one of Trump's closest aides at the time. McEntee says that Kushner asked him to “nudge this along” to make sure that Trump delivered the speech. McEntee confirmed that Trump was reluctant to give the speech.
Pat Cipollone, the top White House lawyer, also testified that he believed Trump should have forcefully laid out the consequences for the rioters.
“In my view, he needed to express very clearly” that the rioters “should be prosecuted, and should be arrested." | https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/07/25/nation/tough-words-trump-never-spoke-jan-6-panels-new-video/ | 2022-07-25T23:42:38Z | https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/07/25/nation/tough-words-trump-never-spoke-jan-6-panels-new-video/ | true |
David Ortiz already had seven major league seasons under his belt, including one promising year in Boston, by the time Terry Francona walked into the clubhouse in 2004 as the new manager.
The bullet points on what became a Hall of Fame resume hadn’t started forming yet. The personality big enough for billboards was still in its nascent stages. But Francona knew a star when he saw one.
“I think the biggest thing from my side of it was I knew David . . . before he was Big Papi,” said Francona, now the Guardians manager. “I don’t think I ever referred to him as Big Papi. He was always David. And that part of him is so special.

“You guys have been around and you’ve seen when somebody comes into a room, he can light that room up with that smile and his personality. Some guys come to Boston and kind of shrink. He kind of brought his personality out.”
In 14 years with the Red Sox, Ortiz won three World Series, went to 10 All-Star games, was named American League Championship Series MVP in 2004, led the American League in home runs in 2016, and won World Series MVP in 2013.
The more success he found, the more his legend grew. The ubiquity of Big Papi took Ortiz from Boston to Cooperstown. But the way Ortiz connected with people, Francona said, is what made him a lasting figure for one of baseball’s most storied franchises.
“The other stuff’s the easy stuff — the clutch hitting and everything,” Francona said. “I mean, that’s why he’s in the Hall of Fame. But, I mean, just the other stuff — the personality and his ability to make anybody feel welcome — is pretty special.”
Ortiz was enshrined Sunday in the Baseball Hall of Fame. He looked into the crowd and saw teammates spanning different eras, from Pedro Martinez to Johnny Damon to Kevin Youkilis to Jason Varitek to Mike Lowell.

As he ran through his list of thank yous, Ortiz said he was lucky to play for Francona. Between Francona and John Farrell, who was hired prior to the 2013 season, Ortiz said he had two managers who persistently built confidence.
“These guys did nothing but build my confidence, even throughout tough times,” Ortiz said. “I love you guys and I’m always gonna have you guys in my heart. Tito, wherever you are man, you know Papi’s got you. John as well.”
With the Guardians wrapping up the first leg of an 11-game road trip in Chicago on Sunday, then heading to Boston where they opened up a four-game set against the Sox on Monday, Francona wasn’t able to see much of the Hall of Fame proceedings. The Guardians were three games back of the Minnesota Twins in the AL Central when they arrived in Boston.
“I’ve got my hands full here,” Francona said.
The most he was able to catch were video clips as he hopped on an elevator. But Ortiz’s message got through.
“That’s part of our job is to help guys, wherever they’re at in their career — whether the top, the bottom, the middle,” Francona said. “He had some tough times here. He went through some tough stretches. We went through some tough stretches. But what matters is how you come through it. And I think when you do that you come through it stronger.”

When Francona learned the Sox will honor Ortiz during a pregame ceremony Tuesday night, his face lit up.
“I will enjoy that,” he said.
Asked if he could possibly get Ortiz to come of out his shell a bit, he quipped, “I’ll do my best.”

TOKYO, July 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Eisai Co. Ltd (Headquarters: Toyoko, CEO: Haruo Naito, "Eisai") announced today that the company will present research from its Alzheimer's disease (AD) pipeline, including new data for lecanemab (BAN2401), an investigational anti-amyloid beta (Aβ) protofibril antibody for the treatment of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild AD (collectively known as early AD) with confirmed presence of amyloid pathology in the brain, at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC) to be held in San Diego, CA and virtually from July 31 to August 4, 2022. Eisai will present data and research in three oral and 18 poster presentations at the meeting.
On July 5, 2022 (US), Eisai announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted the Biologics License Application (BLA) for lecanemab under the accelerated approval pathway and was granted priority review, with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of January 6, 2023. The readout of the primary endpoint data of Clarity AD will occur in the Fall of 2022. The FDA has agreed that the results of Clarity AD when completed, can serve as the confirmatory study to verify the clinical benefit of lecanemab.

[Notes to editors]
1. About Lecanemab (BAN2401)
Lecanemab is an investigational humanized monoclonal antibody for Alzheimer's disease (AD) that is the result of a strategic research alliance between Eisai and BioArctic. Lecanemab selectively binds to neutralize and eliminate soluble, toxic amyloid-beta (Aβ) aggregates (protofibrils) that are thought to contribute to the neurodegenerative process in AD. As such, lecanemab may have the potential to have an effect on disease pathology and to slow down the progression of the disease. Currently, lecanemab is being developed as the only anti- Aβ antibody that can be used for the treatment of early AD without the need for titration. With regard to the results from pre-specified analysis at 18 months of treatment with lecanemab 10 mg/kg IV biweekly, Study 201 demonstrated reduction of brain Aβ accumulation (P<0.0001) and slowing of disease progression measured by ADCOMS* (P<0.05) in early AD patients. The study did not achieve its primary outcome measure** at 12 months of treatment. The Study 201 open-label extension was initiated after completion of the Core period and a Gap period off treatment of 9-59 months (average of 24 months, n=180 from core study enrolled) to evaluate safety and efficacy, and is underway.
Currently, lecanemab is being studied in a confirmatory Phase 3 clinical study in symptomatic early AD (Clarity-AD), following the outcome of the Phase 2 clinical study (Study 201). Since July 2020 the Phase 3 clinical study (AHEAD 3-45) for individuals with preclinical AD, meaning they are clinically normal and have intermediate or elevated levels of amyloid in their brains, is ongoing. AHEAD 3-45 is conducted as a public-private partnership between the Alzheimer's Clinical Trial Consortium that provides the infrastructure for academic clinical trials in AD and related dementias in the U.S, funded by the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, Eisai and Biogen. Since January 2022, the Tau NexGen clinical study for Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer's disease (DIAD), that is conducted by Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network Trials Unit (DIAN-TU), led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, is ongoing and includes lecanemab as the backbone anti-amyloid therapy in combination with E2814 MTBR-tau antibody or placebo. Furthermore, Eisai has initiated a lecanemab subcutaneous dosing Phase 1 study.
* Developed by Eisai, ADCOMS (AD Composite Score) combines items from the ADAS-Cog (Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale), CDR (Clinical Dementia Rating) and the MMSE (Mini-Mental State Examination) scales to enable a sensitive detection of changes in clinical functions of early AD symptoms and changes in memory. The ADCOMS scale ranges from a score of 0.00 to 1.97, with higher score indicating greater impairment.
** An 80% or higher estimated probability of demonstrating 25% or greater slowing in clinical decline at 12 months treatment measured by ADCOMS from baseline compared to placebo.
2. About E2814
An investigational anti-microtubule binding region (MTBR) tau antibody, E2814 is being developed as a disease-modifying agent for tauopathies including sporadic AD. Phase I clinical studies are underway. E2814 was discovered as part of the research collaboration between Eisai and University College London. E2814 is designed to prevent the spreading of tau seeds within the brains of affected individuals. In addition, a Phase II/III Tau NexGen study for the treatment of dominantly inherited Alzheimer's disease (DIAD), conducted by the Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network Trials Unit (DIAN-TU) led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis (St. Louis, MO, USA), is underway.
3. About Elenbecestat
Elenbecestat is Eisai's in-house discovered and developed BACE (beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme) inhibitor. Phase 3 clinical studies (MISSION AD1, AD2) for elenbecestat aimed at early AD were discontinued in September 2019.
4. About E2511
E2511 is Eisai's in-house discovered and developed investigational novel molecule that directly binds to tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TrkA); a nerve growth factor (NGF) located on the neural cell membrane. E2511 could potentially promote recovery and synaptic remodeling of damaged cholinergic neurons. A Phase 1 study for E2511 is underway.
5. About the Collaboration between Eisai and Biogen for Alzheimer's Disease

A proposal to build a nonprofit community center on Manchester’s West Side has cleared its first hurdle, clearing the way for the site to be sold to developers, even as neighbors continue to voice concerns.
Aldermen determined it was in the best interest of the city to sell the land -- located at Parkside Avenue and Blucher Street, near Gossler Park Elementary School and Parkside Middle School -- for $600,000 to a group looking to build the proposed $17 million Mark Stebbins Community Center.
The land was deemed surplus on a voice vote, with only Ward 8 Alderman Ed Sapienza opposed. Ward 12’s Erin George-Kelly recused herself from voting due to a conflict of interest.
"This an imperfect location, but a perfect project for the West Side," said Alderman Joe Kelly Levasseur. "I hope you will be as gentle as possible and work with the neighbors."
The vote followed more than an hour of public comment on the issue, both in favor and opposed to the center.
“I strongly support this,” said school board vice chairman Jim O’Connell. “It seems to me that only in an alternative universe could you find a city of some 100,000 people, that is underfunded generally and lacks the ability to fund fully the requirements and increasing needs of its citizens, that would somehow look that gift horse in the mouth and find some convoluted set of rationales to find a way to refuse it. The need is great.”
Neighbors of the proposed center continue to express concerns about the project, a few weeks after dozens spoke out at a neighborhood meeting on the building -- expected to be between 30,000 and 40,000 square feet.
“That’s a huge building in a normally quiet neighborhood,” said Jill Thompson, whose family owns six properties at the end of Hevey Street. “Is this for anyone? Is it only for residents of the West Side? Could it end up hosting a homeless shelter or warming shelter? Could it end up hosting a needle exchange? These are all concerns the neighborhood has. The neighborhood isn’t embracing it right now.”
“What does community mean?” asked Carla Gericke. “In order for a ‘community center’ to be acceptable in a ‘community,’ surely the ‘community’ -- the literal people who live there -- should have a say. Why build a football field-sized building and parking lot in a quiet residential neighborhood, instead of closer to where the services are required?”
The center would be named after the late Mark Stebbins, CEO of the state’s largest architectural construction firm, who died in June 2021 at 67. Stebbins and his wife Sally are well-known for their support of nonprofits in the Granite State, including the Boys & Girls Club of Manchester, Granite United Way, Easterseals, Manchester YMCA, The Mental Health Center of Greater Manchester and Waypoint.
Mark Stebbins was chairman and CEO of Procon, a large construction firm in Hooksett. He also owned XSS Hotels, Stebbins Commercial Properties, Monarch Communities and Coolcore.
Supporters say the Mark Stebbins Community Center would bring services for children and families in a central, walkable and easily accessible location. Several service providers will be located together in the community center.
Once the location for the center is acquired and a needs analysis completed, organizers will begin the design process, determine the nonprofit agencies that will be located there and raise funds.
Organizers behind the project have publicly vowed to work closely with neighbors as part of the planning process. The group says it has sought feedback since planning started in November.
“It has always been our intention to work closely with the local community and address any issues, now and in the future. We appreciate the honest candor area residents have expressed publicly and we are committed to working through all the feedback we have received,” a statement from the group reads.
Organizers have promised “multiple avenues” for public and neighborhood input as they move forward with the planning, including workshops for programming, building and site design; creating a design review committee with representatives from the neighborhood, city, and those receiving services; and several opportunities for public input through meetings with city officials during the zoning and planning board process. | https://www.unionleader.com/news/human_interest/proposal-for-west-side-community-center-clears-first-hurdle/article_884c29cc-d5a2-5431-8883-5e72ea2f3fac.html | 2022-07-25T23:45:01Z | https://www.unionleader.com/news/human_interest/proposal-for-west-side-community-center-clears-first-hurdle/article_884c29cc-d5a2-5431-8883-5e72ea2f3fac.html | true |
Police: Stranger followed woman into home before sexually assaulting her
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow/Gray News) - Hawaiian authorities are searching for a suspect accused of following a woman into her home with a knife and sexually assaulting her.
According to Honolulu CrimeStoppers, the man followed the woman while walking home just before 10 p.m. Monday night. When entering her home, the man brandished his knife, restrained the woman and sexually assaulting her, according to Sgt. Chris Kim of Honolulu CrimeStoppers.
Surveillance video around 9:30 p.m. Monday night shows the 27-year-old woman walking toward her home while on her phone not knowing that someone is behind her.
As she exits out of frame, a man appears a few parked cars back, ducking behind cars to remain unseen. He can also be seen carrying his shoes.
The man is then seen running in the opposite direction 15 minutes later.
Police arrived at the location nine minutes afterwards.
Neighbor Stacie Rivera told HawaiiNewsNow the incident is concerning because the area is secluded.
“To think that that kind of thing could happen way up here is kind of scary,” she said.
Manoa resident Frank Richardson said a lot of the people that live in the area, walk around the neighborhood in the evenings, especially since the COVID pandemic happened.
“We get out to exercise, we walk the hills in the evenings and a lot of women walk around as well, so that’s concerning,” he said.
The suspect is described as between 5-foot-5 and 5-foot-9 and weighing roughly 140 to 150 pounds. He has light tan or olive skin and black, curly or frizzy hair that was tied up in a ponytail at the time.
He was also seen wearing a light-colored, short-sleeve shirt, dark pants, Adidas slides, a black surgical mask and was possibly wearing glasses.
The Honolulu Police Department advises people to be accompanied by others, especially during late night and early morning hours.
Women walking alone are urged to be aware of their surroundings and carry pepper spray.
“If you’re able to run away, kick, scream, shout, fight, whatever you need to do to get away, you know, please do so,” Kim said.
Anyone who has any information is asked to call CrimeStoppers at (808) 955-8300.

