EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – In a new filing made by El Paso District Attorney Yvonne Rosales in response to the petition that was filed in August to remove her from the office, she denies the allegations made against her.
In the document, it says the allegations made by the petitioner about Rosales of incompetency and official misconduct failed to show specific facts.
“Petitioner’s claims represent the latest salvo in the ongoing war against democracy that is raging in our country. The idea of losing gracefully has abandoned our collective consciousness. Where in our hearts humble acceptance once prevailed, vengeance now resides.”
Section 11 of filing made by Rosales’s Attorney
KTSM 9 News found documents showing that Rosales’s Attorney was also the subject of a D.A. removal in Ellis County back in 2018.
In the new filing, it requests for the court to require the petitioner to pay $160,000 for security.
As we reported the petitioner who filed with the district clerk is local El Paso Attorney Omar Carmona.
A different court filing was made on Wednesday regarding the D.A.’s Offices alleging intimidation and impersonation of a Walmart shooting victim’s family member.
The filing was signed by attorney Justin Underwood who was appointed to represent the family of Alexander Hoffmann who died in the El Paso Walmart shooting.
Carmona who filed the petition to remove Rosales in August spoke with KTSM 9 News about the allegations regarding the Walmart shooting victim’s family and the D.A.’s Office.
“I thought what I had filed initially was enough to seek Ms. Rosales’s removal. But after reading this now more than ever before, it’s only re-enforced that this change has to be made at the top of the d-a’s office,” said Carmona.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Three Jacksonville firefighters who died in the line of duty are being honored in Emmitsburg, Maryland this weekend.
It’s an annual ceremony held by the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation.
Michael Freeland died suddenly while working a traffic crash in November 2021.
Autopsy results showed he died of a brain hemorrhage. He was 36 years old.
His sister says this weekend’s memorial will be heartwarming.
“God is our strength, family, friends and loved ones are just helping so much with that process,” said Lauryn Feacher, Freeland’s sister.
They are a spiritual family, relying on their faith to get them through the tough times.
“He was my bestfriend and he was like a second dad and he was a confidant because I called him pretty much any and everything,” said Feacher.
He died in the line of duty in November while trying to save a woman from a crashed UHAUL.
Lauryn and her mom, dad and other family members are going to Maryland to witness Freeland’s induction into the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation.
Mario Moya and Thomas Barber also died in the line of duty last year as JFRD firemen. They, too, will be honored.
“I’m really looking forward to meeting other families that are also dealing with this same loss of losing someone, a member of the family who was a fire fighter,” said Feacher.
There will be candlelight vigils, a red helmet ride and a time for families to reflect.
Lauryn calls it a much needed weekend to remember her brother and best friend. | https://www.firstcoastnews.com/article/news/local/fallen-jacksonville-firefighter-to-be-honored-by-national-fallen-firefighters-foundation-michael-freeland-mario-moya-thomas-barber/77-3794e6ae-c652-460d-b822-d3683456a748 | 2022-10-07T04:51:10 | en | 0.982392 |

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK (KFOR) — Oklahoma City police have identified a man accused of a reported sexual assault at a metro Halloween store in late September. He was identified after a Facebook post by the Oklahoma City Police Department was shared over 2,000 times.
He’s accused of the crime that reportedly occurred inside a Halloween store in the Oklahoma City Outlets mall. According to a police report, the man was wearing a long-haired black wig, a pearl necklace, a red corset, and black pantyhose when the incident happened.
KFOR went to the business to get details but were pointed to their regional manager.
“I will tell you that we are investigating it ourselves. I know the police are, as well,” the regional manager told KFOR over the phone. “We’re trying to cooperate as much as we can.”
Other than that, the business declined to comment.
In a Facebook post, a family member of the victim claimed the man lured their disabled family member to a back corner of the store and sexually assaulted her.
Several details of the incident are unclear at this time. It should be emphasized that these are currently only allegations. No one has been arrested. | https://www.ktsm.com/news/man-accused-of-sexual-assault-in-ok-halloween-store/ | 2022-10-07T04:51:16 | en | 0.98136 |
LOS ANGELES — Judy Tenuta, a brash standup who cheekily styled herself as the "Goddess of Love” and toured with George Carlin as she built her career in the 1980s golden age of comedy, died Thursday. She was 72.
Tenuta died Thursday afternoon at home in Los Angeles, with her family around her, publicist Roger Neal told The Associated Press. The cause of death was ovarian cancer.
“She was a very funny, amazing performer," Neal said, and it was always a “happy time to be around her."
Tenuta had claimed her birthdate as Nov. 7, 1965, but she was born in 1949, Neal said. “She was old school so she would never tell her real age, but now that she’s gone we can tell her real age,” he added.
Her heart-shaped face, topped by bouffant hair with a flower accent, conveyed an impression of sweet innocence that was quickly shattered by her loud, gravelly delivery and acidic humor, expletives included. The accordion she made part of her act was “an instrument of love and submission,” as she fondly called it.
She was among a generation of performers who drove the popularity of live comedy in clubs nationwide including the Comedy Store in Los Angeles, Laff Stop in Houston and Caroline’s in New York City. A typically male-dominated field found room for women, including Tenuta.
“Devastated to hear of the passing of my dear, dear friend, the lovely Miss Judy Tenuta. I can’t believe she’s gone,” tweeted Weird Al Yankovic, who worked with her on his 1990s TV series and a 2006 music video. “Earth has truly lost a goddess.”
Michael McKean, of “Spinal Tap" fame, tweeted, “One of a kind. Damn.”
Tenuta gained national attention in 1987 with “On Location: Women of the Night,” a HBO special in which she starred with Ellen DeGeneres, Paula Poundstone and Rita Rudner.
In 1988′s “American Comedy Awards” TV special, Tenuta was named best female comedy club performer opposite male winner Jerry Seinfeld. Other honorees that year for their club or screen work included Robin Williams, Lily Tomlin and Bette Midler.
“I would trade it in a minute, if I could just be a wife and mother,” wisecracked the gold lamé-wrapped, gum-chewing Tenuta, who accepted her award from Carlin.
She was a frequent guest on late-night talk shows and game shows and with radio shock jock Howard Stern. Her acting and voiceover credits were eclectic, including appearances on “The Weird Al Show" and “Space Ghost Coast to Coast.” She appeared onstage in "The Vagina Monologues” in Los Angeles and Chicago.
Tenuta was a two-time Grammy nominee, getting back-to-back nominations in 1995 and 1996 for best spoken word comedy album for “Attention Butt Pirates and Lesbetarians” and “In Goddess We Trust.”
She was a supporter of LGBTQ rights, took part in pride festivals and counted members of the queer community as enthusiastic fans. On her website, she said that as an ordained minister of Judyism she was “available for same sex marriages!”
Tenuta grew up in the Chicago suburb of Maywood, attending Catholic schools that included one she dubbed “St. Obnoxious and Bondage.” She said she was the “isolated, petite flower” — Petite Flower becoming one of her stage nicknames — in a Catholic family that included six brothers.
After graduating college, she worked at odd jobs that included wrapping meat and taking inventory at an outlet for Catholic religious attire.
“I got fired because they caught me trying the stuff on,” Tenuta said a 1989 interview with The Associated Press. “So the boss came in, and I guess he got kind of upset. And I said, ‘Well, I have to see if they look good, pig. I’m trying to make improvements for these broads.”’
Tenuta went on to join the Chicago comedy troupe Second City before starting her solo standup career. Despite her outlandish clothes and bizarre stage appearance, Tenuta said most people caught on immediately to her act, which included the self-centered “Judyism” religion.
“In my religion, I’m the only one that gets to complain. The really nice thing about my religion is you can forget all about your problems and think about mine for a while,” she told AP. | https://www.firstcoastnews.com/article/news/nation-world/comedian-judy-tenuta-dead-at-72/507-38e1b702-6787-4110-828b-c0eb9629fb45 | 2022-10-07T04:51:16 | en | 0.984585 |

