SEATTLE, Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In the new e-book, The Hybrid42 Oscar Slap: God swings at screens, James Patrick Nagle claims that after reverse engineering quantum computer technology (QCT), he can prove that the universe is the product of QCT and that all use of language and storytelling are QCT constructs. QCT, the book claims, is simulation technology that makes it possible to create the illusion of alternate dimensions to which every work of storytelling and every conversation between humans can be reduced.
In addition, the book claims the concept of "QCT as reality" is ancient knowledge hidden in many iconic works, including the Holy Bible, the Jewish Kabbalah, and many iconic pop culture films and songs. The book states Steven Spielberg, Dennis Hopper, Rod Serling, Steely Dan, Netflix, and others seeded their art, sometimes intentionally, with clues to ensure this ground-breaking discovery would occur in 2022.
Nagle further claims that by demonstrating all films are of a QCT construct, and that human consciousness is built on the same construct, the consumption of films, songs, and novels can now be characterized as brainwashing, responsible for screen addiction, materialism, and likely mental illness. According to Nagle, if our consciousness is QCT, and films are QCT, viewing a film is like looking into a perfectly programmed human, an image that is fully identified by the subconscious mind. Thus, all symptoms of addiction may stem from the subconscious mind's attempt to duplicate the perfect QCT programming as witnessed on screens or through earbuds.
This book challenges all past relativity research, including Einstein's relativity theorem. It also legitimizes "Transhumanism philosophy," and reinterprets the Bible, showing it to be both a QCT programming and QCT programmed document. Nagle claims the true "Garden of Eden" is the QCT "connection universe" this book begins unveiling for the world. He also cites several publicly verifiable "42miracles" that he says are QCT- designed to aid him in convincing you he is Adam, back on earth, giving tours of his connection universe, all in this book.

TORONTO, Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Info-Tech Research Group, one of the world's leading IT research and advisory firms, has published a new research-backed blueprint, titled Deliver an IT Strategy Engagement. This data-backed blueprint is designed for Info-Tech partners and industry consultants to help small businesses align their IT vision with the business vision to achieve business goals.
According to Info-Tech's research, 44% of small- and medium-sized businesses have an IT strategy process they feel is ineffective. Business leaders often think IT does not invest in areas that support the organization or its goals, creating a misalignment with IT. In small organizations, the research indicated that it is the technology leaders who often feel out of alignment with the business, believing that they could be doing much more but are relegated to simply keeping the lights on.
"Most small business leaders see IT as nothing more than a trusted operator used for maintaining computers, the network, data backup, and recovery," says Brijesh Kumar, research specialist at Info-Tech Research Group. "When technology leaders are in full alignment with business goals, they become true business partners, participating in business growth and innovation, especially in increasingly digitally enabled businesses."
Info-Tech's findings further indicate that IT leaders in small businesses react to IT problems and take on business challenges much like an order taker, thereby failing to proactively participate as a business partner or innovator.
"IT's contributions to a business' goals are not always clear and rarely recognized," explains Kumar. "IT projects do not get priority due to a lack of budget or skills and get put on hold because of sudden changes to business requirements."
To create a business-aligned IT strategy, Info-Tech's blueprint outlines how IT leaders must understand what the business does and what it will need. Only then can a carefully thought-out, strategic, and tactical plan be created for execution.
Deliver an IT Strategy Engagement can be downloaded and viewed now. The blueprint also contains workshops and other diagnostic programs that can provide valuable input to an informed strategic plan.

DALLAS — One debate that will always rage through the Dallas Cowboys fan base, regardless of the fortunes of the current team, is who is the greatest player in franchise history.
Certainly quarterbacks, the focal position of the entire NFL, are up for consideration as Roger Staubach led the Cowboys to two Super Bowl victories at the end of the 1971 and 1977 seasons, even earning a Super Bowl MVP in the process.
Troy Aikman not only duplicated Staubach's success in the early 1990s, but added a third Super Bowl win of his own to help Dallas to their five total championships that fans love to reference in arguments with other fan bases.
Bookies.com sought the four best players of all-time for all 32 active franchises, and the Cowboys' results aren't too surprising for anyone born after 1980.
Using Pro Football Reference and its Career Weighted Approximate Value (Career AV) and Hall of Fame Monitor score, they were able to come up with the formula that named running back Emmitt Smith as the greatest Cowboys player ever.
It makes sense that the NFL's all-time leading rusher would be the greatest player in franchise history.
Smith was also a staple of the Cowboys from 1990 to 2002. Only in his rookie season and final season with the team did Smith fail to post 1,000 yards, albeit they were still 900-plus yard campaigns. That is on top of the three Super Bowl wins, Super Bowl MVP, league MVP, four NFL rushing titles, eight Pro Bowls and four first-team All-Pro appearances.
The second-greatest Dallas player on the list was Mr. Cowboy, Bob Lilly. The former defensive tackle played in an era when defensive line stats such as sacks were not official, but he nevertheless made an impact with his command of double and triple teams. Lilly, the Cowboys' first ever draft pick and first ever inductee into the Ring of Honor, made 11 Pro Bowls, seven first-team All-Pros and won a Super Bowl at the end of the 1971 season.
Another defensive tackle made the list with Randy White, who similarly had seven first-team All-Pros, nine Pro Bowl appearances and a Super Bowl win to add to his resume. Although White was 29 years old by the time sacks became an official statistic in 1982, he posted three double-digit sack seasons from 1983 to 1985, demonstrating the ferocity that he had playing in the interior of coach Tom Landry's 4-3 Flex defense.
The fourth player on the list was offensive lineman Larry Allen, who remains the only Cowboys player to make the Pro Bowl at four different offensive line positions (left tackle, left guard, right guard, right tackle).
Not only was Allen versatile, but he was strong. Number 73 moved defensive linemen around like practice dummies, and with legendary TV commentator John Madden highlighting his play, Allen got the recognition with 10 Pro Bowls, six first-team All-Pros and a Super Bowl ring at the end of the 1995 season.
For his career, Allen had 11 Pro Bowl selections as he earned one in 2006, his first of his two final NFL seasons spent with the San Francisco 49ers.
The top-four Cowboys have the same thing in common: multiple All-Pros, best at their positions and Super Bowl champions. The standard is high in Dallas, which is why sporting the star comes with such heavy criticism and lofty expectations.

A boy has died falling from the White Cliffs of Dover. He had been celebrating his 12th birthday on the first day of a family holiday, an inquest has heard.
Mati Urb was with his parents and two siblings during the Easter school holidays. They had hired a campervan to take a trip around the south coast of England.
During a clifftop walk along the East Langdon cliffs in Dover, Mati's parents lost sight of him and started to look for him. A passer-by called the Coastguard at around 6.15pm and, in addition, a lifeboat and Kent Police were called to the cliffs to search for Mati.
READ MORERyanair passengers make citizen's arrest as holidaymaker 'won't stop drinking'
At around 7.15pm the Coastguard helicopter saw his body at the base of the cliffs, in an area described as inaccessible on foot. A post-mortem examination concluded Mati died of head injuries.
Coroner Katrina Hepburn ruled the youngster's death was an accident, saying: "Mati had been visiting Kent, specifically the Dover region and the cliffs with his mum, dad, brother and sister. It was at a location close to the lighthouse at St Margaret's, on top of the cliffs at Langdon, when the family became separated and ultimately came to a point where Mati could not be found.
"A call was made to the Coastguard and then the Coastguard contacted the police. A search was initiated incorporating the Coastguard helicopter and paramedics. Sadly Mati was located at the base of the cliffs and, despite initial attempts at resuscitation, it was confirmed he was sadly deceased. I conclude that Mati succumbed to head injuries as a result of falling from the cliff.
"I don't know how Mati came to fall from the cliff - it was unwitnessed. Whether he tripped and fell, whether it was the wind, or whether he was looking too far over the edge, I simply don't know. I know that's of no comfort to the family to have this unexplained as to how Mati came to fall. These were tragic circumstances and the conclusion that I return is one of accident. I can see no evidence that he intended to go over the cliff. I want to offer my most sincere condolences for the tragic loss of Mati in these circumstances."

Human remains found at Lake Mead's Swim Beach for the third time amid dropping water levels
More human skeletal remains were discovered at Lake Mead's Swim Beach area Monday night, officials said, marking the third time authorities have reported finding remains at the beach amid the lake's rapidly receding shoreline.
So far this year, authorities have recovered human remains at the lake five times, three of which have been at Swim Beach. It's unclear whether the three discoveries at Swim Beach are all from one person or separate individuals. The Clark County coroner has been working to determine if the first two Swim Beach discoveries, which were both partial remains, are from the same person, a county spokesperson told CNN.
National Park Service rangers responded to Swim Beach at about 8 p.m. Monday night and worked with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's dive team to set a perimeter to recover the remains, the park service said in a news release. The Clark County coroner was also contacted.
CNN has reached out to Clark County officials for more information and has not heard back.
In addition to those found at Swim Beach, two other sets of remains have been uncovered at the lake since May, including one body which is being investigated as a homicide case after it was found in a corroding barrel with a gunshot wound, officials said.
The homicide victim, whose remains were found on May 1, likely died sometime in the mid-'70s to early '80s, according to police and Clark County coroner Melanie Rouse. The victim's clothes and shoes helped investigators determine the approximate time of death, as some of the clothing was so well preserved the labels were still visible, police said.
Just a week after the homicide victim's remains were found, a second set was discovered at the lake's Calville Bay, the park said. Rouse has preliminarily determined that those remains belong to a man estimated to be between 23 to 38 years old, she told CNN previously. His cause and manner of death are undetermined, she said.
The coroner's office is trying to extract DNA from the first two sets of remains in an effort to identify who they belong to, Rouse has said.
The third set of partial remains was found at Swim Beach on July 25, followed by more partial remains found in the same area on Aug. 6. It is unclear if the third discovery of remains on Monday is related to the previous two partial sets.
The remains have started to be uncovered as Lake Mead's shoreline is receding dramatically due to a prolonged megadrought in the West. The extreme drought has caused water levels at Lake Mead — the nation's largest water reservoir — to drop to just 27% of its full capacity, threatening the essential water supply for millions of people in the region.
As the water level drops, other visitors have been able to see other things previously submerged in the lake, including a sunken World War II-era vessel and the reservoir's original 1971 intake valve. | https://www.wcvb.com/article/lake-mead-swim-beach-human-remains-third-time/40919920 | 2022-08-17T16:41:29Z | https://www.wcvb.com/article/lake-mead-swim-beach-human-remains-third-time/40919920 | false |
Leading Technology Company Brings the Future of Immersive Experiences Directly to Consumers
INGLEWOOD, Calif., Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hollywood Park, the largest urban mixed-use mega development under construction in the Western United States, announces a new signed tenant, Cosm, a global leader in experiential media and immersive technology, which will introduce its first public venue in Hollywood Park.

Cosm is a portal that can transport you anywhere, anytime, real or imagined, and it is completely reinventing entertainment as we know it."
Construction for Cosm's Los Angeles venue, designed by HKS, will begin in the fall of 2022.

When complete, Hollywood Park will include up to five million square feet of creative office space, an exceptional retail district reaching up to 890,000 square feet, a 300-room hotel, and up to 2,500 sophisticated new residences. The expansive outdoor-oriented districts will border a six-acre artificial lake while being interlaced with 25 acres of tree-lined public parks and open space.
The first phase of Hollywood Park's retail district will total 500,000 square feet, with 320,000 square feet scheduled to open spring 2023. Hollywood Park's newest tenants feature concepts including Inglewood-based, family-owned juice bar Antojitos Martin; Grilled Fraiche from South LA restaurateur Peace Love Reedburg; Residency Art Gallery, which is a platform for artists of color; the latest venture from the founder of Inglewood's Three Weavers Brewing Company; Long Beach, Calif.-based Iconix Fitness; and Red Bay Coffee, an artisanal, black-owned coffee shop headquartered in Oakland, Calif.

Ospreay was previously on the shelf from May 15 – June 8 due to the infection, forcing him to miss shows for NJPW, RevPro, and Warrior Wrestling. Ospreay took to Twitter today and revealed just how bad the infection was.
“So it’s not really spoken about enough but May I nearly died. My infection was that serious,” he wrote. “Came back in 2 weeks. 3 months from that point, tomorrow I’m in the G1 Final on NJPW 50th Anniversary. I wish I could hear your voices. But I’ll fight with everything I’ve got.”
Ospreay defeated Tetsuya Naito in the G1 Climax 32 semi-finals on Wednesday, and will face Kazuchika Okada in the finals on Thursday.

- Seamless Integration – Sony's Ci cloud integration will unlock camera-to-cloud workflows for broadcasters and filmmakers using Teradek Prism Flex and Teradek Serv 4K
- Accurate Metadata – Timecode and file name sunk proxies or high-quality 4K HDR OCF recordings
- Real-time Editing – Teams can upload 4K HDR files automatically and edit frame-accurate proxies immediately without waiting for dailies
- Collaborative Workflows – Complete the full media lifecycle: from studio-to-cloud or set-to-cloud for post-production, collaboration, and review, to catalog management and archiving
- Connected Ecosystem – Teradek is establishing itself as the onramp to the cloud – integrating siloed workflows by providing visibility throughout the entire imaging pipeline
IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Teradek and Sony Electronics have announced an integration that will provide productions in the cine and broadcast markets with greater flexibility in camera-to-cloud workflows.
Sony's Ci Media Cloud will natively integrate with Serv 4K and Prism Flex, Teradek's 4K HDR encoding solutions. Now, any camera used on-set, in-studio, or remotely will be able to upload footage to Ci directly from Teradek's encoders.
With this new integration, film and broadcast teams will have the ability to effortlessly review, edit, and deliver proxy files in a matter of minutes. This blazing-fast file transfer will accelerate content acquisition workflows while still delivering frame-accurate files for cutting, color grading, frame grabbing, commenting, and annotating. Content can be clipped, reformatted, and shared without it ever having to leave the cloud.
Because it's in the cloud, this workflow will avoid duplicating content across multiple systems, allowing the processing to come directly to the content. It also allows internal and external stakeholders to work seamlessly together while maintaining secure boundaries.
Sony's Ci provides content acquisition portals, real-time collaboration, automated transcoding, rough cut editing, QC, and archive functionality in a single SaaS offering. This new integration will provide the fastest on-set configuration on the market. It will also allow productions to onboard team members without user limits and create a fully customizable target folder structure, giving teams the freedom to work the way they like. Files can be optionally stored in a customer's own AWS S3 bucket so they always maintain control of their content. Plus, automatic notifications will let teams know the second new content is uploaded.
"Sony and Teradek are industry standards in the content creation and production space," said David Rosen, Vice President of Cloud Applications and Services, Sony Electronics. "Leveraging our combined strengths, this integration will enable a reliable and effortless workflow that allows content creators to work with the tools they love and stay focused on their vision with full confidence in the underlying technology."
Teradek Serv 4K and Prism Flex will connect to Sony's Ci with a unique 8-digit code, making it the simplest configuration available with no additional apps required. Serv 4K also provides local iPad client monitoring, and a Gold/V-mount solution for camera-back setups. Prism Flex offers live streaming and point-to-point decoding.
"The future is cloud-based production," said Derek Nickell, Product Manager for Teradek Live Production. "We are positioning ourselves to accelerate the market towards collaborative remote production."
"Teradek has become the leader in on-set encoding and cloud streaming," added Colin McDonald, Product Manager for Teradek Cine. "We are excited to enable these same cloud workflows and integrations for Sony's established user base."
This new integration is planned to be available in fall 2022.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The head of the World Health Organization described the persistent crisis in Ethiopia’s Tigray region as “the worst disaster on Earth” and wondered aloud Wednesday if the reason global leaders have not responded was due to “the color of the skin of the people in Tigray.”
In an emotional statement at a press briefing, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus – himself an Ethnic Tigrayan – said the situation caused by the ongoing conflict in his home country is worse than any other humanitarian crisis in the world.
Tedros asserted that the 6 million people in Tigray essentially cut off from the world have been “under siege” for the last 21 months. He described the Ukraine conflict as a crisis that has the global community potentially “sleepwalking into a nuclear war” that could be “the mother of all problems,” but argued the disaster in Tigray was far worse.
“I haven’t heard in the last few months any head of state talking about the Tigray situation anywhere in the developed world. Anywhere. Why?” Tedros asked.
“Maybe the reason is the color of the skin of the people in Tigray.” he said.
In April, Tedros questioned if the world’s overwhelming focus on Russia’s war in Ukraine was due to racism, although he acknowledged the conflict there had global consequences.
The conflict in Ethiopia began in November 2020, and little humanitarian aid arrived after Tigray forces retook much of the region in June 2021. Aid has started flowing more substantially in the past few months but is widely described as inadequate to meet the needs of the millions of people essentially trapped there.
The resumption of basic services and banking remains a key demand of the Tigray regional leaders. Journalists have not been allowed in.
Tedros said the people of Tigray had no access to medicine and telecommunications and were prevented from leaving the region. However, the International Committee of the Red Cross in recent months has reported shipments of some medications.
“Nowhere in the world you would see this level of cruelty, where it’s a government (that) punishes 6 million of its people for more than 21 months,” the WHO chief said. “The only thing we ask is, ‘Can the world come back to its senses and uphold humanity?’”
Tedros called on both the Ethiopian and Russian governments to end the crises in Tigray and Ukraine.
“If they want peace, they can make it happen and I urge them both to resolve th(ese) issue(s),” he said.
Also Wednesday, Ethiopia’s foreign ministry said a government peace committee had adopted a peace proposal “that would lead to the conclusion of ceasefire” and that it woudl be shared with the African Union envoy working on mediation. Basic services would follow a ceasefire, the statement said.
Tigray forces spokesman Getachew Reda dismissed the government statement, asserting in a tweet that “if anything, the Abiy Ahmed regime has made it abundantly clear that it has no appetite for peaceful negotiations except as delaying tactics.”
In a sign of just how cut off Tigray has been, a COVID-19 vaccination campaign was finally launched at the region’s flagship hospital only in July, an improvement from a months-long period of deprivation in which hospital workers described running out of essential medicines and trying to treat wounds with warm salt water. It was the first COVID-19 vaccination campaign in Tigray.
This was not the first time the WHO chief has spoken out about Tigray.
Earlier this year, the government of Ethiopia sent a letter to the World Health Organization, accusing Tedros of “misconduct” after his sharp criticism of the war and humanitarian crisis in the country.
The Ethiopian government said Tedros was using his office “to advance his political interest at the expense of Ethiopia” and said he continues to be an active member of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front; Tedros was Ethiopia’s foreign minister and health minister when the TPLF dominated the country’s ruling coalition.
When Tedros was confirmed for a second term as head of WHO, it was the first time a candidate’s home country had failed to nominate their own candidate.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Now that President Joe Biden signed Democrats' expansive climate, tax and health care bill into law, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has directed the IRS to develop a plan within six months outlining how the tax agency will overhaul its technology, customer service and hiring processes.
In part, the improvements are meant to “end the two-tiered tax system, where most Americans pay what they owe, but those at the top of the distribution often do not," Yellen said in a Tuesday memo to IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig, whose term ends in three months.
Yellen’s memo, obtained by The Associated Press, outlines the importance of modernizing IRS computer systems and ensuring the agency has an adequately-staffed workforce now that the tax collector is set to receive nearly $80 billion over the next 10 years.
That funding is needed for more than technology. At least 50,000 IRS employees are expected to retire over the next five years.
Yellen has called for the IRS to “fully resolve the inventory backlog and make significant improvements in taxpayer services," “to overhaul an information technology system that is decades out of date” and invest and train employees “so they can identify the most complex evasion schemes by those at the top."
This year's tax season resulted in the worst backlog in history for the beleaguered IRS, which has also been tasked with administering pandemic related programs, including sending out stimulus checks, emergency rental assistance and advance child tax credit checks.
In its June report to Congress, the National Taxpayer Advocate, an independent watchdog within the IRS, also said taxpayers have experienced longer wait times on the telephone, and delays in processing paper returns have been running six months to one year.
Additional funding for the agency has been politically controversial since 2013, when the IRS under the Obama administration was found to scrutinize political groups that applied for tax-exempt status.
A Treasury Department Inspector General report found that both conservative and liberal groups were chosen for scrutiny.
Most recently, Republican politicians and candidates have distorted how the climate, tax and healthcare bill would reform the IRS and affect taxes for the middle class.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) last week tweeted that “Democrats’ new army of 87,000 IRS agents will be coming for you -- with 710,000 new audits for Americans who earn less than $75k."
Yellen last week sent instructions to IRS leadership not to increase audit rates on Americans making under $400,000 a year annually.
“Instead, enforcement resources will focus on high-end noncompliance,” she said in her Aug. 11 guidance. “There, sustained, multi-year funding is so critical to the agency’s ability to make the investments needed to pursue a robust attack on the tax gap.” | https://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Yellen-tells-IRS-to-develop-modernization-plan-in-17379422.php | 2022-08-17T16:48:10Z | https://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Yellen-tells-IRS-to-develop-modernization-plan-in-17379422.php | true |