On the heels of a public health emergency declaration from the World Health Organization, epidemiologists and public health experts warn the U.S. is running out of time to contain a monkeypox outbreak that has infected nearly 3,000 Americans.
"We're losing daylight," UCLA epidemiologist Anne Rimoin, who has studied monkeypox for decades, told NPR. "Every day that we aren't continuing to push forward on all fronts, the less likely it is that we will be able to contain it."
U.S. officials have already expanded testing, made tens of thousands of vaccines available and made plans to release another 1.6 million doses in the coming months.
But the limited supplies have not matched demand, some health officials have reported. And despite limited testing, case numbers have grown so rapidly in recent weeks that a larger response may be necessary to contain the outbreak, experts say – if containment is still possible.
"It's going to be tough, but that needs to still be the goal," Dr. Preeti Malani, an infectious disease specialist at the University of Michigan, told NPR. "What we do in the coming days and weeks will really determine where we are a few months from now."
The U.S. is closing in on 3,000 cases of monkeypox
Over the weekend, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a public health emergency. Biden administration officials have said they are discussing whether to declare an emergency in the U.S.
The discussions represent a change of tone from the beginning of the outbreak in May. Then, there were only a handful of cases outside of Africa, where the disease is endemic, and health officials in the U.S. and around the world expressed confidence that the disease was containable.
As of Friday afternoon, the CDC had reported 2,891 cases of monkeypox in the U.S. – a number more than 10 times higher than a month ago.
The CDC had tests available before this outbreak began – a significant difference from COVID-19 – but experts have complained that the agency is testing cases at too slow a pace. The Biden administration began shipping tests to commercial laboratories in late June, with the expectation that testing capacity would be "ramped up" through the month of July.
"We are way behind in a lot of aspects, including rapid testing and access to treatment for those patients who might need treatment," Malani said.
More robust contact tracing, too, could help combat the virus.
"Ultimately, we cannot vaccinate and treat our way out of monkeypox," Malani said. "Prevention is critical."
Monkeypox has a long incubation period, she said. After an initial exposure, it can be weeks before symptoms develop. An early heads-up from a robust contact tracing effort could help people exposed to monkeypox isolate and seek tests or vaccines before symptoms appear.
The virus most often spreads through prolonged physical contact. It is not a sexually transmitted disease; it can spread through non-sexual physical contact, or by handling clothes or bedding used by an infected person. The disease can also spread via respiratory droplets.
Like in other Western countries, the outbreak in the U.S. has mostly affected men who have sex with other men. But the CDC has also reported infections in a small number of cisgender women. And on Friday, the agency announced the outbreak's first documented cases in children – a toddler in California and an infant whose family was traveling in Washington, D.C.
Lessons from COVID-19
The monkeypox outbreak arrived at a time when public awareness of infectious disease is high, experts pointed out. The COVID pandemic has made Americans familiar with public health concepts like isolation, rapid testing and contact tracing.
But other lessons from COVID have seemingly not stuck – like how early and how forcefully to take action when an outbreak is still constrained to a handful of people.
"I hate to say this, but I feel like 'here we go again,'" Rebecca Fischer, an infectious disease specialist at Texas A&M University, told NPR.
Researchers are quick to point out that the two diseases are very different. They belong to different families of virus and require different levels of contact to spread. Overall, COVID is more transmissible.
Many of COVID's lessons could be applied to any infectious disease, Fischer said.
"Public health thought that we had learned this great thing – that we need to respond aggressively up front, and with a lot of resources and a lot of attention up front, if we hope to curtail and contain," Fischer said. "And I get the sense that sort of aggressive upfront action didn't really happen."
Still, public health officials and epidemiologists alike say that containment could be within reach.
Unlike COVID, monkeypox was already a known quantity to researchers before the current outbreak. The disease was first discovered in humans more than 50 years ago, and its similarity to smallpox means smallpox treatments and vaccines are also effective against monkeypox. The U.S. has millions of doses already stockpiled.
"I absolutely think that it can be contained. But whether it will be depends upon the resources dedicated to doing this and the speed with which we can act," said Rimoin of UCLA. "It really will require a major concerted effort locally, nationally and globally."

First the bad news: Evidence presented by the Jan. 6 committee has shown how former President Donald Trump and his allies tried to manipulate current laws to disrupt the presidential election process.
Now some good news: There’s a serious effort underway in Congress to fix holes in one crucial statute to try and deter such an attempt from happening again.
At issue is the Electoral Count Act, a rickety antique passed in 1887 that governs the official counting of Electoral College votes and the naming of the president-elect. It’s poorly written and vague in important spots.
On Wednesday, a bipartisan group of senators proposed a package of new legislation to modernize the 135-year-old law.
The bills would tighten existing wording to help ensure that each state submits only one conclusive slate of Electoral College electors. No fake slates of self-designated “electors,” as Trump allies produced following the 2020 vote.
They would state that the role of the vice president is “solely ministerial” when counting electoral votes. That would write into direct language the conclusion that many electoral scholars – and former Vice President Mike Pence – have already reached.
The legislation would also make it more difficult for members of Congress to object to a state’s electors – and more difficult for state legislators to override their state’s popular vote.
Some experts don’t agree with everything the package proposes. They worry the fixes might close some holes and open new ones. The Jan. 6 committee has notably said it is considering its own Electoral Count Act reforms.
A compromise might well emerge here. For now, the existing effort is at least a “massive improvement” over the status quo, according to Matthew Seligman, a Yale Law School fellow who’s studied the issue for years.

Killeen police are investigating a 24-year-old woman's death after she "failed to yield the right of way" and was struck by a vehicle.
Around 1:39 p.m. on Friday officers were dispatched to the 1300 block of West Elms Road in reference to a crash.
"The preliminary investigation revealed that the pedestrian was standing on the eastbound sidewalk and failed to yield right of way to a motor vehicle that was traveling east in the outside lane when she stepped into the roadway," said police. "The pedestrian was immediately transported to the Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center in critical condition."
Police said no injuries were reported by the occupant of the vehicle. However, 24-year-old Eliana Leigh Shoemate succumbed to her injuries and pronounced deceased at 3:15 p.m.
"There are no pending criminal charges for this crash," said police. "Investigators with the Traffic Unit continue to investigate this fatality and there is no other information at this time." | https://www.kxxv.com/hometown/bell-county/killeen-police-investigating-24-year-old-womans-death-after-she-failed-to-yield-the-right-of-way | 2022-07-26T00:08:20Z | https://www.kxxv.com/hometown/bell-county/killeen-police-investigating-24-year-old-womans-death-after-she-failed-to-yield-the-right-of-way | true |
Co-defendant in Central Park jogger case is exonerated
NEW YORK (AP) — A co-defendant of the so-called Central Park Five, whose convictions in a notorious 1989 rape of a jogger were thrown out more than a decade later, had his conviction on a related charge overturned Monday.
Steven Lopez was exonerated in response to requests by both Lopez’s attorney and prosecutors at a court hearing in Manhattan.
Lopez was 15 when he was arrested along with five other Black and Latino teenagers in the rape and assault on Trisha Meili but reached a deal with prosecutors to plead guilty to the lesser charge that he and several others mugged a male jogger on the same night.
District Attorney Alvin Bragg told a judge Monday that a review of the case found that Lopez had pleaded guilty involuntarily “in the face of false statements” and under “immense external pressure.” He served more than three years behind bars before being released in the early 1990s.
Lopez, now 48, didn’t give a statement in court and left without speaking to reporters.
“Mr. Lopez is looking for privacy at this time,” said his lawyer, Eric Shapiro Renfroe.
During the hearing, the defense attorney told his client: “I believe what happened to you was a profound injustice and an American tragedy. ... I’m happy to be here today with DA Bragg so we can give you your name back.”
The brutal assault on Meili, a 28-year-old white investment banker who was in a coma for 12 days after the attack, was considered emblematic of New York City’s lawlessness in an era when the city recorded 2,000 murders a year.
Her assault happened on a night when several other people had been attacked in the park by groups of youths.
Five teenagers were convicted in the attack on Meili and served six to 13 years in prison. Their convictions were thrown out in 2002 after evidence linked a convicted serial rapist and murderer, Matias Reyes, to the attack. Reyes told investigators he alone had been responsible for Meili’s assault.
Prosecutors who reviewed the case had concluded the teenagers’ confessions, made after hours of interrogations, were deeply flawed.
“A comparison of the statements reveals troubling discrepancies,” they wrote in court papers at the time. “The accounts given by the five defendants differed from one another on the specific details of virtually every major aspect of the crime.”
Prosecutors said on Monday that statements implicating Lopez in the violence that night also were unreliable.
Other individuals who linked Lopez to the attacks on the male and female joggers later recanted their allegations in their civil depositions, prosecutors wrote in court papers. The male jogger never identified Lopez as one of the assailants, the papers add.
The Central Park Five, now sometimes known as the “Exonerated Five,” went on to win a $40 million settlement from the city and inspire books, movies and television shows.
Lopez has not received a settlement, and his case has been nearly forgotten in the years since he pleaded guilty to robbery in 1991 to avoid the more serious rape charge. His expected exoneration was first reported in The New York Times.
The Associated Press does not usually identify victims of sexual assault, but Meili went public in 2003 and published a book titled “I Am the Central Park Jogger.”