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — The number of children swallowing batteries rose significantly during the pandemic, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Increased hospital visits appear to mirror the increase in devices in our homes using button or disc batteries.
And the batteries babies may be ingesting are more dangerous than ever.
As with many other toddlers, everything 19 month-old Remi touches goes right in the mouth. In July, mom Megan Hulleman and dad RJ Hulleman of Alton, Iowa, could not have imagined the next chapter of their lives when Remi found the remote control for the ceiling fan.
“She dropped the fan remote, and the two batteries had popped out. I [said], ‘Remi bring them here,’ so she brought them over, and I had put the two batteries up here on our couch,” said Megan.
Before she knew it, Remi had swallowed both of the button batteries. They rushed her to the hospital by ambulance: Remi’s esophagus was starting to swell because the batteries were already corroded and stuck to one another.
“They had to push them back down into the stomach because they could not pull them out, and in doing that, the acid burned her throat,” said RJ.
Pediatric Surgeon Adam Gorra was called in. He says he knew they had to act quickly because acid isn’t the only danger these batteries pose.
“…The electrical charge can cause kind of an electrical burn in the esophagus,” said Dr. Gorra. “This electrical burn extends through the wall of the esophagus over time and within about four hours, you can have permanent damage.”
Dr. Gorra was eventually able to move the batteries into Remi’s stomach where he could surgically remove them.
“It was a total of seven and a half hours she was in surgery,” said RJ. “It was the scariest time I’ve ever had.”
Megan says despite how terrifying the situation was, she’d originally figured they’d be in-and-out of the hospital that day.
But it would be eight days before Megan and RJ would get to hold Remi again. She spent weeks in the hospital.
Megan says as a parent, there’s a certain amount of guilt that goes with seeing your child go through something like this. She wants other parents to understand how dangerous button batteries can be for kids.
“It was a freak accident, and I’m thankful we have our daughter, and she is doing amazing, but it is still really hard as a parent to wonder if we could have done something different,” said Megan. “I kind of replay: ‘Maybe we should have put it up higher. Maybe I shouldn’t have picked her up.’ But I can’t go back. But I can try to prevent it from happening again or prevent another family from going through what we had to go through.”
Remmy’s prognosis is good. She’s undergoing procedures to stretch her esophagus so she can eat normal food.
Dr. Gorra says it’s much safer if the battery makes it all the way to the stomach. A single battery can usually be passed through the body without surgery. | https://www.ktsm.com/news/toddler-hospitalized-for-8-days-after-swallowing-button-batteries/ | 2022-10-07T04:51:22 | en | 0.97904 |

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — To see some of top high school football players in the country, all you have to do is look to the Under Armour All-America game. Every year, close to 100 of the best seniors are selected to compete at the highest level.
Lincoln's Raylen Wilson is one of those guys this year. The Georgia commit received his jersey Thursday morning, and said it means a lot to be recognized so early in his career. He is just the third Trojan to receive the honor, and he can't wait to represent in front of a national audience come January.
"This is the start of my legacy. Just building off of my dad's legacy. He set the foundation for me and my siblings and I'm just carrying on what he taught us," he said. "It feels great to be a part of legacy of the great players before me. I plan on continuing on building on that legacy."
This year's Under Armour All-America game is set to be played January 3rd in Orlando. Wilson said as soon as it's over, he'll head to Athens to begin his collegiate career with Georgia. | https://www.wtxl.com/sports/high-school-sports/lincoln-football-standout-receives-under-armour-all-america-jersey | 2022-10-07T04:52:18 | en | 0.990552 |

LA COLOMA, Cuba (AP) — Soldiers fix roofs and raise power poles under a blazing sun, while teachers salvage wet school books and residents cook over wood fires in La Coloma, a fishing and industrial town on Cuba’s coast that took the brunt of Hurricane Ian.
Ten days after the storm left still unquantified devastation across western Cuba, and knocked out the power grid nationwide, many Cubans are still without electricity, water or basic goods. The destruction from Ian has piled onto the hardship of people who had already been suffering through scarcity and shortages in recent years.
“The ceiling was damaged, the mattress got wet,” said homemaker Yaneysi Polier, who looked scared as she stirred a pot with pressed ham and lard cooking over coals on the floor of the patio of her house. Her still-wet mattress was in the sun drying.
“The refrigerator was found in the mud by our neighbor’s house. We set up something to sleep on. The water was up to our chests,” she said.
Only 15% of western Pinar del Río province has electricity and no one has their power back in La Coloma, a town of some 7,000 people 125 miles (200 kilometers) southwest of Havana.
Repeated blackouts on Cuba’s already fragile electric grid were among the causes of the island’s largest social protests in decades in July 2021. Thousands of people, weary of power failures and shortages of goods exacerbated by the pandemic and U.S. sanctions, turned out in cities across the island to vent their anger and some also lashed out at the government. Hundreds were arrested and prosecuted, prompting harsh criticism of the administration of President Miguel Diaz-Canel.
The recent arrival of Ian caused three deaths and in Pinar del Rio province damaged 63,000 homes, thousands of which were destroyed. Cuba had a deficit of about 800,000 houses even before the hurricane struck.
La Coloma is home to the state Industrial Fishing Combine, which processes 40% of the lobster caught on the island, most of which is exported. It also processes bonito and snapper fish, and residents say it was high season when Ian struck. Twelve fishing boats were damaged, some sunk.
Maribel Rodríguez is staying in an emergency shelter in a primary school along with her pregnant daughter-in-law, who is about to give birth. She said they will name the baby Ian.
“This hurricane took everything from me,” Rodríguez said. “My house was not good, but it had many things of value — a refrigerator, a television, living room furniture, beds and kitchenware — and I had earned those with my sacrifice. This is very painful.”
Both Rodríguez and her son work in the fishing plant complex and they worry about it shutting down in the middle of lobster season.
“Here, the only place to work is the combine and I have been there for many years. You have to make a living,” she said.
Ian hit Cuba with winds of more than 125 mph (200 kph) on Sept. 27. It not only affected Pinar de Rio, but also the provinces of Artemisa, Mayabeque and Havana More than 30,000 people were evacuated ahead of the hurricane’s arrival.
Besides the damage to houses, the power infrastructure and industry, the Ministry of Agriculture estimated that Ian damaged 8,583 hectares (21,210 acres) of crops in the three provinces, especially bananas, cassava, sweet potatoes, corn, rice and tomatoes.
Cuba’s gross domestic product fell 11% in 2020 amid the pandemic and only rose 2% in 2021. Tourism has not recovered from the COVID-19 travel paralysis and U.S. sanctions pressing for political change in the island continue to squeeze its economy. Authorities expect the damage from Ian to further batter the economy.
Along with La Coloma, one of the hardest hit municipalities was nearby San Luis, a region that produces some of the best tobacco in the world.
Tobacco grower Hiroshi Robaina, looking at his devastated drying houses and seedbeds, thinks that this year he will have to plant his fields with beans.
“I doubt very much there can be any tobacco production this year because there is no infrastructure,” he said. “The damage to the nurseries was monstrous.”
Robaina, whose plantation is so important it has its own brand, said, “A miracle has to happen.”
He said at least 100 small tobacco farmers suffered losses of 100% and called for the government to subsidize reconstruction. Pinar del Río contributes 80% of the tobacco that Cuba produces.
“Tobacco, although it is not something that is going to save the Cuban economy, is an export item,” said Ricardo Torres, a Cuban economist and researcher at the Center for Latin American Studies at American University in Washington. “In Cuba, with what little there is, what is lost is very bad news.”
“This is a country that at this time does not have resources,” Torres said.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Gov. J.B. Pritzker and his Republican challenger Darren Bailey used an hourlong debate Thursday finding different ways to call each other “liar” with Election Day fewer than five weeks away.
The Democratic incumbent and the southern Illinois state senator disagreed over the other's handling of or position on the state budget, regulating assault-style weapons, abortion and crime — particularly the justice system overhaul Pritzker signed last year known as the SAFE-T Act.
To Pritzker, the upstart Republican and relative legislative newcomer is a “hypocrite” on the issues for which he attacks the governor.
According to Bailey, Pritzker's handling of crime, property taxes and education is “crushing” the state, “all because J.B. Pritzker is hell-bent on becoming the most radical leftist governor in America. ... This man is dangerous.”
Pritzker, elected in 2018 amid the aftermath of a budget stalemate that left the state billions of dollars in debt, boasted before an audience at Illinois State University in Normal of the way he paid down debt and balanced the budget for four years. Bailey claimed that Pritzker did so with federal relief money for the COVID-19 pandemic and by not paying the full amount necessary to fund employee pension systems.
Bailey contended he would cut taxes with a “reprioritization of spending” and zero-based budgeting. Pritzker said his management of the budget has proven successful and with billions of debt paid down, his continued leadership could mean lower taxes in the future.
Pritzker said he would not repeat his 2020 attempt to change the constitutionally required flat income tax to force wealthier residents to pay more, contending that his management of finances has produced budget surpluses the last two years.
Pritzker is heavily favored in the race, and has outraised Bailey dramatically. The 57-year-old billionaire equity investor and philanthropist had $60 million in the bank on June 30 and has contributed $20 million of his own money since. Bailey had just under $2 million on hand last summer and raised $360,000 since.
Noting his fundraising for Democrats nationally and a trip last spring to New Hampshire, Bailey dramatically pulled from his vest pocket a paper he said is a pledge he has signed to serve a full four-year term and not duck out to run for president. Pritzker ignored Bailey’s invitation to join in signing, but said he planned to finish a second term and supports the re-election of President Joe Biden.
Bailey, 56, a farmer from the southern Illinois town of Xenia, 96 miles (154 kilometers) east of St. Louis, has attacked Pritzker over crime in the state. Like many Republicans seeking election this fall, he has also taken aim at the Pritzker-approved SAFE-T Act, a criminal justice system overhaul approved in early 2021 that attempts to thwart excessive force by police, sets new standards for policing — including expanding the use of body cameras — and ends the use of cash bail for criminal suspects.
That means a “revolving door” for jails statewide, Bailey said while Pritzker interjected, “Lies. More lies. He's not telling the truth.”
“The criminal justice system that Darren Bailey and Republicans are standing up for is one that allows murderers and rapists and domestic abusers to buy their way out of jail,” Pritzker said. Among other critics, an Illinois Supreme Court panel has recommended bail reform, noting the economic damage done to someone who can't afford to pay.
Pritzker also called Thursday for a federal ban on assault-style weapons like the type used in the July 4th mass shooting in Highland Park, saying “No one should have that kind of firepower.” However, he defended not having a statewide assault-style weapons ban in place because the General Assembly has set up a task force to study the issue. Pritzker's defense came after he criticized Bailey for suggesting the study of another issue — free community colleges — with other state leaders.
After the the Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade opinion legalizing abortion, Pritzker promised legislative action to strengthen abortion access in Illinois, which already allows virtually unfettered access to abortion up to the point of fetal viability, with abortion allowed after viability when the mother's health or life is in jeopardy.
Thursday, Pritzker said he didn't support changes to allow abortion beyond viability — about 24 to 26 weeks.
“The law that we have in place now ... is what we should keep in place,” Pritzker said.
The Democrat has promoted Bailey's opposition to abortion rights in numerous political ads, but Bailey reiterated Thursday he wouldn't press the issue because it's unlikely to win a Democratic Legislature's approval.
“My focus is going to be crime, taxes and education,” Bailey said. “ ... J.B. Pritzker wants to fear monger and put all of this nonsense out there (about abortion) that can’t be changed anyway. And it needs to stop. We need to focus on uniting this state.”

