- New offering provides rapid solar tracking design through installation for sites under 20 megawatts
- FTC will utilize its proprietary Voyager+ tracker, a next-generation 2P single-axis tracker, which provides ease of installation, high energy yields vs. fixed-tilt systems, and reliability even when faced with harsh weather conditions.
- AUI Partners to manage lead generation, plant design, and construction, ensuring fast quoting, delivery, and rapid installation times
AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As reports indicate the global distributed generation (DG) market could reach $386 billion by 2026, and with North America being the fastest-growing region, solar tracking provider FTC Solar (Nasdaq: FTCI) is collaborating with solar contracting company AUI Partners on a new offering for the DG market. With faster delivery and installation times than current solutions on the market for smaller projects, FTC Solar's DG Solutions Business Unit with AUI Partners will provide solar tracking services for sites under 20MWs. This new collaboration will help FTC Solar's customers achieve maximum energy optimization by utilizing FTC Solar's proven Voyager+ 2P solar tracker and AUI's extensive experience in site design and construction. The partnership will leverage an innovative sourcing strategy and inventory capabilities with the goal of providing delivery lead times of as short as 8 weeks – based on project specifications.
"Despite the growth in DG as a result of federal and state-wide pushes for increased solar projects, there is still a shortage of comprehensive solutions that give customers what they need in a timely manner," said Mario Carbone, Partner at AUI Partners. "By combining FTC's resilient and versatile Voyager tracker and optimization software with our lead generation, design, delivery, and installation services, we are able to offer customers an innovative design-through-installation service that ultimately benefits developers by reducing the number of project partners they need to commission."
FTC Solar and AUI Partners are targeting multiple segments for this offering, including commercial and industrial (C&I), community solar programs, projects for independent power producers (IPP), and smaller one-off projects for sectors such as agriculture. FTC Solar and AUI Partners will utilize proprietary automation technology to provide a fast turnaround time on project quotes. The partnership is available throughout the United States.
"By ensuring materials are readily available for these projects, DG Solutions will deliver faster than many other providers in the market, which can require more than six months," said Sean Hunkler, CEO of FTC Solar. "We see tremendous growth potential for this market over the next few years. However, for it to grow successfully, resilient turnkey solutions are imperative, and working with the team at AUI Partners will help us complete these projects quickly, which is a win for both the customer and the planet."
FTC Solar unveiled its Voyager+ product in September of 2021 to optimize for large format modules, withstand wind speeds up to 120mph, and provide tracking solutions for complex sites. To optimize the Voyager+ tracker, FTC offers a variety of software solutions, including its SunPath platform, which will also be available for Distributed Generation projects.
Meet the team during this year's RE+ on September 19th to 22nd at booth #504. Come see how FTC Solar and AUI Partners can reduce your lead time and increase your energy yields.

LIVE at 6:45: Metro Sports TV broadcasts SF Lincoln vs. SF Jefferson football
Published: Sep. 10, 2022 at 3:04 PM CDT|Updated: 29 minutes ago
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - We have a special Saturday night of high school football as Sioux Falls Lincoln takes on Sioux Falls Jefferson, and Metro Sports TV is broadcasting the game live.

A local advocacy group presented to the Longmont City Council Tuesday night about creating a special taxing district to fund early childhood development.
Although several aspects of the Early Childhood Alliance’s potential November 2023 ballot question remain unknown, such as how much the tax would generate, council members expressed interest in securing a public-funding stream for early childhood educational programs.
“I’m always skeptical of special districts,” Mayor Pro Tem Aren Rodriguez said during Tuesday’s meeting. “But, this is too important to … overlook.”
The Early Childhood Alliance is composed of residents from the St. Vrain Valley and Boulder Valley school districts and is in the process of presenting to local governments such as Longmont in hopes of getting community buy-in for its potential ballot measure.
The special district would encompass the Boulder and Weld county areas of the Boulder Valley and St. Vrain Valley school districts.
“When we started as the Longmont Early Childhood Alliance we quickly realized that this was bigger than the city of Longmont,” Matt Eldred, TLC Learning Center executive director and the Early Childhood Alliance’s spokesperson said Tuesday. “Providers have shared stories about long waitlists, about how they don’t have enough staff, the turnover is high and inadequate compensation.”
Approximately 20,000 children under the age of 5 live in the service area, according to the Early Childhood Alliance’s presentation Tuesday.
However, of those children, only 35% meet school-readiness criteria upon entering kindergarten, according to the Alliance’s representative.
Eldred said that the funding generated by the proposed tax would be funneled into early childhood programs that are already in existence.
“What we do not intend to do is to build buildings,” Eldred said.
While Colorado is in the process of rolling out its Universal Preschool program, in many cases, it only covers up to 15 hours of free preschool per week.
“It’s a drop in the bucket,” Eldred said. “It is a great start but that is a program that is limited.”
According to Tuesday’s presentation, the average cost of early childcare programs is more than $21,000 annually per child.
The Longmont City Council was not asked to take a formal position concerning the proposed ballot measure during Tuesday’s meeting.
The Alliance still needs to collect a sufficient number of signatures from residents in order to make the November ballot.
Councilwoman Shiquita Yarbrough commended Eldred and the Early Childhood Alliance for their work and hoped that any ballot measure would keep teachers in mind too.
“Making sure that they have enough time to get that mental refresh as well all need to do,” Yarbrough said. “Taking care of other people’s kids is a hard job.” | https://www.dailycamera.com/2023/02/28/alliance-pitches-special-taxing-district-for-early-childhood-development-to-longmont-city-council/ | 2023-03-01 07:23:21 | 0 | https://www.dailycamera.com/2023/02/28/alliance-pitches-special-taxing-district-for-early-childhood-development-to-longmont-city-council/ |
2 dead after apparent electrocution near Peoria and 19th avenues
Two people died after they were "possibly electrocuted" Wednesday near Peoria and 19th Avenues in Phoenix, according to the Phoenix Fire Department.
It appears both people were electrocuted after coming in contact with ground electrical wires, said Capt. Evan Gammage, a spokesperson with the Phoenix Fire Department. It is unclear why the two were touching electrical wires.
When firefighters responded, they worked with Arizona Public Service to make sure power in the area was shut down so that they could respond safely.
Crews determined both people were dead, according to Gammage. Neither person has been identified.
Phoenix police were investigating the scene.

Worker dies after semi explodes at ammunition facility: ‘This is a tragedy’
EAST ALTON, Ill. (KMOV/Gray News) - A worker was killed Thursday in Illinois after the truck he was driving exploded.
KMOV reports that Oscar “Zeke” Bettorf, 60, died in an explosion at the Winchester Ammunition facility.
Officials said Bettorf was driving a tractor-trailer filled with shotgun shell primers that exploded while he was transporting the items at the ammunition facility.
Bettorf was pronounced dead at the scene. A preliminary autopsy indicated that the 60-year-old suffered trauma to his head, neck and chest.
The company said the incident involved a company vehicle and that it has opened an investigation into what happened.
“We are deeply saddened that a Winchester employee was fatally injured this afternoon in an incident involving a company vehicle at the company’s East Alton facility,” a company spokesperson shared in a statement.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with our employee’s family and co-workers. This is a tragedy, and we will conduct a full investigation to determine what happened,” the spokesperson added.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is also assisting with the investigation

Albert Pujols hits HR No. 697 to overtake A-Rod for career home runs as Cardinals beat Pirates
By Alasdair Howorth, CNN
Albert Pujols hit his 697th home run, moving him ahead of Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez on the all-time list, to power the St. Louis Cardinals past the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3.
The Dominican slugger’s two-run drive at the top of the ninth moved him to fourth on the list, and he’s now only behind legends Babe Ruth (714), Hank Aaron (755) and Barry Bonds (762) in all-time Major League Baseball home runs.
Pujols will now have his sights set on joining the illustrious 700 home run club, but he only has 21 games left to reach the milestone after announcing that this would be the final season in his storied career.
The two-time World Series champion is adamant that, if he doesn’t hit the 700 milestone, it will not affect his decision to finish his 22-year career at the end of the season.
In July, he told USA Today, “I’m still going to retire, no matter whether I end up hitting 693, 696, 700, whatever, I don’t get caught up in numbers. If you were going to tell me 22 years ago that I would be this close, I would have told you that you’re freakin’ crazy. My career has been amazing.”
Just a few months ago, hitting the 700-mark seemed unlikely; Pujols had a slow start to the regular season after re-joining the team he began his Major League Baseball career with.
The first baseman only managed two home runs in April and May and failed to register a single home run in June. But he has since picked up the pace, hitting 12 home runs since the All-Star break in July.
Pujols’ resurgence has seen the three-time National League MVP enjoy one of his best seasons in recent years. The 42-year-old is hitting .266/.338/.528 with 48 RBI in 91 games and has .866 OPS, form which he has not seen since his first stint in St. Louis.
As ever, Pujols is not one to be caught up in his own achievements. When the fans who caught his 9th-inning bomb tried to return the ball, he refused and instead gifted the couple two more signed balls.
“It’s just a baseball. They deserve to have it. It went out of the ballpark,” Pujols told MLB.com. “We play this game for the fans. So whether they want to give it back or they want to keep it, I don’t have any problem with that. I think it means for that girl more than me having it in my trophy case.”
The victory leaves Pujols’ Cardinals top of the NL Central with an 83-58 record, a month before the end of the regular season. The Cardinals travel to Milwaukee to face the second-place Brewers on Wednesday.

Judge sets a trial date for next May in Trump’s classified documents case in Florida
WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge in Florida has scheduled a trial date for next May for former President Donald Trump in a case charging him with illegally retaining hundreds of classified documents.
The May 20, 2024, trial date, set Friday by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, is a compromise between a request from prosecutors to set the trial for this December and a bid by defense lawyers to put it off indefinitely until sometime after the 2024 presidential election.
If the date holds, it would follow close on the heels of a separate New York trial for Trump on dozens of state charges of falsifying business records in connection with an alleged hush money payment to a porn actor. It also means the trial will not start until deep into the presidential nominating calendar and probably well after the Republican nominee is clear — though before that person is officially nominated at the Republican National Convention.
In pushing back the trial from the Dec. 11 start date that the Justice Department had asked for, Cannon wrote that “the Government’s proposed schedule is atypically accelerated and inconsistent with ensuring a fair trial.” She agreed with defense lawyers that the amount of evidence that would need to be sifted through before the trial, including classified information, was “voluminous.”
“The Court finds that the interests of justice served by this continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and Defendants in a speedy trial,” Cannon wrote.
Trump could yet face additional trials in the coming year. He revealed this week that he had received a letter informing him that he was a target of a separate Justice Department investigation into efforts to undo the results of the 2020 presidential election, an indication that charges could be coming soon. And prosecutors in Georgia plan to announce charging decisions within weeks in an investigation into attempts by Trump and his allies to subvert the vote in that state.
The trial before Cannon would take place in a federal courthouse in Fort Pierce.
It arises from a 38-count indictment last month, filed by Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith, that accused Trump of willfully hoarding classified documents, including top secret records, at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach and conspiring with his valet, Walt Nauta, to hide them from investigators who demanded them back.
Trump and Nauta have both pleaded not guilty.

Rebekah Malkemes died peacefully at home in Charlotte, N.C., Tuesday, July 5, 2022, two weeks shy of her 92nd birthday.
She was born at home in West Pittston to Rebekah Streng and Charles E. Nicholson, M.D., the youngest of three children, Barbara, known as Bobbie Fehr, and Charles Jr.
Her parents and siblings have all predeceased her, as has her brother-in-law, Quent Fehr.
Her children, Janet and Robert Malkemes, reside in the Charlotte area where Rebekah spent her last two and a half years. Other family members include Bob’s wife, Charity Kimmel; and stepson, Alex Wilson; Rebekah’s sister-in-law, Margaret Nicholson; niece, Marnie Nicholson; nephew, Charles Nicholson, M.D.; nephews and wives, Mike and Angie Fehr and Andy and Anne Fehr; with many other beloved cousins, relatives and friends.
Rebekah graduated from Wyoming Seminary, Vassar College and the University of Scranton. She taught mathematics at Wyoming Seminary from the mid-60s until the mid-80s, where her colleagues and students became good friends.
Rebekah was an active member of the Wyoming Valley community, serving on many boards, including the West Pittston Cemetery Board and as senior warden of Trinity Episcopal Church.
She loved being a lifelong resident of West Pittston, with breaks to study, raise her family and travel extensively.
She made close friends from Norway to France to Africa, Korea and Thailand. She participated as a student in the Experiment in International Living, spending a summer at a chateau in Bordeaux and bicycling through the Pyrenees.
Later she visited her daughter, Janet, wherever the latter was assigned as a U.S. foreign service officer, trekking with mountain gorillas in Rwanda, sailing the coast of Norway at midsummer and riding elephants in the forests of Thailand. Bitten by the travel bug, Rebekah took her son, Bob, to France after introducing him to Africa, explored Turkey, traveled throughout China and visited friends made on previous trips. No visit was complete without her taking many photos to add to her collection.
Rebekah will be buried in her family plot in West Pittston July 23. Her funeral will be held at 11 a.m. in Trinity Episcopal Church in West Pittston, followed by interment in West Pittston Cemetery.
Howell-Lussi Funeral Home is assisting the family.
There will also be a gathering to remember Rebekah the afternoon of July 30 at her home in Charlotte, N.C.
Memorials may be sent to Hospice and Palliative Care, Charlotte Region, whose staff took exemplary care of Rebekah during her last months, and to Wyoming Seminary, Kingston, where she spent many fulfilling years as student, parent and teacher. | https://www.citizensvoice.com/zz-dnp/rebekah-malkemes/article_4bc0ff25-ccc1-5e0c-af62-e479952acbfc.html | 2022-07-12 01:29:50 | 0 | https://www.citizensvoice.com/zz-dnp/rebekah-malkemes/article_4bc0ff25-ccc1-5e0c-af62-e479952acbfc.html |
Attorney General William Barr worried that President Donald Trump had "become detached from reality," Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming said Trump took advice from an apparently inebriated Rudy Giuliani, and Rep. Zoe Lofgren accused the former president of raising money off election lies.
Monday's hearing of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol unfolded largely through video. The committee is relying on taped testimony from Trump's circle and others to try to make a case that the former president conspired to overturn the election.
Here is a look at the hearing through the videos that were shown, among them of Barr and Trump's campaign manager Bill Stepien, who did not appear in-person because his wife went into labor.
Election Night at the White House
Once Fox News called Arizona for Joe Biden on election night, the mood at the White House became anxious, Trump advisers said. Arizona was a state key to Trump's hopes for a win. But Trump declared the election a victory against the advice of his top aides and after speaking with an apparently intoxicated Rudy Giuliani, Cheney and those aides said.
Robert Costello, an attorney for Giuliani, told NBC News: “Mayor Giuliani denies that he was intoxicated and denies that he was drinking at all, and he suggests that you talk to other people who were there.” Costello added that in Giuliani’s nearly eight hour interview with the committee, no one asked him any questions about this.
U.S. & World
'Detached From Reality'
If Trump believed that the election had been stolen, he was becoming "detached from reality," Barr said. The claims of fraud were "bull---," he said.
No Evidence of Fraud
Barr said repeatedly that there was no evidence of fraud. And Cheney said that hundreds of Americans had marched on the U.S. Capitol at Trump's request even though he had been told by his campaign's legal team and others that there were no voting irregularities sufficient to overturn the election. "They believed what Donald Trump said about the election," she said.
'Wild' Fraud Claims
Stepien recalled a claim that thousands of illegal votes had been cast in Arizona. In reality, he said, the votes had come from legitimate citizens who were overseas.
The Big 'Rip-off'
Donald Trump raised funds on what Lofgren called the "big ripoff." Trump misled supporters into believing that the election had been fraudulent and could be overturned, Lofgren said. The committee found evidence that the Trump campaign and surrogates misled donors about what the money would be used for, said Lofgren and a committee attorney. "Those donors deserve the truth about what those funds will be used for," Lofgren said. | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/detached-from-reality-top-video-from-the-second-hearing-of-the-jan-6-panel/3732466/ | 2022-06-13 22:35:20 | 0 | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/detached-from-reality-top-video-from-the-second-hearing-of-the-jan-6-panel/3732466/ |
The world’s first space tourist wants to go back — only this time, he’s signed up for a spin around the moon aboard Elon Musk’s Starship.
For Dennis Tito, 82, it’s a chance to relive the joy of his trip to the International Space Station, now that he’s retired with time on his hands. He isn’t interested in hopping on a 10-minute flight to the edge of space or repeating what he did 21 years ago. “Been there, done that.”
His weeklong moonshot — its date to be determined and years in the future — will bring him within 125 miles (200 kilometers) of the lunar far side. He’ll have company: his wife, Akiko, and 10 others willing to shell out big bucks for the ride.
Tito won’t say how much he’s paying; his Russian station flight cost $20 million.
The couple recognize there’s a lot of testing and development still ahead for Starship, a shiny, bullet-shaped behemoth that’s yet to even attempt to reach space.
“We have to keep healthy for as many years as it’s going to take for SpaceX to complete this vehicle,” Tito said in an interview this week with The Associated Press. “I might be sitting in a rocking chair, not doing any good exercise, if it wasn’t for this mission.”
Tito is actually the second billionaire to make a Starship reservation for a flight around the moon. Japanese fashion tycoon Yusaku Maezawa announced in 2018 he was buying an entire flight so he could take eight or so others with him, preferably artists. The two men both flew to the space station, from Kazakhstan atop Russian rockets, 20 years apart.
Tito kicked off space tourism in 2001, becoming the first person to pay his own way to space and antagonizing NASA in the process. The U.S. space agency didn’t want a sightseer hanging around while the station was being built. But the Russian Space Agency needed the cash and, with the help of U.S.-based Space Adventures, launched a string of wealthy clients to the station through the 2000s and, just a year ago, Maezawa.
Well-heeled customers are sampling briefer tastes of space with Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rocket company. Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic expects to take paying passengers next year.
Starship has yet to launch atop a Super Heavy booster from the southern tip of Texas, near the Mexican border. At 394 feet (120 meters) and 17 million pounds (7.7 million kilograms) of liftoff thrust, it’s the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built. NASA already has contracted for a Starship to land its astronauts on the moon in 2025 or so, in the first lunar touchdown since Apollo.
Tito said the couple’s contract with SpaceX, signed in August 2021 and announced Wednesday, includes an option for a flight within five years from now. Tito would be 87 by then and he wanted an out in case his health falters.
“But if I stayed in good health, I’d wait 10 years,” he said.
Tito’s wife, 57, said she needed no persuading. The Los Angeles residents are both pilots and understand the risks. They share Musk’s vision of a spacefaring future and believe a married couple flying together to the moon will inspire others to do the same.
Tito, who sold his investment company Wilshire Associates almost two years ago, said he doesn’t feel guilty splurging on spaceflight versus spending the money here on Earth.
“We’re retired and now it’s time to reap the rewards of all the hard work,” he said.
Tito expects he’ll also shatter preconceived notions about age, much as John Glenn’s space shuttle flight did in 1998. The first American to orbit the Earth still holds the record as the oldest person in orbit.
“He was only 77. He was just a young man,” Tito said. “I might end up being 10 years older than him,”

Protests in Kansas City — and outrage nationwide — mounted this weekend over the shooting of a Black teenager whose family says he accidentally came to the wrong address to pick up his younger siblings.
Ralph Yarl, a 16-year-old Black high school junior, survived the shooting on April 13. He was released from the hospital on Sunday and is now recovering at home with family, his father told the Kansas City Star.
Police have not released the name of the shooter, who was taken into custody shortly after the incident but released the next day.
In a statement Sunday night, civil rights attorneys Lee Merritt and Benjamin Crump, who are representing Yarl's family, demanded "swift action" to identify, arrest and prosecute the shooter.
"There can be no excuse for the release of this armed and dangerous suspect after admitting to shooting an unarmed, non-threatening and defenseless teenager that rang his doorbell," they said.
The circumstances of the shooting, paired alongside images of the 16-year-old student with his bass clarinet and younger siblings, sparked an emotional response in Kansas City and on social media. By Monday, even the vice president had weighed in.
"Let's be clear: No child should ever live in fear of being shot for ringing the wrong doorbell," Kamala Harris wrote on Twitter. "Every child deserves to be safe."
Police have released few details about the shooting
Shortly before 10 p.m. on Thursday, April 13, police were called to a residence in Clay County, Mo., in the northern part of Kansas City. They found that a teenager had been "shot in front of the residence by a homeowner," said Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves at a Sunday press conference.
The teenager was transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, authorities said. The homeowner was taken into custody. Investigators recovered a firearm from the scene.
According to Yarl's family, the teenager was planning to pick up his younger siblings from a friend's house. But he drove to the wrong address, his family says, confusing 115th Street for 115th Terrace.
"He parked in the driveway, went up to the door and rang the doorbell," his aunt Faith Spoonmore said in a video posted to social media. "The man inside opened up the door and shot him in the head through the glass door. When Raphael was on the ground, he shot him again." Those details were repeated Sunday by Lee Merritt, a civil rights lawyer representing Yarl's family.
Yarl was seriously injured but was able to run to a neighbor's house for help, his aunt said. He was hospitalized for three nights.
Citing the ongoing investigation, police refused to release details about the shooting, including how many times Yarl was shot or where he was injured. Police also declined to say whether the homeowner called 911.
Yarl's family and lawyers have said that the shooter is white. Graves said Sunday that the information police currently have does not suggest that the shooting was "racially motivated," though she acknowledged the presence of "racial components" at play in the case.
The shooter has not been charged yet with any crimes
The homeowner was released from custody Friday. Graves said he is "cooperating" with police and not considered a flight risk.
Missouri law requires that a suspect must be charged within 24 hours or else be released, police said Sunday.
In conjunction with local prosecutors, police decided to release the shooter "pending further investigation," Graves said — including the need to obtain a formal statement from the victim.
"A formal statement is planned and forthcoming as the teen's injuries allow," she said. "We recognize the frustration this can cause in the entire criminal justice process."
On Monday, Clay County Prosecutor Zachary Thompson said that his office had not yet received a referral from the police department.
"We are actively working with law enforcement in an attempt to speed up that process so that we can review the file when it is submitted and determine whether criminal charges are appropriate," Thompson said in a statement. "We ask the public to trust the system to achieve a just result."
Missouri is among the 38 states with a Stand Your Ground law, a criminal defense doctrine that allows people to use physical force if they "reasonably believe" they are under threat, with no duty to retreat. The state also has a "castle doctrine," which generally allows a resident to use deadly force against someone who unlawfully enters their home.
Yarl is a talented high school musician with college aspirations
On social media, family members posted photos and mementos of Yarl and his achievements: A recruitment letter from Yale's undergraduate admissions office; an invitation to participate in a 15-day performance tour of Europe with other Missouri student musicians; an honorable mention by the Missouri All-State Band for his bass clarinet ability.
Yarl's goal is to study chemical engineering at Texas A&M University and visit West Africa before starting college, his aunt wrote in a GoFundMe page. The fundraiser has already raised more than $1.6 million.
"Even though he is doing well physically, he has a long road ahead mentally and emotionally," she wrote. "The trauma that he has to endure and survive is unimaginable."
Over the weekend, Yarl's story spread widely on social media, including Instagram and TikTok. Several high-profile celebrities with large followings, including Halle Berry, Kerry Washington and Justin Timberlake, posted about the case and encouraged their followers to urge local authorities to arrest and prosecute the shooter.