For the second time in less than a year, the ACC and ESPN have resolved a longstanding source of frustration for the conference’s television viewers.
The latest breakthrough came Wednesday with news that early rounds of the league’s baseball and women’s basketball tournaments are moving to the ACC Network from Bally Sports’ often hard-to-find regional networks.
“We are thrilled,” ACC commissioner Jim Phillips told Smith. “... This is a significant moment that will enhance these premier events and provide much-needed access to our fans. We appreciate ESPN, Raycom Sports and Bally for mutually agreeing to make this happen.”
A partnership with ESPN, ACC Network will carry 11 women’s basketball tournament games and 14 baseball tournament contests. The finals of those events will remain on ESPN or ESPN2.
People are also reading…
Due to long-term contracts that predated the ACC Network’s 2019 launch, Raycom Sports owned the rights to those tournaments and distributed them through Bally.
The baseball and women’s basketball tournaments’ absence from the ACC Network left potential viewers scouring for the proper outlet. That confusion ramped up locally this spring, when Virginia Tech and Virginia entered the ACC baseball tournament nationally ranked.
The ACC’s broadcasting of those tournaments on regional sports networks (RSNs) also contrasted the SEC and Big Ten, which air those events on their conference networks.
ESPN and the ACC secured full distribution of the ACC Network late last year by reaching a carriage agreement with Xfinity Comcast, the nation’s largest cable provider. That agreement enhanced not only fans’ access to their favorite teams but also the conference’s television revenue. | https://richmond.com/sports/college/baseball-and-womens-basketball-tournaments-coming-to-acc-network/article_0a2fbc7e-723e-59dc-b48a-1af1b7b2c6e9.html | 2022-08-17T16:50:03Z | https://richmond.com/sports/college/baseball-and-womens-basketball-tournaments-coming-to-acc-network/article_0a2fbc7e-723e-59dc-b48a-1af1b7b2c6e9.html | false |

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The head of the World Health Organization described the persistent crisis in Ethiopia’s Tigray region as “the worst disaster on Earth” and wondered aloud Wednesday if the reason global leaders have not responded was due to “the color of the skin of the people in Tigray.”
In an emotional statement at a press briefing, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus - himself an Ethnic Tigrayan - said the situation caused by the ongoing conflict in his home country is worse than any other humanitarian crisis in the world.
Tedros asserted that the 6 million people in Tigray essentially cut off from the world have been “under siege” for the last 21 months. He described the Ukraine conflict as a crisis that has the global community potentially “sleepwalking into a nuclear war" that could be “the mother of all problems,” but argued the disaster in Tigray was far worse.
“I haven’t heard in the last few months any head of state talking about the Tigray situation anywhere in the developed world. Anywhere. Why?” Tedros asked.
“Maybe the reason is the color of the skin of the people in Tigray.” he said.
In April, Tedros questioned if the world's overwhelming focus on Russia's war in Ukraine was due to racism, although he acknowledged the conflict there had global consequences.
The conflict in Ethiopia began in November 2020, and little humanitarian aid arrived after Tigray forces retook much of the region in June 2021. Aid has started flowing more substantially in the past few months but is widely described as inadequate to meet the needs of the millions of people essentially trapped there.
The resumption of basic services and banking remains a key demand of the Tigray regional leaders. Journalists have not been allowed in.
Tedros said the people of Tigray had no access to medicine and telecommunications and were prevented from leaving the region. However, the International Committee of the Red Cross in recent months has reported shipments of some medications.
“Nowhere in the world you would see this level of cruelty, where it’s a government (that) punishes 6 million of its people for more than 21 months,” the WHO chief said. “The only thing we ask is, ‘Can the world come back to its senses and uphold humanity?’”
Tedros called on both the Ethiopian and Russian governments to end the crises in Tigray and Ukraine.
“If they want peace, they can make it happen and I urge them both to resolve th(ese) issue(s),” he said.
Also Wednesday, Ethiopia's foreign ministry said a government peace committee had adopted a peace proposal “that would lead to the conclusion of ceasefire” and that it woudl be shared with the African Union envoy working on mediation. Basic services would follow a ceasefire, the statement said.
Tigray forces spokesman Getachew Reda dismissed the government statement, asserting in a tweet that “if anything, the Abiy Ahmed regime has made it abundantly clear that it has no appetite for peaceful negotiations except as delaying tactics.”
In a sign of just how cut off Tigray has been, a COVID-19 vaccination campaign was finally launched at the region’s flagship hospital only in July, an improvement from a months-long period of deprivation in which hospital workers described running out of essential medicines and trying to treat wounds with warm salt water. It was the first COVID-19 vaccination campaign in Tigray.
This was not the first time the WHO chief has spoken out about Tigray.
Earlier this year, the government of Ethiopia sent a letter to the World Health Organization, accusing Tedros of “misconduct” after his sharp criticism of the war and humanitarian crisis in the country.
The Ethiopian government said Tedros was using his office “to advance his political interest at the expense of Ethiopia” and said he continues to be an active member of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front; Tedros was Ethiopia’s foreign minister and health minister when the TPLF dominated the country’s ruling coalition.
When Tedros was confirmed for a second term as head of WHO, it was the first time a candidate's home country had failed to nominate their own candidate.

BOCA RATON, Fla., Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- TransMedia Group to Launch PR campaign for song recorded by singer/musician Roger Homefield and lyricist/videographer Sandy Koplowitz "That's Why We Need To Bring Back Trump!" https://youtu.be/oGqnlohevRc
TransMedia said PR campaign will show how it came about when Sandy brought Roger his lyrics for a pro-Trump parody, even though Roger hadn't sung or performed in 15 years and had become a political activist hosting his own "The Joe Citizen Show."
Roger modified the tempo and keys of Rogers and Hart's "The Lady is a Tramp" sung by Frank Sinatra for Sandy's new version for Roger to belt out criticism of Democrats and praise for Trump's accomplishments.
"Our program will present the recording as a musical weapon aimed at Trump's adversaries and deploring Biden's mismanaging America," said TransMedia CEO Tom Madden.
"Lawyers took care of the rights to the song and images in the video recording in which Roger bangs out Sandy's lyrics critical of government policies, persecutions, and the unjustified raid on Trump's home."
TransMedia said publicity will encompass the pair's passion for Trump's vision for America, as in Roger's words "We couldn't stomach the persecution of the president anymore, so we came out with an American standard song with a powerful message."
TransMedia to feature the song at political rallies and conventions so it winds up atop the charts. "Our publicity will show how Roger did an amazing job fitting his vocals into the song with the band, with Sandy's lyrics hitting the hot spots to help voters make the right decisions before America slips away for good, if Biden wins another term," said Madden.
TransMedia intends to show how creating this video was a labor of love meant to uplift Trump who they feel is under unrelenting siege.
Homefield was lead jazz trombonist with the Buddy Rich, Stan Kenton, and Maynard Ferguson big bands and was "Joe Citizen" on his pro-American radio show, composer for his orchestra, and arranged music for his musical variety act.
Koplowitz and Homefield met playing senior softball. A long-time member of the American Mensa Society, Sandy was a computer programmer for IBM and today he and Gabi, his opera-singing fiancée, perform singing gigs entertaining residents at assisted living facilities and nursing homes.

NEW YORK (AP) — Health officials are warning people who are infected with monkeypox to stay away from household pets, since the animals could be at risk of catching the virus.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for months has had the advice in place as monkeypox spreads in the U.S. But it gained new attention after a report from France, published last week in the medical journal Lancet, about an Italian greyhound that caught the virus.
The dog belongs to a couple who said they sleep alongside the animal. The two men were infected with monkeypox after having sex with other partners and wound up with lesions and other symptoms. The greyhound later developed lesions and was diagnosed with the virus.
Monkeypox infections have been detected in rodents and other wild animals, which can spread the virus to humans. But the authors called it the first report of monkeypox infection in a domesticated animal like a dog or cat.
Pets that come in close contact with a symptomatic person should be kept at home and away from other animals and people for 21 days after the most recent contact, the CDC advises.

Which cedar raised garden bed is best?
Growing your own food is one of the most rewarding outdoor activities you can have. This is a delicious, visible connection to the earth that can improve both your health and your environment.
But what are your options when you have limited space or poor soil? These challenges are common in urban areas. To meet them, many people opt to use a cedar raised garden bed.
Why choose a cedar raised garden bed
On the most basic level, a cedar raised garden bed is beneficial because:
- It lets you start your garden sooner in the season.
- It has better drainage.
- You can customize the soil to whatever you’re planting.
- You can garden in areas with poor or potentially harmful soil.
Raised beds are also great for gardeners with mobility concerns. It can be challenging to get up and down off the ground during a long weeding session. Depending on the height, a raised bed with legs can be accessed while sitting or standing. This makes gardening more accessible.
Finally, cedar in particular is both rot and pest resistant. Because of this, you don’t need to use chemically treated wood or harmful sealant or paint to keep your raised bed from disintegrating after a couple of seasons.
Raised beds with or without legs
A raised bed can be as simple as a square boundary placed on top of already existing soil. Most raised beds without legs are 11 inches tall — a good height for most herbs, flowers and vegetables. This provides all of the benefits, but they can still be challenging for some gardeners to use.
If you like the idea of planting, weeding and harvesting at waist level, look for raised beds with legs. They have the same depth of bed, but legs that are 2-4 feet tall make this setup easier to use.

NEW YORK (AP) — Wolfgang Petersen, the German filmmaker whose World War II submarine epic “Das Boot” propelled him into a blockbuster Hollywood career that included the films “In the Line of Fire,” “Air Force One” and “The Perfect Storm,” has died. He was 81.
Petersen died Friday at his home in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Brentwood after a battle with pancreatic cancer, said representative Michelle Bega.
Petersen, born in the north German port city of Emden, made two features before his 1982 breakthrough, “Das Boot,” then the most expensive movie in German film history. The 149-minute film (the original cut ran 210 minutes) chronicled the intense claustrophobia of life aboard a doomed German U-boat during the Battle of the Atlantic, with Jürgen Prochnow as the submarine’s commander.
Heralded as an antiwar masterpiece, “Das Boot” was nominated for six Oscars, including for Petersen’s direction and his adaptation of Lothar-Günther Buchheim’s best-selling 1973 novel.
Petersen, born in 1941, recalled as a child running alongside American ships as they threw down food. In the confusion of postwar Germany, Petersen — who started out in theater before attending Berlin’s Film and Television Academy in the late 1960s — gravitated toward Hollywood films with clear clashes of good and evil. John Ford was a major influence.
“In school they never talked about the time of Hitler — they just blocked it out of their minds and concentrated on rebuilding Germany,” Petersen told The Los Angeles Times in 1993. “We kids were looking for more glamorous dreams than rebuilding a destroyed country though, so we were really ready for it when American pop culture came to Germany. We all lived for American movies, and by the time I was 11 I’d decided I wanted to be a filmmaker.”
“Das Boot” launched Petersen as a filmmaker in Hollywood, where he became one of the top makers of cataclysmic action adventures in films spanning war (2004’s “Troy,” with Brad Pitt), pandemic (the 1995 ebolavirus-inspired “Outbreak”) and other ocean-set disasters (2000’s “The Perfect Storm” and 2006’s “Poseidon,” a remake of “The Poseidon Adventure,” about the capsizing of an ocean liner).
But Petersen’s first foray in American moviemaking was child fantasy: the enchanting 1984 film “The NeverEnding Story.” Adapted from Michael Ende’s novel, “The NeverEnding Story” was about a magical book that transports its young reader into the world of Fantasia, where a dark force known as the Nothing rampages.
Arguably Petersen’s finest Hollywood film came almost a decade later in 1993’s “In the Line of Fire,” starring Clint Eastwood as a Secret Service agent protecting the president of the United States from John Malkovich’s assassin. In it, Petersen marshalled his substantial skill in building suspense for a more open-air but just as taut thriller that careened across rooftops and past Washington D.C. monuments.
Seeking a director for the film, Eastwood thought of Petersen, with whom he had chatted a few years earlier at a dinner party given by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Eastwood met with Petersen, checked out his work and gave him the job. “In the Line of Fire” was a major hit, grossing $177 million worldwide and landing three Oscar nominations.
“You sometimes have seven-year cycles. You look at other directors; they don’t have the big successes all the time. Up to ‘NeverEnding Story,’ my career was one success after another,” Petersen told The Associated Press in 1993. “Then I came into the stormy international scene. I needed time to get a feeling for this work — it’s not Germany anymore.”
Petersen considered the political thriller — which cast the heroic Eastwood as the tired but devoted defender of a less honorable president — an indictment of Washington.
“When John’s character says, ‘Nothing they told me was true and there’s nothing left worth fighting for,’ I think his words will resonate for many people,” Petersen told The Los Angeles Times. “The film is rooted in a profound pessimism about what’s unfortunately happened to this country in the last 30 years. Look around — the corruption is everywhere, and there’s not much to celebrate.”
After “Outbreak,” with Dustin Hoffman, Rene Russo and Morgan Freeman, Petersen returned to the presidency in 1997’s “Air Force One.” Harrison Ford starred as a president forced into a fight with terrorists who hijack Air Force One.
“Air Force One,” with $315 million in global box office, was a hit, too, but Petersen went for something even bigger in 2000’s “The Perfect Storm,” the true-life tale of a Massachusetts fishing boat lost at sea. The cast included George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg but its main attraction was a 100-foot computer-generated wave. With a budget of $120 million, “The Perfect Storm” made $328.7 million.
For Peterson, who grew up on the northern coast of Germany, the sea long held his fascination.
“The power of water is unbelievable,” Petersen said in a 2009 interview. “I was always impressed as a kid how strong it is, all the damage the water could do when it just turned within a couple of hours, and smashed against the shore.”
Petersen’s followed “The Perfect Storm” with “Troy,” a sprawling epic based on Homer’s Iliad that found less favor among critics but still made nearly $500 million worldwide. The big-budget “Poseidon,” a high-priced flop for Warner Bros., was Petersen’s last Hollywood film. His final film was 2016’s “Four Against the Bank” a German film that remade Petersen’s own 1976 German TV movie.
Petersen was first married to German actress Ursula Sieg. When they divorced in 1978, he married Maria-Antoinette Borgel, a German script supervisor and assistant director. He’s survived by Borgel, son Daniel Petersen and two grandchildren. | https://www.localsyr.com/entertainment-news/wolfgang-petersen-blockbuster-filmmaker-of-das-boot-dies/ | 2022-08-17T17:01:59Z | https://www.localsyr.com/entertainment-news/wolfgang-petersen-blockbuster-filmmaker-of-das-boot-dies/ | true |
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The head of Russian proxy forces in eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk region has sent a message to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un calling for cooperation amid signs the North is considering sending laborers for restoration projects in Russian-occupied regions of Ukraine.
North Korea last month became one of the few nations in the world to recognize the independence of Donetsk and Luhansk, another Russian-backed separatist region in eastern Ukraine, prompting Kyiv to cut off diplomatic ties with Pyongyang.
There are indications North Korea is reviewing plans to send workers for restoration projects in those regions, which could help its economy but run against U.N. Security Council sanctions over its nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles program.
In his comments sent Monday, Donetsk separatist leader Denis Pushilin expressed hope that his Moscow-backed republic and North Korea could achieve “equally beneficial bilateral cooperation agreeing with the interests” of their people, the North’s official Korean Central News Agency said Wednesday.
Donetsk’s foreign ministry has said its ambassador to Russia, Olga Makeeva, met with North Korean ambassador to Russia Sin Hong Chol in Moscow on July 29 to discuss economic cooperation. According to the ministry, Sin then said there would be “great potential” for bilateral cooperation in trade and the “field of labor migration” following North Korea’s easing of pandemic border controls.
North Korea is reportedly having similar discussions with Luhansk.
In 2017, Russia backed sanctions imposed by the U.N. Security Council in response to a North Korean long-range missile test that required member states to repatriate all North Korean workers from their territories within 24 months.
U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price last month criticized Russian suggestions that North Korean workers could be employed for restoration projects in Russian-occupied regions of Ukraine, saying that such arrangements would be “an affront to the sovereignty of Ukraine.”
Price was referring to comments by Russian Ambassador to North Korea Alexander Matsegora, who told the Tass news agency that North Korean construction workers would potentially provide “very serious help” in rebuilding the Donbas region.
Pushilin’s message to Kim was timed for the Aug. 15 anniversary of the Korean Peninsula’s liberation from Japanese colonial rule at the end of World War II. He congratulated Kim over the anniversary and insisted that the “people of the Donbas region, too, are fighting to regain their freedom and justice of history today just as the Korean people did 77 years ago,” KCNA said.
The report didn’t say whether Kim sent a message to Pushilin in response.
Luhansk and Donetsk together make up the Donbas region, a mostly Russian-speaking region of steel factories, mines and other industries in Ukraine’s east. Separatists have controlled parts of both provinces since 2014, but Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized their independence only shortly before Russia invaded Ukraine in February. Syria is the only other nation that has recognized their independence.
North Korea has repeatedly blamed the United States for the crisis in Ukraine, saying the West’s “hegemonic policy” justified Russian military actions in Ukraine to protect itself.
Kim has also been exploiting a division in the U.N. Security Council that has deepened over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to accelerate his weapons development as he tries to cement the North as a nuclear power and negotiate a removal of crippling U.S.-led sanctions from a position of strength.
North Korea has test-fired more than 30 missiles in 2022 alone, including its first flight test of an intercontinental ballistic missile in nearly five years. There are also indications the North is restoring tunnels at a nuclear testing site that was last active in 2017 in possible preparations to resume nuclear explosive tests. | https://www.localsyr.com/news/international/donetsk-leader-calls-for-beneficial-ties-with-north-korea/ | 2022-08-17T17:02:54Z | https://www.localsyr.com/news/international/donetsk-leader-calls-for-beneficial-ties-with-north-korea/ | true |

