https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/hope-solo-arrested-on-dwi-child-abuse-charges/ | WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Former U.S. women’s national team star goalkeeper Hope Solo was arrested after she was found passed out behind the wheel of a vehicle in North Carolina with her 2-year-old twins inside, police said.
A police report said Solo was arrested on Thursday in a shopping center parking lot in Winston-Salem and charged with driving while impaired, resisting a public officer and misdemeanor child abuse. She has been released from jail and has a court date of June 28, the report indicated.
According to an arrest warrant, a passerby noticed Solo passed out behind the steering wheel for more than an hour with the vehicle’s engine running and the two children in the backseat. A responding officer could smell alcohol, and the warrant said that Solo refused a field sobriety test and her blood was drawn instead.
Rich Nichols, a Texas-based attorney who represents Solo, released a statement Friday but didn’t respond to specific questions on the charges and said his client wouldn’t respond, either.
“On the advice of counsel, Hope can’t speak about this situation, but she wants everyone to know that her kids are her life, that she was released immediately and is now at home with her family, that the story is more sympathetic than the initial charges suggest, and that she looks forward to her opportunity to defend these charges,” Nichols said.
Solo was dismissed from the national team following the 2016 Olympics in Brazil after calling the Swedish team “cowards” for taking a defensive stance against the defending gold medalists, ending a laudable playing career that was also marred by controversy.
She was suspended for 30 days in early 2015 after she and husband Jerramy Stevens were pulled over in a U.S. Soccer-owned van and Stevens was charged with DUI. She was also benched after publicly questioning coach Greg Ryan’s decision to start Briana Scurry against Brazil during the 2007 World Cup, comments many saw as a slight against Scurry.
Solo was also involved in an altercation with family members in 2014 that resulted in Solo’s arrest, although charges in that case were eventually dropped.
Solo made 202 appearances with the national team, with 153 wins and an international-record 102 shutouts. She won a World Cup title and two Olympic gold medals with the team.
During the 2015 World Cup championship run, she allowed just three goals in seven games with five shutouts.
She was elected to the U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame in January. The induction ceremony is set for May 21.
Solo married Stevens, a former tight end for the Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in 2012. The couple have twins, Vittorio Genghis and Lozen Orianna Judith Stevens, born on March 4, 2020.

https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/political-news/ap-politics/russia-aims-ukraine-disinformation-at-spanish-speakers-2/ | Washington (AP) — Though Russia is the country that invaded its neighbor Ukraine, the Kremlin’s version relentlessly warns social media users across Latin America that the U.S. is the bigger problem.
“Never forget who is the real threat to the world,” reads a headline, translated here from Spanish. The article, originally posted in late February on Twitter by RT en Español, is intended for an audience half a world away from the fighting in Kyiv and Mariupol.
As that war rages, Russia is launching falsehoods into the feeds of Spanish-speaking social media users in nations that already have long records of distrusting the U.S. The aim is to gain support in those countries for the Kremlin’s war and stoke opposition against America’s response.
Though many of the claimshave been discredited, they’re spreading widely in Latin America and helping to make Kremlin-controlled outlets some of the top Spanish-language sources for information about the war. Russian outlet RT en Español is now the third most shared site on Twitter for Spanish-language information about Russia’s invasion.
“RT’s success should be concerning to anyone worried about the success of democracy,” said Samuel Woolley, a University of Texas professor who researches disinformation. “RT is geared toward authoritarian control and, depending on the context, nationalism and xenophobia. What we risk is Russia gaining control of an increasingly large market share of eyeballs.”
U.S.-based tech companies havetried to rein inRussian outlets’ ability to spread propaganda following the invasion, by banning apps linked to the outlets, demoting the content and labeling state-run media outlets. The European Union has bannedRT and Russian state-owned Sputnik,
Yet the content thrives on Spanish-language websites, message boards and social media pages. While Russia also creates propaganda in languages including English, Arabic, French and German, it’s found particular success with Spanish-speaking users, according to recent research by Esteban Ponce de Leon, a Bogota, Colombia-based analyst with the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab, a Washington think tank that receives funding from the U.S. and other governments.
Russia’s discredited claims about Ukraine and the U.S. include allegations that the invasion was necessary to confrontneo-Nazis, or that the U.S. has secretly backed biological warfare research in Ukraine. In fact, the U.S. has long publicly provided funding for biological labs in Ukraine that research pathogens with the hope of curbing dangerous disease outbreaks.
That type of disinformation can easily flow from Latin America into other countries — including the U.S. — that have large Spanish-speaking communities. Sometimes it’s passed between relatives who might be sharing the claims across continents with one another. It’s another potential entry point for Russia, and a reminder of the sophistication of the Russians’ efforts.
‘There’s different avenues where RT is actively engaging communities across Latin America and the United States,” said Jacobo Licona, a researcher at the Democratic firm, Equis Labs. “That’s part of the reason RT has been so effective, they’ve been building this network or community ahead of time.”
As one of the world’s most-spoken languages, Spanish is of obvious interest to any government or organization intent on shaping global public opinion. But Russia’s focus on the Spanish language goes further, reflecting the historic and strategic importance of Central and South America during the Cold War, said analyst Ponce de Leon of the Atlantic Council.
For decades, the Soviet Union sought to exploit historic tensions between the U.S. and Latin America by supporting communist factions and larger allies including Cuba. Russia has sought to portray the U.S. as a colonizing empire, even as the Kremlin has worked to strengthen its own ties to the hemisphere.
RT’s Spanish language service began in 2009, four years after its English language version. It has rapidly gained ground, and is now far more popular than its English counterpart. RT en Español has more than 16 million followers on its Facebook page, nearly triple the number of its English site.
High profile names in Latin America have in some cases given RT a hand. Ex-Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa began hosting a weekly political talk show for RT in 2018, less than a year after he left office. Since then he’s been convicted of corruption charges that forced him to flee Ecuador for Europe. Authorities in Ecuador have also accused him of trying to destabilize his successor’s government.
In March, RT en Español’s Facebook page experienced a boost in interactions, generating roughly 75,000 likes, reactions and comments on its pages daily, according to an analysis by the Equis Institute, a Democratic research and polling firm. The bump in engagement continued even after tech company Meta said it was demoting Russian-state media pages across its platforms, which include Facebook and Instagram.
On Twitter, RT and Sputnik get help from Russian diplomats and a network of other accounts that researchers say artificially boost the popularity of the posts. That has helped RT become the third-most shared site for Spanish-language information on the Ukraine war on Twitter, outperforming local news sources as well as international outlets like the BBC and CNN.
Ponce de Leon tracked thousands of accounts that posted or reposted content from RT and Sputnik on Twitter and found that 171 accounts were responsible for 11% of the overall engagement with the posts. During one eight-day period in March, those accounts posted more than 200,000 times, or an average of 155 tweets per day for each account – significantly more than a normal user.
The suspect accounts helped spread the content to authentic users, Ponce de Leon said, in an effort to grow RT’s already impressive audience in Latin America.
“Russia is seeking to maintain its popularity in Latin America,” he said. “RT and Sputnik already have a big audience in the region. Should we be concerned? The answer would be yes.”

In March, RT en Español’s Facebook page experienced a boost in interactions, generating roughly 75,000 likes, reactions and comments on its pages daily, according to an analysis by the Equis Institute, a Democratic research and polling firm. The bump in engagement continued even after tech company Meta said it was demoting Russian-state media pages across its platforms, which include Facebook and Instagram.
On Twitter, RT and Sputnik get help from Russian diplomats and a network of other accounts that researchers say artificially boost the popularity of the posts. That has helped RT become the third-most shared site for Spanish-language information on the Ukraine war on Twitter, outperforming local news sources as well as international outlets like the BBC and CNN.
Ponce de Leon tracked thousands of accounts that posted or reposted content from RT and Sputnik on Twitter and found that 171 accounts were responsible for 11% of the overall engagement with the posts. During one eight-day period in March, those accounts posted more than 200,000 times, or an average of 155 tweets per day for each account – significantly more than a normal user.
The suspect accounts helped spread the content to authentic users, Ponce de Leon said, in an effort to grow RT’s already impressive audience in Latin America.
“Russia is seeking to maintain its popularity in Latin America,” he said. “RT and Sputnik already have a big audience in the region. Should we be concerned? The answer would be yes.”