UMPQUA, Ore. — The blueberry industry was well represented when an Oregon delegation of government and business officials recently visited South Korea and Japan.
Bryan Ostlund, executive director of the Oregon Blueberry Commission; Ellie Norris, a member of the commission and co-owner of Norris Blueberry Farms based in Umpqua; and representatives of Oregon Berry Packing, Willamette Valley Fruit Co. and AC Foods were members of the delegation that was led by Gov. Kate Brown in late October.
South Korea and Japan are two of Oregon’s largest trading partners.
The delegation included leaders from agriculture, tourism, higher education, apparel, technology and manufacturing. Representatives of each of those groups met with South Koreans and Japanese involved in those respective industries.
South Korea is the largest export market for fresh blueberries from the U.S., and by agreement, Oregon is the only state that ships berries to that country.
South Korea has been a market for Norris blueberries for several years since the agreement was approved in 2011. Japan has been an export market for all U.S. blueberry growers for the past 10 years.
“We went to the U.S. embassy in Seoul (South Korea) and talked to the Agricultural Trade Office about the importance of exporting fresh and frozen blueberries into Korea,” Norris said. “We met with representatives of the U.S. High Bush Council. Their job is to promote fresh and frozen blueberries in Korean markets, to highlight the qualities and health benefits of U.S. blueberries.
“South Korea is a very important market for us,” she added.
Paul Norris, Ellie’s father, was a member of the Oregon Blueberry Commission that worked for 11 years to write, clarify regulations and confirm the trade agreement in 2011 with South Korea. Paul Norris founded the family blueberry operation that ships berries across the U.S., to Canada and to Asian markets.
“It was enlightening to see how blueberries are perceived in other countries, how buying habits are so different compared to the U.S.,” Ellie Norris said. “For South Korea and Japan, fruit is somewhat of a luxury. It is often given as a gift. There’s a strong emphasis on it being beautiful and uniform in shape and size. In the U.S., we tend to buy fruit in bulk. In the Asian markets, the fruit has to look beautiful.”
Norris said the Asian counties pay a “premium price for premium fruit.”
“They want our fruit,” she explained. “They were very excited to meet blueberry growers from Oregon and to hear about our state.”
Norris said there are small blueberry farms in South Korea and Japan, but not enough to satisfy the consumer demand.
“For Oregon’s blueberry industry, there’s been a large focus on the export market for a number of years,” said Ostlund. “It’s very important for the industry to stay in contact with our trading partners. Traveling with the governor and the trade delegation helps open more doors. Meeting with leaders of some of the (South Korean and Japanese) companies is important.”
Norris and Ostlund explained that companies and consumers in those countries, like in the U.S., want more information on where their food comes from, who produces it and the production process.
“It’s challenging with the stringent export protocols that must be met to ship to those countries,” Ostlund said. “This trip allows us to reassure those companies that we are everything we say we are in our production process.”
Ostlund added it was important for the trip and the meetings to include farmers like Norris who are better able to explain field maintenance and harvest and the packing and shipping process than government or agency representatives.
Norris said it’s “a balancing act” to supply both the domestic and export markets. While blueberries are in demand across the U.S., Asian markets are growing, with Vietnam, Hong Kong and Taiwan also wanting Oregon and U.S. fruit.
Brown said discussions were also held on the potential expansion of Oregon blackberries and raspberries being exported to the Asian markets.
The state Department of Agriculture and the Oregon Blueberry Commission are planning to welcome a South Korean delegation next summer. Norris said her family farm “would love to welcome a visit by the Koreans.”

LONDON (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pressed the British government at the end of a whirlwind European tour Monday to join a “fighter jet coalition” that would help strengthen his country’s aerial capabilities, but instead secured a commitment for attack drones and hundreds more missiles.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak greeted Zelenskyy with a handshake and hug after the president’s helicopter landed at Chequers, the British leader’s official country retreat. It was Zelenskyy’s second trip to the U.K. since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, but the fifth European country he visited in three days..
He is seeking more military aid as Ukraine prepares a long-anticipated spring offensive to retake Russian-occupied territory. The Ukrainian leader also visited Italy, the Vatican, Germany and France.
Russia reacted to the U.K.’s new pledge “extremely negatively,” but also doubts the missiles and drones would drastically change the course of the war, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday.
“Britain aspires to be at the forefront among countries that continue to pump weapons into Ukraine,” Peskov said. “We repeat once again: It cannot yield any drastic and fundamental influence on the way the special military operation (in Ukraine) is unfolding. But, definitely, it leads to further destruction. … It makes this whole story for Ukraine much more complicated.”
Zelenskyy said one of the missions of his European travels that started Saturday was to build a “fighter jet coalition” to provide Ukraine with vital military power in the air. He said more work was needed on that front.
While the U.K. will not provide the planes, the prime minister said the country would join the coalition and begin a previously announced training program for Ukrainian fighter pilots as soon as this summer.
The U.K., one of Ukraine’s major military allies, has provided short-range missiles, Challenger tanks and training 15,000 Ukrainian troops on British soil. Last week, the government announced it had sent Ukraine Storm Shadow cruise missiles, which have a range of more than 250 kilometers (150 miles). The British missiles were the first known shipment of longer-range weaponry that Kyiv has long sought from its allies.
Sunak’s office said it was giving Ukraine hundreds more air defense missiles, as well as “long-range attack drones” with a reach of more than 200 kilometers (120 miles).
“This is a crucial moment in Ukraine’s resistance to a terrible war of aggression they did not choose or provoke,” Sunak said. “They need the sustained support of the international community to defend against the barrage of unrelenting and indiscriminate attacks that have been their daily reality for over a year.
“We must not let them down,” the prime minister added.
Sunak plans to push allies at a meeting of Group of Seven leaders in Japan later this week to deliver more support to Ukraine, Downing Street said.
As Zelenskyy visited European capitals, Russia stepped up attacks across Ukraine with drones and missiles. Russia shelled two communities Sunday in the northern border province of Sumy, regional officials said on Telegram. They said 109 explosions were recorded.
Zelenskyy’s office said Monday that Russian attacks had killed nine civilians and injured 19 in the past day. Six of the deaths were in southern Ukraine’s Kherson province. Two civilians were killed in Chuhuiv in Kharkiv province, and one in Prymorsk, on the Azov Sea coast about 12 miles (20 kilometers) from Russian-occupied Berdyansk.
The presidential office also reported that Marhanets, which lies across the river from the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, was shelled.
Russian state news agency RIA-Novosti reported that an acting regional interior minister appointed by Moscow, Igor Kornet, was injured in an explosion at a barbershop in the Russian-occupied city of Luhansk. The leader of the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic, a separatist-held region of Ukraine that Moscow illegally annexed, was quoted as saying a bomb caused the explosion.
Assassination attempts and sabotage attacks have increased in Russian-occupied territory as well as Russia proper. Russian authorities often blame Ukrainian forces, but Kyiv rarely acknowledges such attacks.
Zelenskyy traveled to Britain from Paris, where he met Sunday with French President Emmanuel Macron and secured a pledge of light tanks, armored vehicles and air defense systems.
About 2,000 Ukrainian soldiers would receive training in France this year and nearly 4,000 others in Poland, Macron’s office said.
Speaking Monday on French television network TF1, Macron said training on French fighter jets such as the Mirage 2000 “can start now” but rejected the idea of France delivering warplanes to Ukraine.
Zelenskyy also met with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Sunday. It was his first visit to Berlin since the start of the invasion and came a day after the German government announced military aid for Ukraine worth more than 2.7 billion euros ($3 billion).
Modern Western hardware is considered crucial if Ukraine is to succeed in its planned counteroffensive. During his European trip, Zelenskyy said Ukraine would aim to liberate Russian-occupied areas within Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders and would not attack Russian territory.
Among areas Russia still occupies are the Crimean Peninsula and parts of eastern Ukraine with mainly Russian-speaking populations.

FDA change ushers in cheaper, easier-to-get hearing aids
It's now a lot easier — and cheaper — for many hard-of-hearing Americans to get help.
Hearing aids can now be sold without a prescription from a specialist. Over-the-counter, or OTC, hearing aids started hitting the market in October at prices that can be thousands of dollars lower than prescription hearing aids.
About 30 million people in the United States deal with hearing loss, according to the Food and Drug Administration. But only about 20% of those who could use a hearing aid seek help.
Here’s a closer look:
WHO MIGHT BE HELPED
The FDA approved OTC hearing aids for adults with mild-to-moderate hearing loss. That can include people who have trouble hearing phone calls or who turn up the TV volume loud enough that others complain.
It also can include people who have trouble understanding group conversations in noisy places.
OTC hearing aids aren't intended for people with deeper hearing loss, which may include those who have trouble hearing louder noises, like power tools and cars. They also aren't for people who lost their hearing suddenly or in just one ear, according to Sterling Sheffield, an audiologist who teaches at the University of Florida. Those people need to see a doctor.
HEARING TEST
Before over-the-counter, you usually needed to get your hearing tested and buy hearing aids from a specialist. That's no longer the case.
But it can be hard for people to gauge their own hearing. You can still opt to see a specialist just for that test, which is often covered by insurance, and then buy the aids on your own. Check your coverage before making an appointment.
There also are a number of apps and questionnaires available to determine whether you need help. Some over-the-counter sellers also provide a hearing assessment or online test.
WHO’S SELLING
Several major retailers now offer OTC hearing aids online and on store shelves.
Walgreens drugstores, for example, are selling Lexie Lumen hearing aids nationwide for $799. Walmart offers OTC hearing aids ranging from about $200 to $1,000 per pair. Its health centers will provide hearing tests.
The consumer electronics chain Best Buy has OTC hearing aids available online and in nearly 300 stores. The company also offers an online hearing assessment, and store employees are trained on the stages of hearing loss and how to fit the devices.
Overall, there are more than a dozen manufacturers making different models of OTC hearing aids.
New devices will make up most of the OTC market as it develops, Sheffield said. Some may be hearing aids that previously required a prescription, ones that are only suitable for people with mild to moderate hearing loss.
Shoppers should expect a lot of devices to enter and leave the market, said Catherine Palmer, a hearing expert at the University of Pittsburgh.
“It will be quite a while before this settles down,” she said.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR
Look for an OTC label on the box. Hearing aids approved by the FDA for sale without a prescription are required to be labeled OTC.
That will help you distinguish OTC hearing aids from cheaper devices sometimes labeled sound or hearing amplifiers — called a personal sound amplification product or PSAP. While often marketed to seniors, they are designed to make sounds louder for people with normal hearing in certain environments, like hunting. And amplifiers don't undergo FDA review.
“People really need to read the descriptions,” said Barbara Kelley, executive director of the Hearing Loss Association of America.
And check the return policy. That's important because people generally need a few weeks to get used to them, and make sure they work in the situations where they need them most. That may include on the phone or in noisy offices or restaurants.
Does the company selling OTC devices offer instructions or an app to assist with setup, fit and sound adjustments? A specialist could help too, but expect to pay for that office visit, which is rarely covered by insurance.
Sheffield said hearing aids are not complicated, but wearing them also is not as simple as putting on a pair of reading glasses.
“If you’ve never tried or worn hearing aids, then you might need a little bit of help,” he said.
THE COST
Most OTC hearing aids will cost between $500 and $1,500 for a pair, Sheffield said. He noted that some may run up to $3,000.
And it's not a one-time expense. They may have to be replaced every five years or so.
Hearing specialists say OTC prices could fall further as the market matures. But they already are generally cheaper than their prescription counterparts, which can run more than $5,000.
The bad news is insurance coverage of hearing aids is spotty. Some Medicare Advantage plans offer coverage of devices that need a prescription, but regular Medicare does not. There are discounts out there, including some offered by Medicare Advantage insurer UnitedHealthcare in partnership with AARP.
Shoppers also can pay for the devices with money set aside in health savings accounts or flexible spending accounts.
Don’t try to save money by buying just one hearing aid. People need to have the same level of hearing in both ears so they can figure out where a sound is coming from, according to the American Academy of Audiology.

McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — Officials with the U.S. International Boundary and Water Commission were in Zapata County, Texas, on Monday, to review the dwindling levels at Falcon Lake and to decide when dredging of the Rio Grande could begin to help locals access more drinking water, Border Report has learned.
Zapata County Judge Joe Rathmell told Border Report that IBWC officials were scheduled to visit the area on Monday and would be “viewing sites and deciding course of action” as water levels for South Texas residents who rely on the Rio Grande for their water source remain dangerously low.
U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, a Democrat who represents this region, said he has been negotiating with IBWC officials and asking them to approve the dredging of the international river.
A 30-foot-deep mass of mud and silt had built up where the river flows into Falcon Lake. The water on top is only 1 foot deep, and about 3 inches of water are lost every day due to triple-digit temperatures and an ongoing drought, Rathmell told Border Report.
During a July 28 tour of the area, Rathmell showed how county water pumps have been unable to siphon water from the top of the lake due to the silt and mud. And he said he is worried his community will run out of drinking water “any day.”
The water level at Falcon Lake on Monday afternoon was 253.18 feet, well below the flood-stage of 301 feet, according to the National Weather Service.
Cuellar has been working with the head of IBWC to secure what’s called a 404 permit to allow dredging of the lake.
“I have been working urgently with International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) Commissioner Maria-Elena Giner to bring equipment to Falcon Lake from Arizona to begin the dredging of Falcon Lake as soon as possible. This is necessary to remove excess sediment at the bottom of the lake and create more water capacity,” Cuellar said in a statement.
According to an IBWC document relating to a previous dredging of a border river near El Paso, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is the agency that actually issues the 404 dredging permit that is “required for excavation in, or discharge of fill material into waters of the United States, including wetlands.” But the IBWC is the “lead agency” and must sign a “record of decision” for projects relating to these waterways.
Cuellar said he has secured the necessary dredging equipment and he hopes to have the equipment in place in Zapata County by Tuesday or Wednesday.
If permits are approved, he said, “the dredging process will begin immediately.”
The Rio Grande is the sole source of water for Zapata County’s 15,000 residents. The rural ranching community on the banks of the Rio Grande is about 95 miles west of McAllen and 50 miles southeast of the border city of Laredo, Texas. | https://www.texomashomepage.com/border-report/dredging-of-rio-grande-could-start-this-week-at-south-texas-falcon-lake/ | 2022-08-08 23:49:13 | 1 | https://www.texomashomepage.com/border-report/dredging-of-rio-grande-could-start-this-week-at-south-texas-falcon-lake/ |