From weeding to WILD fame: Star of Netflix's VERY kinky 365 Days movies admits he finds heartthrob status 'weird' - as he reveals he was working as a GARDENER when he landed role that shot him to stardom
- Entitled The Next 365 Days, part three will premiere on Friday, and many people are excited for a chance to see the hunky Italian actor back on their screens
- However, others are not too thrilled that 365 Days - which got zero rating on Rotten Tomatoes - is getting another addition
- The first movie, which came out in June 2020, was heavily slammed by critics for 'romanticizing a dangerous relationship between a captor and victim'
- Despite bleak reviews, the film was heavily streamed and was in the platform's Top 10 watched list in 93 countries around the world for four straight weeks
- As for Michele, he's excited to reprise the role - dishing to GMA that the new movie is going to see his character, Massimo, face turmoil in his relationship
- According to the actor, he was propelled into the spotlight after starring in the first movie, and now, he can hardly walk down the street without being noticed
The Netflix star who sent women across the world wild when he burst onto the scene while appearing in the streaming site's incredibly raunchy movie 365 Days has laid bare his shock over his stratospheric rise to heartthrob status - revealing he was working as a gardener in Milan when he landed the role that shot him to fame.
Italian-born actor Michele Morrone, 31, was dubbed the 'sexiest man ever' by fawning Netflix viewers when he starred in the controversial movie as a mafia boss who kidnaps a woman he eventually falls in love with and marries.
While the 2020 Polish movie was panned by critics, given a zero rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and slammed for glorifying violence, Netflix subscribers went wild for it, pushing it to the top ten most-watched movies on the site across the globe.
Now, Michele has spilled on what fans can expect from the upcoming third instalment of the series during an appearance on Good Morning America, while opening up about how he has coped with his new-found stardom.
Michele Morrone, who starred in the trashy Netflix movie 365 Days, appeared on Good Morning America this morning to promote the upcoming third installment to the franchise
Entitled The Next 365, part three is set to hit the streaming site on Friday, August 19, and many people are excited for a chance to see the hunky Italian actor back on their screens
However, some are not too thrilled that 365 Days - which got zero rating on Rotten Tomatoes and was heavily slammed for glorifying violence - is getting another addition
As for Michele, he's excited to be reprising the role - dishing to the morning show that the new movie is going to see his character, Don Massimo Torricelli, face some turmoil in his marriage
According to the actor, the new movie - which premieres on August 19 - is going to see his character, Don Massimo Torricelli, face some turmoil in his marriage.
'Since the beginning, they had this very strong relationship, but in The Next 365 Days... there's another character trying to build up problems between them,' he explained. 'And Massimo isn't a very nice person when it comes to protecting his wife.'
The original movie first premiered in Poland in February 2020 and came to Netflix a few months later - in June 2020. The erotic thriller was directed by Barbara Białowąs and Tomasz Mandes and was based off a novel by Blanka Lipińska.
In the film, a sales director at a luxurious Warsaw hotel named Laura Biel (played by Anna-Maria Sieklucka), took a trip to Sicily with her boyfriend in a last attempt to save their relationship.
But she got kidnapped by Massimo, who has taken over the family business after his mafia boss father's assassination. Massimo held Laura captive and gave her 365 days to fall in love with him.
After its release, the movie gained worldwide attention and it divided viewers, with some describing it as the 'hottest thing ever' and comparing it to Fifty Shades of Grey - but raunchier.
At the time, many social media users raved about the R-rated sex scenes and steamy plot - but some critics claimed it glamorized abuse and 'romanticized a dangerous relationship between a captor and victim.'
Despite the backlash, the movie was in the service's Top 10 watched list in 93 countries around the world for four weeks after its release.
Forbes described it as 'the biggest movie to hit the streaming service in 2020,' with the outlet writing one month after it came out, 'The numbers show that 365 Days is on pace to rise above all other movies that have streamed on Netflix [this year].'
And according to Michele, he was propelled into the spotlight practically overnight, and now, he can hardly walk down the street without being noticed.

The movie star, who is now also a model, singer, and fashion designer, was working as a gardener in Italy before he got the part
He recalled receiving a call from the director while he was out in the garden, after the casting team came across a photo of him on his Instagram, adding that he never had to go audition
'I'm OK with it, living with this life. Sometimes it's a little too much because I need to breathe a little bit but it's part of the game,' he said on GMA.

He recalled receiving a call from the director while he was out in the garden, after the casting team came across a photo of him on his Instagram. He said they wanted him for the role before they met him in person, and that he never even had to go audition.
'I thought it was a joke,' he admitted. 'I didn't even really have the time to go do the casting because I was busy gardening.
'But the director was like, "No, I don't want to meet you at casting, I want you for the role." I was like, "Wow that's cool." It was such a surprise to me. It was so weird but I was super happy.'
After its release, many people slammed Netflix for adding the movie to its platform, with British singer Duffy even writing an open letter to the streaming site's CEO, Reed Hastings.
She blasted the network for 'eroticizing kidnapping and distorting sexual violence and trafficking as a "sexy" movie.'
'It grieves me that Netflix provides a platform for such "cinema,"' wrote Duffy, who that same year published her own account of being kidnapped and raped.
'Tragically, victims of trafficking and kidnapping are unseen, and yet in 365 Days, their suffering is made into a "erotic drama," as described by Netflix.'

Duffy noted that fans of the movie have recently been seen 'pleading' to Michele to kidnap them.
She continued: 'I encourage the millions who have enjoyed the movie to reflect on the reality of kidnapping and trafficking, of force and sexual exploitation, and of an experience that is the polar opposite of the glossy fantasy depicted.'
At the time, many social media users raved about the R-rated sex scenes and steamy plot - but some critics claimed it glamorized abuse and 'romanticized a dangerous relationship'
The singer urged the CEO to commit the company's resources to producing content about the global problem of kidnapping and sex trafficking, which the United Nations calls a 'grave violation of human rights.'
She closed her letter to Reed with the statement, 'When we know better, let us do better.'
In once scene of the movie, Laura was forced to watch Massimo be pleasured by another woman while she remained chained to a wall, wearing nothing but a dressing gown.
Another showed the couple engaging in some very-steamy intercourse on the mafia boss’ yacht after Massimo saved Laura’s life.
Shocked viewers also watched Laura being tied to a chair on a private jet while Massimo teased her, and later, they were seen enjoying a fiery exchange of words while naked with one another in the shower.

A spokesman for Netflix defended the movie at the time, pointing out that it was rated-R and warned viewers about violence, sex, and nudity.
He also stated that this was a Polish film that had been released theatrically in several countries months earlier, and that Netflix had licensed the film and was not involved in the production.
'We believe strongly in giving our members around the world more choice and control over their Netflix viewing experience,' the spokesperson said.
'Members can choose what they do and do not want to watch by setting maturity filters at a profile level and removing specific titles to protect from content they feel is too mature.'
The second film in the trilogy was released in April 2022, which saw the couple face complications after one of Massimo's ex-lovers entered the picture. Many viewers tuned in to watch it, and it gained almost 78 million hours of streaming within its first week.
Twitter seemed divided over the news that a third part one was on the way after the trailer came out earlier this month, with some people quickly sharing their dismay online.
'The third 365 days movie is coming out on Friday... When will it stop?' asked one user.

Another person added: 'I need to know who keeps green lighting the 365 days movies because they are all TERRIBLE.'
'Another 365 Days movie is coming out? Are we not tired yet?' read a fourth tweet.
However, others admitted that they were excited to tune in and see what happens next.
'Everybody kinda mad but I’m excited for the next 365 Days movie idk,' one person tweeted.
'I'm pumped,' a different user agreed, while someone else wrote, 'Did I think 365 Days was a very bad movie? Yes. Did I think the second part was even worse? Yes. Am I still gonna watch the third part? Also yes.'
'Who wants to watch the next 365 Days movie with me and criticize any and every scene we can and call it a date?' joked another user. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11120037/365-Days-star-Michele-Morrone-visits-Good-Morning-American-promote-upcoming-installment.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-08-17T17:04:43Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11120037/365-Days-star-Michele-Morrone-visits-Good-Morning-American-promote-upcoming-installment.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true |

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 40 organizations representing children, the environment, ethics, consumers, and health professionals today call on the Biden-Harris Administration to fill the vacancy of Chief Dental Officer of the Public Health Service with a new leader who will immediately stop the use of mercury dental fillings in children and pregnant women—then phase out its use entirely in federal programs. https://mercuryfreedentistry.files.wordpress.com/2022/08/civil-society-calls-for-new-policy-from-usphs-chief-dental-officer.pdf
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued Safety Recommendations on September 24, 2020, calling for the end of amalgam use in children, in young women, and in those with kidney and neurological conditions—but the holdover chief dental officers at the Department of Health and Human Services resist implementing it. Now the position of Chief Dental Officer of the Public Health Service is vacant, so civil society calls for Surgeon General Vivek Murthy and Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine to appoint a chief dental officer with views compatible with the Biden-Harris environmental justice initiatives.
"Mercury dental fillings for children and pregnant women should have ended in government programs two years ago, when FDA publicly stated that exposure is harmful," said Nse Witherspoon, Executive Director of the Children's Environmental Health Network. "It is astounding that chief dental officers at the Public Health Service refuse to implement the Safety Recommendation of sister agencies at the Department of Health and Human Services. One would think our government would be first, not last, to follow FDA warnings for non-use of a toxic product on children."
Noting that FDA has spoken loud and clear to end amalgam for children and for pregnant and breastfeeding women, the nation's most prominent dentist authority on ethics in health care, Dr. Rueben C. Warren, calls the failure of government agencies to comply "a clear and convincing violation of medical ethics." Dr. Warren, director of the National Center for Bioethics in Research and Health Care at Tuskegee University and former dean of the Meharry dental school, says, "Surgeon General Murthy and Assistant Secretary Levine must act immediately to appoint a chief dental officer committed to immediately stopping the placing of dental amalgam on all Tribal lands, military bases, prisons, and Medicaid programs." Tuskegee, the site of the egregious syphilis experiment on Black men, which historian analogize to Nazi-era racial atrocities, houses the nation's watchdog to avoid any semblance of its repetition.
"According to the World Health Organization, which cites a comprehensive European survey, 95% of consumers would choose mercury-free dentistry – either for health reasons, environmental reasons, or both," said Charles G. Brown of Consumers for Dental Choice. "Consumers do not want mercury-silver fillings – but federal bureaucracies defying the nation's science health regulator continue to hoist them onto the powerless recipients of federal programs like Indian Health, Department of Defense, and Bureau of Prisons."
In March, the Biden Administration helped spearhead an amendment to the Minamata Convention on Mercury which sets a new worldwide floor: the end of amalgam for children under 15 nor for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
"This Administration, a world leader in protecting the public from mercury exposure, must not let its own federal agencies, led by holdover chief dental officers, subvert the new global policy which ends amalgam placement in children," said Bobbi Wilding, Executive Director of Clean and Healthy New York. "Our nation's children deserve no less."

Thunderstorms helped produce a massive waterspout off the coast of Destin, Fla., on Tuesday, wowing people who saw video of the cool-looking weather phenomenon.
If you've never seen a waterspout before, you might think it's a tornado happening over water instead of land – and that's pretty much what is going on.
How waterspouts form
To understand the conditions needed to form a waterspout, according to the National Weather Service, you've got to understand vorticity, or an area of localized spin.
For vorticity to occur, winds from opposing directions have to meet over a small area — or you have increasing winds come from any direction.
"For example, a wind out of the west at the coastline and a wind out of the east 5 miles offshore would form a pool of vorticity in the immediate vicinity of the coast," the NWS Mobile location in Alabama said on Twitter.
There's usually a boundary between the two winds, and the stronger the winds are, the stronger the vorticity is, NWS Mobile said.
Next up, you need a wind shift, where the wind will change directions in a short period of time.
Then you add the water. A shower or storm in the area means there will be an updraft that can continue to feed "warm, moist air into the storm to develop [or] maintain the cumulus or cumulonimbus cloud," NWS Mobile said.
"This updraft can also act to pull any surface vorticity upwards if strong enough and located over a region of vorticity," NWS Mobile said. "If the vorticity is sufficiently stretched and likewise tightened up, then a waterspout can be formed. Think about an ice skater lifting their arms as they spin, helping to speed up the rate at which they spin."
The waterspout in Destin was stronger than normal
Conditions in Destin, including 10 to 20 mph winds and intense thunderstorms, contributed to the "spectacular results" that dazzled many.
"Typically they are not as extreme as this one, but even weaker storms can generate waterspouts if the basic ingredients are present," NWS Mobile said.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- King & Spalding announced today that Randy Mastro, a leading New York-based business litigator and trial lawyer, will join the firm as a partner in its Trial and Global Disputes practice group.
Mastro previously served as the Chair of the Litigation Practice at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher for more than 20 years and was a long-time member of both its Management and Executive Committees.
"Building our trial practice even more in New York is a cornerstone of our firm strategy. Bringing on Randy – an exceptional trial lawyer and proven leader – helps propel us further," said Robert D. Hays, the firm's Chairman. "Excellence, energy, entrepreneurship and collaborative growth are all hallmarks of our firm's culture. Randy ticks every one of those boxes and then some."
Mastro has tried dozens of cases in private practice and as a federal prosecutor and has also argued more than 100 appeals in federal and state appellate courts throughout the country. He routinely ranks among the nation's leading litigators and trial lawyers in prominent ranking directories and other prominent surveys of corporate counsel and other practitioners. Chambers USA recently named him "Trial Lawyer of the Year," and Law360 has recognized him as an "MVP" for trials.
"I have had the pleasure of partnering with so many great lawyers from King & Spalding over the years on cases we've handled together and won together. Now, I'm thrilled to become a partner there and help the firm expand its litigation and trial practices in New York and throughout the world," Mastro said. "I am a builder by nature and always have been, including at my departing firm, where we achieved exponential growth in New York and a legacy for all to be proud of. Now, I'm looking forward to this exciting opportunity to help King & Spalding grow in New York and elsewhere, continue to work among friends and colleagues dedicated to excellence and striving to be the best, and, from this shining platform, build an even brighter future."
Mastro has a diverse practice representing clients across many industries and categories of dispute. Among many high-profile matters, Mastro won a two-month RICO trial barring the enforcement of a $9 billion Ecuadorian judgment against Chevron that The American Lawyer called "The Case of the Century." He also won a month-long trial against the SEC, obtaining the dismissal of all charges against high-profile entrepreneur, Lynn Tilton, and thereby defeating the largest individual enforcement action the SEC ever brought before its in-house tribunal. He also led the successful effort to defeat New York City's controversial West Side Stadium project, and he represented the State of New Jersey's Governor's Office in conducting a high-profile investigation into allegations concerning the "Bridgegate" controversy. Over the past two years, he won breakthrough Supreme Court victories in COVID-related cases, overturning New York's fixed-capacity restrictions on "houses of worship" and the State's eviction moratorium – both "firsts" in convincing the Supreme Court to void such COVID regulations.
Mastro served as an Assistant United States Attorney and Deputy Chief of the Civil Division in the Southern District of New York, where he received the Attorney General's Distinguished Service Award, among other accolades. Mastro earned his undergraduate degree from Yale University and his J.D. from University of Pennsylvania.
Celebrating more than 130 years of service, King & Spalding is an international law firm that represents a broad array of clients, including half of the Fortune Global 100, with 1,200 lawyers in 23 offices in the United States, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The firm has handled matters in over 160 countries on six continents and is consistently recognized for the results it obtains, uncompromising commitment to quality, and dedication to understanding the business and culture of its clients.

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Former Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday implored fellow Republicans to stop lashing out at the FBI over the search of Donald Trump’s Florida home and denounced calls by some of the former president's allies to defund the FBI, saying that was “just as wrong” as a push by Democratic activists to shift money from police.
Pence also said he would give “due consideration” if asked to testify before the House committee investigating the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
His pleas for restraint come as law enforcement officials warn of an escalating number of violent threats targeting federal agents and government facilities since agents last week searched Mar-a-Lago as part of the Justice Department's investigation into the discovery of classified White House records recovered from Trump's estate earlier this year.
Speaking in New Hampshire, Pence was asked what went through his mind when he heard about the FBI search of Trump’s home. Pence, who like Trump is considering a 2024 presidential bid, said he has been troubled by what he called the politicization of the FBI. He also said the Justice Department and Attorney General Merrick Garland should be more forthcoming about what led authorities to conduct the search.
But Trump's former vice president also had a message for the GOP.
“I also want to remind my fellow Republicans, we can hold the attorney general accountable for the decision he made without attacking the rank-and-file law enforcement personnel at the FBI,” he said at the Politics & Eggs event at St. Anselm College.
“The Republican Party is the party of law and order,” Pence continued. “Our party stands with the men and women who stand on the thin blue line at the federal and state and local level, and these attacks on the FBI must stop. Calls to defund the FBI are just as wrong as calls to defund the police.”
Federal authorities and private extremism monitors have warned that a growing number of ardent Trump supporters seem ready to strike back against the FBI or others who, they believe, go too far in investigating the former president.
In Ohio, a man wearing body armor and armed with an assault rifle and a nail gun was shot and killed after trying to breach the FBI’s Cincinnati office. In Pennsylvania, a man was arrested after posting death threats against agents on social media.
FBI Director Christopher Wray had said that threats to agents and the Justice Department are "deplorable and dangerous.” The FBI has warned its agents to take precautions, citing an increase in social media threats to bureau personnel and facilities. Some GOP lawmakers and others are demanding that FBI be dismantled and defunded.
Pence, who has been strategically trying to distance himself from his ex-boss, prefaced his response by saying, "Look, it’s fairly well known that President Trump and I have had our differences.” Still, Pence has been careful to frequently cite the accomplishments of the “Trump-Pence administration,” hoping that he can appeal to voters who may have supported Trump’s policies but are put off by Trump's behavior.
Their paths diverged on Jan. 6, 2021, when a mob of angry Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in an effort to stop Congress' formal certification of Joe Biden's presidential victory. Trump denounced his vice president for refusing to object or delay the certification — something Pence had no power to do. A fake gallows was constructed on the National Mall, and people who broke into the Capitol chanted, “ Hang Mike Pence! Hang Mike Pence! ”
Pence had previously refused to say whether he would engage with the House committee investigating the insurrection if the panel requested his testimony. On Wednesday, he said he would consider it.
“If there was an invitation to participate, I would consider it,” Pence said, adding he would first reflect “on the unique role” he was serving as vice president.
“It would be unprecedented in history for a vice president to be summoned to testify on Capitol Hill, but as I said, I don’t want to prejudge,” he said. “If ever any formal invitation was rendered to us, we’d give it due consideration.” | https://www.king5.com/article/news/nation-world/pence-jan-6/507-d23efb94-e303-4a12-a018-55d908ad0ac0 | 2022-08-17T17:14:23Z | https://www.king5.com/article/news/nation-world/pence-jan-6/507-d23efb94-e303-4a12-a018-55d908ad0ac0 | true |