Associated Press writer Abril Mulato contributed to this report from Mexico City. | 1 | 77,467 | 0 | https://cw39.com/politics/ap-politics/russia-aims-ukraine-disinformation-at-spanish-speakers/ | 2022-04-01 18:42:55+00:00 | Washington (AP) — Though Russia is the country that invaded its neighbor Ukraine, the Kremlin’s version relentlessly warns social media users across Latin America that the U.S. is the bigger problem.
“Never forget who is the real threat to the world,” reads a headline, translated here from Spanish. The article, originally posted in late February on Twitter by RT en Español, is intended for an audience half a world away from the fighting in Kyiv and Mariupol.
As that war rages, Russia is launching falsehoods into the feeds of Spanish-speaking social media users in nations that already have long records of distrusting the U.S. The aim is to gain support in those countries for the Kremlin’s war and stoke opposition against America’s response.
Though many of the claimshave been discredited, they’re spreading widely in Latin America and helping to make Kremlin-controlled outlets some of the top Spanish-language sources for information about the war. Russian outlet RT en Español is now the third most shared site on Twitter for Spanish-language information about Russia’s invasion.
“RT’s success should be concerning to anyone worried about the success of democracy,” said Samuel Woolley, a University of Texas professor who researches disinformation. “RT is geared toward authoritarian control and, depending on the context, nationalism and xenophobia. What we risk is Russia gaining control of an increasingly large market share of eyeballs.”
U.S.-based tech companies havetried to rein inRussian outlets’ ability to spread propaganda following the invasion, by banning apps linked to the outlets, demoting the content and labeling state-run media outlets. The European Union has bannedRT and Russian state-owned Sputnik,
Yet the content thrives on Spanish-language websites, message boards and social media pages. While Russia also creates propaganda in languages including English, Arabic, French and German, it’s found particular success with Spanish-speaking users, according to recent research by Esteban Ponce de Leon, a Bogota, Colombia-based analyst with the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab, a Washington think tank that receives funding from the U.S. and other governments.
Russia’s discredited claims about Ukraine and the U.S. include allegations that the invasion was necessary to confrontneo-Nazis, or that the U.S. has secretly backed biological warfare research in Ukraine. In fact, the U.S. has long publicly provided funding for biological labs in Ukraine that research pathogens with the hope of curbing dangerous disease outbreaks.
That type of disinformation can easily flow from Latin America into other countries — including the U.S. — that have large Spanish-speaking communities. Sometimes it’s passed between relatives who might be sharing the claims across continents with one another. It’s another potential entry point for Russia, and a reminder of the sophistication of the Russians’ efforts.
‘There’s different avenues where RT is actively engaging communities across Latin America and the United States,” said Jacobo Licona, a researcher at the Democratic firm, Equis Labs. “That’s part of the reason RT has been so effective, they’ve been building this network or community ahead of time.”
As one of the world’s most-spoken languages, Spanish is of obvious interest to any government or organization intent on shaping global public opinion. But Russia’s focus on the Spanish language goes further, reflecting the historic and strategic importance of Central and South America during the Cold War, said analyst Ponce de Leon of the Atlantic Council.
For decades, the Soviet Union sought to exploit historic tensions between the U.S. and Latin America by supporting communist factions and larger allies including Cuba. Russia has sought to portray the U.S. as a colonizing empire, even as the Kremlin has worked to strengthen its own ties to the hemisphere.
RT’s Spanish language service began in 2009, four years after its English language version. It has rapidly gained ground, and is now far more popular than its English counterpart. RT en Español has more than 16 million followers on its Facebook page, nearly triple the number of its English site.
High profile names in Latin America have in some cases given RT a hand.

LONDON, April 2 (Reuters) - A goal for Christian Eriksen, two from Vitaly Janelt and a late addition from Yoane Wissa earned Brentford a shock 4-1 comeback victory over west London neighbours Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday.
Chelsea centre back Antonio Rudiger brought the game to life after a dull first half at Stamford Bridge when, three minutes after halftime, his screamer of a shot from about 35 metres flew in off the post.
But the European champions' lead lasted barely two minutes before Bryan Mbuemo put Janelt through to score.
Mbuemo then assisted Brentford's second with a pinpoint pass to Eriksen for the Dane to score his first goal for his new team in the 54th minute.
Eriksen, whose career had been in doubt after he collapsed on the pitch during the European Championship last year, had also scored twice in two games for his country during the recent international break.
Janelt sent the away end of Stamford Bridge into raptures in the 60th minute with a looping shot from an Ivan Toney pass. Substitute Wissa put the icing on the cake in the 87th minute to condemn a lacklustre Chelsea to their first home defeat since September.

WAHPETON, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota State College of Science has a new president.
The state Board of Higher Education unanimously selected Rod Flanigan as the 10th president of the two-year Wahpeton college. Flanigan previously served as dean of business and technology at Cochise College in Arizona.
“I know this is where I want to be. There are great things happening at this community college,” Flanigan said. “I feel strongly about the community college mission. We help students achieve their dreams; this is what we do for people.”
The search committee originally reviewed 21 candidates who met qualifications for the job.

BRIGHTON, England, April 2 (Reuters) - Brighton & Hove Albion and Norwich City played out a 0-0 draw at the AMEX Stadium on Saturday to end six-match losing streaks in the Premier League for both teams.
The hosts' Neal Maupay had the golden opportunity to decide this game when Norwich´s Sam Byram handled the ball inside the area, but the French forward blasted over the bar from the penalty spot.
Maupay and Solly March wasted other good chances for Brighton who were close to scoring several times in the second half, but only four of their 31 shots hit the target.
Norwich barely ventured outside their own half and did little to threaten the hosts with Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sánchez not having to make a single save.
They remained rooted to the bottom of the table and seven points adrift of safety. Brighton sit comfortably mid-table in 13th place.

BRIGHTON, England, April 2 (Reuters) - Brighton & Hove Albion were frustrated by bottom side Norwich in a 0-0 draw at the AMEX Stadium on Saturday that ended a six-game Premier League losing streak for both teams.
Neal Maupay missed a golden opportunity for the hosts in the first half when Norwich defender Sam Byram handled the ball in his own area, but the French forward blasted the ball over the bar from the penalty spot.
That set the tone for how the game would continue with Brighton dominating and creating numerous chances but failing to take advantage as they remained a comfortable 13th in the table.
"There were lots of positives in terms of our intent and how we went about things," Brighton manager Graham Potter told reporters.
"The all-important goal eluded us today and that is the only disappointing bit. We have to keep positive, keep going, and hopefully it will turn for us. I don't like to talk about luck."
Brighton had 31 shots in the match but only hit the target with four of them, while Norwich failed to manage one effort on goal and remained rooted to the foot of the table, seven points adrift of safety.
Teemu Pukki, Jonathan Rowe and Milot Rashica had late half-chances for the visitors but never seriously threatened to break the deadlock.
The game ended on a sour note for Brighton when substitute Jakub Moder, who had only been on the pitch for five minutes, was forced back off through injury. (Reporting by Adam Millington, editing by Ed Osmond) |

SAO PAULO, April 2 (Reuters) - Brazilian health agency Anvisa on Saturday issued a new set of rules for incoming international travelers, easing restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic as the health crisis subsides in the South American nation.
Anvisa said vaccinated Brazilians and foreigners are now exempt from presenting proof of a COVID-19 test with a negative or non-detectable result. They are only required to present proof of vaccination, printed or electronically.
"In general, the new rules confirm vaccination as the basis for national border policy for all modes of transportation," Anvisa said in a statement. "Complete immunization is mandatory for all individuals eligible for vaccination and who intend to enter Brazil."
Under the rules, a traveler is considered fully vaccinated after taking two doses or a single dose of a anti-COVID vaccine, depending on the type of immunizer. The vaccination scheme must be complete at least 14 days before the date of departure, Anvisa said.
Travelers not fully vaccinated -- provided they are Brazilians and foreigners residing in the country -- must present a COVID-19 test with a negative or non-detectable result, Anvisa added.
The agency also noted foreigners who live abroad and are not fully vaccinated remain barred from entering the country, with exceptions that it did not detail in the statement.

BURNLEY, England, April 2 (Reuters) - Liverpool are on a dangerous run of form in the Premier League but Manchester City will do everything they can to stay one step ahead, City manager Pep Guardiola said on Saturday as the title race heats up in the final weeks of the season.
Liverpool's 2-0 victory over Watford in the day's early kickoff moved Juergen Klopp's side to the summit for a few hours before City beat Burnley 2-0 to reclaim top spot and move a point clear.
The results set up a mouth-watering clash between City and Liverpool next Sunday in a game that could decide the title race.
"The next Premier League game we will play against Liverpool so we know they are going to win almost all the games -- hopefully not the next one -- but we will try to do the same," Guardiola told reporters.
"When you arrive in May challenging to lift the title it means you have had an incredible season. Being here is because we work a lot and we have done that every single season.
"That is a lot of credit for the whole organisation. We will fight. The opponent is so tough and good, but they said we will make a proper battle and we accept that."
City and Liverpool were neck and neck in similar fashion in the 2018-19 season as both teams put together winning runs before Guardiola's side clinched the title by a point on the final day.
"People say 'experience' when you are old but it works when you get good lessons and you learn from them. What you have done in the past doesn't mean it will happen again," Guardiola added.
"Every game will be like this. We need to play these games with this target and we will try."

Liverpool's 2-0 victory over Watford in the day's early kick-off moved Jurgen Klopp's side to the summit - the first time this year - for a few hours before City beat Burnley 2-0 to reclaim top spot with a one-point cushion.
With both sides winning, the scene is now set for a mouth-watering clash between the two contenders at the Etihad on Sunday in a game that could decide the title race.
The Reds are the most in-form team in the English top flight after reeling off 10 successive victories, while defending champions City are second in the form table with seven wins and two draws from their past 10 matches.
Regardless of Sunday's result, Guardiola expects the title race to go down to the final day, just like the 2018-19 season, when his side edged out Liverpool by a point.
"The next Premier League game we will play against Liverpool so we know they are going to win almost all the games - hopefully not the next one - but we will try to do the same," the Catalan said.
"When you arrive in May challenging to lift the title, it means you have had an incredible season. Being here is because we work a lot and we have done that every single season.
"That is a lot of credit for the whole organisation. We will fight. The opponent is so tough and good, but they said we will make a proper battle and we accept that.
"People say 'experience' when you are old but it works when you get good lessons and you learn from them. What you have done in the past doesn't mean it will happen again. Every game will be like this. We need to play these games with this target and we will try."
Both teams have just eight games left although City, on paper, have an easier run-in.
They face the likes of Watford, Brighton, Leeds and Newcastle and their hardest game appears to be a trip to West Ham on the penultimate weekend of the season.
Klopp's men have several banana skins to negotiate. Manchester United and Tottenham must visit Anfield on top of the Merseyside derby against an Everton side desperate to stay up.