‘Goodfellas,’ ‘Law & Order’ actor Paul Sorvino dies at 83
NEW YORK (AP) — Paul Sorvino, an imposing actor who specialized in playing crooks and cops like Paulie Cicero in “Goodfellas” and the NYPD sergeant Phil Cerreta on “Law & Order,” has died. He was 83.
His publicist Roger Neal said he died Monday morning of natural causes at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. Sorvino had dealt with health issues over the past few years.
Mira Sorvino, his daughter, wrote a tribute on Twitter: “My father the great Paul Sorvino has passed. My heart is rent asunder- a life of love and joy and wisdom with him is over. He was the most wonderful father. I love him so much. I’m sending you love in the stars, Dad, as you ascend.”
“Our hearts are broken, there will never be another Paul Sorvino, he was the love of my life, and one of the greatest performers to ever grace the screen and stage,” his wife, Dee Dee Sorvino, said in a statement. She was by his side when he died.
In his over 50 years in the entertainment business, Sorvino was a mainstay in films and television, playing an Italian American communist in Warren Beatty’s “Reds,” Henry Kissinger in Oliver Stone’s “Nixon” and mob boss Eddie Valentine in “The Rocketeer.” He would often say that while he might be best known for playing gangsters, his real passions were poetry, painting and opera.
Born in Brooklyn in 1939 to a mother who taught piano and father who was a foreman in a robe factory, Sorvino was musically inclined from a young age and attended the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York where he fell for the theater. He made his Broadway debut in 1964 in “Bajour” and his film debut in Carl Reiner’s “Where’s Poppa?” in 1970.
With his 6-foot-4-inch stature, Sorvino made an impactful presence no matter the medium. In the 1970s, he acted alongside Al Pacino in “The Panic in Needle Park” and with James Caan in “The Gambler,” reteamed with Reiner in “Oh, God!” and was among the ensemble in William Friedkin’s bank robbery comedy “The Brink’s Job.” In John G. Avildsen’s “Rocky” follow-up “Slow Dancing in the Big City,” Sorvino got to play a romantic lead and use his dance training opposite professional ballerina Anne Ditchburn.
He was especially prolific in the 1990s, kicking off the decade playing Lips in Beatty’s “Dick Tracy” and Paul Cicero in Martin Scorsese’s “Goodfellas,” who was based on the real-life mobster Paul Vario, and 31 episodes on Dick Wolf’s “Law & Order.” He followed those with roles in “The Rocketeer,” “The Firm,” “Nixon,” which got him a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination, and Baz Luhrmann’s “Romeo + Juliet” as Juliet’s father, Fulgencio Capulet. Beatty would turn to Sorvino often, enlisting him again for his political satire “Bulworth,” which came out in 1998, and his 2016 Hollywood love letter “Rules Don’t Apply.” He also appeared in James Gray’s “The Immigrant.”
Sorvino had three children from his first marriage, including Academy Award-winning actor Mira Sorvino. He also directed and starred in a film written by his daughter Amanda Sorvino and featuring his son Michael Sorvino.
When he learned that Mira Sorvino had been among the women allegedly sexually harassed and blacklisted by Harvey Weinstein in the midst of the #MeToo reckoning, he told TMZ that if he had known, Weinstein, “Would not be walking. He’d be in a wheelchair.”
He was proud of his daughter and cried when she won the best supporting actress Oscar for “Mighty Aphrodite” in 1996. He told the Los Angeles Times that night that he didn’t have the words to express how he felt.
“They don’t exist in any language that I’ve ever heard — well, maybe Italian,” he said.
But he wanted to be seen for more than what he was on screen and took particular pride in his singing. In 1996, “Paul Sorvino: An Evening of Song” was broadcast on television as a part of a PBS fundraising campaign. Songs performed included “Torna A Sorriento,” “Guaglione,” “O Sole Mio,” “The Impossible Dream” and “Mama.”
“I’m a pop singer in the sense Mario Lanza was,” Sorvino said in an interview the Tampa Tribune. “It astonishes me that no American male singer sings with a full voice anymore. Where have all the tenors gone?”
The weight of his voice, he thought, made it difficult to train.
“It’s like trying to park a bus in a VW parking space,” he said.
He also ran a horse rescue in Pennsylvania, had a grocery store pasta sauce line based on his mother’s recipe, and sculpted a bronze statue of the late playwright Jason Miller that resides in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Sorvino had starred in Miller’s Tony- and Pulitzer-winning play “That Championship Season” on Broadway in 1972 and its film adaptation.
In 2014, he married political pundit Dee Dee Benkie and said that a goal of his later life was to “disabuse people of the notion that I’m a slow-moving, heavy-lidded thug.”
As with most who starred in “Goodfellas,” the image would follow him for the rest of his life which he had complex feelings about.
‘Most people think I’m either a gangster or a cop or something,” he said. “The reality is I’m a sculptor, a painter, a best-selling author, many, many things — a poet, an opera singer, but none of them is gangster.... It would be nice to have my legacy more than that of just tough guy.”

Some schools hit hard by COVID-19 make few changes for new year
(AP) - As a new school year approaches, COVID-19 infections are again on the rise, fueled by highly transmissible variants, filling families with dread. They fear the return of a pandemic scourge: outbreaks that sideline large numbers of teachers, close school buildings and force students back into remote learning.
Some school systems around the country have moved to bolster staffing to minimize disruptions, but many are hoping for the best without doing much else differently compared with last year.
Even some of the districts that had the most disruptions to in-person schooling amid the spread of the highly contagious omicron variant point to few specific changes in their prevention efforts.
Among them is Baltimore County schools, where the number of days that individual schools in the district couldn’t offer in-person learning added together totaled 159 in January, according to data from the private research firm Burbio, which tracks over 5,000 school districts nationwide. District officials said they did not see a need to change protocols.
“We don’t anticipate significant changes to our plan; we don’t anticipate significant disruptions,” said Charles Herndon, a Baltimore County Public Schools spokesperson. “What we’re expecting to see is waves of COVID in 2022 and 2023, and I’m sure there are going to be times when more folks are going to be absent and there will be times when everything is OK.”
Still, the district is prepared to move classes online if necessary.
“We certainly hope we don’t have to go to that extreme, but it is an option should we need to consider it,” he said.
Teacher shortages remain a major concern, even bigger than COVID-19 itself, said Dan Domenech, executive director of AASA, an association of school superintendents.
“That is the greater concern – that they will have the necessary staff to man all the classrooms, to man all the programs – which will only be made worse if there is an outbreak of COVID,” he said.
Philadelphia’s schools illustrate how disruptive surges can be. Beginning in January the virus caused 114 city schools to go remote for an average of around eight days each — a total of 920 cumulative days of remote learning, more than any other district in Burbio’s data for January through June.
Amid shortages of substitute teachers, schools were forced to pull in central office staff, combine classrooms, or temporarily go remote, district spokesperson Marissa Orbanek said.
The district has switched to a new staffing agency and aims to fill 90% of substitute requests this year, said Orbanek. They also now have over 100 supplemental teachers, substitutes who show up at the same school every day in case of last-minute absences.
One parent, James Fogarty, saw his elementary school age children go back to online learning several times last year in Pittsburgh, a district that saw 46 disruptions in the second half of last year. He hopes the district and communities can identify problems earlier and work on better solutions, like identifying backup options for families.
“How do we build systems that are flexible to meet the shocks when they happen other than just like saying to families, ‘Good luck, you’re on your own and I hope you don’t get fired because you have to miss your shift job,’” said Fogarty, the executive director of A+ Schools in Pittsburgh, an organization that promotes equity in schools. “That’s not a satisfying answer for me.”
Schools cannot afford more disruptions that distract them from the critical work of helping kids catch up, said Thomas Kane, an education policy researcher at Harvard. Students at lower-income schools that were doing remote learning for more than half a year lost the equivalent of 22 weeks of learning, he said, while higher-income schools lost 13 weeks.
“We’ve experienced a historic widening in achievement gaps between Blacks and whites, between Latinx students and whites, between high- and low-poverty schools,” he said. “If we don’t get active in trying to close those gaps, they’re going to become permanent and there will be huge consequences for kids.”
Schools are hopeful disruptions will be less likely as many districts have invested in better ventilation and vaccines are available to children as young as six months old. Besides ramping up hiring of substitutes, some of the districts that were hit hardest last year have been making small changes to their protocols.
At Baltimore City schools, which is separate from the county school system, officials say expanded access to rapid tests will help schools stay open if a new variant surges in the fall. The school previously relied on slower PCR tests, and when omicron cases spiked in January, the district’s testing regimen couldn’t keep up. The switch to a faster test helped the district avoid any schoolwide closures for the rest of the spring.
“We firmly believe that with the protocols we have in place that we’re going to be able to keep in-person learning going as the virus ebbs and flows and as new variants come — pending an unforeseen variant that really changes the game,” said Cleo Hirsch, director of the district’s COVID-19 response.
The school district in Montgomery County, Maryland, had 338 cumulative days of disrupted learning in January, the second-highest of all the districts in Burbio’s data. District spokesperson Christopher Cram said that was in part because of a policy that triggered hybrid or virtual learning automatically if the COVID case rate in a school rose to 5%. It is working on an updated safety plan for the new school year, he said.
In Columbus, Ohio, where the school system saw 106 disruptions due to staff absences at the start of 2022, the district did not point to any planned changes to its policies to prepare for potential surges in the new year. “As we look toward opening schools in August, the District will continue to follow its current mitigation protocols to help keep staff, students, and families safe,” spokesperson Jacqueline Bryant said.
Lolita Augenstein, president of the Council of PTAs in Columbus, said she’s optimistic that this year will be better. The district has focused on hiring teachers and substitutes, she said, and educators are better trained to teach online if needed.
“We may not have figured it all out, and there are new variants and there are new concerns that have popped up,” said Augenstein, whose daughter graduated from a district high school last school year. “But kids are resilient. ... The families are trained in going back and forth between remote and the building.”