Today in History
Today is Friday, Oct. 7, the 280th day of 2022. There are 85 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Oct. 7, 1991, University of Oklahoma law professor Anita Hill publicly accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of making sexually inappropriate comments when she worked for him; Thomas denied Hill’s allegations and would go on to win Senate confirmation.
On this date:
In 1765, the Stamp Act Congress convened in New York to draw up colonial grievances against England.
In 1916, in the most lopsided victory in college football history, Georgia Tech defeated Cumberland University 222-0 in Atlanta.
In 1949, the Republic of East Germany was formed.
In 1982, the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice musical “Cats” opened on Broadway. (The show closed Sept. 10, 2000, after a record 7,485 performances.)
In 1985, Palestinian gunmen hijacked the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro (ah-KEE’-leh LOW’-roh) in the Mediterranean. (The hijackers shot and killed Leon Klinghoffer, a Jewish-American tourist in a wheelchair, and pushed him overboard, before surrendering on Oct. 9.)
In 1989, Hungary’s Communist Party renounced Marxism in favor of democratic socialism during a party congress in Budapest.
In 1992, trade representatives of the United States, Canada and Mexico initialed the North American Free Trade Agreement during a ceremony in San Antonio, Texas, in the presence of President George H.W. Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney (muhl-ROO’-nee) and Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari.
In 1996, Fox News Channel made its debut.
In 1998, Matthew Shepard, a gay college student, was beaten and left tied to a wooden fencepost outside of Laramie, Wyoming; he died five days later. (Russell Henderson and Aaron McKinney are serving life sentences for Shepard’s murder.)
In 2001, the war in Afghanistan started as the United States and Britain launched air attacks against military targets and Osama bin Laden’s training camps in the wake of the September 11 attacks.
In 2003, California voters recalled Gov. Gray Davis and elected Arnold Schwarzenegger their new governor.
In 2020, President Donald Trump returned to the Oval Office for the first time since he was diagnosed with COVID-19; he credited an experimental drug treatment with helping his recovery. Debating from behind plexiglass shields, Vice President Mike Pence and Democrat Kamala Harris zeroed in on Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, with Harris labeling it “the greatest failure of any presidential administration” while Pence defended the overall response.
Ten years ago: Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez won re-election for the third time. (Chavez died in March 2013 at age 58 after a two-year battle with cancer; he was succeeded by Vice President Nicolas Maduro.)
Five years ago: Country music star Jason Aldean, who had been on stage at an outdoor concert in Las Vegas less than a week earlier when a gunman opened fire on the crowd, paid tribute to the victims and to the late Tom Petty by opening “Saturday Night Live” with Petty’s song, “I Won’t Back Down.” Protesters rallied across Russia in a challenge to President Vladimir Putin on his 65th birthday; heeding calls from opposition leader Alexei Navalny to pressure authorities into letting him enter the presidential race.
One year ago: Abortions quickly resumed in at least six Texas clinics after a federal judge halted the most restrictive abortion law in the nation. (A federal appeals court would allow the law to go back into effect the following day.) The Senate dodged a U.S. debt disaster, voting to extend the government’s borrowing authority into December and temporarily avert an unprecedented federal default. (The House would approve the extension days later.) Google said it would crack down on digital ads promoting false claims about climate change, in hopes of limiting revenue for climate change deniers and stopping the spread of misinformation.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The piping-hot U.S. job market may be cooling off, if only slightly.
But what business managers, policymakers, investors and economists want to know is this: How cool would be cool enough for the inflation fighters at the Federal Reserve to begin to ease their aggressive interest rate hikes?
The government’s jobs report for September, coming Friday morning, is expected to show that employers added 250,000 jobs last month, according to a survey of economists by the data firm FactSet. That would be the lowest monthly gain since December 2020 and would mark a drop from an average of 438,000 from January through August. Yet by any historical standard, it would still amount to a healthy total.
Forecasters also expect the unemployment rate to stay at an extraordinarily low 3.7%.
The Fed is engaged in an epic battle to rein in inflation, which was running at a 40-year high in June and has eased only slightly since. The Fed has raised its benchmark interest rate five times this year. It is aiming to slow economic growth enough to reduce annual price increases back toward its 2% target.
It has a long way to go. In August, one key measure of year-over-year inflation, the consumer price index, amounted to 8.3%.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell has warned bluntly that the inflation fight would “bring some pain," notably in the form of layoffs and higher unemployment. Some economists remain hopeful that despite the persistent inflation pressures, the Fed will still manage to achieve a so-called soft landing: Slowing growth enough to tame inflation, without going so far as to tip the economy into recession.
It’s a tricky task. And the Fed is trying to accomplish it at a perilous time. The global economy, weakened by food shortages and surging energy prices resulting from Russia's war against Ukraine, may be on the brink of recession. Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, warned Thursday that the IMF is downgrading its estimates for world economic growth by $4 trillion through 2026 and that “things are more likely to get worse before it gets better.’’
Public anger over high prices and fear over the prospect of recession also carry political consequences as President Joe Biden’s Democratic Party struggles to maintain control over Congress in November’s midterm elections.
Meantime, the Fed is closely monitoring the job market. Many employers have failed over the past couple of years to fill all the jobs they need, and they’ve bid up wages to try to attract or keep workers. Those higher wages are feeding inflation as companies raise prices to offset their higher labor costs.
Powell and his colleagues on the Fed’s policymaking committee want to see signs that the abundance of available jobs — there are now 1.7 openings for every unemployed American — will steadily decline. Many economists viewed the pace of hiring in August, when employers added 315,000 jobs, as a Goldilocks achievement: Warm but not so warm as to alarm the Fed and force it to jack up borrowing rates even more aggressively.
Some encouraging news came this week, when the Labor Department reported that job openings fell by 1.1 million in August to 10.1 million, the fewest since June 2021.
Nick Bunker, head of economic research at the Indeed Hiring Lab, suggested that among the items on “the soft landing flight checklist’’ is “a decline in job openings without a spike in the unemployment rate, and that’s what we’ve seen the last few months."
On the other hand, by the standard of history, openings remain extraordinarily high: In records dating to 2000, they had never topped 10 million in a month until last year.
“There are still 10.1 million jobs open,’’ noted Michelle Reisdorf, who oversees operations for the human resources consulting firm Robert Half in Illinois and Indiana. “Candidates still have options. It’s not like they have one job to look at.’’
Economist Daniel Zhou of the jobs website Glassdoor argued that a single-minded focus on the job market might be overdone. Regardless of what happens with jobs and wages, Zhou suggested, the Fed's policymakers won’t likely relent on their rate-hike campaign until they see proof that they’re actually hitting their target.
“They want to see inflation slowing down," he said. | https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/US-hiring-likely-slowed-last-month-which-may-be-17492929.php | 2022-10-07T04:53:39 | en | 0.965591 |

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — At least one person died while police clashed with soccer fans trying to push into an Argentine league match Thursday night, and the referee stopped the game as clouds of tear gas spread inside the stadium.
Authorities and witnesses said fans of the home team, Gimnasia y Esgrima, struggled to enter an already full stadium, and police fired rubber bullets and tear gas trying to get the crowd to retreat.
The incident came less than a week after the use of tear gas outside a soccer match in Indonesia set off a stampede that left 131 people dead.
Nine minutes into Thursday night's match between Gimnasia and Boca Juniors, referee Hernán Mastrángelo suspended play. The league said on Twitter that he acted because of the lack of security.
Players retreated to their changing rooms, and many spectators flooded onto the field trying to escape the tear gas.
“Unfortunately there is one person dead. He died of a heart problem,” Sergio Berni, security minister of the province, told Todo Noticias.
Berni gave no details about the circumstances in which that person died.
Only Gimnasia fans were in Juan Carmelo Zerillo stadium in La Plata, since Buenos Aires province banned supporters of visiting teams from games in 2013 amid frequent outbreaks of violence
The Argentine Football Association said in a tweet that it "expresses its commitment to continue working to eradicate this kind of episode that tarnish the football party.”
No new date was announced for resuming the game.
Some fans claimed there had been overselling of tickets amid excitement over the match between two teams fighting for the league title, saying people likely became anger when they could not get into the stadium.
In its security protocols, FIFA advises against the use of tear gas in or around stadiums in order to avoid risky situations such as in La Plata or in the Indonesian city of Malanga last Saturday, when many of the dead were crushed to death during the stampede of fans.