DALLAS (KDAF) — When checking out areas for new homes, everyone looks at cities, counties and states to see what the move is for their next move, but what about zip codes?
Two Texas zip codes have found themselves among the top 50 hottest zip codes for high buyer demand and fast-selling homes according to realtor.com. “The hottest areas are those that have high demand from buyers, in other words, lots of unique viewers per each property listed for sale, and fast-selling homes, an indicator of limited supply.”
Coming in at No. 44 is 75060 (Irving) and rounding out the list at No. 50 is 79934 (El Paso); these were the only two Texas zip codes on the list.
Irving:
- Viewers per property vs. US: 2.5
- Median days on market: 18
- June 2022 median listing price: $339,000
El Paso:
- Viewers per property vs. US: 2

Benjamin Mendy told a woman 'I'm not going to put it in' as he attempted to rape her, a court has heard.
Manchester City defender Mendy is on trial charged with eight counts of rape, one count of attempted rape and one count of sexual assault. He denies all charges.
On the third day of the trial, the jury at Chester Crown Court heard details of an alleged attack on a 29-year-old woman in October 2018, for which he is charged with attempted rape.
A video-recorded police interview with the woman was shown to the jury on Wednesday with prosecutor Timothy Cray QC telling jurors the woman made a complaint to police after seeing media coverage about Mr Mendy last year.
He said that she turned up at a police station and told officers Mendy had ‘exposed his penis’ to her before pulling her on to a bed and ‘trying to sit her down and pulling her on to his lap’.
The woman had joined Mendy, his friends and others at a restaurant where they played drinking games before heading to two nightclubs, the court heard.
The woman was with Mendy's friend at the second of the clubs when Mendy is claimed to have told her: "When he is not looking, I'm going to kidnap you." The woman told police during her statement made at Walworth Police Station in January 2022: "I thought he was joking."
She said she was "drunk but aware" by the time she eventually returned to Mendy's home in Cheshire, known as The Spinney, later that evening.
The woman claimed she was taking a shower the next morning and was "completely nude" and had music playing, when Mendy is alleged to have walked into the bathroom.
The woman said she saw Mendy enter the room "out the corner of my eye" and told him "he had to leave" but he "held himself in his private area". She wrapped herself in a towel and tried to grab some underwear "to protect myself", but claims Mendy "kept obstructing me", as she alleges there was a continued back and forth for around 20 minutes.
“He kept forcing himself to see me and take off my towel,” the woman tells the police officer in the video shared with the court. “I kept pushing him away to the point where he kept grabbing me back.”
Timothy Cray QC, prosecuting, said the woman told officers: “He pulled his boxers down to his thighs to expose his penis. He pulled her down to the bed and started to sit her down and hold her on his lap.”
“I just kept trying to push him off. He kept pulling me down. We fell into the spoon position," the woman says in the video. “That’s when he took off his boxers. He had his penis near as if almost to penetrate.
“He was saying things like ‘are you scared? You don’t have to be scared’. He said ‘I’m not going to do anything, I’m not going to put it in’.
“I just kept trying to wriggle out. He got very close but I pushed him away as much as I could. I just kept thinking, ‘Where are his friends? Why are they not here? Should I scream? What am I going to do?"
“I did not scream because I did not understand what was going on,” she adds. “I just tried to struggle my way out of it.”
The woman told police she did not remember how the situation ended but quickly gathered her things, got dressed and left the house to call a taxi. Mendy then allegedly told her he would get a driver to take her. “It was just embarrassing. I just wanted to get out of there.”
Mendy stands accused of eight counts of rape, one count of attempted rape and one count of sexual assault. He denies all charges.
He is currently standing trial alongside co-defendant Louis Saha Matturie, 41, who has also pleaded not guilty to charges of eight counts of rape and four counts of sexual assault between July 2012 and August 2021.
The trial continues. | https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/benjamin-mendy-trial-man-city-27767040 | 2022-08-17T17:17:42Z | https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/benjamin-mendy-trial-man-city-27767040 | false |

An east Alabama man is behind bars after authorities say he inappropriately touched a young teen multiple times over the past year.
James Herman Pippen, 53, is charged with eight counts of second-degree sexual abuse, said Valley Police Chief Mike Reynolds. He was arrested Tuesday.
The investigation began in July when a 14-year-old girl reported that Pippen for the past year had touched her at least eight times at various locations in the Valley area. Pippen is known to the victim’s family, but they are not related, Reynolds said.
Investigators carried out a search warrant at Pippen’s home. They seized several phones, computers and video tapes/discs for analysis.
No additional information has been released.
Pippen is being held in the Chambers County Detention Facility.
Reynolds said the Children’s Advocacy Center and the District Attorney’s Office of the Fifth Judicial Circuit assisted in the investigation. | https://www.al.com/news/birmingham/2022/08/east-alabama-man-charged-with-inappropriately-touching-young-teen-girl-multiple-times.html | 2022-08-17T17:22:13Z | https://www.al.com/news/birmingham/2022/08/east-alabama-man-charged-with-inappropriately-touching-young-teen-girl-multiple-times.html | true |
Jon Daniels is out as president of baseball operations for the Texas Rangers after 17 years leading the club.
Team owner Ray Davis said Wednesday that Daniels was being relieved of his duties immediately after the decision was made not to renew his contract at the end of this season.
Daniels’ departure came two days after manager Chris Woodward was fired in his fourth season.
Daniels was the youngest general manager ever in the majors when he got the job with the Rangers at age 28 in October 2005. He added the title of president of baseball operations in 2013, and held both titles until Chris Young was brought in as the team's general manager in December 2020.
“Jon’s accomplishments in his 17 years running our baseball operations department have been numerous. ... His impact on the growth of our player development, scouting, and analytics groups has been immense. Jon has always had the best interests of the Rangers organization in mind on and off the field and in the community," Davis said. “But the bottom line is we have not had a winning record since 2016 and for much of that time, have not been competitive in the AL West division."
The Rangers made their only World Series appearances in 2010 and 2011, then won AL West titles again in 2015 and 2016. But they are on pace for their sixth consecutive losing record, the franchise's longest such streak since moving to Texas a half-century ago.

Mother charged with murder after leaving child in a hot car, sheriff says
LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC/Gray News) – A woman was charged with second-degree murder after being accused of leaving her 6-month-old daughter in a hot car for five hours, according to authorities.
The baby’s mother, Ivy Lee, 22, flagged down an off-duty deputy Sunday afternoon and told him her daughter, Carissa Lewis, wasn’t breathing, Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Kayla Vincent said.
The off-duty deputy and another deputy who was patrolling the area performed life-saving measures on the baby.
Carissa was taken to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Her preliminary cause of death is heat-related, KPLC reported.
Lee originally told detectives that the child was not in her care. She later told detectives that she left the child in her SUV for around five hours at her workplace, Vincent said.
“She stated that she initially left the car running, but a co-worker later told her the car was later running, and she turned her vehicle off,” Chief Deputy Gary Guillory said.
She told authorities she thought the baby was sleeping.
“Ultimately she stated that she left the child in her car while she went to work from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.,” Guillory said.
The sheriff’s office said the Department of Children and Family Services has had prior contact with Lee after she was accused of abandoning another child in a hot car in 2019.
“Yes, DCFS was involved in the case. They were called out, but during the course of the investigation, the mother voluntarily gave us that baby before the state had to get involved,” Guillory said.
Lee’s sister, Ashley Lee, has custody of her first child, Avery.
She said her sister’s relationship with the family and her children was strained. She said they tried to help with Carissa and encouraged Ivy Lee to finish her classes with family services.
Carissa’s father said he was unaware of Ivy Lee’s previous criminal charge concerning her other child, KPLC reported.
Ivy Lee is being held in lieu of a $1.2 million bond.

HOUSTON — Parents, we asked about your concerns going into the new school year. Overwhelmingly, you told us you are worried about school safety.
We all want safe schools for our kids. But what do safe schools look like? We spoke with architects Jay Brotman and Karina Ruiz to get their insight.
Brotman, a managing partner at Svigals + Partners, has designed schools for nearly 30 years. He was tasked with laying out the new Sandy Hook School after the shooting that took the lives of 20 students and six teachers.
"This was a situation where nobody knew where to go. It was a community in distress," Brotman said. "After an incident like this, and it happens all over, the first reaction for everybody is to build a fortress and put our kids inside this fortress."
The new Sandy Hook Elementary School building, which opened in 2016, is the opposite of a fortress.

"We turned the equation around to: what is the best school that you could have for your children? And then let's make it safe," Brotman said.
He did that using an approach called Crime Prevention through Environmental Design – or CPTED, for short. The principles address natural access control, natural surveillance, territoriality, activity support and maintenance.
"CPTED principles will help you design a school with a layering, not a hardening, but a layering of security elements that will make the school actually safer for the students," Brotman said.
Those layers can be shrubs around the perimeter of the property, separate parking lots for staff and visitors, a water garden in front of the school and more windows.
"You change your whole attitude because this natural environment is right there in front of you," Brotman said. "It just so happens it makes the school very, very safe."
Ruiz, a principal at BRIC Architecture, said it's all about creating a space with a balance of safety and belonging.
"I am truly a believer that when you're designing a school in the right way, it is and should always be both," she said.
Schools can be both and still be different, depending on the kids they serve and, too often, the trauma suffered by the community.
"I would just encourage communities to ensure that fear doesn't become the primary driver of design," Ruiz said.
Digital anchor Brandi Smith spoke to Brotman and Ruiz at length, including about what it will take to turn all the existing U.S. schools into safe, but comfortable spaces.

National Thrift Shop Day 2022: Smart tips for saving money today
Commemorate the day with a trip to your local thrift store
Do you love a good deal?
Well, you’re in luck: Wednesday, August 17, 2022, is National Thrift Shop Day 2022.
Thrift shops, popular during other periods of time, are again rising in popularity amid high inflation and the struggles within many families to afford what they need.
SHOPPERS DECRY ‘SKYROCKETING’ INFLATION: ‘IT’S OUTRAGEOUS'
"Thrifting" is a term coined to reflect the way people go from thrift shop to thrift shop as they try to find the best deals on all things from clothing to unique antiques.
National Thrift Shop Day 2022 is a good opportunity to visit your local thrift shop.
But here’s the catch: Thrifting is all about timing.
THE SECRETS OF SAVING MONEY ON BACK-TO-SCHOOL ITEMS TODAY'S HIGH INFLATION
With donations and shipments from other shops arriving daily, thrift shops are consistently moving and changing their inventory.
So be sure to check your thrift store often when looking for something specific.
Additionally, don’t forget to donate to your local thrift store.
Instead of reselling to a secondhand store or through a garage sale, donate to the thrift store.
The only way thrift stores can turn inventory and continue to have product is by consistently receiving donations from the community.
Whether you choose to donate or go on a treasure hunt on this day (or this weekend, or any time that thrift stores are open), celebrate the occasion at a local business.
Shopping locally will help not only the store itself, but also your community.
BACK-TO-SCHOOL SUPPLIES: 10 SECRETS OF SAVING MONEY AMID HIGH INFLATION
With today's high inflation and back-to-school shopping at its height, shopping locally might be the best way to get more bang for the buck.
"Consignment stores, thrift stores and secondhand sites are a great way to get like-new items for a fraction of the price," said Trae Bodge, smart shopping expert at truetrae.com.
"This works really well for younger kids, especially as they don’t tend to be as particular as teens," she said.
This is also a great time to get started on your holiday shopping.
Thrift store finds can be rare, so if you see a great gift for a friend or family member, grab it and save some stress during the holiday shopping rush.

Sculptors begin construction of the 54th Annual Butter Sculpture at the New York State Fairgrounds
SYRACUSE, N.Y., Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 800 pounds of butter has arrived at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse, N.Y., as construction of one of Central New York's best-kept secrets and most beloved attractions gets underway – the 54th Annual American Dairy Association North East Butter Sculpture, sponsored by Wegmans.
Sculptors Jim Victor and Marie Pelton unpacked the butter and their tools and have begun work on the sculpture. The butter comes from Batavia, N.Y.-based producer O-AT-KA Milk Products.
The butter used for the sculpture is out of specification for retail sale for a variety of reasons, so American Dairy Association North East works with the sculptors to put it to good use by creating a beautiful piece of art that thousands enjoy.
Even after the Fair, the butter doesn't go to waste. Instead, it will be sent to Noblehurst Farms, a dairy farm in Pavilion, N.Y., where it will be recycled into renewable energy in a digester along with other food waste.
"I really love that this iconic attraction repurposes butter not just once, but twice – first by turning unusable product into an artistic sculpture, and then after the fair, by recycling it into renewable energy on a dairy farm," says John Chrisman, CEO, American Dairy Association North East. "I encourage fairgoers to visit the Dairy Products Building and see the annual Butter Sculpture that always pays tribute to our hardworking dairy farm families who work 365 days a year to sustainably and responsibly produce milk."
American Dairy Association North East will unveil the 54th Annual Butter Sculpture to the media and live on their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/AmericanDairyNE/ on Tuesday, August 23rd, the day before the Fair officially opens. It will then be on display in the Dairy Products Building for the duration of the 13-day Fair.

(NewsNation) — The Internal Revenue Service’s budget is set to increase by nearly $80 billion over the next decade as part of Senate Democrats’ new climate, health and tax plan that President Joe Biden signed Tuesday.
The majority of that funding, about $45.6 billion, will go toward tax enforcement efforts. This will mostly be in the form of additional staff who will be focused on auditing the wealthiest Americans, according to Democratic lawmakers.
Under the new package, estimates suggest the IRS could hire as many as 87,000 employees over the next 10 years, but that total is not limited to auditors.
Republican lawmakers were quick to criticize the plan, claiming that an increase in IRS agents focused on enforcement will lead to more burdensome tax audits for middle-class Americans.
But the Biden administration has pushed back on that narrative, insisting that those who make under $400,000 a year won’t be more likely to face an audit than in recent years. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, whose department oversees the IRS, echoed that assurance last week.
“The IRS has essentially been decimated over the last decade and it’s to the detriment of regular taxpayers and to the benefit of people who are cheating the system,” said Seth Hanlon, a senior fellow and tax expert at the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank.
Hanlon believes the new funding will help close the tax gap — the average annual value of unpaid federal taxes — and modernize an agency that has become known for its terrible customer service.
In tax year 2019, just under 84% of taxes owed were actually paid or collected, resulting in nearly $554 billion in unpaid taxes, according to the Treasury Department.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates the renewed emphasis on enforcement will bring in an additional $204 billion in revenue, a net savings of $124 billion. Other estimates suggest the real revenue impact may be closer to $400 billion.
The new package is expected to plug holes in an agency that has seen its budget decline more than 15% over the past 10 years, even as the number of people filing taxes has increased.
What are the 87,000 new hires for?
About 80,000 people work for the IRS today. Add another 87,000 employees and that means the IRS is set to double its staff over the next 10 years, right? Not quite.
Enforcement staffing has fallen by 30% since 2010 and the agency has lost approximately 50,000 agents over the past five years due to attrition, according to the IRS.
For that reason, many of the new hires will fill existing vacant positions. In fact, the IRS estimates that it will need to hire an additional 52,000 employees over the next six years just to maintain current staffing levels.
Along with enforcement staff, the IRS plans to hire customer service representatives to help taxpayers navigate the system and IT professionals to update outdated computer systems.
The agency hasn’t said specifically how many people it intends to hire with the new funding. The 87,000 number comes from a Treasury Department estimate in a report from May 2021.
Audits of the wealthy have declined in recent years
Audit rates for all income levels have dropped since 2010, but data shows those declines are especially pronounced among the wealthy.
The audit rate for Americans making more than $5 million a year fell from 16% in 2010 to just over 2% in 2019, according to a recent report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
That decline reflects a lack of resources, said Hanlon, who noted that auditing those with higher earnings tends to be far more complex.
“These audits are extremely technical and complicated and the IRS — especially with a lot of retirements of their most experienced personnel — badly lacks the ability to thoroughly audit wealthy people and large corporations,” he said.
The GAO’s analysis found that audits for those making $5 million or more have become increasingly time-consuming over the past decade.
The average number of hours spent per audit for those making $5 million or more went from 20 hours in 2010 to nearly 60 hours in 2021.
Others more skeptical
Other experts predict those making less than $400,000 will have to face more audits in order to meet the revenue projections, casting doubt on the Biden administration’s promises.
“Returning to 2010 audit rates for all individuals making over $400,000 would generate only 28%, or $9.9 billion, out of the estimated $35.3 billion in new IRS enforcement revenues in 2031,” wrote Rachel Greszler, a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.
The same GAO report that found a declining audit rate for wealthy Americans over the past decade also determined that between 2010 and 2021, “the majority of the total amount of recommended additional tax came from audits of taxpayers with incomes below $200,000.”
It remains to be seen whether the IRS can achieve the forecasted revenue gains without increasing audit rates among those who make less than $400,000. | https://www.fox16.com/news/national-news/is-the-irs-about-to-double-in-size-not-exactly/ | 2022-08-17T17:43:27Z | https://www.fox16.com/news/national-news/is-the-irs-about-to-double-in-size-not-exactly/ | true |

"When we started the company in 2013, one of our early goals was to make the Inc. 5000 list, and after nine years, we're humbled to post 240% growth, especially with a pandemic year during the period," said Brock Berry, CEO, and Co-Founder of AdCellerant.

- 79 in Colorado

Care orchestration leader recognized as most valuable technical innovation for work with NYC Health + Hospitals in automating care coordination for COVID-19
BOSTON, Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumeon, the care orchestration leader, received a Gold Stevie® Award today as the most valuable technical innovation in the 19th Annual International Business Awards®.
Lumeon's automated care orchestration platform integrates real-time data, applies clinical knowledge, and employs intelligent automation to orchestrate care based on the individual needs of each patient, alleviating the burden on clinicians and staff, who otherwise coordinate care manually. The Lumeon platform dramatically enhances clinician and staff productivity while enhancing care team efficiency and reducing operating costs.
Among the award judges' comments:
- Quite inspiring technical innovation, supporting a great cause. I am impressed by the clarity and creativity of your innovation, the achievements supported with strong evidence. Brilliant!
- Great solution during challenging times, and demonstrating actual, quantitative results
- The nominee has contributed significantly to the fight against Covid-19. They were able to provide a scalable solution to mitigate the influx of patients in hospitals and help triage effectively
- Precisely the kind of solution needed at the height of the pandemic. I hope this model would be available also to other emerging countries where there is a spike of cases. Imagine the impact it could have to HC management and response
"Our care orchestration platform throws a lifeline to clinicians and care teams facing endless, time-consuming manual tasks and workflows, which inhibit them from delivering the most value to their patients," said Greg Miller, chief growth officer of Lumeon. "We're honored to receive the prestigious Stevie Award, which affirms our leadership in automated care coordination."
To help health systems better manage the surge of incoming patients during COVID-19, Lumeon developed a remote home monitoring solution, designed for patients that presented at the ED with COVID symptoms and even tested positive for the virus, but whose oxygen saturation levels did not warrant hospital admission. Upon discharge from the ED, patients self-enrolled in the Lumeon-powered solution for New York City Health & Hospitals, which sent secure text messages to them every 12-24 hours to assess symptoms. Lumeon initially worked with NYC Health + Hospitals on the initiative and deployed the solution in only eight days.
Lumeon also powered a solution, integrated with the health system's Epic EHR platform, designed to combat the 20% to 40% no-show and late cancellation rates experienced during the height of the pandemic. By supporting patient communication preferences in multiple languages and flagging cancellations in the EHR, the solution streamlined the care coordination process and alleviated care team manual tasks. It helped reduce the hospitals' no-show rate by 29%, contributing to approximately $18.2 million in projected revenue gains.
The International Business Awards are the world's premier business awards program. All individuals and organizations worldwide – public and private, for-profit, and non-profit, large, and small – are eligible to submit nominations. The 2022 IBAs received entries from organizations in 67 nations and territories.
Winners will be celebrated during a gala banquet October 15 at the InterContinental London Park Lane Hotel – the first live IBA awards ceremony since 2019. Details about The International Business Awards and the lists of Stevie Award winners are available at www.StevieAwards.com/IBA
Lumeon believes that care better coordinated is care better delivered. Lumeon is a digital health company that provides a cloud-based care orchestration platform that automates the tasks, workflow, activities, and events that occur during the process of coordinating care. With real-time, bi-directional data/system integration and the dynamic application of clinical intelligence and automation, Lumeon ensures that each patient receives the right care at the right time – every time. By automating care coordination, care teams deliver care faster, more efficiently, effectively, and consistently across the continuum of care, while also empowering clinicians and staff to work at the tops of their licenses and spend time with patients that need it most.
Stevie Awards are conferred in eight programs: the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards, the German Stevie Awards, the Middle East & North Africa Stevie Awards, The American Business Awards®, The International Business Awards®, the Stevie Awards for Women in Business, the Stevie Awards for Great Employers, and the Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service. Stevie Awards competitions receive more than 12,000 nominations each year from organizations in more than 70 nations. Honoring organizations of all types and sizes and the people behind them, the Stevies recognize outstanding performances in the workplace worldwide.