The oil leak recall includes the 2020 through 2022 Ford Escape SUV and the 2021 and 2022 Bronco Sport SUV with 1.5-Liter engines. A housing can crack and oil can leak onto engine parts, which can create a fire hazard.
According to Reuters, Ford received reports of at least eight fires that may be related to the issue, but no injuries or crashes were caused.
Dealers will replace the housing if needed.
The trailer braking recall includes F-150 pickups from 2021 and 2022, as well as the 2022 F-250, 350, 450 and 550. Also covered are the 2022 Maverick pickup, and Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs.
A software error can stop trailers from braking, increasing the risk of a crash. Ford received at least 67 reports of issues that could be caused by the error, but no injuries or crashes, Reuters reported.
Dealers will update brake control software. Owners will be notified of both recalls starting April 18.

https://www.kxnet.com/news/ex-icc-prosecutor-urges-global-arrest-warrant-for-putin/ | GENEVA (AP) — The former chief prosecutor of United Nations war crimes tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda has called for an international arrest warrant to be issued for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Putin is a war criminal,” Carla Del Ponte told the Swiss newspaper Le Temps in an interview published Saturday.
In interviews given to Swiss media to mark the release of her latest book, the Swiss lawyer who oversaw U.N. investigations in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia said there were clear war crimes being committed in Ukraine.
She said she was particularly shocked by the use of mass graves in Russia’s war on Ukraine, which recalls the worst of the wars in the former Yugoslavia.
“I hoped never to see mass graves again,” she told the newspaper Blick. “These dead people have loved ones who don’t even know what’s become of them. That is unacceptable.”
Other war crimes she identified in Ukraine included attacks on civilians, the destruction of civilian buildings and even the demolishing of entire villages.
She said the investigation in Ukraine would be easier than that in Yugoslavia because the country itself had requested an international probe. The current ICC chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, visited Ukraine last month.
If the ICC finds proof of war crimes, she said, “you must go up the chain of command until you reach those who took the decisions.”
She said it would be possible to bring even Putin to account.
“You mustn’t let go, continue to investigation. When the investigation into Slobodan Milosevic began, he was still president of Serbia. Who would have thought then that he would one day be judged? Nobody,” she told Blick.
Del Ponte added that investigations should be carried out into possible war crimes committed by both sides, pointing also to reports about the alleged torture of some Russian prisoners of war by Ukrainian forces.

https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/US-agency-acknowledges-damage-to-dinosaur-tracks-17053207.php | MOAB, Utah (AP) — Dinosaur tracks from 112 million years ago have been damaged in southeastern Utah by heavy machinery used to rebuild a boardwalk at the popular tourist area, U.S. officials say.
The damage at the Mill Canyon Dinosaur Tracksite is minor but some footprints had fractures around the rims, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management recently said in a report.
The agency also said an area where a prehistoric crocodile crossed a mud flat appeared to have been driven over multiple times by a backhoe, causing fracturing, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.
The site is considered among the most important dinosaur track areas in the nation, containing tracks from at least 10 different species.
The agency in the report said the project should be reevaluated, the area clearly marked and work crews briefed on where they can and can’t go.
The report also noted that the agency should fill a vacancy for a regional paleontologist that has been vacant since 2018.
“To ensure this does not happen again, we will follow the recommendations in the assessment, seek public input, and work with the paleontology community as we collectively move forward on constructing boardwalks at the interpretive site,” the agency said.
That revised report should be done this summer.

Watering the lawn isn’t the most exciting chore, but it is essential to keeping your grass healthy and fresh, especially if you have a large yard. The garden hose that’s right for your yard depends on how often you plan to water, your particular climate and your budget.
For watering large yards, look for garden hoses with a diameter of either 5/8 inch or 3/4 inch and a length of at least 50 feet. The larger diameter allows a higher water pressure, and the longer length lets you roam the yard with ease.

https://www.wane.com/news/top-picks/what-are-the-longest-lasting-new-and-used-minivans/ | (iSeeCars) – The minivan is the consummate family vehicle. Although the rise of the SUV has stolen some of its thunder, the convenience and utility of a minivan for family hauling remains unmatched.
Some may resist buying a minivan because it’s unhip, but those who choose to embrace minivan ownership are often passionate and enthusiastic about their vehicle choice. For those who choose comfort and convenience over style, we salute you! However, becoming a minivan owner is only half the battle. Since your minivan is going to handle your most precious cargo, not to mention all the accessories that go with it, you should make sure you choose a reliable model.
To help buyers narrow down the most reliable minivans, iSeeCars has compiled a list of the best minivans for long-term reliability. These minivans are proven to be among the longest-lasting cars on the road as determined by an analysis of 1.8 million vehicles to see which models are most likely to exceed 200,000 miles. A reliability rating was then calculated and assigned to each vehicle. Here are the most reliable new and used minivans:
Most Reliable New Minivans
- Honda Odyssey
iSeeCars Reliability Score: 8.7 (of 10)
Average New Car Price: $40,155
Average 3-Year-Old Used Car Price: $39,999
The most reliable minivan is the Honda Odyssey. The Odyssey has above-average cargo capacity for its class with 32.8 cubic feet of space behind the third row and 88.8 cubic feet of space behind the second-row seats when the third-row seats are folded down. If both rows of rear seats are folded down, the Odyssey has a total of 144.9 cubic feet of cargo space. The Odyssey’s base trim seats seven, with captain chairs in the second-row and a third-row bench seat. Higher trim levels seat up to eight with three seats in the second row that use Honda’s Magic Slide system, allowing you to easily slide seats into several different configurations to meet your passenger and cargo needs. It has one of the best interior designs in the segment and offers available family-friendly features including a rear-seat reminder, a camera that shows the rear passengers on the infotainment screen, and an intercom system for projecting the front seat passengers’ voice to the rear seats. The Odyssey comes standard with advanced safety features, including forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, lane departure warning, and lane keep assist.
- Toyota Sienna
iSeeCars Reliability Score: 8.7
Average New Car Price: $39,565
Average 3-Year-Old Used Car Price: $38,915
The Toyota Sienna ranks second. Redesigned for 2021, the new Sienna features sharper interior and exterior styling to give it a more upscale appearance. Perhaps the most significant change is its hybrid powertrain that returns a combined 36 mpg, nearly double that of its competitors. The new hybrid four-cylinder engine replaces a V6 engine. An all-wheel drive system is also available and offers similar fuel efficiency at 35 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway. The Sienna comes standard with infotainment features including Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, and a Wi-Fi hot spot. The Sienna comes standard with a suite of safety features, including blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, automatic high-beam headlights, and road sign recognition. Available advanced safety features include hands-free park assist and a surround-view parking system.
- Kia Sedona
iSeeCars Reliability Score: 8.1
Average New Car Price: N/A
Average 3-Year-Old Used Car Price: $32,025
The Kia Sedona ranks third. The Sedona has an upscale interior with premium materials as well as three rows of comfortable seats. The Sedona also earns praise for its comfortable ride quality and responsive handling. The Sedona minivan comes standard with a 7-inch touch screen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth connectivity. Available infotainment features include a rear-seat entertainment system that features two 10.1-inch display screens to keep rear passengers happy. The Sedona comes with a five-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, which is the best in its class. The Kia Sedona was discontinued after the 2021 model year and replaced with the Kia Carnival.
- Dodge Grand Caravan
iSeeCars Reliability Score: 8.0
Average New Car Price: N/A
Average 3-Year-Old Used Car Price: $26,941
The Dodge Grand Caravan ranks fourth. The Grand Caravan was discontinued after the 2020 model year, but new versions can still be found at dealerships for a limited time and often with steep discounts. The Grand Caravan has the lowest starting MSRP of all minivans at $27,530, making it an appealing choice for drivers who want an affordable family vehicle. It also boasts a powerful 283-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 engine that is one of the strongest in its class. While the no-frills Dodge Grand Caravan lacks some of the fancy convenience features of its competitors, it has its hallmark Stow ‘n Go seating, allowing the second-row seats to be stowed within the cabin’s floor to create maximum cargo space. It also has a maximum towing capacity of 3,600 pounds, among the best in its class.
- Chrysler Pacifica
iSeeCars Reliability Score: 6.1
Average New Car Price: $46,548
Average 3-Year-Old Used Car Price: $36,103
The Chrysler Pacifica’s long-term reliability score is low because it was recently introduced as a new model in 2017. As such, it hasn’t had the opportunity to prove its longevity. However, in other family-friendly considerations, it is among the highest-rated in the minivan segment. The Pacifica has a long list of standard features, including a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, a power liftgate, power sliding doors, and Stow ‘n Go seating. Available features include heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, a rear-seat entertainment system, and a panoramic sunroof. It also earns an EPA-estimated 19 mpg in the city and 28 on the highway for its front-wheel drive model. All-wheel drive is also available and gets 17 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. The Pacifica is the only minivan that is also available as a plug-in hybrid. The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid earns excellent fuel economy with a combined city/highway estimate of 82 mpg. It also has an all-electric range of 32 miles.
- Kia Carnival
Average New Car Price: $39,100
Average 3-Year-Old Used Car Price: N/A
The Kia Carnival was introduced for the 2022 model year, so it has not yet been rated for reliability. The Carnival set out to redefine the minivan segment with its SUV-like exterior styling and upscale interior. It also has a long list of family-friendly features, many of which come standard on the base LX trim and has class-leading 40.2 cubic feet of space behind its third row seats. Between its massive cargo hold, powerful V6 engine, extensive list of safety technology, and standard infotainment features, the Carnival is among the most compelling models in this category.
Best Used Minivans for Reliability
Along with used versions of the minivans mentioned above, there are minivan models that have long been discontinued and are reliable options for used car shoppers.
Chrysler Town and Country
iSeeCars Reliability Score: 8.2
The Chrysler Town and Country was discontinued after the 2016 model year to make way for the Chrysler Pacifica. The Town and Country provides a smooth ride with excellent handling for a minivan. It also comes with an array of standard features including a rearview camera, a 6.5-inch touchscreen display, and Bluetooth connectivity. A second- and third-row dual-screen entertainment system is also available.
Nissan Quest
The Nissan Quest was also discontinued after the 2016 model year, but Nissan’s only minivan offering wasn’t replaced by another model. The Nissan Quest has an attractive interior that rivals what can be found in some luxury vehicles. It offers a smooth ride and is one of the most efficient vehicles in its class at 20 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. It doesn’t have many standard features, but 5- and 8-inch infotainment screens and a flip-down DVD player are available.
Mazda 5
The Mazda 5 was discontinued after the 2015 model year, but used versions can still be found. The Mazda 5 was praised for its low ownership costs and affordable price tag. It also offered a comfortable ride and was fun to drive. While it doesn’t offer the modern features that current minivans offer like an infotainment system, power sliding doors, or a power liftgate, it is a comfortable people-mover for drivers who don’t need a lot of bells and whistles.
Bottom Line:
If you’re looking for a new car for family hauling, the practicality and utility of a minivan can’t be beat. While many drivers would prefer a more stylish midsize crossover, those who fully embrace minivan ownership can enjoy many convenience features that make family hauling easier and more enjoyable. And if you want the most convenient and comfortable ride for your family, you probably want to make sure your minivan is reliable as well. The above models will help protect your most precious cargo, and you’ll likely want to keep them even after a minivan isn’t necessary.