DENVER (AP) — Stephon Gilmore batted away Russell Wilson’s pass to Courtland Sutton in the end zone on fourth-and-1 from the 5 to give the Indianapolis Colts a 12-9 overtime victory over the Denver Broncos on Thursday night.
“That’s the definition of a big-time player making big plays in the moment," Colts coach Frank Reich said of Gilmore, who also intercepted Wilson’s pass in the fourth quarter to help set up Chase McLauglin’s tying field goal.
“Isn’t it awesome you can have a game like that and still win," Reich said.
McLauglin connected from 47 yards 4:10 into overtime to give the Colts (2-2-1) the lead in the first game in NFL history that pitted quarterbacks with at least four Pro Bowl appearances each yet featured zero touchdowns.
The Broncos (2-3) decided against a tying chip-shot field goal by Brandon McManus or even a first-down play on fourth-and-less-and-a-yard from the 5, and Wilson lined up in the shotgun next to running back Melvin Gordon, then threw incomplete over the middle.
“We wanted to win the game,” Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said. “We hadn't moved the ball very well the whole night and I though we had a spectacular drive to get all the way down there.”
Wide open and uncovered — but unseen by Wilson — was KJ Hamler, who tore off his helmet and slammed it to the ground after Wilson's final pass was batted away, sending the Broncos and their awful offense to their second loss in four days.
“There's going to be a bunch of what-ifs,” Broncos guard Dalton Risner said. “You know what, if we score that touchdown, everyone thinks it's the best call in the world.”
Matt Ryan grinded out the victory despite throwing two interceptions into the hands of safety Caden Sterns, fumbling for the 10th time this season and getting sacked six times, giving him 21 so far.
Although there were a half dozen fumbles in the game, none were recovered by the defense.
McLaughlin sent it to overtime with a 31-yarder with 5 seconds left in regulation after Gilmore intercepted Wilson's pass to Jerry Jeudy in the end zone on third-and-4 from the 13.
That kick capped the Colts' longest drive of the night, 68 yards in 10 plays.
The Colts won the overtime coin toss and Ryan drove them into field-goal range again.
Many fans were wondering if this game would be one of revenge — Phillip Lindsay returning to his hometown to beat the Broncos — or redemption — Gordon atoning for his big fumble Sunday that was returned 68 yards for a touchdown by the Raiders.
It turned out to be neither.
Lindsay ran for 40 yards on 11 carries ad Gordon had 54 yards on 15 carries, but he was flipped by safety Rodney McLoyd Jr. at the 6 on his way to the end zone when it appeared he had an open path to the winning touchdown.
Sterns picked off two of Ryan's passes, the second one leading to a 45-yard field goal and a 9-6 lead with 3:19 left in the third quarter. But the boobirds were out again at Empower Field after Andrew Beck dropped a touchdown pass two plays after Sterns’ second interception.
The prime-time game was a streaming snooze-fest pitting veteran quarterbacks struggling with their new teams, both of whom were missing their best running back and several key defenders.
It looked like neither team practiced much during the week because neither team did as they worked in new running backs and replaced key defenders on a short work week.
And as is common on Thursday nights, there was a rash of injuries with the most serious to Indy’s Kwity Payne (leg) and Denver’s Garett Bolles (right knee), both of whom were carted oft.
The only scoring before halftime came on field goals of 33 and 44 yards by McManus and a 52-yarder by McLaughlin with 12 seconds left before the break.
McLaughlin’s 51-yarder tied it in the third quarter, and Grover Stewart preserved the tie by blocking McManus’ attempt from 34 yards after Courtland Sutton’s 51-yard catch in which he wrested the ball from teammate Montrell Washington.
With reigning NFL champion Jonathan Taylor (ankle, toe) out for Indy and the Broncos lamenting the loss of Javonte Williams to a shredded right knee, the grind-it-out nature of the game was entirely expected.
The Colts came in averaging 14.3 points a game, the lowest in Ryan’s 16-year career, and the Broncos entered the night avearging 16.5 points, the worst in Wilson’s 11-year career.
Nyheim Hines got the start for Indy, but he went out with a head injury after his third snap when D.J. Jones knocked him down and Hines’ helmet bounced on the ground. He wobbled as he tried to leave the field on his own and had to be guided to the sideline, where he was evaluated for a concussion.
INJURIES
Paye was injured on Rodney Thomas II’s 35-yard interception return. When Hines wobbled after getting to his feet, the medical personnel rushed onto the field and helped him to the sideline, taking no chances of a repeat of what happened to Tua Tagovailoa and Cameron Brate last week. Starting C Ryan Kelly (hip) and WR Austin Dulin (foot) also got hurt.
The Broncos lost two starting defenders to knee injuries just before halftime, ILB Josey Jewell and CB Ronald Darby. Wilson was evaluated for a head injury after his interception but was cleared and didn’t miss any snaps. DE Dre’Mont Jones also was evaluated for a concussion in the fourth quarter. LB Baron Browning injured a wrist in the fourth quarter before Bolles was carted off with a leg injury.
UP NEXT
The Colts host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, Oct. 16, and the Broncos visit the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night, Oct. 17.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK (KFOR) — Oklahoma City police have identified a man accused of a reported sexual assault at a metro Halloween store in late September. He was identified after a Facebook post by the Oklahoma City Police Department was shared over 2,000 times.
He’s accused of the crime that reportedly occurred inside a Halloween store in the Oklahoma City Outlets mall. According to a police report, the man was wearing a long-haired black wig, a pearl necklace, a red corset, and black pantyhose when the incident happened.
KFOR went to the business to get details but were pointed to their regional manager.
“I will tell you that we are investigating it ourselves. I know the police are, as well,” the regional manager told KFOR over the phone. “We’re trying to cooperate as much as we can.”
Other than that, the business declined to comment.
In a Facebook post, a family member of the victim claimed the man lured their disabled family member to a back corner of the store and sexually assaulted her.
Several details of the incident are unclear at this time. It should be emphasized that these are currently only allegations. No one has been arrested. | https://fox4kc.com/news/national/man-accused-of-sexual-assault-in-ok-halloween-store/ | 2022-10-07T04:54:31 | en | 0.98136 |

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — The number of children swallowing batteries rose significantly during the pandemic, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Increased hospital visits appear to mirror the increase in devices in our homes using button or disc batteries.
And the batteries babies may be ingesting are more dangerous than ever.
As with many other toddlers, everything 19 month-old Remi touches goes right in the mouth. In July, mom Megan Hulleman and dad RJ Hulleman of Alton, Iowa, could not have imagined the next chapter of their lives when Remi found the remote control for the ceiling fan.
“She dropped the fan remote, and the two batteries had popped out. I [said], ‘Remi bring them here,’ so she brought them over, and I had put the two batteries up here on our couch,” said Megan.
Before she knew it, Remi had swallowed both of the button batteries. They rushed her to the hospital by ambulance: Remi’s esophagus was starting to swell because the batteries were already corroded and stuck to one another.
“They had to push them back down into the stomach because they could not pull them out, and in doing that, the acid burned her throat,” said RJ.
Pediatric Surgeon Adam Gorra was called in. He says he knew they had to act quickly because acid isn’t the only danger these batteries pose.
“…The electrical charge can cause kind of an electrical burn in the esophagus,” said Dr. Gorra. “This electrical burn extends through the wall of the esophagus over time and within about four hours, you can have permanent damage.”
Dr. Gorra was eventually able to move the batteries into Remi’s stomach where he could surgically remove them.
“It was a total of seven and a half hours she was in surgery,” said RJ. “It was the scariest time I’ve ever had.”
Megan says despite how terrifying the situation was, she’d originally figured they’d be in-and-out of the hospital that day.
But it would be eight days before Megan and RJ would get to hold Remi again. She spent weeks in the hospital.
Megan says as a parent, there’s a certain amount of guilt that goes with seeing your child go through something like this. She wants other parents to understand how dangerous button batteries can be for kids.
“It was a freak accident, and I’m thankful we have our daughter, and she is doing amazing, but it is still really hard as a parent to wonder if we could have done something different,” said Megan. “I kind of replay: ‘Maybe we should have put it up higher. Maybe I shouldn’t have picked her up.’ But I can’t go back. But I can try to prevent it from happening again or prevent another family from going through what we had to go through.”
Remmy’s prognosis is good. She’s undergoing procedures to stretch her esophagus so she can eat normal food.
Dr. Gorra says it’s much safer if the battery makes it all the way to the stomach. A single battery can usually be passed through the body without surgery. | https://fox4kc.com/news/national/toddler-hospitalized-for-8-days-after-swallowing-button-batteries/ | 2022-10-07T04:54:38 | en | 0.97904 |