- UVeye joins with Tekion to integrate automated vehicle-inspection systems with the latest artificial intelligence-powered Automotive Retail Cloud
- General Motors dealership network will be the first to utilize the Tekion integration
DETROIT, Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- – UVeye is integrating its advanced vehicle-inspection systems with Tekion's end-to-end cloud-native platform, Automotive Retail Cloud (ARC).
The two technology companies are joining forces following UVeye's recent collaboration with General Motors. The collaborative effort will enable dealers that utilize Tekion's ARC to benefit from the seamless integration of UVeye systems.
"Our partnership with Tekion is just one of many steps UVeye is taking to improve and revolutionize the customer-service experience at dealerships through unprecedented levels of transparency," says Amir Hever, the company's CEO and co-founder.
By combining UVeye's AI-powered vehicle scanning devices with Tekion's innovative cloud-native software, service customers and dealership employees will be able to receive comprehensive vehicle-condition reports instantaneously. The reports are designed to provide clarity and enhance the customer-service experience by helping users decide on the best service solutions possible.
Customers simply can drive through UVeye scanning units at the entrance of the dealership service department. Detailed reports then are delivered via text message, email or through Tekion's personalized consumer portal in ARC. Not only can the reports eliminate guesswork, but they also build customer trust through transparency.
Carl Black Chevrolet, Buick, GMC of Kennesaw, Georgia, is the first GM dealer to integrate UVeye's advanced vehicle-inspection systems with Tekion's game-changing Automotive Retail Cloud.
"We're incredibly excited to be collaborating with Tekion to provide an extraordinary experience for dealership customers across the country in the coming months," notes Hever. "With our integration into Tekion's ARC, GM customers and dealerships now can benefit from stronger and more transparent relationships from the data we provide both parties. It's a win-win for everyone."
The UVeye product suite includes three AI-driven systems that can detect mechanical issues such as fluid leaks and component and body damage as well as missing parts or modifications. They also can measure tire-tread depth, detect uneven wear and read sidewall information.

New charges may signal a more expansive effort to weed out Russian sockpuppet orgs for influencing elections & public opinion, right and left. ["failure to register as a foreign agent"]
13 Russians charged by Mueller in absentia 4 years ago, but this one seems to point higher up the RU food chain plus charges Americans as well.
The presence of investigation in Tampa (thoselcharging Black Hammer ATL as well) instead of SDNY may also signal a broader effort or different regional approach (good morning, Mr. DeSantis - nice hotbed of dissent you got there, would be a shame to see it go belly up)

Twitter has made the WaPo Gaetz hot mike story a 'news event'
1 hour ago
Hot mic captured Gaetz assuring Stone of pardon, discussing Mueller redactions
As Roger Stone prepared to stand trial in 2019, complaining he was under pressure from federal prosecutors to incriminate Donald Trump, a close ally of the president repeatedly assured Stone that “the boss” would likely grant him clemency if he were convicted, a recording shows. At an event at a Trump property that October, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) predicted that Stone would be found guilty at his trial in Washington the following month but would not “do a day” in prison. Gaetz was apparently unaware they were being recorded by documentary filmmakers following Stone.

Mho this is VERY well framed:
He always cared more about 'ratings' than real governing, but has now totally gone over to a fantasy land presidential campaign. For him this is now all about winning the most 'fans' and admirers on the right, not about having the job of president. While the fight about the presidency is currently still useful, he doesn't necessarily need that, he can turn around and use an alternative, like, say, representing the worst case scenario of the Deep State coming after you, the ultimate victim, but he is the one superhero savior who can fight back. It always comes down to 'ratings' for this man, it was never simply about politics.
by artappraiser on Sat, 07/30/2022 - 2:47pm
P.S. consider this: when push comes to shove, he may realize that he really doesn't want the job of president as he once deluded himself that he did. Look at how he despised all those minions who pestered him with actual presidential duties and how he paid no real attention to what his cabinet secretaries were doing, caring only if they reflected well on him. Look at how he spent 1/6, shut up in his dining room, enthralled watching his fans fight for him on the teevee and loathe to deal with it in any real way! Look at him trying to record that video and Ivanka struggling with getting him to use certain words. He is not so much thinking 'coup tactics" all he really cares about is not discouraging the fans from continuing to fight for him. He even uses the famous celeb words to fans "we love you"

It’s up to the Justice Department to decide if this is a crime. But as a matter of principle, as a matter of character, Trump has proven himself unworthy to be this country’s chief executive again.

Representative Scott Perry says the F.B.I. seized his cellphone.
Luke Broadwater @NYTimes.com,Aug. 9, 2022, 7:50 p.m. ET
WASHINGTON — The F.B.I. on Tuesday seized the cellphone of Representative Scott Perry, Republican of Pennsylvania and the chairman of the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus, according to the congressman’s office.
Mr. Perry, who has been issued a subpoena by the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, said three F.B.I. agents seized his phone Tuesday morning while he was traveling with family.
“They made no attempt to contact my lawyer, who would have made arrangements for them to have my phone if that was their wish,” Mr. Perry said in a statement. “I’m outraged — though not surprised — that the F.B.I., under the direction of Merrick Garland’s D.O.J., would seize the phone of a sitting member of Congress.”
His statement was reported earlier by Fox News.
Mr. Perry compared the seizure of his cellphone to the F.B.I.’s search of former President Donald J. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property Monday, in which agents took out boxes of materials after an all-day search related to an investigation into the mishandling of White House documents.
“My phone contains info about my legislative and political activities, and personal/private discussions with my wife, family, constituents and friends. None of this is the government’s business,” Mr. Perry said. “As with President Trump last night, D.O.J. chose this unnecessary and aggressive action instead of simply contacting my attorneys. These kinds of banana republic tactics should concern every citizen.”
It was not immediately clear why the F.B.I. had seized Mr. Perry’s phone. A spokeswoman for the congressman did not respond right away to a follow-up question, and the Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Mr. Perry has refused to appear before the Jan. 6 committee, and his lawyer has argued that there was “nothing improper” about his actions during the buildup to the attack on the Capitol.
In the weeks after the 2020 election, Mr. Perry was among at least 11 members of Congress who were involved in discussions with White House officials about overturning the election, including plans to pressure Vice President Mike Pence to throw out electoral votes from states won by President Biden, according to the committee. Mr. Perry also endorsed the idea of encouraging supporters to march to the Capitol, the committee has said.
A member of Congress since 2013, Mr. Perry also compiled a dossier of voter fraud allegations and coordinated a plan to try to replace the acting attorney general, who was resisting Mr. Trump’s attempts to overturn the election, with a more compliant official.
Mr. Perry is not the only ally of Mr. Trump whose phone has been seized in recent weeks. In June, federal agents seized the phone of John Eastman, the conservative lawyer who advised Mr. Trump on strategies to overturn the election.

DOJ moves to unseal warrant that led to FBI search of Trump’s Florida home, AG Garland says
@ Twitter events. Aug. 11
The US Department of Justice announced on Thursday that it is moving forward with unsealing the search warrant and itemized receipt of what was taken from former president Donald Trump’s residence at his Mar-a-Largo Club in Palm Beach, Florida, during an FBI search of the property earlier this week. It was Attorney General Merrick Garland’s first public statement since Monday’s search and the first public acknowledgment that the department is actively investigating Trump’s handling of classified presidential records.
by artappraiser on Thu, 08/11/2022 - 5:17pm
and that works with this, where anything "bad" will have been planted:
Former US President Donald Trump has said he will not oppose the release of the warrant that let FBI agents search his Mar-a-Lago home earlier this week.
In a statement, Mr Trump said he was encouraging its "immediate release" - but repeated his claim the search was unnecessary and politically motivated....

a little digression, a reminder that on 1/6/21, while basically live blogging on the action on Dagblog, I said something like 'they've been inspired by the BLM defund/abolish protesters." And I got tons of shit from NCD and rmrd that they have nothing to do with each other (both of whom were also supporting the narrative that if they were Black, the evil Capitol Police would shoot them). I got good support from oceankat, who sensibly realized that it was all, both things about RULE OF LAW and society having the forces to support it.
Here you go. You either hate the idea of cops or you don't:

Judge Denies Trump Executive’s Request to Dismiss Manhattan Tax Case
Allen H. Weisselberg, who was indicted last summer, and the Trump Organization are scheduled to stand trial in October.
By Jonah E. Bromwich, Ben Protess, William K. Rashbaum and Lola Fadulu @ NYTimes.com, Aug. 12, 2022, 10:38 a.m. ET
A Manhattan state court judge on Friday declined to throw out the criminal case against Donald J. Trump’s family business and its longtime chief financial officer, Allen H. Weisselberg, clearing the way for a trial in the case scheduled for the fall.
Mr. Weisselberg and the business, the Trump Organization, were charged last year by the Manhattan district attorney’s office with having engaged in a 15-year scheme in which executives were compensated with hidden benefits so that they could evade taxes. The charges stemmed from the office’s long-running investigation into the company’s business practices.
In February, Mr. Weisselberg and the company filed motions to dismiss the charges, arguing that the case was politically motivated and that the defendants were charged only because of their link with former president Donald J. Trump.
The decision marked the latest legal blow to Mr. Trump in a week full of them.
On Monday, the F.B.I. searched his Florida home in connection with an unrelated criminal investigation. And on Wednesday the former president invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in an interview with the New York state attorney general, which is conducting a civil inquiry into some of the same practices that are being examined by the Manhattan district attorney.
The judge, Juan Merchan, granted a significant victory to the district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg. His prosecutors argued in May, in response to the motion to dismiss, that there was nothing extraordinary about the charges: Mr. Weisselberg had violated the law in failing to pay his taxes and was being prosecuted for it, they said.
“Over the course of the period charged in the indictment, Weisselberg evaded payment of taxes on a total of $1.7 million in income,” they wrote in a memo filed with the court. “Such illegal conduct is regularly prosecuted and this office would have been remiss not to have done so here.”
Justice Merchan dismissed one count of criminal tax fraud against the Trump Organization and its affiliated payroll company, letting stand 14 of the 15 counts in the indictment against the business and all of the counts against Mr. Weisselberg. The prosecutors had conceded in May that the count should be dismissed because of issues with the statute of limitations [....]

'Taste of his own medicine': Plane flies ‘Ha Ha Ha' banner over Trump's Mar-a-Lago home
Natalie Neysa Alund USA TODAY, Aug. 11-12, 2022
A Florida man on Wednesday commissioned a plane to pull a sky banner with the message "Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha" and fly over Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home as supporters of the former president rallied outside to protest this week's FBI search of the home.
Miami resident Thomas Kennedy told USA TODAY on Thursday that he and a handful of friends paid $1,800 to fly the banner for four hours Wednesday near Trump's estate in Palm Beach.
"We thought it would be funny," said Kennedy, a self-professed Trump critic and Democratic activist. "From our perspective, Trump is a bully, and we wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine." [....]

Trump is effing brilliant for what he does. People who lose track of that are simply retarded
It's not so much that we are simply retarded. It's more that we're not very good at understanding how the simply retarded think.
by ocean-kat on Tue, 08/16/2022 - 12:01am
yez. thank you for piping up cause more and more I am going with the simply retarded angle. I was just thinking on that after looking at pictures of him in Helsinki with Putin; Putin got him acting like a chastised little kid. Kim Jong Un and Saudis wrap him around their fingers. Looking at pictures of him with EU leaders, it's like they are mystified by a village fool and don't know how to handle him. He's got an intuitive feel for what's offensive to the "simply retarded" on the culture wars/politically-correct front but it's not like even Lee Atwater level. In the 90's he'd call the gossip columnists in NYC and say he was John Barron with a hot tip, they all knew it was him but would have to pretend they didn't. The balloons of a baby Trump in a diaper resounded for a reason. Rex Tillerson, a quintessential CEO- establishment Republican type who would at the same time understand at least some basic marketing to the masses really pegged it: fucking moron.
The fans are mostly morons who are sick as hell of being talked down to by elites and he knows how to humor them because he is one, there is nothing genius level at his rallies, they are moronic
by artappraiser on Tue, 08/16/2022 - 3:51am
Trump does have his rabid supporters but I wonder how many republicans voted for him thinking, he may be a moron but he's our moron. Everyone I know hates Biden but they still all voted for him. Not me, as I said before. I feel defeated on the political forum. We've lost so much so often. I've lost all hope. I'm retired on a beautiful 10 acres of land with my dogs. I just want to live in peace and bucolic simplicity with my dogs. I've dropped out but I can't help myself from still watching the show.

It's not genius it's just being an alternative to what the Dems have become to 7% since they abandoned Bill Clinton's DNC. approach. They were approving he was better than having a Dem president. They tell the focus groups that "it would be even better if he quit with the Twitter" They don't like the behavior, but they like the results.
Look, Bill Clinton had the 65% approval rating all through his 2nd term.
33% ultra conservative voters have been a given nationally out whole lifetime!
It's no genius to get an extra 7% to get to 40%. Its genius to get 60%
My successful real estate business brother convinced my GenX brother that Trump, tho dumb, is better than the alternative, delivers the results you want. Loves DeSantis,. Both loathe political correctness, always have. New is they won't register as Republicans, they think the liberal media distorts and/or lies and Dems have become too socialist and try to regulate everything. He's the one who loves DeSantis and despises the California government which he sees as having ruined a paradise. Surprise, suprise,old Dagblogger momoe shows up and confirms what he says:DeSantis is liked and does the job.
Bill Maher says he didn't leave the Democratic party, they left him.
Plenty of Hispanic Americans of different subculture prefer a Trump type (or a Mayor Adams type) to an AOC type.
I think a part of your problem in not seeing how easy it is to win over 7% by being anti-liberal, that lies in that you are deluded that Hillary has the same centrist rep as her husband. She does not! To too many she is a shrill version of AOC, "politically correct" and divisive, elitist, not down home, and would let all those tax-and-spend types regulate-to-hell and ruin the economy. Yes it's unfair to her. So fucking what! Life is unfair. I don't get defending her like she's your mother. She was a bad choice politically espec. with Trump out there! Things would have been little different if she had won, with him out there raising his rabble against her! Every day it looks like a bad choice of candidate, It might have actually turned out worse if she was president! A very good chance of that with him out there not having to perform, just criticize
Don't underestimate how much a couple Sister Souljah moments might change Biden's approval rating once inflation dies down. He won the election. The majority just don't trust him yet to right the economy and not pander to the left.
You cannot get that 7% and pander to the left, you just can't. They are fed up. Maher does speak for them. That is not genius. It is simply recognition of how you cannot ally with lefty liberals and win nationally. You have to repudiate them. Yes, it's unfair as the deal with Trump is "wish you would stay off Twitter" while lefties have to be banished, but it is the way it is -nationally the whole is more tolerant of conservative nuts than they are of lefties

One thing the internet has shown us is how many stupid and ignorant people there are in America and just how far gone so many are. I'm not just talking about the real crazies that believe Alex Jones and Qanon. There's also the simple basic shit. I was just reading the NYT article on the focus group from Wyoming about LIz Cheney. One participant said, "I don’t feel like we have a voice because we don’t have as many people as some of the bigger states. And that’s been since I’ve been in high school. I just don’t feel like we have a voice."
I'm like wtf. You have a population of 500 thousand and get two senators and California has nearly 40 million and gets the same two senators. Now we can argue whether that's good or bad, that's subjective. But to claim Wyoming doesn't have a voice when it has a disproportionately larger voice than any other state is just stupid. And I'm just fucking sick at so much stupid out there all the time.

The only 'party' he really cares about is Trump.He'll switch any allegiances in a NY minute if he sees it as to his personal benefit. There's no other there there.

ego, a lot of it may simply be ego, liking to brag about using power for its own sake, no matter who or what it destroys or hurts

Scottish local authorities come under fire for appointing man as ‘period dignity officer’
By Jack Guy, CNN
Local authorities in Scotland have come in for criticism after they appointed a man to the role of period dignity officer, responsible for coordinating the region’s response to a new law that makes menstrual products free to access in the country.
A group of colleges and local councils in Tay region in eastern Scotland announced the appointment of Jason Grant, who previously worked as a student wellbeing officer at a local college, to the role on Thursday.
However, critics argue that a woman would have been better suited to the job.
Retired tennis star Martina Navratilova commented on the news of his appointment, calling it “f**king ridiculous” on her Twitter account.
“Have we ever tried to explain to men how to shave or how to take care of their prostate or whatever?!? This is absurd,” she wrote in a separate tweet.
Barrister Charlotte Proudman also questioned why a man was appointed to the role.
“I remember at school, girls used sanitary pads because tampons were unaffordable,” she tweeted. “What experience does Jason Grant have of this? I’m all *for* men’s support – but let’s have women lead on our experiences.”
Grant’s role is the first of its kind in Scotland.
“He will coordinate and streamline the approach to ‘Period Dignity’ across the area by working directly with the colleges and local authorities,” Grainger PR said in a press release announcing the appointment, which was made by a working group of .
“Jason will lead a regional campaign across schools, colleges and wider communities, raising awareness and understanding of the new Act and ensuring that the Scottish Government funding is allocated appropriately,” it said.
The Period Products Act came into force on Monday and means that menstrual products, including tampons and pads, will be made available free of charge in public facilities in Scotland.
It will be the responsibility of local authorities and education providers to ensure the products are available free of charge.
Grant called the legislation “transformational and long-overdue” in the press release announcing his appointment.
“With our partners, we will be looking at fine-tuning the existing distribution and availability of products, including sustainable options and even plan performing art workshops in schools and colleges to improve education around periods,” he said.
His appointment “surprised and intrigued some colleagues and friends,” according to the press release, but Grant, a former personal trainer and tobacco salesman, said he believes he has a lot to bring to the role.
“I think being a man will help me to break down barriers, reduce stigma and encourage more open discussions. Although affecting women directly, periods are an issue for everyone,” he said, adding that he will also work to raise awareness of the menopause.
“It’s time to normalise these topics and get real around the subject,” he added. “I believe I can make progress by proving this isn’t just a female topic, encouraging conversations across all genders and educating and engaging new audiences.”
A spokesperson for the working group that employed Grant said giving him the job “was a no-brainer with his vast experience in project management from both the private and public sectors.”
CNN has contacted Grainger PR for further comment.