To help buyers narrow down the most reliable minivans, iSeeCars has compiled a list of the best minivans for long-term reliability. These minivans are proven to be among the longest-lasting cars on the road as determined by an analysis of 1.8 million vehicles to see which models are most likely to exceed 200,000 miles. A reliability rating was then calculated and assigned to each vehicle. Here are the most reliable new and used minivans:
Most Reliable New Minivans
- Honda Odyssey
iSeeCars Reliability Score: 8.7 (of 10)
Average New Car Price: $40,155
Average 3-Year-Old Used Car Price: $39,999
The most reliable minivan is the Honda Odyssey. The Odyssey has above-average cargo capacity for its class with 32.8 cubic feet of space behind the third row and 88.8 cubic feet of space behind the second-row seats when the third-row seats are folded down. If both rows of rear seats are folded down, the Odyssey has a total of 144.9 cubic feet of cargo space. The Odyssey’s base trim seats seven, with captain chairs in the second-row and a third-row bench seat. Higher trim levels seat up to eight with three seats in the second row that use Honda’s Magic Slide system, allowing you to easily slide seats into several different configurations to meet your passenger and cargo needs. It has one of the best interior designs in the segment and offers available family-friendly features including a rear-seat reminder, a camera that shows the rear passengers on the infotainment screen, and an intercom system for projecting the front seat passengers’ voice to the rear seats. The Odyssey comes standard with advanced safety features, including forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, lane departure warning, and lane keep assist.
- Toyota Sienna
iSeeCars Reliability Score: 8.7
Average New Car Price: $39,565
Average 3-Year-Old Used Car Price: $38,915
The Toyota Sienna ranks second. Redesigned for 2021, the new Sienna features sharper interior and exterior styling to give it a more upscale appearance. Perhaps the most significant change is its hybrid powertrain that returns a combined 36 mpg, nearly double that of its competitors. The new hybrid four-cylinder engine replaces a V6 engine. An all-wheel drive system is also available and offers similar fuel efficiency at 35 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway. The Sienna comes standard with infotainment features including Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, and a Wi-Fi hot spot. The Sienna comes standard with a suite of safety features, including blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, automatic high-beam headlights, and road sign recognition. Available advanced safety features include hands-free park assist and a surround-view parking system.
- Kia Sedona
iSeeCars Reliability Score: 8.1
Average New Car Price: N/A
Average 3-Year-Old Used Car Price: $32,025
The Kia Sedona ranks third. The Sedona has an upscale interior with premium materials as well as three rows of comfortable seats. The Sedona also earns praise for its comfortable ride quality and responsive handling. The Sedona minivan comes standard with a 7-inch touch screen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth connectivity. Available infotainment features include a rear-seat entertainment system that features two 10.1-inch display screens to keep rear passengers happy. The Sedona comes with a five-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, which is the best in its class. The Kia Sedona was discontinued after the 2021 model year and replaced with the Kia Carnival.
- Dodge Grand Caravan
iSeeCars Reliability Score: 8.0
Average New Car Price: N/A
Average 3-Year-Old Used Car Price: $26,941
The Dodge Grand Caravan ranks fourth. The Grand Caravan was discontinued after the 2020 model year, but new versions can still be found at dealerships for a limited time and often with steep discounts. The Grand Caravan has the lowest starting MSRP of all minivans at $27,530, making it an appealing choice for drivers who want an affordable family vehicle. It also boasts a powerful 283-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 engine that is one of the strongest in its class. While the no-frills Dodge Grand Caravan lacks some of the fancy convenience features of its competitors, it has its hallmark Stow ‘n Go seating, allowing the second-row seats to be stowed within the cabin’s floor to create maximum cargo space. It also has a maximum towing capacity of 3,600 pounds, among the best in its class.
- Chrysler Pacifica
iSeeCars Reliability Score: 6.1
Average New Car Price: $46,548
Average 3-Year-Old Used Car Price: $36,103
The Chrysler Pacifica’s long-term reliability score is low because it was recently introduced as a new model in 2017. As such, it hasn’t had the opportunity to prove its longevity. However, in other family-friendly considerations, it is among the highest-rated in the minivan segment. The Pacifica has a long list of standard features, including a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, a power liftgate, power sliding doors, and Stow ‘n Go seating. Available features include heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, a rear-seat entertainment system, and a panoramic sunroof. It also earns an EPA-estimated 19 mpg in the city and 28 on the highway for its front-wheel drive model. All-wheel drive is also available and gets 17 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. The Pacifica is the only minivan that is also available as a plug-in hybrid. The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid earns excellent fuel economy with a combined city/highway estimate of 82 mpg. It also has an all-electric range of 32 miles.
- Kia Carnival
Average New Car Price: $39,100
Average 3-Year-Old Used Car Price: N/A
The Kia Carnival was introduced for the 2022 model year, so it has not yet been rated for reliability. The Carnival set out to redefine the minivan segment with its SUV-like exterior styling and upscale interior. It also has a long list of family-friendly features, many of which come standard on the base LX trim and has class-leading 40.2 cubic feet of space behind its third row seats. Between its massive cargo hold, powerful V6 engine, extensive list of safety technology, and standard infotainment features, the Carnival is among the most compelling models in this category.
Best Used Minivans for Reliability
Along with used versions of the minivans mentioned above, there are minivan models that have long been discontinued and are reliable options for used car shoppers.
Chrysler Town and Country
iSeeCars Reliability Score: 8.2
The Chrysler Town and Country was discontinued after the 2016 model year to make way for the Chrysler Pacifica. The Town and Country provides a smooth ride with excellent handling for a minivan. It also comes with an array of standard features including a rearview camera, a 6.5-inch touchscreen display, and Bluetooth connectivity. A second- and third-row dual-screen entertainment system is also available.
Nissan Quest
The Nissan Quest was also discontinued after the 2016 model year, but Nissan’s only minivan offering wasn’t replaced by another model. The Nissan Quest has an attractive interior that rivals what can be found in some luxury vehicles. It offers a smooth ride and is one of the most efficient vehicles in its class at 20 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. It doesn’t have many standard features, but 5- and 8-inch infotainment screens and a flip-down DVD player are available.
Mazda 5
The Mazda 5 was discontinued after the 2015 model year, but used versions can still be found. The Mazda 5 was praised for its low ownership costs and affordable price tag. It also offered a comfortable ride and was fun to drive. While it doesn’t offer the modern features that current minivans offer like an infotainment system, power sliding doors, or a power liftgate, it is a comfortable people-mover for drivers who don’t need a lot of bells and whistles.
Bottom Line:
If you’re looking for a new car for family hauling, the practicality and utility of a minivan can’t be beat. While many drivers would prefer a more stylish midsize crossover, those who fully embrace minivan ownership can enjoy many convenience features that make family hauling easier and more enjoyable. And if you want the most convenient and comfortable ride for your family, you probably want to make sure your minivan is reliable as well. The above models will help protect your most precious cargo, and you’ll likely want to keep them even after a minivan isn’t necessary.