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — About 100,000 acres of Missouri farmland are foreign owned and nearly half of that is owned by a company from China, according to the Missouri Department of Agriculture.
Gov. Mike Parson signed two bills into law Wednesday, one of which extended tax credits for farmers. A concern for some lawmakers while working on the legislation during special session was that some foreign-owned farms and companies would benefit from the credits.
The governor saying it can wait to be addressed when the General Assembly returns in January.
“You’ve got to kind of walk a fine line when you call a special session,” Parson said. “These are things that can be done during the legislative session, but they didn’t get it done.”
Of Missouri’s 27.5 million acres of farmland, 99,500 acres are foreign owned, about .4%. Some countries with the biggest ownership include China with 42,596 acres, New Zealand with 16,271 acres, Spain with 13,742 acres, German with 5,202 acres, Switzerland with 4,507 acres and the Netherlands with 3,004 acres.
“We need to protect our land, we need to protect not only for those who are currently farming but for those who come after us, for our children who want to take up the same professions that we do,” said Sen. Mike Moon, R-Ash Grove, a cattle farmer in southern Missouri.
During the special session to reauthorize tax credits for farmers, Moon along with a few other lawmakers proposed to exclude foreign ownership from receiving the incentives.
“Is there anything we could do to disincentive them coming in and taking up usable, tillable land and protect Missourians who might come after us to take up that opportunity for themselves?,” Moon asked the bill’s Senate sponsor, Sen. Jason Bean, R-Holcomb.
“I think we’ll have some opportunities in the future where we can do that, we need to look into that for sure,” Bean, a farmer in the Bootheel, said to Moon.
According to the Missouri Department of Agriculture, of China’s 42,000 acres, nearly all of that belongs to “Murphy Brown of Missouri, LLC” now owns Smithfield Foods, a major hog operation.
Back in 2015, lawmakers approved a provision that does not allow foreign owned farmland buyers to apply through the Department of Agriculture.
“I don’t know if a campaign that goes by where I don’t see a mailer that’s put out about this,” said Sen. Bill Eige, R-Weldon Spring. “I see ads where folks are very upset about the idea that countries that may not be very positive towards the United States and Missouri, like China, own land.”
It’s a topic that has gained traction in the current U.S. Senate race between Republican Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Democratic candidate Trudy Busch Valentine. Lawmakers who are farmers themselves say it needs to be addressed.
“I think we are definitely going to talk about it next session, I know that’s a priority for several of us, to what degree that we talk about that, I think we’re going to put some proposals together and see what makes the most sense for Missouri farms,” Bean said.
The bill the governor signed into law Wednesday includes incentives for meat processing facilities, transportation of agriculture goods and an exemption for certain vehicles from state and local sales and use taxes. It also would create tax credit programs for retailers of higher ethanol blend fuels and biodiesel, in-state biodiesel producers, establishing or improving urban farm operations and creating the Specialty Agricultural Crops Act.
“The Democratic caucus has a position that Missourians and Americans should own farmland here in the state of Missouri,” said Senate Minority Leader John Rizzo, D-Independence.
The legislation aimed to helping farmers and rural economic projects barely passed the House, receiving just one more vote than what’s constitutionally required. Parson vetoed nearly the same legislation over the summer because the credits only lasted two years instead of six.
Last month during debate in the House, discussion on the legislation was cut off by House leadership, causing many members to double think their vote. House Bill 3 then went to the House Fiscal Review Committee, which had to approve the $40 million sticker price. When it seemed like the committee wasn’t going to have enough votes to pass it, House Speaker Rob Vescovo, R-Arnold, added two Republicans and a Democrat, which was Merideth, to the committee.
“I’ve got to tell you, these process anomalies raise a lot of red flags to me,” Merideth said. “It makes me really hesitate to support a bill if I’m going to find out in a year that it’s going to foreign-owned farms that are benefiting from it or elected officials that are benefiting from it.”
The law officially goes into effect in January. After the General Assembly adjourned Tuesday from a special session, the Joint Committee on Agriculture met to discuss other items the $94 billion industry would like to see. Those topics include the right to repair, broadband, solar farms and land ownership.

Road safety body International Road Federation (IRF) has urged the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) Nitin Gadkari to withdraw the notification making six airbags mandatory in passenger vehicles from October 1, 2023.
It is likely to become counterproductive resulting in more severe injuries and deaths if seat belts are not worn by the passengers in the vehicle, the IRF said.
In the letter to the Ministry, it said that the six airbags in passenger vehicles should be made mandatory once 85 per cent of the people start wearing rear seat belts. "Once this figure crosses 85 per cent pan India, the government should go ahead making this provision of six airbags. Otherwise, it will become counterproductive and we will lose more lives." said K.K. Kapila, President Emeritus, International Road Federation (IRF).
"Unless people start wearing rear seat belts, the provision of six airbags will become counterproductive, leading to more fatal accidents. In a crash, seat belts are primary restraint devices whereas airbags are supplemental support. Rather Several global studies have shown that if an airbag is deployed without having the seat belt on, it can cause severe injuries and even death." said Kapila.
"Seat belts and airbags are interrelated. An airbag without a seat belt can cause severe injury and even death. So, one has to use a seat belt to avoid serious injury. Airbags were specifically designed to be used with seatbelts--serious injuries may result in victims who are not properly restrained by seatbelts, are "out of position" when airbags deploy," he said.
"According to MoRTH data, in 70 per cent of the 2-wheeler accident deaths, victims were found NOT wearing helmets; and in 87 per cent of the car accident deaths, victims were found NOT wearing seat belts. Sadly 96 per cent of car passengers do not wear seat belts on the backseat. It is high time that we move away from the populist ideology of mandating regulations, safety devices like six airbags, but bite the bitter pill of Enforcement and Penalties that may affect masses. Of course, harsh measures will face resistance and give discomfort initially, but eventually they will become a habit. "Kapila added. | https://www.dnaindia.com/automobile/report-road-safety-body-wants-nitin-gadkari-to-withdraw-six-airbags-mandate-2990899 | 2022-10-07T04:55:06 | en | 0.959538 |

After international oil prices surged following the announcement of significant OPEC production cutbacks, the petrol and diesel price freeze is likely to be extended in India for a few more days.
The development follows an agreement by some of the main oil-producing nations to reduce their output by two million barrels per day in order to boost the recovery of oil prices, which had fallen to levels seen before the Ukraine War.
It is poor news for India, too, as recent drops in oil prices have allowed it to reduce import costs and reduce losses state-owned fuel dealers were experiencing from selling gasoline and diesel.
Prior to OPEC's decision, oil corporations were experiencing significant losses on diesel, which had peaked at roughly Rs 30 per litre, but were now only losing a modest amount on petrol.
According to industry experts, however, the increase in crude oil costs and the rupee's depreciation against the US dollar will result in wider losses on diesel and declining margins on petrol.
It should be emphasised that India imports 85% of its oil requirements, and domestic prices are directly influenced by global oil prices.
To help the government control runaway inflation, some state-owned fuel retailers, including Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL), have changed the retail selling price of petrol and diesel in accordance with international costs for a record six months.
As a result of the reward freeze, the companies recorded losses on fuel sales throughout May and June, when oil prices reached an all-time high of about USD 120 per barrel. Prices began to decline in August and last month reached levels seen in January.
The oil companies in India hoped to recover the losses they had incurred since April as a result of these developments, but the trend's reversal means they are back where they started.
The retail price of petrol and diesel, however, must be adjusted daily by IOC, BPCL, and HPCL in accordance with cost. But starting on November 4, 2021, these companies froze rates for a record 137 days, shortly before elections in areas like Uttar Pradesh.
The frozen expired on March 22 of this year, and in the little over a fortnight, before a new freeze began on April 7, prices increased by Rs. 10 per litre.
Petrol and diesel prices in major Indian cities for today:
Mumbai - Mumbai's diesel and petrol rates haven't changed in the recent few days. Mumbai's current price for gasoline is 106.29. Mumbai's diesel cost is currently 94.25 rupees.
Delhi - The price of petrol in Delhi is currently 96.76 rupees, while the cost of diesel in Delhi remains at 89.66 rupees.
Bangalore - The price of petrol in Bangalore hasn't changed much recently; the current price is 101.92. In the meantime, Bangalore's diesel price is still 87.87.
Hyderabad - The price of petrol in Hyderabad is still 109.64, and the cost of diesel is 97.8.
Chennai: The petrol price in Chennai is the same as it was yesterday; Rs 102.62. In a similar manner, Chennai's diesel price stays the same at 94.22.
Kolkata - The price of petrol in Kolkata is unchanged at 106.01, while the price of diesel in Kolkata is the same; Rs 92.74. | https://www.dnaindia.com/business/report-price-freeze-on-petrol-and-diesel-in-india-likely-to-be-extended-for-few-more-days-check-today-s-rates-2990900 | 2022-10-07T04:55:12 | en | 0.972582 |

Team India lost the first ODI against South Africa in Lucknow by 9 runs as the Proteas took a 1-0 lead in the series. While Sanju Samson's unbeaten 86-run knock went in vain, it was a mixed bag from the Indian players when it came to bowling and fielding.
As many as three catches were dropped by Indian players, and it came back to haunt them as well.
During the 38th over of South Africa's inning, Mohammed Siraj and Ravi Bishnoi both dropped crucial catches on back-to-back balls.