John Romano
TAMPA, Fla. — You do not argue with success. Of course, you don’t.
But, as an exercise in curiosity, you might occasionally poke at it.
Take the Bucs’ offense, for instance. The 2021 version was the best in franchise history. The No. 2 scoring offense in the NFL, despite some late-season injuries and defections.
Case closed, right? Xerox the playbook, hand Tom Brady the ball and let the good times roll. And, for the most part, that’s what the Bucs will do in 2022.
But there has been some chatter that Tampa Bay might want to run the ball a little more this season. That new head coach Todd Bowles might like a little more balance to the offense.
This isn’t anything Bowles has said publicly. In fact, he seems to have carefully avoided saying that.
“As long as the scoreboard is the same, I’ll take either one,” Bowles said, when asked if he wanted more of a run/pass balance. “If they take away the run to make us throw, we’ve got to throw it. If they allow us to run and try to take away the pass, we’ve got to run it.
“Whatever they’re giving us, and whatever we can take advantage of, that’s what we want to do.”
This idea that the Bucs might want to run the ball more seems to be based on two thoughts:
No. 1, Bowles has a defensive background and might be more conservative than the no-risk-it, no-biscuit philosophy of previous head coach Bruce Arians.
No. 2, the Bucs could hardly run the ball any less.
Tampa Bay kept the ball on the ground on only 33.2% of its plays last season, which was the lowest percentage in the NFL. In fact, over the last two seasons, Brady is the only quarterback in the league to have averaged more than 40 passes per game.
And that makes perfect sense. When you have Eric Clapton in your band, you don’t schedule a lot of drum solos.
“Whatever Todd wants us to do, we’ll be ready for it. But I expect it’s going to be business as usual,” said Bucs running game coordinator Harold Goodwin. “When you have Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, and last year we had (Rob Gronkowski) too, and Tom Brady is your quarterback, you can understand if your offense might skew a little more toward the passing game.”
Still, there are legitimate reasons for pondering a few more running plays in Tampa Bay’s future. For, as many points as the Bucs put on the board last season, they were in the bottom half of the league when it came to time-of-possession. While that’s not a sexy stat for fans, it does help shorten the game for a team’s defense if you can control the clock.
And then there’s the matter of putting a 45-year-old quarterback at risk. Brady is among the best in the league when it comes to getting rid of the ball quickly, but every dropback is another chance that your quarterback is going to get hit.
A healthy running game is also a huge benefit on the play-action pass and Brady, again, is one of the best in the league in that category.
“It helps the offensive line set the tempo for the game. It’s letting the defense know that you’re going to lean on them and that we think our guys are better than your guys up front,” Goodwin said. “The more you lean on them, the more you’re going to wear down that pass rush when it gets to the fourth quarter and the two-minute drill.”
There is some justification to wonder about Bowles’ affinity for the running game. When he was a head coach in New York, the Jets ran the ball about 42% of the time. That roughly translates to about five or six more running plays per game than what the Bucs have done the last two seasons.
Of course, Bowles also had three different offensive coordinators during his four seasons in New York. And none of his quarterbacks would ever be confused with Brady.
So what does all of this mean?
Tampa Bay’s offense is still going to revolve around Brady and his receivers, that seems obvious. But the offensive line has had success running the ball in smaller doses in the past, and Leonard Fournette is one of the 10 highest-paid running backs in the league.
The idea that the Bucs might run the ball at a slightly higher rate than the past two seasons does not seem like an outlandish thought.
It might even be worth an argument.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Oakland Athletics released veteran shortstop Elvis Andrus on Wednesday.
Andrus, who turns 34 on Aug. 26, hit .237 with eight homers and 30 RBIs in 106 games in his second season with the A's. He was acquired in a trade with Texas in February 2021.
Last-place Oakland also recalled infielder Sheldon Neuse from Triple-A Las Vegas before their game at the Rangers. The 27-year-old Neuse appeared in 70 games with the A's earlier this season, batting .227 with three homers and 21 RBIs.
Andrus broke into the majors with Texas in 2009 and spent his first 12 seasons with the Rangers, making two AL All-Star teams. He is a .270 hitter with 87 homers and 703 RBIs in 1,904 career games.
He hit a two-run homer in the seventh inning of Oakland's 5-1 win against Texas on Tuesday night.

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Former Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday implored fellow Republicans to stop lashing out at the FBI over the search of Donald Trump’s Florida home and denounced calls by some of the former president’s allies to defund the FBI, saying that was “just as wrong” as a push by Democratic activists to shift money from police.
Pence also said he would give “due consideration” if asked to testify before the House committee investigating the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
His pleas for restraint come as law enforcement officials warn of an escalating number of violent threats targeting federal agents and government facilities since agents last week searched Mar-a-Lago as part of the Justice Department’s investigation into the discovery of classified White House records recovered from Trump’s estate earlier this year.
Speaking in New Hampshire, Pence was asked what went through his mind when he heard about the FBI search of Trump’s home. Pence, who like Trump is considering a 2024 presidential bid, said he has been troubled by what he called the politicization of the FBI. He also said the Justice Department and Attorney General Merrick Garland should be more forthcoming about what led authorities to conduct the search.
But Trump’s former vice president also had a message for the GOP.
“I also want to remind my fellow Republicans, we can hold the attorney general accountable for the decision he made without attacking the rank-and-file law enforcement personnel at the FBI,” he said at the Politics & Eggs event at St. Anselm College.
“The Republican Party is the party of law and order,” Pence continued. “Our party stands with the men and women who stand on the thin blue line at the federal and state and local level, and these attacks on the FBI must stop. Calls to defund the FBI are just as wrong as calls to defund the police.”
Federal authorities and private extremism monitors have warned that a growing number of ardent Trump supporters seem ready to strike back against the FBI or others who, they believe, go too far in investigating the former president.
In Ohio, a man wearing body armor and armed with an assault rifle and a nail gun was shot and killed after trying to breach the FBI’s Cincinnati office. In Pennsylvania, a man was arrested after posting death threats against agents on social media.
FBI Director Christopher Wray had said that threats to agents and the Justice Department are “deplorable and dangerous.” The FBI has warned its agents to take precautions, citing an increase in social media threats to bureau personnel and facilities. Some GOP lawmakers and others are demanding that FBI be dismantled and defunded.
Pence, who has been strategically trying to distance himself from his ex-boss, prefaced his response by saying, “Look, it’s fairly well known that President Trump and I have had our differences.” Still, Pence has been careful to frequently cite the accomplishments of the “Trump-Pence administration,” hoping that he can appeal to voters who may have supported Trump’s policies but are put off by Trump’s behavior.
Their paths diverged on Jan. 6, 2021, when a mob of angry Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in an effort to stop Congress’ formal certification of Joe Biden’s presidential victory. Trump denounced his vice president for refusing to object or delay the certification — something Pence had no power to do. A fake gallows was constructed on the National Mall, and people who broke into the Capitol chanted, “ Hang Mike Pence! Hang Mike Pence! ”
Pence had previously refused to say whether he would engage with the House committee investigating the insurrection if the panel requested his testimony. On Wednesday, he said he would consider it.
“If there was an invitation to participate, I would consider it,” Pence said, adding he would first reflect “on the unique role” he was serving as vice president.
“It would be unprecedented in history for a vice president to be summoned to testify on Capitol Hill, but as I said, I don’t want to prejudge,” he said. “If ever any formal invitation was rendered to us, we’d give it due consideration.” | https://pix11.com/ap-political/pence-tells-gop-to-stop-lashing-out-at-fbi-over-trump-search/ | 2022-08-17T18:02:32Z | https://pix11.com/ap-political/pence-tells-gop-to-stop-lashing-out-at-fbi-over-trump-search/ | true |
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
The New York Yankees need some infield help with DJ LeMahieu possibly headed to the injured list. In addition, shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa and third baseman Josh Donaldson continue to struggle at the plate.
Meanwhile the New York Mets have seen a pair of infielders go down this week: Luis Guillorme (groin) and Eduardo Escobar (strained oblique).
So it isn’t out of the realm of possibility that Elvis Andrus could be Big Apple-bound.

That’s because the Oakland A’s released the 32-year-old shortstop on Wednesday, according to MLB Trade Rumors.
Once Andrus wasn’t traded either in the offseason or at the trade deadline earlier this month, the writing was on the wall for Andrus, whose contract contains a vesting option for the 2023 season that would become guaranteed upon reaching 550 plate appearances.
Andrus currently has 386 plate appearances.
Spotrac reports Andrus is in the final year of an eight-year, $120 million contract. He’s making $7.75 million this year, but according to MLB Trade Rumors, “Any team that signs Andrus would need only pay him the prorated league minimum for any time spent on the Major League roster; the A’s will remain on the hook for the rest of this year’s salary.”

Andrus is hitting .237 this season with eight home runs in 106 games.
But in his younger days, Andrus was a two-time All-Star for the Texas Rangers.
In the meantime, the Yankees appear set to call up shortstop prospect Oswaldo Cabrera while the Mets are turning to third base prospect Brett Baty.

Youth mental health is in crisis. Are schools doing enough?
Video above: Mental health providers struggling to match resources with demand
For fourth-grader Leah Rainey, the school day now begins with what her teacher calls an "emotional check-in."
"It's great to see you. How are you feeling?" chirps a cheery voice on her laptop screen. It asks her to click an emoji matching her state of mind: Happy. Sad. Worried. Angry. Frustrated. Calm. Silly. Tired.
Depending on the answer, Leah, 9, gets advice from a cartoon avatar on managing her mood and a few more questions: Have you eaten breakfast? Are you hurt or sick? Is everything OK at home? Is someone at school being unkind? Today, Leah chooses "silly," but says she struggled with sadness during online learning.
At Lakewood Elementary School, all 420 students will start their days the same way this year. The rural Kentucky school is one of thousands across the country using the technology to screen students' state of mind and alert teachers to anyone struggling.
In some ways, this year's back-to-school season will restore a degree of pre-pandemic normalcy: Most districts have lifted mask mandates, dropped COVID vaccine requirements and ended rules on social distancing and quarantines.
But many of the pandemic's longer-lasting impacts remain a troubling reality for schools. Among them: the harmful effects of isolation and remote learning on children's emotional well-being.
Student mental health reached crisis levels last year, and the pressure on schools to figure out solutions has never been greater. Districts across the country are using federal pandemic money to hire more mental health specialists, rolling out new coping tools and expanding curriculum that prioritizes emotional health.

Still, some parents don't believe schools should be involved in mental health at all. So-called social-emotional learning, or SEL, has become the latest political flashpoint, with conservatives saying schools use it to promote progressive ideas about race, gender and sexuality, or that a focus on well-being takes attention from academics.
But at schools like Lakewood, educators say helping students manage emotions and stress will benefit them in the classroom and throughout life.
The school, in a farming community an hour's drive south of Louisville, has used federal money to create "take-a-break" corners in each classroom. Students can rifle through a "self-regulation kit" with tips on deep breathing, squishy stress balls and acupuncture rings, said school counselor Shelly Kerr. The school plans to build a "Reset Room" this fall, part of an emerging national trend to create campus sanctuaries where students can go to decompress and speak with a counselor.
The online student screener Lakewood uses, called Closegap, helps teachers identify shy, quiet kids who might need to talk and would have otherwise gone unnoticed.
Closegap founder Rachel Miller launched the online platform in 2019 with a few schools and saw interest explode after the pandemic hit. This year, she said, more than 3,600 U.S schools will be using the technology, which has free and premium versions.
"We are finally beginning to recognize that school is more than just teaching the kids reading, writing and arithmetic," said Dan Domenech, executive director of the national School Superintendents Association. Just as free lunch programs are based on the idea that a hungry child can't learn, more and more schools are embracing the idea that a cluttered or troubled mind cannot focus on schoolwork, he said.
The pandemic magnified the fragility of mental health among American youth, who had been experiencing a rise in depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts for years, experts say. A recent report issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found 44% of high school students said they experienced " persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness " during the pandemic, with girls and LGBTQ youth reporting the highest levels of poor mental health and suicide attempts.
If a silver lining exists, the pandemic raised awareness of the crisis and helped de-stigmatize talking about mental health, while also bringing attention to schools' shortcomings in handling it. President Joe Biden's administration recently announced over $500 million to expand mental health services in the country's schools, adding to federal and state money that has poured into schools to cope with pandemic-era needs.
Still, many are skeptical schools' responses are enough.

"All of these opportunities and resources are temporary," said junior Claire Chi, who attends State College Area High School in central Pennsylvania. Last year, her school added emergency counseling and therapy dogs, among other supports, but most of that help lasted a day or two, Chi said. And that's "not really a mental health investment for students." This year, the school says it has added more counselors and plans mental health training for all 10th graders.
Some critics, including many conservative parents, don't want to see mental health support in schools in the first place. Asra Nomani, a mom from Fairfax County, Virginia, says schools are using the mental health crisis as a "Trojan horse" to introduce liberal ideas about sexual and racial identity. She also worries schools lack the expertise to deal with student mental illness.
"Social-emotional well-being has become an excuse to intervene in the lives of children in the most intimate of ways that are both dangerous and irresponsible," Nomani said, "because they're in the hands of people who are not trained professionals."
Despite the unprecedented funding, schools are having trouble hiring counselors, mirroring the shortages in other American industries.
Goshen Junior High School in northwest Indiana has been struggling to fill a vacancy of a counselor who left last year, when student anxiety and other behavioral problems were "off the charts," said Jan Desmarais-Morse, one of two counselors left at the school, with caseloads of 500 students each.
"One person trying to meet the needs of 500 students?" said Desmarais-Morse said. "It's impossible."
Video above: Health experts say social media can have negative effects on self-image
The American School Counselor Association recommends a ratio of 250 students per school counselor, which few states come close to meeting.
For the 2020-21 school year only two states — New Hampshire and Vermont — achieved that goal, according to an Associated Press analysis of data from the National Center for Education Statistics. Some states face staggeringly high ratios: Arizona averages one counselor to 716 students; in Michigan, 1 to 638; and in Minnesota, 1 to 592.
Also in Indiana, the School City of Hammond won a grant to hire clinical therapists at all 17 of its schools but has not been able to fill most of the new jobs, said Superintendent Scott Miller. "Schools are stealing from other schools. There just aren't enough workers to go around." And despite more funding, school salaries can't compete with private counseling practices, which are also overwhelmed and trying to hire more staff.
Another challenge for schools: identifying struggling children before they're in emotional crisis. At the Houston Independent School District, one of the largest in the country with 277 schools and nearly 200,000 students, students are asked each morning to hold up fingers showing how they feel. One finger means a child is hurting deeply; five means she or he feels great.
"It's identifying your brush fires early in the day," said Sean Ricks, the district's senior manager of crisis intervention.
Houston teachers now give mindfulness lessons, with ocean sounds played via YouTube, and a Chihuahua named Luci and a cockapoo named Omi have joined the district's crisis team.
Video above: Mental health services expanding at Baltimore City schools
Grant-funding helped Houston build relaxation rooms, known as Thinkeries, at 10 schools last year, costing about $5,000 each. District data show campuses with Thinkeries, which sport bean bag chairs and warmly colored walls, saw a 62% decrease in calls to a crisis line last year, Ricks said. The district is building more this year.
But the rooms themselves are not a panacea. For the calming rooms to work, schools must teach students to recognize they feel angry or frustrated. Then they can use the space to decompress before their emotions erupt, said Kevin Dahill-Fuchel, executive director of Counseling in Schools, a nonprofit that helps schools bolster mental health services.
In the last days of summer vacation, a "Well Space" at University High School in Irvine, California, was getting finishing touches from an artist who painted a mural of a giant moon over mountains. Potted succulents, jute rugs, Buddha-like statuettes and a hanging egg chair brought an un-school-like feel. When school starts this week, the room is to be staffed full-time with a counselor or mental health specialist.
The goal is to normalize the idea of asking for help and give students a place to reset. "If they can re-center and refocus," Blakely said, "they can then, after a short break, go back into their classrooms and be prepared for deeper learning." | https://www.wgal.com/article/youth-mental-health-in-crisis-are-schools-doing-enough/40920692 | 2022-08-17T18:06:18Z | https://www.wgal.com/article/youth-mental-health-in-crisis-are-schools-doing-enough/40920692 | false |
Is it worth getting a tankless water heater?
Keeping an eye on when you have hot water and how much is left can be a daily challenge. Traditional hot water systems don’t leave much flexibility in your schedule, whether it’s for taking a shower or washing dishes.
Tankless water heaters offer constant availability of hot water, but are they worth it? There are some pros and cons to be aware of before you install a tankless system.
What are tankless water heaters?
Tankless water heaters work by heating water on demand using either an electric or gas-powered heat exchanger connected directly to the pipes in your home. This means that when you turn on the hot water tap, a flow sensor tells the tankless heater to power up.
A thermostat in the tank sets the temperature of the burner inside the unit and heats the water as it flows through. The water leaves the heater and flows into the pipes, delivering the desired temperature out of your faucet or showerhead.
Tankless water heaters vs. traditional water tanks
Tankless water heaters do not work like traditional tank-based heaters that heat a set amount of water, usually 40 to 50 gallons. The hot water is then stored in an insulated tank, and once it’s gone, you need to wait for the tank to heat more water.
Because they heat so much water every day, traditional tanks aren’t energy efficient. And holding such a huge amount of water can be catastrophic if a malfunction causes flooding.
In contrast, tankless water heaters do not store any water. Instead, water flows through and is heated as needed — for example, if you turn on the shower or run the dishwasher.
Types of tankless water heaters
Gas-powered tankless water heaters
If you’re purchasing a gas-powered tankless heater, there is a significant installation process. Ventilation is required, typically through the roof but sometimes though a wall. This includes new air vents and ducts, due to the risks of gas burning in enclosed spaces.
So while the heater’s cost can be as low as $500, installation and venting add up. Gas-powered heaters also require an annual safety and efficiency inspection.
Small gas tankless heater units are relatively low cost. But if you have a large household and want enough power to run multiple hot water appliances at the same time, you’ll need a larger system. These larger systems are called gas condensing units, and they have a secondary heater to ensure you’ll have enough hot water for simultaneous use.
If your home is not already hooked up to a gas line, you’ll also need to have gas service installed. In that scenario, an electric tankless water heater is generally far more cost-effective.
Electric tankless water heaters
While gas-powered tankless water heaters are far more energy efficient than traditional systems, electric tankless heaters are even more efficient. Gas is typically cheaper than electricity, but electric tankless heaters last longer and have lower installation costs.
Electric tankless heaters are typically smaller than their gas counterparts. This makes them preferable for smaller homes or those with less space for installation. And installing an electric tankless water heater is simple, as you’ll skip the gas heater’s ventilation costs.
Electric tanks do not require annual safety checks like their gas counterparts. Instead, you simply need to switch out the filter regularly.
Pros of tankless water heaters
Unlimited supply of hot water
A tankless water heater supplies you with an endless source of hot water. This can be a huge advantage for large households that regularly see hot water run out.
It’s important to remember, though, that tankless heaters are not endless; there is a limit to the amount of hot water they can supply at one time, known as the maximum flow rate. So if you regularly run multiple appliances that require hot water at the same time, you need to make sure your heater’s maximum flow rate can handle it.
Tankless heaters are economical
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that a tankless heater is 24% to 34% more energy efficient than traditional tank-based heaters for homes that use under 41 gallons of hot water per day.
This means tankless heaters can provide significant savings in your monthly energy bills, given that heating water is estimated at almost 20% of household budgets.
Cons of tankless heaters
It can take a while for the water to get hot
Tankless heaters can take longer to deliver hot water than tank-based heaters. This is because the heat exchanger has to be activated and powered up to heat water.
It can take anywhere from a few seconds to a couple of minutes for hot water to start flowing out of the faucet. The speed at which your hot water is delivered depends solely on the quality of the heater you install.
Tankless heaters are expensive to buy and install
Tankless heaters cost anywhere from $400 for small units to over $2,000 for large ones that can supply two showers simultaneously.
While this might seem reasonable, installation can be expensive. The cost to install an electric tankless heater is between $600 and $2,500. For gas-powered tankless heaters, you can expect to pay between $700 and $4,600.
Is a tankless water heater right for you?
The decision to install a tankless water heater comes down to your budget and your home’s existing energy system.
The best way to decide is to add up costs such as the price of the heater and installation fees. You can also compare your existing energy bills with the projected monthly energy costs associated with a tankless heater. And keep in mind how long you expect to stay in your home. That way, you’ll get a clear idea of the initial investment needed and whether a tankless system will save you money in the long run.
Best tankless water heaters
Rheem 18-Kilowatt 240-Volt Tankless Electric Water Heater
This electric tankless water heater has an external digital thermostat so you can adjust the maximum temperature the water reaches. Advanced self-modulation means the heater automatically adjusts its power to meet demand for high energy efficiency.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon and Home Depot
Rinnai 6.5-Gallons-Per-Minute Interior Tankless Hot Water Heater
This gas-powered tankless heater requires professional installation. However, it’s suitable for multiple ventilation options depending on the structure of your home, so you can keep installation costs low.