DefenAge Celebrates With HUGE Black Friday Discounts
CARLSBAD, Calif., Nov. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- DefenAge® Skincare, manufacturer and distributor of revolutionary, evidence-based, anti-aging products, announces the new Defensin Master Anti-Aging Patent issued by the US Patent Office (Patent #11,491,096).
Seven years in the making, the new patent recognizes DefenAge's ground-breaking cell stimulating compositions and methods to create fresh, new skin. This distinguished patent concludes the international family of DefenAge's patents for the use of Defensin-molecules to reverse signs of skin aging on a global scale - including a decrease in visible fine and coarse wrinkles, pore size, and pigmentation.
The patent supports that Defensin technology is extremely effective in fighting almost any signs of skin aging and is an outstanding solution as an aging prevention treatment in both men and women. At the heart of the patented technology is the unique ability of Defensin-molecules to trigger the most powerful regenerative response in the body through activating dormant, "preserved" young skin master cells to generate new, young skin.
Renowned dermatologist, Natalie M. Curcio, MD, MPH, MMHC (Nashville, TN) details, "Defensins are unique natural molecules that trigger a regenerative response in the skin, similar to the one our body generates during wound healing. Every time a scratch or wound on the skin heals, the skin in the healed (closed) wound area is always younger than the skin around it. This is because our body activates "preserved" young cells to heal wounds. In other words, the body creates new, young skin to repair wounds. Defensins activate the same mechanism in our body, meaning that every time defensins are applied to the skin, they activate the body to produce new and young skin without a wound."
Defensins activate dormant preserves of "fresh" cells in the body, LGR6-positive skin master cells. After activating, LGR6-positive cells physically migrate into the basal layer of the skin and create a new epidermis, and eventually, new, younger-acting skin, delivering all the advantages of retinols without irritation, inflammation, or sun-sensitivity.
Celebrity dermatologist, Dr. Suneel Chilukuri (Houston, TX) weighs in on the clinical proof, stating, "DefenAge is one of the most rigorously tested and proven modern cosmeceutical products you can find. DefenAge's products and their Defensins were tested in 19 clinical studies, including the ones published in the top peer-review magazines, the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology and Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology. The studies show that any part of the skin is able to respond to Defensins, with improvement in a variety of skin qualities addressing almost all aspects of visible skin aging, including the face, skin around the eyes, and body. Even the scalp and skin under the hair improves and normalizes hair growth metrics."
The quality and wide range of results are also appreciated by consumers. A 2022 consumer survey with more than 850 responses from verified buyers indicated that 94 percent of respondents said that they were satisfied with results they see with DefenAge, 97 percent said that they will purchase DefenAge again, and 91 percent detailed that DefenAge plays key role in their skincare routine.
To give everyone an opportunity to experience the power of Defensins, DefenAge launched a huge sale on Black Friday: BOGO 65 percent OFF together with offering multiple free trial-size products and an additional 25% discount on all products when customers join the DefenAge Skin Club Rewards program. Visit www.defenage.com to take advantage of these deep discounts (valid November 25- 28th).
A portion of the proceeds from DefenAge's Black Friday sale will go towards a donation to the Monarch School of San Diego to enrich the lives of helping unhoused and at-risk students from kindergarten through 12th grade to receive the stability and security they need to learn and thrive.
DefenAge is an American company founded in 2014 by a team of regenerative medicine experts whose anti-aging discovery became the heart and soul of its formulas. DefenAge's products are widely recommended by dermatologists as a high-performing, anti-aging cosmetic skincare for visible skin rejuvenation and as a safe alternative for retinol. DefenAge complies with or exceeds the Clean Beauty standards and its products have never been tested on animals. Honesty, transparency, and excelling in every way possible are the company's standards. DefenAge demonstrates an industry-leading consumer repurchase rate.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey has filed a federal lawsuit aimed at stopping New York’s plan to charge big tolls to drive into the most visited parts of Manhattan, arguing that New Jersey residents and towns will bear the brunt without benefiting.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy announced his state’s plans on Friday. The lawsuit against the Federal Highway Administration claims the agency’s approval of the plan last month was “misguided” and violates the National Environmental Policy Act. New Jersey also wants a more comprehensive environmental study conducted for the plan.
New York officials have said the first-in-the-nation plan is part of an effort to reduce traffic, to improve air quality and to raise funds for the city’s public transit system. Murphy, though, said commuters headed in to the city will instead find different ways to avoid paying higher tolls, resulting in more traffic and more pollution.
“(The FHA) finding that the MTA congestion pricing program will not have any significant impacts is an error,” Murphy, said. The Democratic governor also called the tolls “anti-environmental, anti-commuter, and anti-business.”
The federal Department of Transportation declined to comment on the lawsuit, but the MTA called it “baseless.”
John J. McCarthy, the MTA’s external relations chief, said the 4,000-page Environmental Assessment performed by the MTA, New York State DOT and New York City DOT “was supervised at every stage and specifically approved by the Biden administration.” The MTA statement also said the review covered “every conceivable potential traffic, air quality, social and economic effect,” and responded to more than 80,000 comments and submissions.
People headed into Manhattan already pay big tolls to use many of the bridges and tunnels connecting commuters across the Hudson, East and Harlem Rivers. The special tolls for the southern half of Manhattan would come on top of those existing charges. Taxi and car service drivers have objected to the plan, saying it would make fares unaffordable.
The new tolls are expected to generate another $1 billion yearly, which would be used to finance upgrading the subway, bus and commuter rail systems operated by the MTA.
The state Legislature approved a conceptual plan for congestion pricing back in 2019, but the coronavirus pandemic combined with a lack of guidance from federal regulators stalled the project. | https://www.qcnews.com/news/ap-top-headlines/ap-new-jersey-sues-federal-highway-officials-in-bid-to-stop-new-york-citys-plan-to-charge-big-tolls/ | 2023-07-22 10:51:51 | 1 | https://www.qcnews.com/news/ap-top-headlines/ap-new-jersey-sues-federal-highway-officials-in-bid-to-stop-new-york-citys-plan-to-charge-big-tolls/ |
“Artmaking doesn’t take place in a vacuum,” photographer Dawoud Bey emphasized during a recent chat about “Dawoud Bey & Carrie Mae Weems: In Dialogue,” the current exhibition running at the Seattle Art Museum through Jan. 22, 2023. The exhibition, which Bey called an outgrowth and visualization of the conversations the two friends have had since meeting in a photography class in 1976, features over 140 works from the two artists.
“Dawoud Bey and Carrie Mae Weems are two formidable photographers,” said Catharina Manchanda, SAM’s curator of modern and contemporary art, during a recent walk-through of the exhibition. In fact, she added, they might be among the “most important photographers working today.”
Over the decades, these two artists have become known for their explorations of Black life in America, melding history with the present through intimate portraits, thoughtful landscapes and carefully crafted visual storytelling. Bey called their friendship a kind of “inspiration of ambition,” where the two photographers inspired each other to push the boundaries of their medium as they’ve watched photography evolve over the decades. The exhibition then acts as a sort of timeline of their growth and development over the years, moving from early documentary-style photographs capturing daily life for Black Americans to works that reflect on key historical moments.
“We came of age in the ’60s, so there’s a certain kind of radical impulse that’s at the root of our work,” Bey said. “This notion that our work is a platform to which we speak, but also to which we allow others to speak through our work has been central to our ongoing conversations. That it’s not just about us.”
The exhibition is broken into sections, with each artist given space that showcases a particular moment or series in their career, allowing you to track both their individual development as artists and how their work winds up reflecting their mutual curiosity and interests. As I walked through the exhibition earlier this month, I took note of a few of the most striking elements and themes that have stuck with me.
Capturing life
Immediately upon entering the exhibition, which begins with early work from both photographers, I was grabbed by how both artists effortlessly captured Black life. Especially with some of Weems’ early photographs, it almost felt like they were candid moments borrowed from family photo albums. But as you continue through the side that has Weems’ work, you see the composition evolve to works like “Meg and Coco,” which could be a still pulled from a documentary film, telling the story of a woman and child leaving something unknown behind.
Meanwhile, Bey’s documentary-style photographs take a different developmental path, growing from candid shots to more posed portraits like “A Young Girl Striking a Pose” that pull you in and make you curious about the lives from which these people paused to be photographed.
Absence
It’s a small thing, but both of these photographers are so known for their ability to capture life that what hit me, especially in their early work, was when there was an absence of people in one of their photographs. In works like Bey’s “On the Way to El Yunque, Puerto Rico” and “Four Shirts, Ponce, Puerto Rico,” no actual people are featured. But, perhaps because they’re surrounded by his other more populated works, you can still feel the life in them. In “On the Way to El Yunque” especially, Bey almost begs you to ask what happened. In a way that differs from his later landscapes, it asks you to wonder what happened in and to this building and the people who have vacated it.
Portraits
Easily the most powerful aspect of Bey’s work throughout the exhibition is his portraits. While his streetside portraits seem to invite you to take in the whole of the person presented, works like “Taneesha,” a series of three close-up photographs, seem to ask you to take in bits and pieces to create the whole in your head. The photos show a touch of the hair or a downward look, as if capturing the person not as a single posed moment, but as a series of quick glances.
And then that is contrasted strongly with “The Birmingham Project,” in which Bey memorializes the deaths of four young Black girls during a bombing in 1963 at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Alabama and two additional Black children who died during the subsequent aftermath. In the series, Bey enlists current Birmingham residents who are the same age as those murdered in ’63 and pairs them with adults 50 years older to pose for stoic portraits. It’s a staggering way to examine life, loss and the pain of that historical moment.
Text and storytelling
As Bey’s career pressed against the potential of portraiture, Weems played more with the potential of text and narratives. In her “Sea Island Series,” Weems carefully pairs landscapes of the coastal Sea Islands off Georgia and the Carolinas with text evoking the Gullah culture that developed there. And then with “The Kitchen Table Series,” Weems tells an actual story, with text woven throughout her series of images.
“He wanted children. She didn’t. At the height of their love a child was born,” reads part of the story in the series. As you take in the story, the photos seem to shift and change. A look may take on more of a glint of resentment, or you may notice the distance between a man and woman more. Each photo is so carefully posed, there’s no mistaking it for something candid like some of her earlier work. Every shot is crafted around a kitchen table, which becomes a setting for a drama and Weems’ exploration of one Black woman’s life.
Conversing with history
For last, I saved perhaps my favorite part of the exhibition, and the part that Bey said, if pressed to choose just one, continues to draw him in: “Night Coming Tenderly, Black.” In this series, Bey photographed sites in Ohio that are thought to be on the Underground Railroad. These photos feel almost darker than the rest of the exhibition. That’s partly because rather than a color range that goes from black to white, they only ever seem to manage a brightness of a dark gray. But the other part is that for many of the photos, you feel as if he’s tucked away behind a tree or hidden, looking at a potential safe house, waiting for the right moment to move. Even a photo of Lake Erie’s choppy water takes on an ominous hue.
What really makes the section complete is its pairing with Weems, who presents a quartet of crimson-tinted photos from her series “From Here I Saw What Happened and I Cried.” The moving series calls out the role photography has played in the past to dehumanize African Americans. These combinations of work offer a breathtaking encapsulation of what Bey and Weems have done in their careers: give voice to those forced to be voiceless. | https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/visual-arts/what-to-see-in-seattle-art-museums-dawoud-bey-carrie-mae-weems-photo-exhibit/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | 2022-11-23 14:29:28 | 1 | https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/visual-arts/what-to-see-in-seattle-art-museums-dawoud-bey-carrie-mae-weems-photo-exhibit/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all |
Iconic rotisserie kitchen presents the Future of Nuggets to all locations
GOLDEN, Colo., July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Boston Market is changing how you eat rotisserie chicken and nuggets. The future of nuggets is here and thanks to Boston Market, they're roasted, not fried. Today, the beloved family brand proudly announces the launch of its one and only, Rotisserie Chicken Nuggets, a healthier grab-and-go meal option that currently does not exist in the market and is packed with big flavor. The nugget innovation will be available at all 315 restaurants nationwide and can be ordered in either signature or spicy flavors.
Boston Market's Rotisserie Chicken Nuggets are prepared with 100-percent all-white meat, taken from the best part of the chicken, and portioned into bite-size pieces. No two are alike. The nuggets are marinated with Boston Market's renowned rotisserie chicken seasoning or spicy seasoning, depending on your tastebuds, to lock in flavor and make each bite as juicy as possible.
The all-white-meat pieces are made-to-order and roasted in our rotisserie oven, receiving the same treatment our customer-favorite chickens get thanks to a proprietary basket cooking method created by Boston Market. The basket allows the rotisserie oven heat to gently roast each and every nugget as it rotates, similar to what the rotisserie chickens do at our restaurant.
"The Rotisserie Chicken Nuggets will set the new standard for nuggets," said President and Chief Rotisserie Expert for Boston Market, Jay Pandya. "They are bigger than our competitors, healthier than fried alternatives, and packed with flavor—there is no other true rotisserie option on the market."
Boston Market brought this new innovative item to its menu to fill a void customers were searching for. Rotisserie Chicken Nuggets will cater to a new generation of consumers who are on the move and craving a product they can eat on the go.
"Our chefs worked hard to perfect a new type of nugget for consumers that is fresher and healthier, without the heavy breading or grease. These nuggets are our first hand-held option meal, so there's no need for a knife and fork and guests can enjoy our signature rotisserie chicken on the go," concluded Pandya.
Because the nuggets aren't fried like those sold by competitors, customers can expect a "guilt-free" meal. Boston Market-made nuggets are more convenient than ever in a hand-held meal option, served in a specially designed nugget cup. Guests can head to their nearest Boston Market and try the newest innovation in nuggets in a variety of combination meals including:
- A small combo meal, including eight rotisserie chicken nuggets, one regular side, a fountain drink and a Boston Market dipping sauce, starting at $8.29
- A large combo meal, including 12 rotisserie chicken nuggets, one regular side, one fountain drink, and two Boston Market dipping sauces, starting at $10.39
- A la carte in Small (five nuggets and one dipping sauce, starting at $3.30), Medium (eight nuggets and one dipping sauce, starting at $5.20) or Large (12 nuggets and two dipping sauces, starting at $7.65)
- A Kid's Meal, including five nuggets, one small side, one dipping sauce, one kid's drink, and one cornbread, starting at $5.49
- A catering platter, including 80 nuggets and 10 dipping sauces, starting at $59.99
All meals including a la carte options can be ordered in either the signature or spicy style.
The new nuggets can be served in-restaurant or drive-thru and can be ordered for takeout, delivery and contactless curbside pickup by visiting the Boston Market website or placing an order on the Boston Market app. For additional information, newest menu offerings, brand news or to find the nearest Boston Market location, please visit bostonmarket.com.

LANSING, Mich. (WJRT) - All 700,000 Michigan households who receive SNAP food assistance will get an additional payment again in November.
This additional assistance is designed to help make groceries more affordable for 1.3 million people as food prices increase. Eligible recipients will see the additional food assistance on their Bridge Cards by Nov. 21.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said the additional benefits will help families afford food during the holiday season.
“This extra $95 will help families get a little breathing room as we enter the holiday season,” she said. “I will continue to work with anyone at the federal and state level to help Michiganders put food on the table and keep their hard-earned dollars to pay for other critical household expenses.”
SNAP recipients already received higher benefit amounts this fall after the U.S. Department of Agriculture increased food assistance payments by 12.5% in October to account for high inflation.
The inflation increase is based on an annual increase in the USDA's Thrifty Food Plan calculated in June. The 12.5% increase was the highest since 1975.
The hike for inflation increases benefits for a single person by $31 per month to $281 and by $124 per month for a family of five to $1,116.
About 1.3 million people from about 700,000 households in Michigan receive federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits through the state’s Food Assistance Program.
All households will continue receiving the maximum benefits allowed for their size in November and households already receiving the maximum will receive an increase of at least $95 per month.
Michigan has been paying maximum SNAP benefits to all eligible households since April 2020, soon after the coronavirus pandemic began. Benefit amounts for all households increased in May 2021.
Federal approval of the increased SNAP benefits is necessary every month. Funding for the additional benefits was included in the federal Families First Coronavirus Response Act.
Recipients do not need to apply or make any changes to receive the additional SNAP benefits payment on their Bridge Cards this month. Those who receive food assistance can check their Michigan Bridge Card benefits balance online. | https://www.abc12.com/news/state/michigan-continues-extra-snap-benefits-for-1-3-million-people-in-november-2022/article_ffedf560-64f9-11ed-8130-0be37523c5ae.html | 2022-11-15 17:00:39 | 1 | https://www.abc12.com/news/state/michigan-continues-extra-snap-benefits-for-1-3-million-people-in-november-2022/article_ffedf560-64f9-11ed-8130-0be37523c5ae.html |
Just like the rest of us, Samuel Arnold tried to avoid White Lotus spoilers.
But the Emily in Paris star couldn't avoid them for long—not with co-star Bruno Goeury taking on the role of one of the gay men attempting to swindle Tanya (Jennifer Coolidge), ultimately dying at her hands in a nautical killing spree. However, it wasn't Goeury himself that spilled the ending.
"He said nothing about the storyline—he didn't spoil anything," Arnold, who plays Julien, a snarky coworker to Emily (Lily Collins) in the Netflix series, exclusively told E! News Dec. 14. "But Ashley Park came to my room earlier and told me the ending, thinking that I saw it. So I'm a bit upset about that."
While Park couldn't remain close-lipped, Arnold explained that Goeury himself didn't let anything slip while they were filming Emily in Paris' third season—except what big fans his new costars were.
"People were just loving that he was doing Emily in Paris and that he was on the set of The White Lotus," the Paris native shared. "It was great to have an Emily in Paris flag wielder on another set, you know? They're all fans. It just makes us so proud—one of our own."
So, what was Arnold's reaction after Park spoiled the ending? Pure joy, of course.
"I'm here for that!" he said. "I can't wait to see him die onscreen. That would be so fun. But I wish that I could have discovered it myself."
Emily in Paris season three premieres Dec. 21 on Netflix. | https://www.eonline.com/news/1358459/how-lessigreateremily-in-parislessigreater-samuel-arnold-learned-about-his-co-star-s-fate-on-lessigreaterthe-white-lotuslessigreater?cmpid=rss-syndicate-genericrss-us-top_stories | 2022-12-15 20:59:30 | 1 | https://www.eonline.com/news/1358459/how-lessigreateremily-in-parislessigreater-samuel-arnold-learned-about-his-co-star-s-fate-on-lessigreaterthe-white-lotuslessigreater?cmpid=rss-syndicate-genericrss-us-top_stories |
TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Jan. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Florida Sun Estates, a mobile home park owned and operated by Derek Vickers of Vicktory Real Estate Group in Tallahassee, Florida, has undergone numerous improvements that now leaves the mobile home park in a much safer condition than before.
Improvements to Florida Sun Estate in Tallahassee, Florida took several months to complete and a sizeable investment from the management team and the improvements that were made have the residents of Florida Sun Estates knowing their living conditions are a priority. With the newly paved roads, removal of condemned mobile homes that were left from the previous ownership and added security with a fence and safety lighting throughout that park, the property values of the Florida Sun Estates homes and the safety of the residents has been vastly improved. Local law enforcement has praised Derek Vickers and Vicktory Real Estate in the past on their improvements to reduce criminal activity and provide security to residents, so the improvements made to Florida Sun Estates have the VRG leadership team confident that the will create the same results.
About Derek Vickers and Vicktory Real Estate Group:
VRG owns and operates just under 2000 lots and growing in the Southeastern United states. Our focus is in and around major MSAs. We believe that we can achieve long-term growth in these high growth areas. Also, these areas are where the most affordable housing problems lie and therefore, we can affect that on a larger scale. Since our inception we have brought online 600 plus affordable housing units that would have been demolished.
We stand for equal and affordable housing for all. We know there is an affordable housing crisis in America. Our goal is to assist in adding more affordable housing in areas and bringing up properties that have been neglected for years and bringing them back to life. The average apartment rent in America has skyrocketed over the years and especially since 2020. It is difficult for Real Estate Developers to make sense of developing affordable housing and therefore all you see being built is new Class A multifamily with 2000-3000 rents. This is a great thing, but it also leaves families in lower income brackets struggling to find places to live. VRG wants to help solve this problem.

Mother recalls rescuing 2 sons from Uvalde school shooting
UVALDE, Texas (KABB/WOAI) - One Uvalde mother took matters into her own hands during the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School when she heard shots while outside the building.
Angeli Rose Gomez, the mother of two boys, says she quickly rushed to her sons’ school after hearing there was an active shooter May 24. Moments after walking up to the school, face-to-face with law enforcement, she heard gunshots, then children screaming inside.
Law enforcement was not doing what Gomez hoped, and as she tried to get them to act, she was eventually handcuffed.
Still, without a doubt in her mind, Gomez knew she would have to save her children herself. As soon as she was released from the cuffs, she jumped a fence and began banging on a nearby door, where her older son’s teacher saw her.
“You already have a gateway out, just might as well come out. If I’m going to run out with him, y’all just come on, too,” Gomez said.
Gomez safely got her older son and some of his classmates out then went back for her younger son, running around the school and desperately searching for his classroom.
Law enforcement approached her, telling her to calm down, and she demanded they start evacuating the classroom. When they did, her younger son ran out.
At their reunion, Gomez remembers the two boys hugged each other.
“One hugged the other one and said, ‘I’m so glad you’re OK.’ The other one said, ‘I was so worried that you weren’t,’” their mother said. “So, it was a big thing because in that moment, I was like, ‘They’re really happy to see each other. Thank God that… they’re alive.’”
Since that harrowing day, Gomez claims she’s been faced with scrutiny from law enforcement, even at her own home.
“The other night, we were exercising, and we had a cop parked at the corner, flickering us with his headlights,” she said.
Due to incidents like this, Gomez says she is currently separated from her boys.
“Just so my sons don’t feel like they have to watch cops passing by, stopping, parking,” she said.
Gomez has been protesting along with other community members in Uvalde’s town square, asking for Uvalde School Police Chief Pete Arredondo to be fired.
Her goal now is to file a lawsuit.

Speakers from seven countries share insights on semiconductors, net zero emissions, sports tech, opening up important opportunities for international cooperation
TAIPEI, Oct. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/-- Although home to many leading OEMs for decades, Taiwan still has a long way to go in terms of creating a community of startups driven by innovation and entrepreneurship. The challenges faced by industry stalwarts alongside the significant attention and strong support being provided by the government and research institutes to new firms has led to the emergence and accelerated development of a robust startup ecosystem on the island.
In addition to actively supporting technical teams in Taiwan that are seeking to establish a presence outside of the home market, 2022 Taiwan Innotech Expo (TIE) FutureTech recognized innovative teams from around the world through the TIE Awards. The winning teams came to Taipei where they showcased their technologies. Those with high commercial application potential for semiconductors will be able to meet with likeminded Taiwanese counterparts and engage in technical exchanges.
Besides the TIE Awards, six forums exploring key international trends and technology releases drew the attention of visitors.
With a focus on semiconductors, net zero emissions and sports tech, the forum invited nine speakers from seven countries, including Qualcomm engineering SVP Michael Campbell, Chain Reaction (Israel) co-founder and CEO Alon Webman, US SiFive SVP of Business Development, Customer Experience (CX), Corporate Marketing Jack Kang, Energy Vault Solutions (Switzerland) president John Jung, Yarra Energy Foundation (Australia) CEO Dean Kline, Carbfix (Iceland) CEO Edda Sif Pind Aradóttir, 4DREPLAY (South Korea sports technology startup) CEO and founder Hongsu Jong, Hungarian Export Promotion Agency deputy (HEPA) deputy CEO Gábor Jenei, and Sport Tech (Hungary) project manager Tímea Horváth. Based on the domestic development trends and technical experience of the many countries represented at the forums, attendees expect to engage in in-depth exchanges with industry experts and research specialists in Taiwan.
The opening feature forum this year explored the competitiveness of the semiconductor sector in the coming decade. Mobile chips leader Qualcomm elaborated on what the future looks like for semiconductor development during his talk entitled "Intelligent development leads to unlimited opportunities in the semiconductor sector".
The Chain Reaction co-founder and CEO Alon Webman discussed the integration of top processes and encryption technologies as a lead into an introduction on the latest developments in the global semiconductor sector, with a focus on emerging chip design, next-generation semiconductor materials and other technologies.
At the Technology Supports 2050 Net Zero Transformation forum, Switzerland Energy Vault Solutions' John Jung spoke about "jumping off the high-tech framework, to subvert traditional energy storage", with his introduction to energy storage technology integrating sustainability and infrastructure. Australia YEF's Dean Kline addressed the topic of the "key to stabilizing green electricity in the community: efficient energy storage technology", while Iceland Carbfix CEO Edda Sif Pind Aradóttir shared their successful carbon reduction technology: a carbon dioxide stone smelting factory. At the New Technologies Catalyzes The New Look of the Sports Tech Industry forum, 4DREPLAY founder and CEO Hongsu Jung took the Tokyo Olympic Games' futuristic broadcasting technology as an example of how AI technology can reshape the sports spectator experience.
In addition to the forward-looking technology showcases, international trend forums and TIE Award Unveil and media conference, 2022 FutureTech set up two experience zones, Precision Health and Sports Technology, where they created interactive scenarios through which visitors can experience what the future augurs in terms of day-to-day life alongside applications developed by leveraging the new technologies.
Fitness buffs experienced the intelligent training mirror that combines image recognition and motion sensing interaction, so that they could accurately correct their movements in real time and assure themselves of a more effective fitness routine. Visitors also donned the AI-enabled smart glasses to control the prosthetic arm, and then switched over to the mixed reality (MR) glasses to see the blood vessels on the liver prosthesis as well as patient CT image files. The 15 practical applications on display show the latest achievements of Taiwan's intelligent medical care and sports tech software developers. It's a genuine peak into what the world of the future will look like.
2022 FutureTech has not only expanded the scale of the on-site exhibition, but also launched a synchronous online exhibition by leveraging an Online-merge-offline (OMO) approach, giving online visitors worldwide an opportunity to witness Taiwan's scientific research achievements. After the conclusion of the on-site exhibition, the follow-up team will, combined with the online exhibition material information, continue to track the media matchmaking work and offer 24/7 viewing and matchmaking services to interested parties for one year.