Subsequently, David Miller smashed a boundary and a six on Avesh Khan's over, to punish the Indian side further.
When Miller hit Avesh for a six on the fourth ball, ironically the ball boy completed the catch, thus prompting applause from the commentators as well.
Team India fans were livid with the same, as many called it an 'irony' on social media, others trolled the Indian fielders and stated that the ball boy was a 'better fielder.'

Miller subsequently scored an unbeaten 75 from 63 balls, as well as Heinrich Klaasen's 74 not out from 65 balls helped the Proteas reach a massive 249-run total.
Team India's batsmen didn't get off to a good start as both Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill were dismissed early, although Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson's knocks took India down to the wire as they ultimately fell short by just nine runs. | https://www.dnaindia.com/cricket/report-fans-brutally-troll-indian-players-for-dropped-catches-ball-boy-is-better-fielder-watch-video-2990891 | 2022-10-07T04:55:24 | en | 0.981512 |

Megastar Chiranjeevi is ecstatic that Mohan Raja's freshly released film GodFather, which he also stars in, is poised to be a smashing success. GodFather made more over Rs 13 crore in India on its second day. The data from the global market is still awaited. According to IndiaToday, GodFather will surpass the Rs 50 crore mark at the box office today.
GodFather, starring megastar Chiranjeevi, premiered in theatres on October 5 all over the world. The movie is an authentic remake of Lucifer, directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran.
The political thriller had a successful opening weekend at the box office, earning Rs 38 crore globally. GodFather made an estimated Rs 13 crore on its second day in India alone. The global total is anticipated to surpass Rs 20 crore, pushing the two-day total above Rs 50 crore.

South superstar Chiranjeevi's GodFather, the Telugu remake of the Malayalam film Lucifer starring Mohanlal in the lead role, and Akkineni Nagarjuna's The Ghost have had a big box office clash as the two films released in the theatres on the same day i.e October 5.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) on Wednesday warned that four "contaminated" and "substandard" cough syrups allegedly produced by Maiden Pharmaceuticals Limited based in Haryana's Sonepat could be the reason for the deaths of the 66 Children in Gambia, West African.
“The four medicines are cough and cold syrups produced by Maiden Pharmaceuticals Limited, in India. They failed the test as they have unacceptable amounts of diethylene glycol and ethylene glycol as contaminants”, the global health agency stated.
What is diethylene glycol and why is it dangerous?
It is important to understand why ingesting these cough syrups became fatal for dozens of innocent children. Two chemicals have been responsible for the deaths of these children – Diethylene glycol and Ethylene glycol. These compounds are completely colourless and odourless, but make the cough syrup taste sweet and appealing to children.
Diethylene glycol and Ethylene glycol chemicals, if ingested in higher quantities, can cause directly affect the kidney of the person and can cause kidney failure in the later stage, also leading to paralysis in some cases. Since the quantity of both chemicals in four of the cough syrups was high, it is suspected to be the cause of the deaths of 66 children in the Gambia.
According to a paper in the National Library of Medicine under the National Center for Biotechnology Information, the chemical is used in antifreeze, brake fluids, cosmetics, and lubricants and causes renal insufficiency and failure and could even lead to coma and death.
The chemical tastes sweet and is water-insoluble. The toxic effects of the chemical include abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, inability to pass urine, headache, altered mental state, and acute kidney injury. The NIH paper pointed to at least 10 mass poisoning events that have taken place due to the toxic chemical in the past.
India's National Drug Regulator i.e. CDSCO also started investigating the matter. In the initial investigation of CDSCO, it has been found that the medicines of Maiden Pharma, which are controversial, were approved by the State Drug Control Authority of Haryana. These drugs were only being exported to the Gambia.

Hollywood star Hugh Jackman, on Thursday, shared a throwback picture with Ryan Reynolds dressed as Deadpool. Taking to Instagram, Hugh shared the picture which he captioned, "Caption this. #throwback."
In the picture, the Logan actor could be seen donning a bathing gown and brushing his teeth, standing along with actor Ryan Reynolds dressed up as his character Deadpool. Soon after the actor shared the post, fans shared their excitement for his return in the third instalment of `Deadpool` as Wolverine."Can’t wait to see you in Deadpool 3," a fan commented. Another fan wrote, "The time Deadpool caught Wolverine in the shower."
Recently, actor Ryan Reynolds shared a video and announced that Hugh Jackman will return as his superhit character Wolverine in Deadpool 3."Hey everyone, we’re extremely sad to have missed D23, but we’ve been working very hard on the next `Deadpool film for a good long while now," Reynolds said in the video, referencing the D23 Expo in early September.
"Hey, Hugh, you want to play Wolverine one more time?" Reynolds asked as Jackman walked by in the background."Yeah, sure, Ryan," Jackman replied.
The video ends with Whitney Houston’s "I Will Always Love You" -- subtitled as "I will always love Hugh" -- and a "Coming Hugh" teaser. The Deadpool logo appeared, then is quickly sliced up by Wolverine’s adamantium claws.Shawn Levy has come on board to direct "Deadpool 3," which will officially join the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Disney’s purchase of 20th Century Fox.The last time X-Men fans saw Jackman as Wolverine was in 2016’s R-rated "Logan," directed by James Mangold. Wolverine famously died in the end of the film, and Jackman has stated repeatedly that the film was his swan song in the role. It is not yet known how he will appear in Deadpool 3, which will be out in theatres on September 6, 2024. | https://www.dnaindia.com/hollywood/report-hugh-jackman-shares-hilarious-throwback-photo-with-ryan-reynolds-from-deadpool-sets-2990907 | 2022-10-07T04:55:54 | en | 0.973829 |

To compete with app-based aggregators Ola and Uber, Bengaluru's taxi drivers intend to release their mobile applications. The Namma Yatri app will be released on November 1 by the Autorickshaw Union (ARDU) and the Beckn Foundation, which is supported by Nandan Nilekani.
ARDU President D. Rudramurthy reportedly told the Times of India that “App-based aggregators charge Rs 100 minimum fare from customers and give Rs 60 to drivers and take the remaining Rs 40 as commission. Drivers are to ply for Rs 40. After they hiked the fares, there was a drop in customers by 50-60 per cent. We are losing customers. Now only those who want to travel for emergencies and those without vehicles are forced to pay this rate.”
He claimed that despite their complaints to the transport department, aggregators have not yet been punished. “Our union plans to launch the Namma Yatri app from November 1. We’ll follow the government-fixed fare and collect an additional Rs 10 as pick-up charges. We also plan to launch a flat Rs 40 fare in a 2km radius between Metro stations and residence/office”.
In 2021, the Kerala Metropolitan Transport Authority (KMTA) and Beckn Foundation jointly released the Yatra App in Kochi as a component of the open mobility network.
Customers are enthusiastic about the potential of this concept, but previous failed attempts to introduce app-based taxi services in the city only serve to increase scepticism. A similar attempt to release an app called Namma TYGR JD in 2017 failed. But the launch was unsuccessful.
The minimum auto rate in Bengaluru is set at Rs. 30 for the first 2 km and Rs. 15 for each extra kilometre. Passengers protest the Rs 100 minimum fare for autos that app-based aggregators charge. | https://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-bengaluru-auto-union-plans-to-launch-mobile-app-to-compete-with-ola-and-uber-by-november-1-2990908 | 2022-10-07T04:56:01 | en | 0.968896 |