BJP cadres rally behind Savarkar, chide opponents for sullying the freedom fighter
Party leader says they will erect Savarkar’s statue in Udupi
MANGALURUADVERTISEMENT

The protest by Congress and Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) workers opposing erection of a cutout with Veer (Vinayaka Damodar) Savarkar’s picture in Udupi on Tuesday, took a new turn on Wednesday with BJP cadres opposing their action and promising to erect Savarkar’s statue at Brahmagiri Circle in Udupi.
Leading party and Yuva Morcha cadres, BJP All India Backward Classes Morcha general secretary Yashpal Suvarna flayed Congress and said the party has exhibited its true colours on freedom struggle. On the other hand, SDPI and Popular Front of India (PFI) have indulged in creating communal disturbance across the country when the nation was celebrating 75 years of Independence, he said and called them uncivilised outfits.
Hindu Mahasabha leaders had erected a flex banner at Brahmagiri Circle in the city with pictures of Savarkar and Subhas Chandra Bose on it.

Showering flower petals on the flex, Mr. Suvarna further said party cadres will not hesitate to erect the picture of Savarkar in the courtyards of former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah‘s residence. Likening Mr. Siddaramaiah to Pakistan founder Mohammed Ali Jinnah, Mr. Suvarna lashed out at Mr. Siddaramaiah for questioning erection of the flex in ‘Muslim areas.’
Later, BJPYM cadres took out a march to the Congress office in Udupi and tried to lay siege to the building. However, the police thwarted their attempts.
MLA chides Congress
In Mangaluru, city South MLA D. Vedavyas Kamath chided Mr. Siddaramaiah saying there was no need to obtain his permission to exhibit Savarkar’s picture anywhere in the country. Asking whether the ‘Muslim areas’ where Savarkar’s picture was displayed were in Pakistan, Mr. Kamath said in a statement that the fighter had spent his entire life for the Independence undergoing life sentence twice in the Andamans.
Savarkar was called “Veer” because of his sacrifice for the nation and not for leading luxurious life in jail as political prisoners like some Congress leaders, Mr. Kamath said.
Meanwhile Minister for Kannada, Culture and Energy V. Sunil Kumar on August 15 had stated that there was no compromise with the Veer Savarkar issue. Savarkar has been one of the tallest leaders of India and BJP continues to revere him. Mr. Kumar also stated that the government will not tolerate any attempts to sully the image of Veer Savarkar.
Congress activists led by their leader Prakhyat Shetty on Tuesday gheraoed Brahmagiri Circle and cautioned the administration to get the flex removed within 24 hours.

"We are going!"
A Wednesday morning photo from NASA shows the Artemis I mission's Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft on the launchpad with a banner along a fence emblazoned with the mission's catchphrase, "We are going." Those three words encapsulate the time, effort, engineering and money it's taken to get to this point, with Artemis I almost ready to take off.
The SLS rocket and Orion took a nearly 10-hour journey from the massive Vehicle Assembly Building, where they were garaged, over to Launchpad 39B at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. They arrived at about 7:30 a.m. ET/4:30 a.m. PT on Wednesday.
Artemis I is an uncrewed test flight that'll send the Orion capsule around the moon and then bring it back home. NASA will be monitoring the performance of the rocket system and the spacecraft to see if it'll be safe to send astronauts on the next moon mission, Artemis II.
The big move on the back of a massive crawler-transporter vehicle happened ahead of a targeted launch date of no sooner than Aug. 29. If that timing doesn't work out because of weather or technical issues, NASA has some backup dates on the schedule.
It's hard to appreciate the scale of Artemis I from photos. The SLS Block 1 configuration (there are other ways the rocket system can be configured depending on its purpose) used for the mission reaches 322 feet (98 meters), making it taller than the Statue of Liberty.
NASA teams will now work to configure systems at the launchpad. Here's how the preparations and launch sequence will go. All of this work is in the service of a set of longer term goals: returning humans to the moon's surface, establishing a longer term presence on the moon, and eventually sending astronauts to Mars. Those ambitious plans start with Artemis I. | https://www.cnet.com/science/space/nasa-artemis-i-mega-moon-rocket-proudly-poses-on-the-launchpad/ | 2022-08-17T18:09:45Z | https://www.cnet.com/science/space/nasa-artemis-i-mega-moon-rocket-proudly-poses-on-the-launchpad/ | false |

NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- King & Spalding announced today that Randy Mastro, a leading New York-based business litigator and trial lawyer, will join the firm as a partner in its Trial and Global Disputes practice group.
Mastro previously served as the Chair of the Litigation Practice at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher for more than 20 years and was a long-time member of both its Management and Executive Committees.
"Building our trial practice even more in New York is a cornerstone of our firm strategy. Bringing on Randy – an exceptional trial lawyer and proven leader – helps propel us further," said Robert D. Hays, the firm's Chairman. "Excellence, energy, entrepreneurship and collaborative growth are all hallmarks of our firm's culture. Randy ticks every one of those boxes and then some."
Mastro has tried dozens of cases in private practice and as a federal prosecutor and has also argued more than 100 appeals in federal and state appellate courts throughout the country. He routinely ranks among the nation's leading litigators and trial lawyers in prominent ranking directories and other prominent surveys of corporate counsel and other practitioners. Chambers USA recently named him "Trial Lawyer of the Year," and Law360 has recognized him as an "MVP" for trials.
"I have had the pleasure of partnering with so many great lawyers from King & Spalding over the years on cases we've handled together and won together. Now, I'm thrilled to become a partner there and help the firm expand its litigation and trial practices in New York and throughout the world," Mastro said. "I am a builder by nature and always have been, including at my departing firm, where we achieved exponential growth in New York and a legacy for all to be proud of. Now, I'm looking forward to this exciting opportunity to help King & Spalding grow in New York and elsewhere, continue to work among friends and colleagues dedicated to excellence and striving to be the best, and, from this shining platform, build an even brighter future."
Mastro has a diverse practice representing clients across many industries and categories of dispute. Among many high-profile matters, Mastro won a two-month RICO trial barring the enforcement of a $9 billion Ecuadorian judgment against Chevron that The American Lawyer called "The Case of the Century." He also won a month-long trial against the SEC, obtaining the dismissal of all charges against high-profile entrepreneur, Lynn Tilton, and thereby defeating the largest individual enforcement action the SEC ever brought before its in-house tribunal. He also led the successful effort to defeat New York City's controversial West Side Stadium project, and he represented the State of New Jersey's Governor's Office in conducting a high-profile investigation into allegations concerning the "Bridgegate" controversy. Over the past two years, he won breakthrough Supreme Court victories in COVID-related cases, overturning New York's fixed-capacity restrictions on "houses of worship" and the State's eviction moratorium – both "firsts" in convincing the Supreme Court to void such COVID regulations.
Mastro served as an Assistant United States Attorney and Deputy Chief of the Civil Division in the Southern District of New York, where he received the Attorney General's Distinguished Service Award, among other accolades. Mastro earned his undergraduate degree from Yale University and his J.D. from University of Pennsylvania.
Celebrating more than 130 years of service, King & Spalding is an international law firm that represents a broad array of clients, including half of the Fortune Global 100, with 1,200 lawyers in 23 offices in the United States, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

(The Hill) — R&B singer Solange Knowles has become the first Black woman to compose a score for the New York City Ballet.
In a news release on Monday, the famed company announced that the “Cranes in the Sky” singer has written a score for work from choreographer Gianna Reisen that will premiere at the company’s fall fashion gala next month.
The New York Times reported that Knowles’s score was written for a chamber ensemble made up of some of the artist’s music collaborators and members of the company’s orchestra.
“Very excited to announce i’ve composed an original score for the New York City Ballet choreography by Gianna Reisen , score performed by the City Ballet Orchestra + soloist from my ensemble,” the 36-year-old singer wrote in a tweet on Tuesday.

BLOOMINGTON — Students at Cedar Ridge Elementary School were eager to start their first day of school Wednesday morning.
Many waited at the door, some were dropped off by parents, others arrived on the bus; some were smiling, while others were sad. The first day of school is always a mix of emotions, as it means summer is over and homework assignments are back.
Cedar Ridge Principal Heather Rogers and McLean County Unit 5 Superintendent Kristen Weikle were there to greet students, making sure each one received a warm welcome before helping them get where they needed to be.
"I'm so excited to have all the kiddos back at Cedar Ridge," Rogers said. "The first day of school is all those smiles, the staff is energized; I get to greet the students and get to know them better. Cedar Ridge has been my home for 10 years and it's nice to come home every fall."
Rogers said the school had a great turnout for their Back to School Night on Tuesday, when students, families and staff were able to get know each other better. Students also had the opportunity to participate in several activities such as getting their nails or hair done, while families were able to pickup necessary supplies for the school year.
Cedar Ridge recently received a Walking Path/STEAM Lab as a dedication from State Farm, Sunset Rotary, Daybreak Rotary, Cedar Ridge Rocket Boosters and Platinum Plumbing, which students will be able to make use of this year. The Walking Path/STEAM Lab is an interactive learning walk located just outside the school.
"There's a level of excitement in the air on the first day of school that I think is hard to replicate. There's just a different level of energy that comes in those first few days," Weikle said. "I'm excited about a more typical year for everyone and I can't wait to get in classrooms and see all the great learning that's going to take place by our students."
Weikle added that the first day means different things for different students. For some, it's their first day of kindergarten, first day at a new school or it's their last first day in Unit 5.
This will be the last year for fifth grade student Jayce Smith, who was all smiles heading into school.
"I feel good," Smith said. "I'm actually excited about school this year."
Kindergartner Jude Alexander said he is happy about the first day of school and is most looking forward to science class.
Rogers also offered some advice for students for the 2022-23 school year.
"Enjoy your learning; any K-5 student should have a love of learning to set the course for the future," Rogers said. "We want to provide a safe place for students to do that."
Rogers said Cedar Ridge's theme this year is "kindness grows here," and she looks forward to growing kindness and community.
Thursday will be District 87's first day of school; community members should watch out for buses, children walking to school, and be prepared for heavier traffic flow.

(Bloomberg) — Walmart Inc., CVS Health Corp. and Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. were ordered to pay $650 million over their failure to properly monitor opioid prescriptions in two Ohio counties.
A federal judge in Cleveland ruled Wednesday that the companies had to pay “abatement” fees to help local officials deal with the fallout from the public health crisis created by improper sales of millions of opioid-based painkillers.
The ruling comes after a jury found in November that the three helped create that crisis — the drug industry’s latest loss in the expanding litigation over the painkillers.
The jury backed claims by northeast Ohio’s Trumbull and Lake counties that the pharmacy chains failed to create legally mandated monitoring systems to detect illegitimate opioid prescriptions. The counties sought reimbursement for the costs of dealing with addictions and fatal overdoses.
They had wanted the companies to pay a combined $2.4 billion to replenish depleted budgets for drug treatment, social services and police, with $1.3 billion for Trumbull and $1.1 billion for Lake, according to people familiar with their demands.

TCB to buy 1.25cr litre soybean oil
The cabinet committee on public purchase has approved the proposal of Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) to source 1.25 crore litres of soybean oil and 5,000 tonnes of moshur lentil to supply to one crore card-holder families across the country at subsidised rate.
The corporation under the Ministry of Commerce will buy these products at a cost of more than Tk260 crore from various private sector companies through direct purchase.
"The committee has approved the proposal to buy 40 lakh litres of soybean oil from Superoil Refinery Limited for Tk59.58 crore at the rate of Tk173.95 per litre in first phase," Md Abdul Barik, additional secretary of the Cabinet Division, told reporters on Wednesday after a meeting presided over by the Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal.
"In another lot, the purchase of 85 lakh litre soybean oil at a cost of Tk145.35 crore at Tk171 per litre has been approved," he said, adding, "Shun Shing Edible Oil Limited, Bashundhara Multifood Limited and Sinha Edible Oil Ltd will supply respectively 20 lakh tonnes, 35 lakh tonne and 30lakh tonne."
TCB will also buy 5,000 tonne moshur lentils from several companies at Tk111 per kg at a cost of Tk55.50 crore.
Besides, the committee approved the proposal to purchase 1.20lakh tonnes urea fertiliser from Qatar and Saudi Arabia on G2G basis and from the Karnafuli Fertiliser Company (Kafco).
The committee also approved the proposal to appoint six berth operators at Chattogram Port for the next five years. FQ Khan & Brothers Ltd, Fazlisons Ltd, M/s Bashir Ahmed & Co Ltd, M/s A & J Traders, Everest Port Services Limited, and A H Chowdhury Limited have been appointed for berth 9 to 13 respectively.
For this, the Chattogram Port Authority will pay Tk 77-78 crore to each company.
Besides, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs approved the proposal to delist the Mirpur Integrated Township Development (MITD phase-2) PPP project to build a state-of-the-art planned housing estate on 80 acres of land in the capital's Mirpur-9 to 11 sections.
Md Abdul Barik said Singapore-based 'Enterprise Singapore' was supposed to build this township on G2G basis. An MoU was signed with them two years ago. The officials of the company have also visited Bangladesh twice.
"The Singaporean company is not currently interested in working on the project. Since two years have passed, the Ministry of Housing and Public Works proposed to scrap the project and the committee approved it," he added. | https://www.tbsnews.net/markets/tcb-buy-125cr-litre-soybean-oil-478910 | 2022-08-17T18:21:31Z | https://www.tbsnews.net/markets/tcb-buy-125cr-litre-soybean-oil-478910 | true |

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A former Indiana state senator was sentenced Wednesday to 10 months in prison for his role in a scheme that illegally funneled money from a casino company to his unsuccessful 2016 congressional campaign.
The federal investigation into contributions to Republican Brent Waltz’s campaign tied to a former casino executive led the Indiana Gaming Commission to force the company out of its lucrative ownership of projects for new casinos in Gary and Terre Haute.
Waltz, 48, of Greenwood, pleaded guilty in April to helping route about $40,000 in illegal contributions to his campaign and making false statements to the FBI.
Waltz said during Wednesday’s court hearing that his “greatest regret” was that his actions tarnished his reputation as a public servant, which included 12 years as a state senator representing the southern suburbs of Indianapolis, The Indianapolis Star reported.
Federal prosecutors had requested the 10-month sentence. U.S. District Judge James Sweeney, who also ordered Waltz to pay a fine of $40,500, could have sentenced him to up to five years in prison on each charge.
A sentencing hearing was scheduled Wednesday afternoon for John Keeler, a former top executive of Indianapolis-based Centaur Gaming.
Keeler, a lawyer who was a Republican legislator for 16 years in the 1980s and 90s, pleaded guilty in April to filing a false tax return for claiming as a business expense $41,000 that the casino company paid to a political consultant who, prosecutors say, made the contributions through straw donors.
Centaur Gaming sold two Indiana two horse track casinos to Las Vegas-based Caesars Entertainment Corp. in 2018 for $1.7 billion. Keeler and longtime Indiana casino heavyweight Rod Ratcliff later led a group that then formed Spectacle Entertainment to buy the Gary casino operation.
The September 2020 indictment of Keeler and Waltz led to Spectacle Entertainment being forced from ownership of Gary and Terre Haute casino projects now run by other companies.
The state gaming commission also raised financial misconduct allegations against Ratcliff, who agreed to give up his state casino license and exit the gambling industry. Ratcliff has not faced any criminal charges.
Federal prosecutors urged the judge to sentence Waltz and Keeler to at least 10 months in prison to discourage similar crimes by others. Prosecutors described both men as wealthy with successful careers.
“None of this was enough for either defendant,” prosecutors wrote in a court filing. “They wanted more, and they chose to commit crimes of opportunity — not economic necessity — to get what they wanted.” | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Ex-Indiana-lawmaker-sentenced-in-casino-money-17379695.php | 2022-08-17T18:25:22Z | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Ex-Indiana-lawmaker-sentenced-in-casino-money-17379695.php | true |
Kim Mulkey sparked an historic turnaround for LSU women’s basketball in her first season as coach, and now the table is set for her encore.
On Wednesday, the school released its 2022-23 schedule, which gets underway Nov. 7 against Bellarmine in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. That game is the first of five consecutive contests at home in a preconference schedule that includes trips to the Bahamas, for the Goombay Splash during Thanksgiving, and the Maui Classic a week before Christmas.
LSU will face George Mason and Alabama-Birmingham in the Goombay Splash Tournament, and Oregon State and another opponent to be named at Maui.
The schedule includes exhibition games on Oct. 27 against Mississippi College and Nov. 3 against Langston. The Tigers will play one true road game in their pre-conference slate at Tulane on Dec.
LSU, opens SEC play on the road at Arkansas Dec. 29, followed by home games against Vanderbilt on New Year’s Day and Texas A&M Jan. 5. The Tigers regular season ends with four of the final six games on the road.
“With nine new players our non-conference schedule is exactly what we need to grow and prepare for the always tough and challenging SEC,” Mulkey said.
LSU went 26-6 last season and a No. 3 seed in the NCAA tournament in the best turnaround in SEC women’s basketball history. The Tigers lost four starters and five seniors overall from that team but Mulkey sign a strong four player freshman class and brought in five players from the transfer portal.
Freshmen Flaujae Johnson, Sa’Myah Smith, Alisa Williams and Izzy Besselman join transfers Angel Reese (Maryland), Last Tear-Poa (Northwest Florida State College), Jasmine Carson (West Virginia), LaDazhia Williams (Missouri) and Kateri Poole (Ohio State) as newcomers.
Guard Alexis Morris is the lone returning starter among holdovers that include Ryann Payne and Hannah Gusters.
Starting times and the television broadcast schedule will be released at a later date.