When searching for a new pair of headphones, many of the best options available can be expensive. Finding a pair that fits a budget while still maintaining all the desired features can be challenging. Especially with so many different types of headphones on the market, knowing what works for specific needs and uses only makes it harder to find the right pair. However, that does not mean that there are no high-quality headphones with every feature wanted in a more affordable price range.
Factors to consider before buying headphones
Before committing to a pair of headphones, knowing what features to consider is essential. Depending on what you will use the headphones for, different types or qualities may be a higher priority than others.
Types of headphones
There are several varieties of headphones to be aware of including, earbuds, closed back, open back, noise-canceling and those with mic capabilities. Each kind of headphone comes with unique advantages and disadvantages.
Audio quality
Naturally, a big concern is whether or not the music or audio will sound good coming out of the headphones. While usually more expensive brands like Bose will have the best audio quality, several other brands at more affordable prices still maintain quality sound.
Bluetooth capabilities
For users who do not want to worry about plugging into a device, Bluetooth headphones are a great choice. Connecting wirelessly provides more freedom and more accessible use on the go, though, for a top model, the price may be slightly higher.
Headphone use
Depending on if a user is wearing headphones to mix audio, work out, or simply wear around the house, different headphones will be better in some situations than others.

https://cw33.com/news/politics/ap-politics/biden-says-sub-he-commissioned-will-enhance-us-security/ | WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — In a public ceremony delayed two years by the pandemic, President Joe Biden on Saturday commissioned the USS Delaware, a nuclear attack submarine, saying it would enhance national security, though he made no reference to the global turmoil from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“As the commander in chief, I believe it is our sacred obligation as a nation to prepare and equip those troops that we send into harm’s way and to care for them and their families when they return home,’’ he told a crowd of invited guests and dignitaries assembled on a sunny but chilly spring day on a restricted part of the dock in Wilmington.
This latest Navy ship to carry the Delaware name, the president said in brief remarks, “is part of a long tradition of serving our nation proudly and strengthening our nation’s security … not just us, but our allies and partners around the world as well. In fact it’s already been doing that for some time.’’
In April 2020, with the coronavirus pandemic spreading across the United States, the Delaware was commissioned while underwater, a first for a Navy vessel. Since then it has been in training.
After the ceremony, the president took a private tour of the Delaware. He did not respond to questions from reporters about Ukraine.
First lady Jill Biden is the submarine’s sponsor, a role meant to bring a vessel luck. During her remarks, she exclaimed: “Officers and crew of the USS Delaware, man our ship and bring her to life.” The crew responded, “Aye aye, ma’am” and, as she applauded, sailors in dress uniforms ran behind the crowd, then down onto the submarine and lined up on the deck.
Saturday’s commissioning comes amid the war in Ukraine and after Biden announced a budget blueprint that proposes spending $795 billion on defense, which would mean an increase for the Pentagon.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the proposal would at best “leave our armed forces simply treading water” because of inflation. But some progressive Democrats complained that was too much funding after the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan last summer.
With a crew of 136 sailors, the Delaware is the 18th Virginia-class fast attack submarine, which is designed to seek and destroy enemy submarines and surface ships, and can fire Tomahawk cruise missiles, the Navy says.
The ship is 377 feet long, can dive to depths greater than 800 feet and operate at speeds in excess of 25 knots submerged. The submarine is also designed to operate for more than three decades without needing to refuel, according to a Defense Department news release.
This is the first time in a century the name “Delaware” has been used for a Navy vessel, according to a Defense Department statement, and marks the seventh naval ship named after the state which Biden represented in the Senate for 36 years before his tenures as vice president and president. | 0 | 509 | 0 | https://www.wjtv.com/washington/washington-dc/biden-says-sub-he-commissioned-will-enhance-us-security/ | 2022-04-03 14:56:51+00:00 | WILMINGTON, Del.

https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/Applebee-s-franchisee-worker-fired-over-leaked-17053263.php | SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Applebee's has confirmed that an employee of a Missouri-based franchisee has been fired after sending an email speculating that high gas prices and the end of pandemic stimulus money would force employees to work longer hours for lower pay.
“This is the opinion of an individual, not Applebee’s,” Kevin Carrol, Applebee’s chief operations officer, said in a statement, adding that the franchisee terminated the mid-level worker. The employee didn't work directly for Applebee’s.
Issues arose after someone shared the email last month with Jake Holcomb, the now-former manager of an Applebee’s restaurant in Lawrence, Kansas. He was outraged as he read the email, which said: “As inflation continues to climb and gas prices continue to go up that means more hours employees will need to work to maintain their current level of living.”
Holcomb said he printed a couple dozen copies and left them where servers could find them, the Springfield News-Leader reports
“Then, I gave everyone in the restaurant their food for free and we just left; we didn’t even close the store,” he said, adding that he also shared the email with a friend who posted a screenshot to Reddit on March 21.
The restaurant remained closed the next day and the email began circulating widely online. | 0 | 3,628 | 0 | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Applebee-s-franchisee-worker-fired-over-leaked-17053263.php | 2022-04-02 17:50:14+00:00 | SPRINGFIELD, Mo.

https://www.localsyr.com/news/politics/nurses-homicide-conviction-flashpoint-in-nashville-da-race/ | NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The homicide convictionof a former Tennessee nurse for a medication error that killed a patient in 2017 has become a flashpoint in the campaign for Nashville district attorney.
RaDonda Vaught, 38, injected the paralyzing drug vecuronium into 75-year-old Charlene Murphey instead of the sedative Versed on Dec. 26, 2017. Last week, a jury found her guilty of criminally negligent homicide and gross neglect. She will be sentenced in May and could face years in prison.
Nursing and patient safety groups have spoken against the decision to criminally prosecute a medical error, saying it will cause other providers to try to hide their mistakes and make health care less safe overall. After the guilty verdict, the two candidates hoping to replace Nashville District Attorney Glenn Funk issued their own statements condemning the prosecution.
P. Danielle Nellis said that the medical mistake was “ a classic medical malpractice issueand should have been resolved as such.” She suggested that Funk does not use his prosecutorial discretion wisely and may be influenced by politics. Candidate Sara Beth Myers issued a statement vowing not to criminally charge medical professionals“for mistakes that amount to civil malpractice.”
Nashville’s district attorney serves eight-year terms, and the issue might not have gained traction had the trial not happened so close to the election. Myers, Funk and Nellis will face off in the local Democratic primary on May 3. No Republicans are running for the position of Nashville’s chief prosecutor, so the primary will likely decide the race.
Funk fired back on Thursday, saying Vaught’s actions have been mischaracterized as a simple mistake. His statement listed 18 things that Vaught did wrong, contributing to Murphey’s death.
Murphey had been admitted to the neurological intensive care unit after suffering from a brain bleed, according to trial testimony. Vaught was asked to inject her with Versed to help with anxiety before a PET scan but could not find the drug in an automatic dispensing cabinet. She used an override and accidentally grabbed vecuronium instead.
Vaught failed to read the name of the drug, didn’t notice a red warning on the top of the medication, failed to notice the drug was a powder that had to be reconstituted instead of a liquid, and didn’t stay with the patient to check for an adverse reaction, according to testimony.
Funk said that Vaught’s homicide conviction means she will never practice medicine again, which is what Murphey’s family wanted.
Funk’s office also released a statement from Murphey’s daughter-in-law Chandra Murphey, which thanked prosecutors. It also said the politicization of the case is “humiliating, degrading and retraumatizes us. We thought we had closure. We may never get over the reaction to this verdict.”
In a telephone interview, Myers said she has already heard from a number of medical professionals who are concerned about possible future prosecutions by Funk’s office. Funk has cast Vaught as an outlier whose egregious conduct won’t set a precedent for how other provider errors are handled.
Myers said prosecutors need to focus on intentional violent crime and accused Funk of “attempting to grab headlines” with a high-profile case.

Vaught failed to read the name of the drug, didn’t notice a red warning on the top of the medication, failed to notice the drug was a powder that had to be reconstituted instead of a liquid, and didn’t stay with the patient to check for an adverse reaction, according to testimony.
Funk said that Vaught’s homicide conviction means she will never practice medicine again, which is what Murphey’s family wanted.
Funk’s office also released a statement from Murphey’s daughter-in-law Chandra Murphey, which thanked prosecutors. It also said the politicization of the case is “humiliating, degrading and retraumatizes us. We thought we had closure. We may never get over the reaction to this verdict.”
In a telephone interview, Myers said she has already heard from a number of medical professionals who are concerned about possible future prosecutions by Funk’s office. Funk has cast Vaught as an outlier whose egregious conduct won’t set a precedent for how other provider errors are handled.
Myers said prosecutors need to focus on intentional violent crime and accused Funk of “attempting to grab headlines” with a high-profile case.
“How does the prosecution of this health care provider make our community safer?” she asked. |

https://www.mrt.com/news/article/St-Louis-mayor-signs-bill-allowing-voluntary-17053365.php | ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis mayor has signed a bill allowing taxpayers to voluntarily donate to a slavery reparations fund.
Tishaura Jones, the city’s first Black female mayor, described the move in a statement Friday as an effort to “reverse generational wrongs," the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
The bill, passed last month by the Board of Aldermen, will allow residents and companies to contribute to the fund by adding donations to yearly property tax bills or to the joint water and refuse collection bills issued quarterly.
When the measure was considered by an aldermanic committee, members expressed concern about the bill’s lack of detail on how the money would be disbursed.
The statement from the mayor’s office said community stakeholders and academics would work together to develop a plan. It also described the bill as a “first step."
Mayoral spokesman Nick Dunne didn’t say what further reparations ideas might be looked at here, saying “it’s in the exploratory stages.”
Last June, Jones was among 11 mayors around the country who pledged to develop high-profile pilot projects in their cities to set an example for the federal government on how a nationwide program might work. | 0 | 16,232 | 0 | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/St-Louis-mayor-signs-bill-allowing-voluntary-17053365.php | 2022-04-02 19:11:09+00:00 | ST.