Did the debate change these voters' minds?
By George Bowden
BBC News, Stoke-on-Trent
- Published
The two remaining candidates for Conservative Party leader - and prime minister - sparred over tax and earrings during a BBC debate on Monday.
What did audience members - made up of people who voted for the Tories in the last general election - make of it?
'Cost of living the big issue'
Sarah Lind is concerned about the cost of living. She's five months pregnant with two children at home - so came into the debate wondering what the candidates could offer her to ease the pain of price rises.
The trained economist says she knows the choices facing whoever enters No 10 in September are anything other than easy - but while she thinks she knows Rishi Sunak well, Liz Truss is something of an enigma.
"I didn't know a lot about Liz at all," she says.
"I wanted to hear from her and with Rishi I felt I know what I was getting."
Nonetheless, she's open minded about the two candidates - so which one stood out?
Verdict
After the debate, Sarah speaks about Ms Truss far more than Mr Sunak.
"It did change my mind yes," she says of the debate.
"I have a better understanding of Liz now."
The real and tangible benefits of the tax cuts promised by Ms Truss are a real driver for Sarah. She says she's already thinking about the implications they might have on her upcoming maternity leave.
"But then I agree we should be insulating our houses more," she adds.
The candidates' comments about outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson stuck with Sarah - she appreciated that neither tried to disown him, and Ms Truss resisted the opportunity to "stab him while he's down".
And Sarah loved Ms Truss's concession towards the end that she was not the most polished performer.
"It was a clever thing to say," she says.
"Rishi was very rehearsed."
'People want a decent wage'
Warehouse manager Brendan Turner says his main concern is the cost of living, too.
He's worried for colleagues on the minimum wage - who he says are struggling. In fact, it's not just those on the lowest pay - he says everyone is feeling the pinch.
"Stagnating pay is a big issue - I am seeing people struggle," he says.
Not only that, it's proving hard to recruit people, he says. "Everyone wants a decent wage."
As for both candidates - neither stand out to him yet.
Verdict
So with tax one of the key battlegrounds of the debate - what's Brendan's verdict? He says Rishi Sunak was definitely the "smoother... sharper" performer and he thinks Liz Truss "struggled to hold her own".
That said, he notes how Mr Sunak talked over his rival at times. So how would this go down in Brendan's house?
"It could be seen as confident or rude," he says, diplomatically.
He says Mr Sunak had "compelling arguments" on the cost of living and tax.
But there's no really clear winner for him - and it remains to be seen if either would get his vote in a general election, he says.
'NHS backlog my main concern'
Krystian Belicki is a trainee NHS mental health therapist, and says he and his partner, a teacher, are worried about the cost-of-living crisis and the prospect of below-inflation pay increases.
He also mentions the rising NHS backlog - especially in his mental health specialism.
While Rishi Sunak is more familiar, Krystian says he is keen to hear more from Liz Truss directly.
Aside from all the political issues, he is also interested in their character - after Boris Johnson's tumultuous time in office.
"I want to see what they have to say - I'm open minded," the 24-year-old says.
Verdict
Once out of the debate hall, Krystian says he and his partner have decided to put off having children due to the cost of living crisis.
The difficult decision was made in light of worsening economic forecasts - so what did the candidates have to offer?
He feels Rishi Sunak was the most "compelling" candidate.
He repeats Mr Sunak's analogy of putting the cost of tax cuts onto the nation's "credit card" - an attack used against Liz Truss - word-for-word. But in terms of concrete solutions - there were few he could mention.
Ms Truss, meanwhile, "made good arguments", but Krystian notes it was Mr Sunak who came to say hello to the audience before the debate.
'It's all about maturity'
Benji Rea spoke before the debate of the maturity required by any successful candidate for Conservative leader. He said he thought the contest thus far had been akin to "playground insult hurling".
The 22-year-old Staffordshire University student and party member said: "I am waiting for someone to grow up, take it on the chin and say what they want to do with the party. Whatever happens - and whoever does this first - is where my vote will go."
"For me - the maturity of the candidates is important. When I looked at Boris Johnson I saw a party leader, I saw a leader and a man who can win a general election. I want to make sure my vote has the best chance of winning a tough election."
Benji admitted to being "quite on the fence" ahead of the BBC debate, adding: "I am very open to seeing how the debates go and seeing what they deliver."
Verdict
Reflecting afterwards on the performance of both Mr Sunak and Ms Truss, Benji says: "Overall, the debate felt significantly more mature, despite Mr Sunak being quick to interrupt Ms Truss, and serves as an excellent starting point for a long summer of campaigning.
"It's given me a lot to think about and research myself and has really painted both candidates in a good light for the leadership race ahead."
But despite the strong performances, he says he has yet to decide which candidate to back. Who might it be?
Whichever candidate "steps up and demonstrates their potential to lead this party through a turbulent and unprecedented future," he says. | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-62255957 | 2022-07-26T00:13:25Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-62255957 | false |
OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — Two of the four suspected cases in Douglas County have been confirmed as monkeypox. But health officials say the transmission of this virus is not like COVID-19.
"We really do deem that the risk to the public remains pretty low risk. We are not expecting to see something blow up like COVID did, necessarily," said Dr. Lindsay Huse, the Douglas County Health director.
The disease appears as a rash and could be accompanied by flu-like symptoms.
"We are not talking just a general red rash, but something that actually looks like blisters or pustules or pimples, and those can occur anywhere on the body that have been exposed," Huse said.
But how does it spread?
"What we are seeing right now is a lot of transmission that's occurring through sexual contact," she said.
But that is not the only way to get it.
"Certainly we are seeing this in populations where sexual contact have been the primary mode of transmission, but again any time you are in skin-to-skin contact with somebody who has this rash, this virus, that risk is there," Huse said.
Other ways include contact with linens or clothing that may have been in contact with the virus.
Monkeypox has been around for years. Dr. Sara Bares with Nebraska Medicine feels optimistic about their ability to treat the disease.
"We have scientists who have been studying, known about monkeypox for many many years and so we have a wealth of information and tools to help us both prevent and treat the disease," Bares said.
These tools include testing and a vaccine.
"This vaccine is not just effective in preventing monkeypox, but it actually can be given after an exposure," Bares said.
The Health Department said the vaccine is in short support and they are prioritizing individuals with known exposure and those believed to be in high-risk situations, right now.
If you believe you have been in contact with someone who has monkeypox or you are experiencing symptoms, contact your doctor.

TAPACHULA, Mexico (AP) — A new group of about 2,000 migrants set out walking Monday in southern Mexico with the goal of reaching the United States.
The group started out from the city of Tapachula, near the border with Guatemala, where thousands of migrants have been stranded and frustrated by slow paperwork at overcrowded Mexican immigration offices.
“It is tough, but we'll keep on going in hopes they'll let us through," said Nicaraguan migrant Moisés Chinchilla, who like most hopes to get a temporary residence permit.
Recent marches, made up mostly of entire families, have managed to advance only about 45 kilometers (28 miles) to the town of Huixtla, where Mexican officials have succeeded in dispersing the groups by giving out the permits.
The permits allow the migrants, mostly Venezuelans and Central Americans, to stay on Mexican territory for up 30 days while they pursue immigration procedures.
While many migrants try to use the permits to give them time to reach the U.S. border, many are sent back to the south by Mexican officials.
Many object to the Mexican strategy of keeping them in the south, away from the U.S. border. They say the process of normalizing their status — usually through applying for asylum — takes too long and they can’t provide for themselves while waiting weeks in Tapachula because jobs are scarce. | https://www.mrt.com/news/article/New-group-of-2-000-migrants-sets-off-in-southern-17328387.php | 2022-07-26T00:16:00Z | https://www.mrt.com/news/article/New-group-of-2-000-migrants-sets-off-in-southern-17328387.php | false |
Highly potent weed creating marijuana addicts worldwide, study says
By Sandee LaMotte, CNN
Higher concentrations of tetrahydrocannabinol or THC — the part of the marijuana plant that makes you high — are causing more people to become addicted in many parts of the world, a new review of studies found.
Compared with people who use lower-potency products (typically 5 to 10 milligrams per gram of THC), those who use higher-potency cannabis are more likely to experience addiction and mental health outcomes, according to the study published Monday in the journal Lancet Psychiatry.
Scientists have established a “standard THC unit” of 5 milligrams of THC for research. That amount is said to produce a mild intoxication for nonregular users.
“One of the highest quality studies included in our publication found that use of high potency cannabis, compared to low potency cannabis, was linked to a four-fold increased risk of addiction,” said study coauthor Tom Freeman, a senior lecturer in the department of psychology and director of the addiction and mental health group at the University of Bath in the United Kingdom, in an email.
In the United States, about 3 in 10 people who use marijuana have cannabis use disorder, the medical term for marijuana addiction, according to the US Centers for Disease and Prevention.
The European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction found a 76% rise in people entering treatment for cannabis addiction over the past decade, “while cannabis potency continued to rise during the same time,” Freeman said.
In addition, “a report by the United Nations found that in the past two decades, the proportion of people seeking treatment for cannabis addiction has risen in all world regions apart from Africa,” he said.
A yearly rise in potency
In a gram of herbal cannabis, the dried and harvested tops of female marijuana plants that are typically smoked, THC concentrations increased by approximately 2.9 milligrams each year, according to a 2020 study by Freeman and his team at the University of Bath.
In cannabis resin, the sticky brown sap on the plant from which extracts and concentrations are made, THC levels increased by approximately 5.7 milligrams each year from 1975 to 2017, the study found. Concentrated products can reach extremely high levels of THC.
This yearly rise in potency may not be clear to consumers, experts fear. While looking at a product label might tell a person the “precise potency” of THC in a store where marijuana is legally sold, “people buying cannabis illegally may not be able to access reliable information about the potency of the product they are using,” Freeman said.
“However, certain types of cannabis are typically more potent than others — cannabis extracts are typically more potent than cannabis flower,” he added.
While people do try to adjust their consumption when the potency of their cannabis varies, “such as by adding less cannabis to their joint or inhaling less deeply,” these efforts fail to completely work, Freeman said. That means “higher potency products still deliver a larger dose of THC to consumers than lower potency products,” he said.
Mental health affected
As marijuana became more potent, cases of marijuana-associated psychosis rose, the review found. Psychosis is a “loss of contact with reality” that can be characterized by hearing voices and having delusions, Freeman said.
“The evidence linking cannabis potency to addiction and psychosis was very clear,” he said.
High-potency weed users appear to have a significant increase in the likelihood of developing generalized anxiety disorder than those who smoke less robust strains of marijuana, a 2020 study had found.
However, the new review of studies found a “more varied” connection between the increase in marijuana potency and depression and anxiety, “meaning that the impact is unclear for these other mental health outcomes,” Freeman said.

EXPLAINER: What’s behind efforts to decertify 2020 election?
By SCOTT BAUER
Associated Press
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A year and a half after Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration, Donald Trump is still pushing for decertifying Biden’s win, particularly in Wisconsin.
One of the loudest advocates in the battleground state, a Republican state lawmaker who is running for governor, wants the Legislature to rescind Biden’s 10 Electoral College votes from Wisconsin. The resolution on decertification that he hopes to submit in August claims, despite the evidence, that there was widespread fraud in the election. He said he is not seeking to undo victories by anyone else in 2020, including his own race.
Legal experts, including Republican attorneys, say there is no legal means to decertify the past election and no evidence to support such action.
Nevertheless, decertification continues to be a rallying cry among many Republicans in Wisconsin and elsewhere. Here’s a look at what’s happening.
___
IS DECERTIFICATION POSSIBLE?
Trump continues to make baseless claims about widespread fraud in the 2020 election, even though dozens of lawsuits have failed and multiple reviews, recounts and audits have upheld Biden’s win.
Trump’s latest effort to reverse his loss is focused on Wisconsin, where Biden beat him by about 21,000 votes. The Wisconsin Supreme Court, in a 4-3 ruling this month, said absentee ballot drop boxes are illegal. Those are secure containers that absentee voters can use, usually set up at such locations as government buildings. An Associated Press survey of state election officials nationwide showed that an expanded use of drop boxes due to the coronavirus pandemic did not lead to any widespread problems, including in Wisconsin.
Trump and his supporters argue the recent state Supreme Court ruling means ballots cast in drop boxes in Wisconsin in 2020 were invalid.
“When the ballot drop boxes were used illegally, anything and all things that went into them made them null and void the moment they went into the box,” said Wisconsin state Rep. Tim Ramthun, a candidate for governor, when arguing for his resolution to decertify the election.
Not true, said law professor Rick Hasen, director of the Safeguarding Democracy Project at the UCLA Law School. The court ruling does not apply retroactively, and even if it somehow did, there is no mechanism in the Constitution for decertifying an election after Electoral College ballots have been certified, he said.
“The whole theory is ludicrous,” Hasen said. “Even accepting the idea that the use of most drop boxes was illegal in 2020, that would do nothing to call into question the validity of the votes that were cast through drop boxes. There’s been no indication whatsoever that drop boxes were used to facilitate any amount of fraud.”
Edward B. Foley, a law professor who heads The Ohio State University’s election law center, said the claims don’t seem serious from a legal perspective.
“The presidential election is the one where it’s most clear that decertification is impossible,” Foley said. “Once a president is inaugurated, impeachment is the only way to remove the incumbent president from office.”
___
WHAT DOES TRUMP SAY?
Trump has argued that it would have been impossible for other Republicans to win in 2020 and for him to lose.
“People that thought they were going to lose races, they won races — Republicans,” Trump told The Associated Press in a telephone interview last December. “And they say the only reason they won is because I was at the top of the ticket. I brought people in like they’ve never seen before, and they won a race that they didn’t think they were going to win.”
Earlier this month, he posted on social media and targeted Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, a Republican who is not in favor of decertification. Trump posted that the court’s ruling meant it was “time to act!”
“Robin, don’t let the voters of Wisconsin down!” Trump wrote.
Trump then personally pushed for it in a phone call with Vos.
“He would like us to do something different in Wisconsin,” Vos told WISN-TV about the conversation. “I explained it’s not allowed under the Constitution. He has a different opinion.”
___
WHAT ABOUT ALL THE OTHER RACES?
Trump and his supporters pushing for decertification are not trying to overturn the results of any other races on the 2020 ballot, including scores of them won by Republicans.
Drop boxes also were used in the 2016 election, which Trump won. But no one is calling for those results to be overturned. When asked why, Ramthun, the state lawmaker pushing for decertification, said, “That’s an interesting question.”
He said he wanted to wait and see what happened with his resolution to undo the 2020 election. The two other Republican candidates running for governor are not calling for decertification.
When asked why he is pushing to decertify only the presidential results and not every other race that was on the 2020 ballot, Ramthun said that was the only statewide contest that year and because the Electoral College applies only to the presidential race.
Foley, the Ohio State law professor, said he was reluctant to even discuss Ramthun’s argument because it was so ridiculous.
“That’s obviously not logical or theoretically consistent,” he said. “If there’s something wrong with a ballot that’s put in a drop box, it affects everything on the ballot.”
There are strict rules and timelines for how and when to bring challenges, and that time has long passed, Foley said.
An Associated Press review in 2021 of all cases of potential voter fraud in the six battleground states where Trump disputed his loss found just 31 cases in Wisconsin, representing about 0.15% of Biden’s margin of victory in the state. To date, 24 people have been charged with election fraud-related crimes stemming from the 2020 election in Wisconsin.
___
WHAT ARE OTHER REPUBLICANS SAYING?
Wisconsin is not the only place where prominent Republicans are calling for decertification.
In Arizona last week, Republican secretary of state candidate and state Rep. Mark Finchem tweeted “TRUMP WON.” He called for decertifying results in two counties won by Biden and a third that Trump won but where a man was convicted for illegally collecting four ballots early in the 2020 primary.
Another Republican, Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers, testified at a June meeting of the congressional Jan. 6 committee about phone calls from Trump and his allies asking him to decertify Arizona’s legitimate electors and replace them. He made no such effort. Bowers said he repeatedly asked Trump’s attorneys to show evidence of widespread fraud, but they never provided any.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger also rejected Trump’s call to “find 11,780” votes that could flip the state to prevent Biden’s victory. Georgia House Speaker David Ralston said in January 2021 that a week after the election Republicans lawmakers there had been discussing fraud and the possibility of a “redo.” And I said, ‘Well I’ll tell you one race you’re not going to redo, and that’s mine.”
He also noted that Georgia’s election results had been subject to three counts, an audit and at least six lawsuits that had all been dismissed: “Which kind of begs the question: Well, if there were in fact significant wrongdoing, would it not have been disclosed?”