The message to U.S. lawmakers from Ukraine’s first lady, delivered amid stark and graphic images of civilian bloodshed, couldn’t have been clearer: After nearly five full months since Russia launched its invasion, Olena Zelenska said that her country needs more Western weapons.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sent her to Washington to appeal directly to U.S. Congress for air defense systems.
The appeal Wednesday came as Russia suggested it plans to grab broader areas beyond the industrial region of eastern Ukraine known as the Donbas, with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emphasizing that Moscow also claims the Kherson region and part of Zaporizhzhia and will “continuously and persistently” expand its gains elsewhere.
The billions of dollars in Western military assistance have been crucial for Ukraine’s efforts to fend off Russian attacks, but officials in Kyiv say the numbers are still too small to turn the tide of the war.
A look at what Ukraine has received so far:
HIMARS ROCKET LAUNCHERS
The HIMARS systems supplied by the U.S. and similar M270s from Britain have significantly bolstered the Ukrainian military’s precision-strike capability.
The HIMARS and M270 have a longer range, a much better precision and a faster rate of fire compared with Soviet-designed Smerch, Uragan and Tornado multiple rocket launchers used by both Russia and Ukraine.
The truck-mounted HIMARS launchers fire GPS-guided missiles capable of hitting targets up to 80 kilometers (50 miles) away, a distance that puts them out of reach of most Russian artillery systems. The mobile launchers are hard for the enemy to spot and can quickly change position after firing to escape airstrikes.
The Ukrainian military so far has received a dozen HIMARS and several M270 systems, but it already has used them to successfully target Russian ammunition and fuel depots in eastern Ukraine, essential for supporting Moscow’s offensive. On Wednesday, Ukrainian forces reportedly used HIMARS to hit a strategic bridge in the Russia-occupied southern region of Kherson.
“HIMARS have hardly had any rest during the day or at night. Their potential has been used to the maximum,” Ukrainian military experts Oleh Zhdanov told The Associated Press. “The results have been impressive. Over 30 important Russian targets have been hit with high precision over the past two weeks.”
U.S. authorities so far have refrained from providing Ukraine with longer-range missiles for HIMARS launchers that can reach targets up to 300 kilometers (186 miles), allowing the military to hit areas deep inside Russian territory.
HEAVY ARTILLERY
Ukraine has taken deliveries of more than 200 heavy artillery systems from the U.S. and its NATO allies. They have included the U.S. M777, French CAESAR, German PzH 2000 and a few other towed and self-propelled long-range artillery systems.
The Western howitzers have some advantages over older Soviet-designed systems in the Russian and Ukrainian arsenals, but it takes time for Ukrainian crews to learn how to operate them. Their wide assortment poses obvious logistical challenges.
“Ukraine has been given a tremendous amount … of artillery equipment that’s very diverse,” said Michael Kofman, an expert on the Russian military and program director at the Virginia-based CNA think tank. “What they’ve ended up with is a petting zoo of artillery, and it’s very hard to do maintenance, sustainment and logistics.”
A more serious problem is that the numbers of Western weapons are still far too small.
Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak said last month that the country needs at least 1,000 heavy howitzers, 300 multiple rocket launchers, 500 tanks and 2,000 armored vehicles — much more than the West has provided.
“Western weapons are superior to Soviet-era analogues, but the numbers have been too small to turn the tide of the war,” Zhdanov said.
ARMOR
Ukraine has asked the West for more armor to replenish its heavy battlefield losses. The country has reportedly received over 300 Soviet-built T-72 tanks from Poland and the Czech Republic, and already has used them in combat.
The long-promised delivery of German Leopard tanks is on hold, however, a delay that has drawn an angry response in Ukrainian media and social networks.
Ukraine has taken delivery of several hundred armored personnel carriers from the U.S. and a few NATO allies, a motley collection of vehicles that hasn’t fully compensated for what it already has lost.
Western allies also have provided Ukraine with big numbers of portable anti-tank weapons, which played a key role in helping Ukrainian soldiers to decimate Russian armored convoys.
DRONES
In the early part of the war, Ukraine extensively used its inventory of Turkish-made Bayraktar TB-2 laser-guided, bomb-dropping drones to hit long convoys of Russian troops and supply columns. Bayraktars, however, have become less effective in the face of denser Russian air and electronic defenses in eastern Ukraine.
Since the war began, the U.S. and Western allies have shipped hundreds of other drones, including an unspecified number of “kamikaze” Switchblade 600s that carry tank-piercing warheads and use artificial intelligence to track targets. But their range is limited, and they can only stay aloft for about 40 minutes.
Ukraine has pushed strongly for more advanced long-range drones that can survive radio interference and GPS jamming and rely on satellite communications for control and navigation.
AIR DEFENSE SYSTEMS
The U.S. and other NATO allies have provided Ukraine with over 2,000 portable air defense missile systems, or MANPADS, such as Stingers and other similar weapons.
Such compact systems are efficient against combat helicopters and low-flying jets, and the Ukrainian military has used them to inflict significant losses on the Russian air force, restricting its capability to provide close air support to ground forces and helping slow the pace of Moscow’s offensive.
At the same time, Ukraine also has prodded the West to supply it with medium- and long-range air defense systems that would be capable of downing cruise missiles and high-flying aircraft.
It has received several Soviet-built S-300 long-range air defense systems from Slovakia, the type of weapons the Ukrainian military has long operated.
The U.S. also has pledged to give Ukraine two NASAMS mid-range air defense systems.
Germany has promised to supply Ukraine with 30 Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, but they have yet to arrive.
WARPLANES
Since the start of the invasion on Feb. 24, Ukraine has urged Western allies to provide it with warplanes to challenge Russia’s air superiority.
However, the U.S. and its allies have been reluctant to give Ukraine the fighter jets it asks for, fearing it would provoke an escalatory response from Moscow, which has warned NATO that supplying Ukraine with combat aircraft could be tantamount to joining the conflict.
In March, the Pentagon rejected Poland’s proposal for handing over its Soviet-built MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine by transferring them through a U.S. base in Germany, citing a high risk of triggering a Russia-NATO escalation. Ukraine has its own fleet of MiG-29s, but it’s unclear how many of those and other jets are still in service.
Earlier this month, Slovakia announced an intention to give its MiG-29 fleet to Ukraine as it awaits delivery of U.S. F-16 figter jets, but no action has been taken.

Man credits TV show for multi-winning lottery experiment idea
COLUMBIA, S.C. (Gray News) – A man in South Carolina says a television show gave him a winning idea for a lottery experiment.
He decided to spend $25 a week playing the lottery for three months after watching an episode of TLC’s “Lottery Changed My Life.”
He won $500 the first week and $100,000 on a Powerball ticket the seventh.
“I didn’t even know how to play Powerball,” he laughed.
According to the South Carolina Lottery, the man thought he matched two numbers but his wife noticed he had the Powerball number.
After a second look, he realized five numbers matched, one short of winning the jackpot in the drawing on May 28.
Lottery officials say he spent the extra $1 for PowerPlay so his $50,000 prize doubled to $100,000 when a “2″ multiplier was drawn.
Since cashing in his win, the man has bought a car and still plans to spend $25 a week on lottery tickets.
“I’m going to finish out the three months,” he said.

POLK COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) – A Haines City police officer said he thought he was going to die when a traffic stop on Highway 27 turned into a struggle for his life.
According to police, 27-year-old Officer Dwight Rogers was shot in the leg by a suspect who was able to pull the trigger of his gun from inside its holster.
“Thank God this didn’t turn out a different way,” said Interim Police Chief Loyd Stewart.
According to police, the chain of events started with a man named Luis Alfonso Alicea Feliciano. Officer Rogers said Feliciano was going 15 miles per hour and driving erratically around 8:30 Sunday night.
When Officer Rogers pulled Feliciano over, he refused to hand over any documents or get out of the vehicle, according to police.
Feliciano was arrested for resisting an officer without violence.
The vehicle he was driving, registered to his girlfriend, Daribel Torres-Orozco, had a “seized tag order” on it, according to police, so it had to be towed.
Feliciano asked to call his girlfriend to pick up groceries that were in the car. Daribel Torres-Orozco arrived at the scene with her brother, 26-year-old David Torres-Orozco of Davenport.
“They continued to act aggressively toward the sergeant and the other officers who were there and there’s a total of four officers there at this point,” said Interim Chief Stewart.
After being asked to step back several times, according to police, a sergeant handcuffed Daribel Torres-Orozco.

That’s when police said David Torres-Orozco reached for the gun in Officer Rogers’ holster.
“He’s somehow able to get his finger into the holster and fire the firearm in the holster and the round goes into Officer Roger’s leg,” said Interim Chief Stewart.
Officers were able to wrangle Orozco into custody.
“He said he blacked out and didn’t remember but he always wants to protect his family,” said Interim Chief Stewart.
Immediately following the incident, Interim Chief Stewart said he ordered staff to research new holsters that will not put his officers at risk.
“Safariland is the holster that we use and they have several different models out and their most current model, a picture of it appears to correct that issue of being able to get your finger into it,” he said.
Daribel Torres-Orozco, who has no previous criminal record, is facing a charge of resisting officer without violence.
David Torres-Orozco, who also has no previous criminal record, faces charges of aggravated battery on law enforcement officer, resist officer with violence, battery on law enforcement officer, attempted felony murder with weapon and resist officer without violence.
Officer Rogers remains hospitalized at Lakeland Regional Health and is expected to make a full recovery. He has been with the department for four years. | https://www.wfla.com/news/polk-county/suspect-shoots-haines-city-officer-by-pulling-trigger-inside-holster-police-say/ | 2022-07-18 23:00:43 | 1 | https://www.wfla.com/news/polk-county/suspect-shoots-haines-city-officer-by-pulling-trigger-inside-holster-police-say/ |

Valeri Nichushkin stood in front of a poster of Alex Ovechkin hoisting the Stanley Cup on the eve of his first trip to the final and remembered what it was like to witness that moment.
“That was fun to watch when Ovi win it, especially when he celebrated,” he said. “I think that was one of the best things.”
One thing better for Nichushkin would be hoisting hockey’s holy grail himself.
“I hope so,” he said. “We’ll see.”
Nichushkin and the Colorado Avalanche are two wins away from doing just that, and the big Russian winger is a big reason why they'll take a 2-1 lead over the back-to-back defending Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning into Game 4 on Wednesday. He was tied for the team lead in goals with three, set up Andre Burakovsky for his overtime winner in the series opener and scored in Game 3 before it was called back for an oh-so-close offside.
He has consistently been the best player on the ice in the final, hounding the puck, forcing turnovers and creating offense.
“He’s built for this time of year,” coach Jared Bednar said. “Big, long, strong, fast, tenacious, hungry, relentless on the puck, finishing off the chances he gets. He can play with top guys. You can move him up and down the lineup, plays power play, penalty kill. I mean, I don’t know what else to say about the guy.”
Nichushkin, who hasn’t spoken to reporters since the series began, has been a pest on defense, as usual, but has added some offense that was missing for much of his playoff career in the NHL.
Over his first 28 postseason games with the Dallas Stars and Avalanche, Nichushkin had just one goal and two assists. That included a 25-game goal drought.
This postseason, he is among Colorado’s goal-scoring leaders with eight, trailing just Nathan MacKinnon and Gabriel Landeskog. Nichushkin has received Selke Trophy votes for the league’s top defensive forward each of the past three seasons, but this offensive evolution is a development even his coach didn’t see coming.
“I’m a little bit surprised at where he’s gotten to with his game,” Bednar said before describing why he perhaps shouldn’t be so surprised. “I’ll be cutting video after a game, trying to get some work done to lighten the load for the next morning and I’ll be the last one there, the trainers are leaving and I’ll be walking out of the room and I’ll see Val walk out of the room. He’s just getting done lifting. That’s just the type of guy he is.”
That strength has been obvious on the ice early in the final, outmuscling Lightning players to get to quality scoring areas and winning board battles to get the puck back.
Defenseman Josh Manson remembers playing against Nichushkin while with Anaheim and just how much of a struggle he was to deal with.
“It feels like he’s way more consistent with it now,” Manson said. “He fits in the structure so well. He forechecks so hard. He’s such a big, strong guy. He’s lanky and he just constantly puts you under pressure and he’s strong enough to turn the puck over.”
So strong teammate J.T. Compher referred to Nichushkin as “a horse.” Physically, yes, but he has also shown smarts, like shaking free of a defender to be in place for his power-play goal that jumpstarted a 7-0 rout in Game 2.
In a lot of ways, Nichushkin fit the bill for what Colorado was looking for to augment the flashy skill of MacKinnon, Landeskog, Mikko Rantanen and Cale Makar. His offense is almost a bonus after all he has done for the Avalanche in three seasons.
“The system that we play, what we sort of demand of our players on the defensive side of it, is a huge strength of Val’s,” Bednar said. “And he’s obviously a big, long, strong guy that can skate and sort of fits our mold playing a high-pace, north game and the battles, the races that he can win, I think it just kind of fits his style. He’s found his place here.”

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — The White House is investing $1 billion to help communities face increasingly severe weather conditions.
Vice President Kamala Harris made the announcement at the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida on Monday, the first day of hurricane season.
The White House said the money will go to more than 300 projects across the country. Harris said the funds are necessary to save lives and money down the road.
“(It will) protect the people of our nation,” Harris said. “Every year, more and more powerful hurricanes and tropical storms make landfall on the coast.”
She said the grant money will help communities prepare and respond to disasters by investing in more resilient infrastructure.
The announcement came as Kentucky faces deadly flooding and as wildfires spread in California and Montana.
“It has been devastating, what we are witnessing,” Harris said.
The $1 billion is double what the administration spent last year on resilient infrastructure projects, but the investment is an effort to meet growing demand for federal aid. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, communities last year requested a record-breaking $4.7 billion in resilient infrastructure grants.
“Climate change has become a climate crisis,” Harris said.
She said to save money down the road, the administration plans to double funding again next year to ensure every community has the tools it needs to survive.
Harris on Monday said Congress must take action to try to stop things from getting even worse. A plan Democrats say can help is currently being negotiated. | https://cbs4indy.com/news/washington-dc-bureau/vp-announces-1-billion-for-infrastructure-resilient-to-severe-weather/ | 2022-08-02 04:10:24 | 0 | https://cbs4indy.com/news/washington-dc-bureau/vp-announces-1-billion-for-infrastructure-resilient-to-severe-weather/ |
Police flagged Highland Park shooter ‘clear and present danger’ in 2019; he later cleared 4 background checks
Crimo successfully cleared four firearm purchase background checks between 2020 and 2021
The suspect in the Highland Park, Illinois, Fourth of July mass shooting was flagged by police as a "clear and present danger" in 2019, authorities said Tuesday.
Robert "Bobby" E. Crimo III, 21, the suspect in the mass shooting that killed seven people and wounded dozens of others at a Fourth of July parade, was still able to clear state-required background checks to purchase firearms on at least four separate occasions between 2020 and 2021, the Illinois State Police said.
"In September 2019, ISP received a Clear and Present Danger report on the subject from the Highland Park Police Department. The report was related to threats the subject made against his family," Illinois State Police said in a statement posted to Twitter by a staff member for Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.
The report said that when Highland Park officers went to the family's home and asked Crimo if he felt like harming himself of others, he said no. Police said Crimo's father claimed knives in the home belonged to him and they were being kept in Crimo's closet for safekeeping. Based on that information, Highland Park Police returned the knives to the father that day.
The statement said police did not make any arrests at the time and that members of the family were "not willing to move forward on a complaint."
Members of the family also did not "provide information on threats or mental health that would have allowed law enforcement to take additional action," the ISP statement added.
"Additionally, no Firearms Restraining Order was filed, nor any order of protection," ISP said.
HIGHLAND PARK FOURTH OF JULY PARADE SHOOTING VICTIMS IDENTIFIED: WHO WERE THEY?
Such action police could have taken included revoking a licensed-gun owner's Firearm Owners Identification card (FOID), which is required in the state to own or purchase a firearm.
Illinois State Police said at the time of the September 2019 incident the suspect "did not have a FOID card to revoke or a pending FOID application to deny."
Three months later, Crimo did apply and successfully obtained an FOID card, police said.
"The subject was under 21 and the application was sponsored by the subject’s father. Therefore, at the time of the FOID application review in January of 2020, there was an insufficient basis to establish a clear and present danger and deny the FOID application," police said.
The suspect went on to clear four background checks when purchasing firearms on June 9, 2020; on July 18 and July 31, 2020; and on September 20, 2021.
Illinois State Police said the suspect did not have mental health prohibitor reports on his record and his only criminal offense was a possession of tobacco charge in January 2016.

Police said the suspect also had two prior incidents of suicidal and violent threats. These also did not prevent him from legally purchasing a high-powered rifle that he is believed to have used to kill seven people during the July Fourth parade. | https://www.foxnews.com/us/highland-park-shooter-flagged-clear-present-danger-2019 | 2022-07-06 05:49:39 | 1 | https://www.foxnews.com/us/highland-park-shooter-flagged-clear-present-danger-2019 |
RICHFIELD TWP, MI - When Colleen Pace set out to renovate her Riverbank Farm built in 1987, the 70-year-old two-time breast cancer survivor had no previous building experience for what she envisioned.
“When my husband would ask, ‘What are you going to build in here?’ I would reply, ‘I’m not sure. I haven’t thought about that yet.’”
Pace said she just knew she wanted to incorporate the 40-year-old oak tongue-and-groove boards that comprised her old horse stalls, and the heavy stall doors that thousands of people repeatedly rolled open in order to share time with her horses over the decades.
The riding arena she renovated at the farm, 8375 East Coldwater Road in Richfield Township, starting in September 2021 is 1,200 square feet large.
Pace used be the owner of a horse-riding stable where inner-city kids and others learned about horses and pet them.
Over 5,000 local Girl Scouts earned their Horse Lovers Badge here and over 1,000 people took their first horse ride at Riverbank.
She primarily trained non-horse owning beginners.
“In the horse industry, they expect everyone wants to do competition which is not true,” Pace said. “Eighty percent of the people are not interested in competition, but you don’t see them. The industry only sees the competitive people.”
She stopped giving lessons around 2010 when her husband, Gary, retired as an associate biology professor from the University of Michigan-Flint.
Pace flipped the arena into a she-shed, the female equivalent of a man cave -- where women can go and “not listen to their husbands’ favorite sports on TV,” she quipped.
It will be used for gardening, sewing, painting, tea rooms with friends and toys for kids.
If Pace had known how difficult the renovation would be, she would never have started it.
“I permanently damaged my left elbow struggling to crowbar the old stalls apart, so much so that the swelling in my arm caused my doctor to test for recurring cancer in my lymph nodes,” Pace said.
Last summer, she attempted to stack one incredibly heavy stall door sideways on top of another to form a wall, but the top door fell on her head and hand, putting her out of work for three days.
Pace also mistakenly applied polyurethane to the kitchenette floor wearing only one of the thin blue surgical masks for COVID-19.
It landed her in an urgent care and on Prednisone for a week. Even though she purchased an appropriate mask before finishing the gathering room, she is still working with a pulmonary specialist now.
“Even with all of that, now that it’s done, I am so incredibly happy with it,” Pace said. “As Disney Princess Cinderella sang, “I’m in my own little corner in my own little room.”
The gathering room and kitchenette floors are made from the backside of the old tongue-and-groove stall boards.
Pace spent all winter hand-sanding each one for a consistent deep brown finish.
The hall and bathroom floors are made from the front side of the boards, partly sanded in order to leave much of the original paint – green, white, pink, or yellow, depending on how that stall was used over the decades.
Pace has four horses: Sara, Sparky, Zena, and Ruby.
Growing up in Winchester Village in Swartz Creek, she had five siblings and no access to horses. In the early 1960s, when she was a pre-teen, Pace was introduced to riding stables around Genesee County and bought her first horse when she was 16 years old.
“I was just one of those kids in a subdivision family that loved horses and I was born with it,” she said.
Pace earned a business degree from the University of Michigan-Flint and worked 20 years as departmental secretary and eventually became a dean secretary in the School of Management.
She has done so much community service, including writing a introductory program for people who most likely never own horses and reading programs for kids and has won a national award from Pfizer Animal Health and Stable Management Magazine, a go-to place for horse farm and stable owners managers to get practical information.
Pace is hoping lots of women swing through for the she-shed activities and is looking for a number of instructors.
Inside the barn is a circuit machine, hot press, rock tumbler, and an embroidery machine.
One woman reached out to her interested in hosting a horse yoga class where it involves people balancing poses on a horse’s back.
Pace’s former daughter-in-law will host a three-dimensional greeting card class at the end of January.
“There are a lot of artists in Flint who are capable of teaching but have no place to do it,” she said. “Nobody gets rich doing this.”
Pace might not have had a clear vision to renovating her decades-old barn, but at least her husband now has the answer.

BOSTON (AP) — President Joe Biden said Monday said if Democrats lose Congress after the upcoming midterm elections, it’s going to be a “difficult two years,” and he’s going to be spending a lot of time “with the veto pen.”
Biden was speaking at a Democratic National Committee reception in a swanky Boston apartment following his speech about his administration’s efforts at ending cancer “as we know it.”
In the starkest terms yet, the president laid out how important the upcoming November midterm elections are. The U.S. Senate right now is split 50-50 with Vice President Kamala Harris as the tie-breaker. The House is 219-211 in favor of Democrats.
“If we lose the House and we lose the Senate it’s going to be a really difficult two years,” he told a crowd of about 30 donors and guests. “I’ll be spending more time with the veto pen than getting anything done.”
Republican National Committee Ronna McDaniel said Biden remained focused on “an out-of-touch and divisive agenda, one that benefits the wealthy, while struggling Americans pay more.”
In his remarks, the president also took aim at the “ MAGA Republicans,” continuing his sharp attacks against former Republican President Donald Trump and his supporters, an effort that has emboldened Democrats across the country ahead of the election.
He questioned the Republican platform and touted his own achievements but came back to how the Democrats couldn’t “afford to lose this off-year election.”
Monday’s gathering raised about $2 million. The DNC said it has so far raised more than $255 million this cycle and more than $92 million so far this year, the most at this point in any year. | https://www.wane.com/news/politics/ap-politics/ap-biden-difficult-2-years-ahead-if-dems-lose-congress/ | 2022-09-13 02:07:46 | 1 | https://www.wane.com/news/politics/ap-politics/ap-biden-difficult-2-years-ahead-if-dems-lose-congress/ |
PARIS (AP) — A United Nations-backed mission is recommending that the Great Barrier Reef be added to the list of endangered World Heritage sites, warning that without “ambitious, rapid and sustained” climate action the world’s largest coral reef is in peril.
The warning came in a report published Monday following a 10-day mission to the reef last March by officials from UNESCO and the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
The reef, a living place of immense variety and beauty on the north-east coast of Australia, has been on UNESCO’s World Heritage List since 1981.
Australia’s federal government and Queensland’s state authorities should adopt more ambitious emission reduction targets, in line with international efforts to limit future warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) since pre-industrial times, according to the report.
Feedback from Australian officials, both at the federal and state level, will also be reviewed before UNESCO, the U.N.’s Paris-based cultural agency, makes any official proposal to the World Heritage committee.
The text is damning about recent efforts to stop mass bleaching and prevent pollution from contaminating the reef’s natural waters, saying they have not been fast nor effective enough. Uncurbed emissions lead to increased water acidity, which can be toxic.
More money should be found to increase the water quality and stop the site’s decline, the report concludes.
In an email to AP, the U.N. cultural agency said: “In recent months, we have had a constructive dialogue (with) Australian authorities. But there is still work to be done.” | https://www.localsyr.com/science/ap-science/ap-un-great-barrier-reef-should-be-on-heritage-danger-list/ | 2022-11-29 02:04:10 | 1 | https://www.localsyr.com/science/ap-science/ap-un-great-barrier-reef-should-be-on-heritage-danger-list/ |

Restaurants are beginning the new year with a recurring problem: labor shortages.
Chipotle said Thursday it’s looking to hire 15,000 people in North America to ensure its stores are staffed up ahead of its busy spring season. Other chains are also looking for workers: Taco Bell has more than 25,000 listings for crew members posted on its website, while Starbucks has posted more than 10,000 listings for baristas.
U.S. restaurants have added jobs for 24 consecutive months since the height of the pandemic, according to the National Restaurant Association. But restaurant employment is still 3.6% lower than before the pandemic, or the equivalent of 450,000 jobs.
In a November survey of its members, the association found that 62% of restaurant operators said they didn’t have enough employees to satisfy customer demand. Eighty-seven percent of operators said they will hire additional employees in the next year if they find qualified applicants, but 79% said they already have job openings that have been difficult to fill.
Dean Nunez, the director of operations for Floriana, an Italian restaurant in Wilmington, North Carolina, said jobs in the back of the house __ like line cooks and dishwashers __ are the hardest to fill right now. Many of the people who used to do those jobs found work at groceries, drugstores, banks and other places during the pandemic and have never returned, he said.
Floriana has raised pay to at least $15 per hour to help fill those positions, he said. It’s charging diners more for their meals to compensate. But attracting workers __ especially young people __ is still hard. Most people in Floriana’s kitchen are in their 50s or 60s.
“It’s tough. It’s not for everyone,” Nunez said. “It’s long hours, it’s hot, it’s repetitive.”
Chipotle’s hiring campaign will feature current employees talking about their career progression within the company, in an effort not only to attract workers but to retain them.
Chipotle’s Chief Restaurant Officer Scott Boatwright said the hiring push aims to ensure that stores are fully staffed between March and May, Chipotle’s busiest months. The company based in Newport Beach, California, also needs employees to meet its growth plans; it’s hoping to double its North American store count to 7,000 over the next several years. | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/chipotle-looks-to-hire-15000-amid-continuing-labor-shortage/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | 2023-01-26 21:36:11 | 0 | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/chipotle-looks-to-hire-15000-amid-continuing-labor-shortage/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all |
After 20 years in prison, an Australian woman accused of killing her four infant children over the course of a decade has been released and given a full pardon.
Authorities released Kathleen Folbigg after she was pardoned by New South Wales Gov. Margaret Beazley.
The New South Wales government said that Folbigg was originally sentenced to 40 years, but had her sentence reduced to 30 years. Folbigg has consistently maintained her innocence.
Last week, New South Wales lawmakers received a report that stated there is “reasonable doubt” in her conviction as investigators believe she was “wrongly convicted.” A preliminary report was delivered to New South Wales Attorney General Michael Daley from Tom Bathurst, who was previously New South Wales’ chief justice of the Supreme Court.
“I sought appropriate advice and weighed the options available to me carefully,” said Daley, adding the report provided “exceptional circumstances” for recommending a pardon.