Which EVs qualify for new US tax credit? Websites offer help
As part of the rollout of a huge new climate, tax and health care law, the U.S. government is moving forward with its plan to award new tax credits to electric vehicle purchasers.
Several new websites launched Tuesday to help people identify which vehicles qualify for the credits. Based on data submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, at least 31 new 2022 and 2023 models qualify for the tax credit. For starters, they must be made in North America to be eligible.
President Joe Biden signed Democrats' landmark climate change and health care bill into law on Tuesday. It includes a tax credit of up to $7,500 that could be used to defray the cost of purchasing an electric vehicle.
Models included are the 2022 Ford F Series electric pickup, BMW X5, Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Bolt, Jeep Wrangler plug-in hybrid, and all four Tesla models.
But some models may exceed sticker-price limits in the complex law, and it remains to be seen whether automakers will be able to find minerals or manufacture batteries that can qualify for the credits.
Consumers can go to https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/decoder/ and key in the 17-digit vehicle identification number of the EV they want to buy to make sure it's made in the U.S., Canada or Mexico. The Treasury Department also released a frequently asked questions page on the new law's provisions.
As of Tuesday, tax credits will no longer be available for vehicles assembled outside of the U.S., Canada or Mexico. But people who signed purchase contracts for EVs before Tuesday could still get the credits. The remaining electric vehicle provisions of the law are effective Jan. 1.
A Treasury official told reporters on a call Tuesday that the plan puts the U.S. 2030 climate goals within reach and will help ensure Americans can afford to buy an electric car.
Passage of the measure set off a scramble by automakers to speed up efforts to find North American-made batteries and battery minerals from the U.S., Canada or Mexico to make sure EVs are eligible for the credit.
While automakers have been announcing U.S. battery factories and trying to secure domestic mineral supplies, a large industry trade association has warned that the vast majority of EVs now on sale in the U.S. wouldn't qualify for the full credit under the Inflation Reduction Act.
"We are working overtime to localize our supply chains and ramp up production," Chris Smith, chief government affairs officer at Ford, said in a statement.
The credits are important because no automaker wants to be in a position of seeing a competitor sell vehicles at a $7,500 price advantage, especially since the credits largely target middle-class buyers.
"The No. 1 obstacle to EV adoption is cost," said Michelle Krebs, executive analyst with Cox Automotive. "So a $7,500 difference is significant on one vehicle compared to another for the part of the market that this is aimed at."
Under the law, an electric vehicle must contain a battery built in North America with minerals mined or recycled on the continent to be eligible for the credit.
Video below: Electric vehicles heading into heart of US market
And those rules become more stringent over time — to the point where, in a few years, it's possible that no EVs would qualify for the tax credit, said the Alliance of Automotive Innovation, a key industry trade group. As of now, the alliance estimates that about 50 of the 72 electric, hydrogen or plug-in hybrid models that are sold in the United States wouldn't meet the requirements.
Under the $740 billion economic package that Biden signed into law, the tax credits would take effect next year. For an EV buyer to qualify for the full credit, 40% of the metals used in a vehicle's battery must come from North America. By 2027, that required threshold would reach 80%.
If the metals requirement isn't met, the automaker and its buyers would be eligible for half the tax credit, $3,750.
A separate rule would require that half the batteries' value must be manufactured or assembled in North America. If not, the rest of the tax credit would be lost. Those requirements also grow stricter each year, eventually reaching 100% in 2029. Still another rule would require that the EV itself be manufactured in North America, thereby excluding from the tax credit any vehicles made overseas.
The idea behind the requirement is to incentivize domestic manufacturing and mining, build a robust battery supply chain in North America and lessen the industry's dependence on overseas supply chains that could be subject to disruptions.
But production of lithium and other minerals that are used to produce EV batteries is now dominated by China. And the world's leading producer of cobalt, another component of the EV batteries, is the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The tax credit would be available only to couples with incomes of $300,000 or less or single people with income of $150,000 or less. And any trucks or SUVs with sticker prices above $80,000 or cars above $55,000 wouldn't be eligible, knocking many EVs out of the credits.
There's also a new $4,000 credit for buyers of used EVs, a provision that could help modest-income households go electric.
The Treasury Department, which is administering the tax credits, said more guidance will be coming, and it was not in a position to say what vehicles will qualify for credits after all the law's provisions are considered. | https://www.koat.com/article/evs-qualify-new-tax-credit/40912454 | 2022-08-17T18:37:32Z | https://www.koat.com/article/evs-qualify-new-tax-credit/40912454 | false |

Vice President Mike Pence says attacks against the FBI must stop.
"Calls to defund the FBI are just as wrong as calls to defund the police," Pence said at an event in New Hampshire on Wednesday.
Some high-profile Republicans, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, have advocated for defunding the FBI following its raid on former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence.
The "Defund the FBI" slogan could put Republicans at odds with their stance of being the party of "law and order." They were highly critical of Democrats who were calling for police departments to be defunded after the murder of George Floyd.
Former President Trump has not called for the FBI to be defunded, but he has claimed the agency acted maliciously.
Pence acknowledged the raid was out of the ordinary and called on the FBI to be upfront with the American people.
"In the wake of the four years that we endured of the politicization of the FBI, the American people have the right to know the basis for this," Pence said. "This unprecedented action does demand unprecedented transparency." | https://www.kivitv.com/news/national/pence-says-calls-to-defund-the-fbi-are-wrong | 2022-08-17T18:46:06Z | https://www.kivitv.com/news/national/pence-says-calls-to-defund-the-fbi-are-wrong | true |
Brian Kotlyar joins Hightouch as VP Marketing and Growth to help marketers everywhere fix their customer data challenges
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hightouch, the Data Activation platform for businesses with modern data warehouses, today announced two major milestones: the company tripled revenue in the first half of 2022 and added veteran software industry leader Brian Kotlyar to further accelerate growth.
Fortune 500 companies have been investing in their data warehouses and data tools for years, but are struggling to unlock value for their business teams. Hightouch helps more than 1,000 companies move the data from their warehouse to more than 100 SaaS applications automatically and without engineering. Despite signs of a broader economic slowdown, adoption of Hightouch continues to accelerate due to the platform's simple implementation and time to value, its ability to displace expensive legacy tools, and the value it creates for non-technical teams by activating customer data otherwise locked in the warehouse.
"People are waking up to the fact that they don't need custom integrations or months long implementations to activate their data. If they have a data warehouse and Hightouch, then every single person in the company can take action on their data— with the blessing of their data team, and without complicated engineering heavy roll-outs. It's a no-brainer." Kashish Gupta, Co-CEO of Hightouch
Brian Kotlyar, formerly of New Relic, Intercom, and Sprinklr joins the company to lead Marketing and Growth. He brings a track record of helping create billions of dollars in enterprise value at the fastest growing software businesses in the world, most recently helping New Relic triple its growth rate after 6 quarters of decline.
"The time for Data Activation is right now. I've spent almost 20 years trying to solve the exact problems that Hightouch was invented to address—and I'm not alone. Thousands of companies have adopted the modern data warehouse, but still struggle to unlock value for their marketing, sales, success, finance, and operations teams. Honestly, Hightouch empowers business teams so effectively it should probably cost ten times more than it does. As a buyer, it feels like you're getting away with something." - Brian Kotlyar, VP Marketing and Growth of Hightouch
Every business team needs relevant, consistent, and fresh customer data synced to the SaaS tools they use daily to interact with customers. Hightouch is the easiest way to bring data into those tools, all without tedious set-up or specialized engineering help.
In addition to these milestones, in the first half of 2022, Hightouch launched dozens of new platform features, integrations, and destinations, further bolstering its position as a leader in the Data Activation industry:
- Traits: Create calculated fields to supercharge personalization campaigns…no code required
- Sync logs: Log sync data back to the warehouse to dig deeper with the full flexibility of SQL
- Live debugger: Troubleshoot sync issues with complete visibility into errors
- Hightouch Notify: Get notified of important customer events directly in your messaging tools
- dbt exposures: Get end-to-end visibility for how data is flowing between dbt and Hightouch
- Advanced user permissions: Enforce platform governance with granular role- and label-based controls
- Datadog integration: Configure customized sync alerts with Datadog
- Dagster integration: Orchestrate Hightouch syncs from a single operational pane of glass
- Auto-mapping: Map to destination fields faster with smart suggestions
- Snowflake Partner Connect: Launch Hightouch directly from Snowflake
- Databricks Partner Connect: Launch Hightouch directly from Databricks
- Leading the industry in native destinations: Sync data to over 100 SaaS tools that business teams rely on

Founded by early employees of Segment, Hightouch is the world's leading Data Activation platform, which syncs data from data warehouses to over 100 SaaS tools. Hightouch was founded on the notion that every business team—sales, marketing, support, success—needs relevant, accurate, and real-time customer data in the software they use to talk to customers including CRM, email, and support platforms. With data warehouses as the hub for customer data, Hightouch has pioneered the concept of Reverse ETL, which is the easiest way to get data out of data warehouses and into those customer-facing operational systems. Hightouch is based in San Francisco and backed by leading investors such as ICONIQ Growth, Amplify Partners, Bain Capital Ventures, Y-Combinator, and Afore Capital.

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — A 12-year-old Little League World Series player from Utah was in critical condition Tuesday with what his family said was a head injury suffered when he fell off the top bunk of his bed at the dormitory complex.
Easton Oliverson is a pitcher and outfielder for the Snow Canyon team out of Santa Clara, Utah. The Little League World Series is set to begin Wednesday in Williamsport. His dad, Jace Oliverson, is an assistant coach on the team.
“I’ve always been a firm believer of prayer and the power that comes with it, and I feel like if people continue to rally around us that he will make a full recovery,” Oliverson told KSL-TV. “Right now it’s slow. They keep telling me it’s a cross-country race.”
Oliverson gave an update on his son’s condition through Facebook and said doctors told him his son had punctured an artery which caused bleeding on the brain and needed a piece of skull removed.
Oliverson and wife Nancy are with their son at the hospital.
The boy’s uncle has served as family spokesperson and told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Easton fell off the bed while he was sleeping and hit his head.
“We're just at point now where he's just in recovery,” Spencer Beck said in a phone interview. “The teammates heard him fall, thank goodness. When they got into surgery, the doctor talked to Jace and said had he not gotten into surgery but 30 minutes later, he would have been dead.”
A post Tuesday night on an Instagram page dedicated to the boy's recovery said his breathing tube was removed and results from his MRI scan were "very promising."
"Easton keeps proving himself to be the fighter we have always known he is!!" The post said.
Little League World Series officials released a statement Tuesday that said they spoke with the Oliverson family and “were pleased to hear that his medical team remains encouraged by his progress.”
The Santa Clara team was the first from Utah to make the Little League World Series. Snow Canyon is scheduled to play its first game Friday against the winner of teams from Massachusetts and Tennessee.
“As hard as it will be to not have Easton out there playing, they're still from this community, this is still a historical moment for the state, for Little League and for our community,” Beck said. “We're cheering them on and maybe they'll have a little inspiration from Easton and they'll go win it all.

Talks between the NFL and NFL Players Association on a discipline settlement for Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson have progressed. However, it’s uncertain whether the two sides will reach a deal, two people familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
The people spoke to AP on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case.
The sides are seeking a compromise before any punishment is handed down by Peter C. Harvey, a former New Jersey attorney general who was appointed by Commissioner Roger Goodell to rule on the league’s appeal of a six-game suspension already imposed on Watson by an independent disciplinary officer.
Last week, the AP was told Watson was willing to accept an eight-game suspension and $5 million fine. The league has been seeking a lengthier punishment for Watson, who was accused of sexual assault and sexual harassment by two dozen women in Texas.
The three-time Pro Bowl QB was allegedly sexually inappropriate with the women during massage therapy appointments while he played for the Houston Texans. Watson settled 23 of 24 civil lawsuits filed by the women.
It’s not known if Harvey is waiting for the sides to exhaust any possibilities of a settlement before ruling.
A settlement could get Watson on the field this season for the Browns, who traded three first-round draft picks — and five overall — for one of the game’s top QBs in March and signed him to a fully guaranteed $230 million contract.
Watson has always denied any wrongdoing. Shortly before his debut for the Browns last week, Watson apologized for the first time “to all the women I’ve impacted.”
Watson’s contrition came as Harvey considered the league’s appeal of a ruling by independent arbiter Sue L. Robinson, who found the 26-year-old violated the league’s personal conduct policy with his alleged lewd behavior.
Robinson called his actions “egregious” and predatory and while she levied a six-game suspension, the league wasn’t satisfied and appealed. The NFL had been seeking a year-long suspension.
For months, the Browns have operated under the assumption Watson would be out for at least part of the 2022 season. Veteran Jacoby Brissett is slotted to start while Watson is out, but a full-season ban could move the team to hit the market for another quality QB.
Following his apology last week, Watson showed rust in an abbreviated preseason appearance in Jacksonville, his first game action in nearly 600 days. Watson badly overthrew his first pass and finished 1 of 5 for 7 yards in three series.
Brissett began getting the majority of work with Cleveland’s first-team offense this week. He’s not expected to play in Sunday’s home exhibition against Philadelphia. Browns coach Kevin Stefanski hasn’t disclosed the team’s plans for Watson against the Eagles, who will practice with the Browns in Berea, Ohio, on Thursday and Friday.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- IMF staff lauded the Kingdom's economic and financial condition in their final statement made at the end of their visit about Article IV consultation with the Kingdom in 2022. They reiterated their constructive prognosis for the Kingdom's economy in the short and medium term, with further rebound in economic growth rates and inflation control, as well as enhanced strength in the Kingdom's external economic position.
According to the statement, the IMF anticipated the Kingdom's GDP to rise by 7.6% in 2022, the non-oil sector to grow by roughly 4.2%, the current account surplus to climb to 17.2% of GDP, and overall inflation to remain at an average of 2.8%.
The statement noted that the Kingdom successfully dealt with the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), emphasizing that it is in a position to overcome the risks posed by the Ukrainian crisis and the tightening monetary policy cycle in developed economies, noting that the impact of tightening global conditions on the Kingdom's economy is limited due to the banking sector's high levels of liquidity and capitalization. Economic activity is also improving significantly, aided by increased oil prices and government reforms implemented in accordance with Vision 2030.
The report also emphasized that the kingdom's economy's future prognosis is optimistic in the short and medium term, with ongoing recovery of economic growth rates, containment of inflation, and strengthening of its external economic position. The IMF staff noted that the continuation of its implementation of structural reforms will help ensure a strong, comprehensive and environmentally friendly recovery, pointing out that the Kingdom is strongly recovering from pandemic-caused recession, indicating that the support provided by public finances, the momentum of reforms, high oil prices and increased oil production helped the Kingdom recover, as it witnessed a strong boost.THE REAL NON-OIL GDP GREW BY 4.9% IN 2021 driven primarily by the recovery of the manufacturing and retail sectors (including e-commerce) and the commercial sector.
The statement noted that The Kingdom's unemployment rate fell to 10.1% in the first quarter of 2022 as a result of the high rates of employment of Saudi citizens in the private sector, while praising the effective initiatives to increase women's participation in the workforce, which led to exceeding the Kingdom's Vision 2030 targets.
In terms of fiscal policy, the mission applauded the Kingdom's commitment to ensuring the sustainability of public finances and efforts to avoid keeping up with economic cycle tendencies by establishing a spending cap unaffected by oil price variations. IMF staff also expected that public finances would outperform budget forecasts in 2022, and that the debt-to-GDP ratio would decline.
The mission also emphasized that financial stability risks are well contained, as levels of profitability, liquidity, and capitalization are good at the banking system level, and that the impact of further tightening of global monetary policy conditions will be limited on credit growth and non-oil GDP, but positive on banking sector profitability.
The IMF staff's final statement welcomed the Kingdom's efforts regarding climate policies, stressing that the government is working to intensify investments in the production of blue and green hydrogen, in addition to its continuous efforts in research and development with a focus on the circular carbon economy.
For his part, His Excellency the Minister of Finance, Mr. Mohammed bin Abdullah Al-Jadaan, said: The statement highlighted the current indicators and positive future prospects for the Saudi economy, which has overcome many of the obstacles and challenges confronting the global economy over the last two years while maintaining financial sustainability, enhancing the Saudi economy's solidity and strength; stressing the importance of the Kingdom's economic and structural changes under Vision 2030, as well as their contribution to attaining sustainable and inclusive economic growth.
His Excellency welcomed the IMF staff' praise of the Kingdom's efforts to mitigate the economic, social and health effects of the Corona pandemic, stressing that the Kingdom is currently experiencing a strong recovery following the pandemic-induced recession, and that rising oil prices provides an opportunity to accelerate the pace of reforms being implemented under the Saudi Vision 2030.
It is noteworthy that an initial statement was issued by the IMF mission following the conclusion of Article IV consultation with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 2022, which took place during April 2022. This final statement confirms the preliminary findings of the previous statement.

White House Historical Association President Stewart McLaurin Talks to Tony Award-Winning Director Bartlett Sher About the Portrayal of American History in Theater
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The White House Historical Association released a new episode of The White House 1600 Sessions podcast today, "American Storyteller Bartlett Sher," which explores how one of our nation's greatest storytellers uses theater to explain and illuminate stories of American history.
In this episode, Stewart McLaurin, president of the White House Historical Association, and Tony Award-winning director Bartlett Sher discuss the portrayal of the White House and iconic moments in history on the main stage.
"Here in Washington, on any given night, you have White House staff, members of Congress, policymakers, leaders in every sector, in a theater audience," said McLaurin. "What they're seeing has to have an impact on their thinking, and they apply these things to what they're going through in their own lives."
Sher details the process of putting together a story to share with others, and what audiences can take away from his productions.
"Looking for those stories which tell us something about who we are, especially American stories, and bringing them to audiences so they can read, reconsider them, look at them freshly, is one of the tasks of my work," said Sher. "It's one of the great accomplishments of my work when I can pull it off."
Next spring, Sher will direct a revival of the musical Camelot on Broadway, a collaboration with screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, with whom he most recently worked with on a stage adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird. First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy said Camelot was JFK's favorite musical, and after his death, the story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Roundtable came to symbolize the Kennedy administration.
Sher says the new version of Camelot allows Sorkin "to intersect his ideas and interest in the roundtable and democracy, and the struggles of Arthur to make it a special new place" against the ideas of how to make a musical and how to ramp into songs.
When asked by McLaurin what it is like to have a president of the United States in the audience of a play, Sher recalled then-President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama seeing his 2009 revival of playwright August Wilson's Joe Turner's Come and Gone on Broadway, and called the moment "extraordinary."
"When presidents have this close relationship to the arts, it allows there to be better, deeper discourse," continued Sher. "I think it's more powerful, and I think it's really extraordinary."