Did the January 6 committee prove its case? A point-by-point breakdown of its major claims and the evidence presented
By Sam Woodward, CNN
On Thursday, the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol concluded its first series of hearings where it heard from witnesses including top ex-Trump officials, election workers, those who took part in the attack, and many others.
Through live testimony, video depositions, and never-before-seen material, the committee attempted to paint the picture of the former President‘s plan to stay in power and the role he played on January 6.
Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) used her opening statement during the first hearing in June to lay out the panel’s agenda. Here are some of the key points Cheney said the committee would explore in the hearings and what they’ve uncovered so far. The panel plans to reconvene for more hearings in September.
“President Trump summoned the mob, assembled the mob and lit the flame of this attack.”
During the seventh hearing, the committee presented new information about the “unhinged” Oval Office meeting that took place Dec. 18, 2020, after which then-President Donald Trump tweeted what Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) called an “explosive invitation,” calling supporters to come to DC on January 6. During his speech that day, Trump told the crowd to “march” to the Capitol and that they needed to “fight like hell.” The calls to action followed weeks of Trump making false claims about the results of the election.
Watch the video presented by the panel showing how supporters reacted to his plea.
During the seventh hearing, Stephen Ayres, a rioter who pleaded guilty to unlawfully entering the Capitol on Jan. 6, testified that he had no intention of even going to the building until hearing Trump’s speech at the Ellipse.
“Well, basically, you know, the President got everybody riled up and told everybody to head on down,” said Ayres, who has lost his home and his job. “So we basically was just following what he said.”
“While the violence was underway, President Trump failed to take immediate action to stop the violence and instruct his supporters to leave the Capitol.”
The committee used its final hearing of the series to detail the 187 minutes former President Trump refused to act while the Capitol was under attack, despite learning about the assault just minutes after he returned to the White House.
Witnesses testified to Trump’s over three-hour-long disregard for the safety of his own vice president, responding officers and the joint session of Congress, despite watching the violence unfold on Fox and receiving numerous pleas from aides and Republican allies to call off the mob.
And according to previously unseen video testimony played during Thursday’s hearing, Trump did not place a single call to any of his law enforcement or national security officials as the riot was unfolding.
“You will see that Donald Trump and his advisers knew that he had, in fact, lost the election…President Trump corruptly pressured state legislators and election officials to change election results.”
The committee showed the then-President and his team continued to press false election claims even after they were presented with findings that their conspiracies did not have merit.
Multiple former Trump advisers testified to the committee that they tried to tell the then-President that there was no credible evidence of significant voter fraud and refused to go along with his plan to overturn the election.
The panel used the fourth hearing to detail the private and public effects that Trump’s pressure campaign had on election officials. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, told the committee he and his family faced threats he believed were attempts to make him quit over his unwillingness to participate in overturning the election.
During the third hearing, the committee highlighted how Trump attorney John Eastman knew his plan to try to block the election would fail if it went to the Supreme Court — yet the right-wing attorney continued to fuel Trump’s hope.

“President Trump engaged in a massive effort to spread false and fraudulent information … and invested millions of dollars of campaign funds purposely spreading false information…”
During the second hearing, the committee presented multiple conspiracy theories pushed by Trump’s advisers to convince state legislators to help him overturn the election.
Some theories included accusing Dominion Voting Systems of changing Trump votes to Biden votes in large numbers, a truckload of ballots being shipped from New York to Pennsylvania, and Georgia election workers scanning tens of thousands of ballots for Biden that came from a suitcase. (All of these claims have been debunked.)
CNN’s Fredreka Schouten wrote during the second hearing that roughly $250 million that was raised after the election largely went to the former President’s political action committee, rather than to the “election integrity” effort touted to his donors, the committee said.
“You will see that President Trump corruptly planned to replace the Attorney General of the United States so the U.S. Justice Department would spread his false stolen election claims.”
During the fifth hearing, the panel described a January 2021 meeting where the then-President considered replacing acting Attorney General Jefferey Rosen with Jeffrey Clark, a top Justice Department official who became a proponent of Trump’s false election fraud claims.
Rosen, who replaced Bill Barr after he resigned in December 2020, investigated claims of voter fraud and, after finding nothing that would change the outcome, refused to use the powers of the Justice Department to help Trump overturn the election. Rosen testified to the committee that when he entered the Jan. 3, 2021, meeting, Trump said “you don’t even agree with the claims of election fraud, and this other guy at least might do something,” Rosen testified, referring to Trump considering installing Clark.
Richard Donoghue, Rosen’s deputy, testified that while undergoing the presidential transition, he and another top Justice Department official were told by the then-President that they should “just say that the election was corrupt and leave the rest to [him] and the Republican congressmen.”
“…we will focus on President Trump’s efforts to pressure Vice President Mike Pence to refuse to count electoral votes on January 6th…in private and in public.”
During a speech at the Ellipse on January 6, Trump called upon then-Vice President Mike Pence to “do the right thing” by declaring the electoral votes of battleground states illegitimate and sending them back to their state government to be re-certified by Republican officials to vote in favor of Trump.
Trump was told repeatedly by advisers that his plan for Pence to overturn the election on January 6 was illegal, but he tried to do it anyway, and the committee showed video of Capitol rioters expressing anger at Pence for not fulfilling Trump’s wish.
The committee also learned through testimony from former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson that she heard her boss, Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows, say that Trump seemed to agree with the suggestion from some rioters, caught on tape that day, that Pence should be hanged.
“I remember (White House Counsel) Pat (Cipollone) saying something to the effect of, ‘Mark, we need to do something more, they’re literally calling for the vice president to be f—ing hung,'” she told the panel. “And Mark had responded something to the effect of, ‘You heard it, Pat, he thinks Mike deserves it, he doesn’t think they’re doing anything wrong.'”
On Thursday, the committee showed just how dire the security situation during the riot became for Pence, and one White House security official testified that members of Pence’s security detail started saying their goodbye to their loved ones.

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: As a BBC clip posted on royal social media is blocked over copyright, shouldn't the corporation be holding out some olive branches following the Princess Diana Panorama interview scandal?
A clip posted on royal social media at the weekend from a 2016 BBC documentary showing the Queen feeding her horses has been suddenly taken down and replaced with the message: ‘This video contains content from BBC Studios, who has blocked it on copyright grounds.’ With Princess Diana’s Panorama interview continuing to blight relations with Buckingham Palace, shouldn’t Auntie be holding out some olive branches?

Brain Of Britain inquisitor Russell Davies dismisses suggestions that Rishi Sunak, Liz Truss and other Tory leadership candidates should have been asked to answer some of the fiendishly difficult questions from the Radio 4 show to see which should become PM. ‘That would be pointless,’ he tells Radio Times. ‘Literally pointless in some cases. Some of them were having trouble enough performing at all, let alone answering questions that are deliberately made to be slightly out of the way.’
Barry Humphries’s disclosure that his late father-in-law, poet Stephen Spender, never missed an episode of Neighbours recalls the joy Kingsley Amis experienced as a Coronation Street addict, particularly the romantic rollercoaster of Bill Roache’s relationship with Anne Kirkbride.

BERLIN (AP) — Russian energy giant Gazprom said Monday that it would further reduce natural gas flows through a major pipeline to Europe to 20% of capacity, citing equipment repairs. The move ramps up fears that Russia may cut off gas as political leverage over the war in Ukraine just as Europe tries to shore up storage for winter.
The Russian state-owned company tweeted that it would reduce “the daily throughput” of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline to Germany to 33 million cubic meters as of Wednesday, saying it was shutting down a turbine for repairs. The head of Germany’s network regulator, Klaus Mueller, confirmed that the flow was expected to be cut in half.
Deliveries were at 40% of capacity after Nord Stream 1 reopened last week following 10 days of scheduled maintenance. The German government said it rejected the notion that technical reasons would lead to further gas reductions.
Russian President Vladimir “Putin is playing a perfidious game,” German Economy Minister Robert Habeck told news agency dpa. “He is trying to weaken the great support for Ukraine and drive a wedge into our society. To do this, he stirs up uncertainty and drives up prices. We are countering this with unity and concentrated action.”
Natural gas is used to keep industry humming, generate electricity and heat homes in the winter, and concerns are rising about a possible recession if Europe does not save enough gas and rationing is required to get through the cold months. Energy prices have been soaring for months — spiking again after Gazprom’s announcement — fueling inflation that is squeezing people’s spending power.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called Russia’s cuts in gas deliveries “a form of terror.”
In his nightly video address, Zelenskyy accused Moscow of “waging an overt gas war” against European countries, likening Gazprom’s latest steps to Russia’s blockade of Ukraine’s Black Sea ports and its occupation of parts of his country’s south and east.
“All this is done by Russia deliberately to make it as difficult as possible for Europeans to prepare for winter,” Zelenskyy said. “They don’t care what will happen to the people, how they will suffer — from hunger due to the blocking of ports or from winter cold and poverty … Or from occupation.”
The new reduction should not be a surprise, said Simone Tagliapietra, an energy expert at Bruegel think tank in Brussels.
“Russia is playing a strategic game here. Fluctuating already low flows is better than a full cut-off, as it manipulates the market and optimizes geopolitical impact,” he said.
Russia has cut off or reduced natural gas to a dozen European Union countries. The goal is to use less gas now to build storage for winter, with the EU proposing member states voluntarily cut their use by 15% over the coming months. It’s also seeking the power to impose mandatory cuts across the 27-nation bloc if there’s a risk of a severe gas shortage or very high demand.
But Spain and Portugal said they will reject mandatory cuts, pointing to few energy connections with the rest of Europe and use of Russian gas that’s far below countries like Germany and Italy. Diplomats were scrambling to find a solution that ensured EU unity ahead of an emergency meeting Tuesday.
Gazprom’s new reduction “should increase pressure on EU energy ministers to deliver a sensible deal,” Tagliapietra said. “Action on this cannot be delayed any more.”
Russia recently has accounted for about a third of Germany’s gas supplies. The government said last week that the drop in gas flows confirmed that Germany can’t rely on Russian deliveries, announcing that it would step up its gas storage requirements and take further measures to conserve supplies.
Gazprom raised questions earlier Monday about the return of a second turbine that has been at the center of Nord Stream 1 tensions, saying it wasn’t satisfied with documents it has received.
Gazprom initially reduced the gas flow through the pipeline by 60% in mid-June, alleging technical problems involving the part that partner Siemens Energy sent to Canada for overhaul and couldn’t be returned because of sanctions.
Canada subsequently allowed the turbine for a compressor station at the pipeline’s Russian end to be delivered to Germany, which is where the German government said it was last week.
The Russian energy company asserted that issues regarding EU and British sanctions “remain unresolved for Gazprom,” though that was important for delivering the turbine “and performing urgent major repair of other turbine engines” for the same compressor station. Later, the company tweeted it was “shutting down one more gas turbine engine produced by Siemens” Energy.
Germany says all sides have been informed that the original part isn’t subject to EU sanctions. Siemens Energy said turbine maintenance is a routine measure, and over the past 10 years, there have been “no significant complications,” dpa reported.
The company said the transport of the turbine has been prepared and could start immediately and that it had told Gazprom it had all the necessary documents at the beginning of last week.
“What is missing, however, are required customs documents for import to Russia,” Siemens Energy said in a statement, adding that this information could only be provided by the customer.