Daley said he met with Beazley, who agreed to the pardon.
“What is the difference between today and what transpired in the past is new evidence has come to light, and it’s appropriate we reconsider these sorts of questions in light of new evidence,” Daley said.
Lawmakers said prior to her release, Folbigg “suffered in the hands of the State in the NSW prison system, having been abused and bashed while held inside.” They added, “Holding Ms Folbigg for even a day longer is a compounding of the worst of injustices.”
“I have to say her four little bubbers are dead, a husband and wife who lost their child, a woman has spent 20 years in jail and their family never had a chance so you would not be human if you don’t feel something about that,” Daley said.

Cotie McMahon is going to play for her country again.
The Ohio State basketball standout from Centerville is among the 12 players chosen to be part of the USA Women’s U-19 National Team after three days of trials in Colorado Springs, Col.
The team is set to compete in the 2023 FIBA U-19 Women’s World Cup this summer in Madrid.
McMahon started all 36 games for Ohio State last season as the Buckeyes made the Elite Eight for the first time in 30 years.
She averaged 15.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.6 steals in 29.1 minutes per game while shooting 51 percent from the floor and assuming a larger role when veteran guards Madison Greene and Jacy Sheldon were injured during the season.
She had 14 twenty-point games and scored in double figures 26 times with a high of 30 points against South Florida in December.
Among freshman in the NCAA last season, McMahon ranked third in field goals made, fourth in field goal percentage, fourth in free throw attempts, fifth in points, sixth in free throws made, ninth in scoring and 12th in steals.
McMahon helped Team USA’s U-18 women’s team to a gold medal at the Americas Championship last summer when she averaged 14.2 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game.
Ohio State head coach Kevin McGuff cited that experience multiple times as helping her hit the ground running with the Buckeyes last fall.
The other players to make the team are Madison Booker, Aalyah Del Rosario, Jadyn Donovan, Joyce Edwards, Hannah Hidalgo, Londynn Jones, Chloe Kitts, Talana Lepolo, Kiki Rice, Grace VanSlooten and Allie Ziebell.
The 16-team 2023 FIBA U-19 Women’s World Cup is set to begin July 15.
The team will reconvene in Colorado Springs for training camp July 2 with a roster that includes athletes who enrolled early or were college freshman last season and members of the high school graduating classes of 2023 or 2024. Athletes eligible for this team must be U.S. citizens born on or after January 1, 2004.

JUANA SUMMERS, HOST:
Turning overseas, there is an extra challenge in getting earthquake aid to hard-hit Syria. It's caused by the strained relations between international donors and a regime still at war with some of its own people. Aid groups are having a tough time navigating the geopolitics to get help to areas controlled by opponents of the regime. NPR's Michele Kelemen reports.
MICHELE KELEMEN, BYLINE: The U.N. has struggled for years to aid Syrians in the midst of the civil war, and the needs are skyrocketing in the wake of a devastating earthquake.
EL-MOSTAFA BENLAMLIH: We need generators. We need to replace and repair water pumps. We need to make sure that there is security.
KELEMEN: That's El-Mostafa Benlamlih, a U.N. official based in Syria's capital, who's trying to get help to areas in the north affected by the earthquake.
BENLAMLIH: Just this morning, even here in Damascus, we had snow. There, they have snow. They have freezing cold weather. And they're living in terrible situation.
KELEMEN: That includes areas controlled by the government and the opposition. The Syrian government has a track record of blocking aid to rebel-controlled areas and has always insisted that the aid comes through Damascus. The U.N. is only allowed to use one aid route from Turkey to reach an opposition-held area. And the U.N.'s regional humanitarian coordinator, Muhannad Hadi, is trying to make do.
MUHANNAD HADI: We are in the business of saving lives, so we ask for what we want, and we do with what we get. If they give us one crossing point, we will do our best to save lives with that. But we would like to have more flexibility to do more.
KELEMEN: The road used by U.N. aid workers from Turkey into northern Syria was damaged by the earthquake, though Hadi says some trucks are now poised to move in Thursday. Millions of Syrians uprooted by the war live just across the border and are dependent on outside aid, says Ammar al-Salmo, a volunteer with the Syrian White Helmets, a rescue group that operates in opposition areas.
AMMAR AL-SALMO: We did not expect help from the regime because the regime was the starving people before. So people did not expect to receive any help from the regime.
KELEMEN: Throughout the 12-year-long civil war in Syria, the government has besieged opposition-held cities, bombarded them and even used chemical weapons, as a recent U.N. report confirmed. Under Secretary of State for Arms Control Bonnie Jenkins addressed a Security Council meeting on that this week.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
BONNIE JENKINS: It is not lost on us that many of the Syrian first responders now pulling civilians from the rubble were just a few years ago helping civilians who had been burned or suffocated by the Assad regime's chemical weapons.
KELEMEN: Syria says it is U.S. sanctions that are hampering aid efforts. And Syria's ambassador to the U.N., Bassem Sabbagh, says his country is ready to aid all parts of the country.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
BASSAM SABBAGH: Any countries who wanted to provide the shelters, the food supply, the medications to the Syrians anywhere in Syria, we can help. We can support. We can work with.
KELEMEN: But he repeatedly brushed off questions about whether Syria would agree to open any other border crossings, calling that a matter of Syrian sovereignty.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
SABBAGH: Anything under our control is ready, and we are going to help on that.
KELEMEN: U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price says the U.S. will continue to work with its partners in Syria, and that does not include the government.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
NED PRICE: These partners who, unlike the Syrian regime, are there to help the people rather than brutalize them.
KELEMEN: U.N. officials are calling on everyone to put politics aside and think about the Syrian people first. Michele Kelemen, NPR News, the State Department.

Alec Baldwin has reached a settlement in the fatal Rust shooting which killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza in October 2021.
Production on the film is expected to resume in January 2023 with Halyna's widower, Matthew Hutchins, on board as an executive producer.
"We are pleased to announce today the settlement of the civil case filed on behalf of the family of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins," a statement released Wednesday on Baldwin's Instagram page reads. "Throughout this difficult process, everyone has maintained the specific desire to do what is best for Halyna’s son. We are grateful to everyone who contributed to the resolution of this tragic and painful situation."
Baldwin's lawyer, Luke Nikas of Quinn Emanuel, added in a statement to ET: "Throughout this difficult process, everyone has maintained the specific desire to do what is best for Halyna’s son. We are grateful to everyone who contributed to the resolution of this tragic and painful situation."
In a separate statement from Matthew Hutchins, his attorney Brian Panish of Panish | Shea | Boyle | Ravipudi LLP told ET: "We have reached a settlement, subject to court approval, for our wrongful death case against the producers of Rust including Alec Baldwin and Rust Movie Productions, LLC. As part of that settlement, our case will be dismissed. The filming of Rust, which I will now executive produce, will resume with all the original principal players on board, in January 2023. I have no interest in engaging in recriminations or attribution of blame (to the producers or Mr. Baldwin). All of us believe Halyna's death was a terrible accident. I am grateful that the producers and the entertainment community have come together to pay tribute to Halyna's final work."
In February, Halyna's estate filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Baldwin and the Rust production over the fatal shooting on the set of the film in which Baldwin starred and produced. During a news conference in Los Angeles, Panish said Baldwin and others named defendants are "responsible for the safety on the set and whose reckless behavior in cost cutting led to the senseless and tragic death of Halyna Hutchins.”
While Baldwin was holding the gun at the time of the shooting, he maintains that he never pulled the trigger.
Baldwin spoke out about the tragic incident in August during an interview on The Chris Cuomo Project, explaining how the gun could have gone off without him pulling the trigger.
"This did not come from me, this came from the D.A.'s Office themselves," he said. "You're familiar with what fanning a gun is? Have you heard of that phrase, fanning the gun? So, if you pull the hammer back, and you don’t lock the hammer; if you pull the hammer back pretty far -- in old Western movies you’d see someone fan the hammer of the gun-- the hammer didn’t lock; you pulled it back to an extent where it would fire the bullet without you pulling the trigger, without you locking the hammer."
"The man who's the principal safety officer on the set of the film declared that the gun was safe when he handed it to me," he continued. "The person who was the principal safety officer of the film declared in front of the entire assemblage, ‘This is a cold gun.' Now, why did he say that if he didn’t know and he hadn’t checked? The point is, all of us were told that everything was cool and you could relax and we’re working with a gun that’s safe to rehearse with. He explained it to me, effectively, exactly what can happen if you pull the hammer back and let it go if there’s a live round. See, there’s only one question to ask here -- who put a live round in the gun? That’s it. There is no other question to ask."
Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed's attorney, Jason Bowles, told ET on Wednesday: "Hannah is grateful that this settlement will benefit the Hutchins family and that the parties were able to constructively resolve the civil lawsuit. We are hopeful that the district attorneys office will also recognize that a measure of Justice has been achieved in regards to this tragic accident, and that they will opt not to pursue criminal charges."
However, a spokesperson for the New Mexico Office of the First Judicial District Attorney told ET in a statement, "The proposed settlement announced today in Matthew Hutchins’ wrongful death case against Rust movie producers, including Alec Baldwin, in the death of Halyna Hutchins will have no impact on District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altweis’ ongoing investigation or her ultimate decision whether to file criminal charges in the case. While civil suits are settled privately and often involve financial awards, criminal cases deal only in facts. If the facts and evidence warrant criminal charges under New Mexico law then charges will be brought. No one is above the law."

Peter Krause admits that he loved being a part of the "Seinfeld" cast in the early days of the show, and he shares a shocking story about one particular scene he shot with Jerry Seinfeld. While the two of them were sitting in a limo waiting for the cameras to start rolling, Jerry took a candy out of a dish, sucked on it, placed it back in the wrapper and put it back in the dish for someone else to grab later. Gasp!

BOSTON, Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - John Hancock Premium Dividend Fund (NYSE: PDT) (the "Fund"), a closed-end fund managed by John Hancock Investment Management LLC and subadvised by Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC, announced today sources of its monthly distribution of $0.0975 per share paid to all shareholders of record as of August 11, 2022, pursuant to the Fund's managed distribution plan. This press release is issued as required by an exemptive order granted to the Fund by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Notification of Sources of Distribution
This notice provides shareholders of the John Hancock Premium Dividend Fund (NYSE: PDT) with important information concerning the distribution declared on August 1, 2022, and payable on August 31, 2022. No action is required on your part.
The following table sets forth the estimated sources of the current distribution, payable August 31, 2022, and the cumulative distributions paid this fiscal year to date from the following sources: net investment income; net realized short term capital gains; net realized long term capital gains; and return of capital or other capital source. All amounts are expressed on a per common share basis and as a percentage of the distribution amount.
You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund's managed distribution plan.
The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with "yield" or "income."
The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this Notice are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes.

In the wake of tragedy, friends and family of the late Ryan Bigoness came together Saturday evening to remember, honor and celebrate his life.
Bigoness, 37, was killed in a motorcycle crash in north Boulder on Sept. 14. The celebration of life was put together quickly but never felt stressful, said Alex Jacobsen, who hosted the event at his Lafayette home.
“Everything we’re doing is about what Ryan would want,” Jacobsen said. “With everybody coming together around a common purpose, it’s been the most easeful event I’ve ever experienced.”
Jacobsen has been close to Bigoness since meeting him through a mutual friend. He described Bigoness as a “calm and collected” person who loved camping, dancing and joking around.
“Ryan spent eight years as a combat Marine in Afghanistan and Iraq, and yet he was the most lighthearted, fun-loving guy you’d ever meet,” Jacobsen said.
Ryan Swanson, Bigoness’ girlfriend of two years, said Bigoness came to Boulder for a fresh start. He attended Naropa University and majored in Religious Studies.
Swanson said Bigoness had a “dorky” side to him, mentioning his love of fantasy and Dungeons and Dragons.
“He had a goofy personality that was very endearing,” she said.
Swanson said she has many fond memories of her and Bigoness spending time together with her 9-year-old son, Edward, and Bigoness’ dog, Daisy.
“He had a big heart, she said. “He was kind of introverted, but he made a big impact on the lives that he did know.”
Saturday’s celebration featured refreshments, music and toasts from dozens of friends and family in attendance. Many of the decorations, including tablecloths and flower arrangements, were purple — Bigoness’ favorite color.
Several members of Bigoness’ immediate family flew out to Boulder from the Chicago area, where Bigoness was born.
“Boulder has been a great home base for Ryan,” said his brother Kyle Bigoness, who will be returning to Chicago on Sunday. “He’s had a lot of great people surrounding him.”
Bigoness’ aunt, Peggy Bigoness, is his only blood relative in Colorado. She came down to Boulder from her Fort Collins home to attend the celebration.
“Ryan and I were the ones in the family who decided to move out west,” she said. “The two of us loved it out here.”
Michael Wise, a Boulder resident and guest at the celebration, played on the same softball team as Bigoness when Bigoness first moved to Boulder. He described Bigoness as curious, social and fiercely loyal.
“In a lot of ways, he was my best friend,” said Wise. “I was looking forward to a lifelong friendship with him.”
Wise said he was amazed with the turnout Saturday evening and wished Bigoness could somehow see it.
“I just hope he knew how much he was loved,” Wise said.
A formal memorial service for Bigoness will be held in Chicago on Oct. 2. Flowers can be sent using the link legcy.co/3f6GDWa.

PITTSBURGH, May 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- "I'm a truck driver and classroom trainer for new drivers. The biggest fear I see for new drivers is reversing. I thought there could be an easier and less nerve-wracking way for inexperienced and experienced drivers to see their right-side blind spot when reversing," said an inventor, from Milton, Ga., "so I invented the SOLO PILOT. My design would help all truck drivers perform their job with more safety and precision and without the hassle of getting out of the cab to check the blind spot."
The invention provides a safe and convenient way to view the right-side blind spot and rear when reversing a tractor-trailer. In doing so, it enhances safety while eliminating guesswork. As a result, it helps to prevent accidents and unnecessary damage and it saves time and effort. The invention features a portable and weatherproof design that is easy to apply and use so it is ideal for trucking companies and truck drivers. Additionally, it is producible in design variations.
The original design was submitted to the Atlanta sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Viewers of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources EagleCam were heartbroken over the weekend as they watched strong winds from a severe weather system whip a nest holding a newly hatched eaglet out of a tree.
The nature livestream captured the moment the nest fell Sunday morning. A mother eagle crouched in the snow-filled nest as it swayed precariously in the wind. A branch snapped, and the nest collapsed as the mother flew backward. The young eagle was later found dead on the ground, the department said in a statement.
“I was actually crying,” said Denise Chung, who said she and her kids watched the nest fall in real time. She told The Associated Press it hit her particularly hard because she knew the eagle lost its baby. “I don’t know if it would have hit me so hard if I weren’t a mom.”
The nest weighed over 2,000 pounds (907 kilograms) and was over 20 years old, the statement said. The department said heavy snow that fell over the weekend — coupled with the weight of the nest — likely just became too much for the branch to support.
Minnesota's EagleCam has mesmerized viewers around the globe for years. People from 180 countries and all 50 U.S. states tuned in three years ago to watch other eaglets hatch, said Department of Natural Resources information officer Lori Naumann.
“During the pandemic, a lot of people couldn’t get outside," Naumann said. “So, they tended to turn to nature cameras for mental health improvement.”
Over 15,000 people are members of Facebook groups dedicated to Minnesota's EagleCam, including Chung, who told the AP that she has followed the EagleCam for about four years with her kids and husband.
Chung said she posted to Facebook after the nest fell because she couldn't get through to the Department of Natural Resources on the phone. She didn't know the department was already sending staff to help, so she wanted to alert others that the chick — which had just hatched days earlier — was in danger.
The adult eagles were seen flying around the area after the nest fell, the department's statement said. Though the nesting season is too short for the mother to lay another egg this year, the department said it is likely that the parents will rebuild in the same area because eagles are loyal to their territory.
“This is an emotional time for all of us, but please refrain from visiting the nest," the department said. “This was already a major disturbance for the eagles and many visitors will only cause more stress.”
The department said the camera will stay on for now.

A man has pleaded guilty to handling a bison calf in Yellowstone National Park in an incident that ultimately led to the calf's death, officials said on Wednesday.
Clifford Walters, a Hawaii resident, was charged with "one count of feeding, touching, teasing, frightening, or intentionally disturbing wildlife," according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Wyoming.
Walters paid over $1,000 in fines, including a $500 community service payment to Yellowstone's wildlife protection fund, the attorney's office said.
According to an initial report from the National Park Service, the newborn bison had been separated from his mother on May 20 as its herd was crossing the Lamar River.
Walters, observing the scene, tried to help the calf by pushing it up the bank, into the roadway, NPS said.
Park rangers repeatedly tried to reunite the calf with the herd, but the herd resisted, which is common when humans interfere with wildlife, NPS said.
The calf was later euthanized by park staff because it was "causing a hazardous situation by approaching cars and people along the roadway," according to a press release.
In reviewing the report, the attorney's office said there was nothing to suggest Walters "acted maliciously."
Why did Yellowstone have to euthanize the calf?
As the initial news of the calf's death broke last week, thousands of NPR readers responded on social media with concern, frustration and confusion. Many wanted to know: Did park rangers really need to euthanize the animal?
In a follow-up statement, NPS firmly defended its decision, saying that it made the choice "not because we are lazy, uncaring, or inexpert in our understanding of bison biology" but because "national parks preserve natural processes."
Even before news of the calf started gaining traction online, Yellowstone was clear on its policy of not rescuing and rehabilitating animals. It lists only a handful of situations in which it might intervene, including if Congress directs it to or if the long-term health of an ecosystem is at risk.
The fate of a sole bison calf — one of roughly 5,900 bison in the park — falls outside of that list.
"In fact, as many as 25% of the bison calves born this spring will die, but those deaths will benefit other animals by feeding everything from bears and wolves to birds and insects," NPS said in its second statement.
"Unfortunately, the calf's behavior on roads and around people was hazardous, so rangers had to intervene: but the calf's body was left on the landscape," the agency added.
Why couldn't the park bring the calf to an animal sanctuary?
NPS also pointed out that it's illegal to transport bison out of Yellowstone "unless those bison are going to meat processing or scientific research facilities."
The states of Montana, and, to a lesser extent, Wyoming, limit the transport of live bison in order to protect local livestock. Mass migrations of the species could damage local property, compete for local food supplies and spread brucellosis, a bacterial disease that only marginally affects bison but causes infertility and low milk production in domestic cows.
Brucellosis cases spiked in the U.S. in the mid-1900s, causing the U.S. Animal and Plant Inspection Service to implement nationwide livestock testing and vaccination requirements.
Today, the spread of brucellosis among Yellowstone's free-ranging bison is one of the issues monitored by the Interagency Bison Management Plan, a cooperative of eight groups, including federal agencies and tribal nations.
That group has agreed to start transferring some live bison to tribal nations as a way to restore herds outside of Yellowstone and manage the size of the park's own healthy herd. But any transferred bison have to first be quarantined and tested for brucellosis.
The testing process can be lengthy and expensive. (It took 17 months for the first transferred group to be tested in 2019 — and that was on top of eight years of working out the legal logistics to make it happen, NPS said.) In the end, only about 30% of animals qualify for the program.
"A newborn calf that's abandoned and unable to care for itself is not a good candidate for quarantine," the park said last week.
For anyone still looking for a good takeaway about preventing another unfortunate animal death, Yellowstone wants to underscore this one: "Give animals room to roam."