https://www.koin.com/news/national/man-in-gofundme-scam-gets-27-month-federal-prison-sentence/ | CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey man who conspired with his then-girlfriend to cook up a feel-good story about a helpful homeless man and then used the lie to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations online was sentenced in federal court Friday to more than two years in prison.
Mark D’Amico will also have to serve three years probation once he completes his 27-month term. He also must pay restitution and undergo gambling, drug and mental health counseling.
Before being sentenced, D’Amico told U.S. District Judge Noel Hillman that he was a changed man, devoted to his family.
”The person that did the things that led us here no longer exists,” D’Amico said.
He had pleaded guilty before Hillman in Camden in November to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. An indictment unsealed in January 2020 charged D’Amico with a total of 16 counts of conspiracy, wire fraud and money laundering.
He had already pleaded guilty to charges in state court last year. His former girlfriend, Katelyn McClure, and homeless veteran Johnny Bobbitt Jr. previously pleaded guilty to state and federal charges. Bobbitt was sentenced to five years’ probation on state charges in 2019. Both are scheduled to be sentenced on the federal charges this year.
The trio made up a story in late 2017 about Bobbitt giving $20 to help McClure when her car ran out of gas in Philadelphia, according to prosecutors. D’Amico and McClure solicited donations through GoFundMe, purportedly to help Bobbitt, and conducted newspaper and television interviews. Investigators said D’Amico was the plot’s ringleader.
They eventually raised more than $400,000 in donations over about a month, according to investigators, who said almost no part of the tale was true. The group had met near a Philadelphia casino in October 2017 shortly before they told their story, prosecutors said.
Authorities began investigating after Bobbitt sued the couple, accusing them of not giving him the money. The federal criminal complaint alleged all of the money raised in the campaign was spent by March 2018, with large chunks spent by McClure and D’Amico on a recreational vehicle, a BMW and trips to casinos in Las Vegas and New Jersey. | 0 | 2,131 | 0 | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4494205 | 2022-04-04 22:24:48+00:00 | CAMDEN, N.J.

https://www.koin.com/news/politics/greene-sues-to-stop-challenge-to-her-reelection-eligibility/ | ATLANTA (AP) — U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a lawsuit Friday challenging a state law that a group of voters is using to challenge her eligibility to run for reelection.
The challenge filed last month with the Georgia secretary of state’s office alleges that Greene, a Republican, helped facilitate theJan. 6, 2021, riot that disrupted Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s presidential election victory. That violates a provision of the 14th Amendment and makes her ineligible to run for reelection, the challenge says.
Greene’s lawsuit asks a judge to declare that the law that the voters are using to challenge her eligibility is itself unconstitutional and to prohibit state officials from enforcing it.
A rarely cited part of the 14th Amendment says no one can serve in Congress “who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress . . . to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same.” Ratified shortly after the Civil War, it was meant in part to keep representatives who had fought for the Confederacy from returning to Congress.
Georgia law says any voter who is eligible to vote for a candidate may challenge that candidate’s qualifications by filing a written complaint within two weeks after the deadline for qualifying. The secretary of state must then notify the candidate of the challenge and request a hearing before an administrative law judge. After holding a hearing, the administrative law judge presents findings to the secretary of state, who then must determine whether the candidate is qualified.
Free Speech for People, a national election and campaign finance reform group, filed the challenge March 24 on behalf of the group of voters. A hearing before an administrative law judge has been set for April 13.
Greene “vigorously denies that she ‘aided and engaged in insurrection to obstruct the peaceful transfer of presidential power,’” the lawsuit says.
The law only requires the people challenging a candidate’s eligibility to file a written statement of why they believe the candidate isn’t qualified, and that automatically triggers the secretary of state’s request for a hearing before an administrative law judge, the lawsuit says. The fact that a government investigation can be triggered based only on the challenger’s belief violates Greene’s First Amendment right to run for political office, the lawsuit says.
The challenge statute also puts the burden on Greene to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that she didn’t engage in the alleged behavior, and that “burden shifting” violates the due process clause of the 14th Amendment, the lawsuit says.
The lawsuit also alleges that the challenge statute “directly usurps” Congress’ constitutional ability to judge whether a member is qualified.
Finally, a law passed in 1872 removed the disqualifications put in place by the part of the 14th Amendment that the challengers are trying to use against Greene, lawsuit says
Voters supported by Free Speech for People filed a similar challenge against U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn in North Carolina that has been blocked by a federal judge. The State Board of Elections has until April 11 to decide whether to appeal that ruling. | 0 | 118,268 | 0 | https://www.pahomepage.com/news/politics/greene-sues-to-stop-challenge-to-her-reelection-eligibility/ | 2022-04-01 21:44:40+00:00 | ATLANTA (AP) — U.S. Rep.

The challenge filed last month with the Georgia secretary of state’s office alleges that Greene, a Republican, helped facilitate theJan. 6, 2021, riot that disrupted Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s presidential election victory. That violates a provision of the 14th Amendment and makes her ineligible to run for reelection, the challenge says.
Greene’s lawsuit asks a judge to declare that the law that the voters are using to challenge her eligibility is itself unconstitutional and to prohibit state officials from enforcing it.
A rarely cited part of the 14th Amendment says no one can serve in Congress “who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress . . . to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same.” Ratified shortly after the Civil War, it was meant in part to keep representatives who had fought for the Confederacy from returning to Congress.
Georgia law says any voter who is eligible to vote for a candidate may challenge that candidate’s qualifications by filing a written complaint within two weeks after the deadline for qualifying. The secretary of state must then notify the candidate of the challenge and request a hearing before an administrative law judge. After holding a hearing, the administrative law judge presents findings to the secretary of state, who then must determine whether the candidate is qualified.
Free Speech for People, a national election and campaign finance reform group, filed the challenge March 24 on behalf of the group of voters. A hearing before an administrative law judge has been set for April 13.
Greene “vigorously denies that she ‘aided and engaged in insurrection to obstruct the peaceful transfer of presidential power,’” the lawsuit says.
The law only requires the people challenging a candidate’s eligibility to file a written statement of why they believe the candidate isn’t qualified, and that automatically triggers the secretary of state’s request for a hearing before an administrative law judge, the lawsuit says. The fact that a government investigation can be triggered based only on the challenger’s belief violates Greene’s First Amendment right to run for political office, the lawsuit says.
The challenge statute also puts the burden on Greene to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that she didn’t engage in the alleged behavior, and that “burden shifting” violates the due process clause of the 14th Amendment, the lawsuit says.
The lawsuit also alleges that the challenge statute “directly usurps” Congress’ constitutional ability to judge whether a member is qualified.
Finally, a law passed in 1872 removed the disqualifications put in place by the part of the 14th Amendment that the challengers are trying to use against Greene, lawsuit says

https://cw33.com/news/u-s-news/ap-u-s-headlines/report-scrutinizes-virginia-response-to-snowy-i-95-gridlock/ | RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia state agencies collectively “lost situational awareness” and failed to keep up with growing gridlock during a January snowstorm that stranded hundreds of motorists along Interstate 95, a state-commissioned report released Friday said.
While the 41-page report offered suggestions for improving future emergency responses, it did not ascribe blame to any single person or agency. It noted first responders faced unusually heavy snowfall, busier-than-normal traffic and COVID-19-related staffing shortages — all while dealing with a highway corridor notorious for congestion in the best of circumstances.
State officials, including leaders of the Virginia Department of Transportation, vowed to thoroughly review the report and its recommendations.
“VDOT’s top priority is and always will be the safety of the traveling public, and as we learn from each event, this report highlighted key areas for us to refine in our winter-weather operations,” Virginia Commissioner of Highways Stephen Brich said.
No deaths or injuries were reported from the gridlock near the nation’s capital. But the monster logjams fed outrage among motorists, some of them stranded overnight Monday, Jan. 3, into Tuesday, Jan. 4, pleading on social media for help.
The report included a detailed timeline. It noted plowing began as snow began accumulating, but earlier rain meant roads couldn’t be pretreated.
Traffic accidents began just before 4 a.m. Monday and conditions worsened for hours, with traffic bogging down in heavy afternoon congestion, the report said. Snowfall then intensified, with reports of three inches an hour falling in the Fredericksburg area south of Washington, D.C. Snowplows struggled to keep up.
The queue of traffic continued to build and by 3 a.m. that Tuesday, numerous clusters of disabled cars and tractor-trailers were scattered along a 40-mile (65-kilometer) stretch of I-95 both ways, the report said.
With alternate routes impassable, problems mounted and “state agencies collectively lost situational awareness and could not verify the extent and locations of the blockages,” according to the report.
It said that was partly due to numerous technological challenges, including a traffic camera failure during widespread power outages; a power outage and ensuing generator issue at a Virginia State Police communications center; severe communications issues with inoperable cell towers; and a system failure of the VDOT real-time traffic information service.
Information also flooded in from social media posts but responding agencies didn’t have a plan for using those “non-traditional data sources” to form an operational picture, the report said, adding that “information was not conveyed to agency leadership in real time.”
Meanwhile, some VDOT districts experienced field staff shortages because of COVID-19, and Virginia State Police had “widespread staffing issues” before the storm, according to the report.
Adding to the woes, passenger traffic was higher than normal because of recent holidays and a raft of flight cancellations, the report said. And “just-in-time” trucking was up since 2019, partly due to supply chain issues.
The report addressed questions frequently raised in the immediate aftermath of the snowstorm, including why then-Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat, did not activate the Virginia National Guard.
The report said state officials explored the possibility but noted, as Northam did at the time, that the Guard is not a “quick reaction force.”
The report said the Guard, even if it had been activated, would have had little to no impact on a “situation already in progress.”
The report also addressed questions raised about why more direct assistance to the stranded motorists was not provided. State officials considering that concluded the best strategy was to stay focused on clearing the highway, it said.
Responding to the report, Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin and members of his administration took critical aim at Northam and his office.
Youngkin said in a news release that the report showed “the previous administration’s leadership did not properly prepare or communicate.”
In a letter to Youngkin, Transportation Secretary W. Sheppard Miller III and Public Safety Secretary Robert Mosier claimed there was “almost no apparent involvement by the Governor or his senior staff.”
The secretaries wrote it appeared neither Northam nor his staff considered an emergency declaration. Emails obtained by The Associated Press in the aftermath of the gridlock showed that was not the case and that consideration was given as to whether one was appropriate.
Northam’s name was mentioned only once in the report, which did not list anyone from his office among those interviewed. The report did not explain the interview selections.
The report was produced by CNA, a nonprofit research and analysis organization that has conducted similar work for the U.S. Navy and local, state and federal government agencies. It said it drew from documents including situation reports, real-time planning documents, news articles, social media, interviews and other sources.
The report also included an admonition to motorists.
“Additionally, the public bears some responsibility to stay informed about road conditions and traffic during snowstorms, and should implement an informed decision-making process before choosing to take to the roadways,” it said.