Reserve Bank Governor Shaktikanta Das on Thursday launched a new 'SupTech' initiative DAKSH - the bank's Advanced Supervisory Monitoring System, which is expected to make the supervisory processes more robust.
In a statement, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said it has been taking various initiatives in strengthening supervision, which among other initiatives include adoption of latest data and analytical tools as well as leveraging technology for implementing more efficient and automated work processes.
"DAKSH is a web-based end-to-end workflow application through which RBI shall monitor compliance requirements in a more focused manner with the objective of further improving the compliance culture in Supervised Entities (SEs) like Banks, NBFCs, etc," it said.
The application will also enable seamless communication, inspection planning and execution, cyber incident reporting and analysis, and provision of various MIS reports, among others, through a platform which enables anytime-anywhere secure access.
DAKSH means 'efficient' and 'competent', reflecting the underlying capabilities of the application, the RBI said. | https://www.dnaindia.com/personal-finance/report-rbi-gets-tough-on-cyber-frauds-launches-new-initiative-2990898 | 2022-10-07T04:56:07 | en | 0.937659 |

MARY LOUISE KELLY, HOST:
President Biden announced today he is pardoning thousands of people convicted of marijuana possession under federal law.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: Too many lives have been upended because of our failed approach to marijuana. It's time that we write these wrongs.
KELLY: Democratic activists have long sought changes to marijuana laws. Biden himself pledged to do something about it while campaigning for president. NPR's Asma Khalid has been tracking this and is with us now. Hey there, Asma.
ASMA KHALID, BYLINE: Hi there.
KELLY: OK, give us some detail. What exactly did the president announce this afternoon?
KHALID: The president announced executive action to erase prior convictions for people convicted of simple marijuana possession under either federal or D.C. statute - so federal law or D.C. statute. And in a video that the White House disseminated, the president spoke about what this could mean.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
BIDEN: There are thousands of people who were convicted for marijuana possession who may be denied employment, housing or educational opportunities as a result of that conviction. My pardon will remove this burden on them.
KHALID: So to give you a sense of how many people that means, more than 6,500 people were convicted of simple possession between 1992 and 2021 under federal law, and then this also will apply to thousands more under the D.C. code. But many marijuana convictions occur at the state level, and so the president is also urging governors to take similar steps in their states.
KELLY: So what does this mean? Does this mean Biden is supporting the decriminalization of marijuana?
KHALID: No, he did not go that far, Mary Louise. And it is worth pointing out that the president did say in his comments today that, even as federal and state regulations around marijuana change, we still need, quote, "important limitations on trafficking, marketing and underage sales of marijuana." But what he did do today is ask the Health and Human Services secretary and the attorney general to review how marijuana is scheduled under federal law. It's currently classified in the same category as heroin and LSD - more serious than fentanyl - which the president himself says makes no sense.
KELLY: OK. What has the reaction to this move been?
KHALID: So, you know, Mary Louise, one of the main criticisms of marijuana laws for years has been that there is a disproportionate impact on Black and brown people. I've heard this issue framed as a racial justice issue in many previous campaigns on the Democratic side. And the president himself acknowledged the racial impact today. We did see swift praise from groups like the NAACP and Al Sharpton's National Action Network.
But at the same time, you know, Republicans have been eager to run as the party in this election cycle that is tough on crime and paint Democrats as being soft on crime, and this could play into that broader narrative. For example, Senator Tom Cotton was quick to call this, quote, "blanket pardons for drug offenders" in, quote, "the midst of a crime wave."
KELLY: Well, speaking of politics, I got to ask you about timing. You got to wonder about the timing of everything with the midterms four weeks away. Is that a coincidence?
KHALID: You know, I was on a call earlier today in which senior administration officials held - with reporters about this announcement, and they were certainly asked about the timing. Why now? Why, given the fact that this could have happened potentially earlier with executive action? And, you know, administration officials insist these moves are about fulfilling a campaign commitment that Biden made. Of course, as you say, there is always politics at play here. This announcement was put out in a video made for sharing on social media. And this is important because our latest NPR/Marist Poll released this morning found that young and Black voters were the least likely to vote this November.
KELLY: NPR's Asma Khalid. Thanks, Asma.
KHALID: My pleasure. Happy to do it.

MUMBAI: Seeing a strong and driven woman take on the world and push through her obstacles to accomplish her goals is heartwarming for the audience. Such is the story of Sony SAB’s Pushpa Impossible, where we see Pushpa’s wit, strength, and resilience in the face of adversity, as well as her unconventional and amusing solutions to problems. She is not without flaws, the most significant of which is her lack of education. To resolve this, she enrolls herself in a school but due to unfortunate circumstances during her exams, she fails a few subjects and is expelled.
This incident, however, has not reduced her desire to learn and recognizing this, Nanavati offers her a job in the school cafeteria. Pushpa, who is oblivious to the true intent behind this opportunity, is hesitant. However, she eventually accepts it because being around students and gaining knowledge from them is better than not attending school at all, but she quickly realizes that it is much harder than she anticipated. This is not the end of surprises for Pushpa as Sonal appears at her doorstep unannounced in the middle of the night with her luggage.
Will this unusual tactic of learning work for Pushpa?
Karuna Pandey who plays Pushpa shares, “People say in times of need when one door closes, another opens. Pushpa’s thirst for knowledge is admirable, so it's not surprising that she decides to study while working in the cafeteria, after all, exposure is one of the best ways to learn. Things are about to get interesting because this method of learning is not an easy feat, but Pushpa is a highly intelligent lady, so if anyone can do it, it's her."
Tune in to Pushpa Impossible from Monday to Saturday at 9:30 PM only on Sony SAB! | https://www.tellychakkar.com/tv/tv-news/pushpa-s-educational-journey-take-new-turn-sony-sab-s-pushpa-impossible-221007 | 2022-10-07T04:58:48 | en | 0.980103 |

US hiring likely slowed last month, report says
WASHINGTON (AP) — The piping-hot U.S. job market may be cooling off, if only slightly.
But what business managers, policymakers, investors and economists want to know is this: How cool would be cool enough for the inflation fighters at the Federal Reserve to begin to ease their aggressive interest rate hikes?
The government’s jobs report for September, coming Friday morning, is expected to show that employers added 250,000 jobs last month, according to a survey of economists by the data firm FactSet. That would be the lowest monthly gain since December 2020 and would mark a drop from an average of 438,000 from January through August. Yet by any historical standard, it would still amount to a healthy total.
Forecasters also expect the unemployment rate to stay at an extraordinarily low 3.7%.
The Fed is engaged in an epic battle to rein in inflation, which was running at a 40-year high in June and has eased only slightly since. The Fed has raised its benchmark interest rate five times this year. It is aiming to slow economic growth enough to reduce annual price increases back toward its 2% target.
It has a long way to go. In August, one key measure of year-over-year inflation, the consumer price index, amounted to 8.3%.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell has warned bluntly that the inflation fight would “bring some pain,” notably in the form of layoffs and higher unemployment. Some economists remain hopeful that despite the persistent inflation pressures, the Fed will still manage to achieve a so-called soft landing: Slowing growth enough to tame inflation, without going so far as to tip the economy into recession.
It’s a tricky task. And the Fed is trying to accomplish it at a perilous time. The global economy, weakened by food shortages and surging energy prices resulting from Russia’s war against Ukraine, may be on the brink of recession. Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, warned Thursday that the IMF is downgrading its estimates for world economic growth by $4 trillion through 2026 and that “things are more likely to get worse before it gets better.’’
Public anger over high prices and fear over the prospect of recession also carry political consequences as President Joe Biden’s Democratic Party struggles to maintain control over Congress in November’s midterm elections.
Meantime, the Fed is closely monitoring the job market. Many employers have failed over the past couple of years to fill all the jobs they need, and they’ve bid up wages to try to attract or keep workers. Those higher wages are feeding inflation as companies raise prices to offset their higher labor costs.
Powell and his colleagues on the Fed’s policymaking committee want to see signs that the abundance of available jobs — there are now 1.7 openings for every unemployed American — will steadily decline. Many economists viewed the pace of hiring in August, when employers added 315,000 jobs, as a Goldilocks achievement: Warm but not so warm as to alarm the Fed and force it to jack up borrowing rates even more aggressively.
Some encouraging news came this week, when the Labor Department reported that job openings fell by 1.1 million in August to 10.1 million, the fewest since June 2021.
Nick Bunker, head of economic research at the Indeed Hiring Lab, suggested that among the items on “the soft landing flight checklist’' is “a decline in job openings without a spike in the unemployment rate, and that’s what we’ve seen the last few months.”
On the other hand, by the standard of history, openings remain extraordinarily high: In records dating to 2000, they had never topped 10 million in a month until last year.
“There are still 10.1 million jobs open,’’ noted Michelle Reisdorf, who oversees operations for the human resources consulting firm Robert Half in Illinois and Indiana. “Candidates still have options. It’s not like they have one job to look at.’’
Economist Daniel Zhou of the jobs website Glassdoor argued that a single-minded focus on the job market might be overdone. Regardless of what happens with jobs and wages, Zhou suggested, the Fed’s policymakers won’t likely relent on their rate-hike campaign until they see proof that they’re actually hitting their target.
“They want to see inflation slowing down,” he said.