DALLAS — Students graduating from a historically Black college in East Texas were told at their commencement ceremony that an anonymous donor had paid their balances, officials said.
Wiley College said in a news release that over 100 students were gathered for graduation Saturday when the school's president, Herman J. Felton Jr., made the announcement, informing graduates they "do not owe the college a penny."
"If you have a balance, you had a balance," Felton Jr. said. "You no longer have a balance."
The college said in the news release that the estimated total for the balances owed to the college by the graduating class of 2022 was about $300,000.
“We are constantly communicating with donors to assist students in these ways so that they can begin their after-college experience with less debt,” Felton Jr. said.
The 2007 movie “The Great Debaters” starring Denzel Washington was inspired by debate in 1935 in which Wiley prevailed over the University of Southern California's nationally-known, powerhouse team at a time when the nation was heavily segregated. | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/wiley-college-marshall-texas-you-no-longer-have-a-balance-anonymous-donor-pays-the-tab-for-texas-graduates/287-23f55d91-f6af-465c-8bea-97d0e9f8f247 | 2022-05-09 19:41:47 | 0 | https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/wiley-college-marshall-texas-you-no-longer-have-a-balance-anonymous-donor-pays-the-tab-for-texas-graduates/287-23f55d91-f6af-465c-8bea-97d0e9f8f247 |

Earlier this month, the China Communist Party's top leadership body slightly relaxed the country's strict zero-COVID policies, raising a glimmer of hope that the government was seriously considering eventually lifting its public health controls.
But as COVID cases are once again on the rise across the country, cities are once again locking down thousands of neighborhoods, including in the capital of Beijing, and sending close contacts to quarantine centers — raising questions about how serious authorities are about one day fading out the zero-COVID policy.
"This is the typical policy dilemma that the Chinese leaders face," said Yanzhong Huang, a senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations at Seton Hall University in New Jersey. "When you relax and open up, it will lead to chaos, and when you tighten policy, it will be too rigid to allow any flexibility."
On Tuesday, China logged 28,883 new cases a day, a dramatic spike in a country that has grown accustomed to no more than a few hundred cases a day. Nearly half of the new cases are clustered in the southern city of Guangzhou and the southwestern municipality of Chongqing. Guangzhou ordered a five-day lockdown in its most populous Baiyun district until at least this Friday.
All 41,000 quarantine spots it had available were already filled as Chongqing raced to contain the newest outbreak, said Li Pan, deputy director of the Chongqing Health Commission at a news conference. The municipality announced it was speeding up the construction of new quarantine facilities capable of holding another 47,000 people. More than 5,000 construction workers labored around the clock to open a makeshift quarantine center within just five days.
Many Chinese cities have also resumed mass, mandatory COVID testing, reviving concerns about a faltering domestic economy and dampening hopes for a quick post-pandemic reopening. Earlier, many smaller localities had suspended such testing because they could no longer afford to keep paying for millions of tests a day.
The jump in cases this month has put local authorities in a bind: They have been tasked with both easing the burden of onerous COVID controls, yet simultaneously keep cases as close to zero as possible.
"Basically, you are telling the local government to pursue conflicting goals," said Huang.
In practice, cities are now imposing targeted lockdowns in all but name as they struggle to fulfill these competing objectives. Authorities are calling the measures "silent management" — meaning residents cannot leave their homes, go to work or travel.
Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan province, vociferously denied that one of its districts is under lockdown, but residents said on social media they were mandated to stay at home. Taiyuan, the provincial capital of central Shanxi province, is also under "silent management," meaning all businesses must shut down their in-person operations and only vehicles with special exemptions will be allowed on the road.
"At present, the city's epidemic prevention and control has reached the most strenuous and critical stage," an official city notice from Taiyuan read.
The port city of Tianjin, which has logged fewer than 200 cases, announced mass-testing for the whole city last Sunday, during which residents will not be allowed to leave their homes until they obtain proof of a negative test.
In Beijing, the nation's capital, all residents in the city's largest district of Chaoyang were told to avoid leaving the district due to a spike in cases. Shanghai further tightened rules for people entering the city on Tuesday night, following a surging number of cases after a major trade fair, with all those arriving now required to take four COVID tests within five days.
In China's more far-flung regions however, under-resourced local governments mean zero-COVID controls have never eased.
Hohhot, the capital city of Inner Mongolia, has been under lockdown since early October. The residents of the western region of Xinjiang have suffered the most draconian measures, with continuous lockdowns there now exceeding 100 days, including in its capital of Urumqi.
Such stringent lockdowns have led to social unrest. Early Wednesday, violent protests broke out at a Foxconn factory in central China, the world's biggest iPhone plant. Videos posted on social media show hundreds of factory workers clashing with security guards over lack of pay and what workers say are unfair COVID policies.
The restrictions and discontent have put a dent in production. Earlier this month, Apple said in a statement that it has temporarily reduced iPhone 14 production because of COVID-19 restrictions at its primary iPhone assembly plant in China.
The unrest highlights the tensions between Beijing's rigid COVID rules and its urge to resume the economy. But until further policy changes come from the central government, it seems hard for local authorities to find a balance.

Severe weather, including at least one reported tornado in Abbeville, has swept through Alabama Wednesday.
Jim Stefkovich, a meteorologist with the Alabama Emergency Management Agency, said there have been a couple of tornadoes Wednesday afternoon as well as damaging wind gusts near and north of I-20.
The north part of Alabama, including Huntsville, Decatur and Florence will remain under a slight risk for severe storms through Wednesday at 8 p.m. Higher risks are in central Alabama – including placed like Tuscaloosa, Montgomery, Birmingham and Auburn – through 3 a.m. Thursday. Risks will be higher in extreme south Alabama, including Mobile, through Thursday at 5 a.m.

There will be 2-4 hour lulls between each wave of storms through the night, Stefkovich said. The exception could be a nearly stationary boundary stretching from near the Tuscaloosa/Montgomery/ Eufaula line. Within 50 miles of either side of this line, numerous storms are possible in an almost continuous basis through the state.
Into the evening near and south of I-20, the potential continues for a few tornadoes, including some that could be up to EF2, pockets of straight-line wind gusts of 80 mph and baseball-sized hail. In addition, torrential rainfall could lead to flash flooding and flood watches are in effect across much of the state into Thursday.
Redevelopment of strong to severe thunderstorms along with torrential rainfall is expected generally south of Hwy 80 – I-85 between 1-8 p.m. Thursday. Straight-line winds and large hail will be the main threats. | https://www.al.com/news/2023/06/severe-weather-in-alabama-what-to-expect-overnight-thursday-morning.html | 2023-06-15 00:18:18 | 0 | https://www.al.com/news/2023/06/severe-weather-in-alabama-what-to-expect-overnight-thursday-morning.html |

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Africa’s public health body says it hopes Mpox vaccines will finally arrive on the continent “in another two weeks, tops” after months of seeking doses.
The doses will go first to countries with acute need and the largest overall burden, the acting director of the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Ahmed Ogwell, told journalists on Thursday. Congo and Nigeria have had the highest numbers of Mpox.
In July, the World Health Organization designated Mpox as a global emergency amid outbreaks in Europe and North America and appealed to the world to support African countries. But no rich countries shared vaccines or treatments with the African continent even as cases in other regions subsided.
Mpox has sickened people in parts of West and Central Africa since the 1970s but it wasn’t until the disease triggered the outbreaks in Europe and North America that public health officials even thought to use vaccines. Rich countries rushed to buy nearly all the world’s supply.
In early December, the Africa CDC said the continent was set to receive its first batch of 50,000 Mpox vaccines as a donation from South Korea and would be used first for health workers and people living in the hardest-hit areas.
Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox but renamed last year because of racism concerns, is a rare disease caused by infection with a virus that’s in the same family as the one that causes smallpox. It is endemic in parts of Africa, where people have been infected through bites from rodents or small animals, but it was not known to spread easily among people.
Since 2000, Africa has reported about 1,000 to 2,000 suspected Mpox cases every year but saw more than 3,000 last year.
Ogwell said the current outbreak “has been quite stable, not been changing a lot.”
Outside of Africa, nearly all cases have been in gay, bisexual or other men who have sex with men. | https://www.localsyr.com/health/ap-africa-cdc-expects-mpox-vaccines-to-arrive-within-2-weeks/ | 2023-02-16 21:57:33 | 0 | https://www.localsyr.com/health/ap-africa-cdc-expects-mpox-vaccines-to-arrive-within-2-weeks/ |
Lamborghini celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2023 and among the events planned is the launch of a trio of special editions based on the Huracán—one each for the STO, Tecnica, and Evo Spyder versions of the V-10 supercar.
Each special edition will have a production run of 60 units, and feature a “1 of 60” carbon-fiber plaque, as well as a “60th” script painted on the doors and embroidered on the seats. The cars will also feature specific color combinations.
The Huracán STO special has been designed to highlight the athletic nature of the track-focused model. As a result, its two available color combinations have been inspired by athletic sportswear or sport team colors. One combination features Blu (blue) Aegeus with accents in Blu Astraeus, which can be combined with exposed carbon-fiber elements with a Blu Mira finish. The second goes with Grigio (gray) Telesto and Nero (black) Noctis combined with exposed carbon fiber.
The Huracán Tecnica special has been designed to highlight Italy’s Tricolore flag and will offer buyers the choice between a combination of Grigio Telesto with Nero Noctis and Rosso (red) Mars accents, or a combination of Bianco (white) Asopo with Verde (green) Viper accents.
The last of the special editions is based on the Huracán Evo Spyder, and once again there are two combinations to choose from, which Lamborghini said are meant to highlight the lifestyle aspect of the droptop supercar. One combination features bodywork in Blu Le Mans with contrasting Bianco Isi accents. The other goes with a more expressive Verde Viper body combined with Bianco Isi accents.
The special editions make their formal debut on Friday at an event in Milan. Lamborghini hasn’t said how many build slots, if any, are reserved for customers in the U.S.
Lamborghini’s Huracán Sterrato revealed last December is officially the automaker’s last series production car powered purely by a combustion engine, but there will likely be more special-edition versions of the Huracán as well as the Urus before both models go the plug-in hybrid route like the Aventador-replacing Revuelto. The Huracán is expected to remain in production until late 2024, when it will be replaced by its plug-in hybrid successor.

Acclaimed Actor and Activist Jesse Williams to Hold Moderated Conversation Responding to NAAM's King Day Theme of "All, Here, and Now"
SEATTLE, Jan. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Northwest African American Museum (NAAM) will host a grand reopening and commemorate the King Day holiday on Monday, January 16, 2023. The event will feature guided tours of the galleries and exhibitions, screening of a Civil Rights film and an interactive video moderated conversation with Jesse Williams, actor, director, and activist noted for his role as executive producer of the powerful documentary film, Stay Woke: The Black Lives Matter Movement. With sponsorship support from Boeing and Union Bank, NAAM's reopening represents the return of the Museum to its physical space after a three-year closure due to the pandemic.
NAAM's King Day theme, "All, Here, and Now," is based on the words of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who said, "No, what we are saying to this nation is that we want all of our rights. We want them here, and we want all of them not next year, not next week, but we want them now, at this hour."
"NAAM is a resilient, innovative organization committed to our mission no matter what. We uplift, share, and celebrate Black stories, even when our doors are closed," noted LaNesha DeBardelaben, the President and CEO of the Northwest African American Museum. "We are thrilled to reopen our doors on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day with a robust program of activities offered all day for the entire family and community."
King Day at NAAM is free and open to the public, and donations are encouraged. The family-friendly event will begin at 11:00 a.m. and will feature activities for kids, including live art activations, soccer training with the Seattle Sounders, storytime, and face painting. The event will also include musical performances by NAAM's African American Cultural Ensemble (ACE) and will host a variety of speakers including spoken word artist Tia-Nache and local historian Dr. Daudi Abe. There will also be voter registration and a hygiene supply drive during the event. The celebration will continue in the early evening with an After Party featuring local deejay Chukundi "Kun Luv" Salisbury.
The featured exhibitions during NAAM's King Day reopening to be on view through June 19 include:
- Hallway of Healing and Hope – The exhibit tells the story of the Colman School building.
- Making a Way: Jacob Lawrence and the Northwest Black Experience – This exhibition celebrates the life and artistic legacy of Jacob Lawrence as a Northwest artist.
- The Colors of Life: African American Abstract Art and the Regathering of Community – This exhibition uses colorful abstract works by Northwest African and African American artists to resurrect our hope, connection, contemplation, and action as a community. Featured artists include LoMar Metoyer, Yeggy Michael, Shantell Jackson, Vincent Keele.
- A Long Walk to Hope: The Photography of Seattle's Martin Luther King, Jr. March – This exhibition showcases the energy and magnitude of Seattle's annual King Day march through photographs taken by photographer Susan Fried.
- Notables of the Northwest Hallway – A hallway featuring photos of notable African American musicians of the Northwest and a thoughtful quote from each of them.
NAAM is also partnering with the Onyx Fine Arts Collective to showcase works of five Black artists of the Collective: Asha Helmstetter, Johnny Harris, Eddie Reed, Ashby Reed, and Earnest D. Thomas.
"NAAM is an institution that captures our hopes and dreams in a world of pandemics and problems," said former Seattle Mayor Norman Rice and NAAM board member. "Our region is happy to see NAAM reopen. Our past and future are both there at NAAM, where excellent things are happening."
For more information about NAAM's King Day, please visit https://www.naamnw.org/king-day-2023.
The Northwest African American Museum (NAAM) is a regionally prestigious institution housed in the historic Colman School within Seattle's Central District. Since opening in 2008, hundreds of thousands of visitors have come to the museum to view exhibitions, participate in dynamic public programs, and take part in private events. As a premier African American museum in the region, NAAM fills a void in the regional cultural scene by offering a space where community members come to reflect, to gain perspective, to learn, listen, and heal. NAAM uses Black history, art, and culture as a starting point that inspires, empowers, and informs all visitors about ourselves and our shared past. NAAM's mission is to spread knowledge, understanding, and enjoyment of the histories, arts, and cultures of people of African descent for the enrichment of all.

Abandoned newborn dies after being found in vacant home, police say
FALMOUTH, Ky. (WXIX/Gray News) – An abandoned infant was found not breathing inside a vacant home in Kentucky earlier this month, according to the Falmouth Police Department.
Officers were called around 7:30 p.m. March 1 to respond to reports of an abandoned newborn.
Police said the baby was taken to the hospital where it was pronounced dead.
Falmouth Police Chief Marty Hart said officers found the newborn after the mother of the baby boy had gone to a nearby hospital and reported a miscarriage.
Nurses grew suspicious and called the police.
Hart said police are awaiting the preliminary autopsy report to determine if the infant was stillborn or was born alive.
Neighbors said crews had been working to repair the home but hadn’t seen anyone in the house otherwise.

Aroostook Agency on Aging announces Aroostook Memory Care Center
PRESQUE ISLE, Maine (WAGM) -
Almost 1 million dollars in federal grant money is coming to the Aroostook Agency on Aging. With that money, the agency is hoping to open the Aroostook Memory Care Center.
The Memory Care Center will create a county wide resource hub to help individuals impacted by memory loss and those who support them. Joy Barresi Saucier, Executive Director of the Aroostook Agency on Aging says the future Memory Care Center will be a game changer for individuals and families living with Alzheimer’s and related dementia.
“This creates a hub for all of Aroostook County that brings to bear all of the resources that we either already have or need to have so that individuals and families can make a plan and deal with a very difficult time in their life that they’re going through.

In honor of nine Arkansas students who dared to challenge racial segregation, the Easton Area School District will host its annual Little Rock Nine awards.
The June 2 ceremony will honor the achievements of 46 minority students in the district in grades six through 12, according to a news release. It will be the eighth annual installment of the awards ceremony.
The awards are in memory of nine Black students who enrolled in the all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Even though the Supreme Court ruled in 1954 that segregated schools were unconstitutional, most Arkansas public schools were still segregated.
The nine students entered the school with protection from federal troops on Sept. 25, 1957.
“Their courageous act remains as one of the most celebrated chapters of America’s civil rights movement,” said the news release from the school district.
This year’s alumni speaker is Dahjmir DeRohn, a former Cheston Elementary School student who graduated in 2020.
Closing remarks will be delivered by Jake Williams, a member of the Easton NAACP executive board of directors and the program director at the Easton Area Neighborhood Center.
The ceremony will be at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 2, at Easton Area Middle School, 1010 Echo Trail, Forks Township.
“We hope you will join us in celebrating the accomplishments of these remarkable students,” the school district’s release said.