NEW YORK (AP) — A former U.S. congressman from Indiana, technology company executives, a man training to be an FBI agent, and an investment banker were among nine people charged in four separate and unrelated insider trading schemes revealed on Monday with the unsealing of indictments in New York City.
It was one of the most significant attacks by law enforcement on insider trading in a decade, and a prosecutor and other federal officials pledged fresh enthusiasm for similar prosecutions in the future. They said the cheating resulted in millions of dollars of illegal profits for defendants situated on both coasts and in middle America.
Stephen Buyer was accused in court papers of engaging in insider trading during the $26.5 billion merger of T-Mobile and Sprint, announced in April 2018. An indictment identified him as someone who misappropriated secrets he learned as a consultant to make $350,000 illegally.
Buyer, 63, of Noblesville, Indiana, was arrested Monday in his home state. He served on committees with oversight over the telecommunications industry while a Republican congressman from 1993 through 2011.
He was described as making purchases of Sprint securities in March 2018 just a day after attending a golf outing with a T-Mobile executive who told him about the company’s then-nonpublic plan to acquire Sprint, according to a civil case brought against Buyer by the Securities and Exchange Commission in a federal court in Manhattan.
Authorities said he also engaged in illegal trading in 2019 ahead of Navigant Consulting Inc.’s acquisition by consulting and advisory firm Guidehouse. Documents said he leveraged his work as a consultant and lobbyist to make illegal profits.
His lawyer, Andrew Goldstein, said in a statement: “Congressman Buyer is innocent. His stock trades were lawful. He looks forward to being quickly vindicated.”
U.S. Attorney Damian Williams told a news conference that the cases, in addition to several other recently announced crackdowns on insider trading, represent a follow-through on his pledge to be “relentless in rooting out crime in our financial markets.”
“We have zero tolerance, zero tolerance for cheating in our markets,” said Gurbir S. Grewal, director of the SEC Enforcement Division.
“When insiders like Buyer — an attorney, a former prosecutor, and a retired Congressman — monetize their access to material, nonpublic information, as alleged in this case, they not only violate the federal securities laws, but also undermine public trust and confidence in the fairness of our markets,” Grewal said.
In a second prosecution, three executives at Silicon Valley technology companies were charged with trading on inside information about corporate mergers that one of them learned about from his employer.
An indictment accused Amit Bhardwaj, 49, of San Ramon, California, who was the chief information security officer of Lumentum Holdings Inc., of using secrets to trade illegally and then giving the information to criminal associates, including four friends. The SEC said Bhardwaj and his friends generated more than $5.2 million in illicit profits by trading ahead of two corporate acquisition announcements.
A lawyer for Bhardwaj did not immediately return messages seeking comment.
In a third case, Seth Markin, of Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania — a man who was training to be an FBI agent — allegedly stole inside information from his then-girlfriend who was working at a major Washington D.C. law firm. According to court papers, he and a friend made more than $1.4 million in illegal profits after he learned that Merck & Co. was going to acquire Pandion Therapeutics. It was unclear who would represent Markin in court.
In a fourth indictment, an investment banker based in New York was charged with sharing secrets about potential mergers with another person, on the understanding that the pair would share illegal profits of about $280,000.
Authorities said seven of the nine defendants were arrested Monday while two were arrested previously. | https://www.kron4.com/news/national/ap-us-news/ex-us-congressman-among-9-charged-in-insider-trading-cases/ | 2022-07-26T00:40:57Z | https://www.kron4.com/news/national/ap-us-news/ex-us-congressman-among-9-charged-in-insider-trading-cases/ | true |
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Thousands of people arguing the abortion issue surrounded the Indiana Statehouse and filled its corridors Monday as state lawmakers began consideration of a Republican proposal to ban nearly all abortions in the state and Vice President Kamala Harris denounced the effort during a meeting with Democratic legislators.
Harris said during a trip to Indianapolis that the abortion ban proposal reflects a health care crisis in the country. Despite the bill’s abortion ban language, anti-abortion activists lined up before a legislative committee to argue that the bill wasn’t strict enough and lacked enforcement teeth.
Indiana is one of the first Republican-run state legislatures to debate tighter abortion laws following the U.S. Supreme Court decision last month overturning Roe v. Wade. The Supreme Court ruling is expected to lead to abortion bans in roughly half the states.
“Maybe some people need to actually learn how a woman’s body works,” Harris said Monday, eliciting murmurs and laughs from the Democratic legislators. “The parameters that are being proposed mean that for the vast majority of women, by the time she realizes she is pregnant, she will effectively be prohibited from having access to reproductive health care that will allow her to choose what happens to her body.”
Confrontations erupted periodically between anti-abortion and abortion-rights demonstrators around the Indiana Statehouse. One person carrying a message on cardboard — “Forced Birth Is Violence” — followed a man, who carried a fake red fetus in a plastic bag over his shoulder, and tried to obscure his sign that read “Save Our Babies.”
Some people had virulent arguments encircled by other demonstrators
“You think you should dictate my life and my kids’ lives. That’s what you’re saying,” Kait Schultz, who wore a dark gray “Pregnant and Pissed” shirt, shouted to Christopher Monaghan.
“You don’t want to have a conversation,” Monaghan replied as they spoke over each other. He held a vertical sign that read “Babies Lives Matter.”
Elsewhere Monday, Lawmakers in West Virginia’s Republican majority hurried to advance legislation that would criminalize abortion with few exceptions. A bill introduced Monday makes providing an abortion a felony carrying up to 10 years in prison. It provides exceptions only in cases where there is an ectopic pregnancy, a “nonmedically viable fetus” or a medical emergency.
West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice abruptly added state abortion law to the state’s Legislature’s agenda for a special session he called for Monday to focus on his income tax cut plan.
In his announcement, Justice asked legislators to “clarify and modernize” the state abortion laws in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling. A week ago, a Charleston judge blocked enforcement of the state’s 150-year-old abortion ban, saying the recent laws enacted by the West Virginia Legislature “hopelessly conflict with the criminal abortion ban.”
In Tennessee, meanwhile, the attorney general’s office said it’s still unknown when the state’s anti-abortion “trigger ban” will go into effect, but some state lawmakers are raising alarm that the ban has no exceptions for victims of rape or incest.
Tennessee has been limiting abortion as early as six weeks into pregnancy — when most women don’t know they’re pregnant — ever since the U.S. Supreme Court’s abortion decision last month. Republican Gov. Bill Lee refused last week to answer questions from reporters on he supported tweaking the trigger law, particularly sidestepping on whether he supported exempting children who were raped and then became pregnant.
In Wyoming, a lawsuit filed Monday by a Casper women’s health clinic and others seeks to block the state’s new abortion ban just before it’s scheduled to take effect. The lawsuit claims the new law violates the state constitution with restrictions that will discourage potentially lifesaving pregnancy healthcare in Wyoming, forcing pregnant women to go to other states for necessary procedures.
Indiana’s Republican Senate leaders proposed a bill last week that would prohibit abortions from the time an egg is implanted in a woman’s uterus with limited exceptions — in cases of rape, incest and to protect the life of the mother. The proposal followed the political firestorm over a 10-year-old rape victim who traveled to the state from neighboring Ohio to end her pregnancy.
“She is a baby,” Democratic Rep. Cherrish Pryor of Indianapolis, one of the lawmakers at the meeting with Harris, said of the child. “Why should we force babies to have babies?”
The case of the Ohio girl gained wide attention when an Indianapolis doctor said the child had to go to Indiana because Ohio banned abortions at the first detectable “fetal heartbeat” after the Supreme Court’s abortion decision.
The ultimate fate of the Indiana abortion bill in the Republican-dominated Legislature is uncertain, as leaders of Indiana Right to Life, the state’s most prominent anti-abortion group, are decrying the Senate proposal as weak and lacking enforcement provisions.
Republican Senate leaders said the bill would not add new criminal penalties against doctors involved with abortions, but they would face possibly having their medical licenses revoked for breaking the law.
Numerous anti-abortion activists argued against including the exceptions allowing abortions in cases of rape and incest.
“I don’t believe children should be murdered based on their circumstance of conception,” Emma Duell of Noblesville told the Senate committee. “What happened the night they were conceived, something they have no control over should not affect whether they are protected from abortion violence or not.”
Republican Sen. Sue Glick, the abortion ban bill’s sponsor, said she expected amendments would be considered tightening the exceptions before the Senate’s anticipated vote on the proposal later this week.
Representatives of several physician groups raised concerns about the Indiana proposal possibly being questioned and prosecuted over their medical decisions.
Ariel Ream of Indianapolis said she was undergoing fertility treatments and worried that the abortion ban could leave her health threatened if she were to have a miscarriage and face bleeding.
“When am I hemorrhaging enough to be able to get care?” Ream said. “We don’t know if you go to the ER that doctor’s going to be scared enough to put their license on the line for me.”