It noted first responders faced unusually heavy snowfall, busier-than-normal traffic and COVID-19-related staffing shortages — all while dealing with a highway corridor notorious for congestion in the best of circumstances.
State officials, including leaders of the Virginia Department of Transportation, vowed to thoroughly review the report and its recommendations.
“VDOT’s top priority is and always will be the safety of the traveling public, and as we learn from each event, this report highlighted key areas for us to refine in our winter-weather operations,” Virginia Commissioner of Highways Stephen Brich said.
No deaths or injuries were reported from the gridlock near the nation’s capital. But the monster logjams fed outrage among motorists, some of them stranded overnight Monday, Jan. 3, into Tuesday, Jan. 4, pleading on social media for help.
The report included a detailed timeline. It noted plowing began as snow began accumulating, but earlier rain meant roads couldn’t be pretreated.
Traffic accidents began just before 4 a.m. Monday and conditions worsened for hours, with traffic bogging down in heavy afternoon congestion, the report said. Snowfall then intensified, with reports of three inches an hour falling in the Fredericksburg area south of Washington, D.C. Snowplows struggled to keep up.
The queue of traffic continued to build and by 3 a.m. that Tuesday, numerous clusters of disabled cars and tractor-trailers were scattered along a 40-mile (65-kilometer) stretch of I-95 both ways, the report said.
With alternate routes impassable, problems mounted and “state agencies collectively lost situational awareness and could not verify the extent and locations of the blockages,” according to the report.
It said that was partly due to numerous technological challenges, including a traffic camera failure during widespread power outages; a power outage and ensuing generator issue at a Virginia State Police communications center; severe communications issues with inoperable cell towers; and a system failure of the VDOT real-time traffic information service.
Information also flooded in from social media posts but responding agencies didn’t have a plan for using those “non-traditional data sources” to form an operational picture, the report said, adding that “information was not conveyed to agency leadership in real time.”
Meanwhile, some VDOT districts experienced field staff shortages because of COVID-19, and Virginia State Police had “widespread staffing issues” before the storm, according to the report.
Adding to the woes, passenger traffic was higher than normal because of recent holidays and a raft of flight cancellations, the report said. And “just-in-time” trucking was up since 2019, partly due to supply chain issues.
The report addressed questions frequently raised in the immediate aftermath of the snowstorm, including why then-Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat, did not activate the Virginia National Guard.
The report said state officials explored the possibility but noted, as Northam did at the time, that the Guard is not a “quick reaction force.”
The report said the Guard, even if it had been activated, would have had little to no impact on a “situation already in progress.”
The report also addressed questions raised about why more direct assistance to the stranded motorists was not provided. State officials considering that concluded the best strategy was to stay focused on clearing the highway, it said.
Responding to the report, Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin and members of his administration took critical aim at Northam and his office.
Youngkin said in a news release that the report showed “the previous administration’s leadership did not properly prepare or communicate.”
In a letter to Youngkin, Transportation Secretary W. Sheppard Miller III and Public Safety Secretary Robert Mosier claimed there was “almost no apparent involvement by the Governor or his senior staff.”
The secretaries wrote it appeared neither Northam nor his staff considered an emergency declaration. Emails obtained by The Associated Press in the aftermath of the gridlock showed that was not the case and that consideration was given as to whether one was appropriate.
Northam’s name was mentioned only once in the report, which did not list anyone from his office among those interviewed. The report did not explain the interview selections.
The report was produced by CNA, a nonprofit research and analysis organization that has conducted similar work for the U.S. Navy and local, state and federal government agencies. It said it drew from documents including situation reports, real-time planning documents, news articles, social media, interviews and other sources.
The report also included an admonition to motorists.
“Additionally, the public bears some responsibility to stay informed about road conditions and traffic during snowstorms, and should implement an informed decision-making process before choosing to take to the roadways,” it said.

https://www.westernjournal.com/mel-gibsons-fox-news-interview-comes-bizarre-end-asked-will-smith/ | Mel Gibson's Fox News Interview Comes to a Bizarre End When He's Asked About Will Smith
Actor Mel Gibson had nothing to say Friday night after Fox News host Jesse Watters asked him about the Will Smith incident.
Gibson was interviewed as part of his promotional efforts for his new film “Father Stu” when Watters steered the interview to Sunday’s incident at the Oscars in which Smith slapped Chris Rock
Gibson had just finished a segment of the congenial interview devoted to a discussion of the rampant egotism of modern America when Watters shifted ground.
“You understand it probably better than a lot of people, with your career,” said Watters.
“I was wondering if, you know, you had been the one that jumped up out of his seat and slapped Chris Rock, if you would have been treated the same way, Mel?” he said

Gibson pointed his finger at the camera and shook his head, appearing to laugh as his audio cut out.
A female voice off-camera replied for Gibson, saying, “Hello, Jessie? Thank you. That’s our time.”
The Fox News host gave it one more try, asking “Have you ever thought about that?”
The unseen voice then intervened
“Thank you, Jesse. That is our time.”

On Friday, Smith officially resigned as a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences due to the incident.
“My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable. The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home,” he said in a statement, according to Variety.
“I am heartbroken. I want to put the focus back on those who deserve attention for their achievements and allow the Academy to get back to the incredible work it does to support creativity and artistry in film,” he said in the statement.

The Academy has a meeting planned for April 18 to discuss how to handle Smith, who for now keeps his Oscar and the right to be honored by the Academy, but no longer is considered a voting member.
The Screen Actors Guild has also issued a statement saying that it “will work to ensure this behavior is appropriately addressed.”

Mel Gibson’s interview ended awkwardly after he was asked a question about Will Smith.
The actor and director talked about his new movie, Father Stuwhen the conversation turned to the incident in which Smith slapped Chris Rock during the 2022 Oscars ceremony last Sunday, March 27.
Fox News host Jesse Watters commented, “You probably understand it better than a lot of people, with your career. I was wondering if, you know, you would have jumped out of your seat and slapped Chris Rock in the face if you had been treated the same way, Mel.”
Gibson can be seen smiling and pointing at the camera. It was obvious that he wanted to avoid a media blast. His publicist’s voice can be heard saying, “Hey Jesse, thanks, our time is up.”
Watters tries one more time and asks, “Did you ever think of that?” However, Gibson’s publicist repeats: “Thank you, Jesse. Uh, our time is up.”
In what became one of the most talked about moments in Oscar history, Smith slapped Rock onstage after the comedian made a joke about his wife, actress Jada Pinkett Smith. The incident occurred after Rock made a joke about Pinkett Smith’s shaved head. She has openly commented in the past about her alopecia diagnosis.
Smith went on to win the Best Actor award for king richard at the arrival ceremony, he received a standing ovation from many celebrities in the crowd.
The actor, following criticism, resigned as a member of the Academy, but also faces disciplinary action.
He also offered an apology to Rock, and the comedian commented during his first show on stand up since the incident on Wednesday, March 30 that “still processes” what happened.
In 2006, Gibson was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in Malibu and making anti-Semitic comments to a police officer, for which he later apologized, saying the comments were “made in a moment of insanity.”
According to a police report, Gibson asked the officer if he was Jewish and exclaimed, “Fucking Jews. The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.”
The actor was blacklisted in Hollywood for a short time, but, in 2017, he was nominated for Best Director for Hacksaw Ridge, starring Andrew Garfield. |