Even with some showers developing across Mid-Michigan, Thursday was another pretty decent day. With a little bit of sunshine here and there, temperatures managed to surround the 70-degree mark before the showers moved in. The narrow line of showers were associated with a cool front that is now opening the door to some noticeably chillier air we'll feel for Friday and the weekend.
Lows early Friday morning will range from the 30s north, to the lower 40s across the southern parts of the ABC12 viewing area. With a frisky northerly wind prevailing behind the front, temperatures won't climb very far for the day. Highs will only surround 50. We will get back into some sunshine, but that chilly wind just may stir up a few sprinkles here and there too.
Skies are expected to clear Friday night, so plan on some frost Saturday morning. Bright sunshine Saturday will help temps recover, but highs will stay in the 50s as a chilly westerly wind holds for the day. Highs Sunday should sneak back into the 60s with partly sunny skies expected, and with a chilly westerly wind continuing. We're tracking warmer air heading our way for next week on ABC12 News. - JR | https://www.abc12.com/weather/forecast/jrs-thursday-night-weather-report/article_26e90e96-45e9-11ed-af7e-2bd9f7ba6101.html | 2022-10-07T05:01:10 | en | 0.961104 |

SINGAPORE, Oct. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The crypto CeFi industry experienced unprecedented turmoil during the summer of 2022, which took down some of the largest platforms, such as Celsius and Voyager that had billions of dollars in assets under management. However, this type of widespread adversity among an industry can create opportunity for firms who have successfully survived the crisis. GROW, a CeFi platform for lending and borrowing, is a firm that has been able to navigate through the summer unscathed and has quickly been growing its user base. Moreover, GROW has always given users some of the highest reward rates in CeFi for Bitcoin.
"Our asset management mentality is prioritizing risk management first, so we are very selective even with the portion of assets that we lend to institutions. We wanted to see very experienced management teams and stringent risk management practices, and on top of that the majority of the strategies should be arbitrage or market neutral, like ours," said Sean Kim, the CEO and Founder of GROW. This inclination for risk aversion led this firm to avoid some of the blowups in the crypto scene that were caused by directional bets or some of the riskier strategies within DeFi.
GROW launched in January 2021 with a mission to make crypto simple because simplicity is a prerequisite for mass adoption, which is what the firm envisions – a society in which crypto assets are ubiquitous and efficiently incorporated into our financial system. "Right now, too many people are scared or skeptical of cryptocurrencies and other crypto assets, but at the same time, many understand that there is real value in crypto assets, which is why we see people wanting to HODL Bitcoin and other coins. We just want to provide a place for everyone to safely hold and grow their assets through our products," said Sean Kim. Therefore, GROW underwent a name change from ICONFi to GROW, to better align with the more inclusive goal of making crypto simple, helping individuals grow crypto wealth and building a larger stronger community.
Newer entrants such as GROW have been able to rapidly gain users by filling the gap of tens of billions of dollars in demand for CeFi products after the bankruptcies of mega platforms.
"With CeFi the best way to get users comfortable is track record and actions. We are proud to say that we have never rejected a withdrawal or failed to make an interest payment, even during and after all the bankruptcies and fallout from this summer's CeFi Apocalypse," said Sean Kim.
The firm is based in Singapore and is compliant under the current Payment Services Act 2019, and it has undergone the legal and technical preparations to file under the Payment Services (Amendment) Act 2021 upon implementation by the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

Singapore-based GROW offers top-notch reward rates so that clients can safely grow their wealth on a leading global platform for lending and borrowing crypto assets. Additional company information and details on the GROW app can be found by visiting www.grow3.io.

Smile Train and The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation analyze the devastating impact of orofacial clefts over two decades (2000 - 2020)
NEW YORK, Oct. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In a new report released today, World Smile Day, Smile Train and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington's School of Medicine find that nearly half of cleft-related malnutrition deaths globally in children under 5 could be prevented with access to adequate nutrition and surgical treatment.
The report provides a first-of-its-kind look at the devastating impact of orofacial clefts over two decades, 2000 to 2020. Clefts occur when certain body parts and structures do not fuse together during fetal development and can cause difficulties eating, breathing, hearing, and speaking. The report synthesized two sets of data, one from Smile Train Express and the other IHME's Global Burden of Disease Modeling demographic group. After pairing and modifying the datasets for alignment, researchers used two meta-regression models to calculate results.
Key findings include:
- If children with clefts did not experience higher rates of undernutrition, as many as 21,000 deaths worldwide could be averted with intervention.
- Over the past 20 years, the number of children born with clefts under the age of 5 has failed to decline significantly.
- Deaths in children with clefts as well as malnutrition-related deaths in those with clefts have declined since 2000, but that progress has been markedly slower and lagged behind the declines in malnutrition-related mortality and child mortality overall in the same time period.
- Compared to underweight children, underweight children living with clefts endure a heavier burden of poor nutrition. They face a higher risk of undernutrition and other potentially life-threatening conditions.
- In 2020, the highest cleft prevalence rates were observed in the countries of north Africa and the Middle East, extending into central Asia and south Asia.
"By combining the forces of Smile Train's more than 1.5 million surgical records in the Smile Train Express database, including a wealth of nutrition data, and IHME's comprehensive set of health estimates, we now know more about clefts than ever before," says Nicholas Kassebaum, MD, an associate professor at the IHME and a lead author of the study. "We hope that this is a call to action for global health leaders to take further action against undernutrition in children with clefts."
"Clefts are not a cosmetic issue, and this data serves as both a warning and a roadmap," Susannah Schaefer, President and CEO of Smile Train, adds. "It shows us at Smile Train that we're on the right track with expanding our nutrition programs, but that we need to do more. When the scale of an issue is this large, and when lives are at stake, you have to act and you have to act together. Smile Train is proud to have made a 5-year commitment to scale investment in nutrition, but we need to call on governments and other organizations to do the same."
Further findings are available, and you can read the report here.
About the methodology: Smile Train and IHME are dedicated to data transparency, with full details for this report's methodology available online, and a summarized methodology available to reporters upon request.
About Smile Train: Smile Train empowers local medical professionals with training, funding, and resources to provide free cleft surgery and comprehensive cleft care to children globally. We advance a sustainable solution and scalable global health model for cleft treatment, drastically improving children's lives, including their ability to eat, breathe, speak, and ultimately thrive.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ShopNEXT has partnered with Visa to launch the first-ever Web3 Loyalty Platform. Any user with a Visa card can not only shop conveniently, but also can earn token rewards. This ingenious loyalty platform is expected to help millions of merchants grow businesses and contribute to rapidly stimulating the global economy as well as bring Web3 to the masses.
How does it work?
ShopNEXT utilizes the card-linked feature of the Visa Offers Platform that allows any user to link a Visa card to their mobile app. Through VisaNet, ShopNEXT will be able to track all successful card payment transactions and reward users with the token on top of them, instantly. ShopNEXT token is a kind of loyalty point but the difference is that it is developed on blockchain.
Moreover, ShopNEXT also introduces in-app gameplay and NFT cards, which give users options to boost their earning rewards. Shopping, gamification, and NFT will create an innovative Shop-To-Earn model.
How can it be a sustainable model?
Unlike other models like Play-To-Earn or Move-To-Earn, Shop-To-Earn is much more sustainable because it contributes real value to the economy by building a win-win collaboration with all parties involved. Users are encouraged to shop more to earn more token rewards, which helps merchants grow their businesses.
To strengthen the model's uniqueness, ShopNEXT defined a new term called External Profit Reserve (EPR). 100% of the profit from merchants and card issuers' sales commission will be sent to the EPR to back all the tokens issued on the market. This is to make sure every token has an intrinsic value that is generated by users through their shopping.
Mr. Linh Le, ShopNEXT CEO, shared his view on the collaboration with Visa:
"We want to leverage the beauty of Web3 to create an appealing Loyalty platform. In the situation that the global economy is struggling to grow due to COVID-19, our mission is to help merchants grow their businesses by motivating everyone to shop and earn token rewards, which contributes to rapidly stimulating the world economy. From there, we also provide the easiest and safest gateway for everyone to start their Web3 journey with the Shop-To-Earn model. This collaboration with Visa will help us accelerate the process of acquiring merchants and users efficiently."
Ms. Dung Dang, Visa Country Manager of Vietnam and Laos, said:
"Visa is excited about this new collaboration with ShopNEXT that is pushing out the horizon of digital shopping. More consumers now shop online than ever before and they are showing great appetite for new digital experiences like token reward based on blockchain technology and NFTs. Our partnership will help consumers shop without worries while enjoying the speed and security of Visa payments and earn exciting novelties like NFTs."
As a veteran in the affiliate-based business area for many years, ShopNEXT understands the pain point of reconciliation time and believes this new card-linked feature will solve this problem completely by offering instant rewards. NFT gamification has already proven its success in user acquisition, both traditional and digital. Combining daily spending activities with NFT gameplay is expected to create a new trend in the Web3 space.
Web3 has already been beginning to transform how companies think about consumer loyalty, and this wave of innovation will only continue to accelerate. ShopNEXT will lead the trend by creating the most appealing Shop-To-Earn model, which can bring many benefits to users and merchants.