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — A conservative-backed initiative to publish voter registration records from across the country online for public consumption can move forward over the objections of New Mexico election regulators, a federal judge has ordered in a preliminary opinion.
Albuquerque-based U.S. District Court Judge James Browning issued an order last Friday preventing New Mexico state prosecutors from pursuing allegations of possible election code violations against the creators of VoteRef.com.
The VoteRef.com website provides searchable access to voter registration records by name and street addresses, often indicating when people voted in past elections.
The online records do not say for which candidates the people voted or how they voted on initatives. Party affiliation is listed for voters in some states but not all.
The Voter Reference Foundation that created the website advocates for voting accountability by making voter information more accessible to the public.
Following the ruling, the foundation said it would post New Mexico voter rolls online starting Tuesday.
The decision doesn't apply to New Mexico voters enrolled in a confidential address program aimed at protecting victims of domestic violence and stalking.
New Mexico election regulators contend that the effort violates state restrictions on the purchase and dissemination of voter registration records — and is likely to discourage voter participation because people may opt out if they know that some of their voting information is being made public.
New Mexico Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver, a Democrat, in March referred the matter the attorney general’s office for possible prosecution of the Voter Reference Foundation, which published New Mexico registration records online at the time after obtaining them through an out-of-state business. State law restricts the use of voter registration information to political campaigning and election- or government-related activities.
The foundation — backed by former GOP Senate candidate Doug Truax of Illinois — took its New Mexico records offline in response and sued the state in federal court, alleging violations of due process and free speech guarantees.
The judge's order blocks prosecution while the case advances toward trial and said that the Voter Reference Foundation is likely to prevail in its claim as the victim of viewpoint discrimination by election regulators. Browning said New Mexico state law “does not prohibit Voter Reference — or any organization — from posting voter data online.”
The creators of VoteRef.com are “substantially likely to succeed on the merits of their claim that the Secretary of State’s referral of Voter Reference to the Attorney General for criminal prosecution and her public statements about the referral are an unconstitutional prior restraint on protected speech,” Browning said.
Truax, founder of the Restoration of America organization that funds VoteRef.com, said his group "won’t be intimidated by politicians who, for some reason, don’t want to give the people of their state easy access to election records they pay for.” He is an advocate for limiting voting access largely to in-person voting on Election Day with photo ID requirements and no same-day registration.
VoteRef.com already publishes voter registration information online from at least 28 states and Washington D.C.
Toulouse Oliver spokesman Alex Curtas called the judge's opinion a “blow to protecting the privacy rights of every New Mexican voter.”
“The fear now is that voters will be less likely to participate in our elections because their voting information — name, residential address, party affiliation, voting history, and year of birth -– will be made easily available online for anyone to obtain and potentially manipulate,” Curtas said.
Some New Mexico neighborhoods this year have been the focus of door-to-door canvassing by volunteers for a group called New Mexico Audit Force that promotes unproven conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.
The door knocking — ostensibly to verify individual voter registrations at peoples' homes — has generated voter intimidation concerns and counterclaims of threats against canvassers. | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/US-judge-OKs-online-publication-of-New-Mexico-17328409.php | 2022-07-26T00:47:46Z | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/US-judge-OKs-online-publication-of-New-Mexico-17328409.php | true |
DALLAS (AP) — A 37-year-old woman fired several gunshots, apparently at the ceiling, inside of Dallas’ Love Field Airport on Monday before an officer shot and wounded her, authorities said.
The woman was dropped off at the airport at about 11 a.m., walked inside near the ticketing counters and entered a bathroom, Dallas police Chief Eddie Garcia said at a news conference. She emerged wearing a hooded sweatshirt or some other clothing that she hadn’t arrived in, pulled a gun and fired several shots, apparently at the ceiling, he said.
“At this point, we don’t know where exactly the individual was aiming,” Garcia said.
An officer nearby shot the woman in her “lower extremities,” wounding her and enabling her to be taken into custody, Garcia said. She was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
“No other individuals were injured in this event other than the suspect,” Garcia said.
Police later identified the woman as Portia Odufuwa, 37, and did not speculate as to her motive.
“We wanted to ensure that our community knows that this is not an active situation,” the chief said.
Karen Warner told The Dallas Morning News that she was checking in for her flight when she heard a loud argument about 20 feet (6 meters) behind her, followed by a gunshot. Then she started running.
“I heard about 10 more shots while I was running away,” said Warner, who couldn’t discern what the argument was about.
Love Field, which is one of the Dallas-Fort Worth area’s two major airports, suspended airport operations after the shooting but said at around 3:45 p.m. that they had resumed. The Federal Aviation Administration held up flights for a couple of hours while police investigated, but flights were cleared to resume around mid-afternoon.
A spokesman for Southwest Airlines, which uses Love Field as a hub, said the airline canceled most of its flights that were scheduled to depart or arrive at Love Field before 6 p.m. CDT. Southwest canceled 85 flights at Love Field on Monday, according to the flight tracking website FlightAware.
The shooting wasn’t the first violent incident at the airport.
In 2016, a police officer shot and wounded a man outside of Love Field after police said he advanced toward the officer with large landscaping rocks in his hands after battering his ex-girlfriend’s car with a traffic cone and rocks as she dropped him off at the airport. | https://www.kron4.com/top-stories/ap-top-headlines/police-woman-opened-fire-in-dallas-airport-cop-shot-her/ | 2022-07-26T00:49:27Z | https://www.kron4.com/top-stories/ap-top-headlines/police-woman-opened-fire-in-dallas-airport-cop-shot-her/ | false |
KYIV (AP) — The appeal of Ukraine’s first war crimes conviction was adjourned on Monday, as prosecutors keep pushing to hold Russia legally accountable for atrocities even as fighting rages in the south and east of the country.
Thin and subdued, Vadim Shishimarin, a 21-year-old captured Russian soldier who pleaded guilty to killing a civilian and was sentenced in May by a Ukrainian court to life in prison, sat in a glass box in the courtroom as he faced news cameras. The hearing was postponed until July 29 due to his lawyer’s ill health.
Around Ukraine’s capitol region, where Russian forces pulled out four months ago, much of the work of documenting crime scenes and interviewing witnesses has been done. Now a new, more difficult phase in the search for accountability is underway: Finding those responsible.
“While conducting searches in the previously occupied region, we regularly find documents, passports and lists with names of participants of the units, with their complete data, including sites of birth and dates of births,” Andrii Nebytov, head of the Kyiv regional police, told The Associated Press. “All of this information is being transferred to the relevant law enforcement. The investigators are working with the victims, trying to identify the people who committed crimes against them.”
Shishimarin’s case is unusual in that Ukrainian authorities quickly found evidence to link him with the shooting of a 62-year-old man in the northeastern Sumy region on Feb. 28. That’s not the case for most war crimes cases now under investigation.
Ukrainian prosecutors have registered over 20,100 potential war crimes, and police in the Kyiv region have exhumed more than 1,300 bodies.
But as of July, prosecutors in Ukraine have only been able to identify 127 suspects, according to the prosecutor general’s office. Fifteen of them are currently in Ukraine as prisoners of war while the rest remain at large. Those suspects include three accused of sexual violence and 64 accused of willful killing or ill-treatment of civilians.
Shishimarin is one of 10 people to face war crimes trials so far in Ukraine, in cases involving indiscriminate shelling, wilful killing, sexual violence, robbery, ill-treatment of civilians and attacks on civilian objects. Six have been convicted, according to the prosecutor general’s office.

The speed of justice in Ukraine has been unusual. War crimes prosecutions are rarely conducted during an ongoing conflict.
Ukraine’s top prosecutors have long argued for speedy trials — in part to meet a seething public hunger for justice — even as they work to maintain judicial standards that will satisfy domestic watchdogs and allies in the U.S. and Europe.
The prosecutor general behind this effort, Iryna Venediktova, was dismissed last week along with the former chief of Ukraine’s SBU security service, Ivan Bakanov, for reportedly not doing enough to tackle “collaborators and traitors” in their departments. Her replacement is expected to be announced shortly.
Even as the hunt for war crimes perpetrators intensifies, the daunting work of documenting atrocities continues.
Victims of chaos and carnage in the early weeks of war in Ukraine were buried haphazardly. All those bodies had to be dug up for forensic examination. Kyiv regional police have exhumed 1,346 bodies, but more than 300 people are still missing, according to Nebytov.
“Concerning the exhumations, I am sure that we are far from finishing it,” he said in an interview Thursday. “This week we found a man who was executed with his hands tied behind his back and a hat over his head. The expert says that during the execution the man was on his knees.”
More than half of the victims police have found so far were shot dead; 38 of them were children. Kyiv police have found 13 mass graves in the region.
Nebytov said he has documented a litany of horrors: babies shot dead as their families tried to escape in civilian convoys, a man kidnapped as he gathered wood to make a fire and executed, civilians taken in for interrogation by Russian forces whose bodies were found with hands and eyes bound with tape, shot in the knees and shot in the head.
“With the intelligence at my disposal, I can say that there’s no specific military strategy in sight. It is not a military strategy but rather terror,” he said. “It is a concentration of evil, violence and cruelty.”
Ruslan Kravchenko, chief regional prosecutor in Bucha, which lies just north of Ukraine’s capitol, told the AP that he has sent over 2,000 cases to Ukraine’s security services for further investigation and that new cases continue to come in every day – now, mostly for property damage.
Bucha, once a desirable, leafy town outside Kyiv, has become a symbol of the carnage of the war started by Russia in February. Kravchenko said of the 327 murder victims in Bucha his office has documented, just three were soldiers and one was a policeman.
“I have never seen so many bodies,” said Kravchenko, who worked in Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014, and the Donbas, where Russia-backed separatists have been fighting the Ukrainian government since 2014, before moving onto Bucha. “I can see only one pattern: Where Russians saw civilians, they shot them immediately without explanation.”

Could a wealth tax help California fight climate change? Newsom and state Democrats disagree.
A schism has emerged in the California Democratic party over a wealth tax that would channel billions of dollars into greenhouse gas reduction mechanisms.
Prop 30, which will be on the November ballot, has support from the state Democratic party, seven Democratic state senators and 16 Democratic assemblymembers. So far, its main opposition has been from the state Republican party and the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, a group dedicated to stopping state tax increases.
But now, Prop 30 has a new foe: the Governor.
Gov. Gavin Newsom and the California Teachers’ Association jointly announced their opposition over the weekend. Newsom called the prop “a special interest carve-out” developed by a corporation for its own benefit. He’s referring to Lyft, the rideshare company which has put more than $8 million in contributions and loans into the campaign, according to July filings from Clean Air California, a committee supporting the proposition
“California’s tax revenues are famously volatile, and this measure would make our state’s finances more unstable — all so that special interests can benefit,” the Governor said. “Prop. 30 is fiscally irresponsible and puts the profits of a single corporation ahead of the welfare of the entire state.”
The proposition would impose a 1.75% income tax on Californians who make more than $2 million a year. The revenue would go toward subsidies and infrastructure for zero-emission vehicles, as well as wildfire prevention.
Advocates for the measure pushed back Monday. In a statement, Yes on 30 said that climate change is “devastating California,” and that the recent failure of federal climate legislation increases urgency on the state level to act.
“The Yes on 30 campaign is disappointed that Governor Newsom would side with the California Republican Party and billionaires to oppose a measure to fight climate change and reduce wildfires,” it said.
The CTA said that Prop 30 forces taxpayers to pay in place of large corporations.
“Prop. 30’s narrowly focused tax increase puts a special interest lock box on income taxes that traditionally would fund transitional kindergarten, public schools, community colleges, healthcare, public safety, and other priorities,” CTA President E. Toby Boyd added.
While it will not receive any direct subsidy, Lyft has several reasons to pour millions into the initiative. For one, it would provide rebates to drivers who purchase electric cars, making such a purchase more cost-effective and in the company’s best interest. Also looming over Lyft and Uber: the companies must make sure 90% of the miles logged by its drivers are in electric vehicles by 2030. Prop 30 could help meet this goal more quickly.
Lyft did not respond to a request for comment Monday afternoon.
Gov. Newsom has yet to weigh in on most of the initiatives. He’s split from Democrats several times recently: in the budget negotiations process, the governor remained at odds with Legislature Democrats for weeks over how best to provide Californians with inflation relief. He’s also taken recent events, including mass shootings and the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, as an opportunity to argue that many Democrats aren’t doing enough to confront issues facing the country. | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/could-wealth-tax-help-california-001717255.html?src=rss | 2022-07-26T00:50:05Z | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/could-wealth-tax-help-california-001717255.html?src=rss | true |