MANTECA, Calif. — A Manteca family is trying to figure out how to fill a gaping hole left by the killing of 21-year-old Mekhi Richardson, a young father killed in broad daylight last week.
The Payne family of Manteca is known for getting together for no reason, and they wish this was one of those times.
"I keep trying to be strong," said Shirley Payne, Mekhi’s grandmother.
The family is slowly coming to grips with knowing the outgoing person they knew, who loved to ride horses, play football and tell goofy jokes, will no longer be around to make their day better.
"I'm still lost for words,” said Donald Payne, Mekhi’s father. “I'm still trying to find out and figure out more information."
Manteca police said they got the call last Monday afternoon of shots fired. When they arrived, they found Mekhi lying in the road. Despite efforts to save his life, he died on scene.
"I don't... understand, the family don't understand why someone would be awful and take a somebody's life over a slice of cake. Cake! That is what killed my grandson," said Shirley Payne.
She said they know this key fact because Mekhi's girlfriend was facetiming family during the incident. Shirley Payne said her grandson was there to pick up studio equipment at a friend's house and that friend allegedly shot him.
"He didn't deserve this," said Donald Payne.
Manteca police said they have made two arrests in this case. The main suspect, 21-year-old Marquis Williams, is facing a murder charge, and Troy Lewis, also 21, was charged for trying to conceal evidence.
The family is hoping their heartbreak serves as a lesson for others.
"You can't trust everybody,” said Donja Payne, Mekhi’s sister. “And when a person shows you those red flags, you have to take them seriously. Everybody is not your friend.”
"Be cautious who you choose. Be cautious,” said Donnese Payne, Mekhi’s sister.
Williams, the suspected shooter, is due in court June 21st.
The family is raising money for funeral expenses through GoFundMe.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The white man charged with carrying out a racist attack that killed 10 people and wounded three others at a Buffalo supermarket is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday on a 25-count indictment that includes state charges of murder and hate-motivated domestic terrorism.
Payton Gendron, 18, is due before Erie County Judge Susan Eagan for an afternoon hearing. He has been held without bail since allegedly using an AR-15-style assault rifle to target shoppers and employees of a Tops Friendly Market that authorities said he chose because of its location in a predominantly Black neighborhood.
All 10 people killed in the May 14 assault were Black. They ranged in age from 32 to 86.
An Erie County grand jury on Wednesday indicted Gendron on a domestic terrorism charge that carries a life sentence, along with 10 counts of first-degree murder, 10 counts of second-degree murder as a hate crime, criminal possession of a weapon and three counts of attempted murder as a hate crime.
The indictment built on a previous murder charge filed shortly after his arrest immediately following the attack. Gendron has pleaded not guilty.
The domestic terrorism charge — domestic acts of terrorism motivated by hate in the first degree — accuses Gendron of killing at least five people “because of the perceived race and/or color” of his victims.
Prosecutors said Gendron drove about three hours to Buffalo from his home in Conklin, New York, intending to kill as many Black people as possible. Shortly before opening fire, he posted documents that outlined his white supremacist views and revealed he had been planning the attack for months.
The shooting, followed 10 days later by a mass shooting that killed 19 children and two teachers inside an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, has renewed a national debate about gun control. | https://www.cbs42.com/news/national/buffalo-shooting-suspect-due-in-court-on-terror-hate-charge/ | 2022-06-02 17:47:10 | 1 | https://www.cbs42.com/news/national/buffalo-shooting-suspect-due-in-court-on-terror-hate-charge/ |
High Speed Chase Suspect Arrested in Moorhead After Numerous Attempts
MOORHEAD, Minn. (KVRR)– A number of agencies worked together to catch a high speed chase suspect early Monday morning in Moorhead.
Barnesville police used stop sticks to try and stop 28-year-old Amber Jahner of Dilworth around 1 a.m.
But Jahner kept driving on old highway 52 towards Moorhead and hit speeds of 100 miles per hour.
Stop sticks were deployed two more times by a Minnesota State Trooper and a Dilworth Police Officer.
But Jahner kept driving on four flat tires until she got into Moorhead and was finally stopped with a PIT maneuver on 34th Street.
Officers say she was uncooperative when taken into custody.
Jahner was arrested for felony fleeing and 5th degree controlled substance. | https://www.kvrr.com/2023/07/17/high-speed-chase-suspect-arrested-in-moorhead-after-numerous-attempts/ | 2023-07-18 02:42:07 | 0 | https://www.kvrr.com/2023/07/17/high-speed-chase-suspect-arrested-in-moorhead-after-numerous-attempts/ |
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP)Chrislyn Carr scored 15 points to lead No. 7 Louisville to an 84-62 win over IUPUI on Thursday night.
The Cardinals (2-0) shot 55.9% in the first half and led by as much as 44-27 in the second quarter. The Jaguars (0-2) were able to cut the deficit to 51-42 with 8:16 left in the third quarter after a 3-pointer by Rachel Kent. Louisville responded with an 18-2 run over the rest of the quarter.
”I think we came out a little slow and a step late in the third quarter, and after that first timeout was called, we had to jump each other’s butt a little bit,” guard Hailey Van Lith said. ”We just started playing our type of defense and created chaos.”
That chaos allowed the Cardinals to increase their lead to 75-44 with 7:56 remaining.
Louisville has won its first two games by an average of 20.5 points, but coach Jeff Walz said his team still has room to grow.
”I thought we looked really good. Then, at times, I thought we look poor,” he said. ”We’ve got to do a much better job communicating at the defensive end of the floor.”
Carr added a team-high five assists as Louisville had 11 players score. Van Lith had 12 points and 10 rebounds, all of which came off the defensive glass. Olivia Cochran scored 11 points, and freshman Nyla Harris added 11 points and six boards in 16 minutes.
Kate Bruce, IUPUI’s first-year coach, said her team was focused on trying to stop Van Lith.
”They had other players step up for them,” she said.
Kent led IUPUI with 17 points. The Jaguars shot 32.3% from the field, largely due to missing 14 straight shots as Louisville pulled away in the second half. They also committed 18 turnovers.
PAINTING SUCCESS
Louisville has shown a knack for scoring inside. In Monday’s opener against Cincinnati, the Cardinals scored 48 points in the paint.
On Thursday, Louisville scored 50 and did it even as starting forward Liz Dixon battled early foul trouble. One reason for that was Harris, a 6-2 freshman. She scored nine points in seven first-half minutes, including six on layups. In the second half, she pulled down five rebounds in nine minutes.
Van Lith said the five-star recruit has shown the ability to be a role player for the deep Cardinals.
”As a young player, to have someone with that type of maturity that’s willing to accept a role, it is a little bit rare nowadays,” Van Lith said. ”So, we really appreciate her being willing to sacrifice for us and not always do the pretty stuff but the gritty stuff.”
BIG PICTURE
IUPUI: Last year’s Horizon Conference champions have a new coach and must replace three starters from a squad that gave Oklahoma a scare in last year’s NCAA Tournament. The new-look Jaguars ran out of gas in the second half.
Louisville: The Cardinals have shown they’ll be able to put the ball in the bucket in their first two games, but one potential concern may be their perimeter defense. After Cincinnati made 9 of 13 3-pointers Monday, IUPUI made 6 of 14 in the first half. The Jaguars slumped in the second half but still made 10 of 26 3s for the game.
Walz said the main issue is players closing out short on shooters.
”We’re overhelping at times for no reason when someone’s not beat, which then instead of peeling out to get to the shooter, we’re sucking in,” he said.
UP NEXT
IUPUI plays at Butler on Sunday.
Louisville plays at Belmont on Sunday night.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA’s Orion capsule made a blisteringly fast return from the moon Sunday, parachuting into the Pacific off Mexico to conclude a test flight that should clear the way for astronauts on the next lunar flyby.
The incoming capsule hit the atmosphere at Mach 32, or 32 times the speed of sound, and endured reentry temperatures of 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit (2,760 degrees Celsius) before splashing down west of Baja California near Guadalupe Island. A Navy ship quickly moved in to recover the spacecraft and its silent occupants — three test dummies rigged with vibration sensors and radiation monitors.
NASA hailed the descent and splashdown as close to perfect, as congratulations poured in from Washington..
“I’m overwhelmed,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said from Mission Control in Houston. “This is an extraordinary day … It’s historic because we are now going back into space — deep space — with a new generation.”
The space agency needed a successful splashdown to stay on track for the next Orion flight around the moon, targeted for 2024 with four astronauts who will be revealed early next year. That would be followed by a two-person lunar landing as early as 2025 and, ultimately, a sustainable moon base. The long-term plan would be to launch a Mars expedition by the late 2030s.
Astronauts last landed on the moon 50 years ago. After touching down on Dec. 11, 1972, Apollo 17′s Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt spent three days exploring the valley of Taurus-Littrow, the longest stay of the Apollo era. They were the last of the 12 moonwalkers.
Orion was the first capsule to visit the moon since then, launching on NASA’s new mega moon rocket from Kennedy Space Center on Nov. 16. It was the first flight of NASA’s new Artemis moon program, named after Apollo’s mythological twin sister.
“From Tranquility Base to Taurus-Littrow to the tranquil waters of the Pacific, the latest chapter of NASA’s journey to the moon comes to a close. Orion back on Earth,” announced Mission Control commentator Rob Navias.
While no one was on the $4 billion test flight, NASA managers were thrilled to pull off the dress rehearsal, especially after so many years of flight delays and busted budgets. Fuel leaks and hurricanes conspired for additional postponements in late summer and fall.
In an Apollo throwback, NASA held a splashdown party at Houston’s Johnson Space Center on Sunday, with employees and their families gathering to watch the broadcast of Orion’s homecoming. Next door, the visitor center threw a bash for the public.
Getting Orion back intact after the 25-day flight was NASA’s top objective. With a return speed of 25,000 mph (40,000 kph) — considerably faster than coming in from low-Earth orbit — the capsule used a new, advanced heat shield never tested before in spaceflight. To reduce the gravity or G loads, it dipped into the atmosphere and briefly skipped out, also helping to pinpoint the splashdown area.
All that unfolded in spectacular fashion, officials noted, allowing for Orion’s safe return.
“I don’t think any one of us could have imagined a mission this successful,” said mission manager Mike Sarafin.
Further inspections will be conducted once Orion is back at Kennedy by month’s end. If the capsule checks find nothing amiss, NASA will announce the first lunar crew amid considerable hoopla in early 2023, picking from among the 42 active U.S. astronauts stationed at Houston’s Johnson Space Center.
“People are anxious, we know that,” Vanessa Wyche, Johnson’s director, told reporters. Added Nelson: “The American people, just like (with) the original seven astronauts in the Mercury days, are going to want to know about these astronauts.”
The capsule splashed down more than 300 miles (482 kilometers) south of the original target zone. Forecasts calling for choppy seas and high wind off the Southern California coast prompted NASA to switch the location.
Orion logged 1.4 million miles (2.25 million kilometers) as it zoomed to the moon and then entered a wide, swooping orbit for nearly a week before heading home.
It came within 80 miles (130 kilometers) of the moon twice. At its farthest, the capsule was more than 268,000 miles (430,000 kilometers) from Earth.
Orion beamed back stunning photos of not only the gray, pitted moon, but also the home planet. As a parting shot, the capsule revealed a crescent Earth — Earthrise — that left the mission team speechless.
Nottingham Trent University astronomer Daniel Brown said the flight’s many accomplishments illustrate NASA’s capability to put astronauts on the next Artemis moonshot.
“This was the nail-biting end of an amazing and important journey for NASA’s Orion spacecraft,” Brown said in a statement from England.
The moon has never been hotter. Just hours earlier Sunday, a spacecraft rocketed toward the moon from Cape Canaveral. The lunar lander belongs to ispace, a Tokyo company intent on developing an economy up there. Two U.S. companies, meanwhile, have lunar landers launching early next year.

In 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, acting on input from a group of veterinary researchers, began investigating whether the increasing popularity of grain-free dog foods had led to a sudden rise in a potentially fatal heart disease in dogs, dilated cardiomyopathy.
Four years later, the FDA has found no firm link between diet and dilated cardiomyopathy. Nor has it rejected such a link, and research is ongoing. Publicity surrounding this issue, nevertheless, has shrunk the once-promising market for grain-free dog foods.
Furthermore, a tangled web of industry funding and interests appears to have influenced the origin, data collection, and course of the FDA study, according to internal FDA records.
A six-month investigation by 100Reporters has found that veterinarians who prompted the FDA to consider diet have financial and other ties to the leading sellers of grain-inclusive pet foods. Additionally, agency records show that for the initial study, some vets were instructed to submit only dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) cases that implicated grain-free, “exotic” or “boutique” pet foods. Suppliers of ingredients used in grain-free dog foods have also exerted pressure on the FDA to protect their market.
Consequently, the conversation around DCM and grain-free food is deeply divided, with each side claiming the other is prioritizing industry relationships over scientific integrity and the lives of pets.
“This became such an emotional issue,” said Dana Brooks, CEO of the Pet Food Institute, whose members produce most pet foods in the US. “We’re scrambling to try to even determine what’s going on.”
CAUSE FOR CONCERN
Grain-free pet diets became popular in the early 2000s, relying heavily on pulses — seeds from legume plants including peas, beans and lentils. By 2019, grain-free kibble represented 43 percent of dry pet foods sold.
Until 2017, the FDA saw one to three reports of DCM annually. But between January 1 and July 10, 2018, it received 25 cases. Seven reports came from a single source, animal nutritionist Lisa Freeman from Tufts University’s Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, an FDA spokesperson said. FDA records obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, however, indicate those reports may not have been fully representative of cases seen at the Tufts clinic.
In a June 2018 email to FDA veterinary medical officer Jennifer Jones, Freeman attached a document instructing vets to report cases to the FDA, “If patient is eating any diet besides those made by well-known, reputable companies or if eating a boutique, exotic ingredient, or grain-free (BEG) diet.”
When asked if this could be perceived as cherry-picking data that would shape the inquiry, Freeman stated through Tufts media relations: “The protocol in that email was developed for and intended to help veterinary cardiologists in the early stages of the investigation into potential associations between diet and dilated cardiomyopathy.”
“I shared the protocol with the FDA to inform them of what our clinical recommendations for patients were at that time,” Freeman wrote, noting they’re “continuing to study” any diet with ingredients linked to DCM “regardless of manufacturer.”
In an email, an FDA spokesperson wrote, “The FDA has never requested that DCM cases reported to the agency be limited to certain diet types. We welcome all DCM reports with a suspected link to food, regardless of the type of diet.”
According to PubMed.gov, Freeman has received funding from leading sellers of grain-inclusive foods, including Nestle Purina Petcare, Hill’s Pet Nutrition, and Mars Petcare, since 2002. Her recent conflict-of-interest declarations state: “In the last 3 years, Dr. Freeman has received research funding from, given sponsored lectures for, and/or provided professional services to Aratana Therapeutics, Elanco, Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Nestlé Purina PetCare, P&G Pet Care (now Mars), and Royal Canin.”
Industry funding is common in animal nutrition science. Freeman said she stands behind her research and has “ transparently disclosed the sources of funding for the work I conduct on this topic.”
Two veterinary cardiologists—Darcy Adin from the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine and Joshua Stern from the University of California, Davis School of Veterinary Medicine—also collaborated with the FDA.
Emails from a public records request indicate that in April 2018, Jones spoke with Freeman, Stern and Adin about grain-free dog foods and DCM and requested spreadsheets of their clinical case data.
Adin has been involved in studies funded by Purina since 2018 and, since 2017, by the Morris Animal Foundation, an animal health charity created by the founder of Hill’s and chaired by a Hill’s employee.
University of Florida’s public relations said neither Adin nor the university received direct financial support from the companies for these studies.
Stern has authored studies funded by the Morris Animal Foundation since 2011, and currently receives funding from the foundation.
“I completely understand conflict-of-interest concerns with people being funded by the pet food industry,” Stern said. “It’s hard to find a veterinary nutritionist that hasn’t done research for pet food companies.”
Purina, Hill’s and Mars didn’t respond to multiple requests for comment.
In July 2018, the FDA announced its investigation, noting many of the 25 dogs diagnosed lacked a genetic predisposition to DCM. The common thread, it said, appeared to be a grain-free diet.
A year later, the FDA took the unusual step of naming 16 dog foods, nearly all grain-free, that appeared most frequently in their DCM case reports. “We’ve never seen anything like that before without a certainty of the cause,” said Brooks.
Joseph Bartges, professor of animal nutrition at the University of Georgia, wasn’t surprised, noting the FDA flagged grain-free food early on. “When you only look for what you want to see, you only see what you look for,” Bartges said. By July 2020, reports of DCM numbered 1,100 — likely resulting from the FDA encouraging people to report the disease," said Brooks.
INFLUENTIAL INDUSTRY
Suppliers of ingredients for grain-free foods, in turn, marshaled forces to protect their market share.
In its 2019 annual report, the USA Dry Pea & Lentil Council said it “convinced the FDA to clarify their language about their concerns and minimize the damage to the industry.”
In a 2019 letter to FDA officials, Sen. Jon Tester from Montana — a principal growing region for pulses— complained the agency’s “unsubstantiated warning” had hurt pulse farmers. The following year, seven senators signed another letter to the FDA flagging potential “bias about causation of this disease.”
The FDA has continuously stated that DCM involves multiple factors. Shortly after that letter, Steven Solomon, director of the FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM), emphasized this point, describing DCM as “a scientifically complex, multifaceted issue,” adding that “we . . . currently do not view this as a regulatory issue.”
An FDA spokesperson wrote that while it met with stakeholders, “Ultimately, all FDA decisions and work are guided by science, data, and our public health mission.”
Regardless of the investigation’s ultimate findings, sales of grain-free dry dog foods have fallen since June 2018 and decreased by $60 million from 2021 to 2022. Meanwhile, grain-inclusive sales spiked in 2019 and rose by $700 million from 2020 to 2021.
Getting an answer about DCM will be difficult thanks to the complexity of the science and industry influence, said Marion Nestle, author of Pet Food Politics. “They’re all trying to protect their market share.”

After seeing all of the stormy conditions yesterday due to a low pressure system . . . . . it has sure been nice to see Canadian high pressure move into our area on our Friday. This cleared out the rain and thunderstorms and gave our area gradual clearing today. Along with some much colder temperatures across our area. Most of our temperatures on our Friday were in the middle 40s to lower 50s for high temperatures. We saw wind chills in the 30s and colder for most of the day with strong winds throughout the day.
We will see one more really cold night tonight and then we start a nice warming trend on our Saturday. We will stay dry due to the high pressure dominance of our weather forecast all the way through our Monday afternoon.
By later on Monday we will see a few low pressure systems try to move into our area over a several day time period. This will give our area some good chances for some rain and thunderstorms. At times we may see some heavy rain and at times we may see some hefty thunderstorms. We will fine tune this weather forecast as needed as we go through the next several days. | https://www.wtva.com/news/top-stories/staying-dry-and-just-a-little-bit-warmer-for-our-saturday/article_127ad91a-af22-11ed-87d4-eb724aa6567e.html | 2023-02-18 01:08:52 | 0 | https://www.wtva.com/news/top-stories/staying-dry-and-just-a-little-bit-warmer-for-our-saturday/article_127ad91a-af22-11ed-87d4-eb724aa6567e.html |

The average long-term U.S. mortgage rate fell to its lowest level in more than four months, giving some relief to homebuyers faced with higher prices for just about everything, including homes.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported Thursday that the average on the benchmark 30-year rate inched down to 6.13% from 6.15% last week. A year ago the average rate was 3.55%.
The average long-term rate reached a two-decade high of 7.08% in late October and early November as the Federal Reserve continued to raise its key lending rate in a bid to cool the economy and tame inflation.
The big rise in mortgage rates during the past year has throttled the housing market, with sales of existing homes falling for 11 straight months to the lowest level in more than a decade.
The National Association of Realtors said last week that existing U.S. home sales totaled 5.03 million last year, a 17.8% decline from 2021. That is the weakest year for home sales since 2014 and the biggest annual decline since 2008, during the housing crisis of the late 2000s.
Though home prices have retreated as demand has declined, they are still more than 10% higher than a year ago. Higher prices and a doubling of mortgage rates have made homebuying much less affordable for many people, but recent rate declines could give some homebuyers new hope.
At its final meeting of 2022, the Federal Reserve raised its rate 0.50 percentage points, its seventh increase last year. That pushed the central bank’s key rate to a range of 4.25% to 4.5%, its highest level in 15 years.
Though inflation at the consumer level has declined for six straight months, Fed officials have signaled that they may raise the central bank’s main borrowing rate another three-quarters of a point in 2023, which would be in a range of 5% to 5.25%.
Rates for 30-year mortgages usually track the moves in the 10-year Treasury yield, which lenders use as a guide to pricing loans. Investors’ expectations for future inflation, global demand for U.S. Treasurys and what the Federal Reserve does with interest rates can also influence the cost of borrowing for a home.
The rate for a 15-year mortgage, popular with those refinancing their homes, also fell this week, to 5.17% from 5.28% last week. It was 2.80% one year ago. | https://cw33.com/business/ap-business/ap-average-long-term-mortgage-rate-at-lowest-level-in-4-months/ | 2023-01-27 12:58:25 | 1 | https://cw33.com/business/ap-business/ap-average-long-term-mortgage-rate-at-lowest-level-in-4-months/ |
New research sheds light on the importance of training to drive healthier posture
NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- DarioHealth Corp. (NASDAQ: DRIO), a leader in the global digital therapeutics (DTx) market, announced today new research examining the link between the use of Dario's biofeedback device to help users improve their posture and reduced back pain at the International Association of the Study of Pain (IASP) 2022 World Congress on Pain, being held in person in Toronto, Ontario from September 19th – 23rd and virtually.
The new research examined the connection between users of Dario's posture trainer, posture awareness and the impact on levels of pain. Dario's posture training solution, part of the Dario Move suite of musculoskeletal solutions, helps users develop better posture through the use of a wearable biofeedback sensor that vibrates when the user is in a slouching position. Over the course of time, this trains users, helping them to develop awareness and adoption of proper posture.
Dario analyzed the data from close to 1,000 individuals who reported high levels of pain in their initial assessment and who conducted six or more hours a week of posture training for at least eight weeks. This rich data set allowed researchers to demonstrate that increased time wearing the posture trainer was predictive of posture quality which, in turn, was predictive of the level of pain, establishing the linkage between postural digital biofeedback technology and back pain reduction.
"Dario's posture trainer is proven to help users reduce back pain, and with this new research we now better understand the connection between device, training and results. With this new research, we can now better support people by looking at engagement in posture training as the key to predicting success," said Yifat Hershcovitz, PhD., Vice President of Clinical and Scientific Affairs at Dario and supervisor of the studies.
"Dario's approach to research involves both testing the efficacy of solutions as well as seeking to understand the mediators of clinical improvement. This new research illuminates an important mechanism by which Dario solutions improve pain in our users," said Omar Manejwala, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Dario
The research was conducted in partnership with the Integrative Pain Laboratory, School of Public Health at the University of Haifa.

TERBOL, Lebanon — Inside a large freezer room at the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas, tens of thousands of seeds are stored at a constant temperature of minus-4 degrees Fahrenheit. After being threshed and cleaned, the seeds are placed inside small, sealed foil packets and stored on rows of heavy, sliding metal shelves.
Some of them may hold keys to helping the planet's food supply adapt to climate change.
The gene bank can hold as many as 120,000 varieties of plants. Many of the seeds come from crops as old as agriculture itself. They're sown by farmers in the Fertile Crescent region, where cultivation began some 11,000 years ago. Other seeds were deposited by researchers who've hiked in the past four decades through forests and mountains in the Middle East, Asia and North Africa, searching for wild relatives of wheat, legumes and other crops that are important to the human diet.
The research center, formed in the 1970s, once mostly helped farmers in poorer countries in hot, dry climates. But now it also sends seeds to scientists in Europe, Canada and the United States, helping lead to breakthroughs in improving certain crops' resilience to the effects of climate change.
"What we are collecting is a sample of the diversity that we have in nature," says Mariana Yazbek, who manages the gene bank. Yazbek calls the center an "insurance policy" for humanity — it saves seeds in case nuclear war or other catastrophic events should wipe out plant species.
The center replicates the seeds it collects by planting and harvesting them in the fields that surround it in the Bekaa valley. ICARDA then sends a copy to the Global Seed Vault, also known as the "doomsday vault," in Svalbard, Norway, an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean.
And the seeds that ICARDA — which is funded by governments and international organizations — sends to scientists around the world are used to develop new varieties of crops such as wheat that can tolerate heat and drought.
"These wild relatives of crops have been evolving on Earth for millions of years, and they witnessed so many different climates," says Yazbek. "The traits that help them adapt and survive in these conditions is stored in their DNA. We have this diversity and it can be a tool to help us face the future."
The seed bank's original home was in Syria
The wealth of genetic material in ICARDA's seed bank might have been lost if not for a dramatic rescue effort a decade ago by its employees.
The seed bank was originally housed in Syria, at a center close to Aleppo. But then civil war began in 2011, and rebels opposing the Syrian government and Islamic extremists took over parts of the country. At least one ICARDA researcher was kidnapped; others were shot at. Armed men stole the organization's flock of over 300 sheep being bred for research.
Hassan Machlab, an ICARDA country manager in Lebanon, recalls that employees were able to locate 125 of the animals by searching livestock markets and bring them across to Lebanon, where they peacefully munch hay in their stalls these days.
Raffat Azzo, a researcher with ICARDA who specializes in barley breeds, managed to save his entire collection of thousands of plant specimens as warplanes flew overhead. He hired a bus, onto which he loaded hundreds of boxes of different barley seed varieties. The journey to Lebanon involved crossing multiple front lines. "It wasn't simple," Azzo recalls. But he believes it was worth the risk. "The seeds we saved are now fighting climate change."
The seeds are helping farmers in Europe and the U.S.
After leaving Syria, ICARDA established a gene bank in Morocco as well as in Lebanon. The organization now runs centers for agricultural projects in more than a dozen other countries around the world.
In Lebanon, ICARDA is housed in a collection of low buildings with orange tiled roofs, surrounded by fields of experimental grains in the Bekaa valley. The work there continues despite the country's descent into what the World Bank calls one of the worst economic crises of modern times. The center has multiple diesel generators to keep the seed bank running during the power outages that have become a daily reality in the country.
Despite these challenges, ICARDA's Lebanon center remains an important hub.
Fouad Maalouf, a legume breeder, collaborates with scientists in more than 30 European countries including France, the U.K. and Italy. He takes the seeds ICARDA researchers collect from the wild and from local farmers and tests them for disease and crossbreeds them in experimental crops planted around the center. He then shares seeds from these plants with scientists in these countries that use their genes to develop new crops of chickpeas, lentils and other varieties of legume.
Maalouf says the scientists are particularly interested in legumes as a crop now because these plants capture a lot of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. They also release nitrogen into the soil, meaning the farmers have to use less chemical fertilizer. And legumes take very little water to grow, he says. "So you are saving the environment, and second, you save water."
ICARDA's work is also helping farmers in the U.S. Dil Thavarajah, a professor at Clemson University, has worked with ICARDA researchers for over a decade, exploring ways to improve the nutritional quality of lentils. One of her discoveries, using lentil seeds native to the Mediterranean sent by the organization, could even help tackle obesity. Thavarajah extracted genetic material from which her team then bred crops that contain low digestible carbohydrates, also known as prebiotic carbohydrates; these compounds help regulate a person's weight via modulating gut health.
The legume seeds also contain a particular trait that produces sugar alcohols that act as humectants, a substance that attracts and absorbs moisture and "saves the plant from freezing or saves the plant from drying out," says Thavarajah. This is important because climate change is making growing seasons more unpredictable, with more extreme swings in weather. Thavarajah says using ICARDA'S seeds she developed legumes that — for the first time — can grow in South Carolina in the winter. She says this new winter crop is now being introduced in states across the American south.
In another case, a wheat seed collected in Iran and then stored and saved from the war in Syria, has allowed scientists in the U.S. to develop new wheat varieties resistant to the Hessian fly, a pest that causes tens of millions of dollars in damage to American crops every year.
Back at the seed bank in Lebanon, Mariana Yazbek looks over the tens of thousands of collected species. A major challenge, she says, is deciding which of the seeds collected from nature and local crops to store. Then it takes years of research to identify their unique properties. She says thousands of the seeds in the gene bank remain untested.
With such a large collection in ICARDA's seed vault, Yazbek says, this is only the beginning of the help ancient grains and legumes can give farmers in a changing climate.