- Mel Gibson's handler shut down an interview with Jesse Waters after the Fox News host asked about Will Smith's slapping Chris Rock onstage at the Oscars
- 'If you had been the one that jumped up out of his seat and slapped Chris Rock... would you have been treated the same way?' Watters asked the veteran actor
- An off-screen female voice cut in at that point, telling Watters that Gibson's time was up as the actor grimaced and awkwardly shook his head
- Gibson is no stranger to onstage conflict - in 2016, he was heckled by Golden Globes cohost Ricky Gervais for his 2006 DUI arrest and previous antisemitism
Mel Gibson's handler abruptly shut down an interview with Jesse Watters on Friday after the Fox News host asked the veteran actor, who is no stranger to onstage conflict, about the confrontation between Will Smith's and Chris Rock at the Oscars.
'You understand if probably better than a lot of people, with you career,' Watters led in, deviating from an on-air conversation about the two-time Oscar winner's upcoming film, 'Father Stu.'
'And I was wondering if, you know, you had been the one that jumped up out of his seat and slapped Chris Rock, if you would have been treated the same way. Mel?'
Gibson points his finger into the camera, grimaces and shakes his head, then waves his other hand.
'Hello, Jesse? Um, thank you, that's our time,' cuts in a female voice from off-camera.
Gibson continues to smile awkwardly, looking sideways off-camera and then into his lap. But Watters pressed further.
On Friday, Jesse Watters tried to get commentary from veteran actor Mel Gibson on Will Smith's and Chris Rock's altercation at the Oscars ceremony - but was quickly shut down by the actor's handler
The interview aired about an hour after Smith resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, saying he will accept any further consequences from the Academy's board for slapping Rock onstage at the Oscars
Gibson shakes his finger at the camera and smiles awkwardly at the question before his staffer intervenes
Gibson keeps his gaze lowered until Watters thanks him for his time, to which Gibson looks back up and waves
'Have you ever thought about that?'
'Um, I'm - thank you, Jesse,' the female voice responds. 'Uh, we - that is our time.'
Gibson keeps his gaze lowered until Watters thanks him for his time, to which Gibson looks back up and waves.
'Well, Mel, thank you very much for joining Jesse Watters Primetime. We really appreciate it,' Watters said.
The interview aired about an hour after Smith resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, saying he will accept any further consequences from the Academy's board for slapping Rock onstage at the Oscars ceremony.
After Oscars presenter Rock cracked a joke about Smith's wife Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head at Sunday's ceremony, saying that she could star in 'GI Jane 2', Smith stormed the stage and slapped the comedian.
In a statement, the best actor winner for 'King Richard' said his actions 'were shocking, painful, and inexcusable. The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home.'
The Academy held an emergency board meeting of its governors on Wednesday to begin a formal review process of Smith's conduct.
Disciplinary action could include anything from forcing him to hand back his Oscar to the most severe punishment - suspension from the Academy - which would put Smith among the ranks of Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby, who were both expelled for sexual misconduct.
The board is scheduled to meet again on April 15 to determine additional consequences.
Gibson experienced a tense onstage experience at 2016's Golden Globes ceremony - although it didn't come to blows - when co-host Ricky Gervais brought up the Braveheart actor's 2006 DUI arrest and previous antisemitic comments.
As Gibson took to the stage to present an award, Gervais said: 'What the f*** does sugart**s even mean?'
Gibson experienced a tense onstage experience at 2016's Golden Globes ceremony when co-host Ricky Gervais brought up the Braveheart actor's 2006 DUI arrest and previous antisemitic comments
After being pulled over by a female police officer a decade ago, the Braveheart actor reportedly said: 'What do you think you're looking at, sugart**ts?'
He also allegedly asked the arresting officer whether she was Jewish, exclaiming 'f***ing Jews... the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.'
Then, in July 2010, Gibson's girlfriend at the time Oksana Grigorieva recorded him in phone conversations in which he allegedly used both racial and homophobic slurs.

https://pix11.com/news/national-news/ap-national/man-in-gofundme-scam-gets-27-month-federal-prison-sentence/ | CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey man who conspired with his then-girlfriend to cook up a feel-good story about a helpful homeless man and then used the lie to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations online was sentenced in federal court Friday to more than two years in prison.
Mark D’Amico will also have to serve three years probation once he completes his 27-month term. He also must pay restitution and undergo gambling, drug and mental health counseling.
Before being sentenced, D’Amico told U.S. District Judge Noel Hillman that he was a changed man, devoted to his family.
”The person that did the things that led us here no longer exists,” D’Amico said.
He had pleaded guilty before Hillman in Camden in November to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. An indictment unsealed in January 2020 charged D’Amico with a total of 16 counts of conspiracy, wire fraud and money laundering.
He had already pleaded guilty to charges in state court last year. His former girlfriend, Katelyn McClure, and homeless veteran Johnny Bobbitt Jr. previously pleaded guilty to state and federal charges. Bobbitt was sentenced to five years’ probation on state charges in 2019. Both are scheduled to be sentenced on the federal charges this year.
The trio made up a story in late 2017 about Bobbitt giving $20 to help McClure when her car ran out of gas in Philadelphia, according to prosecutors. D’Amico and McClure solicited donations through GoFundMe, purportedly to help Bobbitt, and conducted newspaper and television interviews. Investigators said D’Amico was the plot’s ringleader.
They eventually raised more than $400,000 in donations over about a month, according to investigators, who said almost no part of the tale was true. The group had met near a Philadelphia casino in October 2017 shortly before they told their story, prosecutors said.
Authorities began investigating after Bobbitt sued the couple, accusing them of not giving him the money. The federal criminal complaint alleged all of the money raised in the campaign was spent by March 2018, with large chunks spent by McClure and D’Amico on a recreational vehicle, a BMW and trips to casinos in Las Vegas and New Jersey. | 0 | 2,131 | 0 | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4494205 | 2022-04-04 22:24:48+00:00 | CAMDEN, N.J.

On Friday, April 1, patients, families, and care teams from the Stramski Children’s Developmental Center at MemorialCare Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach came together to kick off Autism Awareness Month and World Autism Day, which is on Saturday, April 2, by lighting Miller Children’s & Women’s blue.
Stramski Center Advisory Board members, patients, families, and the care team formed a human light bulb in front of Miller Children’s & Women’s. Dressed in blue, holding 44 blue balloons and one white balloon, the group demonstrated that 1 in 44 children in the United States are diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
“Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that some children are born with and some are diagnosed with later in life,” says Ioana Pal , PsyD, clinical psychologist, Stramski Children’s Developmental Center. “It is important to bring awareness to autism because without early intervention, it becomes difficult for kids to meet their benchmarks and be in line with other kids at school.”
Autism is a complex developmental disability that can affect a child’s ability to communicate and interact socially with others. It’s a spectrum disorder that affects individuals in many different ways and on a varying range of levels.
At the beginning of April, organizations around the world “Light It Up Blue” in commemoration of the United Nations sanctioned World Autism Awareness Day. Miller Children’s lights up the outside of their hospital blue all month long.
“Bringing awareness through these kinds of events makes it easier to connect with the community,” says Dr. Pal. “It helps people know where to go for assessments and get referred to the right therapies.”
The Stramski Center at Miller Children’s & Women’s is a comprehensive center that cares for children — from birth to age 21 — with behavioral and developmental conditions, such as autism, Fragile X, ADHD/ADD, Down Syndrome and other learning disabilities. The Stramski Center is home to Southern California’s only Fragile X Program with families coming from all over the Southwest to be treated. Fragile X Syndrome is the most common known single gene cause of autism.

Watering the lawn isn’t the most exciting chore, but it is essential to keeping your grass healthy and fresh, especially if you have a large yard. The garden hose that’s right for your yard depends on how often you plan to water, your particular climate and your budget.
For watering large yards, look for garden hoses with a diameter of either 5/8 inch or 3/4 inch and a length of at least 50 feet. The larger diameter allows a higher water pressure, and the longer length lets you roam the yard with ease.

Watering the lawn isn’t the most exciting chore, but it is essential to keeping your grass healthy and fresh, especially if you have a large yard. The garden hose that’s right for your yard depends on how often you plan to water, your particular climate and your budget.
For watering large yards, look for garden hoses with a diameter of either 5/8 inch or 3/4 inch and a length of at least 50 feet. The larger diameter allows a higher water pressure, and the longer length lets you roam the yard with ease.

https://www.mrt.com/news/article/Court-upholds-conviction-of-man-who-shot-at-17053441.php | RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A Virginia appeals court has upheld the conviction of a man accused of shooting at police officers who were patrolling the streets around a public housing complex in Richmond two years ago.
Anthony J. Slayton was found guilty at a bench trial of malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of malicious wounding, maliciously shooting into an occupied vehicle, and shooting from a vehicle. He was sentenced to nine years in prison.
Slayton argued that the evidence presented at his trial was insufficient to support his convictions. The appeals court rejected his claims on Tuesday.
According to court records, three Richmond detectives were in plain clothes and riding in an unmarked SUV in August 2020 when they heard that police units had been dispatched to Mosby Court for a shooting incident.
As they drove to the scene, their vehicle was hit by at least seven gunshots from a passing car. One of the bullets shattered the windshield and grazed the shoulder of one officer, who was also hit by fragments of shattered glass.
The suspects’ car was stopped just moments later by another officer, who recovered two loaded handguns hidden underneath the floor mat of the front passenger seat where Slayton had been sitting. A forensics expert linked the guns to casings found at the crime scene and a bullet recovered from the police vehicle.
Prosecutors at trial also played a recording of a jail call Slayton made while awaiting trial in which he stated that one of his co-defendants had betrayed him by telling police he was the shooter.
Slayton argued on appeal that the evidence was insufficient to support a finding that he was the shooter, and that the culprit could have been any one of the other occupants of the vehicle.
The appeals court said Slayton’s hypothesis that he switched places with another passenger just after the shooting, or that the driver shot across him out of the passenger’s side window, were not supported by the evidence or any reasonable inferences.
Codefendant Jerad Wyche-Alexander was convicted of the same charges that Slayton faced and sentenced to seven years in prison. The driver of the car from which the shots were fired, Nigg’i Le’quan Harris, was sentenced to three years after pleading guilty to malicious wounding, use of a firearm and maliciously shooting into an occupied vehicle. | 0 | 25,170 | 0 | https://www.michigansthumb.com/news/article/Court-upholds-conviction-of-man-who-shot-at-17053441.php | 2022-04-02 20:19:43+00:00 | RICHMOND, Va.