Most leaders are problem solvers.
They’re used to putting out fires and quickly finding solutions to keep things moving. But in their quest to get things done, those same well-intended folks often miss important opportunities to strengthen their leadership skills by letting others step up.
The finest leaders understand that just because they can solve a team member’s issue doesn’t mean they need to — or should. As a leader, your time is best spent on high-level, strategic needle-movers, not every problem that appears in your orbit. But if you continually model that you’re the only one allowed to tackle issues, your team will always defer to you before taking action. That can slow things down unnecessarily and leave them feeling like they may not be qualified enough to solve things independently, stunting both business progress and professional growth.
In contrast, the leaders who offer support and empower their people better connect and communicate with them, build trust, and help them become more confident in their decision-making and problem-solving abilities.
The next time you feel the need to rush in to fix things, pause and use this easy-to-remember acronym to get R.E.A.L. instead:
R
‘R’ is for respect, as in you should respect the professionals you hired for their roles. They are the ones most familiar with the daily ins and outs of their job functions, so it follows that they also have the capacity to handle any issues that may arise. Your people are the best experts on the subject matter they oversee, so remind them that you trust in their knowledge and wisdom.
E
‘E’ is for empathy, which is feeling things with someone, seeing things through their lens, and understanding why they have those feelings. It differs from sympathy, which involves understanding things from your perspective, which can be relatively narrow and completely colored by your individual experience.
For instance, if one of your direct reports is having trouble or feeling uncertain about taking action, try to step back and put yourself in their shoes. Employing empathy demonstrates your support and encouragement, which fosters empowerment and confidence.
A
‘A’ is for active collaboration. As tempting as it may be for you to make a decision or solve a problem independently, resist the urge and instead work with your team member to find a solution. As an analogy, walk alongside them during their journey rather than walking ten steps ahead of them. Partnering with them shows that you’re willing to help but still empowers them to take the lead.
L
‘L’ is for listening. Even though your people are likely bright and resourceful, they still feel moments of uncertainty and need reassurance, especially when tasked with making a large or difficult decision. Active listening (read: impossible to do when multi-tasking) is one of the best ways to demonstrate your support. Also, be sure to use your time listening to understand their concerns and perspective rather than formulate a response.
Though simple, the get R.E.A.L. method isn’t always easy. Here are a few strategies to help you maximize it:
Paraphrase with a question
If one of your team members shares concerns, repeat back to them what they said as a question. This subtly reinforces that you’re actively listening and helps clarify that you understand what they’re feeling. Plus, it encourages them to explain things further if you missed any pertinent details.
Ask open-ended questions
Rather than ask yes or no questions, which shuts down communication, ask open-ended questions to spur conversation and further dialogue. Talking things through is often the exercise that helps others feel more confident in their choices and find solutions on their own.
Affirm strengths
No matter how accomplished or successful we are, we all suffer from imposter syndrome at times. As a leader, you can help your people combat this by reminding them that they’re creative, talented, and resilient and have successfully made difficult decisions and solved complex problems before.
Help connect to resources
Sometimes, the best thing you can do is be a liaison. By connecting your people to others who can assist them or highlighting helpful materials to review, you can fast track their progress, supporting and empowering them along the way.
Remember, the best leaders create other leaders. And by letting go of the need to singlehandedly solve your team’s problems, you’ll create opportunities for them — and you — to grow as leaders. | https://www.forbes.com/sites/amyblaschka/2022/07/25/the-best-4-letter-acronym-to-boost-your-leadership-skills/ | 2022-07-26T00:53:48Z | https://www.forbes.com/sites/amyblaschka/2022/07/25/the-best-4-letter-acronym-to-boost-your-leadership-skills/ | false |

IRVINE, Calif. (AP) — Jalen Ramsey could have eased into training camp this summer. After a long, grueling season culminating in a Super Bowl title, the All-Pro cornerback could have rested his body and his surgically repaired shoulders during the Los Angeles Rams' 2 1/2 weeks at UC Irvine.
Instead, Ramsey was right in the middle of his teammates on the camp fields Monday. Although he isn't practicing, Ramsey is basically serving as another assistant coach, dispensing knowledge and tips to the Rams' younger defensive backs.
“I kind of know the playbook like the back of my hand, so that’s really why I carry the (play) script, so I can help the other guys,” Ramsey said.
“I know star, corner, whatever position in the secondary," he added. "So I can know exactly the play, so I can know the certain techniques that I feel like they should have been using, or to help them, if they got beat on the play, (understand) why they got beat. I can analyze it with them as soon as they come off the field, instead of me having to wait until we get to the meeting room.”
Ramsey's commitment to the Rams' overall success hasn't waned at all with a Super Bowl ring on his finger, as he made clear in his first extensive public comments on an eventful offseason.
Ramsey initially was expected to be on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list to start camp, which would have meant he couldn't practice. But the Rams changed course last weekend after realizing they wanted Ramsey on the field, and he was excited.
“I thought I was helping them by having me on PUP, just giving them a roster spot," Ramsey said. "So I was like, ‘Cool, I ain’t no puppy anyway, so let’s get it.’”
He demonstrated his commitment to the Rams last season while playing through persistent pain in his shoulder as Los Angeles won nine of its final 10 games on the way to a title. Ramsey earned his third career All-Pro selection along the way in recognition of his do-everything role specifically tailored to his formidable abilities on the Rams' defense.
Once the Rams finished celebrating, Ramsey immediately got back to work by evaluating his injuries and setting a self-imposed deadline to have surgery. He wanted to be fully healthy for Los Angeles' visit from the Buffalo Bills in Week 1, and he made his offseason decisions accordingly.
“I was hoping that certain things would heal on their own, giving it some time off and not reinjuring it every Sunday by hitting it, but it didn’t work out that way,” Ramsey said. “It just got to the point where it was just a little too yucky, a little too messed up in there. It just needed to be cleaned out and made new again.”
Ramsey and coach Sean McVay both expect the defensive back to be physically ready to face Josh Allen and the Bills. By taking an active role in training camp practices, Ramsey is doing his part to make sure his defensive teammates are ready to help him.
Los Angeles must identify a new starting cornerback during the preseason to replace Darious Williams, who got big free-agent money from Jacksonville after playing 80% of the Rams' snaps last season — more than any defensive player except All-Pros Aaron Donald and Ramsey. The Rams also must pick a starting nickelback, decide on two starting safeties after injury woes at the position last season, and prepare the four defensive backs drafted by the team last spring.
Ramsey is eager to help, both before and after he's back in uniform.
“I’ve got to stay strict on my rehab schedule, and just being smart about how I’m doing things and how I’m feeling,” Ramsey said. “Got to be a master of my body, honestly, and know what limits I can push and what limits I can’t push. But there’s no doubt in my mind I’ll be ready when the time is right.”

A growing animal clinic opened a newly constructed office at Ind. 421 and Ind. 2 in Westville.
Hero Pet Animal Hospital recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new 5,400-square-foot location at 707 N. Flynn Road.
“This celebration finally gives us the opportunity to say thank you to all of those that played a part in making the clinic a reality," said Dr. Lisa Booth, owner and co-founder of the hospital. "We grew much faster than anticipated. In this last year, we have seen over 4,000 clients with over 6,300 pets."
She said the practice's staff has doubled since its opening last August. The clinic will have an open house from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. It will be closed that day for tours.
"Our rescue partners will be present too, talking about their organizations, selling items to support their causes, and will have some of the pets they have up for adoption," Booth said.
The new building includes clinical facilities, an office, exam rooms and procedural space. Pet owners can take their dogs and cats there for medical, surgical, dental, and wellness services.
The new building is located at a business and heavily trafficked intersection. LaPorte County has been working to incentivize development there.
"When Mr. Ryan Booth and the LaPorte Community and Economic Development Director Mr. Tony Rodriguez proposed the creation of an Economic Revitalization Area we asked how can we help. And here we stand with an awesome new addition to Westville’s business corridor. Congratulations Hero Pet Animal Hospital and the Booth family," said Mike Albert, president of the Westville Town Council. “I am very excited about the growth opportunities that Hero Pet’s project has created."

FAIRFIELD, Calif. (AP) — A 76-year-old man suspected of a 2021 rape has been arrested in the killings of two women that had been unsolved for decades, authorities said.
James Ray Gary, of Fairfield, was arrested last week in the 1980 killing of Latrelle Lindsay of Union City and the 1996 killing of Winifred Douglas of Berkeley, the Solano County Sheriff’s Office said.
DNA collected during a 2021 rape investigation matched DNA collected from both crime scenes. On July 18, the office was notified that a DNA sample from Gary matched all three crimes. A warrant was obtained for his arrest and to search his home. He was arrested the following day, officials said.
It was not immediately known if Gary has an attorney who can speak on his behalf. The Solano County Public Defender and the Solano County District did not immediately return phone messages from The Associated Press seeking comment.
In July of 1980, Lindsay, 46, of Union City, was found dead inside her home. She had been raped and strangled, police said.
“At the time, no suspects were identified in this killing. A DNA sample was later sent for entry and search in a law enforcement database, but no match was made,” the Union City Police Department said in a statement.
Douglas’ body was found in March 1996 hidden among bushes along Highway 780 in Vallejo. An autopsy determined that she had been asphyxiated and suffered blunt-force trauma to the head and neck.
Gary was booked into Solano County Jail for homicide and is being held without bail. | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/76-year-old-rape-suspect-arrested-in-2-unsolved-murders/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world | 2022-07-26T01:08:35Z | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/76-year-old-rape-suspect-arrested-in-2-unsolved-murders/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world | true |
A sign inflation is easing: Walmart is slashing prices on clothing and other products

uh this is really what the Federal Reserve is raising rates to try to combat. So the more persistent inflation is, the more aggressive the Federal Reserve has to be. There was thought that they could raise rates three quarters of *** percentage points in the next couple of weeks. That's almost *** near certainty. So there were recession toxic going into this number. I think now the fact that the Fed has to be more aggressive in combating it means that um the likelihood of recession is probably increased. You know, think about it this way. This is *** this is the cancer that the Federal Reserve is applying. Um you know, chemotherapy too. And the more chemicals we have to use, the worst things are off for the rest of the body. Unfortunately, monetary policy works with *** lag. It's been thought that, you know, *** rate hike or even *** rate, he's really isn't felt through the economy for another, you know, year or so. Um So just because the Fed started raising rates *** few months ago in the face of higher inflation doesn't necessarily mean it will ultimately have an impact. So *** lot of what we're seeing is really more of *** supply constraint than it is demand driven. Um And the Fed obviously can't pump oil and they can't grow wheat. So all they can really do is impact the demand side of that supply demand equation. I feel the inflation pain every day, every day, everything is going up and up more than inflation, their price adjusting because even if inflation doesn't happen, they raised the prices, I noticed. Like I go and try to get milk and like even *** half gallon of milk, it's hard to find for under $8. Um which is really hard and makes it really hard to afford things in poor areas. Like I live up to Washington heights, you know and sometimes I have to come down here to get it for $6.5 so I can have most of my home.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – Falling gas prices have drivers excited, and the Biden administration has been quick to tout the downward trend.
AAA shows the national average of a gallon of regular gasoline is at $4.36. Spokesman Andrew Gross says the trend is encouraging.
“They’re falling, which is great news. How far they’re going to fall, we’re not quite sure,” Gross said.
White House Economic Adviser Jared Bernstein says it’s clear the Biden administration’s effort to bring down prices at the pump have paid off.
“Nobody is saying that the sole reason for the 66 cent per gallon reduction over the past 41 days is the president’s actions. What we are saying is those actions are in the mix,” Bernstein said.
Gross says the biggest reasons for the decline are lower global oil prices and less demand. A recent AAA study found nearly two-thirds of drivers changed their habits to intentionally drive less and buy less gas.
But when President Joe Biden ordered the release of oil from the strategic petroleum reserves, he says that helped too.
“If they hadn’t taken that step, could they have gone a lot higher than $5.01? It’s likely,” Gross said.
Republicans argue the Biden administration’s energy policies are to blame for the higher gas prices in the first place. Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, says Democrats are attacking the fossil fuel industry.
“Every tool, every weapon, every available avenue to kill this industry is being used right now,” Pfluger said.
Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., thinks gas prices are still far too high.
“That’s just killing families,” Scott said. “People are not going to have any opportunities if we don’t get energy under control.”
The White House agrees that gas prices still aren’t affordable enough.
“And we’ve got to do more to get them to come down further,” Bernstein said.
The Biden administration says it’s working to put a price cap on Russian oil. The president has also been calling on Congress to suspend the federal gas tax.
But there’s reason for drivers to feel optimistic. Gross says if the global market stays stable and demand stays low, the gas prices should keep dropping. | https://www.ksn.com/news/washington-dc/biden-administration-touts-falling-gas-prices/ | 2022-07-26T01:16:35Z | https://www.ksn.com/news/washington-dc/biden-administration-touts-falling-gas-prices/ | false |