Human activity could lead to ‘insect apocalypse,’ study says
(CNN) – Some areas of the world could be heading toward an “insect apocalypse.”
Researchers at the University College London released a new study looking at 20 years of data from more than 6,000 locations.
They also studied nearly 18,000 insect species including butterflies, grasshoppers, dragonflies and bees.
Researchers found that extreme land use combined with warming temperatures are pushing some insect ecosystems toward collapse.
Some areas around the world have already seen a nearly 50% drop in insect populations, with the number of species cut by 27%.
The study’s lead author Charlotte Outhwaite says losing insect populations would threaten global food production due to the important role they play in local ecosystems.
Scientists also say they don’t know when the point of no return is but the findings could be the tip of the iceberg due to limited data in some regions.

VANCOUVER, Canada, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- GenXys, the award-winning global leader in precision prescribing software with embedded pharmacogenetic (PGx) capability, recently solidified deals with three North American laboratory companies – Inagene, SRx Health and Immunogenomics of Texas. Two of these labs use the cutting-edge Agena Bioscience MassARRAY® System genetic testing platform, which works seamlessly with the GenXys agnostic platform.
"By teaming up with leading laboratories, GenXys' solutions are volumizing pharmacogenetics and enabling this important patient data set to be integrated into mainstream clinical practice in a meaningful and useable way for precision prescribing," says Karl Pringle, CEO of GenXys. "All signs point to the societal necessity of implementing pharmacogenetic testing. Smart clinical decision support software is required to ensure successful adoption across multiple populations to improve patient safety and remove prescribing inequality."
The need for clinical PGx testing has been emphasized by stakeholders that include legislators, litigation settlements, and most recently by the former Chairman of the United Kingdom's National Health Service, Lord David Prior. Additionally, at a recent GenXys webinar, Professor Sir Munir Pirmohamed said: "I don't see pharmacogenetics as something that is going to be static. It's just one piece of the puzzle. I see pharmacogenomics expanding in many different ways with new drug targets, new sorts of variants being identified, but the use of polygenic risk scores as well as part of pharmacogenomics in the future."
GenXys' precision prescribing software with embedded PGx has been designed to be PGx test agnostic, meaning any molecular lab offering PGx testing can have the data flow into the GenXys platform in conjunction with other patient factors, which in turn informs a doctor or pharmacist to what the safest and most effective medication options are. The software is easy to implement and the benefit provided is immense to all stakeholders in the delivery of healthcare.
Adverse drug reactions (ADR) are unintended, harmful, and potentially fatal reactions resulting from the use of certain medications, and they are the top five leading causes of death in every major western country. Research in the USA and the UK shows that between 5-10% of patients experience ADR during or after hospital care, regardless of any prevention methods taken. With proper use of PGx embedded in precision prescribing software, these ADRs can be prevented and reduced.
GenXys, with a presence across North America, provides the world's most comprehensive precision prescribing solutions with embedded pharmacogenetics to solve one of healthcare's biggest challenges: inappropriate ("trial-and-error") prescribing. GenXys' clinical decision support software suite is in use by major insurance providers, health systems, and pharmacies across North America. Ongoing global clinical studies are paving the way into geographical markets to enable GenXys to realize its vision of powering every prescription with its software to increase patient safety, improve population health, and reduce healthcare costs. genxys.com

Watch: Santa Claus visits babies in hospital NICUs
In between getting ready for his big night, Santa Claus, along with Buddy the Elf, took some time away to visit babies in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Santa made a special trip to NICU units in Kansas City hospitals on Friday to meet some preemie babies and their families.
Many of these families have spent weeks in the NICU and Santa hopes this visit will brighten their holidays just a bit.
"It's really difficult having any time with a child in the intensive care unit for families and especially during the holidays so if we can bring a little Christmas cheer, maybe take your mind off the stress that they're going through," Santa said.
Buddy passed out candy canes to everyone and Santa took pictures with the babies.
It's the 13th year of Santa's holiday visit. He'll hit several Kansas City hospitals on this day, seeing more than 70 babies and visiting with their families.
"She has three brothers at home, too, so you know it's hard having to be here with her and away from them," mother Crystal Trinkle said.
"It definitely gave me something to look forward to, something fun," said mother Alieya Wright.
"We want nothing more out of Christmas then to be here sharing it with these families and helping them through this difficult time," Santa said.

PBSO: Woman in custody after deputy-involved shooting, another hit by U-Haul
Two people are in custody after a deputy-involved shooting that also involved a deputy hit by a U-Haul truck and chase with Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office personnel early Sunday morning.
Shortly before 4 a.m., deputies handled a traffic stop on a stolen U-Haul truck in the 200 block of Parkwood Drive, PBSO said. A man was arrested.
While deputies were with the suspect, a female passenger slid into the driver's seat and fled the scene, PBSO said.
Shortly before 5 a.m., the stolen pickup truck was located at the Royal Inn Hotel at 675 Royal Palm Beach Blvd.
As deputies were trying to make contact with the female, she fled the area and drove toward the deputy, striking him with the vehicle. The deputy discharged his firearm.
The female fled the scene, driving north on Royal Palm Beach Blvd where she crashed into the fence of a home on Persimmon Boulevard and Royal Palm Beach Boulevard.
The woman exited the vehicle and ran toward the back of the residence. Deputies gave chase and she was quickly apprehended. The woman suffered a gunshot wound to the leg and was transported to a local hospital where she was treated and interviewed by investigators, PBSO said. She then will be transported to the county's jail.
According to PBSO, she has outstanding out-of-state warrants.
The deputy was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
The deputy-involved shooting is being investigated by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, PBSO Violent Crimes detectives and the State Attorney’s Office investigators. The deputy is on administrative leave, which is standard department protocol.
WPTV journalists Briana Nespral and Jasmine Roby were at both scenes early in the morning
At the locations where the chase ended, homeowner Carlos Avalos told WPTV abut the ordeal.
He said he woke up to a pickup crashing into his fence before 5 a.m.
"I heard the bang," Avalos said. "I didn’t think much of it and then I heard the footsteps and the screaming of the police officers through my windows. That was the part that woke me up.
"It’s awakening that you don’t want to have. You hear people screaming for help. You look outside and your house is surrounded by cops. It’s scary."
Albert Pantaleon, a guest at the Royal Inn, also woke up to an incident.
“It was like 4:30 this morning and there were like six gunshots," Pantaleon told WPTV. "Within 5 minutes or so, I heard the police sirens.”
At the hotel, multiple people said they didn't have water after a vehicle ran over a line. Palm Beach County Water Utilities was on the scene.

LUCASVILLE, Ohio — Two vehicles stolen from Huntington and Ashland were involved in police chases and crashes in Scioto County last week, according to a report from the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Officers of the patrol, notified by the Scioto County Sheriff's Office, were involved in a chase Thursday on U.S. 23 in the Lucasville area, according to the report.
The first vehicle, a 2017 Kia Soul, ran into concrete bridge abutments at the intersection of U.S 23 and Houston Hollow-Long Run. The driver, a 15-year-old, initially ran from the scene but was eventually taken to Southern Ohio Medical Center in Portsmouth with non-life threatening injuries from the crash, according to the report.
The Kia reportedly was stolen from the parking lot of a Huntington hospital, according to the release.
The second vehicle, a 2011 black Hyundai Elantra believed to have been stolen from Ashland, headed southbound on U.S. 23 with a trooper and a deputy in pursuit. Shortly after entering the Portsmouth city limits the driver of the Hyundai traveled left of center, striking a 2015 Dodge Challenger that was headed northbound, according to the release.
The 17-year-old driver was taken into custody along with two passengers aged 19 and 22. All three were transported to the medical center with non-life threatening injuries along with the driver of the other vehicle, according to the release.
The two juveniles, both from Kentucky, are reported runaways. The 15-year-old is from Boyd County, according to the release, and the other two were from Kenova.

The class action, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and docketed under 22-cv-04529, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities other than Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired Unisys securities between August 3, 2022 and November 7, 2022, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), seeking to recover damages caused by Defendants' violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, against the Company and certain of its top officials
If you are a shareholder who purchase or otherwise acquired Unisys securities, you have until January 10, 2023 to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this action, contact Robert S. Willoughby at newaction@pomlaw.com or 888.476.6529 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll-free, Ext. 7980. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address, telephone number, and the number of shares purchased.
Unisys, together with its subsidiaries, operates as an information technology services company worldwide. The Company operates in Digital Workplace Solutions; Cloud and Infrastructure Solutions; and Enterprise Computing Solutions segments.
On August 3, 2022, in a press release announcing the Company's Q2 2022 financial results, the Company provided its 2022 financial guidance, stating, in relevant part, "[r]evenue growth is now expected to be in the range of (1.0%) to 1.0% YoY or in the range of 2.5 to 4.5% in constant currency. The company now anticipates that non-GAAP operating profit margin will be between 7.5 to 9.0% and adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 16.0 to 17.5%."
The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company's 2022 financial guidance was significantly overstated; (ii) accordingly, once the truth was revealed, it was likely that the Company would be required to negatively revise its 2022 financial guidance; (iii) in addition to the foregoing, material weaknesses existed in the Company's internal control over financial reporting; and (iv) as a result of all of the foregoing, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On November 7, 2022, post-market, Unisys issued a press release disclosing that the Company was lowering its previously stated 2022 financial guidance by a significant margin and that it would be "unable to file, without unreasonable effort and expense and within the prescribed time period, its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 (the 'Form 10-Q')." Specifically, the press release stated that the Company's audit and finance committee "is conducting an internal investigation regarding certain disclosure controls and procedures matters" and that "[f]ollowing the evaluation of the results of the investigation, the Company expects that it may determine that there are one or more material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, which may result in a conclusion that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are not effective."
On this news, Unisys's stock price fell $4.33 per share, or 48%, to close at $7.89 per share on November 8, 2022.

The NFL offseason is almost over.
The Ravens were one of nine teams whose rookies reported to training camp Tuesday. Veterans, meanwhile will arrive in Owings Mills this coming Tuesday, and the team will have its first full practice a day later.
The work began in earnest months ago, though, with the hiring of offensive coordinator Todd Monken, the revamping of a wide receiver group that now includes Odell Beckham Jr. and, of course, quarterback Lamar Jackson’s mega-extension among the most notable changes. In a loaded conference, they were moves that needed to be made just to keep pace.
In the AFC East, future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers has turned the New York Jets into Super Bowl contenders. The AFC West has the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and reigning Most Valuable Player in quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Even the AFC South was splashy, with quarterbacks C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson being drafted second and fourth overall, respectively, by the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts, former All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins signing with the Tennessee Titans and the Jacksonville Jaguars getting star receiver Calvin Ridley back from his yearlong gambling suspension to unite with star quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
The AFC North is hardly a pushover, however.
The Cincinnati Bengals and Joe Burrow have made it to the conference championship each of the past two years, including one Super Bowl. The Cleveland Browns feature one of the league’s best rushing attacks with Nick Chubb, and quarterback Deshaun Watson should be more comfortable and productive in Year 2. The Pittsburgh Steelers return 18 starters on a team that went 7-2 over its final nine games last season.
For the Ravens to be a Super Bowl contender, they’ll need to not only contend with a stacked conference and a difficult schedule the second half of the season, but also navigate what will be a tough division.
Here are the five biggest things to keep an eye on in the AFC North this season, plus five more things to know about the rest of the NFL:
Ravens’ flashy new offense
One of the most significant storylines in the NFL this offseason was the overhauling of the Ravens’ offense.
Gone is Greg Roman’s run-heavy approach and in is Monken’s spread attack that will also give Jackson more control at the line of scrimmage and more input on play calling. With the addition of Beckham, first-round pick Zay Flowers and veteran Nelson Agholor, plus the return of Rashod Bateman, this is easily the most talented and deepest group of receivers the quarterback has had in his five years in Baltimore. Add in three-time Pro Bowl tight end Mark Andrews and Jackson figures to easily top the 3,127 yards he threw for in his 2019 MVP season.
The expectation is that the Ravens will pass more and run less with Jackson, as well as play at a much faster tempo. Will it work? It’ll need to early with three divisional road games in the first five weeks.
Bengals’ revamped offensive line, secondary
Despite the Bengals’ success last season, Burrow was sacked a whopping 41 times. Only five quarterbacks were dropped more, with the Denver Broncos’ Russell Wilson and Chicago Bears’ Justin Fields suffering an NFL-most 55 sacks apiece.
All the Bengals did was add four-time Pro Bowl left tackle Orlando Brown Jr., signing the 27-year-old to a four-year deal that keeps the former Ravens and Chiefs star in Cincinnati through 2026. That will allow the Bengals to slide Jonah Williams over to right tackle after what was a poor year from him on the left side. With veteran guard Alex Cappa, center Ted Karras and second-year guard Cordell Volson, the Bengals should have a much better offensive line.
Last year, the Ravens sacked Burrow eight times in three games, including four times in their wild-card matchup. Consequently, some of Burrow’s worst performances were against Baltimore, as he never topped 217 passing yards and had just three touchdown throws and an interception in three meetings. Still, Burrow will have one of the best receiving corps in football with Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd in what will again be a high-powered offense.
On defense, things are a little more uncertain when it comes to the secondary. Gone are both starting safeties from last season, Jessie Bates III (Atlanta Falcons) and Vonn Bell (Carolina Panthers). Taking their place are 2022 first-round pick Dax Hill, who played in 15 games and made two starts last year, and Nick Scott, who joined the Bengals after four years with the Los Angeles Rams. How quickly they can jell remains to be seen.
Browns a playoff contender?
The Browns have made just one playoff appearance in the past 20 years, the fewest of any team in the NFL in that span. But that could be on the verge of changing given the explosive offensive talent littering the roster.
Deshaun Watson, who was suspended for the first 11 games of last season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy after facing two dozen lawsuits for sexual assault and harassment, was unsurprisingly rusty and struggled when he returned to the field in December. But that shouldn’t be the case this year with a full offseason behind him and with a group of wide receivers that includes Amari Cooper, former Jets second-round pick Elijah Moore, Donovan Peoples-Jones and speedy Marquise Goodwin. The Browns also have perhaps the best running back in football with Chubb coming off his fourth consecutive 1,000-yard season, including a career-high 1,525 yards and 12 touchdowns.
On defense, the Browns are led by edge rusher Myles Garrett, who has 67 1/2 sacks over the past five seasons. Cornerback Denzel Ward, a 26-year-old two-time Pro Bowl selection, should be much better in new defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz’s 4-3 scheme after the team parted ways with embattled predecessor Joe Woods. Whether Schwartz can turn around a run defense that ranked 25th in yards allowed, however, will prove to be a bigger challenge, though the addition of 325-pound defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson should help.
Steelers’ star on the rise
While the Browns legacy of futility remains for now, the Steelers have been able to boast just the opposite, finishing .500 or better for 19 straight seasons.
That should extend to 20 with an offense that flashed at times under rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett, who is armed with a trio of talented receivers in Diontae Johnson, George Pickens and veteran Allen Robinson II, new to Pittsburgh after being traded from the Rams in April. There was also the emergence of tight end Pat Freiermuth, who had 63 catches for 732 yards and two touchdowns in 2022 and could be poised for an even bigger contribution this season.
Pittsburgh’s passing game ranked 24th in yards per game last year, but with a healthy Pickett and a year of experience, it should be much improved. The offensive line should also be much better thanks to the additions of first-round pick Broderick Jones at left tackle and left guard Isaac Seumalo, who spent his first seven years with the Philadelphia Eagles before signing as a free agent in March. A third-round pick in 2016, he should help create a good push inside to aid the running game and back Najee Harris.
On defense, the Steelers will be formidable as usual. Outside linebacker T.J. Watt, the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2021, is healthy again after suffering a pectoral injury last season, end Cameron Heyward has recorded at least 10 sacks each of the past two years and edge rusher Alex Highsmith shared the NFL lead in forced fumbles last season. The secondary, meanwhile, has seen a makeover. While All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick remains, he’s now joined by veteran Patrick Peterson and rookie cornerback Joey Porter Jr., whose father was a legendary linebacker for the Steelers from 1999 to 2006. Porter, a second-round pick out of Penn State who plays his position the way his father played linebacker, should have an immediate impact.
Ravens pass rush, secondary questions
Only four teams had more sacks than the Ravens’ 48 in 2022, but it could be difficult to duplicate that performance this season.
Daily Top Stories
Gone are Justin Houston (free agent) and his 9 1/2 sacks, as are Calais Campbell (Falcons) and his 5 1/2. The responsibility of getting to the quarterback will now largely fall to David Ojabo, Odafe Oweh and Tyus Bowser. Ojabo has all the tools to be a major contributor, but Oweh will have to rebound after taking a step back last season. New outside linebackers coach Chuck Smith, who had 58 1/2 sacks during his nine-year NFL career, will be tasked with getting the most out of this group. It’s also possible the Ravens could look to bring back the 34-year-old Houston or acquire another veteran edge rusher before the season.
Similarly, the Ravens’ secondary was one of the best in the NFL last year, thanks largely to the emergence of rookie safety Kyle Hamilton and contributions from ever-reliable cornerback Marlon Humphrey and veteran safety Marcus Williams. That should be the case again, with Hamilton likely sliding over to a more traditional safety role following the trade of Chuck Clark this offseason. But the cornerback position is not deep and the Ravens could again look to add here before the season.
Around the rest of the NFL
1. Even if the Ravens stay healthy and live up to expectations, the road to Las Vegas for the Super Bowl figures to be a difficult one when considering the other quarterbacks in their conference: Mahomes, Burrow, the Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen, Rodgers, the Los Angeles Chargers’ Justin Herbert, Lawrence, the Miami Dolphins’ Tua Tagovailoa, Watson and Wilson, who should bounce back under new coach Sean Payton.
2. The Eagles are the reigning NFC champs and are well-positioned to repeat, with quarterback Jalen Hurts having signed a long-term extension to lead a loaded offense that includes running backs D’Andre Swift and Rashaad Penny, not to mention one of the league’s best receiver tandems in A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. On defense, they brought back standout cornerbacks James Bradberry and Darius Slay and drafted a pair of Georgia stars, defensive tackle Jalen Carter and outside linebacker Nolan Smith. The rich got richer.
3. With Rodgers trading Green Bay for the Big Apple, the Jordan Love era is finally here. The 2020 first-round pick is set to start for the Packers after showing flashes of his potential in Rodgers’ absence last season.
4. Jackson wasn’t the only quarterback to land a big deal this offseason. The New York Giants’ Daniel Jones signed a four-year, $160 million contract despite having thrown just 36 touchdown passes over the past three seasons. Life could be even tougher for Jones if star running back Saquon Barkley holds out after not receiving an extension before the July 17 franchise tag deadline.
5. The last team to win back-to-back Super Bowls was the New England Patriots in 2003 and 2004. The Chiefs lost both their starting tackles (Brown to the Bengals, Andrew Wylie to the Washington Commanders) and replaced them with Donovan Smith and Jawaan Taylor, but the line otherwise remains unchanged, with left guard Joe Thuney, center Creed Humphrey and right guard Trey Smith all back. The remainder of the offense is again loaded, and the Chiefs boast an underrated defense led by tackle Chris Jones, a Defensive Player of the Year finalist last season. Eight teams have won back-to-back Super Bowls and there’s little reason to think the Chiefs won’t have a good chance of becoming the ninth. | https://www.capitalgazette.com/sports/bs-sp-ravens-training-camp-five-things-to-know-about-afc-north-nfl-20230721-s4hn6tn7yrhw5nfee2wkozqgke-story.html | 2023-07-21 12:38:20 | 1 | https://www.capitalgazette.com/sports/bs-sp-ravens-training-camp-five-things-to-know-about-afc-north-nfl-20230721-s4hn6tn7yrhw5nfee2wkozqgke-story.html |
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – A cold front pushes south through the Tampa Bay area today. It will not bring any rain, but it will usher in even lower humidity.
The breeze from the northwest keeps coastal areas cooler than cities farther inland.
With the lower humidity and breezy conditions wildfires can start and spread quickly, so parts of our area have been issued a Fire Weather Watch for the afternoon. Please limit outdoor burning if possible.
We are in for a cool night tonight, at least by May standards. Overnight lows will be in the upper 50s to low 60s.
We stay below average tomorrow, and we have one more cool-ish night tomorrow night before the humidity returns. Friday is Cinco de Mayo, and it starts out cool, but we climb into the upper 80s with lots of sunshine during the day.
You’ll start to notice the humidity this weekend with highs in the upper 80s. Rain chances remain quite small over the weekend and only increase to 30% next week. | https://www.wfla.com/weather/forecast/breezy-and-even-lower-humidity-this-afternoon/ | 2023-05-03 07:17:46 | 1 | https://www.wfla.com/weather/forecast/breezy-and-even-lower-humidity-this-afternoon/ |
